She was my older sister.
She was also Senkawa-san's girlfriend.
You said you'd grant whatever request I have, right?
I don't think my sister died in an accident.
I believe she was murdered.
There are others who were murdered.
Who is behind you? Tell me, Wakabayashi!
The Next Day
Senkawa hasn't returned yet?
He left yesterday. What a thoughtless man.
- Is he at your shop? - No, he's not.
Well we know why. It's a woman!
He's experiencing the fantasy of waking up in a stranger's bed.
No way!
Sorry. Where's Senkawa-san?
We're not sure.
What's up? Did he give you an assignment?
This isn't a cafeteria, you guys get going.
Get out Robin.
You too Rachel.
- Me as well? - Hurry and leave please.
Man, I wanted to eat here.
Go, go! This way, go!
What is it? Did you want to say something?
- You're Kurusu Wakana's younger brother? - Hang on, are you serious?
My name was Kurusu Naoto.
But our parents divorced, so I became Sudo Naoto.
I've been looking for Senkawa-san this whole time.
As expected, he's low profile.
Even a professional couldn't find him.
But I saw the broadcast from the other day.
This is being shown live.
The fact he threatened Nitobe gave me a clue.
I guessed he was working as an intimidator.
So with that small hint, I was able to find him.
And so is that why you approached Mio-san?
Four years ago,
this is where Kurusu Wakana-san opened her shop.
Excuse me...
Senkawa-san...
Senkawa-san!
What should I do? ...Ambulance!
No. No hospital.
Please.
Maybe there's a first aid kit...
Yes!
Wakana-san and Senkawa-san?
Winter, 4 years earlier
Tonight at 9PM, someone broke into a Yokohama area home.
The thief took money and valuables before being confronted by the residents.
The roughly 30 year old suspect was injured
before fleeing the scene.
Police are checking security cameras in their search.
Any witnesses are asked to contact the authorities.
FROM NOW ON I WILL THREATEN YOU

Episode 8
From "Cake lover, Higashi".
"Hello DJ Okki."
Good morning!
"I have been married for ten years. Last month, for our
10th anniversary, I went on a trip with my husband.
we stayed at the same hotel
that we stayed at for our honeymoon."
Who are you?
I'm a T-shirt designer.
A T-shirt designer?
You collapsed in front of my shop yesterday.
Why'd you help me?
You were injured. I'd help anyone in that state.
Have you told the police?
No.
You need to rest.
Please,
let go.
You might cut me.
Uh...
do you have a name?
It's cool. You can tell me when you feel like it.
The color might look weird,
but it's made of things to get you back on your feet.
Does it taste bad?
It can't be...
Yeah, it tastes as green as it looks.
- Let me give you a sponge bath. - I can do it myself.
You can't yet. Sit still.
I've been doing this ever since I started
looking after my grandparents.
There's a foundation run by volunteers.
I was brought up in one of their facilities.
My parents divorced when I was ten.
They fought a custody battle over my brother and I.
I really wanted to stay with my mother.
I didn't want to be alone with my dad.
After my father passed away,
I had nowhere to go,
So the foundation took me in.
There was a woman who was like a mother to everyone.
She did her best for those in an unhappy and unfortunate situation.
I wonder if it's because her son passed away.
She looked after us like a real parent.
When I told her I wanted to be a designer
with my own shop some day,
- she chanted a good luck charm for me. - A good luck charm?
Constant dripping, constant dripping,
constant dripping wears away a stone.
Just like a raindrop, if you're consistent and try your hardest,
you're sure to succeed.
The foundation's mother,
Tominaga Ayako-san.
Rainbow Foundation Reunion
I wonder why Wakana-san is with Tominaga-san?
This is how to use a knife.
This sauce is delicious...
Because it's from a jar.
Why'd you do such a foolish thing?
You got hurt. You even had the police after you.
I honestly thought about reporting you.
It's best to reflect on your deeds and turn yourself in.
I won't do that. I did the job at a client's request.
Who? Who on earth would request a robbery?
Robbery?
- Yes. Robbery. - What?
Today's news...
A man thought to be the Yokohama burglar,
after stealing money and other valuables,
was arrested earlier.
Kojima Tomokazu, an unemployed Yokohama resident,
has been arrested and charged with burglary.
An intimidator?
It's a job where you threaten someone?
I threaten and the client pays.
- What I do is more honorable than a thief. - A crime is a crime.
Making threats isn't a nice job.
I don't want to hear a stranger's opinion.
I might be a stranger, but I know right from wrong.
My old man was also an intimidator.
It's the only work I know.
Keep your opinions to yourself.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Police. May we speak to you?
What about?
We saw some sort of bloodstain on your fence.
We were just out on patrol and
it caught our eye.
That's...
That's mine.
- I was a little careless. Want to see? - That's OK.
If there's ever a problem, please let us know.
Thank you very much.
- Let's go. - OK.
Why didn't you turn me in?
You might be a criminal,
but right now, you're injured and weak.
I can't abandon such a person,
even if you've committed a crime.
Senkawa Kanji. My name.
I'm Kurusu Wakana. Nice to meet you.
Senkawa-san,
began to trust my sister.
I was surprised. The Senkawa I met here is totally different from the person my sister described.
It might not look it, but it takes him time to open up.
Senkawa-san hasn't really changed since your sister knew him.
You don't look very busy. Your designs aren't popular are they?
There may come a day when my sales go through the roof.
Maybe a celebrity happens to wear one of my t-shirts,
- and suddenly everybody wants one. - That won't happen.
It will!
Welcome!
- Hi, excuse me. - Yes?
Do you have anything that'd look good on me?
That was sudden.
What about this?
- A big print like this. - Not bad.
We have it in various sizes and colors.
We've got it in red, and with smaller print too.
- This just one feature. -It's got a nice design.
Seems like there should be more.
What is it?
Today's sales and inventory don't add up.
- What's on the security camera? - Don't have one.
It'd look like I don't trust my customers.
"Every person's a good person." Is that innate virtue theory, or the words of Confucius?
- Mencius's honesty theory, obviously . - Doesn't matter.
While you embrace honesty, your shop will go bankrupt.
I'd hate for that to happen.
But I hate doubting my customers even more.
That was way too easy!
This is nice!
Stop right there!
Let me speak with you guys for a moment.
We're sorry for stealing. It won't happen again!
Please forgive us!
I thought you went for a walk?
What'd you say to those kids?
All I said was, "If you don't confess to shoplifting, your youth will end today."
- Threats without evidence? - I didn't need evidence.
If I threatened them, I knew they'd confess.
- No one asked you to threaten them. - I did it for you!
Forced confessions are wrong.
You just wanted to prove you
could get your way with intimidation.
I'm going to stop refusing to recognize your job as a real one.
Because I think there's meaning behind every job.
So if you really have to threaten someone,
please threaten to help the victims.
I thought you wouldn't come back.
I forgot to say something earlier...
Thank you.
Won't you stay with me a little longer?
You haven't healed yet,
and my place feels cold when I'm alone.
Besides if there's a bodyguard in the house,
I can be at "peace-ingapore".
Peace...Singapore?
With puns like that, I see why you feel cold.
Make me a cup of coffee.
Your cooking, eh... Your coffee's not bad.
I have some really special coffee beans!
- Looks so delicious! - Yes it does!
Here you go! Christmas chicken dinner!
- Mmmm... - Wait! Wait!
- What? - There.
I don't need that.
What is that?
- You look like... - Like what?
- Finished? - Not quite.
Hang on.
This one on your waist.
This arm goes here...Yes like that.
Yes like that! OK, smile!
- Smile! Smile! - Alright hurry.
- About 3 centimeters. - 3 centimeters?
This one here.
- 'No way! Nothing will fit! - No, no, it's too thick!
That won't do anything.
Not only coffee...
- The window's open! - Why's it open?
- Here's the coffee. - Look! Look!
Wow.
- Yes. - Here.
It's beautiful.
- Beautiful, isn't it? - Yeah.
Look this way Kanji.
Hey, my photo's not free. Hand over my modeling fees.
What? I can't even keep just one picture?
Not allowed! (Pun sounding like "Nigeria")
Too bad!
Not good. (Pun sounding like "Nile River")
- I want to keep it! - Your turn...
Hmm?
Not allowed. (Pun sounding like "Nairobi")
That pun...wasn't punny. (Pun sounding like "Nice guy")
Nice guy? Are you talking about yourself?
Too baaa-
Hang on a minute.
Please meet our two new staff members.
Starting today, they'll be helping. Please introduce yourselves.
My name is Inui Yuuka, I'm a 4th year university student.
I look forward to helping as a member of your team.
I'm Tsuda Koharu, also a 4th year university student.
Please accept me on your team.
Nice to meet you both.
Having young people join us
will revitalise our energy.
Everyone, let's welcome them.
Welcome!
Let's bring Mio to one of these events.
- Next time. - Good idea!
Mio-san mentioned she wants to volunteer.
It's almost Christmas...
Maybe Mio will celebrate with Senkawa-san.
Maybe...Probably!
Director, we have some new information.
My apologies for being late.
Please excuse me.
- He escaped? - It's completely our fault.
It's alright. Let's all look for him.
Arguments with puns? That's a unique man you have there.
When I asked him what kind of animal I should use for my new design,
he suggested weird insects like praying mantis, ants, and bees.
One usually replies with types of mammals.
Bees are bad luck for you since you were stung as a child.
I cried after being stung, but you were there.
You carried me down the mountain, and calmed me with your gentle words.
I remember the comfort of your warm back.
That's right.
And now crying Wakana is a designer. She even has her own store.
How's it going? Everything alright?
Well, I'm in a bit of a predicament.
For the last time!
If you don't vacate this shop immediately,
who knows what will happen to this place.
I have a valid lease. There's no reason for me to leave.
Paper burns easily.
Young lady,
I'm telling you to get out for your own good.
Eh?
A man?
I shall be looking forward to hearing good news from you soon.
Is he a real estate shark?
Actually, the surrounding shops are being pushed out too.
- Just say the word! I'll threaten him. - - No!
No threats.
Stay out of it. I'll sort it out.
Tada! This summer's first design is finished!
Here you go.
To commemorate, the very first one is for Kanji!
- Why is it a fox? - That's my image of an intimidator.
This is too elegant. Not me at all.
Listen carefully, Senkawa Kanji.
Next Sunday, you're walking around with Kurusu Wakana. So, you better wear this shirt.
If you don't,
I'll be sooo sad.
Why?
Because...
It's my birthday!
I'll think about it.
Hey...
Look...
MATSUO JIROU
MAN KILLED BY FALLING DEBRIS
TRAGIC ACCIDENT
Witnesses speak out
MATSUO JIROU
Hey, it wasn't me!
Ayako-san.
I need to talk to you.
OK everyone, it's snack time!
We'll continue afterwards.
Hello?
I'm heading to Kobe right now.
I got an urgent request.
We're meeting tomorrow at 8AM.
Because I'm going out of my way,
I'm the "Extra Mile Intimidator", don't you think?
Whatever you say. You'll be back tomorrow?
Mr. "Extra Mile Intimidator"?
Probably.
OK, but wear theT-shirt!
Maybe.
Kanji,
Thank you.
Hey, I haven't decided to wear it yet!
Because you're with me,
I'm going to keep going...After all,
...it's people who change people.
Did something happen?
I'll tell you tomorrow. Bye!
Do I have to?
Kanji?
** KOBE **
What's taking this guy so long?
KURUSU WAKANA
- Hello! I'm still waiting for the guy. - Sorry. I'm with the Kanagawa Police.
My sister died on the morning of her 29th birthday.
- On her birthday!? - I heard it was an accident.
There was no trace of foul play.
According to police, the cause of death was...
A bee sting?
It seems Kurusu-san was stung
by a wasp as a child.
If a person stung by a wasp gets stung
a second time, it can be fatal.
Kurusu-san was working at her desk, the wasp came in through the window,
being drawn to the music box.
Music box?
It seems there was a citrus-scented
music box on her desk.
Wasps are attracted to the scent of lemon and orange.
We believe this was an accidental death.
Naoto-kun.
The Raindrop Foundation will take care of the arrangements with all our hearts.
Thank you.
Welcome home, Kanji!
Kanji, some coffee?
I used fresh beans.
This one? You've got no taste.
Don't look! It's not finished yet.
Listen carefully, Senkawa Kanji.
You better wear this t-shirt when we go for a stroll on Sunday.
The music box that caused her death,
vanished from her room.
I'm sure Senkawa-san
believes the sender was the murderer.
It touches us too.
I don't know the right words,
but the heartbreak Senkawa must feel, he's had to endure a lot.
Open up!
I know you're in there! Open up!
Did you find Senkawa?
No! Someone's here for Senkawa-san!
- Hey... - Yes?
- You're spilling it. - Sorry.
Sorry.
- Leader of the Fuwa gang? - Gang leader?
Leader?
- Is The Intimidator here or not? - If it's about business, I can...
Last night...
I saw him on the street.
Drive.
Stop!
Where the hell was he going?
Seeing him like that, it's a little worrisome, isn't it?
This is good!
Another round.
Senkawa-san?
You are...
who?
Kanesaka Mio! You don't recognize me?
You still need to rest.
I remember now.
You're that meddling and absurdly honest university student.
What?
- Senkawa-san. - Sunao-san! How'd you find us?
What? They haven't changed.
My sister.
I need to talk to you about her.
Kanesaka Mio,
I want to eat your red bean rice balls.
- Right now? - Right away!
If I say I want them, then I want them.
Sure.
Oh, how radiant the setting sun is!
Grandpa?
'Sunao' from Kurusu Naoto?
To lead an honest life,
My sister named me hoping I'd live by my name.
But you're anything but honest.
Senkawa-san.
I just need 3 minutes of your time.
The day my sister died,
why weren't you by her side?
If you were there, she'd still be alive.
That day,
the so-called client spirited me to Kobe,
so they could kill Wakana.
My absence...
was part of their plan.
Their plan?
Right now Senkawa
is dangerous.
Grandpa! What are you saying?
Have you heard of The Raindrop Foundation?
It's a non-profit volunteer foundation.
Senkawa believes that foundation is responsible for Wakana's death.
His reward for having helped you,
what he asked of me, is in here.
His 4 year old wish will finally come true.
Just before my sister was killed, she was troubled.
She felt someone had betrayed her.
Isn't this quite elegant?
He said the exact same thing! He doesn't want to wear it for my birthday either.
Your boyfriend's brave.
But he threatens people. He could deceive you.
I'm not too sure about that.
No matter what happens, I can trust him.
Though you've only known him a short time?
I think if you flirt with girls,
they're easily swayed by sweet-sounding words.
If there are people who trust those they haven't known long,
then there's also people who don't trust short acquaintances.
They didn't want to know,
but they can't overlook it.
I don't understand...
Don't listen to me.
What gossip do you have for me?
My sister knew she was being betrayed.
And she confronted that person.
Which is why she was killed.
Senkawa-san,
You know it's true, don't you?
Answer me please.
You're planning to avenge my sister's murder, aren't you?
Am I wrong?
Your 3 minutes are up.
That man,
has lived with hatred in his blood.
So much so, you could hardly help him.
Even so, I won't stop trying.
You're so stubborn! Who did you get it from?
Isn't it from you?
I'll leave this,
with you.
Senkawa Kanji
I found Senkawa!
Check nearby cameras.
Isn't that the backdoor of Heartbeat Beef restaurant?
Looks like it.
What happened?
Hang on...
Isn't that the guy who attacked Senkawa?
Who is he?
If I give it to him,
Senkawa Kanji
Senkawa-san will just...
Even so, I have give it to him.
Otherwise, he'll suffer a lot.
Senkawa-san.
I made coarse and smooth ground red bean paste rice balls for you.
And...
Wait please!
Are you going to The Raindrop Foundation?
To take revenge on Tominaga-san?
What's it to you?
I want to go with you.
Aren't we just acquaintances?
a special kind of acquaintance.
Senkawa-san!
From here on,
I will threaten you.
Please don't go.
Otherwise,
I'll be sad.
That was a pretty lame threat.
I found the attacker's license plate number.
RAINDROP FOUNDATION
Raindrop Foundation?
It's done.
Good job.
Please find this person.
Sorry, just a sec!
On the next episode
Lover's revenge, a lonely fight
Watch again on the website!
Will Mio's feelings get through to Senkawa?
The intimidation team's final fight!!
This drama is a work of fiction.
I'll be giving away the show's theme song, my CD single "Let It Snow" to 30 people by lottery.
