I haven't told you this mother but,
I've grown close to a certain woman.
Definitely say nothing of Takeuchi's true nature.
Are you saying we have to live next-door to a murderer forever?
The security camera might have caught something to prove his guilt.
I really wanted to kill him.
Adios.
Yukimi, you're only thinking of yourself!
Won't you become a family with me? I'm afraid that's impossible.
I already have the Kajima family.
This is my mother. I moved her here.
Pardon?
She said, it's great I have family.
He moved his family grave? Yes.
I thought it was in Yamanashi? Why did he move it to ours?
It's not particularly surprising is it.
It's quicker to get to, making visits easier.
Takeuchi-san said,
he wanted his mother to have a taste of a happy life.
I wonder, what does he mean?
We have to escape.
Let's all escape together. Otherwise...
everyone in our family will be killed?
How will you explain it to Toshiro and Hiroe?
Isn't it obvious? I will tell them everything about Takeuchi-san.
Wait. We'd better proceed with caution.
As long as we are friendly,
Takeuchi shouldn't sense any danger from us.
Any rate, when telling them, the timing is crucial.
As long as we can prepare a situation where Takeuchi won't sense danger.
This is no time to be talking about going slow.
If he catches on to us, I'm the one he'll kill first.
Ahhh. Feels good. That's great.
I'm glad you like it. But,
Is it really okay for me to accept this?
It's really expensive isn't it? Please don't worry about that.
If you'll also let me use it from time to time.
That's right.
By the way. Is there a day coming up when
the whole family is free?
I've a favour to ask of you.
A grave visit?
He'd like to formally introduce us to his mother.
Introduce us? At the grave?
No-one's working on Saturday so it should be fine.
Recently... work's been quite busy, so...
Wouldn't it be bad to keep him waiting too long?
I know. Eventually okay.
Anyway, can't we do something about that?
It's in the way, there.
It can't be helped There's no where else for it.
It's what's called a bit of a mixed blessing.
Things like that, seem great to begin with but,
in the end, never get used. It just takes up space.
Toshiro! He was kind enough to give it to us!
No matter what, you mustn't say
things like that, in front of Takeuchi-san.
Of course not. There's no way I would. Why are you shouting all of a sudden?
I am really sorry about the other day.
I was suspicious and didn't think of your feelings.
About... Takeuchi-san.
But only you, Kotone... I want to be able to talk about anything with you.
I know.
I'm sorry too.
No. I'm the one at fault.
The other day, after we fought. Takeuchi-san told me,
I couldn't be part of his family.
Because your family is his family.
I'm an idiot aren't I. From the beginning,
he never had any intention of being with me.
I got all fired up by myself.
I seems that I'm the one
that wasn't able to understand him.
That's not right. You're not at fault at all.
What? Tell me?
I too want to talk about everything with you.
Do you promise absolutely not to tell anyone?
For heaven's sake, why won't you answer me.
Yes? About Takeuchi-san's grave visit.
Ah. We've kept him waiting
for more than a week.
But Dad's busy with work isn't he.
It doesn't really look that way though.
Could you get me some tea. Okay.
Speak of the devil.
What happened to the massage chair?
Well, it was in the way,
so a little while ago. Toshiro and I moved it into the back room.
You did what?! You have to bring it back immediately.
What? Why?
Um? Well... It suits this room the best.
What are you saying? What are you on about?
Yukimi-san.
It's strange weather isn't it.
I thought it was about the time you'd be coming home.
It's been a while so I made a Baumkuchen cake.
How about we all eat some together?
Toshiro. Can you help? What? No, no, no.
I'm home! Ah, you're back!
Hey! Welcome home.
Papa. Madoka's back.
I'm home. Welcome home.
Good day. Well if it isn't Takeuchi-san.
Good day to you.
Excuse me for suddenly intruding.
No, no, you're more than welcome. Right, Madoka?!
Yes. Delicious It's delicious isn't it.
But the other day, erm. Was it berry sauce?
That was really good wasn't it...
That great. Next time I'll make 'very berry' sauce.
Whoa! What's that? Thank you.
I'm sorry. That we haven't got back to you yet
About the grave visit. That's no problem, it's not urgent.
By the way, where's the massage chair?
Ah, we moved it into the back room.
Was it in the way?
No. Not at all.
Takeuchi-san!
As you can see, this room has become our precious massage room.
I'm sorry. Good grief. What bad manners.
It wasn't to your taste? That's not it, we're using it.
Thanks to you, my shoulders aren't stiff anymore. That's right.
The powers not on. What?
It's true. How strange. Maybe someone pulled it out with their foot.
I think Takeuchi-san might be angry.
He's angry? No way.
After all, we've not appreciated his kindness.
Well, that's a bit weird.
Forcing things on us that he doesn't want is just a nuisance.
Toshiro. Cut it out. It's not a nuisance.
Well then, what should we do?
Even though it's in the way, leave it here forever?
Stop it. Takeuchi-san might hear you.
Well. He really has given us something good.
Ah, that's right.
About the grave visit. How about next weekend?
Is that okay? You said work's been piling up.
Well, it's fine by me.
Yukimi-san is off work too, right?
Yes. Is that true?
Well that's perfect.
I thought I'd be able to get back for the weekend.
What? Are you going somewhere?
Yes. I've a work related trip to Europe.
Europe, that's nice.
Ah. What would you like as a souvenir?
I don't want to get something that's going to be a nuisance.
We'd be happy to receive anything.
Understood!
Ah. Father. It's okay. He didn't notice.
This is the only chance we have. While he's away,
we'll tell Toshiro and Hiroe everything. Yes.
Sorry for calling so late at night. No worries.
I've not said anything to the family, just in case.
What is it? Why so formal?
Before I go away. I wanted to have a word with you.
The truth is...
Have a safe trip.
I'm waiting for my souvenir. Yes.
Take care. Be careful.
I'm off, bye bye. Bye bye.
Back soon.
Take care. Be careful.
Yes. I'm off!
Toshiro. Hiroe.
What is it? The thing you want to talk about?
Once everyone is here...
I'm sorry for being late.
Where's Madoka? I've left her with Kotone.
I see. Eh, why?
What I want to talk about today is Takeuchi Shingo.
Why the full name? Please listen carefully.
Before, when Ikemoto-san came to our house,
do you remember when you all talked, including Takeuchi.
How about honestly admitting it. Do you have any proof?
Of course I don't. Because I didn't do it.
Ikemoto-san was correct.
We have all of us, been taken in by Takeuchi.
Hang on. What are you trying to say all of a sudden.
I've kept quiet up until now.
But the truth is, I heard it straight from Takeuchi's mouth.
To flatly reject another's kindness. how much of a sin it is
to betray someone. Why don't you understand?
Killing the Matoba family was but a...
petty crime.
And not just that. I heard from Kotone.
He called us all, his family.
He's deluded himself into thinking we're his family.
He has the deluded belief we will make him happy.
If we reject his kindness, he'll kill us all.
Just as he did the Matoba family.
This has... Nothing to do with prejudice.
I saw it with my own eyes. Heard it with my own ears.
He killed Grandmother too.
And Toshiro's old boss. And Ikemoto-san.
The the lawyer Seki-san. And Kotone's ex-husband.
We're the next one's to be murdered!
Did you know about this?
Afterall you... You were always saying that
Takeuchi-san was innocent, weren't you.
I'm sorry. I was lying.
Before he comes back,
we need to leave this place and escape to somewhere far away.
Hold on a minute. Shouldn't we rather be
talking this through properly?
What do you think a family is?
Continually lying to us.
You've been fooling us all this time?
I'm sorry.
But this is not the time to be talking about that.
You be quiet!
Why are you telling us this, this late in the day.
This was the only time. It's the only time he's not here!
What are you!?
You admitted that you'd been tricked by Ikemoto-san didn't you.
You didn't believe that Takeuchi-san was innocent after all?!
But, I wasn't wrong after all.
He admitted himself that he was the culprit?
If it's about that. Then I heard about it from Takeuchi-san himself.
Toshiro. When was that?
Just yesterday evening.
I was going to keep it to myself but,
Takeuchi-san. He's been suffering all this time.
The truth is, about the Matoba family
Even though he was at the crime scene three years ago
he wasn't able to protect them, and deeply regreted it.
It's as if he killed them himself.
No. That's wrong. Wrong! He admitted, from the heart, doing it.
That's right. You're being fooled.
That's enough!
How many times are we going to rehash this until you're satisfied.
Darling. Do you understand what it is you've done?
To us who always believed in you and followed you?
You've betrayed us all. No. Not only that.
Even though you declared Takeuchi-san innocent
You're repudiating everything in your life.
You're an awful person.
Pot calling the kettle black!
It was you that falsely told the police
that you were his alibi.
I'll save Takeuchi-san.
Isn't it you that's betrayed our family.
That criminal!
You can't go so far as to say that can you!
The person trying to kill this family isn't Takeuchi-san.
It's you.
Make sure to chew well.
Is it yummy? Yes.
Mama's late to come get me isn't she.
Shall I take you to your house?
It's fine. Mama's coming so I'll wait.
Okay. I see. Very impressive Madoka.
Your mother's awful isn't she.
Welcome...
In the end, nothing's changed with you has it.
I just want to protect Madoka. As her mother, I...
There is it again, 'as her mother.'
I'm sorry to say this, but you saying 'as a mother,'
it doesn't quite fit.
Doubting the innocent Takeuchi and saying let's run far away.
Are you seriously thinking about Madoka-chan.
Do you think that I'll accept what you say just because it's 'as a mother?'
Please. Believe me.
I'm the one who wants to make you believe.
You don't believe me that much?
You don't know! Takeuchi's true nature.
I wonder what our lives are.
Takeuchi-san moved here, and because of him
I've finally been able to starting living my own life.
Despite that, you want to destroy it all and on top of that, you're saying he's a criminal.
What am I to you?
Hiroe. Hiroe!
Wait! Leave me alone.
I don't understand anything anymore.
You think it's for Madoka's sake. We can't continue our relationship like this.
Is this truly for Madoka's sake?
I'm going to go pick her up.
I'll go. It's fine!
I can't leave Madoka to you as you are right now.
Wait.
Where's Mum? She went out.
What? Why didn't you try and stop her?
Did you talk things through properly with her?
What's happened to this family.
The other party had to cancel at the last moment.
So I thought I'd have a meal at Kotone's restaurant.
And Madoka-chan's was there.
Has something happened? No it's just a little misunderstanding.
Please let me talk to you all individually.
That's... It's our problem.
I can't just leave it, can I.
Leaving Madoka all by herself, this late at night.
And Madam, you were crying weren't you?
Hiroe-san. Is there anything I can do to help?
I want to help you.
Please take a seat. No... I...
It's fine. Look.
Won't you tell me what happened?
Come on, release the tension from your shoulders.
Erm. Relax.
I can wait, how ever long you need, until you can talk to me.
It's really embarrassing.
Getting Takeuchi mixed up in our affairs.
It's been more than an hour. What are they talking about.
I see. That's what it's about...
Even though you been such a big help to us.
I'm sorry. But please understand.
It's because I believe in you that,
I'm telling you all this and hiding nothing.
I'm fine.
What worries me is, you and Sensei.
He continually uses me in a manner that's convenient to him.
He's made a fool of me, with his continual lies.
I understand that all too well.
Perhaps the time has come for me to quit being a wife.
Get off me.
You are seriously the worst. Stop your eavesdropping!
Why are you trying to destroy my family?
Why are you only thinking of yourself?
The only thing I'm thinking of is
I want to make the Kajima family happy.
I understand that. Hiroe-san.
Please rethink this. And realise.
It's you who's rejecting everything in your life.
Please imagine it. If you get your revenge on Sensei,
in the end what do you think you'll have left?
Just emptiness.
Hiroe-san has always done her utmost to support the family.
I know that.
But if you throw all that away,
all your effort and hard work will come to nothing.
Can't you see that?
Please.
Don't ever say that again.
I don't want to have to do to you what I did to the Matoba's.
I don't want to kill you all.
Erm. We are a happy family.
Therefore, be the wife Sensei expects you to be.
Isn't that your duty?
Please answer me.
Be the Sensei's wife!
Please answer me.
Be the Sensei's wife!
What? That just now... That was Takeuchi's voice wasn't it.
Let's call the police.
No we can't.
We don't any proof that'll get him arrested.
Proof?
Mum. What were you talking about with Takeuchi-san?
Mum?
I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
Next is Toshiro-san.
I've heard all about it from Hiroe-san.
So, relax your shoulders.
Eh? This...
What did you say to him?
I'm the one at fault. It's all me.
You were threatened by him weren't you.
Erm. I faintly heard something just now.
You were shouting at Mum about something?
Toshiro-san, what do you think?
What? About Yukimi-san?
It's not going well with her? Well. More importantly...
Please answer my question.
I think that perhaps she won't change.
She's attacking those around her and justifying herself.
If she doesn't do that, she can't go on living.
I don't know what's going to happen from here on but,
I think we might break up...
Why do you only think of yourself!
Toshiro-san, you should realise too,
You too are justifying yourself.
You're making the fact you're not getting on, Yukimi's fault.
You're pushing the blame onto her and throwing everything away.
In the end, who do you think will be hurt the most?
Madoka-chan.
Madoka just wishes for her Mama and Papa
to be happy. If the two of you break up,
she may well think it's her fault.
You're carrying the weight of that small girl, on your shoulders
and still you're just thinking of protecting yourself?
Please don't ever say such a thing again.
Only you all can...
I want you to be the parent she expects you to be.
Isn't that your duty?
Or else, I will kill you all.
Please be Madoka's wonderful Papa.
Yukimi-san?
I wasn't able to record anything we could use as proof.
Was I dreaming or something?
Takeuchi-san, showed me on his mobile.
That he'd kill the lot of us.
He must have realised, we were recording him.
Did he say the same thing to you Mum?
Don't keep quiet, say something!
Yes.
Next is Madoka-chan.
Madoka-chan!
Madoka. Madoka-chan.
Come have a chat with me. Okay.
If you've something to say to her. Say it too me.
I'm her mother.
I understand.
I heard about everything from Kotone.
That I'm a murderer.
Relax, and let's talk open and frankly.
So we won't be overheard.
Why is it, you gave Madoka-chan,
to Kotone to look after?
She was all alone. Don't you feel bad for her?
That's... I just wanted to share with everyone
a modest bit of happiness.
Even so, why,
do you do nothing but things to stir up the family.
That wasn't particularly my intention...
Even trying to get proof, so you can drive me out?
Proof? What are you talking about?
Even using something like this.
Even I have my limits.
I too have to make a decision, dependent on your answer.
I'll ask just one time. Please think carefully before answering.
Is it I, who moved next-door's, fault?
Who's at fault?
It's me.
Please don't forget those words.
But... Yes?
I think you're at fault too.
You told father that you killed the Matoba's didn't you.
It wasn't a coincidence that you moved next-door to us, was it.
Please stop deluding yourself that you're a part of our family.
Are you betraying me again?
You are not part of our family!
Why don't you understand?!
Everyone understands that I'm a murderer.
Despite everything being exposed, they've accepted me.
What's more like a family than that!
In order to make you all happy,
how far to you think I've pushed myself?!
By attacking me like this,
you're turning away from your own mistakes and weak mindedness.
You rely on the fact you're Madoka's mother,
and making me out to be the bad guy. You're consolidating
your own position in the family. It's all your fault!
In truth, I didn't want to have to say this.
You're the one at fault.
You're the one forcing me to say this.
That I forgave you and accepted you
was only because I couldn't change the fact you're Madoka's mother.
You're only a member of this family, because of my generosity.
Yukimi-san. Please write a written apology!
Please thoroughly take on-board what I've said.
Take a serious look at yourself.
Write a written apology!
Takeuchi-san. I was at fault.
No. I too am very sorry.
Because I care for you all so greatly, I said too much.
I deeply regret it.
But, I think the end result is good.
Please be relieved.
I won't do anything further to bother you Sensei.
I will educate my family.
We have to do as he says,
we can't be seen as traitors.
If even one of us betrays him, we'll all be killed.
Just like the Matoba's were.
He told us a moment ago,
He said I turn away from my own mistakes and weak mindedness.
To consolidate my own position within the family.
That wasn't aimed at Yukimi-san.
He unconsciously,
is unable to accept his own sins,
and forces them onto others in order to protect himself.
In order to consolidate his own position within the family.
Why are you calmly analysing it?
It's come to this because,
to tell the truth, it's all your fault.
If you hadn't hid the truth about him,
all these terrible things wouldn't have happened.
I told you. I was always telling you.
But, no-one would believe me.
There's no use in pointing the finger at this late stage.
We wouldn't be having this conversation if you'd found him guilty in the first place.
Stop it!
Right. Let's call the police. We can't.
Why not? We're being terrorised by him.
We have no proof of that.
Everyone, I ask you. Please listen to me.
I will listen to all of your grumblings and complaints.
I just don't want you to express any opinions about Takeuchi-san.
His aim isn't to hurt us.
So no matter how unpleasant it is,
I want you to show total gratitude to his generosity.
We have to be a happy family.
I can't be a family with you Kotone-san.
I already have the Kajima family.
Good morning, everyone.
The plates have got old so,
I've exchanged them for new ones.
Erm. Why are you inside the house?
Ah. A spare key was made for me.
A spare key.
As for todays plans. Breakfast is from 8.00 a.m
Dinner is at 7:00pm. Don't be late everyone.
'Until now, I've not thought of anyone but myself.
In the Kajima family, as Madoka's mother,
I was only thinking of consolidating my position in the family.
I was preoccupied, and inconsiderate
of those around me.'
'From now on I will turn over a new leaf and support Madoka and Toshiro
and work hard to become a person mother and father can rely on.'
'As a member of the family, I will reflect on happiness
and from my heart be grateful for people's generosity.'
I swear from my heart to work to this end.'
You've done a good job.
Is what I want to say but, you get 4 out of 100 points.
Didn't you forget one of the family members?
Mother As I promised, I've brought them to you.
This is the Kajima family that I've been telling you about for a while now.
The person who understood my innocence, my saviour.
This is Sensei's wife Hiroe-san. Without a word of complaint,
she's a wonderful woman who supports the Kajima family.
This is Sensei's son, Toshiro-san.
He's always thinking of his family, and is aiming to become a lawyer.
This is the angel in the family, Madoka-chan. Good day.
This is Madoka's mother.
Come on, say something to my mother.
Don't be humble. It's not like she's a stranger.
Everyday we live together happily.
Mother.
Takeuchi-san is a part of our family.
Mother. I'm Yukimi.
Thank you for the spare key.
From here-on as the head of the family,
will you please watch over us all?
Yes. With pleasure.
