We all need to talk,

before anyone leaves.

Is that real?

It is.

But it isn't loaded, is it?

The bullets are real too.

Take a look.

You said you didn't want

to use a pistol.

Honey, the bullets...

Do you really intend to kill me?!

Do you realize the unpleasant

position I'm in?

I've assembled all the women

my husband has slept with.

Why do I have to be here?

This isn't easy for me either!

This is all your fault!

Don't touch him!

He's bleeding.

He's badly injured.

He's dead.

I aimed for his heart.

- He's dead?!

Let's get out of here. Go.

Hurry.

I'm getting married.

It'll be a happy, healthy marriage.

I'll start over.

Until today, Kaze was a burden to me,

and today, his wife was too.

My plans are shot to hell. I had nothing

to do with what happened today.

Me neither.

She planned all along to

involve us in this.

She fooled us all into coming over.

I hope you all are ready.

Our fingerprints are all over

the table upstairs.

Our fingerprints?

I'll wipe it down.

Then you won't involve us in this?

No, I won't.

- I'm sorry.

We've nothing to apologize for.

This was between her and Kaze.

What are you doing all standing around?

Let's go home and cook up an alibi.

I'm going.

Wait... I don't ever

want to see you again.

I know, I won't talk to you or the

rest of the women ever again.

I don't hate you.

Kaze wouldn't be dead if

he had listened to me.

You wouldn't be a murderess.

I won't ever say...

anything that could...

get you into any trouble.

That's the only thing that

I can do for him now.

I'd be happy to turn myself in

for the crime...

but I couldn't do that to my son.

I'd do anything while there's still time.

I'll be your friend and

walk you to the police station.

I'm overwhelmed by your generosity.

I'll think about it

and surrender myself in my time.

You fool, why did you kill him?

It was only fun when

we talked about it.

Murder will only bring you misery.

You became a criminal for him?

You had nothing to gain.

Futaba, please let me see

his face one last time.

Life truly is fleeting.

He died so easily.

Give it up.

She's a stranger now.

The polite thing is to leave her alone.

Goodbye. Stay strong.

It's enough already... get up.

I knew they were blanks.

I didn't get a chance to say.

You thought the bullets were real.

I was afraid that you really

wanted to kill me.

I wish you'd used real bullets.

Don't hate me so much.

I saw you open the cylinder

and change the bullets.

You were thinking of me.

When I thought of how much

I still loved you.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.

None of them said a word,

and nothing went as planned.

I didn't know what to expect.

I'm ashamed.

- Why?

For both you and me.

I thought it went well.

Everyone fled thinking I had died.

I'm lucky. Don't cry.

You're back.

- Hello.

At that moment, I didn't believe for

a second that Kaze wanted to live.

"Female CEO mysteriously commits

suicide at 9:
50 on the 16th.

"In Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, 38-year-old

design printers president Miwako Migishi...

"overdosed on sleeping pills. She was

discovered dead by her employees.

"The police investigation failed to find a note

and her family could not account for it.

"Police ruled it suicide due to her

wearing a white funeral robe."

I've read it over a dozen times and

I still can't believe there wasn't a note.

If there was a note,

it'd have said in the article.

Maybe they announced the suicide

so they could secretly investigate us.

That's why there's nothing

about it in the paper.

Hey, you look good as a cop!

I usually do The Weekly Gang,

so I feel funny in this getup.

Hello, Katyusha Restaurant.

Hello?

Is this Futaba?

Are you alone?

Are the police watching you?

Who are you?

I was one of the women

involved in the incident.

Don't call here,

I've taken care of everything.

What are the police up to?

Have you been arrested?

Yes, I'm very busy and haven't had

any time to leave the restaurant.

Um... what did you do with the body?

It's in the closet.

The closet?!

It's been two weeks!

In the closet?!

Don't worry; I've taken measures

to make sure it won't go bad.

Let everything play out

as we agreed.

Goodbye.

So, he's still alive?

Why did you trick us?

Why didn't you say anything?

Why didn't you tell us

he was still alive?

I was so frightened,

I thought I was losing my mind.

Don't you feel bad...

that you did this to us?

It's strange:

you were angry when I killed him.

Now you blame me for letting him live.

You can have him.

Who wants him?

I understand better than anyone

that he can't be trusted.

But I've also come to understand

something else...

That man is sick in the head now.

Not one of you

has given a moment's thought...

to how hard it's been for me

to hide him since that day.

All he does is gobble down

the food I bring him and sleep.

I'll show you where he's hiding.

He just sleeps all day

in that filthy room.

He worked awfully hard.

Then when he's better,

he'll report back to work?

That won't do;

it will be just like before.

Can't we do something to

keep him at home?

That's Futaba's responsibility.

Look at what's become of me:

I'm as thin as a rail.

We've all lost weight.

If you want to lock him up,

do it yourselves.

You got some nerve, lady.

You take him.

- You must be joking.

In any event,

I'm getting a divorce,

so I'm not getting involved.

You're running away?!

Dry your hair; you'll catch cold.

If this was all for spectacle,

you should have let me do it.

I'd enjoy playing the killer

in an absurd comedy.

I'd have done it much better.

It's frustrating that I was stuck

playing one of the dupes.

I'm his wife.

It was only natural I do it.

Granted, I wasn't very good at it.

- Now it's my turn.

I'll take him off your hands.

Ehh... Kaze?

In return, let me do with him

whatver I please.

You're a freak.

Yeah, maybe so.

Are you really going to divorce him?

- I'll do it tomorrow.

Then it's settled.

I'm going to be responsible

for keeping him out of sight.

Any complaints?

I think that you're forgetting that I really

believed that Kaze was dead...

and committed suicide over it.

"Does anyone have any complaints?"

she says! I can't speak anymore.

You can't hear me!

Heartless b*tch!

I almost never go to sneak previews.

I ran into Kaze at the theater.

He was surprised and slinked off.

He was with Ichiko Ishinoshita.

Waka said he saw him when

he was on location in Hayama.

He also said that he was with Ichiko.

I heard.

He's like the Loch Ness Monster.

Isn't Ichiko planning to quit?

I didn't realize they were so close.

Kaze wants to quit too.

Seriously? - He's on sick leave

and is swinging around town.

What else am I to believe?

Please circulate a memo that he's

leaving the company. - This is bad.

Mafune and Mizowake both

have heart conditions,

and Shirai has some kind

of nervous disorder.

Hello!

- Fancy meeting you here!

I hear everythings coming up
