"This drama is based on stories or suspicions that happened in real life."
"This is in no way, related to the country or any government bodies."
"However, all these could possibly be happening right in front of you."
Why...
Why did it end up like this?
The world is controlled by money.
Humans are also...controlled by money.
But, at that time,
I believed that such a society can be changed.
With a weapon termed as justice.
That was, until I met her.
It was chocolate bread that ignited my desire.
Such a thing happened when I was 5.
The chocolate bread for the snacks went missing,
and others suspected that I ate them.
But, I insisted that I didn't eat it.
Thereupon, the principal of the kindergarten
said, "I believe you."
"Who's the one suspecting you?"
However, at that time,
I could see my mouth stained with chocolate in the mirror.
Ever since then, I decided not to lie anymore.
I've learned, from the principal, how to trust.
And, that's what I want to teach the children.
What a touching story.
Rejected.
Imprisoned for 2 years for swindling. Currently released on parole.
Tsutsumi Shinko. 37. Unemployed.
If you did anything illegal while out on parole,
you will be brought back to prison.
This includes breaking the traffic rules, vandalism, and even faking information on your resume,
is considered counterfeiting of documents. Please try your best in achieving a new life.
How can I obtain a new life when I have to write them honestly.
This is Yaoshin.
Hello? Who is that?
Berluti, 200,000 Yen. Found a rich one.
You.
Shit...
From Aomori?
Where is that guy now?
He ran away.
I also lost my bag and my wallet.
What can I do from now on...
What skillful acting.
"Be wary of woman who notice your shoes first."
When you saw me, you looked at my shoes first and gave it a price.
You played the pity card in order to gain my sympathy, and con me of my money.
That's basically your plan, right?
How much do you want?
Are you...related to the police?
Trying to cheat me of my money is impossible.
I am actually...
Ahhh... Are you alright? I'll clean it up right away.
No. I'm fine. Rather, it's her I'm...
She passed.
Ken-chan, did you recover from your cold. - Yup.
Placing spring onions in your throat while asleep is effective, right? - Yup.
Wait here.
Here. I'll give you 1 more.
Thank you very much. Bye!
Bye. Night.
Always wearing the same dirty shoes.
You're old enough.
Ouch!
Welcome back.
You came here for that again.
Because of money troubles, you came back. But you couldn't bear to break it.
That's not it. I was just... - Even though Mum said,
"I will never let her into the house again!",
she still airs this room everyday. How foolish.
I'm putting your change of clothes and pajamas here.
Hey. If you need money, why don't you work at my cabaret club?
This is Mizore.
"Garden of Mature Woman" You're still working there?
It's fun. Those who come are not all innocent, but experienced ones.
Time pass by swiftly. Your experiences also increase.
I guess this is called the crossroads of one's life?
Shinko. Yes?
Someone's looking for you.
Did you do something again...
So, why are you here?
If it's your wallet, I already returned it.
That bottle was a high grade wine produced in '92.
What! - What?
A bottle costs 400,000 Yen - 400,000!?
Mister! I have no idea what's going on, but please forgive my sister!
Mizore, what's this? - My sister is ill-natured and has a criminal record,
but she's diligent, and hates those who bully the weak.
Furthermore, she's a very filial daughter.
This...this is the proof to that.
This is the money my sister saved up bit by bit for mum ever since she's a child.
This pig...
Please accept this as our apology! - What are you doing? You can't do that.
BUT, we got to show him our sincerity! - You're annoying. You can't do that.
Please calm down.
I have no intentions to press you for the money.
Would you like to try working under me?
Audit Inspection Agency?
The National Budget is the taxes paid by the citizens with their sweat and blood.
So to speak, it's the money the citizens saved up bit by bit
in a Golden Pig.
However, there are some evil people, who greedily uses them to line their pockets.
This Inspection Agency is a government agency set up to investigate that.
The National Budget is 92 trillion Yen.
I need your help to protect the Golden Pig of the citizens.
What's an Inspection Agency?
Taxes are what the citizens entrust to the country.
Protecting these money, and the citizens is the job of the Audit Inspection Agency.
Grannny. Granny. Let me carry you.
No, it's fine - Doesn't matters. Come on up.
How is the policy's implementation to restrict the elderly from taking a walk coming along, Director?
It's wrong to treat the elderly badly, Oshima-kun.
The budget for elderly welfare is 3 trillion yen.
They are where our money come from.
I mentioned that my company is working on a new construction.
The 25th Nursing Home...
If you're talking about the subsidies, I've already approved 1 billion.
Nursing Home, Aspiration Group Representative. Oshima Chu
This is something your wife wanted.
Please pass this to her as a birthday present from you.
Audit Inspection Agency commonly known as Audit Agency, (AIA for short)
is an Inspection Agency in charge of checking how the taxes are being used.
Our investigation targets includes the Government, Police, and Tax Agency.
Even if someone uses 1 Yen from the tax, they will immediately become our target.
In particular, our Special Investigation Division investigate, not only the government or ministries,
but also investigate matters of high concerns to the citizens.
And this is the Special Investigation Division. (SID for short)
We are divided into 3 units.
You will be placed here, in the 2nd Unit, with me as the Unit adviser.
Understood.
Everyone, listen up. Someone new is joining us today.
He's Kudo Yu-kun, the new Investigation Officer.
Just like me, Kudo-kun also graduated from the Economics faculty in Tokyo University.
He aspires to work in the Inspection Agency after graduation. And has a good prospect.
Please welcome him.
I'm Kudo. Please to meet everyone.
As a public servant, I will work hard and
use the justice hammer to punish the evildoers.
How stiff.
He still doesn't understand what this place is like.
I'm the Unit Chief, Kadomatsu. That way of thinking of yours is important.
But don't overexert yourself. Instead, just proceed forward step by step.
I look forward to working with you.
By the way, what happened to the other newbie?
The other newbie?
I heard it's someone scouted by Inspector Kurume .
Inspector Kurume. Is he the one of commoner birth?
I have no idea if that person is specially employed or what.
But those commoner-born always love setting the first example.
That's why people call him the "Mr. Reincarnation".
I wonder what kind of elite did he sent over.
Your seat is here. - Ok.
Well, no matter what, it's someone who worked in finance before.
No matter who comes, we still have to do our job.
However, being late for the first day is...
Is this the SID?
That's right. - Take this.
This is a gift from my mother. - Who are you?
If this is a delivery, please take it to the kitchen. - Tsutsumi Shinko.
Someone here...That Kuru... Kurukome or Marukome person...
whoever he is. But he's powerful here and asked me to come.
Who's the in-charge? - Kurukome?
Then, this person is?
AHH!
Ah... Ahh!
What's wrong? Why are you shouting?
Nothing...nothing. Just that...
She looked like my fiancee...
her face looks abit like my fiancee's.
Your financee... The one who passed away?
Passed away? - Yes. Actually,
just before his wedding ceremony, his financee contracted a terminal illness and passed away.
That was a terrible time, right?
Yes...
Didn't you showed me her photo once? - What?
And you gave me the photo.
You received it? - Yes.
I passed them to you? - That's right.
This is it. That's her, right?
No. This...ah! - What's wrong?
So sorry. Whenever I think about her,
I...my breathing becomes quick...
Please let me deal with this photo.
Yea, make sense.
Just forget about that and focus all your energy on your job.
That's why I'll be entrusting these 2 newbies to you.
What? - Her attitude, dressing
and work attitude needs some correcting. - Wait a minute.
Her seat is over there.
Adviser, please wait.
I'm Kudo. Nice to meet you, Tsutsumi-san.
Shinko. - What?
Just call me Shinko.
Shin, the kanji is same as the lead in a pencil.
It hurts. What's wrong with you?
Oi, what's this? Why is a swindler like you here?
You... Did you lie to the Inspector too?
Oi! Is that true?
Anyway, return me my money.
My 1,138,250 Yen. Return them all at once!
It's your fault for getting swindled.
So you refused to pay?
Do you even understand how I feel?
Meeting a marriage fraud.
It's so embarrassing that I couldn't tell anyone. I've lost face.
You're really noisy. Blabbering away... And still wearing this old-fashioned necktie.
Shall I choose a new one with you this time?
A necktie that fits you.
Even though I deceived you my feelings to you was true.
Wrong. Absolutely not.
What?
What I did just now was the same trick used previously to swindle you.
You really never learn...
Oh, that's right. This necktie... - I bought it for you.
It suits your short stature.
Anyway, just get out now. I don't want to see your face ever again!
Now that I have a job. How can I leave just like this.
If that's so, I will report all your past doings to the Head of Personnel.
Threadfin Butterfly? What the...
Threadfin Butterfly or White Butterfly. I don't get what you're trying to say.
If you expose me, your shameful past will also be
exposed.
Tsutsumi Shinko
She's a really interesting talent choice.
As one would expect from the Inspector in-charge of change,
Kurume-san, who's personally appointed by the Prime Minister.
Japan is on the verge of bankruptcy now.
However, the Government Officials are still partying on the boat.
That's why we need something to wake them up.
Then, we'll be looking forward to see what you got.
But please don't forget that
we have 3 inspectors here to ensure a fair judgment.
On your own,
you will not be able to change anything.
Yum! This is delicious.
Why don't you guys try some?
Have you heard about the Nursing Home?
Ah, I did.
That Nursing Home was really big on the newspaper.
That's the food of those people who gathered around for the money.
Food?
Even a contractor is able to participate in the management of a Home.
Only one approval is needed, and
and the contractor can obtain a maximum subsidy of 100% from the Government.
Wait a minute. That means the building can be completed without paying a cent of your own?
Ya. - What! That's some easy money.
Who came up with that?
The one with the power to give approval is Social Welfare Department's director, Ikenohata.
Rumors has it that he's in cahoots
with the management, and receive huge bribes from that.
If you know that can't you just call the police on them...
If I can do that I wouldn't call you here.
But I wasn't expecting much anyway.
The ones disadvantaged are the citizens who pay their taxes diligently.
The ones suffering are only the elderly.
You being out on parole is a secret between both of us.
You really have to work hard.
What's this? - This is your weapons.
You will use that to check through all the financial reports here
one by one.
Ok. Start now.
How old-fashioned.
Add this, and...
Ah!
I can't do this.
I can smell the greed here.
Huh?
I just looked through that. There's nothing strange in the income and expenditure statement.
Hey, how do you read this?
Bu..Bu...Bu...Bu...
V...V...Vi...? - Ville Aspiration.
Meaning aspiration district. It's French.
The correct pronunciation is Ville Aspiration.
That's an elite for you.
The pronunciation has nothing to do with the income and expenditure statement.
Wrong. You're absolutely wrong. - Why am I wrong?
Using a name that the inhabitants can't pronounce.
This basically proves that they never gave a thought to the elderly.
That's true. - Don't be stupid.
If you want to investigate, do this, not that.
Absolutely right. There's reports saying that personnels of some Nursing Home
has been using the subsidies for their personal use.
And, Tsutsumi-kun. Before you go out, can't you do something about that your get-up?
Your taste is poor and your fashion sense is...
That mole of yours is really weird.
Mole!? This is a urna. An urna that beams its light on humans.
She has angered the "Buddha Myochin".
Let's go. Yes.
We got found out? - What?
Actually, I gave him a game console that we're not using anymore.
Is that all? - Yes.
I could see him doing his best, so...
Ahh...Granny Sae, you went barefooted again.
You gonna get chilly, so seat down.
Anyway we need to check your accounts and balance sheet.
And a summary of your disposable assets.
There might be some irregularities in them.
Let's go back.
Huh? What are you saying?
I can't smell anything here.
By smell, do you mean suspicions? - Are you stupid?
Stu...Stupid!?
I'm stupid... What? She just said that I'm stupid?
Taking care of their excretory needs is a necessity. These smells from the elderly
can't be removed as and when you like.
Everyday, the room needs to be aired, and they need to be taken care of,
a body wipe, and a haircut.
Unless they do their job earnestly, the smell won't disappear.
Didn't I say that I don't need you guys to come along?
If you create any trouble, that would be bad.
You don't even know the fundamentals and rules of investigation.
Nursing Home. Aspiration, Chofu.
Wa! What an impressive place.
Ville Aspiration is really a district of aspirations.
Ya. Just the entry fee alone cost 20 million Yen. The monthly administration fee cost 150,000 Yen.
This place is just unreachable to us.
I can smell it. - What is it this time?
Those roses...
What do you think the roses in the Versailles Palace exist for?
Isn't it for viewing? - Toilet.
The scent from the beautiful roses
is to cover up the smell coming from the excretions of the nobles.
Is that true? - So what about that?
Which means that, something that's so beautiful is,
without fail, covering up something dirty.
Makes sense. This is certainly different with Hinata House.
I can't any interaction between the elderly and the nurses.
That's a coincidence. Just a coincidence.
So don't agree with her.
But, Tsutsumi-san is really different.
It's Shinko. - Shinko-san
What you notice, and your vast knowledge is...
I know...reminds me of a fortuneteller, or a swindler.
What? - You! What did you just say!
We are investigators of the Inspection Agency!
Calling us by criminal names is really rude!
If you say that one more time...
you will not live to see the sun ever again.
That's just how it is, right?
It's a joke. Just a joke. Don't treat that seriously.
How's it going? Did you obtain any information?
Are those guys, stupid?
That's because you're an outlaw with no fears.
In this world, there's one thing I'm afraid of.
Just wait for my good news about the Home. Bye.
Shinko.
Come here for a while, and sit down.
If you're gonna give me a lecture, that... - Welcome back!
We're celebrating your job placement today. We made your favorite Sukiyaki (eaten with beef)!
Sukiyaki...Isn't that pork?
Don't grumble and just eat.
'cause you don't clean up.
So how was it? Are you continuing your job?
Yup. That was easy. - Great!
There's no job that's fun.
So learn a little from Mizore.
So flirting with guys, and getting their money is called diligence.
Even though you're both getting money from others, but working at the Cabaret Club doesn't harm anyone.
Agree. We give happiness to others. It's a splendid job. Right?
Well, on the day after you worked for 3 months,
I will do a handstand and walk along the street. - Well said!
I said it!
I'm different from someone. I don't lie.
Instead of lying, I prefer being lied to.
Living honestly like that. You'll be at a disadvantage.
Ok. I'm done.
"Mum believes you."
"Who's the one suspecting you?"
What's with "I don't lie".
Morning.
Great...
She's not here.
She said something big and probably don't dare to come.
Woman like her is just timid and only knows how to talk.
Thanks. - If you're talking about Shinko-san, she called just now.
She said she's going to investigate the 24/7 Aspiration Home.
What!?
Doing what she wants again...
Go bring her back.
Bring her back, now!
Understood!
The market price here is 5 million Yen per 3.95 Sq Yards.
Truly luxurious.
Yup. Agreed. We have to return now, or I'll be in trouble.
Even I gonna get scolded.
Why did you choose to work at the agency?
What?
To run errands? Or to carve out a name for yourself?
I came to give happiness to the citizens. And correct the mistakes of the country.
Hmm...what's that. I work there for justice.
Pointless.
Justice is just like raw food. They go bad quick.
For your own good, just throw away that belief.
Let's return for now.
Oh, I found it. - What did you find?
The faking evidence.
There's a branded bike at a Nursing Home.
Isn't that unbelievable?
AIA? What is that?
The Inspection Agency is an agency that investigate how taxes are being used.
Is there really any elderly living here?
Of course.
Then, can we talk to the people living here directly?
That would be a problem.
The inhabitants in this home doesn't wish for others to know that they're living here.
Then, we'll just wait here.
What? Wait...wait...
You can't. You'll look like a debt collector.
Well, basically, we don't have the permission to search.
If you stay here without a permit, you will be accused of trespassing.
By the police.
That can't do.
Didn't I say a stakeout is bad?
It's not conventional...
I don't what's conventional or gout.
If we bother about all these, we wouldn't be able to find anything useful.
Well, that might be true.
Shinko-san. Yes?
It's the police. The police. - Black cat on patrol. What to do...
Black cat? We got to leave...
Ouch.
What is this flutter in my heart.
Why did you? All of a sudden!
What are you saying. Stop your chatter. Quick.
What? - Let's return before this becomes a problem.
Please keep your volume down! You're troubling the neighbors.
Irritating!
Just shut the hell up! You useless old man!
What's wrong with them.
Wait. What's wrong with them.
Wait.
The director?
Yes. Built at the best location in the city
is Aspiration, Aoyama. The person living there is the Social Welfare Department's director, Ikenohata's...
Wait...Let's talk over there.
Living in the Home, is Director Ikenohata's son.
Speaking of the Director... - He's the next powerful after the cabinet ministers.
We also took photos of Ikenohata's wife
who heads there frequently to visit that useless son.
Wait, wait. In other words, the Home built with the taxes
is being used as a normal apartment?
Aspiration formerly deals with land speculation.
In a deal, they can get a 1 billion Yen subsidy from the government with Ikenohata's approval.
In repayment for that, they gave him a penthouse.
If it's true, then it's a big case.
If we can prove it
it will become the agency's greatest achievement ever since it's establishment.
Advisor. Let's use this
to prove that Ikenohata and the Aspirations Group is
involved in personal gains and bribery.
But, he's a director. A director.
That's right. He's a director. We won't be able to investigate him.
No. It's possible. - No, but...
If we accomplish that, won't we be able to carve out a name for ourselves?
And, that mole.
Wasn't it suppose to be a lucky mole,
shining upon the world?
OK!
I will ask for permission to carry out a formal investigation from our head, and
the department in-charge of Social Welfare. I'm going now.
I don't know what will happen.
However, please don't stir up any problems again.
Ok, Let's go raid the Social Welfare Department! - Roger!
Ok...I'm doing it.
I'm finally doing it.
Listen up, everyone!
If you don't do it properly, they're gonna kick you in the butt!
We have to get rid of those corrupted officials in the Social Welfare Department with our own hands.
Adviser. You have a call from Inspector Chacha.
This is Myochin.
I'm really sorry for the trouble.
I've passed down the orders.
So please rest assure.
Chacha-kun. You mentioned before that you wanted to go to the Ministry of Finance.
I will pass that on to the Minister of Finance.
Ah...please put in
some good words for me.
Let's have a good talk while golfing, together with Ashida-kun.
Thank you for your kind words.
In the end, the investigation is stopped.
The Inspection Agency traditionally don't investigate
anything involving huge budgets.
Because a huge budget will affect the core of the country's policy
so a high level of political judgment is required.
It simply means that's not for us to interfere in.
Stopped?
Why is the investigation being stopped?
This was decided after a meeting between Inspectors. Furthermore, that penthouse
was leftovers from the sales of housings for elderly.
It was sold for 5 million Yen to the Director.
Selling to others because of bad sales is not illegal.
No, but 5 million Yen. That costs 10 million... - Anyway, the Social Welfare is a sacred ground.
Anyone who disobeys will have to be punished.
Understand?
Adviser Myochin! - It's pointless to chase him.
Just like what Adviser said, the Social Welfare is sacred. - What do you mean by that?
The reason for the rapid development of Social Welfare is
is because they can bring about many rights.
Without any rights, Social Welfare wouldn't develop.
Is criminal-act necessary? - Things like that happen often.
3 years ago, at the old Japan Defense Agency, there was a 10 billion Yen secret fund.
The Inspection Agency discovered that these funds are being wasted.
Some big shot here, reduced the amount to 80 million Yen
and reported that to the parliament.
10 billion became 80 million? - How's that? Wasn't that generous of him?
Wait a minute.
If they just let that slide pass, then why are we here for?
I guess it's to create an alibi for the authorities?
Your responsibility is to expose any illegal dealings
without a hitch appropriately. Then, you report them to the authorities.
Absolutely right.
We lost. Badly.
Chief. - Just leave him alone.
The person who exposed the problem with the secret funds
was Chief.
What?
Kadomatsu-saan. What?
Kadomatsu-saan.
Please don't create any uproar again.
We just need to pretend that we're doing something.
Kaneda-san. What do they mean by that?
We are simply a Performance Troupe for the citizens.
The Inspection Agency is a government office, a graveyard for those with no career.
Among all, this is a place for the exiled.
The person who desired to join
is only you.
What?
I finally understood why I was called here. - Huh?
I thought you guys was just stupid...
But you guys are really narrow-minded.
I guess I can only rely on myself.
Make way.
"Papa is doing my best at my job today too."
"I've found out those who misused money"
"and finished them off in one go."
Adviser, are you inside?
Yes. - There's trouble. That woman is...
Didn't I say it has nothing to do with you?
The director isn't here. - Isn't he just pretending to be out!
Stop there. - What!
Ah...ouch!
If you knock him down, the police will come. - What are you doing?
By doing this what's gonna happen if the Director know...
Even my future will be destroyed. - So irritating.
I'm just here to have a look at how those baddies look like!
Then, just take a look at the mirror.
Do you think they're someone you can beat by a direct attack?
Be it love or job, you just give up in frustration.
Huh?
How miserable.
Have you ever thought of retaliating?
Don't you regret it? - Of course I do!
But, there's nothing I can do.
Where did your balls go?
Huh?
Because you're a guy without any balls...
that's why you got swindled by a woman!
Oi. Stop there. If you take any steps further,
I can, according to article 78, No. 3. of the National Civil Service Law,
relieve you of your duty for your inappropriate actions.
In other words, you're fired! Get it!
That's just fine.
A stupid job like this...
I'm quitting.
Welcome!
What happened, Shinko-nee? - Give me a bourbon straight.
What? You look pretty scary. - Whatever. Give me 2 glasses.
One more.
You're drinking too much. - Fine. I'll get it myself.
Just quit. Quit, I say! You're drinking too much. - Fine. I'll get it myself.
Just quit. Quit, I say!
In any case, stuffs like that always happen in Government Offices.
That's right. When I was the top hostess in Ginza,
bribery was a natural.
Reforming the society is impossible. - Don't say something so irresponsible.
If you want to drink, pay for it yourself.
Mizore, you really care about your sister. Why?
I'm fine. I can walk on my own. - Shhh!
You gonna wake mum up.
I'm removing your jacket.
I guess that's really impossible. - What?
I'm angry at myself for trying so hard.
Do you remember?
When I was a kid, an abandoned cat that I secretly kept on a empty land
was set on fire by some middle-school Yankees, and got a large burn.
Because I was crying, Shinko-nee, you
went to raid that middle school all alone.
When you fell, you went again the next day.
When you fell again, you went again the next day.
Take this!
To me, you are
You were always brimming with righteousness.
I believe in you.
This is the weapon to protect the National Treasury?
Protect our Golden Pig! - Mizore.
Hey. Where's Mizore?
She went to a bargain. - What?
Why are you here? - What about your job?
Shinko-chan. You're really back.
This time, it's our turn to leave. Isn't that great!
Shige-san is heading to a Nursing Home now.
What?
My wife doesn't recognize me anymore.
Shige-san doesn't wants to go to a Home.
He plans to take care of his wife by himself all the way.
But when my wife saw this pamphlet, she got happy suddenly.
Reminds you of the time searching for a house as a newly wed.
I'm also looking forward to our second honeymoon.
I can now use the 20 million Yen saved up bit by bit resolutely.
Now, I'm officially broke.
Bye. - Ah...wait here.
Shinko-chan. Do take good care of your mother.
Here. Take this.
Wa...
Look, this is your favorite tomato from Shinko-san's.
I'm glad I'm still working.
If the money I earned is used as a subsidy...
If I can be of some help to those elderly...
Then, I can take pride even if I pay high taxes.
Hey...
Yes?
If that money...
is being used to buy fur or gems, what will you do?
Those bastards...
I'll break them into half.
For the bath-house, we just need a big one.
We can use a showering device that can be binded to the body.
Cut down on the manpower!
Good afternoon.
- I can't do this anymore...
My clothes are starting to smell.
You're a board of director too. So just bear with it. Good afternoon.
With this, the investigation on Social Welfare Department will come to an end.
There was once when I was on board the train...
an old man was being harassed by the Yakuza.
But no one was willing to help.
No one even contacted the police. Everyone just watched.
Who do you think is at fault here?
It's all the bystanders.
You over there, who pretended not to hear anything.
And you, who looked away.
I'm talking about you guys.
I've no choice.
There's nothing I can do in a society like this.
But, that is just simply running away from it.
I don't know about the subsidy very well.
But one thing I know is
the ones suffering in the end are the elderly.
And you guys are gonna ignore that?
Well, that's none of my concerns.
But, since you guys are not drawing a cheap salary why can't you fight on, and not run away?
You too.
"Fight on". How can we do that when we don't have to right to investigate.
Those officials and contractors are veterans. They won't leave a trace...
Our target...
isn't the highly guarded Director.
It's his wife.
I will show you how to remove their masks of righteousness.
I'm going to turn the report in.
That...
is stain with tomato.
Kudo, it takes one day to make a report right?
This problem can be easily... - 3 days.
It takes 3 days to write one.
Adviser, please let us investigate.
I didn't come here just to quietly stand by and watch.
Please!
Adviser, please.
I get it. I'll only delay the submission by 3 days.
And that's the limit.
Kaneda. Can you follow the wife around and investigate?
Kudo. You'll be in-charge of Aspiration. - Understood.
I'll show them the guts of this 'Performing Troupe'.
If things didn't go well she will be taking full responsibility for it.
No matter what, she'll be fired! Fired! Understand?
What?
I'm not a ball-less man.
Me too. It's too early for me to run away.
This is your Black Pearl Necklace. - Thank you.
Ehh...Ahh...Wrap this up.
This is it. Please get me the accounts for fixed assets.
Yes.
Dom Perignon Gold...
How much is that? - 800,000 Yen.
800,000 Yen... - Isn't that over priced?
3:40pm.
8:50pm.
Hey. Aren't you from the Hinata House... Why are you here?
Hello. I'm a volunteer here.
I come here to help out twice a week.
I see. So you're a volunteer. That's admirable.
I must work hard too.
Then, do your best. - Got it.
Huh?
So, there's no benefits...
The wife is also a board of director at Aspiration.
But their extravagance spending far exceeds their income.
Have a drink. But their extravagance spending far exceeds their income.
Have a drink.
Thanks. Everyone, drink up... Why are we gathering at a cabaret club!
Our conversations won't leak here. On the contrary, we can even obtain information.
It will leak!
This will all be in vain if we can't submit our evidences to our boss.
Even so, you bluffed your way through...
We are gonna be disgraced if this goes on.
If we can prove the existence of their secret bank account...
A volunteer...
Where would a thief hide their loots?
A safe place, equals to somewhere close to oneself?
Volunteer...
I know...in the bra? - What?
That would simply be a hindrance, not hiding.
Volunteer...
If it's Shinko-nee? - Me?
I will...
Ever since the past, women have been hiding them in the same spot.
Where?
Excuse me... - Quiet. Where's that?
But this is... - Shut up!
Found it. How sly.
Nice shot!
That's Madam for you.
Didn't it fly a bit too far?
If you don't mind we can always buy a new one.
Oh my!
Who are you guys?
Oi! Don't you know the rules?
Investigator Kadomatsu Ichiro, from SID, AIA.
Tsutsumi Shinko from same department.
Kudo Yu... - I wonder what you guys are doing.
Social Welfare Corporation, Aspiration Group...
used the citizen's money to build and manage Nursing Homes.
And they profited greatly.
There's nothing wrong with the subsidy grant legally.
But, what to do if they used
the money exploited to give the Director a kickback?
This is a summary of what your wife bought recently.
Even if these money fell from the sky...
What on earth are you saying?
I've collected my data,
from the place you frequent in Ginza.
Isn't it great that women are creatures who love to show off their wealth.
How stupid. Where's your proof?
That's right. We didn't even leave behind any receipt.
Evidence.
You want evidence...
Can we have a look at your bag?
Ba...bag... Wh...Wha...What the purpose in that?
Wait! Wa...Wait!
Stop that! Ah!
This is the proof of your actions.
Hidden inside this lipstick is your bank account seal.
Ever since the past, the hiding spot for women is fixed.
What!? - What!
I'll sue you for slander.
Wait a minute. This...
Wrong. Absolutely wrong. - Huh?
This is supposed to be fragrance, but I can't smell anything.
Hey...return that back...ah!
Bingo.
This is the seal for your secret account.
Dear...
This is all meaningless if you don't know where the money come from!
Absolutely. But...
we met a young volunteer from Aspiration.
According to him, he was working unpaid.
Whereas, in this Income and expenditure statement that's submitted,
he was given an allowance of 3000 Yen per day.
Hahaha...3000 Yen. You mean we embezzled 3000 Yen?
So that's our kickback? That's nice.
How many days per week does he work?
Twice weekly. - In other words, it's 3000x2 Yen.
6000 Yen!
Then multiply by a month? - 24,000 Yen.
Then multiply by a year? - 288,000 Yen.
Then multiply by 10 volunteers in a home? - 2,888,000 Yen.
Then multiply by 24 Homes? - Ehhh...
69,120,000 Yen.
Then multiply by...Madam has been a board of director for 2 years?
Yes. - Oi!
The sum is...
Total is...
138,240,000 Yen.
Please return them all back to the Golden Pig.
Who do you think you're talking to! - Shut up!
What a scoundrel wearing the mask of righteousness.
The money you stole...
was meant for the elderly to obtain happiness.
It was the taxes paid by everyone with their sweat and blood.
Betraying the citizens. Stealing this little happiness of the elderly.
Bastards like you...
shouldn't be allowed to throw their weight around.
Sorry for making you wait.
Director Ikenohata! - Director, wait!
Director! - Director, say something!
Director! - Please!
I've heard that you're involved in bribery. Is that true?
The prosecutor and Inspection Agency have started to act after receiving the report.
Return our money.
It's only...! It's just a small paltry sum of 100,200 million.
That's nothing compared to the 1,2 trillion Yen I'm in-charge of!
Do you understand!? If I'm arrested, Japan's social welfare...
will stop developing! Do you understand!!
I hereby welcomes you to the AIA once again.
However, I have a friendly advice for you.
"Truth lies at the bottom of a well."
Meaning the truth lies at the bottom of a well.
You took a look inside that well.
However, if you miss your footing,
you will be in a bottomless well, unable to get up.
So please proceed with caution.
"The prosecution of the present bureaucrat is"
"our greatest achievement ever since the AIA was established."
"I've previously kept watch on the dark side of the Social Welfare Department"
"and gave my subordinates a pep talk."
Seems like the government has chase after the Director for the 130 million Yen.
The stolen money got to be returned.
Be it 1 Yen or 1 million Yen.
Don't look away. Look here.
Terrible!
Ikenohata is retiring from office.
According to the retirement law in National Civil Service Law, No.3
the retirement fee of 130 million Yen will be paid for by the National Treasury.
Tsk. That means...
His debt is erased.
I knew it.
What the heck is this.
That retirement fee is the real wastage here!
Interesting.
Huh?
If you guys are cheating together, then I won't lose.
Wait up.
You did well this time. But that's already enough.
Just stay low the next time.
And...
Why did you lie to me 3 years ago?
Your 1 million Yen, I won't be returning...
It's 1,138,250 Yen. Don't round them down as you like!
Stingy.
Wait. - What.
Trampling on people's feelings You marriage scammer!
So loud. I can hear. - I'm gonna repeat it again and again.
Swindler! Criminal! Not listening...!
Criminal?
"Adam Smith once said..."
"Even if all the assets of a winner is stolen"
"they will still have their own assets."
"When they met, she only had 30 Yen"
"But she certainty owns...those assets."
