I have access to technology that gave me an advantage. That wasn't it. You found me because I didn't really want to disappear. Let's say I was trying to find someone who did Want to disappear. How would I do that? Your father? (theme music plays) ¶takeme inside¶ Previously on "Stitchers"... Cameron! - Good morning, Sunshine. - How are you feeling? - Doctor said I'm good to go. - What is going on with you? Climbing buildings... Slugging people? I can't help it. I died and then I came back. I get a second chance to live my life. You see how she reacted after Cameron revived? I've never seen her like that. - This is the rev 2. - How is this suit going to protect me? - How do you feel? - Slightly badass. His name was Ed Clark. Why did he kill himself? He didn't and he wasn't my father.
Les Turner ordered me to stop looking into Ed Clark's murder. This facility is under my authority until a new director is appointed. I smell something. I smell incense again. Whoever killed Ed also killed Turner. Hey, dad. What's that smell? That is sandalwood. When you said "fully furnished", I pictured one of those little dorm fridges. Maybe a futon. The apartment is completely tricked out with smart appliances. I can turn on any device... With touch of an app. Lights, washer, dryer, stove-top. I'm sorry, how much money do you make? Not much. When you live with your parents for years, the benjies start piling up. Can I make you some tea? - Oh! Well, actually, that would be... - No? Okay. Great... Wow, now you don't even have to get off your fat ass to boil water. Living on my own is going to be great. You just moved out yesterday, but yes, it is a big step. What is this about a big step? - Aw! There she is.
- Hey! What are you doing here? Get out of my way. Camille! How wonderful to see you. And with my Linus. Yes, it is a treat to see you, Camille. We came to see this hovel you left us for. - He doesn't mean that. - Yes, I do. So you don't like it? He likes it. We both do. Does it matter what I like? You have done it already. Baba, why are you being so... Ah! You never answered my question. I heard "big step." Are you two... What? Us? Here? Together? No! Ah, well, I just thought... Don't take it so hard, mom. Certainly don't take it harder than Linus abandoning us. Abandoning you? I'm 24.
I can't live at home forever. I know that, Linus. And what I know is that a pain that a mother feels when her child leaves, is real and it is deep. So, the house you're living in, the house that you thought was Ed's, was actually your parents' house all along. So, I guess when my father left me, instead of having me go to Ed, he had Ed move in. You didn't know that till that memory of you and your dad in the kitchen came back? Oh, I love how the brain works! Okay, but you never answered my question. What do you think my father meant when I heard him in Turner's memory talking about "moving the asset"? Hey, give it a rest. I've seen how you get when you're obsessed and it's not pretty. Speaking of pretty... I'm not quitting until I find my father. You got to get out of your own way. Okay? You're letting your new emotions affect your reasoning. You gotta take a step back, and wait for the "ah-ha!" Moment to come to you. Ah-ha! Come to me! Oh, my gosh! Huh? How do I look? Like a trust fund kid with a death wish. Hop on. Pass. Seriously, hop on! You might actually like it. Feels good, right? Okay. Now picture this.
You and me, cruising down the highway, all right? Wind, in our hair. No, but we'd be wearing helmets. So, no. But seriously, you gotta hold on or you're fall, okay? You guys are the hottest couple ever. - Oh! - Actually, we're not... We're not sure if this is the right bike for us. Right, Pumpkin? Actually, I didn't even know that shnookums wanted a motorcycle until he died last week. You did what now? But lucky for muffin I was there to save him. Mmm. - Why tempt fate, right? - Yeah. Okay, so I guess this is... I guess I'll take it. Hmm. Sold. Oh, man! My first motorcycle. Aren't you a little young for a mid-life crisis? Hmm. Oh! Um... We actually gotta go to work. Is there anyway that we can put this aside for later? Um... I'll be back.
'Cause Arnold said that in Terminator 2... He rides a motorcycle. Sorry. Power heels? I have a meeting with our division head, Mitchell Blair. He was Turner's boss. He's going to be here today. Turner had a boss? Can't imagine him taking orders from anyone. Well, everyone answers to someone. And no, I don't know what Blair wants. Well, I'd like to meet this guy and ask him about my father. Right now I'd like us to focus on the case. Where's Camille? She's still babysitting Fisher. Which I don't get, 'cause he's been out of the hospital for a week. Yes, men are such babies when they're sick or shot. Linus? Derek Steelman, 28 years old. He got hit by a car this morning in Downtown LA. At one point he was number 3 on the FBI's most wanted hacker list. Until the FBI caught him posting internal memos from one of the "big five" oil companies. I could only find two photos. Well, he was a hacker. He wouldn't have wanted a big Internet footprint. Instead of prison, the FBI offered him a deal. He turned white hat, started working for some of our off-the-books agencies. N.C.T.C.? C.T.I.I.C.? R.E.S.P.E.C.T?
Among others. His job was to prevent cyber-terrorists from breaching our systems. So he could have been killed because of something he found out. Wait! What is that? That's an Insulin pump. Derek was wearing at the time of death. Witnesses say Derek looked disoriented before he walked into traffic. Was he drunk? On drugs? But we can't wait 48 hours to get his tox screen. If Derek was murdered, we need to know how and why. All right, Derek's mind map indicates there are a few speed bumps along memory lane. Might have something to do with getting hit by a car. Okay, what happens if we hit one? We'll take a detour. I need a go, no-go for stitch neurosync. Life-sci? Go. Everything just sounds so much better British. - Sub-bio? - Go. - The big man himself engineering? - Go. What's with you? I'm just happy because this baller is getting his first motorcycle today. Communications? Communications is highly impressed by this news. Go. - Medical?
- We are go. And as medical officer I advise against the purchase of a motorcycle. Fantastic! Comp check, Kirsten, one two, one two. Do you hear me as your rider? Oh, I hear you, Baller. Okay, I'll take that as a go. Induce stitch neurosync on my mark. In three, two, one... mark! Unbelievable. I'm in Derek's workshop. He's got enough equipment in here to crack any database he wants. Which, I suspect, is a violation of his parole. I am the only reason you are still alive and I am sick of cleaning up your messes! I'm gonna deal with it my way. You knew this from the start. If you can't deal with it, then by all means, cut me loose at any time. It's not that simple, Derek and you know that. Then what do you want me to do? Do as I tell you or you are going to end up dead. She just threatened to kill him if he didn't do something. - You see a name? - No. Take me as close as you can to his time of death. I'm with Derek on the street. So far he seems okay. Tell her to watch him closely. See if anyone brushes past him, makes physical contact that could mask a needle prick or a chemical transfer. Kirsten, look for anyone making contact with him. He just got an e-mail.
Uh, I can't see it. Uh... hey, just try moving just your consciousness closer to him. What? I can do that? Absolutely. Okay, the text reads, "five million sent. Destroy the list." Stealaglance? I know that website. It's where married people go to have affairs. What? I bought stock. Okay, well maybe Derek worked for stealaglance. Or blackmailing them. Wait. Something's wrong. I'm seeing double. Heart rate is elevating. He's checking his Insulin pump. A sudden overdose of Insulin could be fatal. He's trying to tear it out. Everything is getting dark. Oh, God! Car! Make the bounce! _ Okay, the car finished him off, but it was really Derek's Insulin pump that killed him. Derek's Insulin pump administered a massive overdose. So he was suffering from Insulin shock. Could it have malfunctioned?
His pump is one of the most reliable on the market. Failure rate of less than .0002. Here's what I think might have happened. Derek was blackmailing a billion dollar company, who turns out to be Jacob McGuire, founder and CEO. Maybe McGuire had Derek killed for stealing his client list. Which, if it were ever released, would effectively put stealaglance out of business. But... How could they trigger Derek's pump? Could have been hacked. I mean, it's Internet and cellular connected. It's difficult, but mostly makes sense. But why would they kill him if they know that their client list was still out there in the wild? I said "mostly". Then find McGuire and make him make total sense. Wait, hey, I want to meet this Blair guy. Yeah, if he was Turner's boss, he must be a total badass. Yes, a badass who is not on time. He's coming here to meet me. You guys have a job to do. You looking good. Feeling weak. Well... Considering it wasn't that long ago you were flat on your back, I expected to find you on the couch covered in potato chip dust. Thanks for getting me off my ass in the hospital. Golly, don't go all weepy on me now, Fishy. Don't worry. You still bug me. What's happening back at the lab? Well, you know, nerds...
Techno babble. Pretty much everything as you left it. How's Kirsten holding up? No leads on Daniel Stinger, which makes her a little crabby. Which makes me a little crabby. Didn't know she could do crabby... Or any other emotion, for that matter. Right. So, tell me about your bag. Come again? This? Is this just for exercise? Or can you actually learn how to... Hit things by working on it? And by "you", of course I mean me. Why are you making that face? Why do you wanna learn how to hit stuff? 'Cause I wanna know how to protect myself. Come on, you got shot and Turner is dead. Here... Take a couple shots. Just like that? Oh, that's fantastic... If you're defending yourself against a group of marauding grandmothers. Okay, calm down. Jeez! Maybe you should just stick to the brain stuff. Maybe you should stick to being a neanderthal. All right, well, your form sucks... But, you hit hard.
Story of my life. Put your whole body behind it, all right? Torque your waist, one punch leads to the other. Like this... Whoa! Careful! Easy, you're gonna pop a stitch. Yeah... yeah, you may be right. You know, with a little training, you'd kick ass. Wait, really? Yeah. I could teach you some stuff. Work on your technique. Then you can be a lean, mean snarky machine. Keep talking, string bean. - Hey. - Hi. Camille told me that you don't have any leads on your father. Nope. Start with what you know. The day and time he left, the cab company. See if their have records to go back that far. Don't worry. Stinger messed up somewhere. You'll get him. I know, thanks! I heard you two were going to talk to McGuire? Who's McGuire? His client list was hacked and he was being blackmailed for five million dollars. Blackmailer got murdered.
Sounds like McGuire had motive. What'd he say? No, McGuire wouldn't talk to us without his lawyer present. Wait, we should check his bank records. There's no way he paid that five million from the company account. He must have used a personal account. We could hack his bank, why not? And if we had the account numbers we could get in pretty quickly. Or you could find a judge to issue a warrant. But that would also take time. Guys! We could do this the legal way, or we could do it my way. We still have RFID scanners in the lab? Yeah. I'll go get my couture. You know the only thing I hate more than lines? - No, tell me. - Waiting in them. If you'd like to cut in front of me, all you have to do is ask. I thought that's what I just did. I don't remember seeing you inside. Oh, you just remember everyone in the same restaurant as you? No. But you, I'd remember. He's smooth, he's confident... He smells like a million bucks. You're trouble. And you're beautiful. Keep talking, killer. On second thought, I gotta bounce.
What about your car? I don't own one. Wait, can I get your number? That's okay, baby. I've got yours. So, according to the trip sheets, the taxi dropped my father off at the Bradley international terminal the night he left me with Ed. You got into their records? Yeah, I mean they could care less about someone snooping through trip sheets from 15 years ago. Now I just need to figure out what airline my father took and where he was going. Hmm. Ooh! So, how'd we do? Did you get his account numbers? She's got brains, she's got all this. The RFID scanner read the chips on every credit card in his wallet. Digital pickpocketing. What will they think of next? - That's amazing. - What a time to be alive, you guys! Miss Baptiste? I'm Mitchell Blair. How did you get in here? Well, I built this place, so I think I know where all the entrances are. Well, next time, you should let me know you're here. It'll help me not shoot you. Noted. Noted. Miss Baptiste, you are a legend at the agency. And you, Mr. Blair, are an unknown. Your reputation for plain talks is not for nothing.
Congratulations. For? Effective immediately, you're promoted to acting director of the Stitchers Program. Not sure I want the job. Sure you do. Perhaps if I knew more about Turner's responsibilities I'd feel better about the decision that's being made for me. I assume his job involved more than lurking in the shadows and making cryptic comments. Well, Les had his hands in a few other pies, but for now, your purview is strictly the Stitchers Program. Out of curiosity, or... Self preservation, was Les's purview as head of the Stitchers Program the reason Daniel Stinger killed him? You're sneaky. You're trying to get me to confirm that Danny killed Turner. Then again, maybe I am the sneaky one for calling Stinger... Danny to... Make you think he and I had a particularly close relationship. What do I have to do to get a straight answer from this agency? Start by doing your job. - Are we done here? - I think so. Don't you? Enjoy your promotion. Oh, wow! Whoever is behind this, is crazy good. They ran an I and D scam. Oh, my gosh! It's an intercept and divert. They rigged a computer at McGuire's bank, to direct all of it's data to a local node it intercepted the transfer, sent a false confirmation that the wire transfer happened, and diverted the funds somewhere else. Probably an off-shore bank account.
Is that easy to do? By a single person? No. I think we are dealing with a super-posse of black hat experts. I downloaded the connection log from Derek's Insulin pump, it was hacked through the cellular connection. Dude, who are these guys? I don't know, but I think I found one of them. Lucy Woods. I pinged the cell phone towers near the murder site and then traced the signal back. Okay, she's the one I saw threatening Derek in the stitch. You know what we need? An interrogation room. - Why? - Because Lucy's got some 'splaining to do. Mmm-mmm. I'm not answering any more questions until somebody tells me where I am. We told you, you're in a secure NSA facility. Okay, why do I have to be brought here in a windowless van? Because it's a secret, secure NSA facility. Tell us about Derek. Specifically, his Insulin pump. Derek was so smart on his computer, but... When it came to... Real life stuff? You know, like taking care of himself? He was an idiot. What do you mean? He was diabetic, so I had to be on him all the time about that. You know, "take your medicine", "watch your diet", I was such a total bitch about it, but I was just scared, you know?
I thought for sure he was gonna end up dead one day. But I never thought that he would get hit by a car instead. I don't think she killed him. Hey, wait? Kill Derek? Why would you think that I would kill him? Someone hacked in and took control of Derek's Insulin pump. Their I.P. address matches yours. I'm not a hacker. I can't even figure out how to disable candy crush requests from my grandma. I mean, I print cat photos on t-shirts in a mall kiosk. That was Derek's world, it wasn't mine. What mall? Well, I, my friends, am impressed. Someone spoofed Lucy's I.P. address to infiltrate Derek's pump. So our super-hackers used Derek, a convicted hacker, as a front to swipe stealaglance's client list which were released, would destroy the company. Super-hackers then blackmail McGuire whom they know would gladly pay five million to save his billion dollar company. And once the money transfers, they ping Derek's pump and deliver a fatal overdose of Insulin. McGuire will never go to the police because he'd have to go public about his client list being stolen. And with Derek accidentally dead there are no loose ends. Derek was the perfect patsy for the perfect crime. That makes them hacking, framing, black-mailing murderers. A quadruple threat. Whoever these guys are, they're good. Better than you two? Don't be ridiculous. I've already traced the Insulin pump hack to a fixed address in Eagle Rock. - Let's go say hi. - All right. Get this back to Catgirl.
I don't want anything to do with that. Okay, maybe Camille got the address wrong. Or maybe Camille got the exact address these guys wanted us to have. One that leads us nowhere. Yeah, but why this nowhere? I don't know. These guys are out-thinking us, I don't like to be out-thunk. Whoever they are, they're really good. Please tell me you're not fan-girling. Well they're murderers, so no. - Hello? - You're not fan-girling? I would have thought you'd be more impressed, - Kirsten Clark of 986 Baxter Street. - Who is it? I'm your team of hackers. Only there's no team, it's just me. No way! And FYI, not every homicide is a murder. Sometimes it's justice. Look how cute you two are. Your heads all close. Do you and Cameron have a ship name yet? What does that mean? Warmer... Warmer... Warmer... Keep going. Hotter...
Bingo! You pinged our phones to pull our information. Considering you were all-American in high school, and have a 4.59 GPA in your computer science doctoral program, I would have thought you'd figure that out sooner. Maybe that leave of absence you took is making you rusty. Seeing how you know our names, why don't you tell me yours? Well, that would be cheating, and I hate cheaters. Oh, this isn't a game. Isn't it? Okay, tell me something, why Derek? There are dozens of hackers you could've used to blackmail McGuire. Well, that's my business. You tell me something, why do you care? That's my business. I think I like you. Okay, then let's meet. We'll talk this out. Ooh, girls' night? Sounds fun. Find me, and we'll chat about whatever you want. Sounds good. I will see you soon. Are you sure you want to do this? Oh, game on! Okay. Oh, and Kirsten... Be careful what you wish for. My name is Ellie. Please? Please, just let me do this.
My computer, my rules. You don't like it, there's the door. Yeah, leave my Fishy alone. He's having fun. Don't forget to torque your waist. I'm torquing! He actually looks like an ape playing piano. Yeah, come on old man. At the rate you're trying to log into the LAPD system, even I could hack in faster. Maybe, but then I'd have to shoot you. - Fair enough. - And, I'm logged in. Okay, I'm looking at Derek Steelman's file. No connection to anyone named Ellie. Anyone with the first name Ellie arrested? Yeah. Only about two hundred in the last five years. Hmm. Well, this was fun. Oh, where are you going? We've got seven hours until the refractory period's up. We'll stitch back in tomorrow and see if we missed anything. Until then, my new bike is calling. - You're buying a bicycle? - Motorcycle! - You know how to ride? - Uh-huh. How hard could it be? As we bid farewell to the wild one. Yeah, we better not.
I can't believe all of this was done by one person. Ellie left no digital breadcrumbs for us to follow, but she did make one big mistake. - What? What's that? - She spoke to me. Oh, come on. You're not so bad to talk to anymore. Ellie said that killing Derek was not a homicide, it was justice. She also said that she hates cheaters. And she likes games. Okay so, maybe she and Derek were competing, he cheated, and that's why she killed him? A hacking competition? Is that even a thing? Maybe. But why target stealaglance for extortion? It's a website entirely devoted to cheating with very deep pockets. - It is the perfect symbolic target. - True. -Hey! -You know I have a lot of research to do, and if I have to watch you typing away with two fingers again, I'm literally going to scream. Torque, woman! Nice! Oh, God, please tell me that one worked. I'm sorry. This one was also canceled. And your bank card shows insufficient funds. As in none. But... how is it possible that all three of my credits cards are... - You bitch.
- Excuse me? No, sorry not you. A different bitch. I gotta go! Can I get my cards back, please? What? The bank instructed us to cut the cards, but if you got a complaint, I'm sure there's a bitch at the bank you can talk to. Okay. They cut up all your cards? Even your super-special black one? Especially the little black one. Ellie hacked my accounts. I pissed her off and she took it out on you. Look, we will get your credit straightened out tomorrow. In the meantime, I researched every hacking competition around the world, and I pulled up a list of names. Derek or Ellie on the list? I can't tell. Most of them compete under aliases. But I'm cross-referencing them now. Wait, wait. How do we know she's not listening to us right now? Well, frankly, I hope she is. I'm coming for you, Ellie. Okay, just in case we're not being paranoid, let's try not to make evil hacker lady mad again, huh? I thought your new policy was not to live in fear? And I thought your new policy was not to do anything reckless. - Anything new about your dad? - Unfortunately... Within three hours of the taxi dropping him off at the terminal, there were 80 flights going to 67 cities in 34 different countries.
Over ten thousand passengers, and it seems he used a fake name. - So he could be... - Anywhere. Wait, someone's here. Hold on. - Kirsten Clark? - Yes? We have a warrant for your arrest. On what charge? Violation of California Penal Code 647 PC. Prostitution. Cameron, I think I have to call you back. Yeah. - Where are they? - Oh, the cops? They left. You got ellied. Yes, I did. I got ellied. So why aren't you in a holding tank downtown, with a dozen ladies named Trixie? Well... The arrest warrant disappeared from the LAPD server. Ellie didn't actually want me to get arrested, she just wants to show me how good she is. Oh! She's really good. Yeah! She managed to freeze every bank account I've ever owned. I'm poor now. I don't care for it. What?
Oh, speak of the devil. We were just talking about you. Good things, I hope. Ah, no. Not really. Come on. This is like that Star Trek episode where Kirk and the Romulan Commander battle each other but in the end develop a deep, mutual respect. Ah, I have no idea what you're talking about. -I do. -FYI, Cameron wasn't being paranoid. I was listening in on your call. And to be honest, for someone who says she's "coming to get me", you're doing a lousy job. I'm just getting warmed up. Cameron, I know you're listening in. So sorry about those credit cards. Oh, no, it's fine. Once Kirsten catches you, I'll just make you into pieces. Any idea when that might be? I hope not right now, because I have bigger fish to fry. Which is actually an apt analogy. What are you talking about? Well, it would seem from your frequently dialed list that you're good friends with Linus Ahluwalia. Yes? I love that smart apartment he just leased. They're so easy to hack. - What have you done? - Not much. Just started a gas flow from his stove top and then upped the voltage in his unit. In theory, when he flips the wall switch the power spike should cause his fancy led lights to blow out and trigger a gas explosion.
But, yeah. That's just a theory. Call Linus! Pick up the phone, come on! Pick up, pick up, pick up! We're sorry. Your call cannot... She blocked his line. Let's go! Let's go! Smart locks. I love this place. No! Do you smell gas? You startled me. All I'm saying is that Ellie is a hacking ninja. and that you and Kirsten could learn a few things from her. She's a murderous psycho, who, if I'm remembering this correctly, just tried to kill you! Yeah! Wait, why did she try to kill me? To toy with Kirsten. Because you're expendable. Thanks. Okay. There you are. What took you so long? Anyone else ever get an idea while in the shower? Sometimes I get an idea. Yeah, me, too. But not every time I shower.
Oh, God, no! That's too many ideas. Oh, my God. Continue. Ellie is not just a hacker, she's like a hacking ninja. Told you! She deleted every online trace of her existence. But the one thing that she couldn't touch was Derek's memory. Yeah, but we don't know enough about Ellie to find those traces. - She's a cipher. - Here's the idea I had. What if stealaglance wasn't a symbolic target? What if Derek betrayed Ellie but felt really badly about it. Like really badly. Where does guilt manifest in the brain? The lowermost part of the frontal lobe in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Okay, so we look in the ventro-whatever for guilt markers. Five bucks says that's where we're gonna find Ellie. Look at you saying words. Hold on. All of you give me your phones. Ellie's tracking your movements using them. I'm not going to risk a repeat of what happened to Linus. Analog? Nice! - No. - This isn't up for discussion. Ellie wants to talk to me and right now our only link to her is my phone. And if she uses her connection to you to kill one of us? Would you be able to live with that?
No. That's why I won't let that happen. Okay, be careful. - What do you see? - Derek's wedding. There's no record of Derek ever being married. Who's the lucky bride? Hold up. We just took a turn into hot 'n heavy-ville. Derek and his wife are in the bedroom and they're not sleeping. Whoa. That is not his wife. Busted! Derek's wife just caught him in bed with another woman. You ruined us with some stranger. On a stupid website? The wife is Ellie. She and Derek were married and he used stealaglance to cheat on her. I should've hacked into your computer a long time ago. Can you see their address anywhere? Where are you now? At their house. Different day. Ellie burned everything that reminded her of Derek and left it for him to find. 1477 16th street. Looking... I'm bouncing. - Well? - Well... According to property records, the house is currently owned by a Lorna Beliansky.
Let me guess, no record of Derek or Ellie ever living there? None! Well, maybe Lorna has some answers. Thank you for coming, Mrs. Beliansky. Are you sure I don't need a lawyer? You're not in any trouble Mrs. Beliansky. Then why did you being me here in a windowless van? It's just something we do. Agent Goodkin and I are looking for information on the previous owners of your house. Derek and Ellie Steelman. Gosh, I never met them. - I have to take this. - But... Hello, Ellie. Where did you go with Mrs. Beliansky? You seem to be someplace off the usual cell network. We took her into my secret underground lair. Ooh. I'd love to see that sometime. I'll give you the address and you can come over. Walking into a trap is your thing, not mine. The neighbors told me they got divorced, but I'm not sure if that was before or after her accident. What accident? Tell me something. Did you feel better after you murdered Derek? Did killing your husband serve justice? Ex-husband. No, wait! I'm curious, how does someone, even as good as you, find all that time to plan what you did? It must have taken weeks, months.
Fourteen months. Well, here's my guess, you had all that time because you have nothing else to do and no-one else to do it with. You're all alone. That's why you keep calling me because you want somebody to make you feel like you're still worth talking to. Okay, so the day Ellie broke up with Derek, she rolled her car off the side of the Pacific Coast Highway. So three years ago there was a single accident like that. A woman named Linda Edwards rolled her SUV off the side of PCH. Linda Edwards. L.E. - "Ellie." - Yeah. Ellie can't be Linda Edwards. No, she has to be! But she can't be. Linda Edwards died three years ago in UC Santa Monica Medical Center. No, it's the only thing that makes sense. - What makes sense? - You should be home, resting. That's what I tried to tell him. I'll rest when I'm dead and buried. Medical records show that Linda Edwards died from her neck injuries suffered in the accident. So we're back to nowhere again? Dude, Fisher, you're a genius. Linda Edwards was... Is an expert hacker. I mean, they are hackers are all over the web, buried. They don't leave an obvious footprint. So what if Linda Edwards didn't die but instead stole the hospital records and the identity of someone who did? I mean, who would know? Dude, Cameron, you're a genius.
I totally missed that. Okay, I'm cross referencing deaths at UC Santa Monica Medical Center with recent bank activity. - How quickly can a quantum computer... - Got it! That quickly. Three people died at the Medical Center the same night Linda Edwards supposedly did. - And bank activity? - Well... Of the three people who died, Sarah McGurk sure orders a lot of takeout. It's Linda. It's gotta be. Okay, she lives in an apartment building just a few blocks away from here. Okay, Kirsten, Cameron, go with Maggie to the building to pick up Ellie. Good to have you back, Quincy. Camille, pull up everything you can on the building, floor plans, schematics, access codes. - I'm on it. - What about me? You... get me a donut and a cup of coffee. Got it! I'm back. Uh, that way! Linda Edwards? NSA. Open up. What is all of this? She faked everything except the accident. I saw a medical transport van downstairs. Fisher! Shut down all of the elevators in the building. On it!
Everybody, please stand back! Fisher, we're in position. Release the kraken. Hello, Linda. Hello, Kirsten. I heard you won't talk to anyone but me. Why didn't you tell me you were with the NSA? I thought you knew everything about me. Apparently not. How did you find me? You knew things only Derek knew. I played the game to win. And you played it for a whole different reason. You let your emotions get in the way of your reasoning. You wanted a friend. I didn't find a friend, did I? No. Do you know how many times Derek came to the hospital after my accident? Zero. Nobody came. Every friend I ever had either betrayed me or left. I'm sorry. But I'm told you're going to get the help you need. Ah! Really now? How did you beat me? I cheated. I have access to technology that gave me an advantage. That wasn't it. You found me because I didn't really want to disappear.
Let's say I was trying to find someone who did want to disappear. How would I do that? Your father? Your finances are a disgrace. My wife will be sorry she wed me. Your wife deserves better. I'm with child again. Is Ross glad? I've not told him. Are you stalking me, Dr Enys? Not at all. A short while ago, I pointed this at my head, and since then, have been trying to decide whether to do it again. Why would you not have come home, Francis? I am coming home. It's common sense to testify against him. No, sir, I never said them words and I never thought 'em neither. We find him not guilty on all three charges. In failing to get him hanged, you have left yourself exposed. There is one thing I do desire. A child in the crib. Do not wish it with our future so uncertain. Come on. I applaud your foresight. It's as well to be prepared. For what? Any encounter with those who might...wish us ill. Ross Poldark would not dare lay a finger on me. Even though we tried to get him hanged? We failed.
Did you forget? Ah, but on that score, there are other ways to choke a man. And if the rumours about his finances are true, it shouldn't be difficult. Well, I look forward to hearing of your progress. Yes? Beggin' yer pardon, Cap'n, sir. There's a letter for ye, sir, if it pleases ye. Ah, the ole Trevorgie workings? 'Tis a fine thought, sir. What is? Whatever 'ee was thinking, sir. I'm thinking of thrashing you from here to Sawle. Aye, sir. Well, whatever 'ee say, sir. Much obliged, sir. 'I write to remind you that your loan of £1,000, 'with interest at 40%, is shortly due for repayment. 'Your friend, Harris Pascoe.' - All I need! - What is? Jud. His grovelling is killing me! Are you away somewhere? To Truro, for the Wheal Leisure shareholders' meeting. Just, since the trial, I've scarce seen you, let alone had time to speak. You always seem about some business or other. The mine, the harvest. Would you have me neglect our affairs? - No, Ross. - We'll talk soon. I promise.
Gentlemen, welcome to the quarterly meeting of the Wheal Leisure shareholders. Now, before we begin, I must make you aware that Mrs Jacqueline Tregidden has sold her shares to a Mr Coke. Since Mrs Tregidden has always trusted us to do our business without her interference, let's hope this gentleman will do the same. If... Good day to you, gentlemen. My name is Tankard, acting on behalf of Mr Coke. Mr Warleggan, more like. Pray, go on with the business, sir. I'm most eager to hear what you have to say. Oh, shield your eyes, my boy! The dazzle of Warleggan livery can blind a man! George has invited us to a soiree. I've sent our regrets. No, no, no. No, surely not. Pray, convey our delight in declining his invitation. Now then, boy, would you like to do your lessons, or help me in the fields? - The fields! - The fields is the correct answer! Gentlemen, it's been four years since we opened Wheal Leisure. We started with 50 men, now we employ 100. We're not prosperous, but we consistently show a small profit. Though we're not getting fat on it. But that could change if another lode of copper could be found. Mr Henshawe? 'Tis common knowledge that the ancient Trevorgie workings - abandoned a half-century ago when the owner died - were never worked out. The old shafts caved in long ago. 'Tis impossible to reach from above grass, but if you look at this old map, compare it with the current map of Wheal Leisure workings, you'll see that we've extended considerably in the direction of Trevorgie. My proposal is this - we divert our quarterly profits into starting an exploratory tunnel to see if we can join up the old Trevorgie workings and access the untapped copper. And who's to do the digging?
Will it take men away from the day-to-day workings? Can you guarantee that copper will be found? How will this affect my client's dividends? As you know, sir, there are no guarantees in mining. Mr Henshawe will personally supervise the venture. A small team, including myself, will be led by Zacky Martin. And we'll take on six extra men to cover them. Well, I can't see the harm in it. I doubt their wages will bankrupt us! - No, you can be sure o' that, sir. - I'm in favour. Who's with me? Motion carried. Mr Aukitt and Mr Tankard declined. Cap'n McNeil. Mistress Poldark. Have you recovered from your husband's ordeal? I give thanks daily for his acquittal, sir. Doubtless he's a wiser man for it. No more sailing close to the wind. Well, you know Ross. - Is he home? - In town. I'm in the neighbourhood at the behest of Unwin Trevaunance, advising on matters of local security. But I trust I may drop in and take a glass of rum with my old army comrade, or, indeed, my old comrade's wife? Allow me, ma'am. Thank you. George Warleggan finally has a spy in the camp. It was bound to happen eventually. But provided the other shareholders hold firm,
Tankard and George can be kept in check. Well, it's the last thing 'ee need now with all the rumours going about. - Rumours? - The parlous state o' your finances. Have people nothing better to gossip about? You'll have to excuse me, gentlemen. I'll see you tonight at the mine. When's the last time 'ee took a day off? When I sat in jail awaiting trial. Cap'n Ross be home soon, I bla'. I hope so, seeing as Cap'n mcNeil has called especially to see him. Your health, ma'am. In truth, 'twas also you I wished to see, on account of your skill at cow doctoring. I've no such thing, sir. Sir Hugh Bodrugan has heard different. His prize cow Sheba is sick. He'd esteem it the greatest of favours if you'd cast your eye over the beast and prescribe a remedy. - He asked for you particularly. - I don't doubt it. May I tell him that he need not hope in vain? - Captain McNeil. - An ambush, sir! Caught off guard and in possession of the field! How are you, sir? On manoeuvres hereabouts? Quartered with Sir Hugh at Werry House, whither I'm attempting to lure your wife. To what end? Sir Hugh wants me to tend to his cow, though I say I've no skill. Can I persuade you to lend your wife to such a cause? Demelza has a mind of her own, sir.
But since she has a special fondness for Sir Hugh, no doubt she'll be over directly. If you'll excuse me, I have mine figures to attend to. Look, Horace. What beastly little hovels! Who could bear to live here? I urge you to quit this place and come to London. Loathsome sights do not distress you. I did not say I found all the sights loathsome hereabouts. Well done, my boy. He's not been right since he returned from Bodmin. He is changed and I do not know how or why. But we must be glad of it. Elizabeth Poldark "Regrets". This is Francis's doing. Why waste your time on these people? Surely, Unwin is of more use. Unwin is proving less of an asset than I'd hoped. All manner of promises made in exchange for votes, and I'm beginning to fear they've been wasted. What's the use of having an MP in your pocket if he's too obtuse to do your bidding? He is pliable. Is that not an asset? Only if yoked to wit and intelligence, which, in this case, it is not. How was the meeting? - Illuminating. - Tell me. Oh, but first, summon Tom Harry. There's another small matter regarding Poldark's manservant. When 'Is Worshipfulness, the judge, he says to me, "Mr Paynter," He says, "Did this man do wrong or no?"
And I says, "Sithee, Your Honourableness, "Ross Poldark is as innocent "as a newly-dropped babe in its first wettels." And, says 'is Majestic Honourableness, "Mr Paynter, 'tis your testimony "and your testimony alone have set this man free." Did you mislay your manners, leaving me alone to deal with our guest? You appeared to be handling him admirably. - I felt like an intruder. - Meaning what? Demelza, do you really suppose he wants you to cure Bodrugan's cow? He makes his intentions very plain. I think I ought to be able to judge that for myself. No doubt you think so. Just be careful his uniform doesn't dazzle you. It has that effect on some people. Especially a common miner's daughter who don't know any better? That's for you to demonstrate. You are detestable, saying that! - I'm sure I didn't start this argument. - No, but you never do! You just give me the cold shoulder and sour looks and despise everything that isn't up to your high-an'-mighty standards! What 'ee bin sayin' to upset the maid? I haven't the faintest idea. Demelza. - Are you well? - Quite well, thank 'ee. I came in search of Garrick. He scented a rabbit and... Garrick!
Garrick, come to! Is Ross recovered from the trial? He rarely speaks of it. And your news? The child? Is he pleased? Not exactly. You've not told him. He don't wish for another. Since Julia, he... He haven't the heart for it. And we're to blame. 'Tis not my belief. It's good of you to say so, but the fact that there's still discord between our families... There is. And I think 'twill not be lightly set aside. By Ross at least. Garrick! When we strike, it must be clean and swift and out of sight. Giss on, man! You're talking to the master now. Gentlemen, a good night's work? Well, a good deal nearer Trevorgie than this time yesterday! Go home and get some rest. None of that for the wicked! It's home to breakfast and then away to Truro. My finances require urgent attention. - Demelza. - Ross. - You first.
- No, you. I want to apologise. I've been distracted of late. But there are things I've been wishing to say to you... And I you... About our finances. My shares in Wheal Leisure are the only thing of value we have. I've begun work on this new tunnel to try and improve our chances of the mine becoming more profitable, but still, our own coffers are almost bare. It doesn't need to be like that. You're head purser at the mine. Why won't you take a wage? I prefer to plough every last penny into the mine. We have, however, a more pressing concern. Last year, I asked Pascoe to find me a loan of 1,000 pounds. The interest, at 40%, is due this week. - 400 pounds? - Yes. How is half such a sum to be found? What's to be done? Ride to Truro, see if Pascoe's managed to get the loan extended for another year. In the meantime, the more I work in the mine, the better our chances of reaching Trevorgie. And the interest? Look about you. See what you can bear to part with. Then look again. Mistress Demelza! Have you come to steal my heart? No, sir. I've come to visit your cow. It wasn't easy, but I've secured agreement for your loan to be extended for another year at the same exorbitant rate, provided this year's interest is forthcoming tomorrow.
- A mere pounds! - Quite so. She do look fair sick, Sir Hugh. What treatment has she had? Well, all manner of blisters, clysters, salves and poultices, all to no avail. But I've no doubt you'll offer better advice. I will. Start afresh with a better beast. How went the shareholders' meeting? Well enough, but for the appearance of a new shareholder. Tankard? The Warleggan proxy? You heard. Are they on a mission to own the company? No, sir. Just to own me. This cow you speak of - your Emma? Oh, she's our pride and joy, sir, so we could not let her go except at a goodly price. Well, not if the rumours be true. Your husband's financial difficulties. Of course, I'm always happy to help a friend, and I could be persuaded to pay the "Goodly price" if the terms were right. And what terms would you require? Oh, merely a kind of interest, payable here and here and here. - Sir Hugh, you forget yourself! - On the contrary... Judas, I think my dog has better manners! Sir Hugh, I believe you're wanted at the house. Urgently. Sir Hugh's a mite unruly sometimes.
Should you decide to brave his company again, I will personally undertake to protect you from his enthusiasm. I'm much obliged, sir. I'm not overjoyed to think of Sir Hugh in possession of Emma. No, nor I, but you said she must be sold, and I've secured a buyer. So, what else must go? Well, not the oxen. Without them, we cannot plough. The pigs, the chickens. - The clock. - The carpet. The settle. At least one chair. - My brooch is worth £100. - That was a gift. But it may need to be sold in the end. I wonder what Garrick would fetch on the open market? One overgrown mongrel, carnivorous. - Crockery breaker. - Stealer of pies. Do you suppose there'd be any takers? May I fetch you anything from market, Uncle? - You're going in with Unwin, are you? - Good Lord, no! I'm in need of some sensible conversation. Well, then, Hicks must escort you. Caroline, - But... you cannot be roaming about the countryside unaccompanied. No, Uncle. But if I were to go, what could I bring you?
Sugared almonds? Marzipan? You spoil your old uncle, don't you, eh? Dr Enys! What a lucky encounter. How are you, Miss Penvenen? I have a tingling in my throat. - Do you think it could be serious? - I very much doubt it. You seem otherwise in the peak of health. I hope it's not Morbus strangulatorius. If it were the putrid throat, you'd soon know it. Is that what Ross Poldark's daughter had? - He's not exactly blessed with luck, is he? - No. And that doesn't seem about to change. How humiliating it must be for him. Less for her, I suppose. I doubt either of them see it that way. Will you excuse me, ma'am? I have patients to see to. Mistress Poldark. Ross. How are you? No, you don't look at all well. Can it be the anxieties of the trial? Nor you, George. Could you have had some disappointment? None that I know of. Perhaps it is yet to come.
Ross. - How did you manage it? - It was quite straightforward. We sold pretty much everything we own. See, a real horse is much better than a hobbyhorse, is it not? Why does Uncle George not visit us any more? Uncle George is not our friend. Is Uncle Ross our friend? In time. In time, I hope he will be. You're quite the favourite with Mrs Tabb these days. She cannot abide Dr Choake. I suspect she prefers the cheapness of my remedies. Or possibly their efficacy. Aunt Agatha, Dr Enys has agreed to take tea with us. You know how she loves to hear of the latest dread diseases. Is it my imagination or is Francis in better spirits these days? Scrofula, that's it. Great purple blotches, swellings of the neck. Since the trial, you would not know him. I cannot tell if it's because Ross was saved or if something happened while he was in Bodmin. He shared your room the night before the trial. Did you notice any strangeness in mood or behaviour? Not that I can recall. From something he said, I had the feeling... You may think me callous or hysterical, but I could almost believe that Francis had intended to kill himself. Did he? Whatever occurred, be glad of it. He came to town a broken man. He returned...
Like that. Mr Paynter! Who, sir? Me, sir? Nay, not I, sir. You will recall the bargain we struck some time ago? Bargain? I never struck no such thing. I don't hold with 'em, does I? In exchange for testifying against Ross Poldark. Nay, p'raps I do recall something. Thinkin' it over, I wasn't meself in court. Maybe it slipped my mind. In which case, 'tis only fair to give 'ee back yer guineas. Ten, were it? - 15. - That is not what we have come for. - For what, then? This. You see much of Ross and Demelza? Why do you ask? I so wish our families could be reconciled, but Ross is determined to keep his distance. I wonder, might I ask you to speak to them on our behalf? What could I say? Francis is to give a supper when the harvest is in, to our tenants and friends. Would you ask Ross and Demelza to join us, to stay the night? You, too, are most welcome. I'll happily carry the invitation. I cannot guarantee how it will be received. Sorry it's not much.
Ross, I've been wanting to speak of something, but haven't yet found the right moment. Surgeon's here. - Oh, Dwight! - Hope 'ee's eaten afore! Admiring our harvest? I hope to augment it with an invitation. From Trenwith. Obviously, we won't accept. Surely we can't forget that it's thanks to them that we lost Julia? Or that George is still their bosom friend? - Is he? - You'd have us overlook it? Have I said that? No, in truth, I'm in no haste to go to Trenwith. - Then we're in accord. - It do appear so. Dead! He's dead! He's dead! He's mortal dead! Who could have done such a thing? He had no enemies. He were the sweetest, kindliest, most peaceable cove a body could meet! And ne'er a cross word did pass his lips. And now I left a widow, all forlorn, without a penny in the world. Not e'en to bury the poor soul, God rest it! There is this. When we moved him, they fell out his pockets. Gold sov'reigns? Gold sov'reigns?
Where'd he get such? Where indeed? Why, the mizzerly, mazzerly, stinkin' black worm! He had 'em about 'im and never tell'd me? - Reckon 'tis from the trade? - That's unlikely. I'll knock 'im sideways down Stippy-Stappy Lane! Then give him a rare good burying. Rum and vittles, hymns and viols, widow's weeds for poor ole Prudie. 'Tis a matter of looking respectable, 'tis. We must send the ole man off 50 ways. I've known him since I was a child. He was the most useless servant under the sun. But he taught me how to smoke a pipe and cheat at Loo. They left the money. - Yes? - Well, then it was no random attack. What, then? - Vengeance. - What for? You were in court. You heard his original statement. He was ready to testify against me. But then he did not. What if he was paid to speak against me - hence the 15 guineas - and then changed his mind? George has played us all. Would George wreck all that we have? The family, the business, now our servant? That seems to be his aim. Can we do nothing?
It suits George to have myself and Francis at odds. Perhaps we should accept the invitation to Trenwith. Are you sure, Ross? Some things cannot be mended. But some can. - This is your doing? - You're not displeased? Far from it! Cousin! It's an unexpected pleasure. Thank you for bringing him. It means the world to Francis. You look well, Cousin. Demelza. Francis. Welcome. I 'ave 'un! I 'ave 'un! I 'ave 'un! What 'ave 'ee? What 'ave 'ee? What 'ave 'ee? A neck! A neck! A neck! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Elizabeth. I was expecting a small, private gathering.
Instead, I find myself ambushed by sans-culottes! Hardly, Mama! These are our tenants and friends. Trust me, a few crusts will not curry favour when they turn on you. Ask the Marquis de Launay, if you can find his head! You look radiant, mater-in-law! Are you quite well, Francis? Never better. Come then, friends! Shall we have some dancing? Yes, I think we shall! I ordered you to scare him, not assassinate him! - Tom got a little carried away. - This is disastrous. You think Poldark will know who's behind it? I wouldn't be surprised if he's outside my house right now! How do you like my new coat? I ordered my tailor to make it the double of Prinny's! You most definitely need one, George. Well, can we go to the Penvenen party? My intended will be impatient to see me. By all means. Caroline? Come in. Caroline, my dear, are you ready yet? - Our guests will be arriving soon. - I have such a pain. But Tom Choake was here just now. Did he not bleed you? Would you have me submit to his butchery?
So, what do you propose? This is the last bottle of the '83. After that, we'll have to resort to cheap gin! Did you hear I quarrelled with George? No. What was the cause? Oh, well, these things tend to sink in slowly. At first, you barely notice, and then, one day, you wake up to the realisation that the man who's been your friend for years is a complete and utter blackguard. Well, I don't disagree. Indeed, I strongly believe he's behind the assault on Jud. What will you do? Till I can prove it...nothing. But when I do... - A letter for you, Doctor. - Thank you. Someone taken ill at Killewarren. Tell them to be ill at a more convenient time! It's a complaint of the throat. I must go. Elizabeth, where's my port? Lady Whitworth says that fashions in London and Bath are now verging on the indecent. - What exactly does that mean? - Bosoms! Acres of 'em, exposed like capons on a platter! You look pale, child. Are you unwell? No. No, that is, I believe I may be sickening for something. Get Elizabeth to mix you a rouge. Elizabeth goes out so seldom, she has no need of it.
It's criminal that this should be the highlight of your social calendar, Elizabeth. I know I would be driven quite mad had I only farm hands and kitchen maids to converse with. If you'll beg my pardon, I must take a breath of air. Damn it! I'm partial to a Harvest supper! Gladdens the heart to enjoy the fruits of one's own labours. Remind me when you were last in your fields with a scythe, sir? Is Miss Penvenen not here? Nor her uncle. Most irregular. Invited to supper and not a sign of the hosts! Shall we hunt them down? Ah, McNeil! What news? Can we rest easy in our beds, knowing you've purged the district of violence? I lay claim to no such thing, sir. Only last night we had a murder on our doorstep. Surely not. Captain Poldark's manservant. Paul Daniel? Where 'ee be? Do 'ee go draw th' spigot o' th' next keg o' brandy? I've an urge t' address th' conflagration. Jud Paynter. 'E were a whited sepulchre. But now 'e's passed on to flowery fields and green meads. When Paul Daniel come back, we'll raise a toast an' send 'im on his way. - He's gone! - We know that, fool! From his slab!
'Tis empty! The corpse ain't there! - What is it? What is it? - 'Tis they body-stealers! They've robbed me o' my ole man! My niece has been ill for three days. Dr Choake attended her, of course. But she grows worse and she insisted on sending for you. - Did Dr Choake attempt a diagnosis? - Quinsy. - With or without fever? - Without. But she can hardly swallow. - Is it the putrid throat? - That, we will shortly ascertain. Will you open your mouth, please? Might a servant fetch me some warm water and salt? I'll see it done directly. I think I might be able to help you, but you must keep absolutely still. Can you do that? Adams or Wyatt? - For what? - Our house in London. Caroline will want the latest thing. She can well afford it. I wonder whether it shouldn't be Wyatt? His Pantheon in Oxford Street has pleasing dimensions. Perhaps you'd better secure the lady before you start spending her fortune. Mr Aukitt.
Excuse me. Remind me, you still have shares in Wheal Leisure? Yes, I do. May I tell you a secret? Old Fred Pendarves? He was a mine captain at Grambler in my father's day. For a month now, I've had him prospecting over my land. To what end? - Ross, you know I'll never make a farmer. It's mining. At the victims home we found documents related to the case involving Miyama's father. His father's case? Miyama's father was involved in something...? Oh? You don't know about it? Miyama's father was a murderer. Miyama-sensei's father was... He's never mentioned it at all. The coverage for it lessened throughout the years. The last article regarding his fathers death was only this short. I wonder what Miyama thinks about all this? He's also been arrested for the exact same reason this time... To have something like this get dug up again now... Did you know about this? Yeah. Don't just say "yeah"! Why didn't you tell me anything? I thought it wasn't important. I am his attorney. I have a right to know anything that may be related to this case.
I'd like you to tell me everything you know. Miyama-kun's father was my schoolmate in high school. He was a strange guy just like Miyama but a very nice guy. Then one night 25 years ago... Misa-chan are you alright? Is someone coming to get you? My parents are working so... Huh? My parents are at work! Then I'll drive you home home. Get in. Are you really sure this is okay? Yes thank you. Um... please... Could you keep this a secret from my parents? Okay. Oh wait. Take this with you. I'll be going then. Thank you! Take care! The next day the girl's body was found in the woods. The police immediately suspected Daisuke. After all he was the last person who saw her. He fought to clear his name in court but was sentenced anyway. The deciding factor was video footage from the station's security cameras and Daisuke's fingerprints on an umbrella found at the crime scene. He immediately tried for an appeal but during the process Daisuke's health began to suffer and he passed away before he was able to prove his innocence. It was definitely a false charge. That's my absolute belief. It was pretty tough for him.
After his father was arrested his mom left him and ran off. Then my parents took him in and we grew up like real siblings. That's how our faces came to look so similar The world really is unfair isn't it? Then... After his father's case he held a grudge against prosecutors and decided to become an attorney? Well I think his father was part of the reason but he also just likes it finding out the truth. Alright sorry for the wait... wait what was this again? Agedashi tofu. --Right agedashi tofu. Well back to the topic he's always been a bit weird even back then. When he first came to live with us he was really quiet but my parents really adored him and he eventually got his spirits back. I see. Please don't let what happened to his father happen to him. Otherwise my restaurant will go out of business. General. Bonjour! Bonjour. C'est si bon c'est si bon. {\pos(42424)}[T/N: Bonjour = hello and c'est si bon = this is good in French.] Saba! Ca va? {\pos(43446)}[T/N: This is a pun on the word saba which sounds like the French "ca va" (How are you? ) and saba = mackeral.] Flavoured with miso. Saba flavoured with miso? Huh? You don't need to go home tonight? Don't worry I already told my wife I wasn't coming home tonight.
Akashi-san is also staying the night apparently. Miyama come back to us! Tachibana-sensei. Yes? Suzuki-san had documents regarding the case about Miyama's father in order to threaten him right? Yes. But this was the first time Suzuki-san and Miyama-sensei had ever met. How did he find out about that? Honey is Miyama-kun doing okay? I don't want to talk about your work but I'm worried about him. The situation is a bit complicated. Will he be convicted? There's a 99.9% chance he's out. But... there's still that 0.1% left. He's a good partner afterall. Good night. Ochiai. Yes? Could you help with Miyama's case? My hands are filled with stuff right now. I understand you must be very busy but without Shiga-sensei's approval... Tachibana also wanted to tell you "Ochiai-kun... work hard! What would you like me to do? Could you look up the victim Suzuki-san's company? My pleasure. You can do it? Yes! Eh? You mean before the incident? Yes.
Well there have been other guests who were picky about taste so I thought he was just another one of the ones who came by occasionally. Sensei. Yes? Here is Iwashita-san's work history. Thank you. Excuse me. When Suzuki-san ordered the course he asked for the flavour to... He said he wanted the flavour to be lighter. Apparently the stocks for Suzuki-san's company have been dropping and he's been suffering serious losses. Maybe it was because he was being watched but for whatever reason he's been spending a lot more time with Iwashita-san. Everyone thank you for doing this for Miyama! Please help him win! Got it. Tachibana let's go. Okay... where? The person who brought Miyama in to this and is at the roots of all this is Iwashita. We're going to see her. Okay. Bye! See you! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! Things will be fine. Why won't anyone bring me my own clothes? Because... you said to bring my own clothes. I meant my own! I was the only person free right now but just as you asked I brought clearer footage from the security camera. Thank you. You're crossing a dangerous bridge. I know. You're not tired?
Nope. If anything I'm enjoying this. You really are a strange one. Then could you show me the video please? Hm? What's up? Could you rewind it just a bit? Okay. Could you zoom in on Kurokawa-san? Yeah. That pocket shouldn't be pocketing out! {\pos(41642)}[T/N: Miyama is making a pun on the words "poketto" = pocket and "boke to (suru)" = to zone out. My translation is a play on "poking out" and "pocketing cash".] Then let's get straight to the point. Half a year ago a mail order company we deal with Sonken and the electronics maker SOS had to deal with information leakages. The person who hacked in and stole the information still hasn't been arrested. By the way you worked in both those companies as a temporary employee didn't you? So what if I did? You know Kurokawa Yousuke don't you? No. Stop lying to us. You'll be fine if we continue while recognizing that you two are in a close relationship yes? In the past he has been arrested for two cases of marriage fraud and two cases of money swindling. What's your point? The victims for those cases were clients from both the companies that you worked temporarily for. I just think it's a very big coincidence that the information stolen from these companies you worked for was also known by Kurokawa-san whom you're close with. Don't treat me like an idiot. Tachibana-kun please tell this information to Iwashita-san's superiors. Okay.
What do you want from me? Please take a seat. One of my subordinates has been charged in a murder case. A man named Miyama Hiroto. I believe you know him. At the home of the victim Suzuki-san documents were found pertaining to the case involving Miyama's father. Because Suzuki-san was planning to use them to blackmail Miyama Miyama used poison and killed him so the story goes. Now where did Suzuki-san get that information? Perhaps it was because you had already known about the case with Miyama's father didn't you? It looks like you dismissed your attorney Miyama. Yes. But that actually works out better for you. His dad was accused of murder you know. The son of a murderer acting as a lawyer what a joke. So what if I knew? Just earlier you asked me what we wanted from you. What we want is for you to stand as one our witnesses in Miyama's upcoming trial. You've got to be kidding me. That guy ruined my life. I refuse. Miyama actually met with Kurokawa-san and spoke to him. Then he rejected the testimony that he was to provide for you. If that had been me three years ago and I had been your lawyer I probably would've used that testimony. But let's say I did and you got off scot-free. If you asked me whether that wouldn't have ruined your life I wouldn't be able to answer. Unfortunately I don't care about what happens to my clients after but Miyama is different. He can't remove himself from the truth. I think that's also an important aspect of being a lawyer. You said that this man named Miyama ruined your life right? Well then you can also return the favour ruin his life and continue on living your life that has been destroyed or you could save this person Miyama and continue your life knowing you've done something good and fair.
Which life would you prefer? Iwashita-san the only person that can prevent this man from being falsely accused is you. Please help us. Miyama everything will be okay! Now then the prosecution may begin their cross-examination. During the initial examination the defendant has denied all crimes but according to prosecution evidence exhibit #3 the security camera footage taken during the incident it clearly shows the defendant adding in seasonings to the victims dish and then the victim falling in pain after ingesting the food. How would you like to explain that? There is no proof that there was poison in the seasonings I added. Then why did you not add any seasoning to your own food and you only gave it to the victim instead? That is a good question. You're right that part is strange! What do you mean? It's not that I didn't add any seasonings to my own food it's that I had no time to. The flavour of the salmon carpaccio was strangely light to begin with. Why was that the case? Because Suzuki-san had specifically requested the restaurant to make the flavour lighter. So you're saying despite that he still asked you to put in extra seasoning? Yes. On that day after taking a bite of the food I thought the flavour was too light and took the seasonings out of my bag. Then as I was planning to add it to my food Suzuki-san suddenly passed me his own plate and told me to add it to his food too. I thought that was weird. Why? Normally when you see someone bring out their own seasonings most people are taken aback. But despite this being the first time I had ever met Suzuki-san he didn't even bother checking what seasoning it was before asking me to give him some. Your honour. In order to refresh the defendant's memory may I present defense exhibit #6 clearer footage of the security camera footage as evidence? You may proceed. Stop it here. Do you know the man who just stood up from his chair? Yes.
He is Kurokawa Yousuke. You've met before? Yes. He was involved in a case that I was defending in the past. I see. Then let's watch the continuation. Stop it here. We can see that in order to help the victim Kurokawa-san purposely moved to the victim's back. When you saw this footage what did you think? I thought something felt off. Which part made you feel that? The part where Kurokawa-san purposely moved farther around in order to help the victim. It felt strange that during an emergency he didn't choose to take the shortest route possible. His movements also make it so that his back is facing the security camera. Yes that's what it looks like. Your honour. May we please replay the part where Kurokawa-san is moving closer to the victim? You may. Stop it. Zoom in. It looks like something fell on the ground near the victim. What is it? It looks like a pill bottle. Did you notice it the day of the incident? No I only noticed it after being arrested and seeing the clearer footage. Then after Kurokawa-san stands up we can clearly see that the bottle is gone. Can we check the video one more time? You may. Stop. It's true.
It's gone. What could have happened? Perhaps Kurokawa-san took the bottle. If we watch the video we can see that when Kurokawa-san stands up the flap of his pocket is sticking out. But if my memory is correct when he first got near Suzuki-san his pocket flap was tucked inside. You're sure about this? Yes. Can we rewind the video again? You may. Stop. It's true that his pocket flap is tucked insided here. What is the meaning of this? Kurokawa-san and Suzuki-san worked together to make it look like I had poisoned him. Objection! The question calls for an opinion! Now is not the time to be asking the defendant to give his own inferences. That's all I have no more questions. The court has no more questions. Could the defendant please return to his seat. Good job Miyama! Your honour. Before the trial began I said that there was a witness who could give undeniable support that Miyama was not the culprit. Just today she has finally agreed to appear on the witness stand. I understand it is not the custom to request for a witness at this stage but I feel she will reveal some truths that cannot be ignored if a conclusion is to be reached. Could you please allow for us to question this witness? Who is this witness? Now then would the defense please begin their cross examination. Yes. I'll just get to the point did you know that a person came to help the victim at the scene of the incident? Yes.
He was Kurokawa Yousuke. What relationship do you have with him? He is my boyfriend. Did you know that the victim Suzuki-san was planning to blackmail the defendent the attorney Miyama? Yes. I did. Did you know what he was blackmailing him with? It was about the incident involving Miyama-san's father 25 years ago. Then how did the victim Suzuki-san know about the case regarding Miyama's father? I... I told Kurokawa the information about Miyama-san's father. Kurokawa owed Suzuki-san money and was in trouble. Using that information he devised a plan to blackmail Miyama-san and take money from him and shared it with Suzuki-san. Suzuki-san was also in need of money and went along with the plan. Could you please tell us the basic outline of the plan? Suzuki-san would call Miyama-san out and after getting him to give him some seasonings he would faint. After that Suzuki-san would drink a bit of poison in order to make it look like Miyama had given it to him in order to hide the truth about his father. That was the plan. If it was just a bit of poison why did Suzuki-san end up dying? Because Kurokawa... {\alphaHFF}switched the poison. Because Kurokawa... switched the poison. Kurokawa was hoping to get rid of the debt entirely and gave Suzuki-san enough poison to kill him. Then... And then... He was hoping to blame everything on Miyama-san. Why did you keep quiet about this until now? Because a part of me wanted to see him suffer. I am sorry for everything. Sada-sensei are you looking forward to this? --What are you talking about?
We're just going to go back to fighting like always. MIYAMA IS BACK! --Eh? Welcome back! What happened? --Are you okay Miyama? You have something to say to me don't you? No. Yes you do. It starts with "T" and then you bow your head down to me. If I hadn't given you the information I wouldn't be innocent right now. You arrogant brat. I'm just speaking the truth. He's back! What a good team you make. Stop it. Madarame-san these are the clothes you lent me. Thank you. Yours too. You could at least say thank you. Thank you! I think it will suit you. Isn't it great Miyama? This is really great! --Here you go Akashi-san. 1... {\alphaHFF}10... 100... 1000... 10000... 1... 10... {\alphaHFF}100... 1000... 10000... 1... 10... 100... {\alphaHFF}1000... 10000... 1... 10... 100... 1000... {\alphaHFF}10000... 1... 10... 100... 1000... 10000... What is this? ! That's way too much! Miyama-sensei the one who asked Sada-sensei to act as your attorney was Akashi-kun.
You can pay in installments. Fujino-san please lend me some money. Having twins take up a lot of money! Natsuko-san. --Not a chance. Ayano-san. Why did I lend this to him... There's no talking to you right now. Miyama! As if. Move! Managing partner! What should I do? ! How about we do this then? Just this one time. THANK YOU! Can I speak now? It's our next client. Then I'm going to talk to them. We're leaving it to you. I'm going. Let's go. See you! ! Effect I see. could you please tell us about what happened the day of the incident? 750)} 750)}
Okay. On that day there was a Optics symposium targeted at researchers and a former female colleague named Ihara was also there. --Kikuchi-san! 0)} 0)} It's been a while! It had been a while since we'd seen each other so we had a lot to talk about. After having a light meal together I went with her to a bar. I suddenly became very dizzy. Are you okay? How about I help you home? Are you okay? I'm sorry about this. --It's fine. I don't really remember what happened after that. I had just finished my research and probably let myself get a little too loose. You're at the end and want to take things easy. I completely understand. continue. when I finally came to... so I went to check the main street. Then... It was that man! He was the one that tried to touch me! And then you were arrested right on the spot? Yes. I denied everything! But she... He suddenly forced me to follow him to a side street. He forced you? Yes. He pretended to be drunk and started touching my breasts.
I struggled to fight him off and then I ran. I'd like to press charges against him! Then... I was arrested for sexual assault. But I didn't do anything of the sort! I'm innocent! But you don't actually remember anything right? Yes... Are you sure you didn't do it? She was an ex-colleague! I would never do something like that! I can't even speak to my family... What should I do? You have two options: The first is to settle things in court and the other option is to settle things privately with the victim herself. Do you want to get out of here as soon as possible? Of course! Then I would recommend settling things privately. Privately... It will take time to settle things if your bring this to court and there is a high chance you will be considered guilty anyway. if you formally apologize to the victim and have them agree to settle things privately before you are put on trial then all charges placed against you can be dropped and you will be able to leave faster. if you agree to settle things out of court you are admitting that you were guilty of the crime. But I didn't do it! These types of cases are very complicated. it's hard for us to use that as evidence. I didn't do it! find a way to prove my innocence! please leave it to me. I understa-- don't admit to anything. don't sign any documents. I guarantee it.
Please leave it all to me. Please... Has Kikuchi-san admitted his guilt? What are the actual facts to the story? but I am terribly sorry that a member of our company has caused such trouble to everyone. 0)} 0)} Let's start the meeting right away. Eh? You worked hard today. --Same to you. You two were pretty fast. Is this guy that amazing? You don't know about him? It's thanks to his past research 10 years ago that there have been huge leaps in research on solar powered energy. There are even rumors that if his current research is a success it will completely overturn everything we know about using natural energy! You really didn't know? I see... So that's why. hurry up! What's wrong with him? Who knows? Eh? ! --Look at my daughter! --You're wife is this large? but look at my daughter. eh? --Yeah... take a look at this. that's gross! his name is Kikuchi Akio. Ihara Hiroko.
The man himself denies the claims and wants us to prove his innocence. We've got a complicated one this time... the two of them had been drinking at a bar on Kagura St. They left the bar at 2:30am. Kikuchi-san was arrested shortly after at 3am. what occurred happened in a 30min timespan. There is a chance that he did indeed commit the act. head to the site of the crime and speak to the owner of the bar. Okay. Akashi and Fujino... Can I continue? check the security cameras on Kagura st. and ask around for any witnesses. look up on the female victim. Understood. You know... I could just do this all myself. We don't know when they'll officially press charges on him so we have to hurry! Tachibana. Got it. Why is Sada-sensei suddenly making all these orders? I wonder what's going on with him. He's probably aiming for something. Looks like the Sada Farm has finally managed to get the herd nicely through the gates and past the start line. Although they can be too wild to handle sometimes... Japan's conviction rate for criminal cases is 99.9%. A person who has been prosecuted is almost always assumed to be guilty. This drama is a story about a group of lawyers who take on difficult cases in order to find the truth hidden within that remaining 0.01%. He didn't seem like the type of guy who would do something like that though. Was the girl he came with a regular? it was my first time seeing her. The first time...
What were they like? What do you mean? flirting around? 0)} 0)} but the guy was really trying to come on to her. He was trying to come on to her? That's what it sounded like to me. They were just sitting over there. Where? There. Here. Yeah. And the girl? To his left. Here. Yeah. Sit. And then? Then the guy brought his face really close to the girl... Hey! Hm? Aren't you a bit too close? I just want to know what happened! That's kind of what it was like when he was coming on to her. What did he say? I've been interested in you since back then... How much did Kikuchi-san have to drink? He was pretty drunk. If you had to rate him out of 10? A solid 9 or 10. The girl had to carry him out of here. What time did they leave?
2:30am. Did you see them out to the top? I just saw them out from here. I don't know what happened after they left. I see. could you phone Akashi-san? Akashi-san? Why? are you good with alcohol? I'm average. Why are you even asking? huh. There weren't any cameras in between the street and the alley and there weren't any witnesses around either. I said I can walk! Watch out! you started drinking since noon? Watch out! so he's acting as Kikuchi-san. But if the person acting as Ihara-san doesn't drink then... I drank the same that he did! Eh? ! let's start. What are we doing? Re-enacting the situation during the incident. Eh? Carry him. I have to carry him? if we want to use this as proof we need to do everything exactly as it was described. Start filming.
I really don't like this... hurry up and carry him. Eeh... Zitkaycarryme? what? Is it okay for her to carry me? You can really understand him. Akashi-san. Are you in there? but I'm completely sober! let's do it. It's still totally bright out right now! We can totally keep going after this! --Excuse us... Oh! You two sure are lively! --Just shut up already! He's so heavy... turn here. He's heavy! --Did you like the place we went to? just a bit more! here. lean yourself here. --Do you mean here...? --You worked hard. --I'm exhausted... The time is... Over-Kumiko. 42)}[T/N: Miyama is making a pun on the word "over" (ooba) and the name of actress Ooba Kumiko who makes a guest appearance at the end of this episode] 8000 points! I got a big one today!
Did you figure something out? Yeah. It took 45min for us to get here. it should've only taken 30min. For Ihara-san to carry Kikuchi-san all the way here before 3am should've been close to impossible. I've never seen another woman as immune to alcohol as you seem to be. Hah? So what you're saying is...? Either she used a taxi to bring him here... or maybe... someone helped her out. I get it now! The World! .... And it's gone! 44)}[T/N: Akashi is referencing an old travel/quiz show called "Naruhodo! The World" after Fujino said "naruhodo"] You want to settle things privately? The victim used to be one of our staff and I'm sure if we spoke to her she would agree to it. I wouldn't want this case to put a permanent mark on his record. He alone has spent so much on this research and if the results go through it would be a dream come true for him. I see. To tell you the truth... West Japan Glass. and I'd like to put a stop to that if I can. I don't care how much money this will take. If you can help him... I wouldn't be opposed to signing in to an investment advisory contract with this firm. Are you okay? --Of course not. That guy...
One day I'll send him to the hospital with a One-Winged Angel. which he named in reference to Sephiroth from FFVII.] Is it really true? That Kikuchi-san did something like that? but the man himself is still denying the claims. There's no way a guy as nice as him would do something like that. Did you know the victim? she worked here for a short time... but she ended up transferring to another company. That place went bankrupt didn't it? apparently. Ah... Go ahead. sorry I can't really speak on the phone right now-- just get back here right now. Eh? Here are the Out of Court settlement documents. Kikuchi-san's side has agreed to pay 10 million in compensation. These documents are to officially remove all claims you have filed against him. Everything has been settled without any problems. we'll settle the rest at a later date. thank you. Why are we settling this out of court? Didn't Kikuchi-san say he wanted us to help him prove his innocence? Unfortunately this was a request made by those supporting Kikuchi-san and the man himself also gave his permission. There is a chance a rival company might get their research patented before they do. There were holes in Ihara-san's testimony. Kikuchi-san could be innocent. --Do you get it? Claims of sexual assault are only brought to court if the victim wants it. If the claim has been dropped then there is no more case. I get it now...
What Sada-sensei wants isn't for the person to be innocent but to get the rights to that patent. What are you talking about? This is what the CEO of their company and Kikuchi-san himself wanted. It's not what I wanted. What you wanted? I said it's not want I wanted! It's not what you wanted. There's nothing that I wanted. It's not what you wanted. --It's not. We really don't see eye to eye at all. We really don't. That punk... You two have become quite the team. --I really don't think that's the point here. Thank you very much for everything. I will never be able to repay you for what you've done. Don't say things like that. You are an important person to our company as well as to me. There is no way I could've stood by and watched you suffer like that. President... It's good you were able to get out without any further difficulties. into a reality. Thank you! Let's go. Thank you for acting as my attorney. Are you really okay with this? Everyone is hoping for my research to succeed. Excuse me. Can I ask you one thing?
Would you say you're good with alcohol? Yes... I think I am. But you had managed to drink to the point where you lost your memories? I guess so... He was tired. He constantly buries himself in his research from morning until night. Are we done here? Let's go. Good work today. Good work today. this won't last Thank you for your hard work. Same to you... Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. You too... while I was gone... --We put the results over there already. welcome back! This is really great! your father's home! I'm back. You're the worst. Coming back after settling things like that. I didn't actually do it. So why did you say you did? There was nothing else I could do. You're fine with lying like that? You're fine with saying you did something you didn't even do? I believed in you and ignored what everyone else at school said about me!
How could I be happy that you came home because of a lie! Eri! Eri! where's the owner? Hah? Where is the owner? he's at a casino in Macao. A casino? He said he'd be staying for a night and two days. but does this bar always play the music this loudly? we do. That's what it sounded like to me. They were just sitting over there. What did he say? I've always been interested in you since back then... do you know Ihara Hiroko? Eh? This person. the boss's girlfriend. Is that so... There is no way he could've heard what they were saying at the counter like that. are dating... Things are looking pretty fishy... Everything the bar owner said was pretty much a lie. Hiro-kun! I came to see you! --How annoying... this is my seat. Really? There are other seats open though. gets to sit here. She's your girlfriend?
Not at all. He denied it. For now! It's an afro restaurant for afros about afros! It's Apollo! Apollo Sugawara] sorry! How was it? Apparently Nemoto has a pretty big dept to payback to some money lenders. Even though he's in debt he's still going to a casino...? Something suspicious is definitely going on. That 0.1% is finally becoming clearer. Hiroto. Sorry. --It's fine. --Thanks a lot. 238)}Miyama's Special Appetizer Plate It's good! It's done! This is good! It's a hundred times better than when I make it. --Don't say stuff like that. Even though we've got the same blood in us your sense for this is on a whole other level. Same... blood? Yeah. Yeah. EEH? ! you didn't know? We're just cousins though. Even that is hard to believe.
I agree. Sometimes the world is just really unfair. But I think our noses at least... --Look nothing alike. But maybe if he got an afro... Which I'd never allow! Could we bring this to court and prove that I'm innocent? but we can't do that anymore. What do you mean? the case is considered closed. You cannot bring it back to court and try to get a different ruling. So you're saying I will never be able to prove my innocence? Unfortunately... There is one way. You could sue them instead. What do you mean? It's called a "Badger Game". worked together to trick you and make it look like you had sexually assaulted her. If we can find concrete evidence to support this then you can sue them for framing you. Do you remember anything? For now let's just walk until the location of the incident. Okay. 000yen? Yes. The rights belong to my company so... you don't mind? I might not be living a life of luxury but I'm making enough to support myself comfortably. there's no other place for me to conduct my research. Although... Although? About half a year ago I was head-hunted by someone overseas.
But now that the president has helped me out of this case I'm planning to decline their offer. Who knew about this offer? Just me and one other researcher whom I'm close with. A green taxi! Eh? There was a green taxi that had parked nearby. Right around there! You're sure about this? Yes. Alright. let's stop every green taxi that passes by. Hah? ! If there was a taxi stopped here that means the driver could have witness what happened with Kikuchi-san. Their dashcam might have even caught a video of what happened. Hah? ! How many green taxi's do you think there are in Tokyo? We'll never know if we don't try. hurry up and call the others. Hah? Hurry! sorry. But on the 6th at around 2:30am did you stop around here? I didn't. Then... Did you see a taxi that stopped over there? I didn't. Did you hear anything about a taxi stopping here? Nope.
Then what about-- I said I didn't stop here! I don't know anything! --I'm sorry! Excuse m-- I wonder why it hurts so much... --What the hell? ! --I'm sorry! This is impossible... There's no way we'll find it. We still have plenty of time! The night is still young! Here you go. --We should be sleeping. --I want to take a bath. Thanks... --You can't energize people with candy you know. It's scary asking all of them... Eh? oh... this is bad. Are you the guys asking around for taxi's around here? we don't know. --Yes. You're clogging up our radios! All we keep hearing about are a bunch of people asking around for green taxi's. we didn't mean anything by it. --Please forgive us! Please forgive us! We're sorry!
It was at night on the 6th? Eh? Huh? that's right. There was a green taxi that stopped over there cause they got into an accident with a bike. Do you know the company of that taxi? Meiji Automobiles. Thank you very much! --Thank you very much! --You're such a nice person. You're a god! Have some candy! And mine! Mine too! --I don't need that many... wait...! Is it really okay for me to take all this? We haven't overlooked anything. --Nothing. --Absolutely nothing. --We've got everything set perfectly. --Will everything be okay? Sada-sensei will be surprised. He will be. What? What happened? Good morning. We've been waiting for you. We know who was the culprit for Kikuchi-san's case. That case is already settled! Didn't I tell you?
Eh? Kikuchi-san came and said that he wanted us to help prove he was innocent after all. Why didn't you tell me? I forgot. But let's put that aside for the important stuff. That is important stuff! take a seat. He came himself? Yes. Yesterday? Yes. Why didn't you tell me either? --We've uncovered quite a few lies. --Eh? Take a look. some irrefutable evidence. watch this. Here is a taxi that is pulled over on the night of the incident because it got into an accident. This is the footage from the taxi's dashcam. Here. said she carried Kikuchi-san all by herself but there were actually two people who carried him Nemoto-san. Next thing. Nemoto-san said that at the bar Kikuchi-san was clearly coming onto Ihara-san but if you go to the bar during their hours they play music so loud you can't even hear the person sitting beside you. Nemoto-san shouldn't have been able to hear Kikuchi-san and Ihara-san's conversation at all. Nemoto-san said this was the first time he had seen Ihara-san but the two of them are actually in a relationship. --She's the boss's girlfriend. despite having a huge dept to pay back to money lenders Nemoto-san continues to travel to Macao and play around in casinos. Ihara-san left Udo's company and moved to another research company that company went bankrupt in the summer and she is currently jobless. So what are you trying to say?
The link between the two is they both needed money. So they decided to work together and trick Kikuchi-san out of his money which has led to the incident we have now. So the motive was money. Kikuchi-san has a patent on his research so he must have a couple million under his belt. He's the obvious prey. --It's easy to see. right? You're actually wrong though. About what? 000yen from his research. Eh? 000yen? Yes. 000yen? 000yen? --Yes. Not in American dollars? No... Not just as a pre-payment? 000yen? --No. Yes. 000yen? YES! but Ihara-san worked in the same company and should have known that he only received that amount. Money really is a terrifying thing... 30)}[T/N: Sada is repeating a pun Miyama made in episode 2] As expected of Mr. Monopoly. why would she target him? They didn't have any guarantee that they could get any money from settling things privately.
That's true. But what if they did have that guarantee? Hm? So that's what it was... When Ihara-san saw that the compensation fee was 10 million yen she didn't even blink and signed it right away. Really? Normally someone would be like "10 million? ! If it was me I'd definitely have freaked out. --Right? Who was it that proposed settling things Out of Court? But these are all still just speculations. We still have to prove it. How are we going to do that? There's.... ...no way! No way? ! Sada-sensei? Togawa-kun. Yes. Call the bar owner and the victim here at the same time. The same time? Then... right? What are you planning on doing? The only way to prove this is to get a confession from the people themselves. Can we get them to do that? But to do that we need to play one more card don't we? You're right. Huh? We're actually matching up today for once Sada-sensei.
Because that's actually the only way! It's pure coincidence! to do this we can't just have you guys with your scared-looking faces all the time. Nice one! Ochiai Yes? O-chi-a-i Y-e-s? Who's breaking up my game? --I'm sorry. Check! Y-Yes! Come in. Excuse me. Welcome! What have you come for today? I'm sorry for calling you here you when you're busy. You'll receive your remunerations for this after we're done. This will be over before you know it. I'm sorry for bothering you when you're busy. it's fine. please follow me. Okay. She's arrived. Excuse me. He's here. but there's been an oversight on our part and we need you to check if everything is okay and sign one more time. I understand. Kikuchi-san must have been quite heavy. Did you get injuries from carrying him?
it was hard carrying him by myself... but could you take a look at this for a moment? It's footage from the dashcam of a taxi that was at the location. You just said that it was hard carrying him by yourself didn't you? but about halfway through we carried him together. Halfway through? Yes. Until when? I don't really... could you please tell us the truth? This is the truth. Have you met the girl who was assaulted before? it was the first time she'd ever come to my bar. And you don't know where they went after they left the bar? they left and then I started cleaning up right after. Please take a look at this. didn't you? What? aren't you? What is this about? that's it Staying silent won't help your situation you know. There's nothing I have to say. Excuse me. That's what he said? Yes. So that's what it was. Is that it? Wasn't there something in it for you too? Is that so? This is getting quite complicated. I see.
She said there was an easy way for me to pay back my loans and dragged me into it. I see. did Kikuchi-san get drunk on his own? I put some sleeping pills into his water and gave them to him... Well that won't do. Looks like we have you tied up. I was just doing what she was telling me to do! It was all her idea! isn't that right? I did no such thing. Excuse me. Sleeping pills? Yes. With sleeping pills? Yes. Seems like your boyfriend has pretty loose lips. Are you sure you won't start talking? If you want to continue to stay silent that's fine as well. Miyama. Got it. and have you charged for commiting a frameup. For cases like this where there was obvious malicious intent... but may even have to spend some time in jail. Also you might have to pay up to hundreds of thousands in compensation. there will be a higher chance that you may be exempt from the prison sentence. We will also try to see to it that you will not need to pay for the compensation fees yourself. will you tell us the truth? You were ordered to do this by someone were you not? Will you really try and make my sentence lighter? I promise. I apologize for asking you to come here so suddenly. Please take a seat.
The contract for the new patent is still going to take a while you know! Of course. what did you want to talk to me about today? please look at this. You can move closer if you'd like. This was footage taken from a dashcam on the night of the incident. This is... conspired to frame Kikuchi-san with sexual assault. would you like to? we've already settled things. I thought this case was over? What has ended was the sexual assault case against Kikuchi-san. What do you mean? The two of them set up this incident by themselves. It could be considered a scam. I see. right? Isn't that right? I will appear in court. You'll be wasting your time. What about your research? Are you going to ignore your colleagues who you've worked so hard and long with? In regards to that... Actually I have something to say about that. Tachibana. --Yes. This is in regards to the patent you received for Kikuchi-san's new lens. everything will be handled by Sada-sensei. This can't be! You can't just do something like this without permission! --That is true if this was between us and your research company.
But if he quits your company and completes his research in another company then... That can't be... You're not actually planning on moving to JanOptics are you? Huh? What's this? How did you know that Kikuchi-san had been head-hunted? That's because... Because...? do you understand how important you are to me? That's why I've helped you so much and even thought of you as my own son! --Did you really think that? why didn't you give him any of the money he earned from the research he had worked so long and hard for? It's only natural the company would have the rights to that! According to Article 35 the amount that the inventor should have received is a very large amount. It's in the hundreds of millions. 000yen? we're not talking chump change here! Those who have achieved something should be rightly rewarded for their work! We also heard from West Japan Glass that the research on their new lens has barely even started. You didn't insist on settling things out of court for Kikuchi-san's sake. You did it for yourself! What proof do you have to make these claims? You heard rumors that Kikuchi-san had been head-hunted and didn't want to lose him. But you also didn't want to pay him more than you already are. and buy his gratitude so that he would never leave the company willingly. I've heard enough of this! We've already heard the whole story. From those two. come in. who Miyama referenced earlier] who thought up this idea in the first place?
--President Udo. --Udo-san. it's your move now. I am going to take you to court. president Udo Katsutarou conspired with one of his former employees and her friend to commit this offense. has been proved innocent. Cheers! Isn't it great honey? Right Eri? to celebrate can you give me some money? Huh? I'm going to Disneyland with my friends next week. this isn't just spare change you know! --Please! you're always asking for more allowance all the time! --I'll bring back souvenirs! --We don't need souvenirs. Excuse me. Looks like Sada-sensei was able to sign a new contract with Kikuchi-san's research team and the company they moved to. I wonder if that's what he was aiming for at the start... Who knows... You were calculating what advantages you could gain no matter which way this case went weren't you? Who knows? The Sada Farm has become quite a good one. Although there's one horse who has completely different views from the stable leader. but I still think he's a good horse. All you need for a good horse is Sada-no-Win. If you'll excuse me. 230)}Miyama Daisuke 368)}Miyama

I failed? ! F-F--! --You failed. F----! I remember seeing a scene like this last year too. I was so sure... Would you like some candy? As if!

You're going to drop the charges? 0} 0} He had a pretty clear motive didn't he? The victims testimony was not very reliable. It seems you've gone soft... losing cases left and right like this. That is not the case. come out with me tonight. Chief Otomo would like to have a word with you. Of course. Excuse us. Excuse us. Take a seat. Excuse me. Excuse me. Thank you. Thank you for the food. Ouch! Are you okay? thanks. The amount of cases you've been handling that haven't gone through seems to be increasing lately. The cases I've dropped were ones that wouldn't have succeeded during the trials anyway. And also I... --And?
If that's the case you just need to get one. A confession. that's when things can get rolling. The police work hard getting the victim's story and doing ground investigations before they pass the culprit on to us. Don't just brush of their hard work like that. You should listen to the victim's story carefully. Once you're sure that there are no lies you should immediately identify a suspect. Show more conviction! hello? it's good to hear from you. okay. Are you leaving now? Yeah. Marukawa. Yes. right? Yes. right? Yeah. The attorneys handling that one won't get off our backs about it. They're giving Superintendent Jujo quite a few headaches. could you look at the documents again? I understand. Thank you for all your hard work today. Thank you. What are you doing? ! You were the one that killed him! made it! Things always work out in the end.
Wait! Oi! Oi! What do you want? ! Stop it! --Damn you! let me go! Let me go! Stop it! --You were the one that killed him! Hello?

I thought you might go and visit his grave in Kanazawa. so leave some for him. I'm not going. You're not going? I'll take the riceballs anyway though.
You're still going to take them? See you. it's supposed to rain. No it won't. It will. you know! There's not enough salt... Hiroto. not clapping. 24)}[T/N: Miyama's dad is making a pun on the word "rugby" (ragubi) and "yawn" (akubi).] Itadaki...{\alphaHFF}mongoose! Itadaki...mongoose! This is really delicious! --It's just normal... Miyama-kun. Huh? Madarame-san? Why are you here? I've always like rugby since my younger days. my grandson is practicing right now. the one that's about to kick off. That one! Is that so. Even though it's your day off you're still wearing a suit? I have three sets of this. Sada-kun will be going on a holiday starting the day after tomorrow. Apparently he's going to Monacco for a week with his family. I'm hoping you'll be able to handle everything while he's gone. I'll still be the same.
Hm? Is someone with you? No. Feel free to have one if you'd like. Is it really okay? thank you. There's not enough salt on them though. That's fine. I'm off. hello? Yes. I understand. Miyama-kun! We've got a request. Okay. 30 years old. Last night in a parking lot in Koto-ku he got caught in a fight. Footage from a nearby security camera caught Tanishige-san hitting the victim.

are you feeling okay? are you okay? He killed him... please pull yourself together! could someone please come in! Tanishige-san! What happened? Are you okay? Japan's conviction rate for criminal cases is 99.9%. A person who has been prosecuted is almost always assumed to be guilty. This drama is a story about lawyers who take on difficult cases in order to find the truth hidden within that remaining 0.01%. He's in a coma? Yes. What happened? Internal bleeding in the brain. There's the possibility that he had received injuries to his head for unknown reasons. Looks like we won't be able to do anything until he regains consciousness. Yes... right. Where's Miyama? Wha... Why are you smiling? Tranquilo. Tran-qui-lo. 40)}[T/N: Tachibana is taking catchphrase from Japanese Pro-Wrestler Tetsuya Naito. Tranquilo translates roughly to "calm down" (don't freak out) in Spanish] Could you tell me what the situation was like at the time?
