[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.
