Original subtitles

Don't make a fuss.

No way, no way, no way, arma-no-dillo!

Who is he?

Someone from a different company?

First time meeting one.

Tell me everything you know about "K."

K-K... K... K?

Kei Tanaka.

I know you're connected to K.

Who is K?

Ah, b-b-but I, um...

I really don't know anything!

You barely have any communication with the outside.

Do you erase them?

I-I don't have many friends...

Ah, but I do have a f-few...

Are you...

...a newbie?

Huh?

Ah, um, I'm technically, um...

For a mediator, I expected someone with more guts.

I'm sure K would be someone from...

Don't move!

Uh, what now?

Well, how unexpected.

So you're K?

Rats, rats, rats, rats, I'm busted!

If you are really someone who could erase her presence...

Sakurai, why are you here?

I'll take responsibility. I'll call an ambulance.

A robbery happened, you resisted, and you got shot.

Got it?

O-Okay. But...!

Please don't look inside my room.

Happy Kanako's Killer Life

Episode 5

Until you opened the entrance...

You didn't realize you were being followed...

Yes.

And when you resisted,

you got shot with a gun.

Then your boyfriend, who felt something was off, helped you.

No.

Huh?

Boyfriend? Boyfriend.

Yes.

That's a relieve that your boyfriend was nearby.

I'll take responsibility. I'll call an ambulance.

I was too useless...

If he comes back, I'll...

No!

Nishino...

Never do anything dangerous.

Sorry.

Is there a reason why someone might bear a grudge against you?

Like, relationship troubles?

No, not at all.

I don't have any romantic drama like that.

Ah, no.

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Oh! Are you okay?

- Ah, wait. You should... - Go and press that button over there.

Something feels off, though.

Again...?

Huh?!

That's basically stalker behavior, you know.

She said she has a boyfriend.

No, no. That's not what I mean.

I'm saying, does a normal robber bring a gun?

Even if they had one, they'd just use it to threaten and take money, right?

Is that what you mean?

You've got a point.

Let's go see her boyfriend.

Smile Agency Ltd.

Hurry up!

- Where's the details? - It's in the drive!

Thanks!

Where's the Master Gallery?

Ah, it's here!

How about the changes?

- Ah! - Oh, excuse me.

Sakurai, excuse me. Could you check this estimate?

We made it in time!

Thank goodness.

That's a relief.

Okay, this is approved.

Understood.

I'm detective Takehara.

I'm Omori.

Sorry to bother you when you're busy.

No, it's okay.

We made the deadline anyway.

I'm Yazawa, the company president.

He's Sakurai.

Sakurai, what do you do at the company?

Sales.

Sales?

Sales?

Clients love his work.

Even so...

That must have been tough.

Someone important to you got hurt.

Someone important...?

Someone important...?

Sakurai, why were you near Nishino's house at the time of the incident?

Are you cursed to die if you talk?

We had plans to meet at night.

He said he had plans to meet that night.

I see.

I'll get straight to the point.

Is this...

...a romantic entanglement?

That's right.

Do you have any idea?

Actually, a while ago...

Nishino said she felt like a stranger was following her.

Right?

Which means...

There's a third party following Nishino without permission. In other words...

A stalker is a possibility.

A stalker?

Yes.

The police will put all efforts into protecting Nishino.

Thank you.

Yes.

Excuse us.

Ah...

Sorry.

One more thing...

Do you know someone named K?

K?

Crystal Kay?

Never mind. Let's go.

Hey.

This is all way too much delusion.

What do you mean "protecting"?

That's a lie.

Now what?

That president is lying.

About a lot of things. Everything.

Huh?

Your proof?

Intuition.

Let's investigate the whole company.

How great do you think your intuition is?

Thank you very much!

We look forward to working with you again.

That detective is a tough one.

For now, let's make Nishino move.

She must be feeling down too.

Whoa!

It says a designer place costs 400 thousand yen.

Ebisu is really out of the question.

The company is covering moving costs, right?

Why not just go big and say it!

You're right!

Yeah.

Oh, this one isn't bad.

It's in Kichijoji.

1DK, bath and toilet are separate. 80 thousand yen a month.

That's cheap!

Ah, it's 30-minute walk from the station...

Oh, this is Musashi City too.

But the rentals...

Shimokita is nice too.

Oh, this one's cheap. Why?

Something's off about it.

Skip it.

What? But it's in Shimokita...

Kanako.

What's the point of moving from one stigmatized property to another?

True. Right?

Um, excuse me.

Are you sure about this?

Since we can't send you back to a house where the suspect knows,

you'll be staying here until your new place is settled.

Since it's police property, it's safe.

No, no, no, that's bunny ears!

How does a hitman staying at a police house even work?

That's weird, huh?

Thank you very much.

This place makes it easier for us to guard too.

Omori will also stay over.

What?!

Um, I think I'll just...

As long as the suspect is carrying a gun,

if you let your guard down, and you'll get shot again.

Ah, well, but...

Is there a problem with the police being here?

No, not at all.

Let's go.

Come in.

Okay...

Wow~!

How much is the rent here?

What?

Um...

What are you doing?

Preparing documents.

Ah, document prep sounds tough, huh?

I used to pull all-nighters doing that at my old job.

Could you not look without asking?

Sorry.

Omori, what do you do on your days off?

I don't like pointless small talk like that, so I'm usually alone.

I'm sorry.

No way, no way, no way, no snail way!

Why does everyone in this industry talk so little?

Yeah, that's true.

No, it's fine.

Even Sakurai is fine with it.

Um, you're always with Takehara, right?

Like a partner?

Did she just ignore me?

No, there was a reaction.

Really? Is she mad?

Seems like she's not.

Isn't calling him her partner okay?

I see.

Well, Takehara is a good person.

If they weren't, working together would suck.

Right?

They sure get along, huh?

Well, it's not just that...

They probably respect each other.

And help each other out, right?

Same with you with Sakurai.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

That's right.

Yeah.

I'm sure of it!

You like Takehara, don't you?

Ah.

Huh?

Wha...

What?!

How does your brain even work?

I don't like Takehara or anything!

Just so you know, I...

Back in college,

I was chosen as a tour model and stuff!

And in Katsushika, Omori is a big deal!

She's serious.

It's only 9 minutes to this station from his house.

This bus stop...

Good morning!

Oh, Nishino. Have you decided on your new place?

Yes.

The contract is done and I'm planning to move this weekend.

Most likely, since he lives alone, a place good for commuting would be best.

Yeah. Should we stage it as an accident?

A new one?

I'll do it! Since I've grown dull.

Okay.

Alright.

The target is...

Senior Officer, Kazuo Takehara.

Of the investigation...

Wait, hold on!

Takehara?!

Yeah.

This time...

Uh, uh, you see...

Isn't killing him unnecessary?

He's dangerous.

Eventually, he'll figure out the truth.

But...

You don't want to kill him?

That's not it...

You do it.

So then, make it look like an accident.

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Please wait!

I-I'll do it.

I...

I'll kill the hitman who's targeting me. ...

That way, Takehara doesn't have to die, right?

Well, if you can get rid of the hitman...

That should be the priority.

Right?

That's fine, isn't it?

The target this time is a drug broker.

He even sell inferior products to kids.

Nishino, it's your return work.

Sakurai, back her up.

For now, I'm glad Takehara didn't have to die, but...

I still have to take care of that other hitman.

Once I see him...

Hello, my friend.

It's me.

The goods are ready.

So I'm leaving from Narita tomorrow.

No, no, no.

Cash only.

I told you.

Business is business.

Just kidding you!

Found him. I'll begin.

Next time that hitman comes...

I'll do this...

And this...

And this...

This!

And this!

Then this!

It's fine.

You'll feel better soon.

You'll get sleepy...

And die just like that.

You bastard...!

Ah! This is...!

It's that Dyson water drainage thing.

This is it.

What do you think of this?

What?

Is this good?

Yeah...

It sucks up trash?

It's amazing...

I see.

And how about mopping?

How about mopping?!

Mopping?!

They're shiny!

I knew it.

I read the reviews, but...

It's best to ask actual users, right?

Whoa...

Why do you have that?

What is it?

Rimowa!

Huh?

Hey!

Hey!

What do you think of this?

Do you need this size?

I...

I...

I...?

I...

I actually use it a lot.

I see.

I like this color.

Salmon pink?

Huh?

What? Is it wrong?

Papaya...

Orange...

I see! It's the mint green series.

This room sure has everything I want.

You can take them.

No way.

That would be a crime.

Whoa!

This is nice, right?

How are the breads?

Huh?

Hey! Wake up!

How are the bread?!

Even if random...

Random...

Random bread...

They become so fluffy.

So it is amazing.

Should I buy one?

Ah, how about cleaning? The cleaning?

I squirrel mess up...

I'll kill you.

Sakurai...

Don't say that all of a sudden in a place like this.

I know already.

There's no suspicious person.

Sakurai.

We kind of look like Shoplifting G-Men, huh?

Thanks you very...

Sshhhhh.

It would be about three minutes until Sakurai will notice something's off.

I came to check on things today on you.

Impressive.

You're really K.

Interesting.

I did it.

We're in the third floor, K-block.

You should go back

Okay.

Sakurai : There are no suspicious people

As expected of a night moving company.

Next time for sure...

Me-sphinx will kill him!

Ow!

Huh?

A-Are you okay?

Sorry, I'm fine.

I was trimming the flowers and cut my finger.

Oh, hello.

Did you just move in?

Ah, yes.

I'll be in your neighbor from today.

I'm Hosomi.

Hosomi...

I'm Nishino. Nice to meet you.
