The synopsis and still images for the fifth episode of the TBS Friday drama "Takusari Brothers" (Fridays at 10 PM), starring actor Masaki Okada and also featuring Shota Sometani, have been released. The episode will air on May 15th.
A handgun was hidden inside a toy robot left in the children's room of the Tagasari family. Makoto (Okada) and Minoru (Someya) thought that their father, Sakutaro (Wada Masato), who made the robot, must have hidden it, but a bad feeling crossed their minds: "Maybe Dad had killed someone..." They hesitated to think about it any further.
At the Youth Police Station, a young man named Narita (played by Jun Saito) had turned himself in, confessing that he had killed Ichijo Eisuke. Despite turning himself in, Narita remained silent during questioning, leaving Makoto skeptical, thinking, "It's probably just a prank."
According to the investigation, Ichijo was the chairman of the board of directors of Jinnan National University, which Narita had applied to but failed to get into, and a death certificate had been filed a month ago stating "cause of death: stroke." While death from illness is highly probable, Minoru's findings suggest that the possibility of homicide cannot be ruled out.
Narita continued to remain silent. Each time he was sent home, he would turn himself in again, and Makoto and the others grew frustrated, unable to understand Narita's intentions. However, beyond this, a dark suspicion that went far beyond a simple murder case was swirling around.
Meanwhile, Haruko (Haruka Igawa) receives new information about Tsuda (Kazuki Iio) shortly before his death.
The drama follows Shin Tagasari, a detective at the Qingwei Police Station, and his younger brother, Minoru Tagasari, a medical examiner working in the provincial police's investigative division, as they investigate daily heinous crimes and pursue the true culprit in a case of their parents' murder that expired just two days before the statute of limitations was abolished. This is the latest work from producer Junko Arai, who has worked on hit crime suspense films such as "Last Mile" and dramas such as "Unnatural," "MIU404," and "Saiai."
