"This afternoon Ishikawa Yoichi was arrested on suspicions of murder." "The police claimed that Ishikawa's blood and hair were found at the murder scenes..." "Did Miyama really do it?" "I don't think he did it was a false accusation." "The arrest was just issued today." "Is this our first time meeting?" "If we've met before I apologize." "The prosecutor who was in charge of the case with Miyama's father was you wasn't it?" "And what of it?" "Yes?" "Excuse me." "Marukawa?" "What's going on with the serial murders case I gave you to handle?" "We found hair and blood samples from the suspect at each of the murder locations." "He continues to deny everything but I am sure he is the one" "Then why hasn't he confessed yet?" "I'm sorry." "Chief Otomo has finally been recommended to take the position of Superintendent of the High Prosecutors office." "Do you really want to leave him with this..." "No no those are my personal affairs." "Marukawa." "Yes." "Do what you need to do." "You understand what I'm saying don't you?" "The police have reported that Ishikawa Yoichi who was arrested as the suspect for two murders in Meguro-ku and Koto-ku has confessed to all the crimes." "What's this for?" "It's candy my daughters made." "Homemade?" "My daughter used to do things like this too..." "They're so cute!" "It feels like a waste to eat them." "This is gross." "It's too sweet." "Stop it!" "His kids worked hard to makes these and you go and say something like that..." "I'm just speaking the truth." "I'll still eat them though it's not the candy at fault here." "It sounds like you're saying my daughters are the ones..." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Our next client." "Got it." "It's related to the recent serial murder case that has been occurring in the city." "The defendant's father has asked us for help." "The one where the victims were sexually assaulted and then murdered right?" "The news just said he confessed..." "Apparently." "I'm leaving it you guys." "Tachibana!" "On it." "I'm heading out!" "See you." "Keep a proper eye on him." "Understood." "{\pos(372276)}Defendant{\fad(5000)}" "{\pos(390296)}Ishikawa Yoichi{\fad(5000)}" "I am one of your attorney's Miyama." "I'm Tachibana." "Please take a seat." "Let's get right too it could you start by telling me when you were ..." "Um.." "I didn't do it." "I told you I didn't do it!" "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 0.1%." "You signed the documents saying you confessed didn't you?" "They made me sign them." "I didn't actually do it." "I kept telling the prosecutors that but..." "Then why were traces of your hair and blood found in a place you said you never went to?" "Like I said I..." "For example." "For example let's say a daifuku was stolen off a plate." "There was no one else in the room but you and around your lips are traces of powder from the daifuku." "That's the situation you're in right now." "Every single day they kept asking me the same things until the middle of the night." "If you sign here we can end these sessions now." "In the end I wasn't even sure what I'd done when I signed those papers." "Here is Isan Park where the crime took place." "The first victim in a series of murders taking place in the city Nakada Mari-san was working as an election campaign staff for prefectural candidate Takayama Kosuke." "It is unfortunate that one of my most helpful staff was caught in such a terrible incident." "The second victim Oka Yumiko-san was diagnosed with stomach cancer 5 years ago and had only announced a full recovery just last month." "This is about the series of murders that have been happening throughout the city." "For the first case it happened on May 28th in Meguro-ku." "The victim Nakada Mari-san was on her way home when she was dragged to Isan Park and killed." "The time of the murder was between 11pm-12pm." "Then for the second case." "It occurred on June 3rd and happened in Koto-ku." "The victim was Oka Yumiko-san." "She was also on her way home when she was approached by the killer on Kyosen Bridge and dragged underneath where he then killed her." "The time of the murder was between 9pm and 10pm." "The points connecting these two murders are that at each location they found traces of hair and blood samples coming from the defendant Ishikawa-san." "Also the methods by which the murders took place were exacty the same." "They were both stabbed once in the heart by a knife." "He stabbed them with this?" "The DNA found from the hair and blood matched with Ishikawa-san's?" "Yes." "He must be pretty brave to keep insisting he's innocent..." "What was his alibi during the time of the murders?" "For the first case he said he had been at home alone but for the second he said he was at Chofu Central station." "The material evidence they have for this case is solid." "If we're going to dispute it we need to prove that Ishikawa-san hadn't been at any of the crime scenes." "Understood." "Akashi Fujino go to... where was it?" "Chofu Central station." "Go there and check the footage from the security cameras from around the time of the crime." "I'll go to where Ishikawa-san works and ask about him." "Ah I'll leave that to you." "And then... for Miyama." "I'm going out." "Where are you going?" "What was that..." "I was told that Ishikawa-san was passed over for a full-time staff position and that frustrated him to the point of committing the murders." "No I don't think would've been the case." "Ishikawa used to always say "A full time worker has too many responsiblities so I just want to stay like this"." "Stay as he was?" "Yeah." "We'd like to see the footage from the security cameras..." "Well if you were lawyers but... the two of you aren't right?" "Akashi-kun I'll do it today." "Eh?" "Please... just this once!" "What are you doing?" "If you want to sleep go home!" "We're begging you!" "Well if you're going to go that far then..." "Eh?" "Thank you so much!" "Ever since he was young he had always been a bit of a pushover." "He never liked getting into fights with people." "{\pos(188278)}Defendant's Father{\fad(5000)}" "{\pos(170298)}Ishikawa Keita{\fad(5000)}" "Did he ever do anything like judo?" "Or anything that requires throwing people around?" "No." "I see." "Sensei can someone be arrested so easily even if they don't have any memory of doing what was said?" "This is really good." "It's just normal." "I told you I didn't do it!" "Just stop this already!" "The reports were wrong?" "Apparently Ishikawa-san didn't want to become a full-time worker." "Why would the reports say he was frustrated to the point of committing murder..." "Because they needed a motive." "We're back." "We got the security camera footage." "You came at a good time." "Because I asked them too..." "W-What are you doing?" "!" "Ah that's dangerous!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Stop it!" "It's a toy." "This isn't the time to be playing around!" "Are you serious..." "Not even my dad has tried to stab me before..." "We're at work right now." "What are you doing?" "Are you okay?" "Even if it was just a toy it probably still hurt didn't it." "Even a toy like that would hurt." "Something is wrong with you..." "According to police reports traces of Ishikawa-san's blood were found at the crime scenes." "Which means that the victims hurt him enough to injure him which means there's a high chance they fought." "In a situation like that wouldn't it be impossible to stab them just once through the heart?" "So he stabbed them before they injured him?" "If that's the case why were traces of Ishikawa-san's blood left behind?" "Now is not the time to be speculating about things!" "And that... play... you pulled just now wasn't needed either!" "Play?" "In order to prove Ishikawa-san's innocence we need to prove that he had an alibi." "I don't care if he was guilty or not I just want to know the truth." "Do you get it?" "This time not only do they have solid evidence but the person himself already signed the confession papers." "Finding an alibi for him is the best way for us to prove his innocence!" "But if we just do that we won't know what actually happened." "We don't need to know!" "Put the needs of the client before your own interests for once!" "We really don't see eye to eye." "Of course we don't." "The only thing I approve of when it comes to you are those dad jokes." "You approve of my dad jokes?" "I can't beat you..." "That's because yours are boring." "Hah?" "!" "Did you just say I was--I have funny ones too!" "I've never laughed once at them." "They're on the same level as yours!" "Those two are like Tom and Jerry... {\pos(43828)}[T/N:" "Fujino is referring to Tom and Jerry the cat and mouse.]" "You don't see me laughing at them." "You did!" "Or like Amura and Char."

"No that's completely different." "There are so many people." "It's like that thing my daughter's like "Where's Waldo"." "I'll find him first!" "It's a person wearing red and white right?" "That's Waldo." "We're looking for Ishikawa-san" "Ah!" "Waldo!" "Isn't that him?" "Who?" "You found Ishikawa-kun already?" "There at the bottom of the escalator!" "It's him!" "What time was it?" "9:25pm." "I did it!" "Do I get a prize?" "Wait." "If he was there at 9:35pm then tomorrow we can tell them there was no way he could've been at the murder location at the time of the murder." "Huh where's Miyama?" "Where did Miyama go?" "Miyama?" "Yes?" "Is Shimizu-san here?" "That would be me." "Could you tell me more about the case you wrote about in this article?" "Why is a lawyer coming here if they haven't even caught the culprit yet?" "Because I thought you would have more information." "Not for free." "I read your whole article." "If you hadn't done a thorough investigation you wouldn't have been able to write something like this." "If you have me around you can write an even better piece." "From what I heard from the police the cause of death was shock from blood loss." "They were stabbed between the third and fourth rib once in the heart." "This was an armed robbery right?" "Yeah but there's a few things about it that are fishy." "They robbed this place?" "Yeah." "If we walk just a bit further there's an upper-class residential area nearby but for some reason they came here." "Can we go inside?" "Sorry that it had to be this building." "You're here again?" "I'm still not letting you in no matter how much you come!" "She's the landlady." "Don't call me an old lady!" "I used to look like Saitou Yuki back in the day!" "{\pos(42830)}[T/N:" "Saitou Yuki is a famous Japanese singer]" "Saitou-san." "Are all the rooms in this apartment the same?" "Hello my name is Miyama." "I'm..." "Saitou." "But you can call me Yuki." "This room was like the other one." "Thank you." "If it was just you I'd never let you in." "It's just because Miyama-kun is so handsome." "Yeah I got it." "Shimizu-san where was the victim found?" "Yeah?" "Near the windows." "I see." "Like this?" "No the angle is wrong." "It was more like this." "I see." "They came in from the entrance but there was no evidence that they broke the lock to get in." "From the entrance?" "Let's assume that the robber pretended to be a guest so she would open the door for them." "When she realized it was a robbery she would've tried to run." "But if that were the case she should have been attacked from behind." "But she was stabbed in the heart from the front." "Maybe the culprit was someone she knew..." "Why?" "If this was a robbery then the victim would've tried to resist but if that was the case one stab to the heart would have been hard." "Maybe the murderer was an acquaintance and they made it look like a robbery after to cover things up." "That's an interesting way to see it." "His voice mail again..." "Honestly..." "Hello?" "Miyama?" "What are you doing right now?" "!" "Tomorrow are the pretrial arrangement proceedings!" "Call me back!" "You're scaring TT by yelling like that." "It's not TT it's Tokai Teio!" "Come here boy!" "You can't contact Miyama-kun?" "He's been gone for a week." "How nice to be so free." "He's not free he's completely uncontrollable!" "Tranquillo... {\pos(44248)}[T/N:" "This is a callback to episode xx and is catchphrase from Japan Pro Wrestler Tetsuya Naito which means "calm down" in Spanish.]" "Opinion from the defense?" "Yes." "In the evidence report it was stated that the murder took place on June 3rd between 9pm and 10pm at Kyosen Bridge but we would like to insist that the defendant had an alibi during that time." "We would like to submit a DVD containing footage recorded from a security camera at Chofu Central station as evidence." "The footage shows that during the time of the crime the defendant Ishikawa-san was at least 30km away." "It seems like we really shook them up." "Yeah looks like things will go well for us." "Thanks for your work." "Miyama!" "Where have you been this whole time?" "!" "Shizuoka." "Shizuoka?" "!" "Again?" "!" "What were you doing in Shizuoka?" "!" "Armed robbery in Shizuoka's Hamamatsu City." "What about it?" "These are photos of the apartment where the incident took place." "Even though there was a high class residential area nearby why did the culprit purposely pick this apartment?" "Why are you involving yourself in a case that has nothing to do with the current one we're..." "Also this." "The method of murder was exactly the same as the case with Ishikawa-san." "You went to Shizuoka just because of that?" "Judging from the crime scenes where this crime occurred there's a high chance it was made to look like a robbery." "Made to look like?" "Just like the two cases in Tokyo were made to look like assault..." "Listen we've already proved that Ishikawa-san had an alibi." "Even if you have an alibi it won't win over the evidence they have." "It's not above them to bend the truth in order to match whatever stories the prosecutors are trying to write." "On June 13th the day the murder in Shizuoka occurred Ishikawa-san was already placed under detention." "This means he absolutely could not have been the culprit." "If we can prove that all three cases were caused by the same person then we have absolute proof that Ishikawa-san was not the murderer." "You can make as many anologies as you want but..." "The most important thing here is to find out the truth." "The way things are now they will turn things around." "They always do." "Is the alibi for certain?" "Yes." "I'm sorry." "This won't help those poor victims who lost their lives completely unaware of what was happening." "Oi..." "Inaba." "Yes." "Marukawa you need to change the accounts." "The incident in Koto-ku didn't hapeen at 10pm but 12pm." "But there's other things besides his alibi that shows that Ishikawa didn't..." "The blood and hair were from him weren't they?" "Us prosecutors are only supposed to give out punishment." "We aren't the ones who do the judging." "If the court thinks you've made a mistake then they will decide as such." "In regards to the change in time when the crime occurred..." "We approve the change." "That's absolutely ridiculous." "You can't actually let something like this go through." "Marukawa." "Marukawa!" "Changing the time of the murder now?" "You can't believe this is okay." "It is my job to view things from an impartial and neutral standpoint." "You could be using your powers as a prosecutor to send an innocent man to his death!" "Sada-sensei." "Excuse me." "Miyama said something that implied he knew this would happen." "This case is very similar to what happened to his father." "His father was also able to find someone to prove he had an alibi and they testified in court." "But just like with this the prosecution changed the time of the murder." "They always do." "We have to win this trial no matter what." "Yes?" "You used some pretty underhanded tricks this time." "Are you fine with just having things move along to the story you wrote?" "Hey now stop with the accusations." "A man who might be innocent is having his life ruined at the moment." "And it was on your orders that your subordinate has done this to him." "In the case that Ishikawa is falsely charged with capital punishment it will be your subordinate who will have to live with that guilt on his shoulders." "It is our duty to bare the weight of what happens to the people we sentence." "If someone cannot handle that they shouldn't be working here." "Then you also have a duty to see this case out until the end." "That's fine with me." "Let's meet in the court rooms then." "Madarame." "Just forget about the past already." "We have no time." "Hello?" "I'm sorry for calling you so suddenly." "It's fine." "Now that the trials have begun I started to feel worried." "Here you go." "Thank you." "They wrote that he'll get the death penalty." "Truthfully that possibility is quite high at the moment." "Sensei can you prove that he was innocent?" "We don't know yet." "Ever since he moved out on his own he promised that once a month we would have a meal together." "Even though he looks like that he's actually a good cook." "Well it was just us two men so there wasn't really much to talk about but I really treasured those moments." "Sensei." "Please save my son." "Please." "Please!" "It just tastes normal..."

"In order to help Ishikawa-san the only thing we can do is find the real culprit." "In other words the only thing we can do is do what you always do."

"Wouldn't it have been better to make it look like Ishikawa-san had also did it?" "Why didn't they?" "Even if they wanted to they couldn't." "For example perhaps Ishikawa-san was arrested faster than they had anticipated." "Or Shizuoka was too far to make it look like Ishikawa had done it." "Or maybe there was a reason they didn't want the two cases in Tokyo and the one in Shizuoka to look similar." "Why were the three of them killed?" "Good question."

"And then she got divorced and had been living by herself since then." "Then 5 years ago she was hospitalized for stomach cancer but had a full recovery so she came back..." "Wait you said that 5 years ago she was hospitalized for stomach cancer?" "Yeah." "Wow you can actually read that?" "Although I shouldn't be judging others..." "Do you remember the name of the hospital?" "It was Tokyo's Sewa General Hospital." "Sewa?" "Within this year or the past year it can be anything but you do remember if there was anything else to note besides what you've already told us?" "When I went to get a physical I was diagnosed with stomach ulcers." "Not about physicals I'm asking about any possible connection you have with these three women." "I don't care about your physical!" "Really?" "You worked alongside Nakata-san as one of the staff for Takayama's election campaign right?" "Yeah Nakata-san was once hospitalized in Sewa General Hospital where Takayama had been the medical director." "She said she wanted to return the favour by working as his staff." "By the way where was she from?" "What?" "Akashi-kun is that important?" "Miyama would ask." "Let's do that after though." "When was she hospitalized?" "Um I feel like she said it was around 5 years ago." "Did you get along well with Nakata-san?" "I've even been to her home before." "It was such a spacious and beautiful apartment I couldn't believe she was living in there alone." "When I asked her what she normally did for work she said..." "It's a secret." "...and in the room there were a lot of documents related to Takayama." "So basically the connection between all three cases is that 5 years ago they were all hospitalized at the same time at Sewa General Hospital." "That's a pretty big connection." "Which means they could have all met at the hospital." "It'd be nice if we could get a copy of the patient list." "That's private information though so..." "Probably impossible." "Should we ask the prosecution if they can investigate this as controversial evidence?" "You're going to take this to the prosecutors?" "You're hoping for too much from them." "You won't know unless you try." "I'll take a look in to it." "Take a look now!" "We don't have much time left." "I have other things to take care of." "This isn't the only case I'm in charge of." "But this is your job." "Please leave." "Marukawa-san!" "Why did you become a prosecutor in the first place?" "I never had an interest in criminal law but the more I learn about it the more I want to help those in need." "I feel like that wish is what makes someone an attorney." "Prosecutors use all their knowledge to dig out the truth but they've lost that core desire." "Please." "Help us." "Leave." "Have you ever had your card thrown away before?" "Excuse me?" "I have." "Many times." "I struggled a lot with being unnoticed in such a male-dominated field but in the end I'm still continuing as a lawyer." "But even though you're a man and have it so much easier you're still fine with using such underhanded methods?" "It's unbelievable." "Even if you're a lawyer releasing the patient list would be a bit difficult..." "Of course." "I understand I'll be back." "You'll be back?" "I won't be appearing as much here but please keep working hard." "Thank you." "What's wrong Tachibana you look mad." "That's not the case." "Perhaps it's time for Shiga-sensei and I to appear?" "If you have trouble with anything we can help at any time." "Hunter chance!" "Shiga-sensei hunter chance!" "Tachibana-sensei someone dropped off an item for you saying it was something you had left behind." "From who?" "I asked but they left right away." "They had a lot of hair." "Thank you!" "I'm only going to say this once..." "Thank you!" "You actually got your hands on it?" "You've become really dependable lately!" "From the patient list from 5 years ago it shows that the three of them shared the same room." "And also..." "So all three of them in the same room were killed?" "Yes." "And there was probably something that happened that only the three of them knew about." "Yes." "But they were killed." "AND SO!" "It was actually a four person room so there was one more person." "Four people..." "You should've said that first!" "I'm sorry but..." "Why didn't you say that in the beginning?" "What is she doing right now?" "I don't know." "They had her work address so I asked Shiga-sensei to look in to it." "Shiga?" "What page was it on." "Page three." "Three?" "Number 315." "The woman is alive!" "Looks like you did need my help after all." "So where is she right now?" "I confirmed this with her company but the fourth patient Katou Kaoru was transferred overseas for a year." "Overseas?" "Where?" "New York." "If she's in New York then they won't be able to kill her." "But it seems she will be coming back next Monday." "Go pick her up at the airport when she arrives!" "If the culprit knows she's coming back then he might be waiting there to kill her!" "We're a lot weaker than we look you know..." "No one else is free go!" "I can't even do a single sit-up" "Liar." "Sometimes I can't even open a plastic bottle..." "If there is a man you need to rely on I can be of service." "By the way I have a rank 2-kyu in karate am a first degree black belt in judo as well am ranked 4th kyu in Jeet Kun Do." "I have no idea what you just said but I'll leave it to you." "Leave it to me let's go." "Not yet on Monday." "Were you even listening?" "What is Jeet Kun Do?" "This is heavy..." "Oh... yeah... sorry." "I'll carry it for you." "Oh... yeah... hottie." "We brought her." "Sorry for calling you here right after your arrival." "Oh... yeah... it's fine." "Please take a seat." "Oh... yeah... okay." "The three of them were k-...killed?" "Was there something that only those of you sharing a room knew about?" "Oh... yeah... the doctor in charge of us touched Nakata-san inappropriately during a check-up." "They touched her inappropriately?" "Oh... yeah... yeah." "We heard a scream and when we opened the curtain..." "What's wrong?" "The doctor tried to feel me up." "Eh?" "Nakata-san wouldn't let it go and tried to press charges against him." "I'm planning to press charges against him." "At the time she also asked us for our contact information so she could get eye-witness reports." "Oh... okay." "Your contact information?" "Yeah." "What happened to that incident?" "Oh... yeah... she didn't want it to become a big incident so in the end they settled it privately instead." "What was the name of the doctor taking care of you at the time?" "Oh... yeah... it was Takayama." "This was a misunderstanding I was just checking for something." "Prefectural candidate Takayama Kosuke." "Here is your schedule for the remainder of the day." "At 11am you will have a meeting..." "Why did Nakata-san work as a staff for Takayama's election campaign?" "If I was her I'd never forgive him." "Also how did Takayama-san get samples of Ishikawa-san's blood and hair?" "Three months ago Ishikawa-san went to get a physical." "He never mentioned that to me before." "It's thanks to my skill in asking questions." "Was it at Sewa General Hospital?" "The hospital?" "Wait." "It's not written here." "Tachibana?" "Maybe I didn't hear it..." "Didn't hear it?" "You said it wasn't important." "Me?" "Yes." "I said that?" "But a check-up..." "All thanks to your skill in asking questions right?" "Shut it!" "I'll go and ask him again." "A woman in her 30s... her appearance?" "She had small eyes." "Small eyes." "Was a bit plump side." "Plump." "Her head was like a mushroom." "A mushroom?" "Yes like a mushroom." "How small were her eyes like this?" "Like this." "Like that?" "Yeah." "That's too much." "Just a bit more." "Yeah." "That." "Setoguchi-san you're next." "Not chubby enough..." "Ito-san you're up." "Her eyes's aren't small." "Everyone is really thin..." "Yes?" "Plump." "Small eyes." "...Not a mushroom." "What do you want?" "I'm going to call security!" "Hello." "You're a lawyer?" "Yes." "My client said he came here three months ago to get a blood test for a physical." "I'm looking for the nurse who took the sample." "She was plump had small eyes and her head was like a mushroom." "You're talking about Kawai-san." "Kawai-san!" "Yes?" "What's up boss?" "He's a lawyer." "Kawai-san." "Plump small eyes a mushroom..." "Bananaman?" "{\pos(43222)}[T/N:" "Miyama is referring to Himura who is part of the comedy duo Bananaman.]" "Do you always take three samples?" "Yes." "I see." "And you store them properly?" "Of course." "What are you...?" "Some of them have gone missing before haven't they?" "Who knows..." "If not you would've just said no." "Three months ago you saw someone steal a sample didn't you?" "How did you know?" "I said it....!" "It was the medical director." "The medical director stole them?" "I said it..." "Do you remember whose blood samples he took?" "The sample from a man named Ishikawa Yoichi." "Can you believe...?" "The bandages are banding together!"

"{\pos(43044)}[T/N:" "Miyama is playing on the English word "what time" which is pronounced as "howatto taimu" in Japanese or in this case "houttaimu" which sounds like "houtai" = bandage.]" "Stop it!" "I would like to thank everyone for their incredible support in the past prefectural elections." "Thank you very much." "He is really popular." "It's their one time to meet the splendid new governor." "Miyama don't think you can just walk up to him." "Okay." "What are you doing?" "Will he be okay?" "Ah he's getting closer." "W-What are you..?" "!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine." "I'm from Madarame Law Firms." "My name is Sada." "Wait outside." "I don't have much time before my next appointment." "I'll give you 5 minutes." "Okay 5 minutes." "Nakata Mari who was killed recently was one of the staff in your election campaign correct?" "She was a very dedicated staff member." "Did you also know the next person who was murdered Oka Yumiko?" "No I don't." "Really?" "Is that so?" "Then do you know this person?" "Three weeks ago on June 13 she was killed during a robbery in Hamamatsu." "Watanabe Miho-san." "I don't recognize her." "Really?" "These three women had actually all shared a hospital room 5 years ago." "This was at Sewa General Hospital where you were the medical director." "I'm not going to remember something from 5 years ago!" "True but something happened in this room that you couldn't forget even if you wanted to." "Under the guise of checking up on her you sexually assaulted Nakata-san." "Things were settled privately but the rest of the patients in the room also knew what had happened" "Do you have proof of this?" "We actually have someone who can provide a testimony regarding this event." "Please come in." "What happened?" "It's the fourth person who was in the room Katou Kaoru-san." "Oh... yeah... hello." "This is in regards to Nakata-san but after settling this with you 5 years ago she found out you were running for governor and volunteered to help in your campaign to get close to you and then asked you for money in order to not have what happened in the past exposed." "What do you think will happen if the public finds out about this?" "It doesn't just have to be me the others in the room Watanabe-san and Katou-san can also testify to what happened." "If things stayed as they were she could've continued blackmailing your for the rest of your life." "Realizing this you murdered Nakata-san." "Then in order to keep things sealed you planned to kill the other patients who had been in the room as well." "Don't be ridiculous!" "This is a proof of an article from Weekly Down that will be released the day after tomorrow." "It talks about your sexual assault case with Nakata-san how it was settled and also how you killed her and the other two patients who had also shared the room." "By the way Katou-san is right over there." "Katou-san would you like to bring this up to the police?" "Do you have any proof that I killed them?" "They found traces of Ishikawa-san's hair and blood at the murder spots didn't they?" "You sure know a lot about this." "But there was someone who was able to get their hands on Ishikawa-san's hair and blood." "It was the person who was in charge of his physical exam..." "You." "From our investigations during Ishikawa-san's physical they took three samples of his blood one of which went missing." "The person who stole that was you wasn't it?" "Can you prove it?" "I can." "There was a nurse who saw you steal the blood sample." "It was the medical director!" "She has already provided a testimony." "Looks like the 5min aren't even up yet." "Should I keep going?" "The final hearing is coming up soon." "It is." "But the thing about trials is you never know the outcome until the very end." "Very true." "I was never able to help Daisuke." "To make up for losing your father I may have unwillingly forced myself into your life." "At the very least I felt like my role was to watch over you." "Why did you let me in to this firm?" "Half of it was your skill as a lawyer." "The other half... what could it have been?" "Is that your answer for the other half of my question?" "Why do you scratch your eyebrows with your pinky?" "It's a habit." "Oh right." "The way you touch your ears like this and this." "Is it to improve your circulation?" "What about my ears?" "Ah it's just a habit." "Huh?" "I touch my ears?" "It's fine it's nothing." "Would the defense like to give their final statement?" "I have nothing more to a..." "I would." "After finding the real culprit and having him confess to his crimes it has become clear that Ishikawa-san was innocent." "That's why I have nothing more to say to you in regards to this case." "I already told you I didn't do it!" "Just stop it already!" "But even if Ishikawa-san is deemed innocent he will never be able to return to his former life." "His once peaceful days..." "His happiness..." "The time he's lost..." "He'll never be able to get any of these things back." "Mistakenly being prosecuted and arrested greatly affects a persons life." "This current case was a miscarriage of justice--one of the biggest offenses in the world of criminal law." "A miscarriage of justice affects the lives of many." "The defendant and his family may begin to resent those who were left unpunished." "A person who has been told one day that they were the perpetrator to a crime they have no memory of committing will carry their anger and fear with them forever unable to release it unable to return to their normal life." "And their family now the family members of a criminal will be left to face the scorn of the public." "Japan's rate of conviction in criminal cases is 99.9%." "Why is it such a high number?" "That would be because no one will doubt the prosecutors who carry the power of the state and the accuracy of the contents they have provided to carry out a prosecution." "But are they really correct?" "We cannot look over the actual truth which may still be hidden." "I'd like to ask everyone here." "Look with your own eyes." "Listen with your own ears." "And think." "Find your own answer." "There is ever only one actual truth." "The defense rests its case." "Then we will announce the ruling." "The defendant is..." "Innocent." "Marukawa-san." "Thank you." "For what?" "Marukawa." "There's only one real truth." "Let's meet again in the court room." "Excuse me." "You did it didn't you?" "How many times do I need to say it that I didn't!" "We found an umbrella with your fingerprints as proof from the crime scene." "Why are you smiling?" "No I just realized you have a very distinct face." "If we hadn't found the truth and caught the real culprit Ishikawa-san might have been killed because of you." "As prosecutors it is simply our jobs to prove the defendant was guilty." "If he was deemed guilty due to our work that would be a decision made by the judge." "It's unfortunate that you believe we would be responsible for their deaths." "But the ones who make the judges bias towards guilty rulings are you." "You're mistaken." "We cannot forgive the person who was responsible for committing the crime on the victim." "Our mission is to enact justice within society." "When it comes to things like justice and truth 100 people will say 100 different things about it." "But I disagree with that." "One day my father was taken away by people like you." "From that day onwards everything changed." "How many lives are you planning to ruin with your warped form of justice?" "Those who have been falsely accused were also victims of a crime." "...and I will continue acting as a lawyer to help those people." "If you continue to believe in your form of justice then I will continue standing before you believing in only the truth." "I am the head district prosecutor Inaba." "I offer my deepest apologies to Ishikawa-san for mistakenly arresting him and inflicting him with many hardships despite having been innocent.."
