Hey...
Will you really die?
Don't hey me like that
I'm not your woman
Shall I call you by your first name?
You have no shame!
Call me by my first name?
Call me "my dear"
My dear
Will you really die?
Why not?
Lt'll be convenient for you
Go to your woman's
I'm different from you
All my life I've known only you
Let me tell you clearly
I've...
Devoted my body and soul to you
Yet you reward me like this
You throw me away like a cat
No, you're wrong
Then what am I to you?
You're... my wife
Am I your wife?
You don't treat me like your wife
Anyway, I don't want you to die
But...
Will you treat me so I won't have to die?
You've been unfaithful for such a long time
I'll try
But, how?
I'll be a different woman
I'll be prodigal
Think a hack writer like you can support me?
I'll stay home
I won't go out
If I go out, I'll take my wife and children
I won't sleep with anyone but my wife
That's natural!
Where to?
I can't tell you that
Then I can't let you go
What's wrong?
An iron pot is pressing my head hard
Hit me
Hit my head!
More
More!
Enough. Stop it
Whenever you stayed out...
I was like this
That's you
Take a good look
It hides at unfavorable times...
and shows itself again after a while
It symbolizes the form of your heart and body
Listen
I have a question
You mind if I ask?
Help yourself
But my answer will never satisfy you
lt'll only make things worse
Just one question
I won't ask any more
Just one question?
I know you always keep coming up with more
All right
I won't ask you
Very well
Ask me
Please ask me
I read your diary
It said, "lmpotent wife"
What does that mean?
You know, because you wrote it
I threw away the diary
But I memorized everything you wrote in it
What does it mean?
You ask so suddenly
It takes a little time to remember...
when I wrote it and why
Really? Take all the time you need
But remember accurately
You call this a dinner?
Letter
Here's the letter
We'll read it together
I don't want to see it
Did you flush it down?
No, just paper
The letter paper?
Just paper
Liar!
Hurry!
Lieutenant Shimao will douse you with water!
More! More!
I'm sorry
I'm sorry. Forgive me
I'm so humiliated that I have to look like this
Dad isn't a bad boy, is he?
I'm worried. I'd better not go
Don't worry. Your work is important
"Happy family. Delightful shopping"
I was thinking of mailing you the galleys
I'm sorry
"Outside of House"
You here, too?
How about lunch?
Not today. I'll leave
I'll be finished soon. Join me
How's your stomach?
Still wear an inner tube?
Not anymore
You're an ex-banzai attacker after all
That's what I think
There's always something broken about you
Is there?
Miho!
Where's Mom?
I don't know
What about you, Maya?
I don't know
Shinichi, look at me
Take a good look at me
Did she go out alone?
Yeah
To buy something?
I don't know
What was she wearing?
A dress or a kimono?
A kimono
Did she seem angry?
She didn't say anything
Kuniko
Come in
Has my wife been here?
What do you mean?
I won't come here anymore
What's the matter?
What happened?
She might come to kill you
She might even kill herself
I don't understand
I have no time to explain
I can't come
Thanks for being my friend so long
But I won't come anymore
Listen
Explain so I'll understand
Come in, huh?
I can't
I'll leave. I won't come again
Then...
You don't like me anymore?
It's not that
You like me?
Sure, I like you
I like you, too
Come at least once a month
I can't
Then, write to me
I can't do that, either
May I write to you?
You'd better not
I'll go partway with you
No, thanks
Seems your wife is back
Someone was peeking from outside the fence...
and went to the back
I'm sure she's your wife
Will you come with me?
Miho!
I'm so glad!
I'm glad you're home!
No!
Don't touch me!
You're filthy!
Beast! Damn you!
Look...
I think I'd better leave
At this hour? Why not staying overnight?
Thanks, but no thanks
Now that she's back home, I'll go
Let's go inside
I decided not to come back again
I'm such a fool!
I'm not good!
I can't see the kids anymore
Give them these toys tomorrow morning
It's for you. Whiskey
You can't go that way
Leave me alone!
It hurts!
It hurts!
I waited... until 3 o'clock
I was relaxed
But...
when the clock pointed to three,
a dreadful suspicion came over me
I couldn't control myself
Try to understand
The only thing that keeps me going...
is the hope that my husband won't lie to me anymore
If you break a promise...
no matter how small it is...
how can I dismiss your lies of the past?
I came straight home
You sure?
You went to see her!
I meant, I came straight home from there
Sorry, I can't believe you
No point in hiding anything from you
But...
whenever I ask you about it, you always lie
A lot has happened. Some thins I forget
Others I remember
But I don't lie about the basics
Or I wouldn't be here with you like this
You're only patronizing me
You can't atone for what you've done to me
I'm not trying to hide anything
You can't Everyone knows about it already
She's been complaining to your friends that...
you gave her only a pack of cigarettes
Still, I envy her
Just a pack of cigarettes is enough
What did you ever give to me?
What else did you give her?
Tell me the truth
Nothing special
That's another lie
I took her some chocolates
How many times?
I can't remember such trifles
How irresponsible!
I can't remember settles everything, huh?
Tell me the color of her ***
You bought a dozen pairs for her
They were all different colors
I wish I could wear such colorful ***!
Can you guess why I know about it?
Shall I tell you?
I paid...
30,000 yen to have somebody check on you
Can you guess how I could raise the money?
Want to know?
Open the wardrobe
You won't find one of my kimonos
You know why I had to sell them?
I didn't do it for you, but because of you
Think I'm lying?
No
You're telling the truth
Yes
I'm not a liar like you are
Listen
How much did you pay her each month?
No money
Another lie?
You withdrew 10,000 yen
What for?
Tell me
Honestly
Tell me
Shall I tell you?
You used it
to buy her an abortion
You sent her to a gynecologist
Didn't you
Am I wrong?
Or am I right?
Which?
You're right
***!
Oh!
You hit me!
Toshio hit me!
Shinichi, wake up! Maya too!
Your father's running away
Get up!
***! Who's let you go?
I'll be the first to run!
Quit crying
I won't go anywhere
Whenever the kids cry, you frown
I've been afraid of you
From now on, you bring them up
I've been...
very, very considerate of your health, too
But you've never been able to appreciate that
These arms...
these legs...
I've grown them myself
I don't wan to give them to anyone else
I've put up with you for ten years
But I can't take it anymore!
Miho
Don't cry
I'm to blame
Whatever I've done, I was wrong
I've thought only about myself
I've left you behind
No
That's not it
I don't know why it turned out like this...
after the war
I forced my weakness on you
I tried to expand myself that way
But I've finally brought myself to wake up
From such sloppy ways
You've beaten me
But I have one favor to ask of you:
I won't lie to you anymore
So in return, quit digging into the past
Just look toward the future
I'll make a deal
For ten years I've made you suffer
So for the next ten years, I'll serve you
I'll do whatever you tell me to do
And I won't do anything you don't want me to do
Where to?
Why, you came for me?
I'm going home. Nowhere else
I don't believe it
And you still have a class
No
The class was cancelled. I'm leaving early
You were planning to meet her, weren't you?
I thought I'd cross the street
Let's decide the way I'll go home
I'll walk this way every night
I'll cross the street at that fruit shop
I'll walk on the left side of the street
Then you won't miss me when you come to meet me
Why not stay longer?
Thanks. But it's already late
Shinichi, Maya, let's go
Take home the special food of this island
How nice! Thank you
Help me with my shoes, huh?
You make your man do that, too?
I'm a little tired this evening. Call a taxi
You've worked hard. Here's a reward for you
Good. My manuscript fee
Papa
Why don't we build a new fence?
The place looks miserable. It's awful
Okay?
Okay
You let your man carry it all?
I wish I could do that
But you can stay with your husband all day
I have to. We work together
Never once has he taken me on a holiday
Ever been to lkebukuro with her?
I did what I did. So what?
I apologized for it
What more do you want?
I am what I am
Kill me! Send me to hell, if you like!
Fool! What are you raving about?
Hell, you say?
That's where you are right now
Shinichi, let's play
Maya, let's play
I wanted so much to be loved...
without interruption
Maybe I took too much for granted
How tragic it is not to get what you want!
I'll never become a shellfish
I'm glad she didn't start again
She said it
She really gets like a shellfish
Shinichi, go buy bread
A loaf of bread and peanut butter
I'll clean up. Miho, boil some water
Maya, help me
Ready? Here we go!
Today I'll tell you about a monster
Listen carefully, children
The monster has a red face...
and long arms and legs
He's neither a god nor a ghost
He's the same as humans
You starting school next year?
Yeah
What a big head!
It must be filled with brains
You're a bright girl, too, with plenty of brains
Papa
Let's try even harder, for them
Shopping? You should tell me
Sometimes I want to walk by myself
I'm tired of walking with you
I suppose
But you can't go all by yourself
Toshio...
Did you please her?
Tell me
Could you please her?
How would I know such stuff?
Liar!
You're lying
Really. I don't know
Liar! Liar! You're a rotten liar!
Listen, Miho...
It's highly personal
Liar! I hate lies!
I'll never forgive you until you quit lying
Tell me clearly,
and we can stop this stupid argument
Don't go!
Don't go near there!
Wait!
Someone stop him!
Papa!
Wait!
Please don't die!
I'm sorry
What's wrong?
What's he doing?
Stop crying
No need to cry
Want some toast?
With ham?
Do you want another one?
You sure eat a lot
Your belly all right?
Shall we buy more?
Or is it enough?
Want to eat rice too?
What a mess!
I pushed him so hard
he got crazy
Toshio, it's time to go
Shinichi
Papa, you start
Good!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Shinichi
Is this the one?
Use both hands
Maya
Thanks for everything last year
And thank you in advance for this year
Same here
Her!
She's there!
I saw her at Koiwa Station
But she didn't notice me
You loved her a lot
How could you leave herjust like that?
You keep harping on that
Enough is enough!
I'll die of pneumonia!
You threatening me?
Get naked, then
I can do that, too
Want some medicine?
Never mind
I'll be all right soon
Hi! It's morning
The factory people are starting work
Shinichi...
Let's go
To the village where my parents are from
Miho...
Let's go there and create a new past
Your cousins live in your dad's house
You won't like it there
Stay here longer
Thanks, but I must visit my parents' grave
Miho, you should eat a little more
The education committee will contact us. Then...
I'll tell you soon
Thank you
Let's go
Toshio
Remember that house?
No. What about it?
We used to go there and steal pigeon eggs
That drunkard's house?
Like father, like son. His son's a lush, too
Shall we take a bath?
Help yourself
What about you?
No, thanks
Don't call me Miho anymore
Starting now, call me by her name
Dad, do it for me
I can't do it
At ten degrees, we'll have meat
At ten degrees, we'll have meat
Is the temperature down to ten?
Sure
Look
Okay, okay
Eat meat, and you won't get sick
Right. Shinichi, put it down
Sit down, you two
Let's hope Mom won't "start it again"
I sort of feel I should "start it again"
It isn't necessary
Let's eat
Shinichi, Maya, grow up quickly
We'll live together in a wilderness
If someone comes to kill us
we'll fight back with guns
You and Maya can pass out the ammunition
I don't hate you
I don't know why I'm torturing you
Listen
Tell me
What should I do?
Shame on you!
Who are you to blab about
a married couple's shame?
Don't do that
Calm down
No woman has the right to strike her husband
No matter what he says, it's a lie
I'm not sick. He lied in order to get me here
I'm scared
I'm scared
Roll up your sleeve
Listen
She hates electric shock treatments
Don't do it
As you wish
Don't move, or the needle will break
Papa...
I...
What's wrong, Papa?
Nothing's wrong
I'm worried
Nothing to worry about
What's she doing now?
She's sleeping
Let's hope so
I feel lonely without her here
Want the light off?
I don't care
Then, let's leave it on
Good night
Good night
Dad, Maya threw away her coat!
Shinichi!
Where?
I don't know
She took it away somewhere
Maya!
Tell me: Did you throw away your coat?
I don't know
Yes, you do. I won't get mad, so tell me
Don't lie. Tell me the truth
You threw it away?
Where is it?
There
Here?
Nothing here
This way
Here
Another lie
If you keep lying, I'll really get mad
I might run out on you guys
Maya! Stop! Watch out!
A phone call!
Hello?
Do you know who I am?
Sure
Why haven't you come?
I couldn't make it yesterday. I'll go today
I write you postcards
Anybody can write a postcard
Okay, I'll make them letters
All you do is quibble
You never do anything on your own
Listening?
I'm listening, yes
I'm back
Give me money. For the taxi
Somehow I feel better
You've moved into that house around the corner?
That place was empty for such a long time
In a corner of the kitchen,
I found many empty cans
They were for TB medicine
Dear...
We can't raise our kids here
Let's go back to Amami
Miho...
Let's send the kids there first
Your folks may not like it
But we can go there, too, as soon as you get better
Am I...
...really sick?
Mr. Shimao
You Mr. Shimao?
Yes, I am
He's in
Toshio
Wait. I have something to discuss
That woman?
Don't miss her. Catch her!
What are you doing? I won't run
You hold her, too
Let go!
What brings you?
His "friends" sent me
What's that?
Money as a token of their sympathy for you
Why should we accept money from you?
But, we all discussed it...
After you destroyed my home?!
That's...
You came because you thought I was in an asylum
Too bad, I'm here
I knew you'd come someday
I won't let you go
Toshio, lock the doors!
Do you really love me?
Yes
Do you love that woman or not?
I hate her
Then you can hit her in my presence
Do it for me!
Not enough! Do it harder!
It's not enough to cure my mind
That hurts!
What's keeping you? Help!
Stop! Don't crack her skull!
I get it
She's more important than me!
Help!
She wants to kill me! Help!
Toshio!
Take a good look!
You caused all this! You did it!
Let's take off her *** and stuff!
Hurry! Grab her legs!
Stop!
I don't know what's going on
So I don't know who's right and who's wrong
But no one is allowed to behave like savages
So stop. Please stop
Is it here?
What's going on?
Thank you
We'll get to the island...
A week from now in the morning
We'll take them there all right
The luggage we sent will get there at the same time
I thought I'd never be able to see the island again
Sorry
That's all right
The white, bright days... and...
the profound blue nights of the island...
It'll help your kids grow up as good citizens
Shinichi, be sure to write me often
Sure
Going to grade school there?
You can write, then
Goodbye
Excuse me. My wife's gone
Look! It's open
Where's her house? She might've gone home
She has no house
This is our house
Did she have sleeping pills?
I don't know. I saw odds and ends in the drawer
Go and look
Do bodies sink to the bottom?
They float once, then they sink again
I came back because you were crying
You heard me crying?
You kept saying, Miho, Miho, and howling like a dog
You'll receive continuous sleep treatment
Will I... get better?
If you sleep well
Won't you be lonely after I fall asleep?
Sure
Then...
I'll make a scene
I suppose
