"Are you in, sir?"
When you hear the buzzer, come upstairs and check
She can't talk, but mostly she understands
I see
Let her pee and shit into this pan
She pees 2 or 3 times a day
She shits about once
I see
You gotta help her eat She can't feed herself
This lady's going to look after you, now
You do what she says, got that?
Maybe she doesn't like me
Who gives a shit
Worm,
snake,
little brother of a snake,
big snake
Stinky
Don't they have any gas here?
For tomorrow's groceries
40 Yen? For a day's groceries?
Got a problem?
Make her play outside
Yukiko
Maggots, Mom
Go buy some candy at that candy store
Maggots...
Go buy some
Strip
I said, strip!
I left you some money
Thank you
How about a "thank you"?
Thank you
I'm going
"Brother, I'm going"
My stomach's been bothering me lately
Go see a doctor
It's just my age
I tire so easily these days
You can leave him and come home
You've got Chyanmyan
Say goodbye
Listen, he tricked me into moving in
He said he'd marry me after you died...
He's got a wife, across the alley. She's nowhere near dead
What a joke
She won't eat, no matter what I try
Try to make her eat again
God, it's exhausting
You don't like it, get the hell out
As of today, I'm a Poet of the North
Masao
each of us is a single-line poem
This moment is a poem
Write poems, poems
I'll write you as soon as I get there
Chyanmyan
Brother, wait for me!
I'll see you soon,
"in the Republic of Korea"
I'll be waiting!
"Kim Il Sung, mansei"
"People's Republic of Korea, mansei!"
I didn't go home to the Republic
Perhaps, more accurately, I never went
He never sent me a single letter from that Earthly Paradise
and I eventually lost all contact,
with our Poet of the North
What the hell!
How did she crawl to the stairs?
Oh, I'm so scared
Bet she fell down the stairs on purpose
Bet she wants to die and get me blamed, I'm so scared
Shut the fuck up
Let me play
No, go away
You've go the apples and the bananas reversed
Red's in the east, white's in the west This is wrong, too
And that snapper's backwards, too
The head faces east, tail faces west
Get with it, you're the eldest son
Please, act the part
Take this, please
Masao, it's about time to go get your father
We're about ready to start
I gave her some peace
You can't tell anyone
You keep your mouth shut
He's a murderer
That man's a murderer
You can't... send your father to prison
Sooner or later, Kiyoko san was bound to die
That's no excuse for murder! I watched him murder her!
Just keep your mouth shut!
Masao,
you're the eldest son. You get the family inheritance
I don't want money!
That money belongs to us! We can't let some Japanese girl have it!
Masao!
You won't talk, will you? You keep your month shut, go that?
Masao!
What's this?
Wow, open this. Not that
Look at this, it's a skirt
It's so cute
Mommy I'll wear this
Yuki, try this one on It'll look good on you
Look, it's tight on me
Hey, don't touch it
Get off!
Keep your hands off
Hey, money-man, you home?
Against principal of 3,000,000, borrower shall pay 270,000 Yen,
on the 25th of each month, as interest
In the event of delayed or unpaid interest payments
borrower shall be subject to a 540,000 Yen penalty
"Welcome"
I explained it all on the phone Can't you come home?
I can't
Leave it be, brother Shingi
I'll take care of myself. Leave me be
You're Kim Shunpei's son You've got nowhere to run
What are you, my Dad's shadow?
Your Dad and I...
Run back to my mother you love so much
What are you saying? You've got it all wrong
Bet you want him dead, more than all of us
Some things, you just can't say, Masao
Oh, is that so?
Please...
Masao
"Oh, God"
The doctor says radiation would eliminate some of the cancer
But she won't recover, right?
She's gonna die anyway, why waste money?
Can't you even take care of her, at the end?
I don't give a fuck if she lives or dies
But she's your wife
Who the fuck you think you're talking to?
Please cover her treatment
I don't give a shit
If it's money you need, you can work like a dog, like I do
You made it by yourself?
After working us all to death, you keep everything for yourself!
You won't pay for her treatment!
Shut the fuck up, you moron!
Die! Bastard!
Outta the way!
Asshole! I'll kill you!
Get the fuck out here! I'll crush you!
I'll crush you to death!
That's the fighting spirit!
"You bastard!"
Get back here! Fight!
Try jumping! Break your leg! Moron! Trash!
Fucking idiot!
Be strong, be strong
You're almost there
Be strong, I can see its head
I can see the head
A boy! A girl!
Got quite a little weenie on him
That's all he's good for, that lunatic!
How many kids he gonna make at his age! Shameless!
There's a curse on your whole family
Cursed penises
You've got bad blood in you
Hey
When's that idiot Masao gonna pay back my money?
I don't know
Didn't you ask him, you moron!
I lent it to him 'cause he's your brother
Grovels when he needs money, but not a word since!
Just a dumb high school grad!
Please talk to Masao
Please talk to Masao?
You got that wrong
Isn't he your brother!
Get up, bitch
Get up, bitch. Get up
Would you lend me money to rent an apartment?
That's a bad idea
Even if I can't sew dresses, I can at least do piece work
Buy Maki some toys and get back home
You're starting to be just like Dad
Maybe our family blood is bad
Listen, sister. It's a tough world out there
You're best off going home
So he beat you up It's nothing compared to Dad
Ever since you were a kid, you were always threatening to die
God, you're annoying
Why don't you die already, if you can
Masao, the second floor!
Put a lid on it
I'm sending Hanako off in style Shut up
It's time you paid attention to your guests
Can't you show any sympathy?
With Hanako gone, I'll have to raise my kid alone
You're the one who drove her to this
Masao, your debts were a real burden to her
My sister was planning to divorce you!
That's enough!
"Father-in-law"
"It's been so long"
I would have come to meet you
Who the fuck are you?
"I'm Hyubon, Hanako's husband"
Hanako
Hanako, your father's here... Hanako
Say something, Hanako Say something, Hanako
Where's my daughter?
Father-in-law, get hold of your senses, she's right in front of you
Where?
Where is she?
Where?
Let me see my daughter
That's enough. If you wanna pick a stupid fight, you'll have to go
Where the hell is she!
You outta your mind! Your blood's spoiled
Please, stop!
Where's my daughter!
"Wife"
I can't get up
My leg's... numb...
I can't get up
Go up and die
Die
Where'd you put the money?
Who knows when you'll have another attack
I'm keeping the money for you Don't you worry
Making a fool outta me, thief!
Your money belongs to us
Peace!
Peace! Peace! He'll die
You, "almost-died" Don't you fuck with me
That felt good
Listen,
you pay me back before your factory goes under
Otherwise, I'll kill you
What are you, threatening me?
I've paid you back at high interest rates for years
Quit muttering or else
This note's worth 5 million
This one's worth 4.5 million
Add the 500,000 commission, for a total of 10 million Yen
Hand him over
I'll throw in the land at Tezukayama
That pussy-drunk Oyama's keeping a girl there
Yoshio,
I've still got a mountain of riches
You do a good job, you hear?
Boss, who is that guy?
A freak
It's me! Oyama!
Where the hell are you!
What the hell's going on, moneylender!
Yakuza burst into my place with the notes and deed I gave you
Give up
Once you get involved with the yakuza, you're screwed
You're the one that broke your promise, asshole!
You sold me out to the yakuza, you bastard!
Better get home and raise that money
You'll find a watery grave
Doesn't this room stink?
You don't have to come so often, Shingi
Nothing better to do
I'm embarrassed, too
All black, from the radiation...
Should I call him over?
Don't bother
I'm sorry for your loss
Deliver my soy sauce
I'd better go get him
"Brother,"
this is fun
Shut up and eat
Listen, I'm willing to assume those debts
you've left all over the place
Isn't that great, Masao? Your father's looking out for you
Brother Shingi, sorry, but he's bad for my business
He came all the way to visit you Can't you at least listen to him?
Feel free
You'll work as my collections man
Work like a dog and pay off your debts
Isn't it time you let Masao take over your business?
Leave things to him and take over your business?
Don't you agree that's for the best?
Hand my money over to him? No way
You don't even trust your own son?
No way, no way, you do exactly as I say,
while I'm still alive and kicking
My money belongs to me I won't let him touch it
This is just a bunch of crap It's time you got going
You're the only one, Masao
You've always done whatever the fuck you want,
just keep doing that 'til you die
Masao!
Enough
You're...
You're Kim Shunpei's son
That was the last I saw of my father
According to Brother Shingi, after that,
my father took Ryuichi,
the son he had with Sadako,
and moved to North Korea
Five German duo-tone automated plate-makers,
5 cars, 5 two-ton trucks
100 Seiko watches, clothes, shoes
70 million Japanese Yen
He donated the entire fortune he'd hoarded to North Korea,
and went across the sea
Mom! Dad's a kidnapper!
In any case, until the bitter end,
my father lived for no one's pleasure
but his own
"There's Osaka!"
"You can see Osaka!"
