Let's go and ascertain it.
Who the real traitor is.
Were you trying to lay a trap?
What's the matter, Hasumi-san?
Project Details of the Special Economic Zone at Olympics Site
The document I told you to discard is a copy.
That day, Tada-sensei contacted me,
and I asked him for a favour.
To keep the original document and bring a copy.
In order to test you.
You deliberately insisted that it was a fake document, right?
In order to crush evidence of Nanbara's wrongdoings.
I didn't think that I would be suspected.
As expected of you, Hasumi-san.
You've been leaking information of our investigation to Nanbara from the start?
Cheers!
Our investigation was probably leaked to Nanbara.
Shall we take a short walk?
Go back first.
Please tell me.
Why did you suspect me?
It was the phone call with you.
They paid 80 million to Toyama Aki to make the deal.
We certainly heard that Toyama Aki
was bought off by Nanbara.
But we shouldn't have heard that the amount was 80 million.
It was you, right?
Who passed the money to Toyama Aki.
From the beginning, you were involved behind all the scenes.
But why?
I know that you've been working competently as a prosecutor.
And yet, why did you try to protect Nanbara who committed crimes?
For justice, we have to carry it through at any cost.
The one who taught me that...
is you, Hasumi-san.
For the past ten years,
the prosecution is rapidly getting weaker.
To the prosecution, Nanbara is a politician
necessary for a judicial reform advantageous to us.
If we lose Nanbara,
the strong prosecution that you and I have been aiming for
will be delayed by another 10 years.
For the sake of the prosecution,
and also the future of Japan,
I only made the correct decision.
If you think that letting a wrongdoing go unpunished for the country is correct,
you've already failed as a prosecutor.
For the sake of justice,
stick it out no matter what method you use!
One who has a truly strong prosecution spirit is a prosecutor!
I thought you would say that, Hasumi-san.
That's why I kept quiet and did this.
I...
could talk about anything to only you.
If it's with you,
I thought that we could fight for justice together.
Say, Sasaki.
Was I the only one
who thought that?
I respected you.
I liked you.
But...
Our paths were just different.
Hasumi-san.
Please show me...
The strong prosecution that you build.
Sasaki...
died.
What?
#9 Fallen Justice
[Cabinet Secretariat, Cabinet Office]
For acquiring stocks based on unpublicised insider information and obtaining a large amount
of profit illegally from insider trading, Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's
Special Investigation Department has arrested Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Nanbara
on suspicion of violating the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
An incumbent prosecutor is suspected to be deeply involved in the cover-up of this incident.
After this was discovered, the prosecutor committed suicide.
Metropolitan Police Department suspects this prosecutor had a hand in other corruption cases...
Are you okay?
I was told by Sasaki.
Before he jumped off.
He told me to show him a strong prosecution that I build.
Did Sasaki really do everything by himself?
It seems so.
But higher-ups like Mitarai-san should have noticed what Sasaki was doing.
He probably pretended that he didn't see to protect Nanbara.
- Mitarai-san? - Someone who's good at politics.
He can surely evade responsibility
for this incident too.
I don't think that you helped in
Mitarai Naoto
Chief Public Prosecutor
the cover-up of the incident.
But Sasaki's matter seems to be
a big problem that shakes the prestige of the prosecution.
Even if he did it all by himself...
Your management responsibility
will surely be questioned.
With this, the charges against Hasumi-san will be dropped.
- Thank you for your help. - Hereafter, you will
go back to Public Prosecutors Office, right?
That's the plan. I'll go and talk to them today.
I'm grateful to Tada-sensei too.
Not at all.
Well then, please excuse me.
Thank goodness about Hasumi-sensei's husband.
I agree.
Madoka-san, are you okay?
I'm not probing into your matters.
But I started to learn karate.
If your abusive husband comes again, I will handle him.
I've learned this movement and how to dodge too.
- I can be your shield. - It's all right now.
He won't appear anymore.
Oh, really?
Is it fine for them to know
what you did when you were with the prosecution?
If you want me to tell you the status of his defence,
I decline.
Will you tell the kids tonight?
For now, the suspicions on you have all been cleared.
You can explain to them that you did nothing wrong.
Before that, I need to tell you something.
Can you give me some time after your work ends, before you go home?
Can't you say it now? It's bothering me.
Sorry, but I want to talk about it at another place.
Then, I'll contact you when my work ends.
Thanks.
Hasumi-sensei, a visitor is waiting for you.
Thank you.
It's confirmed that the charges against Hasumi-kun will be dropped formally.
I am very sorry for my impoliteness on the previous occasions.
Did you come all the way here to inform me?
Well~ this time,
you two have shown me the strong bond of a married couple.
I'm envious.
Thank you. If you're done, please excuse me.
So... It really pains me to do this today.
You know the paralegal, Madoka Michiru, don't you?
Yes.
She quit our office three years ago because
she had an inappropriate relationship with Hasumi-kun.
It seems that Madoka-kun had consulted
Hasumi-kun about her ex-husband.
No way. That can't be true.
Back then,
Madoka-kun's ex-husband...
asked a detective agency to investigate this.
This again?
Do you want to entrap my husband so you're doing this?
That's what one will think.
Isn't this some kind of mistake again?
But Madoka was threatened by her ex-husband with this information.
Well, in the end,
he's just such a person, huh?
That man, Hasumi.
What's wrong? Weren't you supposed to contact me?
Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?
I heard Madoka-san's ex-husband asked a detective agency to investigate this.
Is this a false accusation too?
It isn't, right?
Yeah, it isn't.
- She... - Never mind. I don't want to hear anything.
When you realised that Madoka-san
is in the same firm, you wanted to tell me, right?
You've been keeping this from me all the time.
For the past few months, I've been thinking about
whether I should believe you.
But that was all pointless.
Because three years ago, you've already betrayed the family.
- I'm sorry. - You don't need to apologise anymore.
I no longer have any energy left to expend on you.
I'm overloaded with thinking about how I should tell the kids.
A delivery van will come to pick up your luggage 30 minutes later.
You will decide on your destination.
Get out before the kids come home.
Oh? Haven't you gone back for today?
Come in.
Please give me a new case.
I will do anything.
[Public Prosecutors Office]
I've been appointed to be Chief Public Prosecutor
of Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.
A press conference like this is highly unusual, but...
I wanted to apologise for the series of incidents...
Dad is not back yet?
He's busy. He said that he will stay at a hotel for the time being.
When he comes back, let's have a party to celebrate, Brother.
You're getting too excited.
- I'm looking forward to it. - Thanks for the food.
- Yeah. - Thank goodness.
I agree.
Oh, yes. Let's take that out.
Brother, when Dad comes back, you have to apologise properly.
- Shut up. - Let's make a cake.
Chief Public Prosecutor's Office Hasumi Soichiro
Oh, you can sit.
Sasaki's matter was a disaster, huh?
Nanbara has finally started to give in and confess.
Thanks to you, we could expose his wrongdoings.
Once again, congrats on your promotion to Chief Public Prosecutor.
Mitarai-san, congrats on your appointment to Deputy Prosecutor General too.
So that the history of this room won't be tainted,
please work hard.
I will do my best so that
I won't inherit the bad habits.
Do your best for your family
who has been worried for you.
Dad, congrats!! Welcome home. - Ayaka
[Suginami Ward Office]
[Divorce Registration]
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thank you.
- I'm counting on you. - Thanks.
I'm counting on you.
I brought the legal brief that the opposing party sent.
Please leave it over there. Thank you.
- Anything else that you will like me to do? - No, it's okay.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Hasumi-sensei, it seems that today is finally the day they decide.
Our competition.
Who will be hired.
From morning, Kamiyama-sensei and Tada-sensei have been in there.
Rinko-san who brought the tea in seems to have heard them talking about it.
I may sound arrogant, but you were a good rival.
I'm glad that you were my opponent, Hasumi-sensei.
Me too. Thank you for competing seriously.
Subtitles by carameltz
Do you know?
I hear it's always the first one called in who will be hired.
Really?
Asahi.
Yes.
Excuse me.
You did a great job for the past three months.
Congrats.
- It's your win, Hasumi-sensei. - What...?
Please send my stuff to me later.
Hey, Asahi.
- Wait. - I will quit today.
- Listen. - You chose Hasumi-sensei because
her husband became the Chief Public Prosecutor, right?
- It's not like that. - There's no other reason, is there?
When he went back to the Public Prosecutors Office, I thought it would be bad for me.
So I handled three major cases simultaneously and won all of them!
I'm the one with a higher sales volume.
However, what the firm needed wasn't ability, but
the status of the Chief Public Prosecutor's wife, right?
No. It's true that your sales volume is a little higher.
But as a lawyer, Hasumi-sensei's responsive and social abilities are better.
What the firm needs now isn't just excellence, but
a lawyer who cannot be replaced.
But you will definitely become one too.
Let's talk properly. Tonight...
Good for you, huh? You can be with Hasumi-sensei again.
Is my husband the reason I was hired?
No, Asahi-sensei just misunderstood that.
Um, actually...
I'm thinking of getting a divorce.
I haven't talked to my kids yet so it will be after I do that.
I see...
But you were hired because of your abilities.
Work hard to meet my expectations.
Come in.
My expectation was wrong.
What?
Hasumi-sensei said that she might get a divorce.
Although his suspicions were cleared, she wants a divorce. What happened?
She was hired because she's the Chief Public Prosecutor's wife.
That's not true.
I thought that those two were even.
So I chose the option of the Chief Public Prosecutor's wife.
Did you tell Hasumi-sensei that?
Of course not. Why would I deliberately lower her motivation?
Well, I will watch the situation a little longer.
Where's Asahi-sensei?
He quit with effect from today.
I see.
You heard from Wakisaka-san?
- My kids are waiting for me. - I won't talk to you anymore.
Can you listen to me for the last time?
I'm the one who fell in love.
Him being the mediator for my ex-husband and I was the trigger.
Your husband told him that if we don't get a divorce, he will inform the police...
so my ex-husband finally agreed.
I always thought that I was the only one who
can recover myself from my ex-husband's violence.
That was my only significance of existence.
But your husband told me.
That I was the one who was reliant.
Your husband freed me from the curse.
At that time, I could only see my own feelings.
In the end, I pushed for it...
and we had an affair once.
It was found out by ex-husband and I was blackmailed so
I gave him my savings and quit the prosecution.
I didn't tell your husband either and then disappeared.
One year later, my ex-husband reappeared and I ran away again...
and I joined the current firm.
Then, I joined the firm by chance.
Yes.
I get it.
At first, I said bad things about your husband because
I thought that he also had an affair with Toyama Aki-san.
I felt that I was a fool to quit the prosecution
and I also thought that you were a naive wife.
But when we worked together, I came to know you...
and I regretted it.
Due to my husband's matter, I lost all my interpersonal relationships.
To have reached this point, what made me happy...
was to...
To have made a friend like you, I thought.
But to you,
it was just a sense of guilt.
That's not true.
I don't have any true friends.
I've lived while thinking that I don't need any.
But then I met you...
and thought that life could actually be more fun.
I believe that you're regretting it.
But you can't change the past.
You're the one who said that.
I need this job so
no matter what happens, I can't quit the firm.
From now on, when we're at work,
please be the same as usual.
I understand.
I'm sorry.
- Shall we go and grab a drink later? - What?
I'll wait downstairs at 6.30 pm.
That is you.
The person you think you want to be is you.
Only one year ago,
I had a completely different life.
I wanted to meet you at that time.
I'm glad that I can meet you now, Madoka-san.
[Tada-sensei]
Ah, it's me.
If you need a letter of recommendation, I will write it.
You can contact me any time. Bye.
Tada-sensei One voicemail and one missed call
Come in. Oh, you're still here?
I'm quitting.
You're negotiating your salary? It can't go any higher.
Please look for my replacement.
What's wrong? If you're unhappy with anything, I'll listen.
Please make it quick.
Hello?
Hey, did Wakisaka-san say anything to you?
I was seen with you by Wakisaka-san's subordinate
so I told him everything the other day.
Nothing in particular. I'm fine. What about you?
Well, I will lie low for the time being.
Since Hasumi-san became the Chief Public Prosecutor, we suddenly got busy.
Why?
He set up a special mission team
and is reviewing all the cases that my division is handling.
It's unthinkable for the Chief Public Prosecutor to do that personally.
He seems as if he's possessed.
We will do the work and report to you.
No, let me do this together with everyone.
[Divorce Registration]
- Then, I'll count on you next week. - Thank you in advance.
Hasumi, do you have a moment?
Well, Madoka-san said that she will quit the firm.
Did she tell you that she's unhappy or going to work elsewhere?
Who knows? She didn't mention it.
Do you know why she's quitting?
No, I don't.
I see. Sorry to disturb you at work.
It's okay.
Um...
How are you?
Did you hear from Kamiyama-sensei? That I might get a divorce.
Yes... Oh, I'm just purely worried.
I'm not thinking that luck is on my side or anything.
- What? Luck is on your side? - Well, after all,
I was clearly rejected by you.
Wait a minute. What do you mean, you were rejected?
Wait, you're asking that now?
I see. You're pretending that nothing happened?
No. What do you mean by you were rejected?
Because you didn't come at that time.
I've always liked you.
Tonight, at 7 pm,
I will wait for you at the firm's rooftop.
I didn't get such a phone call.
- What? - Did you call the wrong person?
No, I definitely called you.
I even left a voicemail.
There wasn't one.
I didn't hear it.
Then, someone deleted it?
You wanted to talk?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Once I've talked to the kids, I will submit this so please sign it.
I won't tell them about Madoka-san.
I'll explain that we had differences in these few months so we couldn't go back to before.
I'm really sorry.
Once you've signed it, send it to me.
Like you said, I intended to take my matter with her to the grave.
But what matters is you and the kids.
For three years, when I thought that I might lose my family, I just couldn't tell you.
Don't say whatever you like.
Using smooth talk and apologising after you did whatever you wanted,
- do you think you'll be forgiven? - I don't think I'll be forgiven...
Are you also the one who deleted Tada-kun's voicemail?
Why?
Did you think you can hide this forever too?
I really don't know who you are anymore.
- Do you understand Tada then? - I'm not talking about that now.
He's a man who will take advantage when you're down and confess to someone's wife.
Can that be forgiven?
You have no right to tell me not to go out with Tada-kun.
After you were arrested, Tada-kun was the one who helped me.
The one who let me return to work as a lawyer and encouraged me was Tada-kun too.
If the kids and Tada-kun weren't there, I would be a wreck long ago.
Tada isn't the person that you think he is.
You too.
What does the Chief Public Prosecutor who
made a brilliant comeback want from me now?
Are you going to complain that I broke up your family?
You know that I'm reviewing the investigation contents now, right?
Actually, in the process,
something unexpected came out.
I suspect that a certain lawyer is doing something illegal.
A lawyer?
I noticed that he has an unnatural way of winning in trials.
When I looked into the other cases of this lawyer...
I noticed that his winning rate is high when a certain judge presides.
I investigated and found that they knew each other on a personal basis.
This lawyer and judge might be working in collusion.
And how is that related to me?
I heard that you received a notice of transfer.
If you cooperate with me, I'll arrange for you to remain here.
This isn't a bad deal for you.
At this rate,
your life as a prosecutor
will end.
If you want to make a comeback too,
this is your last chance.
So what's the name of this lawyer?
I see.
Please investigate Tada.
Thoroughly.
Sorry to call you suddenly.
What's the matter?
The prosecution seems to be investigating Tada-sensei.
I was asked many questions about Tada-sensei's work methods.
Work methods?
I've seen Tada-sensei using rather grey methods for defence.
I've decided to cooperate with the prosecution.
Please be careful not to get involved in this.
Thanks for your hard work. I'll go back first.
Was it your husband after all?
Who deleted the voicemail.
Yes...
I'm sorry. What was that for, huh?
I know how he feels.
I wanted to crush evidence of Nanbara's wrongdoings too.
- What? - I changed my mind though.
I didn't want your husband to be cleared of suspicions and...
go back to before with you.
In the past, I was shocked when you got married, but...
When I met you again, I realised it.
That I can't forget you.
Although I have a void of 16 years,
I will do my very best.
I see...
Credibility is very important to a lawyer so...
He's suspected of corruption and has troubles with women, right?
I'm sorry.
- Misawa? - I'm Hasumi now.
Oh, that's right.
How surprising. Do you work in this building?
No, I'm meeting a client. I have another meeting after this.
I see. You're busy.
Yeah, I'm much sought after.
Oh, I heard rumours that you're looking for a firm?
Yeah, but it's totally hopeless.
It's no wonder. I have a void of 16 years.
My husband is suspected of corruption
and has a scandal with a woman.
You shouldn't line up the reasons you would be rejected.
If you want a job, you have to acknowledge yourself first.
Fourth floor.
See you.
Oh, yes.
When you need encouragement, contact me.
I'm much sought after so I might not answer your call though.
Oh, that was close.
Tada-sensei, thanks for your hard work for the business trip.
I'm back.
All right, don't move. We're the prosecution.
Tada Masahiro-san, for suspicion of bribery,
we've obtained an arrest warrant.
Um, we have a warrant for search and seizure so
please let us conduct a search in the firm.
- Begin! - Yes!
Over there! Don't touch unrelated stuff!
