Antonio.
Shylock.
Both of you, step forward.
Is your name really Shylock?
Sherlock is my name.
This lawsuit has been rather peculiar,
but the accusation holds.
So, Antonio,
your life and death are now in his hands, correct?
Yes.
Do you admit to this promissory note?
I admit.
Well then, let the court proceed with the judgment!
Let me see that promissory note, please.
Respected doctor, take a look!
Indeed, it has exceeded the repayment deadline.
Your request is reasonable.
Thus, you have the right to take a pound of flesh from this merchant's chest.
Please render the judgment immediately!
According to the terms of the IOU!
I sincerely urge the court to expedite the ruling.
Stop wasting time!
I implore the court, pronounce the judgment quickly!
hereby pronounce that a pound of flesh
belongs to you from the merchant!
Antonio, bare your chest!
The verdict has been decided!
Come forth.
Prepare yourself!
Hold on!
The promissory note doesn't entitle you to shed a drop of his blood.
If a drop of blood is shed, your assets and land
will be confiscated according to the laws of Venice!
Is that what the law says?
Do you find it amusing?
Well...
It just feels odd to me.
Odd??
Though it seems like Shylock, the creditor, is the villain,
isn't it the debtor who's at fault for not repaying?
True, when you put it that way.
Exactly.
Are you hungry? Shall we grab something before heading back?
Sure.
(Not repaying is indeed a fault.)
(But even if you repay, it's not all resolved.)
(I understand this better than anyone.)
Charge! Charge!
Long time no see.
I'll conduct the inspection.
What are you doing?
I'm checking if the ATM is functioning properly.
Remember to pick up the trash.
(Back then,
I did my best to survive.)
Ah, look, how about that shop?
Looks good.
I'll go inquire.
(Just repaying money doesn't solve everything.)
(That's right.)
(At that time, I had already sold my soul to the devil.)
(From an ordinary bank clerk)
(into the detested loan shark.)

- Morning - Good morning.
Good morning.
Thank you.
(Todo)
(Business Department, Consultation Group)
(Customer Service Section 2) Could you handle this?
Excuse me
May I ask where you want to deposit the incomplete data?
Savings account.
Ms. Handa,
please complete it.
Return it to me.
Sure, thank you.
(Sogu Business Department)
It's really annoying, Senpai.
Alright! Let's change our mood and focus on work.
Exactly! Let's do our best today too!
Welcome.
Thank you for calling.
This is Tokyo First Bank, Nagahara Branch.
(I'm Ejima From Ejima Estate.)
(Can I speak to Mr. Takino, please?)
Mr. Takino? Please wait.
(Customer Service Section 2) Hello, I'm Tabata, who happened to be at Takino's desk.
ah? Tabata? Where is Mr. Takino?
Vice Chief Takino is currently in a department meeting.
I see.
Then, can you leave a note for me?
Say that Mr. Ejima from Ejima Estate called, thank you.
I'm sorry, Takinois in a meeting now, after it ends...
(Uh-huh, okay.)
Wow, they hung up on me.
Welcome.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
(Sasaki Hajime)
Hey, Nishiki!
Wow, you really came, Abe.
This is my drinking buddy, Mr. Sasaki.
Met him at the izakaya in Jiyugaoka that I often go to recently.
- Izakaya? - Yes.
Uncle, don't stand there, sit here, come on.
This uncle wants to consult me about inheritance issues.
- I'll go back to my seat first. - Sure.
Oh, by the way, fill out this form first.
- Here, thank you. - What's this for?
It's an application for a savings account.
If you want advice, you have to become our customer first.
No wonder they told me to bring my seal and driver's license. It's reliable.
Remember to deposit some money, ten thousand will do.
Thank you.
Alright? Then I'll take the money out, here!
Stingy.
(Branch Manager's Office)
The current performance is far from the target.
The number of new financing clients is too low.
What do you think, Chief Matsunaga?
(Branch Deputy Manager) We are also inquiring with clients.
But the economy is really bad right now.
(Customer Service Section 2, Chief) Most of our clients are facing financial deficits.
There are some minor cases...
If that's the case, aren't other branches in the same situation?
Sorry.
How's the development of new clients, Endo?
Yes.
(Customer Service Section 1, Deputy Chief) Well then, let me report on the progress.
Firstly, a few days ago, we proposed
to provide a fund for the "Washoku Basin Board."
But because their president is quite defensive...
(Mr. Hirokazu Ishimoto) Listen, Endo.
Being defensive isn't a valid reason.
Where exactly is the problem? Analyze it thoroughly.
I'm really sorry.
What are you apologizing for? Aren't you in charge of developing new clients?
You're from the Left and Right branches! Use your brains a bit more!
This report is well analyzed.
Is it all Takino's Work?
You've only been with the company for less than a month,
and you've already visited so many companies?
Yes.
(Takino Makoto, Deputy Chief, Customer Service Section 1) "Yukinotani Industry" and "Kyuhara Industry"
both need a loan of 100 million yen for working capital next month.
We are currently negotiating the terms.
Manager, what do you think?
Takino, well done.
(Kujo Shizuka, Branch Manager) If there are good companies you've visited, just tell me.
Okay.
Endo, as the Deputy Manager said, you need to be more diligent.
- Kashima, Chief - Yes!
(Customer Service Section 1, Chief) You, help guide them carefully.
If this continues, the performance assessment for this quarter will be miserable.
We must not let that happen.
It's up to you.
Endo, come here.
Not to criticize you, but I told you that kind of report won't do, right?
Why hasn't it been revised?
Didn't you stay here the day before yesterday to work on it?
I told you it's not acceptable at that time, didn't I?
You said you understood, but apparently, you didn't.
(You have a voicemail, Mr. Koichi Ishimoto)
(Voicemail)
(deleted)
(Ejima Estate, Mr. Eshima's call)
Tabatai, who is this Ejima Estate?
He called during the meeting just now, saying he wanted to talk to you.
- To talk to me? - Yes.
I didn't expect my wife to be so terrifying.
She asked me to write my own will.
Writing wills is quite common nowadays.
It's too rude. In the end, the bank taught her a bad idea.
Hey, Kitagawa.
(Business Department Section Chief) Who is that guy?
I heard he's a drinking buddy of Nishiki's Chief.
He came to consult about inheritance issues.
Inheritance?
Looking for Mr. Takino? Please wait.
Deputy Section Chief Takino.
Ejima Estate's Mr. Ejima is on the line, it's urgent.
Hello, I'm Takino.
Mr. Takino, it's me.
Do you know who I am?
Hello, long time no see.
But you just said you're from "Ejima Estate"?
No, it doesn't matter, it's all the same. I'll explain it more carefully next time.
(I want to discuss something with you)
I'm no longer at the Akasaka branch.
You should contact the person taking over my job.
That person doesn't understand the situation; it has to be you.
Mr. Ishimoto, please show some respect.
I'm no longer responsible for your company's business.
You are too indifferent, right?
You've been quite considerate along the way.
I understand. When would be convenient for you?
(Um... Tomorrow afternoon...)
Can you come to the address I mentioned?
(But remember, come alone, please.)
(Real Estate Agency, Property Management, Ejima Estate)
(4th Floor: Ejima Estate)
- Long time no see. - I'm here.
What exactly is "Ejima Estate"?
collaborated with this company, but midway, the money ran out.
It's what they call going bankrupt despite being in the black.
It's quite common in the real estate industry.
So, this company has...?
Yes, but it still appears to be in business on the surface.
The owner named Ejima sold everything that could be sold.
The money from the sales was surprisingly paid back to the bank.
Thanks to him, the only thing left is the mortgage on this place.
So, he transferred the business rights to you?
Yes, originally, I was going to develop residential land,
and Ejima Estate would build houses there to sell.
A combined project worth 2 billion yen for both companies.
But that scoundrel Ejima ran away just before construction started.
So, it's like this now.
I've already invested 1 billion yen for this project.
If I can't recover it, I'll go under.
The books look fine, don't they?
Could it be...
Fake accounts?
Not all of it is fake; some of it is genuine.
Look at this.
Company seal. With this, you can do many things.
So, where is Mr. Ejima now?
Can't reach him.
I guess he's probably dead.
Let’s get to the point.
I hope you can help finance 1 billion for Ejima Estate.
I'll use that money to complete the project and sell all the houses.
Once they're sold, I can repay the 1 billion and close the deal.
All the data the bank needs is in here.
With this comprehensive content, you should be able to secure financing easily anywhere.
How is that possible!
One billion is not a small amount, it's not that simple.
Most importantly, Mr. Ejima is no longer here.
So, I became Ejima.
What?
(Company Representative, Munehiro Ejima)
For you, it's not a bad deal, right?
You'll have a performance of 1 billion.
Besides, you'll be able to fully recover it by next year.
But if we don't have this money, it's a big problem.
For you and for me, it will be a problem.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Busy today?
Yes.
Dad's back.
Welcome back.
Guess what happened at school today?
What happened?
I got selected as the anchor runner for the relay team.
Wow! That's impressive. I need to cheer you on.
Isn't it amazing?
Shuo, didn't I tell you not to run around the house? - I don't want to.
Be careful not to slip.
- Hurry up and do your homework. - No.
Want to eat, or take a bath first?
I'll take a bath later.
- Want a beer? - Sure.
Please.
Thank you.
Here.
What should we do about the performance?
Tabata, you're in charge of the investment trust.
What's going on with this performance?
I'm sorry, but...
But what?
Based on the current market prices, it's not easy to sell.
The buyers would also incur significant losses.
Don’t blame the market price
Whose fault is it then?
The loan balance isn't increasing, and we can't find new clients.
The investment trusts aren't selling.
With no way out, Endo, what is this?
Mr. Endo, Mr. Endo.
Are you okay?
I'm truly sorry.
I don't want apologies; I want performance!
How is the situation with "Sokuso Pool Board Gold"?
When will there be results?
Today? Tomorrow? Or do we have to wait until next year, ten years later?
We should be able to finalize the financing before we die, right?
- I won't die until it's finalized. - That's not the point.
Please, I'm begging you!
Manager, what do you think?
I believe everyone probably has a lot to say.
While it's true that there's no business that can be easily closed
I hope we can all improve our performance and receive commendations.
The current target amount we're aiming for is 1 billion.
Even if it's a small amount of financing slowly accumulated, that's fine.
How about it, Tanino? Aren't you helping to find cases?
Are there any that can be financed early?
I have one over here.
Really? Which one?
Please look at the second one from the bottom in the table.
Ejima Estate hopes to borrow 1 billion from us.
That's great, manager.
Okay, immediately include it in the urgent assessment.
I'll go visit them.
Right this way.
(Who is it?)
I am Takino from "Tokyo Daiichi Bank".
I have an appointment with President Ejima.
We've been waiting for you. Please come in.
Welcome.
This way, please.
Excuse me.
Please.
What is this...?
They are all part-time workers.
I'm the branch manager, Kujo.
I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule. I'm sorry for the trouble
No problem.
- I'm Ejima. - Thank you.
Thank you for coming, especially, Branch Manager.
- Please, have a seat. - Excuse me.
Thank you.
What Mr. Takino mentioned is...
I'm currently working on a plan in Kisarazu City.
This is a summary of real estate development projects we've handled so far.
Impressive.
May I ask about the scale of this development?
It's a project worth about 2 billion in total.
I mentioned it to Mr. Takino last time.
We need assistance with approximately 1 billion.
- Can I take a look at that information? - Please.
Thank you.
Regarding the 1 billion working capital,
do you have any collateral to offer?
If you find it difficult, I can withdraw the request.
Other banks should be able to provide easily.
President, please wait, let us conduct an evaluation.
Please.
I actually don't like waiting.
If you're going to evaluate, please speed up the process.
I can't keep other banks waiting too long.
Fully understood.
I will personally lead and do my best to facilitate this.
By the way, Takino,
after you return, submit the project proposal for Ejima Estate immediately.
Got it.
(Loan Proposal Ejima Estate)
(I'm in charge of the window, Tanino.)
(I've seen the proposal.)
(Is it okay to lend 1 billion to a new customer at once?)
This is our priority case. I hope you can help more.
As I mentioned, if the rules are too rigid,
it's challenging to improve performance.
I'm going upstairs now. Please wait.
Okay.
Is this the decision? Understood.
Yes, I will handle it properly.
The resolution for Ejima Estate
is approved.
That's great.
- Manager, you've worked hard! - You too!
Fantastic.
Take it.
Let me confirm.
That is... forged.
That scoundrel, Ejima, never intended to give me the seal.
So, I forged it myself.
(Seal certification: Munehiro Eshima) Impressive, right?
Can you really clear the debt?
Don't worry, it will be repaid in full within the deadline.
Before that, you have to handle things well; it's over if you're exposed.
You and I,
survival is not easy for either of us.
Survival isn't easy, right, Nishiki?
I understand. What's next? Where's the next item?
That building.
How many years has it been?
About forty years.
It's like a natural monument.
Why can't it be sold?
What are you laughing at?
How should I put it? Occasionally, there's this...
What?
I said there's this thing that appears.
It's a haunted house.
Right when it was about to be sold, a store clerk hanged himself at the front door.
And it was in the morning, witnessed by passersby, causing a big commotion.
After that, every night, that thing appears,
especially dangerous after nine in the evening
Hey.
Hey Hey hey!
Uncle, why don't you have any normal houses?
Either they've been flooded, or they violate building codes.
And now there's even a haunted house. It's too much.
Where do you find so many problematic houses?
You must think I'm amazing too.
Don't be too proud! Come on, let's go, onto the next one.
Seriously? This building? That's impressive.
But, in fact, this one is the worst.
Could it also have that thing?
No, not here.
In fact, it would be better if there were
Actually, this building has a falsely reported seismic resistance coefficient.
At the time, the other party said they could lower the price, so I decided to take a chance.
I didn't expect they lied about the earthquake resistance.
How did you find out?
Don't judge by appearances. I have a Class A architect license.
When I looked at the floor plan, I thought the steel bars were too thin.
Then you should have raised the issue at that time.
Japan's building regulations are too many.
So, I thought it was because they were building to the minimum standards to make it cheap.
Only later did I realize it wouldn't work.
What's going on, Abe? Why are they all junk?
How much did you spend on this building?
- 2 billion. - What?
What's its current value?
Because of the false seismic resistance report,
it might only be less than 30%, or it's practically worthless.
You're telling me it's practically worthless? Hey!
How do you expect me to deal with this scrap?
I sought your advice because I didn't know.
If I had known, I wouldn't have consulted you.
I've retrieved the contract from Ejima Estate.
Thank you.
Thanks for your hard work
Good job on the Kojima Industries case, Mr. Takino.
Yes.
Chief, Samezu Industries is calling for you.
Transfer it to me.
Okay.
Yes, this is Kojima.
Thank you for your help.
Okay, I got it. Please run another errand for me.
Sure, thank you.
Handa.
Handle this as the most urgent matter.
Yes, understood.
The one above, do it quickly.
Then announce the highest honor award in three months.
It goes to the person with the highest individual performance.

Yes.

"The following content is the same as above."
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Hello?
There's a bit of a problem.
It seems I won't be able to pay the interest on my end.
Hello? What's going on?
There are a lot of issues with that development project, absolutely no progress.
(Financial circulation is a bit problematic.)
No, wait.
You've secured a billion in financing; there should be a way, right?
Once I pay what I owe, it seems we're close to hitting rock bottom.
Can you wait a bit for the interest this time?
It's only been three months since the financing; if the president does this, suspicions will arise.
My account still has some funds; I'll transfer them to cover what's lacking.
(Next month, I'll definitely pay.)
How much are we talking about?
If you have a million, it should be enough.
A million?
Just cover for me for now.
I really can't! It's already tough enough to repay the loan.
(I can't hold on much longer either.)
I'll figure something out before next month.
No, Mr. Ishimoto.
(I'm counting on you.)
Mr. Ishimoto?
(Eat well! - Isn't it bitter?)
Not at all.
We have something to tell you.
What's the matter?
Well, I'm going to be a big brother!
- You're pregnant? - Yes.
Oh...
This cake is for celebration.
- Here's nine million; thank you. - Okay, thanks.
Mr. Tabata, "Ota Market" is calling.
Alright, I'll take it.
(Ota Market, nine million yen)
VIP on the 22nd, please come to the counter.
Thank you for waiting.
Thank you.
The handling fee is 880 yen.
Please wait.

(Remittance form: Kojima Estate)
Sorry to bother you.
Hello.
- Are you Mr. Tadabata from "Tokyo First"? - Yes.
- I've brought cash. - Thank you for your assistance.
- Please confirm. - Alright.
- It seems the typhoon is changing direction. - Really?
Two, four, six, eight.
Huh?
- We were talking about nine million, right? - Yes.
But why is there only eight million?
Huh? Let me confirm.
What?
Okay, I got it.
Everyone, it seems there's a missing one million from Ota Market's cash.
It might have fallen somewhere; please help me look.
Also, check the withdrawal slips; is there an error?
Is it really missing one million? Did it fall somewhere?
Really! I'm absolutely sure.
Did it fall in the company car?
We've searched everywhere it could be.
Everyone, search again!
Hurry up! You idiots!
Yes.
Please search again.
Look more carefully.
I appreciate your help.
Now? It's already past the deadline.
I can't help it. Take this, it's what Takino brought. You take it.
Don't be outrageous! You could have returned it to Takino.
Manager Nishiki, please handle this. It belongs to Takino.
Hey, if it's not Takino's, you have to take all the orders! Hey!
He just turned and walked away.
I can't stand it.
- Nishiki. - Yes.
Go check the trash.
Are you talking about me?
Ah, garbage?
Hey, let’s go
Are you to about me?
Is there a problem with that? I want to go too, so let's all go.
Alright, I got it.
Hmm, today's... Ah, got it!
Should we open it?
- Okay, you take this bag. - Alright.
I really don't want to.
- But there's no choice. - Alright.
Ready.
Come on!
Who ate the pork liver?
So annoying.
I mean, how could someone lose a stack of ten thousand yen bills?
It's hard to say. When people get busy, it's like encountering turbulence,
and the whole person gets lost in a daze.
I once threw a hundred million yen worth of promissory notes into the trash.
Is that so?
Did you find anything?
Nothing at all.
I've finished searching here, and there's nothing.
Well, then, I'll go up first.
Hey, won't you help me a bit?
I'll go up first.
Kitagawa! Airi!
Airi!
(Remittance Form: Kojima Industries Co., Ltd.)
- We've checked everything. - Thank you.
Chief, just finished checking the ATM.
The balances are all correct.
Thank you.
I've also asked all customers who withdrew money today.
Not a single one received more than they should have.
But we have to choose to believe them.
After all, "cash must be confirmed on the spot."
But if it's not found after all this...
Then it's Tabata who lost it.
Sorry, now everyone, please confirm your seats and bags with each other.
Sure.
Sorry, let me check.
Senpai, did you see anything?
No, how could there be?
What about your side?
Nothing either.
Just to be sure, let's check the personal lockers too.
- Okay. - Sure.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Sorry.
Did you buy a new bag again?
Don't you think it's cute?
Senpai's locker is so clean.
The bag is also so plain.
I'm really sorry!
Do you usually not lock it?
Yeah, there's nothing worth stealing.
I see.
Senpai, look at this.
What is it?
Can you explain what's going on?
I have no idea.
Did the security seal jump into your bag by itself?
And it's today's date.
I really do not know.
Why would it appear in my bag?
Write down all your activities for today here.
The more detailed, the better.
Write down when you went where, which customer you received,
when you ate, went to the restroom—every detail.
Chief, won't this be too much?
Kitagawa says she doesn't know why.
Then why did something like this appear in Kitagawa's bag?
It's really strange.
Kitagawa, you don't seem to spend money lavishly.
Your salary is almost spent, and there's no savings.
Can you manage with just your monthly salary?
Actually, I have many places where I need to spend money.
Could it be that you're really short on money?
Assistant Manager, if I may.
Kitagawa's father passed away early.
She has to support the family and pay for her siblings' tuition on her own.
In my eyes, Kitagawa is the most reliable employee.
Kitagawa, I'll ask you only once. Did you do this?
If you did, explain it here.
Don't trouble everyone anymore. I won't allow this.
If you didn't, just say you didn't. How about it?
I didn't take it.
too quiet.
I…
I didn't take it!
Okay, stop crying.
Hold your head up.
Everyone heard it. It wasn't her who took it; it's a misunderstanding.
The seal is in her bag. How do we explain this?
- If that's the case, let's report it to the police. - What?
I'm saying reporting to the police is the best option.
Kitagawa, have you ever touched the seal?
No, I haven't touched it.
Assistant Manager, what do you think? Let's report it to the police.
Let them come here to check fingerprints;
Then, we'll know if she's the culprit.
You don't mind, do you, Kitagawa?
I don't mind.
What a joke! How could she do this?
If we don't do this, everyone will continue to suspect her.
- This won't solve anything. - Enough.
Nishiki is right.
manager…
Kitagawa, thank you for your hard work. You can leave now.
I need to discuss something with you all.
Mr. Nishiki.
Weren't we supposed to meet today?
Ah, I'm truly sorry. Something came up suddenly.
Are you kidding me?
We've been waiting for you.
Originally, I had plans to come, but I really couldn't get away.
If that's the case, can we contact you later?
Yeah, that's right.
Are you kidding us?
Come with me.
Wait...wait a moment.
Don't do this! I will definitely repay.
Please wait a moment, don't do this.
- No...please wait. - Mr. Nishiki
Police! Please help us call the police!
I've already called the police.
Mr. Nishiki
I will come again.
Let's go.
Sorry, Takino.
It's okay, are you okay?
Completely fine.
- Sorry to have kept you company. - No problem.
Have some food.
Really sorry,
but what exactly happened?
It's really hard to talk about.
My brother's company actually went bankrupt,
so he asked me to be the guarantor.
Why did you do that?
There's no other way. If I don't do it,
we'll lose the house I share with my parents and the factory.
Who were those people just now?
They're from an underground loan agency.
My brother borrowed money from them before the bankruptcy.
They came directly to my house, asking me to find a solution.
They completely disregard the law.
You're too kind, Mr. Nishiki.
How much did you guarantee in total?
Have some food first.
Mr. Nishiki!
Um…
Two hundred million…
Two hundred million!
What are you going to do with so much money?
I might declare bankruptcy or go into hiding.
There might be a solution with the bank,
but those people just now...
How much did you borrow from the underground loan agency?
Five hundred million?
No underground loan agency lends five hundred million; it was five million...
- Do you have money? - No.
I have no choice but to hand over my divorce papers to my wife...
Formally, we'll divorce first.
We're currently separated;
It's been two months.
Having family around was normal before.
Now, I deeply appreciate its value.
Sorry for sharing so much personal information.
It's okay.
Can you keep these matters confidential for me?
Can you?
Of course.
Have some food.
Good morning.
- Good morning - Good morning
Thanks for your hard work yesterday.
We managed to find the one million later.
After investigating, we found it in the ATM room.
We checked yesterday;
Did you really find it?
Could it be the culprit returning it?
That's scary.
It means this matter has come to an end.
Thanks, everyone.
Okay, let's disband. Get ready to open the doors, everyone, quickly.
Yes.
We have twenty minutes left. Thank you all.
Chief, what's going on?
Chief!
Yes, the money was suddenly found. Anyway, the money has been found.
What's the real situation?
Manager.
Everyone, contribute money.
What?
We all pitched in.
- We raised one million. - What does that mean?
Don't tell anyone.
This way, people will continue to suspect me.
That's right, sorry.
Don't apologize to me, Manager.
That's it
- That's how it is. - Sorry.
Take it.
Consider it my treat.
Was the money really found?
How is that possible!
It must be Kitagawa returning it, and the assistant manager pretended to find it.
I didn't take it.
Then who took it?
I don't know, but I'm sure it wasn't me.
Can you explain why the seal was found in your bag?
Are you implying someone else put it there?
By saying that, aren't you accusing a colleague of being a thief?
Can you prove it?
What do you mean?
Maki, you are really not cute.
If it's proven that someone else put it there,
won't it cause trouble for that person?
Stop talking nonsense over there.
In reality, the cash didn't actually appear.
We lied to make everyone feel at ease.
So, we decided to turn it into a criminal case.
Just by investigating the fingerprints on the seal, we can determine who touched it.
If unrelated fingerprints are found,
we'll have to bring that person in.
Explain why your fingerprints appeared.
Do we need to talk about it?
You don’t think I stole it, do you?
No, I don't think so.
But you're the one who put the seal in Kitagawa's bag, right?
Your expression says it all.
What do you think?
We'll find out once we check.
Her attitude always seems so arrogant.
It's indeed you.
So, where did you find the seal?
Was it in the hands of the cashier before?
No,
yesterday evening, I came to buy a drink.
I saw it on the ground and thought of playing a prank.
What time was that?
It was when everyone was looking for money,
so around five o'clock.
So, the culprit came here before that.
What did she say?
"Sorry, I was just playing a little joke."
that's it.
And then?
I forgave her; otherwise, she was planning to resign.
If Honda really resigns, it'll be tough for her.
Anyway, only we know, and it won't leak.
You're really kind, Kitagawa.
It's not about whether I'm kind or not.
If she apologizes, it takes courage.
This compromise seems the most practical.
Thank you.
- This is a returned item from the post office. - Okay.
For Mr. Takino from Ejima Estate?
Hey, wait! Hold on a second.
Where are you planning to take those gifts?
Actually,
The president of "Shizuike Banjin" agrees
to recommend their company employees to open an account with us.
Great, but you can't take so many at once,
Kajima. This won't do.
Sorry, Nishiki, but...
It involves whether Endo's efforts will bear fruit,
so I'll rely on you this time.
Go ahead! Endo, do your best.
Endo? Are you okay?
Is Mr. Endo okay?
Can't reach Mr. Takino by phone...
I'll deliver it for you.
I'm about to leave, so I can swing by.
Thank you.
Okay, I'm off.
Thank you.
Huh? Where is this?
301...…
This is for you. back to you
I find it strange;
there's no one here, and the official website says "Under Maintenance."
Mr. Takino
What's wrong?
I just sent data to Ejima Estate
and found nobody in the office.
I heard they are rebuilding a new office building.
The place you went to was a temporary rental.
It's okay; I'll go deliver it. Thank you.
- No, there's definitely a problem! - Please take care of this.
Ah, Mr. Takino.
What's wrong?
Kitagawa, let me see that invoice.
Transferring one million yen to Ejima Estate?
Look, right here. Don't you find it strange?
Although it's a temporary arrangement,
their annual turnover is in the tens of billions.
Is it possible for them to move to such an old apartment?
Indeed, this place is really old.
Ah, look.
Mr. Nishiki?
What are you doing here?
Wow! You startled me.
Nothing, I just find it strange.
What's going on? Are you two together?
Ah, yes.
Not at all.
- They're arguing. - I'm sorry.
Excuse me, is there a company called Ejima Products here?
That place has been empty for a long time.
Who are you?
I'm from the bank, can I ask...
Didn't expect you to be a bad guy too.
You'll get fired.
It's okay; I was actually thinking of resigning.
What happened?
I should be able to get a job offer from...
a foreign bank.
Staying in a place like this for a long time is painful.
Sorry for having you stay in "a place like this."
Ah, I didn't mean it that way.
Got it.
What's this?
Water bill.
Koichi Ishimoto?
Not Eijima Estate...
Take a photo, take a photo.
It's not the name of the president of Eijima.
Where did Eijima Estate go?
This is bad.
But we financed them with a billion yen,
and now the company has disappeared!
This is a disaster.
How did we not notice?
I'm really sorry.
After the funding, there was a period where I couldn't visit clients.
I apologize.
What's the result?
I couldn't find it, so I asked the apartment management company.
Eijima Estate, the company, has been missing from the start.
President Eijima can't find anyone either.
The entire company has disappeared.
How much money is left in their account?
Yes.
Approximately around three hundred thousand.
Three hundred thousand? This is ridiculous.
We provided them with a billion in financing.
Takino, what's going on?
It should have been paid to the construction company.
Which construction company? Is there anything suspicious?
I'm really sorry.
How did you manage this?
How do I report this to headquarters? This is a big problem now.
I'm really sorry.
I'm sincerely sorry.
Really, look what you've done, Takino.
- Really... - Manager, Manager!
Endo, something big just happened.
I have something big here too, "Washizu Pool Bankin."
They've decided to finance 5 billion yen.
What?
Five billion?
Is there a mistake?
Please go and meet with President Jiangdao as soon as possible. I'm counting on you.
Alright, I understand.
Five billion? How is this possible at this time?
Manager,
Let's head from here.
Hey, why go there?
Manager , please do it quickly. Ah, okay.
Endo, do you have a handkerchief?
I don't have one with me.
Honestly, is it here?
President!
President, I brought our Manager to see you.
Thank you for making time to see us today. We really appreciate it.
Sorry to disturb you.
Manager,
This is the president of "Washizu Pool Bankin," say hello.
Sorry about that.
I'm the Manager, my last name is Kashima.
I'm Kuroda from the Investigation Department, here for an inquiry today.
Good morning.
- Bring out those documents. - Yes.
Sorry for causing you trouble.
Thank you.
(Headquarters, Investigation Department, Deputy Chief) Financing client disappears.
Nearly a billion financing turns into almost bad debt.
This can be considered an exceptional case.
Manager, you should understand this, right?
As you said, I really feel sorry.
By the way, Deputy Chief Kuroda, have we met somewhere before?
No, please call the person in charge of Ejima property.
Takino?
Excuse me.
This is Takino, in charge of this case.
Did you notice any abnormalities with Eijima Estate?
I'm truly sorry.
When was the last time you visited them?
Had they moved by then?
The last time I saw the president was about a week after the financing.
I went to deliver documents.
Was there anything unusual at that time?
- No. - What about afterward?
You didn't visit them for a whole three months?
What about when they changed addresses?
I intended to visit,
but they said they were busy and declined.
They mentioned moving to a new office and changing the address temporarily.
I will change my address only when I find a place for the time being.
Yes, so the data was sent by mail afterward.
Regardless of how busy they were, they had financed a billion yen.
How could anyone not go and take a look at the situation!
We approved this financing because
of our trust in you, right, branch manager?
I don't want to say this,
but you really aren't qualified to be a bank employee, Takino.
I'm really sorry.
Other than "sorry," do you have anything else to say?
A billion! You're the reason we lost a billion yen.
Do you have a plan to recover it?
We still can't reach the president.
I went to his house, but he had already moved.
You're really careless, Deputy manager Tonoya.
This branch doesn't have a place for you anymore.
Honestly, what are you doing?
Your tone suggests it's all Takino's fault,
but you all stamped your approval on the documents.
That means everyone shares the blame for the crimes committed.
Throughout today,
Manager Kujo, Assistant Manager Furukawa
we will investigate both of you regarding the credit check.
Sorry to bother you.
Thank you.
Idiot, did you say everything?
What should we do? This is a big problem now.
Those people keep asking questions, it's really annoying.
Including "When did you notice?"
"Has anything unusual happened at the branch recently?"
"What do you think about Endo being hospitalized?"
Even if you ask about "usual dissatisfaction with your boss"
Relentless questioning.
I almost confessed to everything,
but I didn't say the million was from you.
I just mentioned it suddenly appeared.
Isn't that the same? That's what they want to hear.
Thanks to you, I got dragged into this mess too.
Will it be discovered?
Of course, those people specialize in finding faults with others.
This matter might have astonishing developments,
but I really want to take this opportunity to explain everything.
Treating Endo's situation as if it never happened is infuriating.
Everyone works tirelessly every day.
I completely understand your feelings.
Deputy manager Kuroda,
The interviews with the employees are done, but I have a doubt.
I heard three days ago, a million in cash went missing.
Cash?
If it's true, it's a serious lapse.
Have you received a report?
None, but they say the money was later found.
Found?
Please look at this.
Account details of the managers.
The day after, Manager Kujo's account was down by 300,000.
Deputy Manager Furukawa also lost 300,000.
Chief Takashima and Vice Chief Nishiki each lost 200,000.
A total of exactly 1 million in cash was withdrawn, a perfect match.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
It doesn't mean that everything will be fine if you just pay the money back.
Come in.
They're here.
You've all worked hard today.
We've double-checked everything.
Before discussing this bad debt,
I found a significant issue
that I want to address.
No, there couldn't be any major problem.
What's this?
You lost a million in cash,
and the next day it was found. Is that correct?
But in reality, it's not like that.
You all chipped in to cover the shortfall, right?
Deputy Manager Furukawa, do you have anything to say in your defense?
How about I talk to Deputy Chief Kuroda alone?
Crying and begging won't help.
Of course, please go ahead.
This can't be happening.
What exactly are you up to, Mr. Kujo?
Mr. Kuroda, have you really forgotten me?
I also worked in the Investigation Department when I was young
and investigated the Kamata branch.
On June 2nd, eight years ago.
Eight years ago in June?
You don't remember?
In the room behind the ATM.
When I entered, you were startled.
It's purely my speculation.
On a Friday night, you withdrew cash from the ATM.
On Monday, you put the money back. Am I wrong?
What are you talking about?
At that time, a seal fell to the ground.
From a certain racetrack.
(I immediately made the connection.)
You used stolen money to bet on horses
and then won.
Nonsense! Do you have any evidence?
You should remember picking up the trash.
There was a large-scale horse race that weekend.
Did the seal from that racetrack accidentally fall there?
Then, your account had an extra 10 million yen two weeks later.
You explained to the branch at the time that it was a gift from your parents.
When I heard you were coming today, I brought it with me.
The seal on the floor still has the date on it.
Once it's examined, it should have your fingerprints.
Bank crimes have no statute of limitations.
Of course, telling you this might be unnecessary.
I got it right, didn't I?
Are you planning to report me?
Of course not. It won't change anything.
and
you were moved from a prestigious bank position to the Investigation Department.
This isn't a threat.
If anything,
It should be considered a trade.
No specific responsibility, huh?
The review also feels hastily concluded,
but something feels odd.
How did the manager manage this?
What's going on?
I knew it.
I knew it
What's wrong?
- You're not qualified to be a bank employee. - What?
The imprint certificate is meant to prevent forgery.
Once copied, it should show marks indicating it's a copy.
But look at this.
There's nothing.
So this seal proves
is fake.
Ah, you're here.
Come, sit here.
Takino, do you drink whiskey with soda?
No, thanks...
In the current situation, is it suitable to leisurely drink?
You're right.
But, we didn't invite you out for a drink.
Please have a seat first.
There's something I want to ask you.
- Could you... - Sure.
Do you know this is forged?
I have no idea.
No, what are you trying to say?
It's just a pure speculation.
Did Eijima Estate really escape due to declining performance?
Is it possible that it was planned from the beginning?
Mr. Takino, please tell the truth.
If this is a planned crime, you're just caught up in it.
You can say that.
How is that possible?
Really? So you think it's your own misjudgment
that caused a billion yen loss? Do you admit this?
I genuinely feel sorry.
Sorry, are you done with your questions?
Mr. Takino.
What's your take, Director?
Takino is definitely hiding something.
(Transfer Receipt: (Stock) Eijima Estate)
Ah, this is Mr. Takino's handwriting, right?
And it's dated the day when one million yen went missing.
That day, Takino should be the one who took it.
Wait, what's going on?
I guess he wanted to use that money to cover Eijima Estate's repayment.
Why would he do that?
Probably to prevent Ejima Estate from getting caught.
Then he got betrayed by them.
By the way, Tabata,
Show me the photos you took in the apartment earlier.
photo…
This one.
(Received from Mr. Koichi Ishimoto)
Found this invoice in Eijima Estate's mailbox.
The recipient listed here
also had transactions at the Akasaka branch.
Ryuta Akasaka?
Koichi Ishimoto is the president of Akasaka Real Estate.
Take a look at this.
In Tono's file, it mentions that Eijima Property 's residential development
is planned on land developed by Akasaka Real Estate.
Wait, speaking of the Akasaka branch, Takino used to work there.
I have something to ask you
Sure.
(Akasaka Branch) Sorry to trouble you.
Thank you for your help.
Mr. Nishiki,
Everything went smoothly?
I mentioned I was here for the non-performing bond incident...
I have to write a report.
They felt sorry for me, so they were helpful.
- Is everything here? - Yes.
But I was indeed asked to write a report.
Oh, and also...
Take a look at this.
Two years ago, the approval document from Akasaka Real Estate, also written by Takino.
Takino was the financing contact at Akasaka Real Estate back then.
So, he already knew President Koichi Ishimoto.
I see.
Good job, Tabata, Let me borrow this for now.
Show everything.
Director, what's the situation?
Akasaka Real Estate and Takino have been in contact for about three years.
Initially, their performance was good, but later it worsened.
What about Eijima Estate?
It's a client of Akasaka Real Estate.
The company name appears in the financial statement details.
But what if this company is just a shell company?
Koichi Ishimoto plans to apply for financing in the name of Eijima Property,
utilizing the connection with Takino who had dealt with them before.
Why didn't Takino just refuse?
If that were the case, it would be a crime.
Like a short-selling scam.
You're right.
But why didn't Takino refuse?
why?
Maybe someone has leverage over him.
Or should I ask Takino?
No, don't ask, he won't tell.
Wait.
But I really can't swallow this.
Which part?
The plan is too meticulous.
Blaming it all on Takino.
But that company is so suspicious. Why didn't anyone notice?
What's going on?
This details the process of Akasaka Real Estate becoming our client.
It seems Ishimoto came through someone's introduction.
It seems that Takino is not the only one involved in the case
there's another accomplice at Nagahara Branch connected to Akasaka Real Estate.
Someone related to Akasaka Real Estate is Ninejo.
Look.
If this is a short-selling scam
and it's related to Manager Kujo?
This is Kujo's account details.
He spends quite lavishly.
And what's this?
A monthly transfer of 200,000 yen.
Who is it sent to?
This detail looks devoid of daily life.
If credit card bills get too high,
he seems to transfer money from another bank to pay.
look
So, he likely has many other deposits.
But don't you find it strange?
If the billion yen loan turns into bad debt,
won't the manager be reprimanded?
Shouldn't he take responsibility for this incident?
After being a manager here, he was probably transferred to another bank.
Even if he receives a severe reprimand, if he gets a huge kickback,
he might consider accepting it.
Going to "Sirius" today? I'll drop by later.
Is 8 PM okay?
Seems like there's a new hostess.
Hello.
How have you been?
Nishiki, what's going on?
Hey, what's with your enthusiasm?
I wanted to ask you something.
Manager Kujo often goes to a hotel in Ginza.
What's its name?
Why do you ask?
Just curious.
- I know. - Which one is it?
(It's called "Sirius.")
Ah, there he is.
Goodbye.
Thank you for coming.
Hey, miss, was that Kujo just now?
Oh, he left. I wanted to say hi.
By the way, what's the name of the other guy?
I can't remember at the moment.
- Mr. Ishimoto. - Right, Mr. Ishimoto.
Mr. Koichi Ishimoto, from Akasaka Real Estate, right?
- Should I call him? - Ah, no need, no need.
I know where they're heading next.
I'll go directly, thank you.
You guys go back to the shop.
- Be careful on the way. - Okay.
It's definitely him.
Takino, I was quite worried about you.
What did headquarters say?
They'll decide on personnel arrangements before any punishment.
What's going on? It's Saturday today.
Anyway, we're almost there.
Can you tell me what's happening?
(All places, Akasaka Real Estate Co., Ltd.)
Look at this.
Eijima Property said they want to build residences here,
but the land hasn't even been cleared yet.
Do you know what I'm trying to say?
You've been completely deceived.
How did he explain it to you?
Selling the houses would repay the money?
You believed it, even stole from the branch to pay interest.
But...
In fact, they had no intention of paying back the money from the beginning.
Koichi Ishimoto
Why?
What follows is all my speculation.
Ishimoto, facing a financial shortage, schemed to deceive the bank
under the guise of Ejima Estate.
Because he had leverage over you, he chose to threaten you
into helping secure a billion yen in financing.
He then tasked you with handling Eijima Estate' non-performing debts.
However, it's incredible that this hasn't been exposed.
After all, it's financing for a non-existent company.
No matter how hard you try,
If I were the branch manager, I would still be suspicious.
and inclined to give up.
But things didn't unfold that way.
So what happened?
I investigated. After Manager Kujo's divorce,
he continued to pay ¥200,000 in alimony each month.
The word from the chauffeur is that it's due to horse race gambling,
depleting all his assets, and his wife couldn't take it anymore.
Afterward, he came to the Nagahara branch
and might be transferred to a small company,
broke and without reputation.
Anyone would want to escape such a life, right?
That’s why he joined forces with Ishimoto.
Later, upon hearing about you from Ishimoto,
he pressured the HR department to transfer you to his side.
Then, setting a target, he made you feel the pressure,
and you were completely unaware.
To facilitate the ¥1 billion financing, a resolution was created.
Kujo appeared to be a victim, but he was the mastermind behind it.
So, when you were transferred to Nagahara branch,
your fate was already sealed.
What happened between you and Ishimoto?
Can you tell me?
Two years ago, I was the Salas representative at Akasaka Real Estate.
As a token of gratitude for helping with the financing,
I accepted the ¥10 million kickback he gave me.
It's not much, just a little gesture.
Take it.
I can't accept this money, President.
Don't be so stubborn; what you did deserves this token of appreciation.
(At that time, I happened to be preparing to buy a house.)
I thought if it was discovered, I could just return it later.
It was a naive thought.
I see…
Once you've accepted dirty money, it will always follow you.
Even if you return it, it's useless.
At that time, you were no longer an upright employee,
Mr. Nishiki.
What should I do?
That's something you have to decide for yourself.
Your life, your decision – that's the principle.
Bu, I will never forgive Ishimoto and Kujo.
Have you heard this saying?
"Human nature is inherently good, but if someone wrongs me, I'll repay them double."
That's my style.
Hey, sir, I found someone to buy your building.
Can we meet and discuss?
Sure,
Okay.
Manager, Nishiki submitted this case.
1.5 billion? Seems pretty good.
The owner manages real estate nearby
and wants to sell the company due to health issues.
Lowering the price to quickly get rid of it.
How does Nishiki know about this?
He's a regular client who often seeks advice.
I've met him; he's a good person.
A great opportunity to make up for last time.
If it's okay, I'll check with cooperating real estate for details.
In that case,
I have a suitable candidate in mind. Let me handle it.
Certainly.
Thanks for your hard work.
Hello.
Is it that building?
- This one? - Yes.
Wow, it's an impressive building.
Very impressive.
Let me show you around.
- OK. - this way please.
It's a 20-year-old building, six floors, fully leased at the moment.
There are people in every household.
It's close to the station, and there are restaurants nearby.
Convenient for employees to have lunch and drinks in the evening.
- The rent should be quite high. - Yes.
Not to exaggerate, but this is truly a rare property.
But why is it so cheap?
Don't tell others, I'm actually sick.
I look fine now, but I probably won't live much longer.
I might end up in the hospital anytime.
I thought I'd sell it while I still have some energy.
I appreciate your efforts.
Nishiki, this is really thanks to you.
Oh, no. Thank you.
Well then, if you're interested, please contact me again.
Others are also considering it, so first come, first served.
Please wait. Can you hold it for me for a while?
The funding is a bit of an issue.
Manager Kujo, what do you think?
We can secure a billion with this property as collateral, and then...
Um, about the money, you can discuss that later.
How many days will it take? Two days, three days?
A week would be best. I'll contact you once I have a conclusion during that time.
All right…
Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news.
Is that so?
I'll handle this.
This one, leave it to you.
It's really a great property.
I have 500 million on hand.
but for the rest, I'll need to borrow. The Akasaka branch isn't very cooperative.
Don't worry, I'll smooth things over
over and mention that it's an important case for the Nagahara branch's key client.
Please help us out.
It can be used for rental income and a quick turnover.
In my opinion, if we sell, we can easily make at least 2 billion.
I'll have to thank you properly again.
I'll close the door now.
I'm back. How did it go?
Today went relatively smoothly.
The real challenge is the next part.
I'm sure Ishimoto will take the bait,
but the signing and transfer of funds are the next two hurdles.
We won't know who wins until the final moment.
Any questions, sir?
During the signing, he'll need to see the floor plan.
If Ishimoto has sharp eyes and notices something in the floor plan...
It could be a problem. Also, the fund transfer during the transfer of ownership is uncertain.
I don’t know what will happen to this either.
If any document is missing,
everything could be overturned.
There's also one more thing.
That thing...
Which thing?
Yes, it's about the building designer. Recently, he's mentally unstable,
worried about falsely reporting seismic coefficients.
There's a chance he might confess to the police.
If the false reporting is exposed, the deal is off.
Ishimoto would never buy such a building.
But what happens if he finds out after the transaction?
Could he demand you buy it back?
I'd insist I had no knowledge whatsoever,
But I really don’t know anything.
but in reality, it's fraud.
Let's not talk about these harsh things.
(Yokohama Kita Police Station)
Is there something wrong?
No, nothing.
(National Campaign to Combat Fraud)
Thanks to you, the financing went through
One billion yuan.
Thank you.
This document...
(Real estate sales contract)
(If Ishimoto’s eyes are sharp enough)
(He might notice something in the floor plan)
No problem.
The data has been confirmed.
Next is the signing and sealing.
I feel like my lifespan is getting shorter. It's not good for the heart.
Alright, next is the day of transfer.
Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens.
Goodbye for now.
Sorry.
- Please let me say something. - What's the matter?
- Let me go inside. - Inside?
- I've committed a crime. - Ah? Is that so?
May I ask for your name?
- I'm Mr. Hideo - Mr. Hideo, okay.
- Let's discuss inside. - Sure.
I'm the notary for this transaction, Okazaki.
The time has come, so let's begin.
Please provide the data, seller.
(Transfer of ownership)
Thank you.
Over here, the transfer of ownership is already complete.
Next, we need to confirm the data for the release of mortgages.
First, "Shirasui Bank," please.
Alright.
(Mortgage cancellation)
Thank you.
No problem.
Thanks.
Next, please, "Industrial Central Bank."
Thank you.
No problem.
Thanks.
Next, please, "Kanto Central Bank."
Yes.
What else? How much did you borrow?
Those banks entrusted me to borrow.
Thank you.
What's the matter, sir?
That building designer went to the police station.
Really?
No problem.
Thank you.
Next is "Yokohama First Bank."
yes.
Why is there still more?
Thank you.
Huh?
Yokohama First Bank, your power of attorney has expired.
Is that so?
What are you doing?
I'm truly sorry.
Luckily, I have another power of attorney from your bank.
Let me use that for now.
Thank you.
No problem.
I'm really sorry about this.
The transfer of ownership and related debt information have been confirmed.
Now, let's proceed with the settlement. Is that okay?
This is Ishimoto. The data has just been confirmed.
Can you help me transfer the funds to the designated account?
Sure, I'll take care of it for you.
Before confirming the receipt, please wait a moment, everyone.
Excuse me.
Hey, hasn't Kitagawa come in yet?
(Hazaki Sawazaki, account balance: ten yuan)
What's this? 10 yen? This is ridiculous.
Should we call the Akasaka branch?
Wait a moment, hold on.
Mr. Nishiki.
Here.
Here, here, here!
(Deposit transaction details: 1.5 billion)
The payment has been confirmed!
Now, please transfer the money to the respective banks immediately.
Thank you, Mr. Nishiki.
Confirmed.
Deposit confirmed.
Sorry.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - You've worked hard.
Well, because I need to submit the commission today,
I'll go to the Legal Affairs Bureau first.
I'll take my leave.
Congratulations, President Ishimoto.
Congratulations to you too.
Here.
Let's have another round.
- cheers! - cheers!
Great, sir.
We owe it all to you. I'll calculate a share for you.
Look at this!

I feel like I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes…
The alchemy where the rich get richer.
You're talking about yourself, Manager.
Don't tease me.
Mom, something big happened.
What's wrong?

Mr. Ishimoto.
(Architectural designer Hideo Yuki)
This is your reward for this time.
(Check: 300 million Japanese yen, by Hajime Sazawaki) Is this okay?
You've just lost everything; you absolutely deserve it.
You've been through a lot along the way.
If I Accept this; I won't be an honest employee anymore.
How long are you going to keep up this act?
Being happy is what matters most.
Your family must be waiting for you.
What to do is your decision.
Did you bring it with you, Mr. Nishiki?
We agreed on today; if you don't pay, we'll have a headache.
I could take the promissory note to the bank and find someone.
Sorry for the delay.
Well, you never paid,
so now with interest...
Wow, it’s almost 10 million.
What are you planning to do? Huh? This?
I will repay.
How will you repay?
I'm asking how you plan to repay.
I'll repay right here and now.
If you talk nonsense, I won't be responsible for the consequences.
Here's ten million.
Is this okay?
Ah, remember you still owe me money.
I'll take this.
You've worked hard.
(Sorry, this time I couldn't meet your expectations)
Let's go.
Do you remember what you have to do this Sunday?
Sunday?
(Shuo's parent-teacher meeting)
Shuo, do you want to tell Dad what you're going to do?
I'm going to present my research in front of everyone.
Wow, a research presentation, that's impressive.
What research did you do?
I can't say yet.
You can secretly tell Dad.
Dad might need to prepare mentally.
Prepare mentally?
I'm presenting a study about Dad.
mine…?
Yes, I'm presenting a day in the life of Dad.
The title is "A Hero's Day." Impressive, right?
Wow, look, dad was so moved that he cried.
So you must come; you'll be the hero.
Mr. Kuroda!
Keep it up, keep it up, keep going!
Great! Amazing!
You're not winning over ten thousand yen, are you?
Isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?
Takino has already told me everything.
Takino...?
You're quite impressive.
But have you heard this saying? "He who bets often loses."
Even if you win at horse racing, you lose the bet of life.
Is that really how you want it, Mr. Kuroda?
You're not noble enough to judge others.
- I can reveal everything too. - Then go ahead.
What?
Me.
Previously for gambling
For money, I sold my soul
But now I
I have the chance to reclaim my soul.
It's the last chance to be a good person.
I won't regret it anymore.

(After the arrest of Manager Kujou and President Ishimoto)
(And a while after Takino was arrested)
(After that, I couldn't contact Mr. Nishiki)
(Now, thinking back on this series of events)
(For Mr. Nishiki, it was a war for survival)
(And I, too, survived)
(In a corner of the world, perhaps I'm just a tiny existence)
(but for me)
(I want to live in this irreplaceable life)
(I will continue to live, striving)
Mr. Nishiki?
Sempai, we're going to be late.
Sempai!
What's wrong?
- Ah, it's nothing. - Let's go.
We're running out of time.
