Koichi Ichinose, having fled Japan and living in Thailand as a con artist,
encountered the man responsible for killing his family 30 years ago.
I'll give everyone a taste of the hell I lived.
With the fire of revenge burning, he plans to trap and drive those responsible into ruin.
My father... is the murderer.
He knows Detective Miwa forced his false confession.
And the mastermind who ordered his family to be killed is Kozo Nishina.
I'll show them hell and take everything from them.
In order to get close to Kozo,
he's quickly getting to know Kozo's daughter better.
I...
I'm being called.
I have to return to the hospital.
I can walk with you?
What?
Oh no. I'm fine.
I'll grab a taxi.
It's late, be careful.
Well...
Umm...
Next time.
Yes, next time.
First Dr. Igarashi and now Mr. Rokutanda?
Don't you find this suspicious?
Yoichi Chiba...
Dr. Igarashi said, Yoichi Chiba had appeared.
Chiba...
Thirty years ago,
the one boy who survived.
Except Yoichi Chiba is living in Australia.
Shinji Nanao Except Yoichi Chiba is living in Australia.
I surely thought Igarashi, with his greed would try and blackmail me.
I'll look into this Yoichi Chiba once more.
Yes.
If there's any chance that incident comes to light,
Right now Nishina Corporation would not survive.
You're too quiet! Shout from within!
Ikuo Miwa Fujinami Police Lieutenant You're too quiet! Shout from within!
Fujinami Police Lieutenant Ikuo Miwa
You forgot your bag! Fujinami Police Lieutenant Ikuo Miwa
You forgot your bag!
Hey! You forgot your bag! Hey!
Stop!
What's wrong?
That guy just now put this here.
Let's see.
Back away.
I'm a cop. Please get away from here.
Line up!
Osu!
Every run and gather at that gate!
Osu!
It's dangerous! Everyone get away!
Get away! Get away!
It's dangerous! Move away! Move away!
Run away! Run away!
Get away! Run!
Get down!
That was amazing.
Amazing!
Hey! Hey! That went well! Hey!
For starters.
Run away! Run away!
The views on the internet keep going up and up.
It's on TV too.
Bomb chaos thwarted by bystander detective's snap judgment, leaving no one injured.
Detective Miwa, protecting the citizens and risking his life, is so cool.
He's cool! He's cool!
Once a hero, the more he'll be attacked when a scandal comes out.
People love hating the people they've praised.
There was such a loud sound, water sprayed everywhere.
But because that detective was there, no one was hurt.
And kids were calmly sent away from danger.
I'm so glad that detective happened to be close to the scene.
Fujinami Police Deparment's 59 year old Detective Miwa,
happened to be on site and threw the bomb into a fountain.
So that's what happened.
Thank you for your help.
What's with that detective?
Hm?
No matter who we ask, there's no dirt on him.
He's honest and happily married.
That's why we're going door to door in the area he used to live.
Even before he was transferred, his neighbors thought highly of him.
He's popular with the kids from the karate dojo.
Maybe there's nothing we can use.
No. There's got to be something.
No one lives a painless life.
If we can just find a weakness in his heart, we can break through.
And then? What else is going on?
With the final goal, the Nishina family.
I'm not going to contact Kaede for a while.
She'll reach out to me.
When that happens, I'll be a step closer.
I see.
I used to live here.
In this town.
I hate lies.
So I don't want you to lie.
I won't. I promise.
I was grabbed and my mom said something...
You shouldn't lie, Yoichi.
The murderer....
is my dad.
I hate him the most.
Who?
Even though he knew the murderers,
he forced 9 year old me
to lie and say that it was a murder suicide.
To say my father was the murderer.
It's him I want to ruin completely using my own hands.
I want to see him miserable and crying.
Koichi...
There's no way to keep your hands clean.
There must be something we can use.
War of Lies
Isn't that it?
Family history is engraved on the stone.
This is old school, but there should be some information buried here.
What's wrong?
Saori.
Showa Year 63. Age of death, 1.
Someone comes here regularly.
Saori Miwa, died a year old. I can use this.
It's your turn to see hell,
detective.
Wait! But Saori! Give her back!
I have nothing to say to you!
Saori is my daughter. Even if we divorce...
Saori is going to live with me!
Screw you!
Stop it!
This has nothing to do with you!
I'll call the police!
I am the police!
Do you want to go to Fujinami station?
Saori is living with me.
I've already decided.
Wait! Stop!
Hey!
You're really hated.
Yuuichi Ishiki?
Except I'm unemployed right now.
Welcome!
Who is Saori?
Your daughter?
She just turned a one the other day. She's very cute.
If you've decided your order...
They are cute.
You any kids?
I actually have a daughter with the same name.
Really? Her name is Saori?
This is how we spell it.
The spelling is the same.
Really?
How old is she?
She died when she was one.
She was sick.
It's a story from 30 years ago.
Let's drink then!
You get me.
I do.
Keep it coming. Cheers!
Where do you live?
Do you need a taxi?
No one to go home to.
It's fine. I can sleep here.
It can't be helped.
Come on.
I'm fine here.
Get up.
I said I'm fine here.
So strange...
Where is it?
Dropping your phone. You drank too much.
Look.
Good morning.
Morning.
Drink some warm tea and then eat breakfast.
Thanks, but I need to go home.
You have a daughter named Saori?
Yes.
What a coincidence, having the same name.
There's a lot of troubles right now,
you can't give up.
Ishiki, join me and eat.
Here you go.
Thank you for the meal.
Any ways, where is my phone?
Did I drop it somewhere?
At the bar?
This crack detective's cellphone would fetch a high price.
Just do what Koichi asked.
Got it.
Is this yours?
Yes.
Where did you find it?
The newspaper sent it.
The person who found it looked at the pictures,
spread them online, and kindly informed the press.
Pictures?
Of what?
Don't play dumb!
Bomb chaos hero,
taking photos of boys changing.
It's blowing up online and in the news.
Can we ask you some questions?
Was teaching karate just so he could take those pictures?
My son...
The person who picked up the cellphone uploaded the pictures to social media.
The media were sent these, and this incident was uncovered.
Reports say that the cellphone was found with the secretly taken photos of the children's changing room.
Stories are coming out questioning if the whole "bomb chaos" was just an act.
His next target?
The first time I saw it, I laughed so hard.
But here,
Children are a joy.
Let's try this.
No, I'll pass.
Really?
Ishiki?
He's worried, so he dropped by.
Sorry to intrude.
I should be minding my own business.
You really saved me.
The press were out front,
Ishiki chased them off for me.
I'm sorry.
I owed you for drinking with me last night.
And? What happened?
I don't know.
Was the phone they found really yours?
Yeah.
But those photos...
Is there anyone who'd have a grudge?
It's the job. Tons of groups hold grudges.
It's probably someone good with the internet and phones.
There's a stalker I arrested like that last year.
Let's look for him. I'll help you.
I can't.
There's nothing to do while I'm unemployed.
When I'm by myself at home, all I can think about is Saori.
Please let me help.
Thank you Ishiki.
Is it the press again?
Who do you work for? Those photos are...
I'm Nishina.
In the past, my father was indebted to you.
I want to talk about something.
The incident from 30 years ago.
Leave!
What's going on is probably related.
Leave!
But!
The Nishina family,
I don't want anything to do with you all.
Do you have a visitor?
I understand.
I'll check in another time.
President? What's going on?
For a moment, I thought Ichinose had come here.
But he's not a man to wear cheap, dirty shoes.
Was I mistaken?
Welcome!
Thanks for waiting.
Welcome.
A coffee.
Yes.
Really?
I come all the way out here and you can't even have lunch with me?
I have a conference right after this.
So you wanted advice?
About what Kaede?
What do you think of Mr. Ichinose?
Welcome.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Huh?
Would you have a seat?
I'm sorry. I wanted advice and he came.
Advice?
I'll cut to the chase.
What do you think of my sister?
What?
What are your intentions?
This is rare.
It's always work with you. You don't talk like other guys.
Wait a minute.
I'm glad. I also want to ask for your advice.
About Dr. Nishina.
What?
I'm not fit for a lady of her background.
That is... I hate that it appears like I'd be seeing her for money.
But what?
But I can't help how I feel.
Do you love her?
Yes. Very much.
After I was stabbed and almost died, the moment I opened my eyes,
that moment I saw her face, I thought so.
I don't know why.
But you didn't even know anything about me...
Because I don't know, I want to spend my life getting to know you.
Until marriage, I want to get to know you.
Koichi...
You are a trustworthy man.
Didn't I tell you?
It's okay to trust this guy.
Koichi, my future brother in law?
Let's celebrate!
Excuse me!
Yes?
Do you have champagne?
I'll bring a bottle.
Thank you!
Come again.
Thank you.
And closed for the day.
Is Koichi with the detective today?
Today he's on a date with Nishina's daughter.
Seems he teased her and she called him.
So he's making progress.
He's going to join the Nishina family soon.
Another!
Don't tell me you like him?
I do not.
That was fast.
You don't have to immediately deny it like that.
He tricked me first.
I was aimlessly wandering Thailand after I left Japan.
He asked me if I'd like to invest in real estate.
Did you?
Give him money?
He played you.
I handed over the money and he disappeared.
So I went to look for him at a hotel in Bangkok.
I found you.
You tricked me.
You're a con artist.
So what? You going to go to the cops?
They're not going to help you.
I don't care about the cops.
I don't care about my money.
So teach me.
How to be a pro at fooling people.
You want to be a con artist?
Forget it.
My dad fell for an investment fraud.
My mom gets played by men over and over.
I have no interest in sob stories.
I hate it!
I hate living a life being fooled.
So take me with you,
to a life of conning others.
From apprentice to partner....
This is the best relationship, so I don't plan to change it.
No more, no less.
Stop with karate class?
Until your cleared of suspicion,
we can't trust you with our kids,
He's the peeping detective.
So embarrassing.
Ishiki.
He continued to stalk his ex-girlfriend.
He severely injured her and I arrested him.
One month ago,
he got out of prison and started living up here.
Let's keep trying until morning.
Ishiki...
We need to hurry and find the culprit and clear your name.
Here.
You can go home.
I said I'd stay with you until the last train.
The way to steal a target's judgment, is to stop them from sleeping.
If you create a situation where they haven't slept for days,
even the most level headed person will lose the ability to clearly judge.
Excuse me.
A man has being going out with Detective Miwa since last week.
That's all I could learn from his wife.
Who?
I don't know.
Just, there's something else to worry about.
We should go home. He's not coming.
You can't give up.
One more day and we can find the culprit,
and punish him.
Punish?
When I was a boy,
I told a horrible lie.
Even though it was a lie I never should've told.
Now my wife and child have left me alone...
Is this is my punishment for that lie?
I sometimes ask myself that.
What lie did you tell?
Do you want to know?
No. I don't.
People all have things they don't want to talk about.
That's true.
Punishment?
And when your target is physically and mentally worn out,
take advantage of their limited state.
Miwa...
I know.
Those two have been following us.
Let's go.
Damn it. They're getting away.
Who are you working for?
What are you saying?
Stop! What are you doing?
We're Weekly Zero!
Detective Miwa, I'll be taking footage of your violent outrage.
Honey...
You should take today off,
and properly rest.
And think about the tabloid issue.
Tabloid?
It's a bit bad.
What happened dear?
He's not to blame.
We were followed and photographed,
and he hit one pretty badly.
He did?
Really, honey?
Leave me alone.
Call them right away,
and properly apologize.
Are you saying it's my fault?
Screw you!
He's tired.
Lately I just let him sleep and help out.
Yet even though he's not someone who yells, he's always angry.
It might be better for him to be alone for two or three days.
What?
Your wife is going to stay with her family for a little while.
It seems the press are going to get worse in the coming days.
I understand.
You've helped me.
Not at all.
Me too.
I also have a sin I committed in the past.
What was it?
Related to an investigation.
I obstructed the investigation and covered up evidence.
Could this be my punishment for that?
I have to get to work now.
Why don't you just take a day off?
Miwa.
Let's take a quick break.
There's a delicious coffee place.
Go ahead. I'm going to buy some cigarettes.
Him!
I heard a camera. I think he took pictures.
Can we speak?
Excuse me.
May I please see your phone?
I didn't do anything.
Really?
This! It was this phone!
That isn't mine...
Why would you have a phone that isn't yours?
Look here.
Come with me.
Why?
Why are you doing this?
What?
But you're...
Aren't you Ishiki's wife?
Saori is living with me.
What are you saying?
Take him to the police!
Yes ma'am.
Ishiki!
Where are you Ishiki?!
Come here!
I didn't take those pictures!
What are you saying?
You shouldn't lie, sir.
I was grabbed and my mom said something...
You shouldn't lie, Yoichi.
When I was a boy,
I told a horrible lie.
Even though it was a lie I never should've told.
He can't be...
The murderer...
is my dad.
From then...
Officers! Here!
Stop!
He wants you to kill yourself.
I may be able to help you.
Will you come with me?
Those involved in the incident 30 years ago,
are being targeted one after another.
The same is likely happening to you.
What do you know about the past?
When I took over for my father,
he told me everything.
You forgive them?
Your dad and everyone else?
People... all have their burdens to bear.
When I took his seat as president,
I assumed his sins.
Do you know a man named Koichi Ichinose?
No.
Has this man approached you?
We've been expecting you.
Excuse me.
It's rare for you to call me here.
What? Kaede?
I was called here too..
Hey, what's going on?
Ever since you've appeared, strange things continue to happen.
The attack at my father's party.
Our family lawyer, Rokutanda's downfall.
Takashi?
What is your motive behind getting close to Akira and Kaede?
Motive? Why do you say that?
I don't know.
That's what I want to ask about now.
Excuse us.
Please.
Mr. Miwa,
this is Koichi Ichinose.
The name he gave you was a fake one.
Is that correct?
What exactly is going on?
Takashi? Who is this man?
His next target.
The secret photography scandal, destroyed this man's life.
This is a misunderstanding.
I've worked for many years as a detective.
I never forget a face.
Even if their clothes or name change.
That's settled then.
No.
You're wrong.
I've never met this man before.
This is the first time I've met this man.
Why are you saying that?
Your life is ruined and it's all because of this man's lies!
No, what's happening is a result of my doing.
Are you confessing to taking those pictures?
It's my punishment.
For a sin I committed in the past.
My daughter,
was born with heart problems,
she wasn't selected for a heart transplant.
And he said he could arrange for a transplant in the US.
And for that reason, I commited that sin.
You shouldn't lie, Yoichi.
However... in the end, we didn't make it in time for the operation.
Saori was only 1 year old.
I committed a great sin.
A sin I can never take back.
So this is my punishment.
I'm sorry you were mistaken for someone else and called out here.
It's fine.
I'm so very sorry.
I'm sorry!
I'm glad we could resolve the misunderstanding.
Because I hate being called a liar.
Are we done here? I have work.
Do you think this is over?
I'm sorry. My brother was very rude...
I'm mad at him.
To call you here and say all those things...
What was he thinking?
I want to cut ties with my family.
Cut your ties?
From the start, I can't approve of my father and brother's business methods.
Don't say that so easily!
I want to, but I can never see my family again.
Do you know how hard it is to be alone, with no one to count on?
Don't just say you want to cut ties!
I'm sorry.
You just reminded me of my little sister.
You had a little sister?
She was only five when she died,
but she was adorable.
So I understand how Takashi feels.
I wouldn't want to hand over my precious sister to a management consultant,
who suddenly appeared and I know nothing about his background.
That's...
I don't want you to say bad things about Takashi.
Businessmen are lonely.
He has to act tough.
But I don't think he's a bad guy.
It's fine.
It takes time to gain trust.
Thank you.
Are you free?
I like to relax here.
Isn't it beautiful?
But it's a bit cold.
Just for a little while...
Ichinose...
How is he related to Yoichi Chiba?
I see...
Even Miwa?
Yes.
Even with what's happening,
when push comes to shove,
Takashi can't be made to do the dirty work.
The incident from 30 years ago,
I'll end it.
Mr. Momota asked if we're done.
Even though we played that detective, we didn't even make a single yen.
It's not over.
It's only just beginning.
Hello? Kaede?
Good morning.
It's Takashi Nishina.
Have you ever seen this man before?
I want to know who this man is.
It's the same as killing them yourself!
Those involved with the Chiba incident are being trapped.
A marriage con artist...
I would never do anything illegal.
She has a considerable amount saved up.
Shijou, your hell begins now.
Soon it'll be you, Chairman Nishina.
