Mother, I'm still in the town in Hokkaido.
I get caught in troubles one after another,
and get swallowed up almost every night.
I lost my eyebrow too!
Do you sigh too?
If you sigh too much, you lose happiness.
I have no happiness to lose right now.
Don't laugh. I'm serious.
"Come on! Instead of sighing all day, why don't you hold up your fists and shout for attracting happiness?"
Can you say something like that instead?
You'll be fine since you know how to get out of depression.
Instead being comforted by myself, I want you to do that.
Is Ma-chan home?
What? Don't you want to encourage me?
Do you just ignore me?
I shouldn't be like this.
All right!
It's the story about a young screenwriter who is the sport of irresponsible people nowhere in Hokkaido.
It's fiction
Snow went inside my jacket...
Inconvenient handymen
We do anything! We're handymen
Although Katsura-san came to work finally, all he does is to sigh.
Episode 5
He can't concentrate on work at all.
He ought to know better at his age...
Yeah, I haven't seen him at a bar for a while.
He isn't as if he were a high school girl...
That's why it's troublesome.
He's never had a romantic gossip until now.
So, we all thought that he just didn't have a chance to meet ladies.
But, he fell in love with a girl who is as young as his own daughter.
Who is she?
That girl who sells a match box.
That girl who sells a match box?
She comes to a bar every night.
Excuse me, does anybody want a match box?
Is he nuts?
That girl...
She is a mysterious girl. Why does she sell a match box?
How did you know that?
He confessed me. He said that he crushed on her.
Do me a favor? Can you give me a hand?
Why do we have to do that?
Because you're handymen, right? Please!
I'm very busy for revitalizing this town with Yeti right now.
It's impossible from any angle.
What?
Poor Katsurazawa-san. He must think about her seriously.
He doesn't think hard.
Didn't you just say that all he did was to sigh?
I'm the one who sigh all the time.
I'm the one who can't concentrate on work at all!
What's going on? Why are you here?
What happened to him?
Why does he speak English?
Hey dude.
Dude?
I wasn't able to beat you since I didn't have youth and hair until now.
But things changed now.
I won't lose to anyone! You're my rival!
What's going on?
What's wrong with him?
He seemed to research how to become popular among ladies.
He said that he read a lot of books,
or used paid vacation to go to Sapporo to take a lesson.
A lesson?
A lesson for being popular.
Damn, you! It's hot!
Don't touch cups!
A lesson for being popular. Such a thing exists.
Why does he want to take that lesson?
Because he wants that girl to be interested in him.
Katsurazawa-san, this document...
All right. Excuse me.
I'm afraid that he can't hide his age.
He seems to be very serious about her.
Yes, he is. It's painful to see him like that.
That's why I sigh a lot these days.
So, I want you to reveal that little match-seller's background,
explain to her what's going on,
and let her tell him that she isn't interested in him.
Sorry!
Don't make the same mistake!
Don't mess around!
It's really hot!
I'm sorry.
I want her to tell Katsura-san that she isn't interested in him at all.
Don't touch cups!
I don't.
I feel sympathy for him that he fell in love with a girl after getting older.
Batsu-san, you're the same, right?
I'm not. I've already divorced 3 times.
I was so-so popular.
You failed 3 times...
Well, that's not something I should say in front of my son.
I told you so many times.
My real father died when I was a little.
You're not my father.
That laugh...It sounds like that you know the truth.
But you're not my father.
Well, whatsoever.
Without capturing that girl, we can't move forward.
What should we do?
We should wait until dark.
I'm talking about the situation right now.
Can you push a car?
Ready?
Doesn't she show up yet?
She always comes here late.
Would you like something to drink?
Another Oolong tea.
I feel bored without drinking.
Don't drink tonight.
I know.
You?re too noisy. Shut up!
What did you say, Batsu-san?
What's wrong?
How come you're having a riotous time by yourself?
It always happens, right?
We always have party nights.
And you're at the center of a party.
I haven't had a single drink tonight.
I said shut up!
Batsu-san, don't pick fights with him.
Because he can enjoy drinking and have a fun time.
That's a bar for, right?
Let's drink, everybody!
Because of you, we can't drink!
Hey, boy! Or Dude!
I'll show you the charm of adult man
Did you see?
Somehow, he thinks that Jun-kun is his rival.
He thinks that that girl comes here to see Jun-kun.
Because he doesn't want to be beaten by Jun-kun, he acts like that.
Hey, your wig is out of position.
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?
I'll buy it.
Give it to me.
This isn't for sale.
I'll take all.
These match boxes are...
Everything in that basket,
I'll buy all.
These are not for sale.
I knew that.
Ah...your head...
Your hat is out of position.
Hat? I don't wear a hat.
What I wear is a sheep mask.
Don't!
Nobody can stop me.
Don't light up!
Lady, you've already ignited my heart.
Excuse me.
What's going on?
Let's capture her quickly and enjoy drinking.
She disappeared.
Where did she go?
She may be Snow Woman.
What? Snow Woman?
Do you mean a ghost that appears in the snowstorm?
Do you expect me to say so?
If I was curious about Snow Woman, you'd be excited to talk more.
So I won't comment anything.
She is Snow Woman.
Are you moron?
She lighted a match, didn't she?
Snow Woman and fire don't go with.
Snow Woman...
You don't listen to me at all.
That's fine since I'm used to your attitude.
You're right. She is Snow Woman!
She disappeared suddenly in front of us.
Don't connect everything with Snow Woman.
Don't exaggerate.
She didn't disappear suddenly.
She did, didn't she?
She did.
We lost her when she turned the corner, right?
But she disappeared suddenly.
She did.
She vanished suddenly from the huge open space.
Yes, she did.
Can we vanish suddenly like that?
No, we can't...
No, right?
No.
She vanished.
She must be Snow Woman. And it's the perfect situation.
Sakurada-san, don't be deceived.
They're trying to play you a trick so that you don't blame them to let her get away.
I like Snow Woman's story. I'll use it.
Remember? We're talking about Katsurazawa-san's love story, right?
That's for him.
What?
You're a screenwriter, aren't you?
So, you should give her up.
She isn't human being, she is Snow Woman.
You know Snow Woman, don't you?
It's a specter.
She appears with her baby.
Your script...
Please,
hold my baby.
Repeat it.
Please hold my baby.
If you hold a baby, since a baby is very heavy, you'll be buried under the snow and freeze to death.
If you refuse to hold a baby, she pushes you off a cliff.
Either way, you'll be dead.
One day, a man strayed into her house and was almost killed.
Why can't you remember anything?
I intended to kill you.
But I let you alive.
Don't tell anybody what happened tonight.
If you do, I'll kill you.
That man fell in love with Oyuki after a couple of years.
They had 10 kids and lived happily.
Sit down...
Oyuki was young and beautiful no matter how many years passed.
Whenever I see your face, I remember the strange accident that happened 18 years ago.
I met a beautiful lady who looked just like you.
Was that a dream?
Was she Snow Woman?
The lady you met was me.
Didn't I tell you if you told about that, I'd kill you?
No!
But when I see our kids sleeping beside us,
how can I kill you?
Then, Oyuki's body melted and disappeared.
Snow Woman melts, you know?
She melts from the heat.
She hates fire.
Don't!
Nobody can stop me.
Don't light up!
Snow Woman...
That's right.
He seems to be satisfied.
Because of my awesome acting, right?
I'm not sure about that.
I don't want you to tell me that.
It went well since Katsurazawa-san believed the Snow Woman story.
Now, we have to talk to her and have her understand the situation too.
We want her to act like Snow Woman.
She needs to act well like I did.
Bullshit!
You even didn't remember one line.
Batsu-san, hurry up.
Ah, can we talk?
Did you understand?
But..
In the first place, why do you sell match box?
Not many people use match these days.
You're right.
You seem to misunderstand it.
I don't sell match box.
I work at a small ad agency.
Ad agency?
Yes.
That may sound cool, but actually all we make is flyers or promotion items.
It's a very small company.
So, why does a lady from the ad agency have to sell match?
Those are also promotion items.
I visit shops to ask to make a promotion item like a match box.
You probably wonder why match box...
It's cheaper than lither, and they can print their store name, address and telephone number on it.
It's very convenient.
So, did you come here every night for business?
Yes. Our company is in a severe financial situation right now.
I see.
Why do I have to stay outside?!
Please let me go inside!
Anyway, an old bold man fell in love with you for ages.
Don't call him bold.
Watch your mouth.
If he fell in love with you only, it'd have been well,
But he became too excited.
We want to let him awake from a dream as soon as possible.
Is it only a dream?
I'll freeze to death!
Good evening.
The fire that we both have in our heart overlap and become the flame.
And it'll never burn out.
What?
Lady,
I fell in love with you!
It's not good. He confessed his feeling.
What does that old man think?
If I light this match, do you disappear?
If so, why do you sell a match box that kills you?
You may disappear if I light this match.
But I'm going to light a match.
Because love always starts with one-sided assumption.
Honey! My honey!
Wait! Honey!
Honey! Honey! Wait!
My honey!
She disappeared!
How come?
What's going on?
She may be a real Snow Woman!
Help me!
It's not good!
This is just like our scenario.
That was a legend, a fiction, right?
I hear her call for help.
Help me!
Give me your hand!
Ah, his wig fell.
Ah, he was dragged.
He was dragged by Snow Woman!
Katsurazawa-san will be killed!
Why are you so calm?
Calm down.
Snow Woman doesn't exist.
That land hasn't been used for years.
The owner made a few honey buckets there.
When it snows, those buckets are covered with snow and become pitfalls.
Honey buckets? Do you mean...
If you fall into it in summer time, you'll be covered with poo.
But since it's winter time and pitfalls freeze, you're fine.
I can't imagine if she fell into it in summer time...
She was very lucky.
Didn't you think that she was Snow Woman?
I know that Snow Woman doesn't exist.
But you believed that, didn't you?
I pretended to believe that.
What do you mean?
I knew that everybody worried about me because of my age.
So, it was too obvious, wasn't it?
Because I knew her.
Do you know her?
What do you mean?
Batsu-san, if you fall in love with somebody, what do you do?
I try to talk to her.
If you know nothing about her?
I search her background.
How do you do that?
When I see her, I'll follow her.
That was exactly what I did.
When you knew her background, what do you do next?
If I really love her...
I try to get closer to her.
Yeti?
Yes.
We're thinking to use Yeti as an advertising slogan to revitalize this town.
So, we want to set banners...
Thank you very much.
We want to put banners all over the town first.
May I ask your company to design a banner? It's a rush job.
I'm sorry to cause you trouble.
So, did she design that banner?
By any chance, do you know her personally?
Why didn't you tell us?
If we knew that you knew each other, this matter would be solved much quicker.
I'm confused...
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
By the way, I feel sorry for you that we have nothing but that kind of costume.
Don't worry. I wanted to wear this kind of clothes at least once.
I'm sorry that I got carried away for my age, and caused you trouble.
Well, since it turned out all right, let's settle for this.
I'm embarrassed that I became more and more hyper.
I'm sorry.
That's all right. Let's drink.
You misunderstood.
What? What about it?
You like him, don't you?
Young man, you should have known her feeling to you.
You misunderstood!
Could you take nice pictures?
Yes. I'll use these pictures.
For what?
I'm thinking about making a homepage.
Really?
Mori-san what's wrong with you?
You seem to be very happy.
Is that his business card?
What? Don't tell me...
Excuse me,
where is a bathroom?
Go over there and turn right.
Thank you.
He is an old man like your grandpa!
You told me that he was a man shining like a sun, didn't you?
She meant that...
A man shining like a sun?
What? What?
So, the reason that you came here every night was...
That's right. It was just an excuse that I came here for a business.
In fact, I came here to see Katsurazawa-san.
But I knew that I'd be ignored by him since I was too young for him.
I just wanted to see him once and give him a letter to express my feeling.
A letter? What?
It's very warm.
I'm always watching you. I want you to know real me. I love you.
Are you in love with each other?!
God, where are you?!
I want to hold you tight! Thank you, God!
Look at him very carefully!
He is just an ordinary bold man!
Didn't you say that she fell in love with Jun-kun?
That's right. I was annoyed that you considered me as your rival.
As a man, I don't want to accept the fact that a beauty and a beast were in love with each other...
If possible, I want to break them up now. But it's too late...
Look at him carefully!
He is an old bold man!
He is cute.
No way!
This result is totally different from our scenario.
But since it has a happy ending, I should be happy for them.
I'll give you one more chance.
Look at him carefully!
He is just an ordinary bold man!
Hey, don't blame boldness!
He looks just like a Kokeshi doll (Japanese wooden doll) and is cute.
Mother, life is very interesting.
There's a drama that has a happy ending that nobody was able to expect.
Although he can't grow his hair, everything is possible in life.
It was the night when I learned such a thing.
And I'm enjoying drinking.
Ah, did you see my backpack?
Do you want me to say, "Yes, I did"?
What?
Yes, I did!
I finally can get out of this town.
My eyebrow is back.
What?
What? What's that?
What?
Who are you?
No, it's a sensitive part...
Fire ramen?
A local gourmet!
Hold a hero show and advertise fire ramen.
A young lady and man stole money from the office.
I suspect a man from a noodle shop.
We're heroes.
Justice wins by all means.
