Pay attention, Angelica.
From here on, I'll be threatening you.
Tomboys like you are rare these days.
You secretly steal things and hide them in your house.
You wail at all hours, whenever it pleases you.
You defecate when and where you please,
and when asked not to, you become hysterical and start biting.
When a man catches your fancy,
you chase him with your tongue hanging out.
Your bad habits have filled your owner with grief.
- Isn't that right? - Quite so.
Change your manners, Angelica.
Or you'll get less treats,
You'll have shorter walks,
and your favorite toys will be taken away.
Are you listening, Angelica?
Father, mother, time went by so quickly.
Sevens years have passed since the accident.
Both of you will be quite surprised
after you hear my recent experiences.
His name is The Intimidator and he's got quite an odd job of threatening people.
We happened to work on a few cases together.
No, better not report that...
You were my mom's student?
Kunieda Yuuki
Yes, my name is Kunieda.
You know my mother's favorite flower.
Yes, she told me.
In the language of flowers, it means "passion".
Typical of her.
In junior high, I had a really bad temper.
I hated studying, and every day the boredom made me crazy.
Kunieda stop. Please stop!
When my mind wanders, I make too many.
It's an bad habit. Have one!
Rice cake, orange carnations,
historical dramas,
eggs, cats,
horror films, pro-wrestling, and
my daughter in primary school.
Those are my favorite thoughts.
What are your favorite things?
- I don't have any. - That's a waste.
You have a lot of extra energy Kunieda.
So, if you're mind is focused on something you like,
you can overcome anything.
So let's find something you like.
You can decide your own future.
Your mom spoke with such enthusiasm
that after graduating I expressed my passion for cars as a mechanic.
Occasionally, she'd drop by the factory and cheer me on.
I had no idea!
If only the accident hadn't happened.
Unforgivable.
That guy didn't even do time. He got off scot-free.
He didn't do time?
But the person responsible was caught and imprisoned.
He really is a horrible guy.
I have an important job tonight,
so I really wanted to pay respect to my teacher before that.
Mio-san!
What's up?
- You want to work with us again? - No way!
Threat Shop Hideout
- Is it just you here? - Yup.
Senkawa and Meguro are on a job.
I wanted to ask about a real crime.
He really is a horrible guy.
What Kunieda-san had said was worrying me after all.
I have a special favor to ask...
As I expected, threatening Angelica was difficult, even for me.
So why'd you take the job?
Because it's not nice to scold your pet, then have them hate you.
But I seem to be in luck.
I wonder if it's today's horoscope.
I've been finding lot's of good material.
I've seen your face somewhere...
Now I remember!
You're that university student who can only make rice cakes.
Don't tell me you've come begging to be let back in.
No, I didn't.
Then why are you here?
And why would I tell you?
I'll be leaving.
Tochiotome, why did she come here?
I'm not telling...
You've known me longer than her.
Gotta a people problem?
Probably how Aneglica feels.
The next day
Where's my car?
Car towed for illegal parking. - Yokohama Police
Today is Wednesday, so the trash needs to be thrown out.
Is this flammable waste?
Aluminium foil's flammable, right?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Can I take your trash out too?
No, no I won't let others carry my dirty trash.
- Relax, it's OK. - No, no that's...
Excuse me.
Kanesaka Mio-san?
Yokohama Police.
Police?
It's so hot.
Yokohama Train Station
No wonder this morning's horoscope was so negative.
This way.
From now on, I will threaten you.
Subtitles by mahfuza19
What?! Mio-san was arrested?
- Is it because of us? - Tochiotome...
Episode 4
What'd she say yesterday?
I won't tell you.
Mio-san is relying on me.
Does it have something to do with the police?
You've come here voluntarily, and your cooperation is appreciated.
Did they find out about my work for The Intimidator?
Or could it be about the favor I asked Tochiotome?
I wanted to inquire about your relationship to someone.
Kunieda Yuuki.
Kunieda Yuuki-san?
I met him for the first time yesterday.
Has he done something?
He attacked a man last night.
Kunieda-san?
The victim was Soejima Kuniaki. Have you heard this name before?
Soejima-san?
This is the first time I'm hearing it.
Seven years ago, a university student ran a red light and hit your parent's car.
Soejima Kuniaki owned the car that killed your parents. He was also a passenger that night.
Mio's grandfather definitely has police contacts.
But she wants nothing to do with him,
so she's left the documents in our hands.
Her father died instantly, and her mother died later at the hospital.
Losing both her parents at once,
poor Mio.
Soejima Kuniaki had no idea who Kunieda was.
But when Kunieda was running away,
he said, "I'll definitely kill you next time."
Sorry to disturb.
Someone has come to pick you up. You're free to leave.
Nitobe-san. Did that person ask you to pick me up?
I asked your grandfather.
He's worried about you.
It's been a while Mio.
You asked Nitobe-san to bring me here.
Apparently he went to the police to ask about you of his own accord.
He went to such lengths?
It's better not to have contact with people like Kunieda-san.
Leave the police to me.
Kunieda-san was my mother's student.
I won't neglect him.
Don't stick your nose in this!
Even if you were to pity him, it wouldn't be enough for you.
I'm not listening to someone who won't even visit his daughter's grave on the anniversary of her death.
I'm leaving now.
And please don't send money or letters ever again.
I can't understand people like you.
Hello...
I wonder if Mio-san is OK?
Police questionings can take a toll on young girls.
Suddenly losing her parents in an accident, then cutting off all ties with her grandfather.
She must feel so lonely.
If you're so worried about her, go and see how she's doing.
I want to, but I have a programming deadline.
Starting today I have a special soup stock class.
Why me?
It makes it seem like she's part of our group.
Senkawa Kanji.
Even though you're good looking, you let it go to waste,
since you're seriously unpopular with women, right?
Isn't that right?
Is it?
Where the hell is she?
Do you have some kind of business with Mio-san?
Yeah, but it's no big deal.
She said you're not her boyfriend...
are you her stalker?
You're the guy that's been following her.
Kyoda-san?
You're here too?
What did the police want?
- I was worried. - I'm sorry.
My neighbor Kyoda-san.
You're councillor Nitobe-san, right?
Mio-san, You know such an amazing person.
- Hello, are you a university student? - I'm political science major.
I support your policies.
Thank you very much.
- And you are... - I'm
Just an acquaintance. He's nobody.
Well then,
I need to meet your grandfather.
Goodbye.
Sorry to worry you, everything's fine.
If you need something, call me.
- What're you doing here? - I didn't want to come.
The others were busy, they begged me to look in on you, so I came here specially.
So you didn't tell the police about us, did you?
No. Not a word.
Then about what?
An acquaintance of mine was involved in an incident.
Incident?
You want to search for a guy called Kunieda Yuuki?
Why are you looking for him?
I want Kunieda-san himself to tell me why he attacked Soejima.
He hated him, so he lashed out.
It seems he even hates the car that caused the accident.
He definitely wants revenge.
If it's revenge, why's he waited so long? Of course it's wrong, but...
What if Soejima was driving the car seven years ago?
Soejima could have been drunk and that's what caused the collision.
According to the report,
Onishi Takashi was the driver, right?
Yes.
Onishi was released from prison three years ago and landed a great job in a good company.
It's called "SJ Material".
SJ Material?
Soejima's father runs the company and Soejima is an employee.
Onishi was promoted and is currently working at the Singapore branch.
It was the reward for taking the rap for Soejima.
Recently, Kunieda somehow found out Soejima was the actual driver.
That's why he wants to kill Soejima.
So he's taking revenge on behalf of Mio's mom.
Who was driving and revenge are just speculation.
First, let's look for Kunieda-san and
We don't look for people. We're not detectives.
But I do have one suggestion.
You can ask us to threaten Soejima.
Threaten Soejima?
Soejima seems to be wealthy with deep pockets.
I don't want his money.
But can you find Kunieda on your own?
I'll go meet this Soejima person.
And you'll introduce yourself as the victim's daughter?
Let's just confirm whether the story is true or not.
And if it is true,
I will persuade him to turn himself in.
Turn himself in?
A good natured person like you, ignorant of the ways of the world?
You think you can handle that?
Leave it to me.
You're still trying to turn this into a job.
It's nothing new but
I was a fool to have asked you.
Goodbye.
She wants to reason with a guy who might have killed her parents...
"A good natured girl, ignorant of the way of this world."
Are we going to neglect her?
Soejima's here. How's Mio doing?
She's OK. If things go sideways, I'll jump in.
Soejima Kuniaki
You contacted me about Kunieda-san?
Yes, I have something to ask you.
Are you Kunieda's girlfriend?
No, I'm a sort of acquaintance.
Isn't he an auto mechanic?
Isn't he a loser, jealous of rich people?
Shall we settle this privately?
Didn't Kunieda-san target you because of the car accident?
If that's the case, then you should...
The guy who stole my car caused the accident.
A foreigner.
- A foreigner? - I was car-jacked.
Bcause it was a hit and run, I was a suspect.
Hit and run? What on earth are you talking about?
What accident are you talking about?
Excuse me, please move your car.
Sorry.
So what did you want to talk to me about?
I should go.
Kanesaka Yohei, and Kanesaka Nanami.
Do those names ring a bell?
Kanesaka? Who are they?
Seven years ago, your car crashed into theirs and killed them.
They were my parents.
Kunieda-san was a student of my mother.
Was it you driving the car that night?
I'm wrong, aren't I? Kunieda-san was mistaken, right?
Ah, that accident?
It was me. I was driving.
I just bought that car. I was drunk and hit another car.
Unfortunately, your parents were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It was you?
Got you.
Just now, you believed me, didn't you?
Well, even if I did do it, there's no evidence.
Besides, the criminal has already been found guilty and punished.
You should pay for your crimes.
Please turn yourself in.
And what's your plan?
You want to complain about what happened seven years ago?
I can send you to meet your parents.
Who's that?
Hello. I'm an acquaintance known as The Intimidator.
The Intimidator?
Quite a gem you've got there.
Apparently you even brought your friend to threaten me, right?
No, I'm here on official business.
Soejima Kuniaki-san, would you like me to threaten Kunieda Yuuki?
Hang on a minute please!
Kunieda has the intention of killing you.
If you sign up now, I'll give you a good deal.
- What the hell?! - I don't need it.
I have my own people for these matters.
For the coffee.
Please stop soliciting jobs!
Let's go. You might find the person you wanted to meet.
Wait!
Where did Meguro go?
Look, we found him!
Kunieda-san?
If we kept an eye on Soejima long enough, I had a feeling Kunieda would reappear.
Aren't you going to stop him?
Kunieda-san!
Watch out!
What's going on?
Soejima is the devil incarnate, isn't he?
I found out he was involved in a hit and run.
The victim was a 60 year old man.
Soejimi ran a red light, hit the old man,
and took off.
Nearby security cameras confirmed that
it was Soejima's car from the license plate.
But Soejima claimed his car was stolen before the accident.
The security cameras supported Soejima's alibi.
The guy behind the wheel isn't Soejima.
He doesn't look Japanese.
Soejima's car was abandoned far from the scene of the accident.
So Soejima wasn't driving?
You think he's a good person?
He hired a cleaner to fix things.
A "cleaner"?
Soejima said, "I have my own people for these matters."
It's possible that he hired a cleaner to cover up the hit and run.
What's a cleaner?
Support staff for hitmen and spies.
Cleaners are pros who quickly and discretely dispose of anything from household appliances to dead bodies.
Kunieda attacked Soejima because maybe he knew about the hit and run.
So what are you going to do? Threaten him?
Of course!
I'll threaten him with the hit and run from last month and from seven years ago.
Please don't! It's wrong to-
You want to try persuading him again?
You saw how that went.
You have no say in this.
It's a matter to be solved by the samurai's code. Please step back.
But intimidation is a crime.
Then why didn't you stop Kunieda right away?
Did you secretly want him to kill Soejima?
Always do the right thing.
Be gentle, and help people in need.
Doing the "right thing" and being a "kind person".
Those were my mother's dying wishes for me.
That's why I don't want to hate anyone.
Your mother's wishes,
Those wishes...
are a curse.
Always "do the right thing"? "Be kind"?
Isn't it natural to be angry, or feel you can't forgive someone?
You're just suppressing your emotions.
A guy that takes a precious person's life can't be forgiven just like that.
What are your real feelings?
From my perspective,
your keeping yourself in a state of denial.
In other words, a cursed princess raised by a witch.
It's unhealthy!
Senkawa Kanji!
It's unimaginable, that a greedy money grubber like you would ever understand -
That's why!
I've lived my whole life, denying myself.
The opinion of an ordinary acquaintance carries no meaning for me at all.
Listern, Mio.
If your dad and I happen to be far away,
and no one's here to make oden stew for you,
don't ever blame anyone.
Don't be angry, just forgive.
You can do that, right Mio?
"A cursed princess bought up by a witch?"
"It's unhealthy!"
"I've lived my whole life denying myself."
"A witch's curse"?
Senkawa-san's words are piercing me like thorns.
Your udon noodles taste ordinary but are quite springy! Were they handmade?
The secret is fermenting them overnight.
You should've said you were making udon.
I just bought this.
I didn't make any for you.
You said such horrible things to Mio-san.
What about Soejima? What are you gonna do?
We need evidence against him.
We'll talk to the cleaners and make that the evidence.
Do you know any cleaners?
Cleaners work from the shadows.
Why don't we ask Taka from Yokosuka?
His wife's expecting, so he's cleaned up his act.
Tooru would know.
Missing.
I heard he effed up, and got himself iced.
Why not ask someone who uses cleaners?
A customer?
Why not?
But need something to hang over them...
Got it!
Proper grooming is quite important,
especially if you're a gang leader.
Intimidator...
I'm wondering if you could introduce me to a well informed cleaner.
What do I get in trade?
An end to your women troubles.
The blonde Ukrainian.
She's my woman, but there's no trouble.
There is with your other girl, Angelica.
I got this from the Ukrainian.
If this gets out,
your gang will see you in a different light.
When ever they think of you,
They'll remember those images...
Angelica...
All done.
A store in Chinatown,"Small Wolf"...
They specialize in cleaning.
Tell 'em I sent you.
5 million to clean up the accident?
As we expected, Soejima hired these guys to clean up the hit and run.
As insurance, the cleaners took photos with Soejima.
- Is that the Orvis guy? - Yeah.
His boss should be well connected.
OK! With this, we can threaten Soejima!
Are you really going to threaten Soejima?
When did we start doing that without a client to pay us?
Mio san won't pay us to do this.
We do have a client...
I don't have the courage to meet Soejima-san again.
nor a chance to speak with Kunieda-san.
Is this what it feels like to be the living dead?
Right, Mio?
I wasn't listening.
Again? I said we should go to this movie.
It's about a princess with no family,
and a witch turns her into a zombie!
A witch's curse...
Yes! And she must find love before
the flower petals start falling, or she'll be a zombie forever!
A zombie forever...
There's a ton of movies I want to see,
but I'm just too busy these days.
Do you feel sorry for the Zombies?
If it's hard to understand, we can watch it twice.
- That's OK, you two have fun. - Are you sure?
- Yeah. - OK, see you.
You are...
Ciao.
Blue Dragon Bar
Sorry, to disturb your work.
That Mio-san woman has too many scruples.
In a place like this, you can torture people as much as you like.
No good comes from violence.
You can't survive in this dark world with such sweet talk.
I'm going shopping.
Please don't break anything.
So, why'd you want to meet Mio?
I wanted to ask why she met Soejima.
Like an idiot, she was asking him to turn himself in.
Confessing is the last thing on that guy's mind.
I know.
He pretends to be a good person and walks around all high and mighty.
Are you soejima's friend?
What are you going to do to me?
Kunieda-san, is there anyone you'd like us to intimidate?
It would be money well spent.
I could even fulfill your wish...
and kill Soejima.
Soejima, aren't you drinking a little too much to drive home safely?
It'll be dangerous if you get caught, right?
I can afford to clean up any problem...
Another round! Bring the bottle!
You're under arrest.
Don't drink and drive.
It's "don't drive if you're going to drink".
Mio-san, please come in.
Senkawa-san,
Why'd you ask me to rush over?
Kunieda san asked me to intimidate someone.
I thought it'd be better if you were a witness.
Soejima Kuniaki,
From now, I will threaten you.
Admit that the hit and run seven years ago that killed Mio's parents,
and the hit and run from last month...
were both your doing.
I'd be a fool to confess all that.
What?! You're a fool if you don't admit it!
What proof is there that I did it? Where's the evidence?
You hired cleaners to cover your tracks last month.
Seven years ago, you hired the same cleaners, didn't you?
You have a lot of friends in the underworld.
How much?
This is just about a payday?!
Do you have enough money?!
I haven't forgotten the accident you threw money at seven years ago!
I believed Onishi was guilty and in prison for killing Professor Nanami.
But by chance you brought your car into my shop for repairs.
Thanks for cleaning up.
Of course my father is relying on you.
The police?
If you mean the hit and run seven years ago,
Onishi will keep his mouth shut.
My dad gave him an overseas promotion and a mountain of cash.
Onishi?
You murdered Professor Nanami,
but you have no remorse.
Then, this new hit and run,
I made up my mind,
For my professor's sake, to kill you.
Which means,
Kunieda-san doesn't want Soejima to pay with money.
He wants him to pay
with his life.
I can't see any signs of regret.
If I kill you right now-
Stop fooling around!
Don't play with me!
Tochiotome.
Here.
Drink this, try to calm down.
Here.
Wine?
What a waste. It was a nice one, you know.
Can't be helped.
How about directly in your bloodstream?
Right!
You'll be glad to know that this expensive wine is going inside you.
Your blood/alcohol level will be above the legal limit, and you'll die while driving.
Don't worry, we'll clean up the mess.
We'll make it look like an accident.
We'll hire a cleaner.
Wait.
Please stop!
I see.
I have no regrets.
You wanna do it yourself?
As soon as you discovered he killed your parents,
you wanted to clear away those obstructive thoughts, right?
"That guy's scum and deserves to die."
Your thoughts, right?
Be honest with yourself.
Kanesaka Mio.
I didn't think I could forgive him.
I thought, 'Why did my mom and dad have to die?"
But I made a promise to my mother.
She told me to never hold a grudge.
And yet,
I hate knowing that this guy,
killed my parents.
And,
I also hate myself for feeling this way.
If Soejima-san died in the accident,
it might be easier for me, I don't know.
It would be easier,
which is why you should kill him.
Still,
if this person dies,
I won't get my parents back.
I hate it.
I can't forgive him.
But,
I don't think I want him to die.
One life can't pay for another life!
Why won't you kill him!?
If you won't, I will...
For Professor Nanami's sake, I'll-
Kunieda-san! Kunieda-san!
You can choose your own future!
You can choose your own future.
Please, don't make the wrong choice.
Rice cakes, orange carnations,
historical dramas, egg dishes, cats, horror movies, pro wrestling...
You, just like me,
know my mother's favorite things.
From now on, I would like to share memories with you.
I want to hear lots and lots
of memories that you and my mother shared.
Soejima Kuniaki, I'll threaten you one last time.
Confess your crimes,
otherwise, you'll die making up for them.
Atone for you crimes.
And,
don't ever forget,
my mother and father in this lifetime.
I have no choice but to confess.
Soejima Kuniaki came in and confessed to
last month's accident and the hit and run from 7 years ago.
Did you change his mind?
Why did he come clean?
Do you want us to intimidate him for you?
Just as you like,
I can kill Soejima for you.
Just in a social way though.
Let's let your professor's daughter, Mio settle it.
This room gets lots of sunshine.
It's because the sunset is beautiful.
I'm sorry I broke my promise.
Thank you for helping Kunieda-san.
You're not mad at me?
Why should I be, Mio?
I love you so much.
You have friends that help you, right?
Just tell them one thing, OK?
That I'm not a witch.
I made this stew with a focus on the fish stock.
Help yourself.
What's this?
- From Mio? - Yeah.
What?
Senkawa,
Kanesaka
Thank you very much
Thank you again for your help.
My mother asks please stop calling her a "witch".
An unknown young lady?
She's saying thank you for looking after her.
Really? Did you specifically make the threat part of our job for Mio's sake?
No! I did nothing for that useless woman.
I did it for Kunieda. Period.
A fish cake!
We're not Mio san, so we won't interfere.
That's not fish cake. Was it radish?
Where's the radish, radish, man?
It's in there.
Only one egg!
What the hell? It was an accident.
Even though the fish stock tastes quite plain,
Caller ID Blocked
it's OK.
Caller ID Blocked
That's not true.
Yes, hello?
I was about to laugh when I said I would support your policies.
So as planned, are we going to take out
our target at that event?
Yes, please proceed as planned.
Yes.
- Kyoda-san? - My parents sent me too many apples again.
- Wow! - It's heavy, can I bring it in?
Just a moment please.
Thank you very much for using my service.
So,
what kind of threats would you like me to make?
