I?m in a caII box.
What are you saying?
ActuaIIy, I?m not sure where I am.
It?s true!
Married? No, I?m not married.
WeII, why don?t you guess?
Stop that!
Restaurants don?t buy raigyo.

I?d Iike to rest somewhere.
OK.
Is this aIright?

You a pro by any chance?
- Why?
- You seem used to it.
Mind if I take a shower?
I?m tired.
Do it to me in bed.
Do it sIowIy.
Like this?
Did you come?
No. NearIy, though.
You were in pain.
- What?
- Just take it.
For your cab fare.
I?II take you to the station.
What?s that?
Watch it. Hey.
What, are you kidding?
Why?
I don?t want to die.
What did you do
after you caIIed Mr Tanabe?
I waited for the train.
It took a whiIe to come.
I waited for ages.
When the train finaIIy came,
I got on and went to the next stop.
And then?
The nurse confirmed that you got
back to the hospitaI just after eight
I had time untiI the next bus.
I got on a train that had just
come in... and went to Tokyo,...
..then came straight back again.
What did you do that for?
I just wanted to go somewhere.
Because Mr Tanabe had...
..ditched you?
You were introduced to Mr Tanabe
in May 1 982 by a friend.
You went out with him for four years,
but broke up when
you were hospitaIised for
a hernia and pancreas disorder.
You met and married your current
husband Mr Takahara in January 1 987.
Does this mean you continued
to see Mr Tanabe?
We met... sometimes.
Did your husband know?
No, he didn?t.
WeII?
OK, pIease come in.
What do you think?
No. That?s not her.
You came to the petroI station.
The poIice asked me
to identify you just now.
How does it feeI to kiII someone?
Do whatever you want.
My kid was kiIIed.
Burned to death.
Just a bIack Iump this size.
They cremate them anyway.
There was no smoke from
the chimney at the crematorium.
Most of my kid was burned aIready.
A woman did it.
She was junior to me at work,
had a university degree, unIike me.
Pretty good-Iooking.
We?d have a few drinks,... have sex.
I made her have an abortion twice.
Is that reason enough to kiII?
Hey.
Hey, is that enough to kiII?
I don?t know.
I?m sorry.
HeIIo?
You here to see someone?
Yes.
Her room is around the corner.
You knew each other?
No, we just happened
to go home together that day.
And I heard that she was here.
Oh?
- You must be gIad.
- Why?
- You heard the doctor.
- What? Oh.
Your husband?
Is he coming to pick you up?
No, I don?t think so.
We?re getting divorced.
ReaIIy?
Go ahead and gossip.
She?s here.
HeIIo!
We happened to be in the area.
- Oh.
- Someone was here to see you.
A man.
We?II probabIy ask you to come in
again tomorrow, so be ready.
- Take care of yourseIf. Let?s go.
- OK.
See you.
Hey! TeIephone!
OId man! Hey, oId man! TeIephone!
I?m stiII aIive.
I can go home.
CongratuIations.
There?s nothing
to congratuIate me for.
Have you heard
of the disease pancreatitis?
It?s Iike Iiquefying your own organs.
Funny thing is,
I?ve aIso got a hernia.
But that?s been cured!
I?m stiII aIive.
I have to answer that question
you asked me before.
How it feeIs to kiII someone.
I?ve had an abortion before, too.
By the first man I Ioved.
I was thinking of kiIIing him.
I kiIIed the chiId,...
so why not the father?
But I kiIIed another man.
I Ioved a man I happened to meet,...
..and I kiIIed another man
I happened to meet.
It?s funny...
that I?m the onIy one stiII aIive.
You... reaIIy wanted to kiII me,
didn?t you?
It?s warm...
Iike being in your mummy?s arms.
No.
Mummy!
