TAGUSARI bros. (田鎖ブラザーズ)

In exchange for stopping the eviction, the son

had to help "tidy up" the messy gun deal.

The son?

We know him as…

Mogi.

"Get rid of that family."

It really has …

Been a long time.

YUKITERU MOGI MINORU TAGUSARI

I'm looking for anyone who witnessed this murder!

It happened April 26th!

I'm looking for someone who witnessed this murder!

It happened April 26th!

I'm looking for someone who witnessed this murder!

- It happened April 26th! - Please help us.

Please help!

Please help us!

Please help!

You're hungry, right?

Eat up.

Thank you for the meal.

Thank you for the meal.

It tastes the same as Mom's cooking.

Minoru?

I'M SORRY

What about work?

Makoto.

Mogi is…

The deceased is Yukiteru Mogi.

Since an empty medicine bottle was found at the scene,

it's probable he died from acute drug poisoning,

due to an overdose.

KARASHIMA

Guess we'll wait here.

Excuse me.

Looking for the Karashimas? They went out earlier.

They had luggage with them.

My name is Tagusari, I'm from the Aoi Station.

Could you help with our investigation?

So Mr. Koike really was involved too.

Mogi was…

Threatened by the factory manager and Sasaoka

into killing Mom and Dad.

If Mr. Koike was involved in the illicit manufacturing,

he must have known about Mogi's crime.

But, I don't think Mr. Koike will talk.

We have no choice but to look for Fumi and her husband.

I have somewhere I need to stop by.

Haruko.

CHINESE RESTAURANT FOR SALE

Is Minoru okay?

Of course not.

He's taking time off from work.

It might take some time.

I never imagined this place would end up like this.

Kind of makes you want to eat there, huh?

They didn't suspect foul play, right?

So he really was preparing to die…

Seems he was talking to his lawyer.

He asked the lawyer to use the money

from selling the restaurant to get his mom into a nursing home.

It was a lonely end.

He didn't even have a funeral,

and was only seen off by his mother.

I went to offer my prayers, but I couldn't bear to watch it.

We spent 31 years…

All for things to end up like this…

It feels so foolish.

Find that couple for me.

I have a ton of questions to ask them.

Mogi.

Why choose a place like this?

Probably thought dying at home or the restaurant would cause trouble.

Was it all a lie?

I thought at least Mogi was on our side.

That's enough.

I'll take care of the rest.

Okay.

I'll do all I can.

Sorry for causing you all this trouble.

I took my annual leave,

so I'll be off for a while.

Excuse me.

I have spoken to the bereaved family.

Here are the personal effects of Yukiteru Mogi.

Thank you very much.

Got a moment?

Unlock this for me.

Whose is this?

Mogi's.

I want to use this number.

In that case, you don't even need to unlock it.

It's like changing to a new phone.

Thank you.

I think you'll only have one chance.

I know.

FUMI

Mogi?

I'm sorry. I'm a bit busy right now.

Did something happen?

Mogi?

Hello?

Mogi is dead.

What?

He took his own life.

Mogi was…

Someone precious

to Minoru.

It's thanks to him being there…

That Minoru made it this far.

Please.

Stop it already.

Please don't hurt…

My brother any further.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Please tell me what happened.

Why did my parents

have to be killed?

If I don't know anything,

the pain just never goes away.

It's all my fault.

Because of me, he

When she fell from the mountain, she struck her head and back hard,

causing damage to her lumbar spinal cord and brainstem.

She is stable now, but if things get worse,

it could be life-threatening.

Is there no way to make her better?

To treat her, we would need cutting-edge overseas equipment

and highly skilled surgeons.

Then…

What if she has surgery abroad?

The cost would likely be extremely high.

1995, APRIL 13

Oh, hey.

Were you still working?

Sakutaro, what's wrong?

I forgot the robot I made for my kid, so Makoto made me go get it.

Sadao, why are you here at this hour?

Some urgent work came in, you know…

I see.

- Are you all right? - Fumi!

- Call an ambulance. - Yes.

I'm fine.

I just need to lie down.

Sakutaro, look after Fumi.

What?

I have to deliver them before 10 p.m.!

Then, I'll deliver them for you.

No, I have to do it.

How can you say that now?

Sadao, please stay by her side.

That's when Sakutaro saw the guns.

Then, my dad…

What did he do with the guns?

FUMI

Sakutaro, he…

Fumi?

Fumi!

- The number you dialed cannot be reached… - It's no use.

Maybe Mr. Koike found out.

What happened to my father after that?

I'll try to look for Fumi.

I'll go ask people too.

Buy this from me.

But, this is…

- I gifted it to you... - I'll buy it back someday.

I don't know if I'll still have the shop then.

Hello, sir.

- Mr. Koike. - Yes?

Do you have a moment?

This is about Tagusari, isn't it?

What?

According to the chief, he won't be back for a while.

Until then, Ishizaka and I will support you.

When you were in the First Division you were in charge of that case, right?

The Tagusari family murder 31 years ago.

Mr. Tagusari once told me…

If your own family was murdered,

and the killer was in front of you, what would you do?

What if they were laughing,

without ever having made amends?

Of course, I would arrest them.

Because that is our job.

And what does that solve?

How does Mr. Tagusari intend to end this?

- Could he be planning reven... - Kudo.

Stay out of this.

Kudo.

Haruko isn't here, you know.

I just saw her at our station a moment ago.

Seems Public Safety arrested her on suspicion of illegal operations.

How about next week or something?

You promised you would get a drink with me.

I found a really great place.

- Sorry, I have something I must do. - What's that "something"?

If you can't even talk about it,

then please don't do it.

Even if the statute has expired,

if you expose the crime, the guilt remains in society.
