“Glory to the Lotus of the Sutra of the Supreme Law.
"Glory to the Lotus of the Sutra of the Supreme Law."
Mother...
Yes?
Didn't Father have a Rolex?
Yes...
It'd make Masashi a nice university-entrance gift.
But it's all gold and shiny, and he has a face like a potato!
Once he gets into college and gets a girlfriend, he'll lose that acne.
Well, all right.
Ryoko, is there anything of Father's you'd like?
Speak up now, or these two will take off with everything.
You're awful!
Hello?
Mr Yang...
Those worms?
They're too long.
They're like ramen noodles!
They give me the creeps!
What's that about?
He's starting a “Japan-China Worm Friendship Union...
Oh, he's speaking Chinese... I thought he was ill.
This is strange... what is it?
Devil's-tongue, done up to look like meat.
But it's not spongy.
Good devil's-tongue isn't.
No?
Well, it had me fooled.
Ryoko, how long do you mean to go on the way you are?
Why?
"Why"?
It's your father's third memorial, and we can't invite your relatives!
Just as well.
The way they gossip about Ryoko, they're worse than the reporters!
But she can't stay alone forever.
That's true.
It'd be nice to get this cleared up and you married again.
What a lovely day... I'm feeling sleepy.
Ryoko, we're talking about you!
I heard you.
But if I can't get everything cleared up, what else can I do?
But you should be standing up and facing things as they come.
This wasn't your fault.
It was that fool husband of yours.
THE LAUGHING FROG
Nebukawa Station
Ippei!
What were you up to?
Nothing! Nothing like that at all!
Wait!
Don't call the police, OK? Just listen to me!
You stink, you know.
Here.
Put them in the washer.
These were Dad's.
The bathroom window was open. You should be more careful.
I'm surprised to find you living here.
Only your father ever used the place. I thought I'd hide out here.
You started smoking...
How long?
Have I smoked?
No, lived here.
Three months.
May 1?
Ryoko...
...could I stay here a while?
I know I've no right to ask you that...
Turn yourself in.
No! I'd rather die than go to jail.
Just overnight, while I think of somewhere to go.
Please?
Pee in this
Here.
My English students come tomorrow.
Don't make a sound, no matter what.
I know.
I mean it.
I promise. Not one single sound.
See you.
Hey!
You don't have to lock me in here!
And you don't have to stay here.
The Second Day
Again...
See you in two days. Don't forget to review.
'Bye!
Could I talk to you for a minute?
What is it?
You intend to marry my father, don't you?
I just wanted to say don't worry about me.
Thank you. But we haven't talked about that yet.
No? You haven't?
Right now we're still just good friends.
But you've had sex...
Don't be embarrassed!
Are you two compatible?
"Compatible"?
Sexually!
They say that's very important in marriage, don't they?
Where did you hear that?
Chatting about sex on the internet with bored housewives.
That's terrible!
After he finally found a girlfriend, I'd hate to think he'd lost his edge.
"His edge"?
Tell me...
What's it like, having sex with my dad?
I don't know what to say...
I'm his daughter! I'm interested!
Is it good?
It's good, huh?
Yes. It's really good.
That's a relief.
There haven't been any women in Dad's life since Mom died.
Coming!
Hello! It's been a while. This is for you.
If I may...
A friend?
No. A detective from Odawara.
Hello.
Hello.
I'll be going, then.
Goodbye.
'Bye.
It sure is humid, isn't it, Missus.
Yes.
This time of year there's a lot of panty-thieves around to keep us busy.
A woman living alone is a target.
Do you keep your undies inside?
What?
I mean, do you dry your underwear inside the house?
So that's why you're here...
No, it's not.
Actually, we had a tip that your husband was seen...
...near Nebukawa Station yesterday afternoon.
Have you heard from him?
I'm sure you can imagine how I feel about him.
If he called, I'd tell you right away.
I'm sure you would.
You do like peaches?
Yes.
Oh, good.
But a marriage can always surprise you, can't it.
At first my wife and I didn't get along at all.
For years we were only tolerating each other.
We fought all the time.
And it sounds strange, but the more we fought...
...the more I wanted to get along with her.
She felt the same, and now we have five kids.
So everyone thinks we're a happy couple.
The relationship of two married people...
...isn't something you can work out on a calculator.
So I might be sheltering my husband?
Yes.
That's interesting. But it wouldn't happen.
No?
Where love is all gone, there may still be lust.
There is such a thing as "temptation".
Otherwise why would a respectable husband and branch manager...
...become an embezzler?
Did you go see the woman in Odawara?
Oh, her? She closed up her club and moved to Yokohama.
If he was going to show up, I think he'd go to her.
You'd think so.
Men can be really stupid, can't they.
Compared to you, she's not much to look at.
Kind of bony, with tiny breasts.
She may fool some with those push-up bras, but not me.
She's an A cup...
...while you're C or D, if not more.
But she has a mole at the corner of her eye.
It makes her look very sexy and inviting.
I'm sure that's why your husband lost his head.
Yes, men are real fools!
And here he had a beautiful wife like you!
What the hell was that?!
What?
Why did you have to invite him in?
And your attitude!
Are you after that pervert?
No! I was trying my best to protect you!
It didn't look like it!
“Sound" like it.
Legally you're still my wife.
I'd like a divorce.
I called my lawyer.
He says it's hard to divorce someone in absentia.
Even if they vanish like you did, it still takes seven years.
“I've found a man and I want a divorce," huh?
You're the one who found another woman.
Didn't you learn "hunger" on the run?
You still don't eat your crusts.
I ate them then! I was starving half the time.
I was thinking I'd let you stay here if you agreed to a divorce.
A deal?
You could stay a week or so. I could give you some money, too.
First I want to hear about that lover-boy dad!
It's like she said. Mr Yoshizumi and I want to be together.
"Yoshizumi"? Not a classy name.
I'll mail the divorce form to myself from Tokyo.
No one will know you were here.
And I'd like you to write me a letter.
“Dear Ryoko, I'm sorry I left without saying anything.
"All the trouble you've had was my fault.
"I truly regret everything, but now there is no going back.
“You're only 33. I want you to forget me and start over.
"I've signed an application for divorce.
"If you wish to remarry, I have no objection.
“If you find a good man, I gladly give you my blessing.
“I very much enjoyed our nine years of married life.
“Thank you, Ryoko."
Or something like that.
It sounds like you practiced that.
I don't want a divorce just to marry Mr Yoshizumi.
I just want to clear away everything that limits my freedom.
"Clear away"...like a bad debt.
I'm not signing. I'll leave tonight like I said.
No deal.
Hello?
Oh, hello.
Tomorrow?
Yes, in the morning.
Wow! A black porgy?
You caught it?
Oh, you didn't!
Yes!
OK, I'll look forward to it.
'Bye.
Yoshizumi's a fisherman?
No. He just likes the sea.
So he's got a yacht?
He's a stone-carver.
Yeah?
Gravestones, things like that.
A stone-carver who catches black porgy...
The Third Day
These fish eat just about anything.
Look at those teeth.
Wow!
They can break clamshells or anything else.
You wouldn't believe what ends up in their stomach.
So when you clean them, you never cut into it.
It makes a horrible stink that sticks to you.
Here's the tape I told you about.
Shall I play it?
Beautiful!
Yeah...they sure are.
What are you doing?! Stop it!
Well?
Doesn't it tickle?
Isn't your mother coming?
Yes.
I'd better go.
The fish was great.
Good. See you tomorrow.
Ryoko! Open this door!
Are you crazy? Somebody'll hear you.
What's with the weirdo?
Here. Mom's coming, so keep quiet.
Hey!
You're being taken in! It's mind-control!
Wives of criminals are vulnerable.
Men get them into strange religions, or...
Ryoko?
Wait here, please.
It's so hot! Was Atami always like this?
It's worse this year.
I love your kimono. You like such beautiful colors.
Too "young"?
I'll bet something nice has happened.
Why?
You're looking younger.
Nothing's happened. You're looking prettier yourself.
"Sexier", I should say. It's that man of yours, isn't it.
You think so?
But it's hard to imagine my daughter involved with a tombstone-cutter.
Stop calling him that!
What's wrong with it? It's a fine occupation.
Much more manly than Ippei's.
It's very sexy, actually.
Mom!
Is he better than Ippei was at "night work"?
How is your tombstone-cutter? A lot better than Ippei, I'll bet.
Silly! Why are you blushing like that?
What?
I can tell.
You like sex a lot more since you met him.
Mom! Don't talk like that!
Why shouldn't 1?
A woman blooms when a man leads her into real passion.
Your father was wonderful!
He was like Wagner.
Perfect tempo, dynamics, bold yet subtle...
Just like he was conducting an orchestra.
Your tombstone-cutter strikes me the same way.
Am I right?
This is good!
Mr Yoshizumi brought it back from Kyoto.
Wasn't that nice of him! Ask him where he bought it.
Oh, I'm thinking of remarrying.
What?!
What do you think?
To who?
An antiques dealer in Kamakura. His name's Aizawa. He's 58.
Younger...
Yes, but I look younger than he does.
When Dad died, you said you'd never think of remarrying.
And that's what I thought then.
Remember I had that fibroid uterus when I was 50?
I thought I'd be through with sex, but the gods weren't done with me.
I guess it's fate.
Is that all right with you?
It's your life.
I don't object.
Have you told Kentaro?
Not yet.
They'll be against it.
You tell them for me.
No! Tell them yourself!
But Sakiko's sure to pull an awful face!
Of course. The inheritance is all she ever thinks about.
There'll be a big fight when you tell her.
That's why I want you to tell her.
No!
Kabuki tickets...
Nope.
Nizaemon's on next month.
Front row?
Of course!
Oh, well...
Oh, that's a relief! Well, let's get going.
I told Sakiko you'd be going over.
What, just me?
Well, yes. You said you were free this afternoon.
Can I take some of that sweet bean-paste...
...for Mr Aizawa?
Get ready. I've got a taxi waiting.
"Beautiful! "
"They sure are!"
Asshole!
The Fourth Day
I'm going out.
Did you talk to Sakiko?
She was furious.
I'll bet.
Mom's like a girl in love. She can't see anything else.
That's not love. It's senile erotomania.
Everyone's coming here the day after tomorrow.
Why?
I was against it, but Mom insisted.
Going on a date?
We're going out for dinner.
Don't bring him here.
He always brings me home.
Not while I'm here.
He'll wonder what's wrong.
Does he...
...stay overnight?
About twice a week.
Please...
I'll sign the form. Just don't bring the tombstone-cutter home...
...while I'm around.
Don't call him that.
Let's talk. Just give me an evening.
We'll settle the divorce.
I'll be honest with you.
I can't stand the idea of you with that tombstone-cutter.
For what it's worth, I'm still your husband.
All right! Don't cry.
Really?!
You're not fair.
Don't mess up the house.
A highlight of the festival is the procession...
...of the holy palanquin down Atami Sun Beach.
Special Report!
The Case of the Vanishing Branch Manager!
Ippei? I'm coming home. Mr Yoshizumi will be with me.
Clean the place up, please, and get out of sight.
Stone-carvers have to pee outside.
Small cemeteries don't have toilets.
Oh, yuck!
What's wrong?
It's so cool in here...
Like the air conditioner was just on.
You're imagining things. Anyway, put on your new CD.
Here we go.
He's playing a concert soon. We should go.
Where?
Over in Chiba.
That sounds like fun.
Right!
Beautiful!
What's wrong?
Maybe I'm a bit tired.
So I shouldn't stay?
I'm sorry. I had to go to Yokohama with Mom...
OK.
Get a good night's sleep.
Oh, I almost forgot...
What?
Remember I said I'd carve you?
That's so cute! Such a gentle face...
Are you sure this is me?
It's you, all right. I put heart and soul into it.
Thank you. I'm glad.
OK...
Wait...
Don't go.
Stop being stupid!
There's no shampoo!
Be right there!
Anything wrong?
Nothing! I'm coming!
Ryoko...
...are you sure your husband hasn't been in touch with you?
Of course not! Why do you ask?
Well...
...my daughter mentioned the detective...
...and you haven't been yourself the past few days.
Maybe I'm getting a cold.
I'm sorry if I've worried you.
But you know...
...1 hate not being able to decide anything.
Like living with me?
Who cares if we're not married?
I can't wait seven years. I don't want to.
When you do that...
...it feels like I've turned into a little stone Buddha.
It's like...
...you're carving me. y
The Fifth Day
I need a mosquito coil.
You go pour it out!
I need a favor.
I got a divorce form.
I'll sign it later.
I'm leaving tonight.
Last night you sounded like a fire truck.
Was that deliberate?
To finish me off?
Don't make me sad.
Oh, no!
Mrs Kurasawa?
Yes, that's me.
How do you do. My name's Motoyoshi.
My husband caused you trouble.
No.
Come in.
It's not much of a gift...
Thank you.
Um. ..I think you know...
...I had to leave Odawara after the "incident".
Being the woman who drove the branch manager to crime...
...killed my business.
But I never got one yen of that money from him.
And they were after me to pay the interest on the debt he left!
I've been all over since I left Odawara.
I ran out on the debt I owed on my club there.
I realize you're the last person I should be asking for help...
...but my only other choice is to hang myself.
You're saying you want money?
Well, when Mr Kurasawa disappeared...
...I was pregnant with his child.
Did he know?
They uncovered his embezzling just as I was about to tell him.
He told me he was going to leave you.
“She's not sexy," he said. “She's like some fancy pet cat.”
And he told me I was just great in bed.
So did you have an abortion?
Yes.
I wanted the baby...
...but it was all I could do to support myself.
And how much do you want?
Only as much as you think is fair.
How much would that be?
Say, 3 million yen?
Ridiculous.
I'm sorry?
I said, "Ridiculous."
What do you mean?!
I've come as a victim to ask for help!
How can you sit there and say it's "ridiculous”?!
I apologize for my husband.
But there's no reason I should compensate you.
Even when he got me pregnant?
He can't have children.
When we were first married I had problems, so I went to a doctor.
My husband was checked, too, just in case.
He never said...
I asked the doctor not to say anything.
I wanted him to think it was me.
Even knowing that we couldn't have children...
...he accepted me for what I was.
I am just so embarrassed!
I give up.
Cheating on a wife like you... your husband's an idiot.
Yes, he is.
I'm sorry.
I've been all worked up about me being the loser.
I heard you had property, so I thought I'd try to scam you.
Oh, well...bad idea, huh?
I'll get out of here.
Wait...
This is all the money I have here.
No, no, forget it!
It's all right. He caused you a lot of trouble, too.
But this is all.
I feel terrible taking it...
She's cute, isn't she. I can see why you fell for her.
Ryoko?
What's wrong?
Ryoko!
Thanks.
You always used to make me this when I had a temperature.
Your medicine?
I took it.
A half-dose?
No.
Ryoko, you know how medicine affects you!
Ryoko...
...was it true what you said?
That I'm infertile.
No.
If I hadn't said that, she'd still be here.
For the nearly ten years I was living with you...
...I felt like...
...I was looking after a child anyway.
A child?
So Mr Yoshizumi was like being with a man...
...for the very first time.
Hey, don't spare my feelings.
But it's strange...it's still easier to talk to you than anyone.
Application for Registration of Divorce
What's wrong?
I'm cold.
You'd better change.
Hang on...
OK...
Here.
I'm cold.
Warm me up.
Ryoko, it's me, you know.
Is this OK?
What is it?
Nothing.
The Sixth Day
Thanks.
How is it?
Saltier than you used to make it.
How are you?
Better.
I signed the form. And wrote a letter.
I'll leave tonight.
You're not going to the police?
I'll think about it.
Oh.
Hi. You must be Ryoko's elder brother.
I'm Yoshizumi.
Hello.
There's our stone-cutter!
Mom!
Thank you for taking the time to come.
No trouble. This is slow season.
When it gets hotter people start dying off.
Mr Aizawa, this is Mr Yoshizumi.
Aizawa Kiichiro. How do you do.
Yoshizumi.
Mom, Mr Yoshizumi carved this for me.
Well! Isn't that nice!
It's me.
Yes, the eyes look like yours.
That's very good! May I?
Very nice. Does this granite come from around Aji, in Kagawa?
No, Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe?
These lines are certainly very well done.
Here...
Ryoko, don't take this wrong, but...
...when you get married and move out, we'd like to knock this place down.
You would?
Yes, and put up a really nice new house.
Have you told Mom?
No. But Kentaro says we should, too.
I don't know.
It's Mom's cottage.
It's full of memories for her.
Masashi's going to university in Odawara.
We'll be able to come out here more then.
This is my elder brother, Kentaro.
Hello.
This is Mr Aizawa.
Aizawa Kiichiro.
And Mr Yoshizumi.
I'm Ryoko's brother.
I hope you'll excuse us, but we've had Mr Aizawa checked out.
Checked out by whom?
A detective agency.
How dare you!
I hate to say this in front of him, but...
...your reputation isn't very good, Mr Aizawa.
You've sold fake antiques, and you're in debt.
Sakiko, stop!
I will not!
Things should be out in black and white now!
Black and white? If he's black, so am I!
Mother!
We're living together.
You aren't!
Is that true?
Yes!
Isn't it.
It's "Sakiko", isn't it?
You have lovely hands.
Six months ago I sold a Ming-dynasty picture screen as lovely as they are.
It turned out to be fake.
My customer was furious, and told everyone I was a crook.
I took responsibility, and refunded him 15 million yen.
Is that it?
No. Two years ago...
...I bought a painting from a dealer in France by Lucien, uh...
Skip the details!
How much?
It's not a banana auction!
About 30 million yen.
Do you think you'll ever pay that back?
I'm paying the interest.
I'll be honest. We're against you and Mother marrying.
I hate to say it, but we've been through hell over Ryoko's husband.
We're always left to clean things up!
This isn't like Ippei. Mr Aizawa was the victim!
Like it or not, I'm marrying him.
You can say whatever you like.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Mr Lee...
Those worms?
They're too thick!
They're like udon noodles!
“Udon". Great big fat noodles!
I'm selling this cottage.
That should bring 30 million yen.
You can't!
I can so! It's mine.
Just a minute... I'm still living here.
You're going to be marrying Mr Yoshizumi soon.
Isn't she?
Not so fast, Mother! Let's talk this over.
Kentaro, honey!
Mother wants to sell this place.
What? No one's asked me about that.
No one has to ask you. It's mine and I'm selling.
It's worth hundreds of millions. What about our inheritance?
What about it?
Mother, this is crazy!
You're being taken in!
Ryoko, say something!
Mom should do as she likes, but if I had to leave now...
That's right! Ryoko still has a husband!
What will people say if she tries to marry now?
Ryoko didn't do anything, Sakiko. Ippei's the one in the wrong.
She should try to be happy, whatever people say.
It's that attitude that's brought shame on us!
Hello! It's Detective Uzaki!
Coming!
Hello.
For you.
What's the occasion?
A family meeting.
Oh? Then this might be the perfect time.
Actually, Missus, I have something important to tell you.
A body we think is your husband's was pulled from the sea this morning.
We estimate the time of death at about five days ago.
We're checking the fingerprints.
There were reports of him near here then...
...and this body has no head, so we can't be sure.
A shark ate him! The poor thing!
We think it more likely a ship's screw cut the head off.
Oh? But still...
There!
That's Ippei's watch.
You're sure of that?
Wasn't it, Ryoko?
A cheap domestic brand. I told him he should have a Rolex or an Omega...
Oh, I wish I'd held my tongue!
And those old fuddy-duddy trousers! That's just what he'd be wearing!
Aren't they!
Missus?
Well, he certainly liked that color.
We'll need someone to come to the station for identification.
It won't be pleasant, but if you wouldn't mind...
I'll be on my way, then.
My condolences.
What a shock!
I'm hungry from crying.
Ryoko, let's order in some sushi.
Mr Aizawa doesn't like sea urchin.
Don't worry about me. I take what I'm given.
Did you have insurance on Ippei?
No? Too bad.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Xiao Hong?
What's wrong? Are you angry?
Oh, sorry!
! love you.
I'm sorry I didn't call.
Yes, I still love you.
How could I forget you?
Mr Yoshizumi
It's a shame it turned out this way, but it may be for the best.
She won't have to be “poor Ryoko" for seven years.
Please make her happy, Mr Yoshizumi.
Mom!
You should settle this now.
Then it'll all be done.
This was Ippei's last kindness to you, before the sharks got him.
I'll go.
Ippei...
You heard.
I don't know what to do.
Get out here.
How've you been?
Thank you!
Thanks.
Here, Ippei.
Thank you.
The sushi's good here.
Fish-farm sushi! I never eat it.
What are you doing waltzing back in here now?
You, too!
Making a fool of me!
Mr Tombstone-cutter...I know it's hard, but this isn't manly.
Every silver lining has a cloud, I guess.
Ippei...
...I know it's hard, but I think you should go to the police.
For your sake and ours.
Ippei!
Hold on here...
Then all of us could be charged with abetting a fugitive.
Oh, dear!
Rejected.
No, that wouldn't be good at all.
No.
Bad idea.
Well, what'd be best is if he really was dead.
Are you saying my husband should commit suicide?!
No, I'm just saying "what if".
That's what we're all thinking, isn't it?
I'm not thinking that.
That's the problem...
...isn't it?
If he would do that, we'd all be happier.
Mom!
Well...
...that leaves us with three choices.
One: he stays as he is, on the run.
Two: he gets caught, or turns himself in.
OK...
Then three: he really kills himself.
Mom!
But...
I'm sorry, Ippei...but after all Ryoko's gone through...
It's all right. I understand.
I was...
...eaten by a shark.
I don't know if this is a good thing, or just a weird one...
...or if anyone else will understand it or not.
Ryoko...
...you didn't put up your hand to anything. Why not?
I'll speak, then.
Listening to this nonsense, I've changed my mind.
I want to start over.
If you'll wait for me, I'll turn myself in and serve my time.
Ippei! You can't say that now!
Let's start over. I've been a fool.
I finally realize it's you that I love.
I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
I know I'm being selfish, but...
Ippei...
...I'm pregnant.
What?
It's Mr Yoshizumi's.
I can't start over with you.
I'm going to divorce you and marry Mr Yoshizumi.
That's wonderful, Ryoko! When will I be a grandmother?
Not for a while.
I'm so happy!
Hi! It's Grandma!
Mom!
I'm so happy!
Are you all right?
Yes, yes, I'm fine!
A grandmother again!
What does that make me?
"Grandpa“!
Already?
Whose grandpa?!
Ryoko...
...what can I say? Congratulations.
And thank you.
Would you all listen to me, please?
For 49 years I've been a straight, serious guy.
Rather a dull one.
But I'm sorry. I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want to die.
If I can't start over with Ryoko, I will embark on a new life.
What characters should we write his name with if it's a boy?
"Stone" with “iron"?
“Gantetsu"? Hmm...
I'll go north with the cherry blossoms...
...sleep on the plains of Hokkaido, look at the sky...
...and steal a cob of corn for my food.
In the fall I'll let the wind against my back push me south...
...to the blue sea of Okinawa, to frolic in the coral with the fish.
He's in a bad way.
It's been so hot this year...
I'll find an old crone to teach me its folk songs.
And then...
...I'll catch vipers and milk their venom to sell.
Ryoko...
Yes?
This is goodbye for real.
As of today I discard the name Kurasawa Ippei.
As of tomorrow I shall be one with the wind! Farewell.
Fine, but promise you won't claim any of our inheritance.
I know! Let's take a picture!
It'll be a new start for everyone. And we're all accomplices now.
With a picture no one will ever dare go to the police.
A little closer, Mr Yoshizumi.
That's good.
You stand in back.
Here goes.
Well, that's that.
Even if a shark didn't get him, at least everything worked out.
Ippei's gone with the wind, Ryoko's having Mr Yoshizumi's baby...
This is the happiest day of my life.
I lied.
It's not true.
"Born in a town with no seasons...
Raised on a hill where the wind never blew...
"I came from a house of no dreams...
...and those I met had no love."
Living with the wind, Ippei was arrested...
...only two days before...
...the Statute of Limitations would have left him in the clear.
He was arrested in hospital recovering from snakebite.
If you're unlucky, you're unlucky.
"Today everything ends.
“Today everything changes.
"Today everything comes round to the start.
“Today everything begins."
