Please help us, Potato Uncle.
You intentionally drove Akane Houjou into debt just
so you could cut off her welfare.
A lot of people pretend to be poor.
I just wanted to get rid of the leachers.
If you don't do right by the Houjou family,
your kids will find out what you really are.
A man has died at a
restaurant in Yokohama.
That's the guy that deceived Airi-san's mom.
According to the Police,
Kurai was dining alone last night...
What the hell?
Senkawa?
-They said it was an accident. - That was quick.
Can we have a minute? We're the police.
We're investigating the death of a man in a restaurant in Yokohama.
He may have been murdered. Do you recognize any of these men?
- Can't say I have. - Don't think so.
You don't want it?
Why are you three suspects?
Hell if I know. Must've left a big clue behind.
Threat Shop Hideout
Sloppy!
What if...
What if Kurai's kids told the cops?
They could've said they saw three salty dudes with their dad.
OMG! We're in big trouble!
This never happened to us before.
It's your fault.
Hang on! That's not true!
Since you arrived, we've had lots of trouble.
- You're poison! - That's horrible to say!
- Let's check out the situation. - OK.
Senkawa-san, I'll go with you guys.
A pest shouldn't follow us.
Do you need help with anything?
Go away.
Keihan Yokohama Hospital
Mio's recovery hospital
Isn't that awful?
They blamed the newcomer. It's power harassment!
More than your whining,
I'm worried Senkawa-san is being framed
for murder.
You flat out rejected me. This is too much!
Please do your pouting later.
Wasn't the caseworker's death an accident?
I think so.
Well!
Their usual dubious behavior makes them suspects.
If they're arrested, all their bad deeds
will be exposed. It'll be serious!
What's Senkawa-san gonna do?
Senkawa-san?
- Airi-san! - Potato Uncle!
- Morning. - Morning.
You look good.
Did you cut your hair?
He cast me out, and now he's going on a date?
Furthermore, he knows you're a patient here.
What a piece of work.
To top it off, they already look like a family.
What's wrong?
Seems I was worrying for no reason.
From now on, I will threaten you

- What do want me to draw? - A rabbit!
Episode 7
A rabbit? OK!
Looks like Airi-san is doing much better.
Thanks to you.
Um...Senkawa-san,
I'm really sorry about before.
I've been deceived by enough men who said they'd help me.
At the time, Kindness was not in my heart.
But now, I'm finally feeling at ease again.
That's good to hear.
But why are you here today?
Airi-san isn't injured is she?
I've been volunteering for The Raindrop Foundation.
Hold on. Hold on.
Let's choose which one's the best.
Airi and I are currently living at their facility.
Everyone is so kind.
I see. That's a relief then.
Why are you here today?
I'm here about Kurai-san, your caseworker.
Do you know he passed away?
I was shocked.
I didn't see it coming.
There's a chance it was not an accident.
Seems like it.
The police came to my house.
They showed me drawings of three suspects.
Really?
Can I get you something to drink?
How'd your secret date with Airi's mom go?
- What? - Don't play dumb.
You met Airi-san's mom at the hospital, right?
You followed me?
No, I went to visit Mio-san.
You sure looked at home with Airi-san.
A perfect papa... - I went-
You know Mio-san is there, yet haven't shown your face? How cruel!
I was working.
Kurai cut off Akane Houjou's welfare on his own.
Isn't it strange to hold a grudge?
You should've said so.
Mio got all angry when she saw you.
Why?
She must feel lonely.
When she gets out, lets throw her a party!
A party? Ugh!
- Am I invited? - Shut it!
Oh! Some salt, quick!
Yes!
Here.
Bastard! What the hell?!
It's not even salt!
Sorry! Sorry! Whose funeral was it?
Kurai's.
My deepest sympathy.
How did you know him?
Kurai-san was...
We were high school classmates.
So... the baseball team?
Yes, that's it.
We shed tears and sweat together.
- Really? - Yes.
What was the cause of his death?
He had a weak heart, but he
died from...an electric shock.
What a way to go!
I'll take my leave.
- I'm certain his sons are fed up with us. - What about the wife?
She was inconsolable with grief.
Doesn't seem like there's reason to suspect her.
I looked into the police investigation. Seems they're looking at it from both sides.
It'd save us a lot of trouble if it's declared an accident.
For now, we have no choice but to visit the crime scene.
- I'll join you! - Look kid,
I won't be trouble. I'll prove my worth.
HEARTBEAT BEEF RESTAURANT
Scene of the Incident
This is the place.
Temporarily Closed
Is the restaurant open yet?
Sorry not yet.
I understand.
- Must be difficult. - It is.
What kind of accident was it?
I'm really sorry, my boss said I can't talk about it.
- If you could share just a few details. - I'm sorry, but can you guys leave?
It takes 3 minutes for the sand to fall. Will you keep me company till then?
- My name is Sunao. And you are? - Not that again.
Kobashi Momoka, but...
Are you an April baby, Momoka-san?
How did you know?
That's when momoka are in full bloom.
(peach blossoms)
You must be a loyal daughter... just as your parents hoped,
you bloomed like a delicate peach blossom.
But today shadows fall across the blossoms.
What happened?
Impressive. Let's go.
Will you listen to me?
Of course.
I feel a sense of responsibility for the accident.
Responsibility? Why?
Why do you feel a sense of responsibility?
If only I hadn't taken the day off,
it wouldn't have happened.
Can you tell us more about it?
- I'd like to hear more about it. - OK.
What's so persuasive about this guy?
Kurai-san was a regular and the window was his favorite.
But that night there was a class reunion and all the seats were taken.
So Kurai-san was asked to have his meal against the wall by the bar.
A the same time christmas lights were being installed.
A new guy was bringing water to the tables,
while the cook was using the oven and the stove at the same time,
causing a breaker to pop.
The restaurant went pitch black.
the new guy ran into the electrician,
drenching Kurai-san.
The electrician dropped the Christmas lights
which landed on Kurai-san.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, the cook reset the breaker.
And at that moment...
The electrician brought old
lights with exposed wires.
The voltage wasn't very high,
but Kurai-san's heart was not strong.
If I was here...
If only I didn't take a day off.
It wasn't your fault.
Thank you.
Who took the reservation for the class reunion?
The manager.
You couldn't say when I asked?
Momoka-san.
- What's going on? - Manager.
Ah, he's the manager?
- Leave it to me please. - Don't push your luck.
Who are you?
I want to ask a few questions about the accident.
My card.
Freelance Journalist NAKAMURA KOHEI
- A reporter? - Yes.
Rumor is that it was a murder.
I'm sorry, but it was just an unfortunate accident.
The police are treating it as a murder.
More ridiculous rumors, will cause problems.
My wife and I started this place. It's very close to my heart.
If I'm forced to close, I'll never be able to face my wife.
I feel somewhat sorry for him.
I was quite useful, wasn't I?
Are you upset?
Forget about it. Everyone has a type.
Being younger is also an advantage for me.
Anyway, we're off the hook. Clearly it was an accident.
This was definitely a murder. I'm certain.
What are you saying?
How do you know?
"Unexpected", "Unlucky" and "Coincidence"
Too many coincidences for this to be an accident.
Most likely whoever is involved with Kurai's death has been lying.
WAKABAYASHI
Suspect no. 1: The restaurant manager
He took the class reunion reservation.
Then he sat Kurai at the table by the wall.
Why murderer someone in your own beloved restaurant?
Somuchai
Suspect no. 2: The new part-timer
If he hadn't thrown the water,
Kurai wouldn't have died.
Is it possible to aim water?
YAMAOKA
Suspect no. 3: The electrician
If he hadn't dropped the lights, Kurai wouldn't have been electrocuted.
Also he brought old, defective lights.
MIZUKAWA
And finally suspect no. 4: The part-timer
After the electricity cut off, she turned it back on at the worst possible time.
Isn't that a stretch?
Every angle has to be considered.
That's the professional way.
So should we tell the police?
No! I'm going to threaten each and every one of them.
But no one has hired you for that.
I'm doing it to prove our innocence.
By threatening all of them,
we can find out which of them has been lying.
And,
find the real killer.
Mizukawa Yukie, from now I will threaten you.
You deliberately cut off the electricity that day.
Tell the truth! Otherwise,
I'll tell your husband that you're in debt to the owner, and even pawned your wedding ring.
Please don't!
If he finds out, he'll kill me!
Normally I have other duties, but
we were short-handed, so I worked in the kitchen.
I didn't know that using the stove
and oven together would cause a short!
Somuchai, I will threaten you now.
You intentionally splashed water on Kurai.
Tell me the truth! Otherwise,
I'll tell immigration your visa expired!
You can't please! I'm begging you!
Please keep it a secret!
The glass was too full!
It was bound to spill.
Yamaoka Shigeo, from now on I will threaten you.
You intentionally dropped the lights on Kurai.
Tell me what really happened! Otherwise,
I'll reveal the lie you told your son.
What lie?
The heroic tale of being
known as the "God of Death", feared by all yankees when your actual nickname was...
Skinny Bones!
Please don't do that!
That's a fathers pride!
The restaurant was a last minute job, so I grabbed some used lights. Dropping them was an accident.
That was exhausting.
BLUE DRAGON BAR
Seems all three suspects were coincidently involved with Kurai's death.
But none of them had a motive.
If it stays like this, you guys are done for.
- I'm honestly quite surprised. - 'bout what?
Because even ordinary people have secrets that they can be threatened with.
Of course they do. In order to get through life
people are bound to have one or two secrets.
Even I have secrets.
Like being divorced twice?
Robin, a quick word.
Senkawa-san, do you have a secret?
Something no one knows?
- Stop being stupid and do your job. - My job?
Go get more info about the manager from your girlfriend at the restaurant.
Really?!
Meguro, tail the cops. Tochiotome, scan the web for clues.
Got it.
- I'm gonna do my best! - Careful! Careful!
I'm gonna work hard.
Yes!
Tada! It's finally finished!
The first one ever is yours!
Say cheese!
So, how may I help you?
I really hate owing people.
So tell me your wish at once.
Protect my grandchild!
What's in it for me?
Anything you want!
You're here just for that?
Do not be conceited.
I had a meeting nearby.
So I dropped in.
I see. I'll be in touch.
While I'm on the subject, there's one more thing.
I'm very grateful to you guys for saving me.
I'm thanking you.
I don't wan't Mio to experience such a terrible situation again.
You understand?
Yes.
She'll be discharged soon.
Pay her a visit.
That is a threat.
If you don't,
I will kill you.
YOKOHAMA HOSPITAL
Let's pick the green one. Here we go.
One, two...
Do you know Houjou-san?
I'm Tominaga Ayako, Raindrop foundation's director.
I'm Mio Kanesaka.
I met her daughter Airi-san when she came to the ER.
I see.
Don't you think
they look like they're finally at peace?
Yes it does seem so.
They've been living at our facility since last week.
Eventually, I'd like Houjou-san to find a stable job
and be able to look after Airi on her own.
Till then, I'll support her.
That's wonderful.
It's not enough at all.
I myself am always feeling helpless.
Helpless? I think you're doing an amazing job.
Thank you.
Your words have encouraged me.
Director.
It's nearly time.
If you're ever interested, please visit us.
Even if it's just for a cup of tea.
There will be a lecture, please come.
Thank you very much.
- Senkawa-san? - Hi.
You're being discharged soon, right? I helped with your baggage.
Are you here to see Airi-san's mother?
What baloney did you brainwash Sunao with? Your granddad threatened me.
"Pay her a visit or I'll kill you."
In other words, you wouldn't be here
if you weren't threatened?
Exactly! I'm very busy right now.
I heard you're a wanted man.
"Wanted man", sounds like we're in an old movie.
You finally got enough rope to hang yourself?
That phrase is so OLD (Furui)!
Are you Furui the 14th?!
Are you under some curse to make stupid non-stop puns?
Such abusive words! Clearly you're not fully recovered.
Actually, my fever dropped thanks to your lame pun.
Well that's good then.
By the way,
while I'm on the subject...
I want to thank you for saving me.
I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart.
You're the same as your grandad.
He brought it up while "on the subject" too.
There's a Mio discharge party tonight.
- Come in. - Sorry to disturb.
OK. Go home. I'll call you later.
"When I'm well, I'd like to thank someone." Who?
Well I didn't specifically mention...
Momoko-chan!
Sorry I'm late.
I'm happy you wanted to see me again.
- There's some things I wanted to ask you. - You can ask me anything.
- It's about the manager, Wakabayashi. - Not about me?
I want to know everything about you! Even your work!
I'm glad! Ask away.
Is your manager a good person?
He's a really good person.
There must be something you dislike about him...
Not at all. He's a very gentle, honest person. He reminds me of his wife.
- He has a wife? - Yes.
But she passed away.
- She died? - Due to a horrible accident.
Someone on a motorbike grabbed her purse and dragged her down the street.
The manager said his birthday present...
was in her purse.
That's why his wife didn't let go of the bag.
So that's what happened.
When did this happen?
- Senkawa-san? - I was worried, so I followed you.
I said I'm fine on my own.
How many years since his wife died?
- I think around 7 years. - 7 years.
She's still at it.
Ask her if Kurai-san had anything to do with his wife's accident.
Do you think Kurai-san had anything to do with her death?
Mmm...When the wife was still alive,
Kurai never used to come to the store.
Enough about the manger. Ask about me now.
- Senkawa-san, that... - I'll talk about anything.
Everything?
Senkawa-san!
You're awful to leave me behind.
You seem popular with the girls.
- What are you doing? - We're preparing for Mio-san's party.
- We're having hand-rolled sushi . - No more investigation?
At the moment, we have no lead.
Don't make the wrong move waiting for the right time.
I...
know what really happened!
They were all in it together!
Accomplices?
I'm certain. They conspired to kill Kurai-san.
And then planned to cover it up.
Let's threaten them all at once! I'm sure they'll cave in.
I must be wrong.
Exactly! Stop spouting B.S. and help us prepare for the party.
OK.
Wait a minute.
That...could be a possibility.
- You should threaten them. - Me?
No way. I can't do it. Remember
I'm a pest. - He's right.
That's not true.
If you get in trouble,
I'll lend you a hand.
Really?
I'll do it! Leave it to me.
OK! Let's bring the suspects here.
I'm on it!
Coming.
- Discharge congratulations! - Congrats!
- Kan-chan, Paroko? - We're coming in.
We went to the hospital but they said you'd left.
- You should stay in touch! - Sorry.
Raindrop volunteers came to your hospital?
I spoke to Tominaga-san, the director,
she's a wonderful person.
The other day she gave a lecture at the university.
We were so impressed, we even bought her book.
I'd like to read it too.
So what's going on with that guy from your part time job?
The dreamy face guy.
Senkawa-san?
- Nothing's going on with him. - Surely that's not true.
He told us to tell you,
"You should quietly continue to make your red bean rice balls."
By that he meant to say, "Make red bean rice balls for me!"
You guys are getting ahead of yourselves.
He does look a bit casual, doesn't he?
He certainly is a bit frivolous.
But there's something under the surface.
I won't deny that he's a mysterious man.
- It's the good-at-handling-women vibe I get from him. - Yeah, that's it!
But Senkawa-san is the type of kind man that would never refuse
a request from a woman. Elderly or child.
But in no way does that mean he's accustomed to "handling" women.
You've changed Mio.
The day righteous Mio finally talks about a man has finally arrived!
I like this Mio quite a lot.
Really?
Is something developing between you two?
Not really.
But he's kind enough to throw a discharge party for me.
A party?! What are you going to wear?
It's not that kind of party. Just a small group gathering for dinner.
Doesn't matter! You gotta get psyched for this!
- That's right, I'm going to choose your outfit. - Me too!
Slow down! You can't rummage through my clothes!
- Something like this? - This one's pretty.
It's a little too bright.
- She can wear a jacket. - A jacket's good.
Underneath...white will blend well.
- Doesn't that look great? - You think?
Thank you for gathering here today.
- What the hell is this? - There's nothing to worry about.
From here on,
I will threaten all of you!
What happened at the the restaurant wasn't an accident, but a murder.
And you...
are the murders!
What on earth are you saying?
You know that was the first time I saw Kurai-san.
Together, you all plotted against him and lied.
Tell the truth otherwise,
your deepest, darkest secrets will be revealed.
- This is so stupid I'm going home! - Please don't feign innocence.
I know everything.
You all may seem unrelated, but you all have one thing in common.
Debt, your child's tuition, and sending money back home.
That's right! You all have money problems.
Which is why!
For the sake of money, you killed Kurai-san!
That's not true at all!
There must be a reason for this murder. What is it?
Who asked you to do it? - Hey you
don't utter such nonsense!
At the moment, we're quite unhappy to be treated as suspects.
What evidence do you have to suspect us to this extent?
So you have no evidence, but you treat us like criminals!?
- That's not it. - Don't kid me.
I'll report you to the police!
Everyone.
Our apprentice has carried this out in a reckless and impolite manner.
Please accept my sincere apology!
In a sense, you are the victims.
Since that day,
you might be blaming yourself for Kurai-san's death
even though it's not your fault.
I believe,
Kurai-san's death was an accident.
You're saying the wrong things!
Thank you for your precious time.
The exit is over there.
- Senkawa-san. - Oh, by the way,
It's better not to report this to the police.
If any one of you tells the police,
I'll reveal everyone's secrets.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Really sorry.
I'm really sorry!
Come on! Don't you think you were kind of harsh with me?
- Well done Meguro! - How'd it go?
- It was way too hard. - What were you doing?
When you said all four of them were lying,
I came up with another plan.
They're not connected with each other.
I realized that when I threatened them individually.
But I was thinking maybe there's something tying them
together without them knowing.
That's why gathering them here,
gave us a chance to look around their houses.
So, I wonder what we found.
You should've told me!
That was horribly embarrassing for me!
Senkawa.
I found a security camera I hadn't checked.
- Where from? - Just inside the entrance.
This is just before Kurai enters.
Is that the class reunion group?
Yeah, seems like it.
There's Kurai.
That's weird.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Looks like the police have declared it an accident.
- They've closed the investigation. - How pointless!
Well at least we can relax.
OK! Let's finish getting ready for Mio-san's party.
- Lend me a hand. - Alright.
Get movin'.
Meguro? Where are the yari-ika spear squid, they're my favorite!
- Squid? - I'm having a squid-life crisis!
Senkawa-san likes squid!? I didn't have an inkling!
Shut up. I'm not squidding around! Now I gotta buy some.
Shall I roe to the store?
- Stop throwing puns at each other. - I squid you farewell!
Would you like me to call you a crab?
No thanks. Just help Meguro.
Todoroki speaking.
You said you'd grant whatever wish I had, right?
Yes.
There is one thing I'd like to ask of you.
Evening.
Isn't this over yet?
Sorry about earlier. Our apprentice didn't quite finish his job.
The police have declared Kurai-san's death an accident.
Is that so?
So why are you here?
Wakabayashi Ryousuke, from here on, I will threaten you.
Tell me everything you know.
If you don't, I'll tell the police the truth about Kurai's death.
Not this again.
You can quit the act.
On the day of the accident, the restaurant was full because of the class reunion.
You took the reservation.
So what?
Was it really a class reunion?
I saw the security footage of the customers entering.
They were all ages and their mood wasn't very jovial. strange for a class reunion.
Why was that?
You put this group together yourself, didn't you?
As the customers filled up the seats,
Kurai was forced to sit here.
A coincidence.
Exactly! A coincidence.
How peculiar that these coincidences keep overlapping with this accident.
These coincidences...
could deliberately be orchestrated by the manager.
Isn't this what you did?
You ordered a large quantity of Xmas lights from a known supplier.
You were pretty sure he'd bring used lights,
Then you let him put 'em up.
By directing a random group of people to sit there,
Kurai was forced to sit by the wall.
You filled the glass to the brim so it can easily spill.
Then you asked the new guy to serve it.
Let's not forget, you burdened the cook with lots of orders
so the electricity would cut off.
It was dark, so the new guy bumped into the electrician,
then the water spilled on Kurai.
And then...
What do you think?
Puts Conan to shame, doesn't it?
Stop with the nonsense.
You killed him!
You manipulated innocent people to unknowingly help you murder someone.
Why'd you have to go so far?
You had no reason to kill Kurai.
He might have been a bad person.
Abusing his position as a caseworker,
he made many people suffer including Houjou Akane.
Such behavior is unforgivable.
But it doesn't mean he should die for it.
It doesn't mean he should be murdered!
Death was a natural consequence of his actions.
Trampling on the weak,
profiting from their misery.
That's the kind of person he was.
A news clipping from your house.
An orchestrated accident just like this one.

Tragic Accident
19 Year Old Boy Falls to His Death
Tragic Accident
The victim was
the boy who killed your wife.
Was this also your doing?
That wasn't me.
I was saved.
Saved?
But now it was my turn.
Your turn? What do you mean?
Who saved you?
Who are you working for?
Wakabayashi Ryousuke, I'm going to threaten you once again.
You used innocent people to fake Kurai's murder as an accident.
Tell me who's behind you.
Or I'll report everything to the police.
Tell me Wakabayashi!
Coming.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
We're supposedly having a party for you but
Senkawa-san went to buy squid and hasn't returned yet.
- Squid? Squid.
I was given the day off.
Here's some of Meguro's hand rolled sushi.
You came all this way just for that?
It was on my way home.
I'm your new neighbor!
Wait.
It's OK from here
but just listen to me.
Just 3 minutes.
Can you give me just 3 minutes?
I...
I approached you on purpose.
Remember what I said?
That Wakana Kurusu-san
died in an accident?
She was my...
older sister.
She was also...
Senkawa-san's girlfriend.
My sister,
died by chance in an unfortunate accident.
Women in her 20s dies from bee stings
The victim KURUSU WAKANA, age 29
But I,
don't think it was an accident at all.
I believe she was murdered.
I'm sure Senkawa-san
believes the same.
Who are you working for?
There are others who were murdered and made to look like an accident.
Talk, Wakabayashi!
I won't give into you threats.
I'd rather tell the cops everything.
I no longer care what happens to me.
Life without my wife has no meaning.
Even if I get arrested,
I have no partners.
Constant dripping wears away a stone.
Constant dripping
