be solved with money.

I want my husband back.

But of course I will

have to do something,

because if not

The money you give me

cannot help me...

leave the pain behind.

Although I don't know

what else to do.

Please, forget what happened.

I will try to forget it as well.

I suffer too!

Who can forget something like this?

I think I should go

to see her.

I think I should go to see her

and apologize.

No, don't do it.

It wouldn't do any good,

thrust me.

Poor son of mine.

I can't see you like this.

Calm down, it's all ok.

Everything will work out.

I will overcome this.

Mrs. Yumiko,

you have a visit.

- Really? Who is it?

- It's Mr. Mishima's mother.

Mr. Mishima's mother?

- Another drink.

- No, thanks, thank you very much.

- Come on, drink and listen to him.

- All right.

Honestly, I believe this time

you are asking too much from me.

You exaggerate.

Somebody on your position

can help me.

If I own the forest, the business

will work and everybody will win.

Ok, I'll try.

Go call Yumiko,

tell her Mr. Inohue is here.

- No, it's ok. I have to go now.

- Don't leave!

At least give her the present.

I have only come to ask you

to forgive my son.

He came home drunk

last night, like many others.

It's been a while now...

I see him very worried.

He spends the night crying.

If he found out

If he found out

I came to see you,...

I'm sure he would get

really mad at me.

But I can't

I can't see him

suffer like this.

I know words don't

make up for anything, but...

I ask you to forgive him,

please.

Look, everything is

in the past now.

Now if you excuse me

Mr. Inohue is here.

Don't you want to see him?

Come say "hello".

He says he's going to give

you a present.

I don't want presents.

- I cannot accept anything from him.

- Sure you can accept it.

You'd help my man only by entering

to say "hello". Just to salute him, eh?

I won't marry again,

you already know that.

Don't be stupid,

who is talking about marrying?

You come?

You are such a stubborn!

All right, whatever.

- You aren't mad?

- Who is that woman?

I'm sorry.

- Have you already eaten?

- Yes.

Listen, Mishima.

The manager called from Tokyo

this morning and said

that you have requested

the transfer. Is that true?

Yes, Sir.

Excuse me for not having told you.

You have given life

to our office...

and I thank

you for that.

Nevertheless,

I also understand that

you don't like to live

in a small town like this one.

No. It's not that.

- Are you going out?

- Yes.

See you later.

- Has that lady left?

- Yes.

Ok. Listen, I wanted

to tell you something...

The girls at the club give a party,

would you like to go?

The girls at the club?

All the hotel owners

are members.

We give a party every year

to drown our sorrows.

- I really need to laugh.

- That's what I wanted to hear.

Let's have some fun, eh?

Listen, Mr. Inohue is still here.

Don't you want to see him?

- You are stubborn too!

- You didn't know that?

Clients are going to be here soon.

Receive them, ok?

Wait. Let me serve you,

I know what you drink.

- Your sister told me. Come on.

- Thanks.

She also told me

your husband died in an accident.

Yes.

- Water, please.

- Yes.

Mrs. Eda.

Are you ok?

I am not Mrs. Eda.

I am Yumiko Shinoe.

Yes, of course.

Be careful.

Leave me.

It would have never imagined

that I would see you here.

I came to bring

some clients.

- They book here often.

- All right.

And I also wanted

to see you.

I, on the contrary,

didn't want to see you.

Your mother came

to see me last week.

She told me a lot about you.

I'm sorry.

It was all her idea.

She explained me some

things about you.

That you have always been

a good guy,...

that you didn't cry at the hospital,

that you are honest

Why do we have to meet?

I try to forget you

and you show up again.

Go away and don't come back.

Go far away...

so I don't have

to see you again.

Yumiko!

Get ready, come on.

- Have any clients arrived?

- Mr. Mishima. Do you know him?

Yes.

Have this, drink.

- And you?

- Thank you very much.

He's from Meiji commercial company,

we have to look after him.

His company receives

many clients,...

we have to make

a good impression.

But tell me the truth,

where do you know him from?

Tokyo.

Don't tell me he's

an old love...

A national park is ok,...

but you could have

some geishas.

What do you think?

Am I right?

Seriously, isn't there

any geishas?

No.

Excuse me.

So you knew

Mr. Mishima in Tokyo, eh?

In which part of Tokyo

did you meet?

How intimate

have you been?

- Could you bring more sake?

- Yes.

Don't run away now.

Mr. Mishima,...

could we say she was

just an acquaintance?

- That is right.

- I doubt it very much.

- Just visiting?

- Yes.

Thanks.

See you later.

Excuse me.

- Have this, do you want some?

- No.

I have come to say goodbye.

I've asked them to transfer me,

as you wanted.

I hope you feel better...

now that I won't be here.

Seat down.

Look,...

what happened to

your husband was an accident.

And I want you to know that

although you don't say anything,...

it will always be a heavy cross

for me. I am the only culprit.

That's right.

After a time, you refused

to accept my money,...

you said that you

no longer wanted it...

because you wanted

to forget the past,...

but that's a lie,

you enjoy torturing me.

That's not true.

I did it to forget.

I wanted to forget everything,

that's why I rejected the money.

Why the cold stare then?

Look, I wish you the best,...

I would do anything

to make you happy.

You want me to go away...

and you see, I go away.

But your stare...

is always torturing me.

Mrs. Shinoe,...

smile.

Smile, please.

Take care of my clients.

- A coffee.

- Yes.

You forgot this at the hotel.

I found it.

Well, I thank you very much.

I was drunk the other day.

It did not mean

what I said.

I apologize.

It's ok.

When I got drunk

the other night...

I didn't behave

properly either.

How rude you are!

- Pardon?

- Nothing.

It forgot this is your

home town.

People may seem

a little coarse,...

but they're good

people, I can assure you.

Yes:
In fact, it's the same

in my home town.

Mr. Mishima.

- The director is waiting for you.

- Ok, I'll be right there.

Before I leave...

I would like to take a boat

ride on the lake.

Would you like to join me?

Yes,...

of course.

Have they told you

when you'll leave?

Not yet, but I'll know soon.

I am glad

we have been able

to meet like this.

Have you heard

about Nishino?

No, I never hear about

anything!

Has anything

happened to him?

They transferred him

to Lahore last year.

The consulate informed that he

disappeared a few weeks ago.

They say he suffered

a nervous breakdown.

And disappeared?

Well, he was completely crazy.

The company wants

to replace to him.

They chose you.

I would prefer to help it.

Will I go to Lahore?

It is a horrible place,

it is in West Pakistan.

A solitary office, and it's where
