Original subtitles

Council Seike Ichiro, who became Minister of Health, Labor, and Welfare at 43,

I swore to do everything in my power to make Seike become the Prime Minister.

Why didn't Seike write about Suzuki Toshiya in his book?

Suzuki's aim in becoming Seike's secretary is to manipulate Seike behind the scenes...

If Seike can absorb other's opinions like cotton instead of having a strong will,

and if he has a special talent to play the role of an ideal person perfectly...

The Big Gulliver Share Incident?

Actually, I have something I've been investigating right now, and...

Are the current Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs were also involved in the incident?

Dad?

You were supposed to meet my father that day, right?

There're many other things written in my father's notebook.

Kanae, please come home ASAP.

Please excuse us.

Hey, the only thing that was stolen was his notebooks, right?

What had he been investigating?

Kanae, answer me.

The Big Gulliver Share Incident.

It seems Dad was investigating that incident again.

This has nothing to do with his accident, right?

You're thinking too much.

Are you investigating the same thing?

Hey, do you understand why Yu left Rocky with you?

Because the condo they live in doesn't allow pets, right?

Please take good care of Rocky.

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

Rocky, I'll come again soon.

That too, but he thought you may have felt lonely.

You're similar to your father.

You can't see what's going on around you once you're immersed in work, and you end up causing them trouble.

You'll never be able to live with it if this kind of thing keeps happening.

I'm aware.

So, how do you tell Yu about Rocky?

I'll search for it. I don't want to make Yu sad.

Would you like to eat Udon noodles?

You're hungry, right?

Thank you.

Kashiwagi, please! You who have evidence are the only ones who can testify.

A year ago Kashiwagi, please! You who have evidence are the only ones who can testify.

Are you really okay to leave it like this?

Kashiwagi! Please leave.

Well done.

This is the biggest scoop of the year.

Thanks to Secretary Kashiwagi for telling me this.

Muneo, say something.

Kashiwagi?

It's your fault.

The secretary who accused the corruption attempted suicide

This is Kashiwagi. I'll trust you and tell you the truth. The secretary who accused the corruption attempted suicide

This is Kashiwagi. I'll trust you and tell you the truth.

His wife confessed

My husband developed neurosis from too aggressive interview

Your mother is Kanae, right?

Let's go. I'm a YouTuber,

Michiue, how do you take responsibility for Kashiwagi's attempted suicide?

Michiue, what the hell have you done? It wouldn't set a good example for your son.

I'll kill your son Quit your job now

I'll take care of Yuki. I'll kill your son Quit your job now

It'll be too late if something happens to Yuki.

I want to divorce you.

Yuki,

Rocky, where are you?

I'm looking for a parrot

Thank you for your hard work.

Somebody stole notebooks about the Big Gulliver share Incident. That's probably a warning not to investigate further.

This was the only remaining.

It seems that Suzuki wanted to hide the involvement of Prime Minister Habu and Minister Morohashi for Seike to move up the career ladder.

I wonder if Suzuki was responsible for your father's accident.

Have you contacted the police?

I also informed the police about the connection between Suzuki and my father's accident.

However, I don't expect the police to do something only with my info.

If Suzuki made Seike write this thesis, Suzuki's ideology is quite dangerous.

What is he going to do by manipulating Seike?

Michiue, this is the kind of high-risk topic that we shouldn't touch.

You can leave this to me if you want.

Journalist is meant to touch things that shouldn't be touched.

I've obtained permission for the interview directly from Seike.

I can get closer to Suzuki than anybody else.

There may be something behind the scenes.

Come in.

I heard you gave her permission for the interview.

Ah, yes.

I wish you'd asked me first.

Sorry, but I thought she was a nice journalist.

Chapter 4, 27 years old

I met Takechi Kazuhiro, who was said to be the next Chief Cabinet Secretary at "Shunkichi ", a Japanese restaurant Sasaki's family owns.

Minister Takechi, he is Seike.

Nice to meet you, I'm Seike Ichiro.

Ah, you're Seike.

Council Takechi also graduated from Fukuchi High School.

Based on that connection, I met him many times since then.

And I learned a lot of things from him.

The commemoration of the 17th anniversary of Takechi Kazuhiro's passing

Takechi, he is Seike.

Matsuyama city, Ehime Year 2000, his 3rd-year university student. Takechi, he is Seike.

Nice to meet you. I'm Seike Ichiro. Matsuyama city, Ehime Year 2000, his 3rd-year university student.

Matsuyama city, Ehime Year 2000, his 3rd-year university student.

I've been hearing about you from Suzuki.

Council Takechi, thank you for the other day.

Yes. You have an excellent friend.

After graduating from university, I worked as Council Takechi's private secretary.

But when I was 27 years old, he died suddenly in a car accident.

It was when he went back to his hometown.

The sudden farewell to my respected council, Takechi...

I couldn't accept reality for a while.

In a car accident...

Council Takechi Kazuhiro died in a car accident Distracted driving

It seems the cause of the accident was that the truck driver fell asleep due to overwork.

Same as my father...Was the accident rigged?

Seike could become a politician at 27 by running with the Council Takechi's constituency that Seike inherited when Takechi suddenly died.

Could it be...

Did Suzuki set up Takechi's accident to let Seike become a representative?

But what was the reason for Suzuki to hurry to let Seike become a politician even to the extent of killing his mentor?

I'll continue to approach it with a sense of tension.

Thank you.

Hey, is she Michiue from the Toto Shimbun?

Why is she here? She is supposed to be banned from Nagata-cho, right?

Michiue,

Let me introduce you. She is Michiue from the Toto Shimbun.

Hello.

What's going on?

A journalist from the Toto Shimbun is already here.

I allowed her to interview freely.

Laughing Matryoshka (Warau Matryoshka)

I sincerely ask for your cooperation.

The limited filming time is over.

All journalists, please leave the room now.

Lay the groundwork for Prime Minister Habu immediately after the limited filming time

Everybody, please wait.

You can continue covering the story today.

Please report us to let the public know more about us.

We must explore ways to reassure the public so that they feel more secure about Japan's future.

I promise to do politics by listening to and scooping up the voices of the public.

Matsuyama city, Ehime Year 1996, his 2nd year high school student I promise to do politics by listening to and scooping up the voices of the public.

I promise you! Do you understand? Council Takechi's this pose,

Okay. This gesture draws the audience's attention.

Now that the line between success and failure in the university exams isn't so clear...

It's like your hand moved involuntarily

Now that the line between success and failure in the university exams isn't so clear,

I think it's time to create the campus network.

You look down and pause for 5 seconds.

It's like it slipped out of your mouth.

If I become the student council president,

You look up as if returning to reality, and say powerfully!

I'll continue to think about what I can do for all of you and our future.

It's as clear as day that it's very difficult to do since all of us are unique students.

Because there's a difference of opinion, let's have a great discussion.

Please allow me to spend the next year building the foundation that you can be proud of being a graduate of Fukuin High School.

But I have no intention of trying to gauge your mood.

Take by surprise But I have no intention of trying to gauge your mood.

Take by surprise

Let's talk this out. Take by surprise

Let's talk this out.

Erik Jan Hanussen,

He was a key figure who was believed to have manipulated Hitler behind the scenes one time.

I believe Hanussen for him is Suzuki Toshiya.

Excuse me, here. Do you mean from now on, you coordinate young politicians and convey the Habu administration's intentions aggressively?

Minister, give us a brief comment at the end!

I'm Sakamoto, a secretary of Seike Ichiro

Upon Seike's request, I'll inform only you of his schedule for today 3 pm to 3:20 pm Haruyoshi Akasaka branch

Are you Michiue?

You must be Sasaki, a chairman of Seike's supporting group.

Yes. Please come in.

Seike.

Please.

I come here occasionally for lunch since it's close to the Diet Building.

The stuffed meal here is delicious.

Please relax.

Well, why did you ask me to come here?

Michiue, you seem to be disliked so much.

I was scolded by a lot of people because I allowed you to interview me freely.

The secretary of the council who exposed the corruption attempted suicide, right?

The council who committed the corruption should have been blamed. That was...

Revealing the truth can sometimes hurt someone.

Of course, you yourself may be hurt too.

But some people are saved beyond that.

Michiue, you believe that and fight for everything, right?

That's the meaning of the words you said the other day, right?

I want to believe in the power of journalism.

I appreciate you interviewed me.

I really wanted to say thank you.

Did you find out something?

Yes. It seems Seike allowed the journalist to interview him.

Her name is Michiue Kanae, a journalist of the Toto Shimbun.

Ah, it's Mom!

What's going on? I told you to see you on Sunday.

Yuki, I'm sorry. I lost Rocky.

What happened?

Wasn't it because you prioritized your work and neglected to take care of Rocky?

That's not true.

But it was my fault.

Yuki, I'll look for and definitely find him.

You haven't changed at all.

Matsuyama-city, Ehime

Aoyama, good morning.

If the director asked about me, please blag him, something like I'm in Nagata-cho to cover the story.

What? What's going on?

Thank you.

Council Takechi Kazuhiro died in a car accident Distracted driving

Thank you for your hard work.

If you were going to Matsuyama, you should've just told me so.

Have you found out anything about Takechi's accident?

I spoke with detectives and journalists who were involved in the accident.

According to the article, the suspect looked aside while driving, and he hit Council Takechi.

And?

The suspect was an unemployed man and immediately admitted his guilt and paid a large amount of compensation.

The suspect in my father's accident is also an unemployed man and seeking a settlement.

Did you see the suspect in Takechi's accident?

He died from an illness several years ago.

However, I found out that not only Seike but also Suzuki was working as Council Takechi's private secretary at the time of the accident.

So, he is the prime suspect.

Suzuki is totally guilty. Don't the police do something?

I don't think we can do that because it's just speculation.

Damn it...So, what should we do?

I'll collect evidence thoroughly.

Seike may know something.

But you can't say for sure that Seike isn't an accomplice.

I allowed her to interview freely.

Please continue to keep an eye on me.

He is fine...I think.

What's your basis?

You said that that thesis may have been an SOS from Seike.

Do you still think so?

I don't know. But I feel like he has something he wants to tell me.

Yes. Anyways, be careful.

Okay, thank you for your hard work. See you tomorrow.

Seike Office

Is it possible for us to meet again?

Ah, let me help you.

No, thank you. It's too dangerous.

I'm also a journalist who aims to work for the Social Affairs Department.

Please let me help you.

Are you sending a mail to Suzuki?

Seike Office, Secretary Suzuki Are you sending a mail to Suzuki?

Are you sending a mail to Suzuki?

I'd like to ask you about Council Takechi's accident

Is it okay to ask about that? I'd like to ask you about Council Takechi's accident

I'd like to ask you about Council Takechi's accident

If Suzuki finds out I'm sniffing around this accident, he may reveal his true identity.

Then, please help me to monitor Suzuki whenever you have time.

Yes. If he behaves suspiciously, take pictures.

Got it. But don't push yourself too much, okay?

It's Michiue from the Toto Shimbun

Thank you for taking the time for me despite your busy schedule.

You're welcome. So, what do you want to talk about?

My father who was investigating the Big Gulliver Share Incident died in a car accident the other day.

He died at the place where he was supposed to meet Secretary Suzuki.

Council Takechi also died in a car accident.

And you could become a politician at 27 by running with the late council Takechi's constituency that Seike inherited.

It's not written in your book, but it seems Suzuki was working as Council Takechi's private secretary with you.

In both accidents, the drivers immediately admitted their faults and sought a settlement with substantial compensation.

However, they're both unemployed men.

What's your point?

People have died in 2 similar car accidents that happened around Secretary Suzuki.

I don't think it's a coincidence.

There was a burglary at my house the other day.

Only the investigating materials related to the Big Gulliver Share Incident were stolen.

Those materials were what made me know that Suzuki was the son of Uno Kosuke.

Seike, he is a dangerous man.

Please tell me everything you know about Suzuki.

Please give me a hand.

You want to break off your relationship with him, don't you?

The dual structure of power in Nazism Analysis regarding Erik Jan Hanussen

University of Waseno, Department of Political Economy 1831816, Seike Ichiro

You sent me this, right?

Excuse me.

Hello?

What?

Are you all right?

Suzuki, are you all right?

Minister!

How's Suzuki?

The doctor is giving him emergency treatment.

It seems a car crashed into the sidewalk and hit Suzuki who was on the way to the meeting.

It seems there're more people injured.

Aoyama...

The number you have dialed is outside the service area...

Suzuki!

Michiue! This way!

Fortunately, his life isn't in danger.

However, since he's injured a part of his lumbar vertebrae, it'll take some time to recover completely.

I see.

I'm sorry for causing you trouble at such an important time.

I'm glad that you're safe.

I never want to lose someone important to me again.

Minister,

Michiue,

I'm fine.

He is going to take a detailed exam, and if there're no issues, he can go home tonight.

I've made a good excuse about this issue to the boss, so don't worry.

I'm sorry> It's my fault.

What? I'm fine.

In the first place, I asked you to let me help you forcibly.

I'm sorry.

Muneo, say something.

Kashiwagi?

It's your fault.

It seems the cause of the accident was that the driver fell asleep.

If Suzuki was targeted, who is the suspect?

We may be misjudging something.

We were arrogant and thought to reveal the truth, and as a result, we made people around us misfortune.

What the hell am I doing?

Don't blame yourself too much.

I'm going to the police station and gather more info.

I'm looking for a parrot His name is Rocky He is very friendly

Yuki...

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Did Yuki come here?

Yes. Yes. So, you told him about Rocky, right?

Yuki seems to be searching for Rocky very hard.

He tapes posters all around.

Yuki said he was glad you were honest with him.

He said he was sad but tried searching for Rocky hard like you.

Revealing the truth can sometimes hurt someone.

But some people are saved beyond that.

Michiue, you believe that and fight for everything, right?

And this.

Yuki thinks you're depressed.

Does a son worry about his mother? What the hell?

Good morning.

Aoyama! Are you all right?

I told you it wasn't a serious injury.

Ah, I told the director that I happened to be there by chance.

I'm sorry.

By the way, why are you checking his thesis again?

When I am lost, I go back to the starting point.

University of Waseno, Department of Political Economy Nishizima Seminar Professor Nishizima Kimihiro

I'm thinking of meeting the professor who supervised Seike's thesis. University of Waseno, Department of Political Economy Nishizima Seminar Professor Nishizima Kimihiro

I'm thinking of meeting the professor who supervised Seike's thesis.

I think this thesis was written by Seike himself.

The writing style between this thesis and his book is completely different.

It's not good if it's different, right?

The writing style of this book is somewhat artificial.

It's like a careful-thought-out writing.

I think Suzuki revised the manuscript.

You may be right.

On the other hand, the writing style of this thesis is very sincere, honest, and passionate.

Anyway, it's definitely this thesis if I have to choose the writing that Seike himself must have written.

Chapter 3, University days

Didn't you think anything when you read the part about Seike's university girlfriend, Mieko?

Ah, yes, I somehow felt that part of the story was tacked on.

Compared to the other writing, that part seemed more straightforward.

That's the Literary Section of The Toto Shimbun!

Indeed, the writing style is different only here.

The writing style here is very natural and similar to the thesis.

No doubt about it, Seike himself wrote the part about Mieko.

Does that mean he had special feelings for Mieko?

Chapter 3, University days

I met Mieko when I was a 3rd-year university student.

Excuse me, do you have Kleenex?

Use this.

Ah...I'm sorry.

Mieko is the same age as me and attending Hoin University.

She said she was from Kagawa and moved to Tokyo to become a screenwriter.

Every time I meet lines that I can't come up with, I realize I lack talent.

You're still a university student, so I don't think you need to be so hard on yourself.

But we're already 21 years old.

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Basquiat...They all died at age 27.

I wonder if they were taking it easy at the age of 21.

I think they were desperate to leave behind proof that they were there.

We may also have only 6 more years to live.

6 more years...

Seike, what do you intend to become in the future?

She didn't ask "What do you WANT", she asked, "What do you INTEND". It hit me.

So, I revealed to Mieko everything.

I'm aiming to become a politician.

About my dream to become a politician, my friends I met in high school, and my father...

Since moving to Tokyo, it was the first time I had told my life story to someone.

It's been over 20 years since he was my student.

So, what do you want to know about Seike?

Do you remember this thesis?

This thesis was submitted to you by Seike who was in your seminar at that time.

University of Waseno, Department of Political Economy 1831816, Seike Ichiro This thesis was submitted to you by Seike who was in your seminar at that time.

University of Waseno, Department of Political Economy 1831816, Seike Ichiro

Yes, I remember this.

The dual structure of power in Nazism and Analysis regarding Erik Jan Hanussen who is considered to have been Hitler's brain.

Why do you think he chose such a theme?

I don't know.

Is it possible that his friend influenced him?

Possibly.

Seike had a friend who was attending Tokyo University at that time.

Was that friend Suzuki Toshiya?

That sounds right.

Ah, I thought this was the graduation thesis, but it's actually the assignment that I asked students to write when he was a 3rd-year university student.

I now remember that I cautioned him since he was too supportive of Hitler.

I wonder if Seike was admiring Hitler at that time.

I don't think it was that exaggerated.

Seike wrote the graduation thesis on the same theme when he was a 4th-year student.

Ah, I now remembered.

He affirmed Hanussen in the thesis that he wrote when he was a 3rd-year student.

However, he reversed his opinion and criticized Hanussen in the graduation thesis.

Criticized Hanussen?

Gradually, Hanussen's presence becomes unnecessary

Hanussen for Seike...

In other words, did Seike criticize Suzuki?

Why?

Something may have happened between writing these 2 thesis.

Between a 3rd year and a 4th year...

I met Mieko when I was a 3rd-year university student.

Do you know anything about Seike's girlfriend at that time?

Yes, I remember.

Seike seemed to be under her thumb.

I don't think she was attending my university.

Do you remember her name?

She is named Mieko in his book.

I don't know that far.

But she was a smart girl and knowledgeable.

She may have been the cause of change in Seike's opinion.

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Basquiat...They all died at age 27.

We may also have only 6 more years to live.

Since that day, I've become conscious of the age of 27.

It wasn't a coincidence that I ran for the election for the first time and became a politician when I was 27 years old.

Particularly about 27 years old.

Is this why Seike rushed to become a politician?

Ex girlfriend Mieko influenced him

Seike could become a politician at 27 Ex girlfriend Mieko influenced him

Seike could become a politician at 27

because he won an election by running with Council Takechi's constituency that Seike inherited.

Did Mieko kill Takechi?

Accident Falling a sleep while driving

Suzuki, isn't it you who is manipulating Seike?

Want to break off your relationship? Manipulate, Seike's Hanussen?

Hanussen tried to become a minister and manipulate the country.

But he and his wife were assassinated by Hitler who felt uneasy about Hanussen's recent actions when they were 43 years old.

43 years old?

Suzuki Toshiya Born on July 4, 1979, 43 years old

43 years old!

He was assassinated when he was 43

You've got to be kidding.

Obsession with age

Mieko tried to kill Suzuki...?

Next Wednesday at 1 pm in the House of Representatives...

Nice to meet you, Mr. Hanussen.

She is my girlfriend.

Where did you meet her?

We knew each other through the seeking a boyfriend-girlfriend page on a magazine.

Listen,

Father Reinvestigate the Big Gulliver Share Incident Die in an accident (Fall asleep while driving)

Did Mieko kill my father too? Father Reinvestigate the Big Gulliver Share Incident Die in an accident (Fall asleep while driving)

Did Mieko kill my father too?

Hey, Michiue, wait!

What do you want?

I was worried about you.

If you were back to work, you should've let me know.

Ah, sorry.

I thought even you'd be discouraged this time. But I'm glad you're fine.

Thank you.

So, did you find something out?

There's somebody else other than Suzuki behind Seike.

That person possibly killed my father.

There's no way I'm going to let this go. And...

You want to break off your relationship with him, don't you?

You sent me this, right?

I want to know about the real Seike Ichiro.

I have to go.

Where are you going?

I'm going to look for Mieko, an ex-girlfriend of Seike.

First, I'll ask Seike about her.

Hello?

This is Sakamoto, Seike's secretary.

Hello.

I'm sorry, but Seike has decided not to accept your interviews anymore.

What? What do you mean? I got permission for the interview directly from Seike...

This is Seike's own decision. Please understand.

Why...
