[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?

[10:46] 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!

[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.

[12:56] 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.

[13:11] 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...

[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.

[17:43] 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!
