[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.

    Whadda you want, kid?

[14:06] Kume
    Really? Looks like it'll be the death of you.

    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.

    Lemme go!
[20:03] Hei
    He really is an imposter, then?
[20:06] Kume
    Yes.
[20:08] Kume
    He's not the real Tanbei.

    He's an imposter.
