[Erika] What's wrong?
[Ryoichi] I'm sorry, Erika!
[Erika]
Do you think
I'm not capable of m*rder?
[screams]
[Ryoichi]
You'll forgive me?
Good boy.
You've got to be kidding me.
[Ryoichi sobbing]
Erika.
[Kako]
So, a mere affair
isn't going to work.
[phone buzzes]
[Kyosuke]
I got Erika out
without a hitch!
We won't be back until tonight.
From your sl*ve.
[Kako]
I wonder if there is
anything I can do
while Erika is away.
[Ren, exclaiming]
That's amazing!
Go!
So fast!
[Kako]
Such a small back.
If my baby had lived,
they would have been
this tall by now.
[Ren]
Go!
Amazing! So fast!
Go!
Awesome!
Go!
Mommy!
My mistake.
I'm sorry, Ms. Housekeeper.
[sobs]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Ren.
[Kako]
My child is dead.
So why is Erika and
Ryoichi's child still alive?
Huh?
But I'm the one
who made the mistake.
Sadness... Go away.
Ren.
Don't worry.
If you get sad again,
I'll show you my treasure box.
[♪♪♪]
Ms. Housekeeper.
Next time, can I call you Kako?
What?
Yes.
Of course you can.
[Ryoichi yawning]
Good morning.
Daddy!
Belated good morning!
Mr. Ryoichi,
I'll get your breakfast ready.
Could you just wait a moment?
[Ryoichi]
Sure, please.
[♪♪♪]
DEEP REVENGE
[exclaims]
These are
all my favorite things.
How did you know?
[chuckles]
All right, without further ado,
I'm digging in.
Mmm!
[Kako]
How is it?
Delicious.
This is good.
I'm glad.
It's weird, isn't it?
Why a guy like me married Erika.
Eh?
The thing is,
I was in debt.
Debt?
Yes.
I've always loved to gamble,
and one day,
I was up to my ears in debt.
[♪♪♪]
Kako?
Oh, no...
It's just that I've never
heard this before.
[chuckles]
Of course not.
It's not good for my image,
so I can't really talk about it.
And that's when Erika showed up.
She said she'd pay it all off.
I thought she was a goddess.
Erika was the one
who took care of everything.
So you had better be grateful.
You should've just
stayed asleep forever.
So that's why...
No, I'm sure
Ms. Erika fell in love instantly
and just couldn't leave you.
No.
It seems like I was a good fit
for her purposes, too.
A good fit?
Well, you see, I'm okay
with Erika having affairs.
So it's something like an open
marriage on the wife's side.
A normal guy wouldn't
have allowed that, right?
[sighing]
But I owe her that much.
I see.
But my stress
is piling up so much.
And being banned
from gambling is such a drag.
So that's where hamster racing
comes in.
Right.
In any case, our marriage
is not based on love.
But a home-cooked meal like this
makes me happy.
How many years has it been?
Mr. Ryoichi, if you'd like...
Hm?
Shall we go out somewhere now,
just the two of us?
[stammers]
Where?
[indistinct chatter]
What is this place?
This is a secret casino
where only a select few
are allowed in.
Everyone who plays here
is an executive
from a major corporation.
As a department head
at the Mido Group,
I thought you'd be
more than qualified.
[chuckles]
Kako, how do you know
about a place like this?
A CEO I used to work for as
a housekeeper came here often.
[exclaims]
Mr. Ryoichi,
I know you prefer horse racing
but it wouldn't be good
if Ms. Erika found out, so...
Don't worry.
Ms. Erika
will never find you here.
Well, but...
Everyone needs to let loose
sometimes.
[♪♪♪]
[laughs]
[Ryoichi]
Let's do this.
[Kako]
Yes, just like that,
keep falling deeper
into your gambling addiction
unaware that this will be
your first step towards hell.
VERIFYING VALIDITY
MS. SATO KAKO, VALIDITY ERROR
CONTINUE WITHOUT
VERIFYING VALIDITY,
VERIFY NEW INSURANCE CARD
Who in the world are you?
[Kako]
It'll be fine.
You'll definitely pass
without a doubt, Ren.
But...
You'll be fine,
I promise.
Okay.
Good morning, Ren, Erika!
Oh, my. You're up early.
Today's a big day for Ren,
after all!
Here we go!
You're right.
It's true. Today is...
a very important day.
[chuckles]
Well then, Kako.
Will you drive us
to the school?
Yes.
We're counting on you.
All right, let's go!
[Ryoichi]
The rest is up to Ren now.
[Erika]
You don't need to worry
about that child.
He's smart, after all.
We have some time before his
test. Let's have some tea.
Welcome back.
Join us too, Kako.
Yes.
[Erika]
You seem to be in a good mood.
[chuckles]
That's because
the interview went well.
You're right.
You sounded very reliable.
Erika.
I'm going to be a proper father
from now on.
[scoffs]
What are you talking about?
You've already done enough.
No.
I know I've always
caused trouble
but this time, I'm going
to make you both happy.
[Erika]
You don't have to.
Just be yourself.
Erika.
Because there's no need
for that anymore.
[man]
Are you Mido Ryoichi?
Who are you?
We have an arrest warrant
for you
on suspicion of embezzlement.
What? Arrest?
Hey, Erika, what's going on?
You should know exactly
what this is about.
[♪♪♪]
[phone buzzes]
Amount due this month,
Payment due date,
end of this month
You've got to be kidding.
Ten million in one week?
This is bad.
I got too carried away.
What am I going to do?
[knocking]
Come in.
Excuse me.
Sir,
regarding this invoice
could you please provide
the bank account
for receiving the transfer?
Bank account receiving
the transfer?
Yes.
Hey, since we're at it,
can I give you
a few more to process?
In that case, I'll come back
for them in a while.
Okay, thanks.
Excuse me.
[door opens]
[laughing]
Fake invoices. Of course!
There's still this method!
With this, I'll have
an endless supply of cash.
[sputters]
[spits]
[laughing]
I'll be the King of Gambling...
[Erika]
To think you'd even
lay your hands
on company funds.
Forgive me, Erika!
I'm sorry!
This time...
This time, I swear,
I'll turn over a new leaf!
Prison suits you better
than a luxury condo.
Officer,
this person is no longer
a member of the Mido family
so please call him Yamada.
Erika.
Shut up!
This school
requires both parents
to be present
for the interview.
Your part in this ends here.
I've already spoken
to the headmaster separately.
I've already given them
a suitable bribe.
So there's no doubt
that his admission is secured.
That's all.
[♪♪♪]
No way.
Oh, my. The rain has stopped.
No way.
[sobbing]
No! Stop it!
Come on!
No!
Stop shouting!
Hey, that was an awesome show,
wasn't it?
Come on, let's go!
Since you helped me
No!
with the whole affair issue,
I wanted you to see this.
I see.
The one thing
that doesn't make sense
is him embezzling money
with a fake account.
That was too smart
for someone like him.
[line ringing]
[Kako] Is this
the accounting department?
This is Mido Ryoichi's
housekeeper.
May I come by now to drop off
some documents
he forgot at home?
[Kako]
And with that,
I created an opportunity.
Knowing how cunning Ryoichi is
he'll definitely write his bank
account on this fake invoice.
Ms. Erika.
They say humans
are always smart enough
for a little bit
of deceit.
I suppose that's true.
DEEP REVENGE
[Kako]
It has been a while,
Mr. Ryoichi.
Kako.
I can't believe you came.
I'm glad.
Have you lost some weight?
You're worried about me?
Goodness.
If you'd like,
how about we play a game?
Just to take your mind
off things.
No, I'm already...
It's always important to relax,
no matter the occasion.
These are your cards,
Mr. Ryoichi.
Now, which card
would you like to see first?
Uh...
Then, let's start
from the right.
Certainly.
Good luck.
Three of a kind.
[♪♪♪]
W-Why is there a picture
of Nozomi?
This truck...
It's from that accident...
What's wrong?
What?
Don't tell me...
You're not going to fold,
are you?
Well then, here we go.
This...
That scar...
Why is that scar on your arm,
Kako?
Could it be...
You...
Are you Takamura Nozomi?
Have you finally realized?
Long time no see, Ryoichi.
No way. Why?
Why?
I had to give up my face
and my name because of you two.
But you know...
I can never forget this scar
and my desire for revenge.
You...
You k*lled my baby.
Do you really think you'll get
off with this light punishment?
I'm sorry.
I only followed Erika's
instructions, that's all!
In exchange for paying off
my debts, she said your...
What about me?
[guard]
Time's up.
[chuckling]
Guess you missed out on learning
the most important secret.
What a foolish woman.
To think that
you'd reveal your true identity.
When I get out,
I'll show you hell.
You know...
You're no longer
part of the Mido family,
yet you know their secret.
Do you really think
you'll be safe from here on out?
Right.
She left a message for you.
She said, "Be careful not to end
up dying an unfortunate death
in prison."
[♪♪♪]
Five of a kind.
I win.
No, I don't want to die. No!
No! I don't want to die!
Save me! Save me, Nozomi!
Nozomi!
[door closes]
[laughing]
[Kako]
And with that, one part
of my revenge is finally over.
But...
Just what was Erika's reason
for targeting me?
You became a member
of the Mido family
not because
I was in love with you.
You do understand that,
don't you?
It was all a transaction.
A transaction?
[doorbell rings]
[Aiko]
Erika, are you there?
It's your mommy...
Ms. Aiko?
A wedding invitation?
What?
I'm not going, obviously.
Oh dear, Erika...
You're on edge
because of the divorce, right?
Tatsutoshi
said so, too.
He said, "You can't even
manage your home.
What a disgrace
to the Mido family."
[gasps]
That's right!
Maybe I'll make dinner
for Ren.
After all,
I am a culinary expert.
I have 80,000 followers
and you can't cook, Erika!
Of course I can cook.
Really?
Then, can I livestream it?
[Erika]
Go ahead.
[Aiko]
Really? That makes me so happy!
Ta-da!
Here is a lovely à la carte meal
handmade
by my adorable daughter.
It's fine.
Food isn't
all about the appearance.
There we go.
Okay, I'll start
with the salad first.
[clinks]
What is this?
I changed the parmesan cheese
and used "Jewel-mesan" cheese.
Jewel...
What?
As for my recommendation...
I guess it would be
these calamari rings.
What's "Jewel-mesan"?
Is this a prank?
What's going on?
Ignore it
Gosh, calamari rings?
I'm digging in!
This is a bracelet!
Yes. You like those, don't you?
You...
Are you out of your mind?
For a wannabe celebrity whose
job title is "influencer"...
I just thought you'd be
a fan of jewels.
Who are you calling a wannabe
celebrity? Don't mess with me.
I know all about you.
All the shady things you do
in the shadows.
[chuckles]
I know a few things, too.
That you attend paid drinking
parties and compensated dating
and spread your legs willingly
for any elite who will have you.
[gasps]
[running footsteps departing]
[Erika laughs]
Unbelievable.
She's always
making a fool of me.
Ms. Aiko!
Please wait.
Here.
What is it?
I don't need your sympathy.
What's that scar?
Ms. Erika did this to me.
Eh...?
Is that so?
Well...
Just now, you said
something about
Ms. Erika doing things
in the shadows.
Ah...
Yes.
That woman...
has a secret.
A secret?
[laughs]
Fine.
Since you showed me
your secret...
It's Ren.
That child...
isn't Erika's child.
[♪♪♪]
[Aiko]
Ren is not Erika's child.
Would you like me to help you?
Serves you right, Kako!
This is different
from what you promised.
[Aiko]
I don't think I can do it,
after all.
You were connected to Aiko too,
weren't you?
Why are you investigating
the Mido family's DNA?
