I'm sorry.
Nana!
He said it all began with the Musashino case.
Something troublesome has come up.
I'll need you to clean it up.
It wasn't me.
Katō...
is the culprit.
Please think carefully.
His life is at stake.
It clearly was still there...
in the back courtyard.
Senpai...
The body and Ōyama's DNA...
are a match.
The skeletal remains are that of Ōyama Takeshi's.
There is no doubt about it.
I was already prepared for the eventuality of senpai's death.
If he were alive,
he would never have
forsaken Uncle or myself.
Still, every so often, I catch myself imagining...
At the precinct...
senpai calling my name
as he walks in.
Everything will be resolved by this weekend.
Let's talk about it then.
It should have been by that weekend...
Instead it has been 18 years.
If Sergeant Ōyama knew...
that in these 18 years,
there are those who continued to miss him, wait for him...
he would have been very happy.
Uncle, let us get some rest.
Fujiyoshi
Perhaps there are some clues in here.
The photo... senpai, he...
A photo
taken properly with senpai...
This is the only one.
If I had known it would turn out this way...
I should have...
I should have taken more photos.
SIGNAL: Cold Case Investigation Team Episode 9
JULY 20, 1999
They're coming out!
Older brother! Older brother!
Older brother!
My older brother is not the culprit!
Older brother!
Older brother! Older brother!
So Kento is currently staying elsewhere?
Yes.
He's staying with relatives.
His uncle also lives alone, although he is not very well-off.
It is better for him there than staying here with me.
Don't come back
Rapist family
Hurry up and get lost
His surname too
has been changed to my maiden surname Saegusa.
Kento is very close to his older brother.
Ryōta too...
Mother
takes really good care of Kento.
Just buy yourself something for dinner
Welcome.
What is it?
I'd like an omurice.
What?
Where do you live? Where are your parents?
Excuse me... I would like to order.
Sure. Please wait a moment.
What would you like?
Give me a yakitori or something similar, and a beer.
On top of that...
Can you please make that child an omurice?
What?
Well, he looks like he's very hungry.
Are you his father?
If I were his father, won't we be eating together?
I will pay more for your trouble.
Please.
What?
Thank you for waiting.
Eat slowly.
You must be hungry.
Kento! You've put too much.
See?
Can I tell you my wish?
I wish to go out and have a meal together.
The omurice I had last time with all of you was unforgettable.
Fujiyoshi
Here's your draft beer. Thank you for waiting.
Welcome.
Who is that...
It's been a long time.
You've become respectable.
Since you entered the police force,
you never drop by anymore.
I'm sorry.
Have you eaten?
Shall I make you an omurice?
- I've eaten. - I see.
May I know.
This business card is one of yours, right?
Yes. It's one that I used long ago.
Fujiyoshi
Then,
Do you know this person?
Oh, it's that person.
That person?
It was a long time ago. When you came to the shop.
He asked me to make you omurice.
He even paid a lot of money.
What?
Here you go.
Clearly you weren't his child
so I always thought it strange.
Thank you for the meal.
Thank you for your patronage.
Thank you for the meal.
He forbade me from telling you.
However, one day he stopped coming around.
I was very lonely.
I was always alone.
Until now, I had always thought so.
That was harder than anything else.
However,
that was not the case.
I was...
not alone after all.
JUNE 21, 2006
You there.
I hope you would study hard for the next test.
Here are the notes.
Look through it and put in some effort to study.
If the class average does not improve, the teacher would be angry with me again.
You're so noisy.
If you continue this way, no one...
What are you two doing here?
Aoi, is something going on between you and Saegusa.
Don't be ridiculous. It's not like that.
How cute!
What were you two doing?
I heard that your older brother
was arrested for raping a female student.
You're just as quick with your hands.
Stop it!
Didn't I say stop!
Stop it! Stop it!
Hey!
What did you say about my brother?!
Thank you all for your help.
Bill please.
Yes.
Do you know why Ryōta was chosen?
Someone with no money or connections
is easy to crush.
You should know your place and live quietly.
You're still roaming about so late at night.
You'll end up a loafer when you grow up.
Shut up.
Tell me.
Should I go to university?
University? You?
Is it impossible?
Can you afford the fees?
I can't.
There you go.
If you set your mind to live your life properly,
it is not important whether or not you go to university.
I have never been.
Just get a proper job and do it diligently.
After all, you're still young.
Qualify as a civil servant
or a police officer.
Police?
Sergeant Ōyama.
This is Saegusa.
With regards to the Musashino case...
I will pursue it to the end.
Cold cases exist because someone gave up on it.
No matter what happens, I will never give up on this case.
I...
want you to be happy.
You...
should be with your loved ones...
I believe this is more important
than solving the case.
Me too.
I pray that you will find happiness.
Even if you were poor,
being able to be with your family under the same roof.
Gather together around a warm dinner table.
Enjoy a meal together.
A life free of loneliness.
That's the life...
I wish for you, Lieutenant.
Sergeant Ōyama.
Please stop working on the Musashino case.
If you go any further,
you will be in danger.
It doesn't matter.
A Violent Crimes detective won't fear this.
You were the one who started the transmissions.
It was me?
Back then, you told me
the transmissions would start again.
The past can be changed.
That was what you said.
But right after that,
I heard a gun shot.
This case was probably the cause.
So...
That's enough.
I do not wish to know what happens after that.
I will never give up.
No matter what happens,
I will definitely uncover the truth.
Sergeant Ōyama.
After Sergeant Ōyama's body was discovered,
what was the reaction of First Investigation Division?
They began investigating on grounds of murder and disposal of body.
Although they raided Okamoto's office,
he managed to escape.
In other words,
Okamoto was definitely involved in Sergeant Ōyama's death.
That was why he escaped before the police raid.
But how did he find out about it?
The discovery of the remains were definitely not revealed to the press.
- While I hate the idea of it... - That's right.
There is a mole in the police organisation.
Chief Iwata's murder.
Sergeant Ōyama's murder and disposal of the body.
It all started with the Musashino gang rape case.
Who else knew the truth of the case
apart from Chief Iwata and Okamoto.
For example,
the victim of the Musashino case.
Iguchi Nana.
The senpais are already tracing her whereabouts.
Well?
Iguchi Nana's parents are deceased.
She has no phone numbers or bank cards in her name.
She severed all contact with her friends....
Sergeant Yamada,
Slacking off during work hours is not right.
If such behaviour is acceptable,
I will go and have a caramel macchiato at the café.
Please continue.
However, medical insurance cannot be falsified.
I found hospital records of her treatment for psychosomatic disorders.
Motomura Nana Address: 5-13-5 East Akabane, Kita Ward Former Name: Iguchi Nana
Please let me go.
As team leader, I would have to submit a written apology.
This is more important than a written apology.
I know.
- They ran away immediately. - Seriously?
- Of course. - What a bunch of losers.
Exactly.
Ms. Iguchi Nana.
We like to ask you some questions
about the 1999 case at Tojo High School.
Katō Ryōta is my older brother.
Katō was...
the only person...
who was kind to me.
Hey.
What are you doing?
You cannot drink alcohol.
You have no use for these too.
Why should you care?
I wonder too.
Perhaps it's because we are both from poor families.
I'm just worried about you.
He cared about me...
Stop!
more than anyone else.
However, I...
You are the only one
who can determine your own life.
You should make the wise choice.
Katō...
is the culprit.
I'm sorry.
Why?
Back then, why didn't you
reveal the truth?
We are not here to blame Ms. Iguchi.
I understand how you feel.
Can you tell us the truth of the matter now?
This is Ryōta!
Iguchi.
Iguchi!
What is it?
Ryōta called.
He said he cannot make it today and asked me to apologise on his behalf.
I see.
Has Katō been tutoring you these days?
Are you two really just studying?
Or are you up to something else?
Just look how happy you are.
Just because your parents are rich,
you act like you're better than anyone else and think that you're so special.
Katō is totally different from you.
No! No!
The principal offender was Ogawa Yōichi.
The son of Ogawa Urban Development's president.
The current Chairman.
It's still not too late to expose them
as long as you testify that Ogawa was the principal offender.
I can't do that.
I have a husband and children.
You were a victim.
As the victim...
do you know what everyone was saying about me?
"She seduced them first."
"She is a slut."
The real culprit is living as if nothing has happened
while my brother died so young
in his stead.
Died?
Katō?
He committed suicide
on the day he was released from juvenile detention.
That can't be...
Katō could not have committed suicide...
That's a lie.
It's true.
I was the one who discovered his body.
Katō...
wrote to me while he was in juvenile detention.
What?
He said he did not hate me.
Those who made me suffer
were the ones to blame.
Just forget it all and start afresh.
He said he would not give up on his life either,
Katō Ryōta
and was going to start all over.
That was what his letter said.
I don't believe
those are the words of a person with suicide on his mind.
I'm sorry.
Wait!
The statute of limitations has expired.
There's nothing we can do now.
If it was not a suicide...
Saegusa!
MARCH 20, 2000
Welcome back.
I'm home.
Hi.
What is it?
What did you want to say?
I'm sorry.
What are you apologising for?
You had no choice either, right?
Actually, I have something I want to pass to you.
What is it?
- You've worked hard. - You've worked hard.
Chief Executive Officer Ogawa Seiichi
This is highly unusual.
A busy director coming all the way to the local precinct.
I wish to express my thanks.
Thanks?
It should be fixed now.
Thank you very much.
Although the shop is a little old,
it has its own unique character.
You went to check it out?
You have really worked hard.
It seems you're still investigating the case.
You seem concerned.
What could you do even if you continued to pursue it.
Grow up.
Ōyama.
I do have a sense of justice.
I understand your feelings.
However, you and I both need to survive in this organisation.
You are an excellent police officer.
You have a great future ahead of you.
Your father hopes to see you succeed as well.
I am giving you a chance to join us.
How about it?
All it takes is the first time...
Once you do it, you can never turn back.
Once I start getting used to the ill-gotten money...
I will end up like you.
Sorry, but I don't intend to become someone else's expendable dog.
- Ōyama. - Yes?
Your phone kept on ringing.
Ōyama speaking.
This is Katō Ryōta.
Katō Ryōta?
Oh Katō, it's you.
What is it?
I was released from juvenile detention today.
I see.
Actually,
I wish to hand something over to you.
What is it?
It is evidence that can...
identify the real culprit.
Evidence of the real culprit?
I do not trust the other detectives.
Mr. Ōyama, you were the only one
who took my words seriously.
So, it has to be you, Mr. Ōyama.
I got it. I'll be right there.
You can tell me the details afterwards.
Ōyama.
Yes.
Where are you going?
The investigation meeting is about to start.
Is Sakurai's report all prepared?
Got it.
You should look out for her.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
I am from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Around 5PM of the 28th,
did this person come here?
Come to Tokyo Josai Hospital.
Before that, there is something I must do.
Yes, it's fine.
It's fine now.
Before he died,
Chief Iwata told me to come to Tokyo Josai Hospital
in order to tell me something.
Medical Division
Data Management Division
This is it.
Although he requested for the report,
he never returned to collect it.
That's right. I've come to collect it on his behalf.
It is the blood sample test results, correct?
What?
Katō Ryōta.
A patient sent to the ER in 2000.
Date tested: March 20, 2000 Subject: Katō Ryōta
That's the one?
Yes, that's right.
May I know if there was
anything unusual about the test results?
The results of a drug and alcohol screening show...
abnormal concentrations of sedatives and anticoagulant.
Sedatives and anticoagulant?
What does that mean...
Although the levels in the body could be affected by
the person's history of taking sedatives or related illnesses,
the amount in his body would knock out a normal person.
Knock out?
As its name implies,
an anticoagulant would prevent the blood from clotting.
Your moving about everywhere is making you even more suspicious.
Don't act rashly.
First Investigation Division will be arriving shortly.
My brother did not...
kill himself after all.
What?
In my brother's blood,
they detected high levels of sedatives.
This was not a suicide.
This is evidence of murder.
Chief Iwata was not investigating
the gang rape case, but my brother's.
That was the reason he called me.
Around 11:20,
the suspects climbed over the wall of the victim's home
and ran towards the west side.
Upside down. It's upside down.
That's not it. That's not it.
Hey.
Thank you very much.
Sergeant Ōyama and I split up
and started chasing them from here and here
while reporting the situation back to headquarters via the walkie-talkie.
Please take a look at the material at hand.
The person here...
Kinoshita speaking.
Why did they kill your brother?
It was most likely to shut him up.
My brother could have come into evidence that could identify the real culprit.
After that,
Chief Iwata who tried to reveal it too...
It all began with the Musashino case.
Chief Iwata said this before he died, right?
Yes.
The person in charge of the case
was Commissioner Nakamoto.
The person in charge of this case is also Commissioner Nakamoto.
It is dangerous to act without proof.
Two detectives are already dead because of this case.
This is…
This was the walkie-talkie Ōyama senpai always had with him.
Why do you have it?
You once said that
if you could communicate with the past,
you would ask him to protect the person you cherish the most.
I should have told him that, but I could not say it.
I could not say it.
I did not tell him that on April 15th, 2000
he would be killed at Tanihara Memorial Hospital.
Ōyama senpai.
What is it?
Thank you very much for guiding me with the report.
You must be more confident.
Nonetheless,
you did a pretty good job.
Thank you.
Senpai.
What's this?
Movie tickets.
I know that you have been very stressed lately
so I hope you can watch a movie with someone to relax yourself.
I don't watch movies.
Sorry.
What's this?
Lieutenant Saegusa.
Lieutenant Saegusa, can you hear me?
I hear you, Sergeant Ōyama.
What?
Lieutenant,
Katō Ryōta is your older brother, right.
He is not the real culprit. Don't worry.
I'll be getting the evidence of the real culprit soon.
Sergeant Ōyama.
Please save my brother!
What do you mean?
My brother is going to be murdered!
Murdered?
It is a murder made to look like a suicide!
On March 20th, 2000.
March 20th...
Today.
Are you certain?
There's no mistake.
March 20th.
My older brother will be killed at home.
I beg of you...
Please save my brother!
Sergeant Ōyama?
Sergeant Ōyama!
What is going on?
FINAL EPISODE 15 MINUTE EXTENSION
Final Preview
Sergeant Ōyama.
I beg of you...
Please save my brother!
I don't know what you are saying.
Get out.
I will never forgive you!
You can't go there. You can't...
0.5, why do you have this walkie-talkie?
It can be changed.
- The past can surely be changed. - Saegusa!
Translation: liddi @ D-Addicts
To me, that is my last hope.
Yes. As long as we do not give up, there is hope.
