1
00:01:36,993 --> 00:01:43,875
THE THIRD MURDER
2
00:02:28,252 --> 00:02:29,504
Let me see it.
3
00:02:29,629 --> 00:02:31,381
What?
4
00:02:31,506 --> 00:02:32,924
Here.
5
00:03:01,828 --> 00:03:05,665
A second charge of murder
and burglary is really serious.
6
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:07,417
But he confessed?
7
00:03:07,542 --> 00:03:10,086
Yeah, right after he was arrested.
8
00:03:10,211 --> 00:03:12,755
Then he'll get the death penalty,
no question.
9
00:03:13,631 --> 00:03:15,758
That's why I asked for your help.
10
00:03:15,883 --> 00:03:19,387
I wish you'd asked me
before he was indicted.
11
00:03:19,512 --> 00:03:23,766
Well, at first I thought
I could manage it on my own.
12
00:03:23,891 --> 00:03:26,811
But he changes his story
every time I see him.
13
00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:40,324
Sorry to keep you waiting.
14
00:03:41,284 --> 00:03:43,119
So many of you today.
15
00:03:44,328 --> 00:03:46,706
I'm glad it didn't rain.
16
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:50,752
Listen,
17
00:03:50,877 --> 00:03:54,881
this is Shigemori, the lawyer
I told you about before.
18
00:03:55,006 --> 00:03:57,967
That judge from thirty years ago...
19
00:03:59,677 --> 00:04:01,095
His son...
20
00:04:02,221 --> 00:04:03,848
I'm Shigemori.
21
00:04:04,974 --> 00:04:06,517
I'm Misumi.
22
00:04:07,727 --> 00:04:10,480
Your father was good to me.
23
00:04:12,231 --> 00:04:14,275
I asked you the other day,
24
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,987
there's no question
you killed him, right?
25
00:04:18,738 --> 00:04:20,531
No question.
26
00:04:20,656 --> 00:04:22,408
You killed him?
27
00:04:22,533 --> 00:04:24,494
Yes, I killed him.
28
00:04:25,787 --> 00:04:28,289
Why did you kill him?
29
00:04:29,123 --> 00:04:31,501
He owned the factory
where you worked.
30
00:04:31,626 --> 00:04:32,835
Your motive...
31
00:04:33,753 --> 00:04:36,172
I wanted money to gamble with.
32
00:04:37,465 --> 00:04:40,635
Were you in trouble?
Did you have debts?
33
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,928
Yes.
34
00:04:42,637 --> 00:04:46,474
I'd borrowed some money
I couldn't pay back.
35
00:04:50,102 --> 00:04:51,687
When did you quit?
36
00:04:51,813 --> 00:04:53,856
September 30th.
37
00:04:53,981 --> 00:04:55,650
- Fired?
- Yes.
38
00:04:55,775 --> 00:04:57,944
Why were you fired?
39
00:04:58,069 --> 00:05:00,446
I stole money from the safe.
40
00:05:01,239 --> 00:05:04,450
Had you been drinking alcohol that day?
41
00:05:05,368 --> 00:05:09,747
Yes, three glasses of shochu.
42
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,293
Did you decide to kill him
before you started drinking?
43
00:05:15,336 --> 00:05:18,923
Or did you get enraged
while you were drinking?
44
00:05:22,635 --> 00:05:25,346
I got enraged while I was drinking.
45
00:05:25,471 --> 00:05:27,139
What?
46
00:05:27,265 --> 00:05:29,308
Last time I asked you,
47
00:05:29,433 --> 00:05:33,354
didn't you say, "I'd been thinking
about killing him all along"?
48
00:05:38,276 --> 00:05:40,069
Oh, did I?
49
00:05:42,029 --> 00:05:44,699
You hit him with a wrench,
from behind, right?
50
00:05:44,824 --> 00:05:46,158
Yes.
51
00:05:46,284 --> 00:05:48,828
Did you check that he was dead?
52
00:05:48,953 --> 00:05:52,665
Yes, he'd stopped breathing.
53
00:05:54,834 --> 00:05:57,879
Your hand. Did you burn it?
54
00:05:58,004 --> 00:05:59,422
Yes.
55
00:06:00,715 --> 00:06:02,133
When I burned him.
56
00:06:02,258 --> 00:06:04,218
Where'd you get the petrol?
57
00:06:04,343 --> 00:06:06,804
I went back to the factory warehouse
to get it.
58
00:06:06,929 --> 00:06:08,598
That far away?
59
00:06:08,723 --> 00:06:10,975
If I ran, it was less than 10 minutes.
60
00:06:13,895 --> 00:06:18,065
But you didn't take the petrol
with you from the start?
61
00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:19,525
No.
62
00:06:20,526 --> 00:06:21,819
Note that.
63
00:06:22,737 --> 00:06:28,242
Remember, I asked you
to write a letter to the victim's family?
64
00:06:28,367 --> 00:06:29,827
Yes.
65
00:06:31,078 --> 00:06:34,373
I'll take it with me.
Hand it over later.
66
00:06:34,498 --> 00:06:35,875
Yes.
67
00:06:47,219 --> 00:06:50,097
Will the prosecutor demand
the death penalty?
68
00:06:50,222 --> 00:06:51,807
Probably.
69
00:06:51,933 --> 00:06:55,561
He's stuck with murder and burglary.
70
00:06:56,354 --> 00:06:58,564
We have to get that charge reduced.
71
00:06:58,689 --> 00:07:03,402
And dispute the facts, because
we don't have a case with that charge.
72
00:07:07,198 --> 00:07:09,617
- Hey, Settsu.
- What?
73
00:07:10,242 --> 00:07:14,205
Misumi himself wants
the charges reduced, right?
74
00:07:15,122 --> 00:07:17,416
That's right. Why?
75
00:07:18,167 --> 00:07:20,294
He didn't seem that way to me.
76
00:07:21,462 --> 00:07:26,759
For me, I'll be happy
if we can reduce it to life in prison.
77
00:07:28,219 --> 00:07:29,845
Any family?
78
00:07:29,971 --> 00:07:32,723
- He's got a daughter.
- Her age?
79
00:07:32,848 --> 00:07:35,685
The daughter? She's 36.
80
00:07:37,144 --> 00:07:39,772
Shall we go meet her?
She's in Rumoi, Hokkaido.
81
00:07:39,897 --> 00:07:44,276
So far away.
It's so cold up there.
82
00:07:44,402 --> 00:07:47,822
I doubt she saw her father much.
83
00:07:47,947 --> 00:07:50,741
No, he was in prison for 30 years.
84
00:07:51,951 --> 00:07:54,912
I doubt she'd say much
to support his case.
85
00:07:55,037 --> 00:07:57,248
The crab is tasty up there now.
86
00:07:57,373 --> 00:07:58,374
Oh, thanks.
87
00:07:59,166 --> 00:08:03,629
Rumoi is famous for octopus,
not crab.
88
00:08:03,754 --> 00:08:05,172
Oh, just octopus.
89
00:08:05,297 --> 00:08:07,133
Don't make fun of octopus.
90
00:08:07,925 --> 00:08:10,678
- Spoken like a Hokkaido native.
- That's right.
91
00:08:13,347 --> 00:08:15,725
No barbecued meat for a while.
92
00:08:17,143 --> 00:08:21,731
Fly as far as Asahikawa,
and then take the train.
93
00:08:21,856 --> 00:08:24,233
Are travel expenses reimbursed?
94
00:08:24,859 --> 00:08:28,863
To interview a character witness?
No, no way.
95
00:08:31,157 --> 00:08:33,075
Let's not bother, then.
96
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,995
Yeah, it's cold up there.
97
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,371
And there's only octopus.
98
00:08:37,496 --> 00:08:41,625
But it's better to go,
in order to understand Misumi.
99
00:08:41,751 --> 00:08:43,252
- Understand?
- Yes.
100
00:08:43,377 --> 00:08:46,672
You don't need understanding
or empathy to defend a client.
101
00:08:46,797 --> 00:08:47,923
Is that true?
102
00:08:48,049 --> 00:08:51,052
Of course it is.
You're not going to become friends.
103
00:09:52,321 --> 00:09:54,156
Is she involved in the case?
104
00:09:54,281 --> 00:09:57,618
Well, probably.
105
00:10:03,457 --> 00:10:06,460
I feel like I can still smell the petrol.
106
00:10:06,585 --> 00:10:07,920
Yeah.
107
00:10:15,386 --> 00:10:17,221
Is this...
108
00:10:19,682 --> 00:10:21,559
...a coincidence?
109
00:11:00,222 --> 00:11:02,683
Chofu Station, please.
110
00:11:02,808 --> 00:11:06,645
I knew something was wrong with him.
111
00:11:06,770 --> 00:11:09,565
It looked like his hand was burned.
112
00:11:11,817 --> 00:11:13,027
Stop.
113
00:11:14,820 --> 00:11:16,572
Please rewind it a little.
114
00:11:18,824 --> 00:11:20,075
Right there.
115
00:11:23,412 --> 00:11:26,290
Why did he open the window?
116
00:11:27,166 --> 00:11:29,126
- The window?
- Yes.
117
00:11:30,294 --> 00:11:32,213
Did something stink?
118
00:11:33,631 --> 00:11:35,341
Well, I recall...
119
00:11:35,966 --> 00:11:38,177
it smelled like petrol.
120
00:11:38,844 --> 00:11:40,179
Petrol.
121
00:11:41,472 --> 00:11:45,851
Was it the wallet that smelled?
The one he took out of his pocket?
122
00:11:46,977 --> 00:11:48,187
Oh...
123
00:11:49,313 --> 00:11:50,981
Probably.
124
00:11:51,106 --> 00:11:52,316
Right?
125
00:11:59,531 --> 00:12:01,450
- Yes?
- Here.
126
00:12:01,575 --> 00:12:02,868
Yes.
127
00:12:04,578 --> 00:12:08,207
He's already confessed,
so why go through all this?
128
00:12:08,332 --> 00:12:09,875
Yes, yes.
129
00:12:11,252 --> 00:12:13,462
Leave it in the bag.
130
00:12:13,587 --> 00:12:15,047
Oh, right.
131
00:12:17,091 --> 00:12:20,552
Petrol stains, right?
132
00:12:20,678 --> 00:12:23,264
- Did you already have it tested?
- Yes.
133
00:12:23,389 --> 00:12:25,349
It is definitely petrol.
134
00:12:25,975 --> 00:12:27,685
Which could mean
135
00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:31,814
he decided to steal it
after he poured petrol over him.
136
00:12:33,315 --> 00:12:35,150
Which would mean
137
00:12:35,276 --> 00:12:38,862
it's not murder and burglary
but murder and theft.
138
00:12:41,115 --> 00:12:43,450
You contest the charge
with a petrol stain?
139
00:12:44,243 --> 00:12:46,412
It's plenty of proof to contest it.
140
00:12:53,335 --> 00:12:57,840
If only he hadn't confessed,
we could aggressively attack their position.
141
00:12:57,965 --> 00:13:00,467
I wish we'd been involved
in this case from the start.
142
00:13:00,592 --> 00:13:03,512
For now, let's take his letter,
visit the factory,
143
00:13:03,637 --> 00:13:06,181
and comfort the bereaved family.
144
00:13:06,307 --> 00:13:09,310
I'll buy the regular family gift.
145
00:13:09,435 --> 00:13:12,521
Thanks.
And about his motive...
146
00:13:12,646 --> 00:13:16,692
Ask his co-workers if he had
a grudge against his boss.
147
00:13:17,609 --> 00:13:19,320
Yes, I will.
148
00:13:20,446 --> 00:13:24,491
Settsu dumped the whole case onto us.
149
00:13:29,955 --> 00:13:31,248
Yes.
150
00:13:36,253 --> 00:13:37,629
Hello.
151
00:13:37,755 --> 00:13:38,797
Oh...
152
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:44,136
I'm Shigemori. I'm a lawyer.
153
00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:47,056
I'm defending Takashi Misumi.
154
00:13:48,432 --> 00:13:52,186
I came to deliver a letter
he wrote to your family.
155
00:13:54,688 --> 00:13:56,732
I'll go get my mother.
156
00:13:57,858 --> 00:13:59,068
Thank you.
157
00:14:04,990 --> 00:14:06,533
Excuse me.
158
00:14:28,972 --> 00:14:31,016
I'm Shigemori.
159
00:14:34,978 --> 00:14:38,690
I'm so sorry for your loss.
160
00:14:52,162 --> 00:14:55,749
You want me to forgive him
because he wrote this letter?
161
00:14:58,961 --> 00:15:00,838
We...
162
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:06,218
A member of our family was murdered,
163
00:15:08,595 --> 00:15:10,597
and then his body was burned.
164
00:15:12,224 --> 00:15:14,101
Even at his funeral...
165
00:15:16,812 --> 00:15:18,021
none of us...
166
00:15:19,148 --> 00:15:21,859
could even see him to say farewell.
167
00:15:21,984 --> 00:15:23,485
Mother.
168
00:15:25,112 --> 00:15:28,365
He genuinely regrets what he did.
169
00:15:29,283 --> 00:15:30,659
I am so very sorry.
170
00:15:39,626 --> 00:15:44,173
Do you think Misumi hated your boss?
171
00:15:44,798 --> 00:15:47,968
He was probably grateful
for giving him a job.
172
00:15:48,093 --> 00:15:49,344
I see...
173
00:15:50,304 --> 00:15:53,015
Did you ever see them argue?
174
00:15:53,140 --> 00:15:58,187
He was always complaining to him
about how little he paid.
175
00:16:01,148 --> 00:16:03,525
Did you screw up again, Sakurai?
176
00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:07,863
No, you idiot!
He's a lawyer, not a cop.
177
00:16:10,282 --> 00:16:12,326
Did you know
Misumi had a criminal record?
178
00:16:12,993 --> 00:16:14,328
I knew that.
179
00:16:14,953 --> 00:16:17,039
A lot of guys here have records.
180
00:16:17,164 --> 00:16:19,541
Actually, I have one, too.
181
00:16:19,666 --> 00:16:20,918
Oh.
182
00:16:23,378 --> 00:16:26,507
You want to know what I did?
183
00:16:26,632 --> 00:16:27,883
No.
184
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,969
Your boss was a good man.
185
00:16:31,094 --> 00:16:33,472
He hired us because we're cheap.
186
00:16:33,597 --> 00:16:35,849
You can't fight back
if you have a weakness.
187
00:16:35,974 --> 00:16:37,893
Oh, I see.
188
00:16:39,019 --> 00:16:40,646
Thank you very much.
189
00:16:44,358 --> 00:16:45,817
How did it go?
190
00:16:48,612 --> 00:16:51,865
Oh, that bad.
191
00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:53,700
They didn't have to...
192
00:16:53,825 --> 00:16:58,664
These days, victims think
they can get away with anything.
193
00:17:01,375 --> 00:17:04,211
"Why are you covering up for him?"
194
00:17:04,336 --> 00:17:06,630
That's what we do.
195
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,426
So, what's our strategy?
196
00:17:14,012 --> 00:17:17,599
We dispute his intent to steal.
197
00:17:17,724 --> 00:17:21,645
And reduce murder and burglary
to murder and theft.
198
00:17:22,854 --> 00:17:24,982
He didn't kill him to steal,
199
00:17:25,107 --> 00:17:28,986
he set fire to him after killing him
and then decided to steal.
200
00:17:29,111 --> 00:17:31,613
He even went all the way back
201
00:17:31,738 --> 00:17:34,783
to the factory to get the petrol,
after he killed him.
202
00:17:35,284 --> 00:17:37,119
- All the way back?
- All the way back.
203
00:17:37,244 --> 00:17:39,162
He should've just run away.
204
00:17:40,205 --> 00:17:43,000
And his motive for murder?
205
00:17:43,125 --> 00:17:45,210
I think a grudge is best.
206
00:17:45,335 --> 00:17:47,713
It seems they argued over his pay.
207
00:17:47,838 --> 00:17:52,509
I don't know the facts,
but that's our defence strategy.
208
00:17:52,634 --> 00:17:54,761
He was enraged over being fired.
209
00:17:54,886 --> 00:17:59,266
A grudge, huh?
It's not a strong defence.
210
00:18:00,058 --> 00:18:03,562
Is it a lesser crime to kill for a grudge
than to steal money?
211
00:18:03,687 --> 00:18:06,356
It's worse if you kill for money
212
00:18:06,481 --> 00:18:09,234
because it's a selfish crime.
213
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,194
Even for the same murder?
214
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,113
That's a great question.
215
00:18:13,238 --> 00:18:18,702
If the motive is a grudge,
something must have provoked it.
216
00:18:18,827 --> 00:18:21,705
But if that makes it a lesser crime...
217
00:18:23,123 --> 00:18:25,584
The law is really strange.
218
00:18:42,976 --> 00:18:44,603
This is Shigemori.
219
00:18:46,021 --> 00:18:49,232
Yes, I'm her father.
220
00:18:52,527 --> 00:18:53,820
What?
221
00:19:01,370 --> 00:19:02,371
Hey.
222
00:19:04,373 --> 00:19:05,749
I got your call.
223
00:19:05,874 --> 00:19:07,584
You're her father?
224
00:19:09,044 --> 00:19:10,754
Don't "Hey" me.
225
00:19:10,879 --> 00:19:15,967
Usually, we'd report this to the police,
right away.
226
00:19:17,636 --> 00:19:19,930
I am so sorry for the trouble...
227
00:19:21,223 --> 00:19:22,891
my daughter caused you.
228
00:19:32,067 --> 00:19:33,694
Oh, you're a lawyer...
229
00:19:35,737 --> 00:19:39,366
I'm involved in an important murder case.
230
00:19:40,283 --> 00:19:42,703
I've been away from home a lot.
231
00:19:44,538 --> 00:19:46,748
I'm sure that was part of this...
232
00:19:49,042 --> 00:19:52,129
Yuka, I'm sorry.
233
00:19:52,254 --> 00:19:54,256
I've left you on your own.
234
00:20:03,223 --> 00:20:05,434
Why didn't you call your mother?
235
00:20:06,727 --> 00:20:10,439
In this case,
a lawyer is more useful.
236
00:20:14,067 --> 00:20:16,069
Thank you so much.
237
00:20:19,030 --> 00:20:22,909
Hey, um, how's Nemo doing?
238
00:20:25,328 --> 00:20:26,997
That's old news.
239
00:20:27,831 --> 00:20:29,374
Shall I send you the tank?
240
00:20:30,167 --> 00:20:31,877
Is it in your way?
241
00:20:32,002 --> 00:20:33,670
Not really.
242
00:20:34,504 --> 00:20:35,922
They died.
243
00:20:36,673 --> 00:20:39,092
They died? All of them?
244
00:20:39,217 --> 00:20:40,552
Yup.
245
00:20:42,637 --> 00:20:46,183
Why are you disappointed?
They're just fish.
246
00:20:49,186 --> 00:20:52,063
You didn't flush them
down the toilet, did you?
247
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:57,527
When a creature dies,
you need to make it
248
00:20:57,652 --> 00:20:59,362
a Proper grave.
249
00:20:59,488 --> 00:21:03,658
Suddenly, you're sounding
like a real father.
250
00:21:04,326 --> 00:21:08,246
What do you mean, "sounding like"?
I am your father.
251
00:21:08,371 --> 00:21:10,040
For now.
252
00:21:22,093 --> 00:21:23,553
Listen, Yuka.
253
00:21:25,013 --> 00:21:28,058
Why did you cry before?
254
00:21:30,602 --> 00:21:32,395
I'm good at that...
255
00:21:47,661 --> 00:21:49,704
Here. See?
256
00:21:51,832 --> 00:21:55,210
Amazing, right?
Everyone falls for it.
257
00:22:05,303 --> 00:22:07,180
Go ahead, answer it.
258
00:22:08,306 --> 00:22:09,349
Forget it.
259
00:22:10,642 --> 00:22:13,270
Answer it.
Oh, your lover?
260
00:22:13,395 --> 00:22:15,605
No way, dummy.
261
00:22:16,398 --> 00:22:17,941
It's Settsu.
262
00:22:21,027 --> 00:22:22,362
Hello?
263
00:22:24,948 --> 00:22:28,159
Right now?
Sure, I can go.
264
00:22:29,202 --> 00:22:30,704
No, I haven't.
265
00:22:36,918 --> 00:22:38,962
Has Misumi read this?
266
00:22:39,754 --> 00:22:43,633
I sent it over for him to read.
267
00:22:44,926 --> 00:22:49,139
We can't have him
just saying whatever he wants.
268
00:22:53,435 --> 00:22:55,145
Sorry.
269
00:22:56,771 --> 00:22:58,815
It's cold today, isn't it?
270
00:23:01,902 --> 00:23:04,779
Let's see, today...
271
00:23:06,740 --> 00:23:09,451
We're here about
this magazine article.
272
00:23:11,411 --> 00:23:12,621
Oh.
273
00:23:13,914 --> 00:23:17,584
Is this true?
This "Exclusive Confession".
274
00:23:18,168 --> 00:23:23,715
The part where it says: "His wife asked me
to kill him for his life insurance."
275
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,635
Oh, yes.
276
00:23:27,969 --> 00:23:30,055
Did you really say this?
277
00:23:32,265 --> 00:23:34,309
Yes, probably.
278
00:23:34,434 --> 00:23:37,812
What do you mean, "probably"?
279
00:23:39,439 --> 00:23:45,904
Misumi, your bank account
280
00:23:46,029 --> 00:23:49,532
shows a transfer of 500,000 yen
in early October.
281
00:23:49,658 --> 00:23:53,662
In addition to your salary.
This was from his wife?
282
00:23:54,871 --> 00:23:57,582
Yes, that was from his wife.
283
00:23:59,250 --> 00:24:00,835
So that means,
284
00:24:01,586 --> 00:24:04,756
this was the down payment
for your fee.
285
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,925
Yes.
286
00:24:08,385 --> 00:24:11,846
Why didn't you tell us that
from the beginning?
287
00:24:14,474 --> 00:24:16,226
I'm not sure why.
288
00:24:21,564 --> 00:24:22,941
Maybe it's that...
289
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:28,738
Maybe the journalist asked you
about this story first, right?
290
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:33,410
I can't really remember.
291
00:24:34,202 --> 00:24:35,829
Not again.
292
00:24:36,871 --> 00:24:39,749
How did she ask you to kill him?
293
00:24:39,874 --> 00:24:42,085
By mobile phone email.
294
00:24:42,210 --> 00:24:44,421
- Phone email?
- Yes.
295
00:24:44,546 --> 00:24:45,714
About when?
296
00:24:46,715 --> 00:24:49,300
About two weeks before I killed him.
297
00:24:50,218 --> 00:24:52,262
Is it still on your phone?
298
00:24:52,387 --> 00:24:54,556
Yes, probably.
299
00:24:57,225 --> 00:25:00,937
I think this could work:
conspiracy, aiding and abetting.
300
00:25:01,062 --> 00:25:02,939
- Really?
- Yes.
301
00:25:05,734 --> 00:25:09,154
After the crime,
did you contact his wife?
302
00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:12,824
Yes, from a pay phone.
303
00:25:12,949 --> 00:25:14,325
And then?
304
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:21,833
She said if I kept her out of it,
she would take care of me.
305
00:25:27,797 --> 00:25:31,009
Tell me, were you and his wife...
306
00:25:32,469 --> 00:25:36,473
...involved as a man and a woman?
307
00:25:42,812 --> 00:25:44,981
According to yesterday's magazine report,
308
00:25:45,106 --> 00:25:50,487
there is shocking new evidence
in the factory owner murder case.
309
00:25:50,612 --> 00:25:53,990
Can you take care of the business
for 500,000 yen?
310
00:25:54,115 --> 00:25:55,492
By When?
311
00:25:55,617 --> 00:25:58,661
The loan payment is due,
so, by end of October.
312
00:25:58,787 --> 00:26:01,664
I understand.
Leave it to me.
313
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,170
What do you think?
314
00:26:07,295 --> 00:26:08,505
Does it smell fishy?
315
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:09,839
No.
316
00:26:09,964 --> 00:26:14,803
If we can prove she paid Misumi money,
that's a criminal conspiracy.
317
00:26:15,637 --> 00:26:18,515
And the wife could become
the main offender.
318
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,310
But if, as Misumi says,
he and the wife were sexually involved,
319
00:26:22,435 --> 00:26:24,813
they were probably co-conspirators.
320
00:26:24,938 --> 00:26:26,106
Did he admit it?
321
00:26:26,231 --> 00:26:30,860
He was embarrassed.
His look said he'd done it.
322
00:26:32,487 --> 00:26:35,031
But he didn't actually admit anything.
323
00:26:35,156 --> 00:26:37,450
Of course they did it.
324
00:26:37,575 --> 00:26:41,037
As soon as I saw her face,
I just sensed it...
325
00:26:41,955 --> 00:26:44,999
But he didn't say,
"She asked me to kill him," either.
326
00:26:46,668 --> 00:26:48,253
Let me see that.
327
00:26:48,378 --> 00:26:49,379
Yes.
328
00:26:49,504 --> 00:26:52,715
I doubt the prosecution will reduce
the charge based on this mobile email.
329
00:26:52,841 --> 00:26:57,262
They've already prosecuted him for
doing it alone and they've got their pride.
330
00:26:57,387 --> 00:27:00,014
Speaking as a former
prosecutor myself...
331
00:27:00,140 --> 00:27:01,474
But look,
332
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:06,104
"She said if I kept her out of it,
she would take care of me."
333
00:27:06,229 --> 00:27:07,605
Here.
334
00:27:07,730 --> 00:27:12,527
But that could be about their
sexual involvement, not the killing.
335
00:27:15,572 --> 00:27:19,450
Which is the truth...
A grudge or life insurance?
336
00:27:20,493 --> 00:27:24,664
Whichever is advantageous
for the client, of course.
337
00:27:24,789 --> 00:27:27,709
I understand that as a legal strategy...
338
00:27:27,834 --> 00:27:30,295
And what else do we have to consider?
339
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:31,462
Nothing, I guess.
340
00:27:31,588 --> 00:27:35,884
Nothing is right.
We'll never know which is the truth.
341
00:27:36,009 --> 00:27:39,721
So, we choose
whatever benefits his case.
342
00:27:39,846 --> 00:27:41,639
So, what do we do?
343
00:27:43,683 --> 00:27:44,976
Do we go ahead and risk it?
344
00:27:46,269 --> 00:27:49,647
It is a jury trial,
and the testimony will change.
345
00:27:49,772 --> 00:27:54,360
If it were me,
I'd hesitate with the death penalty.
346
00:27:57,071 --> 00:28:01,451
The defence has asked that mobile phone
email records be admitted as evidence.
347
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,329
Objection.
348
00:28:05,455 --> 00:28:08,666
On what grounds do you object?
349
00:28:09,292 --> 00:28:12,670
Do you mean that the contents
of the mobile email are untrustworthy?
350
00:28:12,795 --> 00:28:16,049
No, the records are irrelevant.
351
00:28:16,174 --> 00:28:17,675
What?
352
00:28:18,343 --> 00:28:21,012
Well, in that case,
it's objective evidence,
353
00:28:21,137 --> 00:28:23,890
so it's admissible as irrelevant.
354
00:28:25,099 --> 00:28:26,976
Well...
355
00:28:28,603 --> 00:28:30,438
That's fine, then.
356
00:28:30,563 --> 00:28:32,607
So, it's admitted.
357
00:28:32,732 --> 00:28:35,151
And you don't dispute his culpability.
358
00:28:35,276 --> 00:28:38,279
No, we don't dispute his culpability.
359
00:28:38,404 --> 00:28:41,783
So, the issue is whether or not
he intended to steal.
360
00:28:41,908 --> 00:28:45,119
Yes, we are contesting the murder
and burglary charge.
361
00:28:46,663 --> 00:28:50,959
The prosecution is calling
362
00:28:51,084 --> 00:28:55,213
the wife, Mizue and daughter, Sakie,
as witnesses.
363
00:28:55,338 --> 00:28:56,381
Yes.
364
00:28:56,506 --> 00:28:58,383
Does the defence have an opinion?
365
00:28:58,508 --> 00:29:00,593
As you see fit.
366
00:29:00,718 --> 00:29:03,638
Is the defence calling witnesses?
367
00:29:03,763 --> 00:29:04,806
Yes.
368
00:29:04,931 --> 00:29:09,060
The defence is also calling the wife,
Mizue.
369
00:29:09,185 --> 00:29:12,146
This is to rebut the intent to burglar.
370
00:29:12,272 --> 00:29:13,773
Yes.
371
00:29:13,898 --> 00:29:18,861
And the defendant's daughter,
Megumi is a character witness.
372
00:29:18,987 --> 00:29:21,114
Yes, that is the plan.
373
00:29:21,239 --> 00:29:23,283
Does the prosecution have an opinion?
374
00:29:25,910 --> 00:29:27,912
As you see fit.
375
00:29:28,037 --> 00:29:32,292
That's settled then.
For the next date...
376
00:29:37,672 --> 00:29:41,634
I highly doubt that email will stand up
as evidence she asked him to murder him.
377
00:29:42,844 --> 00:29:46,139
It's plenty to contest the charge
of murder and burglary.
378
00:29:46,264 --> 00:29:49,726
I think he got scared and decided to say
someone instructed him to do it.
379
00:29:50,601 --> 00:29:54,689
I think you're convinced
it was a murder and burglary.
380
00:29:54,814 --> 00:29:56,941
All you live for is "reducing charges".
381
00:29:57,066 --> 00:29:59,027
That's what lawyers do.
382
00:30:02,488 --> 00:30:05,116
You're the kind of lawyer
383
00:30:05,241 --> 00:30:08,286
that gets in the way
of criminals facing their guilt.
384
00:30:09,370 --> 00:30:10,496
What?
385
00:30:11,122 --> 00:30:14,459
What does "facing your guilt"
actually mean?
386
00:30:15,918 --> 00:30:18,963
It means not averting your eyes
from the truth.
387
00:30:19,589 --> 00:30:21,507
The truth?
388
00:30:25,928 --> 00:30:27,513
I think that's about enough.
389
00:30:27,638 --> 00:30:32,226
As we know,
you are on opposite sides here, right?
390
00:30:34,312 --> 00:30:35,521
Hello.
391
00:30:35,646 --> 00:30:37,815
- Sorry to make you wait.
- Thank you.
392
00:30:37,940 --> 00:30:40,610
That house is built out beyond
the building code.
393
00:30:40,735 --> 00:30:43,112
It's jammed up against
the next building.
394
00:30:43,237 --> 00:30:46,949
This guy here is on his second wife.
She's 24 years younger.
395
00:30:47,075 --> 00:30:49,243
Oh, I'm envious.
396
00:30:49,369 --> 00:30:52,622
It's hell at night.
They make so much noise.
397
00:30:54,374 --> 00:30:56,501
- Wear these.
- Thank you so much.
398
00:31:03,383 --> 00:31:05,385
What kind of man was Misumi?
399
00:31:05,510 --> 00:31:08,930
He was a good man who followed
the rules about putting out his trash.
400
00:31:09,055 --> 00:31:12,016
He asked me to send him
some sweaters.
401
00:31:12,141 --> 00:31:14,811
Did he get them,
like that green one?
402
00:31:14,936 --> 00:31:16,521
Yes, he was wearing it.
403
00:31:16,646 --> 00:31:18,356
It looks like it's cold in prison.
404
00:31:19,232 --> 00:31:21,859
I guess it's pretty cold in here, too.
405
00:31:24,821 --> 00:31:27,740
It smells mouldy in here,
it never gets any fresh air.
406
00:31:33,037 --> 00:31:34,247
Um...
407
00:31:36,374 --> 00:31:39,210
Did this person ever visit him here?
408
00:31:39,335 --> 00:31:40,336
Oh...
409
00:31:40,461 --> 00:31:42,839
I saw her on TV.
410
00:31:43,548 --> 00:31:46,175
I never saw her before.
411
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:48,761
She might have been wearing a disguise.
412
00:31:49,387 --> 00:31:52,432
Hardly anyone ever visited him.
413
00:31:52,557 --> 00:31:54,934
But a young girl visited him
once in a while.
414
00:31:55,059 --> 00:31:57,103
- A young girl?
- Yes.
415
00:31:57,854 --> 00:31:59,063
About what age?
416
00:31:59,188 --> 00:32:02,608
Maybe high school age.
She wore a uniform and had a bad leg.
417
00:32:02,733 --> 00:32:04,861
She walked like this.
418
00:32:09,782 --> 00:32:11,409
How did she seem?
419
00:32:12,952 --> 00:32:16,330
She laughed a lot in a bright voice.
420
00:32:18,958 --> 00:32:21,002
She's not his daughter?
421
00:32:23,713 --> 00:32:25,590
I wonder.
422
00:32:26,632 --> 00:32:28,843
Oh, there's a spider.
423
00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:32,513
But a spider during daytime
isn't bad luck.
424
00:32:39,979 --> 00:32:43,357
Oh, that's right.
When his pet bird died,
425
00:32:43,483 --> 00:32:46,319
he asked me permission
to bury it outside.
426
00:33:27,276 --> 00:33:29,820
Thank you for your gift.
427
00:33:31,697 --> 00:33:34,909
I figured you like peanut butter.
428
00:33:35,952 --> 00:33:37,370
I saw a jar in your place.
429
00:33:38,496 --> 00:33:40,206
I love it.
430
00:33:40,331 --> 00:33:43,334
They serve bread for lunch here
twice a week.
431
00:33:47,046 --> 00:33:50,091
You had a pet bird?
432
00:33:51,884 --> 00:33:53,094
Yes.
433
00:33:54,178 --> 00:33:55,721
A canary.
434
00:33:57,223 --> 00:34:00,434
It died... from a sickness.
435
00:34:03,396 --> 00:34:04,772
That grave...
436
00:34:06,315 --> 00:34:08,359
- Grave?
- Yes.
437
00:34:08,484 --> 00:34:10,319
Under your window.
438
00:34:11,195 --> 00:34:12,655
Yes.
439
00:34:13,781 --> 00:34:16,742
Your birdcage was so large,
it made me wonder.
440
00:34:18,286 --> 00:34:20,204
So, I dug it up.
441
00:34:23,916 --> 00:34:27,962
Five birds don't get sick at once.
442
00:34:28,462 --> 00:34:29,922
I mean...
443
00:34:32,216 --> 00:34:35,261
even if I'd set them free,
444
00:34:36,554 --> 00:34:38,764
they couldn't survive on their own.
445
00:34:50,901 --> 00:34:52,445
One bird...
446
00:34:55,114 --> 00:34:57,241
managed to fly away.
447
00:35:00,620 --> 00:35:02,872
It's going to be cold for a while.
448
00:35:04,248 --> 00:35:06,375
I wonder how it's doing,
449
00:35:07,209 --> 00:35:08,836
for food and...
450
00:35:12,465 --> 00:35:17,887
I wanted to ask you about the rent.
451
00:35:18,012 --> 00:35:23,017
It was 38,000 yen.
With a bath, though it's small.
452
00:35:26,312 --> 00:35:28,356
I asked your landlord.
453
00:35:30,316 --> 00:35:31,859
Next month's rent...
454
00:35:33,110 --> 00:35:35,988
You paid it 10 days earlier than usual.
455
00:35:38,783 --> 00:35:40,284
I think,
456
00:35:41,952 --> 00:35:45,706
you planned to get arrested, right?
457
00:35:50,086 --> 00:35:53,297
You don't understand, do you?
458
00:35:54,048 --> 00:35:55,508
What?
459
00:35:55,633 --> 00:35:59,303
Paying rent is a pleasure.
460
00:36:01,597 --> 00:36:03,474
- A pleasure?
- Yes.
461
00:36:05,935 --> 00:36:09,146
You don't pay rent in prison.
462
00:36:11,607 --> 00:36:14,527
There was no other special reason.
463
00:36:22,576 --> 00:36:26,288
Let me see your hands.
464
00:36:27,248 --> 00:36:28,916
- My hands?
- Yes.
465
00:36:30,626 --> 00:36:32,169
Like this.
466
00:36:43,097 --> 00:36:44,682
You have a large hand.
467
00:36:44,807 --> 00:36:46,809
Keep it there.
468
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,409
You'll start to feel the heat soon.
469
00:37:07,413 --> 00:37:08,789
I...
470
00:37:09,915 --> 00:37:14,962
...learn more about someone this way
than talking to them.
471
00:37:18,883 --> 00:37:23,554
Shall I guess
what you're thinking now?
472
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:29,393
Go ahead.
473
00:38:11,268 --> 00:38:13,187
How old is she now?
474
00:38:14,021 --> 00:38:15,606
Your daughter.
475
00:38:19,026 --> 00:38:21,695
She's 14.
476
00:38:24,657 --> 00:38:26,534
Oh, I see.
477
00:38:38,879 --> 00:38:42,550
The next witness to be examined
is Misumi's daughter.
478
00:38:43,759 --> 00:38:46,554
Well, only if we can find her.
479
00:38:47,972 --> 00:38:50,516
After that is Misumi's direct questioning.
480
00:38:50,641 --> 00:38:53,394
That's the toughest.
481
00:38:53,519 --> 00:38:57,731
On the theory that the wife
is the main culprit.
482
00:38:58,357 --> 00:39:01,026
Yeah, that's right.
483
00:39:02,862 --> 00:39:05,739
You don't sound yourself.
You lack confidence.
484
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,620
I can't sell our apartment
for as much as I'd hoped.
485
00:39:11,745 --> 00:39:13,664
Oh, that.
486
00:39:14,498 --> 00:39:16,709
Please, Shigemori.
487
00:39:16,834 --> 00:39:20,504
Misumi's very life depends
on your "you know what".
488
00:39:20,629 --> 00:39:22,298
What's "you know what"?
489
00:39:22,423 --> 00:39:23,924
You know what.
490
00:39:24,049 --> 00:39:25,759
Cut it out.
491
00:39:29,054 --> 00:39:31,724
- Tell me, Settsu...
- What?
492
00:39:31,849 --> 00:39:35,644
How much did you tell Misumi
about me?
493
00:39:36,395 --> 00:39:40,774
How much? That we were
in judicial practice class together.
494
00:39:41,984 --> 00:39:43,944
What about my daughter?
495
00:39:44,069 --> 00:39:46,113
No, I didn't tell him.
496
00:39:46,822 --> 00:39:48,240
But why?
497
00:39:49,033 --> 00:39:50,743
What did he say?
498
00:39:51,911 --> 00:39:54,496
No, in that case, it's fine.
499
00:40:51,053 --> 00:40:54,932
HOKKAIDO UNIVERSITY
VETERINARY SCHOOL
500
00:41:20,124 --> 00:41:23,252
Apparently, she was born
with that bad leg.
501
00:41:23,377 --> 00:41:25,254
But...
502
00:41:25,379 --> 00:41:26,755
But?
503
00:41:27,673 --> 00:41:32,511
She tells people it's an injury from when
she jumped from the factory roof as a child.
504
00:41:35,848 --> 00:41:37,558
Why does she lie about it?
505
00:41:38,767 --> 00:41:40,227
I wonder.
506
00:41:42,312 --> 00:41:44,857
And the day of the crime?
Sakie...
507
00:41:46,567 --> 00:41:50,279
She got home after school
and apparently never left the house.
508
00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:53,741
She does have that bad leg.
509
00:42:04,084 --> 00:42:06,879
I'm telling you, the prosecution
and the defence
510
00:42:07,004 --> 00:42:10,883
are often 180 degrees apart
on psychiatric evaluations.
511
00:42:11,341 --> 00:42:15,888
Psychiatry isn't science,
it's literature.
512
00:42:16,972 --> 00:42:19,475
You love to criticise evaluations.
513
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,060
Welcome back.
514
00:42:23,479 --> 00:42:28,067
Here are the Rumoi Murder and Burglary
case files I promised you.
515
00:42:29,234 --> 00:42:32,821
You called me so unexpectedly.
I was surprised.
516
00:42:34,281 --> 00:42:37,326
This is former Judge Shigemori.
517
00:42:37,451 --> 00:42:39,620
Oh, your father.
518
00:42:40,370 --> 00:42:43,415
Thank you so much.
The files will be helpful.
519
00:42:43,540 --> 00:42:47,503
You didn't have to bring them all this way,
you could have just shipped them.
520
00:42:47,628 --> 00:42:49,922
- Which class are you?
- Class of 69.
521
00:42:50,047 --> 00:42:52,132
You've got so much competition now.
522
00:42:52,257 --> 00:42:54,218
Your son keeps me busy.
523
00:42:54,343 --> 00:42:56,637
- You practise solo out of his office?
- Yes.
524
00:42:56,762 --> 00:43:01,350
Your father told me that your
childhood dream was to be a judge.
525
00:43:01,475 --> 00:43:02,851
What? For real?
526
00:43:03,685 --> 00:43:04,686
Who knew?
527
00:43:04,812 --> 00:43:08,273
Can you please stop talking
about my past?
528
00:43:09,817 --> 00:43:11,819
- What about her?
- What?
529
00:43:11,944 --> 00:43:14,822
Divorced women are patient.
530
00:43:14,947 --> 00:43:18,200
My divorce hasn't gone through yet.
531
00:43:18,325 --> 00:43:20,828
Then I'll propose my candidacy first.
532
00:43:21,912 --> 00:43:25,207
That's enough.
Please go home when you're done.
533
00:43:25,332 --> 00:43:29,044
- No, I think I'll stay here a few nights.
- What?
534
00:43:29,169 --> 00:43:33,173
Do you know that Italian place,
La Bisboccia, in Hiroo?
535
00:43:33,298 --> 00:43:34,591
I do not.
536
00:43:35,509 --> 00:43:38,554
So, where will you stay tonight?
537
00:43:38,679 --> 00:43:41,431
Shall I reserve a hotel room for you?
538
00:43:41,557 --> 00:43:43,559
A suite for two, please.
539
00:43:45,936 --> 00:43:48,230
You're super fun, Mister.
540
00:44:01,702 --> 00:44:04,246
He just wanted to kill.
541
00:44:05,706 --> 00:44:06,957
That's his motive?
542
00:44:07,541 --> 00:44:11,879
Right.
Kill for fun and then burn him.
543
00:44:12,963 --> 00:44:16,133
Some people are more beast
than human.
544
00:44:17,384 --> 00:44:20,762
But in your court ruling here,
545
00:44:20,888 --> 00:44:24,516
you discuss his unfortunate childhood
and his poverty
546
00:44:24,641 --> 00:44:27,477
as extenuating circumstances.
547
00:44:27,603 --> 00:44:28,979
That was 30 years ago.
548
00:44:30,230 --> 00:44:34,234
Back then, we still believed
social conditions generate crimes.
549
00:44:35,235 --> 00:44:38,405
Blame it on the times?
550
00:44:39,448 --> 00:44:43,493
I never advocated
to abolish the death penalty.
551
00:44:44,620 --> 00:44:45,913
And now...
552
00:44:47,039 --> 00:44:50,417
Because of my compassionate ruling,
553
00:44:51,418 --> 00:44:54,254
someone else had to die.
554
00:44:56,381 --> 00:44:58,425
I do regret it.
555
00:45:01,220 --> 00:45:02,638
Listen.
556
00:45:03,555 --> 00:45:05,307
There's a huge gap
557
00:45:05,432 --> 00:45:09,019
separating those who kill
and those who don't.
558
00:45:10,062 --> 00:45:14,233
Whether or not you can cross that gap
is determined at birth.
559
00:45:17,861 --> 00:45:21,073
That's an awfully arrogant statement.
560
00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:25,244
You don't even believe
in rehabilitation?
561
00:45:26,203 --> 00:45:28,413
After he sent you this postcard.
562
00:45:28,538 --> 00:45:33,085
You're the arrogant one for thinking
people can change so easily.
563
00:45:33,877 --> 00:45:38,340
In this case,
he just killed for money, right?
564
00:45:40,050 --> 00:45:41,260
No.
565
00:45:42,052 --> 00:45:46,056
I have a feeling
there was another reason.
566
00:45:47,891 --> 00:45:51,061
Don't waste your time
trying to figure him out.
567
00:45:52,854 --> 00:45:55,065
Don't say "wasting my time".
568
00:45:58,151 --> 00:46:01,905
People hardly understand members
of their own family, let alone strangers.
569
00:46:30,475 --> 00:46:32,644
Dear Judge Shigemori,
570
00:46:33,562 --> 00:46:35,522
I haven't seen you in a while.
571
00:46:35,647 --> 00:46:38,859
I'm Takashi Misumi.
You presided at my trial.
572
00:46:40,068 --> 00:46:42,738
Last year, I was released
on probation,
573
00:46:42,863 --> 00:46:46,283
and I now work
in a food factory in Kawasaki.
574
00:46:47,909 --> 00:46:50,912
There was a big snow storm here
last week,
575
00:46:51,038 --> 00:46:54,499
that reminded me of my hometown
in Hokkaido.
576
00:46:55,375 --> 00:46:57,919
For my daughter's 4th birthday,
577
00:46:58,045 --> 00:47:00,922
we made a big birthday cake
with snow.
578
00:47:02,507 --> 00:47:07,596
My daughter wasn't wearing gloves,
so I gave her one of mine.
579
00:47:08,972 --> 00:47:11,641
Her hands got red with the cold
580
00:47:11,767 --> 00:47:14,936
while she made a cake
taller than herself.
581
00:47:16,271 --> 00:47:20,317
It is a cold... and warm memory.
582
00:48:07,614 --> 00:48:12,327
The next and last stop is Rumoi.
583
00:48:29,302 --> 00:48:33,348
How old were you
at the time of his last case?
584
00:48:33,473 --> 00:48:34,558
It was in the 1980s?
585
00:48:34,683 --> 00:48:36,268
1986.
586
00:48:37,060 --> 00:48:39,604
I was a Junior in High School.
587
00:48:42,065 --> 00:48:43,275
Do you remember it?
588
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,443
No.
589
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,737
Hokkaido is a big prefecture.
590
00:48:47,863 --> 00:48:52,075
Nobody remembers a case
from this tiny little town.
591
00:48:54,536 --> 00:48:59,082
He murdered two loan sharks, stole
their money and set fire to their apartment.
592
00:48:59,207 --> 00:49:01,960
It's amazing he didn't get
the death penalty.
593
00:49:02,085 --> 00:49:07,090
If he had been sentenced to death,
he wouldn't have killed someone else.
594
00:49:07,215 --> 00:49:09,426
Your father will scold you.
595
00:49:10,552 --> 00:49:13,930
That's what my father said.
596
00:49:23,231 --> 00:49:28,612
I arrested him on January 22nd, 1986.
597
00:49:29,905 --> 00:49:33,200
A blizzard had shut down the railroad.
598
00:49:33,325 --> 00:49:35,911
It was a bitterly cold night.
599
00:49:37,579 --> 00:49:40,999
Did you arrest Misumi,
Mister Watanabe?
600
00:49:41,124 --> 00:49:42,250
Yes.
601
00:49:43,835 --> 00:49:46,505
The day after the incident,
602
00:49:46,630 --> 00:49:49,716
I found him,
sitting on the bench
603
00:49:49,841 --> 00:49:52,093
outside the station.
604
00:49:53,386 --> 00:49:56,598
What was his motive?
For the murder?
605
00:49:57,933 --> 00:50:01,311
Officially, it's a grudge.
606
00:50:02,187 --> 00:50:03,480
Officially?
607
00:50:04,356 --> 00:50:06,775
But the truth is, nobody knows.
608
00:50:07,692 --> 00:50:11,071
He kept changing his story
while I was questioning him.
609
00:50:14,032 --> 00:50:17,577
After the mines closed,
610
00:50:17,702 --> 00:50:20,080
many local men were unemployed.
611
00:50:21,831 --> 00:50:26,169
Gangsters gave them
high-interest loans
612
00:50:27,003 --> 00:50:29,589
and treated them horribly.
613
00:50:30,549 --> 00:50:33,343
Oh, we're fine.
614
00:50:35,845 --> 00:50:41,059
I guess his lawyer thought
that a grudge would help him
615
00:50:42,727 --> 00:50:45,605
avoid the death penalty.
616
00:50:47,065 --> 00:50:50,235
He didn't have any personal hatred?
617
00:50:51,152 --> 00:50:55,824
Takashi didn't hold any grudges
or hate anyone.
618
00:50:57,158 --> 00:50:59,911
And that made him spooky.
619
00:51:00,996 --> 00:51:02,956
It was like...
620
00:51:03,081 --> 00:51:06,293
he was an empty vessel.
621
00:51:13,008 --> 00:51:14,551
Car coming behind you.
622
00:51:14,676 --> 00:51:15,719
Right.
623
00:51:20,181 --> 00:51:22,058
World One...
624
00:51:22,183 --> 00:51:25,061
Ran, Hitomi, Asuka...
625
00:51:27,314 --> 00:51:28,773
Hey, isn't that it?
626
00:51:28,898 --> 00:51:30,442
Yes, this is it.
627
00:51:39,659 --> 00:51:43,496
Did her father try
to contact her recently?
628
00:51:43,622 --> 00:51:45,915
Did he send her money?
629
00:51:46,041 --> 00:51:49,878
Yukari, did Megumi
ever mention her father?
630
00:51:50,670 --> 00:51:52,797
I know the guy she called "Daddy".
631
00:51:52,922 --> 00:51:55,967
Not that guy, you idiot,
her real father.
632
00:51:56,092 --> 00:51:58,428
Hi there!
633
00:51:58,553 --> 00:52:01,389
- How late were you drinking?
- Till 5:00am!
634
00:52:01,514 --> 00:52:04,309
- Your face is swollen.
- Shut up, we sang Karaoke.
635
00:52:04,434 --> 00:52:06,561
I hear you got it on
with Ken yesterday.
636
00:52:06,686 --> 00:52:11,232
Do you have any idea
where Megumi went?
637
00:52:12,317 --> 00:52:14,235
I have no idea.
638
00:52:14,361 --> 00:52:16,655
Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.
639
00:52:17,405 --> 00:52:20,367
Please don't be like that.
Tell us.
640
00:52:22,243 --> 00:52:26,665
Her testimony could reduce his sentence
from the death penalty to life in prison.
641
00:52:27,749 --> 00:52:29,459
She wanted him dead.
642
00:52:31,503 --> 00:52:35,256
She said,
"I wish he'd hurry up and die".
643
00:52:36,508 --> 00:52:39,761
The Tokyo cops came here
right after the murder.
644
00:52:39,886 --> 00:52:42,722
That's why she couldn't
live here anymore.
645
00:52:45,392 --> 00:52:48,978
How long do kids have to take
the blame for their parents' crimes?
646
00:52:57,779 --> 00:53:00,281
I wish you'd told me
you were planning to go up there.
647
00:53:01,658 --> 00:53:05,954
We're considering calling your daughter
as a character witness.
648
00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:10,041
She won't come all this way.
Not for me.
649
00:53:11,584 --> 00:53:14,129
She just wants me
to hurry up and die.
650
00:53:14,254 --> 00:53:17,632
Some things are best forgotten.
Please understand.
651
00:53:19,843 --> 00:53:20,885
But...
652
00:53:22,011 --> 00:53:27,517
I think it's also important
for you to face what you did.
653
00:53:28,727 --> 00:53:30,019
Face what I...
654
00:53:30,145 --> 00:53:31,646
Right.
655
00:53:31,771 --> 00:53:33,356
Everybody does that?
656
00:53:35,608 --> 00:53:36,985
I think so.
657
00:53:37,110 --> 00:53:39,738
Of course not! I mean...
658
00:53:44,033 --> 00:53:48,413
You have to pretend not to see
a lot of things to live on the outside.
659
00:53:53,668 --> 00:53:59,424
You do regret having killed
your boss, right?
660
00:54:00,425 --> 00:54:02,594
- Regret?
- Yes.
661
00:54:03,386 --> 00:54:07,724
You already wrote that you do
in your letter.
662
00:54:08,975 --> 00:54:12,228
Because that other lawyer
kept telling me I had to write it.
663
00:54:13,104 --> 00:54:14,481
Misumi,
664
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:19,194
whatever your true feelings are,
please don't take that attitude in court.
665
00:54:19,319 --> 00:54:20,653
I know that.
666
00:54:20,779 --> 00:54:23,990
It's going to be a jury trial.
667
00:54:30,330 --> 00:54:31,873
I know that,
668
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,836
but I think that guy
deserved to be killed.
669
00:54:38,505 --> 00:54:40,048
- Deserved?
- Yes.
670
00:54:41,424 --> 00:54:43,384
Why do you think that?
671
00:54:55,355 --> 00:54:58,900
There are some people in this world
who should never have been born.
672
00:55:01,319 --> 00:55:03,571
But that's no excuse
673
00:55:03,696 --> 00:55:06,032
for killing someone
to solve the problem.
674
00:55:06,157 --> 00:55:09,369
Isn't that how you guys solve things?
675
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,712
Are you referring
to the death penalty?
676
00:55:32,308 --> 00:55:33,309
That's it for today.
677
00:55:36,312 --> 00:55:38,189
There's no one.
678
00:55:39,691 --> 00:55:41,192
There's no one...
679
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,698
who should never have been born.
680
00:55:54,372 --> 00:55:55,957
We're done!
681
00:56:18,730 --> 00:56:19,981
But...
682
00:56:21,733 --> 00:56:25,194
He seemed like
a completely different man.
683
00:56:26,321 --> 00:56:29,198
- Who?
- Misumi did.
684
00:56:33,536 --> 00:56:34,954
You...
685
00:56:35,997 --> 00:56:41,002
Earlier, you said, "There's no one
who should never have been born."
686
00:56:41,127 --> 00:56:42,128
Yes.
687
00:56:43,171 --> 00:56:45,173
Do you really believe that?
688
00:56:45,673 --> 00:56:46,758
Yes.
689
00:56:48,259 --> 00:56:49,886
Don't you agree?
690
00:56:50,762 --> 00:56:52,221
Well...
691
00:56:52,931 --> 00:56:55,725
I don't agree. I don't.
692
00:56:56,517 --> 00:56:58,144
Why not?
693
00:57:00,021 --> 00:57:05,443
People's lives get decided for them,
regardless of what they want.
694
00:57:07,153 --> 00:57:08,696
What do you mean?
695
00:57:12,492 --> 00:57:16,204
Some people are born into circumstances
they never would have wanted.
696
00:57:17,455 --> 00:57:22,293
Some have their lives taken away
from them unfairly.
697
00:57:57,787 --> 00:57:59,330
Welcome.
698
00:58:11,009 --> 00:58:12,802
That tastes good, right?
699
00:58:14,721 --> 00:58:16,973
They served it for school lunch.
700
00:58:17,098 --> 00:58:19,267
We used to fight over any leftovers.
701
00:58:20,351 --> 00:58:23,396
It was in a small plastic pack.
702
00:58:24,522 --> 00:58:26,733
What do you want with me?
703
00:58:38,077 --> 00:58:40,329
You used to visit his apartment.
704
00:58:41,289 --> 00:58:42,665
I mean, Misumi's.
705
00:58:46,794 --> 00:58:49,005
Is that what you wanted to ask me?
706
00:58:52,884 --> 00:58:54,927
Normally, people wouldn't...
707
00:59:00,308 --> 00:59:02,435
What's normal?
708
00:59:07,857 --> 00:59:09,192
I'm sorry.
709
00:59:10,818 --> 00:59:13,029
I asked you the wrong way.
710
00:59:15,323 --> 00:59:17,533
No, I'm sorry.
711
00:59:42,141 --> 00:59:44,769
Did Misumi tell you
about his family?
712
00:59:47,730 --> 00:59:49,232
No.
713
00:59:54,570 --> 00:59:59,659
He has an only daughter.
714
00:59:59,784 --> 01:00:02,829
Apparently, he hasn't seen her
in about 30 years.
715
01:00:04,831 --> 01:00:06,749
His daughter also...
716
01:00:07,917 --> 01:00:10,628
has a bad leg like you.
717
01:00:17,844 --> 01:00:21,139
I thought that's why
you two became friends.
718
01:00:24,308 --> 01:00:25,726
I see.
719
01:00:27,478 --> 01:00:28,980
You didn't know.
720
01:00:34,861 --> 01:00:39,115
Someone says they saw you with him
at the Karaoke by the station.
721
01:00:40,658 --> 01:00:44,162
That was at the year-end party.
722
01:00:44,287 --> 01:00:45,538
You were never alone together?
723
01:00:45,663 --> 01:00:47,790
Of course not! Ridiculous.
724
01:00:50,168 --> 01:00:52,712
About the life insurance...
725
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,090
You're the beneficiary, right?
726
01:00:57,341 --> 01:00:59,218
Are you OK?
727
01:01:01,012 --> 01:01:04,682
Turn off the light.
They can see inside.
728
01:01:12,190 --> 01:01:15,318
Why would he be my lover?
729
01:01:15,443 --> 01:01:17,904
Who made up such a baseless story?
730
01:01:39,759 --> 01:01:41,135
Be careful.
731
01:01:46,057 --> 01:01:48,392
After what happened to your father.
732
01:01:51,771 --> 01:01:55,233
You're the only one
I can depend on now.
733
01:01:58,402 --> 01:02:01,614
This pan has gotten really old.
734
01:02:02,406 --> 01:02:04,116
It's all dented.
735
01:02:07,078 --> 01:02:10,248
If you go away to Hokkaido for college,
736
01:02:13,501 --> 01:02:16,462
I might die of loneliness.
737
01:02:17,296 --> 01:02:21,425
You won't die,
just from being lonely.
738
01:02:22,260 --> 01:02:24,262
You're not a rabbit.
739
01:02:33,437 --> 01:02:35,815
Why won't they pay me
the life insurance?
740
01:02:37,275 --> 01:02:38,776
What do you think?
741
01:02:41,070 --> 01:02:43,614
You're worried about money, now?
742
01:02:47,076 --> 01:02:50,788
I guess even
the insurance company thinks
743
01:02:52,039 --> 01:02:53,457
I had him killed.
744
01:02:56,419 --> 01:02:59,630
If you're so worried,
you should tell them the truth.
745
01:03:01,090 --> 01:03:05,303
Just tell them the money wasn't to pay him
to murder. It was for the fake labels...
746
01:03:05,428 --> 01:03:06,971
Don't be stupid.
747
01:03:10,766 --> 01:03:12,643
If I told them that,
748
01:03:13,936 --> 01:03:16,147
the factory would go out of business.
749
01:03:20,401 --> 01:03:24,613
If it's making money
out of that disgusting work,
750
01:03:24,739 --> 01:03:26,991
better that it goes out of business.
751
01:03:32,663 --> 01:03:35,207
You sound just like a child.
752
01:03:37,710 --> 01:03:39,754
It's that "disgusting" money...
753
01:03:41,756 --> 01:03:43,883
that raised you this far.
754
01:03:50,139 --> 01:03:51,682
I know that.
755
01:03:56,187 --> 01:03:59,607
You have to testify
at the trial, too, you know?
756
01:04:02,985 --> 01:04:04,737
Listen, OK?
757
01:04:06,197 --> 01:04:08,324
Don't say anything unnecessary.
758
01:04:12,953 --> 01:04:14,455
You hear me?
759
01:04:18,876 --> 01:04:20,920
What's unnecessary?
760
01:04:27,885 --> 01:04:30,638
What? What's unnecessary?
761
01:04:32,973 --> 01:04:34,392
You know...
762
01:04:35,976 --> 01:04:37,978
About the factory...
763
01:04:43,734 --> 01:04:46,195
About your father...
764
01:04:50,408 --> 01:04:51,784
What?
765
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,246
What about my father?
766
01:05:01,335 --> 01:05:07,967
It wasn't just your father's fault.
767
01:05:36,203 --> 01:05:37,872
Hello.
768
01:05:37,997 --> 01:05:39,373
Hello.
769
01:05:39,498 --> 01:05:40,708
Oh, Yuka?
770
01:05:41,625 --> 01:05:45,045
I'm a little busy right now.
771
01:05:52,178 --> 01:05:54,763
Did you get in trouble again?
772
01:05:55,973 --> 01:05:57,558
No, I didn't.
773
01:05:59,059 --> 01:06:00,352
Right.
774
01:06:01,312 --> 01:06:03,481
That's good.
775
01:06:05,816 --> 01:06:09,945
If something happens,
will you come help me again?
776
01:06:14,033 --> 01:06:16,118
Will you?
777
01:06:20,915 --> 01:06:23,209
Sure, I will.
778
01:06:24,335 --> 01:06:25,878
You won't brush me off?
779
01:06:27,254 --> 01:06:30,674
No, I won't.
I'll come help you.
780
01:06:33,594 --> 01:06:38,432
But... that's no excuse
to do something bad.
781
01:06:38,557 --> 01:06:39,892
Don't worry.
782
01:06:42,186 --> 01:06:43,395
Don't worry.
783
01:06:58,410 --> 01:06:59,954
I'm sorry.
784
01:07:01,789 --> 01:07:03,123
For what?
785
01:07:09,213 --> 01:07:10,548
I'm sorry.
786
01:07:13,592 --> 01:07:17,054
I should have spent more time...
787
01:07:21,267 --> 01:07:22,935
All along...
788
01:07:55,509 --> 01:08:00,222
The prosecution will insist
it was murder and burglary,
789
01:08:00,347 --> 01:08:02,224
but bear with it.
790
01:08:03,267 --> 01:08:07,187
As we just practised,
when they question you,
791
01:08:07,313 --> 01:08:12,484
please say, "I never intended
to steal his wallet."
792
01:08:12,610 --> 01:08:14,528
I understand.
793
01:08:14,653 --> 01:08:18,699
And the main culprit is his wife.
794
01:08:19,658 --> 01:08:23,120
She asked you to murder him.
795
01:08:23,245 --> 01:08:25,581
- Yes.
- Right.
796
01:08:28,459 --> 01:08:29,668
Excuse me.
797
01:08:31,295 --> 01:08:34,798
Do you believe that story?
798
01:08:35,341 --> 01:08:36,550
What?
799
01:08:36,675 --> 01:08:41,180
About the theft
and the life insurance.
800
01:08:43,057 --> 01:08:46,977
You don't believe it,
but it's better for winning?
801
01:08:49,980 --> 01:08:54,818
There is that aspect to it.
802
01:08:54,943 --> 01:08:57,071
In terms of legal strategy.
803
01:08:58,364 --> 01:09:02,242
What do you think
is the real motive?
804
01:09:03,786 --> 01:09:05,788
The real motive?
805
01:09:05,913 --> 01:09:09,249
Yes, the true motive.
806
01:09:10,959 --> 01:09:14,838
Or maybe you're not interested
in the truth?
807
01:09:17,132 --> 01:09:18,676
That's not true.
808
01:09:19,802 --> 01:09:22,179
In that case, tell me.
809
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:27,601
In that case,
810
01:09:29,103 --> 01:09:31,146
let me ask you a question.
811
01:09:32,022 --> 01:09:34,692
You want a hint...
Go ahead.
812
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:44,243
That cross.
What does it mean?
813
01:09:50,207 --> 01:09:53,085
Were you judging him?
814
01:09:54,044 --> 01:09:55,546
Judging?
815
01:09:55,671 --> 01:09:57,256
Yes.
816
01:09:57,965 --> 01:09:59,341
His crime...
817
01:10:00,634 --> 01:10:01,844
What crime?
818
01:10:04,722 --> 01:10:06,932
That, I don't know.
819
01:10:13,731 --> 01:10:15,899
I'm not the judge.
820
01:10:17,359 --> 01:10:20,404
I am always the one being judged.
821
01:10:29,163 --> 01:10:32,541
Remember, I told you
one canary got away?
822
01:10:34,168 --> 01:10:35,377
Yes.
823
01:10:35,502 --> 01:10:39,965
I intentionally let it get away.
824
01:10:58,692 --> 01:11:00,569
I wonder if there's someone,
825
01:11:01,695 --> 01:11:04,740
somewhere,
that's playing with our lives,
826
01:11:06,033 --> 01:11:08,619
just like I did with the birds' lives.
827
01:11:11,288 --> 01:11:13,165
If there is, I'd like to meet him.
828
01:11:16,043 --> 01:11:18,128
Meet him and tell him,
829
01:11:21,548 --> 01:11:23,258
it's not fair.
830
01:11:27,304 --> 01:11:28,388
But...
831
01:11:32,226 --> 01:11:35,312
it's not like you've been
treated unfairly.
832
01:11:40,317 --> 01:11:42,528
My father, my mother...
833
01:11:44,112 --> 01:11:45,489
My wife...
834
01:11:46,532 --> 01:11:49,910
They were all perfectly innocent,
but they died from misfortune.
835
01:11:52,037 --> 01:11:54,414
But here I am, still alive.
836
01:11:57,042 --> 01:12:00,087
People's lives get decided for them,
837
01:12:01,463 --> 01:12:03,757
regardless of what they want.
838
01:12:06,927 --> 01:12:08,470
Unfairly!
839
01:12:16,728 --> 01:12:18,939
Where did you hear...
840
01:12:24,111 --> 01:12:25,362
Forget it.
841
01:12:32,411 --> 01:12:33,579
Why...
842
01:12:36,415 --> 01:12:39,167
did you send the judge that postcard?
843
01:12:43,130 --> 01:12:44,840
I always longed to...
844
01:12:48,385 --> 01:12:51,179
have control over people's lives.
845
01:13:27,257 --> 01:13:30,969
This is Court Room 404.
Please send in the defendant.
846
01:13:48,070 --> 01:13:49,613
Unchain him.
847
01:14:00,582 --> 01:14:02,125
All rise.
848
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,230
Court is now in session.
849
01:14:23,355 --> 01:14:26,274
Defendant,
stand by the witness stand.
850
01:14:36,493 --> 01:14:38,870
What is your name?
851
01:14:38,996 --> 01:14:40,580
Takashi Misumi.
852
01:14:41,373 --> 01:14:43,750
Your date of birth?
853
01:14:43,875 --> 01:14:47,379
December 1, 1959.
854
01:14:48,255 --> 01:14:50,716
We will now convene the trial,
855
01:14:50,841 --> 01:14:54,177
in which you stand accused of murder
and burglary and corpse mutilation.
856
01:14:55,053 --> 01:14:58,598
Prosecutor,
please read aloud the charges.
857
01:14:59,391 --> 01:15:00,934
Yes.
858
01:15:04,646 --> 01:15:06,440
Charged facts.
859
01:15:06,565 --> 01:15:09,067
Firstly, the defendant decided
to kill Mitsuo Yamanaka,
860
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:12,738
then aged 50,
and steal money and valuables.
861
01:15:12,863 --> 01:15:16,992
At approximately 12:30am
on October 11th, 2017,
862
01:15:17,117 --> 01:15:18,827
on the Tama River riverbed,
863
01:15:18,952 --> 01:15:22,581
did repeatedly strike the victim
with a wrench.
864
01:15:23,373 --> 01:15:25,250
I ask the defendant,
865
01:15:25,375 --> 01:15:29,921
were there any misstatements
in the charges the prosecutor read aloud?
866
01:15:30,047 --> 01:15:31,757
Yes.
867
01:15:31,882 --> 01:15:35,260
I didn't kill him to steal his wallet.
868
01:15:35,385 --> 01:15:40,432
His wife, Mizue, asked me to kill him.
869
01:15:42,142 --> 01:15:43,477
Your Honour,
870
01:15:44,061 --> 01:15:46,605
in order to refresh
the witness's memory,
871
01:15:46,730 --> 01:15:49,941
I would like to submit
as Defendant's Evidence
872
01:15:50,067 --> 01:15:54,404
the email the witness sent
to the defendant on September 27th.
873
01:15:56,865 --> 01:15:58,116
Proceed.
874
01:16:05,123 --> 01:16:07,667
I'm asking you about this email.
875
01:16:07,793 --> 01:16:11,088
What does "that matter" refer to?
876
01:16:12,214 --> 01:16:14,633
It's about work.
877
01:16:15,550 --> 01:16:17,135
What work?
878
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,764
I don't really know.
879
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,060
My husband was in charge
of everything related to the factory.
880
01:16:26,394 --> 01:16:28,355
Probably an order or something.
881
01:16:36,696 --> 01:16:41,243
The 500,000 yen was
in addition to his salary, right?
882
01:16:42,202 --> 01:16:45,205
I doubt you'd refer to an order
in this manner.
883
01:16:46,206 --> 01:16:47,749
I don't know.
884
01:16:47,874 --> 01:16:51,086
My husband used my mobile
to send it to him.
885
01:16:53,046 --> 01:16:56,633
So the defendant just made it up
that you were hiring him to kill?
886
01:16:58,385 --> 01:17:00,720
I imagine so.
887
01:17:00,846 --> 01:17:05,433
You'd better ask him.
I don't understand it at all.
888
01:17:08,562 --> 01:17:11,731
And didn't you promise him
that if he murdered him,
889
01:17:11,857 --> 01:17:14,818
you'd pay him 10 million yen
from the 80 million in insurance?
890
01:17:14,943 --> 01:17:16,027
I did not.
891
01:17:16,153 --> 01:17:18,155
Wasn't the 500,000 yen
your down payment?
892
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:19,906
That's not true.
893
01:17:20,031 --> 01:17:23,076
At approximately 10:00pm,
last October 13th...
894
01:17:23,201 --> 01:17:24,870
Two days after the crime.
895
01:17:41,052 --> 01:17:43,597
Where is this?
896
01:17:45,390 --> 01:17:47,267
That river bed.
897
01:17:47,392 --> 01:17:49,436
Why are the two of you there?
898
01:17:51,396 --> 01:17:54,274
Misumi had made a bonfire.
899
01:17:54,399 --> 01:17:57,235
I passed him on my way home
from school.
900
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,404
When I told him it was my birthday,
901
01:17:59,529 --> 01:18:02,949
he said, "Let's make
your birthday cake out of snow."
902
01:18:06,036 --> 01:18:08,246
After that, I told him...
903
01:18:09,289 --> 01:18:10,624
Here?
904
01:18:11,166 --> 01:18:12,584
Yes.
905
01:18:13,835 --> 01:18:18,840
When did your father start...
906
01:18:20,967 --> 01:18:22,510
I was 14.
907
01:18:25,055 --> 01:18:30,477
In other words,
it was sexual abuse?
908
01:18:32,604 --> 01:18:33,647
Yes.
909
01:18:35,607 --> 01:18:38,109
It was rape.
910
01:18:41,404 --> 01:18:42,781
That's right.
911
01:18:46,701 --> 01:18:48,411
Misumi...
912
01:18:50,580 --> 01:18:52,290
For me...
913
01:18:55,710 --> 01:18:56,962
That's why...
914
01:18:58,296 --> 01:19:02,842
Misumi and my mother
have nothing to do with each other.
915
01:19:05,303 --> 01:19:10,183
And you want to tell that
to the court.
916
01:19:11,142 --> 01:19:13,979
- Yes.
- To save him.
917
01:19:15,313 --> 01:19:16,356
Yes.
918
01:19:18,900 --> 01:19:23,780
You didn't actually ask him
to kill your father, right?
919
01:19:26,950 --> 01:19:28,285
But...
920
01:19:29,786 --> 01:19:34,040
Somewhere in my heart,
I wanted someone to kill my father.
921
01:19:35,959 --> 01:19:38,837
And Misumi figured that out.
922
01:19:41,965 --> 01:19:45,218
How did he figure it out?
923
01:19:47,804 --> 01:19:49,848
He figured it out.
924
01:19:51,683 --> 01:19:53,059
I know he did.
925
01:19:54,644 --> 01:19:58,189
Where did it happen?
926
01:20:02,152 --> 01:20:03,945
It was...
927
01:20:05,488 --> 01:20:09,117
A hotel? Your house?
That river bed?
928
01:20:09,242 --> 01:20:10,952
Shigemori, don't.
Not now.
929
01:20:11,077 --> 01:20:12,746
It's important.
930
01:20:15,540 --> 01:20:19,544
The prosecutor
will definitely ask you
931
01:20:19,669 --> 01:20:21,296
where and how many times.
932
01:20:23,089 --> 01:20:24,799
I'm prepared for that.
933
01:20:25,675 --> 01:20:28,970
In order to weaken
your testimony's credibility,
934
01:20:29,095 --> 01:20:33,308
the prosecution
will investigate your friends,
935
01:20:34,351 --> 01:20:36,144
if you've ever shoplifted,
936
01:20:36,269 --> 01:20:39,564
all of that,
and bring it all up in court.
937
01:20:41,149 --> 01:20:42,233
I understand.
938
01:20:43,068 --> 01:20:44,652
About your leg, too.
939
01:20:47,405 --> 01:20:49,032
My leg?
940
01:20:49,157 --> 01:20:50,200
Yes.
941
01:20:50,742 --> 01:20:54,079
I hear you lie to everyone
that you injured it
942
01:20:54,204 --> 01:20:55,497
jumping off the roof as a child.
943
01:20:57,290 --> 01:20:59,334
That is not a lie.
944
01:21:00,543 --> 01:21:02,337
I jumped from the roof.
945
01:21:05,131 --> 01:21:10,095
In any case, they'll ask you really tough
questions about all that. Can you take it?
946
01:21:11,262 --> 01:21:13,181
It will be tough.
947
01:21:13,306 --> 01:21:15,016
Will you be OK?
948
01:21:19,896 --> 01:21:22,190
It's been so...
949
01:21:25,402 --> 01:21:28,446
When I couldn't tell anyone...
950
01:21:30,532 --> 01:21:32,325
That was much tougher.
951
01:21:41,167 --> 01:21:43,294
We will be back in touch.
952
01:21:44,504 --> 01:21:45,713
Yes.
953
01:21:49,050 --> 01:21:50,510
A candy for you.
954
01:21:56,516 --> 01:21:58,726
The stairs are steep, be careful.
955
01:22:05,024 --> 01:22:06,109
Excuse me.
956
01:22:08,903 --> 01:22:12,031
Thank you for telling us.
957
01:22:14,325 --> 01:22:15,535
But...
958
01:22:17,912 --> 01:22:19,289
Why...
959
01:22:23,793 --> 01:22:25,253
I...
960
01:22:27,839 --> 01:22:29,424
don't want to...
961
01:22:31,176 --> 01:22:33,636
pretend not to see,
like my mother.
962
01:23:11,341 --> 01:23:13,259
Aren't you going to sleep?
963
01:23:15,261 --> 01:23:17,597
And yourself?
964
01:23:18,306 --> 01:23:21,017
The cold woke me up.
965
01:23:24,604 --> 01:23:28,942
Don't catch a cold.
You're getting old.
966
01:23:29,067 --> 01:23:30,902
Shut up.
967
01:23:31,611 --> 01:23:33,112
You know,
968
01:23:34,781 --> 01:23:40,495
there's that folk tale
from China or somewhere,
969
01:23:41,955 --> 01:23:46,584
about people who can't see,
970
01:23:46,709 --> 01:23:50,964
all touching an elephant.
971
01:23:51,089 --> 01:23:52,549
Right.
972
01:23:53,841 --> 01:23:56,719
And the one that touched the nose
973
01:23:56,844 --> 01:23:59,389
and the one that touched the ear
974
01:24:00,723 --> 01:24:04,352
argue over who's right.
975
01:24:04,477 --> 01:24:06,563
That's the one.
976
01:24:08,064 --> 01:24:11,734
I bet that's how you're feeling now.
977
01:24:12,527 --> 01:24:15,613
You're right.
978
01:24:17,657 --> 01:24:18,866
But...
979
01:24:21,327 --> 01:24:23,037
I wonder...
980
01:24:25,248 --> 01:24:27,834
where I'm touching now.
981
01:24:38,052 --> 01:24:39,887
Did the Judge...
982
01:24:43,266 --> 01:24:45,268
Did he save...
983
01:26:25,910 --> 01:26:27,120
Hello.
984
01:26:31,749 --> 01:26:33,292
Sorry to visit so late.
985
01:26:34,085 --> 01:26:37,213
It's fine. I couldn't sleep anyway.
986
01:26:42,719 --> 01:26:47,473
I'm here to talk about Sakie.
987
01:26:49,767 --> 01:26:51,102
Do you remember this?
988
01:26:55,773 --> 01:27:00,194
February 15th, last year.
The day of the big snowstorm.
989
01:27:01,404 --> 01:27:06,284
You and Sakie took this picture
at that river bed.
990
01:27:07,744 --> 01:27:10,413
On that day,
991
01:27:10,538 --> 01:27:15,710
according to her,
she confessed to you
992
01:27:15,835 --> 01:27:18,921
that her father had been raping her.
993
01:27:21,883 --> 01:27:23,468
I don't remember.
994
01:27:25,928 --> 01:27:27,305
I see.
995
01:27:29,098 --> 01:27:30,308
But...
996
01:27:32,101 --> 01:27:33,978
you do remember this.
997
01:27:36,105 --> 01:27:39,817
The postcard you mailed
to my father.
998
01:27:42,236 --> 01:27:45,948
It's dated February 20th.
999
01:27:46,073 --> 01:27:48,576
Five days after this photo was taken.
1000
01:27:51,078 --> 01:27:52,622
For you,
1001
01:27:54,582 --> 01:27:59,587
Sakie was your surrogate daughter.
1002
01:28:01,756 --> 01:28:06,260
In order to save Sakie,
1003
01:28:07,261 --> 01:28:09,472
you killed her father.
1004
01:28:14,727 --> 01:28:17,772
You intuited her wish to kill him.
1005
01:28:17,897 --> 01:28:20,233
Is that what she's saying?
1006
01:28:20,358 --> 01:28:22,819
That story is a lie.
1007
01:28:23,569 --> 01:28:25,154
Is it a lie?
1008
01:28:27,782 --> 01:28:29,325
Shigemori...
1009
01:28:30,618 --> 01:28:34,497
That girl...
She lies a lot.
1010
01:28:36,415 --> 01:28:42,880
Why would she lie
in order to save you?
1011
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,592
You'll have to ask her that.
1012
01:28:50,012 --> 01:28:52,682
Then tell me one more thing.
1013
01:28:52,807 --> 01:28:54,267
Sure.
1014
01:28:54,392 --> 01:28:56,435
About the day of the crime.
1015
01:28:56,561 --> 01:28:57,603
Yes.
1016
01:29:00,398 --> 01:29:04,068
How did you get your boss
all the way to that river bed?
1017
01:29:05,695 --> 01:29:07,572
- How?
- Yes.
1018
01:29:08,698 --> 01:29:10,241
I mean, he'd fired you.
1019
01:29:12,201 --> 01:29:13,870
I don't mean to offend you,
1020
01:29:14,871 --> 01:29:18,499
but normally, he would never
follow someone like you.
1021
01:29:18,624 --> 01:29:21,502
I told him it was important.
1022
01:29:22,795 --> 01:29:24,672
What was so important?
1023
01:29:31,304 --> 01:29:32,847
The fake labels.
1024
01:29:35,641 --> 01:29:37,018
Fake labels?
1025
01:29:38,811 --> 01:29:40,354
Fake food labels.
1026
01:29:41,480 --> 01:29:43,190
Once a month,
1027
01:29:43,858 --> 01:29:46,611
flour made in some
mysterious location
1028
01:29:46,736 --> 01:29:48,905
was delivered in secret.
1029
01:29:50,281 --> 01:29:54,327
He bought that flour for almost nothing
and switched it.
1030
01:29:56,245 --> 01:29:57,955
It's a dirty business.
1031
01:29:59,332 --> 01:30:03,461
So, that 500,000 yen was...
1032
01:30:06,088 --> 01:30:08,633
It was money for that.
1033
01:30:15,222 --> 01:30:16,557
Why?
1034
01:30:17,558 --> 01:30:19,560
Did you lie?
1035
01:30:28,819 --> 01:30:30,863
Were you judging her?
1036
01:30:32,865 --> 01:30:34,241
That mother...
1037
01:30:39,121 --> 01:30:43,709
who pretended not to see what
her husband did to her daughter?
1038
01:30:50,591 --> 01:30:51,968
Shigemori.
1039
01:30:52,802 --> 01:30:54,178
What?
1040
01:30:56,681 --> 01:30:57,848
No.
1041
01:30:58,599 --> 01:31:00,476
You won't believe me anyway.
1042
01:31:00,601 --> 01:31:02,311
Tell me.
1043
01:31:03,688 --> 01:31:05,106
What is it?
1044
01:31:09,026 --> 01:31:10,569
It's a lie.
1045
01:31:14,031 --> 01:31:15,408
A lie?
1046
01:31:15,533 --> 01:31:16,575
Yes.
1047
01:31:17,493 --> 01:31:20,204
I never went to the river bed.
1048
01:31:21,706 --> 01:31:22,832
What?
1049
01:31:23,874 --> 01:31:28,004
The truth is... I didn't kill him.
1050
01:31:30,631 --> 01:31:32,842
You didn't kill him?
1051
01:31:34,969 --> 01:31:38,514
The truth is, I didn't kill him.
1052
01:31:42,810 --> 01:31:43,853
No.
1053
01:31:45,646 --> 01:31:49,025
But...
Why tell me now?
1054
01:31:51,485 --> 01:31:54,488
Why didn't you deny it from the start?
1055
01:31:55,239 --> 01:31:56,866
I did.
1056
01:31:57,950 --> 01:32:00,161
I told them, I didn't do it.
1057
01:32:01,954 --> 01:32:04,957
To the police, the prosecutor...
1058
01:32:06,292 --> 01:32:07,668
And even the lawyer.
1059
01:32:08,919 --> 01:32:10,171
To the lawyer?
1060
01:32:10,296 --> 01:32:11,505
Yes.
1061
01:32:12,757 --> 01:32:14,967
When he first came to see me.
1062
01:32:16,761 --> 01:32:18,637
To Settsu?
1063
01:32:18,763 --> 01:32:20,097
Yes.
1064
01:32:22,391 --> 01:32:26,270
But... he told me not to lie.
1065
01:32:29,690 --> 01:32:32,318
If I confessed,
I'd avoid the death penalty.
1066
01:32:35,196 --> 01:32:36,572
But...
1067
01:32:38,532 --> 01:32:39,909
But...
1068
01:32:40,034 --> 01:32:44,747
even if you avoid the death penalty,
if you confess, you're back in...
1069
01:32:44,872 --> 01:32:46,582
Rather than...
1070
01:32:48,167 --> 01:32:51,587
living in that factory,
taking advantage of people,
1071
01:32:53,798 --> 01:32:56,592
in prison,
at least I don't have to lie.
1072
01:33:02,890 --> 01:33:04,683
Will you believe me?
1073
01:33:06,185 --> 01:33:07,812
Shigemori.
1074
01:33:11,315 --> 01:33:12,691
But...
1075
01:33:14,944 --> 01:33:16,112
You've told me...
1076
01:33:19,824 --> 01:33:24,453
Now you want me
to believe this story is true?
1077
01:33:26,455 --> 01:33:27,706
Right.
1078
01:33:30,042 --> 01:33:32,711
Just wait a minute.
1079
01:33:34,922 --> 01:33:37,049
You won't believe me.
1080
01:33:38,134 --> 01:33:41,512
Tell me, Misumi,
did someone else come here,
1081
01:33:42,763 --> 01:33:44,598
to see you?
1082
01:33:45,307 --> 01:33:46,809
Tell me!
1083
01:33:46,934 --> 01:33:49,895
No, no one other than you.
1084
01:33:50,020 --> 01:33:51,981
Please!
1085
01:33:53,274 --> 01:33:55,442
Please!
1086
01:33:55,568 --> 01:33:58,279
Tell me the real truth now!
1087
01:34:12,668 --> 01:34:16,088
Don't worry. He can't hear.
1088
01:34:20,759 --> 01:34:22,303
His wallet?
1089
01:34:23,929 --> 01:34:25,472
You stole...
1090
01:34:26,265 --> 01:34:29,560
his wallet, right?
1091
01:34:30,728 --> 01:34:35,274
Yes, I stole it.
The day of the crime,
1092
01:34:38,402 --> 01:34:41,113
I threatened the boss
I'd expose the fake labels.
1093
01:34:43,574 --> 01:34:45,201
The cash?
1094
01:34:48,078 --> 01:34:50,164
I sent it to my daughter.
1095
01:34:52,333 --> 01:34:55,628
The burn on your hand?
1096
01:34:58,255 --> 01:35:00,841
I made a bonfire the night before.
1097
01:35:04,428 --> 01:35:06,639
So that river bed...
1098
01:35:09,266 --> 01:35:11,644
I told you, I never went there!
1099
01:35:15,147 --> 01:35:16,607
Right.
1100
01:35:18,275 --> 01:35:20,778
You never went.
You already told me.
1101
01:35:30,287 --> 01:35:32,164
Will you believe me?
1102
01:35:43,509 --> 01:35:44,927
You...
1103
01:35:47,638 --> 01:35:49,848
are my client.
1104
01:35:54,186 --> 01:35:56,730
So I respect your intentions.
1105
01:35:59,149 --> 01:36:00,192
But...
1106
01:36:03,028 --> 01:36:07,074
Denying the charges now
is bad legal strategy.
1107
01:36:07,199 --> 01:36:10,244
Who cares about legal strategy?
1108
01:36:13,706 --> 01:36:17,418
I'm asking whether
you believe me or not!
1109
01:36:33,851 --> 01:36:35,436
I understand.
1110
01:36:38,897 --> 01:36:40,607
You understand me?
1111
01:36:54,413 --> 01:36:56,206
You'll take the risk?
1112
01:36:58,584 --> 01:36:59,918
You're sure?
1113
01:37:01,712 --> 01:37:02,838
Yes.
1114
01:37:44,046 --> 01:37:47,091
Give me a break!
What? Is that his story now?
1115
01:37:47,216 --> 01:37:48,759
Yeah.
1116
01:37:49,551 --> 01:37:54,098
The lawyer told him he'd avoid
the death penalty if he confessed.
1117
01:37:55,891 --> 01:38:00,229
Ignore him!
He'll just change his story again.
1118
01:38:01,105 --> 01:38:04,400
I agree that we should stress
the importance of Sakie's testimony.
1119
01:38:04,525 --> 01:38:09,696
Which means the three of us
acknowledge he did it.
1120
01:38:09,822 --> 01:38:12,699
But who's going to believe
he didn't actually do it?
1121
01:38:12,825 --> 01:38:15,994
There are no witnesses
to the crime.
1122
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:21,250
The only evidence the prosecution has
is his confession!
1123
01:38:21,375 --> 01:38:24,628
He's gotten scared.
1124
01:38:24,753 --> 01:38:26,422
The trial started,
1125
01:38:26,547 --> 01:38:30,592
and now the death penalty is real,
so suddenly... It happens a lot.
1126
01:38:30,717 --> 01:38:32,928
No, he's not like that.
1127
01:38:33,053 --> 01:38:35,722
- How do you know that!
- I know that.
1128
01:38:36,390 --> 01:38:39,685
This is getting dangerous.
1129
01:38:39,810 --> 01:38:41,103
Dangerous?
1130
01:38:41,562 --> 01:38:43,230
This...
1131
01:38:43,355 --> 01:38:47,067
This is what he's capable of
Look.
1132
01:38:47,192 --> 01:38:49,153
Can a normal human being do this?
1133
01:38:49,278 --> 01:38:53,240
This kind of father
deserves to be killed!
1134
01:38:55,075 --> 01:38:56,618
Deserves?
1135
01:39:03,959 --> 01:39:06,170
That prosecutor is right.
1136
01:39:09,256 --> 01:39:11,258
You're the kind of lawyer
1137
01:39:11,383 --> 01:39:14,636
that gets in the way of
criminals facing their crimes.
1138
01:39:16,221 --> 01:39:17,598
We'll lose.
1139
01:39:19,391 --> 01:39:24,771
The judge will be disgusted.
1140
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:29,735
But...
1141
01:39:30,819 --> 01:39:33,197
as long as he himself denies it,
1142
01:39:34,239 --> 01:39:37,826
as his lawyer,
I have to listen to what he says.
1143
01:39:42,414 --> 01:39:44,500
Please form two lines.
1144
01:39:47,085 --> 01:39:50,547
The surviving family will be asked
questions in today's trial.
1145
01:39:50,672 --> 01:39:53,217
People are forming long lines for tickets.
1146
01:40:19,868 --> 01:40:21,245
Denied it?
1147
01:40:21,370 --> 01:40:22,621
Yes.
1148
01:40:23,580 --> 01:40:25,332
He says he didn't kill him.
1149
01:40:27,793 --> 01:40:29,002
What?
1150
01:40:31,630 --> 01:40:38,095
So, we don't want you
to testify in court,
1151
01:40:38,220 --> 01:40:40,931
that he did it to save you.
1152
01:40:44,643 --> 01:40:45,852
We're sorry.
1153
01:40:51,733 --> 01:40:53,235
I will testify.
1154
01:41:08,625 --> 01:41:09,835
We're sorry.
1155
01:41:13,463 --> 01:41:15,340
Please let me...
1156
01:41:17,175 --> 01:41:18,552
tell the truth.
1157
01:41:26,059 --> 01:41:28,353
Do you want to testify,
1158
01:41:30,856 --> 01:41:33,233
in order to satisfy
1159
01:41:34,151 --> 01:41:36,528
your own righteousness?
1160
01:41:40,073 --> 01:41:41,533
That's not true.
1161
01:41:42,993 --> 01:41:46,413
You want to save Misumi.
1162
01:41:53,837 --> 01:41:55,213
Yes.
1163
01:41:56,048 --> 01:41:57,424
In that case,
1164
01:41:58,759 --> 01:42:01,762
you should place that goal
1165
01:42:03,221 --> 01:42:05,182
above everything else.
1166
01:42:13,732 --> 01:42:17,319
What are your feelings
towards the defendant?
1167
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:22,908
He brutally murdered
your precious father
1168
01:42:23,617 --> 01:42:26,161
to steal his money,
isn't that right?
1169
01:42:31,208 --> 01:42:33,585
I don't believe...
1170
01:42:35,754 --> 01:42:39,341
Misumi killed him to steal money.
1171
01:42:42,177 --> 01:42:44,054
New question.
1172
01:42:44,179 --> 01:42:46,264
What kind of punishment
1173
01:42:46,390 --> 01:42:49,101
do you want for the defendant?
1174
01:42:54,731 --> 01:42:56,942
I do not want the death penalty.
1175
01:43:10,539 --> 01:43:15,794
Do you have anything you want to say
to your departed father?
1176
01:43:19,548 --> 01:43:20,924
Do you?
1177
01:43:31,351 --> 01:43:35,397
I'm grateful that he brought me
into this world and raised me.
1178
01:43:40,861 --> 01:43:45,282
On the night of October 11th,
1179
01:43:45,407 --> 01:43:50,162
you waited in front of the factory
for your boss to arrive, didn't you?
1180
01:43:51,747 --> 01:43:52,914
Yes.
1181
01:43:53,832 --> 01:43:55,542
What was your purpose?
1182
01:43:57,419 --> 01:44:00,964
I wanted to threaten him
to steal his money.
1183
01:44:02,758 --> 01:44:06,136
I was furious because he'd fired me.
1184
01:44:07,888 --> 01:44:09,806
What did you do with his wallet?
1185
01:44:10,432 --> 01:44:12,142
I stole his wallet.
1186
01:44:13,226 --> 01:44:15,645
But that is all.
1187
01:44:17,731 --> 01:44:19,775
I never went to the river bed.
1188
01:44:21,026 --> 01:44:22,402
I didn't kill him.
1189
01:44:24,196 --> 01:44:26,907
This trial is not contesting
defendant's culpability.
1190
01:44:27,032 --> 01:44:28,742
I told them, I didn't do it!
1191
01:44:29,659 --> 01:44:32,537
The prosecutor followed me
to the toilet and said,
1192
01:44:32,662 --> 01:44:35,207
if I admitted to the murder
I'd avoid the death penalty!
1193
01:44:35,332 --> 01:44:37,292
Be quiet.
1194
01:44:37,417 --> 01:44:40,545
Where are your questions leading?
1195
01:44:40,670 --> 01:44:42,547
You're all in this together.
1196
01:44:42,672 --> 01:44:44,716
- I refute his culpability
- Even the lawyer...
1197
01:44:44,841 --> 01:44:47,177
- We contest his culpability
- ...told me to admit it.
1198
01:44:47,302 --> 01:44:49,179
That I'd be spared!
1199
01:44:49,304 --> 01:44:51,890
Defendant, be quiet.
I will order you out of the court.
1200
01:44:52,015 --> 01:44:56,228
Nobody believes anything I say.
So, here and now,
1201
01:44:57,312 --> 01:44:59,523
I want you to listen to the truth.
1202
01:44:59,648 --> 01:45:03,360
Your Honour, I did not kill him!
1203
01:45:07,405 --> 01:45:09,366
- May we?
- Please.
1204
01:45:09,491 --> 01:45:11,618
Counsellor, what is your intent?
1205
01:45:11,743 --> 01:45:14,079
We agreed, the issues are
intent to burgle and sentencing.
1206
01:45:14,996 --> 01:45:18,124
The defendant suddenly
changed his plea.
1207
01:45:18,834 --> 01:45:23,547
What is your position moving forward?
Will you contest his culpability?
1208
01:45:23,672 --> 01:45:26,550
We won't contest any further.
1209
01:45:26,675 --> 01:45:29,219
Yes, we will contest it.
1210
01:45:30,178 --> 01:45:31,888
Which is it?
1211
01:45:32,013 --> 01:45:34,224
We can't take this any further.
1212
01:45:34,349 --> 01:45:36,226
We'll contest it.
1213
01:45:38,353 --> 01:45:40,105
What is your opinion, Prosecutor?
1214
01:45:41,022 --> 01:45:44,192
Defence had not originally
contested culpability,
1215
01:45:44,317 --> 01:45:47,863
so we will have to start over
with a new trial.
1216
01:45:57,664 --> 01:45:59,541
Defence, this...
1217
01:45:59,666 --> 01:46:04,212
I'd like to proceed with
the additional issue of culpability.
1218
01:46:08,675 --> 01:46:11,553
Yes, to continue the ongoing trial...
1219
01:46:13,346 --> 01:46:18,393
I understand the prosecutor's position,
but it is a sudden assertion.
1220
01:46:19,102 --> 01:46:22,022
The defence wishes to continue,
1221
01:46:22,147 --> 01:46:24,566
and we must consider the jury, too.
1222
01:46:24,691 --> 01:46:28,028
No, we must establish culpa...
1223
01:46:45,170 --> 01:46:46,546
Yes.
1224
01:46:48,214 --> 01:46:49,424
Well...
1225
01:46:50,884 --> 01:46:53,261
It's a baseless refutation anyway.
1226
01:46:54,054 --> 01:46:57,390
It's more judicially economical,
as well.
1227
01:46:57,515 --> 01:46:59,476
Judicially economical.
1228
01:46:59,601 --> 01:47:04,272
The prosecution will submit objective
evidence of culpability
1229
01:47:04,397 --> 01:47:08,109
and the trial will continue as is.
1230
01:47:21,706 --> 01:47:25,085
I thought this would require
a whole new trial.
1231
01:47:25,835 --> 01:47:28,630
It seems that's not necessary.
1232
01:47:30,006 --> 01:47:35,428
You all exchanged looks,
like you were in silent agreement.
1233
01:47:37,097 --> 01:47:38,723
The judge signalled
1234
01:47:38,848 --> 01:47:43,269
that doing the whole trial over
wouldn't change his final decision.
1235
01:47:45,730 --> 01:47:49,901
Nobody believes
Misumi didn't kill him.
1236
01:47:51,403 --> 01:47:53,613
It can't be helped.
1237
01:47:53,738 --> 01:47:59,202
The judge has to complete his trials
on schedule to maintain his reputation.
1238
01:48:00,078 --> 01:48:05,667
And we may be on different sides,
but we're all riding the ship called justice.
1239
01:48:38,575 --> 01:48:39,784
Here.
1240
01:48:40,535 --> 01:48:42,078
Food, food.
1241
01:48:46,416 --> 01:48:47,709
Here.
1242
01:48:52,505 --> 01:48:53,798
Here.
1243
01:48:54,507 --> 01:48:56,426
Come.
1244
01:48:56,551 --> 01:48:58,053
Here.
1245
01:49:00,805 --> 01:49:02,932
Come here.
1246
01:49:04,059 --> 01:49:05,393
Eat.
1247
01:49:06,311 --> 01:49:07,645
Come.
1248
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:11,274
- Misumi.
- Yes.
1249
01:49:29,918 --> 01:49:31,920
- Please.
- Thank you.
1250
01:49:32,045 --> 01:49:33,546
Hello.
1251
01:50:04,744 --> 01:50:07,413
I will now pronounce
the verdict
1252
01:50:07,539 --> 01:50:12,293
to the defendant in this murder and burglary
and corpse mutilation case.
1253
01:50:13,628 --> 01:50:15,130
Decision.
1254
01:50:15,255 --> 01:50:17,423
The defendant is sentenced to death.
1255
01:50:18,424 --> 01:50:25,056
The reason the defendant denied
his culpability at trial is irrational,
1256
01:50:25,181 --> 01:50:29,435
and the defendant's defence, that
he threatened and stole the victim's wallet,
1257
01:50:29,561 --> 01:50:33,940
is inconsistent with the evidence,
significantly altered, and not credible.
1258
01:50:34,732 --> 01:50:39,696
Regarding the email,
because there had been no discussion
1259
01:50:39,821 --> 01:50:43,908
between the defendant and Mizue
suggesting the victim's murder,
1260
01:50:44,033 --> 01:50:48,538
and with no mention of murder
in the email,
1261
01:50:48,663 --> 01:50:52,542
interpreting it as a murder request
is sheer speculation.
1262
01:50:52,667 --> 01:50:57,088
Also, although the defendant had
confessed during the investigation,
1263
01:50:57,213 --> 01:51:01,342
at trial, he reversed his plea to denial,
resulting in an inconsistent defence.
1264
01:51:01,467 --> 01:51:03,761
His intention was
to evade all responsibility.
1265
01:51:18,610 --> 01:51:19,986
Thank you.
1266
01:52:52,328 --> 01:52:53,538
I'm sorry.
1267
01:53:00,670 --> 01:53:02,213
It was...
1268
01:53:04,424 --> 01:53:06,301
exactly like he said.
1269
01:53:08,303 --> 01:53:11,389
No one here tells the truth.
1270
01:53:14,017 --> 01:53:15,226
No one?
1271
01:53:23,026 --> 01:53:24,861
Who decides...
1272
01:53:26,654 --> 01:53:28,698
who gets judged?
1273
01:55:12,260 --> 01:55:13,719
The cherry trees...
1274
01:55:16,013 --> 01:55:17,598
outside my apartment.
1275
01:55:18,433 --> 01:55:21,686
The blossoms are really big.
1276
01:55:22,270 --> 01:55:24,063
They'll flower any day.
1277
01:55:25,815 --> 01:55:28,776
The cherry trees bloom
so early here.
1278
01:55:31,821 --> 01:55:33,948
In Hokkaido,
1279
01:55:34,073 --> 01:55:37,160
they bloom around
the end of April, right?
1280
01:55:38,035 --> 01:55:39,454
Yes.
1281
01:55:41,831 --> 01:55:43,958
Around the holiday in early May.
1282
01:55:59,891 --> 01:56:04,479
I've been thinking a lot
about the reason
1283
01:56:06,063 --> 01:56:07,857
you denied the crime.
1284
01:56:12,278 --> 01:56:14,614
If you deny the crime...
1285
01:56:15,948 --> 01:56:17,116
she...
1286
01:56:18,993 --> 01:56:22,413
Sakie doesn't have to testify
about painful things.
1287
01:56:27,084 --> 01:56:28,878
Is that what you thought?
1288
01:56:32,215 --> 01:56:36,594
Is that why you deliberately denied...
1289
01:56:42,642 --> 01:56:44,018
Shigemori.
1290
01:56:45,770 --> 01:56:49,148
Are you asking me that question?
1291
01:56:53,236 --> 01:56:56,572
I guess it's not really a question.
1292
01:57:01,827 --> 01:57:05,081
Can I ask you a question?
1293
01:57:09,710 --> 01:57:11,671
Is that the reason...
1294
01:57:12,713 --> 01:57:14,757
you agreed to my denial?
1295
01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:18,761
Yes.
1296
01:57:20,930 --> 01:57:22,932
Was I wrong?
1297
01:57:29,897 --> 01:57:30,982
But...
1298
01:57:32,650 --> 01:57:34,402
It's a good story.
1299
01:57:36,654 --> 01:57:38,531
A very good story.
1300
01:57:43,494 --> 01:57:47,790
I always thought that
I should never have been born.
1301
01:57:50,334 --> 01:57:53,296
Why is that?
1302
01:57:56,090 --> 01:57:59,635
I hurt the people around me,
1303
01:58:00,595 --> 01:58:03,723
just by existing.
1304
01:58:12,732 --> 01:58:16,736
But if what you just said is true...
1305
01:58:18,613 --> 01:58:19,947
Even I...
1306
01:58:21,490 --> 01:58:24,076
can help someone.
1307
01:58:29,915 --> 01:58:31,542
Even, for instance,
1308
01:58:32,585 --> 01:58:34,629
if that's murder?
1309
01:58:36,047 --> 01:58:37,173
Yes.
1310
01:58:39,258 --> 01:58:42,803
If it's true, that is.
1311
01:58:45,765 --> 01:58:47,183
Does that mean,
1312
01:58:50,102 --> 01:58:51,479
in other words...
1313
01:58:53,522 --> 01:58:58,402
That I just want it to be true?
1314
01:59:01,197 --> 01:59:04,116
You really shouldn't
1315
01:59:04,241 --> 01:59:08,412
expect so much
from a murderer like me.
1316
01:59:14,543 --> 01:59:16,337
Are you...
1317
01:59:19,340 --> 01:59:20,883
just...
1318
01:59:21,967 --> 01:59:23,344
a vessel?
1319
01:59:26,097 --> 01:59:29,392
What's a vessel?
