Good day, everyone~!
I am Hasebe Takafumi of the Party that Helps the Common Man.
In the event that I get elected in this year's general elections...
...I will fulfill three vows!
What is that? ..."A party that helps the common man"?
(Murata Masako)
Hey.
- Why don't we launch our own party? - We make one?
You want?
Ouch!
- What's happening? - What is that?
Could it be KimuTaku* is coming? (*Kimura Takuya)
Really? Let's go. Let's go, Macchan.
- A location shooting. - Huh? Where is it?
Where is it... Eh?!
Call the police.
Hey, you. Stop that!
Sumire! Sumire! Sumire!
Hey! Let her go!
You're a man and yet you take a child as a hostage, shame on you!
If you're going to kill, kill me.
If you're going to kill...
...kill me.
Get back. Get back.
Stop it!
If you're going to kill, kill me...
Move aside!
Sumire!
Don't kill him!
P-Police!
Is he dead? Is he dead?
I didn't look. I didn't look. I'm too scared.
- Huh? Hey, where's that girl? - Huh?
- Where's that girl? - Huh?
- Where did she go? - It's all right!
- Huh? - Do not worry.
I am with you.
The Party That Helps the Common Man is with you!
You didn't do anything to help!
Thank you again for your guidance today.
Just passing through this shortcut.
~Break away, take me with you~
~Follow me...~ Oh, hey. What's the matter?
Huh? Aren't you that girl a while ago?
Hey. Are you all right?
Are you... Oww! Oww!
Why would you do that to an old person...
That hurts. What's wrong? Huh? Are you all right?
My goodness. Please don't call for every little thing.
I'm a busy man after all.
Make her eat something delicious.
Yes. I will.
What happened to you... A young lady going around on an empty stomach.
And wearing rags, too. Really unbecoming. Never seen anything so dirty.
Hey, I'll change your clothes. Okay?
What is this X mark?
You're gonna kill me? After saving a child, why would you do that?
It was the rice. The rice is done.
Yessiree~.
Here it is~... oh, hot.
Yep, yep.
I'm confident about my cooking.
Hamburger tofu. This one's fried squid.
And this ...is pickles with mayo.
It's delicious. And this is the rice that I cooked...
Here, come on, ah~...
How stubborn, this kid. Really...
Mm. It's well done.
Here, try. Come on. Ah~...
Come on.
It's good, right?
Hey, hang on...
Use chopsticks please. It's not like anyone is going to take it from you.
You really are hungry. I feel sorry for you.
You know, you're like Yumi Kaoru of "Mito Komon" (a famous TV show).
You're like a ninja.
My name is Murata Masako. What's yours?
Your name?
- I am... - Yeah?
- Sanada. - Sanada?
Sana.
Sanada, Sana. What a cute name.
What's this.
Such a dirty thing... I wasn't taking it.
Look here, I'm gonna go take care of these dusty things then I'll be back.
Never seen anything so dirty.
That scar... Those eyes...
Definitely went through a tough life...
"Betrayal, deception, lies..."
"As long as there are people in this world, evil is all around."
"Because people's greed is simply evil's true nature."
"Her name is Sana."
"She lives solely by the orders of her employer..."
"A woman burdened with a sad contract."
"However, where she comes from, and why is she here..."
"No one knows the answers."

Sana-chan, so dirty.
For you, Sana...
Sana, please wear this. Here.
3, 2, 1... Let's go!
I, Murata Masako will do her best the whole day today!
Thank you for the good weather, Mr. Sun!
- Kanako-chan. - Good morning, Grandma.
Good morning. (Murata Kanako)
You're wearing that? Aren't you cold?
Nope, I'm fine. Be going now.
Okay, take care. See you later.
Oh my! Just when I was thinking of someone... (Murata Takero)
...you came out... - You'll be late so...
...get going~!
(Murata Kyoko)
You know, Kyoko-san... (Murata Kyoko)
There's something I'd like to talk about...
Not so cute daughter-in-law...
Who the hell do you think is giving you this estate!
Just you wait until I die, I'll get you then!
Oh, no. Didn't you sleep?
Here's a change of clothes.
Isn't that a bit dangerous?
What?
You wanna pee?
Why didn't you say so earlier. Toilet's this way. Come here.
Toilet. Latrine. The loo.
Oh dear!
What were you doing...
Hey, Sana. Wait. What are you doing? That's not the way...
On a toilet, you sit here. And go pee-pee...
Afterwards, this toilet paper...
Wait, you mustn't leave this open.
I've really messed up...
This is really a mess.
Oh! Sana, you look cute.
That's okay. It looks fine.
Here. Place it at the back.
Sit down. Sit, sit.
Go ahead, sit.
How come you don't even know how to use the toilet?
Huh? You lost your memory?
Well, never mind. Then, let's dig in.
- What shall I do? - Huh?
Uh, go eat.
Been a long time since I get to mold rice ball for someone.
I didn't put poison in there.
Mm, good.
What about the weiners. It's delicious.
You had a difficult life, huh?
Listen, Sana sorry but today...
...would you like to go with me somewhere?
Come with me. Okay?
(Shoden-ryu, "Ryumei-Kan" Students wanted)
(Matsuda Ryuji)
Today, we'll be doing the caregiver's way of transferring a patient to a wheelchair.
Who would like to try?
- Nakamura-san, come. - Yes!
It's caregiving of the ancient martial arts style.
His use of ancient martial arts in caregiving is ground-breaking, y'know.
Look. Matsuda-sensei. 13th generation of the Shoden-ryu style.
What a fine man~.
(Tojo Mitsuko)
Masako-san! Macchan.
- What is it, Mitsuko. - Why didn't you...
...come to the shop yesterday?
Don't tell me, you're cheating on me by going to other shops.
You're too loud.
- Did you get that? - Wait, I'll introduce you.
- She's a relative of mine. - Relat--?
Hi there~. Nice to meet you. Hel-lo~!
- You didn't get that? - She's not so lively, huh?
Oh, more importantly, did you hear about the small fire commotion?
- Oh, at the Zen-Toh shrine? - Yeah, that temple.
- Gave us a fright. Right~? - Murata-san.
- Haven't called on you for a long time... - Uh, me?
- Yes, please. - Well, I'm a bit...
My lower back's a bit... a bit... Ouch, hurts...
Sana, Sana... can you...
Okay, then, young lady, please come here in front.
- It'll be fine. - Who is she?
She's young. And cute.
Then I will grab your arms. Here.
Grasp like this.
You learned martial arts somewhere?
- Are you all right? - Ryu-sama~!
I guess, I'll go with Murata-san.
- Eh? Me? - Yes.
- I want to do it again. - Unfair, unfair.
- Is that so. - I'll do it again!
Sana, this is my friend Chiyo-chan's temple. (Zen-Toh Shrine)
Oh, no... it WAS true.
Mayumi-san! Mayumi-san!
Wait, wait. Please, wait.
If you leave now, you'll be killed.
But if I'm here, everyone is...
We'll be all right. Everyone here helps each other out.
There's no way this can be resolved if you're alone, right?
Hey, Chiyo-chan. Why are you arguing...
It's 'cause...
Mother and child welfare support facility?
You see, this is not just a temple...
It's a facility that protects people who ran away...
...due to their husbands' violence.
This person too?
When I fall asleep...
- When I fall asleep... the headphones... - He-Headphones?
I was happy at first. My husband is a career bureaucrat...
A calm person whose hobby is listening to classical music.
But since six months ago...
"Sorry! I spilled it."
"I'm sorry..."
"Oh, it's alright. I'll clean it up myself."
"Oh dear. Geez..."
- "Why did you spill it?" - "S-Sorry..."
- "What were you doing!" - "Sorry!"
"Drink it. Go on, drink!"
"Drink it all up, woman!"
"Drink it, you!"
And then, it got worse and worse.
That night ....
"I'm home."
"Oh... welcome back, dear."
"It's punishment... for sleeping before my return."
"I'm sorry. I felt a bit tired..."
"Tired?"
"You're tired when only thing you did was stay at home?"
"Do you know how much hard work I do..."
"...for this country?" - "Please stop..."
"For scum like you!"
"No, don't!"
"For tired people, classical music is the best."
When it was over, it was already... morning.
- Morning? - As a result, Mayumi-san's...
...hearing on her right ear is...
The harassment began here ever since I arrived.
That's why... I have no doubt it was my husband.
But then why? I've confirmed many times...
..whether it is safe here. And yet... why?
Calm down, okay?
(Donjon "Tenshukaku*" *It means "castle tower")
- His royal highness*... - Is leaving~. (Note: *The theme of the bar is a castle)
- Thank you for coming! - See you.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
But I'm astonished that it was a revenge from her DV husband.
- Right? - DV?
Huh? Don't you know it? It means "domestic violence."
It's a husband wielding violence against his wife... Well, vice versa, too.
Also a person to his lover... There's DV dating, too, right?
DV-dating?
Huh? Hey, Macchan, is she all right?
- That girl... - Yes?
She's a returnee*. (*Child who has returned after staying overseas)
"Returnee", but DV is an English term, you know?
- Is that so? - With "DV"...
I heard some people have been killed because of it.
But you know, Mayumi-san's husband is a terrible man.
They said if he'd slap her then, his own hand would get hurt and bruised*... (*It would leave an evidence of committing DV)
That's why he made her wear headphones til morning with the volume turned all the way up.
There's no way God would forgive him.
- You're right. - Tenchu.
Tenchu?
- It's punishment from the heavens. - Tenchu, huh?
Tenchu, it is.
- Royal guests... - Have arrived~!
- Welcome. - Welcome.
We burn yakimochi (grilled rice cakes) but... don't burn your house!
Beware of fire~!
"Onee-chan (sister), I'm sorry."
"Go... Don't worry about me ..."
"Don't say that. What're you saying, Yu!"
"As long as we're alive, we'll meet again..."
"For sure... we will..."
"Yu?"
"Yuuu~!"
- Ah! A burglar! Dear, come here! - Burglar?
- Mom! Mom! - Hurry!
Mom, are you alright... Who are you?
- What are you doing here! - Hurry and call 110!
No need to call the police. She's an acquaintance of mine.
An acquaintance? Mother! Geez, at a time like this...
Though it's only 11 pm... Dear, ask her to explain!
Mom, is she really an acquaintance of yours?
Don't tell me, you're trying to make her replace Yukari...
...that's what you're thinking, isn't it?! - What are you talking about!
Hey, you. What's your purpose, huh?
- There's lots of people like you! - You, too, mother, get a hold of yourself!
How did you guys come in here!
- I opened the door, of course! - Don't come in here! You daughter-in-law!
Sana-chan.
I'm sorry. Don't have to worry about that now.
If you're going home... here, this is for your taxi fare.
I have no home.
Parents... and sister, too...
Accident or something?
If that's the case, it's okay to stay here...
...until I say so. Live with me.
Is that... an order?
An order? What are you saying?
I don't know how you lived up to now...
And that you don't have much common sense or know anything.
You're such a mystery. Okay?
I was in a contract...
...in exchange for food. - Contract?
I follow anything I am told. Ordered to do anything.
Anything?
Even if I am told to kill people.
I have been living that way.
"If you're going to kill, kill me ..."
My dear...
You're willing to die...
Stop it. You can stay with me.
Come on... Stay with me always.
Don't die.
Okay, Sana...?
Somebody help me...!
Help...! Help... Help...
Help me...
Help!
(Home delivery bento, "Magokoro Apron")
(Yamaki Tatsu)
Hello hello hello!
This is home delivery bento (boxed lunch) "Magokoro Apron"!
Ma'am, please, from "Magokoro Apron"... Please favor us!
Thank you in advance~!
Pretty please~! Oh! What a cutey pie.
How are you? Charming too.
Well, ma'am...
...we also deliver delicious bento every day.
When can you order bento??
Well, right now, right?
This ikemen (hot guy) will bring it to you!
- Ikemen? - Guts.
Mayumi-san?
Mayumi-san!!
That sure was close, mister!
Please drive safely--
Wow~! That's really a gross look on you.
Mayumi-san, Mayumi-san Mayumi-san, are you all right?
Are you all right?
- Oh, thank you so much! - It was nothing.
We just called the police. Together, can we...
Police? Well, I-I have a delivery right now.
Sorry!
Mayumi-san. Mayumi-san are you okay?
He's trying to kill me... My husband...
...wants to kill me...
(Shudou Jukichi)
The forensics team is done. Take down the police tape.
Yes, sir.
- Ichinose. - Yes.
Chiyo-chan! Chiyo-chan, I heard about it.
Gave me such a fright... Hey, are you okay?
Hey, you! Hurry up and catch her husband, will you?!
- Even if you say that, we still need evidence... - How can you say that...
...he tried to killed Mayumi-san! (Ichinose Yamato)
Ma'am. If ever evidence of harassment...
...from your husband comes out....
...are you going to press charges?
File a criminal complaint?
If there's a complaint, your husband will probably lose his job.
If DV is his first offense, he'll be given probation...
...at any rate, he'll be back soon. And then...
...won't that be even more terrible?
Hang on, you! Are you threatening Mayumi-san?
That's not how a police officer talks. You don't understand the duty of a detective!
Open your eyes more...
...and look around you!
If someone is in need, a cop's job is to help, isn't it?
Go and catch him! This instant!
Do your job!
Ichinose... Let's go.
Yes sir.
I said all that I could say.
It's okay! It'll be fine!
(Murata Masako)
(Continuous disappearances of young girls incident: Investigation aborted)
(Murata Yukari)
(Put one sticker for every good thing you do. Get 10 stickers and your wish will be granted.)
(I'll grant your wish Yukari)
"If I do good, the Principal gives me a sticker."
"Is that so?"
(Mommy)
What the heck... Just a false report?!
There was a report... That someone's likely to commit suicide...
But you're not, right?
'Cause if a person's gonna jump off, they'd usually take off their shoes.
Well, if you want to eat, just say so...
...since we're preparing dinner. Okay?
If there is anything, call me, okay?
Mayumi-san.
Don't forget. That is your true face.
- True face? - See you later.
(Zen-Toh Shrine)
What is this sound... Busy signal?
Huh?
Jeez, man~... hey... If you want to draw some sympathy...
...can you do it somewhere outside my jurisdiction?
Okay? Please!
Why did you decide on your own to disappear on me?
Why the hell huh!
How...how did you get in?
I hired a detective agency.
I was able to sneak in here, thanks to the police.
While you guys were talking to the cops, no one noticed me sneaking in pretentiously...
Idiot.
I couldn't get through!
I thought it's dangerous if she's here...
I think you should have someone look after her.
And then, I tried to call you, but couldn't get through.
Ouch... please stop...
Apologize. Make up for your rudeness... Apologize!
Come on!
You're like a piece of junk I picked up.
Apologize! Hey!
"Please forgive me..." "Thank you so much."
- Say it! - Please forgive me...
"Mayumi-san..."
"Don't forget... That is your true face."
Who...
...should say it. - What?
Who should apologize to you?
I'm bringing back my real self.
I will not only escape from my fear of you.
I'm going back to my real self!
- Help! - Eh!
- What's that? - Help me!
A scream...
Huh? What is it?
A scream is...
Hey!
Gone?
Help me! No! Help me!
Hey, apologize. Apologize to me. Hey!
Mayumi-san? Mayumi-san!
Mayumi-san! Ah! Hey... are you alright?
- What's the matter? - What happened?
- I just fell down a bit. - You fell?
- Be careful... - Chiyo-chan, Chiyo-chan!
We know you're there! You coward.
- Please don't make a fuss. - You're the husband?
I was only worried about my wife...
- I came just to see how she was. - What do you want, you scum!
- Scum? - Chiyo-chan! Call 110!
Yes, got it!
- Mayumi, you... - Please stop it!
It's you guys who are scum!
- It's you! - Stop it!
I'm punishing you for making a fool of me!
No!
Chiyo-chan...
Yes... got it.
You're gonna be like that are you?!
Sana!
Contract~!
Accepted.
Mayumi-san! Mayumi-san!
What do you want?
Get outta my way. You trying to be some ally of justice?
For me, there is no such thing... as justice.
I do the work for one rice ball.
That is all.
Just get outta my way!
You piece of crap!
Punk!
Know Mayumi-san's pain!
No... no... S-Stop it!
Sana!
Stop. Stop it!
Why? Why let...
...such a bad man live?
I said stop!
Tenchu.
- Have you learned your lesson? - I'm sorry...
Run away. Hurry!
Oww oww oww...
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
It hurts~... oww oww...
- Are they all right? - Scary, wasn't it?
- Excuse me, did something happen? - Well...
Seems to have been done by a strange person with a hoodie.
- Hood? - Yes.
Lady in white...
May I speak with you just for a minute?
Thank you so much.
- But we're so glad you're safe. - It's because you were all with me...
That's why from now on, I...
That's right. Say it out loud if you're in trouble.
So that, the public becomes aware.
Shout it out, okay?
- Please take care of her. - Yes.
- Be careful. - Take care.
You scared me!
Sana.
I was surprised at how agile you are.
And it's true, you do stuff like a ninja huh?
Who could this be?
Oh, it's Chiyo-chan... Yes, hello?
Macchan...
Mayumi-san has...
...committed suicide.
Huh? She did?
Either you or I... should've been with her.
Sana...
With this hand... Although you saved her with this hand...
...she jumped off and died.
My encouragement to her was all for nothing.
Sana.
Can you entrust your life to me?
There can't be any more people like Mayumi.
We may be small in the world but we have to do what we can to change it.
We have to make it better! Please! Please...
...Sana, lend me your strength...
This, Sana... is your contract with me.
Aye.
"Her name is Sana."
Thank... Thank you.
"She lives solely on the orders of her employer..."
"...a woman burdened with a sad contract."
"However, where she comes from, and why is she here..."
"Nobody knows the answer for now."
