Previously on Stone's Cocoon
You're Yaginuma Masato, aren't you?
We can't allow a third victim.
You incompetent police wouldn't be interested in an unsolved kidnap case, would you?
Why is that clock moving?
Run! Run!
Stone's Cocoon Episode 5 Finale
Dad, what are you reading?
Hm?
Today's newspaper.
Checking whether there's anyone anywhere who's in trouble.
If there's anyone in trouble, we must help them.
So there's nobody in trouble?
Yeah.
But
There's someone who will be from now on.
A boy who's around the same age as you.
The boy and his mother
were attacked by bad guys.
The boy's mother was killed by the bad guys.
That's why when the boy grows up
he will want the bad guys who murdered his mother
to suffer.
Who are those people?
The bad guys who attacked them
and the police
who weren't able to save them.
So Toko
don't become a police, okay?
Kisaragi!
Oi!
Kisaragi!
Are you okay?
Where's Takano?
I don't see Kisaragi too!
Senior...senior
Is everyone okay?
Yeah.
Let's just get out of here now.
Can you stand up?
I'm fine.
Don't push yourself.
The place might collapse.
Let's hurry.
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize. -Okay.
I should be the one saying that.
Kisaragi
We're saved, thanks to you.
Thank you.
Takano-san?
Kisaragi!
I can walk.
Takano-san, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Ambulance!
I'll get the car.
Please! -Yes!
But the case is still... -Just go.
You'll only get in the way like this.
Sorry.
Takano, go with her.
Okay. -I'm fine on my own.
Just go! -Okay.
Still
you figured out Toremi's trap.
Yeah
When I think from Masato's position
He should be holding grudge upon the kidnappers and police.
The third victim
in other words
the people he seeks revenge on might be us the police.
That was why Toremi
didn't make us admit our mistakes.
He didn't abuse us verbally either.
He was always speaking formally with us.
He set the trap from the very beginning.
Yeah
Everything was to avoid us from paying attention to him.
A trap
to make us trust in him.
But
Something... -What is it?
I don't think this is over yet.
I'm a bit tired...
How did he get the bomb?
We just received information from Public Safety.
A month ago
there was an explosion at a factory.
We suspect it's connected to Toremi.
Too late!
If only they contacted us earlier.
The bombs used in that case were old, weren't they?
The same with this incident.
Masato connected the bomb to the clock.
A clock that still moved after 17 years.
I should have noticed it earlier.
Kisaragi, are you okay?
Sorry to worry you all. -Don't say that.
This time, we're saved because of you.
If you didn't notice the trap, there would've been dead casualty.
We're grateful to you.
No, that's...
Kisaragi
Come
Yes.
Sit down.
Are you really okay?
Yes. The CT and X-ray results were fine.
That's great.
What about the officers?
I heard they regained consciousness just now.
I see.
Even though I talked with him on the phone everyday.
If only I noticed earlier,
nobody would have been injured. -Don't feel down.
I'm not.
I'm just mad at myself.
Today's explosion
revealed his true target.
He won't fool us again next time.
Yes.
We'll announce the suspect as Yaginuma Masato to the press shortly.
It's only a matter of time till we arrest him. -Yes.
We'll make him regret for making us the enemy.
Yes.
Another thing
Go home for today.
Eh...but the case is still
This is an order from Chief Kamiya.
To go home and rest.
But
Listen Kisaragi
Toremi might call again tomorrow.
We need you to be in your best condition when that time comes.
That's true but...
We need you.
Got it?
I understand.
Kisaragi
You're going home alone?
I'm not treating you like a child.
Just worried about you.
Don't be mad over trivial thing like this.
I'm not angry.
Senior
You called me Kisaragi.
Calling me by my name.
That's true.
I'm going.
We'll contact you if we find out anything.
Please do so!
To Mum I'm going back today. Will arrive at 7.30pm. Is there anything you want me to buy?
Thank you.
Thanks. -See you.
What's wrong, Takano-san?
That was why he peeled off the mortar. -What is it?
We might be able to find out Toremi's face.
Eh..wait!
The night of July 8th,
more specifically on the 9th, after 2am.
There was an alarm commotion at a supermarket.
Toremi's face might be captured by the security camera at the supermarket.
What?
What do you mean?
I've always been wondering about Izawa's chest.
Wasn't that because he wanted to retrieve something?
I've been thinking of the reason Izawa was stripped on the upper half body.
There's an AED at the vendor machine just now.
After seeing that, I remembered the AED from this afternoon.
That is connected to Izawa.
He had weak heart 5 years ago.
This is my theory.
On July 9th, 2am
Izawa went into Toremi's car.
For some reason, Izawa's condition suddenly got worse.
Having a weak heart, it probably escalated to heart attack.
If Izawa's dead, Toremi wouldn't be able to find out Abe's whereabout.
No matter what, he couldn't let the kidnapper he hated so much
to die easily without any confession.
In a hurry, Toremi recalled an AED available at a nearby supermarket.
He probably knew from the time he was monitoring Izawa in the neighborhood.
[On the bare chest, position the AED patches]
After taking the AED, Toremi returned to the car.
He managed to revive Izawa after the treatment.
But that left burn marks on Izawa's chest.
If Izawa's chest was burnt
then the police would've considered the usage of AED.
If this clue about the AED surfaced
then the police would start searching for recent usage of AED in the neighborhood.
We would then be able to find out his face from the security camera.
So in order to mislead us
he deliberately damaged the skin.
If a tree is hidden in a forest, this is a wound within wounds.
We've just announced nationwide that Yaginuma Masato, 23 years old
is the suspect of the serial murder at Atago Minami.
The suspect's height
180 cm
Body type is slender.
I'll prepare dinner. Buy milk only. From Mum
I'm home.
Mum?
I'm back.
Mum
What's wrong, Mum?
Mum!
Welcome to my lair.
Should I say 'Nice to meet you'?
Kisaragi Toko
Toremi?
With this, everyone's gathered.
Why?
You still have no idea?
Just think of yourself as the protagonist of this play.
Protagonist?
From the beginning
You've been my target all along.
That..no, don't!
This was what that police Kisaragi Isao wore, wasn't it?
Unexpectedly this looks good on me.
Give it back!
Though I'm not at all happy about it.
Mum
When did you come?
The moment you left for the case.
The day you discovered Izawa.
Then...
What about the mail?
Just now.
You mean this?
Due to the investigation
you stayed over at Atago Minami.
So this is one of the safest place, you see.
The first day of investigation
during the middle of the meeting
you called us.
Was that
to confirm that I was in the task force?
Yes.
The night you left the photographs
was also to confirm my presence, wasn't it?
Having not realized this for 4 days
Still dare to call yourself a police?
Mum
I'm sorry
Please let my mother go.
My mother wasn't rescued.
That revenge is already over, isn't it?
That has nothing to do with us.
Of course it's related.
It was because your father angered Izawa that my mother was killed.
As the wife and daughter
you're telling me you're not responsible?
We are
not responsible.
No
Because of you
my life was destroyed.
You have to atone for your brainless father's mistakes.
Stop it
Stop it!
Mum
Don't worry.
The police will surely come to rescue us.
In order not to be killed
delay the time.
Help will
definitely come, okay?
Hang in there.
What were you talking about?
Toremi
The police still don't
understand something.
The third kidnapper
doesn't exist right?
There was a third kidnapper.
He's already dead.
A person connected to the kidnap case that can not be forgiven.
I don't even want to recall about him.
There wasn't even a moment of his affection in my memory.
I will surely fail Masato too.
Who recorded this?
The person with Takaaki on the rooftop.
In other words, it should be someone close to Takaaki.
Yaginuma Takaaki?
Your father was the kidnapper?
Biru
Is this him? -Should we hand this to crime lab?
No
Where did I...
Senior?
Don't tell me...
Damn it
Let's go Biru! -Yes!
Thank you! -Thank you!
A fake kidnapping?
A father kidnapped his own son?
Normally that's unbelievable.
But
What if he wasn't an ordinary father?
After Mum died
he told me.
Are you really my son?
He was a human scum.
In order to pay his debts, he kidnapped me.
But
you mean Wakako-san was unlucky to be there
and was attacked?
Don't speak about my mother.
I'm sorry.
My poor mother was hardened with mortar underneath the water.
She was left there without anyone knowing all this time.
To let me find her instead of you incompetent police.
After I saw the Large Pompeii's victims
The shock I experienced made me unable to stop shivering.
The victims who were trapped inside the ash looked so similar to my poor mother.
I will return the agony my mother experienced.
I swore in my heart.
I'd been restraining myself as I monitored you incompetent cops closely.
From the beginning
I've talked to you before, you know.
Toremi
I...
I've heard your voice before.
I know who you are.
Ah..welcome!
It's full house today. We can't take anymore.
We're shorthanded. The part-timer also quit suddenly.
Hey Biru!
Contact Hayase-san! -Got it!
You are
the part-timer
Yokoi-san.
Looks like I got exposed faster than expected.
You are
Yaginuma Masato?
Even though I was so close by, yet you never realized.
This is truly a gathering of incompetent cops.
Abe and Izawa
Yaginuma Takaaki too.
For me, he was a father I deserve to hate.
The one who pushed him
was you?
The first step of my revenge, you see.
You called him to the rooftop?
You made up the suicide note too?
Thinking about it now, it sounds like a lie used to trick children.
Still it tricked the incompetent cops who decided it was a suicide.
The notebook you're holding
what was written in it?
This?
The details of the fake kidnap plan.
How much should Grandpa pay for the ransom.
The shares for both Izawa and Abe.
The things to be done if things didn't go as planned.
That guy planned everything thoroughly.
The 'details'
about why the plan failed.
Was it written there?
Yeah
Incompetent police.
In particular, it was Kisaragi's fault the plan failed.
It took only one try to find out on the net, with an unusual surname like yours.
What do you think that news was?
The obituary of Kisaragi Isao.
I hate the fate.
I wanted to kill Kisaragi Isao with my own hands.
And then
I happened to see his name again on a homepage.
After reading the essay, I thought he was shameless.
How dare he wrote about me and my mother.
But it wasn't long before God blessed me.
The police visited the OB Cafe where I worked
and I met Kisaragi Isao's daughter.
But
didn't you start working there
about a year ago?
I found out when boss called your name.
Then I saw your face.
I never expected you're Kisaragi Isao's daughter.
This spring
Something piqued my interest at OB's Cafe.
The new member is a female, right?
I heard from Hayase-san.
Is it the one on this month's bulletin board?
Her father was a cop
with an unusual surname...what was it again
May...October...
Or something to do with lunar month?
Then it came to me right away.
I immediately asked boss about you.
He told me you're a second generation police.
Are you kidding me?! I will never forgive the police.
Especially that bastard Kisaragi Isao.
Since the daughter becomes a cop, I take it as a challenge.
Your father's existense was a mistake.
You too, the daughter who becomes a cop.
That's why I'm punishing both of you.
Me and my mother's case that was forgotten
I want the world to recall it again.
You're wrong!
What?
My father
has not forgotten
about you and your mother till the day he died!
There should be documents left behind.
Mum
The documents Dad wrote
about unsolved cases after he retired.
Do you know where they are?
Mum!
Try check the altar.
A month after Masato was found
there are still no significant clues.
Even so, for those at the crime scene
the pain of the victims, 1/1000 of it
even if 1/10000 of it, I want to share them.
As the time passes, he might recall something.
Can you please let me see him? -That's enough!
In order to speak with Masato, I visited Yaginuma's house.
(Isao) I'll come again!
Ah...
Yaginuma Takaaki-san committed suicide.
With this, the people who remember the case has decreased.
But
it should never be forgotten.
That...as someone connected to the case
is the least I could do.
I was lonely.
Nobody remembered anything about me and my mother.
No, my father...
I was alone all this time ever since my mother was gone.
Nobody cared about us.
Listen
My father
still cared about both of you until he died 10 years ago.
Me too.
I will harden the both of you with mortar.
You'll be together forever.
You should be grateful.
Kisaragi-san
Let's end this.
Mum
Be strong!
I'll definitely save you.
Definitely save you.
Mum
What should I do?
Dad
Save us.
Kisaragi-san
It doesn't seem like a blackout.
What are you scheming?
There's no use to hide.
I will definitely harden you with mortar.
Toremi!
Mum
We're escaping, okay?
You can walk, right?
Mum?
Kisaragi!
Mum
Mum...
Help...
I'll kill you!
Kill you!
Toko!
Toko
Toko!
Mum!
Mum, that's enough! -Toko!
Toko!
Mum!
It's alright.
Kisaragi!
Yes?
Excuse me
Chief
Am I disturbing?
No.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'll be discharged tomorrow.
Mum...needs more time.
But there's nothing to worry about.
I see.
That's good.
Kisaragi
You've done well this time.
No
I've caused trouble for everyone.
Always getting in the way. -That's not true.
You did your job dutifully.
But if...
If you wish
to transfer to another division
I'll accept it.
Eh?
You just went through a dangerous situation.
It's okay if you want to rest a bit.
There's also the mental shock... -I'm not transferring.
Chief
I'm a member of 1st Division.
I...
am ready
to be a cop.
Once she makes up her mind, she won't change it.
Ah...Madam.
Mum
She's a stubborn child.
Mum
Just like her father.
Kamiya-san
Please take care of my daughter.
I understand.
It's not broken anywhere.
It's a tough one.
Thank you.
Masato failed to take revenge on us.
He must be unsatisfied, right?
The notebook at Shizuoka.
You wrote this recently to disturb our investigation.
Then you left it deliberately for the police.
Look...
How about you start speaking?
He read the documents Kisaragi's father wrote.
Deep inside, he probably
feels some sense of atonement.
Yaginuma Wakako
Masato's mother, isn't it?
Yeah
For Masato
his mother's very existence is sacred.
This statue
is the reincarnation he made of his mother, isn't it?
The profound emotion of a mother
is supposed to be one of pure affection
and yet...
Even though we were faced with a difficult and heinous crime
It is the result of your courage and efforts that the case is solved.
In addition
An unsolved crime from 17 years ago
which has brought us much grief is also solved. This is praiseworthy.
Eradicating crimes
and maintaining justice.
The original image of the police force...
