A few days ago, a young boy from junior high
was drown in summer camp by the beach.
He's only 15.
I’m the director, Kasahara.
Let's invite the principal
to give a report on the drowning incident
according to the investigation made.
We've investigated
and found that the victim went to sea
without the teacher's permission and he was drown.
Didn't the teacher give any instruction then?
I was the leading teacher, Otsuka.
The sea was wild that day.
I cancelled our plan to swim far from the beach.
And I even forbade the students from going to the sea.
Liar!
This is not true!
Do you have anything to say to the school?
I want them to tell the truth.
That's all.
What has everyone here take life as?
Kudou.
What is it?
Do you think this is ok?
I’m Domoto, the new lawyer.
I can't agree with Kudou's methods of defending.
She thinks something else is more important than a life.
Passion for justice Episode 5.
''A few days ago,''
Sorry to disturb.
Waiting for you.
Please take a seat!
Aoba No. 1 School
is your alma mater, isn't it, Domoto?
Yes.
It’s very ridiculous, but can you help me?
Huh? What is it?
A junior high student
was drown in a summer camp by the beach.
Huh ?
You know better
what it is like in the school, don't you?
We don't liaise with Aoba No. 1 a lot.
So it'll be good if you join.
Could you help?
I know.
We have to tell Sugisaki first.
Thank you.
So we'll leave the liaison with the school
to you and Katase.
Let's have a meeting in the afternoon.
Ok.
Isawa and Mizuho will deal with the media.
Ok.
Thank you.
Domoto.
Ask me if there's any question?
We're different from the Legal Aid,
we emphasize team spirit.
I know.
I’m glad I can work with you.
Let's work together.
Hmm.
Are you an idiot?
How can you just agree like that?
Can't it be so?
Look what you have done!
Something is going to happen !
Maybe so.
But I failed many times. And Kudou knows.
But she let me join in.
And there are many things l can help.
Kudou was worried before.
Poor thing.
I won't bring shame to the Legal Aid.
I always wanted to say this.
You.
This is too noisy!
What's wrong with it?
Let her see from another perspective.
Not all clients of the lawyer are the weak.
Thank you.
You should learn from Kudou.
Huh ?
What are lawyers exactly?
Teacher.
Domoto.
It’s been a long time.
Could you be...
I’m a lawyer with Emuza Law Firm !
Really? You made your dad's dream come true.
Domoto.
Ah, this is Mr. Otsuka, my form teacher in Junior Three.
The victim is your...
I’m the form teacher, Fuda Takeshi.
Thanks for your help this time.
That day, our plan was to take the students
in the summer camp for a swim at the beach.
But the sea was stormy.
So I’d decided to wait and see.
Why don't we go?
It’s still stormy. We'll wait and see.
Ok.
An hour later, I found Fuda missing.
I tried in vain to look for him.
And then we found him dead.
I see.
Katase.
Yes.
We made a handbook because of that.
But the fact is what we see now.
Please don't liaise with the victim's family.
It’s a taboo even to apologize.
Instead of that, you should say
''What a shame!'' or ''l am regret to hear this.''
or ''Everything is still under investigation !''
The school cannot admit the fault,
not can you apologize nor show that you're on the weak side.
Please do remember.
Ok. We know.
Mr. Otsuka,
there's something we want to reassure with you.
What is it?
Did Fuda Takeshi say anything to other students
before he disappeared?
They kept asking when they could go swimming,
but I told them to wait.
Let's say you did forbid them from swimming.
I didn't actually forbid them.
No. Mr. Ostuka did forbid them.
He didn't let them swim, nor
did he allow them to go near the sea.
Fuda Takeshi didn't listen,
so he went to sea and drown himself.
But...
Mr. Otsuka,
we'll do exactly like Kudou told us.
We must be careful in case we're accused of dereliction.
Ok.
Let's talk about how to deal with them from now on.
Please turn to the next page.
Kudou, why didn't you
let me in just now?
Let me in.
I’m Fuda Takeshi's father.
The person in charge is coming soon.
Take off the badge.
Huh ?
We'll be in trouble if he knows that we are lawyers.
Don't let him see that.
Are we going to deceive him?
We're still
investigating. Please be patient.
What has actually happened?
Why did you son die?
Why didn't anyone tell me anything?
We will look into the details and find out the truth.
Please, let me know.
Hey!
I have some other cases. I’ll have to go.
Why, Kudou?
What is it?
Why are you lying for Mr. Otsuka?
Hey, Domoto.
Are you supposed to twist the fact?
What do you think, Katase?
I think this is the right way.
Tell her then.
Sure.
Kudou.
Well, can't you not make others anxious?
The man outside the door
was Fuda's father, wasn't he?
Ah.
Aren't you moved by him, Katase?
How can the teachers take it
for how he came into school like that?
He lost his child!
The parents have to rights to know what happened.
But the school might have to take up the responsibility.
What responsibility?
Life is more important than anything else!
Hey, Domoto.
We're not saving the weak!
We'll trying to safeguard the school's welfare.
I know, but...
You know nothing.
We're not hiding anything.
No matter what Mr. Otsuka says, Fuda Takeshi is already dead.
This is an accident.
There's nothing wrong.
Kudou is doing a lawyer’s job.
How can it be so?
Domoto.
Do you understand why
all these schools, entrepreneurs,
or hospitals are paying so much for their lawyers?
That's because...
they don't want to apologize.
They don't need a lawyer
if the truth is to be discovered and they to apologize.
But isn't a wrongdoer bound to apologize?
Why don't you be a policewomen
if you want to make people apologize?
But police today are all no good guys.
Are you asking me to ignore it?
Am I suppose to change the fact?
That's a real lawyer.
But...
That's the reality.
Is this Domoto?
What's wrong?
It’s Domoto's alma mater,
and she makes it easier to investigate.
I have long not seen a lawyer with dreams.
You're like the old Sugisaki.
There's nothing wrong with having dreams.
I have a dream too.
You do?
Becoming the president at the Japanese Barristor Association,
is one of it.
This is the crucial time.
Please don't make any mistakes.
I know.
So 28 went
to the Summer Camp at the beach, huh?
There are 20 from Fuda Takeshi's class.
Damotmo, are you upset?
What do you mean?
I think I was over.
I’m sorry.
Why do you apologize?
I think I made a mistake.
That's normal, isn't it?
Huh ?
Who were with Fuda?
Yazawa Osamu, Mikira Taira,
Kinoshita Shingo, Orihon Yukihiro.
They are divided according to
their class for the gymnastic session.
These are the four with Fuda in the end.
We should ask what Fuda had said.
There's no need to investigate on those things.
Even the police said it's not a criminal case.
What if there's something important?
Maybe.
Anyway, I’ll talk to the students tomorrow.
So you insist on going!
I have work before evening.
I’ll leave it to you !
Hmm.
Fuda Takeshi's funeral is tomorrow.
Yes.
If you're going, don't take anything with you.
It will make them think
it's the school's responsibility.
May I ask if
any of the Aoba No. 1 students came?
No one came.
I see.
Something is not right.
None of the students came to the funeral.
Why is it so?
Are you students from Junior 3A?
Yes.
I’m Domoto, the lawyer.
I would like to ask you about Fuda Takeshi.
We're going for our tuition classes now.
Did you all join the summer camp at the beach?
We don't know anything about the incident.
Do you know any 4 of the students?
Yazawa and Mikira could have...
What kind of person was Fuda?
Takeshi was very outstanding.
He's good at both studying and sports.
I see.
Anyway,
could you tell me what happened that day?
Was it Takeshi who suggested for a swim?
Is that right?
He's strong,
and he suggested the three of us compete.
And as we swam, we lost him.
And we thought they had gone home.
He always liked to be alone.
And no one thought that...
Thought that...
he was drown.
Thanks for telling me these.
It was stormy then, wasn't it?
Didn't Mr. Otsuka say anything?
Not sure.
But he did tell us to wait.
Is that right?
Well, we really have to go for tuition now.
I’m sorry.
I really thank you for today.
One last thing,
why didn't you attend the funeral?
The school didn't say we must go,
and we had classes.
I see.
Good job, Domoto.
Huh ?
So it's Fuda Takeshi who invited the two for a swim, huh?
So he had to be responsible for the incident.
But they didn't hear any instructions
to forbid them from swimming.
I think we can't rule out the possibility of
the dereliction of the school.
We'll see what Mr. Otsuka have to say.
Are you asking Mr. Otsuka to lie?
Is your assumption based on your opinion
as a lawyer or as a former student?
Well...
Fuda's parents must have been very patient.
I’ll go and talk to them tomorrow.
We should look more into the matter.
None of the students went to Fuda's funeral.
How strange?
It’s not strange at all.
You think too much.
Time allows you to win when you deal with the family.
Tell them properly about what the
students say and Emuza's conclusion.
I understand.
Are you do it, Domoto?
Yes.
We hope you understand that
Takeshi went to the sea on his own,
without Mr. Otsuka's permission.
You're lying.
Mr. Fuda, this is the fact.
I don't believe anything that you said.
I heard all of these from the other students
from the summer camp.
It’s not a lie.
None of Takeshi's friend came to the funeral,
I can't believe in the things they say.
I am sorry about the incident.
It is an accident.
No one is to be responsible.
Even if you sue the school,
they won't pay you !
That's it!
You don't have to mention it here.
Mr. Fuda, I hope you understand.
Why do you all think
that Takeshi's death is of the matter of fact?
Yes. My son died.
I have to go.
But he had been alive before that.
And all of you
listen to the hearsay, and never understand us.
That's not true.
You keep saying that the school has no responsibility,
and there's no apology.
Compensation?
I’m not talking about money.
It’s about someone's life!
Takeshi is good child. He's been caring.
He's only 15.
He shouldn't have
ended his life in all these lies.
Please leave and don't come again.
Please don't be too emotional.
The father is not calm yet.
Calm. This is not the thing.
I've seen many
quit because things have been too depressing.
Are you telling me to ignore how the victim feel?
Don't you know how sad Mr. Fuda is?
This is too cruel to mention about money now.
Why do you have to do that?
Why do you pretend?
You do know that it's all about
money in the end of the day, don't you?
We are on the school's side.
Akari.
You're so early today.
Mum.
What made you so happy?
You can tell?
Someone gave me beef.
It is worth of 3000 yen for gramme.
That's great.
Not bad, huh?
Let's have a big dinner tonight. Let's have hot pot.
Right. Let's go to the market for some tofu.
Well.
Is there anything else to buy?
Why I die, how much do you think you want to get?
Hmm...
3million and 1 o thousand.
Funeral?
It'll cost a lot of money.
Right?
Disappointed, eh?
No.
Getting angry.
No amount is enough.
There's nothing more important than my own child.
You can't be valued with money.
Is that right?
But the beef is more important today.
What?
Akari, the meat is great and it's going to make
you feel good to be alive!
Ah, I’m hungry.
Let's go.
This is rare.
I’m not talking about money.
It’s someone's life.
He's only 15. And his life
shouldn't have ended in your lies.
We're on the school side.
Why do you pretend?
You do know that it's all about money
in the end of the day, don't you?
This is the reality!
Sugisaki.
Fuda...
It’s been long.
What is it?
Why are you saying that? Do you hate me?
Didn't you make me
like this?
The lawyer helped me,
so I did the same thing many times.
Will you help me?
What have you done?
Why?
But I trust you !
I need more time to talk to Mr. Fuda.
Right?
Let's not wait then. Let's have the press conference.
Please wait.
Mr. Fuda hasn't agreed with anything.
That's why we have to begin first.
The point to hold a press conference
is to make it a fact to the public.
Why did that happen?
Sugisaki, Kudou wants a press conference.
What should we do?
She wants to announce the fact. There shouldn't be any problem.
But there are doubts.
What?
Isn’t it strange that none of the students
showed up at Takeshi's funeral?
Even without any instruction from school,
a normal friend should attend, shouldn’t they?
He didn't have friends, then.
Impossible.
The father said that Takeshi is a good child.
Can you tell?
Do you think what the father said can be true?
Well?
You know nothing about them.
Not even the parents.
We'll be in trouble
if things don't go well, and the school came to us again.
We can't help it if they have to take the responsibility.
Domoto, your view is right
as a human being.
But as a lawyer,
you're disqualified.
Isn’t this strange?
Because
lawyers are human beings too.
Why don't you go and stop the conference then?
The press conference... Kudou is making it big.
Didn't you tell him too?
Everyone, please voice yourself and make your point.
Reading from the scripts give the impression
that you're not sincere enough.
I’ve got it.
If Mr. Fuda wants to sue the school,
it will affect the school reputation a lot.
In the era where family have so few children,
you need a lot of time and money
to rebuild their trust towards the school.
We have to plan well,
and strike to win !
Katase, are the documents ok?
Hmm. Thanks for your help.
Ok.
Katase, separate the exits of
the reporters and the relevant people.
I’ve got it.
What are you doing, Domoto? Hurry up and help!
You shouldn't hold the press conference,
you should investigate properly.
Listen to what you say!
You heard Kudou !
Katase do you think this will do?
Of course.
We are in a team.
Hello, this is the Legal Aid.
Yes, just one minute.
Sugisaki.
Mr. Fuda wants to see Domoto, he's waiting in front.
Sorry to disturb.
I’m sorry, Domoto is out.
I came to see if I can get any details about
what Domoto has found out from the students.
I’m sorry.
I can help if it's some other things.
But aren't you the defendant for the school?
Please take a seat.
I’m Otsuka, the leader.
It was stormy that day.
Not only the offshore swimming,
but we also ban the students from going to the sea.
Why did the school check?
Why did Takeshi have to die?
I really understand how you feel.
Doesn't the school have any responsibility?
It’s an accident.
The school will do anything
to stop similar incidents from happening again.
How about suing Aoba No. 1 .
There's only one choice.
If that's your decision,
I can introduce you to a good lawyer.
Takeshi was here before.
This is the ultimate fact.
But he's buried by the darkness now.
That's all for the press conference.
Are you from Junior 3A?
About Fuda...
We don't really know anything about it.
Wait a minute.
Orihon, you're Fuda's classmate, aren't you?
I want to know about Fuda,
could you give me some time?
I know nothing.
Was Fuda being bullied in class?
Is that's why no one cares that he died?
No.
Fuda's dictionary.
The mark was done on purpose.
Please let me know.
No one is sad about Fuda's death.
Is it that bad?
Domoto.
How's the conference?
Done.
Kudou.
What is it?
Is it ok to end like this?
I think it's a wrong decision to hold the press conference.
Stop it, will you?
Leave her alone. Let's go.
Domoto, would you give me a reason?
Please look at Fuda's dictionary.
He'd been bullied.
The drowning incident
cannot be over generalized as a simple case.
Is this the only evidence for the bullying?
I asked other students.
No one really give me a positive answer,
But this somehow proved
that Fuda had been isolated.
This might not be a simple case.
Now with all these,
should we still put the client as our priority?
We lost a life!
Can we not do anything?
Did you talk to him?
Yes.
I’ll listen to Kudou.
Ok, I’ll answer you.
The answer is ''Yes.''
Are you happy now?
Fuda is on the weak side, not the school!
I would like to ask Domoto who the weak are?
You decided on your own based on your common sense
and former
information for who the weak are.
This is the biggest weakness of a lawyer!
A lawyer's righteousness is to do everything for his client.
Let's go.
I didn't know!
I never knew Kudou is so cold.
Domoto.
Teacher.
Please, Domoto.
Don't create trouble.
No one is being bullied in my class.
Please. That's it is.
Please don't do that, Teacher.
Could you please solve the problem?
Isn’t the truth important?
Even the teacher...
Please don't put the responsibility
On me.
It’s tough for me. I’m on 20-year mortgage.
My daughter is still young.
That's it.
I would like to learn from you who the weak are.
You decide on your own based on your common sense and
assumption for who the weak are.
This is a lawyer's biggest weakness.
A lawyer's righteousness
is to do everything for his client.
Are you ok, Domoto?
Katase.
I know it's hard
because you cannot agree with the rest.
There's no use to ask Kudou.
This is how barrister works.
Right. Can you lend me the dictionary?
There's something I want to confirm.
What are you doing?
Katase, stop it!
This is for your own good.
Why are all lawyers so cruel?
I have been praying that this is only a nightmare.
