1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,170
If we antagonize Hokuto Construction
in Kahoku City,

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,529
the relations between ourselves and
the city officials will become strained.

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,441
I think we should abandon our bid
for the construction work at the Civic Hall.

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,562
You're right!

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,966
We should back off.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,491
- Excuse me!
- Yes?

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,921
Goon

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,128
I'm Ohshita Hiroshi
from the Design Department.

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,762
I'm excited about my work
for the first time in several decades.

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,966
A salaryman can't get things
done on his own.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,881
Please!
Please help me to get this work!

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,607
You don't need to grovel, Yajima.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,965
The Design Department's putting everything
it's got into the estimate for the Civil Hall.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,445
I'm talking about the attitude of a young
staff member determined to put up a fight,

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,089
and his enthusiasm was something
I'd almost forgotten.

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,451
There are practices going on in
Kahoku City that shouldn't be allowed.

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,441
We've been turning a blind eye to things.

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,969
I don't think it's possible to get rid of all the
dubious practices of the construction industry.

19
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:21,042
But I can't stand those former government
officials who never take any risks,

20
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:26,201
and make excessive profits
by abusing their positions.

21
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,409
We're fighting a just war.

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,451
Idiot!

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,684
Yamato is a major company,

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,770
but only twentieth in size
in the construction industry in Japan.

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,851
Companies don't survive simply
from taking an ethical stance.

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,969
But what if Yamato breaks the
bureaucrats monopoly in Kahoku City?

27
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,488
Yamato will become a major player in the
North East District, and throughout Japan.

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,563
That's what we can gain
from this war.

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,526
But if we lose,
Yamato Construction is finished.

30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,801
The die is cast!

31
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,161
Total war against
Hokuto Construction!

32
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,689
Director!

33
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,565
I don't think we've got
any other option.

34
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,447
Kin-chan!

35
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:41,961
<i>K nearly get there,
Then! lose my confidence.</i>

36
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:50,971
<i>I look at the sky and wonder,
Will get to where my dreams come true'?</i>

37
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:58,808
<i>Life used to be so easy for me,
And now time is running out.</i>

38
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,485
<i>K left my mistakes behind me,
Because! wanted to change.</i>

39
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,610
<i>But! haven't changed.</i>

40
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:17,049
<i>K built a rainbow over the thunder clouds,
And time and space, and! started to run.</i>

41
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,522
<i>I'll climb that rainbow to a world beyond,
Where my heart will learn to sing.</i>

42
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,961
<i>And! will come to see tomorrow.</i>

43
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,288
<i>I can flow.</i>

44
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,408
<i>I can go endlessly.</i>

45
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,083
<i>If I find my peck of courage in time and space,</i>

46
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,007
<i>I will start walking again.</i>

47
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,086
<i>DARK FOG IN KAHOKU</i>

48
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,762
You've made me a small fortune again,
haven't you, Mr. Akamori?

49
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,762
Still, you've got your work cut out,
deceiving the inspectors.

50
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,164
Look after your own affairs.
How much is it this time?

51
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,528
Roughly 6 million yen.

52
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,722
Are we splitting the profits
fifty-fifty as usual?

53
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,603
OK, we'll place another order with you
during next week.

54
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,084
We'll only give you a proof of delivery
note as usual, will we?

55
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,244
Yeah.
Don't bother to deliver the goods.

56
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,166
All we need is a POD
with an attached listing.

57
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,969
See you later, then.

58
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,567
I don't like going fifty-fifty.

59
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,564
We'll go forty-sixty next time,
Director lshiguro.

60
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,287
Let's move it.

61
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,643
President Kuramoto will be in a
bad mood if we keep him waiting.

62
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,770
He doesn't know his place.

63
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,051
Yamato Construction is a major company
but it doesn't have much push.

64
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,526
They must be wetting themselves.

65
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,960
Yamato.

66
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,170
We'll exclude you from the preferred listing
in the whole of the North East next time.

67
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,807
You can take that as read.

68
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,881
You heard? Shibahata Building Firm
made it public that we're backing them.

69
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,763
We can't let Yamato take this
construction work on at the Civic Hall.

70
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,721
We'll make them eat shit
at the tender.

71
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,369
We'll show them who
Hokuto Construction really is.

72
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,963
We know the floor price,

73
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,971
so there's no possibility that
we could lose the contract.

74
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,766
Of course not.

75
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,569
But we don't want their price
too close to ours.

76
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:52,368
The bidding will have to end
in a huge loss of face for them.

77
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,207
President Kuramoto is right.

78
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,321
Hokuto Construction's power
is unassailable even in a proper tender.

79
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,602
Let's hammer it into
everyone's head in Kahoku City.

80
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,168
This is a good opportunity
to show the world what happens,

81
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,444
when a private company takes on people
who've worked for the government.

82
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,964
Department Chief Handa.

83
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,090
You know what to do, don't you?

84
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,681
This way we can't lose.

85
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,965
And I'm going to
have to ask you to do it.

86
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,006
What's that face for?

87
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,168
But it means that...

88
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,970
What are you grumbling about?

89
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,243
This was all your stupid fault
in the first place!

90
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,561
Come, come, Chief of the Executive
Department, let's not quarrel.

91
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,371
We'll do whatever needs to be done.

92
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,480
Leave it to me.

93
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,650
Good.

94
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,486
We must not go wrong.

95
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,131
The figure must be
just above the floor price.

96
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,961
We'll virtually be in single combat
with Hokuto Construction.

97
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,565
It's going to be a singles-game.

98
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,130
Are we going to win?

99
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,727
We sure are!

100
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,043
We'll stake our lives on this
being the winning number!

101
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,684
Here you are, Sub-Chief.

102
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,125
This is the estimate
for the Civic Hall.

103
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,010
They said we're definitely going to win.

104
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,681
Oh, sorry.

105
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,041
I didn't realize you had a guest.

106
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,322
He's come to see you, not me.

107
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:20,969
Eh?

108
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,966
I'm lmai,
from Kahoku Construction News.

109
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,566
He says he wants to interview
you about the fire.

110
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,444
It's for the local news.

111
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,365
Not only about that.

112
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,765
I've heard a lot about you.

113
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,368
You're very unusual for a salaryman,
aren't you?

114
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,002
I'd like to write about you
for a special issue called 'Young Lions'.

115
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,928
We're turning the spotlight on young
salarymen instead of famous elderly people.

116
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,724
Don't you think it's a good idea?

117
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,164
Excuse me, Sub-Chief,
will you settle the account please?

118
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:00,408
Mr. Yajima.

119
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,203
At the fire,
I just did what I could.

120
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,883
I think being a salaryman is interesting
and I hope to be one for the rest of my life.

121
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,329
Because I like Yamato Construction.

122
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,125
That's all.

123
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,040
Excuse me.

124
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,322
Your real aim is in
something else, isn't it?

125
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,724
That's just like you, Mr. lgo.
You're a good mind-reader.

126
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,848
How much do you know about
Hokuto Construction?

127
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,364
A bit, I don't know if we'd want
to carry a story about them, though.

128
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,764
Unless you wanted to share your insights
with us giving a competitor's point of view.

129
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:46,724
It's going to be a good thing for Yamato
Construction if we attack Hokuto, isn't it?

130
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,123
Sorry about that.

131
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,731
I hate this kind of strategy, using
someone like you to attack the opponent.

132
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,362
What?

133
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,731
I don't want to be in cahoots with someone
who only fights on the winning side.

134
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:03,851
What do you mean?

135
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,330
I wouldn't be awarded any medals
for winning if you were my ally.

136
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,363
This could be mega.

137
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,322
I didn't know Yamato Construction
was so strait-laced.

138
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,080
As you know, we can be
on whichever side we want.

139
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,925
You might come to regret this.

140
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,760
I won't regret it.

141
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,123
Put me through to
the Design Department.

142
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,408
<i>Design Department.</i>

143
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,091
It's me.
Go through that estimate again.

144
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,202
Raise the price by 2 million yen.

145
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,440
If you don't change it,
it'll be under the floor price,

146
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,649
and we'll lose the war before it starts.

147
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,121
Hey!
Let's try again!

148
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:49,528
What?

149
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,404
The tender takes place tomorrow.

150
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:53,005
Mr. lgo didn't approve the estimate.

151
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,322
He didn't?

152
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,968
Go through the data once again!

153
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,166
We're going to have to work all night!
We'll need plenty of food and coffee.

154
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,322
We're <i>not going to win this,
even if</i> we <i>get our sums exactly right.</i>

155
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,128
<i>The closer we are, the more foolish
we're going to be made to look.</i>

156
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,763
Hokuto Construction will put in a lower
price if we raise our price by 2 million yen.

157
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,162
This is a bid we are
unable to win anyway.

158
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,801
<i>Where's Papa?</i>

159
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,244
He's working and can't come home.

160
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,363
Are we going to sleep
together tonight, Ryuta?

161
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,801
Yes!

162
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,763
It's really spot on this time!

163
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,684
Wake up, Kintaro!

164
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,201
We've done it!

165
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,203
This figure must be right on target.

166
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,682
We're going to take on Hokuto
with this figure.

167
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,766
Let's go!

168
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,241
<i>KAHOKU CITY HALL</i>

169
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,566
<i>A TENDER FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
WORK OF THE CIVIC HALL</i>

170
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:04,920
<i>WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN MEETING
ROOM 1 AT 10 AM TODAY.</i>

171
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,371
Don't you think the atmosphere
is different today?

172
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,130
There's an unusually large number
of people here as well.

173
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,966
Of course.

174
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,730
It's not a rigged bid this time.

175
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,850
It's the first gunfight in quite a while.
This game's being played in earnest.

176
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,241
It's only natural that
everyone's on edge.

177
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,882
Look
Shibahata Building Firm is here.

178
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,162
They've brought five of their team here,
so they must be expecting to win.

179
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:35,002
Obviously.
Hokuto Construction is backing them.

180
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,685
Oh!
Yamato has Mr. lgo!

181
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,761
They're taking it seriously, I heard.

182
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,483
Not only Yamato.
There are other companies here, too.

183
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,561
It'll be the first game
played in earnest for quite a while.

184
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,727
Other companies are jumping on the
bandwagon and deciding to have a go.

185
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,201
If they win...

186
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,365
It's time to go. We'll be suspended
from nominations if we're late.

187
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,925
There are so many people,
aren't there?

188
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,565
So what?

189
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,167
Hey, Handa!

190
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,130
Y...yes.

191
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,967
You know what to do, don't you?
Don't make a blunder.

192
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,646
Do you understand?

193
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,883
Yes.

194
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,524
Gentlemen, we're ready
to receive tenders

195
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,570
for the construction work
of Kahoku Civic Hall.

196
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,680
When your company name is called out,
please hand in your bid,

197
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,727
the plan and a letter of attorney
if you are not a representative.

198
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,964
If there is no response,
we'll take it that no tender is being made.

199
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,050
Shibahata Building Firm.

200
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,082
Present.

201
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,331
Thank you very much.

202
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,129
I'm returning the plan to you.

203
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,970
- Next, Hokuto Construction.
- Present.

204
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,166
They're going to go for it,
as I thought.

205
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,568
Did you say something?

206
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,245
We can't win.

207
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,569
Next, Tabe Construction.

208
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,446
Present.

209
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,171
- Next, lwaki Construction Work.
- Present.

210
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,002
There's no way we can win.

211
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,241
Why's that?

212
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,089
Next, Yamato Construction.

213
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:10,766
Hey, they're calling us.

214
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,441
P...present.

215
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,566
What a bunch of total idiots.

216
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,569
Hey, you're forgetting the plan
to return to them.

217
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,564
Why did you say we can't win?

218
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,770
- Hey, Yamato Construction.
- Go ahead! You'll find out soon.

219
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,529
Everyone's got other things to do.
Get a move on.

220
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,682
I'm sorry.

221
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,411
What are you doing?

222
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,886
Are you bidding or not?

223
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,171
I'm returning the plan.

224
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,764
Hey you,
what about a letter of attorney?

225
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,729
Oh, sorry.

226
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,725
Here's the letter.

227
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,605
That's why I don't like
having to deal with amateurs.

228
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,761
- Next, Hirose Group.
- Present.

229
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:12,649
Mr. lgo.

230
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,681
The root of my martial arts
is based on Tendo-style jujutsu.

231
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,004
The real beauty of the Tendo style lies in
its teaching of ways to counter-manoeuvre.

232
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,649
Styles which lack that subtlety are bound
to lead to the death of their practitioners.

233
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:32,447
That's it. We've confirmed
bidding of all in attendance.

234
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,168
I don't know what you're
talking about, old man!

235
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,368
Just spit it out
without putting on airs!

236
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,722
Putting on airs is the privilege
of knowledgeable people.

237
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,610
I'm Handa,
Chief of the Planning Department.

238
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,843
I'm going to announce
the bidding prices.

239
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,489
Tabe Construction: 341,506,800 yen.

240
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,688
What a figure!

241
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,640
Tabe Construction were serious then.

242
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,491
Are they taking on Hokuto Construction
and trying to win?

243
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,649
Please stop talking.

244
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:15,611
Hokuto Construction: 376,186,900 yen.

245
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,531
Iwaki Construction Work: 373,210,200 yen.

246
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,286
Miyagino Building Firm: 380,945,500 yen.

247
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,251
Hirose Group: 379,277,500 yen.

248
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:39,210
Shimabara Building Firm: 340,394,400 yen.

249
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,009
Shimabara Building Firm, too.

250
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,726
They're up for it.
They've put in a low bid.

251
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,361
Next, Shibahata.

252
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:48,689
What?!

253
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,043
Oh no.

254
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,964
I've mixed up the bidding order.

255
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,241
Yamato Construction is next.

256
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,131
This is the bid
from Yamato Construction...

257
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:13,001
...311...269...860 yen.

258
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,604
Lower than ours!

259
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,960
Isn't that lower than the floor price?

260
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,244
It's above the floor price.
The bid is valid.

261
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,962
This is it.
Yamato's won.

262
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,407
No one's going to do better than that.

263
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:32,848
Yeah.

264
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,368
They just sneaked that one in, knowing
they'd be suspended from bidding,

265
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,122
if their price came in
under the floor price.

266
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:40,601
Yes!

267
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,967
Our figure wasn't under the floor price.

268
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,003
Well done, Sub-Chief.

269
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,168
It was a good thing that we
raised the price by 2 million.

270
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,765
We're winning!

271
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,441
It's no good, Mr. lgo.

272
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,961
It hasn't made them
change their expression.

273
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,080
That means their price
must be lower than ours.

274
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,290
No way!

275
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,170
The final bid is
Shibahata Building Firm.

276
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,881
They don't have a hope in hell.

277
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,163
Yamato's figure must be just
above the floor price.

278
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,125
There must be only a few thousand yen
between their price and the floor price.

279
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,086
Hokuto Construction wouldn't have dared
to come up with a lower price than that,

280
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,047
even though they're in cahoots
with the public office.

281
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,001
Hokuto can't win.
Yamato will win.

282
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:39,566
Shibahata Building Firm: 311,2...

283
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,364
N...no.

284
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,603
No way!

285
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,601
...69...

286
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,525
...500 yen.

287
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,010
N...no.

288
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,083
No way!
That's not possible!

289
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,250
Yes!
We won!

290
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,691
Their bid is also over the floor price
and therefore valid.

291
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,970
The contract will be offered
to Shibahata Building Firm.

292
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,886
What a...360 yen.

293
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,010
The difference between theirs
and Yamato's price is 360 yen!

294
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,881
They wouldn't possibly have gone in that low
even if they knew the floor price beforehand.

295
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,205
Thank you very much.

296
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,171
We, Shibahata Building Firm,
will put everything we've got,

297
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,721
into completing the
construction work satisfactorily.

298
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,366
Mr. lgo.

299
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,089
We will now close the bidding for the
construction work at the Civic Hall.

300
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,128
The successful bidder should remain
to sign the contract.

301
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,921
The rest of you may leave immediately.

302
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,009
<i>Hokuto Construction's
stranglehold is amazing.</i>

303
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,965
<i>That's the most astonishing thing
I've seen in ages.</i>

304
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,846
Wait a minute!

305
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,804
W...what?
ls there a problem?

306
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,931
Mr. Handa.

307
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,884
Would you show us
all the bids you just read?

308
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,530
W...what are you implying?

309
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,165
It's all over.

310
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,808
Or are you trying to pick a fight
with public officers?

311
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:32,207
Why did you panic when you nearly
announced Shibahata's bid before ours?

312
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,208
Huh?

313
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,371
Why did you have to leave
Shibahata until last?

314
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,366
If there's nothing to hide,
show us all the papers you just read!

315
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,448
Check them, Kintaro!

316
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,487
OK!

317
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,045
You can't take over the proceedings!

318
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,969
You!
Where do you think you are?!

319
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,363
Hey, just leave!

320
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,404
We're not constrained to have
the bids audited by outsiders!

321
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,445
Yamato Construction!

322
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,163
We'll kick you off the public works listing in
Tohoku District, no, the whole of Japan!

323
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,364
Mr. Igo?

324
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,484
It's your hand.
Knock some sense into them!

325
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,846
Yaah!

326
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,290
What's this?

327
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,128
What's wrong?

328
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,362
That's Shibahata's bid, isn't it?

329
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,525
L...it's a blank paper.

330
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,005
Blank paper?!

331
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,090
There's no bid written down
on Shibahata's bidding paper!

332
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,564
- What's happening?
- Show me.

333
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,489
- Yes indeed!
Idiot!

334
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:58,365
All he had to do was make up a figure
lower than the lowest bid.

335
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,969
They could put in any bid
they wanted this way.

336
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,725
Very neat.

337
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,688
They were going to fill in the price
he read after everyone had left.

338
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,600
That's what it looks like.

339
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,401
Handa!
What have you been getting up to?

340
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,011
You've been working with Shibahata
to give them an unfair edge!

341
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,050
Are you trying to disgrace
the public office?

342
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,050
People will think we're all corrupt!

343
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,851
You can't get away with this sort of thing!
I'll see to it that you're dismissed in disgrace!

344
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,480
N...no.

345
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,404
You're despicable.

346
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,761
Don't bullshit!

347
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,929
You're one of the ringleaders,
aren't you?

348
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,531
How do you sleep at night
with this son of thing on your mind?

349
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,171
Time to stop, Kintaro.

350
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,491
These kind of people aren't
the kind to throw punches at.

351
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,166
They'd be out to get revenge
for the rest of their lives.

352
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,766
Let's go.

353
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,888
You'll have time to son
them out later, not now.

354
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,610
Yeah.
It's no good.

355
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,082
They can't get away with this.

356
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,163
We'll notify all the companies invited to bid
for the construction work at the Civic Hall.

357
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,130
Today's tendering process
has been declared void!

358
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,684
We'll have to open the bidding again.

359
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,043
We'll replace all the companies currently
involved and reopen the process.

360
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,170
Do you understand?

361
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,241
<i>After climbing up a long road,</i>

362
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,561
<i>The lights of the city flicker in the distance.</i>

363
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,727
<i>I realize why I look up at the sky,</i>

364
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:55,284
<i>And the dream t had that day
comes into my mind.</i>

365
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,440
<i>I've kept searching for what never changes,
And I've reached my goal at last.</i>

366
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:29,608
<i>It's you, in my arms,
That will change everything in heaven.</i>

367
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,400
<i>We'll start walking together,
Our long way journey to heaven.</i>

368
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,680
<i>As long as it's true that we're together again,
I don't need anything</i> else <i>in heaven.</i>
