***SIGN*** Arson & Theft
**[00:17] Sa**
Arson & Theft Department.
**[00:19] Sa**
Kobusa no Kumehachi!
**[00:20] Sa**
Surrender yourself!
**[00:25] Sa**
Your comrades ran away.
***SIGN*** Chigashira no Tanbei
***SIGN*** Arson & Theft Department
**[01:46] Ko**
He's tough.
**[01:47] Chu**
Even stone torture didn't take him down.
**[01:50] Hei**
I'll handle this.
**[01:52] Hei**
Are you Kobusa no Kumehachi?
**[01:58] Hei**
I'm chief of the Arson & Theft Department,
**[02:01] Hei**
Hasegawa Heizo.
**[02:05] Kume**
I get the chief himself, eh?
**[02:09] Kume**
Guess I'm moving up in the world.
**[02:11] Hei**
I'm told your comrades betrayed you.
**[02:15] Hei**
They left you to take the fall.
**[02:18] Hei**
What obligates you to protect them, then?
**[02:22] Kume**
Thieves have their own forms of honor,
**[02:25] ---**
and their own forms of pride, sir.
**[02:51] Hei**
Kumehachi...
**[02:52] Hei**
This won't really break you, will it?
**[02:55] Hei**
It's nothing compared to the suffering
you've inflicted on others.
**[03:36] Chu**
Ojun-sama!
**[03:39] Chu**
You can't be in here, dear.
**[03:42] Chu**
I'll get an earful for it.
**[03:44] Chu**
Darn it...
**[03:59] Chu**
Dang. Can't even enjoy a
couple minutes on the can.
**[04:03] Kume**
Excuse me, sir.
**[04:07] Chu**
What?
**[04:08] Kume**
Who was that girl?
**[04:10] Chu**
Our chief's daughter.
**[04:13] Chu**
Though she's not his real daughter.
**[04:18] Chu**
She's the daughter of a thief he arrested.
**[04:21] Kume**
Impossible!
**[04:23] Chu**
He's a generous man, our chief.
**[04:33] Kume**
Hasegawa... Heizo.
***SIGN*** — Months Later —
**[04:51] Hei**
You had quite a fitful sleep.
**[04:55] Hei**
Your wounds tormenting you again?
**[04:59] Hei**
Would you like a drink?
**[05:04] Hei**
Where are you from, exactly?
**[05:06] Kume**
I don't know.
**[05:08] Kume**
I don't even remember my parents.
**[05:12] Kume**
I just...
**[05:13] Hei**
You just?
**[05:14] Kume**
I think I was born in the north.
**[05:18] Kume**
A little village where the snow often fell.
**[05:22] Hei**
Snow, eh?
**[05:23] Kume**
I lived there with an old woman.
**[05:26] Kume**
I called her Granny On.
**[05:28] Hei**
Granny On?
**[05:31] Kume**
Thinking back, I feel like
she was my real grandmother.
**[05:36] Hei**
I see.
**[05:38] Kume**
I remember a snowy day.
**[05:41] Kume**
Granny On was leading me by the hand...
**[05:49] Kume**
I clung to her body and wept,
**[05:52] Kume**
then felt someone peel
me off and take me away.
**[05:56] Kume**
I don't know what happened next.
**[05:59] Kume**
My earliest real memories are of
**[06:01] ---**
making a living doing the tightrope
at Yamadori Gin's theater.
**[06:07] Kume**
Never knowing my parents meant I didn't
see much to offer me in an ordinary life.
**[06:15] Kume**
I shouldn't need to explain how
I turned down the wrong path after that.
**[06:26] Hei**
It's gotten chilly.
**[06:31] Hei**
This should help you sleep.
**[06:46] Hei**
Hey, Kumehachi.
**[06:49] Hei**
I never knew my real mother, either.
**[06:53] Hei**
Granny On...
**[06:56] Hei**
I wish someone had ever led me by the hand.
***SIGN*** Chigashira no Tanbei
**[07:29] Chu**
How did it go?
**[07:30] Saka**
How did it go? It was awful.
**[07:33] Chu**
Was there another wooden marker?
**[07:35] Saka**
Yes.
**[07:36] Saka**
It said "Chigashira no Tanbei."
**[07:39] Saka**
He's a disgrace to thieves.
**[07:41] Saka**
A nasty piece of work.
**[07:43] Chu**
What's his M.O.?
**[07:44] Saka**
It's really something.
**[07:46] Saka**
He does whatever it takes.
**[07:48] Saka**
He'll threaten the master of the house
to unlock the warehouse, rob it blind,
**[07:52] Saka**
and even kill women and children.
**[07:55] Chu**
Even the quality of our thieves is declining.
**[07:58] Chu**
Anyone can just force money out of
someone if they're amoral enough.
**[08:03] Chu**
A real thief shouldn't
stoop to rape and murder.
**[08:09] Chu**
At least, that's what the
chief always tells me.
**[08:12] Kame**
I want to talk!
**[08:20] Hei**
I'm told you wanted to speak with me.
**[08:22] Kame**
Yes, Hasegawa-sama.
**[08:25] Kame**
The thief who attacked that lord's residence
**[08:28] Kame**
was impersonating Chigashira no Tanbei.
**[08:31] Hei**
What?
**[08:33] Kame**
The real Tanbei wouldn't
stomach such a slaughter,
**[08:36] Kame**
just as the sun doesn't rise in the west.
**[08:40] Hei**
You know the real Tanbei?
**[08:43] Kame**
Yes.
**[08:45] Kame**
He supported me until I turned nineteen...
**[08:48] Kame**
as my boss.
**[08:51] Hei**
What?
**[08:53] Kame**
It was Master Chigashira who taught
me the three rules of the true thief.
**[09:00] Hei**
The three rules of the true thief?
**[09:11] (Flashback) Tan**
Listen up, all of you.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Tan**
We might be bad guys,
but we're not some petty burglars.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Tan**
The three rules of the true thief!
**[09:19] (Flashback) Tan**
Don't forget these, no matter what.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Tan**
We don't shed blood,
**[09:25] (Flashback) Tan**
we only steal from the rich,
**[09:28] (Flashback) Tan**
and we don't rape women.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Thie**
We get it already, boss!
**[09:33] (Flashback) Thie**
You can stop tellin' us already!
**[09:37] (Flashback) Tan**
Kumehachi!
**[09:46] (Flashback) Tan**
A drink to our bond.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Tan**
We're counting on you.
**[10:16] Kume**
But several years later,
I broke that ironclad rule.
**[10:22] Kume**
In the foolishness of youth...
**[10:37] Hei**
What then?
**[10:38] Kume**
I was expelled.
**[10:40] Kume**
I apologized, but he wouldn't forgive me.
**[10:43] Kume**
Ever since that day, I've tried to
adhere to the three rules on my own.
**[10:51] Hei**
You're saying Chigashira no Tanbei
adheres to these rules as well?
**[10:58] Kume**
Yes.
**[11:02] Sa**
Sir!
**[11:03] Sa**
They struck again.
**[11:05] Sa**
This time it was Yorozuya Hikozaemon,
**[11:08] ---**
the paper dealer in
Kojimachi's third district.
**[11:11] Hei**
No survivors again?
**[11:13] Sa**
Actually...
**[11:14] Sa**
One girl did survive.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Sa**
You played dead to hide from them?
**[11:23] (Flashback) Oko**
Yes.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Sa**
You must have been very frightened.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Sa**
But you're safe now.
**[11:29] (Flashback) Sa**
Do you remember anything about them?
**[11:34] (Flashback) Oko**
They said... they were leaving Edo.
**[11:37] (Flashback) Sa**
The thieves said that?
**[11:40] (Flashback) Oko**
Yes...
**[11:41] (Flashback) Oko**
"Listen, we'll meet up
again in Shimada-juku."
**[11:45] (Flashback) Sa**
Shimada-juku?
**[11:47] (Flashback) Sa**
You're sure of that?
**[11:49] (Flashback) Oko**
Yes.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Oko**
Please... avenge my parents.
**[11:56] Kume**
Constable, sir.
**[11:58] Kume**
Please tell me one thing.
**[12:01] Kume**
Was there a scorched
wooden marker there, too?
***SIGN*** Chigashira no Tanbei
**[12:12] Kume**
Unforgivable...
**[12:15] Kume**
Hasegawa-sama...
**[12:17] Kume**
This impostor who calls himself
Chigashira no Tanbei...
**[12:21] Kume**
Please, let me capture him myself.
**[12:26] Hei**
Kumehachi...
**[12:28] Hei**
That would make you a dog in the
eyes of your fellow thieves.
**[12:34] Kume**
But I can't let someone ruin Chigashira,
the man to whom I owe so much.
**[12:41] Kume**
That's another of our laws.
**[12:46] Kume**
When I'm finished, I swear I'll return.
**[12:53] Sa**
Chief!
**[12:53] Sa**
Wait, please.
**[12:55] Sa**
Letting a prisoner go like
this is unprecedented.
**[12:59] Sa**
What if he runs away? It could
greatly affect your standing.
**[13:02] Hei**
I'm aware.
**[13:04] Sa**
You want to let Kumehachi go,
**[13:06] ---**
even knowing it could lead to your dismissal?
**[13:10] Hei**
Sajima...
**[13:11] ---**
There's no need to worry about him.
**[13:13] Sa**
Chief...
**[13:15] Hei**
If my judgment turns out to be incorrect,
**[13:18] Hei**
I'll gladly cut my own stomach.
***SIGN*** — Shimada-juku —
**[13:44] Kume**
Hey, asshole!
**[13:47] Man**
Whadda you want, kid?
**[13:50] Man**
That mouth will be the death of you.
**[14:06] Kume**
Really? Looks like it'll be the death of *you*.
**[14:11] Man**
I... I was kidding...
**[14:17] Kume**
Anyone got a problem? Try me!
**[14:20] Kume**
I'll be staying at the Suzuya Inn!
***SIGN*** — Arson & Theft Department Staging Office —
**[14:30] Hei**
How's it going?
**[14:32] Sa**
Neither hide nor hair of the thieves yet.
**[14:36] Sa**
Sakai and Koyanagi are watching Kumehachi.
**[14:39] Chu**
Chief!
**[14:40] Chu**
Are you sure we can trust what
that survivor girl said...
**[14:44] ---**
That the gang is meeting up in Shimada-juku?
**[14:49] Sa**
Hey, Chugo.
**[14:50] Chu**
I mean it!
**[14:52] Chu**
Maybe she heard it wrong.
**[14:57] Sa**
It has been ten days since
we entered Shimada-juku.
**[15:01] Sa**
It might be time to consider withdrawing.
**[15:35] Lady**
Sir, you have a visitor.
**[15:40] Kume**
Who might it be?
**[15:43] Kume**
He's standing right there, isn't he?
**[15:47] Tan**
Kume!
**[15:49] Tan**
It's been a while!
**[15:55] Kume**
Boss...
**[16:04] Tan**
How long's it been, again? Fifteen years?
**[16:07] Kume**
Yes.
**[16:09] Tan**
And what brings you here, Kume?
**[16:12] Kume**
Well... I messed up in Edo,
and the heat was on me.
**[16:17] Kume**
I managed to get away,
but I had nowhere to go.
**[16:20] Kume**
I've been forced to hole up here in Shimada.
**[16:23] Tan**
You messed up, eh? Who were you working for?
**[16:27] Kume**
Self-employed, I'm afraid.
**[16:30] Tan**
I see.
**[16:36] Tan**
I'm sure you've heard about
my little smash-and-grab jobs.
**[16:43] Tan**
Mass murder is the best way to steal.
**[16:45] Tan**
There's no way for anyone to trace you.
**[16:48] Kume**
But...
**[16:49] Tan**
The wooden markers?
**[16:51] Tan**
That's just me riling
up the Arson & Theft guys.
**[16:55] Tan**
It's not like anyone knows what I look like.
**[16:59] Kume**
What about the three rules of the true thief?
**[17:02] Tan**
Say, there's a blast from the past!
**[17:06] Tan**
Ah, the foolishness of youth.
**[17:09] Tan**
I can't believe you
remember that stupid crap!
**[17:17] Tan**
Anyway, Kume.
**[17:19] Tan**
Why not come back where you belong?
**[17:23] Tan**
Join up with me again.
**[17:25] Tan**
I won't ride your ass like before.
**[17:29] Kume**
Sure.
**[17:30] Tan**
Really? You'll join me?
**[17:34] Tan**
We'll be so much better off with you!
**[17:37] Tan**
Here.
**[17:38] Tan**
A drink to our bond.
**[17:42] Tan**
Drink.
**[17:46] Tan**
I know it's sudden, but come
to the Mikura-ya tomorrow.
**[17:49] Tan**
The tobacco shop in the seventh
district is our hideout.

***SIGN*** Arson & Theft
**[18:29] Hei**
Arson & Theft Department!
**[18:30] Hei**
Give yourselves up quietly!
**[18:34] Hei**
I don't need a judgment
against scum like you.
**[18:38] Hei**
Submit or die!
**[18:41] Thief**
Damn you!
**[19:22] Tan**
Y-You...
**[19:28] Tan**
You traitorous dog!
**[19:31] Kume**
Imposter Chigashira no Tanbei!
**[19:34] Kume**
Submit to your prison cell!
**[19:38] Tan**
What's that?
**[19:39] Tan**
You think I'm an imposter?
**[19:42] Kume**
Yes.
**[19:44] Kume**
The Tanbei I've kept in
my heart all these years
**[19:48] Kume**
isn't a petty little bastard like you.
**[19:57] Tan**
Hey... W-Wait!
**[20:01] Tan**
Lemme go!
**[20:03] Hei**
He really is an imposter, then?
**[20:06] Kume**
Yes.
**[20:08] Kume**
He's not the real Tanbei.
**[20:10] Kume**
He's an imposter.
**[20:13] Kume**
He's an imposter.
**[20:21] Hei**
Kumehachi...
**[20:23] Kume**
Yes?
**[20:24] Hei**
Would you like to work for me as a spy?
**[20:29] Hei**
I know you don't like the idea, but...
**[20:33] Hei**
Having someone like you
would be a great help to me.
**[20:37] Hei**
Stop by my place if you
ever feel so inclined.
**[20:50] Tat**
I'm back!
**[20:52] Tat**
Sheesh, I'm exhausted.
**[20:55] Tat**
Mother, I'm hungry.
**[20:57] Ku**
Tatsuzo, what in the world?
**[20:59] Ku**
Where are your manners?
**[21:02] Tat**
F-Father!
**[21:05] Tat**
You're back from work?
**[21:10] Tat**
You must be happy you caught
those awful criminals!
**[21:15] Tat**
I worked up a good sweat
at the dojo today, too.
**[21:20] Hei**
Did you?
**[21:25] Ku**
I wonder if your brother
really was training.
**[21:29] Ku**
Don't you, Ojun?
**[21:31] Tat**
Of course I was!
**[21:33] Tat**
Look! My muscle's gotten thicker!
**[21:35] Tat**
Ow!
**[21:38] Hei**
You left yourself open!
**[21:39] Hei**
One point to her.
**[21:41] Ku**
Tatsuzo...
**[21:43] Ku**
What's this on your collar?
**[21:46] Tat**
W-Well... it's blood!
**[21:49] Tat**
I had a nosebleed.
**[21:52] Ku**
I smell face powder on it, too.
**[21:55] Tat**
Hey!
**[21:57] Tat**
Father!
**[21:58] Hei**
Spring's in the air, after all.
**[22:01] Hei**
One must sow a few wild oats.
**[22:02] Ku**
My!

Father!

**[00:17] Man**
Is something the matter?
**[00:23] Man**
Does it hurt?
**[00:26] Man**
That's no good...
**[00:29] Man**
Let me rub it better.
**[00:32] Kaku**
Hey.
**[00:35] Kaku**
What are you doing to my wife?
**[00:39] Man**
I... I was just—

Take the money as recompense.

***SIGN*** Honjo, the Cherry Blossom Mansion
**[02:18] Ku**
Here.
**[02:20] Ku**
I fear Tatsuzo is associating
with the wrong crowd at night.
**[02:27] Hei**
It's important for a boy
to sow a few wild oats.
**[02:30] Ku**
That again?
**[02:32] Ku**
I feel like he's slipping through
my fingers, little by little.
**[02:37] Ku**
I don't even know if he's
still working on his fencing.
**[02:41] Hei**
I'm a bit concerned about that as well,
**[02:43] Hei**
but I'm sure that sooner or later,
**[02:45] ---**
something will happen to make it fun for him.
**[02:48] Hei**
For me, it was a friend.
***SIGN*** Takasugi Ginpei Dojo
**[02:55] (Flashback) Hei**
My name is Hasegawa Tetsusaburo!
**[02:58] (Flashback) Hei**
I'm joining this dojo today.
**[03:05] (Flashback) Kishi**
Kishii Samanosuke.
**[03:07] (Flashback) Kishi**
A pleasure.
**[03:09] Hei**
I had so much fun dueling him that
I threw myself into my training,
**[03:11] Hei**
and before I knew it,
I'd learned what I had to.
**[03:16] Ku**
I do hope Tatsuzo might
find a fine friend like that.
**[03:23] Hei**
Ojun...
**[03:25] Hei**
Your mother's in a low mood.
**[03:31] Hei**
Well, well!
**[03:34] Hei**
That's our Ojun!
**[03:40] Hei**
It's certainly coming down.
**[03:42] Chu**
It may pile up.
**[03:47] Hei**
So? What's the complaint?
**[03:50] Chu**
Shady figures have been
coming and going lately
**[03:52] Chu**
from the Honjo mansion of a gokenin
called Hattori Kakunosuke.
**[03:55] Chu**
They frequently cause trouble in
the nearby businesses, as well.
**[04:00] Chu**
They were hoping you might
do something about it.
**[04:03] Hei**
Lots of dirty gokenin in that neighborhood.
**[04:05] Hei**
They could be plotting something.
**[04:08] Chu**
Indeed.
**[04:10] Hei**
Very well.
**[04:11] Hei**
I'll investigate.
**[04:12] Hei**
I'm quite familiar with the Honjo area.
**[04:26] Hei**
*I left this place...*
**[04:28] ---**
*seventeen years ago, now.*

You're as sharp as ever.
**[07:17] Hei**
Sama?
**[07:19] Hei**
Samanosuke?!
**[07:20] Sa**
Yes!
**[07:22] Hei**
How long have you been watching?
**[07:24] Sama**
I was behind the dojo and saw you come in.
**[07:27] Hei**
What a surprise.
**[07:33] Hei**
Do you come here often?
**[07:34] Sama**
From time to time.
**[07:36] Sama**
I'm living nearby, at the
Shunkei-ji Temple in Oshiage.
**[07:40] Sama**
We really loved to watch those
mountain cherries, didn't we?
**[07:45] Hei**
Y-Y-Yes...
**[07:47] Sa**
That cherry tree mansion
belongs to someone else now.
**[08:07] (Flashback) Ofusa**
I truly do love this cherry tree.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Sama**
O-Ofusa-san... I...
**[08:18] (Flashback) Ofusa**
You do, too?
**[08:19] (Flashback) Sama**
Y-Yes...
**[08:31] Hei**
I wanted to visit Takasugi-sensei's
grave in Shimousa,
**[08:35] Hei**
but I'm also here on work.
**[08:37] Sama**
Seems like it.
**[08:39] Sama**
My, my. Our Honjo no Tetsu
certainly has changed.
**[08:42] Hei**
I visited out of a sense of nostalgia,
**[08:46] Hei**
but I didn't expect to run into you.
**[08:50] Hei**
Sama, do you remember the promise we swore?
**[08:54] Sama**
You bet I do.
**[09:01] (Flashback) Hei**
Sama!
**[09:03] (Flashback) Sama**
T-Tetsu-san?
**[09:05] (Flashback) Hei**
What were you talking to Ofusa-san about?
**[09:07] (Flashback) Sama**
Th-The cherry trees!
**[09:09] (Flashback) Hei**
Don't you go touching Ofusa-san!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Sama**
You either!
**[09:13] (Flashback) Hei**
If you touch her, I'll kill you.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Sama**
Same to you.
**[09:17] Sama**
In the end, she married
the owner of the Omi-ya,
**[09:20] ---**
and we were reduced to
gazing at her from afar.
***SIGN*** Omi-ya
**[09:47] Hei**
She was so beautiful.
**[09:50] Sama**
Yes, very beautiful.
**[09:54] Hei**
Time moves too fast.
**[09:58] Sama**
But I'm still homeless,
single, childless, and broke.
**[10:03] Sama**
I've even lost my dream of
finding a cause to fight for.
**[10:36] San**
I'll be back again!
**[10:38] San**
Boy, it's cold.
**[10:42] Hei**
Isn't that...
**[10:44] Hei**
*What's going on today?*
**[10:48] Hei**
Hey, Hiko!
**[10:54] Hei**
It's me.
**[10:58] Hiko**
I-I-Is that you, Tetsu-san?
**[11:03] Hei**
You really remember me?
***SIGN*** Gotetsu
***SIGN*** Shamo Chicken
***SIGN*** Gotetsu
**[11:05] Hiko**
My, my! You've certainly
come up in the world!
**[11:11] Hei**
I'm still a good-for-nothing.
***SIGN*** Gotetsu
**[11:13] Hiko**
This takes me back! My goodness!
**[11:16] Hiko**
It's been sixteen or seventeen years
since I've seen you too, hasn't it?
**[11:22] Hiko**
"Too"?
**[11:25] Hei**
Oh, nothing...
**[11:28] Hei**
You were coming out of the mansion of the
**[11:32] ---**
gokenin Hattori Kakunosuke
just now, weren't you?
**[11:35] Hei**
What were you doing there?
**[11:38] Hiko**
The gokenin around here are
deep into organized crime.
**[11:43] Hiko**
I happened to have a little spare change,
**[11:46] ---**
so I decided to have a bit of fun there.
**[11:48] Hei**
I see.
**[11:50] Hei**
Here, drink.
**[11:52] Hiko**
Why, thank you!
**[11:54] Hiko**
Isn't this nice?
**[11:56] Hiko**
Getting to feast with Tetsu-san,
just like the old days!
**[12:09] Hei**
Now, tell me more about this
gokenin called Hattori.
**[12:13] Hiko**
There are all kinds of awful
rumors about the man.
**[12:18] Hiko**
He makes a killing with
crooked gambling dens.
**[12:23] Hiko**
But the money from gambling isn't enough,
**[12:25] Hiko**
so he hires ronin to extort protection
money from the nearby shops.
**[12:31] Hiko**
If the owners don't pay up,
they beat the shit out of them.
**[12:37] Hiko**
His wife is a real piece of work herself...
**[12:43] Hiko**
She gambles, she drinks...
**[12:46] Hiko**
I believe her name was Ofusa.
**[12:52] Hei**
Ofusa?
**[12:55] Hiko**
What? Something the matter?
**[12:59] Hei**
The truth is,
**[13:01] ---**
I have a job for you.
**[13:05] Hei**
Would you be willing to help me,
for old times' sake?
**[13:10] Hiko**
Yes, of course! Just name it!
**[13:13] Hiko**
I'll do anything.
**[13:16] Hiko**
I'd put this worthless old body of mine
on the line for you any day, Tetsu-san.
***SIGN*** Gotetsu
***SIGN*** Shamo Chicken
***SIGN*** Gotetsu
**[13:22] Hei**
Don't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you.
**[13:26] Hiko**
Right. Now, what's the job?
**[13:37] Hei**
You're here.
**[13:39] Hiko**
Sir! Em... Emergency! It's truly urgent!
**[13:43] Hei**
What is it?
**[13:44] Hiko**
Sir...
**[13:45] Hiko**
After we talked, I hung around
Hattori's mansion a while,
**[13:49] Hiko**
spreading the rumor that I was
well-connected in the neighborhood.
**[13:55] Hiko**
And soon enough...
**[13:58] (Flashback) Ronin**
Come with me.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Hiko**
Y-You want to burglarize
a large merchant's shop?
**[14:03] (Flashback) Kaku**
Tell anyone and you'll be
floating in the Yoko River.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Hiko**
O-Of course.
**[14:11] (Flashback) Kaku**
Do you know of any skilled ronin?
**[14:14] (Flashback) Hiko**
R-Ronin? Not thieves?
**[14:17] (Flashback) Kaku**
I don't need subtlety.
**[14:20] (Flashback) Kaku**
I intend to kill everyone in the
store to eliminate witnesses.
**[14:24] (Flashback) Hiko**
V-Very well. Where exactly
do you plan to rob?
***SIGN*** Omi-ya
**[14:31] Hei**
The Omi-ya?
**[14:32] Hiko**
Yes, I'm sure of it.
**[14:37] Hei**
I'm counting on you, Hiko.
**[14:39] Hiko**
Yes, sir.
**[14:43] Gate**
Who's there?
**[14:44] Hiko**
It's me. Hikoju.
**[15:04] Hei**
Arson & Theft Department!
**[15:12] Hei**
Kill anyone who resists!
**[15:44] Hei**
Hattori Kakunosuke...
**[15:46] Hei**
Who pointed you to the Omi-ya?
**[15:50] Kaku**
My wife, Ofusa, suggested it.
**[15:53] Kaku**
She was the wife of the previous owner.
**[15:57] Kaku**
She might be pushing forty, but she's
more sprightly than you'd expect.
***SIGN*** Arson & Theft
Department
**[16:13] Sama**
Is what your messenger said true?
**[16:16] Hei**
Yes.
**[16:17] Sama**
Why... Why would Ofusa-san...
**[16:21] Hei**
You want to see her?
**[16:25] Sama**
I... don't know.
**[16:40] Hei**
She's here.
***SIGN*** Reject Evil, Seek Truth
**[16:59] Sama**
That's Ofusa-san?
**[17:04] Chu**
Ofusa...
**[17:05] Chu**
Why did you want to rob the Omi-ya?
**[17:08] Ofu**
Why?
**[17:10] Ofu**
The strong take from the weak.
**[17:12] Ofu**
Isn't that the way of the world?
**[17:15] Ofu**
But my priority this time
was less about the money,
**[17:18] Ofu**
and more that Kakunosuke
should kill Omiya Seibei.
**[17:24] Chu**
What do you have against the Omi-ya?
**[17:26] Chu**
Talk.
**[17:28] Ofu**
Must I?
**[17:31] Ofu**
Then I shall.
**[17:33] Ofu**
It's been almost fifteen years now.
**[17:36] Sign**
I was married to the previous Omiya Seibei.
***SIGN*** Omi-ya
**[17:43] Sign**
I became pregnant right away,
**[17:45] ---**
and thought such happiness
might last forever.
**[17:51] (Flashback) Sei**
Thank you, Ofusa. Thank you.
**[17:54] (Flashback) Ofu**
My husband...
**[17:59] Ofu**
But...
**[18:01] Ofu**
Unfortunately, the child was lost.
**[18:06] Ofu**
Soon after, it happened.
**[18:09] Ofu**
On his way to a business gathering,
**[18:11] ---**
my husband was kicked by a runaway horse,
**[18:14] Ofu**
and died quite suddenly.
**[18:17] Ofu**
The inner workings of a large
company can be quite sordid.
**[18:21] Ofu**
The day after my husband's death,
**[18:24] ---**
the talk started about
who should succeed him.
**[18:27] Ofu**
In the end,
**[18:28] ---**
it was decided that his younger
brother should inherit the business.
**[18:34] Ofu**
Some time later...
**[18:36] (Flashback) Man**
This robe...
**[18:38] (Flashback) Man**
Our regular customer said
it didn't feel right.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Man**
I investigated, and found out you
wrote the measurements wrong.
**[18:45] (Flashback) Ofusa**
No... I did it just as she asked!
**[18:48] (Flashback) Man**
What a pathetic excuse.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Man**
This expensive cloth is dirty.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Man**
You dropped it somewhere, didn't you?
**[18:59] (Flashback) Ofusa**
Of course not!
**[19:01] (Flashback) Man**
Don't look so sour all the time.
**[19:03] (Flashback) ---**
You'll scare away the customers.
**[19:07] (Flashback) Man**
This business has seen nothing
but misfortune since you came.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Man**
I think you're a bad luck charm.
**[19:12] (Flashback) Man**
Maybe you killed my brother, too.
**[19:16] (Flashback) Man**
You can survive on this for a while, I think.
**[19:21] (Flashback) Man**
Catch my drift?
**[19:24] Ofusa**
That's the current Omiya Seibei.
**[19:28] Ofusa**
By that time,
**[19:30] ---**
the mansion where I lived before my marriage
had already been sold to a government official.
**[19:37] Ofusa**
It was Hattori who took me in.
**[19:53] Ofusa**
The more time I spent with that man,
the more I realized it...
**[19:59] Ofusa**
The way the world really is.
**[20:02] Ofusa**
I decided it was my turn to take my share.
**[20:06] Ofusa**
That's all.
**[20:09] Chu**
Even if you have a grudge
against the current Seibei,
**[20:12] Chu**
these acts would eventually
destroy their family company.
**[20:14] Chu**
Don't you think your late
husband would be mortified?
**[20:20] Chu**
What's so funny?
**[20:21] Ofusa**
What you just said.
**[20:24] Ofusa**
How would my late husband even know?
**[20:27] ---**
He's dead.
**[20:30] Ofusa**
It's foolish to worry about
the opinions of the dead.
**[20:36] Chu**
Do you have anything else to say?
**[20:40] Ofu**
I have nothing.
**[20:42] Ofu**
Nothing.
**[21:09] Hei**
The being called "woman"
has no past and no future.
**[21:14] Hei**
She has only what she is now.
**[21:17] Hei**
We seem to have forgotten that.
**[21:27] (Flashback) Fb**
But I'm still homeless,
single, childless, and broke.
**[21:32] (Flashback) Fb**
I've even lost my dream of
finding a cause to fight for.
**[21:40] Hei**
I see.
**[21:44] Hei**
You'll come again, won't you?
**[21:46] Sama**
It seems I've lost Ofusa-san,
and gained you in exchange.
**[21:52] Hei**
It's the same for me.
**[21:54] Sama**
Yeah.
**[21:56] Sama**
I'll come again.

*This man...*
**[00:48] ---**
*He's good.*
**[00:51] Hei**
Who are you?
**[00:53] Hei**
Are you aware that I'm Hasegawa Heizo
of the Arson & Theft Department?
***SIGN*** Arson & Theft
**[00:57] Hei**
Chief!
**[01:07] Sign**
*The smell of perfume...*
**[01:10] Sign**
*A woman?*
***SIGN*** The Sinister White Plum Perfume
**[02:20] Tat**
Is it true?
**[02:21] Tat**
Father, you were attacked?
**[02:25] Hei**
It's nothing, really.
**[02:27] Hei**
As you can see, it's just a scratch.
**[02:29] Tat**
Oh...
**[02:30] Ku**
It's hardly a laughing matter.
**[02:35] Saka**
But that man was clearly
out to kill the chief.
**[02:39] Sa**
Who was it?
**[02:42] Hei**
I do not know.
**[02:43] Hei**
I couldn't see the face.
**[02:46] Hei**
But he smelled of perfume.
**[02:50] Tat**
The culprit was a woman, then?
**[02:52] Hei**
No. The weight behind the strikes...
**[02:55] Hei**
It couldn't be a woman.
**[02:57] Tat**
But a man, wearing perfume?
**[03:00] Sa**
It appears that smell
is all we have to go on.
**[03:22] Han**
*Onihei... you're truly skilled.*
**[03:29] Han**
*But next time...*
**[03:31] Han**
*I will kill you.*
**[03:40] Wife**
How long are you going to let him stay?
**[03:42] Wife**
That ronin, Hanshiro...
**[03:43] Wife**
It's been three years now.
**[03:45] Wife**
He's utterly unsettling.
**[03:47] Kan**
Don't talk like that.
**[03:48] Kan**
He's been searching for his
father's killer for twenty years.
**[03:53] Kan**
He won't be acknowledged as a samurai
until he rights the wrong done to him.
**[03:59] Wife**
Righting the wrong, eh?
**[04:01] Wife**
Well, as long as he keeps paying rent.
**[04:04] Wife**
If he ever stops, throw him out on the spot.
**[04:08] Osa**
Excuse me...
**[04:10] Kan**
Is that you, Osaki?
**[04:12] Kan**
You frightened me!
**[04:13] Wife**
How long have you been standing there?
**[04:15] Osa**
W-Well... breakfast is ready.
**[04:19] Kan**
Look at this girl.
She's practically a shadow.
**[04:23] Wife**
Truly. What an unsettling,
gloomy little thing.
***SIGN*** Restaurant: "Kuginuki-ya"
**[04:36] Ju**
You failed to land your kill
last night, Kaneko-sama.
**[04:40] Han**
When I pursued him, he didn't
turn back, just fled.
**[04:44] Han**
Even the most skilled warriors
usually turn back to look.
**[04:48] Han**
And that's when I strike.
**[04:52] Han**
He didn't grant me that chance.
**[04:54] Han**
Onihei is skilled.
**[04:57] Han**
Stronger than any other man
you've asked me to slay.
**[05:02] Ju**
Are you suggesting 150 ryo
is insufficient payment?
**[05:05] Han**
Three hundred ryo.
**[05:08] Ju**
Very well...
**[05:09] Ju**
The client says money
is no object, after all.
**[05:13] Han**
And who is that client, exactly?
**[05:18] Ju**
No need for you to know that.
**[05:21] Ju**
And, Kaneko-sama...
**[05:25] Ju**
Don't ask for any more after this.
**[05:28] Ju**
Though money is no object,
**[05:30] ---**
three hundred ryo is an extraordinary price.
**[05:33] Ju**
And in this day and age,
you're easily replaceable.
**[05:39] Ju**
By the way, Kaneko-sama...
**[05:41] Ju**
I've been wanting to ask.
**[05:44] Ju**
You always have a fine smell about you.
**[05:48] Ju**
Do you carry an incense bag—
**[05:49] Han**
The smell of blood...
**[05:52] Han**
It's to mask the smell of blood.
**[05:57] Ju**
How many have you killed over the years?
**[06:00] Han**
I've forgotten.

Where's the chief?

Oh, you're here.
**[06:14] Kume**
Yes.
**[06:16] Kume**
He's a man who came to Edo three years ago.
**[06:19] Kume**
He's renowned in the

that pervades the air around him.
**[06:26] Hei**
What's his name?
**[06:27] Kume**
Well...
**[06:28] Kume**
Almost no one knows his real

All they know is that he
never fails to land his kill.

Chief!
**[08:04] Hei**
Kumehachi...
**[08:05] Kume**
I thought I sensed someone
in the shadows as I left.
**[08:09] Kume**
It was eating away at me, so I came back.
**[08:19] Hei**
I owe you a great debt, it seems.
**[08:23] Kume**
Nonsense.
**[08:25] Kume**
I already owe you a debt I can never repay.
**[08:51] Han**
It's not coming off. The smell of blood...
**[09:27] Han**
I don't want it.
**[09:29] Han**
Take it and go.

What's that fine scented
oil you put in your hair?
**[09:59] Woman**
Is the smell overpowering?
**[10:02] Hei**
Not at all.
**[10:04] Hei**
I was simply curious.
**[10:06] Woman**
The Naniwa-ya in Nakamachi
began selling it recently.
**[10:14] Hei**
*This is the smell.*
**[10:17] Woman**
It's called white plum incense.
***SIGN*** Nakamachi, Ikenohata

The store's owner says that a
ronin comes by every three months
**[10:36] ---**
to buy the white plum incense.
**[10:40] Saka**
The last time was exactly three months ago.
**[10:42] Saka**
He should be returning soon.
**[10:46] Chu**
I hope the chief's nose
knows what it's doing.
**[10:59] Kan**
Really, you didn't have
to reheat the rice gruel!
**[11:03] Wife**
You're under no obligation
to assist that ronin.
**[11:06] Wife**
Surely you know that!
**[11:12] Han**
You're a fool...

Risking your masters' good humor
for an unworthy man like myself.
***SIGN*** Perfumes

Really! She's utterly worthless.

I was eighteen when my father was killed.
**[13:58] Han**
He got into a drunken argument with
a fellow retainer of the Ozu Domain,
**[14:01] ---**
Mori Tamenosuke, who killed him.
**[14:06] Han**
It was utterly pointless.
Just two drunkards bickering.
**[14:11] Han**
But that act sealed my fate.
**[14:15] Han**
I searched for Mori all around Japan.
**[14:19] Han**
But I couldn't find him.
**[14:21] Han**
Five years passed, then ten.
**[14:23] Han**
And I kept searching.
**[14:26] Han**
Because until I avenge him, no one
will acknowledge me as a true warrior.
**[14:33] Han**
I debased myself taking hitman
jobs to fund my journey.
**[14:36] Han**
And this is the end result.
**[14:42] Han**
Let's run away, Osaki.
**[14:45] Han**
We'll go somewhere no one knows us.
**[14:48] Han**
You and I, together...
**[14:57] Han**
To run away, I need money.
**[14:59] Han**
I have one job left to finish.
**[15:08] Hei**
I see...
**[15:11] Hei**
Well done, Kumehachi.
**[15:13] Sa**
He's going to come kill
you no matter what, Chief.
**[15:17] Sa**
You should remain at home for now.
**[15:21] Hei**
No, this is a perfect chance.
**[15:24] Saka**
You want to bait him out?
**[15:27] Hei**
I haven't felt this excited for a long time.
**[15:29] Kume**
Chief...
**[15:31] Sa**
Chief! Where are you going?
**[15:33] Hei**
Just the privy! Stop worrying.
**[15:37] Saka**
I wish the chief wasn't so rash.
**[15:40] Sa**
That's not it, Sakai.
**[15:43] Sa**
If this man realizes he can't kill the chief,
**[15:45] Sa**
he might start killing others
to earn his travel expenses.
**[15:53] Sa**
The chief wants to finish this
before the killer targets others.
**[16:01] Han**
It'll be fine, Osaki.
**[16:13] Osa**
My mother gave it to me when I was little.
**[16:16] Han**
I see.
**[16:23] Han**
The sixth hour of morning, at Eitai Bridge.
**[16:41] Hei**
*All right.*
**[16:43] Hei**
*Given his M.O. so far,*
**[16:45] ---**
* he'll attack me when I'm*
* walking home at night, alone.*
**[16:48] Hei**
*Now, how to handle it?*
**[16:53] Hei**
Can't wage war on an empty stomach.
***SIGN*** Boatmans' Inn, Ishijima, Fukagawa

**[17:07] Han**
*He's late.*
**[17:09] Han**
* No... he's let his guard down,*
* thinking I'll only attack him on the road.*
**[17:17] Omi**
Welcome!
**[17:18] Han**
I'd like to take a brief rest.
**[17:20] Han**
Do you have an open room?
**[17:21] Omi**
Of course, yes.
**[17:24] Omi**
Come to the second floor.
**[17:34] Omi**
This room right here—
**[17:52] Hei**
You've changed.
**[17:54] Hei**
Your swordplay before had weight to it...
**[17:58] Hei**
As if you'd channeled your
life into your sword.
**[18:00] Hei**
But that's gone now.
**[18:03] Hei**
Have you discovered a
reason to cling to life?
**[18:08] Hei**
Well?
**[18:10] Hei**
Are you afraid to die?
**[18:16] Han**
*I'm pathetic.*
**[18:18] Han**
*With my enemy right there...*
**[18:20] Han**
* I'll never be a true warrior.*
* I'm not even a novice!*
**[18:26] Han**
*Never mind.*
**[18:27] Han**
*I can find money other ways.*
**[18:29] Han**
*Then Osaki and I will leave Edo...*
**[18:34] Han**
*Find a place where nobody knows us...*
**[18:52] Han**
Y-You... Why?
**[18:56] Ri**
My real name is... former
retainer of the Ozu Domain,
**[19:00] Ri**
Mori Tamenosuke!
**[19:02] Han**
Mori... Tamenosuke...
**[19:05] Ri**
Yes, Kaneko Hanshiro-dono.
**[19:07] Ri**
I am your father's killer,
the man you've been searching for.
**[19:15] Ri**
If seeking vengeance is the
nature of the warrior...
**[19:18] Ri**
Then so is striking back against the avenger!
**[19:21] Hei**
Don't do it!
**[19:22] Ri**
Forgive me!
**[19:27] Han**
I didn't even recognize the
man I sought to kill...
**[19:47] Ri**
What am I to do now?
**[19:52] Hei**
Hanshiro was taking jobs
from some shady people.
**[19:55] Hei**
Who knows what they might
have gotten him mixed up in?
**[20:00] Hei**
At any rate, you should
probably leave Edo for a year.
**[20:04] Ri**
Yes.
**[20:05] Hei**
I'll look after your inn while you're gone.
**[20:09] Ri**
Th-Thank you, sir.
**[20:12] Ri**
Thank you!
**[20:15] Hei**
*How ironic.*
**[20:17] Hei**
*A man, a slave to his own past,*
**[20:20] ---**
* found a reason to set it aside*
* and live in the present*
**[20:23] Hei**
*only for that past to catch up with him then.*
**[20:33] Ri**
I'm so sorry, Omichi.
I've made such trouble for you.
**[20:37] Omi**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[20:38] Omi**
I'm your wife, after all.
**[20:43] Ri**
That's true.
**[20:51] Omi**
We should hurry.
**[20:54] Omi**
The sun's coming up.
**[21:03] Hei**
Even so...
**[21:04] Hei**
That man, Kaneko Hanshiro.
**[21:07] Hei**
I had to admire his swordsmanship.
**[21:10] Hei**
I wouldn't mind dying at
the sword of such a man.
**[21:16] Hei**
Don't look at me that way.
**[21:20] Hei**
I'm joking.
**[21:22] Sa**
Chief, as for who ordered
your assassination...
**[21:26] Sa**
Do you have any leads?
**[21:29] Hei**
Too many to be useful.
**[21:31] Hei**
I've put away thousands
of thieves, after all.
**[21:35] Sa**
But if we don't stop them...
**[21:37] Hei**
Yeah, I'm sure that's not the
last assassin who'll be after me.
**[21:42] Tat**
Worry not, Father!
**[21:44] Tat**
If anyone manages to kill you,
**[21:47] Tat**
I'll avenge you without fail!
**[21:50] Hei**
Tatsuzo...
**[21:51] Ku**
You fool!
**[21:52] Ku**
Shouldn't you pledge to protect him first?
**[21:57] Ku**
Besides, any man who could beat your
father could surely beat you, too!
**[22:01] Ku**
Such a pledge would only get you killed!
**[22:04] Ku**
But my father—
**[22:05] Ku**
You should focus genuinely
on your fencing practice...
**[22:05] Hei**
*I won't be dying just yet.*

They had seasonal fish today.
**[00:23] Hei**
Then let's begin.
**[00:25] Sa**
Chief!
**[00:29] Sa**
Forgive me for interrupting your dinner.
**[00:32] Sa**
A woman named Omasa has just arrived.
**[00:45] Oma**
How long it's been.
**[00:48] Hei**
Yes.
**[01:03] Hei**
How have you been?
***SIGN*** Battle of Blood
**[02:17] Oma**
I've reached a turning point.
**[02:19] Oma**
I've decided if I'm to die
either way, Tetsu-san...
**[02:22] Oma**
Rather, Hasegawa-san...
I'd rather it be at your hands.
**[02:27] Hei**
What do you mean?
**[02:30] Oma**
It happened several days ago.
***SIGN*** Takeda-ya

Big Sister... I love you.
**[03:23] (Flashback) Gen**
Omasa, it's me.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Oma**
The agreement was no violence!
**[04:15] (Flashback) Oma**
Why?
**[04:24] (Flashback) Oma**
It's all my fault.
**[04:26] (Flashback) ---**
I'm sorry.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Gen**
The next job's another smash-and-grab.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Gen**
I want you infiltrating the shop in
question by noon on the day of the job.
**[04:42] (Flashback) Gen**
Understand?
**[04:45] (Flashback) Gen**
Are you still thinking
about that girl's death?
**[04:49] (Flashback) Oma**
Well...
**[04:51] (Flashback) Gen**
No killing, no raping,
no stealing from the poor...
**[04:56] (Flashback) Gen**
You really think we can survive
following that old cliche?
**[05:01] (Flashback) Oma**
Are you going to just
kill everyone this time?
**[05:05] (Flashback) Gen**
I'll be in touch within five days.
**[05:10] (Flashback) Gen**
Understand?
**[05:16] Sa**
Five days, eh?
**[05:18] Sa**
Not much time left, then.
**[05:21] Hei**
What shop is he after?
**[05:23] Oma**
I don't know.
**[05:24] Oma**
For smash-and-grab jobs, Genpachi prefers
not to reveal the facts until the day of.
**[05:32] Hei**
Where are they hiding out?
**[05:34] Oma**
I fear I don't know that, either.
**[05:37] Oma**
Genpachi is a highly cautious man.
**[05:40] Oma**
He keeps us carefully separated,
**[05:42] ---**
so that even if one of us is captured,
it can't be traced back to him.
**[05:50] Hei**
So there's only one way to catch him.
**[05:54] Hei**
Omasa, remain as their ally and find him.
**[06:01] Oma**
You want me to become a spy?
**[06:04] Hei**
Can you do it?
**[06:12] Hei**
Please do.
**[06:13] Oma**
Very well.
**[06:19] Chu**
An admirable girl, in this day and age.
**[06:23] Chu**
Don't you agree, Sakai-san? Sajima-san?
**[06:29] Sa**
Chief...
**[06:30] Sa**
If I may ask, can we truly
trust this Omasa woman?
**[06:35] Saka**
How do you two know each other, exactly?
**[06:40] Hei**
We knew each other long ago.
**[06:43] Hei**
Omasa's father was a thief who went
by the name Tazugane no Chusuke.

He was an amusing man. Even called

But a person can change

This Omasa of yours...
**[08:15] Hei**
No, it was clear at a glance.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Hei**
You'll help me, then?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Oma**
I think that would make my late father happy.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Hei**
Then...
**[08:30] (Flashback) Oma**
I put my life in your hands, Hasegawa-sama.

She's the same Omasa I knew back then.

*Big Sister! I love you!*

I'm sure Omasa-san never
forgot you for a moment.
**[09:24] Hei**
Don't be silly.
**[09:26] Hei**
She was a little girl back then, barely ten.
**[09:31] Ku**
All the more reason she'd remember you.
**[09:34] Ku**
Such is a woman's nature.
**[09:50] Oma**
Ow!
**[09:57] Hiko**
Ma-chan!
**[10:01] Oma**

**[10:04] Hiko**
Tetsu-san... rather,
Hasegawa-sama told me about you.

You're working with him, too?
**[10:09] Hiko**
Yes, I'm a proper spy, just like you are!
**[10:14] Oma**
That's right. You loved
Hasegawa-sama too, didn't you?
**[10:19] Hiko**
"Too," you say?
**[10:21] Oma**
What does that mean?
**[10:23] Hiko**
Oh, sorry.
**[10:25] Hiko**

It starts two days from now.
**[10:54] Oma**
What's the mark?
**[10:55] Gen**
As always, I'll reveal that on the day.
**[10:57] Oma**
Are we using the same crew as last time?
**[11:00] Gen**
Why so many questions?
**[11:02] Oma**
It's nothing, really.
**[11:04] Oma**
We left on bad terms last time.
**[11:06] Oma**
I'd like to make up with them
before the job kicks off.

Hey, Chu-san...
**[00:29] Oma**
That thing you said before...
**[00:31] Oma**
It's the last time for what?
**[00:36] Chu**
My last time meeting you like this.
**[00:39] Oma**
Wait!
**[00:42] Oma**
Don't tell me...

Yeah...

I'm sure.
**[02:16] (Flashback) Kume**
The gravestone charm left
next to the corpse...
**[02:20] (Flashback) Kume**
It's his calling card.
**[02:22] (Flashback) Hei**
Hakabi no Shugoro...
**[02:25] (Flashback) Hei**
How difficult.
**[02:29] (Flashback) Hei**
We'll be enhancing our
patrols throughout the city.
**[02:32] (Flashback) Hei**
Make the preparations.
**[02:34] (Flashback) Hei**
Kimura...
**[02:36] (Flashback) Hei**
Chugo, you'll be part of them.
**[02:39] (Flashback) Chu**
I... will?

Chief...
**[02:43] (Flashback) Sa**
Bunny Chu? Are you sure?
**[02:45] (Flashback) Saka**
Bunny Chu can't handle this.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Hei**
Why do you call him "Bunny Chu"?
**[02:50] (Flashback) Sawa**
Well... the sweets shop Matsumura,
near the Shiba Shinmei Temple,
**[02:54] (Flashback) ---**
sells these manju bunnies.
**[02:58] (Flashback) Sawa**
They look so much like Kimura...
**[03:01] (Flashback) Sawa**
We just couldn't help ourselves.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Hei**
Kimura.
**[03:04] (Flashback) Hei**
Why don't you fight back a bit?
**[03:06] (Flashback) Hei**
Give the paperwork a rest,
**[03:08] (Flashback) Hei**
man up, and show them what you can do.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Chu**
Um...
**[03:14] (Flashback) Chu**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[03:19] Chu**
So I went, patrolling Ueno and Yanaka.

**[03:43] (Flashback) Oma**
Thank you for coming.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Oma**
So cute!
**[03:54] (Flashback) Chu**
Hey, I think you're moving a little too fast!
**[03:57] (Flashback) Oma**
When I like a customer,
I just can't hold back!
**[04:00] (Flashback) Oma**
What's your name, Mr. Samurai?
**[04:02] (Flashback) Chu**
Ch-Chugo. Um... I'm a ronin
from Ueda... in Shinano.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Oma**
Chu-san, then!
**[04:09] (Flashback) Oma**
Chu-san!
**[04:18] (Flashback) Oma**

**[04:30] (Flashback) Oma**
Welcome!
**[04:31] Oma**
And the next thing you knew,
you were out of money?
**[04:36] Chu**
I used the last of the
money my father left me.
**[04:40] Chu**
And I've borrowed to the limits
of my relatives' goodwill.
**[04:44] Chu**
There's no more blood to get from this stone.
**[04:47] Oma**
Chu-san...
**[04:51] (Flashback) Zen**
Forgive me, Chugo.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Zen**
My awkward disposition has left
me little to bequeath you.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Zen**
You get your foolish honesty from me.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Zen**
Listen to me.
**[05:10] (Flashback) Zen**
Live your life... on the

**[05:17] (Flashback) Chu**
Father!
**[05:19] (Flashback) Chu**
Father!
**[05:23] Chu**
Father, forgive me.
**[05:28] Oma**
Chu-san!
**[05:31] Chu**
S-Silly... Cut that out.
**[05:33] Chu**
Didn't you hear what I said?
**[05:35] Oma**
Yes... I'm so happy you went
through all that just to see me.
**[05:40] Chu**
That's not the point!
**[05:42] Chu**
I'm trying to tell you...
**[05:44] Oma**
I understand.
**[05:46] Oma**
But you don't have to worry about the money.
**[05:48] Oma**
I'll handle your bill.
**[05:55] Chu**
You... how did you...
**[05:57] Oma**
Another of my customers
was willing to pay for us.
**[06:01] Oma**
So you can keep on coming.
**[06:03] Oma**
Please, hold me again.
**[06:06] Chu**
You mean it?
**[06:07] Oma**
I want you.
**[06:08] Chu**
W-Wait, that's not the main—
**[06:15] Sa**
That fool, Bunny Chu...
**[06:17] Sa**
Has he been acting strangely of late?
**[06:19] Saka**
Yes.
**[06:20] Saka**
He's seemed more refined, in a way.
**[06:25] Sa**
Does going from paperwork to patrols
really change a man that much?
**[06:29] Saka**
That steamed luster. That glowing vitality...
**[06:34] Saka**
He'd outshine even a real manju bunny.
**[06:38] Sa**
Chief!
**[06:40] Hei**
What is it?
**[06:46] Hei**
Call Kume.
**[06:48] Saka**
Yes, sir!
***SIGN*** Iroha
**[06:53] Kawa**
How's that ronin you're so fond of doing?
***SIGN*** Iroha
**[06:57] Oma**
He's coming constantly, thanks to you.
**[07:01] Oma**
But why are you doing this, Master Kawagoe?
**[07:05] Oma**
Why give me ten whole ryo?
**[07:08] Kawa**
That friend of yours was sounding
rather light in the wallet.
**[07:15] Kawa**
Hearing he's been passing
on the wine and food lately
**[07:18] ---**
inclined me to step in.
**[07:20] Oma**
Even so...
**[07:23] Kawa**
None of that, now.
**[07:24] Kawa**
I'm too old for that nonsense.
**[07:28] Kawa**
I just want to spend time with you like this.
**[07:32] Oma**
You're very strange.
**[07:34] Kawa**
I am not.
**[07:37] Kawa**
While a man engages in wicked deeds,
he may find himself doing good.
**[07:42] Kawa**
A man who mainly does good may
find himself acting wickedly.
**[07:47] Kawa**
That's how life is.
**[07:51] Oma**
Kawagoe-san, are you a wicked man?
**[07:53] Oma**
I don't believe it.
**[07:54] Kawa**
I need to be wicked to do what I do.
**[07:59] Kawa**
At any rate, it's time for
me to return to Kawagoe.
**[08:04] Kawa**
I won't make it back to Edo for a while.
**[08:07] Kawa**
Look after that ronin of yours...
**[08:10] Kawa**
Omatsu.
**[08:14] Chu**
Kawagoe-san said that?
**[08:17] Oma**
I would have liked you two to meet,
**[08:21] ---**
but I don't know if he'll come back now.
**[08:24] Chu**
I see.
**[08:26] Chu**
I was hoping to meet him and
show my appreciation, but...
**[08:32] Chu**
"While a man engages in wicked deeds,
he may find himself doing good.
**[08:35] Chu**
A man who mainly does good may
find himself acting wickedly."
**[08:39] Chu**
What a deep saying!
**[08:43] Oma**
It doesn't make any sense to me.
**[08:45] Chu**
No, finer words were never spoken!
**[08:47] Chu**
Master Kawagoe is a true master of life!
**[08:50] Chu**
I'm sure he is!
**[08:55] Sa**
You great fool!
**[08:57] Sa**
Skipping patrol to engage in
afternoon delight at a brothel?
**[09:01] Sa**
And you call yourself a samurai!
**[09:04] Sa**
You call yourself part of
the Arson & Theft Department?!
**[09:06] Chu**
F-Forgive me!
**[09:08] Sa**
I was wondering why you were acting
so pleased with yourself lately.
**[09:12] Sa**
I could call you Weasel Chu. Rat Chu!
**[09:16] Sa**
Maybe Mouse Chu!
**[09:18] Sa**
You can spend the rest of your life
crawling around the floorboards!
**[09:21] Hei**
That's enough, Sajima.
**[09:24] Sa**
Sir...
**[09:26] Hei**
Hey, Bunny Chu.
**[09:29] Hei**
I know I told you to man up...
**[09:32] Hei**
But I think you chose the
wrong way to go about it.
**[09:37] Hei**
I'm putting you on office duty for a while.

Well, well, if it isn't Master Kawagoe.

Join me in the back.

**[10:04] Sada**
Sir.
**[10:06] Oto**

They've been popular lately.
**[10:20] Kawa**
Are things proceeding as planned?
**[10:23] Oto**
Yes, sir.
**[10:24] Oto**
Everything's in perfect order.
**[10:26] Kawa**
This will be our last job in Edo.
**[10:29] Kawa**
I want to make it a smash-and-grab job...
**[10:32] Kawa**
Since we'll be refraining
from big jobs in Sendai.
**[10:36] Oto**
Understood.
**[10:38] Oto**
But Boss, you know...
**[10:42] Oto**
Your love life?
**[10:45] Oto**
You've been frequenting the Iroha Teahouse,
**[10:46] ---**
where the authorities could
burst in at any time.
**[10:50] Oto**
It's had me worried.
**[10:55] Kawa**
Listen, Otokichi.
**[10:57] Kawa**
Do you remember a woman named Oshizu?
**[11:01] Oto**
Yes...
**[11:02] Oto**
I do remember.
**[11:05] Oto**
But that was twenty years ago...
**[11:08] Kawa**
I met a woman with similarly
fine features and disposition.
**[11:13] Kawa**
It's not a mad infatuation
or anything like that.
**[11:17] Kawa**
It's just pleasing to have her dote on me.
**[11:23] Oto**
For heaven's sake, Boss...
**[11:29] Oto**
Excuse me.
**[11:31] Oto**
The item you asked for.
**[11:35] Kawa**
Don't worry. I can keep the two separated.
**[11:38] Kawa**
Despite how I look, I'm
still Hakabi no Shugoro,
**[11:42] ---**
known for his violent thefts.
**[11:46] Kawa**
Let the others know...
**[11:49] Kawa**
This job will really send the blood flying.
**[11:59] Sa**
That fool, Bunny Chu...
**[12:01] Sa**
Has he been acting strangely of late?
**[12:02] Ko**
Yes. The swelling sense of
satisfaction is gone like a dream.
**[12:08] Sawa**
He looks half-dead.
**[12:10] Sawa**
We can't tease him like this.
**[12:13] Ko**
They say a rabbit can die of sorrow.
**[12:16] Ko**
Has something sad happened to him?
**[12:20] Ko**
Chief!
**[12:21] Hei**

**[12:33] Chu**
*Lonely...*
**[12:36] Chu**

Why not?
**[18:03] Chu**
Well... the truth is...
**[18:07] Chu**
I... I wasn't actually heading out on patrol.
**[18:11] Chu**
I was sneaking out to see a

**[18:16] Chu**
And... I'm very sorry!
**[18:24] Hei**
Bunny Chu...
**[18:25] Hei**
Don't be so stiff.

Yes, sir.
**[19:02] Hei**
You're very good at that.
**[19:03] Hei**
Fantastic technique!
**[19:05] Chu**
I frequently massaged my
late father's shoulders.
**[19:11] Hei**
He passed six years ago, didn't he?
**[19:16] Hei**
I'm told he was serious and passionate
about his work, but also kind.
**[19:23] Hei**
Though this was before my time,
so I never met him.
**[19:35] Chu**
S-Sorry.
**[19:40] Hei**
The truth is, the Iroha Teahouse
is closing today.
**[19:47] Hei**
Lord Shirakawa wouldn't stop complaining.
**[19:51] Hei**
"To think of such a place so close
to the shogun's family cemetery."
**[19:55] Hei**
So they're closing it down.
**[20:00] Hei**
You could still make it in time.
**[20:05] Chu**
Thank you for the three ryo.
**[20:09] Chu**

**[20:49] Woman**
Go on.
**[20:51] Woman**
It's true. You look just like your father!
**[20:55] Woman**
Calling yourself a ronin from Shinano...
how heartless!
**[20:58] Woman**
Had you given your full name from the start,
**[21:00] ---**
I would have seen to you personally.
**[21:02] Woman**
You see, yesterday, Hasegawa-sama stopped by,
**[21:05] Woman**
and offered to pay any
expenses you'd racked up.
**[21:09] Woman**
I said, "Which ronin was that?"
**[21:11] Woman**
And he said it was an employee
of his named Kimura Chugo.
**[21:15] Woman**
I said, "The son of Kimura Yoshiyuki-sama?"
**[21:18] Woman**
My goodness, I was so surprised!
**[21:21] Woman**
That's right. Your father
was a customer of mine!
**[21:25] Woman**
He was so terribly kind to me.
**[21:28] Woman**
Even when times were hard,
he always found the money to pay me.
**[21:33] Woman**
And he was quite good in other departments.

It must be fate that Omatsu
would fall for you.

Speaking of which, are you hungry?
**[00:30] Chu**
I wonder what the local specialty is...
**[00:34] Hei**
Hey, Chugo.
**[00:36] Chu**
Yes?
**[00:37] Hei**
We'll part ways here.
**[00:39] Hei**
I'd like to proceed in my own time.
**[00:41] Hei**
You go on ahead to the post station.
**[00:43] Chu**
Oh, I couldn't!
**[00:46] Chu**
Your wife insisted that I look after you!
**[00:53] Hei**
That nag, Hisae...
**[01:00] Chu**
I'm a member of the
Arson & Theft Department!
**[01:02] Chu**
I could never accept a bri—
**[01:04] Hei**
This could buy you your fill of that
'wild flavor' outside of Edo, right?
**[01:17] Hei**
Rabbits are such docile creatures.
**[01:20] Hei**
At last, I can enjoy the quiet.

Why are you protecting these criminals?
**[03:12] Hei**
Criminals?
**[03:13] Numa**
Yes.
**[03:14] Numa**
They're servants of the Mitsuke-juku
brewery belonging to Masuya Ichigoro,
**[03:19] ---**
Tadaroku and Omoyo.
**[03:21] Numa**
They stole money from
their master, Ichigoro,
**[03:26] ---**

**[03:28] Numa**
They are utterly depraved!

Well? Am I right?

**[04:28] Zen**
I come here frequently to hawk my wares.
**[04:34] Hei**
Delicious!
**[04:35] Zen**
Right?
**[04:36] Zen**
Now about that man, Masaya Ichigoro,
that they mentioned...
**[04:40] Zen**
In addition to brewing, he's a
moneylender who runs a brothel!
**[04:45] Zen**
He's known in the area as a right bastard!
**[04:48] Zen**
He starves his servants and
works them like slaves.
**[04:52] Zen**
Rumors say he treats them worse than cattle!
**[04:55] Zen**
I'll bet you those two ran off because
they couldn't take it anymore!
**[04:58] Zen**
And the money they took was just two ryo!
**[05:03] Zen**
I think they've been through hell.
**[05:07] Zen**
Don't you agree, sir?

I like you even more now, Kimura-sama!

Hei-san, is it?
**[06:48] Hei**
Very impressive.
**[06:49] Zen**
Really, it's nothing.
**[06:52] Zen**
Hei-san...
**[06:53] Zen**
Rather, Kimura Heizo-sama.
**[06:55] Hei**
Why the sudden formality?
**[06:57] Zen**
You said before you lived a wanderer's life.
**[07:01] Hei**
Yes.
**[07:02] Hei**
Ronin like me are a dime a dozen these days.
**[07:06] Hei**
Men with no future, no dreams, and no hopes.

Kimura-sama. I was wondering
if you'd help me with my work.
**[07:17] Hei**
Oh? What's your trade, exactly?
**[07:20] Zen**
Theft.
**[07:23] Zen**
I go by the name Isuga no Zenpachi.
**[07:27] Zen**
I've always worked on my own,
**[07:30] Zen**
but I've really come to
like you, Kimura-sama.
**[07:34] Zen**
What do you think?
**[07:41] Zen**
C'mon, Hei-san!
**[07:43] Zen**
I'm serious about this!
**[07:45] Hei**
Sorry, sorry.
**[07:47] Hei**
I thought it might be something like that.
**[07:50] Hei**
All right. It sounds interesting.
**[07:53] Zen**
Then...
**[07:54] Hei**
Sure. If I can be useful, use me.
**[07:58] Zen**
I see, I see!
**[08:00] Zen**
How delightful!
**[08:02] Zen**
Well, then...
**[08:05] Zen**
One word of warning, though,
Hei-san: No killing.
**[08:08] Zen**
No raping women, either.
**[08:10] Zen**
And the most important of all...
**[08:13] Zen**
We don't steal from good people trying
to make their way earnestly in the world.
**[08:19] Zen**
The greedy folks who navigate the world
making others suffer to feed their fortunes...
**[08:25] Zen**
They're the only ones we're
allowed to steal from.
**[08:29] Hei**
You don't have to tell me.
**[08:32] Zen**
Then, a drink to our bond!
**[08:37] Zen**
Now, let's get on to your first job.
**[08:39] Zen**
Our target is...
**[08:40] Hei**

**[09:02] Zen**
Yes.
**[09:05] Zen**
You see that, Hei-san?
**[09:06] Zen**
That Numata guy doesn't just look the
other way on Greedy Goro's wicked deeds.
**[09:12] Zen**
He's a real piece of work who
arrests anyone who gets in his way.
**[09:18] Zen**
I really hate authority types to begin with.
**[09:22] Zen**
They strut around like they own the place
and push the weak around for sport!
**[09:27] Zen**
Aren't I right, Hei-san?
**[09:31] Hei**
Anyway... what will happen
to those two they took in?
**[09:37] Zen**
Probably throw them somewhere
in the mansion and torture them.
**[09:42] Zen**
To set an example to the others.
**[09:46] Zen**
I stole from the Masu-ya once five years ago.
**[09:50] Hei**
A five-year interval, eh?
**[09:51] Hei**
You think you can pull it off?
**[09:53] Zen**
It's no fun to do it the same way twice.
**[09:56] Zen**
Have a look, now.
**[09:58] Hei**
What about those two? You won't save them?
**[10:02] Zen**
Don't get the wrong idea, Hei-san.
**[10:05] Zen**
We're thieves, that's it.

All we're after is the money.

fire or an attack so he could escape on his own.

and how to get away if you fail...

Everything I've learned

**[18:17] Hei**

They've got this annoying old bloke with

But old man... this is your treasure.
It's like your soul.

That's why I want you to have it, Hei-san.

I don't have much longer to go.
**[18:50] Zen**
Six months, at best.

The pain in your stomach is psychosomatic.

**[00:20] (Flashback) Ume**
Hey!
**[00:21] (Flashback) Ume**
This is my shop! Get lost!
**[00:28] (Flashback) Ume**
You little brat... you get lost, too!
**[00:32] (Flashback) Oto**
Hey, old man...
**[00:33] (Flashback) Oto**
That's no way to talk to a customer.
**[00:36] (Flashback) Ume**
What? Customer?
**[00:38] (Flashback) Oto**
Yeah. I came here to buy something.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Oto**
You'll never stay open if you talk to
all your paying customers like that.
**[00:46] (Flashback) Ume**
I see... a customer. What are you buying?
**[00:49] (Flashback) Oto**
Good question.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Ume**
Well? What are you buying?
**[00:52] (Flashback) ---**
Spit it out already.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Oto**
That.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Oto**
I came to buy those two water jars.
**[00:59] (Flashback) Ume**
Wh-What?
**[01:00] (Flashback) Ume**
Who is that kid?
**[01:01] (Flashback) Ume**
Who is he?
**[01:03] (Flashback) Ume**
It's a bully named Otomatsu.
**[01:04] (Flashback) Ume**
Yeah, he's famous.
**[01:07] (Flashback) Oto**
I wanna buy those.
**[01:08] (Flashback) Ume**
Yeah, right. Cut the jokes already!
**[01:12] (Flashback) Oto**
It's not a joke. I'm taking
those two water jars home.
**[01:17] (Flashback) Ume**
Don't be stupid!
**[01:18] (Flashback) Ume**
A tiny little brat like you could
never carry those huge things home.
**[01:23] (Flashback) Oto**
But I can. I'll carry those
two jars with my own hands.
**[01:26] (Flashback) Ume**
Fine, they're yours!
**[01:29] (Flashback) Oto**
How much?
**[01:30] (Flashback) Ume**
Three mon apiece.
**[01:32] (Flashback) Oto**
That's cheap.
**[01:34] (Flashback) Oto**
As cheap as a piece of candy.
**[01:38] (Flashback) Oto**
Keep the change.
**[01:40] (Flashback) Oto**
Listen to him!
**[01:42] (Flashback) Oto**
He's got a grown man by the nose!
**[01:43] (Flashback) Ume**
You little brat...
**[01:45] (Flashback) Ume**
Fine, them. Take them!
**[01:48] (Flashback) Ume**
But you'd better carry
both with your own hands!
**[01:50] (Flashback) Ume**
Go on, take them!
**[01:52] (Flashback) Ume**
What's wrong with you, brat?
**[01:54] (Flashback) Ume**
What's the matter?
**[01:55] (Flashback) Ume**
If you can't carry them both back,
**[01:56] (Flashback) ---**
you'll have to shut your big mouth then!
**[02:15] (Flashback) Ume**
What are you doing, you brat?!
**[02:17] (Flashback) Oto**
Sir... even I can lift them when
they're in pieces like this.
**[02:23] (Flashback) Oto**
The jars I bought belong to me.
**[02:25] (Flashback) Oto**
And since they're mine, I'm free
to break them if I want to, right?
**[02:31] (Flashback) Cus**
Yeah, the kid's right!
**[02:35] (Flashback) Cus**
The kid really got you there!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Cus**
He's such a clever child.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Cus**
Yeah!
**[02:41] (Flashback) Cus**
Get him, kid!
**[02:43] (Flashback) Oto**
Listen up, old man.
**[02:45] (Flashback) Oto**
I never promised I'd bring
them back on one trip.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Oto**
I just said I'd do it by myself.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Oto**
I'll be back for the rest,
so please leave them here.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Ume**
Damn it! That little brat!
**[03:00] (Flashback) Cus**
He's a force to be reckoned with!
**[03:02] (Flashback) Cus**
Really.
**[03:04] (Flashback) Cus**
He'll be somebody some day.
***SIGN*** The Pot-Smashing Boy
**[04:09] Hei**
Well, well!
**[04:11] Hei**
Is that sweetfish?
**[04:13] Hei**
What a luxury.
**[04:15] Hei**
It's not too much, is it?
**[04:18] Hisa**
No need to fret, my darling.
**[04:20] Hei**
Thank you for all you go through.
**[04:23] Hisa**
It's nothing, really.
**[04:26] Hei**
Then I'll eat it gratefully.
**[04:32] Jun**
Father! Father! Father!
**[04:35] Hei**
Ojun!
**[04:39] Jun**
Father, look! Pretty good, huh?
**[04:42] Hei**
Yes, it is.
**[04:43] Hisa**
Ojun! Your father's enjoying his dinner.
**[04:46] Hisa**
You're being terribly rude.
**[04:49] Jun**
But Father's always so busy.
**[04:52] Kusa**
Please leave right now!
**[04:54] Jun**
I said no!
**[04:57] Hisa**
Ojun! Apologize this instant!
**[05:01] Hisa**
Ojun!
**[05:02] Jun**
Can't get me!
**[05:03] Hisa**
Come back!
**[05:05] Hei**
Hey now, you two...
**[05:21] Hei**
Ojun!
**[05:27] Hei**
Ojun! Ojun! Ojun!
**[05:33] Hei**
Hey... can't we make up already?
**[05:42] Hei**
Maybe I was too hard on her.
**[05:46] Ko**
Chief?
**[05:50] Chu**
Can we have a minute?
**[05:54] Hei**
What do you mean, the inquiry is stalling?
**[05:58] Ko**
It's a man named Ishikawa Gohei.
**[06:00] ---**
We caught him based on a report from Hikoju.
**[06:03] Chu**
He's a real smart-mouth.
**[06:07] (Flashback) Go**
You'd better have proof
that I stole anything.
***SIGN*** Reject Evil, Seek Truth
**[06:12] (Flashback) Sign**
All you have is testimony
from your spy, right?
**[06:15] (Flashback) Sign**
And the spy is a former thief himself.
**[06:18] (Flashback) Sign**
You trust the word of someone like that
over a lifelong straight arrow like me?
**[06:25] (Flashback) Sign**
That doesn't seem right.
**[06:27] Hei**
Hikoju, you're sure it was Ishikawa Gohei?
**[06:31] Hiko**
Of course I am!
**[06:34] Hiko**
That scary burn scar on his face...
**[06:37] Hiko**
I'd never mistake him.
**[06:39] Saka**
Burn scar?
**[06:42] Hei**
And Mamushi no Shinbei's gang are
a group of unapologetic murderers.
**[06:52] Hei**
If Gohei is here in Edo, that means
they're looking to pull a job here.
**[06:58] Hei**
Isn't that right, Hikoju?
**[06:59] Hiko**
Yes.
**[07:00] Hei**
We need him to reveal their hideout,
**[07:03] Hei**
as well as the location of
their upcoming heist, and fast.
**[07:07] Saka**
We know that, of course...
**[07:09] Hei**
What's wrong? He didn't talk
his way around you too, did he?
**[07:13] Saka**
F-Forgive us, sir.
**[07:15] Saka**
Sajima-sama held an inquiry just now,
but that went poorly as well.
**[07:22] Hei**
Just what kind of man is this, now?
**[07:36] Hei**
* I think I've seen that*
* man somewhere before.*
**[07:42] Chu**
F-Forgive me!
**[07:53] Hei**
It's him!
**[07:58] Hei**
Otomatsu!
**[07:59] (Flashback) Fb**
He's a force to be reckoned with!
**[08:01] (Flashback) Fb**
Really.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Fb**
He'll be somebody some day.
**[08:07] (Flashback) Oto**
Serves them right.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Oto**
Grown men are all so stupid.
**[08:11] (Flashback) Oto**
Who needs them?!
**[08:19] (Flashback) Oto**
Mom... what do you see in that guy?
**[08:26] (Flashback) Oto**
What do you want?
**[08:28] (Flashback) Oto**
Get away!
**[08:32] (Flashback) Oto**
I thought so.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Oto**
I caught a glimpse before.
**[08:40] (Flashback) Oto**
Are you—
**[08:41] (Flashback) Oto**
Shut up.
**[08:42] (Flashback) Hei**
Those scars—
**[08:43] (Flashback) Oto**
It's none of your business!
**[08:53] (Flashback) Oto**
What's that guy's problem?
**[09:03] (Flashback) Mom**
Oh... it's you, Otomatsu.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Oto**
Where's the guy?
**[09:07] (Flashback) Mom**
You mean your father, don't you?
**[09:09] (Flashback) Oto**
My father died four years ago.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Oto**
That guy is "the guy."
**[09:14] (Flashback) Mom**
He went gambling.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Mom**
He'll be back after he loses.
**[09:18] (Flashback) Mom**
Here, take this and head out.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Mom**
He's much calmer when you're
not around. Please...
**[09:27] (Flashback) Mom**
Oh, welcome back...
**[09:31] (Flashback) Dad**
What a brat. Can't even say hello.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Dad**
You piece of shit! Take that! And that!
**[09:43] (Flashback) Dad**
This ain't a show! Buzz off!
**[10:21] (Flashback) Oto**
That's the guy...
**[10:24] (Flashback) Dad**
Who the hell are you?
**[10:26] (Flashback) Hei**
Ever heard of Honjo no Onitetsu?
**[10:29] (Flashback) Dad**
You're... You're...
**[10:31] (Flashback) Hei**
Promise you won't hurt Otomatsu again.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Hei**
Promise!
**[10:38] (Flashback) Dad**
I p-promise! I'll never hurt Otomatsu again!
**[10:47] (Flashback) Hei**
The next time he does this, come to me.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Hei**
The house of Honjo no Hasegawa.
**[10:53] (Flashback) Hei**
Got it?
**[10:56] (Flashback) Hei**
See you around.
**[10:58] (Flashback) Oto**
Hey, mister...
**[11:01] (Flashback) Oto**
Thanks.
**[11:13] Hei**
*Why, Otomatsu?*
**[11:20] Hei**
It's been a while, Otomatsu.
**[11:26] Hei**
Why?
**[11:29] Hei**
How did you come to this?
**[11:35] Gohei**
To hear that from you of all people...
**[11:37] Gohei**
It's all your fault.
**[11:44] Gohei**
It's true he calmed down
for a while after that.
**[11:48] Gohei**
For a very short while.
**[11:51] Gohei**
But then he started up again.
**[11:54] Gohei**
And because of the beating you gave him,
**[11:56] Gohei**
he was worse than before.
**[12:04] Gohei**
You didn't complain to
the magistrate's office?
**[12:07] Gohei**
I tried.
**[12:09] Gohei**
But they ignored me.
**[12:11] Gohei**
"It's a domestic issue," they said.
**[12:13] Gohei**
Onihei-san...
**[12:15] Gohei**
I also went to your big mansion,
like you said.
**[12:18] Gohei**
But of course they turned a grubby
little kid like me away at the gate.
**[12:25] Ko**
At the time, the chief was in the capital—
**[12:28] Hei**
Quiet, Koyanagi.
**[12:29] Ko**
But...
**[12:30] Hei**
That was official business.
**[12:32] Hei**
It has nothing to do with Otomatsu.
**[12:35] Go**
And then, that night...
**[12:37] (Flashback) Dad**
You little shit. You went to Onitetsu!
**[12:48] (Flashback) Mom**
Stop it! Please, stop it!
**[12:50] (Flashback) Dad**
Shaddup!
**[12:52] (Flashback) Oto**
Mom!
**[12:54] (Flashback) Dad**
You all do nothing but mock me!
You mock me! You mock me!
**[13:01] (Flashback) Dad**
Please... stop...
**[13:31] (Flashback) Oto**
Mom, I...
**[13:35] (Flashback) Mom**
Murderer.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Mom**
I... I wish you'd never been born!
**[13:49] Go**
I left Edo that very night.
**[13:53] Go**
I was only twelve years old.
**[13:57] Go**
You see now, Onihei-san?
**[13:59] Go**
It's all your fault.
**[14:01] Go**
I'm a monster of your creation.
**[14:04] Go**
Don't you see?!
**[14:06] Saka**
How dare you! He tried to help you!
**[14:09] Hei**
Stop it, Sakai.
**[14:10] Saka**
But...
**[14:11] Go**
There, I told you everything.
**[14:14] Go**
Go ahead and crucify me if you want.
**[14:16] Go**
But that's the last I'm telling you.
**[14:20] Hiko**
I see.
**[14:22] Hei**
Yeah.
**[14:22] Hiko**
But you can't help but pity Gohei.
**[14:26] Hiko**
All that at age twelve.
**[14:28] Hiko**
No wonder he went astray.
**[14:31] Hiko**
That's not to excuse what
he's done, of course.
**[14:35] Hei**
I hear you.
**[14:37] Hei**
But I wonder what'll become of him.
**[14:43] Hisa**
Hey!
**[14:45] Go**
Is that Onihei's wife and daughter?
**[14:48] Saka**
Shut up and walk.
**[14:51] Go**
A woman over forty, able to bear a child...
**[14:54] Go**
He's a blessed man.
**[14:56] Ko**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[14:58] Ko**
Ojun is the daughter of a thief,
whom the chief and his wife adopted—
**[15:02] Saka**
Koyanagi!
**[15:04] Go**
—and raised as their own flesh and blood?
**[15:13] Go**
Koyanagi-sama...
**[15:15] Go**
I was wrong.
**[15:18] Ko**
What do you mean?
**[15:19] Go**
Looking at Ojun earlier, it occurred to me...
**[15:23] Go**
There's probably small children
in the place we're about to rob.
**[15:28] Go**
I don't want to see any more
innocent children harmed.
**[15:31] Koy**
You mean...
**[15:32] Go**
I'll tell you everything at court tomorrow.
**[15:35] Koy**
I see. Thank you—
**[15:36] Go**
But I want to ask one favor first.
**[15:40] Ko**
What is it? Just name it.
**[15:43] Go**
Even if it's from afar...
**[15:46] ---**
Could I have another look at Ojun?
**[15:50] Go**
It will help me work up my nerves.
**[15:59] Ko**
Isn't she a charming girl?
**[16:02] Ko**
Keep that image in your mind.
**[16:08] Go**
Ojun-dono!
**[16:11] Koy**
Stop it, Gohei!
**[16:13] Go**
I've got some news for you!
**[16:15] Koy**
Stop it!
**[16:16] Go**
You're not Hasegawa Heizo's real daughter!
**[16:19] Go**
You're the daughter of a thief!
**[16:23] Go**
I was the same, so I know all about it.
**[16:25] Go**
Your father doesn't give a shit about you!
**[16:33] Go**
Looks like I struck a nerve.
**[16:35] Koy**
Stop it!
**[16:37] Koy**
Ojun-sama!
**[16:38] Koy**
Don't listen to this man!
**[16:50] Koy**
Forgive me.
**[16:52] Sa**
It's my fault.
**[16:55] Saka**
We simply can't apologize enough.
**[16:58] Hisa**
It's my own fault.
**[17:00] Hisa**
If I'd been watching her properly...
**[17:03] Hei**
Enough blame. She'd find out sooner or later.
**[17:06] Hei**
So, where is Ojun now?
**[17:08] Hisa**
I sent Hikoju-san to watch over her.
**[17:11] ---**
I thought it would be
better if it wasn't us.
**[17:13] Hisa**
So...
**[17:18] Hiko**
E-Emergency!
**[17:20] Hiko**
I took my eyes off her a moment,
and Ojun-sama... Ojun-sama...
**[17:25] Hei**
Where is she?
**[17:27] Hiko**
I can't find her anywhere!
**[17:34] Hei**
Ojun!
**[17:39] Saka**
A little girl about this tall...
**[17:47] Sa**
She might still be on the property.
Search everywhere!
**[17:58] Hisa**
Ojun!
**[18:01] Hisa**
Please... come back!
**[18:11] Hei**
*Damn it...*
**[18:12] Hei**
*Where could you be, Ojun?*
**[18:19] Hei**
Could it be...
**[18:26] Hei**
Ojun!
**[18:44] Go**
* Wretched Onihei... I wonder*
* how badly I've rattled him.*
***SIGN*** Reject Evil, Seek Truth
**[18:55] Hei**
Let us begin the inquiry.
**[18:59] Go**
Hang on a minute.
**[19:03] Go**
I guess you haven't heard
what I told Ojun yesterday.
**[19:09] Hei**
Oh, that?
**[19:12] Hei**
Yesterday...
**[19:16] (Flashback) Hei**
Ojun! Wake up!
**[19:18] (Flashback) Hei**
Ojun! Ojun!
**[19:24] (Flashback) Ojun**
I'm sorry...
**[19:27] (Flashback) Hei**
Ojun!
**[19:29] (Flashback) Ojun**
I'm sorry. I tried to
catch a sweetfish, but...
**[19:35] (Flashback) Hei**
A sweetfish... for me?
**[19:38] (Flashback) Ojun**
Because... Because I'm
not your real daughter.
**[19:45] (Flashback) Hei**
What nonsense. Of course
you're my real daughter!
**[19:50] (Flashback) Hei**
It's me who should apologize.
**[19:54] (Flashback) Ojun**
I'm sorry...
**[19:55] (Flashback) Ojun**
I'm sorry, Father.
**[19:58] (Flashback) Hei**
Come on, everyone's waiting.
**[20:01] (Flashback) Hei**
Let's buy some sweetfish on the way home.
**[20:07] Hei**
If only... If only someone
had looked after you.
**[20:21] Koy**
You're under arrest!
**[20:22] Koy**
Mamushi no Shinbei's gang!
**[20:24] Koy**
Turn yourselves in!
**[20:30] Koy**
I am Hasegawa Heizo of the
Arson & Theft Department!
**[20:34] Koy**
Prepare yourselves!
**[20:35] Koy**
Any who resist will be slain!
**[20:40] Hei**
Are you certain crucifixion
is the fate you desire?
**[20:44] Hei**
You could work for me instead, and live.
**[20:47] Go**
No need. I've lived long enough.
**[20:50] Hei**
You're not even thirty.
**[20:53] Go**
It's not a matter of years.
**[20:56] Go**
I'm completely worn out.
**[21:00] Hei**
Do you have a last request?
**[21:04] Hei**
I see. Goodbye, then.
**[21:07] Go**
Before I die...
**[21:09] Go**
Before I die...
**[21:16] Go**
Never mind.
**[21:18] Go**
I could never make Oni no Heizo do that.
**[21:26] Go**
Thank you.
**[21:28] Hei**
Goodbye, Otomatsu.
**[21:41] Chu**
The chief looks pretty down.
**[21:44] Saka**
It's been five days since
Gohei was crucified.
**[21:48] Sahei**
I hope he doesn't blame himself.
**[21:54] Ojun**
Father!
**[21:56] Ojun**
Let's play!
**[21:58] Hei**
Ojun! How could you!
**[22:01] Hei**
Get back here!
**[22:05] Hei**
Get back here, Ojun!
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:42] Hei**
Heizo's silver pipe, a memento
of his late father, is stolen.
**[23:46] Hei**
What will he do when he finds it?

**[00:18] Sama**
How the mighty have fallen.
**[00:21] Hei**
Well, the fever's already gone down.
**[00:25] Hisa**
You really must rest!
**[00:26] Hisa**
Dr. Ryusen told you to take
time in your convalescence.
**[00:33] Sama**
Seeing you laid up sick
is an unexpected delight.
**[00:37] Hisa**
Please call me if you need anything.
**[00:40] Hei**
I will.
**[00:45] Hei**
Is she gone?
**[00:46] Sama**
Yes!
**[00:47] Hei**
Okay! Bring it out!
**[00:53] Hei**
So good!
**[00:55] Sama**
Wine drunk on the sly is the best.
**[00:59] Hei**
And there's more to be
had than just the wine.
**[01:03] Hei**
It's not a party without it.
**[01:06] Sama**
Oh, boy...
**[01:13] Sama**
You sure like your tobacco.
**[01:17] Hei**
It's exceptional when
smoked through this pipe.
**[01:20] Sama**
Is that some kind of special pipe?
**[01:23] Hei**
It's a silver pipe made by the
famous craftsman Goto Heizaemon.
**[01:31] Hei**
My father had it made when he was
serving the magistrate in Kyoto.
**[01:37] Hei**
It's not the fanciest, but on the
underside of the stem... you see?
**[01:42] Sama**
Your family crest?
**[01:45] Hei**
I'm told my father dropped
fifteen ryo on this silver pipe.
**[01:51] Sama**
So it's a memento of your late father.
***SIGN*** The Okawa River Retiree
**[03:03] Sa**
The illness is lasting longer than expected.
**[03:07] Hei**
Don't tell Hisae.
**[03:10] Hei**
I asked Sama for a little indulgence
when he visited the other day.
**[03:13] Sa**
And that caused a relapse?
**[03:16] Hei**
I don't need a lecture.
**[03:17] Hei**
I'm plenty sorry already.
**[03:20] Hei**
I should be better with a
full day's peace and quiet.
**[03:25] Hei**
Sorry, but can you handle
things in the meantime?
**[03:50] Hei**
I've really lost my touch.
**[03:54] Hei**
I never dreamed a cold would
lay me out like this.
**[04:09] Hei**
What a splendid morning!
**[04:11] Hei**
See? I'm much better!
**[04:14] Hisa**
What a turnaround in just one night.
**[04:22] Hei**
Delicious!
**[04:24] Hisa**
You must remain cautious.
**[04:26] Hisa**
Dr. Ryusen advised you
to rest for three months.
**[04:31] Hei**
Don't be stupid.
**[04:32] Hei**
He was obviously joking.
**[04:35] Hei**
You want me to sleep for three months?
**[04:37] Hei**
I'd end up growing mold!
**[04:39] Hei**
Is that what you want?
**[04:40] Hei**
Want to make love to a
husband covered in mold?
**[04:44] Hei**
You might catch the mold, too!
**[04:47] Hisa**
Really, keep your voice down...
**[04:52] Hisa**
By the way, Hisae...
**[04:53] Hisa**
Yes?
**[04:54] Hei**
I have a favor to ask.
**[04:56] Hei**
Could I have a puff?
**[04:58] Hisa**
Tobacco, you mean?
**[05:01] Hei**
What else could I take a puff of?
**[05:05] Hisa**
No.
**[05:06] Hisa**
Dr. Ryusen absolutely forbade it.
**[05:11] Hei**
Is the wife of Hasegawa Heizo
really such an unreasonable woman?
**[05:17] Hisa**
But...
**[05:22] Hisa**
As long as it's only one.
**[05:27] Hisa**
Oh?
**[05:28] Hei**
What is it?
**[05:29] Hisa**
It's gone.
**[05:30] Hei**
What is?
**[05:31] Hisa**
The pipe left you by your father.
**[05:36] Hei**
Search harder.
**[05:39] Hisa**
It is not here.
**[05:40] Hisa**
I saw it when I brought out the
bedding last night, and yet...
**[05:47] Hei**
What? Find it!
**[05:49] Hei**
Keep searching!
**[06:00] Hisa**
What in the world could it mean?
**[06:03] Hei**
Enough.
**[06:05] Hei**
Listen, Hisae...
**[06:07] Hei**
Don't tell anyone about this.
**[06:10] Hisa**
You believe you know who did it?
**[06:12] Hei**
If I'm right, it's very serious.
**[06:16] Hei**
It means a thief infiltrated the house of
the head of the Arson & Theft Department.
**[06:22] Hisa**
Understood.
**[06:29] Hei**
What in the world is going on here?
**[06:44] Sa**
Heading out, sir?
**[06:45] Hei**
I thought I'd take a stroll through town.
**[06:49] Sama**
I'll accompany you.
**[06:51] Hei**
Hanging out with you will
cause another relapse, Sama.
**[06:55] Sama**
Don't be so serious, Tetsu-san.
**[06:58] Sama**
Let's head out and celebrate!
**[07:02] Hei**
That's just what I'm talking about!
**[07:04] Hei**
You'll be the death of me.
**[07:05] Hisa**
What's this about death?
**[07:09] Hei**
Nothing.
**[07:10] Hei**
We'll return soon.
**[07:12] Hisa**
Do take care.
**[07:18] Hei**
I'm exhausted.
**[07:20] Hei**
Let's grab a drink.
**[07:21] Sama**
That's what I've been
waiting to hear, Tetsu-san.
***SIGN*** Boathouse Kaga
**[07:28] Hei**
How about that boathouse, the Kaga-ya?
**[07:31] Sama**
You know it well?
**[07:32] Hei**
No, but it might be more fun.
**[07:37] Hei**
I haven't had a trip down
the Okawa River in a while.
**[07:43] Hei**
Excuse me.
**[07:48] Hei**
Take care of us.
**[07:51] Sama**
Are you sure about this, Tetsu-san?
Our boatman's ancient.
**[07:56] Sama**
He's as wrinkled as a grilled chikuwa.
**[08:04] Hei**
Sama, that boatman could
row us through a tornado.
**[08:12] Hei**
What's your name, sir?
**[08:15] Tomo**
Tomogoro, sir.
**[08:17] Hei**
My name's Kishii Samataro.
**[08:21] Hei**
Remember that.
**[08:22] Hei**
This isn't the last you'll be seeing of me.
**[08:35] Sama**
Could you stop us over there?
**[08:38] Sama**
A relative of my mother's lives there.
**[08:40] Yu**
Yes, sir.
**[08:41] Sama**
Thanks.
**[08:42] Hei**
Take your time.
**[09:21] Tomo**
Sir? Something wrong?
**[09:23] Hei**
Oh... nothing.
**[09:35] Hei**
Thank you for coming.
**[09:37] Hei**
I want to keep this between us.
**[09:39] Kume**
What is it?
**[09:42] Hei**
Near the Shian Bridge is a
boathouse called the Kaga-ya.
**[09:46] Hei**
There's a boatman named Tomogoro there.
**[09:50] Hei**
I want you to find out more about him.
**[09:53] Hei**
Don't give away who you are.
**[09:55] Kume**
Yes, sir.
**[10:01] Oma**
Are you on an investigation?
**[10:03] Kume**
No, it's nothing serious.
***SIGN*** Kaga Boathouse
**[10:15] Kume**
Excuse me!
**[10:17] Kume**
I'd like to rent a boat.
**[10:20] Kume**
I heard you have an amazing boatman.
**[10:25] Kume**
Sir, could I rent—
**[10:29] Tomo**
Is there something on my face?
**[10:34] Kume**
Pops?!
**[10:37] Tomo**
Is that you, Kume-san?!
**[10:40] Kume**
Fancy meeting you here!
**[10:42] Tomo**
That's my line!
**[10:45] Kume**
It's been ten years since we
last ran a robbery together.
**[10:49] Tomo**
I've put all that behind me now.
**[10:52] Kume**
You're working here now?
**[10:55] Tomo**
I'm no longer the thief Hamazaki no Tomozo.
**[10:59] Tomo**
I'm the respectable boatman, Tomogoro!
**[11:03] Kume**
Tomogoro?
**[11:08] Kume**
Have you really gone straight?
**[11:11] Tomo**
Of course I have!
**[11:14] Tomo**
So who're you working for now?
**[11:17] Kume**
Three years back, my boss
Chigashira no Tanbei was arrested
**[11:22] ---**
by the Arson & Theft Department,
so I'm unattached now.
**[11:27] Tomo**
Just working freelance, then?
**[11:30] Kume**
Pretty much.
**[11:32] Kume**
But it's been hard to run
jobs in Edo these days.
**[11:36] Kume**
I'm sure you've heard the rumors, too.
**[11:39] Kume**
There's no escaping the eyes of Oni no Heizo
of the Arson & Theft Department.
**[11:47] Tomo**
Back in the old days, I'd never
have been cowed by Oni no Heizo.
**[11:51] Kume**
Oh, yeah?
**[11:52] Tomo**
I could still beat him, even now.
**[11:59] Kume**
What is it?
**[12:01] Tomo**
Kume-san... given our history,
I can trust you with this.
**[12:08] Kume**
What is it?
**[12:09] Tomo**
I've beaten Oni no Heizo.
**[12:15] Tomo**
Hearing all those rumors about "Onihei"
got my old thief's blood roiling again.
**[12:26] Kume**
D-Don't tell me...
**[12:27] Tomo**
It's true!
**[12:30] Tomo**
I recently snuck into his house.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Fb**
I've really lost my touch.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Fb**
I never dreamed a cold would
lay me out like this.
**[13:05] Tomo**
This is the proof!
**[13:12] Tomo**
Oni no Heizo is all talk.
**[13:16] Tomo**
He was fast asleep and barely
even noticed I was there!
**[13:20] Tomo**
If thieves today are intimidated by him,
**[13:21] ---**
it's just a sign of the
sad state of the business!
**[13:28] Kume**
Sir...
**[13:29] Kume**
You saw the face of Oni no Heizo?
**[13:31] Tomo**
It was too dark to make it out, actually.
**[13:37] Tomo**
Kumehachi-dono, I can do all this at age 68.
**[13:42] Tomo**
You could pull a job in the middle of Edo
that'd really make Oni no Heizo's eyes pop!
**[13:53] Hei**
How very amusing.
**[13:55] Kume**
Then it's true?
**[13:59] Kume**
I can't believe Pops did that.
**[14:02] Hei**
I never imagined a thief would try to enter
**[14:05] ---**
the house of the chief of the
Arson & Theft Department.
**[14:08] Hei**
That's why everyone else was asleep.
**[14:13] Kume**
But...
**[14:14] Hei**
For a man of Hamazaki no Tomozo's...
**[14:17] Hei**
Rather, Tomogoro's level...
it's a rather petty thing.
**[14:23] Hei**
But I must admit...
**[14:27] Hei**
It really is a loss of face for Oni no Heizo!
**[14:30] Kume**
I really can't apologize enough.
**[14:33] Hei**
There's nothing to apologize for.
**[14:36] Kume**
Will... Will you be arresting him?
**[14:41] Hei**
Even if it's just a pipe, a theft is a theft.
**[14:47] Kume**
But...
**[14:48] Hei**
You want me to overlook it?
**[14:54] Hei**
I'll think about it over a peaceful drink.
**[15:01] Tomo**
What's the special news you had?
**[15:06] Tomo**
You're creeping me out.
**[15:08] Kume**
Pops, I went in there myself.
**[15:12] Kume**
When you went in,
there were no guards at all.
**[15:17] Kume**
But after you stole Onihei's silver pipe...
this time it was crazy.
**[15:23] Kume**
But I, Kobusa no Kumehachi, unlike an old
man who's been in retirement for ten years,
**[15:29] Kume**
am still a practicing thief.
**[15:31] Kume**
I rose to the challenge.
**[15:41] Kume**
What? If you don't believe me...
**[15:45] Kume**
Look!
**[15:48] Tomo**
It's true.
**[15:49] Kume**
Are you going to let this go unanswered?
**[15:53] Tomo**
Very well.
**[15:54] Tomo**
I'll enter the Arson & Theft Department
chief's house again while it's swarming with guards.
**[16:00] Kume**
Then how about this?
**[16:03] Kume**
I'll sneak in again,
**[16:06] Kume**
and place this seal case back in its drawer.
**[16:10] Kume**
You return the pipe to its cabinet, and
in exchange, get out with the seal case.
**[16:16] Kume**
And then...
**[16:18] Tomo**
Then what?
**[16:19] Kume**
Okay, I'll give you thirty gold ryo!
**[16:24] Tomo**
Really?
**[16:26] Kume**
I'd never lie.
**[16:27] Tomo**
When will you return the case?
**[16:29] Kume**
Tonight.
**[16:32] Kume**
Isn't this funny, Pops?
**[16:34] Kume**
Us old thieving partners,
leading Oni no Heizo around by the nose!
**[16:39] Tomo**
You said it!
**[16:42] Hei**
Inside this drawer, you said?
**[16:45] Kume**
Hasegawa-sama...
**[16:47] Kume**
Please be gentle with him.
**[16:49] Hei**
Don't worry.
**[16:50] Hei**
I won't mention you, either.
**[16:52] Kume**
Sir.
**[16:59] Sa**
Kumehachi's been coming here frequently.
**[17:02] Sa**
A special investigation of some kind?
**[17:04] Hei**
If there were, you would've heard of it.
**[17:08] Hei**
Kumehachi is participating
in a little game of mine.
**[17:24] Kume**
He's coming tonight.
**[17:38] Hei**
*He's arrived.*
**[17:47] Hei**
*Will he look at me as I sleep?*
**[18:15] Hei**
Last night, a thief entered this mansion
and stole my seal case while I slept.
**[18:23] Hei**
If the world were to learn about this...
**[18:26] Hei**
No, if other thieves were to learn of it,
**[18:29] Hei**
my reputation would plummet,
**[18:31] Hei**
and I'd become a laughingstock!
**[18:34] Hei**
Everyone, including me, must be vigilant
in performing their duties at all times!
**[18:39] Hei**
If this happens again, I, Hasegawa Heizo,
will have to retire from my post!
**[18:46] All**
Sir!
**[18:49] Chu**
Boy, what a shock.
**[18:51] Chu**
I can't believe someone broke in here.
**[18:54] Chu**
What are you laughing at?
**[18:56] Chu**
Is our failure that funny?
**[18:59] Kume**
Certainly not.
**[19:01] Chu**
It's not us.
**[19:03] Chu**
The chief was sawing logs and didn't
even notice someone in his bedroom!
***SIGN*** Kaga Boathouse
**[19:18] Tomo**
It was Kishii-sama, wasn't it?
**[19:21] Hei**
You remember me?
**[19:35] Hei**
Has something happened worth celebrating?
**[19:38] Hei**
Got yourself a young girlfriend?
**[19:40] Tomo**
Certainly not.
**[19:41] Tomo**
I'm pushing seventy, you know.
**[19:45] Hei**
The misty moon of spring...
**[19:48] Tomo**
But I'm afraid it'll rain tomorrow.
**[19:52] Hei**
Why would you say that?
**[19:53] Hei**
The moon is out.
**[19:55] Tomo**
The retiree of the river
knows better than the moon.
**[19:59] Hei**
The retiree of the river?
**[20:02] Tomo**
Look, over there.
**[20:03] Tomo**
He's about to come out!
**[20:08] Tomo**
Hey, Retiree! It's been a while!
**[20:26] Tomo**
Hey, Retiree! You're holding up well.
**[20:33] Tomo**
Sir, Retiree there has lived in the
river for seventy or eighty years.
**[20:39] Hei**
I see...
**[20:40] Tomo**
He and I have been friends
since we were young.
**[20:44] Tomo**
He can tell the voices
of the boatmen he likes,
**[20:47] Tomo**
and he sometimes shows himself for us.
**[20:53] Tomo**
See you later, Retiree!
**[20:56] Hei**
Carp really are monsters
when they get that big.
**[20:59] Tomo**
You said it!
**[21:02] Hei**
That was a true delight to see.
**[21:04] Hei**
As a gesture of thanks,
can I buy you a drink?
**[21:09] Hei**
Here you are.
**[21:11] Tomo**
Me first? Why, thank you so much.
**[21:14] Hei**
I'm about to bring out the good stuff.
**[21:16] Hei**
Let's take it slow.
**[21:18] Tomo**
I've never met a samurai so down-to-earth.
**[21:21] Tomo**
I assumed you were just some wealthy ronin.
**[21:24] ---**
What exactly are you doing here?
**[21:26] Hei**
Well... I wanted to hear
some of your old stories.
**[21:32] Tomo**
Don't be ridiculous. I don't have
any old stories worth telling.
**[21:37] Hei**
Don't you?
**[21:49] Hei**
Pops...
**[21:51] Hei**
Is that ryo enough to buy back my seal case?
**[21:54] Hei**
The pipe and the seal case are
both mementos of my late father.
**[21:58] Hei**
They're irreplaceable to me.

This is no laughing matter.
**[01:41] Hisa**
It's like he's a completely
different person.
**[01:44] Hei**
That's the nature of youth.
**[01:47] Hei**
Sometimes you're focused on play,
**[01:49] Hei**
sometimes you devote yourself to the sword.
**[01:52] Hei**
It's the fickleness of youth.
**[01:56] Hisa**
I wish it weren't like this.
**[01:57] Hei**
It's harmless.
**[02:00] Hei**
He is working hard to learn
a samurai's main skill.
**[02:05] Hei**
Swordplay is the best thing there is.
**[02:07] Jun**
Better than juggling?
**[02:12] Hei**
The sword leads you to others.
**[02:14] Hei**
Strong people, dangerous people,
amusing people...
**[02:18] Hei**
And sometimes you have the
kind of mysterious encounter
**[02:24] Hei**
that appears guided by fate.

I am Matsuoka Jubei.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Mat**
I have come for training.
**[03:14] (Flashback) Tet**
A challenge to the dojo?
**[03:18] (Flashback) Taka**
Matsuoka-dono...
**[03:22] (Flashback) Taka**
I may be old, but I hope you'll try me first.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Tet**
Damn it! I wish he'd let me try.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Tet**
It's been a damned hour!
**[04:07] (Flashback) Tet**
How long are they gonna glare at each other?
**[04:09] (Flashback) Sa**
Look! That sweat...
**[04:23] (Flashback) Taka**
Is that it?
**[04:25] (Flashback) Mat**
Thank you for the fine training.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Tet**
I request a match!
**[04:50] (Flashback) Tet**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[04:54] (Flashback) Sama**
He really got you, Tetsu-san!
**[05:02] (Flashback) Sama**
The man had an air about him, though.
**[05:05] (Flashback) Sama**
Just who was he?
**[05:12] (Flashback) Tet**
Damn it!
**[05:15] (Flashback) Sama**
Want a little distraction tonight, Tetsu-san?
**[05:19] (Flashback) Tet**
Yeah.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Tet**
But I'm a little light on funds.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Den**
Tetsusaburo! How have you been?
**[05:28] (Flashback) Tet**
I'm happy to see that
you remain well, Father.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Den**
How respectful of you.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Den**
Is this what you're after?
**[05:43] (Flashback) Den**
Hurry! Hatsu's coming!
**[05:49] (Flashback) Den**
How are things at the dojo?
**[05:51] (Flashback) Den**
Sir, I'm giving it my all.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Den**
Tetsusaburo...
**[05:58] (Flashback) Den**
I know well that you don't
want to stay at this house,
**[06:02] (Flashback) Den**
and that you have an excess
of pent-up resentment.
**[06:07] (Flashback) Den**
That's why I entrusted
you to Takasugi-sensei.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Den**
He's the one who trained me, after all.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Den**
Follow your master's teachings,
**[06:17] (Flashback) Den**
and you'll never step wrong.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Tet**
I shall.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Hatsu**
What a lot of nonsense.
He's already off the path.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Den**
Hatsu!
**[06:27] (Flashback) Hatsu**
My lord. Spending money for the prodigal son?
**[06:31] (Flashback) Hatsu**
How kind of you.
**[06:33] (Flashback) Den**
I wasn't...

Mother—
**[06:37] (Flashback) Hat**
I am not your mother!
**[06:39] (Flashback) Hat**
You're the son of a peasant
woman from Sugamo Village.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Hat**
I won't be called "mother"
by a bastard like you.
**[06:47] (Flashback) Hat**
Or do you still wish to inherit the estate?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Hat**
Sneaking around like a street cat,
begging your father for money...
**[06:57] (Flashback) Hat**
Ruffian!
**[06:59] (Flashback) Hat**
Come here! Come here!
**[07:00] (Flashback) Den**
It's just Tetsusaburo.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Den**
Stay back! Stay back!
**[07:06] (Flashback) Tet**
Mother...
**[07:08] (Flashback) Tet**
How old are you now?
**[07:10] (Flashback) Tet**
You'd better get to work finding an heir,
**[07:12] (Flashback) Tet**
or you'll run out of time.
**[07:14] (Flashback) Tet**
Farewell.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Sama**
Tetsu-san, did something happen to you?
**[07:21] (Flashback) Tet**
Oh, no. It's nothing.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Hiko**
Hey, Tetsu-san!
**[07:26] (Flashback) Sama**
Hey there, Hikoju.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Hiko**
Heading out on the town?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Tet**
Yeah.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Hiko**
For you-know-what? Or you-know-what-else?
**[07:35] (Flashback) Hiko**
You know, you know...
**[07:38] (Flashback) Tet**
Both.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Tet**
Want to join us?
**[07:41] (Flashback) Hiko**
Most gladly!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Girl**
Oh, Tetsu-san, you've been so cold lately.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Man**
Hey, Tetsu-san! You're loaded today.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Man**
How about putting it on the line?
**[07:59] (Flashback) Tet**
I lost!
**[08:01] (Flashback) Tet**
Hold it right there!
**[08:08] (Flashback) Tet**
Take that!
**[08:27] (Flashback) Tet**
What a wild night.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Tet**
But I feel a lot better now. Damn it...
**[08:37] (Flashback) Tet**
I saw my dad.
**[08:40] (Flashback) Chu**
Well, well...
**[08:45] (Flashback) Tet**
Damn it.
**[08:47] (Flashback) Tet**
Having to beg for money...
**[08:49] (Flashback) ---**
Knowing that woman of his was there...
**[08:57] (Flashback) Tet**
It's pathetic.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Tet**
It's pathetic!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Tet**
Maybe I'll become a thief. Like you.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Tet**
Then I'll never have to
see her ugly face again.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Chu**
Don't be like that. That's all in the past.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Tet**
The sign out front says The Thief's Bar.
**[09:26] (Flashback) Tet**
Pretty ballsy.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Chu**
It's more like a warning.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Chu**
Tetsu-san, let me warn you.
**[09:36] (Flashback) Chu**
Don't lose your head.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Chu**
You're an honest man, deep down.
**[09:41] (Flashback) Chu**
There's nothing worse than an
honest man becoming a thief.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Chu**
With hands stained by wicked deeds,
**[09:47] (Flashback) ---**
you'll try to wipe them clean with worse.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Chu**
Little by little, you'll find yourself—
**[10:00] (Flashback) Oma**
He's asleep?
**[10:03] (Flashback) Oma**
Oh, Tetsu-san... what'll we do with you?
**[10:09] (Flashback) Chu**
Tetsu-san, c'mon.
**[10:11] (Flashback) ---**
You'll catch cold there.
**[10:32] (Flashback) Taka**
As you saw yesterday,
Matsuoka-dono's skill is impressive.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Taka**
He's hesitant to leave right away,
**[10:40] (Flashback) ---**
so he'll be staying with us here for a while.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Mat**
Takasugi-sensei overwhelmed me
with his passion and kindness.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Mat**
I hope you'll accept me.
**[10:52] (Flashback) All**
Welcome!
**[10:56] (Flashback) Tet**
I request a match.
**[11:51] Tet**
*He's... the real thing.*
**[12:06] (Flashback) Mat**
Your strength means nothing
without skill and technique!
**[12:11] (Flashback) Mat**
Next!
**[12:12] (Flashback) Stu**
Sir!
**[12:15] (Flashback) Sama**
Ow, ow...
**[12:17] (Flashback) Sama**
Means nothing, he says.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Tet**
You require more training.
**[12:21] (Flashback) Sama**
Matsuoka-san's kicking our asses.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Tet**
"Sensei." Call him Matsuoka-sensei!
**[12:33] (Flashback) Mat**
They've really livened up.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Taka**
Thanks to you, Matsuoka-dono.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Mat**
I doubt it.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Mat**
They're all splendid young men.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Taka**
How long are you in Edo?
**[12:46] (Flashback) Taka**
If you wish, you could remain—
**[12:49] (Flashback) Mat**
I cannot.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Mat**
That is... I'm a poor samurai from Koshu.
**[12:56] (Flashback) Mat**
I didn't come to Edo for my stipend,
**[12:58] (Flashback) ---**
but to care for a sick relative.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Taka**
I see.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Taka**
I had no idea. Forgive me.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Mat**
Not at all.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Mat**
At my age, I can't help
but worry for the future.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Mat**
I need a successor,
**[13:15] (Flashback) ---**
but none of them have mastered the art yet.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa, perhaps?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Taka**
He's strong, but he can't handle it.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Taka**
He only practices the sword
to vent his resentment.
**[13:26] (Flashback) Mat**
Now that you mention it,
**[13:28] (Flashback) ---**
there's more driving him than just
the usual competitive spirit.
**[13:32] (Flashback) Taka**
From what his father tells me,
**[13:34] (Flashback) ---**
it won't be easy to correct.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Taka**
Despite how he presents himself,
he has a rather tragic background.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Taka**
Family circumstances.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Tet**
What do you guys want?
**[14:05] (Flashback) Sama**
Tetsu-san, it's the gambling
house guys from before.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Tet**
Oh, yeah?
**[14:11] (Flashback) Tet**
Came to get back the money you frauds lost?
**[14:15] (Flashback) Yaku**
Our boss isn't that worried about money.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Yaku**
We've come to collect... on your life!
**[14:25] (Flashback) Tet**
Interesting.
**[14:27] (Flashback) Yaku**
Hey! You!
**[14:30] (Flashback) Yaku**
Matsuoka-sensei!
**[14:31] (Flashback) Mat**
Stay out of this.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Yak**
Who the hell are you?
**[14:34] (Flashback) Yak**
You wanna fight?
**[14:36] (Flashback) Tet**
Sensei!
**[14:37] (Flashback) Mat**
Stay out of this!
**[14:38] (Flashback) Yaku**
Die!
**[14:47] (Flashback) Yaku**
Get him!
**[14:58] (Flashback) Yaku**
D-Damn it...
**[15:07] (Flashback) Tet**
Amazing.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa...
**[15:11] (Flashback) ---**
Come with me.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Mat**
You visit here frequently?
**[15:20] (Flashback) Tet**
No...
**[15:24] (Flashback) Mat**
"Honjo no Tetsu," I hear.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Woman**
Welcome!
**[15:28] (Flashback) Mat**
Hearing about you reminded
me of my own youth.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Mat**
I was quite a fool back then.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Mat**
Alcohol, women, gambling, brawls...
**[15:41] (Flashback) Mat**
I was a reckless man.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Tet**
You, sensei?
**[15:45] (Flashback) Mat**
Resentment towards the world, I think.
**[15:51] (Flashback) Mat**
The truth is...
**[15:53] (Flashback) ---**
I'm the son of a temple's
head priest and a concubine.
**[15:57] (Flashback) Mat**
It was a rather famous temple,
**[16:00] (Flashback) ---**
so I'm sure it was quite a scandal.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Mat**
My mother said he gave her
money and threw her out.
**[16:09] (Flashback) Mat**
She died when I was twelve.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Mat**
But forget that.
**[16:13] (Flashback) Mat**
Such talk makes the wine lose its flavor.
**[16:18] (Flashback) ---**
Here's what I wanted to say:
**[16:21] (Flashback) ---**
It's fine to blow off steam.
**[16:23] (Flashback) ---**
That's the nature of youth.
**[16:26] (Flashback) ---**
But Hasegawa...
**[16:28] (Flashback) ---**
Don't do anything to
disgrace Takasugi-sensei.
**[16:32] (Flashback) ---**
That's the line you must draw.
**[16:37] (Flashback) Tet**
Yes, sir.
***SIGN*** Simplicity and Fortitude
**[16:46] (Flashback) Sama**
Tet-san, you're enthusiastic today, aren't you?
**[16:49] (Flashback) Tet**
I've been reborn!
**[16:52] (Flashback) Tet**
I've decided to drop my
resentment of the world!
**[16:58] (Flashback) Taka**
Hasegawa!
**[17:00] (Flashback) Taka**
A message from the mansion.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Kam**
It's been a while, Tetsusaburo.
**[17:12] (Flashback) Kam**
It's me! Your cousin, Nagakura Kamesaburo!
**[17:16] (Flashback) Tet**
Father, what in the...
**[17:18] (Flashback) Hat**
You're the one who told me to find an heir.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Tet**
You mean...
**[17:23] (Flashback) Hat**
I'm adopting Kamesaburo here.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Den**
Enough, Hatsu.
**[17:28] (Flashback) Den**
That's not why we—
**[17:29] (Flashback) Hat**
Your dilly-dallying gets us nowhere.
**[17:33] (Flashback) Hat**
Blood is important for
continuing a warrior family.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Hat**
True blood, not that of a bastard!
**[17:40] (Flashback) Hat**
Tetsusaburo, what do you think?
**[17:44] (Flashback) Hat**
Go ahead. Tell us just what you're thinking.
**[18:00] (Flashback) Hat**
Wh-What exactly is so funny?
**[18:05] (Flashback) Sama**
Hey, Tetsu-san! What's wrong, Tetsu-san?
**[18:08] (Flashback) Sama**
What happened?
**[18:11] (Flashback) Hiok**
Hey, Tetsu-san!
**[18:13] (Flashback) Hiok**
Hey, Tetsu-san! I've been looking everywhere!
**[18:18] (Flashback) Tet**
A big job?
**[18:20] (Flashback) Hiko**
Keep it down!
**[18:22] (Flashback) Hiko**
I know this freelance thief.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Hiko**
He's going to run a job,
and he needs a little help.
**[18:31] (Flashback) Hiko**
Of course, he's not asking you
to join him for the break-in.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Hiko**
He just needs someone to row
the boat for the getaway.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Hiko**
It'll be three days from now.
**[18:40] (Flashback) Hiko**
The target is Kameso,
a restaurant in Asakusa.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Hiko**
Your share is fifty ryo!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Sama**
Fifty ryo?!
**[18:48] (Flashback) Tet**
Sounds fun.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Tet**
You in, Sama?
**[18:52] (Flashback) Sama**
Well, fifty's a lot.
**[18:55] (Flashback) Hiko**
It's done!
**[19:14] (Flashback) Tet**
Hey! This way!
**[19:17] (Flashback) Tet**
Hurry!
**[19:23] (Flashback) Tet**
What're you doing?!
**[19:26] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa!
**[19:29] (Flashback) Tet**
Matsuoka-sensei!
**[19:31] (Flashback) Mat**
Hasegawa...
**[19:33] (Flashback) ---**
What did I tell you?
**[19:35] (Flashback) Mat**
I said, don't do anything
to disgrace Takasugi-sensei!
**[19:40] (Flashback) Mat**
Don't you...
**[19:43] (Flashback) ---**
Don't you...
**[19:46] (Flashback) Mat**
Don't you become like me!
**[19:55] (Flashback) Thief**
Sensei, we're out of time.
**[19:57] (Flashback) Thief**
Hurry!
**[20:18] Mat**
*Tetsusaburo...*
**[20:20] Mat**
*Samanosuke...*
**[20:23] Mat**
*Take care of Takasugi-sensei.*
**[20:31] Hisa**
What happened to Matsuoka-sensei after that?
**[20:35] Hei**
He never came back to the dojo.
**[20:40] Hei**
I don't know where he is now.
**[20:44] Hei**
It's clear that Matsuoka Jubei
was part of a thief's gang.
**[20:49] Hei**
He mocked Takasugi-sensei, betrayed us,
**[20:53] ---**
and disappeared into the dark.
**[20:55] Hei**
But...
**[20:58] Hei**
But... sometimes, I think...
**[21:02] Hei**
If it hadn't been for Matsuoka-sensei,
**[21:06] Hei**
there'd be no Hasegawa Heizo of
the Arson & Theft Department.
**[21:20] Tat**
Oh, er... I forgot something.
**[21:23] Hei**
Money for the bars?
**[21:24] Tat**
How did you know?
**[21:26] Hei**
Fool! You fell into my trap.
**[21:30] Tat**
You're too smart for me, Father.
**[21:36] Hei**
Be back by dawn.
**[21:39] Tat**
You're sure?
**[21:41] Hei**
Just go!
**[21:42] Tat**
Thank you, Father!
**[21:45] Hei**
Tatsuzo!
**[21:48] Hei**
It's fine to blow off steam.
**[21:50] Hei**
That's the nature of youth.
**[21:53] Hei**
But don't do anything
to disgrace your sensei.
**[21:59] Hei**
That's the line you must draw.
**[22:02] Tat**
Yes, sir!
**[22:03] Hei**
Okay, go on!
**[22:04] Tat**
Goodbye!
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:41] Tat**
Heizo is reminded of a certain thief
with a clever trick behind his heists.

**[00:12] Hei**
Ojun.
**[00:14] Hei**
What's wrong?
**[00:18] Jun**
Father... you're too busy, right?
**[00:23] Hei**
Certainly not.
**[00:28] Hisa**
Stop that, Ojun!
**[00:30] Hei**
It's all right.
**[00:31] Jun**
Tell me another story!
**[00:33] Hei**
Very well.
**[00:35] Hei**
What story would you like?
**[00:37] Hisa**
Your father is tired.
**[00:39] Jun**
A story about catching bad guys!
**[00:41] Hisa**
Really!
**[00:44] Hei**
No, today I'll tell a story about a thief.
**[00:48] Hei**
There's variety in the world of thieves, too.
**[00:50] Hei**
There are even high-class thieves
with skills I can't help but admire.
**[00:57] Hisa**
Husband!
**[00:58] Hei**
It's no big deal.
**[01:00] Hei**
C'mon, Ojun.
**[01:03] Hei**
That goes double for those
that use "thief carpentry."
**[01:06] Jun**
Thief carpentry?
**[01:07] Hei**
Yeah.
**[01:09] Hei**
They usually train under a master carpenter,
**[01:12] ---**
and have no small skill
in the art themselves.
**[01:15] Hei**
So while they're building or
altering some new mansion,
**[01:20] ---**
they build little trapdoors into them.
**[01:24] Hei**
Then while the residents are sleeping,
they use those trap doors
**[01:29] Hei**
and easily enter with their allies.
**[01:31] Hei**
Then they steal the gold
and leave without a trace.
**[01:37] Hei**
Without hurting anyone.
**[01:41] Hei**
It's a truly admirable form of thievery.
**[01:45] Hei**
And I remember one that
was particularly amazing.
**[01:56] Boy**
It's all your fault.
**[01:58] Boy**
I'm sorry!
**[01:58] Boy**
What do we do?
**[01:59] Boy**
If my dad finds out, he'll kill us!
**[02:04] Wasu**
What an awful state.
**[02:07] Wasu**
Is that a tobacco tray? Let me at it.
**[02:17] Boy**
Wow!
**[02:19] Wasu**
There you go.
**[02:20] Boy**
It's back to normal!
**[02:23] Boy**
Even better than before!
**[02:27] Boy**
Thank you, mister!
**[02:29] Boy**
What's your name?
**[02:32] Hei**
His name was...
**[02:35] Hei**
Dojo no Wasuke.
***SIGN*** The Story of Dojo no Wasuke
**[03:41] Man**
Wow!
**[03:42] Man**
You're looking well!
**[03:43] Man**
When'd you get back in town?
**[03:46] Man**
It's been a while, eh?
**[03:48] Man**
It's truly been ages.
**[03:51] Man**
Magokichi-san!
**[03:52] Man**
Magokichi-san!
**[03:54] Mago**
Yes?
**[03:59] Mago**
Wasuke-san!
**[04:04] Mago**
It's been three years, Wasuke-san!
**[04:07] Wa**
That long, eh?
**[04:09] Kihe**
Wasuke-san, you're a good
man and a skilled carpenter.
**[04:12] Kihe**
You should really settle down already.
**[04:15] Kihe**
Why not take yourself a
wife and have a family?
**[04:19] Wasu**
I can't do that, sir.
**[04:23] Wasu**
I'm not cut out to take a wife.
**[04:30] Kihe**
Well, anyway... you'll be in Edo for a while?
**[04:33] Kihe**
I hope you'll look after me again.
**[04:41] Mago**
That's my Wasuke-san. It's like music!
**[04:45] Wasu**
Flattery will get you nowhere, Magokichi-san.
**[04:48] Mago**
I'll stop, then.
**[04:50] Wasu**
Hey, now...
**[05:05] Wasu**
I told you, Sadaroku.
**[05:07] Wasu**
I'm out of the game.
**[05:10] Sada**
Don't be that way.
**[05:12] Sada**
Just help out an old friend.
**[05:15] Wasu**
I've had to play things safe since
my heart issues five years ago.
**[05:21] Wasu**
I'm sorry.
**[05:23] Wasu**
Come on, now.
**[05:25] Sada**
My late boss Hachibei told me...
**[05:28] Sada**
Wasuke-san, nine years ago you installed
a hidden entrance to the Kozu-ya, yes?
**[05:33] Sada**
Do you still have the blueprints?
**[05:37] Wasu**
I burned those when I went straight.
**[05:40] Sada**
But you remember them, I'm sure.
**[05:44] Sada**
A man of Dojo no Wasuke's caliber wouldn't
forget a hidden entrance he installed.
**[05:49] Wasu**
Give it up, please.
**[05:51] Wasu**
Just leave me be.
**[05:57] Sada**
I'll be back, Wasuke-san.
**[06:06] Hiko**
If it isn't Dojo no Wasuke!
**[06:09] Hiko**
So he's back in Edo.
**[06:21] Mago**
I see, I see.
**[06:22] Mago**
That's good to hear.
**[06:24] Mago**
Well, well!
**[06:26] Iso**
Uncle Wasuke!
**[06:28] Wasu**
Isotaro!
**[06:31] Mago**
Wasuke-san...
**[06:32] Mago**
Isotaro here became a sales clerk at the
Kozu-ya at the tender age of nineteen.
**[06:37] Mago**
That famous paper wholesaler, the Kozu-ya!
**[06:40] Iso**
Cut it out, Dad.
**[06:42] Ohiro**
He always gets this way when he drinks.
**[06:46] Wasu**
Well, that's very impressive!
**[06:49] Mago**
The last owner really liked him.
**[06:51] Mago**
He wanted to marry Isotaro
to his daughter Oshizu,
**[06:54] Mago**
and give him his own branch
of the store some day!
**[06:58] Wasu**
My! Incredible!
**[07:01] Ohiro**
Unfortunately...
**[07:02] Iso**
The last owner died last year,
and that's all off the table now.
**[07:06] Wasu**
I see...
**[07:08] Wasu**
Still, it's very impressive!
**[07:13] Wasu**
Why, thank you.
**[07:14] Wasu**
Well, Isotaro? Are you happy?
**[07:18] Iso**
I am, Uncle Wasuke.
**[07:22] Wasu**
I'm so glad to hear that.
**[07:30] Mago**
Being a sales clerk at a big
shop like that must be hard.
**[07:36] Mago**
Wasuke-san... forgive me.
**[07:38] Ohiro**
Dear...
**[07:39] Mago**
Ohiro, you should apologize, too!
**[07:42] Wasu**
Hey now... what's all this, Magokichi-san?
**[07:46] Mago**
Because of what we said
twenty-two years ago.
**[07:49] Wasu**
I've been such a fool.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Wasu**
I was in Edo making money while
my wife lay here, dying.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Mago**
Don't let it get you down, Wasuke-san!
**[08:07] (Flashback) Ohiro**
That's right.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Ohiro**
Oseki-san's only concerns were
you and little Iso to the end!
**[08:14] (Flashback) Wasu**
I'm so sorry, Magokichi-san. Ohiro-san.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Wasu**
You were forced to look after my wife,
and Isotaro on top of that...
**[08:22] (Flashback) Ohiro**
It's nothing, really.
**[08:24] (Flashback) Wasu**
But...
**[08:25] (Flashback) Mago**
We can't have children of our own.
**[08:27] (Flashback) Mago**
Iso is so cute, we often
wished he really was ours.
**[08:32] (Flashback) Mago**
We even talked about it.
**[08:34] (Flashback) Ohiro**
That's right. So we don't mind...
**[08:38] (Flashback) Wazu**
Maybe that would be for the best.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Wazu**
He'd be better off without me for a father.
**[08:52] (Flashback) Mago**
Are you serious?
**[08:54] (Flashback) Wasu**
Yes.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Wasu**
It's my destiny to be alone and childless.
**[09:00] Mago**
It couldn't have really been destiny.
**[09:02] Wazu**
Magokichi-san...
**[09:05] Mago**
You've given us so much happiness.
**[09:09] Mago**
But Iso is an adult now.
**[09:12] Mago**
He deserves to know who his real father is!
**[09:15] Ohiro**
That's right. He really does!
**[09:19] Wasu**
Don't be so foolish.
**[09:22] Wasu**
Magokichi-san, Ohiro-san,
everyone knows you're his real parents.
**[09:29] Mago**
Wasuke-san...
**[09:30] Wasu**
"Uncle Wasuke" is enough for me.
**[09:34] Ohiro**
Wasuke-san...
**[09:39] Mago**
You're far too kind.
**[10:11] Wasu**
Can I help you, Hikoju-san?
**[10:18] Hiko**
Go on, help yourself.
**[10:21] Wasu**
Are you with the group trying
to steal from the Kozu-ya?
**[10:24] Hiko**
Kozu-ya? The paper wholesaler?
**[10:27] Wasu**
Oh, never mind.
**[10:31] Wasu**
But you can't threaten me.
**[10:34] Wasu**
I'm out of the game.
**[10:37] Hiko**
Are you sure about that?
**[10:39] Wasu**
Yes.
**[10:44] Hiko**
Well, well! That's great to hear!
**[10:50] Wasu**
*Hikoju-san was acting so strangely.*
**[10:55] Wasu**
* That reminds me... The Kozu-ya*
* is close by, isn't it?*
**[10:59] Wasu**
*Maybe I'll stop in on Iso at work.*
**[11:07] Wasu**
Here it is.

Honestly! How useless can a man be?
**[11:13] Gen**
You should get on your
knees and beg forgiveness!
**[11:17] Iso**
I'm... very sorry, sir.
**[11:21] Gen**
How many times do I have to say it?
**[11:23] Gen**
You're causing us no end
of trouble. It's absurd.
**[11:28] Gen**
Listen up...
**[11:30] Gen**
You can't sorry your way out
of this for much longer.
**[12:00] Iso**
No snow this year, I suppose.
**[12:04] Iso**
I love snow.
**[12:06] Iso**
When it snows, business slows down,
**[12:09] Iso**
and the store closes from time to time.
**[12:13] Wasu**
Isotaro, is the store owner bullying you?
**[12:19] Wasu**
I guess the old owner favored you,
**[12:22] ---**
so the new owner has it out for you.
**[12:26] Iso**
Uncle...
**[12:32] Iso**
I don't... think I can...
**[12:36] Wasu**
But Isotaro, your parents were so happy
about you working at the Kozu-ya.
**[12:45] Wasu**
C'mon, now.
**[12:46] Wasu**
Keep working hard, and the new owner
will have to acknowledge you eventually.
**[12:52] Wasu**
Just stick it out until then!
**[12:54] Wasu**
Okay?
**[12:58] Iso**
That's true.
**[13:00] Iso**
You're probably right.
**[13:02] Iso**
I'll keep doing my best.
**[13:08] Wasu**
Good!
**[13:17] Iso**
I'm back.

Isotaro... you've really done it this time!
**[13:31] Iso**
That's... my trunk.
**[13:36] Gen**
You took in 57 ryo today you
were supposed to hand over.
**[13:39] Gen**
You'd been gone a long time,
so I looked into it.
**[13:42] Gen**
So this is what you're up to!
**[13:44] Iso**
No!
**[13:45] Iso**
I handed it over, like I should!
**[13:48] Gen**
Are you accusing me of lying?
**[13:50] Iso**
Maybe... it's some kind of mistake?
**[13:54] Gen**
We'll see who the authorities believe.
**[13:57] Gen**
The owner of the Kozu-ya, or a
perpetually bumbling sales clerk?
**[14:02] Gen**
What do the rest of you think?
**[14:04] Iso**
No...
**[14:08] Gen**
If this gets out, it will make trouble
for those dear old parents of yours.
**[14:22] Gen**
What will you do about these accusations?
**[14:25] Gen**
We can't keep a thief in our store.
**[14:31] Ohiro**
Dinner is ready.
**[14:33] Mago**
Great to hear!
**[14:35] Wasu**
I really don't deserve this.
**[14:37] Wasu**
You've treated me so well.
**[14:40] Ohiro**
It's nothing.
**[14:41] Ohiro**
You're like family, after all.
**[14:44] Mago**
She's right, Wasuke-san.
**[14:46] Mago**
Isotaro is our reason for living.
**[14:50] Mago**
We couldn't possibly thank you enough.
**[14:54] Ohiro**
He's right, Wasuke-san.
**[14:57] Wasu**

**[15:00] Ohiro**
Now, eat before it gets cold.
**[15:02] Ohiro**
Tea?
**[15:07] Man**
Is there a Magokichi here?
**[15:09] Mago**
Y-Yes... I'm Magokichi.
**[15:13] Man**
Is your son, Isotaro, a clerk at the Kozu-ya?
**[15:18] Mago**
Isotaro? What's happened?
**[15:26] Mago**
Iso...
**[15:29] Ohiro**
Why?
**[15:32] Ohiro**
Why?!
**[15:39] Gen**
Honestly, I'm the one who should be crying.
**[15:42] Gen**
He steals my money,
then kills himself in my store?
**[15:47] Gen**
What if word gets out and hurts my business?
**[15:57] Hiko**
Wasuke-san...
**[15:58] Hiko**
I know it's hard, but don't
do anything desperate.
**[16:02] Wasu**
I won't, Hikoju-san.
**[16:13] Heizo**
I see.
**[16:15] Heizo**
You think Wasuke might try something?
**[16:18] Hiko**
I don't know.
**[16:19] Hiko**
I hope he won't, but...
**[16:24] Hei**
Hikoju...
**[16:26] Hei**
Would you mind watching
Wasuke for a bit longer?
**[16:41] Wasu**
I'm so sorry, Iso.

**[17:37] Gen**
It's not like I told him to kill himself!

You're so cruel, sir.

That's right, I'm a nasty guy!

Oh, you!

Tonight, if you wish.
**[18:07] Hiko**
*Curious. His shadow's so still.*
**[18:16] Hiko**
He tricked me!
**[18:25] Wasu**
Not there.
**[18:39] Hei**
I see.
**[18:41] Hei**
Thank you for telling me, Hikoju.
**[18:43] Hiko**
Yes, sir!
**[18:47] Hei**
I suppose I really should go now.
**[18:50] Hei**
But...
**[18:52] Hei**
The moon's just so beautiful tonight.
**[18:56] Hei**
It's hard to hurry anywhere when
the sight is so entrancing.
**[19:04] Hiko**
Hasegawa-sama!
**[19:39] Sada**
Bonds?
**[19:41] Sada**
Those aren't worth anything to us.
**[19:44] Sada**
Though it might cause serious problems
for the Kozu-ya if they lose them.
**[19:50] Sada**
Hurry up! C'mon, damn it!
**[20:07] Hiko**
Wasuke-san...
**[20:09] Thief**
Damn it!
**[20:10] Thief**
Not good.

No...
**[20:16] Wasu**
This is for the best.

What are you doing? Go after that boat! Go!
**[20:23] Wasu**
Everyone... let's dump these into the river.
**[20:26] Sada**
What?
**[20:27] Wasu**
We need to lighten the load,
or they'll catch us!
**[20:31] Sada**
Damn it!
**[20:36] Sada**
We gotta lighten the load!
**[20:46] Sada**
It's not enough!
**[20:47] Sada**
Gotta make it lighter!
**[20:51] Gen**
What are they doing?!
**[20:58] Wasu**
Now for the finish.
**[21:22] Hei**
Magnificent.
**[21:26] Gen**
What the... M-My bonds!
**[21:35] Wasu**
*You see that, Isotaro?*
**[21:39] Wasu**
*It's the snow you loved so much.*
**[21:47] Hei**
Earlier this year, four years later,
the Kozu-ya shut down.
**[21:54] Hei**
The gold and bonds Wasuke dropped
in the river were a fatal loss.

**[03:23] Hisa**
You are Kondo Kanshiro-sama, then?
**[03:25] Kan**
Yes.
**[03:27] Hisa**
I received your note.
**[03:29] Hisa**
What business do you have with
**[03:31] ---**
the wife of Hasegawa Heizo,
head of the Arson & Theft Department?
**[03:36] Kan**
How very intimidating.
**[03:38] Hisa**
What is your business?
**[03:40] Kan**
You didn't come with an escort?

**[03:44] Kan**
You came to see me all alone?
**[03:48] Hisa**
Yes.
**[03:49] Kan**
I thought so.
**[03:54] Kan**
Hisae-dono?
**[03:57] Hisa**
I hardly came here out of a desire to see you.
**[03:59] Kan**
What?
**[04:00] Hisa**
Back when my father had
his mansion in Honjo...
**[04:08] Hisa**
Hasegawa-sama's mansion was to our right.
**[04:11] Hisa**
To the left was your mansion.
**[04:46] Hisa**
But after that, you began
frequenting the brothels.
**[05:07] Hisa**
You abandoned your family name, worth a
250-koku stipend, and your elderly parents.
**[05:17] Hisa**
You stole money with a
Yoshiwara prostitute.
**[05:21] Kan**
Outta the way!
**[05:22] Hisa**
And when you were discovered,
you killed three men to escape.
**[05:28] Hisa**
And after that, I...
**[05:33] Shin**
Say... Hisae.
**[05:37] Shin**
Do you wish to get married?
**[05:40] Shin**
It happened yesterday.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Hei**
What's the matter, sir?
**[05:49] (Flashback) Shin**
Heizo-dono?
**[05:51] (Flashback) Hei**
You'll catch cold out here.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Shin**
Well...
**[05:57] (Flashback) Shin**
The truth is...
**[05:58] (Flashback) Shin**
An awful man took advantage of my daughter.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Shin**
She can't get married now.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Hei**
Surely that's not true.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Shin**
No, it's impossible.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Shin**
She's a warm and gentle girl,
and I love her dearly.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Shin**
That's why it's such a terrible shame.
**[06:21] (Flashback) Shin**
Honestly... a truly awful
man took advantage of her.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Hei**
Sighing about it won't get you anywhere.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Shin**
But what else can I do?
**[06:30] (Flashback) Hei**
I'll gladly take her off your hands.
**[06:33] (Flashback) Shin**
What did you say?
**[06:35] (Flashback) Hei**
I'll take her off your hands.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Hei**
Is a playboy like me unsuitable?
**[06:41] (Flashback) Shin**
D-Do you mean it, truly?
**[06:42] (Flashback) Hei**
Yes, I do.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Shin**
You truly, truly mean it?
**[06:46] (Flashback) Hei**
I truly, truly mean it.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Shin**
But she's damaged goods.
**[06:50] (Flashback) Hei**
I'm damaged as hell, too.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Hei**
We'll be a great pair.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Shin**
I can't express my gratitude.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Hisa**
He'd really accept me?
**[07:16] (Flashback) Shin**
Heizo-dono is a generous man.
**[07:28] Hisa**
Twenty years have passed since then.
**[07:30] Hisa**
I sometimes heard rumors of you.
**[07:34] Hisa**
But for what purpose did
you send me such a letter?
**[07:38] Kan**
Are you afraid?
**[07:40] Hisa**
Certainly not.
**[07:41] Hisa**
I'll show it to Heizo the
moment he returns to Edo.
**[07:45] Kan**
I heard he was traveling.
**[07:47] Hei**
He'll return soon.
**[07:48] Kan**
When?
**[07:50] Hisa**
I'll hear out your business in Heizo's stead.
**[07:53] Kan**
Don't be so harsh.
**[07:55] Hisa**
Speak at once.
**[07:57] Kan**
Come here first.
**[07:59] Hisa**
Absolutely not.
**[08:01] Kan**
No nostalgia for a man from your past?
**[08:04] Hisa**
Don't be absurd.
**[08:05] Kan**
What's that?
**[08:06] Hisa**
If you have no business with me, I will go.
**[08:09] Kan**
I'd heard a girl never forgets her first...
**[08:13] Kan**
But maybe you've gone dry inside and out.
**[08:16] Hisa**
How utterly absurd.
**[08:18] Kan**
Why do you keep saying that?!
**[08:26] Hisa**
I must be going.
**[08:31] Kan**
Don't be too shocked when you
get back to your mansion.

**[09:25] Sa**
The truth is, while you were out,
someone else came by.
**[09:32] (Flashback) Sa**
Oh, the lady's out for the day?
**[09:36] (Flashback) Sa**
How unusual.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Saka**
I guess while the chief's out
is her chance to blow off steam.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Saji**
She's always so considerate
to everyone, us included.
**[09:47] (Flashback) Lady**
Emergency! Emergency!
**[09:49] (Flashback) Lady**
It's a truly awful thing!
**[09:51] (Flashback) Saka**
Who are you?
**[09:53] (Flashback) Saka**
I work at a shop called the
Myoga-ya, near the Kishimojin.
**[09:56] (Flashback) Saji**
What's got you in such a flurry?
**[09:58] (Flashback) Lady**
Your lady here was on the
grounds of the Kishimojin
**[10:02] (Flashback) Lady**
when a group of ronin accosted her
and attacked her with their swords!
**[10:07] (Flashback) Saji**
Wh-What?!
**[10:08] (Flashback) Lady**
She was badly injured!
She's receiving aid at the teahouse!
**[10:11] (Flashback) Saji**
Can it be?
**[10:12] (Flashback) Women**
Our lady?
**[10:14] (Flashback) Saji**
Go to Yotsuya and let the others know.
**[10:17] (Flashback) Saji**
Sakai, let's head to the teahouse.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Sakai**
Isn't our lady being treated here?

***SIGN*** Myoga-ya

**[10:49] Saji**
The man at the teahouse said
he'd never seen her before.
**[10:54] Hisa**
Where is she now?
**[10:56] Saji**
The next thing I knew, she was gone.
**[10:58] Saji**
We're searching for her now, but...
**[11:01] Saji**
I just don't understand.
**[11:03] Saji**
Why would she tell a tale like that?
**[11:07] Hisa**
Sajima-dono...
**[11:09] Saji**
A letter for you, my lady?
**[11:12] Hisa**
It was from Kondo Kanshiro.
**[11:15] Hisa**
He lived next to my mansion
in Honjo long ago.
**[11:18] Hisa**
My husband knows him as well.
**[11:21] Hisa**
Over twenty years ago, he was
involved in an incident,
**[11:23] ---**
abandoned his family name, worth a
250-koku stipend, and disappeared.
**[11:29] Hisa**
We haven't seen him since.
**[11:33] Saji**
So that curious old lady came while
you were out meeting with him?
**[11:37] Saji**
Then Kondo and the old lady are accomplices?
**[11:40] Hisa**
I don't know what they're after.
**[11:42] Hisa**
But she was suspicious,
so I had Tsuruzo follow her.
**[11:47] Saji**
I see... well done.
**[11:50] Hisa**
I'm so embarrassed.
**[11:53] Saji**
Why?
**[11:55] Tat**
Mother, I'm back.
**[11:58] Tat**
Where's Ojun?
**[11:59] Tat**
I brought back a souvenir like I promised.
**[12:03] Hisa**
Oh, yes... Where is Ojun?
**[12:06] Hisa**
Ojun?
**[12:07] Tat**
Please, I'm sure she's just
playing hide-and-seek.
**[12:10] Tat**
She'll come out the minute
she sees this molasses candy.
**[12:13] Hisa**
Ojun, are you in there?
**[12:15] Hisa**
Ojun!
**[12:16] Hisa**
Come out!
**[12:18] Hisa**
Ojun!
**[12:21] Tat**
Here! I brought molasses candy!
**[12:24] Tat**
Molasses candy!
**[12:27] Hisa**
It can't be...
**[12:29] Tat**
Mother?
**[12:33] Hisa**
Ojun!
**[12:35] Hisa**
Ojun!
**[12:36] Sawa**
My lady!
**[12:39] Sawa**
We were playing together by
the kitchen just before...
**[12:44] Sawa**
But now I can't find her anywhere!
**[12:49] Sawa**
My lady!
**[12:49] Sawa**
Mother!
**[12:50] Fb**
* Don't be too shocked when you*
* get back to your mansion.*
**[12:54] Hisa**
*That man took Ojun.*
**[12:56] Hisa**
*It's all my fault!*
**[12:58] Saji**
We searched every corner
of the mountain, but...
**[13:01] Saji**
What is the shop where you went before?
**[13:04] Hisa**
The Yoshino-ya near Gokokuji Temple.
**[13:07] Saji**
Sakai, send Hikoju to find Tsuruzo.
**[13:10] Saji**
Have Kumehachi investigate Kondo.
**[13:13] Saji**
Call Omasa here, too.
**[13:14] Saka**
Sir!
**[13:16] Saji**
My lady...
**[13:17] Tat**
Was Ojun kidnapped?
**[13:20] Saji**
With the chief out of the city,
we'll have to save Ojun ourselves.
**[13:33] Hei**
Back in Edo tomorrow, eh?
**[13:38] Chu**
Chief?
**[13:41] Hei**
Which should I take?
**[13:45] Sama**
It's Ojun he's missing.
**[13:47] Hei**
Now, now.
**[13:48] Hei**
Don't laugh. Help me.
**[13:50] Hei**
All right, I'll take this one.
**[13:52] Sama**
It's like she's your real daughter by now.
**[13:56] Hei**
Ojun *is* Hisae's and my daughter.
**[13:59] Sama**
Very true.
**[14:01] Chu**
I'm sure Ojun-sama will love it.
**[14:03] Hei**
You think?
**[14:06] Hei**
Maybe so...
**[14:15] Koy**
My lady! Tsuruzo and Hikoju have returned!
**[14:22] Tsuru**
With Hikoju-san's help, I managed
to find that ronin's location.
**[14:27] Hiko**
He's holed up in an inn in Nezu.
**[14:30] Saji**
Well done.
**[14:31] Hisa**
Thank you!
**[14:33] Hiko**
But...
**[14:34] Saji**
But?
**[14:37] (Flashback) Kan**
I have friends coming to fetch me soon.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Kan**
Let me know when they're here.
**[14:44] Tat**
So he'll leave the inn if we don't hurry?
**[14:47] Hiko**
He'll probably be going to
wherever they're hiding Ojun.
**[14:50] Hiko**
If we let him escape our sights,
**[14:52] ---**
we'll never be able to face the Chief again.
**[14:54] Hiko**
Let's hurry!
**[14:55] Tat**
If I hadn't gone out,
**[14:58] ---**
this never would have happened to her.
**[15:03] Hisa**
* If they arrest Kondo Kanshiro,*
* it will all come to light.*
**[15:09] Hisa**
*But...*
**[15:11] Hisa**
*First and foremost, we must save Ojun.*
**[15:15] Hisa**
*I'm sure he'll forgive me for Ojun's sake.*
**[15:23] Hisa**
Tatsuzo!
**[15:25] Hisa**
We must save her as soon as possible.
**[15:27] Tat**
Right!
**[15:28] Hisa**
Everyone...
**[15:30] Hisa**
Please, save Ojun!
**[15:36] Saji**
I swear we'll save Ojun-dono,
**[15:39] Saji**
and make those villains pay!
**[15:41] Saji**
Right, everyone?
**[15:42] All**
Yes!
**[15:46] Hisa**
Thank you...
**[15:59] Hiko**
That's them.
**[16:01] Tat**
Damn them!
**[16:03] Saka**
No!
**[16:16] Oma**
Those Ronin have been back
and forth to Sugamo lately.
**[16:21] Saji**
Omasa, well done.
**[16:22] Oma**
I thought they might have
brought Ojun-dono there.
**[16:26] Saji**
Let's hurry!
**[16:26] All**
Sir!
**[16:28] Tat**
I... I'm so sorry.
**[16:38] Kume**
Kondo and the others are in that farmhouse.
**[16:40] Saji**
Kumehachi, your nose is as sharp as ever!
**[16:43] Kume**
Always glad to help the chief.
**[16:45] Kume**
I'll give my life to save Ojun!
**[16:57] Saji**
Right, I'm counting on all of you.
**[16:59] Saji**
Omasa, get Ojun.
**[17:01] Oma**
I shall.
**[17:02] Saji**
Koyanagi, don't let one of them escape.
**[17:05] Koy**
Sir!
**[17:17] Lady**
What are—
**[17:32] Kume**
Omasa found Ojun-sama?
**[17:34] Saji**
Okay. Light it up.
**[17:36] Saji**
This rough-and-tumble action is the
Arson & Theft Department's specialty.
**[17:40] Saji**
Filthy kidnappers...
**[17:45] Kume**
I won't let one of them escape.
**[17:48] Kan**
What's that?
**[17:55] Ronin**
Who's there?!
**[18:02] Ronin**
Damn you all...
**[18:04] Hiko**
Don't underestimate the spies
of the Arson & Theft Department!
**[18:17] Sakai**
Prepare to die!
**[18:21] Tat**
How dare you take Ojun!
**[18:31] Saka**
Much obliged!
**[18:44] Saka**
This one's for the chief!
**[19:09] Ojun**
Mother! Mother!
**[19:14] Hisa**
Ojun! Ojun!
**[19:17] Hisa**
I'm so glad you're safe.
**[19:40] Hei**
Kanshiro, long time no see.
**[19:47] Hei**
What exactly were you plotting?
**[19:51] Hei**
Blackmail Hisae into giving you money?
**[19:56] Kan**
You look awfully relaxed.
**[19:59] Kan**
Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
**[20:04] Hei**
What are you talking about?
**[20:06] Kan**
Maybe I'll tell you who your wife really is.
**[20:09] Hei**
Who Hisae really is?
**[20:12] Kan**
I was your wife's first time.
**[20:16] Kan**
She's been mine from the start!
**[20:18] Kan**
I'm the one who made her a woman.
**[20:20] Kan**
Can't stand that, can you?
**[20:31] Kan**
What's so funny?
**[20:32] Hei**
Is that nonsense what this was all about?
**[20:35] Kan**
What? Nonsense?!
**[20:38] Hei**
Hisae's a fine woman, and always has been.
**[20:43] Hei**
And she'll be mine, now and forever.
**[20:50] Ojun**
One, two, three, four!
**[20:54] Ojun**
Five, six, seven, eight!
**[20:57] Ojun**
Nine, ten!
**[20:59] Hei**
You're here?
**[21:05] Hei**
I'm told you were out at play
during our crisis the other day.
**[21:10] Hei**
I won't forget this.
**[21:13] Tat**
Yes, sir.
**[21:14] Hei**
The next time you neglect
your duties in my stead,
**[21:16] Hei**
it'll be your head that rolls.
**[21:19] Hei**
Even from my own child, it's unforgivable!
**[21:27] Hei**
Still, I'm impressed by your
handling of the situation.
**[21:31] Hei**
I don't care what happened in the past.
**[21:34] Hei**
Ah, delicious.
**[21:37] Hei**
I was dreaming about your home
cooking while I was gone.
**[21:42] Hei**
That's right.
**[21:44] Hei**
That's the smile I love to see.
**[21:48] Hisa**
This recent incident made it clear to me.
**[21:53] Hei**
Made what clear?
**[21:54] Hisa**
A woman is made by her man.
**[21:59] Hisa**
I'm so very lucky.
**[22:03] Hei**
That's my line.

**[00:11] Woman**
Omi-chan! Hang in there!
**[00:21] Mid**
Is Koyanagi-sama not here yet?
**[00:23] Mid**
At a time like this...
**[00:25] Mid**
Does he value catching criminals
more than his own wife?
**[00:29] Mid**
Okay! Almost there!
**[00:33] Mid**
It's born!

He looks so haunted.
**[03:10] Mon**
Yes.
**[03:11] Mon**
And Koyanagi-dono was once so easygoing.
**[03:21] Mon**
He's like a different man.
**[03:27] Koy**
Next!
**[03:34] Tat**
The guy's totally nuts.
**[03:37] Tat**
Ow...
**[03:38] Tat**
He could've held back just a little.
**[03:41] Tat**
I'm Hasegawa Heizo's heir, after all.
**[03:44] Hei**
Are you, really?
**[03:47] Tat**
Father!
**[03:49] Hisa**
At last, he looks like he's
been properly fencing.
**[03:54] Hei**
He does indeed.
**[03:56] Hei**
Who did that to you?
**[03:58] Tat**
Koyanagi-sama!
**[04:00] Tat**
It's like he had a grudge
against me or something.
**[04:04] Hei**
He knows you're a layabout.
**[04:08] Hei**
But really, it's about time.
**[04:11] Hisa**
Yes, you've been attending there for so long.
**[04:15] Tat**
Tsuboi-sensei is the one
you recommended, Father.
**[04:19] Tat**
Maybe it's your fault I'm
not getting any better.
**[04:24] Hei**
Just being in contact with a
man of Tsuboi-sensei's caliber
**[04:29] Hei**
will be to your benefit.
**[04:38] Hei**
You know, Hisae...
**[04:40] Hei**
I feel like Koyanagi is trying
to get himself killed.
**[04:45] Hisa**
Surely not.
**[04:47] Hei**
I think he wants to provoke me,
**[04:51] Hei**
and force me to kill him, so that
he can join his wife and child.
**[04:56] Hisa**
He mustn't do such a thing.
**[05:02] Hisa**
Incense.
**[05:04] Hisa**
Give it to Koyanagi-sama tomorrow.
**[05:07] Hei**
That's right.
**[05:09] Hei**
Tomorrow is the anniversary of their deaths.
**[05:21] Koy**
Forgive me, Omitsu.
**[05:23] Koy**
I'll be joining you both very soon.
**[06:10] Ota**

Fancy seeing you here.

Sir, do you have an open room?

Yes, feel free to use it.
***SIGN*** Gotetsu

Right this way.
**[06:44] Koy**
Sir, can you prepare something
warm for the mother and child?
**[06:49] Hei**
Yes, of course.
**[06:54] Koy**
I was at Ryogoku Bridge.
**[06:56] Koy**
She was about to throw herself
into the Ogawa River.
**[07:00] Koy**
Could you look after them tonight?
**[07:03] Koy**
I don't want to leave them alone.
**[07:06] Oma**
Certainly.
**[07:08] Koy**
I'm glad you're here.
**[07:10] Koy**
I've asked, but she won't tell me anything.
**[07:14] Oma**
She may be more willing
to speak to another woman.
**[07:19] Oma**
I'll give you my report tomorrow.
**[07:22] Koy**
Please do.
**[07:23] Hiko**
Here we are, dear.
**[07:31] Hiko**
Don't hold back, now.
**[07:44] Ota**
It warms me up.
**[07:46] Hiko**
Glad to hear it.
**[07:50] Hiko**
Is that a girl?
**[07:52] Ota**
Yes.
**[07:54] Hiko**
What a little charmer.
**[07:57] Koy**
To think I'd save someone
on a day like today...
**[08:00] Oma**
The anniversary of your
wife and child's death?
**[08:04] Koy**
Yes.
**[08:05] Koy**
I caught sight of them on the
way back from their grave.
**[08:09] Koy**
Maybe it's fate, of a sort.
**[08:17] Koy**
May I?
**[08:18] Chu**
Koyanagi-san? What brings you here?
**[08:22] Koy**
I'd like to share a drink.
**[08:24] Chu**
Sounds great!
**[08:26] Chu**
Let's get this party rolling!
**[08:31] Chu**
Something good happen to you?
**[08:36] Chu**
Did you find a woman?!
**[08:37] Koy**
And a child.
**[08:39] Chu**
A child?
**[08:41] Chu**
What in the world?
**[08:43] Chu**
Wait... did you knock her up?
**[08:46] Chu**
Or, wait... did you get in good with a widow?

C'mon, tell me!

W-Welcome.
**[09:19] Oma**
Don't be too shocked, Master Koyanagi.
**[09:24] Oma**
They're the wife and child of
Shikadome no Matahachi, whom you arrested.
**[09:32] Koy**
What did you say?
***SIGN*** Shorinji Temple
**[09:47] Koy**
Intruders!
**[09:51] (Flashback) Mata**
Look out!
**[09:57] (Flashback) Koy**
Arson & Theft Department!
**[09:58] (Flashback) Koy**
Give yourself up!
**[10:06] Koy**
She's the wife of that thief?
**[10:09] Oma**
Her name is Otaka.
**[10:11] Oma**
She married Matahachi about four years ago.
**[10:15] Oma**
Otaka believed he was
an honest rosary seller.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Mata**
I'm heading out.
**[10:29] (Flashback) Mata**
It'll be a late night,
so head to sleep without me.
**[11:08] (Flashback) Ota**
Dear?
**[11:10] (Flashback) Sei**
Are you Otaka-san?
**[11:12] (Flashback) Ota**
Yes...
**[11:15] (Flashback) Sei**
I have a message for you, from Matahachi.
**[11:21] (Flashback) Ota**
Matahachi-san... arrested?
**[11:25] (Flashback) Sei**
I know this might be hard to accept,
**[11:28] (Flashback) Sei**
but he's been a thief for quite some time.
**[11:32] (Flashback) Ota**
Liar!
**[11:38] (Flashback) Sei**
I understand.
***SIGN*** Otaka
**[11:42] (Flashback) Sei**
When you feel ready, please read this.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Sei**
I'm an old friend of Matahachi's.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Sei**
He left this with me just in
case something happened to him.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Sei**
This, too.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Sei**
Forgive me.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Sei**
It's all my fault.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Sei**
I promise I'll make this right.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Sei**
Please be strong and wait for his return.
**[12:18] Oma**
Matahachi's letter said he only
had to pull one more job
**[12:23] ---**
to repay an obligation to someone he owed.
**[12:28] Oma**
And that if something were to happen to him,
**[12:30] ---**
to take care of their child.
**[12:35] Koy**
I have an idea.
**[12:37] Koy**
I just need a few days.
**[12:40] Koy**
Don't tell the chief, will you?
**[12:43] Oma**
But...
**[12:45] Koy**
What I'm about to do could cost me my life.

**[12:59] Koy**
Shikadome no Matahachi.
**[13:02] Koy**
I have a private matter to discuss with you.
**[13:07] Koy**
The truth is, I saw your wife
trying to kill herself,
**[13:11] ---**
and I saved her.
**[13:14] Koy**
It feels like fate, of a sort.
**[13:18] Koy**
Do you believe me?
**[13:23] Koy**
Seigoro brought Otaka your letter.
**[13:27] Koy**
Otaka was heartbroken by
learning you were a thief.
**[13:33] Koy**
You wrote that letter and
gave her money to atone,
**[13:38] Koy**
but I don't think your feelings got through.
**[13:40] Mata**
Wh-Where is Seigoro-dono?
**[13:44] Koy**
He went on a journey looking
for someone, I heard.
**[13:51] Koy**
Otaka is currently in a Shamo chicken
restaurant in Honjo called Gotetsu.
**[13:57] Koy**
Matahachi...
**[13:59] Koy**
If you want to see her, I'll let you.
**[14:03] Koy**
But you have to come back here before dawn.
**[14:08] Koy**
I'll go with you.
**[14:10] Koy**
In exchange...
**[14:12] Mata**
You want me to tell you
where my escaped partner is?
**[14:15] Koy**
Yes.
**[14:17] Mata**
You're a cruel man.
**[14:20] Koy**
Don't be absurd. You killed two men.
**[14:23] Mata**
No! It wasn't me!
**[14:26] Koy**
I know you didn't do it yourself.
**[14:29] Koy**
But if you cover for the person who did it,
**[14:33] Koy**
you're complicit.
**[14:38] Koy**
Well?
**[14:39] ---**
Decide now.
**[14:41] Koy**
Do you want to see your wife or not?
**[14:45] Mata**
But... do you have the authority for this?
**[14:50] Koy**
I said it was personal business.
**[14:53] Mat**
Your master is "Oni no Heizo."
**[14:56] Mat**
Won't this cause trouble for you later?
**[14:59] Koy**
I don't care what happens to me.
**[15:01] Koy**
I'm far more troubled knowing your
murderous partner is still out there.
**[15:08] Mata**
Sir...
**[15:10] Mata**
I'll accept your offer.
**[15:13] Mata**
Let me see my wife.
**[15:17] Koy**
Very well.
**[15:18] Koy**
So where is your comrade,
Amabata no Monzaburo?
**[15:23] Mata**
I'll tell you after I see Otaka.
**[15:31] Chu**
E-Emergency!
**[15:38] Hei**
What is the meaning of this?
**[15:40] Chu**
It appears Koyanagi-dono
let Matahachi escape.
**[15:45] Saji**
What was he thinking?
**[15:52] Saka**
What's going on?
**[15:53] Hei**
Remain calm.
**[15:54] Saj**
Let's send pursuers at once.
**[15:56] Hei**
Wait.
**[15:57] Hei**
Don't tell anyone about this.
**[16:00] Hei**
We can't let word get out.
**[16:02] Saj**
But...
**[16:03] Hei**
I'll take the blame myself.
**[16:13] Koy**
Matahachi...
**[16:15] Koy**
That bridge there.
**[16:18] Koy**
That's where she tried to kill herself.
**[16:25] Mata**
I'm sorry!
**[16:27] Koy**
You...
***SIGN*** Arson & Theft Department
**[16:52] Koy**
Forgive me.
**[16:55] Hei**
If you have something to say, say it.
**[16:59] Koy**
I don't.
**[17:04] Hei**
Sajima...
**[17:05] Hei**
Throw him in a cell.
**[17:07] Saj**
Sir...
**[17:14] Oma**
Please forgive me.
**[17:16] Hei**
He saved Matahachi's wife and child on the
way back from visiting his wife's grave?
**[17:22] Oma**
Yes.
**[17:24] Oma**
Koyanagi-sama believed
it was fate of some kind.
**[17:29] Hei**
But Matahachi never appeared at the Gotetsu?
**[17:33] Oma**
No, sir.
**[17:34] Oma**
I didn't see anyone
matching that description.
**[17:38] Hei**
I see.
**[17:40] Hei**
So he never saw Otaka.
***SIGN*** Reject Evil, Seek Truth

Koyanagi...
**[17:48] Hei**
Do you realize what you've done?
**[17:51] Koy**
Yes.
**[17:52] Hei**
Why would you do something so foolish?
**[17:56] Koy**
I am sorry.
**[17:59] Hei**
That's all you have to say?
**[18:03] Koy**
Yes, sir.
**[18:06] Hei**
Very well.
**[18:09] Man**
He let a thief escape with
no consequences at all?
**[18:13] Man**
Just what is the chief thinking?
**[18:42] Chu**
No inquiry since then,
and Koyanagi-san's said nothing.
**[18:48] Saji**
What's the chief thinking?
**[18:51] Saji**
It's been six months since then.
**[19:01] Hei**
Sit up.
**[19:05] Hei**
It's been a while, hasn't it?
**[19:07] Hei**
The morning glories are blooming outside.
**[19:14] Hei**
Koyanagi...
**[19:16] Hei**
I can't put off your punishment much longer.
**[19:21] Hei**
You really have nothing to say?
**[19:28] Koy**
Chief...
**[19:30] Chu**
Chief!
**[19:33] Hei**
What is it?
**[19:35] Chu**
Matahachi...
**[19:36] ---**
He's back!
**[19:38] Hei**
What?
**[19:40] Koy**
Did he bring something with him?
**[19:55] Hei**
Who is that?
**[19:57] Mata**
Amabata no Monzaburo.
**[20:03] Hei**
The escaped partner?
**[20:05] Mata**
Yes!
**[20:07] Mata**
Hasegawa-sama!
**[20:08] Mata**
Master Koyanagi's done nothing wrong!
**[20:11] Mata**
I planned this all myself!
**[20:14] Mata**
It's entirely my doing!
**[20:16] Mata**
Please, please forgive Master Koyanagi!
**[20:24] Hei**
You people, I swear.
**[20:28] Hei**
You're all hopeless.
**[20:36] Hei**
Koyanagi...
**[20:39] Hei**
I'm sure you're a bit out of shape,
**[20:41] Hei**
but are you ready to get back to work?
**[20:46] Koy**
You're certain?
**[20:50] Hei**
Listen, everyone!
**[20:52] Hei**
I don't care if any of
you do what Koyanagi did.
**[20:55] Hei**
But if you fail, you'd better
be prepared to kill yourselves.
**[21:03] Hei**
Just like he was.
**[21:07] Hei**
Of course, I'll join you then.
**[21:14] Tat**
So Father knew from the start?
**[21:18] Hei**
I guess Koyanagi and Matahachi
were a perfect match,
**[21:22] Hei**
despite never having met before.
**[21:24] Tat**
Honestly...
**[21:26] Tat**
Who'd be happy to be a
perfect match with a thief?
**[21:31] Hei**
Koyanagi and Matahachi are a real hopeless pair,
the sort that's rare to see these days.
**[21:39] Hisa**
What's the matter with you?
**[21:42] Tat**
I wonder if Koyanagi'll
be back to the dojo soon.
**[21:47] Tat**
I sure hope not.
**[21:49] Hei**
He might be even more energetic than before.
**[21:52] Hisa**
You really must try to get into shape.
**[21:55] Tat**
C'mon...
**[21:58] Tat**
I hope he gets hung up on
some beautiful widow soon.
**[22:02] Hisa**
Really!
**[22:03] Hei**
You're hopeless in a different way.

**[00:20] Mata**
Love affairs are strictly

Two similar incidents in spring,
in the capital and Osaka,
**[02:39] ---**
with the same Kitsunebi mark.
**[02:42] Saka**
They've come to Edo, then.
**[02:47] Hei**
Omasa...
**[02:50] Hei**
You mentioned that the leader
of the Kitsunebi was dead.
**[02:54] Oma**
Yes.
**[02:55] Hei**
Does that mean his son,
the successor, is behind this?
**[02:58] Oma**
No.
**[03:00] Oma**
It wasn't him.
**[03:01] Oma**
This wasn't his successor.
**[03:04] Oma**
That man would never do something so awful!
**[03:08] Hei**
Omasa...
***SIGN*** Teahouse Restaurant "Yorozu-ya"
**[03:20] Hei**
Omasa, why are you covering for the
successor to the Kitsunebi's leadership?
**[03:24] Oma**
When I served the last Kitsunebi,
his successor and I...
**[03:30] Hei**
I see.
**[03:32] Oma**
Don't rape, don't kill,
don't steal from the poor.
**[03:36] Oma**
Their leader firmly upheld
the three laws of the thief.
**[03:39] Oma**
His successor would have carried that on.
**[03:42] Oma**
He'd never do anything so monstrous.
**[03:46] Hei**
Say, Omasa...
**[03:48] Hei**
Even if you did once have a
relationship with that man,
**[03:53] Hei**
I can't overlook the kind of brute that
would perform such a barbaric act.
**[04:00] Hei**
And neither can you. Am I wrong?
**[04:03] Oma**
Of course not.
**[04:06] Hei**
You were once with the Kitsunebi,
so I'm relying on you.
**[04:09] Hei**
See to it.
**[04:11] Oma**
I will.
**[04:15] Oma**
*Their last leader had two sons.*
**[04:19] Oma**
*The elder, Matataro.*
**[04:21] Oma**
*The younger, Bunkichi.*
**[04:24] Oma**
* One would expect Matataro, the elder,*
* to take control of the group.*
**[04:27] Oma**
*But Matataro was the son of a concubine.*
**[04:30] Oma**
* It wouldn't be unusual for Bunkichi,*
* the legitimate son, to take over the business.*
**[04:35] Oma**
Yes... that must be it.
**[04:45] Oma**
*Matataro-san can't be the successor.*
**[04:51] Oma**
*It can't be him.*
**[04:55] Oma**
*He didn't do such things.*
**[04:59] Oma**
The day of the break-in?
**[05:02] Han**
A female pilgrim collapsed in front
of the shop where it happened.
**[05:06] Han**
She was carried into the shop.
***SIGN*** Yamada-ya
**[05:09] Sign**
She looked about thirty or so.
**[05:18] Oma**
*That woman had to be Hikikomi no Osen.*
**[05:22] Oma**
* The last leader frequently had her disguise*
* as a female pilgrim to case the target.*
**[05:26] Oma**
*There has to be a hideout somewhere.*
**[05:29] Oma**
* But the Kitsunebi only work*
* in the western region...*
**[05:33] Oma**
*I don't have anyone to ask.*
**[05:36] Oma**
*No, there is someone...*
**[05:39] Oma**
* Someone in Edo who knows the*
* Kitsunebi even better than I.*
**[05:51] Seto**
Omasa-san...
**[05:55] Oma**
It's been some time,
Setogawa no Genshichi-san.
**[05:58] Seto**
How'd you find me?
**[06:00] Oma**
I remembered spotting you here once before.
**[06:05] Oma**
Is that true?
**[06:07] Gen**
Hush! Voice down!
**[06:09] Gen**
I've gone straight.
**[06:12] Gen**
I have to be careful.
**[06:13] Oma**
I'm sorry.
**[06:14] Oma**
But is that story true?
**[06:16] Gen**
Yes.
**[06:17] Gen**
Four years ago, when the leader was dying,
**[06:22] Gen**
he gave his last words to all of us.
**[06:25] Gen**
"My successor is Matataro."
**[06:30] Gen**
I was there. I heard it said.
**[06:33] Oma**
No!
**[06:34] Oma**
Then the incident in Ichigaya...
**[06:36] Gen**
Ichigaya? Did something happen?
**[06:39] Oma**
N-No...
**[06:41] Oma**
But Matataro-san in the
west right now, isn't he?
**[06:44] Oma**
He must be.
**[06:46] Gen**
Matataro-san isn't with you?
**[06:49] Oma**
What? Why would you say that?
**[06:52] Gen**
Well, not long ago.
**[06:58] Gen**
I saw him pass by without noticing me.
**[07:02] Gen**
I assumed he was going to see you.
**[07:07] Oma**
Matataro-san is in Edo?
**[07:09] Gen**
He had a fearsome expression,
like none I'd seen on him before.
**[07:12] Gen**
He was almost a different man.
**[07:15] Gen**
But I'm sure it was Mata-san.
**[07:19] Kume**
Are you Setogawa no Genshichi-san?
**[07:25] Hiko**
Maa-chan!
**[07:30] Oma**
What are you doing here?
**[07:32] Kume**
A man can clean up his act,
**[07:33] Kume**
but he can't erase the dirt he's left behind.
**[07:36] Hiko**
We heard that Matataro was in Edo.
**[07:39] Hiko**
Is it true?
**[07:41] Oma**
You heard that?
**[07:43] Kume**
Where is he now?
**[07:46] Kume**
We have to let Hasegawa-sama know.
**[07:49] Oma**
Wait!
**[07:51] Oma**
We don't know yet that he did it.
**[07:54] Oma**
Please tell Hasegawa-sama not
to kill him if he finds him...
**[07:58] Kume**
That will be up to Hasegawa-sama.
**[08:03] Oma**
But...
**[08:04] Hiko**
Maa-chan, you still care
that deeply for Matataro?
**[08:09] Kuma**
Omasa.
**[08:10] Kuma**
Time can change people...
**[08:15] Kuma**
Into someone completely different.
**[08:19] Kuma**
Be careful.
**[08:24] Hiko**
No need to worry, Maa-chan.
**[08:26] Hiko**
I'll be sure to tell Tetsu-san what you said.
**[08:29] Oma**
Thank you, sir.
**[08:35] Gen**
Omasa-san...
**[08:37] Gen**
Who were those two?
**[08:39] Oma**
Old thief friends.
**[08:43] Oma**
But Genshichi-san... can I ask you a favor?
**[08:48] Oma**
If Matataro-san visits again,
**[08:51] Oma**
please tell him this.
**[08:54] Gen**
I'll do it, if you like, but...
**[08:58] Oma**
Please do.
**[08:59] Gen**
Hey!

I've located Setogawa no Genshichi.
**[09:28] Kawa**
He might be in contact with that man.
**[09:31] Kawa**
What do we do, successor?
**[09:53] Oma**
Are you a messenger from Genshichi-san?
**[09:55] Man**
Yes.
**[09:56] Man**
Open up.
**[09:57] Man**
Genshichi-san is in danger!
**[09:59] Oma**
Wait. I'm on my way.
**[10:15] Kawa**
She's gone.
**[10:16] Bun**
Get her!
**[10:32] Kawa**
That hurt.
**[10:39] Kawa**
Naughty girl...
**[10:52] Kawa**
You stupid bitch!
**[11:06] Oma**
Bunkichi-san...
**[11:08] Bun**
Where is my brother?
**[11:10] Bun**
Where is Matataro?
**[11:12] Oma**
I don't know.
**[11:14] Oma**
I'm looking for him, too.
**[11:16] Bun**
We know he's in Edo.
**[11:19] Kawa**
I'll murder that bitch!
**[11:23] Bun**
She's important to my brother.
**[11:29] Bun**
I'll have my way with her.
**[11:44] Oma**
Matataro-san!

***SIGN*** Shinagawa Isei-ya Inn
**[12:26] Mata**
It's been some time, Omasa.
**[12:29] Oma**
And you, successor.
**[12:31] Mata**
Don't call me that.
**[12:32] Mata**
Just Matataro is fine.
**[12:33] Mata**
Like the old days.
**[12:37] Oma**
Matataro-san...
**[12:39] Oma**
What brings you to Edo?
**[12:41] Mata**
To stop Bunkichi... the fake Kitsunebi.
**[12:44] Oma**
Then the incident in Ichigaya...
**[12:48] Mata**
It was Bunkichi's doing.
**[12:50] Mata**
He pulled two jobs like that
in the west beforehand.
**[12:53] Mata**
Messy, violent jobs...
**[12:56] Mata**
Our leader would weep to know the Kitsunebi
name was being placed on such barbarism.
**[13:02] Oma**
Then you're not...
**[13:05] Mata**
In the four years since
I took over the business,
**[13:07] Mata**
I've tolerated no rape, no murder,
no stealing from the poor.
**[13:12] Mata**
I pulled off a big job
respecting the three rules.
**[13:18] Oma**
I see.
**[13:19] Mata**
But Bunkichi didn't like it.
**[13:25] Mata**
He never liked that a bastard like
me had inherited the business.
**[13:33] Oma**
Matataro-san...
**[13:35] Oma**
The head of law enforcement in Edo
now is a man named Hasegawa Heizo.
**[13:41] Mata**
I've heard the rumors. He's like an oni.
**[13:44] Oma**
He's a strict man who won't
tolerate such villainy.
**[13:48] Oma**
Let Onihei take care of Bunkichi.
**[13:50] Oma**
You should return to the west.
**[13:54] Mata**
I appreciate the concern.
**[13:58] Mata**
But Omasa... I must deal
with Bunkichi myself.
**[14:06] Oma**
What do you intend to do with him?
**[14:08] Mata**
Get him to confess,
**[14:10] ---**
bring him back to the capital,
and beat the true ways of theft into him.
**[14:15] Oma**
And if... If he refuses
to do as you tell him?
**[14:20] Mata**
Then...
**[14:23] Oma**
Very well. I see I can't stop you.
**[14:26] Mata**
You accept this?
**[14:28] Oma**
In exchange, let me help you.
**[14:30] Mata**
No, I can't let you be
put into any more danger.
**[14:34] Oma**
Matataro-san...
**[14:36] Oma**
You don't know Edo well, do you?
**[14:37] Mata**
Well...
**[14:39] Oma**
And... and...
**[14:42] Mata**
Omasa...
**[14:44] Oma**
You're tired, aren't you?
**[14:46] Oma**
You must rest.
**[14:49] Mata**
Omasa, I've missed you for so long.
**[14:54] Oma**
But...
**[15:06] Bun**
Damn it!
**[15:08] Kawa**
No worries, boss.
**[15:10] Kawa**
We'll bring those two in.
**[15:12] Bun**
Not "boss."
**[15:14] Bun**

**[15:18] Kawa**
You're so sensitive, successor.
**[15:20] Bun**

Yesterday, the old man and I
got worried and stopped by.
**[15:41] Kume**
And then we saw those ruffians attack her.
**[15:44] Kume**
We pursued, but...
**[15:45] Hiko**
Then a traveler appeared and saved her.
**[15:48] Hei**
Matataro?
**[15:50] Kume**
She's probably still with him.
**[15:53] Hiko**
I'm sure Omasa has a plan of her own in mind.
**[15:56] Hiko**
It's true. It has to be!
**[16:00] Hei**
We need to find them both
before the ruffians do.
**[16:04] Hei**
Will you help me?
**[16:05] Both**
Yes.
**[16:19] Old**
Yeah, I saw Omasa this mornin'.
**[16:22] Old**
She was leavin' the inn with a man.
**[16:26] Old**
They got acquainted, if ya know what I mean.
**[16:30] Kume**
Do you know where they went?
**[16:32] Old**
'Fraid not.
**[16:33] Old**
But they didn't have any bags,
**[16:36] ---**
so I'm sure they'll come
back to the inn tonight.
**[16:39] Old**
What exactly's going on anyway?
**[16:42] Old**
There was a woman looking
for Omasa not long ago, too.
**[16:46] Old**
Not a familiar face for the area, either.
**[16:48] Kume**
Did you tell her the location of her inn?
**[16:51] Old**
Y-Yeah. She said they used to

I'll remind you how to be a real thief.

Nonsense.

Real thief? Nonsense.

Two or three years prepping the mark,

It's those roundabout methods that
keep us from making any decent money.
**[18:53] Mata**
That's the preparation required
to go without killing anyone.
**[18:56] Mata**
That's the art of the thief.
**[18:59] Bun**
No rape, no murder,
no stealing from the poor.
**[19:04] Bun**
It's all so old-fashioned.
**[19:07] Mata**
It's not a matter of old or new.
**[19:10] Mata**
It's about how you want to live.
**[19:12] Mata**
What kind of man you want to be.
**[19:15] Mata**
That's all.
**[19:17] Bun**
Don't look at me like that.
**[19:21] Bun**
Someone with the blessings you had
couldn't understand how I feel.
**[19:27] Mata**
What?
**[19:28] Bun**
It's always been that way.
**[19:31] Bun**
Everything I wanted was yours from the start.
**[19:36] Bun**
The looks, the skill, the popularity, and...
**[19:41] Bun**
The woman.
**[19:46] Bun**
I sucked it all up.
**[19:48] Bun**
I said, "That's destiny. What's to be done?"
**[19:51] Bun**
But when you even took the
successor's name, I realized...
**[19:56] Bun**
At this rate, I'll be a lifelong loser.
**[19:59] Mata**
Bunkichi...
**[20:06] Bun**
So I'm not sucking it up any longer.
**[20:10] Bun**
Leave the "successor" name here.
**[20:17] Kume**
Not good...
***SIGN*** Arson & Theft
**[20:30] Hei**
Hasegawa Heizo of the
Arson & Theft Department!
**[20:35] Bun**
Onihei, eh?
**[20:38] Kawa**
Rumors are just rumors.
**[20:41] Kawa**
We'll see just how—
**[21:14] Bun**
I get it, Bro.
**[21:16] Bun**
I'll return to the capital.
**[21:40] Bun**
As usual... I just can't win.
**[21:46] Mata**
Bunkichi...
**[21:48] Bun**
Farewell... successor.
**[22:00] Oma**
Matataro-san...
**[22:08] Hei**
Is that the successor to Kitsunebi Yugaro?
**[22:12] Oma**
No.
**[22:14] Oma**
He's known as Imazuya,
a merchant from the west.
**[22:18] Mata**
Omasa...
**[22:20] Oma**
That man there, Bunkichi,
**[22:22] ---**
killed the real successor, took his name,
and committed those murders.
**[22:26] Oma**
He just wanted to help bring him to justice.
**[22:30] Oma**
That's all.
**[22:36] Hei**
Then the real successor is dead?
**[22:39] Mata**
Yes.
**[22:43] Hei**
Imazuya, was it?
**[22:45] Mata**
Yes.
**[22:46] Hei**
Thank you for your help today.
**[22:50] Hei**
Never return to Edo.
**[22:55] Mata**
Thank you, sir.
**[23:09] Oma**
You called?
**[23:10] Hei**
Yes.
**[23:12] Hei**
Imazuya Matataro is dead.
**[23:16] Hei**
He caught a disease in the
capital and died quickly.
**[23:20] Hei**
At the time of his passing,
he left a message for you.
**[23:24] Hei**
"Tell Omasa to be well."
