Hello!

For you, Mr. Isoda

Thank you.

You have many enrollment options.

I will take advantage.

Hello!

Mr. Omi, decide quickly! I'm counting on you...

You haven't met your quota?

Now's the time to think of your children's future.

Isn't that right, Ms. Sasaki?

It's confidential, but ...

We will leave the insurance at "cancer risk".

At a very advantageous price.

You do not have good results.

It's the crisis everywhere.

You, however, you always sell just as much.

I am at a crucial moment.

This management position - you really want it?

Yes.

I will never match your all-consuming ambition.

I'm not about to change.

You don't smoke anymore?

Are you seeing someone at the moment?

What right do you have to question me?

Indeed.

Miyako!

In the BD building, over there,

there's the Contemporary Research company.

They've had a strong growth and are expanding.

Did you go for it?

Yes.

Former executives up for retirement

had to be let go.

It's worth a try.

Thank you for the information.

It is occupied!

It is occupied!

You're a bitch!

Do you think it's easy to get customers?

Hey, are you deaf?

Hayashi products is mine!

You wanted to steal my clients.

It's not legal.

What are you talking about ?

Don't walk away from me. I'm not done with you.

Don't act innocent!

You have approached Contemporary Research?

It's too late, old lady.

Those clients are mine.

Hold on!

What?

There's a run in your stockings.

Huh?

Here.

I am not returning these.

Thank you so much.

Hello! I am Korai, Okura Automobiles.

Take one of our brochures.

Sorry.

It's nothing.

Did you twist your ankle?

It's not that bad...

Miss Shiyoda! Bring me the first aid kit.

Excuse me.

Mr. Fujiwara.

Headquarters has asked that you call them back.

Very well.

You're the director?

Only on paper.

There are few people who are computer-savvy here.

You'd better remove it.

I'll give you some privacy.

I walked all day in heels.

Trying to be presentable.

Why?

I am an insurance salesman.

It must be hard.

The hardest part for me would be talking to strangers.

As a matter of fact, I'm struggling with it, too.

But I haven't found anywhere else.

Sorry.

I'm finished.

It should be fine.

Thank you so much.

Are you sure it's ok?

Let's tie it with this.

Thank you.

It was no problem.

Mr. Fujiwara...

Do you have life insurance?

That is what I sell.

Sadly, I'm on my wife's insurance.

Really? That's too bad.

So we won't be seeing each other again.

Pardon me, again.

Here I am.

Miss Yamanouchi!

That's easier with the F3 key.

F3?

Having to learn these things at my age, it's insane!

It will be an old habit, soon.

About our Representative positions,

are they thinking about letting people go?

There's no need to worry.

I hope you're right.

Sasaki! How were your sales this month?

So-so.

It's hard right now.

Hang in there, though, and the promotion is yours.

Don't push yourself so hard that you get burned out.

You're looking a little run down.

How are you doing in your personal life?

You should try to smile more.

"Sales goal not met: -500."

Miss Sasaki!

- Are you leaving?. - I was just about to go home.

Thank you for your handkerchief.

Oh, you didn't have to.

I have some time, If you want.

Let me get my bag.

This is a very unusual marriage contract. Look here.

Even if one of the spouses terminates the contract,

the other continues to benefit.

You're married, aren't you?

Yes.

What would you like to drink ?

I'll go.

How long have you been working for this agency?

Two years. But it's gotten hard.

I can't even imagine what it's like

having to talk with strangers all day.

And I'm sure your clients try to take advantage of the fact that you are a woman.

Looks like you know this job rather well.

Where I worked before,

the saleswomen who worked with us were not nearly so young

Mr. Fujiwara. You have a very pleasing scent.

It's not cologne.

No.

Do you have a delicate sense of smell?

Yes.

I cannot stand to be on crowded trains in the Summer.

- Do you want something to drink? - Yes.

- What am I going to get...? - Here's a menu

I'll take two of these.

Is something wrong?

No, no.

Thank you, for a pleasant evening.

And thank you for packing my handkerchief so nicely.

I forgot to include our brochure.

I'll talk to my wife about it.

She is older, and has a lot more experience with these things.

I can't make any decisions without her.

Our home. It's like the countryside in the middle of Tokyo.

"You should try to smile more..."

My coworker told me that.

A life without frustration does not exist.

It is true.

Good night.

The nearest station, please.

169.1 You've reached Miyako Sasaki. Leave a message after the tone. Thanks.

169.2 You've reached Miyako Sasaki. Leave a message after the tone. Thanks.

Hello?

170.1 Hello?

170.2 Hello?

What is that?

I don't know anything about it.

You should have taken my number out of your notebook.

Your wife may have seen it.

It's nothing to do with me.

So who can it be?

You know I don't sleep with my clients!

I know well.

Maybe it's just stress.

What are you talking about?

I read about it in a novel, once.

It was the story of an overworked man.

And he ends up seeing his double standing at a traffic intersection.

He starts having hallucinations. Maybe that's what's

happening to-

Sorry!

For retirement savings plans,

this type of contract is the most advantageous.

Here.

Thank you.

With this type of contract, you can withdraw current dividends.

Everyone is my household is already insured.

Take me up on at least one plan. It would really help me out.

Yeah...

This is the first time you've been reduced to pleading.

I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.

Just like the other vendors.

Take a seat.

Good.

It's true that you are younger and prettier than the others.

But...

You will never be able to maintain things at this rate.

Understand?

You need a therapeutic massage.

This paperwork is not so urgent

that it can't wait until the end of the month.

I will sign everything next week

Now relax, and have a little massage.

I need the contract signed before the 25th.

So that I can register it in my monthly quota.

There is no time to wait. Don't touch the stockings.

Here.

You shouldn't have.

Now we're even.

I didn't forget about

taking a shot at the Hayashi clients.

I don't care about that.

Hey...

What?

Aren't you fed up?

Me, I can't do it anymore.

Don't you try to sleep with clients?

I tried.

But it didn't work.

And you?

I hear you never sleep with clients.

Who told you that?

A colleague of yours

Yamanouchi, the old woman.

You know her?

She was the one managing your sector, before you.

I have the same sector as her.

I see.

You're wearing Versace, aren't you?

I thought so.

Don't men prefer a floral scent?

Earthy fragrances are not my style.

It doesn't make your work harder? I want your life.

And you don't sleep with them...

I know what your secret is.

you have special pheromones that encourage clients to sign.

Perhaps, detective.

Well, this is where I depart.

Hey - let's get a drink one of these days.

When we retire.

Hello.

I have an appointment with Mr. Fujiwara.

Thank you for another night out.

My wife already went to bed.

Oh, good.

It is often the case

that my wife is asleep before I get home.

It's not that we quarrel

But she has some nervous weaknesses.

And she is older than me.

You talk to me like I'm one of your guy friends.

You think?

That's not the kind of thing girls want to hear about.

Sorry.

You are younger than me, right?

I don't know what to do with you.

Sorry, I did not express myself well.

I'm not drunk.

You are mistaken about me.

I am not the man that you think I am.

What do you mean?

You think you drink with me to sell me insurance.

But I know full well that it is not just that.

What are you talking about?

I can not love others.

But I like to be loved by others.

Are you talking about your wife again?

No, I'm talking about you.

Stop.

I,

do not understand it myself,

but women are naturally attracted to me.

You are too, are you not?

No need to deny it.

You came here tonight,

And it's not for work.

I see it in your eyes.

No, that's not...

Do not deny the obvious.

If you really love me,

Just tell me.

Would you like that?

Yes.

Say you love me. Come on, say it.

I...

Don't you want to?

I am hot...

What do you want to do ?

Huh?

You can do whatever you want.

What I want to do...?

Take this off, if you want.

If you really love me,

you will do it, right?

Are you Mrs. Fujiwara?

Mrs. Fujiwara?

You want to speak?

Go ahead, talk!

"Fujiwara, wife, deceased in 1993."

"Traffic accident. 30 M paid to spouse."

Unbelievable!

Miss Sasaki...

You are not on track to meet your quota this month.

...No.

If you do not change your strategy,

you won't be able to count on that promotion.

My strategy?

Miss Sasaki...

You still have your youth.

Use it,

or you may regret it later.

"Caseworker: Abe Masao"

Miyako?

It was a terrible accident.

A woman was on a bike. She was crushed under a truck.

Fun work.

It suits me. I've never been good with people.

Back in our office, you were the top seller?

I was, but that came at a steep personal cost.

There was 30 million claim awarded to a certain Fujiwara

after the death of his wife... Do you remember?

Fujiwara...?

That sounds familiar.

And it was complicated by the death being outside of Japan?

Oh yeah... he received 30 million.

And the person in charge of the case had everything double-checked.

Was that person, perchance, Miss Yamanouchi?

Well...

I don't recall, for sure...

But, I don't think so.

That's strange, though.

It was in Miss Yamanouchi's sector...

Why?

Do you have doubts about this Fujiwara claim?

Let's just say that the details have become a bit muddy.

I do think that

it's a case you don't want to get involved with.

Eh... Sorry

It's none of my damn business.

Apologies.

It was nice to meet you.

"Client Name: Fujiwara Mitsuru"

"Insurance payment of 50 million following death of parents in America"

What do you know...

The office is there, in the same building as Contemporary Research.

Have you made an appointment?

Yes, indeed.

The director is so handsome.

That's Fujiwara, right?

I've got a crush on him.

How are you getting along in sales?

Little by little.

But times are tough.

Have you changed perfume?

That's Cabochard.

What a nose!

Yes that's it.

I wanted to try something more passionate - more 'animal.'

Do you think what will help you to attract clients?

This Fujiwara has the beauty of a god.

He must have pheromones that attract women.

What are you talking about ?

Did you notice that there are no men in his office?

A real harem.

- I don't see the attraction. - As if!

To be promoted to director so young,

he must have other talents.

Do you think?

His bestiality repels me.

Men are animals!

Miyako!

What?

Someone you know?

You see her too.

Do you see her?

"Death from a mysterious condition."

"Was the death of an executive's wife, while in Paraguay,"

"perhaps the result of some form of local parasite?"

A parasite...

"Your call cannot be completed as dialed"

Sir. The insurance representative is here.

Hello, sir.

I am Ioka, Aden Insurance.

I wanted to meet you because a friend told me

that you were interested in our products.

I've never met a director so young!

Women must love you.

You are already married, I am told?

Uh...

Please.

Let me go!

No!

Let me go!

Miss Yamanouchi!

There's no filing number on this.

It goes in the second drawer.

Miss Yamanouchi!

Can I speak with you?

What is it?

My sector. You worked it before me, is that so?

Yes.

But there are cases in the database that don't have your signature.

Well, of course.

Sometimes you transfer a client to a co-worker.

If you get sick, or go on vacation, for example.

I want to see the person who signed off on this case.

She was dismissed long ago.

Is she in the employment records?

Most likely, at that time, it would have been Miss Yoshino.

It's her?

I think so, yes.

Who would do this?

Excuse me.

Mr. Fujiwara!

Mr. Fujiwara, are you there?

Excuse me.

I am from the insurance company.

Hello?

Why don't you come?

I'm waiting for you.

Fujiwara!

Your friend came by.

Ioka Reiko. Did you know that?

Oh?

It seems like you're investigating me.

What are you talking about ?

If you're sniffing around for something, you can just ask me.

Excuse me. I'm tired.

I don't like the phone.

I want to smell you. To inhale your scent.

You want it, too, right?

You want to touch me.

You want me to touch you.

I'm not...

what you think.

You awaken the beast in me.

You are different.

You're not like the others.

I want you, right now.

Voicemail.

You have 1 message.

It's me, Abe.

I've been looking into your Fujiwara. It's very suspicious.

His company doesn't appear licensed

in the business registry.

But he is actually the director.

He managed to get these insurance policies, despite our expertise.

It's hard to comprehend.

Don't stick your nose into this until I understand more.

I'll call you later. Bye.

Hello?

Are you avoiding me?

Just love me,

and all your desires will be fulfilled.

How did you get in?

Love works in mysterious ways.

You're wrong. This isn't love.

Stop that!

Please.

This is wrong!

Stop!

Yes.

It's wrong.

It's you who must love me.

Why don't you run?

I don't know!

It's because you love me.

You love me, don't you?

Stop!

Let me go.

I hate you.

Oh?

What kind of beast are you ?

Just a man.

You're a liar!

If you do not think so,

it proves that you are not just a woman.

Are you unnatural?

We are the saleswomen from Korin.

Today, like every day,

we work with enthusiasm

to build a bright future.

To work!

Work well!

Bring back lots of contracts!

Reach your quotas!

Good luck!

Hello. I am Sasaki from the Shinagawa office.

Do you know where Mr. Abe works today?

Mr. Abe!

Mr. Abe?

No!

"Fujiwara's wife died in Paraguay in 1993.

"The autopsy revealed the presence of a parasite in the body."

A disease?

"3441-2980 - Yoshikawa"

Yoshikawa speaking.

Hello. Mr. Yoshikawa?

Yes.

Mr. Abe from Korin Insurance did he come by

to speak with you lately?

Korin Insurance?

I remember. Who is asking?

I need to speak with you urgently.

Where can I see you?

I'm at the Central Laboratory. Who are you?

A laboratory ?

You know, parasites

are not necessarily dangerous organisms.

They have no interest

in killing the one they depend on.

But that's when

the parasite finds a suitable host.

However, in very rare cases

a parasite is introduced into a human body

even though that is not a suitable host for it,

Then it has to migrate.

It's terrifying!

When Mr. Abe came to your house,

What did he talk to you about?

Well...

we discussion a special parasite from South America.

What kind?

I had a hard time finding a specimen.

It's very rare.

His host is an endangered simian,

Because of the destruction of tropical forests, this species has almost disappeared.

Look.

What did Mr. Abe want to know

about this parasite?

If I remember correctly,

it was about the influence this parasite had on its host.

The influence on the host?

In fact, the action of the parasite

is to stimulate certain hormones in its host.

It wants to ensure the continuity of its species.

Just as the host does.

So the parasite assists,

helping the host to mate with another.

How does it do this?

I do not know yet.

But my theory is,

that it secretes a special pheromone through the host body,

a special odorous substance,

which attracts a host of the opposite sex.

Pheromones?

It's very interesting.

The expression of pheromones is a little-studied area.

They work to attract a mate of the opposite sex,

and repel those of the same sex.

Generally, you understand?

It is wonderfully designed.

This parasite has thought of everything.

Does it also work...

with humans?

Of course not.

There have been no such cases.

How...

does a host contract this parasite?

We don't know, for sure.

One theory is that it is introduced orally,

mixing with the food that the host eats.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

Okay. Let's be frank.

You aren't getting the management position if you aren't willing to go along.

I will arrange to send you certain clients.

You will be bold, no?

We are being watched.

The camera.

Unless there's an alarm,

it's in sleep mode.

Kiss Me.

You want it?

Sorry. Inside me, I...

No!

What?

Hello.

That's enough!

Reiko!

You saw Fujiwara. I was sure of it.

I warned you.

What an idiot!

Why?

Why don't you come?

I'm waiting for you!

But you do not come.

Fujiwara!

You're different.

You're not like the others.

I want you, right now.

Fuck off!

Let me in!

You will not regret it.

Open the door.

Let me in.

I was waiting for you.

I almost died...

You are like air to me.

I know why now.

It's because we are the same.

Promise me,

you will not go anywhere.

Swear...

You are not perfumed today.

I prefer you without perfume.

Like that, I can feel you...

more easily inhale your smell.

You're hurting me!

Sorry.

Are you ok?

Your smell...

Kiss Me.

You talk too much!

You are not my type.

No!

No!

He can't die!

It's impossible!

Pull yourself together!

We're leaving.

Quick!

We're leaving.

It's okay now!

Reiko, quickly.

Miyako ...

What did I have?

You had a bad dream.

A dream?

It is true?

It was only a dream?

Yes.

It was only a dream.

It's finished.

You must forget it.

Reiko!

Open it!

Reiko!

Hello. I'm with Korai Okura Automobiles.

Hello?

Is the director here?
