I instructed Nao on everything.

I told her to kidnap Rena from Muroran...

and to come to Tokyo and let Rena attend school.

She was just following my orders...

Suzuhara Nao has confessed for kidnapping Michiki Rena.

Fujiyoshi Shunsuke

Hello.

Okay. If you'll excuse me.

The arrest warrant had just been issued...

Yes, that's right.

We just left Shin-Chitose Airport.

Yes.

Got it.

The reporters are waiting already.

I see.

Watch out!

Step back! Step back!

Mom.

Excuse us.

Mrs. Suzuhara, are you there?

Will you give us a comment on your thoughts about Nao?

Cancel everything.

Since the phone is ringing off the hook, just contact me via email.

What else...

Anyway, I'm leaving everything to Kawamura.

Once things calm down, I'll...

Yes, we'll also talk about my resignation.

Okay.

This is Suzuhara.

Yes.

It's them.

Yes.

- I've packed your clothes. - Thank you.

- I'll go see Nao, but will you be okay? - Yeah, don't worry.

Goodbye.

What did they say?

It's all right.

I'll look for another job with Kohei.

It's nobody's fault.

I know.

I know.

Did something happen?

Is this a bird shop?

- Go inside. - Welcome.

- I'm back! - I'm back!

Welcome back.

People don't know about the abuse yet.

The media sees you as a lonely lady... Episode 10

The media sees you as a lonely lady...

who kidnapped a child out of selfish reasons.

What happened to Tsugumi?

Michiki Rena was sent to a foster care institution in Muroran for the time being.

Is she not going back to her mother?

The police have an idea what was going on, so they didn't return her to the mother.

But I don't know what will happen.

What kind of institution is she in?

Is it a public one?

The food quality depends on...

- Even now, are you still worried about her meals? - Tsugumi needs a caregiver who understands...

She is not Tsugumi.

She's Michiki Rena.

Suzuhara Tsugumi is gone.

She's gone back to being Michiki Rena.

Is there any way?

I want to see her again someday...

- and live with her... - Miss Suzuhara.

There might be a way.

If you're found not guilty, you might be able to see her again.

But why don't you just give up already?

I was told not to say anything, but...

Mrs. Suzuhara Toko will step down as president, so as not to affect her company.

Your little sister has lost her job, too.

But I admire them.

They're not blaming you at all.

You should start thinking about how to make it up to your family.

The desperation of a fugitive woman who wanted to be called a mom. What made her go off the track? Her life on the run, from Muroran to Izu

- I'm afraid we're closed... - I'm Fujiyoshi.

Are you all right?

Please come upstairs.

Muroran Underage Kidnapping Case

Come in. Muroran Underage Kidnapping Case

Muroran Underage Kidnapping Case

Nao will be charged and her trial will start.

Is there anything I can do?

I don't think her defense lawyer will call you in as a witness.

Since you have a criminal record.

You killed your husband thirty years ago, right?

Both of you quarreled often and you set your house on fire as an act of revenge.

If this gets exposed, it might affect the trial.

It's better if you don't do anything.

Okay.

You gave Michiki Rena a new name on the train.

Yes.

What was her new name?

Suzuhara Tsugumi.

What did you make her address yourself as?

I told her to address me as her mother.

Tell me precisely.

"Mom."

Um...

Has the police investigated about Tsugumi's abuse?

Yes.

The Child Counseling Center has also submitted their records.

Then...

will they understand all Nao did was to try and be Tsugumi's mother?

- Tried to be her mother? - Yes.

She tried to be her mother.

That's exactly the crime that Suzuhara Nao committed.

You let her attend school in Tokyo.

Didn't you think it was risky?

There's a higher chance of being discovered in doing so.

I only wanted her...

to live normally.

As a...

mother?

As a mother.

Nao did it for Tsugumi...

That's a crime.

Having an intention to be her mother,

that itself hugely deviates from what it means to save her from abuse.

You weren't acting as a mother out of expediency,

but you were really trying to be her mother.

Which was it?

Were you...

really trying to be her mother?

Suzuhara Nao's crime was that she held maternal affections towards Michiki Rena.

September 22

I was trying to be her mother. September 22

I was trying to be her mother.

How about now?

I still feel the same.

That ends my questioning.

Next trial will commence on September 27th at 10AM.

The verdict will be announced after the closing argument.

This court is adjourned for today.

The lawyer doesn't think she'll be acquitted.

I only hope they suspend her sentence.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Hold on a sec.

An arrest warrant was issued for Uragami Masato.

Just Uragami?

What about Michiki Hitomi?

On March 29th, at 7PM,

you stuffed your daughter, Michiki Rena, into a garbage bag and left her by the roadside.

The temperature outside was -4°C.

And she was wearing only a thin dress.

What you did was undoubtedly a crime, ma'am.

Do you understand?

At 5PM,

you are hereby under arrested for child abandonment.

Hey...

Rena...

Rena.

Please...

give me the death penalty.

Hurry! Hurry! You'll be late!

I'll remove the fish bones for you.

Rena.

Your shoes are getting smaller, huh.

- Hurry, Rena! - Okay!

I have a spelling test today.

- I'm so nervous! - You'll be fine.

What if I get zero?

Let us in! Let us in!

Go ahead!

Whoever fails will have to imitate a cat!

Okay!

Meow! Meow!

Mom.

I'll now read the sentence.

You're hereby sentenced to 12 months of imprisonment.

Suspended sentence: Probation period given and performed prior to an actual sentence, in which meeting the probation conditions would result in the judge throwing out the sentence. I will suspend the prison term for three years from the day of sentencing♪.

Ms Mochizuki?

She was given a suspended sentence.

Can you hear me?

Ms Mochizuki?

Yes, I can.

I can hear you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Yes.

All right.

I'm happy for you.

What are you doing?

I have to go to the shrine to give my thanks.

Do you really have to go right now?

Ms. Mochizuki?

She's coming back.

Yes.

Here's a little something from me.

Thank you very much.

- Please sit down. - Thank you.

I wonder why,

but upon hearing the sentence, it made me think of you.

There are so many things I want to apologize for and also talk about,

but I was told it's past visiting hours.

I'm sorry.

Anyway,

I'll tell Nao to come here as soon as she comes back to Tokyo.

Please...

don't tell her about me.

Please.

Is it that bad?

Tell me. I'll recommend my doctor.

I've decided not to receive treatment.

You know what that means.

- It's time to... - Hold on.

Chinese zodiac sign You were born on the year of the Horse♪, right?

Chinese zodiac sign

Yes, just like you. Chinese zodiac sign

You're right.

That's 1954, right?

Yes.

The moon landing.

- I saw it. - You did?

We share some common things, huh.

Yes, we do.

Years passed by so fast...

yet slow at the same time.

So many things happened.

Yes, many things.

Yeah.

Yes.

You can't.

I won't allow it.

You can't die without telling your daughter.

As we've discussed,

do not contact any children whose permission I didn't give.

Okay.

I have to...

forget about her.

Since she forgot about me.

I don't think she forgot you.

She's just trying to adjust to her new life.

It's all right.

It's okay.

Tsugumi...

looked like she was enjoying life.

She was laughing so much.

I'm all right, Mom.

I'm happy for her.

I'm really happy for her.

Yes.

Can I talk to you?

Dear Mom

I made a promise with her.

But I'm bad at keeping secrets.

It's about Ms. Mochizuki...

You've been calling her numerous times, right?

She's been hospitalized.

You know the reason, right?

Did it...

relapse?

She told me not to tell you,

but I told her she has to tell you.

But she said...

I rode on a ferris wheel with Nao and Tsugumi.

Ferris wheel?

Since I said I liked it,

they took me to ride on it.

I see.

I was ready to die with no regrets.

Don't say that...

One day is just fine.

One day is good enough to last your entire life.

If you have precious memories from one good day,

that's really all you need.

Nao.

Go see your mother.

Be with her.

And...

stay by her side until she dies.

I'm scared.

But you still have to go.

Even if you're scared.

Mochizuki Hana Even if you're scared.

Isn't that chair uncomfortable?

Doesn't it make your bottom hurt?

Stop by the cafe on your way home.

Their curry noodles are good.

Mom.

The snacks I got from Ms. Suzuhara are over there.

Mom...

Thank you for coming today.

You should go home.

I'll stay here until dark.

But you have things to take care of, right?

- You'll have to make it up to Ms Suzuhara... - I will...

come here every day.

Your concern is good enough.

Stop it.

I know it already.

That you always cared for me as my mother.

And you consider yourself as my mother even thought we were apart.

I know it already.

So...

let me care for you as your daughter.

Let me be your daughter.

Come over here.

Nao.

Mom.

I've always...

I've always wanted to hug you like this.

Me too.

Do you think ghosts really exist?

Tsugumi...

Natsumi says she can see ghosts.

She saw a ghost's hand coming out from the toilet.

Mom.

Hello?

Are you listening?

Yeah.

Are there ghosts?

I'm too scared to sleep.

Tsugumi.

I'm calling you secretly.

You sound close to her.

She sleeps under me.

- You sleep on top, huh. - I climb up with the ladder.

I bet it'll hurt.
