00:01:27 Not that way
00:01:34 No, no, no!
00:01:43 Thank you. You may go
00:02:00 After a long illness
00:02:04 ...when I was five
00:02:08 She had consumption...
00:02:12 ...so from when I can remember
00:02:17 Thus I have almost no memory
00:02:31 Ito... Ito...
00:02:34 You poor little darling!
00:02:59 I am from Unasaka, in the northeast
00:03:07 Before 1868 it was the castle town
00:03:10 ...a small fief of 70,000 koku
00:03:38 well done, one and all
00:03:41 That's it for today
00:03:51 Sakaguchi...
00:03:53 I've heard there's a good
00:03:58 Oh, you mean 'Hisago'?
00:04:01 Feel like a drink?
00:04:02 A fine idea
00:04:05 Kawanami, will you come?
00:04:08 I will
00:04:09 Iguchi?
00:04:11 For a change?
00:04:14 Not me, thanks
00:04:16 we can't twist your arm?
00:04:18 If you'll excuse me...
00:04:23 Twilight's not very exciting
00:04:37 with a sick wife, two young daughters
00:04:43 ...my father was unable
00:04:48 He had to hurry home
00:05:03 I was told the men
00:05:08 ...gave him the cruel nickname
00:05:16 THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI
00:05:36 Ito...
00:05:38 Father!
00:05:40 Up you go!
00:05:47 Your face is dirty
00:06:06 Father's back!
00:06:08 Welcome home
00:06:16 Codfish stew tonight, Kayano?
00:06:23 Don't drop it
00:06:27 I'm home, Mother
00:06:32 Of what household are you, sir?
00:06:36 I am Seibei Iguchi of the
00:06:41 I see...
00:06:45 She's getting worse. She doesn't
00:07:00 Kayano, I've simmered
00:07:04 Thank you. You're always
00:07:08 Naota... you can go home now
00:07:12 Yup
00:07:28 Good evening
00:07:31 But Yazaki, can't we do something
00:07:36 His kimono's all ripped
00:07:40 There's this smell
00:07:44 It just won't do!
00:07:47 Yes, sir. we all find it
00:07:50 we've asked around about
00:07:53 ...but no woman would want
00:07:57 Indeed!
00:07:59 He's got two young girls
00:08:02 ...and 20 of his 50 koku
00:08:07 Any woman who went to him
00:08:12 Yes, he owes money
00:08:15 I don't know how he paid for
00:08:18 Not even selling your sword
00:08:24 A funeral! That's something
00:08:27 My father's not going to
00:08:32 Kawanami's lucky
00:08:37 You'd better go easy with her
00:08:42 Is that why you're always
00:08:47 I am not!
00:08:49 Listen to him!
00:08:51 Kumi...
00:08:53 Welcome!
00:08:55 Isn't she gorgeous!
00:08:57 Kume...
00:09:24 Bed-time, Gran
00:09:28 Good night, Seibei
00:09:31 Good night
00:09:35 It looks like
00:09:40 The Master said: To rule a land
00:09:47 Kayano...
00:09:49 That's Confucius, isn't it?
00:09:53 At the end of last month
00:09:58 ...from now on even girls
00:10:01 That's good
00:10:03 When I was a boy I read Confucius
00:10:12 Father...
00:10:15 If I learn to do
00:10:17 ...someday I can make kimonos
00:10:24 But what good will
00:10:30 Well, it probably won't ever be
00:10:43 But you know...
00:10:46 ...book learning gives you
00:10:52 ...to think
00:10:55 However the world might change
00:11:01 ...you'll always survive somehow
00:11:04 That's true for boys
00:11:10 All right?
00:11:11 Yes
00:11:14 Keep reading, then
00:11:17 Tseng Tzu said: Each day
00:11:22 ...I ask myself...
00:11:25 ...if I have faithfully carried out
00:11:30 My mother's illness had left
00:11:34 As Grandmother lost her wits, all the
00:11:40 ...and the field work fell to him
00:11:45 Left with little time
00:11:49 ...he gradually became
00:11:55 As his daughter, I felt terrible
00:12:04 Wipe off that dust!
00:12:07 They're coming!
00:12:12 His Lordship attends!
00:12:14 Kawanami! Quick!
00:12:17 Provisions'
00:12:20 Vital stores of food for when
00:12:26 ...is besieged
00:12:29 Next we have the Salt Storehouse...
00:12:37 Here you have your beans
00:12:42 We pay particular attention
00:12:46 Dried giant horse-radish
00:12:51 Kusaka!
00:12:56 This is dried codfish...
00:12:59 ...very important provisioning
00:13:03 How much have we got?
00:13:07 Iguchi...
00:13:13 Iguchi? You may answer
00:13:19 By your leave. we have
00:13:25 ...by weight approximately
00:13:28 How long does it keep?
00:13:31 Between five and ten years
00:13:34 This here is the oldest
00:13:37 It was acquired
00:13:41 This dried cod from Kansaki is best
00:13:51 That strange smell I noticed
00:14:01 Clan retainers must serve
00:14:07 Keep yourself clean
00:14:10 Yes, Milord!
00:14:13 Carry on
00:14:19 Idiot!
00:14:31 Sir, I...
00:14:33 I'll speak to you later
00:14:35 But...
00:14:36 Be quiet!
00:14:42 Iguchi!
00:14:46 You damn fool!
00:14:52 The story spread
00:14:56 My father became
00:15:09 My Great-Uncle came from
00:15:21 Hello!
00:15:23 Hello!
00:15:27 Seibei!
00:15:29 It's Uncle...
00:15:32 I'm in for it now
00:15:35 Is anybody here?
00:15:40 Coming!
00:15:43 Kayano, make some tea
00:15:45 Who is it?
00:15:46 Great-Uncle!
00:15:49 Disgraceful!
00:15:54 You appeared before His Lordship
00:15:58 The unpleasant impression
00:15:59 ...shames the house of Iguchi
00:16:05 That was inexcusable
00:16:07 I went to Senior Retainer Terauchi
00:16:14 His Lordship is a generous man
00:16:19 Had that been his father, though...
00:16:23 ...this would have meant
00:16:25 I never dreamed
00:16:30 I beg your forgiveness
00:16:33 Kayano?
00:16:36 How old are you now?
00:16:38 I am ten years old
00:16:41 Are you working at
00:16:45 I'm learning needlework
00:16:49 A girl has no need
00:16:53 All you need is
00:16:56 Too much book learning
00:16:59 You can go
00:17:10 I am here today
00:17:17 A marriage arrangement
00:17:19 You need a hard-working wife
00:17:26 A village-headman acquaintance
00:17:30 ...whom he agrees
00:17:34 He knows you are poor, have two
00:17:40 I'm sure you realize that you are
00:17:44 You need a healthy wife with
00:17:49 Her face is of no concern
00:17:52 So I'll proceed with this
00:18:02 With all due respect
00:18:05 How?
00:18:07 I am not nearly as miserable
00:18:13 Of course, offending His Lordship
00:18:18 ...was wrong, and I vow
00:18:24 However...
00:18:27 ...watching my daughters
00:18:33 ...how shall I put it?
00:18:36 It's like watching crops ripen
00:18:44 I enjoy it very much
00:18:50 I'm not sure if the lady
00:18:53 ...would understand that
00:18:58 Who would understand
00:19:03 You've always been like this...
00:19:06 ...tormenting your poor father
00:19:12 What has your marriage
00:19:18 Then I beg leave
00:19:21 I ask that you not concern yourself
00:19:27 You defy the main branch
00:19:31 You are welcome here
00:19:36 Kinu... are you well?
00:19:39 I am, thank you
00:19:41 May I ask of which household
00:19:47 I'm your damn brother!
00:19:49 Take her away, Seibei
00:19:53 Mother...
00:19:55 Most unseemly! what will
00:19:59 Tie her to a post somewhere!
00:20:06 'Expect no more help from me! '...
00:20:13 ...shouted my great-uncle
00:20:19 Can you do that?
00:20:21 Let me see
00:20:28 Here... twist it
00:20:34 Is Gran asleep?
00:20:36 Yes
00:20:39 Good
00:20:40 Father...
00:20:43 Gran was crying, you know
00:20:46 Uncle shouted at her
00:20:50 Poor Gran!
00:20:56 Do you like Uncle?
00:21:01 You don't?
00:21:07 I hate him
00:21:14 He came to talk about a new wife
00:21:22 I don't want to take
00:21:27 You'd think we were
00:21:30 All she needs is to be healthy
00:21:40 Are you two lonely...
00:21:44 ...without a mother?
00:21:49 I'm not lonely if you're here
00:21:52 Me, too
00:21:59 That's my girls
00:22:11 Do you want the toilet, Gran?
00:22:41 Look!
00:22:44 Butterbur buds!
00:22:52 what's that?
00:22:56 A child!
00:22:59 The poor thing!
00:23:03 where'd he come from?
00:23:06 Matsukawa, maybe
00:23:08 Rise to Buddha!
00:23:11 As children
00:23:16 ...by the river
00:23:21 But those were times
00:23:25 The cold melt water often brought
00:23:28 ...dead of starvation
00:23:37 Aim...
00:23:43 Fire!
00:23:52 All of you, watch me
00:23:54 Elbows up...
00:23:56 Brace the right knee...
00:23:59 Seibei! Sorry to keep you
00:24:05 You went to Kyoto?
00:24:07 Yes, with the Majordomo to talk
00:24:11 what's Kyoto like?
00:24:14 I had high hopes for it
00:24:19 I've never seen the like
00:24:24 Filthy masterless samurai from
00:24:28 ...cursing and swearing
00:24:33 Then someone shouts 'Divine
00:24:40 The Kamo River's full of headless
00:24:47 I thought it'd be geishas in Gion...
00:24:56 Dear me!
00:25:00 Prime!
00:25:03 Aim!
00:25:05 Fire!
00:25:08 Misfire!
00:25:10 wait! what's wrong?
00:25:14 Ow!
00:25:16 Fool!
00:25:18 I told you to wait!
00:25:22 They're a bit late
00:25:26 The Choshu clan may have been
00:25:28 but they'll be back with Satsuma
00:25:31 They'll snuff out 250 years of
00:25:37 what's our clan doing?
00:25:39 Our leaders aren't thinking!
00:25:44 How would you like
00:25:49 The Emperor's palace
00:25:52 I'll recommend you
00:25:54 You'll see how things are
00:25:57 Someone like you shouldn't be
00:26:02 I'm afraid
00:26:07 The times are changing
00:26:10 when they do, I'll give up
00:26:17 That's what I'm suited for
00:26:24 You're a strange one
00:26:28 But you always were
00:26:34 No ambition at all
00:26:37 Oh, I nearly forgot...
00:26:42 My condolences
00:26:49 Burn a joss stick for her
00:26:51 You didn't have to...
00:26:55 I wanted to send my sister
00:26:58 ...but she was having
00:27:03 I'm sorry
00:27:04 Miss Tomoe? what's wrong?
00:27:09 You know she married the son
00:27:14 It turns out this Toyotaro
00:27:19 If I'd known
00:27:21 A mean drunk?
00:27:23 He'd hit her, kick her...
00:27:27 She'd come running
00:27:31 I was worried
00:27:35 ...so I got the Castle
00:27:38 Divorced?
00:27:40 Just recently
00:27:42 So now Tomoe's
00:27:48 Really?
00:27:53 And here I thought she was the wife
00:27:59 I had no idea
00:28:02 I made a mistake. She's gone
00:28:14 well done, one and all
00:28:17 That's it for today
00:28:27 Sakaguchi...
00:28:29 Sakaguchi! Feel like
00:28:34 You want to see O-Kume!
00:28:36 Quiet!
00:28:37 You come too, Kawanami
00:28:39 Again?
00:28:40 Damn right!
00:28:41 I'll be going
00:28:43 Iguchi...
00:28:45 You should come see the girls
00:28:49 I'm fine, thanks.
00:28:54 Iguchi...
00:28:55 Don't waste your breath
00:29:10 Look, Naota. The azaleas are out
00:29:13 Yup
00:29:23 Kayano, Ito, I'm home!
00:29:29 No one's here...
00:29:39 welcome home
00:29:45 It's been a long time
00:29:54 Uh... perhaps there's... um
00:30:00 You were out
00:30:08 Have you forgotten me?
00:30:17 Oh, Miss Tomoe!
00:30:21 I didn't know you
00:30:25 I've just seen your brother today
00:30:31 So you know all about it, then?
00:30:37 Yes
00:30:39 Because of that I'm back
00:30:44 There's nothing for me to do
00:30:48 I came here to escape
00:30:52 You're very welcome
00:30:55 Let's go inside
00:30:59 Your sock...
00:31:01 Oh, yes...
00:31:14 It seems your father
00:31:17 we always played together!
00:31:21 welcome home
00:31:24 Kayano, Ito, this is Miss Tomoe
00:31:30 Childhood friends
00:31:33 I did not!
00:31:35 I got a present
00:31:38 Me, too
00:31:40 Aren't they pretty!
00:31:43 Mother, I'm home
00:31:45 welcome home
00:31:47 Do you know this lady?
00:31:51 She's Miss Tomoe
00:31:53 See? She remembered me
00:31:55 That's good. And of course
00:32:03 Of which household are you?
00:32:09 I'm your son
00:32:12 You are, are you?
00:32:14 Hello
00:32:16 Tane, watch the hotpot
00:32:20 It was as if our house was brighter
00:32:29 I've never forgotten
00:32:32 I always wanted to do
00:32:38 Once I was climbing a pine tree
00:32:43 ...and I got hurt
00:32:45 Really?
00:32:47 Yes! Your father happened
00:32:51 ...and he carried me piggy-back
00:32:56 I think he was 12 or 13
00:33:02 His back was this big!
00:33:07 Just like a grown-up's
00:33:13 Do you remember, Seibei?
00:33:16 I remember
00:33:22 when I was nine
00:33:25 ...I couldn't play
00:33:29 I was so sad...
00:33:33 Being a girl's no fun, Kayano
00:33:37 Drip, drip drip...
00:33:41 ...come our Chonbei's tears
00:33:44 Drip, drip, drip...
00:33:46 Let's catch his falling tears...
00:33:51 ...and wipe them away...
00:33:54 wipe them away...
00:33:57 Let's take his
00:34:02 ...and wash it clean...
00:34:03 wash it clean...
00:34:05 Let's take the kimono
00:34:08 ...and wring it out...
00:34:10 wring it out...
00:34:12 Let's take the kimono
00:34:16 ...and hang it to dry...
00:34:18 Hang it to dry...
00:34:26 You haven't changed
00:34:32 It's as if I'm
00:34:38 That's not true
00:34:41 You still smile
00:34:48 You don't have to console me
00:34:57 People told me how radiant
00:35:02 ...when you went to
00:35:05 I don't want to remember
00:35:32 It's very late
00:35:39 Say hello to your brother
00:35:44 Your beard's growing out...
00:35:48 It's so soft!
00:35:53 Iinuma! I want the truth!
00:35:55 That man's here!
00:35:57 My husband...
00:36:03 My ex-husband... I'd know
00:36:10 I'm going!
00:36:12 Your master's leaving
00:36:13 Hands off!
00:36:15 I'm not drunk!
00:36:16 My sandals!
00:36:19 Iinuma! where's Tomoe gone?
00:36:22 I told you, she's at her aunt's
00:36:25 You're lying!
00:36:27 Please! Keep your voice down!
00:36:31 To hell with her
00:36:33 Listen, linuma...
00:36:35 If I'm not good enough for Tomoe
00:36:40 But linuma...
00:36:42 ...I've got a bone to pick
00:36:45 You went to His Lordship
00:36:49 Squire Koda, I've told you
00:36:54 Shut up!
00:36:56 You made me a joke
00:37:01 I demand satisfaction!
00:37:05 Squire Koda!
00:37:05 My sword!
00:37:08 Stop this, will you?!
00:37:11 Tomoe...
00:37:14 where've you been
00:37:19 where I go is no one's business
00:37:23 And I'll say this, too
00:37:26 I am not your wife now
00:37:36 Tomoe! Get inside!
00:37:42 Perhaps that's enough?
00:37:45 who are you?!
00:37:53 I am Seibei Iguchi
00:37:59 Perhaps I could accept
00:38:03 But here we are in the town
00:38:08 And you are drunk
00:38:12 Let's settle this another time
00:38:24 If you've put yourself forward
00:38:29 ...you must know how to fight
00:38:31 I make no such claim
00:38:35 Fine. we fight tomorrow
00:38:40 Tomorrow?
00:38:42 By the river behind Hannyaji
00:38:51 Done
00:38:53 Behind Hannyaji, 8th hour
00:38:59 See you
00:39:13 Seibei, he's serious!
00:39:17 Are you?
00:39:19 I had no choice
00:39:21 He's good with a sword
00:39:24 It'll work out
00:39:27 I'll say good night
00:39:29 Don't tell Tomoe about this
00:39:37 wait!
00:39:43 what if you kill him?
00:39:47 I'll think of something
00:39:51 Good night
00:40:10 Naota...
00:40:50 we're going
00:40:54 Ito!
00:41:05 Yu Tzu said: Harmony is the
00:41:11 Good morning
00:41:23 Sit down!
00:41:36 I'm leaving
00:42:29 This is no good. I'm slow
00:43:05 You think you can take me?
00:43:08 Damn right!
00:43:10 Then get ready
00:43:16 He's afraid!
00:43:23 Hold it!
00:43:26 I said last night
00:43:31 I should do this
00:43:32 You're no match for him
00:43:37 I'm sorry I'm late, Squire Koda
00:43:43 what's that stick?
00:43:46 My school of swordfighting
00:43:51 Do you mock me?
00:43:55 A sword might kill
00:44:00 It will break bones at worst
00:44:04 I won't take this from a samurai
00:44:37 watch for the draw-and-slash!
00:44:44 You can still apologize
00:44:48 The apology is yours to make
00:45:37 with a real sword, you'd be dead
00:45:54 Do you apologize?
00:45:58 Or do you continue?
00:46:25 Splash some water on him
00:46:29 Come on, Iinuma
00:46:37 You're all right?
00:46:40 Don't tell Miss Tomoe
00:46:44 Or anyone else, either
00:46:47 Those men will talk
00:46:51 No. A whipped dog
00:47:19 Is that soy sauce? Over here
00:47:54 Excuse me for interrupting. I am
00:48:00 I know that
00:48:02 Are you the 'Twilight Seibei'
00:48:07 ...and left him with
00:48:12 I didn't really 'thrash' him
00:48:19 He asked for a match, and my
00:48:23 Koda is a drinking companion
00:48:27 The other day...
00:48:31 ...he came crying to me, asking
00:48:42 That's the kind of man he is
00:48:46 But it seems you can fight
00:48:52 Many years ago I trained
00:48:59 So you're a disciple
00:49:04 I merely attended his dojo
00:49:09 Perhaps we could
00:49:13 I'd be no match for you
00:49:33 I wish I wasn't getting old
00:49:38 First your teeth go
00:49:44 And how's number three?
00:49:47 That went long ago!
00:49:53 That's it for today, everyone
00:50:12 I'll be going
00:50:18 Excuse me
00:50:24 Sir Twilight's gone?
00:50:28 Didn't you hear?
00:50:32 The other day 'Sir Twilight' fought
00:50:37 A fight? And what happened?
00:50:41 wood against steel
00:50:44 Sir Twilight went bang!
00:50:47 He did?
00:50:49 I always thought he was strange
00:50:52 I never thought
00:50:56 Maybe we shouldn't
00:51:00 You think he knows?
00:51:02 Sure he does
00:51:19 Fumi! It's raining!
00:51:30 It's raining!
00:51:33 Yes!
00:51:44 welcome home
00:51:46 Miss Tomoe was here
00:51:53 She's got even nicer writing
00:52:00 Let me!
00:52:01 No!
00:52:05 I have finally learned what happened
00:52:11 I must apologize
00:52:17 ...I have caused you
00:52:19 I am, however, delighted
00:52:26 I very much want to see you
00:52:32 Today I intruded upon you and
00:52:39 ...cleaned your house
00:52:42 Please do not scold your daughters
00:52:46 I would like in the future
00:52:54 written in haste
00:52:55 To: Seibei Iguchi, Esq.
00:53:09 Tomoe started coming
00:53:15 The two of us looked forward
00:53:20 we're back!
00:53:22 Hello!
00:53:26 You know what the teacher
00:53:39 She cleaned with us
00:53:44 ...and taught us to cook
00:53:51 On rainy days we'd practice
00:53:56 And she'd tell us all kinds
00:54:00 ...we'd never heard before
00:54:04 Finished
00:54:08 Bring this line over
00:54:12 Finished!
00:54:13 That's good, Ito!
00:54:16 Hey! Stop it!
00:54:20 Ito! write on
00:54:24 No!
00:54:37 Don't you look nice!
00:54:42 How much fun it was to go off
00:54:46 ...she had made us
00:55:06 Shoo! Go away!
00:56:04 Samurai then were strictly
00:56:09 ...of the peasants
00:56:14 ...but Tomoe cared not a whit
00:56:18 I remember well what
00:56:21 It was because of the peasants
00:57:01 why are you catching them all?
00:57:05 You're trying too hard
00:57:12 Your shoulders are too stiff
00:57:16 Aw, stop lecturing!
00:57:19 Show me your rod
00:57:26 This hook's too big!
00:57:34 Seibei...
00:57:37 ...I want to talk to you
00:57:40 It's about Tomoe
00:57:44 She's had a few proposals
00:57:49 She's beautiful and talented
00:57:57 Any good ones?
00:58:00 She won't say yes
00:58:04 I asked her, half in jest
00:58:09 You what?!
00:58:11 we may be old friends
00:58:16 She didn't take it as a joke
00:58:20 She said she wouldn't mind...
00:58:25 ...and turned all red
00:58:32 That's enough!
00:58:40 You dolt!
00:58:43 She was serious
00:58:45 Stop it
00:58:51 Listen...
00:58:53 ...I've already put her through hell
00:59:02 If it's all right with you
00:59:10 It's a bit sudden...
00:59:20 I don't need an answer now
00:59:28 I might have to go to Edo
00:59:32 You've been really busy lately
00:59:35 You probably haven't heard
00:59:39 A month ago...
00:59:45 ...His Lordship's dead
00:59:48 He is?
00:59:51 why have they kept that
00:59:55 They're not agreed on
01:00:01 The Castle warden, Lord Hori
01:00:07 ...for permission to adopt
01:00:13 ...and seize control himself
01:00:16 If that happens the clan will split
01:00:20 I might not come through this
01:00:26 So if you could give me an answer
01:00:35 All right
01:00:39 I'll answer you
01:00:44 I'm very grateful to Tomoe for
01:00:51 ...all the cooking and sewing
01:00:56 It's like a dream come true
01:01:05 However...
01:01:08 ...having her come to my house
01:01:18 She's a daughter of the Iinumas
01:01:24 She doesn't know what life is like
01:01:30 Are you sure you're not
01:01:35 She's very much her own woman
01:01:39 It'd be fine at the start
01:01:43 But when it sunk in that 50-koku
01:01:48 ...she'd be sorry
01:01:54 My late wife was
01:01:59 Hers was a 150-koku family
01:02:03 She never got used to
01:02:09 Rise in the world, she told me
01:02:12 She said that all the time
01:02:17 I don't want to put Tomoe
01:02:33 Tomoe's not 15 or 16
01:02:38 I'm sure she'd thought about
01:02:43 No more
01:02:47 Let's forget this
01:02:53 Let's try up there
01:02:58 It's a girl!
01:03:08 what a stink!
01:03:17 Rise to Lord Buddha
01:03:21 Eat your fill in heaven!
01:03:25 Let's call it a day
01:03:35 From that day forward
01:03:37 ...to our house
01:03:44 Make way!
01:03:47 Stand aside!
01:03:49 Turning left!
01:04:01 The warden has returned!
01:04:24 Go!
01:04:35 what's that?!
01:04:37 It's the alarm!
01:04:48 Stop what you're doing and listen
01:04:51 I have important news
01:04:56 ...who returned
01:04:59 The 12th head of the Unasaka Clan
01:05:06 ...at the beginning of this month
01:05:08 He was 32 years old
01:05:13 He was a good and wise ruler
01:05:19 ...a true hero
01:05:23 Only last spring we had
01:05:27 ...and having him speak to us
01:05:32 Iguchi, you haven't
01:05:39 what a fine and gentle man
01:05:45 Senior retainers will
01:05:49 The rest of you are to leave and pray
01:06:08 This could mean open war!
01:06:11 I doubt that...
01:06:17 ...but Lord Hori's sure to go after
01:06:20 Dispositions'?
01:06:22 Yes
01:06:24 which side is
01:06:27 The reformers
01:06:30 He'll be with the mainstream
01:06:35 Just like me
01:06:42 while there were fearsome rumors
01:06:48 ...it didn't seem to involve
01:07:29 All right?
01:07:32 we wanted to ask Father
01:07:41 ...but for some reason
01:07:45 This was because even in
01:07:50 ...we knew something
01:07:58 Squire Iguchi!
01:08:04 I'm sorry you've come for nothing
01:08:10 I expect him in a day or two
01:08:16 Has he written anything about
01:08:21 No
01:08:22 There was a letter yesterday...
01:08:27 ...but all he talked about was what
01:08:32 That's good
01:08:35 I'm sure you know
01:08:41 Some people have even been
01:08:45 I was worried about what
01:08:51 I'm happy to hear he's all right
01:08:55 Give him my regards
01:08:59 You came just for that?
01:09:03 Yes
01:09:04 Good day
01:09:11 It was very kind of you
01:09:23 Carry on
01:09:27 where's Squire Iguchi?
01:09:28 He went away
01:09:33 where are you going?
01:09:35 Squire Iguchi may still be
01:09:39 why do you want to see him?
01:09:42 No reason in particular
01:09:46 I haven't seen him for a while
01:09:49 wait!
01:09:57 Tomoe...
01:09:59 ...it is unseemly for
01:10:03 ...with some samurai on the street
01:10:07 And you are a returned bride
01:10:10 You shouldn't be doing that
01:10:19 I've been meaning to tell you that
01:10:25 what's wrong with a girl
01:10:32 Are you questioning
01:10:35 Shouldn't I?
01:10:37 You should not
01:10:40 A young women
01:11:05 with 60 from last month
01:11:11 Could I have a receipt?
01:11:18 You know the bath fee went up
01:11:24 Prices are going up everywhere
01:11:29 Could you pay more
01:11:33 with things as unsettled
01:11:34 ...no one's buying insect cages
01:11:39 Could you ask your boss
01:11:44 well, I'll ask
01:11:47 I take this work
01:11:50 I understand that
01:11:52 If you'll excuse me
01:11:57 Come on
01:12:19 we're not thieves
01:12:21 we're just picking up some
01:12:28 Is he doing piece-work?
01:12:45 Hello!
01:12:47 Hello!
01:12:48 who is it?
01:12:52 Commissioner Kusaka
01:13:02 It's very late, I know
01:13:04 I'd like you to accompany me
01:13:09 Yes, sir
01:13:14 They said you don't need
01:13:18 Just a hakama skirt
01:13:36 So you're Iguchi's girl?
01:13:41 Five
01:13:44 You're a sweetheart
01:13:51 I'm ready
01:14:02 Kayano... you all get to bed
01:14:11 Let's sleep
01:14:33 Seibei Iguchi
01:14:35 That'll do
01:14:38 Iguchi, come over here
01:14:53 we called you here this late because
01:14:59 You know there was a revolt
01:15:04 Yes, sir
01:15:07 Fortunately no word of this
01:15:11 His Lordship ordered Shima Hasegawa
01:15:16 But one of Lord Hasegawa's men
01:15:21 ...says he was merely following
01:15:28 ...asks why he should be punished
01:15:32 If you want me dead
01:15:40 And with these disgraceful words
01:15:47 This evening we sent our Master
01:15:53 Zenemon Yogo! I come
01:16:01 But he died himself
01:16:15 He's a 'one-sword' fighter
01:16:19 No one in the clan
01:16:23 we were talking about who
01:16:27 ...and your name came up
01:16:32 Iguchi, raise your head
01:16:39 You're a 'short-sword' fighter
01:16:44 It's been years
01:16:46 I merely attended his dojo
01:16:52 we don't have time
01:16:56 we've learned that you were
01:17:02 He must be beaten inside his house
01:17:06 That is another reason
01:17:13 Kill Zenemon Yogo
01:17:20 That is an order from
01:17:29 Kusaka... what's this man's stipend?
01:17:33 50 koku
01:17:35 20 koku bespoken
01:17:39 That must be hard, with two young
01:17:45 Bring us the head
01:17:49 ...and life will be easier
01:17:51 Do you accept?
01:17:58 Answer him
01:18:01 This is an honor
01:18:05 You shut up!
01:18:07 well?
01:18:13 By your leave...
01:18:21 I am ashamed to say that
01:18:28 ...with two daughters, a sick wife
01:18:33 ...I have lost the desire
01:18:43 A serious fight
01:18:50 ...requires animal ferocity and
01:18:57 I have neither of those
01:19:03 Perhaps in a month...
01:19:10 ...alone with the beasts in the hills
01:19:13 But tomorrow, I am afraid
01:19:23 I ask that you extend
01:19:29 ...to another man
01:19:35 what complete
01:19:39 we are not here for foolishness
01:19:46 Your clan orders you
01:19:50 Do you understand that?!
01:19:53 The Clan's orders are
01:19:57 The very thought of refusal
01:20:00 You are relieved of your post!
01:20:05 Please, warden...
01:20:09 what do you say, Iguchi?
01:20:14 Of course he does!
01:20:16 Don't you!
01:20:19 May I request
01:20:24 ...in which to give my answer?
01:20:27 You may not!!
01:20:30 You will answer now!
01:21:03 I obey
01:21:08 I accept the commission...
01:21:13 ...to kill Zenemon Yogo
01:21:18 well said!
01:21:20 An officer will call
01:21:24 Have your preparations made
01:21:28 withdraw
01:21:54 Iguchi...
01:22:00 Don't worry. who's Zenemon
01:22:02 You're sure to win
01:22:05 I have decided exactly that
01:22:09 Good
01:22:10 One should, however
01:22:16 That's true. The worst
01:22:20 In that event, Commissioner
01:22:29 Thank you for everything
01:22:35 Please convey my regards
01:22:41 I understand. And, uh...
01:22:43 ...I'll take responsibility for
01:22:50 I'll see they are looked after
01:22:57 That's a relief to hear
01:23:02 All the best to you
01:24:59 A strange noise made me
01:25:05 Looking for the sound, I saw
01:25:12 He looked so strange it was hard
01:25:21 I still remember clearly
01:27:04 The Heart Sutra:
01:27:11 The bodhisattva clearly saw
01:27:15 ...thus relieving misfortune and pain
01:27:23 Form is only emptiness
01:27:32 we're going
01:27:35 Kayano!
01:27:41 The Master said: A man cunning
01:27:45 ...is rarely benevolent
01:28:02 Naota, do something for me
01:28:05 Yup
01:28:06 You know Miss Tomoe's house
01:28:12 Yup
01:28:14 Go there, and speak to
01:28:18 Now, this is important
01:28:21 You have to see
01:28:25 And then say...
01:28:28 ...'I'm really very sorry, but
01:28:33 I'll explain why
01:28:38 All right?
01:28:41 I'm really very sorry...
01:28:45 ...but could you come
01:28:49 I'll explain why...
01:28:51 Uh, I'll explain why...
01:28:53 I'll explain why
01:28:57 when you get here
01:29:01 That's fine. Hurry
01:29:15 Look where she laid her egg!
01:29:22 Could you come...
01:29:27 I'll explain why
01:29:34 Whatever's the matter
01:29:39 I'm really very sorry...
01:29:43 ...but could you come
01:29:47 when you get here... uh...
01:29:53 He'll explain why?
01:29:55 Squire Seibei sent you
01:29:59 All right. I'll get ready
01:30:31 I didn't think you'd come
01:30:52 The clan has ordered me
01:30:57 ...another retainer
01:31:03 I'm going out under orders
01:31:09 ...and I can't do my hair alone
01:31:12 I'm in a bind
01:31:18 If you can spare the time
01:31:23 when do you have to go?
01:31:26 The hour of the snake
01:31:29 There's not much time
01:31:33 where's your kimono?
01:31:34 It's laid out over there
01:31:40 Naota, boil some water
01:32:23 who's coming for you?
01:32:26 A clan officer
01:32:30 Naota, will you wait
01:32:37 Sit down. I'll comb your hair
01:33:00 May I ask why...
01:33:06 ...you're going out to fight?
01:33:14 I can't refuse a clan order
01:33:19 Petty I may be
01:33:47 Bamboo baskets, hampers!
01:33:53 Bamboo baskets, hampers!
01:35:08 Your elder brother...
01:35:15 ...asked if I would
01:35:20 I refused
01:35:23 Did you know that?
01:35:29 Yes, I did
01:35:32 But...
01:35:36 But since that day...
01:35:39 ...when I told him no...
01:35:43 ...I've started thinking
01:35:55 Now I think of it
01:36:03 ...and I made dolls
01:36:07 ...I always dreamed one day
01:36:16 That dream stayed with me
01:36:24 ...and you married Koda
01:36:29 It's never faded
01:36:39 I'm going out now
01:36:46 I'm going to win
01:36:51 At that time, if I were
01:36:57 ...to be my wife...
01:37:02 ...would you accept?
01:37:12 A few days ago I had
01:37:18 ...from a retainer in Aizu
01:37:21 I accepted.
01:37:38 I've been very rude
01:37:43 I should never have asked you
01:37:50 No
01:37:52 I'm happy that you asked me
01:38:08 I've been a fool
01:38:14 Please forget everything
01:38:23 Really? A retainer from Aizu...
01:38:30 That sounds like
01:38:45 Are they here?
01:38:46 Yup
01:38:49 well, I'll be going
01:38:56 Thank you very much
01:39:02 Um...
01:39:06 ...I'm afraid I can't wait here
01:39:13 I pray with all my heart...
01:39:22 ...that luck is with you
01:39:46 Naota, see Miss Tomoe home
01:39:52 Take care of the kids
01:40:56 Mrs Iguchi...
01:40:59 ...how are you today?
01:41:03 Fine, thank you
01:41:08 Of which household
01:41:14 Me?
01:41:18 I am...
01:41:22 ...Squire Seibei's
01:41:29 ...Tomoe
01:41:46 Sir...
01:41:55 Squire Iguchi?
01:42:01 Zenemon Yogo has closed himself in
01:42:10 That is Genba Hattori
01:42:14 we should remove
01:42:17 ...but no one can get in
01:42:22 Take care
01:42:26 Zenemon Yogo is no longer human
01:42:46 Leave to enter!
01:43:22 Sir Twilight...
01:43:39 So they sent you?
01:43:46 Zenemon Yogo... by order of
01:43:55 Draw your sword, please
01:44:13 Have a drink?
01:44:17 I know you're all keyed up
01:44:22 Run?
01:44:24 Yep
01:44:26 I want you let me get away
01:44:39 I didn't expect that from the clan's
01:44:45 My orders are to kill you
01:44:53 Don't be so impatient
01:44:59 I'd like to talk to you
01:45:03 Have a seat
01:45:11 It's a nice day
01:45:16 Sit down
01:45:36 what's going on?
01:45:37 They're talking
01:45:47 Even if you escaped
01:45:52 Over that mountain and I'm out
01:45:58 There are masterless samurai
01:46:01 I can lose myself in them
01:46:06 If I do that for a few years...
01:46:08 ...the world will have changed
01:46:13 The samurai's day is done
01:46:16 This isn't the time
01:46:19 Pick up your sword, please
01:46:25 I am under orders
01:46:28 Like hell!
01:46:33 You're the clan's errand boy
01:46:41 Have a drink
01:47:01 I served Lord Shigemasa Toki
01:47:05 Twelve years ago he was ordered
01:47:11 ...after a power struggle
01:47:15 Then I wandered for seven years
01:47:19 ...in search of a new situation
01:47:26 Seven?
01:47:28 with no income?
01:47:32 Of course not
01:47:34 I did manual labor and helped
01:47:40 ...to get a little rice
01:47:43 Or we'd slink into a temple
01:47:49 Three years ago the Unasaka clan
01:47:55 ...but by then hardship
01:48:02 I'm good with a sword
01:48:09 ...and I can't hold my liquor
01:48:16 But this time I promised myself
01:48:19 I would do my duty
01:48:22 I worked hard to do that
01:48:28 My superior was
01:48:33 He liked me, and did
01:48:38 To me...
01:48:41 ...the tasks he assigned were
01:48:46 His orders were the clan's orders
01:48:53 what was wrong with that
01:48:56 why do I have to
01:49:03 I haven't come here
01:49:05 ...that kind of question
01:49:15 I heard your wife died
01:49:23 I'm surprised you know that
01:49:25 And her fever went up
01:49:30 Yes
01:49:33 Consumption is a hard disease
01:49:40 My daughter died of consumption
01:49:46 You're not the only one
01:49:50 How old was your daughter?
01:49:54 Sixteen
01:50:02 when she should have been
01:50:07 ...she died...
01:50:12 ...nothing but skin and bones
01:50:19 I'm very sorry to hear that
01:50:22 Her ashes
01:50:29 She was a pretty girl
01:50:44 I guess Lord Hasegawa
01:50:49 He gave me money for a funeral
01:50:56 If only for that...
01:50:59 ...I'm very much in
01:51:09 what's your stipend?
01:51:14 50 koku
01:51:18 A sick wife, and children
01:51:24 That must be hard
01:51:32 Doctor and medicine alone cost
01:51:42 Piece work wouldn't cover that
01:51:46 I borrowed from relatives
01:51:51 Sometimes we didn't even have
01:51:56 I know how bad it feels to see
01:52:03 You've had hard times, too
01:52:06 where I really ran into trouble
01:52:12 The family's main branch wanted
01:52:18 I couldn't afford it
01:52:21 I was desperate
01:52:27 It was a fine sword
01:52:35 ...but I figured
01:52:45 I'm afraid this is just bamboo
01:52:57 You're going to kill me
01:53:04 No
01:53:06 I learned short-sword
01:53:11 I meant to fight with that
01:53:16 Short-sword?
01:53:19 You mean to kill me
01:53:25 You're not taking me seriously
01:53:30 wait!
01:53:31 I won't have it!
01:53:34 I only told you that because
01:53:42 Draw!
01:53:49 Sir!
01:54:14 You're very good...
01:54:18 If you want to run
01:54:25 After I kill you
01:54:31 Draw!
01:54:35 Sir! There's still time
01:54:49 Calm down and think!
01:54:52 You haven't rested
01:54:55 You're already breathing hard
01:55:00 You mock me
01:55:12 Sir! Continue this
01:55:18 Is that what you want?
01:55:21 That's fine by me
01:55:26 Draw
01:55:58 You've cut me, Twilight
01:57:10 This is what you get
01:57:46 Have a seat
01:58:05 will you let me go
01:58:13 That was...
01:58:17 ...my intention
01:58:40 It's dark
01:58:50 I can't see
01:58:59 Hell
01:59:19 Twilight...
01:59:54 Is it over?
02:00:00 It's all yours
02:00:08 Careful!
02:00:16 He's dead!
02:00:49 Ito...
02:00:53 Go buy some tofu
02:00:59 Don't lose the money
02:01:09 Miss Kayano!
02:01:11 It's the Master!
02:01:24 Ito...
02:01:27 ...I'm home
02:01:49 Miss Tomoe! Father's back!
02:02:28 You're still here...
02:02:40 Thank heaven!
02:02:43 I was sure...
02:02:46 ...you were dead!
02:03:01 Finally Miss Tomoe
02:03:06 My father was happy
02:03:13 But peace prevailed in our house
02:03:23 with the Meiji Restoration
02:03:27 Our clan supported
02:03:31 ...and fought as rebels
02:03:38 During this 'Boshin war'.
02:03:41 ...my father was shot
02:04:09 Tomoe took us, her step-daughters
02:04:16 ...and supported us
02:04:22 Now she sleeps with my father
02:04:31 In the new Meiji era, many men
02:04:38 ...rose to positions
02:04:43 I often heard them say...
02:04:46 ...that 'Twilight Seibei
02:04:51 But I do not agree
02:04:58 My father had no desire
02:05:04 ...and I don't think
02:05:10 He loved his daughters...
02:05:14 ...and the beautiful Tomoe
02:05:18 His life, I think
02:05:27 I am proud to have had
