Onna wa Sore o Yurusanai (女はそれを許さない)

He was a lawyer who only thought about serving others.

Yes, he was giving advice until he collapsed at the very end.

I wonder if Urara's working hard like her dad in Tokyo.

Urara, are you leaving already?

I can't take any more time off from my part-time job.

I see.

You hang in there.

Can't I

just stay here?

No, you can't.

Where am I going to stay when I visit Tokyo?

Regretting isn't going to change anything.

All rise.

Bow.

Court is now in session.

Temp workers, please process the mail.

You know that woman Iwasaki? She's so slow, don't you think?

But I heard she has a law degree and she's a licensed attorney.

No way! Seriously?

Can someone like her be an attorney?

She's past 30 and still a temp. She's done, huh?

Her days are probably numbered here too.

If the plaintiff is claiming that the defendant is infringing on their patent,

please submit the evidence as such. I rest my case.

Counsel for the plaintiff, please.

I hereby submit Exhibit 105 for the plaintiff.

This is the design chart of the endoscope

being utilized by the defendant.

A witness' signature is affixed here as well.

This is the design chart of the endoscope being utilized by Force Japan.

Each of the lens part

was enlarged and traced,

which I have here.

As you can see,

the defendant's patent infringement is apparent.

Rinka-san, where did you get that documentary evidence?

You don't need to know.

But...

Rinka-san...

Thank you for providing the inside information.

Thank you very much. Bye.

Congratulations.

It's amazing that she overturned that case.

I bet she resorted to questionable practices this time too.

Congratulations on your victory.

You always surprise me.

Well done.

Hey.

Don't think you can keep getting away with your high-handed ways.

Katsuragi!

Tell her you're the top dog.

You're in a festive mood, but don't forget.

It's your turn to interview next week.

I don't foresee anyone useful coming anyway.

Just remember, I reminded you.

Kids are nice too, but I've decided to devote my life to work.

Now's the time to advance in your career.

Women's value is decided by age, right?

I don't want my family to be my whole life.

When the little one starts preschool, I'm going back to work.

Right?

You're both amazing.

Urara, you're the one who's amazing. You're a licensed attorney.

Aren't you going back?

Well, it's not that easy.

That's right. You've got a debt to pay back, huh?

How much more do you have?

Just a little over 500,000, I think.

Actually, I still have 1,570,000 left.

Dad,

do I still have time?

Hey! Can't you tell you're being deceived?!

And you call yourself a lawyer?!

You're making a mistake!

Hey! Try saying something!

Come on, say something!

Iwasaki!

Hey! Iwasaki!

Iwasaki-san?

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

I'm fine.

Can you tell us what kind of cases you'd like to take on if you join our firm?

I would like to work as a paralegal.

You want to be an assistant even though you're a licensed attorney?

Yes.

What were you doing for a year and a half after you left your previous job?

I've been working part-time jobs

to pay back the student loan for law school.

I'm sorry. It's our error.

There must have been some mistake during the application screening process.

I'm afraid you're not fit to work at our firm with this kind of experience.

I may not have the experience, but I have knowledge of the law...

Why did you get licensed to practice law?

Never mind. Thank you.

Excuse me...

What now?

The reason I became an attorney

is because I wanted to be of help to people, or rather...

Nonsense.

The reason I became an attorney is

because I wanted to be of help...

Good morning.

Rinka-san.

Do you have a minute?

There's been several deposits made to the deposit account

that supposedly only you know about.

Teiwa Shoji

is the rival company of one of our valued clients.

Weren't you getting paybacks for leaking proprietary data?

Wait a minute.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I've been letting you get away with your risky ways until now

because I thought it was advantageous for the firm.

However, this matter

can cause a huge loss for us.

Ebisawa.

Does your silence mean you're admitting to it?

Even if you deny it, we can't employ you here anymore.

Are you of the same opinion, Director Ito?

He is.

If you didn't have the backing of Saint, you would've been crushed a long time ago.

That sounds to me like

you're saying I, personally, don't have the capability.

You heard right. You're, after all,

nothing more than Saint's hired hand.

The client is on their way now.

- If you have any explanation... - They won't be likely to listen to me.

That goes without saying!

We're going to request a disciplinary action from the bar association

In that case, both this place and the bar association,

I'll take the liberty of resigning first!

You have the capability, but

trust is everything in this field.

Rinka-san.

- You don't have to quit... - Dismissed?!

To hell with that. I'll decide what to do with myself.

Rinka-san. Even so, why pull out of the bar association too?

If you do that, you won't be able to practice law, you know.

- At least wait for the disciplinary... - That won't be necessary.

There are three bar associations in Tokyo.

I just have to re-register at a different one and get back to work, that's all.

Even if you were to register, you need two attorneys to refer you.

Who's going to be on your side...

Notice of Nonselection

Hey, are you listening?

Remember what you said? You said you'd help me out anytime.

All you have to do is give me a referral. I'll bring you profitable cases...

You understand, don't you? No one wants to get involved with you right now.

We don't want any trouble.

Katsuragi Yuji

- Thanks, that was good. - Thank you.

No one touches the last piece, huh?

For some reason, there's always one left.

Then I'll take it.

Who even made up this menu...

What?

I was just wondering why gyoza comes in 6's.

Ebisawa-san?

From Saint?

Everyone seems to be okay with it.

But no pets were allowed to start out with, right?

That's why I want you to negotiate with the landlord.

Well, it's going to be difficult in a rental, but

shall we start a petition?

Do we really need a petition?

Maiko-san, tea please.

You went all over the place but was refused.

I heard the rumor.

Frankly, I can't refer you that easily just because you're my junior.

I can hire you as a clerk until you win your trust back, though.

All we get are cheap cases. I don't think we can afford to hire more help.

Don't worry. I decline the offer.

It's not that I want a job with this office.

- I just need a referral so that I can get back to... - You're not trustworthy,

nor are you licensed.

You came here to get that back.

Isn't that right?

If you insist on doing the work of an attorney,

you can pair up with a lawyer who's qualified to stand in court.

Let's see...

10 should do it. If you can get 10 clients

to thank you from the bottom of their heart for the work you did,

I'll give you a referral.

I'll do something about the other referral too.

Nonsense.

Just double checking, but

Oba-san, you wouldn't happen to have a license to practice law, would you?

Boss, are you hiring her?

- Ebisawa-san. - Who are you?

I'm Takiguchi Taisuke, 25.

I'm still doing my legal apprenticeship here.

Believe it or not, I'm hoping to be a judge.

Why did you "tut" just now?

Why?

That 50 million in question,

that wasn't you.

So, are you going to work at that office?

Even then,

I still have to find an attorney to team up with.
