[All About My Siblings] [Episode 3, Sour Secret]
[Sato] It needs no reason.
But if I really have to justify it with reason this is why...
Mass media stirs up the society saying the economy has gotten better.
But the reality is our lives are still very tight as you can see...
the paycheck stays the same despite of the sales tax increase.
Amid the economy...do you know how many jobs are available to an ex-convict?
All I can find is a temporary job that won't last more than 6 months.
So I have to keep looking for a job constantly.
Us who have no qualifications or education would be losers no matter how we live.
That's how this society works. That's why I am...
chasing a Japanese dream that is I will pick up a rich girl and marry her.
No gamble, no life.
- Is that why you don't work, Sato-nii? - Sort of.
Is that why you are picking up girls every night in front of the train station?
- It's refreshing you can justify yourself. - Right?
The food is delicious. Can I have more?
Hey, hey, hey, why are you blended in here?
- I can't? - You can't.
But I went to the Yashiro residence to apologize.
That's not why. On the way home from there...
Nevermind.
Are you not against living with him?
I don't mind.
I've already told him what I wanted to say.
Don't be so serious. Only until this property gets sold anyway.
Huh? What do you mean?
This guy gave the sons of the Yashiro family the land certificate for this house.
He said 'You can take the money.'
- Huh? - Explain it to us.
Well, it was a part of the argument...
Why did you do that?
Giving them the land certificate means this house is for sale, right?
Don't worry. No one wants to buy a house that sits on the edge of shopping street.
Hey Satoru, if you want to live in this house, go find a job now.
According to what we've discussed, I will pay you back after my dream comes true.
That's not how it works.
First of all, aren't you ashamed of living by picking up and marrying a rich woman?
Do you remember what Masae-san said?
Labor is the sign of life.
Even though we are the losers of society we work without complaining.
I don't agree to that.
Being a cog in the wheel of society without complaining
can lead you to lose your identity.
Without a cog, the machine wouldn't move.
This country is supported by those people.
It depends on how you interpret the cog in the wheel.
If you found what you wanted to do in your life...
Although there are small complains like the salary is low or not enough day-offs...
you would never think you are a loser.
The field where you work in is special, Big sis.
You need an license to work in the medical and nursing fields.
I think you chose an important job and I respect that.
- Really? - Wait a minute.
You can't have a significant job without a license? I disagree with that.
You are a blue collar worker. Don't even think to compete with a medical worker.
Don't make a fool of me.
My job requires a special skill too.
Smoothing a road with asphalt in the millimeters is...
is a craftsmanâ€™s work even a college graduate can't do.
Do you feel good when you are on a bumpy road?
No way, huh? It irritates you, right?
But on the best road...
you wouldn't feel anything.
What I want to say is...
in the everyday life that you take for granted...
there are extraordinary labors.
For Asa-nii, it's pretty convincing.
What do you mean 'for Asa-nii?'
Anyway, there is no better or worse in terms of labors.
What you all are saying is an idea that a half-man's.
How can you act so big while hiding your nasty face.
No wonder your mask is so thick since you know the sourness and sweetness of society.
You, what are you trying to say?
If I tell these guys the reason why I left home 10 years ago...
will you be able to say the same thing?
What do you mean?
You work for money.
You would sacrifice anything for money, huh?
Shut your mouth.
- What do you know-- - I don't want to know.
Until you regret what you did 10 years ago, I won't accept you as my big brother.
Then don't come here anymore.
Dad left this house for his children. Of course I'm entitled to live here too.
You have no right to tell me what to do.
- Ouch. - Listen to me.
This is important.
I know. I am going to meet her, right?
I wrote down the procedure, so you'd better be aware of it.
Hey, your mother really doesn't know that you are pregnant?
I told you many times. That's why I'm so worried.
When you bring up the subject of being pregnant, over the top phrases such as...
'the beginning of a new life' are desirable.
I wonder if this would work.
My mom cares about common sense a lot.
I don't think a shotgun wedding would give her a good impression.
Even so, it's her daughter who is getting married...
and I'm sure she wants to see her grandchild...
I bet she will be happy.
I hope so.
Hi.
- Welcome. - Bento of the day.
Certainly, sir.
Oh.
- I knew it was you. - Oh, thank you for your hard work.
Hey, what do you like about him?
If you would like we can go on a date once.
I have something good that young people don't have.
Oh please.
Don't give me such a scary face.
I was kidding. Just kidding.
How is the second son doing? Did he find a job?
Not yet.
He never found a decent job after he quit my company and went to prison, right?
Why don't you put him in a temple or something?
Do you know why he quit your company 10 years ago?
Was it like he couldn't get up early or too much workload?
It was because he found out about my father's incident.
Did you tell him that?
No, I think he overheard the conversation you had with Nishijima-san.
Well, I doubt he would do something to dig up the issue now.
Thank you for waiting.
- Is it ready? - Yes.
It's 430 yen.
- I have exact amount. - Exactly 430 yen.
I'm going.
Ah.
Don't tell me that it was a coincidence. I know you are lying.
Your older brother told me.
'He is at a pachinko game parlor during the day
and at a train station picking up girls at night.'
'You will find him easily since he doesnâ€™t have many places to go.
It makes me more mad because he is right.
Do you want to work at my farm?
I know you were live-in working part time when you lived with my mom.
At this rate, I have to give up the farm field.
If you are going to ask for help you should find a better man.
I will pay you.
Or you don't like farming?
Are you atoning for your mom?
What?
If you reach out to me who is jobless, do you think your mom will be happy?
It's not like that.
I will just take your kind consideration.
Call me when you feel like it.
Hey stop it.
Be quiet. You can leave now.
Ouch.
She wasn't there today. She wasn't--
Do you still have something to complain?
Kind of.
Why are you coming with us?
It's okay, right?
What is this all about?
Just come in.
Please feel sorry for our humble life.
Chairman, please hurry.
- Please hurry. - Please hurry.
At least, to Katsutoshi who can't talk...
why Michiko and I have to leave from another door...
I want to tell him until he can't hear me.
Okay, stop.
- Can you include her? - Huh? What are you talking about?
I'm leaving.
I didn't think you were such a coward.
Follow what's written in the script. That's all.
It's much easier than taking money from men, don't you think?
Don't ever talk to me after this is done.
If that's what you want.
Why are you asking her?
My father disdained and my elder brothers beat me up constantly.
I got kicked out home after I graduated high school...
and went to a college with a scholarship.
Because of the position I'm in now, I can't get the scholarship anymore.
After you went to bed at night...
I worked part-time at the cafeteria to buy milk for this child.
And even for baby clothes...
I couldn't ask anyone and it was very difficult for me.
Please believe nothing but this.
I was born without love.
There is no way that I would give birth to a child without love.
I loved you from bottom of my heart.
I loved you more than anyone in this whole world.
Honey... it's snow.
It started snowing.
Azusa-san and I have been in a relationship for about a year and...
I am hoping to marry her.
Actually... there is a new life living in Azusa-san's belly.
A new life, huh?
You are saying that you impregnanted my daughter before marrying her.
You knew?
I could guess.
I knew you were trying to hide it, but your morning sickness was pretty bad.
I truly feel awful for telling you so late.
To begin with the conclusion...
I can't agree on your marriage in this current situation.
Wait.
I don't know how much this kind of marriage is accepted in this society now.
But I didn't think I raised an irresponsible person who would think...
a pregnancy is something that can't be helped.
I totally understand why you feel that way.
But I will definitely make Azusa-san and our child happy.
What is the reason behind it?
What?
I am asking you what makes you think you will be able to make your family happy?
That's...
I heard you don't have parents.
And you took care of your siblings in place of their parents.
- Your younger brother was in prison until recently.
- Mother.
We are talking something important.
After hearing that, how can I think you can make Azusa happy?
Until I'm convinced that I can entrust my daughter to you...
I can't approve your marriage.
Please leave now.
Mother. What was that?
Why can't you just say yes?
It's part of your responsibility that this happened.
Anyone who is conceived can be a parent.
But no one can be a perfect parent.
Because there is no answer to parenting.
You raise a child while everything is uncertain.
Do you know how hard that it?
You two don't understand that.
It hurt, didn't it?
I wish I could be scolded by someone too.
But I can't because I'm a parent.
I'm crashed into pieces.
Asahi and Satoru?
They had a fight this morning.
It sounded like the reason Sato-nii left home 10 years ago was Asa-nii.
It got ugly all of the sudden.
About your father's incident?
Do you know something?
Love affair exposure.
The doctor is having an affair with a nurse.
It's not even interesting enough to be on the third page.
What are you doing?
Don't say anything unnecessary.
You have nothing to do with our dad's incident.
What is this all about?
Hikari, I don't mind you going out anyone but him.
This man is a scum who would turn back to you without hesitation.
Did something happen with Sato-nii?
It's not something that's interesting to hear.
[Sawatari Road Contruction Company]
Boss, did you need to talk to me?
Yeah, I thought of hiring your little brother again.
What?
I bet he is having a hard time finding a job.
I will forget about him disappearing without a resignation letter.
- Thank you for the thought, but... - Leave it to me.
You are worried because of Takeshi-san's incident, right?
You can go.
Excuse me.
Yes, hello?
Oh, hi.
What? Satoru did?
[Ramen]
Excuse me.
- Hey. - What do you mean 'hey?'
Why did you eat without money?
I didn't mean to. I thought I had ten thousand yen.
It was a coupon for an adult shop.
Hey hey, you are being a nuisance to other customers.
Asahi-chan, I'm sorry to bother you.
- Were you at work? - Please don't be sorry.
We apologize for the trouble.
How much do I owe you?
Um, 1200 yen.
The food here tastes bad like always.
I want you to work with me starting tomorrow.
Huh?
Boss offered me.
- Got it? - Is it some kind of new joke?
If you forget about the money for the ramen, I can laugh for you.
That's dangerous. What was that for?
What is it that you want to do?
You don't work but cause trouble for other people.
You haven't changed at all these 10 years.
I've changed.
You aren't in a position to lecture others.
You really can't forgive about the accident?
Don't think that time will solve it.
Wait.
Regarding Madoka-chan's condition, she is stable right now.
However there is a possibility that she will have disability in the future.
What kind of disability?
It's called periventricular leukomalacia.
This part of the body has nerve fibers that move legs and arms.
It's called white matter.
This is injured and not functioning.
- When that happens-- - She won't be able to move?
This is just a possibility.
Of course there are cases that no paralysis remains.
But no definite treatment for this symptom has been found.
- In order to prevent this-- - That's enough.
Please kill her.
Sir.
Probably we won't be able to take care of her.
It's also better for her.
Madoka-chan is desperately trying hard to survive.
With her small body, her father and mother--
I'm saying this not because I want to, but there is no other choice.
It's impossible to raise a child like her.
I thought you'd be here.
How can he say things like that?
He isn't the exception.
When people see a baby who weighs less than a thousand gram before them...
it's natural for them to get disturbed.
But Madoka-chan is alive.
She looks at me and squeezes my finger back...
She is alive, isn't she?
But he wants us to kill her.
Do you think he's being irresponsible?
But after she leaves the hospital...
her parents will have to keep an eye on her all the time.
The parents could collapse before her from exhaustion.
Even we force parental responsibilities on them...
they will just suffer more.
I don't understand because I've never been a parent.
I'm not sure if I will ever become one.
What does a child mean to a parent?
[There is something I want to tell you all] [about Dad. Please come home - Asahi]
I told you that Dad died 15 years ago in an accident.
Yes, you said there was a mudslide when he was paving a mountain road.
But that was Dad's fault who neglected a construction
to prevent natural disasters, right?
Actually that wasn't what happened.
He couldn't get the money for the construction to prevent natural disasters.
- What do you mean? - The owner of the company scrimped.
In other words, Dad and others were paving the road where a mudslide could happen.
Dad was the supervisor, so he went to negotiate with the owner many times...
but the owner never agreed.
Then it means Dad died because of the company's fault.
But why is only Dad getting blamed?
In order to protect his company, the owner blamed the crime on Dad.
How did you know about that?
Shinjo told you, huh?
But how did you know?
Don't you think it was strange?
He dropped out high school and was hired as a full time employee?
He got the job on condition of accepting the owner's lie.
- It's a lie. It's a lie, isn't it, Asa-nii? - It's not a lie.
That's why I left this house.
I couldn't help it.
It was the only choice I had in order to feed you.
- You stayed at the company that killed Dad? - That's right.
If I didn't have a job with a decent salary...
we all had ended up living on the streets.
If it was a company's fault, you could take it to the court.
- Then we could get compensation. - How about the money to take it to court?
We got paid a tiny bit of money by his life insurance company.
How could I win against a company in court when I was only a high schooler?
- It needs no reasons. - It does need reasons.
Don't you think you could've talked to us about it at least?
- I also think what you did was wrong. - What did you say?
I was a little kid when I was told about Dad's accident.
To be honest, I was embarrassed that Dad lost his life because of his carelessness.
I thought he was lame.
But if people around him thought about him in the same way...
I felt sorry for Dad.
Tadashi is right.
People say the moment of death tells the person's whole life.
Then what was Dad's life whose death was blamed as if it was his fault?
The last moment he took a blame from his friend... it's too miserable.
Then... then what was I supposed to do?
Even we had to starve ourselves, I wish you didn't work for a company that killed Dad.
We were eating our food with that money...
It makes me throw up.
Then throw up everything.
Throw up every bit of food you ate.
I would throw up if I could.
Don't give me that crap. Do you know how I felt--
Stop it. It's embarrassing.
You wanted us to say 'it couldn't be helped,' right?
But this is a crime.
You said you did it for us, but...
You succumbed to the owner at the end.
You are nothing but his accomplice.
Can you still say you did it for the family after hearing this?
Could it be that you are enjoying sacrificing yourself for the family?
If so, what you are doing is a hypocrisy. Tell us.
What did you accept the owner's lie and work at the company...
and earned the money for?
I don't know...
if what I've been doing is a hypocrisy.
I've never thought about it.
I couldn't afford to think like that.
When Dad died, I was more anxious than sad.
I was so scared that I could hardly bear it.
I don't think I made a cool headed decision about the owner's conditions.
I quit high school and worked until night everyday.
I rarely had time to play with my friends.
To be honest, I thought many times,
'why am I the only one who has to go through this?'
It wasn't once or twice I cried and asked for help to Dad's photo...
saying I didn't have to suffer if he was alive.
But if I hang on, Satoru can graduate from high school.
If I work, I can realize Hikari's dream of becoming a nurse.
If I work extended hours, Haru can go to college.
And Tadashi wouldn't have to feel miserable.
When I thought like that...
it's strange but I could hold on the next day.
I didn't do it because I wanted you to appreciate me.
I thought it was my job whom Dad handed over a baton to.
That's just pretty words.
I bet you've never watered a plant.
Huh?
If you care, it responds to you.
You got perfect score on a test.
You made a new friend.
Something small like that could give me the power.
I have no intention of repenting nor apologizing to you.
You could all become independent now
because I earned money at the company.
If you resent it, do it.
But I'm sure...
Dad understands me.
If Asa-nii told us about the owner's conditions 15 years ago...
what do you think would have happened?
What had happened?
Do you think we would sue the company?
Or at the risk of becoming homeless...
do you think we would request for an apology to honor Dad?
I think at the end, we would choose the decision that Asa-nii made.
I feel like Asa-nii knew that.
That's why he chose the way that would only hurt him.
If so, how has he felt to work under the owner for ten years?
- It must have been hard. - You can say that now.
I couldn't forgive them. The owner and him who gave in to him.
Why didn't you sue the company when you found out the truth?
Because you understood Asa-nii's feelings who was working to take care of us.
But Sato-nii couldn't obey the owner.
You escaped from the reality by yourself.
You asked Asa-nii...
if he was enjoying sacrificing himself for the family.
You wanted him to say that was true, didn't you?
If it was true, you wouldn't have to accuse yourself back then.
The road you are taking is endlessly long...
What's going on?
Well... I've been thinking how it feels like to be a parent...
but I don't understand at all.
I just realized that I don't understand either.
Did something happen?
I wonder if what I have been doing was wrong.
No one knows that.
But I believe you did nothing wrong.
Because I fell in love with you now.
How was it? Were you electrified?
I was electrified.
Well, then you will do fine at tomorrowâ€™s revenge match?
Yes. I will come in a suit this time to see her.
Okay. I will be waiting for you.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, bye.
The youngster starts walking again.
I decided to work.
I can't fight with you if I don't know the hardship that you've been through.
Do whatever you want.
Inside the box.
You have to place it properly.
It's all right.
Hey, long time no see.
It has been a while.
Boss, you've been drinking a lot.
Since my wife is away I'm taking a break. A break.
You didn't have to prepare this.
You are hired. Starting tomorrow.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you in advance.
I'm sure Takeshi-san is happy.
Two of his sons are taking over his job.
I hope so.
The accident was really unfortunate.
It was no one's fault.
You are an adult now. You understand that, don't you?
Yes.
Listen, I'm hiring you because I'm your father figure.
In this world, no place would hire a half ass like you as a full timer.
We are going to excuse ourselves now.
Work hard, Criminal.
Criminal?
- Hey, what happened? - It's all right. I'm used to this.
Stupid, don't get used to it.
What are you doing?
Shut up.
You are a worse criminal than he is.
You can say anything to me.
But I can't allow anyone to put down my family.
I have never thought of you as my father figure.
Not even once.
You drove my father to his death.
I've endured you for a long time.
I hate you.
I really hate you.
You are fired.
What?
I said you are fired.
Get out. Don't ever come back.
I'm jobless.
What did you do to me?
Is it my fault?
It's your fault.
If you had beaten him before I did, I didn't have to get fired.
What the heck?
I'm supposed to meet my girlfriend's parents now.
No job on top of a shotgun wedding.
I will definitely be rejected again.
Is the hurdle that high?
Yeah, I have a stomachache just by thinking about it.
I realized after seeing that owner's face 10 years later...
The one that I couldn't forgive wasn't you nor the owner...
it was me.
I was angry at and irritated by you who took all the burden yourself.
I was jealous of you.
Well, I'm going.
What? Go where?
To the house of the girl I picked up.
Do whatever you want.
Asa-nii.
Huh?
You are lame.
Be quiet, Dummy.
What was that?
Did he just call me 'Asa-nii?'
All right.
- Ouch. - Sorry.
You are too loud.
Come in.
I'm coming in.
Did you find grounds?
I kind of lost them rather than finding.
- I actually lost my job today. - Why?
When I realized I was... to the owner...
I'm sorry.
Then you better drop the marriage.
But I can't imagine my life without Azusa-san no matter how hard I tried.
I don't want to give up her and the child in her belly.
I want to make them happy.
I'm sorry. I don't have any grounds.
I'm a junior high graduate. I don't have parents that I can rely on.
I have no savings.
And I just lost my job.
But I will do anything to protect her smile. I promise you that.
Although there is no grounds.
- It's all right. - What?
You don't need grounds.
As long as you want to make her happy even though people are against it.
You mean...
Thank you in advance for taking care of my daughter.
I should thank you in advan--
The way you bow your head is exactly like your younger brother.
What?
He came here not so long ago.
I'm sorry to visit you suddenly.
I came here to ask you about my big brother.
May I ask what it is?
Please approve the marriage of my brother and Azusa-san.
Actually he got fired from his company today.
He did it for me.
I'm sure you know already, but I was in prison.
He started fighting with the owner who made fun of it.
He really didn't think of the consequences. Or should I say he is very passionate.
But he is more reliable than he looks.
He has been working for our family as a father figure since our father died.
I'm sure he had many awful experiences.
But thanks to him, unlike me, my younger sister and brothers turned out great.
I left home right away, so I did some stupid things.
Sometimes I think that...
if I had stayed home with him, my life would have been much better.
That's why I want him...
I want my big brother to be happy.
Thank you for taking care of my big bother.
When he was leaving he said to me,
To all your siblings you are the brother that they are proud of.
You raised your siblings properly.
Excuse me...
Is it all right if I cry?
You weren't wrong.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Oww...
Ouch, ouch.
I drank too much.
The Countdown Hyper...
means I'm late.
That's right. I got fired.
All right. I'll look for a job.
You're too loud! I'm working a night shift today. Be quiet until the evening.
I'm sorry.
If I die, what would you do?
It's too quick that way.
'If I die...' You can say it slowly.
You don't need to go fast. In a feminine way.
Please leave.
If I die...
Hey.
- What is it? - Do you want my resume?
It's a bother to write it again.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.
