[people chattering, laughing]

OUR NOA IS GOING TO WASEDA UNIVERSITY!

[in English] How you used to run
around here as a little boy.

And that good father of yours
always chasing you around!

- [Sunja's mother exclaiming]
- [laughing]

[wrestler, Mozasu straining, grunting]

- [Goto cheers, chuckles]
- [chuckles]

A dockworker I know

sold off everything he owns
to afford a boat ride over.

Probably taking up arms
against those bastards this very minute.

[activist] If he made it, that is.

I also hear
that trip over is getting more dangerous.

[radio host
speaking Japanese indistinctly]

Really, why are you being like this
on such a happy day?

- You did so well!
- [crying]

Stop this now.
His mother's not even crying.

[well-wisher chuckles]

[car door closes]

- [children chattering]
- [Hansu] Here.

So they've all gathered for you, Noa.

Apparently.

It's overwhelming.

You'll get used to it.

This is just the beginning.

Here.

This watch... It's how it all started.

Open it.

[attendees chattering indistinctly,
laughing]

[Sunja's mother] The food is ready!

It's yours now.

Thank you.

[Sunja's mother] Come sit down!

[Kyunghee] Please join us.

Let's go.

Sunja, don't just stand there. Sit down.

Pass this along.

[Mozasu sighs] I'll take some, please.

Slow down. Wait for the others.

[Mozasu]
Today, I get to be served first.

[attendees continue chattering]

[Noa] Please, enjoy the meal.

You should try some liver.
It's fresh. Please try it.

- [Mozasu exclaims]
- [attendees chattering]

- [attendee 2 chuckles]
- [Noa chuckles]

[clears throat]

[Sunja's mother]
Our Noa, let's cheer him!

[attendees cheering]

You see that? My grandson!

He's going to Waseda!

["Wait a Million Years" plays]

[Naomi, in Japanese]
Please run the numbers again.

Especially the over-allotment scenarios.

We've run those numbers several times.

[Naomi] Check again.

Along with the annual reports.

After all this hard work,

I want to avoid future corrections.

Please have these back by end of the day.

Excuse me.

I apologize for interrupting.

The director wants to see you
in the conference room.

Excuse me.

- You asked for me?
- Ichizaki-san. Have a seat.

We have an urgent matter to discuss.

Does this concern the IPO?

Tom-san, I leave it to you
to explain the matter.

There have been allegations

that you breached security protocol.

Specifically,

leaking confidential client information
about the IPO.

Are you aware of what I am talking about?

I think I have an idea.

So, you don't deny it?

I admit, it was unprofessional of me.

I should've been more careful.

But I assure you
that no sensitive information was shared.

Nothing to jeopardize the IPO.

Our security department is
still investigating the matter.

Thankfully, the situation was brought
to our attention early enough

to stem further damage--

There would've been no further damage.

Indeed, because Tom has
reassured our client.

You spoke to Kinyuu?

I needed to make sure they heard
directly from us.

It was the right thing to do.

That being said,

there is still the question of the stain.

As I said,

it was a lapse in judgment.

It will never happen again.

I will call the clients at once

and let them know
we are still on schedule--

[director] You do not seem to understand
the gravity of your situation.

Your actions could've exposed
this firm to serious risks.

And what about your standing?

As one of few women in management,

you are supposed to set an example.

I take that very seriously.

However, if you are telling me that,
because I am a woman,

I must remain unblemished
for my entire career

then that is impossible.

It's also unfair, is it not?

Especially when others have been afforded
a second chance.

Please.

Give me the same chance.

I'm afraid it is too late for that.

We will accept your resignation.

Effective immediately.

It is a shame.

For whom?

[sobs]

[sighs]

[crying]

[in English] It's done. I just got
the authorization to call in the loan.

Abe now has a mark
of 30 million dollars on him.

[Yoshii] How soon till Shiffley's
takes bids on the property?

[Tom] We'll have to see
how much Abe- san fights the loan.

But after that,
everything's already primed.

If we can come in at the number discussed,

then the auction should be
just a formality.

- [Yoshii] Call us when you know more.
- [Tom] I'll be in touch.

[in Japanese]
It all went down as you planned.

I have to admit...

I didn't think you had it in you.

Looks like I was wrong.

[Hansu] Who is Isamu Yoshii?

[Ryochi] Just some fortunate thug

who did the right favor
for the right person.

Losing those markets will be a hit for us.

[Ryochi] We'll take a hit,

but only temporarily.

Instead,

I want you to think
about those new subway lines.

Has the contract been guaranteed to us?

We've made the deal.

This is a huge step forward for us.

The rest is up to you.

But you know that.

However,

there is one condition.

Kurogane-kun...

He wants to keep the ceremony private.

He would rather avoid a big affair.

What does he mean by private?

He would prefer

you were not present.

That is

unacceptable.

I figured.

But you agreed to it.

I did.

Because it's what must be done.

[Mozasu] Jackpot!

[Noa] That's all there is?

It's just a game of chance?

Didn't you just see what I did?

I calculated the timing of my flicks,

and figured out just the right amount
of pressure-- [chuckles]

You really think you can control this?

This isn't winning.

Then what do you call this?

I'm going to trade these in for prizes.
Wanna come?

I'll stay here.

[Mozasu laughing]

Is that true? [chuckles]

Hey, take this.

Share some with your brother.

[sniffling]

[Kato]
Be careful not to damage the roots.

See?

Still life in it yet.

But will it survive this move?

- I've never had any luck with this.
- [chuckles]

You just need to watch it carefully.

Make sure it gets the right amount
of sun and water.

- [Sunja grunts]
- [chuckles]

[grunts]

That place you mentioned...

Connecticut.

Are there many trees there?

So many!

- You wouldn't believe it.
- [grunts]

And so tall.

I wish I could see America for myself.

It's always been a dream of mine.

Why not go then?

Kato-san,

you are always going on
about how little time you have left.

[chuckles]

It's not as hard to go as it used to be.

[chuckles] That is true.

But just as expensive, unfortunately.

At least for me. [chuckles]

Everything's getting so expensive here.

It's a wonder how people can afford
to make ends meet.

But that's how it is, isn't that so?

We're told to live a long life...
[chuckles]

...but no one ever told us
how to pay for it.

To be honest...

I've been thinking about moving in
with my daughter.

She's in Nagoya.

[gasps] Nagoya?

But so far away?

I'm the burden now.

[Sunja sighs]

It's up to you now.

To look after the family.

Stop that talk.

You talk as if
you're disappearing or something.

I'm not disappearing.

[Mozasu] Tokyo's like a hundred times
bigger than this place.

Just wait.

Next time you come home,
you're going to realize

everything here is too small for you.

Listen to you!

So wise all of a sudden.

Let me ask you then, what about you?

What are you going to do without me?

Don't worry about me.

I've got my plans.

I'm...

I'm going to America.

[chuckles]

I'm serious.

As soon as I can ditch school
I'm outta here.

And what's in America?

Big cars.

Big houses.

So much space
you can't smell your neighbor's shit.

And all the sweets in the world.

So, that's it, isn't it?

You want to go all the way over
to stuff your belly?

That's not it.

In America, I don't have to be
the person they see me as here.

That's why I want to go.

He's been living alone
these past few years.

He hardly sees his family.

[Mozasu] His financial status...

How much has he saved?

As you suspected,
no real assets to speak of.

He retired from a printing company
after 30 years.

He lives on the pension now

with a mortgage of 27 million yen.

He lives frugally.

But these past few weeks,

he's taken my mother out to eat often.

I figure he's trying to woo her.

[detective grunts]
So, the question is, what is he after?

But one thing troubles me.

He served in the war.

His generation were all drafted.

[detective] True, but...

very few were put on trial.

It's a loan.

Think of it that way.

What is this?

It's not my son's money. It's mine.

The money I saved
from selling the restaurant.

But why are you giving me this?

Because you don't have much time left.

Neither of us do.

I can't possibly take this.

I don't need it.

[Kato sighs]

Perhaps then we can go together.

What do you think?

Will you consider it?

I would very much like
to see America with you.

[Sunja, in English] Dear Lord,

we thank you for the food
you have provided us tonight.

We also are thankful for all that
you have so blessed us with.

You provide for us and keep us safe.

I know it is selfish
to ask for anything more,

but as we prepare
for our Noa to leave his home here,

I ask you to watch over him
and keep him safe from harm, my Lord.

Many souls get lost in that big city
where he is attending school.

I pray that
as he continues on this journey

that You please guide his path forward,
so he may never lose his way.

He is a good boy.

It is all thanks to you, Lord.

That, I am grateful for.

In Your son Jesus' name, we pray.

- Amen.
- [Kyunghee, Mozasu repeat]

[Kyunghee] That was beautiful.

That was wonderful.

Brother, do you think
you'll find food like this at Waseda?

[all laughing]

When you arrive,
find a church that's nearby,

to help you while you're there, all right?

All right.

[footsteps approaching]

[Kyunghee] Yoseb.

I didn't think
you would be ready to eat yet.

The final night with my eldest nephew...

And I'm not invited?

Is that how little respect
I get in this house?

[Kyunghee] My apologies.

[Yoseb sighs]

[liquid pouring]

Is this it?

This is how you send him off?

[sighs]

Uncle, I promise you,
this is a feast to me.

[cutlery clanks]

[Yoseb] Have you even tasted this?

Have you? How can we possibly eat this?

Why do you always oversalt the food?

[Kyunghee] I'm sorry.

- I'll make you something else.
- [Yoseb] Don't bother.

It'll be the same as this.

How much longer will you go on like this?

What?

Where are your manners? [exclaims]

Is this what's happened while I've taken
my eyes off you the last few years?

You need to listen.

If you followed your brother's example,
you would be better off right now!

Uncle, please!

I came up short
when compared to my brother.

I know that.

I'll never be as smart as he is,
or as good-natured or generous.

And he deserves it
because of his hard work.

But Auntie works so hard as well.

- Mozasu, that's enough.
- What did she do so wrong?

Or any of us?

It's not like what happened to you
was our fault!

[whispers] Mozasu.

He's right about it, though.

Noa.

What's happening?

Mozasu, help me.

[Yoseb] What are you doing?

[Noa] We're taking you out.

Stop that.

I said stop.

- Get away!
- Noa.

Uncle, do this for me, just this once!

[grunts] I can't!

[gasping, panting]

Let him be.

He's not ready yet.

Then when?

He hasn't left the house in five years.

How much longer are we to go on like this?

[Sunja] Enough now.

[Yoseb] I'll do it.

I'll do it.

[Mozasu] Be careful.

[Yoseb breathing shakily]

[continues breathing shakily]

I can't.

I'm sorry.

Don't give up, Uncle.

Haven't you faced much worse than this?

[Yoseb sniffles]

[sighs] Oh, Yoseb.

[Sunja] Kyunghee... Give him a chance.

[Yoseb breathing heavily]

[crowd cheering]

What is this?

Uncle, we're almost there.

[crowd cheering]

[crowd cheering]

- [whistle blows]
- [umpire, in Japanese] Batter up!

- [spectator] It's that runt again.
- [spectator 2 laughs]

[crowd chattering indistinctly]

[umpire] Strike!

[spectator 3]
Try swinging the bat this time.

[umpire] Strike two!

- [spectator 3] He hit it!
- [crowd cheering]

Run!

Run! Go! Go! Go!

[Noa] Faster!

- Keep going!
- Circle the bases!

Go!

- [cheers]
- Faster!

- [umpire] Safe!
- Home run!

[chattering]

[footsteps approaching]

[Sunja, in English]
How did you get the watch back?

[Hansu] The pawnbroker.

I told you.

You were never lost to me.

[Sunja] But why burden him with that?

Sunja...

That watch saved you as it saved me.

Now, it's in Noa's hands.

You don't need to worry for Noa.

He'll flourish. You'll see.

To be honest...

My daughter is the one I worry about.

She's marrying a man who despises me.

He's Japanese.

Is that the reason he despises you?

I suppose that's why.

With these things,
it's hard to be certain.

The things left unsaid may be
more truthful than what is said aloud.

Do you think
he'll be good to your daughter?

I don't know.

[sighs] You said so yourself.

Marriage...

It's just a mere formality.

It seems to have worked out for you.

Is that how you see it?

[chuckles]

Why would you ask me that?

I should go inside now.

The boys will be back soon.

Sunja.

Do you remember?

Those days we spent at the laundry cove.

How happy we were then.

But too naive to know it.

I'm rotting inside now.

And the longer I dwell in these shadows...

the more this rot festers inside of me.

I feel it.

What am I to do?

This rot that grows within you...

You must cut it out of you.

Sunja.

Thank you.

NADAGAWA NEWSPAPER
AUGUST 3, 1948

MASSACRE OF POWS
ON PALAWAN ISLAND

[Sunja] Why did you do this?

Is it because he's poor?

I did it because we have money.

I'm sorry it turned out this way.

However, isn't it better
to know the truth?

What do you suppose the truth is, then?

Well...

139.

That's the number of American POWs
his unit massacred during the war.

How can you possibly say that's okay?

Did you hear me say that?

And how long were you with Etsuko?

Solomon is seeing a girl.
He's found a Japanese girlfriend.

Why is it okay for the two of you...

But for me to just have a new friend...

A new friend?

Yes, a friend.

Because I am lonely.

Too many of those I have loved...

They are gone.

Listen to your teacher, understand?

And come back when you miss my food.

- I will.
- Okay, come here.

[Sunja] That's enough.

Mother, we'll miss our train like this.

[Kyunghee]
You'll write us often, won't you?

Otherwise, we'll worry.

I will.

I promise.

- [sobs]
- [Yoseb] You heard your mother.

You need to go.

We already said our goodbyes.

[sighs]

[sighs, breathes heavily]

Brother!

[breathes shakily]

Don't go.

[in Japanese]
I can't make it without you.

[breathes heavily]

You said it yourself.
You're going to America.

You have your dreams too.

Fight for them.

You hear me?

That's all you need to do.

[in English] Look straight ahead, Mozasu.

Always look straight ahead.

[train whistle blows]

[administrator] Next in line please.

- Name?
- Bando, Nobuo.

Oh, it's you.

Hey! Bring over that special delivery.

Yes, sir.

[grunting]

[in English] Noa, what is this?

I'm not sure.

BANDO NOBUO

[administrator, in Japanese] It arrived
this morning in a chauffeured car.

It surprised everyone.

[in English] You were looking for me, sir?

How long have you and those fools
been hanging together?

I assure you, they are all good men.

And what do those good men have to say?

The war isn't going well for us back home.

For "us"?

The Northern army.

[sighs]

I would...

like to join the Northern army.

Why would you want
to do something so stupid?

It's our country.

Those are our people.

Our people are in the south as well.

It's the luck of the draw
which side one was born in.

There's no Providence there.

I long to return home, sir.

For people like me and you...

There is no home.

You've made up your mind already?

Yes.

I have one more job that needs to be done.

After that, you're free to go your own way

Who is it?

No, it's not like that.

You're going to help me
make a friend this time.

You should head back to your room
and rest.

- Mother...
- It'll be easier for me this way.

Don't be concerned.

I'll find my way.

Noa.

Your grandfather...

When I was young,
he told me he wanted me to fly.

High above in the sky.

He said that way, I could see from there
just how big this world really is.

Now it's your turn, Noa.

You'll have to fly high.

[chuckles]

But can you promise me something?

Every so often...

Come back and tell me what you see.

I would like for you to tell me...

...just how big the world is
from up there.

Of course I will.

[Sunja breathes shakily]

You're all packed.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I'll leave soon.

I'm joining the fight
with our Northern brothers.

Why do such a thing?

You're not even from the North.

I can't just stay here
and continue to do nothing about it.

You mean like me?

You have a family who needs you.

I just wanted to tell you
that I'm grateful.

For allowing me into this home.

You should be thanking her.

- It wasn't my decision.
- But you gave me your permission.

Did I?

I didn't have a choice in the matter.

[Yoseb sighs]

This thing you want to do...

I cannot understand it.

But in truth...

It's a choice that I respect.

And perhaps...

[inhales deeply] ...it's the reason
why she loves you so deeply.

I've seen the two of you.

The way she looks at you.

No matter how much I have prayed for it...

She has never looked at me like that.

It was never my intention
to cause you harm, I promise.

But you did, though.

[sighs]

I am sorry for it.

I'm asking you to stay.

Because if you leave her...

She will shatter.

She's a lot stronger than you think.

[Yoseb]
I don't want that kind of strength!

I don't want her to be a martyr.

And I don't want to be her cage.

She...

She deserves so much more

than what I'm capable of giving her.

Kyunghee... She's always deserved more.

[sighs]

So tell her...

Go tell her.

I'm letting her go now.

Do you hear me?

I won't be the wall to stand in her way.

I can't.

[Mr. Kim] Not like this.

Not with you in the deficit.

[sighs]

Mr. Kim.

Yoseb knows.

You don't need to worry.

He's made peace with it.

He said

that he'll let you go.

Kyunghee.

Kyunghee, please say something.

So, the two of you decided
what is to come of me?

Is that what happened?
[breathes shakily]

That's not how it was.

[Kyunghee] Then it was a negotiation?

No, of course not.

Kyunghee, you know my feelings for you.

Ever since that night at the farm,
I've never wavered.

I just never thought we had a chance.

Kyunghee?

That night...

I broke my vows.

And hours later...

My husband was nearly obliterated.

You can't think it was because of us.

It makes no sense. I know how it sounds.

I've long accepted that.

I am aware that
I am meaningless to this world.

But when I learned of the bomb,

I stayed up all night praying.

Begging the Lord to save him.

And so I made a covenant.

[sighs]

And my husband returned to us.

[sighs]

But I love you. With all my heart.

And you love me as well. I know it.

And that love...

It terrifies me. [sighs]

[breathes shakily]

[breathes shakily] You will go.

You will fight, and you will survive.

[sighs] You must.

Because the thought of being
in a world that you're not in,

I cannot bear it.

And when it's all over, come back to us.

[sighs]

Bring your wife
and your beautiful children.

You will do that, won't you?

Don't do this.

[crying]

[crowd applauding, cheering]

[student, in Japanese]
Down with the Americans!

They promised to understand
our culture and traditions,

only to make us pawns
in their imperialist conquests!

Their evil designs have
now reached our campus.

Now is the time for us
to rise up and fight!

Tell me.

Are you brave enough to join us?

To demand an end to these vicious purges.

- Will you rise with me?
- [crowd applauds]

[student] Then join our fight!

[crowd cheering]

Why did you ask to meet me?

Who are you?

Forgive me for alarming you.

I am Yoshii Isamu.

I've come to thank you
for your help with the markets.

How did you get in here?

I came in through the entrance.

Where is Hansu?

Where is he?

He is there watching us.

[Isamu grunts]

[Ryochi groans]

[groaning]
