"Summer 1988" "Sorry for all the letters." "This is also about your wife's adultery." "If you think about it carefully," "You'll know i'm not lying." "So I have decided to write this one last time." "This isn't a trick or a joke." "When you go on all-night fishing trips," "A man visits your wife at night" "Hello." "You're home early today." "I can't go now." "I'm home." "I'm packing your lunch." "You're going fishing tonight, right?" "Yes." "What'll you be fishing for?" "Sea bass and black sea bream." "Then it's sashimi tomorrow." "Recently the landlady has been ill." "It'll be cold tonight." "Take an overcoat." "Okay." "...especially when you go fishing." "What time will you be home?" "Same as always." "It's eel takeout" "See you." "Take care." "Leaving already, Mr. Yamashita?" "Yes." "I just come here and you're leaving." "This is for you." "Porgy takeout." "Can I have it?" "Sure" "Say hello to everyone." "Ok." "Take care." "Good bye." "See you." "Going back already?" "Shall I drive you?" "No thanks." "Coming next week, too?" "Yes." "Good bye." "See you." "You killed her!" "Murder!" "Help!" "Help!" "I live in Wakaba,Tama Ward." "My name is Takuro Yamashita." "I just killed my wife." "This is the weapon I used." "Come inside." "Call Homicide." "Ok." "This way." "Homicide?" "A man has just turned himself in." "Yes, please." "Eight years later" "While you're on parole," "Make sure you don't break any rules" "And don't make any trouble for Rev. Nakajima, your parole officer." "Even if you see trouble occurring around you, don't let yourself be drawn into it." "The 2 years on parole," "I hope you'll spend it without any lapses." "My car's in the parking lot." "You forgot this." "I put some oxygen in." "It should last all day." "What is it?" "It's Yamashita's pet eel." "Pet eel?" "He kept it in a pond inside the prison." "Actually, pets are forbidden but we pretended it was ours." "But why an eel?" "He listens to what I say." "He listens?" "He doesn't say what I don't want to hear." "The prison term was shortened from 10 years to 8 years." "That was really a long term if wasn't shortened." "He's a murderer." "The Eel" "So" "Your brother should know you are leaving prison today." "He should come today." "No,he won't come here." "Why?" "He is the only relative of yours,isn't he?" "Two years ago,when mom died, he didn't write to me." "My niece graduated from college" "Now she's working in a company." "Where are the parents of your dead wife?" "Where are they?" "I don't know." "I see." "Let's go there." "Yamada Yamada Where's this train going..." "Tastes good?" "Yes." "This is my temple." "You'll have to come here and report to me occasionally." "We can just talk, that's all." "Will you come in?" "My eel doesn't look so good." "I'll show you that shop you asked about." "Let's take a walk." "Can't you walk alongside me?" "It's an 8 year habit." "1 2 1 2" "Look forward." "1 2" "Reverend Nakajima!" "Another funeral?" "Time to rake in more cash, huh?" "No." "We're just out walking." "He's an old student who's visiting me." "This is Mr. Takada." "This is Mr. Yamashita." "I'm showing him the sights of Sawara." "Sawara is as empty as the Sahara." "What's that?" "It's an eel." "It's a whopper!" "At least a kilo." "You going to gril lit?" "He's much too fond of it." "Shall we continue?" "Where are you going?" "There's nothing out that way." "I'll show him the old barber shop." "He's thinking of starting up." "Not that old place?" "I agree." "But he saw the photos and liked the place." "Mr. Yamashita" "Come back here." "Come back here." "It's changed." "Yes,a little." "It's so nice here." "Yamashita." "This is your bank book." "I got it from your brother." "He received 4 million yen when your mother died." "He spent a million on the funeral." "This is what's left." "Plus the 80,00 yen you earned while in prison." "It's 3.8 million yen in total." "Take it." "It's a lot of money." "Prices have risen in the past eight years." "Use it wisely." "I know." "Bathroom and washroom are in there." "Bedrooms are upstairs." "What are you doing here?" "I thought someone wanted to buy the shop." "It's not open yet." "Is it?" "Please go back." "Mr. Yamashita" "He's the son of peasants nearby." "He's dawdling here." "What a troublesome kid." "Is it?" "I've one thing to show you." "It's the symbol of opening." "It's a good decoration." "Put it at the gate." "It's arrestive." "The condition of barber's is so tough here." "It's like deserted here." "No one comes." "Where is he?" "What are you doing?" "I like this place." "How about you?" "Better than the prison pond." "What did you say?" "I agree!" "That's really weird." "Don't make clerical error." "I know." "I won't." "You should think this way." "It's your own business." "No one knows about the disagreement?" "Thank you for the bath." "Be careful!" "Let me introduce you to my wife." "Put it down for a second." "I'm Misako." "Nice to meet you." "I'll wash your things." "No, thank you." "I can do it myself." "I just came here." "Please take care of me." "Sorry about this." "It seems that you are getting busier." "Ah..." "Is it comfortable?" "What's going on here?" "You opening up shop?" "What's he up to?" "Apparently he's opening a barbershop." "You're kidding!" "Barber's?" "Your imagination is too bad." "Hello?" "What are you fishing for?" "Nothing in particular." "What if a customer comes?" "I can see from here." "Don't I look like a customer?" "Have you been in Barber's for long?" "No." "I noticed you are well-skilled" "I've been doing this for about 5 years." "5 years is not a short time." "I didn't do it at the beginning." "What did you do?" "Before learning haircut." "Many jobs." "Like in publish company and food company" "Oh, I see." "Talk to that eel, do you?" "Make you laugh, does he?" "I happened to catch it and I'm just keeping it." "We should go eel-hunting together." "That's strange." "That's downright unusual." "A woman here all by herself." "What's up?" "Hi." "Don't stand out there." "Come on in." "I'm going to get some food for my eel." "Takada knows a good place." "Does he?" "Come here." "The transaction needn't to be so clear." "Yes." "Have you caught anything?" "What's this?" "The bait for eel." "Ah....this..." "Ah,I almost forgot." "My son's hair needs to be cut." "He will come to your shop later Please cut his hair shorter." "He's in the third grade of junior school, dawdling at home everyday." "He got his ears pierced some days ago." "I really don't understand what he's thinking." "While you're on parole... don't let yourself be drawn into any kind of trouble." "Is it an emergency" "I don't know." "Where have you been?" "Play the billiards?" "Don't play that again." "Me, more clever." "That's me who give you the chance." "Do you like the star or horse race?" "In my opinion." "Your baborshop should find a protector." "Are you coming for the protection money?" "Shut up!" "Have you got that?" "That's the deal." "The some percent of the income." "Very cheap." "Pay monthly or seasonly?" "Do you understand my words?" "Introduce some guests here when you are free." "If there's some trouble call me." "This business will be nice." "Is that OK?" "Did you get me?" "How'd it go?" "I'm first in line." "Find any good eel food?" "What are you on about?" "Anything wrong?" "Will you come with me?" "What for?" "It's something I saw." "You are a high school student next year." "How can you not know this." "When you found this..." "Why didn't you call the police?" "I wonder who will be the one." "Was there anything in her purse?" "Sleeping pills and lipstick." "Did you open her purse?" "I didn't touch it." "I didn't touch it." "Who gives a damn?" "Nothing was stolen, right?" "Come on, we reported it!" "I have to cover all possibilities." "What for?" "Is that so?" "Good." "She'll live." "It's good she was found quickly." "They pumped her stomach." "She will be alright." "We'll be in touch if there's anything else." "I'll go to the hospital." "OK." "What a bummer." "It wasn't a murder." "Watch your mouth!" "No pat on the back for the good citizens?" "Watch your mouth!" "No pat on the back for the good citizens?" "Don't be a smart ass." "Come on, I'll show you how to use the spear." "What spear?" "The eel spear I was telling you about." "That..." "That..." "Gone." "Damn." "These days... hardly anyone spears eels anymore." "Only me in these parts." "Got 'in!" "Pull it off." "Did you know that woman..." "Who tried to kill herself?" "No." "No, but she resembled someone..." "Really?" "Who?" "My wife." "We're separated." "Right!" "Game to try your luck?" "What?" "The spear." "I'll hold the light, you spear." "There's one." "Right over there." "There's one." "Right over there." "There you go." "What's wrong?" "What was that for?" "I don't feel comfortable doing it." "I am writing to tell you that your wife" "I wanted to ask you a favor." "I was going to come tomorrow, but the sooner the better." "A favor?" "Yes." "It's about that Miss Hattori." "Miss Hattori?" "I'm sorry for all the trouble." "The policeman said you saved my life." "The policeman said you saved my life." "May we come in?" "Please." "Please accept this, along with my apologies." "Actually, I should thank you, not apologize." "You saved my life." "Thank you very much." "Is this the favor?" "She's looking for work in town," "So I thought of your place." "Here?" "She stayed a few weeks with us." "while she thought things over." "But she doesn't want to return to Tokyo." "Better she works than stays idle." "Naturally she'll be staying at the temple." "I'm sure it will work out." "You've no objection?" "No objections." "But I don't..." "You saved her." "So help her." "If she wants to commit suicide again..." "You cannot watch this." "Yes." "You can pay her as much as you want." "OK?" "Thanks." "She can do the cleaning and cooking." "Do you mind the things that happened in the jail?" "Change the shoes at the door." "Sorry." "Good morning." "Catch anything?" "The door's open." "Okay." "Shall I wash the towels?" "Towels?" "The used ones." "We're running low." "Towels are washed on Tuesdays." "But it's such a nice day." "It's out back, right?" "I worked for a barber as a kid." "I even did shampoos." "Anything else to wash?" "Don't wash anything." "But we have very few clean ones." "And few customers, too." "Are you sure?" "I couldn't find a vase." "I don't like flowers." "No flowers in the shop?" "I didn't say that." "What made you do it?" "I shouldn't have asked." "I fell in love with the wrong person." "I started to think, what's the point in living?" "I probably deserved it." "Punishment for what I'd done." "Good morning." "Hello there." "Not here for a haircut." "What do you make of this?" "You don't like spears, right?" "This won't hurt the eels." "We call this the hole." "Leave it out overnight and pull it up when there's something init." "Just leave 'em out overnight." "This is special." "The length is proper." "Eels won't go in if it's too short." "Just leave 'em out overnight." "The difficuilty is to find a proper plcae." "Wana try?" "Slowly and quietly." "You didn't divorce your wife." "She died, didn't she?" "I lost my wife, too." "I can tell." "Tie it tightly or lose it." "Am I right?" "I've had my fill of women." "One month later" "You are certainly here." "How wide the sky is!" "It's beautiful." "When I had the drug I thought..." "Why is the sky here so blue?" "If I was dead..." "I would be part of this blue sky." "Today's gonna be sunny!" "What are you up to?" "Mr. Yamashita said I could borrow this when he's closed." "Think you can call up a UFO with that?" "They did it in America, in Colorado." "Come on in." "It's an hour's wait." "Please." "Settled in, haven't you?" "Yes." "Some over here, please." "Ok." "Have some potato." "Thank you." "More than just settled in." "He couldn't do without her." "Why?" "Why?" "Look at him." "You like kids, do you Yamashita?" "It's my first time." "Can you give this to Emi?" "It's a concert ticket." "She'll be by to pick it up." "Playing hooky again?" "No," "I'm in the middle of a marathon." "Joji, take along some fried sweet potatoes." "You two seem to be getting along." "Cut it out." "Don't get so upset." "I don't want any rumors." "Please, I'll give you a shampoo." "Too late, word's already out." "Everyone's talking about you two." "Didn't you know?" "I'll go make lunch." "I'm sorry for any trouble." "Trouble?" "You know, the rumors." "involved with a would-be suicide." "Get me the sauce." "I've been meaning to ask you." "Why do you keep that eel?" "An eel suits me." "I'll do them." "That's Ok." "What'll you do if aliens come?" "Make friends with them." "They're constantly watching us." "They only come to those who really want to meet them." "Aren't you really just afraid of making friends with people?" "You're afraid of dealing with people, right?" "Just like you, right?" "You talk to your eel because you don't like people, right?" "No, no." "Like this." "Too fast." "It's too dangerous." "Really?" "Here I am." "We're together since last night." "They're my fellows." "Hi you all." "Come out tonight?" "You agreed." "Ms. Keiko would say if she heard that." "Please help yourself." "We'll be glad." "Honey." "Go there." "Don't disturb us." "Let me go." "Go back." "GO." "She's boring." "Then we go." "Here we go." "Think of it." "Is he chinese?" "No, he's japanese." "Different from you, goat." "The goat you are!" "He is the same with all others." "Like you?" "I write to you again to inform..." "Where's the garbage you wanted removed?" "Excuse me?" "I asked them to come." "That garbage out back." "It's an eyesore." "Back of the building?" "Yes." "Do you know him?" "What happened?" "I cut myself earlier." "It's really nothing." "Come inside." "Hi there." "What happened?" "Sorry, we're closed today." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "You should see a doctor." "A doctor?" "Does it hurt?" "No." "Hold on tight." "You're shaking a lot." "Hold on tighter!" "Hold your wife's hands." "No anesthetic?" "Not for a scratch like this." "Oh!" "So pained." "Keiko's all right." "Nothing serious." "It only took two stitches." "She was impressed with your husband." "She seemed awfully pleased." "Young people!" "Come here." "You say he was in prison with you?" "He's a garbage man, so we'll see a lot of each other." "You're afraid people will find out about your past?" "About Keiko..." "There's nothing between us." "I know that." "Is it bad to have such rumors about a guy on parole?" "No, I'm more concerned about her feelings." "Has she said anything?" "She wants to leave." "What?" "Quit working for me?" "No, she wants to leave here and live at your place." "But she's reluctant to bring it up with you." "What a marvelous device!" "That'll never attract UFOs." "What a fool!" "What makes you think so?" "One may come, maybe." "UFOs don't exist." "TV stations invented them to boost ratings" "At his age he should know better." "I want to see his UFO." "Like a festival, isn't it?" "Masaki really believes a UFO will come." "Why do you want to stay with me?" "Because I've never met anyone like you before." "When I hurt myself..." "No one's ever taken care of me before." "Never like that." "Going fishing tonight?" "Yes." "I'll bring you some food." "A boxed dinner?" "I'll be waiting for you at the Sakura Bridge." "Here it is." "Any eels?" "Probably." "Just a minute." "Two big ones." "They've started coming back." "Homing eels taste best, so they say." "They've fattened up for their long journey." "They're feasting on crabs and shrimp." "That's Masaki's house over there." "The UFO guy." "Isn't that Keiko?" "A little rendezvous, huh?" "No, not really." "So what's she doing there?" "Don't stop the boat." "You sure?" "That'll be 2,000 yen." "Thank you." "Please come again." "Welcome." "I've been looking for you." "He is ...?" "ÎÒI'm a friend of Keiko's." "Eiji Dojima." "Excuse me." "Could you leave us alone?" "How are you, Mom?" "The hospital was dreadful." "Everyone is completely crazy." "Really?" "I like Akita, but not the hospital." "Mom, wait." "You'll get lost again." "Is Dojima still with his wife?" "He says he'll divorce her." "Now's a bad time for loan sharks." "I can help him out with some money." "Don't ever say that to him!" "It'll make things worse." "In one gulp, great!" "I can't do much for you... only 10 or 20 million yen." "Really?" "That'd sure help." "The Carmen of Akita." "That's what they called me." "Mom, that's enough." "Mother, stop!" "Wait." "Wait." "No, no!" "Mama" "Mum." "About Dojima." "The one who came today." "He wants a favor from Mother." "Your mother?" "She's in a hospital in Tokyo." "What's wrong with her?" "It's a mental thing." "I'll bring you another lunch box." "You'd better go home." "Do you know about Yamashita?" "She's there again." "What'll you do?" "It's all we got today ." "Three." "Take it home." "No, thanks." "Do you?" "I don't eat eel." "They would die soon." "Take one." "No, really thanks." "Oh." "Then I'll take them all." "'I'll be free tomorrow.'" "'Be at the floodgate at three o'clock tomorrow.'" "'This is a warning.'" "'You aren't reflecting on your conduct and that's bad.'" "'You're a murderer too, but you're chasing that girl.'" "'You haven't even visited your wife's grave.'" "'Who do you think you are?" "'" "'Every day I sit before the altar,' 'copying sutras, and praying for my dead wife' 'and mother-in-law.'" "Takasaki quit the garbage company and went back home." "No." "That's impossible." "His parole officer called to tell me." "He knew you two corresponded a few times." "He said it was a good thing, it encouraged him to fit back in." "Parole officers know everything." "I'm no different to what I was in prison..." "I'm back here" "Where have you been?" "I had something to do." "Three customers came." "They'll be back." "Have you eaten?" "Hmm." "I made some dinner." "I'll warm it up now." "I don't want anything." "You don't like stew?" "You misunderstand." "Misunderstand what?" "About me." "I'm not the man you think I am." "Because you were in prison?" "You knew?" "Who told you?" "That garbage man who came by the other day." "Do you know why I was in prison?" "I killed my wife." "That was a lie, about us being divorced." "I stabbed her to death." "I'm a murderer." "I tried to forget, but these hands can't." "The blade slashing her flesh..." "Stabbing deep into her body." "How could I forget?" "Why did you do it?" "You surely had a reason." "I want to know everything about you." "It's not your concern." "Go home." "Leave me alone!" "Morning sickness?" "Knocked up by that wife-killer, are you?" "No." "Stop it!" "What a view!" "You slut!" "Don't be so smug, you filthy wife-killer!" "Gynecology Clinic" "How old are you?" "I'm 34." "Your last period was in April?" "Yes." "You're four months pregnant." "Too late for an abortion." "It's highly irregular..." "ÌìPlease." "I just can't have this baby." "I don't recommend one." "You should have it." "That turns me off." "I can't do it." "Should we send her back?" "Let's wait a little longer." "But why?" "Because you need her money?" "Even with the money I send my wife, she won't agree to a divorce" "Yesterday, Mr. Mizumaki..." "Your mother gave me a vibrator." "He introduced me to a creditor named Machida." "If I become his mistress... he'll forget the 1 0 million you owe." "Then what?" "He said you agreed." "Really?" "How can I?" "!" "I feel like giving Mother an overdose of sleeping pills." "And kill myself, too." "I need some peace." "I'm scared that it's hereditary." "If I'm in the way, I'll kill myself!" "Keiko, are you all right?" "It's very late." "Is it a nightmare?" "I'm sorry." "Yes, just a nightmare." "Is it about Mr. Yamashita?" "No, it's nothing..." "Excuse me." "Care for a nip?" "No, I don't drink." "Come on!" "Relax yourself." "Is Keiko taking a holiday?" "Either that or she's quit..." "They used to say there were no female eels." "Only males." "The females carry their eggs 2,000 kilometers or more, way down south." "They only lay when the salinity's right." "2,000 kilometers!" "That's as far as the equator." "The males follow behind." "Most of 'em die right there." "The tiny fry take up to six months to return to Japan." "Most of them die on the way back." "The ocean's full of dead fry." "I saw the paper on your door." "It was that Takasaki." "It wasn't just a sutra." "It was dark, no one else saw it." "I don't trust him." "I ripped it down, anyway." "So no one else would see it." "Is what he wrote true?" "You don't have to tell me." "I couldn't forgive her..." "Because..." "I loved her" "I couldn't help myself." "I often wondered how I could kill the one I loved so much..." "Think it over many times." "I cannot forgive that in any case." "Have another drink." "How?" "How old is she?" "Your dead wife." "31" "How about kids?" "None." "Though I want them very much..." "What a pity." "All people are in sin." "We are all the same." "All dare to communicate with the others." "Become more and more coward." "And cannot step out the memory of the past." "Is that the despising?" "Forget that." "We should face the future." "When I killed Emiko," "I died along withher." "Because of her defection." "I didn't want..." "I couldn't accept anyone else." "When I read that letter..." "That letter?" "I wonder who wrote it?" "What did you do with the letter?" "I threw it away." "Threw it away?" "hrew it away... hrew it away..." "But when?" "Where?" "But maybe... there was no such letter in the first place." "Have you seen Keiko?" "No." "She wasn't feeling well." "And she left this morning." "Have a seat." "She was always worrying about the shop." "We assumed she'd come here." "I thought she'd quit." "Why do you say that?" "I told her about my past." "She naturally ran off." "No." "You've got it all wrong." "But it's only natural." "That's not it." "She loves you." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Mother, shall we go?" "Thank you all for everything." "Where are we going?" "A wonderful place." "Like Akita, but it's not a hospital." "Let's go." "Come on!" "Wrong number." "Please pay by the end of the month." "Welcome." "Vice-president!" "Good morning." "Where are you now?" "In Hachioji." "It's been such a long time." "You have Mother's bank book?" "Yes, I think so..." "Where's the president?" "He's out on an appointment." "And Mizumaki?" "He's with him." "Financial Consultants." "I'm sorry, he's out now." "Her seal, too." "Here you are." "Thank you." "Okay, carry on." "Hey, Yamashita." "The reverend and his wife came by." "He asked me about your girl." "I said I didn't give a shit." "Did you read my sutra?" "No, I threw it away." "Son of a bitch." "I did it for your soul." "You also wrote I'm a killer." "For my soul, too?" "You're supposed to read it!" "Then you'd understand" "It was the middle of the night." "No one else saw it." "I thought you went back home." "Why should I?" "I hear you quit work." "My boss tried to stop me, but he was happy." "People don't like ex-cons." "Stop bothering me." "I've had enough of you." "Got any sake?" "No." "Get out of here!" "Did you know she's pregnant?" "I saw her puking." "Morning sickness." "Got a kid on the way, have ya?" "Get out of here!" "Yeah, okay." "Clean up your act!" "I can't wait to see what the kid's like." "I bet it'll be like this." "You asshole!" "I've been on parole for 3 years." "I've had no luck!" "I copied sutras every day and visited my victim's grave." "But it wasn't worth shit!" "Of course." "What good would that do?" "You bastard!" "You're only acting." "It's not from your heart!" "Bastard!" "What would you know about me?" "In prison you were trained as a barber" "Now you've got a shop, and a girl." "Fucking's better than sutras, huh?" "She isn't my girl, you fool!" "Fuck you!" "You're such a smart-ass." "You're the smart-ass." "Those prayer beads!" "Just another act." "An ex-con with no job or no money needs prayer beads." "This is bullshit!" "Praise Buddha!" "Is this what you want?" "You make me laugh!" "Your shit don't stink!" "You make a slut pregnant!" "You're like a little schoolboy!" "Why keep bothering me?" "I'm sick of you." "I get it." "You must be lousyin bed." "What?" "I said, you couldn't give a good fuck if you tried!" "You found your wife with another man." "That hurt!" "You could only fuck her like a kid." "You're a lousy lay." "You saw that guy fucking her like an expert, it made you crazy, so you killed her." "You never fucked anyone but her, you little schoolboy!" "Hey, Yamashita!" "You think jealousy is wrong, don't you?" "It's jealousy, no matter what kind of act you put on." "You're only human." "I'm a real man!" "I want to fuck a woman." "I hate this bullshit, schoolboy crap!" "I'll rape some chick and go back to prison." "Reciting a sutra between the warm thighs of a woman." "So long, you little schoolboy fuck-up!" "All praise to Buddha..." "Sorry for just leaving." "I had a lot to do." "Sorry for the trouble." "Where have you been?" "Come on inside." "I'm very sorry." "A man calling himself Dojima dropped by earlier." "He was looking for you." "Some financial problem, he said." "He went to Yamashita's place." "Yamashita's place?" "I'm really sorry for everything." "This is my mother's bank book and her seal." "Can you keep them for me?" "We can do that, but how much is in there?" "Thirty million yen." "It was outrageous of me, but it is Mother's money." "I'm vice-president, so I just took it." "It's a fortune!" "How is your mother?" "She's going back to Akita." "Why throw her out?" "But I didn't." "Did someone come to visit her?" "Where is she now?" "I don't know" "Why throw her out?" "But I didn't." "It's almost as if you did." "This place needs Keiko." "Everyone knows that without Keiko the service here is lousy." "Keiko broke into my office and stole 30 million yen." "Where is she?" "We are asking him." "I wouldn't tell you if I knew!" "This is serious business." "Where's Keiko?" "Bring her here!" "We don't know where she is." "Yes, you do." "Masaki, go get the cops!" "She stole my money." "I want it back." "I don't know." "You're free to search the place, but she's not here." "Find her!" "You go look out back." "You go upstairs." "The thing is..." "I checked up on you." "You're on parole, aren't you?" "This is my lawyer, Naito." "You shouldn't get involved in this kind of trouble." "You already served eight years." "You want to go back?" "Are you threatening me?" "It's in your best interests." "Come quick!" "A man called Dojima barged into Yamashita's place." "I'd better go." "I'll come, too." "I'm going, too." "I'll get the car." "Awano, take over here!" "Yes." "She's not here." "Beat him." "We told you she's not." "Now fuck off!" "Get out!" "Stay back!" "Who are you?" "I'm a friend of them both." "You bastards!" "There's no need for violence!" "I'll bring Keiko to court for theft." "You don't want any cops, do you?" "I couldn't care less." "Hey, boss!" "What are you doing here?" "What are you talking about?" "You stole my money!" "That money isn't yours." "It was to be invested in my new company." "I've got papers to prove it.You saw them." "It belongs to my mother." "So go ahead, sue me." "I'd love to!" "Your loony mother will make a great witness!" "We have power of attorney." "Return the money." "Why should I let you have it?" "It's all she's got left." "Who gives a shit!" "She's an investor." "I've got the papers!" "Return those papers to her." "What's that?" "Yamashita" "No need to get involved." "Return the power of attorney." "Are you crazy?" "Return it to her." "No way." "What's it to be?" "Yes, or no?" "What's with you?" "She's only worth fucking!" "You bastard!" "You stay out of it!" "Look carefully, officer." "It's me being violent." "Okay, stop it." "That's enough." "Everyone, stop it!" "That's enough!" "Where's my money, bitch?" "Stop it!" "It's all her doing!" "Where did you hide my money?" "Tell me the truth." "She threw herself at me, too." "You're both fucking crazy!" "Don't stop me." "Damn you!" "You bitch!" "Yamashita!" "Stop it!" "Stop it, I said!" "Keiko's pregnant!" "You're all fixed." "Pregnant with my kid?" "No way!" "It's not yours!" "Then, is it his?" "Yes, it's mine!" "Fuck you!" "Stop it now!" "What have I done!" "I'm sorry!" "You mongrel!" "Lady!" "That's enough!" "Get out of my way!" "It's my baby." "Police Station" "How did it go?" "The power of attorney has no signature." "The money belongs to your mother after all." "And Mr. Yamashita?" "No charges against Takada." "But as for Yamashita, there'll be a parole violation hearing." "Too see if the parole will be cancelled." "He'll have to wait four or five days." "I'll be in touch." "I'm sorry." "Does your head still hurt?" "No, I'm okay." "It doesn't hurt anymore." "I got you into this." "I did it on my own." "We decided to have a party tonight." "All of us?" "To shed the bad luck and celebrate your lady's pregnancy." "Takuro Yamashita and Keiko Hattori are having a baby." "Celebrate my pregnancy?" "Sorry." "Everyone thinks it's yours." "It must bother you." "They'd decided anyway." "I just confirmed it." "I'll have an abortion." "Don't." "Have the baby." "The reverend can sit in the middle." "Look." "Come on, Masaki!" "Where are you going, Yuji?" "Where are you going?" "C'mon, applaud!" "Mr. Yamashita, dance with me." "Come on." "First a brat..." "Next a murderer..." "What a pervert." "There were no letters." "Jealousy made you hallucinate." "Finally I've become like you." "I'll raise a kid by some unknown father." "Your mother laid her eggs near the equator." "Anonymous sperm fertilized them to life." "Nobody knows the sperm came from which fish." "Nobody knows your father." "But you're still a fantastic eel." "Sacrificing themselves, they escort the babies back to Japan." "Those who are born should be cared for, right?" "Time to say good-bye." "Farewell." "My statement should carry some clout." "You'll soon be free again." "Thank you." "How long do you think?" "About a year, I reckon." "Can we stop on the way?" "Sure." "We'll wait here." "Can we borrow the flagpole?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Take good care of yourself." "Can I wait for you?" "Wait until you come back?" "Take good care of the baby." "We'll both be waiting for you." "Did you know that eels travel far?" "What's that?" "They travel as far as the equator then return to the mud here." "They live in the places they like." "You think they'll come?" "Who?" "The flying saucers." "If you put your heart into it, I'm sure they will."
