What's his name?

Taro, if I remember correctly.

Just one name?

We call him Taro,
or the "blue-tent philosopher.”

Philosopher?

He always read
difficult books.

They'll be here
in five minutes.

"Philosopher," they call him.
We'd better keep asking.

He's dead?

Poor devil managed to survive
the scorching summer.

He was fine two days ago.

Did you get
your unemployment money?

I thought he'd last longer.
It's quite sad.

There wasn't much for him
to live for anyway, was there?

Let's have a drink.

To Taro.

Good man.

Taro asked me a favor.

He said he could trust me.

Apparently, many years ago...

he hid something
in a house in Noto.

A treasure, right?

He told you?

He was raving about it.

Is that right?

Is he okay?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Did you get
your severance check?

No, I didn't.
The president disappeared.

You have a family, though?

A mortgage?

I did, but we had to sell the house.
For half its value.

Looking for a job
isn't easy

after being laid off,
especially at your age.

I don't mind
getting a lower salary.

I really need the job.

Thanks for coming.
We'll be in touch.

-Good luck.
-Thank you.

Hello?

Hello? It's me.

Did you get
your unemployment money?

Can you wire it right away?

I've got a lot of bills
to pay this month.

Yes, sure.
How is Kyohei?

He's fine.
Did you find a new job?

No luck yet.
I had three interviews last week.

Get one before
your insurance runs out.

Otherwise we'll never get
back to Tokyo.

I know.
I'll do my best.

What a joke. When have you
ever done your best?

I'm sorry.

Don't grovel.
Act like a man.

Make sure
you wire the money.

Look, I...

Head towards the river,

and just before the inlet,
you'll see a red bridge.

There's a house
right next to it.

It's covered
with trumpet flowers.

They're lovely,
you'll see them easily.

There's a window upstairs,
overlooking the red bridge.

On the other side, the Sea of Japan
and the Tateyama Mountain Range.

You hid it in there?

I didn't hide it.
I just forgot to take it with me.

Look, he got my gear wet!

Poor fishermen, they have
a schedule and a quota to meet.

I stole a gold Buddhist statue
from a Kyoto temple.

I hid it in a pot.

Why were you down there?

It was just after the war.

My whole family had died
in the air raids.

I was in shock.

I roamed around,
stealing to get by.

Then I hightailed it
out of Kyoto.

I went down to the end
of the Noto Peninsula.

I stayed in that house
for a month.

You never went back for it?

One thing led to another
and I never went back.

I can't stay in one place
for too long.

I didn't think
the house would survive.

But a friend was down there
five years ago, and he said he saw it.

It sounds like something
from a novel.

Why don't you go claim it
in my place?

You can keep it.

It'll easily sell
for over a million yen.

All |I want is
to know how it was.

Please do it for me.

Good.
We've got a deal.

WARM WATER
UNDER A RED BRIDGE

Excuse me,
is there a red bridge around here?

Go down that way,
you'll see it over the river.

I see. Thank you.

Excuse me.
Perhaps you can help me.

Excuse me?

I'm looking
for a red bridge near here.

This way?
Thank you very much.

The red bridge!

Taro...

It's still here!

I'm going shopping.

Wait!
You haven't paid for that.

The boxed lunch.

I don't want it.

Excuse me.

SUISEN STEAMED BUNS

Anyone here?

Anybody home?

Sorry.
I tried the bell--

May I help you?

Grandma.
You really shouldn't smoke in here.

It's too dangerous.

I think this is yours.

I found it at the supermarket,
but you drove off.

I saw the car outside,
so I thought maybe you lived here.

She gave me this fortune,
"Luck cometh!"

Thank you.

Would you like some cheese?

Come on up.

The upstairs windows.

One of them
overlooks the red bridge.

From the other side
of the house, you can see

the Tateyama Mountain Range
across the Sea of Japan.

I'm from Tokyo.

I'm on vacation.

Kind of a late
summer vacation.

They're utensils for making
Japanese cakes.

You would've seen
more downstairs.

The shop was
quite prosperous.

Until Grandma became senile.

A few kind tea masters
still order from us.

Somehow we get by.

European peppered cheese.

This is the cheese.
The one you saw.

They mix cream and pepper
with goat milk,

then add some pine nuts
and paprika.

I think these little crimson spots
are red peppers.

Do you do that all the time?

I think it would go
very well with ice.

You saw me steal the cheese.

Then you saw
the puddle of water.

Wait--

You must never tell anyone...

about the water.

It's so embarrassing.

The water?

It's cold, hot,
and it feels so good.

The water!

It's welling up.

The water!

The water?

Grandma is downstairs.

I'm so ashamed.

No, no!

Forgive me.

It's never felt so good.

Here it comes.

I can't hold it anymore.

EXCELLENT LUCK

They'll soon dry out.
It's not like it's urine.

Honestly, I'd never
released as much before.

A first for me too.

I bet it was a shock.

It was so unexpected.

And at the supermarket?
Same thing?

Yes.

It wells up inside me.

Until I become full.

I can feel it.

All the way up to here.

When you fill up like that,
do you have to steal?

Yes, I can't stop myself.
I have to do something bad.

All of these?

You stole all this?

There's more.

But I've eaten all the cheese.

Does this thing about me...

disgust you?

Not at all.

Really?

How can I put it?

I'm just surprised,
I suppose.

That's good.

But still,
I'm a perfect stranger.

What if I were a crook?

I know you're not.

How can you be so sure?

Grandma never gives
bad people her fortunes.

You just said she was senile.

She still thinks the local shrine
is paying her to write them.

She writes
until she's exhausted.

She's amazingly accurate.

Mine said,
"Luck cometh."

I've been unlucky for ages,

but this month,
I got "good luck is coming."

Your pants are dry.

I got another one.

It's got some pull.

He's scaring the fish away.

Who is he, anyway?

An athlete at that punk college.

I knew that!

The training shows.
See how well he throws.

No need to be
SO impressed.

He should know the rules here.

You go tell him.

Why me?

You're the oldest.

You're always bragging
about going to America.

But at the moment, the enemy
is not American, he's African.

That's a good haul.

Some big ones.

Hey, you!

How many times
do we have to tell you?

You can't use nets here.

I don't understand
Japanese.

Fuck off!

You gotta pay
to use a net here.

Cheapskate college!

They give you Africans
athletic scholarships.

But they don't feed you properly!
How are you going to win?

Better go back to Africa.

He came all the way from Africa,
let him have a few fish.

What's that?

I'll pay for him,
if it's not too expensive.

And how much is that,
do you figure?!

Shintaro, don't.

No fighting with outsiders.

You listen up!
We got rules 'round here.

We stock this river with fingerlings.
It costs money!

Leave him be.

Women should shut up!

What are you doing here?

I just thought this was
a good place to stay.

Looking for work?

A job?

You've got a good build.

But no cash.

One of our pals is in the hospital.
It's his liver.

Picked it up from some slut.

You know, hepatitis C or B.
I don't know which.

He went all yellow,
like a banana.

That's 'cause
she was a college student.

They're the most
dangerous type.

Anyway, we're one man short.
Wanna try fishin'?

I've never done it before.

We use fixed nets.
It's like factory work.

We urgently need a man.

It's for two or three weeks
at the most.

You've got 30 seconds.
We're going to the karaoke bar.

I'll give it a shot.

Good.
I'll talk to the boss.

He's my old man.

No place to stay?

There's one place, a dump.
The food sucks, no one stays there.

The Badger Inn?

But it sure is cheap!
C'mon.

Tomorrow, 3 a.m.
Don't be late.

Thank you!

Wait!

Why did you hire him?

You didn't notice?

He showed sympathy
for that African guy.

So?

People like that
tend to be reliable workers.

Are you reliable?

But he sure is handsome.

You ever cheat on me again,
you're dead!

Watch the road!

What?
Are you hungry already?

That man who came today?

He won't come back.
He's from Tokyo.

It's coming.

The release.

I'm so embarrassed.

It's never been
like this before.

It's coming.

Dinner's ready.
Are you coming?

Yes!

Are you a friend of Aizawa's?

Who's Aizawa?

By the red bridge.
The place with that monster bird.

They used to be confectioners.

Saké?

They made good sweets.

I'm not a friend,
I just dropped by.

After she went senile,
that youngster moved in.

Are they related?

I don't know.
It's none of our business.

The old lady lived alone there
for a long time.

All done.

It's not hot enough.
No taste, it's gone all yellow.

Hang on. Wasabi.
Where did I put it?

Wasabi powder?

Bad, isn't it?

I've put up with her cooking
for 35 years.

It's been hell.

What was that?

Here you are.

It's freezing out.

It's started snowing,
no wonder it's cold.

Thank you.

The factory next door made
another offer for the house.

Don't worry.
We won't sell it.

What are you doing?

Aren't you eating?

God, can she give her revelations
after dinner?

You've made such a mess.

"First winter snow.
Trumpet flowers will bloom early.

Third of November."

The food sucks, doesn't it?

I got it down.

Feeling seasick?

I'm fine.

Just go easy.
You'll get used to it.

-Take a rest.
-No, I'm okay.

He looks just like him.

I told you, didn't 1?

But don't tell him.
It'd be bad luck.

NET FISHING
STRICTLY PROHIBITED

I told you, "Don't stop!"

Good work there, Ramin.

We'll get you
in the Biwako Marathon!

You can run all the way there!

That'd give you an appetite,
wouldn't it?

Nothing spurs you on
like an empty belly.

You better not.

Don't take it.
Everyone will see you do it.

I only came to see the fish.

Okay, sure.

I released so much,
I'll be fine for a while.

Why are you here?

I'm helping the fishermen.

I started today.
I'll be staying around for a while.

I see.

That's good.

Wait.

Would you mind
having lunch with me?

I have to run an errand
before noon.

But I've got time for tea
at my place first.

I won't be long.
Can you wait?

There are so many kinds
of sweets,

but it's the water
that makes them special.

Good water is a must.

But I ended up
with more than my fair share.

As long as you don't steal.

Only the stealing?

If you don't do bad things,
I prefer more water than less.

I don't know how to explain it,
but that's what I like.

If you weren't a good man,
I'd stab you to death.

Look over there!

This is where the river
meets the sea.

The mix attracts the fish.

Mullet, sea bass, parrot fish.

Maybe it's just good water.

I'm home.

Come in.

Have you had it looked at?

What?

The water thing.

I did see a doctor once.
He didn't believe me.

I can see why.

No one knows how much
I suffer when it happens.

Promise me
you'll stop stealing.

If it does happen again...

I could help out.

Look at the time!

I'll go make sweets
for your workmates.

-You don't have to.
-Those fishermen love sweets!

There's a closet by the room
with the view of the red bridge.

I put it inside a cheap pot
and stuffed it in the back.

What's wrong?

I'm looking for the toilet.

Use the one downstairs.

Hello?

Is that you?

Did you wire the money?

Sorry, I've been busy.

We need it
as soon as possible.

I'm not in Tokyo now.

Where are you?

In Toyama.
I'm at a friend's funeral.

That's all well and good,
but still...

I'll wire you half right away.
I'll send the rest from Tokyo.

I don't have much choice.
But don't let me down.

Mr. Sasano.

Here's your change
from the wire transfer.

Thank you very much.

Come to Africa.
There are no loans and no layoffs.

You can fish the rivers.

As a runner,
I burn a lot of sugar.

Thanks for the sweets.

Our crazy coach only allows
water during training.

The Japanese are not
scientifically minded.

Why did you come to Japan?

I have three wives.

Then I have...

11 children.

No, 13 children.

I couldn't afford to feed them.

I'm going to run
in the next Olympics.

I'll go home with a medal.

In 10 years,
I'll be president.

I'll appoint you as minister.

I'll hold you to it.

Then I'll slaughter
all the other tribes.

Chop off their heads, freeze them,
then have them for breakfast.

It's just a joke, my minister.
An African joke.

Ramin!
What the hell's going on?

See you, Minister.

It's a rare medical text.

Compiled from Chinese originals
1,000 years ago.

The originals are all gone,
scattered all over China.

That volume is
a sex manual.

Ever heard
of the Indian Kama Sutra?

Yes, I have.
The one about sex.

What's the blue-tent
philosopher up to now?

It's also instructional.

This was written by Ovid,
the ancient Roman poet.

"Amores" or "Loves."

The man's been a lecher
all through history.

The ruling class never had
to worry about survival.

They could devote all their energy
to food and sex.

You know why?

They had nothing else to do?

No. Because that's been
the ideal life since ancient times.

Squeezed what they could
from the peasants.

Then enjoyed a degenerate life.
Does it make you envious?

I can't even imagine it.

People today are all sick.

Too educated to honestly
admit their desires.

You must like sex, too?

Forget all the trivialities and
throw yourself into lasciviousness.

Easy to say,
but I don't have the energy.

What about you?

What about me?

I couldn't devote myself
to lechery.

Too late for me.
I can't get a hard-on.

Look, everything
else aside, enjoy life

while you can still
get a hard-on.

It's no laughing matter.
Be serious about it.

Geez.

Getting used to it?

Yes.
It's my sixth day today.

You learn fast.

What did you do?
Before your company went bankrupt.

I worked for
an architecture firm.

Architects, eh?

That's classy.

So you graduated college?
You must be an intellectual.

I was in sales, I had to bow
and scrape to everyone.

That's why you're so humble.

You think?

You haven't said "no" once.

I doubt that.

Your type ends up
having regrets.

You have no criminal record.

Criminal record?

That worries my dad.

A wanderer like you,
with that murder case.

A murder? Here?

A long time ago,
before I was born.

He's getting old.
Tells the same stories over and over.

It's for you.

They're upside down.

Good morning.

Morning.

I'm full. Now, please.

Just a minute.

Again, thank you so much.

Call me anytime.
I'll come right away.

You must see me as a slut.

I do.

But I can't stop
thinking about you.

Strange, this time
I filled up very quickly.

Going straight home?

Yes. Then after I eat,
I'll take a nap.

I want to show you
something.

Like what?

Grandma says it's okay.

"As calm as the ocean appears,
a wind is slowly rising.

A small boat pitches
and rolls on the waves."

That's "bad luck."

No, it's "good luck."

"A different atmosphere and place
will ease your mind.

After trials,
a man you'll find.

Your wishes will come true."

When?

It says it at the end.

See?

In this new research facility,

we observe neutrinos,
which are generated

by the collision
of cosmic rays and air

through 50,000 tons
of super pure water.

Neutrinos have poor
reciprocal qualities,

so they penetrate
most known substances.

They are unchanged
when they reach the Earth from space

and then plunge into the earth.

Something
from the ends of the universe.

We're linked to the far ends
of the universe.

At any given time,

up to 100 neutrinos
per cubic centimeter

are sharing the same
space as us humans.

Through the study
of these neutrinos,

we know
how the universe was born.

We can also learn
how our sun will change.

Isn't this great?
It's so 21st century.

When neutrinos collide
with this body of water,

a whitish-blue "Cherenkov Light"
gets generated.

We must use
super pure water

in order to prevent the light

from degrading.

Question.

Is this water drinkable?

Yes, but it would taste terrible.

Why is that?

Because it contains no calcium
and no magnesium.

Don't drink it all at once.

Ever hear
of "Ouch Ouch disease"?

Yes. It was caused
by a cadmium-polluted discharge.

The plant which discharged
the cadmium was here.

So, neutrinos are a new form
of "Ouch Ouch disease"?

Many things are
somehow all connected.

My mother,
she died in this river.

Great God of our forefathers
who watches over us,

we beseech You to grant
assistance to Your servant.

Great God of our forefathers
who watches over us,

we beseech You to grant
assistance to Your servant.

Great God of our forefathers
who watches over us,

we beseech You to grant
assistance to Your servant.

May Your holy spirit
be appeased by this plea.

We shall always look to You.

Remove the pain from her.

Restore her to her former self.

Stop this nonsense!

How many times
must I tell you?

It's bad to encourage
her superstitions.

-Back to the hospital!
-Never.

No doctor can heal her.

It is God's wrath.

Stupid superstition!
It's a medical condition!

It's caused by man!
It's cadmium poisoning.

Stupid, ignorant superstition!

What are you doing?
It's sacrilege!

Great God of Konsei!

Mommy!

Saeko!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Saeko, no!

Don't follow me!

She must vomit!

She's stopped breathing!

Resuscitation.
Call an ambulance!

Start breathing, kid!

-She hasn't puked.
-Make her breathe.

Bigger stones
will comfort her spirit.

You know,

I'm a married man.

Are you?

There was no drama
in my life.

I never expected more
than boring predictability.

Then my company
went bankrupt.

I took my career, my family,
and everything else for granted.

That was a big mistake.

I had to sell my house,
move away from my wife

and join
the unemployment line.

Sorry, you don't want
to hear this.

I expected the 21st century
to be different.

But nothing's changed.

-Hello.
-I'm back.

A hobo's been waiting for you
since lunch time.

The man stinks.

-Gen?
-You know him?

Well, yes.

Right on the ocean.
It's freezing here.

I'm starving.

Go in.

It's warm here.

Excuse me.

It's got no taste at all.

It was hard getting here.
I'm glad I found you.

Otherwise, I'd have
no way to get back.

Did you find the pot?

I found nothing.

You don't want to share it.

Ma'am.

-Any tea?
-Right away.

-Saké.
-One more?

There was nothing there.
Taro was delusional.

So why didn't you come back?

Got lucky and found a job.
Helping out on a fishing boat.

You got lucky?

Fishing is an interesting
line of work.

So you got half lucky.

I'll be staying for a while.

No, you can't...

Why not?
You've got work.

I've got a family.
I can't afford you too.

I'll look for the pot.

See you tomorrow.

Good work.

Where's he rushing off to?

To see the monster.

What do you mean?

The monster who sucks out
his vital essence.

Gimme a break!

It makes me horny.

Let's go to a hotel.

So early in the day?

My vital essence is overflowing.
Suck it out for me.

You pervert!

Slacking off again!
I'll run your ass off!

Good morning.

They're biting!

It's a big one.

Look at that.

Flounder!
I don't believe it.

That's impossible.

See the eyes on the left side?
That's a flounder, no mistake.

I've got an eel!

A saltwater eel!

I'll need a net to pull it out.
Grab it for me.

I'll go down there.

He doesn't know the difference
between a flounder and a turbot.

Thank you.

Hungry?
I'll go fix something.

I'll feed you, too, parrot.

What the hell am I doing?

Hello?

Is that you?

I'm still not back in Tokyo.

Is that right?

Can you wait a little longer?

It's not about the money.

I think we'd better
get a divorce.

I'm sick of living like this.

Hey, wait up.
This is all so sudden.

It would be easier
for you, after all.

That's not the issue!

I've thought it through.
My parents agree.

The sooner the better.

Because I can't
provide for you?

It's not that.
I just don't want to drag it out.

So what is it?
Have you met someone else?

You never change.

You get confrontational
when things get tough.

A perpetual loser.

What about Kyohei?
What about our son?

He's made new friends here.
He doesn't want to go back.

I've sent you the divorce papers.
Please sign them when you get back.

Good bye.

You should think more.

Keep on thinking
until your brain cells start to rot.

My boss always said I was
too hesitant, that I thought too much.

That only proves
you don't think enough.

The corporate culture--

You see, they don't want
the workers to think.

They want fools who'll work
their whole lives without complaining.

It's like being in jail.

Feeling any better?

My gift is past its expiration date,
but it should be okay.

I appreciate it.

This layoff is a chance
for you to sit and think.

The real meaning of freedom

is to think for yourself
and reach your own conclusions.

One that will make you happy.

What if my brain explodes
without reaching a conclusion?

Then it's in the hands
of the gods.

Same as going with it, then.

That's not right.

Don't let others
make your decisions.

You have to do it yourself.

Lose your free will,
and you lose your humanity.

But in the end,
it's all in the hands of the gods.

-What the hell?
-Sorry.

-Thinking again, are you?
-Not really.

I think you think too much.

About that woman, right?

No offense, but be careful.

What do you mean?

She used to hook up
with a fisherman.

He went crazy
and killed himself.

He went and
drowned himself.

Fishermen don't drown easily.
He meant to.

There were other men.

One man wasn't enough
for a monster

who sucked out his vital essence
and killed him.

That's ridiculous.

Just idle gossip.

You're starting to dry up.

Finished for the day?

I'll be by at 4:00.

What for?

To see my father.

I guess I'll have to join you.

No, you won't.

Can | get 1,000 yen?
A loan??

Women earn him money.

In here.

Here he is.

So you want to be
a fisherman, eh?

I'm Sasano.
Pleased to meet you.

They look alike.
He is Koji's double.

Just like I told you.

It's like Koji's back.

Who do I look like?

Koji, a fisherman.
Remember I told you?

Shorter hair,
but he looked like you.

When I first saw you,
my heart stopped.

You're in love with that girl
from the candy shop.

Sort of.

That's not
why I brought him here.

We're one man short.
Can you afford him?

I'll vouch for him.
He's a good worker.

We're leaving.

Just a minute.

Be more fucking careful!

You're absolutely hopeless.

I'm sorry.

Take care.

Old Grandma is still waiting,
is she?

Waiting? For what?

She's always there,
at the end of the bridge.

Waiting for someone?

Didn't I tell you?

She's waiting
for that drifter to return.

The murderer?
That was years ago.

She was a fine-looking
woman back then.

Men used to fight over her.

How is it?

Everything's fixed,
we're ready to fish.

So the drifter killed
the fisherman?

Right. There was
a carpet of fish that day.

What's a "carpet of fish"?

It was as if every fish
in the Sea of Japan

had gathered here,
forming a carpet of fish.

I've never seen that.

The drifter had a number
of charges against him.

He got 13 years.

She waited for him
all those years.

But he never came back.

He was incapable
of understanding a woman's pride.

Pride?
What's that mean?

You're too young to know.

When her mind went,
she started waiting for him again.

Enough of these old stories.

Does he get the job or not?

Will you give up everything
for that woman?

You've got a family,
obligations.

Not anymore, I don't.

You haven't decided yet.

Come see me again
when you're sure.

Well, that was
a waste of time.

That's checkmate.
In one move.

And a very common move,
I must say.

What's wrong with it?

It's got no pizzazz.

I once had a friend who died
on top of a woman.

He had his hand up
between her legs.

Now that was rare.

Ghosts-- uncommon ones--
tend to be fat.

What's wrong
with being common?

Isn't life like that?

Who can say what's rare
and what's common?

Is it common to release
as much water as she does?

How do you know?

You love that warm fluid.

That's none
of your concern.

Fulfill your desires,
that's the way to do it!

You're choosing
what's common.

Imagine being a rook,
a knight, or a pawn.

Now there's a life for you!

It's a good life
if it ends well, that's all.

But the battle ends
when your dick goes limp!

Grandma?

Come on inside.

What's up?
Running out of vital essence?

I'm okay.

Pay attention
or you'll get hurt.

Now heave!

Hey, Minister!
I got in the Biwako Marathon.

Congratulations!

The road to my presidency
starts at Biwako.

A good coach helps.

-Not as much this time.
-Right.

About half of what it was.

Will it continue to decrease?

It's all because of you.

You're curing me.

I've decided
to stay for a while.

There's no work in Tokyo.

I'm so glad!

I'm not a thief!

A man asked me to get
something he left behind.

A golden Buddha
or something.

Anyway, he hid it in a pot
he left here.

You know about it?

What's the matter, Granny?
Stop laughing!

Is my Taro...

in good health?

No. He died a while ago.

He didn't suffer, though.

You were Taro's lover,
weren't you?

He had regrets.

When he was drunk, he'd say
he wished he had returned.

But he couldn't face you.
Him being an ex-con and all.

So there's no treasure pot?

There is.

But it's been empty for years.

No treasure to be found
in this old dump.

What's that?

Noto silk.

It's cool in the summer.

It's his. You take it.

Expensive, isn't it?
Are you sure?

It's a reward for telling me
what became of Taro.

May I ask a question?

Is that girl upstairs
Taro's granddaughter?

What's up?

I've had enough.
I'm heading back to Tokyo.

No treasure here
and the food's lousy.

You be careful.

You too.

We won't be seeing you
back at the camp.

I envy old Taro.

No woman's going to cry
when I die.

That was sudden.
I'll miss the old bum.

Good time, Ramin.

You run better
when you're hungry.

Haven't seen Granny around
for a couple of days.

She's probably given up.

Did you say something?

It's a sad thing to wait
all those years.

Especially in vain.

You always had a thing
for her, didn't you?

Not just me. You too.

She was beautiful.

More beautiful than any
of the movie stars back then.

She was really something.

That hurts.

Sorry, I can't.

It's okay.
Don't worry about it.

You're probably just tired.

But you're a good doctor.
You've cured me.

So from now on,

I'll let you do it
whenever you want to.

I'll take these.

That'll be 1,280 yen.

-Do you want a cover?
-Please.

-Can I borrow your scooter?
-Sure.

-The key?
-It's on it.

Why?

Damn!

Good day!

-Cold, isn't it?
-Yes, it is.

Koji?

What's with you and her?

You look so much like him!

You scared me.

What's with you and her?

I just got out of jail.
I came to see Koiji's old girlfriend.

She was wasted on Kao ji.

She's not Koji's anymore.

She's yours, isn't she?

Yeah.

Okay.
Then let me be frank with you.

She's quite different, isn't she?

Her body, I mean.

She gushes like a fountain.
So Koji told me. Is that true?

I know a man who pays well
for oddities like that.

How's 50,000 yen
a night sound?

Okay, 80,000.
Plus some coke.

Before I take her to him,
I'll test her out first.

-What--
-Stay away from her!

Do you know
who you're talking to?

That Koji,
he owed me money!

His woman has
to pay me back.

I'm taking her anyway.

You aren't married to her.

Anyway, you'll dump her
when you get tired of it.

I'll kill you first!

Stop it!

You're too good for him.

-Hey, Shin!
-Long time no see.

You and your drugs are
what killed Koji!

-Cool it, will ya?!
-Fuck off!

In trouble again, kid?
You're a damn nuisance!

Dad...

He's got it wrong.
I can explain.

Let me explain.

It's a misunderstanding.

Leave that be!

You stupid little bastard!

Motherfucker!

Listen to me!

The fishermen you cheated
are waiting at the docks.

Shintaro, I've gotta go.

He's crazy about her, ain't he?

I saw you drive by.

You don't trust me.

You're all the same.

When the water decreases,
they accuse me of being unfaithful.

That's fucking obvious!

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Divine punishment
for doubting you.

Okay, I'll tell you.

Grandma never sold the shop
because she was waiting for a man.

He asked me to come here.

He hid some treasure
here long ago.

He wanted me
to get it for him.

So that's why you first
approached me?

Well, I saw you stealing,
so I thought...

I've heard enough!

At first, it was true,
but once we had a relationship,

I didn't care about the treasure
anymore. Honestly!

For you,
it was just some kinky sex...

but do you realize
how much I suffer?

I tried to kill myself
many times.

It wasn't just sex!

Only Grandma
understands my agony.

She had the water too?

That treasure in the pot...

it had to be her water.

What a fool!

You came
all the way here for that?

Now you've found it.

So what now?
Are you satisfied?

Hey!
Where are you?

Down here.

It's all over now.

You can go back
to your wife.

I'm staying here.

I've decided. I'm staying.

Do what you want.

Was Koji so much like me?

He was kind to me.

You chose me
because I look like him?

To atone for your sin?

That's vicious!

Did you bring him here?

Don't!
Don't come in here.

Am I just
a substitute for him?

Yes, you are.

This place is a womb for you.

Koji was a real fisherman.

He was nothing like you.

You're just
an office employee.

Can't an employee love you?

You only love the water,
my shame!

Take a look at the real me!
Me without the water.

Which is the real you?

You're real
the way you are!

No!
I can't take it!

I love you so much
it makes me sick!

I love you!

Release my water!
Now!

I will. I sure will.

I'll empty you.
You'll run dry.

You know very well
it's an impossible tale.

A funeral for New Year's
is hard to pull off.

Imagine dying
from choking on a rice cake.

That's so like Grandma.
