00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:33,144
Mrs. Shimizu.
Mrs. Mizushima is here.
4
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:37,942
She brought you a gift.
I'll leave it in your room.
5
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:40,776
Have a nice time.
6
00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:43,849
She's always so loud.
7
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:47,284
Hello.
8
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:49,892
Mother, you look good.
9
00:00:51,318 --> 00:00:53,264
It's been a long time.
10
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,927
Three months and ten days.
11
00:00:58,659 --> 00:01:01,731
It's very sunny today.
12
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:06,138
Don't you have a hat
on to block the sunlight?
13
00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:08,267
Yes.
14
00:01:09,536 --> 00:01:11,345
What color is your hat?
15
00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:14,276
What color is your dress?
16
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:19,515
My hat is a gray Casablanca.
17
00:01:21,214 --> 00:01:23,660
My dress is gray and white.
18
00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:27,459
So stylish as always.
19
00:01:29,556 --> 00:01:31,627
I have another postcard from him.
20
00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:37,107
With a picture of Borobudur.
21
00:01:38,365 --> 00:01:40,868
You may think it's too
short as usual.
22
00:01:42,636 --> 00:01:45,014
"Dear Mother, how are you?
23
00:01:45,672 --> 00:01:49,381
"I'm in Bogor and busy everyday.
24
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:51,945
"Are your eyes getting
a little better?"
25
00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:56,320
"I've sent money to Tae.
Take care."
26
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:02,725
Mario's postcard.
27
00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:05,860
How many does this make?
28
00:02:07,928 --> 00:02:10,067
Tae, thank you.
29
00:02:35,022 --> 00:02:37,024
I'm still in Fukui.
30
00:02:38,592 --> 00:02:41,198
I'll take the 17:35
limited express.
31
00:02:43,263 --> 00:02:45,004
I'll be there tomorrow as usual.
32
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,904
Thanks a lot.
33
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:57,143
"Seeing me off to the
school trip,
34
00:02:57,144 --> 00:02:59,522
"Mom said sorry
while looking down."
35
00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:03,850
"I then knew I could
actually get over it."
36
00:03:04,751 --> 00:03:07,163
That was written by
Mr. Yokokawa, 55 years old.
37
00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:11,165
The next one is by
Mr. Narita, 28 years old.
38
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,264
"Mom don't die.
39
00:03:16,296 --> 00:03:18,105
"Till I say it's okay."
40
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,146
"Till I fulfill my
duties to you."
41
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:27,915
I'm quite moved by it
since I'm an unfilial son.
42
00:03:28,842 --> 00:03:30,185
Another one.
43
00:03:32,245 --> 00:03:35,283
"I wanted you to die
when I was young."
44
00:03:35,982 --> 00:03:38,121
"Now I want to die
for my remark."
45
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,528
By Ms. Yagi, 32 years old.
46
00:03:42,189 --> 00:03:43,691
It's somehow really shocking.
47
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:45,358
It really is.
48
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:54,742
"A Brief Message from the Heart" was
solicited by Maruoka-cho in Fukui.
49
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:58,415
Many letters have arrived
from all over Japan.
50
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:00,692
The town is surprised
by the great response.
51
00:04:01,842 --> 00:04:04,516
They received 32,236 letters!
52
00:04:06,346 --> 00:04:08,917
Our affection for our
mothers is truly strong.
53
00:04:15,222 --> 00:04:20,222
A Brief Message from the Heart.
54
00:04:48,221 --> 00:04:50,167
"Pen to Paper Award."

00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:56,873

Matsumoto.
62
00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:01,004
Maki's letter won the contest.
63
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,539
That's right.
64
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:08,177
We want to contact her
about the award ceremony.
65
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:10,880
Please have her call us.
66
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,749
I see.
67
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:18,720
Can you fax the notice to us?
68
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:25,752
Inoue.
69
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:28,924
- Redo that part.
- OK.
70
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:32,234
Maki. It's not yellow, but red.
71
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:34,972
Really?
72
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:37,804
These?
73
00:06:38,331 --> 00:06:39,331
Watch out.
74
00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:41,176
They're too high up.
75
00:06:41,535 --> 00:06:42,639
Inoue, help her.
76
00:06:45,805 --> 00:06:46,805
Thanks.
77
00:06:48,174 --> 00:06:51,178
He should be running
around, raising funds.
78
00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:55,019
I hope we can get paid today.
79
00:06:56,783 --> 00:06:59,229
This parlor's also in trouble.
80
00:06:59,953 --> 00:07:01,591
The owner is missing.
81
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:04,402
They may not pay us.
82
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:07,932
Is Mr. Sakata going to be okay?
83
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,606
Maki! You have a call.
84
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:13,212
It's your brother, Hiroshi.
85
00:07:15,669 --> 00:07:16,669
Excuse me.
86
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:21,950
What is this?
87
00:07:22,876 --> 00:07:24,048
Just read it.
88
00:07:25,211 --> 00:07:27,088
"Mom, are you happy with him?"
89
00:07:27,847 --> 00:07:29,849
"Dad said nothing,
and died quietly."
90
00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:35,265
Your letter was chosen for
"A Brief Message from the Heart."
91
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:39,369
What are you talking about?
92
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:42,700
I didn't write it or send it.
93
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:44,773
You didn't write it?
94
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:48,739
It was on your computer
when I borrowed it.
95
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:56,343
Under your letter of notice
for Dad's 49th day memorial.
96
00:07:59,846 --> 00:08:07,846
"Mom, are you happy with him?
Dad said nothing and died quietly."
97
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:15,500
You sent it without asking me.
98
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:18,435
How could you.
99
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:22,271
Where are you going?
100
00:08:22,936 --> 00:08:24,142
Back to Tokyo.
101
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,678
You're on summer vacation.
102
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,440
I'm busy.
103
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:30,584
I've rested from my
part-time job for five days.
104
00:08:30,585 --> 00:08:32,079
I have to be back by evening.
105
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:37,055
Hiroshi, wait.
106
00:08:37,984 --> 00:08:40,157
Are you attending the ceremony?
107
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,629
How much is the prize?
108
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:44,896
Don't be ridiculous.
109
00:08:45,659 --> 00:08:47,798
That wasn't my intention
when I wrote it.
110
00:08:48,495 --> 00:08:49,495
Don't be shy.
111
00:08:50,096 --> 00:08:51,370
You wrote it.
112
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:55,736
Mom may be delighted to hear it.
113
00:08:56,936 --> 00:08:59,940
When are you coming back
next? Do you have money?
114
00:09:01,074 --> 00:09:02,212
See you.
115
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:09,521
Don't forget our 100th
day memorial for Dad!
116
00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:24,371
"Dad said nothing
and died quietly."
117
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:27,166
Well done.
118
00:09:28,468 --> 00:09:29,105
Ma? I pass?
119
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:30,135
Please.
120
00:09:31,638 --> 00:09:32,742
Well...
121
00:09:34,307 --> 00:09:35,307
What's wrong?
122
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:36,742
Mr. Maehara.
123
00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:39,556
I'm all right.
124
00:09:40,713 --> 00:09:41,987
Don't worry.
125
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:44,550
Let's go.
126
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:52,167
Aren't you going to change?
127
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:56,832
Regarding that "miai"
(arranged meeting) you had...
128
00:09:57,497 --> 00:09:59,909
I turned it down for you.
129
00:10:00,967 --> 00:10:02,913
That's what you wanted, right?
130
00:10:03,837 --> 00:10:04,837
Yes.
131
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:09,475
The best thing is...
132
00:10:09,476 --> 00:10:11,649
for you to find
a husband for yourself.
133
00:10:12,645 --> 00:10:15,888
That's for the best. I'm relieved.
134
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:23,327
Let me get changed.
135
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:27,259
Dad!
136
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:29,361
What's the matter?
137
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:30,362
Dad!
138
00:10:48,515 --> 00:10:49,848
Here you go.
139
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:51,294
Your pay.
140
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:54,855
Tomorrow, work on the arcade.
141
00:10:56,189 --> 00:10:57,827
So you were able
to raise the funds.
142
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:01,362
There's only half in here!
143
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:05,173
Yours are fine. Only his.
144
00:11:06,633 --> 00:11:09,546
I'll pay you the rest
within a few days.
145
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:12,907
Gee... my wife will be grouchy.
146
00:11:13,439 --> 00:11:14,439
I'm sorry.
147
00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:18,282
You're good at apologizing
like your dead brother.
148
00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:21,216
He would profusely
apologize to me like this.
149
00:11:22,448 --> 00:11:23,483
Shall we go?
150
00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:30,727
Good night!
151
00:11:31,658 --> 00:11:33,001
Yours is OK.
152
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:34,493
What?
153
00:11:36,663 --> 00:11:40,076
Thanks for your hard work.
This is for this month's pay.
154
00:11:42,635 --> 00:11:44,911
I'm sorry for always
working you so hard.
155
00:11:45,471 --> 00:11:48,077
It's all right. I like my job.
156
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:52,544
Professor Saito of
Shinshu University
157
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:55,116
will be restoring
the cultural sites.
158
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:58,589
I'm thinking of
recommending you to him.
159
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,961
The restoration
of the historical sites?
160
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:05,467
You majored in fine arts.
161
00:12:06,025 --> 00:12:08,130
Isn't that where
your interests lie?
162
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:10,163
You took his seminar,
didn't you?
163
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:11,263
Yes.
164
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:15,971
It's in your field and it's
a great opportunity.
165
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,348
Will I be able to manage?
166
00:12:24,277 --> 00:12:26,450
Can you manage without me?
167
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,754
You'll do just fine.
168
00:12:29,549 --> 00:12:33,224
You can utilize your talent
better there, than at my place.
169
00:12:38,157 --> 00:12:40,228
Hiroshi, let's eat.
170
00:12:40,293 --> 00:12:41,293
Yes.
171
00:12:48,968 --> 00:12:50,811
I didn't order a large portion.
172
00:12:51,471 --> 00:12:52,973
You usually do.
173
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:55,346
I'll just eat it then.
174
00:12:57,877 --> 00:13:00,050
You need to eat a lot
or you'll get sick.
175
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:06,656
You hold your chopsticks funny.
176
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:08,287
What?
177
00:13:09,255 --> 00:13:10,632
Will you go make a delivery?
178
00:13:12,258 --> 00:13:13,862
She's kind to you.
179
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:17,067
Your fish is bigger than mine.
180
00:13:19,065 --> 00:13:20,408
What's going on?
181
00:13:49,395 --> 00:13:50,862
Are you the owner?
182
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:52,365
Yes, I am.
183
00:13:53,599 --> 00:13:55,670
We're looking for a girl...
184
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:59,673
named Yoshimura
Yumiko from Kyushu.
185
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:02,319
We heard that she's
working here.
186
00:14:03,009 --> 00:14:04,147
Yes, she's here.
187
00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:05,945
Where is she?
188
00:14:06,412 --> 00:14:07,823
Making a delivery.
189
00:14:08,581 --> 00:14:09,651
So, she'll be back.
190
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:12,428
What did she do?
191
00:14:13,453 --> 00:14:16,662
She disappeared from a bar
where she owes two million yen.
192
00:14:17,623 --> 00:14:19,102
We were asked to find her.
193
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:28,137
Drive safely!
194
00:14:29,836 --> 00:14:31,042
Hey, you.
195
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,420
Where are you going?
196
00:14:42,248 --> 00:14:43,727
Give me a ride.
197
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:46,354
I can't. It's the company's car.
198
00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:48,521
I'm heading back
to Setagaya, Tokyo.
199
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:51,566
That's fine. Give me a ride.
200
00:14:59,766 --> 00:15:00,766
Please.
201
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:05,708
No. I don't want trouble.
202
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:10,252
Drive away quickly. Please!
203
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:12,481
Oh, gosh.
204
00:15:16,149 --> 00:15:17,753
So, you owe two million yen.
205
00:15:19,318 --> 00:15:20,422
That's not true.
206
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:23,722
I had a live-in job at
a snack shop, and they
207
00:15:23,723 --> 00:15:27,364
tried to charge me two million yen
for the rent, clothes, and food.
208
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:29,980
They wanted me to return
it through prostitution.
209
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:31,602
That's terrible.
210
00:15:32,198 --> 00:15:33,541
Why did you work there?
211
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:36,638
I was new in Tokyo.
212
00:15:37,403 --> 00:15:40,384
I had just come out from
Kyushu, looking for a live-in job.
213
00:15:41,707 --> 00:15:45,154
It doesn't look like
they will easily give up.
214
00:15:46,846 --> 00:15:48,189
What are you going to do?
215
00:15:49,015 --> 00:15:50,858
Do you have friends in Tokyo?
216
00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:55,289
Are you going back to Kyushu?
217
00:15:56,656 --> 00:15:57,964
No, I'm not going back.
218
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:02,069
Stop. I'm getting off.
219
00:16:03,162 --> 00:16:05,369
What? Here?
220
00:16:49,075 --> 00:16:50,145
It's ready.
221
00:16:51,277 --> 00:16:52,756
Come and sleep here.
222
00:16:56,315 --> 00:16:57,623
Where will you sleep?
223
00:16:59,151 --> 00:17:01,256
Is that what you were
worried about?
224
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:03,028
I'll stay at my friend's.
225
00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:09,072
There's nothing to eat.
226
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:11,702
Do you have money on you?
227
00:17:12,331 --> 00:17:13,331
Yes, I do.
228
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:14,666
Sure?
229
00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:17,646
Yeah. Don't worry about me.
230
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:21,012
Make yourself at home.
231
00:17:22,942 --> 00:17:24,615
Just find a place to live.
232
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:30,488
Leave the key in the mailbox.
233
00:17:33,286 --> 00:17:34,424
See you.
234
00:17:35,788 --> 00:17:37,062
You...
235
00:17:38,558 --> 00:17:40,663
trust me?
236
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:43,738
Shouldn't I?
237
00:17:45,031 --> 00:17:46,339
I trust you.
238
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:48,438
Thanks.
239
00:17:50,036 --> 00:17:52,038
I'll look for a place tomorrow.
240
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:54,607
Sorry about tonight.
241
00:17:54,841 --> 00:17:55,911
Yeah.
242
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:53,732
Hiroshi?
243
00:18:55,067 --> 00:18:56,205
I'm here.
244
00:19:06,078 --> 00:19:07,489
Will you look at this?
245
00:19:08,447 --> 00:19:10,449
This is for today's expenses.
246
00:19:16,455 --> 00:19:17,866
And...
247
00:19:19,292 --> 00:19:21,363
Dad left this for us.
248
00:19:22,595 --> 00:19:24,871
Check it carefully.
249
00:19:32,805 --> 00:19:34,785
We still have a lot of money left.
250
00:19:35,741 --> 00:19:37,914
Not really.
251
00:19:40,246 --> 00:19:42,954
You still have another
year to go in college.
252
00:19:42,955 --> 00:19:45,793
It's not a lot for our future.
253
00:19:47,953 --> 00:19:50,126
We can't simply divide it.
254
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:53,427
We'll need some money
for your wedding, too.
255
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:55,063
Be serious.
256
00:19:56,796 --> 00:20:00,903
You have to be more realistic
about our financial matters.
257
00:20:02,234 --> 00:20:03,736
We only have each other.
258
00:20:05,104 --> 00:20:06,174
I know.
259
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:10,779
What are you going to do
about your marriage?
260
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:13,456
Didn't Dad arrange a
marriage meeting for you,
261
00:20:13,457 --> 00:20:15,050
right before he died?
262
00:20:16,082 --> 00:20:18,926
I only went to it because
I was obligated...
263
00:20:20,686 --> 00:20:23,360
He turned it down for me.
264
00:20:25,324 --> 00:20:27,201
Dad! What's the matter?
265
00:20:28,294 --> 00:20:29,294
Dad!
266
00:20:33,366 --> 00:20:36,142
I don't plan to get married yet.
267
00:20:38,304 --> 00:20:41,376
I just found a job that
I really enjoy.
268
00:20:44,510 --> 00:20:46,717
Historical site restoration.
269
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,687
Sakata recommended me for it.
270
00:20:51,484 --> 00:20:53,486
Don't put the emphasis on me.
271
00:20:56,021 --> 00:20:59,833
Hiroshi, Dad was most
worried about you.
272
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:02,568
I can imagine.
273
00:21:04,397 --> 00:21:08,038
Unlike you, I never felt
close to Dad.
274
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:10,877
We never talked intimately.
275
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:17,008
The only fond memory
I have of him...
276
00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:20,345
is when I was in
junior high school...
277
00:21:20,346 --> 00:21:22,019
and we went trout fishing.
278
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:28,031
We fished till it became
pitch dark.
279
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:43,001
Do you remember the time
two kittens wandered in here
280
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:45,846
and we fed them?
281
00:21:47,506 --> 00:21:49,179
Yes, I remember.
282
00:21:59,085 --> 00:22:00,325
Are those cats?
283
00:22:00,386 --> 00:22:01,386
Yes.
284
00:22:02,021 --> 00:22:03,261
Kittens?
285
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,868
It's OK.
286
00:22:10,396 --> 00:22:12,933
Then the mother cat
came to the gate...
287
00:22:12,934 --> 00:22:14,411
and was watching intently.
288
00:22:15,868 --> 00:22:19,645
The mother cat wouldn't
eat our food.
289
00:22:20,639 --> 00:22:22,141
She never came close.
290
00:22:36,121 --> 00:22:42,436
Everyday, she would come
and watch the kittens eat.
291
00:22:43,329 --> 00:22:45,935
Then one day she stopped
coming all of a sudden.
292
00:22:48,467 --> 00:22:51,004
It's time to eat. Come.
293
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:54,782
Mama cat!
294
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:56,312
Where did she go?
295
00:22:57,142 --> 00:22:59,122
Isn't she sad?
296
00:23:03,949 --> 00:23:05,622
Yes, she's sad.
297
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:09,697
Why wouldn't she be,
without her kittens?
298
00:23:14,660 --> 00:23:18,496
But she saw you taking
care of them.
299
00:23:18,497 --> 00:23:20,238
So she felt assured.
300
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:23,808
Of course she's sad...
301
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:31,279
I think it was our mom he
was actually talking about.
302
00:23:47,893 --> 00:23:51,568
Maki, I'm hungry.
303
00:23:53,198 --> 00:23:54,404
I'll make tea.
304
00:23:59,939 --> 00:24:01,782
Do you know where Mom is?
305
00:24:02,908 --> 00:24:04,785
Would her parents know?
306
00:24:06,912 --> 00:24:08,619
Maybe I should find her
and meet her.
307
00:24:10,049 --> 00:24:11,357
Don't do that, Hiroshi.
308
00:24:12,384 --> 00:24:15,263
Why do you say that on
Dad's memorial day?
309
00:24:16,355 --> 00:24:18,596
My message wasn't for her.
310
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:21,571
Why did you send it
without asking me first?
311
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:24,039
What are you thinking of?
312
00:24:25,598 --> 00:24:27,009
You keep talking about her.
313
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:29,112
Don't you feel badly
towards Dad?
314
00:24:32,004 --> 00:24:34,280
These are tasty.
315
00:24:55,294 --> 00:24:56,329
Hello, Mama.
316
00:24:57,296 --> 00:24:58,570
Hello, Tae Mama.
317
00:24:59,131 --> 00:25:00,474
You're looking better.
318
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,077
Thank you for coming to see me.
319
00:25:09,141 --> 00:25:10,821
This is an invitation
to my get-well party.
320
00:25:12,778 --> 00:25:15,680
I sent them out to all
my customers.
321
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:18,059
Not even half are coming.
322
00:25:19,485 --> 00:25:21,192
Business isn't looking good.
323
00:25:22,421 --> 00:25:23,525
How is it at Daphne?
324
00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:25,830
If you're not doing well,
why would I...
325
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:27,063
Coffee, please.
326
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,359
Yes, right away.
327
00:25:29,962 --> 00:25:31,339
How's your health?
328
00:25:33,098 --> 00:25:35,078
My liver is so-so.
329
00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:40,817
I haven't been taking
care of myself until now.
330
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:42,683
So I'm falling apart.
331
00:25:44,810 --> 00:25:47,347
You've been in this
business for a long time, too.
332
00:25:47,348 --> 00:25:49,121
I'm sure you're ill somewhere.
333
00:25:49,982 --> 00:25:51,052
Maybe.
334
00:25:52,484 --> 00:25:54,191
You should go see a doctor.
335
00:25:56,955 --> 00:25:58,866
So it sounds hopeless...
336
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:02,003
Your source is reliable.
337
00:26:02,861 --> 00:26:07,571
Kimura with Equity News said the
stocks won't rise in this century.
338
00:26:08,367 --> 00:26:10,040
This century? That long?
339
00:26:11,070 --> 00:26:13,414
Oh, no. I'll be an old lady.
340
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:15,979
There are only five years
left in this century.
341
00:26:16,175 --> 00:26:17,210
That's true.
342
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,080
It's not funny. I won't be
able to last for five years.
343
00:26:21,981 --> 00:26:24,052
Welcome.
344
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:27,586
Mama, you have a call.
345
00:26:28,887 --> 00:26:30,423
Hello.
346
00:26:31,089 --> 00:26:32,363
It's from Kawata-sensei.
347
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:35,538
He's working in the hotel
to meet his deadline.
348
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:39,036
Hello?
349
00:26:40,532 --> 00:26:42,671
How can you not show up
here when you're close by?
350
00:26:45,904 --> 00:26:47,406
Are you out of ideas?
351
00:26:48,707 --> 00:26:49,845
Really?
352
00:26:51,076 --> 00:26:52,783
Are you sure?
353
00:26:53,879 --> 00:26:55,916
I'll be there later.
354
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,576
Thank you very much.
355
00:27:25,411 --> 00:27:26,890
Thank you.
356
00:27:30,282 --> 00:27:31,488
What are you looking at?
357
00:27:32,084 --> 00:27:33,222
Are you looking for a bar?
358
00:27:33,819 --> 00:27:35,025
I'm looking for Daphne.
359
00:27:35,721 --> 00:27:36,927
That's us.
360
00:27:37,656 --> 00:27:39,966
You're kidding.
361
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,631
I'm not. Come.
362
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:53,742
Welcome.
363
00:27:54,273 --> 00:27:55,907
I'm stepping out for a while.
364
00:27:55,908 --> 00:27:56,908
See you later.
365
00:27:59,745 --> 00:28:01,212
Is she the Mama?
366
00:28:01,213 --> 00:28:02,283
Yes, that's right.
367
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:04,858
Come in.
368
00:28:12,658 --> 00:28:14,160
What would you like?
369
00:28:15,961 --> 00:28:17,201
A keep bottle?
370
00:28:17,996 --> 00:28:20,398
Isn't this place expensive?
371
00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:22,037
Of course.
372
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:24,976
Are you a student?
373
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:28,544
Yeah. Do you accept
credit cards?
374
00:28:29,942 --> 00:28:30,942
So you'll buy a bottle.
375
00:28:33,779 --> 00:28:34,780
It's open.
376
00:28:38,350 --> 00:28:40,853
It's me. Can I come in?
377
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:42,996
Hi. Mama. Come in.
378
00:28:47,993 --> 00:28:50,530
Is that for me? Pour me a glass.
379
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:53,607
Am I bothering you?
380
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:56,745
How's your bar doing?
381
00:28:57,603 --> 00:28:59,241
I must owe you a lot.
382
00:29:00,205 --> 00:29:03,550
Yes. And we're about
to go out of business.
383
00:29:05,144 --> 00:29:07,750
Are you doing that bad?
384
00:29:09,781 --> 00:29:12,785
Actually, the business
isn't my concern.
385
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,868
I'm feeling distressed.
386
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:26,641
Maybe I should be doing
something different.
387
00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:29,312
So I wanted to talk to you.
388
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:34,084
So you're finally
showing some weakness.
389
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,778
Shall I seduce you again?
390
00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:37,549
You're just all talk.
391
00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:40,448
What kind of story is it?
392
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:43,987
The usual.
393
00:29:46,585 --> 00:29:49,327
A woman who can't get
married or become a mistress.
394
00:29:50,055 --> 00:29:51,864
But who can't live alone.
395
00:29:53,558 --> 00:29:57,597
She's too pretty so she
becomes a victim to her looks.
396
00:29:58,463 --> 00:29:59,806
That's the gist of the story.
397
00:30:00,766 --> 00:30:02,973
How old is she? Is she
in the bar business?
398
00:30:02,974 --> 00:30:04,038
Yeah.
399
00:30:05,737 --> 00:30:08,946
Never mind that and
have a drink, too.
400
00:30:10,776 --> 00:30:11,776
I will.
401
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:19,824
The restaurants and clubs
that the owner, Shimamura,
402
00:30:19,851 --> 00:30:22,058
had bought in Singapore
will be opening shortly.
403
00:30:22,888 --> 00:30:24,060
So I heard.
404
00:30:25,023 --> 00:30:26,434
He called me.
405
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,136
He wanted to meet me
when he came back.
406
00:30:32,598 --> 00:30:34,278
That's probably what
he's going to tell me.
407
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,801
I see.
408
00:30:37,102 --> 00:30:39,810
By the way, Miyuki
wants to quit.
409
00:30:41,873 --> 00:30:44,285
She's opening her own
bar in Yotsuya.
410
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:49,890
Is that right?
411
00:30:50,916 --> 00:30:54,295
She's young and shrewd.
412
00:30:56,388 --> 00:30:58,390
I'll find someone to replace her.
413
00:31:10,936 --> 00:31:12,040
Good night.
414
00:31:26,985 --> 00:31:27,986
Good evening.
415
00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:29,625
Who are you?
416
00:31:31,156 --> 00:31:32,635
I'm Hiroshi.
417
00:31:36,528 --> 00:31:37,973
Maehara Hiroshi.
418
00:31:43,602 --> 00:31:44,842
Hiroshi...
419
00:31:47,305 --> 00:31:49,649
I went to your bar
but you were out.
420
00:31:50,442 --> 00:31:52,479
So I was waiting for you here.
421
00:31:54,980 --> 00:31:56,323
What is it?
422
00:31:58,083 --> 00:31:59,585
What do you want?
423
00:32:00,886 --> 00:32:03,890
Nothing. Nothing at all.
424
00:32:07,392 --> 00:32:09,895
Don't surprise me like this.
425
00:32:13,665 --> 00:32:18,045
I can't see your face
very well in this dark.
426
00:32:19,571 --> 00:32:20,879
Come inside.
427
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:31,860
So you went to my bar.
428
00:32:35,253 --> 00:32:37,392
How did you find it?
429
00:32:39,257 --> 00:32:42,727
I called your family in Fukui.
430
00:32:51,203 --> 00:32:53,114
How's your father?
431
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:57,648
He passed away.
432
00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:03,990
He collapsed from
a heart attack in April.
433
00:33:06,918 --> 00:33:10,263
We held a 100th day memorial
service for him recently.
434
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:15,861
I see.
435
00:33:26,271 --> 00:33:30,117
So, is Maki doing fine?
436
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:36,116
What are you doing?
437
00:33:37,449 --> 00:33:39,429
I'm a senior in college.
438
00:33:40,986 --> 00:33:42,932
So you're in college...
439
00:33:43,622 --> 00:33:45,101
Where do you live now?
440
00:33:47,492 --> 00:33:48,937
What's so funny?
441
00:33:51,496 --> 00:33:55,342
I feel like I'm being
interrogated by you.
442
00:33:58,069 --> 00:33:59,912
But I guess it can't be helped.
443
00:34:00,806 --> 00:34:03,150
It's like we're meeting
for the first time.
444
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:10,185
Can I ask you something?
445
00:34:14,853 --> 00:34:16,423
Are you single now?
446
00:34:17,956 --> 00:34:19,867
Are you living with someone?
447
00:34:22,193 --> 00:34:26,005
I am... alone.
448
00:34:40,045 --> 00:34:41,649
You can drink, can't you?
449
00:34:43,782 --> 00:34:46,888
As you can see,
I am living here alone.
450
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:50,700
What did you expect?
451
00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:54,630
So, it's OK for me to be here.
452
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,534
I'm glad I came.
453
00:35:14,846 --> 00:35:16,223
Are you leaving?
454
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:24,456
Don't you want
something from me?
455
00:35:25,423 --> 00:35:27,061
Tell me.
456
00:35:28,026 --> 00:35:29,869
No, there's nothing.
457
00:35:30,829 --> 00:35:33,332
I just wanted to see
your face, Mama.
458
00:35:39,104 --> 00:35:43,450
Mama? That's not nice.
459
00:35:45,110 --> 00:35:46,145
I see.
460
00:35:58,056 --> 00:36:00,297
Good night, Mom.
461
00:36:01,259 --> 00:36:05,036
What? Oh. Good night.
462
00:36:07,465 --> 00:36:11,470
Mom... you're very pretty.
463
00:36:12,771 --> 00:36:14,648
That makes me happy.
464
00:36:16,942 --> 00:36:18,114
See you again.
465
00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:47,443
He called me Mom.
466
00:36:50,442 --> 00:36:52,615
Oh, God...
467
00:37:12,831 --> 00:37:15,402
The images need to be fixed.
468
00:37:20,138 --> 00:37:23,813
There are patterns here.
Use the infrared ray camera.
469
00:37:25,377 --> 00:37:27,050
Maki. Bring the camera.
470
00:37:32,717 --> 00:37:33,752
Here you go.
471
00:37:37,355 --> 00:37:38,355
Be careful.
472
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:43,603
Japan's culture involves
mainly wood and paper.
473
00:37:44,362 --> 00:37:47,275
Unlike stones and metals,
they are fragile.
474
00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:52,302
The repairs are crucial
to preserving them...
475
00:37:52,303 --> 00:37:54,510
for thousands of years.
476
00:37:55,507 --> 00:37:57,043
Will you give us examples?
477
00:37:58,009 --> 00:37:59,283
Horyu-ji Temple.
478
00:38:00,111 --> 00:38:02,819
The picture scroll
of the "Tale of Genji".
479
00:38:06,184 --> 00:38:10,098
They're in better
condition than we expected.
480
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:15,161
I wonder if Sakata can help.
481
00:38:16,094 --> 00:38:19,837
He's been busy with his company.
482
00:38:21,099 --> 00:38:22,305
Isn't that right, Maki?
483
00:38:23,368 --> 00:38:24,368
Yes.
484
00:38:25,604 --> 00:38:30,576
His specialty is in the
Kamakura period arts.
485
00:38:31,576 --> 00:38:33,078
Have him look at this.
486
00:38:34,412 --> 00:38:35,412
Maki.
487
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:37,651
Take this to him.
488
00:38:57,836 --> 00:38:59,247
Sakata Exterior Company.
489
00:39:00,238 --> 00:39:01,238
Yes.
490
00:39:03,141 --> 00:39:04,711
Mr. Sakata is out at the moment.
491
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:09,350
He isn't pretending to be
out. He really is out.
492
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:14,163
I see. Please call again later.
493
00:39:19,491 --> 00:39:23,098
Thanks. Yuji had asked
me to answer the calls.
494
00:39:23,728 --> 00:39:26,174
The person said he'll
call back later.
495
00:39:26,931 --> 00:39:27,669
Hello, Emi.
496
00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:28,670
Hello.
497
00:39:29,467 --> 00:39:33,711
Professor Saito asked me
to give this to Mr. Sakata.
498
00:39:34,672 --> 00:39:37,653
He wants Mr. Sakatas help.
499
00:39:38,343 --> 00:39:39,413
Thanks.
500
00:39:40,345 --> 00:39:43,758
Yuji is out with Inoue
on business.
501
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,721
After my husband died. Yuji
quit his teaching job at the
502
00:39:47,722 --> 00:39:49,721
university to help me out
with this company.
503
00:39:50,455 --> 00:39:52,492
But I'm sure he'd want
to go back to it.
504
00:39:55,126 --> 00:39:56,126
Thanks.
505
00:40:00,598 --> 00:40:02,805
Maki, do you want
to come with us?
506
00:40:03,568 --> 00:40:05,809
Our high school buddies
are getting together at Toru's.
507
00:40:06,504 --> 00:40:07,504
Join us.
508
00:40:08,006 --> 00:40:10,316
I still have work to do.
509
00:40:11,309 --> 00:40:13,653
Work? You're so diligent.
510
00:40:14,445 --> 00:40:15,617
You must not have a lover.
511
00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:17,140
That's none of your business.
512
00:40:17,615 --> 00:40:18,855
You can call me anytime.
513
00:40:35,533 --> 00:40:39,675
Please wait while your
messages are retrieved.
514
00:40:46,144 --> 00:40:47,144
Maki.
515
00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:49,654
I need money right away.
516
00:40:50,648 --> 00:40:54,460
Please deposit 200,000 yen
into my account tomorrow.
517
00:41:15,807 --> 00:41:17,115
Oh, brother...
518
00:41:18,843 --> 00:41:20,982
What did you get
yourself into now, Hiroshi?
519
00:41:39,230 --> 00:41:41,574
He needs 200,000 yen
by tomorrow?
520
00:41:48,406 --> 00:41:49,406
Hiroko?
521
00:41:49,941 --> 00:41:51,045
It's me.
522
00:41:51,643 --> 00:41:55,523
I was about to cook dinner,
but I didn't feel like eating alone.
523
00:41:56,314 --> 00:41:58,419
Would you like to go
out? I'll treat.
524
00:41:58,950 --> 00:42:00,554
We can go to a nice restaurant.
525
00:42:01,019 --> 00:42:03,090
How about French?
526
00:42:06,124 --> 00:42:07,797
You have a date?
527
00:42:09,027 --> 00:42:10,301
What?
528
00:42:10,962 --> 00:42:13,465
It was just the other day
that you said you didn't
529
00:42:13,466 --> 00:42:16,001
need any men in your life
and that you'd live for work.
530
00:42:17,135 --> 00:42:18,135
Never mind.
531
00:42:41,626 --> 00:42:44,630
Please leave a message.
532
00:42:46,297 --> 00:42:47,297
Damn it!
533
00:42:55,273 --> 00:42:56,411
Yes?
534
00:42:59,644 --> 00:43:01,385
Good morning. Where's Mama?
535
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,152
She just went out with
a young man.
536
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:08,221
She went to Sarah's.
537
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,526
A young man?
538
00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:12,662
Is he her new lover?
539
00:43:13,257 --> 00:43:16,261
Well, she seemed
a bit preoccupied.
540
00:43:17,695 --> 00:43:20,642
So, you siblings only
have each other.
541
00:43:23,234 --> 00:43:25,407
How are you doing
with your finances?
542
00:43:27,105 --> 00:43:28,607
It costs money to go to college.
543
00:43:29,674 --> 00:43:30,675
We'll be fine.
544
00:43:31,843 --> 00:43:33,220
Dad left us some money.
545
00:43:34,312 --> 00:43:35,552
And I have a part-time job.
546
00:43:36,180 --> 00:43:37,682
Maki has a job, too.
547
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:41,987
But you must be tapping
into the money he left.
548
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:47,629
It must be tough.
549
00:43:50,795 --> 00:43:52,515
What are you going
to do after you graduate?
550
00:43:54,866 --> 00:43:57,244
Dad used to ask me
that often, too.
551
00:43:58,469 --> 00:44:01,348
I have no idea.
552
00:44:04,642 --> 00:44:06,622
I worry as your mom.
553
00:44:08,279 --> 00:44:09,416
Would you like another cup?
554
00:44:09,417 --> 00:44:10,417
No, thanks.
555
00:44:12,850 --> 00:44:15,729
By the way, Mom...
Would you like to go out?
556
00:44:16,254 --> 00:44:17,324
I'll drive.
557
00:44:18,423 --> 00:44:19,766
Where are we going?
558
00:44:23,928 --> 00:44:27,000
I've an appointment today.
559
00:44:30,968 --> 00:44:32,106
Wait a second.
560
00:44:40,678 --> 00:44:43,522
Shimamura wants to see
me on the Singapore matter.
561
00:44:44,315 --> 00:44:45,521
The owner wants to see you?
562
00:44:47,018 --> 00:44:48,019
I see.
563
00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:52,226
I brought last month's books.
564
00:44:52,790 --> 00:44:54,326
But that must not be all.
565
00:44:55,259 --> 00:44:57,397
How much was the
loss last month?
566
00:44:57,398 --> 00:44:59,306
We're 44% in the red
from the budget.
567
00:44:59,797 --> 00:45:00,864
Welcome.
568
00:45:00,865 --> 00:45:01,865
I'll have coffee.
569
00:45:05,136 --> 00:45:06,342
What time is the appointment?
570
00:45:07,839 --> 00:45:09,944
I should be going already.
571
00:45:11,309 --> 00:45:12,310
Who is he?
572
00:45:13,544 --> 00:45:14,579
Him?
573
00:45:16,347 --> 00:45:17,553
My son.
574
00:45:21,018 --> 00:45:22,861
Are you surprised?
575
00:45:23,654 --> 00:45:24,792
Yes, I am.
576
00:45:27,391 --> 00:45:28,836
Will you do me a favor?
577
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,068
Will you go alone
to see Shimamura?
578
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,450
I don't feel like
discussing business today.
579
00:45:41,339 --> 00:45:42,339
Where are we going?
580
00:45:43,307 --> 00:45:44,581
We can go anywhere you want.
581
00:45:45,143 --> 00:45:46,213
Where do you want to go?
582
00:45:46,677 --> 00:45:47,712
I'll let you decide.
583
00:45:49,714 --> 00:45:51,352
Did you buy this car?
584
00:45:52,350 --> 00:45:54,694
I bought it with my pay
from my part-time job.
585
00:45:55,152 --> 00:45:56,187
It's a cheap, used car.
586
00:45:57,221 --> 00:46:01,567
Do you drive this car
around with your girlfriend?
587
00:46:03,194 --> 00:46:04,400
Come on.
588
00:46:05,530 --> 00:46:07,271
Don't you have a girlfriend?
589
00:46:08,299 --> 00:46:09,778
You look like the popular type.
590
00:46:14,038 --> 00:46:16,382
I can only remember
Maki when she was seven.
591
00:46:17,141 --> 00:46:18,279
Is she pretty?
592
00:46:19,110 --> 00:46:20,953
I think she's so-so.
593
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:26,050
Does she know that
you're seeing me?
594
00:46:27,385 --> 00:46:28,420
No.
595
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,301
She'd be angry if she knew.
596
00:46:37,261 --> 00:46:38,740
Where are we?
597
00:46:43,167 --> 00:46:44,578
You don't smoke, do you?
598
00:46:45,603 --> 00:46:47,810
I'm sorry for smoking.
599
00:46:55,279 --> 00:46:56,622
The weather is nice.
600
00:46:58,116 --> 00:47:01,620
I haven't felt so good
in a long time.
601
00:47:03,321 --> 00:47:04,493
Is that right?
602
00:47:07,492 --> 00:47:11,167
I'm so happy and relaxed...
603
00:47:11,829 --> 00:47:13,365
You can go to sleep.
604
00:47:14,298 --> 00:47:16,778
Are you sure?
I'm really going to sleep.
605
00:47:21,305 --> 00:47:22,909
You're so kind.
606
00:47:25,476 --> 00:47:27,387
Don't kind guys lose out?
607
00:47:27,979 --> 00:47:28,980
What?
608
00:47:33,284 --> 00:47:36,026
But thanks to that,
we got to meet.
609
00:47:39,490 --> 00:47:40,992
Hiroshi, thank you.
610
00:47:45,930 --> 00:47:47,170
Buy it for me.
611
00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:48,768
That's enough!
612
00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:50,370
I want it.
613
00:47:54,272 --> 00:47:55,444
Mom.
614
00:47:57,475 --> 00:47:58,476
Let's eat.
615
00:48:01,178 --> 00:48:02,589
Isn't this Lake Suwa?
616
00:48:03,848 --> 00:48:05,225
We came so far.
617
00:48:06,484 --> 00:48:07,484
Yeah.
618
00:48:08,419 --> 00:48:09,557
Have some.
619
00:48:25,069 --> 00:48:26,069
Hiroshi.
620
00:48:27,171 --> 00:48:29,242
What a funny way
to hold the chopsticks...
621
00:48:30,174 --> 00:48:32,245
You used to hold them
like that as a child, too.
622
00:48:33,477 --> 00:48:34,683
This is the proper way.
623
00:48:36,547 --> 00:48:38,549
Someone told me the
same thing recently.
624
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:39,916
Who?
625
00:48:41,519 --> 00:48:43,362
The noodles here are tasty.
626
00:48:44,055 --> 00:48:45,398
Aren't you going to eat?
627
00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:47,528
I'm full.
628
00:48:49,193 --> 00:48:50,934
I'm all choked up.
629
00:48:53,030 --> 00:48:55,442
You brought me all the way here.
630
00:48:57,201 --> 00:48:59,807
And you made me
remember the past...
631
00:49:05,543 --> 00:49:07,853
Do you want to see Maki?
632
00:49:09,647 --> 00:49:10,819
Maki?
633
00:49:14,185 --> 00:49:17,428
But she doesn't know
that we're seeing each other.
634
00:49:18,222 --> 00:49:19,462
That's why.
635
00:49:30,634 --> 00:49:32,875
"Mom, are you happy with him?"
636
00:49:34,472 --> 00:49:36,076
"Father said..."
637
00:49:41,379 --> 00:49:42,483
What is this?
638
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,351
"A Brief Message from the Heart."
639
00:49:46,217 --> 00:49:47,787
She wrote it.
640
00:49:48,953 --> 00:49:50,694
Let's go to see her.
641
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,437
So, Maki wrote this...
642
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,076
Why did you leave home?
643
00:50:42,373 --> 00:50:44,114
You didn't get along with Dad?
644
00:50:48,078 --> 00:50:52,493
I know how Dad was, since
I lived with him for 22 years.
645
00:50:54,552 --> 00:50:56,498
Was he too set in his ways?
646
00:50:57,454 --> 00:51:00,264
No. He was a nice man.
647
00:51:03,928 --> 00:51:05,669
He was a very nice man.
648
00:51:08,966 --> 00:51:11,537
Anything I say will
sound like an excuse.
649
00:51:12,937 --> 00:51:16,214
But our marriage wasn't
right from the start.
650
00:51:20,511 --> 00:51:25,615
When we met, I had a lover...
651
00:51:25,616 --> 00:51:29,587
that I had just broken up with.
652
00:51:31,655 --> 00:51:34,636
Your dad knew that
when we got married.
653
00:51:37,528 --> 00:51:39,599
We had Maki and you.
654
00:51:42,233 --> 00:51:45,908
But I started seeing
my lover again.
655
00:51:49,340 --> 00:51:52,617
So I finally left home.
656
00:52:02,086 --> 00:52:03,997
I had abandoned all of you.
657
00:52:07,958 --> 00:52:10,097
I can never make it up.
658
00:52:14,498 --> 00:52:16,978
What is your lover doing now?
659
00:52:18,869 --> 00:52:22,578
He worked for a trading firm.
660
00:52:23,374 --> 00:52:25,479
He would often go
abroad for business.
661
00:52:26,110 --> 00:52:28,556
And I had a small
business of my own.
662
00:52:29,279 --> 00:52:32,590
We didn't live
together for very long.
663
00:52:34,318 --> 00:52:37,720
He died three years ago...
664
00:52:37,721 --> 00:52:40,292
in a car accident in Jakarta.
665
00:52:42,526 --> 00:52:44,836
I've lived alone like
this, ever since.
666
00:52:49,266 --> 00:52:51,439
This place has changed a lot.
667
00:52:53,571 --> 00:52:56,916
But the sky is the same.
668
00:52:58,509 --> 00:52:59,715
And the castle.
669
00:53:17,695 --> 00:53:21,370
Would you like to come in?
670
00:53:26,437 --> 00:53:28,542
No, I can't.
671
00:53:29,506 --> 00:53:30,712
Why not?
672
00:53:33,010 --> 00:53:37,220
I have something
to pick up from home.
673
00:54:55,826 --> 00:54:58,761
It's this way. Go straight.
674
00:54:58,762 --> 00:55:00,366
Tum right at the third comer.
675
00:55:00,964 --> 00:55:01,964
Thanks.
676
00:55:06,470 --> 00:55:09,713
I found out where Maki works.
677
00:55:14,011 --> 00:55:17,481
That man's name is Sakata.
What do you think of him?
678
00:55:20,250 --> 00:55:23,322
Maki was working for his
company until recently.
679
00:55:24,254 --> 00:55:26,063
She seems to be in
love with him.
680
00:55:26,857 --> 00:55:30,600
Oh, my. I should've taken
a better look at him.
681
00:56:10,301 --> 00:56:13,680
That one. The back
side of the pillar.
682
00:56:14,572 --> 00:56:15,676
Hold it right there.
683
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:17,040
It's very dark.
684
00:56:17,174 --> 00:56:18,209
What's going on?
685
00:56:26,050 --> 00:56:27,256
Is this it?
686
00:56:28,986 --> 00:56:30,863
The mark is terrible.
687
00:56:32,890 --> 00:56:34,096
Inject some there!
688
00:57:48,565 --> 00:57:49,565
Ms. Maehara.
689
00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:52,105
We need more parchment.
690
00:57:53,003 --> 00:57:54,038
I'll get it.
691
00:58:35,012 --> 00:58:36,012
Maki.
692
00:58:38,048 --> 00:58:39,618
Take the ink to the front.
693
00:58:41,818 --> 00:58:42,819
Yes.
694
00:58:46,390 --> 00:58:47,630
I'll bring it right away.
695
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,640
Hello.
696
00:59:28,232 --> 00:59:30,234
Mom! I was looking
all over for you.
697
00:59:31,635 --> 00:59:32,635
Did you see Maki?
698
00:59:33,337 --> 00:59:34,337
Yes.
699
00:59:34,571 --> 00:59:35,571
Did you talk to her?
700
00:59:36,073 --> 00:59:37,073
I couldn't.
701
00:59:37,441 --> 00:59:38,545
I'll call her.
702
00:59:39,076 --> 00:59:39,679
Talk to her.
703
00:59:40,043 --> 00:59:41,043
No, Hiroshi.
704
00:59:42,045 --> 00:59:43,045
Let's go.
705
00:59:43,947 --> 00:59:44,947
Why?
706
00:59:45,949 --> 00:59:49,123
You came all the way
here. How disappointing.
707
00:59:49,686 --> 00:59:50,686
Thanks.
708
00:59:53,223 --> 00:59:57,103
I want to take it slowly.
709
00:59:59,830 --> 01:00:01,138
This is enough for today.
710
01:00:05,135 --> 01:00:07,240
Mama. Where are you now?
711
01:00:09,539 --> 01:00:10,745
Matsumoto?
712
01:00:13,010 --> 01:00:14,216
Yes... that's right.
713
01:00:16,179 --> 01:00:18,682
The owner wanted to talk
to you about Singapore.
714
01:00:19,516 --> 01:00:21,052
I'm going to decline it.
715
01:00:22,786 --> 01:00:24,265
I'm not going to Singapore.
716
01:00:25,989 --> 01:00:27,059
I see.
717
01:00:29,526 --> 01:00:33,770
But he wants to see you
tonight to talk about it.
718
01:00:36,433 --> 01:00:40,074
OK. Anyway, I'll go and see him.
719
01:00:46,209 --> 01:00:47,210
What's up?
720
01:00:48,111 --> 01:00:49,351
Are you in a rush to go back?
721
01:00:49,813 --> 01:00:51,053
Yes. I'll go back by train.
722
01:00:52,048 --> 01:00:54,255
I need some time alone
to think things over.
723
01:00:55,685 --> 01:00:56,685
Sorry.
724
01:01:00,590 --> 01:01:02,365
You have a hard job.
725
01:01:03,060 --> 01:01:05,267
It's hard to earn money.
726
01:01:05,929 --> 01:01:07,636
You should know it... you work.
727
01:01:08,565 --> 01:01:12,843
Maybe I'll ask you for
a favor the next time.
728
01:01:13,904 --> 01:01:14,905
What is it about?
729
01:01:15,572 --> 01:01:16,676
A job for a girl.
730
01:01:17,407 --> 01:01:19,580
Can you help her find a job?
731
01:01:20,410 --> 01:01:22,913
Who is she? Your girlfriend?
732
01:01:23,947 --> 01:01:26,689
No, she isn't. Oh, never mind.
733
01:01:59,449 --> 01:02:00,449
Hi, Maki.
734
01:02:02,619 --> 01:02:05,156
Are you alone? Where's
Inoue and the others?
735
01:02:06,089 --> 01:02:09,229
At Misuzu Street.
I can manage alone, here.
736
01:02:10,327 --> 01:02:13,206
Hiroshi came by
today with a lady.
737
01:02:14,164 --> 01:02:15,541
He was with a lady?
738
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:18,309
She was very pretty.
739
01:02:19,303 --> 01:02:20,976
What is he doing?
740
01:02:21,671 --> 01:02:23,514
I'd better go to Tokyo
and check on him.
741
01:02:25,141 --> 01:02:26,141
I'll do that.
742
01:02:27,244 --> 01:02:28,985
Thanks. I'll be working
on the other side.
743
01:02:29,713 --> 01:02:30,713
Yes.
744
01:02:40,757 --> 01:02:41,827
Go away.
745
01:02:42,526 --> 01:02:43,698
Show us the nude.
746
01:02:44,394 --> 01:02:46,772
If anything, we'd rather
see you nude.
747
01:02:48,064 --> 01:02:49,372
Please show it to us quickly.
748
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,142
Get lost!
749
01:02:53,570 --> 01:02:54,570
How scary!
750
01:02:54,704 --> 01:02:55,704
Let's go.
751
01:02:57,173 --> 01:02:58,345
This isn't a peep show.
752
01:03:00,310 --> 01:03:01,380
You startled me.
753
01:03:02,679 --> 01:03:04,716
For you to shout like that...
You must be tired.
754
01:03:05,749 --> 01:03:07,387
Of course, I'm tired.
755
01:03:08,151 --> 01:03:09,151
Then go home.
756
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,120
Mr. Sakata.
757
01:03:11,988 --> 01:03:15,094
How long do you plan
to continue this?
758
01:03:16,793 --> 01:03:18,397
I'm doing it to earn a living.
759
01:03:19,129 --> 01:03:22,906
But you shouldn't
sacrifice yourself for it.
760
01:03:23,833 --> 01:03:25,835
You should cherish
yourself more.
761
01:03:27,604 --> 01:03:29,515
I agree, but...
762
01:03:30,407 --> 01:03:31,784
I think you're hungry.
763
01:03:33,276 --> 01:03:34,653
Yes, I'm hungry.
764
01:03:35,378 --> 01:03:36,721
Aren't you hungry, too?
765
01:03:38,315 --> 01:03:40,124
Then go to dinner with me!
766
01:03:41,584 --> 01:03:43,222
Well... Where...
767
01:03:45,588 --> 01:03:49,229
Sorry. I have to meet
my sister-in-law tonight.
768
01:03:52,228 --> 01:03:53,229
I knew it.
769
01:03:56,433 --> 01:03:57,707
She's pretty, isn't she?
770
01:03:58,902 --> 01:04:00,438
Maki. Wait.
771
01:04:01,004 --> 01:04:03,109
Next time. For sure.
772
01:04:41,511 --> 01:04:44,048
"A Brief Message from the Heart".
773
01:05:12,876 --> 01:05:15,377
"Mom, are you happy with him?".
774
01:05:15,378 --> 01:05:17,517
"Dad said nothing and died quietly."
775
01:05:55,352 --> 01:05:56,387
How old are you?
776
01:05:57,187 --> 01:05:58,188
Twenty-one.
777
01:06:00,390 --> 01:06:01,926
Why aren't you going
back to Kyushu?
778
01:06:02,926 --> 01:06:04,269
Your parents must be worried.
779
01:06:06,362 --> 01:06:08,603
My dad died a while back.
780
01:06:10,333 --> 01:06:12,506
My mom remarried.
781
01:06:14,671 --> 01:06:18,949
I couldn't get along with my
new father and his children.
782
01:06:20,744 --> 01:06:22,087
So I have no home to return to.
783
01:06:25,081 --> 01:06:28,119
So your mom remarried...
784
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:31,924
What are you good at?
785
01:06:33,256 --> 01:06:35,167
Nothing.
786
01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:39,972
There must be
something. Think hard.
787
01:06:40,930 --> 01:06:42,102
There's nothing.
788
01:06:44,067 --> 01:06:48,106
In high school, I entered
a swimming competition.
789
01:06:49,939 --> 01:06:53,250
Mom, can you hire her
as a bar hostess then?
790
01:06:54,444 --> 01:06:57,823
Hiroshi, don't get the wrong idea.
791
01:06:59,449 --> 01:07:02,521
That's no way to get
a job for someone.
792
01:07:04,254 --> 01:07:07,792
Take it more seriously, Yumiko.
793
01:07:09,225 --> 01:07:10,225
Yes.
794
01:07:11,828 --> 01:07:14,741
So you're good in sports.
795
01:07:21,671 --> 01:07:22,671
Do your best.
796
01:07:23,173 --> 01:07:24,173
Yeah.
797
01:07:24,808 --> 01:07:25,808
I'm only swimming.
798
01:07:36,019 --> 01:07:37,498
She has a nice form.
799
01:07:38,154 --> 01:07:41,033
She can learn about the job today
and meet the boss tomorrow.
800
01:07:41,557 --> 01:07:42,557
Please do that.
801
01:07:46,129 --> 01:07:47,233
Mom, thanks.
802
01:07:47,897 --> 01:07:48,898
It's nothing.
803
01:07:50,467 --> 01:07:54,210
I actually want to do
more for you.
804
01:07:54,904 --> 01:07:55,904
It's OK.
805
01:07:56,506 --> 01:07:57,780
My car is over there.
806
01:08:01,511 --> 01:08:03,047
I'm free today.
807
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,823
Can I see your apartment?
808
01:08:06,483 --> 01:08:07,484
What? Now?
809
01:08:08,051 --> 01:08:09,052
Yes.
810
01:08:09,719 --> 01:08:10,919
No, Mom.
811
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,127
You have to tell me in advance.
812
01:08:13,890 --> 01:08:14,890
I'm going.
813
01:08:27,570 --> 01:08:28,571
I guess I have no choice.
814
01:08:30,740 --> 01:08:32,913
Here's my key. I'm in
Room #3 on the second floor.
815
01:08:33,543 --> 01:08:35,383
I'll go park my car,
so wait for me in my room.
816
01:09:57,293 --> 01:09:58,363
Who are you?
817
01:10:01,297 --> 01:10:02,833
You are...
818
01:10:04,534 --> 01:10:05,877
Maki.
819
01:10:10,807 --> 01:10:12,150
You're Maki.
820
01:10:14,043 --> 01:10:15,249
Show me your face.
821
01:10:19,015 --> 01:10:20,858
I knew I'd see you someday.
822
01:10:21,517 --> 01:10:23,519
But I wasn't expecting
to see you now...
823
01:10:25,688 --> 01:10:27,998
How many years has it been?
824
01:10:30,393 --> 01:10:33,272
Eighteen years.
825
01:10:35,398 --> 01:10:38,470
You've grown into a fine adult.
826
01:10:40,303 --> 01:10:41,839
You look pretty.
827
01:10:45,942 --> 01:10:46,942
Where's Hiroshi?
828
01:10:48,978 --> 01:10:50,389
Why are you here?
829
01:10:53,016 --> 01:10:54,552
He'll be here shortly.
830
01:10:57,854 --> 01:10:58,854
I'm...
831
01:10:59,155 --> 01:11:00,715
Since when have you
been seeing Hiroshi?
832
01:11:02,459 --> 01:11:04,234
How did it tum to this?
833
01:11:06,696 --> 01:11:08,141
We met only recently.
834
01:11:09,499 --> 01:11:11,274
He came to see me.
835
01:11:13,836 --> 01:11:15,247
He gave me a ride.
836
01:11:17,574 --> 01:11:20,384
We visited your dad's grave.
837
01:11:23,346 --> 01:11:24,518
You did?
838
01:11:27,784 --> 01:11:29,058
You went to Dad's grave?
839
01:11:29,986 --> 01:11:31,090
That isn't all.
840
01:11:33,056 --> 01:11:34,933
We went to the house.
841
01:11:36,192 --> 01:11:38,035
We looked for you.
842
01:11:39,395 --> 01:11:40,965
And we went to your workplace.
843
01:11:43,433 --> 01:11:44,605
What are you trying to do?
844
01:11:47,203 --> 01:11:49,774
You're the one who left us.
845
01:11:55,678 --> 01:12:03,529
You forgot about us
for the past 18 years.
846
01:12:05,822 --> 01:12:09,793
Yes, I had forgotten about you.
847
01:12:12,929 --> 01:12:15,910
That's only because
that was easier.
848
01:12:17,667 --> 01:12:19,442
Rather than suffer.
849
01:12:22,138 --> 01:12:25,381
That's just an excuse.
850
01:12:28,678 --> 01:12:31,921
Now that you've met Hiroshi...
851
01:12:33,383 --> 01:12:35,192
You want to live with us.
852
01:12:36,586 --> 01:12:37,929
That's just too selfish of you.
853
01:12:38,321 --> 01:12:39,698
No.
854
01:12:40,757 --> 01:12:43,931
I wasn't thinking that.
855
01:12:47,497 --> 01:12:48,497
Mom...
856
01:12:49,165 --> 01:12:50,165
You're here, too.
857
01:12:52,301 --> 01:12:53,405
What was that for?
858
01:12:54,103 --> 01:12:55,241
Hiroshi!
859
01:12:56,039 --> 01:12:57,780
How could you!
860
01:12:58,674 --> 01:13:02,486
Don't you feel badly
towards Dad?
861
01:13:04,848 --> 01:13:07,351
Who do you think raised us?
862
01:13:10,053 --> 01:13:11,532
It was Dad!
863
01:13:13,356 --> 01:13:17,926
When we were in grade
school and junior high school...
864
01:13:17,927 --> 01:13:21,029
No matter how busy he was...
865
01:13:21,030 --> 01:13:23,874
He'd cook for us everyday
and do our laundry.
866
01:13:25,335 --> 01:13:28,407
That is why we are here today.
867
01:13:30,206 --> 01:13:37,749
Only Dad, you, and I
shared a life together.
868
01:13:42,352 --> 01:13:45,196
This person wasn't
part of our family.
869
01:13:46,989 --> 01:13:49,697
This person? She's our mom.
870
01:13:52,061 --> 01:13:53,165
Maki, what's the matter?
871
01:13:53,529 --> 01:13:54,564
Stop it, Hiroshi.
872
01:13:57,133 --> 01:13:58,339
Maki's right.
873
01:14:01,638 --> 01:14:03,117
She's right.
874
01:14:05,107 --> 01:14:08,213
I was so excited to see you.
875
01:14:10,113 --> 01:14:12,093
When I had no right to be.
876
01:14:13,750 --> 01:14:15,457
I got carried away.
877
01:14:21,457 --> 01:14:22,595
Maki.
878
01:14:25,061 --> 01:14:26,438
Hiroshi.
879
01:14:27,730 --> 01:14:29,073
Forgive me.
880
01:14:34,103 --> 01:14:35,103
Mom.
881
01:14:35,705 --> 01:14:36,706
Don't come after me.
882
01:15:01,964 --> 01:15:02,964
Maki.
883
01:15:03,399 --> 01:15:04,399
Where are you?
884
01:15:05,134 --> 01:15:06,134
Tokyo?
885
01:15:08,271 --> 01:15:09,271
Hello?
886
01:15:11,307 --> 01:15:12,308
What's wrong?
887
01:15:16,179 --> 01:15:17,180
Hello?
888
01:15:18,781 --> 01:15:21,022
What happened?
889
01:15:25,288 --> 01:15:26,392
Mr. Sakata...
890
01:15:28,257 --> 01:15:32,171
Am I a headstrong
and disagreeable woman?
891
01:15:34,664 --> 01:15:38,168
You must dislike me.
892
01:16:01,157 --> 01:16:02,261
Tae.
893
01:16:03,159 --> 01:16:04,866
I heard you were looking
for me. What's up?
894
01:16:06,162 --> 01:16:08,733
About that Singapore
offer that I turned down...
895
01:16:09,332 --> 01:16:10,970
Did you find someone
else for it already?
896
01:16:11,367 --> 01:16:12,367
Yes.
897
01:16:13,970 --> 01:16:18,039
As for Daphne and
the Akasaka bars...
898
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:21,988
I'm going to have someone
young be in charge.
899
01:16:26,515 --> 01:16:28,791
What's the matter? Did you
have something to tell me?
900
01:16:31,854 --> 01:16:34,494
Will you offer it to me again?
901
01:16:37,126 --> 01:16:40,471
Really?
902
01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:42,897
The last time...
903
01:16:42,898 --> 01:16:44,571
you said you had it
with the bar business.
904
01:16:46,002 --> 01:16:47,845
What happened?
905
01:16:50,006 --> 01:16:53,886
We're more than acquaintances.
906
01:16:55,611 --> 01:16:56,851
I'll think about it.
907
01:16:57,446 --> 01:16:58,446
Have some.
908
01:16:59,782 --> 01:17:00,783
Thanks.
909
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:06,365
You seem to be in a foul mood.
910
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,749
It's not good for you
to drink so recklessly.
911
01:17:09,258 --> 01:17:10,259
Leave me alone.
912
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:12,964
I don't want to live long.
913
01:17:15,331 --> 01:17:17,637
Those are the very
ones who live long...
914
01:17:17,638 --> 01:17:20,204
and complain that the kids
don't care about them.
915
01:17:21,771 --> 01:17:22,772
Not me.
916
01:17:26,876 --> 01:17:28,787
I won't ask my kids
for anything.
917
01:17:30,780 --> 01:17:31,780
Good.
918
01:17:34,583 --> 01:17:36,119
I mean it.
919
01:17:41,924 --> 01:17:43,062
Sensei...
920
01:17:44,193 --> 01:17:48,763
What happened to the
woman who can't get married...
921
01:17:48,764 --> 01:17:50,209
nor live by herself?
922
01:17:52,168 --> 01:17:53,374
I don't know.
923
01:17:54,604 --> 01:17:57,414
I haven't decided yet.
924
01:17:59,141 --> 01:18:02,748
What will happen
to her in the end?
925
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:05,954
Will she die?
926
01:18:07,984 --> 01:18:09,327
I don't know.
927
01:18:10,753 --> 01:18:12,755
I want to know.
928
01:18:17,860 --> 01:18:22,934
Then let her die.
929
01:18:35,578 --> 01:18:37,080
Is my mom out?
930
01:18:37,547 --> 01:18:38,547
It's terrible.
931
01:18:39,115 --> 01:18:41,356
She's been experiencing
great pain since morning.
932
01:18:41,784 --> 01:18:42,784
What?
933
01:18:46,489 --> 01:18:47,490
Mom. What's wrong?
934
01:18:51,927 --> 01:18:53,099
Where's the pain?
935
01:18:53,896 --> 01:18:56,137
I bought you medicine.
I'll get you some water now.
936
01:18:58,134 --> 01:18:59,272
Let's go to the hospital.
937
01:19:02,538 --> 01:19:06,987
It's OK, Hiroshi.
938
01:19:09,145 --> 01:19:10,283
Go home.
939
01:19:11,914 --> 01:19:13,222
No, let's go.
940
01:19:16,819 --> 01:19:20,096
Wait, Hiroshi. I have to change.
941
01:19:26,829 --> 01:19:27,933
Are you OK?
942
01:19:30,199 --> 01:19:31,303
Lean on me.
943
01:19:43,579 --> 01:19:45,684
You've been pushing
yourself too hard.
944
01:19:46,315 --> 01:19:47,726
It's more than gastritis.
945
01:19:48,818 --> 01:19:49,888
You can sit up now.
946
01:19:52,488 --> 01:19:54,661
Is the painkiller working?
947
01:19:56,325 --> 01:19:58,532
Yes... thank you.
948
01:19:59,995 --> 01:20:01,997
You need to get a complete exam.
949
01:20:02,698 --> 01:20:05,144
It could be ulcers.
Your liver is swollen.
950
01:20:06,435 --> 01:20:08,813
You shouldn't have
waited this long.
951
01:20:28,758 --> 01:20:29,862
A complete exam?
952
01:20:30,693 --> 01:20:32,798
That's what the doctor said.
953
01:20:33,662 --> 01:20:36,268
Please fill this out.
954
01:20:38,033 --> 01:20:39,410
Mom. How do you feel?
955
01:20:40,035 --> 01:20:42,015
Thanks. I feel better.
956
01:20:42,705 --> 01:20:44,207
You need a complete exam.
957
01:20:44,707 --> 01:20:45,811
You have to fill this out.
958
01:20:47,042 --> 01:20:48,682
Wait. What are you
going to do about this?
959
01:20:49,111 --> 01:20:50,181
I don't need it.
960
01:20:50,913 --> 01:20:52,688
I'm going home.
961
01:21:02,057 --> 01:21:03,057
Mom.
962
01:21:09,265 --> 01:21:10,598
Did you get the job?
963
01:21:10,599 --> 01:21:11,600
Yes. Thanks.
964
01:21:13,569 --> 01:21:14,877
Do you want something to drink?
965
01:21:15,571 --> 01:21:16,571
Well let's see.
966
01:21:16,939 --> 01:21:18,919
Please have something hot.
967
01:21:19,842 --> 01:21:20,912
I'll have tea, then.
968
01:21:21,344 --> 01:21:22,344
I'll get it for you.
969
01:21:22,411 --> 01:21:23,515
Let me...
970
01:21:24,013 --> 01:21:26,289
That's the least I can do.
971
01:21:35,758 --> 01:21:36,930
We found you.
972
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,070
You sure gave us a lot
of trouble! Pay up!
973
01:21:40,930 --> 01:21:41,930
Leave her alone.
974
01:21:42,231 --> 01:21:43,539
Who are you? A pimp?
975
01:21:48,604 --> 01:21:49,605
Stop it!
976
01:21:53,042 --> 01:21:54,042
What are you doing?
977
01:21:55,544 --> 01:21:56,818
Take your hands off!
978
01:21:57,913 --> 01:21:59,449
Who are you? Get lost!
979
01:21:59,915 --> 01:22:02,156
I'm her guardian.
Leave her alone.
980
01:22:03,152 --> 01:22:04,152
Guardian?
981
01:22:04,987 --> 01:22:05,987
That works out for us.
982
01:22:06,488 --> 01:22:08,195
She owes two million yen.
983
01:22:09,125 --> 01:22:10,160
Pay up.
984
01:22:10,559 --> 01:22:11,559
That's not true.
985
01:22:12,194 --> 01:22:13,194
What?
986
01:22:13,829 --> 01:22:15,399
Who should I pay?
987
01:22:16,465 --> 01:22:17,465
Your boss?
988
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,638
If what you say is true,
I'll meet him and pay him back.
989
01:22:22,204 --> 01:22:23,204
He's busy.
990
01:22:24,273 --> 01:22:26,617
Besides, who would trust you?
991
01:22:27,609 --> 01:22:28,609
Oh, really?
992
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:32,988
I operate a bar in Ginza.
993
01:22:34,784 --> 01:22:36,092
This is my business card.
994
01:22:36,785 --> 01:22:37,957
I won't run or hide.
995
01:22:38,821 --> 01:22:40,630
If that's not enough,
we can go to the police.
996
01:22:41,490 --> 01:22:43,197
There's a police station nearby.
997
01:22:43,859 --> 01:22:44,859
All right.
998
01:22:45,661 --> 01:22:47,698
We'll contact you here.
999
01:22:48,964 --> 01:22:52,138
Fine. We'll save
your face today.
1000
01:23:03,145 --> 01:23:05,250
Are you all right?
1001
01:23:06,281 --> 01:23:07,281
Thanks, Mom.
1002
01:23:09,051 --> 01:23:10,223
You're tough.
1003
01:23:13,422 --> 01:23:15,561
It's time for you to go to work.
1004
01:23:16,258 --> 01:23:17,328
Cheer up.
1005
01:23:18,694 --> 01:23:19,694
Do your best.
1006
01:23:28,170 --> 01:23:29,672
Will you move aside?
1007
01:23:30,339 --> 01:23:31,819
We want to give this
kitty some water.
1008
01:23:33,442 --> 01:23:34,442
It's cute.
1009
01:23:44,854 --> 01:23:47,926
Mom, I've been thinking.
1010
01:23:49,825 --> 01:23:53,068
Let's live together.
1011
01:23:55,531 --> 01:23:57,340
You can keep working.
1012
01:23:58,867 --> 01:24:00,778
Let's live together.
1013
01:24:02,738 --> 01:24:03,773
I can't do that.
1014
01:24:04,507 --> 01:24:05,611
Why not?
1015
01:24:06,909 --> 01:24:08,911
Because of Maki?
1016
01:24:11,447 --> 01:24:12,755
It's not that.
1017
01:24:17,086 --> 01:24:24,231
Kids need their mothers
most when they are small.
1018
01:24:25,794 --> 01:24:28,638
And to be there for them,
is the mother's role.
1019
01:24:29,665 --> 01:24:33,807
What can a mother do,
after they grow up into adults?
1020
01:24:38,273 --> 01:24:43,154
I didn't do anything for you
two when you needed me.
1021
01:24:44,012 --> 01:24:48,188
So I can't live with you now
to lead an easier life.
1022
01:24:49,218 --> 01:24:50,925
That's being too selfish.
1023
01:24:52,554 --> 01:24:54,431
No one will think that
you are selfish.
1024
01:24:55,591 --> 01:24:57,400
You're my mom.
1025
01:24:58,093 --> 01:24:59,470
Who cares.
1026
01:25:03,232 --> 01:25:06,179
Why are you and Maki
so stubborn?
1027
01:25:09,505 --> 01:25:13,282
That's all I can do now.
1028
01:25:14,443 --> 01:25:19,188
Otherwise, I'd be miserable.
1029
01:25:21,483 --> 01:25:22,689
Don't say anymore.
1030
01:25:24,219 --> 01:25:26,187
When I'm with you...
1031
01:25:26,188 --> 01:25:28,790
I forget reality.
1032
01:25:28,791 --> 01:25:30,828
Because you're so gentle.
1033
01:25:38,634 --> 01:25:41,137
Hiroshi, thank you
for everything.
1034
01:25:43,772 --> 01:25:45,308
Be kind to Maki.
1035
01:25:59,822 --> 01:26:00,994
Mom, wait.
1036
01:26:02,758 --> 01:26:03,758
Wait.
1037
01:26:04,259 --> 01:26:05,339
Don't go out on the street.
1038
01:26:06,528 --> 01:26:08,769
My kitty... is over there.
1039
01:26:11,033 --> 01:26:12,376
It's going to get run over.
1040
01:26:12,734 --> 01:26:13,734
Wait here.
1041
01:26:22,678 --> 01:26:23,713
Hiroshi!
1042
01:26:25,547 --> 01:26:26,685
Hiroshi!
1043
01:26:29,318 --> 01:26:31,025
Get an ambulance!
1044
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:33,922
Ambulance!
1045
01:26:35,791 --> 01:26:36,791
Hiroshi.
1046
01:26:38,727 --> 01:26:39,899
Hiroshi.
1047
01:26:41,496 --> 01:26:42,600
Hiroshi.
1048
01:26:44,066 --> 01:26:45,204
The kitty...
1049
01:26:45,901 --> 01:26:48,313
How's the kitty?
1050
01:27:06,021 --> 01:27:07,022
Doctor.
1051
01:27:07,689 --> 01:27:08,689
Will he be OK?
1052
01:27:09,324 --> 01:27:10,764
He needs a blood transfusion.
1053
01:27:10,765 --> 01:27:11,792
We'll operate after that.
1054
01:27:11,793 --> 01:27:12,793
Use my blood.
1055
01:27:13,362 --> 01:27:14,500
I'm his mother.
1056
01:27:15,664 --> 01:27:17,041
Calm down.
1057
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:19,772
We'll do our best.
1058
01:27:47,396 --> 01:27:48,396
Maki...
1059
01:27:55,570 --> 01:27:56,570
Hiroshi!
1060
01:27:57,739 --> 01:27:58,911
How did this happen?
1061
01:27:59,308 --> 01:28:00,378
He needs rest.
1062
01:28:00,976 --> 01:28:01,977
Please wait outside.
1063
01:28:18,493 --> 01:28:19,563
Maki...
1064
01:28:24,066 --> 01:28:25,340
What happened?
1065
01:28:27,235 --> 01:28:28,543
Why did this happen?
1066
01:28:29,137 --> 01:28:30,377
It's my fault.
1067
01:28:31,540 --> 01:28:33,520
I couldn't help him...
1068
01:28:36,445 --> 01:28:38,550
He was with you again.
1069
01:28:41,216 --> 01:28:42,388
Will he be OK?
1070
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,258
What am I going to do
if he dies?
1071
01:28:53,429 --> 01:28:57,536
We only have each other.
1072
01:29:44,579 --> 01:29:45,579
Please.
1073
01:29:52,588 --> 01:29:53,999
Please rest there.
1074
01:29:54,856 --> 01:29:56,233
We'll be here.
1075
01:29:58,026 --> 01:29:59,300
How kind of you.
1076
01:30:01,763 --> 01:30:03,504
I'll get you a blanket.
1077
01:30:03,932 --> 01:30:04,932
It's OK.
1078
01:30:05,433 --> 01:30:06,878
I'm all right.
1079
01:30:08,136 --> 01:30:09,410
Thank you so much.
1080
01:30:42,204 --> 01:30:44,377
Mr. Maehara.
1081
01:30:48,243 --> 01:30:49,449
Can you hear me?
1082
01:30:56,218 --> 01:30:57,424
You've come to.
1083
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:59,058
You've made it through.
1084
01:31:06,895 --> 01:31:09,466
He's awake. You can
talk to him briefly.
1085
01:31:16,705 --> 01:31:17,809
Hiroshi.
1086
01:31:20,041 --> 01:31:21,111
Hiroshi.
1087
01:31:25,480 --> 01:31:26,891
Maki...
1088
01:31:28,884 --> 01:31:30,886
You had me worried.
1089
01:31:32,153 --> 01:31:33,564
What happened?
1090
01:31:34,356 --> 01:31:36,302
The kitty...
1091
01:31:36,892 --> 01:31:37,893
Maki.
1092
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:42,706
It was a kitty.
1093
01:31:48,637 --> 01:31:49,945
Mom.
1094
01:31:56,478 --> 01:31:57,821
Mom.
1095
01:32:04,252 --> 01:32:05,595
I'm glad.
1096
01:32:07,355 --> 01:32:08,925
I'm really glad.
1097
01:32:13,595 --> 01:32:16,371
Mom... It's ironic, isn't it?
1098
01:32:18,867 --> 01:32:23,782
I'm in the hospital now,
instead of you.
1099
01:32:25,707 --> 01:32:27,345
Hiroshi.
1100
01:32:48,363 --> 01:32:49,706
Maki, I'm sorry.
1101
01:32:51,633 --> 01:32:54,239
I won't bother you
again, don't worry.
1102
01:33:00,475 --> 01:33:03,922
Mr. Sakata, please
look after her.
1103
01:33:07,582 --> 01:33:09,493
Yes, of course.
1104
01:33:17,225 --> 01:33:19,637
Maki, goodbye.
1105
01:33:28,003 --> 01:33:29,914
Maki, what's the matter?
1106
01:33:30,872 --> 01:33:32,818
Are you going to let
it go at that?
1107
01:33:34,843 --> 01:33:36,789
You must go after her.
1108
01:33:38,113 --> 01:33:39,649
Or you'll regret it.
1109
01:34:29,297 --> 01:34:30,742
Mom, wait.
1110
01:34:37,873 --> 01:34:38,873
Maki...
1111
01:34:41,042 --> 01:34:42,453
Mom!
1112
01:34:44,979 --> 01:34:45,979
Maki.
1113
01:34:47,549 --> 01:34:49,324
Mom, I'm sorry.
1114
01:34:50,485 --> 01:34:52,465
I couldn't open up to you.
1115
01:34:53,388 --> 01:34:56,232
I blamed you.
1116
01:34:58,727 --> 01:35:00,138
Forgive me.
1117
01:35:01,029 --> 01:35:02,531
What is there to forgive?
1118
01:35:04,199 --> 01:35:07,146
I'm the one that
needs to be forgiven.
1119
01:35:09,938 --> 01:35:13,943
I abandoned you and
didn't do anything for you.
1120
01:35:15,977 --> 01:35:20,926
I left you when you were
so small and innocent.
1121
01:35:21,883 --> 01:35:26,059
Never mind about that...
1122
01:35:34,796 --> 01:35:37,800
But Maki, please
believe this much...
1123
01:35:40,001 --> 01:35:43,710
I never forgot about you two.
1124
01:35:44,305 --> 01:35:47,309
There wasn't a day I didn't
think about you two.
1125
01:35:50,045 --> 01:35:52,946
I would keep track of your age...
1126
01:35:52,947 --> 01:35:55,983
What grade you were in school...
1127
01:35:55,984 --> 01:35:58,294
Your health...
1128
01:36:02,224 --> 01:36:05,893
And each time...
1129
01:36:05,894 --> 01:36:09,637
I really wanted to come see you.
1130
01:36:10,832 --> 01:36:14,837
But when I thought of your
father's feelings... I couldn't..
1131
01:36:16,304 --> 01:36:17,510
Mom...
1132
01:36:20,775 --> 01:36:24,144
He single-handedly...
1133
01:36:24,145 --> 01:36:32,145
raised the two of you
into fine adults.
1134
01:36:35,356 --> 01:36:38,803
I can't thank him enough for it.
1135
01:36:40,462 --> 01:36:42,703
I owe him an apology...
1136
01:36:45,967 --> 01:36:48,447
I...
1137
01:36:49,204 --> 01:36:52,617
I had no idea how you felt.
1138
01:36:54,976 --> 01:36:59,288
I resented you all these years.
1139
01:37:03,618 --> 01:37:06,098
You have every right
to resent me...
1140
01:37:09,290 --> 01:37:15,138
You should direct your
18 years of anger at me.
1141
01:37:19,100 --> 01:37:22,877
Let it all out.
1142
01:37:23,671 --> 01:37:28,177
And tell me about all your
sadness and loneliness.
1143
01:37:29,778 --> 01:37:33,726
I waited so long for
this moment.
1144
01:37:34,683 --> 01:37:36,594
Me, too.
1145
01:37:38,753 --> 01:37:41,655
I...
1146
01:37:41,656 --> 01:37:45,695
I really missed you.
1147
01:37:47,095 --> 01:37:48,095
Maki!
1148
01:37:50,265 --> 01:37:52,677
Mom!
1149
01:38:03,611 --> 01:38:08,185
So there's no postcard
from Norio today.
1150
01:38:09,684 --> 01:38:10,684
Not today.
1151
01:38:16,758 --> 01:38:18,465
Are you going away?
1152
01:38:20,995 --> 01:38:22,633
Somewhere far away?
1153
01:38:24,032 --> 01:38:26,740
You don't have to tell me.
1154
01:38:29,571 --> 01:38:30,709
Tae.
1155
01:38:32,774 --> 01:38:36,916
Didn't you write all these
postcards from Norio?
1156
01:38:40,215 --> 01:38:41,660
I knew about it.
1157
01:38:43,651 --> 01:38:46,393
He died three years ago.
1158
01:38:47,856 --> 01:38:50,462
But you didn't tell me.
1159
01:38:52,961 --> 01:38:54,804
Why did you hide it?
1160
01:38:55,763 --> 01:38:58,642
I couldn't even give him
a burial as his mother.
1161
01:38:59,534 --> 01:39:03,539
There was a time I held
a grudge against you.
1162
01:39:04,072 --> 01:39:05,176
Mother...
1163
01:39:06,908 --> 01:39:13,981
But you were just trying
to be considerate...
1164
01:39:13,982 --> 01:39:17,395
since I'm old and blind.
1165
01:39:20,188 --> 01:39:21,861
Thank you very much.
1166
01:39:24,659 --> 01:39:28,630
I'm sorry for lying to you.
1167
01:39:31,933 --> 01:39:34,470
I guess this will be farewell.
1168
01:39:36,704 --> 01:39:41,585
Life is full of farewells.
1169
01:39:42,677 --> 01:39:48,525
The older you get, the
better you are at handling it.
1170
01:39:53,588 --> 01:39:55,829
That's true.
1171
01:40:00,161 --> 01:40:06,009
Wherever you go,
please write to me.
1172
01:40:06,801 --> 01:40:09,475
Yes, I will. I promise.
1173
01:40:22,417 --> 01:40:24,693
You're not kicking
your legs right.
1174
01:40:25,253 --> 01:40:26,357
It's OK.
1175
01:40:27,488 --> 01:40:29,263
I was never good at
swimming, anyway.
1176
01:40:31,726 --> 01:40:35,095
I talked to my mom
on the phone...
1177
01:40:35,096 --> 01:40:37,872
and she said she'll come
to Matsumoto next week.
1178
01:40:38,833 --> 01:40:40,813
They're going to throw
a get-well party for me.
1179
01:40:42,036 --> 01:40:43,276
Can you come?
1180
01:40:43,738 --> 01:40:44,876
Is it OK for me to go?
1181
01:40:45,806 --> 01:40:48,480
Don't you want to monopolize
your pretty and nice mother?
1182
01:40:49,110 --> 01:40:50,110
Yes, I do.
1183
01:40:55,083 --> 01:40:56,083
Hey!
1184
01:41:03,357 --> 01:41:04,357
Maki.
1185
01:41:05,159 --> 01:41:06,229
Did you eat lunch?
1186
01:41:06,661 --> 01:41:07,661
Yes.
1187
01:41:08,129 --> 01:41:10,939
Good. You're grouchy
when you're hungry.
1188
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:13,000
What is it?
1189
01:41:14,535 --> 01:41:16,572
My mom is coming
to our house next week.
1190
01:41:17,305 --> 01:41:18,807
Can you come, too?
1191
01:41:20,441 --> 01:41:21,852
Your mom?
1192
01:41:22,744 --> 01:41:24,724
Of course, I'll come.
1193
01:41:27,382 --> 01:41:28,382
I'll go with you.
1194
01:41:28,716 --> 01:41:29,956
You don't have to come.
1195
01:41:30,451 --> 01:41:32,294
I want to help you.
1196
01:41:34,055 --> 01:41:35,659
Uncle!
1197
01:41:36,424 --> 01:41:38,267
Em I, stop. Don't bother them.
1198
01:41:39,260 --> 01:41:40,260
Why?
1199
01:41:43,831 --> 01:41:48,610
Not that I'm trying
to change your mind, but...
1200
01:41:49,570 --> 01:41:50,810
How's your health?
1201
01:41:51,939 --> 01:41:53,043
I'm OK.
1202
01:41:54,876 --> 01:41:58,449
I don't think Singapore
is for the desperate.
1203
01:42:00,415 --> 01:42:03,021
My mind is clear
and I feel better.
1204
01:42:04,819 --> 01:42:08,028
Call me over,
after you settle down.
1205
01:42:09,324 --> 01:42:10,324
Please.
1206
01:42:11,126 --> 01:42:12,537
What are you saying?
1207
01:42:13,494 --> 01:42:17,135
You can make it in Tokyo.
1208
01:42:20,835 --> 01:42:23,008
Thanks for the thought.
1209
01:42:31,045 --> 01:42:34,049
Hiroshi, I'm downstairs.
1210
01:42:36,184 --> 01:42:37,458
I'll be waiting.
1211
01:42:46,461 --> 01:42:47,633
Mom, you're early.
1212
01:42:48,196 --> 01:42:49,197
Listen.
1213
01:42:49,964 --> 01:42:52,240
I have to take care
of some urgent business.
1214
01:42:52,241 --> 01:42:54,839
I don't have time.
I must leave now.
1215
01:42:55,970 --> 01:42:57,176
That's too bad.
1216
01:42:57,805 --> 01:42:59,614
Maki was looking
forward to seeing you.
1217
01:43:00,741 --> 01:43:02,618
I'll call her to apologize.
1218
01:43:03,878 --> 01:43:05,448
When can I see you next?
1219
01:43:06,447 --> 01:43:09,121
I can't make any promises now.
1220
01:43:12,353 --> 01:43:13,525
Sorry, Hiroshi.
1221
01:43:14,956 --> 01:43:16,299
To Yumiko, too.
1222
01:43:16,957 --> 01:43:21,804
It's OK. Will you
promise to see me again?
1223
01:43:23,364 --> 01:43:26,345
Yes. I'll see you again.
1224
01:43:34,141 --> 01:43:36,280
You've fully recovered.
1225
01:43:52,126 --> 01:43:53,867
What's all that about?
1226
01:43:55,963 --> 01:43:57,636
Don't be bashful.
1227
01:44:01,536 --> 01:44:04,847
Maehara Hiroshi, 22 years old.
1228
01:44:06,841 --> 01:44:08,286
My son.
1229
01:44:14,015 --> 01:44:18,657
You've been so kind to me,
so it's my way of thanking you.
1230
01:44:22,456 --> 01:44:23,662
Drive off.
1231
01:45:14,776 --> 01:45:15,776
Hello?
1232
01:45:17,345 --> 01:45:18,483
Mom?
1233
01:45:22,516 --> 01:45:24,518
You can't make it?
1234
01:45:26,587 --> 01:45:28,225
I'm really sorry.
1235
01:45:30,391 --> 01:45:31,893
I've already told Hiroshi.
1236
01:45:33,361 --> 01:45:35,307
I'm sorry I have no
time to see you.
1237
01:45:36,497 --> 01:45:37,669
That is why I called.
1238
01:45:38,732 --> 01:45:40,143
Where are you calling from?
1239
01:45:41,202 --> 01:45:42,875
When can I see you again?
1240
01:45:43,837 --> 01:45:46,579
Is that business
going to take long?
1241
01:45:47,642 --> 01:45:50,350
I'm afraid so.
1242
01:45:53,548 --> 01:45:54,788
Mom...
1243
01:45:56,984 --> 01:45:58,657
Where are you going?
1244
01:46:03,057 --> 01:46:04,468
Mom.
1245
01:46:07,828 --> 01:46:12,800
Are you leaving us
to go somewhere?
1246
01:46:14,969 --> 01:46:16,915
Maki, what's wrong?
1247
01:46:20,207 --> 01:46:23,188
You make it sound as if
we'll never meet again.
1248
01:46:24,245 --> 01:46:25,588
Let's stop crying.
1249
01:46:29,383 --> 01:46:32,296
I couldn't do anything
for you until now.
1250
01:46:33,587 --> 01:46:36,261
So I want to change things.
1251
01:46:36,991 --> 01:46:38,595
That is why I'm going.
1252
01:46:40,694 --> 01:46:44,130
Meeting you two recently...
1253
01:46:44,131 --> 01:46:47,203
has brought me
tears and smiles.
1254
01:46:48,069 --> 01:46:51,380
Those memories, alone,
will keep me going.
1255
01:46:56,811 --> 01:46:58,051
Mom...
1256
01:47:02,683 --> 01:47:05,459
I don't have much time left.
1257
01:47:06,554 --> 01:47:08,124
I must go.
1258
01:47:10,458 --> 01:47:12,768
Mr. Sakata is a nice man.
1259
01:47:13,661 --> 01:47:16,574
He was so kind to me
at the hospital.
1260
01:47:18,665 --> 01:47:21,535
When I asked him
to look after you,
1261
01:47:21,536 --> 01:47:23,880
he said, "Yes, of course."
1262
01:47:26,941 --> 01:47:28,386
He's a very nice person.
1263
01:47:30,044 --> 01:47:31,614
I feel relieved.
1264
01:47:38,286 --> 01:47:40,459
Goodbye, Maki.
1265
01:48:20,761 --> 01:48:22,263
Dad...
1266
01:48:23,330 --> 01:48:25,867
Mom said she can't make it.
1267
01:48:55,262 --> 01:48:58,731
"Mom, are you happy with him?"
1268
01:48:58,732 --> 01:49:01,042
"Dad said nothing and
died quietly."
1269
01:52:20,334 --> 01:52:24,612
The End
