    Onamida Michiru, sentenced to death after
    a kidnapping incident five years ago,

    escaped two days ago.

    and her body was found in
    the trunk of a stolen car.
[00:13] Mia
    She happened to be the one whose testimony
    put him away in the trial five years ago.
[00:19] Mia
    Believing in his innocence,
    I took the court to defend him.
[00:22] Mia
    And as I pressed the eyewitness,
    Mukui Satoko,
[00:24] Mia
    I finally caught a glimpse of
    the truth behind this case.
[00:28] ME
    But why would she go to such lengths?
[00:30] Mia
    She murdered Miyanagi Yuki and
    hid the body in the trunk.
[00:34] Mia
    That's why she chose not
    to dump it in the river.
[00:37] Mia
    It was all to frame Onamida-san!
[00:42] Mia
    This murder and the kidnapping
    incident five years ago were linked.
[00:47] Mia
    Miyanagi... Chinami?
[00:49] DA
    Yeah.
[00:50] DA
    That's the name of the girl who was
    kidnapped and murdered five years ago.
[00:54] DA
    Fourteen at the time, huh?
[00:57] DA
    If she were still alive,
[01:00] DA
    she'd be around your age.

    You...

[02:41] DH
    Um, may I speak?
[02:43] Mia
    Yes, what is it?
[02:46] DH
    I'm the girl who was abducted five years ago?
[02:48] DH
    Er, what was her name, again?
[02:51] DA
    Miyanagi Chinami.
[02:54] DH
    That cannot be.
[02:56] Mia
    Can you prove it?
[02:57] ME
    That would be quite difficult.
[03:00] DH
    I was out of the country
    until the year before last.
[03:04] ME
    That's right. She grew up in a
    country with a brutal civil war.
[03:08] ME
    After her parents were killed, she
    somehow made her way back home alone.
[03:11] DH
    So I don't have anything
    that can verify my identity.
[03:15] Mia
    What kind of trite sob story is this?
[03:17] DH
    Holding a grudge and killing the
    officer who testified against him...
[03:21] DH
    What a terrifying monster.
[03:23] DH
    Come to think of it, I guess I'm
    lucky I wasn't wearing a scarf.
[03:28] J
    What do you mean?
[03:30] DH
    Mister Killer had forgotten what
    his target looked like, hadn't he?
[03:34] DH
    If I had worn a white scarf,
    I might have been killed instead!
[03:39] Mia
    Wait, "a white scarf"?
[03:42] DH
    Isn't that what you said earlier?
[03:45] Mia
    Onamida-san didn't remember exactly
    what the victim looked like.
[03:48] Mia
    That's why he needed a way to
    identify her... namely the scarf.
[03:51] Mia
    Yes, but why did you say "a white scarf"?
[03:55] DH
    Huh?
[03:56] Mia
    Does the scarf in this
    photo look white to you?
[04:01] Mia
    And here's the scarf in question.
[04:04] Mia
    It's clearly not white.
[04:06] DH
    But Miss Victim's memo said...

    Dug your own grave.
SIGN    Meet Onamida at 4:30 PM Same bridge Wear white scarf for identification
[04:12] Mia
    True, Miyanagi Yuki-san's memo said,
    "Wear white scarf for identification."
[04:18] Mia
    But why do you know about that?
[04:22] J
    Prosecutor Mitsurugi,
[04:23] J
    did you show this witness the case file?
[04:26] ME
    N-No, Your Honor. I did not authorize it.
[04:29] J
    Then...
[04:30] J
    How did you know about it?
[04:33] Mia
    The witness knew what the memo said.
[04:36] Mia
    But only two people should have...
[04:38] Mia
    Onamida-san, who gave the instructions,
[04:40] Mia
    and Miyanagi Yuki-san, who wrote the memo.
[04:42] DA
    And one more person.
[04:44] Mia
    One more?
[04:45] DA
    How could you forget?
[04:47] DA
    She's right there.

    Miyanagi Chinami...
[04:56] ME
    What?
[04:57] Mia
    "Talk to Chinami."
[04:59] Mia
    I just realized what these words truly meant.
[05:02] Mia
    She was referring to a very specific person.
[05:07] ME
    Y-You don't mean...
[05:08] Mia
    After Onamida-san called her,
    the defendant immediately spoke to someone.
[05:12] Mia
    Her little sister,
[05:13] Mia
    Miyanagi Chinami.
SIGN    Objection!

    Miyanagi Chinami was declared
    legally dead five years ago!
[05:22] Mia
    But the fact remains that her
    body was never recovered.
[05:27] Mia
    The defense asserts that this witness here
[05:31] Mia
    is the victim in the incident five years,
[05:34] Mia
    Miyanagi Chinami!

[05:51] TF
    Is that really you, Chinami?
[05:55] Mia
    Onamida-san! Please tell us!
[05:58] Mia
    Tell the court everything
    about five years ago!
[06:01] Mia
    Your Honor!
[06:02] Mia
    The defense requests that the
    defendant take the witness stand!
[06:05] Mia
    The court needs to hear
    Onamida-san's testimony!
[06:09] J
    That's certainly true.
[06:11] J
    What do you say, Prosecutor Mitsurugi?
[06:14] ME
    The prosecution has no objections.
[06:17] J
    Very well.
[06:18] J
    Bring the defendant to the witness stand.
[06:27] TF
    Five years ago, I did kidnap Chinami.
[06:34] VH
    Let that girl...
[06:36] VH
    Let the hostage go!
[06:39] TF
    Shut up!
[06:40] TF
    C-Come closer,
[06:42] TF
    and I kill her!
[06:45] VH
    Too bad for you.
[06:46] VH
    This is as far as you go.
[06:50] TF
    That woman... She betray me! Betray us!
[06:54] Mia
    What do you mean, she betrayed you?
[06:56] TF
    The kidnapping, everything...
    All make-believe.
[07:00] J
    Wh-What? Make-believe?
[07:04] TF
    Chinami... My angel. My love.
[07:08] TF
    I do anything she says.
    Anything Chinami says...
[07:14] ME
    Wait a second!
[07:15] ME
    Are you saying the kidnapping
    five years ago was planned by...
[07:20] TF
    Chinami.
[07:22] TF
    And Yuki, too.
[07:24] Mia
    M-Miyanagi Yuki-san was in on it?
[07:29] TF
    Chinami's family rich. Jewelry business.
[07:31] TF
    We get one jewel... That's what we thought.
[07:35] TF
    Chinami wrote kidnap note.
[07:38] TF
    Asked for 200 million yen diamond.
[07:41] TF
    Tell him make exchange on Dusky Bridge.
[07:45] TF
    We tell him Yuki, big sister,
     make transfer.
[07:50] DA
    I see. There's no way it'd fail with
    a police detective in your pocket.
[07:55] TF
    But Yuki betray us!
[07:59] TF
    She shot at me!
[08:01] TF
    I was shot in arm.
[08:03] TF
    And Chinami...
[08:06] TF
    She jump in river.
[08:09] TF
    The diamond in Chinami's backpack.
[08:14] Mia
    Miyanagi Chinami jumped on purpose?!
[08:17] TF
    I couldn't do it! I could never push her!
[08:22] DA
    And that's the bitter, hot truth, eh?
[08:27] DA
    After Chinami jumped, I blanked out.
[08:31] DA
    And Yuki arrested me.
[08:33] Mia
    And then you were sentenced to death.
[08:36] TF
    I never forget that trial!
[08:40] VH
    That man threw her off the
    bridge right in front of me!
[08:42] VH
    He threw Chinami, my beloved sister,
     into the roaring river!
[08:48] TF
    These five years, all I want
    to know before I die...
[08:52] TF
    Why she lie like that?
[08:55] TF
    I just want to hear answer
    come from her mouth.
[08:57] Mia
    So that's why you made such a crazy escape.
[09:01] TF
    I forget what she look like,
    so I tell her to wear scarf.
[09:07] TF
    But I din't kill her!
[09:10] TF
    I just want to know.
[09:13] Mia
    You can't get out of this.
[09:15] Mia
    You are Miyanagi Chinami.
[09:17] Mia
    Otherwise, you couldn't have
    known the contents of the memo!
SIGN    Objection!
[09:20] ME
    Objection!
[09:21] ME
    That's enough.
[09:23] Mia
    Prosecutor Mitsurugi?
[09:24] ME
    So that witness is the victim
    who disappeared five years ago.
[09:29] ME
    A shocking truth, indeed.
[09:30] ME
    But that has nothing to do with this case.
[09:34] Mia
    S-Say what?
[09:36] ME
    There's only one important thing
    to take from that testimony.
[09:40] ME
    The fact that the defendant
    despised the victim.
[09:46] ME
    The only one with a strong motive to
    kill Miyanagi Yuki is the defendant!
[09:53] Mia
    Objection!
SIGN    Objection!
[09:55] Mia
    Not so fast, Prosecutor Mitsurugi!
[09:59] Mia
    The defendant wasn't the only one
    with a motive to murder the victim.
[10:03] Mia

    "Talk to Chinami."
[10:14] Mia
    "Make everything public."
[10:16] Mia
    That's right.
[10:17] Mia
    Miyanagi Yuki-san had told you that
    she was going public with everything.
[10:24] Mia
    You and the victim shared a dark secret,
[10:28] Mia
    so you had to kill her...
[10:31] Mia
    To silence her forever.
[10:34] J
    A-And that secret would be?
[10:36] Mia
    Five years ago, something else disappeared
    along with Miyanagi Chinami.
[10:41] Mia
    The diamond worth 200 million yen
    that'd been brought there as ransom.
[10:46] Mia
    Yes. It was a setup all along.
[10:50] Mia
    A trap to frame Onamida-san and keep
    the 200 million all to herself!
[10:55] ME
    Preposterous!
[10:56] ME
    Five years ago, the witness
    was only fourteen!
[10:59] ME
    Do you think she was capable
    of such a demonic plan?!
[11:01] Mia
    Exactly!
[11:02] Mia
    This witness was a demon!
[11:05] Mia
    And there was one more person
    tormented by this demon...
[11:08] Mia
    Her older sister, Miyanagi Yuki-san!
[11:12] DA
    According to the case file,
[11:14] DA
    Onamida Michiru was actually
    tutoring the Miyanagis.
[11:19] DA
    I bet that's what started the whole thing,
[11:22] DA
    and how he was forced to go
    along with his angel's scheme.
[11:26] J
    I can't believe it!
[11:28] J
    She faked her death and pretended
    to be someone else for five years?
[11:35] DA
    Miyanagi Yuki was a policewoman.
[11:37] DA
    With her help, it would've been
    possible to arrange the paperwork.
[11:42] Mia
    It must've weighed heavily on Miyanagi
    Yuki-san's conscience these past five years.
[11:49] Mia
    That's why she contacted her sister
    after Onamida-san called her.
[11:54] Mia
    And she told her what she was planning to do.
[11:57] ME
    "Make everything public,"
    as she wrote in her memo.
[12:02] Mia
    Yes. And that is what sealed her fate.
[12:08] Mia
    Miyanagi Chinami came up with
    yet another demonic plan.
[12:12] Mia
    A plan that would ensure neither of the
    accomplices to the kidnapping would talk.
[12:17] Mia
    And that is why she murdered
    her sister, Miyanagi Yuki-san!
[12:22] J
    Order! Order in the court!
[12:30] J
    Wh-Why are you laughing, Witness?
[12:33] DH
    Forgive me. It's just hilarious.
[12:37] DH
    You're really amusing, Ayasato Chihiro-san.
[12:42] DH
    You can certainly weave an exciting tale.
[12:45] DH
    You have the evidence to
    back it up, don't you?
[12:48] Mia
    E-Evidence?
[12:49] DH
    Evidence that I, this inmate here, and the
    policewoman were all in on it, obviously.
[12:56] Mia
    W-Well...
[12:57] DH
    A make-believe kidnapping?
[12:59] DH
    Don't believe the lies of
    an inmate on death row!
[13:02] DH
    I'm the victim here.
[13:04] Mia
    But you faked your identity...
[13:06] DH
    Can you blame me? I was kidnapped, you know?
[13:09] DH
    Why wouldn't I want to go into hiding?
[13:11] DH
    I was scarred by the whole thing.
[13:13] J
    Well, defense? Do you have evidence?
[13:17] Mia
    It's impossible to prove that
    the kidnapping was staged now.
[13:21] Mia
    Miyanagi Yuki-san's murder, too...
[13:25] Mia
    I don't have any proof.
[13:29] DH
    What a joke.
[13:32] DH
    Are you stupid?
[13:33] J
    It seems that we've come to the end.
[13:36] J
    The witness's behavior does
    raise certain suspicions,
[13:38] J
    but I'm forced to reject
    the defense's assertions.
[13:41] DH
    Of course you are.
[13:43] Mia
    Is this it? Is it really over?
[13:47] DA
    This is why you're still just a kitten.
[13:51] DA
    A lawyer is someone who smiles
    no matter how bad it gets.
[13:58] DA
    Get a load of that thousand-watt smile.
     Electrifying, isn't it?
[14:02] DA
    That means things are really bad
    for our mischievous angel, too.
[14:06] Mia
    But we don't have any evidence.
[14:09] DA
    Without evidence, the trial is over?
[14:12] DA
    Who decided that?
[14:14] Mia
    Kaminogi-san?
[14:16] DA
    You can make your own rules.
[14:19] DA
    Even if there's no evidence,
    there's still testimony.
[14:24] DA
    Miyanagi Chinami killed her sister
    Miyanagi Yuki, hid her body in the trunk,
[14:30] DA
    disguised herself as her,
[14:33] DA
    and met Onamida on Dusky Bridge.
[14:36] DA
    That's what you think, right?
[14:38] Mia
    Yes, that's right.
[14:40] DA
    In that case, there's one person
    who can testify about the murder.
[14:46] TF
    M-Me?
[14:47] Mia
    Onamida-san! You've heard everything, yes?
[14:52] Mia
    I don't know what she said
    to you five years ago,
[14:56] Mia
    but Miyanagi Chinami is very much alive.
[14:59] Mia
    And you were used!
[15:01] Mia
    For 200 million!
[15:03] TF
    That's not true.
[15:05] ME
    If the defense can't present any evidence,
[15:08] ME
    continuing this trial is meaningless.
[15:10] Mia
    Please wait!
[15:11] Mia
    Onamida-san! This is our final chance!
[15:14] Mia
    Who did you meet on Dusky
    Bridge two days ago?
[15:18] Mia
    Was it Miyanagi Yuki or Miyanagi Chinami?
[15:21] Mia
    Testify to the court!
[15:26] DH
    Michiru-san...
[15:30] TF
    Chinami?
[15:32] DH
    Yes, I'm Chinami.
[15:35] TF
    Chinami... Did you betray me?
[15:39] DH
    I shouldn't need to say it.
    You should already know.
[15:43] DH
    My life is in your hands right now.
[15:47] TF
    Chinami...
[15:49] Mia
    Onamida-san.
[15:51] TF
    Miss Lawyer.
[15:52] Mia
    Y-Yes?
[15:55] TF
    My throat dry.
[15:57] TF
    Need water.
[15:59] DA
    Fine. I'll treat you to some coffee.
[16:03] DA
    It matches the words you're about to say...
[16:07] DA
    Darker and bitterer than Hell itself.
[16:19] DA
    You know how to drink a cuppa, all right.
[16:22] J
    Then, defendant, make the final testimony.
[16:25] TF
    That day, 4 PM, I stopped
    the car before Dusky Bridge.
[16:31] TF
    She wasn't there.
[16:34] TF
    So I waited on bridge.
[16:39] TF
    Finally, one woman came.
[16:43] TF
    That was...
[16:44] TF
    That was Yuki!
[16:46] Mia
    Onamida-san!
[16:48] TF
    Miyanagi Yuki!
[16:49] TF
    Not Chinami!
[16:51] Mia
    You're still covering for her?!
[16:53] Mia
    She saw you as nothing more than...
[16:55] ME
    That's far enough.
[16:56] ME
    It seems the defense's claims
    were baseless after all.
[17:00] Mia
    Are you really okay with this?
[17:01] Mia
    You were sentenced to death,
    and you'll be found guilty again!
[17:05] DA
    Miyanagi Chinami has placed a curse on him.
[17:08] DA
    He'll probably go to his
    grave still believing in her.
[17:11] Mia
    No...
[17:13] DA
    But you still have to
    press him for the truth.
[17:15] DA
    That's the curse of being a defense lawyer.
[17:22] Mia
    According to the victim's memo,
[17:23] Mia
    you were to meet at 4:30 PM.
[17:26] Mia
    You arrived awfully early.
[17:29] Mia
    You waited on the bridge for 30 minutes?
[17:32] Mia
    Onamida-san?
[17:34] TF
    I got there around 4 PM.
[17:37] TF
    But I had somewhere to go. A special place.
[17:43] Mia
    A special place?
[17:45] TF
    It's an old temple about
    15 minutes from the bridge.
[17:50] TF
    There, five years ago,
[17:52] TF
    me and Chinami promised each other...
[17:54] TF
    We swore we wouldn't betray each other,
    and to believe in each other until the end.
[17:59] TF
    She brought a memento to represent our vow.
[18:03] Mia
    A memento?
[18:05] TF
    Five years ago, I hid it
    under base of tree there.
[18:09] TF
    It's a special memory for me.
[18:12] TF
    So I went there to get it.
[18:17] Mia
    Your Honor, you heard what my client said.
[18:21] Mia
    He left his car unattended and
    walked away for 30 minutes.
[18:26] Mia
    Meaning Miyanagi Chinami could've
    murdered the victim, who arrived early,
[18:31] Mia
    and hidden her body in the trunk of the car.
[18:34] J
    Th-That's true!
[18:36] ME
    You intend to continue this farce?
[18:39] Mia
    Isn't that right, Onamida-san?
[18:44] Mia
    What's wrong?
[18:47] Mia
    Onamida-san?!
[18:49] TF
    That's enough.
[18:51] ME
    D-Defendant!
[18:53] DA
    Don't tell me...
[18:54] TF
    We promised to trust each other
    until death five years ago.
[19:01] TF
    If we can't trust each other
    no more, we drink bottle.
[19:11] Mia
    Onamida-san?!
[19:13] ME
    No!
[19:13] ME
    Your Honor! We need a recess!
[19:16] J
    Bailiffs, call the medics at once!
[19:22] TF
    I stupid... Couldn't keep promise.
[19:27] Mia
    No! We are so close!
[19:30] Mia
    So close to proving your innocence!
[19:33] Mia
    Please...
[19:34] TF
    If I'm innocent, I don't... trust... self.
[19:39] TF
    Maybe kill sweet Chinami again.
[19:47] TF
    Thanks for the coffee.
[19:57] Mia
    O-Onamida-san?
[19:58] Mia
    Onamida-san?!
[19:59] Mia
    No! Open your eyes!
[20:01] Mia
    Onamida-san...
[20:03] Mia
    Onamida-san!
[20:24] DA
    Unforgivable...
[20:26] DA
    The truth was right there in front of us.
[20:28] DA
    We were just too soft to grasp it.
[20:32] Mia
    It's my fault!
[20:34] Mia
    It's all my fault that Onamida-san...
[20:39] Mia
    I knew it! I knew I wasn't cut out for this!
[20:46] DA
    Chihiro...
[20:49] DA
    Don't you get it? You can't cry yet.
[20:53] DA
    The only time a man can cry is...
[20:58] DA
    when it's all over.
[21:02] Mia
    K-Kaminogi-san?
[21:11] PW
    And so ended Chihiro-san's first trial.
[21:15] PW
    It left no winners or losers in its wake,
[21:17] PW
    only a deep wound in the hearts of
    a young attorney and prosecutor.
[21:24] PW
    A year after this trial,
[21:26] PW
    I got wrapped up in another trial.
[21:29] PW
    The fateful trial that brought
    me and Chihiro-san together.
[21:32] PW
    Only after that did Miyanagi Chinami
    get punished for her crimes.
[21:37] PW
    The verdict handed down to her was "Guilty."
[21:41] PW
    And in that moment, she had a
    perfect, angelic smile on her face.
[21:45] PW
    It was finally all over.
[21:47] PW
    At least, that's what I thought at the time.
[21:49] PW
    Unfortunately, it wasn't to be.
[21:53] PW
    Five years later, I would come
    to learn just how wrong I was.
