The Proof of the Man

Kyoko...

Kyoko Yasugi's Fashion Show

We've reached 42nd floor.

We've reached 42nd floor.

Observation deck.

We've reached the top floor, sir.

Si-to-ha.

Take the elevator.

Yes.
- Yes.

Is there a staircase here?
- Yes.

Where?

Miyatake, come here.
- Yes.

Show the detective to the stairs.

This way please.

It's a tough job being a detective.

Thank you...

Who's the victim?

His passport.

He's American.

Johnny Hayward.

Born on 28th October, 1950.

Mr. Detective, could we take a break?

We still have a long way to go.

Mr. Detective.

We need to wait for the autopsy
to know the details.

Internal bleeding of the chest,

he died from suffocation.

Mr. Detective, I can't take it.

Dying here.

Can't take it anymore...

Go and report that it's fine here.
- Yes.

Wait, who are you?

Can't you see my badge?

Munesue from Kojimachi Police Station.

The victim's called Johnny Hayward,
he's Black.

Have you heard of this name?

No, and he's not one of the models.

Maybe he's a guest at the fashion show.

He said "si-to-ha", and fell.

Si-to-ha?

Si-to-ha?

His head was down,
and couldn't stand up straight.

I thought he's drunk.

Sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Takashi Niimi.

Where do you work, Mr. Niimi?

I'm a manager at Toyo Technology.

And this is?

My wife.

This should be the crime scene.

Alright, let's split up and look.
- Yes.

Check this out, Chief.

Isn't this a straw hat?

Hold on; straw hat...

The victim said "si-to-ha"
before he died,

maybe he meant straw hat.

That's possible.

Si-to-ha, straw hat.

Are you sure?

The victim walked from

here to the hotel.

Looks like a straw hat.

The victim was stabbed on the chest,

and things got unclear.

To him, that looks like a straw hat.

It's raining.
Let's try to find any evidence

before the rain gets heavier.

Hurry.
- Yes.

Mr. Driver

Please stop at the lights up ahead.

Sure.

It's raining,
let me give you a lift home.

No. What if someone spots us?

Naomi.

Naomi.

Idiot.

Could you turn back there?

Hold tight, stupid.

Naomi.

I think we should express ourselves,

enjoy the fun in fashion.

Your design has lots of charisma.

You think? I'm just bold in
using prime colours.

I heard you got inspiration from
the pictures drawn

by your son in his childhood.

Yes. Children have a fresh outlook.

Today we've invited your son.

Welcome.

What do you think of
your mother's designs?

I never expected her thinking
to be so youthful.

Frankly, I'm a bit shocked.

Shocked?

Talking about shock,

there was a murder last night,

when you were holding your fashion show.

You must be shocked.

Tsuyuki will now give us a full report.

The victim was Johnny Hayward,

he was born in New York in
Showa 25th year.

This is his photograph.

He arrived Japan on 24th April;

three days later became his last night.

He was murdered at
Asakasa's Royal Hotel.

After being stabbed on the chest,

he walked from Shimizudani Park

to the 42nd Floor of Royal Hotel.

Why would he do that?

According to sources,
he can't forget about a straw hat.

This is the straw hat

we found at Shimizudani Park.

The Royal Hotel

looks like a straw hat at night.

Also, before his death,

he said "si-to-ha"

that's "straw hat".

At this point,

we are still not sure what's
his connection with the straw hat.

The victim was holding another
special item,

this is it.

But of course this is another copy,

it's "Yaso Saijo's poem collection"

published in Showa 22nd year.

Hello, studio.

I'm watching your show.
- Yes.

I saw the victim

last night at Shimizudani Park.

And your name is?

I work as a waiter at Shinjuku's
Aisa cafe.

Get the cars ready.
- Yes.

Move away...

I guess it was around seven,
seven thirty.

We wanted to take a break at the park.

Hey! Leave us alone.

Si-to-ha.

We thought he's drunk.

Yes.

Did you see anyone else?

When we walked across

the Benkei Bridge three minutes before

We saw a woman walking out of the park,

got into her car and drove away.

What kind of a woman?

Age and dress?

She was wearing an evening dress.

But it's too dark, I couldn't see
properly.

What's the make of the car?
License plate?

It's a white Crown.

I'm not sure about the license plate.

You're home.
- I'm home.

You're back.

Morning.

Sit down, Kyohei.

You look serious, what's wrong?

Do you remember this vase?

Why did you take things from home

and sell to the antique shops?

What's the difference between you
and a thief?

Kyohei.

You can just tell me if you need money.

Why resort to such stuff?

What was that look?

Say what's on your mind.

Stand still, why do you always run?

That's why I said you're useless.

All you do is lecture me!
I've had enough.

Kyohei.

If I was a thief,

then you must be a robber!

Politicians are robbers!

Even this vase,

wasn't it a bribe from someone?

How can you be so rude to your father?

He's not qualified to be a father.

He has a bunch of mistresses
and children outside,

why does he think he can lecture me?

Kyohei, you shouldn't say that.

Mum, you're low.

You know he is having an affair,

and you still wouldn't let go.

You're protecting yourself, I guess.

Kyohei, criticising others

doesn't mean you are right.

Where's this bike from?

It's Katsu's. The papers.

Don't worry, no news about that.

I dropped your pocket watch

on the road though.

Don't give me that look!

I panicked.

Hop on.

Your mum will lecture you?

Shut up, hop on.

Where are we going?

Find the pocket watch,

before someone else does.

(Junko Bar)

Welcome.

What's wrong?

Naomi didn't come home last night.

Though she comes home late sometimes,

but she's never spent the night outside.

Naomi took a day off yesterday.

How's that possible?

Around 5pm yesterday, she said

she's going to work.

You tell him, Kimiko.

Yes, I remember.

She called around six,

and said she's not feeling well,
needed a day off.

I took the call.

Welcome...

Naomi said these are gifts
from a client.

Which client?

I'm not sure about her relationship

with the clients off work.

You would know.

Who's the client Naomi is especially
close with?

Especially close... I guess not.

What do you think, Mamasan?

Yes, Naomi is a decent woman.

She's always been very proper at work.

That's right.

Mamasan.

I'm Naomi's husband.

Your investigation reports on the
victim's belongings.

Kusaba, you first.

Yes.

About the murder weapon,

an Arrow brand fruit knife,

three thousand were produced in
Showa 51 st year.

As for the straw hat,

we know it's made in Japan.

But we haven't found out who's
the manufacturer.

It should be a product in
Showa 22nd year.

And one more item,

Yaso Saijio's collected poems,

same as the straw hat,

it was produced in Showa 22nd year.

It's out of print.

End of report.

A piece of updated news regarding
the straw hat.

The customs at Haneda Airport
remembered that

he placed the straw hat in a black box.

They were curious as to

why the victim took the hat so seriously.

It's likely that he brought the book
from U. S. Too.

But we still don't know

why he brought such things over.

Report to me right away,

should you find anything regarding
the hat and the book.

As for the white Crown,

there are 300, 000 of those manufactured.

I'm afraid it's hard to find out
the owner.

I plan to set up signs in the area

asking locals to provide

information regarding the woman
and the car.

The victim is not on the list
of drug addicts.

And I've talked to some drug addicts
and users,

no news for now.

I'll keep looking into that,

and check if it has anything to do
with the Yakuza.

End of report.

Yamaji
- Here.

Report the news from Interpol.

Yes.

Johnny Hayward.

Born on 28th October, 1950

at No. 113, West 125th Street.

H is father Wilshire Hayward,

born in 1925, age- 52 years.

Mother was Teresa Nord,

she died in 1960.

H is current address is No. 167
East 123rd Street.

That's all.

What a terrible report.

To them,

a black guy is nothing!

If it's a person's name,

it could be written out
in Kanji like this.

But there isn't a place called
"Kiss Me" in Japan.

I've listed all the names with
similar pronunciation.

Chiba's Kuju,

Kyoko's Kuju, Osaka's Kizuri,

Ehime's Kisuki

Shimane's Kisuki

six places.

Don't make any mistakes,
we just have two weeks left.

Got it.

Teacher, the young master is here.

What are you doing here?

You gave me a pocket watch

for my birthday last year.

The one with the music as alarm?

Where did you buy it?

I want to buy another one.

You're here because of that?

Teacher, your call.

Be right there.

Can we talk at home? I don't have time.

I'm running out of time.

Only a ten minute break.

Welcome.

Coffee.
- Coming right up.

What's wrong, Kyohei?

Give me five hundred thousand.

Just five hundred thousand.

What do you need all that cash for?

I'll give you the money if you have
a good reason.

Tell me the truth.

Why? What for? Explain it...

You have anything else to say

other than those?

I can't tell you why,

but I need the five hundred thousand.

My life depends on it.

I beg you, mum.

Is five hundred thousand enough?

I'm Niimi.

I'm Oyamada.

You're a cop, I hear?
What can I do for you?

Return my wife to me.

I'm Naomi's husband.

I know you two are having an affair.

What nonsense are you talking about?

You lied to me being a cop.

I don't have time for this.

You checked into a love motel

with my wife,

under the fake name Kawamura.

Or should I ask the receptionist

at the motel to come forward?

If you confess,

I don't want to blow this up either.

Frankly... I can't believe it.

Earlier we'd contact each other
once a day.

Since that day,

it's already been half a month,

and no news from Naomi.

I thought you found out about us,

and locked Naomi at home.

You're saying that the owner

of this pocket watch killed my wife?

We must find this person.

Could you get me that pocket watch?

I want to give it as a wedding present.

Even I couldn't help it.

I bought four from Europe.

Because it's so rare,

I kept one for myself.

In that case,

sell yours to me.

No, I like that a lot.

My mum bought it for Y $350, 000,

I'll pay you Y 500, 000 now.

Sell it to me.

Sorry.

Johnny's father

threw himself at a car

in order to earn money
for his son's trip to Japan?

You could say that.

But why?

Why send his son to Japan?

Chief, what did Willy say?

It's too bad, Willy is unaccounted for.

He was in the hospital after
the accident.

But he's been missing

since Johnny's death in Japan.

That's clear enough.

Willie knows

why his son got killed.

But he's trying to hide the secret.

That's why he's been hiding.

Munesue, stop speculating,

let's hear out
New York police's report first.

Willie Hayward was in Japan,

between Showa 21 st February
to Showa 24th September.

He served at the Yokosuka U.S. Base

during those three years and
seven months.

Around the same time when the hat
and the book were produced.

Agreed, Munesue's speculations
might not be 100% correct.

However, the victim may be here

to find his dad's old acquaintances
in Japan.

He wasn't born then,

but he brought the straw hat
and the book of poems,

to prove that

he's Willie's son.

He's sacrificed himself

in order to send his son over.

Let go!

You're home.

I'm home.

No electricity?
- That's right.

Where's the master?

He's having an overnight meeting
for policies.

Really? Wake me up tomorrow at 7 am.

Yes, madam.

Go to sleep.

Yes. Good night, madam.

Good night, madam.

Kyohei, what's wrong?

Nothing, I fell off from the bed.

Kyohei, what's bothering you?

Money problems?

Five hundred thousand isn't enough?

I... killed someone.

H it and run.

What? How?

I was scared.

Didn't know what to do.

I dumped the body in the ocean.

Why didn't you tell me then?

I could find a scapegoat.

Or your dad could take care of it.

You don't know anything.

It's not something you can solve

by finding a scapegoat

or tell dad to take care of it.

You don't understand my pain.

I'm turning myself in,
I want to be jailed.

Even so, could you make the dead
alive again?

Killing is wrong,

and dumping the body in the ocean
totally immoral.

But you did it.

You must be responsible till the end.

If you're saying about turning
yourself in for jail time,

why didn't you do so back then?

You're a sinner, you killed
and dumped the body.

You must act like a sinner,

and carry the pain with you
your whole life.

That's the way to be responsible.

If you think your sins would be forgiven

by going to jail,

you're being too naive.

All you do is lecture.

You said that

I'm low.

Everyone was trying to survive

in the chaos after the war.

I met your dad at that time.

He worked his way up from scratch.

He built his company and you were born.

When your dad first got elected,

I thought finally I'm going to have
some good days.

And then he started to have his affairs.

I wanted to leave, but couldn't.

You were still young then,

I had no skills.

That's why I started to learn
fashion design,

for my future;

To take you away with me.

Presently we have this opportunity.

Your dad doesn't need us anymore,

and neither do we need him.

But I need you.

I could last till today only
because of you.

Go to New York!

I've rented a shop on 5th Avenue.

Wait for me there.

Kyohei, I know you're suffering.

To live with your sins,

is the only way to prove
how tough your are.

Go to New York!

Start your new life there.

(JFK Airport)

Where are we heading?

Hilton Hotel.

Mr. Detective.

How's your wife been?

I'm here to talk to you about that.

Really? Come in.

She was murdered.

Her blood type is the same as the prints
on the pocket watch.

Look at this watch,

there are only four imported in Japan.

Have a seat.
- Sure.

The shop owner kept one for himself.

One is with the mamasan of Junko Bar.

One was bought by TV star Johnny Okamoto.

And Kyoko Yasugi bought this one
for her son.

Her son showed up at the shop recently,

bugging the owner to sell him his.

I think we have enough proof here.

I'm afraid not.

Why not?

Lt'd be different

if we can trace out Naomi's body.

She could still be alive.

If that's so, she'd have contacted me.

Tea.

I understand.

I could be fired if we screw up.

H is dad is a member of the Parliament,

and his mum a famous fashion designer.

We don't need to work
if you keep worrying about your job.

If you refuse this job, Yoko.

I'll do it, Mr. Niimi.

Hey!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Welcome.

You want to see me about something?

Sorry to bother you,

have you...

Have you seen this?

It's the same as the one I bought Kyohei.

Is he carrying it with him?

Yes, always.

Could we meet with him?

He's in New York.

I have sent him to study there.

What is this about?

A hit and run.

The only clue left on the scene
is the pocket watch.

Your son still carries his around?

When did the accident happen?

The day when you held your fashion show

at Royal Hotel.

If it's on that day,

Kyohei stayed with me all along.

We worked till late, and went for pasta.

You could call him in New York.

Madam...

Good day.

What's wrong?

Kyoko Yasugi.

I didn't expect to see her again here.

Do you know her?

Spring, Showa 24th year.

I saw her at Shinbashi market.

Help!

My dad was beaten up badly,
he died the next day.

My dad died to save her.

Sumiko, another bottle.

Sold out.

You shouldn't drink so much.

Why don't you

worry about yourself?

You're getting old.

I'm fine.

Welcome.

His poems are a bit sentimental.

It's not fair to compare
Yaso Saijo's poems

with pop music.

He's the pioneer in introducing

French symbolist poems to Japan.

It's a bit too sweet.

What's wrong with that?

My regular drink.
- Sure.

Heat up a bottle of sake.
- Sure.

It's important being gentle.

I like Yaso Saijo.

Welcome.

Mama, do you remember my straw hat?

Yes, the one that fell into the valley
that summer,

on our way from Usai to Kirizumi

Mama, do you remember my straw hat?

Yes, the one that fell into the valley
that summer,

on our way from Usai to Kirizumi

Mama, it was my favourite hat.

I was so sorry to see it blown away.

I don't know poems.

But I'm certain

that there's a connection between

this poem, the straw hat and the book.

No doubt about that.

Proof.

You can find the word

spoken by the victim in this poem.

Kiss me, that is... Kirizumi.

Kiss me and Kirizumi?

Not quite.

I asked a professor in European phonetics

about this.

He clarified that in Spanish phonetics,

the 'r' is emphasised.

To hide his Spanish roots,

he wouldn't pronounce the 'r'.

Pronouncing "Si-to-ha" as straw hat,

and "Kiss me" as Kirizumi.

Johnny Hayward is from East Harlem,

the ghetto for Spaniards.

Not only that,

Munesue has found out
one interesting point.

Go on.
- Yes.

I'm not familiar with the poem's
interpretation.

But you all know that

the poem is about memory of
the lost straw hat.

From that,

to remember the mother
who's not here today.

Johnny's father, Willy.

He would send his son

here at all cost.

Why did Johnny carry

the book of poems and straw hat?

To show that he cares about his mother.

From all these,

I think that

his death might have something to do
with his mother.

But his mother died.

On record, yes.

What do you mean?

In order to know more,

we must make a trip to Kirizumi.

I've seen many foreigners after the war,

but no black man.

Tane might know.

Yeah, she might.

That's true.

When you got here,

did you see the dam on the way?

Yes.

Tane lives up there on her own.

Her grand daughter is helping out here.

Shizuka.

Sorry.

Your food is here, you must be starving.

That's her! She's Shizuka.

I'm Shizue.

Does your grandma still remember
the past?

Yes, she remembers the past clearly.

Has this person been here recently?

Have you seen him?

A black man?

Never.

But grandma mentioned it.

When?

She mentioned something about
when the war was just over.

The black soldier took his wife
and kid here for the hot spring.

I want to meet your grandma.

This is it.

I'm home.

Grandma.

Grandma.

She's probably in the kitchen.

She had a guest, let me check outside.

Thanks.
- You're welcome.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Shizue

Officer.

I brought them.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Murder?

Who're you?

I'm here to see Tane.

Was she murdered?

I guess so.

She fell off from the bridge.

Someone pushed her over.

The old lady knew who those three are.

Hence it can be deduced that

this is clearly a murder.

The killer doesn't want

the identities of the family
to be exposed.

So you mean to say the killer knew that

we'll go to Kirizumi because of the hat
and book?

Racing against us?

Yes.

The same person killed

Johnny and Tane.

Chief, you once said that

Johnny might come to Japan
to see someone.

Judging from how he squeezed
the book of poems,

maybe he's looking for his birth mother.

Impossible. Willie went back to the U.S.
In Showa 24th year,

and married Teresa.

Johnny was born the year after.

What if the household particulars
are fake?

You're saying that he's born in Japan?

That's right.

From his skin colour,

he looked like a child from
mixed race parents.

I heard that you can't

trust the household registry in Harlem.

Enough of this.

Have you found out the identity of
the old woman?

She is from Fukushima's Kuhama.

Grandma.

Grandma, what did you do?

Detectives from Tokyo are here for you.

You must be Ms Omuro Yoshino.

I'd like to ask you about your cousin
Nakayama Tane.

Grandma.

Anything about your cousin.

Please tell us everything you remember.

I don't remember a thing.

You're getting forgetful again.

Didn't you receive a letter
from Great Aunt?

A letter? What's in it?

I forgot.

Do you still have the letter?

I threw it away.

Your cousin is murdered.

It's true.

We're trying to track the killer down.

What did she write?

She said she knew

who killed the Black man in Tokyo.

Who's the murderer?

The murderer's name...
she didn't write down.

Have some tea.
- Thanks.

Tea.

And then?

Me and my late husband

fled to Manchuria.

Really? I'm impressed.

When the war's over,

I didn't have the guts to come back.

We looked my cousin up in Yokosuka.

What did she do then?

She opened a bar serving the U. S. Troops.

Do you remember the bar's name?

No.

Smoke, madam?

We stayed at the bar for half a year.

Folks back home forgave us,

and we came back.

What about her?

She closed the bar

after a year.

She went to Kirizumi.

Do you still remember the names
of the girls

who worked in the bar?

I forgot.

Just the surname or nickname will do.

Please try to remember.

There's one girl from our hometown.

Please stop asking.

We wouldn't give you any trouble.

We were just trying to make some money
to survive.

It's the same for everyone.

I lived on the streets,

begged for food.

She's called Kyoko Yasugi.

Brenda No.7.
- Yes.

Matilda No. 8.
- Yes.

Welcome...

Madam Yasugi.

You're the detectives from last time.

I'd like to ask you about something.

Can we do this another time?

I need to go to my husband's party
for his campaign.

It will only take ten minutes.

The Prime Minister will be there,
I can't be late.

Walk with me?

What car did you drive on 27th April?

The day of my fashion show?

My Porsche was in the shop,

I borrowed a car to use.

What make?

A White Crown.

You drove to Shimizudani Park

around 7: 15 p. M.

What did you do there?

I was busy with the fashion show,

I couldn't have gone to the park.

Is that so?

You disappeared in the hall

between 7: 10 and 7: 30.

I wasn't feeling well.

I went to the clinic
at the hotel's basement for a shot.

The doctor said you didn't get a shot.

You left with your medicine.

That should take you only five minutes
to be back.

I stayed a while in the rest area.

Kyohei was with me the whole time,

you could ask him.

You've been to the park, madam.

You killed Johnny there.

Johnny? Who's Johnny?

Although he was stabbed in the chest,

he still followed you to the 42nd floor.

You mean the Black guy?

Why would I kill him?

Because he's your son.

Sorry?

You've got vivid imagination.

You should be a novelist.

I'm not done yet, madam.

You worked in a bar serving U. S. Troops.

Soon after the war,

you were hassled by a bunch of soldiers
in Shinbashi.

A man got beaten to death
by the U. S. Soldiers

while he was trying to save you.

Do you remember?

He was my father.

You didn't help him,

you only tried to get out there.

You've killed your son who was born
30 years ago,

for status and fame.

Right?

Are you kidding me?

You're a detective.

If you make it sound like tabloids,

you need some sound proof.

Do you have any?

You went to Kirizumi

on 20th May?

Kirizumi? Where's that?

You know Nakayama Tane.

No.

That's strange, aren't you from Kuhama?

Yes.

There's a Kyoko Yasugi from Kuhama
who worked

in the bar opened by Nakayama
in Yokosuka.

Someone could prove that.

Have you been to Kuhama?

There are dozens of Yasugi families.

I know at least three women

by the name of Kyoko Yasugi.

It's late now.

You shouldn't bother me.

Are you done yet?

Mama, do you remember my straw hat?

Yes, the one that fell into the valley
that summer,

on our way from Usai to Kirizumi

Move away.

Who told you to approach her
on your own?

Questioning the suspect without proof,

and you call yourselves detectives?

Sorry. But Kyoko Yasugi is a suspect.

Even so,

you must find proof.

Could I go to New York?

I want to find proof myself.

To prove who's Johnny's birth mother?

And his son Kyohei,

fled to New York after the hit and run.

If we can get him to talk,

Kyoko would have no alibi

for those twenty minutes away
from the show.

Very well, Yokowatashi.

Check out what Kyoko Yasugi was up to

when Nakayama was murdered.

And her past... thirty years ago.

Keep a low profile.

Yes. Thanks, Chief.

Look.

What's wrong?

Come, dance.

Not in the mood.

Come on.

Dance on your own.

Come on.

Leave me alone.

This one is nice.

Hey! Watch it.

It's real.

Do you know this man?

Johnny? Willy's son.

Johnny was killed in Japan.

Johnny? How come?

Don't know.

I need to find Willy, can you help?

Mama, do you remember my straw hat?

Yes, the one that fell into the valley
that summer,

on our way from Usai to Kirizumi

Mama, that's my favourite hat.

Do you honestly think that
you can survive as a designer

after we get a divorce?

I know that you've helped me in the dark

to get me where I am.

But I guess, it wouldn't hurt you

if I'm famous.

I want to test my abilities,

I've entered the fashion design
competition.

The result is gonna be out
the day after tomorrow.

I can determine who's the winner

by one phone call.

I know that.

But I don't really

care about winning anymore.

I've rented a shop in New York.

Even without a reward,

I can manage with Kyohei.

I won't stop you

if you insist for a divorce.

But, Kyohei is my successor.

He's useless, but he's still my son.

Forget it!

How could I?

He ran over someone and dumped
the body in the sea.

What?

That's why I sent him to New York.

How could that happen?

You won't save him,

even using your political power.

I'm going to start a new life with him.

We won't bother you

even if we must starve to death.

I bought a piece of land

under your name in Hawaii.

Take the title deed of the land with you.

(Murderer)

You must be Kyohei Kouri.

I'm Detective Munesue of
Kojimachi Police Station.

You want to shut?

Stop.

Stay back.

Don't do anything stupid.

Kyohei.

Don't come any closer or I'll shoot her.

Do you think that you can run?

Don't come near, asshole.

Kyohei.

Freeze, Kyohei.

You call yourself a man?

How many more Japanese must you kill?

The female body is found.

And now... the first runner up.

Japan Fashion Design Awards 1977,
the first runner up is...

The "Fantasy" collection.

Designed by Mary Tachibana.

Miss Mary Tachibana.

The judges are pleased

to present to you

the first runner up prize.

Here's your award.

Could you step outside?

Wait till the ceremony is over.

Your son, Kyohei... is dead.

Where did he die?

New York. He made other mistakes,

and was shot by the police.

And now... the winner,

of 1977 fashion design awards,

The collection is Flying Fire

designed by Kyoko Yasugi.

Teacher, teacher.

Miss Kyoko Yasugi.

The judges are pleased

to present to you

the winner's prize.

Here's your award.

Speech.

My son... is dead.

It's my fault.

He's my rock.

My only rock.

I'd do anything in order to protect him.

Anything.

He's my straw hat.

Mum, do you remember
that straw hat of mine?

Yes, the one that fell into the valley
that summer

on our way from Usui to Kirizumi.

I've already lost a hat,

I can't lose another one.

Mum, it was my favourite hat.

I was so sorry to see it blown away.

But that wind,

it blew all of a sudden.

Mama...

That kid was trying to find the hat,

the real one.

I don't care about money.

I've plenty.

You don't know nothing.

Mama, do you hate me?

I love you of course.

But I can't do anything.

It's only going to make things worse
if you stay here.

Go back, I beg you.

Mama, do you remember this?

Mum, remember that
young herbal medicine vender,

who walked towards us?

How hard he tried to retrieve my hat!

But it was no good.

Failed in the end.

I can never find

that lost hat.

Who gave me life?

My Black father and mama.

Look at me.

Mama, if you hate me,

why did you give birth to me?

Why?

Mum, you're low.

Mum, I wonder what's become of my hat.

The wheel lilies blooming all around it
must have withered by now.

Must have withered by now.

In autumn,

a grey mist must have surrounded
the hill,

and my hat may have sheltered
a grasshopper

and its nightly songs.

Mama.

Mama, do you hate me so much?

Straw hat, Mama.

Everyone has a beloved straw hat.

In order to survive,

we might lose the hat.

And we can never

find it back.

I'll give this back to you.

I don't need it.

I just want my child.

I want my child to come back.

Should we arrest her?

Quick.

The incident in Shinbashi happened

after they went to Kirizumi.

She tried to help your father.

Move over.

Faster.

Don't!

Let me go!

That's when she met Yohei Kouri.

Yohei built his company

from the money he made
on the black market.

You killed Johnny Hayward,

and Nakayama.

I'm arresting you for murder.
