Stop!
"It's alright! I'm the Blue Shadow!" (Note: They're playing characters from the TV show, "Masked Ninja: Red Shadow")
You guys are sly!
"I, Koga Genyosai, will unite the heavens. My wish will be done!"
Curses!
Stop! You will not get away~!
(23 June 1970)
- Capture him! - Wait~!
Hey, cut it out, you guys!
Come at me! You rogues!
And who are you!
I am the Masked Ninja... Red Shadow is my name!
Sister, Akira is back!
Shadow Ninja Hurricane Sword, here it comes!
(Abandoned corpse of unknown boy incident at Taya Hills; Date: 5 July 1970)
(Series of Boxed Children's Corpse Abandonment Cases Joint Investigation Headquarters)
Uh, in Mt. Takatori, Hadano city...
...a girl's body was found, packed along with 50 Mitsuwa detergent packs inside a cardboard box...
As of now, we're looking into possible sources, like convenience stores, supermarkets and mass retailers.
- That is all. - Next please.
Yes.
Regarding the corpse of the young boy found at the burial mounds area of Akibayama...
...he was positively identified by his parents to be their son, Kojima Shunta, 6 years old...
...who they've reported missing to Kokubu North Police Station.
We are also investigating whether there were any suspicious person in the area.
These three victims whose bodies stuffed in boxes...
...are all children.
We can't imagine the suffering that their families are going through.
Focus all your energies into these investigations!
Rise!
Bow!
- Ishikawa. Neko-san. - Yes.
I want you guys to work on another case with the main team.
An unresolved case from 1970...
...that of a dead boy found in a box whose remains are unidentified up to now.
Could it be the current incidents are copycats of this?
Or maybe the same perp?
Is there anyone who starts killing again after 46 years?
At any rate, our team's gonna work on this 46 year old case.
Wabi-Sabi Subs Presents: COLD CASE "Door of Truth"
Here. This was sent to Kawasaki East Police Station.
(Case 9: "The Promise")
No sender's name. (Case 9: "The Promise")
Oh, now this is what I call "good timing".
Could the sender thought it's about time to tip us off?
Wonder if this was the unknown boy...
He's wearing the same as this tank top and school cap.
There's something written on the back.
"This child's name is Akira."
Did the sender suddenly remember, now that similar cases are in the news?
He has wounds on his temple. (Who is this victim!? Body of an unidentified boy found at Taya Hills)
Don't they look like burn marks?
"A student from Yokohama City University, Muraoka Teruo found the body first.
He was part of an extremist new left wing sect...
While escaping from their mountain training, he found a box along the way...
Two years later, the sect that he belonged to, were involved in lynching incidents."
Huh?
Something's on the van.
"Our Lady's Home for Children"...
(The Virgin Mary Association, Kawasaki Convent)
So you're Tachibana Kazue-san, the head of the orphanage at that time.
Along with another nun named Yuuki Fusako-san.
Sister Yuuki...
...passed away last week.
Our condolences.
She devoted her life to God for 50 years.
It was a life well-lived.
Both of you ran the orphanage in 1970?
Yes.
We managed the Home until 1972.
Do you know these children? I think these were your boys.
This is our bus, isn't it?
How nostalgic. The children too.
How about a boy named Akira?
We think that he's the one wearing that school cap.
I guess, it's possible.
But we had lots of children under our wing...
...I cannot possibly remember them all.
So what about this?
Do you recall this case of an abandoned body from that year?
I'm afraid not.
It was a major incident about a dead boy placed inside a box and discarded in the woods.
Is that so?
We lead private lives here...
We read the Bible in the morning, not newspapers.
Do you still have records at that time?
Yes, in the underground warehouse.
But with such a place, I'm sure you don't want to sift through all that.
Actually, we love that kind of place.
There was one kid here named Akira in 1970...
...Yaoi Akira, 8 years old.
Seems like he's trying to say "I had a proper name".
There's a record of his adoption too...
- Who adopted him? - A couple named Shibata Tsutomo and Miho.
Says here, they "run a ryokan in Odawara". The date was July 4...
The day before the body was discovered.
He could have been better off not adopted.
That couple should know something.
Akira was deposited at the orphanage when he was a baby along with his sister Masumi.
Kojima Masumi, 57 years old, works in a library in Chigasaki.
Me and Neko-san are gonna look for these other boys.
Then, Takagi, you and I will go see Kojima Masumi.
Sure.
Yaoi Akira is indeed my little brother...
But this isn't him.
I know it must be hard to look at...
My brother had naturally curly hair.
Besides... I'm sure he's happy somewhere.
Then, what about this picture?
It's the Science Club.
Where did you get this?
It was found along with this leaflet.
But it can't be my brother. He had been adopted.
(Note: He's looking at a picture of Tower of the Sun, part of Expo 1970 held in Osaka)
The sisters told me there's a family who wants a little boy.
I'm not going.
I heard they live near the ocean.
I said, I'm not going.
You have to.
Besides, we can meet again.
You remember our promise?
Tower of the Sun.
Right. When?
On my 18th birthday... we will meet at the Tower of the Sun.
Right, don't forget, okay?
I'm not leaving you, Sis.
But he was gone one morning.
I was told he was suddenly adopted.
I never got to say goodbye.
Did you go to the Tower of the Sun as you promised?
Yes.
When I was 22...
It had already become a park.
But he didn't show up.
I thought maybe he was living a healthy and happy life (so much that he forgot about me).
He had acted up a lot...
So I was glad he was able to find a family.
Even so, there were two families before that who had taken him but brought him back.
Because of his behavior?
Also, the more he gets older, the lesser his chances are of getting adopted.
Like what happened to you?
I told myself for sure he's living somewhere happily.
Would you be willing to give us a DNA sample to verify whether he's your kid brother?
I don't mind...
But I know this isn't my brother.
So then... how can I help you?
We heard you came from the orphanage called "Our Lady".
Been so long since I heard that name...
Feels nostalgic...
Do you remember Yaoi Akira? He was the same age as you.
This was us in the Science Club. Such fun times...
This Akira sure was an interesting fella.
Is that so.
He was quite a riot...
Always drove the Sisters nuts...
- Don't do that! - Be quiet!
What do you think you're doing at this late hour?
We're gonna pick up the moon rock!
Moon rock!?
There is one. A fiery red meteorite that fell in the Tama River.
- Yeah! Akira saw it. - He's lying!
It was a meteorite that fell from the moon.
A moon rock. And I'm gonna display it at the Expo!
There is no such thing!
Come with me!
Akira was like a naughty angel...
Even if he was full of mischief, we all liked him.
But why are you asking about him?
We're investigating the case of an abandoned body from 1970.
The victim might have been Yaoi Akira.
Could you please take a look at this?
Do you think that's Yaoi Akira?
Well no... Akira had curly hair.
- What if his hair was cut off? - Well...
I still don't think so...
But then it was so long ago, I can't be sure...
Kadowaki-san, are you still farming?
Well, since I have a chronic heart condition, I can only do farming.
Here's our findings on the boys' follow-up survey.
Aside from Yaoi Akira, two of the other boys died when they were kids.
Two?
Death due to illness.
Could it be asthma? The sister mentioned about it.
Kadowaki Yutaka also had asthma as a child.
Could it be caused by photochemical smog?
The air at the Keihin Industrial Area was pretty terrible.
But the two kids died of heart disease.
Yaoi Akari was a problem child, right? Then what if...
...the adoptive couple gave him back, Sister got mad and beat him up hard, and killed him?
Hello?
But how come we can't find them?
The adoptive couple, Shibata-sans?
There's no record of them at Odawara's Ryokan Association either.
That was from Investigation HQ. The guy who first discovered our Boy in the Box 46 years ago...
...Muraoka Teruo, has volunteered himself for questioning.
It seems he's a witness for the current series of abandoned children's bodies.
Muraoka-san. We'd like to ask you about the case from 46 years ago.
Even then, you've been gone to that site several times, right?
Aren't we supposed to talk about the current incidents?
We're just looking for any angle of relevance.
Every July 5...
I've always been going there on his death anniversary.
To mourn for the dead child?
Yes...
But it wasn't just me.
There's a woman who'd also show up there every year.
I seen her there for years...
It was written here as well.
She comes with white lily flowers...
...wearing a green plaid dress.
Have you talked with the woman?
I did try a few times...
But she didn't want to engage.
These current incidents...
...series of dead kids found in boxes.
You know something about them, right? You're going to those sites as well.
Hold on a minute here! You're treating me like a criminal!
I'm sure you guys have seen a lot of dead bodies, and aren't fazed by it.
But I am not that strong.
In that incident, my life changed.
What do you mean?
At that time, I was trying to escape...
From the extremist group?
I could not follow them...
But all of us were trying hard...
...to make the world a good and peaceful place.
That's why, I was at a loss...
And so...
...what's that got to do with the Boy in the Box?
I felt like God was punishing me.
I really don't get what you're saying.
I ran away...
...and didn't have to go through those terrible lynchings. (Note: Extreme leftist group in the 70s killed their own members if they are deemed suspicious or disloyal)
So in exchange for my easy way out, I was made to see that horrible sight of the corpse as my punishment.
Then, many years later...
...similar incidents are happening now.
Somehow, it feels like God is telling me something...
Even though I couldn't stand it...
...You went to see the sites as well?
What do you think about the woman wearing a plaid dress?
Even if it's real, what does it mean?
Nice to see everyone being so busy.
You ought to show up here once in a while.
We finally found a record on the Shibata couple.
You won't find them no matter how you look 'cause both of em died in 1945.
1945?
They did run an inn in Odawara but they were killed during an incendiary bombing raid.
It's impossible for them to adopt a dead child.
So the adoption papers were phony?
Then, where did Yaoi Akira go?
Someone made up the adoption papers in order to hide the fact that he's dead?
- We got an issue. - What is it?
Autopsy of the body positively I.D.'d him as Yaoi Akira from his dental mold...
But his DNA didn't match his sister.
So they're not brother and sister?
Then his document papers at the orphanage were doctored, too?
His birth and death are all a mystery.
I feel sorry for the sister.
Her brother died 46 years ago...
And on top of that, he wasn't actually her brother.
This must be a mistake.
Sorry to say that it isn't.
Our parents died in a car accident...
He and I came to the orphanage together...
That was how I remembered it all this time.
But the facts tell a different story.
Did the Sisters know about this?
- Probably... - They kept it a secret from me all this time?
Yes.
They didn't want to hurt you.
Still...
No matter what happens...
Akira will always be my brother.
Um... where is his grave?
At a free cemetery.
Along with prisoners who died in prison and had no relatives.
My poor brother...
We now know that there was no family that came and took him away.
There's a possibility that the person involved at that time have reemerged...
...with the current series of child homicide and abandonment cases.
Do you have any idea who the culprit might be?
No.
Was there anyone ever violent with Akira?
Kamada Tatsuji...
They were in the Science Club together.
That boy fought with Akira once, and beat him up real bad...
Who else?
He got disciplined a lot...
Why did you come back?
I didn't like them, and they didn't like me back.
- Did they kick you out? - I ran away.
There was no one to play with either.
Akira, what do you have to say for yourself?
Good to be back, Sister.
That's what you get for being a bad child.
Didn't hurt.
- Come to my office! - Oww...
Please don't!
Sister, please!
I never knew what she did to him...
...but he came out with a lot of bruises.
Did the other Sister, Yuuki Fusako-san punish him too?
Only Sister Tachibana.
What about Kamada Tatsuji?
He was often beaten up too.
"Our Lady's Home for Children", huh.
Can't remember much.
Were they bad memories?
Yeah. Don't wanna go back there, that's for sure. Not that I have a reason to.
Sorry to bring it up but it has something to do with a homicide investigation.
Eh? Who died?
Kid named Yaoi Akira. Happened 46 years ago.
Akira...
That Akira?
I heard you bullied him.
Not really. It was just kids' fight.
Besides, he had spunk.
Often gave the Sisters hell.
He was popular, right?
I guess.
Funny thing was he loved the orphanage.
Everyone else wanted to get out, and yet he kept coming back.
What about Sister Tachibana... Do you remember Tachibana Kazue?
Yeah. That damn witch was a mean ole harpy.
Did she beat you up?
Yeah. Many times.
She often hit my back with a belt.
Damn ol' hag.
Do you think she could have killed Akira?
I doubt it... No matter how cruel that hag is.
But I feel really sorry to hear that Akira's dead...
I see...
Sister Tachibana.
So you're at a place like this, huh.
I don't appreciate being disturbed.
You know, I'm disturbed with a few things myself.
Like finding out the documents regarding Yaoi Akira were all phony.
I don't know anything about that.
Yaoi Akira's adoptive parents died during the war.
We also visited your former boys and asked them about the corporal punishment that went on.
Children sometimes need to be raised strictly.
It seems you were extra strict with Yaoi Akira.
He had a serious behavior problem.
That's strange...
You said the other day, you didn't remember him.
Yes.
I remember Yaoi Akira.
Why did you not tell us?
I didn't want to talk.
Because if you do, we'll find out what you did?
I did what I thought was right to those children.
Maybe it seems scandalous by today's standards...
But it was routine back in the day.
Corporal punishment?
If done with love, yes.
So maybe during your routine pummeling of Akira one night...
...you beat him up so bad that he ended up dead.
You wanted to be discreet about that event...
...so you cut off his curls so no one recognized him...
And then secretly put him in a box, took him to a hill and dumped him.
Am I right?
No.
Then why... did you fake the documents concerning Yaoi Akira?
I do not know about that.
The one who did the paperwork...
...was Sister Yuuki.
Was Yuuki Fusako as fond of corporal punishment as you are?
Why did she fake the records!?
Sister Fusako was...
...a screw-up.
She was weak-willed, and unreliable.
She couldn't even discipline the children.
And that is why...
...I had to.
What's your name?
Akira.
Akira-kun, are you okay?
The air around here is bad because of the factory, right?
You know, our home is near the ocean.
Do you like the ocean?
I want to go to the Expo, the Osaka World Expo.
Sounds fun. Shall we go together?
I'm going with my sister.
Your sister?
You seem quite older than your brother.
How old are you, dear?
I'm 12 years old.
I see...
Shadow Ninja! Super Strength Sword!
Are you alright?
Are you hurt? I'm so sorry.
He's a very energetic boy.
It's not a time to be socializing.
I'm sorry.
Akira has been wild again.
I did tell him to put on his best behavior.
"Come on, Genyosai! Come and fight me!"
What is he doing?
We have to control him. Or else he'll never get a home.
- Come on! - What's with you...
Then, could Sister Yuuki Fusako have hurt him?
Fusako...
Sister Yuuki...
...never laid a finger on him.
Sister Tachibana Kazue claimed that Yuuki Fusako was the one who doctored the papers.
Just a convenient excuse?
What about Kamada Tatsuji?
Seems not the type to kill someone.
Nor be our serial killer.
Found the last kid in the photo, it's Hiyoshi Nobuyuki.
Same as the others, he liked Akira and terrified of Sister Tachibana Kazue.
One thing struck us though, Hiyoshi's heart is a ticking timebomb.
The guy I talked with, Kamada Tatsuji has a heart condition too.
So does Kadowaki Yutaka.
Except Yaoi Akira, three out of the five boys have heart disease.
The cause of the death of the other two boys is heart disease...
Takagi...
Oh Hosaka! What? You here from MPD to help with the ongoing child homicide cases?
Uh, no. Actually, I'm here to talk to you.
Can I have a minute?
We were classmates at our Regional Police School. Hosaka of the Metropolitan Police.
Well, we'll be going ahead now.
Um... Det. Ishikawa...
Can I also have a minute with you?
Okay.
I know that I'm violating the rule but I thought you needed to know.
No...
But she couldn't have committed card fraud...
We already arrested the guy who's the main culprit.
With regards to her...
Whether she's an accomplice or not...
...we plan to take her in for questioning in a day or two.
If she's guilty...
The outcome may affect you too.
It's possible...
...if it's Saya.
Thanks, Hosaka. I owe you one.
- Let's go and see Saya. - What for?
To clear this matter up.
I don't care... what that girl does anymore.
Why!
- You're her sister, related by blood. - And what does blood have to do with it?
Think about the Yaoi siblings.
Even if they're not blood related, their bond was much stronger than ours.
Just because she's like your mother...
That Saya reminds you of your mom, is that why you don't like her?
That's not it.
My boss was the one who used those numbers.
I only looked at them.
Please believe me.
They got phone calls with your voice on them.
I just said I called in the numbers.
I didn't know it was other people's card numbers.
Of course, you did know that it was wrong?
No I didn't.
I just thought, I didn't want to lose my job.
Okay...
When they call you in for questioning, just straighten the facts out.
Hey...
I'm gonna be fine, right?
Yeah.
Don't worry.
I'm sorry. I do believe you.
Science Club was just a weekly field trip. Like an outdoor learning or something.
It was just us boys on the bus.
Sister Yuuki went with us.
To where?
To that hospital-type of building you see in there.
- So what did you do there? - It was different every time.
We'd be feeding animals like monkeys and rabbits.
Anything else?
They also took our blood.
When we're done, they let us drink "Yakult". It was delicious.
(Our Lady's Home For Children)
Thank you for coming, Sister.
Hello.
Welcome, boys. You're looking lively today.
Yes!
What are we gonna do today, Dr. Ohoura?
Today, you're going to smell various odors...
...and breathe it in with all you got!
What kind of smells?
What kind? You'll just have to see and find out.
- Okay~! - Good.
It was fun.
Nothing scary about it.
Do you remember Dr. Ohoura's first name or the name of the place?
Nah, sorry.
When did you start having a heart problem?
Well, I think around middle school.
Something about the atrium not working properly...
Could not do any sports either.
I got part of the building's name where the Science Club went to.
"Toko"-something... "Sagamihara Laboratory"... something like that.
One entry came out in Google search.
"Toko Pharmaceutical Company, Sagamihara Institute".
They also have an animal experiment building.
I asked Saya yesterday...
...as I thought, she didn't do it.
Really.
If so, then that's good, right?
I didn't want to talk much to these children.
Did you use them as guinea pigs for your new drug experiments?
I'm right, aren't I?
We sprayed chemicals into their throats and noses using an inhaler...
It was a simple procedure, nothing dangerous.
I was told the children were suffering from asthma.
Who told you that?
- The head of the orphanage? - No.
The younger sister who always arranged the visits here.
It seemed she heard about this laboratory from someone.
And due to the side effects of that medicine, the boys acquired heart disease.
- Is that what happened? - Yes. That is why, I canceled the tests immediately.
And did you know some of the boys died because of your tests?
We didn't intend for that to happen.
You say that quite lightly.
The country was finally unshackling itself from the war, and starting to stand on its feet.
All of the people believed it.
That Japan was getting better and better.
Unlike now.
So you're saying what you did is okay because that was the atmosphere during that era?
That it's fine to sacrifice young lives for the sake of human progress?
Sagamihara Institute's pretty much controversial.
Says here they recently built a P3* facility for new drug experiments for infectious diseases... (*Private-Public Partnership)
If there's an earthquake, a virus can get out...
...and cause a biohazard.
Residents near it are protesting against it.
In 1970, they also did research on diseases of the central nervous system.
They experimented on patients with psychosis via insulin shock therapy, isolation tank, electric shock...
Oh god...
Could this explain Yaoi Akira's head wounds?
I found one nurse from that time.
Did they use children as test subjects for their new medicine experiments?
I knew about it.
It was a time when people think doctors could do no wrong.
Besides, we thought those children were ill.
I'd talk to the nun who brought them sometimes.
- Yuuki Fusako-san? - Yes.
She came to our department once in a while.
Why would she do that?
Well...
Fusako-san has passed away sometime ago.
Everyone's dead now, I suppose.
Well, since she's gone...
I guess it's okay to talk.
Please.
She was seeing our laboratory assistant.
A researcher named Shimizu.
It seemed their relationship had been going on for a long time...
Isn't that forbidden for her...?
A nun who serves God...
...cannot date nor marry a man...
...right?
I told you before. I need your help.
I'm worried he won't get adopted if he doesn't change.
He needs a proper family.
He'll outgrow it. Let's just wait and see.
No, his wild behavior is getting worse and worse. I'm feeling anxious.
Then what do you want me to do?
You give treatments for the patients here, right?
- They're not meant for children. - They do work, right?
Yes but still...
- It will calm him down, right? - Yeah...
Let's try it on him.
- Fusako... - Tomorrow...
...there'll be an adoption party. Please.
That same night, as I was leaving I saw Fusako again with that little boy in tow.
Where did they go?
I assumed to see Shimizu-kun, to get that treatment she asked for.
Treatment?
ECT.
Shock therapy?
I remember that night...
...because that's the only time I ever saw her without her nun's habit.
What was she wearing?
A plaid dress, a green one.
It was a fashionable design a few years before that.
She was very particular about Yaoi Akira despite having other kids around.
Fusako and Shimizu were lovers...
We still don't know who were Yaoi Akira's parents.
- And why she forged the documents. - Isn't that sacrilegious?
She may be a nun...
...but she was also human.
What is it now?
We think we know who Yaoi Akira's mother was.
I didn't want to tell the story of Sister Yuuki.
We understand how you feel.
But a little boy died.
He was her son, wasn't he?
She was...
...not a good nun.
She was a nice person...
...but her will was weak.
Did you know the resident doctor, Shimizu Tetsuzo-san?
He was the cause of her ruin.
She loved him till the day she died.
Not God... but him.
He was the father?
When she started seeing him, she told me...
...she was pregnant.
Did you let it be?
I probably should have just told Mother Superior...
...but instead, I secretly helped her.
You and her were close?
Closer than my own blood sister.
She promised to leave the baby at an orphanage in Atsugi.
But she brought him to the Home For Children.
You decided to slip him in as Yaoi Masumi's younger brother?
Akira truly became our cross to bear.
Such a restless child, misbehaving all the time.
Even when he was taken by a family, he couldn't hold on, and he'd be back soon after.
Did he know who his mother was?
We didn't tell him.
But I think somewhere in his heart, he wanted Fusako as his mother.
What happened to Yaoi Akira on that day?
Fusako was desperate in finding him a home.
She was getting impatient.
Everything she did...
...was done out of love...
...and only love.
Sister!
I need your help. Sister.
- Fusako, what are you wearing? - Akira is sick.
- Help me please.
What in the world happened!?
Shimizu treated him... to help him behave.
Why!?
We had to cut his hair.
- His beautiful hair... - Did Shimizu say he'd be sick like this?
He said he might feel tired but he's become feverish.
- We'll call Shimizu. - I can't contact him!
He's neither at the boarding house nor in the institute.
Dear lord...
I did it for his own good.
If he behaves, some couple would want him, and keep him.
We have to pray.
Say a prayer, Fusako.
- Hail Mary, full of grace... - Oh, Lord...
...Please forgive me...
Please save him.
It was supposed to calm him.
She never dreamt it could harm him.
Sister, where's Akira? Did you see him?
He'll be here soon. Come, go talk to our guests.
It's no good...
I'm losing him...
I'll be... waiting...
Akira... I'm sorry...
...I couldn't be a mother to you until now.
Akira...
...I love you.
I'll be waiting... okay?
At the Tower of the Sun.
No...
No! Don't die!
Akira!
Akira?
- What are you doing? - Clean the room up.
- I'm coming too! - Fusako!
This is not one of your little screw-ups.
This is very serious.
