I feel sick.
Chiwa, are you...
Is this...
We did it!
Good evening.
Don't you want to know
who killed your mother?
Who was it?
It's Satoru.
He acts like he's the nice guy
but he's also part of the Mamiya family.
He doesn't want his life to be disturbed by a newbie like you.
Now that Seiji's dead,
he should have been the next in line,
but you changed that.
I can't believe that.
Hokuto,
I heard from my dad
that when he came to our place the other day
he saw Satoru.
Close to our place.
Is that true?
He sounds even more fishy then.
I heard Satoru and the Chairman talk in private.
The Chairman said he can't protect him any further.
I'm sorry.
It must've been a huge stress for Seiji
his woman having been killed.
But he never told the truth for the sake of the family.
He knew that a scandal could affect the company's performance
and eventually, the lives of family members and employees.
He knew that.
So he hid the truth.
It's my responsibility.
So my father knew about this too?
Yeah.
But he kept it a secret for the family.
Family?
What is that about?
Hokuto,
don't you want revenge on them?
You must be frustrated too.
I am also frustrated at being treated as an outsider.
Let's join forces.
Threaten to disclose this to the media and take over the company.
Once we get a hold of the company
it's up to you whether you want to keep it or destroy it.
EPISODE 11 MADNESS OUT OF CONTROL
Apparently I'm always unfortunate when it comes to family.
Even when I was born...
Even as I live, I'm not being welcomed.
That's not true.
At least your mom raised you with lots of love.
Your dad was trying to protect you too.
I'm glad to have you by my side.
You're the only family I have.
And...
Hokuto...
First let's go to the hospital for a check-up.
But don't tell anyone yet.
We're surrounded by enemies.
When they find out about our child...
I don't even want to think about it.
At this rate, you might be targeted as well.
Okay.
Can I tell Soma, though?
Oh, my God!
I'm very happy for you!
Congratulations, Mrs. Mamiya!
Thanks.
I'm so happy.
I need to cook red rice for you.
Are you a boy or a girl?
It feels like I have a grandchild now. What do you want as a gift?
What would your child want? A merry-go-round? A crib?
It's a little early, but a wooden horse?
Peek-a-boo!
-That's a little too early. -No, ma'am.
Better to be brisk and sharp than slow and prudent.
You can't be too early.
I...
I'm glad I've been taking care of you.
Yoko must be
happy too.
What is it?
Ms. Shitara wants to offer condolences regarding your father.
Let her in.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I was working in Paris and I couldn't come see your father.
So I wanted to at least give my condolences to you.
Thanks.
I'm sad too.
He was very nice to me.
He really liked you.
Excuse me.
The president of Sumida Chemical will be here at 10:00 a.m.
Understood.
You seem busy so I'll leave.
Say hi to your wife.
Wait, I want to ask you something.
What?
Did Dad say something to you about his past?
His past?
You know my mother died in a car accident.
To protect you.
You knew that too.
Apparently the perpetrator is someone from my family.
It seems like my dad knew who it was.
Did he say something about that?
No, nothing.
I see...
I'm sorry I can't help.
To tell you the truth,
my wife is pregnant.
I don't want her to end up like my mother.
So I don't know what my dad was thinking.
If Chiwa were killed and I knew who did it
I could never forgive that person.
I can't keep it a secret to protect that person.
I'm sorry, it's got nothing to do with you.
Yes, it has.
Remember,
I'm always on your side.
Thank you for waiting.
You came all the way here, Rika?
You didn't have to do this.
It's fine, I like doing this once a month.
I'm slowly getting used to my life over there.
Good. Let's start, then.
Today's flower is the lily. The plant we're using is Areca palm.
Communicate with the plants before arranging them.
The Mamiya family holds a flower arrangement event
taught by Rieko once a month.
We need to study Japanese culture for foreign guests.
Yes.
I've been lenient with you until now.
But now, as part of the Mamiya family
I want you to participate in all of its events.
Yes, I will.
Could you please distribute Casablanca?
You know the names of the flowers, right?
It's those white lilies there, right?
-I like flowers and plants. -Is that so?
I'll do my best.
I'm sorry, I need to use the bathroom.
Are you all right?
Are you feeling sick?
Yes. Sorry.
Are you pregnant?
I thought so.
When I had Takayuki, I had really bad morning sickness.
The early period is the worst.
Your belly is still small so no one will notice.
Um...
Could you not tell this to the others yet?
Sure.
It's better to notify people when it's stable.
Thank you.
Is something wrong?
Could you get her some water?
Yes, ma'am.
This is not good. They found out you're pregnant.
Sorry.
I told Saori to keep this a secret.
Satoru might've noticed. He has good intuition.
Do you really think Satoru tried to kill you?
Even though your dad and Satoru are brothers?
An old idiom goes, brothers are incipient strangers.
History teaches us that even blood-related brothers
can have brutal quarrels.
Sorry, I'm not educated enough.
Okay. Let's hire a bodyguard.
That's over the top.
How many times have you been targeted?
You need to have a better sense of danger.
The danger past and God forgotten.
Well, Hokuto's the one who's in danger.
You're the one who should get a bodyguard.
I am his bodyguard.
I might not look like it,
but I have a rank five black belt in Judo, Karate and Aikido.
I'm ready!
Okay.
Your father also has a bodyguard.
He needs to be watched for several reasons.
"Several reasons"?
This is not good.
My 1,000 yen for the day are gone.
Sorry, Chiwa!
I won't use any more money!
Work used to be everything.
I no longer want to sadden my wife.
To tell you the truth,
my wife is pregnant.
Did you send for me?
Hello.
This is Misaki. I have a small favor to ask of you.
What?
The resort hotel my company's associated with
is not performing well.
I see. That hotel.
I want you to come see the place with me as a business consultant.
In that case, we probably won't be able to come back on the same day.
I can't spend the night out now. I'm sorry.
I get it. You're worried about your wife, right?
I have a skilled bodyguard.
He can take care of your wife while you're away. How does that sound?
Hmm...
I don't want to say this,
but I did help you get out of trouble the other day.
Now it's your turn to help me out in a pinch.
Okay. Thanks for offering your bodyguard.
I've been thinking of hiring one anyway.
You're going on a business trip to Misaki's hotel?
The hotel's going through a financial crisis
and she asked me to help.
Misaki helped my company recover from a crisis.
That's true.
You can't refuse.
It's fine. You can go.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I'm no longer worried about Misaki.
She might still have feelings for you,
but I'm pregnant with your child.
I don't think you'd do anything suspicious in such a situation.
I mean, there are guys like that out there, but...
Okay.
I'll go then.
While I'm gone...
What?
I'm Ko Younce.
Hello.
I will be your bodyguard for the next two days.
Thank you.
Isn't the view spectacular?
It certainly is good place.
You must've spent a huge amount of money developing this place.
Today's theme will be "Dishes made by guys."
So we need to expand our target to young male users as well.
Let's eat. I'm hungry. Let's take a break now. What do you say?
Sure. Agreed.
I'm getting a hamburger and, let me see...
And a wine set.
What are you getting, Chiwa?
I'm not going to drink.
Didn't you drink before? It's okay, just have one glass.
Um...
Don't force her to drink.
Besides, if we drink in the afternoon, the quality of our work will drop.
What a boring guy. Why are you going out with him, Chiwa?
Huh?
You've been going out with him for a long time, right?
We're not dating.
What, but you said you were dating.
I did say that, but it was to protect her from you.
You flirt with girls.
Oh. That's what you think about me?
What do you mean, protect her?
You only do that if you like her, right?
Um...
Chiwa's married.
Really?
I'm going to the bar to get a refill!
What? Married?
I'm sorry I lied.
It's okay.
You're drinking non-caffeinated tea today? You usually get coffee.
Well...
Drinking too much coffee is not good for you.
Are you hiding something from me?
Nothing in particular.
Is it a baby?
How did you know?
I've seen my brother's wife while she was pregnant, so I can tell.
I see.
It seems like I can't hide anything from you.
So you're going to be a mother, Chiwa.
Yes.
I'm happy for you.
Let me know right away if you get tired or start feeling sick.
Okudera is a good guy,
but he's not good at noticing those things.
Thank you.
What a great view.
Yes. All rooms are suites with full privacy.
It's a great place to spend time as a couple.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Do you like it?
It's good.
Rezze Fiano.
It's imported from Italy.
It must cost a lot to import drinks and food.
You can save expenses by using local food and wine.
Hire high-end chefs and use local food.
I know. But I can't really find good food here.
Something must come up if we do a bit of research.
Please wait a little.
You're so reliable!
CHIWA
E-MAIL ADDRESS chiwa@mobile.jp
I found quite a few.
How about this one?
Do that later.
Let's at least enjoy our time together.
I came here to work.
I didn't invite you over for work.
I wanted to be alone with you.
Where's your husband today?
He's on a business trip tonight.
He's inspecting a resort hotel with Misaki.
Misaki, that female company president?
Yeah. The one the gossip is about.
Aren't you worried?
Weren't they dating in the past?
It's fine. Married couples need to trust each other.
No matter how far he is, we're still emotionally connected.
I think that's important.
I'll take care of this.
What are you doing?
What is this?
Stop that. This isn't like you.
This isn't like me?
You're right.
I'm an understanding girl who accepts whatever you say.
I never disturbed your work.
You told me to break up with you, so I obediently did it.
Do you understand why?
"Marriage is simply a method to join the Mamiya family.
"It doesn't matter who becomes my wife. There's no love involved."
That's what you said!
I was fine with a marriage devoid of love.
If work was your first priority, then I wanted to become the second.
I wanted to support you the only way I could.
But you've changed.
You put your work second so your wife doesn't get sad.
You became a man who doesn't want to work away from home
and leave his pregnant wife.
That's why I quit being your understanding girl.
I'm going to steal you from her by force!
Chiwa.
You're going to sleep with me tonight.
And you're going home with a secret.
I gave you my everything. You're going to do something for me too.
You're out of your mind.
We're over.
You don't know
that I'm holding your wife hostage. Have you forgotten?
Hostage?
Yes.
That bodyguard will do anything I ask of him.
If you don't sleep with me,
I'm going to deliver your wife to the hands of your enemies.
What are you saying?
The Mamiya guy. Was his name Satoru?
He's a spiteful relative, isn't he?
He tried to kill you when you were still a boy.
What would he do to her?
-Let's run! -Huh?
Are you all right?
Yeah.
FINAL EPISODE
Please tell me openly who it was that tried to kill Hokuto.
You killed a person!
What are you going to do, Hokuto?
I'm never going to forgive you for what you did to my mother.
Can I punch him once?
I'm protecting her.
I have you.
Hokuto, you are a good leader.
DIVORCE FORM
Thank you.
Hokuto.
I'm sorry, Chiwa.
