- I'm getting wet. - Don't complain.
Hurry up already.
Sorry to make you wait.
Watch out!!
Brother! Brother!
Brother!
Brother...
Amb... Ambulance! Brother!
Ambulance!
I'm OK!
Ambulance!
It's OK...
It's OK.
Listen,
don't tell anyone.
You got it?
Brother.
I'm fine.
Brother...
Brother!
A Million Stars Falling From The Sky
Episode 5
Thank you, thank you.
Pretty nice, huh,
this way?
But painful...
So?
What really happened?
Well...
I got drunk...
and scraped it against the wall.
I had a bad fall
and scraped it like this...
Hey!
You were stabbed by a woman, weren't you?
Huh...
You idiot...
that wasn't what happened.
You idiot...
I'm kidding!
Ouch...
Ouch!
Not being able to see you,
days of sadness follow one another.
No...
rather than sadness,
I should say pain.
Living like this,
my tears gush out
without end.
I've already
prepared myself
to give up everything.
Family...
parents...
I'm prepared to give them up.
Now,
only you exist
in my heart...
["To Ryo"]
Here you are.
Welcome.
What should we choose?
How about this?
What?
You came to arrest me, right?
Why don't we sit a while?
How old are you?
19.
It begins from here.
>From here?
There's still a long way to go, to be a criminal.
And you're a girl...
So you're shielding me?
I don't know.
Before I knew it,
I had already done it.
I have a sister, you know.
Maybe, you reminded me of her.
Even though she's almost 30,
she's still unmarried.
That idiot...
You...
You wanted to kill my sister?
Why?
I don't want to say.
That fellow called Ryo?
If so,
you don't have to worry.
My sister
is dating with her blind date now.
Please!
Promise me!!
Don't do anything to my sister.
Promise me!
I'll let you off.
But from now on...
don't do anything to my sister.
Could you promise me that?
Please!!
No?
I was just thinking how nice...
how nice to have a brother like this.
Don't you have any siblings?
None.
I'm not clever.
In a class of 40 people,
I was always the first or second person from the last.
My father is a doctor,
and everyone else in my family is smart.
I'm a dropout...
and I'm in the way.
So I have no one...
Is that so?
If you don't mind,
you can come chat with me anytime you want.
I can listen to what you want to say.
But I'll just listen,
because I can't do anything.
Treat me as a friend
and pour your problems out.
I promise you.
I won't do anything to your sister.
I promise.
Thank you.
It hurts here.
This one too...
Please share your girls with me like this.
Oh, good morning.
What is it?
What?
I'm going back.
I'm going,
I'll come again in the evening.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
I heard from the aunty at Tanuki to come here.
Oh, right!
Could you tell Miwa-chan something?
Tell her to stop thinking
about abandoning her family.
In her last letter, she wrote about that.
She's too emotional.
Why?
Don't you want her to leave her home?
Because you're eyeing her family's fortune?
What's that mean?
You got close to Miwa so you could cheat her?
No...
Because I love her.
You're lying.
You know,
if that's true,
why don't you write her back?
I'm not good at writing letters.
Casually asking me to deliver
such an important message... It's strange.
It's not business correspondence.
Business correspondence...
That's good...
You're tossing around people's feelings
like they're vegetables...
Then I'll give those feelings back.
Which one?
This one, the red one?
Does it make you happy...
to play around with people's feelings?
You verify your own existence
only by hurting people, right?
What's that mean?
Haven't you thought of being loved by others?
Nobody
really loves you.
What was that?
If you don't love,
you can't be loved.
If you don't open your heart,
people won't open their hearts.
You don't need those things to live.
Then what do you need?
Money?
Money, right?
Old-fashioned!
Are you trying to start a fight?
I won't tell Miwa.
She's so serious.
I won't tell her
that irresponsible reply of yours.
Nice going, Miwa-san.
I'm sorry, I booked the entire place.
What are you saying?
My family owns this shooting range.
Isn't that right?
Master Naoya, there's a call for you.
- Excuse me. - OK.
Miwa.
Father.
That's great,
you're pretty energetic.
Father,
I seem to have fallen ill
completely awake.
But I wonder...
why was my soul stolen by that man?
It's broken, the dish Ryo gave me.
You know,
I...
stabbed that girl Yuko...
the other day.
Really?
Because...
you seemed to be such good friends.
Different from the way you look at me.
With gentler eyes.
Like you're hearing her talk with your eyes.
It made me angry.
It's OK,
I failed.
But I hurt her brother a little.
You stabbed her policeman brother?
It wasn't such a big thing.
He helped me keep it a secret.
Were you shocked?
Did your heart skip a beat?
I won't do it again.
Ryo, if you don't leave me...
I'm leaving.
Tomorrow, I've taking a drive with Kashiwagi-san.
So...
wake me up at 8 o'clock, OK, Kayo-san?
I'll do that.
What are you plotting?
You can't trick me.
Kayo-san...
You and that man
are bound by strong ties, aren't you?
But...
I can't touch his heart...
It makes me feel...
uneasy.
It seems that he's seeing several women,
not just the Princess of Nishihara.
He's serious in work,
but...
strangely,
up till now,
he hasn't invited a single person to his house.
Thank you.
Hey...
Wait...
Wait a minute.
Oh, no...
Don't tell me you're underage?
Is that so?
Aunty, I'm sorry.
Some tea.
- All right. - I'm sorry.
I apologize.
Why?
Why...
Because Ryo seemed to be so happy.
Going to the ramen restaurant together...
riding a bike together...
But...
it wasn't more than that.
I heard that from your brother.
Is that so?
I won't do that again.
I promised your brother.
Really?
The tea is here.
Please eat this while waiting.
Thank you. Here...
What did you talk about?
With Ryo...
Hmm... what did we talk about...?
Well,
about not having parents
and the fire accident in childhood.
Ryo had a fire accident before?
No, no,
it was me...
I was once in a fire accident when I was young.
At that time,
I was burnt.
Those type of things...
Burn mark?
It's not a serious burn mark.
Burn...
Maybe it is serious.
But because I'm used to it, I don't realize it.
Vegetable hotpot,
sorry to keep you waiting.
An unusual pair, aren't you?
It's hot, be careful.
This is delicious.
Let's eat together.
That's hot.
Could you let me see it?
The burn mark.
OK.
It doesn't hurt anymore.
Excuse me a moment.
Hello.
What are you doing?!
Kan-chan! This way!
Yuko-chan!
Brother!
I brought Kotoko along.
Is she OK?
I'm sorry.
I didn't know who to contact.
Is she all right?
Are you her family?
- Yes. - No.
Yes.
She's in the Emergency Room now.
It's nothing serious.
But emotionally, it's pretty intense.
Let me go!
Let go of me!
Why do you want to treat me?!
I want this burn mark to stay!
Calm down,
please stay calm.
Don't come in!
Calm down.
Let me go.
Let me go!
Excuse me.
Let me go...
It's all right...
I'm in pain...
Don't say anymore...
Yuko-chan...
At a time like this,
just holding someone helps them feel better.
People feel better through touch.
I see.
Kan-chan is kind,
so he can help someone feel at ease.
He doesn't listen with his head.
It's like he can read people's feelings...
more like sensing rather than reasoning.
That's why he's an excellent detective.
That's why...
he's attractive.
So...
let's go have a drink.
Shall we?
The prescription will be ready in a while.
Please wait for a little more.
Why did you have to do this?
It was hot, right?
You want to be like Ryo?
Are you afraid?
Am I scary?
What?
You think I'm a dangerous girl?
Is that what it is?
You're not scary.
What I'm afraid of...
is a slim and tall pig.
It's scary, seeing a slim and tall pig.
That's really scary.
Also a white-collar worker with no motivation.
It's OK.
I'm fine by myself.
I can stay for a while more...
or...
should I get that guy Ryo to come?
Is that so?
He definitely wouldn't show up.
Other than me, he has other women.
You knew, didn't you?
I'm not the first
and definitely not the second.
But it doesn't matter.
Second or third,
fourth or fifth,
even if I'm the hundredth.
As long as he likes me a little, I'll be happy.
I always tell Ryo words like that.
When I say them,
he becomes so gentle
to me.
That won't do.
It won't do.
Become the first.
Women should be first.
You should be loved.
You are adorable...
You should be first in someone's heart.
In these pretty hands,
there shouldn't be a burn mark.
Become...
number one.
I'll go get the medicine.
Hello.
Ryo...
I told you not to call during work.
Hey, Ryo.
Do you like me?
Like me the best?
I'm busy, I'm going to hang up.
I don't care.
I'll tell everything.
What are you talking about?
Bye bye.
Green onions,
ginger and shaved bonito.
Throw them in...
and add dashi soup stock...
that's bukkake udon.
It sounds delicious.
It is...
Kan-chan.
There's a visitor downstairs.
- No way! - No way!
It's one line.
Because there's only one line, it means you're sincere.
Oh, we should stop.
- Excuse me. - Sorry.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Did you come for some reason?
Nothing in particular.
I haven't been to a police station before.
So that's it.
Some tea?
No, that's OK.
Oh, yeah...
We're making udon now.
It's delicious, want some?
Aren't you working?
Even so...
No need.
If you're able to make udon, you must be better...
Didn't Yuki stab you?
Well, yeah...
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
Why didn't you arrest Yuki?
Because it wasn't serious.
Hey!
Concerning her...
think about her seriously.
Why don't you live seriously?
Disappointing...
Just like a boring adult.
Well,
work hard.
Kan-san, I started eating before you.
Really delicious.
Right!
I want some too.
Kan, there was a phone call for you.
Who was it?
It was a girl.
She hung up without leaving her name.
It was a good movie, wasn't it?
In the last scene,
she opened up his heart
and made him smile.
It made me cry.
Kusaka-san?
Yes.
Kusaka-san, you...
Have you cried before,
other than during movies?
What do you mean?
- What? Uh, no... - What?
After all,
if you don't open up your heart,
you won't be able to open up another person's heart.
Yes, that's right.
Oh! It turned green.
Those clothes fit Yuko-san well.
Let's go take a look.
Long time no see.
Yeah...
Yeah...?
Hey...
What is it?
Did you contact Miwa?
I wouldn't get through to her even if I tried.
Then what about a letter?
I can take her a letter.
Did you write one?
Why would I?
So you do like that girl,
that Yuki-san.
Not particularly.
The other time...
the burn...
Who do you really like?
You.
But it doesn't matter.
What are you buying?
Bird food.
I understand.
You're a secret admirer?
You like birds more than humans.
- Excuse me. - Welcome.
Hey...
What happened today?
Why do you ask?
Looks good.
- Thanks. - Thank you very much.
Welcome.
Thank you!
Yuko-chan,
wearing a mini-skirt...
for a date?
So it's for a date,
how nice.
Aunty, bill please.
Right, 2000 yen.
Here you go.
OK.
Thank you for coming.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Hey, Yuko-chan, come here.
Here!
Maybe it'll escape again.
The cage?
It's inside.
Can I go in?
Good work.
- Good work.
I was drinking beer in Tanuki
and it flew in.
I was surprised.
I wonder if you remember
where you've been before...?
Who knows...
Thank you.
No one comes here,
so there isn't much of anything.
Besides,
I'm an admirer of birds.
How...
how does it feel...
living in such a huge place by yourself?
Like putting a bird in a cage,
then locking up its heart.
Not being able to come out,
not happy,
not sad...
Not hoping,
not trusting,
not loving...
so I can't be hurt.
A heart with a radius of 15 centimeters...
What?
Within the cage...
forever...
a heart that can't fly.
Have you forgotten how to fly?
Being together with you always spoils my good mood.
But actually,
maybe I really want to fly.
Birds in the cage
long for the blue skies.
Compared to those free flying birds,
people with locked up hearts
yearn to be loved more.
I'm going home.
Did you know?
Your brother...
he thinks I'm a killer
and he's always sniffing around.
But that doesn't matter.
I...
I only believe what my eyes have seen,
I only believe...
what I've felt...
for myself.
Then tell me...
What do you see me as in your eyes?
That's not an answer.
What's wrong?
You're the one who called today, aren't you?
What is it?
I'd like you to listen to something.
What is it?
The truth.
The truth?
After all...
I think I have to say it after all.
