1 million. 1 million.
1.5 million 1.5 million
2 million! 2 million.
2.1 million! 2.1 million.
2.5 million! 2.5 million.
Any advances? 2.5 million.
what the hell is this?
It's an auction.
for lives. lives?
Everything from his career history, human relations,
credit cards and bank accounts to his personal number.
What stupidity.
And here is the next exhibit.
Todo Shinichi, 32 years old, male.
IQ 180 science graduate from a national university.
Employment is as the lead software developer
in the listed public company L.E.D.
His lifetime estimated wages are 400 million and 90 thousand.
Hey, wait a minute...stop it.
1.2 million. 2 million.
2 million! Please stop it.
8 million. I...said to stop it.
Stop it!
15 million! Let go of me!
20 million! 20 million!
30 million! 30 million!
Ouch... 50!
70 million! 70.
100 million! Wait! stop!
100 million. 120 million. Stop, please stop!
Sold! Todo Shinichi for 120 million.
That's wrong, this is me. It's me!
Please stop. Stop!
Would you like soya sauce or a different sauce?
How do you like
your fried eggs?
That's right, it's already been 3 days
since I started staying at the bartenders apartment.
Who are you? I'm Todo Shinichi.
I've lost my name.
Your card is not working.
What? I've lost my money.
Ouch! I was chased out of my work place.
Shinichi, you've been fooled.
My fiancée has betrayed me.
Why aren't I good enough? Shinichi!
Haruka! Haruka!
Even at a time like this, you only think about yourself.
Todo, that bastard.
I'll kill him!
I... That's wrong.
I, Todo Shinichi, during my life...
At this time, my life in it's entirety,
has been hijacked by someone else.
I no longer have a place to call my own.
I didn't think I had anywhere.
Todo-San
What are you doing here?
Until I met him.
I'm digging in. I'm digging in.
Oh, Todo-San, you put salt on too,
Somehow that makes me happy.
My mother used to do it.
That's right, our parents have the biggest influence on what we eat.
Were your rolled eggs salty or sweet?
I wonder?
Have you forgotten how your mother's food tastes? She'll cry you know!
Do you not want to ask anything? What?
Today is the 3rd day you know.
Isn't it a pain for you?
Todo-San do you remember the first time you came to my bar?
At that time the bar had only been open about a month.
There were no more than 10 customers.
Everyone said they would come again but
in truth not many of them did.
Then I told you didn't I.
It's not 'I'll come again' but 'I've come back' that I'd like to hear.
It's rude isn't it, to the customer on their first visit.
But you really did come back the next day.
The next time you weren't alone, you'd brought someone with you.
Er...
Wasn't it Sanae-San, the cute girl you were with?
I was really happy at that time.
I was happy to the extend I cried.
Is that right? You looked the same as usual.
Is that right?
Yes.
Yum.
Well, I'm off to buy in new stocks,
please leave the key in the usual place.
You know...
What can I say to show my thanks to you.
What indeed, I'm not good at things like cohabitation however
it's fine with you, please stay here as long as you like.
OK, I'm off.
Have a good day.
This afternoon's lunchtime, variety feature is
victim of crime, Todo Shinichi-San.
We are going to talk about the truth of the police investigation's extortion of a confession.
The live appearance is straight after this.
What is it with this feeling?
Just 30 minutes ago,
Haruka's coffin was set alight in a blaze
leaving just ash.
Hollowly became ash.
For heaven's sake.
You're always so calm.
That's not it, I'm just in shock.
I'm really shaken.
I can't see that.
I'm not the type to show my feelings.
The truth is it's just someone else’s problem.
Both you and Todo are the guys who left for Tokyo,
people like me and Haruka who cling to our home town,
are in truth of no consequence to you.
Please hit me.
Hit me...hit me...
Hit me until I'm dead.
It hurts so much.
It feels like my head is going mad.
It hurts so much.
I was surprised,
that you especially came to Niigata.
It's because Haruka-San
felt like she was my own daughter.
But that something like this could happen,
I should have called and spoken to her more.
It seems that Saito is still a bit shaken up, I'm sorry.
It can't be helped.
Hey, Osanai-kun.
Yes.
There is somewhere I'd like to go.
Here is the apartment that Shinichi lodged at.
During our student days, this was the place we all gathered.
Me and Shinichi and Saito and Haruka.
We did our seminar work together and
huddled together and slept as we were.
Yayoi-San
I'm thirsty,
could you go and get me something to drink.
Yes, I understand. Thank you.
Todo's still here.
No, well that's... I know.
That's Todo but it's a different Todo Shinichi isn't it?
You knew then.
You know Osanai-kun.
It's time to tell the truth.
What?
The truth.
What truth, I don't understand at all.
For example, things like who it was
who it was who is trying to use Shinichi.
Haruka-San said it you know.
That she no longer knew whether she could believe you.
The reason is, immediately after telling you
about the 200 million yen it was leaked onto the net.
In addition, it appears that rumour has it the
boss at your company orchestrated the plan.
I wouldn't betray my friends.
Is that right...well I'm glad.
But I'm only a mother right?
Are you on my son's side,
or else are you really an enemy?
I just want to confirm precisely.
I'm on his side.
No...
I was on his side.
To be honest at the moment I'm unsure of my own feelings.
Please enjoy your time in Niigata.
Boss, that guy is appearing on TV again.
What? Todo Shinichi.
It was more like torture than an investigation.
They would kick the desk and shout abuse at me.
I won't watch or I'll feel sorry for the guy.
Boss, do you still believe that our Todo Shinichi
Is the real one?
Do I believe him or not believe him, I hate those kinds of conversations.
Why are you doing nothing, get on with your work.
Yes.
At this time, have you received an apology
from the police or the prosecutor for the suffering you encountered?
No, I Todo Shinichi have received absolutely no apology.
On the contrary, I am still waiting for the Koso appeal to be considered.
Koso appeal: initial appeal to a higher court.
From here, I'll hand over to my lawyer.
For the sake of our honour,
I wish to immediately bring to light the details of the investigation.
And finally Todo-San, can you say a few words about how you feel now.
Yes.
I, Todo Shinichi will keep fighting.
I'll keep fighting until the end.
OK, we've gone to commercial.
That's all for today for Todo-San and Saijo-San.
Thank you and good work, Good work.
Thank you ...Good work.
Good work.
That was close.
So it's you, doing rash things.
If my reaction was point 1 of a second slower you'd be dead.
If I wanted to catch you after
the live broadcast, then I had to lie in wait.
If you died you'd get absolutely nothing out of it.
That guy...I want to talk with him.
Let me talk to him.
In that case wouldn't it have been better to have done the normal thing and called.
Hurry up and get in the car, it's to conspicuous here.
Hey, hang on.
It's fine, it's fine, please just leave it to me.
I don't like the positions we are in.
If you hit me for behind, I'll fight back.
I've no plans to resort to violence.
That may be the case
but you and I can't help but be adversaries.
I'll say this clearly, I'm in a neutral position.
As you are both my clients.
But my contribution was paid to you before.
It's not true.
Do you even have the money to hire someone like him?
Someone hired him for you right?
That guy put money up for you
and paid for this lawyer Saijo too.
I recommend you say no comment to that question.
No comment. Excellent.
Is that all you want to talk about?
So for money you sold out your own life
in exchange for the life of Todo Shinichi.
In that case, how about if I buy it back from you.
Buy it back? You're motive is money isn't it?
I'll pay twice as much as the guys you
are working for now.
But you are someone without a working cash card or credit card.
When I get my name back I can use them.
As well as that, I inherited real estate from my father.
That's why Saijo sensei contracted to be my lawyer right?
This is an expensive way of doing things.
If it takes money to settle this, then that's fine.
I have a fiancee.
My child will be born soon.
Excuse me sensei,
could you leave the two of us for a while.
Sure, take your time.
500.
Actually no.
I'd like 4 million yen.
If you promise to give me 4 million yen, I'll introduce you to the contractor.
contractor?
The man in this worlds market.
If you are not pleased with your life you can sell it
and as long as you have the money, buy a better life.
What?
Here.
What! hurry up and take it.
You want to be your child's father right.
Here.
Your baby is growing well.
It's a good feeling isn't it.
Your due date is the 20th of January.
What about your husband? Will he be present for the birth?
Excuse me.
Well you told me before that he was busy with work.
Yes.
Um... Yes?
In connection to this, when can it be done?
Excuse me.
When is the last moment it can be done? I want to hear just in case.
Kuramoto-San?
I'm really sorry, it's fine after all.
Ouch. I'm sorry, are you OK?
My heel broke.
I'm really sorry.
I'll reimburse you for it. It's fine, you don't have too.
No, no, it happened because I wasn't looking where I was going when walking.
Well, could you help get me back to my house.
I can't go out with my shoe like this.
Of course. I'll call a taxi.
Oh Osanai-San I thought you were off on paid leave today.
Working is better, it is a good distraction.
What?
Has anything particular happened?
Particular...
A person called Todo-San called.
I left a memo of what he said.
Todo-sama Is 13 OK? I'll call again
I said I'd get you to call when you got back,
but he doesn't have a phone so it wasn't possible.
He's rare for a person these days.
If he calls again, would it be OK if you give him a message.
Yes.
'Haruka died that day at her place, her funeral's already passed.' That's all.
Do you have time to meet for tea? Haruka
I'm just leaving my pregnancy health check. Sanae
How was it? Haruka
I've some minor complaints but nothing to worry about. Sunae
You are welcome to complain to me. Haruka
It's rare to see you tidying up.
Saito?
Don't tell me, you've been sacked from your part-time work?
Welcome. Welcome.
Hey, hey... over here.
It's over here.
Sit down.
Did you know? If you tell a women 'over here'
she'll get good feelings for you.
Welcome, what would you like to drink?
He'd like a high-ball. No I...
Drink. I'll only get down to business after my companion has drunk.
A high-ball. Yes.
A high-ball.
Is here OK?
There aren't many places around here you can drink in at 5pm.
What's with that look.
Don't you want to drink a high-ball.
What?
Pretty words.
What?
To say your parents won't betray you is just pretty words.
You...go to that bar sometimes.
Slow...you are slow to remember.
Good evening, I'm Errand Boy.
I'm Errand Boy.
Thank you. You've remembered that too.
OK, let's drink to celebrate meeting again.
You, was it you that time on the phone?
That's why you're slow and also old fashioned.
In the way you are surprised is majorly old fashioned.
Stop messing with me. Well, I will mess with you.
I, in life do things the opposite way round.
When I'm sober I mess around, when I'm drunk I'll talk seriously.
If you want to do business with me, then drink or it won't work.
I'm going to hand you over to the police immediately.
That's why I told you I'm Errand Boy.
Do you not know what errand means?
Is the first messenger of a mission.
Did someone ask you to do this?
Excuse me, here is your high-ball.
There are various different jobs in this world.
Well, let's toast!
Dammit! Cheers.
OK, now talk, I want to hear about this job.
To soon! What?
It's to soon, it's no good yet.
You wouldn't get into my house with only one drink now, would you?
I've decided we need to go to two places before we talk about anything important.
Until then, as two blokes let's tell dirty jokes.
cheers.
Talking of that, when was the last time you had a women?
When?
Has he still not come back?
That's right.
What about the police?
I haven't been, somehow it could lead to more trouble.
A friend said that if I tell the police it might put Shinichi in a worse position.
I see.
But you know, no matter what the circumstances, shouldn't he get in touch at least once?
So far Shinicihi hasn't explained anything,
Without words too, he want's me to wait.
After all, wouldn't you have told shinichi-San everything.
I guess, You're right.
This is the 2nd place? We're dancing?
You're Baba-sama, We've been waiting for you.
Are you called Baba? Anything is fine for a name.
It's just a nickname, there is no meaning to it.
An alias. That's why
a real name or a fake name, I've no interest in it.
In the end it's the same thing.
Hey, we can't talk in a place like this.
The esteemed person is waiting for you up in the VIP room.
The esteemed person. That way.
What now.
What about Tokyo University? You got in That's amazing!
Tokyo university-kun Do you really do such a thing?
I tell you I did. I entered Tokyo University because
I wanted to make lots of money. That's amazing.
As expected, You're a genius Todo-San.
You're my inspiration. No no.
Itsuki.
You're slow.
What? You're slow.
Senpai as you didn't come quickly,
I've wasted time with these empty headed girls.
What the hell.
Get out. What?
You guys leave now. Seriously, I'm pissed off.
Bastard!
What's with this. Let's go.
What's the matter? Please sit down.
What?
Did you do this?
Note: He is speaking in a rude way.
What?
Did you do this?
What? Itsuki,
was it all your plan?
Japanese... Would it be OK if you spoke proper Japanese.
To call a person out and then to keep them waiting,
you've drank to much.
Called out? Me?
That bastard...
The night is long, don't leave yet.
Who are you?
The Itsuki that I know isn't this sort of guy.
No, instead I'm usually like this.
I'm no longer pretending.
There is no advantage to kissing up to an offender.
Did I do something to you?
You always collaborated with me on my project.
When reporting to personnel affairs,
I always gave you the highest praise.
I don't want to be spoken to in such a patronizing way
by a person who went to a national university in the country side.
What about Sanae... What?
What were you doing to Sanae?
It wasn't just me.
So what if she used to be my women.
What. What?
You didn't know?
When I heard you were getting married,
I thought you'd have spoken about it a least this much.
Ah it seems that women is a liar after all.
Well women are always liars.
I think it would be better,
If you really cooled yourself off about those kinds of things.
Oh that's right I found a secret bank account that seems
to have made using your name Todo-San.
What?
Then a women was seen withdrawing money using
that cash card on a security camera.
If it was Sanae then I'd laugh.
All that's needed to do, to open an account on the net,
is to take a copy of your licence whilst you were sleeping.
Senpai do you really know her.
Isn't the truth that you don't know anything.
You're Osanai-San aren't you?
Osanai Tamotsu-San?
Who are you? Oh, I'm glad,
It is you.
I am the lawyer Saijo.
I'm working as Todo Shinichi-San representative.
Which Todo would that be? Both of them.
Excuse me?
Let me escort you to your station, won't you come with me.
I think we'd make good friends.
No thank you.
I'm not in the mood for making friends at the moment.
I know about your illegal activities.
Todo Shinichi-San asked you to search illegally for personal information
and then you reported it back to him.
If this was found out, it would be inexcusable wouldn't it.
Did Shinichi tell you this?
Well I wonder, but if we became friends,
I think this kind of exchange of information would occur more smoothly.
Let's go for a little drive.
You won't get an answer.
Saito.
Dead people can't answer.
Saito.
You're clever aren't you?
Clever enough that if it wasn't for your having the flu
on the day of the university admissions test, it's said you'd have got into Tokyo University.
Then why is it you can't understand such a simple thing.
What are you saying?
Why are you here at Sanae's apartment?
You didn't see the message exchange with Haruka.
What?
I wondered what that was...
Why was Haruka in contact with Sanae...
But no more answers to my questions will come.
As dead people can't answer anything can they.
No way...no way... It's a lie isn't it.
No way Haruka is...
Don't you...
say that name.
Saito.
Don't say it.
Saito.
Stop Sai...
Sai...
Saito.
Saito...
Saito.
Saito...
Saito? Saito...
Saito.
Saito...
Shinichi?
Sanae.
Ah...well
This was...an accident.
An accident.
A murder? There is blood.
Someone call the police.
There is blood.
Stop.
You can go.
You're Kuramoto Sanae-San right?
You were a witness at the scene of the crime?
Was the criminal someone you know?
Well, it's a shock isn't it.
I too know this kind of work but
all the same, I wasn't a witness at the moment of the murder.
Who was the person who was killed?
What?
Who was killed?
There was a licence in his wallet.
He was called Saito Hiroshi-San.
From our enquires, he was from Niigata.
From when he left Niigata university until now
he was working part time an the private law school, study and research centre. He was 32.
Is he someone you know?
No. Is that so.
But you saw who the killer was didn't you.
In truth the man next door,
we have already heard the story from him.
He has testified that the culprit looked like a guy that
would come to stay at your house sometimes.
Who is it?
Who is the person that stabbed Saito-San with a knife?
Shinichi...
The man who, to me, is called Todo Shinichi.
Go and instruct for emergency deployment.
But...
I didn't actually see him stab him.
Besides, he said that was wrong, it was different,
It was just an accident.
Do you believe that?
What are you doing Todo-San, with the lights off.
You saw the shirt didn't you?
It's OK for you to call the police.
Well, why did you run to this house?
I don't know...
It's true.
I don't understand anything.
Please put on my shirt, we are the same size aren't we.
Together we will throw that shirt away
in the burnable trash tomorrow.
Why, you've not heard anything.
I am...
a killer.
I killed someone.
With this hands...
I killed my best friend.
I told you, at the bar
I have the ability to see people clearly.
Todo-San is not a person who could kill someone.
If something happened, it would have been a accident.
That or self defence, am I wrong?
No one will believe something like that.
I just wanted Sanae to believe me.
I believe you.
Even if the police don't believe you,
or your fiancée doesn't believe you.
I believe you Todo-San.
Why me...
I'm the same as you Todo-San.
I don't have a personal number.
That's why, legally speaking,
I too, am a person that doesn't exist in this society.
