Original subtitles

13 November 2019 (Wed)

Makabe-san, you can provide translated subtitles for around 50 movies in a year.

It's like translating 1 movie every week. Tough, isn't it?

I'm used of it. I'm a pro anyway.

Moreover, encounter with a new film...

...is nothing but a happiness for me.

Wow~

I want to be able to say things like "I'm a pro" too.

- Ah, I'm home. - You look pale.

Another stakeout?

I've got a scoop.

- Adultery again? - It's not always about that.

- When was that? - It's from last week.

Since I have to attend another live TV program today...

...I watched this for reference.

- A self-evaluation, huh? - There's nothing to be evaluated though.

- Here. It's released today. - Oh, thank you.

Ah... after taking a bath, I have a meeting to attend. How busy...

Why don't you take a day-off today?

I wonder if it has something to do...

...with reforming your way of working?

Good morning.

- Please welcome Makabe-san. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Ah, here she is.

- Today your Mom looks beautiful too. - Thanks.

- It's already started. - Okay.

How early.

Huh? Only these? You have nothing but these 3?

I'm stuck. Sorry.

You've got 7 days in a week, right?

1 day 1 idea and you'll have 7 materials.

You put out 2 every week and you can save the rest for next weeks!

- Where's your reply?! - Yes, Sir.

Now, the late Kate. Everyone's materials are already here.

Sorry for being late, but I got a scoop after staying up all night.

- I guess you can even put it on the headline. - Okay, too much of forewords.

The popular high-class izakaya Kanisaburo...

...is serving blue king crab as red king crab.

I tailed them from Toyosu and this morning...

...I took a pic of the blue king crab they massively brought...

...to their shop at Akasaka.

So the news you've been chasing is about a fraud?

No complains from any victims so far, so it can't be made into an article yet.

But blue king crab is ALWAYS cheaper than red king crab, right? Don't you think that's cruel?

So it's just about crab. How trivial.

- It's the so-very-popular Kanisaburo, you know? - Is it that popular?

Yeah, it really is.

Though in this country, the people on top can calmly tell lies...

...it's unfair to let those liars win in this world, right?!

Because blue king crab is a blue king crab and never a red king crab.

"Blue king crab is a blue king crab and never a red king crab." Sounds like a tongue-twister. Try saying that.

- Crabby crap... - Look.

Kurokawa-san, why can't we use this?

- Have you got any insider's info? - Of course.

I've got the comment directly from the president's house.

He's a quite shameless guy, so this is superb.

Huh? What?

No way... it wasn't recorded.

Well, let me redo it.

"You don't understand, huh?"

"The customers are happier to think that they're eating red king crab".

- "You don't understand, huh?". - Ah, here it is.

"The customers are happier to think that..."

"...they're eating red king crab. And the shop managers..."

"...are happier to think that they're selling red king crab, right?"

- You sound just like him... - Thanks.

You sound very much like him.

That's great.

We are carrying her to the hospital now. Yes, please.

Anna-san! Anna-san!

Kate-san! Seems like it's a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Quickly!

- Are you her family member? - Yes. - This way.

- She will be transferred to the ICU now. - What?

- Sensei, we are ready to move her to the ICU. - Okay.

- Let's go! - I watched you on TV at work.

Kei-chan...

Did I... look good in my lacy suits...?

Huh? Did you wear lacy suits?

- Did you really watch it...? - Of course!

My editor-in-chief even said, "Today your Mom looks beautiful too"!

Ah... I guess I won't make it...

No way... Stop that.

I have something... I want to tell you.

No need to think of any will, okay?

Father...

Kei-chan, your father is...

...Keanu Reeves.

Wait, I don't get it. Say, what did you just say?

Excuse me, sorry.

Makabe-san, can you hear me? Makabe-san.

- Bring the emergency cart here! - Please!

Mama?

After leaving such puzzling words...

...Mama simply passed away.

Shiranakute Ii Koto

English subtitle by: aoihachi

About the order of the flower tributes, are you okay with this?

- Please exchange this one and this one. - Okay, I understand.

About your mother's picture, is it okay like this?

Yes.

It looks good! It looks good!

Take a good one so I can use it for my funeral, okay?

I'll take the picture for your funeral later.

Nowadays, there are more people died in 3 years after preparing their funerals.

- Don't you know that? - Really?

- Yeah, it's true. - Can you be quiet?

- Ah, okay~ - Okay.

Ah, that's good! Yeah.

What a beautiful picture.

As expected from Odaka-san.

- Did you wonder why I knew it was him? - Yeah, I did.

It's the same like us now. Everyone knows that...

...you and Odaka-san were dating before.

- You'll know just by looking at this picture. - I see.

Makabe-sama.

How many seats would you like us to prepare for your relatives?

- Ah... I have no relatives. It's just me. - Ah, okay.

- Sorry to bother while you're busy. - Oh, what's the matter?

I know it's the wake and funeral service for Makabe family, but is it possible if...

...you and copy editor Kurokawa stand in the front to accompany her?

Why are you saying such things?

Well, she lived only with her mother...

...and she has no other relatives.

I'm okay with that, but what about Kate?

Ah, well... this is my own initiative, actually.

- Don't you think you're out of line? - I'm really sorry.

I will try to talk to Kate about this later.

- Thank you very much. - Yeah.

Actually, just before she passed away...

- ...Mama told me something strange. - Huh?

She said, "Kei-chan, your father is Keanu Reeves".

What does it mean?

I don't know either, but she clearly said that.

Keanu Reeves... that Hollywood star?

Perhaps.

- That "Matrix" star? - Perhaps.

Wasn't it just your mother's joke?

Well... I wonder if you could really joke right before you died.

Huh? What?

Kei-san, it's true that you have beautiful face.

But still, I think it's impossible to think that you are Keanu Reeves's daughter.

- You're right. - Finally you laugh. Thank God.

I'm relieved to see you can finally smile, so I guess it's time for me to go home.

- Huh? You aren't staying? - Yeah.

If I abruptly spend the night here today, your Mom will be unpleasant, right?

Ah... I guess so.

I can't let Mama burnt in jealousy...

...so I will sleep alone tonight.

- Next time, okay? - Yeah.

You worked a lot, huh, Mama?

This is... Keanu?

He looks young here but certainly, it's Keanu Reeves.

A two-shot in Los Angeles.

"Dear Anna, Such an amazing time."

"I want to meet you again."

"It was amazing. Let's meet again. Keanu". Like that?

Film debut in 1985...

Just 1 year after his debut, the 22-years-old Keanu Reeves...

...met Mama in Los Angeles.

1 year after that, I was born...

That's impossible!

20 November (Wed)

Thank you very much.

We've got no testimony from either the driver or the secretary of Minister Inoue about the 100 million fund.

Others might work on it too so let's not publish it now.

- But continue the investigation. - Okay.

"The affair between comedian Tackle Minami and Ikuma Takuma"...

- Who the heck are they? - You don't know them?

Try to post it on the web. If the response is good, we can publish that.

- Good morning. - Oh, Kate.

Huh? She should be in her condolence leave, right?

Huh? The meeting has started?

The fragile aura she had during the funeral has completely gone.

She'll make a comeback by breaking the rules and rushing into the editor's meeting, huh?

Any evidence on the staff room bullying case?

Ah, I'm really sorry for bothering you.

I've got tired of my condolence leave, so I focused on the fraud interview I've been chasing.

- And I found great info... - Wait, wait. Wait a sec.

This is the editing meeting for editors and copy editors.

If you want to propose materials...

...shouldn't you do it through copy editor Kurokawa?

Kuro-san, why don't you control her a bit more?

- She's too much for me to handle. - How great your info is?

Yesterday, in exchange of condolence gift, an ex-detective I knew...

...told me about the whereabouts of the fraud's victim's son who filed the accusation.

Where did that ex-detective work at before?

Until last March, he was working at the main's office investigation dept.

- What a network. - Thanks.

- Then? - Well.

His 70-years-old mother fell in love with a fictional guy she met over the internet...

...and sent 25 million to financially support that guy. I've met her son.

His mother's lover said that he was an American doctor...

...who is now working at Syria refugees camp. But the photo and the details are all fake.

That guy said that he needed money at the camp.

He told my mother various things and made her transfer the money.

At first, it was 3 million. Then 2 million.

In all, it's around 25 million.

It surely decreases your inheritance money, right?

No matter how many times I said that it was a fraud, she wouldn't listen.

"Charles and I are in love with each other," she said.

Have you met the victim herself?

I'm meeting her after this. Since she's a tea master...

- ...I said I came for training! - What?

Excuse me~

In the end, it's not so urgent that she needed to rush into our meeting like that.

No, it's important to prevent fraud.

Can we get back to the previous topic now?

Okay. Tackle Minami and Ikuma Takuma's affair will be on the web.

The article about stopping the staff room bullying will be on the headline.

So you have no experience at all...

- ...about tea ceremonies? - Yes.

My mother passed away few days ago.

I want to spend some peaceful time to help my broken heart and get back what I lost with the death of my mother.

I see...

My deepest condolences.

Please give me your guidance.

Here is the sweets, hatsuyuki.

Sensei...

...I heard beeping sounds a while ago.

While you are preparing the tea...

...am I not allowed to talk to you...?

While the host is doing the tea-ceremony procedures...

...no conversation is allowed between the host and the guests.

But in a historical drama, Sen no Rikyuu and Hideyoshi...

...were talking in a tea room, I guess.

It's true that inside the tea room...

...it's important to behave the way you naturally do.

Do you live here alone, Sensei?

Yes.

Have you ever felt lonely?

After my mother died, living alone in a big mansion...

...somehow makes me feel really lonely.

Humans are lonely beings after all.

I see. In such time, I fully realized how hard it will be for me...

...if I don't have the person I love around.

Do you have no lover?

It's not that I don't have one, though...

So your soul also feels lonely.

- That's why, you should seek for love. - I see.

Sensei, do you also start to seek for love?

For me, I have the way of tea.

This is gonna be tough.

Ah.

Charles!

Oh my goodness!

I'm so sorry! I'm not used of kneeling down for a long time...

- Ah, wait...! - You'll get better this way.

Ouch, ouch, ouch...!

It's because you're not used of it.

If you're used of it, you can even do it for a whole day.

Ah... I'll come again tomorrow!

I want to master the Way of Tea so that I can cope up...

- Aaah! With the loneliness! - Okay, okay...

If it takes you too long, just give up this edition.

Please give me more time. I've got a gut feeling that it will go well.

A detailed report later, okay?

- Don't rush in by yourself like before. - Ah, okay.

- Hello. - Ah, long time no see.

I went to Alaska so I didn't know about your mother.

- Sorry for not even saying any condolences. - It's okay. It was sudden anyway.

So? What did you do in Alaska? Taking pics of polar bear?

- Nope. Moose. - What's that?

It's a rhino-like animal with antlers like deer.

Want to see it? Ah, you're not interested, huh?

- Ah, let me see. - It's okay. Don't force yourself.

Ah, I used the picture of Mama you took before for the funeral.

- Ah, the one I took at Hakone? - Right.

Mama liked it the most and many said it was good at the funeral.

Just like what she said, it was really used for her funeral.

Yeah.

You must feel lonely.

Even though I feel lonely...

...I think it was good that she passed away in such simple way.

She collapsed after the TV program ended...

...and she didn't suffer much. Not so long after I arrived at the hospital, she passed away.

She stayed healthy until old age and passed away painlessly.

But she was still in her 60s, right? She didn't even get a chance to see her grandchild's face.

No way. You said something mainstream...

Mama isn't a type who would dote on her grandchild.

You always know that.

I'm sorry that I can't say anything but mainstream stuffs.

I think they both really look good together.

- Yeah. - I wonder why did they break up?

Well, but Nonaka isn't bad either.

The previous one is absolutely better.

She totally disagrees with me.

- You must feel annoyed. - Hmm? About what?

You should get Kitahata-sensei's manuscript earlier than usual this week.

It will be troublesome if he changes the orientation again.

- Huh? - Are you listening?

Ah, I am. I just sent an e-mail to Kitahata-sensei.

It won't work. You should go there, nag him.

- Won't he be bothered if I do so? - It's because he's bothered that he will write.

- I understand. I'm sorry. - It's okay. Just go now. Go.

- Sorry. - It's okay. Go, go.

Ah, speaking of kneeling down...

...you can put a packing tape under your bottom.

You won't really sit on your legs, so it's much easier.

I see. Packing tape, huh?

- Packing tape, packing tape... - Over there.

Ah, there it is.

How is it?

Ah, it's much easier this way!

Good, I'll use this.

- By the way... - Hmm?

- Tonight, can I drop by to offer incense? - Ah, it's okay, you don't have to.

- Well, if it's a bother for you, okay then. - I don't mean it that way.

Then... I'll be back before 10.

- Okay. I'll come around that hour. - Okay.

Thank you very much.

I didn't get a chance to give you this before.

So I printed it.

If you'd like, I can send you the file as well.

Ah... I'm sorry.

I don't print that to make you cry.

Thank you. You took it very beautifully.

As expected from you, Odaka-san.

- Did you drive here? - Yeah.

- I'll make you coffee then. - Ah, you don't need to. I'm going home.

Ah...

There's something I want to tell you.

Okay.

There's nothing left other than this...

...so there is no proof that Mama and Keanu saw each other for a long time.

But it's true that in 1986, they both met each other in LA.

If she was pregnant around that time...

If your mother told you that right before she passed away...

...it must be true, then.

That's such a great thing, right? Being Keanu Reeves' child.

- But we don't look alike at all. - Well, that's because...

...your mother's DNA is dominating.

If you were living in the US...

...perhaps your face would look more like Keanu Reeves.

What...?

- That's a good thing, right? Just believe it. - A good thing? Really?

Of course. It's "Matrix", right?

Ah... "Matrix", huh?

Well, even though you are Keanu's daughter...

...Makabe Kate is Makabe Kate.

Just live your life to the fullest like you always do.

Today too, your passion is rising like a smoke from your head.

My passion is raising from my head?

Yeah, it is. Boom! Like that.

- Well then, I'll keep it up. - Yeah.

Now, let's learn about Shin bow.

Put your both hand in front of your knees.

Extend your back...

...and bow so that your stomach touches your knees.

Your elbow must be on the tatami mat.

Your nose must be inside the triangle shaped by your both hands.

Your bottom must not be raised.

Then, slowly get back.

Shin bow is used when you are looking at the scroll at the tea room...

...and when you are thanking the host.

Next, it's Gyo bow.

Put your both palms on the tatami mat...

...and bend down your upper body.

The last one is So bow.

Put down your fingertips only, then lightly bow your head.

So bow is used when the host is performing the tea-ceremony procedures...

...and also when you greet your fellow guests.

Well then, please practice the bows by yourself, starting from Shin bow.

I will be back shortly.

Excuse me.

What happen!

"There was a bombing at the camp"...

His leg! "I got a serious injury on my leg!".

"I need money for medical treatment or I will lose my leg!".

"I love you. Emmy, please help me".

I will help you!

"I need 1 million yen immediately".

"Emmy, please transfer it to my account".

Okay. Okay, okay.

964964.

Huh, what?

What is this?

What's wrong?

Freezing? It's freezing...?

Um... what's the matter?

Ah...

You work at a publisher, right?

Yes.

- Do you understand computers? - Well... a bit.

- Please... fix this. - Um...

I need to transfer the money as soon as possible or he will lose his leg!

Lose his leg?

I can't tell you the details. Quickly fix this.

Well then, let me try it...

I want to transfer money through the net.

Ah, shouldn't you just call the support center?

It's for Charles' treatment cost!

It's a race against time!

Charles? Who is that?

Ah...

It's this person. A doctor with high aspirations.

Ah... excuse me.

With your permission, let me look up for this person.

Sensei.

This man isn't Charles. Look, the name is different.

I don't care about that! Just fix it!

By using random photos from internet...

...someone is trying to deceive you, Sensei!

Isn't this what people call bank transfer scam?

Everyone told me that.

My son also said the same thing.

But Charles isn't such person!

- He's a splendid person! - What I'm saying is...

...it's not Charles who received the money you transferred...

...but a fraudulent Japanese organization!

If I don't transfer it, Charles will lose his leg!

- Sensei, you're being deceived! - Enough!

If you can't fix my computer, just get out from here.

That person you call Charles doesn't exist in this world!

I've interviewed your son and the Metropolitan Police Dept.

I'm investigating about this type of scam.

You work... at a publisher, right?

I work for "Weekly East" by Tougen Publishing Company.

That's why I'm very well-informed about this.

You work for "Weekly East"?

Yes.

That "Weekly East" which gain profits...

...from meddling thoughtlessly into people's privacy...

...and exposing people's secrets?!

Wait, I have an objection for your opinion...

Shut up!

You are going to write about me in amusing way, right?

You're making fun of me who is modestly and earnestly living my life...

You are truly a terrible person!

I know for sure that I'm not being deceived!

You are expelled!

Please leave.

I said, leave!

- Get out! - Please open your eyes, Sensei!

- Get out! - Wait...!

Sensei!

"Sorting Mama's stuffs"

Is it here?

Mama's graduation thesis?

"Steinbeck".

I never read this before.

Kate is the name of a character in "East of Eden".

I never heard anything about that...

"T to A 1985".

A for Anna.

Keanu... K.

T...?

Sorry to make you wait. Normally, I can't tell you...

...about the private information of our customer.

But since it's something from 34 years ago...

...I'll make an exception and give you some information.

Thank you very much.

The one who ordered that ring was Notoa Toru-sama.

Notoa Toru?

Notoa Toru.

I feel like I've heard of it somewhere...

Where was it?

"Incoming call: Kurokawa Masahiko"

Yes?

The story of an amateur doctor deceiving a granny.

Finish it tomorrow or I'm not accepting it!

- How could you! - You rushed into the editors' meeting for that, right?

You've got to pay for that by finishing it! Understand?!

Okay.

It went well yesterday, so I'll make the most interesting story out of it!

- I'm on my way there now. - Good! I'm counting on you!

Ah, geez...

I'm freezing.

"Notoa Toru"

"Indiscriminate murder"

"An indiscriminate murder case in a mid-summer camp"

"The murderer is a university professor, Notoa Toru"

Mama told me that I was Keanu Reeves' daughter.

But the one who gave her the ring was Notoa Toru.

Am I...

...a murderer's daughter?

"A leading scholar in the research of Steinbeck"

Steinbeck...

"Steinbeck"

Steinbeck...

Kate...

- Haru-kun! - Hmm?

Huh? What's wrong?

I don't know where I should start...

Calm down.

It's okay, it's okay.

You'll be okay.

I'm here with you. Okay?

Come on.

Hmm? What?

- I... - Mm-hmm.

Maybe I'm not Keanu Reeves' daughter.

- I know that. - But that's...

It's... it's not only that...

Calm down.

Kei-san.

Let's get married.

Let's be together forever.

So you don't have to be worried on your own.

Let's get married.

But I...

...I'm not Keanu Reeves' daughter...

Yeah, I know that. I don't care about that.

But...

I want to live my life together with you, Kei-san.

I want to marry you.

Even though I'm a daughter of a murderer?

I'm... not Keanu Reeves' daughter...

...but a murderer's daughter.

According to these, on March 1980...

...your mother graduated from British and American Literature Dept. of Keiei Univ.

Her graduation thesis was about Steinbeck's "East of Eden".

After that, Notoa Toru became a professor in the same university.

Notoa's specialty was also Steinbeck.

In 1985, your mother received a ring from Notoa.

2 years after that, on 10 August 1987, your mother gave birth of a baby girl.

The baby was named after a character in "East of Eden".

The name is Kate.

3 years later, on August 1990...

...an indiscriminate murder case happened at a summer camp.

Notoa Toru was arrested as the murderer.

Every bits and pieces are connected, right?

Haru-kun...

...can you still marry me even though I'm a murderer's daughter?

Of course I can.

It doesn't matter whoever your father is.

Really?

Really. You don't need to worry.

From now on, I'll protect you, Kei-san.

Can you love me even though I'm like this?

Even if you were a prime minister's or a celebrity's daughter...

No matter whose daughter you are, I will love you.

Thank you.

I hit the rock bottom yesterday.

But today I'm on the top!

Oh no, I'm too excited...

Mama, good morning.

I will be happy.

That's why, don't worry.

- Good morning. - Ah, good morning.

- You're early. - Yeah.

What?

Nothing~

This is it!

Hello!

Wasn't I expelled you already?

I'm really sorry about the other day.

I understand your feeling, Sensei.

What do you understand?

The feeling when someone tells you that he loves you.

I want to talk about love with you, Sensei.

Then, I will ask you once again.

My computer has been fixed.

I had transferred the money too.

Sensei...

...so you bought "I love you" with your money.

Because the words "I love you" can pull someone up...

...from the rock bottom to the top.

Yesterday, I was also saved by the words of love.

I know people often say that "Love isn't about money"...

...but if it were sold somewhere, I think I would bought it too.

From now on too, please buy more and more words of love.

It's the money you earned by yourself.

So it's unreasonable for your son to complain about it.

You can use it up to buy love.

I think that's an amazing way to live as well.

Before, I told you rude things without understanding your feeling.

Please forgive me.

When I woke up in the morning...

...I always thought...

..."Ah, today, I have to live for another one day again".

I always lived with such depressed feeling before, until last year.

That time, for the first time after so many years...

...I finally feel it again around here...

...like my heart skipped a beat.

I understand that heart-pounding feeling.

When I read those words, "I love you, Emmy"...

...I feel it here...

I can understand!

If you buy the love while accepting that lie, you might be able to continue your life.

But we have to save those people who buy it without knowing that it's just a lie.

Sensei.

Would you mind...

...if I write your love story as an article for "Weekly East"?

I'd be glad about that.

You can write it as you like.

Thank you very much!

More than those heart-pounding movies...

...this can really make me cry.

Thanks.

But how do you think public will react to this?

It's like romanticizing...

- ...how you can use money to buy love, right? - I agree.

In the end, the old lady stopped sending money, so it still serves the purpose of preventing fraud.

No problem then. Besides...

...people can fall in love no matter how old they are.

To think that elderly people are withering are wrong.

Even though you've got a brilliant job...

...have a precious family and also a heap of money...

...it won't be enough to satisfy your heart.

It's in the love where you can find the source of life.

I can feel the writer's personality in this peculiar perspective.

This is a wonderful article! You did a great job, Kate.

Thanks.

27 November (Wed)

"The true feeling of a lady who spent 26 million yen to buy the words of love: a love fraud without borders"

Hello... Oh.

- Congrats for the scoop. - Ah, thank you.

Your page in this edition is the best too!

"Photographer: Odaka Yuichiro"

- It's impactful. - He-he... thank you.

- Do you have a moment? - Hmm?

Okay.

- I'm thinking of getting married. - To Nonaka?

- Yeah. - Congrats.

I'll congratulate Nonaka too later.

He's absent today due to a cold. He's weak, so he took day-off right away.

How harsh, in spite of you're going to marry him after this.

Before I get married, I want to properly know about something.

Mm-hmm.

It's about Notoa Toru.

There's such person too, huh?

That time, why did you take pictures of Notoa Toru?

I have forgotten that.

I always forget about the job I got in the past.

You lie.

My father isn't Keanu Reeves but Notoa Toru.

- You knew that, right, Odaka-san? - I don't know such thing.

You always hide something from me, Odaka-san.

Odaka!

- Huh? Am I bothering you? - Nope.

The photoshoot for Cutie Kashiwabara has been approved!

- For real? - For real.

Yay. Bye.

I've met the person herself just now.

- She's got zero NG. - Wow, zero NG...

"The indiscriminate murder demon! Notoa Toru is released"

"Photographer: Odaka Yuichiro"

Here, 300 yen. Thanks~

Thank you.

Haru-kun.

Are you alright already?

Um...

We have to talk.

Okay.

It's about the marriage.

I think... I can't marry you after all.

What?

I really like you, Kei-san. I love you.

I keep thinking that it doesn't matter whoever your father is...

But when I think about our children later...

...I can't stop worrying about that gene our children will carry.

Because if I get married, I want to have children for sure.

It will be lonely to have no children.

I'm sorry.

Let's pretend we never talked about marriage.

I won't tell anyone about what you've told me.

I will keep your secret.

I'm sorry.
