01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

Erika.

You're the only one.

My reason for living.

Mother.

You will obtain everything
from the Mido family.

Please.

Make your mother's dream
come true.

What about you, Mother?

Can't you do it, Mother?

[♪♪♪]

[Yuri]
It seems like I can't do it.

I can't be the one
to hold on to him.

Erika.

Please, become his number one.

Make your father adore you.

And seize everything the Mido
family owns with your own hands!

Mother.

It hurts.

[piano music playing
over speakers]

[piano music volume increases]

Who are you?

Long time no see...

Takamura Nozomi.

No...

My older sister.

Erika?

[gasps]

What is this?

Isn't it lovely?

We're matching.

After all, we are sisters.

[chuckles]

DEEP REVENGE

[♪♪♪]

Where's Ren?

[Erika hushes]

EPISODE 8

He's sleeping over there.

Just as I thought.

You heard from Kadowaki.

Kadowaki?

[laughs]
Oh...

You mean that useless fool?

Hey, listen to this.

This is what that man
said to me.

[Makoto]
Hello?

Director, I've discovered
something incredible.

What is it at this hour?

It's about Takamura Nozomi.

She's alive.

And she's right beside you,
Director.

What?

It's that housekeeper.

The housekeeper.

Sato Kako.

She had plastic surgery
and infiltrated your house.

All for the sake of revenge.

[♪♪♪]

Is that... really true?

Yes.

The scar on her arm
from the accident

is a perfect match.

I was the one who operated
on her.

I wouldn't be mistaken.

I see.

Well done, Kadowaki.

What?

So?

You've already taken care
of her, right?

You finished her off, yes?

Oh, no, that's... not yet.

Thank you.

I'm delighted I get
to k*ll her twice.

Hey, why don't we come up
with a plan together?

I want to see you now.

Oh... Okay.

[♪♪♪]

[Kako] That was how
you lured him over.

We just had a drink
to celebrate.

And then he got drunk

and just couldn't stop
blabbering on his own.

He said he gave you
the information

that you're
Mido Tatsutoshi's child

but told me not to worry.

And that if I blamed him
for the mistake,

he would expose everything.

He threatened you?

Yes.

And this was what I did to him.

[giggles,
breathes deeply]

Just kidding.

It's a joke. A joke.

I bet he was drunk and must
have slipped and fallen

all by himself.

[exhales sharply]

Honestly, I'm always surrounded
by nothing but trash.

Right...

That includes that
washed-up actor, too.

He turned on me in a second.

Mido Erika...

You can die, too!

[cord plinks]

[column thuds]

[photographer] Hey, stop!

We're stopping for a moment!

Erika, are you okay?

[laughs]

So I offered him a job
with a very generous payout.

What?

Perhaps he's already missing
a kidney by now.

[laughs]

You...

Are you really even human?

Oh, my.

You're not too bad yourself,
either.

To think that you even
changed your face

just to worm your way
into the Mido family.

Just what I'd expect from you,
older sister.

You're wrong.

You people destroyed me!

[groans softly]

Well, it doesn't matter.
It all ends today anyway.

Such a shame.

And after you worked
so hard to gather

all that evidence
for your revenge.

You're the daughter
of Tatsutoshi's mistress.

You and Erika are half-sisters.

Only a male can be
the Mido family's heir.

Not only is Erika unqualified
to be the heir,

she can't have children either.

[chip plops]

[gasps]

[phone plops]

[loud gasp]

No way...

What?

You're the one who tried
to take it all from me

in the first place!

While I was in agony over
my inability to produce an heir,

you got pregnant
and were laughing it up

with that pathetic excuse
for a man.

A woman of my stature

having everything snatched away
by a bottom-feeding woman.

Do you have any idea
how that feels?

I've been fighting
by myself this entire time.

[♪♪♪]

Father.

I am at the top
this year again.

That's to be expected.

Don't bring shame
to the Mido name.

Keep striving.

What?

"Don't shame the Mido name"?

You moron.

I'm doing all this for myself.

You see...

I will take everything I want
with my own hands.

Everything the Mido family has.

[Yuri]
Erika.

Mother.

I will never end up like you.

I won't rely on anyone.

I'll show you that I can get
everything I want

all by myself.

[♪♪♪]

Erika?

[sighs]

Are we clear?

If I'm the pinnacle,
you're the pits.

If I'm a flower, you're a weed.

If I'm the light,
you're the shadow!

Now then...

Let's have our tea party.

I baked a whole batch
of macarons just for it.

[♪♪♪]

Well?

My older sister.

[phone operator]
The number you have called
cannot be reached.

It is either
out of the service area

or powered off.

MS. TAKAMURA, CALLING...

DEEP REVENGE

Say "ah."

Geez...

Why won't you eat it?

Your cute little sister worked
so very hard to make them.

Oh, my.

Are you suspicious of me?

It's true there's
a special prize in one of them.

But the rest are normal.

Well, in that case,
forget about it.

I'll just eat them
with someone else.

Someone else?

Ren, wake up.

Breakfast is ready.

[groans softly]

[gasps]

[♪♪♪]

Natto.

[giggles]

Okay then, now it's my turn.

Mmm...

This one.

Mm-hm.

Is this orangette? [laughs]

It's delicious!

Here you go.

Your turn again,
dear older sister.

[laughs]
All right,

now it's my turn again.

Mmm...

This one.

Mmm!

The peach-flavored one
tastes so juicy!

Here.

Your turn again, sis.

[♪♪♪]

[laughs]

This one's... toothpaste.

[giggles]

[Erika] This one...

Perhaps it's cassis?

So good!

All right, which one
should I pick now...

[laughs]

This one's my favorite.

It's for you.

The last one's for you, sis.

[soft crunching]

Is this honey?

That is the correct answer.

As expected, sis.

You see...

This one is made

with an extremely rare,
high-end honey.

Oh, my.

You're the one who jumped
to conclusions, dear sister.

You thought it was poisoned.

Could you not
blame it on me?

Now then...

What game should we
play next?

How much longer
will you do this?

It's already morning.

I have to prepare
breakfast for Ren.

[Erika] He's still asleep.

No.

A child needs a warm meal.

What?

Why are you acting
like his mother?

You're nothing but
a pathetic woman

who couldn't even protect
her own child.

[doorbell rings]

[man shouts indistinctly]

[doorbell ringing]

What's all this noise so early?

[pounding on door]

[people shouting]

[pounding on door continues]

Director!
Please come out now!

Is this news true?

[woman reporter]
There's no point in hiding!

[doorbell rings]

News?

[pounding on door continues]

A Past Baby Swap
and Cover-up at Mido Hospital?

A leak reveals that
Mido Hospital was involved

in a systematic swapping
of newborns.

[♪♪♪]

[Tatsutoshi]
So that's it.

Is this what you wanted

to tell me about tonight?

Yes.

I wanted to tell you before it
came to this, Chairman, but...

I've been hearing rumors about
the newborn swap from years ago

and I was deeply concerned.

My sincerest apologies

that I was unable
to reach you in time.

Erika.

What in the world have you done?

That useless fool!

[blade sheathes]

DEEP REVENGE

[people clamoring]

Ms. Takamura!

Ms. Takamura...

Dr. Mogami.

Thank goodness you're safe.

Yes, somehow.

In any case, doctor...

Thank you for leaking that
to the press.

It's a good thing

you had me hold onto a copy
of that voice recorder,

just in case.

Please take a look at this.

MIDO HOSPITAL'S DARK SECRET,
THE COVER-UP EXPOSED

The response is incredible.

Yes.
More than I expected.

So...

Is Ren all right?

At the moment, I don't think
Erika will harm Ren.

He's her trump card
to get her hands

on the Mido family fortune,
after all.

GRANRAY HOTEL

[♪♪♪]

[water dripping]

How in the world
did it come to this?

Who on earth leaked it?

[gasps, screams]

[shatters]

Mommy?

[shuddering breath]

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Watanabe]
Director, where are you?

We can't get things
under control!

Could you please appear before
the media and make a statement?

That's your job! You handle it!

[cell phone buzzing]

Just give me a break!
You're so annoying!

I'll k*ll you!

[Tatsutoshi]
That would be my line.

Father.

I am so disappointed in you.

I've turned a blind eye
to your inept management

this entire time.

But to think you can't even
handle a simple crisis...

Father...

It's not like that!
They're lies! Don't believe it!

Erika.

You are removed from
your director post.

Ren and I will handle things
from this point on.

[line disconnects]

[♪♪♪]

You've got to be kidding.

[gasps]

Over something like this.

[sobs]

[screaming]

I can't afford to lose now!

[♪♪♪]

Ren.

[cell phone buzzes]

Hello?

Hello? Takamura?

Where are you?

Do you have access to a TV?

At the hospital,

Mido Erika is going to hold

an emergency press conference.

What?

[reporters chattering
indistinctly]

[camera shutters clicking]

[male reporter 1]
Director Mido.

You've been in hiding for days.
What have you been doing?

The public is now calling you
the "Irresponsible Director"!

MIDO HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE

THE TRUTH
BEHIND THE NEWBORN SWAP COVER-UP

MIDO ERIKA,
DIRECTOR OF MIDO HOSPITAL

ADDRESSES THE NEWBORN SWAP
COVER-UP CONTROVERSY

On this occasion

I wish to begin

by offering
my most sincere apologies.

[reporters murmuring]

[door opens]

I know I have caused
a great deal of trouble

both for the hospital
and in a personal capacity.

[male reporter 1]
Since you're apologizing,

does that mean
you're admitting to it?

Regarding the cover-up
of the newborn swap?

That's right! If it's true,
this is a criminal matter!

[male reporter 2]
Did you act alone? Or was it...

[reporters clamoring]

[Erika]
Regarding the allegations
that have been made...

They are...

[camera shutter clicking]

...the truth.

[reporters murmuring]

What?

She admitted it?

Our hospital's own investigation
revealed that

a certain doctor held
a personal grudge against me.

We have determined
that this individual

fabricated the entire scandal

as part of his plot
to take over the hospital.

Don't tell me...

That's right.

The information
that you all have is false.

The full story...

SUICIDE NOTE

...is written in its entirety,
right here in this suicide note.

[reporters murmuring]

A suicide note?
What do you mean?

[♪♪♪]

The man attempted
to take his own life

and is currently in a coma.

He must have realized
his mistake

and was overcome with guilt.

That's why...

He jumped...

[Kako] Just as I thought.

She's pinning everything
on Kadowaki.

So, you're saying
there were no swaps?

And this was all just a plot
by that one doctor?

Yes.

An incident like that

could never ever happen
at Mido Hospital...

this country's most preeminent
medical institution.

[camera shutters clicking]

Be that as it may,

I understand that some of your
concerns may still linger.

So, I have an announcement
to make.

To prove the hospital's
innocence,

all mothers admitted during the
time specified in the article

and their children
will be offered DNA tests

conducted at
the hospital's expense.

[reporters murmuring]

She got us.

Takamura.

[Kako]
I'm the only one
whose child was taken.

[choking out words]
What about the baby?

Unfortunately...

You had
a stillbirth.

[woman singing in Japanese]

[Kako]
Even if they test the DNA of
every other parent and child,

there's no way
there will be a mismatch.

[woman continues singing
in Japanese]

[exhales audibly]

After my mother's death,

the one who raised me
all on his own

was my father, the chairman.

I want to repay his love
for me.

I want to repay the gratitude.

I took on the role
of the director

with that single purpose.

Father.

I feel truly blessed
to have been born

as your only daughter.

And that is precisely why...

[coughing]

I will never do anything

that would betray the trust...

[continues coughing]

...you have placed in me

as the only daughter
of the Mido family.

[woman continues singing
in Japanese]

[camera shutter clicks]

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

Stop crying!

AFTER TATSUTOSHI TAKES REN
AWAY FROM HER...

Ren is going to be k*lled!
Help me!

...ERIKA ASKS KAKO
TO k*ll TATSUTOSHI

[Tatsutoshi] Through Ren,
I will live on.

Who are you?

We're going
to k*ll Mido Tatsutoshi.

DRIVEN TO DESPAIR,
KAKO IS DETERMINED TO END THIS

[Yu] With that,
you will have revenge.

[Kako] What if he's
a failed creation?

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL

This twisted family...

I'm going to end it.
