TAGUSARI bros. (田鎖ブラザーズ)

I want you to get rid of that family.

What do you mean "get rid of"?

The Tagusari family…

Kill them all for me.

Mogi regretted it the entire time.

If only back then, I had stopped him…

That's enough.

Wait, I'm still talking...

I've waited 31 years.

That's more than enough.

Makoto.

Let me kill him.

They didn't run away!

They didn't even move.

Sakutaro and Yuka…

They didn't even make a sound.

That's what Mogi said.

What are you talking about? Don't mess with us!

Could it be…

They were already dead?

You too? What are you going on about?

Minoru!

Why did you stop?

She's obviously just bullshitting!

It's true there's no proof.

But there's no proof our parents were alive back then, either.

You're really going to believe that story?

You can't get revenge based on speculation.

Mogi is the killer!

But…

If the story is true, there's a new culprit out there.

Minoru.

That would mean Mogi isn't the killer.

So I have to look into it.

Just what on earth are you hiding?

Haruko Ashikaga.

I'll go check the remaining people involved.

The ones who ordered Mogi to murder them were the factory manager and Sasaoka.

Amagi from the Igarashi-gumi might be involved too.

And also Mr. Koike.

I brought food.

If there's anything else you need…

The Tagusaris came, didn't they?

My husband committed a crime for my sake.

This time, I thought…

I would be the one to protect my husband.

But I went about it all wrong.

Ms. Karashima.

I don't plan to run away anymore.

When those boys come back,

I intend to accept everything.

How did it go?

- What are you doing in your time off? - Just give your report.

I asked a senior in Anti-Organized Crime.

It seems Amagi from the Igarashi-gumi died quite a while ago.

He's dead?

Drugs, apparently. I heard his death was miserable.

By the way…

Why're you looking into this?

The guns were being traded offshore, weren't they?

But that day,

because Sakutaro took a gun home with him…

That fisherman named Koji,

was killed.

Next, look into a Koji who used to be a fisherman at Yomogida Port.

- Koji? - I don't know his last name.

But he supposedly died 31 years ago.

Hey, wait.

I'm busy right now!

Only 2,000 yen?

Dr. Kagura.

Do you have a moment?

What's the matter?

Could you check the autopsy records of my parents?

Your parents?

They might have died before the stabbings happened.

Mr. Kagura.

I'm begging you.

AUTOPSY REPORT SAKUTARO TAGUSARI.

Indeed,

the possibility that they were already dead isn't zero.

For both of them,

the vital reactions from death are unclear.

If the bleeding occurred shortly after death,

it may be due to blood remaining in the veins and capillaries

leaking out because of gravity.

So they were already dead?

I can't say for sure, though.

There were obvious stab wounds, so they probably judged it a stabbing.

If it wasn't a stabbing, how did the real culprit do it?

Since an autopsy was performed,

it doesn't leave a lot of possibilities, but…

Could it be…

Amagi is dead.

What?

Now, we have no choice

but to look for Sasaoka, and talk to Mr. Koike again.

What about on your end?

Our parents…

It's possible they were poisoned.

Poisoned?

Dr. Kagura said so.

They tested for it back then, right?

In 1995, the testing was limited to major drugs and toxins.

Only a few dozen types,

like cyanide or sleeping pills.

It wouldn't be surprising if they missed a poison.

Then, if they check the samples…

It was 31 years ago. They've already been disposed of.

There's no way to investigate further.

It's coming up soon.

Dad's birthday.

I don't really remember them.

They were the same every year.

Even when we gave him letters or gifts,

he would only give us a blunt response.

But…

Before going to bed, he would drink alcohol,

get tipsy,

and reread the letters over and over,

saying, "Getting older isn't so bad."

And smiling happily.

We're already older than our parents were.

Dad was one year younger than me, huh.

It's delicious!

You guys want to try some?

No!

I poured on too much.

Yummy.

It should be in here somewhere.

You take that side.

Found it.

Makoto.

We're the only ones who didn't have any that day.

You're using that again?

It's delicious!

You guys want to try some?

No!

No!

If something had poison in it…

Then it has to be this.

Dr. Kagura.

The screening results are out.

Thank you.

TOXIN SCREENING RESULTS

NO POSITIVES

As I thought, no toxins are showing up.

Please try again with a different panel.

That day, the only thing my parents had that we didn't was this vinegar.

I heard you used to be colleagues with Takahiro Sasaoka.

Are you still in touch?

I see, thank you very much.

I'm home.

Any toxins?

Nothing came up.

Where are you going?

Germany.

What?

I asked Dr. Kagura

to write me a letter of introduction to a forensics lab over there.

Using Japan's drug screenings,

only 200 types of compounds can be checked at a time.

What about Germany?

A single analysis can handle 16,000 substances.

It's that big a difference?

If a poison is found,

it means the killer isn't Mogi.

I'll definitely find it.

MAKOTO TAGUSARI CAN'T YOU FIND ANY LEADS ON SASAOKA?

NOTICE OF CLOSURE

BANK BALANCE

DEPOSIT

I'm a pathetic older brother, aren't I?

This is all I could leave for him.

BANKBOOK MINORU TAGUSARI

I don't want to be alone.

Please spare me from that at least.

- What's the rate? - One point equals one yen.

A man named Sasaoka came here, right?

Don't know. Tons of people come here.

Where is Sasaoka?

I told you, I really don't know.

When are you coming back?

If you're just slacking off in a place like this, please get back to work.

What about you?

Today is my day off.

Kudo.

I won't come back.

I went to see a lawyer.

They introduced me to the family of a murder victim where the statute expired.

The family said that no matter how many years pass,

the hatred toward the culprit doesn't change.

But they said they forgave them.

Because if they kept going, even their own lives would be ruined.

They didn't want the culprit to steal anything more from them.

So they decided to move forward.

I was stuck in place too.

That's why,

I intend to accept

my mother.
