Ichikei's Crow The Movie (Eiga 'Ichikei no karasu' / 映画 イチケイのカラス)

Yutaka TAKENOUCHI as Michio Iruma

Haru KUROKI as Chizuru Sakama

Seiomaru Captain, Hideaki Shimatani

What's happening? What is this?

Wasn't the Aegis at fault?

The cause has been disclosed.

Isn't it suspicious that the ship logs were lost?

My husband can't have caused this. What are you hiding?

That's enough!

Seize her!

What're you hiding?

Tell me the truth!

Tell me the truth!

Tell the truth!

Defense Minister, Eiji Ujo

Hiomi Township, Okayama Prefecture

Rolling down the river!

Objection!

We wish to fully contest the plaintiff's claims.

Let's call it "The Peach Rolling Uproar."

A monument built by the plaintiff...

into which the defendant's car collided...

dislodging the monument...

then rolled down a hill...

and continued rolling...

and rolling...

until it split in two.

The accident was unavoidable.

At the scene, cargo had fallen from a Shikihama plant truck...

recovery in progress.

The defendant had to veer suddenly to avoid it.

Moreover, the spillage... stirred up dust blocking visibility.

Of all the stupid things.

It's all asphalt. There's no dirt there!

She ignored a "No Entry" sign.

But the defendant swears she saw a dust cloud.

She's a driver with no record of traffic violations.

This is not driver error due to age.

Your Honor? Are you asleep?

Wake up, Your Honor!

On this trial hangs the pride of a "gold license" holder!

My apologies.

Hello! Hello.

Good afternoon! Hello.

Hello!

Good afternoon! Hello.

Tired of this podunk town yet?

Course not.

Hello, Counselor! Hi.

Come to our town meeting.

Awful debut trial?

Yes, despite all of your help making the model.

You can gripe to me about it later.

I definitely will.

Thanks for this.

Doctor, please take a look.

What's wrong? Heat stroke, maybe?

Wait up!

Dr. Kobayakawa?

Hi Meg. Hello.

Here.

I won the factory scholarship!

Congratulations!

I'll study to succeed you someday.

I'm counting on it.

Ms. Sakama, my mom has pickled herring for you.

Thanks. How about me?

Doctor, Ms. Sakama, duck!

Hey, stop that!

Brats!

You two look like a mom and daughter.

I think you mean "sisters," don't you?

Yes, I'll try to be more careful.

Ms. Sakama, these were unsold.

And this one's on me.

Thanks as always.

We're home. Welcome back.

"Closed"

"Hiomi Law Office"

I'm numbed by everyone's kindness.

Welcome back.

Hey, why the long face?

One case in the 3 months I've been here.

My talent's going to waste.

Not your vanity.

Even my one case came from a request for your help.

It's a small town.

Even so, shouldn't there be more?

Maybe they're going to the other guy.

The 6-month newbie?

I hear he's handsome.

Maybe I'll seek his advice.

Yeah? About what?

My husband puts socks in the wash inside out.

You'd sue for that? Hiomi Law.

Ms. Obana.

What do you mean...

you want a different lawyer?

I may lack real world experience as a lawyer...

but in knowledge and processing power, I'm second to none!

My contact lens.

It fell out? Yes.

Ms. Tome.

Come help, Counselor Tsukimoto.

Your watermelon. Thanks.

You're "him."

Contacts?

The guy stealing my clients.

She just asked if I could win.

I hear he's a very distinguished lawyer.

Not that distinguished.

Just talking to retired factory workers.

You are? Rookie?

Special Judiciary Assistant.

I spent 8 years on the bench as a judge.

I'm sure you know all judges spend 2 of 10 years...

broadening their horizons in a development program...

which I don't need given my background.

But rules are rules, and the weak need...

legal rescue. The weak, huh?

Need legal rescue?

I bet you were student body president, too.

All three levels.

Found it! Oh, thank you.

It's not that simple being a lawyer.

I'm aware of that. That's why I chose this.

Then it's decided.

Get back my gold license, the two of you together.

Make a vow.

What brought you here?

Ah, can't discuss it with lawyers.

I met a guy at a bar who says he'd been harassed into retirement.

Power harassment?

Hearing there were others, I had to.

Please let me help!

You know it's the local Shikihama plant.

It employs 70 percent of the people in this region.

If you want friends...

Don't ruffle any feathers?

I aim to be someone the people here can rely on.

Hey, Mister!

Too much of the righteousness gene, "Chairman?"

Please don't call me that.

But you'll find my capabilities to be of certain utility.

Awesome!

You interest me, Ms. Sakama.

Are you free... this weekend?

Are you... asking me out?

Yes.

This was your aim?

I'm counting on you.

Why are you here, Mr. Ide?

Why's my husband here, you mean?

Itoko? Husband?

Elite prosecutor. Good catch.

We met when I was a district court clerk.

I hate workplace marriages but I compromised.

Compromised?

"That guy" drives prosecutors crazy.

So many victims.

So my husband's here as watchdog.

It's not normal.

It's not too late to... To what?

Out with it.

Fight later.

Who is "that guy?"

No way! Why're you here?

Oh my God.

It can't be. It's not possible.

What terrible luck.

Why're you here, Mr. Iruma?

I was posted to the Akina Branch.

Right?

Yes.

What about you?

I'm practicing law in Hiomi.

Neighboring branches, huh? Different districts.

Safe.

That's my "safe."

You two seem chummy. What?

Beware when taking on Ms. Sakama.

She's big-headed and lectures a lot.

You should talk. I hear your district's a mess.

Is it?

Look.

Disorderly conduct in court, conduct unbecoming a judge.

Chairman!

Back to base!

Hidden ball trick?

You're out!

Yes!

Game, set...!

And match!

Chizuru Sakama, you're out!

Michio Iruma.

Everyone's gone their separate ways.

Yet an ill fate links those two.

Ms. Sakama quickly sent them a homemade manual.

Rural branches handle all civil and criminal cases.

My sympathies all around.
