Have you worked in this line of business before?
We run a well-respected business here...
Sunada, you have terrible handwriting.
- Maria. - Huh?
Maria.
Maria?
Like the Virgin Mary?
Let me see your face.
Do you want to start working today?
We'll lend you a dress.
This is the police.
An accident, a hit and run!
- Where's the victim? - He's lying on the road.
Lying on the road?
- Send an ambulance! Hurry! - Where are you?
I don't know, in a telephone box!
The address should be written there.
It's 6-3-15 Nakano.
- What's your name? - Why do you ask?
- I'm not involved in this. - Well, you see... Hello?
Get in please!
I have nothing to do with him.
It's a matter of life and death!
Hurry!
Will he survive?
Even if I hadn't met you.
Even if you never knew me.
The world would've kept turning steadily.
Leaving us both behind.

Please, do not stream or make profit from these subtitles.
Open your eyes slowly.
Can you see?
The surgery went well.
But, she can't see!
I've explained this before. In your sister's case...
I don't want to hear your excuses!
What will make her see again?
She needs a cornea transplant.
Please do it.
You say it so easily...
But over 5,000 people are waiting to have a cornea transplant.
- 5,000? - Yes.
There are ways to get around that...
We can fix so that your sister is at the top of the waiting list.
But, it won't be easy.
I'll figure something out.
It'll cost you and you'll have to pay for the surgery, too.
It's such a gloomy room!
The rent is affordable.
Come and live with me.
Don't worry about me. I'm used to being blind.
I know where things are. It's 92 steps to the bus stop.
240 steps to the nearest grocery store.
The landlord insists that I have an electric stove.
So, you won't quit that job at the florist?
Of course not, how will I make a living?
That's why I want you to come live with me!
I don't want to trouble you.
You must spend so much on the surgeries I've had.
I was thinking last night.
I don't mind being blind.
It must be my fate.
It may have something to do with my past life.
I must have sinned in my past life,
and the Gods are punishing me now for that.
Then, I have to accept it.
What are you saying?
What could you have done in your past life?
You could never do anything bad!
If that's what the Gods are doing, then they're the ones at fault!
I will... make you see again.
I love you, Maria.
But think of your own happiness first.
I'm happy right now.
I read my favorite books using my hands.
I can smell flowers everyday.
Happiness isn't what the eyes see.
What is it?
Special delivery, please.
422 yen.
Ms. Sunada.
A phone call for you.
It's the police.
I don't remember.
I just heard it happen and the car sped away.
You don't remember anything?
Do you have to talk like that? I'm the good guy here!
I called the police and even lost one shoe.
- I would've... - I'm not you.
We have no other witnesses.
What about the victim? You should ask him.
If only we could...
How is he?
He's remembering what happened to him after the accident.
But, he remembers nothing about
what happened before he was hit by the car.
When do you think he'll...
There are no detectable external injuries to the brain.
I estimate that his memory will return
as he slowly recovers from his injuries.
Two weeks...
Three months, a year.
That long?
Psychiatry is still a very primitive science.
Are you saying he may never recover?
That's possible.
Are there any missing persons report?
No, we haven't found anything yet.
Sunada, your mother came by earlier,
so I let her into your room.
It's gone!
You're so pretty these days.
Did you find yourself a man?
How could anyone keep their eyes off of me?
This is a rare occurrence.
What are you doing here?
- Give it back to me. - This is my daughter.
You're too young to have a daughter.
She's pretty like me, don't you think?
Give me back my savings passbook!
Let's have a drink.
Give it back!
Don't glare at me like that!
I had to pay off some debts. I'm struggling to get by.
You go into my apartment without my permission.
You're a thief!
How could you say that? I'm your mother!
It was only 500,000 yen!
That was Nana's hospital money.
How can you call yourself our mother?
I'm struggling, too.
If my husband were alive, I wouldn't have to go through all this.
I'm sorry. But, the surgery failed, right? You don't have to pay!
I'm so desolate, you know.
I have to deal with drunks every night.
And my own daughter calls me a thief.
My own child... saying such cruel things!
It's your fault for burning down the house!
That's why my husband died and Nana became blind!
Sorry, that's not what I meant. That was an accident!
Say, what's that girl's name?
Which girl?
The girl in red.
Is she your type?
She's so boring.
Right, Kyoko?
Are you tired?
Yes. A little.
This was your first stockholder's meeting.
How did it go with that young actress?
- You mean, the bet? - Yes.
I think I won this time. She's full of pride.
Hello.
Why haven't you called? It's okay. Can we...
I lost again.
You'll lose your paycheck.
No, a bet is a bet.
I have to find a woman who will reject you.
Many women will reject me.
But, they won't say no to the heir to Kamiya Group.
Can I make a bet to get all my money back?
You never learn, do you?
You're here. What's your name?
It's her real name.
Answer him.
Maria.
Maria?
Like the Virgin Mary?
Here.
I want Maria to light my cigarette.
I see.
Give him a light.
What are you doing? This is your job.
Ouch!
What are you doing?
Sorry.
Apologize to him.
Apologize!
Welcome!
What's happening here?
We'll prepare your table right away!
Stop them!
Who's the girl you were talking about?
The girl in the red.
We'll come back another time.
Please, stop it!
It's time for your meal.
You have to eat something.
The girl that was here with the police yesterday.
Yes, what about her?
She's the one who saved your life.
I thought I had seen her somewhere before.
We're in the blind, too. Who do we send your bills to?
And you refuse to eat hospital food.
Hello?
I finish work at 6 today.
I'll pick you up.
No, it's okay.
I know where I'm going.
I want to show you I can take care of myself.
I will stop by the grocery store, too.
Bye.
Wait, Nana...
Thank you for letting me use the phone.
Anytime.
Our business depends on you.
If they didn't have a cute girl like you,
who would come to this store for flowers?
You're mean.
She can recognize flowers from their scent.
Even the condition of the flowers.
I appreciate your kindness in hiring me.
I'll go wrap these.
- I'm leaving now. - Take these with you.
It's a Calla Lily, I recognize the scent.
- You sure know your flowers. - Thank you and good night.
- Be careful. - I will.
An armed robbery?
The police said the culprit probably ran into me.
They let me leave when they found out I was blind.
- Be careful! - Don't worry.
Let's eat.
- How is it? - Delicious.
How do you do it?
I depend on my sense of smell.
I can see, but I can't cook.
Have you seen mom lately?
Yesterday.
How's her business?
Who knows? I'm sure she's saving every penny.
Did she say something about me?
She said she wanted you to see again.
I just remembered.
He was dragging his leg.
Who?
The man who ran away.
I could tell by the sound. It was his left foot.
- He wasn't dead, was he? - Don't be a coward.
I didn't mean to hurt him. But, he reached for the alarm.
Hey...
- I don't want to go to jail! - Don't worry.
She saw your face, right?
So what?
I will kill you if you don't shut up!
It's nothing!
Maria?
You're still awake?
Yeah.
- I have a question for you. - What is it?
Our wholesaler asked me this question yesterday.
I'm not very smart.
This world has come to an end and there's one boat.
Noah's Ark.
You can take just one person, one companion.
Choose your companion from the following animals.
Horse, peacock, tiger or sheep.
What did you pick?
Just pick one.
The sheep.
I knew you would choose the sheep.
Why?
It's a psychological test.
It shows what's most important to you.
What you yearn for.
The horse symbolizes a career.
The peacock symbolizes money, and the tiger symbolizes pride.
And, the sheep symbolizes love.
That's stupid.
I just thought I could eat the sheep.
What did you choose?
Don't laugh, but...
I chose the tiger.
Pride?
Only men who choose the sheep can make a woman happy.
Turn off the light.
Okay.
Good night.
A present.
The police keep hounding me.
They said I might be able to trigger your memory to come back.
I'm not kidding. I lost my shoe.
Your shoe?
I don't expect you to pay me for it.
Can you eat it without peeling the skin?
You're spoiled.
I've been meaning to thank you.
You saved my life.
Stop that.
No one has reported you missing yet.
Maybe your family deserted you.
I'm sorry.
I don't know my name. If I'm married.
What I do for a living.
I desperately tried to remember those things first.
But, not these days.
I just wonder...
Why I sleep and why I wake up.
Don't talk about such complicated things.
What will become of me if I never remember?
What do you mean?
I can't stay here once I recover from my injuries.
I only had 3,000 yen on me at the time of the accident.
This world can be cruel to those without money.
Yes, it can.
Um...
I don't have any money!
No...
I don't even know your name.
Who cares?
When I remember my past, I would like to thank you.
How much?
How much would you like?
Maria.
What?
My name's Maria.
- Maria? - Funny, isn't it?
Why?
It's a perfect name for you.
Get serious.
You don't like your name?
Leaving so soon?
I don't have business with guys with no money.
Then why did you come here today?
The apple was going bad, so...
Goodbye.
I told you I would get the money! Hurry, get Nana on the waiting list.
But, you haven't paid for the last surgery yet.
That...
We do run a business here.
And you call yourself a doctor?
I need you to pay for the last surgery first,
and we'll discuss other...
You were fired from your last job?
Well, I had a fight. I presume I was fired.
Do you have any cigarettes?
Any rooms available?
No, all of or rooms are currently occupied.
No rooms?
Mr. Kamiya! We'll prepare a special suite for you.
I thought we didn't have any rooms.
Just get me the key.
Okay.
- Ashtray. - Here.
Shower?
It's almost like you had one already.
How much?
I will pay anything. How much are you worth?
500,000 yen.
I'll pay in cash.
You're shaking.
I'm cold.
Your dirty bitch!
I enjoy making bets with my secretary.
We bet to see if I can get a woman to fall for me.
It's a game we play.
My secretary saw you and we chose you as a target for our bet.
You're the first one I'm telling our secret to.
You were just so easy.
I don't even feel like sleeping with you.
Take it.
Get out of my sight!
What's the matter?
You said you didn't have any place to go.
Yes.
I can take you with me.
If you give me the right answer to this question.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
There's just one boat.
You can just take one animal with you.
A horse, a peacock, a tiger or a sheep.
Which animal would you choose?
The end of the world?
I would...
I wouldn't get on the boat.
You don't like hospitals, and you don't like doctors?
Me, too.
So we know how he is?
He was famous?
Are you awake?
We know who you are.
Stop!
Idiot.
Are you sure about this? I have no money.
- I have your 3,000 yen. - I spent that money.
I thought you might come again.
My dearest Maria.
One day, I'll wish upon a star.
That I will awaken with you at a faraway place.
All our troubles will melt away like lemon drops.
And disappear into the sky... Far above any chimney top.
