YASUZÔ MASUMURA

Is it you? The girl that wants to see the chairman?

- That's right. - What is it about?

I'll pass it on to him.

The university's chairman is pretty full of himself.

He doesn't even want to meet with me?

He's in the middle of a very important meeting right now.

So it's totally impossible, then?

That's correct.

So what are you, then?

The chairman's secretary. The name's Ishido.

Whatever.

- I'll just speak to you then. - Very well.

Well, to tell the truth, the chairman's son raped me.

Raped?

When I was walking along the coast at night, a sports car stopped nearby.

The driver said he'd give me a ride to the station.

I jumped in without thinking, and he parked in some odd place and attacked me.

When was this?

Three days ago.

When I got the police to look up the number plate,

I found out that the owner was the son of this university's chairman.

Were you really raped?

Do I look like a woman that lies?

Look at these scars!

Bruises everywhere!

If you still don't believe me, we can take it to court.

I'll go to the police, and press charges.

I understand.

I'll discuss it with the chairman, and we'll investigate the matter--

That's totally unnecessary. Everything happened like I said!

So what is it you want, then?

I want 2 million yen.

DECLARATION OF WAR

Signatures! Signatures please!

We need your signatures!

- Good luck. - Thanks.

2 million yen?

- That's extortion. - Should I refuse?

If we do, she'll get the police involved.

The university's facing a mountain of problems right now.

There's a lot we have to change,

but the students are against my policies.

"The chairman is reactionary! Impotent!

Hurry up and resign!" they're shouting.

Just see what'll happen if this incident reaches the papers. More fodder for them.

What about taking the students' opinions into consideration?

If I balk even once, I'll have to approve all their demands.

I know students have ideals, but I do too, you know.

It's thanks to my developments that made this university what it is today.

As if I'd let the students have free reign of it!

What is it, Akie?

I came to see him.

What's wrong? You're both looking terribly serious.

Let's go to your house tonight, with Yukio.

We'll hear the details from him, and decide on what stance we'll take.

We can get Akie's view on it too, as Yukio's older sister.

Right, so...you actually did rape that girl, didn't you?

You're blowing it out of proportion.

Everyone does it like that.

- It's no big deal. - Don't be a fool. Rape is a serious crime.

If charges are pressed, I'll have to resign as chairman.

Why don't you, then?

The students string you up all year anyway.

Idiot! If I quit, the university will fall to pieces!

I'm the only one that can fix the problems there right now.

I'm putting my life on the line here, no thanks to you.

It's like you're trying to strangle your own father.

Don't put all the blame on Yukio.

The woman's at fault, too. She got in his car all by herself...

That's right! I thought she really wanted to do it.

I raised this boy in place of our dead mother.

He's a kind-hearted, normal young man.

This happened because the woman was out of control.

That's not how she looked.

And you know about women, then?

Leave this problem to me. I'll sort it out.

Thanks very much! Please come again.

Hey, Michi!

The customer at number 7 just left.

Clean it up already.

Michi!

I'm feeling drowsy.

Maybe I'm sick.

- Maybe I should see a doctor. - You're partying too much.

You didn't come home last night either. Where did you stay?

What does it matter where?

Being my granddaughter doesn't mean I'll go easy on you.

You're lodging here, but I'm giving you 50,000 yen every month.

Get your ass into gear!

I want a car.

- I got my license and everything... - Quit your sleep talking, and get it together!

Ah!

My friend's here. I'll be back in a little while.

What is it?

Thank you for the other day.

So? Will you give me the 2 million yen, or not?

We'd like to go along with your request.

Could you visit my house this evening?

- Your house? - Yukio is my brother-in-law.

The chairman entrusted the handling of this incident to me.

So...you're the chairman's son-in-law?

Alright, then.

I can't begin to apologize for what my brother did the other day...

I am truly sorry.

However...I can't give you 2 million yen.

Why not?

According to our family's lawyer, 2 million is simply too much money.

1 million is evidently more than enough.

No deal.

It has to be 2 million.

I won't go a penny less.

If that's the case, then go ahead and press charges - sue us, if you like.

You keep going on about "rape", but it's a hard thing to prove, you know.

If a woman vehemently resists, the man isn't able to perform properly...

Are you calling me a slut?

I wouldn't go as far as to say that, but it happens often:

giving herself over to the man, and then using it as a means of extortion.

It's possible that that's how the court will see it, and declare Yukio innocent.

Even if it's declared as rape,

how much do you expect to receive?

Not even 500,000 yen, I imagine.

What are you going on about?

If your brother loved me, I'd have no problem with him sleeping with me. I wouldn't ask for money.

But being seen as a hussy, and violated as a result,

is terribly humiliating!

You're just like him.

What kind of person do you think I am?

In any case, we can only give you 1 million yen.

My husband will deliver it to you tomorrow,

but if you find it objectionable, would you kindly return it?

Yes.

Whatever you say.

So...

how much was it in the end?

2 million, as we thought.

- I see. Very well. - Akie is opposed to it.

If she asks you, tell her that you gave the woman 1 million.

Alright. I just want this over and done with.

Good evening.

2 million yen, in cash.

I hope this will make you forget about this incident.

2 million yen?!

- So it wasn't 1 million after all? - We thought about it...

and decided to go with your demands. - Who thought about it?

There's no way it was your wife.

Nor the chairman, either.

I know!

- It was you. - It doesn't matter who it was.

Why did you give me 2 million yen?

I felt sorry for you.

I see...so your wife agreed?

No...she doesn't know.

You're quite the gentleman!

- Can you accept it? - Of course.

I was ready to send the cash back, and take it to court, though...

Well, if you'll excuse me.

Wait!

- Take me to a fancy hotel! - A hotel?

You know a good place, right?

I'll go get changed - take me there!

- Do you like the room? - Very much so.

I wonder what the bathroom's like.

I'll be heading home, then.

I've got work to do, so I'll take my leave.

So...what do you think?

- Aren't I wonderful? - You have charm, I suppose.

- Hold me! - Is this thanks for the 2 million?

- No! I like you! - I don't believe you.

It's true! I've fallen for you. I can't hold it in anymore.

You're overdoing it a bit.

I'm not glamorous enough for you?

I don't have any sex appeal...

Well...

just a kiss, then!

Take me to the bed!

Are you going already?

There he goes.

Welcome home.

- So what happened with her? - She accepted the 1 million yen.

I knew it.

Yukiko's here, with her fiancé.

Fiancé?

Yukiko! It's been so long!

- This is...? - Ichiro Akizuki.

- An engineer at my office. - Pleased to meet you.

- You too. - He's terribly bright.

- They say he'll be company director! - I'm not that much of a big wig.
