Morning.
What?
What?!
I'm naked! Why?
Did you sleep well?
Why am I here?
Why? Didn't you remember anything?
No.
Nothing?
No.
Not at all?
No.
Since you were extremely drunk, I understood.
What the hell is this?
Ah, that's mine.
Damn, it!
I'm always watching you.
I want you to know real me.
I love you...?
It's the story about a young screenwriter who is the sport of irresponsible people nowhere in Hokkaido.
It's fiction
Inconvenient handymen
Who gave me this letter?
Episode 3
It's a love letter.
I don't remember how and when I got this.
You're a popular man!
I have no idea at all.
In the first place, why am I here?
When I was cleaning a bar, I found you between sofas.
Was I between sofas?
Yes.
Everybody thought that you left earlier.
But actually, you were between sofas.
Check this.
See?
Even though I tried to wake you up so many times, you didn't.
So, I carried and brought you in my place.
Did you carry me?
Yes. It was tough since it was snowing.
Sorry for trouble you.
Don't worry.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Don't worry, Jun. You're fine.
It shouldn't have been...
Yes, nothing happened last night...
I'm fine. I'm clean.
Well,
I have to go.
Thank you for all your help.
You're welcome. Come here anytime!
Ah, Jun-kun.
Yes.
Don't forget this.
And this.
I can't stand this cold weather.
My ears seem to come off.
If you keep walking in this cold weather, your ears will come off.
That's impossible!
At least 3 people in every winter have to go to the hospital to have ear surgery.
Seriously?
I'm serious. Where have you been?
We were worried since you were missing.
Where did you stay?
There is no hotel or B&B in this town.
I was at Momono-san's place.
Really? Momo-chan?
Anything wrong?
Well, everybody has a condition, right?
I seemed to fall asleep.
Why did you leave me there?
I thought that you left there earlier.
I didn't.
Get in a car. We're on the way to work.
I'm not a handyman.
If I say that I'll pay you?
Another 500 yen ($5)?
That's less than a tip.
Don't talk big since you're still a trainee.
Since when I became a trainee?!
What? I'm not going!
Didn't I ask you to come at 8 A.M.?
It's past 9 A.M.!
I'm sorry. We're almost too late.
You're late! You should give me a discount.
Even though we're late, we have to do the same work.
And our fee is reasonable.
Look! Ma-chan tries to seduce him again.
Seduce him?
He always does that.
However, Momo-chan is always on his guard.
What? You mean that they're...
Son, are you drinking?
I'm not his son.
Batsu-san is a total stranger to me.
I stay in this town because there's no bus operation due to the snow storm.
I told you so many times, didn't I?
You were separated more than 20 years, right?
Enough about that story.
He denies it, anyway.
Batsu-san, we worked hard to look for your son.
I appreciate your help.
However, he hasn't been able to accept reality yet.
He needs more time.
Is that so?
I'm waiting for him to call me Dad.
I see.
Katsurazawa-san, do you expect somebody?
What? Why do you ask me so?
Because you keep checking the entrance.
Damn, you! I don't wait for anybody!
It's bullshit!
Why do you overreact?
What's wrong?
Katsu-san, you're strange these days.
Nothing! I'm fine!
Mother, I'm still in the town in Hokkaido.
Since I lost my backpack, wallet and cellphone,
I'm stuck in here.
People in this town get dead drunk every night and end the day.
At first, I thought that they were totally irresponsible people.
However, they may not be able to live without forgetting reality by doing this.
Wow, it's a blue room again!
This is my place. What's wrong?
What happened? Why am I here again?
I'm always watching you.
Do you recognize me?
What a romantic love letter!
Even though you do something elaborate, it doesn't work!
You...You wrote this letter, didn't you?!
Because you want to assault me, don't you?
What are you talking about?
Sorry, I can't do that!
I'm not a gay man!
What are you talking about?
First of all, your partner is Matsui-san, isn't it?
Ma-chan?
I saw that you guys were talking in an intimate way last night.
Ah, that's already done.
Done?
Yes. So don't worry since I've been settled with Ma-chan.
And do you take up with me?
Wait a second...
Why did I feel jealous?
Anyway, I can't be your partner!
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why are you so hyper?
By force?
Do you assault me by force?
Ah, sorry.
I'm not a cheapo.
Did you stay at Momo-chan's place again?
Yes.
Please don't bring trouble to him.
Why not?
He takes good care of me.
Are you jealous?
Jealous?
I'm the one who is annoyed.
I'm a victim in this town.
Hey, don't be so mad.
It's quite natural.
You never look for my backpack.
We're very busy.
Busy? All you do is just the ploughing!
I want to get out of this town as soon as possible.
What did you say? Just the ploughing?
Did you just hit me?
I've never been hit by anybody.
Don't underestimate the ploughing.
It'll be covered with snow in just one night and we'll be trapped.
People in Tokyo make a fuss about several centimeters of snow, right?
Trains are canceled, streets are closed and special precautions are taken.
A the same time, we have more than 30 centimeters of snow in one night.
We're totally trapped.
All utilities are shut down, you know?
We can't go anywhere.
Our job is to resolve those problems, damn, you!
That's the ploughing for!
The ploughing is...
Tell him!
You should say your signature phrase. Don't give up.
Can we talk?
What?
What do you want?
Pull you into his room? More like Momo-chan's kindness, I think.
Don't be so rude.
Then, how can you explain this?
I'm always watching you.
Do you recognize me?
This is obviously a love letter.
Yes, this is a love letter. Lucky you!
That was in my jacket pocket.
I got a letter twice when I was Momono-san's place.
I believe that he put a letter in my jacket pocket.
Why does he have to do such the circuitous approach?
He is too shy to tell me directly.
Because we're like Beauty and the Beast, right?
I don't think that Momo-chan wrote this letter.
How come?
He has a lot of stuffed toys and hangs a macho-man calendar on the wall.
You may not be able to imagine since he looks scary.
We're not talking about his physical appearance.
Hey!
Then, can you find out what the truth is?
Why do I have to do that?
You're a handyman, aren't you?
Hey, don't ask us everything!
You say that you do anything, right?
Are you done?
Did you take me here for that? Damn, you!
All you did was eating seaweed.
What?
Ouch!
Cold!
Serve you right!
Shut up!
How long have you been in this town since you came back?
It's about 5 years.
That much?
You'd been in Sapporo for a long time, right?
Yes. I was a cook.
Yeah, you told me the other day.
I opened a bar in this town. Please visit me after leaving a hospital.
You're really a nice man!
Mother, I have to go to prepare for opening a bar.
She doesn't recognize you anymore.
It can't be helped since she became demented.
How long have you been in this town since you came back?
It's about 5 years.
That much?
Take care.
I'm sure that they have a special relationship.
You're stubborn.
Whose DNA is that?
At least it's not yours.
He said that their relationship was done.
What's going on?
I told you the other day.
I can't take it.
You can pay me back whenever you got a lot of money.
Please take it.
It's not a lot.
I know that all you get is the ploughing.
It'd be all right if it were only Batsu-san, but now you have another guy to pay.
I pay him only 500 yen.
Paying you back is my first priority.
Don't worry. Pay me whenever you have extra money.
However, 500 yen is not a salary, it's a tip.
That's all I can do.
The other day, when we were late for the ploughing, she asked me a discount.
It's a tough job.
Since I give him food and a bed, I let him be patient.
I should look for his backpack too. However, we're too busy to do that.
You always help people.
Am I?
Yes, you are.
Really?
Was that when you were a junior high school student?
When I came back from Sapporo, you were filming a movie, right?
It wasn't a movie, just a video.
You told me that you were filming a movie.
It was just a child's play.
Remember? You told me that you worked as part-time, saved money and bought a used 8 mm movie camera.
Did I tell you such a thing?
I remembered that you told me that proudly.
That dream was vanished.
We all had a shining dream in the old days.
They broke up again.
Matsui-san tried to get back together again, but Momono-san refused it.
You're making a story again.
What?
Are you drunk?
No. I drink only oolong tea.
Is this just oolong tea.
Yes.
I thought that you were drinking oolong tea highball (alcohol). So, I kept pouring distilled spirit.
I decided not to be drunk to find out the truth.
Hey, what happened suddenly?
Can I join you?
Please.
What's wrong with Katsurazawa-san?
He is depressed.
Why?
I have no idea.
Good evening.
After all, we couldn't find out anything.
It couldn't be helped since we were drunk.
That's why we shouldn?t drink.
If liquor is in front of me, I drink.
That's quite natural.
And we all become drunk.
What's wrong?
There was a person who wasn't drunk last night.
What?
There was a person who wasn't drunk.
Who is it?
Momono-san!
I just remembered that his mother is in the hospital.
His mother may know something.
Ah, there's a policeman.
Whenever he is involved, everything becomes complicated.
This town is also peaceful today.
Because I'm protecting all of you!!!
She doesn't know who she is.
How about her son?
He often visits her.
However, she doesn't recognize that he is her son.
I'm always watching you.
I want you to know real me.
What?
Nothing.
Thanks to all, I'm glad because everybody comes here every night.
However, if you ask me if I earn a lot of money, it's another story.
Momono-san, you wrote that letter, didn't you?
What? A letter? Ah, that love letter...
It's not me.
Judging from the situation, you're the only person who can give me a letter.
That's not true.
Everybody coming here has a chance.
Is that so?
When we drink, we drink together.
If somebody put a letter in my jacket pocket secretly, there should be an eyewitness.
On top of that, everybody is completely drunk.
However, after everybody left and I was left alone here,
or in your room with me,
you can put a letter in my jacket pocket without any trouble.
Momo-chan, did you really do that?
Why do you have to wear a trench coat?
From now on, it's just my guess.
You may be upset about my wild speculation without evidence.
May I?
What about it?
I'm always watching you.
I want you to know real me.
It's a message from you that you want me to know your real personality.
A rugged man who is in front of me isn't the real you, right?
Real me?
A calendar in your place, macho man, a yellow bikini undie, knitting tool...
Don't those items show the real you to me?
What?
You brought me in your place day after day, put a love letter into my jacket pocket.
You wanted me to know that you loved me.
What are you talking about?
I know that it's difficult to speak out.
You fell in love with a handsome man who came from Tokyo!
Don't call yourself a handsome man...
Am I wrong?
You're totally wrong.
What?
See? I knew that he was wrong.
Even though I tried to correct him, he became delusional.
You're totally wrong.
Look.
Wow!
These are trophies of a bodybuilding contest.
A bodybuilding?
Yes. I used to compete.
I won many competitions.
That yellow undie is also for a bodybuilding.
I got a macho man calendar from a gym where I used to go.
Now, I'm not as macho as before.
And that knitting tool is for mother.
Mother?
Yes. She is in a hospital right now.
I want to make something that warms her up.
I know that it's easy to buy something at a store.
However, I want to try to make something by myself.
So, I took a correspondence course of knitting.
Were you a bodybuilder?
When my mother became sick, I gave that up.
However, until then, I trained seriously in Sapporo.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Why do you wear a trench coat?
I'll undress right now.
Jun-kun, it's a silly mistake.
How come I have to have a special relationship with Momo-chan?
I was talking about my credit.
Since he is a nice man, he always says that I can pay whenever I have money.
However I want to pay back even a little money.
But he doesn't take it.
That's what we were talking about.
I don't want to mention you, but...
If you don't want to mention, don't do that.
He didn't do that on purpose.
I want to tell you guys something!
Who pays the bill for our drinking every night?
Ma-chan does!
That's right!
Since I can't pay you a lot, I feel guilty. So, I buy you drinks.
However, all we get is the ploughing, right?
Since we're not professionals, we have to lower the fee to get more orders.
Did you get it?
Yes.
No, you didn't!
I'm sorry. I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
However, it was Momono-san's fault too!
You shouldn't do hand knitting and don't keep those cute stuffed toy!
That's out of you character.
None of your business!
Let's drink!
I won't drink tonight!
Anyway, bring 3 beers.
Certainly.
Then, who gave me a love letter?
Excuse me, does anybody want a match box?
A little light that kills the darkness.
Even though it's a little light, it can warm you up.
Do you want to light up...
Damn, it!
Good morning.
Morning, you came early today.
How long have you been in this town since you came back?
It's about 5 years.
That much?
What?
Why?
Mother, I'm still in this town.
I'm involved in the events that I don't quite understand every day.
What happened to my hair?!
Why?!
Yeti?
He has white hair and a strong impression.
That's my backpack!
Wow, it's Yeti!
Yeti, cool!
Yeti!
Wait!
