[00:03] Ibusuki
    When did you receive these messages?
[00:05] Manager
    Just yesterday.
[00:07] Manager
    She's claiming to be his
    18-year-old biological child.
[00:10] Manager
    This is a threat.
[00:11] Manager
    She wants to meet in person to confirm their
    relationship, or she'll ruin the performance.
[00:17] Sato
    Scary.
[00:18] Manager
    We've experienced weird messages
    and unhinged fans before,
[00:23] Manager
    but this isn't a good time for that.
[00:26] Ibusuki
    You need the police or a lawyer.
    We can't do anything for you.
[00:30] Manager
    We've received a ton
    of nonsensical messages.
[00:34] Manager
    The police think it's some kind of prank
    and won't do anything about it.
[00:38] Donraku
    There's nothing they can do if it's
    just threats to ruin the show.
[00:44] Donraku
    Since Yuki's death, I've been receiving
    more messages slandering me.
[00:49] Sato
    The entertainment industry sounds rough.
[00:51] Manager
    But thankfully, we've been getting more
    supportive and encouraging messages as well.
[00:56] Donraku
    People have always sent me their thoughts
    on my shows or new rakugo scripts.
[01:03] Donraku
    But this is no joke.
[01:06] Donraku
    I guess the silver lining is that I don't know
    the first thing about computers.
[01:11] Donraku
    The most I do is occasionally
    check my own videos.
[01:13] Sato
    What? You mean you don't write
    your own posts on social media?
[01:16] Donraku
    This guy writes all of them.
[01:18] Sato
    What?
[01:19] Manager
    Since we spend so much time together,
    I can guess what he'd say.
[01:22] Donraku
    If I really got into it, it'd get out of hand.
[01:27] Sato
    Actually, sometimes you get flamed pretty—
[01:29] Ibusuki
    Enough about that.
[01:31] Rena
    Any idea who it might be?
[01:33] Donraku
    Don't tell my wife.
[01:36] Donraku
    I don't want to put anymore
    emotional strain on her.
[01:40] Rena
    You know who it is?
[01:42] Manager
    A secret lovechild.
[01:44] Donraku
    It's not a secret anymore, though.
[01:47] Donraku
    And I only have one child
    outside my marriage.
[01:53] Donraku
    A man who grew up a long time ago.
[02:02] Sato
    Hello.
[02:13] Wadagaki
    Why is this happening?
[02:16] Wadagaki
    It's not my fault, right?
[02:25] Sato
    Hello?
[02:28] Sato
    What? Odokawa-san's...
[02:30] Taeko
    My place has been empty.
[02:33] Taeko
    Once you're out of the hospital,
    you need to stop by for drinks.
[02:37] Rena
    Excuse us.
[02:39] Imai
    What? Rena-chan?
[02:41] Odokawa
    Sorry, who are you?
[02:45] Rena
    The rabbit from Imai-san's cabaret club.
[02:48] Rena
    I think you called me a Polish.
[02:52] Odokawa
    Oh, right.
[02:53] Rena
    Do you remember who you
    drove on October 4th?
[02:58] Odokawa
    That girl from Mystery Kiss. The black cat.
[03:02] Sato
    Is this her?
[03:04] Odokawa
    I don't know. It doesn't match up
    with people's faces.
[03:08] Rena
    Do you not remember Wadagaki Sakura's face?
[03:13] Imai
    Rena-chan, that's enough. I don't
    want to cause him anymore trouble.
[03:18] Rena
    But if Odokawa-san is the only witness—
[03:21] Imai
    It's okay. I'll protect Odokawa-sama.
[03:25] Imai
    I owe him for getting my billion yen back.
[03:28] Imai
    You can count on me. Okay?
[03:30] Rena
    This is what I've investigated...
[03:33] Rena
    I summarized everything
    I know about Yuki.
[03:34] Nakamine
    Huh.
[03:40] Sato
    Look at this right here.
[03:43] Sato
    See? It went out.
[03:44] Nakamine
    You're trying to say someone entered
    the office before them, right?
[03:46] Sato
    Yes.
[03:48] Nakamine
    You can certainly see a silhouette, but...
[03:51] Rena
    I saw the news.
[03:52] Rena
    They say something might've
    happened before Nikaido arrived.
[03:57] Nakamine
    You mean someone else might've killed her.
[04:00] Nakamine
    This backs up the time Nikaido gave, huh?
[04:04] Rena
    Isn't Nikaido Rui saying the same thing?
[04:07] Nakamine
    She's got nerves of steel.
    She's never changed her story.
[04:11] Rena
    She hasn't committed murder. Am I wrong?
[04:13] Fujiki
    Abandoning a body is still a crime.
[04:17] Rena
    Someone else killed Yuki.
[04:22] Rena
    There's the messages Donraku-san received
    and Odokawa-san's testimony.
[04:27] Rena
    They should be on the dash
    cam data you collected, too.
[04:31] Sato
    Wadagaki Sakura said on TV
    that she's looking for her father.
[04:36] Fujiki
    Hang on, do you really think this
    is something you can figure out?
[04:40] Fujiki
    That driver has visual agnosia, doesn't he?
[04:45] Fujiki
    That casts doubt on his eyewitness testimony.
[04:49] Sato
    But we've brought you evidence.
[04:52] Fujiki
    Okay.
[04:55] Sato
    We're getting nowhere. Let's go, Rena-san.
[04:57] Fujiki
    We've already got plenty of evidence,
    so take this with you.
[05:01] All
    Thank you.
[05:04] Odokawa
    I told you, you don't have to come with me.
[05:06] Odokawa
    If someone were trying to kill me,
    I'd already be dead.
[05:09] Imai
    Then I'll hire a bodyguard for you
    for as long as I can afford it.
[05:13] Odokawa
    I won't be able to work with a bodyguard.
[05:17] Odokawa
    I appreciate everything you've done,
    but leave me alone.
[05:33] Donraku
    Will she really come?
[05:35] Rena
    It's worth a shot.
SIGN    I'll be waiting at this plaza on January 10th. -Donraku
[05:43] Rena
    Are you sick?
[05:45] Sato
    Don't you have a bad feeling about this?
[05:47] Sato
    Remember that analysis we asked
    Sekido-san to run the other day?
[05:51] Rena
    What?
[05:52] Sato
    On Wadagaki's cat food.
[05:54] Rena
    Oh, right. The one full of fertilizer?
[05:56] Sato
    Yeah, that.
[05:58] Sato
    I licked a little while I was on a stakeout.
[06:03] Rena
    What are you doing?
[06:04] Sato
    Actually, I ate it.
[06:07] Wadagaki
    Dad!
[06:08] Sato
    She's here.
[06:09] Rena
    What?
[06:10] Sato
    Wadagaki.
[06:11] Wadagaki
    Dad.
[06:15] Wadagaki
    You're not him.
[06:17] Rena
    Wadagaki-san.
[06:19] Wadagaki
    Rena-chan? What are you doing here?
[06:22] Rena
    I came to stop you.
[06:25] Wadagaki
    Stop me? From doing what?
[06:27] Rena
    It's not too late to turn back.
[06:31] Wadagaki
    Where's my dad? Where's Donraku-san?
[06:34] Wadagaki
    I just wanted to meet him once.
[06:37] Rena
    He doesn't remember you.
[06:39] Wadagaki
    I see. I've heard he
    has kids all over the place.
[06:44] Rena
    But Donraku's only daughter was Yuki.
[06:51] Wadagaki
    Has he forgotten about me?
[06:54] Rena
    He didn't forget about you.
[06:58] Rena
    Listen, Wadagaki-san.
    I don't have parents, either.
[07:06] Rena
    But I've managed somehow. You could still—
[07:09] Wadagaki
    You're not even an idol. You're nothing.
[07:11] Wadagaki
    I have to do whatever it takes
    to make my dream come true.
[07:15] Rena
    It already came true.
[07:17] Wadagaki
    Not yet. I need to make sure.
[07:20] Rena
    So you're okay with killing people?
[07:23] Wadagaki
    That's what my mom said, though.
[07:27] Wadagaki
    That I'd make a good idol.
[07:31] Rena
    What?
[07:34] Wadagaki
    Stay out of my way.
[07:39] Sato
    Watch out!
[07:41] Rena
    Hey! Sato! Sato!
[07:48] Rena
    Wait!
[07:50] Wadagaki
    Hurry up, hurry up!
[07:58] Rena
    Wait! Wait!
[08:08] Wadagaki
    Hello, Mom?
[08:11] Wadagaki
    I thought I'd get to see Dad,
    but it didn't work out.
[08:15] Mom
    Dad?
[08:17] Wadagaki
    Isn't my dad Donraku-san?
    The rakugo storyteller.
[08:21] Wadagaki
    I finally got in touch with him.
[08:24] Mom
    There you go again.
[08:27] Mom
    More importantly,
    I saw you on TV again today.
[08:30] Mom
    You should go back to
    wearing the purple outfit.
[08:34] Wadagaki
    I understand you don't want
    to talk about it, but...
[08:38] Mom
    I don't want to hear about Donraku.
[08:42] Wadagaki
    I knew it.
[08:43] Mom
    Have you forgotten?
[08:45] Mom
    I've been saying that for your sake,
    so why are you digging up the past now?
[08:49] Wadagaki
    What?
[08:51] Mom
    Your dad left us because he admired Donraku.
[08:57] Mom
    Seeing Donraku reminded you of
    your father. It's hard for me, too.
[09:02] Mom
    You understand that, don't you?
    He left me to take care of you by myself.
[09:10] Wadagaki
    Hey Mom, that can't be right!
[09:13] Mom
    Enough! No more of this talk.
[09:15] Mom
    Why do you think I let you go to Tokyo?
[09:17] Mom
    It certainly wasn't to look for your father!
[09:21] Mom
    I entrusted all my dreams to you.
[09:26] Mom
    I'm disappointed.
[09:38] Wadagaki
    Yeah, I transferred to a bigger agency.
[09:44] Wadagaki
    Yeah. Things are going so well,
    it's almost scary.
[09:47] Wadagaki
    At first, I hounded the manager
    after I failed an audition.
[09:52] Wadagaki
    Thinking about it now makes me laugh.
[09:55] Wadagaki
    I was frustrated, though.
[09:58] Wadagaki
    If they hadn't become famous after that,
    I think I would've been content.
[10:02] Wadagaki
    But when I heard they'd be making their
    major debut, I couldn't sit still anymore.
[10:08] Wadagaki
    Yeah, everything's going well.
[10:12] Wadagaki
    All I headed out to do was find the taxi
    I rode in then, but I think I found it.
[10:19] Wadagaki
    It was a total coincidence.
    I must be lucky after all.
[10:24] Wadagaki
    Everything's going my way.
[10:27] Wadagaki
    Like you said, I'm gonna do whatever it takes
    to make my dream come true.

[10:41] Man B
    Long time, no see.
[10:43] Man B
    Where have you been?
[10:44] Kakihana
    Uh, in the hospital? I've got a bad back.
[10:51] Man B
    You still owe us a lot of money.
[10:54] Kakihana
    I'll pay you this week.
[10:58] Man A
    Let's go.
[10:58] Kakihana
    Wait.
[11:00] Kakihana
    I promise I'll pay you back
    by the end of the month.
[11:23] Odokawa
    Where to?
[11:30] Odokawa
    Where to?
[11:33] Wadagaki
    It suddenly started raining that day, too.
[11:37] Wadagaki
    I hopped into the first taxi I saw.
[11:41] Wadagaki
    You don't remember me?
[11:45] Odokawa
    Sorry.
[11:48] Wadagaki
    It's fine. I just thought you'd
     freak out a little more.
[11:54] Odokawa
    So, where to?
[11:58] Wadagaki
    Here's fine.
[11:59] Odokawa
    "Here's fine"?
[12:01] Wadagaki
    Yeah, here's fine.
[12:04] Wadagaki
    The city's full of cameras, you know?
[12:11] Odokawa
    Cameras?
[12:14] Man B
    Where's the guy with the money?
[12:16] Kakihana
    He'll be here soon. Yup.
[12:17] Man B
    Shut your face.
[12:18] Man A
    You're not making any sense.
[12:19] Wadagaki
    All I've got is my good luck.
[12:23] Odokawa
    Oh, yeah? I'm lucky, too.
[12:25] Wadagaki
    Then it's my luck against your luck.
[12:30] Kakihana
    Odokawa, I gotta ask you for a—
[12:38] Rena
    What? Hey, wait!
[12:40] Caster
    When he saw his taxi driver friend
    being attacked by a suspicious person,
SIGN    Letter of Appreciation
    Kakihana Eiji-dono
[12:43] Caster
    he risked his life to defend—
[12:47] Sekido
    Nice work.
[12:49] Rena
    I came today because
    I'm quitting the agency soon.
[12:56] Sekido
    It's all there. Are you
    paying for this yourself?
[13:01] Rena
    Thank you for everything you've done.
[13:04] Rena
    Anyway, I'd like to dispose of the GPS
    and stuff you installed for me before.
[13:09] Sato
    Oh, crap. I forgot about that.
[13:12] Sekido
    I already took care of it.
[13:14] Sekido
    I can't believe you turned it in
    to the police as evidence.
[13:18] Sekido
    I'm getting reamed from all directions
    because of you two.
[13:22] Rena
    I'm really sorry.
[13:23] Sato
    Sorry.
[13:26] Sekido
    By the way, did you look through
    all the data I gave you before?
[13:30] Sekido
    From the dead high school girl's phone.
[13:33] Rena
    No. I thought it would be too painful.
[13:37] Sekido
    But there's something you've
    gotta do before you quit.
[13:40] Rena
    What?
[13:51] Kumiko
    He's stubborn, isn't he?
[13:53] Kumiko
    He never listens to me.
[13:56] Rena
    You're really not going to do it?
[14:00] Kanon
    Is the naming really that big a deal?
[14:04] Donraku
    I'm just reaping what I sowed.
[14:09] Donraku
    I doubt the world will forgive me.
[14:15] Kanon
    Who cares about the world?
[14:17] Kanon
    You should do what you want.
[14:21] Rena
    I think Yuki would be sad to hear that.
[14:25] Donraku
    I've got too many things I can't say.
[14:29] Donraku
    In public I act like I say whatever I want,
[14:33] Donraku
    but I had too many secrets
    I didn't want Yuki to know.
[14:38] Donraku
    I wish I could've talked to her more
    while she was still alive.
[14:45] Rena
    This is the data that was on Yuki's phone.
[14:50] Rena
    I think you could wait to decide
    until after you've seen it.
[15:30] Mitsuya
    Can you see me?
[15:44] Mitsuya
    Can you see me?
[15:48] Mitsuya
    Wow, what a personal question.
[15:58] Mitsuya
    My family is... kind of complicated.
[16:04] Mitsuya
    My dad is a distinguished man, and
    my mom basically raised me on her own.
[16:11] Mitsuya
    That makes her pretty great, too.
[16:15] Mitsuya
    Since coming to Tokyo, I've had more
    opportunities to spend time with him.
[16:20] Mitsuya
    I really wish we could all live together.
[16:25] Mitsuya
    There's always been distance
    between us and my dad,
[16:30] Mitsuya
    and my mom and I used to fight
    about it all the time.
[16:35] Mitsuya
    Once, my mom was so angry that she only
    put rice and pickled plums in my lunch.
[16:45] Mitsuya
    My dad's experienced a lot
    of twists along his road, but...
[16:56] Mitsuya
    I've seen how he keeps
    plugging along despite it.
[17:03] Mitsuya
    Now I wish I could see
    the same sights he does,
[17:11] Mitsuya
    and I'd be happy if he worked even harder
[17:15] Mitsuya
    to show our family even
    more incredible sights.
[17:27] Ibusuki
    If you ever feel like coming back,
    we'd love to have you.
[17:35] Rena
    I'm off.
[17:36] Otani
    See you later.
[17:44] Sato
    Rena-san!
[17:49] Sato
    You're quitting? For real?
[17:50] Rena
    For real, yeah.
[17:53] Sato
    Will I ever see you again?
[17:57] Rena
    Oh, right. Are you interested in rakugo?
[18:02] Sato
    What?
SIGN    Shofutei Hiraku
[18:03] Sato
    Hey, we're sitting next to each other! Nice!
[18:07] Rena
    Yeah, because I bought the tickets together.
[18:08] Otani
    Sorry I'm late.
[18:10] Otani
    I managed to finish up and make it here.
[18:12] Rena
    Thank you.
[18:13] Sato
    What? It's not just us today?
[18:14] Otani
    What? I was originally supposed
    to go with just Rena-chan.
[18:15] Kanon
    Hello!
[18:19] Otani
    Nice to meet you. You're so cute!
[18:20] Sato
    Wow, looks like everyone's here.
[18:23] Rena
    Shall we?
[18:25] Sato
    I guess I'll sit—
[18:26] Otani
    Oof.
[18:28] Sato
    Excuse me, Rena-san.
[18:29] Rena
    Our seats are great.
[18:30] Otani
    Yeah.
SIGN    Shofutei
    Hiraku
[18:36] Donraku
    All day and night, the news has been
    digging into my family matters,
[18:41] Donraku
    so I didn't think anyone would show up today.
[18:45] Donraku
    But if this many of you have gathered here,
[18:47] Donraku
    then it's like they say. Another man's
    misfortune is like honey.
[18:53] Donraku
    Looks like a lot of people
    wanted to see Donraku squirm.
[18:59] Donraku
    No, wait. I'm not Donraku anymore.
[19:03] Donraku
    I've been given the great
    name of Shofutei Hiraku.
[19:08] Donraku
    That makes me the third.
[19:10] Donraku
    I've been named a tomena of my school.
[19:12] Donraku
    A tomena is the biggest name within
    a school. The final destination.
[19:17] Donraku
    So all that's left is for the name to die.
[19:20] Fan
    Hey, Hiraku!
[19:21] Donraku
    Thank you.
[19:22] Donraku
    It used to be that out of "drink,
    play, buy," I used to do all three.
[19:31] Donraku
    Because of that, people would tease me
[19:35] Donraku
    by saying the characters in my
    name meant I fall into my drink.
[19:40] Donraku
    But now, I'm clean. I'm all clean.
[19:43] Donraku
    A lot of people used to say my
    drinking would get me into trouble.
[19:50] Donraku
    People say all kinds of things,
    like alcohol is an addiction,
[19:52] Donraku
    it's the best medicine,
    it'll take years off your life.
[19:55] Donraku
    But when it becomes a bad habit,
    it destroys everything around you.
[20:00] Donraku
    There used to be a man named Kumagoro.
    He was a skilled carpenter.
[20:05] Donraku
    He was a good person
    as long as he didn't drink.
[20:10] Donraku
    One day he headed out to a funeral
    at a temple in Sanya.
[20:14] Donraku
    Typically they don't
    serve alcohol at funerals,
[20:16] Donraku
    but accommodating temples will
    serve alcohol and call it "hannyato."
[20:21] Donraku
    He had too much of the stuff
    and got good and drunk.
[20:25] Donraku
    Feeling magnanimous, he decided
    to head out to Yoshiwara,
[20:32] Donraku
    where he got to know a working girl.
[20:35] Donraku
    He had a wife and kid at home,
    so naturally, it led to nonstop fighting.
[20:40] (Flashback) Donraku
    Why don't you settle down and come back?
[20:44] (Flashback) Donraku
    We can get remarried.
[20:47] (Flashback) Kumiko
    This is a difficult time for her, too.
[20:49] (Flashback) Yuki
    Hey, I'm actually dealing
    with something right now.
[20:52] (Flashback) Kumiko
    I'm sorry, Yuki. Were we too loud?
[20:54] (Flashback) Yuki
    No. I'm just going out for a walk.
[20:56] (Flashback) Donraku
    At this hour? You'll turn into a delinquent.
[20:59] (Flashback) Kumiko
    You're one to talk.
[21:02] (Flashback) Donraku
    Well, you got me there.
[21:03] (Flashback) Yuki
    My friend said she has
    something important to discuss.
[21:05] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'll be right back.
[21:07] (Flashback) Kumiko
    Be careful!
[21:08] (Flashback) Yuki
    Okay!
[21:09] (Flashback) Kumiko
    You can't just act like her father
    out of nowhere.
[21:11] (Flashback) Donraku
    You don't have to put it like that.
[21:12] (Flashback) Yuki
    Sheesh.
[21:13] Donraku
    After all the selfish crap I've done,
    I'm in no position to say this,
[21:19] Donraku
    but if you want, I'd like the three of us
    to live together again like family.
[21:28] Donraku
    I'm begging you.
[21:36] Donraku
    Are you serious? Really?
[21:42] Donraku
    Thank you. I couldn't ask for better.
    I'd given up on you.
[21:50] Donraku
    Kame-chan, Dad's gonna
    come back home for you.
[21:57] Donraku
    The three of us can live together again.
[22:00] Donraku
    They say children are the clamp that
    holds a couple together, but I guess it's true.
[22:07] Donraku
    What? I'm a clamp?
[22:10] Donraku
    Oh, I get it now. That's why you said
    you'll hit me on the head with a hammer.
[22:24] Proctor
    That's time. Please set
    your writing implements down.
