I'll be the one who protects you from now on.
So,
let us cross this destiny together.
Please marry me.
- Marry? - Yes.
Kazuma proposed to me.
That's tiny.
- How many carats? - Didn't you two break up?
We did.
- Kazuma decided to be a man, is it? - I see. So the day finally came.
The day?
It's all right. I will find time to talk to Kazuma.
Talk? About what?
About L clan, of course.
- It's fine not to talk about it. - Don't worry.
I will teach him all the skills required to steal.
- It's okay not to teach him. - So how many carats?
For my beloved daughter, I will see to it.
Are you listening? I don't need you to do anything.
Why? You don't have to be so polite with me.
I'm not.
How do you expect someone...
to accept that their partner is a thief?
- So, tell me how many carats? - Even so,
it's wrong to keep it from them if you're getting married.
A couple needs to be open with each other.
Open the door!
I get it. I'll do it myself.
Please don't say anything, Dad.
How many carats is it? How many?
Etsuko, it doesn't matter how many carats, does it?
I will train him properly,
so that he'll be able to steal a bigger one.
Dear.
They're not listening at all.
I've heard about it, Kazuma. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Kazuma, it has been decided.
Good job.
Finally...
You two are overreacting.
One of us finally made it into the First Division.
That's right. The long-time wish of the Sakuraba family...
has finally come true.
- Misako, prepare red bean rice. - Right away.
Wait! I said, wait.
What I wanted to say is...
I'll marry Hana once I am promoted to First Division.
What? Haven't we made a deal?
Once I get into First Division, Hana and I will get married.
That's true. I mistakenly agreed.
- What do you mean? - I like Hana too.
But I didn't expect a marriage to happen so soon.
My heart is not ready.
Why do you need to be ready?
I'm the one who's getting married with Hana.
The thing is, even if we agree,
your grandpa might be...
Wait, only saying this now is too cruel.
Grandpa.
You're marrying that girl?
Yes.
Father seems to be happy.
You think so?
Have you come to a realization?
Yes, of course.
I'm going to the waterfall.
Safe trip.
Hana?
Is this really okay?
I told you.
We'll cross the destiny together.
- You don't have to force yourself. - I'm not.
Why do you think that?
Because I'm...
the L clan that you've been trying to catch.
Even so, my feelings for you haven't changed.
Besides...
It's okay to kill the L clan...
if you find them.
I have to protect you.
Protect you, Hana.
Come, let's go.
No need to be so formal.
That's right. You're so tense.
Make yourself at home.
No, I...
This isn't just nervousness.
To be a cop and submit to thieves,
he must be very uncomfortable.
Usually, it would be the other way around.
Father.
Mother.
Grandma.
From today on,
I will protect Hana no matter what happens.
Please...
Entrust Hana to me.
I'm sorry, Kazuma.
I don't plan to give my daughter to you.
What?
I've spent a lot of time, energy...
and love to bring my daughter up.
I'm not about to hand her over...
to some wild kid from I don't know where.
That's what I always thought.
But seeing how determined you are with Hana,
it changed my mind.
You made Hana adore you so much.
I won't forgive you if you ever hurt her.
Understood.
I promise to make her happy.
Okay, come and sit here.
Excuse my intrusion.
Can you bring the champagne I prepared?
Be right back.
Thank you.
By the way, Kazuma,
aren't you bored working as a public officer?
Sorry?
Wait, Dad.
No.
Here it is.
It must be boring.
It must be all about paperwork, no?
You're being mean to public officers.
We can talk about this another time.
But I'd like to introduce you to something more exciting.
More exciting?
- Hey... - That's right.
Every day is full of surprises and excitement.
A very good job.
Isn't that right, dear?
Like a treasure box filled with surprises.
Not funny at all.
Wishing you two happiness. Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This tastes so good.
Where did you collect it?
Mr. Hidao from the 49th floor.
Collect? Don't tell me...
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Kazuma, you don't have to force yourself.
What are you talking about?
Just for today,
I opened the high-end, Gold champagne from Prague.
Drink up.
That's not it.
We're thinking the same thing.
We don't want to drink something that was stolen.
Why? You don't like champagne?
No.
Let's drink.
What are you doing?
I drank it.
Sorry about that, Kazuma.
You had to agree with everything.
It's okay.
Even with differences,
this process needs to be done properly.
Hana.
I hope you can promise me one thing.
What is it?
Let's not lie to each other again.
And please stop being a thief.
I understand.
I will stop stealing.
Also,
I'm going to tell you everything from now on.
Thank you.
Not at all.
I'm sure you already know.
My family actually doesn't live in that house.
Our real house is in a different place.
Real house?
I'll take you there...
when my parents aren't home.
Is that okay?
I want to show you.
The real me.
(Daughter of Lupin: Episode 7)
Let's go.
Hana...
Are you kidding me?
Where are we?
Come with me.
Sorry for the intrusion.
Wait for me here.
Okay.
Wataru.
Are you awake?
Wataru?
Kazuma.
You can come in.
Okay.
This is your real house?
It's kind of overwhelming that my brain can't process.
Where do I even begin?
You're here, Kazuma.
It's okay.
Grandma knows you're a cop.
Oh, right.
I heard from Hana.
That you two are crossing the destiny together.
- Yes. - You have my support. Count on me.
Thank you so much.
Take a seat.
I'll get you some tea.
Okay.
That is my husband.
A great man, right?
He was a legendary thief.
Legendary...
Hideyoshi's teapot?
Jewelry stolen from the Ryuuzaki gang.
Even the secret treasures of Dama Kingdom.
Everything you see here is stolen.
Sorry, Kazuma.
Just tell me if you wish to confiscate them.
What are you saying?
- I'm beat. - Oh no.
- Quick, hide! - It's more tiring than I expected.
Kazuma, over here.
No, what?
Wataru?
We're back.
- We're back. - Welcome back.
Welcome back.
You're very early today.
The work ended early.
Etsuko suddenly suggested we go watch the fireworks in a kimono.
I went to Ms. Aida's house on the 36th floor to pick one.
But none of it looked nice.
We went to five places...
before she finally saw one she liked.
Well, doesn't this look cute?
Dear, my shoulders ache from trying so many clothes.
- Can you give me a massage? - Okay.
Guys, listen.
Please stop stealing.
There. That feels good. A bit harder.
Like this?
You'll get caught sooner or later if you don't stop.
Get caught?
Those useless police could never catch L clan.
They can only catch...
those little, dumb thieves.
Right, and then act as if they did something great...
and brag about it.
Just a bunch of annoying people.
They're living off tax money from the people.
Basically salary thieves.
Stop talking like you're all that!
You're nothing but thieves.
Wait a minute, Hana.
What are you doing?
Why are you standing in front of Wataru's room?
Oh no.
What? Don't come near.
Step aside, Hana.
- Why? - Just step aside.
Wataru, are you awake?
Wataru, I'm going in.
No, please don't.
You're going to piss me off if you open the door.
I think he's awake.
Grandma, that's not going to work.
Wataru, what are you doing?
Nothing in particular. Just go away.
Wait, the voice is different.
I'm tuning. Now is not a good time.
I'm going to get angry if you open the door.
Is that so?
Sorry about that.
Etsuko, we should leave for the fireworks.
Right.
That somehow worked.
Grandma, you're the best.
Piece of cake.
(Highly-concentrated sleeping spray, ZZZ)
Sorry.
Let's go, Kazuma.
I'm back.
What happened?
You look particularly tired today.
Just a little.
I'm going to bath.
Wait, Kazuma.
You met Hana's parents, right?
Yes.
If so, the next step is to send gifts to their family.
Send gifts?
Right, I forgot about it.
I'll take care of that.
The venue has already been booked.
What?
An onsen trip?
That's right.
It has been a tradition of Sakuraba...
to conduct the giving gifts process at that resort.
Resort...
Are we going to be staying overnight?
Sorry. It's an overnight trip.
There's no problem with my parents.
They think your parents are high-society, content creators.
My parents also believe...
that you guys are normal public officers.
But if they start talking about work...
Must we really conduct the gifting at the resort?
Yes, my family is very particular about the tradition.
What should we do?
If we don't have a plan...
Right.
I have an idea.
Dear, pack your own underwear and socks.
I have them. Look, even the undershirt.
Dad, Mom.
Do you have a minute?
I have something important to say.
What is it? Sounds serious.
Actually, Hana has an older brother.
He hasn't stepped outside his room for a while.
He used to be very active and interested in bugs.
Up until the summer of his junior year in high school...
when something happened.
What happened?
In the train on his way to school, he was called a pervert.
How could a high-schooler be a pervert?
He's still an adolescent.
That's right.
But he wasn't good at talking.
Admit it!
After being ruthlessly questioned by the police...
You peeked, didn't you?
You peeked at her, right?
Just admit it!
That's terrible.
He was still in high school.
Pressuring someone into confessing...
is something unacceptable.
That's how he developed the mental illness.
After that incident, Hana's family...
became very wary of policemen.
Hearing the word police leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Sometimes, it would even cause difficulty in breathing.
I see.
Is that why...
"Police officer"?
What? Kazuma, didn't you tell her?
Sorry, Hana.
I'm actually a police officer.
Hana!
We didn't think of that at all.
Now, I feel bad.
So, when her parents are around,
please don't bring up the fact that we're police officers.
Got it, I won't say anything.
Thank you.
This is so bothersome.
Why do we have to go to the onsen just for the gifting?
Don't say that.
This is for our beloved daughter.
I don't like resorts.
- I don't want to sleep on a tatami. - I know.
If you can't stand it, we'll get you a bed from the nearby hotel.
Anyway, what about Wataru?
What do you mean?
Hey, Wataru.
Are you coming with us to the onsen?
Oh no.
Wataru is supposed to be traumatized by that incident.
I'm not going. My skin doesn't do well with onsen.
The voice is back.
I guess he's done with the tuning.
Wataru has always had sensitive skin and heart.
He's never even taken a train yet.
I cannot stand physical contact. I have germophobia.
I'm sorry, Wataru.
This is defamation, isn't it?
It's a necessary sacrifice.
Now, Hana, tomorrow is the day.
I'm going to get through it safely.
It has a countryside vibe. How nice.
This seems really plain.
- Want to play with marbles? - No.
No? How about that game?
No.
Dear.
This place looks better.
I know how you feel. But that hasn't been built yet.
Gosh, I don't like sleeping in dark places.
Don't worry, I'll think of something.
Please, Dad.
Stop harassing them.
Why?
Understood. I'm ready for it.
This brings back memories.
Reminds me of the time Kaori had her gifting.
It was great when we showed everyone the arrest techniques.
That's right.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Mr. Mikumo.
Hello, sorry to keep you waiting.
Welcome to our resort.
And congratulations.
We'll take care of your bags.
Thank you.
Please be careful with that.
Ms. Mikumo.
The gifting will start at 3pm.
Please take a good rest in your room until then.
Will do.
I'll take you to your rooms. Come this way.
Watch your step.
What is up with this resort?
It has the smell of commoners.
What's wrong with that?
This is the smell of Japanese culture.
It doesn't excite me at all.
Mom, stop complaining about everything.
This long-established resort is where the Sakurabas...
have conducted wedding gifting for generations.
Still, I don't like it.
Breathing in the air here...
is contaminating myself with the commoners' smell.
Dad, what are all these?
I collected these from Romi Holiday Resort...
that Etsuko really wanted to go.
Dear!
There's more.
Look.
Put this on and feel better.
You brought my little secret treasure.
All good.
- Look. - I don't think that's a good idea.
You better not wear that to the gifting.
Don't worry. It will be okay if you hide it underneath.
I finally feel more at ease.
I'm glad, Etsuko.
I really can't get along with her mom.
Mom, please don't be difficult.
Focus on the gifting event.
What are you doing, Dad?
I'm practicing the arrest techniques for the event.
You're performing?
As the father of the groom,
I have to do a good job as the host.
I already told you not to do that.
It's fine. Just let him do what he wants.
Everyone's going to be drinking anyway.
We went over this yesterday.
We can't let them know that we're police officers.
I'm not telling them.
But this is the only talent that I can show off.
Such a dilemma.
It's fine if you don't. Please just sit still.
Kazuma.
Hana.
How is your side doing?
Super worried.
But I'll do my best.
How about you?
Same. I'm super worried too.
But I'll do my best.
I'm sorry.
It's all because of us.
Hana.
You keep apologizing.
This is our destiny.
You're not enduring this alone.
It will work out.
After we exchange gifts,
we'll quickly finish the food and let them return to their rooms.
So there is nothing to worry about.
Kazuma.
Hana.
That's enough, do you hear me?
I've already said no many times.
If anything else happens,
I'm going to report it to the police.
Sorry, excuse me.
Hana.
Beautiful, right?
She looks just like me in the past.
We are truly pleased that...
daughter of Mikumo, Hana...
and our eldest son, Kazuma,
are getting married.
Now, allow me to host the ceremony.
Is this going to take long? Will it?
Please keep quiet.
Firstly, the Sakuraba family will present the gifts.
Wishing you a happy and lasting union. Please graciously accept.
(Wedding Gifts' List)
Thank you.
We accept the gifts.
Thank you.
This is the gift from Mikumo family.
Wishing you a happy and lasting union. Please graciously accept.
Takeru, you did great. When did you learn all that?
From the Internet.
(I collected the money.)
Are you okay?
(L clan)
Mom?
Ouch.
Sorry about that.
I'm very delicate. My legs get numb easily.
What do you mean delicate? You're just...
Thank you so much. We accept your gift.
Etsuko, come.
The exchange of gifts is now complete.
We'll be under your care.
Likewise, we'll be under your care.
That's all for today.
I get it, Kazuma. This must feel weird.
Thieves and cops.
Being under each other's care?
This is the special wedding feast.
Please enjoy.
Japanese food?
I was hoping to have Spanish food tonight.
Mom.
An onsen resort wouldn't have that.
- Mom. - Is your dad not joining us today?
He doesn't handle such events well.
So we asked him to look after the house.
(Gratitude)
Gratitude.
That's too bad.
You must be glad.
To be able to see your granddaughter get married.
Yes, my husband would be very happy too.
Right, we should inform the late grandpa too.
Late?
You shouldn't curse others to die.
Grandpa.
You never show yourself even at home.
You might as well be dead.
For convenience, we even prepared your altar.
Why did he suddenly show up today?
It's a happy occasion, so I told him to come.
He's actually alive?
This is getting messy.
So, you've been involved with volunteer work abroad?
Assisting the weak.
That's our clan's policy.
Your clan?
Yes, that's right. The Mikumo clan's policy.
I see. That's the policy that Mikumo clan practices.
That's great.
Father, how about we go enjoy the onsen?
- Onsen? - I can scrub your back for you.
Scrub my back? Sounds good.
Let's go then.
Mom, we should go too.
I'm good, thanks.
I heard it's good for the skin.
Really? Let's go.
The onsen here is very nice.
Yes.
Do you watch the news often, Kazuma?
Yes.
You do?
Have you heard of the L clan?
Yes.
What do you think?
What do you mean?
I don't think they're bad people.
Why do you think so?
They're noble thieves, right?
They don't harm others.
They only steal from bad people.
That's why Hana chose you.
I see it.
I know Hana doesn't think it's a good idea.
But actually, we are...
the L clan.
You're not surprised.
I am surprised.
Really?
This isn't what I expected.
Since you and Hana are getting married,
you'll need to learn some skills.
The Mikumo family...
No.
Please take care of the L clan.
Okay.
What's happening?
He's been caught.
Now, I'm going to suppress him for good.
Sorry, Hana.
He wanted to show his arrest techniques.
There have been many crimes targeting the elderly lately.
Let's begin.
Grab hold of the arm like this and with one breath...
Sorry.
My hand must have slipped.
Mr. Mikumo, can we try it again?
All right, that's enough for today.
You've had too much to drink, dear.
- Come on. - How did he free himself?
He is indeed a legendary thief.
His usage of joints is incredible.
Dear, you drank too much.
Sorry, Hana.
No worries.
Dear, have some water.
- I'll take my leave now. - Wait.
How about we go to the onsen together?
Sure, I'll go and get ready.
See you there.
We're the only ones left.
Matsu.
When did you find out?
That he's from the Sakuraba family.
She really has no manners.
What is up with this weird necklace?
What do you mean weird?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
It's okay. I'm sorry, Hana.
I'm worried about my husband. I think I should be with him.
Okay.
What is this?
This onsen is amazing.
It's so smooth.
I can feel myself getting younger.
55, 54, 53...
Dear.
Dear, get up! Wake up!
Dear!
(I collected the money.)
(L clan)
Dear, wake up!
The L clan appeared?
What do you mean?
The wallet I kept in the safe in my room was stolen.
This was left inside.
"I collected the money. L clan."
The L clan wouldn't do something so petty.
You seem to be very sure.
That's not surprising.
Everyone who has seen the news would know.
They've become popular people now?
They're nearby.
We'll find out sooner or later.
Grandpa.
And he's gone after saying some cryptic words.
Right, it might be here.
Among us.
Excuse me.
Sorry for the intrusion.
The police is here.
Sorry, I'm going to ask you a few questions.
We don't need the police. I'll handle the investigation.
My apologies.
We're going to split up and investigate possible suspects.
Kazuma, Misako, let's get to it.
They're acting like police officers.
They must love detective dramas.
I'm surprised someone's pretending to be the L clan.
They're making use of our name.
We'll need to punish them.
More than that, shouldn't you guys be more worried...
about the missing wallet?
It's the victim's fault.
Only idiots leave their valuables in the safe.
The more you wish to hide, the more visible it is.
I've had enough.
- It's not here. - What's wrong, Etsuko?
I can't find my secret treasure anywhere.
It's not here.
- Hello? - My secret treasure.
What? An investigation briefing?
All right. I'll explain everything.
- But... - It's okay.
I'll take care of it.
Romi.
Hey, sorry to intrude.
Is something wrong?
You mentioned it over the phone.
That you'd report to the police if something happens again.
Could this be related to what just happened?
I'm so sorry.
You know who the culprit is?
To be frank, it's all my fault.
If I hadn't fallen in love with him,
this wouldn't have happened.
Fifteen times in this month?
Yes.
Our guests' wallets keep getting stolen.
There are comments on the Internet about this resort,
saying your things will definitely be stolen.
Definitely be stolen?
Recently, a company has been trying to buy the onsen street.
It's called the Romi Holiday Resort.
But it's just a facade.
A triad organization is behind the project.
We rejected their offer to purchase our land.
So they started harassing us.
I've asked them many times to stop.
But they're not listening.
Only one person is willing to listen.
He's the company owner's son.
Stop harassing them.
Understood. I'm ready for it.
He said he'd stop them.
And that he'd get himself out from the organization.
He promised me to find an honest job.
During the negotiations,
I fell for this man who is my enemy.
I know it's wrong.
But...
There's no way you'd give up.
Every passing day is a torture, as if my heart is being torn apart.
Yet, you can't stop thinking about him,
wanting to see him.
But...
both parents are against the relationship.
At the time, he said,
"Let's cross this destiny together."
Exactly.
Do you understand?
I know exactly how you feel.
I'm going to talk to him about it.
I'll make sure they return the guests' valuables.
We have found that...
the young female owner of the resort, Hiyama Eri,
is seeing her Romeo, Romi,
who's working for a triad organization.
Lately, the triad has been harassing the resort guests...
in order to separate the pair.
No.
So they're the culprits?
The possibility is high.
Kazuma, request for a search warrant from the jurisdiction.
I got it.
Dear, we need to get my secret treasure back.
Wait a minute.
Your father is a public officer, right?
- Yes. - No.
Our whole family are police officers.
Mom!
Kazuma.
What should I do?
Hana.
Grandpa.
Change into this.
I hope you can promise me one thing.
Let's not lie to each other again.
And please stop being a thief.
Assisting the weak.
Eliminate bullies.
This is the policy of the L clan.
That's enough, you idiot!
Stop!
Don't shoot her! Shoot me!
It's okay.
It doesn't matter if I can die loving you.
I'll go.
Hold it.
Who are you?
What does this old man want? Stop right there!
Darn you.
Grandpa.
This jerk.
Hey, get hold of this weird old man.
Remove your filthy hands.
Another one.
Trying to separate two lovers using such dirty tactics.
Even if your parents forgive you,
I would never.
L clan.
Don't just stand there. Get her!
Yes!
What are you guys doing?
What's this?
Get him!
Darn you.
It's your tough luck meeting me today.
For all the crimes you've committed,
learn penitence.
Grandpa, when did you find out who the culprit is?
Right from the start.
I took a good look with both my eyes.
Are you okay?
Thank goodness.
Romi.
Thank you, guys.
Dad.
Hana, why did you keep it from us?
It's out in the open, that Kazuma's family are police officers.
Our whole family are police officers.
My husband works at the Metropolitan Police Department.
I work at the Metropolitan Forensic Department.
And Kazuma was recently promoted to the Metropolitan First Division.
The Sakurabas have been police officers for generations.
We need to move quickly.
Dear, I can't find my secret treasure.
Did they actually steal it?
You're right. Who else could've taken it?
I'm sorry, Hana.
I'm worried about my husband. I think I should be with him.
We've probably been found out.
The fact that we're the L clan.
Do you remember this?
The L clan stole this, right? The secret treasure of Dama Kingdom.
My fingerprints are on it.
There can only be one answer.
This is the real thing that I wore...
before the L clan stole it.
We're dealing with the L clan. Keep your guard up.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
The police is moving. Get out of there.
Hurry!
I'm not going to grow old in prison.
Police! Surrender yourselves.
Up there. Get them!
Darn it. Hurry!
Kazuma, down there.
Kazuma.
Stop right there!
Stop!
Halt!
Hana!
Kazuma.
I'll go get you. I promise.
Why? We agreed to cross the destiny together, right?
Hana.
Don't dally anymore. Go!
Hana.
Say something.
Hana!
Found them. Over here!
Hana!
(To be continued)
Before you join the First Division,
you'll have to arrest Mikumo Hana yourself.
Why didn't you tell me?
That the Sakurabas are police officers.
Hana.
Where are you?
(The end of the road to escape is...)
(This drama is a work of fiction.)
