Original subtitles

In the event a minor commits a serious criminal offense...

police authorities may seek to shield the minor's family...

from excessive media scrutiny and public hostility.

This protection is given to prevent members of the accused's family...

from taking their own lives in response to the trauma.

Such suicides have occurred in the past.

Authorities have not admitted to this practice.

"Nobody to Watch Over Me"

January 24, 3:25 p.m.

Thank you for waiting.

I'll get your change.

You could buy love for that.

Quiet.

It's so not you.

It's for my daughter.

You'd score more points buying that for your wife.

Precisely why it's for my daughter. Now shut up.

Mishima

Get my change.

Katsuura-san!

Where've you been hiding?

You're looking good. Been eating well? Prospering?

Not so fast.

I've been looking for you, Toru.

Know that new Indian restaurant?

Yeah... I mean, no.

You had the nice folks in tears.

I don't know it.

Why don't we talk at my place?

It' II be fun.

I'd rather not.

Then stay away from that shop.

I will.

OK, Mishima. Release him.

Back to your river.

Damn, I crushed it.

Precinct's calling.

Katsuura here.

You think we're needed for that investigation that just opened?

No. It's not our division.

But we're being called in.

Not me. I'm off work in two days.

Family vacation, was it?

Possibly our last one.

Why's that?

My daughter tipped me off that my wife has divorce papers ready.

My blood's curdling.

That explains the nice gift for your daughter.

She's on my side.

She planned the trip to save the family.

That's touching. Can I ask her out?

If you have a death wish.

Now my blood's curdling.

I may be too late.

3:50 p.m.

Listen up! The guy that killed two grade school sisters is only 18.

He's a minor.

Keep that in mind when covering this story.

You're late, Umemoto.

I caught my son's cold.

The teen was arrested in his home.

They're already live!

The two grade sisters were stabbed to death...

in a nearby park last month.

Police are about to arrest an 18-year-old male.

We're outside his home.

Man, they're fast.

So go dig up something good.

I'll hit the victims' parents.

I already sent someone. Check out the suspect's area.

Talk to his family, their friends.

The suspect's?

You broke a government scandal. This should be easy.

Let's move.

I want final drafts in by 1:00 a.m.!

4:35 p.m.

"East Toshima Police Station"

The suspect's family?

Orders from Head of Investigations.

You're to protect the suspect's family.

Come again?

Why protect them? Why not the victim's family?

Like I said, "orders."

What do we protect them from, Chief?

You'll see.

Chief! I put in a request for a vacation starting day after tomorrow.

Cancel it.

I left good whiskey on your desk.

Where'd you get that?

It was forced on me. I don't take money.

This won't take two days. Let's go!

Chief!

If the trip is off...

the family is done for.

My blood's curdling.

5: 14 p.m.

What's this?

Moments ago, the man believed to have murdered two school girls...

is an 18-year-old boy who lives with his family in this home.

Word is he has just been arrested.

The 18-year-old boy has just been arrested.

This is what you protect against.

The media will prey on the suspect's family.

It could drive some to suicide.

But we need them alive for questioning.

Understood?

Coming through.

We're reporting live. The front door just opened!

He's appeared! The suspect, the young man, has appeared!

What was your motive?

Why'd you do it?

Apologize!

Did you target the sisters?

Did you know them?

Back door!

Hey, Mishima!

Violent Crime Division, East Toshima Precinct here.

Good, we've been waiting.

Come in. Quickly.

Keep it down!

A complaint.

Disconnect the phone. And the doorbell.

Get me a screwdriver.

Not our boy!

It's not possible. This is ridiculous.

It's some kind of mistake! Naoto wouldn't harm anyone.

Do you know what kind of life your son was leading?

I was a strict parent.

How's it outside?

Swarming with press.

They're having a field day!

They've arrived.

I'm from Family Court.

Toshima Ward Office.

Hurry.

The daughter?

What's going on?

Saori.

Saori!

Please, dear.

Before we begin the questioning, please know that...

we're here to protect you from the mass media onslaught.

Now, although your son is a minor...

it's possible his real name will be made public.

You may be viewed as the "killer's family" wherever you go.

We advise a divorce now to return your wife to her maiden name.

Divorce?

Just as a prudent measure.

We've brought the papers for you to sign.

Now hold on a second.

Sign here.

Murderer!

Show yourself, Funamura!

Come out and apologize!

Sign here.

People furious with your son will follow you.

They'll follow you forever.

Okay, ma'am.

OK, the divorce is finalized. Now for the new marriage registration.

We'll now enter the husband's name on the wife's family register.

Sign here.

Ma'am, here.

On this line.

As "Ono", yes.

Your family name has been changed from "Funamura" to "Ono."

Your son will remain on the old family register. Sign here, please.

I'm from the Education Board. Sign this, too.

Ordinarily, court permission is required.

But the court approves this divorce and marriage under a special provision.

That is all.

The daughter, too, assumes her mother's maiden name of "Ono."

Wait.

What is it?

What about my brother's name?

The police will announce it as "Funamura."

So he alone gets left with a different name?

He's family. We can't do that.

I'm afraid you can't attend school for a while.

Why? Why can't I go to school?

I'll confirm the paperwork over there.

We will be separating you for your own safety.

Take the father to the Tango Hotel for questioning. Avoid the media.

Take the girl to the Felicity Hotel. Don't forget a change of clothes.

A hotel? Not back to the precinct?

The media is already there. We don't want them photographed.

Plus, they are not suspects.

Questioning a minor at the station risks a civil rights infringement.

Understood.

Shall we go?

Mom, wait for him to come home. Let's wait for him here.

Mom?

Your mother will help us search the house.

Mishima, get the car.

Get what you need.

No, I want to stay. I have to stay!

Mom!

There's no time.

No!

Mom!

Don't run off! Apologize to the victims' family!

Who was in the car?

The father!

The others are leaving, too!

Where are they?

Umemoto-san! They're moving the family!

We're going to the car.

It's the sister!

Clear the way!

You're his sister, right?

Let us through!

Tell us about your brother!

Katsuura-san!

Clear the road!

Were you two close?

Tell us about him!

What was he like?

Just a word or two!

Mishima! Go!

Move!

I'll run you over!

Follow them!

I know that detective.

Media's on our tail. Lose them.

Mishima.

Damn!

Police! Close the lot!

"No Vacancy"

You're not full!

Open up!

We'll pay for any photo of the suspect!

10,000 yen!

Umemoto-san! Cop cars have been spotted outside a Shinjuku hotel.

They must've moved the family there!

I've seen that detective before.

7:35 p.m.

9Room 930... 930.

Who is it?

Detective Katsuura.

Enter.

It's okay.

Have a seat.

Sit here.

What?

Just some questions.

What do you remember about Thursday, December 6?

That morning.

Did your brother speak to you?

Try to remember!

Open up!

We know she's in there. Let us talk to her!

What now?

Get her out and call us later.

Mishima!

Let's go.

What're you doing?

Move aside!

Let us interview her!

Give her room.

Why the escort?

Hey, watch it!

- What's her brother like? - How should I know?

People want to know!

No photos!

Why take photos of me?

They'll hound you forever, remember?

Gotcha.

Head toward Suginami Ward.

Yes, Sir.

We're going to your relatives. They'll hide you.

"Random Stabbing in Ikebukuro"

Hey, Sayama!

I need a cop's address.

I'll try.

I think I can get an interview with the cop who took the girl.

9:30 p.m.

Not here, too.

Auntie?

Hello? Katsuura here.

We can't go to the relatives.

What?

Where now?

Don't know yet.

They want you back at the house.

They're shorthanded.

What about her?

Come.

Where are we?

Get out.

10:08 p.m.

This is your place?

Come in.

Quickly! Don't just stand there.

Inside.

This is Katsuura. Where do I take the sister?

We're looking. Hide until we call you.

Hello? Hello?

We have to sit tight and wait for orders.

I forgot something.

Forgot what?

My cell phone.

Where?

Home. Can I get it?

Nope. You'll be seen.

If the police find it, will they look at it?

Do you email your brother?

No.

It's got personal stuff.

I'd die of embarrassment.

My girls were so looking forward to going skiing next month.

They just happened to be there.

Why'd they have to die for it?

I've lost everything.

I got the detective's address!

From a police press club reporter.

Detective Katsuura lives apart from his family.

10:50 p.m.

One more.

Funamura

Check this, too.

Gotcha.

Find anything?

Open the ceiling.

Katsuura-san!

What're you doing here?

Where's the sister?

She's safe with someone.

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Are you a cop?

Non.

Family?

Non.

Then who?

He said you'd die if they read your email.

Found it.

Check her email.

Kids these days are wanton.

And this is what it leads to.

My kid does the same thing.

Really. I'd shoot any boy she brings home.

Just email from friends.

This bodyguard thing may drag out.

How so?

Her brother isn't talking at all.

No confession yet?

We thought he'd break quickly.

His prints are on the weapon, and he was seen with the victims.

What does the father say?

That he ran a disciplined household.

He didn't spare the rod when helping the kid cram for exams.

But he knew nothing of the crime.

There's nothing that'll elicit a quick confession.

I'll see ya.

Katsuura-san.

A message from the Chief.

The folks weren't home, but the sister was.

She must've seen him.

Yeah?

You're to get a statement from her before the investigators.

I'm just supposed to guard her.

It's not that simple. Chief is looking to move up the ladder.

A career move, huh?

My blood's curdling.

Ma'am?

Ma'am?

What's going on?

Locked herself in.

Ma'am?

Are you all right, ma'am?

Please open up, ma'am.

We're opening the door.

Can you hear me, ma'am?

Give it here.

Get back!

Mishima! Help me!

What's going on?

The mother's killed herself.

She breathing?

No, she's not.

Call an ambulance!

What were you doing?

Call an ambulance, idiot!

Stay with me!

- Call HQ? - Not yet.

Well, do it! Now!

Breathe!

I told you to watch her!

Sorry.

Nothing.

Come on!

Damn it!

Welcome back!

Her privacy's intact. Now she won't kill herself.

You be quiet.

Be nice. I'm here as a favor.

Doctor, a word.

Oui. I'm a doctor. He's my patient.

"Was that your brother on TV?"

Her mother?

Yeah. We couldn't save her.

She doesn't know yet?

Should I tell her?

You're a psychiatrist. Tell me.

Tough call. She could panic.

But she'll find out sooner or later. I'll tell her.

Thanks.

Let's go to my place. I have sedatives if we need them.

You okay?

Yeah.

"Wow, your brother, a killer? He was so quiet."

Don't worry, Saori.

Hop in.

Driver, follow that car.

12:25 a.m.

Saori? Can we talk?

Feel okay?

Yeah.

Maybe you could tell me what's going through your mind right now.

What do you want?

Saori, I have to tell you something about your mother.

Is she still at home?

Please let me see her.

Saori, listen...

From Tatsuro.

Hello?

I read about it on the Internet. You all right?

Yeah.

Where are you?

I'm with a policeman.

Did your brother... really do it?

And your mom...

My mom what?

You don't know? She committed suicide.

It was on the news.

Tatsuro?

My parents. I'll call again later.

My mom?

Saori?

Is my mom dead?

I was just...

Really?

You knew? But you didn't tell me?

I was about to.

Why didn't you tell me?

How could she? She was with the police, right?

What were they doing?

Please...

I hate them!

Listen!

She hung herself in the bathroom. I tried to revive her, but it was too late.

I want to see her. Where is she?

I can't.

No. I will see her!

Saori, wait!

Easy, Saori! Breathe!

Why did you do this to us?!

She didn't do anything wrong!

Neither did I!

My brother committed the crime, right? Give me back my mother!

Get her back!

Get her back!

You have to get her back!

Yes?

We know who's with you.

Police.

I know. Detective Katsuura.

You are?

Umemoto of the Towa Newspaper.

How'd you find us?

You have the sister. Talk to us.

Don't.

Let us see her.

She's not involved.

Yes, she is. She's family. She should apologize.

Forget it.

Find something else to cover.

We just might.

Like what you did three years ago.

You let a crazed drug addict walk the streets.

An innocent child got killed.

What's your point?

That you shelter criminals for your investigations.

And you use tax money to do it.

Look at the mess it creates, too. Your responsibility is to us!

The victims have a family, too!

They want the killer's family to atone for what happened!

To pay with their very lives!

What, you want the girl dead?

It's only natural she be punished.

Get the hell out of here.

I'll be back tomorrow.

I put her to sleep. She'll be out until morning.

She's still struggling to understand her situation.

How to deal with her brother... and her mother's death.

Too much for a 15-year-old.

Here, cold medicine. Caught it from your son, huh?

Yeah, he never leaves the house.

Isn't he in middle school?

He doesn't go.

He gets bullied.

I'm sorry.

The school abandons him, and protects the bullies.

Like the police.

2: 10 a.m.

"Sister Homicides Special Investigations"

"Naoto Funamura"

What are you doing here?

Awaiting my next orders.

There won't be any.

What?

We'll handle the sister.

Did she say anything?

How could she? We were too busy running.

Well, hurry and get something on her brother.

Get it yourself. I'll bring her in.

Your family vacation?

That's not it!

I've no place to hide her. And getting statements is not my job.

It is now.

Any proof of her brother's guilt.

Then call me. I'll give it to Special Investigations.

Then let me take her to see her mother.

Not before her statement. Use that to get her talking.

I'm out.

I'm not interested in helping you score points.

Katsuura!

We failed to protect her mother!

The press is taking us to task for "protecting criminals."

Besides, I can't protect anyone.

You're in the morning paper.

Over an old can of worms.

It led to a suspension once. This time, you could lose your badge.

"Police Criminal Protection: What Justice?"

I'm moving in.

Don't worry. I'll take care of you this time.

Take the sister and leave Tokyo.

Go somewhere the media isn't.

7:20 a.m.,

Day Two Under Protection

Morning.

Know where you're going?

Saori, if you need a friend, call me.

What's that?

Present for my daughter.

I see.

No skipping out on your counseling.

I won't.

Stay with her till it's over, will you?

"Toshima sister slayings"

"Another killing by a minor..."

"No mercy for murderers!"

"Hang the kid!"

"Any information appreciated!"

"We won't stand for this!"

"Don't mess with us!"

"The perp's name is Naoto Funamura, 18."

"From 'Daimajin'"

"Got his name!"

"Suspect's address is 4-7-14 Takada!"

"Great work guys!"

"Bad eggs, man!"

"Posting a photo of the perp!"

"Expose the hell out of 'em!"

Not hungry, huh?

You've got to keep your strength.

So you're 15.

Still a child, but facing adulthood.

So I'll treat you as an adult, okay?

Granted, your situation is harsh.

I wish I could do something to help.

But my job is to keep you hidden.

You know your job, right?

It's to tell me about your brother.

He refuses to speak.

He's admitted nothing.

Really?

On the day of the crime, you were at home, right?

What did you see when he came home?

In the grade school sister murders that has gripped the nation...

an 18-year-old boy has been arrested.

Soon afterwards, the suspect's mother committed suicide...

which is raising questions about police handling of the situation.

A newspaper column this morning about police mishandlings...

Excuse me. Could you change the channel?

Including one 3 years ago in which a 4-year-old boy was stabbed to death...

by a drug-addled man, all under the watch of a police detective...

who had been tailing the man.

The case drew criticism as police neglect of public safety.

Sources say that same detective is currently in charge of...

protecting the anonymity of the suspect's sister.

Should the police be giving aid to the suspect's family members?

Let's go.

Come on.

Don't forget that the mother killed herself while surrounded by police.

This was an egregious and careless mistake.

What?

Stop staring.

Fine, suit yourself.

Run off, then. Go take care of yourself.

But out there...

no one will look after you.

Hello?

Dad?

Mina.

Sorry I didn't return your email.

Ready for the trip?

I'm still working.

You reserved the B&B, right?

I'm protecting a girl.

A girl?

About your age.

Dad?

I'm leaving Tokyo.

What? We leave tomorrow!

I'll call you later.

It's too dangerous. I'm arresting him.

Not yet. Follow him to his dealer.

I have to!

No!

I lost him.

Damn it!

Damn it!

"Cops hiding the devil's sister."

"He has a sister?"

"Give her the chair!"

"The family's guilty, too!"

"Any word on the cop?"

"I condemn him, too, for harboring criminals."

"Don't worry. I'll find them."

"Give me more info!"

1:40 p.m.

Welcome back.

Nice to see you again.

Your reservation's for tomorrow.

I know but...

Bring your family this year?

Ah, just you and your daughter?

She's not my daughter.

Actually, I'm on duty. She's in my custody.

Can you lodge us?

Of course.

I've nowhere else to go.

Here you are.

I'm sorry I didn't have anything ready.

You're in Room 205 upstairs.

Katsuura-san is next door.

Aren't your wife and daughter coming?

When I finish work.

That's too bad. Kumiko was looking forward to meeting them.

I wanted them to meet you, too.

It would've been the perfect chance to explain "the incident" to them.

We've been over this. It wasn't your fault.

I blame the police force.

You were just following orders.

And every year, you come to pay your respects to our son.

She's tied to that murder case.

Yes.

The suspect's sister.

I see.

She's done nothing.

But she'll never be able to escape who she is.

I see her as a victim in this case, too.

I can't pretend to know what she's going through.

A II I know is I need your help.

That was delicious.

Thank you.

There's more.

No, thanks.

How about dessert?

Saori?

I'll be in my room.

We see all kinds of guests here.

We sure do... after three years.

We're doing all right.

Except in winter when we get no customers at all.

We end up thinking about Hayato.

How he'd be starting first grade... buying him school supplies.

I tell her to stop it.

But we also can't forget.

During such times, the two of us...

have a good cry.

It's no use.

With just the two of us, we're constantly grappling with his death.

But not confronting it would spell defeat.

And we're not losers.

How can we be if we haven't done anything wrong?

So we tell each other to keep pushing on.

I shouldn't have come.

But it's your work.

Providing lodging is our work. We don't choose our guests.

Katsuura-san. Just remember how important your family is.

We can't regain what we had. But you can.

I know you'd be with your family if it wasn't for work.

The smell of the ocean breezes soothe the soul.

We're still hanging together... by a few threads.

"Takumi Katsuura"

"Got the name of the bodyguard!"

"Any leads on their whereabouts?"

"He's guilty, too!"

"Got the sister's name."

"Saori Funamura"

Dad?

You still working?

We'll have to postpone the trip.

Where are you?

At the B&B we reserved.

But you can't come here.

Where's your mother?

Mina.

Don't blame me if it's over!

7:15 a.m.,

Day Three Under Protection

Yeah.

It's Mishima! Got a computer?

A computer?

Good morning!

Can I borrow your computer?

Sure.

Got it? Click on the "sister murder case" thread.

What, a BBS?

What is this?

"They're at the Honjo B&B in West Izu."

How'd they find us?

Someone posted it.

This "Daimajin" is getting people to supply info.

"The cop's address is..."

That's my home.

These guys will stop at nothing.

Erase it! Can't you delete it somehow?

We got "Daimajin's" address from the service provider.

We're headed there now.

Hey! Hold it!

Dad?

Mina?

There's a sign outside the house.

It says "Death to those who harbor murderers!"

Is that what you're doing? Can't you stop that?

Someone's at the door!

Where's mom!?

She's here, but she's scared!

Stay indoors and disconnect the phone! Got it?

I'm scared, Dad!

Daimajin, defamation is a crime, you know.

He's under arrest and we're shutting down the BBS. Don't worry.

They're harassing my family. Send help.

Gotcha!

It must've been painful.

The girls were stabbed to death.

Just like my son.

Could you leave, please?

I understand how you feel but...

I can't stand having a murderer's family member here.

Keisuke-san...

You called her a victim.

But to us, she's the killer's sister.

I know, but...

the police couldn't protect my son.

But they can a killer's family?

What's with the police, anyway?

Don't you see?

We lost everything to a brutal criminal.

He'll be back on the street someday, but our son won't!

And still...

To you, the families of the victim and killer are the same.

Please leave.

I don't even want to see your face. Leave!

Dear.

What was that?

Get back!

Who are they? What do they want?

To gawk.

Who told them?

I don't know. Only the police should know.

Who told them? And why?

It can't be.

Saori!

Open the door.

Open up!

Get away!

Did you expose our whereabouts?

I might have. I'm the sister of a killer, right?

Why?

Why make trouble for yourself!

Open up!

I'm causing trouble for you! It's your fault!

My fault? How?

You took my mother from me! My whole family!

And then you talk of your own family!

9:50 a.m.

Where were you?

Trying to talk to a police chief.

But I got only evasive comments.

Their hideout is all over the Net.

Look.

They're at this B&B.

Here, too.

The detective.

Look at all this.

No mercy.

They've posted everything.

That's illegal. Why haven't they been shut down?

Too hard to control.

And the police sometimes get good leads from this stuff.

Disgusting.

Looks like we'll have a busy summer.

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

So she spilled the beans, huh?

Yeah, to spite me.

I see.

Please.

I'm at a loss.

You were the only one she could spite.

She's lost her mother.

She had to take it out on someone.

And it was you.

It was the same with me.

After our son's death, I was hard on Kumiko.

For failing to protect Hayato.

She wasn't to blame.

I was horrible.

You may be right.

Both families share something.

They've both lost people whom they'd give up their lives for.

3:05 p.m.

What'd you need my photo for?

Yo.

You've drawn a crowd.

Why're you here?

The brother still won't talk. So time's up.

I'll question her.

Where is she?

Hold it.

Katsuura-san...

about your house.

My wife and daughter?

They're fine. Cops are on guard.

You were home on that day.

Your folks were out.

Your brother came home around 7 p.m.

Was there any blood on him?

You saw him, right?

I was in my room.

Don't lie.

You saw him covered in blood.

I don't know.

Answer me.

Do you know what he's done?

If you don't cooperate, you'll be guilty, too.

I don't know anything.

Don't be a brat.

This one's rotten, too.

8:25 p.m.

Answer me straight!

You saw your brother, right?

You knew what he did.

Who's that?

I'm a friend of Saori's!

Let me in!

Open up! I'm a friend of Saori's!

Tatsuro!

I was worried about you.

Roll up your pants.

I'll do it.

He checks out.

Her boyfriend.

Fine.

How'd you find me?

Online.

How'd you get hurt?

I fell. I was trying to avoid being seen.

I came through the hills.

That's lame.

You must be cold.

Thank you.

My e mail?

I got it.

I figured you didn't want to see me.

My parents said not to call you.

But I just had to come.

What do we do?

Let him stay the night.

We've got room.

I'm calling headquarters.

True love at 15, huh?

You'd better leave in the morning.

Yes, Sir.

Suddenly, business is booming.

Like this?

It'll hang loose.

I don't care.

Take a look at this.

This BBS.

I thought you closed it down.

It's another one.

They're persistent.

Daimajin?

Wait, we caught him.

There's more than one.

Tama got food stuck in his throat.

No way!

Are the cops being a pain?

Do you know why they want to talk to you?

So they can give your brother the death penalty.

The death penalty?

Don't worry. I won't leave you.

Katsuura-san! Come quick!

They're gone! You let them escape!

Katsuura-san!

Where were you?

Follow me.

Where?

I'm looking for someone.

Thanks.

What's wrong?

Why here?

It's warm.

Tatsuro?

Sit here.

I'll be right back.

Where you going?

Just stay here, okay?

Promise me.

Wait!

"Live feed of killer's sister!"

"From a hotel room!"

"Real time! Live!"

Where is she?

Beats me. I don't hang with murderers!

You bastard!

Where is she? Tell me!

There!

In that hotel!

Saori!

You all right?

What're you doing? Where's Tatsuro?

"Damn cop!"

"Show us more!"

What's that?

"Feed down."

I was being filmed?

Tatsuro did this?

He used you to get Net fame.

Not Tatsuro.

What's this world coming to?

Who're you?

Hands off my computer!

This thing's expensive!

What're you looking at?

Get 'em!

Hold it!

Stop!

Let's go back.

How long will this go on?

Do I have to run forever?

I'd rather be alone.

I want to be alone.

You can't.

You're not alone.

Even if your brother's a criminal, he's family.

You're not alone.

You hurt?

Are you?

You're bleeding.

My brother was in pain.

We were always close.

He comforted me when I cried.

But from middle school, he was forced to spend all his time studying.

We stopped talking.

He came to me just once.

Help me, he said.

Dad beat him for falling grades.

He was screaming for help.

He never left his room.

He looked sad.

I couldn't stand it.

On that day...

he returned home...

and washed his bloody hands in the bath.

He...

I heard him... crying for help.

Calling to me.

I couldn't do anything.

I went to my room and closed my eyes.

Trying to forget.

When I heard he wasn't talking to the police...

I decided that I wouldn't, either.

You wanted to protect him.

Listen to me, Saori.

Now you need to protect your family.

My family?

Yeah.

Your brother and your father.

I can't.

You must.

I don't want to see my father.

He caused this.

Your father, too.

By doing so...

you feel their pain.

It's not an easy thing to do.

It hurts.

But...

that's how you'll survive.

Understand?

Your mom was holding this.

You have to live.

The site still active?

No, it's quiet.

But this one isn't.

A murder in Shinagawa? They're flocking there now?

Short attention spans.

Shall we cover it?

Well?

Know what?

I got the ball rolling.

I was the first to cover the sister, right?

You were.

I thought I could keep it.

But it quickly rolled away.

And no one can catch up to it.

I'll investigate Tatsuro Sonobe.

We'll catch the others.

Thanks.

I'll take Saori to the police station.

Let her see her mother.

Mishima...

Aren't you coming?

I'm taking leave of absence.

Katsuura-san.

You'll be back, right?

Why wouldn't I be?

I'd hate to see you cry.

That'll make your blood curdle.

So you saw your brother return?

I'm taking off.

He asked for your help as he washed his bloodied hands.

You didn't respond, but returned to your room.

Is that right?

Katsuura-san!

Thanks for everything.

Shall I call Saori?

No.

Bring your family next time.

I'd completely forgotten.

That won't do.

Promise us... with your family.

We'll be waiting.

Okay.

Katsuura-san!

I forgot to tell you.

We're expecting.

Come on back.

You forgot this.

Thank you for everything.

Bye.

Hello, Mina? It's Dad.

Sorry I didn't call sooner.

You all right?

Good.

Listen... I have a present for you.
