Yakou Kanransha (Ferris Wheel at Night / 夜行観覧車)

I'd have to say so myself that I've had a fortunate life until now.

I had a comfortable life and I got into the medical school of a good university.

But deep down, I was scared.

I thought what I've ignored until now would catch up to me.

When I am forced to face inevitable reality...

Would I be able to confront it head on?

- Please find Junko and Shinji. - I promise I will.

Do I have no choice but to die?

Shinji!

Kensuke Endo has something going on with Junko Takahashi.

If we watch him, he should lead us to Junko.

Mayumi? It's me, Junko.

Can you meet me tomorrow?

Where do I go?

JANUARY 26, 2013 4 DAYS AFTER THE MURDER

GET OUT OF HIBARI HILLS!

MURDERER!

This is awful. Who would do this?

- Junko! - Mayumi!

- Please look for Shinji! - Junko, calm down!

If you don't come out of hiding, the public will think you did it.

Junko!

Please tell Yoshiyuki and Hinako that I'm sorry.

Junko! Didn't you meet my husband after the murder?

Please believe this much. I haven't done anything to betray you.

I absolutely haven't!

MIDNIGHT FERRIS WHEEL Episode 6

- Dear. - Where did you go this early?

To the convenience store. Where are you going on a Saturday?

I have to work on my day off.

- What about breakfast? - No need. I don't have time.

Come home as early as you can. I want to talk to you about Ayaka.

Talk to me?

About her entrance exam and other things.

Shoplifter! Catch her!

How does it feel to have your daughter shoplift at the place you work at?

I'm not sure what time it'll be. I'll call you later. Bye.

Have a nice day.

Yoshiyuki, you're finally home.

You didn't sleep.

Akari?

I'll make coffee.

Shinji called.

How is he? What did he say?

That he may have no choice but to die.

Yoshiyuki, where have you been? It's morning.

I e-mailed you many times but you didn't respond.

Where is Shinji? Did he call with his cell phone?

Did he call you? Isn't he a murderer?

- Will you keep quiet? - Not after I heard he called.

What are you going to do? Leave Shinji alone?

Let's go back to Yokohama for now.

What are you saying? It's not as if you can do anything.

Why get yourself involved?

They are my family!

You don't care about me?

I didn't say that.

That's what it comes down to! Your family is more important than me.

Which means you don't mind breaking up with me.

- That's going extreme. - You be quiet!

You should be quiet! All you care about is yourself!

It's a man's duty to protect a woman!

Your showing up out of the blue is making him confused.

- Will you stop? - I've had enough of this!

At any rate... please leave.

Hinako and I are returning to Yokohama.

All right. It's over between us.

Good. My mom told me not to associate with a criminal's family.

Goodbye.

Your call cannot be connected.

I can't get through after all.

I wonder if he turned off his cell phone.

SORRY IT'S SO EARLY. I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU. CAN WE MEET AND TALK?

I want to know what's going on with you.

What are you thinking? What are you mad about?

Ayaka? Time to get up. You have to make up classes.

Ayaka?

Good morning. Breakfast is ready.

Did you see the Takahashis' house?

It was awful. I wonder who did it.

Really! I wish the person would stop hurting Hibari Hills dignity.

Isn't that right, Satoko?

It can't be helped.

They're the very ones hurting our dignity.

They are in no position to complain.

But that's taking it too far by putting up slanders.

Slanders? They are all true. Am I wrong?

Oh, before I forget... It's a bit early, but it's for Ma-kun's baby.

You shouldn't have. Can I open it?

How cute! Look!

- Thank you, Mrs. Harusaki. - It might be too early for shoes.

- Don't worry. A child grows fast. - You must be anxious.

- Your husband must be happy. - Well, yes. He's excited.

When is Ma-kun coming back?

In March. He has to set up the next person for his job.

He wants to come home as early as possible though.

I saw Junko this morning.

- You saw Mom? - Where is she now?

I don't know.

She asked me to extend her apology to you two.

She said she's looking for Shinji.

Shinji?

I see.

Do you think Shinji killed my dad?

We have to believe in him.

We should look for Shinji too.

Yes.

Where are you going now? To your aunt's place?

No. We're going home once to take care of some matters and pick up some clothes.

- To Hibari Hills? - Yes.

Hello there.

It must be hard after what happened. I feel for you.

Why are you here today?

What do you mean?

I think it's for your own good not to return here.

Mrs. Kojima!

Look at the treatment you're getting!

If you return, who knows what will happen to you.

We, residents, should protect them.

We?

Oh, that's right. You're still a resident at Hibari Hills. Sorry.

Please leave. The association can't allow you to stay and be exposed to danger.

Why can't we return to our own house? We haven't done anything...

Please be aware that you robbed this town of its peace and order!

- You destroyed the town's image. - Mrs. Kojima!

You have no place here.

I'll be waiting here.

It's your house. Don't let anyone stop you.

Let's go.

How cute!

- Shinji, chose that strap. - Sis!

Don't be bashful.

Thank you. I'll cherish it.

When it's completed, it'll be Japan's biggest Ferris Wheel.

When it's completed, let's ride it together.

I'm afraid of heights.

We have to ride it together. Right, Mom?

Yes. I can't wait.

It's cold today.

Can I sit next to you?

Here.

How can anyone ride that? I can't.

I rode one five years ago. It was much smaller though.

We decided to take my son somewhere before we finalized the divorce.

My son wanted to ride it badly, so we did, but I'm afraid of heights.

I was scared during the entire ride and couldn't talk much with him.

Isn't that pathetic?

I wanted to create one last nice memory with him.

It must've been boring for him.

I think he was happy.

You're kind.

You're just like your mother in that respect.

What?

We were classmates in college.

She was gentle and kind to everyone.

She had a knack of making people feel at ease.

You're her daughter after all. You are very much like her.
