"CONCERTO" "What is it?" "Let's go home." "I came to get you." "Come home with me." "I'm taking Hana home." "I'll look after her." "Please let me." "You'll look after her?" "Hana is my wife." "She hasn't been home for a year." "Can you call her your wife?" "Do you know what kind of shape she's in?" "She's injured." "Show him!" "Injured?" "Let's see it." "It's only a scratch." "I think I'll have tea." "I'm thirsty." "It's the first time three people are in this room." "I feel like playing cards." "It's up to you." "Will you come home or not?" "The decisions made." "Shut up." "I did, for a year." "I didn't say a word." "I watched silently from afar, wondering what she was thinking, what her plans were." "You're engaged to Tatsumi Kyoko." "You had no choice." "And that's why I broke up with her." "I broke off the engagement." "As long as Kyoko was my girlfriend," "I couldn't help Hana out." "It was a difficult year." "I realized I cannot leave her alone." "So I decided to speak up." "It's taken me four years to say it, but this is my decision." "Please give Hana back to me." "I sure am thirsty." "Hana, please." "I'll sign the divorce papers whenever you want me to." "But, if you ever want to come home, please do." "Bye." "Kosuke..." "CONCERTO" "Episode 9 STORMY LOVE" "Good morning." "Let's inspect the third floor." "Hurry, so we can have our meeting." "One moment please." "Who are you?" "I'm the construction foreman." "So, you're Mr. Takakura?" "I'm in charge from today." "You've been fired." "Unit Foundation hired me." "These are my orders." "Hello, this is Takakura." "I'd like to speak to Director Takamura." "He isn't in?" "I must speak to him." "What's his home phone number?" "I see." "Before you came, someone from Unit Foundation introduced us to Mr. Seki and asked for our cooperation." "Sorry, but we have to follow the boss' orders." "Listen to your yourself." "I'm the architect of this art museum." "The architect is in charge of construction." "Someone behind Unit Foundation doesn't think so." "I heard this was the decision of Tatsumi House's president" "Mr. Takakura, phone call from your office." "Hello, what's wrong?" "They're meeting today?" "Why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" "Aren't you discussing blueprints for the convention center?" "Didn't the chairman inform you?" "Your design was rejected at the board meeting." "I wasn't informed." "I heard it was way over the budget." "It was already approved." "Anyway, we're looking at another design." "Please leave." "What's happening?" "What's this blueprint?" "What the heck is going on?" "!" "It's me, Tatsumi Kyoko." "Long time no see." "It's urgent that I speak to you about Kakeru." "Do you have time now?" "Please don't bother." "I can at least get you some tea." "I can't stay long." "My father wants to see me regarding Kakeru." "If I don't give him a convincing explanation, he'll destroy Kakeru." "My father is an influential man in construction." "He believes he made Kakeru what he is today." "He despises Kakeru for breaking our engagement and for turning his back on him." "He's threatening to make it impossible for Kakeru to work as an architect." "My father is frightening." "Kakeru is in trouble." "I knew he was frequenting your working place this past year." "It hurt but I imagined It would happen." "It couldn't be helped." "Our relationship and his work should be separated!" "Kakeru is as talented as my father boasts." "He says Kakeru will be one of Japan's finest architects." "I want to help Kakeru." "Breaking up with me isn't a reason to sever ties with my father." "I want him to continue working with my father." "It's a waste to destroy his caliber of talent." "I want you to tell Kakeru that." "What do you mean by "destroy"?" "He'll never do architectural work again." "I'll try to convince my father to change his mind." "Please do the same with Kakeru." "Please!" "Takakura Kakeru." "I've returned to Kosuke." "I'm sorry." "Welcome home." "I'm happy you're back." "Come on in." "When you called, I was cooking stew for dinner." "Actually, I'm reheating some hotel's frozen stew." "It's rather tasty." "Have you had dinner?" "I'll take over." "Not tonight." "You've made me very happy by coming home." "Go and change clothes." "The drawers and your things are as you left them." "Thanks." "What's the matter?" "Hana came home?" "When?" "Two weeks ago." "That's good news." "She's back but she's listless." "What's the matter?" "I asked her if she's sick but that isn't it." "She isn't as lively as she used to be." "Since I was meeting you in Kanda," "I asked her if she wanted to go book browsing but she didn't want to come." "Have you heard how Kakeru is doing?" "Seen him in a magazine once." "Seems he's in demand." "You haven't heard?" "Kakeru is in big trouble." "You've heard nothing at all?" "MUKAI JUN." "Architect." "TAKAKURA KAKERU." "Architect." "I'm sorry but will you find another office tomorrow?" "Mr. Mukai saw Mr. Tatsumi yesterday." "Seems Mr. Tatsumi warned Mr. Mukai about you." "Mr. Mukai let you stay here because you're my friend." "But, Mr. Mukai is obligated to Mr. Tatsumi." "Get out of here!" "I'm supposed to be in charge here." "If he doesn't like it," "I won't let him use my blueprints." "If you understood, go back and tell Tatsumi that!" "Shall I peel an apple for you?" "Kakeru is having a hard time finding work." "Mr. Tatsumi hates him and is denying him work." "Kakeru didn't go back to Tatsumi's daughter even after you left him." "Backfired, didn't it?" "Are you worried about him?" "Since you've returned, has he been on your mind?" "Enough is enough." "Is that why you came back to me?" "It isn't." "It's because I love you." "I came back because you mean so much to me." "But, I love Kakeru as much as I love you." "He means as much to me as you do." "That's why I don't want you nor Kakeru to be unhappy." "I don't want either of you to be unhappy because of me." "I'm Ebisawa Kosuke." "I'd like to see Mr. Tatsumi." "I hate to admit it but my dog bit my hand." "I've decided to put the animal to sleep." "No stranger will stop me." "I understand, but I'm not an ordinary stranger." "I once took him under my wing and taught him the ropes of this business." "I don't have the heart to kill him." "I see." "You feel responsible for raising that dog?" "That too." "Ebisawa Kosuke shares he crime." "Should you also pay for it?" "Take it any way you want to." "As a man who once studied architecture with you," "I beg of you, do not destroy his talent." "Please!" "Amusing." "It was worth living this long." "In my younger days envious of your fortune," "I tried but ended up with worthless blueprints and my career ended before it could get started." "I never imagined you'd be begging before me like this." "Fine!" "Here is the basic plan for a college library in Connecticut." "Next month, a contest will be held and the winner will be awarded with the project." "I want my company to build that library." "I had my staff work on it and this is what they came up with." "Junk, drawn by brainless fools!" "I want you to fix this up in three days." "I want a blueprint that'll take first prize." "You can do it." "I won't pay you, won't use your name." "I'll submit it as my design." "Those are the conditions." "One more thing." "I want you to take over as construction foreman at that art museum that punk is in charge of now." "You want me to oversee construction?" "If you can do all that, I'll spare that punk's life." "Out of my sight, he's free to live as he pleases." "Can you do it?" "Leave, now." "I'm taking Mr. Seki's place as construction foreman." "You're causing a commotion by sitting there." "Leave." "Please, go away." "It must be a joke!" "You're overseeing a building I designed?" "I can't believe the foolish things I'm doing." "Mr. Tatsumi?" "Why?" "It doesn't matter." "It'll silence Tatsumi and you can work as you please." "Good for you." "Why're you doing it to silence Tatsumi?" "Thrust me." "Why?" "I respected you." "Aren't you embarrassed?" "Don't be Tatsumi's slave." "It's not funny!" "I'm Takakura Kakeru." "I don't need your help." "You have no idea how powerful Tatsumi is." "And you do?" "He bought you and you're here to get my job?" "How much is he paying you?" "I'll double it." "You think I'd take money from Tatsumi?" "Hana is concerned about you." "She came home but she's listless." "You're the only one on her mind." "In these past two weeks, you've been denied work." "You don't have an office anymore." "Hana thinks it's all her fault." "Look at this." "He wants me to re-do these blueprints." "They're blueprints of library in America." "He wants it done in three days." "Do you think I can do it in three days?" "Is that for the library in Connecticut?" "It's terrible." "You don't have to be Tatsumi to see that." "He isn't paying me nor using my name." "He's entering it in the contest, as his own." "At first, I thought." "why must I do it?" "You can go to Hell!" "If you help me, we can finish it in three days." "I refuse to give up." "C'mon, give me a hand!" "It's for your own good." "You need my help now." "Do you want to be jobless?" "Think how Hana feels!" "Help me, even if you don't want to." "Tatsumi isn't playing fairly." "I have my own ideas." "I'll get him back someday." "Hello." "Let's begin with the concept." "This is a library." "What is wrong with this blueprint?" "It isn't clear whether it is a library or reading room." "Exactly." "Are you familiar with" "Ecetra High Schools library by Louis Kahn?" "The one with the library in the middle and reading rooms around it?" "That's good." "That opens up to the sky?" "What do you think?" "Something like this..." "Bookcases will block the sun..." "When library users are reading, the sun..." "Then there goes the concept of opening up to the outside." "Then the entire building must be glass with the library in the center." "Sun rays will damage books." "What if we used louvers?" "Like the National Library in Paris?" "How was the soup?" "Delicious." "So were the beans." "I'm glad." "I'll leave an apple here." "Thanks." "How's this?" "Distance this structure away from the roof." "It'll be costly." "Let's worry about cost later." "What about balance?" "Distance it." "You said the National Library in Paris is made of glass?" "It must be beautiful." "Really beautiful!" "You've both seen it?" "I'd like to go to Paris." "You haven't been there?" "I'd like to take you to see the library." "Please take me there the two of you." "Me too?" "You said you'd take me around." "But..." "The three of us will go." "Really?" "Let me ask Kakeru." "Sounds good." "Let's go." "All right!" "The three of us will go to Paris together" "Promise?" "I wish the three of us can stay like this forever." "Hana..." "We're finished." "Good job." "He's leaving." "Thanks for everything." "Thank you." "I'll leave the rest to you." "Go with Kakeru." "It's for the best." "That's my decision." "Hurry!" "You'll lose sight of him." "This is for the best." "Hurry!" "Goodbye." "Take care." "Goodbye." "Go on, hurry." "Goodbye." "Take care." "Goodbye."
