"The owner is not at home right now." "Yes, yes..." "Well...a bamboo dragonfly?" "Yes." "I used to make them a lot when I was a kid." "I loved the sound of its wings." "The sound of its wings makes you feel comfortable." "Ama-san (Masseur)." "Well, I need your service." "Oh." "Are you a client?" "Excuse me." "It's so hot." "I hope it's not bothering you." "Oh, that's no trouble at all." "This is my work." "Then, where should I go?" "A palanquin is waiting for you outside." "What...?" "It's too hot to walk outside at this time." "Oh, I don't mind." "I'm on the road all the time." "I can take heat or freezing weather." "I see." "But I appreciate your kindness anyway." "So, please..." "This way." ""Autumn dew.. "" ""Reflection of the colors.. " "Red leaves.. "" ""On the mountain. "" "This is your mother's favorite." "So, I wanted to put it on the wall." "It's always a pleasure to read this poem." "Yes." "I'm so glad that we've carried out Mother's 7th memorial peacefully." "Well..." "Your mother is very happy in heaven to see you at this house." "Last night, I could hear coughing from your room." "Was I?" "Please take good care of yourself." "Oh, don't worry." "Mother was such a great tea master." "What was her secret?" "Well..." "Please try my tea once." "This is excellent." "Oh." "Well..." "Whose mansion is this?" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Massage is my job." "Please don't." "This is Nui." "My lady, the masseur is here." "Please." "Yes, yes." "Here." "Thank you." "Go ahead." "Yes." "Well, I'll start now." "Oh, your muscles are very tight..." "Don't talk too much." "Yes." "Well, this is bad." "I'll be more careful." "Kaoru is having a massage right now, isn't she?" "Yes, she is." "Ichi is his name." "He's the one I found last night." "Are you sure about him?" "He's a stranger after all." "Well, I thought it might be better to have a stranger." "I don't want people to have any gossip about our lady." "Well, maybe you're right." "Yes." "Oh, you should bring those to the government for inspection." "Yes." "Kaoru is such a stubborn woman." "She is a fine lady." "She has to carry such a burden." "The hips." "Yes." "Well, thank you very much." "Ichi-san, what are you doing?" "Yes, yes." "Ichi-san, this is your payment." "Please." "Oh, no, no." "I've been paid enough already." "Oh no." "This is your first payment." "Thank you." "Are you alright?" "This is too much." "Oh, no!" "This is from our master." "Well, thank you very much." "Please go ahead." "Thank you." "I think she feels much better now." "Yes." "Oh, Ichi-san!" "Yes?" "Your tobacco." "Please come back!" "Ichi-san!" "Well, his fingers were incredible." "You look so fine now." "Do I?" "Who is he?" "A traveling masseur." "A drifter?" "His name is Ichi." "Ichi..." "His fingers were like stone and his face was mean looking." "Were you watching us?" "No, I glanced at him a little when he left." "Nui." "Yes." "Your kimono is too plain." "Yes." "You look better with brighter ones." "At the castle, I'll pick one for you from my wardrobe." "Really?" "Thank you so very much!" "I think I can sleep better tonight." "Last night was too humid." "You're from a samurai family, aren't you?" "Yes." "I was your age when I became our lord's concubine." "You're a very lucky woman, my lady." "You need some money to take care of the things around you." "Thank you very much." "Well..." "I gave instructions to Nui-san about the gifts to our lord." "Yes." "What a burden for you." "What are you saying?" "It was my decision." "Well..." "Please take good care of yourself." "Yes." "This medicine is famous and supposed to work very well." "Please take it every day." "Yes, I know." "I felt so relaxed at home." "Go!" ""Echizen-ya"" "I heard that Lady Kaoru came back from the castle." "Yes." "I saw her procession back to the castle on my way here." "What a wonderful thing." "Yes it is." "Very good, very good." "Thank you." "Echizen-san is so proud of her, isn't he?" "His business does great." "Thank you very much." "Masseur!" "Please come here!" "Ichi-san?" "Oh, you're the clerk?" "We need you." "Thank you very much." "I haven't shaved my beard yet tonight." "Here is a palanquin." "Yes." "I always told you to handle those kinds of matters." "Yes..." "But this is different than ordinary matters." "I don't know what to do." "I guess they're not punks who want money." "I'm so sorry." "Would you please take care of this one matter, master?" "Besides, the masseur we hired the other day is with them." "The masseur?" "Yes." "Why is he here with these ronin?" "Well..." "I thought it was strange, too." "What's the matter with you?" "Well..." "I am Echizen-ya Toemon." "We apologize for visiting you so late at night." "We came because we thought it was a very important matter for you." "Thank you for your consideration." "You're in big trouble." "Well, who are you?" "You have a fine daughter." "I heard that you're very rich and have a huge mansion." "But this is more than I imagined." "Thank you very much." "Please let us know what the problem is." "Well... well..." "You should not be in a hurry to solve this kind of matter." "But if you don't tell us..." "Shut up!" "I'll take care of this." "Please tell us more." "Masseur." "Yes." "This isn't your first time here, is it?" "Yes." "You came here to treat his daughter, didn't you?" "Yes." "Let us know what happened." "What happened?" "I'm asking you about that." "Oh, well, I see, about that..." "Yes, her muscles were very tight, so I pushed her shoulders from the top down." "After that!" "Since you can't answer us, we assume the answer is yes." "Well, as you're her father, you should know what she did that day." "Perhaps you already know about it." "She slept with this dirty masseur." "This dirty masseur!" "Impossible..." "It can't be true..." "It is so disgraceful." "Why don't you tell us the truth?" "Otherwise, you'll regret it." "Be honest." "People make mistakes once in a while." "Hey, you!" "You'll be executed if they find out about this." "It can't be true!" "Shut up!" "Masseur, answer me." "I don't know what to say." "So, she did..." "If I say she did, then what will happen?" "It's none of your business." "Well..." "Then if I say she didn't, you're a bunch of liars." "Oh, you're so calm about this." "Masseur." "The whole thing is not true, is it?" "I don't know what to say to you." "Why don't you take a string from the ball?" "From this ball?" "That was Miss Nui's ball." "Nui..?" "Yes." "Master, what is it?" "I see." "This is serious trouble." "Finally, you understand this." "Then?" "We need 1,000 ryo." "1,000 ryo!" "I hope you know that we're different from ordinary criminals." "Different, how..?" "We have a cause!" "We need it for our cause." "Cause?" "That's right!" "You've probably heard of it by now." "Yes!" "I understand." "Hey..." "Well..." "May I ask you something?" "What?" "What is meant by your cause?" "A cause is a cause!" "What is your cause?" "It's none of your business." "I guess "cause" means 1,000 ryo." "What?" "If we can fix the problem with money, it's worth it." "I don't care." "I can lose my business, Echizen-ya." "Thank you for waiting." "Here is the 1,000 ryo." "However," "I'm the merchant, Echizen-ya Toemon." "I can't just give you 1,000 ryo for free." "What do you want?" "This is our business contract." "What?" "Please introduce yourself by name." "We merchants never conduct business with nameless people." "What'll you do with it?" "I'll keep it to myself, that's all." "Well, I'll be happy to contribute my 1,000 ryo to your cause." "Former Dai-Shoji-Group, Kanemitsu Hachiro, and four other members." "Well, please go on home." "Masseur, also." "This masseur is our savior." "Hey, why don't you join up with our party?" "She was great, wasn't she?" "Yes, must have been." "But it's so nice to be a masseur." "What will we do with you?" "Hey, stop here." "Hey, masseur, you've had a great time." "Hey, Takihara!" "Give me your sword." "You won't feel anything." "I see." "Bend your head down." "Can I give my last words?" "Very well, I'll listen to you." "You could have 1,000 ryo, but you couldn't have human souls." "Is that all?" "Take care of yourself." "Hey, what's wrong?" "I don't know." "You...." "Who are you...?" "I'm nothing..." "You...you killed all five men?" "You got back the 1,000 ryo?" "Yes." "Master!" "Here's the 1,000 ryo!" "Ichi-san is your name?" "Thank you very much." "You're welcome." "What crap it is...." "Master..." "Your daughter was a very kind person," "like the Goddess of Mercy." "Well..." "I'll be leaving now." "Ichi-san!" "Yes." "This is not much, but my appreciation to you." "Oh no, no." "Please don't." "TO BE CONTINUED" "Music:" "MURAI Kunihiko" "Produced by:" "KATSU PRODUCTIONS and FUJI TELEVISION"
