[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
[CHILD SPEAKS JAPANESE]
[IN JAPANESE] Good morning,
Councilor Ito.
Hideki, give me a towel.
PEOPLE'S PEACE PARTY YOJIRO ITO
[REPORTER] And in politics,
after making its way out of committee,
a proposal to curb
yakuza activity
will be deliberated at
Parliament tomorrow.
- While membership in these organizations
- [ITO GROANING]
has been on the decline,
a recent uptick
in activity has driven efforts
- to stamp out their presence for good.
- [ITO GROANS]
When asked about this issue recently,
Councilor Ito had this to say.
Organized crime
that threatens citizens
should never be forgiven,
so it must be
eradicated once and for all.
[LAUGHS] I should have gotten a haircut.
[TV CONTINUES]
I'm ready for my bath, Hideki.
[REPORTER] Voting on this issue
is set to take place later this week
- as part of a larger reform initiative
- [ITO GRUNTS]
Let's try that new camellia oil,
shall we?
And then get my breakfast, would you?
Would it be too naughty
to do pancakes? [LAUGHS]

[SUZIE SIGHS, SNIFFS]
[SIGHS]
- [SUZIE SIGHS]
Sunny, wake.
- [SUZIE SIGHS]
- [MIXXY] Anything?
Why won't she just reboot?
We'll play around
with it when I get back.
You have to go?
I gotta make up for yesterday.
Of course.
Yeah. I'm really sorry.
It's amazing that you came.
- I'm really sorry.
- Will you stop it?
Seriously. I get it.
[SUZIE SIGHS]
You're not gonna wear that again,
though, are you?
It's okay. I change at work. [CHUCKLES]
No. Don't be silly.
I have plenty of stuff.
Uh
Here.
I don't wear this anymore.
Um, do you maybe just have
some jeans or something?
Not that'll fit you.
I like to layer it with this.
- Suzie, this is
- Oh, my God. Would you just put it on?
Yeah. Great, thanks.
If you cinch it, it's really good.
The waist.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
Sunny.
[SIGHS]
[CHIMES, EXHALES]
[SUZIE GASPS] Oh, my God.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [MIXXY] Are you okay?
Yes. Uh, no. Come here.
What did you do?
Uh Should Should I wake her up?
Um, I'm not sure that's a great idea.
We should see if she's okay, right?
Suzie,
we don't know what they did to her.
It's, like, when someone comes back
from a cult,
you don't just start sleeping with them
again the first night.
You take them to be deprogrammed.
[MIXXY SNIFFS]
Not me. I saw a documentary.
Look, I'm not saying
never turn her back on again.
But, you know,
just wait till I get back. Okay?
You should really cinch that.
[MIXXY SIGHS]
- Sunny, wake.
- [CHIMES]
[SUZIE GASPS] Oh, my God.
Sunny, are you okay? [GASPS]
[SUNNY] Hello, Suzie.
Do you need something?
Uh, no. I just
Then why did you turn me on?
Because I was worried about you.
But I can put you back to sleep
if that's what you want.
[SIGHS] Well, now I'm up.
But if you don't need anything,
I'm gonna go watch TV.
[TV PLAYING]
- [IN JAPANESE] Give me a hint, please.
- The hint is
Something that Saigo
and I have in common.
[SUNNY LAUGHS]
[CONTESTANT SPEAKS JAPANESE]
[SUZIE CHUCKLES]
I've never really gotten these shows.
Well, you'd have to understand
Japanese for starters.
Jesus. Okay.
[TV CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND]
[SUZIE SIGHS]
How are you feeling?
Do you feel different or
Why do you keep asking?
Do you Do you remember
what happened to you yesterday?
No, I was powered off. Hang on.
Zexy.
[SUNNY LAUGHING]
Are you mad at me or something?
Why would I be mad at you?
I don't know. You just seem different.
Like there's been a shift.
Look, I I want you to know that
I did everything I could to find you.
Okay? And they say that it's important
for PTSD survivors to talk
I'm a homebot, Suzie.
We don't get PTSD.
Hmm. Apparently,
PMS isn't out of the question.
- Pardon?
- Nothing.
You know I also don't menstruate.
Thanks for the scoop.
Ugh, I'm hungry.
Fuck.
[INMATE 1, IN JAPANESE]
So, you two rascals used to
get into mischief back in school?
[INMATE 2] No way. Noriko-san was
a real Goody Two-shoes.
If you're not careful,
you'll lose, Yoko-san.
[CHUCKLES]
[NORIKO] Check.
- Checkmate.
- [INMATE 1 CHEERS]
Sakamoto-san is a beast!
Beginner's luck.
You don't mind, do you, Noriko-san?
My blood sugar.
How about best two out of three?
You can win all the candy back.
Table number two!
You're up for virtual visits.
- [INMATE 1 SPEAKS JAPANESE]
- But we're starting a new game.
Aren't you coming?
I'm sure you have
lots of people to call
[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
[AUTOMATED VOICE]
This is Kyoto Women's Prison.
Will you accept a call from
[NORIKO, IN JAPANESE] Noriko Sakamoto.
Suzie- san, you're not using
the sheet mask I gave you.
It's nice to know
prison hasn't changed you.
Are you okay?
Can I try to get you out now?
I'm fine, thank you.
But what is that you
think you're eating?
[GRUNTS] Nothing.
Go to my house.
In the freezer, I have takikomi gohan.
You know how to make dashi?
Of course not.
Buy some miso packets at konbini.
[SIGHS] Or maybe I can just steal them.
The culinary instructor here
is supposed to be quite good.
I'll get her name.
Maybe she'll have the patience
to teach you.
I'm sorry, okaasan. I need to go.
Maybe you can give me a call next week?
I wasn't calling for you anyway.
Could I please speak to Sunny-chan?
[SUNNY] Is that Noriko-san?
Yeah.
I can say hi. Transfer her to me.
Um, okay.
[CHIMES]
[SUNNY, IN JAPANESE]
Noriko-sama! What a treat!
[SUNNY LAUGHS]
Photos.
[YOUNG ZEN LAUGHING]
[SUZIE] Oh, my baby.
Cheese!
[LAUGHING] No! No!
[SUNNY LAUGHS, SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]
Noriko-san, you're hilarious!
- [AUTOMATED VOICE] Calling Dee.
- [PHONE RINGS]
Calling Dee.
[CHILD] Hi. Uh,
my mom can't answer right now.
Leave a message. [GIGGLES]
[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]
Hey, it's Suzie. [STAMMERS]
I actually tried you a few weeks ago
because things have been, um
Dee, it's been really bad. And, uh
I miss you.
Um
[STAMMERS] I know I was a
terrible friend, and I don't deserve
But I was just telling someone about you
and I thought
Um
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- [SIGHS]
[MIXXY CLEARS THROAT]
What the fuck? How'd you get in?
What? You gave me access.
You shouldn't sneak up on people
like that.
- [MIXXY] Mmm.
- It's creepy.
Do you wanna ask what I'm doing here?
Why I'm back?
I got fired.
What? Oh, my God. What happened?
I was five minutes late
after leaving early yesterday.
Ugh, Mixxy.
[SIGHS] Here.
[SIGHS]
I don't want your backwash whiskey.
Wow. I'll make you a new one.
I'm good.
So, are you gonna say you're sorry?
Yeah. Of course I am. I mean
The They don't deserve you though.
And-And you'll find another job.
I mean, you can't swing a dead cat
in this town
without hitting a cocktail bar, right?
Are you trying to be insensitive?
No! No, not at all.
I told you this morning,
I felt so bad about
you leaving yesterday.
Yeah. To try to manipulate me
into staying again.
Manipulate you?
Do you have any idea how hard it was
to get a gig at Ochiba?
How much I need that work?
Yes.
I mean, no. But
Of course not.
I mean, look at you.
When was the last time
you had an actual real job?
I wanted time with my kid, asshole.
Because I was pretty sure
I'd die like my mom
and never have enough time with him.
Turns out I was right.
What?
Nothing.
It's just impossible to criticize you.
You walk around with some kind of
grief shield and no one
can question you.
You can do whatever you want.
Are you kidding?
I would love
not to have this grief shield.
[CHUCKLES]
What?
I guess that's sort of what it's like
for you here all the time,
isn't it?
No one ever calls you on your bullshit.
Is that why you came to Japan
in the first place?
So you could hide behind being a gaijin.
No.
No, I came here because I was obsessed
with Sailor Moon and dorayaki,
and I was dying to live here.
If that were true,
why haven't you learned Japanese?
Why do you have zero friends?
I mean, seriously, Suzie.
Why am I the only person helping you?
Why are you alone?
- I didn't ask for your help.
- Really?
You can barely cross the street
by yourself.
[SUNNY] Could you guys pipe down,
please?
Are you fucking kidding me?
I thought we weren't turning it on.
I guess I changed my mind.
You know what, Suzie?
There is something really fucked
about a person
who cares more about a homebot
than they do about people.
You know what, Mixxy?
You can go suck a dick,
because the only reason
I care about Sunny is that she
- [GASPS] Sunny, sleep!
- [MIXXY GRUNTS]
- [MIXXY PANTING, COUGHING]
- [SUZIE] Oh, my God.
Are you okay?
[IN JAPANESE] What the fuck?
You couldn't have waited
another day or two
you asshole?
Was he in pain?
Oh, no. No pain.
He was fine one moment,
then gone the next. So quick.
That kind of speed at the end
is what we all wish for, yes?
If it brings you comfort,
your father wasn't alone at the end.
[SPEAKS JAPANESE]
Who was with him?
His nephew.
Such a nice man.
[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
Tetsu, listen to me carefully
What? Well then,
get over there now and stop them.
I'm on my way.
[JIN] Cousin.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Fuck that.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
As wakagashira,
it is my duty to conduct
the election for the next oyabun.
Yes.
After we bury the last one.
Though apparently,
you were in such a rush,
you couldn't even wait
for him to die of natural causes.
I don't think I understand you.
I was just at the hospital,
where I learned that my father died
rather suddenly.
Unexpectedly, even.
While you were with him.
Cousin
Be careful.
No. I don't think I will be.
Tell us.
Why were you at the hospital?
- [YAKUZA MEMBERS GRUNT]
- [JIN] It's okay.
She's not in her right mind.
She's a woman in mourning.
Shall we discuss this in private?
Here is good.
Your father asked me to visit him.
To give me his blessing.
I'm sorry, Himé.
He had lost faith in you.
[JIN SIGHS]
Bullshit.
My father and I had a deal.
You killed him
because you knew I was close.
If you're so close,
then why the knife?
My bot's right there.
Have it do your dirty work.
Though, Himé,
just pushing the bot on top of me
doesn't count.
[JIN, YAKUZA MEMBERS LAUGH]
You idiots. That was research.
[LAUGHING CONTINUES]
I'm sorry, Himé.
Perhaps your father died when he did
because he was at peace.
By anointing me,
he knew his house was in order.
Are you kidding?
Who could possibly say
this house is in order?
Look at it.
The very building is crumbling.
You yourselves are rotting away.
If we continue on as we have,
we'll never last against
the Triads or the hangure.
But yesterday,
I found the key to save us.
What I am building is our future.
It's how our legacy survives.
How can you possibly think
Jin is the answer?
But, Himé, that's why we're here.
To take a vote.
SAKAI ELECTRONICS COMPANY
[KNOCKS]
what's going on? Is it Dark Manual code?
[ELECTRICIAN] No. Only fragment I see
is a plug-in for stealing.
Cheap street-level stuff.
There's nothing else.
So, how did it pummel me then?
That's the thing.
Homebots are programmed with limiters
to prevent them from doing illegal shit.
Dark Manual code attacks the limiters,
but your bot seems fine.
Wait.
Why'd you implant this tracker?
What tracker?
This is Kyoto.
And I guess this is one of you.
Gaijin lady, do a lap real quick.
[SUZIE SIGHS]
- [ELECTRICIAN] Yep.
- [SUZIE] Oh, my God.
- What
- [ELECTRICIAN] Huh.
You know someone in a women's prison?
Yeah. Yeah, that's that's
my mother-in-law. But why would
What's that one?
[ELECTRICIAN] An apartment
building by the train museum.
You got people there too?
Do you think your husband could have
planted them before
Maybe.
[MIXXY] How long have they been going?
[ELECTRICIAN] About a day.
Yours is the only one that moved much.
Does that mean that
But why would they be tracking
your mother-in-law?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who is this "they"
you think is tracking you?
Tell me, or we're done here.
[SUZIE SIGHS]
Um, the yakuza.
They took my homebot
for a while yesterday.
You need to leave.
But you just said if I told you, you
Can you at least show me
how to track the GPS? Please.
[CHIMES]
Here.
But if I were you,
I'd just throw the bot in the river.
Burn it. Just get rid of it.
It's not worth it.
[GUARD, IN JAPANESE] Move it.
During visitation,
I noticed you were
talking with a homebot.
Yours?
My daughter-in-law's.
Mmm. Fancy.
You know, there used to be
- a gal in our group, Rie-san.
- [GUARD SPEAKS JAPANESE]
She was lots of fun. Popular.
Until word got round
that she'd gotten herself thrown in here
on purpose.
Can you imagine? A sicko.
And once the other ladies found out
Well,
the poor dear was moved to Block C.
For her own safety.
So I'd watch it if I were you,
Sakamoto-san
Move it.
come out of sleep mode, she'll see this
and, I don't know, wake and bake?
It's still there. It hasn't moved.
[MIXXY] It could be a trap.
I know. But, Mixxy, fuck
If that's me and that's Noriko
Let's find your tracker first, okay?
So they can't follow you.
Yeah.
[MIXXY] No. It's not in the coat.
Not that.
No.
Hmm. No.
No. [SIGHS]
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- [SUZIE] Mixxy, was that it?
- Um, no.
[SIGHS]
Oh, fuck.
Did you take it off yesterday?
But I had it off this morning.
During my shower.
Maybe I should throw her in the river.
Oh, I'm such a fucking idiot.
This isn't your fault.
It's a bot. A computer. They get hacked.
Right.
So, you think you wanna get dressed
before we go, or
You were right about me, okay?
It's my fault I'm alone.
That nobody's rushing to hold my hand.
Historically, I'm a terrible friend.
Currently too.
I ignore boundaries.
Except for my own, which I fortify.
Says my therapist, whom I fired.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
I-I-I wanna do better.
I really do. What What are you
What are y What?
My nipple's showing, isn't it?
I guess she wanted to apologize too.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS] I can't let you come with me.
Thank you for saying all that.
And for the peep show. [CHUCKLES]
But I wanna come.
Honestly, you won't last an hour
out there without me.
[LAUGHS]
I'm gonna wear clothes.
Oh.
Just in case. So we can track it.
- [WHISPERS] Delete message.
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
[IN JAPANESE] They're moving,
but her tracker is still in the house.
Smart girl.
Stay on them.
I'll get back to you.
Is everything okay?
Mrs. Sakamoto is onto us.
[TETSU SIGHS]
Himé.
[HIMÉ] If you have something to say,
you'll have to say it, Tetsu.
I can't read your mind.
I guess I've been thinking about
what the future holds for us.
Now that Jin is boss.
Jin killed my father.
[TETSU CLEARS THROAT]
[SIGHS] Oh.
So you believe him.
[SIGHS] Say hi to your wife.
[TETSU] Himé.
I would do anything for you.
You know this.
[HIMÉ BREATHES SHAKILY]
You mean it?
I love you, Himé.
Then
get your gun.
[SUZIE, MIXXY PANTING]
- [SUZIE] I can't tell.
It's not tracking height.
Uh, but it's on this side.
One of the apartments
that ends with eight.
- [ELEVATOR DINGS]
- [SUZIE] Okay.
Wait!
[MUTTERS]
Just in case. [PANTING]
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
[IN JAPANESE] Yes?
We're giving free English lessons.
Would you like one?
Zen? Masa?
We'll start Thursday!
[KNOCKS]
[IN JAPANESE] Welcome.
[KNOCKS]
[CHATTERING, LAUGHING]
- [SUZIE] Masa! Zen!
- [KNOCKS]
[SPORTS PLAYING ON TV]
[COMMENTATOR]
Hit to the right! A real big hit!
Masa! Zen!
[CHILD SCREAMING]
[SUZIE] Zen!
Zen!
Baby. I'm coming!
- [CHILD SCREAMING]
- [SUZIE] Zen.
Zen! Are you in here?
Baby. Can you hear me?
- [CHILD SHOUTING IN JAPANESE]
- Can I help you?
- What do you want, lady?
- [CHILD SCREAMS]
I must have the wrong apartment.
I'm sorry. I'm looking for my son.
[IN JAPANESE]
You can take mine if you want.
- That's it.
I don't I don't know.
- [MIXXY] I'm sorry.
- [ELEVATOR DINGS]
[MIXXY SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Suzie.
Look.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
[MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKER]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
You brought me Sunny.
[MUSIC STOPS]
Suzie-san.
We should talk.
[SUNNY CHIMES]
Suzie?
