the ''Missing Persons Hour''
I don't understand myself
I'm forgetful of everything
Only I remember things related to Shoji
There's no hope now
Been in Zentsuji?
That's right
Know a man named Manabe?
He worked in a company
No. Who is he?
Nobody
Ask Sakaguchi
Maybe knows him
It should be the end of the game
Want to put it here No, here
The number of kids have increased
Sunday means noise
My house's filled with them today
Ready?
Yes, take it
What a crowd!
Have some sandwiches, everyone
Let's eat!
Don't step on the tracks!
Buy me more tracks
You have enough
Most of these belong to the others
You have the money
But, it's not enough
We want more
I'll ask Father
Please do
Tell him it's 32mm gage
Shrewd!
Will you buy some?
No, I won't
Welcome!
Mari called, she couldn't come
Taka come yet?
Oh, what a crowd!
Just amazing!
Go away
Go upstairs
Beautiful!
To your mother
The sky's beautiful here
I envy you for that
Your parent's?
Gone out
What about Mari?
She wanted very much to come
But her husband must make a trip
I don't think so
She can come. She has a maid
Maybe a wife has worries
We don't know
Help yourself
This is a nice place
I wish I could live here
Noriko, a phone call!
From Oiso
You Taka?
Taka just called from Oiso
Her father's sick
Unbelievable! I know he's on a trip
Strange... why doesn't she come?
This party was her idea
We're shunned
Because we argue
We were all close friends at school...
Can't be helped
Shall we go to the beach?
Eat first
Pass me the bottles
This may be the happiest time for
our family
We'll be losing Noriko soon
You're right
Mr. Satake's arranging...
I hope it goes successfully
Koichi got married and has children
And now Noriko's marrying
Maybe that's the happiest now
I don't think so. We can be happier
We must not want too much
Oh, I really enjoyed today!
Look!
A child must be crying
Remember how Koichi cried?
This is the Central Hospital
Your wife
Fumiko? It's me
I must stay here tonight
There are a really sick person
Is Noriko home?
Her prospect is good
Sakaguchi told me
I'll tell you after I come home
Yes, dear, I understand
Good night!
Night duty?
It seems good! How much?
900 Yen
Very expensive! I didn't know
My appetite's gone
Come on! Give me plates
It was a big mistake
I don't know why I asked you to buy it
Will you pay half?
Oh, don't make me
I will! I will!
It's expensive
It's good
It's the same as half a pound of wool
But we rarely eat cake
Who is it?
I'm Yabe
You're here
Koichi's busy...
He just called
Come in
Goodnight
Good evening!
Your parents?
Gone to bed
Help yourself
Oh, good timing
Any celebration?
Do you eat cake often?
Not very often
I wish I could
Expensive?
No, rather cheap
Eat, don't worry
Good!
May I congratulate you?
I heard
What are you talking about?
Noriko's marrying?
That's great, where?
Is that true?
Maybe...and you too, I hear
Your mother...
Only her idea
I think you should remarry
Yes, also for the good of Mitsuko
My mother always says so
If you won't eat it, I will
Oh, I will!
It's so good!
Hide the cake!
What now?
Good evening
I'm home
Hello, Dad!
Great!
Look, Mom! I'm happy!
Isamu, Dad bought us tracks!
Fantastic!
What?
What a shame!
It's bread
Mother?
Over here
Mother!
Mother!
Your belt
Good news for Noriko!
That's very good
He is said to be from a family
with reputation
the second son, very smart
He seems to be a fine businessman
How nice! And, how old is he?
He was born in 1910, so about 40
Yes, 40 years old
Oh, 40?
Age doesn't matter
But, too old for Noriko
Don't be silly!
She isn't so young
She can't wait any longer
The man is the best we can hope for
I feel sorry for her
Why? What do you mean?
Don't insist too much! You'll ruin her!
You mean...
Yes, I do!
You want too much
and will ruin her changes!
But---
But what?
What does she think?
You said she would accept
Didn't you
