Can't we do something?

That pigsty

It stinks so bad it's bad for business

Do you have a moment?

Huh?

Sure

Every cafe needs clean water

We sell these now

Water filters

He's a water expert from the mainland

But we already have one

A lease, I see

The monthly filter replacement must be pricy

Not that bad

With this product here,

the filter would last one year

Much more cost-effective

But it's so big

I have nowhere to put it

We could mount it on a wall and extend the hose

I don't know...

With this one...

Excuse me, if I may

You could even put it right there

But I already have one

You can pay in installments with your gas bill

Right, boss?

Right

I don't know, I think it'll be in the way...

This isn't working

What?

You heard me

You promised more

Explain this to me, will you?

It's not me the customers are buying from

Huh?

Look,

the customers are buying from you, the Meguro Company

You're a phone call away

The decades of trust you built as the local gas provider

That's the appeal

That's the tremendous advantage you have

as a gas provider

But even after three visits...

Then let's ask ourselves why people aren't buying

The Meguro Company is the one leading this sales campaign

Then what?

It's our fault?

No no, that's not what I mean

But there must be a reason, somewhere

Cut the bullshit

Following the end of the Kaitan Dock strike,

the company announced a new voluntary retirement plan

to help alleviate the downsizing

The union reportedly agreed to this

At the press conference held today,

the company announced the plan will start with shipbuilding workers,

and then expand to the repairs division

Ultimately, by next March...

Good morning, sir

Good morning

Boss, someone named Sasagawa called

Says he can meet tonight

Sure, thanks

December Sales

This yours?

Yes

- Sure is - I see

What do we do about the collection tomorrow?

What do you mean?

That Sasa apartment...

Oh, that one

He doesn't pay, cut service

Are you sure?

You're only meeting Sasagawa

Why dress up?

It's work

What's your problem?

My tie

God, you're useless

Is there someone else?

Meguro residence

Akira has cram school

I know

Connecting to a voice mailbox

Please leave a brief message after the beep

Hey, it's me. I can't see you tonight

I'm meeting Sasagawa

I'll call again later

Elm Cram School

Excuse me

Yes?

My name's Meguro

Your son didn't come today

Thank you

So you're remodeling your hotel?

So that's what you want

What do you mean?

I was wondering why you asked to meet

They're 40,000 yen per unit, but I'll give you a deal

Near wholesale price

You see, the rep is in town now

I don't need profit

But wait a minute

What's the point?

Why are you doing this?

Right?

Yeah

I'll consider it, so loosen up

You're so uptight, man

Meguro Company

This is all your fault, you know

Don't give me that eye!

I jammed the toilet

Seriously?

Oh well

You girls are late!

Sorry, bad traffic

Long time no see, Meguro!

Let's change seats

Yeah

Can we all move over there?

Certainly

He says yes

Cool

Hey

Good to see you

What were you talking about?

He's trying to sell me water filters

Who needs'em?

- Lemme see - Someone buy it

Forget it

Hey, you should invite Katsuko

Nah

Constellation Chart

Nice suit

I called you earlier

I know, but there were people around

So you haven't told them yet

But they probably know

Let's go to a hotel

The Goliath Crane, a mainstay in the port's history,

will be dismantled by June.

The massive crane is 70 meters tall, 110 meters wide...

What?

Listen, stop with those water filters

Why?

Idiot, it's pointless selling those things

No more, got it?

Why is it pointless?

Huh?

How can you say that?

Yoshie

Yes?

Bring me some tap water

Water?

- Forget it - Do it!

Just let me do my thing

Our business has always been selling gas

- We sell rice, too - You listen to me!

Try it

Quit smoking and try it

Filter replacements will give us steady income

And how many have you sold?

How much can you make?

- I'm in charge now... - Idiot!

They all come to me complaining about it

So stop selling them, "boss"

Haruo?

Who were you with?

Akira

Wait, your kid's sleeping

Enough with that

Now he's your kid, too

You awake?

Show me your face

No

C'mon

Show me your face

Ow

Heavy?

A fight?

With who?

I see

Thought I wouldn't know?

You dare do that again, I'll hurt you worse than this

Don't take it out on me!

What?

Whatever happened with Chieko, don't take it out on me

What? What's Chieko got to do with any of this?

You don't know anything

You don't know anything about me

I'm not a babysitter!

You better make me happy

Let's start the morning meeting. Attention!

Good morning

Good morning

Looking at our sales reports,

unfortunately the numbers are still low

But so far, we've been sowing seeds

Now, we need you to show what the Meguro Company is made of

That's all from me

Let's make today a good one

Yes, sir

Takasugi

What's the update on this unit?

Oh, the Sasa apartment...

It's impossible. The guy just won't pay

I can hear his TV, but he won't come to the door

He's pretty rotten

Look who's talking!

He was there, right?

Yes, but he's a yakuza...

But he was there!

Yes

Why don't you quit?

What's wrong, boss?

Nothing

I'll handle that unit

Hey, how do you write "telescope?"

Telescope?

Te-le-scope

There

Asking Santa for one?

No

No?

No, Santa isn't real

What're you doing?

It's okay, I'm not busy

You never ask me anything, Akira

Hello, Meguro Company

Um, is the president in?

Hello?

What is this regarding?

I was hoping to learn more about water filters

Should I have him go there?

Chieko, right?

No, that's not me

I'll call again

Goddammit!

Hey, what's wrong?

What happened?

I crushed my toe

You okay?

You're crying?

- Hey - Yeah?

Go bring some band-aid

You're so smart!

I'll be right back

Freezing, huh?

The forecast is snow for tonight's Christmas Eve

The chance of snow looks like 80% through midnight...

What happened?

Crushed my toe

Where are they?

Your wife's shopping

Shopping?

Where's Akira?

He's... doing fine

What's wrong?

Akira?

Starting tomorrow, you can stay with Grandpa

Alright?

Boss, I should get going

Boss?

With all due respect,

you need to resolve this

I know

She's insane

I'll take her to a clinic

Good night

Igawa was missing since early on new year's day

when he and his sister went up Mount Gagyu

According to police, his body slid down a cliff

and was found caught midway

Due to difficult access, the body will be dropped to the sea,

where it'll be recovered by a Coast Guard vessel

So you're alive, Gure
