As long as your husband is alive, you are going to live in fear of his abuse?

I found it.

A way to kill your husband without getting arrested.

Lin will be Tatsuro's double.

Everything's going as planned.

Tatsuro didn't go missing.

She could have noticed something.

With this many evidence...

...we believe Hattori has escaped to China...

...after misappropriating 10 million yen from a client suffering from dementia.

You're free now.

It's been a while since I went on a trip with you.

The crime is too amateurish to be committed by a banker.

You don't think my brother would misappropriate?

Have you thought about how you will live from now?

I want to work.

You only live once.

That's why I've decided to enjoy life.

I also want to start afresh.

I need to talk to you two.

You said Tatsuro left on Saturday afternoon.

But the caretaker here said he didn't see him leave.

Instead he saw you, Kanako.

And your friend who comes here often.

In this apartment, there are CCTV...

...at the entrance, the elevator, and the carpark.

I just need to check them to know the truth.

I'm going to check the CCTV.

Let's go to the caretaker.

I'm afraid we cannot show you the footage...

...as it infringes on the privacy of our residents.

I understand your concern.

But someone is missing.

Could you inform your office and ask them about it?

Alright. Please wait.

Hello.

I've informed them.

But we really cannot show you the footage...

...unless the police requests for it.

I'm really sorry I couldn't help.

Excuse me.

You seemed relieved to know that we cannot check the CCTV.

That's not...

I believe Tatsuro will be back.

The bank has decided to settle this matter privately.

If you probe any further and the police takes action...

...Tatsuro will be arrested when he comes back.

I know I'm being selfish.

But I want to give him a chance to start over again.

Do you really believe Tatsuro misappropriated and went missing?

I don't want to believe it either.

But the bank has evidence that he has misappropriated.

His passport is missing too.

There is evidence that he has left for Shanghai.

I don't believe Tatsuro went missing.

Since the bank has decided not to make a police report...

...the police can't do anything and no one can check the CCTV.

The CCTV footage are kept for three weeks, right?

This means the evidence will be gone in 10 days.

I don't think his sister will back down with this.

I guess I shouldn't think of working.

If I start working, his sister will be suspicious.

You can't.

Kanako, you should work.

You said you wanted to, didn't you?

You just got free.

Do you want to live in fear of Yoko this time?

You're right.

That makes it meaningless.

If she says anything...

...just tell her you have to work because of the housing loan...

...and to protect this house until Tatsuro is back.

Although Yoko has doubts on Tatsuro's disappearance,...

...she cannot do much on her own without the police.

Our plan will not fall apart.

I'll protect the new life I just obtained.

Naomi & Kanako Episode 7

Ms. Oda, morning.

Morning.

Kanako. Work with your head held high.

You still need to repay Mdm Saito.

I'm sure they'll accept you as a respectable wife...

...waiting for your husband to come back.

President Li would be glad to hire you.

Her employees are all from China.

With a Japanese present, she'll have an easier time with negotiations.

Say.

You told her my husband and I are not living together, right?

How much does she knows about what we did?

I don't know.

Nice to meet you.

Oda has told me most of it.

You don't stay with your husband?

Yes.

We are getting a divorce eventually.

That's why I need to work and make a living.

Women are stronger than men.

Don't you think so, Shiraishi?

Yes.

Please start work immediately.

Thank you.

President Li, that depends if you agree with our terms.

But she's willing to hire me...

You can't give in to her.

Oda, I can hear you.

Kanako has the right to choose too.

A contract employee for three months.

Monthly salary of 300,000 yen. What do you say?

Looks like we need to discuss.

I'll treat you to lunch today.

Let's discuss there.

You need a Japanese employee more than anything else.

300,000 yen is reasonable.

Is this an extortion?

- 28 then. - 23. This is a lot too.

We meet halfway, 25.

24.

Didn't you say Shangai woman do not fret over small details?

You leave me with no choice. Alright.

250,000 yen for three months. But she has to start immediately.

Shiraishi, what do you think?

Thank you very much.

By the way, Oda.

When are you joining me?

Actually I plan to quit my job at the department store...

...and look for work as a curator.

I'm really sorry about declining your numerous offers.

You will come to me eventually.

Asahina Detective Agency

You want me to find your brother...

...who ran to Shanghai after misappropriating from his client?

I don't believe he went missing.

He was either set up, or mixed up in something bad.

I want to find new evidence for the police to take action.

From what you said,...

...what your brother did do not add up indeed.

My brother is getting promoted to his dream post.

His career is doing so well. Why would he go missing?

Reasons for disappearance are not limited to work.

Why don't you two be my younger sister?

My family are in Shanghai.

I also want a family in Japan.

There are old money in it.

They will bring you good luck.

A woman.

A woman?

Your brother could have a mistress.

That's impossible.

With a woman involved...

...it's not a problem if he does not know Shanghai.

That woman could be familiar with Shanghai.

Your brother could have another side you didn't know about.

Have you checked the CCTV at the ATM?

Yes. It was my brother who withdrew the money.

Was there anyone nearby?

CCTV are also found outside the ATM entrance at a bank.

If your brother was with a woman...

...she might be caught on camera.

This means we are not looking at who withdrew it.

We are looking for the person nearby at the ATM.

Can you obtain the footage from another angle?

I might be able to.

You should check the CCTV at the apartment too.

Alright.

This is your namecard.

Thank you.

Make a Japanese catalog right now.

We mail those out for business.

I always have my printing done at a Shanghai company.

So please find a contractor first.

Find a cheaper and better one than China.

Okay.

Come with me to negotiate with a hotel in the afternoon.

But I still don't know....

This is our product list. Take a look.

Learn what you don't know there.

Yes.

Thank you for treating me all the time.

I like eating with you because you always enjoy your food.

That's because your cooking is nice.

I cooked a lot when my husband and children were around.

So I ended up making too much.

You don't see your children?

My daughter is overseas.

My son is busy to even talk over the phone.

My husband is busy with election for Medical Board Director.

They don't eat home often.

About Mdm Saito's husband...

He passed away from stroke three years ago.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Have you been for a medical check-up?

I tend to overlook my health too.

Well, I haven't got a check-up for years.

Do you want to get one done?

I don't feel any unwell.

There is something called a brain dock. You can find out many things in a short time.

It can also prevent the onset of brain diseases.

Brain? Why brain?

Do I need a brain check-up?

No. It's just a precaution.

I can also look for a hospital for you.

Oda. Thank you for worrying for me.

You're welcome.

Coming.

I'll get the door now.

The rice guy is here.

From Kotobuki bank.

Thank you for coming over.

Come in.

Ms. Oda.

Hello.

I am now in-charge of Mdm Saito in Hattori's place.

I see.

You are the rice guy Hattori, right?

Well, Hattori is currently missing...

Take a seat.

I'll make some tea now.

I've heard about Hattori from Kanako.

The inquiry has ended?

Yes. It's over for the bank.

For the bank?

Actually I'm not satisfied with the results of the inquiry.

Neither is Hattori's sister.

She is determined to look for him.

But what can she do without the police?

She hired a P.I.

Tamagawa Chuo Police Station

Hello.

I'm calling from Jiyugaoka Maternity Clinic.

Mrs. Hattori. You have an appointment today.

You were supposed to come with your husband.

I'm sorry. I don't need to go anymore.

Goodbye.

Ms. Shiraishi.

Please bring us to the salon you visit next time.

We feel uneasy visiting a Japanese shop by ourselves.

Alright. Let's go together next time.

Really? Thank you.

- Boss, goodbye. - Goodbye.

Thank you. Bye bye.

Excuse me.

Do you want to make a description in Japanese for your products?

It's similar to the girls feeling uneasy with Japanese salons.

First, on the signboard outside, we can add "Japanese customers are welcomed."

Then on your every product, we can add a Japanese description.

This will make it easier for Japanese to visit your shop.

- Do it. - Alright.

What do you think of work?

I want to drink beer.

I think having a beer after work would be delicious.

Cheers.

It's nice.

Excuse me.

Thank you for hiring me.

When are you leaving your husband?

Just leave him already.

You're working now.

You can earn your own money, and carve out a new life.

You can't let your past tie you down.

But when you divorce, you have to get a good settlement.

I'll introduce you a good lawyer.

Okay.

I have faith in you.

I plan to open a branch in Shanghai someday.

I want to get a trustworthy person to be my business partner.

It'd be great if you could be that person.

You think too much of me.

Japanese are too modest.

Be more assertive.

Yes.

Oda is really strong.

You are Oda's friend. I'm sure you're strong too.

I'm certain about it.

A branch in Shanghai.

Kanako, look.

That guy.

An ordinary life is special.

I will do it well.

So you can have an ordinary life too.

Having a meal with you makes it delicious.

Lin.

Please make delicious Shaoxing Wine.

I will.

3-4 days tour to Shanghai

Mrs. Hattori. Can you wait a while?

Okay.

About the CCTV footage.

We cannot help even if you tell us the footage shown is insufficient.

What do you mean?

You don't know?

Your sister-in-law was here with a P.I.

A police officer from Tamagawa Chuo Station was present.

They wanted to view the footage as a relative.

So I got management's consent and showed it to them.

The CCTV footage?

Why was the police here?

I heard someone in the agency used to be a police.

He asked the officer to be present.

They also said you had agreed to it.

They never asked me about it.

Is that so?

They saw the footage from Saturday afternoon when your husband went missing.

But your husband didn't show up.

Then they asked for the footage from Friday night.

My office is really troubled as there is no end to this.

Madam, are you alright?

Kanako?

How was it?

I told the management office not to show them any additional footage.

I've talked to the manager too.

I promised them we won't asked for the footage again.

If his sister comes and ask for it, they'll call me.

So Yoko doesn't intend to back down.

Yoko will definitely come and ask...

...why I lied and said Tatsuro left on Saturday afternoon.

Mrs. Hattori lied?

Yes. The CCTV in the apartment...

...did not capture Tatsuro leaving on Saturday afternoon.

What do you mean?

Kanako knows why Tatsuro went missing.

But she refuses to talk.

So like the P.I. mentioned, he disappeared because of a woman?

Come in.

Thanks.

This is the footage from another angle you requested for.

I asked my batchmate in Security and he gave me these printouts.

Thank you.

Did it capture the entire place where the ATM is located?

Yes. I just received it, so I haven't checked yet.

If Hattori was working with someone, they might be inside.

Let's build up on that lie.

Your relationship with Tatsuro has gone cold long ago.

You don't even talk to him now.

That's why you didn't know about the promotion.

Tatsuro often stays away from home.

You don't know what he does outside.

He didn't come home on Friday either.

But as his wife, you didn't want to say that.

So you lied and said he left on Saturday afternoon.

Why?

Because he has a woman outside.

Your husband has left you for a mistress.

You don't want anyone to know that.

That's why you didn't want to look when he went missing.

Even Yoko will be convinced with this.

Tatsuro was alone at Hibiya Branch.

This is from Shinagawa Branch.

But will she believe Tatsuro has a mistress?

We have to convince her.

Hello.

Yoko? It's Tatsuro.

Tatsuro called me.

What did he say?

He didn't say anything.

Mom, that is...

It's Tatsuro. I know that.

He called many times yesterday.

He's trying to tell me something.

Tatsuro?

You're Tatsuro, aren't you?

Tatsuro, come home.

It's alright. Nothing will happen.

Where are you now?

Tatsuro is back in Japan.

Ms. Shiraishi.

Sorry. What did you say?

This is Garlic Fermented Black Beans Paste.

It's a mixture of sesame oil, fermented black soybeans, and garlic.

This is the list and proposal.

I have tagged the recommended products.

Wonderful.

My Shanghai supplier is coming to Japan with his family.

They want to visit Aoi Department Store.

I want you to organize a trade fair.

Shiraishi, you will help too.

Okay.

Hello. This is Li Corporation.

Mr. Suzuki?

Kanako, you don't look good.

I'm alright.

Did Yoko call?

She didn't.

I wonder why.

I thought she would rush right over and press you for an answer.

Is Oda here?

Tezuka. Where's Oda?

She went to Li Corporation.

Li Corporation?

That's Oda's client.

They distribute Chinese foodstuff in Ikebukuro Chinatown.

Chinese?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Thank you.

Is Oda close to Li Corporation?

Yes. President Li likes Oda a lot.

Oda also admires her. They meet up frequently.

What kind of person is President Li?

Her name is Li Zhu Mei.

She comes from Shanghai.

- Shanghai? - Yes.

She's really pushy and thick skin.

And quite the personality.

Ms. Hattori?

You have a fever. You caught a cold?

That's it for today. You can go home.

Sorry.

Oda. Ms. Hattori was here just now.

- Why was she here? - I don't know.

When I told her you were at President Li's...

...she started asking about you two.

Then when I told her President Li is from Shanghai,...

...she left in a hurry.

Li Zhu Mei contact details

Oda?

I'm leaving now.

- Take care. - Thanks.

President Li.

Are you Li Zhu Mei, President of Li Corporation?

Who are you?

I work with Oda from Aoi Department Store.

I'm Hattori Yoko.

You're Oda's friend?

I need to ask you something.

Do you know him?

He's quite stylish.

He's becoming more and more handsome.

You know him?

Of course I do.

Where is he now?

In Shanghai.

He left Japan and went to Shanghai.

Are you after him too?

A love triangle.

What do you mean?

Oda loves him too.

Was Oda going out with him?

I know everything.

A love triangle is so painful.

Oda, you left something here again?

Where's Kanako?

She has a fever. I told her to go home.

You called me, didn't you?

I was working in the back so I didn't hear.

Did a Hattori Yoko come here?

Hattori Yoko? She was here just now.

What did you tell her?

She showed me Lin's photo and asked if I know him.

I said I do.

Anything else?

She asked me where is he.

I said he went back to Shanghai.

Lin is so popular.

She might even chase him all the way to Shanghai.

You have to hurry up too.

What did she say after that?

When I was talking, she dashed off and disappeared.

Maybe she went to buy a ticket to Shanghai.

What's wrong?

If she comes here again, don't tell her anymore about Lin.

Don't worry. I'm on your side.

I told you my friend has an abusive husband, didn't I?

Actually, she is...

Shiraishi, right?

Hattori Yoko is related to Kanako's abusive husband.

What do you mean?

What has Lin got to do with it?

It's to protect Kanako.

Please don't tell her.

Hirosue Ryoko

Uchida Yuki

Yoshida Yo

- I'm back. - Thanks for your hard work.

Takahata Atsuko

Sato Ryuta

Tatsuro?!

Hello.

Kanako. We're in trouble.

Yoko came to find President Li.

She showed her Tatsuro's photo and asked if she knows him.

What did President Li say?

She saw the photo and mistook it for Lin.

Then...

...she said he went to Shanghai.

So his sister believes Tatsuro is in Shanghai.

Probably.

Then, what did she say?

When President Li was talking, she dashed off and disappeared.

What do you mean?

Hello? Naomi?

It was you, wasn't it?

I was thoroughly fooled by you.

You planned everything, didn't you?

Why were you there with Tatsuro at the ATM?

President Li told me after looking at Tatsuro's photo.

You are interested in him.

You had an affair with your friend's husband.

So you had no choice but to plan his escape abroad.

An affair?

I can't believe you're Tatsuro's mistress.

You told him to misappropriate from Saito Junko and run to China.

Then you waited for the bank to cover up.

Where is Tatsuro now?

I know everything.

I...

...don't know anything.

Tatsuro is back in Japan, isn't he?

I saw him.

Just now in Ikebukuro Chinatown

Tatsuro!

Tatsuro!

Tatsuro!

I lost him, but I'm sure that's him.

Ms. Shiraishi.

Lin?!

Why are you in Japan?

I wanted to see you.

So I came to Japan.

Let me see Tatsuro.

Bring Tatsuro here now.

Do you know your ex-employee, Lin Long Hui is back in Ikebukuro?

Looks like he isn't here.

I want you by my side.

Lin has a woman.

Sis, I'm sorry. I lied.

You dressed Lin up as Shiraishi's husband.

I will not let it end here.

Why?

If he refuses to go back...

...we have to make him disappear.

So you have been lying to me all this while.
