Mr. Koyama, you're being charged with fraud.
Do you understand?
No, I don't, Detective. I didn't do anything of the kind.
You know the Yakuza can't stay at hotels, right?
You booked a hotel room for yourself,
but Kiyoshi Kyogoku, one of the leaders of the Fushimi-gumi,
stayed there.
There's video footage of the two of you arriving at the hotel and checking in.
It's pretty clear-cut.
Oh, let me guess.
Your attorney Mr. Kujo told you to stay quiet?
The police wouldn't have arrested you unless they had evidence.
But they'll need to prove that you intended
to let Mr. Kyogoku stay at the hotel,
and to do that they'll need you to confess.
So if you remain silent, it's unlikely you'll be prosecuted.
All you have to do is stay quiet for 20 days,
and they'll cut you loose.
You know Tonohata, the driver for the call girls, right?
He was kidnapped by someone who burned his dick off with a stun gun.
He thinks the owner, Kuga, ordered it as punishment
for laying his hands on one of the girls,
which sounds logical.
So he retaliated by setting Kuga's car on fire.
Detective. What are you talking about?
You know what I think? Do you?
I think you asked your friend Kyogoku to take care of Tonohata.
Huh? Now, why would I do that?
Because he sued you over Shizuku Pien and won.
He took one of your most profitable porn stars away from you.
Detective, I don't even know who that guy is.
So, that's the way you wanna play this, huh?
Remember Manami?
Yeah, that's right.
She was murdered ten years ago. Supposedly by some kid.
Thing is, she posted on social media
that she was dating you.
So I looked into you, and you were running an escort agency
ten years ago.
You ran a business hooking up so-called celebrities
with wealthy CEOs looking for action, right?
Word is, some of those girls were pretty young.
Fact is, you were pimping out
a bunch of little girls, weren't you?
You're disgusting.
Your client list had politicians and high-level bureaucrats on it, huh?
You were afraid Manami Ogawa was going to tell on you,
so to shut her up, you ordered Kyogoku to kill her.
You know something? You're really good at telling stories.
You should be a writer after you retire.
I feel bad for Manami,
but isn't the guy who did it already in jail?
The case was solved. What's the point of digging it up again?
I'm on to you.
I guarantee you, it's only a matter of time.
Oh, I get it.
You don't look much alike.
You know, Manami told me
she refused to use the bathwater after her father had used it
because she was so disgusted by him.
In my experience, if a girl's grossed out by her father,
it's because they don't pay any attention to her.
Don't pay any attention to their wives either.
The girl listens to them fight, and soon enough,
she starts to hate her dad.
Koyama, you have a daughter, right?
You must be having a hard time with her.
You make a living exploiting vulnerable women and girls.
Of course, she hates your guts.
You're making a lot of assumptions there.
Most of my employees are women, and a lot of them have problems.
I listen…
To their grief, their pain, and suffering.
I think the reason I'm so successful is because I listen to women.
I pay attention. Especially to my daughter and my wife.
-Fukami, get him out of here. -Yes, sir.
Arashiyama.
It's funny.
You were always so obsessed with catching criminals
that you didn't even know your own daughter.
Manami was like… a lot of girls who end up here, detective.
She loved money and having sex, so she combined the two.
She was a dirty little whore.
Mr. Kujo,
I finally figured out why they hauled me in here,
and it's not for fraud either.
What?
Arashiyama is my ex-girlfriend's father.
I never would have believed it.
Is that so?
So that explains why he arrested me for this hotel thing,
which is so stupid.
His daughter was raped and murdered, so he's got something against me.
What do I care?
So anyway, I'm about to lose 20 days of my life
because this detective's got a vendetta.
He's a pain in the ass, but to be honest,
his daughter was a bigger pain in the ass.
She got herself knocked up and said it was mine,
so I made her have an abortion.
That made her even worse.
She's still a fuckin' pain in my ass, even dead.
I can't stand the way you talk.
But
I'll do my best to represent you.
I don't know what I would've done without you.
Thank you, Mr. Kujo!
Hi. I'm back. How's it going?
Hello? Mr. Kujo.
Hello, Mr. Karasuma.
They say sighing like that will drive away happiness.
Sounds about right.
What is it? Are you tired?
Do I look tired?
A bit, yeah.
How about I make you coffee for a change?
That would be great.
Mmm.
My mom gave me this coffee.
Keep it for yourself, then. It's a gift.
Well, I don't have a grinder, so I'd have to use yours anyway.
In that case, thank you.
But she said this is a roast my dad used to like.
I was a kid, though, so I've never tried it.
So, now I'm excited to see what it tastes like.
You're usually the one who makes me coffee,
so I just copied you.
I hope it's good.
I'm sure it is.
Mmm. It's delicious.
It's nice up here on the roof.
Yeah. It is.
You look like yourself again.
Like myself?
When you came back from visiting Mr. Koyama,
you had this look I've never seen before.
You know better than anyone what will happen to you
if you continue to defend Koyama.
Hello. Kujo speaking.
Hi, Daddy. How are you?
Rino?
Mommy bought me a cell phone.
That's wonderful. How're you doing, sweetheart?
I'm good.
Well, have a good day. Goodbye, Daddy.
Your daughter's six, right?
Yeah.
Then she must be using a cell phone for kids.
Yeah, probably.
What about it?
It's just that… when they're set up for kids,
they can only call certain numbers.
So that means your ex-wife must have put your number in Rino's phone.
NEW CONTACT RINO
There's hope you'll get visitation after all.
Koyama said
Manami liked selling her body, called her a dirty whore.
Koyashan said that?
And I didn't say anything back, just sat there.
I'm a lousy excuse for a father.
I can't believe she ended up being used like that.
Girls can be easily impressed by confident creeps.
They're naive and fooled by people who know exactly what to say.
And even if it's a bullshit compliment from a loser, they're desperate for it.
Is that how it is?
I'm starting to realize how little I actually knew about my own daughter.
You really feel like you don't know anything about her?
Yeah. Like what kind of food did she like?
What kind of things did she like doing?
I don't know anything.
Well, she liked KARA.
Kara? What is that? A restaurant?
No, it's K-pop.
We were really into K-pop. I was into Girls' Generation.
We used to go and sing karaoke all night long.
I had no idea she was even a singer.
Mm-hmm.
She was really good too.
Especially Hikaru Utada's songs.
Sometimes she'd cry when she sang.
I remember it so clearly still.
She was thoughtful and caring.
And cute too.
You two really are related.
What?
Manami loved shichimi togarashi on her udon soup too.
She piled it on, just like you.
Ms. Miho,
I want to thank you for remembering Manami the way you do.
Thank you.
Daddy, can I have this?
Hmm…
-What is it? Where did you find it? -Over there.
Come on. Let's go ask Mommy if it's okay. Okay?
Daddy, can I have this?
No, Manami.
Daddy, I want it.
I don't wanna hear it.
I'm so sorry.
Manami…
I'm sorry.
ORGANIZED CRIME DIVISION
-Detective, you got a minute? -Sure. What is it?
I asked Tonohata if he remembered anything else about the day of the incident,
and what he said was interesting.
Oh yeah?
He had a plastic bag over his head, so he couldn't tell where he was,
but he heard a… compressor, and he could smell oil.
What do you think that could be?
Compressor… oil?
That could be an auto repair shop, couldn't it?
Hey, Arashiyama. A visitor for you.
Here. These are for you.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!
Thank you. That's very kind, Ms. Miho.
Mr. Arashiyama, I just wanted to say… I'm grateful to you.
We're gonna go somewhere that's better for raising kids.
You're moving?
Yeah.
The time we've spent talking
has helped me to see that things could actually get better.
Oh, okay.
DATING APP SCAM CASE INVESTIGATION MATERIALS
Mr. Arashiyama.
What are you doing here?
I was packing and…
I found pictures of Manami, so I thought I'd send them to you.
Wait. Did something happen with Manami's case?
Open the door please.
What happened--
Miss Miho.
You're under arrest under suspicion of fraud.
What? What are you--
-What? Ow! That hurts! Ow! -7:20 a.m.
In custody.
-Why would he arrest her himself? -Arashiyama is a beast.
What's going on?
As the arrest warrant states, you are suspected of committing fraud.
Why are you doing this to me? I don't understand!
Through our investigation,
we found multiple complaints of marriage fraud against you.
We have reason to believe
you intentionally deceived more than one victim
and that you did so for financial gain.
I don't know what you're talking about!
We'll question you down at the station. Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait! What about my baby?
He'll die without me. What kind of monsters are you?
We've called social services. Don't worry.
I helped you with Manami's case, didn't I? What are you doing?
Okay, get in.
That has nothing to do with this.
We enforce the law, no matter what.
We enforce the law.
Mr. Kujo,
Mr. Karasuma showed up here the other day.
Mr. Karasuma came here?
Yep. He told me off. Said if I cared about you at all,
I should stay away from you.
Is that right?
Hello there.
What's going on? You plotting something with your lawyer?
Hello, Detective. What can I do for you?
I'm here as a customer.
There's a little scratch on my car.
Hey, Mibu.
There have been a lot of violent incidents around you lately.
The kidnapping and assault of Tonohata, the call girl driver.
A street assault, blunt object to the head.
And Kanemoto's drowning.
Not to mention the murder committed by one of your guys, Inukai, ten years ago.
Either you have really bad luck, or you're involved.
No offense, but your shop's really starting to stink.
Now, what is that? Is it the stench of death?
Detective.
If that's the case,
you might wanna go get your car fixed somewhere else.
Anyway, I have the right to refuse your business.
If it was up to me,
criminals like you wouldn't have any rights.
Mr. Kujo, how do you sleep at night protecting these depraved parasites?
Lawyers don't protect people who do evil things.
We protect the justice system.
The justice system? What do you mean?
I don't expect you to understand this,
but without us, our criminal justice system wouldn't work.
So you being a Yakuza lapdog is how you fight for justice?
All I'm saying is the accused require a defense,
and if I refuse, another lawyer has to do it.
That doesn't justify telling your clients not to answer questions.
You're supporting criminal activity.
Last I looked, the right to remain silent
is enshrined in the Criminal Code and the constitution.
Maybe you need a refresher on what our laws actually are?
So, you're telling me…
if your daughter was raped and murdered,
you'd defend the perpetrators because that's their right?
As a lawyer, my duty is to serve our justice system
and defend people's rights.
To answer your question,
I'd have to recuse myself from a case
if my emotions might cloud my judgment.
The police and defense lawyers play different roles,
but we all have the same goal.
A peaceful society, right?
Nice. The Yakuza's fixer spouting philosophy.
I'm making it my personal mission to finish you, Kujo.
If my daughter was the one who was murdered,
I promise you there's no way in hell I'd leave it to the courts.
Aren't they beautiful?
Huh?
The flowers.
Oh, did you go out and get those?
Mm-hmm. Not too far, just past the train station.
I saw these on my way there, and I thought they looked so nice.
You did, huh?
Here.
-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.
Omurice?
Whenever you needed cheering up, this would always work.
I look like I need cheering up today?
Well… Go ahead. Dig in.
Thank you very much.
I made it myself, but it's been awhile. How'd I do?
It's so good.
And nostalgic.
I'd always eat this before exams,
and every time, it gave me the boost I needed.
What is it, son?
Just thinking.
About what?
By the way,
I had the coffee you gave me with Mr. Kujo the other day.
He said it was delicious.
You know,
I should go and say hello to Mr. Kujo one of these days.
No, it's okay. That's not necessary.
You should eat too, Mom.
Mmm. I will. Just give me a minute.
We had omurice with Dad before sports day at school, remember?
He was so excited for the father-son relay race.
And thanks to your cooking, we got first place.
Your dad used to say
omurice is our family's luckiest dish.
He said, "I have an important business trip today."
"So I want to have omurice."
That morning…
That was the last time.
Hey, Mom?
Mom?
He said he'd be back late that night.
But I never thought that he wouldn't.
He's never coming home.
Never.
And it isn't fair.
Why would they write those horrible things about your dad?
I was so scared.
But no one helped us.
I didn't want to know those things.
I wanted to remember the man we knew.
You need to breathe.
After your dad was gone,
Shinji, I was…
-Please, Mom, it's okay. -You don't understand.
-I promised him! -I will not…
…ever do anything that would hurt you, okay?
You said something before.
That Dad always wanted me to help others.
And I will.
Don't worry.
See you soon.
Shinji.
I'd like to meet Mr. Kujo.
Mr. Kujo?
He is the one who's making you suffer.
I'll hold you to it, then.
Everyone, how's it going?
Good. How are you?
Mr. Karasuma.
Yes?
I found this on the floor.
Oh, yeah. Thanks.
-What's going on? -Nothing. He found my pen.
Is there something special about it?
No! It's nothing!
Anyway, what are doing here? Slacking off again, Yakushimae?
Speak for yourself, Mr. Karasuma. I got here hours ago,
so who's the real slacker?
I stopped at my parents' house.
Oh, that's sweet. Fine, you get a pass.
I think I'll take a break soon. You wanna join me?
We could have some of the coffee your mother gave you the other day
if you want.
I told her that we tried it and you said it was delicious.
That made her happy.
It's exquisite coffee.
Mr. Kujo,
my mother said she would… like to meet you.
She wants me to arrange a visit.
A visit, huh?
She made me promise.
Well, one must always keep one's promises.
Thank you very much.
You could take them to a nice restaurant.
There's a kaiseki one called Nomura.
Nomura? Isn't it hard to get a reservation there?
-Yeah. -No, that place is way too expensive.
No, no, Mr. Karasuma. I don't think you should worry about that.
Why don't you come out with us, Yakushimae?
As a way to show my appreciation.
That's okay.
I'd rather not get treated to dinner by anyone on the Yakuza payroll.
I think you might be overstating the situation a bit.
Right, Mr. Karasuma?
Yeah, I'd agree with that.
You know, it's become really clear to me. A bowl of gyudon bought with honest money,
tastes so much better than the finest food bought with dirty money ever could.
I'm sure Black Thunder agrees with me.
Mr. Kujo, we should consider raising our attorney fees.
Why's that?
Because by doing that, we'd be free to say no to cases
we don't want to take.
I believe it's best to have a low, fixed fee no matter who the client is.
Because there are people who are saved by that,
and we don't choose who is and isn't deserving.
I've heard that so many times.
I'm not changing how I run my firm.
Greed and vanity will be the death of us all.
Fair enough.
I still think it's better if we choose who we represent.
You've started to speak up, Mr. Karasuma. It's a good look.
But Mr. Kujo won't listen to us anyway.
Your mother might be able to get through to him.
No, no, no.
MR. KYOGOKU
Sorry we have to meet in a place like this.
I guess this a cash-only hotel?
Moldy, there's no windows, and it has bad energy.
It's really depressing.
But, uh… it can't be avoided
since Koyama's still in jail, charged with fraud, of all things.
It should only be a couple more weeks.
It's unbelievable.
He gets charged with fraud because I stayed at a hotel under his name?
What the hell is that?
Well, at least you fixed it so he'll be cut loose in 20 days.
So is there… anything can I do for you today?
The kids went out to do the collecting as usual…
and somehow the cops framed our boss on conspiracy charges or something,
while he's still in jail!
It seemed like another unreasonable charge for you to get rid of.
This is Boss Fushimi of the Fushimi-gumi gang?
The cops… are seriously trying to take us down.
Thing is,
when I told the boss about everything that you've done for us,
he got really interested.
Go see him. Hear what he has to say.
Attorney Kujo, we'll drive you.
No, it's okay.
The underboss told us to drive you.
I have my own car, thanks.
You look like you have something to say to me.
Go ahead. What is it?
You've made it as far as the big boss now.
What are you planning to do?
Hello. This is Kujo.
Mr. Kujo,
my name is Yamazaki from the Fusei-kai, a branch of Fushimi-gumi.
I'm calling because I heard you're handling Mr. Kyogoku's defense.
What can I do for you?
One of our members was arrested for robbery.
I'm wondering if you can help.
We shouldn't discuss this on the phone. You'd better come to my office.
Okay. Thank you very much.
Mr. Karasuma.
We have to go eat Japan's number one takoyaki before heading back.
Mr. Kujo, do you not get what's going on?
We should take on cases that could set legal precedent.
But instead, to be honest, Mr. Kujo,
you're at the beck and call of a bunch of gangsters.
Beck and call?
Being involved in our recent cases,
it's given me insight on how the Yakuza treat each other.
Let's hear it.
They don't give a shit about each other.
There's nothing they wouldn't do to protect themselves.
They're going to betray you.
I heard Inukai's out.
Yup. A guy working security at a club in Roppongi saw him.
Why didn't he give me a call?
There's some rumors going on about him. They don't sound good.
It's been a while.
Sure has.
Your guy, Ayabe, he, uh, looked out for me when I was in juvie.
Juvenile prison's tough enough
without someone looking out for you in there.
When Mibu turned his back on you, it must've been hell.
You could say that.
Just did.
Mibu must be on your list.
Yeah.
Because of Mibu, I lost ten years for just three million yen.
You've got it out for him too, don't you Mr. Sugawara?
I heard all about it.
That your nursing home thing was going great
until he ruined everything for you.
Let's go take Mibu's 300 million yen.
We'll kill him if he doesn't let us.
Hell yeah.
Mr. Kujo.
Please refuse to represent Boss Fushimi.
You have to draw the line.
If that's something you can't do…
I won't be able to work with you anymore. at
