He's a damn kid.

"If you follow the path of honesty, you will

achieve your goal." So my wish will come true.

Why did you want that so badly?

When did you frequent that shrine?

A long time ago.

So you're revisiting the

places from your past?

Is this a trip of memories?

Why?

Why are you doing this?

Shut up.

So hard to talk to.

What's spicy?

Nothing.

Explain it to me, what's spicy?

It's too much of a pain.

Youngsters these days immediately say that.

You're the one that runs your

mouth off when you feel like it.

Just how twisted is your personality?

I told you to speak to me respectfully.

That was dangerous!

Were you surprised?

What!?

I'm talking because I'm getting sleepy.

If you value your life, sit in the front.

Because it's hard to talk to you.

So, why are you revisiting

all these places?

I've decided to live in

an island in the south.

By island in the south, you mean Okinawa?

Does it matter?

Alone?

Yes.

I'm sick of it. This country

and the people in it.

That's why you're revisiting

these places from your past.

Yes.

I honestly thought you only

had a few months to live.

But you don't give off that feeling.

Even if that was the case, I wouldn't

struggle against the inevitable.

Everybody dies in the end.

You and I are no exception.

How old is your daughter?

What's the present?

Does it matter?

It doesn't matter, as

long as I get my money.

Do you like money that much?

Is there anyone who doesn't?

What?

I'm tired.

I'll rest for a bit.

[Kotobuki Inn]

What is this place?

Hey, just what is this place?

Weren't we going to eat?

Let me help you.

It's this way.

Huh? What are you doing?

Stop it!

Give the bag back!

You're Shinozaki right? Welcome.

I'm sorry for the sudden request,

even making you clean the room.

I've prepared the room in the back.

Prepared?

And who's this?

Well, it's a long story.

Ohh...

There's something I need you to do.

No, I can't do this.

Come here.

Now, let's go.

I got it, I'll go! I'm going damn it!

This takes me back.

Yes, my mother used to talk a

lot about you, Shinozaki-san.

Your mother helped me a lot back then.

It really is nostalgic.

Do you really remember me?

Of course I do! What was it again?

Are you talking about that game?

Yes, that game!

Was it playing cards...?

Or was it Othello...?

Baseball pinball?

Baseball pinball! That's really nostalgic.

That's right, baseball pinball.

It's so nostalgic.

Who was that person that lived next door?

It's on the tip of my tongue...

He-chan?

Yes, He-chan! We played together.

Even though we had nothing

back then, it was still fun.

Yes, it really was fun.

It's like a time slip.

Yes, a time slip.

After my mother passed away, the boarding house

was closed and used as a warehouse for my store.

What kind store do you have...?

That's right, the money I promised.

Sorry to trouble you for this.

Then please enjoy your stay.

Should I prepare two futons here?

Eh!?

Leave one in the next room.

If you need anything, I'll

be in the main house.

Please ask if you need anything.

This is the room where I used to live.

I heard it was being torn down, so I

wanted to sleep here one last time.

I paid 500,000 for one night.

I need you to do something.

This is your job.

What's this?

Dinner.

Don't come back until you have

all the things on that list.

Okay?

Canned sardines.

Yakisoba Taro.

Squid delicacy?

What's that?

There are no problems on my end.

I don't have any relatives and

nobody will be troubled by this.

No, I won't regret this.

I'll see this through to the end.

Bye.

[Help me]

What is this?

What are you going to do

if an incident occurs?

Don't worry.

Did he really live here?

He says he did, so isn't it true?

Although he might be senile.

He only gave you 50,000 for

cleaning and furnishing the place!

Bringing a young woman with

him, who knows what he's doing.

50,000?

If you're worried that

much, check for yourself!

Vanessa?

I'll visit the store tomorrow.

Let's go for sushi.

I had some money come in.

Lecherous old man.

No? What? You want Yakiniku?

I used to dream about

stuffing myself with this.

With this food?

Yes.

After leaving the

countryside when I was 18,

I rented this room with my friends.

On our payday we celebrated

by eating and drinking.

I come from a family of poor farmers.

I had 8 siblings.

I hated the countryside, so I came here

immediately after graduating high school.

And worked my butt off.

I wanted to be rich no matter what.

Even though I can eat whatever I want now,

I still crave things

like this occasionally.

I see.

What? Aren't you going to eat?

No... I'm done.

What?

I know, try adding this. It's pretty good.

Here.

Are you a monkey, using

something like that?

What's that supposed to mean?

Hurry up and clean this up.

Hey, you said you wanted to eat this.

Do you know how many stores

I visited to buy all this?

That's a given, it's your job after all.

You were happily eating it

just a few moments ago too.

Shut up.

I don't know how great

you're supposed to be,

but isn't this why people

only come to you for money?

I don't want to hear that from you, thief.

You had to pay this thief to

even make this trip possible.

That man earlier didn't even remember you.

He was laughing in the back.

He was only playing along for the money,

but you were happily talking

about nostalgia like an idiot.

Just what do you think you know?

You made a living by flattering and flirting

with men didn't you? You stupid woman.

I quit, I quit, I quit!

Like I can work like this.

Running away like you always do?

I wonder what your parents would think.

Sorry to disappoint you,

but they're dead already.

Because I stabbed them.

Yes?

Saori-chan?

Did you stop working at the store?

Where are you? It's unfair to

disappear without saying a word.

Nowhere in particular.

You can't run from me.

I'll chase you til the ends of the earth.

I didn't run away. I found an easy target.

I'll return with a lot of money.

Are you telling the truth?

I'll be waiting, Saori-chan.

[If you can imagine it, you can do it]

How stupid.

Hello?

Shinozaki Zenzou-san?

Who is this?

This is the Hiranuma Police Department.

Does Yamane Saori work for you?

The guy was in the wrong for persistently trying

to pick you up, but that's no excuse to hit him.

It's your fault in the first place for

walking around aimlessly at this time.

Despite what happened in the past, someone has given

you a chance by hiring you. So take it seriously.

Hey, are you listening?

Yes.

And you, sorry for the trouble.

You?

Why are you addressing me like that?

And what she did was self-defense.

You grabbed the wrong person.

Then isn't it logical to escort her home?

What did you say?

And what's with your arrogant attitude?

Are the police that great?

Even when you're clearly brainless?

If you were my employee, you would be fired in three days.

No, not three days, in half a day!
