...somewhat.

What did you do to my son?

He has been liberated, that is all.

Junichi! Come back home with me.

Tae is also waiting for you.

Dad, I am free. Goodbye, Junichi

A car is coming in! Please clear the road!

A car is coming in! Please clear the road!

A car is coming in!

Okay, a car's coming through.

Please make way for the car. Car's coming. Please make way.

Thanks for the hard work.

Hey.

Mother and child, right?

The 6 year old daughter died instantly.

The mother?

Unconscious and in critical condition.

The door had been broken into.

Suspect forced his way in, and pushed them out the window.

How cruel can you get.

What about fingerprints?

We found three along with the victims.

Yep, Tachikawa speaking.

Just a few more stitches...

The daughter died in her mother's arms.

Thanks.

Prosecutor Oe, what can we do for you?

I was already shown the scene earlier.

Take care of the rest.

What's with that guy, huh.

Hey Cap, Deputy Manager says you head back.

You got a visitor waiting at HQ.

Me?

She's asking for a lady detective working in homicide.

Seems you've been appointed.

Although it was confirmed that there were deposits worth 500k made twice on Saturday and Friday...

...the family testified that they know nothing about it.

We're continuously looking into the payment route, etc.

Then, take care of it.

Yes, sir!

Oh, hello.

Good morning.

Who's the visitor?

Visitor?

Tachikawa said a visitor has come to see me.

He dumped it on you, and ran away.

That low-life jerk.

Yeah, the worst.

Please get someone else.

They won't listen.

So, she's downstairs. Take care of it, okay?

I'm Ishikawa of First Investigative Division.

Are you an expert on murder?

Yes, I investigate, actually.

Your name is...

Anita...

Anita Marcia, I had seen a murder.

On my way back from work...

I saw a young man abandoned by a car somewhere.

When did this happen?

January of 1996.

1996!?

This happened 20 years ago?

Why are you only telling us now?

It it perhaps you're an illegal immigrant?

Back then...

It'd be troubling if I weren't able to send money to my son back home so I didn't say anything.

I have cancer now, and I'm going back to my country.

That's why I can say it now...

What are you doing diving in the basement?

Checking for answers.

Corroborating a report received a while ago.

A body found in front of his home, death by arsenic poisoning, 20 years ago...

A cold case, huh.

A strong testimony had come out.

You think it's credible?

Yes.

You'd be willing to talk after 20 years, right?

Is it worth re-investigating?

I think so. There's a change in the angle from before.

As time passes, circumstances and people change, just like her.

So it seems there's hope?

Yes.

Alright...

Let's get this above ground.

"Dad, I'm free. Goodbye..."

It's a suicide note, right?

But there are traces on his clothes of being dragged.

It means he was taken by someone?

At the time, Kudo Junichi was 19 years old...

It says here, his mother had already passed away...

...and he was living with his surgeon father and an older sister who was a medical student.

He lived a wealthy life in a luxury residential area...

But the son quit medical school after six months.

It must have been a shock to the father.

Then he joined the self-development group, "Liberty of Heart".

He was said to be an enthusiastic participant.

"Self-development group"... Was it sketchy?

Well, it depends...

They were quite popular at that time.

If it's 1996...

The impact of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Subway Sarin Attack Incident the previous year...

...must have been lingering still.

The world was in a disheartened state, right?

That time, he frequented a club called "Arcadia" on 5th Avenue... Have you heard of it, Neko-san?

"Arcadia"? I haven't heard that name for a long time...

Runaway girls and the bad crowd would hang out over there.

Is it gone?

Yeah, it went bust.

What's the incident?

Oh, this one. I remember it well.

You're kidding. Neko-san, how old were you then?

Back then, I didn't need reading glasses yet.

The detective in charge of this was Muto?

He retired around 10 years ago.

Muto-san was greatly disturbed by it.

Why?

The "Liberty of Heart" was a cult with radical ideas.

During a house search, they found large amounts of arsenic and the cult was forced to dissolve.

Arsenic?

They surmised the cult was planning on indiscriminate terrorism.

Just like the Sarin Incident?

Taking advantage of this young man's death, they were able to prevent terrorism beforehand, huh?

I remember that the cult was headed by a man named Morinaga Kensho, right?

I believe he's still in prison.

I wonder if he'll be finishing his prison term soon?

If it has been dissolved 20 years ago, they may have loosened their guard by now.

Very well. Then, take care of it.

Me?

You dug it up, didn't you?

We still haven't figured out about the unresolved mother and child homicide.

Sorry to make you wait.

I am Ishikawa of the First Investigation Division.

This way please.

Reinvestigation?

A person who has seen the body of your son being abandoned in front of your home, has come forward.

We apologize for not having any progress on the case for 20 years.

But from here on...

Please leave it be.

This matter is already finished.

Don't you want to know... who killed your son?

My son committed suicide.

That's what I believe.

Though he was told his son might have been killed by someone...

He currently holds the position of hospital director.

Thanks.

When it comes to family issues, it's something that can never be completely understood by outsiders.

If the family isn't on board, whom are we doing this for?

Well, regarding the matter of the car that the witness said she saw...

...it's gonna be a bit tough with just an info on "a black van".

Anyhow, it's been 20 years.

Hello. I came from Sagami Station. My name's Takagi.

Oh, you're here.

I'm digging in.

Congratulations.

You wished for this, right?

Thank you. I feel I've moved up to something major.

You look like you're going dancing with that neck tie.

You think so?

She is police inspector, Captain Ishikawa.

Eh? Oh... she is?

Nice to meet you.

I'll be under your care.

You two are going to team up for the meantime.

What?

Nothing.
