All the mysteries are solved and the truth grasped.
Mother.
Why are you here?
This is my place.
This is Eiji's room.
Please, won't you die.
I'm sorry Shinichi.
It's all my fault.
From the start, please tell me, in detail, everything you know.
So I can understand.
My bag is just over there.
There's a note book inside it.
You'll find a picture inside it.
Take a look at it.
I will confess.
I'm a murderer.
I led an innocent girl to her death.
Yayoi-san? What's the matter?
I've come across something incredible.
What?
The Shinichi with the same name,
who's been on the TV a lot recently.
He might actually be Kawanosei.
I happened to meet his father.
Yayoi, where are you right now?
I'm still near the Institute.
In that case, don't move.
And don't tell anyone about this.
I want to discuss it further.
Discuss it?
At any rate, until I contact you again
stay put. Okay?
And now, I'm going to kill my beloved child.
I'm a sinful woman.
Mother.
Who is this... boy?
Mother. So this is...
Mother!
He's...
... your brother.
"Don't tell Shinichi."
"If he finds out, I'll divorce you."
Those were the conditions.
25 years earlier.
Todo Household.
A prenuptial agreement?
Todo-san is a prudent man.
He will pay you 70,000,000 yen in advance.
With that money, arrangements can be made for your child to adopted.
Hereafter, please regard your relationship with him as that of complete strangers.
But that's... If you don't accept this
the wedding will be canceled.
Well...
My... brother.
Good day.
Ah, it's good to finally meet you.
I'm standing in for Errand Boy.
Why, where is he?
He's missing. Why?
But it's fine.
I'm in charge of the money in the first place.
So there's no problem with your payment. Kawanosei-san.
Hey!
Ah, I'm sorry. It's Todo-san isn't it.
Todo Shinichi-san.
Well... I don't really care either way.
So... where's the rest of the money?
I'll pay.
Let's end this here.
Excuse me.
Is this yours? Yes.
Thank you very much.
Hello.
Hello. How did it go. Did you kill him?
What? Not yet?
In the end, that's how it is.
It doesn't matter which son it is, you just want to look good.
That's not it. It's not like that.
Well, whatever.
Bring him over there now.
To the place where, the person called my mother dropped me into despair.
Shinichi.
Do you remember your father's funeral.
It was summer wasn't it.
It was a really hot summer's day.
20 years earlier.
Shinichi?
Shinichi. You were out here?
You have to see your father off properly.
Let's go back.
Mother? Yes?
There's something I've always been worried about.
What?
Why did you marry father?
Ah...
What's this all of sudden?
I overheard my aunts talking.
They said you married him for money.
So now that father's died
they said, obviously you'll leave with the money.
Don't be silly.
Because your father was stupendously rich
lots of people were jealous.
Because of that, people said whatever they wanted.
But you mustn't be fooled by them.
You must trust in your own beliefs.
Can I believe in you?
Of course.
Okay then, let's go.
Lets go together
to pay our last respects to your father.
Mother. Yes?
Don't desert me.
Of course.
You are my only beloved son, Shinichi.
It's just the two of us now,
let's do our best together.
Yes.
Eiji-kun.
What's this? You seem very calm.
I expected you'd be way more upset.
This was all your doing?
That's right.
You hurt your own hand yourself?
That's right.
You bastard, show yourself!
I can shoot you where you stand.
But, perhaps I'll shoot him first.
Todo san Eiji-kun.
Stop it.
Please stop. It's nothing to do with him.
The pain of my hand was nothing
in comparison to the joy I got in deceiving you.
To what extent did you deceive me?
The fact I dropped by the bar
and the fact that you saved me,
it wasn't a co-incidence?
That's right. It was all part of my plan.
Maybe a slight slip in my calculations, was Saijo.
As Todo Shinichi's lawyer,
I'd asked him to take on the false charges against Kawanosei.
Afterwards, he continued to sniff around people concerned.
It was a nuisance.
It was you too, who called back the drones?
I wanted you to be caught red-handed for treason.
I thought it would be fun.
Your goal wasn't to isolate society?
You took everything from me,
you wanted me to feel true isolation.
Isn't that right?
Well, that was plan A.
We're here now, because you successfully escaped.
This is plan B.
Did you also set up the identify fraud?
Using Miss Erase,
you deleted all of Kawanosei's data?
And that Haruka happened to appear in front of me that time?
Also, that Saito came and attacked me suddenly,
it was all set up by you?
That's right.
... is what I'd like to say. But I'm only one person.
All of that would be impossible on my own, wouldn't it.
It was all set up by you?
That's right.
... is what I'd like to say. But I'm only one person.
All of that would be impossible on my own, wouldn't it.
People aren't as strong as you think Shinichi.
That's true of Osanai-san too.
There's something I'd like to discuss with you.
Discuss?
Can I make a proposition?
Your number,
does not belong to you. Hey.
If you're trying to get ahead, ultimately the only thing to do
is be patient and wait for the wind to change direction.
I've got an idea.
My boss, Termae-san
Todo-san? Yes.
I'm Termae. Nice to meet you.
Sorry for bothering you when you're busy.
I'm asking, why are you here with my mother?
I've high expectations.
I'm looking forward to seeing him go pale.
This way.
But, that it's come to this,
I might partly be to blame.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
This is all I can do.
What's funny?!
Even though you used your friend to get ahead,
now, you're trying to be his friend.
I gave up on getting ahead, a long time ago.
It's too early to come to that conclusion.
Here is a present for you.
All of the data on Shinichi's computer is on here.
With this, you'll cause unprecedented chaos in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
By exposing the gap in the security of the personal data
you'll be a hero.
What this? You don't want it?
What do you get out of giving this to me.
Of course there's nothing in it for me.
I just want to show my appreciation of you.
If you had, in the identify fraud case, accepted what Shinichi said,
and taken immediate steps to deal with it,
my plan wouldn't have worked.
But you didn't do that.
You thought you could use the information
to your own advantage in the faction disputes over personal numbers.
For the sake of your own greed you sacrificed your friendship with Shinichi Todo.
I don't think we'll meet again, so take care.
Your boss Tajima-san also, when I mentioned the embezzled money,
readily tampered with Miss Erase for me.
Deleting.
Deletion complete.
Given the right motive, people will easily betray.
Even friends and lovers.
Or even family.
I believe in them.
Even if they betray me. I believe in them.
Even though I'm explaining this so carefully,
still you won't understand?
Please, isn't this enough.
Even getting mother involved in all of this.
Let's go mother.
Shinichi-kun.
Who do you think betrayed you the most?
Do you remember when we talked about Christmas back at the bar?
What?
My mother used to be a nurse.
A nurse? Yes.
She was the head nurse, and was very serious about her work,
her sense of responsibility was stronger than anyone's.
That's why, on Christmas morning
I was always, always alone.
I'm sorry Shinichi, that yet again we can't be together this morning.
What!?
No way...
Correct!
Of course there's no way she'd have to work every Christmas morning.
In order to make the son she cast aside feel good,
she'd come every year bearing lots of gifts.
This woman lies bear-faced and betrays people.
If, for example, when Shinichi-kun's personal number arrived at the house
she was asked to secretly tell me, she'd not say no.
What?
Not only the number.
Even when I asked her to send a postcard with a picture
she didn't say no.
Rather, during the month you and I lived together
she took my place in using the voice changer.
And then there's also that.
Did you know?
She's tried to kill you before.
When you where a child, you were nearly in a traffic accident.
What?
You're kidding me! She saved me,
not once has she ever tried to kill me.
Is that really so? Try thinking back.
I remember what happen very well. Well then, who was it
that pushed you into the traffic? What?
It wasn't just some passerby.
She was there and she pushed you.
That's not possible.
But it's the truth nonetheless.
If you were still alive, it wouldn't be possible
for the Todo inheritance to come to me.
And so, that mother over there, she secretly tried to kill you
and make it look like an accident.
And then, after she pushed you, she suddenly got scared
and in a panic jumped out after you.
and ever since, she's been confined to a wheelchair.
It's a lie. There's no way it's a lie.
I heard it from her myself.
Do you want to check?
Hey, that's right isn't it?!
You should tell him yourself properly.
Take responsibility for the things you've done.
Right.
You've tried to kill Shinichi-kun before haven't you.
Stop it. Right!
Yes.
Please stop.
Shinichi-kun, you're the best.
Even though she tried to kill you still you're trying to protect her.
Even though you're envied and resented. Still you think you're their friend.
Even when you're made a fool of you think you're looked up to by your underlings.
As for me.
You said that I was like family and you trusted me most in the world.
Are you having fun?
Hey, is this really fun for you?
Shinichi-kun.
How do you think it is I know about this place?
On the day of your father's funeral
I was here too.
My only beloved son, is you Shinichi.
It's only the two of us now but,
let's do our best.
Yes!
I'd gone to meet my mother.
Since her new husband had died and she'd got the inheritance
there was no reason for her to stay at that house forever.
Was there anything wrong in expecting that
she'd return home to her son by blood.
Even so, I was surprised.
She said, "My only beloved son, is you Shinichi"
Tomoya.
Don't call me that!
I'm Eiji!
I threw away that other name.
Even though I'd come to terms with
the fact I was the one you cast aside that day.
You'd come to me at the drop of a hat, looking to rely on me.
Every single time we'd meet. She say this to me,
"Because I love you, I've made up my mind,
I want you to live an normal life so,
I've married a man I don't love."
Enough, stop.
Stop.
It's true.
I cast him aside for money,
but I love Tomoya.
But love doesn't pay the rent.
I didn't even have enough for food.
There's no way I could give him a good education.
I wanted him to have a good and proper life.
And so,
I remarried for money.
I didn't think that I would
come to love the child of this house.
I didn't foresee that there'd be
kind child like you.
Mother, you believe in me don't you.
I'll protect you in my father's place.
Thank you.
It's your fault.
It's because you were kind to me.
Because you truly thought of me as your mother.
So I...
Mother...
It's terrible reasoning isn't it.
There's absolutely no consistency in the reasoning at all.
Shinichi-kun,
before you knew it, thinking of him as your own son.
But because of your feelings of guilt towards me
you were unable to say no to me.
Just because you wanted to
dispel your resentment of me for taking away your mother.
You're doing all this, just because of that?
I've been constantly thinking of how to ruin you.
And so,
I thought that of all things, the one thing,
that can't be taken back, is murder.
Drowning in hatred and committing murder.
For you who's so upstanding and forthright, that's what you'd hate the most.
So how about it?
Won't you kill me here and now?
What?
Kill me and become a murderer.
What the hell are you saying.
I'm not kidding.
You'll do it. I won't.
From the start to the end, you were deceived by me.
You must be annoyed enough to kill me, right?
Even so, I won't kill.
It's not that easy.
If you won't kill me, then
I'll kill your precious mother.
Stop it! Stop!
If you'd just killed Shinichi in the first place. It wouldn't have come to this.
It's simple.
If you don't want your real son to be killed
then you kill Shinichi-kun.
I can kill you.
If you want to stop that then Shinichi has to kill me.
If you don't want that, then you kill Shinichi-kun.
It's like rock, paper scissors.
Enough... Stop this. Then it's I that will die.
Do you still not understand?
Is Shinichi-kun your son or am I?!
You can only choose one of us.
It's because you've been delaying things with your clumsy lies
that it's come to this.
Mother won't kill me and I won't kill you.
I won't go along with your wheedling ever again.
That's fine. Then this woman will die.
I said stop!
Let's finish this already.
By the time I've counted to five please decide.
5
4
3
2...
This is great Shinichi-kun. This is your chance to kill me.
I don't really know what's gone on between you and mother
But with Baba-san and Saori-chan, the four of us living together
wasn't there, for certain, friendship there.
You can't just sweep that away with words.
Didn't we truly bond with each other.
Those two are dead.
What?
It seems Baba-san went into the sea along with the car.
Saori-chan went off the top of a building, splat!
You're lying.
Lonely people are easy aren't they.
If you're just a little nice to them they'll even throw away their lives for you.
Bastard!
What about your university friends Haruka-san and Saito-san?
Those two were easy too.
I just needed to give them a little push and over the edge they went, just as planned.
Bastard...
What is it? I'm hateful aren't I?
Stab me!
Stab me I said! Stab me!
It's easy to turn to the dark side,
it's remaining true that's difficult.
It's easy to hate people,
it's forgiving that hard.
But everyone forgives someone,
lives together with someone.
I won't kill you.
I won't.
I'm the person who fooled you and destroyed you!
Whatever you say. I will not kill you.
Shit!
Ah... since it's turned out like this, it will have to be plan C.
I will have to kill you myself.
You won't kill me either.
I'm sorry to say, those pretty words won't get through to me.
I've absolutely no problem with killing.
Tomoya.
Mother.
Shinichi.
Erase everything, okay?
What?
Everything about me...
Er.... erase...
Mother.
Good work. You too.
Ah... How many deaths does this make?
What happened, Kuramoto Sanae-san?
I saw on the news that Shinichi's company was in big trouble.
I went to talk with Tajima-san about it.
Please die!
Then suddenly a thief charged in.
A thief?
Yes.
He hit Tajima-san over the head and killed him.
Itsuki-kun.
Are you okay?
Why?
When I thought things over, Tajima seemed to involved somehow,
so I was keeping a watch on his place.
Tajima-san?
He's dead.
Well I did hit him, full force, with a golf club.
Ah! I thought it would be here.
You thought so?
What?
In comparison to the size of scale of Miss Erase
the 200 million yen embezzled is peanuts.
So, with the exception of Todo-san, there are only two people
who could take the money and frame him.
Two people?
Tajima-san and myself.
So by a process of elimination, it must be Tajima-san right.
But I didn't have any proof.
So I thought I'd wait for a chance to sneak into the house
and that's when you turned up.
I got lucky.
Where are you going?
What? I'm making my getaway.
I'm a murderer now you know.
You mustn't. Let's tell the police?
It was self-defence after all. I don't want to.
I'm the one who brought the virus into the company and destroyed everything.
I'm no longer a person on the fast track with a place in the sun.
Next time, in a different world, I'll make it to the top.
Well then, I'll be off.
Wait.
What? Don't take the money.
It's importance evidence in proving Shinichi's innocence.
Am I going to have to kill you too?
Even just one is fine.
I want some proof of Shinichi's innocence.
Please.
I'm going to be unemployed from now on.
Do you realise how much that is to me...
Please.
The thief went to the cupboard and took a suitcase that was in there.
A roll of banknotes fell out.
It wasn't Shinichi who embezzled the money.
It was Tajima-san.
Shinichi wasn't the culprit.
Come on, let's get ahead.
And let's make lots of money.
We've only got one life after all.
Let's not worry about the details, and get results.
Do you mind if I ask you just one thing?
What's that?
Saijo-san, why is it
you got so involved in Shinichi Todo's case?
You're at the top of a large law firm.
You have enough money and prestige don't you?
The only moment when a person feels happy
is when there's a sense of accomplishment.
Being pitted against a competent adversary, and winning.
There's nothing in this world that beats that feeling.
That's what it's about isn't it.
Yes.
But, I'm not interested any longer.
Cut it out!
Who was it that was with you at the scene!
According to what the detective said,
they only found my mother's body at the scene.
Did Eiji escape?
No, that's not possible.
With that amount of blood loss, he couldn't have been saved.
For sure, like a stray cat
he went off somewhere, to die on his own.
But it's strange that,
on top of my mother's body
Eiji's shirt had been gently laid out.
Almost as if it were embracing her.
It's been a while since we talked like this.
Public Safety is taking over this case.
As a material witness, from tomorrow we will be having you talk plenty.
So for today, just once, you can go home and rest.
Go home?
You're not going to run off are you. Todo Shinichi.
Why now...?
I said Todo Shinichi.
That's your name isn't it.
Who are you?! I'm Todo Shinichi.
You're not the owner of this number.
Who are you!?
I'm Todo Shinichi.
No!!!!
Todo Shinichi
Shinichi!
Sanae.
All of a sudden, things returned to normal.
Sanae was there.
My child...
was in her stomach.
Was everything a dream?
Or is now the dream?
Shinichi...
Shinichi!
Shinichi! Shinichi!
Sanae.
I'll say it over and over.
Because you are most definitely Shinichi.
Two months later I visited the bar.
Shall we drink?
Yes.
That's right. I understand.
It wasn't all just a dream.
And what comes next, isn't a dream either.
The personal number system. The existence or not of that data
has the power to derail a person's life.
The crime of ignoring the gap in the security system, was great.
The resistance of the top brass is inevitable,
however for the sake of society, swift rebuilding is necessary.
It's showtime.
And so, we became a family.
The new life, and the life lost.
Going forward, accepting everything.
Right now, I'm the furthest away I could be
from being alone.
