Episode 2
Maia's Longest Day
(Part 2)
Thank you for calling.
This is Nereids Kamchatka Branch...
your secure, trusted, all-around service provider.
Yes, anything at all.
To swiftly meet and resolve all your needs and requests is our...
Um, excuse me, could you hold for a moment, please.
Ouch...
Don't come any closer!
Calm down. Staying here will do you no good.
Leave right this instant, before they come back.
We just can't do that. That's absurd.
Don't worry, it'll work out.
Oh, you're awake.
Hey, get her something to wear.
Sure.
Your clothes were wet, they're in the washer now...
Wear my clothes until yours dry.
How do they fit?
They feel too loose in the chest...
Sorry.
Sweetie.
Yes?
Come with me.
Come on, move!
Ah, yes...
You too, Shizuka.
OK.
Branch Manager.
Yes?
If you don't have anything to do, make some tea for us or something.
Yes, ma'am!
Branch Manager?
That's right.
Come on, hurry up.
Um, I think we should stop doing things like this.
Don't worry about it, just take one of those and hide.
OK.
Sweetie.
Yes!
Here.
Unlock it.
Go on.
Well, it's unlocked...
Bye!
Good job.
Come on, sweetie.
Look, can you lie down next to him for a second?
Rena.
Just don't worry about it.
See, their heights are almost the same.
And her physique should be able to pass as well.
But why go so far just to get the money back?
It's a good opportunity not only to get the money...
but also to capture his older brother.
There's a reward on the heads of these thieving brothers.
If we get the money back and hand them to the police at the same time...
it'll be killing two birds with one stone.
But this girl is...
She'll be fine.
Shooting an unsuspecting man at point-blank range is child's play.
But to drag an innocent bystander into this is...
Where do you think you're going?
I think I'll go home now.
Well... there are things I need to do...
Like looking for a place to live?
Or looking for a job? Maybe both, if possible.
How did you know?
I could get those things for you. If you'd do a bit of work for us.
Er...
Damn, you whacked the hell out of me.
Call your brother.
Tell him to bring the money to the Dock 7 pier at midnight tonight.
Um...
Don't give me that look.
I won't make you do anything unreasonable.
I guarantee your personal safety.
Shizuka.
Where's Chang?
Come out.
See, we brought him just as we said!
OK, let him go! Let him walk over to me!
You have it wrong.
We have control over the situation, not you.
Give us the money first!
Check it.
OK.
Hey! Give my brother back!
I'm taking off his handcuffs.
Listen, you do exactly as we planned, and you'll be paid handsomely, OK?
Um...
Now, go.
Get a move on! Let's run for it!
Don't move!
Damn! You set me up!
Please get out of the car!
The safety's still on.
How dare you mess with me!
Where's Chang?
Who are you people anyway?
No, it's not like that! I'm not one of them!
OK, then why don't you tell me what's going on.
Yes...
So that's what's happened.
Oh, that's a bummer if I ever heard one.
And, I don't have time.
I have to find a job with room and board right away, and...
All right!
Wait there for a sec.
Yes, sir.
Let me see, I thought it was somewhere around here...
Um, can I give you a hand?
Nah, no need just now.
Oh, here it is.
Sorry.
We have to make a living, too.
The total amount stolen?
Well, 10 million rimas.
We got back 2 million rimas and...
A fake bottom.
Our cut is 10%, right?
How about this.
We tell the client that we want off this job and pocket all the money.
With the reward money we'll get for Chang, we'll be better off that way.
That's besides the point!
Not only did you use a girl, who has nothing to do with this, as bait...
you relinquished her into the hands of an outlaw!
Doesn't it bother you?
Shouldn't you at least be worried about her?
That's exactly the attitude that's kept you at the branch manager level.
Your former colleagues all now work at the head office.
But you're just a run-of-the-mill middle manager.
Living in a rented house with a wife and kid.
The expense of raising your daughter standing in the way of home ownership.
Are you OK, Branch Manager?
You won't achieve results by sweating the details, you know.
How can you be so cold-blooded...
Nereids people are horrible.
You captured me, a complete stranger, and used me in dealing with a bad man.
Thanks to you, I'm now held hostage by the bad man...
and as you can see, my situation is dire.
It's all Nereids' fault.
You will be given one last chance.
It's an exchange of me for Chang this time.
Please come to the same place at 6 o'clock.
If you try to pull any tricks again, I...
You can't do that!
I will be dead. You have been warned.
After... after killing me, he will use part of my severed body to...
I'll send this tape to the press! Do you hear?
Oh, and also... Don't forget the 2 million you took earlier!
See, I told you...!
Shizuka.
OK!
Don't just stand there like an idiot, get Chang, now!
Yes, ma'am!
Brother!
Chang, is that you?
Is it really you this time?
Sorry, bro! It's me! It's really me this time!
Which number was my dad out of Mom's former lovers?
He was number 4!
And your dad?
Number 7!
OK. Let him bring the money to me!
Release the hostage first! Or I'll throw this into the water!
I have control over the situation, not you!
Shizuka.
No mistake, they're real!
OK! Give the money to Chang and let him walk over here!
The key to the handcuffs.
Brother, go ahead!
Go!
Go.
If you do anything funny, we'll shoot you without a moment's hesitation.
Come on, sweetie!
Yes!
Listen. Don't you dare run, you hear me?
Yes.
Chang, hurry up!
Brother!
Stay cool!
Now we can see in front of us.
Damn!
They don't know when to stop!
Let's split up and get them from both sides!
Roger!
Brother!
Die!
Damn!
Hey, give me a hand!
Get out of the way!
She's coming!
They've crashed into the wave-break pillar!
Rena, we can't go any deeper with the bikes!
The driver was...
Good job.
Pretty impressive. How did you bring it back to life?
I did the same thing the day before yesterday.
Here they come.
It's you guys again.
You saved us a trip bringing them to the station.
You can transfer the reward money into our usual account.
The commotion at the sidewalk cafe the day before yesterday...
you caused it as well, didn't you?
Who's that?
Everything seems to be in order. Then, as we agreed...
Thank you so much.
I'm so grateful that there are people like you.
I can ask you to do things that I can't ask the police.
Please be assured...
under no circumstances will we violate the confidentiality.
Our clients' smiles are our joy.
We at Nereids Kamchatka Branch...
your secure, trusted, all-around service provider, appreciate your business.
Hello, Nereids Kamchatka Branch.
Oh, Branch Manager.
Yes, yes.
Oh, before I forget.
Can you get some oil for the bikes on the way back?
And stop by the restaurant and pick up some chili noodles...
dim sum set, almond jelly, tapioca, juice, and ice cream, please.
Oh, you're up.
Here, your clothes are dry now.
Thank you very much!
You did a great job today. I'll keep my promise, too.
Have you forgotten?
I told you I'd find you a job and place to live.
From now on you're going to be living...
here.
You seem reasonably useful, so we'll hire you.
The starting salary is 15,000 rimas...
boarding and other expenses will be automatically deducted.
What do you say?
No thank you!
Do you have money for the train fare?

Keep it clean, OK?
OK.
She was sure you'd be back.
Rena. So she got this room ready for you.
Rena?
Rena Honjyo.
Our leader at the Nereids Kamchatka Branch.
And I'm Shizuka Hayama. Nice to work with you.
You too.
Um...
She...
how did Rena know that I was looking for a job and place to live?
Oh. Well, I guess you could say she has really good intuition.
She scares even me sometimes.
Grandpa...
