The Confidence Man JP (Konfidensu Man JP / コンフィデンスマンJP)

Do you know why you're poor?

You're poor...

because you don't crave for money.

Money doesn't yield to this kind of a person.

Finlay Dunne.

Hato!

How much money did you prepare as bait? 10 million yen?

I'm not that stingy.

I'll guard it.

That's comforting.

If you double the money, you can use this to show-off.

Sorry you have to go through all this in our dance club.

Thanks, director.

No need to call me that.

When we're alone, just call me...

Kumiko.

Good, Hato.

It's the adult's responsibility to teach an immature child.

Take away her money, and open this shop.

Welcome. I've been waiting for you.

Where is she?

Tasteless wench.

If you want to win, look carefully.

Don't be deceived by what you see before you.

Because it's not for real.

What's real?

What's false?

Amazing.

I'm so happy.

You're back, Director Kumiko.

I came to play.

Is that so?

This way, please.

Double six dice entering.

Lay your bets.

Single, double, single, double.

Finished laying your bet?

Bets are placed.

Open the cup.

Two, four, six points, double.

The simpler the game, the more it attracts people.

If you set up a vacation center in Japan,

you need to add this to the casino.

The foreigners will definitely be happy.

This is for you to use.

How can I do that?

Double six entering.

Please lay your bets.

Single. - Double.

Single. - Double.

Single. - Double.

Single. - Come on.

Double. - Here we go.

Double.

Bets are placed.

Open.

Four, six, ten points, double.

You really live up to your name, Director Kumiko.

Please lay your bets.

Double. - Does anyone bet on a single?

Single.

Five, two, seven points, single.

Double.

Double six, twelve points, double.

Single. - Four, three, seven points, single.

Single. - Three, two, five points, single.

Have you decided?

It doesn't look good for a tax accountant like you...

to be at the beck and call of a young woman.

Ignorance is frightening.

She has nothing to do with the crime syndicate.

It's just a matter of time before the shop closes down.

Come to me.

Lay your bets.

Double.

Double four, eight points, double.

That's it for today.

I want to play a bit longer.

We'll be happier if we stop when we're ahead.

Are they going to chase away customers who win too much?

No, they just want customers to go back with the money they won.

Tell the truth. There's no more money in the safe, right?

We always have...

at least 100 million yen in the shop at any time.

Don't worry.

I apologize for my staff's rudeness.

Yes, as Rei said, it's nearly time to stop.

But it's not good to take it all like this. How about one last game?

Bet everything.

After that, we'll give you more money.

There's 100 million yen here.

No problem, right?

The value is too high. No one can take this on.

You? Don't you have 100 million yen?

You're not willing to take the challenge?

Take out the money.

This should be the way.

But we're going to throw the dice.

I'm the only one who throws the dice here.

It's okay.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Now, allow me as the lowly manager of this casino...

to be the one to throw the dice.

Please be generous.

Are you ready?

Two dices entering the cup.

Lay your bets, Director Kumiko. Choose either single or double.

Lay your bets.

I've got a few on hand at all times.

The points have been decided before the dice is rolled.

We know the points before the dice enters the cup.

Single.

Double.

Bets are placed.

Open up.

Four, one, five points, single.

When one is lucky, there's no stopping it.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

This is my money.

You can't have it. - What did you say?

This is mine. - Let go, Ms. Rei.

Give it to me, stupid woman.

Let go, upstart.

Calm down, Ms. Rei.

That hurts.

Let go.

No way, this is my money. - Let go!

Let me go.

Police.

The police are here.

Freeze! - Police!

Freeze! Police!

Run, director.

My money.

Forget the money.

Yozakura No Rei.

We are arresting you under suspicion of gambling embezzlement.

Stop.

Put down the sword.

This is my money.

Try and take it away.

Put down the weapon!

Run! Hurry!

How long will you keep up the act?

You're not Kawatani Takuzo.

Really!

Even the macaronis and cowboys aren't such good actors.

I don't think you understand. - It's Chief Ishizaki.

You don't look like the chief of a used car chain store.

You're a great actor.

I told you...

I learned a bit of acting at school.

My company's staff like this.

Good work.

Everyone, clap!

Ishizaki car.

But I didn't think it would be so easy.

This is clearly just like in the movies.

That woman doesn't watch old movies.

Besides, failure and success has already been decided.

The fake casino must look real.

Let her see the 100 million yen in cash.

Then, she would lose herself.

That's amazing.

The one who builds a company from scratch is certainly different.

Luckily, Kumiko gave me an inspiration.

I haven't made proper introductions.

She's the hostess of the casino I frequent.

We hit it off...

while we chatted away there.

Yes.

While Hato was dancing in bar in Ibaraki,

I noticed him and sent him to Kumiko Yashiro.

I thought that woman likes this kind of a man.

This man often acted in gangster movies.

I hired him because he claimed to be good at rolling the dice.

I'm good at gauging people.

I managed to avenge my wife and daughter.

That Kumiko Yashiro...

caused my wife and daughter to be infatuated with cowboys.

They spent millions on them.

My daughter is still a student.

How can I take that?

I had to take back the money that my wife and daughter spent.

That's my money.

Tax-evaded money.

Yes, tax-evaded.

Don't put it that way.

Sorry.

A brilliant tax-savings. - Exactly.

The director's 100 million yen..

plus the 100 million yen swindled from Kumiko Yashiro.

It's 200,000,000 altogether.

After we've collected it,

let's all come celebrate and enjoy at my house.

Yes!

Good job. - Good job.

What you see may not be reality.

What's real and what's fake?
