Turn left.
Stop.
Enter.
Stop.
Sit.
Please rise.
The court will now pronounce the sentence and asks the accused to stand up.
Before reading aloud the formal judgement,
the court would like to convey a summary of reasons therefor.
Born from a young mother with no preparedness,
exposed to excessive violence from your foster father during childhood,
cases of robbery resulting in bodily injury during junior high school...
It is customary for the sentence to be announced by the formal judgement.
With what was mentioned earlier as the reasons for the verdict,
it is likely that the judgement will be...
Formal judgement: The accused is hereby sentenced to death.
We wish for the accused to attain an eternal peace of mind.
I'm deeply sorry...
About what?
I'm deeply sorry for being born.
What are you smiling for?
Murderer...
Forward.
- What are you smiling for!? - Please calm down.
- Let's stay calm. - Stop.
Hey! Yukino!
- Yukino! - Forward.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, Yukino-chan...
- I'm sorry... - Excuse me.
It's not what you think.
I'm not with the press or related to the bereaved family
or anything like that. I'm just...
I'm just... really interested in this trial.
Is it fun?
Seeing...
...a person being sentenced to death...
Is it fun?
Say!
She...
She smiled at you, didn't she?
Tanaka Yukino, as soon as she saw you...
As expected, the Plastic Surgery Cinderella
who caused anxiety all over the country, was sentenced to death.
It is the first time since the lay judge reforms (2005)
for a woman to receive the death sentence.

It's that woman.
You hear me? That woman was outside.
( Caller: Keisuke )
Hey, Mika?
Hey, what's going on?
Hey! Hey, Mika? Hello?
Hey, Mika! Mika!
Tanaka-san!
It's the Kanagawa Police. Open the door!
Tanaka-san!
- Tanaka-san! - Contact the station.
Can you hear me?
Dispatch, this is South Nakahara, over.
- Tanaka-san! - We need an ambulance quick.
Tanaka-san, Tanaka-san.
The police would like to talk to you.
Go ahead.
We're with the Kanagawa Police.
Tanaka Yukino.
You do know what you've done, right?
A mother and her two children are dead.
Someone saw you at the scene.
A mother?
Inoue Mika. But you already knew that, right?
Dead?
It was you, right?
The one who set fire to Inoue-san's house.
Where did you throw it away?
The bag with the kerosene.
Someone saw you carrying it when you fled the scene.
Where did you throw it away?
The Onda River.
The police have arrested Tanaka Yukino (32),
a waitress living in Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa
under the suspicion of murder and arson.
It appears that Tanaka Yukino
has been persistently stalking a man
she used to be in a relationship with and...
Her mother was 17 years old and unmarried,
- Mother gives birth to Tanaka Yukino while unmarried - Mother marries, Tanaka Yukino gets a younger stepsister - Stepfather was already married before - Mother dies, stepfather becomes her foster father - Foster father becomes violent - Grandmother takes custody of Tanaka Yukino (8 years old)
when she gave birth to Tanaka Yukino.
When she was in elementary, she got abused by her foster father...
By not being raised in a blessed environment
and not receiving much love during her childhood...
At the night of the incident, Tanaka Yukino
was seen looking at the apartment of Inoue-san.
I saw that woman nearby that vicinity.
To go as far and getting the children involved...
Give me a break.
I already told everything to the police.
Excuse me, just one more...
She received plastic surgery just before the crime.
I wonder whether she did that in order to escape from the authorities.
Take a look at her eyes. It's a huge difference.
- Shall we grab a bite? - Sounds good.
- The same place as usual? - Yeah.
You're not coming?
You didn't go to bed?
Mom?
Mom, I'm home!
Shin-chan, welcome home.
Get up. You need to sleep.
TV: Tanaka Yukino was seen by this woman.
I saw that woman nearby that vicinity.
To go as far and getting the children involved...
Shin-chan, have you eaten?
Yes.
- Can you walk? - Yes.
( elementary school yearbook )
Excuse me... I... Sorry for the sudden phone call.
( telephone network )
I'm looking for a person.
Excuse me. My name is Sasaki.
I'm looking for a person called Noda Yoko.
She was one class above me.
Yes, my...
( Noda Family Grave )
It's sparkling.
Yes...
It is.
Mom doesn't have any siblings?
I did. Your mom also had a younger sister.
She died, however.
When your mom was 9 years old.
So, mom's younger sister is also in here?
Woah, what's this?
An offering.
I want this one.
You can't have this one.
I'm taking it! It's coming home with us!
Shin-chan! Sho-kun! I'm sorry I'm late.
- You're late Yoko-chan. - Sorry.
Huh? Where's Yukino-chan?
It's her illness again, it forced her to stay in bed.
She must have been too excited since it's her birthday.
But it's okay.
Yukino said to watch for shooting stars without her.
Seems like we'll have no problem seeing it today.
Right?
But... I feel bad for Yukino-chan.
Us four are the hill exploration party.
Yukino.
- Are you okay? - Are you hurting?
Mom and dad can't find out about this, so be quiet.
What's going on?
But you just saw it, right?
- I did, I did. - I'm sure nobody else saw it.
Listen, let's be like this.
If anyone of us feels sad, the rest of us will come to the rescue.
It's our promise as the hill exploration party.
Yes, I like that.
- Let's do that. - Yeah, let's do that.
( "Happy Birthday Yukino-chan" )
- We also saw a shooting star. - You saw a shooting star?
It was a big one.
For you.
- Anyone want my strawberry? - Me!
Me!
Delicious.
Yukino, ta-da!
Your present.
Here, happy birthday.
Thanks.
- A plushie, a plushie! - Hey, I wanna touch it.
Me too, me too!
- So cute. - You guys seem to have fun.
- Am I the only one being left out? - Good evening.
- Good evening.
Yukino, happy birthday.
Which reminds me, how were the stars today?
- Did you see a lot of shooting stars? - Yes.
Hey, sis. Let's live until we're 100.
And see plenty of stars.
- Yoko, your phone. - Ah, thanks.
Sure.
Ah, it's my cousin from Yokohama.
I see.
You're not picking up?
Did something happen?
No, not really.
Why?
- I'll try calling her back. - Okay.
Okay.
Hello? You just called?
The thing is, there is someone who wants to know your contact address.
The press?
No, not them.
He said you were friends.
An old childhood friend, someone called Sasaki.
He said you'll know if I tell you it's "Shin-chan."
Are you Shinichi-kun?
Yes...
I-It's... a-alright.
We're the only ones here.
Hello, it's been... a while.
It has.
You're kinda different?
That's, well...
We were only children back then after all.
About Yukino-chan... Did the police contact you?
I cut all ties with her a long time ago.
I see...
- What they're saying about Yukino-chan on TV... - Welcome.
- Orange juice. - Just a moment.
Did you see it?
About her being a stalker, plastic surgery... They just say whatever they like.
Yeah, lots of them are lies.
I can't believe this.
Yukino-chan wasn't that kind of girl.
The press, the police, they don't know anything.
I... don't think... she did it.
Is there nothing we can do to save her?
I mean, we know what kind of girl she really is.
- So... - But she confessed...
Maybe you, as her family,
might be able to get in contact with her...
As far as I'm concerned, my sister is already dead.
It's what I told my husband, that my sister died a long time ago.
- Why? - To be honest, it's driving me mad.
She disappeared from my life
and yet she's suddenly on the news every single day...
For people to find out... I'm scared.
For people to find out that it was my sister who killed three people by burning them to death...
I'm scared.
But if nobody takes her side...
I can't.
The family we had back then, it was already broken a long time ago.
Since the day that person came.
Coming!
You must be Yoko-chan?
- Yes... - I could tell right away.
You do look like Hikaru.
Is your mom at home?
And... may I ask who are you?
Just tell her that Hikaru's mom is here.
Okay...
Tell her to leave.
You want me to tell her to leave?
That's a nice house you got here.
Mom!
- Mom! - Mom!
You're still having those seizures.
I'll come visit again.
See you, Yukino-chan!
- You checked? - I'm not.
Only at night.
Good morning.
To think she was a hostess, huh?
Right? I had no idea.
Hey guys, wanna do our homework together?
Let's go over there.
Let's play on the swing.
- Sis... - What's wrong Yukino?
- What's gosai? - Gosai?
( "second wife", here meant in an insulting way )
Did something happen?
Everyone called me a tsureko of a gosai at school...
( child brought by a second spouse )
"It's okay, chin up!"
"I'm going to protect you."
Okay?
Yukino.
Sho-kun!
Do you know something?
What's a gosai?
Why are they calling her a tsureko?
Tell us, Sho-kun!
Just endure it!
Yoko and Yukino's mom is a good person!
Those rumors will be gone soon.
So just endure it!
But the rumors kept on spreading even further...
And then, the accident happened.
Because of her seizures,
mom promised not to drive the car unless it's with dad.
And yet, that day, for some reason she...
I barely remember anything from after my mom's funeral service.
Too many things happened too fast...
Dad.
Don't cry.
Yuki will always be by your side.
Yukino!
You're the least thing I need right now!
Dad!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry... I'm...
Sis, forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Yukino?
Yukino!
And then that person...
Yukino's grandma came storming in.
"I know you're abusing her. I'll take custody of Yukino no matter what."
If she's her actual grandma, isn't it only natural for her to care...
The only thing that person cares about are the child-support payments.
That's better than being abused.
If anyone abused her, it was that woman...
Don't you read any weekly tabloids?
Sexual Abuse by her Grandmother's Lover
New truth about Tanaka Yukino's past discovered! Her grandmother also was an evil woman!
Mom got abused as a child,
Sexual Abuse by her Grandmother's Lover
New truth about Tanaka Yukino's past discovered! Her grandmother also was an evil woman!
ran away from home when she was a teenager
and had been running away from that person all her life.
I don't even want to imagine
what Yukino had to go through.
But...
It's true that your old man hit Yukino-chan, right?
You wouldn't know.
You don't know anything!
He always regretted it!
About hitting her once, about having to let go of Yukino...
Until the moment he passed away.
"Yukino, Hikaru, I'm sorry."
Those were his last words.
Say, Yukino-chan, what's with the bruise here?
Who did this to you?
It's nothing, she only fell down the stairs.
- That's a lie! That can't be true! - He's right!
It's no lie.
Tell us who did this to you!
- It was your old man, right? - No.
- Our father would never do that. - I know it must have been him!
It's the truth!
I only fell down the stairs.
That wouldn't leave such a bruise!
I'm telling you, that's what happened.
I told them.
Back then...
That Yukino-chan got hit by her father.
I told my mother.
It couldn't be helped. We were only children.
I... because I couldn't keep my mouth shut...
Yukino! Yukino, come!
Come.
Yukino!
You're the only one I have left now.
Yukino, I need you.
I'm on your side!
I'll always be there for you!
Shin-chan...
I appreciate you worrying about Yukino,
but her life... It's the life she picked out for herself.
It's not necessary for you to blame yourself.
No... No! No...
I have to...
I have to do something or else...
Why?
You haven't seen her in decades. Why are you caring so much?
That's...
If I keep going like this and do nothing for her...
I probably won't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.
It's too late now.
Yukino can't be saved by anyone anymore.
Rento! Isn't it time for you to take your bath?
Let's live until we're 100.
Mom?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
( It's me, Yuko. ) ( I'm sorry about earlier. )
( Thank you for being on Yukino's side. )
- Do you have a moment? - Sure, what is it?
There's something I kept from you for all this time...
It's about my sister.
It's a bit of a long story. Will you be okay?
This prison houses many prisoners at bar
as well as convicted criminals waiting to be transferred.
As for what is asked of us prison guards,
"Don't let them get away." "Don't let them commit suicide." "Prevent them from destroying evidence."
Those are the big three tasks.
After you complete your training,
you will get to work at your assigned wards, but... - Stop.
Tanaka Yukino has finished her exercise.
Turn left. Move forward.
Stop.
Nothing to report.
Turn left. Move forward.
Stop.
You probably already know this, but we're also housing inmates sentenced to death.
- She... - Enter.
Unlike other convicts,
she won't leave this place until the execution of her sentence.
For those who are sentenced to death, it's our job to make sure
to keep their mind and body sound until the execution of their sentence.
Good grief.
E-Excuse me, sir.
I'm... I'm... My name is Sasaki.
About Tanaka Yukino...
Excuse me, you're Kusabe-san, right? The owner of this apartment.
I've nothing to say.
Still, as one of her friends...
Leave!
I'll call the police!
I told everything to the police.
I know, but...
Please leave.
On the night of the incident, was it really her you saw?
Could it have been a mistake?
It's a dark walkway late at night, so it must be difficult to make out someone's face.
The police told me not to say anything unnecessary.
Please never come here again.
Shin-chan, I'm sorry.
It's fine, I'll do it.
Ah, sorry.
I told you, I'll do it...
I'm sorry.
Leave it alone already, will you!
What's with that face?
I'm sorry.
Shin-chan, it's your phone.
Come on.
Yes?
Shin-chan?
Excuse me.
Is this the number of Sasaki Shinichi?
I'm sorry for the sudden call, I'm...
...Sho-chan? Are you perhaps, Sho-chan?
I'm surprised.
Well, I mean...
You're the only one who calls me Shin-chan.
Shin-chan?
H-Hello...
- You're a lawyer? - That's right.
I decided to go overseas for a little while after getting my qualifications.
I saw the news about Yukino-chan on the Internet in India.
...that's kinda awesome.
You said it when we were children, that you want to become a lawyer or doctor.
I guess there actually are people who become what they want to become.
I learned the ropes at my dad's office.
What about you? What are you doing?
I'm, well...
- Just an ordinary office worker. - I see.
It's nothing as praiseworthy as your job.
Don't say that.
I was really surprised when I called Yoko-chan
and she told me that Shin-chan already approached her.
You sure haven't changed, I thought.
A strong sense of justice, worrying about his friends, just like in the old days.
Did you come back for Yukino-chan?
Well, I was thinking about returning to Japan anyway,
but I guess you could say I did return for her sake.
But... her death penalty was already decided...
There's still a way to appeal for retrial.
Her confession might have been coerced.
If that's the case, there might be additional evidence as well.
Really?
The prosecution won't submit any evidence that would influence the trial in a bad way.
I think there are still many conflicting parts.
My dad told me that.
Some lawyers never get the chance
to stake their lives on a single case.
You'll lend me your strength, right?
She can be saved, right?
There are still plenty of things we can do.
What was it again? "Hill Exploration Party"?
That's it.
"If anyone of us feels sad, the rest of us will come to the rescue."
Right?
That brings back memories. That's right, that's right.
I got away.
