No, they're due today.
Thanks.
[Wada.]
Be sure to rewind them next time, okay? Hello, Wada.
[Wada.]
Hello.
Hello.
I've never seen anything like this.
Oh, yes.
I agree.
[Wada.]
Oh.
I bet they're going to make sequels of this.
[Kawada.]
Right.
[Muranishi.]
Mm.
So, what brings you here today? Uh Our video is finally hitting the stores today, and we just couldn't sit still and wait.
Right? [stutters.]
He's the store manager.
Ah.
Hi, sir.
How's our product doing? It's on the shelf.
- Really? - Take a look.
Oh, yes, let me see.
- [Toshi.]
Where is it? - Where [Kawada.]
Is it over here? Uh [Wada.]
Hmm? It's not on the top shelf.
Go lower.
- Way lower.
Lower.
- [Toshi.]
Lower.
[Wada.]
Then over to the right.
To the far right.
[Toshi.]
Far right Oh.
THE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT OF SHAME There's only just one copy? Yes.
POSEIDON PICTURES MIKU MINAMI ["You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive playing.]
[all.]
Hey, hey! [all.]
Hey, hey! [DJ.]
The night is still young! [all cheering.]
- [all cheering.]
- [DJ.]
Let's turn it up! Miku, you look amazing as always.
Do you think so? - [woman 1.]
Yes! You're so cute.
- [woman 2.]
So cute.
[woman 1.]
Your Tiffany, it's the one in the magazines, right? I think so.
I think it is.
I want one! It's so cute! - It's so cute! - So cute! [waiter.]
Excuse me, ladies.
Here's a drink.
This one's on me.
No, thank you.
I think you're really cute.
Miku doesn't have time for waiters like you.
[all.]
Right? [woman 1.]
That necklace looks so good on you.
Look at your watch! [Mitamura.]
Here, Junko.
If you please.
[Junko.]
Okay, thanks.
[dreamy music playing on TV.]
[Mitamura.]
Is there anything else I can do? [Rugby.]
Uh, can you throw out the garbage? [Mitamura.]
I'm on it.
When will they start doing the thing? Accentuating the model's beauty in an alluring setting is Poseidon Productions' style.
That is one top-notch actress.
[slurping sounds over TV.]
But the quality of the content is not.
[moaning over TV.]
She's cute, though.
Cute or not, her face is dead.
She might as well be a sex doll.
[moaning.]
[chuckles.]
[disco music playing.]
Hey, am I cute? You're very cute.
[giggles.]
We talked about the big game up in Hokkaido, but in reality, it is hell.
I disagree.
Bark all you want.
But you have to accept that people are buying Ikezawa's stuff.
We're just getting started.
- That's all you say.
- [man 1.]
Good evening.
[Toshi scoffs.]
[sighs.]
Hey.
[Muranishi.]
Oh, hello.
- Good evening.
- [restaurant owner.]
Ah.
Hello, sir.
- A highball and a stew.
- [restaurant owner.]
Sure thing.
[sighs.]
Taking swigs of cheap booze is the best way to clear the mind.
[chuckles.]
So, are you feeling at home in KabukichÅ yet? We're getting there.
You have a talent in business.
Make me rich, all right? It looks like you've already made it, though.
We're just getting started.
- Here you are.
- Thanks.
That's why I'm counting on you.
[glasses clink.]
[Furuya groans.]
What's that? This? Oh.
It's porn.
I can only afford to rent it for a day.
It's such a pity, really.
Oh.
Don't let Ikezawa fuck you over again.
Again? What do you mean by that? What? You're kidding, right? [laughs.]
Fujiwara, these guys are hilariously dense.
[Toshi.]
What? Do you want to know the reason why you guys got pinched? It is all because of Ikezawa.
[tense music.]
- [thuds.]
- [chuckles.]
Ikezawa and Takei are conspiring together.
[chuckles.]
But don't worry.
I'm on your side.
I'll protect you the next time it happens.
[tense music.]
["My Wish" by Taisei Iwasaki plays.]
[woman 1.]
You should watch it.
- [woman 2.]
I was bawling.
- [woman 1.]
It made me cry.
- [woman 2.]
It really made me cry.
- [woman 1.]
Really? [woman 2.]
The last episode Hey, weren't you on The Best Ten? - You're a pop star! - Get away.
- [woman 2.]
Get lost! - [woman 1.]
The last episode was My way's there.
- [woman 3.]
Bye, Miku! - Bye-bye! Bye, girls.
[indistinct chatter.]
[all laughing.]
[crows squawking.]
Good morning, me.
[sniffles.]
- [telephone line ringing.]
- [quivering.]
Hello.
[Miku's mother.]
Is that you, Miku? You promised you'd call last night.
I'm sorry.
[inhales sharply.]
Were you awake? [Miku's mother.]
Of course.
Did you forget we're farmers? You never call anymore.
Are you on your way to work? Yes, I am.
Actually, I'm saving up right now so I can send you on a trip.
[Miku's mother.]
Thank you, honey.
But your thoughtful offer is enough.
Are you okay with money? PAYMENT REMINDER I'm fine.
Our company pays pretty well.
[Miku's mother.]
You ran off to Tokyo, and you never call.
Your father is getting worried.
He says Tokyo is a dangerous place.
It's not dangerous.
I'm fine.
Bye.
I'll talk to you later.
[slurping.]
[Rugby.]
Here you are! [Toshi.]
Nice.
Can you put the pickles on a separate plate? I hate it when flavors mix.
- Does it bug you that much? - Yes, it does! Just a little won't change the taste.
You're really a barbarian, aren't you? I want clear boundaries, okay? Hey, Mitamura, what about you? What do you think? I don't care.
I don't eat much anyway.
See! It's just you who's complaining about this, Junko.
I hate working with a team full of men! Why don't you cook for us if you hate it so much? You're a girl, but you never cook.
What did you just say? That's sexist! The both of you, stop fighting, we're eating That's enough.
[Toshi.]
Just shut up and eat.
What a weird food combination.
It all goes to the same place.
Good job, Rugby.
[Rugby.]
Thank you, sir.
The cook is the one who decides on what to do to the ingredients available.
Eat up before the battle starts.
[Rugby slurps.]
POSEIDON PRODUCTIONS' 3RD YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY [host.]
That will be it for the pre-photo op.
Could the press also step back a bit? Now, a word from the King of Porn, President Ikezawa from Poseidon Productions.
[all cheering, applauding.]
Good evening, everyone.
As we enter our fourth year, we and our actresses will aim to work even harder.
[all.]
Yes! And that is for sure because we work on adult videos that I firmly believe where an order is necessary.
- [man 2.]
That's right! - [man 3.]
Yes! For the industry's continued prosperity [Muranishi.]
Order for whom? Well done, King of Porn.
Great food.
There's lots of meat.
[host.]
Security, please remove this outsider.
I'm not an outsider.
I'm a porn director.
[indistinct chatter.]
Today is an event for invited guests only.
I can't reach my climax when I watch your videos.
It's clear that the girls aren't enjoying it.
Their faces are dead.
Especially you.
Your face is like a robot.
What? [audience clamoring.]
Thank you for your opinion, but I'd rather you not spoil this party.
So, if you don't mind? [chuckles.]
- [security.]
This way, sir.
- I'll show myself out.
[man 4.]
Go home! [man 5.]
Toss him out.
- Hey, you! - [Muranishi mumbles.]
[Muranishi.]
Mm-hm.
Thanks for the food.
[club dance music.]
[crowd cheering.]
[all.]
Hey, hey! [all.]
Hey, hey! Megumi! - Dance with us! Don't be a party-pooper.
- [all.]
Hey, hey! - Come on, let's dance now.
- Come, come! [all.]
Hey, hey! [all.]
Whoo! [all.]
Whoo! [DJ.]
Are you all having fun? It's now time for some slow dancing! [romantic music playing.]
- I'm going to get a drink.
- What? What? Come on! - [secretary.]
Good work.
- [all actresses.]
Thank you.
- [Ikezawa.]
Hey, work hard.
- [all actresses.]
Yes, sir.
- [actress 1.]
Thank you.
- [actress 2.]
Good night.
[sighs.]
[all.]
Good work.
- Off to work? - Yes.
Do you have work? - We're going this way.
- Bye, girls.
Oh, really? Good night.
- Bye.
- See you.
- [Miku.]
Off to work? - Yes, I'm heading over now.
Take care.
- Good night.
- Bye.
[car approaching.]
[brakes screeching.]
- [Miku.]
To Roppongi.
- [driver.]
Okay, ma'am.
- [Muranishi.]
Give me a ride.
- [Miku.]
Wait, what? - What are you doing? - Let's go.
Why are you here? I told you to get out.
Muranishi, adult video director.
Your angry face is more human and beautiful.
Ikezawa turns your face into a sex doll.
What the hell? You ripped me apart on stage.
It was just my honest opinion.
I don't get it.
What? How could such a fine ingredient turn into such a horrible dish? I told you, it's impossible! I can't believe you followed me here.
I want to know if you're interested.
Forget what Ikezawa wants.
Enough of that already! You won't get away with trying to scout me away.
Why don't you choose your own path? Aren't you bored to death from faking everything every day? [Miku.]
Okay, fine.
Let me say something, too.
"Toru Muranishi?" I've never even heard of your name.
Stop acting so highly.
[Muranishi.]
What does Poseidon pay you per film? - [Miku.]
Why should I tell you? - [Muranishi.]
How much? 500,000 yen.
[Muranishi.]
This is how much I value you.
Here's an advance payment.
But Ikezawa There you are again.
Is that all you can say? TORU MURANISHI Visit my office when you're ready.
What about this money? Run off with it, if you want.
[club music playing.]
[Rugby snoring.]
[TV playing in distance.]
[distant ambulance siren wailing.]
[Mitamura.]
I'm back.
[Muranishi.]
Hey.
[Mitamura.]
Good evening.
How was it? Going home for a change.
Everything in my fridge was rotten, and I found some weird spores.
It's been a month, after all.
I see.
I'm glad everything's fine.
Is that for our next shoot? Yes, I found an amazing actress.
Really, who is it? [engine revving.]
[upbeat music.]
[Mitamura.]
Wait, what? [Muranishi.]
Okay, get out and get ready.
[stutters.]
[Mitamura.]
But, sir This is my place.
Do you think we have the money to rent a studio? - [Mitamura.]
Oh, gosh.
- [Muranishi.]
Heave-ho.
- Are you really sure about that? - [Muranishi.]
Just open up.
[Mitamura.]
Why does it have to be my place? Just hurry up.
[grunts.]
Huh? Huh? Who tore my poster? Look over here.
[Rugby.]
Huh? - Look here! - [Rugby.]
What? This part.
It wasn't torn yesterday.
- [Rugby.]
What? - [Mitamura.]
Right here.
- [rips.]
- [Mitamura.]
Hey, what the hell! [Rugby.]
Who cares about that? Don't be fussy.
[mutters.]
Why do you have to be that rude, you meathead! Virgin.
- Virgin? Shut up! - Why? You're such a virgin.
No, I'm the opposite of [Muranishi.]
Stop yapping, you two! Hurry up! - You fools! - [Rugby.]
Okay.
[clatters.]
[indistinct chatter.]
[pants.]
Let's do this one.
Here, get this.
[grunts.]
- I'm getting worried.
- About what? Us using a Poseidon actress without permission? That's what bothers me.
Thank you for accepting to star in our video.
- [Muranishi.]
Mitamura.
- [Mitamura.]
Yes? Are you nervous? [Muranishi.]
Come here.
A little bit.
[Muranishi.]
Put your hand there.
It'll be fine.
Not to brag, but our director suits you better.
You made the right choice.
[Muranishi.]
Wait a second.
- Come on, change positions.
- [Mitamura.]
Sure.
- Here.
Put your arms out, like this.
- [Rugby.]
Oh, okay.
- [chuckles.]
- I think so, too.
[Muranishi.]
Keep moving forward.
We're running out of time.
You have seen her, like, twice before.
And you always thought she was so beautiful.
- See? That's the story.
- [Rugby.]
Okay.
[Muranishi.]
And your wife left you a few years ago.
- You're set.
- Thank you.
Miku, ready to go on set.
- [Muranishi.]
At your places.
- Hi, everyone.
- [Rugby.]
Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Miku.
- Yes.
- You're a lonely widow.
- Okay.
You're mourning for your husband who is a former National Rail worker.
Understand? Your husband's old boss visits.
Two lonely souls meet, and you accept him.
- Okay.
- Does it make sense? - Yes.
- Good.
- Ready? - [both.]
Yes.
Two lonely people madly lust for one another.
That contrast between loneliness and lust is important.
- Roll camera.
- Yes.
- [camera beeps, whirs.]
- [Rugby.]
Rolling.
Okay, let's go.
Ready start! [bell tolling.]
[actor.]
Madam, I have always loved you! [both grunting.]
No, we shouldn't.
My husband might be looking down from heaven.
Madam [panting.]
No, stop! No! Don't worry, he's already gone.
We shouldn't.
- [grunting.]
- [moaning.]
Give me more passion.
[Miku grunts.]
Oh, my god.
- [panting.]
- [grunting.]
Miku, you want it too.
[both moaning.]
- [squeals.]
- [grunting.]
No, step aside.
Straddle him.
- [actor.]
Got it.
- [Miku.]
Okay.
Show more passion.
[both grunting, moaning.]
This feels so good.
- [Miku.]
I'm coming.
- [actor.]
You're amazing.
- [Miku moaning.]
- Cut! Miku, come with me.
[actor groans.]
Are you kidding me? What's wrong? Your acting was a joke.
Don't confuse me with Ikezawa.
I've put my life on the line here.
Give me all you've got.
Do you want to take that off? What? It's keeping you caged.
Why don't you try doing real sex? I can't.
That's a bad idea.
Doing real sex in porn is unheard of.
All the more reason to try it.
Are you suggesting that we actually have sex? Give me a break.
I can't do that.
Why not, you wussy.
I'll get arrested for doing that.
I'll take responsibility.
I can't take this kind of heat.
I'm out.
[Mitamura.]
No, wait Let him go.
- Rugby, get ready.
- [Rugby.]
What? Go get the costume.
- Okay.
- You're taking over.
Get ready.
Yes, sir.
Listen, real sex in porn is the norm overseas.
I'm done filming fake sex.
I won't force you.
Decide for yourself.
[Muranishi.]
Such an idiot actor.
Do push-ups and pump it up! Hey, Megumi.
How did it go with the guy from the disco? [Megumi giggles.]
Hmm.
Nothing happened.
- [Satoko.]
What? - [student 1.]
Really? [Satoko.]
It's about time for you to find a boyfriend.
[student 2.]
Yeah.
Talk about being a late bloomer.
[soft chuckle.]
[Satoko's boyfriend.]
Hey, I know a way.
Do you want me to hook you up? - Hook me up, too! - [Satoko's boyfriend.]
Sure.
What about you two? - [Satoko.]
What? - Tell me.
How's your sex life like? [chuckles.]
Stop, Megumi.
Are you curious? [chuckles.]
[Satoko's boyfriend.]
Well, let me think.
- Don't.
We don't have to share.
- Well.
We have great chemistry.
[all chuckle.]
- [Satoko.]
What are you saying? Stop.
- [Satoko's boyfriend.]
It's the truth.
This is embarrassing.
[Satoko giggles.]
- [student 2.]
It is! - [student 3.]
Why? Who cares? - [student 1 chuckles.]
- [student 3.]
There's no harm in sharing.
[all chuckle.]
Then, maybe Satoko is faking it.
What? Why would she fake it? Right? [Satoko.]
Hm? [student 3.]
Do girls fake it in bed? - [giggles.]
- [student 1.]
What are you talking about? He never really knew his way with girls.
Am I right, Satoko? Hmm Not all girls.
[Satoko laughs.]
What is that, Satoko? Is that true? [groans.]
- Hey, what's wrong? - Don't mind me.
[Satoko's boyfriend.]
It's nothing.
I really think pretending is boring.
[groans.]
[breathes deeply.]
[all chuckle.]
[chuckling continues.]
I'm going back to the classroom.
- Okay.
- [sighs.]
Are you really okay? I'm not interested in half-hearted desires.
[retreating footsteps.]
[Muranishi.]
If you were convincing enough, I wouldn't be asking for real sex.
I see.
Right? You can do better than this.
I agree.
[Junko.]
Sir, real sex is going to be trouble.
I said I'd take responsibility.
I'll pay another one million yen.
For something real.
[tape rasping.]
I'm okay.
Let's do it.
If you would excuse me.
[grunts.]
Madam.
I have always loved you.
[grunts.]
[pants.]
[moans.]
Madam.
[panting.]
[grunts.]
- [moans.]
- [sucking.]
[Rugby exhales sharply, sucks.]
Madam.
I'm honored to have sex with someone as beautiful as you.
Really? - [smooches.]
- [both panting.]
[Miku whimpers.]
[both moaning.]
- [squealing.]
- [grunts.]
[yelps.]
[both grunts.]
[moaning.]
[groans.]
[shrieks.]
[Muranishi.]
Miku? You look absolutely radiant.
[Miku moaning.]
[ululating.]
[Muranishi.]
Rugby, lift her up.
Okay, okay, okay.
- Lift her up.
- [Rugby.]
Lift her up Just stand up! - Stand up? Like this? - [Miku moans.]
- Just like that.
- [Rugby.]
Right.
Now walk around.
- [Miku moans.]
- Move! [moans.]
Madam.
[Rugby.]
Your husband is with us.
- Madam, how is this? - [shrieks.]
- Madam.
- [moans.]
[breathes deeply.]
[cassette tapes clattering.]
Oh yes.
You're feeling it.
[Miku screams.]
The more you feel, the more you think of your husband.
Darling.
[moans.]
[Muranishi.]
Delicious bento for sale! [Miku moans.]
[Muranishi.]
Bento, bento! [Rugby.]
Bento for sale! Bento, bento! - Bento for sale! - [Muranishi.]
That's the way to go! Okay, now go outside! - Go outside! - [Rugby yells.]
[Rugby grunts.]
[pants.]
[Muranishi.]
Go, go, go! - I'm going! - Keep going! [Rugby.]
Miku! - Junko, the hat.
- [Junko.]
Got it.
- [Rugby.]
This is great! - Go, go! Keep going! [panting.]
[screams.]
[both moaning.]
[Muranishi.]
Nice, nice, nice! I need a different angle.
Turn around! Turn around, turn around.
Look excited! [moaning.]
Good! That's nice! Your love is absolutely dazzling! Go! [Rugby.]
Yes, sir! [Muranishi.]
Hello! Bento, bento! - [Muranishi.]
Go! - [indistinct screaming.]
[whines.]
[breathes deeply.]
[moaning.]
I'm I'm coming! I'm coming [both moaning.]
[Rugby grunting.]
Okay! That was fantastic.
[camera clicks, beeps.]
Miku, you were amazing.
This is my place.
Make sure you clean it up.
You should clean your own place.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
[door closes.]
- Hello.
- Hey.
Oh, hello.
- Oh, right.
- [Kawada laughs.]
They're on the shelf.
[Toshi.]
Thanks.
Let's see.
Huh? [Kawada.]
Oh! THE WIDOW IN AN EKIBEN FUCK MIKU MINAMI [Toshi.]
Hey, man, look! This is a one step forward.
[Toshi chuckles.]
We did it.
Your video was different and interesting.
But you know, she's one of Poseidon's actresses.
Are you sure you guys are going to be okay? Mm.
That's good.
Such a refined flavor.
It's an independent branch of a famous restaurant.
Good.
Independent branches are a good system.
They're a barometer for trust.
[chuckles.]
[Ikezawa.]
Now, everyone.
Eat.
All of you.
[all.]
Thank you.
[actress 1.]
This is delicious.
- [actress 2.]
Could you pass me the dish? - [actress 3.]
Sure.
[Ikezawa.]
What's wrong? You're not hungry? I'm sorry.
I'm just very nervous - [actress 4.]
You're nervous? That's cute.
- [all.]
So cute.
She just signed with us last month.
Her name is Shizuka Saeki.
There's no need to be tense.
We're like a family here.
[all.]
He's right.
- [chuckles.]
- [Shizuka.]
Thank you.
- [actress 5.]
She's so adorable.
- So cute.
Let me tell you about an interesting video I saw the other day.
[all.]
Really? Tell us.
[Shizuka.]
What was it like? The couple was engaged in a position I have never seen before.
What do you mean? [Ikezawa.]
And the girl's acting was unrestrained and free.
[Ikezawa chuckles.]
But I was having trouble getting turned on, so I took a closer look.
Turns out the girl was [actress 6.]
Who was it? one of our actresses.
- [thuds.]
- [plate clatters.]
[tense music.]
[snickers.]
Unfortunately that means her life is over.
[chuckles.]
[sobbing.]
Hey.
Stop crying.
It spoils the meal.
[club dance music playing.]
[man 6.]
Coming through.
Hi, let me through.
- [officer 1.]
Could you please stop? - [man 6.]
Hey, come down.
Just stop the music.
Stop the music.
- Stop the music! - [man 7.]
What the hell is this? Hey, we're the police! [man 8.]
Stay where you are.
Miku Minami.
Come with us.
- [woman 1.]
No, wait! - [man 9.]
Stand back, stand back.
Stand back, stand back.
[woman 3.]
Where are you taking her? Shits like you are ruining our country.
[man 10.]
Fuck off.
- [woman 2.]
Miku! - [woman 3.]
Miku! [Takei.]
If you're going to blame someone, blame Muranishi.
We need a guarantor to take you home.
Is your mother okay? Please.
Please don't tell my parents.
Please! I'll do anything.
Just please don't tell them.
[scoffs.]
Hey, didn't we call them already? [officer 2.]
Yes.
It's too late.
We told them everything.
[Takei.]
Yes.
[chuckles.]
Oh, right.
[sighs.]
I forgot to give you this.
[Miku's mother.]
You never call anymore.
[Miku's mother.]
Are you on your way to work? [Miku.]
Yes, I am.
Actually, I'm saving up right now so I can send you on a trip.
[Miku's mother.]
Thank you, honey.
But your thoughtful offer is enough.
Are you okay with money? No way.
[sobbing.]
PORN ACTRESS MIKU MINAMI HAD REAL SEX ON SCREEN [classical music playing.]
[sighs.]
[music stops playing.]
[sighs.]
PORN ACTRESS MIKU MINAMI HAD REAL SEX ON SCREEN TORU MURANISHI [Megumi's mother.]
Megumi? What are you doing? Yes, Mother.
Dinner is ready.
Hurry up and come down.
I'll be right down.
[door closes.]
[Rugby.]
So what happened to Miku? She's back home.
Said she's laying low for a while.
Just when we finally made something that sells.
That's not the issue here! [Junko.]
That's not the issue at all.
That's why I was against it.
Miku I'm responsible, too.
I should've tried harder to stop you.
Hey, man, so about our shoot tomorrow [sighs.]
[Toshi.]
Hm There's no use beating yourself up, man.
We can't stop now.
We have to keep filming, right? [Mitamura.]
He's right.
We have a shoot tomorrow.
[Muranishi.]
I know.
[Kawada.]
We have a situation.
What is it? The actress for our next shoot suddenly canceled on us.
What? Did she go AWOL? No.
Not quite.
[chuckles.]
Just one more.
[grunts.]
- [Furuya.]
Oh, so you're only a tile away.
- [chuckles.]
- Sorry, Furuya.
- [Furuya.]
What? - I'm going to win this one.
- [both chuckle.]
Never let your guard down.
I could be close too.
Consider yourself warned.
You better watch out for Muranishi, too.
He's not even on my radar.
But he got under your skin.
I got rid of an actress who broke the rules.
Oh If you say so.
He can't be underestimated.
He's got vision and balls of steel.
He can be a pain in the ass.
Nonsense.
Even if he does cause a problem, you'll handle him, right? Well, he's on my turf, so he's at my beck and call.
Granted that I get favors in return.
Right, King of Porn? I know.
Ron! - [Ikezawa.]
I win.
- That was a bad move on my part.
It's a big win for me.
Take a look.
Fine, here.
As always, you scratch my back, and I scratch yours.
[chuckles.]
Here, you should try one.
- [Furuya.]
Eh? - [chuckles.]
It's too sweet.
- [Kawada.]
Yes, I see, but - [Mitamura.]
The shoot is tomorrow.
- can you send one actress? - [Kawada.]
Anyone is fine.
No? - But we need someone for tomorrow.
- [Kawada.]
I see.
[groans.]
[Rugby.]
I'll make the fee worth your while.
[Mitamura.]
Junko! - We have a problem.
- What? Tomorrow's actress backed out.
- What? - What did you say? Don't fuck with me! You're not making any sense! You [telephone dings.]
[Kawada.]
Muranishi.
We're being outcasted.
[Toshi.]
We know who's behind this.
[tense music.]
[pen rasps.]
[light switch clicks.]
[Megumi.]
Oh, here you are.
Long time no see.

Thanks.
Are these overdue? [customer.]
No, they're due today.
Thanks.
[Wada.]
Be sure to rewind them next time, okay? Hello, Wada.
[Wada.]
Hello.
Hello.
I've never seen anything like this.
Oh, yes.
I agree.
[Wada.]
Oh.
I bet they're going to make sequels of this.
[Kawada.]
Right.
[Muranishi.]
Mm.
So, what brings you here today? Uh Our video is finally hitting the stores today, and we just couldn't sit still and wait.
Right? [stutters.]
He's the store manager.
Ah.
Hi, sir.
How's our product doing? It's on the shelf.
- Really? - Take a look.
Oh, yes, let me see.
- [Toshi.]
Where is it? - Where [Kawada.]
Is it over here? Uh [Wada.]
Hmm? It's not on the top shelf.
Go lower.
- Way lower.
Lower.
- [Toshi.]
Lower.
[Wada.]
Then over to the right.
To the far right.
[Toshi.]
Far right Oh.

POSEIDON PICTURES MIKU MINAMI ["You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive playing.]
[all.]
Hey, hey! [all.]
Hey, hey! [DJ.]
The night is still young! [all cheering.]
- [all cheering.]
- [DJ.]
Let's turn it up! Miku, you look amazing as always.
Do you think so? - [woman 1.]
Yes! You're so cute.
- [woman 2.]
So cute.
[woman 1.]
Your Tiffany, it's the one in the magazines, right? I think so.
I think it is.
I want one! It's so cute! - It's so cute! - So cute! [waiter.]
Excuse me, ladies.
Here's a drink.
This one's on me.
No, thank you.
I think you're really cute.
Miku doesn't have time for waiters like you.
[all.]
Right? [woman 1.]
That necklace looks so good on you.
Look at your watch! [Mitamura.]
Here, Junko.
If you please.
[Junko.]
Okay, thanks.
[dreamy music playing on TV.]
[Mitamura.]
Is there anything else I can do? [Rugby.]
Uh, can you throw out the garbage? [Mitamura.]
I'm on it.
When will they start doing the thing? Accentuating the model's beauty in an alluring setting is Poseidon Productions' style.
That is one top-notch actress.
[slurping sounds over TV.]
But the quality of the content is not.
[moaning over TV.]
She's cute, though.
Cute or not, her face is dead.
She might as well be a sex doll.
[moaning.]
[chuckles.]
[disco music playing.]
Hey, am I cute? You're very cute.
[giggles.]
We talked about the big game up in Hokkaido, but in reality, it is hell.
I disagree.
Bark all you want.
But you have to accept that people are buying Ikezawa's stuff.
We're just getting started.
- That's all you say.
- [man 1.]
Good evening.
[Toshi scoffs.]
[sighs.]
Hey.
[Muranishi.]
Oh, hello.
- Good evening.
- [restaurant owner.]
Ah.
Hello, sir.
- A highball and a stew.
- [restaurant owner.]
Sure thing.
[sighs.]
Taking swigs of cheap booze is the best way to clear the mind.
[chuckles.]
So, are you feeling at home in KabukichÅ yet? We're getting there.
You have a talent in business.
Make me rich, all right? It looks like you've already made it, though.
We're just getting started.
- Here you are.
- Thanks.
That's why I'm counting on you.
[glasses clink.]
[Furuya groans.]
What's that? This? Oh.
It's porn.
I can only afford to rent it for a day.
It's such a pity, really.
Oh.
Don't let Ikezawa fuck you over again.
Again? What do you mean by that? What? You're kidding, right? [laughs.]
Fujiwara, these guys are hilariously dense.
[Toshi.]
What? Do you want to know the reason why you guys got pinched? It is all because of Ikezawa.
[tense music.]
- [thuds.]
- [chuckles.]
Ikezawa and Takei are conspiring together.
[chuckles.]
But don't worry.
I'm on your side.
I'll protect you the next time it happens.
[tense music.]
["My Wish" by Taisei Iwasaki plays.]
[woman 1.]
You should watch it.
- [woman 2.]
I was bawling.
- [woman 1.]
It made me cry.
- [woman 2.]
It really made me cry.
- [woman 1.]
Really? [woman 2.]
The last episode Hey, weren't you on The Best Ten? - You're a pop star! - Get away.
- [woman 2.]
Get lost! - [woman 1.]
The last episode was My way's there.
- [woman 3.]
Bye, Miku! - Bye-bye! Bye, girls.
[indistinct chatter.]
[all laughing.]
[crows squawking.]
Good morning, me.
[sniffles.]
- [telephone line ringing.]
- [quivering.]
Hello.
[Miku's mother.]
Is that you, Miku? You promised you'd call last night.
I'm sorry.
[inhales sharply.]
Were you awake? [Miku's mother.]
Of course.
Did you forget we're farmers? You never call anymore.
Are you on your way to work? Yes, I am.
Actually, I'm saving up right now so I can send you on a trip.
[Miku's mother.]
Thank you, honey.
But your thoughtful offer is enough.
Are you okay with money? PAYMENT REMINDER I'm fine.
Our company pays pretty well.
[Miku's mother.]
You ran off to Tokyo, and you never call.
Your father is getting worried.
He says Tokyo is a dangerous place.
It's not dangerous.
I'm fine.
Bye.
I'll talk to you later.
[slurping.]
[Rugby.]
Here you are! [Toshi.]
Nice.
Can you put the pickles on a separate plate? I hate it when flavors mix.
- Does it bug you that much? - Yes, it does! Just a little won't change the taste.
You're really a barbarian, aren't you? I want clear boundaries, okay? Hey, Mitamura, what about you? What do you think? I don't care.
I don't eat much anyway.
See! It's just you who's complaining about this, Junko.
I hate working with a team full of men! Why don't you cook for us if you hate it so much? You're a girl, but you never cook.
What did you just say? That's sexist! The both of you, stop fighting, we're eating That's enough.
[Toshi.]
Just shut up and eat.
What a weird food combination.
It all goes to the same place.
Good job, Rugby.
[Rugby.]
Thank you, sir.
The cook is the one who decides on what to do to the ingredients available.
Eat up before the battle starts.
[Rugby slurps.]
POSEIDON PRODUCTIONS' 3RD YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY [host.]
That will be it for the pre-photo op.
Could the press also step back a bit? Now, a word from the King of Porn, President Ikezawa from Poseidon Productions.
[all cheering, applauding.]
Good evening, everyone.
As we enter our fourth year, we and our actresses will aim to work even harder.
[all.]
Yes! And that is for sure because we work on adult videos that I firmly believe where an order is necessary.
- [man 2.]
That's right! - [man 3.]
Yes! For the industry's continued prosperity [Muranishi.]
Order for whom? Well done, King of Porn.
Great food.
There's lots of meat.
[host.]
Security, please remove this outsider.
I'm not an outsider.
I'm a porn director.
[indistinct chatter.]
Today is an event for invited guests only.
I can't reach my climax when I watch your videos.
It's clear that the girls aren't enjoying it.
Their faces are dead.
Especially you.
Your face is like a robot.
What? [audience clamoring.]
Thank you for your opinion, but I'd rather you not spoil this party.
So, if you don't mind? [chuckles.]
- [security.]
This way, sir.
- I'll show myself out.
[man 4.]
Go home! [man 5.]
Toss him out.
- Hey, you! - [Muranishi mumbles.]
[Muranishi.]
Mm-hm.
Thanks for the food.
[club dance music.]
[crowd cheering.]
[all.]
Hey, hey! [all.]
Hey, hey! Megumi! - Dance with us! Don't be a party-pooper.
- [all.]
Hey, hey! - Come on, let's dance now.
- Come, come! [all.]
Hey, hey! [all.]
Whoo! [all.]
Whoo! [DJ.]
Are you all having fun? It's now time for some slow dancing! [romantic music playing.]
- I'm going to get a drink.
- What? What? Come on! - [secretary.]
Good work.
- [all actresses.]
Thank you.
- [Ikezawa.]
Hey, work hard.
- [all actresses.]
Yes, sir.
- [actress 1.]
Thank you.
- [actress 2.]
Good night.
[sighs.]
[all.]
Good work.
- Off to work? - Yes.
Do you have work? - We're going this way.
- Bye, girls.
Oh, really? Good night.
- Bye.
- See you.
- [Miku.]
Off to work? - Yes, I'm heading over now.
Take care.
- Good night.
- Bye.
[car approaching.]
[brakes screeching.]
- [Miku.]
To Roppongi.
- [driver.]
Okay, ma'am.
- [Muranishi.]
Give me a ride.
- [Miku.]
Wait, what? - What are you doing? - Let's go.
Why are you here? I told you to get out.
Muranishi, adult video director.
Your angry face is more human and beautiful.
Ikezawa turns your face into a sex doll.
What the hell? You ripped me apart on stage.
It was just my honest opinion.
I don't get it.
What? How could such a fine ingredient turn into such a horrible dish? I told you, it's impossible! I can't believe you followed me here.
I want to know if you're interested.
Forget what Ikezawa wants.
Enough of that already! You won't get away with trying to scout me away.
Why don't you choose your own path? Aren't you bored to death from faking everything every day? [Miku.]
Okay, fine.
Let me say something, too.
"Toru Muranishi?" I've never even heard of your name.
Stop acting so highly.
[Muranishi.]
What does Poseidon pay you per film? - [Miku.]
Why should I tell you? - [Muranishi.]
How much? 500,000 yen.
[Muranishi.]
This is how much I value you.
Here's an advance payment.
But Ikezawa There you are again.
Is that all you can say? TORU MURANISHI Visit my office when you're ready.
What about this money? Run off with it, if you want.
[club music playing.]
[Rugby snoring.]
[TV playing in distance.]
[distant ambulance siren wailing.]
[Mitamura.]
I'm back.
[Muranishi.]
Hey.
[Mitamura.]
Good evening.
How was it? Going home for a change.
Everything in my fridge was rotten, and I found some weird spores.
It's been a month, after all.
I see.
I'm glad everything's fine.
Is that for our next shoot? Yes, I found an amazing actress.
Really, who is it? [engine revving.]
[upbeat music.]
[Mitamura.]
Wait, what? [Muranishi.]
Okay, get out and get ready.
[stutters.]
[Mitamura.]
But, sir This is my place.
Do you think we have the money to rent a studio? - [Mitamura.]
Oh, gosh.
- [Muranishi.]
Heave-ho.
- Are you really sure about that? - [Muranishi.]
Just open up.
[Mitamura.]
Why does it have to be my place? Just hurry up.
[grunts.]
Huh? Huh? Who tore my poster? Look over here.
[Rugby.]
Huh? - Look here! - [Rugby.]
What? This part.
It wasn't torn yesterday.
- [Rugby.]
What? - [Mitamura.]
Right here.
- [rips.]
- [Mitamura.]
Hey, what the hell! [Rugby.]
Who cares about that? Don't be fussy.
[mutters.]
Why do you have to be that rude, you meathead! Virgin.
- Virgin? Shut up! - Why? You're such a virgin.
No, I'm the opposite of [Muranishi.]
Stop yapping, you two! Hurry up! - You fools! - [Rugby.]
Okay.
[clatters.]
[indistinct chatter.]
[pants.]
Let's do this one.
Here, get this.
[grunts.]
- I'm getting worried.
- About what? Us using a Poseidon actress without permission? That's what bothers me.
Thank you for accepting to star in our video.
- [Muranishi.]
Mitamura.
- [Mitamura.]
Yes? Are you nervous? [Muranishi.]
Come here.
A little bit.
[Muranishi.]
Put your hand there.
It'll be fine.
Not to brag, but our director suits you better.
You made the right choice.
[Muranishi.]
Wait a second.
- Come on, change positions.
- [Mitamura.]
Sure.
- Here.
Put your arms out, like this.
- [Rugby.]
Oh, okay.
- [chuckles.]
- I think so, too.
[Muranishi.]
Keep moving forward.
We're running out of time.
You have seen her, like, twice before.
And you always thought she was so beautiful.
- See? That's the story.
- [Rugby.]
Okay.
[Muranishi.]
And your wife left you a few years ago.
- You're set.
- Thank you.
Miku, ready to go on set.
- [Muranishi.]
At your places.
- Hi, everyone.
- [Rugby.]
Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Miku.
- Yes.
- You're a lonely widow.
- Okay.
You're mourning for your husband who is a former National Rail worker.
Understand? Your husband's old boss visits.
Two lonely souls meet, and you accept him.
- Okay.
- Does it make sense? - Yes.
- Good.
- Ready? - [both.]
Yes.
Two lonely people madly lust for one another.
That contrast between loneliness and lust is important.
- Roll camera.
- Yes.
- [camera beeps, whirs.]
- [Rugby.]
Rolling.
Okay, let's go.
Ready start! [bell tolling.]
[actor.]
Madam, I have always loved you! [both grunting.]
No, we shouldn't.
My husband might be looking down from heaven.
Madam [panting.]
No, stop! No! Don't worry, he's already gone.
We shouldn't.
- [grunting.]
- [moaning.]
Give me more passion.
[Miku grunts.]
Oh, my god.
- [panting.]
- [grunting.]
Miku, you want it too.
[both moaning.]
- [squeals.]
- [grunting.]
No, step aside.
Straddle him.
- [actor.]
Got it.
- [Miku.]
Okay.
Show more passion.
[both grunting, moaning.]
This feels so good.
- [Miku.]
I'm coming.
- [actor.]
You're amazing.
- [Miku moaning.]
- Cut! Miku, come with me.
[actor groans.]
Are you kidding me? What's wrong? Your acting was a joke.
Don't confuse me with Ikezawa.
I've put my life on the line here.
Give me all you've got.
Do you want to take that off? What? It's keeping you caged.
Why don't you try doing real sex? I can't.
That's a bad idea.
Doing real sex in porn is unheard of.
All the more reason to try it.
Are you suggesting that we actually have sex? Give me a break.
I can't do that.
Why not, you wussy.
I'll get arrested for doing that.
I'll take responsibility.
I can't take this kind of heat.
I'm out.
[Mitamura.]
No, wait Let him go.
- Rugby, get ready.
- [Rugby.]
What? Go get the costume.
- Okay.
- You're taking over.
Get ready.
Yes, sir.
Listen, real sex in porn is the norm overseas.
I'm done filming fake sex.
I won't force you.
Decide for yourself.
[Muranishi.]
Such an idiot actor.
Do push-ups and pump it up! Hey, Megumi.
How did it go with the guy from the disco? [Megumi giggles.]
Hmm.
Nothing happened.
- [Satoko.]
What? - [student 1.]
Really? [Satoko.]
It's about time for you to find a boyfriend.
[student 2.]
Yeah.
Talk about being a late bloomer.
[soft chuckle.]
[Satoko's boyfriend.]
Hey, I know a way.
Do you want me to hook you up? - Hook me up, too! - [Satoko's boyfriend.]
Sure.
What about you two? - [Satoko.]
What? - Tell me.
How's your sex life like? [chuckles.]
Stop, Megumi.
Are you curious? [chuckles.]
[Satoko's boyfriend.]
Well, let me think.
- Don't.
We don't have to share.
- Well.
We have great chemistry.
[all chuckle.]
- [Satoko.]
What are you saying? Stop.
- [Satoko's boyfriend.]
It's the truth.
This is embarrassing.
[Satoko giggles.]
- [student 2.]
It is! - [student 3.]
Why? Who cares? - [student 1 chuckles.]
- [student 3.]
There's no harm in sharing.
[all chuckle.]
Then, maybe Satoko is faking it.
What? Why would she fake it? Right? [Satoko.]
Hm? [student 3.]
Do girls fake it in bed? - [giggles.]
- [student 1.]
What are you talking about? He never really knew his way with girls.
Am I right, Satoko? Hmm Not all girls.
[Satoko laughs.]
What is that, Satoko? Is that true? [groans.]
- Hey, what's wrong? - Don't mind me.
[Satoko's boyfriend.]
It's nothing.
I really think pretending is boring.
[groans.]
[breathes deeply.]
[all chuckle.]
[chuckling continues.]
I'm going back to the classroom.
- Okay.
- [sighs.]
Are you really okay? I'm not interested in half-hearted desires.
[retreating footsteps.]
[Muranishi.]
If you were convincing enough, I wouldn't be asking for real sex.
I see.
Right? You can do better than this.
I agree.
[Junko.]
Sir, real sex is going to be trouble.
I said I'd take responsibility.
I'll pay another one million yen.
For something real.
[tape rasping.]
I'm okay.
Let's do it.
If you would excuse me.
[grunts.]
Madam.
I have always loved you.
[grunts.]
[pants.]
[moans.]
Madam.
[panting.]
[grunts.]
- [moans.]
- [sucking.]
[Rugby exhales sharply, sucks.]
Madam.
I'm honored to have sex with someone as beautiful as you.
Really? - [smooches.]
- [both panting.]
[Miku whimpers.]
[both moaning.]
- [squealing.]
- [grunts.]
[yelps.]
[both grunts.]
[moaning.]
[groans.]
[shrieks.]
[Muranishi.]
Miku? You look absolutely radiant.
[Miku moaning.]
[ululating.]
[Muranishi.]
Rugby, lift her up.
Okay, okay, okay.
- Lift her up.
- [Rugby.]
Lift her up Just stand up! - Stand up? Like this? - [Miku moans.]
- Just like that.
- [Rugby.]
Right.
Now walk around.
- [Miku moans.]
- Move! [moans.]
Madam.
[Rugby.]
Your husband is with us.
- Madam, how is this? - [shrieks.]
- Madam.
- [moans.]
[breathes deeply.]
[cassette tapes clattering.]
Oh yes.
You're feeling it.
[Miku screams.]
The more you feel, the more you think of your husband.
Darling.
[moans.]
[Muranishi.]
Delicious bento for sale! [Miku moans.]
[Muranishi.]
Bento, bento! [Rugby.]
Bento for sale! Bento, bento! - Bento for sale! - [Muranishi.]
That's the way to go! Okay, now go outside! - Go outside! - [Rugby yells.]
[Rugby grunts.]
[pants.]
[Muranishi.]
Go, go, go! - I'm going! - Keep going! [Rugby.]
Miku! - Junko, the hat.
- [Junko.]
Got it.
- [Rugby.]
This is great! - Go, go! Keep going! [panting.]
[screams.]
[both moaning.]
[Muranishi.]
Nice, nice, nice! I need a different angle.
Turn around! Turn around, turn around.
Look excited! [moaning.]
Good! That's nice! Your love is absolutely dazzling! Go! [Rugby.]
Yes, sir! [Muranishi.]
Hello! Bento, bento! - [Muranishi.]
Go! - [indistinct screaming.]
[whines.]
[breathes deeply.]
[moaning.]
I'm I'm coming! I'm coming [both moaning.]
[Rugby grunting.]
Okay! That was fantastic.
[camera clicks, beeps.]
Miku, you were amazing.
This is my place.
Make sure you clean it up.
You should clean your own place.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
[door closes.]
- Hello.
- Hey.
Oh, hello.
- Oh, right.
- [Kawada laughs.]
They're on the shelf.
[Toshi.]
Thanks.
Let's see.
Huh? [Kawada.]
Oh! THE WIDOW IN AN EKIBEN FUCK MIKU MINAMI [Toshi.]
Hey, man, look! This is a one step forward.
[Toshi chuckles.]
We did it.
Your video was different and interesting.
But you know, she's one of Poseidon's actresses.
Are you sure you guys are going to be okay? Mm.
That's good.
Such a refined flavor.
It's an independent branch of a famous restaurant.
Good.
Independent branches are a good system.
They're a barometer for trust.
[chuckles.]
[Ikezawa.]
Now, everyone.
Eat.
All of you.
[all.]
Thank you.
[actress 1.]
This is delicious.
- [actress 2.]
Could you pass me the dish? - [actress 3.]
Sure.
[Ikezawa.]
What's wrong? You're not hungry? I'm sorry.
I'm just very nervous - [actress 4.]
You're nervous? That's cute.
- [all.]
So cute.
She just signed with us last month.
Her name is Shizuka Saeki.
There's no need to be tense.
We're like a family here.
[all.]
He's right.
- [chuckles.]
- [Shizuka.]
Thank you.
- [actress 5.]
She's so adorable.
- So cute.
Let me tell you about an interesting video I saw the other day.
[all.]
Really? Tell us.
[Shizuka.]
What was it like? The couple was engaged in a position I have never seen before.
What do you mean? [Ikezawa.]
And the girl's acting was unrestrained and free.
[Ikezawa chuckles.]
But I was having trouble getting turned on, so I took a closer look.
Turns out the girl was [actress 6.]
Who was it? one of our actresses.
- [thuds.]
- [plate clatters.]
[tense music.]
[snickers.]
Unfortunately that means her life is over.
[chuckles.]
[sobbing.]
Hey.
Stop crying.
It spoils the meal.
[club dance music playing.]
[man 6.]
Coming through.
Hi, let me through.
- [officer 1.]
Could you please stop? - [man 6.]
Hey, come down.
Just stop the music.
Stop the music.
- Stop the music! - [man 7.]
What the hell is this? Hey, we're the police! [man 8.]
Stay where you are.
Miku Minami.
Come with us.
- [woman 1.]
No, wait! - [man 9.]
Stand back, stand back.
Stand back, stand back.
[woman 3.]
Where are you taking her? Shits like you are ruining our country.
[man 10.]
Fuck off.
- [woman 2.]
Miku! - [woman 3.]
Miku! [Takei.]
If you're going to blame someone, blame Muranishi.
We need a guarantor to take you home.
Is your mother okay? Please.
Please don't tell my parents.
Please! I'll do anything.
Just please don't tell them.
[scoffs.]
Hey, didn't we call them already? [officer 2.]
Yes.
It's too late.
We told them everything.
[Takei.]
Yes.
[chuckles.]
Oh, right.
[sighs.]
I forgot to give you this.
[Miku's mother.]
You never call anymore.
[Miku's mother.]
Are you on your way to work? [Miku.]
Yes, I am.
Actually, I'm saving up right now so I can send you on a trip.
[Miku's mother.]
Thank you, honey.
But your thoughtful offer is enough.
Are you okay with money? No way.
[sobbing.]
PORN ACTRESS MIKU MINAMI HAD REAL SEX ON SCREEN [classical music playing.]
[sighs.]
[music stops playing.]
[sighs.]
PORN ACTRESS MIKU MINAMI HAD REAL SEX ON SCREEN TORU MURANISHI [Megumi's mother.]
Megumi? What are you doing? Yes, Mother.
Dinner is ready.
Hurry up and come down.
I'll be right down.
[door closes.]
[Rugby.]
So what happened to Miku? She's back home.
Said she's laying low for a while.
Just when we finally made something that sells.
That's not the issue here! [Junko.]
That's not the issue at all.
That's why I was against it.
Miku I'm responsible, too.
I should've tried harder to stop you.
Hey, man, so about our shoot tomorrow [sighs.]
[Toshi.]
Hm There's no use beating yourself up, man.
We can't stop now.
We have to keep filming, right? [Mitamura.]
He's right.
We have a shoot tomorrow.
[Muranishi.]
I know.
[Kawada.]
We have a situation.
What is it? The actress for our next shoot suddenly canceled on us.
What? Did she go AWOL? No.
Not quite.
[chuckles.]
Just one more.
[grunts.]
- [Furuya.]
Oh, so you're only a tile away.
- [chuckles.]
- Sorry, Furuya.
- [Furuya.]
What? - I'm going to win this one.
- [both chuckle.]
Never let your guard down.
I could be close too.
Consider yourself warned.
You better watch out for Muranishi, too.
He's not even on my radar.
But he got under your skin.
I got rid of an actress who broke the rules.
Oh If you say so.
He can't be underestimated.
He's got vision and balls of steel.
He can be a pain in the ass.
Nonsense.
Even if he does cause a problem, you'll handle him, right? Well, he's on my turf, so he's at my beck and call.
Granted that I get favors in return.
Right, King of Porn? I know.
Ron! - [Ikezawa.]
I win.
- That was a bad move on my part.
It's a big win for me.
Take a look.
Fine, here.
As always, you scratch my back, and I scratch yours.
[chuckles.]
Here, you should try one.
- [Furuya.]
Eh? - [chuckles.]
It's too sweet.
- [Kawada.]
Yes, I see, but - [Mitamura.]
The shoot is tomorrow.
- can you send one actress? - [Kawada.]
Anyone is fine.
No? - But we need someone for tomorrow.
- [Kawada.]
I see.
[groans.]
[Rugby.]
I'll make the fee worth your while.
[Mitamura.]
Junko! - We have a problem.
- What? Tomorrow's actress backed out.
- What? - What did you say? Don't fuck with me! You're not making any sense! You [telephone dings.]
[Kawada.]
Muranishi.
We're being outcasted.
[Toshi.]
We know who's behind this.
[tense music.]
[pen rasps.]
[light switch clicks.]
[Megumi.]
Oh, here you are.
Long time no see.
