"His job is to protect Japanese citizens."
"He is also a man who has a hidden side..."
"...executing top secret duties."
Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Gaikoukan Kuroda Kosaku" "The Diplomat, Kuroda Kosaku."
"Kuroda, under pressure, is ordered to stop his investigation."
It's not possible for me to leave a traitor as they are.
I will investigate this case right to the finish as a detective.
"Rikako searches for Rui, who has disappeared."
"Along with her discovery of Rui..."
"...she also finds Kimishima Yutaro with her and he has a unexpected confession to make."
I didn't intend to kill him.
"Has the true target of Shimomura and his accomplices emerged at last?"
Their target is former Prime Minister Yatabe.
"The curtain for revenge opens at the meeting place for the diplomatic conference."
What's that?
A pistol?
Let's begin.
Please sit down.
Excuse me.
Can I check your ID card...
Take out the contents.
Hurry.
This is a plastic explosive.
If it goes off, half of this building will go with it.
Don't move!
You two.
Please go out and explain the situation.
If you act foolishly...
...not only the Vice Minister's life, but the entire building will be blown up.
We understand.
We'll tell them.
Anyone other than those from the press, leave the 2nd floor.
Run for it!
Kamoshita. Shut the doors.
Hurry.
Go over there!
Move it!
Hurry!
Hurry up! Move, move!
Please sit down.
Sit down!
Hurry it up!
From here on...
...we will hear an important talk from Yatabe-sensei.
I will ask that all of you listen to its contents...
...about a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Latin America.
Please check the manuscript, Yatabe-sensei.
Looks familiar, doesn't it?
"Precautions on the Importation of Atron to Japan"
What are you doing with confidential documents from the Ministry of Health?
You were Prime Minister at the time...
...this was sent to the Ministry of Health from the U.S. Department of Health.
It details Atron's risks.
Yet even so, Atron was allowed to be sold in Japan.
That is your seal on the document, is it not?
Answer me!
That's right.
It's just as you say.
Where's Yutaro?
He's in the operating room right now.
I'm sorry.
It was because Senpai has been worried about me all this time...
...that we were together.
And that's why...
Rui-chan.
Forceps.
Gauze.
Scissors.
Please don't die.
I wouldn't like it...
...if you were gone.
Saionji-san.
Secretary Yuki has shut himself inside the conference with a gun.
A gun?
Yes.
Where's Yatabe-sensei?
In the anteroom...
It's Shimomura Takeshi.
Kuroda-san.
Minister.
Please allow me to talk to Shimomura.
Kamoshita. Sit down.
They're late.
There's one more thing I want to tell you.
11 years ago...
...at that embassy protest incident...
...Shimomura Tomoyo was killed.
She was my wife!
What will you talk to him about?
Can you persuade this Shimomura?
Yes.
Minister. Since it is dangerous in here, please leave the building.
Minister.
She...
...wasn't shot dead by the guerrilla organization...
...but by the Special Forces.
Although her autopsy report was sent to Japan...
...no investigation was performed on who it was that killed her.
Wasn't that something you had ordered?!
What sort of thing is this?
That was never brought up to me...
Whatever happens...
...you may leave all of it to my responsibility.
This isn't an ordinary threat.
If you don't tell me the truth, I will kill you right here!
It's true! It's the truth!
Please.
Please don't kill me.
Very well.
However...
...this is to be strictly on your authority.
Please don't allow the police to step in...
...until after my talk with him is over.
Understood.
Let's go to the conference.
Those responsible for the administration of Japan's pharmaceuticals have gathered there.
You will read this document out loud to them.
Of course.
Very well.
Put this on.
This is Yatabe.
I'm going to the conference.
Those of you with the police, please clear out.
Thank you for waiting.
Yatabe-sensei is on his way.
Let's go.
Go.
Shimomura-san.
This is Kuroda.
Episode 9: "Revealed Tonight! The Entire Incident"
Please give me a little of your time.
Sorry, but I don't have any time.
Kimishima Yutaro-kun collapsed.
Without receiving needed medical treatment...
...he ran off with Rui-chan.
Go over there.
Is he okay?
He is currently in the hospital.
He...
...confessed to killing Professor Minato.
Shimomura-san.
This is not what you wanted to do.
Am I wrong?
We should request the MPD to dispatch their SAT.
Gauze.
Scissors.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I'm hungry, too.
We would get hungry about this time, wouldn't we?
I wonder what your mother and father...
...are having for dinner tonight?
My parents?
Must be nice.
They're always on such good terms with one another.
What's this out of the blue?
Ah, I'm sorry.
If I don't talk about something, it just feels strange.
I wonder what it is they're having?
I... hadn't thought about that.
I wondered from the start...
...just why it was you came to see me in San Francisco.
At the time...
...I was honestly puzzled by that.
Because I thought there was no reason for you to ever contact me again.
If it hadn't been for your call...
...I would never have come back to Japan.
So...
...to have met you again like that...
"No matter how much he struggles, a powerless man is a powerless man."
"That I've become like this..."
"Sorry about this, Kuroda."
Your intention may have been...
...to show me just how despairing you had become.
In order to disguise your suicide.
Still...
I don't think it was all an act.
Wait!
They're stalling us. At this rate...
This is the last time!
Let's trust Shimomura-san.
It's just as you say, Kuroda.
I knew you were in San Francisco...
...and for some reason I felt I just had to see you.
Even I didn't know the reason.
It may be...
...if it were you, I felt you might be able to understand what I was going through.
12 years ago...
...Brighton Pharmaceuticals built a clinical trials facility and...
...in the name of providing medical care support...
...gathered together all the local poor people.
As an experiment for their drugs.
What was developed then...
...and what would later bring painful side effects to many people...
...was Atron.
What does he mean?
During the manufacturing stage of Atron...
...it was contaminated by a virus.
That's what caused the side effects.
After resigning from the Foreign Ministry...
...you returned to your work as a doctor...
...and learned about the lawsuit in Japan against the harmful side effects.
"Harmful Side Effect Eradication Network Bulletin Hope"
And then you began contacting the victims.
Yamaji Takashi.
Sasaki Aiko.
Kimishima Yutaro.
They weren't able to join the lawsuit as plaintiffs...
...but you had learned of the existence of those who were in pain.
But...
Why was a drug like that brought to Japan?
The problem wasn't noticed until Atron was produced in mass quantities.
It couldn't just be pulled...
...let alone allow the public to find out about it.
The result was that a defective product was forced upon Japan.
The people involved in the approval of the drug...
...and who tried to conceal that it had harmful side effects...
...were Professor Minato...
...and Brighton-Japan's President, Yoshimura.
And...
...Yatabe, the former Prime Minister.
Since your objective was strictly to aid the victims...
...you just wanted to have the truth published.
"As someone who participated in the treatments, aren't you ashamed?!"
"Many people ended up as victims!"
"At the time, that was the essential dosage necessary for encephalitis..."
"...so it was just their bad luck!"
"I am not responsible!"
"Sirs! Sirs, could you please take this elsewhere?"
However...
...your plans went awry.
- "Give it back!" - "Stop it!"
- "Give it back to me! - "Let go!"
"Shimomura-san. I'm very sorry."
"I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry."
"I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry...
It'll be okay, Yutaro-kun.
"It'll be okay! Calm down, Yutaro-kun."
"I killed him."
"I couldn't forgive him..."
"...so I killed him."
Once it had become public that Yutaro-kun had killed Professor Minato...
...then a trial would no longer be possible.
Therefore...
...since you were not a direct victim of Atron...
...you made it seem as if it was you who had killed Professor Minato.
The one who helped you mask it...
...was the police inspector, Yamaji, wasn't it?
It was a lucky coincidence for you...
...that one of your accomplices was a member of the police.
When you flew over to San Francisco...
...there was someone there you could masquerade as.
Roberto Ishii.
He, too, was someone who had lost a family member to Atron.
However...
I don't think you killed Roberto.
Roberto had developed AIDS.
Please live.
Please live in my place.
I don't have much longer, anyhow.
I can't be of use to anyone anymore.
But Doctor, you're different, aren't you?
Please.
This is my final request.
Please.
Thank you.
Watching him as he died...
...I decided to resolve myself.
I will never return to Japan again, I thought.
But then, right afterwards, that trouble occurred.
Kashiwada had been at the scene and had witnessed Yutaro-kun...
...killing Professor Minato.
"Then, are you okay with it all being exposed?"
"What you did."
"You don't have to worry about it."
"Shimomura-san?"
At that time...
...seeing that Kashiwada had been killed...
...was the most startling thing to you, wasn't it?
That one of your accomplices...
...was a violent person, hoping to get revenge.
It was...
...the Secretary, Yuki Keiichi.
"It's open, so come in."
"All right."
"Huh?"
I wished for revenge!
That's why I killed Yoshimura with my own hands, too!
I told you!
I'm not who I was in the past!
You had been opposed to violence.
That is until...
...Tomoyo-san's autopsy report came in from the Secretary Yuki.
"Autopsy Report"
11 years ago...
...when Tomoyo-san first noticed the side effects in the children...
...she sent a letter of protest to Brighton Pharmaceuticals.
"Tomoyo-san said she had sought more clarification into the safety of..."
"...the drugs they were releasing for treatments."
For Brighton, when they were putting Atron up for sale...
...Tomoyo-san's existence became an eyesore for them.
That's why they took advantage of the embassy protest incident...
...to take her life.
"The bullet was a 9x19mm caliber bullet."
"At the time of being shot, the bullet passed through the right arm of a man."
They...
They didn't have to kill her!
And then that was when...
...you accepted taking a violent revenge.
Your first victim was...
...Brighton-Japan's President, Yoshimura.
"You're... Ah..."
Professor Minato's death...
...was a unforeseen accident.
Kashiwada's murder was done by the Secretary Yuki in order to silence him.
At that point...
...this case took a turn towards true murder.
I believe...
...this is all of the events of this case.
You should go.
You've been thinking about that all this time, haven't you?
Senpai's mother is here, too.
I'll be fine.
If you hadn't come to me just then...
...I don't know what would have become of me.
Being in your home...
...and eating meals there...
...was when I felt most at peace.
Even when we ran away, you were the one who found us, weren't you?
Please...
...save Papa this time.
And if you do meet him...
...tell him, "I'll be waiting for you."
Because I can't face Papa right now.
So go in my place.
The preparations are complete.
If you know that much, then don't interfere with us.
This is the end.
Get over there. Stand. Stand!
Kuroda. Out of the way!
You there. Please move aside.
Open it.
Aiko.
Don't make any foolish moves.
11 years ago...
I...
...wasn't able to save Tomoyo-san.
Whatever the reason was...
...she was shot.
Shimomura-san!
Please, have a seat.
From the moment I met you again in America...
...that day has been stuck in my head the entire time.
"Isn't the one he really wants to take revenge on..."
"...me"?
I even considered that.
But then...
...I remembered the time when...
...our desks once sat side by side.
How you were going to make international contributions in medical treatment.
That was all you would talk about then.
Back then...
...the you who knew the importance of life...
...why would he ever dye his hands in murder?
Though I understand your motives...
...I still can't believe this, even now.
Why, Shimomura-san?
Why...
...would you do this?
She wanted a divorce.
Tomoyo told me she wanted a divorce.
The day before the embassy protest incident.
I couldn't understand at all why she was suddenly telling me that.
So I desperately demanded the reason from her.
But she said I had done nothing wrong. That she loved me.
She just wouldn't tell me the reason.
I was still supposed to go on the business trip...
...and then...
...those protests and that incident occurred.
Kuroda.
When Tomoyo died...
...why did you have to be the first to come to her hospital room?
I guess at the time...
...I was still blaming you for it.
You had said you would protect her!
But there was something I just couldn't understand.
It was why had she suddenly suggested breaking up with me...
...and then died without ever telling me the reason.
Tomoyo didn't tell me any of the important things.
About Atron, either!
She...
...had realized very early that it was causing side effects in the children.
But she didn't discuss a bit of it with me.
She didn't tell me a thing, even though I'm a doctor.
Do you know why?!
Tomoyo-san had realized it, hadn't she?
That you...
...were the one sending those children to the facility.
"The report Shimomura-san wrote and left behind while he was over there back then."
You had...
"Medical Support in Developing Countries Brighton Pharmaceuticals Humanitarian Contributions"
"Brighton Pharmaceuticals New Drug 'Atron' is Recommended for Prescriptions."
...commended Brighton Pharmaceuticals multiple times in your report.
"First Secretary Shimomura Takeshi's Report"
There were no direct medical facilities at the scene.
After Brighton had opened its facilities and you heard they were going to treat children...
...I think you felt truly thankful to them.
So, you took those children to the facility and had them treated.
After that, the children...
...unexpectedly began losing their lives.
When I heard Tomoyo had seen the investigation report...
I...
...thought I understood why she had suddenly started asking for a divorce.
I thought she was deadly serious...
...about protesting against Brighton's drugs!
But if she did, she'd be fighting against me, who had been the source of that report.
That's why she told me she was thinking of breaking up with me.
Kuroda!
I am not a victim of Atron!
I'm the wrongdoer!
That's why I at least wanted to be of assistance to Japanese victims.
If someone doesn't make a move, then nothing will ever change!
If someone's life isn't sacrificed, how can we complain about an injustice!
To create a country like that was the reason both you and I...
...became diplomats, wasn't it?
Kuroda.
You and Tomoyo are great people.
You live on your beliefs.
All of my words are merely excuses.
But I don't mind that.
Because I'm sure I live...
...through my repeated excuses.
Moreover, I...
...had finally found something worth living for.
I had met the victims of Atron.
None of them could get anyone to stretch out their hand to help them.
Even if their lives were taken away, there wasn't anyone who was interested.
They were such pitiful people.
When I told them something could be done...
...even if it was just a little, I had given them strength.
Kuroda.
I don't regret it!
When this is finished...
...I have no intention of trying to escape.
Kuroda, back off! Kuroda!
Kuroda! Stay back! Kuroda! Stay back!
Whether it is for atonement...
...or whether it is for revenge...
...there is no defense for murder.
We aren't allowed to do that.
To make a country like that...
...isn't the reason we became diplomats!
Please surrender yourself.
The truth you wanted to be told...
...I will surely tell it!
You think you can do that?!
11 years ago, this country betrayed you, too!
Yet even so, you still believe in this country?!
It's a diplomat's job...
...to believe in their country.
Do you intend to leave Rui-chan and the others to a Japan...
...where things like this are permitted?
Please...
...don't allow any more lives to be taken.
Yatabe-sensei.
Could you announce to the public...
...the contents of what was just spoken about here?
Of course.
Did you hear that, Secretary Yuki?
It is all over now.
Let it be over.
Let's live and see it through, Kei-chan.
Kuroda...
Someone!
Get an ambulance!
- Kuro... - Don't talk!
The one...
Don't talk!
...behind it all...
Don't talk.
...isn't Yatabe.
Pl... please.
All right.
I will.
Rui...
Shimomura-san.
Please hang in there.
Rui-chan is waiting for you.
She said she would be waiting for you as long as it takes.
Shimomura-san?
You can't!
You can't do this!
Shimomura-san.
Shimomura-san!
Excuse me.
He'll be fine now.
There's no danger to his life.
Thank you very much!
Thank goodness.
Thank you.
There were no further articles left behind by the criminals.
The bomb was real.
So long.
Even if you hadn't killed them, they would have stopped.
It was the consequence of giving priority to rescuing the hostages.
Of the 3 terrorists, 2 were shot dead. The one remaining is in custody.
You promised you wouldn't interfere.
So why did you?
Why did you interfere like that?
Please tell me.
