I've...I've betrayed you.
With my heart and body...
WHO is he?
I'm sure Rei-san ran away from me AND Dad.
Won't you please come home? I'm begging you.
I don't care about the other guy, I'll forget.
Rei-chan... Please come home with me!
Rei-chan...
Rei-san, it's Hitoshi.
Rei-san.
Hitoshi huh?
Rei-san.
Dad's eyes are really red...
I guess he was crying?
Come in here.
Thank you.
I'm even more surprised than when
I got the announcement about your mother dying in France.
I'm surprised too.
That you... That you're even here at the moment.
Do you really look at me as your father?
Were you guys meeting here for the last month?
No.
This is the first time I've come here.
So that means you'll come back?
We were just discussing that together.
Right, Rei-chan?
Really? Is that true?
No, no it's not.
Anyway let's go home.
Like I just said before you can continue working too.
I don't believe that.
Shut it!
I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to her.
You disgust me! - Stop it!
This is...This is all my fault.
I was the one who seduced Hitoshi.
And it's not because I liked him either.
I just wanted to be saved by somebody.
But I ended up tearing apart your family...
All of this is my fault.
Rei-san is lying.
At the English Embassy party
I realised how below your level I am and
I ran away from it.
If Hitoshi hadn't showed up at that timing
I probably would have jumped into any man's arms.
I'm the one who's disgusting.
From the moment I met you,
"Maybe life CAN be easy for me"
That's what I thought.
I'm that kind of woman.
I was so lonely that I became cold and calculated
Because I wasn't loved I searched
furiously for somebody that would protect me.
At the time I thought that WAS "love" though
If that isn't love, what is?
But I couldn't love you completely
or be of any use to you...
and I couldn't take it anymore.
In the end I thought Hitoshi could take me to
and even better world.
I was so stupid...
I tore your house to pieces.
I'm really, really awful. - No you aren't.
Don't lie like that! - It's the truth.
I'm not in love with you.
I just used you. - Stop trying to protect eachother!
I'm never, ever going to divorce.
Open your eyes!
We need to be together!
This kind of scandle won't be ignored at Kasumigaseki!
At this rate...
Hitoshi's future will disappear too.
Let's go home.
I'm not going with either of you.
I've decided to not rely on people anymore.
I've decided to live life on my own from now.
I'm gunna go out so both of you, please leave while I'm gone.
I'm not gunna quit.
Then you'll have to quit work. - I won't quit either!
Once Muraki is in he'll need people to
make moves for him. - Muraki will never be in.
Why?
Because you're behind a plan to destroy him?
The people will prevail.
And I'm going to protect Rei-san.
You...You're not even
my son anymore.
Rei-san, open up.
I want to talk alone.
Rei-san! Rei-san!
Quiet down.
I don't have the money to move. Stop being a nuisance
A nuisance?
I'm relieved now I'm alone.
Even though I wanted a family so much...
After being seperated from them I feel so at ease.
I'm actually quite happy at the moment. - I don't believe you!
What I said before wasn't a lie.
I'm really a selfish person.
I don't mind!
I like you even IF you are!
I love you!
I don't know what I was thinking the other day. Forgive me.
Don't come anymore. - I can't!
I don't think Dad or anyone at work will understand
But...But I want to be with you
I don't have any interest in being with you.
I don't ever want to see your face again.
Go home.
They came back to life...
I don't love you.
I'm not going with either of you.
I've decided to live alone from now on.
I think burueaucrats are the ones who understand the most.
But why won't they do it?
If the Japanese Revolution party wins the election we'll overhaul
Public Servant system and start a re-structuring of evecutives.
To achieve this we'll need people who think of the country, not
the government!
Today the son is strong
as soon as the washing is put on the line it starts to dry.
The Shigemura men's shirts are T-shirts and their underwear are trunks.
Maybe it was something the first wife started.
Their initials are written in felt pen on them.
Call the head of the Tax Department Sakamoto for me.
Yes.
Like you asked I compiled a comparison of each party's
stance on the Public Servant System revolution.
Understanding all of this is very important.
Boss!
Marusa has started an investigation on the Chairman of one of Muraki's sponsors
The current government's really busy trying to bust Muraki's balls huh...
Oh well, it's not a bad thing right?
For Kasumigaseki atleast. - Are you sure?
I don't think we should be so defensive at a time like this.
What does it MEAN to be a bureaucrat?
There's no point in protecting Kasumigaseki's pride
if Japan crumbles.
Elimination of vested interests, reduction of expenditures and garnering economic growth -
the Public Servant System overhaul is neccesary to do these things. And no one should be getting
in the way of Muraki who is trying to realize it.
Call the Chief Prosecutor for me. - Okay.
My dad's movements have become faster.
Ever since that night, he started looking at me as an enemy.
Muraki-san! Muraki-san!
Is it true you gave advise to evade taxes?
No. Why in the world would I do that?
It seems like the Tax Department is getting heavily involved...
Please tell me the truth?
I'm sorry about all of this... It's okay.
This guys the Treasury Head's son so
no-one would ever guess Muraki is here now.
Oh, put your jacket here.
Sorry, the media is everywhere. I can't even go to my own house.
People would see me at hotels too. My secretary is going to get my futon right now.
Sorry I don't have a spare one... Do you need to use the shower?
You're so hospitable. I think I'd rather a beer first?
Sure, here.
I don't remember making any advise to evade tax.
You believe me, right? - Of course.
Okay, cheers then. - Cheers.
I'll protect you Sensei.
I have to protect Muraki-san and Rei-san from my Dad.
Especially... Rei-san...
I got a call before.
Kosei Sangyo's CEO and Financial Consultant
Both got called for questioning by the prosecutors.
I guess your Dad having dinner
with Tokyo's Chief Prosecutor was all
in preparation for this. - It looks like it.
Tomorrow we've gotta take a firm stance and
strongly deny the tax evasion claims.
Actually in the Weekly Japan I wrote an anonymous
piece saying that the Treasury is secretly
trying to crush Muraki. - Good work!
I think the article will come out next week. - Did you get a statement from Sano?
I don't even need it. Weekly Magazines will pick up
anything if it's interesting. - Even without solid proof?
You've come all this way and you'll still stand up for you Dad?
No! I just think that we should be
playing things clean at this point. - They're playing dirty too!
I don't think this is even really enough to make a stand against your Dad!
But...! - Come on you guys.
Morita-kun I want you to keep
running campaigns in the Mai-asa newspaper undermining the current government
and I also want you to keep trying to
exposing Mr. Shibusawa's schemes in the weeklies.
I think it's a good tactic.
It's okay Shibusawa-kun, we'll definitely succeed with this.
If we think twice now we'll lose.
Let's give it our best! - Let's turn things around.
My time will definitely come. I'm telling you now guys.
Yes?
I signed the divorced forms and brought them here.
Don't tell me you were gunna say to leave them in the postbox?
These don't look like divorce forms.
It's consolation money.
Not consolation money for me and you, for you and Hitoshi.
I'm not going to meet Hitoshi again. I don't need the money.
I thought you might say that.
But there's one thing I want you to understand for me.
I told you that you wern't right for me but
you're even LESS right for Hitoshi.
It's hard for me to take as a Father.
I'm asking begging you as Hitoshi's Father.
You don't need to worry.
Okay well take this then.
Are you doing all of this just
to humiliate me or something?
Maybe a little...
Get out!
Otsukaresama deshita.
- Otsukaresama.
Hello?
Hello? Who is this?
Are you going for a long trip or something? - Yes.
Hello? I just got a call from you?
Aa.
Ummm, who exactly is this?
It's me.
Me...Me?
Who?
It's Shibusawa.
Ohhhh, did you have a fight with your wife or something?
Well yeah, something like that.
And what would you want from me?
There's nothing I want really. - Hm?
If you don't have any business with me why'd you call?
Haven't you heard from Hitoshi-san?
Hitoshi?
I've recently become a member of Muraki's support party.
The other day there was a meeting and
I saw Hitoshi-san there too.
It looks like Muraki-Sensei might actually be about to win.
But if the Revolution Party takes government
you won't be able to get that post you were eying anymore, right?
There's no way the Japan Revolution Party will gain power.
You don't know that for sure. I mean, I'm supporting them after all.
The men that I bet on always come out on top.
Just like you used to.
You shouldn't have fucked with me.
My parents' ashes aren't in this grave.
Their bodies both disperse in the sky and see from the accident.
My Dad's diary and Mother's hand mirror
that were left in their luggage at the hotel are in there.
Cape Benile...
I thought that deep see and strong wind would
bring some happiness to me but
life isn't that simple...
Thank you so much.
When I lived at the Shibusawa's I could buy as many flowers as
I wanted and hang them around the house.
That kind of luxury was almost unbelievable.
I don't know what I was thinking...
But today is pay day so once I finish work
I'll buy just one flower for myself.
Kosei Sangyo's Financial consultant was arrested.
Financial Consultant? Not the CEO?
Does that mean the CEO fessed up to the Tax evasion?
And the consultant who denied it got arrested?
Aww the Weekly Japan just came out today but
after hearing about the arrest I'm kind of depressed.
Komiya-kun. - Yes?
Call the Executive Director of the Mai-Asa paper Yoshida for me
Okay.
Okay okay.
Ou.
Frau Pudding. - Yesss!
Why are you wearing that stuff? - Oh, I just cleaned the bath.
Lately I'm doing housework all day.**
Let's eat the pudding. Get the spoons out.
Stop being so domineering like Dad.
What're you doing? - Shut up.
I'm trying to release a lot of deep emotions right now.
Huh? - You're so dull.
I was meant to become Jikkun's wife
Take care of your Dad after he retires politics
and write novels in this house.
I was gunna put a small Vinyl Pool in this terrace
and watch over our children in it. - You're still going on about that?
I can't trust anyone who gets over things
really quickly.
I'm sure your Dad hasn't forgotten that woman yet either.
He seems fine to me. - Wow you're dull.
I may be dull but...
I'm over it.
Over the fact you and bro dated once.
Oh really? Wanna fool around today then?
Haa?
Let's eat this pudding. - Un.
Flowers can't speak.
They can't lie like me, or make any excuses
but they're still living.
That's why I like them.
Rei-san, how are you?
I'm deep in the war with my Dad.
Right now I'm thinking up the speech
for Muraki-san's next press conference.
When I think of my Dad saying to me "what do you think a bureaucrats real job is?"
I actually get the chills a little.
I want to meet you Rei-san.
Rei-san...
There's no way...
Someone would call me...
I'm gunna go. - Un.
Ojyama shimashita.
Welcome home. - It's been awhile since Icame over.
I wear briefs.
You wrote the opposite in the Glass House right?
"The Shigemura men's shirts are T shirts and underwear are trunks"
I actually wear briefs though.
You're reading it!? Thank you so much.
It's quite good. - You're reading it...
Even my secretary is reading it, she's crazy bout it.
Thank your secretary for me.
I'm sure she'll be moved.
If she knows it was really a message from you.
I'm actually dating Ken-chan at the moment.
I think I'll be coming over more now so...
Yoroshikiu onegaishimasu. - So quick telling people...
Why is is that both of my sons
are just so passive?
If it's because of the way I raised them
nothing's can fix it.
Goto-kun, I'm against you two dating eachother.
If I was going to give up when someone opposed me
I'd have never started dating him.
Next month the results for Kenji's bar exam will come out.
If he passes he'll have to make a few changes.
I haven't comitted any crimes.
Now I think about it
I only really liked Jikkun's face.
His face?
But this time I actually like Ken-chan's heart.
Ken-chan's nice to people.
He's really worried about you too.
I know it must be hard for him too.
When I got dumped he listened to my complaints for hours and hours.
I fell in love with Jikkun's face. This time I fell in love with Ken-chan's heart.
When I first came to this house Ken-chan was only in elementary school
but I'm surprised by how he's grown so much.
So Hitoshi is all looks then?
Well yeah, I guess so.
Jikkun was always popular but until he met that woman
I don't think that he'd ever seriously loved someone before in his life.
- That's enough. And that's why I think he was so casual with me.
I'm sure that he's different now though.
Stop talking about bro.
So what about you? - Huh?
I'm asking you what you like about me.
Well...I dunno...
Be like your brother and learn to love and be strong!
Yep, I'm definitely against this.
Don't come over here anymore.
If you had just shutup about it...
It's because you're so casual about everything
Huh?
Ahh nevermind. See you later.
Why did Muraki get smashed in the paper!?
Sorry. I wanted to stop it but I couldn't.
It's not about you! The Mai-asa paper was meant to be
in support of Muraki. But now...
Your Dad's connections are deep, from prosecutors to the mass media
I couldn't stop him.
Sorry...
Do you think Muraki-san will actually get arrested?
I'm not sure but it's possible. - Even though he's innocent?
Being innocent or not isn't the issue!
The other side's goal is to squash Muraki.
Why are we so damn powerless...
Leave the budget revision to me.
I'm counting on you. Oh and Shibusawa-kun
do you think Muraki will be arrested?
Please ask the Minister of Justice about that.
That's no good.
Especially since you who used to be in charge of Legal Affairs
has a prosecutor acquintance.
There's no way one bureucrat like me
could do what you couldn't, Sir.
Modest as always I see.
Arrest or no arrest
Muraki's image will be damaged due to all of this.
If you want to stay in government longer
I think maybe it would be wise to call an election.
A dissolution? If Muraki is weakening
I don't think it's necessary at all.
The rumor at the moment is 75 days.
If Muraki isn't arrest by then the eyes of the people will
be on the Kuriyama government once again.
If that happens you'll be cornered and forced into a dissolution
And the opposition taking government is a high possibility.
Of course, I myself don't want that to happen either.
A dissolution...
I'll be leaving now.
We're done. - Hai, Gokurousama.
If you ever need anything just ask.
I think we're meant to be friends.
I should be over everything but for some reason
whenever I come to this town my heart explodes.
Aa, gokurosama. - Where should we leave it?
Just over here. We'll do the rest ourselves.
Hey, come here. - Yes!
Oh, we meet again.
Just here. Do you two know eachother?
Could I ask you for some time?
I want to talk with her. - Okay, I'll be waiting in the car.
Okay. - Thank you.
What did you want to talk about?
It's strange. We run into eachother so much.
By the way you're so beautiful
why don't you get a job where you can show it off?
If you'd just asked me I could have introduced you to
a much better job.
I actually like this job. I'll be going now.
Ahh nee nee. The lady in that flower store.
She's always asking where you went.
You should go say hello to her sometime.
Shitsurei shimasu.
Is Muraki-san here?
Oh, now I get it.
Rei-san!
How are you?
Jikkun...
I knew this town was no good for me.
Jikkun.
Aren't you living happily?
Quit me! quit fighting over me!
It's a good thing we became friends, huh?
I won't lose to Dad! That's my love for Rei-san!
I have something interesting to report.
Something bad is going to happen
and I didn't even realize.
