"Tanishige-san went to meet Saegusa-san and yelled out..." "You were the one that killed him!" "...while hitting him." "but there's a chance that he was murdered." "So you're saying that Tanishige-san thinks that the person who killed his father was Saegusa-san?" "He's in a coma?" "There is a possibility that he received injuries to his head." "Why did you dispose of the case as a suicide?" "That same day there was a case in Suginami where a wealth family's daughter was murdered." "The person who gave the eye-witness testimony that led to the arrest of the murderer for the Suginami case was Saegusa Naohiko-san." "I gave a testimony on fair grounds." "No one will be able to arrest me." "Two cases that shouldn't have been related have become connected." "This is a summary of the Suginami case." "due to relationship troubles." "He had denied everything but was sentenced with lifetime imprisonment." "Here it's written that all procedures for a retrial ended after the accused passed away." "He passed away in prison while the procedures were still taking place." "His mother is currently following up with the procedures herself." "So how is this case related to our current case with Tanishige-san? there's a very high chance that Sageusa-san was the one who had murdered Tanishige-san's father." "So shouldn't they have re-opened investigations to check that?" "But that didn't happen." "was killed." "Also." "Saegusa-san was regarded as the prime suspect for murdering Tanishige-san's father." "which should have occurred around the same time." "So he killed him and then moved to the other place right away?" "Ah... that hurts!" "the locations of the two events are an hour away by car." "So then you're saying he time travelled?" "Like "zap!" "Except that's impossible so..." "To create an alibi for himself he gave a false testimony." "seriously---Ow!" "So the person who declared Tanishige-san's fathers death as a suicide put more weight on that testimony." "And the person who collected that testimony is standing right over there." "Sada-sensei!" "It was you!" "Don't sound so accusatory!" "I'm sorry." "W-W-W-hat happened to Monaco?" "It flew away!" "It's gone... with the wind." "24)}[T/N:" "Sada-sensei is referencing the novel "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell]" "I see..." "What did he mean by that?" "I'm not really sure..." "It's true that the person who was in charge of investigating Saegusa Naohito 18 years ago was me." "I was on my way back from a work meeting and just as I was crossing the end of Nansei Bridge I saw a biker heading in the direction of Nerima." "Do you remember any details?" "The bike was a Zephyr 400." "and he was wearing a black helmet and a white jacket." "On the front of the jacket was a logo of a green house." "Is the man you saw in any of these photos?" "without a doubt." "Saegusa's testimony was incredibly clear and detailed." "To the point where it was actually hard to believe him." "that we needed to check things one more time." "After that everything that happened was decided on by the head prosecutor and was out of my hands!" "was declared guilty because of the testimony that you had collected." "That's how important that piece of evidence was." "how a case is concluded depends on the head prosecutor in charge of it!" "if you had properly verified the testimony you probably could've arrested Saegusa-san right there and then." "And then the current case with Tanishige Naoki-san's would never have happened." "0)}" "That was a result that happened after the fact!" "I couldn't have guessed something like this would have happened at the time!" "Aren't you just making excuses?" "how about these injuries...!" "I did everything I could!" "You can't fault me for anything!" "there was no evidence that could have proved Saegusa-san's testimony had been a lie." "Wouldn't proving Saegusa-san as the murderer of Tanishige-san's father be the best evidence?" "Isn't the reason you dragged me back here because you couldn't find any decisive evidence to prove that!" "Now you're just wasting my time." "You just keep making up more and more excuses." "Finding the truth hidden in the 0.01% is your specialty isn't it?" "then come back when you've actually found something!" "Okay." "I'm leaving the cancellation fees for my trip to you." "What's with that face?" "I'm heading out." "Miyama-sensei." "Akashi will be leaving too!" "Fujino will be cleaning!" "Hey!" "Having his testimony go through for the Suginami-case is Saegusa-san's biggest trump card in securing an alibi." "if we can break apart that testimony than Saegusa-san won't be able to run from this anymore." "how are we going to break it?" "I'm going to where Saegusa-san said he witnessed Mashima-san." "You're talking about something that happened 18 years ago." "but it's still better to see the place with our own eyes." "Could you prepare the rest of the documents for me?" "I'm going too!" "Wait a second!" "I'm injured you know!" "In three places!" "So that's what happened... so it's true that there was an immense pressure to find the culprit as soon as possible." "at the time a person called Saegusa appeared as the perfect witness." "The testimony Saegusa gave was more than anyone could hope for and became the deciding factor." "Mashima Hiroyuki had already been pronounced guilty." "No one could take back the verdict by then." "everyone had been fooled by Saegusa." "He didn't fool me." "I told them to do another investigation!" "Then Mashima died fighting for his innocence while still in prison." "I wonder how things would have turned out if you had continued being a prosecutor." "I'm not interested in "what-ifs" "Then why did you cancel your trip and come back?" "but for those involved it greatly affected their lives." "Criminal cases are difficult like that... wait!" "You're walking too fast!" "No one has bothered asking yet so I'll just say it... wait!" "Huh?" "Aren't you curious at all about any of this?" "and got 5 stitches in my head!" "Ah..." "What do you mean "ahh?" "!" "after I went out with Takeda..." "Let's do this!" "Who the hell is Akashingo you jackass!" "Ow!" "It's a beehive!" "I can't banana this!" "by changing "bakana" into "banana".]" "this is bad!" "It was the first time I realized you could use "I can't banana this" and "misfortune always comes in threes" in a situation together like that." "AND the entire situation that happened to him.]" "I can't believe an actual banana..." "I can't banana this...!" "It was a banana and a bee!" "I really slid on that banana!" "You're not even listening..." "It's been a while since I was last here." "It has been." "Yes." "How many years has it been?" "Ever since I left so... it would be 18 years?" "Has it already been that long?" "Yes." "Usually someone would at least come back to say hi at least once or twice." "0)} 0)}" "My apologies." "It's just like you though." "Yes..." "So?" "I have something I'd like to ask you about the Suginami case from 18 years ago." "I'd told you that I thought the testimony given by a person named Saegusa had been unnaturally detailed and asked for another investigation." "no matter how you look at the case it only shows the testimony I had collected." "Did another investigation ever take place?" "It means I trusted the report provided to me by one of my most prized subordinates." "The police put all their resources into this investigation and were the ones who decided to arrest Mashima." "I believed in their evidence and decided that they had made the right choice." "I only did what was expected." "That will be 4900yen." "Thank you--Ah!" "It's hot!" "that's hot!" "This is really hot..." "I'm back." "Welcome back." "Hot!" "Here's 5000yen." "1...{\alphaHFF} 2... 3... 4... 5 1... 2... {\alphaHFF}3... 4... 5" "1... 2... 3... {\alphaHFF}4... 5 1... 2... 3... 4... {\alphaHFF}5" "1... 2... 3... 4... 5..." "How was it?" "I'm guessing you weren't able to find much right?" "We saw a lot of bikes pass over the bridge but... recording the details of all of them was impossible." "so of course that would be the case." "I found news footage about the case in the old records." "Do you want to see them?" "Ho-ho..." "Noooo!" "it's really hot!" "Let's watch it." "Okay." "Kazu-kun..." "Shirasaki Women's college." "He crossed over this bridge and was spotted attempting to escape towards Nerima." "Apparently he had been biking at very high speeds..." "If he was moving so fast you wouldn't be able to notice anything." "How could they have let a testimony like that get through?" "426)}The police have learned that Ohno-san was involved in some sort of trouble and the investigation is still on-going." "you're right!" "This tastes way better." "What is this?" "What?" "It's fine!" "the suspect Mashima was seen crossing that bridge at high speeds." "500)}" "I need eye drops." "he crossed this bridge and was attempting to escape to Nerima." "...the campus of Shirasaki Women's College..." "Did you figure something out?" "No one will be able to arrest me." "I found the 0.01%." "Japan's conviction rate for criminal cases is 99.9%." "A person who has been prosecuted is almost always assumed to be guilty." "This drama is a story about lawyers who take on difficult cases in order to find the truth hidden within that remaining 0.01%." "Good morning." "God you scared me!" "How many times do I need to tell you to stop coming into my office like that! was closed due to construction." "Good morning." "take a look at these." "These are the construction records for Nansei Bridge at the time." "I also received a confirmation from the Suginami Ward Office that on that night the bridge had definitely been under construction." "There was absolutely no way anyone could have seen Mashima-san crossing that bridge on his bike." "This is absolute proof that Saegusa-san made up his testimony after the crime." "If a detective had actually visited the location they should have realized this right away." "This is what happens when all you do is focus on written reports." "A judge on trial wouldn't have been able to ignore this evidence either." "Saegusa-san's testimony could have been revealed to be fake and you could've broken his alibi." "Looks like I found it." "We should give this to Mashima's attorneys as additional evidence..." "I got it." "Is this true?" "Yes." "The evidence should have been passed on to your attorneys by one our own." "I should apologize." "I was one of the prosecutors who had been involved in the case." "I may have also been one of the ones responsible for your son's guilty verdict." "I am the only one responsible." "From the bottom of my heart..." "I am truly sorry for everything." "Will they finally allow for a retrial now?" "They will be able to prove his innocence this time right?" "I've lived as the mother of a murderer for 18 years." "Ever since he died..." "I'd thought about doing the same many times." "But once I learned that family members were allowed to request for a retrial" "I thought that I had to prove his innocence no matter what... so I fought for it." "I don't care who you are." "If you can prove that my son was innocent... then I give you my utmost gratitude." "thank you." "what's your opinion on this?" "I read the documents submitted by the attorneys and Saegusa's testimony has been completely torn apart." "made up a false testimony in order to create an alibi for himself." "0)} 0)}" "Call in Saegusa." "Understood." "I'll tell him what we've found out and and you will listen to Saegusa's story one more time." "What do you mean?" "There must have been another bridge nearby." "Saegusa made a mistake when remembering." "but at Hokusei Bridge instead." "But... 18 years ago Saegusa himself said that..." "Anyone would make a mistake like that." "Call him and check." "it was actually Hokusei Bridge." "Are you sure you remember this?" "We are talking about 18 years ago." "I remember everything very clearly." "Should I just sign over there?" "I'm sorry for having to trouble you with this." "there shouldn't be any more problems." "Now then." "Otomo." "It's been a while since we've gone for a round of golf." "How does next week sound?" "Of course." "Excuse me." "304)}[Request for Retrial Rejected]" "How is this possible?" "how could they say that it was actually another bridge where he was witnessed and have it get approved?" "!" "But this makes things pretty clear now." "What?" "What we need to do next." "But there's nothing we can do next... is there?" "That's why our next move is to look at those related to the Suginami case." "these guys?" "I see." "Ow... insisted he was innocent up until he died." "The deciding factor in Mashima-san's arrest was Saegusa-san's testimony." "that testimony was actually fake." "Which means there's a high chance that Mashima-san was falsely accused." "Which means that if can find the actual culprit then we can prove that Saegusa-san never witnessed Mashima-san." "Saegusa-san will have nowhere to run." "Listen up." "We're going to re-look at this case from top to bottom!" "We will prove Mashima-san's innocence no matter what!" "Okay." "Okay." "Ohno Miki-san was a third year at Shirasaki Women's College at the time." "a student at Shin-Nihon Athletics College." "the two of them started dating." "How long had they been dating for?" "Three years." "What was the motive for murder?" "Ohno Miki told one of her friends she had gotten into a big fight with Mashima and when it turned into a possible break up she said she had felt threatened and was worried about her safety." "the night of the incident Mashima-san asked Ohno-san to meet him on the campus of Shirasaki Women's College so they could talk." "Why won't you understand?" "!" "killing her." "Seki Pharmacy." "Currently it is called Drug Store Seki." "right after the incident Mashima-san was seen riding past on his bike." "Mashima-san didn't have an alibi?" "He didn't." "At the time he had been living in the school dorms. but his friend who lived besides him wasn't able to confirm this." "I will be going to speak to Mashima-san's friend." "I'll go and talk to Ohno-san's friend." "I'll be going too then." "Eh?" "Huh?" "With her." "With me?" "Thank god..." "I need to get my bag." "I'm off." "Okay." "I'm just going to get my bag." "Why did you move?" "!" "Because Shiga-sensei..." "What are you so worked up about Sada!" "You could at least say thanks!" "I moved out of the way just for you!" "You were living in the room next to Mashima-san?" "Yes." "The night of the incident we were studying in his room until 10pm." "340)}Itabashi Takuji" "And after that?" "It was the middle of exam week and we had been pulling all-nighters the whole time so I went to sleep before him." "Between what times were you asleep?" "Past 10pm until around 3am I think." "And about Mashima-san going out during that time...?" "I was sleeping pretty deeply so I don't know..." "If I hadn't fallen asleep and I had been able to confirm he had been in his room then maybe this wouldn't have happened..." "I see that you're married." "for 10 years now." "Do you have any children?" "I have a son." "I see." "Is this important?" "No." "It's just sometimes things that seem unimportant can end up being very important later." "Can I ask one more thing?" "Yes." "Do you think that Mashima-san killed Ohno Miki?" "I had heard that they were fighting... and they were about to break up right?" "That's what was said." "Then things became violent and he killed her." "then things wouldn't have gotten out of hand and she wouldn't have been killed... 1...{\alphaHFF} 2... 3... 4... 1... 2... {\alphaHFF}3... 4... 1... 2... 3... {\alphaHFF}4... 1... 2... 3... 4..." "Make sure your ankles are bent at 90 degrees." "That wasn't true! it wasn't a big deal." "I never said that she felt threatened or in danger." "Is that so?" "but... dirty eyes." "Even after 18 years I still think those eyes were very dirty." "You didn't check the written records?" "What do you mean?" "Before they tell you to sign your testimony they usually tell you to read through it and make sure nothing is out of place before they put a stamp on it." "Ah..." "I don't think I did that." "I just kind of skimmed it." "I didn't think they would write anything false and just signed it without thinking." "could you please tell us now?" "now that you mention it..." "Miki said there was a guy who kept coming on to her and it was causing her a few problems." "A person who was coming on to her?" "Are you sure about this?" "I remember it very clearly." "I was also the type who had guys coming after me all the time so I was always like "Me too!" "Take a deep breath and move into the tree pose." "It seemed like he was pretty persistent though." "You don't know who it was that was bothering her?" "She never told me." "If only it had been me in her place instead... now expand your chest and move into the triangle pose." "The report that Ohno-san's friend gave and what was written in the prosecution reports are pretty different." "They really twisted her words around." "And this is really swelling up." "Shut up already!" "Doesn't it count for anything that they conducted an illegal investigation?" "It was 18 years ago so proving it would be hard." "did you ever do something like this?" "I'm just going to say this here and now." "When I was a prosecutor I never did anything illegal." "Hmm..." "What?" "!" "Hmm..." "Why do you keep doing that?" "I never!" "Who was trying to get close to Ohno-san?" "No matter how often she asked it seemed like Ohno-san never told her." "So this guy tried pursuing her and was rejected which then possibly led to violence?" "You could explain things that way..." "But these photos clearly show Mashima-san." "The jacket and helmet he's wearing and the bike are all definitely his too." "But the person himself insisted he never left his room." "if we can find a fault in the footage from the security camera then the possibility of that being true can go up." "Then let's re-enact the footage from the security camera then." "Akashi-san are you coming?" "this and this?" "please." "Okay." "I'LL DO IT!" "Why didn't you just say that to begin with?" "How is this?" "I think it needs to be a bit more to the left." "Like this?" "Yeah." "Um..." "Ah... just a bit more." "Is it okay for me to stay here?" "Yeah." "So like this?" "Is something happening?" "Something like that." "keep it like that." "It looks like there's a bike all geared up to go!" "42)}[T/N:" "The old man is making a pun on the word "autobai" = autobike/motorbike and "orutobai" = to be/to exist.]" "how are you?" "Miyama Hiroto-kun." "The helmet keeps scratching me and now I'm bleeding." "Understood." "What do you mean "understood"?" "!" "are you good to go?" "so leave all filming to me!" "I see." "start." "Akashi coming through!" "Ow... ow..." "This really hurts..." "Let's check it." "We can't use this... they're pretty much exactly the same image." "Why are you suddenly so in to this?" "Because if we solve this case than it will help our client Tanishige-san." "Hmm...." "Why do you keep doing that?" "!" "now..--OW!" "One by one..." "Ah!" "Ah... they all hit the same places too." "One by one?" "One by one." "I've taken care of all my client's stories one by one!" "God has given me an immortal body..." "Ah!" "OWW!" "I'm sorry!" "What's wrong Tachibana?" "God has given me..." "I borrowed these from one of Mashima-san's old schoolmates." "...and immortal body... oi!" "Sorry...!" "Will it help?" "will not run away..." "This is from the club?" "and this is during their entrance ceremony." "I think this was out of school." "We can't really use this..." "SING IT!" "rock you!" "STOP IT!" "I'm injured in three different places..." "Twice... yeah... you "Rock You" grandpa..." "What a day." "Akashi that jackass!" "What happened?" "you see..." "We couldn't find any conclusive evidence... it was something that happened 18 years ago." "Yeah..." "I'm going to bust his head open with a heavy rain." "48)}[T/N:" "Heavy Rain is one of pro-wrestler Okada Kazuchika's signature moves." "It is a throw that smashes a person's neck into the ground.]" "Ah... he's home!" "I'm back." "Welcome home papa." "Let's go walk T.T together." "Wanna go for a walk?" "Come on T.T." "don't shorten his name like that!" "It's not T.T." "It's Tokai Teio!" "hurry up!" "You could at least say thank you to your daughter who hasn't made a single complaint even though you had to cancel our vacation plans for work." "Even though you never say thank you to me either." "You were supposed to keep T.T a secret from papa!" "Like I said it's not T.T..." "I am grateful though." "Sorry for making you wait. and I'm not talking about the poet!" "one of the 6 best known poets of Heian Japan.]" "so you're a singer." "I'm a singer and songwriter." "What is it?" "but you used to do some music yourself didn't you?" "Why?"

"but you were probably super popular back then weren't you?" "I can just feel... {\alphaHFF}it." "I can just feel... it." "I know these things." "Not at all." "You totally missed again." "Really?" "It's because he's tall so I thought he'd be popular." "That's true." "He is pretty tall... if I stretch out my hands it barely reaches his height." "you're right!" "How many cm's are you?" "180cm." "26)}[T/N: 180cm = 5'9ft] 180cm?" "!" "I can definitely see that." "They weren't able to confirm that he was in his room at the time of the crime."

"Here you go." "you're still not done?" "can you wait?" "Eh..." "How about you play with me then?" "over there!" "Excuse me." "let's continue our conversation." "Ohno-san told a friend of hers that another man was trying to pursue her." "look at these." "There's a similar point of interest in all these photos." "There are photos of you acting friendly beside Mashima-san but there are also photos like this where you are as far away from him as possible." "it's always when Mashima-san is beside Ohno-san." "girlfriend." "That's why seeing them together was painful for you." "You're wrong." "Right." "Let's change the topic then."

"as well as the trial records and the investigation reports." "But..." "Not one of them ever mentioned Ohno-san running and being killed in retaliation." "only the instigator of the crime would have known this piece of information." "When Mashima-san was in his room studying for his exams you called Ohno-san out to meet you." "Then you borrowed Mashima-san's bike without telling him and went to meet Ohno-san." "Am I wrong?" "Your height is...?" "Please leave." "My son is waiting for me." "Itabasahi-san!" "here us out until the end." "just like you." "It is something that absolutely cannot be replaced." "also had family who was important to them." "I feel responsible for what happened."

"Make up for your own sins on your own." "That's all that we ask of you." "Itabashi confessed." "will be affected." "Something has to be done about this." "That's enough." "Chief Otomo!" "Us prosecutors must stand together... and come to terms with what has happened." "I am sorry for what will happen to Superintendent Jujo but..." "Marukawa." "Yes?"

"You can't run anymore." "What was it that you said?" "it was..." "No one will be able to arrest me." "That's what you said right?" "The police and the prosecutors have started moving." "on fair grounds... please accept the judgement awaiting you." "but as the head prosecutor for the case at the time do you have anything to say?" "Is it true that you used false evidence?"
