My Home Hero the Movie (映画 マイホームヒーロー)

Seven years ago...

I...

- -

Sushi tonight to celebrate! Family gathering coming soon!

Okay. I'll go straight home!

Chief. Chief Tosu!

Whoa, you scared me.

I'm going to Kawano Body tomorrow,

so could you come with me?

What's wrong, Minamida? Some kind of problem?

I just don't do well with the president there.

Last time, he was like,

"You just don't get it. Bring Chief Tosu here."

That's the problem.

I got it. Let's go together.

Thank you!

Dinner with the family tonight? That's great.

Oh, you saw!

We're celebrating our daughter

getting into her dream department.

Huh?

I thought your child was only five years old.

That's my son, Akira. He has a much older sister.

Wow. They're both so cute!

Wait right there!

Ow! You're going to break it!

That's enough! Stop, Tosu!

Ouch!

Stop already, Tosu!

Get off already!

Get up!

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Tosu, newly assigned to the First Investigation Division.

First Division!

Odd, isn't it?

Someone so young getting into the First Division.

That's how good I am.

- - Oh, yes, outstanding.

But I want a word with you later.

Obviously I do, dummy.

Let's go.

The criminal could have had a weapon.

I told you not to move until you got the signal.

Is this how you act when a superior is talking?

I had assessed the situation.

He was holding a phone in his dominant hand,

and a small bag in his left.

I judged that the criminal

wouldn't have been able to counterattack quickly.

Even so, Tosu...

There were kids heading home from a nearby elementary school.

I can't allow children to get hurt.

Watch it!

Hey! Tosu!

Ow.

Okay then, Reika. Congratulations!

- Cheers! -

Delicious!

They're so alike!

- -

Being back at home really is relaxing.

Oh, yeah! I can make it this year.

The family trip?

I think I can get the time off.

- Wow! - Really? Yes!

Tetsuo, it's like you live solely

for these yearly family trips.

- Yup! - Yup!

Yet since you became a police officer, you don't come with us at all, Reika.

I said I'm sorry.

But your big sister is coming too this year, okay?

Yay!

- Careful there. -

It's my first year as a detective, so I shouldn't really be taking time off,

but my boss told me to take time off when I can.

That's a good boss. You might be in with a chance.

Please stop. You're always trying to hook me up with people.

We may be family, but it's still harassment.

I don't want to hear it either.

I'm just worried.

You keep on getting buffer and buffer.

That's harassment too.

Here, Mom.

More please.

All right.

Here you go.

So today,

I arrested someone for the first time since becoming a detective.

That's great. But don't push yourself too hard.

I'm fine. I work out every day.

- I'm stronger than you now. -

No matter what reasons criminals may have,

I can never forgive them.

We can count on you.

I carry a sin...

that I can never tell...

my daughter about.

Are you working, Tetsuo?

Oh? Are you writing another mystery novel?

Yeah.

It is my only hobby.

- You have fans too, although not many. -

You go on to bed.

I won't be much longer.

All right. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

"In the whitening sky,

the cry of a plover echoed.

The man, having finished burying the body,

shouted towards the heavens.

As if cursing. As if praying.

Perhaps the day will come when all of this will be forgiven."

Seven years ago.

That was when I killed...

my daughter's boyfriend.

My only daughter, Reika, was my treasure.

Surprise.

She practiced so hard for this.

However...

What happened to your face?

Someone's done that to you.

Reika's boyfriend,

- Nobuto Matori, was a dangerous criminal. - I'll kill you.

- -

What a mess.

- I gave her a good beating! -

The boss is asking for a lot this month, right?

Plus, Reika has really been pissing me off recently.

Let's just do it already.

- -

How dare you, Reika!

I'll kill her!

In order to protect my daughter...

- -

...I killed...

- -

...Nobuto.

You did this for Reika, right?

We have to find a way out of this together.

Then I disposed of Nobuto's body.

I made it disappear.

However,

I was suspected by Nobuto's criminal associate, Kyoichi Majima.

- -

You killed Nobuto, didn't you?

Of course not!

- Then, our family... -

...became a target of the Mano Syndicate, which controls these criminals.

Come on, this way.

Off you go.

Kyoichi was smart. A professional criminal.

Why don't we work together?

What?

Even so, armed with my years of accumulated knowledge of mysteries,

I worked together with Kasen

to frame Kyoichi for the murder of Nobuto.

Did you plant it?

Stop spouting nonsense.

Stop shouting, you idiot.

Everything should have ended there...

if I hadn't met Nobuto's father,

Yoshitatsu Matori, at that time...

This is where he died.

Nobuto!

- -

Matori was a top boss at the Mano Syndicate.

It's over.

He took his own life,

and tried to frame me as the murderer.

That was his way of destroying our family.

I have to protect my family.

- - I buried...

Yoshitatsu Matori's body in the mountains.

- -

Perhaps...

the day will come when all of this...

will be forgiven.

It's been seven years since then.

There's not been a day I forgot about the incident.

I've escaped through turning my feelings of guilt and regret into stories.

Perhaps the day will come when all of this will be forgiven.

A serial novel: A Sinner's Confession

Your novel has been posted.

No matter what reasons criminals may have,

I can never forgive them.

Reika,

who has no idea of my sin...

has become a police officer.
