Wait a minute.
What are you doing?
I came here to tell you something important.
Rei.
You have the right to know.
Stop.
Rei.
You are my child.
My...
dad?
Yes.
You are my daughter.
I'm your dad.
What are you talking about?
- How is that possible? - Stop talking nonsense!
Think about it!
- She... - Stop talking!
What?
She was born in September 1993.
If that's the case...
Yoko, stop!
Wait a minute.
I am only here to tell the truth.
You want to know the truth, right?
Shut up!
Hold on.
It wasn't me.
Are you all right?
Ambulance.
- I'll call the ambulance. - Wait a minute.
Mrs. Tanizaki.
What's the matter?
Did something happen?
Rei.
I'll call the police.
This is an accident.
An accident.
I tripped...
and got stabbed by the knife.
Ayukawa...
left before that.
This is...
for the kids.
Do you understand, Yōko?
Rei too.
And Mao, do you understand?
Someone is injured.
Please come over immediately.
(Police)
Here.
Over there.
Here you go.
Are you okay?
Mrs. Tanizaki.
We are from the Kawakita Police Station.
Coming.
What happened?
I'm coming in.
Where is the ambulance?
They are on the way.
Are you okay?
What happened?
I tripped on my own...
and got stabbed with a knife.
So sorry...
for causing the accident.
Dad.
Please follow me to the police station.
It's blood.
That girl...
Hey.
Are they witnesses for the accident?
We are not sure yet.
Was there anyone else at the scene?
There was...
a man.
What is the relationship between that man and your family?
He is...
my former husband.
Former husband?
He had gone back prior to the accident.
Your grandpa tripped and fell on his own.
Is that true?
Who brought out the knife?
Well...
It's me.
Why did you bring out the knife?
Why did your former husband go to your house?
He wanted to talk to Yoko.
What did he want to talk about?
(Kawakita Police Station)
Rei.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Don't tell me...
You won't believe what that man told you, right?
You are my daughter.
I'm your dad.
He is definitely lying.
It's impossible that he is your dad.
Grandma.
Natsume hasn't regained consciousness,
but he is out of danger.
What about Mom?
She can't leave yet.
What?
She may have to stay a little longer.
Let's go home.
Both of you should stay at my place.
Rei.
I'll wait here for a little longer.
What?
Then I'll wait too.
You need to wake up early for morning practice, don't you?
But...
I want to stay with Rei.
I want to think by myself.
Give me a call if anything happens.
Take a taxi home.
Hey.
- Wait. - What?
Four ladies came today, right?
Yes.
There was one who looked like the mom and had blood stains here.
She looks like a normal housewife.
Yes.
Who is the victim?
The dad.
The dad?
The dad of the girls?
No, the dad of the housewife.
(Night and Holiday Counter)
Hello, Minami City Office.
Is this okay?
Kiyama.
Yes?
Someone called Nakatsu is looking for you.
Let me take over.
Thank you.
Hello, Kiyama speaking.
Kiyama.
What's wrong?
It's about that girl you said...
you were in charge of at the City Office.
Yes?
She is in Kawakita Police Station right now.
Police station?
It seems like her mom had stabbed her grandpa.
What's going on?
I won't give Rei to you!
We were once...
in love with each other.
Rei.
You are my child.
We are detaining your mom,
so go home.
Mom.
Let's go.
What happened?
Mr. Kiyama.
Why are you here?
My reporter junior informed me.
You met him at the City Office.
He informed me.
Are you all right?
My mom can't leave yet.
But I'm all right.
Is there anyone at home?
No.
My sister has gone to my grandma's place.
What about you?
I'm going home.
I need to clean up the house.
I see.
Let me send you home.
Please come in.
Even though I was told I was Mom and Dad's child...
and that I was loved,
Ayukawa...
told me...
that he was my dad.
To stop him from saying that,
Mom took out a knife...
and stabbed Grandpa by mistake.
I am Dad's daughter.
I have always believed that.
But I'm confused...
after I saw my mom's expression.
If I went to trial,
I would have found out.
Perhaps this is the reason Mom objected me to the trial.
You are only making assumptions.
You won't know anything unless you ask her.
I wonder what his blood type is.
Grandma.
Rei.
Where are you?
Do you know Dad's blood type?
What?
Dad's blood type.
Keisuke has blood type O.
Blood type O.
Rei, come here.
It's fine. I'll stay home.
Good night.
Blood type A and O.
What type is born from those?
What about you?
Blood type O.
With blood type A and O, only blood type A and O can be born.
But...
that person might have blood type O too.
This can't do.
You don't know anything, you can't make assumptions.
Even if you keep thinking about it,
you won't find answers.
You're right.
How about work tomorrow?
I'm going.
Working is the only thing I can do now.
You can't stay here tonight.
Let me send you to your grandma's place.
I want to think by myself.
I see.
Take a good rest tonight.
Dad.
I am your daughter, right?
You are...
my dad, right?
(Finding out real dad)
(You want to know who is the father to the child)
(Kinship can be identified using scientific or biological methods.)
(DNA test)
DNA test.
(Due to its weak earthquake resistance ability,)
(we have decided to demolish the building.)
(Kindly move out by the end of the month.)
What's the matter with demolition?
It's an order from Fire Department.
There's nothing I can do about it.
But I heard the tenancy has been renewed.
It is only renewed up to the demolition day.
Is this okay?
Yes.
You are my daughter.
I'm your dad.
Tanizaki, what are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Did you zone out?
I'm sorry.
Yes. They were brought into the police car.
There were blood stains on the housewife.
I heard that she stabbed her dad.
Rumor has it that a man...
ran away before the police came.
- Really? - Yes.
The police questioned me.
Was he a lover?
How was the Tanizaki family like?
Not long after moving here, the husband passed away.
It was 14 years ago.
You have a good memory.
My son is classmates with Rei.
With Tanizaki Rei?
What kind of person is she?
She is quite sensible.
We can't believe that such event took place.
By the way, she works in a bakery called Patisserie Charlotte...
just in front of the station.
Patisserie Charlotte?
Yes.
Welcome.
Thank you for your patronage.
Is the girl on leave?
The girl?
The girl on the free paper who made the apple pies.
If you mean Tanizaki, she is at the back.
Is she working today?
Yes.
Can I help you?
Didn't an incident happen last night?
Incident?
Don't you know about it?
Her mom stabbed someone.
There was a scene.
Even the police car and ambulance came.
She was brought into the police car.
The cream pudding is done.
Tanizaki.
You can leave that. Go back in.
What?
Just go.
Yes.
I'll leave it to you.
Okay.
- Please. - Fine.
Tanizaki.
Please.
Yes.
Yes?
Did something happen at home?
What?
The customers were speaking about a rumor.
Now that there is a rumor, I need to know what's going on.
It was an accident.
An accident?
My grandpa...
tripped and fell while holding a knife.
He was sent to the hospital.
I see.
That must have been terrible.
I'm sorry.
However,
we are in the service industry.
Our customers are being affected as well.
You can't focus either, right?
I'm sorry,
but could you take some time off until things calm down?
You can leave early today.
I'm sorry.
Hello.
We met at the City Office before.
Hello.
Can I interview you on the accident?
Interview?
At that time, what happened in the Tanizaki family?
It was an accident.
A man fled from the scene before the accident, right?
You were there.
What happened?
You said it was an accident, but your mom is being detained.
That doesn't seem like an accident.
It must have something to do with the man who fled.
Who is your grandpa protecting?
It was an accident.
Hello.
Is this the murderer's house?
Tanizaki.
This is Kiyama.
Mr. Kiyama.
I went to your workplace, but they said you left early.
I don't know anymore.
I don't know myself anymore.
Who should I trust?
Why just me?
Why?
What's the matter?
I wanted to believe in my mom,
but I don't know anything.
Why did things turn out this way?
It would be better if I didn't exist.
It would be better.
Why did this happen?
All right.
Let's go for a walk.
So you didn't join any clubs.
I have always been working.
At the current shop?
Yes.
Actually, I have always wanted to join basketball club.
But my mom opposed.
She wouldn't let me join sports clubs.
I see.
Maybe it's because I would get injured.
When I was in elementary school,
I fell down during sports day.
My mom immediately dashed to the field.
I would do the same if I saw it.
What?
Pass!
Shoot!
All right.
Nice home run!
All the best, Rei.
I did it! I'm so happy.
- I did it! - That's great.
All right.
No.
How lame.
Why is that? My fingers slipped.
That was refreshing.
I feel refreshed too.
Here.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I feel better.
Really?
I'm glad.
However,
I'm still suffering.
If only I can believe...
that Dad is my real dad,
but I can't do that.
I want to know...
who my real dad is.
Do you think that I'm wrong?
No.
You are not wrong.
But...
If I am really Ayukawa's daughter,
Dad would be...
so upset in heaven.
I want to know.
But I'm scared.
What if the dad I loved so much...
turn out to be a stranger?
He is no stranger.
It is the truth...
that your dad loved you and raised you with care.
You can't change the past.
The past made you...
who you are today.
All right. Let's go.
All right.
But you are really bad at bowling.
That's strange.
- I used to be good. - It's Mr. Kiyama.
Mr. Kiyama.
Mr. Kiyama!
Enough.
Let's go.
I went to buy some apple pies a few days ago.
I heard some customers discussing about you.
Are you all right?
People find amusement in other people's suffering.
I was worried.
Thank you, Kusano.
I am fine.
However,
a man who put my mom through hell...
claimed to be my dad.
Of course, I won't believe him,
but it still bothers me.
We have been affected...
by our parents since forever.
We just have to ignore those people.
But...
I would like...
to meet my parents even if they were jerks.
I'm not saying...
that I miss them...
or yearn for them.
Even if they are jerks,
I only hope to confirm...
their existence and that they gave birth to me.
I want to confirm...
that I was not born in a rubbish dump.
It's way better than knowing nothing at all.
It's so cute.
I love apples.
I'll give it to you then.
Right, how is your new product going?
It's going smoothly thanks to you.
I was worse than an animal, but I've always wanted to apologize.
I lived in remorse...
for these 20 years.
Coming.
Hey.
I have to go by eight o'clock.
Got it.
Here.
Are you still doing the same job?
I see.
It can't be helped for the sake of living.
Just for what sake am I living for?
Tell me if you have problems.
I only get to know you because of the interview,
but I'd like to lend you a hand.
Is this the website for non-registered persons?
Yes.
So you share information like this.
Apple Pie.
It's a username.
Is it a girl?
Yes.
What kind of person is she?
She has a job,
a family...
and a dream.
She shines brightly.
Even though she is not registered,
I think she is different from us.
But...
I guess she has her share of misfortune too.
What is her dream?
She wants to study in Paris.
She works in a patisserie.
A patisserie?
Could it be...
Charlotte Patisserie?
How do you know?
(A DNA test is normally conducted by scraping the inner cheek...)
(with a swab to collect DNA from the tissue.)
Hello.
Rei?
Natsume has woken up.
The police is here right now to question him about the incident.
He testified that it was an accident.
Your mom will most probably be released by tomorrow.
Rei, are you doing okay by yourself?
I'm fine.
Thank you, Grandma.
Mom.
Rei.
I'm glad.
I'll get you some tea.
Thank you.
Mom.
For doing that sort of thing...
Sorry for scaring you.
There are things...
you have yet to tell me, right?
However,
I want to know everything.
Knowing everything...
won't bring you any happiness.
Even so, I want to know.
It concerns me.
You told me...
you would be stronger for my sake.
I believe in you.
I'll accept it no matter what.
Tell me the truth.
Mom.
That person...
What Ayukawa said...
- Is it true that I am his daughter? - How could you believe him?
It's impossible that you are his daughter.
Then why did he say that?
- Why did he... - Rei.
You are mine and your dad's child.
You...
looked exactly like your dad when you were born.
He was so happy that you looked like him.
Ayukawa may be just someone else to you.
But if we are connected by blood,
that fact will never change.
No matter how terrible he is,
he may be my biological dad.
There is only one dad...
that loved me and brought me up with care.
But...
if that person is indeed my biological dad...
If he was your dad,
then what?
I don't know.
But I want to know.
Mom.
This is my life.
I ran away from Ayukawa...
and I met your dad.
He was very nice.
I wanted...
to spend the rest of my life with him.
That's why...
when he proposed to me,
I felt really happy...
and blessed.
We planned to register our marriage.
But...
the divorce application that should have been handed in...
wasn't filed yet.
I was...
still Ayukawa's wife by law.
I wanted the divorce to be filed as soon as possible.
So I went...
to see Ayukawa.
At that time...
Stop!
I was...
raped by him.
Rei.
I didn't want to tell you such a thing.
Rei.
No.
No, I don't...
I don't want to be that man's child!
- Rei. - No!
Rei!
No.
- Rei. - No!
(DNA Test)
I...
I want...
to do a DNA test.
I want to know for sure...
that I am not his child.
He must be a stranger to me.
I think so too.
You just have to remember one thing.
Dad is your only dad!
But I can't go on living just clinging onto that thought!
I want...
to do a DNA test.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
All right.
Rei.
Good morning.
What is this?
I think Rei made them alone in the middle of the night.
What?
Tanizaki.
Mr. Hamada.
Yes?
Regarding the case...
where the mom stabbed her own dad,
are you aware that the daughter doesn't have a family registry?
No family registry?
I was told...
that the man who was there is her ex-husband.
Ex-husband?
But it has been classified as an accident.
It's closed.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
It's not your fault.
Grandpa.
Have you seen Yoko?
Yes.
I see.
Grandpa.
Yes?
Please give me...
Ayukawa's phone number.
I have talked to Mom.
(Ayukawa)
The number you have dialed is not available.
Please leave a message...
(Otaru General Hospital)
Mr. Ayukawa, please come in.
It is progressing.

(Stabbing)
I don't believe that you are my dad.
Once a reporter finishes an article, that's the end of it.
But the lives of those he writes about goes on.
That's not what I said.
I write according to my own belief.
Mao.
I tried.
Please help me, Mr. Kiyama.
Help.
Let's go Hokkaido together.
She knew nothing yet she spouted nonsense.
She didn't consider Rei's feelings at all.
Despite looking like this, I am actually quite strong.
Irresponsible good intentions can hurt people!
Then what is it that you are doing now?
Mom, shall we move?
I am here to bid you goodbye.
I have decided to leave this place.
