[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.

[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...

[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.
