(Takanashi Shoko)

I'm looking for her.

Takanashi Shoko?

They said that she's the best lawyer in your firm.

She resigned a year ago.

Resigned?

Did you suffer any loss?

What do you mean?

It's nothing. It's good if you didn't.

What?

The President spent his last days in peace.

It's all because you helped us win the case.

We'd definitely...

not let your company experience any hindrances in such a place.

Please also support us going forward.

What's the matter?

That's Takanashi, right?

That's impossible.

Didn't she run away to somewhere abroad?

McKinley Securities, President Smith.

Inheritance dispute.

(McKinley Securities' President Smith)

(Inheritance dispute)

(Obituary)

I wonder who will get custody of his daughter.

It happened so suddenly.

Right?

Mr. Yamagishi. Custody battle.

(Mr. Yamagishi. Custody battle.)

(Lawyer, Aoshima Keita)

(Muto Family Grave)

What are you doing here?

I heard that he will be buried today.

Please file an appeal in order to get justice for your wife.

Go home!

My wife committed suicide...

because of you!

Long time no see.

Who are you?

Don't you remember me?

You can't commit suicide.

No, I'm not planning to do that.

You have to fight until the end.

I told you. I...

A motel exists in such a place?

Be careful.

Hey, until when will you be hugging me?

At a time like this...

Hey, stop moving around.

- Hold me properly. - Ouch, it hurts.

New shoes just don't fit well.

Can you please send the money for the shoes to this account?

What's the matter?

I almost died because of you.

You should buy a pair of shoes for the one who saved your life.

I told you.

I only went to see the place where my client committed suicide.

A man and a woman wearing funeral clothes near a motel.

People would think they're committing suicide together...

even if they're not Detective Yoroizuka.

Detective Yoroizuka?

"One Hundred Times on the Scene".

Haven't you heard of that?

That's why I said you don't cut it.

I'm very sorry.

But it still feels better to ride on a locomotive.

After this train was retired from the Keio Line,

it found its second life at Iyo Railway,

then started its third life here at Choshi Electric Line.

Just thinking about that...

gives us inspiration.

Right?

Yes.

My career as a professor ends with this class.

Thank you for your support during this time.

Thank you very much.

Why?

I know you studied law in order to become a law professor.

I'm like a driver with a license who never drove a car before, right?

But why did you make such a rash decision?

Before you resigned,

why didn't you discuss with me first?

I want to follow my ideals and face reality.

That's why legal practitioners...

must have a sense of justice and determination.

How moving!

The sense of justice you've mentioned is so true.

Gosh, stop patronizing me.

I'm just full of idealism.

Do you want to turn your ideals into reality?

What do you mean?

Do you want to establish a law firm that has a sense of justice with me?

Me? Open a law firm?

If you don't mind, this is my business card.

(Takanashi Shoko)

Kotori Asami?

It's Takanashi.

She scammed you. Her number cannot be reached.

She was fired by a big law firm...

and was forced to move out because she owed a lot of rent.

That's why I say that she's...

She complimented my ideals and my looks, though.

Isn't that...

what scammers do?

She's not a scammer.

She's a good lawyer.

She's connected with the triads. That's why she got disbarred.

Is she not a lawyer anymore?

How much money did you give her?

I gave her 5,000,000 yen for the law firm expenses...

and my seal.

You even gave her your seal?

Is that bad?

Of course it is!

(Azusa37 Railway Bar)

Train bento boxes are the best.

Whatever. Can you please just pay me back?

The Choshi Electric Line is already in operation.

Do you happen to have the famous moist rice crackers here?

No.

By the way, why did you go to that cliff?

I was trying to scout you.

Me?

You took an interview at Felix and Temma last year, right?

Yes.

(Aoshima Keita)

I mean...

There is a sense of crisis because the prosecution...

is trying to forcibly induce guilt.

So, I...

Next.

Were you the interviewer who rejected me?

Your name is Aoshima, right?

Have you improved a little?

No, I still haven't.

I lost my case last month.

My client's mom committed suicide as a result.

There's something in you indeed.

You still remember your reason for being a lawyer.

I think Japan needs lawyers like you...

who can get put themselves in the victims' positions.

Let's fight together in a law firm that saves the weak.

You'll hire me as your lawyer?

Come here tomorrow morning.

Thank you for the meal.

I'm paying for this?

Thank you for coming.

(Legal V)

("One Hundred Times on the Scene")

Next stop is Nishikanda.

We're stopping at Nishikanda.

He is a molester!

This person touched my behind!

Me? I didn't.

Stop pretending.

- You're terrible. - Hey pervert, what did you do?

What did you do?

I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.

- Stop! - Hey, don't run!

- Are you all right? - Over here.

Please come to the Conductor's Office with us.

I didn't touch her!

Please wait a moment.

He said he didn't touch her.

No pervert would admit that they did.

That may be true...

- You are... - Well, I'm a lawyer.

A lawyer?

Please contact me if you need anything.

(Aoshima Keita)

Wait. Do something now!

This is ridiculous!

Hey, come with us.

Let go of me!

I still have somewhere to go!

I really didn't touch her!

Is it this way?

No, I think it's this way.

- Is that so? - Yes, sorry about that.

We found it. It's this building.

She prepared the law firm, then.

Please be careful. Maybe there are triads here.

Shoko, I settled those troubles for you.

Thank you, Akira.

The bad feeling I had came true.

Hey.

Professor Kyogoku.

You're here.

You found this place on your own. You're good indeed.

Come on, let's go inside.

Wait. Well...

What kind of law firm is it exactly?

Hey.

Kyogoku Law Firm.

That's right. This is your law firm.

(Kyogoku Law Firm)

Gosh. I couldn't reach you. I was worried.

I'm sorry. I forgot to deposit money into the expense account.

I also have your business card ready.

"Representative Lawyer, Kyogoku Masahiko".

What are you so happy about, Professor?

You can't be at ease now.

So noisy. Who are you?

Don't you remember me?

I'm the prosecutor who fought a case with you.

No. I should say, the prosecutor whom you dragged down.

- Kotori, right? - It's Otaka.

He was my student.

He's a lawyer now, not a prosecutor.

Professor, you're really incredible.

You've taught so many talented individuals in the legal profession.

What exactly are you thinking?

You've been disbarred,

yet you encouraged Professor Kyogoku to open a law firm.

I just wanted to give back to the legal profession.

That's why I prepared this place to let Professor Kyogoku...

turn his ideals into reality.

Is there anything wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong with it from a legal perspective.

But Professor Kyogoku, you're a lawyer...

without any actual experience.

That's fine.

I've already found an incredible, young lawyer to help him.

That's strange. Where's Aoshima?

(Lawyer Aoshima Keita)

Are you kidding me? Get me out of here now.

Admit your guilt if you want to get out.

Admit my guilt?

You work in a top notch enterprise and you're married.

The prosecution wouldn't think you'd escape...

after you admit your guilt.

If you settle this outside of court, you can get out immediately.

Your company and family won't find out about this.

I'm innocent. Do you hear that?

Do you have a way to prove it, then?

Isn't it your job as a lawyer to prove that I'm innocent?

That may be true, but...

You've reached the Yasuda family.

What? My husband was arrested?

He touched a woman?

There must be some misunderstanding.

Hi, this is Togashi.

What? He got arrested?

(Kimijima Chemicals Employee, Togashi Hiroyuki)

He touched a woman?

Mr. Yasuda asked you to please handle his work matters.

All right.

If you need my help, just let me know.

Please tell Yasuda not to worry.

Okay, bye.

Togashi.

Executive Director.

The application documents have been prepared.

(Kimijima Chemicals Executive Director, Aihara Morio)

Where's Yasuda?

He encountered some difficulties.

Professor, it's not too late yet.

Let's go back the university.

But the law firm is already operating.

So what?

I'm late.

Who are you?

I'm Aoshima, the lawyer Ms. Takanashi hired.

You're that very incredible young lawyer, then.

Incredible?

It seems you were also scammed into coming here.

Scammed?

Here. This way. Yes.

Hey, wait. Put it down lightly.

Everyone, let's get the next batch.

Looking at the body of the person who died an unnatural death,

Detective Yoroizuka Heihachi, who has 35 years of experience,

has this to say based on his gut feelings.

The culprit and the serial killer are the same person.

(On the Scene One Hundred Times)

Your judgement is still so immature, Detective Yoroizuka.

Aren't you playing into the hands of the culprit this way?

Because this woman's legs...

are facing the northeast direction in a 25-degree angle.

So what is that thing about you being disbarred?

You're asking that after arriving late?

I'm busy right now.

I thought Felix and Temma wanted to hire me.

This is completely different from what you told me.

That's what you assumed.

As a lawyer, you should confirm the facts carefully.

I've already resigned from my company.

Do you only want to be a dog raised by a big law firm...

and help big enterprises protect their own interests?

I'm sure you don't.

Our law firm can help you save the weak.

And this bed.

Do law firms need beds?

This box are all personal items.

Is there a problem?

This is the administrator's office. It's my room.

Administrator?

You plan to live here for long?

Shoko, you have a visitor downstairs.

Who did you scam again?

I'm going to interview a legal assistant.

You even plan to hire legal assistants?

My name is Ito Rie.

I have worked at Heisei Bank for 13 years.

In order to perform the duty our country gave me,

I chose to resign three years ago.

You worked at a top notch bank and you even performed a duty...

for the country. How talented!

May I ask what kind of duty did you perform for the country?

I embezzled 10 million yen, so Iwas imprison.

You were convicted.

I did it for the person I love.

A person who cares and works hard.

- What a rare talent! - How about you?

My name is Baba Yuichi.

I have worked at a security agency for 17 years.

Two years ago, in order to perform my duty to the country...

You also performed your duty.

I was imprisoned because I violated the Stalker Control Act.

A person in a security agency was a stalker?

I was wrongfully accused!

She must have liked me too.

I'm sure we liked each other.

Please! Why are the applicants all ex-convicts?

Why? Can't people with criminal records work?

Professor, he's discriminating against people.

Well...

He's ignoring the weak who has already turned from their ways.

That's not right. Do you agree, Aoshima?

I guess so.

Then we're all in agreement. We'll hire them.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

That was a very imperious decision.

And they're not from the legal profession.

I suggest you stop what you're doing and confess.

I won't let you off that easily.

How many times do you want me to tell you?

I'm innocent.

There is huge pressure in society.

People who work in top notch enterprises...

are under even more pressure.

It's very common for those people to do these things...

if they're not careful.

Is that so?

The financial scandal was just starting to die down.

Now, another employee got arrested.

Executive Director Aihara, you must be so worried.

Yes, he's the key person for a major project.

This groping scandal is going to be troublesome.

Please don't worry.

Kaizaki will be responsible for this case.

I see. I don't need to worry, then.

Mr. Tenma, please accept this.

Asami, please accompany Aihara on his way out.

And please don't forget to give him the receipt.

Yes, sir.

This way, please.

I'll go ahead, then.

Kaizaki.

What's on your mind?

No, nothing.

I feel like you're thinking deeply about something in the past.

Nothing escapes you.

Actually, he saw a woman...

who looked very similar to Takanashi Shoko a few days ago.

I recall such a lawyer.

(Kyogoku Law Firm)

(Administrator)

(Bed B)

(Regain Justice)

It feels like an election poster.

I think we need to be more creative in promoting ourselves...

in order to attract people to come to us.

And the charges are too high.

This is almost extortion.

Outsiders should not interfere.

Why are you still here, former prosecutor?

Because he's free. He doesn't have any work to do.

Who says so? I'm very busy.

The one who doesn't have any work is this law firm.

I'm late.

Why are you late again?

I'm sorry.

The suspect was turned over to the prosecution.

They've already decided to detain him.

I didn't do a good enough job.

Based on what you're saying,

someone has already asked you to defend him, right?

Is this the first case of our law firm?

You did good, Aoshima.

What kind of case is it?

The client was accused of touching a woman inappropriately.

Why do I feel like everyone's not interested anymore?

As a former prosecutor, I should warn you to back off now.

- But I've already... - In cases like these,

if the prosecution writes "guilty" in their report...

based on the victim's statement and submits it to the court,

then the judge would just listen to the prosecutor's opinion.

The judge usually sides with the prosecution anyway.

They even had personnel changes between them recently.

And you can't make much money.

Only lawyers who couldn't get other cases accept such cases.

See? That woman's showing her true colours.

This is a law firm that exists to save the weak, right?

Should we just watch and do nothing?

If you want to save him,

convince him to plead guilty and settle.

Then please try to convince him.

I can't. I don't have the license as a lawyer.

As long as the client agrees,

you can also see him as an ordinary citizen.

I'm sorry. I'm going shopping.

Shopping?

It's a limited edition item. I have to go now.

As the Representative Lawyer, I'll go with you, then.

This is my first meeting.

Joetsu Line, Takasaki Station. Daruma Bento.

Sanyo Main Line, Nishi-Akashi Station. Octopus Rice.

What is he saying?

I don't know.

Hakodate Main Line, Mori Station. Squid Rice.

Since you want to help the weak so much...

Let's go.

No, wait. What about me?

You should immediately cut your ties with that woman.

You want me to settle?

It's almost impossible to prove...

that a man is not a pervert.

It's better if you settle.

I told you I didn't touch her.

It feels so hot here.

You did it, right?

What are you talking about, Takanashi?

Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?

When you're in court, the prosecutor would use more unreasonable ways...

to force you to admit your guilt.

If you insist on pleading innocent,

you'll get a more serious sentence...

because you feel no remorse for what you did.

It's a long process before the verdict is reached.

And there's a 99.9 percent chance that you'll lose.

If everybody finds out,

your child will be bullied and your family will be destroyed.

Are you threatening me?

You just need to apologize, pay the victim, and that's it.

Right, Mr. Aoshima?

You want me to admit to something I didn't do...

and let my life be tainted by such an offence?

I have strived and worked hard all my life.

If I lie to myself even once,

I can only live the rest of my life muddle-headedly.

Wouldn't that render all the hardships I've endured in vain?

That shouldn't happen.

To you, this is a battle that you must fight, right?

You had a very important task to do that day, right?

That day, as the team leader, I was going to request for a patent...

for the biological engineering work we've worked on incessantly...

for the past seven years.

Patent?

Please ask my colleague, Togashi to come here.

How do we contact him?

Go to the Research and Development Department...

of Kimijima Chemicals.

It's a listed company.

- It's a listed company. - What are you talking about?

How's the patent application?

There's no problem.

I've discussed it with Executive Director Aihara.

The application went smoothly.

Is that so?

I can feel at ease, then.

We all believe in you.

We're waiting for you.

Man, I'm touched.

What are you saying?

Friendship is a great thing.

Is it because Mr. Yasuda has a good reputation?

If you can win by relying on your reputation,

then people don't need lawyers.

Help me!

What happened?

That bag sold out just a minute ago.

Did she want that bag that much?

I don't understand what's so good about the bag at all.

I checked. It's amazing.

It's amazing.

The foundation of Kimijima Chemicals' patent...

is basically Mr. Yasuda.

Kimijima Chemicals' patent?

An air purification biotechnology derived from chloroplast research.

It seems like the Chinese government also placed a lot of attention...

on this method of resolving air pollution.

No way.

This is way more than what we expected.

According to the information released today,

the estimated revenue is 30 billion yen.

Thirty billion yen?

Representative Kyogoku.

- Let's have a meeting now. - Meeting?

Check if there are witnesses.

Confirm the validity of the victim's statement.

Predict the evidence that the prosecution has.

Perfectly counter the prosecution's evidence!

Yes!

Thirty billion yen turned on her switch.

Me too.

Executive Director Aihara, I'm sorry to ask you to come here.

What happened to you...

was really unfortunate.

I can only work hard to clear my name.

Are you going to fight until the end?

What?

Think about it.

If news is reported that a department head...

has a case in court because of indecent conduct,

what do you think would happen to Kimijima Chemicals' reputation?

One person's mistake...

would decrease the whole company's worth.

What do you mean by mistake?

I didn't do it.

If this case goes to court,

the public would think you're guilty.

Are you telling me to not defend myself?

To confess and suffer silently?

If you insist on causing trouble,

then please consider your future in the company.

Are you telling me to resign?

You want to abandon me?

Yasuda.

It's hard for the company too.

Please think about what you can do...

for the company now.

Are you Mr. Kaizaki?

I've heard so much about your legendary cases.

It's my honour to see you today.

And you are...

I'm Aoshima from Kyogoku Law Firm.

I came today to defend an indecent conduct case.

That's a very bad idea.

You're just leading the suspect and his family to hell.

The company and its employee will only be exposed to danger.

Hey.

Long time no see, Big Company's Guard Dog.

How surprising.

I never thought I'd see you here.

Please don't bully my cute Pochi.

Pochi?

Don't wag your tail for someone you don't know, Pochi.

You don't have a license as a lawyer.

What are you doing here?

I don't want to be commented on by a lawyer with no self-respect.

Let's go, Pochi.

Who's Pochi?

(Legal V)

What do you mean you're giving up?

Whatever.

Let's just say I touched her.

Didn't you want to plead innocent?

Just settle it.

We won't win anyway, right?

If that's what the client wants...

Overruled.

What?

Didn't you not want to let your life be tainted with such an offence?

In life, there are times when you want to fight stubbornly.

There are times when you can't raise the white flag.

This is the time for that.

You have...

a right to fight.

Right, Pochi?

Pochi?

Yes.

The incident happened at this station.

There must be some clues here.

Let's take the defendant who was detained from this station...

to his next station.

We're looking for witnesses...

for the indecent conduct case victim.

On September 19 at 8:12am,

passengers of the Chuo Line in carriage number eight...

as well as passengers who have seen this man here, please help us.

Please help us in our investigation.

Please help us in our investigation.

The woman who filed the case is Mishima Mao.

A senior university student...

at Yayoi Women's University who is currently job hunting.

We can't find her connection with Mr. Yasuda.

Based on Baba's investigation,

she's a very serious and ideal university student.

Remind him not to fall in love with her.

Even so...

He was a stalker before, but he investigates so immaturely.

She always comes here too.

Hey, Takanashi, where are you now?

A host club.

- Akira, sparkling wine, please. - Understood.

However, regarding the meeting to discuss the public trial...

You can discuss among yourselves.

I don't have a lawyer's license anyway.

Next, sparkling wine.

Open it.

It's my first time seeing this.

Is this what they call a prosecutor's statement?

Yes. Excuse me.

I'm going to read it.

Well...

The victim...

was on the train she usually takes to university.

As she was nearing Ochanobashi Station,

she noticed that someone was touching her behind.

Since she was standing by the door,

when the train entered the tunnel,

she saw the face of the man who was touching her on the window,

which enabled her to identify the suspect.

After passing Ochanobashi Station, the man put his hand in her skirt.

She thought this was unforgivable.

At 8:21am, after she got off at Nishikanda Station...

He is a molester!

Me? I didn't.

Stop pretending.

You're terrible.

However, Mr. Yasuda said before he arrived at Nishikanda Station,

for around ten minutes,

he was sending emails to his colleagues...

regarding the patent application.

You wouldn't molest someone while sending emails, would you?

Even the experts say that this is very convincing.

Which experts said that?

This is the only approach we can use for the preliminary hearing.

By the way, where's Takanashi?

I mostly just do household chores,

but I'm very interested in the service industry.

So I applied.

We have an age limit, though.

May I ask your age?

I've graduated from university for three years now,

so I'm 25 years old.

Claiming to be 25 years old is too much, isn't it?

People often say I look more mature.

She really insists she's 25.

Yes?

- It's nothing. - It's nothing.

Hello, everyone.

Owner, I need to leave early today.

All right.

Darn!

If that person didn't buy it, I would have been able to.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, but please go home.

What?

Why?

(Tokyo District Court)

On September 19, the suspect who performed indecent conduct on you...

is the one seated in the defendant's corner,

Yasuda Tsutomu, right?

That's right.

Did the suspect seem very familiar with what he was doing?

Yes.

I believe he often does this to others.

Objection. That is just an assumption.

Prosecution, please proceed.

I would like to ask the effect of this incident on the victim.

How has your life changed after this incident?

I'm afraid to take the train.

I don't dare to go out.

I can only hide at home.

I hope...

the person who harmed me can at least show some remorse.

No further questions.

How pitiful.

In your statement, you said you were the victim of indecent conduct.

However,

the time you were victimized was between 8:12am to 8:21am.

During that time, Mr. Yasuda was sending emails.

His phone records can prove that.

Did you mistaken him for another person?

That's a leading question.

While one hand is operating the phone,

the other hand is performing the indecent conduct.

Physically, it's entirely possible.

Defence lawyer, please rephrase your question.

I will rephrase my question.

Mr. Yasuda is right-handed.

He used his right thumb for his mobile phone's fingerprint lock.

He also used his phone with his right hand.

According to the case file,

Mr. Yasuda was standing on the left side behind you.

His phone was on his right hand then.

If he wanted to touch you,

he could only use his left hand.

In such circumstances, he'd be...

He'd be in this kind of position.

It would be hard for him to touch you from behind.

Who said he must be operating his phone with his right hand?

That is an arbitrary conclusion.

Some people can use both hands to operate their phone.

And the email records might be purposely created...

to establish an alibi.

That's not enough basis to deny the facts of the crime.

Cut the crap!

What do you mean by purposely establishing an alibi?

Defendant, please mind your words.

That's all.

This is just the first round.

The judge is already siding with the prosecution.

They are colluding with each other.

On the day of the incident,

you were going to apply for a patent for something...

you've worked on for seven years...

that would affect the fate of your company.

Am I right?

That's right.

Would Mr. Yasuda perform an indecent conduct on such a day...

that would let his many years of hard work go to waste?

That's impossible, right?

Objection.

That's the personal opinion of the defence lawyer.

- Sustained. - However...

There were cases where people performed indecent conduct...

on the day of their exam or their wedding.

Yes.

How can he be defeated so badly?

Pochi.

Woof, woof.

I think I'm really not suited to be a lawyer.

Let me do it in the next public trial.

Objection!

I've wanted to say that for a long time.

Thank you.

We have the indictment dispute and final defence next.

We have no other way to defend the client.

Are you going to raise a white flag now?

But...

Me?

We delayed the public trial for one day.

Former Prosecutor, you should be very familiar with their tricks.

You're free anyway.

I'm really busy.

Though I'm really busy,

I'm willing to try for the professor's sake.

What is the Representative Lawyer doing, by the way?

He's writing down his passionate feelings on paper.

Such nice calligraphy.

I have a license to teach art calligraphy.

But what should we do next?

Who should we call as our witness?

We'll surely have the best witness.

Who?

I'm going to the host club.

What? Wait.

Who exactly is it?

Otaka, hey.

Long time no see.

Katayama.

Are you the one handling this case?

Yes.

I have to let women's enemies learn their lessons.

Otaka, good morning.

Enomoto, are you also involved in this case?

Yes.

What do you mean that you're not doing it anymore,

you cowardly former prosecutor?

Don't become a lawyer, then.

Katayama is my senior when I was still a prosecutor.

He's an expert that can convict the defendant 100 percent of the time.

Furthermore, he and Sakamoto come from the same province.

He was also his senior in high school and university.

We don't stand any chance.

I'm sorry. I quit.

We have no other choice. I'll perform...

- the defence today, then. - Let Pochi do it.

Me?

Be happier.

You got the right to fight again.

Your bag is really nice.

I also wanted to buy one,

but it was sold out on the day it was released.

If I remember correctly,

that was after you became a victim.

So you could still go out to buy bags.

My boyfriend gave it to me.

I've confirmed with the staff. You bought it yourself.

You better keep this in mind.

If you commit perjury,

you'd be sentenced to at least three months in prison.

To confirm the process of how the victim...

became the receiver of indecent conduct...

in the train on the Chuo Line,

and if it's consistent with the prosecutor's statement,

we've invited the victim who testified last time...

to the court.

Also, to validate the prosecutor's statement,

we have railway expert here to testify.

Please come in.

This witnesses have studied railways for 30 years.

As a hardcore railway fan,

she has been reported on by many railway magazines.

She's an expert with a Railway Master Level One Certificate...

sponsored by the All-Japan Railway Agency.

Nice to meet you.

Let me ask you.

Based on the prosecution statement, on the morning of the incident,

The victim was on the train she usually takes...

to the university.

What do you think?

I think it's very strange.

She's going to Yayoi Women's University,

yet she went to Nishikanda Station to change to Toei Loop Line.

The escalator going to Toei Loop Line...

is right beside carriage number one.

Please take a look at this picture.

However, she chose to take carriage number eight,

which is very far from the escalator.

If she's used to taking this train,

why didn't she get into carriage number one?

It's her freedom to choose whichever carriage she wants to take.

Sometimes, people choose to walk for distances for diet purposes.

Defence lawyer, please rephrase your question.

Let me rephrase my question.

As stated in the prosecution statement,

the victim was standing by the door.

As she was nearing Ochanobashi Station,

the defendant touched her behind.

After passing Ochanobashi Station,

the defendant put his hand in her skirt.

What do you think about that?

I really don't understand.

What do you mean?

At that time, it would be very crowded on the train.

The passenger rate reached 200 percent.

If she was standing by the door,

when people get off the train, she'd be pushed onto the platform.

That means?

That means...

that after she became the receiver of the indecent conduct,

though she was pushed onto the platform...

of Ochanomizu Station by the people who disembarked,

she still went into the same carriage...

and stood in front of the defendant...

and became the receiver of indecent conduct again.

That's indeed hard to understand.

The victim was deeply traumatized after she became the receiver...

of indecent conduct and needed to hide in her home.

She could have taken another carriage...

or waited for the next train.

That's right.

It's very strange indeed.

Your Honour, the victim was pushed by the passengers who got off.

She could only board the same carriage again.

Witness, please don't speculate subjectively.

Then...

The prosecution statement said that the victim saw Mr. Yasuda's face...

on the window when the train entered the tunnel near Ochanobashi Station.

What do you think about that?

That's entirely impossible.

What?

On the day of the incident, during that time,

the window on the door of the carriage she was on...

had promotional posters for a drama.

The poster is positioned on the eye level of average adults.

It's absolutely impossible to see the passenger's face...

on the window.

That means, the victim and Mr. Yasuda's face...

wouldn't be reflected on the window?

Yes.

In that case, the contents of the prosecution statement are false.

I'm afraid that she took the train again...

after she found out that the police would conduct an investigation...

and thought of this story that's full of coincidences.

However, the door of the train she took didn't have the poster.

In this case, the story cannot be established.

That's my conclusion.

Your Honour.

Can I question the victim again?

Objection. There's no need for that.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm late.

You're late again. Can you please behave yourself?

I'm sorry. I received a call from the court earlier.

What?

The victim said she wasn't sure...

if she remembered the incident clearly.

So she withdrew the case from court.

The prosecution has also decided...

that they cannot proceed with the case anymore.

The case has been cancelled.

Mr. Yasuda is pronounced not guilty.

Well done, Pochi!

(Not Guilty)

What is he doing?

It seems he has long wanted to do this.

We finally won.

It's too early to be happy.

This is just the beginning.

Beginning?

We received huge support from the bank.

However, they're hoping that our stock prices can go up.

Because of this, I'm thinking of having a press conference...

to announce the development of the new product.

I'm Togashi, the new department head for Research and Development.

This is the information for the press conference.

Excuse me.

Hello, this is Togashi.

What? Yasuda is not guilty?

Not guilty?

- What do you mean? - All right. I'll be right over.

Please excuse me.

Excuse me.

Executive Director Aihara, this is sent by Mr. Aoshima...

from Kyogoku Law Firm.

This is...

(Notice of Compensation for Damages)

Notice of Compensation for Damages?

Be careful. Don't spill it.

Congratulations.

I'm happy that you cleared your name.

Togashi.

You need to find work, right?

I'll help you as much as I can.

I think you're the one who needs to find work.

I have something to show you.

Cheers.

This is delicious.

Mao, you're so generous.

Did you win the lottery or something?

You can say that.

I got a really nice job.

I just need to shout that there's a pervert.

What kind of job is that?

Who got you such a nice job?

A customer named Togashi that I knew from this club.

Togashi?

It looks really good. Thank you for the food.

It's really delicious.

You paid her 500,000 yen for the deal.

We've already informed the company about this.

Appropriate measures will be taken accordingly.

Please be prepared.

Why did you do this, Togashi?

I have...

always been jealous of your talent.

If you weren't there,

I would be the leader.

I know.

Even so,

it's unforgivable to do that to a friend.

We're not friends anymore.

The company also abandoned me.

I get it now after what happened.

Isn't this great?

This way, you can walk towards your bright future.

This is your reward for fighting and refusing to suffer silently.

You're right.

The most important thing is that my family have peace again.

Do it slowly.

Victory doesn't come easy.

You should have a bigger reward, of course.

The notice mentioned...

that in order to compensate the defendant's mental damages...

due to improper dismissal, they are asking for 10 billion yen,

or they will file a civil lawsuit.

Ten billion yen?

An incompetent lawyer with no common sense...

is just making senseless resistance.

From the legal perspective, we don't need to pay a single cent.

(Kyogoku Law Firm, Notifying Lawyer Aoshima Keita)

Excuse me.

Executive Director Aihara,

Mr. Kyogoku from Kyogoku Law Firm is here.

I'm sorry to come so suddenly.

We're planning to hold a press conference...

to file a case against Kimijima Chemicals.

I came here to inform you about it.

(Notice for a Press Conference)

(To File a Case Against Kimijima Chemicals)

What do you want to achieve by holding such a press conference?

We intend to disclose the dispute to the public...

involving the patent of Kimijima Chemicals.

So that the society can question the sense of justice...

in your organization.

What sense of justice?

You dismissed the employee...

that contributed to your research and development,

yet the company is going to enjoy the benefits of the patent.

I don't think that is right.

If such a scandal is made known to the public,

before we announce our new product,

what will happen to our company?

What will happen to our 1,000 employees?

I came here today just to inform you of the press conference.

I'll get going.

Are you kidding me?

He's holding a press conference...

because we're not paying 10 billion yen?

This is obviously a threat.

Mr. Kaizaki, let's counter sue them.

We lost.

The Notice of Compensation for Damages...

and informing us about the press conference...

were performed using different reasons.

They're taking advantage of the loophole in the law.

Then what should we do?

Though I'm not happy about it,

we can only settle with them.

How come?

Why didn't you use this evidence in court?

You already knew the truth during the public trial, right?

If you used this,

we could win nicely and gotten a not guilty verdict.

- Pochi, are you stupid? - What?

If I used this important card in the indecent conduct case,

I wouldn't be able to get compensation from that company.

However, ten billion yen is quite...

I was just scaring them.

I think we can settle for 300 million yen.

Three hundred million?

By the way, we can get 20 percent of it.

That's 60 million yen.

What? 60 million yen?

Yes, 60 million yen.

Is that so?

However,

the patent and company's reputation would not be damaged, though.

Kimijima Chemicals just needs to spend the money and endure it.

Compared to that, Kaizaki,

a young lawyer beat you.

He seems very reliable.

It's Takanashi.

Takanashi Shoko is orchestrating everything behind the scenes.

Is that so?

Takanashi is?

I see she's still active in this profession.

That's great.

(Felix and Temma Law Firm)

Let's see. We need seven glasses.

Who is this?

It's the new legal assistant.

Let's get along.

We've all been in prison before.

I was wronged. I just confessed my feelings,

but they said I embezzled money.

Seriously?

Our staff are all ex-convicts. That's too much.

Didn't you run away? Why are you still here?

I'm here to congratulate the professor for winning the case.

But I don't understand.

Why did you let Professor Kyogoku be the representative lawyer?

Because of his face. I really like how he looks.

She said that again.

I'm also single. I don't have any reason to reject you.

Look. Don't they say that people think...

those who are fat are reliable even if they just sat there?

People would look down on us if there was only Pochi here.

Then...

Why did you want me to join you?

That's because...

Because?

- I'll tell you later on. - What?

Anyway, let's all work hard...

and create a law firm that's bustling with people.

A law firm that's bustling with people?

There she goes again. It's all about money.

We agreed it's to help the weak.

We agreed it's for justice.

You don't even have a license to practice law!

Can't I save people if I don't have a license?

Can't I help people with problems if I don't have a license?

There's nothing of the sort.

Let's all work hard together.

You're the practitioners, though. I'm just the administrator.

What?

All right. Let's drink.

Don't be mad. Let's drink.

Shoko, have a drink too.

Thank you.

Anyway...

Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Delicious!

Jump down now!

I didn't do it. I have filed a civil case.

Could it be a trap?

We have decisive recorded information.

There's a 200 percent chance that you'll lose.

Next, I want to prove the validity of our claim.

This is the real power harassment.
