but when I realized it
his heart had stopped beating
and he didn't breathe either
He was already dead
Really dead?
Why didn't you call an ambulance?
Didn't you see him?
He is Douhara of the Oriental company
When I was your age he supported
my shows
After that
He was also the first one to bring me
to Broadway
When I got the award as a rising star
he bought me an MG
which made me hurry to get
a driver's license
My first abortion was because of him
I cried and said I wanted it
He said go ahead if
I didn't want to be a star
He introduced to me
French escargots and liver pate
but I didn't enjoy all that then
Instead, I only yearned for
a silk sleeping gown
That's also my dream
He bought me three
on my 22nd birthday
Help me
Help me, will you?
Help him into his clothes
What happened next?
That's why, whether it's me or him
it's a pool of scandals
I needed to get him away from this room
How could it be like this?
Miss Hatori loves him a lot, correct?
In that case why be afraid of
causing a scandal?
You two are in love
He is a married man
How could this be?
he should get a divorce and be with you
That's right, he proposed to me
when he was 30
but I turned him down
Why?
I was passionate about acting
I love this job
I could be a loving or
a cruel wife on stage
the Tezukayama Hotel
I won't tell anyone
Shizuka, wait
I beg you
Please help me
I beg you
I can't help you in any way
I can't transport him to the hotel
Shizuka, come here for a moment
let's talk, okay?
Let's talk it over
Come and sit down
Sit here
Come
You do drink, don't you?
Here
This would cause a scandal
If I were an apprentice
or a new comer it'd be okay
because the media would sympathize
with me
Life as an apprentice isn't easy
Even if one has talent
one needs the director's appreciation
to have the opportunity to act
and one needs many people to
buy the tickets
otherwise how could there be
a chance to act, right?
I could say it was Douhara
who accosted me
that he wanted to support my show
then everyone will point at him
If I were you
I could do that
but I can't because I am famous
I am a star
Everyone has been trying to destroy me
I can't do it
I can't do it
I am finished
I would become an ordinary woman
I don't know what to do
I beg you
could you pretend he died in your room?
My room?
Yes, you want to be Mako?
I'll let you have the role, alright?
I promise you, believe me
Right, we could use this scandal
I'll be forever grateful
Can't you see yet?
Why didn't you pass the audition?
You like the role of the maid?
This is your chance
Move him to your room
Then call the concierge
and put on a show
Can I do it?
Of course
You're an actor, right?
Aren't you?
Actor?
Once
Twice
The music begins
The bell stops
The curtain rises
Right
Hey
My guest suddenly felt ill
and passed out
please call an ambulance quickly
Hurry
Well, what do you think?
We arrive at the consensus that
Shizuka should bow out
to be replaced by Akiko
We are not a TV station
I don't think we should replace actors
because of a scandal
But she has been summoned to the
police station for investigation
No, not investigation
Only to recapitulate what happened
Since it's been determined that
the victim died of a natural cause
she has no legal responsibility
Sorry
Go ahead
There's no need for discussion
let's put it to a vote
By the way
she suffered a miscarriage during
the audition last time
girls are promiscuous these days
They are too focused on
love relationships
Just fire her
I object
We are not moralists
what has one's private life
to do with acting?
If one is not discreet she has no right
to be on stage
Then I want to ask you all
who has the right to be on stage?
I guess none of you
For the subsistence of the troupe,
Miss Chieko
acted her favourite plays
but she wasn't paid;
However she couldn't get a job
which would stop her from acting
Under such circumstances
wouldn't you pander yourself
to make a living?
That's what I did
The fact that I could be on stage today
and receive lots of bouquets
might really be attributed to those men
to support me
There are also those who have
bought me clothes
wined and dined me
paid for my rent
It's just that...
it's just that up to now
no one has died because of me
This kid is like me
she's me 22 years ago
We are all the same
going our ways to enable ourselves
to continue acting till this day
Miss Chieko
didn't you do this sort of thing
to be able to stay in acting?
Deep in the corner of our hearts...
no, I should say in our heart of hearts
we tell ourselves we did all this
to be able to act
I...
If you want to replace her
then replace me too
Sorry for the trouble
What happened?
Hey, Anbe
what happened to you?
Let me go
Where do you want to go?
Turn myself in
Turn yourself in?
Why are saying this all of a sudden?
The one who killed grandpa
is me
Mako, she...
took the blame for me
Her fragile soul
suffered much for that
The murderer is...
the murderer is me
I am the murderer
I want to turn myself in
at the police station
Keep calm
Stay cool
Unfortunately this is the only way
to save Mako
Please let me go
I beg you
What's the good
of turning yourself in now?
Poor Mako
Don't worry
She is innocent
Really?
Just think
she is an innocent victim
The court and the media
will sympathize with her
What an effort!
Please, I can stand it no longer
just replace the girl
Look at the marks on my fingers
When she cries 'mother'
and tugs at me
my hands are very painful
Sorry, I'll be more careful from
tomorrow
She said she'll improve tomorrow
Don't be angry
I didn't mean that
The problem is with acting skills
She doesn't know what's real
and what is not
It's good to become the part one plays
but if she continues like this
I'll go nuts
- Kikuchi
- Yes
How could you actually cry each day?
Just think that the dog I love most
is dead
and tears would fall
It has nothing to do with Tragedy of W
Alright, no need to say that;
besides, it doesn't matter how much
you cry
no one would see except those
in the first row
Did you know the audience at the back
can't see?
Sorry
As long as the role of Mako
is not replaced
I'll bow out of Tokyo's performance
I can't go on
Did you hear that?
I am truly sorry
You'll surely be asked a lot about
Mr. Douhara
at the press conference
You could only tell the truth
Yes
Here they are
This way... look at the camera please
Sorry to have kept you waiting
Please lift your head
I must clarify the issue of replacing
one role for the Tragedy of W
Due to illness
Kikuchi who plays Mako
will be replaced by Shizuka
in the Tokyo show
I hope you'll give your support
I guess you want to gain publicity
for this play by using the scandal
What scandal?
