Unhandy Handyman (不便な便利屋)

Mother, I'm in the town in Hokkaido right now.

Since somebody stole my backpack that my wallet and cellphone was in,

I'm trapped in this town.

Even though they're handymen, all they get is the ploughing or dog-walking.

It's the story about a young screenwriter who is the sport of irresponsible people nowhere in Hokkaido.

It's fiction

Inconvenient handymen

We do anything! Handyman

I injured my face.

Episode 2

I hate that stupid dog.

Kidnapping?

That's right. Some organization kidnapped a daughter of a wealthy family.

What's some organization?

He said that it was the secret organization.

The secret organization?

It...It seems to be very serious.

What? Kidnapping?

Yes, kidnapping.

Wait a second.

I'm confused.

Kidnapping is a crime!

That's not the point. Can you shut up?

We can't do anything that we get busted.

That's not what I'm talking about.

If you have some information about kidnapping, let's go to the police station.

That's not the point. It's a high-paid job!

Are you sure that we won't get involved in a trouble?

Instead of involving in a trouble, why don't you look for my backpack?

I told you that I would do that when I have time!

You just say so, but don't do anything.

I have no desire to stay at this town.

I want to go to Furano.

Then, go now!

I can't since I lost my backpack.

My wallet and cellphone are in it too.

We do anything for people in this town?

Please let us know your problem? It's bullshit.

Handymen aren?t very handy.

Ah, that car...

Are you Umemoto-san?

It seems to be dangerous.

He is a mysterious man.

He's never told us what he did before coming to this town.

It's been a while since we got a request other than the ploughing.

Are you sure that I can handle that?

Don't worry. We're handymen!

I know that we're handymen but...

We say that we do anything, right?

However, I feel heavy when I think that we'll be involved in kidnapping...

This is Diamond Dust Co.

What? Dog?

We'll do anything, yes.

However, our schedule is full today.

Can you wait until tomorrow?

Yes. Thank you for your call.

What was a request?

A dog is missing.

See? All we get is such a worthless request.

Instead, we can be a hero!

This is Diamond Dust Co.

What?

It's not good.

What's wrong?

I totally forgot a request of the ploughing of Kato residence.

We barely have enough time to go there.

I think that we're late.

Why doesn't he give up already?...

You're stubborn.

It's enough!

Let's go!

How about him?

Don't worry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Ready?

Welcome.

Hello.

It's too cold to walk outside.

Don't you feel like your ears are about to come off?

Local usually drive here. They don't take a walk outside.

Only tourists do that.

In Sapporo, they have a huge underground passage.

All rich people don't walk outside in winter.

Since they prefer walking the underground, they made that passage...

May I order a hot coffee?

What?

Hot coffee.

Hot coffee? Of course! Nobody wants to drink an ice coffee in this cold day, right?

I want this original blend coffee.

Original blend?

Is this hot coffee?

That's right, it's original blend hot coffee. Are you sure that you want original blend?

What?s different between original blend and espresso?

It's totally different.

Really?

So, you want avant-garde?

Avant-garde?

You want to order avant-garde coffee, right?

If you recommend that...

All right, certainly.

I'll tell you that anybody walking outside at this time of the year is...

You've already told me that. Can you make a coffee instead?

Should I?

I'm very cold.

Are you? All right?

Hot coffee, right?

Yes, please.

Hot!!!

Missing?

Yes. She is nowhere to be seen.

What's going on?

She may have been kidnapped.

Kidnapped?

Since she is my only daughter, I'm very worried.

Was an only daughter kidnapped?

Ah, I don't have any money.

Excuse me, can I cancel my order?

I'll be back!

Hey, wait! Are you running away without paying?!

Ah, he hasn't drunk yet.

He is a funny guy.

Seriously? Was that kidnapping story a true story?

More importantly, I lost my backpack.

I have to get out of this town as soon as possible.

Yes, I should go to the police station!

I see...

So, where did you have your backpack stolen?

Well, it may not be stolen.

It must be a case of burglary, right?

Otherwise, I'd have no motivation.

I won't look for your backpack.

You fill out this document, and that's it!

Your backpack will never be found.

It'll be troubled.

Then, why don't I handle this as an incident?

However, I don't think that this is an incident.

An incident hardly happens in this rural town.

Those who visit here are mostly old people who want to chat with me.

That's fun on my own. I like it.

But I have zero motivation as a policeman, you know?

Even though it's just a lost article, I want to handle that as an incident.

Then, I can boost my motivation.

In terms of results, your backpack will be found sooner.

Don't you think so?

Yes...

Okay, this is a case of burglary.

Tell me your blood type and a zodiac sign.

What's this?

He is a wanted criminal.

It has nothing to do with this rural town.

Kidnapping incident?

Since he covers his face, we don't know what he looks like.

Some organization kidnapped a daughter of a wealthy family.

What's wrong? You suddenly became hyper.

Handymen were talking about a kidnapping story.

Handymen? Ah, do you stay there?

It's difficult to explain my situation.

Do you know Umemoto-san who lives there?

Batsu-san, right?

What's wrong with him?

He's been stalked by suspicious people.

They seem to be in danger.

In the first place, Umemoto-san looks suspicious too.

What are you talking about?

This kidnapping incident,

I think that those handymen get involved in this incident.

Since they do nothing but the ploughing, they have the financial difficulty.

So, did they commit kidnapping?

However, this happened in Tokyo.

That was what I was thinking.

Kidnapping? No way!

However, there was a man who told a friend that his daughter was kidnapped.

And this poster.

I don't think that those handymen are evil people.

That's right. They're not the principal offenders.

They can't do that.

It was planned by the big organization.

They're in a terminal position and were ordered to hide a daughter of a wealthy family.

That was why that suspicious black car came.

Hey, can you give me a break?

This incident is too big for me to handle.

My motivation is decreased.

You're a policeman, aren't you?!

You ask for too much.

I should contact H.Q.

No, you can't!

The fate of the hostage depends on you.

You never know where the information leaks out from.

However, you heard a kidnapping story in a cafe too, right?

Everybody may have known that kidnapping story by now.

Let's solve this incident by ourselves.

I have no confidence!

I'm a screenwriter.

What?

I write a story for drama.

I always write a story with my imagination.

However, real experience is the best source.

I always thought that I wanted to have such an experience.

I see, you?re a screenwriter.
