She's already this old,
so I don't feel right sitting here as the older brother,
in place of her parents...
or maybe as her parent.
Is that so?
But, what a cute person.
Doesn't look like 29 at all.
Uh... I'm 28...
Doesn't matter,
you'll be 29 after your birthday.
But I'm still 28.
Sorry.
No...
Is she cute?
- Yes, she's cute. - Cute, isn't she?
People were always saying she's cute from since she was little.
- And when we went to the bathhouse... - Bathhouse?
Bath...
Bathhouse?
A place where you pay to take a bath?
Yes.
Bathhouse.
When we were at the bathhouse,
how do I put it...
Everyone said she was pretty too, like a movie star.
Really?
That aunty at the bathhouse
always gave her free milk.
Milk?
Milk...
- Eh... - What...
- Cow milk? - Yes.
I'm sorry, I'm asking a lot of strange questions.
Yeah, you are...it's milk.
- Milk. - Right.
Oh, let's tell him about...
She was asked to do a powdered milk commercial.
She's been discovered before?
Eh?
A commercial...
It's that aunty at the bathhouse.
An interesting person...
more interesting than I thought.
More than what the photo shows.
Brother!
- Sorry. - No, not at all.
I'm sorry, let's drink one more.
No, no, please go ahead.
Please let me...
I am very sorry.
Please wait a moment.
No problem. Use this to wipe.
- Are you OK? - I'm fine.
All because of me not...
I'm very sorry.
We'll remove the stain. Please remove your jacket.
- It's OK, it's OK. - No problem.
- Don't hesitate... - It will be stained.
Is that so? Let them do it.
- But... - Please take it off.
Sorry for the trouble.
- No, it was our fault. - Excuse me.
- I'm very sorry. - Thank you.
Ah...
- Aren't you cold? - Thank you.
- Sorry about what happened. - No.
Ryo.
My apologies...
- Excuse me. - Thank you.
A Million Stars Falling From The Sky
Episode 2
Right...
We shouldn't have poured the wine ourselves. That's for sake only...
I was too careless.
But Kusaka-san didn't notice.
Oh, your scars?
Is that so?
Ah! Got it out!
Look how big, can you see it?
I'm not looking.
It's big.
Disgusting!
It doesn't matter even if he discovers it.
Hey, did that guy notice it?
Who?
The guy who was quarreling on the ship.
Ah...
Didn't he hurriedly get out the blanket to cover you?
I wonder if he noticed...
- No phone call, huh? - From who?
That man from the blind date.
Brother, you talked too much. About the bathhouse and all.
No, it's pronounced "BATH - house.".
"BATH - house"
Just like that...
He was a good person.
Is it the "Bathhouse" guy...?
Is it really okay not to take you home?
Yeah.
I'll just stroll around.
50 seconds to the deadline.
You're right... I'll be scolded.
30 seconds left.
Good night.
The people at HQ are impressed with Chief Osawa as well.
No wonder he's a chief.
Well...
Great, great...
-Well, bye... - I'd like some coffee.
Sure, just a moment...
You're lazing off?
What is this?
Hello, what happened?
A meeting for the investigation.
Is that so?
You really know how to be lazy.
Like a freshman running away from orientation.
How's the situation?
Right.
That man on the photograph,
the one who disappeared right after the event happened...
He appeared to have been dumped by the victim recently.
Someone saw them quarreling outside the apartment building.
Is that so?
Any interesting gossip?
Excuse me, I'm still trying to find out.
Growing your hair that much in just one day...
That's not possible...
Skin care? Right.
So you're looking for that...
That's right.
Recently, there are shops that combine beauty salons and skin care,
but I feel the university hospital would be better.
I guess you're right.
Should we call and ask...
Yuko doesn't mind those scars?
No, she doesn't mind them herself.
Is that so?
Yes.
Right, more importantly,
that marriage thing the other day.
Looks like a decent fellow.
Oh, the guy from the arranged date? That's right.
I see.
So you want to take care of this before the marriage...
Well, in place of the father.
Lately,
medicine has improved.
As long as you have the money,
a scar like that can be easily removed,
l think...
It's a good chance.
He looks like a kind person.
People say that...!
When they can't praise him by saying "he's cool" or "he's handsome,"
they say "he's kind."
Cool!
Forget it.
But really very kind-looking.
Yeah.
Looks like a decent fellow.
Then why don't you see him again?
Not just because of that.
No problem.
Yuko, you'll fall in love too.
I wonder?
I'm not as popular as you, Miwa.
I'm not so popular.
So you say.
You were very popular during high school.
But...
it's been 7 or 8 years already, sensei.
Cut out the "sensei."
Well, you were once my tutor.
Even so...
I hope you can be happy, sensei.
I'm fine, really.
Really?
Well, how about you, Miwa?
I...
I like someone.
Really?
Who is it?
Who, come on, who!
Someone I met on the ship during the party.
We're already dating.
Who is it?
That person who catered... the one who fought.
"Hey! Stop that!"
That person?
I'll introduce you to him next time.
Sorry!
I'm sorry...
How did that happen just now?
- Who knows. - Hard to say.
I'm sorry, I'll change it for you right away.
Please...
I'm sorry, Ryo-san.
Someone shocked me by hitting me, then everything went all over the place.
Do you think everything's really correct?
I don't know.
How could that be...? Give me a drink.
Here's my phone number.
Be sure to call me, OK?
Your boyfriend's watching.
I'll be waiting...
Bye bye.
What's with that girl?
I don't know.
Is this okay?
Bye bye!
- Kan-chan... - What?
Nothing, never mind.
What? You make me feel strange.
Then I'll say it.
Go ahead, I'm ready.
Yuko's scars...
They were caused by an incident in the past?
Yeah, she doesn't know about it herself.
Kan, your not getting married...
could it be because you still care about that incident in the past?
I'm sorry, I've said too much.
No, not a problem at all.
But to me now...
marriage is a little...
Come to think of it, you're not getting married?
You can still do it, and you're pretty too.
Bye bye.
Uhh...I'll give this to you.
Bye!
I'm not happy about this!
I wonder why...
Ryo-san, you never talk about yourself.
Where do you come from, what have you done...
Is that so?
Not too bad from a girl's point of view.
Feels a little dangerous...
How's it going with the Nishihara Princess?
- Nothing. - I bet nothing.
- Did you do it with her? - Don't talk like that.
Sorry.
You're serious?
Ryo...
l've been looking for you.
Really?
I'm glad you asked me out, Miwa-san.
We'll be there soon.
I am truly sorry.
Do you always serve coffee this bitter?
Change it.
Right away!
Excuse me...
Quickly!
That's enough.
We will eat now.
Right away!
Sorry about that, Miwa-san.
It's all right.
- Kashiwagi-san... - Yes?
I'll say it clearly.
What is it?
There's someone I like.
Someone you like?
Yes.
We're dating.
Have you slept with him?
Think about what you're worth.
Worth?
You have a price on you.
Because you're the daughter of Nishihara Group.
So think about what you should do
to really gain happiness.
My life is my own business.
That's not true.
Whether it's your life, or you yourself,
you're mine.
Welcome!
Good evening.
It's been a long time.
I've been a little busy.
Don't work too hard.
Let's see...
The grilled fish meal, what kind is it today?
- Green fish... We still have some? - Yes.
I want one, and...
some nikujaga, I guess.
And...
A beer?
Thank you for the meal.
Thank you.
- Thanks. - Yes, thank you.
Welcome!
The grilled fish meal.
All right!
Here you are.
Thanks.
Here you are, one order of grilled fish.
Ah...
I...
I ordered first...
I thought you would have nikujaga and beer first...
I see...
Please go ahead.
That's OK...
You said you were first, so you must want it. Go ahead.
Aunty, can I have some natto?
- Natto? - Yeah.
It's all right.
Here you go... natto.
What about the blind date?
- Eh? - Blind date?
Ah...
- Go to the bathhouse, become popular... - Stop it!
- Getting milk... - Stop!
- And some advertisement thing... - Unbelievable!
Is that so.
It seems to be going well.
The blind date.
I see...
He said I was cute, pretty, gentle. He's interested in me.
That person said so...
What?
I'm thinking about my cute, cute sister.
Cut it out.
- If you don't mind, you can... - You've been eating it already.
Please, please... can you catch it?
Quickly...
[NISHIHARA]
Thank you for tonight.
What are you doing?
Miwa-san...
It's okay, isn't it?
Please stop!
I've already talked with your father.
Please stop talking nonsense.
Bye.
It came in from somewhere this afternoon.
It's injured.
So that's why...
I thought it was strange...
Cute, isn't it?
Doesn't it look like her?
Eh?
That lady.
Miwa?
Yeah...
Pure, adorable...
Something you want to take care of...
It must have run out from its cage.
Miwa too...
You let Miwa out from her cage?
It depends on her.
I'm done eating.
Here is your change, 230 Yen.
I don't need the change. Can I have the bird instead?
Really? You've helped me out.
Oh, just a moment...
Put it in here.
That's a good idea.
Thanks! Thank you!
What a nice person and so handsome.
Does he come here often?
Yes, lately...
he always comes with a beautiful lady.
She has long hair...
Me and my big mouth.
[DANGER] [HIGH VOLTAGE]
Oh no!
To the bathroom...
Listen...
after a while...
turn the fire down by half.
Got it? Watch properly.
- It's important. - Yes.
- I told you you're wrong. - This way...
Am I suspected of something?
No, it's not that.
Can I have some of your time,
just for a quick chat.
Excuse me!
What is it?
You're the friend of that university girl?
Okuma Keigo-san. We need him to assist in investigations.
The same face as the one in the photograph.
You suspect me?
Well? Looks like that way.
But it wasn't me.
- He said it wasn't him. - Shut up!
Shut up.
Just a moment!
Sorry, just one more thing...
There's a video rack in that room.
The sequence is...
Chocolat,
Amy,
Hard Work of Love...
That was the sequence, right?
Wasn't it?
I only listen to music there...
I don't like watching movies.
That's enough.
What are you talking about?
It wasn't him.
Oh?
Why?
They're too hasty.
That guy doesn't look like he could kill someone.
How do you know?
Listen, killing requires talent.
The ultimate concentration of hatred.
You can't kill unless you've got guts.
I see.
Completely different from the feeling you get from him.
It's just instinct.
The instincts of a seasoned cop.
This looks pretty tasty.
Oh wait...
Oh, it's not.
Hello, Miwa. It's Yuko.
Did you call me today at noon?
Did something happen?
Well...
That time at your birthday party...
The person in charge of French cuisine, that man...
You mean Ryo-san?
What about him?
Ah...
Um..
Well...
I see...
I see.
Welcome.
Good evening.
Hello...
You live around here?
Well, yeah...
Is that so?
Could I have one?
Sure.
You're a detective, aren't you?
Yes...
You have a gun with you?
Not today.
I only carry it during investigations.
Oh...
Have you ever fired it?
What?
Ever fired it at someone?
Well, yes...
it comes with the job.
Is it thrilling?
You ever killed someone before?
I guess I've forgotten.
What's it like to kill someone?
Well...
You want to know?
It feels like you're dying yourself.
I'm just kidding, but I imagine it's something like that...
Isn't it strange?
What?
No matter how bad the opponent is, no matter how corrupt,
even if you're defending yourself,
a human being killing another...
humans aren't gods.
That's right...
...But with guns, don't they become gods?
The wrong kind of gods.
See you.
What are you doing?
Why are you watching that?
I've seen his eyes somewhere before...
Who?
The guy I saw out there...
You think you've seen him in the records before?
Maybe I'm wrong...
Maybe it was earlier...
A long time ago?
A very long time ago?
- Bye, Ryo! I'm leaving. - Good work!
- Sorry! - I'll take care of the rest.
Thanks!
What's up?
I brought you a snack...
Thank you.
What's the matter?
I heard a strange rumor...
Rumor?
What kind?
Are you dating someone other than me?
Let's go in, nobody's around.
What? Still watching?
Why were the videotapes back to the original sequence?
That's because...
it's a coincidence, right?
Idiot.
Or maybe someone with a good memory
remembered everything perfectly with one look.
Nobody like that exists.
Of course not!
Someone who doesn't forget after looking once...
A friend?
Yeah.
I have female friends too.
Don't you have male friends?
Not really.
Are you going to chain me?
No...
Then believe me.
I also feel uncertain.
Uncertain?
Of course.
Is this lady serious about me?
I feel uncertain.
Somehow...
we are far apart.
Far?
What should I do to feel closer?
Should we do it...?
I was kidding.
Sorry, I was just joking.
What is it?
You know...
Yeah?
You were saying to Yuko...
Yuko?
...that I am like a little white bird.
Ah!
That made me really happy.
Is that so?
Yes.
Happy.
Well...
Don't say strange things anymore.
I won't.
Thank you for this.
Take care.
Thank you.
Yuko-chan, I'm sorry...
I just closed the kitchen... - I'll just have a drink.
All right.
- There are lots of empty seats... - I came here to talk to you.
I called REVE but nobody was in, so I thought you would be here.
What is it?
Here is the last one.
Our special Tanuki-nabe
with two shrimps inside.
- Here you are. - Aunty, I...
- Go ahead and eat! - Right!
- It's good. - I know.
Listen.
What?
Miwa.
She's infatuated with you.
She's serious...
So...?
I'm worried.
Do you really like Miwa?
- You came here to ask that? - What do you mean?
Actually, you are interested...
...in me.
I'm sorry...
I am not attracted to you like that.
- You're not eating? - I am.
These scars are from when I was little.
I see.
You mind them?
Not really.
But you hid them when you were in our restaurant.
I was on a blind date with a man.
What about me?
It's OK with you.
Why?
You mind it?
Not really.
You know...
I've been wondering about this for a while...
When...?
A long, long time ago...
Poor thing...
Kan-chan...
You're still around.
Yeah.
You're really stubborn on this.
This lady is...
my type.
There you go again. Let's go home.
All right.
- Go have a drink? - Yeah.
