You didn't stay there this time?
Goldfish was here.
For what?
She seemed
eager to see you.
She'd been crying.
The firm wants to transfer me.
Where?
To a post in Mitsuishi.
Where is that?
That's in Okayama Prefecture.
I said I'd think it over.
What do you intend to do?
I don't know.
I wouldn't mind going there.
It's in the mountains.
Far better than here in Tokyo.
What about you?
What?
Don't want to?
Is Tokyo more interesting?
It's not that.
Some attraction here?
What are you saying?
I just wanted to ask.
You're being odd.
Nothing odd about it.
Stop insinuating.
About what?
You're talking like a fool.
Good evening,
Anyone home?
It's Goldfish.
What's happened? Why are you here?
Can you come outside?
Is it important?
What is it at this hour?
-I'm sorry about earlier.
-Don't mention it.
Why don't you go?
Tomorrow.
Better go. See what she wants.
Fine.
-Thank you.
-Of course.
I'll be back soon.
I kept on denying everything.
But they kept on asking, asking.
I started to cry.
They'll get you next.
Mullet told me to think of your wife.
Asked what if I were the wife.
What am I to do?
Tell me. What am I to do?
Calm down. You're too excited.
I'm really confused.
It's late. Go home and sleep.
I can't sleep tonight. Listen.
Try to sleep. Let's go back.
Wait. Let's walk a little more. Please.
We must go back.
Asleep already?
Too bright. Turn it off.
What was it?
Nothing much.
A long time for nothing much.
She's strange.
How so?
Why haven't you made my bed?
My bed made?
I'll get some sleep.
Warm tonight.
Wait. I want to talk to you.
Sit down.
What is it?
You're hiding things from me.
I may look dumb but I know.
Know what?
What is she to you?
-Who?
-Goldfish.
We take the same train.
No more?
Why did she come here tonight?
If it's nothing then why not tomorrow?
Ask Goldfish about it.
Don't be like that.
Where is your shirt?
There it is. Hand it over.
There's lipstick on it.
Do you still say it's nothing?
That night too,
the same lipstick.
What's going on?
I can guess.
Want me to leave?
Don't be ridiculous.
It's no use trying to fool me.
You've changed.
Forgotten all about our child.
Good morning.
Your wife went out very early.
I have the key.
Another hot day today.
If you'll excuse me.
Sorry I'm late.
Miura died.
When?
This morning. At dawn.
He was feeling good last night.
I went to see him.
Overdose of sleeping pills.
He did say he wasn't sleeping.
So Miura's dead....
I hear they want to transfer you.
Want to go?
If not, you can turn it down.
The management ought to consult
the union about such things.
Family circumstances....
I haven't said yet.
Think it over carefully.
Too bad about Miura.
A good man.
To die at 32.... It's a pity.
Well, think carefully.
Yes, thanks a lot.
Thank you for coming.
This is his sister's husband.
Thank you for coming.
Mr. Sugiyama entered the company
at the same time my son did.
A terrible shock for you.
I just can't believe it yet.
He was so happy last night, talking to you.
So unexpected.
His brother died in the war.
I no longer have any sons.
No one to...to complain to me.
I will see you later.
Thank you very much.
Good evening.
Good evening.
It's really too bad.
I was with him here last night.
Maybe he was lucky never knowing
what a salaried worker's life is like.
Never saw a happier office worker.
That's true.
He would have tired of it later.
I don't think so. Not him.
Think so?
Perhaps you're right.
All the worse then to die.
Then again, he was a bachelor.
You get disillusioned fast
if you have a wife and children.
Babies come faster than raises.
Maybe Miura was lucky after all.
We live on. But we're not happy.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
-You're still here.
-Am I in the way?
You're handy to have around.
Here's some hamburger.
What else for supper?
Mackerel soup. Beer too.
It was so hot today.
On the third floor but there's no breeze.
Stifling.
