The accused,
name and age.
Totsuka Genichi, 19.
Now we'll go on trial for the rape assault case.
Prosecutor, indictment!
Indictment,
the accused, Totsuka Genichi, raped a 25 female,
who worked in an investment bank,
o1 9 May, Year 20 of Heisei.
The lady's motorbike broke down on her way from.
While she appeared helpless, the accused came to her.
He took her to the Karaoke room, near the city.
An hour later,
when the lady was about to go home,
she was pinned on the sofa.
The accused raped her despite her struggle.
The victim hurt her right leg,
and only recover 3 weeks later.
The accused has violated
criminal law 191 , Article 2,
raping is
treading on a woman's pride.
It’s the most despicable crime in the world.
Is there anything that's is not true in the indictment?
No.
Any opinion?
I agree with the accused.
The accused shall go back to his sit.
I’m the accused defendant.
Three weeks later.
A young lady was raped by a teenage boy.
It’s a rape case.
They are asking help from us.
Domoto.
Would you like to accept it?
Sure.
This is the toughest case so far.
Are you ready?
Yes.
You're not defending the lady.
But the boy.
Huh ?
And he is not a first timer.
Hello, this is the Legal Aid.
I’ve got it.
Sugisaki.
Boss wants to see you.
Domoto, are you taking it?
Think about it.
I’m Domoto, the new lawyer.
He is at my age.
The lawyer must put the best effort for the client,
even if he is alleged of a despicable crime.
Passion for justice Episode 7.
You have to take the case.
I’m sorry.
I gave Totsuka Genichi's case to Domoto.
To the newcomer?
Do you realize that he is the son of the senator?
Emuza needs Totsuka
for help.
At least we have to get a probation.
It will be the best if we can get an appeasement.
You're an expect in this, aren't you?
You could even get a probation on many similar cases
like this which seemed almost impossible.
Until one day, someone died.
Sugisaki,
if Domoto takes the case,
I’ll help her as her boss.
But I’ll just forget it
if Domoto doesn't take it.
This is all I can do for the moment.
Don't move.
The accused, Totsuka Genichi, 19,
couldn't even get into any 5 of the
private universities he applied for.
He is going to retake the exams.
The victim, Matsuzawa Akemi,
worked as a bank clerk at a investment bank next
to Totsuka's tuition school.
I’m Totsuka.
May I know... if you're my defendant?
I really did regret it
after hurting her.
Totsuka.
You committed an attempted raping a year ago, didn't you?
I’m regretting it.
lf you really were, then why did you?
What you did,
is unforgivable for a woman.
It’s impossible to be forgiven.
I never
dated a woman.
No one liked me.
But she was different.
She was glad to listen to me.
But...
then she said she had to leave all of a sudden,
so I couldn't control myself.
Please help me.
Lawyer.
My law firm,
Emuza, has accept the case from your parents,
I’ll sure defend you as your lawyer.
Well...
But,
I’m a human being first, then a lawyer.
Totsuka.
Please answer my three questions.
lf you lie, I can't be your lawyer.
I don't care if Ezuma fires me.
Have you really repented?
Yes.
You didn't plan for the raping, did you?
No.
Of course not.
Would you take an oath for
you will never hurt a woman again?
Yes, I can.
I won't ever do the same thing again.
I promise.
Sugisaki.
Do you really want to do this?
I’m a woman, but I have to deal with a rape case
because I’m a lawyer.
Well, why are you here?
I’m in charge of teaching you lessons.
This is the first time
I see an exam-retake living in such an apartment.
That day, Totsuka Genichi left home at 11 in the morning.
He bought his lunch at a store nearby,
and spend some time reading the magazine.
At 1 , he went to the tuition school.
At 2 in the afternoon,
Totsuka received his results for the mock exams.
He wanted to apply for Souyoshi University.
He said,
his entry to the university is very low,
and so he was disappointed.
I’m sorry.
Could you get Tanaka Kouhei?
Sure.
That evening,
Totsuka and his high school friend, Tanaka Kouhei,
went to the tuition school together.
Tanaka invited him for a bowling game,
but he was too sad so he turned him down.
He flunked the exams and he was depressed.
I see.
His family are difficult, so he was really depressed.
Will this do?
Thanks. You've helped us a lot.
He just couldn't hold it.
It’s not even a summon.
At 5,
Totsuka Genichi went home and decided to study.
It didn't work out,
and he decided to go shopping.
That day, Matsuzawa Akemi finished work
and walked out of the bank.
She found her motorbike punctured.
Totsuka Genichi was there then,
Are you ok? What happened?
I know how to repair this.
I’m really good at this.
I can get it done. Just give me a few minutes.
Sure. Ok.
They got along well, and went for Karaoke.
It’s just over there.
They just hit off like that?
Are all youngsters like that?
Who knows?
How about you?
Don't you have a boyfriend?
Don't tell me that ''the Book of 6 Laws''
is your boyfriend! How disgusting!
This could be a sexual harassment.
Are you going to sue me?
Sure I am.
Won't want to come to a place like this anymore, huh?
I thank you for your courage.
Let me get the situation of that day.
You're from Emuza, aren't you?
Totsuka Genichi's lawyer.
Huh ?
I’m Ueda.
I’m Domoto.
The lawyer?
That fellow's lawyer?
Yes.
Are you a woman?
I was about to call you to meet tomorrow.
Totsuka Genichi has repented.
Oh, Domoto,
I’m already the lawyer,
It’s against the law to talk to the other party.
But since we met, let's chat.
My law firm is just nearby.
Sure.
Have you been attacked by a man?
Huh ?
Have you?
No.
Nor had I before this.
Before this, I was never
so scared when there's a man next to me in the train.
My face wouldn't turn white
when I was alone with a man in the lift.
My hands wouldn't shake when
a man approached my counter at the bank.
I never avoid taking a taxi because the driver was a man.
Please calm down, Miss Matsuzawa.
As a woman,
why would you defend for that man?
Why?
Why are you defending that man?
Why?
How much do you prepare to pay to settle this?
There's no exactly number
and I haven't talk to the client about this.
Totsuka Genichi is still a minor.
For the sake of his future,
his parents won't be stingy with money.
So you admit that you should pay 1 00% responsibility?
Yes. As long as you agree On an appeasement.
I see.
lf you really admit it, then it's my gain.
Thanks to you as her lawyer, I’m more confident now.
Meaning, you admit to pay 1 00% responsibility.
Yes, as long as you agree On an appeasement.
It’s so late now. Please leave.
How about an appeasement?
Matsuzawa Akemi has decided that
the accused should receive severe punishment.
We're not planning for an appeasement.
Wait a minute.
As a lawyer I have to put my greatest effort
to safeguard the interests of my client.
I’ll pass the words to the prosecutor.
Hey!
May I know how to get to Sakaito Station?
Ah, Turn right in front.
Right? Thank you.
Have you been attacked by a man?
My hands would never shake just
because a man approached my counter at the bank.
I would never avoid taking a taxi
just because the driver was a man.
As Tomita's lawyer, we're suing your for libel.
Huh ?
You're accusing Tomita of the rape incident you cooked up.
What then?
Please leave.
Right now.
We're lawyers from famous law firm.
And Tomita's parents have made clear
that they won't be stingy with money for the sake of the son.
What is it?
Suing us to court for libel.
In the end?
Appeasement.
lf you agree now,
we can pay you 1 0 million.
Tomita Sisuke is to receive
imprisonment of 2 years and 4 months.
Suspended the implementation to 4 years from the ruling date.
Statement now.
I’m just making everyone happy.
Suing me is too much !
Our lawyers are all really excellent.
Bastard, go to hell!
Last year, obscene and rape cases reported
to the police were around 1 0 thousand.
Less than half of these rapists are arrested.
Most of them either decided not to sue,
or cancel the indictment.
Can't stand it!
Huh? Rape?
What? Why all of a sudden?
What is it?
I can see you working very hard. A coffee for you.
Thank you.
There.
Even then, it's annoying to see how hard you work.
I’m a lawyer!
Speaking of it,
Can you even all a rapist energetic?
These bastards
make the world unsafe.
lf I were the defendant for the rapist...
Forget it.
Anyway, work on it so that you won't have regrets one day.
Wait a minute.
What would you do, if you were a lawyer?
Huh ?
I would like to know what you thin.
Hmm, if I were a lawyer, I must work on it really hard.
Then?
And punch him in the face on the last day of the trial.
Nonsense!
Wait. Then?
And while the man has lost his conscious,
I’ll use scissors
to cut off
his dick.
I’ve got it.
Get out!
Huh ?
Get out!
How is it?
I’ve got it. Now leave.
I shouldn't have asked.
lf you have exposed it,
then we can only try to work on the appeasement.
Sorry.
What is it?
Why aren't you throwing your contempt
on the man like you always do?
I was too naive.
I knew that the victim what him to be punished.
But I didn't notice it.
It’s ok for not being aware.
A lawyer's job is to sprinkle salt on the wound.
But if we are not sincere enough,
they won't agree on an appeasement, will they?
You're so silly.
Weren't there only Totsuka and the woman?
Go to Totsuka now and tell him to appeal,
saying that he didn't rape her,
he was actually cheated by her.
Tell me to say these.
No one has any evidence anyway.
Are you for real?
Or check the girl's past.
Find out her weakness and pinpoint her.
Is that too low?
Rape cases are all depending on the judge's ruling.
You can find a detective
to check on the girl's past as
you're working on the appeasement.
I’m a woman too. I don't do things like that.
Who cares if you're a man or a woman?
You're the accused defendant!
This is the righteousness recognized by the law firm.
Sugisaki, are these your real words?
Is this really what you think?
Sugisaki.
You want to hear my real words?
Yes.
He should be given a life sentenced.
Who would defend for a man who has been violent to women?
I’m a human. I know!
I know what's right and what's not.
Laws are righteousness?
I didn't become a lawyer to work for people like that.
What can you understand even if I tell you?
These are my real words.
Are you satisfied?
You're really loud!
I heard you !
What is it?
Totsuka has been calling me every day.
I’m just asking how's everything there.
Domoto is working really hard on it.
Don't blame yourself on Suzuki Akiko's death.
Once the ruling is over, the lawyer's job is over.
The rest have nothing to do with the lawyer.
You didn't see it.
I saw
her hanging death.
That man I pled probation for did all that.
It’s been 7 years.
I don't mean to ask you to forget it all,
but,
it's about the end.
You must win this case.
Everyone has the rights to have a lawyer defend for them
no matter what sins they have committed.
Hello, is this Genes Detective?
I’m from Ezuma. I’m glad to talk to you.
Yes. I would need your help on one thing.
We hope that Senator Totsuka can help us.
Please.
Is my son ok?
No problem.
There's no time for anything else
before this one is settled.
Sorry to disturb.
I’m Domoto from Emuza.
I need help from the two of you.
Asking Senator Totsuka to write the indictment?
You have to bear the responsibility if we lose.
Sure win, huh?
Not sure.
He might be a politician,
but his responsibility as a parent is the same.
Right. As a lawyer, the method has to be right.
The whole law firm are concerned about this case.
As a lawyer, you must fight till the end,
and show everyone what you have got!
Your parents wrote this.
Please take a look.
My results have
always been bad since you,
my dad doesn't talk to me.
And now he's writing this for me?
You have to right a letter too.
Write the whole review of your feelings.
Yes.
I’m asking you again,
have you repented?
Yes, I have.
This is not a deliberate rape case, is it?
No.
Is this Mr. Ueda?
I’m Domoto from Emuza.
Could I talk to you again on Totsuka's case?
Yes. Thank you.
I’ll see you in an hour's time.
Sure, see you later.
Anything else?
So I can't get an appeasement before court.
Domoto.
This is the report from the detective.
I’ve just sent it to the Legal Aid.
Thank you.
That's our best detective.
All barristers want to know more about the other party.
I see.
We'll win the case with this report.
No. Win...
I’ll go to the court. Work on it!
I have to go.
What has it written?
Matsuzawa Akemi had received counseling.
She had it after she committed a theft when she was 1 7.
Theft?
But the main culprit was her friend.
She followed into the shop.
This is the exact counseling record.
lf we make use of this at court,
her image could be changed before the judge.
I can't see
how this less than 8-year-old record has anything to do
with this case.
This is to reduce her credit. Even it's a little.
But she's working at the finance bank.
lf this is revealed...
What's your identity now?
We'll use this at court.
Why is it so...
Enough, arrange the information.
Sugisaki.
What is it?
There's one more thing.
Questions from the defendant.
Yes.
I’m Domoto, the defendant. I have a few questions to ask.
The Karaoke lounge that you and the accused
went was the scene of the crime, wasn't it?
Who suggested to go to the Karaoke lounge?
Me.
I like singing. And I think it helps me to release my tension.
I go regularly.
And it was the first time I met him,
so going for Karaoke wont' be boring.
But there are all separated units in the lounge,
didn't you appose the idea, going with a stranger?
You do like
Totsuka Genichi, don't you?
Ah?
You suggested to go for Karaoke...
I was worried at first.
Now it's not bad.
It’s an advantage
to change the judge's impression with a female defendant.
How could I have liked him?
But you were alone with him in the room.
Let me ask in another way.
You told us that
singing helps to release your tension.
So you were pretty tensed that day, weren't you?
What do you mean?
According to our investigation,
you were in a fight with your boyfriend
whom you had been with for 2 years then.
So?
To vent your anger towards your indifferent boyfriend,
weren't you behaving rather
open towards Totsuka Genichi who came over to you?
Objection.
The defendant is asking question based on her guesses.
Silence.
You're the worst person I’ve seen !
Witness to be back to the seat.
You're a woman,
like me!
Try it for what I have gone through.
It’s so scary, so sad!
You try it!
Silence!
The witness has to leave the court if you can't keep quiet.
Please go back to your seat.
Miss Matsuzawa.
I’ve never been attacked by a man.
But there's one thing
that other honest ladies and l have never gone through.
That is...
The victim has her own flaws too, huh?
Actually, according to Katase,
you might win this case.
You were 1 7 then,
in your high school year,
for money you needed every fun night...
Inappropriate.
This has nothing to do with the case.
Quiet.
The case happened in a closed room.
The victim is the only witness.
As a defendant l have to make sure
if we can trust her words.
What do you think she is?
Of course she is.
Quiet! This is a court.
Stay calm.
I’ve finished.
Your honor, objection to the defendant's questions.
But the witness's testimony was stopped.
Next witness.
Yes. She's too emotional.
We'll pass if the defendant has no objection.
No objection.
Next witness.
The next witness is Totsuka Genichi's friend,
Mr. Tanaka Kouhei.
Pass.
Kouhei, why?
Are you Tanaka Kouhei?
Yes.
Please give your statement to the judge.
I’ve been a classmate to
Totsuka Genichi since primary school.
Yes.
Are you friends?
Well...
Instead of friends, we are more like master and servant.
Then tell us what exactly happened that day.
Yes.
I told the police and the lawyer that
I invited Totsuka for bowling,
but he left due to her low mood affected by the poor results.
Those were lies.
Totsuka had always liked the victim.
He always wanted to get near to her.
So he told me to puncture his tire.
Tanaka!
Don't forget the puncture the tire.
I’ll have to go now.
Liar!
He said, ''Get the right timing, and the girl is mine.''
I didn't appose him.
Tanaka, I want to kill you !
Mr. Totsuka, what's the attitude?
Haven't you repented?
Where have all the tears you shed in the room gone?
Did you put on a show just to get the probation?
What are you nagging for?
You can teach me lessons only after you win the case.
Right?
Are these your real words?
I regret it.
That's it for the prosecutor.
Questions from the defendant.
I have nothing to ask.
Mr. Tanaka. Done.
Dismiss.
The next ruling is at 0 1 : 1 0pm on 20th, next week.
At the same court room.
Look! How awful!
I told you we can't trust the newcomer.
This is a great impact to Emuza!
Are the whole family still crying there?
It’s impossible to get a probation.
Sugisaki.
I thought I could see your court strategies today.
I thought I could see something
amazing at the crucial time, though you normally look lazy.
I expected the wrong thing.
You have no hope
as a lawyer.
Excuse me.
Sugisaki, thank you.
What?
You're the one who defended for him today.
As a client, prepare to take the blame.
Weren't there nasty questions?
But without your suggestions,
I would have felt very lost.
One thing is clear,
the accused planned for it.
He has been lying to me.
As a lawyer l defend for him till the end.
But covering up the truth is another thing.
Isn’t this good?
His classmate came to you because he was too scared.
How do you know?
Just tell him,
I’m Totsuka Genichi's defendant,
and am not taking any information that's against him.
For my own opinion,
once it's announced, you're a repeated offender.
You might be an accomplice.
Why is it so?
What should I do?
You'll know.
lf we hadn't talked to him,
he would have gone to the other party.
But a lawyer shouldn't have done that.
Totsuka's imprisonment isn't your fault.
It’s his own responsibility.
Thank you.
You fool, you should thank me.
I don't feel as unsecured anymore.
Well, when Tanaka came in court as the witness,
I felt relieved.
A disqualified lawyer.
Domoto, it might be too early,
but do you want some beer?
Your first loss. Memerial!
Ok. I can drink a little.
I’m Domoto, the new lawyer.
This is my first loss today.
