﻿How dare you break your promise!
﻿I'll kill you!
﻿I'm sorry about what happened.
It's not your fault, Midori.
﻿From now on,
﻿I'll protect you, Midori.
﻿Thank you.
﻿Oh, yes.
﻿Wait here.
﻿Hello, this is Kuwamura.
Oshimoto came to my house.
﻿Are you okay?
﻿Yes.
﻿I'll be right there.
﻿I'm sorry, I've got to rush to an emergency at work.
Oh, and...
﻿thank you for today.
﻿I understand.
﻿So where's Oshimoto now?
﻿I don't know.
﻿After that, he disappeared.
﻿I think we should call the police.
﻿I can't do that.
﻿If you call the police, I'll kill you.
﻿No matter how many times I get caught,
﻿I'll always come back
﻿to kill you.
﻿Am I...
destined to be killed by Oshimoto?
﻿I will...
definitely protect you, Atsuko.
﻿But...
﻿You can stay at my place for now.
﻿I don't think Oshimoto will be able to find this place for now.
﻿Thank you very much.
﻿After all, your case,
is not really over yet.
﻿People who are hunters,
﻿always take the higher ground.
And people who are hunted ﻿
don't know when or where they will be killed.
﻿So they always have to live in fear.
Ibiza Ladies Private Investigation Agency
Investigator?
That bitch!
Kuwamura Midori
Are the hunted...
dominated by fear for their life,
and always unable to defend themselves?
﻿Eggs Benedict
What?
﻿Sorry, it's a failure.
﻿- Let me make a new one. - I'll eat it.
﻿It's delicious. It tastes like real Eggs Benedict.
﻿You're too kind.
﻿I'll make it again tomorrow.
﻿No, that's fine.
﻿B-but....
Tomorrow, I'll make breakfast.
﻿I don't want to trouble you.
﻿Then I'll leave it you.
﻿Let's eat.
Midori.
﻿So you were on the track team when you were a student?
﻿I had very dark skin back then.
﻿I was often mistaken for a boy.
﻿This...
Oh, ﻿I bought it when I was in high school.
Fighting against the sharks to save his giant marlin,
I was deeply impressed with the old fisherman.
﻿"Man is not made to fail."
﻿"A man can be destroyed..."
﻿"but cannot be defeated."
﻿I also like this book very much.
﻿The old fisherman made me realize that I should try to be stronger.
Oh, that's embarassing.
This book has been with me for so long, it's all torn up like this.
This book, will you let me restore it?
﻿Restore?
﻿I just finished restoring a book.
﻿It's amazing!
﻿It looks just like a new book.
﻿It's like I'm seeing myself.
﻿Seeing these tattered books
is like seeing myself.
﻿So I can't help but want to fix them.
﻿My child...
Please take care of it.
Yes.
Please find out more about this photographer named Kuga Kenjiro.
﻿What case?
﻿I can't tell you yet.
Why?
﻿You're planning to win the Chief Award again?
﻿What? You've won the Chief Award?
﻿This is a man with a promising future.
﻿If you're interested, you should make a move now.
Asano, please do your best.
﻿Asano, a moment.
﻿Yes, sir.
﻿I'm so happy that Kuga is photographing me.
You're not beautiful.
What?
﻿Get out of here!
﻿The hell was that?
﻿So mean!
Kuga...
﻿Please wait a moment.
﻿After all...
﻿only Midori can fill my heart.
﻿Am I not allowed to leave the house anytime soon?
﻿Do you have something to do?
﻿I have a dinner date with a friend tomorrow.
﻿But I can't go, right?
﻿I'm going to cancel.
﻿I think it's okay to go out.
Eh?
﻿There's no need to sacrifice your daily happiness.
﻿But, for your safety,
﻿take this with you.
﻿It's pepper spray.
﻿In case Oshimoto attacks you again,
﻿you can spray him with this and run away.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿Midori,
my case is already over.
﻿Why are you still helping me?
﻿I have a friend who had a similar experience as you.
﻿That's why I can't just sit by and watch people like Oshimoto get away with it.
﻿By the way, the friend who asked you to dinner tomorrow...
Eh?
﻿My investigative instincts...
﻿No, my woman's intuition tells me...
﻿No, he's not my boyfriend.
﻿He's a senior colleague at the library.
﻿I see. I thought he was your boyfriend or something by the look of your face.
﻿Kuwamura, shall we have lunch today?
﻿Let the president treat us to French food
﻿I'm sorry, I'm in the field today.
﻿Maybe next time then.
﻿Okay, next time.
Kuwamura Midori.
﻿Yes?
What?
﻿Who are you?
﻿Oh, uhm...
﻿I'm Midori's boyfriend, Kuga.
﻿We had an appointment today.
﻿So you're her boyfriend?
﻿I'm temporarily staying at Midori's house.
﻿I see, she didn't tell me
that she had a friend staying over.
﻿I'll just wait for her inside.
﻿I'm very grateful for Midori's help.
﻿I can't thank her enough for her kindness.
﻿She's not only kind but strong.
﻿I also want to be like her.
﻿I get it.
﻿I've never seen a better woman in my life.
﻿You guys are a loving couple.
Yeah.
﻿I think she's back.
﻿Welcome back.
Welcome.
﻿What are you doing here?
﻿I came to say hello to your friends.
﻿By the way, let me take a picture of you guys together.
﻿I need a group shot for my photo book too.
﻿Please leave.
﻿You don't have to worry about it.
﻿By the way, isn't it time?
﻿-But... - Please, go ahead.
﻿Okay.
﻿Have a safe trip.
﻿I'm off then.
﻿What the hell are you doing here?
﻿I came to apologize to you.
﻿Kuga Kenjiro is the son of a real estate tycoon, Kuga Kentaro.
﻿He died ten years ago and left a large inheritance to Kenjiro.
﻿He went to Italy two or three years ago with that inheritance.
﻿He has been working as a photographer.
﻿He won a photography award in Italy.
﻿I see.
﻿But while he was in Japan, he was always in trouble with the people here.
﻿He was even rejected by the local photography community.
﻿Thank you.
﻿Oh, and...
﻿Five years ago, his girlfriend at the time
﻿reported to the police that she was being stalked by him.
﻿What was the name of that woman?
Kuwamura...
Kuwamura Midori
﻿Although no official charges were filed,
﻿the police issued a strict warning to Kuga.
﻿What I did to you was terrible.
﻿What do you mean?
﻿I cheated on you.
﻿Cheated?
﻿I took nude photographs of other women.
﻿But in the end, I can't do it if it's not you.
﻿Can you forgive me?
Get out of here.
You don't believe me.
﻿Look at this.
﻿You and me...
﻿we share one body.
﻿Please, stop it.
﻿I want nothing else in my life but you.
That's why I don't want you to see other men.
﻿Naturally,
that includes Asano.
Will you promise me?
﻿You'll promise me, right?
﻿Oh, sorry, sorry.
﻿I don't want to scare you.
﻿Only you...
﻿Only one can give me hope.
﻿I can only live because of you.
﻿Let go of me!
﻿I am the only one who can take pictures of your beautiful naked body.
﻿Once you see the photos,
﻿you will definitely accept me.
﻿No!
﻿Then why did you...
﻿go out with me?
﻿At that time,
﻿I didn't see your true colors.
﻿To me,
﻿you are the most
disgusting person in this world!
﻿I was so in love with you.
﻿Why can't you understand that?
A life without you,
﻿would be meaningless
﻿Let's be together once more, in the next life...
﻿After I kill you.
﻿I will join you as well.
﻿Get out! Get out of here now, you bastard!
﻿You called me a bastard?
﻿Yes?
﻿It's me.
﻿I was in the neighborhood and came to see you.
﻿I see.
﻿Can I see you for a moment?
﻿I miss you.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿I'm not feeling well today.
Midori.
﻿Can we talk about this?
﻿Are you in some kind of trouble?
﻿I want to protect you.
﻿Thank you.
﻿But it's not what you think.
﻿Thanks to you, Ryuhei...
that man never showed up again.
﻿All right then
﻿I'll be leaving now.
﻿Thank you. I know that dinner was expensive.
﻿Technically speaking, I took up three hours of your time.
﻿If I was to pay your salary rate, it would have been more than that.
Are you saying my hourly rate is very high?
What?
﻿I'm kidding.
I had a good time. Let's do this again sometime.
﻿If you don't mind, how about next week...
﻿Toyama!!
﻿You ruined everything for me.
﻿So
﻿I will ruin everything for you too.
Come back tomorrow and we will discuss this police case in more detail.
﻿Your senior colleague...
He's now in surgery.
﻿Midori-san.
﻿You should go home.
﻿If you stay around me any further,
you'll get into trouble.
Toyama's situation is all my fault.
﻿No,
﻿I'll stay here with you.
﻿All this...
﻿it's all my fault.
﻿I
should let him kill me.
﻿You're innocent.
﻿Then tell me what should I do?
In then end, you have your own problems with men, don't you?
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿Where are you going?
﻿I'm going to the bathroom.
- Get a stretcher over here. - Yes.
﻿Atsuko!
﻿It's all because...
﻿I'm alive.
﻿There's no choice.
﻿Atsuko!
﻿Why?
﻿Why do we have to keep getting hurt like this?
﻿Why can't we get even the most basic happiness?
﻿Let's be together once more, in the next life...
﻿After I kill you, ﻿I will join you as well.
﻿This never-ending feeling of despair must be stopped.
﻿If they want to continue hunting us.
﻿We will not sit around and wait.
﻿Don't be the hunted,
﻿﻿be the hunter.
Midori.
﻿I'm sorry for earlier.
﻿But please believe me.
﻿I really love you very much.
﻿I know.
﻿Let's...
get back together.
﻿Thank you.
﻿So, can we meet tomorrow night?
Yeah.
