What is this?
You're going to sleep with me tonight.
And you're going home with a secret.
It's already over between us.
You don't know
that I have your wife as a hostage.
Hostage?
That bodyguard will listen to anything I say.
If you don't sleep with me,
I'm going to hand over that girl to your enemies.
Let's run!
The Mamiya man. What was his name, Satoru?
He's a mean relative.
He tried to kill you when you were still a boy.
Imagine what he would do to her.
Go ahead and hit me.
Hit me!
This is what I wanted to do.
Be honest with our feelings and hit each other.
But my pride got in the way!
No...
I couldn't do it
because I knew you would leave me if I showed you my true self.
I loved you
from the bottom of my heart.
If I had seen those tears earlier,
I might've changed.
But it was Chiwa who changed me.
I'm sorry.
But I feel sorry for you for seeing such a thing.
There must be a reason.
I believe in Hokuto. I'll wait for him to come home.
Then I will protect you, Chiwa.
Until Hokuto is back.
My intuition says you shouldn't go home.
I don't trust that bodyguard.
Here.
Thanks.
I take it that it's hard for you to relax in this room?
It's not that.
I feel bad
for you.
You're always kind to me.
So I relax too much
and trample on your feelings.
You're right.
Even though you're married
I feel happy being with you.
That's why
I act calm and work with you.
But sometimes
it's hard for me.
Sorry.
So, please quit your job.
Okay.
I'm also a human being.
If you fall asleep
I might sneak into your bed.
It's fine.
You wouldn't do such a thing.
You're right. I wouldn't.
Yes, ma'am. The mission is canceled?
Yes. Come back.
I love Chiwa.
Even when I'm with you
my feelings are with her.
I can't betray her.
Just go.
Go!
Hokuto...
I'm home.
Hokuto.
Sorry for making you worry.
What happened with Misaki...
It's all right. She planned everything, didn't she?
I know. It's fine.
Yagami told me you were here.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I just have one favor to ask.
What?
As of today, I want you to keep your hands off my wife.
She is my wife. I'm the one protecting her.
Okay.
But I have a favor to ask, too.
What?
Is it okay if I punch you once?
Yagami?
Very well.
Today's the day I get attacked by people.
I changed my mind.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not the type to do such a thing.
Thank heavens.
Thanks.
My 48 hour shift is over so I'm going home. -Yonce
I understand Misaki's feelings.
She loves you so much
that she can't let go of you.
So I can't blame her.
Let's get ready.
You have work today too, right? Soma will be coming to pick you up.
What are you daydreaming about?
You need to get going.
Chiwa,
I'm going to quit my job.
What?
I'm leaving the Mamiya Group
I'll resign my presidency.
Why?
I was thinking,
"Why do I have to get you involved in all these troubles?"
It's all because I'm being persistent about this position.
But you've been working hard for this for a long time.
It was your life's goal.
It no longer matters.
I have you now.
You and the baby.
If I can live with you two,
I don't have to be at the top of the world.
I can be anywhere in the world.
I'd be happy.
Would you still be with me?
Yes.
You're moving to the countryside?
We're starting over.
I see. What a pity.
Sorry, Dad.
I won't be able to visit you as often and cook dinner.
Oh, that's fine.
I have a woman I want to marry.
Really? When did that happen?
Lately, I've been seeing her every day.
She'll be here soon.
She's here! Good timing.
-Midori. -Midori?
Midori?
Are you serious? Is this a joke?
That massage chair felt really good
so I went there often and we got to know each other.
He took me to the bicycle racetrack
And I had a great time there.
Bicycle race? Midori?
She's really good with numbers.
Up until now she got 10 wins out of 15!
Unlike you darling, I analyze a lot.
"Darling..."
But don't worry. We only spend 1,000 yen per day.
We're strict about the rule.
Yes, Midori, darling.
Yuji, darling.
He said, "Midori, darling."
-I'm embarrassed. -It's okay.
I'm going to miss you.
Do let me know anytime you need any help.
If you have a child, I'll be happy to be the nanny.
Thank you.
But we'll try to do everything ourselves.
You can do everything
so I feel like I would rely on you too much.
I'm so sorry.
I couldn't help you enough.
You should find your own happiness.
You're still young and you are so beautiful.
Oh my! Mr. Mamiya.
That's called sexual harassment.
You really can't change your habit of saying mean things.
Idiom says, a peculiar horse is capable. Give up.
ONE MONTH LATER
It feels so good.
Soma, how are you?
It's already been a month since we moved to this village.
It's the first time since we got married
that we're spending time as a married couple.
This is where Hokuto spent time with his mom
until he was four years old.
Hello.
Distant relatives,
villagers who remember Hokuto as a small boy,
everyone welcomed us warmly.
This is the head.
Thanks to you, the baby is steadily developing.
We're into DIY.
We're currently making a swing for our baby.
We wake up in the morning and make furniture,
have lunch together.
When he feels like it, Hokuto joins the other fishermen,
and we all have dinner and drinks together at our place.
After the guests leave,
we spend a relaxing time together in the garden, watching the stars.
Hokuto is always beside me.
I feel very relieved.
But, to be honest,
I'm a little anxious.
Hokuto is always kind and calm.
He seems different from the person I knew.
Bye.
We caught a lot of fish today.
There were a lot of small horse mackerels.
There's a lot of them around here.
But it's too small to put it out on the market.
Too bad, they're very good.
You used to own a big company, right?
Can you come up with a good business plan?
I'm not going back to Tokyo.
I like it here.
Yeah, but you will eventually need to find some work.
What are you going to do?
Yeah...
Why don't you open a store with your wife?
She's pretty, so your store might be popular.
That's a good idea.
LET'S REMEMBER HOW TO USE A BRUSH GIVING AN AGED PATINA FINISH
Hey.
You're going to throw this book away?
Yeah.
I don't need it anymore.
But you've had it since you were a student, right?
You've written something in it.
I don't need it.
Hokuto,
what's your plan now?
Hmm...
We should start thinking about work.
My friend advised me to open a store. That's not a bad idea, I guess.
Luckily we have enough money to open a small store.
A table and two bar seats.
We can cook some local fish and vegetables.
Am I going to cook?
You're good at that.
-I think that's a good idea. -Right?
Hey.
Wouldn't you want to start up a company
like you used to?
As a business consultant.
If I go back to that industry
I will eventually have to be in contact with the Mamiya Group.
All I want is to be with you.
Forget about that.
Hokuto,
you told me that you can live in a small part of the world
as long as I'm with you.
But I still think you're the type of person
who should aim for the top of the world.
So I have made up my mind.
DIVORCE PAPERS
What is this?
If our baby is a girl,
there's no problem.
But if it's a boy, it would cause a turmoil again.
So I've decided to remove my name from the Mamiya family.
In return, please give Hokuto another chance.
I want him to be the heir of this company again.
You're going to back out for that?
Yes.
It's in your blood.
Excuse me?
You have Yuko's blood in your veins.
Yuko was my distant relative.
For the sake of my future, she stepped away.
I understood that was her way of expressing love.
Oh.
The past is in the past.
What's important is the future.
If you're really that determined,
I'll try my best for Hokuto.
Thank you.
I have one more favor to ask before that.
What?
I want to know who it was
that tried to kill Hokuto.
I'm not asking you to disclose it to the public.
But your family knows about this.
I want you to disclose everything
and apologize to Hokuto.
And I want a written statement
that this won't happen again.
I'm sorry but I can't do that.
You should go home.
In that case, I'm going to go to a publisher
and tell them everything.
You're still not going to tell me?
Hokuto and I have nothing to lose now.
Saori.
Is Chiwa here?
She's upstairs.
What are you doing?
Chiwa, are you okay?
How did you know I was here?
Of course I'd know. I'm your husband.
MAMIYA CHIWA
Um... This...
I was going to ask a favor so that you can come back to the family.
And I wanted to know what really happened 30 years ago.
Listen.
I'm never going to let you go no matter what.
Remember that.
Okay.
Please forgive us, Hokuto.
I'm sorry.
It was all my wife's doing.
The recent incident and in the past.
Takayuki was supposed to be the heir of this company until you appeared!
This man never came back home because he was busy with work.
Takayuki was the only one who supported me.
Takayuki doesn't have the skills to be the heir anyway!
When Hokuto went to study abroad,
my father, Seiji and I discussed and decided
that Hokuto will eventually be the leader of this company.
Is that true?
You didn't tell me anything!
It's true.
I didn't tell you because I thought you or Masatsugu would disagree.
You're going to take Hokuto over our own son?
That's not true.
Takayuki can learn a lot from Hokuto.
But Takayuki
only thinks about himself.
Do you think such a person can be a leader?
And now you're doing such stupid things to Hokuto.
So I have been following you, just in case.
That's why
my dad saw Satoru around my place.
There are hundreds and thousands of employees
working for the Mamiya Group.
You're the only one
who can take responsibility for all those people.
Please.
Come back to the company.
I won't ask you to forgive my wife.
I will resign as a board member.
Please.
What are you doing?
What's going to happen with Takayuki?
He's in Ho Chi Minh alone.
Bring him back to Tokyo.
Shut up!
Stay silent!
You killed a person!
If you say anything further I'm going to take you to the police.
Just stay quiet.
Have you made a decision, Hokuto?
I'm going to respect your decision.
Please raise your head.
My dad knew everything.
And he decided to forgive you.
It was a difficult decision
as the leader of Mamiya.
He made the decision as the leader of the company
and held his feelings back.
After all that,
he tried to make me the heir of the company.
That's right.
Remember,
you must not be crushed by the family.
Utilize the family and grow bigger.
You can do it.
I would like to
accept that.
Saori,
I'll never forgive
what you did to my mother.
Can you promise
never to harm my wife or the baby?
Yes.
Please,
forgive Takayuki.
I'll consider bringing him back to Tokyo.
I'm sorry.
I was driving that day.
I saw you in front of the car. Your silhouette looked like Takayuki.
At that moment, I thought,
"I can't do such a thing to a child."
And I steered away.
And I ran over your mother who came running towards the car.
What do you want for dinner?
Kanitama.
Again?
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Wake up!
Mom!
Wake up!
Let's go home.
Mom!
I'm sorry, Chiwa.
I guess I have to come back here and compete with them again.
It's all right.
I'm with you.
It's fine.
I'll make sure the Mamiya Group recovers.
It will be a well-known global enterprise.
What's all this fuss about?
It's so noisy I can't even take a nap.
Aunt Reiko.
Too bad, everything is over now.
The show has ended. Case closed.
No.
We still have something to do.
Let's go.
Shall we go?
Sir, you've received a beautiful postcard.
How cute.
Come here.
Look.
She looks so happy.
I want to get married, too.
Congratulations!
Hokuto Mamiya New president of the Mamiya Group
She seems happy. I'm happy for her.
Let's be happy too.
Yeah. Midori, dear.
Yuji, dear.
