[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.
SIGN    Kozu-ya Paper Wholesaler
[11:09] Gen
    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.
SIGN    Paper Wholesaler Kozu-ya
[13:22] Iso
    Is something the matter?
SIGN    Kozu-ya
    Paper Wholesaler
[13:25] Gen
    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
    Magokichi-san... Ohiro-san...
[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.
[16:45] Wasu
    You came to me for help, and I...
[16:54] Wasu
    Magokichi-san? Ohiro-san?
[17:06] Man
    Hey!
[17:06] Man
    What are you doing?
[17:23] Man
    If you can't pay, get out!
SIGN    Bar
[17:26] Man
    You old drunkard!
[17:32] Wasu
    Damn it...
[17:34] Gen
    I can't believe Isotaro did that to me!
[17:37] Gen
    It's not like I told him to kill himself!
[17:40] Woman
    You're so cruel, sir.
[17:42] Woman
    Framing him that way...
[17:44] Gen
    That's right, I'm a nasty guy!
[17:47] Woman
    Oh, you!
[17:57] Wasu
    When's the job?
[18:01] Sada
    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.
[20:12] Thief
    Crap!
[20:13] Sada
    We failed.
[20:14] Wasu
    No...
[20:16] Wasu
    This is for the best.
[20:19] Gen
    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.
