Original subtitles

- We're home. - Welcome home, Mom.

- Welcome home to you too, Dad! - I'm home.

Did you all behave?

We ran out of things we could help out with.

We can no longer sell salt, and all the Daneihon's gone.

Tachibana Salt Company is open but not doing business.

Isn't Uncle Manpei coming home?

- We don't know. - Japanese laws don't apply to

- Occupation Forces, they say. - Kanbe-san can't come home either?

Do you like Kanbe-kun that much?

Fine. When Kanbe-kun comes home,

you can get married.

- What! - Taka never said anything about that.

- Really?! - But you have to graduate first.

Thank you, Dad!

I'll go wash my face.

I wonder how Taka-chan's doing.

Maybe she's forgotten all about us.

She wouldn't.

I'm sure Taka-chan's worried.

But it's not about us.

- Taka-chan... - Damn.

Do you guys like Taka-chan?

Don't you think Taka-chan's a nice girl?

But Kanbe-san's 10 years older than her.

So what?

Manpei-kun and Fuku-chan are exactly 10 years apart too, right?

- Yes. - Really?!

- Why are you taking Kanbe-san's side, President? - That's not fair.

I just spoke the truth.

The important thing is, who will Taka-chan choose.

I think she's already in love with me.

Not hardly. Girls that age constantly change their mind.

Charlie.

Is it true you don't like Japan?

What's it to you?

- I can understand. - Sera-san.

During the war, Japanese-Americans went through painful times there, huh?

You must have resented the fact that your parents were Japanese.

Shut up.

But you know, Charlie.

Japan's a nice country. From season to season...

Shut up, idiot!

What would you know?

Who's the idiot! When I'm being nice to you.

Americans shouldn't be talking in Osaka dialect, idiot!

- What did you say? - What?

Shigeru Kanbe.

Shigeru Kanbe.

Yes.

Come on.

You'll be fine.

Is it true you're a graduate of Osaka Imperial University?

Yes.

It would be regrettable to punish you with the others.

Jimmy.

If you tell us the truth, we'll let you go.

The truth?

Tachibana Manpei was contemplating a coup d-etat.

He got those hand grenades for that purpose.

Right?

That's all you need to say, and you'll be free.

No.

President had no such thought.

I was Tachibana Salt Company's first employee.

When I came home from war with nowhere to go,

President and Fukuko-san helped me.

- Fukuko? - She's the president's wife.

My husband never ever does anything like that!

President and Madam are my ideal married couple.

- What! - What is it?

All right.

Bad news?

They want to question us.

Question us?

The Occupation Forces people are going to ask you and me all kinds of things.

Me too?!

Manpei-san and the others' fate may depend on us.

What!

Ow, ow, ow... Ouch...

This is not the time to be getting a stomachache.

His employees admire him.

Manpei Tachibana never invoked them in any crime.

I attest for it as an employee of Tachibana Engyo...

Good boy, good boy.

You don't suppose Suzu-san and Fuku-chan were called in by Occupation Forces

- only to be detained there, do you? Don't say such a terrible thing!

Oh, sorry, Gen-chan.

Sorry, sorry.

What should I do? I'm getting nervous again.

You're the daughter of a samurai, aren't you, Mom?

I am the daughter of a samurai.

That's right.

I raised Fukuko properly.

Manpei-san is the man that Fukuko chose.

There is no way Fukuko would choose a weird man.

That's because Fukuko is my daughter, and I am the daughter of a samurai.

Minamoto no Yoshitsune is our ancestor.

Please talk about Manpei Tachibana.

I will talk about him, of course.

But before I do, there's one thing I must tell you.

An American like you probably wouldn't know.

Minamoto no Yoshitsune was called Ushiwakamaru in his childhood...

Come in.

Get in.

Excuse me.

So, when did you start learning English?

I started learning English...

when I was a child.

Rich family, huh?

Yes, we were

when my father was alive.

My family became poor after he died.

But my mother told me to continue studying.

She's very wise.

If you insist that Tachibana Manpei is innocent, I'd like for you to provide evidence.

Evidence...

I don't have it.

But...

But?

Manpei-san is a very busy man.

After coming to Izujmiotsu,

he thought about making salt using iron plates in the warehouse.

Then he got his employees together

and together, they worked their tail off

and finally reached the point where we can make monthly shipment to the Monopoly Bureau.

After that, seeing my health deteriorate after giving birth to our child,

he realized there were many people in this world suffering from malnutrition...

So this time, he came up with the idea of making nutritious food.

Is that Daneihon?

Yes.

But that didn't come about easily.

He agonized and agonized and agonized over it... And that's how Daneihon came to be.

With everyone.

That's why everyone is...they're...

His...his employees admire him.

Manpei-san never invoked them in any crime.

I attest for it as an employee of Tachibana Engyo and

as the wife of the president that

Manpei Tachibana and

his employees are innocent.

That's enough.

Please let me see Manpei-san.

Please.

No.

Then at least a letter...

To Everyone

I'll give this to him if it passes censorship.

Please.

Please take care of yourself and try not to catch a cold.
