[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. SIGN    Boatmans' Inn, Ishijima, Fukagawa     "Tsuru-ya" [06:08] Kume     Excuse me. [06:10] Kume     Where's the chief? [06:12] Hei     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     underworld for his skill, [06:22] ---     and the smell of perfume     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     name or what he looks like. [06:34] Kume     All they know is that he     never fails to land his kill. [06:39] Kume     Chief... [06:41] Hei     Don't you worry. [06:43] Hei     Remember who I am. [06:46] Hei     I'm Heizo the Oni! SIGN    Ya SIGN    Tsuru [06:58] Hei     Thanks for letting me use     this as a meeting spot. [07:03] Ri     Really, it's nothing. [07:04] Ri     We're just happy to be useful. [07:07] Omi     Come by as many times as you like. [07:09] Hei     Thank you kindly. [07:13] Hei     It's appreciated. [07:19] Hei     Rain, eh? [08:00] Kume     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. SIGN    Sweets Maker: "Omi-ya" [09:37] Woman     A present for your wife? [09:40] Hei     I've caused her no end of worry lately. SIGN    Hagoromo Senbei [09:43] Woman     Here you are. [09:46] Hei     Thank you. [09:51] Hei     Ma'am... [09:53] Hei     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     Near "Naniwa-ya" [10:28] Chu     You think he'll really show? [10:31] Saka     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... [11:15] Han     Risking your masters' good humor     for an unworthy man like myself. SIGN    Perfumes [11:40] Chu     Darn it. When's he gonna come? [12:28] Kan     Really! She's utterly worthless. [12:32] Wife     Clearly, her late mother     failed to raise her right. [12:36] Wife     If you want to quit, you should do it. [12:39] Wife     You're easily replaceable, you know. SIGN    Arson & Theft     Department [13:09] Saka     Forgive us. [13:11] Hei     You're forgiven. [13:13] Hei     Thanks to you, we have his face. [13:17] Hei     His time is running out. SIGN    Wanted Notice SIGN    Nihachi Soba [13:46] Han     Osaki... [13:49] Han     Thank you. [13:53] Han     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     "Tsuru-ya" [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. SIGN    Next Time [23:42] Hei     Omasa becomes Heizo's new spy. [23:46] Hei     But when his old friend is put     in danger, how will Heizo react?
