1. We have seen a star in the east.Copy !req
2. It told us the Son of God is born.Copy !req
3. The Lord Jesus
was laid in a mangerCopy !req
4. to bring salvation
to the souls of thoseCopy !req
5. with no place of their own.Copy !req
6. Nothing is harder
than to have no placeCopy !req
7. but many are those without one.Copy !req
8. Tell me about it!Copy !req
9. In their solitude,
they long for someone who will say:Copy !req
10. "I want you to be here."Copy !req
11. Not me, thanks.Copy !req
12. Be quiet!Copy !req
13. Jesus was born to offer those alone
a place in which to be alive!Copy !req
14. "Joy to the world,
the food has come."Copy !req
15. Gin! It's "the Lord has come"!Copy !req
16. You don't know much, do you?Copy !req
17. More than some queer.Copy !req
18. I am a mistake made by God.Copy !req
19. In my heart, I am a woman.Copy !req
20. Women can have children.Copy !req
21. What if a miracle like
the Virgin Mary getting pregnantCopy !req
22. was to happen to a queer?Copy !req
23. Better give me a little extra.
After all, I'm eating for two.Copy !req
24. Serves you right!Copy !req
25. Miyuki!Copy !req
26. Time to eat!Copy !req
27. Miyuki!Copy !req
28. Close your legs!
Act like you were a woman.Copy !req
29. I am a woman.Copy !req
30. And it's a waste
to spill food like that.Copy !req
31. Don't just gobble your bread.Copy !req
32. Eat it with love for the people
who made and brought it here.Copy !req
33. I hate that Bible-thumping.
You're just like Akiko.Copy !req
34. Who's Akiko?Copy !req
35. My old lady.Copy !req
36. Well!Copy !req
37. Don't call your mother that.Copy !req
38. Eat shit, you old fart.Copy !req
39. "Shit" I'll take, but "fart" I won't!Copy !req
40. That hurts! You old...Copy !req
41. "bag lady."Copy !req
42. You peep pretty loud for a chick
that can't even find its own worms.Copy !req
43. Should a burden on society like you
be talking?Copy !req
44. You're a burden on us.
What does that make you?Copy !req
45. The kettle the pots calling black!Copy !req
46. You mouthy brat!Copy !req
47. Can't you at least get along
at Christmas?Copy !req
48. Oh, yes.
Miyuki, I got you a present.Copy !req
49. They're gone!Copy !req
50. A whole set of
"World Literature for Children".Copy !req
51. Why would I need that?Copy !req
52. Hana looked hard for those!Copy !req
53. Even a homeless teenage runaway
needs a Christmas present!Copy !req
54. I choose not to go home.Copy !req
55. Six months on the street
means you don't have a home.Copy !req
56. I can go home any time I want to.Copy !req
57. It's the ones who say that
who never do.Copy !req
58. Speak for yourself, you old geezer!Copy !req
59. What are you doing to Dostoevsky?Copy !req
60. I won't take that, today of all days!Copy !req
61. Not even my father ever hit me!Copy !req
62. So I'll do it for him!Copy !req
63. Grow up, will you?Copy !req
64. Don't hurt yourselves.Copy !req
65. Show more respect, kid!Copy !req
66. I'm not a kid!Copy !req
67. With little tits like these?Copy !req
68. You filthy old pervert!
That's harassment!Copy !req
69. Will you two stop?Copy !req
70. Huh?Copy !req
71. It's been...Copy !req
72. abandoned.Copy !req
73. There, there, there.Copy !req
74. CARE FOR THIS CHILD.Copy !req
75. What a world! Oh, man!Copy !req
76. Oh, my! You're a little girl.
I wonder what your name is.Copy !req
77. "John Doe."Copy !req
78. She's a girl, I said!
He's so rude!Copy !req
79. How old was I when I started
living like this? Thirty-something?Copy !req
80. I still thought that I was better off
than a child with no home.Copy !req
81. There, there, now!
We'll take you somewhere warm.Copy !req
82. The cop shop's that way!Copy !req
83. This is a Christmas present
from God!Copy !req
84. She's our baby!Copy !req
85. Huh?Copy !req
86. Sorry!Copy !req
87. What do you mean,
take her with us?Copy !req
88. I'm just doing God's will.Copy !req
89. Her parents might come back.Copy !req
90. What parent would leave
a child out in this cold?Copy !req
91. That's a devil, not a parent!Copy !req
92. Kiyoko wanted us to find her.Copy !req
93. "Kiyoko"?Copy !req
94. "Kiyoko"? Why "Kiyoko"?Copy !req
95. From kiyo, "pure,"
on this purest of nights.Copy !req
96. - How tacky!
- Kiyoko's a fine name!Copy !req
97. Did you have
a girlfriend named that?Copy !req
98. Idiot!Copy !req
99. Look, we can't just name her!
She's not a puppy or a kitten!Copy !req
100. So I'm taking her home.Copy !req
101. To a cardboard box?Copy !req
102. There's no room!Copy !req
103. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!
Let me feel like a mother!Copy !req
104. A haiku:Copy !req
105. "A little baby, powdery snow
on its cheeks, on this holy night."Copy !req
106. Peek-a-boo!Copy !req
107. Oh, dear! Tell me what's wrong!Copy !req
108. Shut up!Copy !req
109. Hey!Copy !req
110. I know, I know, he's not your mommy.
He's just a homeless homo.Copy !req
111. Don't say that in front of her!Copy !req
112. A baby crying around here
will sound weird!Copy !req
113. We're going to take you
to the police soon, okay?Copy !req
114. You're not going anywhere, are you?Copy !req
115. Idiot! We're taking her to the police!Copy !req
116. Don't shout or she'll never shut up!Copy !req
117. Why won't you stop crying?
Are you hungry?Copy !req
118. There, there!Copy !req
119. Maybe she's sick.Copy !req
120. Tomorrow.
I promise I'll take her then.Copy !req
121. Christmas should be
the happiest day of the year.Copy !req
122. If we take her in now, it'll always be
the worst day of her life!Copy !req
123. Maybe... she needs a diaper.Copy !req
124. Hana, boil some water.Copy !req
125. I'll make some milk.Copy !req
126. Hey! Whose side are you on?Copy !req
127. Go buy some water!
My angel isn't drinking from the tap!Copy !req
128. Why me?Copy !req
129. Where does a bum get off telling me,
"Them that works eats"?Copy !req
130. Just for tonight, remember.
Tomorrow we take her to the police.Copy !req
131. So "no man is an island"
after all, huh?Copy !req
132. You're buying water?Copy !req
133. A Christmas miracle.Copy !req
134. What a haul!Copy !req
135. Watch where you're going, brat!Copy !req
136. You watch where you're going!Copy !req
137. I was married once.Copy !req
138. With a Child?Copy !req
139. No, don't tell me.
I don't want to hear this!Copy !req
140. You never forget for one second.Copy !req
141. A child's the only thing
you hold dearer than life itself.Copy !req
142. A boy?Copy !req
143. No.Copy !req
144. Bullshit!Copy !req
145. Come on! Give it back!Copy !req
146. Hey, you're the girl
who hangs out with Gin.Copy !req
147. Get out of here, will you?Copy !req
148. - We don't want Gin after us.
- Why not?Copy !req
149. You're the light of his life,
that's why not!Copy !req
150. There's not much light
in a cardboard box.Copy !req
151. Let me have this book.Copy !req
152. How old?Copy !req
153. Twenty-one, I think.Copy !req
154. Five or six years older than Miyuki,
I guess.Copy !req
155. That old?Copy !req
156. If she was alive.Copy !req
157. When I was 20, I got a girl pregnant
and we got married.Copy !req
158. I was in heaven.Copy !req
159. You could have poked me in the eye
and I'd have just smiled at you.Copy !req
160. But my daughter got sick,
and the medical bills were huge.Copy !req
161. I was something
of a bicycle racer then.Copy !req
162. I needed money.
There was this race...Copy !req
163. You threw it?Copy !req
164. A punk I knew had this scheme.Copy !req
165. They found out, I got kicked out
of racing, and my girl died.Copy !req
166. I just didn't feel like working anymore.Copy !req
167. And then my wife followed my daughter.Copy !req
168. Oh, no!Copy !req
169. That's how you get to be a man like me.Copy !req
170. I didn't want to hear that.
I hate sad stories!Copy !req
171. It's freezing!Copy !req
172. - You're used to this.
- Kind of.Copy !req
173. I'll give her the milk.Copy !req
174. Dreams do come true.Copy !req
175. I always dreamed of being
the mother of a little girl.Copy !req
176. A nice, warm house, a pretty daughter.Copy !req
177. Even if my husband was no good,Copy !req
178. I would accept dire poverty
as long as I had my child.Copy !req
179. Feed the poor kid!Copy !req
180. You're so pretty.Copy !req
181. The prettiest little girl in the world.Copy !req
182. What do you want?Copy !req
183. They're gone.Copy !req
184. Santa Claus, maybe?Copy !req
185. "Uncle Bag" and the baby are gone.Copy !req
186. What's that queer thinking about?Copy !req
187. Man, he's got big feet!Copy !req
188. You can't have feet fixed.Copy !req
189. Are you taking her back?Copy !req
190. There's probably an APW out on her.Copy !req
191. - And for you.
- I doubt it.Copy !req
192. An arrest warrant, maybe.Copy !req
193. Her parents are probably
sorry about this now.Copy !req
194. So let's take her to the police.Copy !req
195. A baby's always better off
with its real mother.Copy !req
196. Not necessarily.Copy !req
197. Sometimes a foster mother's better.Copy !req
198. - What?
- Don't be stupid.Copy !req
199. I never knew my real mother.Copy !req
200. But I'll bet if she saw me now, she'd flip.Copy !req
201. How can someone homeless
raise a child?Copy !req
202. I know, I know!Copy !req
203. I don't want her shunted
from one foster home to anotherCopy !req
204. without even one memory
of ever having been loved.Copy !req
205. You don't have to be a foundling
to feel that.Copy !req
206. They must have had their reasons.Copy !req
207. Nothing should make you
abandon a child!Copy !req
208. That means you've taken love
and tossed it away, like trash.Copy !req
209. Yeah, but what can we do about it?Copy !req
210. Find her mother.Copy !req
211. And ask why she abandoned her baby.Copy !req
212. If she can make me understand,Copy !req
213. I'll forgive her,
and my mother too.Copy !req
214. Find her?Copy !req
215. How?Copy !req
216. We'll have to pay again.Copy !req
217. This is an expensive year-end!Copy !req
218. What if we find another baby?Copy !req
219. They don't toss them out in twos.Copy !req
220. Another key!Copy !req
221. Look at these panties.
You'd catch cold in them!Copy !req
222. Are they the ones?Copy !req
223. Are these your folks?Copy !req
224. Look, business cards.Copy !req
225. A hostess club won't be open
at this hour.Copy !req
226. We've got some walking to do.Copy !req
227. You've gotta be kidding!Copy !req
228. He was eating for two!Copy !req
229. But why pack like you're off on a trip
and then abandon a baby?Copy !req
230. Maybe it was one last trip
they were taking.Copy !req
231. A family suicide?Copy !req
232. Then what do we do?
We can't search the next world.Copy !req
233. Shh!Copy !req
234. We apologise
for any inconvenience.Copy !req
235. Trains will be delayed
due to heavy snowfall.Copy !req
236. It's so hot in here!Copy !req
237. What a stink!Copy !req
238. Have you bathed lately?Copy !req
239. No. Or washed my clothes.Copy !req
240. How embarrassing!Copy !req
241. Oh, dear! There, there.Copy !req
242. Did she piss herself?
That's why it stinks.Copy !req
243. It's you that stinks!Copy !req
244. - Quiet!
- Shut that kid up!Copy !req
245. - Watch it!
- Hey!Copy !req
246. - Miyuki!
- What's she up to?Copy !req
247. We wasted our train fares.Copy !req
248. It was me who paid them.Copy !req
249. I'm sorry, there's no more milk.Copy !req
250. Go ahead, blame it all on me.Copy !req
251. Oh, cheer up! Let's sing a song.Copy !req
252. What's that?Copy !req
253. - The Sound of Music, of course.
- Never heard of it.Copy !req
254. That's going to make you even hungrier.Copy !req
255. I'm starving!Copy !req
256. I told you!Copy !req
257. Look after my little angel.Copy !req
258. Go on without me.Copy !req
259. Just say you'll never forget
the queer you once knew.Copy !req
260. Look. A cemetery.Copy !req
261. I'm not dead yet!Copy !req
262. Now I'm alive again!Copy !req
263. But there's nothing for a baby
in these offerings to the dead!Copy !req
264. We'll get by!Copy !req
265. Yeah, sure. "We'll get by!"Copy !req
266. People keep on saying that
till they end up living like us.Copy !req
267. And while we keep on saying it,
the kid'll end up under a stone here.Copy !req
268. "Kiyoko"! She has a name!Copy !req
269. Yeah, whatever. And she's cute.
She's so pretty.Copy !req
270. But listen to me. I'm serious.Copy !req
271. You listening?Copy !req
272. If you really care about that kid,Copy !req
273. you'll find her someone
to take care of her.Copy !req
274. I speak from experience.Copy !req
275. That's what her parents said, I bet.Copy !req
276. What do you mean?
I wouldn't abandon a kid.Copy !req
277. Don't be stupid!Copy !req
278. No. Your family abandoned you!Copy !req
279. There you go again!
Am I going to sit and listenCopy !req
280. while some dumb queer
pisses on me?Copy !req
281. What are we doing here? Tell me.Copy !req
282. Wracking our brains!Copy !req
283. We're scavenging offerings
left in a cemetery.Copy !req
284. And why? Because we're homeless.Copy !req
285. - Stop it!
- No! I'm not going to stop.Copy !req
286. We are three good-for-nothing bumsCopy !req
287. who can't even look after ourselves.Copy !req
288. Shut up! I'm thinking!Copy !req
289. I won't shut up.Copy !req
290. You can't get milk from an old queer's
tits, no matter how hard you think.Copy !req
291. Come on, Hana!
You know we can't do this.Copy !req
292. Speak for yourself!Copy !req
293. This way, the whole family will be dead.Copy !req
294. Oh, my!Copy !req
295. You're so lucky, Kiyoko!Copy !req
296. God must really love you!Copy !req
297. Then why was she...Copy !req
298. dumped?Copy !req
299. Left!Copy !req
300. - That's a dead end.
- It's right!Copy !req
301. - Tails.
- Heads.Copy !req
302. What's this guy doing, parking like that?Copy !req
303. Doesn't he know
what a "public thoroughfare" is?Copy !req
304. How did that happen?Copy !req
305. Bad luck. The car got stuck,
and I forgot the parking brake.Copy !req
306. Then someone shouted,
"Dorothy, wait!"Copy !req
307. And then I heard, "Whoops!"
and the damn car rolled on top of me.Copy !req
308. I don't bring my men with me
when I'm visiting the old man's grave.Copy !req
309. I owe you.
Call me if you're ever in trouble.Copy !req
310. Oh, no, we never have any trouble.Copy !req
311. You're from Kinshicho?Copy !req
312. We were just going there.Copy !req
313. I know it's rude to ask.Copy !req
314. If it's rude, then don't ask.Copy !req
315. Come on.Copy !req
316. Would you know this establishment?Copy !req
317. "MIDORI"Copy !req
318. Know it?Copy !req
319. Its owner's marrying my daughter today.Copy !req
320. He's one of my men,
but he's too cocky.Copy !req
321. I was against it.Copy !req
322. But your daughter chose him.Copy !req
323. The daughter I brought up,
married to a man like that.Copy !req
324. Know what I mean?Copy !req
325. But if your daughter's
happy with him,Copy !req
326. isn't that the main thing?Copy !req
327. You're right!Copy !req
328. I went to the old man's grave
so I wouldn't cry at the wedding.Copy !req
329. Watch the road!Copy !req
330. Good evening, sir!Copy !req
331. Make yourselves at home.Copy !req
332. Daddy, you're late!Copy !req
333. Sorry, sorry. I almost got killed.Copy !req
334. I owe them my life.Copy !req
335. My daughter, Kiyoko.Copy !req
336. Oh. Hello.Copy !req
337. What have you gotten us into?Copy !req
338. Just shut up and eat!Copy !req
339. Diaper change. Your turn, Miyuki.Copy !req
340. Don't you think
Kiyoko has amazing luck?Copy !req
341. Yeah.Copy !req
342. Maybe she does.Copy !req
343. Oh, yeah. Her name's Sachiko.Copy !req
344. Not "MIDORI"?Copy !req
345. Just at the club.Copy !req
346. She's Sachiko, "happy child,"
though she didn't look it.Copy !req
347. But some plastic surgery turned her
into a good little earner.Copy !req
348. She quit.
Said she was pregnant.Copy !req
349. Do you know where she is?Copy !req
350. I doubt you'll wring
any money out of her.Copy !req
351. No, I have something to give her.Copy !req
352. I'm sorry I spilled your food.Copy !req
353. You remember her?
MIDORI, the skinny broad.Copy !req
354. She said her husband was in debt.Copy !req
355. What's wrong with you?Copy !req
356. That bastard.Copy !req
357. Do you know him?Copy !req
358. Then she borrowed
more money from us,Copy !req
359. and ended up screwed both ways.Copy !req
360. You know where she is?Copy !req
361. If it weren't for his damn
get-rich-quick scheme,Copy !req
362. I'd still be With my Wife and kid!Copy !req
363. But aren't they both dead?Copy !req
364. I'll kill the bastard!Copy !req
365. You'll get killed!Copy !req
366. Mitsuo! Mitsuo!Copy !req
367. It was that maid!Copy !req
368. Are you okay?Copy !req
369. She's got a gun!Copy !req
370. Hey, what?Copy !req
371. Kiyoko! Miyuki!Copy !req
372. Hey!Copy !req
373. Thank you very much.Copy !req
374. She's got a gun, you know!Copy !req
375. - Our lives are already wasted!
- Hana!Copy !req
376. There!Copy !req
377. Yes! One of your cabs picked up
a young woman with a baby.Copy !req
378. Number 12-25. Send it to...Copy !req
379. the Tokyo Tower.
My name is...Copy !req
380. Hey! Wait a minute.Copy !req
381. We're homeless bums,
not action-movie heroes.Copy !req
382. What we need now is the police.Copy !req
383. If you like the police so much,
get them to adopt you!Copy !req
384. Those children are like family!Copy !req
385. I thought I could depend on you!Copy !req
386. Don't talk like you were my damn wife.Copy !req
387. I'm not going anywhere.Copy !req
388. Gin!Copy !req
389. We've done all we could.Copy !req
390. You're giving up?Copy !req
391. There's nothing we can do.Copy !req
392. You really are the lowest of the low!Copy !req
393. The best thing you'll ever do
is die in the gutter!Copy !req
394. Oh, poor you!
You'll be dead and no one'll care!Copy !req
395. All you ever do is cause people trouble!Copy !req
396. Dead or alive, you're living trash!Copy !req
397. The king of trash!Copy !req
398. Okay, so I'm trash. But you're ugly.Copy !req
399. - Yes?
- I want to get rid of some trash.Copy !req
400. I don't think I'd fit.Copy !req
401. Yeah, that's what I am, living trash!Copy !req
402. Who cares if you die in the gutter?Copy !req
403. You're dead all the same.Copy !req
404. You okay?Copy !req
405. Hang in there, Gramps.Copy !req
406. - May I make one last request?
- What?Copy !req
407. Give me a drink of that.Copy !req
408. You're not selling me into slavery!Copy !req
409. Somebody, help!Copy !req
410. I always wanted to die drunk,
in a nice old house.Copy !req
411. Now I'm halfway there.Copy !req
412. Fate works in strange ways.Copy !req
413. I've lived a long time,Copy !req
414. but I'm just trash,
as worthless dead as alive.Copy !req
415. Don't talk like that!Copy !req
416. You remind me of myself
when I was younger.Copy !req
417. Looking at you now,Copy !req
418. may I make a last request?Copy !req
419. Get rid of this for me.Copy !req
420. Some people will be hurt
if it's known who I am.Copy !req
421. Okay. I understand.
No one will ever know.Copy !req
422. Take care of yourself, okay?
May I make a last...?Copy !req
423. Request?Copy !req
424. And now, goodbye.Copy !req
425. That's it!Copy !req
426. Thanks, Gramps!Copy !req
427. Time for the New Year's clean-up!Copy !req
428. Big breasts... Cool!Copy !req
429. Husband?Copy !req
430. Father... Police.Copy !req
431. Your dad's a cop?Copy !req
432. - My father was a policeman!
- Father, policeman?Copy !req
433. Except I'm the one
he's going to be arresting.Copy !req
434. Hold it.Copy !req
435. Hi! How've you been?Copy !req
436. Now? Just cleaning up.Copy !req
437. Hey, wake up!Copy !req
438. Come on!Copy !req
439. No! Not that!Copy !req
440. Time to die, old man!Copy !req
441. Kiyo's coming? I'm there!Copy !req
442. The girls are drinking near here.Copy !req
443. Yeah?Copy !req
444. All cleaned up.Copy !req
445. Give it back!Copy !req
446. Give me that back!Copy !req
447. Her foreigner husband looked like
he was in a real bad mood.Copy !req
448. Did he hit her?Copy !req
449. No, she was being real nice
for a girl so young.Copy !req
450. My wife could learn something!Copy !req
451. His foreign assailant fled, taking
a young woman and a baby hostage.Copy !req
452. With the groom in serious condition,
police speculate this may be a warCopy !req
453. between crime syndicates.Copy !req
454. Hey, this is serious!Copy !req
455. I'm not kidding around, either!Copy !req
456. My mum's religious.Copy !req
457. She chants all the time.Copy !req
458. Me.Copy !req
459. Isn't she cute?Copy !req
460. I found her. Those spots
on her back look like wings.Copy !req
461. So I called her "Angel".Copy !req
462. But she's gone.Copy !req
463. Father.Copy !req
464. I stabbed my father.Copy !req
465. I can never go back.Copy !req
466. The baby? A gift from God.Copy !req
467. Give me a break.
I've got a family at home.Copy !req
468. Those children are my family!Copy !req
469. They went in there.Copy !req
470. - Hey! The fare!
- I'll be right back.Copy !req
471. Miyuki! Kiyoko!Copy !req
472. Miyuki! Kiyoko!Copy !req
473. Where are you?Copy !req
474. Kiyoko! Miyuki!Copy !req
475. How could you do this to me?Copy !req
476. It's your own fault!Copy !req
477. You never listen to anything I say!Copy !req
478. Use the scarf I made you
to mop up the blood!Copy !req
479. What have you done with Angel?Copy !req
480. Where is she? Where is my Angel?Copy !req
481. She's right here. Our angel.Copy !req
482. I'm hungry.
Make me some food.Copy !req
483. Why? What are you doing
in my house?Copy !req
484. Miyuki, take Kiyoko. I'll get dinner.Copy !req
485. Kiyoko! Miyuki!Copy !req
486. Uncle Bag?Copy !req
487. Oh, I've missed you, my little angel!Copy !req
488. I wish I was her mother,
but I'm just another queer.Copy !req
489. Miyuki...
I'm so glad you're safe.Copy !req
490. Where's the geezer?Copy !req
491. He could be dead, for all I care!Copy !req
492. I'm dying.Copy !req
493. Maybe he went home.Copy !req
494. Who cares?Copy !req
495. All he thinks about is himself.Copy !req
496. Yeah, Miss Hana, but you're in love
with him, aren't you?Copy !req
497. Don't be silly!
I like my men to be more "manly".Copy !req
498. The kind of man I like is slender,
middle-aged, tanned,Copy !req
499. with a divine square-back haircut
and a lower-town accentCopy !req
500. who says, "Ah, what the hell,"Copy !req
501. when I don't quite have the cab fare.Copy !req
502. So, what now, Miss Hana?Copy !req
503. Why are you calling me that?
"Uncle Bag" is fine.Copy !req
504. It's hard to say.Copy !req
505. I'm glad.Copy !req
506. He just died there?Copy !req
507. He was homeless.Copy !req
508. I might be next.Copy !req
509. Just do your job.Copy !req
510. Gin!Copy !req
511. Gin! Gin!Copy !req
512. Take it easy.Copy !req
513. Gin!Copy !req
514. Calm down!Copy !req
515. Where is that man of mine?Copy !req
516. Kiyo...Copy !req
517. If only tonight...Copy !req
518. I wanted to see you before I died.Copy !req
519. Kiyoko!Copy !req
520. What is your desire?
My magic, or an ambulance?Copy !req
521. - An ambulance.
- Well! Aren't you rude?Copy !req
522. What are we going to do?
Kiyoko can't sleep out on the street!Copy !req
523. The geezer's not here,
we're freezing, sleepy, hungry.Copy !req
524. This sucks!Copy !req
525. I guess there's no choice.Copy !req
526. I never thought I'd be here again.Copy !req
527. I'm sorry. We're closed
for a private party tonight...Copy !req
528. Hana?Copy !req
529. I know I have no right
to come strolling in now,Copy !req
530. but there's no one else
I can call on, "Mother"!Copy !req
531. Hana!Copy !req
532. Mother!Copy !req
533. Hana!Copy !req
534. Geezer?Copy !req
535. What happened, Gin?Copy !req
536. Some kids beat me up.Copy !req
537. I guess I'm just not an action hero.Copy !req
538. He said he knew you.Copy !req
539. But he said he was homeless,
you know.Copy !req
540. So am I.Copy !req
541. What? But why?Copy !req
542. Since Ken died, I'm like a canaryCopy !req
543. that's forgotten its song.Copy !req
544. You sing all the time!Copy !req
545. Isn't she cute?Copy !req
546. I wish I could have one!Copy !req
547. 80 Ken died, did he?Copy !req
548. AIDS?Copy !req
549. He slipped on the soap.Copy !req
550. Well, death is always
a hair's breadth away.Copy !req
551. But if you were in trouble,
why didn't you come back?Copy !req
552. We certainly had fun here, didn't we?Copy !req
553. In this old barCopy !req
554. I've had so much to drinkCopy !req
555. My old memoriesCopy !req
556. All start to blurCopy !req
557. My loverCopy !req
558. Has left meCopy !req
559. People call me notoriousCopy !req
560. Aw, you're ugly!Copy !req
561. Good for nothingCopy !req
562. Get off!Copy !req
563. Good for nothingCopy !req
564. What a terrible thing to sayCopy !req
565. Eat shit, you old fart!Copy !req
566. "Shit" I'll take, but "fart" I won't!Copy !req
567. I couldn't come back after I'd done that.Copy !req
568. A little bit of money took care of that.Copy !req
569. I'm just happy you're all right.Copy !req
570. Stop it!
You scare me when you start crying.Copy !req
571. What about that baby?
Is the girl its mother?Copy !req
572. Well...Copy !req
573. Where is your mother, anyway?Copy !req
574. Abandoned?Copy !req
575. Yes! I've been abandoned!Copy !req
576. Them's the breaks, I guess.Copy !req
577. I could see me in her.Copy !req
578. Born on the street,
and back there again.Copy !req
579. That's why I want to find her
a home full of love!Copy !req
580. All I ever wanted was love!Copy !req
581. OW!Copy !req
582. What the hell?Copy !req
583. The geezer's come out.Copy !req
584. Where are my clothes?Copy !req
585. Way to go, Gin!Copy !req
586. Come back any time.Copy !req
587. Thank you, Mother.Copy !req
588. My mother's white breath as she watches me
set out on a long journey.Copy !req
589. Oh, man!Copy !req
590. An empty building's always nice,
but look who got here first.Copy !req
591. I'd just love to fill up on some meat!Copy !req
592. Don't you dare!Copy !req
593. Just kidding!Copy !req
594. The snow's let up.
Miyuki, will you go shopping?Copy !req
595. Okay.Copy !req
596. Get me some sake.Copy !req
597. Just one.Copy !req
598. - No!
- I wish.Copy !req
599. "Honey, I'm home."Copy !req
600. You stayed in there?
You'd think you were homeless!Copy !req
601. Actually, we're looking for these people.Copy !req
602. Sachiko Nishizawa.Copy !req
603. Do you know her?Copy !req
604. She never paid me back for
her Neighbourhood Association dues.Copy !req
605. Are you a relative?Copy !req
606. No! We're acquaintances of a relative.Copy !req
607. Her husband was no better.Copy !req
608. Gambling day and night,
and mean when he drank.Copy !req
609. Living on his wife's earnings
and borrowed money.Copy !req
610. Where are they now?Copy !req
611. I wouldn't know.
Mrs Kurumizawa might.Copy !req
612. They left about three months ago.Copy !req
613. The house was seized for debt.
One night they just up and went.Copy !req
614. They were a nice couple at first,Copy !req
615. but it wasn't long
before they started fighting.Copy !req
616. That's poverty for you.Copy !req
617. All that debt didn't stop him
from lording it over her.Copy !req
618. Even the most dedicated wife
has her limits.Copy !req
619. You'd see bruises sometimes.Copy !req
620. The poor woman.Copy !req
621. Not on her, on him!Copy !req
622. Oh, dear!Copy !req
623. But his mother would always
take his side against her.Copy !req
624. His parents built them this house.Copy !req
625. - Where do they live?
- Mrs Yamanouchi might know.Copy !req
626. Her mother-in-law
was always complainingCopy !req
627. that she never did any housework.Copy !req
628. But her son was perfect, of course.Copy !req
629. Of course! That's why I told herCopy !req
630. she'd never see a grandchild
with his wife working in a club.Copy !req
631. But she did get pregnant.Copy !req
632. Well, a man and a woman...Copy !req
633. They can always find time
to do what they must!Copy !req
634. SHINKOCHO 1-2-25,
MAISON HAPPINESS, APT. 203Copy !req
635. What if they ran out
from this new place too?Copy !req
636. What a horrible man!Copy !req
637. Poor Sachiko! Working to pay off
her husband's gambling debts!Copy !req
638. Right.Copy !req
639. But I never thought
of abandoning the kid.Copy !req
640. - Huh?
- Nothing.Copy !req
641. That's no reason to just dump the kid.Copy !req
642. I've said that all along.Copy !req
643. ANGEL HAS COME HOME.
DAD.Copy !req
644. Doesn't it ever get tired of snowing?Copy !req
645. Thank you.Copy !req
646. I wonder how we look to them.Copy !req
647. Like a burn, a queer,
a runaway and a foundling.Copy !req
648. Kiyoko is God's messenger.
We're her servants.Copy !req
649. Unpaid servants.Copy !req
650. Paying for a father's sins.Copy !req
651. Yeah, if her father had been
any good at all,Copy !req
652. we wouldn't be going through all this.Copy !req
653. Even a good-for-nothing father
never forgets a child.Copy !req
654. I'm going out.Copy !req
655. What's the matter with her?Copy !req
656. A child never forgets its parents.Copy !req
657. I never stop wanting
to see my daughter, just once.Copy !req
658. So she's alive?Copy !req
659. Yeah.Copy !req
660. And your wife?Copy !req
661. I'm sure she's remarried
and living happily.Copy !req
662. Hello. It's me, Miyuki.Copy !req
663. Why did you split up?Copy !req
664. - Drinking and gambling.
- What?Copy !req
665. Just like...Copy !req
666. I'm a louse.Copy !req
667. But I've always wanted to do
something for her as a father,Copy !req
668. even just a little.Copy !req
669. When I was gambling,
this would have been nothing.Copy !req
670. Now I've had to sweat blood
just to save 30,000 yen.Copy !req
671. That's great, Gin!Copy !req
672. - We can stuff ourselves!
- Stuff you!Copy !req
673. Ishida speaking.Copy !req
674. Miyuki? Is that you?Copy !req
675. Are you all right?Copy !req
676. I'm sorry!Copy !req
677. I'm sorry!Copy !req
678. I'm sorry!Copy !req
679. Excuse me,
but if you wouldn't mind.Copy !req
680. "Get out," you mean?Copy !req
681. Other customers might like to sit down.Copy !req
682. - There's hardly anyone here...
- You guys stink!Copy !req
683. What are you?
Homeless or something?Copy !req
684. Who are you looking at?Copy !req
685. Hold it, you!Copy !req
686. Hold it, I said, you low-life!Copy !req
687. It's New Year's Sale time
at The Food Store!Copy !req
688. Come to The Food Store
for all your special New Year's needs!Copy !req
689. See in the New Year with your family!Copy !req
690. Call an ambulance, quick.Copy !req
691. Right!Copy !req
692. I knew it! Kiyoko really is
the messenger of God!Copy !req
693. - Hey!
- Miss Hana!Copy !req
694. Hey!Copy !req
695. Hana!Copy !req
696. Following a recent gangland
shooting incident,Copy !req
697. police are seeking a fugitive
thought to be Latin American.Copy !req
698. Mitsuo Hiruta, shot three times,Copy !req
699. in protecting the leader
of his syndicate,Copy !req
700. will be questioned
after he recovers from his wounds.Copy !req
701. Isn't she cute!
When was she born?Copy !req
702. Not long ago, I guess.Copy !req
703. So the mother...?Copy !req
704. I'm not.Copy !req
705. - What's her name?
- Kiyoko.Copy !req
706. That's my name too.
What a coincidence.Copy !req
707. Your friend is very weak.Copy !req
708. Make sure he gets rest
and proper nutrition.Copy !req
709. Doctor!Copy !req
710. Believe it or not, we're homeless.Copy !req
711. I'm just a doctor.Copy !req
712. Rest and nutrition don't fit
with our lifestyle, you realise.Copy !req
713. I can try to cure disease.
Lifestyle is something you have to fix.Copy !req
714. All anyone can do is their best.Copy !req
715. Take care.Copy !req
716. The bill for today is 29,830 yen.Copy !req
717. Bring your health-insurance card
and you'll get a refund.Copy !req
718. I'm sorry, Gin!Copy !req
719. Stop crying!
You'll get the bills all wet.Copy !req
720. That's 30,000 yen.Copy !req
721. Kiyoko?Copy !req
722. Dad?Copy !req
723. So you took up nursing.Copy !req
724. I see.Copy !req
725. I'm glad you're well.Copy !req
726. Oh, yeah, I'm just great.
How's your mother?Copy !req
727. Fine.Copy !req
728. Yeah? That's good.Copy !req
729. What are you doing now?Copy !req
730. I'm in recycling.
I had to drop something off here.Copy !req
731. You must hate me.Copy !req
732. I was never
any kind of a father to you.Copy !req
733. But that 30,000 yen was money
I'd saved up for you.Copy !req
734. You may not believe it.Copy !req
735. I always wanted to see you.Copy !req
736. When I was little,
Mum and I searched for you.Copy !req
737. We even checked unidentified corpses.Copy !req
738. After you disappeared,
Mum ran the store herself.Copy !req
739. The store?Copy !req
740. It was hard for a woman
to run a bicycle shop alone.Copy !req
741. That's not quite the same
as a bicycle racer.Copy !req
742. The man you owed money to was shot
and wounded the other day, you know.Copy !req
743. He lived?Copy !req
744. That's a relief.Copy !req
745. I thought you'd say that.Copy !req
746. I ran up the debts, not him.Copy !req
747. Thank that doctor for me.
He seems like a nice guy.Copy !req
748. I'm getting married.Copy !req
749. Oh? That's good.Copy !req
750. To him.Copy !req
751. Great! But isn't he about my age?Copy !req
752. He's been married.
His daughter got sick and died,Copy !req
753. and his wife followed her.Copy !req
754. That man makes me so mad!Copy !req
755. Aren't you moved?Copy !req
756. - Here's the address and phone number.
- Yours?Copy !req
757. The old house is gone.Copy !req
758. Even if you can't now,
call me sometime.Copy !req
759. Kiyoko!Copy !req
760. I've had about all I can stand!Copy !req
761. - Miss Hana?
- Telling us you were a racer!Copy !req
762. I was always at the track.Copy !req
763. Yeah, betting!Copy !req
764. And your debts snowballed
so you couldn't face your familyCopy !req
765. and you ran and hid in a cardboard box!Copy !req
766. Yes, damn it!Copy !req
767. That's what your father is!Copy !req
768. He can't bet, he's spineless,
his feet stink and he can't drink!Copy !req
769. He kills off his wife and daughter
to buy sympathy!Copy !req
770. He said you had an incurable disease!Copy !req
771. With a father like that,
you have my sympathy!Copy !req
772. Is this how you repay me?Copy !req
773. Repay you?Copy !req
774. Am I hearing right?Copy !req
775. If we're talking about debt,
I'm waiting for my change!Copy !req
776. Debt's a concept
you don't even understand!Copy !req
777. You understand how to troll
through garbage cans!Copy !req
778. And how to get in debt
and how to make babies.Copy !req
779. Though you're not too good
at raising them, are you?Copy !req
780. And your debts
you shove off on your wife.Copy !req
781. Always running away,
never doing anything right!Copy !req
782. Running away's
the only racing you ever did!Copy !req
783. Miyuki! We're leaving!Copy !req
784. Miss Hana?Copy !req
785. I guess he's better.Copy !req
786. Should you have said that
in front of her?Copy !req
787. If she's his daughter,
she'll forgive him.Copy !req
788. Being able to speak freelyCopy !req
789. is the lifeblood of love.Copy !req
790. Maybe I'm naive.Copy !req
791. So you're in love with him?Copy !req
792. Don't be silly.
I'm the Weeping Red Devil.Copy !req
793. - What?
- It's a story I love.Copy !req
794. There was a red devil who wanted
to be friends with people.Copy !req
795. But since he was a devil,
no one would go near him.Copy !req
796. 80 his friend the blue devil
made a plan.Copy !req
797. He'd wreak havoc among the people,
and the red devil would save them.Copy !req
798. TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING,Copy !req
799. SOMEONE'S BOUND TO GET HURT.Copy !req
800. TO SACRIFICE SOMETHING.Copy !req
801. The plan worked.Copy !req
802. But the blue devil had to go away,
so they'd never know it was a trick.Copy !req
803. It's a sad story.Copy !req
804. But that means you leave.
Where will you go?Copy !req
805. It's best for everyone
when they're with their family.Copy !req
806. Soon we'll find Kiyoko's mother.Copy !req
807. And then what?
You don't have a real family!Copy !req
808. RARE "LINE OF ONES"Copy !req
809. Numbers have been drawn for
the annual New Year's Jumbo Lottery.Copy !req
810. Top prize in the 200-million-yen
lottery is a very rare number.Copy !req
811. Group 11, number 111, 111Copy !req
812. is worth 50 million yen.Copy !req
813. A different group pays
100,000 yen.Copy !req
814. To repeat,
the winning prize number is...Copy !req
815. This just in.Copy !req
816. Police have released a sketch
of an infant takenCopy !req
817. from a hospital
in Tokyo's Shinagawa Ward.Copy !req
818. We've come all the way here,
but we don't have her address!Copy !req
819. The geezer's got it! Let's go back.Copy !req
820. Where are you going?Copy !req
821. - The police!
- What? You hated that idea!Copy !req
822. I was just ego-tripping.Copy !req
823. Now I want to apologise
to her parents.Copy !req
824. They might not be able to sleep
waiting for news about her.Copy !req
825. That's what we said
from the very start!Copy !req
826. They might even be
about to commit suicide!Copy !req
827. I've done something
that can't be taken back!Copy !req
828. I'll throw myself in this river.Copy !req
829. I'll step neatly out of my shoes,
stand on the handrail, and be at peace.Copy !req
830. But then I'll see a baby's face
on the water.Copy !req
831. No! While I see this child's face,
I cannot die!Copy !req
832. Hey, you!Copy !req
833. No!Copy !req
834. - You're too young for this!
- Please! Let me die!Copy !req
835. You!Copy !req
836. Sachiko Nishizawa...Copy !req
837. What were you thinking of?Copy !req
838. Is that an apology?Copy !req
839. If we hadn't found this child,
she would've frozen to death!Copy !req
840. It wasn't me!Copy !req
841. My husband took her away
when I wasn't there!Copy !req
842. I've looked and looked!Copy !req
843. Is that true?Copy !req
844. All I've suffered
on account of that man!Copy !req
845. "Hi, Mum!"Copy !req
846. God really loves this child, you know.Copy !req
847. I want you to give her lots of love too.Copy !req
848. Do right by her, or you'll pay for it.Copy !req
849. I'm so sorry!Copy !req
850. I'm sorry!Copy !req
851. Mrs Nishizawa!Copy !req
852. What are you doing in here?
Get out of here! Get out!Copy !req
853. Wait! I'm no thief.Copy !req
854. You're lying! Get out!Copy !req
855. Where's the baby?Copy !req
856. Did an old queer and a girl come
