Drama 10

Last Summer...

...I was arrested on suspicion of arson and of attempted murder.

Of those responsible for my defense...

...one was someone I had taught as a study tutor ten years ago...

And then, that Summer...

...that boy and I fell in love.

Hijii Motoko-san... didn't murder anyone.

Ala? Isn't "that lawyer" your future husband?

Why am I jealous of a woman like her?

If there was something more between you than being a tutor and her student...

...you'd better make certain that no one finds that out.

Ever.

The Defendant is found not guilty.

You and I can meet freely now, can't we?

What are you going to testify about?

How about the story of the Defendant having sex with my younger brother up on the second floor of our house?

I remembered.

On the day of that fire...

From here on...

...whatever happens, I...

...will become a saint.

Excuse me.

This is a cell phone you can use to contact us.

Will you take and use this until you get one for yourself?

All right.

Um...

Do you have any hand cream?

Ah... if just an ordinary one will do.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Are you nervous?

Yes.

If by chance some strange question is brought up, it's okay not to answer it.

You can be frank about your feelings, but it's important not to say anything unnecessary.

Yes.

Well, since to the press you're now the heroine who was treated tragically...

...I think you'll be fine.

Is that right.

It's funny, isn't it?

Until just a few weeks ago...

...they were going around proudly saying I was "a villianess, a villianess."

Well...

You are beautiful, indeed.

This is good, isn't it?

This is what I told you, isn't it?

"Please leave this to me."

Looks as though all the preparations are set.

Where is Nakamura-san?

Ah, he contacted me saying he'd be here soon.

Is that right.

Wait, Haru-chan!

Um...

I heard a little of what Chikura-san said earlier...

You heard that?

Yeah.

If that really is true, then she...

Could you...

...not tell anyone about that yet?

Eh? But...

Please.

All right.

I'll trust you.

I'll... trust you, Haru-chan.

Yeah.

This time around... I will change.

Into a woman...

...who is pure...

...strong and noble...

...and one that no one...

...will ever be able to stain with anything.

That sort of woman.

Woman Saint

Let me ask this of Hijii Motoko-san.

Episode 5 "Last Kiss"

Please tell us of your impressions of this current trial.

I feel I am at this happy place...

...thanks to all those who gave testimony for me at the trial...

...and to these reliable lawyers of mine...

...and to all those who lent me their support.

Well then, next question.

The woman there.

I am Ioka of Sowa Newspaper.

Now that you have been cleared and can do as you please...

...do you think you'll want a job that is involved with paintings again?

That's true.

If I could, I do think I'd like to find work that involves paintings.

I am Sato of "Weekly Truth."

During the trial, the word "Saint" was mentioned multiple times...

...and yet between the word "Saint"...

...and the image of you, Hijii-san, going out with so many rich men...

...it just feels like there's this huge gap.

What do you think about that?

As we thought, strange questions are appearing.

You don't have to answer.

No...

I don't know about that.

What my image is isn't something that other people can decide on.

Well then, Hijii-san...

...what do you think your existence was to the men you dated?

A saint? A villianess?

I don't know that, either.

Just that...

...they all said I was essential to them...

...and that the times they spent with me were happy ones.

I see.

So that's why, when you were given all that money from them...

...you didn't feel the need to put up any resistance against taking that at all, right?

I'm sorry.

As we told you at the start, we would only allow one question per person.

The next question....

Yes.

I put up no resistance to it.

I didn't put up any resistance at all.

Well then, I will conversely ask you this question.

Between a man who would spend hardly any money on the woman he was seeing...

...and a man who would spend as much as possible on her...

...of the money he had worked so hard for...

...and would make an effort to provide her with wonderful presents.

Which man do you think a woman would normally come to prefer?

Huh?

Well...

You don't have to answer.

Let's pray you are not the former type of man.

And so, as it's about that time...

Just a moment, please! Just one final question, please!

Did you really love the victims?

What sense of values do you have what with that love for money of yours...

Don't you think what you did was against God's love?

Quiet down!

Please keep quiet!

Could I have a moment? Just a moment.

Could you stop idealizing love any longer?

"Love is everything."

"Love will save us."

Recently love has become some sort of noble thing...

...but to begin with, love is a type of desire.

It's the start of a deep attachment.

It has a beautiful sound to it...

...but is very vague and dangerous.

Compared to that...

...Hijii-san's requests have been truly simple.

I've seen as she's asked for 3 flimsy 100 yen towels...

If they were being put up in a high-quality hotel...

...anyone would ask for high-quality towels.

She asks for bread crusts...

...rather than croissants, fragrant with butter, hot out of the oven.

Cheap imitations rather than glittering jewelry.

Rather than a woman who can't do housework...

...she's chosen to be a good woman.

There are people who would call that love...

...and others who would call it mercenary, aren't there?

However, it is simply living according to natural laws.

People merely choose someone...

...who makes themselves feel much happier.

And as we all know...

...no matter how deep the affection may be, nor how much effort is put into it...

...is there ever a promise that happiness will come from it.

Stop idealizing love more than is necessary.

Isn't this not...

...the important thing that Hijii Motoko-san has taught us...

...from this current trial?

Director.

There's something I need to talk to you about, Director.

Talk to me about?

Do you have a moment?

Yeah.

Well, truth is...

Thanks for your hard work.

Oh, thanks for yours.

We were talking about taking Hijii-san out to dinner just now.

Ah, that would be good.

Thank you very much.

Then, could you reserve a restaurant, Nakamura-kun?

Nakamura can't do that.

Rookies need to head back to the office...

...and start processing the backlog that's been building up.

And to make preparations for the party celebrating her innocence.

Your talk can wait until tomorrow, right?

Yes, I understand.

Then, we girls will decide on a restaurant, right Tanaka-chan?

Yes. Leave it to us.

Well then, let's go.

It isn't possible for your call to be answered right now.

Please leave your name and contact information...

Maria-san

...within twenty seconds after the tone.

Ma... Maria-san?

Ah... Sorry for calling over and over like this.

I asked a girl at Maehara's office for this number.

Well...

I thought you might be bothered about...

...not knowing my contact information yet.

So I've been leaving the phone number to this hospital over and over...

Dear.

Why?

Why hasn't she contacted me yet...?

Come...

Mom...

Mom.

I did it.

This will do.

This will do.

It's been awhile.

It was fun, wasn't it?

It wasn't fun.

Thing is, this all happened because you died.

It's because you failed to manage your company...

...and then went and died.

You were clear about it. That your goal was money.

You're right there.

That innocent-child charm of yours hasn't changed a bit.

But it really wasn't that I hated you.

That doesn't mean I loved you as a man...

...but I did think of you as a good friend and as a partner.

You don't have any friends to whom you could tell your true intentions to, do you?

That's right.

I was sad at your death.

That isn't a lie.

No... That isn't a lie.

What'll you do about that man from here on?

Are you truly serious about him?

I am.

I... love him.

This is the first time I've had this feeling.

Do you think you can find happiness like this?

I...

...will be happy.

Of course I will.

Maria-san...

...did something a little strange.

I might have been happier if I hadn't remembered this, huh?

It can't be...

But...

Koike-san, thanks for your hard work.

Thanks for yours.

Anyhow, you haven't had anything to eat, have you?

Here. I had them wrap this up.

Ah, I'm sorry. Thank you very much.

Ala? Still looking over the Chikura-san data?

You're serious about this, even though the trial's over, huh?

Yes, hello? This is Izumi.

Hello?

Sorry for calling so early.

But have you seen it, Izumi-san?

"Weekly SHOT."

"Weekly SHOT," on page 18.

There's a huge photo of Haruki.

"The handsome lawyer who saved Hijii Motoko," it says.

You could say Haruki has come into his own, couldn't you?

With this, Izumi-san can feel at ease about becoming a bride.

Is that right.

Have you two met since then?

Have you settled on your plans for the ceremony yet?

No.

I'm going to ask about the details with him again today.

Sorry for being in a rush. Excuse me.

Hijii Motoko-san - Announcement of a Party to Celebrate Her Innocence

Did you say "Izumi-san"?

Yeah. She's a nurse.

Ehh... An angel in white, huh?

Mom, you're always happy when you talk about her, aren't you?

That's true.

She really is a bright, kind girl.

Haruki really found himself a good one!

Let's see...

The Prosecutor immediately filed for an appeal.

Hijii Motoko-san's Innocence Party

In other words, this battle still has a long ways to go.

Innocence Confirmed

All of you, thank you for your continued support.

Congratulations upon this occasion.

Thank you very much.

To be honest, I just don't care much for her.

Ah... that's right.

Your boyfriend is unemployed and broke, right?

Eh?!

No way!

How do you know that?

Eh?

When we were at that yakitori restaurant, you got drunk and talked about him.

Is that right?

Ehh... That's surprising.

Yes, yes, that's right.

Rather than a guy who wastes money on fluffy towels...

...I prefer a guy who takes me to cheap onsen inns instead. That's the sort of woman I am.

I like those inns, too.

It's not that.

But setting aside that talk.

I'm scared.

Scared?

Hmm... I wonder if a man could understand this feeling?

Good luck on the next appeal.

Ah, thank you very much.

Izumi?

Ah, please excuse me.

Izumi.

Ah.

Eh? What is it? Is something wrong?

Eh? "Something wrong?" I was invited here by Maehara-san.

He said it's because he felt indebted to me for all the the help I gave with Chikura-san.

Ah... I see.

Thanks when you're so busy.

No.

And besides... I was worried.

That you've had to deal with all this without me.

What is it?

Well...

Well, I really didn't think you'd be able to see through me about everything.

Are you a lawyer?

I trust my lawyers 100 percent.

Therefore, I believe I'll be sure to win the next one.

Well... we just have to do our best when she's willing to put it like that.

Well, we'll put our full strength into it.

We'll be counting on you again.

Oh... You came, Izumi-chan.

Let me introduce you.

Welcome.

Good afternoon.

Do you remember her?

Ah, no...

Ah... during the trial...

She was the nurse attending on Chikura-san.

She is Nakamura's fiancee.

Fiancee?

Yes. Hello there.

My name is Motomiya Izumi.

Na... Nakamura was greatly under your care.

Ah... me, too.

I am under his care.

You have a splendid fiancee, don't you?

Director, a moment.

Yeah.

I don't honestly know if he's splendid...

But he is kind and a boyfriend I can boast about.

Really?

Yes.

Kind...

I am anxious there's a part of him that can be too kind and sweet to just anyone...

...but I feel I can support all parts of him, including those, with all of my power.

Wait... Izumi.

Don't say unnecessary things.

But I'm just telling the truth.

But in a place like this...

Sorry.

Ah, that's right. I got a call from your Mother earlier...

Izumi-san.

Ah, hello there.

Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you, I'm Motomiya Izumi.

Though I had heard rumors about it.

Thank you very much.

Hijii-san. Let me introduce you.

This is Hasegawa-san.

He runs a real estate business in Tokyo.

He's a person with a great deal of knowledge about human rights issues.

How do you do? My name is Hasegawa.

Well... it's an honor to meet you.

Excuse me.

Huh?

Um... I could use a bit of fresh air.

I'm feeling a little ill.

Ah. Tanaka-chan.

Yes?

Bring some water.

Ah, very well.

Will you sit?

Is there something the matter?

Don't worry.

If I can just calm down a little...

But you look pale.

By today, you should already be feeling relaxed.

That's true.

Please leave the rest of today up to us.

Let's send you to the hotel.

I'll start the car.

Here you go.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Would you like to lie down for a little while?

Hello?

Hello?

I finally connected to you!

It's me. Chikura.

Thank goodness!

Ala?

Hello?

Anyone there?

Chikura-san.

Thank you for everything up until now.

What is this? Suddenly acting all cold.

I'm grateful for the many kindnesses you showed me in the past.

I'm truly happy you have returned to consciousness.

I hope the day comes soon...

...when you will have recovered and have safely returned to your family.

Family?

Well, "family"...

Oi, what on earth were you trying to say earlier?

From here on...

...I feel I want to reflect on who I was, find myself a new path, and start walking along that.

Oi...

Don't you want to hear what I have to say?

Maria-san?

Truly, thank you very much.

Please, take care.

Dear!

Dear, are you okay?!

Dear.

What a fool I am!

Dear, steady yourself!

I'm such a fool!

Dear!

I want to die already!

Kill me!

Anyone!

Someone kill me right now!

She is Nakamura's fiancee.

Hello there. My name is Motomiya Izumi.

Good afternoon...

Welcome.

This is the first time we've met, isn't it?

I'm Haruki's older brother.

No way...

Whaa... Haru-chan's older brother?

Um... "Katsuki-san," isn't it?

Nice to meet you. I'm Izumi.

Cheerful, aren't you?

Come on inside.

Yes!

It's great meeting you! Sorry for the bother.

Still, Nakamura-kun's done quite a bit, too.

And he's caught himself such a cute fiancee, too.

She's cheerful, bright and level-headed.

Right? I'm cheering for those two, too.

That's right...

The chances of winning a fiancee such as him just went down the drain...

Eh? What? Tanaka-chan, could it be you like Nakamura-kun?

No, no, it's not that.

This is just a woman's intuition...

...but I got the feeling Hijii-san likes Nakamura-san just a little.

Well, that couldn't be, right?

Think about what you're saying.

Really?

Ah, Tanaka-san.

Do you have the guest list for today's party?

Ah, I do.

Please wait just a moment.

You must be tired, Nakamura.

Have you gotten a little of the impression that the world and press now see you as a lawyer?

No such thing.

Besides...

Huh?

Ah. What you wanted to talk to me about yesterday?

Um... It's about Chikura-san.

Ah.

Oh, it's Kurosawa-kun. Here.

Eh?

Hello?

Yes.

Eh?!

Hijii-san is gone?

I searched through the hotel, but she just isn't around.

I can't reach her on her cell phone, either.

For pete's sake, why does she think I gave her a cell phone?

What'll we do if she just stays missing like this?

Eh?

If it gets around to the Prosecution that she's started to act strangely...

...that will put us at a disadvantage during the appeal.

And in the first place, since she's so well known by face...

...letting her wander around on her own is dangerous.

Where on earth could she have gone to?

I can't think of any places at all she could have gone to, though.

Ah... Nii-san, you don't have to do that.

No, please, please let me.

Mom's late in getting back from shopping.

She must be in high spirits.

She really looks forward to you coming, Izumi-san.

No.

Since Haruki-san is always busy, I have to come calling here alone...

...so I do feel sorry about that.

You have a nice smile.

Eh?

That's true.

I think Haruki surely feels complete now.

He got to save his first love, after all.

First love?

Ala? Didn't you know?

Hijii Motoko was Haruki's first love back when he was in high school...

Well, could it be better said that she was his first experience with sex?

Oh, no...

Sorry. You didn't know anything about it, huh?

He's such a fool.

Going out of his way to hide it like that just makes him look suspicious.

Yes...

I didn't know about it.

But Haru-chan...

Ah...

I had heard Haruki-san did have a sad love, long ago.

He was hurt quite a bit at that time...

...and it's been painful to him whenever he thinks about it...

...so I can understand somehow how Haruki-san felt when he met her again.

After all...

...she's someone Haruki-san had fallen in love with, isn't she?

Still, I would never have thought that she was the one.

But...

But, I'll be fine.

After all, Haruki-san...

Haruki-san did his very best at work in order to save her.

That's right!

And besides, I happened to meet her today...

...and I introduced myself to her as his girlfriend, too.

Ehh... Ah, I see.

You're okay with it.

I'm happy about that.

Still...

...you're the sort of person Hijii-san would hate the most.

A person like you, with a smile like the sun.

What do you mean?

How would you know something like that?

Oh, I know.

Because I hate you, too.

I...

...just want to see the look of suffering on the faces of you and Haruki.

Why?

Why would you want that?

Haruki...

That guy is just so stupidly obedient.

Both Dad and Mom...

...couldn't help feeling that idiot was adorable ever since he was a child.

What's more, even though he's an idiot, he made it into Tokyo University through that woman's influence.

Then all of Mom's pride went over to him.

What's more, he passed the bar exam while still attending school...

He stumbled into a job...

...while I joined a second-rate company where I was treated like trash.

As much as that guy's like a shining sun...

...I'm like a shadow.

Attracting no one's attention...

...I became a shadow, always caged in my room; the world turning its back on me.

But that'll soon be over with.

I'd bet my life on it.

That Haruki will forget all about you and indulge himself in that woman once again.

When the appeal comes, I'll expose all of it.

That the Defendant and her lawyer had an inappropriate relationship.

And then that guy'll lose everything.

His precious job...

...and his cute fiancee, too.

All thanks to Hijii Motoko.

Why?

Why are you telling me such a thing now?

Who knows.

I'm sure though...

...it's because I wanted to see the look of sadness on your face.

A face distorted and ready to cry at any moment, just like that one.

She's here...

She's here!

Hijii-san, what are you doing?!

I'm sorry.

I was looking at the ocean.

What are you saying? Even though you aren't feeling well.

Anyhow, please be sure to contact me whenever you want to go somewhere.

You've just been found innocent, so this is an important time.

You've worried all of us.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'll bring the car around.

I'll get more details from you later about how you knew about this place.

Hijii-san.

Come to the hotel later.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

Say, please.

Could you stop speaking so politely for tonight?

Yeah. All right.

In Kitakyushu...

...I met the priest there.

Ah...

That brings back memories.

There are things back there I don't want to remember anymore...

...but even now I dream about the face of the Maria at that church.

And about meeting Haruki-kun at the beach.

Me, too...

I dream of that even now, too.

I...

...became scared for the first time after I met you.

Of losing you.

I hadn't thought such a thing with any of the others I had gone out with.

Why did you think you would lose me?

Because...

...back then, I was already living off the money I was asking from Agawa-san.

I was his lover.

And besides, having lied about everything about my life...

...I understood from the very start...

...that a vulgar person like me just didn't deserve Haruki-kun.

So, if I came to love you more...

...I grew scared you'd come to know who the real me was...

I was scared of being hurt...

That's why...

...since I'd have to lose you someday...

...I thought it would be best if I was the one who disappeared.

It's the truth.

But... I couldn't forget you after that, either.

For me, as well...

Say. Do you remember the promise?

About how when you grew up, you'd make me your lover.

Can I come up to your room?

Hello? This is Motomiya.

Eh?!

I'll be honest.

Even now...

...I love you.

You were my first love.

I love you.

I love you so much I seem to lose consciousness...

I've wanted to do this again with you since forever.

Me, too...

I wanted to do it with Haruki-kun, too.

But...

Who I am now...

I don't mind that you have a fiancee.

I'm not thinking of monopolizing you.

With you knowing everything about me, I understand that I'm an extravagance.

But...

But if I can only be connected to you like this, then I...

Do I...

At this point, Haruki has returned to speaking politely again

...really know everything about you?

なぐさめの台詞なら 今はまだ欲しくない Nagusame no serifu nara ima wa mada hoshikunai If it's words of comfort, I don't want those just yet

Sorry for calling you on your day off.

Actually, Chikura-san jumped off the roof of the hospital.

あなたのその声に 似合う言葉ではないから Anata no sono koe ni niau kotobade wa nai kara Because such words don't go well with that voice of yours

Toto First General Hospital. Please hurry.

Yes.

Reserve an operating room!

Dear!

Dear...

『これで終わりにしてよ』 切りだしたのは私 “Kore de owari ni shite yo” kiri dashita no wa watashi "We have to end this" The one who cut things off was me

It seems Chikura-san remembers.

きらめいてる想い出 錆びてゆくまえに Kiramei teru omoide sabite yuku mae ni Before these glittering memories turned to rust

That just before you left the apartment...

...you threw away a half-smoked cigarette to the floor.

『あきらめるには早い』 あなたはそう言うけど "Akirameru ni wa hayai" anata wa sou iu kedo "It's best to end it early," is what you said, but

やり直せないことはわかっているはずよ Yarinaosenai koto wa wakatte iru hazu yo You should understand we can't start over again

Didn't you really intend to murder him?

ふたつの現実(ﾘｱﾙ) ひとつの真実 Futatsu no RIARU hitotsu no shinjitsu The reality for the two of us was just one truth

Are you... really a saint?

こんな場面出遭う予感がしていた Kon'na bamen de au yokan ga shite ita I had a premonition of just such a scene when we first met

なぐさめの台詞なら今はまだ欲しくない Nagusame no serifu nara ima wa mada hoshikunai If it's words of comfort, I don't want those just yet
