Petero no Souretsu Ep.7

What will you do if someone gives you a large amount of money for no reason?  Will you make a reason to justify?  Will you return the money because you think you don't deserve it?  

Does "evilness spread" as in Sugimura's narrations which we heard so many times?

(spoiler)  
The daughter of the old woman who was on the bus starts to tell a story to other hostages.  Her mother knew the bus-jacker.  One day the old woman was crying at a bus stop, and it was the bus-jacker who asked her if anything was wrong.  She told him her story that she had been deceived and all her money was taken away by the Nisshou Frontier.  Although he did not tell her that he had worked for that organization, he promised her and her daughter that he'll get some of her money back.

 The old man committed a bus-jack and the old woman received money from him.  The daughter thinks that the old man kept his promise and she wants to use the money for her old mother who is suffering from dementia.  She wants other hostages to keep their money, too.  

Each hostage ponders what to do with the money.....

The factory owner who desperately needs money to continue his business decides to give all his money to the old woman.  Since the bus-jacker got this money by scamming other people, the factory owner thinks that the money should be given back to those who were scammed.  He can't give the money to all the people who were scammed, but at least he can and he should help the old woman.

The bus driver decides to keep the money.  She's the head of a household and lives with her daughter.  She wants to use the money for her daughter's education.  Since the high-jacker knew about her daughter, she thinks the old man "chose" her as he wanted give money to her.

After listening to the old woman's daughter, nobody is mentioning about telling the police about the money any more.

Our guy, Sugimura thinks it is about time he quits his wife's father's company.  Deep down he knows it's not right to keep the money and he doesn't want to work for the company while being unrighteous.

He mentions about quitting work and moving out of father-in-law's house with his wife and their daughter.


Sugimura and his wife are invited to a party.  There, his wife witnesses Sugimura chatting with Mano Kyouko.  She is shocked to see them and starts to call Hashimoto, a secretary who works closely with her father.

Mano Kyouko is stalked by somebody.  It is not clear if it was Ide who had sexually harassed her or some other person.  Since Mano is a mysterious woman, it's not clear why she is stalked and she seems not to be surprised or scared.
