The final episode (episode 8) of NHK's "Drama 10: The Uncertain Court of Themis" (General TV, Tuesdays at 10pm), starring actor Matsuyama Kenichi, will be broadcast on March 10th. The episode's subtitle is "Prepared to Face It." The preview also includes a voiceover of Ando (played by Matsuyama) saying, "I'm scared of the crimes committed by the legal world."
"The Uncertain Courtroom of Themis" is based on a unique legal mystery by Sho Naoshima. It is a courtroom drama about a judge with a developmental disorder who struggles with his own unique characteristics while taking on complex cases. The screenplay is written by Hideya Hamada, who has also written the Fuji TV series "Ichikei no Karasu" and the "Absolute Zero" series.
In the final episode, Yuki (Ogi Shigemitsu) is trying to tell something to psychiatrist Yamaji (Wakui Emi). Learning this, Ando begins to investigate the connection to the Maebashi family murder case using clues left behind by Yuki. Worried about Ando's mental state, Onozaki (Yui Narumi) accompanies him in the investigation. As the Maebashi District Court First Branch, the defense team, and the prosecution approach the truth from their respective perspectives, the existence of the real culprit emerges, and the dots gradually begin to connect.
And finally, the day arrived when the decision on the request for retrial would be made...
