Fishbowl Wives (2022) s01e05 Episode Script

My apologies for the wait.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I see.
Goldfish require a lot of care.
Yes.
But the more you care for them, the cuter they start to look.
You think I can handle it? Of course.
But if you run into any trouble, we're always here to help.
- There's no need to worry.
- Right.
- They're so cute.
- Indeed.
We're seeing more women among our customers lately.
Really? Perhaps you make this place more inviting.
That's not it.
It's just a coincidence.
Time for dinner.
Hello, welcome.
I'm Masako Bando.
Is Haruto here? Haru Masako.
It's been a while.
It has.
You're looking good.
There's something I'd like to talk about.
Can we speak alone? Sakura, is it all right if I step away? Yeah.
Come in.
Thanks.
I'm here today as the legal advisor on behalf of Kazama Holdings.
Your father I mean, the CEO is requesting your presence at home.
The thing is, the other day, Sakura Hiraga's husband came to visit.
What? ANONYMOUS NO.
582 APT 4501 SAKURA HIRAGA My son moved out seven years ago.
He no longer has any affiliation with the Kazama family.
I see.
However, it may not appear that way to the public.
Are you trying to intimidate me for money? By no means.
I just thought you should know the facts.
I'll come by again.
Takuya and Sakura Hiraga are a high-profile couple with plenty of media exposure.
If this comes out, people will make a big deal about it.
Don't you know? GRAND OPEN IN OMOTESANDO COUPLE OPERATES SALON UNLIKE ANYTHING BEFORE CHARISMATIC HAIRDRESSER COUPLE SUPPORTS EACH OTHER She once led a glamorous life.
You think tending to goldfish can fulfill her? I don't want to say this, but I don't think it's going to last anyway.
Sakura is not like you.
You've only known her for a few months.
You don't know anything about her.
That's not it.
Huh? Sakura is She's a special person.
But she's married.
What's your plan? You know you can't keep living like this.
At any rate, think about it and get back to me.
ONE HOUR EARLIER Hey, Puu, wait! Huh? There, there.
What's the matter? Puu! How could you! I'm sorry for bothering you.
That's my dog.
Is that so? So sorry to bother you.
Not at all.
The tower condo.
Over there.
You live there, don't you? Yes, I do, but Have we met before? Well, no.
It's just that I've seen you around.
Puu, come here.
Honestly, I'm a little surprised.
She hasn't taken to anyone other than my husband and son.
Your husband? You're married? Yes.
What is your husband like? Why do you ask? It's nothing, I'm sorry.
My husband is the CEO of a company.
He's quite busy, always traveling.
He hardly ever comes home.
What's wrong? Wait, are you okay? My head - Let's rest somewhere.
- My head hurts! My house is nearby.
Are you okay? It hurts Here you are.
Thank you.
A goldfish.
We have one too.
Is that so? It's just, I get lonely by myself.
I'm Hisako Taguchi.
What? I'm Baba.
Do you have any family, Baba? No, I don't.
I used to live with my family in a high-rise once.
But I was kicked out and now I'm on my own.
- Kicked out? - Yes.
She found out I'd cheated.
I lost my family and job for a fleeting moment of pleasure.
I regret it, but it's too late now.
An affair Are you okay? - Hisako? - It hurts.
Are you okay? Wait! Stop! I have a husband and a son.
- I can't do this.
Let go.
- Hisako Please visit again.
I'll be waiting.
TOYODA GOLDFISH INCOMING CALL: MASAKO Masako.
- I'll take this really quick.
- Yeah.
Any new thoughts on what we talked about? You should know.
Back then I decided I would never return to that house.
You did, but About Sakura and me, I'll figure things out without causing trouble for the family.
Please relay that to my father.
Bye.
But she's married.
You can't keep living like this.
Sakura hasn't returned home.
I know.
Don't they run the salon together? What will happen if they get divorced? Well, she'd have to quit.
She has to pay the consequences for the affair.
What do you think the other man was like? From the photo, he looked young.
I'm sorry.
My head is aching.
Sorry to cut things short.
- Another migraine? - I'm sorry.
Take care.
Hisako doesn't handle these topics well.
She's very straightlaced.
You're right.
We shouldn't go there anymore.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
What's wrong? Does your head hurt again? No, I'm fine.
I'll make dinner right away.
Hello.
Hello.
- He's upstairs.
I'll get him for you.
- It's fine.
I heard that Masako came here.
Masako is my brother's ex-girlfriend.
She's my father's legal advisor.
My father really likes her.
I thought it'd be great if they got married as well.
But when my brother suddenly said he would quit the company, she dumped him.
After that, he pined after her for a long time.
So this is a chance for the two of them to try again.
Don't you think it's about time you left? That would be the best for my brother.
Bye.
Are you ready, Ms.
Taguchi? Yes, please.
Three, two, one.
Okay! That's all of it.
Is this your first time getting a Brazilian? Yes.
Well, I do think removing the hair can make things easier to maintain.
Some clients confess that they're doing it for an affair.
What? They say their boyfriends like that it's easier to go down on them.
I'm sorry.
What am I saying? - Infidelity is unforgivable! - What? Giving into to desire, only to lose everything you've worked hard to build.
That's absurd.
I couldn't live if I ever lost my son.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you for coming in.
We look forward to seeing you again.
She seems so serious.
Surely she's not cheating? No, she most certainly is cheating.
A personality like hers is most susceptible to getting caught up in it.
Don't stare so much.
TOYODA GOLDFISH Excuse me? - Hello? - Yes, what can I do for you? Where can I find this goldfish? GOLDFISHOTAKU Yes, right over here.
But she's married.
You can't keep living like this.
Hey, did the treatment compound arrive? What? The catechin.
You said you'd buy more.
I forgot.
I'll go buy it now.
No, it's okay.
I'll go.
I want to shop for dinner as well.
Sorry.
No, it's okay.
I'll be back.
After that, he pined after her for a long time.
So this is a chance for the two of them to try again.
Don't you think it's about time you left? That would be the best for my brother.
In my mind, I know that infidelity is absolutely wrong.
But when that man touches me When Baba touches me, my body desires him against my wishes.
It's like I'm I'm not myself anymore.
The headaches seem very hard on you.
Yes.
I saw a doctor, but they're not sure what causes it.
The body is very honest.
Both pain and pleasure are trying to signal a message to you.
A message? You're an earnest person, and that lends itself to a tendency to suppress how you feel.
You must hold onto a lot of stress? HISAKO TAGUCHI JULY 7, 1984 SAT.
Nothing can be solved if you ignore these emotional messages.
I'm back.
I did a little side errand, so I'm late.
- A side errand? - Yeah.
I bought these.
What made you buy shears all of the sudden? Well It was just a feeling.
A long time ago, I used to work in a salon as a hairdresser.
When people get a haircut, it doesn't just change their looks.
It changes how they feel, you know? Like for example, they might be heartbroken or they might be depressed from work.
But after a haircut, they feel they can let things go, and strangely enough, they start to feel better.
I love being a part of that.
It made me very happy.
But because of the accident, my fingers don't move as well now.
To be honest, when I was helping at my husband's salon, I really wanted to cut hair.
And I still feel that way.
But that wasn't possible.
Whenever I held my shears, I would get sad.
So I avoided touching them as much as possible.
So it was because of that accident that you stopped cutting hair? But as you can see now, I can hold my shears again.
It's thanks to you, Haruto.
Thank you.
Okay, all done! Here.
Thank you so much.
I should clean up the hair.
What's wrong? You still can't? Sakura is not coming back.
So just forget about her.
Damn it.
My sincere apologies.
I wasn't able to persuade him.
I see.
Perhaps he's still afraid.
To face you.
TOYODA GOLDFISH Welcome Dad! So it's you? I have no intention of telling you what to do with your life.
Do what you want, be it running a goldfish shop or having an affair.
But it's a different matter if it brings harm to the company.
Even if you've left the family, the fact is that you are the eldest son of the Kazama family.
Don't you understand that? Haven't you told her? Sakura, please go upstairs.
No, please remain here.
Takuya Hiraga showed up unannounced at the CEO's residence.
He said that he was upset because you are involved with his wife.
I heard that you want to solve this on your own and promised not to cause any inconvenience to the family.
How are you going to resolve this? What's wrong? Tell me.
Forget it.
I'll handle this matter.
So in the end, you're choosing to run away again.
You haven't changed.
Please wait a moment.
Haruto helped me when I had no place to go.
Even now, he's only thinking of my wellbeing.
He hasn't done anything wrong.
If anything I was wrong for taking advantage of his kindness.
So And so I'll leave.
I won't see Haruto again.
- Sakura - I'm sorry.
Things have gotten out of hand.
But I'll be okay.
Don't worry about me.
Just to clarify, you were not serious about being with my son.
Is that correct? Yes.
I'm old enough to know better, but I've done something stupid.
I apologize for all the trouble I've caused.
Thank you for all you've done.
Take care of yourself.
So she's gone.
Which means she really wasn't serious about you.
That's a load off my mind! Stop it.
Don't talk like that.
- But it's true! - It's not.
Then why didn't you stop her? If you really love her, you wouldn't let her go.
In the end, you weren't serious about her either That's not it! I'm not It's not my place to stop her.
What do you mean? - Wait here, okay? - Okay.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Look out! No way.
That was her? In that moment, I couldn't move.
Because I couldn't do anything Because of that, Sakura What right do I have to be with her? I'm not worthy to even desire that.
I'll always be by your side.
Goldfish are tough.
Even if they jump out of the fishbowl, they have the strength to keep swimming.
That's what I love about goldfish.
I never should have let you go.
