I believe that Akito-kun's disappearance is the work of someone in the Yagami family.
THE MISSING YOUNGER BROTHER
YOUNGER BROTHER'S WIFE
I just feel like you show a different side of yourself sometimes...
YOUNGER BROTHER'S WIFE
It means there are relationships in that house that you don't know about.
RELATIVES
CRUSHING
EACH
OTHER
Did you try to kill Makio?
This is going to affect our inheritance.
3 BILLION YEN
INHERITANCE
My mother is missing.
We have another missing person.
SHOKO'S DISAPPEARANCE
How long has she been gone?
Two days ago.
Ikeda Animal Clinic Acting Director
Teshima Hakuro
She left a note, walked out, and never saw her again.
A farewell note.
Just like the one with Akito...
I can't get her on the phone,
Shoko and Takashi's Daughter
Hasekura Yurika
and she hasn't responded to my texts. - Have you gone to the police?
My dad...
Maybe she's gone on a trip or something.
Shoko's Husband • Doctor
Hasekura Takashi
I'm worried about her, so I'll call the police.
Yurika, the Yagami family is already having a hard time
with Yasuharu-san right now.
If you do that, you'll cause trouble
to all of your relatives. - But...
It's okay.
So his relationship with the Yagami family is more important than his wife?
My father isn't a member of the Yagami family to begin with.
My mother had always wanted to challenge her relatives for a long time.
I think it was even more so after we took over "Yagami Garden".
Yagami Garden?
You know that grandfather was the chairman of a
medical corporation, and that he had a hospital and all sorts of medical-related businesses, right?
Konosuke-san.
I've barely spoken to that man,
Forner Head of the Yagami Family
Yagami Konosuke
and I only remember him vaguely, though...
One of those business is "Yagami Garden", a nursing home.
When they talked about the inheritance 16 years ago,
my mother took over "Yagami Garden"
Yagami Garden
instead of money and my father took over the business.
So he feel the pressure of the
Yagami family because he took that nursing home?
But my father worked hard and expanded the "Yagami Garden" business on his own.
I have the utmost respect and appreciation for my father.
Yurika-san, you're surprisingly different from everyone
else in the Yagami family.
What is your impression of the Yagami family, Hakuro-san?
If I'm being honest,
they are greedy, heartless, arrogant,
and discriminatory.
They use both front and back faces
and they will never show you what's inside them.
In short, a bunch of assholes.
I see...
He thinks that my mother's disappearance
may have been caused by a family dispute over the inheritance.
I think so, too.
That's why I came to talk to you, Hakuro-san.
Please, will you help me find my mother?
I do feel for you, though.
To be honest, I can't help you with Shoko-san.
Yasuharu's half-sister
Hasekura Shoko
And about her...
I'm sorry, but she's gone.
Eh?
- Wait... - I'm sorry.
I know that Hakuro-san doesn't like me.
It's not that I don't like you...
But I can't help but worry about my mom.
Assistant Director, I have started accepting patients.
Okay...
I'm sorry for bothering you at work.
And...
Please don't talk about this to Kaede-san.
Because Kaede-san could be the one who kidnapped my mother.
You still think like that...
I'm sorry for the terrible thing I did to Kaede-san.
But I can't get in touch with him, and the wedding was too quick.
I still think Kaede-san is suspicious.
Excuse me.
- Are you going to do it again? Looking for someone. - I don't have a choice.
Veterinary Nurse
Kageyama Motomi
I can't just leave her like that.
Are you going to call Kaede-san?
No... Well, that's...
I think Yurika-san was right.
I also think Kaede-san is a bit suspicious.
- Why? - I'm not sure.
- What is that? - But a pretty good one.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Hakuro's younger brother, Akito's wife
Yagami Kaede
Hakuro's Stepfather
Yagami Yasuharu
Hey... What do I do with this?
Ah... Just leave it be.
I'll take care of it.
Ah... But I promised father-in-law that I would take care of him.
Private Nurse
Nagamine Anri
I heard that it was President Hasekura
that asked me to look after Yasuharu-san.
By President Hasekura, are you referring to Uncle Takashi?
Yes...
I used to work at President Hasekura's nursing home.
Since Yasuharu-san became bedridden,
he became our resident.
Yagami Garden
Ah, good morning.
- Ah, excuse me. - I'm sorry.
How's he doing? What's his condition?
Konosuke's Adopted son
Yagami Yuma
Hakuro's aunt • Yasuharu's sister
Yagami Namie
Ah... He's getting weaker day by the day.
He's been asleep for a while now.
Brother, do you hear me? It's me, Namie!
Akito hasn't returned.
So I need some help with the will.
You know you're running out of time, don't you?
If something should happen, it would be chaos,
so I was wondering if you would leave the
Yagami family inheritance to me until Akito returns.
Shoko, Yuma-kun and Sayo-san also agree with her.
Eh!?
- Kimitsu! - Yes.
Yagami Family's Servant
Kimitsu Hikaru
Excuse me.
"Akito. Wait."
But it's a problem.
My brother's so confident that he's still okay and that he can handle it.
He was a hospital director and an excellent doctor to begin with.
He was a very strong man, you see.
He must have a lot to think about.
But I don't know when it's going to happen,
and we should hurry.
I don't need Takashi-san to tell me that.
I'm sorry.
- By the way, where's Shoko-san? - Eh?
Since Namie-san and Shoko-san
have always talked about inheritance,
I thought that she would be here today too.
Ah...She's on a vacation right now.
At a time like this?
Yes... She made a promise to a friend before and couldn't say no.
She's worried about Yasuharu-san.
I'll go today. The hindrance is gone.
But I can't help but worry about my mom.
Hakuro-san!
Ah... How did you know I was coming?
It was perfect timing, I thought it was about time, so I looked outside.
I'm sorry for this morning.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but that's a bit childish.
No... Likewise, that was a bit immature of me.
Let me apologize. I'm sorry.
But I was really happy when I got
your call that you were coming.
Is your work okay?
Ah... I'm not working in the afternoon today.
Where's Takashi-san?
He went to the Yagami residence and went straight to work.
Don't worry, he always comes home late.
- Come in. - I'm sorry for the intrusion.
When I came home last night, I found the note that was left here.
Was the room ransacked
or was there anything missing? - Not really.
- Was it locked? - Yes, they are.
Ah, but the terrace there might be open.
Hmm...
Was Shoko-san in some sort of trouble?
Hmm...
Not that I know of, no.
I see.
So, do you want to check my mother's room?
Eh... You haven't checked it out yet?
Somehow I'm afraid that there's a side of my mother that I didn't know
would be revealed.
So you don't want to do it?
No, It's okay as long as it's with you, Hakuro-san.
It's this way, please.
- So, can I look around? - Please do.
Then I'll go check out the kitchen.
Okay, then.
Hmm... I feel like I'm a burglar.
To Shoko.
Is your husband a good man?
Can you trust your husband?
Your husband is going to kill you.
Could it be that...
Takashi-san did something to Shoko-san...
ECOTV Presents
Dangerous Venus
EPISODE 4
Dangerous Venus
Ah!
- How are you, brother-in-law? - Kaede-san!?
- Shh! She'll hear you. - What are you doing here?
I saw brother-in-law from the outside unintentionally.
"A Mother's Memento"
"Unintentionally", that strange, isn't it?
The front yard was open. Dangerous, isn't it?
You're the one who's dangerous, you're trespassing!
It's a relative's house, so it's
just barely safe to say that
"brother-in-law asked me to come over". - It's not.
But I'm amazed... I thought that brother-in-law's
true love was Kageyama-san, though.
Or is it Yurika-san? - Huh?
It's so cute that you are like a
junior and senior high school student
sneaking in when her parents aren't home.
It's not like that. What are you doing here in the first place?
I'm home.
Welcome home. What's going on? I thought you wouldn't be home by nightfall.
I forgot something. I'll be out again shortly.
Is someone here?
- Eh? - Well, these shoes.
- What do we do? - Brother-in-law, you can no longer run away.
Please take the bait and get me out of here.
Hakuro-kun, why are you here?
I asked him to help us find Mom.
Takashi-san, I apologize for intruding
without your permission. I'm sorry.
You have nothing to do with the Yagami family anymore, right?
I don't want this to happen again.
- You need to leave. - Dad.
Sorry for the intrusion. Please excuse me.
Hakuro-san.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
No, don't worry about it.
I'm the one who decided to come here.
I'm going to wait for my mother a while longer.
Yeah. Well, just make sure you lock up properly.
Especially the terrace. - Ah, yes.
Thank you very much for coming today.
Thanks to you, Hakuro-san, I'm a bit relieved.
It's exactly as Aki-kun said.
What did Akito say?
He said that Hakuro-san is an "Honest person with a good heart."
What's that?
"He hates lying and hates being crooked."
"He doesn't like to play games."
"But my brother is so honest and warm."
"So much so that he's willing to
sacrifice himself to make everyone else happy."
- You're overestimating. - No, That's what I thought, too.
And if I had married Aki-kun...
Hakuro-san, you've become my brother-in-law.
That would have been great...
Were you and Akito that close?
Yes...
That guy...
He's got this look on his face.
Hakuro-san, you still need to make sure of it. Okay.
Whether Kaede-san is his real wife or not.
- I trust Kaede-san. - I'm just asking you this.
"What did Akito say about me?"
If Kaede-san is his real wife,
she would have heard the same words
I just said from Aki-kun.
Your sister-in-law's huge escape mission was a huge success.
Ah, I put another "huge" again, didn't I?
- You know. - Are you hungry?
My treat. My treat. Okay? Okay?
Thank you for this.
If it's true that Uncle Takashi is a bad guy.
Can you trust your husband?
This is from...
They wanted to help Aunt Shoko, don't they?
Your husband is going to kill you.
Or maybe they wanted to scare her.
Anyway, I'm guessing that Takashi-san had
something to do with Shoko-san's disappearance.
Perhaps they are not only connected
to Aunt Shoko, but to Akito-kun's disappearance as well.
Yes...
But...
- I just have one question. - Huh?
Why didn't you tell me about
Aunt Shoko's disappearance right away?
Please be honest with me.
Otherwise, I'm gonna sulk. Relatively long.
It's just that...
Yurika-san didn't want me to tell you.
So that means
that you chose Yurika-san over me, right?
The greatest tag team ever, huh?
I'm telling you the truth now.
That's a bit of a problem for me too.
What is?
You're breaking your promise to me, brother-in-law for Yurika-san.
I won't be able to trust you anymore.
What is this? Come on...
Perhaps, you, brother-in-law have told someone what
you and I have been looking into?
- I didn't tell anyone. - Who is it?
- Including people not from the Yagami family. - Well, that would be...
You completely froze.
Who have you told?
I told Kageyama-kun about it when
we ate udon together.
Hmm...
"Hmm..."?
You used me as a broth to get the
attention of your favorite nurse. - What are you so mad about?
I'm not angry.
More importantly, if you're interested in Kageyama-san, instead of udon,
why don't you go to a more sexy restaurant like
Yuma-san, and ask her out?
I wonder if she'll come...
If it's just dinner, I don't see any reason for her to say no.
- I don't know. - Hmm...
- Brother-in-law, your face is beaming with joy. - What are you talking about?
Ah! That startled me!
Sorry.
- What is she happy about? - So cute...
Eh?
Ah! Kageyama-kun!
What's the matter?
Ah. I'm just here to check on Ramune-chan's condition.
Ah... Thank you.
I just checked, so she's fine...
Oh, I see. Sorry for interrupting.
Isn't now the right time!
Ah, Kageyama-kun...
- I was wondering about the upcoming day-off... - Assistant Director.
So you chose Kaede-san instead of Yurika-san.
Ah... I didn't mean to ignore your advice.
She's my sister-in-law, after all.
- One more thing. - What?
You've got some seaweed on your teeth.
How did it go?
I want to be like Ramune-chan right now, locked up in a cage.
There's definitely hope.
You have my full support from now on.
The greatest tag team is back, huh?
- Let's go check it out first. - What do you want to check?
Uncle Takashi.
Yagami Garden
Uncle Takashi's car is here. He's still here.
- How did you know? - Earlier, I checked the license
plate number at the Hasekura residence.
You're like a spy, aren't you? How could you possibly...
Eh?
- He came out. - Eh?
It'll be trouble if I go in the alleyway, I'll run after him.
- Brother-in-law, you stay in the car. - No, no.
Hold on. In that case, I'll go.
I can't let a woman in pumps run.
That's nice of you to say, but... Are you physically okay?
I'll do my best, but there are limits.
It was totally fine to not run at all.
Are you still alive?
Maybe that house is where Shoko-san went missing.
Yes, maybe Akito-kun, too.
- Akito-kun! - Hey!
Akito-kun! Akito-kun!
Hey!
Brother-in-law!
- Akito... - That's not important, brother-in-law!
Akito... Is he okay?
You're more important to me than Akito-kun!
Ah...
Brother-in-law!? Brother-in-law!
There's no way that's going to happen.
Not really.
Anri-san...
Eh!?
I didn't know those two were in a relationship.
Were you aware of that?
Remember when I checked out other people's shampoos before?
Uncle Takashi's hair smelled just like Anri-san's.
I just thought it was weird.
I see. So that's why you came
to the house to find out.
I'll come back later.
Yeah. When's the next one?
- What's the problem? - The child is innocent.
She had a son with a bereaved husband.
What do you want? That you came all this way.
Sneaking around with your mistress
even though Shoko-san is missing.
We've seen your relationship with Anri-san.
Ah, thanks for your hard work.
Let's talk inside.
Did you talk to someone from Yagami about it?
No one else knows.
Then what about Yurika?
There's no way I could tell her that!
How much do I have to pay you to keep your mouth shut?
You!
A million each?
- Twenty million. - Hey!
Don't fuck with me!
Isn't it cheap?
Compared to having this "Yagami Garden" taken away from you.
What are you talking about?
Aunt Shoko has the rights to "Yagami Garden", right?
Uncle Takashi is just in charge of the business.
I wonder what Aunt Shoko
and the rest of the Yagami family would do if they found out that you were unfaithful.
So you were that kind of person.
I understand. I'll get you your 20 million.
I was just kidding, Uncle Takashi.
I just don't know if I, a wife in the Yagami family,
have the right to keep this a secret.
I'm just lost.
What do you want then?
Please tell me the truth.
Was Aunt Shoko's disappearance
the work of Uncle Takashi?
I had nothing to do with it.
If you'll be honest with me,
I promise I'll keep my mouth shut.
I really don't know anything about Shoko.
You didn't really kill her, did you?
- Brother-in-law!? - Don't be ridiculous!
You were willing to kill her, weren't you?
In Shoko-san's room, there was a medicine to lower her blood pressure
to treat her high blood pressure.
But in Takashi-san's room there was a strong pressure booster to raise her
blood pressure rapidly.
It's highly unlikely he's going to take it out.
Even a veterinarian can tell you that much.
What would happen if you gave that to a person with high blood pressure?
You were going to use it to kill Shoko-san someday, right?
Uncle, there's nothing to hide.
I was going to use it just in case.
What do you mean by " in case"?
In case my wife found out that I've been cheating on her.
She's going to serve me with divorce papers
and demand to give "Yagami Garden" back.
Screw this.
This wasn't a very big business in the Yagami Group
from the beginning.
I've worked very hard to grow that into something bigger than anything I could ever imagine.
And now...
I can't let them find out about it!
But that's just what I thought.
If all you think about is
"I want to kill my wife," that's not a crime.
That's not the point.
I think you know what I mean, Hakuro-kun.
Both Shoko and the people of Yagami
looked down on people and made fun of them.
I've been living in that house all my life being careful.
And that is how I met Anri.
She is a very ordinary warm woman.
It's simple, but the time we spent together in that house
was the only thing that saved me.
This is all I have. I've been completely honest with you.
One more thing.
Do you have any idea why Aunt Shoko might have disappeared?
Did she had a dispute with a member of the Yagami family?
You don't have anything to hide, Uncle Takashi.
The people in the Yagami were always fighting each other,
and among them, Shoko had a grudge against Yuma and Sayo-san.
- Why those two? - That I don't know.
But Shoko said that "she would never
give her inheritance to those two."
I'm sure that Shoko had a dispute with those two, and they took her away.
Maybe she's already been killed.
To be honest, I'm relieved that Shoko is gone.
As long as I can protect this "Yagami Garden", that's all that matters to me.
Akito-kun can take the rest of them.
So don't ever tell them.
If you betray me, you'll regret it.
I promise. I won't tell anyone.
Brother-in-law.
Why didn't you tell me about the medicines?
I wasn't sure yet.
- And besides... - Besides?
Somewhere along the line, I guess I wanted to believe it.
That even a member of the Yagami family
wouldn't think of killing someone.
But... it was stupid of me to believe it.
Those people are the worst after all.
I don't even care about Shoko-san anymore.
Brother-in-law, you don't really like Aunt Shoko?
Yes... Very much.
Did she bullied you
just like Yuma-san did?
It's not me. It's my mother.
When she first came to live with the Yagami family,
Hakuro's Mother
Yagami Teiko
my mother's prized necklace went missing.
I was suspicious of Shoko-san.
I saw Shoko-san opening her jewelry box.
But even when I told my mother, she didn't blame Shoko-san.
And yet... Shoko-san kept harassing my mother.
And me, of course.
I think it's best not to get too caught up in the past.
Yes... You're right.
I don't want anything to do with Shoko-san's case anymore.
- I'm proud of you. - Take care.
- Thank you very much.
Yagami Kaede
- Hello? - Brother-in-law?
I just got a call from Aunt Namie and called an
emergency meeting of the family members.
An emergency meeting?
They're discussing the matter of Uncle Takashi's infidelity.
Well, he's going to get severely criticized.
Did you tell them?
No, I didn't. Looks like it was Yuma-san.
So that guy knew about Takashi-san's infidelity.
I've been invited to join them, and I wonder if brother-in-law can come too?
No. I don't want to get involved in any kind of squabble.
But this might be our chance to track down
the person who kidnapped Aunt Shoko. - I already told you.
I don't care about Shoko-san anymore.
What did mother-in-law tell you?
Eh?
When you said it was your Aunt Shoko who stole the necklace.
What did mother-in-law say to brother-in-law?
Don't suspect them.
The Yagami family is your family.
It's not my family!
Yeah, they're not our family.
- Yet. - Eh?
Hakuro, you know, to be a family,
you need to have the courage, you have to be
brave enough to trust them.
And if you keep on believing in them,
then one day they'll believe you, too.
That's how they become your family.
She said "It takes courage to believe".
You are indeed the man she raised you to be.
Brother-in-law.
"I want you to believe in the Yagami family", isn't that what she's saying?
There may be sincerity and kindness in the Yagami family, too.
And above all, you believe in me.
You believe in me and you accepted me as family.
Let's go together. Be brave.
I think it's more fitting for you to trust them
than to hate or doubt them, brother-in-law.
You shouldn't have done that, Takashi-san.
You have a daughter in the Yagami family, and yet it should not have happened.
Takashi-san, do you have an explanation?
This is truly a betrayal to the Yagami family.
Is it right to leave the management
of "Yagami Garden" in the hands of people who do this?
You've got to be kidding me.
You're a traitor yourself, aren't you?
- What are you talking about? - It's Shoko.
- You kidnapped Shoko, didn't you? - I've never heard of it.
Didn't you say that Shoko-san was traveling?
You and Sayo-san kidnapped her, didn't you?
The whole time you guys have been fighting with Shoko.
Konosuke's Adopted Daughter
Yagami Sayo
We don't see Shoko-san like that in particular.
I'm not sure why Shoko-san would think that way.
Besides, if Shoko-san has disappeared,
then you're the one who's more suspicious
than us, right, Takashi-san?
When Shoko-san found out that you were having an
affair, you argued with her, and you made her disappear.
Doesn't it make more sense to think that way?
I see... So that was your aim.
Putting the blame on me for everything
and ripping me off "Yagami Garden"?
Not a good listener. But well, if Akito-san doesn't return
and Makio-san is unconscious, and Takashi-san now is out of the picture.
Naturally, there are only a few people who can be entrusted
with the management of "Yagami Garden".
What do you think?
What is your decision, Namie-san, who is acting on behalf of the Yagami family?
Money, inheritance...
Is this the only thing on your mind?
What the hell are you doing in front of Yurika-san?
Yurika-san is genuinely concerned about her mother!
If one of the relatives is missing,
you should be more worried about it!
The husband was caught cheating and killed her,
or a relative kidnapped her to claim his inheritance.
I'm so sick of it!
Please try not to think like that, but think more normally!
Maybe Shoko-san was just shocked to find out that her husband
was cheating on her and left the house!
Maybe she was more depressed than jealous or angry.
Maybe she's seriously considering
whether she should rethink
her marriage and start again!
Isn't family supposed to be considerate like that!
I think it's time for you to come out.
- Mom!? - What are you doing here?
You're right, Hakuro-san.
She found out her husband was having an affair and moved back to her parents' house, but that's all.
Mom!
Why!? I was so worried about you.
I'm sorry, Yurika.
Why didn't you tell me? I've been trying to contact you.
I even asked Hakuro-san to help me find you.
Mom!
I was just waiting for your father to find out if he was worried about me.
I thought that maybe I was missing something,
and... if
he still had even the slightest trace of feelings for me.
And he wanted to start over again.
Shoko...
Hakuro-san... if you know anything, could you tell me?
I've been gone for a while now.
What was my husband doing?
Please be honest with me.
I met with Takashi-san yesterday evening as he was leaving "Yagami Garden".
Takashi-san...
was worried about Shoko-san and was desperately looking for her.
♪ back number - Emerald
I believe that Shoko-san is more important to him than anyone else.
I'm sorry.
I will be changing my mind from now on.
Can we start over again?
Yes...
We are witnessing a farce.
What are you going to do about the Hasekura family?
There's nothing to be done.
It's the same as it always has been, no change.
Was that a good idea?
This was a perfect opportunity for you
to get revenge for being bullied so long ago.
I just thought that if I told the truth like that,
I felt like I was going to end up with the Yagami.
Hakuro-san.
Here. I know it's a little late.
I hid them in the basement to harass her.
I knew it was you...
Teiko-san knew that it was me who did it.
Eh?
But Teiko-san thought that if she started talking like that,
Hakuro-san would lose the place where he belonged.
Me?
Teiko-san was always thinking about you, Hakuro-san.
He wanted you to become a member
of the Yagami family more than anyone else.
I'm really
terribly sorry for everything.
It's great, isn't it, that you believed.
You have to be brave enough to trust them.
You still need to make sure of it.
Whether Kaede-san is his real wife or not.
Akito...
What kind of guy did he say I was?
What's this all of a sudden?
Have you heard anything? About me.
He said that you're an "Honest person with a good heart."
"He hates lying and hates being crooked."
"He doesn't like to play games."
Ah, and he also said this...
"My brother is so honest and warm."
"So much so that he's willing to
sacrifice himself to make everyone else happy."
I'm so glad I believed in you.
- Here's a present. - Eh...
I'm giving it to you.
But...
This was your mother's memento, right?
Such an important thing. Are you sure?
Of course it's okay.
You're Akito's wife.
Not good...
I'm a little close to crying.
I thought we could easily
destroy the family if we pushed for a divorce.
I didn't know that Hakuro-san was going to interfere.
A really pure person.
Leave the idiot alone.
The problem is Shoko-san.
Well, she's even more of a wimp than I thought.
Thanks for your help, Anri-san.
I'm so sorry!
I'll submit my resignation tomorrow.
It's fine. We'll let you keep working.
Why?
I need you to stay until we finish with our inheritance.
That's why I stayed married to that asshole of a husband.
Eh...
Yuma and Sayo-san were trying to destroy our house
using the affair as an excuse.
I was desperate to get back together
with my husband, mostly.
I had this stuff ready for you.
You have no choice but to play nice, don't you?
It'd be a shame to get killed.
Besides, what I wanted more than anything else was...
It's you, Anri-san.
I want you to do me a favor.
We can make this whole thing go away.
What do you mean?
Killing Yasuharu-san.
Can you just turn off the oxygen?
But... Kimitsu-san has been watching.
It's okay.
The key to a happy marriage
is mutual respect for each other.
- We'll do it tomorrow night. - Yes.
You can't refuse.
As long as you and him are on my side,
We can't go through with the will
and Yasuharu-san's life
