with someone

Which is why I can't stand

my feelings getting all

messed up over the money

So I'm asking you,

please don't stay involved in this

What? Hey,

hello?

Satsuki, you were

so worried about me,

but you never...

If you...

If you get sick of

waiting for me,

and gradually wear down...

I can't bear to see you like that!

I want at least

you to be happy!

Hey, hey, wait

That's not why I brought it...

It was a short time,

but thank you for everything

What?

My memories with you,

I'll treasure all my life

No! Stop it,

how did this happen?

Kanya?

Hello!

Hello! Kanya!

Say, hello

Hello...

I'm heading out

Thanks

Ichizawa? He quit

Promissory Note

Let's work hard

Open our place as soon as we can

and pay them back double

He's not the type

who can do that

Yes, he could never lie

Exactement!

He's so gentle

I'm so sorry, everyone

I'll speak to him about it

You're wrong. Actually,

he hadn't been feeling well

Oh, residual pain from the fire

No, he hit his head as a child

He has a tumor like this in his head

which can really hurt him sometimes

Yes, I recommended

a doctor to him

Maybe I went with him...

Rental Space on River Front

Sky Tree View

This one is really big

In here, we could build a circular

counter in the middle,

made from a plank

of unvarnished wood

Unvarnished wood is a pain!

When we worked at Yoshida,

we always had to polish it

Yoshida...

Yeah, Yoshida!

Just like that place

Hey, this is residential

There aren't any kitchen stations

That riverfront, with views

of the Sky Tree,

is really going to heat up

with people and stores, soon

I'm sick of furnished places

with bad taste

But we can't even open a place

like this for less than 10 million

And pay back...

Hey, cut it out

We got this far

Listen, I'm betting my life

on this

This is my last chance

There's no point in

compromising

Sh*t, why do you always blame me!

Die!

The hell!

I'll kill you!

I'll beat the sh*t out of you!

Cut it out!

The suspects arrested

in the alleged assault

are Sasaki Yosuke and his wife,

Harue, both unemployed

According to the in vestigation,

they became enraged

when their oldest daughter, Anna,

spit out her food this month,

and put her feet in the baby bath

filled with scalding water

H ow co u I d they do i t together?

O ne of them shou I d 've stopped it

She was j ust 2 years old

They're total ly twisted

They should get the same treatment

How awful

Employment Counseling

Hel lo, I'm cal ling

from Hello Work,

about the jobs at Tomari-an

Two people are here applying

Yes, that's right

One for the manager and chef

and the other to

wait on customers

They're both experienced

An older brother

and his sister

Yes, his sister

Can you

please check that the place

will totally be in our hands?

I'll ask

And what the average sale

per customer is?

And the percentage

of female customers?

Hello, excuse me

Tomari-an

For real?

For you and for me

For sure?

I'm even performing

at Suzunari

That's all fine and good

but I've heard...

Mrs. Wonderful

Terumi, age 30

To cleanse us from our sins,

to welcome us to our heavenly home

Hel lo

T erumi?

Y es, shal I we go?

No one other than Jesus can

cleanse us from our sins

I ' m head i ng out

Thanks

There are 1 0 more m i nutes left

of free time

Try to change your partners

as often as possible,

to meet as many people

as you can

Is weight lifting

in the Olympics?

Yes

Do you try out for that?

Last time, I had an accident

and it didn't work out

But I'm trying out

for next time

Amazing! I never met

an Olympic athlete before

I'm not one yet

I'll have my picture

taken with you

What's the most you've lifted?

Um, the most is 142 kilograms

weighs!

Here goes

OK, Cheese

Strike out, huh?

Where were all the men?

Eastern Japan Women 's

Weight Lifting

Success

Set your weights to 1 44 kilograms

Exhale slowly

Inhale deeply

Breathe again

Weight 1 44 kilograms

#5, High School teacher,

Minagawa Hitomi's 3rd try

Go get 'em!

I'll do my best!

Amazing, amazing!

Success

That concludes the Women's

Clean and Jerk Competition

Actually, today's the first day

that I ever

Iifted that much weight

Wow, so you don't lift

championship weights everyday

No, every time I lift that much,

it damages my body

So the competition is everything

I train with much lower weights

I get it, it's like kitchen prep

Yes, I think that's right

Didn't you want to quit

when you wounded your knee?

Yes, I stopped leaving the house

because

nothing good would happen

You rotted away

Everything around me,

made me wish,

if I only I hadn't lifted it

Like, always the same dream

Right!

You'll eat one more dish?

Yes

Brother, what's this?

Time to split?

I'm going to the ladies room

Sure

What? What's wrong?

What? I just...

You're going after that?

She was your idea

I know that

I just started feeling sorry

For who?

For her?

No, no, no

Who? Me?

I mean, can you

do it with her?

I mean, there's a limit

If I were a man, I don't think...

I mean, she's sweet

How can you say that?

What?

You feel sorry?

I feel much more sorry for the world

you see through your eyes

I'll do my best!

Asian Weight Lifting

Qualifying Rounds

Success

She set a new record for

the Clean and Jerk competition

Let's congratulate her

with applause

Minagawa's Clean and Jerk

record lift was 146 kilograms

Amazing

That wasn't the weight of steel

but your 15 years effort

I feel like I'm watching

a human create a miracle

It makes me all excited

to think maybe I can

do something like it

It's not a miracle

Honestly, when I think

about the future,

I wonder how long

I can keep lifting weights

Why? Why do you say that?

If I keep at it,

this is all I'll know

Thinking I could die

not knowing

anything about an ordinary life,

makes me feel

totally inferior

Ordinary life, meaning

get married and have babies?

You can't have that

doing what you want?

Do what you want!

What's to feel inferior?

But that's...

Impossible

It's not impossible,

you just think it is!

You can carry your baby

and push your father's wheelchair

and all go to the Olympics

together

That's...

Meet Terumi at Camellia Cafe at 7

Any handover today?

Don 't forget promissory note

Hang in there, Satoko

I've got to go

Sleep i n tomorrow

You won 't stay over?

Satoko isn 't feel i ng wel I these days

What, what's wrong?

It's not a big deal

What is it?

It's fine

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday,

dear Daddy

Congratulations on turning 60

Happy birthday to you

That's it

But I probably can't

call you next year

I'm thinking of studying abroad

Well, maybe Canada

I'm still deciding

My loan? I mostly paid it back

But Daddy, if my husband visits,

don't tell him about this call

Oh, it's my job

Well, it doesn't really matter

At least I'm alive

Be well, give my best to Ako

Don't get drunk and

kick her again

Yes
