[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.

Hello.
[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—

What? Hey, wait!

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.
