Final Ep: "Mahoro Ekimae Tada Benri-ken: We'll be closing down the business"


Episode Synopsis. A lot of things are going through Tada's mind. He has heard that the restaurant of his widowed customer got thrashed by an iron pipe-wielding, hooded assailant. He can't do anything to help since the proprietress refuses to press charges against the culprit who happens to be her brother. Plus, the deadline for his moving out of the office building is drawing closer. Yet Tada is still undecided whether to transfer or just close down his Benri-ya business. Then, Gyoten discovers a man stretched out on the hallway in front of their office. It was the assailant, all bloodied up and beaten to a pulp. He lets him inside but later, Tada is furious after learning about it. "We don't have to do anything for him!" But the man pleads with them: "I'm in deep trouble! Please, let me hide here for a while!..."
