1
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:20,895
LET'S GET DIVORCED

2
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:29,738
Remember when we went
and got our marriage license?

3
00:00:30,238 --> 00:00:31,990
Yeah, I remember.

4
00:00:32,907 --> 00:00:34,909
We fought over it, and we ripped it.

5
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:39,914
The guy at City Hall taped it together.

6
00:00:42,792 --> 00:00:45,003
I think us ripping it was bad luck.

7
00:00:49,174 --> 00:00:50,300
It was fate.

8
00:00:53,219 --> 00:00:54,219
What?

9
00:00:55,513 --> 00:00:56,513
Hmm?

10
00:00:57,182 --> 00:00:58,349
What'd you say?

11
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:03,730
It's low tide.

12
00:01:20,455 --> 00:01:22,082
I'm going right to sleep.

13
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:24,542
You're not telling your mom?

14
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:25,626
Right now?

15
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:29,214
I think if you tell her now,
it would really be ready for everyone.

16
00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:30,507
But she's sleeping.

17
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:31,883
Just wake her up.

18
00:01:31,966 --> 00:01:33,468
Are you really serious?

19
00:01:34,552 --> 00:01:36,262
Hmm, well, okay, your choice.

20
00:01:36,346 --> 00:01:37,346
Fine.

21
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:52,152
Huh?

22
00:01:53,321 --> 00:01:54,364
What is it?

23
00:01:54,864 --> 00:01:56,199
Sorry, did I wake you?

24
00:01:58,368 --> 00:01:59,619
Is Yui here too?

25
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,873
Yeah. Excuse me.

26
00:02:09,003 --> 00:02:12,340
Actually, Taishi and I

27
00:02:13,675 --> 00:02:15,135
have gotten divorced.

28
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:18,805
Oh, what's going on?

29
00:02:19,681 --> 00:02:22,392
You lost the election,
and you got divorced.

30
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:24,268
Huh?!

31
00:02:25,103 --> 00:02:26,396
You're divorced?

32
00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:31,693
I know there wasn't much
we could do about your divorce.

33
00:02:31,776 --> 00:02:33,611
That occurring couldn't be helped.

34
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:38,950
However, the unborn child
is of the Shoji bloodline,

35
00:02:40,201 --> 00:02:41,995
so you must hand it over.

36
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:45,248
No, I'm going to raise the baby.

37
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:48,877
If I give you our child,

38
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,131
you'll only raise it to be a politician,
and that's definitely not what I want.

39
00:02:55,216 --> 00:02:56,384
I mean, with Taishi,

40
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:58,428
when we first met,

41
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:01,723
he was a normal, kindhearted man.

42
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,685
If you hadn't forced him
into a life in government,

43
00:03:06,269 --> 00:03:08,104
he wouldn't have ended up so weird.

44
00:03:09,147 --> 00:03:10,732
<i>Am I weird? Wow.</i>

45
00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:14,444
He wanted to get free from the future
that was forced on him.

46
00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:16,279
I mean, Mimata was a part of all that.

47
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:17,697
<i>Really?</i>

48
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:22,744
I don't want this child
to be born under that kind of pressure.

49
00:03:23,786 --> 00:03:28,541
I want my baby to choose
whatever path that they want to follow.

50
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:32,045
- And I agree with her.
- Taishi!

51
00:03:32,837 --> 00:03:34,505
You know better than to say that!

52
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:38,176
Um, well, I want our baby
to be raised with freedom too.

53
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,887
I want the baby to be with Yui

54
00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:43,181
and to be able to become their own person.

55
00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:45,266
- Thanks.
- Don't you thank him!

56
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:48,937
Go get married again! Do it right now!

57
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:52,065
I recall you pushing us
to get this divorce.

58
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:58,238
Oh! I can't do this anymore.

59
00:03:58,321 --> 00:04:00,990
I'm going back to Tokyo.
I'll go crazy if I stay here.

60
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:03,618
- Saotome, arrange a flight for me.
- Yes.

61
00:04:03,701 --> 00:04:05,578
- Yes, right away, ma'am.
- Oh!

62
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:18,967
Morning! Excuse me.

63
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:20,468
We're not open yet.

64
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:24,389
Hello. I'm Taishi Shoji's mother.

65
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:27,642
Ah!

66
00:04:28,142 --> 00:04:31,104
Those were very exciting proceedings.

67
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:32,772
Good job with that.

68
00:04:32,855 --> 00:04:35,984
We're definitely going to take back
that government seat. We're expecting it.

69
00:04:36,067 --> 00:04:36,901
Ah.

70
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,320
I'm here for another reason.
It seems that...

71
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:42,824
Yui said she won't be asking
for alimony or child support.

72
00:04:42,907 --> 00:04:46,911
She said she can't take anything
from her now-unemployed ex-husband.

73
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:49,372
I regret to tell you
that we'll also be stopping

74
00:04:49,455 --> 00:04:52,542
the rent support payments
we've been sending you monthly.

75
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:53,960
That's fine.

76
00:04:54,043 --> 00:04:57,547
My daughter has a lot of financial power.

77
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:01,968
This should be the point
when you're saying,

78
00:05:02,051 --> 00:05:04,512
"Thank you very much
for supporting us all."

79
00:05:05,596 --> 00:05:06,431
Is that so?

80
00:05:06,514 --> 00:05:08,599
Have you forgotten? I support all of you!

81
00:05:09,851 --> 00:05:12,729
Isn't that a bit
of a give-and-take, though?

82
00:05:13,229 --> 00:05:16,733
You said that you wanted to support us,
so we took your money.

83
00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:18,109
Wow!

84
00:05:18,192 --> 00:05:21,904
You benefit from Yui Kurosawa
being his wife, don't you?

85
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:25,366
So don't be so patronizing.

86
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:28,786
Even with your Yui as his wife,
he still lost.

87
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:32,081
That is exactly the reason
why you should be grateful.

88
00:05:32,874 --> 00:05:34,751
You really don't get it, huh?

89
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,129
If this is about money,

90
00:05:38,212 --> 00:05:39,212
you can leave.

91
00:05:43,301 --> 00:05:44,552
Well, all right, then.

92
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:47,597
I will take my leave.

93
00:05:53,478 --> 00:05:56,147
Even just this morning,
when they came to talk to me,

94
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:58,649
what I didn't know was how to process

95
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:02,195
why your Yui had become
such an ungrateful person.

96
00:06:02,695 --> 00:06:04,322
But you have answered that.

97
00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:06,866
Now I'll take my leave.

98
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:19,712
- That's all. Thank you.
- We'll take care of it.

99
00:06:36,354 --> 00:06:37,814
Thank you very much.

100
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:50,660
Thanks also...

101
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:54,205
...for your support.

102
00:06:55,873 --> 00:06:56,873
Ah.

103
00:06:58,459 --> 00:07:01,462
Your mother and you are very different.

104
00:07:06,467 --> 00:07:10,763
Well, I really wanted to be like you.

105
00:07:12,056 --> 00:07:15,518
I suppose, though I tried,
I wasn't quite able to do it.

106
00:07:18,187 --> 00:07:19,564
I really love

107
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:23,067
all the people in this family.

108
00:07:30,575 --> 00:07:32,785
After just one marriage interview,

109
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:34,996
without knowing if I liked him,

110
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:36,581
I became a Shoji.

111
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:41,961
The elections every few years
were so stimulating for me.

112
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:44,380
I felt so passionate then.

113
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:47,008
At those times,

114
00:07:47,091 --> 00:07:50,887
my connection with Kiichiro
would become so much deeper.

115
00:07:51,637 --> 00:07:53,389
I know that experience a bit.

116
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:01,022
And my husband...

117
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,818
...was wonderful in bed
during the elections.

118
00:08:05,902 --> 00:08:07,862
Oh! It made up for a lot.

119
00:08:11,949 --> 00:08:13,743
I thought to myself often

120
00:08:14,243 --> 00:08:17,246
that I'd be happy for the rest of my life

121
00:08:18,122 --> 00:08:20,208
just helping him win elections.

122
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:27,465
I can't believe he died so young.

123
00:08:28,549 --> 00:08:29,549
Mm.

124
00:08:33,262 --> 00:08:36,766
Anyway, take good care of yourself

125
00:08:36,849 --> 00:08:38,434
and have a healthy baby.

126
00:08:45,107 --> 00:08:46,107
Yeah.

127
00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:59,413
Also, um, I should say goodbye
to your husband here at his altar.

128
00:09:00,414 --> 00:09:01,457
Is that okay?

129
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,043
Yes, of course.

130
00:09:41,914 --> 00:09:43,791
<i>The next time I saw Yui</i>

131
00:09:44,792 --> 00:09:46,168
<i>was four months later.</i>

132
00:09:48,045 --> 00:09:49,672
What did the doctor say?

133
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:51,507
I haven't spoken
to the doctor yet.

134
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:52,842
Next week. That's right.

135
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:54,552
- Oh, uh... Hello.
- Oh!

136
00:09:54,635 --> 00:09:56,238
- The delivery room?
- Oh, it's over there!

137
00:09:56,262 --> 00:10:00,391
- Ah, okay.
- Uh, but Yui's in her own room.

138
00:10:00,474 --> 00:10:01,474
What?

139
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:09,984
Mm.

140
00:10:12,653 --> 00:10:14,488
Oh! Taishi!

141
00:10:15,489 --> 00:10:16,991
Ah.

142
00:10:17,074 --> 00:10:19,285
It's been a while.

143
00:10:20,578 --> 00:10:22,371
Mm. The birth?

144
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:24,790
Mm! It's done.

145
00:10:24,874 --> 00:10:25,874
What?

146
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:29,420
It was a totally painless birth.

147
00:10:29,503 --> 00:10:31,213
The baby just slid right out.

148
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,591
- Ah.
- It didn't hurt one bit.

149
00:10:33,674 --> 00:10:36,427
And I've done a lot of TV birthing scenes,

150
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:38,054
but the real thing was easier.

151
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:40,890
Oh.
Yeah, that's good.

152
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,310
Well, nice going.

153
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,360
Why'd you come?

154
00:10:52,443 --> 00:10:54,195
Oh, Sassa called me.

155
00:10:54,278 --> 00:10:55,321
Uh, sorry.

156
00:10:55,404 --> 00:10:57,490
I was there when my wife gave birth,

157
00:10:57,573 --> 00:10:59,283
so I impulsively called you.

158
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:01,786
- I suppose you didn't need that.
- Not at all.

159
00:11:01,869 --> 00:11:04,163
More importantly, did you read it?

160
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:05,915
Mm.

161
00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:09,168
I wonder about it. On location?

162
00:11:09,251 --> 00:11:12,713
They're aware
that you won't be doing any overnights.

163
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:14,590
Plus, you can always sleep through it.

164
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,927
Hello. Ah, so... the baby?

165
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:19,637

00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:14,862
Hey, kid!

324
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:17,531
Hey, you're getting good results here.

325
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:21,326
<i>At first I couldn't understand it,</i>

326
00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:23,787
<i>the candidates who bowed their heads,</i>

327
00:19:23,871 --> 00:19:26,081
<i>groveling in order to get
just one more vote.</i>

328
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,332
...my husband.

329
00:19:27,916 --> 00:19:29,877
<i>And the voters
who cheered for strangers,</i>

330
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,296
<i>raised their voices and supported them.</i>

331
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,216
<i>How are they able
to immerse themselves in this?</i>

332
00:19:37,426 --> 00:19:39,386
<i>Is this a festival?</i>

333
00:19:39,469 --> 00:19:43,599
<i>Or are they just making sure
that they're alive?</i>

334
00:19:44,683 --> 00:19:46,101
<i>Agreement and disagreement,</i>

335
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,061
<i>conservatives and liberals,</i>

336
00:19:48,645 --> 00:19:52,441
<i>trying in their quiet desperation
to outthink and outspeak each other.</i>

337
00:19:52,524 --> 00:19:55,277
<i>The candidates are the victims.</i>

338
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:58,906
...standing up for the Henoko area
of this island!

339
00:19:58,989 --> 00:20:02,075
No more American bases!

340
00:20:02,159 --> 00:20:03,827
<i>Life is a boring thing,</i>

341
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:08,248
<i>everyone living every single day
as if they're already dead.</i>

342
00:20:08,332 --> 00:20:09,541
Say it louder!

343
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:12,211
<i>When you get bored with your life,</i>

344
00:20:12,961 --> 00:20:17,090
<i>I highly recommend going to see
an election somewhere.</i>

345
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:21,845
<i>It doesn't matter
how small the village is.</i>

346
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:24,097
<i>It doesn't matter
how small the election is.</i>

347
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:26,099
<i>It's a do-or-die contest.</i>

348
00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:29,353
Once you experience an election yourself,

349
00:20:30,270 --> 00:20:33,190
you will feel excited and anxious.

350
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:43,116
Hey.

351
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:48,747
Hello, hello! Please vote for me!

352
00:20:48,830 --> 00:20:52,167
- You're such a handsome man.
- Hello. Thank you. Please vote for me.

353
00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:54,836
Sugarcane? I'll do my best.

354
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,047
<i>I remember there was a candidate</i>

355
00:20:57,130 --> 00:20:59,466
<i>who once saved a man
from drowning in Ehime.</i>

356
00:20:59,549 --> 00:21:02,427
- Help me! Help! Help me!
- Are you okay?

357
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:05,847
Are you okay?

358
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:08,767
<i>Voters will see
right through the candidates</i>

359
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,560
<i>who aren't considerate of others,</i>

360
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,897
<i>even if they make
enticing promises to the public.</i>

361
00:21:13,981 --> 00:21:17,943
<i>If there was a prime minister
who was genuinely nice,</i>

362
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:21,947
<i>who was honest
with himself and with the public,</i>

363
00:21:23,573 --> 00:21:28,662
<i>then I'd be able to relax and entrust
the future of this country to his care.</i>

364
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:31,832
What? No...

365
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:35,127
This is praising me way too much.

366
00:21:39,339 --> 00:21:42,551
But, uh... thank you, man.

367
00:21:50,934 --> 00:21:52,519
Baba.

368
00:21:52,602 --> 00:21:54,563
Baba is not it.

369
00:21:54,646 --> 00:21:56,857
Ba-ah-ba. Mm?

370
00:21:58,317 --> 00:21:59,568
Baba.

371
00:21:59,651 --> 00:22:01,445
Mm. Oh.

372
00:22:01,528 --> 00:22:03,071
Oh.

373
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:06,450
Baba, boo-boo, good one.

374
00:22:06,533 --> 00:22:08,910
What did you just say, Yoji?

375
00:22:08,994 --> 00:22:12,456
<i>Yui has custody of the child,
but my mom is the one</i>

376
00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:13,999
<i>who really takes care of him.</i>

377
00:22:14,082 --> 00:22:15,375
I got you, I got you!

378
00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:18,420
Oh, oh.

379
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:22,549
Come in.

380
00:22:22,632 --> 00:22:23,800
We met downstairs.

381
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:24,884
Oh!

382
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:28,805
Yoji, your mom and your pop are here.

383
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:32,017
They're back from Ehime and Berlin!

384
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:34,186
Thank you for watching him again.

385
00:22:34,269 --> 00:22:35,145
It's fine.

386
00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:39,649
I'm happy to watch Yoji.
He's this family's future.

387
00:22:46,406 --> 00:22:47,574
That's just her go-to.

388
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:52,621
I watched that awards show in Germany.

389
00:22:53,163 --> 00:22:55,624
It was great. Congratulations.

390
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:56,833
Thanks.

391
00:22:57,626 --> 00:23:00,712
You looked pretty in that red dress.

392
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:04,758
I thought you might be watching it

393
00:23:04,841 --> 00:23:07,844
and, uh, having that opinion.

394
00:23:14,434 --> 00:23:18,480
Here you go!
Whole tangerine daifuku desserts.

395
00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:20,440
That's for Yoji and Grandma.

396
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:21,650
Ehime!

397
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:23,819
Huh? Did you actually say that?

398
00:23:23,902 --> 00:23:24,902
Ehime!

399
00:23:24,945 --> 00:23:27,447
That is amazing, Yoji!

400
00:23:27,531 --> 00:23:30,700
Well, the first word
he learned was "ba-ah-ba"

401
00:23:30,784 --> 00:23:31,868
and then "Ehime."

402
00:23:31,952 --> 00:23:33,954
"Mama" and "Papa" are next, I'm sure.

403
00:23:34,454 --> 00:23:38,583
Well, let's eat
some whole tangerine daifuku, then.

404
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:43,797
Here, I got you a Fendi wallet
and a German Baumkuchen cake.

405
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,134
Wow, thank you. Fendi's Baumkuchen?

406
00:23:47,217 --> 00:23:49,010
Fendi wallet, Baumkuchen cake.

407
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:50,512
Yes, I know.

408
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:51,430
German wine.

409
00:23:51,513 --> 00:23:53,974
- Huh? It's for me?
- Mm.

410
00:23:54,057 --> 00:23:55,350
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

411
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:57,978
And for Yoji, a bear.

412
00:23:58,061 --> 00:23:59,688
It's from Berlin!

413
00:23:59,771 --> 00:24:02,023
Ooh!

414
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,526
That's so great.

415
00:24:04,609 --> 00:24:08,155
Ah.
The car is waiting downstairs.

416
00:24:08,238 --> 00:24:09,239
We should go.

417
00:24:09,322 --> 00:24:11,408
- Okay.
- Okay, Yoji. Time to go.

418
00:24:11,491 --> 00:24:14,494
- No!
- Ooh!

419
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:16,413
Oh! Remember?

420
00:24:16,496 --> 00:24:18,623
I told you this morning

421
00:24:18,707 --> 00:24:23,211
that you would have to go home
when your mom comes to get you.

422
00:24:23,753 --> 00:24:24,838
Mama's here.

423
00:24:24,921 --> 00:24:27,132
It's time to take you home, okay?

424
00:24:28,216 --> 00:24:30,343
There.

425
00:24:30,427 --> 00:24:32,220
Oh, goodbye.

426
00:24:32,304 --> 00:24:33,304
Oh!

427
00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:38,351
Ain!

428
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:41,354
Uncle Sassa is so funny.

429
00:24:41,438 --> 00:24:42,731
- Goodbye.
- Yeah.

430
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:44,816
All right.

431
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:47,652
Here we go. All right.

432
00:24:47,736 --> 00:24:48,570
Okay, bye-bye.

433
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:49,488
Bye-bye.

434
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:52,240
- Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye Yoji.
- Bye-bye.

435
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:53,533
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

436
00:24:53,617 --> 00:24:54,701
Bye-bye.

437
00:24:56,286 --> 00:24:57,286
Bye-bye.

438
00:25:12,969 --> 00:25:14,012
Mm.

439
00:25:17,057 --> 00:25:19,142
Get your custody back, okay?

440
00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:21,311
You're back on that again?

441
00:25:21,394 --> 00:25:24,606
Mm. She just leaves the child with me

442
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:28,401
and struts the red carpet,
showing off her back.

443
00:25:29,152 --> 00:25:31,404
How can she have custody of him?

444
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:34,282
Well, you're the one raising him
most of the time, see?

445
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:37,577
Aren't you glad it's going your way
even if it's not official?

446
00:25:38,578 --> 00:25:42,874
But what if he decides
he wants to become an actor?

447
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:44,750
Oh.

448
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:48,296
If we had a girl, she could be an actress.

449
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:49,798
If you had a girl,

450
00:25:49,881 --> 00:25:53,385
she would become a politician's wife
and would support the family.

451
00:25:55,095 --> 00:25:59,140
All the children in the Shoji family,
boys and girls, have the same fate.

452
00:26:01,893 --> 00:26:02,893
Well,

453
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:08,400
it's not like there's
a chance of you having a girl now.

454
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:15,782
<i>I do wonder about that.</i>

455
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:20,120
Come on, Yoji.
Let's go eat upstairs.

456
00:26:22,706 --> 00:26:24,457
Here, you eat too.

457
00:26:26,042 --> 00:26:28,628
- Customers will show up later today.
- Hmm.

458
00:26:29,337 --> 00:26:31,381
How do you know that?

459
00:26:31,464 --> 00:26:34,259
I can tell from the temperature
and the humidity.

460
00:26:34,342 --> 00:26:38,138
Anyway, how much was the prize money?

461
00:26:39,097 --> 00:26:42,475
There's no prize money.
All you get's a bear trophy, Mom.

462
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:46,062
What in the hell? You got my hopes up.

463
00:26:47,647 --> 00:26:49,608
It isn't about the money.

464
00:26:50,358 --> 00:26:52,360
That was so cool.

465
00:26:53,653 --> 00:26:56,865
I saw you on the news,
walking the red carpet.

466
00:26:57,574 --> 00:27:02,996
And I thought to myself,
"Did I give birth to her?"

467
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:06,583
I'm sure Taishi thinks of you
as the one that got away.

468
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:09,669
Mm. You think so?

469
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:15,425
I know the hearts of men
even more than my customers' foot traffic.

470
00:27:21,389 --> 00:27:22,515
A question.

471
00:27:24,017 --> 00:27:28,104
If I keep on asking
Taishi's mom to watch Yoji,

472
00:27:28,605 --> 00:27:32,275
I'm afraid he'll end up a politician.
So, what should I do?

473
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,987
How many times have I said
that you can leave him here?

474
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:40,742
Give him an allowance, and I'll grab him
from kindergarten or wherever.

475
00:27:40,825 --> 00:27:43,203
Mm.

476
00:27:43,286 --> 00:27:48,833
I worry that if I leave him here,
he might end up being somewhat uncouth.

477
00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:51,461
What do you mean by that?

478
00:27:51,544 --> 00:27:52,629
That's insulting!

479
00:27:54,130 --> 00:27:57,133
Children will grow up
even if you leave them alone.

480
00:27:58,009 --> 00:28:00,470
Don't worry so much about everything.

481
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:02,597
Let things run their course.

482
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:05,433
He'll be an adult before you know it.

483
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:10,188
I don't want him
to become just a regular adult.

484
00:28:10,271 --> 00:28:12,148
I want him to be well-educated.

485
00:28:12,232 --> 00:28:13,983
Well-educated?

486
00:28:14,067 --> 00:28:16,069
Taishi didn't go to a good university.

487
00:28:16,152 --> 00:28:19,948
Yeah, but he studied abroad
in the United States, you know.

488
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:22,492
But he doesn't speak English.

489
00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:28,498
Yui, dear,

490
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,002
it's possible you've been brainwashed
by that mean old lady.

491
00:28:34,337 --> 00:28:35,797
The things you're saying

492
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,633
are the same words as that monster mom.

493
00:28:41,344 --> 00:28:43,012
No, they're not.

494
00:28:43,096 --> 00:28:45,598
You're not getting
enough physical contact.

495
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:47,976
Not with men or your child.

496
00:28:48,476 --> 00:28:52,230
If you were,
everything in your life would just be fun.

497
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:58,403
But Yoji and I do have physical contact.

498
00:29:00,405 --> 00:29:03,116
What do you think
is the reason for the award?

499
00:29:04,951 --> 00:29:05,951
Uh-huh.

500
00:29:06,619 --> 00:29:10,081
It was the foresight
of the director's vision,

501
00:29:10,165 --> 00:29:13,293
the excellent script,
as well as the entire production.

502
00:29:13,793 --> 00:29:17,130
And who is most pleased
with this achievement?

503
00:29:18,798 --> 00:29:22,177
There's a saying
that older men love single mothers.

504
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:24,387
What does that mean?

505
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:26,806
They're so spicy.

506
00:29:27,515 --> 00:29:29,017
Keep her clear of men.

507
00:29:29,642 --> 00:29:30,477
Sure.

508
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,898
From here on, her role is
the competent, sexy leader.

509
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:37,150
No distracting men.

510
00:29:38,234 --> 00:29:40,570
The thing
you asked me about yesterday

511
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:43,573
would be quite difficult.

512
00:29:43,656 --> 00:29:45,200
I figured.

513
00:29:45,283 --> 00:29:49,245
If you're able to actually prove
that he's at a disadvantage with her,

514
00:29:49,996 --> 00:29:53,166
that is the only way
to change your agreement.

515
00:29:54,167 --> 00:29:55,710
Oh, I see.

516
00:29:56,961 --> 00:30:00,757
And your ex-wife has more economic power
than you do at the moment

517
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,592
now that you are unemployed.

518
00:30:03,092 --> 00:30:04,135
That makes sense.

519
00:30:05,261 --> 00:30:07,096
Here's the question for you.

520
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:09,140
Would you be able to raise the child

521
00:30:09,224 --> 00:30:10,266
if you got custody?

522
00:30:12,977 --> 00:30:16,105
We don't know how long
your mother will remain healthy.

523
00:30:17,190 --> 00:30:18,233
That's true.

524
00:30:20,568 --> 00:30:23,446
Wait, are you trying to get back together?

525
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,159
No, it's not about that.
This is a question from my mother.

526
00:30:29,035 --> 00:30:31,079
I just wanted your opinion.

527
00:30:31,579 --> 00:30:32,789
Please don't get angry.

528
00:30:32,872 --> 00:30:34,374
I'm not angry.

529
00:30:34,958 --> 00:30:37,710
A lawyer has a lot of responsibility

530
00:30:37,794 --> 00:30:39,295
in a divorce proceeding.

531
00:30:40,171 --> 00:30:42,966
But you don't need my advice to reconcile.

532
00:30:44,384 --> 00:30:46,261
Of course. That's right.

533
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:49,722
I'm sorry to bother you.

534
00:30:55,895 --> 00:31:01,359
Ah, I see. So, Taishi Shoji
still relies on you, Kaoru.

535
00:31:01,442 --> 00:31:05,238
Hmm. Yeah,
but I'm not getting a single yen for it.

536
00:31:05,321 --> 00:31:07,532
Yui Kurosawa never calls me anymore.

537
00:31:08,283 --> 00:31:12,203
Maybe she thinks you're unreliable
since you're under her at the office.

538
00:31:13,121 --> 00:31:15,665
I'm thinking about moving on from there.

539
00:31:16,249 --> 00:31:18,543
The CEO thinks only about Yui.

540
00:31:19,043 --> 00:31:21,629
And everyone else is really unsatisfied.

541
00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:23,631
Well, that makes sense, Henry.

542
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:26,593
Yui Kurosawa represents all of Japan.

543
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:29,345
She's on a different level
than the rest of you.

544
00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:34,058
Wow, this is not like you, Henry,
to be jealous.

545
00:31:34,142 --> 00:31:36,144
You've become such a...

546
00:31:37,812 --> 00:31:39,564
a regular sort of guy, haven't you?

547
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:42,400
Now that you're strong, you're amazing.

548
00:31:43,318 --> 00:31:45,653
So charming I want to marry you.

549
00:31:46,446 --> 00:31:48,656
- Sure, let's get married.
- Hmm?

550
00:31:49,157 --> 00:31:52,160
You don't have
to look so surprised.

551
00:31:52,243 --> 00:31:53,870
You're the one who said it.

552
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:56,747
Mm.

553
00:31:57,582 --> 00:31:59,375
You're right, I did say that, but...

554
00:31:59,459 --> 00:32:00,501
Hmm?

555
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:01,961
What is marriage?

556
00:32:02,795 --> 00:32:05,173
- You're still a bachelor?
- I am.

557
00:32:05,256 --> 00:32:08,468
Well, you're in for a disappointment.

558
00:32:09,886 --> 00:32:11,930
But I feel, if it's with you,

559
00:32:12,972 --> 00:32:16,392
I'm quite sure I can afford
some disappointment again.

560
00:32:27,195 --> 00:32:29,489
<i>Don't act
like you'd really marry me.</i>

561
00:32:36,245 --> 00:32:39,916
<i>Today is the one day
every two months I visit with my son.</i>

562
00:32:39,999 --> 00:32:44,045
- Yoji! Look, it's a pirate ship!
- Wow! A pirate ship! Amazing!

563
00:32:44,545 --> 00:32:45,964
- What?
- Pigeon! Pigeon!

564
00:32:46,047 --> 00:32:48,132
Yoji, there are pigeons in Tokyo.

565
00:32:48,216 --> 00:32:50,927
Why don't you look at the pirate ship
since we're here?

566
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:53,906
- Look, right there. Yoji, take a look!
- Pigeon, pigeon, pigeon, pigeon...

567
00:32:53,930 --> 00:32:57,225
<i>I do see him often
because my mom looks after him,</i>

568
00:32:57,308 --> 00:33:00,728
<i>but when Yui's with us too,
it's something special,</i>

569
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:03,898
<i>because this would be a family trip
if we weren't divorced.</i>

570
00:33:05,024 --> 00:33:07,252
- Excuse me, can we please take a picture?
- Yes, please!

571
00:33:07,276 --> 00:33:09,362
Ah, I'm so sorry. It's a private outing.

572
00:33:09,445 --> 00:33:10,279
I'll take it.

573
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:12,281
Yes? Oh, thank you so much!

574
00:33:12,365 --> 00:33:15,618
Wow, she's so cute.
Oh, her face is so small.

575
00:33:15,702 --> 00:33:17,620
- Okay, here we go.
- Thank you.

576
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:47,316
I'm so tired.

577
00:33:48,568 --> 00:33:51,779
It's like we went all the way
to Lake Ashinoko to see pigeons.

578
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:53,740
But it was fun.

579
00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:59,829
Hey, make yourself comfortable.
I'll make us some tea.

580
00:33:59,912 --> 00:34:01,164
Oh. Thanks.

581
00:34:14,927 --> 00:34:17,513
Oh! Yoji loves that thing.

582
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:19,849
For some reason, he's always picking it up

583
00:34:19,932 --> 00:34:21,267
and playing with it.

584
00:34:25,688 --> 00:34:27,648
Pachinko artist.

585
00:34:30,276 --> 00:34:32,737
I wonder why a kid
would be so interested in that.

586
00:34:32,820 --> 00:34:33,821
Mm-hmm.

587
00:34:34,322 --> 00:34:37,033
Right. Kyoji is a reporter these days.

588
00:34:37,617 --> 00:34:38,951
Huh? A reporter?

589
00:34:39,035 --> 00:34:42,538
He goes around the country writing
about elections. He's quite popular.

590
00:34:42,622 --> 00:34:46,125
So they really exist,
people who wake up to their calling.

591
00:34:47,835 --> 00:34:50,296
- Are you guys friends?
- No, I just read his stuff.

592
00:34:51,672 --> 00:34:52,924
So, is there a new film?

593
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:56,344
No, a streaming show. It's a yakuza one.

594
00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:58,596
Oh yeah? Wearing a kimono?

595
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:00,306
Do you have a catchphrase?

596
00:35:00,389 --> 00:35:02,183
Why are you teasing me?

597
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:04,435
No way! I'm not teasing.

598
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:06,562
I always support you.

599
00:35:08,439 --> 00:35:10,191
You can just act normal.

600
00:35:10,691 --> 00:35:12,652
I'd really like that kind of support.

601
00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:18,574
You don't need to offer
to take pictures like you did.

602
00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:21,744
In front of my son,

603
00:35:22,745 --> 00:35:23,830
I'm just his mom.

604
00:35:30,378 --> 00:35:31,378
And me?

605
00:35:32,338 --> 00:35:33,338
What?

606
00:35:34,882 --> 00:35:36,384
In front of me, who are you?

607
00:35:40,346 --> 00:35:42,181
Stop it, now.

608
00:35:43,266 --> 00:35:44,266
Sorry.

609
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:56,279
So what do you want?

610
00:36:08,624 --> 00:36:09,709
Pigeon.

611
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:22,805
What is going on? Someone's horny.

612
00:36:24,223 --> 00:36:26,225
Isn't there a Mimata around?

613
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:28,853
Not when I'm always thinking about you.

614
00:36:30,438 --> 00:36:31,564
Mm-hmm.

615
00:36:32,565 --> 00:36:33,565
Mm.

616
00:36:36,861 --> 00:36:40,072
How did we so casually sign
those divorce papers?

617
00:36:43,826 --> 00:36:45,077
I don't know.

618
00:36:46,078 --> 00:36:47,163
You don't?

619
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:50,750
No double-checking or anything.

620
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:53,586
The guy at reception desk

621
00:36:53,669 --> 00:36:56,631
could have asked,
"Is that your final answer?"

622
00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:02,886
My answer...

623
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:06,682
I discovered you're the one I love.

624
00:37:11,479 --> 00:37:12,479
So if I...

625
00:37:15,358 --> 00:37:16,984
ever got married again,

626
00:37:17,777 --> 00:37:19,278
I'd like it to be you.

627
00:37:25,618 --> 00:37:26,619
But we shouldn't.

628
00:37:27,203 --> 00:37:28,788
Why not?

629
00:37:29,789 --> 00:37:31,874
'Cause you'd go and cheat again.

630
00:37:33,167 --> 00:37:36,545
It's not that I made
the wrong choice.

631
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:41,801
What was wrong was marriage itself.

632
00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:48,599
I think, if we married a second time,
it wouldn't be as much fun.

633
00:37:51,018 --> 00:37:54,313
All of this is just how I feel, but...

634
00:37:57,817 --> 00:38:01,237
things will go better if we don't remarry.

635
00:38:17,169 --> 00:38:20,089
We should have ripped them up.

636
00:38:20,172 --> 00:38:23,050
We should have ripped up
those divorce papers.

637
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:26,053
What do you mean?
It's great the way we are now.

638
00:38:27,763 --> 00:38:31,475
Yes, and I'm busy
with next year's election.

639
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:33,477
- Huh?
- Hmm? What?

640
00:38:33,561 --> 00:38:35,563
The election? Office terms are ending?

641
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:37,148
Uh, has it been four years?

642
00:38:37,231 --> 00:38:40,318
Well, Yoji's almost three,
so four is soon.

643
00:38:41,902 --> 00:38:43,487
Well, you better win!

644
00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:46,282
You really gotta do it.
Beat Soda this time!

645
00:38:46,365 --> 00:38:47,408
Yui!

646
00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:52,955
That last election was so fun.

647
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:57,043
Yeah, that was fun.

648
00:40:12,451 --> 00:40:13,451
Hmm?

649
00:40:14,662 --> 00:40:15,704
What's this?

650
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:21,877
That's your "I can do it" face.

651
00:40:22,378 --> 00:40:24,171
Will you or no?

652
00:40:48,779 --> 00:40:50,406
- Ah!
- Oh! Yui!

653
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:52,283
Yui Channel!

654
00:40:52,992 --> 00:40:55,411
Oh. So, I'll help you.

655
00:40:56,078 --> 00:40:57,371
Good evening.

656
00:40:57,455 --> 00:41:00,875
It's Yui Kurosawa, international actress.

657
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:04,837
Today, we have a surprise guest visiting.

658
00:41:05,337 --> 00:41:07,631
A mystery guy!

659
00:41:10,718 --> 00:41:13,012
Uh, long time no see.

660
00:41:13,095 --> 00:41:15,973
I'm the former representative
for Ehime's fifth district...

661
00:41:16,056 --> 00:41:18,434
Come on! Don't be so stiff. Loosen up!

662
00:41:18,517 --> 00:41:20,269
I guess I forgot how to do this.

663
00:41:20,352 --> 00:41:22,605
Ah! We're not getting back together.

664
00:41:22,688 --> 00:41:25,733
You have my promise that is not happening.

665
00:41:26,525 --> 00:41:29,445
<i>- Kashikomi, kashikomi!
- Kashikomi, kashikomi!</i>

666
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,096
<i>We should have ripped up
those papers.</i>

667
00:42:03,229 --> 00:42:05,064
<i>Papa!</i>

668
00:42:05,564 --> 00:42:08,192
<i>- Papa!
- Sorry.</i>

669
00:42:08,275 --> 00:42:09,693
<i>Papa!</i>

670
00:42:09,777 --> 00:42:12,947
<i>He woke up
and didn't see you, so he started crying.</i>

671
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:16,575
Ah! Yoji.

672
00:42:17,076 --> 00:42:18,827
Ah, Yoji.

673
00:42:18,911 --> 00:42:20,704
Ah, I'm sorry!

674
00:42:20,788 --> 00:42:22,706
<i>Papa!</i>

675
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:24,750
Sorry I didn't say good night.

676
00:42:24,833 --> 00:42:27,127
<i>- Papa!</i>
- Don't cry, Yoji.

677
00:42:27,211 --> 00:42:29,547
<i>Look. He's right there.</i>

678
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:31,298
I'm right here! I'm right here!

679
00:42:31,382 --> 00:42:33,801
<i>- Look, he's right here.</i>
- Papa's right here.

680
00:42:33,884 --> 00:42:35,594
<i>- Yoji.</i>
- It'll all be okay.

681
00:42:35,678 --> 00:42:39,056
<i>- Papa!</i>
- I'm sorry I left. Don't be sad.

682
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,395
Ah! I feel bad.

683
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:46,605
<i>Papa!</i>

684
00:42:54,113 --> 00:42:57,366
Good morning
to all you hardworking people!

685
00:42:57,449 --> 00:42:59,743
Japan is the country of rice!

686
00:42:59,827 --> 00:43:03,539
When I, Taishi Shoji, am once again
a government representative,

687
00:43:03,622 --> 00:43:07,001
I will promote a local product.
That's priority one.

688
00:43:07,084 --> 00:43:10,879
Himenorin, I'll make
Ehime's rice the top one in Japan.

689
00:43:10,963 --> 00:43:15,634
I hope that you'll all do your best
growing delicious rice.

690
00:43:15,718 --> 00:43:18,053
It's always nice to come see the rice.

691
00:43:18,137 --> 00:43:21,056
I'll keep on working hard
along with everyone.

692
00:43:21,140 --> 00:43:22,600
Thank you all very much!

693
00:43:28,564 --> 00:43:29,982
I'm back again.

694
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:31,150
Hi, welcome.

695
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:34,069
Taishi, you got tan again.

696
00:43:34,153 --> 00:43:35,613
I guess I did.

697
00:43:36,447 --> 00:43:38,782
Hey there! It's you, Shingo.

698
00:43:38,866 --> 00:43:40,200
It's been a while.

699
00:43:40,284 --> 00:43:41,827
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

700
00:43:42,494 --> 00:43:43,787
What've you been doing?

701
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:46,415
Mm.

702
00:43:46,915 --> 00:43:48,459
Ah, still unemployed, right?

703
00:43:48,542 --> 00:43:53,631
Shingo got a new job driving
for a guy at Seyo Pharmaceuticals.

704
00:43:54,965 --> 00:43:57,676
The company that Soda let buy BSL-4?

705
00:44:00,387 --> 00:44:01,387
I'm sorry!

706
00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:05,809
Hey, don't worry about it.

707
00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:09,980
Everybody's got to work. It's fine.

708
00:44:12,983 --> 00:44:16,195
It's my job to pick up
and drop the manager off.

709
00:44:16,695 --> 00:44:18,906
Every month, when Soda comes to Ehime,

710
00:44:18,989 --> 00:44:22,826
I'm also the one picking him up
at the Matsuyama Airport.

711
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:25,329
Soda comes to Ehime?

712
00:44:25,412 --> 00:44:29,208
From there, I take him directly
to the research center.

713
00:44:29,291 --> 00:44:31,460
He's given a paper bag

714
00:44:31,543 --> 00:44:33,921
then goes back to Tokyo immediately.

715
00:44:35,214 --> 00:44:36,423
A day trip?

716
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,507
Right.

717
00:44:38,342 --> 00:44:42,763
And Soda always has
that paper bag with cash inside it!

718
00:44:45,391 --> 00:44:48,018
If it was a bank transfer,
people would find out.

719
00:44:48,102 --> 00:44:50,229
That's why they do the cash in person.

720
00:44:51,730 --> 00:44:53,691
<i>The district will become richer.</i>

721
00:44:53,774 --> 00:44:56,026
<i>It will increase employment also.</i>

722
00:44:56,110 --> 00:44:57,403
<i>Two birds.</i>

723
00:44:57,486 --> 00:45:00,906
<i>I guess you could say
I'm showing my love for Ehime.</i>

724
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,953
So BSL-4 gets sold off

725
00:45:06,036 --> 00:45:09,915
by Soda for next to nothing,
and he pockets part of the profits?

726
00:45:09,998 --> 00:45:14,670
Well, I'm a pretty dumb guy,
so I don't recognize all those big words.

727
00:45:14,753 --> 00:45:17,589
But I can tell you
that Soda gets a whole lot of money

728
00:45:17,673 --> 00:45:19,299
every single month from them.

729
00:45:19,383 --> 00:45:21,593
But you never saw
this bag of cash, did you?

730
00:45:21,677 --> 00:45:22,677
I did!

731
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:25,180
He went to the bathroom,
so I had a peek inside.

732
00:45:26,932 --> 00:45:28,183
Here's a picture I took.

733
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:52,499
Isn't this about Seyo Pharmaceuticals?

734
00:45:53,208 --> 00:45:55,753
<i>Shukan Fire</i> is going to write on it.

735
00:45:57,296 --> 00:45:59,798
Seems like there's been a lot of rumors.

736
00:46:01,091 --> 00:46:03,218
<i>Because Shingo
can't keep a secret.</i>

737
00:46:03,302 --> 00:46:06,889
Go Soda's career is probably done.

738
00:46:08,182 --> 00:46:10,225
Back when you were running against him,

739
00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:12,269
I thought he was honest and for real.

740
00:46:12,770 --> 00:46:14,521
But he's sure not that.

741
00:46:15,439 --> 00:46:19,318
And so you know someone
who writes at the <i>Shukan Fire</i>?

742
00:46:19,902 --> 00:46:20,902
Maybe.

743
00:46:21,403 --> 00:46:24,323
An old enemy is a future friend.

744
00:46:30,829 --> 00:46:32,122
Is Yui doing okay?

745
00:46:37,002 --> 00:46:38,253
Yeah, she is.

746
00:46:38,754 --> 00:46:39,838
Her baby too.

747
00:46:42,257 --> 00:46:43,383
That's perfect.

748
00:46:44,676 --> 00:46:46,428
What's perfect about it?

749
00:46:47,179 --> 00:46:50,641
It means that I never had
a real place in her life.

750
00:46:52,351 --> 00:46:53,644
Sorry, that must hurt.

751
00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:58,857
That machine won't give you anything.
Shouldn't you go home

752
00:46:58,941 --> 00:47:02,236
and have a meeting with Mr. Saotome
about that special election?

753
00:47:08,116 --> 00:47:10,577
I'll write something passionate
about it for ya

754
00:47:11,078 --> 00:47:14,206
so you'll have a decisive victory.

755
00:47:18,085 --> 00:47:19,378
<i>Whoa!</i>

756
00:47:22,172 --> 00:47:25,425
What a race
Ehime's fifth district is in for!

757
00:47:29,263 --> 00:47:32,891
<i>Kyoji no longer seems
like a guy who's alive but dead.</i>

758
00:47:34,059 --> 00:47:36,937
DID SECRETARY GENERAL SODA
TAKE BRIBES FROM SEYO?

759
00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:41,024
<i>Chief Secretary, there's news
that you cheaply sold off BSL-4</i>

760
00:47:41,108 --> 00:47:43,986
<i>to Seyo Pharmaceuticals to get a payout.
Care to comment?</i>

761
00:47:45,070 --> 00:47:47,531
We criticized
the previous government's corruption

762
00:47:47,614 --> 00:47:49,491
for the sake of Japan's progress.

763
00:47:50,075 --> 00:47:52,286
So how could we be after money now?

764
00:47:52,911 --> 00:47:54,663
Tamai from <i>Iyo Maicho.</i>

765
00:47:54,746 --> 00:47:57,040
Are you claiming
these are false accusations?

766
00:47:57,124 --> 00:48:01,044
I'm not sure who's been spreading
all these lies around.

767
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,798
But those individuals
who have something to gain from this

768
00:48:04,882 --> 00:48:06,466
might be the ones to consider.

769
00:48:06,550 --> 00:48:08,218
But aren't you the one gaining something?

770
00:48:08,302 --> 00:48:10,012
What I'm telling you is that you're wrong.

771
00:48:10,095 --> 00:48:12,723
<i>Soda got defensive
and denied everything.</i>

772
00:48:12,806 --> 00:48:14,516
<i>What am I going to do?</i>

773
00:48:15,017 --> 00:48:17,644
<i>It's so heavy. How am I gonna carry this?</i>

774
00:48:18,145 --> 00:48:20,480
<i>Should I take it
to Tokyo by car, then?</i>

775
00:48:20,564 --> 00:48:23,817
<i>Tokyo or not,
we can't go anywhere if it's this heavy.</i>

776
00:48:23,901 --> 00:48:25,861
<i>What should we do?</i>

777
00:48:25,944 --> 00:48:28,572
<i>Just... just make it small enough</i>

778
00:48:28,655 --> 00:48:30,699
<i>for me to take on a plane.</i>

779
00:48:32,910 --> 00:48:36,747
<i>He would take home
a paper bag with 20 million yen inside</i>

780
00:48:36,830 --> 00:48:37,830
<i>on each trip.</i>

781
00:48:39,499 --> 00:48:40,499
<i>Yeah.</i>

782
00:48:42,169 --> 00:48:44,588
<i>He would come into town
about once a month.</i>

783
00:48:44,671 --> 00:48:46,798
MONEY-GRUBBER, MONEY OVER PEOPLE
SODA, GO TO HELL!

784
00:48:46,882 --> 00:48:50,052
<i>Each time, I would pick him up
at the airport in a car.</i>

785
00:48:50,552 --> 00:48:53,764
CHIEF SECRETARY ROOM

786
00:48:55,682 --> 00:48:58,810
<i>It's not like I'm trying
to rub salt into a wound.</i>

787
00:48:59,311 --> 00:49:01,980
<i>But Soda was completely beaten to a pulp.</i>

788
00:49:03,899 --> 00:49:08,904
<i>Soda left the Reformation Party
and resigned his seat in the house.</i>

789
00:49:10,822 --> 00:49:12,783
Mr. Soda!

790
00:49:15,702 --> 00:49:18,121
I always respected and looked up to you.

791
00:49:20,749 --> 00:49:22,209
I'm so disappointed.

792
00:49:38,558 --> 00:49:40,727
Please leave
the fifth district of Ehime

793
00:49:40,811 --> 00:49:43,563
in the hands of Taishi Shoji
one more time.

794
00:49:43,647 --> 00:49:45,440
I'll do everything I can.

795
00:49:45,524 --> 00:49:47,067
Ehime, vote for Taishi.

796
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:50,237
Everyone, please send Taishi Shoji

797
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,782
back once more
to represent you in the fifth district.

798
00:49:53,865 --> 00:49:56,785
We're counting on you!

799
00:49:56,868 --> 00:49:59,371
Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

800
00:49:59,454 --> 00:50:00,789
Thank you very much.

801
00:50:00,872 --> 00:50:03,709
I promise to work my hardest for you!

802
00:50:03,792 --> 00:50:05,585
Please vote for Taishi.

803
00:50:07,254 --> 00:50:09,047
Thank you very much.

804
00:50:09,131 --> 00:50:11,633
Thank you all. Thank you very much.

805
00:50:11,717 --> 00:50:13,677
Hi, everyone! Thank you for being here.

806
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:14,803
Good work.

807
00:50:15,637 --> 00:50:16,930
How did it go?

808
00:50:17,014 --> 00:50:20,475
This election is much easier.
Your rival's just a Red Shirt.

809
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:21,435
I'm so hungry.

810
00:50:21,518 --> 00:50:22,894
- Saotome!
- Yes.

811
00:50:22,978 --> 00:50:25,981
How many decades
have you been doing this job?

812
00:50:27,149 --> 00:50:30,318
We do not predict
what's going to happen here.

813
00:50:31,069 --> 00:50:34,072
- You should be buckling down.
- Yes. I apologize.

814
00:50:34,156 --> 00:50:35,657
- And you too.
- Oh.

815
00:50:35,741 --> 00:50:37,826
Do not start getting cocky.

816
00:50:38,493 --> 00:50:43,290
Your father never said, "Ah, I'm hungry,"
not a single time during an election.

817
00:50:43,373 --> 00:50:45,208
Yes, I'll get buckling.

818
00:50:46,626 --> 00:50:48,086
You too, Karakida!

819
00:50:48,170 --> 00:50:50,255
Uh... Mm! Right.

820
00:50:50,338 --> 00:50:53,383
I promise to work for you. Thank you.

821
00:50:55,427 --> 00:50:56,511
Thank you all.

822
00:50:57,804 --> 00:50:58,847
Thank you very much.

823
00:51:08,315 --> 00:51:09,524
Thanks so much.

824
00:51:10,525 --> 00:51:11,568
I appreciate it.

825
00:51:14,321 --> 00:51:16,198
It's time for us to do the dance

826
00:51:16,698 --> 00:51:18,450
for Ehime one more time.

827
00:51:19,534 --> 00:51:21,536
To end this election campaign.

828
00:51:23,038 --> 00:51:24,873
Mikochan's here.

829
00:51:24,956 --> 00:51:26,500
Let her through!

830
00:51:36,593 --> 00:51:37,593
She's here.

831
00:51:50,232 --> 00:51:52,150
So, Taishi wasn't...

832
00:51:54,361 --> 00:51:56,279
really that great

833
00:51:57,155 --> 00:51:58,573
husband material.

834
00:52:00,826 --> 00:52:02,577
But as a candidate,

835
00:52:03,370 --> 00:52:04,621
he's the best.

836
00:52:07,082 --> 00:52:08,208
So, then,

837
00:52:09,668 --> 00:52:13,672
you should vote for my great ex-husband.

838
00:52:14,464 --> 00:52:16,091
Vote for Taishi, please!

839
00:52:17,801 --> 00:52:20,262
<i>Kashikomi, kashikomi!</i>

840
00:52:20,345 --> 00:52:23,765
<i>Kashikomi, kashikomi!</i>

841
00:52:31,314 --> 00:52:32,315
Yui.

842
00:52:38,446 --> 00:52:39,447
Thank you.

843
00:53:04,222 --> 00:53:06,016
<i>This looks so good.</i>

844
00:53:06,099 --> 00:53:06,933
Look!

845
00:53:07,017 --> 00:53:09,895
ELECTION FIFTH DISTRICT OF EHIME
TAISHI SHOJI PROJECTED TO WIN

846
00:53:09,978 --> 00:53:15,233
- Hooray! Yoji, your dad just won!
<i>- Taishi Shoji is projected to...</i>

847
00:53:15,317 --> 00:53:16,818
- Look, bud! Papa!
<i>- Banzai!</i>

848
00:53:16,902 --> 00:53:19,905
<i>And here's Taishi Shoji
at his election office.</i>

849
00:53:19,988 --> 00:53:21,990
<i>- Banzai!</i>
- Congratulations!

850
00:53:22,073 --> 00:53:23,867
Papa, Ehime.

851
00:53:24,826 --> 00:53:26,578
Ehime!

852
00:53:26,661 --> 00:53:29,080
What a smart guy you are!

853
00:53:29,164 --> 00:53:32,584
Papa, Ehime. Mama filming.

854
00:53:33,376 --> 00:53:34,211
Great!

855
00:53:34,294 --> 00:53:37,714
- Banzai! Banzai!
- Thank you! Thank you.

856
00:53:37,797 --> 00:53:40,342
- Thank you very much.
- Banzai!

857
00:53:40,425 --> 00:53:44,262
- Banzai! Banzai!
- Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

858
00:53:44,346 --> 00:53:45,805
Banzai!

859
00:53:45,889 --> 00:53:47,599
Thank you very much.

860
00:53:47,682 --> 00:53:50,143
- Thank you, everyone.
- Thank you!

861
00:53:50,227 --> 00:53:53,188
- Thank you very much.
- Banzai! Banzai!

862
00:53:53,271 --> 00:53:55,148
You did it! Congratulations!

863
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:57,984
Everyone, thank you so much.

864
00:54:03,198 --> 00:54:04,574
Thank you very much.

865
00:54:06,785 --> 00:54:09,955
- You did it, Taishi!
- Thank you.

866
00:54:10,038 --> 00:54:13,917
Saotome, you're crying a little.

867
00:54:16,044 --> 00:54:17,045
I feel...

868
00:54:18,797 --> 00:54:21,216
...so happy.

869
00:54:23,134 --> 00:54:26,012
Happy for the young master.

870
00:54:26,972 --> 00:54:29,766
It's all because of you, Saotome.

871
00:54:31,893 --> 00:54:32,978
Ah, thank you.

872
00:54:54,082 --> 00:54:56,918
It's been so many years
since we promised no more waiting lists

873
00:54:57,002 --> 00:54:58,003
for nursery schools.

874
00:54:58,086 --> 00:54:59,671
- What's going on?
- Ms. Mimata!

875
00:54:59,754 --> 00:55:01,965
The local governments
are doing their part.

876
00:55:02,048 --> 00:55:05,760
- They have lists of waiting children.
- I look forward to working with you.

877
00:55:05,844 --> 00:55:09,347
We have to count them all
if we want to solve this.

878
00:55:09,889 --> 00:55:13,143
People will have to quit their jobs
if we don't fix this.

879
00:55:13,226 --> 00:55:15,103
<i>Taishi Shoji.</i>

880
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:19,566
Returning Congressman Taishi Shoji.

881
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:23,236
Being back here fills me
with so much emotion.

882
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:24,779
It's been over three years.

883
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,782
And this is my first time
as the opposition party.

884
00:55:27,866 --> 00:55:31,661
Getting divorced made me realize
my wife has always been great,

885
00:55:31,745 --> 00:55:34,789
just as losing my seat in Congress
made me know

886
00:55:34,873 --> 00:55:38,001
how truly important this seat really is.

887
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:40,795
Must you talk about your wife?
We don't have time!

888
00:55:41,796 --> 00:55:45,008
Excuse me. On to the main topic.

889
00:55:46,217 --> 00:55:50,138
Uh, a question for Ms. Arita,
who runs the parental support committee.

890
00:55:50,638 --> 00:55:53,641
This is in regards
to the childcare initiative,

891
00:55:54,142 --> 00:55:57,687
which has not been resolved
over the past three years.

892
00:55:58,772 --> 00:56:00,982
I spent my whole life

893
00:56:02,108 --> 00:56:04,027
falling in love with that man.

894
00:56:05,362 --> 00:56:06,404
Perfect.

895
00:56:09,115 --> 00:56:10,115
Nice.

896
00:56:11,034 --> 00:56:12,660
You really shouldn't

897
00:56:13,703 --> 00:56:15,163
be carrying around a katana!

898
00:56:17,332 --> 00:56:18,416
Enough talking.

899
00:56:19,417 --> 00:56:21,711
Is this set in Hiroshima or Kyushu?

900
00:56:21,795 --> 00:56:22,879
Saitama.

901
00:56:23,380 --> 00:56:24,839
If we're apart

902
00:56:25,507 --> 00:56:26,800
or hate one another

903
00:56:27,425 --> 00:56:29,469
or even see other people...

904
00:56:29,552 --> 00:56:30,552
Left eye.

905
00:56:31,054 --> 00:56:32,680
...I'm still saving

906
00:56:33,765 --> 00:56:35,225
all my love for you.

907
00:56:36,476 --> 00:56:38,186
- Oh, so good.
- Well-done.

908
00:56:42,399 --> 00:56:45,276
Hey, Mom. Sorry to be a bother.

909
00:56:45,944 --> 00:56:48,113
Tell me, what's wrong?

910
00:56:48,947 --> 00:56:51,282
I might finally understand

911
00:56:51,366 --> 00:56:53,952
what you were always trying
to tell me about life.

912
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:56,454
Let's just say I feel awesome.

913
00:56:56,538 --> 00:56:58,248
So what did I say?

914
00:56:58,832 --> 00:57:01,042
That life is just too long.

915
00:57:01,543 --> 00:57:06,172
And it's impossible
to only love one guy for all of it.

916
00:57:07,382 --> 00:57:10,927
Well, so you turned out to be right.

917
00:57:13,138 --> 00:57:15,223
Did I say something like that?

918
00:57:16,307 --> 00:57:18,852
<i>I might have.</i>

919
00:57:19,602 --> 00:57:21,396
Sounds like a good time.

920
00:57:21,479 --> 00:57:22,939
Who's your new guy, then?

921
00:57:23,022 --> 00:57:26,109
No, no one serious.

922
00:57:26,818 --> 00:57:27,819
Goodbye.

923
00:57:27,902 --> 00:57:29,904
I'll be bringing Yoji by this weekend.

924
00:57:49,924 --> 00:57:51,009
Thanks for waiting.

925
00:57:52,719 --> 00:57:53,720
Great job.

926
00:57:54,471 --> 00:57:55,722
So what kind of food?

927
00:57:56,806 --> 00:57:57,806
Meat!

928
00:57:57,849 --> 00:58:01,144
My ex-wife works full-time,
and I live with my three-year-old son.

929
00:58:01,227 --> 00:58:03,354
I take care of him four days of the week.

930
00:58:05,315 --> 00:58:07,650
You don't understand until you try it.

931
00:58:07,734 --> 00:58:10,028
And it is very difficult.

932
00:58:11,196 --> 00:58:14,073
Oh no! This is permanent Magic Marker!

933
00:58:14,157 --> 00:58:17,076
I said, if you're going to draw,
then draw on paper.

934
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,787
- Stop that, Papa!
- Ouch, ouch. Ouch.

935
00:58:19,871 --> 00:58:23,666
Even if we're apart
or even if we see other people.

936
00:58:23,750 --> 00:58:26,961
Huh? Where'd that come from?
Is it your mama?

937
00:58:27,045 --> 00:58:29,797
- I'm saving...
- Ouch! Ow, stop it!

938
00:58:29,881 --> 00:58:32,967
- ...all my love for you. For you, for you.
- Ah!

939
00:58:34,177 --> 00:58:35,970
- Oh!
- All my love for you!

940
00:58:36,054 --> 00:58:38,848
- Ah! No! Not another mess.
- All my love for you.

941
00:58:38,932 --> 00:58:40,850
- Yuck!
- This is boring.

942
00:58:40,934 --> 00:58:43,019
Okay, let's go to the bathroom.

943
00:58:43,102 --> 00:58:47,398
Why not? You said you wanted to poop.

944
00:58:47,482 --> 00:58:49,317
Come on, it's time to go.

945
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:50,860
Yoji, come on.

946
00:58:50,944 --> 00:58:52,403
- Mr. Shoji!
- Yoji, Yoji.

947
00:58:52,487 --> 00:58:53,321
Huh?

948
00:58:53,404 --> 00:58:55,657
- See?
- Sorry, sorry, sorry.

949
00:58:57,408 --> 00:59:00,119
- Oh my gosh, it's Soda.
- Uh-oh, what's the problem?

950
00:59:00,203 --> 00:59:01,663
- I don't know what to do.
- Hi!

951
00:59:01,746 --> 00:59:03,081
I can't fold the stroller.

952
00:59:03,164 --> 00:59:05,875
Yoji says he has to poop,
but there's no toilet around.

953
00:59:05,959 --> 00:59:08,211
I can't get a taxi,
and there's no bus coming.

954
00:59:08,294 --> 00:59:10,463
Plus, we got lost walking.

955
00:59:10,547 --> 00:59:15,134
I go into a café, and Yoji starts to cry,
and everybody just gets so mad!

956
00:59:15,218 --> 00:59:17,136
Society is not nice to fathers!

957
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:18,346
Calm down.

958
00:59:18,429 --> 00:59:20,056
Here, try some of this bread.

959
00:59:21,266 --> 00:59:24,352
No one else has tried
to be so understanding.

960
00:59:25,812 --> 00:59:29,065
No need to cry.
Why don't you have a coffee instead?

961
00:59:29,148 --> 00:59:31,901
- Oh, thank you so much.
- Hmm. And for you, juice.

962
00:59:31,985 --> 00:59:33,361
- Juice is nice.
- Oh!

963
00:59:33,444 --> 00:59:35,113
That's just your life story.

964
00:59:35,196 --> 00:59:36,489
Yeah, we don't care.

965
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:38,616
What are you trying to say?

966
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:41,035
I'm saying that we can't judge
until we do it.

967
00:59:41,119 --> 00:59:42,620
Kids as well as this work.

968
00:59:42,704 --> 00:59:44,289
Do you agree, Ms. Arita?

969
00:59:44,372 --> 00:59:45,582
I remember you.

970
00:59:45,665 --> 00:59:49,794
You criticized my misogynistic remarks
when you were on the opposing side.

971
00:59:49,877 --> 00:59:51,296
I didn't forget that.

972
00:59:51,379 --> 00:59:54,340
I figured
an accomplished cabinet member like you

973
00:59:54,424 --> 00:59:57,635
would want to make society easier
for the people here.

974
00:59:57,719 --> 00:59:58,720
What do you think?

975
00:59:58,803 --> 01:00:01,139
Now that you're in control,
you've gone quiet.

976
01:00:01,222 --> 01:00:03,057
So do something to change things.

977
01:00:03,141 --> 01:00:06,519
We've had no progress at all
in terms of the childcare initiative.

978
01:00:06,603 --> 01:00:08,855
I'm not trying to attack you.

979
01:00:08,938 --> 01:00:11,399
It's important to be able to fail.

980
01:00:13,985 --> 01:00:15,612
People make mistakes,

981
01:00:16,279 --> 01:00:19,824
get married on a whim, divorced on a whim.

982
01:00:19,907 --> 01:00:22,452
No one knows that when you divorce,

983
01:00:22,952 --> 01:00:25,121
you end up with an X
marked on your record.

984
01:00:25,204 --> 01:00:26,204
An X.

985
01:00:26,247 --> 01:00:29,167
Huh? That's not great, an X.

986
01:00:30,835 --> 01:00:32,587
Have an open mind.

987
01:00:33,588 --> 01:00:34,797
An X or not,

988
01:00:35,298 --> 01:00:37,258
you can rebuild your life.

989
01:00:39,385 --> 01:00:40,511
Please listen,

990
01:00:40,595 --> 01:00:42,513
including you, Mr. Prime Minister.

991
01:00:44,182 --> 01:00:47,977
Don't be stopped by your fear of mistakes.

992
01:00:49,103 --> 01:00:52,273
We should be tolerant of the opposition.

993
01:00:54,317 --> 01:00:55,985
If we can manage that,

994
01:00:56,694 --> 01:00:58,196
it will improve things.

995
01:01:00,031 --> 01:01:01,783
That's my thought.

996
01:01:06,871 --> 01:01:07,871
I'm sorry.

997
01:01:09,499 --> 01:01:10,499
That's all.

998
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,003
For Ehime's fifth district, that was

999
01:01:14,921 --> 01:01:16,381
what they really want.

1000
01:01:16,881 --> 01:01:19,384
Thank you for your time today.
