Report received of intruder in the Shiraishi home
The suspect should still be nearby.
It's me! I'm telling you it's me!
It really isn't my father.
I guarantee it.
I want to know who is responsible for the Shirogaoka District serial burglaries.
It is too dangerous to change the past.
The suspect was arrested in 1998.
The case is closed.
There's an emergency alert on a kidnapping.
The suspect has been identified.
Kudō Masayuki, 58 years old.
All of this happened because of me.
Please tell me
what exactly happened!
Kudō is not the culprit.
What do you mean?
This case should have remained unsolved.
However,
it's all because I insisted on investigating it.
MAY 8, 1998
I planned to wake up early so I went to bed early that night.
However, a sound woke me up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a man over there.
When the man realised I was awake,
he immediately jumped out through the window.
Did you see what he looked like?
Yes, although it was merely a glance.
Does anyone in these photos look familiar?
It seems like him.
Are you certain?
It looks like this person.
That's him. No mistake about it.
He really identified Kudō Masayuki?
Yes, he saw the face.
Ōyama.
We have identified the fingerprint on the mailbox.
Kudō!
- What's the matter? - Come with me.
What is wrong with you?
Why?
What is it?
The victim said he saw you.
What?
Your fingerprint was found at the scene of the crime.
That's not possible.
How did you pay for your van?
You must believe me.
I definitely would not do anything that would break Kazumi's heart.
Come with me to the police station.
Let's go.
I didn't do it.
That's enough. Come with me.
- Uncle! - I already said it wasn't me!
Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!
My father is not the culprit!
Uncle Ōyama,
haven't I said before? It isn't my father.
Kazumi.
It will be fine.
Father.
Trust me. I will be home very soon.
Go over to your aunt's place tonight.
I will send Kazumi to the bus stop.
Can you wait for me?
Please send my regards to your aunt.
And then?
My friends and I practiced a lot after school.
You must come and watch.
Of course.
You must!
When is it?
At the time, my daughter and I were both on that bus.
Then an accident happened.
Kaori and I were saved,
but Kaori suffered the aftermath to this day.
Incoming call!
Answer it.
Hello.
Father, it's me.
Kaori!
Can you hear me?
Answer me!
Where are you? Are you okay?
Kaori!
Kaori, are you alone?
I am alone.
It's extremely cold.
Let me talk to her.
Miss Kaori?
I am Sakurai of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Where are you?
Please tell me what you see.
It looks like a warehouse.
So cold.
Warehouse?
Is it very big?
It's like the freezer of a truck.
Is there a window?
There is no window.
I can't see anything.
I'm so cold.
Refrigerator truck. Search for a refrigerator truck.
We've got the location!
Location confirmed. All that remains is time.
Search every refrigerator truck in the area.
Yes!
Contact the search teams!
Something is off.
Hang in there!
Kudō has always been meticulous.
Where is it?
Why was Kaori's phone not removed?
You will be fine. You will definitely be fine.
I know.
What is it?
I have identified Kudō's motive.
Kaori is not the target.
What do you mean?
Kudō's daughter and Kaori
were in the same accident.
What?
Kudō harbours a deep hatred for Mr. Yabe.
You've worked hard.
Come here.
You've worked hard.
It's you again.
Once a scum, always a scum.
What's going on?
There was a bad traffic accident earlier.
Traffic accident?
According to live coverage,
a traffic accident happened earlier.
A bus carrying 10 passengers
was involved in a multiple collision.
Let's take a look at the situation there.
From the footage, we can see
rescue operations are underway to save the passengers.
Rescuers are racing against time to save them.
Kudō!
Excuse me, please let me pass!
Due to the accident...
Ōyama! Ōyama! What are you doing?
From the footage,
there are still passengers waiting to be rescued.
Is that a school uniform?
Reports say that this bus route is used by many students.
The thick smoke and fire is impeding the rescue efforts.
The North Josai Central firefighters who are working to rescue...
Kazumi! Kazumi...
Is that Kazumi?
Kazumi! Kazumi!
Let me go! That's my daughter! My daughter!
Save Kazumi quickly!
Isn't anyone going to help!
Traffic police are arriving soon.
The special rescue teams are still working.
It has become extremely difficult to proceed with the rescue.
What are you doing!
We hope that everything can be done
to accomplish the rescue efforts.
Looks like a female student has been rescued.
There is the possibility of an explosion
- due to the leaking petrol. - Do your best! Do your best!
- Hurry up! -Kazumi! Kazumi...
Retreat!
Kazumi!
Kudō blames his daughter's death
on Kaori's father, and harbours a deep hatred.
Who told you that?
A witness to the accident.
Witness?
Don't worry about that now.
If Kudō had intended to kill Kaori,
he would have killed her on the spot, not abducted her.
Yet he deliberately abducted her
because he wants Kaori's father to experience
seeing his own daughter die without being able to do anything.
Kudō's motive is not money,
but revenge towards Yabe.
He diverted the police's attention
by allowing Kaori to make the call?
Kudō would definitely choose the perfect spot for revenge
and lure Yabe there.
She could be held captive
near the location of the bus accident.
I am headed over there right now.
Please tell me
what exactly happened!
Kudō is not the culprit.
What is going on?
Apply more pressure to the shoulder.
What are you doing!
Kudō was innocent, wasn't he!
The prints on the mailbox were definitely Kudō's.
However, he had an alibi!
Say something!?
At the time of the crime,
someone said that he saw Kudō elsewhere.
Why did you disregard that testimony!
- What's going on! - Ōyama...
It was the higher-ups!
It was the orders from the higher-ups.
Was it the chief?
It has to be someone higher up.
The Metropolitan Police Department wanted the case resolved long ago.
It doesn't matter who the culprit is!
- Ōyama, Kudō... - Calm down!
He has already been handed over to the prosecutors.
It wasn't me.
Get in.
It wasn't me.
It's because of you!
Kazumi is dead because of you!
- Calm down! - It's all your fault!
- Stop it! - Ōyama!!
- Stop it! - It's all your fault!!!
If only this case had been left unsolved.
Yet I...
It's all because I insisted on investigating it.
It's all my fault.
So I must find a way to fix it.
Cold Case Investigation Team Episode 6
We can't track it because the phone is switched off.
Do you hear me? Yabe switched off his phone.
Send backup quickly.
Backup? Where to?
The location of the 1998 Josai bus accident.
Come to the site of the Josai bus accident. If you bring the police, your daughter dies.
Where is my daughter?
How do you feel now?
Why are you doing this!
You did the same thing right here.
I want you to see how it feels.
Seeing your daughter die slowly before your eyes.
Wearing thin clothes at minus 30°C.
She will be dead in 2 to 3 hours.
How long would she last if it were minus 10°C?
I... I beg you!
Please save her... please save her!
It is all my fault, so
I beg you to please save my daughter!
Now is not the time for you to beg me.
Hurry up and save her.
Where is it?
It should be nearby.
Where is Kaori?
Did you find it?
I've apprehended Kudō.
A refrigerator truck is parked towards the south side of the accident.
I'll be right over.
Kaori! Kaori!
Kaori! Are you in there? Say something!
Damn it!
Is that it?
Kudō Masayuki.
You are hereby arrested on charges of kidnapping.
It's too short.
Compared to the 20 years I've suffered,
his pain is only for a moment.
He tried to escape several times, so his sentence was extended.
Also, he occasionally had seizures.
I heard his daughter died in a fire due to an accident.
He said he wanted to qualify in electronic technology
and studied the technical books that he ordered.
His daughter died in the fire from the accident.
Kaori!
Electronic technology qualifications.
Stand back!
Officer, my daughter. My daughter is inside!
I called her but there is no response!
Stand back!
Held captive in a refrigerator truck.
Kaori... Kaori!
Why did you study electronic technology?
What is the reason?
Pull! Harder! Harder!
Gas is used for the refrigeration in the trucks.
Kaori... Kaori...
Hurry...
It's open. It's open!
Kaori!
It's dangerous. Please step back!
Don't go in! You mustn't go in!
Are you okay?
Please hang on! How are you feeling?
We've found the victim. Hurry up and call an ambulance!
Ambulance! Ambulance! Quickly!
Sakurai!
If only this case had been left unsolved.
It's all because I insisted on investigating it.
I told you not to touch it.
The Administration department is short of a desk.
And her personal belongings have to be returned to her family.
If you're short of a desk, can't you find one elsewhere?
The boss asked me to move it.
Which boss said that!
I did.
Police office supplies are paid for with taxpayers' money.
Of course they must be returned.
The team is down by one person but there will be no replacement.
Yamada will take over as team leader.
Is this the way of the police?
What is it?
That is the desk of someone who was our colleague until just yesterday.
Her body is barely cold.
This is too unfeeling!
Weren't you near the crime scene yesterday?
Yes.
The Cold Case team be disbanded soon.
Just hang in there for a few more days.
Officer Saegusa.
Please accept my condolences.
Yes.
By the way.
What is it?
Misaki...
She told me before
about a police officer who hates the police.
What?
Arrogant, full of ideas, obsessive.
Often infuriating.
However, she also said
this detective has
the most important quality a police officer should have.
Lately, she often mentioned you.
I believe she must have had high hopes for you.
If you do not change how you do things,
no one will listen to you.
Think about it.
Aren't you a profiler?
Keep an emotional distance
and analyse the case.
Step back
and stay calm.
The evidence that convicted Kudō
are the prints on the mailbox
and the testimony of 3rd victim
the Shiraishi family's eldest son, Tomohiro.
There must be some form of connection here.
Only by catching the real culprit can the future be changed.
"Only by catching the real culprit can the future be changed."
- You head over there! - Okay!
Every house in the area has very tight security.
It won't be easy even just to sneak into the compound.
That's true.
Stop! Don't let him get away!
- Got him! - Got him!
There is definitely nowhere to escape.

What if Shiraishi lied.
MAY 22, 1998
You're back.
You must be Shiraishi Tomohiro.
I am Ōyama from Josai Precinct.
You weren't answering my calls so I came to see you instead.
Officer, hasn't the culprit been apprehended?
There are still some things I want to ask you.
I have told you everything I know.
Excuse me. I have an appointment.
What are you trying to do?
It appears that you're pressed for time,
so I'll get straight to the point.
You said that you saw the intruder that night.
I've said this many times.
I just wanted to confirm it once more.
The culprit jumped out through the window and ran towards the east. Am I right?
Yes, that's right.
That's strange then.
There were many detectives then, yet no one saw the culprit.
I won't know about that. I saw it clear as day.
Previously,
you clearly said that he escaped towards the west.
What are you trying to pull?
There was nowhere for the culprit to escape.
Why did you lie?
What are you hiding?
- What are you waiting for? - Yes.
Please stop your questions.
You are making this difficult for me. Please go.
The culprit is an amateur.
A professional would never consecutively target houses so close to each other
as households in the vicinity would be on alert.
But it is very strange.
Although the M.O. is that of an amateur,
yet he managed to break into houses with such tight security.
Where did he come out from?
Who told you to approach the Shiraishi boy?
Of course it's to conduct investigations.
This case was closed the moment Kudō was arrested.
It is not over!
No matter how you look at it, there is nowhere for the culprit to escape.
Yet why couldn't we catch the culprit?
It's because there was no culprit to begin with.
Shiraishi Tomohiro was lying.
This is very possibly orchestrated by them.
Shouldn't we reopen the investigation?
Ōyama.
Tomohiro is the son of the president of Shiraishi Heavy Industries.
Don't blow this out of proportion.
Chief!
Although it is frustrating,
people are differentiated by class!
Whatever Tomohiro Shiraishi says is evidence.
No matter what Kudō says, it will be treated as rubbish.
So do we just turn a blind eye to it?
That's how it is.
Just accept the facts.
Seriously.
What a wonderful world this is.
Do we call ourselves cops!
Sergeant Ōyama. Can you hear me?
Lieutenant Saegusa.
What happened to Kudō?
Kudō... killed someone.
A detective was... killed.
A detective?
What is the progress of the serial burglaries investigation?
I've identified a suspect. However,
there is no evidence.
Suspect...
Is it Shiraishi Tomohiro?
That's right. It's Shiraishi.
The sons of the three houses that were broken into
all studied in different schools
and do not appear to have any connection.
However,
they are all members of the same yacht club.
Yacht club?
The sons of the three families all know each other.
I don't believe that is a coincidence.
The evidence leading to Kudō's arrest
are the fingerprints on the mailbox and eyewitness testimony.
However, Shiraishi's testimony is suspicious.
Does anyone in these photos look familiar?
It seems like him.
Are you certain?
It looks like this person.
That's him. No mistake about it.
Shiraishi...
He must have already known Kudō.
Knew Kudō?
In other words, Kudō and Shiraishi had crossed paths before?
If we can figure out how they met,
this could mean a breakthrough in the case.
However,
Kudō refuses to see me.
He won't see me.
I will ask Kudō.
Ask the Kudō of 2018.
Then what should I do?
The stolen goods should still be hidden somewhere.
Find them.
The stolen goods will provide conclusive evidence.
Got it. I will find the evidence.
Lieutenant Saegusa.
Please convince Kudō to talk.
Please.
We must...
solve this case.
Preview
Is it really fine for the real culprit to get away scot-free?
With money and power,
can a person do anything he pleases in this world?
Just change it. I still won't be able to forgive.
- You're finished. - Ōyama, what's going on?
It is extremely dangerous to investigate this case.
You could end up like your brother.
Chief Iwata!
