Nishina...
Hearing the recording with the truth behind the murder of his family,
Koichi Ichinose plots revenge against the mastermind behind it, Kozo Nishina.
A confession and despair.
I want those two things from Kozo Nishina.
Takashi obtains proof Koichi is a con artist.
Driven into a corner, Koichi finally reveals his identity and the sins of the Nishina family.
Why'd you involve her when she knew nothing!?
My little brother didn't know anything either!
While getting revenge against the real murderer, Muguruma,
Koichi learns his murdered father entrusted evidence
to his father figure, Mamoru.
Despite knowing everything, you just watched by until I lied?!
I did whatever it took to protect my family.
It's going to be easy to send him to hell.
Kaede?
It appears she hasn't left work.
I'm sorry. Takashi has an important meeting...
It's fine.
Hi!
Don't go, Sakura.
Hi, Sakura.
Congratulations on being discharged.
Please be careful around Ichinose.
He's an enemy of the Nishina family.
The car is this way. Let's go, Rie.
No.
Leave us.
What?
I want to talk to him.
Father...
What is it you want?
Let's see...
First, will you hold a press conference to apologize?
Announce your lie from 30 years ago and apologize.
Say you ordered the murder of my father, my mother, and my brother.
We'll start there.
How foolish.
What's the point?
If you don't want to, I'll upload the recording.
I thought you were a smarter man than that.
It'd deliver a blow to the Nishina family if it got out.
And there's one other thing...
I know the major secret.
If that were to come to light, Nishina Corporation would be finished for good.
You're bluffing.
A damn con artist.
Feel free to believe me or not.
First, you should take it easy and rest.
I'll contact you soon.
Let's go with this plan.
Okay?
Yes, this one.
Understood.
Is it okay?
It's fine! I told you to not worry.
It's beautiful.
It really is.
That's Mamoru Sanpei's greatest weakness.
Since the divorce, it's been years since he's seen his daughter, Yumiko Nanasawa.
You're really planning to go after Mamoru?
So my dad did give you the evidence?
I thought over and over that I should tell the police.
Of course.
He was really there for you as a kid though.
Her fiancee, Yousuke Yamaki, comes from a bureaucratic family.
They opposed him marrying a woman who didn't attend college and he fought for her.
What are you planning?
If the father she hasn't seen for years
destroys the engagement they fought so hard for...
She'll resent him the rest of his life.
You serious?
Attacking your mark's greatest weakness?
A fundamental of cons.
I get it.
You do this alone.
I can't help you with this one.
That so?
Ichinose came to the hospital?
Yes.
What did he say?
To apologize.
If we don't comply, he said he'd upload the tape to the internet.
And there's something else.
He says he knows another secret.
What?
I don't know.
Just that for Nishina Corporation...
It'd be over.
He can't know about the accounting fraud?
We overstated our profits.
That's.... accounting fraud!
Akira?
If that gets out now...
Except...
I can take care of the recording.
You can?
Yes.
I'll handle this.
One way or another.
I'm sorry, but we're still...
It's dangerous, coming here suddenly.
It'd be bad for Koichi to catch us.
I don't have time.
Can you do what we talked about now?
Right now?
What's going on?
What's this?
Business.
What?
This time we'll trick him.
Ichinose.
Welcome. Please, this way.
I'm Ichinomiya, a lawyer.
But it's been years since I've seen my dad.
I know.
Since your father and I go way back, I wanted to speak with you.
He's always wanted to see you.
That's why I think he was tricked.
What?
It's called a bank transfer scam.
Your father received a call and he believed it was from you.
He heard you were in an accident and transferred all his money.
What?
There were many transfers, making it difficult to recover his money.
Why was he fooled?
He's an idiot.
They think so too.
Many victims blame themselves.
As soon as they realized it's a scam, they call themselves idiots.
Your father's the same.
After blaming themselves,
there are many victims who turn to suicide.
That's what is scary about bank transfer scams.
Suicide?
Will you make just one call?
But...
You don't have to say anything about the scam, just make small talk.
That'd do him more good than anything else.
And?
What are you going to do now about the chairman?
Make him apologize.
But I've got to do something before then.
Really? What's that?
Don't worry. I'll do it alone.
Okay.
You still serious?
I told you.
It's natural for con artists to betray and be betrayed.
But really?
Awhile back, I took Koichi's mark.
Seriously?
Yeah.
I thought I got away with it.
But a month later, my best mark was stolen from me.
Right after that, Koichi flew to Thailand.
So it was...?
Probably him.
He's known from the start we can't trust each other.
We're all liars.
There's no hard feelings once it's over.
You want to be a con artist, right?
Then be more deceitful.
Did you talk to anyone about the accounting fraud?
No way.
Well, I wonder...
Lately, I can't remember anything but this.
What? Did I do something again?
No.
Why didn't you say anything about 30 years ago?
There's no way you could keep it a secret.
I finally understand.
The reason you suddenly changed when you became president.
In my place...
You took the burden of our sins.
And yet...
I knew nothing.
I'm sorry.
That's enough.
No, it isn't.
I don't want to be this pitiful.
If that's the case...
Will you help me?
Akira, will you help me?
I want to turn Ichinose over to the police.
I need your evidence to build a case for the 20 million yen fraud.
Mine?
Yes.
With our own hands, we'll put that con artist behind bars.
Hello. This is Sanpei.
Hello.
It's me.
Yumiko?
Yeah.
Yumiko?
What's wrong for you to call me?
Are you doing well?
So young.
What's that?
Oh, this?
Yumiko called. She said she's getting married.
Memories came flooding back.
That's great. Let me see.
Huh?
This?
Oh, that's your dad.
This is you.
Do you remember?
Yumiko had just been born, that's Taiki.
I took that photo.
She was born the same year as Taiki?
She was born four months after Taiki.
And you and Yumiko...
And this...
From when we were in med school.
That's your dad, and that's me.
I was pretty weak around this time.
I'd always get stomach aches before tests,
and your dad would make me rice porridge.
I probably only became a doctor thanks to your dad.
Even so I...
You really can't forgive me, can you?
I haven't been able to forgive myself for the last 30 years.
That's enough about the past. When's the wedding?
I don't know.
Huh? You don't know?
You're not attending?
It can't be helped.
I'm disqualified as her father.
I'll get some tea.
Can we really build a fraud case against Ichinose with this?
After your testimony, the police will make their move.
Isn't that correct?
It is.
That's all for today.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ichinose will be arrested and pay for his crimes.
But me...
The crime I committed 30 years ago...
How do I make up for that?
Her parents are dead.
She had no siblings.
So I can't even apologize.
The present is more important than the past.
Ichinose's arrest depends on you.
I'm counting on you.
I understand.
Ichinose...
I'll do whatever it takes.
Your injury?
It won't impact the job.
Takashi looks to be handling the recording.
Ichinose will be arrested soon.
You're going to let the police handle this?
No.
They can't, can they?
At any rate, I'll give the order.
Until then, take care of that.
He's dangerous.
Kaede.
You okay?
There's no way you'd be.
Don't worry.
I'm not really hurt.
I didn't really love him.
I wasn't seriously thinking about marriage.
Kaede...
You're a horrible liar.
Leave me alone.
I'm turning him in.
Ichinose.
What?
Takashi is gathering proof of the fraud.
He said after my testimony, Ichinose can be arrested.
Look,
I can't forgive him.
He hurt you.
But the police?
I'll take care of him.
I started this.
That's why...
Forget about him.
Everything.
Forget him.
Okay?
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Oh, Yumiko.
Hello.
Hi...
I actually have an upcoming wedding.
Really? A bank transfer scam?
Why didn't you tell me?
Because he abandoned us.
Abandoned?
No, he was divorced.
As far back as I can remember, he was rarely home.
Even though he said he'd be back for my birthdays,
that was also a lie.
Christmas and New Years too.
But he was a doctor right? He was busy with work.
I thought so too. So I accepted it.
Your mother?
She's passed away.
As the head of a children home, your father loves the children dearly.
He often says he wants to see you too.
I don't believe you.
If he really abandoned you, why would he'd fall for a bank transfer scam?
Yes, I think the same thing.
Let's meet with your father.
You're going to meet her?
Yeah. Along with her fiancee and his family.
We're to meet once and have a meal.
Aren't you glad?
I am, but...
It's been so long since I've seen her.
Koichi...
What should I wear?
Let's see...
Is that too bright?
That makes you look older.
This is really embarrassing.
No, this is great. It suits you.
Really?
You still have Igarashi's pictures?
The erotic pics from Thailand?
I do.
I want you to replace Igarashi's face with someone else.
Use this man's face on all of them.
Gotcha.
Put them on my computer when you're done.
I'm sorry Koichi, but could you come here?
Give me a hand.
Huh?
I'll hold it.
These are good.
If you really look you can tell they're photo-shopped.
They're fine. The first impression is what's important.
You're not wearing the ring anymore.
I threw it away.
Of course.
What do you want?
You're his partner in crime, aren't you?
I guess.
It was a lie that I was his ex.
I'm just his partner.
Is that so?
I'm sorry, but I have nothing to say to you.
I hate Koichi as he is right now.
I thought he came back to Japan to settle his past.
So I helped him.
But Koichi...
In getting his revenge, he's trapped in the past.
He's deceiving the person who took care of him...
And?
Why did you come to see me?
Can you persuade him for me?
Tell him to stop already.
But I'm the daughter of his number one enemy.
You are.
And you still ask me?
I know!
It's an unusual request.
The last thing I want is to ask a favor from you.
But I have no choice.
With Koichi as he is now, there's no one else that can do anything!
Koichi.
I was surprised you called.
I know the answer.
I thought I'd tell you.
The answer?
Do you remember back then?
What should I have done?
Other than lie?
What else could I have done?
I met with Dr. Igarashi.
What?
He told me.
He said if you hadn't lied 30 years ago,
you would've been killed too.
You can't forgive yourself from back then.
Can you?
What?
You can't forgive yourself for lying and giving in to the adults.
I don't really...
Forgive yourself.
You did the right thing back then.
I'm won't say I want you to forgive my father and brother.
But...
Forgive yourself.
Forgive 9 year old Yoichi Chiba.
Since that lie saved your life.
Even more...
Just for a moment, your lies saved me.
I wish you would've fooled me the rest of my life.
How's Akira?
I don't know.
I haven't seen him.
Oh, really?
You're a horrible liar.
Alright!
What's that?
Hm?
Pei, you're all dressed up.
It's principal. Hey, stop that! Don't pull!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Hey! Stop it you brats!
It's an important day for him.
But he's all strange.
He's not. Come on, get to school. Go.
Go on!
We wanna know.
Take care!
It'll be fine. It suits you.
Her fiancee works in the ministry of education and his father's a minister of health official and
And I haven't seen my daughter in forever.
I'm really nervous.
I told you. It'll be fine.
Yeah, well...
I'm off.
Alright!
Good luck!
Thanks.
Yumiko.
It's been a long time. Hasn't it?
I'm Yousuke Yamaki. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Now, this way.
Yes.
I apologize for meeting you only now.
I'm Mamoru Sanpei.
You worked as a doctor, but why are now at a children home?
That's because....
When I see these kids, I just can't leave them alone.
While it may be true that I neglected my family, it wasn't right.
I'm sorry I was a horrible father.
After her mother passed away,
she worked hard by herself.
I know it's coming from me...
but she's a wonderful girl.
Please take care of my daughter.
I think the same.
Please watch over us.
Father.
I'm sorry.
I'm nervous and just became so thirsty.
Koichi?
It's because I'm Sanpei,
they call me Pei.
Really?
"It's principal."
What were you like as a boy, Yousuke?
That's your father and this is me.
We have a reservation at the restaurant upstairs.
Excuse me for a minute.
There's someone I know.
The restaurant is on the 5th floor?
I'm sorry. I'll be up soon.
Koichi!
Why are you here?
I thought I'd throw these.
If the marriage proposal was called off,
I thought you'd never be able to see your daughter again.
Why didn't you?
I betrayed your dad's trust.
And for 30 years,
I continued to lie to you.
Of course, you can't forgive me.
Protecting my daughter...
It was an excuse. I was really just afraid.
Would I be killed?
I was afraid.
But you came.
You were with me for my birthday.
That's because...
Christmas and New Years too.
But I knew!
I knew you weren't a liar.
Even though...
Even though I was the only one who knew...
Even I...
Excuse me.
Your father...
He's lied to me forever.
What?
Even though he had a family he wanted to go home to,
he never said a word.
I just found out...
...our birthdays are the same.
I was also born on March 15th.
I'd lost my entire family.
I was alone.
I didn't have friends at the children home,
but your father would celebrate with me.
Happy Birthday Dear Yoichi
Happy Birthday to you
Happy birthday, Yoichi.
Now let's cut the cake.
Whoops.
Oh, but it's fine. It'll taste the same.
See, it's fine.
I'm so clumsy.
Even though he should have gone home to be with you,
but since he was friends with my dad...
he didn't.
But...
His lying saved me.
Why didn't you tell us?
He didn't want to involve you.
Because my family was murdered.
I'm sorry.
For borrowing your father for so long.
Koichi.
I'm okay now.
Let's go back, dad.
Thank you, Yumiko.
Good job.
You've been watching?
I just happened to be around.
Sure.
I'm ending it.
Huh?
Shall we go home to Thailand once this is done?
It'll be fun to go to another country and think of a new con.
Yeah, it sounds fun.
It's all over.
Kozo Nishina is done.
An American invention technology company is watching us.
What an honor.
Be careful about letting out any information.
The clinical trial preparations at the medical university are in order.
Great.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, president...
President.
Leave us.
Yes, sir.
Within 12 hours.
You have 12 hours to hold a conference to apologize.
My father just got out of the hospital.
But he can already talk, right?
He's lucky there were no ill side-effects.
And if we refuse?
I release it to the world.
The sins of your father from 30 years ago.
Give him my regards.
Everything was by your order?
That's right.
It was my order.
I'll put this online in 12 hours.
And if there's a press conference?
He can't.
More like he can't apologize.
That's the kind of man he is.
With this and the accounting fraud...
There's no way the banks or shareholders will stay quiet.
Right.
This is the end.
For Nishina Corporation.
What are you going to do?
I can handle the recording.
But if word of the accounting fraud gets out...
It's likely a bluff. I don't think he has proof.
No need for a press conference.
I see. That's right.
No.
Call one.
Let's have a press conference.
Chairman.
Let's do what he wants.
Let's have a press conference.
I hate lies.
So I don't want you to ever lie.
Smile! Smile!
Alright! Say cheese!
Dad....
Mom!
Mom?
Taiki!
There's a press conference!
There's a live stream and TV networks are there.
Thank you all for gathering here today.
I apologize for my appearance.
The other day, I collapsed from illness.
The reason I've gathered you here today...
There is something I wanted to directly apologize for in my own words.
I....
There's a crime that I regret from the very bottom of my heart.
That crime...
...happened while I was still president.
Foreign medical equipment manufacturers were putting pressure on us.
Nishina Corporation fell into the red.
And I lied.
We were afraid of not receiving financing from the banks,
and manipulated the books.
The order was given to adjust the records.
At that time...
I alone, gave that order. It is my crime.
The current president was not involved.
Why am I sharing this now?
That's because...
A man was threatening us over this.
He proclaimed to be a management consultant.
He more than threatened us.
He tricked us out of 20 million yen from our subsidiary, Nishina Catheter.
Please confirm.
Yes.
That's right.
It's this USB.
There's no doubt. It's from Koichi Ichinose.
Alright, let's go.
Yes, sir.
We'll leave this matter to the police.
He should be arrested soon.
Koichi...
Here, today...
I confess my crime.
I take responsibility.
In addition to resigning as chairman,
I want to announce the current president's new project.
This was developed with the intent of entering the medical assistance robot market.
Nishina.
If you're going to do that...
Do you want to delete the file?
File deleted.
Huh? What happened?
Remote access?
But I have a copy.
This folder is empty.
Why?
I don't know.
But the person that could do this...
Has everything really been erased?
Kazuki?
There are no recordings.
Everything was erased from here too.
Then?
I'm sorry Koichi, but could you help me fix this?
I'll hold it.
Damn it!
And this is the master tape.
You still don't believe me?
Shall we wait a bit?
If there's still a copy of the tape somewhere, Koichi will upload it.
He'd play it for that audience.
That's fine. You'll get your money if there's nothing after an hour.
Kazuki, you're done. Go home.
Sure.
I'll see you out.
Oh, where's the bathroom?
This way.
No, it's okay! It's okay!
I can handle a bathroom by myself!
Later!
Please still work.
Koichi! Koichi!
Damn it! Damn it!
Koichi!
Jounan police.
We'd like to speak with Koichi Ichinose.
Ichinose? Who is that?
Koichi! Koichi!
So the bird knows him?
She just repeats what she just hears.
Koichi! Koichi!
Can we look around?
Stop!
Ichinose!
Stop Ichinose!
Hey!
Ichinose! Stop!
Stop! Hey, stop!
Stop Ichinose!
Stop Ichinose! Stop!
Ichinose!
I'll end this the way a con artist would.
Stop playing!
I have to end it.
I hate you.
Who killed my family?
Stop this now!
Ichinose!
