1
00:00:19,793 --> 00:00:22,418
I'm glad you were able
to come back to Tokyo.

2
00:00:24,668 --> 00:00:26,876
It's not a big deal.
You're on a transfer here too.

3
00:00:26,959 --> 00:00:28,626
Right, my dear brother?

4
00:00:29,126 --> 00:00:29,959
Yes.

5
00:00:32,418 --> 00:00:36,501
Going from a PR firm
to the Cabinet Secretariat,

6
00:00:37,084 --> 00:00:38,584
that's one heck of a step up!

7
00:00:40,168 --> 00:00:42,501
As deputy director,
I only have a support role,

8
00:00:43,293 --> 00:00:46,584
but I never imagined I'd be working
for the national government.

9
00:00:46,668 --> 00:00:49,043
I'm worried whether you can even do it.

10
00:00:49,543 --> 00:00:53,293
-Don't do anything stupid and get fired.
-How can you say that?

11
00:00:53,876 --> 00:00:57,876
You may be joking, but you can't imagine
the pressure that's on me.

12
00:00:58,834 --> 00:01:02,084
I might even have to write
a speech for the prime minister.

13
00:01:02,918 --> 00:01:06,168
That's amazing! I wish you all the best.

14
00:01:09,209 --> 00:01:10,501
I wish you the best too.

15
00:01:11,459 --> 00:01:13,418
So pick up the tab sometimes, okay?

16
00:01:15,793 --> 00:01:16,668
Fine.

17
00:01:35,168 --> 00:01:36,376
-In here.
-Thank you.

18
00:02:36,251 --> 00:02:37,376
Ms. Matsuda.

19
00:02:37,459 --> 00:02:39,668
-You can go in now.
-Thank you.

20
00:02:48,501 --> 00:02:49,918
Sorry. Thank you.

21
00:03:15,501 --> 00:03:16,501
Kohei…

22
00:04:18,126 --> 00:04:19,001
<i>This is</i>

23
00:04:20,501 --> 00:04:23,126
<i>the Cabinet Intelligence</i>
<i>and Research Office.</i>

24
00:04:29,209 --> 00:04:31,251
I think you know what CIRO does.

25
00:04:31,834 --> 00:04:34,918
If information reaches the public
unfiltered, it can cause confusion.

26
00:04:35,001 --> 00:04:38,084
It's our job to filter out
massive amounts of information.

27
00:04:42,834 --> 00:04:44,918
First, determine all the people

28
00:04:45,001 --> 00:04:47,293
who may be obstacles
in this Eishin Academy affair,

29
00:04:47,376 --> 00:04:50,709
including all the journalists
and reporters pursuing it.

30
00:04:52,043 --> 00:04:53,126
Yes, sir.

31
00:05:18,626 --> 00:05:19,793

{\an8}CHUBU LOCAL FINANCE BUREAU
DELETE PAYMENT HISTORY

33
00:05:40,126 --> 00:05:41,001
Good.

34
00:05:41,584 --> 00:05:43,001
We'll submit these.

35
00:05:50,501 --> 00:05:53,501
Thank you for all your hard work.

36
00:06:06,543 --> 00:06:07,793
It's okay.

37
00:06:10,918 --> 00:06:12,584
Let's trust Mr. Kurosaki.

38
00:06:13,751 --> 00:06:14,584
Right.

39
00:07:21,459 --> 00:07:24,543
<i>Considering the circumstances,</i>
<i>it's patently obvious</i>

40
00:07:24,626 --> 00:07:26,209
that favors were given.

41
00:07:26,709 --> 00:07:28,668
Wasn't the PM's Office involved?

42
00:07:29,709 --> 00:07:32,293
The Prime Minister's Office
was not at all involved.

43
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:35,543
Once the records come out,
it will be clear as day.

44
00:07:35,626 --> 00:07:37,376
Since we weren't involved in it,

45
00:07:37,459 --> 00:07:40,001
there certainly aren't records
that will show as such.

46
00:07:40,084 --> 00:07:41,209
Next question.

47
00:07:45,001 --> 00:07:46,376
That was a definitive statement.

48
00:07:46,876 --> 00:07:47,751
{\an8}Yes.

49
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:50,084
{\an8}NAGOYA REGIONAL PUBLIC PROSECUTORS OFFICE

50
00:07:50,168 --> 00:07:52,001
{\an8}They can't turn back now.

51
00:07:52,668 --> 00:07:54,209
They could try to cover it up.

52
00:07:55,751 --> 00:07:59,709
What a lot of commotion
over just a simple discount.

53
00:07:59,793 --> 00:08:03,084
It's not just a simple discount.
This is a huge problem.

54
00:08:03,168 --> 00:08:05,751
There's no reason for us
to go chasing it though.

55
00:08:05,834 --> 00:08:09,293
Isn't this exactly the kind of case where
Special Investigations should be involved?

56
00:08:10,584 --> 00:08:11,959
Let's wait and see.

57
00:08:12,918 --> 00:08:14,959
It could be a lie made up by the press.

58
00:08:23,001 --> 00:08:25,251
Statements in the Diet
and the records don't match.

59
00:08:26,751 --> 00:08:28,418
Don't try to clean up the documents.

60
00:08:29,334 --> 00:08:33,459
Destroy all traces whatsoever
of the price negotiations.

61
00:08:37,293 --> 00:08:39,376
Do you plan on revising records every day

62
00:08:40,043 --> 00:08:42,834
so they're in line with
statements made in the Diet?

63
00:08:42,918 --> 00:08:44,209
That's what we'll do.

64
00:08:46,293 --> 00:08:49,251
I can't do this anymore. Please.

65
00:08:49,334 --> 00:08:50,418
Suzuki!

66
00:08:51,543 --> 00:08:54,418
Until now, I've always served loyally
as a public servant.

67
00:08:54,959 --> 00:08:57,668
I am proud to be
a member of the Finance Bureau.

68
00:08:57,751 --> 00:09:00,418
-Then continue this work.
-But this…

69
00:09:02,376 --> 00:09:04,084
-This is a crime.
-Suzuki!

70
00:09:04,168 --> 00:09:06,876
Call it what you will,
but it's a breach of people's trust!

71
00:09:07,459 --> 00:09:08,459
It seems to me

72
00:09:09,793 --> 00:09:13,793
that you don't understand what
the job of a national public servant is.

73
00:09:21,084 --> 00:09:22,168
I told you.

74
00:09:23,209 --> 00:09:25,251
I will bear all responsibility for this.

75
00:09:31,626 --> 00:09:34,209
Then, at the very least,

76
00:09:35,543 --> 00:09:37,543
take Kijima and the others off this task.

77
00:09:39,834 --> 00:09:41,418
I'll do this alone.

78
00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:45,751
At any rate, make sure it gets done.

79
00:09:51,334 --> 00:09:54,334
Delete all digital files of the records
before they have been altered.

80
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:24,168
Excuse me.

81
00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:28,043
I'm Anna Matsuda of Touto News.

82
00:10:29,043 --> 00:10:30,793
You work in the Finance Bureau, right?

83
00:10:31,543 --> 00:10:34,709
{\an8}I'd like to ask you a few questions.
May I have a moment of your time?

84
00:10:35,251 --> 00:10:36,543
What's this about?

85
00:10:38,751 --> 00:10:41,543
You're Kazuya Suzuki, aren't you?

86
00:10:44,751 --> 00:10:47,584
I'd like to ask you about Eishin Academy.

87
00:10:47,668 --> 00:10:49,376
I don't know anything about it.

88
00:11:31,251 --> 00:11:32,209
Welcome home.

89
00:11:34,668 --> 00:11:37,334
-You sure are late tonight.
-Yes.

90
00:11:39,043 --> 00:11:40,293
Were you drinking?

91
00:11:41,084 --> 00:11:44,001
Yes, a little. Just with some co-workers.

92
00:11:45,001 --> 00:11:48,668
That's unusual.
You could have called me to let me know.

93
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:50,584
I'm sorry.

94
00:11:53,626 --> 00:11:54,668
Kazuya?

95
00:11:58,084 --> 00:11:59,084
Are you okay?

96
00:12:00,501 --> 00:12:01,709
Why do you ask?

97
00:12:08,418 --> 00:12:10,001
I'm perfectly fine.

98
00:12:57,418 --> 00:12:58,709
MAKE PROMPT PAYMENT

99
00:13:00,584 --> 00:13:02,918
AFTER OBTAINING PROPER APPROVALS

100
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:06,084
WITHOUT REMOVING WASTE

101
00:13:06,668 --> 00:13:08,209
AFTER REMOVING WASTE

102
00:13:14,334 --> 00:13:15,501
CHECK NECESSITY OF REMOVAL

103
00:13:15,584 --> 00:13:16,793
OPEN ISSUES REMAIN

104
00:13:16,876 --> 00:13:18,209
REMOVAL WAS COMPLETED

105
00:13:18,293 --> 00:13:19,376
ISSUES WERE RESOLVED

<i>Regarding Eishin Academy,</i>

108
00:13:27,126 --> 00:13:29,584
<i>the Ministry of Finance</i>
<i>has yet to satisfactorily explain</i>

109
00:13:29,668 --> 00:13:31,584
<i>the reason for the discounted price for--</i>

110
00:13:31,668 --> 00:13:33,084
<i>Keep your questions brief.</i>

111
00:13:33,168 --> 00:13:35,293
<i>They haven't provided</i>
<i>a satisfactory explanation</i>,

112
00:13:35,376 --> 00:13:36,918
<i>and there have been calls for</i>

113
00:13:37,001 --> 00:13:40,626
Finance Bureau Director-General Mouri
to testify before Parliament.

114
00:13:40,709 --> 00:13:43,543
Don't you believe
the administration needs to provide

115
00:13:43,626 --> 00:13:46,001
a proper explanation regarding this issue?

116
00:13:47,001 --> 00:13:51,084
The administration and ruling party
will have discussions on the matter.

117
00:13:53,459 --> 00:13:56,793
<i>Then as for the records</i>
<i>of the negotiations that were shredded--</i>

118
00:13:56,876 --> 00:13:58,501
<i>Please get to the point.</i>

119
00:13:58,584 --> 00:14:02,209
<i>Do you believe that the handling</i>
<i>of official documents was appropriate?</i>

120
00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:03,959
<i>To the best of my knowledge,</i>

121
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:06,834
<i>official documents were handled</i>
<i>in accordance with</i>

<i>document management regulations.</i>

123
00:14:08,626 --> 00:14:11,418
<i>However, I am unaware of</i>
<i>the status of individual documents.</i>

124
00:14:12,001 --> 00:14:14,001
You'll have to ask the relevant agency.

144
00:20:09,209 --> 00:20:10,751
Did something happen at work?

145
00:20:13,584 --> 00:20:14,876
Like what?

146
00:20:17,376 --> 00:20:18,209
I mean,

147
00:20:19,709 --> 00:20:22,293
lately, you never talk about work with me.

148
00:20:23,626 --> 00:20:26,501
I can see on TV
how difficult it must be for you now,

149
00:20:27,501 --> 00:20:28,709
so I've been worried.

150
00:20:33,418 --> 00:20:34,459
Sorry.

151
00:20:36,251 --> 00:20:40,293
I was told not to talk to anyone about it.

152
00:20:44,959 --> 00:20:46,084
That makes sense.

153
00:20:47,084 --> 00:20:49,959
You're sworn to secrecy after all. Sorry.

154
00:22:36,834 --> 00:22:37,751
I'm sorry. I just…

155
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:39,501
Who said you could look at that?

156
00:22:46,834 --> 00:22:48,459
Why were you looking at my cell phone?

157
00:22:49,584 --> 00:22:52,751
I had to. It just kept on ringing.

158
00:23:05,959 --> 00:23:07,084
Kazuya.

159
00:23:11,459 --> 00:23:12,543
What happened?

160
00:23:28,918 --> 00:23:30,376
I'm sorry.

161
00:23:39,126 --> 00:23:39,959
I…

162
00:23:42,751 --> 00:23:45,334
I think I may have done
something terrible.

Matsuda.

167
00:24:28,084 --> 00:24:29,334
Yes, I saw it.

168
00:24:30,834 --> 00:24:32,751
Maicho beat us to it.

169
00:24:33,293 --> 00:24:36,543
-This is an incredible scoop.
-Right.

EISHIN DOCUMENTS
SUSPECTED OF BEING TAMPERED WITH

171
00:24:40,876 --> 00:24:43,459
I wonder who their source was.

172
00:24:44,251 --> 00:24:46,084
It has to be an insider.

173
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:04,084
Good afternoon.

174
00:25:09,126 --> 00:25:11,209
That's a hell of an article in the paper.

175
00:25:11,918 --> 00:25:14,709
-I bet you're on tenterhooks.
-Yes.

176
00:25:17,376 --> 00:25:21,626
If this issue gets dragged out any longer,
it'll turn into a quagmire for sure.

177
00:25:23,626 --> 00:25:26,001
If we can't make progress
on matters in the Diet,

178
00:25:26,084 --> 00:25:27,668
people may lose faith in us.

179
00:25:29,459 --> 00:25:30,584
You understand, right?

180
00:25:31,834 --> 00:25:32,668
Yes.

181
00:25:35,084 --> 00:25:36,168
Mouri.

182
00:25:38,959 --> 00:25:40,834
I have a favor to ask you.

183
00:25:45,751 --> 00:25:48,293
EISHIN DOCUMENTS
SUSPECTED OF BEING TAMPERED WITH

184
00:25:55,001 --> 00:25:58,584
I'd hate to think it's possible,
but none of you leaked this, did you?

185
00:26:03,959 --> 00:26:05,376
Do you know who it might be?

186
00:26:07,584 --> 00:26:08,584
Suzuki.

187
00:26:10,084 --> 00:26:11,168
What about you?

188
00:26:12,334 --> 00:26:13,168
No.

189
00:26:14,334 --> 00:26:15,418
I wouldn't do that.

190
00:26:19,876 --> 00:26:20,959
At any rate,

191
00:26:22,626 --> 00:26:25,043
we're bound to be busy
handling this for a while.

192
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:29,459
If you learn anything about this,
share it with us immediately.

193
00:26:30,626 --> 00:26:32,959
For now, we'll wait
for a decision from above.

194
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:35,251
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

195
00:26:55,501 --> 00:26:56,418
Come in.

196
00:26:57,959 --> 00:26:59,001
Excuse me.

197
00:27:07,168 --> 00:27:08,543
You read the article, right?

198
00:27:10,376 --> 00:27:11,209
Yes.

199
00:27:12,209 --> 00:27:14,168
There are sure to be more forceful demands

200
00:27:14,251 --> 00:27:17,293
in the press and on social media
for the truth to be revealed.

201
00:27:17,376 --> 00:27:19,418
Get help
from our supporters on the Internet

202
00:27:19,501 --> 00:27:21,918
to suppress reaction to it
as much as possible.

203
00:27:23,043 --> 00:27:24,001
Certainly, sir.

204
00:27:25,293 --> 00:27:26,126
Also,

205
00:27:26,793 --> 00:27:30,501
Finance Bureau Director-General Mouri
will be stepping down.

206
00:27:35,084 --> 00:27:36,709
It wasn't an easy decision,

207
00:27:37,543 --> 00:27:39,793
but allowing this issue
to go on any longer

208
00:27:39,876 --> 00:27:42,251
would be a huge negative
for the administration.

209
00:27:45,626 --> 00:27:46,459
What's wrong?

210
00:27:47,626 --> 00:27:48,543
Nothing.

211
00:27:51,209 --> 00:27:54,918
I just think I am partially responsible
for what's happened to Mr. Mouri.

212
00:27:56,668 --> 00:27:57,751
Don't worry about it.

213
00:27:58,376 --> 00:28:01,084
For those in the appropriate position,
shouldering responsibility

214
00:28:01,168 --> 00:28:03,001
is a fundamental part of any organization.

215
00:28:05,543 --> 00:28:06,376
Yes, sir.

216
00:28:07,709 --> 00:28:08,751
I'll be going.

217

FINANCE BUREAU DIRECTOR-GENERAL
MOURI RESIGNS

220
00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:24,876
That was a sudden resignation.

221
00:28:25,501 --> 00:28:28,376
I guess that means
they fabricated the documents.

222
00:28:28,876 --> 00:28:30,793
I wouldn't be so sure.

223
00:28:30,876 --> 00:28:36,418
They could be sacrificing him
so no more questions get asked.

224
00:28:36,918 --> 00:28:37,793
Really?

225
00:28:37,876 --> 00:28:40,168
Then who knows
what you can believe in anymore.

226
00:28:40,251 --> 00:28:41,501
-Yes.
-I'm back.

227
00:28:41,584 --> 00:28:43,251
-Welcome back.
-Welcome back.

228
00:28:43,334 --> 00:28:44,918

<i>of my intention to resign my position</i>
<i>as Finance Bureau director-general.</i>

230
00:28:48,834 --> 00:28:50,751
This is about Eishin Academy, right?

231
00:28:51,459 --> 00:28:54,418
What's this?
You're showing some interest now?

232
00:28:54,501 --> 00:28:57,459
Yes. In fact, that's my hometown.

233
00:28:58,834 --> 00:29:01,251
Really? Is that so?

234
00:29:04,084 --> 00:29:06,043
Goodbye.

235
00:29:06,126 --> 00:29:07,501
-Bye.
-Goodbye.

236
00:29:07,584 --> 00:29:08,668
Mayu!

237
00:29:13,209 --> 00:29:15,668
Are you free after this?

238
00:29:17,043 --> 00:29:17,959
What for?

239
00:29:18,626 --> 00:29:20,168
Don't be like that.

240
00:29:21,376 --> 00:29:23,501
Well, I did what I could

241
00:29:23,584 --> 00:29:27,043
to read up on current events,
but I didn't understand them at all.

242
00:29:27,709 --> 00:29:30,459
I'd also like to
ask you about job hunting.

243
00:29:31,084 --> 00:29:33,668
How come you're suddenly
so interested in that stuff?

244
00:29:33,751 --> 00:29:35,418
What? Is it a problem?

245
00:29:35,501 --> 00:29:38,543
Be warned, my tutoring fees
are pretty darn high.

246
00:29:38,626 --> 00:29:40,043
Buy me breakfast.

247
00:29:40,543 --> 00:29:42,543
Okay, sure.

248
00:29:43,918 --> 00:29:44,918
Hold on a sec.

SUSPICIONS DEEPEN DIRECTOR-GENERAL MOURI
IS TAKING FALL BY RESIGNING

250
00:29:53,001 --> 00:29:54,501
It's no good. I still don't get it.

251
00:29:55,376 --> 00:29:58,168
How many times
do I have to explain it to you?

252
00:29:58,251 --> 00:30:01,043
Ultimately, what's the big deal?

253
00:30:02,709 --> 00:30:04,793
I don't know a whole lot of details.

254
00:30:06,251 --> 00:30:10,084
But basically only people close to the PM
are getting favorable treatment.

255
00:30:10,626 --> 00:30:13,751
Really? So what's wrong with that?

256
00:30:14,543 --> 00:30:18,043
Are you really a university student?
Study up on democracy, would you?

257
00:30:18,126 --> 00:30:19,209
Okay, I get it!

258
00:30:21,251 --> 00:30:22,293
By the way…

259
00:30:23,168 --> 00:30:25,001
-Yes?
-You know this reporter?

260
00:30:25,918 --> 00:30:26,751
I sent you a link.

261
00:30:32,001 --> 00:30:34,251
No, I don't know her. What is this?

262
00:30:34,334 --> 00:30:35,418
Watch it.

<i>the Ministry of Finance</i>
<i>has yet to satisfactorily explain…</i>

266
00:30:43,126 --> 00:30:45,584
She drills the chief cabinet secretary
with questions,

267
00:30:46,251 --> 00:30:48,834
but she gets totally dissed on Twitter.

268
00:30:48,918 --> 00:30:51,876
<i>…and there have been calls for…</i>

269
00:30:51,959 --> 00:30:53,834
She's incredible.

270
00:30:54,751 --> 00:30:56,126
I could never do that.

271
00:30:56,209 --> 00:30:58,751
<i>…a proper explanation</i>

272
00:30:58,834 --> 00:31:00,418
I think she's pretty great.

273
00:31:01,626 --> 00:31:03,293
She's got real conviction.

<i>Please get to the point.</i>

But, you know, I don't think

279
00:31:12,918 --> 00:31:15,876
a single reporter pressuring them
like this changes a thing.

280
00:31:16,543 --> 00:31:19,584
It seems like everything
in politics is decided by the bigwigs.

281
00:31:23,001 --> 00:31:24,376
Do you seriously believe that?

282
00:31:26,668 --> 00:31:27,668
Well,

283
00:31:28,876 --> 00:31:32,584
I wouldn't say I'm serious about it.
But it's always been like that, right?

284
00:31:34,876 --> 00:31:36,376
Are you okay with that, Ryo?

285
00:31:39,793 --> 00:31:41,959
I don't really know.

286
00:31:43,251 --> 00:31:45,418
Well, if it means we've got peace.

287
00:31:50,418 --> 00:31:52,209
-The hell it's acceptable!
-That hurt!

288
00:31:52,709 --> 00:31:54,668
-What?
-I'm going to class.

289
00:31:54,751 --> 00:31:55,709
Okay.

290
00:31:56,209 --> 00:31:57,959
Thanks for breakfast.

291
00:32:19,876 --> 00:32:20,959
How's your progress?

292
00:32:21,459 --> 00:32:23,709
Good. I'll finish a list
of opposition lawmakers

293
00:32:23,793 --> 00:32:25,293
and reporters by the end of the week.

294
00:32:26,001 --> 00:32:27,126
-I see.
-Yes.

295
00:32:27,626 --> 00:32:30,001
The public is going to become
even more riled up soon.

296
00:32:33,168 --> 00:32:34,209
What do you mean?

297
00:32:35,584 --> 00:32:39,084
Finance Bureau Director-General Mouri
will testify before Parliament.

298
00:32:42,501 --> 00:32:45,376
-I was involved--
-You can rest easy, Murakami.

299
00:32:46,501 --> 00:32:49,251
If we can ride this out,
it'll be forgotten in a few months.

300
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:51,001
Just hold out until then.

301

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

302
00:33:15,084 --> 00:33:18,626
I can't take it any longer.

303
00:33:22,709 --> 00:33:25,959
I cannot accept this.
I want you to reconsider.

304
00:33:33,668 --> 00:33:38,001
After Mr. Mouri's testimony tomorrow,
things will go back to normal.

305
00:33:38,084 --> 00:33:41,376
That's not the problem here.

306
00:33:44,126 --> 00:33:45,501
Please understand, Suzuki.

307
00:33:45,584 --> 00:33:47,709
I know this has upset you,

308
00:33:48,709 --> 00:33:51,834
but stick this out
for your family's sake. Okay?

309
00:34:31,293 --> 00:34:32,793
As I thought, it was you.

310
00:34:39,209 --> 00:34:40,251
That day…

311
00:34:42,876 --> 00:34:45,293
what did you want to tell me?

312
00:34:46,834 --> 00:34:49,209
The day after your call,
that article came out.

313
00:34:50,126 --> 00:34:51,376
Was the leak…

314
00:34:53,168 --> 00:34:54,543
from you, Mr. Suzuki?

315
00:34:56,418 --> 00:34:57,543
It wasn't me!

316
00:34:58,793 --> 00:35:02,793
Then if there's anything you know,
please tell me.

317
00:35:06,168 --> 00:35:07,293
I…

318
00:35:12,543 --> 00:35:14,251
I don't know anything.

319
00:35:15,793 --> 00:35:16,918
Tomorrow,

320
00:35:17,001 --> 00:35:20,376
Finance Bureau Director-General Mouri
will testify in the Diet.

321
00:35:20,459 --> 00:35:21,751
What are your thoughts?

322
00:35:21,834 --> 00:35:24,418
-I have nothing to say to you!
-I'm sorry.

323
00:35:24,501 --> 00:35:26,918
Then I have one final question.

324
00:35:27,001 --> 00:35:29,334
-Would you quit following me?
-Mr. Suzuki.

325
00:35:30,418 --> 00:35:32,084
I saw the record of your transfer.

326
00:35:32,168 --> 00:35:34,751
You were reassigned
at an unusual time, yes?

327
00:35:46,709 --> 00:35:49,668
It was different than
the usual timing for transfers.

328
00:35:52,876 --> 00:35:54,584
Can you tell me

329
00:35:56,126 --> 00:35:57,834
why you were transferred?

330
00:36:06,293 --> 00:36:07,168
Mr. Suzuki?

331
00:36:12,418 --> 00:36:13,709
Excuse me.

332
00:36:30,334 --> 00:36:32,418
If you're asked
about anything problematic,

333
00:36:32,501 --> 00:36:36,126
avoid answering by claiming
you could be criminally implicated.

334
00:36:37,543 --> 00:36:39,584
I'm sure the questioning will be brutal.

335
00:36:40,418 --> 00:36:41,501
Can you handle it?

336
00:36:43,126 --> 00:36:44,209
No problem.

337
00:36:47,126 --> 00:36:48,209
Mouri…

338
00:36:50,251 --> 00:36:54,126
I appreciate the hard work
you've done over the years.

DIRECTOR-GENERAL YOSHIKAZU MOURI

354
00:38:06,293 --> 00:38:09,334
First, as for the altering
of approval documents that took place

355
00:38:09,418 --> 00:38:11,459
at the Chubu Local Finance Bureau,

356
00:38:12,543 --> 00:38:15,876
the alterations were done
within Chubu Local Finance Bureau.

357
00:38:15,959 --> 00:38:17,126
That is undeniable.

358
00:38:19,001 --> 00:38:20,793
<i>This is a specific case</i>
<i>regarding documents</i>

359
00:38:20,876 --> 00:38:23,376
<i>held at the Chubu Local Finance Bureau</i>

360
00:38:23,459 --> 00:38:25,334
<i>related to a former public waste site.</i>

361
00:38:25,418 --> 00:38:26,876
He admitted to it.

362
00:38:26,959 --> 00:38:29,668
He's admitted to the fabricating.

363
00:38:30,459 --> 00:38:33,084
<i>When it comes to specific cases like this…</i>

364
00:38:33,168 --> 00:38:34,001
He said it.

365
00:38:34,084 --> 00:38:37,834
<i>…we don't normally consult</i>
<i>the Cabinet Secretariat,</i>

366
00:38:37,918 --> 00:38:40,209
<i>and we don't notify them.</i>

367
00:38:40,293 --> 00:38:42,543
He's just taking the fall
so they can cut their losses.

368
00:38:42,626 --> 00:38:43,459
Yes.

369
00:38:43,543 --> 00:38:47,501
No notification was made
to the Prime Minister's Office.

370
00:38:47,584 --> 00:38:52,501
This was something that only happened
within the Finance Bureau.

371
00:38:56,209 --> 00:38:59,959
<i>You have stated that the alterations</i>
<i>took place within the Finance Bureau,</i>

372
00:39:00,043 --> 00:39:02,084
<i>but please allow me to reconfirm this.</i>

373
00:39:02,584 --> 00:39:05,084
Did the prime minister or the First Lady

374
00:39:05,168 --> 00:39:08,126
direct you or the Finance Bureau
to conduct these alterations?

375
00:39:09,293 --> 00:39:10,293
Mr. Mouri.

376
00:39:12,334 --> 00:39:13,251
No, they did not.

377
00:39:14,793 --> 00:39:16,626
He's asserting everything under oath!

378
00:39:16,709 --> 00:39:19,334
<i>Did the prime minister's secretary</i>
<i>direct you to do it?</i>

379
00:39:19,418 --> 00:39:20,834
<i>Mr. Mouri.</i>

380
00:39:21,584 --> 00:39:22,751
<i>No, he did not.</i>

381
00:39:25,376 --> 00:39:26,918
<i>Were these alterations made</i>

382
00:39:27,751 --> 00:39:30,834
<i>in order to remove the prime minister's</i>

383
00:39:30,918 --> 00:39:33,334
<i>and the First Lady's names</i>
<i>from the records?</i>

384
00:39:34,876 --> 00:39:35,918
<i>Mr. Mouri.</i>

385
00:39:37,043 --> 00:39:40,126
As for the details of the alterations
that were made,

386
00:39:40,626 --> 00:39:43,543
since I could be criminally implicated,
I cannot answer that.

387
00:39:46,501 --> 00:39:47,626
<i>Mr. Masato Ono.</i>

388
00:39:48,376 --> 00:39:50,918
<i>Did the chief cabinet secretary,</i>
<i>deputy chief cabinet secretary,</i>

389
00:39:51,001 --> 00:39:55,168
<i>secretary to the prime minister,</i>
<i>or finance minister direct you to do this?</i>

390
00:39:56,793 --> 00:39:58,001
Mr. Mouri.

391
00:39:59,668 --> 00:40:00,668
No, they did not.

392
00:40:01,251 --> 00:40:05,959
<i>It was done entirely at the discretion of</i>
<i>the Chubu Local Finance Bureau.</i>

393
00:40:06,918 --> 00:40:11,543
<i>The First Lady's name appears</i>
<i>numerous times in these documents.</i>

394
00:40:12,084 --> 00:40:16,001
<i>Didn't you get the feeling that</i>
<i>the administration was somehow involved?</i>

395
00:40:16,751 --> 00:40:19,251
Since I could be criminally implicated,
I cannot answer.

396
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:21,459
I mean…

397
00:40:21,543 --> 00:40:23,584
You've got to be kidding me.

398
00:40:24,834 --> 00:40:27,334
<i>This testimony is useless!</i>

399
00:40:28,334 --> 00:40:31,084
<i>You're completely evading</i>
<i>all the difficult questions!</i>

400
00:40:31,168 --> 00:40:33,584
<i>-That's right! Explain!</i>
<i>-Chairman!</i>

401
00:40:34,168 --> 00:40:36,626
<i>This testimony is meaningless.</i>

402
00:40:37,543 --> 00:40:39,126
<i>-Do an investigation!</i>
<i>-That's right!</i>

403
00:41:00,168 --> 00:41:01,376
I'm sorry.

404
00:41:03,459 --> 00:41:05,043
Why are you apologizing?

405
00:41:07,918 --> 00:41:10,876
Isn't it pathetic
that your husband has ended up like this?

406
00:41:13,126 --> 00:41:15,334
Of course it's not. You know that.

407
00:41:19,209 --> 00:41:23,543
Sometimes I see a police car drive by.

408
00:41:26,751 --> 00:41:28,126
Every time I do,

409
00:41:29,834 --> 00:41:32,459
I wonder if they're coming to arrest me.

410
00:41:36,251 --> 00:41:37,668
Get some rest.

411
00:41:38,668 --> 00:41:40,751
You've been working non-stop for a while.

412
00:41:44,626 --> 00:41:46,626
I'll be back again tomorrow.

413
00:41:51,543 --> 00:41:52,459
Mayumi.

414
00:41:57,043 --> 00:41:58,126
Thank you.

415
00:42:02,126 --> 00:42:03,501
You get plenty of rest.

416
00:42:55,793 --> 00:42:58,043
Mr. Suzuki, you have visitors.

417
00:43:02,209 --> 00:43:03,084
Excuse me.

418
00:43:05,168 --> 00:43:06,334
It's nice to meet you.

419
00:43:07,418 --> 00:43:10,501
I'm Yagawa from the
Nagoya Regional Public Prosecutors Office.

420
00:43:17,126 --> 00:43:18,918
I think you've already been told.

421
00:43:20,626 --> 00:43:24,043
I have nothing to say about this.

422
00:43:26,084 --> 00:43:27,084
I know.

423
00:43:29,501 --> 00:43:32,793
Naturally, you have the right
to remain silent, Mr. Suzuki.

424
00:43:35,084 --> 00:43:38,751
If you can only answer the questions
you can answer, that is fine.

425
00:43:39,751 --> 00:43:42,334
You don't need to answer
anything you don't want to.

426
00:43:42,418 --> 00:43:44,418
You can even remain silent throughout.

427
00:43:50,334 --> 00:43:51,168
Then…

428
00:43:53,084 --> 00:43:55,209
I would like to remain silent.

429
00:44:02,001 --> 00:44:03,001
Excuse me.

430
00:44:04,001 --> 00:44:05,001
May I sit?

431
00:44:11,668 --> 00:44:12,668
Mr. Suzuki.

432
00:44:15,251 --> 00:44:18,626
The only people who know the truth
behind the Eishin Academy affair

433
00:44:20,168 --> 00:44:21,709
are you and your co-workers.

434
00:44:27,376 --> 00:44:30,709
We cannot allow this issue
to just fade away.

435
00:44:31,751 --> 00:44:32,668
Won't you please…

436
00:44:34,709 --> 00:44:36,126
tell us the truth?

437
00:44:45,001 --> 00:44:46,709
I…

438
00:44:48,543 --> 00:44:49,709
I…

439
00:44:51,084 --> 00:44:53,709
did my job for the sake
of the Japanese people.

440
00:44:54,418 --> 00:44:55,918
That's what I've always done!

441
00:45:01,084 --> 00:45:03,918
I refused to do it.

442
00:45:05,209 --> 00:45:08,959
I told them I didn't want to.
I told them it was a cover-up.

443
00:45:11,001 --> 00:45:11,834
I…

444
00:45:14,751 --> 00:45:17,626
wanted to do a job
my wife could be proud of!

445
00:45:18,709 --> 00:45:19,584
Mr. Suzuki.

446
00:45:20,709 --> 00:45:23,043
I wanted to be a husband
she could be proud of!

447
00:45:35,501 --> 00:45:36,418
What…

448
00:45:38,668 --> 00:45:40,251
will happen to me?

449
00:45:44,001 --> 00:45:45,876
Don't worry, Mr. Suzuki.

450
00:45:48,251 --> 00:45:53,126
We don't want to know what you did.

451
00:45:54,376 --> 00:45:57,543
We just want to know what you know.

452
00:46:11,709 --> 00:46:14,459
INVESTIGATION STARTS
AFTER BEING PRESSED BY MEDIA

453
00:46:19,293 --> 00:46:23,418
Articles on the Eishin scandal
are getting smaller by the day.

454
00:46:27,709 --> 00:46:29,251
I won't let it end just yet.

455
00:46:50,501 --> 00:46:51,584
Suzuki!

456
00:47:00,834 --> 00:47:02,293
How are you feeling?

457
00:47:03,126 --> 00:47:04,251
I'm not sure.

458
00:47:05,709 --> 00:47:08,876
But they say I can go home next week.

459
00:47:13,251 --> 00:47:14,501
That's good news.

460
00:47:23,501 --> 00:47:25,209
Apparently,

461
00:47:25,876 --> 00:47:29,126
the leak about the altered documents
was from someone in Eishin Academy.

462
00:47:30,168 --> 00:47:32,209
I'm sorry I suspected you.

463
00:47:35,126 --> 00:47:36,126
Is that so?

464
00:47:39,334 --> 00:47:43,168
Earlier, a public prosecutor visited me.

465
00:47:45,459 --> 00:47:47,459
They paid me a visit too.

466
00:47:47,543 --> 00:47:50,126
That made me worry about you,
so I came to visit.

467
00:47:54,709 --> 00:47:55,834
Mr. Kurosaki.

468
00:47:57,251 --> 00:47:58,084
Yes?

469
00:48:01,376 --> 00:48:04,543
Do you remember our time at
the Shizuoka Local Finance Office?

470
00:48:09,584 --> 00:48:10,418
Yes.

471
00:48:13,584 --> 00:48:16,001
You were so kind.

472
00:48:17,834 --> 00:48:20,251
You were so much more talented
than the others

473
00:48:21,334 --> 00:48:23,751
that you got promoted
at an unbelievable pace.

474
00:48:25,501 --> 00:48:27,084
Everyone admired you.

475
00:48:37,251 --> 00:48:38,959
I have something to give you.

476
00:48:48,876 --> 00:48:53,668
These are records of all the alterations
that I was involved in.

477
00:48:56,126 --> 00:48:57,668
I haven't shown anyone.

478
00:49:01,334 --> 00:49:02,376
I'd like to…

479
00:49:05,543 --> 00:49:08,084
entrust this to you, Mr. Kurosaki.

480
00:49:41,584 --> 00:49:42,668
I'll visit again.

481
00:49:45,168 --> 00:49:46,293
Mr. Kurosaki.

482
00:49:49,168 --> 00:49:50,209
Can I ask you one thing?

483
00:49:57,876 --> 00:49:59,001
What is it?

484
00:50:03,418 --> 00:50:05,126
Did you have me transferred here

485
00:50:06,959 --> 00:50:08,668
in order to alter the documents?

486
00:50:16,584 --> 00:50:18,376
Of course I didn't.

487
00:50:24,251 --> 00:50:26,168
I'm glad to hear that.
