"144)}FSA Inspection 293)}Final Hearing Investigation" "223)}Day of" "Hanzawa and his team were on their way to the site of the final hearing investigation that was to determine the fate of Tokyo Chuo Bank and Iseshima Hotel." "Hanzawa had found out that behind the 12 billion loss and had joined forces." "Hanzawa was almost removed from Iseshima Hotel as their banker in charge." "he somehow managed to overcome the mock inspection and escaped being removed." "There's no one in this bank but us who's more qualified to be in charge of Iseshima Hotel." "no holds barred." "I'll screw you back." "It's double payback!" "Faced with the impending final showdown at Hanzawa believed that there was only one way to save" "Tokyo Chuo Bank and Iseshima Hotel." "was that secret plan..." "We will now begin the final hearing investigation in regards to the credit judgment of Iseshima Hotel." "205)}42 Hours Ago" "Kondo?" "I just tracked down the residence of" "Lafite's woman president." "on the nameplate..." "Owada?" "!" "Owada's involved in" "Tamiya Electric's illegal practice too." "I could hardly believe it myself." "Who'd have thought Executive Director Owada was involved in our company's problems." "In other words... the 30 million that Kyobashi Branch loaned to Tamiya Electric 5 years was diverted immediately thereafter to an apparel company called Lafite. happens to be Executive Director Owada's wife." "Was it an indirect loan?" "An indirect loan is a fraudulent act of making a loan through its normal customer who would not normally qualify for a bank loan." "the Kyobashi Branch Manager who approved the loan at the time was Director Kishikawa." "It stands to reason that Owada gave him the orders to do it." "So that means he used Tamiya Electric to divert funds to this could prove to be a crucial piece of information to bring Owada down." "Hanzawa." "right?" "the first thing you guys need to do right now is get through the FSA inspection." "you're liable to get tripped up." "Kondo." "Do you think you can get President Tamiya to testify?" "and was saddled with a meaningless debt of 30 million yen." "I'm sure President Tamiya isn't too pleased about it." "We can use his testimony as evidence to bring Owada down." "I was planning to persist until President Tamiya gave me a clear answer anyway." "I'm counting on you." "Hanzawa. that one method is the only one that's left for us." "this is a huge project that should be undertaken by a department like Corporate Finance under normal circumstances." "But that's not possible right now." "he'll crush it for sure." "We'll have to do it ourselves in secret." "right?" "Okay." "Hanzawa." "I'll assume complete responsibility for Foster." "Tomari." "Don't worry." "I wanted to be a banker so that I could work on big projects like this with foreign companies." "finally..." "I can fulfill that dream." "It's for my best buddy." "I'll do anything." "We didn't become bankers to clean up after the mess of the folks at the top who did whatever they pleased during the bubble era. all our efforts will remain unrewarded." "man. let's show them what that is." "President Yuasa." "I found the one and only way to save your hotel." "What I'm about to tell you may be far more harder to take than what Owada and" "Director Hane proposed to you." "President Yuasa." "Please accept Foster's financing offer." "Are you telling me to sell this hotel?" "to Foster of all people!" "They're the very people who ruined our restructuring plan!" "I put myself in your position and thought it over thoroughly." "What I can do." "What I ought to do." "And this is only answer I came up with." "Foster had already been searching for a company to merge and acquire as a foothold to enter the Japanese market." "This proposal is a godsend to them as well." "It's an attractive proposition." "my colleague is working hard to negotiate a merger on equal terms with Foster." "We'll make sure they agree to let you retain your position as a condition of the merger." "the global reservation system owned by the biggest hotel chain in America will be available for your use." "and everything else." "but it's the best solution to enable Iseshima Hotel to make even greater strides in the future." "That's what I firmly believe." "Foster." "There's always the possibility that they might take over completely." "President Yuasa..." "I know you can survive." "You can protect the name of Iseshima Hotel." "I've come to that conclusion as a banker." "Let me think about it for a while." "Of course." "the day after tomorrow is the final day of the FSA inspection." "Please give me your answer by then." "So I only have a little more than a day to decide the fate of this hotel that's been in operation for more than a century." "I'm sorry." "I didn't think I'd be seeing you again." "aren't you?" "but" "I have no intention of stepping down as the banker in charge." "I'm touched that you're so concerned about us." "But you can rest assured." "I will protect this hotel." "I find it hard to believe that you can." "I would think I'm better than the president who was chosen based on a foolish tradition of family-controlled management." "President Yuasa has something that you don't." "What can that be?" "Honesty." "I believe that's the most important thing." "Honesty?" "Do you really think this hotel lasted for 100 years because of something like that? do you want me to tell you all about them? or it stops." "It was the first job the previous president gave me after I started working here." "I've been winding this clock every single day without fail." "The person who kept Iseshima Hotel moving... is me." "A banker who just recently came to be in charge has no right to criticize me." "take this." "Clean the bathroom." "Huh?" "I'm actually pretty tired." "but the house is a pig sty." "I'm sorry about that." "how was Kanazawa?" "Who is it?" "This enemy you're talking about?" "This guy called Owada." "It was fun." "and" " he had a grand ole time." " Oh yeah?" "How about you?" " Isn't the FSA inspection over yet?" " It'll be over soon." "you hear?" "Are those files safe?" "They're safe." "I've got them hidden where they can't be found." "but what if something like the time before happens again?" "That really worries me." "Why don't you just send them off to Kanazawa?" "It's Jiro Ame*!" "the oldest candy shop in Kanazawa" "Looks yummy~." "Can I eat this?" "145)}FSA Inspection 295)}Final Hearing Investigation" "218.231)} Day Before" "Haven't you tracked down the hiding place of the removed files yet?" "I'm sorry." "We're currently conducting a thorough search of their whereabouts after they left Hanzawa's wife's parents' home." "Any indication that a safe-deposit box was used?" " None so far." " I don't care if it's a safe-deposit box or what." "I can think of any reason and ask for disclosure." "Use any means to find them today!" "Do you understand? 490 were found to be sound customers. the remaining 44 should not be classified as effectively bankrupt borrowers either." "that is." "isn't it?" "What does Iseshima Hotel have to say about this?" "I got a proposal from Director Hane the other day to break away from family-controlled management and completely revamp their management policies." " Does that mean President Yuasa will be removed?" " Yes." "I already approached FSA's Chief Inspector Kurosaki in regards to this matter. he agreed to postpone his decision to classify" "Iseshima Hotel as effectively bankrupt for 1 year." " I see." "Then why don't we proceed with that plan?" " However..." "Is there a problem?" "No." "is opposed to that plan." "stop it." "There's no need to hold back." "go ahead." "This is not the time to be currying favor with me." "I shall continue." " Kishikawa-kun!" "Chairman." "We ask that you make a decision to remove Deputy Manager Hanzawa as the banker in charge." "we won't be able to pass the FSA inspection." "that's enough!" " However..." "Kishikawa-kun!" "appointed Deputy Manager Hanzawa!" "Shut your mouth!" "The Chairman is well aware of that!" "But he still appointed Deputy Manager Hanzawa." "He must have a ve~ry good reason for doing so." "Of course... you'll take complete responsibility." "aren't you?" "Chairman." "That goes without saying." "I understand very clearly now." "He's heading your way now." "Please confirm." "406)}Teikoku Juukou Aerospace Industry Headquarters" "What's he doing?" "He's leisurely eating katsudon." "Hanzawa." "What?" "What is it?" "He went up!" " What the heck was that?" " They've been watching me all morning." "They're probably trying to find the whereabouts of the removed files." "That's what I meant to talk to you about." "That Kurosaki from your acquaintances to your relatives." "You sure they're safe?" "They're safe." " They won't be able to find them." " Where the hell did you hide them?" "as they say." "this was routed to us from the Loan Department." "It's a file on Iseshima that could cause problems and they want it hidden." "I'll take care of it." "What darkest place under the candlestick?" "Don't tell me..." "The files are here at this bank." "hey." "This is the floor plan our General Affairs Department submitted to FSA." "This floor plan doesn't show a room that should be there." "I don't get it." "The machine room on Basement Level 2." "but there's definitely a door here." "General Affairs didn't note the rooms that weren't necessary for the inspection. - there's no way Kurosaki and his people can look there." " You got it." "how's it going with Foster?" " The feeling I get is not bad." "They appear to be agreeable to retaining President Yuasa." "I see." "The only thing that remains... huh?" "Report?" "What are you planning to do with that?" "what else?" "Please stop this nonsense!" "You're leaving this company soon anyway!" "Don't go around stirring up things any more than you already have!" "There's no one who's as knowledgeable as you when it comes to numbers concerning this company." "Why didn't you stop President Tamiya before it came to this?" "Noda-san." "now's the time." "What do you know?" "I'm the nail that's been driven into a pillar." "The calendar from which it hangs gets replaced by a new one every year." "unable to move until I rust and get discarded." "Can you imagine what that life's like ?" "that's all I'm worth! he never once listened to me." "Is that why you became a yes man? it's much easier to say yes. our job becomes merely a process." "A process can be performed by robots." "But we can't allow ourselves to become robots." "That's something I learned from my colleague." "Hello?" "not yet." "How's it going with you?" "I'm meeting with Foster's Far East Area Manager and working out some details." "before she leaves." "Where shall I go?" " The front entrance of the main building." " Got it." "I'll be right there." "I'm going to the main building." "Please don't!" "That screw..." "I don't want you to pick it up." "Why?" "Don't you recognize this?" "I didn't think you would." "You're that kind of a person." "whether you want to or not." "This screw is made of resin." "It's extremely light." "the business will recover for sure!" " Please let go!" "That's too bad." "You may not have enough time left to be talking about one of these days. isn't it? I may only be a lizard's tail to you." "the tail that's been cut off runs amok for a while." "You never know what it may do." "You'd better watch out." "Sorry about that." "After I called you out." "right?" " Exactly." "I saw him coming." "I figured it might not be a good idea to be seen with someone from Foster." " How was it?" " Negotiations are going smoothly." "it's hard for them to make a decision on the final agreement without knowing President Yuasa's true intentions." " I see their point." " I do too." "So what's he gonna do?" "President Yuasa." " Kondo." " Hey." "How's it going with President Yuasa?" "but" "I imagine he'll decide to withdraw by tomorrow." "That's the only way he can save the hotel." "That's right." "Deputy Hanzawa wouldn't happen to have a trump card would he?" "There's no way." "Aren't you actually scared of him somewhere deep inside?" "Surely you can't be serious." "There's not much time left." "You gonna make it?" " I don't know." "Will I?" "What do you mean you don't know." "The fate of Iseshima Hotel and our bank is in your hands." "Tomari." "not the bank." "President Yuasa is the only person who can do it." "can only put our faith in the owner." "You may be right about that." "I'm planning to get a statement from President Tamiya tomorrow." "Whether Tamiya Electric can revert back to a decent company or not is up to President Tamiya too." "That's not all." "we can bring Owada down." "Kondo." "you gotta do whatever it takes to get through the FSA inspection." "that's what we plan to do." "Right?" "Hanzawa-kun." "Tomari." "Kondo." "I'm glad you guys are my colleagues." "That's how I feel." "Hanzawa." "Can you say that one more time?" "I'm saving it as a keepsake." "you know." " You're being dramatic." " As if this was our last meeting in this world." " I shouldn't have said anything." "Last meeting in this world is pretty dramatic too." "Is this a period drama?" "Sorry for the mess." "things got pretty hectic." "I thought I'd get a head start this time." "Yukiko." " I'm really sorry." " It's okay." "But I think it was a bit of a shock to Yosuke." "He has to part with the friends he finally made here again." "Don't worry about it." "He loves his father very much." "I'm sure he'll understand." "I smell something fishy~." "What do you mean?" "Whose phone call have you been waiting for all this time?" "It's about work." "What else is there?" "why don't you make the call first?" "No... all I can do is wait." "It's not an easy decision to make." "Hana. we may end up leaving Tokyo." "That's what I thought." "I can tell just by looking at you." "I'm sorry." "Promise you won't get mad?" "I've been thinking that it might be better for you if you got away from the bank." "don't you think?" "you know." "Thanks." "But let me hang in there a little bit longer." "There's something I still have to do." "okay?" "145)}FSA Inspection 221)}Day of" "296)}Final Hearing Investigation" "Good morning." "Good morning." " Good morning." " Decisions like this are hard to make until the very last minute." "We still have 30 minutes." "I'm sure" "Yuasa-san will make the decision." "the information leaked out." "Those guys from FSA have Basement Level 2 completely sealed off since this morning." "The hiding place has been found out. there's no way we can explain ourselves out of this." "We might as well prepare ourselves for the worst." "Yeah." "Sorry." "I can't do anything for you anymore." "Hanzawa." "Here they come." "Gotta go." "Hanzawa." "Good luck." "180.769)}FSA Inspection Final Hearing Investigation" "We will now begin the final hearing investigation in regards to the credit judgment of Iseshima Hotel." "I apologize for being late." "Look at all the spectators we have today." "I'm getting all excited." "You may begin." "I will be speaking in regards to the credit judgment including the sequence of events up to now." "What is it that you want to talk to me about?" " It's about the subleased loan to Lafite." " That again?" "You'll be gone shortly." "It's none of your business." "aren't we?" "Are you sure Lafite is going to pay us back?" "I'm not expecting them to pay us back immediately anyway." "Don't we need that 30 million now at this time of our financial crisis?" "There are circumstances you don't know about!" "There's nothing we can do if they won't pay us back." "You don't know anything about it." "No." "I do know." "What do you know?" "That 30 million." "right?" "as indicated by the vacancy rate from the past 3 months..." "That's enough!" "Nothing's changed since the last time." "I can only think of it as a stopgap measure." "I find it hard to believe that this kind of restructuring plan would actually materialize." "Isn't it obvious from looking at how much of its past management plans Iseshima actually accomplished?" "everything's too optimistic! it should be proceeding according to the plan." "Aren't you asserting that it won't work this time because it didn't last time to twist it around to conform to your basis to classify it as effectively bankrupt? please point out what specifically is wrong with it." "the basis for the sales forecast is vague..." "That basis was explained at the prior hearing." "Performance is recovering smoothly. - profit rate is increasing considerably." " What about the issue with Nalusen! there's no indication of any alternate plan!" "Iseshima 500 thousand!" "What do you intend to do about that loss? classification of Iseshima Hotel as effectively bankrupt is to be expected." "go ahead." "I have no intention of disputing that. classification as effectively bankrupt cannot be helped." "T-that's right." "I think it's best for the bank to have President Yuasa step down." "this is Executive Director Owada's proposal." "we cannot agree to that." "What are you talking about?" "! you'll have to come up with a loan loss provision of 150 billion." "Is that what you want?" "We cannot consent to either one of those options!" " What's with that self-serving answer?" " The problem of Nalusen that you pointed out earlier has already been resolved." "What do you mean? the biggest hotel chain in America!" "I just now received President Yuasa's ready consent." "This is the proof!" "Iseshima Hotel has decided to accept Foster's offer." "Do you expect me to believe you with just that e-mail?" "What's Foster saying?" "Am I to assume you have Foster's consent too?" "Excuse me." "please put you mind at ease." "I got their consent over the phone." "they agreed to all of our conditions." "Negotiations successfully completed!" "That's impossible." "Yuasa's an autocratic family-controlled manager!" "How can he agree to be bought out..." "President Yuasa isn't simply an autocrat." "He's a clever owner who can foresee the future of Iseshima Hotel." "and who incurred a loss will be removed." "the initial capital gain will be 20 billion." "Iseshima Hotel will share" "Foster's reservation system as part of the cooperative business agreement." "they were able to obtain a system that's much more trustworthy and have the ability to attract customers. but they can be expected to rapidly increase their sales revenue. they no longer have any problems that would cause them to be" "so please put your mind at ease." "Any other questions?" "Then you don't have any other information on Iseshima Hotel right?" "Of course." "Really?" "Then perhaps you can accompany us." "To Basement Level 2." "Come on." "Let's go." "Let's all go together." "I'm coming too." "Kishikawa." "What's going on!" "I don't know either!" "and Manager Kishikawa carried it out." "Am I wrong?" "406)}5 Years Ago" "President." "but" "I'd like to have a long-lasting business relationship with you from now on too." "I'd be happy to cooperate." "keep in mind that" "I'm in no way involved with this matter." "I've told my colleagues at the bank about this too." "It will be a big issue soon." "and and try to save himself." "That can't be..." "President Tamiya." "Wait here for a minute." "Hello." "This is Tamiya." "President Tamiya." "Is it true that matter is about to get exposed?" "Who told you that?" "Kondo from our office." "He'll be gone soon." "There's no problem" "Are you sure?" "He's saying he already told his colleagues at the bank." "Owada-san." "The money...when will you give it back?" "maybe tonight." "Didn't you say at that time that you'd pay me back right away?" "But I also said this." "Keep in mind that I'm in no way involved with this matter." "Good bye." "Go ahead and laugh if you want." "I'm not in a situation where I can be laughing at others." "President." "Just one last request." "Won't you join forces with me to recover the 30 million yen?" "How?" "It's easy." "All you have to do is tell me everything that happened. and submit it to the bank." "Then what?" "That would be the trump card to get Owada removed." "and you should get the 30 million back in some shape or form. huh?" "I don't think that'll happen." "it would take an act of Congress to overturn a personnel move that's been decided once." "Then... why are you doing this?" "What other reason is there?" "of course." "I feel bad making the Chairman accompany us all the way down here." "Please don't mind me." "It's my duty as the chairman to see this through until the end." "That's quite admirable of you." "Kurosaki-san." "What in the world is in here?" "Why don't you ask Deputy Manager Hanzawa what's in here?" "Right?" "All righty now." "Please open the door." "Deputy Manager Hanzawa." "I know that you have the key for whatever reason." "There's nothing here that's worth showing to you." "just open the door." "Oh~ look!" "What are these strange boxes I see here." "Well..." "What can be in these boxes?" "I'm asking you what's in here." "can you?" "Then I'll answer for you." "These boxes contain don't they!" "What's this?" "What the heck is this!" "Hey!" "What the...?" "!" "They're props we use at banquets." "Is something wrong with that?" "what are you trying to do?" "so I had them stored here." "Does the FSA inspection include things like banquet props too?" "what did you do with them?" "Bring them out!" "There's no such thing anywhere." "this is the reality." "Are you still going to insist on your illusion that doesn't exist?" "Tokyo Chuo Bank will be reporting you for libel to FSA." "Is that all right with you?" "It seems Inspector Kurosaki misunderstood something." "But these things happen all the time." "Let's pretend this never happened." "Are you all right with that?" "Thank you...for your concern." "You really did it this time." "I'm not sure what you mean." "Inspector Kurosaki." "I thank you." "I won't forgive you for this until I die!" "Did you use magic?" "Was it magic?" "Tell me how you did it." " How did you switch them around?" " I didn't switch them around." "so I had them ready from the beginning." " You mean you were deceiving me too?" " I wasn't deceiving you." "Didn't I tell you?" "It's always darkest under the candlestick." "I get it now." "So those boxes were dummies." "I was breaking out in cold sweat." "I believe it." "I can imagine!" " It's Kondo." "Hello?" "How did the FSA inspection go?" "We managed to get through it." "How's it going with you?" "President Tamiya testified." "I'm going to write up a report and bring it with me." "Let's meet up tonight." "Kondo!" "You have one new message." "This is Tamiya." "but" "I told everything to Kondo-san." "that's all I have to say." "I will not allow you to sell Iseshima Hotel to Foster!" " Please retract it immediately!" " It's been decided already. and our guests who love this hotel." "not yours." "You're just like your father after all. that this hotel was ruined." "Will you be able to change that?" "I will change it." "did you wish to see me?" "What happened here..." "Don't mind that." "something bothersome's occurred." "Kondo speaking." "My name is Kumai with Tokyo Chuo Bank's Secretarial Division." "Secretarial Division?" "We'd like to confirm a few things in regards to Deputy Manager Hanzawa in Operations Division 2." "In regards to Hanzawa?" "here's to the successful FSA inspection." "All this was possible because you got Foster to make the move." "Tomari." " You owe me big time." "Hurry up and climb to the top and pull Kondo and me up too." "we can finally get to Owada." "didn't he?" "He can get things done when he has to." "Excuse me." "The other party has arrived." "sorry for calling you out suddenly." "I'm not sure what's going on here." "I was called out by Kumai-san from the Secretarial Division." "so" "I asked him to call you for me." "I have another engagement after this." "I'd appreciate it if you can keep it short." "I'm sorry about that." "Let me be frank." "I wanted to talk about your personnel matters." "I understand you're getting transferred out shortly." "was it?" "56)}* City on the eastern tip of Hokkaido" "Yes." "That sure is a long ways from here." "It must be tough for your family to move way out there." "What are you trying to say?" "That transfer..." "I can call it off. there's a condition." "Condition?" "The report you have in your possession now." "I don't want you to disclose it." "That's all there is to it." "It's a simple matter." "I've already told a number of people about the indirect loan." "That can be dealt with easily." "As long as they don't have President Tamiya's testimony." "I can remain at Tamiya Electric?" "no..." "You're misunderstanding something." "I'm saying that I'll bring you back to the bank." "Where would you like to go?" "Investigation Department." "you were hoping to get in the Public Relations Department when you first joined the bank." "I can work something out along that line." "It is really possible?" " For you to do that." " It is." "If you hand me that report." "This is a great opportunity for you." "I'm sure your family will be thrilled as well." "Kondo-kun." "I want your answer." "Why don't you try going back?" "To being a banker." "come talk to us right way." "but you're still you." "I'm glad you guys are my colleagues." "It's a supplementary prep school." "What do you think?" " What do you mean?" " It costs quite a bit." "He has to part with the friends he finally made here again." "I'd be grateful... for your help."
