Solomon's Perjury (Part I Digest)
3
-00:02:54,218 --> -00:02:48,779
After 23 years I return to this school, as a teacher.
4
-00:02:48,112 --> -00:02:45,643
Your legend has been passed down.
5
-00:02:45,543 --> -00:02:40,673
Surprised to earn our school
trial had become a legend.
6
-00:02:40,538 --> -00:02:37,136
I want you to tell me the entire story.
7
-00:02:36,167 --> -00:02:30,763
It started on Christmas morning, 1990.
8
-00:02:30,161 --> -00:02:25,633
I'm afraid your classmate, Takuya Kashiwagi...
9
-00:02:24,688 --> -00:02:23,493
He's passed away.
10
-00:02:23,454 --> -00:02:20,018
The police concluded it was suicide.
11
-00:02:19,617 --> -00:02:13,052
An anonymous letter accused classmate Oide
of pushing Kashiwagi to his death.
12
-00:02:12,943 --> -00:02:11,509
You hid the truth?
13
-00:02:11,108 --> -00:02:08,844
That accusation reached a TV station.
14
-00:02:08,706 --> -00:02:07,079
I didn't rip it up.
15
-00:02:06,971 --> -00:02:05,572
Our school went into panic mode.
16
-00:02:05,536 --> -00:02:04,546
He was murdered.
17
-00:02:04,502 --> -00:02:02,602
I bet Oide did it.
18
-00:02:02,533 --> -00:01:57,936
His death wasn't suicide, it was murder.
19
-00:01:57,728 --> -00:01:51,129
Rumor said Juri and Matsuko,
both victims of Oide's bullying, had sent the letter.
20
-00:01:47,151 --> -00:01:44,853
Matsuko later died in a car accident.
21
-00:01:44,181 --> -00:01:42,656
Help!
22
-00:01:42,513 --> -00:01:40,920
Help!
23
-00:01:40,811 --> -00:01:38,911
Why don't you go help them?
24
-00:01:38,742 --> -00:01:36,011
You said we had to stand up to bullying
25
-00:01:35,639 --> -00:01:32,112
You're all talk. The worst kind of hypocrite.
26
-00:01:32,069 --> -00:01:29,600
People like you are the pits.
27
-00:01:28,833 --> -00:01:26,501
His words made my heart bleed.
28
-00:01:26,097 --> -00:01:23,799
I even considered killing myself.
29
-00:01:23,694 --> -00:01:21,066
But the will to live was stronger.
30
-00:01:16,187 --> -00:01:11,090
I stopped running from reality,
I decided to fight for the truth.
31
-00:01:11,048 --> -00:01:09,717
We'll discover the truth.
32
-00:01:09,647 --> -00:01:07,246
Is wanting the truth such a bad thing?
33
-00:01:07,178 --> -00:01:05,483
But both of them can't be guilty.
34
-00:01:05,076 --> -00:01:03,517
Not in a real court case.
35
-00:01:03,240 --> -00:01:01,943
Then let's hold a trial.
36
-00:01:01,772 --> -00:00:59,246
Listen, let's hold a school trial.
37
-00:00:59,170 --> -00:00:55,108
No one told us why they had to die.
38
-00:00:54,799 --> -00:00:49,895
If you refuse this trial,
I'll sue you for damages.
39
-00:00:49,794 --> -00:00:48,565
It could be interesting.
40
-00:00:48,259 --> -00:00:45,028
Oide, I want you to be the defendant.
41
-00:00:44,021 --> -00:00:41,222
This son of a killer will represent you.
42
-00:00:41,185 --> -00:00:38,090
Oide will come. I promise I'll get him.
43
00:00:38,015 --> 00:00:40,575
Tell me, Kambara. Why push so hard?
44
-00:00:35,112 --> -00:00:31,915
It's as if Kashiwagi is putting me to a test.
45
-00:00:31,675 --> -00:00:25,713
He gave his life and he's asking me
if I can do more than just talk.
46
-00:00:25,436 --> -00:00:21,943
You can broadcast the trial live from school.
47
-00:00:21,832 --> -00:00:18,897
That's what Kashiwagi would want.
48
-00:00:18,162 --> -00:00:15,568
What on earth are you doing?
49
-00:00:14,525 --> -00:00:13,763
Juri!
50
-00:00:11,489 --> -00:00:03,991
Our school ma! had one objective.
To learn the truth
51
00:00:15,105 --> 00:00:22,410
Shochiku Presents
52
00:01:01,718 --> 00:01:08,146
In my mind,
I saw you as a superwoman.
53
00:01:08,958 --> 00:01:12,292
You held an actual trial at school.
54
00:01:13,029 --> 00:01:14,724
Sorry, I'm no superwoman.
55
00:01:14,831 --> 00:01:20,770
Frankly,
I wondered if the girl portrayed actually existed.
56
00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:24,304
At least now we can correct the legend.
57
00:01:24,908 --> 00:01:27,775
And pass on what actually happened.
58
00:01:30,313 --> 00:01:32,975
I'm surprised you didn't give up.
59
00:01:34,818 --> 00:01:38,755
If it was me, I'm sure I would have.
60
00:01:39,756 --> 00:01:44,216
The parents and teachers all opposed a trial,
right?
61
00:01:45,161 --> 00:01:47,994
You even got the police to cooperate.
62
00:01:49,232 --> 00:01:53,328
To be honest, I was really very scared.
63
00:01:54,871 --> 00:01:58,330
It was like being left alone in the wilderness.
64
00:01:58,808 --> 00:02:02,369
Yes, it must have been an ordeal for you.
65
00:02:03,446 --> 00:02:07,440
I gained courage and support from those
I fought alongside.
66
00:02:09,152 --> 00:02:11,450
You all worked hard to expose the truth.
67
00:02:12,121 --> 00:02:13,179
We did.
68
00:02:15,158 --> 00:02:16,455
But in the end...
69
00:02:18,428 --> 00:02:23,423
As you already know...
70
00:02:23,933 --> 00:02:28,871
an unexpected truth lay in wait to ambush us.
71
00:02:31,341 --> 00:02:34,504
It was me who sent those letters of accusation.
72
00:02:35,245 --> 00:02:38,772
I saw Oide and the others kill Kashiwagi.
July 26, 1991
73
00:02:39,482 --> 00:02:41,507
You were in class 2A?
74
00:02:41,951 --> 00:02:45,410
Yes, in 2nd year. Class, 2A.
75
00:02:45,855 --> 00:02:50,725
This uncalled-for trial
will only hurt the innocent.
76
00:02:51,194 --> 00:02:55,392
Yes, but one anonymous phone call
is not real evidence.
77
00:02:55,698 --> 00:02:57,325
Oide's house got burned down, right?
78
00:02:57,467 --> 00:02:59,868
Everyone says my Juri set that fire.
79
00:03:03,106 --> 00:03:06,701
I'll never forgive them for that!
80
00:03:07,076 --> 00:03:10,376
Please use your influence to stop this trial.
81
00:03:42,211 --> 00:03:55,057
Solomon's Perjury
82
00:03:58,795 --> 00:04:05,861
Part II: Judgment
83
00:04:20,283 --> 00:04:21,773
Good morning.
84
00:04:23,019 --> 00:04:26,114
Juri's mom called me and spun a tale of lies.
85
00:04:26,222 --> 00:04:28,247
She let it slip by saying my Juri.
86
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:33,855
Now she won't meet me or
admit she made the call.
87
00:04:35,431 --> 00:04:37,900
You're holding a mock trial at school?
88
00:04:38,468 --> 00:04:40,766
Juri and Oide will give evidence, right?
89
00:04:41,404 --> 00:04:44,999
Please ask them to participate
in our TV show.
90
00:04:45,141 --> 00:04:46,336
I refuse.
91
00:04:46,509 --> 00:04:48,910
Like you, we only want the truth.
92
00:04:49,012 --> 00:04:51,743
Your first broadcast was full of lies.
93
00:04:51,881 --> 00:04:54,213
That's not quite accurate.
94
00:04:54,417 --> 00:04:57,751
You remember the letter sent
to Miss Moriuchi?
95
00:04:58,021 --> 00:04:59,318
Of course, I do.
96
00:05:01,024 --> 00:05:04,187
She never received that letter.
97
00:05:04,894 --> 00:05:06,953
It was stolen before she even saw it.
98
00:05:07,130 --> 00:05:08,325
What's that?
99
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,196
These prove she didn't rip it up.
100
00:05:13,770 --> 00:05:16,865
Her neighbor had long
been stealing her mail.
101
00:05:17,507 --> 00:05:18,975
This woman?
102
00:05:19,308 --> 00:05:20,298
YES.
103
00:05:20,443 --> 00:05:23,879
It was she who sent you the letter.
104
00:05:26,215 --> 00:05:30,277
Miss Moriuchi and her mother
both say they'll sue you.
105
00:05:31,854 --> 00:05:37,156
So promise me you will not talk to
Juri or Oide.
106
00:05:57,213 --> 00:05:58,203
Coming.
107
00:06:05,354 --> 00:06:09,188
I'm Ryoko Fujino, a classmate of Juri's.
108
00:06:09,392 --> 00:06:10,985
My name is Yukio Kosaka.
109
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,355
Yes?
110
00:06:12,495 --> 00:06:15,123
You know Mr Mogi, from News Adventure?
111
00:06:16,332 --> 00:06:19,324
The TV program, yes. But I'm very busy.
112
00:06:19,435 --> 00:06:22,166
You called him, pretending to be a student.
113
00:06:22,705 --> 00:06:25,800
But you let it slip by saying " My Juri."
114
00:06:27,210 --> 00:06:29,907
What? I'm the adult here!
115
00:06:30,246 --> 00:06:33,409
Ridiculous. You're the one having fantasies.
116
00:06:33,850 --> 00:06:37,115
That's funny? I didn't call any reporter.
117
00:06:38,354 --> 00:06:41,119
What mischief are you really up to?
118
00:06:41,290 --> 00:06:44,021
Juri, do you have a minute to talk?
119
00:06:44,127 --> 00:06:45,253
Go back upstairs.
120
00:06:45,361 --> 00:06:48,126
Juri, this is really important.
121
00:06:48,264 --> 00:06:49,993
Don't listen to them.
122
00:06:50,066 --> 00:06:53,001
Sorry. I need to use the bathroom.
123
00:06:54,303 --> 00:06:55,270
No, stop!
124
00:06:55,772 --> 00:06:58,173
You can't just walk in!
125
00:07:02,411 --> 00:07:07,178
Mr Mogi reckons your mom
thinks you wrote those letters.
126
00:07:07,917 --> 00:07:09,510
Did you?
127
00:07:12,321 --> 00:07:14,050
You saw them kill him?
128
00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:19,820
If so, we need you as a witness at our trial.
129
00:07:19,896 --> 00:07:22,388
I'm the prosecutor, I promise I'll protect you.
130
00:07:22,932 --> 00:07:25,128
We don't need your protection.
131
00:07:25,268 --> 00:07:26,895
No TV coverage.
132
00:07:26,969 --> 00:07:28,266
Out, both of you.
133
00:07:28,371 --> 00:07:31,966
I'll prove Juri is telling the truth.
134
00:07:32,208 --> 00:07:35,769
Enough! That's quite enough!
135
00:07:36,345 --> 00:07:37,506
Please, call me.
136
00:07:37,847 --> 00:07:41,249
Leave now. Get out of here.
137
00:07:43,219 --> 00:07:45,085
Excuse us.
138
00:08:04,907 --> 00:08:06,068
Ryoko Fujino FAX 3130-1239
139
00:08:06,175 --> 00:08:08,872
I hate people like her.
140
00:08:10,980 --> 00:08:13,210
We had one like her at my school.
141
00:08:13,549 --> 00:08:18,885
Always forcing her version of
justice onto everyone else.
142
00:08:21,324 --> 00:08:23,884
You won't need her number.
143
00:08:35,137 --> 00:08:40,940
In high school,
you'll make friends at the same level as you.
144
00:08:40,977 --> 00:08:47,383
I didn't realize just how stupid you really are.
145
00:08:53,089 --> 00:08:56,855
So tell me how you feel, dear?
146
00:09:07,370 --> 00:09:09,134
Try to understand.
147
00:09:11,107 --> 00:09:12,836
One thing.
148
00:09:14,977 --> 00:09:17,378
I only wanted to protect you.
149
00:09:35,064 --> 00:09:36,293
Get off me!
150
00:09:39,068 --> 00:09:41,799
I'll make you pay for these plants.
151
00:09:48,177 --> 00:09:49,474
Stop it!
152
00:09:50,012 --> 00:09:51,480
You cannot get away.
153
00:09:53,416 --> 00:09:55,817
You're under arrest!
154
00:10:05,928 --> 00:10:12,061
Oide's father set the fire so
he could collect the insurance, right?
155
00:10:13,436 --> 00:10:14,835
Here.
156
00:10:17,206 --> 00:10:22,269
An employee of Universal Real Estate was
also arrested for arson.
157
00:10:22,378 --> 00:10:25,211
That has nothing to do with your trial.
158
00:10:25,815 --> 00:10:27,806
Call when you want to order.
159
00:10:29,352 --> 00:10:34,188
The night Kashiwagi died,
Oide had a number of visitors to his home.
160
00:10:36,058 --> 00:10:39,961
One was the real estate guy you arrested.
161
00:10:41,530 --> 00:10:42,895
How do you know that?
162
00:10:43,499 --> 00:10:46,059
Oide's mom gave that as his alibi.
163
00:10:47,536 --> 00:10:54,101
If your prisoner testifies he saw him,
that will lock-in Oide's alibi.
164
00:10:57,313 --> 00:10:58,872
It's impossible.
165
00:10:59,315 --> 00:11:05,778
Even if he can clear Oide, he's in jail.
We can't let him out to testify.
166
00:11:07,089 --> 00:11:12,186
But Oide's mom is not allowed to testify either.
167
00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:16,827
Oide may be a rogue.
168
00:11:16,966 --> 00:11:20,834
If he's innocent, it's my duty to prove it.
169
00:11:21,003 --> 00:11:22,198
So please reconsider.
170
00:11:35,217 --> 00:11:39,950
If there is other evidence,
I'm sure Oide will participate.
171
00:11:42,058 --> 00:11:44,152
I know we're asking the impossible.
172
00:11:44,326 --> 00:11:48,763
But we've started this and we need to finish it.
173
00:11:48,864 --> 00:11:51,697
I'm a police officer, I have my duty.
174
00:11:52,268 --> 00:11:54,965
Before that you're my father, right?
175
00:11:55,104 --> 00:11:58,005
Ryoko, calm down. That's not like you.
176
00:11:58,107 --> 00:12:01,304
Not like me? You don't know anything.
177
00:12:03,979 --> 00:12:05,174
Ryoko!!
178
00:12:10,119 --> 00:12:11,245
Where are you going?
179
00:12:11,787 --> 00:12:13,152
To see Oide.
180
00:12:14,056 --> 00:12:17,219
To convince him to appear at the trial.
181
00:12:17,326 --> 00:12:19,226
- Wait!
- I'll go.
182
00:12:43,452 --> 00:12:44,442
Ryoko!!
183
00:12:52,027 --> 00:12:53,119
Ryoko!!
184
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:05,063
Ryoko!!
185
00:13:12,114 --> 00:13:13,172
Ryoko!!
186
00:13:16,018 --> 00:13:17,918
Are you crazy?!
187
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:44,769
Let's go back.
188
00:13:58,127 --> 00:13:59,151
Ryoko.
189
00:14:08,971 --> 00:14:12,805
I started to walk away when I saw Kashiwagi.
190
00:14:14,109 --> 00:14:16,100
Looking at me coldly.
191
00:14:19,815 --> 00:14:21,214
And then...
192
00:14:23,419 --> 00:14:25,945
He said something, didn't he?
193
00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:34,056
He asked why didn't I step in.
194
00:14:37,366 --> 00:14:42,463
He said I was all talk, no action.
The worst kind of hypocrite.
195
00:14:47,843 --> 00:14:53,009
That shocked me, but I knew he was right.
196
00:15:03,158 --> 00:15:05,889
I was too scared to interfere.
197
00:15:05,995 --> 00:15:10,364
So I made up an excuse and
I hate myself for that.
198
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:17,337
I wanted Kashiwagi to just disappear.
199
00:15:20,342 --> 00:15:24,006
Many times I wished he would just go away.
200
00:15:28,384 --> 00:15:32,412
But that's not why he died.
201
00:15:37,993 --> 00:15:39,119
I know that.
202
00:15:40,496 --> 00:15:41,986
But don't forget...
203
00:15:43,732 --> 00:15:46,497
I found his body that morning.
204
00:15:49,271 --> 00:15:52,434
Those dead eyes looking up at me.
205
00:15:53,776 --> 00:15:55,244
Ryoko.
206
00:15:57,179 --> 00:16:03,141
I imagined there was something
he wanted to tell me.
207
00:16:08,357 --> 00:16:10,883
I think it's time you went to bed.
208
00:16:18,133 --> 00:16:19,328
Good night.
209
00:16:19,702 --> 00:16:21,101
Sleep tight.
210
00:16:21,837 --> 00:16:22,861
Good night.
211
00:16:23,072 --> 00:16:24,369
Good night.
212
00:16:52,167 --> 00:16:54,135
Will you do as she wants?
213
00:16:55,304 --> 00:16:57,068
What should I do?
214
00:16:59,775 --> 00:17:01,766
Don't ask me.
215
00:17:06,148 --> 00:17:07,274
Listen, Kinuko.
216
00:17:11,253 --> 00:17:13,347
If we had...
217
00:17:18,227 --> 00:17:22,994
I thought my family would always be safe.
218
00:17:26,001 --> 00:17:28,993
After tonight, I realized that's not true.
219
00:17:31,507 --> 00:17:35,171
If Ryoko had died...
220
00:17:37,913 --> 00:17:41,816
I'd never have known the depth of her anxiety.
221
00:17:46,155 --> 00:17:47,919
Not just you.
222
00:17:48,056 --> 00:17:52,755
I've forced her to be the girl I wanted her to be.
223
00:17:58,167 --> 00:18:00,226
It's not too late, is it?
224
00:18:01,203 --> 00:18:03,831
You'll let the real estate guy testify?
225
00:18:03,972 --> 00:18:09,376
No, that's impossible. But there must be a way.
226
00:18:14,016 --> 00:18:15,006
What?
227
00:18:15,484 --> 00:18:18,510
Do what you can, but don't get yourself fired.
228
00:18:21,256 --> 00:18:22,280
You're right.
229
00:18:27,429 --> 00:18:28,919
Want a beer?
230
00:18:31,767 --> 00:18:37,001
Kambara Kimono Cleaners
231
00:18:41,577 --> 00:18:44,046
Good day, my name is Noda.
232
00:18:44,146 --> 00:18:45,511
Hello there.
233
00:18:45,981 --> 00:18:47,380
Mother.
234
00:18:47,483 --> 00:18:49,212
A friend of Kazuhiko's.
235
00:18:52,287 --> 00:18:53,345
Hello there.
236
00:18:53,489 --> 00:18:54,854
Good day, I'm Noda.
237
00:18:55,023 --> 00:18:56,388
I'll just get him.
238
00:19:06,802 --> 00:19:07,928
Never seen this before?
239
00:19:08,170 --> 00:19:09,194
No, sir.
240
00:19:09,304 --> 00:19:11,864
We remove stains from soiled kimono.
241
00:19:13,375 --> 00:19:17,539
It's hot out today. Have this.
242
00:19:17,813 --> 00:19:18,939
Thanks.
243
00:19:19,214 --> 00:19:22,275
Kazuhiko, Noda is here to see you.
244
00:19:22,784 --> 00:19:24,343
Give me a minute.
245
00:19:25,220 --> 00:19:27,814
I'm pleased to see he's making new friends.
246
00:19:27,923 --> 00:19:31,120
Not at all. I'm pleased to be his friend.
247
00:19:32,561 --> 00:19:33,790
He's interested.
248
00:19:33,929 --> 00:19:35,260
Fascinating, isn't it?
249
00:19:35,797 --> 00:19:37,231
Sorry to keep you.
250
00:19:38,166 --> 00:19:40,191
Before you go.
251
00:19:44,773 --> 00:19:46,070
Here.
252
00:19:46,208 --> 00:19:47,369
Thanks.
253
00:19:48,110 --> 00:19:49,202
You too, Noda.
254
00:19:51,446 --> 00:19:53,437
It's my husbands, though.
255
00:19:53,715 --> 00:19:55,046
I don't need one.
256
00:19:55,183 --> 00:19:57,845
You do. You'll get sunstroke in this heat.
257
00:19:57,953 --> 00:19:59,216
Looks good.
258
00:19:59,321 --> 00:20:00,447
It does.
259
00:20:01,456 --> 00:20:03,515
Thanks for that.
260
00:20:03,892 --> 00:20:05,917
Not at all. Now go on.
261
00:20:06,028 --> 00:20:07,257
See you.
262
00:20:09,932 --> 00:20:11,263
Take care.
263
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,174
Your mom's still young and beautiful.
264
00:20:22,344 --> 00:20:24,244
You take after her.
265
00:20:26,081 --> 00:20:28,243
Oh, sorry. I forgot.
266
00:20:28,951 --> 00:20:32,251
She was my real mom's best friend.
267
00:20:33,088 --> 00:20:36,251
After Mom's death they adopted me.
268
00:20:36,391 --> 00:20:37,358
really?
269
00:20:37,459 --> 00:20:39,894
Your mom would be happy.
270
00:20:40,429 --> 00:20:42,227
Which mom is that?
271
00:20:42,965 --> 00:20:44,524
What? You have more?
272
00:20:47,336 --> 00:20:49,270
Kambara, wait!
273
00:20:56,345 --> 00:20:58,814
Don't come back or I'll kill you, I said.
274
00:21:00,315 --> 00:21:06,721
We have a new witness
who can maybe confirm your alibi.
275
00:21:07,356 --> 00:21:08,949
Fujino's dad's a cop.
276
00:21:09,124 --> 00:21:11,752
Your enthusiasm is sickening.
277
00:21:13,128 --> 00:21:17,122
Don't you want to put
your mom's mind at ease?
278
00:21:17,833 --> 00:21:20,131
That's the one thing you can do.
279
00:21:20,268 --> 00:21:22,327
You're a cunning bugger.
280
00:21:24,306 --> 00:21:27,401
The killer's son is just like his dad.
281
00:21:29,311 --> 00:21:33,873
The blood of a wife-killer runs
through your veins.
282
00:21:34,016 --> 00:21:34,915
Take it back!
283
00:21:35,017 --> 00:21:36,382
Shut up, dumb sidekick.
284
00:21:36,485 --> 00:21:38,817
Take it back. Apologize.
285
00:21:40,055 --> 00:21:42,285
C'mon Fatso, you're dead!
286
00:21:43,492 --> 00:21:46,860
Doesn't that make you angry?
287
00:21:47,095 --> 00:21:51,965
No, he's right. Maybe I will turn into a killer.
288
00:21:52,134 --> 00:21:54,193
No way! That won't happen.
289
00:21:54,302 --> 00:21:58,933
Then why not kill yourself before you do?
290
00:22:00,008 --> 00:22:04,775
I've got no time to worry about the future.
291
00:22:05,113 --> 00:22:06,877
Now is all I have.
292
00:22:08,984 --> 00:22:13,421
If you don't want me as your lawyer,
then fire me.
293
00:22:30,405 --> 00:22:35,468
11 days until the school trial
294
00:22:41,383 --> 00:22:44,512
I'm the bailiff. What's my role?
295
00:22:45,220 --> 00:22:47,484
Your job is to assist the judge.
296
00:22:48,223 --> 00:22:51,784
If Oide becomes unruly,
you have to restrain him.
297
00:22:51,993 --> 00:22:53,017
Got it.
298
00:22:53,161 --> 00:22:54,390
Hey, Inoue.
299
00:22:54,496 --> 00:22:55,395
Call me Judge.
300
00:22:55,697 --> 00:22:58,894
Shall I use a mechanical pencil
or a ballpoint pen?
301
00:22:59,034 --> 00:23:01,002
Whichever you prefer.
302
00:23:01,403 --> 00:23:04,862
It will all be wasted if Oide doesn't turn up.
303
00:23:05,173 --> 00:23:06,163
Right.
304
00:23:13,048 --> 00:23:14,209
Hey there.
305
00:23:14,349 --> 00:23:16,511
- Good morning, sir.
- Morning!
306
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:23,915
Oide's mother called last night to say
he'll appear the trial.
307
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,418
We did it!
308
00:23:26,528 --> 00:23:27,962
Good job, Kambara!
309
00:23:30,365 --> 00:23:32,265
We did it!
310
00:23:32,768 --> 00:23:33,997
Thank you.
311
00:23:34,102 --> 00:23:36,366
Thank you, Kambara.
312
00:23:37,005 --> 00:23:37,836
Thank you.
313
00:23:37,973 --> 00:23:39,134
Good job.
314
00:23:41,143 --> 00:23:45,376
Kambara kept a promise
we all thought was impossible.
315
00:23:45,881 --> 00:23:50,114
The stalled trial began to move forward again.
316
00:24:07,335 --> 00:24:09,064
Thanks for coming.
317
00:24:10,038 --> 00:24:13,099
Hot, isn't it? Cold barley tea.
318
00:24:13,441 --> 00:24:14,374
Thank you.
319
00:24:14,476 --> 00:24:16,240
Good evening.
320
00:24:16,878 --> 00:24:18,346
No, stay seated.
321
00:24:18,446 --> 00:24:19,914
- Good evening.
- Sit down.
322
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:30,388
Our phone records for the 24th.
And Takuya's photo.
323
00:24:31,426 --> 00:24:33,986
Thank you for that.
324
00:24:34,095 --> 00:24:35,790
Not at all.
325
00:24:37,032 --> 00:24:41,765
These two incoming calls.
One was me calling from work.
326
00:24:42,103 --> 00:24:44,902
The other was from my wife's friend.
327
00:24:45,340 --> 00:24:48,275
But we don't know who made these 4 calls.
328
00:24:48,376 --> 00:24:49,969
No idea.
329
00:24:52,414 --> 00:24:54,143
Crucial evidence.
330
00:24:56,852 --> 00:25:01,449
If Oide and his gang had summoned
Kashiwagi up to the roof...
331
00:25:01,790 --> 00:25:03,986
it would be one of these four calls.
332
00:25:04,693 --> 00:25:06,957
That's what we concluded.
333
00:25:26,915 --> 00:25:29,384
Yes. What?
334
00:25:31,052 --> 00:25:33,316
You want to know where I am?
335
00:25:34,122 --> 00:25:41,995
This is a public phone booth at 7-18-3,
Kiba, Koto Ward.
336
00:25:44,499 --> 00:25:46,331
This one's from Taito Ward.
337
00:25:46,735 --> 00:25:50,137
All 4 calls showed one unexpected consistency.
338
00:25:52,407 --> 00:25:54,876
All made from public phone booths.
339
00:25:55,944 --> 00:25:58,436
Thank you, sir. Excuse me.
340
00:26:00,015 --> 00:26:02,006
That was also a public phone.
341
00:26:02,784 --> 00:26:04,183
Shall we go look?
342
00:26:04,319 --> 00:26:05,787
- Let's go.
- Good luck.
343
00:26:15,997 --> 00:26:17,158
That's it.
344
00:26:18,867 --> 00:26:22,929
Unlike today,
very few people had mobile phones hack then.
345
00:26:23,204 --> 00:26:28,005
when not at home,
everyone used public phone booths.
346
00:26:30,011 --> 00:26:34,414
All 4 calls were made from
different phone booths.
347
00:26:34,482 --> 00:26:39,010
Miyagawa Obstetrics & Gynecology Approximately
one hour apart, between 4 pm and 7:30 pm.
348
00:26:41,856 --> 00:26:46,919
We visited houses and shops
near to the phone booths.
349
00:26:47,095 --> 00:26:51,862
Restaurant Ominato Asking if anyone had
spotted Oide and his gang around there.
350
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:57,028
We assume they used that phone
sometime around 6:30 pm.
351
00:27:00,141 --> 00:27:01,905
I did see one boy.
352
00:27:02,844 --> 00:27:05,973
A young fellow about your age.
353
00:27:07,482 --> 00:27:12,420
It was snowing, he looked really tired.
354
00:27:13,288 --> 00:27:16,883
I asked him if he needed any help.
355
00:27:17,158 --> 00:27:19,889
When I did, he ran off.
356
00:27:20,161 --> 00:27:22,186
You said that was just after 7:30 pm?
357
00:27:22,297 --> 00:27:25,562
Around then,
because I shut the doors at 8 pm.
358
00:27:26,468 --> 00:27:29,028
That was the last of the 4 calls, right?
359
00:27:30,071 --> 00:27:33,166
Is he among these photographs?
360
00:27:34,442 --> 00:27:35,841
Please take a look.
361
00:27:39,481 --> 00:27:44,214
Well, it was over six months ago.
362
00:27:45,787 --> 00:27:50,088
But strangely,
I do have good long-term memory.
363
00:27:50,225 --> 00:27:55,254
My wife and baby were killed during
the fire-bombing of Tokyo.
364
00:27:55,463 --> 00:27:58,956
I wish I'd made them evacuate earlier.
365
00:27:59,534 --> 00:28:04,802
But at that time,
no one imagined Japan could lose the war.
366
00:28:06,207 --> 00:28:09,006
Sir. Thank you very much.
367
00:28:10,078 --> 00:28:11,910
Thank you, sir.
368
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:33,865
Coming.
369
00:29:13,741 --> 00:29:17,143
Emergency Room
370
00:29:17,245 --> 00:29:19,373
Don't run in a hospital!
371
00:29:21,950 --> 00:29:23,076
How's Miss Moriuchi?
372
00:29:23,952 --> 00:29:27,354
Surgery is over, she's in the ICU.
373
00:29:27,989 --> 00:29:29,889
Did they get her attacker?
374
00:29:30,258 --> 00:29:32,352
No, she's gone missing again.
375
00:29:34,095 --> 00:29:35,893
It's all my fault.
376
00:29:36,164 --> 00:29:38,132
Why do you say that?
377
00:29:38,199 --> 00:29:41,430
I showed Mr Mogi her photo. So maybe...
378
00:29:41,769 --> 00:29:43,760
Don't you worry about that.
379
00:29:44,005 --> 00:29:46,975
I discussed that with this gentleman.
380
00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:51,172
I'm Kawano, a private detective.
381
00:29:51,913 --> 00:29:56,373
Mr Mogi called repeatedly
asking me to find Minae Kakiuchi.
382
00:29:57,285 --> 00:29:59,276
But I refused.
383
00:30:00,388 --> 00:30:06,452
No one knows where she is,
so no reporters spoke to her.
384
00:30:08,096 --> 00:30:09,757
You got that, Fujino?
385
00:30:09,964 --> 00:30:13,264
The attack on
Miss Moriuchi was not your fault.
386
00:30:20,308 --> 00:30:21,742
Ryoko?
387
00:30:41,229 --> 00:30:42,822
Prosecutor Fujino.
388
00:30:46,968 --> 00:30:48,231
Don't you dare quit.
389
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,272
Not a chance.
390
00:31:14,395 --> 00:31:20,823
So, like Matsuko, you believe Juri's lies?
391
00:31:21,402 --> 00:31:26,135
I initiated this trial, I have to see it through.
392
00:31:27,041 --> 00:31:31,000
I'll do whatever I can to help you.
393
00:31:31,346 --> 00:31:35,476
I can testify to whatever
you want to know about Matsuko.
394
00:31:35,817 --> 00:31:39,082
Enough is enough. Stupid trial.
395
00:31:39,354 --> 00:31:41,914
It's an insult to our late daughter.
396
00:31:42,023 --> 00:31:46,017
Grow up. That's not Miss Fujino's intention.
397
00:31:46,461 --> 00:31:50,022
I won't be appearing at your trial.
398
00:31:51,432 --> 00:31:53,958
Where are you going?
399
00:31:54,235 --> 00:31:55,464
For a smoke.
400
00:31:58,940 --> 00:32:01,409
Sorry, don't mind him.
401
00:32:02,010 --> 00:32:03,273
Not at all.
402
00:32:03,878 --> 00:32:07,178
Matsuko was always talking about you.
403
00:32:07,815 --> 00:32:10,443
She said you're smart,
beautiful and very understanding.
404
00:32:10,752 --> 00:32:13,050
She looked up to you.
405
00:32:16,758 --> 00:32:21,855
At today's concert,
they'll play one of Matsuko's favorite pieces.
406
00:32:24,032 --> 00:32:26,933
Memorial Concert for Matsuko Asai
We had no idea.
407
00:32:27,268 --> 00:32:32,468
So many of her friends sad
about losing Matsuko.
408
00:32:35,143 --> 00:32:41,947
It's comforting to know she's held in
such high regard here at school.
409
00:32:44,185 --> 00:32:45,175
Well...
410
00:32:47,989 --> 00:32:51,323
No matter what our trial unearths...
411
00:32:52,460 --> 00:32:57,364
I'll do my very best for Matsuko.
412
00:33:33,835 --> 00:33:39,137
Memorial Concert for Matsuko Asai.
Thank you, Matsuko
413
00:34:48,910 --> 00:34:52,369
You're skin has really cleared up,
hasn't it, Juri?
414
00:34:54,081 --> 00:34:57,051
Because all that stress is gone from your life.
415
00:35:03,791 --> 00:35:09,161
I'm glad we took up
your suggestion to see a dermatologist.
416
00:35:09,363 --> 00:35:11,388
Forgive me for being so silly.
417
00:35:18,406 --> 00:35:24,072
I want to talk to Fujino.
Please call her and set it up.
418
00:35:28,983 --> 00:35:33,045
No, sorry. I absolutely forbid it.
419
00:35:49,737 --> 00:35:51,205
Can I join you?
420
00:36:03,451 --> 00:36:05,886
It's me, Fujino. I'm coming in.
421
00:36:19,267 --> 00:36:21,463
Thanks for getting in touch.
422
00:36:52,066 --> 00:36:53,534
May I sit down?
423
00:37:08,883 --> 00:37:11,079
I was just trying to...
424
00:38:25,860 --> 00:38:27,225
Juri Miyake is dead!
425
00:38:27,328 --> 00:38:30,161
Liar, you deserve to be hung!
426
00:38:30,297 --> 00:38:34,530
"Ugly acne, ugly acne,
ugly acne, ugly acne, ugly acne, ugly acne"
427
00:38:34,802 --> 00:38:38,067
Die! Juri Miyake
428
00:38:43,477 --> 00:38:44,569
This is terrible.
429
00:38:48,049 --> 00:38:49,380
My mother hid them.
430
00:38:50,451 --> 00:38:52,010
Your voice came back?
431
00:38:53,821 --> 00:38:56,290
Yes, after I cried.
432
00:39:00,995 --> 00:39:03,487
This hate-mail would make anyone cry.
433
00:39:10,337 --> 00:39:13,363
I want to appear at the trial.
434
00:39:16,043 --> 00:39:19,911
Matsuko and I saw them kill him.
435
00:39:24,285 --> 00:39:26,049
You don't want me to testify?
436
00:39:27,221 --> 00:39:30,282
Isn't that what you've wanted all along?
437
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,954
Why were you and
Matsuko on the roof in a snowstorm?
438
00:39:39,033 --> 00:39:43,368
The police said
it was very strange to be there at that hour.
439
00:39:44,472 --> 00:39:48,409
That's why they ruled his death a suicide.
440
00:39:51,112 --> 00:39:53,774
Please, tell me the truth.
441
00:39:58,352 --> 00:40:00,946
I'll do that at the trial.
442
00:40:02,456 --> 00:40:06,120
I'll tell the truth in my testimony.
443
00:40:08,129 --> 00:40:11,861
So let me appear as a prosecution witness.
444
00:40:17,805 --> 00:40:21,366
Okay, and I'll be there for you.
445
00:40:25,746 --> 00:40:27,407
You two, take this.
446
00:40:36,891 --> 00:40:37,915
Here?
447
00:40:40,961 --> 00:40:41,985
Is this okay?
448
00:40:49,403 --> 00:40:50,837
Hey, Kambara.
449
00:40:51,472 --> 00:40:56,103
The last of the four calls
Kashiwagi received that night.
450
00:40:56,443 --> 00:40:59,970
From a phone booth
near to an electronics store.
451
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,105
Yes, Noda told me.
452
00:41:02,850 --> 00:41:06,753
The storekeeper didn't
recognize Oide or any of his gang.
453
00:41:07,755 --> 00:41:09,120
What do you want me to say?
454
00:41:09,957 --> 00:41:15,123
Who do you think made that
final call to Kashiwagi?
455
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:19,792
He did.
456
00:41:20,334 --> 00:41:23,304
What do you mean? Who's "he”?
457
00:41:23,904 --> 00:41:25,531
Like I said, he did.
458
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,535
Why would Kashiwagi call his own home?
459
00:41:30,010 --> 00:41:34,106
Maybe he wanted to talk to his mom or dad.
460
00:41:34,215 --> 00:41:36,149
He could do that anytime.
461
00:41:40,921 --> 00:41:42,355
I think he was very troubled.
462
00:41:43,824 --> 00:41:45,121
About what?
463
00:41:47,895 --> 00:41:48,987
About killing himself.
464
00:41:53,868 --> 00:41:56,803
Have you ever seen this boy?
465
00:42:04,144 --> 00:42:07,011
I already told your fellow students.
466
00:42:07,414 --> 00:42:12,443
I didn't see any of the boys
in these photographs.
467
00:42:14,121 --> 00:42:17,113
I see. Sorry to trouble you.
468
00:42:22,162 --> 00:42:26,326
He was positive the boy
on the phone wasn't Kashiwagi.
469
00:42:26,433 --> 00:42:32,099
That put an end to Kambara's theory.
470
00:42:34,241 --> 00:42:40,374
But why would Kambara come up
with such a transparent story?
471
00:42:41,482 --> 00:42:46,283
That made me even more suspicious that
Kambara was somehow involved.
472
00:43:10,811 --> 00:43:12,074
Hey.
473
00:43:13,347 --> 00:43:15,475
That boy isn't from our school, is he?
474
00:43:17,885 --> 00:43:20,081
He hasn't moved from that spot.
475
00:43:21,388 --> 00:43:23,880
Probably a good friend of Kashiwagi's.
476
00:43:31,899 --> 00:43:35,836
Do you know why Kashiwagi died?
477
00:43:36,303 --> 00:43:40,297
No, I haven't seen him since primary school.
478
00:43:41,108 --> 00:43:44,373
Not until I saw that TV program.
479
00:44:16,043 --> 00:44:20,776
It's time for the final rehearsal.
Let's head to the gym.
480
00:44:24,818 --> 00:44:26,217
I'll meet you there.
481
00:44:54,715 --> 00:44:58,242
I have a question for you, Kambara.
482
00:45:00,988 --> 00:45:03,423
What is it? You look very serious.
483
00:45:07,394 --> 00:45:11,388
You came to Kashiwagi's funeral.
484
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:19,463
But you lied by saying
you learned of his death from the TV.
485
00:45:22,042 --> 00:45:23,305
Why did you lie?
486
00:45:47,801 --> 00:45:51,169
What are you really up to?
487
00:45:55,075 --> 00:45:56,338
Answer me.
488
00:46:05,352 --> 00:46:08,811
It's too early to say anything.
489
00:46:11,058 --> 00:46:14,050
So you admit that you're hiding something?
490
00:46:16,697 --> 00:46:20,463
But I will never hide from this trial.
491
00:46:22,836 --> 00:46:24,964
I want you to believe that.
492
00:46:57,204 --> 00:47:02,267
August 151991,
the anniversary of the end of World War II.
493
00:47:02,442 --> 00:47:06,003
The day our trial began.
494
00:47:09,950 --> 00:47:13,909
Good morning, that way please.
495
00:47:16,223 --> 00:47:23,459
August 15, 1991 School Trial - Day 1
496
00:47:39,046 --> 00:47:42,983
"It is prohibited to use difficult legal terms."
497
00:47:45,852 --> 00:47:49,152
The judge is entering. All please rise.
498
00:47:56,230 --> 00:47:58,198
Good morning, everyone.
499
00:47:59,099 --> 00:48:02,000
You look cool, Inoue!
500
00:48:02,102 --> 00:48:03,365
Please be seated.
501
00:48:03,870 --> 00:48:06,965
With that cape, do we get a magic show?
502
00:48:08,408 --> 00:48:10,206
Silence.
503
00:48:10,344 --> 00:48:13,439
Judge, can I go take a leak?
504
00:48:13,547 --> 00:48:14,844
NO, hold it!
505
00:48:14,982 --> 00:48:16,848
The comedy show begins!
506
00:48:16,984 --> 00:48:18,975
Silence, please.
507
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:21,383
- Be seated.
- Silence.
508
00:48:21,488 --> 00:48:22,887
Silence, please.
509
00:48:24,858 --> 00:48:26,292
You show 'em, judge!
510
00:48:28,495 --> 00:48:31,487
These kids have worked hard
organizing this trial.
511
00:48:34,534 --> 00:48:39,938
To find out why our Matsuko and
Kashiwagi had to die.
512
00:48:40,874 --> 00:48:43,536
They're determined to reveal the truth.
513
00:48:45,545 --> 00:48:47,809
So let them get on with it.
514
00:48:48,915 --> 00:48:50,405
If you please!
515
00:48:53,453 --> 00:48:55,012
Everyone sit.
516
00:48:57,124 --> 00:48:58,489
Thank you, sir.
517
00:49:13,974 --> 00:49:17,274
August 16, 1991 School Trial - Day 1
It was you who called the police Mr Tsuzaki?
518
00:49:19,313 --> 00:49:25,150
Judge Please note that this
court is not an actual trial.
519
00:49:25,886 --> 00:49:31,791
Even if we find anyone guilty,
there will be no punishment.
520
00:49:33,060 --> 00:49:38,362
You may ask why have
we gone to all this trouble?
521
00:49:38,899 --> 00:49:44,201
Our motives and purpose will become
clear as the trial progresses.
522
00:49:44,371 --> 00:49:46,305
Inoue, do I record this?
523
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,341
Call me Judge.
No, not until we actually start.
524
00:49:50,444 --> 00:49:51,775
I made a mistake.
525
00:49:52,846 --> 00:49:54,712
This hearing will last 5 days.
526
00:49:54,881 --> 00:50:01,014
The prosecution and defense will battle it
out to reveal the truth.
527
00:50:02,889 --> 00:50:04,152
This court is now in session.
528
00:50:10,163 --> 00:50:13,997
The first witness was Detective Sasaki.
529
00:50:14,101 --> 00:50:18,038
From the start,
she said Kashiwagi's death was suicide.
530
00:50:19,740 --> 00:50:21,299
Please be seated.
531
00:50:22,275 --> 00:50:25,210
Defense counsel,
begin your direct examination.
532
00:50:28,949 --> 00:50:32,214
My name is Kambara.
I am the defense lawyer.
533
00:50:35,822 --> 00:50:38,086
I shall begin my questions.
534
00:50:38,225 --> 00:50:39,488
Ready.
535
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:46,026
I believe you're fully aware of
Oide's long list of behavioral problems.
536
00:50:46,833 --> 00:50:50,997
Yes, I have arrested and
admonished him repeatedly.
537
00:50:52,072 --> 00:50:55,940
He affectionately calls me the "Gold Hag".
538
00:51:05,419 --> 00:51:10,220
Do you think Oide is involved
in this current case?
539
00:51:11,425 --> 00:51:12,790
No, I don't.
540
00:51:13,727 --> 00:51:17,220
Oide's crimes are generally
much less complicated.
541
00:51:18,198 --> 00:51:22,294
When angry, he lashes out.
If he wants something, he takes it.
542
00:51:23,136 --> 00:51:29,007
He simply hasn't the patience to
maintain a month-long vendetta.
543
00:51:29,309 --> 00:51:33,268
Especially after a trifling fight at school.
544
00:51:37,884 --> 00:51:39,784
Let me move on.
545
00:51:40,153 --> 00:51:43,851
The door to the school rooftop is
usually locked.
546
00:51:44,524 --> 00:51:46,788
However...
547
00:51:51,364 --> 00:51:52,456
However...
548
00:51:52,966 --> 00:51:54,263
What's wrong, Fujino?
549
00:51:54,868 --> 00:51:58,031
Janitorial Custodian. Relax.
550
00:51:58,872 --> 00:52:00,271
Thank you.
551
00:52:02,509 --> 00:52:04,375
Hang in there, Fujino!
552
00:52:04,978 --> 00:52:08,471
The key was locked in
the Janitorial Custodian's office.
553
00:52:09,149 --> 00:52:12,779
How do you think
Kashiwagi opened the door?
554
00:52:13,787 --> 00:52:16,848
I guess he used some tool,
like a screwdriver.
555
00:52:17,257 --> 00:52:19,988
The padlock is a very simple type.
556
00:52:20,193 --> 00:52:22,093
Did you find that screwdriver?
557
00:52:22,195 --> 00:52:25,324
No, it was not found on the rooftop.
558
00:52:26,032 --> 00:52:30,265
If it wasn't found there,
was it on Kashiwagi's body?
559
00:52:30,904 --> 00:52:32,998
No, it was not among his belongings.
560
00:52:33,406 --> 00:52:40,142
Isn't it possible that someone else,
perhaps Oide, opened that door?
561
00:52:40,814 --> 00:52:44,182
But Oide and his gang were never there.
562
00:52:44,317 --> 00:52:47,184
Did you question Oide and the other two?
563
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,254
Yes, we did.
564
00:52:50,023 --> 00:52:52,492
Could Oide have lied to you?
565
00:52:53,293 --> 00:52:56,888
Oide and I have developed
a trust between us.
566
00:52:57,330 --> 00:53:02,291
You never suspected Oide,
so you never confirmed his alibi?
567
00:53:02,936 --> 00:53:04,700
Isn't that correct?
568
00:53:07,274 --> 00:53:10,141
Correct, we did not investigate that.
569
00:53:13,413 --> 00:53:16,110
That's all for my cross examination.
570
00:53:23,056 --> 00:53:24,148
Thank you.
571
00:53:28,795 --> 00:53:32,925
August 16, 1991 School Trial - Day 2
It was you who called the police Mr.Tsuzaki?
572
00:53:33,066 --> 00:53:34,500
Yes, I did.
573
00:53:35,101 --> 00:53:37,195
Later that day...
574
00:53:37,337 --> 00:53:42,776
the police informed you his death
was most likely suicide, correct?
575
00:53:43,243 --> 00:53:44,369
Yes, they did.
576
00:53:45,011 --> 00:53:46,979
What did you think, sir?
577
00:53:47,847 --> 00:53:49,781
I also assumed it was suicide.
578
00:53:49,950 --> 00:53:52,112
Can you explain why?
579
00:53:53,253 --> 00:53:57,212
Kashiwagi had been
absent for an extended period.
580
00:53:58,058 --> 00:54:01,858
Did you try to persuade him
to return to school?
581
00:54:02,295 --> 00:54:03,456
Yes, I did.
582
00:54:04,397 --> 00:54:08,095
But he wasn't receptive.
583
00:54:08,935 --> 00:54:11,461
Especially just prior to his death.
584
00:54:12,072 --> 00:54:17,340
He said no matter how many times
we asked, he'd never return.
585
00:54:18,478 --> 00:54:21,379
Kashiwagi himself said that to you?
586
00:54:21,815 --> 00:54:23,112
Yes, he did.
587
00:54:25,085 --> 00:54:29,488
He was distant,
like he'd lost the passion to live.
588
00:54:29,923 --> 00:54:32,415
As if he was in despair about his life.
589
00:54:35,829 --> 00:54:37,490
Thank you very much, sir.
590
00:54:39,199 --> 00:54:43,534
You hid the letter of accusation and
you lied to the students.
591
00:54:43,870 --> 00:54:46,931
Was that a cover-up, to protect the school?
592
00:54:47,807 --> 00:54:49,866
Was there a cover-up?
593
00:54:50,310 --> 00:54:52,039
Not at all.
594
00:54:52,345 --> 00:54:57,112
We were trying to protect our students,
not the school's reputation.
595
00:54:57,283 --> 00:55:00,412
But your cover-up led to the death of Matsuko.
596
00:55:01,388 --> 00:55:03,982
You call that protecting your students?
597
00:55:08,795 --> 00:55:11,765
No, you're right.
598
00:55:13,733 --> 00:55:19,137
My lack of foresight caused
the death of an innocent student.
599
00:55:19,939 --> 00:55:24,274
And I was responsible for the damage
to our entire student body.
600
00:55:28,214 --> 00:55:30,376
Mr Tsuzaki made some bad judgments.
601
00:55:30,750 --> 00:55:35,483
Especially his fatal mistake of
dealing with the press.
602
00:55:36,256 --> 00:55:37,849
But still...
603
00:55:41,227 --> 00:55:42,422
Ryoko?
604
00:55:45,999 --> 00:55:49,025
What about the other teachers
who did nothing?
605
00:55:49,736 --> 00:55:53,866
At least Mr Tsuzaki tried to protect us.
606
00:55:55,008 --> 00:56:00,037
He took full responsibility for
his mistakes by resigning as principal.
607
00:56:05,285 --> 00:56:10,280
He'd talk to any student, anytime.
And he always spoke to us as equals.
608
00:56:10,757 --> 00:56:15,422
Every single student here knows that.
609
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,392
Thank you for all your efforts, sir.
610
00:57:08,948 --> 00:57:10,416
Well done, sir.
611
00:57:10,850 --> 00:57:11,942
Not at all.
612
00:57:13,153 --> 00:57:15,019
Are you heading home now?
613
00:57:15,989 --> 00:57:20,085
I wanted time off,
but my superiors insist I return to duty.
614
00:57:20,326 --> 00:57:21,987
You have my sympathies.
615
00:57:23,997 --> 00:57:27,023
Did you hear about
the attack on Miss Moriuchi?
616
00:57:27,534 --> 00:57:31,129
Yes, I visited her in hospital.
617
00:57:32,906 --> 00:57:40,211
I'm sorry the entire responsibility for
this incident fell on you and Miss Moriuchi.
618
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,871
No need for that.
619
00:57:47,387 --> 00:57:52,120
It wasn't a lie that
I did my best to protect the students.
620
00:57:53,459 --> 00:57:59,364
But the way I tried to deal with
it didn't work out too well.
621
00:58:00,500 --> 00:58:02,935
Two students ended up dead.
622
00:58:04,971 --> 00:58:09,772
There's no excuse for that and
I don't expect forgiveness.
623
00:58:15,782 --> 00:58:17,978
I'd better be heading back in.
624
00:58:19,319 --> 00:58:21,185
But still...
625
00:58:24,390 --> 00:58:28,850
The students know what you tried to do.
626
00:58:30,063 --> 00:58:35,524
I'll never forget the integrity
you displayed during this entire process.
627
00:58:38,137 --> 00:58:42,370
I hope you get a new job as soon as possible.
628
00:59:07,901 --> 00:59:14,136
The second witness was Miss Moriuchi,
2A's homeroom teacher.
629
00:59:19,245 --> 00:59:25,981
The insane hatred of Minae Kakiuchi
led to her stealing our teacher's mail.
630
00:59:26,352 --> 00:59:29,811
And the devastating attack on Miss Moriuchi.
631
00:59:33,793 --> 00:59:37,957
We can never forgive
Mrs Kakiuchi for what she did.
632
00:59:39,265 --> 00:59:44,169
But do we have the right to condemn her?
633
00:59:45,772 --> 00:59:47,262
Please remember.
634
00:59:48,441 --> 00:59:53,936
Miss Moriuchi insisted
she'd never thrown away the letter.
635
00:59:54,047 --> 00:59:56,072
Everyone called her a liar.
636
00:59:58,785 --> 01:00:00,378
I did, too.
637
01:00:02,155 --> 01:00:05,250
Now, I apologize from
the bottom of my heart.
638
01:00:07,226 --> 01:00:09,160
I am so very sorry.
639
01:00:12,131 --> 01:00:18,434
As his homeroom teacher,
what was your impression of Kashiwagi?
640
01:00:21,441 --> 01:00:23,273
It was my first time.
641
01:00:24,143 --> 01:00:28,944
My first assignment as homeroom
teacher in my 2nd year of teaching.
642
01:00:30,750 --> 01:00:34,516
I always worried about how
I appeared to my students.
643
01:00:37,223 --> 01:00:39,885
I tried be loyal to them.
644
01:00:40,793 --> 01:00:43,262
I thought I managed that reasonably well.
645
01:00:44,297 --> 01:00:51,931
But it felt as if Kashiwagi could
see through my shallow charade.
646
01:00:54,741 --> 01:01:00,077
Was Kashiwagi a difficult student?
Hard to handle?
647
01:01:02,849 --> 01:01:04,044
Yes, he was.
648
01:01:06,753 --> 01:01:10,883
So I regarded him as a difficult student.
649
01:01:11,424 --> 01:01:14,450
I stopped myself from getting too involved.
650
01:01:15,762 --> 01:01:19,824
I couldn't understand him,
so I was afraid of him.
651
01:01:21,501 --> 01:01:26,530
How did you feel
when you heard Kashiwagi had been found dead?
652
01:01:33,279 --> 01:01:34,872
I was shocked.
653
01:01:38,051 --> 01:01:39,109
But...
654
01:01:40,186 --> 01:01:43,383
At the same time, a sense of relief.
655
01:01:45,124 --> 01:01:50,085
I knew I no longer had to squirm under
his unrelenting stare.
656
01:02:03,876 --> 01:02:09,110
I was not ready for such
pressure from my students.
657
01:02:10,483 --> 01:02:14,852
That's why I'm here today,
to apologize to them.
658
01:02:18,791 --> 01:02:20,919
I'm so very sorry.
659
01:02:28,968 --> 01:02:31,960
I have no plans to ever return to teaching.
660
01:02:33,005 --> 01:02:38,808
But I thank 2A students for giving me
this chance to set the record straight.
661
01:02:47,854 --> 01:02:52,257
School Trial Court
662
01:03:07,206 --> 01:03:08,332
Emiko?
663
01:03:09,375 --> 01:03:10,843
I'm okay.
664
01:03:34,433 --> 01:03:36,401
Sorry to turn up so suddenly.
665
01:03:37,036 --> 01:03:41,166
But Mrs Kakiuchi wants to apologize
before surrendering to the police.
666
01:03:41,741 --> 01:03:43,004
Go on.
667
01:03:52,018 --> 01:03:55,852
After what I did to you...
668
01:03:57,823 --> 01:04:02,784
I became so afraid I wanted to kill myself,
but I couldn't.
669
01:04:06,199 --> 01:04:12,104
I am so sorry for ruining your life.
670
01:04:17,777 --> 01:04:19,836
I am so sorry...
671
01:04:23,449 --> 01:04:26,282
Let the police do their job.
672
01:04:55,815 --> 01:05:02,881
August 17, 1991 School Trial - Day 3
673
01:05:05,691 --> 01:05:12,188
Juri was the 3rd days witness.
Like Oide, she was a key to the trial.
674
01:05:16,802 --> 01:05:20,500
Why can't I? I'm supposed to be on trial.
675
01:05:21,274 --> 01:05:24,335
It's only while Juri is testifying, that's all.
676
01:05:24,477 --> 01:05:28,937
I never agreed to this.
It's your decision, not mine!
677
01:05:29,982 --> 01:05:31,416
You can't control yourself.
678
01:05:34,353 --> 01:05:38,051
If Juri feels threatened,
she'll refuse to testify.
679
01:05:38,991 --> 01:05:43,019
So the judge has barred you from the court.
680
01:05:53,939 --> 01:05:56,806
Please repeat after me.
681
01:05:57,476 --> 01:05:59,968
I, Juri Miyake.
682
01:06:00,980 --> 01:06:03,142
I, Juri Miyake.
683
01:06:03,416 --> 01:06:07,114
"Swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
684
01:06:08,220 --> 01:06:12,123
The truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
685
01:06:13,826 --> 01:06:15,191
Please be seated.
686
01:06:19,699 --> 01:06:22,259
Begin your examination.
687
01:06:29,408 --> 01:06:35,245
Miss Juri Miyake,
thank you for cooperating with this court.
688
01:06:40,019 --> 01:06:45,287
I'll do my best not to upset
you with my questions.
689
01:06:46,292 --> 01:06:50,058
But please be aware some questions
may be difficult.
690
01:06:51,297 --> 01:06:54,528
If at any time you need a break,
please say so.
691
01:06:56,202 --> 01:06:58,364
I won't need a break.
692
01:06:59,205 --> 01:07:00,832
But...
693
01:07:03,943 --> 01:07:07,208
I don't like everyone staring at me like this.
694
01:07:08,114 --> 01:07:11,448
I'm not on show here.
695
01:07:13,018 --> 01:07:14,850
So where are we supposed to look?
696
01:07:23,829 --> 01:07:26,821
Rest assured, no one here thinks that.
697
01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:31,095
Please feel safe as you testify.
698
01:07:33,973 --> 01:07:39,070
Sorry, I'm just don't want to look like a fool.
699
01:07:40,413 --> 01:07:44,907
We're all impressed by your courage
in appearing here today.
700
01:07:53,259 --> 01:07:56,285
On Christmas Eve, December 24th, last year.
701
01:07:57,329 --> 01:08:00,822
Tell us what happened that day.
702
01:08:01,934 --> 01:08:02,992
Okay.
703
01:08:05,037 --> 01:08:08,439
That evening, did you go out at all?
704
01:08:13,112 --> 01:08:14,341
Miss Miyake?
705
01:08:16,916 --> 01:08:21,376
No, I didn't go out.
706
01:08:24,790 --> 01:08:27,088
I was at home all day.
707
01:08:28,494 --> 01:08:35,161
I didn't witness the murder,
but Matsuko did.
708
01:08:38,904 --> 01:08:44,502
That evening, about 11 pm,
Matsuko went to a convenience store.
709
01:08:45,177 --> 01:08:49,444
She saw Kashiwagi, in tears,
being dragged out by Oide and his gang.
710
01:08:50,082 --> 01:08:53,848
She followed them up to
the roof of the school.
711
01:08:55,488 --> 01:08:59,391
Then Matsuko, alone,
wrote those letters of accusation.
712
01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:04,255
She asked me to go with her to post them.
713
01:09:05,898 --> 01:09:08,128
That's all I did.
714
01:09:16,775 --> 01:09:20,006
If you don't believe me,
ask Matsuko - if you can.
715
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:24,882
How dare you say that?
716
01:09:24,950 --> 01:09:26,509
Hold back, Mariko.
717
01:09:30,789 --> 01:09:32,154
Please be seated.
718
01:09:32,258 --> 01:09:33,851
Please sit down.
719
01:09:35,127 --> 01:09:36,253
Order in the court.
720
01:09:38,130 --> 01:09:39,427
Miss Miyake.
721
01:09:43,969 --> 01:09:46,939
Please tell us the truth.
722
01:09:53,746 --> 01:09:56,113
That was the truth.
723
01:10:11,063 --> 01:10:16,092
So you didn't see Oide throw
Kashiwagi off the rooftop?
724
01:10:17,469 --> 01:10:21,235
You merely heard it from Matsuko Asai.
725
01:10:24,343 --> 01:10:26,334
Is that correct?
726
01:10:31,817 --> 01:10:33,114
YES.
727
01:10:33,953 --> 01:10:36,820
I didn't witness anything.
728
01:10:41,961 --> 01:10:43,929
That ends my questioning of the witness.
729
01:10:48,934 --> 01:10:52,495
Defense Counsel,
begin your cross-examination.
730
01:10:56,408 --> 01:10:59,867
I'm Kambara, Oide's defense lawyer.
731
01:11:00,746 --> 01:11:02,771
I've nothing more to say.
732
01:11:04,283 --> 01:11:06,115
I already told you everything.
733
01:11:14,093 --> 01:11:15,185
Coward!
734
01:11:15,294 --> 01:11:16,489
Don't leave now!
735
01:11:16,962 --> 01:11:19,795
Silence! Silence, please.
736
01:11:20,032 --> 01:11:21,363
No, don't.
737
01:11:27,506 --> 01:11:30,407
Silence! Silence, please!
738
01:11:37,816 --> 01:11:45,223
August 18, 1991 School Trial - Day 4
739
01:11:45,824 --> 01:11:49,419
We gave up any hope of
the arsonist testifying.
740
01:11:49,528 --> 01:11:52,156
But my detective father fixed that.
741
01:11:52,264 --> 01:11:57,031
He convinced the arsonist's lawyer
to testify in his place.
742
01:12:02,007 --> 01:12:04,840
I am Tsutomu Konno, a defense lawyer.
743
01:12:04,910 --> 01:12:09,780
My client is accused of setting fire
to the Oide home.
744
01:12:10,382 --> 01:12:14,114
Last Christmas Eve...
745
01:12:14,787 --> 01:12:19,281
He attended a meeting at the Oide home
to plan an insurance scam.
746
01:12:19,391 --> 01:12:25,819
My client says these discussions
took place from 9 pm to 2 am.
747
01:12:27,232 --> 01:12:31,396
Did your client actually see
Oide during that time?
748
01:12:32,104 --> 01:12:35,199
Yes, he says he did.
749
01:12:36,008 --> 01:12:38,204
What time was that?
750
01:12:38,844 --> 01:12:43,111
There was a TV in the kitchen playing
the NHK News.
751
01:12:43,348 --> 01:12:48,013
The onscreen clock showed
just after midnight.
752
01:12:48,821 --> 01:12:52,155
That confirms my alibi, doesn't it?
753
01:12:52,825 --> 01:12:54,259
Perhaps.
754
01:12:57,129 --> 01:13:00,759
Did your client exchange words with Oide?
755
01:13:01,333 --> 01:13:07,363
My client did say good evening,
but he was sulky and didn't reply.
756
01:13:08,107 --> 01:13:10,269
But they met, no mistake?
757
01:13:12,111 --> 01:13:14,773
No, none at all.
758
01:13:15,781 --> 01:13:17,010
Right on!
759
01:13:22,321 --> 01:13:23,482
Thank you.
760
01:13:27,459 --> 01:13:29,120
Thank you very much, sir.
761
01:13:30,796 --> 01:13:32,321
That ends my examination.
762
01:13:56,321 --> 01:14:01,282
Questioning of the suspect,
Oide, began that afternoon.
763
01:14:02,928 --> 01:14:08,230
In a gym, full of students
who had been bullied by him.
764
01:14:08,500 --> 01:14:12,368
It was a very strange atmosphere.
765
01:14:21,180 --> 01:14:23,148
Silence.
766
01:14:24,383 --> 01:14:26,784
Defense counsel, continue your examination.
767
01:14:26,952 --> 01:14:27,851
Yes, sir.
768
01:14:29,021 --> 01:14:32,753
Do you remember meeting
the arsonist that night?
769
01:14:33,091 --> 01:14:36,857
Nah, if I did, I would said so.
770
01:14:37,129 --> 01:14:38,392
Be serious!
771
01:14:38,530 --> 01:14:39,861
Get real!
772
01:14:40,065 --> 01:14:42,932
I see. Let me ask another question.
773
01:14:43,368 --> 01:14:47,771
Last year, on Christmas Eve,
were you on the school roof?
774
01:14:48,373 --> 01:14:49,898
Nah, wasn't me.
775
01:14:50,409 --> 01:14:53,743
Did you meet up with
Yutaro Hashida and Mitsuru Iguchi?
776
01:14:53,846 --> 01:14:55,712
- I don't know.
- I can't hear you!
777
01:14:55,881 --> 01:14:58,213
How should I know what they did?
778
01:14:58,750 --> 01:15:00,411
- So no meeting?
- I said no!
779
01:15:01,220 --> 01:15:04,679
That lawyer dude just proved
I didn't kill Kashiwagi.
780
01:15:04,857 --> 01:15:06,086
Watch your mouth!
781
01:15:06,191 --> 01:15:06,987
You jerk!
782
01:15:09,328 --> 01:15:11,194
Silence, please.
783
01:15:13,932 --> 01:15:18,199
Until the jury returns its verdict,
you are neither guilty, nor innocent.
784
01:15:18,503 --> 01:15:20,403
Please bear that in mind.
785
01:15:22,441 --> 01:15:24,876
I'll beat you up after this ends.
786
01:15:28,146 --> 01:15:30,444
Defense Counsel, please continue.
787
01:15:33,452 --> 01:15:36,353
Did you kill Takuya Kashiwagi?
788
01:15:36,455 --> 01:15:37,820
No, I didn't.
789
01:15:37,923 --> 01:15:39,015
You did!
790
01:15:39,124 --> 01:15:41,889
- Tell the truth!
- You killed him.
791
01:15:43,862 --> 01:15:49,062
But you're here accused of killing Kashiwagi.
792
01:15:50,068 --> 01:15:51,866
Please explain why.
793
01:15:52,137 --> 01:15:54,936
It's obvious. Those lying letters.
794
01:15:55,107 --> 01:15:59,169
So you maintain you have been
unfairly and falsely accused?
795
01:15:59,344 --> 01:16:03,008
I said that from the start. I was framed.
796
01:16:03,882 --> 01:16:06,044
Why would anyone want to frame you?
797
01:16:06,151 --> 01:16:07,380
Why?
798
01:16:07,753 --> 01:16:13,954
I'm asking why would
someone write letters to frame you?
799
01:16:14,059 --> 01:16:18,121
How should I know?
Go arrest them and ask them.
800
01:16:18,463 --> 01:16:19,828
What about you?!
801
01:16:19,932 --> 01:16:21,127
Show some respect!
802
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,230
I'm asking for your opinion.
803
01:16:24,836 --> 01:16:28,329
Why would anyone want to frame you?
804
01:16:28,874 --> 01:16:29,966
He did it!
805
01:16:30,075 --> 01:16:31,406
We want answers!
806
01:16:33,078 --> 01:16:34,773
Silence!
807
01:16:37,182 --> 01:16:39,742
Let's move on to other questions.
808
01:16:40,852 --> 01:16:44,880
There are many,
so please answer with a simple yes, or no.
809
01:16:45,490 --> 01:16:47,458
Yes, or no will do.
810
01:16:50,929 --> 01:16:56,390
You entered
Joto 3 Junior High 2 years ago in April.
811
01:16:58,170 --> 01:17:01,162
Did you ever smoke cigarettes
behind the gym?
812
01:17:02,774 --> 01:17:04,299
I saw you smoking!
813
01:17:05,243 --> 01:17:08,440
That's nothing to do with this trial.
814
01:17:08,747 --> 01:17:10,408
Please answer with a yes, or a no.
815
01:17:11,149 --> 01:17:13,083
Yes, or no?
816
01:17:13,218 --> 01:17:14,879
- No.
- Liar!
817
01:17:15,020 --> 01:17:16,078
Tell the truth!
818
01:17:18,256 --> 01:17:20,247
That same year, in June.
819
01:17:20,359 --> 01:17:24,796
Did you kick a girl's school bag
and then stamp on her back?
820
01:17:24,930 --> 01:17:26,022
What's your problem, jerk?
821
01:17:27,232 --> 01:17:29,462
Yes, or no?
822
01:17:29,801 --> 01:17:31,064
Who the hell said I did?
823
01:17:31,136 --> 01:17:34,231
That's not the question. Is it true, or not?
824
01:17:34,373 --> 01:17:35,431
Please answer.
825
01:17:35,774 --> 01:17:37,970
And I asked who's accusing me?
826
01:17:38,210 --> 01:17:42,238
You remember that assault?
Then answer yes.
827
01:17:46,485 --> 01:17:47,509
Silence!
828
01:17:49,054 --> 01:17:51,079
What's going on here?
829
01:17:51,189 --> 01:17:55,251
In July, did you strike a classmate
with an umbrella?
830
01:17:56,094 --> 01:17:59,257
Did you threaten him for "blocking your way."
831
01:17:59,364 --> 01:18:01,059
I can't remember everything.
832
01:18:01,333 --> 01:18:04,200
Here's a list of accusations.
833
01:18:04,469 --> 01:18:08,531
Please answer yes, or no. Are we clear?
834
01:18:09,474 --> 01:18:10,532
Sure.
835
01:18:13,812 --> 01:18:18,079
Did you take a boy into the toilets
and beat him up?
836
01:18:18,183 --> 01:18:22,142
Did you order him to lick the floor clean?
837
01:18:23,989 --> 01:18:26,117
Yes, or no?
838
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,185
After you were arrested...
839
01:18:30,295 --> 01:18:35,233
Did your father make a financial settlement
with the boy's parents?
840
01:18:35,367 --> 01:18:36,926
What the hell is this?
841
01:18:37,035 --> 01:18:39,834
Hey, Judge. Shut this jerk up.
842
01:18:42,340 --> 01:18:43,899
Silence!
843
01:18:44,109 --> 01:18:48,876
Did you say "Your pimply face
makes me sick. Don't come to school."
844
01:18:49,281 --> 01:18:51,841
Have you ever called a schoolmate "a pig?"
845
01:18:51,983 --> 01:18:55,715
Did you break something belonging
to a girl you called "a pig?"
846
01:18:56,188 --> 01:19:00,455
Did you stamp on her face
and call her "a monster?"
847
01:19:05,263 --> 01:19:06,355
Juri?
848
01:19:10,502 --> 01:19:13,369
Are those things I listed actual facts?
849
01:19:14,372 --> 01:19:15,806
Please answer me.
850
01:19:19,444 --> 01:19:23,210
I am asking you a question,
Oide. Answer me.
851
01:19:26,418 --> 01:19:27,977
I didn't kill Kashiwagi.
852
01:19:28,053 --> 01:19:29,020
That's not the question.
853
01:19:29,221 --> 01:19:30,245
I didn't kill him!
854
01:19:30,388 --> 01:19:32,049
That's not what I asked.
855
01:19:36,761 --> 01:19:38,820
When you were bullied at home...
856
01:19:38,964 --> 01:19:43,265
Did it feel good to take it out
on someone weaker than you?
857
01:19:43,401 --> 01:19:47,770
When you knocked down a fellow student,
did you feel strong and powerful?
858
01:19:52,978 --> 01:19:55,003
We were just fooling around.
859
01:19:56,014 --> 01:19:57,982
So these accusations are true?
860
01:20:03,155 --> 01:20:05,021
The answer is yes, isn't it?
861
01:20:11,763 --> 01:20:12,889
YES.
862
01:20:16,902 --> 01:20:22,898
Did any of the students you attacked
enjoy your fooling around?
863
01:20:24,209 --> 01:20:26,974
Did any of them beg you to stop?
864
01:20:27,312 --> 01:20:29,940
Did any cry in pain, or humiliation?
865
01:20:31,349 --> 01:20:36,185
Have you ever considered the feelings
of those you lashed out at?
866
01:20:37,422 --> 01:20:40,414
How much pain those
you bullied had to suffer?
867
01:20:42,060 --> 01:20:44,825
Did you ever once even think about them?
868
01:20:52,404 --> 01:20:54,930
I'm quite sure someone did try to frame you.
869
01:20:55,807 --> 01:21:01,075
You didn't kill Kashiwagi,
but there were false accusations.
870
01:21:03,181 --> 01:21:06,412
I do not condone that attempt to frame you.
871
01:21:08,086 --> 01:21:15,391
But what if the person who wrote
the letters was a victim of your bullying?
872
01:21:19,164 --> 01:21:21,394
I can understand how that person felt.
873
01:21:24,069 --> 01:21:28,267
Venting her rage in letters was
the one thing that kept her alive.
874
01:21:32,244 --> 01:21:35,111
That was her lifeline.
875
01:21:39,117 --> 01:21:42,451
A plea from the depths of her tormented soul.
876
01:21:45,824 --> 01:21:47,258
Come on Juri, let's leave.
877
01:21:50,061 --> 01:21:51,324
I'm okay.
878
01:21:54,199 --> 01:21:57,032
Imagine the pain and torment you caused.
879
01:22:02,841 --> 01:22:04,935
You wounded her very soul.
880
01:22:11,349 --> 01:22:13,443
Juri!
881
01:22:20,158 --> 01:22:21,319
The nurse's office.
882
01:22:21,426 --> 01:22:22,825
Sure.
883
01:22:25,196 --> 01:22:27,324
Please, clear a path.
884
01:22:30,869 --> 01:22:33,133
Silence!
885
01:22:33,905 --> 01:22:35,999
Everyone, be seated.
886
01:23:06,071 --> 01:23:07,232
Excuse me.
887
01:23:15,013 --> 01:23:16,503
What do you want?
888
01:23:18,116 --> 01:23:19,743
Is she any better?
889
01:23:22,220 --> 01:23:25,918
She's fine. Thanks for asking.
890
01:23:29,494 --> 01:23:30,962
Mom.
891
01:23:34,065 --> 01:23:37,763
Leave me alone with Fujino.
892
01:23:45,243 --> 01:23:46,768
Please.
893
01:23:55,987 --> 01:23:59,218
If there's any trouble, I'll be right outside.
894
01:24:16,841 --> 01:24:19,242
Are you alright?
895
01:24:24,082 --> 01:24:26,141
Why did he attack him?
896
01:24:29,087 --> 01:24:31,988
He's supposed to be Oide's defense lawyer.
897
01:24:32,090 --> 01:24:33,216
Why?
898
01:24:36,261 --> 01:24:42,200
To me, it seems like he was doing
his best to cover for you.
899
01:24:42,333 --> 01:24:44,062
But what for?
900
01:24:44,169 --> 01:24:47,833
Why would he stick up for me?
901
01:24:48,206 --> 01:24:49,867
I think...
902
01:24:52,911 --> 01:24:54,936
Kambara was trying to save you.
903
01:24:55,246 --> 01:24:57,010
Save me?
904
01:24:57,315 --> 01:25:00,307
I never asked him to.
905
01:25:04,856 --> 01:25:08,952
Why do I have to let him protect me?
906
01:25:09,227 --> 01:25:11,025
I don't get it, either.
907
01:25:12,697 --> 01:25:18,227
But when the verdict comes in tomorrow,
and everything becomes clear...
908
01:25:18,837 --> 01:25:20,862
We may get some explanation.
909
01:25:21,039 --> 01:25:22,871
I'm sick of your stupid trial!
910
01:25:24,108 --> 01:25:25,507
Listen Juri.
911
01:25:26,978 --> 01:25:32,382
This trial is not about hurting you.
912
01:25:35,186 --> 01:25:38,156
Please show some faith in us.
913
01:25:40,225 --> 01:25:42,250
Make sure you come tomorrow.
914
01:25:44,128 --> 01:25:47,359
I will be here to protect you.
915
01:25:49,033 --> 01:25:51,297
You can't do that.
916
01:25:51,936 --> 01:25:56,271
No one ever stands up for me.
917
01:26:24,769 --> 01:26:30,037
If you were at home, you couldn't know
what happened up on the roof, could you?
918
01:26:30,208 --> 01:26:31,437
Of course not.
919
01:26:34,078 --> 01:26:36,740
I didn't see anything.
920
01:26:37,048 --> 01:26:40,780
And you're my accomplice.
You're just as guilty as I am.
921
01:26:41,019 --> 01:26:43,386
You can't plead innocent now.
922
01:26:45,456 --> 01:26:47,447
That's unfair, Juri.
923
01:26:47,959 --> 01:26:50,223
No, you're just stupid for helping me.
924
01:26:51,763 --> 01:26:53,288
Let's go apologize to Oide.
925
01:26:53,398 --> 01:26:55,127
Are you crazy'?
926
01:26:55,233 --> 01:26:57,201
But he didn't kill Kashiwagi.
927
01:26:57,335 --> 01:26:59,895
Because of us, everyone thinks he did.
928
01:27:00,004 --> 01:27:02,200
You want me to go and say sorry?
929
01:27:02,307 --> 01:27:04,207
Then he'll really kill us.
930
01:27:05,343 --> 01:27:09,007
His gang are evil, but what we did is worse.
931
01:27:09,147 --> 01:27:11,115
Have you forgotten what they did to us?
932
01:27:13,318 --> 01:27:17,516
I'll go and tell my mother the truth.
933
01:27:18,823 --> 01:27:22,521
I'm sure she'll say exactly
what I just said to you.
934
01:27:23,461 --> 01:27:26,362
When you do wrong, you must apologize.
935
01:27:26,965 --> 01:27:28,899
You plan to betray me?
936
01:27:33,204 --> 01:27:35,263
You're my friend.
937
01:27:36,874 --> 01:27:40,538
I don't want to hate you.
938
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,420
Matsuko!
939
01:28:17,048 --> 01:28:18,413
Juri?
940
01:28:20,985 --> 01:28:22,146
Matsuko.
941
01:28:23,755 --> 01:28:24,881
Matsuko...
942
01:28:42,273 --> 01:28:43,968
What did you say to her?
943
01:28:45,309 --> 01:28:46,470
Get out.
944
01:28:47,478 --> 01:28:48,809
Leave now.
945
01:28:49,547 --> 01:28:50,946
Come on, move.
946
01:28:52,016 --> 01:28:53,415
See you tomorrow.
947
01:28:56,254 --> 01:28:57,415
Get out.
948
01:29:09,967 --> 01:29:14,905
I'm taking you out of this school
and arranging a transfer.
949
01:29:18,976 --> 01:29:23,004
But I feel better after seeing
Oide exposed like that.
950
01:29:25,349 --> 01:29:26,942
That boy...
951
01:29:28,286 --> 01:29:30,220
That Kambara...
952
01:29:33,825 --> 01:29:35,054
He is...
953
01:29:38,296 --> 01:29:40,424
He's really something, that boy.
954
01:29:41,532 --> 01:29:45,435
He's just pretending to sympathize
with Oide's victims.
955
01:29:56,114 --> 01:30:01,951
I'm the only one who will always protect you.
956
01:30:07,992 --> 01:30:09,255
My Juri.
957
01:30:10,228 --> 01:30:12,026
My poor Juri.
958
01:30:15,333 --> 01:30:17,165
I'm so sorry.
959
01:30:21,005 --> 01:30:23,099
Please forgive me.
960
01:30:45,096 --> 01:30:47,531
Sorry to keep you waiting.
961
01:30:48,432 --> 01:30:50,560
This is Kambara's mother and father.
962
01:30:50,868 --> 01:30:52,495
This is Ryoko Fujino.
963
01:30:54,305 --> 01:30:55,466
Okay, I'd better be going.
964
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:57,069
Thank you.
965
01:30:57,241 --> 01:30:58,970
- Thank you.
- See you.
966
01:31:05,483 --> 01:31:08,714
Apparently you have some questions?
967
01:31:14,859 --> 01:31:16,418
I know this hospital.
968
01:31:18,429 --> 01:31:20,488
The Miyagawa Obstetrics
and Gynecological hospital.
969
01:31:21,098 --> 01:31:24,796
Near where the first call was made from.
970
01:31:26,103 --> 01:31:28,367
That's where Kazuhiko was born.
971
01:31:29,006 --> 01:31:32,465
I rushed to the hospital when Asako had him.
972
01:31:35,079 --> 01:31:37,104
What about the other three locations?
973
01:31:37,381 --> 01:31:39,440
Do you recognize any of them?
974
01:31:52,029 --> 01:31:53,428
Look, dear!
975
01:32:03,875 --> 01:32:07,311
You recognize this area?
976
01:32:13,451 --> 01:32:16,182
Before his mother was murdered...
977
01:32:17,855 --> 01:32:23,817
Kazuhiko and his parents lived in this house.
978
01:32:38,809 --> 01:32:46,114
August 19, 1991 School Trial - Final day
979
01:33:00,932 --> 01:33:03,230
I'm just finishing, sorry.
980
01:33:15,813 --> 01:33:16,939
Ready for this?
981
01:33:20,251 --> 01:33:22,515
If I said I wasn't afraid, I'd be lying.
982
01:33:22,954 --> 01:33:26,083
But I'll see it through to the end,
no matter what.
983
01:33:28,993 --> 01:33:30,392
Listen, Ryoko.
984
01:33:35,766 --> 01:33:39,430
The truth may end up hurting you.
985
01:33:42,373 --> 01:33:46,776
But you'll always have a safe place
to come home to.
986
01:33:56,954 --> 01:33:57,978
Ryoko.
987
01:34:00,091 --> 01:34:03,220
Do your duty as prosecutor right till the end.
988
01:34:04,395 --> 01:34:06,887
I will. Thank you.
989
01:34:06,998 --> 01:34:10,093
Bye bye, Ryoko.
990
01:34:20,011 --> 01:34:21,035
Wish me luck.
991
01:34:21,145 --> 01:34:23,239
- Good luck.
- See You later.
992
01:34:51,742 --> 01:34:54,404
All rise for the judge.
993
01:35:04,789 --> 01:35:06,951
Good morning everyone.
994
01:35:09,827 --> 01:35:11,158
Please be seated.
995
01:35:16,934 --> 01:35:18,459
Members of the jury.
996
01:35:18,903 --> 01:35:24,467
Initially, we were scheduled to hear
both sides' closing arguments today.
997
01:35:24,809 --> 01:35:28,837
Then you were to retire
to consider your verdict.
998
01:35:29,980 --> 01:35:34,281
However, this morning the Prosecutor
approached me with new testimony.
999
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:40,257
Miss Prosecutor,
can you please explain this to the jury?
1000
01:35:40,758 --> 01:35:41,486
Yes, sir.
1001
01:35:46,097 --> 01:35:50,261
New evidence has surfaced
which will greatly affect the outcome.
1002
01:35:50,801 --> 01:35:53,236
Two new witnesses, I believe?
1003
01:35:53,771 --> 01:35:54,431
That is correct.
1004
01:35:54,805 --> 01:35:57,775
This has the name of
the 2nd witness blacked out.
1005
01:35:57,908 --> 01:35:59,433
Can you say why?
1006
01:35:59,910 --> 01:36:04,370
At this moment,
I cannot reveal the name of the witness.
1007
01:36:05,182 --> 01:36:09,449
Then are you able to bring that
witness into this court?
1008
01:36:09,954 --> 01:36:11,149
Yes, sir.
1009
01:36:12,289 --> 01:36:14,849
Any objections from the defense?
1010
01:36:15,192 --> 01:36:16,318
None here, sir.
1011
01:36:20,698 --> 01:36:24,032
In that case,
I shall allow these new witnesses to testify.
1012
01:36:24,768 --> 01:36:26,099
Thank you very much, sir.
1013
01:36:28,005 --> 01:36:29,404
Okay.
1014
01:36:32,276 --> 01:36:34,404
I shall call the first witness.
1015
01:36:48,392 --> 01:36:51,828
Good morning, sir. This way, please.
1016
01:36:56,967 --> 01:36:58,298
Hey there.
1017
01:37:05,476 --> 01:37:07,137
Thank you.
1018
01:37:14,051 --> 01:37:16,850
Thank you for coming today.
1019
01:37:21,125 --> 01:37:23,150
Your name please.
1020
01:37:24,428 --> 01:37:27,420
My name is Shuzo Kobayashi.
1021
01:37:28,065 --> 01:37:34,095
For many years I have run a humble
electronics shop in this area.
1022
01:37:36,507 --> 01:37:39,875
Thank you for your polite introduction.
1023
01:37:47,484 --> 01:37:50,943
Last Christmas Eve, around 7:30 pm.
1024
01:37:51,188 --> 01:37:58,219
You witnessed a boy of our age in
the phone booth opposite your store.
1025
01:37:59,063 --> 01:38:00,827
Is that correct?
1026
01:38:01,265 --> 01:38:03,927
Yes, no mistake.
1027
01:38:05,202 --> 01:38:10,333
According to our investigations,
it appears the boy you saw...
1028
01:38:11,275 --> 01:38:15,109
made the final call to Kashiwagi's home.
1029
01:38:21,986 --> 01:38:26,890
Among the photos we showed you,
you couldn't identify that boy.
1030
01:38:27,258 --> 01:38:30,125
He wasn't among them.
1031
01:38:32,429 --> 01:38:39,995
Do you still have no idea of
that boy's identity?
1032
01:38:41,538 --> 01:38:44,564
No, he's here now.
1033
01:38:48,912 --> 01:38:51,472
Could you please point him out for us?
1034
01:38:57,354 --> 01:38:58,947
That's him.
1035
01:39:04,295 --> 01:39:06,821
No mistake?
1036
01:39:07,998 --> 01:39:09,432
No, that's him.
1037
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,272
Please silence.
1038
01:39:26,950 --> 01:39:28,941
Silence in the court.
1039
01:39:39,463 --> 01:39:41,295
Thank you very much.
1040
01:39:44,368 --> 01:39:50,102
Judge, I'd like to call my 2nd and final witness.
1041
01:39:50,874 --> 01:39:52,035
May I?
1042
01:40:00,150 --> 01:40:04,747
I call 3rd year student of
Toto University junior high, Kazuhiko Kambara.
1043
01:40:12,930 --> 01:40:14,125
Silence!
1044
01:40:15,999 --> 01:40:18,093
Both counsel, approach the bench.
1045
01:40:36,987 --> 01:40:40,048
What's going on?
What mischief are you plotting?
1046
01:40:40,824 --> 01:40:44,089
No mischief.
I've already spoken to Kambara.
1047
01:40:45,829 --> 01:40:49,493
To arrive at the truth,
Kambara's testimony is imperative.
1048
01:40:50,467 --> 01:40:54,062
Please Judge. Give me the chance to testify.
1049
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:59,205
I've promised Fujino that I will tell the truth.
1050
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:03,947
Listen, Kambara.
1051
01:41:05,949 --> 01:41:07,439
This is not for you.
1052
01:41:07,785 --> 01:41:12,951
I'm only allowing it because
I have a duty to finish this trial.
1053
01:41:27,070 --> 01:41:29,402
I, Kazuhiko Kambara...
1054
01:41:29,873 --> 01:41:32,205
I, Kazuhiko Kambara...
1055
01:41:32,910 --> 01:41:36,403
"Swear to tell the truth...
and nothing but the truth."
1056
01:41:38,248 --> 01:41:42,082
Swear to tell the truth...
and nothing but the truth.
1057
01:41:43,253 --> 01:41:44,743
Please be seated.
1058
01:41:45,189 --> 01:41:48,784
What's going on? Why is he a witness?
1059
01:41:49,393 --> 01:41:52,124
Please begin your examination,
Miss Prosecutor.
1060
01:42:01,171 --> 01:42:04,869
This is a list of phone calls
made to Kashiwagi.
1061
01:42:05,409 --> 01:42:09,277
These are the four booths
the calls originated from.
1062
01:42:10,914 --> 01:42:17,115
The person who called Kashiwagi from
these phone booths was you, wasn't it, Kambara?
1063
01:42:17,187 --> 01:42:19,178
Yes, that's correct.
1064
01:42:20,791 --> 01:42:24,887
All were very short calls.
May I ask what was said?
1065
01:42:26,396 --> 01:42:31,027
I was at locations
Kashiwagi had ordered me to go to.
1066
01:42:31,869 --> 01:42:33,769
There was no need to say much.
1067
01:42:34,771 --> 01:42:37,900
What did Kashiwagi order you to do?
1068
01:42:39,776 --> 01:42:45,215
Go to each location in a fixed order
and call him at a fixed time.
1069
01:42:46,550 --> 01:42:49,485
Like some sort of game?
1070
01:42:50,787 --> 01:42:52,016
YES.
1071
01:42:54,191 --> 01:42:57,923
But, for the two of us,
a very meaningful game.
1072
01:43:33,931 --> 01:43:35,296
What's up?
1073
01:43:42,973 --> 01:43:44,372
How's school?
1074
01:43:46,143 --> 01:43:47,508
Nothing special, same as always.
1075
01:43:47,844 --> 01:43:51,838
Don't say that. That's not very interesting.
1076
01:43:55,352 --> 01:44:00,313
I haven't talked to anyone recently.
You never see me any more.
1077
01:44:06,263 --> 01:44:09,289
What did you ask me here for?
1078
01:44:09,399 --> 01:44:11,834
Without that, you wouldn't come?
1079
01:44:11,935 --> 01:44:14,233
Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
1080
01:44:19,076 --> 01:44:20,737
I'm thinking about dying.
1081
01:44:30,287 --> 01:44:35,123
When I think about this terrible,
meaningless world, I'm better off dead.
1082
01:44:35,258 --> 01:44:37,022
Death isn't the answer.
1083
01:44:37,194 --> 01:44:38,355
Why is that?
1084
01:44:38,962 --> 01:44:41,829
Then tell me, what's the point in living?
1085
01:44:43,166 --> 01:44:46,761
Don't say "Your poor parents"
or "You'll know when you grow up".
1086
01:44:46,937 --> 01:44:48,996
Why does everything have to have meaning?
1087
01:44:49,172 --> 01:44:53,040
You have options to change.
Changing schools is the easiest.
1088
01:44:54,011 --> 01:44:57,208
But you can't just give up and die.
1089
01:45:04,321 --> 01:45:06,289
How do you stay sane?
1090
01:45:07,858 --> 01:45:09,348
What does that mean?
1091
01:45:12,396 --> 01:45:17,493
How can you lead a normal life after
what happened to your parents?
1092
01:45:18,435 --> 01:45:21,370
Don't you feel guilty that only you survived?
1093
01:45:26,109 --> 01:45:28,305
Of course it's painful.
1094
01:45:28,812 --> 01:45:33,409
But I do want to erase it from my memories.
1095
01:45:36,019 --> 01:45:42,447
All you've done is just ignore
what actually happened.
1096
01:45:44,761 --> 01:45:46,957
You've never faced up to reality
1097
01:45:49,232 --> 01:45:54,727
That's why you're all talk. You're a hypocrite.
1098
01:45:58,341 --> 01:46:01,777
And you expect to change my mind?
1099
01:46:11,388 --> 01:46:12,913
Then...
1100
01:46:14,991 --> 01:46:20,191
How can I convince you I'm not?
1101
01:46:26,470 --> 01:46:27,995
That's easy.
1102
01:46:44,755 --> 01:46:50,785
He told me to return to places I shared
with my family and tell him how it felt.
1103
01:46:50,894 --> 01:46:54,387
If I did, he promised not to kill himself.
1104
01:46:57,334 --> 01:47:01,498
You went along to stop him
killing himself, is that right?
1105
01:47:03,106 --> 01:47:04,164
YES.
1106
01:47:05,342 --> 01:47:12,305
But it also gave birth to feelings
I'd forgotten I had.
1107
01:47:13,817 --> 01:47:14,943
What feelings?
1108
01:47:16,086 --> 01:47:19,886
It was just as Kashiwagi said...
1109
01:47:20,290 --> 01:47:24,454
I had refused to face up to
the reality of my past.
1110
01:47:25,829 --> 01:47:28,924
So maybe I needed to reconnect with it.
1111
01:47:32,102 --> 01:47:34,002
Wasn't that painful?
1112
01:47:35,105 --> 01:47:36,903
Yes, very painful.
1113
01:47:37,841 --> 01:47:40,401
But above that...
1114
01:47:42,212 --> 01:47:45,011
it also brought back the good memories, too.
1115
01:47:53,757 --> 01:47:57,352
My parents weren't always unhappy.
1116
01:47:59,062 --> 01:48:04,796
When my dad wasn't drinking
he was a kind, hardworking man.
1117
01:48:05,769 --> 01:48:07,931
He and Mom mostly got along well.
1118
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:14,910
Before the game,
I'd tried hard not to think of my parents.
1119
01:48:16,379 --> 01:48:21,044
But that buried the good times,
the good memories, too.
1120
01:48:23,386 --> 01:48:27,345
So that "game" he made you play
brought back those memories?
1121
01:48:28,391 --> 01:48:29,825
YES.
1122
01:48:32,028 --> 01:48:37,159
Things I didn't understand when I was 7,
suddenly made sense to me.
1123
01:48:38,969 --> 01:48:44,339
And I owe all that to my step-parents.
1124
01:48:46,576 --> 01:48:50,069
When I thought back to my late parents...
1125
01:48:50,780 --> 01:48:54,444
it made me appreciate my step-parents.
1126
01:49:01,391 --> 01:49:06,727
When you called Kashiwagi,
did he ask how you felt?
1127
01:49:10,166 --> 01:49:14,034
He didn't want to know that until
after the game.
1128
01:49:14,771 --> 01:49:17,968
Face to face, so he could see for himself.
1129
01:49:22,245 --> 01:49:28,014
So Kashiwagi didn't expect
a positive outcome from this game, did he?
1130
01:49:29,085 --> 01:49:35,388
He expected you to get upset,
become depressed, isn't that right?
1131
01:50:04,354 --> 01:50:06,755
I'm at the final checkpoint.
1132
01:50:08,291 --> 01:50:10,282
Did you finish all the steps?
1133
01:50:11,194 --> 01:50:13,891
Yes, it's over.
1134
01:50:15,999 --> 01:50:20,800
There's a lot to tell you but it's late,
my folks will be worried.
1135
01:50:21,237 --> 01:50:23,205
Can we meet up tomorrow?
1136
01:50:24,874 --> 01:50:27,935
No way. It has to be tonight.
1137
01:50:29,045 --> 01:50:31,912
No sorry, tonight is impossible.
1138
01:50:32,115 --> 01:50:34,482
I'm exhausted, mentally and physically.
1139
01:50:35,452 --> 01:50:39,116
Be on the roof of
Joto 3 Junior High at 11:30 pm.
1140
01:50:41,324 --> 01:50:43,053
You must come.
1141
01:50:43,493 --> 01:50:44,927
That's too late.
1142
01:50:45,028 --> 01:50:47,156
The game is not over!
1143
01:50:48,264 --> 01:50:51,199
Don't be so selfish. I'm not going.
1144
01:50:54,804 --> 01:50:58,399
If you don't turn up, I'll kill myself.
1145
01:51:03,380 --> 01:51:06,714
There's a little gate near the big side gate.
1146
01:51:07,117 --> 01:51:09,313
I'll leave everything unlocked for you.
1147
01:51:46,856 --> 01:51:51,054
What's wrong, lad? Is everything alright?
1148
01:52:03,740 --> 01:52:06,937
He wanted you on that rooftop late at night.
1149
01:52:07,844 --> 01:52:11,178
Kashiwagi planned that from the start.
1150
01:52:15,952 --> 01:52:19,718
So I did as he asked me.
1151
01:52:23,893 --> 01:52:27,727
Last year, on Christmas Eve, at 11:30 pm.
1152
01:52:28,364 --> 01:52:32,426
Did you come to Joto 3 Junior High School?
1153
01:52:33,837 --> 01:52:36,033
Yes, I did.
1154
01:52:36,773 --> 01:52:39,401
Who was there on the roof?
1155
01:52:40,443 --> 01:52:42,878
Kashiwagi.
1156
01:52:43,046 --> 01:52:46,072
On his own, standing by the safety fence.
1157
01:52:47,283 --> 01:52:50,981
What did you think when you saw him there?
1158
01:52:56,459 --> 01:52:59,326
It made me scared.
1159
01:53:01,197 --> 01:53:03,359
What were you scared of?
1160
01:53:06,136 --> 01:53:07,729
I don't know.
1161
01:53:12,142 --> 01:53:16,841
During the game,
you told him you also had good memories.
1162
01:53:17,914 --> 01:53:22,943
You remembered happy times
and good memories, correct?
1163
01:53:25,021 --> 01:53:26,147
YES.
1164
01:53:27,757 --> 01:53:30,454
What was Kashiwagi's reaction to that?
1165
01:53:33,029 --> 01:53:34,394
He got angry-
1166
01:53:36,065 --> 01:53:38,056
What made him so angry?
1167
01:53:40,136 --> 01:53:42,070
He said I was weird.
1168
01:53:44,874 --> 01:53:48,970
That I was lying, that I must have felt bad.
1169
01:53:50,213 --> 01:53:53,911
So Kashiwagi blamed you?
1170
01:53:55,251 --> 01:53:56,412
Yes, he did.
1171
01:53:57,754 --> 01:54:02,885
I sensed he understood
I really did feel better afterwards.
1172
01:54:04,060 --> 01:54:07,155
But he couldn't accept that, could he?
1173
01:54:09,032 --> 01:54:10,261
No, he couldn't.
1174
01:54:12,302 --> 01:54:15,465
He said my reaction was worse
than he'd expected.
1175
01:54:16,472 --> 01:54:18,065
What does that mean?
1176
01:54:23,746 --> 01:54:30,846
Kashiwagi said that me feeling better
was the worst possible outcome.
1177
01:54:33,389 --> 01:54:34,982
That's what he said.
1178
01:54:50,073 --> 01:54:53,008
It's worse than I expected.
1179
01:54:54,777 --> 01:54:58,441
Worse than you expected?
What do you mean?
1180
01:55:00,216 --> 01:55:06,314
If you really do think like that,
you're beyond help.
1181
01:55:09,692 --> 01:55:11,319
Good memories?
1182
01:55:12,462 --> 01:55:16,365
When you went to
where your father killed your mother?
1183
01:55:18,134 --> 01:55:21,798
I'd kill myself before I'd admit that.
1184
01:55:23,473 --> 01:55:29,071
Didn't it hurt you?
No, you're too dull to feel anything.
1185
01:55:32,015 --> 01:55:36,475
It's a sin for someone so dull
and empty to keep on living.
1186
01:55:40,490 --> 01:55:43,016
But I still choose to live.
1187
01:55:44,861 --> 01:55:47,023
The game's over.
1188
01:55:49,132 --> 01:55:51,157
You don't get to decide that.
1189
01:55:51,934 --> 01:55:56,303
No son of an alcoholic killer
can order me around.
1190
01:56:01,210 --> 01:56:06,273
You'll become an alcoholic and
you'll beat your wife to death.
1191
01:56:06,983 --> 01:56:09,247
And your children, too.
1192
01:56:11,888 --> 01:56:15,153
You don't get to decide that.
1193
01:56:15,858 --> 01:56:17,417
That's your fate.
1194
01:56:17,894 --> 01:56:22,331
Someone like you, with bad blood,
has no right to live.
1195
01:56:22,865 --> 01:56:25,129
You're just scum, you're nothing.
1196
01:56:25,234 --> 01:56:28,761
Kazuhiko Kambara doesn't deserve
to have a decent life.
1197
01:56:34,177 --> 01:56:38,307
We were never really friends, were we?
1198
01:56:49,792 --> 01:56:53,786
I can't take it any more.
1199
01:57:31,367 --> 01:57:36,305
If you leave now, I will jump.
1200
01:57:44,013 --> 01:57:46,072
Do as you like.
1201
01:57:46,182 --> 01:57:48,480
If you're that eager to die, go ahead.
1202
01:58:59,155 --> 01:59:04,184
When did you learn that
Kashiwagi fell from the roof to his death?
1203
01:59:05,995 --> 01:59:09,329
The next day. On the TV news.
1204
01:59:12,935 --> 01:59:14,266
How did that feel?
1205
01:59:20,443 --> 01:59:21,911
Were you scared?
1206
01:59:30,486 --> 01:59:31,544
YES.
1207
01:59:35,324 --> 01:59:38,191
Have you told anyone else about this?
1208
01:59:42,164 --> 01:59:43,757
No, I haven't.
1209
01:59:46,936 --> 01:59:48,995
I didn't plan to ever tell anyone.
1210
01:59:53,309 --> 02:00:00,215
These were the events
you experienced last Christmas Eve...
1211
02:00:01,183 --> 02:00:04,312
between 11:30 pm and 00:30 am.
Is that everything?
1212
02:00:05,955 --> 02:00:08,390
Yes, it is.
1213
02:00:09,525 --> 02:00:15,828
You've testified that only you and
Kashiwagi were on the roof that night.
1214
02:00:18,367 --> 02:00:20,927
Yes, that's right.
1215
02:00:22,505 --> 02:00:26,339
Oide didn't kill Kashiwagi.
1216
02:00:27,376 --> 02:00:30,277
You knew that from the start.
1217
02:00:32,248 --> 02:00:32,942
Yes, I did.
1218
02:00:33,916 --> 02:00:35,975
You didn't say anything? Jerk!
1219
02:00:36,552 --> 02:00:38,350
You knew all along?
1220
02:00:39,021 --> 02:00:43,083
You knew I was innocent,
but you kept quiet?
1221
02:00:45,361 --> 02:00:46,419
Answer me, Kambara!
1222
02:00:46,529 --> 02:00:48,293
Back to your seat!
1223
02:00:49,332 --> 02:00:51,300
Calm down, Oide.
1224
02:00:51,467 --> 02:00:53,128
Say something!
1225
02:00:53,235 --> 02:00:54,828
Sit down, Oide.
1226
02:00:55,771 --> 02:00:57,705
You will be seated now!
1227
02:01:01,310 --> 02:01:02,835
Okay.
1228
02:01:12,355 --> 02:01:13,823
Return to your seats.
1229
02:01:17,159 --> 02:01:18,991
Be seated.
1230
02:01:27,436 --> 02:01:28,904
Please continue.
1231
02:01:32,341 --> 02:01:34,241
Miss Prosecutor, continue.
1232
02:01:39,215 --> 02:01:43,345
You offered to be Oide's defense lawyer.
1233
02:01:44,286 --> 02:01:45,811
Why?
1234
02:01:47,056 --> 02:01:51,084
I knew it was a false accusation and
I felt sorry for him.
1235
02:01:53,896 --> 02:01:57,127
Yesterday, you laid much blame on Oide.
1236
02:01:57,767 --> 02:02:00,168
Was that to protect him?
1237
02:02:08,277 --> 02:02:11,508
Despite those things, he is innocent.
1238
02:02:13,849 --> 02:02:16,318
Is that what made you confess?
1239
02:02:19,188 --> 02:02:20,212
YES.
1240
02:02:21,957 --> 02:02:27,259
Couldn't you simply tell
Kashiwagi's parents, or the police?
1241
02:02:28,097 --> 02:02:30,259
Wasn't there another way?
1242
02:02:33,769 --> 02:02:37,501
Even if I did go to the police,
or to Kashiwagi's parents...
1243
02:02:38,507 --> 02:02:40,532
I wouldn't have been punished.
1244
02:02:44,947 --> 02:02:50,511
Kashiwagi needed help and I walked away.
1245
02:02:54,056 --> 02:02:57,026
I wanted him dead.
1246
02:02:58,928 --> 02:03:02,762
If I had told the truth from the beginning...
1247
02:03:03,399 --> 02:03:06,767
Matsuko would still be alive.
1248
02:03:12,908 --> 02:03:18,347
This court should be judging me, not Oide.
1249
02:03:23,185 --> 02:03:26,416
Please punish me for his murder.
1250
02:03:40,369 --> 02:03:42,133
What do we do with Kambara?
1251
02:03:42,471 --> 02:03:44,803
Was abandoning Kashiwagi a crime?
1252
02:03:44,907 --> 02:03:47,376
Maybe. But I'm happy for Kashiwagi.
1253
02:03:47,510 --> 02:03:48,375
How come?
1254
02:03:48,444 --> 02:03:51,311
He wasn't all alone.
He had a good friend in Kambara.
1255
02:03:51,781 --> 02:03:52,942
Maybe you're right.
1256
02:03:53,849 --> 02:03:57,114
After hearing Kambara's confession...
1257
02:03:57,253 --> 02:04:01,190
the judge suspended closing
arguments and statements.
1258
02:04:01,357 --> 02:04:03,951
He instructed the jury to begin deliberations.
1259
02:04:04,093 --> 02:04:08,462
Let's believe in ourselves, and others, too.
1260
02:04:08,964 --> 02:04:10,728
We'll be fine.
1261
02:04:13,402 --> 02:04:15,370
So we have a verdict.
1262
02:04:36,258 --> 02:04:37,953
Silence!
1263
02:04:40,029 --> 02:04:42,259
The jury will re-enter the court.
1264
02:05:30,312 --> 02:05:32,474
The accused will come forward.
1265
02:05:38,954 --> 02:05:41,082
Oide, take the chair.
1266
02:05:58,474 --> 02:06:00,101
Foreman of the jury, Mr Takeda.
1267
02:06:00,209 --> 02:06:01,040
Yes sir.
1268
02:06:01,477 --> 02:06:03,809
Have you reached a verdict?
1269
02:06:04,013 --> 02:06:05,811
Yes, we have.
1270
02:06:06,348 --> 02:06:08,476
May I see it?
1271
02:06:15,057 --> 02:06:17,719
Please read your verdict.
1272
02:06:17,927 --> 02:06:18,985
Yes, sir.
1273
02:06:24,166 --> 02:06:27,329
We find Oide innocent.
1274
02:06:30,839 --> 02:06:36,471
This court finds the accused,
Shunji Oide, innocent of all charges.
1275
02:06:38,514 --> 02:06:40,881
The accused, return your seat.
1276
02:07:04,306 --> 02:07:06,297
I hereby declare this school trial closed.
1277
02:07:06,408 --> 02:07:08,172
It's not over yet!
1278
02:07:08,277 --> 02:07:09,472
Kambara?
1279
02:07:09,945 --> 02:07:11,845
I'm the real criminal.
1280
02:07:12,214 --> 02:07:15,775
You must find me guilty.
1281
02:07:16,018 --> 02:07:17,417
Calm down, Kambara.
1282
02:07:18,487 --> 02:07:19,955
Listen to me, Judge.
1283
02:07:20,489 --> 02:07:22,423
And the jury, too.
1284
02:07:24,860 --> 02:07:26,954
You need to punish me.
1285
02:07:27,997 --> 02:07:30,159
Killing Kashiwagi isn't my only crime.
1286
02:07:30,966 --> 02:07:35,836
I hurt so many of you because
I didn't tell the truth.
1287
02:07:39,842 --> 02:07:44,973
I took advantage of you all,
especially Fujino and Noda.
1288
02:07:46,048 --> 02:07:50,246
I maneuvered them
into holding this school trial.
1289
02:07:52,921 --> 02:07:55,083
Because I wanted them to punish me.
1290
02:07:56,492 --> 02:07:59,792
This court will not punish anyone.
1291
02:08:00,329 --> 02:08:03,788
This trial is not about punishing you.
1292
02:08:08,170 --> 02:08:14,337
After my dad beat my mother to death,
he hung himself in a prison toilet.
1293
02:08:17,312 --> 02:08:20,145
He should have served his sentence.
1294
02:08:21,483 --> 02:08:23,781
But he was a weak man.
1295
02:08:25,454 --> 02:08:33,123
He believed that killing himself
would pay for his crime.
1296
02:08:36,932 --> 02:08:40,869
Now I must do the same thing.
1297
02:08:43,305 --> 02:08:46,275
But you didn't kill Kashiwagi.
1298
02:08:47,910 --> 02:08:51,471
You're wrong, I did. I told him to do it.
1299
02:08:55,350 --> 02:08:59,218
You're not the only one
who deserves punishment.
1300
02:09:09,331 --> 02:09:16,169
I watched Oide and his gang tormenting
Juri and Matsuko.
1301
02:09:17,139 --> 02:09:19,233
I was scared, I ran away.
1302
02:09:21,443 --> 02:09:24,003
At first they were picking on Juri.
1303
02:09:24,146 --> 02:09:30,017
Matsuko threw her bag at
Oide in an attempt to save Juri.
1304
02:09:32,187 --> 02:09:37,523
Both of them cried out many times,
asking for help.
1305
02:09:39,928 --> 02:09:42,056
He stomped on Juri's face.
1306
02:09:43,866 --> 02:09:45,800
Her mouth was bleeding.
1307
02:09:47,436 --> 02:09:51,236
But I was too scared to step in.
1308
02:09:54,343 --> 02:09:56,402
I just stood by and watched.
1309
02:10:09,324 --> 02:10:14,524
Perhaps Matsuko stepping in
to help her friend...
1310
02:10:15,097 --> 02:10:19,227
was the reason Juri didn't kill herself,
like Kashiwagi did.
1311
02:10:23,138 --> 02:10:27,871
If I'd had the courage
to step in and defend her...
1312
02:10:31,847 --> 02:10:34,942
maybe Matsuko wouldn't be dead now.
1313
02:10:37,953 --> 02:10:39,887
I'm so sorry Juri.
1314
02:10:41,957 --> 02:10:43,789
I'm so sorry Matsuko.
1315
02:10:59,274 --> 02:11:02,835
Kashiwagi saw me shrink away
from helping them.
1316
02:11:05,013 --> 02:11:07,482
He never forgave me.
1317
02:11:10,352 --> 02:11:13,219
He said the same horrible things about me.
1318
02:11:15,958 --> 02:11:18,359
That was deeply wounding.
1319
02:11:20,862 --> 02:11:25,095
But, up on that roof, you told Kashiwagi...
1320
02:11:27,970 --> 02:11:30,098
you had chosen to live.
1321
02:11:33,408 --> 02:11:35,433
That's exactly how I felt.
1322
02:11:37,045 --> 02:11:38,877
The same as you.
1323
02:11:50,192 --> 02:11:53,787
That's why I can't blame you.
1324
02:11:55,297 --> 02:11:59,495
No one here has any right to blame you.
1325
02:12:03,105 --> 02:12:06,336
Then this trial was meaningless.
1326
02:12:06,441 --> 02:12:08,034
No, you're wrong.
1327
02:12:09,244 --> 02:12:12,976
If I hadn't been involved in this trial...
1328
02:12:13,448 --> 02:12:16,713
I wouldn't have had the courage
to face the future.
1329
02:12:19,321 --> 02:12:22,882
I think everyone here feels the same.
1330
02:12:40,042 --> 02:12:44,775
We all have to carry our sins...
1331
02:12:46,515 --> 02:12:48,483
until the day we can overcome them.
1332
02:13:13,709 --> 02:13:15,177
Judge!
1333
02:13:21,817 --> 02:13:25,185
I hereby declare this school trial over.
1334
02:13:41,269 --> 02:13:43,101
Please proceed slowly.
1335
02:13:43,805 --> 02:13:45,364
No Pushing, please.
1336
02:13:47,476 --> 02:13:49,376
Thank you for attending.
1337
02:13:49,478 --> 02:13:51,412
Thank you.
1338
02:14:12,501 --> 02:14:15,368
Thank you for assuming such a difficult role.
1339
02:14:16,104 --> 02:14:18,095
There's an even more difficult task ahead.
1340
02:14:18,173 --> 02:14:20,938
Preparing for high school entrance exams.
1341
02:14:21,343 --> 02:14:22,401
That's right.
1342
02:14:22,811 --> 02:14:24,711
I'd forgotten all about that.
1343
02:14:25,213 --> 02:14:26,339
See you.
1344
02:14:32,187 --> 02:14:34,383
It's all over.
1345
02:14:36,491 --> 02:14:37,925
Good work.
1346
02:14:56,711 --> 02:14:59,806
I'm sorry about all this, but I was innocent.
1347
02:15:14,963 --> 02:15:15,395
Shunji no!
1348
02:15:15,697 --> 02:15:18,223
It's okay. He has a right to hit me.
1349
02:15:44,759 --> 02:15:46,193
Thank you so much.
1350
02:16:14,923 --> 02:16:16,413
Prosecutor Fujino!
1351
02:16:17,325 --> 02:16:18,417
Hello, sir.
1352
02:16:18,827 --> 02:16:19,988
Hello.
1353
02:16:20,395 --> 02:16:21,920
Good work, well done.
1354
02:16:24,266 --> 02:16:25,392
Thanks Dad.
1355
02:16:27,202 --> 02:16:30,866
This calls for a beer, but you're all too young.
1356
02:16:31,873 --> 02:16:33,898
Any excuse to drink.
1357
02:16:34,075 --> 02:16:37,409
For sure. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
1358
02:16:37,779 --> 02:16:41,511
Sharing a nice cold beer would be a fitting end.
1359
02:16:42,183 --> 02:16:43,309
I can almost taste it!
1360
02:16:43,451 --> 02:16:47,319
C'mon Dad, you're embarrassing them.
1361
02:16:48,490 --> 02:16:51,323
Which boy do you fancy?
1362
02:16:51,459 --> 02:16:52,949
Cut it out, Mom!
1363
02:16:53,094 --> 02:16:54,118
Juri!
1364
02:17:02,470 --> 02:17:03,767
Let's go.
1365
02:17:08,376 --> 02:17:13,815
I'm so sorry I blamed everything on Matsuko.
1366
02:17:17,085 --> 02:17:23,081
Matsuko will always be watching over you, dear.
1367
02:17:41,176 --> 02:17:44,908
I'm so sorry. Forgive me Matsuko.
1368
02:18:46,508 --> 02:18:48,442
Thinking about it now...
1369
02:18:49,244 --> 02:18:53,806
I realize we could only have done it
because we were 14 years old.
1370
02:18:56,818 --> 02:18:58,445
Excuse me.
1371
02:19:10,832 --> 02:19:13,802
But much good came from the trial.
1372
02:19:13,935 --> 02:19:17,929
Since then, the school has had
no bullying or student suicides.
1373
02:19:19,808 --> 02:19:22,505
Now I understand why.
1374
02:19:24,312 --> 02:19:26,303
I finally get it.
1375
02:19:27,782 --> 02:19:32,219
That's why your school trial has
become a local legend.
1376
02:19:35,824 --> 02:19:42,287
But that's a high hurdle to jump for
someone who's just been transferred here.
1377
02:19:43,364 --> 02:19:45,230
I have no confidence.
1378
02:19:45,333 --> 02:19:48,303
You'll do just fine. You're not 14 any more.
1379
02:19:49,304 --> 02:19:52,433
The older we get, the less these things hurt us.
1380
02:19:52,807 --> 02:19:56,004
And we get better at dealing with problems.
1381
02:19:56,511 --> 02:20:00,072
That's how it was for me. What about you?
1382
02:20:00,982 --> 02:20:03,747
Same here.
1383
02:20:04,519 --> 02:20:08,387
Now I'm just another middle-aged
wife and mother.
1384
02:20:10,325 --> 02:20:13,852
But listening to you today reaffirmed my belief.
1385
02:20:14,996 --> 02:20:20,400
Dampen the voice in your heart and
you will see only what you want to see.
1386
02:20:20,502 --> 02:20:23,403
And believe only what you want to believe.
1387
02:20:24,005 --> 02:20:27,031
That's the scariest thing of all.
1388
02:20:33,515 --> 02:20:36,849
May I ask one last question?
1389
02:20:37,919 --> 02:20:38,943
Go ahead.
1390
02:20:39,521 --> 02:20:43,788
What happened to the others
involved in the trial?
1391
02:20:46,161 --> 02:20:49,324
After the trial finished, we all...
1392
02:20:52,734 --> 02:20:54,259
We became very good friends.
1393
02:21:07,182 --> 02:21:08,445
It's all over.
1394
02:21:10,852 --> 02:21:13,344
I don't know what to say to you.
1395
02:21:14,455 --> 02:21:18,858
If you want to appeal,
you'll face Noda, not me.
1396
02:21:19,360 --> 02:21:21,124
No way.
1397
02:21:22,030 --> 02:21:24,260
I want my normal life back.
1398
02:21:29,971 --> 02:21:33,168
We didn't let any of them beat us, did we?
1399
02:21:37,946 --> 02:21:39,141
See you.
1400
02:21:59,334 --> 02:22:03,100
Ryoko Fujino
1401
02:22:03,204 --> 02:22:07,004
