The Proof of the Man

Kyoko...

Kyoko Yasugi's Fashion Show

We've reached 42nd floor.

We've reached 42nd floor.

Observation deck.

We've reached the top floor, sir.

Si-to-ha.

Take the elevator.

Yes. - Yes.

Is there a staircase here? - Yes.

Where?

Miyatake, come here. - Yes.

Show the detective to the stairs.

This way please.

It's a tough job being a detective.

Thank you...

Who's the victim?

His passport.

He's American.

Johnny Hayward.

Born on 28th October, 1950.

Mr. Detective, could we take a break?

We still have a long way to go.

Mr. Detective.

We need to wait for the autopsy to know the details.

Internal bleeding of the chest,

he died from suffocation.

Mr. Detective, I can't take it.

Dying here.

Can't take it anymore...

Go and report that it's fine here. - Yes.

Wait, who are you?

Can't you see my badge?

Munesue from Kojimachi Police Station.

The victim's called Johnny Hayward, he's Black.

Have you heard of this name?

No, and he's not one of the models.

Maybe he's a guest at the fashion show.

He said "si-to-ha", and fell.

Si-to-ha?

Si-to-ha?

His head was down, and couldn't stand up straight.

I thought he's drunk.

Sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Takashi Niimi.

Where do you work, Mr. Niimi?

I'm a manager at Toyo Technology.

And this is?

My wife.

This should be the crime scene.

Alright, let's split up and look. - Yes.

Check this out, Chief.

Isn't this a straw hat?

Hold on; straw hat...

The victim said "si-to-ha" before he died,

maybe he meant straw hat.

That's possible.

Si-to-ha, straw hat.

Are you sure?

The victim walked from

here to the hotel.

Looks like a straw hat.

The victim was stabbed on the chest,

and things got unclear.

To him, that looks like a straw hat.

It's raining. Let's try to find any evidence

before the rain gets heavier.

Hurry. - Yes.

Mr. Driver

Please stop at the lights up ahead.

Sure.

It's raining, let me give you a lift home.

No. What if someone spots us?

Naomi.

Naomi.

Idiot.

Could you turn back there?

Hold tight, stupid.

Naomi.

I think we should express ourselves,

enjoy the fun in fashion.

Your design has lots of charisma.

You think? I'm just bold in using prime colours.

I heard you got inspiration from the pictures drawn

by your son in his childhood.

Yes. Children have a fresh outlook.

Today we've invited your son.

Welcome.

What do you think of your mother's designs?

I never expected her thinking to be so youthful.

Frankly, I'm a bit shocked.

Shocked?

Talking about shock,

there was a murder last night,

when you were holding your fashion show.

You must be shocked.

Tsuyuki will now give us a full report.

The victim was Johnny Hayward,

he was born in New York in Showa 25th year.

This is his photograph.

He arrived Japan on 24th April;

three days later became his last night.

He was murdered at Asakasa's Royal Hotel.

After being stabbed on the chest,

he walked from Shimizudani Park

to the 42nd Floor of Royal Hotel.

Why would he do that?

According to sources, he can't forget about a straw hat.

This is the straw hat

we found at Shimizudani Park.

The Royal Hotel

looks like a straw hat at night.

Also, before his death,

he said "si-to-ha"

that's "straw hat".

At this point,

we are still not sure what's his connection with the straw hat.

The victim was holding another special item,

this is it.

But of course this is another copy,

it's "Yaso Saijo's poem collection"

published in Showa 22nd year.

Hello, studio.

I'm watching your show. - Yes.

I saw the victim

last night at Shimizudani Park.

And your name is?

I work as a waiter at Shinjuku's Aisa cafe.

Get the cars ready. - Yes.

Move away...

I guess it was around seven, seven thirty.

We wanted to take a break at the park.

Hey! Leave us alone.

Si-to-ha.

We thought he's drunk.

Yes.

Did you see anyone else?

When we walked across

the Benkei Bridge three minutes before

We saw a woman walking out of the park,

got into her car and drove away.

What kind of a woman?

Age and dress?

She was wearing an evening dress.

But it's too dark, I couldn't see properly.

What's the make of the car? License plate?

It's a white Crown.

I'm not sure about the license plate.

You're home. - I'm home.

You're back.

Morning.

Sit down, Kyohei.

You look serious, what's wrong?

Do you remember this vase?

Why did you take things from home

and sell to the antique shops?

What's the difference between you and a thief?

Kyohei.

You can just tell me if you need money.

Why resort to such stuff?

What was that look?

Say what's on your mind.

Stand still, why do you always run?

That's why I said you're useless.

All you do is lecture me! I've had enough.

Kyohei.

If I was a thief,

then you must be a robber!

Politicians are robbers!

Even this vase,

wasn't it a bribe from someone?

How can you be so rude to your father?

He's not qualified to be a father.

He has a bunch of mistresses and children outside,

why does he think he can lecture me?

Kyohei, you shouldn't say that.

Mum, you're low.

You know he is having an affair,

and you still wouldn't let go.

You're protecting yourself, I guess.

Kyohei, criticising others

doesn't mean you are right.

Where's this bike from?

It's Katsu's. The papers.

Don't worry, no news about that.

I dropped your pocket watch

on the road though.

Don't give me that look!

I panicked.

Hop on.

Your mum will lecture you?

Shut up, hop on.

Where are we going?

Find the pocket watch,

before someone else does.

Welcome.

What's wrong?

Naomi didn't come home last night.

Though she comes home late sometimes,
