field
after school?
I'll come home as soon as possible.
Did she say anything about me?
No, she didn't.
Kimiko has a mother. That's very nice.
You have a father!
Having a mother is nice, too.
That's asking too much!
We'll play with her again tomorrow.
We promised to play together
every day.
Welcome back!
Eat it, the three of you!
About a job, I asked my friend.
We'll have to find one quickly.
Tigers are stronger.
Lions are stronger than tigers.
The strongest is King Kong.
Childhood is the best time of life.
This may sound silly
but I wish I were a child.
We'll both start over.
Don't make light of your life.
10 days ago, I would have died
for good sake.
I'm happy I'm still alive.
What you are laughing at?
For a woman aged 27 or 28
is this neckpiece too plain for her?
Nice, isn't it?
Here to boast of your woman?
It's nice to live along.
He's a good man, isn't he?
You like him, don't you?
What's wrong?
Have you got a headache?
What happened to her?
She should've come by now.
I wonder what happened to her.
She didn't come today, either.
Maybe she isn't here anymore.
She should've said goodbye to us.
She was a stranger after all.
It's good to live long.
For you!
You've got the wrong person.
I changed my mind.
Everybody changes his mind
nothing wrong with that.
You work at a place like this?
Then you didn't have to strain that much.
I thought you were the type
who'd live properly.
It's unbelievable, eh?
My kids were always waiting for you.
Stop crying!
You want to live an easy life, too, eh?
I need money.
My child is suffering from dysentery.
I need money to send her to hospital.
(I got no money so I had
to use my body... )
I thought I was lost.
I felt as if the end had come.
I even thought of dying with her.
I couldn't do anything for her.
I wanted to act like a mother should.
I didn't care what happened to me.
I couldn't think of anything but my child.
You're wrong!
That sort of money would
never save her.
Go back to your daughter.
You'll get money some other way.
Hold her hand tightly.
Whatever happens, don't give up.
Tsune!
Will you lend me 30 yen?
Stop joking.
You're asking the wrong person.
Back to your old habits again?
You still owe me money.
I'll forget that. But I won't
lend you any more.
I'm sorry!
Will you do me a favor?
Will you take this to Kimiko's mother?
I've found Kimiko and her mother.
They're at the hospital.
Don't drop it. Be careful!
I hope she won't hate you.
Behave while you're there.
Didn't a workman-like fellow come?
What brings you here?
Be quiet!
You've done something bad?
What have you done?
Will you do me a favor?
Take care of my kids for a while.
What on earth did you do?
What did you do?
You stole something?
Why did you do that?
I wanted to help somebody.
Who?
That woman's child.
Why must you take care of that child?
You can't even look after your children.
What a stupid thing to do!
But I couldn't just sit and watch.
Once, I even considered
killing myself and the kids.
She's a woman. I couldn't stand
to see her suffer.
If you had kids...
you'd understand.
You wanted money for that?
Why didn't you tell me?
If you'd told me, I could have
managed something.
Why didn't you tell me?
Don't say anything more.
I'm sorry for all the troubles
I've caused you!
But will you take care of my kids?
I'm imploring you!
It's awful to be poor.
I thought luck was beginning
to side with you.
And then this happened.
The 10 days since you got me the job...
have been the happiest time of my life.
I'll go before my kids get back.
Where's the nearest police station?
Thus has a soul been saved.
