Director: Hideo Oba

I, too, understand
how precious life is

for the first time in my life.
Thanks to you.

No, I'm alive
thanks to you.

I'll never forget this night.

Where do you live?

Yotsuya.

Then maybe that air raid
last night...

Yes...

Then you must hurry home.

Go. Quickly now.

- Thank you so much.
- Not at all.

Oh...

I don't know how long
this war will last,

but if we both survive
I'd like to see you again

to remember this feeling.

If in six months
we're still alive,

let's plan to meet here
on the night of November 24th.

Yes, lets...
If we're still alive.

On November 24th, then.
Eight o'clock at night.

Yes, I will definitely come.

Great.

Hey. Most importantly...
What is your name?

I'm...

Another air raid!

Go quickly now.

I'll be here, six months
from now.

Let's not tell each other
our names until then.

Good bye.

Six months later...

A year later...

Machiko did not come.

Then...

On November 24th
18 months later...

It was a foggy night.

You came.

It's been a long time...

So you were safe.

You, too.

I...

I waited for you
for a long time.

Now we've finally met.

I came last year,
and this May and waited.

I kept waiting for a girl
I only met for a single night

while running from
the air raid.

I may be stupid
but I kept waiting.

I staked my whole life
on that night's promise.

Haruki, I wanted
to see you, too.

And now I know that
you were waiting for me

feeling the same way.

Were you in Tokyo
all this time?

Tell me everything tonight.

Haruki,

I'm getting married
tomorrow.

I see.

You're getting married.

Haruki, I didn't
intend to see you again.

But before I got married,

I wanted to see this
bridge full of memories

one last time.

Thank you.
I'm glad you came.

I hope you'll be
very happy.

Haruki, perhaps
you're already married?

Goodbye, then.

Machiko got married.

But her marriage
was not a happy one.

Her husband Katsunori,

who was transferred to
Tokyo Headquarters,

met Haruki Atomiya
who worked there, too.

Katsunori was jealous.

Machiko was tormented by

her husband's jealousy
and mother-in-law's hatred.

On a rainy night,

Machiko left Katsunori
and returned to Sado.

Fate reunited them
on the cliffs above the sea.

Haruki.
What am I to do?

Machiko.

You...

Perhaps you should
go back...

to Hamaguchi.

For the sake of
the baby.

We have to forget
each other.

Haruki.

Machiko.

You have to go home.
Alright?

Oblivion is to forget completely.

The heartache
of promising oblivion

when one cannot forget.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You bought
a lot of things.

It's Uncle Kaseda's
celebration.

I'm so glad they
released him early.

Is it true
you're going to Hokkaido?

Yes, my friend
invited me.

- Why?
- You know why.

He's lonely.
Isn't that right?

I met you on this bridge

and many things happened
since then.

So take a good look.

There's no Sukiya Bridge
in Hokkaido.

Hi, kid.
Is Uncle back?

Mr. Nishina.

Sorry I'm late.

We were waiting for you.

This way.

Good boy.

Uncle, Mr. Nishina is here.

Great.

Please come in.

I just got home.

Everyone's celebrating
my return.

I see.

Congratulations.

Welcome.

I should have gone
to greet you

but I had urgent business.

Please.

Mr. Nishina, this is
Haruki Atomiya.

Hello, I've heard a lot
about you.

I'm Nishina.
Nice to meet you.

I'm Atomiya.
Same here.

He's my army buddy

and is now an executive
for a produce company.

He sent me things
in prison, too.

I see.
Thank you.

Not at all.

Please, Mr. Nishina.

Thank you.

Here's to your health.

Thank you.

I don't want to rush,

but it's about the fruits
store I mentioned before.

We found a suitable store.

It's in Ningyo-cho

and with a little fix-up,
it's ready to go.

I see. I appreciate that.

Mr. Nishina suggested

we run a fruits store
together.

Oh, is that so?

Since I work for a
produce company,

that's the only thing
I could come up with

And I think I can be
of some help.

It's too good an offer
for the likes of me.

But I'd like to give it a try.

What do you think, Kozue?

If you want to,
I'm all for it.

But we've had bad
experiences with kind men.

Don't say that.

Asa? Were you referring to me?

I know I haven't been able
to help you in any way.

Although I talk a lot,

I was too concerned
with myself.

I'm very sorry.

But better days are just
around the corner for you.

You'll do your best,
wont you?

Mr. Kaseda, I'm counting
on you, too.

I can go to Hokkaido now
with no worries.

Mr. Atomiya, remember
what we talked about?

About the good will
of people?

- Yes.
- You were right.

At one point I stopped
believing it.

And I stooped to smuggling.

But when I see you all,

I've a renewed trust
in people's virtue.

So please don't worry.
I'll do my best.

Yes, I will.

Oh, Atomiya.

Hi, Aya.

I'm glad I didn't miss you.

Why didn't you tell me
you were going?

I'm sorry. I wanted to
leave quietly.

I haven't begun to
thank you.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Machiko's leaving for
Sado tomorrow.

Do you want me to
give her a message?

Aya. We promised
we won't talk about her.

I guess so.

We're all going to be
in different places.

You take care of yourself

You, too.

I'm so sad...

Doesn't this look like
lovers parting?

Oh, this letter came to you
from Toba.

All right, then.

Good bye.

Take care.

I have to apologize to you
again about your sister.

Yukie left Wagu without
telling anyone.

Has she contacted you?

I'm worried but I'm in
the hospital right now

so there's nothing I can do.

I've made Yukie
unhappy again

because I'm weak.

I am also responsible
for Nami's death.

It happened several
days ago.

Nami, what are you
doing here?

Where were you?

Did you go to see Yukie again?

No, I was working late.

- Let's go home.
- Liar!

You've always regretted
marrying me.

Isn't that so?

You're always thinking
of how to get rid of me.

Nami...

It was wrong for us
from the start.

Let's go home.
We'll talk here.

Dear?

Nami!

Nami, don't do this.

Nami.

Nami...

Nami.

We were cursed.

She's been acting
strangely lately.

I suppose it was only
natural to come to this

since we married because
we had sex.

Kengo.
I'm responsible, too.

I kept saying
I couldn't forgive you,

but I wanted
to forgive you.

I made my unhappiness
too obvious.

I cast a dark shadow
on you and Nami.

I should have left
a long time ago.

I know how Nami
was suffering.

Kengo. I won't
see you again.

That's the least I can do
to atone to Nami.

And with that,
Yukie left Wagu.

Perhaps she's gone to Tokyo.

I pray that she is safe.

Hamaguchi

I'm afraid she's not here.

She left for Izu
yesterday with her husband

to visit a sick executive.

Oh, how nice for them.

They left an old woman
to mind the house.

Young people these days
are so inconsiderate.

But since Machiko
has finally come home...

It's not as though
I asked her to return.

She came back
on her own.

So...

I hadn't seen her for a while
since I saw her in Sado, so...

I see.
Thank you for coming.

You were there with a
Mr. Atomiya, I understand.

I see.

Could you give this
to Machiko?

It's a good luck charm
for a safe birth.

You may not believe in it,
but it's the thought that counts.

Thank you again.

Excuse me for asking...

but did someone ask you
to do this?

No...

I see.

Then I guess it's all right.

I'll be going then.

- Sorry to have bothered you.
- Not at all.

Is it true that Mr. Atomiya
is now in Hokkaido?

Yes.

I know everything.

Look, you... You're worse
than I thought.

I'm shocked.

Kasuga

How is Hokkaido, Atomiya?

What do you do every day?

I miss you now that
you're not around.

I went to see Machiko,

but she had gone to
a hot spring.

I met the hateful
mother-in-law.

Sorry, you went to
Hokkaido to forget.

I'll stop meddling and
start thinking of myself.

Oh, I wish I had a boyfriend.

Someone great
like Atomiya.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Hey, wait.

You can't put her in
the private room.

Can't you tell what she is?

Be more careful.

You.
Come with me.

I'm not going to report you
to the police,

so don't look so scared.

Sit here.

You came once before.

I know why you come here.

You pretend to be a customer,
but you're looking for a john.

Don't use this place for that.

I don't want rumors to spread

that high-class prostitutes
frequent this place.

It's not much of a place,

but we're very strict about
things like that.

Here's for ruining your
business tonight.

Take it.

Come on, take it.

You used to be a housewife.
Are you a war widow?

It's not that.
I'm unsympathetic.

I'm human after all.

People have to do anything
to survive.

But you have to be strong.

You can choose to
a different life.

It was just when
I arrived in Tokyo.

Lady. Are you looking
for work?

You're a war widow, right?

I saw you at
the employment agency.

I can find you a great job.

It's perfect for a war widow.

You don't have to act proud.

You can wear nice clothes...
Eat great things...

Know what I mean?

Hey, wait.
I'm trying to be nice.

Go away or
I'll call the police.

Police?
Sure, take me there.

Come. I said come.

Hey, you.
What are you doing?

That's no way to
treat a lady.

Who the hell are you?

What do you intend
to do with this lady?

It's none of your business.

I have lots of guys
who'll come if I call.

- You okay with that?
- So what?

You go now.
Don't worry.

- What's going on, Nozoe?
- Oh, Professor.

This man was bothering the lady.

You'll regret this.

Foolish man.

Thank you so much.

There are bad people
in this world. Be careful.

Let's go, Nozoe.

Are you from the provinces?

Yes, I was looking for a job,
and that man...

He's not that tough.

You must find
a respectable place.

But it must be tough,

living in a inn and
looking for a job.

The hotels must be expensive

and there's always men
like him.

Professor? How about
Hakka Haste“!?

Well, let's see.

There's a hostel that is
run by students

who work part time.

It'll be easier
to find a job there.

But will they take me in?

An introduction from
Professor will do the trick.

Why don't we have him
give you his card?

Here we are.

This way.

So they were in cahoots.

Yes.

There are bad people
in this world.

We're planning
to leave tomorrow.

Why don't you stay longer?
It's your second honeymoon.

You only live once.

Enjoy yourself while you can.

It's the end if you need to
come for the cure.

Being here with you,

the past seems
like a bad dream.

Bureau chief said this was
a second honeymoon

and he may be right.

Tomorrow you'll come
back home

and live with Mother again.

You're prepared
to do that?

Yes. I shall.

I'll do anything for my child.

That's why I came back.

I see.

Machiko, I wasn't
a good husband to you.

The only way I could express my
love for you was through jealousy.

I'll be more mature
from now on.

But you have to forget Atomiya.

All right?

Yes.

For the sake of the child,

we have to be
on good terms.

And we have to repair
the gulf between us.

Machiko, I don't want
you to get cold.

Let's go back to our room.

What's the matter?

You're still not well.

Dear, we will be happy
won't we?

That all depends on you.

Machiko, let's be happy.

Let's try, Machiko.

Machiko.
What's wrong?

Sorry, you went to Hokkaido to forget.

I'll stop meddling
and start thinking of myself.

Hey, what's the matter?

You must be missing
Tokyo around now.

I was thinking I want to
stay here forever.

Were you?

Then settle down here.

I can always use
another hand.

I have this many
cows and horses.

Haruki.

Want to come?
I'm going to Akan.

You sure I can come?

Is it okay, Suenaga?

Sure. Atomiya, go with her.

Go to the forest and
get rid of your old dream.

"The snow of
faraway mountains"

"is a white flower."

"Red flowers are in bloom
in my village."

"Spring is here again."

Yumi, you're a good singer.

All Ainu are good singers.

Haruki, have you forgotten
the mainland woman?

Suenaga told me...

why you came all the
way up here.

Haruki, forget the woman.

I'll make you forget.

"The black lily
is a flower of love."

"If you give it
to the one you love,"

"They will eventually
become lovers."

"Shall I give this flower
to the gentleman?"

"Because I really love
that gentleman."

Oh, Mother.

You're awake.
How are you feeling?

I was meaning
to come sooner,

but I'm busy because
I have to manage all alone.

I'm so sorry.

Machiko, I heard
you had a miscarriage.

You must feel better...
in more ways than one.

But to kill an unborn
child from carelessness...

Although you may have
intended to all along...

How could you let it die
before it came into this world.

Oh, Machiko, Aya came
to see you.

She brought
a safe-birth charm.

That man Atomiya
probably asked her.

You should have given
birth for his sake, too.

Atomiya must be
very disappointed.

What do you mean?

That's what I'd like
to ask you.

Mother, that's so cruel.

Machiko,
let's not fight anymore.

- We're not fighting.
- It's fine now.

You took responsibility
for what you did.

Don't get excited or
you won't get well.

Rest. Once you're well,
we'll talk.

- Leaving already?
- I have to go back to the inn.

What's the matter?
Does it hurt?

No. Nurse, I'd like to
send a telegram.

It's to my aunt in Sado.

Urgent.
Please come ASAP.

- Welcome.
- Hello.

Oh, we met at
Mr. Atomiya's...

So this is it.

Atomiya told me you
had a fruits store.

It's a nice store.
How's business?

- It's going well.
- Oh, good.

Could you give me
ten of those apples?

Thank you.

Don't go far.

Welcome.

Does she work here, too?

Yes. Anything wrong?

Do you remember me?

I met you near Sukiya Bridge.

Oh, yes.

You know her, Kozue?

Yes, I said unkind things
to her then.

I'm so sorry.
I apologize.

I should think before I talk.

I've forgotten.

Good. So you know Atomiya, too?

Yes, very well.

Since he went to Hokkaido
we miss him.

Me, too.

I got a letter from him
yesterday.

Oh, good. And he's well?

- Yes, it seems so.
- Is that right?

Please come in.

What a coincidence.
That we all know Atomiya.

Speaking of coincidences,

Atomiya's sister is
staying with me.

You mean the sister
from Toba?

That's right.
I think I'll come in.

So I'm trying to find
work for her.

I'm about to see someone
right now.

I see.

So she is
an unfortunate person.

That's right. So would you
keep your ears open?

Kozue, why don't we ask
her to help us here?

I suppose...

Why don't we talk to
Uncle Kaseda?

Sure. It's Atomiya's
sister after all.

Machiko, you aunt is here.

Machiko.

Aunt.

Machiko, what happened?
How awful for you.

I don't know
who contacted you,

but thanks for coming
all the way from Sado.

She's fine now.
She's going home today.

The miscarriage happened

after they had fun at
the hot springs.

That was careless of her.

Did you apologize to
Katsunori and his mother?

Machiko, since you're
so sincere,

you must have apologized,

but apologize to her again
in front of me, please.

It's not necessary.

Machiko hasn't spoken
to me for a while.

She hates me.

I was hoping to have
a talk with you.

It's good to be young.

You can get away with
anything if you cry.

Ma'am,
I'll talk to Machiko

and have her mend
her ways.

I know you're angry but
please forgive her.

All right.

She may not be able
to speak freely if I'm here,

so I'll go back to the inn.

Katsunori will be
here tonight,

so we can all talk then.

Machiko, I guessed as much
when I got your telegraph.

Aunt...

I can't.

I can't stand this anymore.

Look, Katsunori.

If you really love her,

could you live apart
from your mother?

Live apart?
You're throwing me out?

I gave birth to him and
raised him until now.

How dare you say
that to me!

Katsunori is a dutiful son.

Would you please
stay out of this?

I'm asking Katsunori.

Katsunori, you have
an important job,

but when your own wife
is being accused unjustly

you can't do a thing?

I'm amazed you can
do your job property.

You're a good-for-nothing.

You should be
the one person

who takes his wife's side.

But you side with your
perverse jealous mother.

You may say you're being
dutiful to your mother.

However, if the mother
is irrational,

it's your duty to make
her see reason.

What makes you think
I'm unreasonable?

Be careful
what you say.

That's my line.

To accuse your
daughter-in-law of adultery...

I'm not cultured like you,

just a fisherman's wife
from Sado.

So maybe I don't talk
the right way.

But I know right
from wrong.

So, Katsunori, which is it?

Are you going to live apart or not?

Well, Katsunori?

What are you going to do?

I see.
Then it can't be helped.

What will you do, Machiko?

The only way is divorce.

Machiko, why can't you
be more patient?

You said you'd endure
anything.

It's natural for
a daughter-in-law

to obey her mother-in-law
in any house.

You're selfish.

Katsunori, do you think
your mother is rational?

I'm irrational?

And you're reasonable?

Katsunori, haven't you
had enough?

If she wants to leave,
let her go.

Machiko.

Let's discuss this calmly.
Just the two of us.

If we do, we'll find
a solution.

Why don't we take a walk?

Settle it so there's no
future trouble.

Machiko,
come back soon.

You're fortunate to have
a devoted son.

Yes, thank you very much.

You, too, have
a fine niece.

She runs away,
then comes back...

When she has a miscarriage,
she wants a divorce...

I've never seen anyone
so self-centered.

If Katsunori agrees,

I would like her to leave
this very minute.

Then tell Katsunori that.

It's a miracle Machiko
endured for so long.

So you came back
just for the child.

Not for me.

You probably thought
a lot about this...

Are you sure you won't
change your mind?

I'm sorry for you.

But I can't do this anymore.

I said I would try if we
lived apart from your mother.

But even if we did,

we've hurt each other
too much.

Isn't that because

you won't try
to understand me?

That may be true.

But now,

I don't have the energy
o even try.

Machiko.

You've become
a cold-hearted woman.

I went through a lot.

Are you blaming me?

Machiko.

What will you do if I won't
give you a divorce?

What would you
have me do?

Look, why don't you let me
go back to Sado for now?

I want to think in peace.

If you must go,
I'll allow it.

But even if we are apart,
I won't let you go.

As I said before,

I don't want to lose to anyone
concerning you.

I don't want to lose
to you either.

Don't forget that.

Haruki!

What is it, Yumi?

I came to get you
because you're late.

Get down.
Let's play.

I want to tell you something.
So let's go.

I want to take you
someplace special.

This is Lake Mashu.

For us Ainu,
it's Kamui's lake,

the god's lake.

The men and women
of our village

say our vows here.

If we break it,
the gods will punish us.

But that's probably
superstition.

Haruki, it's a superstition,
isn't it?

I don't know.

But it's a beautiful custom.

Once a person makes
a pledge,

he should try to keep it.

Lake Mashu.

No wonder they call it
the enchanted lake.

It's beautiful.

Haruki.

Haruki, don't you like me?

Well?

- I don't dislike you.
- Then you like me?

I like you.

Haruki. I want to make
a vow with you here.

Please, can I?

Haruki!

Haruki!

Don't, Yumi.

Haruki, I made a pledge
to the gods of the lake.

I said my vows.

Yumi!

Haruki!
Let's go home.

Hey, Atomiya.

Yumi's telling everyone
you're going to marry her.

Is that true?

Not really.

She asked me if I liked
or disliked her.

So I told her
I liked her.

So that's it.

Up here, there's
no figure of speech.

Like is like.

But think about it...

It won't be bad to marry her
and immigrate to Hokkaido.

Why don't you decide
your future here and now?

It's not good to fixate
on your past.

It'll be a good way
to forget Machiko.

What a beautiful voice.

Guys. Hurry up and finish
and go to bed.

I saw you.

What were you doing
at Lake Mashu today?

Yumi, don't you
like me anymore?

What about our vows
at Lake Mashu?

That was then.

I like Haruki better
than you now.

I'm going to marry Haruki.

So go.

I said go.

If you don't,
I'm going to call for help.

Go. I hate you, Sabu.
I really hate you.

Yumi.

Aren't you afraid of
the god's punishment?

Yumi, aren't you afraid?

Yumi.

You made a foolish marriage.

Machiko, you might
never be happy

unless you marry Atomiya.

I wonder how he's doing.

I wonder, too...

I'll deliver the rest
once they come in.

Thank you.

How's your new job?

It's great, thanks.

You really work hard.

Excuse me.

Oh, Yukie.

Yukie, did Mr. Kaseda
speak to you?

No.

Never mind then.

Please tell him
I'll come by soon.

Excuse me.

Mr. Nishina is
a good person.

Yes, really.
He's so kind.

But he's especially
nice to you.

He probably likes you.

- I don't think so.
- I bet he does.

Because he's a bit
too attentive.

See, he's still looking
this way.

Nishina lost his wife
in the war.

He's been raising his
child on his own.

When he met you,

he thought you could be
a mother to his child.

He came to me four days ago
and I've been thinking...

Nishina has gone
through a lot,

so I thought it was fine
to make the introduction.

But a woman like me...

Even if people are
down and out,

if they really want to,
they can start over.

All of us here did it.

I want all of you
to find happiness.

That's right.

If you find happiness,
we can, too.

I have that kind of...

Hope, you mean.

That's right, we can hope.

Hope, huh.

You see, Yukie,

both Kozue and Asa
think that happy or unhappy,

what happens to you
will happen to them, too.

So please think about it.

What are you thinking about?

It's a strange world.

Remember I told you

about the sad love story
on Sukiya Bridge?

I got letters from
both of them.

The woman is in Sado,
the guy in Hokkaido.

And their letters came
together.

The woman wants
to divorce her husband

but the guy may marry
another woman.

And she's an Ainu girl,
native to Hokkaido.

Why are they so
out of synch?

Their stars won't align.
I guess.

It's too bad.
I've had enough.

I can't keep trying
to get them together.

Aya, don't be mad
about others

and find one of your own.

I'm not mad...

Oh look, this is strange.

When I tossed the letters
they landed apart

but now they've
come together.

Maybe someday
they will be together.

That's just a coincidence.

Aya, you have a guest.

Oh, Yukie.

I'm sorry I haven't
been in touch.

How are things?
Are you well?

Yes, thanks to you.

That's good.

I've been meaning to
visit you.

I need your advice.

What is it?
Come on in.

I see. It sounds
like a good match.

So you're going to have
a marriage meeting in Itako?

But should I accept

without telling him
of my past?

That's not a problem.

Get married without
telling him.

What's there to gain
by you owning up?

You'll just disappoint him.

Look, Yukie. Everyone
is entitled to get married.

Isn't that so?

Mr. Kaseda?
She has no children?

That's what I understand.

But that doesn't mean
she can't be a good mother.

Of course, she would
be perfect.

Mr. Nishina, I'll vouch for her.

She's a good person.

But if she had a dark past,
what would you do?

Is there something
in her past?

No, I think she's led
an upstanding life.

But the few years
after the war ended,

there are things
we all did

that we wish wouldn't
come to light.

Because I did what I did,
it sounds like an excuse.

Same goes for me.

Perhaps not asking
about our past

is the etiquette these days.

Etiquette? I agree.

Hey, you.

Long time.

Where are you going?

You look like
you're in the money.

Looks like you made
a good catch.

What does that mean?

What do you think?

There's a lot I want to say.

Let's go.

- Excuse me.
- Hey.

Is she asleep?

- Yes.
- Thank you.

Yukie, come over here
and relax.

- Sorry to have troubled you.
- Not at all.

So do you think you want
to be her mother?

- Yes.
- That's good.

- Right, Mr. Nishina?
- Thanks to you.

Asa, you, too.

Mr. Nishina,
I'm so glad.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

I'm so glad.
This is auspicious.

Please have one, too.

Is one of you Miss Yukie?

A Mr. Yokoyama is
waiting downstairs.

Yokoyama?

Isn't that the man
on the boat?

I don't know.

I'll go see what he wants.

If that's the man,
I know him well.

I'll go see him.

Yukie, you and Mr. Nishina
have a decision to make.

So talk it over well.

Why do you want
to see her?

I bet you're up to no good.

You're right, of course.

Yokoyama, this is
an important time for her.

She's on the verge
of finding happiness.

Don't mess things up.

I'm surprised your Excellency
is acquainted with her.

You know, don't you?

I don't know what story
she's putting about,

- but she used to be my...
- What of it?

Oh, nothing much.

But we invested
money in that woman.

What?

Hey, Yokoyama!

You're throwing your
weight around.

Let's be friends.

It's nice to see you
doing well.

I read about your
smuggling in Okinawa.

You always did things
in a big way.

Not like us,

chasing around
a woman or two...

Shut up!

Shut up?

Are you kidding?

You're still on parole.

Hey, Yokoyama.

Why do you only think about
making people unhappy.

I still have affections
for that woman.

Forget it.

I won't get anywhere
talking to you.

I'll talk to her
directly.

Hey. Yokoyama, stop.

- What?
- Damn you.

How dare you strike me!

We're not at war anymore.

Old man. Do you think
you can get the better of me?

You're not young any more.

Oh, wait, wail.

Hey.

Yokoyama.

Yokoyama?

Uncle.

Uncle Kaseda.

Uncle?

What happened?

What did the police say?

They know the victim is
an unsavory character.

But Mr. Kaseda won't say
what happened.

Then they won't
release him?

The victim is hospitalized
in serious condition,

so it may take a couple
of days.

Uncle Kaseda was
still on parole.

I should...

I should go to the police
and talk to them.

This all happened
because of me.

Yukie.

Are you telling me that

you know why those two
were arguing?

Mr. Nishina.
I'll...

I'll tell you everything.

I was.

Yukie.
Don't.

You can talk to the police
to save Mr. Kaseda.

But don't tell me about it.

To tell you the truth, I knew
I've known for some time.

It's only natural I'd be careful
about any prospective wife.

I did some checking.

At first,
I was shocked.

But when I saw how hard
you were working,

I could tell
which one of you...

the past or the present,
was the real you.

No matter what's in your past,

all that matters is that now,
you're leading an honest life.

Right, Yukie?

You will marry me?

Please make
my daughter happy.

Please.

Then, let's go to
the police together.

And you tell them
what you know.

If they know the reason,
they will release him.

Mr. Nishina...

Shall we go?

About the same time...

Sado

What fine weather
we're having.

It will be cold soon.

Machiko, I see you got
a letter.

Is it from Katsunori?

- No.
- Then who?

It was from Aya.

Aya?
What did she say?

Aunt.

Mr. Atomiya.

What about Mr. Atomiya?

Oh my. Mr. Atomiya's
getting married in Hokkaido?

Is it true?

But what's
Katsunori thinking?

He hasn't said anything.

He should make his
intentions clear

whether he will grant you
a divorce or not.

Does he still think
you're coming back?

We have to settle this
before winter.

Agreed, Machiko?

Nobue.
Hey, Nobue.

The bossy man is home.

Nobue, didn't you hear me?

I heard you.

Then why didn't you answer?
Idiot!

You kept me waiting.

- Good for nothing.
- What?

I'm talking about Katsunori.

Section Chief Room.

Reception Room

Machiko.
It's been a long time.

When did you come
to Tokyo?

I just arrived. I shouldn't have
bothered you at work...

So you've come home?

I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

It's about the divorce.
I want it now.

Why?

Did you come all the way
to tell me that?

You must know
what my answer is.

We should talk about that
at home.

I can't talk about that
at the office.

I'm in a meeting right now.

Go home and
wait for me there.

Your room is just
the way it was.

Let's talk about this tonight.

Okay, Machiko?

You car will be here
momentarily.

It was a grand affair.
Congratulations.

I hope you both will be
very happy.

Thank you.

Uncle, there's more sake.

Yukie, Brother Atomiya
is here.

What?

Mr. Atomiya.
It's been a while.

Same here.

I'm so glad you came.

I should have come sooner.

Sister, congratulations.

Thank you.
I owe it all to them.

I see.
Thank you all.

Mr. Nishina. Please take
care of my sister.

I will.

Mr. Atomiya, please sit.

Let's celebrate.
Have a glass.

You haven't change.

Is it true you're
getting married in Hokkaido?

Say it's not true.

Come back to Tokyo
and live with us.

Asa, don't interfere.

Look, Sukiya Bridge.

I kept waiting.

I staked my whole life
on that night's promise.

Haruki, I wanted
to see you, too.

Now I know you were
waiting for me

feeling the same way.

I want to know everything.

Haruki.

I'm getting married
tomorrow.

Was that
the last train today?

When is he coming back?

Are you going back
to the ranch?

Can you take a passenger?

- She has business there.
- Sure thing.

She'll take you.
It was good timing.

- Get in the back.
- Thank you.

Why are you going
to the ranch?

I understand
a Mr. Atomiya is there.

Haruki?

What do you want
with Haruki?

I want to see him
and talk to him.

What's your name?

Is it Machiko?

I'm right, aren't I?

Yes.

Haruki's not here.
He's in Tokyo.

When he comes back,
I'm going to marry him.

Scared?
Haruki wouldn't be scared.

Welcome. I hear you were
on a business trip.

- I just came back today.
- You must be tired.

Hamaguchi,
I'm here tonight

because of your wife.

Machiko?

I hear you're still
separated.

I didn't know.

She's a self-centered woman.

She comes and goes
as she pleases.

I don't know what to do.

I hear she showed up
at the office.

Who knows where she's
got to now.

Chief, why do you want
to talk about Machiko?

Well... I met her.

At Hakodate Station

on my way back from
Sapporo.

Hakodate?

So Machiko
is in Hokkaido?

Chief, are you sure?

Yes, I met her.

What a woman!

Chief, did you know

that in Hokkaido...

We didn't have
a lot of time.

But she told me
the gist.

I don't want to interfere

in matters between
a husband and wife.

But she sounded
very unhappy.

She was crying.

I don't know what
she told you,

but that woman always
cries for effect.

I see. I have a soft spot
for young woman

so I sympathized with her.

It wouldn't do to just hear
one side of the story.

I'm sure you have
your say, too.

But she asked me
to help.

To think she'd bother
you with that.

I'm ashamed she aired our
dirty laundry in public.

Katsunori?
It's your fault.

Because you're
indecisive.

You should divorce her.

You must know why
she went to Hokkaido.

She went to be
with that man.

What an awful woman.

Chief. I am Machiko's
husband.

I will handle Machiko.

Sakakibara Law Offices

Yumi.

Yumi.

- Yumi.
- Yumi.

Let me take you home.

I said no, Ma.
I won't leave.

But the festival's tonight.

- Let's go.
- No!

Yumi, don't be stubborn.

Your ma and Sabu
came to fetch you.

So go with them.

I don't care about
any festival.

I'm going to wait
for Haruki here.

Are you serious, Yumi?

What about Saburo?

I don't care
about Saburo.

I'm waiting for Haruki.

Atomiya won't be back
for some time.

When he comes back,
you can see him right away.

It's a holiday after all.
Go home.

No!

Haruki will come back
tomorrow.

I won't budge until
Haruki comes back.

Yumi!

Why are you being
so stubborn?

I'm going to get angry.

Go home!

Boss.
You want me to leave

because that woman
came from Tokyo.

I won't leave.

If I do, she'll take
Haruki from me.

If I can't have Haruki,
I'll die.

Yumi, don't be
so unreasonable.

Yumi, let's go.

Please, let's go.

No!

Stop making this
difficult. Go home.

- No!
- Go!

You stubborn girl.

Don't make me force you.

Understand, Yumi?

Understand?

You must be surprised.

As you can see,

Hokkaido is a wild
uninhibited place.

I shouldn't have come.

Yes, for Yumi's sake.

But for Atomiya...?
I'm not so sure.

He'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening.

I haven't see you
in a while, Constable.

It's getting cold.

It'll be snowing soon.

- I'll make some tea.
- This is fine.

What is it?

Nothing serious.

A cow from the next ranch
has gone missing.

I'm looking for it.

I see.

It probably went
to see the festival.

Please come in.

You have a guest.

She's from the mainland.

She's beautiful.

Oh, is this her?
Machiko Hamaguchi?

Yes.
What of it?

It's nothing.

There's an inquiry
from Tokyo about her.

It's fine if you're here.
It's nothing important.

I guess I'll continue
to chase the cow.

Sorry to have bothered you.

It's going to get cold.

Yumi, you insist on
going to the station?

Then you refuse to
marry Saburo?

Lake Mashu is
God's lake.

Are you prepared to
break your vow?

Lying to me
or to Saburo,

that can't be helped.

But if you lie to God's lake,

something awful
will happen.

Lake Mashu is the
guardian deity

of the Ainu people.

Aren't you afraid of
God's wrath?

I'm not afraid.
Not at all.

Haruki said
he'll marry me.

I love Haruki
more than God.

Yumi, don't you know?

That woman from
the mainland...

Boss Suenaga told me
about her.

That woman is
Atomiya's beloved.

That's right.

Boss Suenaga told me, too.

Now that she's here,

Atomiya won't give you
a second glance.

Yumi, you're a woman
of this village.

Keep your promise
to God. Marry Saburo.

That's where
your happiness lies.

Our happiness lies
with each other.

That is our fate.

Please try to understand.

No. I'm not going to lose
out to that woman.

I won't lose.

So don't stop me.

Yumi!

Yumi.

Saburo.

I have a feeling

something horrible
will happen.

Haruki!

- Yumi, you came.
- You're late.

- I was here every day.
- Is that so?

Let's go.

Atomiya. She's been
waiting for you.

Machiko.

Why are you here?

I wanted to see you.

You can talk later.
Let's go.

Shall we go?

- Let's go.
- Yes.

Haruki.

I brought you a present.

You won't come with me?

I have a guest today.

Yumi, take this and
go home alone.

Yumi.

See?

Machiko. I came here
to forget you.

I intended to die here,

and tried to love
that girl, Yumi.

I was on the verge of
losing you forever.

Machiko.
I'm glad you came.

I couldn't help myself.

I had no idea
what would happen,

but before I knew it,
I was here.

But now that I've met you,
I'm really glad I came.

This is the northernmost
place in Japan.

Is this the only place for us?

Haruki...

Saburo.

Saburo.
I was wrong.

I was wrong to break my vows
to you and the gods.

Yumi, let's go home.

Forget the man from
the mainland.

This is God's punishment.

I can't go back
to the village.

I'm in love with Haruki.

Saburo.
I'm sorry.

Yumi!

Yumi...

Saburo...

Well?

We didn't find them.

Once you go under,
you never come up again.

Atomiya,
you must be tired.

I'll draw a bath for you.

It's my fault. I shouldn't
have come.

I caused this to happen.

Machiko.
You're not to blame.

The fault is all mine.

I led that girl on.

Atomiya, a word?

This came for Machiko.

It's a court summons.

Machiko.

It's an order for restitution
of conjugal rights.

He's determined not
to divorce you.

Machiko.

You must return to Tokyo.

It's a court order.

After I do what I have to
for Yumi,

I'll come back to Tokyo.

We'll figure out
what to do then.

It's hard for me to
say this to you.

You've come such
a long way for me.

But, Machiko, we should
do the right thing.

No matter how long
we may suffer,

if we keep our hearts pure,

someday we'll be
together.

Let's wait for that day.

Will you, Machiko?

Yes.

Oh...
It's snowing.

No matter what happens,
don't despair.

I won't.
But I never expected

to part again in misery.

Haruki.
I don't want to go.

I don't want to
let you go.

Haruki...

I'm going.

Machiko.

Haruki.

We'll meet again?

I have a feeling I'll never
see you again.

Machiko.

Let's be strong.

Yes.

Take care.

You, too.

And thus, Machiko and Haruki,

parted in sadness once again.

When will they finally be together?
