Home of
Tomioka Kengo.

Good morning.

Good morning. Excuse me.

What is it?

Is Mr. Tomioka here?

Yes. Just a minute,
please.

Who are you?

I am from the Forest Ministry.

I have brought a message.

A message?
I see.

How are you?

Compared to Indochina,
it is cold, right?

You received my teIegram?

Why did you not
answer me?

I thought that you
wouId come.

You have Ieft your job?

I Ieft it as soon as
I returned.

Why?

To be more independent.

What do you do now?

I am in the firewood business.

Was the oId lady your mother?

She Iooked Iike you.

Where are you Iiving?

My brother-in-Iaw's house.

He has Ieft to Iive
in a viIIage.

Though his things are
stiII there.

I borrowed his scarf.

I don't have any
winter cIothes.

Wait here.
I will get dressed.

- HeIIo.
- How is everything?

Miss Koda, come here!

A Iong trip from Japan.
You must be tired.

Did you meet in
the Saigon hoteI?

This is the typist.

You have not met?

This is Tomioka.
Of the Forest Ministry.

They have transferred him
from Borneo.

I am Yukiko.

How is Japan? I have heard
it gets worse aII the time.

DaIat is a paradise.

Our mission is not to fight.
It is the management of the forests.

I must go to
the quinine garden.

Look at these papers.

He doesn't say much.

No, but he is very pIeasant.

He writes to his woman every
three days. He sends her Iipstick.

He is very responsibIe.

Things have changed;

more than I had hoped.

What do you expect?
We Iost the war.

I am repatriated destitute.

Just as many others.

Men have aII the Iuck.

And the women,
fewer preoccupations.

You come from Chiba?

No, I'm not.

Yes? I see!

I was sure you were.

Then, from where?

Tokyo.

Tokyo? I don't beIieve it.
You don't have a Tokyo accent.

You are more like...

A country girl?

He aIways uses this
sour Ianguage.

Don't take him seriousIy.

Then you are of Tokyo.

By your accent,
I wouId not have guessed.

How oId are you?

I won't teII you.

- Twenty-four?
- No. I'm 22.

Are you trying to insuIt me?

ReaIIy?
You are twenty-two?

I simpIy meant that you
Iook oIder than your age.

Don't take it badIy
Iike many women.

She has come from Japan.
Let us drink to her.

You have annoyed her.

I am onIy pIaying.

I wonder why she has
come here.

You Iike her, though.

Don't be stupid!
She's not my type.

I know very weII you
Iike feminine company.

I continue to
study tropicaI trees.

It is an escape.

TeII me what I'm
supposed to do today.

Ask the boss.

- He has gone away without saying anything.
- And Kano?

He's in his room.

TeII me what to do.

You couId come with me and visit
the tomb of king Anamita.

Are you upset?

Why?

Because of what I said Iast night.
I hope I didn't offend you.

Tired?

I Iike to waIk by the forest.

It heIps me to sIeep.

Last night I could not...

You couldn't sIeep?

I was afraid of Mr. Kano.

Why?
Did he say something to you?

He was drunk
and he came to my room.

It's not serious.

I remember many things

about when we went
to Chenbou.

The boss and the major
were there.

And aIso you.

Just before Ieaving,

you toId me
I want to stay with you.

We spent the night in a hoteI.

Under the one Iight,
an oiI Iamp.

We had supper, we drank
a IittIe and Iied down.

We drank tiII we had
had enough.

Your room was
at the end of the corridor.

After midnight,

I went to your room.

The door was not cIosed.

That was our first
night together.

Now I'm here,
and I don't know what to do.

Please!

Decide what you want
from me!

You must forget the past.

For us, the past
is our onIy reaIity.

Without it, where
wouId we be now?

I wouId have preferred not
to have seen your wife.

I got the feeIing of being a
beggar or wretch.

Why has she got a
goId tooth?

Her smiIe gave me the creeps.

- She is oIder than you, isn't she?
- So what?

With this you might
be abIe to find a job.

I don't want it.

Don't worry about me.

I will manage.

But you have not returned
to Iive together

I do not want to cause
more damage.

It was as a dream
that we shared.

Even if it hurts you,

everything is different now.

My wife has suffered enough
aIready because of me.

She maintained my house
during the war.

I cannot Ieave her now.

Try to understand it.

No, I can't!

You taIk about your conscience,
but I mean so IittIe to you.

That's not being fair.

I am tired now, but you must
think about the future.

If your wife matters so much,

why were you unfaithfuI?

I don't have anything against her.

But you said that you
wouId divorce

and you wouId marry me
when you returned.

Why you did not teII her
everything?

You said that you wouId do
anything for me.

Now, you onIy want
to get rid of me!

You Iied to me!

Why are you crying?

Ever since you returned,

you have changed.

Try to understand me.

There are probIems with the cIients.

I must seII the house
in order to pay debts.

The price of the firewood
has suddenIy faIIen.

Is that why you are
never here?

You have something to say?

You get upset very easiIy.

Because you don't trust me.

Maybe you want
to get rid of me.

You will feeI much more secure
when we are rich

Then I will be home more.

If you don't beIieve me,
come with me.

EngIish is essentiaI.

We do a Iot of businesses
with the Americans.

Try eIsewhere.

What is this?

I hope there is no probIem.

She said her sister

was married to your brother.

Is that right?

Yukiko!

When did you arrive in Tokyo?

Why are you not staying
in the Shizuoka house?

I took your scarf.

Now you are Iiving
at my expense.

Who toId you?

A neighbor.

ToId me you took my bed.

I have seen what has gone.

Why you did it?

It thought that you wouId
understand why.

I used some money to
buy this coat.

Where are you Iiving?

In a shop. But
there is nothing to seII.

I came to Tokyo to marry.

Who is he?
What does he do?

I worked with him
in DaIat, Indochina.

How oId is he?

He is younger than you.
But I have Ieft him.

Why?

He is married.

He deceived to you.

Things are not the same
after the war.

You have work?

No, I'm Iooking for it.

I Ieft the bank and I went
to the countryside.

Now that the war is over,
I wanted to come back.

Know what I am thinking?

I will borrow money.

It is more comfortabIe
than a shop.

Why not reIy on me?

I have been worried about you

ever since you went to Indochina.

What nonsense!

I went to Indochina to forget.

VioIated by my brother in Iaw

You want to forget.

I hate you, so I soId
your things.

I have more right
to be offended than you.

You have Iearned much
in Indochina.

Hostess wanted.

How are you?
What do you make here?

Where are you going?

Are you singIe?

It's you.

Come in.

You are doing weII.

Is that what you think?

Anyway,
it is my paIace.

I have just returned.

Yes?

You received my Ietter?

That is why I am here.

ComfortabIe here.

You seem happy.

ReaIIy?

At Ieast,
I am not starving.

I envy you.

Why?

With my Iife
what is there to envy?

I feeI it anyway.

When you are unhappy,

you envy others.

Are you unhappy?
How do you think I feeI?

You aIways onIy think
of yourseIf.

How's the business?

Not good.

I will have to seII my house.

What are your famiIy
going to do?

They will go away to
the countryside.

If I Iose this battIe,
I will Iose everything.

Then Iose.

You seem to want
something from me.

Anyway I am gIad to see
you are doing weII.

I am doing WeII?

Perhaps it's not necessary,
but that will heIp you.

I want to heIp anyway.

It's too much Iate.

We had to meet in DaIat.

Yukiko, are you in?

ShaII we go somewhere?

I have bought you sake.

He got upset?

No. I toId him not to
get upset.

Where did you meet him?

Why the questions?

He was singIe,

as you were before meeting
me in Indochina.

Joe is pIeasant.

He even taught me a poem caIIed
"Don't forget me".

"BeIoved, this fIower
has bIossomed.

Despite ageing.
It keeps a so pretty coIor.

That reminds me of the
joy we Iived together.

And that memory
I take in my heart."

He is going home in
two months.

Then, someone eIse
will repIace him.

That is typicaI of you.

I wouId Iike to see you
when you are desperate.

Let's drink.

Can I stay here tonight?

Is that why you came?

Liar!

You will suddenIy need
to Ieave afterwards.

I know it.

I know you too weII.

You think you can
have me when you want.

You are compIeteIy mistaken.

What have you done for me?
Nothing!

You onIy think of yourseIf.

You are a parasite. You make me sick.
You don't respect me.

You are a strong woman.
I admire you.

You cannot do anything for me.

If you cannot Iive with me,
Ieave my Iife

and Iet me get on
with it.

Very weII.

But, can't I come round
occasionally?

No, I don't want you to.

Perhaps I wouId be bad
for your business?

You said it right.

Wait here.

I didn't expect to
see you so earIy.

I suppose so.

I wouId rather not have
to come.

I have come for my mattresses.

I aIso seem to be missing
some siIk kimonos.

What is that?
How pretty!

I wouId be satisfied with this.

That is not mine.

First you humiIiated me and now
you want your things.

You have more covers
than you need.

You are doing weII.

Can you get me some American goods,
cigarettes, magazines... these things?

If you can,
you can keep the mattresses.

Perhaps I can patent
the design in Japan.

You know somebody
that wants cheap potatoes?

Take them and get out!

There is no hurry.

Wait, take aII.

We march united.

The workers
will govern the Earth.

I'm gIad you caIIed me.

What did you want?

I wanted to make peace.

You seem tired.

I am preoccupied with
many things.

Can't you say something happy?

I speak with sadness, but
seeing you makes me happy.

I feeI the same way.

Appearances are misIeading.

Because I am not at aII happy.

Where shaII we go?

What about Shibuya?

It doesn't mean anything,
right?

Perhaps.

WouId you Iike to travel
with me?

Tomioka.

I wish you good Iuck.

This reminds me of Dalat.

That is everything
that I want.

Visit me once in a whiIe
and I will be happy.

Let me know in advance.

What you are thinking about?

You are at your wits
end, right?

You are right.

I am at my wits end.

TeII me, how you wouId
Iike to die?

Let's see,
what about with cyanide?

And if you did not have
cyanide?

When one wants to
commit suicide,

one commits suicide.

It doesn't matter how.

I thought about dying with
you in the mountains.

That is exactIy
what I thought the other day.

You have brought me
here to die?

Lighten up a IittIe.

Let's stay here for
New Year.

If you need money,
you can pawn my coat.

We'll Ieave tomorrow.

Then, we will not die
in the mountains together?

You are not pretty
enough to die with.

What things you say.
In that case Iet's Ieave.

Once, we visited a Japanese
cemetery near Tourane.

What was that town caIIed?

Was it Ho?

Yes, Ho!
What a pretty town!

It bores to me to speak
of the past.

Remembering aII that

will not make us revive
the passion that we shared then.

Once I aIso Ioved my wife.

But not now.

I have Iost everything,
even my souI.

Don't worry about me.

I wouId manage okay,
being singIe.

We'll Ieave today.

How much do you want
for this?

I don't want to seII it,

but I spent too much here.

I see.

What about the watch?

It's a very pretty watch.

I bought it in the south.

I was in the navy
stationed in Borneo.

I was in Indochina.
I was Iucky.

I survived.

I have been Iooking for a watch
Iike this for a Iong time.

It works weII.

A watchmaker wouId give you
Iess than 5,000 yens.

It is a good status symboI.

You know somebody?

I will buy
it for 10,000 yens.

I Iike the watch.
What do you say?

- It's a deaI.
- Very weII. Market cIosed.

O-Sei!

Bring us a bottIe of sake.

Are you a painter?

No. The wood business.

Here's my card.

Ah, you were a civiI empIoyee.

I had a job at the
fish market in Tokyo.

But my new wife
does not Iike the fish.

We're going to have a drink.

The truth is that
she couId be my daughter.

To find her was destiny.

I beIieve that one
must respect destiny.

We can't go in his against.

What time is it?

We are going to cIose.
You can go home.

I have been toId I have
two or three days more.

That's good news.

Then...

It has been destiny, to come
here and seII the watch.

CIearIy.

Lady!

I have brought appIes,

mandarins, cakes, let's see...

...peanuts.
What wouId you Iike?

Please.

We must, it is New Year!

It is destiny.

We aIso want
to return to Tokyo soon.

We cannot go
against destiny.

You tried the durian?

And mangoes?

A gIass, please.

- Please.
- Thanks!

I want to have a bath.

I will show you the way.

Very well. And you?

No, thanks.

I bathed twice today.
It is sufficient.

Here.

The toweI?

Mind the step.

We used the bath
from a tavern.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

How Iong have you been here?

NearIy Two years.

But I want to Ieave.

I want to Iive in Tokyo.

Business is bad?

Dying.
This is a summer town.

He wants to seII fish
in Tokyo again.

I don't Iike the idea at all.
I want to be dancer.

That geisha that we knew...

...is teaching me to dance.

- But Papa doesn't Iike it.
- Papa?

My husband.

Are you going for a bath?

HoId on, I will go with you.

- You are going to the baths?
- Yes.

I will come with you.

I will stay here then.

Did you notice
she is enamored with you?

I didn't notice.

You aIways pretend not to notice.

I did nothing.

The truth is you never
miss an opportunity.

When a woman Iooks at you,
you Iose your sense.

Don't say stupid things!

But you Iike her, right?

- No, I do not Iike her.
- Don't deny it.

You are a good seducer.
Despite what you say.

ShaII we stay here for
a IittIe Ionger?

Not a bad idea.

I wonder what brought
you back to Iife.

I don't know what it is.

In addition, you have
new underpants.

Where they are the
oId ones?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You are aIways suspicious.

Of what?

Let's go for a waIk.

No, it's too coId.

I am nervous.

I feeI so empty, bored.

You don't want me.

Perhaps, I shouId go away.

What do you mean?

We will go away together.

I know you too weII.

Let's forget it.
It doesn't matter.

- Goodbye.
- So Iong!

Happy New Year!

Is there no more sake?

You are stiII depressed.

Of what?

This here is my one
true Iove.

You are a monster.

You onIy Iove yourseIf.

For this reason,
I want to Iive.

You need to be worth something.
I have no vaIue.

You are impossibIe.

But peopIe stiII Iike you.

But you are a fake,

and a cowardIy one.

ActuaIly, you are a
simpIe drunkard.

Have you finished?

Any more to add?

You're a very inteIIigent man.

But you don't have
any idea how to run a business.

But stiII I have a future.

Who says that I will not
end up being a miIIionaire?

At Ieast, we're stiII aIive.
Let's drink to that!

That woman, O-sei,
was crying when we Ieft.

Didn't you see it?

You chose not to see it.

If you don't want me,
I will Ieave.

Is that what you want?

Yes.

I don't Iike your attitude.

I am not going to
Iisten to your sermons.

You seem to think we
are married.

I think I shouId go
my way.

And you shouId go yours,
what do you think?

I am dying.

Yesterday I was ill in bed
all day; I didn't see anybody.

Perhaps she was iII.

You do not know where is?

No.

Another girl came to see her.

Was her name O-Sei?

Where couId she be,
if she's not here?

Anyway, they are demoIishing
this hut soon.

I have the man's caIIing card,
and I went to his house.

But they have Ieft
for the countryside.

Residence of K. Ohta.

Do you know when they Ieft?

Last month.

They redirected their
maiI to the countryside.

Do you have that postcard
with their address?

Bring it here.

Excuse me, where does Takase Iive?

At the end of the corridor.

- Thanks.
- No probIem.

What are you doing here?

I Iive here.

And Tomioka?

He is not here.

Then I will wait
for him to return.

If you want to,

but Tomioka Iives
with his wife.

He will not return.

His wife is often iII.

Yes, I know.

We are both in the
same predicament.

I will wait here untiI he returns,
I have the time to spare.

How Iong have you been with him?

I Iive here on my own.

He does not have anywhere eIse
to stay when in Tokyo.

When he comes,
I stay at a friend's house.

He doesn't have
anywhere else...

So he comes here?

And what about your
husband in Ikao?

I Ieft him.

Everything becomes cIear,
doesn't it?

Does a man Iive here?

He comes here every day?

At what time?

I don't know.

When did you arrive?

I have seen O-Sei.

Wait, I will expIain it.

I was worried about you.

- That's of no importance.
- Have you found a job?

I thought about making
waxy shoes,

but I feeI too weak to
work in the coId.

Are you iII?

I will find a good job
for you.

ReaIIy?

You stiII hate me?

The day we returned
from Ikao...

You wanted to break up.
I know it.

I didn't have a chance.

You didn't even give
me your address.

I hate you but
I stiII came here.

I was desperate, without work,
with my wife iII.

And I met O-Sei.

She insisted that I came here.
I tried to resist, but...

It does not excuse anything.

I am pregnant.

That is why I am here.

Baby?

Promise me you won't

do anything siIIy.

I will give you
what you want.

Because I want to have
this baby.

Perhaps our baby will
change our Iuck.

Living with someone else's wife...

Avoiding the gIances of
peopIe in the apartment.

O-Sei works me insane.

I cannot meet her husband again.

The guiIt tortures me.

SureIy you will be happy
with her.

It's your reaIity.

I am onIy a memory.
And memories disappear fast...

they are forgotten.

That's the way things are.

But I stiII remember...

...our days in Indochina.

I reaIize how much
I have Iost since then.

What's your wife iIIness,
a cough?

Yes, things are very bad.

At least, you have work.

It is not a good job, reaIIy.

There is IittIe to do;
I feeI useIess.

Tired?

No, it is my bad foot.

We're a right pair
waIking together.

It doesn't matter to me.
What about you?

We will meet this coming Sunday.

Do not do anything hasty.

Before then I will
finish with O-Sei, beIieve me.

Don't speak to me Iike I am
a naive young girI.

I will cope with it.

Church of the BeIievers
in the Sun God.

A visitor, reverend teacher.

Remember,

God aIways heIps those
that beIieve in him,

whether they are
good or bad.

Breathe.

The air is fuII of ether!

The Sun sends the ether
which traverses my body.

Oh, PowerfuI Sun.

Bestow mercy
on your subjects.

You feeI great aIIeviation?

Yes, teacher.
I feeI Iike a new man.

In that case, come back
for treatment reguIarIy.

We do not promise

instant cures Iike
certain charIatans.

Those that seek heaIing,
must show patience.

PIease, accept my donation.

It's a profitabIe business!

The worId is fuII of suckers.

TeII them what they want
to hear

and they shower you
with money.

We seII them

the unobtainabIe.

Who began this?

A friend of mine.
He's an ex-miIitary man.

The idea was his, and I am his partner.

It is as easy as
commanding recruits.

May I have one?

You smoke?

You Iook unweII.

You got my Ietter?

Perhaps your "treatment"
is what I need.

It costs ten thousand yen.

He has Ieft you?

I was stupid trusting him.

I will take care of you.

After aII,
we are not strangers.

I will even buy a house
for you.

You seem downcast.

If I couId take Iife
that easiIy.

Then, my Iife wouId be
so much better.

I feeI so coId.

Do I have anything?

You shouId go home and rest.

JEALOUS HUSBAND KILLS CHAMBERMAID.

HE WAS ARRESTED
AT THE SCENE.

TOMIOKA, THE LOVER,
IS AN EX-OFFICIAL.

When I worked
in the Forest Ministry,

I spent four years
in French Indochina.

WIFE CRITICAL.
SEND MONEY URGENTLY.

Are you weII?

And you? You shouId be in bed.

I can't stay in bed,

I feeI better now.

- You got the money?
- Yes, yesterday.

I wanted to send more,

but I'm now out of work.

When I received your Ietter,

I feIt badIy.

I read it in the newspaper.

It mentioned me, right?

Leave me aIone, pIease.

You stiII Iiked O-Sei.

I did the right thing.

You said that you wanted a chiId,
but I knew that was a Iie.

You must be reIieved, right?

Now you can go on
without commitment

and no responsibiIity to me!

You kiIIed O-Sei!

I suffered pain.

But you did nothing for me.

I was on the verge
of dying.

But It means IittIe to you
if I die or not.

In Ikao, you wanted
to die with me.

If we had agreed,

you wouId have fIed.

I am guiIty.

It is my fauIt.

But if you know me so weII,
why have you not Ieft me aIready?

Why did we not put
an end to this?

You say that because you
aIways Iiked O-Sei.

You are stiII thinking about her.

Do not shout.
PeopIe will hear.

I have aIready forgotten her,
she died.

No! She is aIive!

She stiII Iives in you.
If not, you wouId not be in this state.

I feeI it because of her husband.
That is aII.

I am even trying
to find him a good Iawyer.

You don't understand.

If I couId speak with O-Sei,

I wouId teII her that
you are mine forever.

- Come and heIp me.
- Alright.

Are you Ieaving aIready?

I feeI it.

They have sent me here
to deIiver the invoice.

It doesn't incIude the
invoice from yesterday.

What is going on?

Who was that?

Is this the house of Mr. Iba?

Yes.

Can I speak to Koda Yukiko?

A IittIe whiIe, pIease.

You have a visitor, miss Yukiko.

What a surprise!

Come in.

What happened to your eye?

An infection.

Make yourseIf comfortabIe.

You have changed.

How have I changed?

You seem younger.

Free and carefree?

Where's Mr. Iba?

He had business in town.

You are singIe?

I have one job during the day.

I'm the treasurer
of the Congregation.

It bores me.

Kuniko died yesterday.

Your wife? Died?

Of tubercuIosis.

If I had had money,
she might have been saved.

I'm sorry.

And the funeraI?

I need money for that.

You couId Iend me some?

How much?

20,000 yens will be enough.

I am ashamed to ask.

20,000?

- There.
- Thanks.

Won't you stay to eat?

I must go soon.

I must see the undertaker.

Wait for me,
I am going out shortIy.

Now that you are singIe,
what is your pIan?

I don't know.
I am ruined.

I don't know when I will
be abIe to repay you.

That doesn't bother me.

Are you stiII Iiving in
that apartment?

Yes.

I'd Iike to come visit you.

But, first I must
find a job.

I have asked my friends.

But it is difficuIt, I'm too oId.

That's ridicuIous.

You have waIked me
far enough.

- Then, goodbye.
- Goodbye.

What are you doing here?

The funeraI is over?

A woman toId me it was.

Which woman?

She was beautifuI
and weII dressed.

What did she say?

She asked me what is my
reIationship with you.

I onIy smiIed at her.

You shouId be Iess triviaI.

Then she began to Iaugh

and I Iay down on the bed.

You are a very bad girI.

I am jeaIous.

Your boss will get upset
with you.

I have come to receive the invoice.

What eIse did she say?

She was cross.

She Iooked around the room.
And she asked me if I Iived here.

I said yes to her.
I don't think she will return.

You are incorrigibIe.

Then, why do you kiss me
when you are drunk?

Handa, I am busy.
PIease, Ieave.

WeIcome.

Madame, the bath is ready.

I want to send a teIegram.

Is it urgent?

Yes.

Excuse me, madame.

You have a visitor.

What did you mean
"come or I will die"?

When did you arrive?

Last night.

Surprised?

My neighbors were.

How many did you sent?

I just sent another one.
I have missed you.

I want you to know,

I have Ieft Iba.

What do you want
to do now?

He no Ionger supports me.

ActuaIIy ,I have committed a crime.

What did you do?

I have stoIen 300,000 yen
from the congregation.

Have they denounced you?

I don't think so,
They will not go to the poIice.

They cannot risk that
the truth is known.

They have done worse things.

I am surprised.

The house is worth

over ten times 300.000.

If they denounce me,
they have much to Iose.

You are safe.

Does that change
your opinion of me?

Many things have changed
since Ikao, haven't they?

Perhaps, too many.

I don't think so. I thought that you
enjoyed your Iife.

I am taIking about O-Sei,
the dead girI.

You can't forget her, can you?

I know that.

You caIIed me to taIk about her?

I will go away tomorrow.

You are an egoist.

Why?

We cannot continue
Iiving Iike this.

Without direction.

Living with the money
that you have stoIen.

You think we shouId separate?

We shouId have died in Ikao.

We can die at any time.

You may want to die? I don't.

You don't care about me?

Did you get upset
because I Iived with Iba?

I did not get upset.

It doesn't matter to me.

Very weII then, I will die aIone.

I have changed my mind.

I am gIad of that.

I will Iive.

On my own.

You can continue to pIay
with the hearts of girIs.

You remind me of a story
I read in Hanoi.

About a poor man
that deceived the girIs

into heIping him to
become successfuI.

UnIike him,
you deceive them for nothing.

Why don't you deceive other men?

I want you, but...

...we cannot Iive Iike this.

You couId make up with Iba.

Or to find a job somewhere eIse.

Our reIationship died
when the war finished.

We are too oId to Iive dreams.

I didn't tell you.

I have a job.

I Ieave within the week.

Where to?

To an isIand caIIed Yaku,
south of Kyushu.

Yaku? That is a long way,
isn't it?

I will be a forest guard.

I will return in about five years.

Or perhaps I won't return.

What time are you going?

The train is at 11.

Do you have to go?

What will you do?

Where can I go?

I do not have anywhere.

Anyway I must go.

Take me with you.

Don't Ieave me here.

I must do it.

You are going away

to a distant isIand with
that girI.

I saw her in your apartment.

You are confused.

You have a reIationship
with her, don't you?

If she is not your girI,
let me come with you.

Go back to Iba.

It's the best thing you can do.

If I couId go back to him,

I wouId not have Ieft him.

Don't you understand it?

I Ieft him because I cannot
Iive without you.

You have Iet me down.

You aIways wanted O-Sei.
I am sure of it.

Take aII the money.

Do whatever you want with it.

I don't want anything
anymore.

The train Ieaves within one hour.

Why you do not go
back to work?

I can ask a favor of somebody.

Make a fresh start.

Someday you will find
the right man.

Excuse me.

Mr. Iba was here.

He Ieft his card.

He said that it was
very important

and that he will come by again.

Thanks.

I must see you soon.

PIease, caII me.

The director of
the FIoraI review, pIease.

This is Tomioka.

I wanted to thank you
for using my articIe.

I am Ieaving shortIy for Yaku.
Something sudden, but I must go.

Iba was here.

When?

How did he find us?

He probabIy saw my name
in the magazine articIe.

I must Ieave soon.

Take me with you.
Just for a month or two.

Then I will Ieave the isIand.

PIease.
OnIy a month or two.

After that I will not
bother you again.

Excuse me.

What time does the
boat Ieave?

The boat can't Ieave tiII the
storm has finished.

- Let me know, pIease.
- Yes.

We have come a Iong way,

and still have
a day of more traveIing.

We'll stay there for years.

I couIdn't have
done it on my own.

Do you want to go back?

Of course not.

You know, Iife will
be difficuIt there.

But I wouId have you.

I cannot Iive without you.

That is my probIem.

It is your fauIt entireIy.

It'll be better for you
with me on that isIand.

If I can't Iive with you,
I will wait for you my whoIe Iife.

That is a woman.

I will stick to you
untiI you throw me.

After that, who knows?

CouId I give you up?

The boat will not Ieave for
at Ieast two days.

- Two days?
- Yes.

Did you teII the magazine
you were going to Yaku?

Yes.

Think that they will
come for you?

I don't think so.

Maybe they will denounce us.

Madame, do you want to bathe?

Yes, you are my madame.

What's the matter?

I'm coId.

Perhaps you have caught fIu.

I am shaking.

But you do not have a fever.

Go to bed.

Then, you will Ieave me here.

Good morning.

Is your wife any better?

Thanks.

The boat Ieaves at ten.

Good.

How are you?

You Iook better.

I will take the next boat.
Don't worry.

Rest well

and get yourseIf better.

You are not going
away without me?

Don't be an idiot.
How couId I Ieave without you?

Now we couId be
on the high seas.

How it was the sea?

Good.

Will we go tomorrow?

We don't have a doctor in Yaku.

And they say that
it rains aImost every day.

What a pIace!

I'm worried. The voyage is hard.

If I can not make the trip,

You will have to Ieave me behind.

I don't want to be a burden.

You will be better off here.

You will be weII taken care of
and I will return for you.

When you are back
on your feet.

Your wife shouId not traveI,
and we need to take an X-ray.

I will come if it's necessary.

Thank you, doctor.

Well, then do what
you have to.

Make sure she rests well.

Thank you very much.

An injection every four hours.

Get well soon.

- Thank you very much.
- It was nothing.

It's ready.

Thanks.

It rains aImost every day.

Sometimes it rains
a whoIe month.

A whoIe month of rains!

You will get used to it.

This woman will be in charge
of the tasks of the house.

Thank you very much.

You want syrup for the cough?

Another injection?

To ease your pain.

At Ieast, you will be
here when I die.

You will not die.

Don't taIk rubbish.

I got what I wanted didn't I?

When you get better,
return to Tokyo.

There's nothing for you
to do here.

This it is not a good
pIace for you.

I must stay for weeks

in these mountains.

- Your food.
- Thanks.

It's a beautifuI day.

It is rare to have this weather.

Everything appears merry
and radiant.

How do you feeI?

Much better.

It has stopped raining.

I have to go now.

Look after yourseIf, get weII.

I cannot come with you?

Don't be siIIy.

You are gIad to be
Ieaving me.

Yes. There are women
everywhere!

You are right.

It doesn't matter to you,
a woman is a woman.

You are very taIkative.

You must be getting better.
It's good.

There are women everywhere.

That's a mean thing to say.

If you do not Iike it,
recover quickIy,

and conquer aII the men

with your charms.

You are incorrigibIe.

I knew that you had
a sharpened tongue.

OnIy certain women will
put up with it.

OnIy certain women?

I don't know who you mean.

Excuse me.

You must inform the doctor

of her condition, every day.

The doctor of Kagoshima?

It will stop sometimes?

Mr. Tomioka!

Your wife!

Yukiko!

When did she get so bad?

I do not know.

There was nobody here?

Thanks.
PIease, leave us aIone.

My sympathy is with you.

Yukiko!

The Iife of the fIower is very short.

That's why it shouId be
appreciated immediateIy.
