You have noticed it?
There are no overhead power lines in this Hibarigaoka.
We who have lived here in this town for long collected money together and had those lines installed underground.
Since there are no power lines, the sky looks closer and higher, right?
We, the ones who have built this town,
we live here with the strong awareness to protect this beautiful town.
Although it seems that those who moved here recently do not have the same inclination.
The wound is located on the right side of the head.
Which means who struck him is right handed, you're saying.
Say, are you close with Mrs. Takahashi?
Do you have any idea where she might be going to?
That night, the one who was getting out of the Takahashi house was
Kojima-san!
Shinji!
TWO DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 24, 2013 Shinji!
TWO DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 24, 2013
Wait up! Shinji, wait up! TWO DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 24, 2013
Shinji!
Stop!
Why are you running away?
I can't go back.
I can't go home.
I...
I want to help you.
What should I do?
Shinji!
Yesterday I saw Junko-san leaving a coffee shop.
Right after I saw you leaving too.
I was meeting with a client.
That Junko-san was there, I totally didn't notice.
To: Takahashi Yoshiyuki Subject: Dear Onii-chan Message: Why aren't you contacting me?
The police are treating this as a murder case and investigation is proceeding.
On the day of the incident, all three of the Takahashi children were out.
3 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 25, 2013 On the day of the incident, all three of the Takahashi children were out.
Only Takahashi-san and his wife were in the house. It looks like there were only the two of them. 3 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 25, 2013
Only Takahashi-san and his wife were in the house. It looks like there were only the two of them.
It should be noted that contact with Mrs. Takahashi and the second son was lost immediately following the incident.
The police are asking for any information regarding the whereabouts of those two.
Meanwhile, the Takahashi house that is now a crime scene...
I have been waiting for you.
Been wondering when you would come.
We've heard from the neighbors that it's best to ask you Kojima-san about Hibarigaoka.
Right? You should have come here sooner.
I would have given you an important clue.
Oh, what could it be?
You already have a pretty solid guess on who the culprit is, right?
Why do you think so?
That night, I saw him.
Mr. Endou.
Around what time?
10:30 pm, I think.
He was getting out of the Takahashi house.
Where did you see that from?
From that slope.
So you were outside too, huh.
That late at night.
We still don't know where Takahashi Shinji is.
Contact with Mrs. Takahashi and the second son was lost immediately following the incident.
The police are asking for any information regarding the whereabouts of those two.
At the crime scene, the Takahashi house, there was no sign of struggle.
There were no valuables taken either.
The police are suspecting that the crime was committed by someone familiar to the victim...
That night, the one who was getting out of the Takahashi house was...
Kojima-san!
Fifth Episode Yakou Kanransha - Ferris Wheel at Night
I was worried about Mrs.Takahashi, so I paid them a visit.
I could hear screaming. I thought something not right must have been happening.
DAY OF THE INCIDENT
Mrs.Takahashi? DAY OF THE INCIDENT
It's Kojima. DAY OF THE INCIDENT
It's Kojima.
Are you alright?
However, no one answered the door.
But I couldn't let it go and watched it after.
I was wondering if I should call the police or what.
Then, I saw Mr. Endou.
Is there anyone who can corroborate what you saw?
What do you mean?
Are you saying I'm making this up?
No, no, just to confirm.
I told you I am sure!
I brought melon to the Takahashi house. This melon.
Melon?
If I'd gone empty-handed, it would've been like I was snooping around.
Isn't there anything else you'd like to ask?
If it's about this town, please ask anything.
That lady is a bit weird, huh?
What about her?
Well, you know, like she's controlling everything.
She's got nothing to do, right.
Is it true that she was bringing melon?
You ate that melon, didn't you?
Yes.
More importantly, about Endou Keisuke.
Something's going on between him and Takahashi Junko.
If we keep an eye on him, some connection with Junko should come up.
Are they having an affair, those two?
Who knows...
Endou-san! It's all over the news since this morning! Hibarigaoka...
Spare me that.
Next up is this.
Hey, Endou-san...
Yes?
You're pushing yourself with more shifts during Akiko-san's maternity leave, aren't you?
Yes.
but I wonder if I could ask you to keep working at this pace?
Didn't Akiko-san say she'd return to work immediately after giving birth?
Wouldn't that be impossible?
Why is that?
Something wrong with Akiko-san?
Can't ignore the fact that she's involved in a murder case, right.
There could be complaints from the customers.
What is Akiko-san going through right now, huh.
While her sister living in Hibarigaoka comfortably,
she had to work part-time and squeak by.
Well, with this happening, it's all gone in a poof, though.
The culprit is yet to be determined, you know.
Akiko-san has done nothing wrong, has she?
But she has nothing to do with it.
Yes, she does. She's family.
Uhm.. did I say something wrong?
Hello, this is Kojima.
Maa-kun?
You're worried about me and so giving me a call, right?
Right? You're really a kind kid.
Police officers came by earlier...
Huh?
You're really coming home?
Finally you're coming home, right?
Don't worry about it, the murder case.
You don't have to worry about a single thing.
They'll apprehend the culprit soon.
KYOTO
Oh... you're here?
Sorry, I have to go back to school after I take a shower.
This.
Why do you look at my cellphone as you please?
Hinako is my sister. You know that, right?
murderer
..thinks that papa's murderer is..
Shinji
What is this?
What murder case?
Why did an email like that come from your sister?
She can't be joking, right?
Shinji is your brother, right?
Killed, what does it mean?!
Huh?
Uh... wait a minute...
The day before yesterday, the news was saying that a doctor was killed in a high-class residence in Hibarigaoka.
That doctor is your dad?
In the news?
You didn't know?!
No, I had no idea...
Wait, wait a minute, Akari! I gotta call Hinako...
Who cares about that! You've got to explain this to me first!
Huh... Why?
Like, I'm now together with someone related to a murder case.
Your brother really killed him?
Reading that email... I got so scared I don't know what to do.
What should I do?
You saw it on your own without asking...
Say something to comfort me!
I'm scared.
Akari!
Hinako...
Can I come in?
Yeah.
Nakamura-san.
Is now okay?
Yeah.
Lunch break?
Right.
Here.
Oh... Thank you.
I was in the area, so I thought I'd visit you.
Nobody believes something like that said by a police, huh?
Yeah.
You're right.
Hey...
Your husband... has he been unusual these days?
No... not really.
I talked to my husband about the 10 million borrowed from Takahashi-san.
He said he hasn't even touched one yen of it.
He said he'd return it once things calm down.
I see.
If things were bad with Takahashi-san, I would know.
I often talk to his wife, you see.
Oh... Junko-san.
Yeah.
It's worrying...
Shinji-kun, as well.
The culprit is a robber, right?
The two of them just got entangled in this, right?
I'm sure Junko-san doesn't know what to do now.
What can I do to help Junko-san?
You haven't changed at all, Nakamura-san.
You're kind.
Look... During school festival, you said you'd work on the stand for our seminar, do you remember?
Was it a yakisoba stall or something?
Right, it was a yakisoba stall.
Yakisoba stall...
That time too, you worked a lot all by yourself.
You were watching?
I thought about yelling, "Why are you making Nakamura-san do it all by herself?!"
But... I couldn't do it.
Why?
If I had done that, I would have put you in a dilemma,
and you would have a hard time continuing, I thought.
It was alright for me, actually.
Everyone was busy with part-time job, or club activities.
Weren't you like that too?
Hey...
All in all, you're the type to convince yourself like that?
It's better to depend on others when you're stuck, you know.
I talked about lots of things with Junko-san.
There is no one else but her who's there to help me.
Either way, it ends up at he Bazaar. Doesn't matter who gives it to them.
It's because of Junko-san that I was able to stay in Hibarigaoka.
Because Junko-san was there, I was able to think that it's such a wonderful town.
You say that I'm a kind person...
...but the ones who are truly kind are people like Junko-san.
You were friends, huh...
Not just mere neighbors.
Yeah.
I will definitely dig to the bottom of this.
Please find Shinji-kun, too.
One of the design point is that it is made as a one whole space.
Well, starting off with this...
How is it going?
Currently, there is no suspicious movement.
What about from the wife?
Heard anything?
She wants to speak with Takahashi Junko.
Seems that they're friends...
Your siblings are more important than I am?
I'm only worth that much?
What are you talking about! Open this door quick!
Anyway, I am going home with my brother to Yokohama.
Give my brother's cellphone back!
No! No way!
Hey...
Is it true?
That Dad died?
Yeah...
Shinji and Mama's whereabouts are unknown.
The police are looking for them.
What are we supposed to do, Yoshiyuki?
What are we supposed to do...
Hinako...
How did you get here?
The night bus. I don't have that much money.
You didn't sleep, did you? Get some rest.
What are you talking about? How can I rest at a time like this?
You look awful.
Even a little bit helps. Get some sleep.
In the meantime, I'll go to the lab.
The university? Why?
There's something I have to do.
The time is right to get the correct data.
Data or family, which is more important!?
Yeah, no I get it.
We have to get back to Yokohama.
But before that, I gotta do what I gotta do. I'll be back right away.
Wait a minute Yoshiyuki! Stay with me... I'm scared!
I'd like you to think of me more than your parents, more than your siblings.
That's impossible for now! I'd like you to think of me more than your parents, more than your siblings.
That's impossible for now!
In any case, I need to get to Yokohama... Gotta go to the lab.
I have to sort things out!
Give me some time.
Sorry...
Wait... Yoshiyuki!
I'm e-mailing you for the first time.
I tried many times before but never could send anything.
Figured that whatever I write would look dumb to you.
Where are you now?
You can't go back, what does it mean?
There are people who are saying that you are the culprit for what happened that night, but I...
Ayaka.
What are you doing, sneaking like that?
Give it back to me! Don't look at it! Give it back to me! What are you doing, sneaking like that?
Give it back to me! Don't look at it! Give it back to me!
What are you getting so desperate about?
Don't look at it!
Hmm... "I'm emailing you..."
Ooh... You know Shinji's email address?
I've asked you, "Tell me Shinji's email address" so many times, and yet...
You must be laughing at me inside, huh?
That's not how it is.
What is this?
Cosplaying with Seishuu uniform?
Are you an idiot?
Our mothers are close.
Ooh...
Sorry. If I told you so I figured you'd get mad at me.
Yeah, I am mad.
But I don't care about Shinji anymore anyway.
He did it, didn't he?
I can't forgive that you lied to me, Ayaka.
Are you a friend, then?
I'm sorry-
Always "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Do really think you did something that bad?
What should we do?
What should we do~
Ah! Right.
Your mom works at the supermarket, right~
Safe trip!
Bye bye.
It'll be 1698 yen.
Wait a minute.
Okay, okay, come to the office.
Wait, wait! What's going on!?
Wait, hey... Stop right there!
Thief! Get her!
Got caught, eh?
So stupid.
Since Monday, Ayaka-san has left early this week.
Is she sick? Did you go to the hospital?
No. There's nothing different with her at all at home.
Maybe I should've contacted you sooner?
I'm sorry.
in this period, a lot of students leave early because of exam preparations.
Um... What is Ayaka like at school?
She's a straight and well-mannered student.
Gets along well with her friends too.
With Shiho-chan and the others?
The four of them always get excited over something together.
I see.
Is there anything else different about her?
Oh... Why did she decide to withdraw her application for private school?
Huh?
Was it Wednesday?
"I'll just go with this one application for public school," she said. She came to me for advice.
She said it's because she wants to go to the same school as Shiho and the others.
I told her it's better to have backups.
"If you fail the public school, you have no other options", I said, but she kept quiet.
Please set aside a time to talk to her. Exam time is soon too.
Your daughter must be feeling unrest.
I-I will...
Thank you very much.
Mom...
Who threw this away?
I'll take care of this, okay.
Did you throw it away, Mom?! I'll take care of this, okay.
Did you throw it away, Mom?!
Answer me!
Today is the last match, why wouldn't you understand that...
Why...
Welcome.
We're from Sakatome Police. We are searching for these two people. Have you seen them?
I don't think so.
I see. Could we take a look inside the store?
Of course.
Excuse me, we're from Sakatome Police.
We're looking for these two people, have you ever seen them?
Thank you.
We would like to amend the community regulations with this following.
If anyone is involved in any crime, that community member is ordered to leave this council,
and is to be evicted from Hibarigaoka immediately.
This is proposed by the Women's Committee.
What do you think, council head?
Evicted... That's impossible.
It's not limited to the Takahashi household only.
As you yourselves know, year after year, the quality and the moral of the residents have gone down.
What kind of crime would befall Hibarigaoka next?
We have to think of countermeasures, don't you think?
I understand that such a crime happenening is frightening.
However, the perpetrator hasn't been captured yet.
The Takahashis are victims of that crime.
Shinji-kun and Mrs. Takahashi are on the run, aren't they?
They could be hiding somewhere nearby.
I can't take it anymore, it's terrfying!
Wait, let's calm down! Okay? Okay?
Let's calm down!
The Takahashi children are still students. Let us protect them.
That is the integrity of this town.
Integrity?! That is the integrity of this town.
Integrity?!
That integrity is in shambles right now. Has it not been trampled on?
Hibarigaoka's image is that it's a place where a murder happened, that's how it's seen now.
We have spent a long time building it up,
however, that integrity and prestige have fallen to the ground in an instant.
Who is going to pay for that, is that what I'm saying.
Who is going to protect Hibarigaoka?
Who else other than ourselves, with our own hands?
Because you all here wouldn't do it...
I will do it.
Men are useless, after all. Whatever it is, they shut it with a single word...
We'll have to think of countermeasures from now on, right, Satoko-san?
Yes...
Oh?
Isn't that Maa-kun?
Long time no see.
Look, Satoko-san, it's Maa-kun!
I'm home, Mom.
Maa-kun!
Andou-san and the others, weren't they coming here?
It's okay.
You're more important than them, right?
You're going to live here from now on, right?
What would you like for dinner?
You haven't been to Japan for a while, right?
Ah... I'm only here temporarily. I'm staying in a hotel.
You could sleep here too!
I'll move out of my place over there and come home in March, maybe.
I can hardly wait.
Your second floor bedroom isn't furnished yet.
Shall I just decide everything?
About that, we'll be staying at Rina's parent's house for a while.
What do you mean?
Did your in-laws say something to you?
That's not it.
Rina...
...is pregnant.
Is that true, Maa-kun?
She'll give birth in summer.
Is it a boy? A girl?
We don't know yet.
Oh~! It took a while, right?
I thought maybe Rina-san has problems, but thank goodness!
Mama will do anything for you. Let Mama do everything for you!
No... so as I was saying, we'll be staying with Rina's parents.
That's Rina-san, right? Maa-kun is staying here, right?
Even when I come home to Japan, I'll be busy with work.
Rina's house is closer to the office.
Why is here not good for you?
There was a murder, right? Won't be able to relax here.
You don't have to worry about that.
I'm having people who aren't worthy of this town to leave.
It's going to be the quiet Hibarigaoka like it was before.
I'm sure it'll look like Maa-kun and will be so cute, eh?
Let's raise it together in Hibarigaoka, okay?
Let's go!
No, I said... Let's go!
No, I said...
I'm going home early today~
Just one should be okay!
Just a little, okay?
Thief! Get her!
It's a small house, you know.
But being a regular office worker, building just one house, do you know how tough it was?
I don't have my own room, you know.
Even so, if my wife's happy, I thought it's all good.
Isn't that great? You have your own joyful home.
I wonder about that...
My daughter and wife end up comparing themselves to the people around.
Around us are mansions.
The children all go to private schools.
That's Hibarigaoka Quality for you.
I'd be fine wherever, you know.
If it's going to be all awkward like this, I should've just bought a high-rise apartment by the bay.
Awkward? Your wife is beautiful, right?
She was an usher at model houses.
And I was there to fix the wallpapers.
Excuse me, can I get another one of this?
Sure.
More than anything anything, I liked that she was composed and gentle.
Well, enough of this talk.
Welcome home.
Ayaka, sit down.
Since something like that happened to the house across, something has changed in my own house as well.
That is definitely murder within the family, huh?
I've been thinking...
houses where incidents occur and houses where incidents don't occur,
...probably are not that different.
It's splitting hairs.
Well off or not well off, that's not the problem.
In whichever house, you never know when an incident that'll make the newspapers will befall upon it.
Is that really so? I wonder...
I don't know.
We could be either perpetrators or victims tomorrow, maybe.
You came to the supermarket where I work today, right?
You didn't shoplift or anything, did you?
Of course, I believe in you. But...
If you believe in me, then why ask? You're doubting me, right?
I'm not, I believe you.
What does it feel like? I'm not, I believe you.
What does it feel like?
Your daughter shoplifting at the place where you work.
Hey, Ayaka... I'm not done yet!
Let me go!
Sit down!
You didn't do it, right?
You didn't shoplift, right? Ayaka!
You know,
I have so many things I want to ask you about.
It seems like you've been leaving school early. Why?
Are you not feeling well?
I don't feel bad at all! Shut up! Are you not feeling well?
I don't feel bad at all! Shut up!
Hey, I heard from your homeroom teacher that you withdrew your private school application.
But why?
I told you to shut up! But why?
I told you to shut up!
Hey, Ayaka!
Ayaka! Answer me.
Your mom, you see... I beg you,
I can't understand a thing with "Shut up"!
Ayaka!
I want to know more about you!
I... I just want to know about you.
What are you thinking of?
What are you angry at?
Did something happen?
Ayaka!
Don't touch me! Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!!!
Shut up! Don't talk to me!
DIE!
GET OUT OF HIBARIGAOKA!
doctor Takahashi murder
On the 22nd, around 11 in the evening...
...an emergency call came in from the house of Takahashi Hiroyuki, aged 51, in Hibarigaoka, Sakatome Ward, Yokohama City.
Paramedics rushed to the scene...
and Hiroyuki-san was...
Ah, Takahashi! Student Affairs were looking so hard for you.
The police called, I heard.
Did something happen?
Yeah...
Seems that my pop died.
W-why are you here? Is it okay for you not to go home?
While I'm in Kyoto... I'm just a university student like anyone else.
But once I'm back in Yokohama...
can't get away from things.
What are you talking about?
I don't wanna know, don't wanna hear...
can't be like that, huh.
Takahashi, are you alright?
Sorry...
Hello?
Yoshiyuki...
Shinji, is it you?
Shinji, you okay?
Where are you?
I want to go home.
I wanna go home...
Shinji...
Tell me where you are.
Yoshiyuki...
I...
Is there nothing but death for me?
What the hell!?
I'm right here!
I am listening to you, so don't go anywhere!
Don't move, stay right there! Shinji...
Shinji!
What's up?
Takahashi Shinji's phone has powered up!
Where?
Nichigen Building in Sakuragi-cho, 4 chome 3 no. 13!
Search for him!
Yes, Sir!
It's all my fault...
It's all my fault.
Why is it that we can't talk about our family problems to other people?
The hearts of family members who are closest to us...
are further away than strangers' hearts.
If we'd been able to cry and confide in someone,
would anything have changed in the slightest?
Hidden number
Hello?
Mayumi-san... It's Junko.
Can we meet tomorrow?
Junko-san! Where are you?
I want to meet you. There's something I want to talk about.
Where shall I go?
4 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT JANUARY 26, 2013
I'll be back soon. Lunch box is in the fridge.
GET LOST - EYESORE - MURDERER - NO USE RUNNING AWAY - HYPOCRITE
LEAVE HIBARIGAOKA!
KILL YOURSELVES, THE WHOLE FAMILY
MURDERER!!
Why is is that we can't talk about our family's situation to others?
That's because...
the fact that your home is broken,
and the thought of being pointed at behind your back is...
...terrifying.
