- Hello.

- How do you do?

Is Natsuko here?

Yes, but...

What's wrong?

Mr. Kuriyama has been arrested.

She's broke. She can't work

in her current condition.

So what?

She's desperate. She spends most

of her time drinking with men.

Fusako, Do you feel well?

I learned everything.

I can't bear it any longer.

Teach me your job.

Don't be ridiculous.

Do you want to drink?

Prepare your stuff.

You'll have your child.

- Where are you taking me?

- To a house for women.

I don't like it.

Come with me. Get up!

No, I don't want.

When will I be able to get married?

Get up.

The director is coming.

Hello.

How is the work going?

Everything is fine?

Yes, thank you.

I brought you this present.

Thank you, it's nice.

What is it?

Potatoes.

You like potatoes.

It's very good.

Do you feel good? Isn't it better

than in the hospital?

It's boring here.

Don't say that.

A respectable life seems

boring at first.

But it becomes interesting

once you get into it.

You! How do you do?

Much better...

Thanks to you!

Continue with the consultations.

- Give me a cigarette.

- All right.

Take heart!

You must never let yourself go.

Oh, you're here?

Hello, Mr the Director.

You caused us a lot of troubles.

Forgive me.

- Since when are you here?

- I just arrived.

- I'm happy for you.

- I'm bringing my sister.

- I want her to have her baby here.

- Good idea.

She had some labour pains.

Will she give birth?

Please, I'm counting on you.

Natsuko, pull yourself together.

A bowl! Hot water!

Help me.

She's only 8 months pregnant.

Will it be all right?

The baby wants to get out.

You, stay outside.

Not yet?

You had a child?

How was it?

A great hardship!

You must be happy when it's over...

Yes, when the baby is crying.

Quiet!

Think carefully.

A child is innocent

when he's born.

No matter who the parents are!

Must we degrade such a pure life?

No. Make sure that

it doesn't happen.

Men take advantage of sincere women.

I only think about vengeance.

What did you get out of it?

What's left in you?

A wounded and humiliated woman.

It's done. The mother is fine.

And the baby?

She wasn't fully recovered.

Unfortunately!

I'm sorry, Natsuko.

Maybe it's better this way.

A premature child rarely survives.

I'll have a child.

Next time I'll get married

and I'll have a child.

I'll have one.

You're right.

You'll stay here for a while.

You must not give up hope

even tho you've suffered.

You must become new women.

Not only must you

preserve your body,

but you must also help

to build a better world

where everybody will be happy.

Fusako!

Come spend some time with

a nice girl.

Sir, you look happy.

Sir...

Come quickly.

There's a new girl

- Where is she?

- Near the waste ground.

Fusako! Come quickly!

- Where to?

- To the waste ground over there.

What are you doing?

Where do you come from?

Show yourself.

You!

What's going on?

Nothing. Leave me.

I learned that you ran away

from the house.

It's not good.

I'll go with you.

What about you?

You're the leader

of the whores now?

Leave me!

I'm enjoying my youth.

I've suffered enough already

to be accepted in your clan.

I spent days at the police station.

Then come!

Do you want to live in this hell?

Come, come over here.

Get sick, lose your sight.

Have your heart and bones rot!

Give birth to a monster.

Destroy all men and women of Japan.

Stupid! Imbecile!

Let's go!

Where are you going Fusako?

You want to leave us?

We'll give you a farewell present.

All right!

Hit me, beat me up.

I've had enough.

Aren't you tired of it?

My dear!

Women must not be like that anymore.

What?

Let's go, help me!

Stop! That's enough!

What's the use of torturing her?

What she said makes us sick.

Let her go.

Go away Fusako.

Don't ever come back.

Have a respectable life.

I don't know what to do...

Fusako!

Let's go.
