Why don't you try pleading to the gods?
Is fortune on your side or not?
Ryo-san... call for you.
Hello...
Hello!
What should I do..?
Killed...
I...
killed Kashiwagi-san...
A Million Stars Falling From The Sky
Episode 7
Are you okay?
Ryo!
It's all right, all right.
You listen to me now,
okay?
There's a hotel nearby.
Go take a shower there immediately.
You must take a shower!
Understand?
Wash away all discriminating evidence.
Don't!
I'm unable to take your call now.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Don't tell anybody you were here no matter who asks.
Go!
There's no more time.
- You too. - Hurry.
- You... - Hurry up!
It's all right.
You did it?
Morning.
Good morning.
Brother, that's already past the "best before" date.
Just like you then.
Well then,
don't keep it in the fridge.
Well, I feel I can't throw it away for another week.
Really...
Water again?
What? Calling so early in the morning.
Maybe it's for you, Yuko!
Hello?
What is it?
Ah, Koto-chan.
What are you talking about?!
And then?
According to the angle of the bullet,
the positions of the two shots are proven to be different.
But only your fingerprints were on the gun.
That gun belongs to Kenzo Nishihara,
but his fingerprints had been removed.
You didn't run from the scene.
Why did you remove the prints
when you admitted to killing the person?
Is there someone else besides you?
Are you covering up for someone?
Well...
Isn't this where I get some katsudon?
Get serious!
At around 8 pm yesterday, the director of Kashiwagi Group,
Kashiwagi Naoya, was found shot dead in the house belonging to
the President of Nishihara Group, Nishihara Kenzo.
When the police rushed to the scene,
they found a chef apprentice from Minatoku
of about 30 years old.
The police brought this man back
as an important eyewitness.
Kashiwagi-san went to Nishihara's house
in order to...
Yes.
It's me.
Brother.
Yuko.
What is it?
Don't move.
What?
Stay there, don't move.
What do you mean?
The devil.
He's finally started to move.
If you move...
you'll become his prey.
Father!
What I write here
is the truth.
The person guilty in Kashiwagi-san's case
was me.
He was disdainful towards me.
He used insulting words.
I hated him.
I wanted...
to gain freedom from him.
That's why
I shot at Kashiwagi-san.
Katase Ryo-san
didn't do anything wrong at all.
He
tried to protect me.
It was all
my fault.
In order to prove that
personally,
and
to make amends
for being a murderer,
I choose
to end my life.
Year 2002,
May,
the 21st.
So in the end,
Ryo,
you were
innocent.
I
really
loved you.
And
even now
I love you.
A lot to say?
Then treat me to a cup of coffee.
Drink up.
You know they don't serve any coffee in there?
Oh really...
You are the devil after all.
Why?
I'm not blind, I can see through everything.
Got a cigarette?
I asked you why.
Let me tell you why.
You purposely
pretended to cover up for her by making it seem like you killed him.
Unbelievable...
You protected Miwa-chan
and made it look like you killed him.
Deliberately.
You did some simple setup
and thought the police would see through it easily.
It was all within your plan.
Miwa-chan thought
you were really covering up for her
and died leaving a confession.
That was also...
part of your plan, wasn't it?
That cigarette...
does it taste good?
No! Miwa-chan's dead!
Someone's dead!
You idiot!
It's interesting.
It's definitely interesting, but...
the conclusion is...
Open..?
Lawfully speaking,
it can't be called a crime.
Everybody killed for you
with their own free will.
Then it's no good.
There is evidence.
Evidence.
What?
You.
Your life.
Although you can trick other people,
you can't fool yourself.
You'd better think about it.
In your heart...
there is an evil being dwelling.
You...
don't have...
the right to be a human.
Well, whatever.
It won't always be like this.
God...
won't always protect you.
God...
There is no such thing.
I'm back.
Welcome home.
You're home already?
You went to pay your respects?
Well?
It was that fellow's fault.
Still he could get away with it.
I'll go and change.
Miwa...
I called her many times,
but I couldn't reach her.
I couldn't talk to her at all.
Kashiwagi-san is dead, Miwa is dead.
Was it you...?
I didn't do anything.
They just
died because they wanted to.
We're all going to die anyway.
Me too...
you too...
I...
don't want to die without knowing why.
I want to die properly.
I want to live properly too.
You will live on.
Even if the world ends.
Like a cockroach.
Should we let it go?
Come here.
Time for both of us to set off on our journeys.
Are you going somewhere?
Where are you going?
Just...
That's not good.
A tamed bird
can't lead a life in the wild anymore.
It cannot be alone anymore.
Then you take care of it.
And...
do you mind if I hug you?
Being alone is scary.
Am I scary?
No.
But there maybe a part of me you don't know.
Doesn't matter.
That boy, Ryo,
got close to Miwa-san because of the Nishihara fortune.
But when she declared she was giving up her family,
she became worthless.
So he used her carefully
and made her kill Kashiwagi-san.
- We've said that before. - Now's the important part.
- What is it then? - Stop that, just listen.
That university student in Mita.
Ryo used to go out with a rich university student.
But when he knew her father's company was deep in debt,
he thought of her as an obstacle.
So he used his own woman Yuki to kill her.
It was the same as with Miwa-san, wasn't it?
No, it wasn't.
It was Ryo who did it all.
That Yuki girl...
She can't kill anyone.
Kan-chan.
Why are you so adamant on helping her?
What?
You like her?
Idiot!
This is boring. I'm not listening anymore.
This will do.
Bye.
I'll tell you where I've been
after I come back.
I promise.
You don't need to promise.
That's not your style,
making promises.
Is that so?
Give me liquor.
You can't drink alcohol.
Then where's Ryo?
I said I don't know.
Where did Ryo go?
He'll definitely come back.
Take these please.
Hey, stop it!
It's okay!
Let go!
Are you all right?
You all right?
Ouch!
What's wrong with her?
You know something about her.
I told you I don't.
I'm going to get a drink.
I'm coming too.
You don't need to come.
Well, I'm off.
Is that so...
He's in hiding.
- There you go. - That hurt.
- Be more careful. -Yes.
What do you intend to do now?
Don't know.
Forget it.
About that guy.
Forget him.
That guy...
never does anything good.
Me too...
I'll forget.
The other time...
You told me
I can go where I want to.
I'm still young, so
I can go where I want to.
Yeah.
I told you so.
But I can't go.
Why is that?
It's impossible.
Of course you can.
You can start over
no matter how many times.
I...
killed someone before.
It was self-defense.
I shot at someone while I was pursuing him
because I was new to the force.
It was a shock.
I thought it was all over.
But...
I'm still alive now.
You...
You should live life to the fullest.
Trying your best
to live on.
Like...
"Kinpachi Sensei" in the TV show.
I never saw that.
Really?
It's 23 past now,
7 more minutes.
Sit down.
The other time too...
we waited like this the other time as well.
Until the prescription was ready at the hospital.
I guess so.
Nobody
waited with me like this before.
Maybe that was the first time.
What?
Always,
I'm by myself.
Nobody would do anything for me.
Not ever.
Never ever.
It's not true.
It's just that
you don't remember.
Is that so?
You know...
You were such a small baby when you were born.
You couldn't do anything.
You can't grow up alone.
I took care of my sister
since she was two years old,
just by myself.
So I know.
It's impossible.
Five more minutes.
Good afternoon.
I'm sorry, coming so suddenly.
That's all right.
I didn't come as a police officer today.
I'm worried about Kan-chan.
- Kan-chan is... - I know.
Well then...
I'll get right to the point.
Tell me the truth...
about the case of the student from Mita.
It was that boy, Ryo-kun,
who pushed you into doing it, wasn't it?
And then
he cleaned the room up
to make it look like a suicide.
Right?
That's wrong.
Really?
That's wrong.
Would you answer the same even if Kan-chan asks you?
That's wrong.
I see.
Then that's okay.
Sorry
I said such strange things.
Kan-chan
believes in you.
Don't hurt him.
To me,
there is no God.
No one...
nothing...
was given to me.
If not for someone wrapping a blanket around this frozen body,
there would have been no one to hug this lonely heart.
That was the start of my life.
That's why I
myself...
became a god.
That way I can do whatever I want.
This is the only way
I can reflect my will to the world.
Nothing will come if I just wait.
No one would come.
The stars wouldn't fall.
Whatever I want
I will get it myself.
These hands will grasp it.
I don't need things like rewards.
I don't need things like love.
With my method,
I'll obtain the results I want.
It's like...
playing a game.
This...
would be...
my lifestyle.
You wrote this when you were here.
This thing is still around.
Take it with you.
If you put it here, there will be two gods.
You know, Ryo.
I
was worried about you.
I don't know
if you can really love someone else.
Humans
are creatures of love.
Not pawns in a game.
You think
what bad things can I do
with that angelic smile of yours.
I...
worried for you.
Sister,
I have something to ask you.
What is it?
How did my father die?
Did he really die in a traffic accident?
What's wrong?
Where is it?
What?
My ear pick of course!
Brother, you're using the pick too much.
You took it somewhere.
They said on TV just once or twice a month.
That doesn't matter.
You started rearing birds lately.
How did that happen?
A friend left it in my care, I thought I told you?
- What friend? - A colleague at work.
Hey, how much is it worth?
Brother, it's your phone.
You should say it's "kanari" (rather) expensive. (This is a pun on "kanari" sounding like "canary.")
How slow, you don't understand.
Quiet, you.
Who is it?
Nobody in particular.
Hello?
What is it?
It's me.
What happened?
Did something happen?
Thank you
for calling.
"Thank you"...
...for what?
I'm sorry.
"Sorry"...?
What are you talking about?
I lied, I'm sorry.
I really...
am no good.
"Lied"...?
I...
killed someone...
But...
I'm sorry!
Hello?
Please hold on...
At the end...
I'm glad I could hear your voice.
What are you saying?
Listen.
I'm going to...
Hello?
Hello!
What is it?
...Oh no!
Brother!
Koto-chan? It's me.
Yuki-chan's house! Tell me her address!
Yuki-chan's?
Right, where is it?
I see, okay, got it.
Stop!
Driver, could you please go faster?
Pick up the phone!
I'm not at home now.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hello?
Hello!
Dear God,
Please...
