Yes, that's fine with us.

So we look forward to working with you.

Ah, yes.

Forget it!

Sir!

Sir!
Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

Please wait! Sir!

There have been a lot of
deaths today, haven't there?

This is from the fire in Teramachi.

All five members of the family died.

Fifteen cases showed up at once
claiming the death insurance money.

So the number blew up.

Most of them had endowment insurance

with a high interest
rate and a five-yearterm.

Manager Wakatsuki, please check this.

So you brought out a hot drink, right?

Yes.

Okay.

When a problematic customer comes

instead of a hot one,
you bring out a cold one.

Why is that?

Because

that would cool off
their hot head, right?

I understand.

I will be careful.

I'm beat. I'm beat.

I appreciate your efforts.

That was arson, right?
Did they catch the culprit?

Not yet.

But the chances that the
beneficiary took part in it are low,

so I'm sure there aren't going to
be any problems with the payment.

Good grief.

Manager Wakatsuki.

Please check these.

When I went the other day,
he wasn't in his hospital room.

So I casually asked one of the
patients in the same room as him.

Apparently, he's at the pachinko
hall every day in the afternoon.

Not an unusual pattern.

But is it true that the
hospital conspired with him too?

This place is the famous
''moral risk'' hospital.

It's for those that want to commit
hospitalization benefits fraud

just as the name implies.

Shall we get going?

I guess we should.

Yo, what is this guy trying to say?

Well...

It's about the name of the disease.

Since you came here, it has
changed twice already, right?

First it was a gastric stomach ulcer,

but while you were hospitalized,
a liver impairment showed up,

and now it's diabetes mellitus?

What's wrong with that?

After the examination, they
found more things wrong with me.

I see.

But even so,

the limit of the benefits payment due
to hospitalization is 120 days each.

Somehow, when exactly 120 days
passes, the disease changes.

I'm borrowing your ashtray.

If you have a problem, ask the hospital!

That's what the doctor
has diagnosed it as!

May I get your signature on this?

What the hell is this?

It's an agreement form for
cancellation of the contract.

Don't underestimate me!

Who do you think I am? You want
me to send you off somewhere?

ls it okay?

Can't he just send me off somewhere?

By us making him that mad,
wouldn't it become a hassle later?.

It's fine.

The head office has already decided
the contract cancellation plan.

But if it turns into
a trial from here...

Ourjob is already done.

The head office has hired a scrapper.

lnput this for me.

Okay.

Hey, I heard. Apparently
you made it clear, right?

Hello, hello.

I appreciate your efforts, Mr. Miyoshi.

Thanks.

Mr. Wakatsuki, right?

I came to give you this.

Agreement for Cancellation
of lnsurance Contract

You were able to do it that fast?

But I can't believe he
actually agreed to it.

You make them agree to it.

It was an easy one.

We'll be saved thanks to you.

Well, I'm off.

Ah, Mr. Miyoshi.

After this, are you
going somewhere else?

To the Kokura area in Kyushu.

With the Thunderbird
and the bullet train.

For a matter with another
life insurance company though.

Mr. Kasai, it's hot, huh?

Yeah.

That man has this intensity, right?

Yeah.

He's a little different
from a normal person.

Apparently he used to
be full-fledged yakuza.

Rumor says that he quit the
business when he was getting married.

He was having a hard
time getting a decent job,

but the president of Insurance Data
Service picked him up for his talent.

His talent, huh?

Without a doubt, the seal
stamped on the application form is

about two mm bigger in circumference.

Yes.

So I told him that he cannot apply
for a contractor's loan with that seal.

Then he came in with the person
that's standing behind him.

Because he wasn't able
to receive the loan,

the bill was dishonored and
his company went bankrupt.

Then he says that we need to pay
him 50 million yen as compensation.

Ah, it's okay.

I'll go talk to them.

Whatever the guy behind him is,

whether a creditor or something else,

he most likely put
an idea into his head.

I'm sorry.

Don't cry or anything, okay?

Yes.

Manager Wakatsuki.

It's an inquiry from a customer.

ls it something complicated?

Well, she's asking if insurance
pays out if someone commits suicide.

Hello?

I'm sorry to make you wait.

My name is Wakatsuki, manager
in charge of the teller window.

It's about your inquiry, but may I
ask what you were inquiring about?

I already told them before.

Yes.

Does insurance pay out when
the person commits suicide?

Well, if you have your insurance policy

and tell me the number
that's written on there,

then I can look it
up for you right away.

If you don't have that,
you won't be able to tell?

Yes.

There are cases where we
are and aren't able to pay.

What would be a case
that's not possible?

Well, in general,

within a year of joining, suicide
is exempted from responsibilities.

Exempted?

Meaning you are not
able to receive payment.

Why is that?

Well...

ln business, regarding suicide
in general, it's exempted,

but in the insurance agreement in
general, it's cut off at one year.

Wait!

Don't hang up. Please
hold on for a second.

It might be unnecessary,

and if I'm wrong, please forgive me.

Please listen without getting offended.

Miss, are you thinking
of committing suicide?

If that is so, please
think it over one more time.

It may be intrusive, but
by committing suicide,

your family may be able to
receive the insurance money.

However, for the ones
who are left behind...

You, what did you say your name was?

My name is Wakatsuki.

Have you been working
there for a while now?

No, it's only been about a year
since I came to this branch.

Really? Thank you.

Manager Wakatsuki.

Yes?

There was a phone call from a man
named Shigenori Komoda. Know him?

I've never heard his name.

Regardless, you've been requested.

He deliberately mentioned your
name and asked for you to come.

Hello.

Hello?

Do you have some business?

I'm Wakatsuki from Shouwa
Life Hokuriku Branch.

Are you Mr. Komoda?

We apparently got a phone call from you.

Ah, that's right.

Wait, no one was there?

Yes. It seemed as if no one was home.

That's weird.

Wait a moment.

Oh, Kenta, were you lonely?

Did you want to see Daddy? Oh, really?

Eat up, eat up.

Hey, Junko. You come over here too.

Come on, Junko, eat up.

It's messy, but come in.

Excuse me.

What is this? Hey, Kazuya,
you're home, aren't you?

Kazuya!

Kazuya!

Come on.

Yes.

I'm sorry to make you wait.

Not at all. I just got here.

It seems as if our
business office upset you,

and I would like to
apologize about that.

I'm sure it's hard for you too.

Sorry to impose.

Unfortunately my wife is out right now,

and I don't even know
where the tea leaves are.

Please don't fuss over me.

Hey, Kazuya.

If you're here, come here for a second.

Kazuya!

Why are you ignoring me
when there's company!

It's rude to our company!

Kazuya!

No, please don't bother.

Could you open that
sliding screen for a second?

Excuse me?

Over there.

Kazuya should be right there.

He's a shy kid just like me.

I understand.

I beg you. Could you
say something to him?

Okay.

Here I go.

Kazuya, right?

Yeah, Kazuya.

Hello?

Kazuya?

Hello?

lnsured: Kazuya Komoda
Beneficiary: Shigenori Komoda

I heard this contract itself
wasn't something made at our office.

The recruiter was from
Toyama's Shinminato office.

The contract's a year and a half old
and was transferred to us last year.

What kind of person is the recruiter?.

She quit already, but she lives
in Shinminato City Nakafushiki.

Her name is Mitsuyo
Ounishi, age 38, a homemaker.

What kind of relation
does she have with Komoda?

Yes, Sachiko Komoda is the wife.

Nakafushiki is this
Sachiko's birthplace, and

Mitsuyo Ounishi and her were
classmates in elementary school.

But...

There is a little problem with
how this recruiting started.

Problem?

Yes, when Mitsuyo Ounishi went
into a pachinko hall in the city,

that was when she accidentally
ran into Sachiko Komoda.

Well, she wasn't able to get a contract,

so apparently she was
desperate for anything.

Sachiko?

Aren't you Sachiko?

Hey, do you play pachinko often?

I also play a lot in between work.

If so, what about this one?

While they were chatting, she
complained that the quota was too high,

and that's when she gave
her the business card.

With this one, if you die before
you're 60, you'll get 30,000,000!

Three days later, the husband
Shigenori Komoda called the office

and said that they would buy insurance.

lnsured Person

Then they were suspicious of
moral risk from the beginning?

Yes. On top of that, it's
three cases joining at once.

The policy had the Komoda couple
each having 30,000,000 yen and

the child having 5,000,000.

It's a fully-equipped rider and a
total monthly payment of 61 ,872 yen.

Why didn't the Toyama branch
check when they were joining?

The recruitment was in
November two years ago.

November, huh?

November

Campaign Period

Manager Wakatsuki.

Yes?

What's going on with
dealing with the complaint?

There's nothing that they
could pick at later, is there?

On that, I asked the
staff member in charge,

but no complaint came to mind.

It's an excuse.

ln other words, it's like this.

They just wanted to call Wakatsuki
and make him the primary discoverer.

They strangled their own child to death.

An accident due to
the contractor's intention

Vice-director Ousako.

That's wrong.

Kazuya Komoda was Sachiko Komoda's
child from a previous marriage.

Did you hear that from the police?

The father is unknown, but

Shigenori Komoda got married
to Sachiko two years ago,

and his former name
was Shigenori Kosaka.

Shigenori Kosaka
Left thumb severed, 5,000,000 yen

Oh, man...

This guy's notorious.

It's Komoda.

When I searched for him with his
former name, Shigenori Kosaka,

there was a contract with
him, though it's lapsed.

This guy was the Finger
Hunting Tribe's remnant.

Finger Hunting Tribe?

You've never heard of them?

The people that severed off their own
fingers to collect injury benefits.

Left thumb severed, 5,000,000 yen

Shouwa Life

Thank you for waiting.

My name is Wakatsuki,
in charge of insurance.

Kazuya's life insurance.

It's not coming out yet?

I'm very sorry about your
loss at this time, and

my deepest sympathy goes out to you.

Regarding Mr. Kazuya
Komoda's life insurance,

at this moment, the head
office is investigating.

If you could wait a little bit more.

Head office?

It's not here?

No.

Why is it taking this much time?

There were a couple of things
that had to be confirmed.

On what?

To be honest,

the death certificate that was submitted

said that the cause of death
wasn't suicide, but unknown.

Because of that, it's essential
for us to confirm with the police.

What are you going to confirm?

Therefore...

What are you saying?

Huh?

Didn't you see it for yourself?.

Weren't you the one
that found Kazuya's body?

That's true, but

unfortunately that's not enough.

The insurance money...

If you don't pay us soon,
we'll be in trouble.

We still have to have a funeral for him.

And we also have to pay for
a couple of other things.

But why him?

We sympathize with your feelings.

We will demand that the head
office hurry with their decision.

But you gave me a spare key,
so there's a chance I'll sneak in late.

Please take care.
Megumi

The magumi that Megumi likes.

That man is here again today.

That man?

The man with the work glove.

Around what time was it?

Around 12:05 PM.

Vice chief Kasai tried
dealing with him, but

he kept on pressing and saying, ''I've
always talked to Manager Wakatsuki.''

Thanks.

Hello, thank you for waiting.

It's about Kazuya's insurance money, but

I thought it could have been
paid out already, you know?

About that, it's still under
investigation at the head office.

Could you please wait
for a little longer?

Oh, really?

It's not ready yet?

I'm very sorry that we're
making you wait so long.

Oh, really?

It's not ready yet?

Once the decision is made,
we will contact you.

Oh, really?

It's not ready yet?

Thank you for waiting.

Oh, really?

It's not ready yet?

Really?

He came again today?

Yes.

He's not yelling or crying, right?

Well...

''Oh, really? It's not ready yet?'' is
the only thing he repeats constantly.

So he only repeats, ''Oh, really?
It's not ready yet?'' huh?

Yes.

They think this is a war of nerves.

Two weeks have passed since the
day after his wife showed up.

It's amazing that he keeps on coming.

The head office hasn't
said anything yet?

Not yet.

The police will make a full
decision based on their attitude.

Vice Director of domestic affairs.

If it's possible, can I look into
this matter a little bit more?

What are you going to do specifically?

First of all, I would like to see the
recruiter and get her story directly.

Apparently she is Sachiko
Komoda's childhood friend.

ls it going to be okay? I don't
think it's going to be okay, though.

Um, I'm the one who gave
you a call this morning.

Wakatsuki from the Hokuriku branch.

I need to go pick up my child right now.

I need to go pick up my child right now.
No problem. It's fine while we walk.

No problem. It's fine while we walk.

Okay.

It's hot, isn't it?

Where did you go to elementary school?

West Nakafushiki Elementary School,
located along the highway.

So you were together
for six years there?

Yes.

But I never really talked to Ms. Komoda.

She was always alone in class.

Also, she didn't have a mother.

What happened to her mother?

It's a rumor, but I've heard
that she eloped with another man.

Because of that, it seemed the
father was looking after her, but

there were times she had traces
of abuse on her arms and back.

Traces of abuse?

Kind of like that.

And for Mr. Kosaka, there
were scary parts to him.

Hold on a second please.

When you say Mr. Kosaka

Ms. Komoda's husband
was in the same school?

Yes, he was in the same class.

I think the census said he
was in Kyushu, Fukuoka though.

I think Mr. Kosaka lived
alone with his grandmother, but

after she passed,

I heard that he was going
all over the country alone.

You said before that there
was a scary part to him.

Did something specific happen?

I don't know if I should
even be saying this, but

during a field trip that
we took in 6th grade,

one girl from another
class went missing.

It turned into an uproar to
go look for her all over town.

But in the end, they found
her floating in a pond.

So were they thinking that he did it?

There were rumors like that.

A little before that, Mr. Kosaka
was insistently following her around.

Because of that, the teacher asked
him a lot of different things.

Then all of a sudden,

there was testimony that he
was with her the whole time, and

that's when the suspicion was cleared.

He had an alibi?

Yes.

The one that testified
then was Ms. Sachiko Komoda.

It's already been about 30 years.

Also, I came back here last year, so

I can't really remember specifically
about that girl Sachiko Komoda.

I've heard that she didn't
really stand out that much.

Do you remember anything
about Shigenori Kosaka?

I vaguely remember him.

He was a child with some problems.

This is the collection of work from
that class when they were in fifth grade.

I thought I should get them to
have better writing skills, so

for the class that I was in charge of,
I made sure we made one of these.

But it's amazing it was still here.

The dreams of the future, huh?

No.

Dreams are dreams, but these are
the dreams you see when you sleep.

If it's that topic, even the kids that
hate essays write really unique sentences.

Dream.

By Shigenori Kosaka.

Grandma told me that people who
passed away come to see you in dreams.

And I was happy because Mom and
Dad were looking at me in my dream.

But I can't see them anymore.

I wanted them to come
see me one more time,

but they won't even come into
my dreams anymore. The end.

Manager Wakatsuki, the man
with the gloves is here.

Oh really?

It's not ready yet?

I'm very sorry.

Not yet...

Yes?

We haven't even given him a funeral.

We don't even have
money to get a priest.

At least a funeral, that's
all we can do for him.

Because we did a
pitiful thing to Kazuya.

We don't even have a
small amount left anymore.

We can't do anything about it.

Where do you live?

Excuse me?

Well, in the city, but...

Where in the city?

Um, regarding that, I'm
not allowed to answer that.

Why's that?

That's the policy we have.

Mr. Komoda!

Please stop!

Hey!

Please stop!

Are you okay? What
happened all of a sudden?

I'm sorry.

I remembered about Kazuya.

It was pitiful and painful,
so I bit down by mistake.

Okay, I understand, but please stop!

Please calm down!

Megumi...

Megumi...

It's okay.

I'm really happy just staying like this.

What's wrong?

Just a second.

This is assistant
professor Mr. Kaneishi.

When I talked to my professor about
you, he called Mr. Kaneishi over.

He specializes in criminal psychology.

I'm sorry to ask you

something unreasonable.

I've heard the general
story from Ms. Kurosawa.

It might be a bit early, but,

Mr. Kaneishi, how would you
analyze this person K's profile?

It seems to me...

If K is actually
committing these murders,

then he is lacking functions like
compassion, conscience, and regret.

He definitely has schizoid
personality disorder.

Schizoid personality disorder?

Also, there's a chance that
impulse control disorder and

intermittent explosive
disorder are mixed together.

Meaning antisocial personality disorder?.

That is?

There are different categories
to personality disorders, but

in situations with schizoid
personality and control deficiency,

and explosive disorder especially, we
call it antisocial personality disorder.

It is possible that they will
repeat serious crimes over and over,

meaning it's the worst combination ever.

Looking at this essay, his intelligence
may be behind for a fifth grader,

but I don't really get the
impression of lacking emotions at all.

How about S's ''dream of the swings''?

Well...

Compared to K's ''dream,''
S is more monotonous,

or more like the impression is weak.

But something has been on my mind.

I think I have heard about a
dream similar to this somewhere.

''Dream of the swings.''

I got on the swings and swung.

While I was swinging on the swing,
eventually I got more acceleration,

and I was able to get closer to the top.

I got so high that I could
swing in a full circle.

When it got to the highest point,
I slipped and fell off the swing.

From there, I fell into a deep,
empty place farther and farther down.

So you're against that
guy Kaneishi's opinions?

Of course I'm not denying all of it, but

I have a resistance to words
that label people in categories.

Since I started studying psychology,

do you know what the most
important thing I've learned is?

No.

Each and every human
being is totally different.

And how it is an extremely
intricate universe.

Mr. Wakatsuki,

do you really think a human that
doesn't have a humanlike heart

exists in this world?

I do.

Why is that?

That's because you have
never met a human like that.

Be at an insurance company every
day and meet some worthless humans.

You would too.

It just seems like that because
of the stress from your job.

It's the same as your body not
moving the way you want it to.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

But I think it's definitely wrong.

I think K has a humanlike heart too.

Why do you think that?

It's that essay.

The child that wrote that

definitely isn't a monster.

I leave the rest up
to your imagination.

Brother!

Hasn't it been enough?

Please pardon us!

Please pardon us!
I'm very sorry.

We paid the premium.

Didn't we pay the expensive
premium by pushing ourselves?

Even after all that, when Kazuya dies,

you're saying that you're not
going to pay the insurance?

I'm very sorry.

You scared me.

I appreciate your effort.

I was so overwhelmed. He
was really persistent today.

I'm not surprised by this anymore, but

there was another guy here to
see you until just a moment ago.

It was this guy with no
composure and a pale face.

I think he said his name was Kaneishi
or something. Do you know him?

Yes, but I think it was more
regarding a personal issue.

That guy was eagerly
trying to talk with Komoda.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.
I'm sure you know too, but

customers talking with each other,

even if it's small talk, is not
something we really want happening.

And if new troubles occur, even if
we're not involved, it would be a hassle.

Much less so since it's that guy.

If it's someone you know, then
could you tell him the matter?

I understand.

Are you okay?

Ah, yeah, well...

What did you talk about with that man?

I was right. That is the person
K you were speaking of, huh?

Nothing really important.

I said things like,
''lsn't it humid?'' but

he pretty much wouldn't answer me.

He's pretty expressionless,
so it's hard to figure it out, but

I perceived it as him having
been driven into a wall.

I don't remember asking to go that far.

Having you come to the branch
office and talking to him is trouble.

Also, I think he's close to his limit.

Are you even listening?

I'll give it to you straight.

There is a danger that
that man will kill you.

You don't say...

I don't think he has
any motive to kill me.

It's not like he's going to get
the insurance money by killing me.

That is the thought process
of normal humans like us.

He doesn't think that way.

ls that because he has
antisocial personality disorder?

More commonly known as a psychopath.

Psychopath?

They don't even bear affection
to their own children.

You think a human like that would have
affection towards unrelated people?

On top of that, he may be abnormal,
but he's not mentally challenged.

He is always sane.

Even though he's sane, for the
purpose of filling their own desires,

there are humans that will
not hesitate to commit a crime.

Did you know how much these types of
humans are increasing in this country?

I don't know if you have
any interest in it, but

there is a viewpoint saying the
primary factor is the environment.

Are you talking about
environmental pollution?

That's right.

Chemicals such as
agricultural chemicals.

Chemical substances that are included
in factory products and drainage.

Dioxin that comes out of
garbage incineration factories.

Food additives that have been
put in a situation to be left out.

I think that all these things
combined damages the human DNA and

become the riding spur for
the increase in psychopaths.

The scarier thing is that

''psychopath-like values'' is a
spreading disease amongst the youth now.

As the numbers of humans that act
upon psychopath-like actions increases,

it becomes a protective coloration, and
real psychopaths start to not stand out.

From now on, there are going to
be more real psychopaths activated.

Yes?

Hello?

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Megumi.

I'm sorry about the other day.

Why are you apologizing?

I was the one who said a horrible thing.

No...

It was kind of hard for me to call,
so that's why I wrote a letter.

A letter?.

You didn't read it?

No.

I didn't even get it yet.

That's strange.

I sent it out about 5 days ago.

What did you write?

Because I wanted to
apologize about the other day.

Too much splashing.

Too much splashing.

ls that so!

Thank you so much. We have been saved.

Mr. Wakatsuki, thank you so much
for doing a great job for us.

This really helped us a lot.

What is the meaning of this?

Exactly how you see it.

The head office decided on the payout.

The police officially commented to

the head office's inquiry that
Kazuya Komoda's death was suicide.

But maybe it was good.

Because now the issue has been settled.

ls it really an issue
that's been settled?

What?

Maybe this is only the start of things.

What do you mean?

There are still two contracts left
with Shigenori and Sachiko Komoda.

On top of that, each one
of them is 30,000,000 yen.

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you saying that they're
going to do it again?

Whatever the circumstances might be,
they just get whatever they can.

I'm sure even they know that the police
are keeping track of them, you know?

The things that they come up with

and their nerves are different from
normal human beings in the first place.

Do you have a basis for
saying something like that?

There is no need for
him to have insurance.

ln spite of that, he applied
of his own will for insurance.

And even though he's saying that
he's having a rough time with money,

he kept on paying the high
premiums without any hesitation.

I can only think that he was planning
insurance fraud from the beginning.

So then you're saying that he's
going to kill his wife next?

Vice-director Ousako, you shouldn't
say reckless things like that.

Manager Wakatsuki, as I said before,
the police decided Komoda is not guilty.

If you decide someone's a
killer with just speculation,

it can become defamation.

I'm sure receiving a letter

My condolences go out to you
about Kazuya passing away in June.

But Kazuya did not commit suicide.

I am someone who works for the police,

but due to a certain reason, I
believe that Kazuya was murdered

by Mr. Shigenori Komoda.

What I am worried about is the fact
that there is insurance on you also.

If we leave it like this, I thought you
would be murdered also, so that is why

I wrote this letter to you.

Kanazawa Kourinbou Post Office
NTTKourinbou Building

You may not be able to believe it, but
please think about it thoroughly once.

If you cannot divorce Shigenori,

then you should change the beneficiary
of the insurance to someone else.

Or you may want to even
cancel the contract.

Please be careful.

Sincerely yours.

Get my sunglasses for me.

It's bright out here.

Murder.

Kanazawa Naka Police Station

At this point, there is nothing
to identify this person with.

His clothes are torn off, and he doesn't
have glasses, a watch, or anything.

When we searched the surroundings,
the only thing we found was

your business card, Mr. Wakatsuki.

Well, we don't have positive proof
that it's related to the body,

but it could be a customer that
came to your office or something.

Could you take look?

Are you okay?

Yes.

I am now.

I'm sorry.

C-Can I look at

h-his left wrist please?

You got an idea who it is?

What is with these wounds?

Are you done now?

We think that they were confined
somewhere for about a week to ten days.

During that time, they were
tortured and given nothing but water.

So who is this person?

Kaneishi.

Mr. Katsumi

Kaneishi.

My alma mater's psychology teacher.

Are you saying the one who murdered
Mr. Kaneishi is Shigenori Komoda?

Who else could it be?

He will kill his wife too.

There is a 30,000,000-yen
insurance plan on her.

I can't really understand
what you're saying.

Just for argument's sake,
just for argument's sake,

let's say Shigenori Komoda is thinking
of murdering his wife, Sachiko.

Then why is there a need to
pull all these pranks on you?

That is...

Right? He's already received
Kazuya Komoda's insurance money.

Why did you think Shigenori Komoda
was guilty in the first place?

Because when Kazuya's body was in front
of you, he was watching your reaction?

On top of that, Kazuya Komoda was
Sachiko's child from her last marriage.

Could you have thought that
up because of those factors?

If it were the real parents, you don't
want to think they would go that far.

What's wrong, Megumi?

I read over the essays.

I'll tell you the conclusion.

The dream that's written about in
the essay was absolutely abnormal.

But not K's dream.

I'm talking about S's
''dream of the swings.''

As Jung said,

in a dream, the sky and the earth

symbolize the spectrum of both
extremities of unconsciousness.

To move within there precipitously

should create tremendous
stress to the human being.

But this child is not
feeling any uneasiness at all.

Especially in the last part where
she is falling into the darkness.

A normal human would be feeling fear.

But it's only a
description of the movement,

and you don't see any words that
point out emotional reaction, right?

A man named Von Franz analyzed
a dream exactly like this one.

And what did that person say?

This human being has no heart.

Would you go this far normally?

Whichever way, because the claim
is up now, we have to cope with it.

Could you go see?

I'll go this time.

I'll go this time.
No.

This is a case that I have been
in charge of from the beginning.

So please let me see
it through to the end.

Shigenori Komoda

My husband was really enjoying this
snack you gave to us the last time.

Thank you.

No problem.

So, we are aware of most of the things
with the medical certificate, but

could we hear the details on
how it resulted in the accident?

My husband has been working using
a cutting machine at the factory.

Apparently, last Tuesday, the
machine wasn't working right.

So he stayed alone after work
to do some maintenance on it.

Because he was dazed, he forgot
to put the stopper on the blade.

Due to something, the switch turned on.

And because of that, his
body has turned into this.

He was putting overtime in
because his boss ordered him to?

Even if that's not the case,
there are times you stay, right?

May I ask who was the one
that found the accident?

It was me.

It was already late at night, so
no one was left at the factory.

For what reason did
you go to the factory?

My husband didn't come home,
so I went to go check up on him.

It was when the accident
had just happened.

If I had gotten there a few seconds
later, it would've been really bad.

What is going on with you?

I'm sorry.

We need to report the
details to our higher-ups.

About the insurance payout...

How much will be paid?

Well...

As long as there are no issues with
the circumstances of the accident,

as a high-grade-accident-insurance
payout, 30,000,000 yen will be paid.

What would be an issue?

Unlike with Kazuya, I want you to
pay us soon without complaining.

It hurts.

Hurts...

What?

It hurts.

What?

Where does it hurt?

Where does it hurt?
My hand.

Huh?

The tip of my finger hurts.

The tip of yourfingers?

The tip of yourfingers?

Look, the poor thing.

He now has a body that can't
work for the rest of his life.

And on top of that, he's gone insane.

Phantom pain, that's what it's called.

It's pain that you feel all of a sudden.
Your husband hasn't gone insane.

Mr. Wakatsuki.

We're going to get going now.

Please take care.

Ah, wait a second.

You said I could get
that high-grade accident.

But if my husband dies, would
I get another insurance payout?

If the emergency-team member
found the severed arm right away,

then reattachment of the
limb would have been possible.

Was the arm actually found?

Yes, about four to five hours later,
the wife found it and brought it.

If you wrap it in a plastic bag and ice,
it usually lasts about six to twelve hours.

But she brought it bare
and wrapped in newspaper.

To be honest...

Before Kazuya died,

there was a time she called
the company anonymously.

She asked if insurance would
be paid out even with suicides.

I just assumed that it was
for her to die on her own.

She has that kind of personality, so
I started thinking that she was just

going by what her husband had said.

But...

That wasn't an inquiry for if she dies.

Regardless, I told her things
that she shouldn't have known.

Because I didn't

go exactly by the manual, our branch...

No, Showa Life itself, I made her
think we're nothing to be afraid of.

That's an amazing thing that eyed you.

She's not human.

I talked to the vice-director
of domestic affairs about it.

They are going to go with the
direction to scrap the contract.

I've never seen anyone that
has gone this far before.

I guess you can say you're brave.

But, lady, you've gone too far.

This is definitely way too much.

If it's just like one finger, then
we would close our eyes for that one.

It's a ''thanks for your effort'' payment.

But taking both arms and 30,000,000
is a little heartless, don't you think?

What's up with you
coming all of a sudden?

With insurance comes a
thing called the agreement.

If it's too hard to read because of its
small lettering, there is a digest version.

Lady, did you read that carefully?

Kettle?

Not a kettle.

An agreement.

When did I say kettle?

It's this, but it's not a kettle.

Agreement

This is the usual thing, but...

This is the usual thing, but...
Thank you very much.

By the way, why did it all of a
sudden change from Kyoto to Kanazawa?

I'm actually not sure either...

I'm actually not sure either...
It's the Hokuriku branch's Wakatsuki.

I'm sorry to contact you so many times.

Ms. Ounishi, you said the other day

Mrs. Sachiko Komoda and Shigenori's
marriage was their second, right?

Do you know the name of her ex-husband?

I think it was Mr. Shirakawa.

I think he was someone
from the city of Takaoka.

For your situations,

severing off your husband's arms

fits into this ''insurance holder's
intent'' or ''the insured's intent.''

Therefore, we won't
pay out your insurance.

I don't know if it's
tender passion or love, but

where do you have that proof?.

If you have it, then show me.

Proof, huh?

It will be found gradually.

Sachiko Shirakawa.

Date of Birth: June 4th, 1961

lnsured: Yoshio Shirakawa

Code: Ka YChild lnsurance "Wakaba"

Child insurance?

Deceased: Yoshio Shirakawa
Payout Confirmed

Yoshio Shirakawa, age 6.

Accident reason code, 963.

963?

Um, 963.

963 Death from hanging oneself,
strangling, suffocation from violence

Death from hanging oneself, strangling,
as well as suffocation from violence.

Kazuya, your bait's been eaten.

963 Death from hanging oneself,
strangling, suffocation from violence

Kazuya.

If you go up higher,
everything looks different.

963 Death from hanging oneself,
strangling, suffocation from violence

So this is what I'm saying, lady.

If we have a trial, it's going to
cost both of us our time and money.

If you sign and seal here, we have no
intention of making things more difficult.

This is

an agreement form that will make it
so that the insurance never existed.

We won't pay the high-grade
accident insurance pay out, but

you'll get back the full amount you've
paid towards that insurance till now.

lsn't it a good deal?

Well...

I feel bad for the husband, but

think about if the
lady has to go to jail.

I get it.

You were asked to do this by
that guy, Wakatsuki, right?

Huh?

What are you saying, lady?

Okay.

But unfortunately, I
don't have the seal here.

Come with me.

How?

Hello, this is Wakatsuki.
I'm not home...

The room monitor will be activated.

Damn it.

What a grudge.

Making money behind my back.

Taking so much money from us.

Hurry up and come home.
I'll chop you up into pieces.

I'll do this to you.

I'll do this to you.

Your lover is at my house,

waiting for you to die.

Hello, is this the police?

May I speak to the detective
division's Mr. Matsui?

Hello, who is this calling?

Just please contact Officer Matsui!

Megumi was... Megumi Kurosawa
was kidnapped by Sachiko Komoda.

Megumi, Megumi...

Megumi!

Megumi!

Megumi?

Megu...

Megumi?

Megumi?

Mr. Miyoshi!

Mr. Miyoshi!

Megumi.

Megumi.

Megumi!

Megumi.

Megumi.

It's me.

It's me.

Megumi, it's me.

It's me.

It's me. It's okay.

It's okay.

Megumi! Megumi!

It's okay.

It's okay, Megumi.

Let's get out here.

The dismembered body found in the
floor of a factory worker's home

was identified as private
company Tokyo Komagome

insurance data service investigator
Shigeru Miyoshi, age 42, on the 9th

by the lshikawa prefecture
Kanazawa's Naka police force.

The investigation headquarters
was investigating the worker's wife

Sachiko Komoda, age
37, as a suspect, and

from the state of the scene,

it seems that all the murders
were committed in the house.

From the floors of the home,
they found more bodies that have

turned into skeletons
other than Mr. Miyoshi's.

Out of those, the only one
that has been identified

is Sachiko Komoda's former husband,

Mr. lsamu Shirakawa, at the time age
30. The rest is still being investigated.

There was a chance the suspect that
fled from the scene fell into the canal

along with the carthat
she used for her escape.

A large-scale investigation
is currently being carried out,

but Sachiko Komoda's
body has yet to be found.

I'm sorry to call so many times.

I was just wondering how Megumi's doing.

You don't have to
worry about her anymore.

That's what my husband has told me
to tell you so many times already.

May I please speak with
Megumi for a little bit?

Megumi is still resting.

I was wondering if I
could visit her once.

Could you please leave
her alone from now on?

Please don't call anymore either.

We need you to consider what happened.

Yes, I know that, but...

Yes, I know that, but...
Please, I'm asking you.

Please, I'm asking you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
Excuse me...

Next is the Hyakumangoku Festival
that is starting in Kanazawa City.

This year, Toshiie Maeda, the star
of Hyakumangoku March, is going to be

played by actor Ken Takada, and
about 420 people will be part of this

parade to enter the fortress, and the
luxurious story will be told there.

This year before the
Hyakumangoku Parade,

the 50th Government Fire Fighting
Anniversary Parade will be going on,

so the crosswalk restriction time will
be 20 minutes earlier than last year.

For more information...

Yes, this is Shouwa Life.

This is Takakura from the
Kanazawa east business office.

Thank you for your continued support.

I have a special favor I would like
to discuss with you, Manager Wakatsuki.

What is the matter regarding?

Anyhow, I would like to meet
with you tonight at 10 PM.

10 PM, please.

Ah, yes.

I understand.

Manager Wakatsuki.

ls something wrong?

Well, I just went to count the
people here for the beginner's class,

and the number of lunch
boxes doesn't match.

You got extras? If so, then I'll eat it.

If there were extras that's fine, but

we're one short.

I don't know what to do.

Okay, I'll do something about it.

Please, thank you.

What happened? What happened?

It's fine.

They've done a pretty flashy job, huh?

Today is Hyakumangoku Festival, so
you should come with me for once.

Why don't we go chug some cold ones?

Unfortunately, I just got a
phone call from Ms. Takakura,

and she apparently has something
she wants to discuss with me.

That's a weird thing.

Why does old lady Takakura have to
discuss something with you specifically?

I don't know.

But she said it's going
to be around 10 PM.

10 PM? You took it?

If it's Ms. Takakura, I can't say no.

Oh really?

She is a person with an excellent
record, even on the country's ranking.

How troublesome for you.

I'll be fine.

Please invite me again.

Yeah.

Overtime, huh?

You're always working hard.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

I will be in the security room, so
if there is anything, please tell me.

Yes.

Too much splashing.

Too much splashing.

Too much splashing.

Too much splashing.

Too much splashing.

I was cut too.

When I was asleep, my
parents cut my wrist

to get the insurance payout.

What's wrong with doing the same thing?

Seriously...

What's wrong with it?

Suck on my breasts!

You suck!

Welcome home, Megumi.

We can see each other
like usual again, right?

Have a good night.

Have a good night.

Have a good night.

Come out for once.

Yes, that's fine.

We're thinking of going bowling.

Bowling?

Your injury is healed now, right?

Well, yeah, the injury is...

Here it comes! Here it comes!

Wonderful!

Okay, my turn!
