01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

Did you k*ll my sister? Tell me now!

Goodbye. Ms. Motomiya.

Natsu seems like she doesn't want you
probing any further into the fire.

She's doing it to protect you.

They're records of secret accounts
found on my sister's laptop.

Mom's gone. Natsu's in danger.

You people took everything from me.

I will...

k*ll Natsu.

I'll call again.
You'd better not call the police.

Wait!

Kidnapped?

By my mother.

She said to not call the police.

This was in her hotel room.

She must have really hated Natsu
for stealing the CEO position.

Are you sure Miki is behind this?

What?

I'm thinking Mitsuko's
the one behind this kidnapping.

What do you mean?

She's been feeling quite resentful
towards Natsu as of late.

No, you're wrong.

Exactly. Mitsuko could never
do something like a kidnapping...

Excuse me.

I've just checked
with our security cameras,

but there's been
some sort of system error.

The cameras were not working.

So, there's no footage
of Ms. Imai being taken?

None.

Where is Mitsuko?

-Chiaki?
-You need to leave, now.

-Split up and search.
-Yes, sir!

Quickly!

Mitsuko.

I hear Ms. Isuzu
has everyone looking for you?

She thinks Mitsuko's the one
behind Natsu's kidnapping.

-What?
-That's what Ms. Isuzu says.

We tried to explain,
but she wouldn't listen.

How did this even happen?
Why would Mom be kidnapped?

I am so, so sorry.
This is all my mother's fault.

Really?

-You think an apology will cut it?
-Aya.

-What if something happens to Mom?
-It's okay. Stop.

We're just as shocked as you are.

-How did you not notice she was off?
-How was I supposed to know?

-Let's all calm down.
-Casting blame won't help.

-You should have noticed!
-I would have stopped her if I'd known!

There's no use in bickering!

-...might have been avoided.
-...what then?

-...wouldn't have come to this!
-...I had no idea!

Everyone, calm down...

Just calm down already!

Hey, where are you going?

To find Natsu.

Mitsuko. You can't.

She's right. We'll be in even
more trouble if you get caught.

I...

If I'd noticed something
was wrong with Natsu earlier,

then we wouldn't be in this situation.

It's my fault...

Natsu is...

-Wait.
-Wait.

We'll look for her.

We'll find Natsu for you.

Who did what to get us here
can come after.

So you should stay here.

Mom might call again.

You should wait here for that.

Sorry for that outburst before.

But we're fine now, really.

So please...

leave it with us.

The Kujos and the Imais
have finally joined forces.

Now I'm crushing on everyone!

Will you listen to us?

Thank you, everyone.

We'll find her.

We'll find Natsu.

What will you do with the business
while the CEO is missing?

Yes...

-Mr. Oginome.
-Yes?

You will act as CEO in the meantime.

Me?

You'll take good care of the company.
Is that understood?

Of course...

And? Have you found Mitsuko?

We're still on the lookout,
but nothing yet.

Any word?

I see.

You haven't eaten, right?

I brought you some breakfast.

Isn't this a bit much?

I had to.

I don't know what you like,
except for shaved ice.

Would you like some bread?

Ms. Isuzu still believes you're the one
behind the kidnapping.

She's acting very strangely.

You'd think as soon as she heard
there'd been a kidnapping,

she would have immediately
reported it to the police.

That's true...

Perhaps there's something
she doesn't want the police to find.

What?

And the system error
with the security cameras

makes it seem as though
somebody helped with the kidnapping.

You don't think it was Ms. Isuzu?

She never did put forth her vote
in the CEO election.

I remember.

It's because she didn't think
Reika or I were cut out to be CEO.

Perhaps there was another reason.

Another reason?

Can you look into her
as well for me, please?

All right. I'll let Reika
and the others know as well.

Thank you.

And...

make sure you eat.

Mitsuko, I brought you some food...

Sorry, you look
like you have enough already.

No, I'll have yours too.

You. You were Mom's spy, right?

Is there anything you can share with us?

A secret hideout, or something?

I wouldn't know...

Well, that's okay.

What about Ms. Isuzu?

Yes. You've always been like her shadow.

Have you noticed anything suspicious?

Like who she's with, what she does,
and where and when?

Have you really not noticed anything?

I guess...

-What?
-What?

Ms. Isuzu,

she deposits money somewhere
on a regular monthly basis.

-Money?
-Where? How much?

Can you find out who they're made out to?

Thank you.

Good morning.

Miki.

You were just some carer before,

and now you think you can
be CEO of Kujo Development?

You bit off more than you could chew.

Will you beg for your life?

Get down on your knees.

Apologize for all
the mess that you've made.

Apologize!

There may be something about Ms. Isuzu.

You really are amazing, Mitsuko.

You're always so calm.

Not like me.

I can't stop worrying about Mom.

I'm the same.

Then how?

Do you know what this is?

Go ahead.

k*ll me if you want.

I got what I wanted.

Tomo and Aya have grown
into fine young adults.

And my promise to Ken'ichi?

His project will see the light of day.

And so...

I am at peace.

And furthermore...

What are you doing?

This.

It's called anchoring.

I learned it from Ms. Motomiya.

From Mitsuko.

This was the first thing she taught me.

Anchoring?

You create your own anchor.

When you make this gesture,

you remember
the happiest moment in your life.

It can steel your resolve.

The happiest moment in your life?

What's that for you?

When I was a kid,

I had shaved ice with my sister.

But now, I have more.

I need you, Mitsuko.

I never even noticed,

but now I have so many happy memories.

So, so many

happy memories.

You can leave it with me.

Leave it with us.

And now...

you have no power over me.

Now that you mention it,

Mom would do this when she was alone.

She said it made her feel better
knowing she was connected with you.

She said that?

I hope she's all right.

Right...

I got a voice message.

A voice message?

VOICEMAIL - MOM

Hi, Tomo. About that list you gave me.

We need to talk right away.

LIST OF POTENTIAL
MEDICAL FACILITIES

Mitsuko?

That document is still in the basement.

I'm going to go and get it.

Wait.

I'll come with you.

Okay.

It's been so long,
and what are you here for?

You're here for Miki.

We're trying to find her.

Do you know where she might be?

Please, we don't have much time.

Anything you can share will help.
Please, I beg you.

You've changed.

You used to have a cold and distant gaze.

Now, you wear your heart on your sleeve.

If only you were how you are now.
Then you might have become CEO.

Mr. Bando...

I do have one idea.

Miki has a house
she purchased as a secret hideaway.

Then I'll k*ll you.

But I won't k*ll just you.

Let's be quick.
The guards are still on the lookout.

-Is this it?
-Yeah, that's it.

I didn't really think anything of it.

PLEASE CHECK THROUGH THIS LIST

GET BACK TO ME
BEFORE SEPTEMBER 17

What is it?

It's the seven
from the secret set of accounts.

It's the same.

Who wrote this note?

I don't know...

I'll find out. Wait here.

NATSU IMAI

Hello?

I trust you haven't called the police?

Give Natsu back.

First...

I want you to come here. Alone.

I've got a bone to pick with you too.

Don't do it!

She'll k*ll you!

Call the police!

What will you do?

Will you come?

Will you not?

Where do you want me?

Mitsuko, I got it!

Mr. Oginome?

What are you doing here, Mitsuko?

A secret hideaway?

That's where Natsu is. We have to hurry.

Got it.

By the way, Mr. Oginome.

Do you know who might
have written this note?

I'm not sure. What about it?

My sister found a secret set of accounts
at Kujo Development.

The handwriting looks similar.

A secret set of accounts?

But Miki wasn't the one
who wrote this note,

which means there's someone else
at Kujo Development

who was in charge
of this secret set of accounts.

This person may also be involved

and helping Miki
with this kidnapping incident.

I see.

Mr. Oginome?

Mitsuko. I remember
who wrote the note now.

Who was it?

It was me.

Wait. So you're saying
the one behind the accounts...

Was Mr. Oginome.

Mitsuko... Where are you?

MY HARUTO

It's Haruto.

-Haruto?
-I know where Natsu is.

She's at Mom's secret hideaway.
I'm heading there now.

I'll come too.

-Is this it?
-Yeah.

Let's rescue them both.

Let's go.

-Mom!
-Mitsuko Motomiya!

You're awake?

Mr. Oginome...

What perfect timing.
Your friend has arrived.

Natsu!

Mitsuko.

Mr. Oginome?

Are you okay?

What's with the sudden change in location?

They'd find us too easily
at the other place.

So you two were behind this all along.

Since when?

You were enemies back at the CEO election.

That's right, but...

He had a change of heart.

He says Ms. Imai is not fit to be CEO.

He says the CEO of Kujo Development

should have Kujo blood
running through their veins.

Isn't that right?

Mom's not here.

Neither is Mitsuko.

Now what? Do we tell Ms. Isuzu?

I... want to talk to her.

We were looking into her,
and we found something extraordinary.

Are you ready?

You could k*ll us,
but Haruto still can't become CEO.

He can.

I will make him CEO.

Isn't that right, Mr. Oginome?

Natsu...

How beautiful.

Do it.

You need to watch your mouth, Miki.

Don't you know who I am?

You've been depositing large sums of money

to one person in particular
over the years.

This person in question
is Mr. Kazuo Oginome.



This is Mr. Oginome's father, isn't it?

Your investigations are very thorough.

Is it...

Is Mr. Oginome...

He is...

my son.

Her son?

An illegitimate child?

After I was born,

Mama got officially married
and gave birth to Miki.

And so, Miki,

you should be looking up to me
as your big brother.

Hey.

I wanted to tell you.

But...

I just couldn't.

So he had to keep it a secret
all this time?

While joining Kujo Development,
and while becoming a director?

And yet he was still never satisfied.

It was hopeless.

No matter how hard I tried,
only a real Kujo can be CEO.

But I am a real Kujo.
With real Kujo blood.

So to make up for that,

you were misappropriating funds?

Those "S fees"
from the secret set of accounts...

"Secret fees."

There are funds set aside
that only the CEO can use.

I only just learned about them.

Mr. Oginome must have been
using this money for his own...

Well, Kujo money is my money, isn't it?

Why shouldn't I use it as I see fit?

And my sister found you out.

You didn't want it to get out,

and so you took her life.

Was it you who started that fire?

That's right.

And what a relief it was.

I was glad when she died.

But while I was there,

your husband saw me.

Is that...

why you k*lled him?

And here I thought
I'd gotten rid of all the evidence.

To think there was a photograph
of those accounts still floating around.

Mariko Ohara
must really have it out for me.

You'll pay for this...

-I'll k*ll you!
-Mitsuko!

Sorry, sweetie.
I'm afraid you can't do that.

You two were kidnapped by Miki.

Miki started a fire,
and died alongside you.

That will be the story.

And that will be the end of things.

You did a splendid job
of kicking the Kujos to the curb.

And then I will be CEO!

As a true Kujo descendant.

So Mitsuko, Natsu,

you have nothing to fear.

Now you can

leave it with me.

I...

I couldn't stop him.

There's still time.

Where is Mr. Oginome?

Natsu and Mitsuko's lives are at stake.

Please tell us, Grandma.

In all this time I've not seen you,

you've both grown so much.

He's here.

You call the police.

I want to speak with Natsu.

Can you let us...

speak just this one last time?

Mitsuko?

Sure.

Have your last words.

Natsu.

Mitsuko.

Why did you come?

After I was so mean to you.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault

you're in this predicament.

You're right.

I think this is all your fault.

What?

You should have come to me.

You're stubborn,
and you're so very clumsy.

This is all because you tried
to take everything on yourself.

It's your fault we're in this predicament.

You had your part to play in this too.

I did?

You should have left well enough alone.

You're always worried about others
and sticking your nose in their business.

Sticking my nose in?

I wanted to help you...

You already have.

You don't have to do anything
except just be by my side.

That's what gives me strength.

But why...

didn't you tell me?

About the letter?

You kept everything to yourself.

I can't have you in danger.

I wanted to fight with you.

I don't want you suffering on your own.

-You can forget about me.
-No, I can't!

You can, because...

I couldn't save your sister.

I...

I couldn't help her.

It wasn't your fault.

I see now...

that I've been torturing you with it.

I made you suffer.

Mitsuko...

I'm fine.

You need to know that.

I'm glad I got to see you.

I've missed you...

so, so much, Natsu.

I'm glad...

to see you too.

What are you prattling on about?

I wanted to see you more.

-No. I did.
-No, me.

I have to say this.

Stop looking at me that way.

I just fall to your charms.

No, you're the charming one.

-No, you are.
-You are.

All right, enough already.

What?

Mitsuko!

How?

Miki most likely has an accomplice.

If they catch me,
we'll learn where they're keeping Natsu.

No, it's too dangerous.

Just in case,

I'll take a little protection with me.

Don't do it.

Don't do it, Mitsuko!

Help!

Would you have helped...

if it were my sister?

Mitsuko!

You have a family.

This is for them.

Live! And atone for yourself!

I'm glad.

Police! Don't move!

Mitsuko!

Mitsuko! Wake up!

-Mitsuko!
-You're Miki Kujo?

Stay with me!

Come on, wake up! Mitsuko!

Mitsuko!

This is bliss.

This really is the best.

Mariko.

It's finally over.

I...

I think I'm done.

There's no reason for me
to fight so hard anymore.

Now we can be together...

I'll be fine.

You've given me so many wonderful things.

Now it's your turn to be happy.

Now you get to live for yourself.

Thank you,

Mitsy.

Here. Before it melts.

Okay.

It really is good.

Mitsuko.

I'm sorry.

This was all my fault.

Please...

Please wake up.

We're all

waiting for you.

We all

love you so much.

I...

I love you.

Mitsuko?

Hello.

Natsu.

Hi there.

Mitsuko.

After everything that's happened,
Kujo Development was completely dissolved.

All our employees and all of our projects
have gone elsewhere.

And it's all thanks to Haruto's efforts.

Now,

the Kujo name
has been wiped from this world.

Well?

Don't be shy.
Don't you have anything to say?

Reika.

Have you lost weight?

I'll come see you again, Mom.

You're very lucky to keep your job
as head secretary with the new company.

And you and Tomo
are lucky you get to stay.

And I'll keep up the project too.

There's just one last matter.

What will happen with my crushes?

You've got a Tomo too?

Which ship should I go for?

And today's the day
Mitsuko gets discharged from the hospital.

You're right.

So it's between Haruto and Tomo?

Who will Mitsuko choose?

That's the big question.

-I am so happy!
-What do we do?

-Which do you want?
-Clearly my brother...

Of course you would!

I heard you were discharged today...

Mitsuko's not here.

What? Is she still at the hospital?

No.

I think she's gone.

How very like her.

Haruto. Would you like some shaved ice?

What? Why?

Come on.

One dumpee to another.

In that case, I'll have lemon flavor.

I figured.

Here, before it melts.

-Don't tell me you made this yourself.
-I did not.

-Really?
-I did not!

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Are you ready to head home?
-Yes.

So you're back to being a carer.

Seems fitting for you.

I'm not sure what lies ahead,

but strangely enough,
I'm not even worried.

If I change myself,

I can change my world.

Mitsuko,

you taught me this.

And so...

I know I'll be all right.

Me too.

You taught me something as well.

You showed me how good it feels...

to think of others.

And now,

it's my turn.

So you're leaving again.

Yes.

There are others out there
who need my help.

Mitsuko.

I'll wait for you.

I'll see you again.

I'll be back.

Sniff, sniff, sniff.

Nice to sniff ya. I'm the fox.

You don't look too happy. What's wrong?

My daddy's gone.

I see.

Hey, Shion.

Will you come with me?

Change yourself,
and you can change your world.

Will Foxy be my friend?

Leave it with me.
