Doors closing. Please watch your step.
You were amazing.
Thank you.
Ah, Phillip.
Yes.
We have one more.
- Okay. - Please come in.
Good morning! I'm Phillip Vanderploeg.
- Nice to meet you. - Okay.
- Thank you very much! - Okay, thanks.
Good morning.
I'm Phillip from EZ Talent...
Please find a seat.
...to honor the life of Mr. Daito.
We express our deepest condolences.
Mr. Daito, we will never forget your radiance.
A message from the Osaka Hiranonishi Junior High School, 9th grade, class A.
Now, Mr. Daito's friend, Miss Nakajima,
would like to share a few parting words.
Yū-kun...
I was so in love with you.
I miss your warm embrace.
The way you held my hand on the way home from school.
You took me everywhere on your bicycle.
We had our first kiss at sunset
in the schoolyard.
I'll never, ever forget these memories with you!
Thank you for being born!
Why did you have to leave us so soon?!
Thank you very much for your heart-warming message.
The time has come for us to share
our final goodbye with Mr. Daito.
Everyone, please come forward.
I'm sorry for your loss.
You even prepared this outfit for me. Thank you so much!
I've never felt this way before...
How can I put it?
I finally feel like I deserve to exist.
Thank you so much!
It is our pleasure to be of service.
May I show you to the dressing room?
We have some snacks for you.
Thank you.
Please take your time.
I'm so happy to be alive.
Glad to hear.
You know we cremate bodies in Japan?
But I'll have to dock your pay for being late and disrupting service.
You noticed?
Everyone did.
Good job today!
See you next time!
Excuse me!
Was the whole thing fake?
I'm in a hurry, do you mind?
A "Specialized Performance".
How long have you been in Japan?
Seven years.
You can live here a hundred years and still
be left with more questions than answers.
Why don't you come by our office sometime.

Fifty total guests.
We will provide all the attendees except for your parents and extended family.
Once your parents meet the groom,
we'll hold the ceremony and reception.
Following the wedding, the two of you will move to Canada. Correct?
- Yes. - Excuse me,
why Canada?
Sorry about that.
The ceremony will be...
One more thing.
My parents...
they're very surprised.
But...
also very happy.
We've managed weddings like yours before.
You're in good hands.
Yes.
Good night.
Good morning.
Good luck today! You were incredible the other day.
Have a good time!
Don't drink too much, though.
Take lots of pictures.
I'll go get the groom now.
- Ready? - All set.
Brian, may I come in?
Are you ready to...
Huh?
We're honored to host you for such a wonderful occasion.
We're very grateful. Thank you.
Yoshie-san, are you ready?
Excuse me...
Congratulations on this special day.
May I speak with you?
Please excuse us.
See you shortly.
- What is it? - Aiko-san, he's gone.
- Wasn't he in the waiting room? - No, I can't find him anywhere!
I'm so sorry.
- Excuse us. - Good to see you.
What's going on?
Phillip is gone.
What?
I'm sorry.
Congratulations!
Did you call him?
Straight to voicemail.
Congratulations!
- What time is it? - Ten til.
Oh, the father of the bride!
- Thank you for everything. - Congratulations!
- Thank you. - See you soon.
Kota, check upstairs.
You go downstairs.
I'll check the 1st floor.
Excuse me.
Did anyone see a big American?
Sorry.
Hello.
Pardon me.
With utmost reverence, we humbly offer our words before the great presence of
Ōkuninushi, the Great Lord of the Country.
The groom, Brian Callahan, and the bride, Yoshie Ikeda, pledge themselves to one another
through the ritual sharing of sake cups, uniting as husband and wife.
We swear to always support each other, respect one another,

Husband, Brian Callahan.
Wife, Yoshie.
Say cheese!
Congratulations to you both!
Thank you.
Thank you, father.
Jun-chan!
I promise I'll make you happy.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Married?!
No way! Congratulations!
Oh, for work.
And?
How did you feel?
We're alike, aren't we?
I help people physically,
and you help people emotionally.
But you're just a little more personal.
I'm so sorry about yesterday.
That was pretty bad.
Luckily, the client is satisfied so we're okay.
Alright then.
I need you to play a father.
There's no way he can handle a role like that!
Aiko.
Why don't you get some air.
I'll get going too.
Welcome.
Beer and ramen please.
Coming right up!
Here you go.
I'm on my way home.
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Smells great.
It'll be ready soon.
Are you hungry?
Yeah.
How was the game?
Do you want a beer?
Sure.
How was the soccer game?
We lost because of me.
What happened?
I missed a penalty kick.
Don't beat yourself up.
You'll do better next time.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's eat!
Who wants a big plate?
Me!
Extra large for me!
Mia.
There's somebody I want you to meet.
Who is he?
Kevin.
He's...
Your father.
What do we say?
Do we need him to get in to school?
Pinky swear, pinky swear,
if you lie, I'll make you swallow a thousand needles
and you'll DIE.
Mom, let's go.
Please forgive me!
I'm...
I'm garbage.
Less than a cockroach, a disgrace to the company!
Please forgive me!
You know what you are?
You're an insult to cockroaches!
That's absolutely true.
If cockroaches are up here, I'm way down here.
Why are you laughing, you piece of shit!
Please wait...
Um... actually, there's more...
What?!
I embezzled from our employee...
retirement funds!
You goddamn cockroach!
I'm sorry!
Please accept my apologies!
- I'm the worst. - Apologize to every person in here!
I'll do whatever you say!
Stop crying you little shit!
Scold me more!
Yes?
Hello, my name is John Conway.
I'm here to interview Mr. Kikuo Hasegawa.
Please wait a moment.
Have you seen Mr. Hasegawa's films?
Of course, and I've read his books.
By the way, no matter what you say, don't bring up "Ronin of Hiroshima".
- Why? - Trust me on this one.
The journalist is here.
Good luck.
Are you a thief?
No, I'm just a writer.
All writers are thieves.
Nice to meet you. I'm John Conway from Vivid Frame Magazine.
Never heard of it.
Improvisation...
chord changes,
flow.
Jazz is all about adapting.
Dad!
Hold on...
Hello.
Don't you want your sandals?
I don't need them.
Did you take your medicine?
Meet this journalist.
John Conway, nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming today.
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Okay.
I'll see you later, Dad.
Okay.
Today, we'll be making animals out of recycled items.
These animals can be real or imaginary.
What's most important is that they are created from your imagination.
Parents, please help your children.
Come join us.
Let's make it together.
You sure?
What shall we make?
Shark-topus.
A shark and octopus combined!
He wants you to teach him how to make it.
Let's go!
Come on, slowpoke!
Here.
"To the grave...
I will follow you!"
Was that "Ronin of Hiroshima"?!
I'm just happy I get to see you.
Want me to read your palm?
Something fun is headed your way!
Nice to meet you!
See ya later!
You said you're done acting in theater! What's gotten into you?
- I just want to act again! - Give them a few more minutes.
- What if you forget your lines again? - Enough!
It's for your own good, Dad!
- Just go home! Leave! - Fine! Do whatever you want!
Ogawa-kun.
Yes.
Call a cab.
But Masami-san said not to go out...
Just do it.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Is it good?
Use this.
That's good.
Don't you want to ask me something?
Do you know,
what Masami used to call me when she was young?
Are you close?
While she's young...
make sure to spend time with her.
Where are you going?
To take a piss.
Excuse me!
Here's your beer.
Thank you.
Well I'm...
Going that way.
I was just headed...
Home.
How is he?
He's resting now.
Thank god...
I'm sorry to trouble you.
I'll be off, then.
Excuse me.
I really appreciate what you're doing.
But please don't do any more favors for him.
If this happens again...
he's the one that will get hurt.
Would you like to know your fortune?
- Can I? - Sure.
Do you guys know each other?
We used to work together.
Did you work in computers, too?
I was in...
customer service.
But I'm a fortune teller today!
Let me see your palm.
What's your name?
What a pretty name!
I'm Natsumi.
Let's see...
You're rebellious, aren't you?
And very creative,
but something is holding you back.
Really?
Don't be afraid,
and follow your heart.
Okay?
Okay.
Bye Natsumi,
thanks!
Who were you talking to?
Dad.
Kevin?
Yeah.
When did you guys start talking on the phone?
The Monster Cat Festival.
Really.
Yeah.
Mia, listen...
I don't want you to get too close to him.
Why?
What if he leaves again?
Why would you say that?
I just don't want you to get hurt.
Please don't call him anymore.
Dad listens to me.
I listen to you too!
You just tell me what to do!
Forget it...
I need to study. Please go.
First question.
"What are your expectations for your child's education at our school?"
I have none.
Did I offend you?
Why don't you go take a look?
I have a favor to ask you.
What's that?
I would like you to take me to my home town.
Anyway, I need to go there now.
Before my memory fades away.
Please forgive me.
I'll never see your husband again.
Wait! Hey!
That will be extra.
What?
Twenty-thousand yen.
Twenty-thousand?!
Sorry about that.
And the check.
Welcome back.
Getting used to the job?
From Shin-Yokohama...
All the way to Hakata... Hmm...
Planning our jailbreak.
We go from Shin-Yokohama...
all the way through Osaka, Okayama, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and--
Fine.
You can leave.
Understood.
We're done here.
Just leave!
Please step forward when your name is called.
Is Mia part of any after school programs or clubs?
Yes.
She's been in cram school since she was five, and she's fluent in English.
Anything else?
She's an incredible artist.
Next,
let's talk about principles.
What is the most important value in your family?
- To always communicate. - To be honest.
We tell our daughter to communicate clearly and share her honest opinion.
Lastly,
what are your expectations of our school?
We still have so much to learn as a family,
so we trust you'll make the best choices for us.
Thank you very much.
Let's go.
To Shin-Yokohama station.
...7, 8, 9, 10
Found you!
My turn!
Isn't that your dad?
Huh?
Please leave me a message.
Have you heard the idea of "Eight Million Gods"?
No.
The Sun,
the land,
the forest,
the ocean.
It means God exists in all things.
God exists...
within us, too.
Hello?
Yes, speaking.
...Really?
Thank you so much!!
Yes,
I understand.
Okay. Thank you!
Bye.
Mia!
You got into the school!
Congratulations!
I'm so proud!
You worked so hard!
Is Kevin...
really my dad?
What do you want to eat tonight?
Let's celebrate!
How about the restaurant you liked last time?
If they're open...
Mom.
Who is this?
There it is...
Every time traveling actors came to town,
I'd learn their plays and perform for my family.
Now that I think about it,
maybe this place was my first stage.
Cheers!
Thank you...
for bringing me home.
How have you been?
Who is she?
I had moved...
to Tokyo, alone.
Soon after that,
I received a letter that said...
she'd fallen ill.
From there...
it didn't take long.
Isn't it strange?
It's been so long since she left us...
but I still remember her...
...so vividly.
I'm so glad to see her again before I forget everything...
I'll go on ahead.
Are you Mr. Vanderploeg?
Yes.
Could you come with us to the station?
Yes.
Yes, I understand but...
first of all, there's a language barrier, right?
It's not a kidnapping.
This is a misunderstanding.
Okay.
Understood.
What did they say?
Kikuo is fine now, but Phillip...
If his innocence isn't proven within 48 hours...
he will be sent for prosecution.
What do we do?
Try the US embassy?
I'll call my lawyer friend.
There's nothing we can do.
But if we don't do anything,
he gets deported!
Exactly.
Listen, he kidnapped our client.
Are you serious right now?
It doesn't matter what we think, that's how people will see it.
Who cares what people think! We have to do something!
Is this your company?
I'm the one that has to take responsibility!
So we abandon him?
Don't you have work to do?
Come in.
When did you start seeing my husband?
Seven months ago.
Did you know we have children?
No.
She came on to me.
I wouldn't date someone like her.
Don't just stand there. Apologize!
You're such a piece of shit.
Ma'am...
I never slept with your husband.
I'm just an actor.
Your husband,
he doesn't even have the balls to bring his real mistress.
So he hired me to apologize to you instead.
That's a lie!
Are you crazy?!
Listen to me.
You deserve better.
- Hello, Rental Family-- - I can't do this anymore. I quit.
I'm back.
Welcome home!
You're early tonight.
What are you studying?
Science.
Guess what?
Beef was on sale today.
Hope you like it.
What's wrong?
It's too strong...
the way you gripped my shoulders.
I'm sorry.
Can we start again from the top?
Yes, of course!
I'm back.
Wow, you're early tonight.
Welcome home.
Hey.
What are you studying?
Science.
Come on, try something different.
I'm sorry.
No, it's fine.
What am I doing...
You can go home now.
Understood.
Sorry.
Excuse us.
Hello?
Sorry to bother you.
I'm Tajima from Yashiro Law Firm.
And I'm Terasaki.
Is Mr. Kikuo Hasegawa home?
He's resting right now.
What's this regarding?
It's about Mr. Vanderploeg.
We need to speak with Mr. Hasegawa, if possible?
Please wait a moment.
Thank you.
I'm gonna puke.
- Take deep breaths. - Okay.
Excuse us.
Please wait here.
Thank you.
Hello, who is it?
I'm detective Kinoshita from Kitakamakura police department.
I'm here to discuss Mr. Vanderploeg's case.
Is Mr. Kikuo Hasegawa available?
Yes.
Please wait a moment.
No problem.
We're so dead.
We're gonna get arrested.
Calm down.
It's over!
Calm down!
Don't speak.
I'll take responsibility.
I'm detective Kinoshita from Kitakamakura police department.
Terasaki from Yashiro Law Firm.
I'm Tajima.
Pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
This way, please.
Sir,
you have visitors.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
Hello?
The actor, Mr. Kikuo Hasegawa passed away last night at his home in Kitakamakura.
He died peacefully surrounded by his family.
He was eighty years old.
My father started his acting career as a teenager.
Performing in over 100 productions,
he played many roles in his career.
But in the end, I will always remember him
as Dad.
See you again.
Yes, please send my regards to your grandmother, too.
Yes. Thank you.
Could you please review this?
Mr. Isoda, thank you for waiting.
Hi everyone.
Rental Family.
Okay.
I'm sorry, we don't offer "Apology Services" anymore.
Good luck.
Hello, Rental Family.
Yes, may I take your name?
I'm off.
