You were at a planning meeting.

Fine, I'm in. Sounds like fun.

Thank you.

Listen, as long we're here...

can I hire you for another job?

At your service.

For an additional fee.

You didn't deposit the money?

What is this area known for?

No. Not now.

I can't be in this sacred place

and not stop by.

I'm sick of going to loan sharks for you.

I'll double this and pay my rem...

and buy a glove, too, a Mizuno.

Didn't you buy ii

with the cash I lent you?

Things happened. I spent it.

What about the scroll?

Wasn't it there?

I wish life were that easy.

I told you it was too good to be true.

They're rounding the fourth rum

and coming down the home stretch.

Hold it, Yoshida! Not yet!

- Go now!

- Faster!

Make a move!

Catch 'em, you fool!

And it's Suzuki!

Let's go.

Let's go.

He was supposed to be hot! What the hell!

What a joke. He was pathetic.

Don't be a p*ssy, Yoshida.

You gotta go for it!

- What?

- 10,000 yen.

- No.

- Fine. 5,000.

We agreed before. That was it.

Those bikes don't come with brakes.

Howl can I put on the brakes

when they can't?

You're not making sense.

I'll double it.

The boss will chew you out

if you don't write up that report.

It's bullshit anyway. You do it.

Going for a trifecta.

YAMABE DETECTIVE AGENCY

We had to chase him around in the river

wearing rubber boots.

Right?

We stank for days.

Thank you so much for finding her.

No more running away, okay?

When I hear those clanging bells,

I just feel so alive.

We only have chunky chili oil.

This one might be old.

Stock up on yuzu peppers

like at that ramen shop.

Get it yourself. This isn't a cafeteria.

Manami.

Don't you feel that way

about anything else?

I mean, you're just gambling.

How can it make you feel alive?

You just alienated

all 60 million bike racing fans in Japan.

There aren't that many fans.

Not everybody loves dogs.

Manami, get me a wet towel.

That's an impressive fruit basket.

She doesn't even know

I padded her bill by ten days.

What's going on with your case?

What's going on?

No sign of an affair yet.

And the ex-boyfriend

the husband suspected?

We looked into him, but nothing.

The husband probably imagined it.

He can't even trust his own wife.

I think, every year,

men are becoming less manly.

It's true.

All the stalkers these days are men.

You're right.

But we make a living off guys like that.

We'd better thank the times,

this petty age we live in.

OHTANI REAL ESTATE

Why did my life turn out like this?

THE EMPTY TABLE:

Ryota.

It's me, Machida.

Say it's you before you knock.

You gave me a heart attack.

What did you think I was here lo collect?

Electricity? Your gas bill?
