The Good Wife Japan (The Good Wife / Guddo Waifu / グッドワイフ)

Hasumi Kyoko made a comeback as a lawyer after 16 years.

There's a transfer record from Tomioka Seikou in your bank account.

Her life was dropped into the pits when her husband, the former head of

Special Investigation Department, was arrested for bribery and had an adultery scandal.

Your boss now is me-- Wakisaka.

It's decided that only one of us will be employed.

I worked under your husband for 3 years, and then I was fired.

You shouldn't trust your husband too much.

The train derailment accident occurred

3 months ago, on 22th August, at 1.35 am.

A freight train derailed without going around the curve.

No victims were caught up in this accident, but

unfortunately, the driver, Iguchi Tatsuo-san, passed away.

Hasumi Kyoko

Lawyer

Are you going to continue? This forced speech.

Kawai Emi

Lawyer

Tada Masahiro

Lawyer

I wanted to share this tragedy

with everyone once again.

Did you forget the inspection result by Accident Investigation Committee?

There were no brake marks.

In other words, this accident was caused by the driver dozing off.

We should be suing you instead.

- The reason he dozed off is... - In the first place, the cause is overwork.

Iguchi-san was so tired that he dozed off.

Asahi Kotaro

Lawyer

You know that Iguchi-san recorded down his working hours

in this notebook when he was alive, right?

From this year, he clocked 85 hours of average overtime work per month.

This is obvious overwork!

Yes, I've certainly seen that.

The notebook that suddenly appeared after

the industrial accident compensation was paid out.

As if it's telling the company to pay more.

May I have a moment?

Ah, now's the period when I can only eat bit by bit.

There she goes.

Iguchi-san's roster and payroll book.

According to these official records,

his average overtime work was 44 hours per month for the recent half year.

It's unreasonable to insist that he overworked.

Wasn't he made to do unpaid overtime?

Impossible.

We conduct thorough instruction on overtime work...

Anzai Hiroshi

Tojin Railway, Labour Director

Hey, that's rude. Switch it off.

Sorry, it's from a journalist friend.

Has the press gotten wind of this? They really jump at such accidents.

It's all right. They're just acting.

Ogawa-san, Iguchi-san's wife consulted you about his overwork

several times before the accident, didn't she?

Ogawa Shoko

Tojin Railway, Labour Officer-in-Charge

No, I don't recall.

- Did you not report to the higher-ups? - I don't recall.

- You didn't suggest improvements either? - I don't recall.

- Where do you live? - I don't recall...

Sorry, I wanted to know whether Ogawa-san

takes the Tojin Railway herself so I asked.

In other words, your company ignored the request for improvement to pursue profits...

Ah!

This conversation is so shocking that it surprised my child.

In any case, our client, Iguchi-san's wife is

seeking compensation of 100 million yen from Tojin Railway.

- Half a million. - What?

Not compensation, but consolation money.

No, 100 million to half a million...

Shall we see you in court then?

If that happens,

we will also file a suit for damages to our train carriage.

Everyone, please help yourself.

There's protein, calcium,

iron, vitamins E and B1.

Well, let's go back~

We treat the huge scandal of

Wakisaka Hiromichi

Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Special Investigation Department Head

an incumbent prosecutor arrested for

accepting bribes very seriously.

Well, regarding this matter,

Sasaki Tatsuya

Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Special Investigation Department

we intend to thoroughly pursue it

and drive out all the corruption.

- I see. - Wakisaka-san.

Please look here. This way please.

He's in his heyday, that Wakisaka.

Hasumi Soichiro

Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Special Investigation Department former head

Well, I don't blame him.

He was overtaken by you, his junior.

The head of Special Investigation is a post that he once missed getting.

I will let him fully enjoy it for now.

Hayashi Mikio

Soichiro's lawyer

So, Hayashi-sensei.

How's the matter that I requested?

I've arranged as instructed.

#3 Hidden Trap

Madoka Michiru

Paralegal

Amazing. Did you read all these?

Right? Please praise me more.

Found anything? From Iguchi-san's roster.

No, like what the other party said,

his overtime work was 44.5 hours per month.

It fits too neatly that it seems unnatural instead.

I bet that was the company's instruction to fit overtime work within 45 hours.

But this train carriage looks old. How is Tojin Railway's financial condition?

Not bad. It was in a slump for a period, but

made a V-shaped recovery in the recent few years.

- This is delicious! - Don't go and like it.

The food is innocent.

Um... I've been wondering.

What do you think this "OR" means?

OR?

- Or. - Ah! I'm sorry.

Um, you can't do this. I'll take a message for you.

I don't have time to wait. I'll be late for maternity yoga.

Hey, hide, hide. Hide this.

Thank you for the other day.

What's the matter, Kawai-sensei? Do you feel like paying 100 million?

I came here to advise you as a peer.

Do you know that 3 days before the accident, a general checkup was

- conducted at Tojin Railway? - General checkup?

It's an annual drug test that the company

performs on the crew without notice.

The result of that test is out.

Amphetamine...

Iguchi-san could have been using illegal drugs.

This is always here.

A new one, every time we come.

Is it from his child?

This, this.

No way. He never did drugs!

Iguchi Haruno

Client

In the event of an accident, if we check the inquest report,

we can find out the result at once so please wait a little longer.

But my husband really never did drugs...

The components of other medicines could have been detected.

Just in case, may I borrow all the medicines in your house?

Herbal medicines and supplements too.

I understand.

Be quiet for a bit.

I think my husband recorded down his working hours in a notebook

because he thought that he had to do something about it someday.

He said that all the drivers were tired.

He must have thought that

the long hours of work would become a disaster at this rate.

I should have told him to quit the company earlier.

His only ally was his family, and yet...

Mom, Mom.

She suddenly came with so much luggage.

Hasumi Ayaka

Kyoko's daughter

Kyoko's son

Hasumi Hayato

She definitely intends to stay over.

You see, I thought that I should come and help for a while.

- What? - Kyoko-san, you're having a tough time, right?

With work and family.

Mother-in-law, you really don't have to worry.

I appreciate your kindness.

Hasumi Sachie

Soichiro's mother

You're right.

Sorry.

My husband is dead.

I'm in that big and empty house

every day by myself, you know?

Even if I go out to the garden, not a single cat will come.

I'm always alone so I started to think about various things.

Um... you really don't have to help us.

But if you'd like, please visit us occasionally.

Really? Then, maybe I'll do that.

I'll make some tea.

Kyoko-san, I'm really sorry.

I've thought about it calmly too,

but I won't tell you to forgive Soichiro.

Kyoko-san, please just think of yourself, Hayato and Ayaka.

If you still can't believe me...

There's nothing I can do.

Oh, but may I ask you for a favour?

I brought the items that your mother asked me to.

Sorry, I will tell her to come herself next time.

Mother-in-law doesn't want to see you like this.

I'm an unfilial son and a terrible husband.

Sorry for the other day.

Mother-in-law told me to only think of myself and the children.

- That's fine. - No.

I could have been like that from the start.

You might be suffering here or

you're being so cornered that you got so angry...

I knew that in my head, but in reality, I didn't think about it.
