She hasn't come home since yesterday?

Where did Sawa-san go?

She's on a trip with a friend.

Where?

Um... where was it...

She left you, didn't she?

As if.

Why would Sawa leave?

Because she fell in love with somebody else.

Something's wrong with you, Mother.

That is pure imagination.

Then why are you taking off work?

Something terrible must have happened.

Oh wait, now I remember, she went to Hakone.

She just texted me. She's relaxing at a hotel by the ocean.

Can't you think of a better lie?

Hakone is not by the ocean, it's by Ashinoko Lake!

I heard everything!

What is going on here?

Forget about you, to think Sawa-san is cheating, who is the other man!

Hello?

This is Kitano. Is your wife there?

She's not here.

I thought so.

My husband's been gone since last night too.

Your husband too?

You knew, right?

They were having an affair.

No, I did not.

Forgive me, but this is your fault.

You didn't treat her right, that's why your wife seduced my husband!

Please find them.

Find them and split them up!

Bring back my husband!

Please leave a message.

Hi. It's Rikako.

I guess you're still on your flight.

I got my salary in advance and bought a cell phone.

It's the first time in 15 years that I was paid for my work!

That's why I wanted you to be the first one I called.

Please call me so I know you got there safely.

Bye.

Hi.

It's been a while.

What?

You look different.

I'm in a hurry.

Easy there. I'm over you now.

To me, you're just a friend.

It's not like me to be friends with an ex, but whatever.

And what can I do for you?

Do you know what Sawa-chan is doing?

Sawa-chan... did something happen?

They found out at the supermarket about her thing with the professor.

She hasn't come to work.

I got worried because she turned off her cell phone.

Has it been a while?

I know I'm probably just being paranoid, but do you think she's all right?

The caller you have dialed

is currently unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

[Love Affairs in the Afternoon]

The weather's great!

There's not much around

but I lived here for a month for research in college.

I'm glad you brought me to such a memorable place for you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm hungry.

Yes, I'm starving.

Good, let me cook something.

Talking about little things, eating meals together.

I cherished every moment of that unassuming time we had together.

I know this is not a sustainable way of life.

This is a fleeting moment of make-believe

we gained by losing something far too great.

Let's eat.

- I know. - Hmm?

There's a forest not far from here, do you want to go on a picnic?

Picnic?

What?

That's not a word I pictured you saying.

Then what should I say?

Hmm, a walk?

That's too normal.

It's a forest, remember?

A stroll? Or a saunter?

Why not just call it an adventure?

If you're going there, I think it sounds cooler if we're going to wander.

Wander? That's a bit extreme.

Like we wouldn't make it back alive.

Do you think everybody is looking for us?

We can't keep running away forever.

I don't recognize this number.

Sawa-chan?

Hello, Rikako-san?

You dummy! Where are you?

You're with Professor Kitano, right?

How do you know?

You wouldn't answer your phone, so I called your home.

Your husband and mother-in-law, and Noriko-san too

they all know that you two are with each other.

I'm sorry.

You're so stupid! How did you get so carried away?

What are you planning to do?

I'm not sure yet.

Please, let me stay in this dream for just a little longer.

Your love affair is not a dream, this is your real life.

When you fall in love with someone, sometimes it can change your entire life.

You need to stop and learn to think things through a little more.

I think I've earned my right to tell you that.

If you act on your feelings alone, the end can't be that far off.

At that time, I wasn't able to face reality.

And I don't think Rikako-san was ready either.

The theme is Destruction.

It's very passionate, perfect for this city.

I want a large work that will be the gallery's main attraction.

I'll start work on it as soon as I'm back in Japan.

Let us borrow this for a second.

You look happy.

Let's celebrate. I'll make dinner reservations.

Kato-san? Could you come here please?

For this main work

do you have a theme in mind?

Hi, it's Rikako.

I guess you're still on your flight.

[Delete voicemail?]

[Message deleted.]

Where's the soy sauce?

Oh right, the refrigerator.

It's out.

Where are you?

Damn it. Where are you?

Where did you go?

Mama?

It's you. What is it?

You never take time off work, but you called in sick for a week straight.

I got worried.

- I'm coming in! - Wait...

I see your wife left.

She'll be back.

A lot of things happened after you interrogated her like that.

I think the one who's guilty of something is at fault

not the one asking the questions.

That is...

I feel so sorry for you.

I mean, even now your wife could be happily getting it on with her lover.

- Do you remember this? - Oh, what was it...

Four star something?

No, you have a bad memory.

Four star burrowing beetle.

Who would remember that?

Say it.

Come on, say it.

All right, sir. Four star something beetle.

Hey, you just clicked your tongue at me!

Four star burrowing beetle. Say it.

Four star burrowing beetle.

Good job.

Back then, I never thought we'd be here.

You said this stinks, remember?

It stinks.

Your expression was funny.

Funny and cute.

What? Funny and what?

Nothing.

Me too. I thought you were strange.

But...

I was...

when I first met you...

a thief.

A thief?

I shoplifted lipstick from the supermarket.

I'm sorry. That bothered you, right?

No. Thank you for telling me.

I don't even know why I did that.

My husband is not a bad person. I didn't have any complaints about my life.

To think I would fall in love with a married man.

I never would have imagined it.

I'm finished!

- Sorry for your trouble. - No problem.

I wanted to do something for you, the man I love.

I'll stop by tomorrow too.

- Are you leaving now? - Yes, I snuck out of work.

I see, I'm sorry.

Thank you.

It's the first time you thanked me looking me straight in the face.

Um, why are you... so nice to me?

Well sir, you're special.

I'm not special.

I know.

Is that right?

You're great at your job.

But once you're off you don't put on airs. You show your humble side.

I think that's special.

Sir?

Sorry.

Could you tell me I'm special again?

You're special.

You're hurting me!

I didn't have complaints about my wife, either.

I married her because I thought she would be a good partner.

But...

I started thinking that she didn't really need me.

That she became associate professor, but I had to leave the lab.

It might still be bothering me.

How small of me.

No.

Thank you, for telling me.

Can I say it?

I could never tell you before.

I thought it was forbidden to.

I love you.

Everything about you.

I love you so much.

I love you...

Me too.

What's wrong?

Your ring.

Oh, I'll take it off.

No, you shouldn't.

You haven't divorced yet.

You're not going to tell me you love me until then?

Sorry. I don't want to feel any shame when I say it.

I know how you feel, but I told you.

I'm sorry. I know there'll be...

Tell me now.

If you tell me now, you don't have to tell me forever.

Whatever.

Wait. Are words that important to you?

Of course. Words are all we have.

'Words are all we have'? That's a bit insulting.

This relationship could dissolve any moment if we don't express our emotions.

Are you going to let me leave?

Go ahead.

You're going to disappear any moment anyway, right?

Fine. Then we should just break up!

I'm relieved. Goodbye!

I hate you!

Ouch.

You're tenacious.

You're stubborn.

Ow!

Do you know about the piggyback grasshopper?

That insect not only carries its partner while mating

but at all times in their lives, even when moving and eating.

Why does the piggyback grasshopper always carry its partner?

We don't know yet.

But it's probably so the partner isn't taken by other males or females.

I see... Insects are honest.

- Sawa-chan. - Yes?

Let's be together.

I can't think of anything special to say, but I want to stay with you.

Thank you.

Please find him no matter what it takes.

I'll bring you the retainer fee and pictures right now.

Thank you.

Yes.

You two...

We're coming in.

What? Wait! What is it?

Where are you?

My husband quit teaching.

We haven't heard anything.

Why would he do that?

He said he's tired. You guys were a handful anyway.

What?

It'll be fine, there will be a replacement soon enough.

I don't want one!

I'm not letting him get away with this.

He promised he would be with us!

Kei-kun, stop!

Why does everyone throw me away!

So what is this going to do!

You shut up!

Stop giving me your crap!

Don't, not that.

Please stop!

Ow!

I'll go home tomorrow.

What we're doing is unforgivable.

That's why I want to sort things out properly.

I'll go with you. I'll talk to my husband.

No. I'll meet with him first. You should wait here.

I don't know what my husband and his mother will say to you.

That's why I want to meet with them.

You're my hero, aren't you?

Not bad, I'd like to think.

I never knew being so happy was so frightening at the same time.

Being selfish, I wished that the world would end in this perfect moment.

Bye.

I packed rice balls.

I'll be going.

Wait!

It might rain.

Don't forget to lock up.

Yes.

Don't look so sad.

It's nothing.

I promise I'll be back by the weekend.

I promise.

A hostage?

It won't affect my daily activities.

Ow!

- Are you all right? - I'm fine! I was just kidding.

Bye. Really this time. Bye.

Sawa-chan!

Please wait for me.

Yes.

I have to wait by myself until he comes back to me.

Just three days.

The longest three days I will ever have to endure.

Sawa-chan!

Rikako-san.

I couldn't help but to come see you. My friend was worried too.

What in the hell are you doing?

Sorry.

Where is he?

What is this? Shunsuke?

Um, Mother, this is...

Stop with your excuses.

I can't believe you would be so foolish at a time like this!

You too! To take advantage of his wife being away!

She doesn't have anything to do with this.

Of course she does!

- Where is your head at? - Leave me alone!

I don't care anymore.

I feel stupid for caring all this time.

I don't give a damn about work and I'll sleep with a girl I don't care about.

Unbelievable.

Why? You seduced me. It's not my fault.

It's all Sawa's fault. Bring your complaints to her!

You are disgusting.

You couldn't even get it up!

I feel refreshed.

It's healthy to say what you want, and to do what you want.

Shunsuke. You still don't get it.

This is why your wife betrayed you.

Shut up you old hag!

I'm just a lowlife whose wife ran away with another man.

I can't help it, I'm the son of your husband, who cheated on you.

Aren't we just the perfect family!

Hello?

So Kitano-san is going to talk with them?

I know it won't be easy.

Divorce is horribly complicated.

I'm not even officially divorced yet.

What are you going to do if he doesn't come back?

If things don't go as planned, he's not going to be able to face you.

Maybe. But I've told myself that things probably won't go as planned anyway.

But, he went, for me.

That's all I could ever ask for.

I even thought I wouldn't mind dying.

If you've gone this far, you need to have faith in him.

You need to believe until you know for certain that this is over.

I knew my ex-girlfriend would know what to say.

Hey.

I am telling myself too, to have faith and wait.

Kato is overseas right now.

With his ex-wife.

What?

He'll be back.

Look at us, wives who thought we could get away with affairs.

Pitying and encouraging each other.

I'm going to have faith.

Have faith in him, and wait.

Me too.

I'll clean things up with Takigawa. Go see my kids too.

I'm truly sorry.

You think an apology is going to suffice for what you have done?

Sawa-san said she wanted to apologize to her husband herself.

But I... I thought it would be appropriate to come meet with you first.

- I'm not talking about... - Mother, be quiet.

Where is Sawa?

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're telling me.

Will you please break up with Sawa-san?

What?

I know this is out of my place to say.

But please, please let me be with Sawa-san.

How dare you say something like that!

You ruined my son's marriage!

No grandchildren yet, but these two got along as happy as can be.

I can't bear to think how my son is suffering!

I like to think I took much better care of my daughter-in-law than normal mothers.

To be repaid like this!

I take responsibility for everything.

If that's the case, then we'll sue for damages.

I won't hesitate going to court and waging a full-out war!

I will do whatever it takes, for as many years as necessary.

I think you're doing things out of order.

These things need to be talked about within the marriage first.

I can't believe that you, the lover, had the face to come to me...

you have no common sense.

I'm very sorry. I'll speak with my wife as well.

Is your wife going to understand?

I also have no intention to divorce Sawa.

I don't care how many divorce papers you send me, I'll rip them all to shreds.

I know what I'm asking you is implausible. I know, but....

Then stop disrespecting me!

Where did you hide Sawa?

I beg you, please, I need Sawa-san.

Do you know what you're saying?

- Get out! - I beg you!

Get out! Get out!

Please! Please!

Get out now!

Oh no, the screw!

Where did it go?

Mana!

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Hina...

She'll be fine. We'll let her rest.

I'm sorry. For leaving without telling you.

It's worse of you to come back without telling us.

You're right.

But I'll let you stay until Hina gets better.

Mommy.

Hina, how do you feel? You'll get better soon.

You came home.

Mana, can I talk to you?

I'm considering officially divorcing your father.

I came to ask you what you would want to do.

How could I decide? I don't care.

I'm home!

How's Hina feeling? Oh. Welcome home.

I came to talk things over.

I'm glad you're here, they need their mother when they're sick.

It's nice to have you back.

Let's put the past behind us.

Wait. I have no intention of rethinking the divorce.

He won't came back to you.

Are you talking about his ex-wife?

Not only that, but his talents seem to have been of a much bigger value

than I ever expected. He has success now.

Out in the world, he'll have a life surrounded by money and celebrities.

Why would he want a housewife in the middle of a divorce and baggage to boot?

This is a great gallery. Thank you.

What are you doing?

I thought you might have had important calls.

I never asked you to do that.

Are you safe? Or are you not coming back? Please tell me if you're not.

Did she call me before this?

She's just going to get in the way of our work.

Please don't misunderstand.

This job is not for you and I.

Then whom is it for?

For me and Rikako.

Please leave a message.

Hi, sorry to call you so late.

I promise I will be back.

Please wait for me.

Do you know what will happen?

I promise I will be back. Please wait for me.

[Delete message]

To want to be with someone.

To want to love someone.

They may all just be desires.

But people can even throw their whole lives away

just to fulfill their desires.

What happened? To your hand.

Oh, this? Just a little something.

Oh no, I didn't try to kill myself.

I'm going to keep living, together with you.

Nori. I'm sorry.

I can't...

It's all my fault.

- No matter how many years it takes... - Where are your glasses?

Tell me, what is it about her?

Sawa-san isn't especially beautiful.

She doesn't have any special talents.

Tell me so I understand.

I don't know what specifically it is that I'm drawn to.

Then what is it?

Is she an enchantress?

Does she have this power to attract men that other women wouldn't understand?

I'm sorry Nori.

For making you say something so utterly unlike yourself.

When I'm with her, I feel confident.

She needs me, soaks up everything

I have to say with every ounce of her being.

I feel this infinite power within myself

pushing me to be the best I can be.

So you have a complex about having an older research scientist as your wife

but you feel better about yourself next to a boring housewife with a part-time job?

You're pathetic.

I'm sorry.

Oh, what to do.

You may be pathetic, but I can't change who the father is.

Father?

I'm pregnant.

Three months along.

I know you may have things you want to do, but throw them aside and become a father.

This baby hasn't done anything wrong.

We were drunk on the thought of living for love.

But living for love had made us forget.

That fate is never kind to those who have committed a crime.

[Finale next week. Extra 15 minutes.]

[Will the end be for the best or the worst?]

It's easy to die, I just jump off.

No!

You just wanted to cheat because you were bored?

Your face tells me you're not ready to give it up yet.

An affair. An unforgivable crime of passion that destroys everything.
