00:01:05.107 --> 00:01:06.400
Hi, little one...

00:01:14.492 --> 00:01:22.458
True Mothers

00:02:20.683 --> 00:02:26.147
<i>Beautiful one
who I vowed to protect</i>

00:02:26.438 --> 00:02:32.153
<i>Even if my eyes were deprived of light</i>

00:02:33.863 --> 00:02:35.197
Good job!

00:02:40.703 --> 00:02:42.663
Lean over.

00:02:43.873 --> 00:02:47.376
Down lower so you won't splash.
Good!

00:02:47.543 --> 00:02:49.795
I did it!- OK, my turn.

00:02:50.462 --> 00:02:54.216
Why can't we take the bus today?

00:02:55.718 --> 00:02:59.513
Asato, you begin elementary school
next year.

00:02:59.930 --> 00:03:04.059
Did you know that all the kids
walk there?

00:03:04.852 --> 00:03:05.853
Yes.

00:03:06.896 --> 00:03:12.526
So we'll practice by walking to
kindergarten today.

00:03:13.027 --> 00:03:15.154
I like the bus though.

00:03:16.238 --> 00:03:20.910
Not today but guess what?
All three of us are going!

00:03:21.744 --> 00:03:24.079
The three of us?- Yes.

00:03:24.205 --> 00:03:26.248
With Dad?- Correct!

00:03:26.415 --> 00:03:27.750
Yes!

00:03:27.875 --> 00:03:31.003
He said he'd come with us.

00:03:39.970 --> 00:03:42.431
Don't do that!- It's dripping.

00:03:44.934 --> 00:03:47.061
Come on, Dad's waiting.

00:03:48.646 --> 00:03:51.440
Make sure you have everything.

00:03:52.983 --> 00:03:56.111
Let's go. Put your shoes on.

00:04:03.077 --> 00:04:04.119
Lights off.

00:04:04.912 --> 00:04:07.456
Off we go.- Off we go!

00:04:08.123 --> 00:04:09.458
Off we go!

00:04:50.165 --> 00:04:51.292
Hello.

00:04:56.505 --> 00:04:57.798
Hello?

00:05:16.483 --> 00:05:18.944
This is Mrs. Kurihara.

00:05:19.820 --> 00:05:26.869
<i>This is Ms. Yokota, Asato's
kindergarten teacher.</i>

00:05:29.246 --> 00:05:32.207
Oh... yes, Ms. Yokota.

00:05:32.333 --> 00:05:37.713
<i>This is about...
He fell from the jungle gym.</i>

00:05:39.506 --> 00:05:42.301
<i>Not your son but Sora.</i>

00:05:45.346 --> 00:05:51.894
<i>And Sora claims that
Asato pushed him off the jungle gym.</i>

00:05:57.274 --> 00:06:01.570
Did Sora break any bones?
Was he hurt?

00:06:02.446 --> 00:06:05.741
No, he's OK... Just a twisted ankle.

00:06:07.993 --> 00:06:09.036
Good...

00:06:09.161 --> 00:06:15.584
We rushed to help. Through his tears
Sora mentioned your son's name.

00:06:16.627 --> 00:06:22.174
Sora clearly said that
Asato pushed him?

00:06:22.966 --> 00:06:24.009
Yes.

00:06:38.107 --> 00:06:40.109
What did Asato say?

00:06:40.901 --> 00:06:47.116
He noticed that Sora wasn't there
but he doesn't remember pushing him.

00:06:47.449 --> 00:06:50.744
He just remembers being
on the jungle gym.

00:06:51.537 --> 00:06:54.581
What do you make of it?

00:06:55.165 --> 00:06:57.960
We can't say for sure

00:06:58.836 --> 00:07:05.300
but Asato might have knocked Sora off
without realizing it.

00:07:20.858 --> 00:07:23.819
Asato, let's go home.

00:07:26.071 --> 00:07:27.990
I didn't do it.

00:07:43.672 --> 00:07:45.632
Hi, it's me.

00:07:47.342 --> 00:07:49.261
<i>I thought you'd call.</i>

00:07:50.846 --> 00:07:55.017
Yes... I wanted to ask if
Sora is okay?

00:07:57.019 --> 00:08:00.355
<i>His leg's in pain...</i>

00:08:04.276 --> 00:08:05.527
<i>So...</i>

00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:12.034
<i>A settlement would be fair
I think.</i>

00:08:12.409 --> 00:08:15.954
<i>For medical expenses
for a start...</i>

00:08:16.955 --> 00:08:18.332
What? Sorry?

00:08:18.790 --> 00:08:25.214
<i>Sora will miss his swimming class
and there's the cab fare to the doctor.</i>

00:08:26.381 --> 00:08:31.386
Asato says he didn't do it.

00:08:32.554 --> 00:08:34.890
<i>Oh God, I'm shocked!</i>

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:39.478
<i>So you're not apologizing?</i>

00:08:41.230 --> 00:08:44.233
What did Sora tell you...?

00:08:45.776 --> 00:08:46.902
<i>Excuse me?</i>

00:08:47.277 --> 00:08:50.531
Maybe we can ask Sora again...
<i>- Unbelievable.</i>

00:08:50.656 --> 00:08:52.574
<i>You think he's a liar?</i>

00:08:52.991 --> 00:08:54.743
<i>I resent that!</i>

00:08:55.744 --> 00:09:00.415
It's just...
<i>- You live on the 30th floor</i>

00:09:01.333 --> 00:09:06.588
<i>so you must be loaded.
I didn't expect you to be stingy.</i>

00:09:08.549 --> 00:09:11.343
It's not about money...

00:09:12.302 --> 00:09:15.514
I just want to know more.
<i>- No way.</i>

00:09:16.431 --> 00:09:17.558
But...

00:09:32.864 --> 00:09:36.034
Can I play with Sora again...?

00:09:39.830 --> 00:09:43.125
Yes... You can.

00:10:47.481 --> 00:10:48.940
Good morning.

00:10:50.192 --> 00:10:52.861
See you. Let's go, kids.

00:10:53.487 --> 00:10:54.613
Hurry.

00:10:54.946 --> 00:10:56.114
Does it hurt?

00:10:57.282 --> 00:10:58.325
Come on.

00:11:05.999 --> 00:11:08.543
<i>Kids will be kids,
so apologize...</i>

00:11:10.379 --> 00:11:13.340
<i>Apologize and put it behind you.</i>

00:11:26.186 --> 00:11:27.646
You think

00:11:30.148 --> 00:11:31.566
he pushed him?

00:11:35.487 --> 00:11:39.574
Well... You know how kids play...

00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.204
I don't know but it's not a big deal.

00:11:47.624 --> 00:11:50.001
Don't let it get you down.

00:11:52.504 --> 00:11:54.256
Right. I'll try not to.

00:12:00.345 --> 00:12:01.388
Do that.

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.434
I can't let it get to me...

00:12:13.400 --> 00:12:14.568
You alright?

00:12:19.573 --> 00:12:20.615
Maybe.

00:12:21.908 --> 00:12:24.453
How could I doubt my boy?

00:13:06.077 --> 00:13:08.497
You always wanted a child?

00:13:09.998 --> 00:13:14.461
It's not about <i>wanting</i> one
but I'm open to it.

00:13:20.008 --> 00:13:21.176
You're right.

00:13:23.053 --> 00:13:24.346
I'll think about it.

00:13:33.355 --> 00:13:34.523
I'll ask for more wine...

00:13:37.192 --> 00:13:39.194
Don't drink too much.

00:13:40.195 --> 00:13:42.155
It's tonight!- Yes.

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:45.784
The egg's coming?

00:13:46.284 --> 00:13:47.828
Yes, it's egg day.

00:13:48.286 --> 00:13:51.206
Then I won't have more.

00:13:51.540 --> 00:13:57.379
When we have a child, we won't be
able to eat out like this.

00:13:57.546 --> 00:13:59.214
No hiking and camping...

00:14:00.674 --> 00:14:01.633
How about...

00:14:02.884 --> 00:14:06.054
Utsunomiya. Our first date...

00:14:06.888 --> 00:14:08.849
Remember that?

00:14:10.308 --> 00:14:12.811
The rocks...- I know, I know.

00:14:12.936 --> 00:14:16.731
"What are all these rocks?
What are they?"

00:14:16.898 --> 00:14:19.568
"Why? Why <i>Oya stone</i>?"

00:14:20.151 --> 00:14:22.904
"Rocks are Earth's memories!"

00:14:23.238 --> 00:14:24.406
"A revelation!"

00:14:24.614 --> 00:14:26.074
The memories...

00:14:26.241 --> 00:14:28.493
And it was an overnight trip!

00:14:29.786 --> 00:14:33.164
You behaved like a girl
half your age.

00:14:33.582 --> 00:14:34.541
Really.

00:14:35.750 --> 00:14:39.546
I'll call our office's
harassment hotline!

00:14:40.255 --> 00:14:41.548
Forgive me.

00:14:42.048 --> 00:14:43.341
No, it's war.

00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:50.891
Firstly, we got the results
of your semen analysis.

00:14:51.057 --> 00:14:58.023
There is a possibility that
you have azoospermia.

00:14:59.941 --> 00:15:01.443
Azoospermia?

00:15:02.193 --> 00:15:05.447
Yes, there's a high probability.

00:15:05.572 --> 00:15:07.532
A probability?- Yes.

00:15:08.742 --> 00:15:09.784
Here.

00:15:13.288 --> 00:15:14.456
Zero count...

00:15:15.916 --> 00:15:18.627
There's no sperm?

00:15:18.793 --> 00:15:21.046
Not in the semen.

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:25.759
The ejaculatory duct might
be blocked.

00:15:26.301 --> 00:15:27.469
Blocked?

00:15:28.637 --> 00:15:32.390
So even if there's no sperm
in your semen

00:15:32.515 --> 00:15:37.729
it can be extracted
from your testicles or scrotum.

00:15:38.021 --> 00:15:40.482
Which increases your chances.

00:15:41.650 --> 00:15:45.487
Extract... by a surgical procedure?

00:15:45.654 --> 00:15:46.446
Yes.

00:15:55.163 --> 00:15:56.289
I see.

00:15:57.332 --> 00:15:58.500
Can I...

00:16:00.085 --> 00:16:01.336
think about it?

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:03.421
Sure.

00:17:29.549 --> 00:17:30.592
Satoko.

00:17:36.264 --> 00:17:40.727
The possibility of you
getting pregnant

00:17:44.939 --> 00:17:46.274
might be...

00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:49.611
Zero.

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.283
Right.

00:17:55.617 --> 00:17:56.743
So...

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:59.704
Just remember

00:18:01.247 --> 00:18:03.416
that divorce is

00:18:06.086 --> 00:18:07.295
an option.

00:18:11.508 --> 00:18:12.634
Sorry...

00:18:14.177 --> 00:18:15.970
But for me

00:18:17.722 --> 00:18:18.890
that is

00:18:21.017 --> 00:18:22.727
not an option.

00:18:37.534 --> 00:18:38.660
Brr...

00:18:40.954 --> 00:18:42.747
It's chilly.

00:19:12.902 --> 00:19:16.156
I remember being with you!

00:19:17.490 --> 00:19:21.202
On site.- When my second kid was born.

00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:25.498
You were working!- I couldn't be at the birth.

00:19:27.083 --> 00:19:30.211
Enough about me.
How about you?

00:19:31.171 --> 00:19:31.963
Well?

00:19:32.088 --> 00:19:34.215
Me?- You and her.

00:19:34.591 --> 00:19:38.136
You take days off together
every month.

00:19:38.303 --> 00:19:40.847
We go to Sapporo.- For fun?

00:19:43.266 --> 00:19:45.643
We go there...

00:19:50.356 --> 00:19:52.400
to make a baby.

00:19:55.320 --> 00:20:01.659
What? Is there a libido god
in Sapporo or something?

00:20:01.784 --> 00:20:04.078
You're the best!

00:20:04.245 --> 00:20:05.246
Am I?

00:20:05.788 --> 00:20:07.207
For ICSI.

00:20:07.415 --> 00:20:10.752
What?- An intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

00:20:13.213 --> 00:20:16.758
Because my sperm is...

00:20:18.593 --> 00:20:22.889
My sperm isn't doing well.

00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:30.939
So they make an incision
in my testicle

00:20:31.314 --> 00:20:36.444
and they scrape my sperm out
so that

00:20:37.237 --> 00:20:41.366
the sperm and the egg can
have a blind date.

00:20:42.492 --> 00:20:44.118
A blind date...

00:20:48.289 --> 00:20:49.415
So I...

00:20:53.503 --> 00:20:55.255
Well...

00:20:56.339 --> 00:20:58.049
Tell me...

00:20:58.758 --> 00:21:01.135
What is sex?

00:21:02.345 --> 00:21:06.140
Do you know what sex really is?

00:21:09.310 --> 00:21:10.603
It's a miracle.

00:21:12.146 --> 00:21:14.732
It's truly a miracle.

00:21:18.820 --> 00:21:25.326
You made two children...
That's nothing but a miracle.

00:21:25.952 --> 00:21:28.496
Is it a miracle?

00:21:30.623 --> 00:21:32.000
It is.

00:21:52.937 --> 00:22:00.361
<i>Attention, passengers on
ANA Flight 59 to Sapporo.</i>

00:22:01.195 --> 00:22:06.993
<i>ANA Flight 59 was scheduled to
depart at 10 a. m.</i>

00:22:07.618 --> 00:22:12.665
<i>but due to a heavy snowfall in Sapporo,</i>

00:22:12.790 --> 00:22:14.625
<i>it's been cancelled.</i>

00:22:16.044 --> 00:22:17.211
What now?

00:22:19.213 --> 00:22:21.507
No Shinkansen either...

00:22:23.634 --> 00:22:25.887
Shinkansen don't go there.

00:22:34.771 --> 00:22:38.733
Let's call it off.

00:22:44.322 --> 00:22:46.908
Let's cancel our flight

00:22:49.577 --> 00:22:51.371
eat something nice

00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:54.665
watch a movie

00:22:57.835 --> 00:22:59.003
and go home.

00:23:03.800 --> 00:23:06.260
We don't have to go to Sapporo.

00:23:11.808 --> 00:23:12.892
But...

00:23:15.853 --> 00:23:17.855
Are you sure?

00:23:19.816 --> 00:23:20.942
Yes.

00:23:24.195 --> 00:23:25.238
Sorry.

00:23:35.581 --> 00:23:36.707
Sorry...

00:23:39.961 --> 00:23:43.714
I wanted to end this
much sooner but

00:23:45.758 --> 00:23:47.593
I couldn't tell you.

00:23:59.605 --> 00:24:00.898
It's us two.

00:24:03.568 --> 00:24:04.735
You and I

00:24:07.989 --> 00:24:09.157
we'll go on.

00:24:57.205 --> 00:24:58.998
Whoa, that's amazing!

00:24:59.373 --> 00:25:05.046
Be careful up there.- It's like a cliff!

00:25:08.424 --> 00:25:12.386
The color of the rocks changes in
the light.

00:25:14.263 --> 00:25:18.309
It's amazing how they're all
carved by hand!

00:25:22.146 --> 00:25:23.397
Rocks...

00:25:24.065 --> 00:25:27.860
They're Earth's memories.

00:25:29.278 --> 00:25:30.404
Amazing.

00:25:33.491 --> 00:25:36.035
Our hands aren't in.- It's OK.

00:25:51.926 --> 00:25:56.597
I think the preliminary football game
is on today.

00:25:57.390 --> 00:25:59.058
We're at hot springs!

00:25:59.392 --> 00:26:02.103
What channel is it?

00:26:09.151 --> 00:26:10.236
Not this...

00:26:12.363 --> 00:26:17.952
<i>We consulted a doctor
soon after we got married.</i>

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:23.958
<i>That's when we heard that my
husband had almost no sperm.</i>

00:26:24.083 --> 00:26:29.213
<i>We learned that our chance of
having a baby was zero.</i>

00:26:30.006 --> 00:26:36.971
<i>I thought that it would best for her
if we got a divorce.</i>

00:26:42.018 --> 00:26:48.065
<i>It's not that only a biological child
could fulfill me</i>

00:26:48.441 --> 00:26:55.656
<i>it was just hard to give up on it
while I was at a childbearing age.</i>

00:26:58.492 --> 00:27:00.578
<i>This is Kana from Kyushu.</i>

00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:07.168
<i>She's expecting and decided
to put her baby up for adoption.</i>

00:27:10.379 --> 00:27:13.341
<i>Until she gives birth</i>

00:27:13.507 --> 00:27:19.680
<i>a nonprofit organization called
Baby Baton will house her.</i>

00:27:20.222 --> 00:27:26.937
<i>I'd been in a relationship for a while
when I got pregnant.</i>

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:33.444
<i>But when I told him about it...</i>

00:27:34.820 --> 00:27:37.365
<i>he said that he was married.</i>

00:27:39.367 --> 00:27:40.618
<i>Really...</i>

00:27:42.995 --> 00:27:44.955
<i>What did he say?</i>

00:27:52.713 --> 00:27:57.218
<i>He told me to get a job
and be a single mom.</i>

00:28:02.890 --> 00:28:08.229
<i>I got pregnant twice,
when I was 39 and 40.</i>

00:28:11.232 --> 00:28:17.738
<i>Both times there was a heartbeat
but neither of them made it.</i>

00:28:18.572 --> 00:28:26.247
<i>The consequences of the surgery
and the miscarriages...</i>

00:28:26.580 --> 00:28:29.709
<i>left me with a feeling of loss.</i>

00:28:31.043 --> 00:28:35.589
<i>They attend meetings and
share their experiences</i>

00:28:35.756 --> 00:28:40.469
<i>with couples who are
looking to adopt.</i>

00:28:41.971 --> 00:28:44.765
<i>Those who visit Baby Baton</i>

00:28:45.266 --> 00:28:52.523
<i>are usually out of options
and feel alone in their pursuit.</i>

00:28:52.690 --> 00:28:57.611
<i>Rather than ending up as a
child welfare case</i>

00:28:58.320 --> 00:29:04.952
<i>it's better for children to
find love in new homes.</i>

00:29:10.374 --> 00:29:15.755
<i>It's unfair on children to be raised
by ill-equipped mothers.</i>

00:29:16.964 --> 00:29:24.305
<i>They can go to couples who
want a child but can't have one.</i>

00:29:24.722 --> 00:29:28.726
<i>They'll be loved...
That's what is important.</i>

00:29:32.772 --> 00:29:40.446
<i>Baby Baton is not a place
where parents find their children.</i>

00:29:40.571 --> 00:29:45.117
<i>It's a place where
children find their parents.</i>

00:29:57.046 --> 00:30:01.509
<i>One woman said that she can't
envision life without a child.</i>

00:30:01.675 --> 00:30:06.972
<i>As a father I know how parents
put their children first.</i>

00:30:07.139 --> 00:30:10.267
We ended up watching the whole show.

00:30:30.287 --> 00:30:32.706
"Baby Baton"

00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:42.341
"Search history"

00:30:50.933 --> 00:30:54.895
"Pass the Baton
Give children a future"

00:30:59.525 --> 00:31:01.819
I'm home.- Hi.

00:31:10.744 --> 00:31:11.871
Got a moment?

00:31:16.917 --> 00:31:21.171
Baby Baton...
Did you google them?

00:31:28.429 --> 00:31:29.346
Why?

00:31:32.641 --> 00:31:37.187
You're interested in... adoption?

00:31:40.149 --> 00:31:41.275
It's not...

00:31:45.529 --> 00:31:51.201
I'm not obsessed about
us having a child.

00:31:55.164 --> 00:32:00.294
And it's not exactly because
I want to please you either...

00:32:03.797 --> 00:32:09.803
I just can't forget what I heard
about adoption on that TV show.

00:32:10.721 --> 00:32:11.805
That...

00:32:14.016 --> 00:32:19.146
it's not for parents
to find children

00:32:19.897 --> 00:32:23.275
but for the children
to find parents.

00:32:26.153 --> 00:32:33.327
There is a couple in this house
who are eligible to be parents.

00:32:37.289 --> 00:32:38.332
So

00:32:39.708 --> 00:32:44.672
I thought we might be
able to help out.

00:33:03.857 --> 00:33:05.526
Hello.

00:33:05.943 --> 00:33:07.486
We're the Kuriharas.

00:33:08.237 --> 00:33:09.780
Nice to meet you.

00:33:13.033 --> 00:33:14.535
Welcome.

00:33:17.162 --> 00:33:20.040
I'm Asami and I started Baby Baton.

00:33:20.416 --> 00:33:22.960
It's good to have you here.

00:33:24.044 --> 00:33:29.383
Baby Baton is an adoption agency
that unites those

00:33:29.508 --> 00:33:36.306
who can't raise their children
with others who can't have them.

00:33:37.516 --> 00:33:43.731
Plenary adoptions protect children
whose parents can't raise them.

00:33:44.231 --> 00:33:51.030
Once you have family court approval
you'll get parental rights

00:33:51.405 --> 00:33:56.076
while the birth parents
relinquish theirs.

00:33:56.410 --> 00:33:59.246
Parental rights
are irreversible.

00:34:01.832 --> 00:34:05.210
Let me talk about our
important policy.

00:34:05.961 --> 00:34:09.006
Be truthful with the children.

00:34:09.715 --> 00:34:16.930
Tell them about their birth parents
before they begin elementary school.

00:34:18.557 --> 00:34:22.227
Children are entitled to
know the truth.

00:34:23.270 --> 00:34:27.941
Our priority is the children's safety
and wellness

00:34:28.150 --> 00:34:34.114
so applicants must meet the
following criteria.

00:34:34.907 --> 00:34:38.619
Preferably couples must have been
married for over 3 years

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:44.917
and one parent must stay at home
to care for the child.

00:34:46.043 --> 00:34:52.216
If both parents work, one must quit
his or her work.

00:34:52.966 --> 00:34:59.973
Please provide your resignation
details at the interview.

00:35:09.399 --> 00:35:12.986
Do you have any questions so far?

00:35:15.823 --> 00:35:20.619
Can we decide on the child's name?

00:35:20.869 --> 00:35:24.456
Yes. The adoptive parents can
name the child.

00:35:24.832 --> 00:35:31.505
You can't choose the gender
so prepare a boy and a girl's name.

00:35:31.630 --> 00:35:36.301
Both names will be submitted
when you register.

00:35:39.930 --> 00:35:46.520
Could you clarify the policy when
both parents are working?

00:35:46.645 --> 00:35:50.649
I'm able to reduce my hours.

00:35:50.774 --> 00:35:58.365
His parents are healthy and
willing to help us raise a child.

00:35:58.532 --> 00:36:01.660
Would that be acceptable?

00:36:02.202 --> 00:36:08.000
OK. I understand the reluctance
to let go of a job.

00:36:08.458 --> 00:36:11.795
But for the benefit of the children

00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:16.508
we ask you to accept our policy
with no exceptions.

00:36:16.884 --> 00:36:18.385
Please understand.

00:36:20.762 --> 00:36:24.558
Let me introduce
some people to you now.

00:36:24.933 --> 00:36:27.519
Hello. Have you been good?

00:36:31.523 --> 00:36:33.901
When he became our child

00:36:34.776 --> 00:36:39.323
my husband quietly began to cry.

00:36:39.990 --> 00:36:44.578
That made me feel less alone
in those hard times.

00:36:45.037 --> 00:36:51.043
I realized how hard
it had been for him too.

00:36:53.212 --> 00:36:56.924
Hello, everyone.
I'm Kiyohiko's grandpa.

00:36:58.425 --> 00:37:04.890
When I first heard about the adoption
I wasn't so sure about it.

00:37:05.057 --> 00:37:10.270
But my wife and I also couldn't
have a child for 10 years.

00:37:10.896 --> 00:37:14.900
Just as I started to explore adoption

00:37:15.108 --> 00:37:19.613
my wife got pregnant with
our daughter here.

00:37:20.447 --> 00:37:23.575
So I know how hard it was for her.

00:37:23.700 --> 00:37:27.621
I visited ob-gyn doctors
to get checkups.

00:37:27.788 --> 00:37:32.209
But luckily I had
an adorable daughter.

00:37:32.334 --> 00:37:36.046
Now I have an adorable grandson.

00:37:36.463 --> 00:37:39.758
It made me so happy that I cried.

00:37:40.801 --> 00:37:42.594
He's our sunshine.

00:37:43.136 --> 00:37:47.641
He really is.
The whole house is brighter now.

00:37:47.849 --> 00:37:52.271
Our relationship transcends
blood kinship.

00:37:52.396 --> 00:37:55.315
If you go ahead and adopt a child

00:37:55.816 --> 00:38:00.320
one day you'll know
what I meant today.

00:38:02.614 --> 00:38:03.782
He's asleep!

00:38:04.574 --> 00:38:08.829
Have you already told your child
that he was adopted?

00:38:08.996 --> 00:38:12.791
Yes. I told him that
he has three mothers.

00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:19.589
Me, his birth mother and
Ms. Asami who introduced him to us.

00:38:20.048 --> 00:38:23.760
I told him to be grateful to
all his mothers.

00:38:24.011 --> 00:38:26.346
They started to look alike.

00:38:27.055 --> 00:38:28.598
It's mysterious.

00:38:33.812 --> 00:38:34.855
Satoko.

00:38:42.904 --> 00:38:45.365
I want a family.

00:38:48.201 --> 00:38:49.536
I'm glad we came.

00:39:37.584 --> 00:39:42.255
<i>The baby I want you to raise
has arrived.</i>

00:39:44.049 --> 00:39:46.176
<i>Congratulations.</i>

00:39:48.428 --> 00:39:49.763
<i>Congratulations.</i>

00:39:50.389 --> 00:39:51.765
Thank you.

00:40:20.544 --> 00:40:22.087
Your wait is over!

00:40:24.714 --> 00:40:26.425
This is your child.

00:40:35.684 --> 00:40:39.062
He likes his milk and is very healthy.

00:40:43.024 --> 00:40:44.651
You want to hold him?

00:40:50.323 --> 00:40:53.160
Meet your mom and dad.

00:40:58.081 --> 00:41:01.001
Your eyes are open. Can you see me?

00:41:02.544 --> 00:41:03.670
His hair...

00:41:08.091 --> 00:41:11.261
Would you like to meet
his birth mother?

00:41:16.099 --> 00:41:18.810
Only if you want to.

00:41:23.190 --> 00:41:24.274
I do.

00:41:33.867 --> 00:41:35.160
Yes please.

00:41:58.183 --> 00:42:01.228
Um... Thank you so much.

00:42:03.605 --> 00:42:08.151
Thank you for giving birth to him.

00:42:41.268 --> 00:42:42.435
Asato...

00:42:44.646 --> 00:42:45.772
is his name.

00:42:53.196 --> 00:42:54.573
I'm sorry.

00:42:58.368 --> 00:42:59.786
Look after him.

00:43:12.215 --> 00:43:13.258
We will.

00:43:29.524 --> 00:43:33.069
Mom, I'm sorry.

00:43:38.158 --> 00:43:39.492
What for?

00:43:44.581 --> 00:43:45.957
I'm sorry.

00:43:53.506 --> 00:43:57.302
Should I say that I pushed him?

00:44:26.665 --> 00:44:27.707
Hello?

00:44:28.375 --> 00:44:29.376
<i>Hello.</i>

00:44:31.044 --> 00:44:34.214
<i>This is Ms. Yokota,
Asato's teacher.</i>

00:44:35.006 --> 00:44:36.549
Yes...?

00:44:38.343 --> 00:44:41.137
<i>It's about the jungle gym accident.</i>

00:44:45.141 --> 00:44:50.855
<i>Sora told his mother this morning
that he jumped and wasn't pushed.</i>

00:44:57.070 --> 00:44:58.530
<i>I apologize.</i>

00:45:05.286 --> 00:45:08.748
<i>Mrs. Kurihara?</i>

00:45:10.917 --> 00:45:15.255
He wasn't allowed to play with Sora
but now he can!

00:45:15.755 --> 00:45:21.094
Sora told Asato
that he was sorry to have lied.

00:45:21.344 --> 00:45:24.514
And Asato said, "It's OK."

00:45:25.682 --> 00:45:27.600
So they'll meet at the zoo.

00:45:31.730 --> 00:45:33.857
Nice, isn't it?- Yes.

00:45:34.816 --> 00:45:36.192
Yum!- Don't!

00:45:37.110 --> 00:45:38.903
Aren't we going?

00:45:39.696 --> 00:45:42.615
Right. Let's get ready.

00:45:42.866 --> 00:45:43.950
Get your bag.

00:45:46.494 --> 00:45:49.622
I'll get the car.- I won't be long.

00:45:50.290 --> 00:45:52.751
I want to see tigers.

00:45:53.626 --> 00:45:54.627
How about you?

00:45:55.086 --> 00:45:56.379
Lions.

00:46:19.611 --> 00:46:20.653
Hello?

00:46:28.953 --> 00:46:29.996
<i>Hello.</i>

00:46:34.250 --> 00:46:35.835
Who is this?

00:46:37.962 --> 00:46:41.508
<i>Is this the Kuriharas?</i>

00:46:44.177 --> 00:46:45.345
It's Katakura.

00:46:49.682 --> 00:46:52.352
You're... Hikari?

00:46:56.439 --> 00:46:57.440
Yes.

00:47:01.236 --> 00:47:04.948
I want my child back.

00:47:11.037 --> 00:47:13.832
<i>He's there, right? Asato.</i>

00:47:23.258 --> 00:47:25.885
Why now...?

00:47:29.889 --> 00:47:31.349
<i>Why not?</i>

00:47:32.517 --> 00:47:34.185
<i>I gave birth to him.</i>

00:47:40.567 --> 00:47:41.568
But...

00:47:44.112 --> 00:47:47.073
it's impossible.

00:47:47.490 --> 00:47:51.035
If you won't give him back,
pay me.

00:47:53.454 --> 00:47:56.249
Then I'll back off.

00:47:58.084 --> 00:48:01.754
If you won't give me money
I'll expose the truth.

00:48:03.548 --> 00:48:07.218
To his elementary school
and neighbors...

00:48:08.261 --> 00:48:09.846
<i>And to him.</i>

00:48:14.976 --> 00:48:18.938
OK... I see.

00:48:26.571 --> 00:48:29.115
Let's meet and discuss this.

00:49:24.671 --> 00:49:25.672
Come in.

00:49:52.740 --> 00:49:55.201
Who are you...?

00:49:57.829 --> 00:49:59.288
His mother...

00:50:01.624 --> 00:50:03.543
I don't think you're her.

00:50:06.462 --> 00:50:11.634
Adoptive parents don't usually get to
meet the birth parents.

00:50:12.301 --> 00:50:13.344
So

00:50:16.139 --> 00:50:18.683
you thought you'd trick us.

00:50:21.477 --> 00:50:22.854
In our case

00:50:26.232 --> 00:50:28.359
we met the boy's mother.

00:50:30.069 --> 00:50:34.532
A junior high student who
was with her parents.

00:50:39.912 --> 00:50:42.081
I remember Hikari Katakura

00:50:43.541 --> 00:50:45.168
very well.

00:50:45.334 --> 00:50:47.211
Who are you?

00:50:49.088 --> 00:50:50.089
I'm—

00:50:50.590 --> 00:50:53.217
What are you doing this for?

00:50:53.885 --> 00:50:57.346
You said you'd tell people
about Asato.

00:50:59.015 --> 00:51:01.893
This is blackmail.

00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:09.192
It wouldn't go well for you
if everyone knew he's not yours.

00:51:09.358 --> 00:51:10.693
Your scheme

00:51:12.028 --> 00:51:13.613
won't work.

00:51:14.322 --> 00:51:18.618
He knows very well
that he was adopted.

00:51:18.910 --> 00:51:23.372
And his kindergarten
and neighbors also know.

00:51:24.749 --> 00:51:30.296
There's no reason
to hide his adoption.

00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:35.301
Your agenda is
based on a wrong assumption.

00:51:37.678 --> 00:51:39.263
It's offensive.

00:51:40.348 --> 00:51:41.766
On the phone

00:51:43.976 --> 00:51:50.483
you said you'd tell the
elementary school.

00:51:55.446 --> 00:51:57.448
He's in kindergarten.

00:51:59.534 --> 00:52:03.329
There's no way
his real mother would

00:52:04.997 --> 00:52:07.125
forget his age.

00:52:08.709 --> 00:52:10.503
So tell us the truth.

00:52:12.964 --> 00:52:14.465
Who are you?

00:52:16.592 --> 00:52:18.344
What you can't do...

00:52:19.971 --> 00:52:22.515
I gave birth to him.

00:52:25.685 --> 00:52:27.812
So I'm his mother.

00:53:06.225 --> 00:53:07.226
Thanks.

00:53:10.688 --> 00:53:13.691
I heard a rumor... He likes you!

00:53:16.152 --> 00:53:17.403
Him. Takumi.

00:53:20.948 --> 00:53:22.742
He thinks you're cute.

00:53:23.868 --> 00:53:25.077
Why me?

00:53:27.413 --> 00:53:28.539
You're cute!

00:53:29.332 --> 00:53:30.917
Way to go.

00:53:31.042 --> 00:53:32.418
Stop it!

00:53:32.585 --> 00:53:34.045
Takumi likes you!

00:53:41.093 --> 00:53:43.054
The Takumi Aso!

00:54:02.448 --> 00:54:03.699
Hey.

00:54:04.242 --> 00:54:07.203
You want to go out with me?

00:54:18.422 --> 00:54:19.548
Go out?

00:54:20.633 --> 00:54:23.302
What happens if we do that?

00:54:25.846 --> 00:54:30.601
We'll do things.
Like go to movies.

00:54:31.143 --> 00:54:32.144
You know...

00:54:34.981 --> 00:54:35.982
No?

00:54:37.858 --> 00:54:38.901
Well...

00:54:41.028 --> 00:54:42.071
I mean...

00:54:44.365 --> 00:54:45.616
I'm surprised

00:54:50.329 --> 00:54:51.330
but...

00:54:55.459 --> 00:54:56.585
I'm happy.

00:55:00.172 --> 00:55:02.300
So is that a yes?

00:55:05.845 --> 00:55:06.846
Yes.

00:55:10.683 --> 00:55:11.976
Lucky me!

00:55:16.522 --> 00:55:18.441
Get out of here.

00:55:36.834 --> 00:55:39.211
It's hilarious, right?

00:55:42.048 --> 00:55:44.383
Change your password, Hikari.

00:55:45.551 --> 00:55:46.385
Why?

00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:50.181
Mom and Dad try to unlock my phone.

00:55:50.681 --> 00:55:53.684
They tried so many passwords...

00:55:54.977 --> 00:55:56.562
It was disabled!

00:55:57.813 --> 00:56:01.650
Did they apologize?- That won't happen!

00:56:02.735 --> 00:56:06.405
They must be worried that
I'll find out.

00:56:26.634 --> 00:56:28.928
Stop playing around.

00:56:29.428 --> 00:56:33.766
Hikari, if you want to go
to your sister's high school

00:56:34.266 --> 00:56:37.186
you better get serious.

00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:43.275
You agreed to only use
your phone in this room.

00:56:50.866 --> 00:56:53.619
Hikari, put the phone down.

00:57:44.462 --> 00:57:45.754
It's a mess but...

00:57:49.925 --> 00:57:51.302
I'll get drinks.

00:57:53.053 --> 00:57:54.305
Sit anywhere.

00:58:06.692 --> 00:58:07.693
Thanks.

00:58:07.860 --> 00:58:09.653
What's with the tape?

00:58:24.376 --> 00:58:25.669
I got you.

00:58:40.351 --> 00:58:43.145
Whoa! Stop that!

00:58:45.105 --> 00:58:50.236
OK! It'll get easier soon!

00:58:51.403 --> 00:58:53.906
Here we go!

00:58:54.240 --> 00:58:57.243
I can go a little farther!

00:59:03.457 --> 00:59:04.583
Phew!

00:59:06.252 --> 00:59:07.253
I couldn't.

00:59:09.838 --> 00:59:12.675
There you go.- My skirt!

00:59:13.509 --> 00:59:18.931
<i>The one I adore, the one I cherish</i>

00:59:19.098 --> 00:59:24.770
<i>Beautiful one
who I vowed to protect</i>

00:59:24.937 --> 00:59:30.568
<i>Even if my eyes were deprived of light</i>

00:59:30.693 --> 00:59:36.073
<i>I will find you wherever you are</i>

00:59:36.198 --> 00:59:42.037
<i>I will reach you wherever you are</i>

01:00:08.188 --> 01:00:09.940
OK, I got it.

01:00:12.985 --> 01:00:14.069
It twinkles...

01:00:39.511 --> 01:00:40.679
Takumi.

01:00:48.854 --> 01:00:49.855
Hikari.

01:01:28.686 --> 01:01:29.812
I love you.

01:01:34.233 --> 01:01:35.359
Me too.

01:01:37.778 --> 01:01:39.905
More than anyone.

01:01:47.913 --> 01:01:48.914
Good.

01:01:52.167 --> 01:01:54.169
Now we're always together.

01:02:09.268 --> 01:02:12.938
The doctor would like
a word, Mrs. Katakura.

01:02:14.356 --> 01:02:15.441
I'll be back.

01:02:38.964 --> 01:02:41.300
You can come in, Hikari.

01:02:49.892 --> 01:02:51.143
So Hikari...

01:02:53.395 --> 01:02:56.231
Have you had sexual intercourse?

01:02:59.485 --> 01:03:00.486
Yes.

01:03:01.779 --> 01:03:05.783
The ultrasound examination

01:03:07.117 --> 01:03:08.327
revealed a baby.

01:03:10.954 --> 01:03:14.124
See? Here's the face.

01:03:14.458 --> 01:03:16.335
It's hard to see...

01:03:17.461 --> 01:03:19.671
It weighs 600 grams.

01:03:20.088 --> 01:03:24.343
You'll have to think about
what to do from here.

01:03:25.552 --> 01:03:28.806
She hasn't even had a period...!

01:03:29.264 --> 01:03:33.435
Ovulation can occur anyway.

01:03:34.019 --> 01:03:37.689
She's 23 weeks pregnant.

01:03:39.483 --> 01:03:43.862
That's one week too late
for a termination.

01:03:44.238 --> 01:03:46.698
But she's still in 8th grade...

01:03:46.824 --> 01:03:49.993
So as adults we need to
listen to her.

01:03:50.118 --> 01:03:55.624
But it's impossible
no matter how you look at it.

01:03:55.749 --> 01:03:58.669
But the baby is a reality.

01:03:58.794 --> 01:04:01.505
But she's only 14!

01:04:02.881 --> 01:04:06.176
A child can't raise a child!

01:04:21.275 --> 01:04:22.651
I missed you.

01:04:40.127 --> 01:04:41.336
I love you.

01:04:43.005 --> 01:04:44.339
I'm sorry...

01:04:48.677 --> 01:04:50.220
What for?

01:04:50.929 --> 01:04:52.055
I'm sorry.

01:04:55.767 --> 01:04:57.769
Don't apologize.

01:05:01.398 --> 01:05:03.692
You said we'd be together!

01:05:10.657 --> 01:05:11.742
Don't...

01:05:12.993 --> 01:05:15.746
What are you two doing?

01:05:16.955 --> 01:05:20.459
Go back to class now!

01:05:23.962 --> 01:05:24.922
Hurry up!

01:05:25.047 --> 01:05:27.633
You said we'd be together...

01:05:50.489 --> 01:05:53.075
Misaki, can you come here?

01:05:55.661 --> 01:05:56.662
Hikari.

01:05:59.831 --> 01:06:01.792
You have to stop school.

01:06:05.295 --> 01:06:08.173
We'll say that you're in hospital.

01:06:15.013 --> 01:06:20.477
A plenary adoption sounds like
your best option.

01:06:23.397 --> 01:06:24.523
What's that?

01:06:26.108 --> 01:06:27.776
Couples who want kids

01:06:28.986 --> 01:06:33.365
raise the children of mothers
who can't.

01:06:33.532 --> 01:06:37.202
One adoption agency
offers accommodation

01:06:37.369 --> 01:06:40.497
until you give birth.

01:06:40.622 --> 01:06:43.542
So no one would know about it?

01:06:44.126 --> 01:06:45.210
Yes.

01:06:46.211 --> 01:06:47.337
No...

01:06:48.588 --> 01:06:50.007
I won't do it.

01:06:55.220 --> 01:06:56.722
It's not your choice!

01:06:57.055 --> 01:06:58.557
You can't raise it.

01:06:58.724 --> 01:07:00.392
You're still 14.

01:07:01.435 --> 01:07:02.561
But I won't...

01:07:04.021 --> 01:07:05.063
Listen.

01:07:06.064 --> 01:07:09.484
You'll have time to study
for high school.

01:07:10.485 --> 01:07:12.279
The one your sister goes to.

01:07:12.446 --> 01:07:14.614
It'll be good for the baby.

01:07:14.781 --> 01:07:17.492
Yes, you can start over.

01:07:17.659 --> 01:07:19.411
Don't ruin your life.

01:07:21.955 --> 01:07:26.084
This is what Takumi
wants you to do.

01:07:27.252 --> 01:07:28.378
Don't lie...

01:07:33.425 --> 01:07:34.718
He cried...

01:07:38.930 --> 01:07:43.268
I wish the fetus would disappear...

01:09:15.318 --> 01:09:17.195
First time to Hiroshima?

01:09:19.656 --> 01:09:20.657
Yes.

01:09:21.825 --> 01:09:22.951
I see.

01:09:25.203 --> 01:09:31.543
Our place isn't in the city
but on a tiny island.

01:09:34.713 --> 01:09:40.010
Aren't you cold?
You don't want to catch a cold.

01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:14.920
There's an oyster farm...

01:10:20.091 --> 01:10:21.426
You like the sea?

01:10:54.834 --> 01:10:57.796
Welcome to Baby Baton.

01:11:00.966 --> 01:11:06.221
The office, living room
and kitchen are here.

01:11:11.851 --> 01:11:16.898
Sunsets seem similar
but they're different every day.

01:11:23.947 --> 01:11:29.661
I really hope you'll have
an easy labor... so walk a lot.

01:11:31.705 --> 01:11:32.831
Easy labor...

01:11:38.211 --> 01:11:39.587
No one else

01:11:42.173 --> 01:11:43.842
gave me advice.

01:11:46.678 --> 01:11:48.013
You in there, Konomi?

01:11:49.180 --> 01:11:50.640
We're coming in.

01:11:52.517 --> 01:11:56.688
Don't read manga
on your stomach!

01:11:57.480 --> 01:12:00.191
It's not good for the baby.

01:12:04.946 --> 01:12:08.199
Open up! It's nice outside!

01:12:09.326 --> 01:12:11.119
This is your bed.

01:12:12.245 --> 01:12:13.705
Your bag arrived.

01:12:14.247 --> 01:12:15.707
Is she new?

01:12:16.166 --> 01:12:18.626
Yes. Her name is Hikari.

01:12:21.087 --> 01:12:22.881
Hello, Hikari.

01:12:55.288 --> 01:12:57.248
Are you local?

01:13:00.752 --> 01:13:02.754
Where are you from?

01:13:04.381 --> 01:13:05.423
Nara.

01:13:07.175 --> 01:13:08.343
Deer country!

01:13:10.220 --> 01:13:11.513
You laughed!

01:13:15.892 --> 01:13:17.352
I'm from Yokohama.

01:13:18.853 --> 01:13:19.938
Oh...

01:13:21.523 --> 01:13:23.900
I'm originally from Tokushima.

01:13:28.238 --> 01:13:30.615
You know who the father is?

01:13:32.450 --> 01:13:33.451
Yes.

01:13:36.287 --> 01:13:38.415
A customer got me pregnant.

01:13:40.291 --> 01:13:42.752
But I don't know which one.

01:13:45.713 --> 01:13:48.883
That was part of the service
we gave.

01:13:49.968 --> 01:13:52.220
To draw in regulars...

01:13:53.721 --> 01:13:55.265
It's disgusting.

01:14:00.979 --> 01:14:02.647
Keep chopping.

01:14:04.816 --> 01:14:08.319
Like they say, "Dumb as
a green pepper!"

01:14:09.654 --> 01:14:12.574
See? It's completely empty.

01:14:23.001 --> 01:14:25.670
My parents divorced
and remarried.

01:14:26.504 --> 01:14:30.800
They started new families
and I was a nuisance.

01:14:31.968 --> 01:14:33.928
Convenience stores raised me.

01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:46.608
I hate my family so I don't
want to go home either.

01:14:47.442 --> 01:14:50.195
But it got worse for me.

01:14:52.113 --> 01:14:55.200
I worked at night in the
sex business so...

01:14:56.451 --> 01:14:57.535
It's surreal.

01:14:57.827 --> 01:15:03.333
Here I wake up in the mornings
and do my chores with you.

01:15:04.501 --> 01:15:06.044
It feels weird...

01:15:15.011 --> 01:15:16.054
Wanna walk?

01:15:41.704 --> 01:15:44.832
Do you know these?- They're delicious.

01:15:45.500 --> 01:15:47.252
We grill them with salt.

01:15:47.418 --> 01:15:50.713
I have a pumpkin.- I'm microwaving it.

01:15:53.258 --> 01:15:58.596
Today we invited the neighbors for

01:15:59.264 --> 01:16:03.101
a BBQ party!

01:16:03.810 --> 01:16:05.562
Cheers!

01:16:10.608 --> 01:16:14.612
Life at the moment is peaceful.

01:16:15.572 --> 01:16:20.118
I wake up in the morning,
clean the house with everyone

01:16:20.910 --> 01:16:21.953
and sleep.

01:16:22.870 --> 01:16:26.624
<i>When is it due?</i>- In a month.

01:16:28.376 --> 01:16:30.295
<i>You like the father of the baby?</i>

01:16:31.921 --> 01:16:32.922
Yes.

01:16:34.549 --> 01:16:38.219
I love him so much.

01:16:46.227 --> 01:16:49.480
Happy birthday to you!

01:16:51.149 --> 01:16:55.612
Oh, it's her birthday?- Yes, Maho is 20 today.

01:16:55.820 --> 01:16:57.947
You're 20.

01:17:00.325 --> 01:17:01.326
Is it lit?

01:17:03.578 --> 01:17:05.246
Use the newspaper.

01:17:06.539 --> 01:17:07.915
Thank you.

01:17:15.798 --> 01:17:20.261
Don't cry on your birthday!

01:17:21.429 --> 01:17:26.100
Why don't we all sing? Ready?

01:17:42.367 --> 01:17:43.868
Happy birthday!

01:17:49.374 --> 01:17:51.042
Thank you.

01:17:53.211 --> 01:17:56.714
I'm so happy.- You love anything sweet.

01:17:57.882 --> 01:17:59.676
<i>Any comment?</i>

01:18:03.054 --> 01:18:05.723
I'm happy.
I thought cakes like this

01:18:06.849 --> 01:18:09.143
were an urban myth.

01:18:09.727 --> 01:18:11.229
Many girls

01:18:12.230 --> 01:18:16.359
have trouble with their parents.

01:18:17.652 --> 01:18:21.489
None of them could talk to
their parents

01:18:21.823 --> 01:18:25.660
so they arrived here on their own.

01:18:28.204 --> 01:18:33.835
That's why these events are special.
If it gives them a memory

01:18:34.711 --> 01:18:36.504
it will be great.

01:18:37.922 --> 01:18:39.924
This might be my best day ever.

01:18:41.008 --> 01:18:45.555
What if no one celebrates
my birthday ever again?

01:18:47.014 --> 01:18:48.599
The recruiter

01:18:50.101 --> 01:18:55.231
said I was pretty
which no one had ever said.

01:18:58.776 --> 01:19:03.239
I was flattered and ended up
in the sex business.

01:19:07.785 --> 01:19:09.787
I saw a TV program.

01:19:15.710 --> 01:19:20.465
There are people who can't
make babies and they...

01:19:28.890 --> 01:19:31.559
They get to be with our babies.

01:19:33.186 --> 01:19:36.773
Sometimes I feel that
it's so unfair...

01:19:37.523 --> 01:19:42.153
But because of them
this system exists...

01:19:43.362 --> 01:19:47.742
I don't know why I should
be jealous of them but...

01:19:51.829 --> 01:19:53.998
<i>You can't raise it?</i>

01:19:57.668 --> 01:19:58.961
No, I can't.

01:20:09.138 --> 01:20:12.016
<i>Are they going to the hospital today?</i>

01:20:12.183 --> 01:20:17.313
Yes, both Konomi and Maho
go at the same time.

01:20:17.730 --> 01:20:20.191
Two less girls.- I'll be lonely!

01:20:21.192 --> 01:20:23.486
Be strong.- See you, guys.

01:20:30.701 --> 01:20:34.038
I can't go. You're holding me.

01:20:34.789 --> 01:20:35.873
You'll be OK.

01:20:37.208 --> 01:20:39.836
It's just you.- I'll manage.

01:21:10.408 --> 01:21:16.247
<i>The one I adore, the one I cherish</i>

01:21:17.331 --> 01:21:22.420
<i>Beautiful one
who I vowed to protect</i>

01:21:25.298 --> 01:21:30.845
<i>Even if my eyes were deprived of light</i>

01:21:34.599 --> 01:21:40.897
<i>I will find you wherever you are</i>

01:21:44.775 --> 01:21:50.781
<i>I will reach you wherever you are</i>

01:21:51.908 --> 01:21:53.200
Beautiful, isn't it?

01:21:55.369 --> 01:21:56.537
Little one.

01:21:59.540 --> 01:22:04.211
I'll never forget that we watched
the sunset together.

01:23:44.353 --> 01:23:45.646
Hi, Little one.

01:24:21.515 --> 01:24:25.352
I can't stop thinking about her...

01:24:26.562 --> 01:24:28.439
Who was that girl?

01:24:35.946 --> 01:24:40.534
You know, the Hikari Katakura we met

01:24:40.993 --> 01:24:43.287
wouldn't have...

01:24:46.457 --> 01:24:47.917
demanded money.

01:24:49.627 --> 01:24:50.920
You're right.

01:24:53.047 --> 01:24:54.423
Mom...

01:24:56.008 --> 01:24:57.134
Sleep talking?

01:25:00.805 --> 01:25:01.806
Yes.

01:25:07.645 --> 01:25:08.646
Here?

01:25:10.981 --> 01:25:13.651
Was I in Mommy here?

01:25:18.781 --> 01:25:19.907
No.

01:25:22.993 --> 01:25:25.454
Was it the Hiroshima mommy?

01:25:26.247 --> 01:25:27.414
You remember her!

01:25:31.377 --> 01:25:35.923
Do you know what Hiroshima is like?

01:25:43.139 --> 01:25:46.475
It's by the sparkling sea.

01:25:49.436 --> 01:25:51.272
The sea? Like that?

01:25:52.398 --> 01:25:57.278
That's right.
It's connected to her sea.

01:25:58.362 --> 01:26:01.991
Did you know that
there's only one sea?

01:26:02.116 --> 01:26:08.038
You're right.
So this sea and the sea in Hiroshima

01:26:08.664 --> 01:26:11.667
are definitely connected.

01:26:14.753 --> 01:26:16.130
Imagine that!

01:26:33.355 --> 01:26:34.398
Yes?

01:26:35.232 --> 01:26:40.863
<i>Police. We're from the Kanagawa
precinct and we'd like to talk.</i>

01:26:41.405 --> 01:26:42.406
Sure.

01:26:49.121 --> 01:26:51.373
I'm Detective Mishima.

01:26:52.958 --> 01:26:55.419
Do you recognize her?

01:27:03.469 --> 01:27:04.511
Well...

01:27:06.305 --> 01:27:10.267
Yes, she came here.

01:27:15.272 --> 01:27:17.274
Who is she?

01:27:24.448 --> 01:27:25.449
Asato?

01:27:31.121 --> 01:27:33.290
Why are you home, Dad?

01:27:33.916 --> 01:27:37.127
I had to come home for something.
I'll go back.

01:27:37.294 --> 01:27:38.796
Hi!

01:27:39.505 --> 01:27:40.547
The ocean...

01:27:43.217 --> 01:27:44.260
And a boat.

01:27:57.982 --> 01:27:59.108
Who's that?

01:28:00.109 --> 01:28:01.318
It was no one.

01:28:01.443 --> 01:28:04.905
I heard the door slam.

01:28:05.572 --> 01:28:06.657
It's the wind.

01:28:43.736 --> 01:28:48.032
Do you understand you're going back
to school next month?

01:28:51.618 --> 01:28:52.703
Take it easy.

01:28:53.704 --> 01:28:58.292
She can't! The entrance exams
are soon!

01:28:59.585 --> 01:29:04.715
Hikari, you have pneumonia...
That's why you're off school.

01:29:05.883 --> 01:29:08.719
Tell people that, if they ask.

01:29:13.891 --> 01:29:14.892
Hikari?

01:29:16.185 --> 01:29:18.145
Answer me, you hear?

01:29:20.564 --> 01:29:22.399
Answer your mother!

01:29:32.451 --> 01:29:34.912
You don't know what we went through.

01:29:39.249 --> 01:29:40.751
Don't look at me like that.

01:30:44.148 --> 01:30:45.482
How childish...

01:31:21.852 --> 01:31:25.355
At this age you'll keep getting taller.

01:31:25.689 --> 01:31:28.442
How tall are you?- 170 cm.

01:31:28.567 --> 01:31:31.320
So tall! You'll get even taller.

01:31:31.445 --> 01:31:33.197
But I'm 168.

01:31:35.324 --> 01:31:39.203
So he didn't get your DNA!

01:31:39.369 --> 01:31:42.331
He's going through a growth spurt.

01:31:42.831 --> 01:31:44.708
So early!

01:31:44.875 --> 01:31:47.669
Maybe it's what he eats?

01:31:48.086 --> 01:31:52.299
Kids nowadays are tall.- With long legs!

01:31:52.424 --> 01:31:53.800
How come?

01:31:54.676 --> 01:31:56.053
It's strange.

01:31:56.220 --> 01:32:00.516
Hikari, don't use your phone
on a family occasion.

01:32:01.725 --> 01:32:03.060
We're talking.

01:32:04.228 --> 01:32:05.354
And Misaki...

01:32:05.479 --> 01:32:08.899
How's university life?
Are you in a club?

01:32:09.066 --> 01:32:11.860
I major in international relations.

01:32:11.985 --> 01:32:13.570
Cool.

01:32:13.737 --> 01:32:15.405
She might go abroad.

01:32:15.572 --> 01:32:17.074
In English?- Yes.

01:32:17.241 --> 01:32:19.576
I speak Osaka English!

01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:31.922
You're so quiet.

01:32:40.264 --> 01:32:42.099
I heard what happened.

01:32:43.267 --> 01:32:45.102
Stupid business...

01:32:50.816 --> 01:32:51.775
Hey!

01:32:52.192 --> 01:32:54.945
Stop that! Calm down, Hikari!

01:32:55.654 --> 01:32:56.947
That hurts!

01:33:00.367 --> 01:33:03.287
You told them!- They're family!

01:33:03.453 --> 01:33:05.539
We're all worried about you!

01:33:05.664 --> 01:33:11.128
You're not worried about me, liar!
You're gross!

01:33:12.379 --> 01:33:13.255
Hikari!

01:35:05.742 --> 01:35:07.703
Hikari...!

01:35:11.581 --> 01:35:14.876
Could you let me work here please?

01:35:16.211 --> 01:35:20.507
I'll do anything.
I'll clean or wash clothes...

01:35:21.758 --> 01:35:23.760
Show me how and I'll do it.

01:35:26.680 --> 01:35:29.933
Please let me work here.

01:35:38.442 --> 01:35:40.026
You had a hard time.

01:35:51.830 --> 01:35:54.207
I wondered about you.

01:35:58.462 --> 01:36:01.965
We have to think about
your future.

01:36:07.262 --> 01:36:08.805
Actually

Baby Baton will close this year.

01:36:22.986 --> 01:36:24.279
So...

01:36:25.447 --> 01:36:31.495
I can't let you stay here for so long.

01:36:41.379 --> 01:36:42.672
I see.

01:36:46.802 --> 01:36:51.264
I guess she'll be the last mother
we'll look after.

01:36:57.604 --> 01:36:58.772
Sara.

01:37:01.316 --> 01:37:04.110
This is Hikari.
She used to live here.

01:37:13.620 --> 01:37:14.788
I'm sorry.

01:37:20.335 --> 01:37:21.545
How was it?

01:37:25.131 --> 01:37:26.174
What?

01:37:27.217 --> 01:37:30.804
Your baby. Was it cute?

01:37:33.431 --> 01:37:36.017
I don't feel love for my baby.

01:37:37.561 --> 01:37:39.855
I wouldn't want to hold it.

01:37:59.207 --> 01:38:04.087
Sara Okada is having contractions.
Can you see her?

01:38:06.047 --> 01:38:08.508
We'll be right there.

01:38:09.593 --> 01:38:11.553
Thank you.

01:38:14.931 --> 01:38:18.518
OK. Thank you.

01:38:26.735 --> 01:38:30.280
Can you put it in my room?

01:38:31.281 --> 01:38:34.200
OK, off we go.- See you.

Why you want to know that now?

01:40:23.393 --> 01:40:25.562
Maybe I was chosen for it.

01:40:32.569 --> 01:40:33.820

01:40:36.990 --> 01:40:38.992
it is so important.

I couldn't have kids.

01:41:08.813 --> 01:41:14.611
I was a nurse and I met
many mothers who faced difficulties.

01:41:15.737 --> 01:41:19.866
It made me hope for a
better life for the babies.

01:41:20.450 --> 01:41:24.037
I guess that's how I got started.

01:41:27.957 --> 01:41:29.292

But I've had all the girls
staying here.

They're all like my daughters.

01:41:38.093 --> 01:41:43.139
I feel like I had many children.
It's been fulfilling.

01:44:20.880 --> 01:44:24.968
Meters!- You learned about meters?

01:44:28.346 --> 01:44:32.058
1 meter is 100 centimeters.

01:44:32.183 --> 01:44:33.226
Very good!

I can't think of when I last
touched a newspaper.

01:46:44.941 --> 01:46:46.275
You staying?

01:46:47.735 --> 01:46:49.404
I've got nowhere to go.

01:46:49.987 --> 01:46:51.114

No, there isn't.

01:47:39.203 --> 01:47:42.165
You also seem mature.

01:47:42.582 --> 01:47:45.668
Probably because you left home
so young.

01:47:47.170 --> 01:47:48.629
I admire that.

01:47:50.173 --> 01:47:54.635
Tomoka, you remind me of
one of my old friends.

01:47:55.303 --> 01:47:58.347
She was cool. Her name was Konomi.

01:47:59.098 --> 01:48:00.183
Konomi?

01:48:00.933 --> 01:48:02.310

01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:19.202
I'm invincible when I wear this.

01:48:26.918 --> 01:48:28.211
You can't have it.

01:48:29.337 --> 01:48:31.547
It wouldn't suit me anyway.

01:48:37.094 --> 01:48:38.054
Hikari.

01:48:40.848 --> 01:48:45.019
A thicker eyeliner would
be cool on you.

01:48:48.397 --> 01:48:49.398
This way.

01:48:58.574 --> 01:49:00.826
It tickles.- Keep still.

01:49:02.286 --> 01:49:03.913
And one more...

01:49:04.580 --> 01:49:07.083
You have long lashes.- Do I?

01:49:09.126 --> 01:49:10.169
Well?

01:49:11.170 --> 01:49:14.590
I like it.- Of course. Because I did it.

01:49:16.092 --> 01:49:17.260
What's that?

01:49:17.718 --> 01:49:22.557
This shows the order
of the houses you deliver to.

01:49:22.974 --> 01:49:27.520
Pass the crossing
and it's the 2nd house on the left.

01:49:30.940 --> 01:49:31.941
Hikari.

01:49:32.608 --> 01:49:35.111
I don't use this anymore.

01:49:36.737 --> 01:49:40.616
I have a new one
so you can have it.

01:49:41.450 --> 01:49:42.410
And this.

01:49:51.127 --> 01:49:53.546

Where's my <i>dorayaki</i>? Off I go!

It's safe by 2 days.

01:50:07.643 --> 01:50:10.146

01:50:12.189 --> 01:50:13.316

01:50:31.584 --> 01:50:32.627
Your phone.

01:50:37.965 --> 01:50:40.593
Won't you answer?- It's OK.

01:50:42.511 --> 01:50:43.846
I'm with you.

01:50:44.013 --> 01:50:45.598
Is it OK?- Sure.

01:50:53.356 --> 01:50:54.357
You know...

01:50:59.028 --> 01:51:00.863
I have a kid.

01:51:05.368 --> 01:51:09.497
He lives somewhere in this area.

01:51:13.334 --> 01:51:14.543
You want to see him?

01:51:26.514 --> 01:51:28.057

Yes, I am.

01:52:32.288 --> 01:52:33.748
I didn't sign this.

Yanagihara's your friend, right?
You signed it.

Tomoka...?

01:52:46.469 --> 01:52:49.638
You co-signed her loan.

01:52:50.139 --> 01:52:52.933

Bye now.

01:53:17.041 --> 01:53:20.753
What was that?
Should I call the police?

01:53:59.500 --> 01:54:02.503
What else could I do...?

01:54:07.716 --> 01:54:08.968
Come inside.

01:54:12.346 --> 01:54:13.472

I don't remember.

01:54:37.621 --> 01:54:40.833

01:54:45.963 --> 01:54:47.256
Come inside.

01:54:51.927 --> 01:54:53.929

01:58:00.616 --> 01:58:03.368
I must say, I'm worried about you.

01:58:04.203 --> 01:58:10.125
If something's bothering you
it's better to let it out.

01:58:12.544 --> 01:58:15.923
Let me tell you about
my own experience.

01:58:19.301 --> 01:58:21.428
I lived with my girlfriend...

01:58:24.264 --> 01:58:25.808
She killed herself.

01:58:27.518 --> 01:58:31.814
I had no idea that anything
was wrong...

01:58:32.648 --> 01:58:34.983
She jumped off a building.

01:58:38.654 --> 01:58:41.990
She never spoke about any troubles.

01:58:43.367 --> 01:58:45.744
You have to tell someone.

01:58:47.246 --> 01:58:51.416
Tell someone if things are
getting to you.

01:58:55.087 --> 01:58:56.130
Sorry...

01:59:01.426 --> 01:59:04.972
Never mind all that. I just...

01:59:05.556 --> 01:59:07.015
I'm a bit worried.

01:59:10.269 --> 01:59:14.356
I just wanted to let you know
that I'm worried.

01:59:22.990 --> 01:59:24.032
I'm impressed.

01:59:25.450 --> 01:59:27.286
How did you make this?

01:59:31.874 --> 01:59:33.167
I borrowed it.

01:59:35.335 --> 01:59:36.628
You didn't steal it?

01:59:39.423 --> 01:59:40.340
No.

01:59:42.301 --> 01:59:43.719
Whatever.

01:59:45.429 --> 01:59:46.221
Let's go.

01:59:48.307 --> 01:59:50.058
Why me...?

01:59:52.019 --> 01:59:53.562
'Coz you're stupid.

01:59:55.689 --> 02:00:00.694
Shit happens but this is over
for you, right?

02:00:03.447 --> 02:00:05.032
It's not over!

02:00:09.077 --> 02:00:11.038
Don't glare at me!

02:00:12.456 --> 02:00:13.582
Creepy...

02:00:43.070 --> 02:00:45.530
Is this the Kuriharas?

02:00:50.869 --> 02:00:52.287
<i>Who is this?</i>

02:01:25.279 --> 02:01:27.823
"Asato"

02:01:30.075 --> 02:01:31.827
"Me and Mom"

02:01:34.162 --> 02:01:35.289
I am her.

02:01:42.212 --> 02:01:44.756
I might look a little different but

02:01:46.341 --> 02:01:48.176
I'm Hikari Katakura.

02:01:50.095 --> 02:01:53.849
I'm... his mother.

02:01:57.311 --> 02:02:01.273
Asato refers to her
as <i>Hiroshima mommy.</i>

02:02:02.024 --> 02:02:03.859
His birth mother.

02:02:05.235 --> 02:02:08.196
Around the time he turned two

02:02:08.822 --> 02:02:16.288
I told him that he had another mother
who raised him in her tummy.

02:02:17.372 --> 02:02:18.665
So he knows.

02:02:25.047 --> 02:02:28.216
"From your mother"

02:02:28.383 --> 02:02:32.721
His Hiroshima mommy gave me this
to give Asato.

02:02:37.517 --> 02:02:42.356
2 years ago I read it to him
for the first time.

02:02:45.108 --> 02:02:48.153
I will read it every year

02:02:49.654 --> 02:02:51.823
until he can understand.

02:02:53.742 --> 02:02:57.746
Until he understands what it means.

02:03:10.092 --> 02:03:14.096
This is very important to us.

02:03:17.599 --> 02:03:21.269
We're raising him with Hikari.

02:03:22.604 --> 02:03:25.732
She gave birth to Asato

02:03:27.734 --> 02:03:30.570
and we're nurturing him.

02:03:35.951 --> 02:03:37.411
You have no right

02:03:39.788 --> 02:03:41.248
coming here...

02:03:51.675 --> 02:03:53.135
<i>I'm home!</i>

02:03:54.886 --> 02:03:58.640
<i>Kurihara-san, are you home?</i>

02:03:59.850 --> 02:04:03.228
<i>I brought him upstairs for you!</i>

02:04:06.314 --> 02:04:10.110
What will you do? It's Asato.

02:04:11.486 --> 02:04:12.737
He's home.

02:04:16.408 --> 02:04:17.659
What do you want?

02:04:19.995 --> 02:04:21.496
<i>Mom!</i>

02:04:31.506 --> 02:04:32.966
<i>Mom!</i>

02:04:35.844 --> 02:04:40.140
<i>She isn't home.
You want to come to our place?</i>

02:04:40.765 --> 02:04:42.017
<i>We can play!</i>

02:04:57.199 --> 02:04:58.325
I...

02:05:09.920 --> 02:05:12.047
Forgive me.

02:05:15.008 --> 02:05:16.635
You're right about me.

02:05:21.890 --> 02:05:23.016
I'm...

02:05:26.978 --> 02:05:29.231
I'm not his mother.

02:05:34.611 --> 02:05:35.904
Please leave.

02:05:43.495 --> 02:05:44.538
Good.

02:05:45.455 --> 02:05:47.582
Why are you home, Dad?

02:05:48.416 --> 02:05:52.212
I had to come home for something.
I'll go back.

02:05:56.925 --> 02:05:58.051
Little one.

02:07:04.367 --> 02:07:06.494
I'm Detective Mishima.

02:07:07.329 --> 02:07:10.081
Do you recognize her?

02:07:13.001 --> 02:07:15.003
Who is she?

02:07:17.172 --> 02:07:19.174
She's Hikari Katakura.

02:07:23.470 --> 02:07:28.308
Her boss reported her missing
so we're trying to find her.

02:07:34.272 --> 02:07:35.273
Mrs. Kurihara.

02:07:36.900 --> 02:07:38.026
Ma'am?

02:07:43.657 --> 02:07:48.495
Do you know her?
Would you know her whereabouts?

02:07:54.167 --> 02:07:58.129
I'm sorry, I don't understand
any of this but...

02:08:01.341 --> 02:08:02.342
I just...

02:08:07.389 --> 02:08:08.515
I...

02:08:11.101 --> 02:08:12.894
I know her.

02:08:41.381 --> 02:08:42.507
Look after him.

02:08:45.927 --> 02:08:47.053
I'm sorry.

02:08:54.269 --> 02:08:55.729
Thank you so much.

02:09:20.211 --> 02:09:21.546
"From your mother"

02:09:31.014 --> 02:09:33.224
"Dear Little one,"

02:09:37.687 --> 02:09:41.941
"I'm sorry I can't live with you
but I won't forget you."

02:09:42.066 --> 02:09:46.404
"Wherever I am, I'll wonder about you
and how old you are."

02:09:46.529 --> 02:09:50.116
"Wishing you a happy life,
Hikari Katakura"

02:10:15.141 --> 02:10:22.190
"Please don't erase me."

02:11:59.537 --> 02:12:00.914
I found you.

02:12:08.129 --> 02:12:09.464
I'm sorry.

02:12:12.467 --> 02:12:13.968
I'm sorry...

02:12:19.766 --> 02:12:21.935
I should have recognized you.

02:12:25.813 --> 02:12:26.814
I'm sorry.

02:12:27.440 --> 02:12:30.485
Why are you sorry?

02:12:40.620 --> 02:12:41.663
Asato.

02:12:47.961 --> 02:12:49.170
This is your...

02:12:52.548 --> 02:12:53.925
Hiroshima mommy.
