I AM WAITING

Excuse me.

What are you doing here so late?

Why are you here?

I'm not sure.

Please leave me alone. - Don't be foolish.

Where do you live?

It's cold, isn't it? And you're soaked.

Come with me.

You don't have to worry.

Let's get you warmed up.

Then you can decide what you want to do.

The rain is cold at night.

Come in.

What are you doing?

Don't just stand there. Come over here.

This will warm you up.

Make yourself at home.

This is my restaurant.

No one else is here now.

What shall I cook for you?

But first, drink this.

How is it?

You'll feel warm in a bit.

Your clothes are wet. You can change in the other room.

I only have men's clothes, but that's better than being wet.

Want to take off your coat?

I can dry it in the kitchen.

Here you go.

Here's a towel.

What's wrong?

You look so tired.

Here. This will calm you down.

Maybe you're right.

I'm just exhausted.

What happened?

A lot of things.

I won't ask any more questions.

I didn't mean that.

- It's just that even if I tell you - - Yeah.

Even if you tell me, all I can do is get you more food.

Go ahead. Before it gets cold.

This is good.

Who are you?

I'm a canary

that's forgotten how to sing.

You're not just tired.

You're afraid of something.

Are you hiding from someone?

You can trust me.

I live here by myself.

Except for a cook who works here.

I'm leaving the country pretty soon.

- Leaving Japan? - Yeah.

As soon as I receive a letter from my brother in Brazil.

When I do, I'll close this place and be on my way.

To Brazil?

Yeah.

There's nothing here for me anymore.

I'll be long gone.

So you can tell me anything.

Talking about it might make you feel better.

But -

But it's too late now.

I may have killed someone.

Killed someone?

Yes.

I must have.

I must have killed him.

That's right.

I killed him.

But I got tired before I got scared.

Nothing in life is important to me.

You have a dream.

I have nothing.

Will you get me my coat?

Why?

It looks dry.

I'd better go.

Thank you for everything.

Are you going back out into the rain? Don't.

You can stay here tonight and figure things out tomorrow.

Besides, you don't know if the guy's really dead.

And if he is, it will be in tomorrow's paper.

You can decide what to do then. Okay?

You're welcome here.

You need a good night's sleep.

You said you were tired.

But -

You're here. You might as well rest here tonight.

Use the bed in the other room. I'll sleep here.

Okay? Come on.

Sleep well.

How are you feeling? You were sleeping like a baby.

Thank you for everything.

"Thank you for everything"? Know where you're going?

- I have to go now. - Wait.

How about breakfast?

No mention of a dead guy in the paper.

We can check the evening edition later.

I won't stop you, but where are you going?

You can't go back, can you?

You don't know if I'll be there to rescue you again.

That's my restaurant.

You can stay there until things are settled.

Hello there.

Is the coffee ready for Doctor Uchiyama?

Shoot. The morning rush is here.

She's a nice girl.

Where did you find her?

You've got good taste in women.

- Good to be young, huh? - Give me a break.

It's not like that.

I should go now.

Miss, what's your name again?

Saeko.

Miss Saeko. I see.

So?

Nothing in the paper, right?

Everything's fine. Stop worrying.

- Doctor? - Huh?

How long does it take for mail to be delivered to Brazil?

Three or four days, I think.

Depends on the destination.

It's a rural area.

- A rural area? - Yes.

It's a town called Porto Peria.

Oh. Your brother is there, right?

What's this mark? What does this mean?

Oh, today is the day. Time flies, doesn't it?

What is it?

It was a year ago today -

It's been a year since his brother left Japan.

He's supposed to let you know when he buys the farmland, right?

Well, I got tired of waiting and wrote three letters.

But I haven't heard from him.

Well, maybe he's become successful.

Maybe he'll show up here tomorrow to pick you up in person.

That would be great.

I can't wait.

You want to go there that bad, huh?

There's nothing here for me anymore.

I understand.

But you shouldn't let the past consume you.

You must forgive yourself and move on.

Brazil isn't exactly close.

I'll miss you, my friend.

Are you going to start fighting again?

No. I'll never fight again.

What happened?

Uh-oh.

You even made a mess of your clothes.

Here.

On September 1 st,

the lightweight championship match was held at Shiba Sports Center.

The rookie Taniguchi took the title away from Komatsu

in a seventh-round knockout.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

Where have you been? I was worried about you.

Move.

Move, I said.

Come on.

Who is that guy? What is he to you?

None of your business.

We've been looking for you.

My brother is mad.

I don't care.

You're still under contract.

All I agreed to do was sing. Nothing more.

I fell down the stairs. That's my story.

No one's going to care. Come on.

What are you doing? Leave me alone.

What are you doing?

- I'll scream. - You don't have to.

Hey. Leave her alone.

Who the hell are you?

- I'm her brother. - Liar.

- Then you tell me. - She works at my place.
