[Fifteen years ago]
Results are out!
- What did it say? - It's a match! It's definitely his DNA!
- Okay! We'll send it to the prosecution right away! - Yes, sir!
- Good work! - Yes, good work, everyone.
- It seems like we'll make it in time. - As expected of you, Inspector Shinno.
- It is thanks to your guidance, Chief. - No.
- You did great. - Thank you, sir.
Good work for today! You old men did your best too.
What?
Your girlfriend?
I've been busy lately, we haven't met for a while now.
- Let me see. - No, not to you.
- Why? Just let me see. - Why would I show my girlfriend's picture to you?
Just as I thought, you are here.
Chief.
Catch.
Thank you!
Oh, cheers!
Cheers!
This case again? Watanuki Takeshi.
We already know his name and his face, and yet, we can't get hold of him.
He wasn't prosecuted in the previous case because there wasn't enough evidence.
Are the methods the same?
After killing one person, he will go to another town,
and blend in using an alias after the names of historical figures.
But, perhaps, we may be able to determine his next target.
The murder weapon changes each time, but those with blades are always being used.
And, after each murder...
Looks like a marking.
It's revenge.
When Watanuki was a child,
his mother cut off his palm for discipline.
Well, that's enough.
Today, let's celebrate the success of the case handed to you.
Now, again.
Ah, cheers.
Cheers.
Chief, how about meeting your son at a time like this?
I am meeting him. Well, occasionally.
Why so? Don't tell me you're making an excuse out of his adolescence.
Well, that's too bad.
Huh?
In five years, you'll be able to drink with him.
- You mean, with my son? - Yes.
I can't imagine.
Children grow up in no time.
So, please think about the most important to you, Chief.
Dad!
You solved the case?! I heard from sister.
Please, let me know when will you come home. I brought changing clothes for you, in case.
Ah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Sir, are you dad's chief?
Thank you for looking after our dad.
The fault's mine, actually.
Sorry, it's because I always come home late.
Even if he comes home, he'll just sleep.
It's hard to win here. I'm surrounded with women.
You're happy, aren't you?
My dream is to drink with this one someday.
I don't want to preach you when you get drunk, dad.
What? You don't?
Ah, here you are.
Everyone's waiting upstairs.
- Sorry. Sorry. - Your daughters?
- Thank you for looking after our dad. - Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too!
I'm going home today. I have to take these two now.
Contact your son, okay?
If anything, please come to our house with your son.
I will treat you two.
[Present]
At that time, Watanuki Takeshi was concluded as the one who committed the crime
mainly because of the wounds on the palms.
Only the police was aware of this mark.
It seemed that my father was personally chasing after Watanuki.
They said the motive of the murder was to keep him out of the way.
And, my mother was just unlucky to happen to be there.
Are you okay?
I am.
If not Watanuki Takeshi,
the real culprit must be Onodera.
What could be the motive?
Well, that's...
Probably something related to drug trafficking.
What?
If your father had realized what he was doing,
he must have thought of shutting his mouth.
But, there was no such thing recorded in my father's files.
No records were filed in the archive as well.
Well, there's no reason to be stupidly honest and keep your own organization's scandals.
It happened fifteen years ago, and if the police were involved,
it will be really difficult to find physical evidence now.
If there is no physical evidence,
there's only one thing we can do.

So, it was really Onodera.
About the drug trafficking.
What?
You came all the way here to suspect me until now?
We don't have material evidence nor a testimony.
It's a criminal case after all.
Inspector Shinno knew Onodera's transactions.
That's enough reason for Onodera to commit the crime.
- What did it say?! - It's a match! It's definitely his DNA!
We'll send it to the prosecution right away!
I will treat you two.
That kind of person...
I won't let such injustice go unnoticed.
I am sorry.
I have always been suspecting you,
and have been investigating about you.
For that, I am really sorry.
Raise your head, Kazehaya.
You should know now.
Onodera resigned as a detective right after Inspector Shinno was murdered.
Also, Onodera's side transactions were covered up.
You are not the one who has to apologize.
Tanada Masahiko.
Fifteen years ago, you were the chief of this precinct's Criminal Division Three.
Yes. What is this for?
You're treating me like a suspect with this setup.
I apologize. There are no other rooms available.
I want to know about my father.
My name is Shinno Akari.
Shinno?
You are Inspector Shinno's daughter?
Do you know my father?
I don't think there's anyone in this town who doesn't know about that incident.
Have you ever talked to my father?
From when?
For example, when my father was assigned here.
Or, when you became the chief.
How about right before the incident?
Hey, what are you writing there?
What's that?
Could you please answer the question?
I don't remember now. It's been already fifteen years.
- No, you remember. - Huh?
I saw the emotion "fear" from you when I mentioned about my father.
Tell me, why are you afraid to talk about my father?
- What is this woman — - Please answer the question.
This is stupid. Excuse me.
The quality of detectives nowadays has declined —
Onodera Daigo.
A former detective, Onodera Daigo.
Don't you remember him?
- Ah, I don't remember. - Sir?
Looks like you remember.
We are not trying to blame you about anything.
What we want to know is not about what you did fifteen years ago,
but what happened between Onodera and my father.
- Would you mind tell us? - I said I don't remember anything!
Kumokawa?
Chief Tanada, it's been a long time.
If I'm not mistaken, you were with Inspector Shinno.
So, you remember me?
I'm sorry. I was thinking of meeting you right away,
but, I was doing some research.
Stored at the back of the archive room.
List of seized drugs and storage logbooks,
tampered and disguised as loss.
On these records
were notes written by you, who was the section chief at that time.
Trivial.
Also, I found this.
A record from the organization that Onodera was dealing with.
What?
It appears that there was a person
meddling between Onodera and that organization,
and it was one of our own.
And, the person who was capable in Division Three at that time...
- ...was? - Stop right there!
I only coordinated Onodera with the executive over there!
I had no idea what happened after that!
Were you really meddling?
If you're only dealing with the product and not with the buyer, you can't really say it meddling, right?
Besides, I only received a small amount of brokerage fee.
Thankfully, there were still documents left.
What are you saying?
I don't think there was any.
What?
Bastard! You fooled me.
Quite like what those people do?
Detectives nowadays, I mean.
Did my father find out about Onodera's dealings?
Yes. The day I was assigned to Division Three, he asked me about Onodera.
Did Onodera notice that my father has found out?
He must have known.
Therefore, he murdered my father and mother right after, is that so?
That happened so.
What the hell are you guys after?
Kazehaya.
Are you going to talk to Deputy Director Hirayasu?
Yeah.
Is he really your dad?
It appears he is.
I'm sorry.
I just can't sense that you are.
Me too.
Right from the start, we hadn't had a parent-child conversation.
Even more so, when I became a police officer.
If that is so,
you will have a hard time conversing with him.
Why? Are you worried?
Yes.
- Shall I go with you? - What?
But, I am indebted to Deputy Director,
so I don't know if I could be of any help.
I'll be fine.
Didn't I tell you?
This is a problem I have to face on my own.
No matter what that person does,
I will disclose everything.
What is the reason you are calling me to a place like this?
Don't you remember this place?
Hm?
There were errors in the documents you provided.
Errors?
The one who was involved in the drug trafficking fifteen years ago
was not Kumokawa.
It was Onodera Daigo.
It seemed like Inspector Shinno Yosuke was also aware of this.
Shinno?
Well, that's new.
Is that so?
This is what I think happened.
Inspector Shinno, who noticed the diversion, talked to Onodera himself first.
- Did you really think I wouldn't find out? - What?!
You should write your resignation now! Do you hear me?
Onodera!
Alright.
However, Onodera wasn't swayed.
He killed Inspector Shinno and his wife
in order to silence him.
He wounded his palm to make it look like
one of Watanuki Takeshi's murders.
And so, after that, Onodera...
Kumokawa also remembered that time.
He told me you took the lead and directed the operation.
Thoroughly search for evidences against Watanuki now!
We will bring justice to Inspector Shinno's death!
Are we clear?!
Yes, sir!
And so, an arrest warrant was issued for Watanuki Takeshi.
As I said before, the suspect died, and the case was closed.
Until now, I am still thinking about —
And yet, until then,
you haven't realized?
The real culprit was Onodera.
Huh.
Deputy Director, where did you get these documents from?
Aside from the fact that these were twisted to make it look like it was all Kumokawa's doing,
these were incredibly written in details.
Wasn't there any detailed notes somewhere supposedly?
Didn't Inspector Shinno leave any notes?
Are my assumptions wrong?
What do you mean?!
Did you do it?
Answer me!
Yes.
Stand up!
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I'll let this pass.
What?
For the organization.
You understand?
All that for the organization?
Is that it?
No.
Not only for that.
If I turned a blind eye to what Onodera did,
I could finally charge Watanuki Takeshi with a crime.
It was Watanuki whom Shinno had been dedicatively chasing all those times.
I wanted to finish what Shinno had left.
The culprit was a detective in our office, and in order to cover up his scandal,
he murdered his own superior.
- And, that involved not only me anymore. - That was your reason?
Was it more important than the truth about how your comrade was killed?
For me, it was!
You already know the rest.
And, the reason why you stay close to Shinno Akari?
I don't know when will her sister, Shiori, regain her memories.
She was also at the scene when it happened.
There's a risk that one of them will say Onodera is the real culprit.
So, I told them I'll look after them to be able to keep an eye on them.
So, for fifteen years, you just continued on deceiving them?!
This is...
I will disclose it all.
It will do no good.
You know what will happen if you do that.
Don't take this the wrong way, Ryo.
I'm not saying this to protect myself.
Protecting the police force is protecting the security of this country.
The police that knocks down on crime must be absolutely righteous.
This kind of scandal should never be made public.
Understand, Ryo.
I don't understand.
You're only making it sound good.
But, there'll never be an excuse for it!
Some people had their lives ruined because of it.
There are still people who are desperately fighting to know the truth!
All this time, I've been longing for...
my father...
But, it appears he doesn't even know that!
Really? Don't you remember this place?
You brought me here just once before you left mom.
It was the time you told me!
The job of the police is
to protect the lives of each and every citizen.
Always do what you think is right.
No matter what anyone says, don't twist your own justice.
I admired you that much,
I wanted to catch up with you.
I became a police officer because I wanted you to recognize me.
But...
But, were you just making up those words?
Were you?
Answer me!
I'm begging you, don't lie to me again!
Dad!
Really? Is this really all fine to you?!
Dad!
- Oh, Ryo. - Wow. Amazing!
The job of the police is
to protect the lives of each and every citizen.
Hear me out, Ryo.
Always do what you think is right.
No matter what anyone says,
don't twist your own justice.
Okay.
It's no use.
With that evidence alone, it's useless.
- Still, that will — - No.
I'm saying, you won't be able to do it using your influence alone.
And so, I will...
This thing...
I will make this thing public myself.
It's okay now.
It's okay now, Ryo.
You got hurt.
I hurt you, Ryo.
Don't be like me.
In the murder case that occurred on the nineteenth of July 2007,
within the jurisdiction of Kanagawa Prefectural Police, East Kanagawa Precinct,
we are here to inform you that the leading suspect, Watanuki Takeshi,
was found unrelated to the case,
but instead, Onodera Daigo, a former detective from the same precinct,
and now, he is on the national wanted list.
From the traces that were left at the crime scene...
Deputy Director is finally admitting it.
It surely isn't easy to hold a press conference like that.
He must have gone against the higher office for it.
It was my personal decision to cover up the case.
And, therefore, all responsibilities are mine.
With this, I have decided I should no longer continue with my position.
In accordance, I hereby announce my resignation
as the Deputy Director of the National Police Agency.
I apologize.
It's good to know the truth.
And, you acknowledged that.
That's more than enough for now.
Just...
My father left notes about Onodera, right?
Yes.
To whom the notes were for?
Since it was a scandal concerning the organization,
it would be too careless to put them on notes alone.
Maybe, they were meant to show someone.
For example, he left them for his trusted superior to see.
I think my father believed in you from the bottom of his heart.
I am really sorry.
I've been deceiving you for fifteen years.
No.
The truth is,
every time you visit my sister,
I always see it.
Akari, you will become a detective like your father.
I am looking forward to it.
The color of guilt.
Shinno.
You went alone.
Thank you very much.
For admitting everything.
No.
Sir.
What emotions did you see?
You too will realize your own feelings someday.
When the time comes, please be honest with yourself.
I understand.
I will do so.
Alright.
Well then, I'll go now.
Dad!
Someday,
it would be nice if we could have a drink together.
Okay.
Alright.
Let's go back now.
There is still work to be done.
The one who sent this letter to Toda Yamato
was you, am I right?
Shouji.
What letter are you talking about?
When we were interviewing you,
I saw the emotion "anxiety" from you.
I heard from the news that a body was found,
and so, I came to see how things are.
...the suspect in the murder case fifteen years ago would have been murdered.
- What about the police at that time? - What about them?
Ah, they did quite good.
If you just heard about the incident then,
how come you felt anxious?
The friend who testified for your alibi said
you asked him to pretend to have gone on a trip
because you were afraid some false suspicions would rise up against you.
Also, you
had debts to pay to Toshinori and Kamoi.
A convincing motive to kill the two.
Next slide, please.
Why are you suddenly feeling anxious by only looking at those photos?
Why?
Anyone would feel anxious if you show them pictures of horrifying weapons —
Is it because they are both pictures of murder weapons?
Of course, yes!
Why is the shovel also a murder weapon?
It hasn't yet been reported that the shovel found beside Toshinori
was the murder weapon.
Shouji.
It's already too late.
Even if you regret now,
the lives you took and Yamato's fifteen years
will not come back anymore.
What's wrong?
Why the long face?
No.
It turned out your dad was innocent.
So, does that mean that person was a good father?
Until now, even if you tell me to remember only good times,
- to me... - I think that's fine.
The feelings you had for your father for the past fifteen years were
genuinely yours, Yamato.
However,
they might change once more.
Even if you just had the chance now,
it still meant you found out the truth.
Yes.
Ah, wait here for a second.
The case is solved now.
Let's have a toast.
You're still too young for this, Yamato.
Ugh. Bitter.
I told you this taste is for adults.
Well then, can I drink this when I grow up?
Oh, yes.
- Let's drink together someday. - Yeah!
That's a promise!
Thank you.
What?
It was thanks to you, Shinno,
I was able to confront my dad.
No.
I should be the one saying thank you to you.
I learned many things thanks to you, Kazehaya.
What kind of emotions did you see from my dad last time?
You were smiling, Shinno.
Ah, I was.
Sir.
It's the feeling of love.
Love? Really, love?
To whom could it be?
There was only one possible person there, right?
Hey! What are you saying?
Sister, I know who the culprit now.
I think Hirayasu and Kazehaya
have also made up.
So, all that's left now is to find Onodera.
Yes.
What is it, Shinno?
Onodera's motive was
to silence my father about the drug diversion case, right?
Deputy Director also said so in the press conference.
What's bothering you?
I saw it that time.
From Onodera's eyes.
Onodera's emotion.
This color.
Was the motive only to silence?
There may be hidden circumstances that
even Deputy Director Hirayasu doesn't know yet.
Either way there is one thing to do.
Find Onodera.
Right.
Criminal Division One.
Yes?
There's a person who turned himself in just now.
Hello.
Long time no see.
