At that moment, Next Innovation’s Yamagami Yoshiyuki (Sano Shiro) is shouting into the phone because Toru had gone on this overseas business trip without telling his employees. However, Toru nonchalantly says that he will stop by in Boston after New York since he can make it in time for the meeting if he takes a direct flight home. On the other hand, Natsui Makoto (Ishihara Satomi) who works at Estelle Pharmaceutical, is explaining clinical research data at a joint press conference on a new drug developed with a major American drug maker.

Ooka Tadasuke was a magistrate of Ise Yamada (modern day Ise City in Mie Prefecture). In 1712, he sentenced a thief who was causing a stir in the village.

In fact, previous magistrates had turned a blind eye to Yoshimune’s bad conduct. However, Ooka together with his friend, the Western medicine doctor Sakakibara Iori, take measures to make him admit the crime and let him go. Several years later, in 1716, Yoshimune becomes the eighth Tokugawa shogun. The following year, Ooka is relieved of his post of magistrate and ordered to return to Edo with haste. Back in 1712, Ooka had convicted Yoshimune of poaching at Ise’s Akogigaura, a place where hunting and fishing are prohibited, and arrested him. It has been a long while since Ooka visited Edo. He is welcomed by family and friends, but under the circumstances, the mood is gloomy. Ordered to present himself at the castle, Yoshimune and Ooka meet after four years.

Other than administrating the the town of Edo, Ooka also has a seat on the judicial council, manages local government affairs as well as temples and shrines.

Bothered that Yoshio had been engaged to Megumi, whom he met through an online dating site, just before his death, Mari poses as a male and registers with the website. She successfully makes contact and when she goes to Megumi’s apartment, she sees her being taken away by the police on suspicion of murdering multiple men after swindling them with the false promises of marriage. Megumi who exudes a distinct air, says she did her best to respond to whatever these men wished for so it was only right that she received money cash or gifts of value in exchange. But if they committed suicide like she alleged in her statement, why did they end their lives when they were at their happiest. As Mari attends Megumi’s trial, she gets completely absorbed in her. In order to find out Megumi’s motive, Mari travels to the island where she was born with sports newspaper reporter Kitano Kengo. Megumi’s home was a community where the descendants of clandestine Christians lived during the Tokugawa period. According to Megumi’s classmate, she had been the “island’s prettiest girl” while in her teens. Mari and Kengo are surprised by the information because it is hard to imagine this from Megumi’s present looks. They also learn about doubts surrounding the relationship between Megumi’s parents and attempt to get close to a childhood friend in an attempt to extract information on her past. What is the reason behind the twist in Megumi’s fate? After a sentence is sought for Megumi, Mari finds a painting in a church on the island. It is of two nude women waiting on an old man. Dreadful misgivings surface from seeing that painting … … Megumi who had received fake love because of her physical beauty, hated that and fixed her face to look ugly.
