Vacation
Did I nod off?
Sorry.
It's OK.
Anything interesting out there?
Inspection.
Cell 3, your ID.
Cell 3, 1 inmate.
"Makoto Kaneda, Cell 3"
Confirmed.
Cell 3, 1 inmate.
Wing 1, Floor 2. 19 inmates, confirmed!
At ease.
Meal.
Good morning, breakfast time.
Here.
It's hot.
So my wife's nervous and begins instructing me.
Like "You can't wear that sweatshirt."
Am I supposed to wear a suit?
It's strange to wear a suit
when your son brings home a girl!
I hardly ever wear suits.
Your wife must be excited.
Yes, my son with a girl!
My wife made me nervous too with her nagging.
Ah, you're finished.
You're done, then.
You must be tired... How's the new guy doing?
He's a bit more used to being here now.
He might get sick again though.
Make sure you take care of him.
Yes.
And... where was I?
You were saying... that you got nervous.
That's right, I got nervous.
I put on my good shirt and waited for my son to come home.
And then he came home.
He had brought along someone...
it was a guy.
Oh, that's bad!
Sorry, you know what I mean.
I felt dizzy... I didn't want to find out that way.
He was fair-skinned and cute too.
I almost started to cry.
Otsuka.
Here.
Got a minute?
OK.
I have to go.
OK, go ahead.
Thank you.
Then I learned that he was just a good friend from high school.
My wife had just misunderstood the whole situation.
I worried for nothing.
Anyway Hirai, how old is her son?
He's 6.
Oh, 6 years old.
You'll have your ups and downs but just don't push it.
Just take it as it comes.
Oh, no. We're late.
Turn off the TV, Sakamoto.
Hey, Sakamoto?
Sakamoto.
Turn the TV off, Otsuka.
OK.
Is it OK?
It's time.
Excuse me, Sakamoto.
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry.
Time to work.
I know that! But you didn't have to turn it off.
We have 5 minutes.
He doesn't get it.
What's wrong with them? Pushing me around...
What was I doing again?
Get me my cap, will you?
Can't even watch TV...
Is he alright?
After years in here, we all get like that.
Just kidding.
So, your son's gay then!
Whose son do you think you're calling gay?
But... isn't that what you said?
Forget it. Go get the morning report.
Yes.
It's your big weekend.
I'm sorry you have to cover for me.
Don't apologize. We're all happy for you.
You lucky man.
I should have waited longer...
Busy at work?
Same as usual.
Isn't it mentally tiring?
You get used to anything.
Which one is it?
Hi, Mom!
It's Eri.
Good evening.
Good evening.
I thought you said you'd come home early.
I couldn't. The game's tomorrow.
Is home? - No.
Didn't he call you?
Don't think so.
Oh, I'm so tired.
- Get changed right away. - Yep.
Another bottle?
Don't push him. Tomorrow's a big day.
What time tomorrow?
2pm... We should leave at 1.
There's no problem then.
I should stop around here.
These days I often have hangovers.
Listen to Toru. He's finally got round to meeting somebody.
Don't ruin it.
That's overdramatic.
Let's have one more bottle.
One beer, coming up.
It's a lovely day.
And a lucky one too.
I've got a good feeling.
Oh, me too.
Mika, you've never left Takasu?
I've lived here all my life.
Oh, that's the same as me then.
Toru left once to go to university.
Why don't you speak for yourself?
You're good at drawing.
Tatsuya, he just gave you a compliment.
You work at a printing company, don't you?
I'm an office clerk.
I'm a temp, not a fulltime employee.
You don't get any benefits when you're a temp...
Won't you go fulltime?
My husband...
When my ex-husband died
I needed to find work.
So I registered with a temp staff agency.
Mom.
I want to pee...
Again?
Excuse us.
Come on.
It's OK.
Are you sure?
He's self-reliant, isn't he?
Well...
Mr. Hirai, you have a secure job as a public servant.
If Mika could remarry a man like you
I'd feel so relieved.
She has to look after Tatsuya too, so she needs someone.
I don't know if Toru is exactly solid...
As his sister, I can assure you that he's very earnest.
And there's nothing more important than that.
You see Mika's last marriage didn't strike me as happy...
Now she's finally met a wonderful man like Toru.
I couldn't be happier...
What about the wedding?
It's too early to...
This is my second time so...
You should have a reception.
It's your second time but it's the first for Mr. Hirai.
We'll have a small one.
Yes, just a small one.
What about a honeymoon?
I don't know about that...
Besides, when Mother died
I used up all my paid holidays,
so I can't have a long break.
Well the honeymoon can wait until later.
Sounds like everything is decided already.
I know.
Mr. Hirai, stretch out your legs and relax.
Yes.
Kaneda.
Did you fill out the request form?
Yes.
I'll open the door.
The form.
Have you been drawing again?
No...
Have you seen his drawings?
No, not yet.
Can you show him your sketches?
This is incredible!
You don't use colors?
That's what he prefers.
Exercise in the afternoon.
You can draw in the evening.
Later.
Tokita.
I'll open the door.
Kaneda had some magazine photos
hidden in the sketchbook.
Turn a blind eye to it, okay?
