Sakebi

That earthquake was pretty bad.

Yeah...

I'm heading out.

Yeah?

I'll come back.

Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hey, over here.

What's all this muck?

Must've liquefied in this morning's quake.

Right.

Either a thief or a rapist

No, no evidence of that.

Brought it from elsewhere to dispose of it?

I wonder...

Hey.

Found any footprints or Tire tracks yet?

No, not yet.

If it was dumped before it liquefied...

All that evidence is gone.

That's unfortunate.

Is this salt?

Huh?

It's salt.

Are all the puddles around here

filled with saltwater?

Yes, they were in such a rush

to build apartments,

they just finished the landfill.

I see.

Thanks.

What is it?

Water from the corpse's mouth.

What a way to go.

Yoshioka, we're heading back.

Okay.

Got the coroner's report...

Drowned to death,

and in saltwater.

I see.

Of all places.

Yeah...

What is this?

Hey, Harue, it's me.

Listen...

I have a really stupid question...

You know my black coat?

You know, I bought it at

City Mart last year?

Do you know what happened

to the middle button?

No, it's missing,

it's gone.

Who's there?

Who's there!

Police!

I know you're there!

Who are you? Get out here!

Sakurai

Got a bag for personal effects?

Yes, there should be one around here

Here.

Send it over to the lab

Yes

What is it?

I found it at the scene yesterday

I stuffed it in my pocket,

forgot to send it to the lab.

Huh...

Hey...

This button's from a trench coat.

What?

I have one just like it,

I bought it at City Mart.

I'm not interested in your opinion.

Just get it to the lab.

Yes.

This is...

a blown-up photo of F18's fingernail.

F18?

F for female...

And the recent female corpse

is our 18th ...

unidentified body this year.

Right.

And we detected fingerprints

that don't belong to F18's corpse.

Meaning, the suspect's?

That I don't know, but the prints...

probably got there after the corpse's

estimated time of death.

We're ready.

Can I start matching the prints?

Please.

I've got a match.

I'll display it.

It's this person.

What?

What is this?

This system registers

officers on our force, too?

Yes, just in case.

Yoshioka...

Did you touch the body

without gloves again?

Oh, I understand.

Thanks for the effort.

Not at all.

Who the hell... are you?

I'm seeing things.

Say...

look, there's another empty lot over there.

Yeah?

What was there before?

Um, what was it?

An apartment building?

No, I can't remember.

All this construction and destruction...

A few more earthquakes

like the other day...

and this whole area will just

slide back into the sea.

It's possible...

But maybe that's what people really want.

Back when I took the ferry from

Kawasaki to Ariake station...

The ferry? Oh, 15 years ago...

Yeah?

I remember seeing a pier...

from the ferry deck every morning.

I have no idea where that would be now.

Of course not, that was 15 years ago

They just kept enlarging the landfill...

and we all used to think

they were building...

some futuristic city.

You're right...

But their plans failed.

A big disappointment...

Just like the future.

Are you nervous?

Huh?

What about?

I may not be abIe to visit for a while

Yeah?

Maybe a week or two...

All right.

I'll call when I can make it again.

Okay.

See you.

Yeah.

Dr. Sakuma, we're about ready

for the operation.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Please.

Doctor, the anesthetics

you ordered are here.

I'll take them.

Sure.

Be careful, an overdose will...

temporarily paralyze your patient.

Yup.

Dr. Sakuma, you have a visitor.

Ask them to wait.

I think it's your son.

It's not like you to show up at work.

What is it?

It's just...

I've got my hands full now.

Wait in the cafeteria.

Can you get me any used syringes?

What?

A senior student said,

if you're a doctor, it'd be easy.

What for?

I don't know...

How many do you need?

Well, like a hundred.

What are you talking about?

You'll just...

throw the syringes out anyway.

Handing out used syringes

is against the law.

The thing is, I owe this senior guy money.

I can't

Fine, forget it.

How much do you owe him?

That much?

Do something.

Give me a little time.

I want them now.

I'll go home and discuss it

with your mother.

Will discussing it make it happen?

No.

Then forget it.

What are you doing?

Sh*t, that hurts!

A**hole! What the...

Hey... what are you doing?

Hey, help... What are you...

Let go!

Detective...

Tell Miyaji at Ariake station,

''Same M.O. as F18...''

''Probability of a serial killer very high.''

Yes, sir

Same suspect?

- Yeah.

- Serial killer?

Yeah.

But what if there's a leak

and his M.O. is...

getting passed around the Internet?

We've identified the corpse.

Sakuma Yusuke, age 17...

Ajunior at Meiwa High

His father's a doctor.

How'd you identify him?

His student ID was in his jacket.

Now that's sloppy.

Completely different

from the previous suspect.

Have the victim's family come in

right away.

I want to confirm...

But the mother's delirious.

The father... a doctor, right?

Yes, but he hasn't shown up for work today.

The hospital's trying to contact him, too.

Hey, Sakurai...

The material witness is

Sakuma Shoichi, age 48.

He's a surgeon at Eto Hospital.

Be prepared to put out an A.P.B.

for him as a serial killer.

Serial killer, huh?

What is it!?

You're hung up about something

Just spit it out!

No.

Oh, Mr. Yoshioka...

Yes?

About F18...

Did you identify the body?

No, but both wrists show signs

of having been bound.

I see.

We found traces of yellow paint particles.

I see.

In other words,

the victim may have been bound...

with a cord or something painted yellow.

What's a yellow-painted cord?

I don't know. The lab's investigating.

Any ideas?

No.

Stay back!

Don't come any closer I'll jump!

You're Sakuma Shoichi...

Stay back!

What are you after?

Why did you steal my things?

How did you doctor my fingerprints?

Don't bullshit me!

Because of you, I'm in one hell of a spot.

Who made you do it?

Or are you doing it just for kicks?

Which is it!

Why!

Why target me?

Why me?

If you hate cops,

there are lots more important guys...

you can take it out on!

Go after them!

We've detained the material witness

Sakuma Shoichi, yes.

The suspect offered some resistance

during his arrest,

and he has some superficial wounds

but nothing serious.

Yes, thanks for everything.

Hey, you were way out of line.

What if you'd broken bones?

But you are amazing,

tracking down a suspect on pure instinct.

Miyaji, I'll interrogate Sakuma alone.

Got that?

Yeah

Nobody else talks to him

Right.

Mr. Sakuma,

you murdered your son, Yusuke.

Is this correct?

Yes.

What was your motive?

My motive...

In a word,

he was completely out of control.

I see.

Yusuke was...

a good boy through junior high...

But soon after he started high school,

he suddenly went out of control

I don't know why

I think I must have failed as a parent.

Even so, that's no reason to kill him.
