You must be tired of our faces, right?

Nakakura! All you have to do is nod.

Your wife is waiting for you.

It's about time you confessed.

We found your hair on the crime scene.

The murder weapon has your fingerprints.

You were also seen leaving the scene of the murder.

There's no point in denying it!

I didn't do it...

There are several eyewitness testimonies.

It won't look good in court, if you keep denying it.

You understand that, right?

It's for your own fucking sake! Answer him!

Next, the relationship with your lover.

She wasn't my lover...

You say something?

I told you to nod.

We have a testimony saying otherwise.

- Read it. - Yes.

"On June 23rd, at around 11:00 pm,

after staying as a customer at Sakae Cafe until closing hours,

Nakakura Toru waited at the nearby parking lot

for Nishimura Eri, an employee of the cafe

with whom he's had an affair for quite some time,

and when she came out of the building, he..."

What do you think was the murder weapon?

It must have been the toolbox before the incident.

A hammer...

It was stolen several days before.

It's missing from the toolbox...

You murdered her with a hammer?

No. It's missing from the toolbox.

You murdered her with a hammer, yes?

I'm telling you...

That was good. We're almost there.

You were quite close with that woman, weren't you?

Yes...

You were interested in her, right?

Yes...

It wasn't just your fault.

For some reason it just didn't click, right?

Hello?

Are you on the phone?

Yes...

Nice to meet you. I'm Mami. Can you tell me your name?

It's... I...

It doesn't have be your real name.

Everyone who comes here is a Yamada.

I...

I'm Arima.

Arima...

I...

It's... I'm the...

Arima-san...

How do you want it?

You can keep your clothes on.

You can keep them on...

I...

It's for the better.

You did well.

This is the last one.

We're done after this. You can do it.

Let's put an end to this.

You can rest now.

It was...

I...

Your... It was...

It was...

Good morning.

It's not like being on time helps you find false accusations.

It seems unlikely that this case can be overturned.

I agree... There's too much evidence.

What do you think, Arima-san?

Sure.

Case closed.

I'm going to deny the petition for a retrial. Next case.

Sera-kun.

Yes.

On death row for two robbery and murder cases, and four rape cases.

No alibi. Eye-witness accounts.

DNA tests say guilty.

How could this be a false accusation?

- He's petitioned for a retrial five times. - He's just stalling.

Since it's difficult to carry out the death penalty while it's under review.

Once there's such a request, even if it's just to buy time,

it will get investigated.

Arima-san, are you listening?

Let's devote our time to something with higher chances.

We haven't achieved anything yet.

Achieved?

What do you mean?

So far we haven't uncovered any false accusations.

Isn't that a good thing?

Well, that's true...

Takei, huh?

Sorry?

Okay.

I'm just gonna go and make sure he didn't miss anything.

There he goes again.

Arima-san!

Please do your job.

Questioning is an important part of our job.

I've heard that you simply reminiscence with some old pals who joined at the same time.

I inquired about it with Tabata PD and Shibaura PD.

Not the same time.

- Two years lower. - Same difference.

Don't you get it?

Get what?

Police and prosecution.

Do you really think they'd ever admit that they made a mistake?

We're authorized to interrogate.

We also have the authorization to scrutinize the evidence.

Authorization, huh?

It's up to us whether a petition for retrial from a death row inmate gets accepted or not!

You really want to oppose the prosecution?

Didn't they transfer you from the Prosecutors Office?

They won't let you back.

I take it you have no intention of going back to the police?

Of course not.

The congestion at that time was horrible.

It was. You suddenly jumped out of the patrol car

and continued the pursuit on foot.

I did?

I had to write a written apology for us both.

My bad.

You really were too much.

- Takei-san. It's time. - That late already?

Sorry, but I have to go.

You do?

My bad for wasting your time.

Well, you can take it easy now with your retirement coming up.

You've been working too much.

- See you. - Bye.

This way?

Was he really that great of a detective?

Yes. He was a tenacious interrogator.

He hasn't been the same ever since that forced confession.

They had the evidence, even testimonies.

All that was left was a confession.

Everyone was counting on Arima-san.

They were sure it was the right guy, so he went after him.

But it wasn't.

It was all set up by the actual criminal to frame the guy.

The evidence and the testimonies, it was all a setup.

By the time they realized, the guy was already convicted.

They eventually released him from prison,

but a short time later, he committed suicide.

Your business in trouble again?

Your sign and your seal.

Wouldn't it be better to just get a job?

You'd have it a lot easier that way.

I'm going to retire next year.

You won't be able to use me as your guarantor anymore.

Your seal here and here.

That's the most fatherly thing you can do.

Earlier today,

the police have arrested an unemployed man on the suspicion of murder.

The suspect is

Maruyama Hideki (41), unemployed, living in Chuo, Kita-ku, Tokyo.

According to the police, Maruyama is suspected

of having stabbed Oshita Kaoru (68) in the chest

at the latter's nearby apartment on the 20th of last month.

He was interviewed after the murder occurred.

Did you get the impression

that she was the kind of person who's likely to get into trouble?

Nah...

I wouldn't say that...

I don't think anyone would hold a grudge against her.

It's so obvious it was him.

You can see it in his eyes.

Forced my ass...

You wanted that fucking confession!

I knew it's you.

I could tell from your eyes.

Impressive.

Look. I've been going to the gym.

Don't you think I'm getting more buff?

- Right. - You don't think so at all!

I do.

I'm serious. It's nothing like before. See?

You're always so moody.

Why is that?

You actually do want a glimpse, right!?

No thanks. I'm fine...

It's...

You're married, right?

I was.

Why?

I...

Your husband...

Well, I...

Which reminds me...

Something really scary happened the other day.

There was another really gloomy customer just like you.

"This is bad," he kept saying. "He's gonna kill me."

So I asked him what's going on, you know, since I'm in the service industry.

Then he pulled out something like a seal.

"Let me make you a seal," he said.

"If you make a seal out of this, your luck will definitely improve," he said.
