How could he have passed away,

without saying a word to me!

Excuse me

I don't mean to be rude,

but how did you know my brother?

Are you his sister, then?

How I longed to meet you

He always liked to say,

"My sister is so kind"

I'm letting go

How's the placement of

the wreath from Nojima's Office?

I don't know, right next

to the Yamagata wreath?

Or...

maybe next to Todo's wreath...

I think it looks great there

No, maybe Yamagata...

Maybe right by the entrance...

- Is it OK here?

- It's fine

I still think it'd be better...

Let's move all the tables

up a little

And let's divide the guest books

into court-related,

Attorney General's Office-related,

academic and the general public

We'll just leave guest books

on the tables,

and leave the funeral offering

records in a box

Excuse me

I'm sorry to be late

I heard you were shorthanded

Oh, I see, why thank you

This loss was so sudden...

Indeed it was

Oh,

my name is Nagasaki

Nagasaki - Attorney at Law

Why yes, he'd told me about you

He always liked to say

"Nagasaki's really on the ball"

You must be joking

Um...

Please sign-in over here

So, Nagasaki san, can I

leave you in charge here?

Oh, why yes...

Thank you, then

Akechl

Akechl

Nakatani was an interesting kid

when she was in my class

She's a good kid

Yes, she is

She's a good kid, but sometimes

I can't figure out what she's thinking

She kind of scares me

I don't like the challenge

in those cool eyes

Like somebody else I know

Who? You mean, me?

He's fast asleep

Grandpa's not feeling very well

I'm sorry, Kamata san

I'm sorry

I didn't even get to meet him

Oh, no, we're the ones at fault

Kamata san, please start

while it's hot

But your husband's not...

Her husband?

Is that odd?

How about "father?"

But he wouldn't want me to call

him "father," at our first meeting

I'd hate to lose points on that one...

Not to worry,

he's very understanding

He's quite proud

He doesn't want to act childish,

he wants to seem with-it

Please, have some beer

But let's wait a little longer

Who knows when he'll show up

The night is still young

Calm down, Mother

Am I flustered?

Like you're staring

at an endangered species

How old are you, Kamata san?

I'm thirty-something,

31, soon

Oh my, year of the Boar

That was fast

Year of the Boars are very strange

Obsessive and quick to react,

but blindly

And they get quite frantic

All my friends are like that

Right?

Mother, why not try

calling Dad again?

I doubt I'll get through

Try him again

How did she figure

that out so fast?

I don't know

I guess she's into it

Beer's OK?

Yeah, sure, sure

You don't even like beer

Stop pretending

Grandpa!

Oh, father

I'm sorry, come, father

Nice to meet you

Such a lovely home

Chief, sir!

I'm sorry

Father, you're awake

You seem much better

I wasn't asleep even

for a moment

Oh, sorry, kept you waiting

You've kept him waiting

Sheriff!

Sir! Director General

Reporting home

That damned meeting

just dragged on and on

You could have called

How? From a meeting?

They go on and on

about the stupidest things

I'm very sorry

Welcome to our home

I'm Kamata Kensaku

Forgive me for imposing

Oh, not at all

Please, have a seat

Oh, thank you

A toast, then

Dad, he doesn't drink beer...

Oh, no it's fine

Oh, no, we want you to be yourself

At ease, at ease

What do you usually start with?

A glass of sherry or sparkling wine...

Have any wine?

But you have to warn me

Wine, huh?

I can't serve cooking wine, right?

Oh, I'm easy

Beer's just fine

Oh, well, thanks

A beer toast, then

Dear

Oh, why thank you

Thank you

Your turn, father...

Oh, thank you

Grandpa

Dear

I'm sorry

I'm fine, I'll pour my own

A toast, then

Welcome to our home

Nice to meet you

Cheers

- Um...

- Your work...

- Excuse me, you go first

- No, you first

Oh, no, you're the guest

Well, thank you

Um... your work

seems to keep you really busy

Not busy, really,

but with this economy,

manufacturing's in a squeeze

Our meetings run late every day,

just trying to get by

My hat's off to you

I'm off the free market

But I hear it's tough

in the schools these days

Neither teachers nor students

are the same these days

When I read about teachers refusing

to go to school or committing suicide,

I get frightened,

wondering if she's next

Tomoko's fine

She's got a solid disposition

I'm much more likely

to get carried away

How can you say that?

Women are so strong

We men are likely to get

eaten up some day

I know we men are

doomed to extinction

No, no, serve Kanno san here

another bowl of rice

It's Kamata san, dear

You only got the K right

Oh, excuse me, Kamata san

Gotta watch those slippery K's

The phone

Your father's interesting

Yes, he is

Akechi san, you're getting

to be a real problem

I've already gone over it

with the Division Chief

What Division Chief?

Not good enough?

No way

So I've got to go myself?

What a pain

I'll be sending Sato to see you

Sure, sure, sure

Funeral

Funeral

Please

Great work

Please, go have a bite

Hardly a relaxing meal

I was mortified

Not at all

Everybody in your family's so open

I really enjoyed myself

Well, I'm glad

Your dad's going back to work now

Tough, being a company man

He acts stuffy, but he's so

sweet he takes on thankless work

An honest man's always a poor one

No, seriously, I'm really moved

My Dad was born with a silver spoon,

inherited his wealth,

so it's like, he just

lacks conviction, somehow

In a word, he's stagnating

But you'll inherit his

I'm so uncomfortable with that

But about your grandfather...

Shocked? He's been like that

a year and a half now

Must be hard on your mom

But she's the only one

Grandpa really trusts

And in some ways,

she depends on his need

It's like they both need each other

That's so admirable

So strong

Stop singing our praises

But I felt like Mom

took a liking to you, too

Your eyes are exactly like hers

You're strong like your mother

and a hard worker, like your father

I'm sure it can't be easy,

but you have a wonderful family

We're just average

Just a normal, normal family

That's what's so wonderful

What was with that

"Sparkling wine" crap?

Who does he think he is?

I should've said,

"Oh, Sherry, who's that?"

He must come from a good family

Who cares. It takes a day

of real sweat and blood

to appreciate a glass of beer

But you yourself said,

"It's tough in the schools, too"

Finish college and

go right back into school

By the time they're 22,

kids call 'em "Teacher"

They don't know sh*t

about real life

Tomoko's a teacher, too

Girls don't need

to go out into real world

In any case,

he sure seemed like a wimp

Totally conventionally refined,

full of himself

Don't you think?

You can't stand unconventionality

Hey, take care of this mess

I can't take them from him

He makes a huge fuss

His suspicious streak's still...

Don't. He understands

What a human wreck
