01x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

[Authority] Excuse me, that schoolgirl
who's always playing games over there

hasn't come in today, has she?
Well, today

Thank you

[Jigen] Tominaga, did she always
come here?

I can't think of anywhere else

Ha ha ha ha...

Blimey, that girl.
Drunk?

And in uniform too. Ha ha ha...

She managed to get the SOS out properly.

Well done, mate.

Well, my place is nearby.
For now, come to mine.

Tominaga, can you manage?

Right
Ready, steady...

Right

Three of us wearing my clothes?
That's bloody hilarious!

[Tominaga, in a low voice] Sorry

Eh?

Sorry

If you want to talk, I'll listen
If you don't want to talk, you don't have to

If it's better to wait, I'll wait.

Anyway...

You know that, don't you, Okami?

I do wonder if that might be the case

It's about your precious family.

Mr Tominaga's younger brother.

I knew he had a disability

He has a congenital spinal condition
and is unable to walk.

He also has a mild intellectual disability,

and I heard his parents are
devoted to caring for him.

What I was concerned about was

that despite such family circumstances,
Mr Tominaga

spent his time
at the arcade

And yet...

Seeing the positive Mr Tominaga

I arbitrarily dismissed
that possibility

Is the Okami Detective's deduction correct?

Tominaga

My brother...

He becomes unstable when I'm around.

My brother has a rule

go into his room
He has his own rules

So I made sure to
get back after that time.

That's tough...

I remember

Ryū-chan...

My little brother

The day he
ended up disliking me

You know, that relative... the sort who turns up now and then

A nice person, but

The sort who says things
they really shouldn't

That person

Big sis is going to Tokyo University, right?

She should've shared half with Ryu-chan.
That's what she said.

No bloody way.

[Tominaga]
I yelled, ‘Don't mess with me!’

[Tominaga] But that was the end of it.

Ryū-chan

isn't the Ryu-chan I know
anymore

Can I ask what happened today?

[Tominaga] Ryu-chan's been acting up lately

Mum said
she couldn't handle it anymore

I got a call about it→

So I rushed home and

He was really going berserk...

I just blurted it out

‘Cut it out already!’

[Tominaga] Covered in blood
When I saw Ryu-chan's palm

All I can do

I thought maybe
the only thing I could do

[Tominaga] was to not be here.

Oh, I see

Thanks for calling me.

I was really glad.

[Tominaga] Eh...

I'm an idiot, aren't I?

Having students rely on you...

is such a joy, you know.

[Knock]

Busy at the moment.

[Tamayo] Just open it!

Sorry, here goes

Ahh~
[Tamayo] You must be hungry, right?

Something warm to fill your tummy.

I'm sorry.
It's alright.

It must be hard working late, actually.

No

Listen, Tominaga-chan

Stay at my place tonight.
Eh?

Well, tomorrow is Saturday, after all.
I know it might seem a bit nosy, but...

I've already phoned your mum.

Ah, Mum. Good job.

From Mum
I heard a bit about the situation

So if it's alright with you

Thank you
[Tamayo claps her hands]

Right then, it's settled
Right, eat your udon →

If you eat udon
most things will work out somehow

Let's eat
Here you go, please help yourself

Take your time.
Thank you.

Yes.

[Tokura] I've been wondering about this for ages.

These past four years, I kept thinking
something might happen.

[Kanzaki] Mr Togura
He told me everything

To obtain the exam questions
He hacked into the school's system

And then he got caught.

I was in a really bad place mentally at the time

I hadn't covered the material at all and

I was panicking and then...

Please tell me

What happened?

[Yuko]
I desperately negotiated with the school

to prevent Togura-kun from being disciplined.
That's all.

He should have
properly faced the consequences.

That...

Was there some sort of condition?
Wasn't there?

No disciplinary action whatsoever?
That's unnatural, no matter how you look at it.

The fact that serious Togura-kun
was driven to that point

because the school failed to properly

take into account
the student's mental state.

In other words, it's my responsibility, isn't it?

That way of putting it...

So there were conditions after all

[Kanzaki]
And the reason the teacher left the school

That wasn't an affair.

It was sexual as*ault.

I respected him.
He always put his pupils first

He always put his own needs last

But, sir

Didn't you put off

something you shouldn't have?
→

By covering for me→

...all sorts of things went off the rails.

Because of that

your daughter was hurt

ended up causing that incident.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry→

I'm sorry

I

The school's fraudulent activities

helping with the school's fraudulent activities.

Fraud?

Neutoku had been

accepting students who gained entry fraudulently.

Could it be...

Did Mr Tsutsui find out about it
and force himself on you?

Well, yes

Is there anything that could serve as evidence?

No

Togura-kun

I'm the one who should be apologising

Spinning my wheels alone

Hurting you

You too

And my daughter

That

I won't forget

[Togura]
That you protected us with all your might →

I'll never forget it for the rest of my life

[Wakui] If you think of the slope
in terms of the tangent→

it's easy to solve, isn't it?
I see

You don't have to force it
into the cosine rule, you know.

[Kurayoshi] Wait a moment!
Wait a moment! The synapses are firing!

[Anzai] Oh! And then
the brain cells go clang!

[Kurayoshi] Eh~ What's this?
Good morning, new world kind of feeling... Ha ha ha ha...

[Shinonome] I might be having a good morning too

[Kurayoshi] Yee-ha! Hehehe...
[Wakui] Right then, next question→

Try solving this to test your skills
Oh, alright then. Let's do it. Let's do it.

[Ihara] Hold on a moment.
Not Good Morning, perhaps.

[Makino]
This. I got it from Mai-chan.

This.
[Tsubuki] What is it? This.

Ha ha ha ha. Cute.

Sorry about that
Mai-chan was keen to come

No, that's exactly it~
You're loved, aren't you~

No, I'm not so sure~

She's angry.

Useless when it really counts.

Tsubuki

What are we doing after the operation?

Eh? What do you mean?

Go back? To the Ministry of Education?

Right now... I can't really think about it.

As for me,

Of course
I want you to come back to Tsubuki.

I want you to come back, that's the premise
I want you to hear me out

If you're going to quit, now's the time

This is a right mess

Tsubuki

is the second one, you know

[Tsubuki] I know.

[Tsubuki] After collapsing,
his state of mind just... broke down...→

In the end, he took his own life.

I realised it →

But when the higher-ups told me...

[Makino] I just got stubborn, you see.

You're worried, aren't you?

Yes

I'm scared... Honestly, I can't sleep.

If you come back
I'll support you with all my might

If you're changing jobs
I'll help you with anything

Thank you

But

Is this the time to be worrying about me?

Mr Makino, you look rather awful.

I'm fine, thank you.

There you go

[Masakazu] Looks tasty
When you were little →

...when I said I wanted cake
Mum wouldn't let me have it.

[Masakazu] Mm, it's delicious.
Mm.

Did you manage to talk to Mr Tokui?

I'd heard that former Chairman Furu and Mr Tokui were
high school classmates

But he hasn't made any donations.
It seems unnatural, doesn't it?

Actually, Mr Tokui, back when the cram school was being set up,

as an external auditor
apparently.

Eh? Really?

And back in the cram school days, there were quite a few suspicions
about slush funds and such.

Seems he pulled out.

Mr Tokui mentioned it.

While Mr Kodai was talking about ideals

I started wondering if he might be the type
to deceive himself as well

That former chairman
makes everyone he meets

think he's a brilliant educator

I was too.

I was worried, Mum.

Because Fumika was a fussy eater
and rather frail

If she had cake
she wouldn't have room for dinner

It was Mum who put me in touch with Tokui-san too

Eh?

[Masakazu] Fumika's feelings
are probably getting through

Tominaga

[Imitating Sun Sun] Tominaga Are you alright?

What?
Calling me out to a place like this?

Okami: You absolutely
must be plotting something, right?

I felt better after eating udon.
So I'm fine.

Right

Sorry about that. Far away
No

Shall we go?

Mum

[Sonoko] Kōta, you came?

Let me introduce you. Students from my school:

Ms Tominaga and Jigen-kun.

Pleased to meet you.
Hello.

Mum
Shall we talk outside for a moment?

Would you mind listening to it with me?

I've been putting off this homework forever

I've been meaning to sort it out

Would you mind keeping an eye on things

This spot was Mum's favourite, you know.

Listen, Mum

I'm Takashi.

Understand? Takashi

What are you talking about? You're Kōta, aren't you?

Kōta

died. 22 years ago.

If that's alright with you, Mum

if that's alright with you

I wanted to stay Hirota

but

Yeah, I knew it was a lie.

Mum

Every time she calls me Hirota

I can't breathe

It's painful, you see

I thought I had to face it

I thought

I'm

Takashi Mikami.

Mogami Kouta is dead.

I... k*lled him.

It's not Mum's fault.

Kōta...

Big brother...

...chose that path himself.

No...

It's all my fault...

Mum

You see

I'm living for both of us
I intend to live

It's always been that way

And always will be.

Takashi?

Yes.

It's Takashi.

[Tominaga] I'll properly
talk to Ryu-chan.

Listen

Yes

I think, you see...

Mum

Next time we meet

as if nothing had happened

she'll call me
Kōta, I think

Your younger brother too

might not necessarily
respond to Mr Tominaga's feelings

I know that.

I know.

Feelings and words
can sometimes drift apart

I know

Even for us it's like that

For Ryu-chan
it must be incredibly difficult

But

Today

I love you, Ryu-chan

I want to say

You're so cute
I love you so much

But I couldn't say it for so long...

That

Because it was the hardest thing

[Tominaga] If →

Next→

Even if I was called Hirota again

...it would have been better to say it, right?→

Okami

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

What is it, Jigen?

What's up, Okami?
Heh heh heh

I'm fine.
Yes, Okami.

Yes

[Jigen] It's something amazing, isn't it?

What? Out of the blue

If I'm going to be a prosecutor
I need to know more about different kinds of lives

Jigen will make a fine legal professional.
Eh?


If you don't know love
You probably can't do it

Because I think it's a job you shouldn't do

Blimey, you're putting on some serious pressure
without even realising it, aren't you?

It's fine here
Yeah, right

Do your best.
I'll do my best.

[Jigen] Miyazawa and Fuyuki.
Did you get into the AO entrance exam?

[Miyazawa] Ah, well...
[Jigen] And Tokumori?

[Tokumori] I've already switched my focus to the standardised test.

[Jigen] Did you fail~?

Eh? What happened?
[Sakurai] Wakui's too popular

My turn never comes round

Can't be helped, Okami
Please

That “no choice” way of putting it
[Oguri] If you don't want to be told off

Be kind like Wakui

Oh dear
So what is it you don't understand?

[Shinonome] It's the inverse image method
[Shiiba] It's recovered quite a bit

Oh, I see.
[Kagawa] Ah, Professor Koreeda.

By any chance...
Could you handle classical Chinese too?

I can handle it.
In fact, please let me handle it.

Right then, all those lost souls struggling with Classical Chinese
Assemble at Mr Kore-eda's place!

Right
Let's do it.

Shall we try somewhere else?
Yeah

Morning, Tominaga.
Morning.

How was it?

Quite moving, actually.

Oh~ That's good.

For a given pair of X and Y

whether there exists a T
that satisfies the condition

Not bad
[Muraoka] What?

Congratulations
Yay!

The attitude of agreeing with what the master says
is

Wait... Hey, listen
Pointing out mistakes and trying to correct them...

Your handwriting's appalling.
[Kawashima] Eh?

Write properly.
Handwriting?

Start

[Chime]
Stop

[Kanzaki] Headmistress

Tomorrow, Yuzuru-san

I'll meet with Saejima-sensei

Kanzaki-kun, will you be present?

Yes
I see

[Tokumori] We're having a debrief!
Kanzaki-kun too!

Ah...

Right then
Oi oi oi, quick quick

Thanks to you, I managed to solve the essay question.
Ah, that's good.

[Ancient] About the other day, you see→

We'd like you to take over
from Mr Mizobata

And to make Rinnoku
an even more splendid school

Thank you

Therefore, next time
I would like you to meet Mr Nakaoka

Certainly.
At that time,

I have a request to make.
Yes.

I'll be in touch again.

[Vibrator rings]

[Tsukada] Yes, this is Tsukada.

I spoke to Mr Mikami.

So what did Mr Mikami say?

He agreed to take it on.
[Door lock unlocking sound]

So you're choosing Mr Mikami.

[Kodai] Yes. Regarding Chief Cabinet Secretary Higashimoto too→

...I thought he might
help us put out the fire

Mr Nakaoka also contacted me
saying Makino is out of the question.

Jealousy towards Mr Mikami

In Mr Mizobata's state,

anyone without educational ideals

should be asked to leave the stage.

Right then

Just as I thought

If we're to revise the national budget estimates
We must act now or it won't be ready in time

They intend to bring me in.

It'll stretch out.
Eh?

Such delicious ramen

If you eat it carelessly, you'll get what's coming to you.

Haaah~

Professor Mizobata
I believe he'll make up his mind.

When I joined, Mr Mizobata

was passionate about education.

But somehow,
he changed.

Many people have become

sacrifices to the educational ideals of the former chairman.

Baboons

pretending kindly to warn the gazelles
that lions were coming

Then, when they let their guard down
they eat the children themselves

Well, for the former chairman
the ideal of education

It's not a lie, is it?
The lion really is coming, after all.

Yes, that's right.

And rather than
being eaten by the lion,

he would
eat the gazelle's young himself.

That's clever.
Eh?

It's ramen.

Mr Makino, are you leaving?

Ah, Tsubuki.
Got an operation today, see...

His wife's been having contractions since yesterday.

Half a day off for that?

Yes, half a day off for that.

[Door opens]

[Yumihito] Listen,

What?

If I forget what I want to say

I'd be in a right pickle, so I wrote it down.

One thing.

I won't be seeing Mum anymore.

[Kanzaki] Eh?
Two things.

Mum

Please forget me

Three

The one who k*lled Shibuya Yusuke-kun was

Me.

Yuzuru.
Four.

It's not Mum's fault.

Yuzuru, stop it.
Itsutsu.

Really

I'm sorry

Yuzuru... Listen

That's all of it

Yuzuru-san

I understand. I really do understand...

It's about me and Mum.

Look, Yuzuru-san.

Everyone here

Everyone here carries a sin.

A sin they can share with no one.

[Kanzaki] That won't fade away→

Because→

No matter what you do, Mr Shibuya Yusuke
won't come back to life.

[Kanzaki] But

how much feeling

that Mr Saejima is here?

I...

I know that.

[Yuko]
I understand what you're trying to say.

I thought I understood.

Properly.
You want to make amends alone, don't you?

Kanzaki-kun...

Professor Mikami

...taught you that, didn't he?

And yet I

thought that if I sacrificed myself

[Yuko]
...leaving you all alone...

[Yuko] All for Yuzuru's sake

[Yuko] All for the students' sake

Continuing to show that side of myself

As a mother and as a teacher

I knew it was the worst thing

I didn't even try to see it

And

I cornered you

What Yumi said
I'll think it through properly

But at least one more time

I want to talk to you

[Yamazoe] Bloody hell!
[Yoshikawa] What is it?

[Yamazoe] No, the mock exam results
came out the other day→

Year 3, Class 2
My scores have gone up unbelievably.

[Yoshikawa]
Blimey, it's true. That's brilliant.

[Yamazoe] Bloody hell, right?
[Yoshikawa] Geography's gone up too.

[Yamazoe] That's brilliant, isn't it?
No, seriously, that's brilliant.

[Fuyuki] Ah, Teacher, everyone
is saying their rankings have gone up.

With this
your neck's saved, isn't it?

Ahh. Back from the guillotine.
I've come back to life.

Oh!
Alright then!

Let's start deliberating!

[Hatano] Right then~ Shall we do it?
Let's do it

Shall we give it a go?
Yeah

Bloody hell...

We're talking about studying, right?

Yeah, that's right.
Shall we start with maths?

Is that alright?
I can do this sort of thing...

What about geography? Geography...

Geography... um... 7 points more than last time...

That's right

Thanks a lot for the other day.

Ah, no...

If Kanzaki hadn't been there, I might have
pretended to be a sensible adult again

and come back home

Even if I wanted to change
it's not easy to change

At this age

it's hard for people to change

It's not about age

That's right

It's the first time, isn't it?
That Dr Saejima contacted you

Well, you see...

This...

Eh? This?

Aren't we supposed to look at this data?

Yeah, but the boss said to wait.

Yeah, it's about time.

Eh? Who is it?
I don't know either.

[knock]

Lord Yamato Takeru is here.

Eh?
Eh? What are you talking about?

Well, you'd understand if I said it

What on earth is that?

Eh? Eh...

Eh?

Ah, ah... Eh?!?

Let me introduce you. He's my colleague from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

Kyosuke Makino

Also known as Yamato Takeru.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Makino.

Eh? What do you mean?

Makino is my colleague from the same intake.
Whilst investigating this matter,

I was looking into Tonari Toki,
while Makino was investigating the Ministry of Education's movements.

So you're saying
they were in cahoots from the very beginning?

Well, that's the gist of it.
We won't keep it secret from now on.

You promised, didn't you?
This really is the last time.

What's with you, bureaucrat? You're bloody annoying~

You... you might be Mr Tominaga.

That's right. Why?
About the higher-ups.

Did you tell them off?

Which means
you're the landlord, Jigen-kun→

And this is Kanzaki-kun

Well, well
Looks like my personal info's been leaking like a sieve

I've been looking forward to meeting you

Shall we look at the data?

I'll explain why I couldn't produce it.

That's what I was told.

‘Eh? This...’
‘The data I took out. The whole lot.’

‘But there's no evidence...’

‘There was a reason I couldn't produce it.’

‘It wasn't just
Mr. Tokura who was covering for me.’

(If I entrusted you with this
it would be a burden, I know)

(But I've decided
to place my trust in you)

I see.

[Artificial Intelligence Lupin's voice] Click

Hey Lupin, nice to meet you

Clank
The name on this list

Probably the reason it couldn't be released

[g*nsh*t]

[Jigen] So these are the fraudulent entrants?

Not as many
as I thought.

Even if it's the top prefecture,
it's not Tokyo.

This is probably about right.

Eh?

[Moeka] Big sis, dinner's ready!

[Chigira] Coming now.

[Tominaga] Chikira...

[Door closes]
