Original subtitles

We're still friends after this, right?

And also partners in crime.

Kanako. You lied to me.

You live in such a nice apartment. Your husband's an elite banker.

And he's so nice to you. How is this ordinary?

Oda. You work in the Sales Dept. at Aoi Department Store, right?

Truth is, I'm working a job I don't like,...

...lowering my head, and getting ordered around by my clients everyday.

I envy you. You're happily married. Your dream came true.

My dream did not come true.

Kanako. What happened to your face?

Did Tatsuro hurt you?

You have to leave him now.

You'll never be happy living with a guy who hits you.

You're not married. You won't get it.

I know men who abuse women.

My father was an abusive man.

He often hit my mother since I was young.

For this to stop, you have to break off with him.

I'm really fine.

Who's that guy?

My worker, Lin.

He came to Japan to let his sick mother receive surgery.

You don't want to have my child?

Actually, my friend from university has an abusive husband.

Kill him.

Lies and tricks to protect your life are all legitimate self-defense.

He hit you again, right?

Go to the hospital, get a medical report, and head to the police now.

If I could, I'd have done so earlier.

Leave me alone. Don't bother me anymore.

I will protect you.

What do you want the most now?

The water taste bitter.

I want to drink tasty water.

That's all.

Shall we just...

...kill your husband?

Morning.

Why did I say that?

Shall we just...

...kill your husband?

What did you just say?

This is the only way.

What?

If we do that, we'll get arrested.

What if...

What if we could do it without getting arrested?

- Morning. - Morning.

- Kanako. - What is it?

This place.

Let's go there together.

Infertility Treatment

Their doctors have a good reputation and success rate is high.

Thanks for the meal.

But...

I wonder if our first should be a boy or girl.

I'll get your suit ready.

Okay.

Mother, are you feeling better? I am doing well. Don't worry about me.

Good morning.

How to stop abuse

Joining a Women's Shelter

- Good morning. - Good morning.

I'm Hattori from Kotobuki Bank.

It's regarding yesterday's meeting on introducing your clients.

I will be sending you the detailed investment plans which I have complied.

Thank you.

I'll take a look at it.

I also have a client I'd like you to meet.

Oda. Please drop by my house again.

Kanako would be glad to see you too.

Sure. Of course.

See you.

Kotobuki Bank Hattori Tatsuro

Naomi & Kanako Episode 2

Joining a women's shelter

Oda. Come here.

Yes.

You will take over one of Naito's clients.

Mdm Saito Junko. She lives in Yoyogi.

76-year-old. Her husband is a former director on the Medical Board...

Wait a minute.

You're putting me in charge of a new client now.

Does this mean I won't be getting a transfer?

My transfer to Aoi Museum...

You're still at it?

A job is not doing only the things you like.

Talk about what you want after becoming a competent salesperson.

- Chief. - Yes?

The meeting is starting soon. Please get ready.

Alright.

I've informed Mdm Saito about it.

You should pay her a visit.

Chief. Wait for me.

Saito Junko

Y-Yes?

I'm Oda from Aoi Department Store Sales Dept.

I will be taking over from Naito...

You came at the right time.

My husband... he's...

Please look for my husband.

Madam. Please calm down. When did he go missing?

He didn't come home yesterday.

He could have met with an accident.

Please ask the police about it.

We didn't receive an accident report involving a man of that age.

Saito Kazuo

Then please look for him.

Look for him?

The police do not take any action if someone is missing.

More than 80,000 people go missing each year.

It's impossible to find them.

No way.

But it's different if foul play is suspected.

- Foul play? - Like if a body was found.

A body?

The police refuses to look for a missing person unless a body is found?

Many people leave home because they want to.

Please understand that.

Number of missing person - 81,193

Papa, Mama, hurry up!

Ready?

Alright. 1. 2. 3.

How's that?

Was it fun?

Do it again.

At present, it is unlikely for him to be involved in an incident.

I'm sure your husband will contact you.

Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't served you tea yet.

No, that is not necessary.

Take a seat.

But...

I'm really sorry. You're a guest after all.

It's alright.

Isn't this cup pretty?

That's a Royal Doulton, isn't it?

As expected of a salesperson. You're young but well-informed.

This one was a gift.

I've bought the complete set from Aoi.

Thank you for your continuous support.

What have you brought here today?

I've brought the Bizen Ware ceramics.

But it would be better for me to come another day.

What are you talking about?

Oh, it's cramped here, isn't it?

Can you put them out on that table?

Sure.

All these are so pretty.

Choose a couple for me.

In that case,...

...I recommend this Arita porcelain bowl...

...and that Oukamon dish.

Then I'll get these two.

Thank you for your continuous support.

Oh no. I can't believe I forgot.

I got carried away with the chatter and forgot about the tea.

- I'll make it now. - Oh no.

It's really fine.

Shall I make some black tea?

175cm, slim, slicked back white hair, silver glasses, mole under right eye, mustache

Madam. Who is that in the photo?

My husband.

When he was young, he often made me cry over other girls.

Oda.

Isn't this cup pretty?

That's a Royal Doulton, isn't it?

You're well-informed. As expected of a Aoi salesperson.

This one was a gift.

I've bought the complete set from Aoi.

Thank you for your continuous support.

How was Mdm Saito?

I haven't visited in a while. Is she doing well?

- Yes. - I see.

About her husband...

He passed away from stroke three years ago.

Please look for my husband.

And her children?

Her daughter is in Singapore because of her husband's work.

Her son is busy with hospital management. They have no time to care for their parents.

I see.

Old and living by herself.

She's an easy target for people with ill-intent.

You have to take good care of her.

Oda is introducing her client to me tomorrow.

Have she told you?

She did.

Here.

Thanks.

By the way, is there anywhere you'd like to go on our anniversary?

Anywhere is fine with me if we can have a quiet talk.

I see. Alright.

I'll look for one.

Thanks for coming over today.

You're introducing the Managing Director's wife from Kujo & Co., right?

Yes.

She must be a important client of yours.

I will serve her wholeheartedly.

Shall we just...

...kill your husband?

Thank you for waiting. Here is your hot coffee.

I asked for iced coffee.

- What? Oh. - "What?"

Didn't you confirm by repeating our order earlier on?

I'm sorry. I'll bring you a new cup.

Forget it.

What? But...

I said forget it.

I'm really sorry.

Oda. Please enjoy your drink.

Naomi's contact details

Hello.

Hello. It's me.

I've heard from Tatsuro.

He said you're going to introduce your client today.

He was really happy as he could clear a few months of quota.

Thanks.

I didn't do it for him.

I know that.

Kanako, can I come over today?

Why?

I need to pass you something.

Okay. Sure.

This is good.

Better than the 3 star restaurant my clients bring me to.

You're kidding.

It's true.

Believe it or not, I often dine at high-class restaurants for work.

I was even treated to a 300,000 yen wine the other day.

You're kidding!

This is good too.

Don't tell me you opened up the best?

That's amazing, Naomi. You're such a gourmet.

If I'm not wrong, this one cost 1300 yen.

Kanako. You're not drinking?

It's fine. I'll pass.

By the way, I've checked it up.

Joining a Women's Shelter

For a public shelter, your length of stay is limited...

...so a private shelter is...

I know these.

I've looked it up before.

But it was useless. No matter where I run or hide...

...he'll be able to find me.

Either with a private investigator, or keeping watch on my parents' home.

Then what should we do?

Do you want to live in fear of his abuse for life?

The water you drink will always be bitter. Are you alright with that?

Of course not.

But it's not your problem. Why are you so concerned?

Because you're my friend.

Friends help you when you're in trouble.

If we don't act fast,...

...it'll only get worse when you're pregnant.

Infertility Treatment

What's this?

Tatsuro wanted me to go there with him.

But, actually after the abuse started,...

...I've been taking the pills secretly.

I think he suggested it because he don't get why I can't get pregnant.

What do you plan to do?

If you have a child, it will no longer be your own problem.

I'll try talking to him.

It's too late for that now.

He isn't someone you can reason with.

Our wedding anniversary is in four days, on 20th Jan.

I think we could have a good talk then.

I don't think he'll get it.

"Let's kill Tatsuro."

You even said that to me.

That's why I've decided to confront Tatsuro about it.

He might beat you up once again.

Just once.

I'll try talking to him just once.

It'll be alright. If something happens, I'll definitely call you.

I won't hide it from you again. Okay?

Alright.

Come on. Let's eat before the food gets cold.

Hello.

- Still at work? - Yes.

I knew it. Thought you'd still be working.

What? I bet you're still at work too, Sis.

Hey, I need to ask you something. Are you free for a drink?

What do you think of Oda?

She introduced me to the Managing Director's wife of Kujo & Co.

She also told me what the client is looking for accurately.

Thanks to that, I was able to suggest the perfect plan.

On top of that, she's also well-trusted by her clients.

To obtain that level of trust, she must have served her clients faithfully over the years.

You're right, Sis. She's outstanding.

I knew it. She seems like a worthy partner.

I'm going to get busy soon.

Same here. I've got to work even frantically from now on.

I'm one step away from getting promoted during the next personnel shuffle.

Really? Good luck.

Here is your food.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Oh, and about Kanako.

She's serious about having a child now. She's decided to visit a highly-reputed clinic.

When the child is born, we'll get busy again.

And you'll be a legitimate auntie too.

Shut up.

Did you put on weight again?

For this year's anniversary, I've booked the restaurant in Redmond Hotel.

Thanks.

How's the hospital?

I've booked an appointment in two days.

What?

I'm working that day.

It's fine. I can go for the first appointment myself.

Okay.

All my classmates who are married have children.

I'm eager to have one too.

Waaait. I need a break.

Stop here. Let's take a break.

I hope Kanako's alright.

Hello.

I need a favor so I need you to come now.

What? It's been a while since I had a day off.

A day off? Great. So you can come now.

Let's get some dim sum for lunch.

Come here in 30 minutes. I'm already hungry.

Alright.

Co-signer?

My workers have to move out of their dorm...

...because it's old and will be torn down soon.

I found a new apartment in Ikebukuro,...

...and the landlord asked for two co-signer.

One of them have to be a Japanese.

One is Chairman Chen. The other is you, the Japanese.

President. In Japan, a co-signer...

...bears the same responsibility as the tenant.

I know that.

I find it hard to understand.

I'd never agree to be a guarantor for someone else's payment.

And you're asking me to do it?

Oh. I made a mistake.

If it was your request, I'd gladly accept it.

- Really? - I trust you, Oda.

Why don't you be my younger sister?

We're family. Please accept my request.

You're good with words.

Then will you do me a favor too?

There will be an antique exhibit at Aoi Department Store next month...

...and I have a quota to meet.

I hope you could help me with it.

I guess I have no choice.

Thank you very much.

I also agree to be the co-signer.

Rental Contract

Done.

For the seal, I'll just get a cheap one.

Sorry, I'm late.

Does he really look so much like your friend?

- Yes. - They're both east Asian.

It's not strange for them to look alike.

Lin. Come here.

Come here.

I asked her to be the co-signer.

Oda from Aoi Department Store. You should thank her too.

Thank you.

No problem.

Lin is a serious worker.

His Japanese is not that good, but when he improves,...

...I'll ask him to help with the business.

I have faith in him.

By the way, how's your friend?

What?

The one with an abusive husband.

I've been trying to persuade her, but no progress yet.

You haven't killed him yet?

The police in Japan are good. We'll be arrested right away.

That's why you find a way to do it without getting arrested.

The police said they won't do anything to locate a missing person...

...unless a body is found.

If you throw it into the sea, the fishes will eat it.

But...

Fake his disappearance.

Nice idea, isn't it?

Mrs. Hattori.

Are your periods regular?

Yes.

And you are not taking any pills now, right?

Yes.

Alright.

The results of your check-up will be out next week.

We shall decide on a course of treatment based on that.

Okay.

We need the consent of your next-of-kin to carry out certain examinations.

Please come with your husband for your next appointment.

Oda.

The Planning & Development team from Touo Real Estate will be here later.

- Touo Real Estate? - Yes.

I heard Chief talking about it just now.

He said they want to collaborate on a project.

Touo Real Estate - Hattori Yoko

In recent years, there have been an increasing number of rich elderly...

...looking to move out of the suburbs into the city.

They are looking for a luxurious condo that provides hotel-like services...

...such as a concierge service and easy access to amenities.

The target of the luxurious condo we hope to market...

...fits the profile of your clients.

You want us to introduce our clients?

Yes. This project will bring about huge benefits...

...to my company as well as your company.

When your clients purchase our condo and start a new life,...

...they will purchase a number of furnishings from your company...

...to create a prestigious living quarters.

On top of that, we plan to put up quality art pieces at common areas...

...and market it as the main feature of the condo.

With your company's museum and unique distribution channel,...

...your company will naturally be in charge of marketing.

This is truly an attractive proposal.

We will consider it positively.

Thank you very much.

Oda. Are you free now?

Yes.

I want you to be part of this project once it is approved.

Me?

You actually wanted to work with arts instead of sales, right?

I've heard from Kanako that you are a qualified curator.

Do you put up with work because it's a way to earn money?

I don't.

I fight for the work I want with my own hands.

This is how I do things all along.

I believe this project will be a better use of your skills...

...compared to taking care of your clients.

But for such a huge project, someone in a higher position..

Position has nothing to do with ability.

A capable person understands another capable person.

Stop running.

We're going home.

We just met at the hospital.

You live in the same block, right?

Yes. I'm Hattori.

I'm Tachibana.

- Hello. - Hello.

- I'm sorry. - It's alright.

How long have you been going to that hospital?

It's my first time today.

I see. I've been going there for half a year.

We always wanted another child since he was born...

...but we had a hard time conceiving.

But today at the hospital, they told me I'm pregnant.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

That hospital is good as they said.

You just need to follow the doctor's instruction to conceive.

Okay.

You're going to trip.

Slow down, Shota.

How was the check-up?

The doctors are good.

You really don't need me to come along?

Yes. It's fine.

They told me to follow the doctor's instruction starting next month.

Alright. Take care.

It might rain today.

Thanks.

6 p.m. at Redmond Hotel.

I'm looking forward to it.

- See you. - See you.

Aoi Department Store will have full control over the art pieces

20th Jan., 2016

Our wedding anniversary is in four days, on 20th Jan.

I think we could have a good talk then.

Hello.

Are you Oda Naomi?

Yes.

You agreed to be the co-signer for a rental apartment, right?

Yes.

When will the tenants submit their ID?

Can you ask them about it?

Actually, one of my workers doesn't have a passport.

It's Lin.

Lin is an illegal immigrant.

Illegal immigrant?

You didn't check his ID when you hired him?

I did ask him, but I didn't ask him to submit his passport.

Did you gloss over it because you can't hire him once you know he's an illegal immigrant?

In this world, there are things you're better off not knowing.

What happened to the rental contract?

I wanted to let two guys stay there so it was a waste.

That's right, Oda. You should move in.

I will rent it to you cheap.

The landlord won't complain in this case.

It'll also be good for me to have you near, so please do.

No way, I'm not moving.

That aside, what will happen to Lin?

I fired him.

If I still employ him after knowing he's an illegal immigrant,...

...I'll be arrested if Immigration carries out a check here.

But you said you wanted to groom him.

This company is important to me.

If it's important to me, I'll stop at nothing to protect it.

If I don't decide fast, I won't be able to protect it.

I'm going for dinner with Tatsuro now. Talk to you later.

I don't think he'll get it.

He might beat you up once again.

Welcome.

I'm Hattori.

Your companion is already inside.

You have a new message.

I'm going for dinner with Tatsuro now. Talk to you later.

Alright. I'll be waiting.

My results for this month is top not just in the Shinjuku bloc,...

...but also the Tokyo city bloc.

I'm clearly in the lead to be the Manager of Corporate Sales at head office.

This is the result of your hard work.

I hope Oda introduces her clients again.

Excuse me. Can you clear this?

I'll be there in a moment.

Tatsuro.

About...

About...

About what?

With the way things are...

If we're going to have a child...

"With the way things are?"

What about it?

Please stop...

...the abuse.

Here is your food.

Alright.

I get it.

Really?

I won't do it again.

I promise.

Looks good.

My friend sent me lots of fresh vegetables.

So I started making this and that...

...and ended up with too much food.

Please eat up.

Thanks for the food.

It's delicious.

Great.

I live alone so I usually buy ready-made for dinner.

I don't get to eat home cooking often.

Then come here anytime you like.

I always have my meal alone so it's pointless to cook too.

I'm glad you have taken over now.

Not at all. I'm the one who should thank you.

This is really good.

Oh. I nearly forgot.

I need a favor from you.

I received an invoice the other day, but I haven't paid for it yet.

I'll give you my bankbook and seal.

Can you make payment for me at Kamome Bank tomorrow?

We are not supposed to take our client's bankbook and seal whatever the case may be.

I don't like the bank.

They haven't been kind to me since the branch manager changed.

Then why don't you apply for internet banking?

With that, you can make payment from home.

I'm fine with it if you are willing to help. I trust you.

Please.

Alright.

I'm going for dinner with Tatsuro now. Talk to you later.

Mama. Hurry up.

Shota. It's dangerous.

Onee-chan.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

This is my husband.

Mr. and Mrs. Tachibana.

- I'm Hattori. - I'm Tachibana.

Little boy. How old are you?

I turned 5 today.

Today's your birthday?

Yes.

- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

What present did you get?

A bicycle.

Papa's coming home early to practice with me tomorrow.

I see. That's great.

Yes.

The Tachibana get along so well.

Always walking together hand in hand.

I've always wanted such a family.

Tatsuro?

Are you serious with that?

You've always wanted such a family?

Are you fucking kidding me?

You really don't understand anything at all.

His father is the CEO of Tachibana Pharmacy.

He doesn't even need to put in a single effort to get to where he is.

He has time to play with his child because he doesn't need to work.

I bet it was also his father who paid for his home.

Listen up.

I'm different from him.

I worked like hell and bought this house with my own money.

I got onto the career track thanks to my hard work too.

I work under tremendous pressure every single day.

You don't even know that, do you?!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Do you even know how much I care for you?

To free up time for our anniversary,...

...I worked overtime everyday to finish up my work!

Ouch. It hurts!

Stop it!

Stop it! Stop. Stop.

Stop it!

Tatsuro.

Open up! Please!

Tatsuro! Please!

I'm going for dinner with Tatsuro now. Talk to you later.

Hattori Tatsuro

Look for him?

The police do not take any action if someone is missing.

Missing

But it's different if foul play is suspected.

- Foul play? - Like if a body was found.

Police

Please look for my husband.

- Who is that in the photo? - My husband.

I'll give you my bankbook and seal. Can you make payment for me?

Why don't you apply for internet banking?

I'm fine with it if you are willing to help. I trust you.

Does he really look so much like your friend?

Lin Long Hui

Who's there?

Hey. Stop there.

Actually, one of my worker doesn't have a passport.

Lin is an illegal immigrant.

Illegal Immigrant

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hurry up and make breakfast.

I'm off.

Take care.

Forget it. Sleep well for now.

Hello.

President. Do you know where is Lin now?

Oda. You fell in love with Lin, huh?

Guys from Shanghai love Japanese women.

Just tell me where is he.

I'm sure Lin hid his identity and is working at another shop now.

He should still be in Ikebukuro Chinatown.

Since he doesn't have a passport, he should be hiding out somewhere.

How can I contact him?

He has a phone.

Please tell me his number.

Hattori Tatsuro

Lin Long Hui

Saito Junko

Naomi?

I found it.

A way to kill your husband without getting arrested.

Where are we going?

Just follow me.

Are we really capable of killing Tatsuro?

Since you're Oda's recommendation, I'm okay.

This person is in Japan. He bothers you.

I do it. You will be saved.

To bury the body, we have to go somewhere far.

How about Tanzawa?

We also need dig the hole out in advance.

The first step decides everything.

There are many things I'd like you to do, Oda.

I will do a good job.

I'm not ready for this yet.

If it benefits me, I'll do it.

If it doesn't, I don't.

If anything happens to you, I'll regret it for life.
