-Are you okay? -Yeah...
Huh?
Crap... Oh, crap!
The old lady is late.
It's customary for newcomers to come early.
She probably stayed over at a guy's place and overslept. Geez.
No, she probably was making miso soup for her husband.
No way, no way.
It's not strange if she's married. She is a beauty if you look at her.
How about we start profiling Makabe Yukiko?
Yes! I vote that she's single.
We old men are made fools of and she's attracted to young guys.
If we pick and pull from 10 to 20 youngins and use them as bait,
we'd clear away the gloominess of our work.
My vote is that she's married.
If you look at her, she's not really conscious of men,
she was probably school classmates with her husband, and he's probably a private company employee.
They're like friends and they split up the house chores,
and on their days off, they head to the gym like buddies.
-Ah, definitely. -My vote is she's divorced.
Her husband is a government worker or has some sort of uptight job.
Her husband was probably sick of doing all the chores because of her grueling SIT work
and she's pressured between her family and work.
She was at odds, didn't quit her work, and in the end they divorced.
That's deep.
Commissioner, who is right?
Right? I don't know either.
-You don't know? -What the...
-What the heck is that... -Good morning!
What is it?
I still have a minute before I'm scheduled.
We were profiling you just now.
Me? You must be bored.
-Hey, old lady. You married or you keeping quiet? -My lips are sealed!
I don't feel like talking about my private life.
Why? You don't normally tell co-workers?
Because I don't want to join old men chit-chatting over drinks and snacks.
Yes, Interrogation group.
Yes. Yes.
Roger that.
A fashion model from Koto was murdered,
and the man arrested in the case hasn't said one word in 17 hours.
-SAY SOMETHING BASTARD! -Nabe, stop!
Interrogations has a request to see him at 9:05AM.
There's 31 hours left till deadline.
Our target is the man with tight lips. It's show time.
-OK. -OK.
Alright...
The victim is a fashion magazine model for a number of years, Kasumi Tomoko, 31.
Estimated time of death is January 18th from 9PM to 11PM.
Cause of death is a cerebral contusion from being hit by a blunt object.
The suspect is Sugita Eiji, 48. He manages an electronics store in the Arakawa shopping district.
He definitely lives in a different world than hers. Where's the connection?
There's currently no connection at all.
What's the chronology of the arrest? What's the state of investigations?
The state?
You summoned us here and asking that?
It should be, "What's the state of investigations, please!"
Please, I beg you. We've always respected your investigative skills Chief Kenmotsu!
-Hmph! -Alright.
The body was discovered near a convenience store,
and the Fukakawakita office did the legwork.
I think it was past 11. There was a person who used the restroom though.
He confined himself in there and wouldn't come out,
and I thought he was probably doing something bad, so I went in to take a look.
What are you doing?
This is the weapon?
There's footage from the shop's security camera
showing the owner of Sugita Electronics, Sugita Eiji.
AHHH!!!
He was arrested on January 20th at 4:08PM for interfering with an officer's public duties.
We discovered the wrench in his toolbox at the shop.
The DNA matched the victim's based on the results from the blood sample left on the wrench.
That means we've wrapped this up for you neatly and arrested him.
We can't indict him based on the discovery of the weapon.
-Do you know the motive? -Well...
The probability of a grudge is small.
Her hands were placed like a Buddhist pose.
-What about rape? -No traces of a violation.
Was his motive to rob her then?
-And the suspect's family? -He has a wife and a middle school daughter.
-Financial condition? -Hey.
Don't be so blunt, you need to say please!
-We have no time, hurry! -What!?
How can an electronics store make a profit these days, anyway?
Anyway!?
I want a foundation based on evidence not conjecture.
-We need information about the shop's financial state and if there's debt. -Are you giving us an order?
At least give us this one detail since you didn't get him to divulge anything.
Is your only talent to rough a suspect up?
-WHAT!? -Shush! He's entering.
Is there anything out of the ordinary here?
-I'm Hishimoto, in charge of the interrogation. -I'm Koishikawa.
This is different from the interrogation room at Fukakawakita, huh?
This is a special interrogation room inside the MPD.
See, there's a camera here and there,
and it records everything. It's to prevent false accusations.
Please talk to us without worry.
Mr. Sugita.
I heard you've kept quiet since being arrested.
Of course, you have the right to keep quiet.
But you can't escape the crime by keeping quiet.
You know that, right?
We'll now ask you about the case.
Do you know this person?
This picture was taken a month ago.
And now she looks like this less than a month later.
The police think you're the criminal.
Can you tell us if they're wrong?
He's extremely relaxed.
You can tell by his face that he achieved his goal.
If that's the case, the victim and suspect are definitely connected then.
It looks like there's gossip of the arrest.
And on top of that, the victim was a model too.
I don't care.
Why are we lackeys for Interrogation?
Motsu!
-Don't be immature. -I'm mature!
I know nothing about how she was murdered.
Can you tell us how the shop has been managed?
-You do know, right? -Is there debt?
What? We've paid part of the remodeling expenses.
How much? Bring the accounting and bank books.
Can you please hurry?
A customer?
Are you the daughter?
I haven't told my daughter about her father yet.
Please don't say anything.
Please take these and leave for today.
Haruka, it's cold here. You'll get another fever.
It's OK. It's not a big deal...
Yes, it is. I don't want you catching another cold.
-Alright? C'mon. -Fine!
This is an important time for you.
-Excuse me... Are you the police? -Yes.
If you may, we'd like to talk to you.
It looks like the victim had some flashy male relations.
-It was limited to socialites, too. -Socialites?
Look. A company president, a doctor, a lawyer, and a pro-golfer.
The possibility of her dating an old man from an electronics store is almost zero.
Plus we do not know what kind of attraction was between them.
Don't say that they're incompatible.
But don't you think so? When people are at their weakest,
they can accidentally end up with an unexpected partner.
-Yes, like joining someone at a bar or something. -Right.
-Like picking up her handkerchief? -Yes.
No, no, no... From a female's perspective,
there's no merit to having an affair with an electronics store old man in a family district.
Does that mean you're guilty because you're not talking!?
If you're not connected to this case say, "I didn't do it," then!
Are we wrong!?
The court will have a bad impression of you if you take this silent treatment for granted!
This won't be seen as contemplation.
Excuse me. How do you feel about that?
-You'll be forced to confess. -That's the reality!
It's better if you told us! I'm almost retiring, you know.
Write us a written apology at least!
That bastard is as stubborn as a yakuza.
He hasn't said a word for 8 hours in Interrogations.
Don't state it so matter of fact. What's the purpose of Interrogations then?
It's your job to break in any kind of suspect.
We'll definitely get him to talk within the time limit.
Oh, such self-confidence.
I have the best investigators with me.
Hm... Don't forget what you just said.
Next, the suspect's status.
Yes, sir!
We investigated the status of the electronics store that Sugita managed.
The shop wasn't run well since it's customers are limited to local residents.
And the assets and debts?
And?
Sugita has a working capital of 1 million in the bank under his name.
His wife has an account with 3.5 million.
In terms of debts, they've paid only 20,000 for the shop's renovation.
This isn't an official loan,
and he didn't know the victim personally.
He robbed and murdered her for money, don't you think?
Excuse me... did he have someone threatening him or
were there any bad rumors about him?
Nothing in particular stood out in the report from the jurisdiction.
But the neighbors were saying...
Since it was in the lower part of town...
we can't really say anything bad about the neighborhood.
And what about the family? How was his wife and daughter?
It seems the wife didn't tell the daughter about Sugita being arrested.
The daughter came in the store while we were gathering information,
but she was quickly brought back into the house.
There's 20 hours left till he's prosecuted.
Collect every piece of information.
Interrogations will need to bring Sugita down.
The prosecutor will laugh if the suspect is sent to him without saying a word!
Yes, sir!
Wait!
-What is it? -You're hiding something, right?
-Stop falsely accusing us. -Be quiet guy in blue.
-What!? -Don't make Nabe out as a fool!
Don't make him out as a fool. He's MY partner.
Motsu.
-Pathetic. -What?
You don't want to see Interrogations succeed, so you're withholding information.
-Don't call me pathetic! -I hit the bull's eye, right?!
Let's stop playing. Tell me or I'll rat you out to the higher-ups.
I have no other choice.
I know it was unexpected.
It's not that Sugita Electronics was managed poorly.
Profits haven't gone up.
A battery, a light bulb, it's nothing but small transactions.
But they're not in the red. Know why?
It's neither a profit or loss. It was solidly managed.
These days if an electronics store goes in the red
the neighbors would miss the store.
It seems Motsu and Nabe were informed by the neighborhood folks.
It's impossible that Mr. Sugita killed someone!
He did his work with enthusiasm,
was honest, and thought about his family.
I think the police have made a mistake.
He had a good rep for being diligent and polite at the job.
And it seems the neighbors didn't have a bad thing to say about him.
Then Sugita's middle school aged daughter fell extremely ill.
He took his daughter who couldn't exercise on a drive for vacation
and it seems she saw herself as trouble.
Haruka.
Ah, thank you.
-This is 180 degrees different from the earlier info. -Sounds different from the Sugita in the room too.
He's a fiend for killing a woman and keeping quiet.
He's a kind father who is worried about his sick daughter.
Which one is the real Sugita?
Makabe, go with Nakata tomorrow to visit Sugita's wife.
This case needs the probing of a female.
This is getting interesting.
-Hello? -Mom, when are you coming home?
I'm sorry, I'm not coming home tonight.
Did you guys make peace?
Hello?
C'mon and give me a break.
I was almost late this morning, you know.
You should've went and left it alone.
I can't do that.
You can't resort to a fist fight.
Dad would've been mad if there were a serious injury.
You're one to talk. You're always in the line of danger.
You know, I've been meaning to tell you this,
I'm not living for Dad's sake, but I'm not living of your sake either.
Damn, she's giving me nothing but lip.
Makabe.
Chief!
-I heard Sugita hasn't talked yet. -Yes...
We'll get him to talk no matter what.
-Are you staying here tonight? -Yes.
Have things at home been okay after?
-Kids get over it quickly. -That's right.
-Ah, is that it? -Yes.
Mrs. Sugita.
Is she out?
Mrs. Sugita, are you there?
Mrs. Sugita!
Excuse me, Mrs. Sugita is at the hospital.
-Hospital? -Yes.
Did you sleep well?
We'd like to talk to you about the Sugita Eiji that we've investigated up until now.
You live with your wife and daughter.
You've lived calmly and quietly in the house in the electronics store you inherited from your father.
But you have one big worry.
Your middle school aged daughter has a serious heart condition.
You took a break to take your daughter
on a drive in the shop's car.
Haruka enjoyed it very much.
Can we get you to talk for your daughter's sake?
What happened between you and Kasumi Tomoko?
Sugita Haruka... she's here.
She was admitted to room 3516 in Surgical Ward #1.
-The attending doctor? -It's Dr. Michinaga.
Michinaga, you mean Dr. Michinaga of the cardiovascular surgical department?
Yes.
He's a famous doctor of the Batista heart surgical procedure.
It's been said that he has god's hands, right?
Go to sleep, okay?
I'm going to go greet the doctor.
Okay. What about Dad? Did he call?
Yes, he said he just arrived in China.
He's stocking up on things and he told me to tell you, "Good luck on the surgery."
Thanks.
Are you Sugita Eiji's wife?
-I'm Nakata from the MPD. -I'm Makabe.
Please, not at the hospital. Have some common respect.
We're worried about your daughter as well.
We heard she's undergoing a complicated surgery.
Is this wrong?
I know my husband was arrested, but it's unrelated to my daughter.
She has the right to undergo surgery.
Mom?
Ah, Haruka. It's nothing. Go inside...
Hello. Are you Haruka?
I've become friends with your Mom.
Hey, can I be friends with you too?
Pardon me.
What a nice room!
We saved up money to get a room like this.
I see. Oh! Cool shoes!
My Dad bought them for me.
Oh, when?
The day before yesterday. It's to finally celebrate the surgery.
-Finally? -Yes.
-Show me. -No!
Stingy!
Pardon me. Dr. Michinaga is here.
Ah, thank you Doctor.
I was about to come and greet you.
It's okay. How is she feeling?
I appreciate your efforts.
Can you leave? I'm performing an exam.
-Please get them to leave. -Excuse me.
I just had a very unpleasant thought...
You too?
Was Sugita Haruka's surgery scheduled before?
Oh I mean... his heart is bad,
and I'm wondering when he can undergo surgery by Dr. Michinaga.
I'm sorry.
It's difficult to get in with Dr. Michinaga if you haven't been referred.
We're booked months in advance.
Months in advance?
Excuse me.
Haruka!
I'll let you take a look.
Eh? Oh, thanks.
Oh, so cool!
My Dad promised me.
He said once the surgery is a success and I recover that I'll wear these and we'll run together.
Listen. You can't wear these till then.
Promise!
Okay, I promise. I won't even let Mom touch them.
Good.
Why did you let me touch them?
Well... I'm not sure.
-I wanted to tell someone. -What do you mean?
It's okay if I don't recover.
I wanted to show Dad that I can put these shoes on and run.
There's no reason for me to recover if Dad isn't here.
But Mom would scold me if I said such a thing.
Well done.
It's been 30 years since I've become a detective,
but you're the first to not even say a single word in over 40 hours.
People will talk about unrelated things if you keep quiet.
Humans talk and it's not an exaggeration that we have the instinct to want to talk to others.
We reply when asked a question.
You raise your voice and you want to complain when someone is in front of you.
If your intention is to abandon this
it will be considered as a big reason.
What information are you holding?
Isn't it time to tell us?
-Let's catch a ride. -Alright.
-Ah! -Ahh!
What are you guys doing!?
The same could be said to you.
We're not ashamed to wear red badges while doing work.
We happened to see Motsu and Nabe at the Seiou Medical University Hospital.
Happened?
We visited Sugita's daughter at that hospital.
We arrived at the hospital because we were chasing leads on the suspect.
I told you it was great he was arrested.
The famous surgeon.
She didn't tell me his name since it was adultery.
I saw her with the doctor at an Azabu bar.
He was the attending doctor for her mother who is deceased now.
I somewhat disagreed with it...
He's the attending doctor for Sugita's daughter...
Yes, Michinaga Kousaku.
Kasumi Tomoko's mother was admitted to Seiou Medical University Hospital 2 years ago.
Tomoko relied on a connection and got her mother operated on, but she died post-operation.
This is a guess, but
Michinaga with his god hands messed up and tried to make it up to Tomoko.
Can I give my hypothesis on this?
It's a hypothesis I don't want to think about.
It's not strange that Sugita's daughter will die from her illness if she's not operated on.
They've been to many hospitals according to neighbors and even though they requested surgery
Sugita's daughter would have to wait her turn since she didn't have a referral.
And?
On the one hand, Michinaga with his god hands,
was persistently bothered and exploited by Kasumi Tomoko.
In exchange for his daughter's surgery,
Sugita committed murder.
This is substantiated by his daughter's immediate surgery after his arrest.
The Sugita family is in a special personal room that they can't pay for.
That's an interesting plot, but it's a little far fetched.
-And your basis? -The jogging shoes.
Why that?
Right after the incident, Sugita gave Haruka
brand new jogging shoes.
Wear these and let's go running after you're recovered.
In other words, Sugita knew she would have her surgery soon.
But before that, he didn't know when she would have her surgery.
Is it too far of a stretch that Michinaga is a potential suspect?
That's a bit of a stretch.
Will Sugita react if we mention Michinaga?
Unnecessary things makes it difficult.
If your hypothesis is correct,
Sugita will not speak until after his daughter's surgery is over.
If this gets out that Michinaga requested a murder,
Sugita's daughter will not get operated on.
-When is the surgery? -In 3 days. We can't wait that long.
This is a serious problem since we can't use this information.
You should take responsibility.
You said your brilliant subordinates will go all-in in this gamble.
We've put the facts together with confidence.
This is very unfortunate.
Please wait a moment.
If you drag him in for an arrest,
Sugita's daughter will not be operated on.
That's right.
It's only 3 days.
It's not too late if we wait until after the surgery.
I disagree. He took someone's life away
to save his own daughter and that's unforgivable.
But that girl didn't commit a crime.
Murder is unforgivable no matter what!
It's Nabe.
Hello?
What? His daughter is missing?
She suddenly went missing from her room.
Hey!
Do you know where she would've gone?
-Yes... -Haruka!?
Where is Haruka!?
Hey, the shoes. Are the new jogging shoes there?
Not here.
Question the mother and look for her!
You're responsible if anything happens!
U-Understood!
Why are you ordering my subordinate around?!
Please let me interrogate Sugita.
Do you have the guts?
I'll strip him of what he's got.
Fine, have at it.
We're switching. I'm Makabe.
I'm Nakata.
I need to tell you something extremely important before we interrogate you.
Haruka is missing.
While your wife was meeting with Dr. Michinaga
Haruka suddenly went missing from the hospital.
Do you know where she would be heading?
You're still not talking given the state of affairs!
I get it.
You don't need to talk if you don't want to.
But please listen to what I have to say.
I lost my husband suddenly.
Serious? She's a widow.
It was a big shock because I loved him so much.
I lost my desire to live
and I wanted to take my children with me to die too.
I'm not joking.
My elementary school daughter said this at that time...
"Mom, you're stupid for wanting to die, too."
Everything was transparent even my ego.
Haruka knows everything that's going on too.
How her father has been arrested,
and why she's suddenly undergoing surgery.
Do you know where she's headed!?
Father!
Tsukishima.
The seaside park.
He talked!
I drove there often with her.
I told her we'd run there together.
Tsukishima Seaside Park!
Hey, it's me. Go to Tsukishima Seaside Park in Chuou!
Roger.
Are you going to tell us everything now?
So you weren't going to talk till Haruka was safely operated on? How grand!
I'll do anything to save my child.
Isn't that what parents do?
I don't know when Haruka's illness will turn for the worse.
I'm walking a tightrope everyday.
I want her to be able to run freely.
Haruka...
has put on those jogging shoes you gave her and took off.
You'll run with her if she recovered.
Haruka put the shoes on even though you made that promise.
When she showed me those shoes...
I wanted to show Dad that I can put these shoes on and run.
There's no reason to recover is Dad isn't around.
You may think you're doing this for Haruka, but
I don't think she'd want to have surgery if her father committed a crime for it.
What do you...
Why did Haruka leave without a word?
She's probably thinking that it's her fault that her father is in trouble now.
You still don't get it?
You've driven Haruka into a corner!
Even if she gets healthy,
there's no meaning to it if her father is not there.
All she wants is for you to be there by her side even though she's sick.
I'm pretty sure that's what Haruka is feeling now.
And that's why she put those shoes on!
It doesn't matter where she goes!
She's wearing those shoes with nowhere to go because she forced her beloved father to commit a crime!
NO!!!!
Mr. Sugita... Sugita!
-Father! -I saw it.
It's because I saw it...
You saw it?
You didn't murder Tomoko?
I was going to plead with the doctor again about the surgery...
Doctor! Please!
There's not many doctors who could perform my daughter's surgery.
The doctor from the previous hospital refused
so Dr. Michinaga was our last hope.
I wasn't giving up no matter how many times I was refused.
Do you hate me now?
I was confused as to what to do when he was with a woman.
That's not the case right?
Hey!
-There's many men who would pay me to date them. -Let go!
You're despicable.
And to think things were going well.
I will mess up your life.
Someone! Help me!
Ah, someone! Call the police!
Stop!
I'll operate on your daughter.
I'll get things in order and I'll definitely operate on her.
Don't mention me.
I had to do it.
Then I got arrested by the police...
Listen. Don't be shocked by anything that happens.
This is all for Haruka's surgery.
What do you mean? Explain it to me.
It's for Haruka. That's all you need to know.
Thank God.
Everyone is worried.
Haruka!
Mom...
I'm sorry.
Thank goodness.
Understood.
They found Haruka.
If there's no way to save my daughter from her illness,
my wife and I would live peacefully until her last day.
But we can't do nothing if there is a way to save her.
It's forgivable if we were elected for this,
but we didn't have a choice!
Am I greedy because of this?
No, I would've thought the same.
It must be painful.
Please.
Until the surgery is over,
can you wait to arrest the doctor?
Mr. Sugita...
If you would've lived your life a little more reasonably,
that would've been better.
You lived and worked honestly because you love your daughter.
The neighbors told the police that you're not the criminal
and even Haruka dropped me a hint.
Even though you haven't said anything
I can clearly see the truth in how you lived your life.
Commissioner.
Please arrest Michinaga Kousaku.
Good work.
It went perfectly.
What do you want!
Doctor, Sugita Eiji told us everything. Please come with us.
Thousands of patients are waiting for me.
W-Wait. Come, come.
We extremely regret this.
A suspect has been arrested in the murder case of the model.
The suspect is Michinaga Kousaku
a cardiovascular surgeon at Seiou Medical University Hospital.
It's been determined by Interrogations that the material witness is unrelated to the murder.
Sugita Eiji masqueraded as the suspect in order for his daughter to receive an operation.
This is absolutely unforgivable,
but I can understand that the parents saw this as the only way.
Thank you for your consideration.
A crime is a crime. There's nothing more to it.
But is Makabe doing okay?
She had to reveal herself even though she stripped the suspect of everything.
It seems she lost herself when she revealed herself.
But that's Makabe for you.
That's how you and I are utilizing Makabe.
Well, I'm just picking at a bone.
Please listen to me.
I suddenly lost my husband.
Seriously, it's good that Sugita wasn't criticized.
But his daughter's surgery has come to nothing.
This may sound naive,
but I don't agree with Makabe's thoughts on this.
-Thank you for waiting. -Thank you for waiting.
But I feel most sorry for that girl.
I wonder if she can't be saved?
It must be unbearable as the parents.
But I think Makabe is correct this time.
We have to arrest a murderer no matter what the reason is.
Welcome.
Oolong tea highball.
-Where is she? -She didn't want to drink.
Maybe she's feeling down? Because she couldn't save Sugita's daughter.
It's because she has to raise her children after losing her husband.
I wonder...
I don't know whether she lost her husband or not...
That's true. She seemed calm telling that lie.
-What's up with the flowers? -Nothing.
It's because I'm a woman.
-I didn't know that. -I didn't know that.
Wait... Did you guys make up?
We're not those kind of kids!
Good. Let's eat dinner.
I'm sorry, but it's the usual stuff I always buy.
I'm not leaving even if it's for a case.
It's not related to a case.
Then what is it? Did you want to hear my voice?
You're bad at joking as usual.
I have news about Sugita Haruka.
The doctor who rejected her surgery before
just announced her candidacy for the surgery.
Based on the Chief's comments
it seems the doctor had regrets about repeatedly refusing Sugita's pleas.
You got the Chief to say that, right?
What are you saying? That's the Chief's personality.
Bye.
-Ah, thanks! -You're in a good mood!
-It's weird. -Weird?
-A boyfriend? -Boyfriend? Stop that.
What a bad joke. Dad is enough for me.
