A guy cheating on his wife is a fool, I used to think.

But sometimes you are compelled by circumstances.

Before Sunrise.

Do you know?

We are not men already.

We have turned into husbands, fathers, uncles.

Society just sees us as "old dudes".

We don't amount to "men".

What's with you now?

For example look here that fine woman.

But she's here in the middle of the night...

it's unforgivable.

If I was younger I would have seduced her in no time.

She wouldn't stand a chance.

Where did that self-confidence come from?

I'm not half that man anymore

I'll be content with just a look at a distance

I'll give her 5 for her breast, 3 for her buttocks, 9 for her legs.

Assessing the goods keeps me busy enough.

A "man" wouldn't bargain for less than love making.

What has our life become?...

The fling of a throbbing heart isn't there anymore.

"Woman with a small butt."

"Look over here, Honey!"

"What is it, what do you want?"

So she's from your company.

She arrived last week

we haven't even had a chance to talk.

Why did she tag along?

There are 3 things I hate in this world.

Avocado... mayonnaise

and drunk broads.

Oh, wait.

It's your treat.

Please a 30 min extension.

No, no, no way, I want go home.

No you're not going home, let's sing.

This way?

I get it.

For you we are not men.

We're harmless cattle.

"Just old dudes."

We're harmless.

This way?

Ah, gross.

It's gross.

Please.

What's this report?!

Satomura.

How many spelling mistakes!?

You write "flies" instead of "flaws".

How did you turn "annual meeting" into "anal meeting"?

Watabe.

Yes sir.

You have to check thoroughly.

My bad

I need to talk to you, would you mind meeting after work? Akiya Nakanishi.

Sorry I kept you waiting.

Please come with me.

Exactly... where are you taking me?

Since I caused you trouble yesterday

I'd like to make it up to you.

"Make it up" to me?

Can't be...

Welcome, please this way.

Please, sir let me take your measurements first.

Hold out your hands.

This is for your jacket I soiled yesterday.

Please keep still.

For my jacket?

I trashed it.

After a washing it shrunk.

Shrunk... you washed it yourself?

Why not the dry cleaner?

They would think a man was at my place.

The dry cleaner.

So what?

I can't, it's really upsetting.

Therefore this gives me

an opportunity to make up for my extravagance.

It's will be a very nice jacket, right?

Of course.

You're making a fool of me.

Mr. Watabe.

What displeased you?

None of your business.

What kind of manners are these.

You apologize with a new jacket?

You're kidding me.

You think money can solve everything.

You're gravely mistaken.

What can I do then?

I tried hard to think about it.

Do you mean business?

I always mean business.

You really have no idea?

Precisely why I'm asking you?

"I'm sorry!" why didn't you start with an apology?

When you put a person in trouble, you apologize.

How much simpler can it get?

But if I simply apologize

it's not hard enough on me.

Ah, no.

Forgive my rudeness.

How do we proceed from here?

"How we proceed"?

There's not much we can do here.

Inviting you was my first impulse.

Ah, I see.

Really.

Do you have hobbies?

I started surfing about 3 years back.

It's great.

It simply started when a friend invited me.

Really.

Surfing, wow, makes you look neat

I'm interested too, I thought I'd give it a shot.

Surely you must be mocking me.

You're merely mirroring my speech, right?

I assure you I am not.

Everyone says that "I'd like to give it a shot".

But when invited they recoil

I'm not like that, I really want to try.

So let's go surfing then?

I'm actually inviting you, it's not a joke.

Surely I'll go, I want to.

Really?

Yes, let's go.

Are you feeling obliged?

Why would I feel obliged?

I'll go... surfing

I had not been so entertained in a long while.

Let's do it again anytime, Akiya Nakanishi.

It was fun for me too.

Good evening.

What did you eat today?

Izakaya as usual

yakitori... fried chicken.

You'd like side dishes?

Rather veggies.

How about a spring salad?

Just great.

Yumiko, what's that?

A Santa puppet

Santa Puppet?

Aren't they cute.

The mothers at the kindergarten

said they want one too.

But we're still in September.

It will be there in a blink

Christmas is great fun, right, Sonomi?

Socializing after work is a drag, right?

Alright Sonomi, bedtime.

Hey? The little rabbit needs to sleep?

Good night.

Goodbye-nighty-night.

At what point is it considered cheating.

When a man spends more time with another woman.

But the wife will notice then.

They say "increase profits", how are we supposed to do?

If we're not backed up by our management.

Even married men and women still want to seduce.

Just a kiss, can't harm.

Sex is out of the picture, right?

Right? Same for you.

What do you think?

If your husband cheated, you divorce him immediately?

I kill him.

So you would judge harshly any man looking at another woman?

Not at all.

If a man is devoted to his family

I would forgive him just going on a diner date.

It's in contradiction with your previous opinion.

Yes, I have readjusted it a little.

Since I met a person.

Definitely our management is a bunch of idiots.

Hey, Mr.. Watabe.

Why are you drinking my tea?

Sorry I'll get you another one

it's OK.

Chief.

If you don't mind, I didn't touch it.

Ah really.

Sorry.

Ouch... hot.

Watabe

I'm sorry.

It was so hot

I'm scalded now.

This functions at a different pace...

I get it.

Please insert my suggestions.

Correct this please.

This Sunday, I'm going to Shiona beach.

Would you join me?

Or do you chicken out?

Sure I'll go, don't you chicken out.

Today I'm golfing with the newbies.

They we'll be drinking in Shibuya or Shinjuku, I could be late.

You told me already...

Ah really.

Check in your back pocket.

The left one

I'll be back for dinner.

Papa, have a good day.

Thank you.

Have a good day.

"The city before sunrise."

Is it alright with such heavy rain?

How about we cancel?

Are you chicken-ing out?

Why would you figure me as a coward.

No need to force your nature.

You're quite the tough girl.

You said something?

Nothing at all.

It won't stop.

Will it.

Getting heavier by the minute.

By this weather you get good surfs

I see surfers' cars returning.

All the more sea space for us.

What's it gon' be... chicKKin?

We should have been more persistent.

No need to overdo it, I'm just a beginner.

That right.

Sure, you have to take good care of me

that's a lie, right?

You were concerned that I'd surf on a rough sea.

You're so nice.

Not at all.

So beautiful.

How long has it been since I looked at a rainbow.

About your jacket

I'm really sorry, excuse me

I'm so grateful your were with me that day.

Why would you suddenly bring this up.

Well, no need to explain

I'm sorry.

These are convenient words.

Just uttering them, one can get away with most anything.

In a way... it's true.

That's why I don't like it, blabbering it away is too easy.

Always such serious talk, I'm unattractive.

Next year in April if you come.

Precisely on the 31st of March.

When that day comes, I'll tell you my feelings.

Would that be your birthday?

It's not such frivolous, pleasant event.

It's nothing... I ended up talking weird...

please forget what I said.

Would you be free a little longer?

As long as we're here, could we go for a drink.

Alright.

The Butterfly's Nest.

Sorry I kept you waiting.

Took me some time to find a parking spot and change clothes

I started without you.

Oh, you're an acquaintance of Akiya's?!

Long time no see.

- How are you? - I'm fine.

A beer too please.

My niece is always so good to me.

Your niece?

Her mother is my elder sister

I have no kids of my own.

So I fed her as a kid, changed her diapers.

How about that beer?

Welcome... hey so soon today?!

The day wasn't so busy..

So, that's a family bar... a nice one at that.

Do we have a rain check?

I'd hate you think I chickened out.

You mean surfing.

Sure I'll invite you another day.

Would you mind talking about your family?

Sure, why is that?

To no purpose, still it would be good

I'm afraid it's a boring talk.

A typical housewife, a 4 years old daughter.

Not that family but your parents.

Even more boring.

My father a salary-man, my mother a house-wife.

A sister who married a government clerk.

So they're all happy?

A regular brand of happiness.

Where have you been brought up?

Born from a common family, I'll make a common family.

How I envy you.

Sorry I kept you so late.

Incredible... You really are a princess.

It's all show, it's empty inside

I leave alone in a Tokyo condominium.

My father has a house near his job, so this place is mostly vacant.

It's a loss.

Not at all.

Good night.

Dad?

You have something to do here?

I had to pick up some documents.

You?

You're with someone?

Yes, he's a co-worker.

We had a drink nearby.

It was getting late so he drove me here

I'm Mr. Watabe, good evening

I'm Akiya's father.

Thank you for taking care of my daughter

I thought we could offer him a tea to thank him.

If that's alright with you.

Of course... please take your time.

Come on in.

The fact is...

What are we doing exactly?

It's possible my father noticed you're married.

But he's a discreet person.

What I do, who comes here..

Someone's been killed here.

We can't sell it because of that.

No one lives here we'd like to get rid of it.

It's a fix.

She was lying here, with a knife in her heart

she was killed.

A young lady, as seen on TV dramas.

[Singing: Deep Purple - Child in Time]

You know that murderer

I need to go.

No way.

You're drunk.

No way, no way.

Please rest.

You too?

I need to go back.

Don't go and leave me alone here.

Don't leave me alone in such a place.

Don't leave me.

Not... alone... here.

Switch off the light.

Oh, that's right.

Forgive me.

Yumiko - 23:40 Yumiko. - 00:17 Yumiko - 01:18

I'm back.

What a beautiful weather

I thought what a pity to stay inside.

Can you hold this?

Put it in here.

Ah, the fact is..

You drank late and missed the last train?

We went bar hopping with the guys, I fell asleep in the train back

I woke up at the end station, a taxi would have been too expensive

I had to sleep in a capsule hotel.

It's OK to behave as a young guy

but you could have called

I'm so sorry.

But capsule hotels are incredible.

Breakfast is ready, come.

What Sonomi?

She dislikes carrots.

You have to eat your carrots.

Good appetite

I'll be fine.

It was a one time thing.

Be cheerful.

Good morning

and so... to resume our conversation.

Sorry I'm 5 minutes late

I don't mind.

It's so beautiful.

What would you eat?

A one time cheating

when it looks like it's gonna last.

Is a love affair.

In Tanzawa, there's a place called Odawadani

the tempura fries they cook there is exquisite.

A guy cheating on his wife is a fool, I used to think.

When one loves his wife and kid.

He should feel contented

I still think so

I judge myself a fool.

Seeking only pleasure.

Destroying the simple happiness I was holding

I'm a major fool.

But I made one big mistake.

Cheating is not only a quest for pleasure.

Maybe it was so at the start.

What started as a mere fling, turns into a intense flame.

This is hell.

A hell of sweetness.

Even if one wants to chicken out.

The demon inside won't allow it.

When I took you to the tailor you got angry, right?

That sent my thoughts spinning, "what kind of man is he?"

When I was a student, there was that guy I liked

but I couldn't tell him

I thought I'd be fine if I could go out with him now and then.

But as I was seeing more of him, my love was growing too

and just when he was about to like me too

another guy came along that I liked.

It's sad, but it's how love works.

Ain't that right?

We should make a decision for the color of the frame.

Could you see it in team?

Yumiko calling.

Hello?

Sonomi...

Coming back home she had a fever

I don't think it's serious

but... do you think you'll be late?

Sure, I'll be right there.

It's so kind of you.

See you.

[Nomi ni iku ka?]

[Dame]

My daughter has a fever

I have to go back.

We can't meet tonight.

Sorry.

Good evening.

Are you alright?

When you get better you wanna go some place?

To the playground

I get it, it's decided, we'll go.

[Yubikiri genman...] Cross my heart...

Good night then

I'm sorry for today.

Tomorrow...

You're sleeping already?

How is Sonomi?

Her temperature seems lower.

She's sound asleep

I'm relieved.

Sorry I interrupted your job socialization.

No, it's alright.

Really... I want to apologize.

Told you it's alright.

We go with this project, it's decided.

Thank you.

And... please call them right away.

[Nakanishi: day off]

Good morning.

Abiding by the client's pressing request

a priority is given to resilience.

Using sunlight to the utmost

using a light duct system

requiring almost no maintenance

energy consumption reduced to a third.

This new concept can be called an "urban oasis"

I'm worried, I have no news.

What's your opinion?

Watabe, what do you think?

Satomura's project.

What can I say about Satomura's project.

You should listen.

Mr. Watabe, this document..

Sorry no time now.

Akiya.

Shut up... you.

WTF?!

You're alive.

What's going on... say something.

There's nothing to say, I couldn't reach you, I was worried.

You didn't receive anything, your battery.

Aren't you supposed to be at the office?

You almost drank it all.

Yes, I drank quite a lot.

About yesterday.

You're still upset?

That explains...

Surely not, you think I'm an airhead?

Your daughter is sick, you cancel a date, it's normal.

You couldn't like a woman who wouldn't accept this.

You assume I'm a sensitive and noble soul

or you'd rather I display some distress?

Still, you were so worried you came to me.

It's make me happy.

Let's talk it over.

What?

What happened here.

We can't call it inconsequential.

You sure your ready to hear it?

Let us hear about it all.

You're sure?

What do you do?

Chicken out?

She was my father's secretary.

Reiko Honjo.

Stabbed in the heart.

She died instantly.

They searched the whole place for fingerprints.

Not one clue to the murderer

I was the one who discovered her

I was listening to music upstairs

I came down to drink water.

There, her body was

I was so shocked I fainted

I woke up on my bed.

The inquiry closed on a burglary and murder

they never found the culprit.

That was 15 years ago.

Soon there will be prescription [deadline

[when they can't prosecute a culprit anymore]

Next year on the 31st of March.

That's it.

We presented the "Murder at the Beach House".

Tell me..

Did you know?

God really...

Is keeping an eye on us, I heard.

She wasn't just a secretary

she was his lover in addition

she's the reason why

my mother comet suicide.

That's why

God sent her that punishment.

Don't you think?

For me too..

There's a punishment waiting.

Are you losing your mind?

She's lonely.

She was born in a difficult family

and grew up lonely

I hardly give her any time

at least I can be there on Christmas Eve

to be by her side.

Wait there.

You mean you'd treat her to a luxury hotel?

Wake up now.

Your family is too precious for this.

That's why I'm asking you.

Help me out here.

We are not virtuous and naive anymore.

We have discarded these to become free

I'm going to tell you how to become a man again.

The woman of your life you describe

does not exist in this world.

You simply change from a woman to another and repeat your mistakes.

You thought "Ah, she's the one, she's unique!" and you married Yumiko

I don't care about your present circumstances, just forget about it.

You're playing with fire and you'll get burned.

You're unable to deliver the blow.

The blow?

To Yumiko...

To divorce her.

If you can't deliver the blow.

To meet your lover for Christmas

is a thoughtless act you can't afford

I get it

I'm sorry I burdened you with this.

Abandon your hopes.

Nope

I'm not asking you that.

Now wait a minute

I get it.

But never get caught or you'll fall in hell.

Even if you were caught you stick by your lie.

You're capable

of doing this, right?

I can.

Alright.

Then you'll be the actor and I'll be your director.

Ready?!

Action.

Hello, Development department.

Ah, thank you.

Watabe, your wife.

Sorry about that.

Mr. Shintani called here.

He couldn't reach you on your cell phone.

Do you know Professor Yamaoka?

That person, last night suddenly...

Merry Christmas.

Your present.

Thanks papa.

Another one.

A doggy.

So cute.

Ah, such a bad luck, a funeral wake on such an evening.

What time's the Shinkansen?

Just after 8, my timing is good.

From Shin-Osaka I'll get a cab

I don't know at what time I'll be back tomorrow

I took a day off.

It's gorgeous.

Thank you darling.

Tough luck, well then...

Luckily I had food delivered.

OK Sonomi could store away Doggy?

No, we eat together.

Maybe we make an exception tonight.

He seems to like you.

Alright then tonight is an exception.

This smells delicious.

Broccoli and...

Really, a funeral wake on Christmas Eve.

But I was so indebted to Professor Yamaoka.

Me and Shintani, our marks we so bad.

He helped us so of to not fail a degree.

Ever since graduation we had kept in touch.

Good appetite.

"Joy to the World" [Christmas song]

Merry Christmas.

It's shaking.

You didn't feel the earthquake?

You're very sensitive.

Women are sensitive to the smallest shake.

It's still shaking.

Sonomi you with more?

No, I'll eat tomorrow with papa.

Alright then, we're finished with it.

Eat up.

If you ever thought there's no turning back.

You must run away from me right away.

This love...

How long is it gonna last?

Thank you for yesterday

I had great fun

I'll be on a leave from tomorrow to spend

New Year in Vancouver with friends.

We won't meet till then so, Happy New Year to you.

OK shake the bell.

Dear, what did you wish for?

That my family be happy.

Bar - The Butterfly's Nest.

What's up with Akiya, she's late.

No, she's not supposed to come

I see...

Lover's fight?

Nothing like that.

So you decided to come on your own?

Yes

I'm glad you did.

Thank you.

You can talk.

There's something you want to ask me.

You can ask anything

especially regarding love relationship.

So many things...

Are painful lately

with Akiya.

You had a shock, right?

So many things cannot be put into words.

It seems she discovered the body.

Yes.

She was found unconscious by the side of the body

and that day I found her while visiting.

They still haven't found the culprit.

Reiko's soul cannot rest in peace.

Reiko was punished by God.

What?

Sorry.

Akiya said so?

Did you know Reiko?

No way... Akiya has such bad jokes.

What would that mean?

You say that as if you were suspecting her.

She's testing you.

She lets you believe she's the culprit

like... "Would you still love me even...?"

Welcome.

It's you

I'm Watabe... thanks for the other day.

Again, again, congratulations.

Thank you.

The traditional New Year's gifts.

Chief, chief, a souvenir from Paris.

Really.

The best chocolates in Paris.

There's more for you wait.

Congrats.

Thank you very much.

Keep up the good job.

Thank you very much.

Congrats... keep up.

Ayumi... congratulations.

Thank you so much.

Mr. Watabe a gift from Paris.

Please offer it to your daughter.

Thanks so much.

Miss Nakanishi, a gift.

Really I shouldn't accept.

Sure you can, there's for everyone

I'm happy, I wanted to try these

I'm glad you like them.

They're famous.

Thank you very much.

Happy New Year

I'm sure it will be a wonderful year for you.

Don't lose your head.

The family is the family

the lover is the lover.

Miss Nakanishi I found an excellent restaurant for lunch.

What kind of restaurant is it?

Great, precisely what I wanted to eat.

Really?! Let me invite you.

To repay you for the over time you did for me.

Let's go.

It's close.

Satomura seems to have a crush on Nakanishi

I'm so envious.

How was it in Vancouver?

It was fun.

Food is great, the city is amazing.

How about you?

The usual New Year time.

With the family all day?

Yep.

A present for you.

Thanks a lot.

It's great, I couldn't go to the temple this year.

Ah yes..

I'll go snowboarding February 14.

Two days in Ichigoyuzawa

February 14?

Yes... Valentine day is a Saturday.

Who do you go with?

Miss Taguchi, and others from the company.

See, this way I don't compel you to spend it with me.

It would put you in a tight spot, like at Christmas.

You said it was difficult

as if it was your fault.

It's an occasion where important things are said.

So Satomura is tagging along?

Would you be a little jealous?

Satomura is just a love buddy.

"Love buddy"?!

While you are my lover.

You and me don't even have any commitment.

You come freely to my place as you wish, while I have no freedom.

Sorry, I just wanted to tease you a bit.

If you felt...

That this relationship has become a burden.

What would I do then?

I'm the one who has to make the decisions?

That.. really..

"I'm the one who has to make the decisions?"

Say..

Is it alright if I visit my family in Niigata next month?

Sure, when?

February 14.

As you know my mother has a bad hip.

She's to undergo surgery.

She's concerned about leaving Dad alone home.

Also she'd like to see Sonomi

I see.

Yes, right, so maybe I should go too?

Really?

I haven't met your father in a while.

Ah, this will rejoice them.

Ah... and

it's gonna an occasion for your present

Valentine.

What... you lost the interest?

I'll have a bath [Woman's signal]

Matsudai Station - Tokamachi Station.

This way.

So much snow.

Tonight let us meet at "Nighters' Grande"

I'll be wearing a blue & red jacket and sunglasses.

What do you mean? Where are you?

Anyway I'll go meet you.

Without fail

I'll go to meet you.

You're heavy.

Daddy's nose.

You finished?

Mommy's nose.

It's so cute.

Is that Daddy?

It's great.

Rice cakes are toasted, let's go.

Yumiko

I'd like to go for a drive.

The snow made you want to enjoy the landscape?

I wanna go with Daddy.

You could catch a cold.

Next time I'll take you along.

Let's go eat the rice cake.

Rice cake, it's rice cake time.

Say "cheeezu".

Thanks a lot.

You can't be there.

Go down the slope over the lift.

You'll see a hollow

I'm there in the a grove.

Hello.

Idiot

I can't be out there waiting.

Why did you suddenly decide to come?

For you..

You made me realize I'm not free for you

I get it now

I wanted to see you

I'm relieved I met you.

Thank you

I've got to get back.

You can't get back.

You'll leave me alone in that desolate place.

What does that mean?

I turned down the snowboard weekend.

So, what are you doing here?

When I read your mail

I took the Shinkansen

I thought if you knew I was alone on Valentine

I would spoil it for you again.

You went to such extremes for Christmas.

To this purpose...

I could say home confined for a coupl'a days.

It doesn't matter

I've been confined before for longer times.

"Longer times"?!

Would it be that...

New Year in Vancouver was a lie too?

I guessed right.

It seems your company focuses on electricity.

The changes that light imposes on spaces.

Light is at the core off dreams, more than anything...

it's pure

I'm so sorry

I'm a married man

but our love...

My daughter is a child no longer.

She can make her own decisions

I totally trust her.

Up till now..

She went through so much.

What happened at our home 15 years ago...

Is not the least of it.

The wound is deep in our heart.

All of it...

As a result of my failure.

Your failure?

From here on...

How do you figure your relationship with Akiya?

Is it just a one time fling?

Absolutely not.

Whatever road you chose.

The prompter the conclusion

the lighter the pain you'll inflict.

As the father of that woman

this is the only thing I have to say.

You can't sleep?

You pour me one too?

Thanks.

You look tired lately.

You're... well busy at work, right?

Don't drive yourself to exhaustion.

It's one of your tendencies

I'm seriously..

Contemplating

a future with her

I plan to open my heart to Yumiko.

Wait a little, cool off

I want us to enjoy a simple happiness.

To be with that person one loves most, that...

Kind of simple happiness.

Things can't keep going like this.

And I want to offer her this happiness

if it has to be at the cost of my sacrifice.

You're vain and deluded.

What you'll offer right now

is the painful loss of your family

and no more

and what becomes of your family in this delusion?

Is there room for Sonomi-chan.

You're so disconnected with reality

it's not something you achieve so easily.

As soon as Yumiko hears about Akiya

she will file for divorce.

You fool... it will never come to that.

Give you an angle about women

they'll spend all their energy preserving their present life

even when it gets from bad to worse

whatever the price of their husband's happiness

they will endure some amount of misery.

If you do that everyone will be unhappy.

Are you ready for that outcome too?

You'd believe your own words

go ahead and jeopardize

everyone's happiness?... You ready for that?

Could we meet now?

Say, we have to get ready soon.

Time to go back.

What if you and me...

got married.

To make it all regular

I know it could take time, but until then...

Please wait for me.

Darling

you're so intense.

First I'll do the right thing toward my family

as a man

as a father.

It's not like that.

You don't need to speak with such intensity.

Divorce is out of the question, you want me to say it for you.

If I did, it would all be easier for you.

Not at all.

Do you know that...

When a woman commits adultery

she understands

however intense their love

she can't hope

that she'll be the most important person in his life

it will never happen

because what she offers

cannot be up to par with

the woman with whom he made a family

the ties created by a child in common.

She'll never amount to that.

So she always dampens her ardor.

This is why I beg you

not to pronounce these words so easily

I have no choice.

Now that I love you

I have to do it

I want to be with you like this

my decision is irrevocable.

You'd do it!?

You'd really do it?!

'Course I will

I can't believe it

I thought this kind of dream

never comes true

I would absolutely

bear anything

to be with you

to live with you, I'd endure anything.

But wait a little more

before opening your heart to your wife.

Wait until March, 31st

I can't make any decision before.

On that day be with me until morning.

Can you promise?

I understand

I promise

I hold you to it.

What's going on?

Keep March, 14, open for me, OK?

It's White Day, right?

It falls on a Saturday.

We have fun in Yokohama, stay at the hotel

I booked already.

It's fine I don't need any present.

Your presence will be the present

I'm truly happy

I don't have to worry about your family anymore.

You're mine now.

Your heart elected me.

At the risk of losing it all

you have chosen to live with me.

What is it?

A present

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Don't forget

don't ever forget.

You're beautiful.

It's Shintani..

He's in trouble

of course it's job related

I'll be here all night till morning

I'm sorry.

Don't forget to lock the door.

Bread is fine with you too?

Sonomi finally can eat carrots.

Today I took the bread at a famous bakery

I'm sorry for the short notice, tonight I'm not coming back.

You job?

I have to go...

I understand, for one night, I'll prepare your things.

Say, the Tanakas bought a puppy for their daughter.

Sonomi said she'd want one too.

She doesn't have a brother or a sister yet.

It would be great for her to take care of it.

What do you say, dear?

Sure if you're OK with it.

Isn't it great Sonomi!?

Papa, thank you.

Ah, butter.

You'll take good care of it.

You can't abandon it ever

can't abandon it.

You can't.

Any plans for tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Why?

There's something I want to tell you about.

You can't say it now?

Something I can't speak about in the doorway.

Alright.

Tomorrow..

There's no special plan.

Alright then, I'm on my way.

Goodbye.

Miss Nakanishi

has done a good job for 8 months.

Miss Nakanishi

a little word.

You all, I know it was short, but I'm so grateful

you've all been so kind, I have only fond memories.

The experience I gathered here will be useful everywhere.

To all of you, thank you very much.

Say...

This room.

It always stays as it was, whatever

as if frozen on the snapshot of the murder.

What time is it?

11:15

What time is it now?

What time?

What time?

Now... what time is it?

The 2 leading actors should come out.

Good evening Father and Aunt.

This is Mr. Watabe.

Both of you met him

today he came for our session.

Mr. Watabe forgive me, but please leave.

Today it is a private conversation between the 3 of us.

Certainly not

I'll speak only in his presence.

To you both

I'll never say a word, ever.

You want to know, right?

That day 15 years ago.

What really happened here.

You saw her body... you fainted.

You didn't see anything else.

You know nothing

I sure do

I walked upstairs on my own.

Do not mess up with my memory

I wanted to die

to exist no more.

This is why that day

I swallowed those pills in my room.

My mother's drugs I had brought from her apartment.

But it didn't work.

Listen

you saw the body

you fainted.

You were carried to this room.

That's right... Akiya, you saw the body

you saw the body

you fainted.

Why did you do that?

You truly believe it

that I...

Stabbed Reiko?!

Akiya-chan.

This is Reiko's testament.

What a dreadful thing to do.

Stabbing her own heart.

Reiko was suffering, she was in agony.

So she chose the most painful death.

She, herself...

stabbed her heart.

Reiko comet suicide.

In this way

she made sure

to leave an indelible mark in your heart.

A sad person

she was being used.

No

it's not true.

It's not true

I loved Miss Honjo too.

Don't say that so lightly.

Your adultery

to hide it from Mother

you used Reiko as a dummy mistress.

Your adultery.

These 2 had a long relationship

even when mother was alive.

Why didn't you tell about the suicide before?

Why?

To torture you.

To let you suffer those 15 years.

For the sake of your adultery.

You made your own daughter the murderer.

Is there a better torture?

Is there a better punishment?

The prescription...

Of the murder.

Tell me, Daddy.

Both Reiko and Mom...

Were kind persons.

Instead of stabbing your heart

they stabbed themselves.

Surely...

They loved you

although they loved you.

Akiya

I have no regrets whatsoever.

Ever since I was with him

when I realized how much he needed me to live.

Whatever happened...

I would accept it.

You can bear grudge on me

forever if you wish.

Goodbye

I'll never need..

Either of you ever again.

You probably understand

that I used you.

It would have been too hard

to be on my own, today

I needed anyone by my side today.

Besides

I needed to know

how adultery feels.

Still, you're relieved, right?

Your being a mere tool

I dreaded you'd really divorce.

You didn't put your family into trouble.

You have a serious

pondering personality.

Akiya.

You were so sincerely worried

struggling in your heart.

You are that kind of

regular

good guy

I want to

start a brand new life

so I don't need you

I don't need you anymore

so please go back... to your family.

If you return now you can still patch it up.

Ah, you're back.

Change of plans, it was just a return trip.

You hungry?

No.

Sorry I woke you up.

Good night.

Isn't it cute?...

"The mothers at the kindergarten"

"said they want one too."

"It's hard on you."

"Luckily I had food delivered."

This is...

For my pitiful affair...

God's punishment.

Darling.

Didn't you want to talk to me today?

No

that has been... solved.

What was solved

I don't think you've solved anything.

In both our hearts

there's an issue that will never be solved.

Have a good day.

Come on... don't get late.

There is no end... to that hell.

Until this life comes to term

this hell will keep on burning.

We laughed a lot.

Our hearts beat a lot.

We pondered a lot.

Thank you.

Mr. Watabe
