Original subtitles

This movie is based on a real-life incident.

First, pay me the money!

First, the money!

Huh? Huh?

Stop, no!

Stop!

Ah, geez...

Ah, come on, what?

- Hey, Kato. - Yes?

- Did you submit the report? - Ah, yes, I submitted it.

Submitted it? Really?

Hello?

Tatara, interrogation number 2.

- Huh! - She's a drug addict and a prostitute.

She's too seasoned, Honda can't crack her.

Huh?

Put your feet down, feet down.

You're on meth, aren't you? We're not amateurs here.

Is something wrong?

Hah... it's fine.

Looking forward to working with you.

Are you cutting yourself? Your arms are all stiff.

Did you get the money?

Before you shoot meth, you should get the money from the clients, or it's dangerous.

How long have you been using it?

With that face, it's been more than 3 years, right? Were you forced into it at first?

Bring me a warrant.

Once you get a warrant, it's an immediate arrest. Your chances for leniency will decrease.

Huh? I didn't go to school, so I don't understand complicated stuff.

Even the police can help you,

if you feel even a little like you want to quit meth.

It'd be easier to talk here.

So, bring me the warrant, like I said.

Focus.

Relax.

Release.

Focus.

Relax.

Release.

Hey, whoa... you do it too.

Yoga is good, yoga is...

To get off meth, you need a regular life and some exercise.

Oh.

Hey!

Whoa... I'm sweating, sweating. This is good, detox.

Hey, whoa whoa... you do it too.

Whoa whoa... you're kind of in the way.

I can usually do this, really.

I can usually do this, really.

Oh... ah, this is slippery, It's slippery, you know, this.

It's slippery here, I can usually do this, really.

I can usually do this.

I can usually do this, but this time...

Ah, okay.

- Hey. - It's slippery here. Huh?

Hey!

There's excitement, but on the other hand,

there's also the issue of volunteers that was a bit of a mess a while ago...

It's getting soggy.

- Table 5, bill please. - Yes, right away.

Olympic volunteers work around 8 hours a day,

and the compensation is a prepaid card worth around 1000 yen, right?

Yes, that's what they're saying.

If you want to quit drugs, come here.

We're open twice a week.

- The noodles are ready. - Yes.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

Hey, boss, boss, boss.

Huh?

The curry ramen is good.

- Oh, really? That's good to hear. - Yeah.

It's good. Because of the noodles, that's why this is good.

Grandma, Mama's home.

- Welcome back. - I'm back.

- Where were you? - Uh, just...

I asked you where you were!

Huh?

Huh!? Are you gonna let grandma starve to death?

Hey!

If you've got money to shoot meth, you better contribute to the house!

Hey! Hey!

Ah! Go earn more money!

Hey, hurry up and sell your body!

From the looks of your family structure, your mother's still at a working age.

And your grandmother's only 65.

Yeah, living in public housing, if you all work, you can quickly earn enough for the family, right?

No, what I'm saying is, what I'm saying...

She wants to get independent and rebuild her life.

She didn't even finish elementary school, she can't write kanji.

It's impossible for her to get a job right away.

Abandoning compulsory education is her own responsibility.

Welfare is funded by everyone's taxes, so we can't just give it to anyone.

You get paid with taxes too, don't you?

So do I!

Helping people in trouble is our job as public servants!

Do your job properly.

That's right! This is getting ridiculous, you idiot!

Yeah, exactly.

See, I told you, you idiot!

Ah, you see, we can't just give it out to anyone...

So if...

she goes back to being a meth addict and becomes a criminal, is that okay with you?

If she goes crazy and stabs someone, are you going to take responsibility?

You can't, can you, you idiot?

Hey, hey, hey!

Ah... Hey, light?

I don't smoke.

At least smoke a cigarette, idiot.

Hey, hey, hey... Give me the light, give me the light.

First of all, stop prostituting yourself.

To quit drugs, you've got to start by valuing yourself.

Find something you can be passionate about.

You want to quit meth, don't you?

Yes.

What are you reading?

- Hmm? - Yeah, that...

Um, just a little...

Lately, I've been pretty busy with work.

Today, I finally managed to come back to the recovery meeting.

Um... I've also quit meth.

Well, sometimes my mood crashes,

and sometimes clients piss me off, and I feel like drinking, but...

for now, I'm handling the meth okay.

Well, with this mindset, I think I'll keep trying a little longer.

Yeah.

Okay, next up is Miyabi-san.

Yes.

Today marks 170 days since I quit drugs.

Every day, I'm filled with anxiety,

I'm scared I might go back to meth at any time, but...

But this is the first time I've stayed clean for this long.

And it's all thanks to everyone at the Salvage group and Tatara-sensei.

Thank you so much.

So, Ann, how about you?

If it's still hard to talk, you can pass.

I'll pass.

Understood. You can share when you feel ready.

Strengthen your core and build a healthy mind.

Even if you quit for 20 or 30 years,

I've seen so many people where just one mistake was the death of them, so...

That's why,

Focus on today first.

Then tomorrow.

If you don't use drugs, mark your journal with a circle.

It's about stacking up each day.

These small days will turn into weeks, then months...

And then a year.

Got it? It's all about building it up.

Building it up...

Alright, that's it for today. Good job.

Thank you very much.

Everyone, please make sure not to forget anything.

Tatara-san is interesting, isn't he?

I've been with him for about three years,

But he doesn't feel like a typical cop, you know?

Ah.

This is my card.

Okay.

Would you like some water?

Yes.

Here you go.

Huh...

This is your first paycheck. Check inside.

Then write your name and address here, okay?

- Okay.. - Good.

Welcome!

Is it for a gift or for yourself?

Ah, it's for a gift.

Alright, both are for gifts then...

- Just this one. Yes. - Got it.

That's 2090 yen for these two items.

Okay.

- Please wrap them for gifts. - Okay.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

- Grandma? - Yes?

I bought a cake.

Oh, how nice.

- Eat some if you get hungry. - Okay..

- Chopsticks. - Huh?

Chopsticks.

- Here.. - Thanks.

It's delicious.

- Is it good? - Yeah, it's tasty.

Thank you.

Whoa, what a mansion.

Ah, I can't take this off, help me.

- Like a princess, huh? - Yeah, yeah

I'll take this off too...

there we go.

Who's that? You. Someone's here. Who is it? Hey.

- Ann-chan - Who are you guys?

This here is grandma, and over there is my daughter, Mama.

- Mama? - Ann-chan?

What-chan? What-chan?

- Ann-chan. - Ann-chan! Ann-chan, come here.

Ann-chan, come here.

- How about 20,000 yen? - 20,000 yen... 20,000 yen?

I mean, why is this place such a mess?

Bring the alcohol, the booze.

- Ah... Alcohol, alcohol. - Booze.

What-chan? What was it again?

Ah, what's this?

- Drink some water. - What's this?

Why is this here? Where's mine? Hmmm...

- Give me some alcohol. - Hey, Ann?

- Ah, I can't take it anymore... - Ann,

- Have you gotten your salary? - Drink some water.

- Ah. - Eh, what?

Eh, what? What... what are you doing?

Found it!

Feels good today, huh?

- What? What's wrong? - Hey, stop that; that...

Come on, it can't just be this.

Hey, don't touch my salary.

- Hey, mom, leave it alone! - Shut up!

- Hey, mom, don't touch it! - Shut up! Be quiet!

- Hey, mom, don't touch it! - Shut up!

Be quiet.

Who do you think gave birth to you?

- Your body is mine! - It hurts!

Yeah! Hey, hey.

- Go sell yourself already! - Stop that, stop!

You're bleeding!

So gross!

- Booze! - Hey, you're bleeding. You're bleeding.

Hey, bring the booze!

Blood, nice. Cute. What? What's happening?

Are you excited?

Shut up and die.

- Stop touching me! - What? What...

Ann-chan, Ann-chan, let's drink together.

Come on, up you go, yeah, there you go.

Alright, shall we drink? Shall we drink?

We'll drink more later, alright?

Let's pop in one. Just one.

- Yes. - Yes.

Yes, yes.

Hey, it's okay. There, there. There, there.

There, there. There, there.

There, there. There, there.

There, there, there...

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

There there, there there.

It's okay. It's okay.

Haa... It's okay, it's okay

Hey, this employment situation is way too shady, isn't it?

It's clearly illegal!

What are you talking about?

Working 20 days a month and only getting 50,000 yen is ridiculous!

I could report you to the labor office, you jerk!

Your voice is too loud.

But we didn't sign any employment contract, did we?

Hey, wait a second!

You know she's working, right?

If you ask the staff or the residents, they'll know right away, won't they?

See, I knows how weak I am...

If something tough or painful happens again...

I get really scared that I'll eat my feelings again.

Why does she have to work in a nursing facility?

She says says wants to learn how to take care of her grandma.

What?

When Ann was a kid, she protected her from her mother's abuse...

She said she loves her Granny.

Seriously,

she's not in a position where she can be picky about work, you know?

Ah, I know a place I helped during an interview before...

I'll contact them and see if they can help.

Oh, I'm counting on you, man.

Well, that's all for today.

Get ready for yoga.

Yes.

Oh, Naka, Naka, Naka.

Yes.

Yes.

Hey, what's going on with that detective case?

You're going for interviews, right?

Editor-in-chief?

Yeah,

I'm actually here right now...

Ah, but...

Oh.

- There's trash on you. - Huh? No, there isn't.

You always wear the same clothes, don't you, Sensei?

That's not true!

- Yes. - You don't wear a tie?

That kind of tight thing...

Ehh, I think it'd suit you.

Excuse me for a moment.

You didn't go to middle school?

No.

You can't even read kanji?

Well... the difficult ones... No.

If you feel like cutting, it's better to do it on your legs, right?

So that the other residents don't get shocked.

I used to be a bit of a troublemaker too, so I won't ask for details.

If you can take it seriously, please work.

Oh, is that okay?

Let's start with a trial.

If something goes wrong,

we can think about it together at that time.

Here, the training period is three months. After that, you'll be formally hired.

Yes.

Read it carefully, and if there's no problem, sign here.

This 'Otsu' refers to Ms. Kagawa,

- and this 'Kō' refers to me, the employer. - OK.

As for the worker's compensation insurance...

Uema-san, thank you very much.

For asking such a sudden favor.

Ah, hearing that makes me happy.

No, no, it's thanks to you for introducing such a good person.

She can't do specialized work yet, but she's doing her best.

Please come see her sometime.

- Well then, shall we go? - Yes.

I'll place your foot here.

Alright, let's go to the other side.

Alright.

Do you have tattoos too, sis?

Nope, I don't.

Want to see my rising dragon?

- Huh? - Look.

Look.

Dragon? Where is it?

You'll see it. Look, under the neck, near the mouth.

It rises all the way up my back, heading to heaven.

I wanna go to heaven...

Here you go, two beers.

Ah, it's here, it's here!

Welcome.

Congrats on your first paycheck.

- Congratulations! - Alright, cheers!

- Cheers! - Thank you very much.

- Here you go. - Yes.

Just so you know, this doesn't mean the BBQ plan is off.

If you want, we can even go this week.

No, thanks.

- Here's the chashu. - Let's eat.

- Tatara-san? - Oh, Katchan.

What? Your wife came back?

- Yeah, she came back. - That's great, huh?

Oh, and one more stir-fried pork belly.

- Excuse me, Hoikoro, please. - Sure.

- What are you writing? - Hm? It's nothing.

Wait, wait... Are you copying me? Are you grading ramen or something?

Come on, let me see it.

It's a diary, I'm writing a diary.

- It's all in hiragana! - What's wrong with that?

Yeah, study. Make up for the time you slacked off.

Hey, how do you write "salary"?

Huh? "Salary" is... uh, you know...

Thread-shaped...

Ah, it fits the thread part.

I learned this.

Yes, rice vermicelli noodles. Please wait.

Your order, here it is.

Is she coming?

Oh, Mama, welcome back.

Hey, do you know where the earrings I bought the other day are?

The silver one?

Mama, help me find them.

Ann-chan, what's wrong?

I haven't seen you lately, where have you been, Mama?

Hey, Ann-chan.

Don't ignore me.

Hey! Hey!

What's wrong with you?

Hey,

Where are you going, Ann!

Let's talk, Mama!

Ugh... Mama! Mama! Hey!

Uh... are you okay?

- I did it... I did it! - Alright, alright, alright!

Alright! Alright!

Cheers! Hey, we're going out for drinks today! Hey, today I'll...

- No, Kirino is paying. - What?

"Eh?" Don't "Eh?" me, you idiot! Let's go! Alright!

Hey, let's go already.

Come on, hurry up. Let's go already.

Hey, Kirino! Hurry up, Kirino!

Hurry up.

Drinking during the day and showing up late, that's unacceptable, isn't it?

You're a police officer, right?

I got it.

Normally, men aren't allowed here; this is a special exception.

- Do you understand? - Yes, yes.

Alright, come in.

Oh, sorry for keeping you waiting.

Yeah, go ahead.

You, be on time... you idiot.

Alright, come in.

Come in.

This shelter apartment...

Only women who've experienced domestic violence or stalker harassment live here.

To protect everyone's safety,

even family or friends are not allowed inside.

- This way, please. - This way, please.

The rent is free, but you need to rebuild your life.

The expectation is that you leave as soon as possible.

You are also prohibited from revealing the address.

There are many people here dealing with serious issues.

Yes.

Hah... amazing.

"Because I didn't have any money..."

"every day, I went around different supermarkets and shoplifted."

"School found out about it and rumors started spreading..."

"I stopped going to elementary school."

"I started selling myself when I was 12,"

"The person was introduced to me by my mother."

"I was told, 'I'm doing it, so you should too, Mama...'"

"Mama... when I say 'Mama,' I mean me."

"My mother sometimes calls me 'Mama.'"

"As for meth..."

"When I was 16, a guy who seemed like a yakuza offered it to me."

"I never got caught by the police, and I had no reason to quit."

"So I just kept using it, going downhill."

"But last year, I got caught."

"And meeting Mr. Tatara gave me the reason to quit."

"Even a fool like me was always kindly welcome."

"I'm really grateful."

Thank you.

You spoke well! You really did!

You did great, really great!

Alright, make big circles. One, two, three.

Okay, one more time,

circle around. One, two, three.

Alright, lastly, raise both hands and look at the ceiling.

Now, spread your arms out to the sides, face forward, and move your left leg...

Hasn't Miyabi-san been coming recently?

Huh?

You know, the one who was always so enthusiastic during yoga.

Ah, Miyabi-san quit.

Did something happen?

I'm not really sure, but I guess it's personal?

I told you, it's the other way around.

Four...

five...

Whoa, wait... be careful, okay? Please be careful...

Yes.

- Yes. - Yes.

Yes.

Be careful with your hands, okay?

- Please wait a moment. - Yes.

I'll head over there for a moment.

Please come quickly!

Is there no one I can talk to properly?

Please don't raise your voice.

I'm telling you, I'm the guardian.

You people are impossible to communicate with, seriously.

Do you guys even understand Japanese?

Since my daughter is a minor, you should pay the parent's salary.

I've been paying 150,000 yen a month for this.

But for today, could you please go home?

Hey, wait a second! Please...

Hey, wait a second! Please...

If you're there, come out already!

Wait!

Ah! What are you doing, not even coming home?

Please stop!

You old bastard!

- Hey, stop! - Let go of me!

I said stop!

Get out, this is my company.

If you don't leave, I'll call the police.

Let's go over there for a moment.

Mizuno, call 110.

- Quickly. - Y-yes.

Hey... I don't want this!

Stop!

Go home!

If grandma dies, it'll be your fault.

Uema, how did she find out?

Yeah, it's embarrassing...

The address she had them write on the employment contract was her family's address,

And we ended up sending the pay slip there.

Ann-chan?

There's no need for you to quit.

I told you at the start, if something happens, we'll figure it out together.

I'll inform everyone myself,

so just keep working earnestly like you've been doing.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You and your mother are two different individuals.

You don't have to carry your mother's problems.

You should do what you want to do most.

- OK. - Alright.

Come on, put your shoes away.

You have to check tomorrow's schedule, right?

Come on, let's go.

- Thank you very much. - It's going to be alright.

- Alright, let's go. - Yes.

♪ The answer must be deep inside.

♪ Deep in the heart.

♪ Tears come from there.

♪ Deep in the heart.

♪ Let's bloom the bright red rose of passion.

I've heard this before.

♪ Let it bloom in your heart.

What?

I've heard this before.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

♪ Let's water the vase.

♪ Deep in the heart.

Yeah!

Yay!

- Are you listening? Hey. - Yeah, I'm listening.

You've been choosing this whole time.

Sorry, to be honest, I wasn't listening.

Thank you very much.

Alright! Hey, hey, hey. Come on, you sing something, put something in.

No, no, I told you, I don't know any songs.

Anything is fine, even "Donguri Korokoro."

No, no, "Donguri Korokoro" isn't in the song list, right?

I didn't learn it in school.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Did something happen to Miyabi-san? She hasn't been coming lately.

It's either a guy or drugs.

Hmm... She was doing so well, though.

♪ I really love you, runaway.

♪ I'll take you with me.

♪ To a faraway world, just the two of us.

♪ Holding you, runaway.

♪ Wandering alone.

So it's been ten years since you were in the 4th grade.

Yes.

Okay.

Alright.

Alright, you can attend class today, do you want to?

It's fine,

because there are even people coming to school for the first time in half a century.

Alright, let's go.

- I'll show you the classroom. - Yes.

- What about my stuff? - Oh, bring it with you.

Okay.

Okay, this is Japanese honorific language.

It's difficult for foreigners at first,

but Chen-san is good at it,

so if you don't understand something, ask later.

Yes, it's embarrassing.

Let's all do our best together!

Alright, let's start with this.

Okay, everyone. If you were this child

If you were this child and received a notebook from the principal, what would you say in that situation?

Okay, Dean.

Uh... Yes.

I received a notebook from the principal.

That's right.

Oh, thank you.

Alright.

- Alright, is everyone here? - Yes.

- Okay, let's eat. - Thank you for the meal.

Do you want this?

No, I have diabetes.

Here, take one. Just one.

Thank you very much.

Ah, is that okay?

Yeah.

Right, the 9 is like that, then draw a line at the 8...

Yeah, that's it, that's it, yep.

- Should I bring it down? - Yeah, bring it down.

This... the second digit.

- Should I bring it down? - Yeah, bring it down.

When you bring down the 8, it becomes 18.

So, what do I do next? Can you show me once?

- We just did this. - Just show me once, I want to see it.

It's the same as earlier. Yeah, just like we did before.

It gradually comes down like this...

- Now, 18 divided by 4. - Hmm...

Now, 18 divided by 4.

- 4 times 4... yeah, 4 times 4. - Ah, this way.

Just like before, so it's 16...

Just like before, so it's 16...

- Hey, boss, one draft beer. - Alright.

- Hey, hey. - Good work.

You're working, huh? Hey? What?

- Should I teach you? - Huh?

- Should I teach you? - Can you?

- Huh? Of course I can. - Yes.

Ah... Just a moment, I'll be out now.

18 minus 16, so..

What? What? Say it again.

Yes, that's right.

Wait a minute, is that really true?

Welcome. Are you dining alone?

Ah.

Are you really sure it's okay?

Yeah.

Before it gets published, could you please review it to ensure there are no issues?

No,

I mean, the other party is the police, right?

I has a record for drugs, so it's scary...

If the case is real, we'll hire a lawyer

and make sure you doesn't suffer any further harm.

Ah...

Can I show that?

Sure, why not?

Excuse me.

Since when?

I've been going for about three months.

At first, the requests were for shoulder rubs and massages,

Then it gradually turned into something like that...

To be honest, I've also relapsed into drug use,

so I can't say too much. And, after all, the other person is a cop.

What is it?

You'll understand if you hear it.

What the hell are you doing, you idiot?

If you know you're in fault, strip to your underwear! Hurry up!

Just shut up and strip, you idiot!

He really gives off the vibe of a corrupt cop from the Showa era.

Is he always like this?

No... when we're all together, he's a bit more neutral.

He's not usually this blatant.

Well, just like the leak said.

Tatara is using Salvage Akabane for his personal gain, and he's making moves on women.

We need to find two more victims and get their testimony.

Um... where did this leak come from?

Well, it's obvious. It's someone who doesn't think highly of Tatara.

- Tatara-san, there's a meeting. - Ah, I'm good.

Hey.

- You finally bought it, huh? - Yeah, I bought it.

- A yoga mat? - Yeah, I bought it.

Oh wow, yoga mat debut, huh.

- We match. - You noticed?

- Of course I noticed. - You realized?

Then you... you should do it a little further over there.

No no, I'm doing it here today.

- You can't do it here. - I'm doing it here.

Eh~ I want grilled meat.

Grilled meat...

The expensive kind of grilled meat.

No, I really want meat today.

You're so...

In response to the spread of pneumonia

caused by the new coronavirus, mainly in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China,

the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced on the 30th

that three of the 210 Japanese nationals who returned to Japan on the first

government chartered flight, have been confirmed to be infected.

One of the three, a man in his 50s,

had complained of a sore throat after returning to Japan,

but today showed symptoms of fever and was hospitalized in a hospital in Tokyo.

The remaining two are asymptomatic,

making this the first time asymptomatic infections have been confirmed in Japan.

Sato, let's wear a mask.

Do we have any spares?

Also today in Tokyo...

I'll go look.

Tomorrow, where do you wanna go?

Tomorrow, um... let's try going to the park.

- That place looks interesting, doesn't it? - Right?

Okay, then let's have dinner when we get home.

- Dinner? - Yes.

Oh... I want to eat some mentaiko (spicy cod roe).

- Ann-chan! - Mentaiko...

I haven't had it in a while.

Here, this...

- Huh? - For you too, Hara-san.

Shall we stop here?

- Geez... - Wait.

Hey... don't throw it away.

It's a new one.

A large cruise ship docked at Daikoku Pier in Yokohama.

Supplies like food were loaded,

and infected passengers were transported to hospitals.

- Mr. Matsui - Huh?

- Teacher. - Ah, Louise.

- I have something to discuss. - Sure, what's wrong?

Um... tomorrow, I'll be busy with work,

so I probably won't be able to do my homework.

Hey, if you tell me, it'll be fine.

Hello.

Due to guidance from the health department,

We have had to reduce the number of people coming in and out of Wakakusaen.

It's to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

We deeply regret this,

but the part-time staff will need to take a break for a while.

We will negotiate with the health department to bring you back as soon as possible.

I'm truly sorry.

No, no, no, no!

- When are you coming back? - It's okay, I'll be back soon.

I really don't want this.

I've always had a feeling about things like this, and I'm right.

I said it'll be fine. Hara-san, you've got a dragon here, right? A dragon.

I don't know.

By the time you get back, I might already be up in heaven.

You're not going anywhere, Hara-san. You're healthy.

I... I don't know.

Thank you for seeing me off.

- Don't go! - Thank you very much.

See you again.

Stand up.

Bow!

Today, I have an important announcement for everyone.

Starting on March 2nd next month, the school will be closed.

Huh? Why?

I'm also surprised by this sudden decision,

but it's something the government decided.

All schools nationwide will be closed.

Since the new coronavirus is spreading globally,

everyone, please take care of your health.

During the school closure, I will give you assignments,

so please study on your own.

If anyone has questions, I will take them after class, so please let me know.

Thank you.

Alright, let's start the lesson.

Yes.

This was recorded at Hotel MOON on January 31st last year.

Is it correct that the male voice belongs to Tatara-san?

No comment.

Is it correct that this is an exchange between you and Miyabi-san?

No comment.

We have testimonies from three people, including Miyabi-san.

All of them were involved in Salvage.

Do you admit to having relations with these individuals?

No comment.

Do you think you took advantage

of the unequal positions between a police officer and someone recovering from drug addiction?

No comment.

I'm asking you this in a personal capacity.

Did you have a similar relationship with Ann-san?

In an personal capacity, I'll also ask you something.

If that article is published, Salvage will be finished.

What will happen to the people who were attending?

What about those who were quitting drugs by relying on the meetings?

Is this a threat?

Did you approach me from the beginning just to write an article?

Ann-chan, weren't you asked to do something like this?

The police...

What about the police? What about it?

Tatara-san has submitted his resignation.

Since it happened while on duty,

he will probably be arrested and go to trial.

Hand over your personal belongings.

Turn off your phone.

The reason for this arrest is that on January 31, Heisei 31,

at around 8 p.m. at Hotel MOON.

You called Mano Miyabi, whom you had previously arrested, to the hotel.

You are being arrested for engaging in sexual acts under the pretense of "punishment."

Graduation is coming soon,

We'll be separated from my mom and everyone.

This sudden school closure at this time is honestly confusing.

We've been informed that the graduation ceremony will also be scaled down.

Thinking that maybe today will be the last time I see everyone,

I feel really anxious.

Stop, stop! Don't come here!

I told you we wouldn't meet again! It's a problem if you come here!

Hey, Hayato, I told you not to do that!

Hey Hayato, I told you that's not okay.

That's definitely another lie. You've done that many times.

The same trick won't work.

Hayato! You can't go in that room! Come here!

That's stalking! I'll call the police.

Then I'll disappear again, I'll go far away!

Don't chase after me anymore!

Excuse me!

Hey, are you there?

Excuse me, just a moment!

Hey!

Yes.

Oh, sorry, can you take care of this kid for a bit?

- Huh? - I'm in trouble with a guy.

I'll be back in about a week.

Here's some money for food and for looking after him.

Oh, and I stole some snacks and masks from my part-time job, so they're in here.

Huh?

Even if someone comes, don't hand him over. Please.

Hayato, be a good boy, okay?

Wait... wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Huh?

Excuse me...

- Please, please! - No, no...

excuse me, wait, huh?

Don't cry anymore.

Here, here, Hayato-kun, here you go.

You don't want it?

Look, look.

Sorry, sorry...

Where are the diapers for this kid age?

- Huh? - The diapers for the kids.

Hurry up.

- Which one is it? - Huh?

Which diapers are for this child?

It hurts.

Alright, let's cross.

Ready, go! Gatan, okay.

This is tricky.

Alright.

See, it's easier, isn't it?

♪ Rolling acorn, acorn rolled away...

rolled away...

♪ Fell into the pond, oh what a problem...

♪ I'm stuck in a pond.

♪ A loach came out and said hello...

♪ Let's play together, little boy.

♪ Little boy, let's play together

Shall we go? Let's go over there.

♪ The acorn was happy and played along...

♪ They played together for a while...

♪ We played together for a while

♪ But the acorn missed the mountain...

♪ Cried and troubled the loach.

What?

That's dangerous, see? It says, “Do not enter.”

Wait a bit, wait, wait...

Wait, wait, wait, yes

Hold on a moment.

Can you do it yourself?

Wait wait it's dangerous it's dangerous.

Hayato...

You must be hungry, right?

Wanna go eat something?

Wanna go eat something?

Let's go. Let's go eat something.

Last night, Prime Minister Abe told reporters...

"Regarding the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.

"I've had a phone conversation with IOC President Thomas Bach...

"and we've decided to postpone the games by a year, or at the latest..."

Ah, don't do that.

You can't put that there!

Come on, look.

Here.

I made the hamburger smaller.

Who wants to eat?

Here you go.

Yay! You ate it!

You ate it!

Is it good?

You like this, huh?

Do you like the seasoning?

Is it tasty?

Careful, careful! Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Ah, what are you doing... okay.

Here, here, here.

Careful, careful, it's dangerous.

No, you can't.

No, sorry. Sorry, let's close this up.

It's dangerous. Outside is dangerous, so let's stay here.

Come on, let's play over here.

- You're Sara Misumi, right? - Yes.

I just want to confirm something,

You yourself left your son Hayato with Ms. Ann Kagawa, right?

Yes, that's right.

Do you regret that?

Hayato, you must be hungry.

When we get home, let's eat some curry, okay?

You don't like onions, so let's put lots of carrots in, okay?

No.

Be careful, okay?

After we eat curry and take a nap,

the one that sticks perfectly to your head, right? Let's go buy it.

Sorry, sorry, are you okay?

That's dangerous, be careful. This isn't okay, this isn't okay.

Are you okay?

It's hot, isn't it?

Hot, hot.

You're giving it to me?

You're giving it to me? Wow...

Alright.

Okay.

Want to take a nap?

You're sleepy, huh?

Here you go.

Did something happen? Did you see something?

What's that?

When did you have a kid?

I looked for you everywhere.

Let's go.

I'm not going.

Go home.

I'm going to call the landlord.

Wait a second!

No, that's not it.

Grandma might have caught COVID.

She's coughing...

She's resting in the back room, but it's bad so I can't go in.

So, can you come back just once?

We don't have the insurance card, so even if I call the hospital, I don't know what to do.

Hey Mama, please.

It's my biggest favor ever, okay?

Please?

Mama, please.

Hey, come on, let's go.

Alright, sorry, sorry.

Okay.

Ann-chan?

- Aah, there, there. - Hey, give him back!

Okay, but if we keep going like this, we'll all starve to death with no money, you know?

Hey?

Give him back!

Mama, go work and make some money.

Hey?

You bastard, give him back!

Huh?

Who do you think you're calling a "bastard"?

You've been neglecting your family. Who do you think you are?

I'll kill the kid.

Hurry up and make some money.

Shut up already, stop crying.

Go make some money quickly. If you get three men, you'll make 50,000, right?

Then just give me the kid back.

Alright, just go sell your body.

Hayato?

Hayato?

Hayato.

Hey, where's Hayato?

Ah, Ann-chan.

Hayato?

Hey, where's Hayato?

Where's Hayato? Hayato?

Where's Hayato?

Huh?

Hayato.

Yesterday...

the child welfare office came and took him.

What?

He was crying so much, it was annoying, so I called the office.

Then they came and took him.

Really?

What do you mean, "really"?

Really?

What's with that face?

Get out of here.

Ann-chan.

Hey... hey, Ann-chan!

What's that?

Are you going to stab your own parent?

If you can do it, then go ahead.

Please don't gather.

Please don't gather here.

Please don't gather, the "Three Cs" are prohibited.

Please do not gather together. The "three Cs" are prohibited.

If I...

If I hadn't written that article...

If Tatara-san hadn't been arrested,

Would she still...

Would she still be alive?

If Salvage had continued...

If Tatara-san hadn't been here...

Ann-chan...

Could she have talked to someone before she died?

I don't know about that.

From what I've seen in my experience,

there aren't many people who commit suicide because of drugs.

They want to use again more than they want to die.

She...

she... she died...

the reason she died was...

everything she'd built up until that point.

I think it was the guilt... the guilt of destroying everything herself.

She...

she had quit drugs.

She...

she had quit drugs!

She! She had quit drugs!

She...

she had... stopped using...

This was found next to the body.

Do you recognize it?

No.

Ah...

This is the list of the stuff Hayato can't have,

because of allergies.

Hayato.

She made lot of food you, didn't she?

Look, it's all written down.

Amazing, she knew everything.

Was your child injured or anything like that?

No.

It was hard getting him back from the child welfare office, but he was fine.

The reason Hayato and I can be together now...

It's all thanks to Ann-chan.

She's our savior.

Do you want this one? Or this one?

Um... I'd like to visit her grave.

Do you know where it is?

No,

it seems her mother came to collect the ashes.

I guess she didn't make a grave for her.

Come on, let's go.
