Oh, my God!

It's so pretty!

Yes, but,

I found something even prettier.

Wait.

I barely know you.

I'll tell you whatever you want to know.

Well, what do you do for work?

Work?

You seem absolutely loaded.

Maybe your line of work is dangerous.

Do I look dangerous?

A little.

Don't worry.

I just sell things.

Sell what?

Houses.

-Good morning.
-Morning.

TOSAKA REAL ESTATE

-Good morning.
-Morning.

-Morning!
-Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Nagase!

Is that a new perfume, Sayuri?

You noticed!

SAICHI NAGASE
TOSAKA REAL ESTATE - SALES

Score! What a treat for the morning.
See you.

Okay! See you!

-Good morning.
-Morning.

Good morning.

-Hello!
-Good morning.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Good morning!

-Morning.
-Good morning.

Morning, Kiriyama.

TAKAHISA KIRIYAMA - SALES

Good morning, Nagase.

You sealed the deal on the property
yesterday. You're on a roll.

Won't be long before I'm overtaken.

-Morning.
-Morning.

-Nagase!
-Mr. Okawa.

Thank you for yesterday.

Sorry it ran overtime.

MASUMI OKAWA - HEAD OF SALES

Not at all. Good stories, good food.
We'll go again.

Excellent.

And also, I'd like you to show
our newest employee the ropes.

New employee?

SAKURA TSUKISHITA
NEW RECRUIT

Good morning.
My name is Sakura Tsukishita.

Good morning.

Why me?

Orders direct from the boss.

The boss?

Yeah. Got it?

It is such an honor to be under the wing
of the company ace.

Morning briefing is about to begin.

Is everything all right?

I'm fine. Nice to meet you.

THIS MONTH'S SLOGAN:
CONTRACTS OVER CHARISMA

Today we have a little pop quiz.

What is the tallest mountain in Japan?

-I know!
-Miss Tsukishita?

It's Mt. Fuji.

TALLEST MOUNTAIN
MT. FUJI, 3,776M TALL

But!

What is Japan's second tallest?

Second tallest?

The answer is Mt. Kita-dake.

SECOND TALLEST MOUNTAIN
MT. KITA-DAKE, 3,193M TALL

Nobody knows second place.

Therefore, there is a world of difference
between first and second place!

That is my point for today.

You realtors
are a dime a dozen these days.

Do not aim for second! Aim for first!

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Mr. Nagase!
You're going into a negotiation, right?

Can I attend with you?

Will you sit quietly and smile politely?

Smile politely?

If you have a pretty smile,
you don't even need to speak.

ISHIDA FAMILY - NEW BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

So what do you think, Miss Ishida?

Well…

do I really have to retire?

We've already talked about this.

If we close up shop and build a property,
we'll get rent coming in each month.

And the rent is guaranteed regardless
of whether there's a tenant, correct?

Correct.
It's a 30-year lump-sum rental guarantee.

We handle the tenants,
management, everything.

(ISHIDA FAMILY SUBLEASE CONTRACT)

We also negotiate the rent on your behalf.

You negotiate?

We take cost of living and tax increases

and other price hikes into account.

After the fourth year,
we can increase the rent by 3%

every two years.

See? No need to worry.

Aren't you tired of waking up early
all the time to make confections?

And you've been all alone
ever since Mom died.

He's right to be prudent.

But

you can trust us.

This isn't just for you.

It's for your daughter too.

And for your future grandchildren.

Grandkids?

Yes.
You've done well all your working life.

Now it's time for your land
to do the work for you.

All right, let's sign.

Thank you very much.

-My name here?
-Yes.

A SUBLEASE IS WHERE
A REAL ESTATE AGENCY

LENDS OUT A PROPERTY
ON THE OWNER'S BEHALF

Ishida.

Tsutomu.

The contract is now complete.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

What a pretty smile.

Can you smile again for me?

Me?

Yay?

You smile too. You're happy, right?

-Of course.
-Here we go.

An awkward smile is better than none.

And Mr. Nagase,

about closing the workshop
and building a new property on it…

You were considering
a second property on it, right?

Dad would like you to handle that as well.

I see.

-Thank you very much.
-Right?

We've already done
the first site inauguration ceremony.

I see.

SENDING

That was amazing!

You have my ideal sales style.

Ideal sales style?

Yes.

You're up-front and honest, and you
consider the client and their family

and even their grandchildren.

You don't lie, and the client
takes precedence over the company.

You really are customer first.

Customer first, you say?

-What?
-Nothing.

That's a lovely way of putting it.

I'll leave
the site inauguration ceremony to you.

Of course.

Miss Tsukishita.

Yes?

You'd better watch him.

What do you mean?

We all call him "Liar Nagase"
behind his back.

Liar Nagase?

The guy lies through his teeth
to get you to sign on the dotted line.

He will do whatever it takes.

He's a real swindler.

A swindler?

THE HONEST REALTOR

EP 1 OF 10 - THE REALTOR
WHO CANNOT TELL A LIE

Why is this still here?

PLANNED CONSTRUCTION SITE

It was hiding in the corner
amongst the weeds.

We didn't know whether or not
it should be destroyed.

CRAVE NOT, SPEAK NOT
A MONUMENT

Please remove it immediately.

Mr. Ishida will be here any minute now.

I'm so sorry.

I'm still stuck at another site.

Fine. I'll handle it myself.

Damn tradesman.

I'm never hiring you again.

Mr. Ishida finally wants
to build another property,

but if he sees this creepy thing,
he'll just get cold feet again.

Do you even know how much
this custom fit cost me?

What was that?

-Hello.
-Hey.

Mr. Nagase, I just heard.

You got another deal.
So, will you take me out to dinner?

Yeah.

All that damn perfume of yours
would overpower the food, so no.

-What?
-What?

What?

What was that?

We all know you're cheating with someone.

His wife will want a settlement
sooner or later,

so worry about that
rather than eyeing me up

because I doubt you have savings.

That's so mean.

What is going on?

This is bad.

What's going on?

What is this?

-Hello.
-Hello.

The site inauguration ceremony
took you a while.

Shut up!

Don't worry about me,
worry about yourself,

because you will never one-up me!

Pardon?

What is this? I can't keep my mouth shut?

Are you all right, Mr. Nagase?

Ever since the site
inauguration ceremony, you--

Don't talk, just smile, you simpleton.

-Simpleton?
-Nagase.

With that deal sealed,
shall we go get a drink?

No, thank you.

I am sick of all
your grandstanding stories.

You really think you're doing favors
buying cheap drinks in cheap bars?

You asshat!

Mr. Nagase!

You can't do that!

What the hell is going on?

I'm sorry. I'm leaving early for the day.

And why shouldn't I?

I'm the only one carrying this team.

I'm on a different level.

Excuse me.

You noobs better work hard.

Excuse me.

Why is this happening to me?

TOSHIRO TOSAKA
PRESIDENT

Is it stress? Is it fatigue?

What is going on?

Saichi.

I came to see you!

And who are you?

We spent the night together.

You said you'd tell me
whatever I wanted to know.

Yes, well…

There's nothing to say
to a cheap slut like you!

-I beg your pardon!
-I don't even know your name.

You're despicable!

Mr. Nagase?

I knew you weren't feeling well.

We were all worried when you left early.

You must be really tired.

Can you still do the briefing today?

"BRIEFING?"

Remember Mr. Ishida and his contract
to build a new property?

His daughter contacted us

and said she wants to discuss
the second property today.

"OKAY"

His daughter was so happy.

She's so happy
she got a good, fair contract.

That's nice.

It's a good thing she hasn't noticed
the contract is full of lies.

There it is again.

Full of lies?

What do you mean?

Mr. Ishida is borrowing 100 million yen
against his land to build the property.

We are handling the tenants
and the management.

It's a 30-year lump-sum rental guarantee.

We handle the tenants,
the management, everything.

Right.

So how is that a lie?

You still don't get it.

If, in a few years,
the rent is too expensive for the area,

we'll have to reduce the rent.

But you also said…

We also negotiate the rent on your behalf.

You negotiate?

After the fourth year,
we can increase the rent by 3%

every two years.

-Right?
-I said "can."

I did say we can negotiate
the rent on their behalf.

NEGOTIATE RENT CHANGES

And you meant
negotiate for more rent, right?

It can also go down
in negotiations too, you know.

What? No!

But you didn't mention that.

I was trying to be honest.

I suppose I did omit

the fact that there'll be a fancy
new condo there in three years' time.

A fancy condo?

Where do you think
students would rather live these days?

But it is a 30-year
lump-sum rental guarantee, right?

We're the ones put out
if the tenancy rate falls, right?

Did you read the contract?

We added a clause
stating we can withdraw whenever we like.

"This contract may be terminated early."

So if it's too hard for us
to handle the property,

we just abandon Mr. Ishida?

Yes, we abandon him.

This isn't a charity. This is business.

You can't mean that.

Look, you need to understand something
if you want to survive as a realtor.

We have a saying in this industry called
"three in a thousand."

THREE SUCCESSFUL DEALS
FOR EVERY THOUSAND

That means out of one thousand people
looking for homes,

only three of them
will go through to contract, right?

That's the loser way of thinking about it.

Three in a thousand for me means

for every one thousand words
only three are the truth.

But that means
everything you say is a lie.

An honest man is a fool.
Lying is the way to go.

That is my sales style.

Why am I blurting all this out
to the new employee?

Mr. Nagase.

You've got a client
looking for an apartment.

Tsukishita!

Yes?

Deal with them.

By myself?

You'll be fine, you can do…

Just shut up and go.

All you gotta do
is show them some reference materials.

RENTAL PROPERTY SURVEY

So, Miss Kakizawa,

where are you thinking of renting?

I just got my first job
here in Tokyo this year,

so I'm not too sure.

So you're a new worker like me.

Although in my case,
I had to stay back a year,

so I'm just a little older than you.

You're so honest, Miss Tsukishita.

Sorry about that.

My dad's pretty worried.

He's not too keen on me living on my own.

In that case, we'll try to find
an apartment that your dad approves of.

We'll find you something nice.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Takahisa Kiriyama.

There's nothing wrong with your brain.

NO ABNORMALITIES IN MRI

But my mouth
is literally moving on its own.

Mr. Nagase, couldn't it be
you're just working too hard?

Maybe…

What kind of lame diagnosis is that?

You call this a proper examination?
You quack!

What?

You say what people want to hear,
then take their money.

I'm going to leave a review.

Wow!

Nothing wrong with my brain,
and nothing wrong psychosomatically.

So what is this?

It's just one thing after another.

All that damn perfume of yours
would overpower the food, so no.

You will never one-up me!

It's a good thing she hasn't noticed
the contract is full of lies.

Everything I said was the truth
of how I really feel.

How can I keep working
if I can't lie anymore?

I've got my car payments
and my rent to make.

There's also that Scandinavian furniture
I paid for in full this month.

I can't take time off.

I have to work.

Dad's worried enough
about building one property.

He's not sure if he should
really go ahead with a second.

RESPONSIBILITY - SAICHI NAGASE

The site for the second property

was your father's
confectionery shop, wasn't it?

Well, he doesn't make confectionery
anymore, so we don't need it.

Oh, really? In that case,
have you considered selling the land?

-Sell it?
-Yes.

It might be difficult for you to handle
two properties if it's your first time,

but you don't need to worry
about that if you sell.

Is it really that easy to just sell it?

You can. If it's with me.

Mr. Nagase, Maki Ishida just--

-Miss Ishida?
-Yes.

I'll be handling Miss Ishida from now on.

Kiriyama, you're swiping clients now?

You weren't here when you were needed.

By the way,

we've scrapped the construction
of the second property.

The client has decided to sell instead.

SECOND PROPERTY CONSTRUCTION
RESPONSIBILITY - SAICHI NAGASE

-Sell?
-Yes.

Double dipping?

What's double dipping?

I think

Kiriyama already has a buyer in mind.

Buyer. Seller.

Brokerage fees from both
the buyer and the seller.

One property, twice the profits.

In our industry,
we call that double dipping.

What's wrong with that?

It's a win-win for everyone.

But it's even more of a win
for the company, and for me.

Nagase. The company president himself
gave the matter to Kiriyama.

You need to focus on training the newbie.

-Please, come in.
-Can I?

Of course.

-Come in.
-It's very spacious.

It sure is.

Wow.

It's nice.

It's got a nice bathtub.

It's got the perfect pressure.

Pressure?

If I've had a bad day,

I like to take a hot shower
and cry my heart out.

The shower washes away my tears

and makes me feel all better
and ready for the next day.

What is this idiot saying?

I totally get that.

She gets it?

I've decided. I want to live here.

You do?

You found it especially for me,
so it must be right.

Thank you very much.

I haven't been able to lie
ever since I broke that shrine.

That's got to have
something to do with it.

-Hello.
-Go ahead.

Hello, Mr. Ishida.

Hello.

This is where I raised my daughter.

This is where I used to work with my wife.

How many years have you been
in the confectionery business?

More than 50 years.

Never earned much from it.

What made you keep going?

Well…

Let's not get into that.

I'm gonna be a landlord from now on.

You said there were no risks involved.

Yes.

There's no…

There's no way there's no risk involved.

What?

Don't say it!

You can build a property
or you can sell the land,

but these things always come with risk.

Really?

Of course.
You should know better at your age.

You really didn't know?

Surely you discussed this
with your daughter?

Buying or selling a house is one of
the biggest decisions in your life.

It will affect your grandchildren.

Do not underestimate a realtor.

Mr. Ishida

called to say he is seeking legal counsel
on whether he can terminate his contract

to sell the land
and to construct the property.

You would go that far
over losing a client?

That was not my intent.

Then why did you do it?

I--

Nagase.

Your contract bonus is canceled,
and you will be penalized.

Okay.

But I will still make sure
to set things straight.

Will you now?

And if you don't,

will you resign?

-What?
-But sir,

you can't fire
our number one employee to date?

If they fail to sell a single house
next month,

I know plenty of number ones
who go on to resign.

Nagase.

You said you'd sort it out.

You'd better keep your word.

Of course.

MITSUTOMO BANK - YAOKI BRANCH

FINANCING SECTION

How was your blind date, Minami?

Complete failure.

You need him to be a doctor or something?

As long as he's got a real job,
I don't really care.

Then what's on this list of yours?

MINAMI ENOMOTO - FINANCING

Must be employed, must not be a criminal,
must be in good health,

must not be a picky eater, must like dogs,
must be able to parallel park,

must be good-looking, and that's it.

I think you'll struggle on that last one.

What about salary?

I don't care about money.

I have no intentions of quitting
whether I'm married,

whether I have children,
or whether I turn 60.

I will even be the breadwinner.

Then why even get married?

-Seriously?
-Is something wrong?

It's okay.

Let me know if you need anything else.

A little, lost hottie.

That's Mr. Nagase from sales
at Tosaka Real Estate.

-Mr. Nagase?
-He's a client of ours.

You're the latest addition
to the financing team, right?

This is bad. The payment
came out for the Scandinavian furniture.

TRANSACTION - BALANCE

This is not enough for this month's rent.

You're from Tosaka Real Estate, right?

Yes.

I just moved
to the financing department last week.

-My name is Minami Enomoto.
-I'm Saichi.

I will be dealing
with Tosaka Real Estate in the future.

I hope you'll enlighten me.

Of course,
and I could treat you to a meal…

But more importantly,
can I borrow some money?

-Excuse me?
-I'm sorry.

That was a joke. You were being funny.

Please excuse me.

This is bad.
I'd sooner die than get into debt.

Saichi Nagase.

CERTIFIED REALTOR

You ain't half bad.

HIDAMARI SO

So it's back to being dirt poor, I guess?

No, I'm going to sell so much next month
that I'll be able to go back.

They can all hate me,
they can call me a liar.

I'll get exercising to roll out
the testosterone and get totally pumped.

I've given up far too much to get here.

This is not where it ends for me.

TOSAKA REAL ESTATE
SAKURA TSUKISHITA

What's up?

Sorry, Mr. Nagase.

Are you free?

I'm just at home.

Given your position at work,
I bet you've got an amazing home.

I guess…

It's certainly one type of amazing.

What do you want?

It's Miss Kakizawa's rental viewing.

She's coming in with her father tomorrow
to sign the lease.

So will you join me?

Sure.

But make sure you e-mail it
to me next time.

Okay. Got it.

MAISON MATSUZAKI - 70,000 YEN
GREAT SECURITY FEATURES!

I'll send you the contract
and the paperwork for you to confirm.

NOTE: HIGH TURNOVER

MAISON MATSUZAKI

FREQUENT SHORT-TERM TENANTS

First we need to add your father
as guarantor along with his address.

RENTAL AGREEMENT

KAKIZAWA FAMILY
RENTAL APARTMENT AGREEMENT

I'm just so worried about my only daughter
going off on her own for the first time.

But you've found her a great place.

I can understand your concern.

-But it's full of security features.
-Yes.

Now we just need you
to stamp your seal here

and then we're done!

Got it right here.

Thank you so much, Miss Tsukishita.

You're very welcome!

It's somewhere I'd love to live myself,

so I'm proud to show it to you.

Right, Mr. Nagase?

Right.

Here it comes. Stop it. Don't say it…

But you wouldn't catch me living there,
even if the cruddy owner paid me.

What the hell am I saying?

We were only three seconds away
from sealing the deal.

What do you mean by that?

I'm saying there's a reason
the rent is so low here.

What's the reason?

-Why?
-Crap.

-Sorry, I have to go--
-What?

I'm going to blow
Tsukishita's first contract.

Mr. Nagase!

I don't have to go. That was a lie.

Why don't I tell you why the rent's cheap?

Please do!

It's in a good location,
and it's a good size.

The reason it's 70,000, and not 100,000
like the market rate, is the owner.

By owner, you mean that mild-mannered man?

OWNER MATSUZAKI

I looked into this note
that mentioned high turnover.

FREQUENT SHORT-TERM TENANTS

Most rooms had a change of tenants
not once, not twice, not thrice…

TENANCY PERIOD

…but four times a year.

Why is that?

They were chased out.

Can that even happen?

It can. By offering dirt-cheap rents
the owner attracts young girls.

He can then dress up as a stalker
and harass them with fake calls.

It'd be easy for him to do
living on the top floor.

But why would the owner
chase out his own tenants?

To take their deposit
and key money, of course.

Miss Kakizawa.

The rug, this garbage can,
and these curtains,

what was your plan for them?

I was going to get rid of them
and buy new ones.

Of course you were.

Did you read the contract?

It goes down to the finest detail.

"On vacating, the room shall be left
in its original state."

If you throw away
the cheap rug and the curtains,

the owner can claim your deposit
if it's not in the original state.

The deposit and key money
are each equivalent to one month's rent.

That's 140,000 yen down the drain
for just a few months.

With 20 properties being leased and
a new tenant every three to six months,

that's a new deposit each time.

The owner is laughing
all the way to the bank.

If you still want to live there
and put up with all of that,

then it's a pretty good deal.

You knew all this and you still tried
to get my daughter to sign?

That's not true…

That is exactly the truth.

Do you take me for a fool?

Wait, please! Miss Kakizawa!

I thought you did your best for me.

But that was a big fat lie!

No! I wasn't lying! I--

-I'm never coming here again!
-Let's go.

That was my first client.

Why didn't you tell me?

I misjudged you.

Contracts are everything in this world.

If you can't get to a contract,
we don't need you.

Sir, I can explain.

Explain?

How do I say this…

Get out.

MINERVA REAL ESTATE

Thank you, please come again.

Yes.

This is the perfect property
for such a lovely client.

Shall we move on to the contract?

INCOMING CALL
TOSAKA REAL ESTATE

Hello, this is Hanasawa.

RYOKO HANASAWA
MINERVA REAL ESTATE - SALES

Yes.

Tosaka Real Estate.

You say Saichi Nagase might be fired?

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

Let go of me!

Mr. Matsuzaki! Please stop!

-Let go of me!
-Mr. Matsuzaki?

-Let go of me! Let go! You!
-Please stop!

Let go!

I just had the enraged father of what
should have been my next tenant berate me.

This is your fault!

-Mr. Matsuzaki, please calm down!
-We can speak over here.

Are you kidding me?

This guy

just insinuated I dress up like a stalker
and harass girls over the phone

like it's some sort of fact!

This is slander.

What are you gonna do about it?

Shall we take this to court?

If not, you'd better apologize to me!

Nagase.

Get down on your hands and knees!

I am truly,

truly sorry.

But why should I get down
on my hands and knees

for an asswipe like you?

I beg your pardon?

I went to meet with a few of your former
tenants before the contract signing today.

Every single one of them stated
that you had harassed them.

One of the women even had
spy cameras installed within her home.

She was so frightened

that she would cry herself to sleep.

That's a lie! How can you lie like that?

Sorry,

but I cannot tell a lie.

I think you'll find
it's you who'd be in trouble at court.

You've got to be kidding!

I am never having you handle
one of my properties ever again!

Good!

I don't want any of my precious clients

anywhere near a perverted creep like you!

Damn it!

Move!

Mr. Matsuzaki!

I'm finished.

Guess I'd better start looking for work.

So,

I just came from apologizing
to Mr. Kakizawa and his daughter.

Were they mad?

No.

They were both really grateful.

What?

I am so, so sorry.

No, I spoke with my dad afterwards.

If Mr. Nagase hadn't been honest,

we would have gone
into that contract completely blind.

He was rude, yes, but then I realized
everything he said was the truth.

My daughter is safe thanks to you.

You're someone we can trust.

I'd like for you to find
another place for my daughter.

Please.

Thank you, really.

The rumors weren't true.

"Liar Nagase."

I've never seen someone

as honest as you.

Hello?

Mr. Ishida, about the other day…

Wait.

We're not going to complain.

Here. This is for you.

-What is this?
-Some of my confectionery.

Thank you.

So cute!

Cherry blossoms.

I talked it over with my daughter
after your visit.

I want to keep working.

Yep.

He said so yesterday.

I was worried about his health
so I wanted him to retire.

But…

after trying his treats
after such a long time,

it reminded me.

When I was a little girl,

I remember watching him make confections
in his workshop every single day.

I loved watching him.

So,

I think the place is too important
for us to just get rid of it.

So we're going to give up
on the second property and the sale

and Dad's going to keep working.

But,

we want you to handle
the first property, Mr. Nagase.

We can trust you.

I hope you'll do this for us.

I will.

Thank you.

Is that so?

We'll keep him around for a bit.

You got any more of these?

Sorry, I ate them all already.

By the way…

you asked me how I managed
to keep making confectionery

despite not earning much
for 50 years, right?

Yes.

It's nothing remarkable.

I'd still like to know, if you don't mind.

I like how happy people look
when they eat my confectionery.

That's why I did it for so long.

I see.

So you…

won't earn anything.

Guess not.

But that's work for you.

It's my passion.

I like to have fun.

I like to fish, take photos,
and do woodworking.

I'm making my own
altar to the Buddha at the moment.

One I'll eventually become part of.

I'm enjoying them all.

But what's most fun
is giving fun to others.

So…

I'm going to keep making confectionery.

Okay.

Mr. Ishida! Wait.

There's one more thing I have to ask.

We've had them removed already,

but do you remember the old
stone monuments in your garden?

Yeah, I know them.

What were they?

I believe they're meant to be
where a priest in the olden days

imprisoned an evil spirit.

An evil spirit?

Supposedly, if you disturb them
you'll unleash a curse.

A curse?

Don't take it to heart. It's just a story.

See you.

-Come on, let's go!
-Thanks for coming.

Then,

I can't lie anymore because I'm cursed?

Doesn't matter to me.
It's not that big a deal.

Why is everyone obsessed
with coming first?
