Over here!

Wait for me!

Doppel Ranger Kick!

Mua ha ha ha!

Hey, that's not fair!

You got kicked, so fall down!

An evil empire plotting world domination

won't be defeated that easily.

It's always defeated at the end of TV shows.

How is world domination going?

Oh, Johan.

This guy just won't go down.

But once you conquer the world, you'll have a lot of work to do after.

What kind of world will you build?

That's not my problem.

I'll just make a mess and that's it.

What?

If you're gonna make a mess, that sounds a lot more fun.

I'm gonna quit being a Rainbow Ranger and join an evil organization too.

-Yay! -Wait for me!

Now, let's all head back.

Okay.

Right, we're leaving now.

Don't forget anything.

-Okay. -Okay.

-This way. -Sure.

It's gotten pretty hot, hasn't it?

It has.

How's Rosemary?

Did she catch a cold this winter?

Yes, she was running around outside with her friends.

She'd have such a terrible fever every year.

Right, it was right around this time.

We rushed to a doctor in the middle of the night, right?

You walk around with an album of her photos?

Yeah, I bet she's grown a lot.

She's still growing. I wonder if her face has changed in this short time.

But you know, I'm confident

that no matter how much she grows, I'll recognize her right away.

Oh, right.

When the time comes, show her this.

These are newspaper clippings and copies of reports

from when I shot and killed that young serial killer.

I won't ask you to try and defend me.

It's true that I killed someone.

I'm not trying to justify it.

But I want that child to know the truth.

I understand.

I wonder when I can meet her.

I'll try to ask her again

to see if she wants to meet you or not.

What?

You will?

I'll be waiting.

I'm home from work by 9:00 p.m. every night.

Richard, you've recovered a lot.

What?

You're just like when you were starting out as young police detective.

Your eyes are how they were when we first met.

Is that so?

How does that sound?

OFFENBACH, HESSEN

We can offer some perks if you sign with us now.

Well, we've already enrolled with another insurance company.

Can't you please reconsider, Mr. Liebert?

We are satisfied with our current insurance.

And we don't have the luxury of paying more for insurance.

We just enrolled recently when we moved here four years ago.

Four years ago?

Where did you move from?

We lived in Brunnthal, near Mannheim.

Brunnthal, was it?

That's a nice place.

Was that your hometown?

Yes, I lived there my whole life until moving here.

By the way, ma'am, do you have any kids?

Oh, our son is currently attending a college in Munich.

He's a college student?

In that case, I have the perfect insurance for young people.

Please, just hear me out.

What? Well…

This is your son?

He's so cute.

What's his name?

His name is Johan.

Would you like tea?

Oh, please don't mind me.

Ever since he went to college in Munich,

we only get the occasional phone call from him.

That's just how boys are.

Boring, isn't it?

I paid them a visit, Dr. Reichwein.

Yes, I went to Johan's house.

Yes, it was an extremely normal home with nothing out of the ordinary.

I see.

Well, what do you think, Richard?

Well, based on my way of thinking from my detective days,

nothing is more suspicious than when everything seems normal.

I see.

In any case, I'll try looking into Johan's surroundings.

I just know there's something there.

At his preparatory school, Johan had

everything from superior grades to great moral conduct.

But you know, I'm confident

that no matter how much she grows,

I'll recognize her right away.

I can't imagine that baby's face growing up to look like Johan.

BRUNNTHAL TOWN HALL

Here is the birth certificate.

Great, thank you.

Johan Wilhelm Liebert.

Born on February 9, 1976.

He was definitely born in this town.

There's nothing out of the ordinary.

Mr. Hertz!

What?

How many times must I tell you?

No smoking in the town hall.

Don't be so harsh. Give me an ashtray.

No.

There was a fire here four years ago, remember?

The paperwork all burned and caused a lot of trouble.

Did you redo all the paperwork when that happened?

Yes, we redid the paperwork by having individuals fill them out.

But we're a small town, so that was enough to get back to normal.

Hi, thanks for coming, Dr. Gillen.

It's been a while, Dr. Reichwein.

Dr. Tenma came to you and was looking for a man named Johan?

Yes.

There was no proof for what he was saying.

But if this person is the friend who inspired Peter Jürgens,

the serial killer who I am currently researching,

then we'll have found a breakthrough in this series of cases.

I'm counting on you, Dr. Gillen.

Okay, I'll get permission to interview Jürgens as soon as possible.

I'll show him this photo,

and based on his reaction, we can prove Dr. Tenma's innocence.

He died?

Yes.

The real Johan Liebert born in Brunnthal died when he was two years old.

So, the Liebert couple took advantage of the fire that burned the town hall records

and refiled the papers with the stand-in

to make it look as if their dead son were alive?

-I believe so. -In that case,

what about the person currently living as Johan Liebert?

Who in the world is he?

Anyway, as I said before,

I gave Johan's photo to Dr. Gillen.

Let's hope an answer comes out from that.

How about we get dinner?

No, I have to get back.

Come on, you still have work after running around all day?

No, I may be getting a phone call.

I might be able to see my daughter again.

Oh, really?

It'll be fine.

What's important is to move forward, right?

Hm?

Alright, you've made a full recovery.

Yes, hello?

Dad? It's me.

Rosemary.

Yeah, I'm doing well.

Yeah.

Yeah, of course we can meet.

We can meet… anytime.

Richard, it's Johan.

Jürgens, have you ever seen this young man?

Have you met him somewhere before?

I don't know him.

Regarding your friend, Johan,

you said he'd only send letters and that you never met in person, right?

But Johan knew you very well.

Can I borrow a pen?

What? Oh.

Sorry, but I'm not allowed to hand you anything.

I want a pen.

The park.

What?

The park.

The day after I killed someone.

"I'm going to stop. I'll call it quits here."

That's what I thought as I went to the park.

He had many kids with him.

Hold on, I forgot to turn on the tape recorder.

Can you start over?

You should come too.

What?

You should come too…

You should come too…

You should…

What do you want?

We met at Mr. Schuwald's home, yes?

I'm Johan Liebert.

I called many times, but you didn't pick up.

So I came in person.

Hello?

Well, if it isn't Dr. Gillen.

How did it go after you showed Jürgens the photo?

He died?

Yes, just now at the hospital.

I'm tied up here because of the police investigation.

All because I carelessly handed him a pen,

an important witness ended up dead.

But Dr. Reichwein, there is no doubt that his suicide

was a reaction to Johan's photo.

I'll rush over as soon as the investigation is over.

Okay, I'll contact Richard right away.

Richard…

A college report?

Yes, I'm researching the Convention on the Rights of the Child

established by the U.N. in 1989.

Would you like a drink, Richard?

No, I'm fine.

It seems you don't drink alcohol anymore.

That makes sense,

since you executed that young man while under the influence of alcohol.

Am I wrong?

Right, although I was under the influence,

I still did something unforgivable.

That's what I want to ask you about.

The young man you killed was Stephen Joos, 17 years old.

What kind of crime did he commit?

Young man, huh?

That young man committed heinous crimes at the age of 17.

Nine were raped and murdered.

Two failed murders.

-So you executed him? -I didn't execute him.

Oh, my apologies.

By the way, in Article 40 of the convention,

a child is "to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law."

Did you know that?

Yeah, I worked in the juvenile division before.

I see. Then there's Article 37.

"Neither capital punishment nor life imprisonment shall be imposed

for offences committed by persons below 18 years of age."

Were you aware?

Most of the convention

is made up of basic human rights given to both children and adults in this country.

When I killed him, it wasn't an execution.

It was a drunken mistake.

I did something that can never be taken back.

I'm even being punished societally--

Please, hold on a moment.

I wanted to meet you to write a report for college.

I apologize if I've offended you.

Shall we take a walk for some fresh air?

Can I have this whiskey?

The wind at night is still chilly.

Oh, Dr. Gillen.

I still can't get a hold of Richard.

He said he might get to meet his daughter,

but I doubt he'd meet her this late at night.

When you get a hold of him, tell him to act carefully.

I'm headed your way right now.

Do you know Stephan Joos's history?

I believe he lived at an orphanage in East Berlin when he was young.

You'll need to know more than that.

What?

That's a key point when talking about him.

The orphanage he lived in was a horrible place.

He was truly a good kid.

But imagine the terrible things he must've faced at the orphanage

and how badly his mental state must have been mangled.

Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 6.

"The right to life" and "the survival and development of the child."

Article 8, "preserving his or her identity."

Article 19, "protection from physical or mental violence."

Such things were futile there.

That place was like a nightmare.

The place called Kinderheim 511.

Will you get to meet your daughter?

How do you…

How do you know that?

Was the person you were on the phone with earlier your daughter?

Will you meet her sometime tomorrow?

What is your objective?

To write my college report.

Not that.

The objective of being with Schuwald.

Who…

Who are you?!

You said you were intoxicated and shot the young man, correct?

Answer my question first.

On that day, it's true that after you killed the young man,

you were seen drinking at a bar.

But it's strange.

From what I've found,

not a single person saw you drinking before you killed that young man.

When you shot that young man,

you hadn't had any alcohol, had you?

What?

You were sober.

Your mind was clear.

You decided to execute him and pulled the trigger with a clear mind.

Am I wrong?

You're wrong!

Why are you trying to forget?

Or are you telling lies?

Are you lying to others?

Or are you lying to yourself?

Did you confirm his crimes?

Did you have the right to execute him?

Do you think you can make your sins disappear by lying?

What a serious crime.

Is someone who committed such a serious crime

going to meet his daughter, acting like he made a full recovery?

How about it?

Would you like a drink?

Gillen? Is it you, Dr. Gillen?

It's the police.

Your patient, Richard Braun,

has died.
