[salon attendant] How do you like the finish, ma'am?

They're beautiful.

Perfect for my vacation in Hawaii next month.

[salon attendant] A vacation in Hawaii? I'm jealous.

Yes. I've been working without a break

so I'm rewarding myself.

[attendant] Are you going with your family?

No.

I can't bring my daughter-in-law and her child. They're staying home.

It's just me and my son. [giggles]

- I see. I hope you have fun. - [cell phone rings]

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Yudai, what is it?

What?

He died?

He just passed away. Minori contacted me.

[Hiromi] Really?

The day has finally come.

Yeah. It's finally here, Mom.

[minister chanting]

I recognize that man.

I think he's the chairman of Tsukishiro Group.

Mr. Tsukishiro.

[ominous music plays]

[whispers] Mom, why is he here?

I don't know.

[Minori] You two are probably still not aware

of what...

is about to happen.

[ominous music continues]

Grandpa.

I have to do this.

This man wrecked Mom's life.

These two wrecked my life.

Soon...

I'll destroy all of them.

[theme music playing]

UNTIL I DESTROYED MY HUSBAND'S OTHER FAMILY

- Here, Tsubasa. - Thanks.

- Where's Mom? - She has things to do.

You have to wait a bit, okay?

Okay.

Yudai. Come here for a second.

What is it?

What are Minori and that man talking about?

That's what I want to know. How does she know him anyway?

- [Hiromi] Why don't you go take a look? - [Yudai] You go, Mom.

How about letting Tsubasa go look?

[Minori] I heard everything from my grandfather.

About my mother.

About the money.

And...

the fact that you are my father.

I have no intention of pretending to be family with you.

But...

There is something I really need to know.

The day my mother died...

she went to see you, didn't she?

Why did my mother

have to get into that accident?

Why did she have to die?

I knew

I'd have to tell you some day

about what happened to Miyuki

and the reason why you were born.

This is the finest quality, one of a kind.

It's beautiful.

Please feel free to take time and look closely at them.

Sorry, can I have some water?

[man] Mr. Tsukishiro.

- May I have a moment? - Mm.

I want to introduce Ms. Kume, a salesperson at our Yokohama branch.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Miyuki Kume.

[Tsukishiro] When I met Miyuki for the first time

I was captivated by her smile.

Here.

I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL.

- What? - If you don't mind.

Honey, your father wants you.

Yes, I'll be right there.

[Tsukishiro] Rather

I couldn't help but be captivated.

[Tsukishiro] I knew it was forbidden.

But when I was with her

the burden of responsibility as the heir

and the frustration with a political marriage

I felt as though I can escape it all.

Sir, Ms. Kume is here.

Thanks.

I'm pregnant.

What?

[Miyuki] I don't know...

what to do.

I'm sorry.

[Tsukishiro] Miyuki.

Thank you.

[Tsukishiro] I was happy.

It might have been a thorny path

but I thought I could

overcome the obstacles with her.

But...

SUSUMU TSUKISHIRO'S FIRST SCANDAL FORBIDDEN LOVE & A BABY?

- What in the... - You're a disgrace to our family.

Do you know how much I had to pay to stop this article?

You must break up with that woman.

Immediately.

I don't want to.

- I'd rather leave this family than-- - Your words are worthless.

Listen, Susumu.

You should know

that destroying one woman's life

is easy for me.

[Tsukishiro] In the end...

I couldn't protect Miyuki.

I am responsible for everything.

It was all...

due to my selfish actions.

I regret it.

Why couldn't I

choose Miyuki at that moment?

Please stop.

[Minori] What my mother did was unforgivable.

And so she brought it on herself.

Karma got her in the end, as they say.

After all

- she had an affair. - That's not true.

It's true!

It's true.

Miyuki died...

because of me.

[Tsukishiro] Five years had passed since then.

[Miyuki] Susumu.

[Tsukishiro] Miyuki suddenly came to see me.

Miyuki. What are you doing here?

I have a favor to ask.

I want you to meet Minori just once.

Minori?

[Tsukishiro] Is this girl...

Minori is feeling so lonely.

It was her birthday the other day, and when I asked her what she wanted

she said, "Daddy."

Sir, it's time for your next appointment.

Sir.

- [Miyuki] Wait. - You said I wouldn't have to see her.

It's over between us.

Don't cling to me like this.

Please don't go!

Susumu! Wait!

- [engine revving] - [tires screeching]

- [horn honks] - [thumps]

[somber music plays]

I apologize

for what I've done to you.

I'm so sorry.

She did it...

for me?

Mom...

[gasps]

Mom...

[sobs] Mom.

Mom...

Mom...

[sobbing]

[Tsubasa] Mommy!

[Minori] Tsubasa.

Mommy, are you crying?

I'm not crying.

I just had dust in my eyes.

Are you okay? Let me see.

[chuckles]

I'm okay. Thank you.

Tsubasa.

Can you wait outside just a little bit more?

I'll be with you in a minute.

Huh?

- Okay? - Okay.

Okay.

Such a cute boy.

Yes.

My son is the most precious thing to me.

For the rest of my life

I intend to atone for what I did by making sure you live comfortably.

[indistinct whisper]

Atone?

I'll do anything I can.

Then...

could you do

me a favor?

[tense music plays]

[line rings]

[Muto] Are you calling Ms. Kume?

- Hey. Give it back. - I thought so.

I went to see Ms. Kume and warned her

that seducing a minor is a crime.

Why did you do that?

Because

I saw you

coming out of Ms. Kume's house.

It was weird.

It didn't look like a normal relationship.

Again...

- it shouldn't matter to you. - It matters!

Why do you have feelings for someone you can't be with?

Why can't you choose me?

Sorry.

Forget it.

What? Minori is the daughter of the chairman of Tsukishiro Group?

I know this sudden revelation must be unbelievable.

I found out just recently, too.

Why did you keep such important information from us?

You have to forgive me. I didn't believe it at first either.

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

We just heard it now

and we're thoroughly surprised.

Thank you for telling us.

So.

What were you talking about with the chairman?

We were...

talking about money in the future.

I see.

Your grandfather just passed away.

It must have been hard.

We're here to help you with any problems you might have.

That's right.

Don't try to fix everything by yourself.

He's right.

We're your family, after all.

[tense music plays]

Yes, you are.

We're family after all.

[Hiromi] Yes.

That's why you should rely on us more.

Especially about money.

About money?

Yes.

It's not just my problem.

Yes. There's Tsubasa, too.

Thank you.

I'll be asking you for advice if I need help.

[ominous music plays]

[Hiromi] It's been a long wait.

But this way of living is coming to an end.

Soon, my dream will come true!

CALL IN PROGRESS

- [guard] Yes. - Hello!

I'm Kisaragi from Smile Home Service.

[Hiromi] I'm proud of myself

for working so hard to get this.

That's why

I feel like God is acknowledging my efforts up to this point.

Hello. I'll be helping you with housework again today.

- Oh, hold on. - Yes?

Actually, we suddenly need to move overseas

because of my husband's work.

I'm sorry, but today will be your last day.

Uh, you mean--

We'll be sure to pay you for today's work.

- Wait, um... - I'm really sorry.

Wait a minute.

Huh?

[Hiromi] Wha... what was that?

How disrespectful, all of a sudden.

Oh, well, I guess it was good timing.

Pretty soon

I'll be in a position where I won't have to work ever again.

I'm following my heart No matter how selfish

- My love, I'll never hurt you-- - [Kusunoki] Huh? Wait a minute.

Was there some kind of mistake on our part?

Um, may I ask what the reason is?

Hello?

What's the matter?

This client wants to suspend all transactions with us.

Huh? Which client?

All restaurants affiliated with Tsukishiro Group.

Tsukishiro Group? For what reason?

[Kusunoki] I asked, but they weren't clear about it.

This has never happened before.

Huh? What do you mean "terminated"?

I'm so sorry.

- Sorry. - Some other time.

Huh?

I wonder what he did.

Beats me.

But losing the deal with Tsukishiro Group is a big loss.

How is Mr. Kisaragi going to remedy this?

Chief. Are you okay?

Yeah.

What made them decide to do that so suddenly?

There were no complaints, so it's strange.

We're in trouble...

Chief.

There's someone here to see you.

Wataru?

Why...

What brings you all the way here?

Who's that?

Mr. Kisaragi's son?

I don't think so. His son is five years old.

Wataru?

I want you to break up with Mom.

What?

I want you to break up with my mother.

Break up? What does he mean?

You've got to take good care of your wife.

"Your wife?"

Are you having an affair?

- [colleague 1] What? - [colleague 2] Is he having an affair?

[suspenseful music plays]

Chief?

What the hell are you saying?

I don't want you to

torment my mother any more.

I don't know what you're talking about, Wataru.

Let's talk privately.

Do you really love Mom?

Enough. Come with me now--

You can't divorce your wife, right?

Even though you promised you'll marry Mom.

- That's enough, Wataru! - Right back at you!

In the end, you were all talk.

What's with this

ungrateful attitude after all I've done for you?

[snickering]

[Wataru] What a terrible thing to say.

I totally understand now.

I can't let you take care of Mom, or the baby on the way.

I can't trust you with them.

No, it's not what you think.

[laughs awkwardly] Just forget what you saw.

[Yudai] Why...

[Hiromi] Something is wrong.

[indistinct whisper]

Things started to go wrong from that day.

Everything happened since that day.

Coming.

Oh, Hiromi. What brings you here?

I was passing by, and decided to visit to see Tsubasa's face.

Oh, I see.

- Tsubasa will be happy - Thanks.

Please come in.

Thank you for letting me in.

But Hiromi, wasn't today the day you have work?

Well

about that.

I quit my job.

I'm taking a break for a while. I've been working for a long time.

You quit?

Um... Uh...

You... were... forced... to... quit. Isn't that the truth?

What?

[chuckles] I mean, you were fired. Right?

You...

You were

responsible for all this, weren't you?

[discordant music plays]

Yes! I did it!

Wh... why would you do that?

Why?

You were the one who betrayed me first, weren't you?

If you want another job

why don't you go ask the Tsukishiro family?

Why?

The big corporation you were talking about.

It was the Tsukishiro family, wasn't it?

What... what are you saying?

Susumu Tsukishiro gladly agreed to cooperate.

He was holding a grudge against you, too.

[Tsukishiro] This woman.

She is...

my mother-in-law.

[Minori] It was you who sold the story of his affair to a magazine.

He had no idea that the woman who sold the story

was someone close to me.

Did you want money so desperately you didn't care whom you destroyed?

That wasn't my intention!

[tense music plays]

But, Hiromi...

You got ahead of yourself a bit, didn't you?

You signed up for a beauty clinic.

You planned an overseas vacation.

And you went to a nail salon, a bit prematurely.

Unfortunately

you're not getting any money at all.

So please abandon

all the dreams you had.

[laughs]

You tricked me! Didn't you?

Tricked you?

[laughs]

This is the way you treat me right at the last moment?

After all that I did for you?

- Mommy! - [screams] Shut up!

I hate you, Grandma! Go away!

- You brat! - [Minori] I'm glad

that Tsubasa hates you now.

Which means

I can cut ties with you without any regrets.

[tense music plays]

[Minori laughs]

[Minori] It was satisfying.

I was hoping to see

that face distorted in despair.

[laughing]

Is what I am doing

the right thing?

[cell phone rings]

Wataru? How was it?

[Wataru] Can I...

talk to you now?

It's fine. How was it?

When Yudai said...

that I'm ungrateful after all he's done for me...

I realized.

This person...

didn't really care...

about me or my mother.

[sniffles, cries]

Realizing that fact...

was shocking to me.

But...

I also hurt Yudai.

I know I shouldn't be saying this to you.

But I...

I liked Yudai a lot.

[Wataru crying]

I can imagine how much harder

this is for you, Minori.

[Wataru sobs]

Minori.

I'm on your side.

I hope you believe it, no matter what.

Someday

I'll become a man who could support you.

When that time comes...

I hope

you'll see me again.

Goodbye, then.

[somber music plays]

[line clicks]

What I'm doing...

is the right thing.

What I'm doing...

is the right thing.

I'm...

- COME HOME. LET'S TALK. - NO RESPONSE.

ARE YOU EATING PROPERLY? DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY?

WHERE ARE YOU? I'M WORRIED. CALL ME.

Wataru.

[cell phone rings]

YUDAI

[ringing continues]

[Yudai grumbles] Why aren't you answering?

[sighs]

[cell phone vibrates]

WHERE ARE YOU? CALL ME.

WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME WHEN I'M IN TROUBLE?

AREN'T YOU WORRIED ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?

I'm home.

[Minori] Hi. You're late today.

Yeah. I was busy at work.

You haven't eaten yet, have you?

I made rice cooked with eggplant.

- You like eggplant, don't you? - Uh...

Yeah.

[Yudai] Thanks for the meal.

Mm.

- It's good. - Really?

I'm glad.

By the way...

Hmm?

Did you...

hear anything?

Hmm?

Like what?

Um... Never mind.

Which is more delicious?

Hmm?

My cooking

or Riko's cooking?

What?

Wh... what are you saying?

You eat her cooking every week

with your other family, right?

[closing theme music playing]

Hey.

Which is better?

Wait...

Are you okay?

Minori. Let me explain.

It's too late to panic now.

Didn't your mother tell you?

Mom?

HIROMI KISARAGI: MISSED CALL YUDAI! CONTACT ME IF YOU SEE THIS!

MINORI KNOWS EVERYTHING.

Everything?

Yes.

Everything!

I know everything.

Wait. It's not like that.

I just lost myself for--

Boom!

You just lost yourself

for more than ten years?

And so you were cheating on me

with a high school classmate?

For more than ten years

you continued to betray me and Tsubasa!

Minori, calm down. Let's talk this through.

[panting]

[panting]

You're not going to divorce me, are you?

W... we have to think about Tsubasa.

Tsubasa?

Why don't you worry instead

about the baby that's going to be born?

[Yudai] Huh?

You know it's not easy raising a child.

It requires so much money.

Do you think you can keep working at your job

even if they knew you were having an affair?

How do you know that...

No. You didn't ask Wataru to...

[ominous music plays]

[Minori] Are you sure you're okay?

You seem to have been relying on my assets.

Too bad.

[Yudai] Minori.

Minori.

Hey.

Aren't you worried? Your mother seems to have a lot of debts, too.

Minori.

Anyway, let's have a talk.

We've come this far

together, right?

[ominous music continues]

You're right.

We were...

together...

for a very long time.

Yeah.

That's why...

we should...

start over.

I apologize.

Minori.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Yudai.

Lift your head.

DIVORCE CERTIFICATE

[Minori] You and I

are getting a divorce.

Infidelity is not a crime?

Stop messing with me!

You're the one messing with me!

We're unrelated, you know.

I love you.

[Yudai] I want you to believe me.
