Silent Truth (再会～Silent Truth～)

The murdered victim is Hideyuki Sakuma, 40 years old.

It's a big case.

The Prefectural Police's First Division will be coming and setting up.

Please do your best.

Long time no see, Junichi.

You appeared before him as a detective.

If you bump into Ms. Makiko Iwamoto,

try to get more information from her.

About the lie she told.

Reunion for the four of us.

Let's open the time capsule.

We hid the gun that caused such a stir back then.

Detective Tobina came here,

and shortly after, the latest incident occurred?

What I'm about to tell you is confidential information.

I'm telling you this because we are involved in this case,

but I need you to keep this a secret.

The bullet extracted from the body was fired

from Kazuo Kiyohara's…

The bullet was fired from the gun that belonged to Keisuke's father.

It was identified as his gun.

That can't be.

The gun that was placed

in the time capsule, and buried here,

is the murder weapon that killed Sakuma.

It looks like it was recently dug up.

What combination should we use?

It doesn't matter,

we won't be opening it again.

Really?

Let's remember it just in case.

What should we use?

What about 1029?

Oh, never mind.

- Sorry. - It's all right.

We can use my birth date.

What's the combination?

- One… - Zero…

- Two… - Nine.

It's gone.

One of us here opened the time capsule

and took out that gun.

Was the bullet found in Naoto's brother's body

- really fired from my dad's gun? - Yeah.

Bullets fired from a gun have rifling marks,

and the rifling marks

of all police handguns are registered.

Is it possible that someone other than us found and took the gun?

Let's start by confirming that.

Did any of you tell someone the location

or the combination to this time capsule?

No.

I didn't tell anyone.

I didn't either.

If that's the case, we're the only ones left.

Let me confirm one more thing.

Did any of you

open this time capsule?

I did not open it.

- I didn't open it. - I didn't open it.

- Then why is it missing... - Hey!

What about you, Junichi?

You could've opened the time capsule too.

I didn't open it.

Did you tell anyone the combination?

No.

I'm sorry.

It was you, Naoto?

No! That's not it…

It's all because I suggested burying it in a time capsule back then.

I've been thinking…

Let's bury a time capsule after the graduation ceremony.

Time capsule?

Once we graduate, the school will be closed down.

That means no one will go there anymore, right?

Yeah, let's do it.

I have something

I want to bury in the time capsule.

It was my fault for taking the gun in the first place.

I had it hidden in the drawer of my desk at home,

but I had regretted taking it,

so I felt relieved when I was able to bury it in the time capsule.

It's also my fault too,

since it was my idea to go to the forest.

Since the armed bank robber is still at large,

all elementary and middle school students in the city

will all walk home together in groups.

- What? - You've got to be kidding me.

Even after returning home, you guys are prohibited from going outside

unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

- What? - No way!

- Hey! - Hey!

Screw the group system!

- I knew you'd say that. - Yeah!

What should we do?

- We're going there, of course. - We are?

We're going, right Keisuke?

- Of course. - Yeah.

You coming, Maki?

I guess I have no other choice. I'll go too!

All right!

There's no point in bringing all that up now.

What's done is done, and we can't undo it.

Let me confirm one last thing.

Tell me your alibi for Saturday night,

- the night the incident occurred. - Hey, wait a minute.

This is like an interrogation.

I just want to know who opened the time capsule.

But that's not all.

"The person who killed Naoto's brother is among us."

"Now's your chance to come forward."

"Raise your hand, and I'll arrest you." That's what you're saying!

- That's not what I'm saying! - That's enough!

Let's call it a day.

Is that okay, Junichi?

- Okay. - Let's go.

Keisuke, can we talk?

Hey…

I have no intention of starting a fight.

The police are aware that Makiko is lying.

Makiko's lie?

Isn't it true that the reason Makiko went to Smile Sakuma on Friday

was because her son shoplifted?

Huh?

There's no way Masaki would shoplift.

- You really don't know? - Yeah.

I guess Makiko didn't consult with you.

Was the breakup so bad she can't consult you?

Mind your own business.

The fact that the police suspect shoplifting,

means they think Makiko and Sakuma

had some kind of connection.

Don't underestimate the police.

Damn it.

It's all right.

What's all right?

Well, I don't really know…

But it'll be all right.

Fine.

Give me time. I'll tell the truth.

Why can't you tell me now?

I can, but Makiko…

Something important is at stake for Makiko.

I took lightly the things that were important to Makiko.

That's why we ended up breaking up.

But I had regular clients at this shop, and there was also

the matter of Masaki.

Ever since elementary school, he set his sights on Hamadai Middle School

and he'd been attending cram school too.

Okay, fine.

I'll talk to Makiko tonight and make sure we talk to the police tomorrow.

Fine. Let's get back.

Can I ask you a question too?

What is it?

What did you think

when you found out that Makiko and I married and then divorced?

Nothing in particular.

When we were kids, Makiko liked you.

That's ancient history.

Did you think, "Why did you marry Keisuke? You used to like me."

No way.

Or "You and Keisuke ended up divorcing?"

"You would have been happy with me forever."

That would've never crossed my mind.

Why didn't you contact Makiko?

After you graduated and moved,

didn't you ever think about contacting Makiko?

If I had, I would've contacted her.

You're right.

You contacted her though, huh?

No.

Around the time when I saw you in Yokohama…

Keep your hands to yourself.

Junichi, you were a police officer, and I was a university student.

Makiko was attending a cosmetology school in Yokohama

while working part-time at a cafe.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you.

Watch out.

There's someone staring at you, Iwamoto.

What?

Thank you for waiting. What would you like to order?

You're Makiko Iwamoto, right?

What?

What?

Keisuke?

Yeah.

No way!

I met her by chance, so I talked to her.

I see.

I ran into both you and Makiko.

I didn't tell Makiko that I had seen you.

I didn't want you to take Makiko away from me.

I wouldn't take her away.

Even if you didn't, she would've gone to you.

I guess so.

Hey!

You've always been like that.

Let's go back.

He's sleeping.
