Hasumi Kyoko made a comeback as a lawyer after 16 years.
There's a transfer record from Tomioka Seikou in your bank account.
Her life was dropped into the pits when her husband, the former head of
Special Investigation Department, was arrested for bribery and had an adultery scandal.
Your boss now is me— Wakisaka.
It's decided that only one of us will be employed.
I worked under your husband for 3 years, and then I was fired.
You shouldn't trust your husband too much.
The train derailment accident occurred
3 months ago, on 22th August, at 1.35 am.
A freight train derailed without going around the curve.
No victims were caught up in this accident, but
unfortunately, the driver, Iguchi Tatsuo-san, passed away.
Hasumi Kyoko
Lawyer
Are you going to continue? This forced speech.
Kawai Emi
Lawyer
I wanted to share this tragedy
Tada Masahiro
Lawyer
with everyone once again.
Did you forget the inspection result by Accident Investigation Committee?
There were no brake marks.
In other words, this accident was caused by the driver dozing off.
We should be suing you instead.
- The reason he dozed off is... - In the first place, the cause is overwork.
Iguchi-san was so tired that he dozed off.
Asahi Kotaro
Lawyer
You know that Iguchi-san recorded down his working hours
in this notebook when he was alive, right?
From this year, he clocked 85 hours of average overtime work per month.
This is obvious overwork!
Yes, I've certainly seen that.
The notebook that suddenly appeared after
the industrial accident compensation was paid out.
As if it's telling the company to pay more.
May I have a moment?
Ah, now's the period when I can only eat bit by bit.
There she goes.
Iguchi-san's roster and payroll book.
According to these official records,
his average overtime work was 44 hours per month for the recent half year.
It's unreasonable to insist that he overworked.
Wasn't he made to do unpaid overtime?
Impossible.
Anzai Hiroshi
Tojin Railway, Labour Director
We conduct thorough instruction on overtime work...
Hey, that's rude. Switch it off.
Sorry, it's from a journalist friend.
Has the press gotten wind of this? They really jump at such accidents.
It's all right. They're just acting.
Ogawa-san, Iguchi-san's wife consulted you about his overwork
several times before the accident, didn't she?
Ogawa Shoko
Tojin Railway, Labour Officer-in-Charge
No, I don't recall.
- Did you not report to the higher-ups? - I don't recall.
- You didn't suggest improvements either? - I don't recall.
- Where do you live? - I don't recall...
Sorry, I wanted to know whether Ogawa-san
takes the Tojin Railway herself so I asked.
In other words, your company ignored the request for improvement to pursue profits...
Ah!
This conversation is so shocking that it surprised my child.
In any case, our client, Iguchi-san's wife is
seeking compensation of 100 million yen from Tojin Railway.
- Half a million. - What?
Not compensation, but consolation money.
No, 100 million to half a million...
Shall we see you in court then?
If that happens,
we will also file a suit for damages to our train carriage.
Everyone, please help yourself.
There's protein, calcium,
iron, vitamins E and B1.
Well, let's go back~
We treat the huge scandal of
Wakisaka Hiromichi
Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Special Investigation Department Head
an incumbent prosecutor arrested for
accepting bribes very seriously.
Well, regarding this matter,
Sasaki Tatsuya
Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Special Investigation Department
we intend to thoroughly pursue it
and drive out all the corruption.
- I see. - Wakisaka-san.
Please look here. This way please.
He's in his heyday, that Wakisaka.
Hasumi Soichiro
Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Special Investigation Department former head
Well, I don't blame him.
He was overtaken by you, his junior.
The head of Special Investigation is a post that he once missed getting.
I will let him fully enjoy it for now.
Hayashi Mikio
Soichiro's lawyer
So, Hayashi-sensei.
How's the matter that I requested?
I've arranged as instructed.
#3 Hidden Trap
Madoka Michiru
Paralegal
Amazing. Did you read all these?
Right? Please praise me more.
Found anything? From Iguchi-san's roster.
No, like what the other party said,
his overtime work was 44.5 hours per month.
It fits too neatly that it seems unnatural instead.
I bet that was the company's instruction to fit overtime work within 45 hours.
But this train carriage looks old. How is Tojin Railway's financial condition?
Not bad. It was in a slump for a period, but
made a V-shaped recovery in the recent few years.
- This is delicious! - Don't go and like it.
The food is innocent.
Um... I've been wondering.
What do you think this "OR" means?
OR?
- Or. - Ah! I'm sorry.
Um, you can't do this. I'll take a message for you.
I don't have time to wait. I'll be late for maternity yoga.
Hey, hide, hide. Hide this.
Thank you for the other day.
What's the matter, Kawai-sensei? Do you feel like paying 100 million?
I came here to advise you as a peer.
Do you know that 3 days before the accident, a general checkup was
- conducted at Tojin Railway? - General checkup?
It's an annual drug test that the company
performs on the crew without notice.
The result of that test is out.
[Amphetamine detected]
Amphetamine...
Iguchi-san could have been using illegal drugs.
This is always here.
A new one, every time we come.
Is it from his child?
This, this.
No way. He never did drugs!
Iguchi Haruno
Client
In the event of an accident, if we check the inquest report,
we can find out the result at once so please wait a little longer.
But my husband really never did drugs...
The components of other medicines could have been detected.
Just in case, may I borrow all the medicines in your house?
Herbal medicines and supplements too.
I understand.
Be quiet for a bit.
I think my husband recorded down his working hours in a notebook
because he thought that he had to do something about it someday.
He said that all the drivers were tired.
He must have thought that
the long hours of work would become a disaster at this rate.
I should have told him to quit the company earlier.
His only ally was his family, and yet...
Mom, Mom.
She suddenly came with so much luggage.
Hasumi Ayaka
Kyoko's daughter
Kyoko's son
Hasumi Hayato
She definitely intends to stay over.
You see, I thought that I should come and help for a while.
- What? - Kyoko-san, you're having a tough time, right?
With work and family.
Mother-in-law, you really don't have to worry.
I appreciate your kindness.
Hasumi Sachie
Soichiro's mother
You're right.
Sorry.
My husband is dead.
I'm in that big and empty house
every day by myself, you know?
Even if I go out to the garden, not a single cat will come.
I'm always alone so I started to think about various things.
Um... you really don't have to help us.
But if you'd like, please visit us occasionally.
Really? Then, maybe I'll do that.
I'll make some tea.
Kyoko-san, I'm really sorry.
I've thought about it calmly too,
but I won't tell you to forgive Soichiro.
Kyoko-san, please just think of yourself, Hayato and Ayaka.
If you still can't believe me...
There's nothing I can do.
Oh, but may I ask you for a favour?
I brought the items that your mother asked me to.
Sorry, I will tell her to come herself next time.
Mother-in-law doesn't want to see you like this.
I'm an unfilial son and a terrible husband.
Sorry for the other day.
Mother-in-law told me to only think of myself and the children.
- That's fine. - No.
I could have been like that from the start.
You might be suffering here or
you're being so cornered that you got so angry...
I knew that in my head, but in reality, I didn't think about it.
Of course.
Are the children okay?
Yeah, Ayaka said that she made new friends at cram school.
Hayato isn't good at mathematics as usual.
Do you remember the matter about Hayato's bicycle?
What?
When Hayato first rode a bicycle,
he was really bad no matter how much he practised.
He fell down many times and cried a lot.
Yeah, that happened.
But then I checked and found that it wasn't Hayato's fault,
but the bicycle was broken.
The basis was different.
When things aren't going well,
can you tell him to review his study method?
Got it.
- What? - Nothing.
It's been a while since I saw you smiling.
Then, I'll go back to work.
Do your best.
Yeah, thanks.
Yes?
The test for the medicine components is out.
This supplement in his house had a component similar to ampethamine.
- That's the one which reacted in the test? - Probably.
No illegal drugs were detected in the inquest report.
He didn't do drugs.
But this is strange. We can find out at once if we look into this so
why did Kawai-sensei come all the way to tell us?
Since it's her, there must be some hidden reason.
- Actually... - Yes.
The client appointed you for this case.
I was appointed?
She consulted a lawyer somewhere and was referred here.
She said she heard about you.
That you were a housewife for 16 years, but
you returned to work for your children and were doing well.
She said that gave her courage.
I see.
Excuse me, do you have a moment?
I looked into whether Tojin Railway had similar accidents in the past few years.
Similar accidents?
If there was constant overwork, there could be other accidents caused by it.
Ah.
- Were there? - No.
- No? - But there were overruns.
- Three incidents since this year. - Overrun...
Yes, going past the determined stop position.
That might have been caused by overwork too.
But how did you know? They are not obliged to report it to MLIT*.
(*Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism)
Huge incidents become online news and can be found on social media too.
Something like this? Passengers who were actually in the train
wrote about it on the spot.
That's it. We get along well.
- Please look at this. - What?
The same dates.
Doesn't "OR" refer to overrun?
Endo, Kobayashi, Kitahara are drivers,
and these are records of overruns by these 3 people.
- It's possible. - I will talk to these 3 people.
If they can testify that the overruns were caused by overwork...
We can prove that overwork existed.
If that happens, we can get that compensation of 100 million yen.
- Endo-san. - Yes.
Even if you ask me about
Endo Hideaki
Tojin Railway, Driver
the cause of the overrun...
Were you tired or did you doze off and brake late?
Not really. It was an ordinary mistake.
Do you think the long work hours could be
related to usual fatigue and overruns?
Kobayashi Akihiro
Tojin Railway, Driver
No.
Then, can you tell us about
the working conditions back then?
I'm not obliged to answer.
Wait, Kobayashi-san...
Ah... They've been forbidden to speak by that lawyer.
Ah!
Everyone, help yourself!! You can get plenty of protein, calcium, iron, vitamins E & B1 from these cookies. - Kawai
I know!
She came and forbade them to speak while we were looking into the illegal drugs.
She was buying time.
Aargh, how frustrating!
I see.
Kamiyama Yoshie
Lawyer
I'm counting on you.
Since Father went independent, our clients have decreased.
I will definitely make that woman cry.
Just to consult you, who should we hire between Hasumi-sensei and Asahi-sensei?
- Can we decide this in three months? - What?
Didn't we promise to give them half a year?
Tada-sensei, you insisted on that so
we agreed to look at their performance and decide,
but three months should be enough. This costs us too.
But by that, you've already decided on Asahi, haven't you?
Even I want to cheer on Hasumi-sensei too.
She has more spirit than I expected,
and I want to see how she will get up from now.
But when I think of the firm, rather than a 44 year old with a void of 16 years,
an outstanding 26 year old who can work for long is definitely better.
Then, shall we hire both of them?
You really want to be with her, huh?
No. We promised to give them half a year.
After half a year, Hasumi-sensei will be 45.
45, you know? Even I started to have presbyopia from then.
Kitahara-san already quit Tojin Railway.
What? Is that so? But since he quit,
he might not have been forbidden to speak.
Yes, but he left the company housing so we don't know his current address.
- Company housing, huh? - Roasted pork noodles, large serving?
- Here, me. - Okay.
Boiled egg, laver and seaweed for toppings, right? It's hot. Be careful.
Okay, here's the normal serving.
- Thank you. - You unexpectedly eat a lot.
I try to eat when it's time to eat.
- I see. Let's eat. - Let's eat.
- Thanks for the food. - Thank you.
It's delicious, isn't it?
Yes.
Hakata ramen is that one, right?
- Noodles are added into the broth... - It's fine.
You don't have to forcibly find a topic.
Thanks for waiting. Here.
Regarding the matter of being fired from Public Prosecutors Office by your husband...
The salary of a public prosecutor's assistant officer was cheap.
So I worked several side jobs and
when that was found out, I was dismissed by your husband.
Out of revenge,
I said that you shouldn't trust your husband.
- Thanks for the food. - Thank you. That'll be 580 yen.
That's a lie, right?
Madoka-san, you surely know something about my husband
so you're deliberately lying to me, right?
Thank you.
From now, I will decide myself
whether I should trust my husband.
You're right.
Oh, how about the guest book?
- What? - Kitahara-san's address.
Since he's a driver friend, he might have gone to Iguchi-san's funeral.
If his address is on the guest book, we can trace him from there.
We can!
I'm Hasumi, a lawyer.
I will like to ask you about
the overrun that happened 3 months ago, on 14th August.
Kitahara Takashi
Former driver
None of my business. I already quit.
- Hey... - We want to know the reason.
- What's with you? - Sorry.
We're investigating Iguchi-san's derailment accident.
Iguchi-san's bereaved family said that
overwork existed in the company.
- We wonder if you also... - I told you, I don't know.
His room was filled with expensive furniture.
Was it?
This apartment looks expensive too.
Let's look into this.
Ah, sorry, I'll just stand.
Sitting down is tough these days.
Tada and Asahi are out.
If you had given us a call, we would be waiting for you.
Hasumi-sensei, are you Tada-sensei's new girlfriend?
- I'm his new associate. - Tada-sensei is popular.
I was wondering why he's single. Well, this explains it.
You're trying to unnerve me and get the upper hand, right?
Same as using your belly as a tactic.
It seems that you contacted my client's staff without permission.
A person who quit the company.
There's no problem with asking an ex-colleague about the situation, right?
No, please go through me, their lawyer.
In that case, I will ask you.
Kitahara-san, who quit Tojin Railway,
had an overrun 1 week before Iguchi-san's accident, right?
- So what? - After Iguchi-san's accident,
he quit the company and found another job.
Although his salary from the new company isn't high,
he lives in a high-class apartment, surrounded by expensive furniture.
Did he receive hush money?
Didn't he hit the lottery or something?
Kawai-sensei, let me tell you this.
Iguchi-san left behind his children.
In that case, settle while the company is still sympathetic and get a bit of money.
I hope you won't be like your mother~
We will thoroughly investigate until the company admits to overwork.
Of course, we will report it to Labour Office when that happens.
Yeah, this doesn't look like an apartment that can be bought with severance pay.
He's not in?
Shall we wait for a while?
Tada is that man who's sticking close to Hasumi's wife.
- The handsome lawyer. - Yes.
When I talked about him, Hasumi really got angry.
- Hey. - Yes.
Add this here.
"I will never betray the people's trust."
"I will never...
betray the people's trust."
The rest is fine.
I understand.
- The article of the interview from the other day? - Yes.
Say, Sasaki.
What is Hasumi hiding?
What do you mean?
He's not a man who will stumble because of mere bribery.
There's something behind this. Say... What do you think he's hiding?
Well, regardless of what he's plotting,
I will end it here.
I'll give you only 3 days. Ensnare Hasumi and prosecute him.
If not, you won't survive either.
Yes, sir.
Stop.
All right.
I was told by Wakisaka that there are 3 more days.
He might intend to prosecute you forcibly.
Drag this a little longer.
- I've made my move. - Move?
And regarding Tomioka Seikou's bankruptcy,
it seems that the bankruptcy was planned.
Planned bankruptcy? Whose information is that?
Hayashi-sensei's. I asked him to check the subsequent details.
It's dangerous. Asking an outsider to do such a thing.
Just now, you said that you made a move. Is that Hayashi too?
So what?
Why not me?
You might be suspected by Wakisaka now...
Yes. That's why I'm like this...
Do you know how much risk I'm taking to do this!?
I want to get out of here now!
If I can move by myself, I won't rely on anyone.
I will drag Wakisaka down with these hands.
Sorry.
But please let me look into the planned bankruptcy.
He has made his move...

"Mom, Brother made yesterday's curry into rice gratin!"
It's really cold. Here you go.
Oh, I will wait so you can go back, Hasumi.
It's all right.
Tada-kun, you can go back. This is warm.
You're doing your best for this stakeout.
What happened?
When I visited my husband the other day,
I smiled for the first time.
We talked about the time our child was small.
I see.
At that time, I never thought that our future would be gone.
It might have been different if I had looked at my husband properly.
Before the incident,
I had thought that something was wrong.
Perhaps, at that time,
he already had many problems
with work and women.
But I pretended not to see it.
Because I didn't want my family to break up.
[From Mother]
I don't know how this will turn out,
but I want to face my husband properly again.
Yeah.
I will support you.
Thank you.
Shall we leave for today?
Why did I three-putt there?
- Kitahara-san! - Ah.
Wait!
- Why are you running away? - What?
- Kitahara-san, you know something, right? - Get out of my way!
If there was overwork in the company,
accidents like Iguchi-san's might happen again.
I think Iguchi-san wanted to prevent that
so he wrote about your overrun in his notebook.
Wait, Kitahara-san!
Madoka-san, you surely know something about my husband
so you're deliberately lying to me, right?
Tada-sensei seems to have gone home directly.
Where's Hasumi-sensei?
She also went home already.
It's painful for Tada-sensei too.
The person that he likes has her own family.
But it will be troubling if he mixes work and private matters.
- What an annoying conversation. - What?
Things like love and throwing people into confusion.
No, rather than throwing into confusion,
I'm talking about love.
They certainly exist. People who prioritise love over anything else.
Why are you angry?
I just don't like to get in the way of people
who are trying to open up a path by themselves.
That's love too.
Long time no see.
May I sit with you?
Sure.
What happened after that?
- I was lonely. - You're lying.
- What do you want to drink? - Gin and tonic.
I heard that they're snooping around again.
We haven't found any evidence of overwork.
As I thought, Kitahara-san's testimony is necessary.
- But he completely turned us down. - But he was shaken.
I will go and meet him again.
I will go too.
Evidence of overwork... Overwork...
Hello?
The person's not here.
We agreed to meet at 7 pm though.
- There. - What?
Wait!
I'm glad that you contacted us.
We have a suggestion too.
We will pay 20 million as consolation money.
Shall we strike a deal with this?
Anzai-san, can you stop this already?
Please do not speak to my client without permission.
- It existed, didn't it? - Hey.
Overwork.
- Someone told us everything. - Who?
I can't answer at this time.
But the person seems willing to testify if we go to court.
Wait.
Kitahara-san's overrun was
caused by overwork.
The company gave Kitahara-san a high severance pay as hush money.
Their method is too terrible.
Now, they're going to increase the consolation money
to try and shut Iguchi-san up.
I can't put up with this anymore.
Kitahara-san, who had an overrun due to overwork,
had appealed to the company, but improvements were not made.
One week later, Iguchi-san also had an accident.
That is what the person said.
No way. Just because of a testimony of a witness who may not exist, we...
Then, shall we go to court?
If we do that, you can meet the person.
Will that person really come to the trial?
- What? - That person also has a future, right?
Because of one sentimental moment, the person said strange things.
Isn't he or she regretting it now?
There's no other evidence, after all.
If the person inconveniences Tojin Railway due to a misunderstanding,
it would get serious.
I think the person can still reconsider now.
Whether it's a misunderstanding will become clear if we go to court.
Other drivers might also speak up.
If this becomes a class action, the compensation will be far more.
Not only that. If this matter is recognised as death from overwork,
it will become a criminal case and you will definitely be prosecuted.
Then, the management will easily be fired, you know.
Anzai-san, before this is tried in court,
voluntarily fulfilling your social responsibility
will reduce the damage to the company.
Iguchi-san was overworked daily under the company's instructions.
You admit that, don't you?
- Ah...! - No way, now?
Due to the lawyer's poor physical condition,
- please suspend this for today. - You've got to be kidding!
- I will contact you on an alternative date. - Wait!
The child in your belly will get angry.
- We won't be fooled by that anymore. - Wait!
That's enough!
What? Is that all right?
Anzai-san, let's break this off for now...
A trial will be troublesome!
We will accept your demands. I want to end this here.
Then, we will respond to your demands.
However, we will report to the relevant parties ourselves so until then,
please don't speak about it to anyone.
This is our condition.
Our conditions are a compensation of 100 million yen
and a formal apology to Iguchi-san.
And improved labour management so that such an accident will not happen again.
I understand.
We will contact you once the formal apology and schedule are confirmed.
Thank you very much.
- All right, let's go back. - I'll walk you out.
- Okay, let's go... - We're going back~
All right, keep walking.
So why do you two have that look on your faces?
What do you think?
It was unexpectedly easy.
He was the person who offered the flowers, huh?
I wonder how he's related.
Excuse me. Are you related to the case?
What?
Every time we come here, there are new flowers.
Do you know the deceased?
I don't... Is that a problem?
Sorry, if you don't mind, can you tell us the reason?
It's scary...
Shimada Yukihiro
Homeless man
- Really scary! - What?
I... I heard it. A sound from the accident.
I heard a shrill sound.
Is that a whistle?
It sounded like a scream.
I got scared, and it even appeared in my dream.
That's why I offered flowers.
Please go in peace.
Whistle...
What's wrong?
There were no brake marks.
In other words, this accident was caused by the driver dozing off.
But there were overruns.
The company gave Kitahara-san a high severance pay as hush money.
When Hayato first rode a bicycle,
he fell down many times and cried a lot.
But then I checked and found that it wasn't Hayato's fault,
but the bicycle was broken.
The basis was different.
We will accept your demands. I want to end this here.
It's not over yet.
What?
We can't let it end.
Is your client late?
We didn't call her.
We talked to our client and decided that we won't settle.
What are you saying?
We were fundamentally wrong on the issue.
Isn't that right, Anzai-san?
What are you saying now?
The fact that you all were hiding
was not overwork.
We were almost deceived.
Yesterday, we went to the site of the accident.
We met a person who heard a sound when the accident happened.
- The sound of the train's whistle. - So what?
The report by Accident Investigation Committee
stated that there were no brake marks.
We and our client assumed that
because of Iguchi-san's daily overwork,
he had dozed off while driving.
But if he had fallen asleep, he couldn't have sounded the whistle, right?
He probably woke up, panicked and sounded it.
He was about to derail, but didn't brake and only sounded the whistle?
He was awake, tried to brake, but the brakes didn't work.
It's more logical to think that, right?
Anzai-san, the fact that you were hiding wasn't overwork,
but the brakes were malfunctioning.
The brakes which were thought to be damaged due to the accident
were out of order before the accident.
It wasn't Iguchi-san's mistake—
the train carriage was broken.
That's quite an outrageous thing you're saying.
Do you have evidence?
Please come in.
Kitahara-san, the overrun 3 months ago
was caused by the malfunctioning brakes, right?
- Yes. - Hey!
The brake shoe which should be replaced once every year was
only replaced once every 2 years to save money.
That's why the brakes were faulty.
Don't lie.
Shall we take a break?
No, now that this is out, it can't be helped.
I don't want to hide this anymore and become an accomplice.
That's why I told you at that time.
Cease operation of all applicable train carriages.
But you were scared that this would get out so
you tried to get them maintained secretly, bit by bit.
That's why Iguchi-san died!
As we were onto Kitahara-san, you wanted to settle this quickly
before the matter about the brakes came out, right?
On the other hand, easily admitting to overwork
might draw suspicion instead.
So you deliberately leaked to Ogawa-san.
By giving us a whistle-blower,
you let us think that we had found out the truth,
and tried to end the whole case with just overwork.
Lose a battle to win the war. I learned something.
I only did what the company instructed me to.
I get it. How much do you want?
It's no longer that simple now.
If we don't report this to MLIT and take the necessary measures,
our firm will be scolded.
Of course, we will also consider a class action
and file a new lawsuit.
I understand.
Well then, please excuse me.
Hey, you're our lawyer!
I only took up the defence for overwork.
It seemed that you had other problems so
I would like to give you advice, but who would have thought that
you were hiding such a serious crime.
As I have a moral responsibility, I will resign from this case.
She abandoned them.
You lawyers are always like this.
You pretend to be heroes of justice,
but know nothing about organisations.
It's true that our department did something thoughtless and caused the accident.
That's why I said that we will pay the compensation!
If this is made public,
thousands of employees and their families will end up on the streets.
The company is responsible for protecting them...
I understand.
You will argue that in court, right?
I wonder if those thousands of employees
will really be grateful to you?
Anzai-san, fulfil your responsibility publicly
and protect your employees in a true sense.
You did it.
Overwork and a defective train will guarantee us 150 million.
Thanks to Hasumi-sensei for noticing the whistle.
You're right. But the hiring will be decided in 3 months, not half a year.
Why?
Jeez, you negotiate with me any chance you get.
No, cutting off someone prematurely is a pity.
Asahi-sensei also noticed the overrun. It's a tie this time.
Inoue-sensei, how's the intellectual property rights suit coming along?
Three months ago, Tojin Railway had a derailment accident,
- I need to hurry. - and the driver passed away.
As regular maintenance of the train carriages was possibly neglected,
- Japan Transport Safety Board will... - This is your case, right?
- Amazing. - It's just a coincidence...
That what your father said became a hint.
Oh, is that so?
- Thanks for the food. - Yeah.
Moreover,
- it was revealed that around half a year - Jeez, Hayato!
before the accident, Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office
had started to investigate Tojin Railway.
Does this mean that Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office
had already grasped the situation before the accident?
That's right. Apparently, there was whistle-blowing that although the parts
were not replaced regularly, the expenses record for the parts was falsely reported.
And you are now viewing a video taken
from Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office this morning.
Wakisaka-san, you were the person in charge at
Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office, right?
Weren't you unable to prevent the accident beforehand?
Wakisaka-san, what do you think of your responsibility in this accident?
You prioritised those huge cases of politicians and
got careless with this investigation, didn't you?
If you had investigated this properly back then,
the driver wouldn't have died.
Please tell us the contents of the investigation back then.
I can't answer now.
- Won't you apologise to the bereaved family? - Will you take responsibility and resign?
- I can't answer now. - Please answer.
Wakisaka-san, what do you think of your responsibility in this accident?
Won't you apologise to the bereaved family?
I can't answer now.
Wakisaka-san, please answer.
- Will you take responsibility and resign? - Wakisaka-san.
"I will never betray
the people's trust," huh?
Hmm?
I'm sorry.
[A Will to Reconstruct the Prosecution: New Special Investigation Head, Wakisaka Hiromichi Speaks]
What will you do, Wakisaka-kun?
Mitarai Naoto
Chief Public Prosecutor
You can't settle this by saying that you can't answer.
Yes, sir.
I am well aware of it.
- Wakisaka-san. - Wakisaka-san.
Wakisaka-san.
Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office had investigated this back then,
but did not prosecute them.
If the investigation had been conducted properly,
it's highly possible that this accident could have been prevented beforehand.
I heard that you appointed me this time
because a lawyer referred you.
Oh, yes.
I showed the notebook to the company but it was hopeless.
When I was wondering what to do, a lawyer came and talked to me.
What's the lawyer's name?
It's Hayashi-sensei.
Hayashi Mikio-sensei.
Hayashi-sensei, thanks for your hard work.
It went well according to plan, huh?
It wasn't Hayato's fault,
but the bicycle was broken.
The basis was different.
He fell down many times and cried a lot.
Can you tell him to review his study method?
Do your best.
I'm shocked.
He used me to drive his own enemy into a corner.
You did this, didn't you?
It was a disaster, huh?
That person plotted everything.
He deliberately let the client appoint me,
pretended to advise me about the children
and gave me a hint.
Please stop.
Please...
You can choose another future.
