Ahh... that feels good.

Eh... the breeze is nice.

What you said... wasn't nice.

I never pressured you to marry me.

When I want to end it... I will end our relationship.

You're heartless.

No more money, no more us then?

Well, I suppose that's right.

After all... it was money that bound us together.

Listen Kimicho...

I don't want us to break up.

I'll show you I can still make money.

I've still got good connections among the brokers.

Look...

I beg you. Let's stay as we are.

I want you gone please. Thank you.

Goodbye.

Hey!

Wait!

What is it?

Is that the best farewell you can squeeze out?

Please don't make a scene.

I gave you my body after all.

Come on. Please.

Don't be ridiculous. Let go of me!

Thank you. - You're welcome.

Mama-san, good evening.

Mr. Yamashita!

Thank you for waiting.

Good evening. - Come.

Thank you for coming.

Kimicho...

he's waited so long... he's annoyed now.

Oh Mr. Yamashita, please forgive me.

You were with some handsome fellow, am I right?

Please don't tease!

Look into my eyes.

Do I look like I was!

You can sit there feigning innocence...

but your face doesn't lie!

No...

If you look more closely... you'll see it says, "Yamashita".

Thank you. I must be going.

Well, I'll leave you two alone.

Come closer. - Okay.

I'm so sorry I kept you waiting.

Will you forgive me? - It's okay...

though it was a whole hour.

Ah right... I brought what I promised. - Eh?

No... did you really bring that?

I promised you I would... and I'm a man of my word.

50,000. Keep it safe.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You shocked me calling my work.

That's something you musn't do.

I suddenly wanted to see you. I couldn't help myself.

I've run the business 20 years and never done anything like this.

If people knew I'd be ruined.

Which is more important... me or the business?

Both are equally important. - Oh no you don't!

I want you to say it out loud.

You should know the answer. What more can I say?

You're asking little me?

I just wanted to hear you say it. - Hey... come here.

Kimicho? - Yes?

Oh no... there's lipstick! - Where?

A phone call from home. Can you take it. - Yes, thanks.

Hello?

Ah Sis... it's Taeko.

Mum says come home straight away!

Ah... what is it?

Mr. Watanabe? - Who is it?

Any problem? - No, it's nothing.

Did he come again?

I told her not to see him.

There's no point complaining to me. Hurry home.

Miss Taeko, I'm leaving.

Where's your customer?

At the Suzumura.

Can you drop in on my sister...

and tell her to come quickly.

Yes, of course.

Fukuya... shouldn't you eat first?

Thank you but... I'll eat later.

If you're not feeling well, you don't have to go.

Yes... thanks. It's nothing much.

That cough of hers... it's getting really bad.

I have no right to ask, but I'm pleading.

I asked around... everyone says you are... my only hope.

Thanks for that.

You can rest assured... I'll do whatever I can.

I'm so relieved to hear you say that.

Thank you so much.

There's no need... to bow low like that.

It'll take me... 3 or 4 days to get the money.

Thank you.

Then... can I rely on it? - Yes.

I must be going.

Just a moment - Yes?

These sweets aren't much, but... for your son.

Miss Kimicho... I'd hoped to see her too.

I'll come back later. - Yes, do.

Here you are. - Thank you.

I'm sorry for taking your time.

I should thank you for your time. - No at all.

Give my best wishes to your father. - I will.

Excuse me. - Goodbye.

Mother!

You turned him down, right?

When did you get back?

Why didn't you show your face? He wanted to see you.

Just his face makes me feel sick.

Begging for money, wasn't he?

So what did you tell him?

Knowing you, you tried to be nice, didn't you?

I'm the only one he can rely on.

I couldn't be so cold to him.

It's not about being cold-hearted.

You can't spend money you don't have!

200,000 yen... Where'll we get our hands on that much?

If you think about it, it's impossible.

The company's bankrupt. The staff ran off with the cash.

He's left with his back to the wall.

If he can't get a loan... he will probably go to prison.

If he's really facing police and maybe prison...

why expect us... to take on a debt... of 200,000.

What kind of logic is there in that?

As far as that goes... you shouldn't forget...

Hideo isn't just anyone... he is your half-brother.

And I'm the mistress's child.

Sister...! That's enough! Don't talk like that.

You can keep quiet!

Mother...

when old Mr. Watanabe died...

wasn't it then... our relationship ended.

They cut us off.

The Watanabe's are complete strangers now.

I suppose that's so...

You really make me angry sometimes...

Surely you aren't happy about this?

Turn us upside down and nothing'll come out but a nosebleed.

If I mortgage the house I could probably get the money.

How can you be so stupid!

If we didn't have this house... what would become of us?

Mother and daughters...

sleeping under the Donguri bridge like vagrants!

Mama-san!

Something terrible's happened! Miss Fukuya collapsed.

What...? Miss Fukuya?

What happened?

Ah... while dancing at the Suzukiro...

she coughed up blood! - Blood?

She's been taken to the hospital.

They want you right away.

I'll go and see.

That poor girl! I wonder what happened.

Nothing but bad news!

Hello?

Yes it is. It's Kimicho.

I'd be delighted to take part. Thank you very much.

Sis!

Sister!

Enough already. What do you want?

Today... he's telling his mother.

We can get married now, can't we?

Then stop talking about it and get on with it.

Good morning! - Morning.

Good morning. - Morning.

Isn't that Taeko from the Nanoya?

She's turned into a good looking woman.

She works in the city tourism department.

What a waste that is!

Why didn't they make her a geisha?

Good morning!

Good morning!
