What? It dropped below 25 cents?

And?

W, what happened?

Yeah. What?

A major investor sold off?

Sold off?

Dear...

what's wrong?

Jesus.

- It took a dive. - What?

We're finished.

Done for.

- What should we do? - Crashed.

What're you doing?

Mariko! Hurry!

Mariko!

Let go. Let go!

Let me die. Let me die!

Dad! Don't be stupid!

- Let go! - Stop it!

What's going on, Mom?

Dad!

I can't go on.

Dad! Come on, buck up!

I have no choice.

Dad!

Dad!

Why?

I have to return the money by the end of this month.

That's it? Not much to die over.

Don't be gutless. Sort things out!

- Mom! - It's 200,000 dollars!

Dad!

Dear!

Dad, pull yourself together.

You could ask them to wait a bit longer.

I'm known as a tough buyer

one buyout after another.

I made that reputation on trades.

How could someone like me

beg my competitors for a favor?

Beg as much as it takes!

It's better than dying!

But... Uchiyama is

merciless when it comes to money.

- He's cruel. - He's still human,

let's ask him.

Let's give it a try!

Chin up, Dad. I'll quit school and start working.

It's okay, we'll start from scratch.

Dad!

Mighty Ken's broke, huh?

What do you want to ask me?

I must tell you that the loan's still due this month, got it?

About that Mr. Uchiyama, I need more time.

Have you forgotten what you said?

"Loan plus interest within the month,"

"I'm Ken the Trader, I'll stake my life on it."

You remember?

Mr. Uchiyama, I'm ashamed but here I am, I'm begging you.

You've conned your business partner.

- What? - That's right.

Show me you're a man and keep your word.

The end of this month, and not one day later.

Mr. Uchiyama.

We understand the deadline.

But he's so ashamed of what happened.

Last night he tried to hang himself!

Leaving the debt and dying? How selfish!

Mr. Uchiyama,

considering his current state, could we have six more months?

Ma'am, your husband is quite a speculator.

Couldn't he pull together such a small sum?

Of course we tried a few places

but he's not much of a popular figure with anybody.

Without your help, the whole family might as well die!

Please, Mr. Uchiyama.

Come on, Dear.

You are our only hope.

If there's anything at all we could do.

Mr. Sakata.

I might extend your loan.

What? Really?

- Lend me your wife. - Huh?

Then I'll consider it.

What do you mean?

If you lend me her body.

What? Don't be ridiculous!

A sacrifice from you, too. That's not asking so much, is it?

Shame on you!

I've not fallen so low that I would sell my wife!

Okay, fine. Then no deal.

Dear...

He's making a fool of us.

If my body could be of some use.

Ridiculous!

Think of Mariko.

I don't care about us,

but Mariko.

No!

Is there any other way?

Mr. Uchiyama,

if you'll have me.

Fine. Get yourself ready.

- In here? - Yeah.

With your husband next door.

Stop it,

please stop.

I can't...

I can't...

I can tell you had some fun, too. Right?

Pays to bargain, I guess.

We're done now, right?

About the deal.

I'll give you six months, but is that enough time?

Think he'll be on his feet?

Doesn't seem like it to me, does it?

He says he'll find a way.

What kind of crazy people would lend money to a broke stock-trader?

Right?

Listen to me.

Just pay me the interest for the time being.

What's the catch?

Well, it's my son.

My son, he's a bit crazy.

Poor kid,

he's never been with a woman.

No, thank you.

Just once.

Pair up with him once, will you?

- No, I won't. - I beg you.

Fine! Three years for the loan!

And interest-free for 12 months!

Come on, please?

You've already slept with me. What difference will it make?

Just once, yeah? I beg you, please?

Here...

This way.

Come.

Come inside.

Don't worry.

Hiroshi.

Hiroshi?

One look at Itaro from Itako and you knew

he was a cruel wanderer...

Hiroshi?

Hiroshi?

Are you warm enough?

Yeah? That's good.

There you go, that's a good boy.

Yeah? Okay, okay.

- I'm going home! - Ma'am, he's a good kid.

He got good grades at school.

He was just a bit shy.

- Help him, please? - Sorry, but...

Come on, Ma'am.

Help him, please? I'm begging you.

Please.

I'll leave you to it.

Hello, Sakata residence.

What? The police?

Yes, that's my mother.

What, dead?

She's dead?

What? What happened?

- Dad, you idiot! - What happened?

Mom died, they said she died!

Died?

Died?

Run over by a car.

It's your fault! You killed her!

You idiot!

Idiot!

Dad? What's wrong?

Come on, Dad!

Are you okay?

Dad? What's going on?

Dad, Dad.

Dad!

You okay?

Dad, I'm going to make big money.

I'll get revenge on Uchiyama.

I'll avenge mother's death!

Mark my word.

- Hey, lend me 30 dollars? - No way.

You've got 100 loan already.

Maybe next week.

Machiko,

join me for dinner?

You paying?
