Naturally, children go through a rebellious phase.
I know it's not something that only happens to us.
Even so I wonder.. where did our amenable Ayaka go?
I do.
When she loses her temper and acts violently, it feels she's not even my daughter.
It's like she's just like a beast then.
Talking like that about my own daughter..
Maybe I'm the one who's crazy...
It was the same, that day too.
That day.
I'll tell you about the day
when the incident happened.
No!!!!
The victim Takahashi Hiroyuki has just passed away.
So it has just turned into a murder case.
By someone he knew.
Probably a very close friend.
Takahashi Shinji. His whereabouts are still unknown.
It's all my fault.
Find her!
What has happened?
ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT JANUARY 22, 2013
You know, Ayaka-chan went berserk again yesterday. ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT JANUARY 22, 2013
You know, Ayaka-chan went berserk again yesterday.
She was screaming all around "Shut up, you old hag!"
15 HOURS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT She was screaming all around "Shut up, you old hag!"
15 HOURS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT
She said such things? 15 HOURS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT
She said such things?
You couldn't hear it? It could even be heard on the second floor. Right Shinji?
Ah, yes. You couldn't hear it? It could even be heard on the second floor. Right Shinji?
Ah, yes.
She's on edge because she'll soon have her exams.
But to be so noisy this often.. She's on edge because she'll soon have her exams.
But to be so noisy this often..
Don't talk like that.
Hey, Mama. Don't talk like that.
Hey, Mama.
Please tell Ayaka-chan's mother that she is so noisy it's almost unbearable.
Right? Shinji.
Thank you for the food. Right? Shinji.
You haven't had an appetite recently, have you?
No, I'm fine.
What if you went to a check-up at Dad's hospital?
Yeah. You could come today after you're done with school.
There's a match after school today.
The "send-off" match.
The last match of junior high school?
Do your best!
I will. Do your best!
I will.
I want to keep on playing basketball in high school too.
I have to do my best in many things.
Right.
Shinji! What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll make whatever you like. Right.
Shinji! What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll make whatever you like.
Anything's fine. Make what you think is best.
He's doing his best and studying until late, isn't he?
He has his internal entrance exam tomorrow.
Get off his back with that. He can get into that high school.
Don't put too much pressure on him.
Thanks for the food.
Ah, hey?
Yes?
Do you know where my sports bag is?
Can't find it? Why don't you ask Mama?
I asked her but..
Ah, today, I'll be staying at Ayumi's house. After you get home, you'll study right away, right?
Ah, I'm sorry for always being a pain making you stay elsewhere.
If I don't get in, then they'll say it's your fault again.
No one's saying it's my fault.
Daddy said so too. You have to be more relaxed about it.
You're right.
You'll be fine. You're right.
You'll be fine.
Our internal entrance exam isn't that difficult anyway.
You'd only fail it if you did really bad.
Right.
Maa-kun, when will you come home back to Hibarigaoka?
You say "I'll come home, I'll return home" but you haven't moved an inch.
Despite the fact that I've been remodeling the house just for your sake!
I want you to be my side.
She's frightening.. Endou-san's daughter..
I don't know if she's going through a rebellious phase or not but she just keeps screaming all the time.
What?
I have no idea what time it is there!
Time difference.. time difference.. is it more important to you than me?
Maa-kun! Hello! Hello!
Did you withdraw money from the bank?
Ah.. the homeowner's association fee.
Why is it so insanely expensive in this city?
Well, it isn't something we knew about before actually living here.
She really doesn't think about anything.
The Takagi Shunsuke poster that's put up in my room..
she won it on a net auction for 10,000 yen!
10,000 yen! Is she an idiot?
But you told me to win it no matter what.
Yeah, but 5,000 should be the maximum, right!? But you told me to win it no matter what.
Yeah, but 5,000 should be the maximum, right!?
Even though you didn't know the market price, you just kept raising the bid.
Stop it! Not in the morning..
Then next time you should do the bidding..
You do it! I have school to go to.
Your problem's that you're too competitive and vain about weird things.
Understand that because of it, I'm the one who suffers.
Are you stupid?
Yakou Kanransha - Ferris Wheel at Night
Third Episode Yakou Kanransha - Ferris Wheel at Night
Are you gonna be late tonight also?
Can't help it.
Employees are being let go left and right.
And the jobs are...
So we just have to be thankful I still have a job.
But talk to Ayaka, once in a while.
I leave that to you.
The rebellious phase will be over soon.
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day! Take care!
Shinji, I'm gonna go ahead.
Why not walk? It's close. Shinji, I'm gonna go ahead.
Why not walk? It's close.
But I wanna go with Daddy~ Why not walk? It's close.
But I wanna go with Daddy~
You're so spoiled!
Morning.
Disgusting.
Let's go, Hinako!
Okay~
Good day, Shinji-kun.
Ah, good morning.
This is trash from your house, right?
Today's Tuesday, only burnable trash today!
It seems your mother's mixed up the days..
DAY OF THE INCIDENT
I've brought the neighborhood newsletter.
Thank you.
It's our handicraft gathering.
We're doing it with people who've lived in Hibarigaoka for a long time.
Actually, we've just talked about your house.
Your daughter's awfully picky about what she eats, doesn't she?
Ah, yeah.. she doesn't eat any vegetables..
You don't say.. Ah, yeah.. she doesn't eat any vegetables..
You don't say..
If your nutrition isn't well-balanced, you get irritable.
Vitamin C's supposed to be good against being irritable.. Mustard spinach or Spinach..
Ah, but, they must eat vegetables, right?
Children grow up so fast.. You must make her proper food.
You're right. I've got to come up with something she'll eat.
You know we clean up the garbage collection point every day, right?
We can tell immediately if a household often eats instant food and food from the supermarket.
Don't tell me..
You work somewhere outside Hibarigaoka, right?
A part-job maybe.. you seem to go out every day.
No, I just have errands to run.
As you're living in Hibarigaoka, you should pay more attention to your household duties.
You wouldn't want to be desperate like the people who live at the bottom of the hill?
Of course, not. I agree with you.
Excuse me.
If you have anything to discuss, come talk to me any time.
Junko-san?
Ah. Morning.
Morning.
I've been told again..
By Kojima-san again?
About Ayaka.. and some things.
Don't worry about it.
Kojima-san's son is a full-fledged adult.
She's long forgotten what it's like during junior high school.
Having a kid in junior high school student's difficult.
And from spring, they become high school students.
If you've got children, time flies.
True.
Flies by fast.
What's happened?
I've cut myself.
Are you okay?
Especially as it's your right hand.
I'm fine. It's just exaggerated.
No one really cares if I'm hurt or about what I'm doing.
Only Junko-san says such things.
It's no fun to be a mom, huh.
It doesn't matter how much you do for your children,
they just take you for granted.
It's the same with Shinji-kun too?
Then..
Then I guess it can't be helped for Ayaka either..
About Shinji..
What's wrong?
Hey.. we should eat together again, okay?
Ramen?
And I want to talk to you about many things.
Me too.
DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Which, which. Okay. DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Show me!
Normal temperature. What's wrong?
I feel like.. I'm gonna barf.
Endou-san, you've been coming to the infirmary a lot lately, haven't you?
Before.. you never used to come here immediately after coming to school..
Look at Shunsuke! He looks a lot like Shinj-kuni!!
But in that poster, he looked more like him. Look at Shunsuke! He looks a lot like Shinj-kuni!!
But in that poster, he looked more like him.
Really looked like him, he really did! But in that poster, he looked more like him.
Really looked like him, he really did!
Someone stupid kept raising the bid and it ended up being 10,000 yen!
I so wanted it~
Well, maybe you should've just asked Ayaka's mom then, huh.
She'll do anything for Ayaka, right?
It's true. If you tell her to do something, she'll do whatever. So stupid.
Shunsuke's so cool here!
Shunsuke-kun, okay? Shunsuke's so cool here!
Shunsuke-kun, okay?
Sorry.
I was the first one to fall for Shunsuke,
don't you fall for him, okay?
By the way, why are you preparing to go home?
Not feeling well..
Again? Not feeling well..
Again?
But you said you'd come with us today. Shinji-kun has his send-off match today.
Shiho will give a towel to Shinji-kun.
When the match ends, call Shinji-kun over.
Me?
You'll do it, right?
Because we're friends.
I will.
Sorry for always asking for your help.
No problem.
DAY OF THE INCIDENT
My husband always tells me not to talk to other engineering firms. DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Because Endou-san's company takes care of things so carefully. DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Because Endou-san's company takes care of things so carefully.
If it's about housework, I'm happy to help with anything.
I'm happy to do any job, it helps a lot.
About the payment.. how do you usually do it? By transfer?
I get it from your husband.
What?
It's fine. It's taken care of. What?
It's fine. It's taken care of.
Really?
Your husband always helps me. Really?
Your husband always helps me.
I'm really thankful we've moved to this town.
I'd never have met a man like your husband at another town.
Ah, please have some lunch.
I'm so happy~
Although I didn't specifically come here to eat your lunch.
It's something simple, though.
Junko-san's really good at cooking. Your husband must be happy!
Why isn't Shinji-kun here??
DAY OF THE INCIDENT Why isn't Shinji-kun here??
DAY OF THE INCIDENT
It's the last match, why isn't he here? DAY OF THE INCIDENT
It's the last match, why isn't he here?
Maybe he caught a cold or something?
Doesn't Ayaka know?
So lucky~ I want to live in Hibarigaoka too. Doesn't Ayaka know?
So lucky~ I want to live in Hibarigaoka too.
Even in that small house.
You know, if his house were opposite,
then I'd see him in the morning and say "Morning~".
I wonder if he's gonna continue basketball in high school too~
He will.. as he's only good at that. I wonder if he's gonna continue basketball in high school too~
He will.. as he's only good at that.
I'll count on you in high school too, Ayaka.
Eh?
What?
What do you mean? You said you'd help me with Shinji-kun, right?
She said she would but she hasn't been useful at all.
You're not going off to private school just by yourself, right?
You're coming to public school with us, right?
We'll be together for another three years~
Yep.
There's no point in taking the exam to the private one. Yep.
There's no point in taking the exam to the private one.
I'm sure you'll fail.
Anyway, just ask Shinji-kun why he wasn't here.
Text me what he said later.
Got it.
I'll ask him!
Come, we've got limited supplies~
Why are you quitting this part-time job all of a sudden?
I'm pregnant.
At last?
Congratulations! You've really wanted it. At last?
Congratulations! You've really wanted it.
Thank you! I'm really happy!
Which? A boy or a girl?
I don't know yet.
Having daughters is great. They always love their mothers.
Endou-san's also got a daughter, right?
Yes.
But she's been acting really insolent.
But that's cute! A girl having a rebellious stage. But she's been acting really insolent.
But that's cute! A girl having a rebellious stage.
She doesn't act out and cuts holes in the wall and stuff like a boy, right?
Ah, yeah, there was a boy like that in my son's school.
When he got mad, seems like he went out of control and always bruised his mother's face.
It was awful.
But that's the parents' fault.
They spoil the children while raising them so they get rotten.
Once it's completed, the three of us will ride it together, right Mom?
I look forward to it!
Only if you make me!
I look forward to it.
This wallpaper is so cute!
Which one do you like Mom?
Hey, it's a good thing we chose cream coloured wallpapers, because if it were white our eyes would get tired. Which one do you like Mom?
Hey, it's a good thing we chose cream coloured wallpapers, because if it were white our eyes would get tired.
That room's really cute!!
I wanted to have my own room! So happy!!
Keep it clean, use it nicely.
I'll definitely do that, will keep it in order. Keep it clean, use it nicely.

Ah.
Oh, that girl. From the house across?
Yep.
She doesn't look like it.
What's up?
You're following me cause you want something, right?
Why didn't you come to the send-off match today?
Why weren't you there?
You went to see the match.. how was it?
The basketball club of Seishuu's not really a big deal, is it. I thought it was a strong team but
it's not like that when you aren't there.
Were you not feeling well?
No..
Then, what?
This morning.. did something happen when you left home?
Do I have to tell you?
I don't really give a damn if you play or not.
But my friends are your fans so..
Ah, it's that girl, right? The one called Shiho.
Really persistent.
What do you mean persistent?
Well, isn't she?
You're so arrogant.
She said you look a bit like Takagi Shunsuke.. Aren't you too full of yourself??
I'm often told that.. but I don't look like him at all..
You think you're cooler and smarter than him, don't you? I'm often told that.. but I don't look like him at all..
You think you're cooler and smarter than him, don't you?
Making accusations, huh.
Would you stop looking down at people like that?
I'm not doing that.
What the hell's so special about going to Seishuu?
Are you that excellent? Just because your dad's a doctor, you think it's ok make fun of other people?
I don't have time to listen to your accusations now.
Just apologize already!
It really sucks that you live in the house across.
What? It really sucks that you live in the house across.
What?
Because of you, it really sucks for me!
But you built a house there after us! Because of you, it really sucks for me!
But you built a house there after us!
If it sucks so much..
Why don't you move somewhere else?
Why do you have to treat me like crap?
It sucks for me, not you!
Welcome home.
I made your favourite for dinner. Gratin.
I'm sorry I've been too busy to make you proper food recently.
Ayaka..
Hey, Ayaka.
If it sucks so much.. Why don't you move somewhere else?
In "The School of Athens", which person's pointing with his finger upwards?
Delicious?
DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Ah, look. Shunsuke's on TV! DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Ah, look. Shunsuke's on TV!
The answer's correct!
So Shunsuke-kun's going to Keiou High School...
It's not after the war.
Ah, amazing! Not surprisingly, Shunsuke's really smart, huh.
Right?
He's got better at acting too, recently.
He can remember his lines more easily.
He's good at singing and conversing.
Smart kids can immediately remember, huh.
Shut up! Smart kids can immediately remember, huh.
So you're saying I'm stupid!?
I can't take it anymore!
Ayaka, stop!
If I've done something..
I'm so sorry!
No!!
Shut up!!!
Er, it's OK if you don't want to study.
You can go to whichever high school you want to.
I'm not taking any high school exams! You can go to whichever high school you want to.
I'm not taking any high school exams!
Shut up!!
I told you not to come in!
The special for two people. I told you not to come in!
The special for two people.
Thank you.
Mind your own business! Bitch! Thank you.
Mind your own business! Bitch!
Not again..
It's all your fault! Not again..
It's all your fault!
I don't want to be told by someone who understands nothing!
Shut up! Old hag!
Shut up, shut up!
I was just praising Shunsuke-kun.. Shut up, shut up!
I was just praising Shunsuke-kun..
Wasn't talking about Ayaka..
Don't think I'm stupid!
Please, stop it!
Isn't it enough?
I told you not to treat me like a fool!
Calm down, please.
I'll get you tickets to the next Shunsuke-kun's concert.
Shut up!
Stop it!
Stop it..
Stop it...
Please excuse me for coming so late.
My husband bought this chocolate in England.
I can't eat it all by myself, would you accept it, please?
Er.. I'm terribly sorry..
..for being so noisy.
There was a..
..a cockroach in my daughter's room so..
It must be difficult.. cockroaches appear almost every day..
What about looking for an exterminator?
It's making me uneasy too.
Is your daughter doing okay?
Yes.
She's fine.
My husband's saying that..
maybe we should soundproof our windows.
Your husband's job is related to housing, right?
Could you ask him, maybe?
I..
I'm really sorry.
Well then, please excuse me.
Stop it!
Ayaka.
Don't come in without asking.
What are you doing?
Shh.
Where is that sound coming from?
From across.
Isn't that Shinji?
What?
Stop it!!
Is that voice Junko-san's? Is she okay?
How about you leave them alone?
Maybe I should go over and stop it?
What?
You want to stop someone else's fight?
You'll just get laughed at.
I'm sure Sparkly bitch's going there~
Not Sparkly bitch, Kojima-san.
That sparkly's gift bag's really the worst.
Just before, she's come here to snoop on us, right?
Because if you don't dial it down a little,
it'll bother the neighbors.
Weren't you the one who made me angry?
Help! Weren't you the one who made me angry?
You should be careful! Help!
You should be careful!
Forgive me! You should be careful!
Forgive me!
You're right.
Just get out of here, fast.
Ayaka, go take a bath!
You don't like going after me, right?
Buy me some sanitary napkins.
Mine won't do?
Come on, those cheap ones? And I've told you it was gonna be out soon.
You go to the supermarket every day, why do you forget about it?
I'll go then.
The usual will be fine, right?
Bring some ice cream too.
DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Shinji-kun!
Ah, good evening.
Good evening.
A change of air?
Ah, yes.
I always come here to buy Ayaka's supper.
The exam's getting close, right?
Good for you, right? Having the junior high and high school in one institution~
Ah, please tell Ayaka-san I'm wishing her best with her studies.
Then, I'm gonna go.
Good evening.
Welcome!
One item for 148 yen.
One item for 126 yen. It's 384 yen in total.
Ah, I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
It seems I forgot to bring my wallet..
Oh then, shall we pay together?
I'll lend it to you. You can give it back tomorrow.
Ah, really? Thank you very much.
I don't have any small change.
Use this.
It often happens to me too.
Thank you.
I've received 10,000 yen.
I'll definitely give it back tomorrow morning.
It's cold so be careful not to catch a cold.
I will be.
Thank you very much. Please, come again.
Why has this..
Haemorrhage due to head injury, disturbance of consciousness, intracranial injury is possible.
No!!
Junko-san! No!!
We did everything we could but... No!!
We did everything we could but...
Daddy!
I'm Yuuki from the Sakatome Police Station.
It seems somebody struck him hard in the head from behind.
Have you seen Takahashi Shinji-kun this morning?
Isn't he together with his family?
He's missing.
Can I ask you a few things about last night?
DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 23, 2013
I.. DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 23, 2013
I might have seen who killed him.. DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 23, 2013
Mama?
Find her!
I'm terribly sorry for coming so early.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Ayaka, let's go. You're gonna be late.
But I'm eating.
Whatever. Hurry up. But I'm eating.
Whatever. Hurry up.
Thank you.
What's going on? The police's come~
So cool!
Hey, is this a murder case? Shinji's father was killed?
Quit it.
You said you'd seen the murderer.
What time was this?
It was after 11 pm I think.
Just before the ambulance arrived to Takahashi-san's house.
I saw someone running away.
Was it a man? Or was it a woman?
It was dark so..
I don't really know.
I'm sorry.. it's quite vague.
No, no.
You really help us by telling us any information. No matter how small it might seem.
Right?
Yes, please. Right?
Yes, please.
You met Takahashi Shinji-kun at the convenience store yesterday, didn't you?
What?
Both you and Shinji-kun were on the security camera. What did you talk about? What?
Both you and Shinji-kun were on the security camera. What did you talk about?
Er..
We just.. said hello..
and then..
I lent him some money.
Shinji-kun was in a bind because he'd forgotten to bring his wallet.
How much did you give him?
10,000 yen.
10,000 yen?
I didn't have any small bills.
I should've asked to exchange at the cashier..
Um..
I also thought about paying at the cashier together but..
but I was asked to buy some sanitary products by my daughter so..
How did Shinji-kun seem?
Did he seem different?
No.
He was as usual.
He's a really rare good boy.
When you meet him, he'll definitely greet you.
He seems to get along really well with his parents and his siblings.
Anything else? Did you notice anything else?
No.
Nothing in particular.
I see.
If you remember anything else, please contact us any time.
Is there something?
Ah, no, nothing.
Then, excuse us.
Ah, right.
I forgot to ask you.
Your husband, Keisuke-san..
He's borrowed money from Takahashi Hiroyuki-san, right?
Excuse me?
In September 2010, he borrowed 10 million yen, right?
10 million yen?
There must be a mistake!?
You never heard anything from your husband?
About this, he.. not a word..
Then, we'll ask him about it in person.
Hello? It's me.
I have something I wanna ask you.
It's about money.
Please call me back whenever you can.
Morning.
Right. You didn't tell the police about the fight at the Takahashis?
I didn't.
Well, it might be hard to say it, huh.
Because it's always Endou-san's house where the disturbance comes from.
Mrs. Takahashi was shouting things like "stop it!" or "help me!", wasn't she?
You should've told them, after all.
As it's a murder case..
My son and his wife said would hate this..
They might not come back to Hibarigaoka..
Hello.
Endou-san?
It's me.
Junko.
Er, Kojima-san, I really..
Endou-san. Er, Kojima-san, I really..
It's better not to hide anything from the police, it's better to tell them all.
It really.. couldn't be heard well from our house.
But wasn't your husband in the middle of that ruckus?
My husband?
I saw him, just before the ambulance came.
I saw him..
running out of Takahashi-san's house..
It definitely was your husband.
It often happens that a husband hides something big from his wife..
Wait a sec. I'll go somewhere we can talk at ease.
Endou-san, you have guests.
Police officers.
If your wife finds out, you tell her everything.
There are husbands who'd beg for forgiveness.
However, I can't confess it to her..
It's better to tell them such a thing, right?
This is important, right.
It's fine if you tell them.
I believe in my husband.
Junko-san, this secret..
I'll hide it from my wife until I die.
