Thank you so much. I've always wanted shoes.
I'm glad.
-I'll help you with that. -No, it's ok.
['Ayako-nesan (Sis)']
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Before blowing the candles, don't forget to make a wish.
Yes.
Happy birthday.
Take-san.
I hope I didn't force you to be here.
Oh, it's nothing to worry about. Eat your cake now.
Alright.
-What? -Nothing. Just wondering why you're late.
I also occassionally go out with a co-worker. Have to mingle sometimes.
Oh, is that so? Uh, is it a man? Or a woman?
A man.
What about it?
Uh, you know...
What is it?
-Uh, never mind. -Make up your mind before you ask.
-Sorry for waiting. -Thanks!
Here you go.
Eh? Katsu-san, you bought your boxed lunch from a convenience store today?
My wife is still in the hospital.
You're probably looking forward to bringing the baby home, huh?
Yeah, I can't wait to see his face everyday.
Oh, wanna see the pictures?
Akari-chan, do you want to go eat out later today?
I already told you. How many times you ask me out, I'll still say no.
-I'll still invite you. -Here, look at him.
His face looks like he's in a great deal of a good mood here.
But this one has a peaceful face.
It all looks the same to me.
-Yeah. -Huh?
You can't tell? There's subtle changes in each of his expressions.
-May I see? -Come come come.
-See if you can tell. -Oh, so cute!
Isn't he?
-This one please. -This?
Hey, come here and see these... It's super cute.
Cute!
How about you Yamaga-san, you don't have children yet?
Eh? Uh, not yet.
I bet you want to have one, don't you?
Yeah, you're right.
-Seiji, put those tora ropes over there. -Yes.
Seiji, tuck in the hem of your pants.
'Kay.
I don't get it.
It's one of the safety rules that you have to comply with.
I mean, why a married man, that's what I don't get.
Why bring that up so suddenly?
Nothing.
I told you I didn't have an affair with Yamaga-san.
-How about now? -Absolutely not even now.
I just don't understand it.
What are you saying, Seiji? If you have something to say, say it.
One should properly think about the feelings of the family.
Huh? What're you talking about? I don't get you.
-Thanks for the hard work! -Good job.
Yeah, good work!
Seiji, you want some coffee?
Uh, Shokucho.
Do you like young women?
I don't just like em, I love em.
Hmm...
Your dad has a young woman, eh? I envy him.
Please, don't joke about this.
I'm thinking of dyeing my hair blonde, what do you think?
Pardon?
As it is, I only go to work and come home...
But if this is how my life is gonna end, then it makes sense to do what I want...
You don't understand it now but you will when you reach my age.
So with that you want to dye your hair blonde?
Well I also wish I could have a young woman for myself.
No, Shokucho!
You see, your dad...
has been struggling to make ends meet
for all of his life and now he's reached his middle-aged years...
And yet you don't see that.
When I told my daughter that I still like younger women...
she'd say things like 'Are you dumb? You're just flattering yourself.'
I don't see myself as attractive anymore.
Maybe it's the same thing with your dad.
No.
I can't forgive for what he did.
My dad let my mom drink some wine...
endangering her life and she almost died.
For that, I can't forgive him.
Excuse me.
-Hello. -Hello, please sit.
-You came alone? -Yes.
Doctor, I just wanted to ask you something.
Sure, go ahead.
Do you think my wife's illness...
...will be cured if we move to a new house?
It can...
if you can provide her a change of environment.
You came for me?
Yes.
Sleep some more.
Alright.
-Oh, hey. Where's the hand cream? -Hand cream?
-For Sumiko. -Why?
I'll bring it to the hospital tomorrow.
Where is it?
-Never mind, you don't have to bother. -What?
You don't have to do such a thing.
Why not?
Anyway, why did you decide to do such a thing all of a sudden?
-What the heck is with you? -Because I get it now.
-You don't want me to go? -No, why are you listening now?
That's enough. You're so annoying.
Are you feeling guilty or something?
Guilty?
-You ask yourself that. -What on earth are you saying?
-Nothing. -If you have something to say...
...say it clearly! -I told you it's nothing!
Did something bad happen at your part-time job?
Are you upset you couldn't find a job so you take it out on me?
You're always like that. If you have something to ask, you can't say it clearly!
That's why you're no good!
Fine, I'll say it.
-Who is that woman? -Woman?
You bought her shoes and cake...
How did you know that?
-Who is she? -You don't have to know.
Is she the reason why you don't want us to move?
You don't want to pay for the moving costs...
but you're willing to spend for a woman like that.
I saw you that's why I know.
'A woman like that?'
Yeah, that kind of woman.
It's none of your concern.
Don't you feel sorry for mom?
Say something.
You scold and talk harshly to me and act so self-righteous.
What's that about?
Why are you like that?
If you're not gonna answer, you don't have the right to be here...
Get out of this house.
Fine.
I want to talk about Manami moving to the design department.
Well, if that's what Chiba wants, then I hope it'll be for the best.
She'll be under my supervision, I know she could do it.
You are aware of her feelings, right?
She doesn't see you as just her senior.
There's more to her feelings.
We will continue to treat each other as colleagues.
No, I don't think so...
If Chiba confesses to you, would you turn her down?
Manami is not that type who would say a such thing to a man.
But I'll still say it.
That Chiba may be an employee of Kishima Construction...
but she spent more time working with us, you know.
I don't want you to hurt her feelings.
But even so, that accident has scarred her.
She may get hurt at work...
or caused injuries to a man, she pretends she's alright...
I can't stand watching Chiba like that.
I understand.
Mmm.
-Mmm. -Do you really..
...always come here alone? -Yeah.
I think I have always
been envious of you, Chiba-san...
But not so much anymore.
Like me, you also go and binge on sweets when you're feeling lonely.
Eh? So you see me...
as a really lonely woman?
Yup, you are so.
Says the girl who had her heart broken.
But at least I had no regrets.
You're just sour-graping.
An adulterous woman shouldn't say such a thing.
Adulterous woman? I didn't have an affair...
A woman who had been duped shouldn't say such a thing.
At least, being duped has made me feel clear-headed...
...unlike some people who can't even have an affair.
No no no. Adultery is not a good thing, right?
-But you really want to do it. -Yamaga-san is not that type of man.
Oh, please, I'm sure there's some hanky-panky going on there.
-There's no hanky-panky. -Yes, there is!
No there isn't.
Even if there's something that should be said, one cannot easily express one's feelings
That's why in a family, feelings are not easily expressed.

::Episode 6:: "Don't do anything to hurt mom"
What's the matter, you seem tired.
-Do I look tired? -Yeah, pretty much.
Well, it's just a bit of mental fatigue.
-You have mental fatigue? -Eh?
No, it's just that I get to be surrounded by lots of tiresome people...
...so I also get tired from that.
Really?
Young people nowdays don't try enough socializing with other people....
They think building a relationship is too troublesome...
and the ability to communicate deteriorates fast.
Well about the people around me...
there's this guy who almost killed his wife and she had to be taken to the hospital...
and that guy still had the guts
to go and see this younger woman...
There's this housewife who has been bullying her neighbor for more than 10 years...
causing this lady to have depression...
There's this lawyer who seems to have a great personality but is actually a disgusting guy...
and there's this man who works at an employment agency...
who likes to scoff at people who are seriously looking for a job...
Why do I have to be surrounded by...
by these kinds of people?
-Good job. -Good job.
Akari-chan, let's go out and grab something to eat?
Why...? Why do you want to go out with me?
I don't know why.
I didn't realize it, but you're always...
catching my eye. Before it hit me...
I realized that I like you.
I guess it just happened.
Really?
Wait a sec. I do want you to like me...
I don't know how I could make you like me...
but if there's nothing about me that could make you fall for me...
then will that be impossible to happen?
Are you going to give up on me?
I won't give up!
But it may never happen...
I will never give up.
I didn't really mean it.
I don't think you'd seriously commit adultery.
I'm really sorry.
You're forgiven.
-Yummy. -Yeah.
Do you eat the peel?
Are you still mad at me?
The truth is...
I envy those who can have an affair.
Before, I always repress my feelings
so as to prevent any trouble.
But the truth is I don't like it.
I see.
But... but you do believe that adultery is bad, right?
-Yes. -Okay.
-You don't eat the skin? -Eh? No I don't.
If you eat it with the peel...
...you won't have gases in your stomach.
But just don't eat the burnt parts.
Why is that...
seems like... the skin doesn't even have any taste at all.
That's because you're only eating the skin.
Shut up. Leave me alone.
This is how I like to eat sweet potatoes.
Have you been eating properly?
We're eating just fine.
-How about the laundry? -Yes, don't worry about it.
But no one is doing the ironing.
...what about your dad's handkerchiefs. -They're all fine.
They don't need to be ironed...
... it's no big deal. -But.
I'll iron them properly. Don't worry.
Thank you.
There you go.
Is your father coming today?
Oh, maybe...
but I brought the hand cream today...
because he told me to.
-Oh, hello. -Hello.
-Doctor...
...when can I be discharged? -About that...
If there are no problems this weekend, you can go home early next week.
That's good, mom.
-Uh, you know... -What?
I think that when my mom is discharged, it'll be bad if she finds out that dad is not at home.
-What? -Uh, dad has left the house.
What?
How can dad have a woman? It's impossible. Not a chance.
If she's after his money, then it's possible.
It's seems likely. Well, then, it is possible.
No, but he couldn't have given her just small amounts of money, it's unlikely...
It's too crazy, it's impossible.
He could've paid her a great deal of money.
How pathetic!
So when Dad said he doesn't want to pay
for the moving costs, it's because of that?
...Because he's paying for that woman? -Yeah, it makes sense now.
He's really the worst, isn't he?
He's really a crappy dad.
What're you planning?
Let's go there this Sunday.
Eh? We're going to that woman's place?
Of course, we should.
Why does it seem like you're excited to find out?
There's nothing exciting about this.
Well, somehow you seem excited.
You can't just freely creep inside my property.
Excuse me, ma'am.
If you're a salesman, I'm not interested.
I see.
Well, I can predict your fortune based on...
...your full name alone. -No thank you.
I'm very accurate.
...Please try me. -Don't trouble yourself.
How is your relationship with your child?
Eh?
You still want some tea?
-Uh, yes, thanks. -Okay.
-Alright, let's go back to work. -Yes!
-What is it? -Nothing.
Maybe you'd like to go eat out with me later today?
I told you I don't like!
I see.
The thing that happened between Akari and that lawyer guy...
...seems she's moving on quite well.
Seems so.
Say, Kazuhiko, maybe you'd eat dinner with me once in a while.
You just come here to pick up your stuff all the time.
You should be thankful I even show up here...
Frankly, I prefer to live alone and away from here.
Hey, wait wait... Hold on.
...Maybe this isn't a good idea. -What is it now?
It's just that if we're going to force dad...
Maybe he won't want to come back home anymore...
If this issue remains unclear, then it's bad, too, right?
We shouldn't allow it at all.
For the sake of mom, let's settle this matter once and for all.
C'mon... Let's go.
Gheez.
"Who is it?"
My name is Nagata.
Nagata-san who?
I'm the daughter of Take.
We came to talk about our father.
Come in.
Sorry, I don't have cushions.
[Note: Accounting books]
-Good work. -Oh, Manami, what're you doing here?
I was just working on some overdue work.
-How about you? -Oh, I left something here...
so I came to pick up some blueprints.
I see.
Have you made up your mind about transferring to the Design department?
Going into Design is the reason why you entered the company right?
Yes.
Well, don't take long with your decision.
If you miss this chance,
I'm not sure if you'll have the same chance again.
Are you seeing our dad?
Did you come here to ask me that?
Isn't he staying here with you?
Pardon?
So, where is he?
I don't know.
Uhm, didn't Take-san come home?
My mother was hospitalized.
She tried to slash her wrists.
Please try to end your association with him.
I think Take-san also plans on that.
Before, I was depending on his kindness...
I am truly sorry.
I don't mean to be rude but I want to say this to the both of you that...
he only treats me like a daughter, he was good and kind to me.
-Like a daughter? -Yes.
You're saying that your relationship with our dad is wholesome?
So you mean, you're not seeing him?
My goal is to be a Certified Public Accountant.
He had been helping me with the tuition fees...
and had been teaching me accounting.
What do you give him in return?
-Nothing. -He doesn't give anything...
other than financial assistance...
and gets nothing in return?
That doesn't sound like him.
Go ahead please.
Excuse me.
Who is it?
It's Take.
Oh, we better hide.
-On the balcony. -Eh, you sure?
Get our shoes. Shoes shoes.
-Sorry for showing up suddenly. -Oh, it's alright.
Have you eaten lunch yet?
Not yet.
Would you like to eat with me?
Uh, thanks.
Is this a bad time?
No.
Come on in.
Sorry to disturb you.
Cable-stayed bridges have a tendency to be weakened by the winds and to overcome it...
we made a model with a ratio of 1/50 scale...
and have it tested many times in a wind tunnel test.
When external wings for the railings of the walkway edges...
plus the columns were provided, we found out that less vibrations seem to occur.
The FEM analyis should mesh with
each of the parts, and so we calculated them carefully.
We ordered...
ten volumes of corrugated cardboard for it.
And we would think about each of the parts needed...
that would eventually form the complete structure.
For engineers, this is the best part that we enjoy the most.
Manami, what's wrong?
I knew it... I can't work under you.
Wait, why can't you...?
It's because I like you.
I tried so much to stop myself from feeling this way.
And just try to respect you as my senior.
It's supposed to be just that.
I tried so hard for so long.
But nothing has worked.
I can't let this go on any further.
Manami.
I can't return your feelings.
I'm still glad though.
I'm glad that I've got this out of my system.
If you'll excuse me, I'll be going ahead.
Good work.
This is pretty good sushi, isn't it?
-Take-san. -Hmm?
Do you remember the first thing you said to me?
Of course.
Uh, you'd be able to do it faster if you use the market value method,
Sorry for saying unnecessary things.
Can you please show me how?
So far, thank you for everything.
But maybe it's best if we end this already.
Actually I was going to wait until you pass the test.
No need. Thanks to you, I wouldn't be able to quit my part-time work
and I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my studies.
Without you, there's no way, I would be able to pass the exam.
I also wish to thank you.
But... I didn't do anything.
I mean, for relying on me.
Eh?
I may be the manager of the accounting department...
I get to check the documents prepared by my subordinates.
All I do is to check on them.
That's all I do because I cannot prepare them myself.
Because I have difficulty using the computer.
For that reason, my subordinates look down on me.
They don't really rely on me for anything else.
I have a nice wife at home.
But right now, she's suffering from depression.
It's because she had been bullied by a neighbor for more than 10 years.
In order for us not to be worried about it...
she didn't tell us anything about it.
I wished she'd told me about it...
and relied on me more.
My daughter acts aggressively...
and talks back at me about anything.
She would call me 'the worst person.'
We don't get along.
But even if we don't get along, we still communicate.
I am glad actually.
She got married 7 years ago, and has moved out of the house.
I also don't get along with my son.
As soon as we open our mouths, we fight.
He totally rejects me as his dad.
I do know why though.
I have also done the same to him...
refusing to acknowledge him, too.
I know I should've given him
more respect and pay more attention to him...
but I wasn't able to.
And then you came and relied on me...
you make me feel needed so for that... I am very happy.
Thank you.
Yeah?
Did Dad come back already?
Not yet.
"Where could he be?"
I don't know.
It's just because of his pride that he left home like that...
doesn't think of the circumstances, I think it's so uncool of him to do that.
I don't understand why he just doesn't come home now.
What would you say to him now that we understand him a bit more?
-Eh? -I mean...
I wonder what he's doing now.
I wonder as to how much he's going to keep at this.
Once something happens... call me here right away.
I want to talk to him, too.
Bye.
What?
Uh, you know...
What?
Tomorrow, mom will be coming home from the hospital.
If she arrives here and finds out you're not here...
she'll be worried.
That's all.
Even if there's something that should be said, one cannot easily express one's feelings...
That's why in a family, feelings are not easily expressed.
Hey. I've decided to come home.
And I have left that woman.
She was crying and begging me not to.
You did good.
What?
I'm surprised... you did good, dad.
Oh, well.
Akari-chan, would you go out and eat with me later today?
Uh, maybe tomorrow if it's okay with you.
As long as it's good omelette rice.
Ah, I see... Eh?
If it's not fluffy, I don't like it. And also I like pudding.
Fluffy.
-You heard that? It has to be flufy. -I heard it.
And pudding, too.
-I heard it. -I did it!
It has to be a nice pudding.
I always eat pudding after meals, too...
-Alright. Let's do our best today. -Yes!
-Let's go. -Let's work hard today.
Are you gonna be excited all day? Focus on your work.
-Sorry. -Good morning.
-Good morning.
Good morning.
Here.
Okay.
Mom, let's go.
I knew it.
Your relationship with your son is not going well.
It's because of your personal seal.
If you don't get a new one...
I believe your relationship with him will never be fixed.
It'll cost about 300,000 yen.
300,000?
To avert further misfortune, it will cost you 300,000 yen.
It's only cheap, isn't it?
"Yes, this is Oetsu Company."
Akari-chan, this is Seiji.
-"Seiji-san." -What's wrong?
-"What happened, Akari-chan?" -Alright, let's go.
"I don't know if he'll be alright."
What?
"There was an accident..."
"He was standing in the storage area when some iron pipes broke loose and fell..."
"Teppei-san was pinned down underneath it."
Teppei. Teppei, hang in there... Teppei!
Toyokawa-san, Toyokawa-san, can you hear me?
He's losing consciousness.. check his vitals.
Teppei, hang in there. Teppei!
