00:00:43.377 --> 00:00:45.546
From time to time,

00:00:48.048 --> 00:00:51.176
she starts sneaking into Yamaga's house.

00:00:52.678 --> 00:00:54.054
Yamaga?

00:00:54.846 --> 00:01:00.394
The name of her first love.
He's a high school classmate.

00:01:01.353 --> 00:01:04.398
He's not aware of her love for him.

00:01:04.982 --> 00:01:09.027
She doesn't want him to know,
so that's OK with her.

00:01:09.820 --> 00:01:12.823
But she wants to know more about him.

00:01:13.699 --> 00:01:16.493
She wants to know everything about him,

00:01:16.994 --> 00:01:19.538
without letting him know about her.

00:01:22.165 --> 00:01:24.501
So she sneaks in.

00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:26.128
Right.

00:01:27.337 --> 00:01:33.051
When he's attending classes,
she feigns illness and leaves early.

00:01:33.844 --> 00:01:37.639
Yamaga's an only child
and his dad's an office worker.

00:01:38.015 --> 00:01:40.475
His mom's a school teacher.

00:01:42.561 --> 00:01:47.065
So the girl knows there's
nobody at home during the day.

00:01:49.276 --> 00:01:53.739
How does she sneak in?
She's just an ordinary teenager.

00:01:54.323 --> 00:02:00.454
She takes a guess and searches under
a potted plant by the front door.

00:02:00.912 --> 00:02:02.789
There's a key.

00:02:04.958 --> 00:02:06.960
What a careless family.

00:02:09.171 --> 00:02:12.174
She uses it to let herself
into the house.

00:02:13.967 --> 00:02:16.928
She goes upstairs and opens a door.

00:02:17.763 --> 00:02:23.977
The number on the soccer uniform
on a hanger tells her it's his room.

00:02:25.187 --> 00:02:28.732
The room is tidy for a 17-year-old boy,

00:02:28.857 --> 00:02:34.613
and she senses that he has controlling
parents, his mom in particular.

00:02:38.033 --> 00:02:39.910
She breathes in.

00:02:41.578 --> 00:02:43.580
She listens carefully.

00:02:45.290 --> 00:02:47.292
She hears silence.

00:02:49.378 --> 00:02:55.217
An amplified silence, like the sound
through a hearing aid, fills the room.

00:02:59.012 --> 00:03:02.182
She lies down on Yamaga's bed.

00:03:05.185 --> 00:03:08.605
She holds back the urge to masturbate.

00:03:16.363 --> 00:03:20.992
Why? The limits of a television drama?

00:03:22.035 --> 00:03:23.620
No.

00:03:24.955 --> 00:03:27.958
She has her own set of rules.

00:03:28.917 --> 00:03:32.379
Things she'll allow or
won't allow herself to do.

00:03:36.425 --> 00:03:41.555
She can sneak into his house,
but not masturbate there.

00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:42.931
Right.

00:04:06.955 --> 00:04:11.293
Then she leaves an unused tampon
in his room.

00:04:11.418 --> 00:04:12.878
A tampon?

00:04:13.295 --> 00:04:15.839
- That's what you said.
- That's so weird.

00:04:16.214 --> 00:04:19.718
More so than usual.
Can this be adapted for TV?

00:04:20.177 --> 00:04:25.015
Don't worry. The producer said
it's for an innovative late-night slot.

00:04:26.016 --> 00:04:27.309
If you say so.

00:04:27.851 --> 00:04:31.855
So she takes out an unused tampon
from her school bag

00:04:32.063 --> 00:04:34.566
and puts it in a drawer in his desk.

00:04:35.817 --> 00:04:38.445
What if his overprotective mom finds it?

00:04:38.653 --> 00:04:41.907
She feels a rush of excitement
at the thought.

00:04:42.741 --> 00:04:44.284
She's kinky.

00:04:44.618 --> 00:04:48.371
The tampon is a token indicating
she was really there.

00:04:48.497 --> 00:04:49.623
A token.

00:04:49.748 --> 00:04:53.710
She continues sneaking in
from time to time after that.

00:04:54.503 --> 00:04:56.546
She's aware of the risks.

00:04:57.005 --> 00:05:01.134
She's the type who is trusted
by her parents and teachers,

00:05:01.301 --> 00:05:03.220
So a lot is at stake.

00:05:04.221 --> 00:05:06.431
Nevertheless, she can't stop.

00:05:06.890 --> 00:05:08.558
She can't stop.

00:05:09.142 --> 00:05:13.313
She sniffs around in his room,
longing for his slightest scent.

00:05:14.397 --> 00:05:17.984
She always takes a token
from his room when she leaves.

00:05:19.027 --> 00:05:22.447
A pencil or something that
he won't notice is gone.

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.409
And in exchange,
she leaves a token of herself.

00:05:27.911 --> 00:05:29.704
At her most daring moment,

00:05:29.996 --> 00:05:35.377
she took off her underwear and
put it deep in his chest of drawers.

00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:42.926
She feels that they are gradually
mingling by exchanging such tokens.

00:05:43.301 --> 00:05:48.723
And that she is giving him the strength
to escape his mother's control.

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:52.060
That's it for today.

00:05:52.644 --> 00:05:54.062
I see.

00:05:54.855 --> 00:05:56.773
Want to know the rest?

00:05:57.065 --> 00:05:58.984
Yeah, I do.

00:06:00.569 --> 00:06:04.364
Shall I wait, or shall I write it? Which??

00:06:06.032 --> 00:06:07.742
You can still wait.

00:06:08.159 --> 00:06:11.830
Yeah. I want to know the rest, too.

00:06:12.247 --> 00:06:13.331
You really don't know?

00:06:13.456 --> 00:06:15.250
I never do, do I?

00:06:15.834 --> 00:06:19.838
Well, I thought maybe this time
It was about your first love.

00:06:20.005 --> 00:06:21.631
Of course it's not!

00:06:37.188 --> 00:06:38.273
Thanks.

00:06:44.738 --> 00:06:46.740
- Hello.
- Hello.

00:06:52.454 --> 00:06:54.289
When does the curtain go up?

00:06:54.414 --> 00:06:57.000
6:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:00.

00:06:57.125 --> 00:06:59.127
I'll be cutting it close.

00:06:59.252 --> 00:07:02.756
Don't bother coming. You shouldn't
slip out of a meeting.

00:07:03.381 --> 00:07:05.842
I'll bother. I want to see your play.

00:07:06.468 --> 00:07:08.803
- Break a leg.
- Thanks.

00:07:34.371 --> 00:07:36.039
Not worth a curse.

00:07:36.289 --> 00:07:38.583
(You say we have to come back tomorrow?)

00:07:39.084 --> 00:07:40.335
Yes.

00:07:41.544 --> 00:07:44.506
(Then we can bring a good bit of rope.)

00:07:45.924 --> 00:07:47.217
Yes.

00:07:50.595 --> 00:07:51.888
(Didi?)

00:07:52.097 --> 00:07:52.973
Yes.

00:07:53.974 --> 00:07:56.101
(I can't go on like this.)

00:07:58.186 --> 00:08:00.313
That's what you think.

00:08:01.481 --> 00:08:05.777
(If we parted?
That might be better for us.)

00:08:08.905 --> 00:08:10.865
We'll hang ourselves tomorrow.

00:08:13.243 --> 00:08:15.453
Unless Godot comes.

00:08:15.870 --> 00:08:17.872
(And if he comes?)

00:08:19.916 --> 00:08:21.710
We'll be saved.

00:08:33.972 --> 00:08:36.016
(Well? Shall we go?)

00:08:36.516 --> 00:08:37.517
Pull on your trousers.

00:08:37.684 --> 00:08:38.476
(What?)

00:08:39.602 --> 00:08:40.812
Pull on your trousers.

00:08:51.281 --> 00:08:52.490
May I come in?

00:08:52.657 --> 00:08:54.034
Come in.

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:03.418
What?

00:09:04.127 --> 00:09:05.503
It was great.

00:09:06.421 --> 00:09:08.339
Yeah? I'm glad.

00:09:09.007 --> 00:09:10.884
May I introduce someone now?

00:09:11.009 --> 00:09:12.218
Yeah, after I change...

00:09:12.343 --> 00:09:13.678
Takatsuki.

00:09:15.972 --> 00:09:17.974
Hello, I'm Takatsuki.

00:09:18.975 --> 00:09:20.602
Your wife kindly invited me.

00:09:20.727 --> 00:09:21.978
Don't say "wife."

00:09:22.103 --> 00:09:23.980
I see you a lot on TV.

00:09:24.105 --> 00:09:25.315
Thank you.

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.026
He's in my new one, too. A good role.

00:09:28.151 --> 00:09:29.319
He always has a good role.

00:09:29.444 --> 00:09:33.198
Better than ever.
He's the heroine's love interest.

00:09:33.406 --> 00:09:35.033
Yes.

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.870
When I mentioned your play
during the production meeting,

00:09:39.412 --> 00:09:40.997
he said he wanted to come.

00:09:42.415 --> 00:09:45.794
I'd heard about your methods
and was interested.

00:09:46.044 --> 00:09:49.005
They're so different. Multilingual.

00:09:50.215 --> 00:09:55.720
I'm not sure if this is the right
sentiment, but it was moving.

00:09:55.929 --> 00:09:59.724
Really? You're a strange young man.

00:09:59.891 --> 00:10:01.184
Oto, please.

00:10:01.434 --> 00:10:02.393
It's true.

00:10:02.644 --> 00:10:04.604
Yes, thank you.

00:10:04.729 --> 00:10:05.563
Don't thank me.

00:10:05.688 --> 00:10:07.857
I need to change, so maybe later.

00:10:09.067 --> 00:10:10.401
Excuse me.

00:10:11.569 --> 00:10:12.737
Good work.

00:11:16.134 --> 00:11:18.136
Sorry, did I wake you?

00:11:19.554 --> 00:11:20.972
You must be tired.

00:11:29.022 --> 00:11:32.233
My flight's Narita at 9:00, gotta run.

00:11:32.358 --> 00:11:33.818
See you.

00:11:34.402 --> 00:11:35.778
See you.

00:11:51.336 --> 00:11:52.629
You didn't have to come.

00:11:52.795 --> 00:11:54.464
Here. <i>Uncle Vanya.</i>

00:11:55.006 --> 00:11:57.717
I recorded it.
About time you need it, right?

00:11:58.343 --> 00:11:59.552
Thanks.

00:12:03.640 --> 00:12:05.183
You'll miss your flight.

00:12:07.227 --> 00:12:09.646
See you. Take care.

00:12:10.021 --> 00:12:11.481
See you.

00:12:33.461 --> 00:12:35.713
<i>Here, have some tea.</i>

00:12:36.631 --> 00:12:38.967
<i>I don't feel like drinking tea.</i>

00:12:39.968 --> 00:12:42.303
<i>How about vodka, then?</i>

00:12:44.555 --> 00:12:46.933
Nobody knows how I feel.

00:12:47.350 --> 00:12:50.895
I can't sleep at night
from frustration and anger.

00:12:51.771 --> 00:12:53.856
I've wasted my time.

00:12:54.274 --> 00:12:57.443
I could have attained so much from life,

00:12:57.902 --> 00:13:00.530
but it's too late now at this age.

00:13:00.989 --> 00:13:04.826
<i>Uncle Vanya, that's so boring.</i>

00:13:05.285 --> 00:13:10.623
<i>You speak as if your former convictions
were somehow to blame.</i>

00:13:11.165 --> 00:13:14.377
<i>But your convictions were not at fault.</i>

00:13:14.961 --> 00:13:17.297
<i>You were the one at fault.</i>

00:17:18.913 --> 00:17:22.416
- Hi there.
- <i>Hi. Did you get there all right?</i>

00:17:22.542 --> 00:17:23.626
Yeah.

00:17:24.085 --> 00:17:25.920
<i>Jury duty starts tomorrow?</i>

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:27.213
Yeah.

00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:29.757
<i>How's your hotel? Comfy?</i>

00:17:30.049 --> 00:17:31.884
They're all the same.

00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:35.179
<i>Try any Vladivostok specialties?</i>

00:17:35.638 --> 00:17:37.473
What's the specialty?

00:17:37.848 --> 00:17:40.017
<i>I don't know, so I'm asking you.</i>

00:17:40.393 --> 00:17:41.978
How lazy.

00:18:04.458 --> 00:18:08.296
<i>A week later</i>

00:18:18.973 --> 00:18:24.312
For 25 years he's been pretending
to be someone he's not.

00:18:24.687 --> 00:18:29.317
Look at that swagger, acting like
he's some kind of lord.

00:18:31.235 --> 00:18:35.156
<i>You envy him, don't you?</i>

00:18:36.991 --> 00:18:40.828
Yes, I do. I envy him a lot.

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.415
Such good luck with women!

00:18:45.583 --> 00:18:50.171
Don Juan himself couldn't have
had more experience.

00:18:51.631 --> 00:18:55.468
His first wife, who was my sister...

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:16.030
Hey.

00:19:17.907 --> 00:19:18.949
What a relief.

00:19:20.201 --> 00:19:21.869
I'm OK.

00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:24.497
You're really all right?

00:19:24.705 --> 00:19:26.123
I don't know yet.

00:19:27.208 --> 00:19:30.378
They examined me.
Still waiting for the results.

00:19:32.171 --> 00:19:34.048
Glaucoma in your left eye.

00:19:35.383 --> 00:19:37.009
Glaucoma?

00:19:37.426 --> 00:19:41.097
Damage to the optic nerve
causing partial vision loss.

00:19:42.139 --> 00:19:47.269
Loss of vision in one eye is hard
to detect because the other eye adapts.

00:19:47.687 --> 00:19:51.315
Which means that it doesn't
impact daily activities,

00:19:51.524 --> 00:19:55.069
and by the time one notices it,
it's often too late.

00:19:55.736 --> 00:19:58.906
You were lucky it was diagnosed early.

00:20:02.118 --> 00:20:03.786
Can I drive?

00:20:04.078 --> 00:20:05.788
It's not impossible.

00:20:06.414 --> 00:20:07.832
That means I can?

00:20:07.998 --> 00:20:10.710
Yes, if your symptoms don't worsen.

00:20:10.918 --> 00:20:12.503
How is it treated?

00:20:14.422 --> 00:20:18.592
The root cause of glaucoma is
still unknown, so it can't be cured.

00:20:18.926 --> 00:20:21.512
The goal is to slow its progression.

00:20:22.972 --> 00:20:25.433
These eye drops lower eye pressure.

00:20:26.767 --> 00:20:32.064
You might doubt the effect, but you'll
lose your vision if you stop using it.

00:20:39.405 --> 00:20:42.491
Make sure you use them twice daily.

00:20:48.998 --> 00:20:52.001
<i>"Died February 25, 2001"</i>

00:21:26.786 --> 00:21:30.164
You wanted to drive today, didn't you?

00:21:31.540 --> 00:21:32.583
Why?

00:21:32.875 --> 00:21:35.461
Well, you just got your car back.

00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.633
I love you dearly, but...

00:21:41.509 --> 00:21:43.052
What, all of a sudden?

00:21:43.552 --> 00:21:45.971
There's one thing I can't stand.

00:21:47.431 --> 00:21:48.682
What?

00:21:49.809 --> 00:21:52.686
Your driving. Face forward.

00:21:55.898 --> 00:21:58.984
Why didn't you change lanes just now?

00:22:00.027 --> 00:22:03.239
Hey, that could be considered
verbal harassment.

00:22:12.122 --> 00:22:14.166
Honestly speaking...

00:22:17.545 --> 00:22:19.797
did you want kids again?

00:22:26.345 --> 00:22:27.930
I don't know.

00:22:29.515 --> 00:22:32.309
Nobody can take her place, after all.

00:22:32.643 --> 00:22:34.687
But we could have loved them as much.

00:22:35.396 --> 00:22:39.149
There's no use in me wanting
something that you don't want.

00:22:40.734 --> 00:22:42.027
I'm sorry.

00:22:43.612 --> 00:22:48.284
It's not your fault.
I made that choice with you.

00:22:49.034 --> 00:22:50.619
So it's all right.

00:22:55.207 --> 00:22:56.500
I...

00:22:57.334 --> 00:22:59.920
really do love you so much.

00:23:03.632 --> 00:23:04.967
Thanks.

00:23:07.553 --> 00:23:11.223
I'm so glad you're with me.

00:25:22.730 --> 00:25:28.318
One day, she remembers
her previous existence.

00:25:32.406 --> 00:25:35.117
You mean that girl who sneaks in?

00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:40.706
She used to be a lamprey
in her previous life.

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:45.669
A lamprey?

00:25:47.004 --> 00:25:50.257
She was a noble lamprey.

00:25:51.300 --> 00:25:53.927
She didn't leech off the fish

00:25:54.261 --> 00:25:58.098
that passed overhead
like other lampreys did.

00:25:59.933 --> 00:26:05.189
She fastened her suction cup-like mouth
to a rock on the riverbed

00:26:05.606 --> 00:26:08.108
and did nothing but sway there.

00:26:19.787 --> 00:26:21.580
Until she wasted away

00:26:22.623 --> 00:26:26.168
and really became like riverweed,

00:26:26.877 --> 00:26:30.172
she clung to the rock.

00:26:32.633 --> 00:26:35.761
She doesn't remember how she died.

00:26:37.096 --> 00:26:39.014
Did she starve to death?

00:26:39.807 --> 00:26:42.392
Was she eaten by other fish?

00:26:43.393 --> 00:26:48.190
All she remembers is swaying
at the bottom of the river.

00:26:59.493 --> 00:27:04.081
In Yamaga's room,
she suddenly understands.

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:10.129
What she's doing here is the same.

00:27:13.298 --> 00:27:19.638
She can't tear herself away from his room,
just like how she clung to a rock.

00:27:31.567 --> 00:27:36.321
Come to think of it,
the silence in this room

00:27:37.531 --> 00:27:40.242
is very similar to under water.

00:27:45.289 --> 00:27:47.374
Time stands still.

00:27:51.170 --> 00:27:55.632
Past and present fade away.

00:27:57.843 --> 00:27:59.887
And she...

00:28:01.180 --> 00:28:04.057
becomes a lamprey again.

00:28:07.144 --> 00:28:09.021
She...

00:28:09.938 --> 00:28:14.151
begins to masturbate on Yamaga's bed.

00:28:15.611 --> 00:28:19.907
She strips off all her clothes
one layer at a time.

00:28:26.663 --> 00:28:29.041
She'd forbidden herself from doing it,

00:28:30.667 --> 00:28:32.836
but now she can't stop.

00:28:34.504 --> 00:28:36.590
Tears fall,

00:28:37.466 --> 00:28:39.218
wetting the pillow.

00:28:41.637 --> 00:28:46.683
She thinks that those tears
are her token for today.

00:28:49.061 --> 00:28:53.232
Just then, someone comes home.

00:29:02.783 --> 00:29:06.870
A door opens downstairs.

00:29:09.331 --> 00:29:14.586
She notices then that it's starting
to get dark outside the window.

00:29:15.504 --> 00:29:16.838
Is it Yamaga?

00:29:17.506 --> 00:29:19.091
Or his father?

00:29:20.008 --> 00:29:21.677
His mother?

00:29:22.344 --> 00:29:26.390
She hears that person
coming up the stairs.

00:29:28.517 --> 00:29:29.851
It's over.

00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.398
But now, she can stop at last.

00:29:36.483 --> 00:29:39.236
At last, it'll all end.

00:29:40.237 --> 00:29:45.033
She can finally escape
the karmic fate from her prior life.

00:29:46.410 --> 00:29:50.580
She'll become a new person.

00:29:53.750 --> 00:29:56.795
The door opens.

00:30:32.164 --> 00:30:35.292
"Neither eel nor fish!? Lamprey"

00:31:10.118 --> 00:31:13.538
Do you remember yesterday's story?

00:31:15.165 --> 00:31:19.503
Sorry, I don't remember clearly.
I was pretty much asleep.

00:31:19.628 --> 00:31:20.670
I see.

00:31:20.796 --> 00:31:22.172
Sorry.

00:31:23.048 --> 00:31:26.176
That just means
it wasn't worth remembering.

00:31:28.011 --> 00:31:29.221
I have to go.

00:31:29.971 --> 00:31:31.556
You have plans today?

00:31:31.681 --> 00:31:35.102
I'm teaching a workshop.
Didn't I tell you?

00:31:35.310 --> 00:31:36.561
No.

00:31:36.728 --> 00:31:38.063
Sorry.

00:31:38.688 --> 00:31:39.856
Are you driving?

00:31:39.981 --> 00:31:41.858
Yeah.

00:31:48.907 --> 00:31:51.618
Sorry, I still had it.

00:31:52.369 --> 00:31:53.453
Thanks.

00:31:53.578 --> 00:31:54.788
Can you handle it?

00:31:55.038 --> 00:31:57.374
- I'll be fine. See you...
- Yusuke.

00:31:58.083 --> 00:32:00.544
When you return tonight, can we talk?

00:32:01.253 --> 00:32:04.381
Of course. Why do you ask?

00:32:05.757 --> 00:32:08.218
- Have a nice day.
- You too.

00:32:15.392 --> 00:32:18.645
<i>Is she faithful to him?</i>

00:32:18.937 --> 00:32:21.398
Yes, unfortunately.

00:32:22.732 --> 00:32:25.569
<i>Why unfortunately?</i>

00:32:26.403 --> 00:32:31.116
Because that woman's fidelity is a lie
through and through.

00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:36.163
There's an abundance of rhetoric,
but no logic in it.

00:32:41.251 --> 00:32:43.003
My life is lost,

00:32:43.587 --> 00:32:45.297
there's no turning back.

00:32:45.714 --> 00:32:50.927
That thought haunts me
like an evil spirit day and night.

00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:55.599
My past went by without event.
It's unimportant.

00:32:56.475 --> 00:32:57.934
But the present

00:32:59.102 --> 00:33:00.604
is worse.

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.943
What should I do about
my life and my love?

00:33:07.652 --> 00:33:08.987
What happened...

00:33:12.073 --> 00:33:15.368
<i>When you speak to me
of love and romance,</i>

00:33:16.077 --> 00:33:18.497
<i>I feel like I'm in a daze</i>

00:33:18.955 --> 00:33:21.791
<i>and don't know what to say.</i>

<i>Oh, ho. The Lord have mercy.</i>

00:33:36.306 --> 00:33:37.641
Sonya.

00:33:38.808 --> 00:33:40.393
I'm miserable.

00:33:41.311 --> 00:33:44.189
If you only knew how miserable I am.

00:33:44.481 --> 00:33:48.693
<i>What can we do? We must live our lives.</i>

00:33:50.445 --> 00:33:53.990
<i>Yes, we shall live, Uncle Vanya.</i>

00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.577
<i>We'll live through the long, long days,</i>

00:33:58.286 --> 00:34:00.664
<i>and through the long nights.</i>

00:34:01.957 --> 00:34:05.752
<i>We'll patiently endure the trials
that fate sends our way.</i>

00:34:06.378 --> 00:34:11.049
<i>Even if we can't rest,
well work for others</i>

00:34:11.967 --> 00:34:16.555
<i>both now and when we have grown old.</i>

00:34:17.889 --> 00:34:21.059
<i>And when our last hour comes</i>

00:34:21.351 --> 00:34:23.353
<i>well go quietly.</i>

00:34:24.646 --> 00:34:27.190
<i>And in the great beyond,
we'll say to Him</i>

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:30.902
<i>that we suffered,</i>

00:34:32.696 --> 00:34:34.573

Oto.

00:35:45.143 --> 00:35:46.603
Hello?

00:35:47.562 --> 00:35:49.272

<i>"Oto Kafuku Funeral Service"</i>

00:36:28.353 --> 00:36:30.814
So sudden... a cerebral hemorrhage.

00:36:46.705 --> 00:36:51.084
<i>For 25 years he's been pretending
to be someone he's not.</i>

00:36:51.334 --> 00:36:55.338
Look at that swagger, acting like
he's some kind of lord.

00:36:55.839 --> 00:36:59.634
(You envy him, don't you?)

00:36:59.759 --> 00:37:03.680
Yes, I do. I envy him a lot.

00:37:09.185 --> 00:37:12.605
His first wife, who was my sister,

00:37:12.731 --> 00:37:15.734
was a wonderful, kind woman.

00:37:19.863 --> 00:37:22.615
And she loved him
from the bottom of her heart,

00:37:23.408 --> 00:37:27.871
the way an untainted, noble human
loves an angel.

00:37:31.249 --> 00:37:37.046
And his second wife, as you can see,
is a lovely, smart woman.

00:37:42.385 --> 00:37:43.887
Why?

00:37:46.598 --> 00:37:48.349
(Is she faithful to him?)

00:37:49.267 --> 00:37:52.604
Yes, unfortunately.

(Why unfortunately?)

00:37:58.735 --> 00:38:00.320
Because

00:38:03.698 --> 00:38:05.742
that woman's fidelity

00:38:09.245 --> 00:38:11.247
is a lie through and through.

00:38:25.887 --> 00:38:27.430
(Vanya...)

00:38:38.858 --> 00:38:40.610

Long time no see, Ms. Yuzuhara.

Let me introduce you. Yoon-su
will participate as the dramaturge.

00:42:36.512 --> 00:42:37.930
We've exchanged e-mails.

00:42:39.724 --> 00:42:41.851
As we explained over e-mail,

00:42:41.976 --> 00:42:47.523
your residency will be for 2 months
until December, starting today.

00:42:47.732 --> 00:42:51.194
6 weeks of rehearsals and
2 weeks of performances.

Thank you.

We informed theaters around Asia,

00:43:06.042 --> 00:43:09.295
and received applications from Korea,
China, Hong Kong,

Taiwan, and the Philippines.

Yes.

00:43:21.265 --> 00:43:27.480
Actors from overseas were recommended
by the local theaters' program directors.

00:43:27.605 --> 00:43:31.109

applications from within Japan.

I'll have a look. Can't wait.

00:43:39.242 --> 00:43:41.285
Now let's go to your residence.

00:43:41.536 --> 00:43:47.333
We found a place about an hour away
by car, just like you requested.

00:43:47.542 --> 00:43:48.668
Thank you.

00:43:48.793 --> 00:43:51.337
On a scenic island, since you're here.

00:43:51.587 --> 00:43:52.588
An island, huh?

00:43:52.713 --> 00:43:57.426
Also, we've hired a driver for you
according to our rules.

00:43:57.718 --> 00:44:01.931
So our driver will be handling
your car, is that all right?

00:44:02.098 --> 00:44:05.268
About that... I'll drive my own car.

00:44:05.726 --> 00:44:08.688
I've got insurance.
Please don't mind me.

00:44:08.938 --> 00:44:14.026
This isn't about hospitality, actually.
We can't let you drive.

00:44:14.569 --> 00:44:15.528
What do you mean?

00:44:15.653 --> 00:44:19.949
An artist ran over a person
by accident in the past.

00:44:20.074 --> 00:44:20.741
Yes.

00:44:21.784 --> 00:44:25.663
It was terrible. Since then,
it's become the rule

00:44:25.788 --> 00:44:30.042
to provide a driver for
our resident artists, no exceptions.

00:44:35.965 --> 00:44:39.844
I go over my lines while I'm driving.

00:44:40.678 --> 00:44:42.972
It's an important routine for me.

00:44:43.139 --> 00:44:47.643
That's why I asked you to book a hotel
some distance away.

00:44:47.935 --> 00:44:49.312
We're sorry.

00:44:50.146 --> 00:44:53.566
We should have explained
to you more clearly.

00:44:54.650 --> 00:45:00.156
There's a budget set aside for it,
so the theater festival has to use it.

00:45:05.036 --> 00:45:09.498
If it concerns you,
you're welcome to test our driver.

00:45:10.041 --> 00:45:13.920
But don't worry,
the driver is very skilled.

00:45:17.673 --> 00:45:18.925
Let's go.

00:45:23.387 --> 00:45:25.514
Thank you for your understanding.

00:45:36.525 --> 00:45:39.362
I'll follow you in the official car.

00:45:42.531 --> 00:45:45.201
She's your driver.

00:45:47.828 --> 00:45:49.372
I'm Misaki Watari.

00:45:49.747 --> 00:45:53.042
This is Mr. Kafuku, our stage director.

00:45:53.668 --> 00:45:58.130
The festival hires her every year.
She knows the roads well.

00:45:58.422 --> 00:46:00.216
She's an excellent driver.

00:46:01.717 --> 00:46:03.594
Nice to meet you.

00:46:06.013 --> 00:46:11.227
Sorry, but I still haven't agreed
to having you as my driver.

00:46:13.437 --> 00:46:15.564
Is a test drive OK with you?

00:46:15.856 --> 00:46:17.233
Yes, of course.

00:46:17.733 --> 00:46:19.777
No, I'll drive after all.

00:46:21.862 --> 00:46:23.239
I'm sorry.

00:46:24.240 --> 00:46:27.660
Is it because I'm a young woman?

00:46:29.370 --> 00:46:31.455
That's not why.

00:46:32.290 --> 00:46:36.836
This car is pretty old and has quirks.
It's not easy the first time.

00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.088
Very well.

00:46:39.755 --> 00:46:44.593
Then if you sense any danger
in my driving, you take the wheel.

00:46:44.927 --> 00:46:46.345
How does that sound?

00:47:13.456 --> 00:47:15.291
Do you prefer the passenger seat?

00:47:36.729 --> 00:47:37.730
Any problems with

00:47:39.315 --> 00:47:40.983
the electrical components?

00:47:41.108 --> 00:47:42.651
No, none.

00:47:42.860 --> 00:47:47.323
Sorry, but you said it was
an old car, so I had to make sure.

00:47:48.115 --> 00:47:50.534
I've driven it 15 years and no problems.

00:47:51.160 --> 00:47:52.578
I see.

00:49:30.217 --> 00:49:32.428
Could you play the cassette tape?

00:49:34.096 --> 00:49:35.931
The cassette tape?

00:49:38.934 --> 00:49:40.144
Yes.

00:49:45.149 --> 00:49:47.109
<i>I'm leaving.</i>

00:49:48.777 --> 00:49:53.949
<i>Vanya, please just drop it.
Do you hear me?</i>

00:49:54.700 --> 00:49:55.659
I refuse.

00:49:57.578 --> 00:50:00.372
Wait, I'm not done yet.

00:50:01.332 --> 00:50:04.001
You destroyed my life.

00:50:04.627 --> 00:50:06.879
I've never lived.

00:50:08.088 --> 00:50:09.215
Because of you,

00:50:09.340 --> 00:50:14.136
I wasted the best years of my life
and spoiled them.

00:50:15.137 --> 00:50:18.807
You're my foe. My bitter enemy.

00:50:21.435 --> 00:50:23.145
<i>You fool.</i>

00:50:24.271 --> 00:50:28.150
<i>If this estate is yours, then take it,</i>

00:50:29.443 --> 00:50:30.986
<i>I don't want it.</i>

00:50:33.489 --> 00:50:36.659
<i>I'm leaving right now.</i>

00:50:37.535 --> 00:50:39.370
<i>This is like hell.</i>

00:50:40.496 --> 00:50:42.164
<i>I can't stand it.</i>

00:50:44.208 --> 00:50:48.837
I'm gifted and intelligent.
Courageous, too.

00:50:49.380 --> 00:50:54.843
If I'd lived normally, I might have been
another Schopenhauer or Dostoevsky.

00:50:55.135 --> 00:50:56.679
I'm sick of this nonsense.

00:50:56.845 --> 00:50:58.556
I'm losing my mind.

00:50:58.806 --> 00:51:01.767
Mother, I can't take it anymore.

00:51:03.018 --> 00:51:05.229
<i>Listen to the professor.</i>

00:51:06.897 --> 00:51:09.358
Mother, what should I do?

00:51:09.567 --> 00:51:14.697
No, never mind. Don't say anything.
I know what to do.

00:51:14.905 --> 00:51:17.533
I'll make you pay for this.

00:51:55.070 --> 00:51:56.905
Oh, I'll do it.

00:52:32.232 --> 00:52:33.233
What do you think?

00:52:35.778 --> 00:52:38.614
The Setouchi sea is tranquil and lovely.

00:52:41.283 --> 00:52:42.993
Her driving, I mean.

00:52:53.128 --> 00:52:57.299
I'll come pick you up
at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.

00:52:58.634 --> 00:53:01.970
OK. Sorry it's so early.

00:53:02.137 --> 00:53:03.639
No problem.

00:54:21.383 --> 00:54:23.051
Shall I play the tape?

00:54:23.552 --> 00:54:25.387
Yes, please.

00:54:31.560 --> 00:54:34.480
<i>Uncle, are you crying?</i>

00:54:37.024 --> 00:54:41.236
I'm not crying. It's nothing.
Don't be ridiculous.

00:54:42.070 --> 00:54:47.576
Your eyes when you looked at me now
looked exactly like your dead mother.

00:54:48.410 --> 00:54:51.455
Oh, Sonya. Your mother,

00:54:52.372 --> 00:54:54.750
my sister, where is she now?

00:54:59.963 --> 00:55:02.758
You've been ill for such a long time.

00:55:03.801 --> 00:55:07.304
Sonya's mother Vera used to stay awake

00:55:07.888 --> 00:55:10.641
at night for you, too.

00:55:10.933 --> 00:55:13.602
She must have been so worried.

00:55:14.186 --> 00:55:15.813
(Let's go, Marina.)

00:55:16.438 --> 00:55:19.566
Hey, I haven't finished my lines yet.

00:55:19.733 --> 00:55:21.109
Oh, well.

00:55:21.777 --> 00:55:27.783
My own feet are in pain as well.
Such a throbbing pain.

00:55:45.926 --> 00:55:47.803
Next, please.

00:55:52.933 --> 00:55:54.309
Excuse me.

00:56:17.082 --> 00:56:20.085
Koshi Takatsuki.
I'm trying out for Astrov.

00:56:27.968 --> 00:56:32.180
You both requested the same scene,
SO enact it as a pair.

00:56:32.514 --> 00:56:33.557
Yes.

00:56:34.725 --> 00:56:37.519
So she's Yelena, and where from?

00:56:39.688 --> 00:56:41.732
From "You are a cunning woman."

00:56:41.982 --> 00:56:43.025
Yes.

00:56:46.820 --> 00:56:51.033
I don't understand what she's saying.
Is it OK if I try to wing it?

00:56:51.533 --> 00:56:54.036
Yes, go ahead. Whenever you're ready.

00:57:17.267 --> 00:57:20.646
Oh, you are a cunning woman!

00:57:21.271 --> 00:57:22.439
(What do you mean?)

00:57:22.564 --> 00:57:23.649
How cunning you are!

00:57:23.774 --> 00:57:28.737
Assuming Sonya is suffering,
let's set that aside for now.

00:57:28.862 --> 00:57:29.738
But...

00:57:30.405 --> 00:57:32.115
(What are you saying?)

00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:33.825
You know perfectly well

00:57:34.660 --> 00:57:37.579
why I come here every day.

00:57:37.871 --> 00:57:41.792
You know why and
for whose sake I come!

00:57:43.043 --> 00:57:44.586
You're a tigress!

00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:46.546
- My sweet...
- (A tigress?)

00:57:46.964 --> 00:57:48.590
(What do you mean?)

00:57:48.757 --> 00:57:53.095
A sleek, enchanting tigress...

00:57:54.888 --> 00:57:56.348
You must have your victims!

00:57:57.015 --> 00:57:58.642
(Are you out of your mind?)

00:58:00.769 --> 00:58:02.688
How coy you are.

00:58:04.314 --> 00:58:07.359
(I'm not the kind of woman
you think I am.)

00:58:07.567 --> 00:58:09.027
(I swear I'm not that vulgar.)

00:58:09.236 --> 00:58:12.656
No need to swear. Don't waste words.

00:58:13.657 --> 00:58:15.450
You're so beautiful.

00:58:16.994 --> 00:58:18.495
Such lovely hands.

00:58:19.037 --> 00:58:20.664
(Enough of this!)

00:58:23.291 --> 00:58:24.835
Listen to me.

00:58:26.003 --> 00:58:28.463
This is fate, it's inevitable.

00:58:33.427 --> 00:58:36.513
(Please stop this.)

00:58:36.638 --> 00:58:38.265
(Let go of me.)

00:58:38.473 --> 00:58:41.810
Meet me in the forest tomorrow.

00:58:42.811 --> 00:58:44.187
At 2 o'clock.

00:58:44.521 --> 00:58:47.024
All right? Be there.

00:58:47.274 --> 00:58:48.525
Be there, OK?

00:58:48.775 --> 00:58:50.402
(Let me go!)

00:58:58.160 --> 00:59:01.038
That's enough. Sorry about that.

00:59:26.229 --> 00:59:30.192
The next person is the last one.
She's a bit different.

00:59:32.944 --> 00:59:34.780
(Come in.)

00:59:56.426 --> 00:59:58.303
She's Lee Yoon-A.

01:00:03.517 --> 01:00:07.312
She's saying she uses
Korean sign language.

01:00:07.896 --> 01:00:09.189
You understand it?

01:00:09.898 --> 01:00:11.066
Yes.

01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:16.238
(Nobody else chose this scene,
so you'll audition alone.)

01:00:17.781 --> 01:00:19.741
She can hear.

01:00:20.075 --> 01:00:23.578
I'll translate in Korean if necessary.

01:00:23.912 --> 01:00:25.247
Will that be OK?

01:00:26.248 --> 01:00:27.582
Yes.

01:00:28.875 --> 01:00:30.502
(Please begin.)

01:00:46.601 --> 01:00:47.769
Uncle Vanya,

01:00:49.146 --> 01:00:50.856
did you take the morphine?

01:00:51.815 --> 01:00:53.483
Give it back.

01:00:57.320 --> 01:00:59.447
Why do you make us worry?

01:01:00.615 --> 01:01:02.284
Give it back, Uncle Vanya.

01:01:09.791 --> 01:01:13.044
My misfortune could perhaps be
greater than yours,

01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:16.298
but I don't give in to despair.

01:01:18.008 --> 01:01:20.844
Until my life comes to a natural end,

01:01:23.263 --> 01:01:24.973
I'll keep enduring it.

01:01:25.849 --> 01:01:27.350
So,

01:01:29.436 --> 01:01:32.189
you must endure yours, too.

01:01:43.325 --> 01:01:46.244
My dear and only Uncle.

01:01:51.458 --> 01:01:52.584
Please.

01:01:54.502 --> 01:01:55.879
Give it back.

01:02:01.551 --> 01:02:03.720
Have pity on us.

01:02:05.347 --> 01:02:07.098
You must endure

01:02:09.059 --> 01:02:10.685
your sorrow.

01:02:20.695 --> 01:02:21.988
Thank you.

01:02:53.061 --> 01:02:56.898
Not too many auditioned
for the part of Vanya.

01:02:57.524 --> 01:02:58.817
You're right.

01:03:00.026 --> 01:03:05.073
Everyone probably thinks
you'll be playing the role.

01:03:15.542 --> 01:03:18.461
"Vanya"

01:03:35.979 --> 01:03:38.273
Sorry, it's so late.

01:03:38.565 --> 01:03:39.774
No problem.

01:04:37.665 --> 01:04:40.210
Serebryakov, Roy Lucelo.

01:04:40.502 --> 01:04:42.837
Yelena, Janice Chang.

01:04:43.338 --> 01:04:45.548
Sonya, Lee Yoon-A.

01:04:46.007 --> 01:04:48.510
Voynitskaya, Kaoru Komagata.

01:04:49.344 --> 01:04:50.428
Vanya,

01:04:51.054 --> 01:04:52.680
Koshi Takatsuki.

01:04:54.182 --> 01:04:56.684
Astrov, Ryu Jeong-Eui.

01:04:57.352 --> 01:04:59.604
Telegin, Takashi Kimura.

01:05:00.313 --> 01:05:02.565
Marina, Yumi Eto.

01:05:06.653 --> 01:05:10.031
Excuse me.
You want me to play Vanya?

01:05:10.573 --> 01:05:11.741
Yes.

01:05:12.075 --> 01:05:14.035
There's quite an age-gap.

01:05:15.745 --> 01:05:20.708
You can wear make-up. Everyone's
role doesn't match their actual age.

01:05:23.878 --> 01:05:26.214
If you're unwilling, then don't sign.

01:05:26.881 --> 01:05:28.716
The role will go to someone else.

01:05:30.135 --> 01:05:34.305
When you finish signing,
we'll start reading the script.

01:05:53.908 --> 01:05:55.577
(Superb.)

01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:57.745
(How wonderful.)

01:05:58.955 --> 01:06:00.874
(What a stunning view.)

01:06:03.918 --> 01:06:08.590
The view is indeed wonderful,
your Excellency.

01:06:08.965 --> 01:06:12.802
Mr. Kimura, please say it slower.

01:06:13.094 --> 01:06:14.971
- Slower than that?
- Yes.

01:06:15.430 --> 01:06:19.350
And enunciate more clearly
so that everyone can hear.

01:06:20.727 --> 01:06:21.603
OK.

01:06:21.978 --> 01:06:23.313
Continue.

01:06:25.565 --> 01:06:32.197
The view is indeed wonderful,
your Excellency.

01:06:49.631 --> 01:06:53.551
Ladies and gentlemen, tea is ready.

01:06:55.678 --> 01:06:57.972
(If you don't mind...)

01:06:58.473 --> 01:07:00.517
(Hush, someone will hear you.)

01:07:01.684 --> 01:07:06.064
No, let me say that I love you.
Don't drive me away.

01:07:06.189 --> 01:07:08.358
That's all I need to be happy.

01:07:09.192 --> 01:07:11.945
(I can't stand this.)

01:07:19.494 --> 01:07:23.039
Thank you. Let's stop here for today.
Good work.

01:07:40.890 --> 01:07:42.308
Aren't you cold?

01:07:43.893 --> 01:07:45.353
Not at all.

01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:55.446
From now on...

01:07:55.989 --> 01:07:57.073
Yes?

01:07:58.533 --> 01:08:02.036
Could you wait in the car
when I'm running late?

01:08:03.204 --> 01:08:06.541
I feel uncomfortable knowing
you're waiting in the cold.

01:08:08.376 --> 01:08:09.877
No, thank you.

01:08:11.838 --> 01:08:15.258
I know you cherish this car,
so I can't relax.

01:08:17.385 --> 01:08:19.721
If you know that, then it's no problem.

01:08:21.180 --> 01:08:23.474
Just smoke outside.

01:08:25.184 --> 01:08:29.606
Fine, then. Only when
it's really too cold.

01:08:32.442 --> 01:08:34.235
Shall I play the tape?

01:08:35.069 --> 01:08:36.279
Yes.

01:08:40.867 --> 01:08:46.789
<i>But allow me, as an old man,
give one word of advice before parting.</i>

01:08:49.083 --> 01:08:50.585
<i>Everyone,</i>

01:08:51.461 --> 01:08:54.505
<i>the important thing is to work.</i>

01:08:55.798 --> 01:08:58.426
<i>You must keep working.</i>

01:09:45.181 --> 01:09:46.391
Mr. Kafuku.

01:09:49.977 --> 01:09:54.649
Could I invite you out for a drink??
My car is here, too.

01:09:55.650 --> 01:09:57.026
You're driving?

01:09:57.193 --> 01:10:02.115
Yes, so if you don't mind,
how about the bar at my hotel?

01:10:04.158 --> 01:10:05.743
I'll be a bit late.

01:10:06.285 --> 01:10:07.662
No problem.

01:10:07.870 --> 01:10:10.665
I'll bring my car around, then.

01:10:11.332 --> 01:10:13.334
Please follow me.

01:10:30.393 --> 01:10:34.355
<i>I actually sometimes do a search
on your name online.</i>

01:10:36.524 --> 01:10:38.901
That's how I found this audition,

01:10:39.193 --> 01:10:42.989
and that day was the deadline.
Isn't that amazing?

01:10:44.490 --> 01:10:46.242
Why are you interested in me?

01:10:47.076 --> 01:10:50.538
I really liked acting out
Oto's screenplays.

01:10:51.205 --> 01:10:54.125
Saying her lines made me happy.

01:10:55.543 --> 01:11:00.047
My theater projects and Oto's
screenplays are different things.

01:11:00.256 --> 01:11:01.632
Yes.

01:11:02.091 --> 01:11:04.719
But when I saw your play that time,

01:11:04.886 --> 01:11:10.892
I felt that what you two were doing
were the same, albeit in different ways.

01:11:11.225 --> 01:11:12.727
How so?

01:11:15.354 --> 01:11:17.273
Tough question.

01:11:18.566 --> 01:11:21.819
I get the feeling that you both value

01:11:22.069 --> 01:11:25.448
the finer details that
people won't even notice.

01:11:28.743 --> 01:11:31.662
I actually like things like that.

01:11:32.955 --> 01:11:37.126
But I wouldn't have known
if I hadn't acted out Oto's scripts.

01:11:39.378 --> 01:11:44.467
When I saw the casting call,
I knew this was my only chance.

01:11:45.802 --> 01:11:51.182
I'm not sure if you know,
but I'm working freelance now.

01:11:52.767 --> 01:11:56.813
I know. Though in my case
I didn't have to look you up.

01:11:57.396 --> 01:11:58.940
Is that so.

01:11:59.774 --> 01:12:01.859
That's embarrassing.

01:12:02.610 --> 01:12:03.945
How stupid.

01:12:05.071 --> 01:12:06.781
You were a star.

01:12:07.323 --> 01:12:10.117
No, I was framed.

01:12:10.618 --> 01:12:12.787
Do you do things like that often?

01:12:13.621 --> 01:12:14.956
Things like what?

01:12:15.331 --> 01:12:17.625
With women you barely know.

01:12:21.087 --> 01:12:22.505
Don't you?

01:12:23.089 --> 01:12:23.923
No.

01:12:24.465 --> 01:12:27.301
Lots of women must approach you, too.

01:12:27.468 --> 01:12:29.804
All you have to do is say no.

01:12:30.096 --> 01:12:33.474
I don't do it with just anybody, either.

01:12:34.141 --> 01:12:38.646
If you click and want to get to
know her better... Not ever?

01:12:38.980 --> 01:12:42.024
Sex isn't the only way
to get to know someone.

01:12:42.149 --> 01:12:45.319
But some things you can't know
unless you do it.

01:12:45.653 --> 01:12:47.989
- Like what?
- Like...

01:12:52.493 --> 01:12:53.828
What's the matter?

01:12:53.953 --> 01:12:55.329
Just that...

01:12:55.830 --> 01:12:59.000
why am I talking to you about this?

01:13:00.459 --> 01:13:06.173
Oto must have been happy
with a husband like you.

01:13:08.718 --> 01:13:10.219
I wonder.

01:13:12.179 --> 01:13:17.184
If you don't mind, could you tell me
something about her?

01:13:18.185 --> 01:13:19.604
Something about her?

01:13:20.062 --> 01:13:21.898
How you two met,

01:13:22.356 --> 01:13:24.567
how she wrote her screenplays,

01:13:24.859 --> 01:13:27.570
everyday conversations. Anything.

01:13:31.824 --> 01:13:33.701
Here's what you're thinking.

01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:38.247
"He and I share the same pain,
because..."

01:13:39.582 --> 01:13:41.542
"we loved the same woman."

01:13:42.501 --> 01:13:46.589
Oh please. Mine was just
an unrequited longing.

01:13:47.673 --> 01:13:50.051
You were in love with her.

01:13:51.886 --> 01:13:53.387
I don't deny it.

01:13:54.055 --> 01:13:56.891
She was lovely. Very much so.

01:14:01.103 --> 01:14:02.396
Yeah.

01:14:02.730 --> 01:14:07.485
So I'm jealous of you, Mr. Kafuku.

01:14:08.444 --> 01:14:09.946
Forgive me.

01:14:10.613 --> 01:14:13.741
You're jealous...

01:14:14.575 --> 01:14:15.785
of me?

01:14:26.128 --> 01:14:27.463
Excuse me.

01:14:29.090 --> 01:14:31.258
You took a picture, didn't you?

01:14:34.887 --> 01:14:36.055
You took one just now.

01:14:37.056 --> 01:14:38.432
Delete it.

01:14:38.766 --> 01:14:39.934
What's the matter with you?

01:14:43.479 --> 01:14:44.939
I'm leaving now.

01:14:46.774 --> 01:14:47.775
Yes.

01:14:48.484 --> 01:14:51.278
- The check, please.
- Yes, sir.

01:15:09.755 --> 01:15:11.298
I'm sorry.

01:15:11.966 --> 01:15:13.801
I invited you today.

01:15:14.260 --> 01:15:15.469
It's OK.

01:15:17.013 --> 01:15:22.393
I'm glad to be here now, to be able
to perform under your direction.

01:15:23.019 --> 01:15:26.230
I believe Oto brought us together.

01:15:28.024 --> 01:15:31.569
I look forward to working with you
again from tomorrow.

01:15:34.196 --> 01:15:37.033
Yeah. See you tomorrow.

01:15:58.387 --> 01:16:01.766
<i>What's the matter? You look so glum.</i>

01:16:02.683 --> 01:16:06.187
<i>Is it because you feel sorry
for that professor?</i>

01:16:07.521 --> 01:16:09.565
Leave me alone.

01:16:10.900 --> 01:16:14.987
(Or because you're in love
with his wife?)

01:16:16.072 --> 01:16:19.200
She's a good friend of mine.

01:16:21.035 --> 01:16:22.703
(Already?)

01:16:23.412 --> 01:16:26.290
What do you mean by "already"?

01:16:28.209 --> 01:16:30.127
Still too much emotion?

01:16:30.711 --> 01:16:34.465
Ryu is doing it right. Emulate him.
Continue.

01:16:38.928 --> 01:16:42.973
(There's a proper order for a woman
to become a man's friend.)

01:16:43.849 --> 01:16:46.268
(First, she's an acquaintance,)

01:16:46.685 --> 01:16:51.565
(then she's a lover, and finally,
she becomes a good friend.)

01:16:52.733 --> 01:16:54.819
What a banal philosophy.

01:16:55.027 --> 01:16:56.320
Takatsuki.

01:16:58.197 --> 01:17:02.660
Try focusing on your text.
All you have to do is read it.

01:17:30.980 --> 01:17:32.815
From where we left off, then.

01:17:51.458 --> 01:17:55.004
I didn't get him? I missed again?

01:17:55.171 --> 01:17:56.422
Damn it.

01:17:56.797 --> 01:17:59.341
God damn it.

01:18:01.010 --> 01:18:05.222
(Get me out of here.
Kill me if you must.)

01:18:05.431 --> 01:18:07.766
(I can't stay here anymore.)

01:18:08.809 --> 01:18:13.480
What's wrong with me?
What am I doing?

01:18:25.701 --> 01:18:28.579
Good work, everyone.

01:18:34.001 --> 01:18:35.336
Mr. Kafuku.

01:18:36.128 --> 01:18:40.424
Could we do a little interview
for the festival website?

01:18:41.884 --> 01:18:44.678
We need a video, so somewhere outside.

01:19:03.030 --> 01:19:06.283
All we do is read the text.

01:19:07.368 --> 01:19:09.578
When will we start moving?

01:19:09.912 --> 01:19:13.457
Honestly, the foreign language parts
lull me to sleep.

01:19:13.666 --> 01:19:16.210
- Me too!
- Me too.

01:19:16.669 --> 01:19:21.257
- Though not in a bad way.
- Yeah, it's like hearing a sutra.

01:19:21.548 --> 01:19:25.302
Sounds like a blessing
when you put it that way.

01:19:31.892 --> 01:19:35.062
Yoon-su, where did you learn Japanese?

01:19:35.688 --> 01:19:40.401
I studied Noh in graduate school
at Waseda University for 2 years.

01:19:42.444 --> 01:19:47.866
Korean, English, Japanese,
and sign language. That's awesome.

01:19:48.784 --> 01:19:54.623
Japanese and Korean have similar grammar
So learning the vocabulary is enough.

01:19:54.915 --> 01:19:57.459
I've liked English from a young age.

01:19:58.127 --> 01:19:59.962
When did you learn sign language?

01:20:03.299 --> 01:20:08.095
Mr. Kafuku, you kindly offered
to take me home.

01:20:09.096 --> 01:20:12.182
May I invite you over for dinner today?

01:20:12.975 --> 01:20:15.269
No, I don't want to intrude.

01:20:16.937 --> 01:20:20.607
There's something I have to
apologize to you about.

01:20:21.275 --> 01:20:24.111
- What is it?
- You'll know when we get there.

01:20:49.636 --> 01:20:52.181
Both of you, please come inside.

01:21:02.483 --> 01:21:07.905
Let's go. He probably doesn't feel
comfortable making you wait hungry.

01:21:09.114 --> 01:21:11.867
There's no need to worry about that.

01:21:12.117 --> 01:21:15.537
I wouldn't worry. But I'm sure he will.

01:21:16.163 --> 01:21:17.581
Let's go.

01:21:37.726 --> 01:21:39.186
My wife.

01:22:29.236 --> 01:22:31.155
She says it looks like me.

01:22:32.364 --> 01:22:33.657
That's mean.

01:22:36.577 --> 01:22:40.998
These potatoes are from
the back yard. She grew them.

01:22:44.918 --> 01:22:49.465
This is what I wanted
to apologize to you about.

01:22:51.049 --> 01:22:52.843
Why didn't you tell me?

01:22:53.218 --> 01:22:58.432
She worried you might find it hard to
reject her if you knew she was my wife.

01:22:59.057 --> 01:22:59.933
No, I...

01:23:00.058 --> 01:23:02.144
You wouldn't mind, I can tell.

01:23:02.394 --> 01:23:05.814
But silence is golden.

01:23:08.734 --> 01:23:13.614
To answer your question, I learned
sign language after meeting her.

01:23:14.448 --> 01:23:17.493
I wanted to know her language
so I learned it.

01:23:18.911 --> 01:23:20.621
That's really something.

01:23:21.288 --> 01:23:23.332
She's originally a dancer,

01:23:23.499 --> 01:23:29.713
and I was the coordinator when her
dance company performed in Busan.

01:23:31.131 --> 01:23:32.716
Love at first sight.

01:23:34.843 --> 01:23:36.345
Don't tell her.

01:23:39.640 --> 01:23:41.391
Why Hiroshima?

01:23:43.477 --> 01:23:46.647
I was invited to the theater festival
3 years ago.

01:23:48.524 --> 01:23:50.651
And Yoon-A came with you?

01:23:50.817 --> 01:23:56.823
Yes. When I got the offer, I debated
whether or not she should come along.

01:23:57.157 --> 01:24:00.994
In Korea, she has family and friends
who know sign language.

01:24:03.121 --> 01:24:05.832
I thought she would be lonely here.

01:24:06.124 --> 01:24:11.046
But I figured I could listen to her
like a hundred people.

01:24:11.505 --> 01:24:15.717
I felt that I'm the only one
who could support her.

01:24:31.441 --> 01:24:34.319
Why did you decide to audition?

01:24:59.511 --> 01:25:02.598
"I got pregnant and
took time off from dancing,"

01:25:03.056 --> 01:25:06.226
"but had a miscarriage."

01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:31.168
"Although I wanted to work again,
my body refused to dance."

01:25:31.460 --> 01:25:36.673
"That was when my husband told me
about you and suggested I try it."

01:25:38.091 --> 01:25:39.926
Thank you.

01:25:40.761 --> 01:25:43.096
Is there anything hard
about rehearsals??

01:25:59.655 --> 01:26:03.617
"Why do you ask me something
you don't ask others?"

01:26:03.992 --> 01:26:07.996
"You don't have to be nicer to me
than you are to other people."

01:26:15.295 --> 01:26:19.841
"People not understanding my words
is normal for me."

01:26:40.946 --> 01:26:44.408
"But I can see and hear."

01:26:44.700 --> 01:26:48.203
"Sometimes I can understand
a lot more than words."

01:26:48.537 --> 01:26:52.332
"That's what's important
in our rehearsals, right?"

01:26:54.042 --> 01:26:55.502
Yes.

01:27:18.859 --> 01:27:23.530
"So right now, every day
is so much fun."

01:27:23.905 --> 01:27:27.409
"Chekhov's text comes inside me and"

01:27:27.701 --> 01:27:30.370
"moves my body that was stuck before."

01:27:36.543 --> 01:27:39.880
"I'm glad I got my courage up."

01:27:41.882 --> 01:27:43.425
Glad to hear that.

01:27:49.598 --> 01:27:51.391
Do you like spicy food?

01:27:51.892 --> 01:27:54.060
Yes. It's good.

01:28:06.531 --> 01:28:08.825
How's her driving?

01:28:13.789 --> 01:28:15.957
It's fabulous.

01:28:18.668 --> 01:28:22.839
She speeds up and slows down
so smoothly, I hardly feel gravity.

01:28:24.090 --> 01:28:26.426
Sometimes I forget I'm in a car.

01:28:28.970 --> 01:28:34.267
I've experienced many people's driving,
but it's never been so pleasant.

01:28:38.271 --> 01:28:42.692
I'm glad she was assigned
as my driver is how I feel now.

01:29:24.651 --> 01:29:29.322
"Compliment us actors as much
for once," she says.

01:29:35.328 --> 01:29:37.998
This means, "to compliment"?

01:29:38.164 --> 01:29:39.374
Yes.

01:30:21.416 --> 01:30:25.045
Thank you for inviting me.

01:30:26.588 --> 01:30:28.924
It was Yoon-su who invited us.

01:30:30.258 --> 01:30:32.218
They were a lovely couple.

01:30:35.096 --> 01:30:37.307
Now I'm curious about your rehearsals.

01:30:37.557 --> 01:30:39.225
Yoon-A's Sonya.

01:30:43.063 --> 01:30:47.567
I've been hearing your tape,
so I kept thinking, "She's Sonya."

01:30:49.903 --> 01:30:51.488
You're welcome to watch.

01:30:52.197 --> 01:30:55.575
No, thank you. I'm sorry.

01:30:55.742 --> 01:30:58.286
- Come watch us...
- Shall I play the tape?

01:30:59.204 --> 01:31:00.455
Yeah.

01:31:05.543 --> 01:31:10.256
<i>Vanya, you're educated and intelligent,</i>

01:31:10.757 --> 01:31:13.426
<i>so you must surely understand</i>

01:31:14.427 --> 01:31:18.181
<i>that the world isn't destroyed
by villains...</i>

01:31:18.431 --> 01:31:20.934
Don't you get sick of hearing this?

01:31:21.935 --> 01:31:23.353
No.

01:31:24.104 --> 01:31:26.272
I like this voice is why.

01:31:28.108 --> 01:31:29.484
I see.

01:31:30.986 --> 01:31:32.529
Whose voice is it?

01:31:36.950 --> 01:31:38.451
My wife.

01:31:39.244 --> 01:31:40.453
Oh.

01:31:42.956 --> 01:31:48.461
The flow of the entire play has to be
memorized with my method.

01:31:48.795 --> 01:31:50.630
So I listen to it over and over.

01:31:51.464 --> 01:31:56.636
I acted in <i>Uncle Vanya</i> before,
so Vanya's parts are left out.

01:31:57.345 --> 01:32:00.890
When I say my line at my pace,
the next line starts precisely.

01:32:01.766 --> 01:32:03.059
Wow.

01:32:04.811 --> 01:32:06.730
What I said before is true.

01:32:08.481 --> 01:32:13.028
I forget that I'm in the car
and forget that you're here.

01:32:13.945 --> 01:32:15.363
Annoying, isn't it?

01:32:15.822 --> 01:32:18.533
No, it's your job.

01:32:22.203 --> 01:32:24.497
Where did you learn to drive?

01:32:27.542 --> 01:32:29.044
My hometown.

01:32:30.170 --> 01:32:33.006
Kami-junitaki Village in Hokkaido,

01:32:33.173 --> 01:32:35.633
where you need a car to do anything.

01:32:36.301 --> 01:32:37.594
Oh.

01:32:38.678 --> 01:32:40.847
My mother taught me to drive,

01:32:41.347 --> 01:32:43.516
and I've done it since junior high.

01:32:45.018 --> 01:32:46.394
Junior high?

01:32:46.644 --> 01:32:47.687
Yes.

01:32:48.146 --> 01:32:51.608
My mother worked
at a nightclub in Sapporo.

01:32:53.068 --> 01:32:56.237
She took a train there,
SO ever since junior high

01:32:56.696 --> 01:32:59.616
I drove her to and from
our local station.

01:33:03.703 --> 01:33:06.206
The station was an hour away.

01:33:07.332 --> 01:33:11.711
We left the house at 5 p.m.
and I picked her up at 7 a.m.

01:33:13.755 --> 01:33:15.590
During those two hours,

01:33:16.549 --> 01:33:18.968
my mother wanted to sleep.

01:33:20.762 --> 01:33:24.390
If I woke her with my driving,
she'd Kick me in the back

01:33:25.058 --> 01:33:27.060
and hit me when we arrived.

01:33:27.894 --> 01:33:28.937
That's how

01:33:30.522 --> 01:33:34.234
I learned to drive over bad roads
without waking her.

01:33:38.113 --> 01:33:39.572
I see.

01:33:43.701 --> 01:33:47.580
What you said made me very happy.

01:33:48.581 --> 01:33:49.916
No...

01:33:51.251 --> 01:33:55.797
I'm grateful to my mother
for teaching me how to drive.

01:33:57.423 --> 01:34:02.595
It was for her own sake, but
the way she taught me was thorough.

01:34:04.722 --> 01:34:05.974
I see.

01:34:06.558 --> 01:34:07.809
Yes.

01:34:09.561 --> 01:34:12.105
No doubt it must have been so.

01:35:28.556 --> 01:35:32.518
<i>Will you tell me the whole truth
afterwards?</i>

01:35:36.856 --> 01:35:39.234
<i>Yes, of course.</i>

01:35:40.235 --> 01:35:42.362
<i>I'm sure that</i>

01:35:43.029 --> 01:35:45.073
<i>the truth,</i>

01:35:45.365 --> 01:35:49.285
<i>no matter what it ss,
isn't that frightening.</i>

01:35:50.870 --> 01:35:53.206
<i>What is most frightening</i>

01:35:53.873 --> 01:35:56.376
<i>is not knowing it.</i>

01:36:04.425 --> 01:36:06.719
<i>Oh, to flirt with a man like him</i>

01:36:07.220 --> 01:36:09.973
<i>and to lose oneself in his arms.</i>

01:36:12.225 --> 01:36:13.726
<i>I guess...</i>

01:36:14.185 --> 01:36:16.604
<i>I'm a bit in love with him too.</i>

01:36:18.564 --> 01:36:23.403
<i>Yes, I miss him when he doesn't come...</i>

01:36:24.946 --> 01:36:27.073
(My conscience tortures me)

01:36:27.865 --> 01:36:30.743
(as if I'd killed that man.)

01:36:32.620 --> 01:36:34.289
(I sit down, and...)

01:36:37.125 --> 01:36:41.212
(close my eyes like this,
and think...)

01:36:44.841 --> 01:36:50.013
(Will the people living 200 or
300 years from now,)

01:36:50.138 --> 01:36:54.350
(the ones we're currently
clearing the way for,)

01:36:54.475 --> 01:36:57.854
(will they remember us and be grateful?)

01:37:01.524 --> 01:37:03.234
(They'll all completely forget.)

01:37:04.777 --> 01:37:07.280
People might forget,

01:37:07.613 --> 01:37:13.161
but God will surely commend you.

01:37:16.581 --> 01:37:18.708
(Thanks. That's good to know.)

01:37:22.962 --> 01:37:24.630
Sorry we're late.

01:37:25.465 --> 01:37:28.718
Either Vanya or Yelena
is in most scenes.

01:37:29.510 --> 01:37:33.639
We kept repeating the same ones
and started the walk-through.

01:37:34.640 --> 01:37:35.725
I'm very sorry.

01:37:36.601 --> 01:37:39.520
It was for the best, actually.

01:37:40.104 --> 01:37:42.565
Why don't you two move a bit as well?

01:37:52.533 --> 01:37:57.538
My life is lost,
there's no turning back.

01:37:58.998 --> 01:38:04.170
That thought haunts me
like an evil spirit day and night.

01:38:05.338 --> 01:38:09.342
My past went by without event.
It's unimportant.

01:38:09.550 --> 01:38:12.929
But the present is worse.

01:38:13.679 --> 01:38:18.059
What should I do about
my life and my love?

01:38:19.060 --> 01:38:21.270
What happened?

01:38:26.275 --> 01:38:29.404
(You say such things,
but I don't know...)

01:38:30.571 --> 01:38:32.198
(what to do.)

01:38:33.950 --> 01:38:35.618
(I'm sorry is all I can say.)

01:38:36.452 --> 01:38:39.414
(Forgive me. Good night.)

01:38:40.206 --> 01:38:41.374
Please understand...

01:40:16.594 --> 01:40:18.346
(Who's there?)

01:40:18.888 --> 01:40:20.556
(Is it you, Sonya?)

01:40:21.849 --> 01:40:23.392
(It's me.)

01:40:39.325 --> 01:40:40.910
Mr. Kafuku.

01:40:45.331 --> 01:40:48.668
I'm very sorry about today.

01:40:49.502 --> 01:40:50.711
Never mind.

01:40:51.671 --> 01:40:55.758
I was just lending her an ear.

01:40:56.342 --> 01:41:00.429
You say that, but you can't speak
English or Mandarin.

01:41:00.805 --> 01:41:03.015
She doesn't speak Japanese.

01:41:03.558 --> 01:41:04.892
Right.

01:41:06.143 --> 01:41:08.854
So we ended up...

01:41:11.023 --> 01:41:12.692
Use good judgment.

01:41:14.735 --> 01:41:16.404
I'm sorry.

01:41:20.032 --> 01:41:21.701
That's all I have to say.

01:41:49.228 --> 01:41:51.814
Could you keep driving somewhere?

01:41:53.566 --> 01:41:55.067
Somewhere?

01:41:56.861 --> 01:41:58.904
I still haven't seen much of Hiroshima.

01:41:59.572 --> 01:42:01.741
Some place you like is fine.

01:42:06.120 --> 01:42:07.496
All right,

01:42:56.128 --> 01:42:59.382
Isn't it kind of like snow?

01:43:32.832 --> 01:43:36.252
Straight down that way
is the Peace Memorial Park.

01:43:38.129 --> 01:43:43.384
The line between the A-Bomb Dome and the
Cenotaph is called the "axis of peace."

01:43:45.720 --> 01:43:50.015
The architect who designed
this facility created this atrium

01:43:50.850 --> 01:43:55.855
so that the line would continue on
to the sea without being severed.

01:44:01.152 --> 01:44:03.070
Why did you come to Hiroshima?

01:44:05.865 --> 01:44:08.451
Wait, never mind.

01:44:13.164 --> 01:44:15.374
Behind our house was a hill.

01:44:17.668 --> 01:44:18.919
5 years ago,

01:44:19.879 --> 01:44:24.425
a landslide occurred and our house
was destroyed by the debris.

01:44:26.010 --> 01:44:28.554
My mother died in that accident.

01:44:33.017 --> 01:44:36.228
I'd turned 18 years old
right before then,

01:44:36.687 --> 01:44:39.899
and had just officially obtained
my driver's license.

01:44:43.194 --> 01:44:47.740
The car was intact, so I left home
in it after her funeral.

01:44:49.617 --> 01:44:52.620
So you're 23 years old now.

01:44:53.245 --> 01:44:54.580
Yes.

01:45:01.796 --> 01:45:06.509
I had nowhere to go,
so I just kept heading out west.

01:45:08.260 --> 01:45:12.973
But my car broke down in Hiroshima,
and I had no money to fix it.

01:45:15.226 --> 01:45:19.271
So I began driving those garbage trucks.

01:45:20.815 --> 01:45:23.192
Driving is the only thing I can do.

01:45:30.658 --> 01:45:32.660
Do you plan on staying here?

01:45:33.744 --> 01:45:35.329
I don't know.

01:45:37.623 --> 01:45:40.459
My last name, Watari, is from my father,

01:45:42.336 --> 01:45:44.880
and it's common in Shimane
and Hiroshima.

01:45:46.423 --> 01:45:50.970
Though I've never met him
and don't even know if he's alive.

01:45:52.471 --> 01:45:54.056
I see.

01:46:35.347 --> 01:46:37.391
Your last name, Kafuku,

01:46:38.350 --> 01:46:42.021
is uncommon, isn't it?
Written, "house" and "good luck."

01:46:43.022 --> 01:46:44.231
It's auspicious.

01:46:48.527 --> 01:46:51.030
My wife said the same thing
before we married.

01:46:51.655 --> 01:46:53.073
Oh.

01:46:53.741 --> 01:46:56.035
My wife's name is Oto.

01:46:56.410 --> 01:46:57.453
Oto.

01:46:57.661 --> 01:46:59.371
Oto, as in "sound."

01:47:00.247 --> 01:47:03.792
Oto Kafuku. What a name.

01:47:05.920 --> 01:47:08.797
The primary reason why
she hesitated marrying me.

01:47:09.715 --> 01:47:11.884
Her name would be "House of the Gospel."

01:47:17.598 --> 01:47:19.433
She died 2 years ago.

01:47:23.687 --> 01:47:25.564
Cerebral hemorrhage.

01:47:28.442 --> 01:47:31.070
She was on the floor when I got home,

01:47:31.946 --> 01:47:34.073
and never regained consciousness.

01:47:41.038 --> 01:47:43.248
Does that tape creep you out now?

01:47:45.250 --> 01:47:47.586
No, not at all.

01:47:48.712 --> 01:47:50.464
In fact, it's...

01:47:57.221 --> 01:47:59.098
Sorry!

01:48:03.978 --> 01:48:05.771
Thank you!

01:48:11.276 --> 01:48:13.570
I like that car.

01:48:14.905 --> 01:48:17.449
I can tell it's been treated with care,

01:48:19.076 --> 01:48:21.620
so I also want to drive it with care.

01:48:27.751 --> 01:48:29.044
Let's go.

01:48:50.983 --> 01:48:53.986
There must be something.
I can't take this.

01:48:54.319 --> 01:48:56.155
I'm 47 years old.

01:48:56.488 --> 01:49:00.325
If I live to be 60, that's
13 years I have before me.

01:49:01.493 --> 01:49:02.661
That's so long.

01:49:03.037 --> 01:49:06.874
How am I supposed to live out
those 13 years?

01:49:20.554 --> 01:49:22.097
Such nice weather.

01:49:24.308 --> 01:49:25.601
Yes.

01:49:42.034 --> 01:49:43.285
Let's do it over there.

01:50:28.872 --> 01:50:30.707
(Why are you crying?)

01:50:31.750 --> 01:50:35.087
<i>I don't know. It's nothing.
I just started tearing up.</i>

01:50:37.256 --> 01:50:41.260
(Never mind. Silly,
now I'm crying too.)

01:50:42.886 --> 01:50:44.680
(You're angry with me because)

01:50:45.514 --> 01:50:48.725
(you think I married your father
for selfish reasons.)

01:50:50.144 --> 01:50:51.895
(I don't know if you'll believe me,)

01:50:52.187 --> 01:50:54.022
(but I swear to you,)

01:50:54.106 --> 01:50:56.108
(I married him for love.)

01:50:57.609 --> 01:50:59.862
(I was infatuated with
the famous professor.)

01:51:01.655 --> 01:51:05.576
(I know now that the love
was fake and not real,)

01:51:06.368 --> 01:51:08.036
(but it seemed real at the time.)

01:51:09.413 --> 01:51:11.748
(I couldn't help it.)

01:51:12.916 --> 01:51:15.502
(But you've glared at me disapprovingly)

01:51:16.044 --> 01:51:20.007
(with those clever, suspicious eyes
ever since our marriage.)

01:51:21.049 --> 01:51:24.011
<i>Stop, stop. We made up.</i>

01:51:24.178 --> 01:51:25.888
<i>Lets forget the past.</i>

01:51:26.054 --> 01:51:28.015
(Don't look at others like that.)

01:51:28.265 --> 01:51:29.975
(It doesn't suit you.)

01:51:30.100 --> 01:51:34.188
(You should trust people,
or else life becomes impossible.)

01:51:37.107 --> 01:51:38.233
<i>Hey.</i>

01:51:39.651 --> 01:51:41.570
<i>Tell me honestly.</i>

01:51:41.695 --> 01:51:44.114
<i>Are you happy?</i>

01:51:52.748 --> 01:51:54.082
(No.)

01:52:19.524 --> 01:52:21.944
(I wish you happiness)

01:52:22.903 --> 01:52:24.947
(from the bottom of my heart.)

01:52:25.739 --> 01:52:30.285
(As for me, I'm unimportant,
like an accessory.)

01:52:32.329 --> 01:52:36.333
(In music, in my husband's house,
in romance...)

01:52:36.875 --> 01:52:39.378
(No matter where I am,)

01:52:40.295 --> 01:52:41.964
(I'm just an accessory.)

01:52:43.340 --> 01:52:45.133
(To be honest,)

01:52:45.259 --> 01:52:46.885
(Sonya...)

01:52:47.928 --> 01:52:52.641
(Come to think of it, I'm very unhappy.)

01:52:54.226 --> 01:52:57.688
(Happiness for me
doesn't exist in this world.)

01:53:01.275 --> 01:53:03.026
(Why are you laughing?)

01:53:03.777 --> 01:53:05.654
I'm happy.

01:53:06.154 --> 01:53:09.074
I'm just so happy.

01:53:11.285 --> 01:53:14.079
(I want to play the piano now.)

01:53:24.256 --> 01:53:25.632
Do play.

01:53:25.757 --> 01:53:27.426
I'd love to hear you.

01:53:46.278 --> 01:53:48.280
Something happened just now.

01:53:48.613 --> 01:53:51.325
But it's still just between actors.

01:53:51.491 --> 01:53:53.118
There's the next step.

01:53:53.577 --> 01:53:55.537
We open it up to the audience.

01:53:56.288 --> 01:53:59.458
We recreate that moment
onstage in its entirety.

01:54:04.588 --> 01:54:06.048
Let's do Act 3, too.

01:54:06.465 --> 01:54:07.716
Takatsuki.

01:54:08.842 --> 01:54:10.135
Yes.

01:54:41.666 --> 01:54:42.876
It's freezing.

01:54:43.001 --> 01:54:44.169
Yes.

01:54:49.549 --> 01:54:52.386
Thank you for today.

01:54:53.261 --> 01:54:54.429
About what?

01:54:55.514 --> 01:54:56.556
Nothing.

01:55:02.813 --> 01:55:04.606
Could we talk?

01:55:06.691 --> 01:55:10.237
If you don't mind, somewhere nearby.
Just for a bit.

01:55:11.822 --> 01:55:13.365
Where's your car?

01:55:13.990 --> 01:55:15.534
It's being repaired.

01:55:49.901 --> 01:55:51.319
About today...

01:55:52.571 --> 01:55:54.573
what happened?

01:55:55.407 --> 01:55:58.994
Between Janice and Yoon-A.

01:56:01.079 --> 01:56:03.081
Only they know the answer to that.

01:56:04.249 --> 01:56:09.588
One thing I can say is that this text
has the power to make that happen.

01:56:10.589 --> 01:56:15.427
Mr. Kafuku, why aren't you
playing Vanya yourself?

01:56:19.473 --> 01:56:21.475
Chekhov is terrifying.

01:56:24.603 --> 01:56:29.107
When you say his lines,
it drags out the real you.

01:56:30.275 --> 01:56:31.693
Don't you feel it?

01:56:33.737 --> 01:56:36.781
I can't bear that anymore.

01:56:38.116 --> 01:56:43.205
Which means I can no longer
yield myself up to this role.

01:56:44.581 --> 01:56:47.834
But then, why me?

01:56:49.127 --> 01:56:52.714
I feel out of place in this production.

01:56:53.924 --> 01:56:55.884
I'm not suited for this role.

01:56:56.801 --> 01:57:00.972
I'm sure the audience
will feel the same way.

01:57:03.475 --> 01:57:07.854
When I auditioned, I was desperate
and in shambles.

01:57:08.522 --> 01:57:11.066
I didn't know what I was doing.

01:57:11.816 --> 01:57:16.154
So why did you choose me?

01:57:21.159 --> 01:57:22.994
Oto brought us together.

01:57:23.453 --> 01:57:27.332
Please don't be glib. I'm serious.

01:57:27.499 --> 01:57:30.835
I came here to change myself.

01:57:40.345 --> 01:57:43.348
You can't control yourself very well.

01:57:48.186 --> 01:57:49.479
Right.

01:57:50.855 --> 01:57:52.899
From a social standpoint,
that's not good.

01:57:53.400 --> 01:57:56.570
But it's not necessarily
a drawback for an actor.

01:57:57.862 --> 01:58:01.700
During your audition and our sessions,
you weren't bad.

01:58:02.993 --> 01:58:05.745
You can yield yourself
to your cast mate.

01:58:07.747 --> 01:58:10.208
Do the same to the text.

01:58:11.376 --> 01:58:15.422
Yield yourself and
respond to the text.

01:58:16.256 --> 01:58:17.799
Respond to it?

01:58:19.759 --> 01:58:21.928
The text is questioning you.

01:58:22.387 --> 01:58:25.932
If you listen to it and respond,
the same will happen to you.

01:58:34.941 --> 01:58:38.069
Go on ahead.
I'll take you to your hotel.

01:58:38.528 --> 01:58:39.738
Check, please.

01:58:40.864 --> 01:58:42.324
Thank you.

01:58:55.211 --> 01:58:57.756
Mr. Kafuku offered
to take me to my hotel.

01:58:58.256 --> 01:59:00.508
OK, the same as before?

01:59:04.638 --> 01:59:06.473
I'll go pay for parking.

01:59:28.286 --> 01:59:29.621
Where's Takatsuki?

01:59:37.754 --> 01:59:40.548
Sorry, let's go.

02:00:11.996 --> 02:00:13.331
Mr. Kafuku.

02:00:16.000 --> 02:00:19.838
I'm empty.

02:00:21.673 --> 02:00:23.591
There's nothing inside me.

02:00:27.554 --> 02:00:29.681
About the text questioning me...

02:00:30.640 --> 02:00:35.854
I think I felt that
with Oto's screenplays.

02:00:38.064 --> 02:00:42.569
I came here because
I wanted to feel it again.

02:00:44.237 --> 02:00:45.572
So...

02:00:48.032 --> 02:00:51.119
that bit about Oto bringing us together

02:00:52.871 --> 02:00:54.581
is true after all.

02:00:57.876 --> 02:00:59.586
I finally understand.

02:01:04.215 --> 02:01:06.092
Oto and I...

02:01:06.551 --> 02:01:07.761
Yes.

02:01:09.095 --> 02:01:10.722
We had a daughter.

02:01:12.390 --> 02:01:14.893
She died from pneumonia
when she was four.

02:01:15.894 --> 02:01:18.104
She'd be 23 if she were alive.

02:01:25.278 --> 02:01:29.407
Our daughter's death marked
the end of our happy times.

02:01:31.034 --> 02:01:32.786
Oto quit acting.

02:01:33.578 --> 02:01:36.664
I quit working in TV
and returned to theater.

02:01:38.416 --> 02:01:41.753
Oto was lethargic for years.

02:01:42.462 --> 02:01:46.674
But then she suddenly began
writing stories one day.

02:01:48.384 --> 02:01:51.429
No, she began telling them.

02:01:53.264 --> 02:01:55.475
Her first story...

02:01:59.813 --> 02:02:01.981
was born after having sex with me.

02:02:05.652 --> 02:02:09.614
She suddenly started narrating it
after having sex.

02:02:10.573 --> 02:02:13.952
But the next morning,
her memory was foggy.

02:02:15.495 --> 02:02:18.122
I remembered it all, so I told her.

02:02:19.624 --> 02:02:22.627
She wrote a script based on it
and sent it to a contest.

02:02:24.170 --> 02:02:28.967
It won an award and launched
her career as a screenwriter.

02:02:31.469 --> 02:02:34.514
"That" would strike her
at times after sex.

02:02:36.015 --> 02:02:39.227
She'd tell it to me and
make me remember it.

02:02:39.853 --> 02:02:44.649
The next morning, I'd tell her.
She'd take notes.

02:02:45.984 --> 02:02:48.152
Eventually that became our custom.

02:02:49.988 --> 02:02:53.533
Sex and her stories
were strongly connected.

02:02:54.158 --> 02:02:56.202
Even if it didn't seem like it.

02:02:57.537 --> 02:03:01.875
She'd grasp a thread of a story
from the edge of orgasm and spin it.

02:03:02.500 --> 02:03:04.669
That's how she used to write.

02:03:05.461 --> 02:03:07.005
Not all the time.

02:03:07.171 --> 02:03:12.176
But whenever her career hit a wall,
"that" would strike.

02:03:14.345 --> 02:03:15.722
Those stories...

02:03:17.223 --> 02:03:21.019
became a bond that helped us
overcome our child's death.

02:03:26.024 --> 02:03:28.693
I think we were a compatible couple.

02:03:29.861 --> 02:03:32.697
We needed each other
to get through life.

02:03:33.865 --> 02:03:37.410
Everyday living and our sex life

02:03:38.536 --> 02:03:40.413
were very fulfilling.

02:03:41.372 --> 02:03:43.541
At least they were for me.

02:03:45.543 --> 02:03:47.045
But...

02:03:51.215 --> 02:03:53.301
Oto saw other men.

02:03:58.556 --> 02:04:00.475
She's fine, don't worry.

02:04:04.062 --> 02:04:06.230
Oto slept with other men.

02:04:08.358 --> 02:04:10.068
Not just one.

02:04:10.401 --> 02:04:14.405
Probably with the actors who were
cast in the dramas she wrote.

02:04:15.573 --> 02:04:18.409
Each relationship ended with the drama,

02:04:18.743 --> 02:04:22.121
and another would begin
when another drama started.

02:04:24.707 --> 02:04:26.584
Do you have evidence?

02:04:27.460 --> 02:04:29.087
I've witnessed them before.

02:04:31.923 --> 02:04:34.968
She sometimes brought them
into our home.

02:04:40.974 --> 02:04:44.477
Even so, I've never doubted
her love for me.

02:04:45.728 --> 02:04:47.522
There was no doubt.

02:04:49.315 --> 02:04:52.819
Oto betrayed me so naturally
while she loved me.

02:04:54.278 --> 02:04:57.448
We were definitely deeply bonded,
more so than anyone.

02:04:57.573 --> 02:04:59.784
Still, she contained within her

02:05:00.410 --> 02:05:04.497
a spot that I couldn't look into,
where something dark swirled.

02:05:06.457 --> 02:05:11.337
Didn't you ever ask her
about any of this?

02:05:13.464 --> 02:05:17.301
What I feared most was losing her.

02:05:18.344 --> 02:05:23.516
If she found out I knew, we wouldn't
have been able to maintain our balance.

02:05:26.310 --> 02:05:29.981
Isn't it possible that she wanted
you to hear her out?

02:05:34.819 --> 02:05:38.990
Did Oto tell you something?

02:05:44.287 --> 02:05:47.665
May I tell you a story she told me?

02:05:49.667 --> 02:05:50.960
Yes.

02:05:51.669 --> 02:05:53.838
It's a very mysterious tale.

02:05:54.422 --> 02:05:59.260
A high school girl sneaks into
the home of a boy she likes.

02:06:01.846 --> 02:06:05.850
I've heard that one, too.

02:06:06.517 --> 02:06:09.187
The girl who was formerly a lamprey.

02:06:09.353 --> 02:06:10.730
Right.

02:06:11.397 --> 02:06:16.527
She sneaks in multiple times and
leaves a token of herself each time.

02:06:17.403 --> 02:06:21.574
One day, she starts masturbating
on Yamaga's bed.

02:06:22.158 --> 02:06:27.205
Someone comes home, but the story
ends without telling who it was.

02:06:27.538 --> 02:06:29.040
No.

02:06:32.168 --> 02:06:33.961
It doesn't end there.

02:06:37.215 --> 02:06:39.550
You know what happens next?

02:06:40.676 --> 02:06:42.136
Yes.

02:06:43.012 --> 02:06:44.764
Who was it, then?

02:06:46.390 --> 02:06:48.392
Who came up the stairs?

02:06:49.894 --> 02:06:52.063
Another intruder.

02:06:52.563 --> 02:06:54.148
Another one?

02:06:54.565 --> 02:06:56.067
Yes.

02:06:56.400 --> 02:07:00.154
It wasn't Yamaga, or his father,
or his mother.

02:07:00.738 --> 02:07:02.573
Just a burglar.

02:07:03.574 --> 02:07:07.954
The burglar finds her half naked
in the room

02:07:08.287 --> 02:07:09.914
and attempts to rape her.

02:07:11.582 --> 02:07:15.586
She takes a pen lying around
and stabs the man in the left eye.

02:07:16.712 --> 02:07:18.965
She struggles desperately,

02:07:19.382 --> 02:07:24.303
and stabs the pen in his temple,
in his neck, over and over.

02:07:25.638 --> 02:07:28.307
She notices the man has gone limp.

02:07:29.433 --> 02:07:31.936
She has killed the burglar.

02:07:34.313 --> 02:07:39.527
She washes the blood off
in the shower and goes home.

02:07:41.904 --> 02:07:45.616
The token she left
in Yamaga's room that day

02:07:46.450 --> 02:07:48.619
was the burglar's corpse.

02:07:50.580 --> 02:07:55.042
The next morning, she goes to school
prepared to confess

02:07:55.459 --> 02:07:59.130
everything to Yamaga
and face his judgment.

02:07:59.839 --> 02:08:04.969
But Yamaga looks the same as usual
at school that day.

02:08:07.013 --> 02:08:13.144
She sees him play soccer after school
seemingly carefree as always.

02:08:14.353 --> 02:08:16.898
Things are the same the next day.

02:08:18.858 --> 02:08:24.030
Nothing has changed. What became
of that body in Yamaga's house?

02:08:24.989 --> 02:08:28.326
Did she just imagine what happened?

02:08:31.329 --> 02:08:36.709
She goes to Yamaga's house
but nothing seems out of the ordinary.

02:08:37.627 --> 02:08:39.337
Except for one thing...

02:08:40.546 --> 02:08:44.175
A surveillance camera has been
set up by the front door.

02:08:46.844 --> 02:08:52.516
To not appear guilty, she walks past
his house without stopping.

02:08:54.477 --> 02:08:56.354
Something terrible had happened,

02:08:57.521 --> 02:09:00.233
and she was to blame,

02:09:01.359 --> 02:09:04.612
but the world seemed serene
as if nothing had changed.

02:09:06.197 --> 02:09:12.286
However, the world had definitely
changed to something sinister.

02:09:13.913 --> 02:09:16.374
She turns back.

02:09:16.749 --> 02:09:17.959
"I..."

02:09:19.252 --> 02:09:22.296
"must take responsibility
for what I've done."

02:09:23.381 --> 02:09:26.092
"I can't pretend it didn't happen."

02:09:27.927 --> 02:09:29.971
"Because it definitely happened."

02:09:30.930 --> 02:09:35.142
"I definitely killed that man."

02:09:38.229 --> 02:09:44.068
She searches under the planter
but the key is no longer there.

02:09:45.611 --> 02:09:48.239
She stares at the surveillance camera.

02:09:49.073 --> 02:09:53.119
Because it's the only change
she has elicited in this world.

02:09:55.579 --> 02:09:57.748
She looks into the lens and

02:09:59.250 --> 02:10:01.919
repeats her words over and over.

02:10:04.088 --> 02:10:06.924
Clearly, so that she's understood,

02:10:08.634 --> 02:10:10.761
"I killed him."

02:10:12.430 --> 02:10:14.598
"I killed him."

02:10:16.809 --> 02:10:18.936
"I killed him."

02:10:24.942 --> 02:10:27.236
This is as far as I know.

02:10:28.612 --> 02:10:34.160
Maybe the tale ends there,
or maybe it continues.

02:10:36.662 --> 02:10:39.123
The story leaves a bad taste,

02:10:40.291 --> 02:10:43.294
but even so, when I heard it from her,

02:10:44.337 --> 02:10:48.174
I felt that Oto had handed me
something important.

02:10:51.010 --> 02:10:52.511
Mr. Kafuku.

02:10:57.516 --> 02:11:02.688
As far as I know,
Oto was a really lovely woman.

02:11:04.315 --> 02:11:10.363
Of course, what I know must be a tiny
fraction of what you know about her.

02:11:11.197 --> 02:11:14.158
But I still think so with certainty.

02:11:15.451 --> 02:11:18.871
You lived with such a lovely person
for over 20 years,

02:11:20.498 --> 02:11:25.169
and you should be grateful
about that. That's my opinion.

02:11:28.172 --> 02:11:31.509
But even if you think
you know someone well,

02:11:32.968 --> 02:11:35.346
even if you love that person deeply,

02:11:37.890 --> 02:11:41.185
you can't completely look into
that person's heart.

02:11:41.519 --> 02:11:43.687
You'll just feel hurt.

02:11:45.523 --> 02:11:48.442
But if you put in enough effort,

02:11:49.235 --> 02:11:53.030
you should be able to look into
your own heart pretty well.

02:11:54.490 --> 02:11:57.535
So in the end, what we should be doing

02:11:59.870 --> 02:12:02.289
is to be true to our hearts

02:12:03.416 --> 02:12:06.710
and come to terms with it
in a capable way.

02:12:10.714 --> 02:12:13.259
If you really want to look at someone,

02:12:15.553 --> 02:12:17.763
then your only option is

02:12:20.391 --> 02:12:22.768
to look at yourself squarely and deeply.

02:12:26.063 --> 02:12:27.898
That's what I think.

02:13:32.213 --> 02:13:33.464
You can go now.

02:14:08.165 --> 02:14:10.751
It didn't sound like he was lying.

02:14:17.633 --> 02:14:20.427
I don't know if it's the truth,

02:14:21.303 --> 02:14:24.598
but he was telling you
what was true to him.

02:14:27.184 --> 02:14:28.769
I can tell.

02:14:29.353 --> 02:14:32.064
Because I grew up among liars.

02:14:33.190 --> 02:14:36.026
I had to discern it or
I couldn't survive.

02:14:52.376 --> 02:14:53.794
Are you sure?

02:14:54.044 --> 02:14:55.421
Yeah.

02:16:06.950 --> 02:16:10.329
See, there they go again!
Those vulgar geese!

02:16:10.579 --> 02:16:12.206
Acting so boorishly!

02:16:12.373 --> 02:16:16.460
(Stop that man!
He's gone mad!)

02:16:16.627 --> 02:16:19.004
- (Give it to me!)
- Let me go, Yelena, let me go!

02:16:20.297 --> 02:16:21.965
Where is he?

02:16:23.467 --> 02:16:25.135
Ah, there he is!

02:16:25.302 --> 02:16:27.054
(No!)

02:16:36.647 --> 02:16:38.232
I didn't get him?

02:16:38.816 --> 02:16:40.818
I missed again?

02:16:41.318 --> 02:16:42.820
Damn it.

02:16:43.654 --> 02:16:45.698
God damn it!

02:16:45.823 --> 02:16:47.950
(Get me out of here!)

02:16:48.826 --> 02:16:50.911
What's wrong with me?

02:16:51.078 --> 02:16:54.581
(Kill me if you must.
I can't stay here anymore!)

02:16:54.707 --> 02:16:56.667
What am I doing?

02:17:12.725 --> 02:17:15.519
Takatsuki, that was good.

02:17:21.358 --> 02:17:22.901
- Takatsuki...
- Excuse me.

02:17:23.485 --> 02:17:24.737
What...

02:17:27.197 --> 02:17:29.575
I'm Kato, Hiroshima North Police.

02:17:30.033 --> 02:17:31.618
Excuse me.

02:17:34.538 --> 02:17:36.540
Koshi Takatsuki?

02:17:41.587 --> 02:17:42.546
Yes.

02:17:42.713 --> 02:17:45.048
Could we speak some place else?

02:17:47.760 --> 02:17:49.720
Here is fine.

02:17:51.847 --> 02:17:53.932
On Sunday, November 24,

02:17:54.892 --> 02:18:01.106
at around 7:30 p.m., you got into a fight
and beat up a man in Shintenchi Park.

02:18:01.607 --> 02:18:03.275
Is that correct?

02:18:05.736 --> 02:18:08.071
You were caught on camera.

02:18:09.239 --> 02:18:12.785
That man died in the hospital yesterday.

02:18:14.620 --> 02:18:18.499
Yes, I saw the news.

02:18:20.125 --> 02:18:23.962
I did it. That's correct.

02:18:25.464 --> 02:18:28.091
Come with us to the police station.

02:18:28.258 --> 02:18:30.344
- May I change?
- Yes.

02:19:31.363 --> 02:19:36.159
<i>"Hiroshima North Police"</i>

02:19:53.176 --> 02:19:54.595
The lawyer...

02:19:54.845 --> 02:19:59.600
says that Mr. Takatsuki admits to
the charge of injury resulting in death.

02:20:04.479 --> 02:20:06.023
Can I see him?

02:20:06.356 --> 02:20:08.191
Not now.

02:20:09.151 --> 02:20:12.905
More importantly, what shall
we do about the play?

02:20:15.198 --> 02:20:17.200
Must we think about that now?

02:20:17.367 --> 02:20:21.872
Yes. It's something we must think about.

02:20:22.831 --> 02:20:25.626
We have two choices.

02:20:27.210 --> 02:20:28.795
We cancel it,

02:20:29.254 --> 02:20:31.882
or you act in it.

02:20:37.012 --> 02:20:38.639
I can't do that.

02:20:40.098 --> 02:20:42.893
You know all the lines.

02:20:43.477 --> 02:20:47.981
Vanya in Japanese like Takatsuki
would be the least disruptive.

02:20:48.523 --> 02:20:49.816
Yoon-su.

02:20:51.234 --> 02:20:53.403
Why are we discussing this now?

02:20:58.909 --> 02:21:00.744
I can't do it.

02:21:02.579 --> 02:21:05.999
Then let's cancel.

02:21:07.042 --> 02:21:08.835
Is that all right?

02:21:21.264 --> 02:21:23.100
Give me some time.

02:21:23.892 --> 02:21:27.938
We can wait 2 days.
That's the limit.

02:21:29.064 --> 02:21:30.524
I understand.

02:21:31.400 --> 02:21:32.985
I'll get back to you.

02:21:50.919 --> 02:21:53.630
Do you know of a place where...

02:21:55.632 --> 02:21:57.134
I can think in peace?

02:22:07.477 --> 02:22:08.478
Oh.

02:22:09.479 --> 02:22:11.231
I'll drive you somewhere.

02:22:26.496 --> 02:22:28.373
Kami-junitaki Village.

02:22:33.378 --> 02:22:35.338
Are you willing to show me

02:22:36.673 --> 02:22:38.383
the place where you grew up?

02:22:41.386 --> 02:22:43.346
There's nothing there.

02:22:46.808 --> 02:22:48.518
If that's OK with you.

02:22:49.853 --> 02:22:51.188
I don't mind.

02:23:49.830 --> 02:23:51.706
I'll take the wheel somewhere.

02:23:53.375 --> 02:23:56.670
We should take turns
to get there in a day.

02:23:58.255 --> 02:23:59.923
No taking turns.

02:24:02.717 --> 02:24:03.927
Why not?

02:24:04.052 --> 02:24:06.805
Because driving is my job.

02:24:10.267 --> 02:24:13.478
I can go without sleeping for a day.

02:25:41.191 --> 02:25:42.525
Thank you.

02:25:42.692 --> 02:25:44.611
You can rest a bit more.

02:25:44.986 --> 02:25:46.571
I can sleep in the ferry.

02:25:46.988 --> 02:25:48.198
I see.

02:26:45.463 --> 02:26:47.090
The day Oto died...

02:26:51.261 --> 02:26:54.806
She asked before I left
if we could talk when I got home.

02:26:56.725 --> 02:26:59.311
Her tone was gentle but determined.

02:27:00.937 --> 02:27:04.774
I had no plans that day,
but kept on driving.

02:27:06.109 --> 02:27:07.610
I couldn't go home.

02:27:08.445 --> 02:27:13.783
I thought that once I went home,
we would never be the same again.

02:27:15.785 --> 02:27:18.955
I found her collapsed
when [ returned late at night.

02:27:21.458 --> 02:27:23.001
I called an ambulance,

02:27:27.255 --> 02:27:29.466
but she never regained consciousness.

02:27:32.302 --> 02:27:34.637
What if I'd gone home a bit earlier?

02:27:36.264 --> 02:27:38.183
I think so every day.

02:27:43.813 --> 02:27:45.190
I...

02:27:45.940 --> 02:27:47.692
killed my mother.

02:27:50.320 --> 02:27:52.822
When the landslide crushed our home,

02:27:53.948 --> 02:27:55.825
I was inside, too.

02:27:56.534 --> 02:28:00.663
I was able to crawl out
from the fallen house.

02:28:02.665 --> 02:28:06.669
After escaping, I gazed at
the half-collapsed house for a while.

02:28:08.171 --> 02:28:13.009
Then some more debris came falling
and completely destroyed it.

02:28:15.512 --> 02:28:18.598
My mother was found dead
under the debris.

02:28:21.017 --> 02:28:24.270
I knew she was still in the house.

02:28:25.855 --> 02:28:31.861
I don't know why I didn't call for help,
or why I didn't save her.

02:28:32.821 --> 02:28:36.950
I hated her, but that wasn't
the only thing I felt about her.

02:28:41.413 --> 02:28:45.375
This scar on my cheek
is from that accident.

02:28:46.668 --> 02:28:49.879
I was told surgery could make it
less conspicuous,

02:28:50.713 --> 02:28:53.758
but I don't feel like erasing it.

02:29:01.850 --> 02:29:04.394
If I were your father,

02:29:06.688 --> 02:29:08.898
I'd hold you round
the shoulders and say,

02:29:11.776 --> 02:29:13.403
"It's not your fault."

02:29:15.363 --> 02:29:17.407
"You did nothing wrong."

02:29:23.705 --> 02:29:25.123
But I can't say that.

02:29:29.294 --> 02:29:31.296
You killed your mother,

02:29:33.089 --> 02:29:34.841
and I killed my wife.

02:29:38.761 --> 02:29:39.971
Yes.

02:30:51.334 --> 02:30:54.420
<i>...altercation with Kazuya Yamauchi
of Hiroshima</i>

02:30:54.629 --> 02:30:58.007
<i>and assaulted him, repeatedly
punching him in the face.</i>

02:30:58.550 --> 02:31:03.179
<i>Yamauchi was taken to hospital
but was pronounced dead.</i>

02:31:04.347 --> 02:31:10.103
<i>Koshi Takatsuki is an actor who has
appeared in many dramas and movies,</i>

02:31:10.436 --> 02:31:15.066
<i>but after reports of his relationship
with a minor broke last year,</i>

02:31:15.567 --> 02:31:20.780
<i>he worked independently, quitting
his management company in January.</i>

02:31:50.226 --> 02:31:51.603
Good morning.

02:32:39.525 --> 02:32:44.280
<i>"Flowers & Vegetables For Sale"</i>

02:34:20.042 --> 02:34:22.462
Is this where you...

02:34:23.004 --> 02:34:24.589
Probably.

02:34:28.009 --> 02:34:29.886
It's changed a lot.

02:34:33.014 --> 02:34:34.724
Could we go up there?

02:35:29.111 --> 02:35:30.655
That's our house.

02:36:05.648 --> 02:36:06.899
My mother

02:36:08.442 --> 02:36:10.987
had a separate personality named Sachi.

02:36:13.865 --> 02:36:15.157
Sachi.

02:36:16.117 --> 02:36:17.410
Yes.

02:36:18.327 --> 02:36:21.163
She first appeared when I was 14,

02:36:22.498 --> 02:36:24.500
She said she was 8 years old,

02:36:24.625 --> 02:36:28.004
but she never aged in 4 years.

02:36:33.009 --> 02:36:34.510
Sachi would

02:36:35.177 --> 02:36:39.265
often appear after my mother
beat me up terribly.

02:36:42.351 --> 02:36:47.023
It was like her awareness didn't
match the body of an adult,

02:36:47.857 --> 02:36:49.692
so she couldn't move well.

02:36:51.485 --> 02:36:53.779
She'd try to walk but fall over,

02:36:54.864 --> 02:36:57.950
and would end up just sitting still.

02:37:03.664 --> 02:37:06.083
Sachi liked puzzle rings.

02:37:08.377 --> 02:37:11.088
We did crosswords together.

02:37:13.341 --> 02:37:16.302
Sachi cried a lot for no reason.

02:37:18.179 --> 02:37:20.222
Whenever she did, I'd hold her

02:37:20.890 --> 02:37:23.059
and rub her back over and over.

02:37:25.186 --> 02:37:29.398
I liked those times.

02:37:50.044 --> 02:37:52.922
The last beautiful thing in my mother

02:37:53.965 --> 02:37:56.467
was condensed in Sachi.

02:37:59.095 --> 02:38:00.846
Sachi was

02:38:03.265 --> 02:38:05.476
my only friend.

02:38:34.630 --> 02:38:37.800
I don't know if my mother
was mentally ill,

02:38:39.802 --> 02:38:44.807
or if she was acting to keep me
close to her.

02:38:48.310 --> 02:38:51.689
But even if she were acting,

02:38:53.357 --> 02:38:56.152
it was from the bottom of her heart.

02:38:59.697 --> 02:39:02.199
Becoming Sachi was my mother's way

02:39:03.826 --> 02:39:07.329
of surviving in a hellish reality,
I think.

02:39:18.382 --> 02:39:20.426
When that landslide occurred,

02:39:22.678 --> 02:39:24.847
I knew that my mother's death

02:39:26.015 --> 02:39:29.101
meant that Sachi would die, too.

02:39:31.729 --> 02:39:32.980
Even so...

02:39:36.192 --> 02:39:38.235
I didn't move.

02:39:57.379 --> 02:39:58.881
It's dirty.

02:40:12.895 --> 02:40:14.230
Mr. Kafuku,

02:40:15.064 --> 02:40:16.649
about Oto...

02:40:19.276 --> 02:40:22.780
Would it be hard for you to accept her,

02:40:23.531 --> 02:40:26.492
everything about her, as genuine?

02:40:29.245 --> 02:40:31.956
Maybe there was nothing
mysterious about her.

02:40:33.415 --> 02:40:37.086
Would it be hard to think
that she was simply like that?

02:40:39.421 --> 02:40:41.924
That she loved you dearly and

02:40:43.092 --> 02:40:45.845
that she sought other men constantly

02:40:47.721 --> 02:40:52.101
don't seem to contradict each other
or sound deceptive to me.

02:40:54.937 --> 02:40:56.689
Is that strange?

02:41:04.280 --> 02:41:05.614
I'm sorry.

02:41:17.501 --> 02:41:19.003
I...

02:41:21.839 --> 02:41:23.966
should have been hurt properly.

02:41:26.802 --> 02:41:28.971
I let something genuine slip by.

02:41:31.307 --> 02:41:33.517
I was so deeply hurt.

02:41:34.852 --> 02:41:36.812
To the point of distraction.

02:41:38.856 --> 02:41:40.357
But...

02:41:41.525 --> 02:41:43.027
Because of that...

02:41:44.528 --> 02:41:46.864
I pretended not to notice it.

02:41:49.491 --> 02:41:51.869
I didn't listen to myself.

02:41:59.543 --> 02:42:01.879
So I lost Oto.

02:42:04.548 --> 02:42:06.050
Forever.

02:42:09.053 --> 02:42:10.679
Now I see.

02:42:19.396 --> 02:42:21.106
I want to see Oto.

02:42:24.526 --> 02:42:26.362
If I do, I want to yell at her.

02:42:28.197 --> 02:42:29.698
Berate her.

02:42:30.824 --> 02:42:33.077
For lying to me all the time.

02:42:34.870 --> 02:42:36.288
I want to apologize.

02:42:39.166 --> 02:42:41.460
For not listening.

02:42:43.879 --> 02:42:46.090
For not being strong.

02:42:52.513 --> 02:42:53.973
I want her back.

02:42:55.933 --> 02:42:57.393
I want her to live.

02:42:59.520 --> 02:43:01.563
I want to talk to her just once more.

02:43:07.903 --> 02:43:09.571
I want to see her.

02:43:13.242 --> 02:43:14.827
But it's too late.

02:43:18.247 --> 02:43:19.957
There's no turning back.

02:43:21.750 --> 02:43:23.335
There's nothing I can do.

02:43:49.820 --> 02:43:51.530
Those who survive

02:43:52.489 --> 02:43:54.950
keep thinking about the dead.

02:43:56.618 --> 02:43:58.287
In one way or another,

02:44:00.497 --> 02:44:02.166
that will continue.

02:44:08.255 --> 02:44:09.798
You and I

02:44:11.008 --> 02:44:13.135
must keep living like that.

02:44:24.688 --> 02:44:26.315
We must keep on living.

02:44:40.496 --> 02:44:41.830
It'll be OK.

02:44:46.460 --> 02:44:48.003
I'm sure

02:44:51.131 --> 02:44:52.508
we'll be OK.

02:45:34.883 --> 02:45:38.053
<i>I refuse! Wait, I'm not done yet!</i>

02:45:38.929 --> 02:45:42.891
You destroyed my life.
I've never lived.

02:45:43.058 --> 02:45:47.896
Because of you, I wasted the
best years of my life and spoiled them.

02:45:48.188 --> 02:45:50.482
You're my foe. My bitter enemy!

02:45:50.607 --> 02:45:51.900
I can't stand it.

02:45:52.192 --> 02:45:54.153
(But what do you want?)

02:45:54.278 --> 02:45:55.404
I'm going.

02:45:55.529 --> 02:45:59.032
(What earthly right have you to use
such language to me?)

02:45:59.491 --> 02:46:01.368
(You fool!)

02:46:01.827 --> 02:46:06.248
(If this estate is yours, then take it,
I don't care!)

02:46:06.457 --> 02:46:10.419
(This is like hell. I can't stand it.
I'm leaving now.)

02:46:10.586 --> 02:46:13.672
I'm gifted and intelligent.
Courageous, too.

02:46:13.964 --> 02:46:17.926
If I'd lived normally, I might have been
another Schopenhauer or Dostoevsky.

02:46:18.135 --> 02:46:19.928
I'm sick of this nonsense!

02:46:20.596 --> 02:46:21.930
I'm losing my mind!

02:46:22.097 --> 02:46:24.933
Mother, I can't take it anymore!

02:46:25.142 --> 02:46:27.769
Listen to the professor!

02:46:27.895 --> 02:46:30.772
Mother, what should I do?

02:46:31.398 --> 02:46:36.278
No, never mind. Don't say anything.
I know what to do.

02:46:36.612 --> 02:46:38.822
I'll make you pay for this!

02:46:38.989 --> 02:46:40.407
Jean!

02:47:53.855 --> 02:47:55.190
<i>Sonya.</i>

02:48:06.368 --> 02:48:08.245
I'm miserable.

02:48:12.416 --> 02:48:15.210
If you only knew how miserable I am.

02:48:19.631 --> 02:48:22.217
<i>What can we do?</i>

02:48:22.342 --> 02:48:26.096
<i>We must live our lives.</i>

02:48:53.457 --> 02:48:57.169
<i>Yes, we shall live, Uncle Vanya.</i>

02:49:03.300 --> 02:49:06.053
<i>We'll live through the long, long days,</i>

02:49:06.178 --> 02:49:11.308
<i>and through the long nights.</i>

02:49:13.518 --> 02:49:20.525
<i>We'll patiently endure the trials
that fate sends our way.</i>

02:49:21.526 --> 02:49:25.781
<i>Even if we can't rest,</i>

02:49:25.906 --> 02:49:35.374
<i>we'll continue to work for others</i>

02:49:35.874 --> 02:49:41.296
<i>both now and when we have grown old.</i>

02:49:43.173 --> 02:49:46.551
<i>And when our last hour comes</i>

02:49:46.677 --> 02:49:52.057
<i>well go quietly.</i>

02:49:56.353 --> 02:50:05.487
<i>And in the great beyond,
we'll say to Him</i>

02:50:07.906 --> 02:50:15.580
<i>that we suffered,</i>

02:50:15.706 --> 02:50:20.836
<i>that we cried,</i>

02:50:21.211 --> 02:50:25.966
<i>that life was hard.</i>

02:50:27.426 --> 02:50:32.180
<i>And God...</i>

02:50:32.305 --> 02:50:40.897
<i>will have pity on us.</i>

02:50:46.236 --> 02:50:50.115
<i>Then you and I...</i>

02:50:50.574 --> 02:50:56.705
<i>well see that bright, wonderful,</i>

02:50:56.830 --> 02:51:02.169
<i>dreamlike life before our eyes.</i>

02:51:03.962 --> 02:51:08.467
<i>We shall rejoice, and</i>

02:51:08.633 --> 02:51:13.972
<i>with tender smiles on our faces,</i>

02:51:14.181 --> 02:51:19.519
<i>we'll look back on our current sorrow.</i>

02:51:23.482 --> 02:51:25.484
<i>And then at last,</i>

02:51:25.609 --> 02:51:30.071
<i>we shall rest.</i>

02:51:33.992 --> 02:51:38.455
<i>I believe it.</i>

02:51:38.914 --> 02:51:43.335
<i>I strongly believe it
from the bottom of my heart.</i>

02:51:43.460 --> 02:51:48.381
<i>When that time comes,</i>

02:51:51.218 --> 02:51:57.098
<i>we shall rest.</i>

02:53:20.765 --> 02:53:22.392
(Need a plastic bag?)

02:53:22.559 --> 02:53:24.311
(No, I'm fine.)

02:53:27.647 --> 02:53:28.982
(Saving your points?)

02:53:29.107 --> 02:53:29.941
(No.)
