I think I will divorce your father.
It can't be helped.
Please let me handle only Hasumi's case.
I will prosecute you.
My husband's bail was rejected.
Tojo Chinami
Kazuya's wife
You don't have to mind me.
A man with status
runs off to a young model.
It happens often.
I could get a face-lift,
but I can't go back to my twenties.
I'm just trying not to look stiff today.
Please smile. Let us be angry for you.
Thank you.
Hey.
Tojo-san, this is a divorce negotiation
so can you refrain from
bringing unconcerned parties?
Tojo Kazuya
Rock star
Ogawa Yuina
Kazuya's girlfriend
You won't mind, right?
This concerns me too.
Go ahead.
A big star with a 2 billion estate.
- Snatch it without holding back. - I'll do just that.
Tada-sensei, long time no see.
Your acquaintance?
My name is Kuriyama.
Kuriyama Misaki
Lawyer
I dated Tada-sensei in the past.
- Hey... - Ex-girlfriend?
He broke up with me one-sidedly half a year ago.
It wasn't one-sided. And why are you here?
- Tada-sensei, everyone's waiting. - Ah.
Choose this one.
- It's nothing. - Where is the conference room?
I'm Tojo-san's lawyer.
- Nice to meet you. This way please. - Jeez...
It's fine.
Just because I was dumped, I won't involve my personal feelings here.
This is out of the question.
There are many men who say they want a breakup and then disappear,
but my client intends to show his sincerity properly.
Tada-sensei?
Ah...
Tojo family's total assets are about 2 billion.
The property and marital expenses amount to 1 billion.
And as a big star, Tojo Kazuya-san can pay 100 million yen in alimony.
Together, 1.1 billion yen should be a reasonable offer...
You two have been living separately for 7 years, right?
Yes.
His assets of 2 billion yen were built in the recent 10 years.
The assets he acquired while they lived separately are not shared property so
the portion that will be subjected to property distribution
is only about 100 million yen acquired during cohabitation.
Half of that is 50 million and...
with an exceptional alimony of 10 million,
the total is 60 million.
1.1 billion to 60 million? You've got to be kidding.
In the first place, they lived separately because of Tojo-san's affairs.
After having affairs with at least 6 women,
he left the house on his own.
Chinami, let's end this once and for all.
I don't want to think of you as a greedy woman.
Greedy?
Tojo-san, Chinami-san supported you
for 15 years before you became famous.
Can a greedy woman do that?
We do not intend to change our offer in the negotiation.
60 million, huh?
It's a pretty good estimate.
The assets he acquired after their marital relationship broke down
certainly can't be counted.
No, she supported him, but he cheated on her after he got famous.
Saying his earnings before that can't be counted is emotionally unacceptable.
Tada-sensei.
It seems that Tojo Kazuya is
going to Tahiti with his girlfriend next weekend.
Tahiti?
A hotel's banquet hall and church were booked.
They're getting married in Tahiti?
Amazing, Madoka-san. You even got this information.
I have friends in various places.
I see.
That's why he wants a divorce before
the wedding ceremony next weekend no matter what.
Right.
We understand your offer.
Can you give us time to consider it?
Let's see...
How about the week after next?
- Week after next? - We want to think it over carefully.
Give me a break.
If you say so, shall we take this to mediation?
When that happens, of course,
we will withdraw our offer of 10 million in alimony.
Go ahead. Please take this to mediation.
It will end up in a disagreement anyway
so I think that will take a longer time.
Well, well, don't be so aggressive.
Well then, if you agree now,
we will raise the alimony to 80 million.
We refuse. Then, we'll see you in mediation.
Wait a minute.
Can't we work something out?
It is not the intention of both parties to drag this.
I didn't expect them to raise it to 500 million.
Thank you.
Please bring your seal next time and sign here.
I'll fill in the form now.
I happen to bring my seal.
This...
Oh, the band that Kazuya was in before he went solo, Crusher.
It's a limited edition goods that we made.
This is nice.
It's been 30 years.
Kazuya, his manager and I-- the three of us
came up with the design.
I think Kazuya has thrown his away though.
Now that this is settled,
I thought I was completely over him.
Ah...
We've agreed on the outline. Shall we go for drinks today?
I won't go.
I mean, we discussed properly and then broke up, didn't we?
You said you were waiting for the right time too.
That person seems to be Tada-sensei's ex-girlfriend.
What?
They look like they're having fun arguing.
Oh, really?
Fine, fine.
She's Hasumi Soichiro's wife, right? She's pretty good.
I'm filing a quasi-appeal of your bail to the courthouse.
Quasi-appeal
Thank you.
Hasumi-san.
Can you tell me soon what you're hiding?
I've told you before that this case doesn't feel right to me.
I just don't understand why
Tomioka Seikou would suddenly accuse you.
I'm not hiding anything.
Anyway, we don't have much time before the trial.
Please bail me out as soon as possible.
Delicious.
Eat up.
We need to do our best for Hasumi's upcoming trial.
What the heck? Jeez...
Hello? I'm at work. What?
- Hasumi-sensei, do you have a moment? - Sure.
I don't know what you mean. What are you saying? Huh?
Sorry for the sudden notice, but a client appointed you.
I will ask my lawyer to contact you henceforth.
What the heck?
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Nice to meet you. I'm Wakisaka Reiko.
The wife of Wakisaka, who's
Wakisaka Reiko
Wakisaka's wife
your husband's successor and
Chief of Special Investigation Department.
I want to divorce my husband.
Can you help me?
Um, I will show you the way.
Um...
Sorry to make you come all the way here.
Your wife wishes to speak to you in person.
Where is she?
- Where's your lawyer? - I don't need one.
What are you planning? You left the house after a phone call.
I've been packing up since a while back.
You just didn't notice, did you?
- You're obsessed with your promotion game. - I'm busy!
You should know that. How many years have you been a prosecutor's wife?
I'm not your wife, but more like a housekeeper.
You don't care for me at all.
Ah, is that so? If that's the problem, let's talk it over.
I've had enough. We don't have kids so I just want a divorce.
Your wife only wishes to have an estate distribution according to the law.
- Can you shut up for a bit? - I knew you would complain like this
so I asked for a lawyer.
I don't need the house. I will settle for money.
That distasteful house packed with your vanity and your complexes...
Is that it? You're getting back at me for rejecting your husband's bail?
Your wife appointed me.
That's because she knew you would happily help her out.
Before you get angry,
why don't you think about your wife's feelings
of deciding on a divorce?
I won't get a divorce.
If you continue to lead my wife to a divorce,
I have my own ideas too.
#5 Conjugal Condition
- It'll be over soon. Stay. - Yes, sir.
Is that deliberate harassment from you?
- What are you talking about? - Let me tell you this.
No matter how many times you apply for bail, I will never release you.
Until the trial is over,
you will feel suffocated in the dim, solitary cell,
endure, endure, endure and stay there.
I'm done. Take him back.
Yes, sir. Let's go.
Mom, here's a notice from school.
Okay, thanks.
[Divorce Agreement]
Are you preparing to divorce already?
No, this is for work.
Come here.
Ayaka, you don't like it, do you?
If your father and I were to divorce.
You can just say what you think.
I mean...
We haven't heard anything from Dad yet.
You're right.
He's late.
Hello? What's the matter?
Please call me back when you hear this.
Hey, did you manage to contact Tojo-san?
Not yet. Apparently, he went to Hayama last night.
His agency has a studio there.
He wants to practise because his recording is almost here.
Hasumi-sensei, Tada-sensei.
What's wrong?
Tojo Kazuya was just in a motorcycle accident this morning.
Chinami-chan.
He's Miyake-san.
The manager of Kazuya's personal agency.
Nice to meet you.
His doctor is not here yet?
He's explaining to the wife now.
Wife?
There was severe bleeding in the brain.
With cerebral damage, there's serious dysfunction of the brain...
Sorry, can you please wait?
- She is Tojo-san's wife. - What?
He divorced her.
I'm his actual wife.
I haven't submitted the form yet.
What are you saying? You signed it, didn't you?
More importantly, Doctor, how is Kazuya?
Miyake Hiroyuki
Manager
I'm afraid he is in a persistent vegetative state.
Please have a seat.
Okay.
Currently, the other parts of his body are functioning normally,
but please understand that his condition is extremely harsh.
Did he leave any request about
life support or organ donation?
No.
I don't think so.
Well then, his family will have to decide on his future options.
Um, in other words, you mean...
When he's in such a state,
if we stop treatment, it will usually lead to cardiac arrest in a few days.
If we continue treatment, might he be revived?
Unfortunately, it's better to think
that likelihood is almost zero.
There's no guarantee that he will live for long either.
Can you please leave?
Give me a break.
You agreed to the divorce.
I won't divorce him.
I will decide all by myself what to do from now.
We have a kid.
In my womb,
is his kid.
This kid is his family so we have the right to decide.
Hey, what's going on?
She's 4 months pregnant.
The DNA has been verified too.
That's why they were rushing
the divorce and wedding ceremony.
To put it modestly, he's a scumbag. That Tojo Kazuya.
I'm sorry.
It seems that Tojo Kazuya didn't leave a will.
Will
His parents have passed away so
his only family is his current wife and the unborn child.
When the child is born, his girlfriend will
become the child's legal representative.
What do the two say about providing life support?
They have completely opposite opinions.
Kazuya won't quit before a miracle happens.
He kept saying that and
fulfilled his dream of becoming a star.
I...
want to maintain his life support.
Please stop his life support.
Tojo-san wanted to be cool at all times.
As a rock musician, he valued the aesthetics.
But both their claims are in accordance with their loss and profit.
Especially Chinami-san.
If the divorce is finalised, she will get 500 million.
But if she doesn't divorce Tojo-san, while he's alive
and she makes good use of the guardianship system,
Guardianship System
Chinami-san is free to spend his entire fortune of 2 billion.
On the contrary, the girlfriend is his child's legal representative
and can essentially obtain 1 billion yen.
But that's only after Tojo-san dies.
Before she inherits the estate, she will need him to die
as soon as possible so that Chinami-san won't reduce it as much.
That's how it is. How harsh.
Everyone needs money in order to survive in the harsh reality.
Essentially, except for copyrights, Tojo Kazuya's all other rights
will be managed by his wife, our client.
We will be her consulting lawyers. Follow this through properly.
She's the harshest.
♪ Hot burning thoughts
♪ In a tomorrow we can't see
Tojo-san sent this to me before he had an accident.
He wanted to be happy with
me and my unborn child, just the three of us.
His wife already agreed to a divorce.
But right after he had an accident,
she said that she won't divorce.
My lawyer says that
she might not want to hand over his assets to my child
so she needs to maintain his life support.
But the doctor told us that he can never be revived.
So I don't want him to suffer anymore...
Do you know what your husband is hiding?
There should be something behind
your husband's arrest this time.
Have you heard anything?
No, nothing at all.
Um, what do you mean?
I'm guessing that politics might be involved.
Politics might be involved?
This is a waste of time. I won't divorce.
Our side has already signed.
I love you.
You've been deceived.
We'll definitely start over. Okay?
I will tell her.
What?
The contents of the computer that you use at home.
I searched through many things for a weapon to get a divorce.
It really helped that your computer's password is your name and birthday~
You're really a narcissist.
- Reiko, stop. - On his computer,
there's a folder about your husband.
If you leak the prosecution's confidential information, it will be a big problem!
Why is confidential information in the computer at home?
You have a guilty conscience.
Isn't it because there was illegal investigation?
If you don't agree to a divorce,
I will tell her.
Subtitles by carameltz
What's in that folder?
I don't know. She wouldn't tell me no matter what.
My husband's lawyer told me that
there's something behind my husband's arrest
and that politics might be involved.
Is there any relation between that and
the contents of Wakisaka-san's folder?
I will look into this.
If you hear anything from Hayashi-sensei again, can you tell me?
I understand.
Although you've been prosecuted,
there's a few things that we need to check with you so we asked you to come.
Before that, go and buy some coffee.
Okay.
It seems that Lawyer Hayashi
told your wife that politics might be involved in your arrest.
If he guessed wrongly, we could just leave it though.
Did you find out something?
After that, I investigated Idens.
The president, Ide,
met that man frequently.
Nanbara?
One year ago
First, a member of the House of Representatives,
Nanbara Jiro
Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary
Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary, Nanbara Jiro-sama,
will like to make a toast.
I've always thought that Japan
needs special economic zones similar to those in Western countries.
Idens,
congratulations on your assignment to the special economic zone.
Ide Shoji
Idens, President
I will like to propose a toast to
pray for Iden's further development
and good health of all the guests. Cheers!
- Cheers! - Congratulations.
Our investigation was probably leaked to Nanbara.
Then, in order to stop the investigation,
Nanbara went through Idens
and let Tomioka Seikou fabricate your accepting their bribe.
In return, there's the planned bankruptcy, huh?
At that time, Tomioka Seikou was struggling with management difficulties.
In exchange for the executives' re-employment,
Tomioka Seikou could have sold you out.
With this, everything has been connected.
The one who entrapped me and caused my arrest
was Nanbara.
You knew Hasumi-sensei from long ago, right?
I said that I won't accompany you for drinks.
To think that the rational you would hire someone with such circumstances.
We did our legal apprenticeship in the same year.
Oh, really?
I'm leaving.
I'm getting married.
To a colleague in the same firm.
I'm happy for you. Congrats.
That look of relief.
You were avoiding the topic of marriage, after all.
Perhaps, were you always
comparing me with Hasumi-sensei?
What?
Since I'm getting married, I'll say this. I was serious.
You disliked serious women so I just pretended to be casual.
But I realised it halfway through.
It's not that you disliked serious women,
but you had someone else you like.
That's not true.
Good afternoon.
Hello.
Sensei, please tell Chinami-chan.
- What? - Go home and rest.
You haven't slept at all.
I'm all right. Same goes to you, Miya-chan.
- What? - Go back and rest.
Then, if anything happens, call me.
Okay.
See you.
- Take care. - Go back and rest.
Yeah, I know.
He has really been with you two from long ago, huh?
She said that he wanted to be cool at all times, right?
His girlfriend.
- Yes. - Although he looks like that,
the truth is
he's easily scared and timid.
He probably disliked me for being able to see through that.
When he's in front of his young girlfriend,
he can be a cool star.
Regarding his life support,
I actually don't know what to do.
Although he won't accept defeat easily,
he hates to suffer as well.
What do you want me to do?
You can think about it until you're convinced.
Of course, life support is for himself, but...
I think it is also for the feelings of those who are left behind.
Come in.
Are you Tojo Chinami-san?
Yes.
May we speak to you about your husband's accident?
What?
I found out the reason for Tojo Chinami's interrogation.
- What is it? - To investigate the cause of the accident,
a detailed blood test was performed and
a sleeping pill was detected
from Tojo Kazuya's body.
Sleeping pill?
Someone made him take it?
The police are considering the possibility of murder and have started to investigate.
Chinami-san is one of the prime suspects.
No way. What's the reason?
She was alone at home so she has no alibi.
Besides, she regularly takes the same sleeping pill that Tojo Kazuya took.
- Thanks for your hard work. - Thanks for your hard work.
They let her go back for today after the interrogation.
Well, she certainly has a motive.
If she kills her husband before the divorce is finalised,
she can inherit all his assets.
She didn't know about the existence of a child so
it wouldn't be strange to think that.
But she's denying it.
She seems to really care for Tojo-san.
Will she kill him just for his assets?
- Thanks for your hard work. - Thank you.
Because she cares deeply for him, her hatred might be hundredfold too.
- That's true, but... - For reference,
the girlfriend has an alibi.
Her neighbours saw her walking her dog at that time.
For the girlfriend, if she were to kill him, it should be after the divorce or
her child's portion would be reduced and she would suffer a big loss.
Could Tojo-san have taken the sleeping pill himself?
You mean suicide? He has no motive to do that.
A discussion that will not bring in money is a waste of time.
Think of this after she's arrested and we're asked to defend her.
Until then, work on other cases.
Okay.
- Oh, right. Let's have a meeting. - Yes.
Ah! You're bringing that home to examine, aren't you?
To see whether you can prove that Chinami-san isn't the culprit.
You're too loud.
- No, let's do this together. - What?
If we clear a future big client of suspicion,
- it will benefit the firm too. - Really?
You just don't want Hasumi-sensei to get ahead of you, right?
Kamiyama-sensei will get angry if she finds out.
- Let's do this at Madoka-san's house. - No way. Go to the house of whoever suggested it.
My place is a cramped one-room apartment. Then, let's go to Tada-san's house.
You brat. My house...
- If you give me 2 hours, I'll clean it up. - That's long.
If I've to wait 2 hours, I'll rather go home.
Then, the only place left is...
My house!?
Hello. I'm your mother's colleague, Asahi.
- Good evening. - Come in.
Show them the way.
- I will take your coat. - Oh, thank you.
Excuse me. Sorry for disturbing.
Excuse me for disturbing.
Tada-kun, come in too.
Okay.
Here. Have a seat.
- Please use this as a table. - Thanks.
Sorry that you have to do this.
It's fine. There's no school tomorrow.
May I have a cup of coffee?
- Here you go. We have milk too. - No, it's okay.
- What? - Nothing.
You have a discerning eye.
Um, can we take a photo together?
Ayaka, they're not here to play.
Well, it's fine.
- Madoka-san, you too. - What?
I will pass.
Go ahead.
- Okay, change places, you two. - What?
All right, say cheese.
When was this video taken?
He sent it to his girlfriend at around 6.30 am in the morning.
Which means, it's highly possible that
when he was singing this song, the culprit was at this studio in Hayama.
It's possible.
The sleeping pill was taken between 6 am to 7 am, after all.
Then, if any clues were captured in this video,
you might be able to find the real culprit?
The logic of our defence is not to find the real culprit.
The purpose is to prove that our client cannot be the culprit.
Oh, really? That's interesting.
But we did this often in the past.
Yeah, like before the mock trials.
To prove that your client was innocent,
and when you needed other suspects,
you told me to turn myself in so that you could win.
I was only joking.
I was almost falsely accused.
Sorry, Hasumi. Do you have a pen?
Yeah, I have. Hayato, take a ballpoint pen from there.
Here? All right.
Ah, I found it.
- Oh, thank you. - You're welcome.
It's been a while since the two of us can talk like this.
Um, can you walk slightly faster?
I'm the middle child of three brothers.
What?
But my older and younger brothers don't get along.
They always talk with me in between them.
If I conveyed their messages directly, it would become a fight
so when I interpreted those suitably, I became good at negotiation.
Before I know about you, I should talk about myself first.
I have a husband who abused me so I ran away.
What?
You'd better not get involved with me.
No, wait. What? You're kidding, right?
Right? Domestic violence?
Ah... They're totally asleep.
I'm glad that you all came today.
Why?
My kids seemed happy as the house was lively.
I thought I will get a divorce.
After the trial is over.
Did you give up the thought?
I'm hesitating. My daughter cried.
Besides, now, my husband is also...
I'm guessing that politics might be involved.
On his computer, there's a folder about your husband.
He might be in a worse situation than it looks.
If he's released on bail and comes back,
I think I will talk to him properly this time
and then decide whether I should get a divorce.
Can you forgive him for the affair?
I don't know that yet.
But he's still family, after all.
I think it should be like this.
- Maybe a little lower. - Lower?
Then, Tada-sensei. Please leave and set the timer here,
- and then return to that position. - Okay.
All right.
Oh? We can't set the timer to take a video.
- Oh, really? - Which means, the video
should have captured Tojo-san placing his smartphone here
and moving to sit over there.
But for the video that we saw, Tojo-san was sitting from the start.
Someone took the video. Maybe the real culprit?
Or the original video that he sent to his girlfriend
might have the part before it.
No way.
Why do I have to cooperate with you
to prove that Chinami-san is innocent?
The video that we saw
is a recorded footage that was shown on TV.
Can you show us the original video from the beginning?
That woman tried to kill Kazuya.
There's no other person who has a motive to kill Kazuya, right?
Ogawa-san.
We want to reveal the truth for Tojo-san's sake too.
Please.
- Please check it here. - Okay.
As I thought, he took the video himself.
This pen, notebook and blanket.
Let's check if those belong to Chinami-san.
Okay.
- Are you done? - Please wait a minute.
What did it capture?
This image is an enlarged version of that part.
This is the limited goods that you made
for Tojo-san's band 30 years ago, right?
The day of that accident,
were you with Tojo-san at the studio in Hayama?
The day of that accident,
were you with Tojo-san at the studio in Hayama?
This isn't mine.
- What? - You don't remember?
I said that the three of us made it together.
I'm not the only one
who's still using it.
But...
Why...
Yes.
Police. May we speak to you?
Miyake was asked by Tojo-san to keep his will.
Oh? I thought Tojo-san didn't have a will?
Before he met Yuina-san,
he wrote a will and kept it a secret from Chinami-san.
The content of the will was to distribute his assets to
Chinami-san and Miyake who had gone through good and bad times with him.
But Tojo-san had a child later
so the situation changed.
He said that after his official divorce, he would rewrite his will
and remove Miyake from it.
The assets would go to three people--
his new wife, child and also Chinami-san.
So Miyake thought that he would kill him
before the divorce was finalised.
- Hey. - Good morning. What's the matter?
Oh, nothing. You're finally getting a divorce today. I'm just concerned.
What? Sorry for worrying you.
I'll make some coffee. Do you want a cup?
Thank you.
I think he was jealous too.
Tojo-san, who had always been with him,
was at the girlfriend's beck and call.
Who do you think is the one that brought Kazuya so far?
I begged the record companies and sold his CD by hand.
I was the one who grabbed the chance for him.
Which means...
The will that was written at first will be effective?
That's right, because he hasn't written a new will yet.
Due to Miyake's crime, he will lose his right of inheritance so
Inheritance
the wife, Chinami-san, will inherit the whole estate of 2 billion.
If you request for the heir's legal portion,
we can pay you 500 million.
500 million...
But if the divorce was finalised, your side would get 500 million.
We would get 1.5 billion.
What's with that will?
That isn't love.
He's weak and
couldn't abandon me, that's all.
He's just a person like that.
He pretends to be an unprecedented rock star,
but he can't become a villain.
♪ Oh! She gives me crazy love
♪ Hot burning thoughts
♪ In a tomorrow we can't see
♪ Scorching my body
I...
I don't need Kazuya's estate anymore.
I'm renouncing it.
I will give all of it
to you and Kazuya's child.
Are you serious?
Chinami-san, you need money.
I know.
But...
I want to do that.
In return,
let us discuss his life support once again.
Without considering the money,
until both you and my feelings
reach an agreement together.
Tada-sensei has gone soft too. Is that your influence?
If she gives up the whole amount, your firm won't get any remuneration.
My firm will profit though.
But it's the client's intention.
Such lip service is only a moment of emotion.
That's not her real intention so I think it's the job
of a lawyer to persuade her.
I agree.
But...
There are also times when a person wants to insist that
lip service is one's real intention, grit one's teeth and live on,
don't you think?
Such graciousness
is also noble, I think.
Huh?
What the heck?
Don't mess with me.
Your husband has agreed to a divorce.
Thank you. It's because of your help.
Please check the content and then sign.
Okay.
After I sign here,
I can't talk about his secrets anymore, right?
That's right.
In exchange for agreeing to a divorce,
Wakisaka-san has included a condition that you must not reveal
any information you acquired from his computer.
On your wedding anniversary,
did you receive a necklace from your husband?
What?
Didn't my husband say something to you on that matter?
Um, what do you mean...
Your house has been wiretapped.
By Wakisaka.
The recordings were in his computer's folder.
I didn't manage to save them though.
That's all I know.
- Mom. - Yes?
This is the necklace that Dad gave you for your 15th wedding anniversary, right?
It was mixed up in here.
Thanks.
Madam, I found it.
May I have something to drink?
Go and buy a drink.
It seems that
in the confusion when moving,
a wiretap was set up in my house.
Apparently, this is from the wife of the person who wiretapped my house.
Prove it if you can.
Even if that is true,
the person who told you that
will be charged with a breach of confidentiality too.
That might be true, but
if we go to trial,
the person who conducted illegal investigation will be exposed,
and he will be driven into a corner too.
But this time,
I intend to conceal this matter in darkness.
In exchange,
let me apply for bail once again.
I understand.
Thank you.
- Look into this. - Got it.
My husband will be released on bail.
If he's released on bail and comes back,
I think I will talk to him properly this time
and then decide whether I should get a divorce.
He's still family, after all.
I heard that he will come back tomorrow.
I have something to tell you.
