October 10, 3 P.M .

Shinjuku, Tokyo

Come quickly! I just saw my robber!

Quickly!

This way!

There he is!

There he is! Capture him!

Quickly!

Arrest him already!

Hey, you. Come with us

to the police station.

It happened a week ago.

I woke up in the middle of the night

because of some loud noise.

At first I couldn't understand anything,

because it was very dark in the room.

But... but I felt there was

someone in the room!

I became very afraid.

I turned on the lamp on the nightstand

and then saw he was looking...

.. inside my purse!

I tried to scream for help, but he

grabbed a knife and tried to stab me!

You recognized me in a frightened state.

It was somebody else.

No, it was you, not someone else!

I got Yen 200,000 from by bank account

and you took them away!

You even grabbed my precious ring!

And then... then,

you even deny it!

Who took my diamond ring if not you?

Who are you?

- I'll tell you, but not now.

- What?!

I want to speak to Chief Yamura

from Criminal Investigation.

You have asked for Chief Yamura?

Thank you for coming.

Here's the one who wants to talk to you.

He won't say anything, except to you.

Does he know you?

- D'you have a file?

- Yes.

- Aren't you telling me anything?

- Give me all you've got.

A woman, by the name of Mizusawa Kaiko,

living in Tokyo,

tells that that on October 3rd,

at 2 o'clock in the night,

she was robbed in her apartment.

Money was taken.

- Anything else?

- A diamond ring. Here's the report.

All right...

Where were you on October 3rd,

at 2 o'clock in the night?

What, you don't believe me?

I believe no one.

So, where were you?

On October 3rd,

at 2 o'clock in the night,

I was sleeping,

of course.

Where were you sleeping?

Specify.

At home.

I have no witnesses.

I live alone.

Well...

Then you don't seem to have an alibi...

All right.

Get up!

Come in, come in.

You, Terada Toshiaki, told us

that you are the victim of a robbery.

On October 3rd, at 1 A.M .

while walking back home,

you stumbled upon a man in the

street who took your camera.

- Is that right?

- Yes. That is correct.

Try recognize the robber among

the other people.

Is he in this room?

That's him! It's him!

There's no doubt.

I memorized his face well. It's him,

it's definitely him.

Thank you,

you are free to go.

Now,

can I ask you who he is?

Keep him here for the night.

The Chief is hiding something...

Hey!

Tell me who the hell you are!

It's him!

It's that man!

Two people

Identified the wrong person.

Is there

someone who looks just like me?

How can that be?

How can two people be mistaken?

How can this be?

Why?

Come out, no. 7!

It seems everything's solved...

What have you done,

Morioka?

It's a completely

unprecedented happening!

You're a prosecutor,

after all!

General prosecutor...

What have I done then?

What you have done,

is only a suspicion.

A prosecutor committing a robbery

would be a big scandal in the press.

This would damage the whole

prosecutor comity.

But,

what's that got to do with me?

You are a suspect in a robbery and

you can't prove your innocence.

Your desk has been searched through.

And have you found anything?

No.

I gave out a search

warrant for your apartment.

- You will come with us.

- I hope my innocence will be proven there

Only if we find nothing,

but that will not close this case.

Mizusawa and Terada

are investigating...

.. so we can find who you really are.

This is the end of this discussion.

Please, put on your shoes.

Take his handcuffs off.

I'm taking responsibility.

I make my own calls.

All right.

Then I'm asking you,

because I don't

like a prosecutor in handcuffs.

- Canon EF camera.

- What number?

It's 110926.

It's the same.

It's the same camera.

What are you saying?

I don't know where it came from,

but it wasn't here yesterday!

- Hosoi.

- Yes.

- The ring, the money.

- Yes.

Please believe me, General Prosecutor,

this is all a set-up!

Someone else brought

the camera here.

General Prosecutor!

" Platinum ring,

with a 0.05 carat diamond. "

The ring is engraved with Mizusawa

Keiko's name.

Come herel

Check the serial numbers.

It's a set-up.

It's a set-up.

Morioka-kun...

how did this happen?

Why did you do such a stupid thing?

- General Prosecutor...

- Enough!

It's all clear to me.

I have to report everything to

the Ministry of Justice.

They will decide what to do with you.

What's the matter?

I need to go to the toilet.

He had a razor there.

I won't kill myself.

Stay here.

Morloka, open the door,

open the doorl

Open the door!

Morioka Fuyuto is only a suspect.

For now,

he is not charged with anything.

But,

running from the law...

.. is an offence.

So, according to section 99

of the Penal Code,

Morioka Fuyuta can no longer be...

.. a prosecutor of our Tokyo bureau.

I don't remember a case where you brought

the suspect to their apartment search.

And how come nobody knew who he was in

the office he was first brought in?

- Is it that secret or what?

- Were you trying a cover up?

No, I deny doing such a thing.

But someone's to blame for the

suspect's escape!

Did you give him too much leeway?

He wasn't an ordinary suspect, was he?

It's only normal for recriminations to

be voiced after such an event.

We, on our side, will do our best

to capture former prosecutor Morioka,

as soon as possible.

And his case will be handled

with great care.

Are you the caretaker of this house?

Who are you?

I'm the one accused of robbing

a woman in this house.

I'm Morioka.

If that's so, come in.

Mizusawa Keiko has moved out today.

Where to?

You know,

police come here every 30 minutes.

Hey!

Better in here!

Coming!

Coming.

It's me. Am I disturbing you?

- Nobody came?

- No.

- No news on Mizusawa Keiko?

- No.

- Well, thank you.

- It's nothing.

Now, I'm your accomplice...

- I'm sorry for the trouble.

- Not at all.

I trust you more than

I do my tenant.

You were suspicious of her?

What can I say?

She moved here October 1st.

Are you sure about the date?

Yes, October 1st.

She didn't get along with the husband.

She wanted to live separated for a while.

So she...

.. moved here on October 1st...

And on the 3rd she was robbed.

The criminal was caught on the 4th.

And the next day she moves out?

It seems so.

I didn't want the police...

.. and the journalists

coming here all the time..
