10. Five measly mon a piece.

11. To think I serve the Shogun.

12. Iwa, do we have any sake?

13. Oh, I'm afraid we're out of it right now.

14. Shall I call a masseur?

15. You might feel better then.

16. Get my things, would you?

17. Oh, you're going out?

18. It's a nice day for once.

19. I'm going fishing.

20. I'm sorry about the sake, it was careless of me.

21. I'll make sure to get some in.

22. I'll bring you back a fish for dinner.

23. Don't stay out too late, will you?

24. I told you my uncle is coming.

25. Your uncle? You called him, didn't you?

26. No, he said he had something to talk to you about.

27. That's odd.

28. What could he have to say to me?

29. Goodbye.

30. Hello, it's me.

31. Are you in?

32. Oh, hello Osode.

33. - Off to the market? - Yes.

34. You're a great help.

35. - Is he here? - No.

36. He's gone out.

37. Again?

38. He leaves everything to you.

39. I'm sorry about that.

40. Oh no, it's me who should apologise for being such a poor employee.

41. Well, take your time.

42. Thank you.

43. Osode?

44. It's just...

45. Please bring her some comfort.

46. Excuse me?

47. I'm sorry, I've overstepped the mark.

48. Osode, is something wrong?

49. Hello.

50. - How are you feeling? - Alright, thank you.

51. I'm getting better slowly.

52. - But I'm not there yet. - I see.

53. It takes a while to recover from a miscarriage.

54. Take care, won't you?

55. lemon's gone out again?

56. Yes.

57. Out every day enjoying himself, what is he thinking?

58. Don't talk about him like that.

59. He has no position and we're penniless.

60. I can understand how he feels.

61. What can we do?

62. If only we could have a child.

63. Oh, that's right.

64. What do you think of this?

65. Maybe it's a little bold.

66. Oh, for me?

67. Perhaps it is a little.

68. No, it's perfect.

69. Yomoshichi picked it out for you.

70. Oh, I see. Thank you.

71. I haven't been able to do anything for you since you left home,

72. yet you're always thinking of me.

73. I'm really very grateful to you and Yomoshichi.

74. Oh what are you saying? You're still young and beautiful.

75. You should dress up once in a while.

76. Maybe your husband would stop going out so much.

77. I don't think it suits me.

78. - Excuse me, is your husband at home? - Come in.

79. Sorry to bother you, is your husband in?

80. He's gone fishing.

81. Fishing? He'll be at the canal, then.

82. Thanks.

83. Wasn't that Naosuke?

84. He's with Akiyama now, right?

85. It can't be anything good if he's involved.

86. What a worry.

87. Tamiya, something big's going down. You've got to come with me.

88. Be quiet, they're about to bite.

89. Akiyama and Sekiguchi are in big trouble.

90. We're done for if you don't come.

91. Who do you think you are?

92. Who cares whether or not we touched your sword?

93. Getting worked up over something so trivial,

94. is this fitting behaviour for a man who serves the Shogun?

95. Are you making fun of us rural samurai?

96. Oh, no. Of course not. We're so sorry.

97. That's it. I'll have your topknots.

98. Oh, Tamiya!

99. Well, then.

100. Who do you work for?

101. We'll take it up with him.

102. Please forgive us.

103. We can't tell you.

104. If you want to make this go away, make it worth our while.

105. Alright, alright. We will.

106. But please don't force us to give up our boss.

107. Hey, Tamiya. Where are you going?

108. We got this for you.

109. Uncle,

110. please don't tell him I called you.

111. Oh, I see.

112. I want him to think it came from you.

113. Don't worry, I understand.

114. - I'm back. - Alright.

115. Welcome home.

116. - Is your uncle here? - He's waiting for you through there.

117. It's raining again.

118. You got back just in time.

119. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

120. I hear you go out a lot these days.

121. I'm sure you must be running around looking for a new position.

122. How is it going?

123. Have you found anything promising?

124. Not a thing.

125. Nothing at all?

126. I can't believe it all came to nothing when you made such an effort.

127. I've given up now.

128. What?

129. Just like that?

130. You're really saying you've tried everything?

131. - Yes. - You fool.

132. The Tamiya family may not be prominent, but it has a noble history.

133. If you marry into a family like that, shouldn't you grasp every last straw?

134. How else will you please your ancestors?

135. And not only that,

136. if you carry on like this, you won't be able to live a life

137. befitting of a samurai.

138. That cannot happen.

139. You're barely getting by.

140. Just getting through each day is a constant struggle.

141. How can you hold your head up as a husband?

142. It's hard on Iwa too.

143. - No, I... - You be quiet.

144. Yes.

145. As your relative I could not sit quietly and watch this happen.

146. I've made enquiries among my acquaintances.

147. - You've found a position for him? - Yes.

148. They're in need of a man in Tsukada.

149. It won't do any harm to meet them.

150. That's wonderful, thank you.

151. You should talk to Ito Kihei.

152. Go and visit him at once.

153. Isn't this wonderful news?

154. I've had so many conversations like this.

155. What?

156. Connections or bribery are the only way to get a position.

157. You need a powerful backer.

158. Unless you can offer a huge bribe,

159. there's no chance at all.

160. How very cynical.

161. Where's your fighting spirit?

162. The court is hardly in disarray.

163. I wonder.

164. When applying for a position,

165. the standard gift has long been a bucket of sake.

166. That shall suffice.

167. Visit Lord Ito at your earliest opportunity.

168. lemon, please.

169. SAKE, FROM TAMIYA

170. Seki, If you accept a quote like this, the craftsmen will take us for fools.

171. Send it right back.

172. How are the preparations going for the road at the Sakurada Gate?

173. They were completed yesterday.

174. Hey, who are you?

175. Did you say your name was lemon?

176. I'm looking for a watchman.

177. Simply put, you'd be supervising a construction site.

178. It's not very glamorous.

179. That's alright, I'd be grateful for the position.

180. Well said.

181. Even for a dull post like this,

182. there are a large number of applicants such as yourself.

183. Many of them come highly recommended by the Shogun's advisors.

184. So many of them ask favours of me.

185. And who am I to refuse them?

186. I'm sorry to interrupt.

187. A gentleman recommended by the treasurer has been waiting some time.

188. Send him through.

189. What a busy day!

190. I'm sorry, but if you wouldn't mind...

191. Excuse me.

192. Sorry to have kept you waiting, please do come in.

193. Foolish man.

194. Are there really men stupid enough

195. to think that a position can still be had for a mere bucket of sake?

196. My goodness, what a faux pas!

197. Would you like some sake?

198. You have to be shameless to survive in a world like this.

199. You got that right.

200. Help us, please.

201. Some drunk men are chasing us.

202. Drunks?

203. Let's go teach them a lesson.

204. Wait!

205. Better keep out of it.

206. What?

207. That's the son of Inspector General Iwamoto.

208. His friends are men of rank.

209. They will all succeed to their father's positions.

210. - Gonnosuke? - Yes.

211. Who are these guys?

212. They're no match for us.

213. Please.

214. My lady.

215. Help us, please!

216. My lady!

217. Sorry to intrude.

218. Stay out of it.

219. You probably don't know, but that man is...

220. The son of the Inspector General?

221. No flies on you.

222. A fool like that will one day inherit the post of Inspector General?

223. Such an important role.

224. Are you handing her over or not?

225. It's none of my concern.

226. Alright, stay here.

227. - Hey. - What are you doing?

228. Unfortunately for you, I'm in a very bad mood today.

229. Absolute fools.

230. I don't know how to thank you.

231. How can we ever repay you for leaping to our rescue?

232. Oh, I wasn't really doing it for you.

233. There's no need to thank me.

234. I'm settling my bill.

235. Thank you.

236. Could you tell us...

237. This way, my lady.

238. My lady, we should be getting back.

239. But we don't even know his name.

240. I tried to ask him, but...

241. As it happens, I know him quite well.

242. - Oh, you do? - Yes.

243. If you know his name, please tell us.

244. Oh, I know it.

245. I'm well acquainted with him, but...

246. Please accept this.

247. Is he a friend of yours?

248. Yes, his name's Tamiya lemon.

249. Tamiya lemon...

250. Is that all you know?

251. Don't leave us hanging.

252. Let's hear a little more about this lemon.

253. She said it was a little bold, but she seemed pleased.

254. Good, I'm glad.

255. She's too reserved.

256. It was a love match, you'd think they'd get along better.

257. I'd never let him get away with it.

258. She's not like you.

259. I can hardly believe you're sisters.

260. Her shyness is what makes her attractive.

261. How dare you.

262. What was that for?

263. Like her that much, do you?

264. If you're so fond of my sister, you can marry her instead.

265. Don't be silly, where did that come from?

266. Everything will be sorted by the end of the year.

267. Then we can get the shop up and running.

268. Oh, that's wonderful!

269. - We'll be together all the time! - Hopefully.

270. No more working to make someone else rich.

271. Come on, someone might see.

272. When will I see you next?

273. I'll come tomorrow night.

274. - You will? - Yes.

275. Don't forget!

276. Hey, Osode.

277. Shutting up shop? I got here just in time.

278. Come out with me tonight.

279. No, I don't want to. I've told you before.

280. Come on.

281. You know how I feel about you.

282. I've been in love with you since you lived at your sister's.

283. Have a heart, won't you?

284. I couldn't care less.

285. Let me go! Leave me alone.

286. Osode!

287. Naosuke, stop embarrassing yourself.

288. If you're after Osode, just go to Sakurayu.

289. What do you mean?

290. She works here during the day, then at night...

291. She works at Sakurayu?

292. You really didn't know?

293. So that's how it is.

294. - Thanks. - Hey, wait.

295. Ah, I really shouldn't have told him that.

296. You asked your uncle to come the other day, didn't you?

297. No, of course not.

298. I know it was you.

299. I understand you're worried about me.

300. But poverty is easier to bear than humiliation.

301. Firstly, the world is not so kind anymore.

302. You and your uncle are living in the past.

303. I just wanted you to make something of yourself.

304. Tell your uncle,

305. that a bucket of sake won't hook you even a little fish these days.

306. Alright, I'm sorry.

307. - lemon... - What is it?

308. I'm not sure if this suits me.

309. If what suits you?

310. Osode gave it to me, but perhaps it's a little bold.

311. Oh, I see.

312. I thought it was one of your old ones, from when you were young.

313. We should thank her, she's always giving you such lovely things.

314. Oh, there's no need.

315. It's a nice day for once.

316. What do you think? Want to come fishing with me?

317. Oh how wonderful, you want me to come too?

318. Go get ready.

319. Yes, I'll pack something for us to eat.

320. Oh, Tamiya. There you are.

321. Thank goodness. Come right away.

322. Sorry, not today.

323. Come on, we really need your help.

324. We can't manage without you.

325. Please? There's money in it.

326. Iwa, fetch my jacket.

327. Are you going out?

328. A job came up.

329. - And I'd just made lunch. - Never mind.

330. My friends are waiting, get my jacket.

331. I expect she's not pleased to see us.

332. Sorry about this.

333. What are you saying? Let's go.

334. Mrs Tamiya,

335. I feel so sorry for you.

336. I've served you for 24 years.

337. I know how you must be feeling.

338. What are you talking about?

339. Why does he treat you so badly?

340. Why can't he be nicer to you?

341. Please, my husband isn't like that at all.

342. He has to endure a life of poverty and obligation

343. solely because he married into the Tamiya family.

344. He's a retainer to the Shogun,

345. but can't do as he pleases.

346. There is no prospect of his success with the world the way it is.

347. Who can blame him for being bad tempered?

348. But even so,

349. he could be kinder to you.

350. And being on such friendly terms with men like Akiyama,

351. of all people.

352. Kohei, please don't say any more.

353. Mrs Tamiya.

354. Mrs Tamiya.

355. They're in here.

356. My lady.

357. What's going on? What's all this about?

358. I'm terribly sorry.

359. We wanted to repay you for the other day.

360. We were looking everywhere and we've finally found you.

361. I apologise for the ruse, but under the circumstances.

362. My lady, come and sit over here.

363. She has something she wishes to say to you.

364. I do hope you'll listen.

365. I'll excuse myself for a moment.

366. Please say something.

367. Wasn't it you who had something to say?

368. There was so much I wanted to tell you,

369. but the moment I saw your face, I forgot everything.

370. I see.

371. - Anyway, would you pour me some sake? - Certainly.

372. It's all going well thanks to you.

373. This is just a token of our appreciation.

374. Oh, you shouldn't have.

375. There was no need, really.

376. Well, thank you.

377. Oh, sorry. That one's for Mr Tamiya.

378. Osode? Customer for you.

379. For me?

380. He asked for you.

381. What's he like?

382. - He said his name's Gonbei. - Gonbei?

383. I don't know him.

384. Better go right away, he's waiting.

385. Good evening.

386. - Hey. - Oh, it's you.

387. You tricked me, calling yourself Gonbei.

388. I wasn't trying to trick you.

389. Gonbei's one of my names.

390. You're not helping yourself.

391. Well, whatever. Come over here.

392. I'm your guest for the night.

393. I'm just here to pour the drinks, don't try anything disagreeable.

394. You really just pour drinks?

395. The customers only come here to be disagreeable, don't they?

396. Let me go.

397. I have a man already.

398. I know all about Yomoshichi.

399. So why did you come?

400. Why did you?

401. Why are you working in a place like this?

402. Well, I talk to the customers and ask them...

403. Ask them what?

404. Not to expect my body.

405. Alright.

406. Well, in that case, tonight I won't either.

407. Really? Thank you!

408. Well, then.

409. - What are you doing? - Don't be absurd.

410. Leave me alone!

411. I paid my money, so I'm taking the goods.

412. There's no point trying to resist me.

413. What are you doing?

414. Get off her!

415. What? I'm a paying customer!

416. Yomoshichi!

417. Stop it, please!

418. - Leaving so soon? - What's that?

419. I'm free, if you're interested?

420. If you hadn't arrived just then, I don't know what I'd have done.

421. Whore.

422. What? Yomoshichi...

423. You said it was just pouring drinks, but it's not, is it?

424. What were you doing just now?

425. - Don't be like this! - Like what?

426. Sorry for spoiling your fun.

427. How could you say that?

428. Naosuke tried to force himself on me.

429. That's not how it seemed to me. You were enjoying it.

430. Yomoshichi!

431. How could you be so stupid?

432. I'm only putting up with this miserable job

433. so that we can start our life together as soon as possible.

434. But you look at me like that.

435. How could you?

436. It's alright.

437. I understand.

438. You don't.

439. You don't understand me at all.

440. It's alright, I get it now.

441. I was just jealous, that's all.

442. So it's really alright?

443. What I mean is...

444. I'm deeply in love with you.

445. I'm so happy.

446. Osode.

447. You're back early.

448. I didn't offend Mr Akiyama, did I?

449. There's no need to worry about them.

450. Oh, Iwa?

451. A present.

452. You bought something for me?

453. I hope you'll like it.

454. My, it's so beautiful.

455. It's lovely.

456. It's far too good for me.

457. Thank you.

458. It's alright, I've caused you so much suffering.

459. This will do for now.

460. How did you come by all this?

461. You don't want to know.

462. - But all this money? - I said not to ask.

463. Alright.

464. Whose kimono is that?

465. I'm repairing it for Kohei.

466. A samurai's wife is repairing the clothes of a servant?

467. It's already falling apart, if I don't at least do this...

468. Stop it.

469. But it's only...

470. You're very accommodating when it comes to Kohei.

471. What do you mean by that?

472. Throw it away.

473. Do as I tell you.

474. Okay.

475. Buy a new one instead.

476. Alright, I'll do that.

477. You can't always have your own way.

478. Tamiya lemon is not the sort of man you should be inviting to this house.

479. Please, listen to her.

480. Omaki, it's alright.

481. I've made up my mind.

482. Oh, no! Please, put that down.

483. She's your precious daughter, isn't she?

484. Can't you see a way to fulfil her wishes?

485. - Give that to me. - No, let it go.

486. Oume, you really like him that much?

487. From Lord Ito?

488. He has something he would like to discuss with your husband

489. and would be grateful if he could attend him.

490. Just a moment, please.

491. Someone from Lord Ito's estate has come to fetch you.

492. Why now? Send him away.

493. Don't be like that.

494. He's gone to the trouble of sending someone.

495. This chance might not come again.

496. Go ahead and see him.

497. Please listen to me.

498. Just this once, please.

499. - Just this once? - Yes.

500. His wife is very beautiful, isn't she?

501. I hope it goes well.

502. Congratulations.

503. Your husband has finally found a position.

504. Naosuke, who was that girl just now?

505. She's Lord Ito's daughter.

506. I see.

507. I'm so glad you were able to come.

508. I was worried you might not after our previous meeting.

509. I owe you an apology for the appalling way I treated you.

510. Oh, not at all. I'm very grateful to you.

511. This is my daughter, Oume.

512. Oh, it's you!

513. From the other day.

514. She's your daughter?

515. Would you like some tea?

516. I heard all about it from my daughter.

517. To think that was you.

518. You did something truly remarkable.

519. Apologise or thank you, I felt I had to do something right away,

520. so that's why I invited you here.

521. Please, help yourself.

522. I hope you will do us the honour of staying with us tonight.

523. Oh, I couldn't possibly.

524. No need to stand on ceremony, have a drink.

525. Oume, pour him one.

526. Alright.

527. Oh, you're back?

528. Find any good fish?

529. Yes, red snapper.

530. How lovely. We should cook it right away.

531. Let's have it whole, it may bring luck to my husband.

532. Certainly.

533. Oh, Kohei,

534. why aren't you wearing your new kimono?

535. Oh, you went to the trouble of repairing this one for me.

536. But I asked you not to wear it anymore.

537. I know, but it would be a shame to throw it away.

538. You'll get me into trouble.

539. Kohei?

540. Oh, would you like some more?

541. I've had quite enough, thank you.

542. I'll go and give my regards to your father.

543. Then I should be going.

544. Oh no, please don't go.

545. I can't let you leave tonight.

546. Don't be unreasonable.

547. Won't you stay?

548. You don't want to travel in all this rain.

549. Someone is waiting for me at home.

550. Your pretty wife is waiting,

551. so you rush straight out into torrential rain.

552. Is your wife really so beautiful?

553. Lady Oume,

554. you'll understand well enough once you're a wife.

555. Oh, I do hope so.

556. I hope they find a good match for you soon.

557. But it's your wife I want to be!

558. What do you mean? I have a wife already.

559. That's beside the point.

560. Your wife is your wife. I am me.

561. As long as you care for me, I'll be happy.

562. The human heart is not so fickle.

563. If you didn't have a wife,

564. would you care for me alone?

565. Could we be together then?

566. Lady Oume.

567. What do you think? Going pretty well, isn't it?

568. It's all thanks to you.

569. She turned down all her other suitors.

570. It seems it has to be him.

571. She said she'd die otherwise.

572. I think she actually might do it too.

573. Well...

574. Our work is just beginning.

575. He hasn't taken much of a liking to her.

576. If only there were some way her desires could be fulfilled.

577. She's such a stubborn girl.

578. I'll pay whatever it takes.

579. Good to know.

580. But I've something else in mind.

581. You're impossible.

582. A sizeable gift on top of this lovely meal,

583. you are too kind.

584. I don't know what to say.

585. It's just a token of my love for my daughter.

586. Don't worry, leave Tamiya to us.

587. That's right.

588. There's no man in this world immune to love and money.

589. You're right there. I'll leave it up to you.

590. Mrs Tamiya, your husband has returned.

591. Welcome back.

592. You'd gone to bed already?

593. I'm sorry. I'm still not feeling well.

594. I'll fetch you some sake and something to eat.

595. I've eaten already.

596. Oh, we prepared some fish for you.

597. Just have a bite, will you?

598. I don't want any.

599. Couldn't you just try a little? We prepared it to bring you luck.

600. I told you, I don't want any.

601. Why keep going on about it?

602. How did it go at Lord Ito's?

603. We just had a meal.

604. I expect that pretty young lady was there?

605. Do you know her?

606. Yes, I saw her by the gate this morning.

607. She wasn't there.

608. I had to listen to Lord Ito drone on for hours.

609. Is that so?

610. There we are.

611. Is that it?

612. I was just starting to feel better.

613. That'll be 16 mon, please.

614. - Put it on my tab. - What?

615. I'm sorry, I don't accept payment on account.

616. Come on, I let you touch me for free.

617. You ought to be thanking me.

618. Rin, how can you be so cruel?

619. Keep your hands to yourself.

620. She's right, we can't tell if you're here for work or play.

621. Thought it was a perk, did you?

622. Watch out or I'll be charging you.

623. Good night.

624. Same to you.

625. Takuetsu, wait.

626. Don't forget to go and visit my sister, will you?

627. Oh, I'm sorry. It clean slipped my mind.

628. Take her this.

629. They're such awful women.

630. You're a rose among thorns.

631. I don't know about that.

632. Don't let my sister know I'm working here though.

633. - I understand perfectly. - You do?

634. She's got it hard enough as it is, I don't want her to worry.

635. This is my last night anyway.

636. Don't worry, I understand.

637. Come back and tell me how she is, won't you?

638. Try to get some rest.

639. Doctor, how is she?

640. She's suffering complications from the miscarriage.

641. It's difficult to treat.

642. Is it that serious?

643. It's not incurable, but...

644. Is there no medicine?

645. There's a herbal medicine from China that may help,

646. but it's very expensive.

647. We have to get her well, no matter the cost.

648. - Kohei? - Yes?

649. It's bad, isn't it?

650. Oh, no. It's nothing serious.

651. You can tell me the truth.

652. I've known it all along.

653. The doctor didn't say anything.

654. Don't say any more.

655. I don't want to die.

656. Mrs Tamiya.

657. I can't be the only one to die

658. leaving my husband behind.

659. I don't want to die alone.

660. The loneliness,

661. I can't bear it.

662. You're going to get better. There's a medicine that can cure you.

663. But it must be very expensive.

664. What about the money your husband brought home the other day?

665. He's been going out every night.

666. Akiyama and his friends often visit

667. with invitations from Lord Ito, there must be some reason behind it.

668. Kohei.

669. There's a pretty young woman named Oume who lives there.

670. A young woman?

671. So your husband...

672. If only there were some way to get the medicine.

673. Well...

674. We can't borrow any more.

675. That comb must be worth quite a bit.

676. - No, I can't part with it. - Mrs Tamiya.

677. Your life is at stake.

678. I can't give it up.

679. Not even if my life depends on it.

680. I'm not asking you to.

681. It's just for the moment, not forever.

682. I promise you.

683. Do you mean it?

684. You'll really get it back for me?

685. Please, you have to believe me.

686. You'll return it to me, won't you?

687. Of course.

688. Kohei, do it tomorrow.

689. I'll talk to my husband tonight.

690. What, you're saying he can't marry my daughter even if he wants to?

691. He married into the Tamiya family, we need to give him a reason to leave.

692. But they married for love, so it won't be easy.

693. No, we can use Kohei.

694. He's overly fond of Lady Oiwa.

695. We can say they're having an affair.

696. Oh, that's good.

697. Tamiya will be enraged to find out that his beloved wife is having an affair.

698. It's the perfect plan.

699. Well, is that so?

700. Sort of a cop out.

701. Why? What do you mean?

702. Oh my, that's awful!

703. Oume's always saying

704. how much she resents Oiwa's beauty.

705. But to go so far as to poison her?

706. He hasn't returned yet, has he?

707. I'm sure he'll be back this morning.

708. I don't want him to see me like this, help me get ready.

709. Are you alright? Don't overdo it.

710. - I'm fine, just help me. - Alright.

711. Mrs Tamiya.

712. I'm alright, just help me sit up.

713. This comb, I'll have to part with it for a while.

714. - Kohei. - Mrs Tamiya.

715. - Kohei! - Mrs Tamiya!

716. I feel so sorry for you.

717. Kohei!

718. Have you lost your mind?

719. What do you take me for?

720. Mrs Tamiya.

721. Let go of me! Let me go!

722. Kohei.

723. I...

724. I heard it from Akiyama.

725. Lord Ito wants your husband to marry his daughter.

726. Kohei, is that...

727. Is it...

728. I felt sorry for you not knowing anything.

729. I couldn't stay silent any longer.

730. Kohei!

731. - Mr Tamiya. - lemon.

732. Me marrying Lord Ito's daughter?

733. What do you mean by spreading such baseless rumours?

734. lemon!

735. lemon, answer me.

736. Is there really no truth in it?

737. Fool!

738. lemon!

739. You spent last night at Lord Ito's with Lady Oume,

740. didn't you?

741. What is this?

742. How dare you!

743. Let go of me.

744. lemon.

745. lemon!

746. Hello? It's Takuetsu, the masseur.

747. Could you keep an eye on her? I'm going to get the doctor.

748. Is it that serious?

749. How are you feeling?

750. Shall I give you a massage?

751. I've brought a letter for you, from Osode.

752. From Osode?

753. Here it is.

754. And there's this too.

755. She's always thinking of me.

756. I'm so grateful.

757. Even though I can't do anything for her.

758. Hello?

759. Oh, glad I caught you.

760. I'm here on an errand.

761. lemon asked me to deliver this.

762. It's very effective medicine, make sure she takes it right away.

763. Oh, really? I'll see to it.

764. I'd have liked to see her, but I've got another errand to run

765. and she'll be right as rain after taking that.

766. I'll leave it with you.

767. Who was that?

768. Mrs Tamiya, the medicine has arrived.

769. - The medicine? - Yes!

770. He said your husband sent it.

771. It's supposed to be very effective.

772. You should take it right away.

773. It seems he asked for it a long time ago and it's finally arrived.

774. I said such awful things to him earlier

775. and he was worrying about me all along.

776. I owe him a huge apology when he gets back.

777. I'll take it right now.

778. I'm sorry, but would you mind preparing it for me?

779. Yes, of course. I'll be right back.

780. I'm sorry,

781. I'm in a hurry.

782. What, are you running away?

783. What are you doing?

784. Don't look at me like that!

785. You're always glaring at us.

786. Please, I have to get the medicine.

787. Why is it you resent us so much?

788. Were you afraid we'd expose your affair?

789. Affair?

790. Silence. Do you know what kind of sin it is that you've committed?

791. What proof do you have?

792. That's the comb Tamiya had the other day!

793. Why do you have it?

794. You're hurting me!

795. If you don't let it go,

796. I'll break every one of your fingers.

797. Hey!

798. Stubborn fool.

799. Where's Tamiya?

800. He took his fishing stuff, so I guess he's at the canal.

801. Sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs Tamiya.

802. The medicine's ready now.

803. Thank you, you're very kind.

804. Oh, it's no trouble.

805. I'll have some now.

806. I'll pour it for you.

807. Here you go.

808. Oh, wait a moment.

809. Perhaps we should let it cool.

810. I think it's alright now.

811. Thank you, lemon.

812. It's so bitter.

813. Is it difficult to swallow?

814. It smells quite strange.

815. Oh, really?

816. It is a strange smell, isn't it?

817. If it's unpalatable, perhaps you shouldn't take it.

818. No, they say good medicine tastes bad.

819. My husband went to the trouble of getting it for me.

820. It would be wrong to let it go to waste.

821. I'll take it now.

822. Are you sure?

823. That's a bad omen.

824. Hey, Tamiya!

825. You should see this.

826. Naosuke, put him down and splash some water on him.

827. He can't die just yet.

828. What's going on?

829. Is that Kohei?

830. The comb is proof of an affair.

831. It's the one you gave your wife.

832. This servant was showing it off everywhere.

833. Boasting about his love affair.

834. Mr Tamiya.

835. I feel so sorry for your wife.

836. Please, forgive her.

837. Mrs Tamiya...

838. So it's true.

839. Tamiya, for what he's done to his mistress,

840. he must die.

841. Bastard.

842. It's getting late. I wonder where Kohei has got to.

843. It's already dark, he must have gone a long way.

844. My husband sent the medicine,

845. so he didn't need to go at all.

846. Are you in a lot of pain?

847. How are you feeling?

848. It really hurts.

849. What happened, is something wrong?

850. My face, my face!

851. Your face hurts?

852. Pull yourself together.

853. My face is on fire.

854. Your face?

855. It must be the medicine. My face hurts so much.

856. It's like someone's peeling it off.

857. Takuetsu, would you look at it for me?

858. Is it really that bad?

859. What's happened to my face?

860. Nothing. You're as beautiful as ever.

861. Takuetsu, pass me the mirror.

862. No, You mustn't look!

863. Takuetsu, please.

864. - Don't look. - Let me see.

865. You mustn't.

866. Takuetsu, please.

867. Mrs Tamiya, please don't look.

868. Don't look, please.

869. Please, don't.

870. You mustn't.

871. Don't look, please.

872. Is it really me?

873. My face...

874. Takuetsu,

875. that horrifying face in the mirror, it's mine, isn't it?

876. Take a look at it again, one more time.

877. Please, look.

878. Someone, help me!

879. I don't want him to see.

880. I won't show him my face.

881. I don't want him to be upset.

882. I don't want to worry him.

883. I have to make myself beautiful.

884. Ah, it hurts!

885. Who are you waiting for, combing your hair?

886. - Akiyama. - Lady Oiwa.

887. That medicine's pretty good.

888. Just like he wanted,

889. Tamiya can forget all about his wife now.

890. What are you saying?

891. Now he can marry Lord Ito's pretty young daughter.

892. He wouldn't...

893. My husband, lemon, he'd never do something like that.

894. Then why did he poison you?

895. You're wrong. He's not like that.

896. She did it, didn't she?

897. That's right, isn't it? Akiyama.

898. What are you saying?

899. I'm not wrong.

900. I understand now.

901. A ghost!

902. A monster!

903. A ghost?

904. Monster!

905. Iwa.

906. lemon, stay where you are.

907. Don't look at my face.

908. Your face?

909. What's wrong with it?

910. Look at me.

911. No, please.

912. Please don't look.

913. I have to ask you something.

914. Don't come near me. Don't look, please.

915. Look at me.

916. Don't, please.

917. Look at me!

918. It's hideous!

919. What happened to your face?

920. It'll get better!

921. Don't leave me, please!

922. Get away from me. I can't look at you like that.

923. Stay with me, please!

924. How could I?

925. Don't leave me.

926. lemon, don't go!

927. What kind of medicine does this?

928. Are you trying to get rid of me?

929. Please, listen.

930. You never give up, do you?

931. lemon.

932. lemon,

933. is Lady Oume...

934. really so beautiful?

935. You're hideous. Get away from me.

936. Iwa.

937. I don't want to die.

938. I don't want to die like this.

939. I won't let her take you from me.

940. Just a moment.

941. - Someone there? - It's my sister.

942. What could she want at this hour?

943. Ask her to come in.

944. What are you doing out there?

945. That's funny.

946. What did she want?

947. It's so strange. I'm sure she was there.

948. Do you think something's happened to her?

949. No, I haven't seen him.

950. Lady Omaki?

951. Are you sure he was here?

952. Have you seen Tamiya?

953. No, I haven't.

954. Oh, Mrs Tamiya. Please, come in.

955. Come on through.

956. Horrible weather we're having, isn't it?

957. Tamiya, come on.

958. We've got a problem, your wife is here.

959. That can't be.

960. She said she'd come for her husband.

961. We've just disposed of her corpse.

962. You're sure she's dead?

963. Definitely.

964. We tied her to a board with Kohei

965. and threw them in the river as adulterers.

966. Where is she?

967. You took your time, didn't you?

968. Lady Oume.

969. Oume, go wait in another room.

970. Omaki, go and get ready.

971. My lady, let's go.

972. See, there's no one here.

973. Hey, going to be miserable forever?

974. Hurry up and forget about Lady Oiwa.

975. The world's not such a gloomy place.

976. Better to live well rather than long. Right, Tamiya?

977. Don't hold back, do as you please.

978. He's waiting for you.

979. Your father has given you his blessing.

980. Tonight's the night.

981. Hurry up and go to him.

982. How ridiculous.

983. You take it from here.

984. I wonder...

985. do you...

986. I mean...

987. Do you truly care for me?

988. As I thought, you're still thinking of your wife.

989. What?

990. Can you not forget her?

991. I've already forgotten Iwa.

992. So you're really not dwelling on your wife?

993. Don't say any more.

994. Why don't you go and change?

995. But...

996. can a man's heart really be so fickle?

997. Why don't you say something?

998. Iwa!

999. Be gone!

1000. Lady Oume!

1001. Someone, help!

1002. I didn't mean to.

1003. Stop!

1004. lemon, don't leave me.

1005. Someone, please!

1006. What happened?

1007. Oh no, she's been hurt!

1008. Iwa! Don't get in my way.

1009. Yomoshichi.

1010. You're here too?

1011. Where's Iwa?

1012. Something strange happened last night,

1013. so I came right here first thing.

1014. Just as I feared...

1015. What's happened?

1016. The bodies of a pair of adulterers were found in the river last night.

1017. One of them was Kohei.

1018. They couldn't identify the woman,

1019. it could have been Oiwa.

1020. But that's...

1021. Someone told me about it just now.

1022. I feared it was too late,

1023. but I rushed over here anyway.

1024. Oh, Takuetsu.

1025. Did you give my sister the letter?

1026. Yes, I did.

1027. Did anything seem odd about her?

1028. To tell you the truth, it was awful.

1029. She was in terrible pain after taking the medicine her husband sent.

1030. And on top of that, it disfigured her face,

1031. and her eyes were terrifying like those of a ghost.

1032. What? Is that what really happened?

1033. - Excuse me? - Coming.

1034. Could you wash these for me? It's just my regular order.

1035. I'm very sorry but we can't today.

1036. Oh, I don't need them right away. Whenever you can is fine.

1037. In that case, put them in the barrel over there.

1038. I'll leave them with you, then.

1039. Takuetsu, I'm going to see my sister.

1040. Thank you again, Osode.

1041. Isn't he the man that sells dead people's clothes?

1042. What's that?

1043. I heard he buys up the clothes of people who've died for cheap

1044. and then sells them on.

1045. How awful.

1046. Dead people's clothes?

1047. You should stop taking his orders.

1048. Everything alright, Takuetsu?

1049. Your dog keeps trying to play with me.

1050. We don't have a dog.

1051. I'm sorry, but would you mind taking those clothes back?

1052. It's too horrible.

1053. Yes, alright. I'll do that.

1054. What happened?

1055. There was a hand! A hand came out of the barrel!

1056. Oh no, it can't be!

1057. Your sister, she's...

1058. I know, she's been killed.

1059. - How did you know? - Look at this.

1060. But this is...

1061. Iwa.

1062. Iwa.

1063. Rest in peace.

1064. Tamiya? Is that you?

1065. What happened? Are you alright?

1066. She'd never have an affair.

1067. Someone's set her up.

1068. We have to find out who so we can avenge her.

1069. So I've called Naosuke over.

1070. He'll know what's going on.

1071. I'll go and get lemon.

1072. Thank you.

1073. I'll prove to him that she was innocent.

1074. Alright.

1075. Keep Naosuke here until I get back.

1076. Osode, it's me.

1077. Is the coast clear?

1078. I heard you wanted to see me while Yomoshichi's out.

1079. Not a ruse, is it?

1080. Not exactly, but...

1081. You said you loved me, but I don't believe you.

1082. I want you to prove it to me.

1083. What should I do?

1084. Tell me why Kohei and my sister were killed.

1085. She wasn't like that.

1086. I want to prove her innocence.

1087. Naosuke, tell me the truth.

1088. If I do, will you marry me?

1089. Come a bit closer, then.

1090. Akiyama and Sekiguchi were blinded by their greed

1091. and conspired with Ito who dotes on his daughter.

1092. Iwa was in the way, so they poisoned her,

1093. and threw her body in the river.

1094. All so lemon could marry Ito's daughter?

1095. The wedding is already arranged.

1096. How dreadful.

1097. No need to be jealous.

1098. We'll be married soon enough.

1099. What was that for?

1100. Idiot. I tricked you into confessing everything.

1101. What?

1102. You blamed it on them, but you were involved too, weren't you?

1103. Yeah, that's right. I planned the whole thing.

1104. Alright.

1105. Now you know too much.

1106. I can't let you go.

1107. Naosuke.

1108. You bastard.

1109. Dammit.

1110. Where do you think you're going?

1111. Let me go!

1112. Yomoshichi.

1113. Are you in a lot of pain? Try to bear it.

1114. It must have been horrible.

1115. Where can he have gone?

1116. I don't think he can suspect us.

1117. You have no idea where he is?

1118. As far as we know, he's...

1119. Akiyama, no!

1120. You fool!

1121. What are you doing!

1122. There was a ghost!

1123. Akiyama, have you lost your mind?

1124. We did something terrible.

1125. Tell Naosuke to look for Tamiya.

1126. He's missing too.

1127. Where did he go?

1128. If it's Naosuke you want, here he is.

1129. It's Naosuke's head.

1130. Oh, Tamiya.

1131. What's going on?

1132. Why are you here?

1133. I think you know.

1134. Tamiya, wait.

1135. I'll forget what you did to Oume and give you a job.

1136. Don't bother.

1137. I'll avenge Oiwa.

1138. Stay where you are.

1139. Don't do this.

1140. What do you think you're doing?

1141. This is Iwa's revenge.

1142. Wait, Tamiya!

1143. I'm sorry!

1144. Forgive us!

1145. Please forgive me.

1146. Tamiya, forgive me, please!

1147. THE END
