You can have this house.

I'll go and live somewhere else.

You can come back here to live.

You're being pushy, as usual. Don't expect me to thank you.

I know you're afraid of this house.

Hello. My name is Yasuda. Is the caretaker around?

I've been waiting for you. I'm in charge of the apartments.

Come inside. You've come a long way.

Nagoya maybe a bit warmer than it is here.

Five boxes arrived containing your things. I put them in your room.

Mrs. Yokoyama, this is your new neighbor, Mr. Yasuda.

How do you do?

Come in.

Step inside.

Coming.

"She is no longer the young woman she once was."

"She is quite lost, anxious and Ionely..."

"Hey, you! Hey, Angel! Hey, blue sky! Matsutaro."

Koji, take my shoes off!

Can't you do it yourself?

The bar's closed already.

This isn't the bar. It's your home.

Koji.

Get the hell out of here!

Koji, what are you waiting for?

"Yasuda"

Hello.

Hi, there.

What are you looking at?

He ain't her husband. It's her jobless boyfriend.

He's just one of the men she's had.

She's supposed to work at a bar, but who knows...

When she moved in, she was still with her husband.

Things began to fall apart when they had the kid.

Mr. Yokoyama seemed to love the kid though,

but he walked out on her a couple of years ago.

Would you mind handing me those?

See the seedlings? There.

Thanks.

The kid doesn't even go to kindergarten.

I don't understand parents nowadays.

Stupid.

Die.

What do you want?

Uh, hello.

I told you not to suck your thumb!

"Family Crisis, over 32,000 child abuse consultations"

Akiko!

Don't!

The daughter of a school principal does not shoplift!

Aren't you capable of raising her? What kind of mother are you?

Don't! Don't hurt her, please!

Harvesting the vegetables already?

What! Isn't it obvious?

That brat from upstairspulled them out.

Mrs. Yokoyama?

Mrs. Yokoyama?

I told you already. Don't touch my money!

But honey... I really need some money.

Get your hands off that! Give it back to me!

This is the last time.

Give it back!

Give it back to me now!

Let go of it!

I'll pay you back.

Pay me back now then!

Stop whining!

Shut up!

Ouch...

Give it back to me.

Let go of me.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I'm so sorry, forgive me.

I don't know what to do anymore.

You have to forgive me please.

Mom. Stop it, Mom!

Mother!

Don't apologize to this man.

You were watching me, weren't you?

He took everything away from me.

I can't go to work with my face like this.

Could you lend me some money?

Call the police.

I'll testify that he is violent and dangerous.

It's a criminal offense and you're a victim.

What are you saying?

If you want something in exchange for money,

I'll make you an offer.

Please stop.

Stop it.

Can't even get it up. Old man!

It's not what you think!

It's not what it seemed.

It's not...

What's this?

How about we draw some cute animals?

See?

Isn't it nice that I'm drawing with you?

Nobody ever took care of me like this.

In ten years, you'll be a good-Iooking woman.

Don't get turned on by a kid!

You're not innocent either!

Stop that!

Stop it!

You're killing her!

Stop...

Stop it!

She'll die!

Let go of her!

Just for a little bit.

Don't sleep there.

It's not good for you.

You'll catch a cold.

I guess your Mom isn't coming home tonight.

She's not coming home.

Oh, well, I'll tuck you in.

Did she hurt you again?

Poor thing.

You poor, poor thing.

Come back, brat!

Come out. You can't hide.

What are you?

Wait!

Where the hell are you, brat?

Poor little one... We have to make a grave.

Put it in.

This one has passed away.

Let's pray for it so it goes to heaven.

Wait right here.

I'll be right back.

Wait for me.

Do you want to go back home?

or do you want to come with me?

Where the sky is blue...

Where cotton candy clouds float...

and a white bird soars in the sky.

What shall we have?

Macaroni? Hamburg steak?

They have a kids menu too.

I want a melon cake.

A melon cake.

They don't have it. How about a Hamburg steak?

Melon cake!

Are you ready to order?

Two Hamburg steaks.

Two Hamburg steaks.

Do you want a set?

Yes, please.

Do you want rice or bread?

Rice, please.

Two sets with rice.

Let me take your menus away.

I haven't even asked your name.

My name is Matsutaro Yasuda. What's yours?

Brat.

No, your name...

Brat!

Here are your Hamburg steak sets.

What's wrong?

Pain.

What?

Pain!

Does your stomach hurt?

What the...

Why don't you take a bath?

Brat, to the bath.

Your feet are dirty and you smell.

Not until you take a bath.

Behave or I'll leave you behind.

Don't touch me!

You shit!

Don't touch me!

What is it? Do you need to go to the toilet?

Sachi.

Sachi.

Oh, so you're Sachi.

You're little Sachi.

Are you going to leave me?

Of course I won't.

We made a promise.

We're going to find a blue sky,

and a white bird.

Really?

Yes.

Are you Koji Mizuguchi?

Yes.

When did she disappear?

He says that it was at midnight. I was at work so I don't know.

I was out cold. I'd been drinking so I don't remember...

Are you two married?

No...

What happened to your head?

I... I tripped and fell.

I was drunk. It's nothing serious.

Why did it take you two days to report her missing?

This isn't the first time she's run away.

We haven't had a ransom call or anything.

Is there anyone she would turn to?

I don't know. She's too strange to make friends.

Where does she usually play?

I don't know.

Has anything changed lately?

What was she wearing then?

Don't you know anything about your own child?

Don't tell me what I should know about my kid.

Mind your own business!

You're the police. Go and look for her!

Find the kidnapper. Don't waste our tax money!

Would you call her a mother?

If she doesn't turn up by morning, we'll start looking.

Yes, sir.

Do you want to try?

I'll show you how.

Your turn.

Aren't you hungry?

How much for two?

500 yen each.

There you go.

Sachi!

Sachi.

You must be starving.

Here you go.

You said you wouldn't leave me!

Sorry.

It's my fault.

I'm sorry.

The building's too old. Nobody wants to move in.

They are thinking of building something else here.

Rooms 203 and 204 are unoccupied.

Since when?

Half a year ago... Maybe a year. You want to look inside?

No, we don't need to.

Mrs. Yokoyama left a while ago.

Come in.

He's a decent man. Used to be a school principal in a big city.

Abe.

Take a look at 203 and 204. Just in case.

Alright. Follow me.

The man who lived here was divorced. His wife left him.

He lived here with his son, but they left half a year ago.

"Hey, you! Hey, Angel!"

"Hey, blue sky! Matsutaro."

I didn't know what to do! That was an illegal entry!

Illegal? That old lady wouldn't have any idea about the law.

You're missing the point.

Abe, do you understand?

Detective Iwai.

It's got to be the boyfriend.

The neighbors heard his drunken raving that night.

Sachi, the 5-year-old missing girl. She used to go to daycare.

They had a school play.

What do you want?

Mom.

What are you talking about?

Give me more! More!

I don't know what you're saying!

The play was called, "Angel's Pants." She was looking forward to it.

Angel's Pants...

On a perfect laundry day

An angel washed her underpants

She finished washing them They were nice and clean

So she hung the pants to dry and took a little nap

Suddenly a breeze blew across the sky

Blowing away the angel's pants

Like white petals spiraling down

The angel's pants flew out of her life

Enough already!

When are you going to stop? The play's over already!

Are you hungry?

I'll be back with some bread. Wait here.

Check this out!

This is classic.

"A Night with an Enchantress and Magic!"

They must be joking.

"Enchantment guaranteed!"

Cool wings.

Can you open it?

The next train's coming.

Aren't you getting on?
