Legal V (リーガルV)

Everything has an end.

But I'll surely protect...

the noble Light of Hope...

and Mineshima Industrial that Dad left with me.

I, Mineshima Shotaro...

Why?

As his wife, we've supported each other for 40 years.

He didn't leave anything to me.

I'm very sorry.

You've already gotten divorced two years ago.

Since he has no will and no spouse,

all his estate worth 20 billion yen...

will be inherited by his only son,

President Mineshima Shotaro, according to the law.

The inheritance shall be used...

for the further development of Mineshima Industrial.

It doesn't matter who inherits it.

Excuse me.

Mr. President.

A suspicious woman came to the funeral.

What are you doing?

How can you open the hall for just anyone?

May I ask who you are?

President Kyosuke took care of me before.

I'm Rena.

Where did this bar hostess come from?

It's late.

Please go home after lighting the incense.

But regarding the inheritance...

Inheritance?

What are you talking about?

I'm the late Mineshima Kyosuke's wife.

Wife?

Excuse me.

According to this certificate,

the marriage application has indeed been accepted.

October 26.

One day before President Mineshima Ryosuke...

passed away.

One-night billionaire wife with a 50-year age gap.

That's my type.

The President's time of death is October 27, at 3am.

The local government received the marriage application...

at 11pm the night before.

That means they've only been married for four hours.

She became a billionaire in four hours of marriage.

According to the law, the 20 billion yen estate...

would be inherited equally...

by his wife and his only son, right?

Her hourly rate as a wife was 2.5 billion yen.

In this case, it's normal for the family to sue her.

The plaintiff claims that the marriage is invalid...

and that she has no right to the inheritance.

However, Rena is very clever.

She's not your friend, is she?

She's a hostess at a high-end club in Ginza.

We've participated in many soirées together before.

You're quite close then.

I'll let her buy me some sushi next time.

I also love sushi.

Me too. Her husband is dead. Rena is single now.

Are you all stupid?

This is not the time to talk about sushi.

Takanashi, you want to eat Western food?

You've completely missed the point.

I'm not talking about food at all!

What are you talking about then?

The one-night wife who's supposed to inherit billions of yen...

is now being sued.

If we can win, how much do you think we'll get in commission?

Based on the contract, we might get a huge commission!

Let's have a luxury tour at the Ginza!

Ask your rich friend to treat us.

Cheers! - Cheers!

Please sit down. - Please sit down.

Excuse me. - Let me pour the drinks.

Relax, Pochi!

Hey. - Here.

Ito, why are you just standing there?

I heard that...

each seat costs 50,000 yen, so I don't dare to sit down.

Somebody else is paying anyway. Sit down.

Hey, the stalker doesn't drink, right?

I've already decided to only drink with Ms. Rena.

Whatever. Is the billionaire not here yet?

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. This is Ms. Rena.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I became famous since I was reported by the magazine.

I got a lot of client requests.

You're really tough.

The way you talk is very straightforward.

Rena is the legal wife.

It's only natural for her to get her husband's estate.

Let me tell you first. I didn't date him for his money.

We had a good relationship that turned from courtesy to love.

Is your age gap 50 years?

My grandma brought me up. I love older men.

Your target age range is really broad.

Why are they suing me?

You're right.

Akira, do you have close friends who are lawyers?

What a coincidence. There are three lawyers here today.

Really? Can you help me then?

I may only have minimal years of experience,

but I help the weak. I'm Aoshima.

I may only be a new lawyer,

but I was previously a righteous professor. I'm Kyogoku.

I was once a talented prosecutor. I'm Otaka.

Who would you like to choose? Please make your choice.

Then I'll choose...

She's coming.

She's coming.

Atty. Kyogoku.

I'm in bliss.

She likes older men indeed.

Let's negotiate the fee and commission then.

Since it's the first time, do it for free then.

We don't provide such service.

There's a huge amount involved in this case.

We'll collect the fee and commission accordingly.

I can't pay the fee. Can't I just pay the commission?

Then we'll get 30 percent of the commission.

All right. Take out the fee and set the commission to five percent.

With five percent commission, you can already get five billion yen.

That's already a lot.

I never expected that you'd be so smart.

It's a deal then. Let's toast.

We should get more wine.

It's so great to have someone famous treat us!

I didn't say that it's my treat.

What? - What?

According to the rules, the minimal consumption is 700,000 yen.

Who can afford that?

That lawyer from the funeral home.

Atty. Kaizaki and Atty. Shiratori?

So they're the plaintiff's lawyers.

They must have come here to collect information.

Takanashi, are you practicing law illegally without a license?

I'll strictly monitor you.

Do you know the law?

You don't need to be a lawyer to drink.

Are we up against each other again?

Thank you.

Because you sued her,

my colleagues have gotten a good case.

That woman made an unreasonable request.

She already caused a lot of trouble for President Mineshima.

You haven't changed at all, corporate guard dog.

The corporation is more important than a woman.

Don't you think that point of view is too funny?

The law would prove who is correct.

I accept your challenge.

Even though I want to say that,

I don't have a license to practice law.

According to the plaintiff,

President Mineshima didn't have any intention to get married.

That's why they filed the case...

claiming that the marriage is invalid.

How funny.

President Mineshima was the one who wanted to get married.

Can you tell us about how you got married?

I became a nurse when I came to Tokyo from my hometown.

President Mineshima went for a check-up two years ago...

and became my patient.

Was it really a coincidence?

How rude are you.

You're just an administrator. Don't interrupt.

No, she exudes the vibe of a liar.

Don't mind her. Please continue.

President Mineshima was an especially warm person.

After I told him I wanted to send money to my parents,

he said I can work part-time while being a nurse.

So he recommended me to work at the club in Ginza...

where he's a frequent customer.

Let's toast.

Cheers. - Cheers.

Slowly, he started telling me about his son and his company.

I also started taking care of him.

He even prepared a room for me. And also gave me a huge allowance.

President Mineshima loved me so much.

A month ago,

he asked the maid and the driver to take a long leave.

We started having our honeymoon.

President Mineshima, what's the matter?

However...

After a week, his condition worsened.

He got hospitalized.

He was sad that his son and his staff never visited him.

He wants to leave his estate to me, so he asked me to marry him.

Was the marriage application also filed while he was hospitalized?

Yes.

He told me to submit it before he dies.

He died the next day I submitted it to the government.

It seems too perfect.

How do I put it? It still feels like a lie.

Did President Mineshima really sign on the marriage application...

on his own accord?

What exactly is she doing here?

No, she's just a bit more frank that most people.

Don't worry.
