Wow, you’re very beautiful.
It matches you well. - Thank you.
Oh no, I’m sorry, I forgot something important.
Please sit down.
You can’t begin without this.
How could I forget the necklace.
Ah, it’s just too beautiful now.
I want to wear such a beautiful wedding dress too...
Thank you for today.
Thank you. - Excuse me.
Well, I never thought aniki would get married.
I want to tell the aniki of half a year ago.
Hm? - What was it that you were saying? Marriage is….
Grave? - No that’s not it.
Marriage is being a slave. - Ah.
You kept talking about Rome’s slaves and royalty doing this and that.
Over here.
Excuse me. - Yuki-chan.
President. I truly want to congratulate you for today.
Thank you.
Haruno-kun.
Ah, congratulations for the wedding.
Thank you for the invitation.
I’m glad you came. - Um, where is Reiko-san?
She’s still getting ready. - Is that so?
Then, I will go on ahead to the chapel.
Okay. - Excuse me.
Well, about what we were just saying.
I may indeed have said something like being married is the same as being a slave. But,
it’s said that people change by meeting other people.
Right now I don’t think I’m becoming a slave at all, okay?
But I still think that, marriage is not something that should be done in a fever like state of love, but it should be a calm affair,
between a calm man and woman,
who reached this decision calmly.
Are you fine with this?
I’m already too late.
Big problem!
Reiko-san is nowhere to be found!
This was in the waiting room. - What’s going on?
Yuki-chan.
Is the ceremony about to start? The president seemed happy.
We have a little problem.
Everyone. I’m sorry for causing a disturbance.
Please let me stop the ceremony for today.
Right now we’re worried about Reiko-san.
I’m really sorry that something like this is happening.
Well, there’s no helping it.
The bride is necessary for the ceremony, and she’s not here.
Aniki. Do you have any idea where she might have gone?
Chairman. You have a call. - Excuse me.
Hello? Is that so?
I understand, I’ll be right there.
Reiko seems to have returned home.
I’m sorry that it turned out like this. - Not at all.
Rather than that, I wonder if Reiko-san is okay.
Well, even if we worry about her, there’s nothing we can do.
This is between aniki and Reiko-san.
Yuki-chan, I’m really sorry. - Oh, no, please don’t say that.
Then I’ll go home and work on the script.
It’s still in draft form, I need to complete it already.
I’m sorry for making you rush. Actually,
the actors want the script already. - I’m sorry for the delay.
I’ll contact you later. - Okay. Then, bye.
Yeah.
The end of love is, taking your leave. - Coco Chanel
Mamoru-kun.
I’m sorry, even though you came here.
My daughter cannot regain her composure. She says she doesn’t want to see anyone.
My selfish daughter did such a rude thing.
I’m sorry. - Chairman, don’t say that.
Please raise your head. There is no problem at all.
It’s all fine.
It’s about the day of your birthday.
This is the gift that the president threw into the trashcan at that time.
This is for Haruno-san, right?
Hello?
There really is such a thing as the bride running away, huh.
Yeah.
Since I have no such experience, I can’t say for sure, but,
is that what they call “marriage blues”?
Yeah, who knows? Well, unless we ask Reiko-san,
we won’t know any more than that.
But she came all the way to the wedding location, right?
Running away takes considerable energy too.
Yeah, you’re right.
You can never tell a person’s heart, huh?
Yeah.
In fact, many people are probably living while
hiding many things, right? Like how they really feel.
It might be comfortable if everyone lived according to their real feelings, but that wouldn’t work out either, right?
But living your whole life while hiding your true feelings,
that seems rather painful too.
It might be painful.
Don’t repeat that.
What are you trying to say? I’m fine now.
Ah.
Hello?
Eh? Reiko-san?!
Good morning.
I’m sorry for coming out of the blue. I was in the neighborhood.
Sorry, I was in the neighborhood.
I’m cleaning up. - Is it okay here?
I’m sorry, I made you clean up.
I was just in the neighborhood. - Excuse me.
Thank you. - I’m sorry, coming suddenly.
Thank you. Well, well.
Oh, it’s a dark roast. It’s delicious.
You can tell the difference, huh? - Yes.
By the way, isn’t the script for August’s Bolero nearly done yet?
Well, it’s almost completed. - Then, it’s okay if we
give it to printing, right? - Well, that would be a bit...
I will talk to the scriptwriter and contact you.
Yes. - Is that so.
Actually one of the actors wants to read the completed script as soon as possible.
You know, an actor has to memorize the lines and do all sorts of preparation.
That’s the case, right? - Right?
To tell you the truth. - Yes.
Something bad has happened.
I have to hand it over by the day after tomorrow.
I can’t explain the situation right now, but, well, some things happened.
If we don’t do well, the start of filming might be in danger too.
Eh? - Um, so you need it by the day after tomorrow?
Yes.
I’m sorry, I’ve kept you waiting. - Not at all.
I’ll have an Earl Grey. - Understood.
What about Yuki-san? - Then, I’ll have the same.
Understood.
I wanted to talk just the two of us once.
Yes. - Yuki-san,
where are you from? - Eh? Do you mean my hometown?
It’s Aomori. My mother runs a sun dried foods shop in a small fishing village.
Wow, sun dried? What kinds of things?
Like horse mackerel, and atka mackerel, and flatfish... - Oh my, it sounds delicious.
Yeah, it’s delicious.
Reiko-san. Are you okay?
That’s right, that day Yuki-san had come too.
I profoundly apologize for causing you to worry.
Ah, not at all.
I wanted to talk about Mamoru-san today.
That day, when I wore the wedding dress, and I was standing in front of the mirror, I suddenly became worried.
That Mamoru-san, who would become my husband in just a few more minutes,
has many sides to him that I still don’t know anything about.
That’s what I realized.
When I realized it, it was painful,
I couldn’t sit or stand still anymore,
and I ended up running away from that place.
Yuki-san. I heard that you
spent a long time with Mamoru-san, working on the script.
I don’t know anything about the Mamoru-san who is in the middle of working.
What kind of person is he? That’s what I wanted to find out,
and it’s my reason for asking you to come here.
Thank you for waiting.
His concentration when he’s reading a script is amazing.
He concentrates so hard that,
I think he forgets that there are other people around him.
For example, even if there was a fire and things around him started to burn,
I think he might not notice at all.
Ah, so please be careful with him, okay?
Yes. - And then...
Normally his demeanor is gentle and he’s quiet,
and he looks like a sensible person, but when it comes to a script,
suddenly he can begin yelling without minding his surroundings,
even if it’s midnight or the crack of dawn, if there is something that bothers him,
he’ll call people like it’s a normal thing.
Even if he’s stuck in bed with a cold, I think he would force himself to get up and start working.
The president doesn’t understand the concept of time.
Also, the president’s obsessions are strange.
If he decides that something will be some way, he will never change his mind.
Anyway, he won’t let it go.
Even if I think it’s a bit strange, if each and every word isn’t like he wants, he won’t be satisfied.
And then he will memorize every line,
even if I just change the order of the words a little bit,
he will point out that that part is wrong.
In other words, he’s incredible.
I don’t think he’s normal. In various ways.
How about Susumu-san? - The manager?
The manager is completely different.
He keeps things balanced, he won’t do things like the president.
Is that so.
I’m glad we could meet today. It was fun.
Yuki-san. - Yes?
I wish you well with Susumu-san.
Yes.
Kawagoe-san. It’s from the office,
they’re asking if they still can’t have the completed script for August’s Bolero.
Ah. - Kawagoe-san.
It’s from Snowdome Agency. - It’s Office Wallaby.
It’s from Diamond Honey Agency.
It’s too slow, if it keeps going like this,
the preparations can’t be completed in time. - I know, I know.
The author is working desperately. She’s working hard to make
something even better. It’s not like she’s slacking off.
Everyone. Please tell them that we’ll have it sent over by the day after tomorrow.
Yes.
Chairman. What? Hayama?
I understand. Of course, we will be there.
Good work. - Ah, good work.
How is it? Can you write?
Don’t shut off by yourself,
if there is anything I can help with, you should ask without holding back.
Ah, I'm so sorry.
No well, for the contents of the script,
there is nothing that I can do to contribute.
But if you want to eat something warm, or if there’s any fruit you want,
if it’s that sort of thing, don’t hesitate to tell me.
I’m sorry. Thank you.
But, even though I’m really sorry about it,
we really need to have the final script by the morning of the day ater tomorrow.
That’s the deadline. It’s the final closing date.
If we won’t make it in time for this, even though I’m really sorry,
the final draft manuscript will have to go into printing.
I understand. I will do my best.
Then, I’m going back to the company.
Good luck.
I’m home. - Welcome back.
Huh? The room is back to normal.
An employee came to take all of Reiko-san’s stuff.
I see. Huh? Aniki, did you make this?
Yeah. Cooking is nice, huh? It’s a nice change of pace.
It looks delicious. - I think it’s good.
It’s indeed completely different from Reiko-san’s.
Aniki, you actually like this the most, right?
Aniki. Isn’t it fine already even if you don’t get married?
If it’s like this,
Aunt Akiko will allow it too.
I can’t do that. - Why?
You’re trying to fulfill your responsibility just because you proposed once?
That’s too stupid. - Then let me ask you,
why did you get married?
Well, at that time, I fell in love with someone,
I thought there was no one in the world but her.
Well, much later, I realized that was a big mistake, though.
Right? So, if you fell in love with an absolutely completely perfect woman without any hint of negativity,
and then you got married as a result, before long, you’ll realize you were mistaken, right?
Well, in my case, yes.
So rather than marrying because you fell in love,
isn’t it also fine if the reason for marrying is different?
Making calm judgments and thinking about every possible circumstance,
marrying someone like that,
just what exactly is such a sin about it?
People immediately reject it, saying that it’s not romantic,
but it’s not irresponsible.
I see.
It’s just after here.
Then can you stop at that parking lot?
There’s still some way to go.
I’m in the mood to walk a little.
Excuse me, here.
Here. - Thank you.
Then. - Yes.
Go ahead.
I’m truly sorry.
I feel that I have committed an inexcusable act of selfishness.
Please don’t worry about it. I don’t think anything of it.
Let’s just organize it from the beginning. If it is agreeable,
next year, let’s have the ceremony at Lake Como in Italy,
just like how Reiko-san wanted to have it from the beginning.
My lady.
I met with Haruno Yuki-san yesterday.
Eh? Why?
I wanted to know more about the Mamoru-san that is in the middle of working.
It was very interesting.
I was told that the concentration ability of Mamoru-san
while he is reading a script is so great that I should
look out for him in the case of a fire.
What on earth is that?
She was worried that you wouldn’t even notice the fire because you were too concentrated.
It’s not her business.
Normally your demeanor is gentle and you’re quiet,
and you look like a sensible person, but when it comes to a script,
you can apparently even raise your voice.
Someone who is working, can be more or less like that.
Also, even if it’s midnight or the crack of dawn,
if there is something that bothers him, you’ll call people like it’s a normal thing.
Even if you’re stuck in bed with a cold, you would force yourself to get up and start working.
Your obsession with lines is unnatural,
apparently you just won’t let it go.
Memorizing all of the lines, to the point that if Yuki-san
even changes the order of the words,
Mamoru-san would point out the part that was wrong.
That you’re incredible. That you’re not normal.
Many things….
I heard from Aunt Akiko-sama.
That there is a necklace that the wives of the first sons in the Hoshino family have held for generations.
Could you not give that to me?
I want to receive it from Mamoru-san.
The next person to hold it will be your wife.
Ah, president. - Take it.
Eh? What is it? - Just take it.
Yes, I will.
I’m sorry for asking for a selfish thing. - Not at all.
Thanks for waiting. - Ah.
Please return to Tokyo. - Yes.
We’re leaving.
I wish you well with Susumu-san.
Kawagoe-san. What time should we have the meeting tomorrow?
Kawagoe-san. When should we contact Take-san
from the lighting department? - Kawagoe-san, the printing has been confirmed.
Hello?
Good work. Haruno-san?
She should be working on the final script from home today.
Saying tomorrow, tomorrow,
how long do you think we’re going to keep waiting?
Our actors have plenty of preparation to do too.
Lines aren’t something that the moment you hand them over they can say
“Oh okay then” and instantly memorize everything. - I’m very sorry.
Please get a hold of yourselves.
We’ll be thinking about pulling our actors from the project.
Oh, no, that would be - - It’s your responsibility, right?
Please wait.
It will definitely be a script that was worth waiting for.
You will definitely regret if you pull away your actors now.
Is that okay?
I see. If you’re saying that much
we will be looking forward to getting it tomorrow. - I understand.
I’m counting on you.
Ogata-san, thank you.
Ah, it’s okay.
I wasn’t really doing it for you or anything.
Hello? Hello? Ah, it’s to the left of the market. Yes.
She's totally faking.
Haruno. What happened?
I came to get the documents about the location.
Ah, Hosoi. Pictures of the locations.
Ah, here.
Umm. I’m really sorry or causing so much trouble.
Don't worry about it, we can take care of everything.
Work hard to write a script you’re satisfied with.
I don’t want to begin shooting with a script that Haruno is not satisfied with.
Thank you.
I’m counting on you. - Yes.
Hello. - Hello? Yuki-chan?
Come quickly. - I’m in the middle of writing now.
I’m sorry, there’s not enough time.
Today’s not possible. - No, this is a business order.
Come out quickly. - Yes?
Tokyo Tower? - From the Tokyo Tower scene,
it connects to the fated reunion scene, right?
I thought you might notice something if you go up the tower.
Let’s go.
It’s beautiful. - Yeah.
We saw it that night too, right? The night scenery. - That night?
Yuki-chan’s birthday.
We watched the sunset from the helicopter, and then the night scenery from the rootop.
Ah, Rainbow Bridge.
The manager doesn’t know everything about me, right?
I don’t know everything about the manager either.
What happened, all of a sudden?
Someone told me this.
You become worried when your partner has a side to them that you don’t know about.
Does the manager feel worried?
Worried? Hmm.
That’s something that can’t be helped. You’re another person, after all.
There’s no way you can know everything.
Even if you’re a parent or a sibling,
there’s no way you can know everything.
That’s why, always listening to the other person’s feelings,
and sympathizing with them is important, right?
Thank you.
Just like the manager said, I was overwhelmed by being constantly in the room.
I’m glad I could be of some help.
The manager is so kind.
What’s wrong?
I’m sorry. - Why are you apologizing?
I’m really sorry.
That the final script is so late...
Wanna watch a movie? - What’s this? Do you know it?
I heard it’s a movie about the past.
There’s no way this movie is interesting.
Really? Do you wanna leave? - Yeah, let’s go. What do you wanna eat?
<Ajisai Last day>
Thank you.
President. - Haruno Yuki.
You came? - Today’s the last day after all.
Umm.
My birthday. The president was at the party too, right?
You should have said something.
No, I had just suddenly remembered some important business. I’m sorry.
Excuse me. Please continue your date outside.
Date? - Date?
We’re closing.
Ah. How did you get this?
This is the Empire State Building that was in Sleepless in Seattle, right?
The main character Annie, played by Meg Ryan, had a fiancé. One day, Annie,
heard Sam talking about his late wife on the radio.
"I knew it the very first time I touched her.
It was like coming home, only to no home I'd ever known.
I was just taking her hand to help her out of a cab.
And it was like magic."
Oh.
After hearing that story,
Annie feels that Sam is definitely the person she is destined to be with.
Without even having seen his face. - That’s right. Just by hearing his voice.
Wasn’t it good that it turned out to be Tom Hanks?
In the end Annie leaves her fiancé,
and has her happy ending meeting Sam on the roof of the Empire State Building.
It was that type of story, right? - That’s right.
If the president was Sam...
Would it be a happy ending with Annie?
I can’t consent to such a story. The poor abandoned man.
Walter. - Yes, Walter.
Annie’s fiancé Walter doesn’t do anything wrong. Even though he has no sins,
Annie says she found her fated partner and for such an absurd reason he gets dumped out of nowhere.
What do you think about this kind of misery?
In reality that kind of irrational selfishness would never be forgiven.
If I was the fated person Sam, I would be worried about Walter,
I would never do such a thoughtless thing such as going up on the roof of the Empire State Building with Annie.
I would never do it.
That’s right.
It is.
Then, I have to get back to fixing the script, so,
I’ll be leaving first.
Tomorrow morning is the deadline.
Bye.
I’m really sorry.
I’m home.
You’re late. - I was watching a movie.
I see.
When you see Haruno Yuki,
can you tell her to return the necklace?
Necklace?
I was planning on giving it to Reiko-san, she was in charge of taking care of it from quite a while back.
So she still has it.
Why don’t you tell her yourself?
If I see Haruno Yuki's face - No,
she’s under so much pressure from finishing up with the script,
I don’t want to bother her with trivial things.
You would know the best way to bring it up.
I’m counting on you.
Are you done?
Yeah, I’m done.
Cool.
Are you going for sure?
Yeah.
I see.
Take care. Call me if something happens.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Ah, manager. This.
Aniki.
Did you read it? - Yeah.
Kawagoe-kun, it’s the final script. - Yes.
Quickly send it to printing. - Yes.
Call Haruno. - Yes.
Everyone check the script for the final time. - Yes.
Eh? What do you mean it won’t make it in time for printing today? - That won’t do. We have to make it no matter what.
This is the best script I’ve ever read.
August’s Bolero will start filming with this script. - Yes.
Please, it has to be today.
Kawagoe-san. I can’t reach Haruno-san’s cell phone.
Where did she go? Ah, how about her house?
I called her home too but she’s not there.
What on earth is she… What happened?
Isn’t she coming after now? - No.
I don’t think she’s coming back anymore.
Last week is the final episode!
Mamoru and Susumu fight over who should go find Yuki.
Neither particularly looks like they're up for it.
I think they should just leave her alone.
Besides she actually secretly has Yamapi.
She doesn't need any stupid brother drama.
But in the end, looks like the person who found Yuki is Saori.
So basically everyone's at square one.
Mamoru declares he doesn't need anyone.
Yuki is running away from commitment.
Susumu is left with a huge bothersome tangle of relationships.
