Hey.
Are you OK?
I'm OK.
Driver! Pull over the bus. She's not feeling well.
Dad, mum...
...I wish your happiness.
Oh no!
Don't go!
Urara, Urara!
Urara. Urara.
Urara.
Mum.
Oh good. I thought you're dead.
Where am I?
What are you talking about? It's your room.
You talked asleep.
Talked asleep?
"Dad, mum, I wish your happiness."
So you said.
It's noon. Come and eat.
Was it a dream?
(October)
Flat Out Tokyo Girl
Hey, mum! Mum, Listen! It's great.
What is?
It's all dream.
- All? - Yes.
On my 19th birthday...
- ...you celebrated it with me. - And?
You finally told me...
...your secret.
"I told you your divorced father was dead...
...but actually he is alive."
I was so surprised.
I was angry to hear you kept such an important secret.
I went to Tokyo. With all the savings I had.
To live in Tokyo, not to search for my dad.
I said I wanted to go there.
I know.
And then...
...I had all the saving with me...
...on the day of arrival...
...it was stolen!
I got to know a model...
...who introduced me to a person who...
...turns out to be my dad.
What he said to me first was "Get me the underpants."
Can you believe that? So funny!
And dad was a lawyer.
Really.
But as I get to know him, he was dating with the model,...
...an instructor at the gym,...
...and mama of the bar in Roppongi.
Three women at once!
Three at once?
But he is kind of likable.
You said he was devilish...
...but it wasn't true.
I couldn't leave him alone and started to live with him.
You got happy by re-marrying Mr Sasaki.
So I wanted him to be happy by finding someone.
As I wasn't sure who he loved the most...
...actually he didn't know himself...
...I called them all at once to the flat.
All?
Three girlfriends.
But not all could come so it didn't happen.
But they all started to take some distance from him.
I thought Hanako, the model...
...was his love, and I tried hard to put them together.
They are too proud maybe.
They didn't follow their hearts.
They just remained cool to each other.
How about the other two?
They were more of cool relationships...
...than lovers.
Even if they run into each other...
...I don't think they would fight.
Do you understand that?
Kind of.
Oh, yes!
You also came to Tokyo.
Oh really?
I didn't tell you...
...I met my dad and lived with him...
...dad and I both were in such a haste!
But you found it out in the end.
You also worked as a hostess in a club.
Well, you finally...
...approved that I lived with dad and returned home.
What? Did I approve?
As you said good bye...
...you told me that he liked freshly boiled udon noodle.
Is that the approval? I don't think so.
I think so.
That's your interpretation.
Maybe.
It's only my dream.
I see.
Then, why did you come home?
I was planning to stay with my dad until I made him happy...
...he doesn't seem to think he needs me.
He asked Ms Shimizu when he could ask me.
Who?
An admin person.
Dad makes such effort about Mr Sakurai...
...but not me.
That's why...
...I got on the coach.
The lights of Tokyo in distance.
I briefly thought of my dad.
Good bye, dad!
As the bus approached Kotohira...
...somehow I started to feel sick.
I had a fever and had a bad dream.
The bus was crossing the Seto Ohashi Bridge.
In the coach...
...I wish the happiness...
...of dad and mum...
...as I died.
Dad, mum...
...I wish your happiness.
Are you done?
Thank you for food.
What was that?
It was a story of my dream.
You only slept a few hours.
Dreams can be really long.
I feel as if I saw eight episodes of drama series.
Urara, are you still not awake?
I am awake.
I wonder why I remember it so vividly.
Dreams are usually elusive.
It is because that wasn't a dream.
What?
On your 19th birthday...
...you went to Tokyo as you heard your dad was alive.
I also went to Tokyo.
Where you die in the bus is probably a dream.
But it's October.
- December! - Really?
See? It's October.
See? It's December.
Why don't you look at the bus ticket?
(30th November)
What a sleepy-head you are.
I see.
I knew it. It was too real.
You came home for such a reason.
Welcome home.
Thanks.
Oh no!
What?
I bought something online.
I couldn't receive it then.
They only keep it for me until today.
What should I do?
Who knows?
Hello. T. Suzuki Law Firm.
Sure.
I will tell him.
Where from?
From Municipal Central Hospital.
Hospital?
About the check-up.
I was told not to cancel the slot on the day after tomorrow.
We have postponed many times.
- Can't be bothered. - You have to...
...be there at eight in the morning.
Sure.
Well. What shall I do about Mr Sakurai?
Let him know.
Certainly.
(13:06)
Well, where are you?
When you hear this, call me back immediately.
OK?
Don't put me in trouble.
Hello.
Are you going to see my dad today?
Not really. But why?
Well, I would like you to tell something to my dad.
Will you take a note?
OK.
Just a second. Oh, excuse me.
OK.
It's Penguin Delivery.
The receipt number is...
...19931225.
Will you tell him to receive it within today?
Urara. Are you leaving home again?
Ah, well, how can I say...
Was there something with your dad?
Um, well, not really.
Why don't we meet? I can listen to you.
Thank you.
But...
(An interview sheet) "Do you like spicy food?"
- "Neither." - Hello. Come in.
- Hello. - What's up?
Urara called me.
Here.
Receive that today.
So she is not coming home today?
Apparently so.
Where is she?
I don't know.
Really?
Urara sounded she wants you to find out.
Find out?
Where is that?
Bye.
What, hey...
Did you come here for this?
Excuse me.
See you later.
Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer
- Had a very shiny nose - Hello.
- Hi! - Wow, it's Christmas.
Yeah, let's make it fancy!
Sorry!
Hello.
Urara's father.
- Hello. - Hello.
Isn't Urara here?
- She's not here, right? - No.
Is there a Mongolian person?
I used to be one.
You let her stay before.
Yes! But she's not with me today.
You know where she is?
Um...well...
Perhaps...
What?
She can be in Daisuke's room!
I'm home.
- Hello. - Hello.
What's happened?
Apparently, Urara is gone.
Do you know where she is?
- No. - When did you see her last?
I went to the zoo the day before yesterday.
The zoo?
It wasn't a date. We went with Hitomi.
Wasn't she different?
Not really.
What did she say?
She repeated she wanted her dad to be happy.
Ah, but I...
...advised her to think about herself, which she didn't get.
I see.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
Sorry for bothering you.
Ah, sorry.
Did you have an argument?
There were some days when she didn't come home, but...
...unlike those times we had no argument.
OK. I'll look for her too.
Thanks.
If you find anything...
- ...call me on my mobile. - Sure.
Excuse me.
If she is not here...
(Haruka)
This is the voice message service.
After the beep...
Urara.
- Yes? - Your friend is here.
That's cute.
Oh, actually.
Urara, do you know Satomi got married?
With whom?
Takahashi senpai.
Really?
Although she was with Onishi before.
How about you, Urara?
Did you meet someone in Tokyo?
No.
Are there many handsome guys in Tokyo?
Not really.
Tomochan!
Asuka!
Oh, Urara?
- Long time no see! - I know.
Kotohira is such a small place.
- You went to Tokyo. - Yes.
What do you do?
Various things.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
I am a member here.
Are you?
Well, yes. I didn't know that at all.
We have different time schedules.
I called just now.
Urara didn't come yesterday, did she?
I guess.
Do you know where she is?
I don't know when she is off work.
I see.
Ask Shimoyama.
Tell me his number.
Oh, sure.
Hello.
Hi.
Have you got used to it?
Yes. Thank you so much.
She's working for me.
I'd like to save up for a trip.
Ms Okuno introduced me to her.
- Okuno? - Yes.
I did.
Precisely, she is a substitute for Urara.
What a network.
She is mama.
- I'm Okuno. - Hello.
Have I seen you somewhere?
Sorry.
Yes?
Okuno. Come.
Can I ask you something?
Come.
I heard...
... you often go to her bar.
Not really.
You are so close to her.
It's not true.
Shall I start working there?
Stop that.
You can't work for the whole day for Ryota.
Why do you take it seriously?
I'm joking.
By the way...
...where is Urara?
Urara?
I saw at Mr Sakurai's.
Wasn't she different?
Not really.
Um, excuse me.
I just joined the gym.
Can I ask some questions?
Sure.
Bye.
Let's go.
I want to get fit.
There're plenty of things we can work on!
Ah, thank you!
Come here.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Who is that?
Who are you?
Hi, I'm Suzuki.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't know the number.
No worries.
I thought Rei was not there yesterday.
Have you heard anything?
Anything?
Like where she stays.
No, not really.
OK.
(Sayuri Hairdresser)
Well.
Let's start eating.
Well.
Thanks for food!
They look lovely.
What is that reaction?
Your home cooking is really good.
You can cook nice food too.
Dad always say it's good.
Sure.
What is he eating today?
You can call him.
Oh, yes.
No.
He probably eats out with someone.
Nice.
Nothing in here.
What did she buy online?
(Food)
Sounds good.
Good, good.
Dried bonito?
Urara.
What's up?
I need to talk to you.
What?
Sir.
I am sorry.
Stop doing that.
No.
When you're busy...
...I'm sorry for not understanding your intention...
...or realizing why you proposed to pay me until next September.
Sorry for saying I'd like to be your assistant...
...if I fail the exam, as I must have been helpful.
I am very sorry.
In addition...
...you already had an idea for after the exam.
I cannot thank you enough.
Will you...
...decide based on the result of mock exam of Kanto Law School?
If I fall short of the score...
...you can fire me.
Of course, I...
...need no retirement allowance.
It is too good for me.
I see.
Really?
Do your best.
Thank you.
Urara made me awake.
Urara?
Didn't you know?
Urara came to my place the day before yesterday.
He doesn't need an assistant.
He needs you, Sakurai, as a lawyer and a partner.
Do respond dad's expectations.
Please.
(Pass the Exam)
Urara.
Urara. Wake up. Urara.
Oh.
- Wow, it's cold! - Wake up.
- Wake up! - It's cold.
I'm putting the sheets on washing.
It's cold!
- Wake up. - Cold!
There you go.
It's so cold.
Hello. It's Daisuke. Where are you?
None of your business.
- Morning. - Morning.
Is there any update about Urara?
No clue.
Nothing.
Hello. Urara?
What are you doing?
Well...
You left the message. What's up?
I mean, where are you?
It's not your business.
It is.
- Why? - Your dad came here.
What? Did he go to Tamariba?
Urara. I'll be out for a while.
OK.
If my dad came again...
...tell him I am sorry to have bothered him.
Say it yourself.
- Why? - I won't help you.
Daisuke. Was it OK to hang up?
(Dad)
(Calling Dad)
(Missed call from Urara)
This is the voice message service.
After the beep, please leave your message.
Hello.
Call me again.
OK?
- Hello. - Hello.
I bought some taiyaki. Please have some.
Thank you.
Then, thank you very much.
What's up?
I was around for shopping. Sorry to bother you.
See you.
Welcome.
You're welcome to my flat at night too.
- What is that? - You know.
Urara is not here.
You're not nice.
I'm joking.
By the way, I came to know why Urara left the house.
I see.
Urara never can replace Sakurai.
And I don't want her to.
She does know that.
But Urara wants you to feel you need her.
Sir.
Do you need her?
You were enjoying being single.
Whether I need her doesn't matter. I'm her father.
I see what you mean...
...but Urara wasn't comfortable about it.
Do you know where she is?
I think it's Kotohira.
Why don't you go and see her?
I have a trial and a meeting today.
How about tomorrow?
Tomorrow, I have a medical check-up.
In which hospital?
Municipal Central Hospital.
You could cancel it.
Ms Shimizu will be cross.
Hey, do you want to go and see her...
...or not?
Hey.
Why women are so dramatic?
Urara was behind when you said you will go back to Aomori.
That's not an answer.
If she wants to come back...
...she can.
If not...
When her mother was here she was...
...told to come back to Kotohira at the end of the year.
It happened a bit earlier.
Between you and Urara...
...there is a gap of 15 years.
I think Urara...
...of all ages between 4 and 19 year old...
...are trying to fill the gap all together.
That's how she is dealing with you.
But you feel it too much.
Letting her go back to Kotohira means that...
...you make her leave her dad.
Like the archery...
...if you don't keep her close to you...
...she can't make a move.
Really? Are you sure, mum?
I'm planning to cancel...
...getting married to Mr Sasaki.
You love each other.
We do.
Why is that?
We can't have an argument.
Isn't it because...
...you're in good terms?
We're too old to get married just because we love each other.
But somehow...
...I feel I'm too cool about it.
Although I'll give another thought.
Please do.
But Urara...
What?
I thought...
...you'd ask about Mr Sasaki when you were back.
But you didn't.
You're thinking about Tokyo.
Stop talking about dad.
But...
Urara.
Go back to Tokyo.
You need your dad, don't you?
But...
...it's sad to be with someone when you're not needed.
Doesn't dad really need Urara at all?
Because...
(Voice message from Dad)
(Dad)
Urara.
Where are the bags for flammable rubbish?
Urara. I'd like to clean the bath tub. Where's the cleaner?
Urara. The automatic vacuum cleaner disappeared.
Urara.
Have you not caught a cold?
Hello?
Is this Hanako?
I know it is.
Yes.
You sound happy.
Oh, really?
Well, I'm sorry.
I want you to tell something to dad.
The bags for flammable are on the...
Stop it.
I'm not your messenger.
Sorry. But...
Say it yourself to your dad.
Come back to Tokyo.
Are you hoping...
...he may come to see you?
What?
He wants to, if he can.
But he'll be at a trial today and...
...tomorrow at the hospital.
Hospital?
Is he ill or something?
No, it's just a...
Hanako?
He said it was just an ulcer.
It could be...
I'm stuffed.
I'm home.
Good evening.
What's up?
I know where Urara is.
Is it Kotohira?
- Did she get in touch? - No.
How did you know it's Kotohira?
I spoke to her on phone...
...and I heard her mum's voice behind.
I see.
Take a seat.
Thank you.
I feel obliged to you both.
Urara and...
...you, father.
Father?
Oh, well, no.
Takuya Suzuki. No.
Mr Suzuki, sir.
No need to call me "sir".
Sorry.
So I thought I'd go to Kotohira to bring her back.
I bought a ticket too.
A ticket?
To Kotohira.
Do you...
Yes.
I love Urara.
But...
...the person Urara is waiting for...
...isn't me.
It's you, father.
Don't call me father.
OK, we're not talking about it.
So, father!
Please go and...
...see Urara.
Please.
Take this ticket.
Hey.
Sorry, I'll be back.
You'll be back?
Oh, sorry.
Thanks.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
To Haneda Airport.
- The domestic flight. - Certainly.
Oh, it might be Tokyo Station. Just a second.
Why an express coach?
I'd better hurry.
Ah!
Ouch.
Urgh.
It was so far.
(Municipal Central Hospital)
Takuya Suzuki.
Please check again.
I have checked many times. He is not in this hospital.
No way. He could have a cancer.
Well, I'm afraid I can't help.
All right.
I will look for him myself.
Don't run in the hospital.
Sorry.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Urara?
Mr Sakurai.
You here to visit my dad...
...well, no.
Medical check-up.
Thank you for everything about the Bar Exam.
Not at all.
I apologized to him yesterday.
I asked him to decide based on the result...
...of the mock exam in two weeks.
He kindly said yes.
That's great.
What do you mean I'm here to visit him?
Don't you know?
He is admitted to the hospital.
For a cancer.
I think you misunderstood.
He was scheduled to have a medical check-up with me.
He canceled it last night.
He doesn't have a cancer.
No.
Why did he cancel?
I don't know why.
Where is he at all?
I don't know.
Hello.
Are you here?
Thief!
- Thief! Thief! Thief! - Stop. Stop.
Stop!
Not a thief, it's me.
Where's Urara?
In Tokyo.
She got on the bus, so she should have arrived by now.
What?
It will be cold all day today.
Wrap up warm when going out.
That was Hanako's Weather News.
Cut. OK.
Thank you so much.
Hanako, Hanako!
You're here, which probably means you know that I lied.
Exactly.
Isn't that mean?
Sorry.
Didn't you manage to make up with him?
I haven't seen him.
Didn't you go to the hospital?
I did.
He canceled the medical check-up.
Why is that?
Hanako.
Don't you know where he is?
Oh no. If you have plotted...
...do it properly!
You passed each other.
You both felt in the same way...
...so you passed each other.
Thank you so much.
Sorry that I brought nothing.
Take a seat.
You came here only twice...
...asking for permission to get married...
...and attending my mother's funeral.
That's true.
When I came back with Urara...
...you didn't follow me.
A bit of grudge.
Did you come back if I followed?
No, I didn't, but...
I appreciate that...
...you didn't come.
What an irony.
I can't even imagine that...
...we three lived in that apartment.
We would have moved to a bigger place if we were three.
I see.
Hey.
I never imagined to come here for the third time.
We can restart our lives.
It's just one-off.
That's why we always regret.
Sorry.
I don't regret about our marriage.
What I regret is...
...that I told Urara a lie.
That I said to her you were dead.
If I didn't tell a lie...
...she wouldn't go to Tokyo...
...at the age of 19 to see you.
She'd have seen you earlier...
...and disillusioned by you.
I guess so.
Why did you send her to Tokyo again?
She just left by herself.
Really?
Urara...
...wants you to need her.
How about you?
That's why I came.
Well, I'll go.
Hey.
You must be tired.
Let me give you a lift.
- By car? - Yes.
I don't fancy that.
What? I've got a model driver license.
You're a paper driver.
In a way.
Why don't we talk more?
(I will be back shortly)
OK.
I'm home.
Welcome home!
You look fine.
Mum called me.
Why did you use coach?
If you flew, we could see each other yesterday.
I don't know.
Anyway.
Hey.
Did you buy these?
Yes.
I cooked Kotohira's local dish, Oden.
It's delicious.
I ate before my flight.
Oh.
I cooked something else as well.
I'm asking whether you bought it.
Isn't it for professional use?
Wow.
Mixed sushi in Kagawa...
...has boiled red kidney beans.
I had it even before that.
Oh. But I made it, so it must taste better.
Why is this here in my study?
- IT was the only space. - Why, why...
Why is sushi in my study?
Hey, listen.
Takuya welcomes you too!
- Takuya? - Yes.
I named it. Call the name and it will come.
- That's not true. - It is.
I'm so hungry.
Takuya.
It doesn't react.
It's not as smart as that.
Let me get a beer.
Here you are. You must be tired.
Let's eat.
Thanks for food!
Thanks for food.
See? It's really delicious.
I take back...
...the message of the day before.
"Don't put me in trouble."
Can I bother you?
Instead...
...don't make me worry.
OK?
OK.
Right.
But I will visit Kotohira from time to time.
Why?
Didn't you hear from mum?
- About Mr Sasaki. - No.
Maybe a maternity blue.
She said she may not get married.
It's not maternity.
Marriage blue.
That too.
That one only.
But I want...
...both of you to be happy...
- ...so I can leave her. - Sure, sure.
We won't finish this food.
What should we do?
It's all OK.
What did you eat while I was away?
I ate out a variety of things.
I saw a bite mark on my dried bonito.
Was it there?
Don't know.
You bit it.
- Me? - Yes. You did.
No way.
(Municipal Central Hospital)
Why are we here?
No worries. Since we are here.
Thank you for taking us.
Foreigners are welcome too.
It's helpful.
Thanks for the ticket.
Ah, that ticket.
I'm glad she came back.
What's wrong?
Well, because...
Takuya Suzuki, Rei Saeki.
Please come in.
Sorry. My name is pronounced as "Urara".
Sorry for my mistake.
You do correct people.
- What's wrong? - I'm scared.
I'm scared. Oh no.
- It's OK. - I'm scared.
Until X-ray is taken, do not burp.
Sure.
Do not burp.
Nor fart.
- Stop joking. - Sorry.
Roll onto your right.
Right?
Father, can you be quiet?
Oh, sorry.
Can you be quick?
Can you hold the breath?
Quick! Quick!
Please! Be quick.
