01x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

The indiscriminate Otousu Elementary School case in 1989.

Falsely accused for k*lling 21 people

with cyanide poisoning

my father was given the death sentence.

I've been looking forward to meet you.

Being from the future, I was supposed to be able to stop the incident but

My plan is perfect.

Did you bring it?

Mikio has an accomplice.

We don't know what kind of trap

I'm not gonna let the culprit do as he pleases.

I'm gonna stop it no matter what.

As Mikio and the mysterious accomplice

acted on their scheme

the situation begins to unfold unexpectedly.

Dad!

Mikio?

Hey!

Hey Mikio! Mikio!

Mikio!

Wait a minute.

What happened?

Where's Dad?

Is that a patrol car?

Yeah, looks like Sano-san's here.

We were notified there was a disturbance.

Anything?

Listen, there's a kid he's unconscious.

Where's Sano-san?

I don't know.

Contact him through the radio.

-Yes!

Kato Mikio-kun?

There's still pulse.

Roll an ambulance here quick!

-Yes.

Calling Sergeant Sano, do you copy?

What are you doing here?

No, um

Mikio told Sano-san to come here.

When I arrived

No response from Sano-san!

What?

Chinatsu's m*rder, Akane's kidnap case and Kanemaru-san's m*rder too were all done by Kato Mikio!

If you leave it, something's gonna happen again!

Don't tell me

Call support to search for Sergeant Sano!

Yes!

-Wait a minute.

Are you suspecting Sano-san?

He left an unconscious kid,

didn't call in an emergency

and now he's not responding!

-Sano-san

would never k*ll a child!

He came to the station just now.

He said Chinatsu-chan's m*rder and

Kazuko's kidnapping

were the work of Kato Mikio

and wanted us to arrest him!

No

Suspecting such a young child

It's hard to think what he's gonna do.

Their target is you.

We don't know what kind of trap

I'm not letting my precious family get hurt again.

I'm gonna stop it.

No matter what it takes.

This was a trap.

Mikio was used to lure Dad out here.

He asked Dad to come alone.

At this rate

Dad is going to be a suspected m*rder

just like the real culprit had aimed.

No

In the worst case scenario

Chinatsu!

A male body was discovered.

Seems to be cyanide poisoning.

The only thing I believe in is my intuition.

I saw it.

Matsuo-san seems to have passed away.

It's your fault that an innocent died.

Two people have died

I thought Mikio k*lled 21 people for some reason and you ended up taking the blame.

But his real target

is my life.

Dammit!

Dad!

Dad!

Shin-san, you're late.

Where did you go?

Dad hasn't come back too.

That's

Excuse me! I'm Mori from Sennan Station.

What does he want at this hour?

I'm Mabuchi from Miyagi Prefecture Station.

Sergeant Sano Bungo is a suspect in an attempted m*rder of a boy.

What?

The boy's name is Kato Mikio-kun.

He's currently unconscious

due to potassium cyanide poisoning.

Potassium cyanide

No, there's no way he would

Sergeant Sano Bungo is currently missing and the boy was found in his patrol car.

Just in case, we'd like to search your house.

Excuse me.

Wait.

Do you have a warrant?

Please step aside, Madam.

Of course not, without a warrant

Wait

Kazuko-san!

Let's go.

-Wait!

Hold it right there!

This is ill*gal!

Please explain!

If a police officer commits a m*rder, it will involve the police prestige.

The priority is to determine the situation

and find him as soon as possible.

The police force is built on the trust of citizens.

So you can just trample on people's lives

for the sake of police prestige?!

Mikio should be assaulted by the same culprit who abducted Kazuko-san and the kids.

Please check that first.

I heard Sergeant Sano was going around saying a 10-year old boy, Kato Mikio

was involved in that kidnapping.

There's no distinction in the means for people who are against justice.

Sano's that kind of man since a long time ago.

Don't act like you know him!

I used to be in the same station with him.

Though we're not acquainted as

we have different circles.

Justice is a troublesome thing.

It can ignite wars if you use the wrong methods.

We found no evidence at the moment

but please contact us immediately

if you hear from him.

We are also worried about him.

What did Dad do to Mikio-kun?

Is he the culprit?

Suzu

No, he's not.

That's right.

Don't worry.

Then where is he and what's he doing?

He's looking for the culprit.

But

-Go to sleep now!

He's fine, right?

Of course.

He's going to come back.

Shin-san, Mum

Please stop!

Please go back!

Mum!

What's the reationship between your husband and the unconscious boy found in his patrol car?

Did he intend to k*ll the boy?

My husband would never do that!

How can you be so sure?

He's trying to run away, isn't he?

Must have done some bad stuff.

Please stop pushing!

Please go back!

Stop pushing!

Are you okay?

What do they want?

It's okay. It's gonna be fine.

Hey Mikio

You're there right?

Why are you doing this?

You can't run anymore.

Surrender yourself.

A 10-year old boy was found unconscious

in a patrol car at the Sennan Campsite.

He was poisoned with potassium cyanide.

Mikio? Why?

A police officer is suspected to have escaped

and his current whereabouts is unknown.

The police officer

-No!

did not respond to communications.

-I didn't do anything!

Hey!

The investigation is ongoing

Ship of Theseus

Yes, Suzu and Shingo will stay home.

Sorry.

Why did Dad run away?

Shingo, he didn't run away.

Then why isn't he back?

He must have a reason.

Reason?

He must be searching for the culprit.

-Then

He could have at least contacted us.

He must have done something bad, right?

You got it wrong.

-Everybody's saying that.

Dad tried to k*ll Mikio-kun.

Of course they're angry!

Suzu

I'd rather a father who's a k*ller not come back.

What do you think about Sano still claiming he was falsely accused?

Have you apologized directly to the bereaved?

We're not in the position to

smile or cry in front of anyone.

You don't have a father.

Bear that in mind.

Please listen!

Please stop deciding on your

own that Sano-san is a suspect.

There's no evidence he's the culprit.

It's more likely that he got mixed up in the case.

What are you talking about?

-Stop joking.

Sano-san

is not the type to m*rder someone.

You're the only one who thinks so.

Shin-san

The point is

Do you have the right

to hurt an innocent family?

You're bothering the family.

I beg you.

Please leave.

Who the hell are you?

You're not a family member, are you?

There's no point for a stranger to talk to us.

We want comments from the family!

Nobody wants to listen to what you have to say!

Stranger like you should just leave.

Nobody wants to hear from you!

We want the family to speak up! Not you!

A moment please!

Mum?

The wife's here.

-Quick, camera!

Comment please!

Have you received any call from Sano-san?

Please tell us what you know.

-Any call from him?

At this time

I apologize for the trouble

my husband has caused.

Madam, we don't understand.

That's not it.

Don't lower your head to us!

A comment please!

It's the same as before.

Please tell us the truth!

Being silent is useless!

Please tell us!

Don't just stand there!

-Tell us something!

Kazuko

Did he contact you?

-Stop being silent!

Don't you feel sorry for the boy?

-Speak to us!

What do you think?

My husband

Sano Bungo

won't do something he thinks is wrong.

As his wife

and someone who has

always been by his side

I can say this with confidence.

That's because Sano Bungo

is a kind person with pride.

As a police officer

his only duty is to protect the villagers

and our family.

That's who he is!

We, as his family

believe in him.

But a policeman is someone everybody can rely on.

Knowing this, he works and tries his very best.

That's why I fell in love with him.

As the wife of a cop,

I will protect the kids by his side.

That's what makes me happiest.

Nice to know your good relationship.

But the only ones who believe him is your family.

Who else is supposed to believe

in him if not his own family?!

You hear that?

Sorry for the fuss.

My wife's not gonna act as you wanted!

As a police officer,

I'm sure he is fighting against

the culprit somewhere now.

That's all I wanted to say.

Please leave.

You think we're gonna leave just like that?!

-How can you be so sure?

Then who is the real culprit?

Sano might have committed the crime!

Stop pretending with your crocodile tears!

Where is Sano? Give us a proper answer!

Shut up!

Shut the hell up!

Stop buzzing around like annoying mosquitoes!

You reporter bugs!

Find one evidence, wash your face

then come find me!

Go back!

Way to go, Kazuko!

My wife's awesome!

Take that, you b*stard!

I need to apologize to Dad.

I said bad things to him.

Don't worry.

Your Dad will understand.

Both Suzu and Shingo.

He knows you love him very much.

Do you think Dad's hurt somewhere?

He'll come back safely.

Don't worry.

Right, Shin-san?

Yes.

If Dad is confined by the culprit

it must be somewhere in the mountains.

But it's too wide to search.

Only way is to ask him.

What are you doing?

Satsuki sensei

Please leave!

-He's still unconcious?

Yes! He's suffered enough!

It's all Sano Bungo's fault.

How dare an adult like him

trample on an orphan's future?

He can't be forgiven.

I will protect

Mikio-kun.

You should be careful too.

Don't be fooled by that good guy.

I still can't find any clue about the real culprit.

What should I do?

Yuki's notebook?

Why?

What is this?

The village festival 12 years ago?

What happened at this festival?

Ishizaka

The principal's name.

Is the culprit trying to

make me meet the principal?

What kind of trap this time?

But

Without any clue at this moment

I can't stop the culprit.

Oh how nostalgic!

It's been 12 years huh.

Everyone in the village prepared for it.

I drew this picture, you know?

Um is this festival still going on?

That year was the last.

An incident happened, you see.

Incident?

What kind?

You think

this festival 12 years ago

has some connection to Sano-san's incident?

And you're suspecting me?

No, no, no.

That's not

But Sano-san

sure got in a huge trouble, didn't he?

A police officer poisoning a child.

What an awful thing.

Sano-san's not the culprit!

What's so funny?

You're just like Sano-san who's easily upset.

That's not true.

Who are you actually?

You appear out of nowhere in this village.

You disappear abruptly and then show up again.

At one point, you predict an avalanche.

Another time, you foresee an abduction.

More importantly,

You don't know both Mori Masako and Momoe-chan.

My son's a huge fan of Masako-chan.

Ma-Masako?

Mori Masako

Oh, Mori Masako

He knew?

But Shin-san

Yes.

I'm sure you're not lying.

You're not the type to fool or use someone.

You're exactly the same in

that aspect with Sano Bungo.

What?

I have a son with the same age as you.

But a good father-son relationship is not a given.

Please save Sano-san at all cost.

Yes.

The incident that happened at the

final festival 12 years ago

was food poisoning.

Poison?

Yes.

There was poisonous mushroom

in the mushroom soup.

A lady died in the incident.

Who is that person?

It was Tokumoto-san's mother.

Despite his appearance, he was a doting son.

He cried and cried.

He came as I thought.

Mikio-kun's still unconscious?

Yes.

Excuse me!

Not in.

Pharmaceutical poisons

Toku-chan

Alright, gotta persevere.

He's got a large build after all.

I still have no clue whatsoever.

At this rate, it's going to be night again.

Dad!

Dad?

Shin-san

I'm alive!

Dad!

Thank goodness!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm hungry!

There he is, Dad!

I'm home!

Shingo

I'm sorry Dad.

I'm sorry!

What's wrong, Suzu?

-I'm sorry!

Seriously~

Ouch!

Because of you, we're in big trouble again!

I'm sorry, Kazuko.

Bun-chan!

You're back!

That's great, Bungo-san.

Are you hungry?

Suzu-chan and Shingo,

you must be hungry.

We've got some good stuff.

C'mon!

So tasty!

Wow, this is amazing!

What's up?

-Nah.

Just thought it would cheer up Suzu and Shingo.

Since those annoying reporters

made a huge fuss.

I asked my uncle who's a

huntsman for a wild boar.

There's plenty of meat so eat all you want!

I'm hungry!

Thanks Toku-chan and Uncle Izawa.

I'll pour for you.

Come here.

Go ahead.

Please!

-Izawa-san

Sorry for the trouble.

Stop lowering you head.

When in trouble, we help each other.

That time during the gathering

I didn't really know what you were saying.

But no matter what, you're our ally of justice who protects the village.

Eat some wild boar and fight for us 24 hours!

Seriously you got everyone worried despite being an ally of justice.

I apologize.

By the way, I heard your speech on the TV.

That was awesome.

You bug reporters!

It was a once-in-a-lifetime television appearance!

I'm kinda hungry.

I should go eat too.

What happened?

I was blindfolded, tied to a chair and kept in some place.

What?

I didn't catch a glimpse of the culprit.

He must have done various plans in that hideout.

Then why were you released?

I don't know.

The hideout would be found so I can't think of a reason for me to be released.

Ah! Actually yesterday

this was on your desk in the office.

This notebook

It's mine which contains details of the future.

On the last page

This

Otousu Village Festival, 1977

I thought it's a message so I

went to ask Principal Ishizaka.

Then he told me about the food poisoning.

Yes! The poisonous mushroom!

Toku-chan's mother passed away.

Do you think Tokumoto-san

has any motive for the incident this time?

It can't be him.

Tasty!

I guess so.

He doesn't have any grudge against you.

Dad, you're not gonna eat this nabe?

It's delicious!

-Coming!

I'm going to the station after this

to explain the situation.

Oh, there was a detective called

Mabuchi who came yesterday.

He forcibly searched the house.

That guy seems quite determined

to make you the culprit.

Mabuchi huh.

He hated me since a long time ago.

But the fact remains that I was confined.

Don't worry.

Okay.

But we still have determine the culprit's motive.

You're gonna be targeted again.

We have to stop the culprit as soon as possible.

Yeah

I'll be right back. Until then, please

watch out for them.

Look, look.

-Wow the carrot's huge!

Got it.

But it's tasty.

I was looking forward to you, celebrity.

Above all, good to see you're safe.

The ally of justice was about to become a prominent villain of Heisei era.

Thanks for watching over me.

So you're not involved in the

attempted m*rder of Kato Mikio.

You also have no clue on the

culprit who abducted you.

If you searched the hut I was confined in,

you might be able to find something.

We'll check it out first thing tomorrow.

For now, please rest at the station.

The station?

You mean the detention center?

Since you're a cop, I hope you'd cooperate instead of questioning such petty rules.

You haven't been cleared of the charges yet.

If you're set free immediately, it will affect the trust of the citizens.

It's to protect the justice of the entire police force.

You like it, don't you?

Justice.

I understand, I'll go fetch you tomorrow.

Tomorrow? You mean, he's being detained?

He said it's not an arrest.

but it's strange, isn't it?

But we still have determine the culprit's motive.

You're gonna be targeted again.

The plan's not over yet.

Pests should just be eliminated.

I'm going to fetch him.

I'm gonna knock them down

if he's still not allowed back.

Take care.

Alright.

The culprit's aim must be the same as the Otousu Elementary case.

To drive my father to his death.

It's not over yet.

Is there any clue I overlooked?

From his house

So the potassium cyanide is hidden

somewhere in this house?

Sergeant Sano Bungo is a suspect in an attempted m*rder of a boy.

We're worried about him too.

Officer Mori here. Go ahead.

Otousu Village, street 1034.

Suspicious objects were found.

We found a dried up lighter and secretly taken photos of Akane-chan who was abducted.

And a floppy disk.

Floppy?

-Yes.

It's been broken into half.

Sano-san, it's time.

It was pretty comfy though.

The characters written on the label

are "Liaison Office Journal".

Did you see anyone pass by?

No.

Any cars?

When I arrived, a few cars passed by.

Anyone suspicious in the cars?

Thanks for your hard work, Boss!

Shaba's air is great!

Shaba is a reference to the world outside

of prison or freedom.

Can't believe a cop has to stay

overnight at the detention center.

That should be my line!

Can't believe a cop's wife was

hounded by the media.

Isn't it exciting?

Seriously only a fool would be optimistic.

I'm the only wife in the world who can stand such a troublesome husband like you.

You should be grateful.

Sorry.

Have I married the wrong guy?

Now, don't say that

Guess I'll just have to give up.

No!

No matter what happens

I'll be by your side.

Kazuko

You must be glad to have

such a good wife like me.

Can I kiss you?

You dumbass.

Why not?

-Focus on driving!

C'mon herehere..

That's not a kiss.

There's no potassium cyanide.

Dad

Where's the word processor?

Sano's word processor!

Wo-word processor?

Wait, what's going on?

What are you doing?

What is it?

Oh!

-Um?

I made pickled dried squid and carrots.

Then shall I drink a cup even though it's morning?

Shall we?

Shall we~

What kind of song is this?

The paraquat unexpectedly took a longer time.

I'll go with that drug for the event.

As planned, I'm gonna use it on larger human.

I've ordered the drug.

Firstly, I need to prepare for event.

Carefully.

I won't let anybody get in the way.

Tsubasa died. He's dumb but this makes it more exciting.

Two more months till the event.

I can't wait.

What the hell is this?

All these were done by Mikio.

Why are they in Dad's processor?

I've disposed all evidence outside the village in order not to be exposed.

But just in case

I buried the potassium cyanide behind the house.

This is Otousu Village Liaison Office.

Requesting urgent support!

No, that's not true.

That's not true!

Hey, it's Dad's.

I'm hungry.

Just a little longer.

Wait!

Please wait!

Wait!

What the hell's going on?

Found the potassium cyanide.

No

It can't be

Suzu, Shingo! I'm home!

No Dad!

Morning!

Morning!

Sano Bungo

We're taking you to the station as a suspect of serial m*rder.

Serial m*rder?

No, you got it wrong.

This is the culprit's trap.

What is it this time?

From the word processor in your house

we found documents with details about multiple murders.

-No, no, no.

And a perfect evidence.

What?

-You got it wrong!

It's all a trap!

I didn't do anything!

- I will

listen to you at the station.

Please listen!

Wait! Wait!

You got it wrong!

Sano-san didn't do anything!

Dad! Dad!

Dad! Dad!

All a trap!

Dad!

Don't worry! There must be a mistake!

I'll be right back.

Dad

Dad! Dad!

No! Sano-san!

Is this it?

This is Mikio's

-Thief!

I'm looking for Akane-chan.

It looks like anemometer.

Anemometer?

It was in the letter box.

Why does Suzu have to be targeted?

The culprit may have found my notebook.

Otousu Shrine. That's where Hasegawa died.

The end~!

How did Mikio predict your movement?

There's something wrong with Uncle Tanaka's condition.

You don't get it at all.

Mikio has an accomplice.

We still have to find the culprit's motive.

You're gonna be targeted again.

The culprit's objective

is to make Dad take the fall

for all the previous cases!

To make sure Dad gets the death sentence.
