but the problem is within

each individual.

We must put an end to this trade

to stop this spirit from spreading.

Our association will carry

on with its goal everywhere.

Sorry, Madam.

Doctor, it's about

Natsuko Kimishima.

I'm listening.

She's my sister.

She told me.

Good.

Is she sick?

She has syphilis.

Also, she's pregnant.

Pregnant?

Take good care of her.

I understand your principle.

But we can't solve everything

with principles.

Like this girl's case.

Yes, she's Kuriyama's child.

I didn't realize.

My periods aren't regular,

I thought my sickness

was due to alcohol.

My situation doesn't allow

me to have a baby.

But I've changed since I'm pregnant.

The doctor said that

I could be cured.

I'm carrying a child.

Stupid! Why do you want to have

a child from such a scumbag?

The child is innocent.

I could leave if someone

would vouch for me.

I'll call Kuriyama.

Let's leave together.

He'll vouch for you too.

Go back alone if you want.

- Fusako!

- Are you here?

- Are you all right?

- As usual.

Cigarettes?

No, give them to the others.

- Do you want to shoot up?

- No.

Tell me what you want.

Thank you.

I don't need anything.

How is it going?

Not good at all.

I'll starve if it

doesn't get better.

Do you have children?

I lost them during the war.

My dear... You too!

Why are you talking like that?

You have black thoughts.

Not at all. I diot!

Don't worry.

Take care. I'll be back.

Thank you.

Kimi Yamada.

Fusako Owada.

She's not here.

She's lucky!

Are you coming?

At this hour?

You don't have the money!

Poor bum!

The cops got up my nose.

Say something.

Ask for my forgiveness at least!

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Why?

I saw my sister.

I know everything.

Aren't you ashamed?

You're kidding!

I took care of her.

I did her a favor.

She should thank me instead.

I took care of two sisters.

You'll never find such a good man.

It's all your fault!

I was ready to support her.

She would have become a whore

without me anyway.

We're not animals.

I can't stand you anymore.

Then go away. It's not like

there's a shortage of girls.

I won't leave.

Why?

I must get better.

And...

What?

Speak.

I'm going to have a baby.

You're pregnant?

Are you happy?

Have an abortion!

Are you serious?

Of course.

It's better to do it fast.

- No.

- Do it.

No way!

Mr. Kuriyama,

we have the proof

that you're involved

in opium trafficking.

It's not true.

- Here's the warrant.

- There's no proof.

The smartest one

is sometimes wrong.

You'll take at least two years.

Come.

I'm with you.

Is it your wife?

She doesn't know anything.

You'll have to testify.
