I'm happiest when I make the three-point shot.
When I'm playing basketball, I can forget about all the unpleasant things.
I hated myself for not being able to say what's on my mind.
That is why I envied the girl who lived across, who went wild every night.
I wished I could destroy everything like her.
You should've just killed me.
Come home.
Tell me what happened, Shinji.
I wasn't a good mother.
Hey! He's coming out!
Shinji has been found. He'll be coming in tomorrow.
We'll think about the future together.
JANUARY 29, 2013 - SEVEN DAYS AFTER THE MURDER
Please release my mother.
I killed my father.
Shinji...?
What are you saying?
I killed him.
The reporters finally left.
I'm glad Shinji was found.
I'm glad he's safe.
Ayaka?
Ayaka... what about breakfast?
Are you all right?
Who knows what she'll do if we are alone.
Be careful!
Unless you talk, we won't know what happened at your house that night.
I killed him.
Please arrest me.
It's like with Junko Takahashi.
It's common for people to deny it, but not admit to it.
One of them has to be lying.
They are both hiding something.
Is it from stress, after all?
Still, would you normally take it that far?
Good morning.
Did you know Satoko posted those slanders at the Takahashis' house?
How can she direct her anger at someone else because her household is in shambles?
Her husband lives with his mistress and Ma-kun doesn't seem to be coming home.
I feel sorry for her, but that is still taking it too far.
Satoko!
Hello, everyone.
Good morning!
Thank you for saving me the other day.
Don't get me involved again.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
To be honest, I don't know what to do for her.
I'll do the best I can.
You can try to work it out, but it may not go smoothly.
That's how childrearing is.
Things don't go as you want in life.
MIDNIGHT FERRIS WHEEL Episode 9
I'm not all for it. Why can't it be you?
The police said it's because I'm a student and am not working.
Only Aunty Akiko can take Shinji in.
Shinji will be released to Aunty?
The detective said he'd deliver Shinji there.
Shinji didn't do it, did he?
Shinji said that?
He confessed to doing it and asked to be arrested.
Please let me see Shinji.
Unfortunately, you can't.
Please don't believe what a child says. He really has nothing to do with this.
He really doesn't! You've got it wrong!
Shinji has nothing to do with it.
Akiko hasn't been feeling well, but she forced herself to come back for you.
This is a critical time for her. I don't want to add to her stress.
MURDERER'S FAMILY
It's hard for me to say this, but you can't stay here more than a few days.
I know you haven't done anything wrong.
As your mother's sister, I know I should be helping you.
My family is important too. I finally got pregnant.
We are really sorry.
Ayaka! Are you all right?
Yes.
You should get examined at a hospital.
Are you stupid?
Do you think you can get away from us by staying in the health room?
Do you think you can get away?
You're so irritating.
Stop acting superior.
Are you stupid? Do you think you can get away?
- Shiho, are you all right? - Unbelievable.
I'm sorry.
Is it always going to be like this? Forever?
Shinji said he killed him?
Don't make such a face. Let's wait for Shinji to come home.
Yes, this is Takahashi.
By Shinji s strong request, we are taking him to an orphanage.
What? Shinji requested it? I don't understand.
He wants to be alone right now.
What about Shinji?
JANUARY 22, 2013 AT 7:50 AM
Who threw these away?
I'll hold on to them.
Mom, did you throw them away?
You knew today is the last match!
How could you?
Give them back.
Focus on tomorrow.
Give them back!
Your exams are tomorrow.
If you fail, how am I supposed to explain it to your dad?
Don't mess things up!
What are you doing? Stop it!
I said stop it!
Stop it!
Why!?
Stop it!
- Stop it... - Why!?
Stop it!
Help! Please stop! Please forgive me!
Stop it!
Why!?
What are you doing!?
HIDAMARI ORPHANAGE
JANUARY 29, 2013 - SEVEN DAYS AFTER THE MURDER
Thank you for dropping us off.
Shinji!
Shinji, wait!
I said wait! Will you explain what's going on!?
Shinji!
What happened? Why aren't you coming home?
Why do you always carry the entire burden alone?
Are we that unreliable?
I'll come back. I'll drop out of college and find a job.
I'll do my best so that the three of us can live together.
Shinji!
Don't ever forget that we are here for you!
Yoshiyuki, are you serious about dropping out of college?
As the eldest son, I have a duty to protect my family.
What an honor student.
Yuuki!
Do you think your siblings will I be happy?
How would your father feel?
He'd want you to be selfish and think of your own happiness first.
He wouldn't want you to be a victim and lead an unhappy life.
If I were your father, that's how I would feel.
It takes time to find what you really want to do.
Don't rush and take your time.
See them home.
He must be desperate.
He's trying to do whatever he can for his family.
It might be difficult because it's about family.
Did something happen?
I did something horrible.
I...
Quiet!
...did something to Ayaka.
You'll have to make up for it.
You are the only mother to Ayaka.
Is your skirt okay? Is it stained?
You should send it to the cleaners. Your socks are stained too.
This makes us even.
Why don't you retrieve it? It's going down the river.
What are you doing? Go quickly.
Shiho, isn't that going too far?
If she goes into the icy water, she might die.
Perhaps.
Go quickly!
No one will be sad if you die!
Ayaka!
Ayaka is in trouble!
Ayaka! What are you doing!?
Ayaka!
- Stop it! - Let go!
Please stop it!
Don't touch me! I don't care about life!
Please!
I don't care anymore! I'm sick of everything! I should just die!
What are you saying?
Let me go!
Ayaka!
You want me dead too! You tried to kill me!
No!
You're lying!
I'm not lying!
- Let me go! - I'm not letting you go!
Let me go! You're irritating!
Let me go... Let me go!
I'm sick of everything.
No... I'm not letting you go. I'm not letting you go!
She was a bit feverish so I gave her cold medicine.
Thanks.
Shall I go to her school tomorrow?
We should be talking to her first.
We are the only ones who can protect her.
I'm glad she's safe.
We'll be prosecuting you tomorrow.
I saw Yoshiyuki and Hinako today.
They are good children. You can tell they grew up with a lot of love.
Won't you tell us the truth for your children's sake?
While you're hiding something, their sufferings won't end.
They appeared in my dream last night.
We were all swimming at the beach.
The three of them kept going farther ahead.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up with them.
I finally got close and stretched, but I still couldn't reach them.
JANUARY 30, 2013 - EIGHT DAYS AFTER THE MURDER
Yoshiyuki... I want to go home.
Ayaka, I'm coming in.
How do you feel?
Do you have an appetite?
If you can, eat some rice gruel.
I dropped an egg in it. I left cold medicine too.
I can wash this, can I?
I have to do laundry.
Ayaka?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Coffee.
I can go to work in the afternoon.
Shall I take her to the hospital? The cold this year is persistent.
Thanks. I'll observe her condition first. I'll rest from work.
I see.
Dear... I had forgotten something important.
That I'm happy to just have Ayaka alive.
The news reporters think Shinji might be the true killer.
Is that right?
That's what my husband said from the beginning.
He has such a cute face too. You never know, do you?
It must be rough on Yoshiyuki and Hinako.
They won't be able to return to Hibari Hills.
Excuse me.
Can we stop that already?
Huh? What do you mean by that?
What's wrong with worrying about our neighbors?
Irresponsible rumors hurt people.
If you are really worried, why don't you extend a helping hand?
If you can't, then be considerate and just watch over them quietly.
How nice to have a strong sense of justice.
- We'll be your neighbors. - Please be good to us.
If there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
Junko is happy to have a good friend.
Likewise.
Please continue to be friends with her.
- Dear? - Here.
Here!
What about work?
Don't worry. I have a lot of floating holidays.
Will the reporters be there again?
They'll come after us wherever we go.
We thought you might come home if we cleaned it up.
Thank you.
Ayaka?
Enough!
You're like me now.
I lost precious things because of you!
My friends left me because of you!
Excuse me!
Are Hinako Takahashi's friends here?
I want to talk to Hinako Takahashi's friends!
Are Hinako Takahashi's friends here?
Ayaka.
I'm sorry, Hinako. I've been worried about you, but I couldn't text you.
I was scared.
- I'm sorry. You're my friend. - I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Ayaka...
Do you feel okay?
The fever is gone.
It's cleaned up.
Ayaka!
I'm sorry I said those terrible things to you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'm going to see them off.
Thanks for helping.
I'm hungry. Let's eat.
Welcome back.
Thank you very much.
Hang in there. We'll be here for you.
Thank you. I'll be fine. I've made my decision.
Mrs. Endo.
Can I ask a favor?
What is it?
Please watch over us no matter what happens.
If you'll excuse me.
Yoshiyuki, the curry is ready.
Did you meet her? What is she like? Is she cute?
- Sis, you always say those things. -Hinako is the only carefree one.
Yoshiyuki and Shinji are busy with their studies.
Yoshiyuki?
Hinako, I want to talk to you.
What is it?
The three siblings should've talked more.
As to what is best for our family.
Hello? I'm sorry to call at this late hour.
My name is Yoshiyuki Takahashi.
There's something I haven't told the police.
JANUARY 31, 2013 - NINE DAYS AFTER THE MURDER
I called in to your school.
I'm going to work today, but I'll try to be home early.
You ate everything.
I'm glad.
Thanks for the food.
I'm sorry to bother you from early morning.
It's all right. What's up?
Please tell Junko that Yoshiyuki and Hinako are back at Hibari Hills.
Okay.
Can you give this to Junko?
Also... I have a message for Junko.
Mayumi came?
Yes. By rules, I can't give this to you, but this was inside.
She said she'd keep the secret you told her.
I'm happy. This is so delicious.
- This is our little secret. -Okay, I won't tell anyone.
I had given up.
It's hard when you become an adult.
I didn't think I could make friends at this age.
But I got to meet Mayumi.
She said the same about you. She called you a precious friend.
Mr. Yuuki! We've got trouble.
We are at Hibari Hills.
The Takahashis' eldest son called the media last night for a press conference.
Press conference?
- Good morning! - Good morning.
Amidst the various assumptions, what is the eldest son going to say?
I've made my decision.
Please watch over us no matter what happens.
Those involved in cases all say...
They never imagined to be a party involved.
There is no guarantee for an everlasting peaceful life.
Adversities always lie besides you.
The eldest son, Yoshiyuki, just came out.
The press conference is about to start.
Our family has a secret.
