Iseshima Hotel, one of Tokyo Chuo Bank's major customers,
incurred a loss of 12 billion yen
due to poor stock investment.
In accordance with the Chairman's order, Hanzawa
was entrusted with reviving the hotel.
If Iseshima Hotel should be classified as a troubled borrower
by the upcoming FSA inspection,
then the bank will have to come up with
an enormous loan loss provision
amounting to over 100 billion yen.
However, Hanzawa found out behind the investment failure
of Iseshima Hotel, there was actually a conspiracy
in order to qualify for the loan.
It was imperative that Hanzawa resolved Iseshima Hotel's problem
at all costs, in order to protect the bank. However,
who should appear before him but ...
We will now conduct the FSA inspection.
Nice to meet you.
Long time no see.
At precisely the same time on the same day, FSA inspections
were being carried out at all the major branches of Tokyo Chuo Bank.
With the existence of Tokyo Chuo Bank at stake, this was unquestionably
FSA Inspection First Hearing Investigation
the beginning of a battle with the Financial Services Agency.
Do you believe in fate?
I do.
I got to meet you again.
I see you're back with the Financial Services Agency. Congratulations.
I see you've risen in the ranks as well.
FSA Chief Inspector KUROSAKI SHUNICHI
Using that branch manager as stepping stone.
Mind you, Iseshima Hotel is the most important issue this time.
- Be forewarned. - Inspector Kurosaki,
Director Kishikawa Shingo
please take it easy on us.
Now then, without further ado, let's hear it.
I will give you the credit details of Iseshima Hotel.
- As you can see in the handout ... - Start out with
an explanation for the 12 billion yen loss.
- Well, that is ... - I can't hear you!
That was an unexpected loss due to poor stock investments.
We'll start out by giving you the details of its
performance in its primary business of hotel management.
Operations Dept 2 Manager NAITO HIROSHI
Operations Department 2 ONODERA JUNJI
Onodera,
let me start over.
Iseshima Hotel has performed poorly in the past several years, and
last term, it had a deficit for the first time in 20 years.
To counter that problem, the hotel is targeting
clientele from abroad, particularly Asia ...
Be more specific! What did it do with what?
Business partnerships with major travel agencies in
Shanghai and Singapore have already been settled.
To go along with that, it's moving ahead with
plans to integrate an IT system to include
- a unique online reservation system. - As I recall,
the company it employed to develop the system
is Nalusen Engineering, isn't it?
Yes. Nalusen is one of the top five IT-related companies in the country.
Iseshima Hotel is investing heavily, giving
high priority to developing its facility, and
it is one of the critical factors of the hotel restructuring plan.
Oh well, fine.
But the crucial thing is the huge loss of 12 billion.
How do you propose to make up the deficit?
It can manage to raise funds to keep going for a while by
selling the employee dormitory in the city, along
with stocks it holds in affiliated businesses.
That ...
would amount to maybe 5 billion.
That's not even close!
If its real business of hotel management became profitable,
the rest will made up in a few years ...
I'm not interested in "what if" stories.
In the first place, you guys
gave Iseshima Hotel a loan of 20 billion based on
speculation that it would end up in the black.
Nevertheless, a 12-billion yen investment
failure came to light immediately afterward.
What's more, it's my understanding that
Hakusui foresaw that and held up on their loan.
Yet, you guys couldn't foresee that.
I wonder why?
Is it because you're incompetent?
So even if you incompetent folks
told me Iseshima Hotel will move into the black in the future,
there's no way I believe that.
If, by the next hearing investigation,
you can't show me a sound compensation plan for 12 billion,
Iseshima Hotel will be classified as a troubled borrower.
If that happens, estimating roughly,
a loan loss provision of 152 billion, zero, zero, 8.6 million yen
must be supplied by your bank.
Did you get that? I'll say it again.
That's 152 billion, zero, zero, 8.6 million yen.
It's impossible. I can't see how
Iseshima Hotel currently has enough surplus assets
to compensate for the loss of 12 billion yen.
Even so, we have no choice but to find them.
Onodera, review Iseshima Hotel's assets one more time.
I'm counting on you ... Hanzawa.
You got Kurosaki, of all people, huh? He must really like you.
Give me a break. My compatibility with him is nonexistent.
So he said Hakusui foresaw it, but we couldn't.
He sure knows how to hit where it hurts, that Kurosaki ...
There's no way we can confess we got a tipoff but our employees suppressed it.
The report that guy Kozato wrote, do you have it safely hidden?
It's at home with other temporarily moved files.
- Wouldn't it be safer to destroy it? - No.
That's material evidence to prove that Kyobashi
Branch and Iseshima Hotel covered up the truth.
Once the FSA inspection is done, I'll have them take full responsibility.
- I can't destroy it until then. - That's what I thought you'd say.
Make sure they don't find it. Just think what'll happen if that document is exposed.
It's not just Iseshima. Our bank will blow up as well.
- I know. - But still, why did Manager Kaise
Kyobashi Branch Manager KAISE IKUO
suppress Iseshima's tipoff?
- That's what I intend to find out. - Find out how?
How else? I'm gonna ask Kaise.
At the same time, Kondo's work behavior
at Tamiya Electric where he was assigned
Hanzawa's Peer KONDO NAOSUKE
had transformed so much he was hardly recognizable.
- The draft was well-written. - Thank you.
Nakajima. Thanks for your hard work negotiating.
I'm sure you're tired, but I'd appreciate it
if you could submit your report by tomorrow.
- Will do. - Thanks.
- What happened? - I don't know.
I hope he doesn't get too pumped up and starts causing trouble.
Tamiya Electric Accounting Chief NODA HIDEYUKI
A way to make up Iseshima Hotel's 12-billion yen loss?
Yes.
I don't know what to tell you.
You're the banker in charge of Iseshima Hotel now.
I have nothing to do with it anymore.
What do you mean you have nothing to do with it.
If you had held up on the 20-billion yen loan,
the damage could've been minimized.
When we processed that loan,
who would've thought Iseshima would incur a loss of 12 billion?
An unfortunate mishap.
Was that really the case?
What are you trying to say?
You've seen this before, haven't you?
I'm safeguarding the original, along with other temporarily moved files.
This is ...
This is your note and your seal.
Where did you ...
Kozato!
Watch it. You'd better keep your voice low.
All hell would break loose if someone from FSA hears you.
You knew that Iseshima incurred a loss of 12 billion.
Nevertheless, you suppressed that tip
so the 20-billion yen loan would get approved.
- That's wrong. I just ... - Just what?
You just followed orders from the top.
Am I wrong?
That's it, isn't it?
Whose order was it?
Kaise-san. If this document was submitted to the board of directors,
you're finished.
But if you were ordered, your
disciplinary measure may get reduced.
Wouldn't it be to your benefit to tell us honestly?
Even if I discloses that person's name, there is no evidence.
- But if you testified, the evidence ... - My testimony
can be easily overturned by that person.
You guys
don't have a chance either.
I suggest you stop digging into this if you know what's good for you.
That guy's at the center of the darkness. Look for evidence against him.
Executive Director Owada.
The person who ordered the whole thing
was Executive Director Owada, right?
That's right.
If I said that,
will you destroy that report?
No. I can't do that.
Even if you were ordered by the top,
you'd have to take a certain amount of responsibility too.
In that case, I have nothing more to say.
Are you sure? We will reveal this document to Headquarters.
Go ahead, do it if you can.
If you do that now, FSA will find out
and the bank will be in big trouble.
If you have the interest of the bank at heart, I advise you to stay silent.
Are you turning on us?
It's true we should keep this matter hidden until
the FSA inspection is finished.
But after that, I will show no mercy.
You'd better prepare yourself.
If you make it through
the FSA inspection unscathed, that is.
That bastard dared to use our weakness against us.
Hanzawa, suppose it's Executive Director Owada in the background.
Do you really plan to lock horns with him?
Of course.
I figured as much. But it's still not quite clear to me.
Why did Executive Director Owada go to that
length to carry out the 20-billion yen loan?
What's in it for him to take the risk to force through a fraudulent loan?
Was he getting a kickback from Director Hane?
- Deputy Manager. - What is it?
We found them. Enough surplus assets to cover the 12-billion yen loss.
- You found them, huh? - Good job, Onodera.
They're there, that's for sure.
However, whether they can be sold or not ...
What do you mean?
Apparently, these assets are regarded as Iseshima Hotel's sacred territory.
Sacred territory?
This won't do, Mr Banker from Tokyo Chuo Bank.
Iseshima Hotel Main Office Lobby
I'm your point of contact, you know.
Iseshima Hotel Managing Director HANE NATSUKO
If you were coming here, you should have said so.
I apologize.
Or are you having a secret conversation you don't want me hear?
I told him he didn't have to tell you.
Sorry about that, Hane-san.
I have personal matters to discuss with him today.
I see.
In that case, it's none of my business.
Hanzawa, we'll talk in my office.
So, what is it you wanted to talk about?
To tell you the truth, we're being told by FSA to
make up the entire amount of the 12-billion loss.
The entire amount?! But that was
Iseshima Hotel President YUASA TAKESHI
an unexpected loss due to poor stock investments.
To reimburse all that at once is impossible.
The inspector from FSA, named Kurosaki,
is not a man who'd listen to what we have to say.
Then, what do you suggest ...
I heard there's a sacred territory at Iseshima Hotel.
The art collection owned by the Chairman, plus
property he acquired to build an art museum.
If we can sell that,
an extraordinary income of over 10 billion can be gained.
Is it true?
Yes, it's true.
But my father probably won't allow me to sell them.
Why not? The existence of the hotel itself is in jeopardy.
At this late stage, an art museum is the least of his worries.
The construction of Iseshima Art Museum
is my father last dream ...
no ... it's always been his dream.
I, too, want to fulfill that dream if at all possible.
I see. I can see why it's considered sacred.
I understand how you feel, but
at this rate, we won't be able to pass the FSA inspection.
President Yuasa. There are choices you can make
precisely at this time of financial crisis.
If you don't step into that sacred territory,
your predecessor's spell that torments this hotel
will never be broken, don't you think?
All right.
I'll do what I can to persuade my father.
Please. Other than that,
there's no way for us to survive.
Hello. This is Kaise.
Just as you said, Hanzawa came.
Oh, really. So?
Of course, I told him I knew nothing, and feigned ignorance.
Kaise-kun, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I don't know what you did, but
it's something you did on your own.
Isn't that right? Kaise-kun.
Yes.
I did it on my own.
It had absolutely nothing to do with you.
All right.
I'm counting on your continued support, Manager Kaise.
I'm blessed with good subordinates.
In comparison, Hanzawa is nothing but trouble.
He's certainly an eyesore.
I'm sorry that our banker causes you to worry.
Why don't you do your usual thing and have him removed?
Well, there's no need to rush it.
"The one who makes the first move loses,"
as they often say in, was it sports?
Let's sit back and look forward to
what kind of a fight he's got planned for us.
How long are you keeping these here?
I told you, until the FSA inspection's over.
One wrong move, and I might've died ...
You're overreacting. The boxes just collapsed a little, that's all, yes?
I might have this scar for the rest of my life.
What's more important, me or the FSA inspection?
Hana, listen seriously.
If these files are discovered by FSA inspectors,
I'll be dismissed on disciplinary grounds.
If that happens, I won't be able to provide for you guys.
This is the safest place for them.
Bear with it for a while.
What's safe about them!
Hana-chan ...
As I recall ...
Here it is.
Somebody suppressed the tip regarding Iseshima Hotel.
I, as their banker,
will do everything I can to protect Iseshima Hotel.
Even if I have to grovel in the ground, even if I have to get down on my knees,
I'll revive Iseshima.
In order to do that, no matter who my opponent is,
I'll fight with everything I have.
If you're the one who ordered the cover up,
please get down your on knees and apologize.
If you can do such a thing, that is.
Go ahead, give it a try.
Deputy Manager!
This is pretty lame for a deputy manager's chair.
- Is there something we can do for you? - Of course.
That's why we're here.
I believe the hearing investigation is tomorrow.
We're here on a different matter.
Actually, we'd like to pay a visit to your residence.
- What is this about? - We received a tip that
you're keeping files relating to Iseshima Hotel
- at your residence. - A tip?
Of course, I never even imagined you'd have something like that
hidden away, but
now that we got the tipoff,
we have no choice but to verify that.
I hope you understand.
I already have my people standing by in front of your residence.
We also confirmed your wife is there.
Can you call her immediately and
tell her to let us inspect the rooms?
You can use the video chat on this laptop and verify the video, so
there's nothing to worry about.
Please, hurry up and call your wife.
Or ... is there something you don't want us to see?
Completely translated and timed by subie06
- You mean now as in right now? - Sorry. Try to fake it somehow.
But it's so sudden, I don't know what to do ...
Hanzawa-san. Are you there? Hanzawa-san.
I'm Yamada with FSA. We'd like to take a look inside.
Excuse me.
Hey, what are you doing?
We have nothing to hide.
We'll be done shortly, so don't let us bother you.
Of course I'm bothered.
Shimada, don't forget the storage space above the closet and under the floor too.
- Well? - There's nothing.
Hey, what is this?
What's this room?
The bedroom.
I'll check it. Excuse me.
Will you please stop it ...
Jeez, what is this?
It's not here.
Haven't you looked enough already?
If it isn't here, it isn't here.
What is that there?
- This is just a walk-in closet. - Open it.
We're taking a look inside.
Excuse me.
It isn't here.
- Did you look all the way in the back too? - I did.
Never mind. Pull out of there!
Will do.
Hey, you guys.
Are you planning to leave without a word after messing up my home like this?
- Sorry to bother you. - Is that all?
There's a certain amount of etiquette you need to observe
if you come trampling into a private residence.
This is an inspection conducted by FSA with your husband's permission.
What do I care about that?
This may be my husband's house, but at the same time, it's mine as well.
My husband may not have any say in the matter
because of his position as a banker, but
I'm an average citizen, so let me tell you.
You government officials' behavior may be acceptable at
cabinet ministry offices, but they are unacceptable in the real world.
It's government officials like you who lack common sense that muck up this country.
Say something!
We apologize for troubling you.
Don't you dare take a banker's wife lightly.
You have a very lovely wife.
Yes, she's my pride and joy.
Inspector Kurosaki.
I don't know who gave you the tipoff, but
please make sure you tell that person that there was nothing in my house.
Provided that ... there really was a tipoff.
This isn't the end yet.
How will the loss of 12 billion be covered?
You have to demonstrate that clearly tomorrow.
If you can't, Iseshima Hotel will be
classified as a troubled borrower.
But I'm amazed those files didn't get found.
This is one time I felt hopeless and I braced myself.
- How did you hide it? - Well ...
Oh, those things. They kept getting in the
way, so I sent them off to my parents' house.
They don't have to be kept in this small company house, right?
As long as they don't get found, they can be kept anywhere.
You owe Hana-chan big time, huh?
- She already told me to buy her a dress. - Buy her 100 or 200.
The bank was saved by Hana-chan.
That's for sure.
But
at this rate, that's only until tomorrow.
No word yet?
Deputy Manager. President Yuasa's on Line 2.
- Here it is. - Thanks for waiting. This is Hanzawa.
- I'm sorry for the delay. - How did it go?
As I expected,
I was unable to persuade my father.
I see.
At any rate, I'll keep trying until the very last minute.
All right.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
Looks like it was impossible after all.
- To persuade the Chairman. - Hane-san.
What did you tell my father?
He absolutely refused to listen to me.
He told me he already heard the details from you.
I just told him that you were being deceived by the bank.
- That's all I told him. - Deceived?
Yes. I told him the bank was just trying to sell off his art objects
to gain immediate profit in order to get through the FSA inspection.
That's not true.
Deputy Manager Hanzawa is thinking in earnest about saving Iseshima Hotel.
I don't know about that.
If FSA classifies us as a troubled borrower,
future financing from Tokyo Chuo Bank will be stopped.
If that happens, we won't survive.
Are you saying you're okay with that?
How can I be okay with that?
I've devoted myself to this hotel
since before you were born.
The one who loves this hotel more than anyone else
isn't you or that banker Hanzawa.
It's me.
Do you have any means to help us?
I will protect Iseshima Hotel.
According to a home delivery service, they got a
early call from the Hanzawa household,
and picked up three cardboard boxes.
Is that right?
As I suspected, Hanzawa had the files on Iseshima after all.
Where were they sent?
Looks like his wife Hana's parents' house.
Head there at once.
- How's it going, Shinnosuke? - Deputy Manager. I retrieved the boxes.
- I'm heading out now. - Thanks.
How did it go?
We were one step behind. It appears Hanzawa's subordinate took the boxes.
I see. All right.
I'm sorry.
Well, whatever.
It was worth the effort learning that Hanzawa has the files
Finding them
is just a matter of time.
19 Hours until 2nd Hearing
Tomorrow at 1:00 PM,
the 2nd hearing investigation by FSA will be conducted.
If the bank can't demonstrate a compensation plan to
cover the 12-billion yen loss,
Iseshima Hotel will be classified as a troubled borrower,
and they will have to come up with a loan loss provision of 150 billion.
With 19 hours to go,
while holding out a faint hope for President Yuasa to persuade the Chairman,
Hanzawa and others searched with a fine tooth comb
for other surplus assets.
We can search all we want, but we're not going to
find surplus assets worth 12 billion anywhere.
If the Chairman can't be persuaded, it's game over.
If you have time to talk, get to work.
We still have time. We have to keep on searching.
- I'll help! - Me too!
Why do we have two identical ledgers?
More to the point, the numbers differ.
If these numbers are correct,
in the 5 years we were supposedly in the black,
we were actually 40 million in the red.
Which ledger is correct, Noda-san?
- Where did you find that ... - You know where I got it.
Inside that cabinet.
But that cabinet's locked ...
I'm not stupid. I know you keep a spare key in your desk.
Now, now, Kondo-san.
There must be some mistake.
Tamiya Electric President TAMIYA MOTOKI
I'll look into this, so leave this matter to me.
- You knew about this too, didn't you? - Don't be ridiculous.
- I know nothing ... - You signed off that you reviewed it.
This is unquestionably illegal accounting.
Since five years earlier, Tamiya Electric hid its deficit,
window dressed its accounts, and acquired loans illegally, didn't it?
What if we did?
Are you going to tell the bank?
That goes without saying.
Unless you're honest with them, there won't be a resolution.
To the contrary, if we do that, won't the bank cut off ties with us?
What happens next is up to you, President Tamiya.
Instead of resorting to petty tricks like this,
are you seriously prepared to rebuild your company?
If you are,
I'll do everything I can to persuade the bank.
As this company's Accounting Department Manager.
- Can we sell this warehouse in Shin-Kiba? - It's being looked at.
16 Hours until 2nd Hearing
The golf course by the sea. Users are decreasing.
This can go, right?
13 Hours until 2nd Hearing
We've scraped together about 5 billion with the small assets.
We'll just have to push our way through with what we got.
Thank you.
I'll explain the situation to the Chairman now.
If you get a call from President Yuasa,
give me a call no matter what time it is.
Will do.
11 Hours until the 2nd Investigation
I'm starving.
Hey. Are you still alive?
I bet you haven't had anything to eat.
Beef bowl for you.
12 billion by tomorrow, huh? That's a tough order to fill.
Sorry for making you help out.
If I find 12 billionyen worth of surplus
assets, you'd better treat me to a beef bowl.
I'll treat you to a year's worth.
Iseshima's problem's one thing, but
I can't believe your company's been window dressing too.
Aren't there any decent companies around anymore?
What do you plan to do, Kondo?
First of all, I'll disclose everything to the bank.
After that, all I can do is beg them to continue our loan.
- Has President Tamiya agreed to that? - Even if he doesn't,
I don't think there's any other way to truly save that company.
I've been a thorn in their side to begin with anyway.
I have no intention of playing the good-natured
accounting department chief at this stage of the game.
You might be able to talk HR into
reassigning you to a different company, don't you think?
Maybe.
But even if it's a company like that,
the place where I belong right now is Tamiya Electric.
I really want to make it a better company.
I can't just walk away from it.
Even if I have to fight it out with the president,
I'm going to change Tamiya Electric.
I decided to stop trying to curry favor with whoever I'm dealing with.
That's what it means to seriously face the challenge, isn't it?
- What's the matter? - He may still be there.
I'll going to see President Yuasa.
You're absolutely right, Kondo.
Thanks.
Hey, Hanzawa ...
- Do you really mean it? - Yes.
That I should oust the Company Chairman, my father.
If he won't allow us to sell the paintings,
we have no choice but to take away the Chairman's power.
That's not something I can do on my own.
It has to be submitted to the Board and has to get the majority vote.
I can't imagine Hane-san's supporters agreeing to it.
Even so, you've got to do it.
Even if you have to threaten them with your power as
employer, you have to make them agree to it.
You, as president, should be able to do it.
Are you telling me to threaten
- my employees in order to oust my father? - Exactly.
If you want to get rid of the bad tradition left by your predecessor,
you should take away this Iseshima Hotel
from the Chairman with your own hands.
You're
- a horrible person. - President Yuasa.
Remember what you told me?
You wanted to erase the bad traditions, and
establish a new Iseshima Hotel.
Your vision is not flawed.
All that remains now is whether you have the
conviction to carry that through.
If there's even a one percent chance to save Iseshima Hotel,
I can turn into an ogre or the devil.
FSA Inspection Second Hearing Investigation
Let's begin, shall we?
What about the plan to cover the 12 billion yen loss?
Apparently, you were trying to sell
the Chairman's collection of paintings and the property for an art museum.
Were you able to persuade the Chairman?
No.
We were unable to persuade him.
I see. In that case, Iseshima Hotel
will be classified as a troubled borrower.
We couldn't persuade him, so
we decided to oust the Chairman,
seize all the paintings, and sell them.
- Ousted him?! - Shinnosuke.
Pass out the handouts.
This morning, I seized the proprietary rights to
the paintings from my father.
7 Hours until 2nd Hearing
Thank you so much, Yuasa-san.
I apologize for making you take on the painful role.
Actually, when I told him we were going to oust him,
my father began laughing and said do you as please.
Perhaps this is what he was hoping for.
I felt we had a heart-to-heart talk for the first time.
Hanzawa-san, did you know this would happen?
Of course not.
Your determination made this happen.
As noted on your handout, 107 paintings, along with
the property for an art museum, has already been sold.
Purchase agreements are in process for the remaining 41 paintings as well.
- Estimating roughly ... - 11 billion 603 million 200 thousand.
In addition, if other assets
we mentioned earlier, such as employee dormitory, are included,
we believe we should have more than enough
to cover the loss of 12 billion. What do you think?
Inspector Kurosaki.
Surely not that spoiled rich boy.
He even ousted the Chairman to sell the artworks?!
Frankly, I didn't expect this.
At this rate, our plan will ...
Even if Hanzawa succeeded somehow to come up with 12 billion,
it's to be expected.
Isn't it?
Yes, it was.
Just about now,
is when the time bomb will explode.
I suppose we should get moving too.
Fine.
I'll concede that you made up the 12 billion yen loss.
Nicely done.
He conceded rather easily, didn't he?
Now then, let's move on to the
careful examination of the restructuring plan that we've been putting off.
- First then, Iseshima Hotel ... - Before you start,
what you folks talked about the last time, the latest IT system?
If that doesn't get completed, what will happen?
You there. Answer me!
More than likely, it would be impossible to revive the business.
That's right. Very good.
- What are you trying to say? - The company that
Iseshima Hotel employed to develop that IT system,
- what was it called ... - Nalusen Engineering.
That's right, Nalusen. You know, this Nalusen
is going bankrupt.
The IT-related company
which ranks 5th in the nation in sales, Nalusen Engineering
was sued by Foster Group, the biggest hotel chain the U.S.,
for patent infringement.
Should Nalusen lose this lawsuit,
it will have to pay an enormous amount for damages ...
We're in trouble. Nalusen's IT system is
the key to the revival of Iseshima Hotel. If that's gone ...
I'm going to Iseshima.
Hanzawa-san, what's wrong? You look shaken.
- Did you see the news on Nalusen? - Of course.
We were getting ready to have a talk with Yuasa regarding that matter.
Perfect timing, Hanzawa-kun. You should sit in too.
As the banker in charge of Iseshima Hotel.
Executive Director Owada. Pardon me for not keeping in touch.
That goes for me too. I'm sorry it's been so long.
I should have rushed over sooner
and tried to save your hotel from this crisis, but
when you're the executive director, it's hard to deal with inflexible schedules.
I'm sorry for causing you trouble with this current matter.
You know us better than that.
I'm here today in regards to that matter.
Meaning?
To be honest,
it's difficult with the way things are.
In light of what's happened to Nalusen,
we won't be able to get through the FSA inspection.
Do you have any breakthrough solution?
Do you have any?
I do.
Yuasa-san. Let me be frank with you.
We'd like you to change the managerial structure.
Actually, I've already approached FSA's Chief
Inspector Kurosaki in regards to this.
If you abandon the current family management
and explore new possibilities, he agreed to postpone his decision
on classification for one year.
- Are you telling me to step down ... - Please wait, Executive Director.
There's no need to be concerned, President.
The person who knows this hotel better than anyone else,
Managing Director Hane, will take over as successor.
For me, who's been serving this hotel since the previous president,
to take over under these circumstances
is very painful.
However, I'm doing this to protect the reputation of Iseshima.
You'll agree to it, won't you?
I'm the banker in charge of Iseshima.
- I haven't been told of any of this. - Don't worry.
That's not a problem, Hanzawa.
You've been removed from this assignment effective today.
Thank you for your hard work until now.
You can rest easy, leaving it in my good hands.
I can't go along with that. I'm against President Yuasa stepping down.
Then, other than my proposal,
do you know of any other way you can save Iseshima Hotel?
If all you can do is talk, both Iseshima and our bank will go bankrupt.
Please give me a little more time. I will take responsibility
to find a way to revive Iseshima Hotel without fail.
President Yuasa has exerted more effort and energy
than anyone else for the revival of Iseshima Hotel.
He voluntarily strived to break
from the bad practices of family management.
As a banker, I firmly believe that President Yuasa
is precisely the person who's necessary to
Iseshima Hotel of the future.
Hanzawa-san.
All right.
Then ...
you wanna get down on your knees?
You were saying before, remember?
Even if you had to grovel in the ground, even if you had to get on your knees,
that you'd revive Iseshima Hotel.
Come on. Show me your resolve.
Can't do it?
Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad! Dad!
Dad!
Hanzawa-san. Please stop it.
Please give me a little more time.
I beg you.
