Mamorarenakatta mono tachi e (2021) - full transcript
Nine years after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, two murder cases take place in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. The two victims are assumed to have been murdered by the same person. Both of the victims were tied all over their body and starved to death. Yasuhisa Tone emerges as a suspect in the murders. Yasuhisa was just recently released from prison. In his past, he committed arson and injured someone to protect his acquaintance. Detective Seiichiro Tomashino discovers a common link between the two victims and chases after Yasuhisa.
Are you hurt? Come this way.
This way.
It'll be OK!
It'll be OK!
It's OK, don't panic!
Isn't it cold over there?
Come here.
I'm OK.
Shiori Kuroiwa from Natori city
in Miyagi prefecture
has a message for
Mitsuo Kuroiwa.
"I'm at the town hall.”
Takashi Shimaya from
Ibaraki prefecture
has a message for
Yukuno Shimaya from
Miyagi prefecture.
"Are you OK? Give me a call,”
Naoki Hayashida from...
Voice message
from Noriko
Are you OK? We're fine.
Don't worry,
we will make it back.
A message for Ryuji Goto
from Ishinomaki city.
"Grandpa, Grandma, are you OK?"
9 years later
Ah! You have experience
I'm a level-2 machinist.
Tone here, doesn't need training..
So it seems.
Come this way.
See that up there?
That's the watermark from the tsunami 9 years ago.
So... What did you do?
Mr. Kushitani didn't tell you?
He just told me to look after you.
He's a parole officer who goes the extra mile...
Do you need to know... ?
Some of them have history, too.
And they're all hard workers.
I was In prison for arson.
Why... ?
Because they let us down...
Don't back out now, Mr. Sakamaki.
Trade is kind of slow right now...
I understand things are hard
but you took on other guys I brought in.
To be honest, I draw the line
at arsonists and murderers.
I'm Hasuda, Central Precinct.
I'm Tomashino.
A neighbor reported a steal.
The offender knows his way around.
This is ideal for hiding someone.
I guess he knew the building is
been empty for 2 years.
You got here fast.
The corners aren't transparent.
I'd say that he's been dead a week.
- External injuries?
- No.
There are no visible signs of
trauma to the head nor neck.
Don't contaminate the scene.
The victim's driver's license
and business card
were found!
Run a check.
Yes, Sir.
Don't touch him.
We still have to examine him..
No!
Thank you.
So he last contacted you on April 27?
Yes, he was always home by 10 pm
but not that day...
Was my husband killed?
Would anyone want him killed?
Did he have any enemies, Mrs. Mikumo?
No.
My husband was
almost too kind, In my opinion.
After the earthquake
he went out on his own
to fix the fallen tombstones.
Even the abandoned ones!
When I was unwell,
he suggested we move to Sendai.
He had to retake the exam
in order to work here.
He was kind and never
envious or resentful...
Mikumo was the ideal welfare officer.
- Can we borrow this ?
- Go ahead.
Talk to Mikumo's colleague.
Ms. Maruyama!
Yes
She might be able to help.
- Use the meeting room.
-OK.
Please sit.
Your name...
Mikiko.
So Mikumo assessed the applications ?
Could he abuse his authority as a supervisor ?
No.
The Director signed the evaluations,
not Mikumo.
Maybe he upset people who he turned down?
His role in assessing applications wasnt known.
Besides...
these people wouldnt retaliate.
How do you mean?
They're busy
trying to survive.
You need to submit a medical certificate.
I do?
From the hospital, to verify your situation.
They prefer not to depend on the government.
Many are like that.
- They might...
- Enough.
I heard that Mikumo was a good man.
Yes.
The victim is Tadakatsu Mikumo, 41.
From the post-mortem report and forensic evidence
we know he was abducted 2 weeks earlier.
A few days into his abduction he began dehydrating
and about a week later he died of hunger.
Forensics have the details.
There's no sign that the tape on his mouth had been reapplied.
This shows how he was positioned.
The apartment house is located in Wakaba ward
In an undeveloped area.
There are no security cameras in the vicinity.
Ask around the neighborhood
and find out what you can.
And keep in mind that the victim was a welfare officer.
Dismissed.
Yes, Sir.
Don't you approve of my methods?
Sorry?
He was left to starve
and his money wasn't stolen.
It must be a grudge killing.
What are you, the commander ?
The rumor is true.
You never get promoted and you're a loner.
That's how I like it.
What a pain in the ass...!
Laundry Room
Washing machines out of order
Help me
First,
write down the names of missing people
over here.
That building there Is not to be entered.
Write the names, a description
of the missing person and address.
We'll contact you if we find a match.
This kid's mom is missing!
Let me see if my sister's in there!
You can't yet.
The police will check the lists and call you.
I lost my phone in the tsunami
I beg you!
We came all the way here!
We can't go home with nothing.
I'm sorry.
Tone-kun
You're under your boss's care now. Keep it up!
It's a sofa bed.
You can sleep here.
‘Til you find a place.
The bread is here.
Pick up your ration.
Take one.
What do you think you're doing?
Get to the end of the line!
What's that?
Son of a bitch!
You jerk!
Lay off, asshole!
Lay off!
Get off me!
This is from Kei.
Come on, stop looking so grumpy.
I told you, no one held a grudge against Mikumo.
We just want a look.
sorry?
I need to...
verify it for myself.
I need to see it to believe it.
Okay.
Does "seeing it" help you understand ?
What's that?
I was at college in 2011.
I was In Tokyo so
I'll never know how bad it was here.
But I dislike people who have to "see to believe.”
Oh God, it's him...
Dad, it's me, Miyu!
It's my wife.
There's no doubt.
She was holding this watch.
She probably got pulled out to sea and drifted back
to the beach where she was found.
The watch... belongs to my son.
Give him back!
Give him back to me!
Poor kid... Her mother is dead.
Thank you so much.
Did they find your, mother ?
They found...
my wife, too.
That's good...
I don't know.
Is it good?
My son...
He hasn't been found yet.
He was wearing a yellow jacket like yours.
Mom told me to wear it when we evacuated.
It's my last memory of her.
I came to see you, Ms. Tokashiki because
of an anonymous phone call.
Come in.
Thank you.
So...
I was informed that you are working as a Cashier.
It's only temporary.
At Sakurai Supermarket.
I checked your timecard.
You've been working full-time for 4 months.
You get 128,000 yen a month.
You know what ?
Cacao helps you relax.
If you don't mind...
Let me remind you, Ms. Tokashiki.
If your income exceeds your welfare allowance
you'll have to return it.
Wait a minute..
If you don't say anything, no one will know.
You're on benefits because you're too Sick to work...
That's not fair!
How about my kid, with her depressed welfare mom ?
She needs to study!
I need money for school lunches and school trips...
I can pay for that because of your benefits.
But
kids at school found out that I'm on welfare.
So my daughter
got bullied.
That's why I wanted her to
go to cram school instead...
If I'm on welfare
do I have to give up those options?
It's not my car.
- A friend parks it here.
- Can I see the registration?
It was a gift.
You could get good money for it.
This car's a luxury not a necessity.
You bitch!
Stop that!
Who, are you?
A police officer.
Tricky bitch...
Your hand seems OK.
If you're able to work
you should.
Look for a job
so that you can be financially independent.
Or return the payments for your invalid claim.
Let me tell you
the money you defrauded from us
should go to the needy!
That's enough for today.
Why did you stop me?
I wasn't finished.
You only confronted him because we were there.
Yes. I used you.
Hey...
After the disaster
many disadvantaged people moved to Sendai city.
We can't ignore frauds
when people are desperate.
The earthquake...
changed everything.
I know it did.
No, you don't,
sergeant!
A welfare officer named
Tadakatsu Mikumo was found dead.
This is it!
Yes, all those police cars.
They were investigating.
- You'll be arrested!
- Why me?
I think you did it.
Not me.
How about you?
“The neighbors noticed a stench and called the police.”
“The responding officers found me”
“Mikumo in the apartment, tied in duct tape.”
"The police speculate that he was abducted"
Over there.
I'd say he died a week ago.
No neck trauma...
It resembles the Mikumo case.
It's too early to know.
Call the hospital to prepare for an autopsy.
Yes, Sir.
The victim is Takeru Jonouchi,
the Social Welfare Vice Chair.
He wasnt involved in any scandals
and he was known as a man of Integrity.
Any footprints ?
We found prints near the crime scene.
They had no tread pattern, like slippers.
Similar ones were at the Mikumo crime scene.
The first body was in Wakaba but this was in Rifu town.
They're 30 km apart so look for links.
The victims had worked together
as welfare officers In the same office.
as welfare officers in the same office.
We're assuming it was a grudge killing.
Yes, Sir.
When did Mikumo and Jonouchi work here?
Jonouchi was the Director from 2014 to 2017
Mikumo worked here from 2014 to 2017
Follow me.
Mikumo dealt with applicants ?
Yes, he was also a caseworker.
How many cases were rejected while they were here?
I'll have to go through the old files...
They're digitally archived?
The applications are handwritten.
Good. Show me every one of them.
We'll need a written request.
We have our procedures
I see. Can I use your phone?
Who are you calling?
The prefectural police.
Just call
the Chief of Prefectural Police!
Officials hate officials with more power.
We're the same.
l didn't plan to be
a small-town cop.
Too bad you failed
the Tokyo Metropolitan Police exam!
Competition was tough.
Prove your worth then!
Give me a hand, boys!
Yes, Sir.
Look for applicants who might be resentful.
Processed
I don't know why my application was rejected.
My only guess is that
they never intended to give me benefits all along.
I see
What was-the name of the officer ?
The one named Mikumo.
I can't tell if he was good or bad.
He's slippery and kind of detached.
He's good at pretending to listen.
And you were rejected?
Yes
That's why I'm here.
Mrs. Sasaki
you have to come to the office with me.
You need to fill out the application yourself.
I don't know. I wouldn't want to be a bother to anyone.
That's wrong!
Your generation is always afraid of being a nuisance
but you're not.
You're entitled to
minimum living standards under the constitution.
And the government is here to support that.
And the government Is here to support that.
You can ask for help.
You have to ask for help.
Mrs. Sasaki.
I'll come with you.
OK?
They said he was good!
A man of integrity, he’s not!
The welfare system is corrupt!
You've gone too far.
It has to be a voluntary act...
You can't force her.
Mrs. Sasaki really needs welfare benefits.
Start from the beginning.
Do you think our work's worthwhile?
It is.
Of course.
Shelter rules
Are you OK?
My uncle...
went to Fukushima.
Fukushima ?
His daughter...
my cousin... she's missing.
He told me to wait here for him.
You are all by yourself?
Yes.
Here.
You can eat that.
You can talk to me any time.
Let's go to Kei's place.
Come on!
Hurry!
Kei!
Welcome home!
Thank you!
I'm home.
Say "I'm home"
What?
Say "I’m home"
I'm home.
Welcome home!
What's your name?
Yasuhisa Tone.
Tone.
That's the first time I've seen you smile!
You definitely look better when you smile.
I know I'm not supposed to come home yet but
I can't fit into those groups at the shelter.
I can relax better at home.
It's dangerous with the tremors...
I used to be busy but
Toshima Barber
not anymore.
not anymore.
Go ahead.
Come and eat!
Thank you for the meal.
What work do you do, Tone?
Seafood processing.
That means..
Yes, it was wiped out. And my apartment...
Just like my house...
How about your friends?
I don't have any.
Smile.
If you smile
everyone will be nice to you.
I'll go back.
Just stay tonight.
It's late.
There're no futons.
Kan-chan can sleep in my futon
and you take my husband's old one.
Just tonight, Yasuhisa. Just tonight.
Kei, can I come here again tomorrow ?
Sleep.
It's bedtime.
I always used to stay up...
I stayed awake, to wait for mom to come home.
When she came home
I could smell her perfume.
So I knew right away.
But when she hugged me
she smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.
So I told her to go away.
I shouldn't have.
Because she'll never come home now.
I don't know who to be angry with.
Can I tell you about me?
I was out doing my weekly shopping as usual
when it came up to me...
It was so close.
The tsunami, I mean.
Then out of nowhere, I got a burst of energy.
I have trouble with my knees
but I put all my effort into climbing the hill.
My life is hardly ideal but I survived.
To be alone here.
Why did I survive?
But then it occurred to me now.
It was good...!
I'm glad I'm alive.
So that I can
hug you like this!
Give me a break.
Who wants to listen to that!
Tone?
What's up?
Is it OK..
that I lived ?
Of course it is!
Smile.
Try to smile.
Tone.
Hamakaze Bed and Breakfast
Are you
looking for something?
Uh...
There was a girl named Kan-chan...
I think she lived here. Is she around ?
And you are... ?
We used to know each other.
How?
We were in the same shelter after the earthquake.
I see...
You must have had a hard time, too.
Kan-chan..
Was she happy here?
I like to think so
Just wait a minute...
Hello?
Someone is here, looking for her.
Just now.
They were in the same shelter.
A man. He appears to be about 30...
Do I have to?
Yes! To make a good impression!
Utsunomiya Ironworks
It's in Tochigi. It's so far away.
That's what it takes to get a job these days.
I'll be right back.
Work is a priority.
e have to make a living.
See you later!
See you.
See you later!
I'm writing about the 10th anniversary
of the devastating tsunami.
I'm looking for a girl named Kan-chan
who lived in a shelter.
It's a follow-up on her life.
Yes.
I'll get her permission.
Rifu Orphanage
Wakaba Ward
There were upset applicants!
There were cases.
You hid them.
Sorry... Can I have a word?
Misleading officers is a crime...
It was the Director.
Kozuka... and Kubota.
Kozuka, the man with the knife, died.
Kubota moved away.
Who is this?
Kei Toshima was... an old woman.
She
knew this arsonist.
The arsonist's name isn't here.
Do you know his name?
Yasuhisa Tone.
In the Wakaba area
a suspected serial killer is at large.
He was on Wakaba Street in a black coat with a hood.
A clerk we'd talked to called us.
Got it.
Officer Hasuda
uproored hidden evidence.
Yasuhisa Tone is our prime suspect!
Find him!
Yes, sir!
Stop!
Tone!
Freeze!
Stop!
Damn...!
See you tomorrow.
I was looking for you.
Why...?
I thought you had 2 more years...
I got good behavior.
You know
I‘ve made a new life for myself.
Why do you work in welfare?
Is that your way to...
I want to save them.
You might think it’s too late but
it's not.
It's pointless.
They cant be saved.
That's where youre wrong.
Yasuthisa!
I knew it was you! Where have you been?
What ?
The high school uniform...
You look
like a girl.
You're sexualizing me.
No, I'm not sexualizing you.
Welcome home, Yasuhisa.
Yes, I'm home.
Kei!
Kei.
Kei?
Welcome home.
Don't get up.
You bought so many groceries!
For the neighbors?
No one lives here. I know that.
Education
Helping needy children
Bank passbook
Here, Tone. Eat this.
You eat it.
Never mind me’1
I'm not hungry.
You must be!
Do you get a pension?
I couldn't afford the payments.
How's island life, Kan-chan?
Worry about yourself!
People worry about others, not themselves.
You haven't been eating.
It's OK.
It is not!
There is social welfare.
Apply for it.
No matter how difficult life gets
I don't want to depend on the government.
Stop that!
You'll starve!
This is not
a stranger's business.
That's ridiculous.
Who's a stranger?
Don't be stupid!
Kan-chan and I..
We don't want you to die! You have to live!
We see you as our real mother.
Don't you know that ?
Okay.
I'll do it.
The utilities were shut off...
I see
Let me check if an Interview room is available.
Sorry but
your circumstances don't meet with our criteria.
You want a job in the food trade
but you need to be open to other jobs.
Youre 39 and healthy!
You'll get work.
What's your relationship with the applicant ?
We're just friends.
Can't you support her ?
Community is the best way to reduce poverty.
Neighbors can provide a lot more than we can.
Ma'am.
There is disaster assistance.
You can apply for it if your house is damaged.
My house is OK Good.
A room is available.
Are you related to her?
No.
Where's the application?
The applicant has to ask for it.
Kei, ask for it.
Kei.
Social welfare...
I want to apply for it.
OK, let's give it a try.
OK, Kamisaki?
Can you come to the interview room please?
Process this.
Thank you.
I've always taken care of myself.
You've done a great job of that, Kei.
Think of this as your reward.
OK?
"I took Kei Toshima to the Social Welfare office
to help with her welfare application."
"It was approved but it caused me to commit a crime.
Who interviewed her ?
Takehiro Kamisaki.
Kamisaki..
The congressman
Yes, he's popular for his liberal views.
Tone grew up here.
From what age?
Since his birth.
He was found in a public toilet
with his umbilical cord attached.
Somehow he got wind of that information.
It traumatized him and
as aresult, he hears sounds in his head.
The noise of gushing water.
You mean the young man?
After the earthquake, I was so preoccupied
I was preoccupied
There was him, a little girl and an old lady.
There was him, a little girl
and an old lady.
It was an unusual combination.
They'd be in a corner of the room...
They seeme'd to have a closer bond than the other evacuees.
They were at the shelter ?
They called the girl Kan-chan.
Sometimes I still think about them.
The three of them, together like areal family.
See?
The posters are up!
Guys, meet Kamisaki.
Hello!
Thank you, everyone.
You like my office? Sure do.
And the location...
Kei's dead.
Kei Toshima
died!
Of starvation!
So I heard. I'm terribly sorry.
What did you do to her?
She qualified for assistance!
She cancelled it herself.
- She wouldn't do that.
- But she did!
She did it herself.
Bullshit!
Kei wouldn't do such a thing!
Our policy is to respect the applicant's will.
We simply adhered, to it.
Let me go, please.
Director..
In 2013
the social welfare act was
revised and enacted in 2014.
Since then the application
process became tougher.
Only 1% of Japanese people are on welfare.
US and Europe where it's 5 to 10%.
The United Nations advised our government
to provide more social welfare.
That's the country we live in.
But I'm wasting my words on you.
The people who died in the disaster were victims
and you made your choices.
Think about the reasons behind it
and stop blaming others.
We all want to die with dignity.
Surrounded by loved ones.
These days, that's a luxury.
We all die alone.
Poverty Behind Family Tragedy?
Attempted Murder-Suicide
Are you related.
I'm Ms. Tokashiki's welfare officer.
They’re OK.
But you cant
see her or her daughter yet.
I was waiting for you
so I could ask you some questions.
I heard you lost your mother In the tsunami.
Who told you that?
You, were at the orphanage and
you were adopted.
was just one of many.
But you, Ms. Maruyama
turned your bad luck around
and help the destitute.
I can't help them all.
Like Ms. Tokashiki.
I heard you met two persons in the shelter.
Kei Toshima
and
Yasuhisa Tone.
Is that right ?
Mikiko Maruyama.
You were called Kan because Mikiko
also reads Kan.
Not anymore.
Do you know where I can find Tone?
No. Wo haven't been in touch.
What went on with you three in the shelter ?
Am I wrong when I say Tone
wanted revenge for Kei Toshima?
Yasuhisa is...
Tone is..
He can't express his emotions but
deep down he's kind.
That's the Yasuhisa Tone I know.
How can you stay so strong?
Well...
I just wondered.
You have to ask for help.
If you do
someone will respond.
There's still hope.
Someone
will reach out to you.
Oh my God, It’s over...
It's too late!
Can we proceed?
Congressman, it's time.
There's quite a turnout. Are you nervous?
Social welfare in this country
is a serious problem.
It's not just politics,
it's about worsening poverty.
Poverty must be tackled by every one of us.
A life of poverty means
not knowing when you'll eat or where you'll sleep.
You lose hope living like that.
It's a lifestyle that wears you down.
I've seen many people's lives being ruined by it.
Unfortunately
it could happen to any of us
Will Tone come?
Be quiet.
Kamisaki had protection since yesterday.
Maybe there's a risk of him being abducted.
But not here.
Abduction isn't the only threat.
It's time
to take a stance and say, “No more poverty!”
Hey!
Kamisaki.
Listen to me.
- Kamisaki!
- Halt!
Yasuhisa Tone!
Drive!
Kamisaki!
- Kamisaki! - Shut up.
Arrest him!
For interference at 3:41 pm.
We've got you.
Tone confessed so isn't the case closed ?
Sergeant!
What did you do
after Mikumo's body was found?
I knew the police were moving in.
So I hid in internet cafes until I got Jonouchi.
When does Kamisaki leave Sendai ?
Bring him to me now.
If not
disclose what he did.
And make him publicly apologize.
Do you know this man?
"Yasuhisa Tone was arrested for”
attempted assault.
The 31-year-old works at a local plant.”
They arrested the killer.
“Tone is a suspect in the death”
"who was found on May 17 and” *
"Takeru Jonouch! who was found dead"
"on May 26.”
“Tone is still being questioned"
He's hiding something.
Slow down. We're yet to confirm what he told us.
Let me try as a cross-jurisdictional investigator.
No. That'd violate police regulations.
The police system is so rigid!
Wait!
Where are you going?
To find something to make him talk.
His public appearance tomorrow is a worry.
But the elections are soon.
I've known him since high school!
so I let him use this space.
He's a good friend.
Ill be downstairs.
Tone wants you to make a public apology.
About Kei Toshima?
Why did she back out?
Sit down.
Maybe the stigma of being on welfare bothered her.
It's hard to believe that was an issue.
She was very close to people
she met at the shelter.
They gave her the will to live.
Kei Toshima
had a daughter.
In our background check
We learned that before she married
a barber,she had a baby.
Her first husband was violent so she left him.
When she remarried she had to adopt out her child.
I suggested that her daughter might care for her.
My daughter
wouldn't know who I am.
She thinks her adoptive parents are her parents.
Just for money...
I wouldn't want her
to know my situation.
Calm down.
If you don't want to contact her...
Mrs. Toshima.
If you don't need the benefits
you can cancel it.
"Kei Toshima’
“hereby cancel..."
But you knew her situation.
you knew she'd have a hard time without welfare.
I knew but at that time
I couldn't think straight.
Why not ?
Because...
we were all exhausted...
Mikumo used to say
after the earthquake
that we couldn't save everyone.
I lost my family in the earthquake so
I understood his position.
With the evacuees and the piles of extra work...
The government merit pressured us
to make cutbacks
and there were cases of welfare fraud.
That's when Mikumo made a specific decision
to stick to the rules.
That way
we could save more people In the long run.
That's what he believed.
You put Jonouchi
In a deserted chicken farm to conceal the stench.
Again, you were careful
not to leave identifiable footprints.
Now I'll verify your account.
Why did you kill that order?
It's over!
- What a long class!
- Time for home.
Bye, kids!
Excuse me, ma'am!
My mother...
My adoptive parents told me
that she died when I was little.
I see.
Is there a problem?
No. I guess we misunderstood
some information.
Sorry to take up your time.
Sergeant... ?
Please...
Yes...?
The kids you teach from now...
I hope they're brave
and kind children.
Please bring them up
so they'll be like that.
ENGLISH CAMP
Let me talk to Tone.
I need to talk to him!
Inspector!
Please let him.
I'm Tomashino.
This is Hasuda.
I told the other guy everything.
Do you know why Kei Toshima
withdrew her application?
Because...
that's what they wanted from the beginning.
That's not all.
She had a daughter.
That's one reason why.
She blamed herself for giving her up.
If she reached out
her daughter's life would be turned upside down.
In the end Kei never met her daughter.
But she had the two of you instead.
The time she spent with you and Kan-chan
was like making a new family.
You gave her a moment of happiness.
If that's true
she could've lived for us.
She chose to die instead.
The assholes knew...
but they let her Starve herself to death!
They could've looked after her.
Is that you, Miyahara?
Kamisaki is missing?
It might be related to yesterday's incident.
The higher-ups are concerned...
You wanted someone to see Kamisaki apologize.
You hoped to change that person's mind.
Kamisaki is missing.
Sit down!
I have to go!
Did you take the rap for someone else?
Where is he?
Let's go!
You'll be suspended for doing this.
Keep me out of this.
Hazardous, Keep Out
It's so rundown...
Anyone there?
It's the police!
Stay away!
Or else
I'll kill Kamisaki.
Kan-chan!
It's me.
It's Yasuhisa.
Kan-chan.
Say something.
I'll finish..
what I started.
Don't do it, Kan-chan.
It's OK, Yasuhisa!
I'll take responsibility for what I've done!
Contact HQ and ask for backup.
OK.
Hey.
I can get her to talk.
OK.
Kan-chan.
Let's stop.
It's too late.
It never is.
Come to me.
Earthquakes and tsunamis...
are monsters.
We have no chance against them.
They break in,
destroy everything
and take many lives,
And Mom.
I didn't know who to hate.
But that's not why Kei died.
That was caused by people!
We're all responsible for her death!
I know how you feel, Kan-chan.
But we should stop.
Don't kill Kamisaki.
Please.
Come to me.
Kan-chan.
Kan-chan.
Kan-chan.
Don't.
Please don't.
Kan-chan.
Kan-chan.
Oh my God, it’s over...
It's too late...
You are wrong!
Oh my God, it's over...
It's too late!
Listen, Maruyama.
His family died in the tsunami
so he wants to make changes.
Kan-chan.
After Kei passed away
did you ever come here?
You see the sliding door ?
On the door
she wrote a message to you.
She must have used her last
bit of energy to write it.
Kan-chan.
Call an ambulance.
Welcome home.
Welcome home.
Kan-chan.
Are you clear ?
Turn around.
Inspector!
This way.
We'll put you in the ambulance.
Ready, 1,2 and 3.
Sergeant Tomashino.
Maruyama posted this
before she abducted Kamisaki.
I'm Mikiko Maruyama.
I work for Wakaba's Welfare Service.
I have decided to quit for personal reasons.
I'd like to share my thoughts with the other officers.
I know you are devoted and responsible.
Except for an unethical 1
But own job requires more than devotion.
Because social welfare is
the last and only safety net.
You have to do more!
You have to reinterpret our instructions sometimes
If you want to save lives.
If you blame applicants for their troubles
you must accept the consequences.
Me too.
I will be accountable for the things I do now.
One more thing.
Those who need saving...
Please ask for help.
When you stfut yourself off
you feel so alone in the world.
But that’s wrong.
The world is bigger than you think.
here is always someone who cares for you.
I know because
I was saved by those people.
You aren't alone even if you think you are.
Try again.
Pluck up the courage to ask for help.
Be louder than the unethical officers.
You have nothing to be ashamed of.
What she did is not excusable by any means
but she presented some questions
that I need to think about.
Her actions cast a light
On a mistake I made.
Accept my apology.
Mr. Kamisaki.
What's your relation to the case?
No one can stop me.
Everyone deserves
to live.
Just 5 minutes.
He violated his parole.
Come with me.
Over there.
My wife's body was found.
My son
is still missing.
I failed to save them.
But you
tried to save Kan-chan.
No.
I didn't.
I failed.
On that day
a boy was drowning before my eyes.
I wanted to help but...
I was afraid of the water.
I just watched.
I watched him sink, in his yellow jacket...
I couldn't dive in.
I left him to die..
So when I saw Kan-@han in the yellow jacket
I vowed to protect her.
I vowed never to leave her.
Thank you.
You tried to save everyone.
And for telling me...
Thank you.
Good Morning, My son.
This way.
It'll be OK!
It'll be OK!
It's OK, don't panic!
Isn't it cold over there?
Come here.
I'm OK.

9 years later
Ah! You have experience
I'm a level-2 machinist.
Tone here, doesn't need training..
So it seems.
Come this way.
See that up there?
That's the watermark from the tsunami 9 years ago.
So... What did you do?
Mr. Kushitani didn't tell you?
He just told me to look after you.
He's a parole officer who goes the extra mile...
Do you need to know... ?
Some of them have history, too.
And they're all hard workers.
I was In prison for arson.
Why... ?
Because they let us down...
Don't back out now, Mr. Sakamaki.
Trade is kind of slow right now...
I understand things are hard
but you took on other guys I brought in.
To be honest, I draw the line
at arsonists and murderers.
I'm Hasuda, Central Precinct.
I'm Tomashino.
A neighbor reported a steal.
The offender knows his way around.
This is ideal for hiding someone.
I guess he knew the building is
been empty for 2 years.
You got here fast.
The corners aren't transparent.
I'd say that he's been dead a week.
- External injuries?
- No.
There are no visible signs of
trauma to the head nor neck.
Don't contaminate the scene.
The victim's driver's license
and business card
were found!
Run a check.
Yes, Sir.
Don't touch him.
We still have to examine him..
No!
Thank you.
So he last contacted you on April 27?
Yes, he was always home by 10 pm
but not that day...
Was my husband killed?
Would anyone want him killed?
Did he have any enemies, Mrs. Mikumo?
No.
My husband was
almost too kind, In my opinion.
After the earthquake
he went out on his own
to fix the fallen tombstones.
Even the abandoned ones!
When I was unwell,
he suggested we move to Sendai.
He had to retake the exam
in order to work here.
He was kind and never
envious or resentful...
Mikumo was the ideal welfare officer.
- Can we borrow this ?
- Go ahead.
Talk to Mikumo's colleague.
Ms. Maruyama!
Yes
She might be able to help.
- Use the meeting room.
-OK.
Please sit.
Your name...
Mikiko.
So Mikumo assessed the applications ?
Could he abuse his authority as a supervisor ?
No.
The Director signed the evaluations,
not Mikumo.
Maybe he upset people who he turned down?
His role in assessing applications wasnt known.
Besides...
these people wouldnt retaliate.
How do you mean?
They're busy
trying to survive.
You need to submit a medical certificate.
I do?
From the hospital, to verify your situation.
They prefer not to depend on the government.
Many are like that.
- They might...
- Enough.
I heard that Mikumo was a good man.
Yes.
The victim is Tadakatsu Mikumo, 41.
From the post-mortem report and forensic evidence
we know he was abducted 2 weeks earlier.
A few days into his abduction he began dehydrating
and about a week later he died of hunger.
Forensics have the details.
There's no sign that the tape on his mouth had been reapplied.
This shows how he was positioned.
The apartment house is located in Wakaba ward
In an undeveloped area.
There are no security cameras in the vicinity.
Ask around the neighborhood
and find out what you can.
And keep in mind that the victim was a welfare officer.
Dismissed.
Yes, Sir.
Don't you approve of my methods?
Sorry?
He was left to starve
and his money wasn't stolen.
It must be a grudge killing.
What are you, the commander ?
The rumor is true.
You never get promoted and you're a loner.
That's how I like it.
What a pain in the ass...!
Laundry Room
Washing machines out of order
Help me
First,
write down the names of missing people
over here.
That building there Is not to be entered.
Write the names, a description
of the missing person and address.
We'll contact you if we find a match.
This kid's mom is missing!
Let me see if my sister's in there!
You can't yet.
The police will check the lists and call you.
I lost my phone in the tsunami
I beg you!
We came all the way here!
We can't go home with nothing.
I'm sorry.
Tone-kun
You're under your boss's care now. Keep it up!
It's a sofa bed.
You can sleep here.
‘Til you find a place.
The bread is here.
Pick up your ration.
Take one.
What do you think you're doing?
Get to the end of the line!
What's that?
Son of a bitch!
You jerk!
Lay off, asshole!
Lay off!
Get off me!
This is from Kei.
Come on, stop looking so grumpy.
I told you, no one held a grudge against Mikumo.
We just want a look.
sorry?
I need to...
verify it for myself.
I need to see it to believe it.
Okay.
Does "seeing it" help you understand ?
What's that?
I was at college in 2011.
I was In Tokyo so
I'll never know how bad it was here.
But I dislike people who have to "see to believe.”
Oh God, it's him...
Dad, it's me, Miyu!
It's my wife.
There's no doubt.
She was holding this watch.
She probably got pulled out to sea and drifted back
to the beach where she was found.
The watch... belongs to my son.
Give him back!
Give him back to me!
Poor kid... Her mother is dead.
Thank you so much.
Did they find your, mother ?
They found...
my wife, too.
That's good...
I don't know.
Is it good?
My son...
He hasn't been found yet.
He was wearing a yellow jacket like yours.
Mom told me to wear it when we evacuated.
It's my last memory of her.
I came to see you, Ms. Tokashiki because
of an anonymous phone call.
Come in.
Thank you.
So...
I was informed that you are working as a Cashier.
It's only temporary.
At Sakurai Supermarket.
I checked your timecard.
You've been working full-time for 4 months.
You get 128,000 yen a month.
You know what ?
Cacao helps you relax.
If you don't mind...
Let me remind you, Ms. Tokashiki.
If your income exceeds your welfare allowance
you'll have to return it.
Wait a minute..
If you don't say anything, no one will know.
You're on benefits because you're too Sick to work...
That's not fair!
How about my kid, with her depressed welfare mom ?
She needs to study!
I need money for school lunches and school trips...
I can pay for that because of your benefits.
But
kids at school found out that I'm on welfare.
So my daughter
got bullied.
That's why I wanted her to
go to cram school instead...
If I'm on welfare
do I have to give up those options?
It's not my car.
- A friend parks it here.
- Can I see the registration?
It was a gift.
You could get good money for it.
This car's a luxury not a necessity.
You bitch!
Stop that!
Who, are you?
A police officer.
Tricky bitch...
Your hand seems OK.
If you're able to work
you should.
Look for a job
so that you can be financially independent.
Or return the payments for your invalid claim.
Let me tell you
the money you defrauded from us
should go to the needy!
That's enough for today.
Why did you stop me?
I wasn't finished.
You only confronted him because we were there.
Yes. I used you.
Hey...
After the disaster
many disadvantaged people moved to Sendai city.
We can't ignore frauds
when people are desperate.
The earthquake...
changed everything.
I know it did.
No, you don't,
sergeant!
A welfare officer named
Tadakatsu Mikumo was found dead.
This is it!
Yes, all those police cars.
They were investigating.
- You'll be arrested!
- Why me?
I think you did it.
Not me.
How about you?
“The neighbors noticed a stench and called the police.”
“The responding officers found me”
“Mikumo in the apartment, tied in duct tape.”
"The police speculate that he was abducted"
Over there.
I'd say he died a week ago.
No neck trauma...
It resembles the Mikumo case.
It's too early to know.
Call the hospital to prepare for an autopsy.
Yes, Sir.
The victim is Takeru Jonouchi,
the Social Welfare Vice Chair.
He wasnt involved in any scandals
and he was known as a man of Integrity.
Any footprints ?
We found prints near the crime scene.
They had no tread pattern, like slippers.
Similar ones were at the Mikumo crime scene.
The first body was in Wakaba but this was in Rifu town.
They're 30 km apart so look for links.
The victims had worked together
as welfare officers In the same office.
as welfare officers in the same office.
We're assuming it was a grudge killing.
Yes, Sir.
When did Mikumo and Jonouchi work here?
Jonouchi was the Director from 2014 to 2017
Mikumo worked here from 2014 to 2017
Follow me.
Mikumo dealt with applicants ?
Yes, he was also a caseworker.
How many cases were rejected while they were here?
I'll have to go through the old files...
They're digitally archived?
The applications are handwritten.
Good. Show me every one of them.
We'll need a written request.
We have our procedures
I see. Can I use your phone?
Who are you calling?
The prefectural police.
Just call
the Chief of Prefectural Police!
Officials hate officials with more power.
We're the same.
l didn't plan to be
a small-town cop.
Too bad you failed
the Tokyo Metropolitan Police exam!
Competition was tough.
Prove your worth then!
Give me a hand, boys!
Yes, Sir.
Look for applicants who might be resentful.
Processed
I don't know why my application was rejected.
My only guess is that
they never intended to give me benefits all along.
I see
What was-the name of the officer ?
The one named Mikumo.
I can't tell if he was good or bad.
He's slippery and kind of detached.
He's good at pretending to listen.
And you were rejected?
Yes
That's why I'm here.
Mrs. Sasaki
you have to come to the office with me.
You need to fill out the application yourself.
I don't know. I wouldn't want to be a bother to anyone.
That's wrong!
Your generation is always afraid of being a nuisance
but you're not.
You're entitled to
minimum living standards under the constitution.
And the government is here to support that.
And the government Is here to support that.
You can ask for help.
You have to ask for help.
Mrs. Sasaki.
I'll come with you.
OK?
They said he was good!
A man of integrity, he’s not!
The welfare system is corrupt!
You've gone too far.
It has to be a voluntary act...
You can't force her.
Mrs. Sasaki really needs welfare benefits.
Start from the beginning.
Do you think our work's worthwhile?
It is.
Of course.
Shelter rules
Are you OK?
My uncle...
went to Fukushima.
Fukushima ?
His daughter...
my cousin... she's missing.
He told me to wait here for him.
You are all by yourself?
Yes.
Here.
You can eat that.
You can talk to me any time.
Let's go to Kei's place.
Come on!
Hurry!
Kei!
Welcome home!
Thank you!
I'm home.
Say "I'm home"
What?
Say "I’m home"
I'm home.
Welcome home!
What's your name?
Yasuhisa Tone.
Tone.
That's the first time I've seen you smile!
You definitely look better when you smile.
I know I'm not supposed to come home yet but
I can't fit into those groups at the shelter.
I can relax better at home.
It's dangerous with the tremors...
I used to be busy but
Toshima Barber
not anymore.
not anymore.
Go ahead.
Come and eat!
Thank you for the meal.
What work do you do, Tone?
Seafood processing.
That means..
Yes, it was wiped out. And my apartment...
Just like my house...
How about your friends?
I don't have any.
Smile.
If you smile
everyone will be nice to you.
I'll go back.
Just stay tonight.
It's late.
There're no futons.
Kan-chan can sleep in my futon
and you take my husband's old one.
Just tonight, Yasuhisa. Just tonight.
Kei, can I come here again tomorrow ?
Sleep.
It's bedtime.
I always used to stay up...
I stayed awake, to wait for mom to come home.
When she came home
I could smell her perfume.
So I knew right away.
But when she hugged me
she smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.
So I told her to go away.
I shouldn't have.
Because she'll never come home now.
I don't know who to be angry with.
Can I tell you about me?
I was out doing my weekly shopping as usual
when it came up to me...
It was so close.
The tsunami, I mean.
Then out of nowhere, I got a burst of energy.
I have trouble with my knees
but I put all my effort into climbing the hill.
My life is hardly ideal but I survived.
To be alone here.
Why did I survive?
But then it occurred to me now.
It was good...!
I'm glad I'm alive.
So that I can
hug you like this!
Give me a break.
Who wants to listen to that!
Tone?
What's up?
Is it OK..
that I lived ?
Of course it is!
Smile.
Try to smile.
Tone.
Hamakaze Bed and Breakfast
Are you
looking for something?
Uh...
There was a girl named Kan-chan...
I think she lived here. Is she around ?
And you are... ?
We used to know each other.
How?
We were in the same shelter after the earthquake.
I see...
You must have had a hard time, too.
Kan-chan..
Was she happy here?
I like to think so
Just wait a minute...
Hello?
Someone is here, looking for her.
Just now.
They were in the same shelter.
A man. He appears to be about 30...
Do I have to?
Yes! To make a good impression!
Utsunomiya Ironworks
It's in Tochigi. It's so far away.
That's what it takes to get a job these days.
I'll be right back.
Work is a priority.
e have to make a living.
See you later!
See you.
See you later!
I'm writing about the 10th anniversary
of the devastating tsunami.
I'm looking for a girl named Kan-chan
who lived in a shelter.
It's a follow-up on her life.
Yes.
I'll get her permission.
Rifu Orphanage
Wakaba Ward
There were upset applicants!
There were cases.
You hid them.
Sorry... Can I have a word?
Misleading officers is a crime...
It was the Director.
Kozuka... and Kubota.
Kozuka, the man with the knife, died.
Kubota moved away.
Who is this?
Kei Toshima was... an old woman.
She
knew this arsonist.
The arsonist's name isn't here.
Do you know his name?
Yasuhisa Tone.
In the Wakaba area
a suspected serial killer is at large.
He was on Wakaba Street in a black coat with a hood.
A clerk we'd talked to called us.
Got it.
Officer Hasuda
uproored hidden evidence.
Yasuhisa Tone is our prime suspect!
Find him!
Yes, sir!
Stop!
Tone!
Freeze!
Stop!
Damn...!
See you tomorrow.
I was looking for you.
Why...?
I thought you had 2 more years...
I got good behavior.
You know
I‘ve made a new life for myself.
Why do you work in welfare?
Is that your way to...
I want to save them.
You might think it’s too late but
it's not.
It's pointless.
They cant be saved.
That's where youre wrong.
Yasuthisa!
I knew it was you! Where have you been?
What ?
The high school uniform...
You look
like a girl.
You're sexualizing me.
No, I'm not sexualizing you.
Welcome home, Yasuhisa.
Yes, I'm home.
Kei!
Kei.
Kei?
Welcome home.
Don't get up.
You bought so many groceries!
For the neighbors?
No one lives here. I know that.
Education
Helping needy children
Bank passbook
Here, Tone. Eat this.
You eat it.
Never mind me’1
I'm not hungry.
You must be!
Do you get a pension?
I couldn't afford the payments.
How's island life, Kan-chan?
Worry about yourself!
People worry about others, not themselves.
You haven't been eating.
It's OK.
It is not!
There is social welfare.
Apply for it.
No matter how difficult life gets
I don't want to depend on the government.
Stop that!
You'll starve!
This is not
a stranger's business.
That's ridiculous.
Who's a stranger?
Don't be stupid!
Kan-chan and I..
We don't want you to die! You have to live!
We see you as our real mother.
Don't you know that ?
Okay.
I'll do it.
The utilities were shut off...
I see
Let me check if an Interview room is available.
Sorry but
your circumstances don't meet with our criteria.
You want a job in the food trade
but you need to be open to other jobs.
Youre 39 and healthy!
You'll get work.
What's your relationship with the applicant ?
We're just friends.
Can't you support her ?
Community is the best way to reduce poverty.
Neighbors can provide a lot more than we can.
Ma'am.
There is disaster assistance.
You can apply for it if your house is damaged.
My house is OK Good.
A room is available.
Are you related to her?
No.
Where's the application?
The applicant has to ask for it.
Kei, ask for it.
Kei.
Social welfare...
I want to apply for it.
OK, let's give it a try.
OK, Kamisaki?
Can you come to the interview room please?
Process this.
Thank you.
I've always taken care of myself.
You've done a great job of that, Kei.
Think of this as your reward.
OK?
"I took Kei Toshima to the Social Welfare office
to help with her welfare application."
"It was approved but it caused me to commit a crime.
Who interviewed her ?
Takehiro Kamisaki.
Kamisaki..
The congressman
Yes, he's popular for his liberal views.
Tone grew up here.
From what age?
Since his birth.
He was found in a public toilet
with his umbilical cord attached.
Somehow he got wind of that information.
It traumatized him and
as aresult, he hears sounds in his head.
The noise of gushing water.
You mean the young man?
After the earthquake, I was so preoccupied
I was preoccupied
There was him, a little girl and an old lady.
There was him, a little girl
and an old lady.
It was an unusual combination.
They'd be in a corner of the room...
They seeme'd to have a closer bond than the other evacuees.
They were at the shelter ?
They called the girl Kan-chan.
Sometimes I still think about them.
The three of them, together like areal family.
See?
The posters are up!
Guys, meet Kamisaki.
Hello!
Thank you, everyone.
You like my office? Sure do.
And the location...
Kei's dead.
Kei Toshima
died!
Of starvation!
So I heard. I'm terribly sorry.
What did you do to her?
She qualified for assistance!
She cancelled it herself.
- She wouldn't do that.
- But she did!
She did it herself.
Bullshit!
Kei wouldn't do such a thing!
Our policy is to respect the applicant's will.
We simply adhered, to it.
Let me go, please.
Director..
In 2013
the social welfare act was
revised and enacted in 2014.
Since then the application
process became tougher.
Only 1% of Japanese people are on welfare.
US and Europe where it's 5 to 10%.
The United Nations advised our government
to provide more social welfare.
That's the country we live in.
But I'm wasting my words on you.
The people who died in the disaster were victims
and you made your choices.
Think about the reasons behind it
and stop blaming others.
We all want to die with dignity.
Surrounded by loved ones.
These days, that's a luxury.
We all die alone.
Poverty Behind Family Tragedy?
Attempted Murder-Suicide
Are you related.
I'm Ms. Tokashiki's welfare officer.
They’re OK.
But you cant
see her or her daughter yet.
I was waiting for you
so I could ask you some questions.
I heard you lost your mother In the tsunami.
Who told you that?
You, were at the orphanage and
you were adopted.
was just one of many.
But you, Ms. Maruyama
turned your bad luck around
and help the destitute.
I can't help them all.
Like Ms. Tokashiki.
I heard you met two persons in the shelter.
Kei Toshima
and
Yasuhisa Tone.
Is that right ?
Mikiko Maruyama.
You were called Kan because Mikiko
also reads Kan.
Not anymore.
Do you know where I can find Tone?
No. Wo haven't been in touch.
What went on with you three in the shelter ?
Am I wrong when I say Tone
wanted revenge for Kei Toshima?
Yasuhisa is...
Tone is..
He can't express his emotions but
deep down he's kind.
That's the Yasuhisa Tone I know.
How can you stay so strong?
Well...
I just wondered.
You have to ask for help.
If you do
someone will respond.
There's still hope.
Someone
will reach out to you.
Oh my God, It’s over...
It's too late!
Can we proceed?
Congressman, it's time.
There's quite a turnout. Are you nervous?
Social welfare in this country
is a serious problem.
It's not just politics,
it's about worsening poverty.
Poverty must be tackled by every one of us.
A life of poverty means
not knowing when you'll eat or where you'll sleep.
You lose hope living like that.
It's a lifestyle that wears you down.
I've seen many people's lives being ruined by it.
Unfortunately
it could happen to any of us
Will Tone come?
Be quiet.
Kamisaki had protection since yesterday.
Maybe there's a risk of him being abducted.
But not here.
Abduction isn't the only threat.
It's time
to take a stance and say, “No more poverty!”
Hey!
Kamisaki.
Listen to me.
- Kamisaki!
- Halt!
Yasuhisa Tone!
Drive!
Kamisaki!
- Kamisaki! - Shut up.
Arrest him!
For interference at 3:41 pm.
We've got you.
Tone confessed so isn't the case closed ?
Sergeant!
What did you do
after Mikumo's body was found?
I knew the police were moving in.
So I hid in internet cafes until I got Jonouchi.
When does Kamisaki leave Sendai ?
Bring him to me now.
If not
disclose what he did.
And make him publicly apologize.
Do you know this man?
"Yasuhisa Tone was arrested for”
attempted assault.
The 31-year-old works at a local plant.”
They arrested the killer.
“Tone is a suspect in the death”
"who was found on May 17 and” *
"Takeru Jonouch! who was found dead"
"on May 26.”
“Tone is still being questioned"
He's hiding something.
Slow down. We're yet to confirm what he told us.
Let me try as a cross-jurisdictional investigator.
No. That'd violate police regulations.
The police system is so rigid!
Wait!
Where are you going?
To find something to make him talk.
His public appearance tomorrow is a worry.
But the elections are soon.
I've known him since high school!
so I let him use this space.
He's a good friend.
Ill be downstairs.
Tone wants you to make a public apology.
About Kei Toshima?
Why did she back out?
Sit down.
Maybe the stigma of being on welfare bothered her.
It's hard to believe that was an issue.
She was very close to people
she met at the shelter.
They gave her the will to live.
Kei Toshima
had a daughter.
In our background check
We learned that before she married
a barber,she had a baby.
Her first husband was violent so she left him.
When she remarried she had to adopt out her child.
I suggested that her daughter might care for her.
My daughter
wouldn't know who I am.
She thinks her adoptive parents are her parents.
Just for money...
I wouldn't want her
to know my situation.
Calm down.
If you don't want to contact her...
Mrs. Toshima.
If you don't need the benefits
you can cancel it.
"Kei Toshima’
“hereby cancel..."
But you knew her situation.
you knew she'd have a hard time without welfare.
I knew but at that time
I couldn't think straight.
Why not ?
Because...
we were all exhausted...
Mikumo used to say
after the earthquake
that we couldn't save everyone.
I lost my family in the earthquake so
I understood his position.
With the evacuees and the piles of extra work...
The government merit pressured us
to make cutbacks
and there were cases of welfare fraud.
That's when Mikumo made a specific decision
to stick to the rules.
That way
we could save more people In the long run.
That's what he believed.
You put Jonouchi
In a deserted chicken farm to conceal the stench.
Again, you were careful
not to leave identifiable footprints.
Now I'll verify your account.
Why did you kill that order?
It's over!
- What a long class!
- Time for home.
Bye, kids!
Excuse me, ma'am!
My mother...
My adoptive parents told me
that she died when I was little.
I see.
Is there a problem?
No. I guess we misunderstood
some information.
Sorry to take up your time.
Sergeant... ?
Please...
Yes...?
The kids you teach from now...
I hope they're brave
and kind children.
Please bring them up
so they'll be like that.
ENGLISH CAMP
Let me talk to Tone.
I need to talk to him!
Inspector!
Please let him.
I'm Tomashino.
This is Hasuda.
I told the other guy everything.
Do you know why Kei Toshima
withdrew her application?
Because...
that's what they wanted from the beginning.
That's not all.
She had a daughter.
That's one reason why.
She blamed herself for giving her up.
If she reached out
her daughter's life would be turned upside down.
In the end Kei never met her daughter.
But she had the two of you instead.
The time she spent with you and Kan-chan
was like making a new family.
You gave her a moment of happiness.
If that's true
she could've lived for us.
She chose to die instead.
The assholes knew...
but they let her Starve herself to death!
They could've looked after her.
Is that you, Miyahara?
Kamisaki is missing?
It might be related to yesterday's incident.
The higher-ups are concerned...
You wanted someone to see Kamisaki apologize.
You hoped to change that person's mind.
Kamisaki is missing.
Sit down!
I have to go!
Did you take the rap for someone else?
Where is he?
Let's go!
You'll be suspended for doing this.
Keep me out of this.
Hazardous, Keep Out
It's so rundown...
Anyone there?
It's the police!
Stay away!
Or else
I'll kill Kamisaki.
Kan-chan!
It's me.
It's Yasuhisa.
Kan-chan.
Say something.
I'll finish..
what I started.
Don't do it, Kan-chan.
It's OK, Yasuhisa!
I'll take responsibility for what I've done!
Contact HQ and ask for backup.
OK.
Hey.
I can get her to talk.
OK.
Kan-chan.
Let's stop.
It's too late.
It never is.
Come to me.
Earthquakes and tsunamis...
are monsters.
We have no chance against them.
They break in,
destroy everything
and take many lives,
And Mom.
I didn't know who to hate.
But that's not why Kei died.
That was caused by people!
We're all responsible for her death!
I know how you feel, Kan-chan.
But we should stop.
Don't kill Kamisaki.
Please.
Come to me.
Kan-chan.
Kan-chan.
Kan-chan.
Don't.
Please don't.
Kan-chan.
Kan-chan.
Oh my God, it’s over...
It's too late...
You are wrong!
Oh my God, it's over...
It's too late!
Listen, Maruyama.
His family died in the tsunami
so he wants to make changes.
Kan-chan.
After Kei passed away
did you ever come here?
You see the sliding door ?
On the door
she wrote a message to you.
She must have used her last
bit of energy to write it.
Kan-chan.
Call an ambulance.
Welcome home.
Welcome home.
Kan-chan.
Are you clear ?
Turn around.
Inspector!
This way.
We'll put you in the ambulance.
Ready, 1,2 and 3.
Sergeant Tomashino.
Maruyama posted this
before she abducted Kamisaki.
I'm Mikiko Maruyama.
I work for Wakaba's Welfare Service.
I have decided to quit for personal reasons.
I'd like to share my thoughts with the other officers.
I know you are devoted and responsible.
Except for an unethical 1
But own job requires more than devotion.
Because social welfare is
the last and only safety net.
You have to do more!
You have to reinterpret our instructions sometimes
If you want to save lives.
If you blame applicants for their troubles
you must accept the consequences.
Me too.
I will be accountable for the things I do now.
One more thing.
Those who need saving...
Please ask for help.
When you stfut yourself off
you feel so alone in the world.
But that’s wrong.
The world is bigger than you think.
here is always someone who cares for you.
I know because
I was saved by those people.
You aren't alone even if you think you are.
Try again.
Pluck up the courage to ask for help.
Be louder than the unethical officers.
You have nothing to be ashamed of.
What she did is not excusable by any means
but she presented some questions
that I need to think about.
Her actions cast a light
On a mistake I made.
Accept my apology.
Mr. Kamisaki.
What's your relation to the case?
No one can stop me.
Everyone deserves
to live.
Just 5 minutes.
He violated his parole.
Come with me.
Over there.
My wife's body was found.
My son
is still missing.
I failed to save them.
But you
tried to save Kan-chan.
No.
I didn't.
I failed.
On that day
a boy was drowning before my eyes.
I wanted to help but...
I was afraid of the water.
I just watched.
I watched him sink, in his yellow jacket...
I couldn't dive in.
I left him to die..
So when I saw Kan-@han in the yellow jacket
I vowed to protect her.
I vowed never to leave her.
Thank you.
You tried to save everyone.
And for telling me...
Thank you.
Good Morning, My son.
