alley, how did you go?
I turned left again.
Left?
What corner?
A grade school.
Then what?
You remember. Tell me!
At the back of the school.
The house. What is it called?
The name reads “Sakurai.”
At night?
What time?
After eight.
Was the man already there?
Did he come later?
Which?
What sort of man?
Tell me how he looked.
Tell me!
Hey!
What's wrong? Why are you up?
Go back to sleep.
Tell me! Talk!
Fool!
Hello?
Any rooms?
Who are you?
Orie sent me.
Come in.
Please.
Call a girl.
What type do you like?
Anyone will do.
Can you wait a while?
Listen.
The woman Orie brought last month...
about 28, 29 years old...
around eight p.m...
Does she come often?
No. She never came again.
Is that so?
Hello.
How old are you?
Name?
Fusako.
How long have you been doing this?
Why do you do it?
Everybody asks the same thing.
I have no choice.
Why?
I have to take care of my family.
Your father?
Too old to work.
Mother?
Died.
Brothers?
Kid brother's a student.
Big brother died.
Rough, isn't it?
I went to that school.
I picked up nuts here.
Let's go to that room.
I’ll leave.
Leave?
What happened?
He left. He gave me this.
What happened?
I don't know.
Are you here?
What are you doing?
Why did you leave?
Why are you here?
To eat lunch.
Why not have one?
I can't take money for nothing.
If you insist.
I baked it myself. lt's not tasty.
It is tasty.
On nice days I eat lunch here.
I hang around here until evening.
What about your work?
They send for me when needed.
I don't like to wait in that house.
You're 21 .
You like your work?
No.
Quit then.
And then what?
Get a proper job.
Who'd hire a woman like me?
You can do it, if you'd try.
It won't work.
Even if I did, men would scorn me.
You are no different.
Why?
Why go to that place?
You look down on me, too.
No.
Don't lie.
Hey, you're young.
You can find happiness.
Have confidence.
I’ll find you a job...
and come again in a few days.
How old is she?
Will you hire her?
All right, I’ll manage.
Please do.
But, it's odd.
You forgave her, but not your wife.
She did it because she had no choice.
It's in the past, too.
Forget it and forgive her.
It's for her sake.
I’ve already forgiven her.
She had no choice.
But I still feel shocked.
I can't forget it.
I feel irritated and sweat.
I can't sleep. I feel like shouting.
I can't control myself.
I know how you feel. But try.
Use your will instead of your sentiment.
Control yourself. I wish I could.
Get over your slump.
It's ready.
Forget it quickly.
The jazz sounds rather sad to me.
It's not sad.
A bit noisy, but it's merry. Look up.
Try to think of it as merry.
Have some more.
No, thanks.
Welcome home.
I was worried about you.
You didn't come home
last night either. Tired?
Why not rest?
Where have you been?
Hiroshi waited for you...
until late last night.
I’m sorry I made you feel like this...
after you finally came back.
Don't go anywhere.
Please stay.
Go away.
I won't. Don't go.
You're tired. Rest for today.
Let go.
If anything happened to you...
Tokiko!
Well...
You all right?
I’m all right.
What's up? What happened?
I was careless.
I fell off the steps.
You all right?
Are you really all right?
Okay.
Be careful.
I will. Sorry to worry you. Take care.
I’m sorry I made you feel like this.
I was such a fool.
But I can't stand to watch you
suffer anymore.
Do as you wish.
I’ll take whatever you do to me.
Hit me. Hate me.
Do anything to satisfy yourself.
Stop crying.
Please don't cry.
Listen, scold me. Hit me.
I’m suffering, too.
I won't scold you.
I feel sorry for you.
I know you had no choice that time.
Let's forget it...
as a bad mistake.
Grieving won't do us any good.
Let's forget it. I’ll forget it. You, too.
Don't think about it anymore.
Let's be more generous.
Let's love one another more deeply.
I’m sorry.
So am l.
Something was wrong with me.
It's over. Stop crying.
Aren't you hurt?
