- It took a while, didn't it? - Yes, but it's almost over.
After this, I'll take a three day break.
- Let's split up. - OK.
Ishizuka!
- How is he? - Dead.
I can't find it!
At the restaurant!
Look, old man, confess.
You're not involved in this, are you?
We don't want to falsely accuse you.
I know you're not guilty.
Let's just say it was an accident.
An unfortunate accident.
They made you do it.
I understand that. So?
That briefcase, you just have to tell us where it is.
Look, old man, don't you worry about your family?
We can protect them.
Just tell me one thing... tell me where it is. Please... OK?
By tomorrow...
the drug could be spread all over Japan.
Hundreds of people are going to ruin their lives...
and go through the torments of Hell.
Real zombies.
There are so many of them here in Yokohama.
So, old man?
Don't you feel bad for them?
You think things are better this way?
It disgusts me...
I can't tolerate those enemies of society!
That's why I'm pursuing this case.
Do you understand?
Your testimony is crucial.
Society can be better.
Try to understand me.
Tell me something!
My daughter...
she must be worried.
Tofu salesman!
- I'm sorry! - Hello.
What is it?
Are you Miss Hiraoka?
You want to speak with me?
Your father is at the police station.
Has he been drinking again? I'm sorry. Please, come in.
It's time for me to go to the factory.
That should teach him a lesson!
My father is sensitive to the cold; please give this to him.
And some miso soup.
He loves miso soup.
Do you want some?
- It's delicious. - With pleasure. - Good!
Here.
- Very good! - Really?
It's making me all warm inside!
My father doesn't want me to work at the factory.
He says he's going to work for both of us, until I get a more feminine job.
But he drinks all the time, and I love this job.
Instead of sitting all day in an office, it's better to be on the move.
- And your mother? - She's dead.
Daddy was a player - that hurt her a lot.
But he's a good man. When I asked him to work, he did everything for me.
Don't be too hard on him!
I'm corrupting you!
With some miso soup!
You're funny! Look at me - all I do is laugh and talk.
Usually, I'm quieter.
What's the matter?
- Come on! - What a cute couple!
Be happy! But don't be late!
- 1 got it. - Thank you. - I'm late!
Goodbye, and thank you very much!
Mikami...
He's a top-notch policeman. An Olympic shooting champion.
After this case, he'll get promoted.
He's enthusiastic.
He'll do anything to make you talk.
Me, I started from nothing.
I understand the suffering of the poor.
I won't harm you.
Do you want to talk to me?
In front of an honest man, like myself...
do you wish to confess?
Your daughter is worried about your health.
Don't you feel bad for her?
So, old man...
if you don't come clean, you'll be considered a drug dealer.
And then what will happen to your daughter?
It's for her that... I don't know anything.
You fool! How many times do I have to repeat it?
You're the one who doesn't understand.
Some news from headquarters - the chief wants to talk to you.
Can you go?
I know you're afraid of those drug dealers...
because they're as cruel as snakes.
But...
are they really going to believe...
that you didn't talk to us?
You're in too deep in this now.
Several months ago, a boy was killed just after being released.
He didn't confess, either.
They may already be with your daughter...
Come on, let's go.
Stop, Hiraoka, don't move!
Don't move or I'll shoot!
The problem now is to find out...
whether or not the killing was intentional.
Mikami is a crack Olympic marksman.
He shot the victim through the heart with one bullet.
In one word, when you fired,
did you intend to kill him or not?
Not at all.
In that case, how are you going to prove it?
An ambitious officer goes beyond the limits during an interrogation, and spooks the victim...
- The outcome? - Intentional or not?
He defended me.
An innocent man is dead. Who's to blame?
WE MOVED AWAY...
We've been transferred to the country.
We brought some incense for your father.
There is no way of expressing...
the sorrow in my heart...
over this unfortunate accident.
"Accident"?
You don't feel guilty, do you?
I don't forgive you.
Accident or not, my father will never come back.
It's your fault!
It's good for no one.
Four years later...
Oh, it's snowing...
It will snow a lot.
- Our work is over. - See you in the springtime!
Mr Damu, wait for us...
All Japan is a construction site.
- Sun and rice; we always have them. - And the women too!
What?
In the north of the country,
near the end of the Spring,
we alone...
had gazed at ..
The distant floating clouds...
with the wish of dying,
together.
Beyond the sky,
we could have travelled,
with the wish of dying,
together.
Beyond the sky,
we could have travelled...
It's been a while.
I'm detective Tsuchiya.
What a journey to get here! A drink for me, too.
That's good; I feel better already.
I came on a rickety, bumpy truck, in that deadly cold.
What do you want?
I came for you.
A good thing that I found you: you would probably have been gone tomorrow.
And I would have been forced to search even longer.
I have no business with anybody.
Don't say that.
I'm going to bed. Workers get up early.
Great... We'll leave this place together tomorrow.
Do you know what Ishizuka is up to now?
After you left, he became rich.
He left the police force and opened a supermarket.
He did well for himself. Now, he's the biggest businessman in Yokohama.
But where did he get the money from?
He was just a small-time officer, who didn't have any billionaire aunts.
Do you know anything about that?
That's good news. A real success story.
Do you remember, four years ago?
That story could be worth a lot of money.
For those who take care of that kind of business,
silencing the old man was all they needed to be safe.
A bribe is nothing for them.
You shut up, or I'll throw you overboard!
I"m not talking about you. You're not smart enough. Look at you!
But with Ishizuka, it's a different story.
Stop!
Get down!
- Get down! - What are you doing?
Wait! Wait for me!
Let's go!
So here you are... it was hard to find you again.
It was horrible to be lost in the mountains.
Why are you following me?
I want to know the truth about what happened.
- I forgot everything. - It's my job to help you remember.
They lied to you and you're wasting your youth.
At first, I thought you were his accomplice...
so I investigated you, but you weren't involved.
If you run away from the past by living like a wanderer,
even if it is Ishizuka who's behind all this...
- Do you have any proof? - None.
It was me who fired.
The nice life that Ishizuka's living is the proof.
I'll take you back to Yokohama, then you can ask him yourself.
You're a good fellow, but you're stupid.
You say you're content with this life,
while he enjoys success, a beautiful woman and wealth.
And all because of you.
Asshole!
Hit me! If that helps you get back those four years!
Well? I expect you to come back to Yokohama,
to take your life back.
I'll wait.
I'm coming. Wait a moment.
How do you do?
Mr Ishizuka.
Long time, no see.
How are you?
You look well...
The acacia flowers...
have lost their petals,
where is the girl...
of my dreams?
Like the red handkerchief...
in the pocket of my jacket,
in my heart. _.
You remain...
forlornly...
Go on, something happy now!
What a strange singer!
Come out for a moment.
You've got guts, coming in here.
Alright, I could use some fresh air.
Son of a bitch! Shit!
Mikami?!
I"m staying. I'll sing if I want to.
Asshole!
Shit! The cops!
Mikami! Call an ambulance!
Hang on, Mikami! It's Hankichi!
Mikami! When did you come back?
Have you seen him?
Ishizuka...
That's why you're drunk, isn't it?!
She wore a fur coat...
No, it can't be...
- She was so pure. - ll see...
You loved her.
- Madam, a police officer is here to see you. - To see me?
Madam, you take care of your garden yourself?
I love to work like that.
You're doing well.
- Do you want to come inside? - No, thank you.
Mikami came back to Yokohama.
- I know. - Did you see him?
Last night, he fought with some yakuza.
He was badly hurt; I took him to the hospital.
Why are you telling me this?
Mikami's closest friends are you and your husband.
Rather than talk to your husband,
I prefer to speak with you.
Which hospital is he in?
Do you want to pay him a visit?
Ishizuka knows very well that he was a great police officer.
After that accident, he lost all hope.
He allowed himself to fall into desperation, and has lived a tortured existence ever since.
KYOSAI HOSPITAL
Be quiet!
- Where is Mr Mikami? - Over there.
Good afternoon!
Mr Mikami!
These are from my greenhouse...
they smell very good!
What do you want?
You didn't want me to come?
I'm here to beg you to forget about the past.
I was young...
I lost my temper and unfairly accused you.
Forget all about this, please.
It deeply hurts me to see you tortured because of the past.
- It's my problem. - No!
If you don't get over this, I won't ever find peace.
So I have to get over this for your own peace of mind?
You've changed...
Mr Tsuchiya is also worried about you.
Tsuchiya?
Did he tell you why I came back?
He told me about your wanderings during those four years.
That Tsuchiya!
He searched for me for some time and set everything up for us to meet.
But why?
Ishizuka and... no...
your husband and I, for money, made it happen.
That's what Tsuchiya thinks.
It can't be.
I'm joking.
Do you remember that day at the factory?
The sweater.
Do you know what I did with it?
After you left, I took it home and washed it.
Throwing it away would have been a shame.
I repaired it and wore it the next winter.
I was alone and poor.
- And are you happy now? - Why do you want to know that?
It's funny!
Excuse me, I'm late.
You're pretty!
Sir, you scared me last night!
But you seem well now.
Your body is very well-trained.
Please get even better, with this meal.
It's from my restaurant.
Who'd ever have thought that one day I'd own a restaurant?
I have to go, but I'll come back with Ishizuka. See you soon.
That human fur coat - it's Ishizuka's wife?
I see. Rich people always have the most beautiful women.
- Leave me alone. - I can't, you're my saviour.
Can I touch it?
- Yes... - I got to go. - Yes.
Are we having lunch together?
- No. Are you busy? - No, it's over.
If you're not here for lunch, it must be for shopping?
- I saw Mikami. - Mikami?
The police officer.
It's unusual for him to be in Yokohama.
There was a fight and he's at the hospital.
Mr Tsuchiya asked me to see him.
- Tsuchiya? - A police officer. - 1 don't remember him.
He has been all over looking for Mikami, to bring him back here.
Sorry for not telling you beforehand.
It's nothing. I would also have gone.
You no longer hold any grudge against him?
I don't know...
Sad, with your heartless face, you insulted Mikami.
You were so beautiful...
I fell in love with you.
And I promised myself I'd make you happy.
- But for that, Mikami... - You think too much.
He was glad, Mikami?
- Men are meant to change. - He was very down?
His spirit was.
Four years have gone by.
Unlike him, we...
Not here, someone might see us.
Don't be foolish, there's nobody!
But...
Tonight, I have to go to Osaka for business.
When I get back, we will visit Mikami together.
I understand...
last night was my fault, too. Stop apologising.
Thank you. Our boss wants to see you...
and he wants to speak with you. He wants to meet you.
- Forget it. - No. Please, accept.
Pour some.
Nice, isn't she? Her name's Emi.
You can have fun with her.
It's not a lot, but take it.
Do you know anything about Ishizuka?
It's not possible that he became so rich.
That thing four years ago... we investigated for a long time.
You must know the truth.
We could nail him.
What do you think? Can you tell us anything?
You'll be handsomely rewarded.
I'm just a humble worker, Mr Hayashida.
Tomorrow, I could leave.
I have no more business here in Yokohama.
Well, if you need anything at all, come and see me.
- Goodbye. - Why so soon?
Happy to see you!
Come in, come in!
Mitsuko! Bring three hot sakes! Seiji! Sashimi!
Do you like my restaurant? I finished it last spring. All because of you.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
I was just a poor druggy and now look what I have.
Hey, Mikami is the man I so often talked to you about. Greet him!
She's just a kid.
- She's a fine young lady. - Well, she wants to marry this one.
- Instead of rolling sushi, he touches the beauty! - It's a good thing.
He doesn't talk much, but he cooks well!
I'll retire and take care of the grandsons and I'll live peacefully!
Let's drink! What are you going to do now?
I have no idea.
Back then, did you know those yakuza well?
- Quite well. - Where are they now?
They had some disagreement and split up.
Most of them headed back to Hong Kong. Nobody stayed here.
- Did you know anything about Ishizuka? - Ishizuka?
- What about him? - Forget it.
Sir, you came back for Ishizuka?
No, not for him.
Sir... let me help you.
No need, it's all over.
Yes, it's me...
It started snowing here, too.
Take care, darling.
I love you.
What's going on?
You say it, too.
! love you... good night.
Good night.
YAMASHITABASHI HOTEL
Come in.
The doctors were furious that you left without authorisation.
This is for you - I don't know if it's the right size.
- Ishizuka told you to come? - I wanted to.
When he gets back, we'll come together.
- 0K? - I don't want anything from you.
Why? Why are you mad at me?
Did I do you wrong?
- Did I do something wrong? - No, nothing.
- So, what then? - Please, leave.
I don't want to...
I"m not leaving here until I understand.
Speak.
Tell me what you think about my husband and I.
Where are you going?
You really want to know what I think?
Even if it might hurt you?
Since our last encounter, I feel awkward.
If it can put me at ease...
During those four years...
can you understand the reasons for my wandering?
Everyone has an opinion on why I've come back,
but it's none of their business.
I just wanted to see you happy...
and leave without your forgiveness.
My forgiveness is not at stake - forget about the past.
What I meanie...
while a grudge exists, there will always be abond between us.
What do you want me to do?
It's not you...
It's my problem.
If it was all about covering up a crime, like Tsuchiya says...
You too have doubts about Ishizuka?
I don't know...
but there are things...
Please... Ishizuka is my husband.
Tofu salesman!
Are you Mr Mikami?
Can you come with us?
What are you doing with this bag?
I"m going on a trip.
Where to?
Is this some kind of a romantic goodbye?
Ishizuka went to your hotel after you left.
He asked me to find you, as I am a policeman.
I promised him I'd do so within three hours.
It's getting late - put the siren on and speed up!
The old man was part of the drug dealer gang. I discovered that, after some time.
So, you shouldn't have been a martyr in this story.
The woman knows nothing, of course...
but Ishizuka does.
Hi!
Mikami! It's been a while. I'm glad.
Thank you. The Japanese Police are very efficient!
What a beautiful fair!
It's nice to see kids having fun.
If only all rich people were generous like you...
It's not a matter of money.
Right. Well, I'll leave.
- Stay with us. - Thank you, but I have to go. Goodbye.
Thank you for coming, Mikami.
- You did well. - 1 was lucky.
- Not just luck. - And you...
according to my wife, you've changed.
Reiko!
Now it's my turn to help you.
This is a good occasion to meet everybody.
This man is a person of great value. I personally vouch for him.
I count on your help.
You wandered about with a guitar!
What a great experience!
- You could write a book about it. - Tell us everything.
Welcome!
Something to eat...
- Hello! - Where is your father?
He said he had some research to do and he didn't come back.
Who knows what he's up to, a quiet man like dad!
You being here makes it easier for him.
This is the daughter of Mr Harukichi.
Good afternoon!
Reiko...
your father was a drug dealer.
You didn't know?
It can't be...
I was going to leave, so that you wouldn't have to suffer any longer,
but I changed my mind. I need to know the truth...
and... for you to be proud of me.
Here you are! What a lively conversation. Sorry, women speak too much!
About that job... do you want to work for me?
- I'm just a wanderer. - Don't worry, you'll learn.
- You'll have your own store. - What did you say?
What is it?
Mr Mikami has his own plans...
He's my friend; he'll accept.
- If you're OK with it. - We have a deal.
- Reiko, what is it? - Nothing...
Are you alright? You must take some rest...
INVESTIGATIONS INTO POLICE OFFICERS
Mr Mikami, leave Yokohama. Leave now, please.
That other time, I talked about feeling awkward.
But, now it's worse...
I have a bad feeling about this.
About what?
What are you afraid of?
My being here bothers you?
I spoil your happiness?
That's why you wish me to leave?
You want my sacrifice.
That's it... I'm a bad woman!
So, please leave.
She's not bad...
she did it for you. For your sake.
You're playing with us!
Me coming back, and everything else, was all your doing.
OK...
Tell me... all you know about that case.
So be it...
Let's go back to that day, four years ago.
The old man takes Ishizuka's gun.
He escapes, shooting. Four shots.
There were several witnesses, but no bullets were found.
We could posit that he shot into the sky.
But the place was small and we didn't find any bullets.
Ishizuka might have put blank rounds in his gun.
And tricked the old man into taking it.
Otherwise, how can we imagine an old man doing that, all by himself?
Ishizuka is a skilled judoka.
Why let him escape?
For money.
He has no education and felt inferior next to you.
Competing with you was hard for him.
During the drugs investigation, he kept information to himself...
so he could shine and get on in his career.
But, during the investigation, the old man was arrested.
If he'd talked, all would have been ruined.
Instead of remaining a small-time officer, he chose the money.
With the old man gone, he made a fortune.
But it was me who fired the shot.
It was Ishizuka's plan...
you fell into his trap.
With his mindset and your friendship,
you had every reason to shoot.
Ishizuka planned this well.
There is no proof.
- That's why I made you come back here. - Tsuchiya...
you want to expose Ishizuka by using me, but I'm not your puppet.
I feel bad about wasting those four years.
So, what do you say?
It's my duty to expose Ishizuka.
What do you mean? By taking his woman?
Get out!
Leave at once!
Dad! Dad!
Mr Mikami, he called us last night.
He said that he had information, that he was glad to help you,
that he was going to drink for a bit and then come home. His last words!
None of this would've happened if you hadn't come back.
I'm angry, but that doesn't matter...
He's dead... Do your duty...
so that he didn't die in vain. Please!
I was looking for you.
- This place is full of memories. - What do you want?
Did you forgot already? The job I talked to you about.
A friend is going to open abusiness in Saigon.
Saigon?
The money is good and going abroad will do you good.
- 1 don't want to. - Oh? Why?
I don't want to leave Yokohama.
- It's better for you to forget. - What?
Think about the present and forget about the past.
- Harukichi has been murdered. - Poor fellow...
If you refuse, I'll understand...
but don't let such an opportunity get away easily.
Don't regret it!
What is it? Are you leaving?
I waited to tell you that I'm going to Hakone.
You're tired. I was too busy with my work and I let you down.
- It's not that. - It's a good time; work is no longer a problem.
Let's take some time out for us. If you want a vacation, let's go.
I'd rather be alone for now.
Reiko, you've seemed troubled lately...
Since Mikami came back.
1 don't doubt you.
I trust you...
I think you're worried about this stray dog.
I admire your kindness to him.
But, life isn't easy...
it's a matter of winning or losing.
I"m sorry for Mikami, but he lost.
He made a mistake four years ago.
We did our best,
made huge efforts to get what we have today.
All of this is ours - nobody can take it away from us!
You'll do anything for money?
It's only fair that I should win...
Mikami is defeat itself.
Me, I win.
The happiness that I finally found with you...
1 will fight for it, to the death.
Ishizuka speaking.
Wait a moment...
It's me.
- Kinu! Kinu! - Yes!
We're going on a trip. Get the car ready.
- Now? - Now!
Under an acacia flower,
a girl wipes her tears.
The red handkerchief,
wet with grudges,
placed over her eyes,
didn't stop her tears...
In the north of the country,
near the end of Spring,
we alone had gazed at...
the distant floating clouds.
With the wish of dying...
together.
Beyond the sky,
we could have travelled.
The acacia flowers...
lost their petals.
Where is the girl of my dreams?
Like the red handkerchief,
in the pocket of my jacket,
in my heart. _.
You remain, forlornly.
Sorry to bother you.
Mikami, what about leaving Yokohama?
I love Yokohama, and I love to sing.
- That's unfortunate. - "Unfortunate"?
Dead or alive, you'll leave this place.
Who's behind all this?
Never mind, let's go.
I see...
in that case, I can't refuse.
Ishizuka is behind this, right...? And Harukichi...
Criminal wanted: Jirou Mikami!
A fight between singers might have been a battle over turf.
One of the two men has been badly hurt.
The Police are searching for a suspect named Jirou Mikami.
According to the doctors, the wounded man...
What a fuss! It's all down to Mikami.
Your license, please.
- What happened? - Something in Yokohama.
Is there a problem?
Forgive me, I forgot my license. Usually, I have a driver.
It's embarrassing. Please step out and give us your identification.
I'll be right back.
...as the suspect is considered dangerous, police forces are on full alert.
That's fine...
but there are rules. Be careful next time.
Thank you.
Reiko!
Reiko!
Reiko! Reiko didn't come home?
Not since you left, sir.
- Well, you can go. - Sir, are you alright? - Leave!
My wife mustn't know...
Find her and I'll take her home.
Mikami?
Forget about him - the police will take care of him.
What?! it's not him?
OK...
Never mind the kind of weapon - don't make any mistakes.
And don't leave any trace!
- Understood. - Mikami?!
Mr Ishizuka, what's going on? I'm coming!
It was you, Ishizuka.
You cheated me...
- and you killed Harukichi. - Bullshit.
Asshole! Talk!
Say it!
Son of a bitch! You want to kill me?
You have no proof!
- Proof? - Yes! You want to kill an honest citizen?
You want to repeat a mistake from the past? Again?
Killing you is not enough.
I will make you endure the pain of those four lost years!
Sir!
Where is madam?
She didn't come home.
Sir!
I'm glad...
I'm glad.
- You're still waiting for him? - Yes.
It's gonna get heated!
Why don't you go home?
Not yet.
OK. Goodbye.
One more thing... if you should happen to meet him,
tell him he's in danger, and that he should turn himself in to me,
just for my glory! Tell him that.
Not now...
So...
The police know I'm here.
What destiny is ours...
What are we going to do?
Let's forget everything...
misfortunes, Ishizuka, ...
I'm not leaving you.
There are things that a man can't forget.
Until I've settled them,
I can't even kiss you.
Thank you for coming.
That's the way it is.
Look,
you'll do what I tell you to.
And keep that for me.
- What have you done? - Nothing...
Thank you for calling me.
It's a strange time. Take your wife back home...
for our peace of mind.
OK?
Someone testified that you're not guilty, but you're still a suspect.
The interview will not take long.
If someone vouches for you, you'll be free tomorrow.
- I can vouch for him. - Very well...
you're Mikami's only close friend.
Let's go.
Let's go home.
The water is hot.
Reiko!
You're hurting me!
Reiko...
I forgive you.
- I'm going to sleep downstairs. - Reiko, please...
Look at me! Stay with me!
Mikami doesn't forgive. I don't want to be forgiven by you!
Reiko, don't you understand, my love?
You'll never belong to Mikami!
Don't touch me!
You won't get away from me so easily! I'm not a fool!
Reiko, forgive me. Whatever happens, I love you so much.
The happiness you bring me is all I have left!
Reiko, I'll never leave you.
You'll come back, whatever the cost!
Yes? Ishizuka speaking.
Already? Alright, I'll be there.
It's cold!
At last, I can go home to some sake.
1 got to go to the restroom.
Son of a bitch! What are you doing? Mikami!
That day...
your gun was loaded with blank rounds.
When I arrived,
you were taking the old man to the car.
When he climbed the first step...
you made him take your gun...
and run. He lost control.
Totally under your will, he fired...
and began to escape.
Of course, I knew nothing.
I was only scared for your life.
Out of terror, I aimed and you ran towards him,
with what looked like courage.
Is it possible...
for a man to run towards a gun?
Only, you knew that it wouldn't harm you.
I admit that it was cocky on your part, to act like that.
By reflex, and so as not to shoot you,
I aimed high.
Then I had to shoot...
and I hit him in the heart.
At last, you understood!
I trusted your shooting skills! I admit, I was terrified...
one slight mistake, and I would take the bullet! It was a bet against my life.
All my work is a bet against my life.
Mikami! Don't you understand?
No, I didn't think so... Mr Tsuchiya!
Why am I talking like that?
A confession of my crimes? Not at all.
I'm a winning general, on his glorious journey back home.
You can't arrest me. You don't have any proof.
You're right. We've lost.
Just think; I too could have been a detective like you!
I would have grown old and walked to my death! No way!
My career was limited, because of my lack of education...
I needed an opportunity to prove my strength.
I wanted to live without regrets. Money rules everything!
Why should I feel guilty for putting my life on the line?
- For killing an innocent man? - He was worthless.
- For spoiling our friendship? - A soldier dies for his general!
I'm a man of great value, a winner!
- The father of all orphans! - You're a hypocrite.
- They need me! - Stop this nonsense!
You, policemen, you can't touch me!
I'm going to end this...
Stop it! This time it won't be unintentional.
- I don't care. - You already lost four years. - Exactly...
Anyway...
even if justice is powerless, I can do something.
Mikami, stop it! We have proof now.
Don't, Mikami! Don't!!
Reiko...
you shot me!
Did you do it for Mikami?
I see...
Shoot, again, here!
Here!
Shoot!
Mr Tsuchiya...
Reiko didn't do it.
It was suicide...
Mikami... I lost.
Reiko!
