and I'm not an Olympics

contender,

but I have no regrets

Open the drawer

Use this

Satoko san is the one

who needs a cure

I'll be able to walk again soon

I'm strong, you can

count on me

Hitomi, listen...

What?

I...

I...

Why? Why are you crying?

Did you quit because of me?

Was it me?

That's not right

No, don't give up

Your dream is special

Your dream is special

His name is Kanayama

Toshio, age 75

He called about 1 hour ago, saying

his left side wasn't moving

You'll be fine

Just wait here, OK?

We can't find your mother yet

I'll tell the nurse to have her

come later

Grandpa...

Grandpa's working hard

Be a good boy, and wait, OK?

Security

Ouch

Come at me

Keita?

You say I'm home

Welcome home, Keita

I'm home

Welcome

I'm home

Hello

Thank you

Found the super?

Right away

Welcome home

I'm home

Your food is tasty

When did you start

working as a cook?

Right after graduating high

school and coming to Tokyo

Keita, show it to Grandpa

That funny face you made

Whose face?

So?

Really tasty

Right?

The old man's stroke was light

so he's back at work

So that's not a financial burden

It's her father's house

so there's no rent

But her husband died, right?

How old is the boy?

Yeah, they got his life insurance

And she's a public servant

She's got plenty of income

What someone like her needs

is someone to help out

Once you get used to letting

someone take care of you,

you can't give it up

Yeah, it won't take long at all

I mean, she's not the type

to snoop around

So when the time is right,

I'll mention that you're sick

Done

Sounds promising

Work hard

Watch the fire

I'll be back by 6

See you later

See you

Dojima Detective Agency

It depends on what you want

Get your money back

or put him in jail

That is,

if we get unassailable proof that

he deliberately lied to you

in order to swindle

your money

How much jail time

would he get?

The offense is fraud,

Iess than 10 years

It depends on whether he pays

the victims back and how many others

he swindled, but I'd say 5 to 6 years

How is his prison term judged?

It's judged by how long

it will take to rehabilitate,

I guess

Rehabilitate?

Well, you know

Who is the rehabilitation for?

For society's sake or his own?

It certainly doesn't concern me

Why should I go public for that,

and become a laughingstock

Will you be laughed at?

My family already does

Lavish money on a penniless suitor

because he dangles marriage,

even loan him money

It's pathetic

You think it's pathetic?

My wife happily loaned me 5 million

when my business was in trouble,

before we married

If she actually marries you,

it's a heroic story

I envy your wife

For marrying me?

For marrying someone

You know, marriage isn't

all it's made out to be

I know that

I'm just tired of being seen as

someone who can't even get married

You think it's no wonder

I can't

Seaweed with vinegar, please

Just a minute

Satoko san

Yes

Octopus tempura

I'm so sorry

We can't make that today

OK, daikon pickles

Coming right up

You're so busy

Thanks...

Sorry to keep you waiting

Hello!

Yes, it's me, Satoko

Have you been well, Father?

Yes, the two of us are

managing well together

He knows he has to work

really hard now and he is

He's not home yet tonight

You know how many

friends he has

Oh, New Years?

Yes

We were just saying

how nice it would be visit you

What? No, I'm fine

Oh, no

I'm fine

Mommy, Kanya

You're good

Not really

Are you OK lady?

What's your name again?

Keita

That's right Keita,

can you pull me

up, please?

Ichizawa

Say "Off you go"

Makes it easier

Off you go

That's good, good

You're good, Keita

This knife is blunt

Where did mine go?

You're not done yet!

Keita!

Keita!

Where is it?

What?

Oh, well

Ichizawa san?

Tanahashi Satsuki is

your girlfriend, right?

Satsuki, the one you were

going to marry...

Just a minute!

Sorry to bother you

when you're busy

Excuse me, who are you?

Me? I'm...

Call me Mister

No way, go to her

You have to

Go! Talk to her!

No, talk to her

Why are you running away?

Hey, you!

Why are you running away!

Hey, why! Why!

Ichizawa

Oops, sorry!

It's OK

Were your

pants lowered?

They were

Say something!

I said, say something!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Why!

No, no, no

That's enough, now

I told you no hitting

That's a scary face

You OK, buddy?

Yes

Are you sure your face is OK?

Ouch

Keita

Who the hell is Keita?

Let go, let go!

Keita

It's all right, Keita

Give it to me, please

Thank you, you saved me

You're amazing Keita

Let go of him!

You're wrong

Mommy!

Are you OK, Keita?

Police!

What are you doing,

Ichizawa san!

Let's stabilize the wound

You're showing your age,

Dojima san

You let a rank amateur

stab you

You're making me sad

When I asked him why

he had that knife, he said,

"I'm a chef,

"it was the only thing

I escaped from the fire with"

What a jerk

It was like this...

It came out like this

and I'm not sure why...

You wound up stabbing him

from behind

It's pretty expensive

No, I'll introduce you then

Is that cheap?

It's cheap

Really?

So, that?

You don't trust me very much

do you, Sato?

That's not true

Shall we ask him?

Sato

Manager, excuse me but...

Sato

I have promises

to keep

Good evening

Excuse us

Good evening

Left, turn left!

March in place!

Forward march!

Move your shoulders forward

and relax your arms

One clean and 3 lifts

OK:

I kept you waiting

Whose birthday was it?

You drank a sweet drink?

Really? Whose birthday?

Take care

I apologize about

what happened

right after I'd asked

your opinion

Yes, you're right,

I am aware of that

No, no, no, of course

that was not my intention
