"Before, when I lived in my home town." "There was an acupuncturist called Soetsu." "After the death of his wife" "He lived with his two daughters" "He saved his money little by little" "Eventually, he became a money lender" "One snowy night before New Year" "he went to Shinzaemon's house to collect debts" "Shinzaemon owed the money lender 30 taels of gold." "With 3 years of interest." "The total amount was 65 taels of gold." "I won't pay means I won't pay!" "Pay me half the amount or I will not leave" "The money is to prepare for my daughters to celebrate the New Year..." "What a coincidence, I don't have any money for rice!" "But you have money for wine" "Shut up!" "I've never been insulted by an acupuncturist before" "You've borrowed and yet don't pay, that's unreasonable" "If you don't pay today, when are you going to pay?" "Be careful what you say, I could kill you" "So you are saying, not only you won't pay, but you want to kill me?" "You're insolent!" "Then Shinzaemon almost chopped off his head" "Soetsu was crawling on the ground outside when he saw something it was a sickle lying in the snow" "You want to retaliate?" "What has Soetsu done wrong?" "Kicking at Soetsu as he lay on the ground he slashed him again" "Shimzaemon!" "I hate you" "Shinzi" "Shinzi..." "Shinzi" "Not far from here there's a river where a woman called Lay was murdered by her husband" "From that day on, those who died there would never float to the surface again" "A horrible thought" "Shinzaemon didn't want his deeds exposed" "Soetsu's body was thrown into the river God help us" "Sister" "The two newly orphaned daughters looked everywhere for their father" "Father" "Your father Soetsu is no longer in this world..." "From that day on, Shizaemon's family had continuous misfortune" "Finally, Shimzaemon went mad" "He killed his wife and then committed suicide" "His house was abandoned" "Shinzi" "Look for the last time" "This is the beginning of Kaidan..." "KAIDAN" "Director:" "Hideo Nakata" "25 years later" " Jianhu, Tokio" "Uncle, I'm going" "Okay, be careful" "Tobacco" "Tobacco" "Shinzi, how are you?" "Okay" "Tobacco" "One more time" "Wrong" "Try again" "heart.." "heart ...heart" "Okay, one more time" "But.." "It's really cold" "Tobacco" "Tobacco" "Do you want tobacco?" "Um.. maybe next time" "I.." "Actually I've changed my mind" "Soetsu's daughter Toyoshiga" "Shinzaemon's son Shinzi" "Even though they are not aware how their pasts are linked, they are drawn together by fate" "Please..." "The lives of these two people are intertwined" "Shinzi it smells good" "You don't have to buy from anywhere else now" "The taste is great too" "Thank you." "Please buy from me from now on" "It's very crowded in here" "Please can I have some too" "You can give her the whole box" "What are you saying..." "It's called being generous." "I'll treat you to some" "Don't talk nonsense" "I'm going to the bath" "But it's raining" "It's okay, it will be quieter" "Walk carefully" "Oh" "I'm sheltering from the rain" "Well don't just stand there, come inside" "Teacher, are you going out?" "If the tobacco gets wet it will be ruined" "I don't want to trouble you" "You're troubling me by standing there in the rain" "Come" "You are so stubborn" "Look it's snowing" "I have to get going now" "Happy New Year" "Happy New Year" "Happy New Year" "Happy New Year" "You have to work hard on your studies this year" "Yes" "It's been 3 years right?" "But Teacher" "I want to improve and raise my standard" "This is a good instrument" "Fool!" "You can't just say that, even though there is no improvement at all" "Right!" "I haven't seen Shinzi around lately?" "We haven't seen him either" "Yes" "There isn't one bit of improvement" "If he isn't sick then it's okay" "Right" "Teacher" "The weather's terrible" "I can't do any business" "I haven't seen you around lately?" "No" "Everyone is asking about you" "I'm still the same" "That's good" "It seems the snow falls every time we meet" "I don't think it's going to stop today" "It will stop before sunset" "It won't snow again, come.." "It's not far to my house, come on..." "No" "The snow is piling up" "Yes" "Don't sit over there, come closer to the fire" "This will be the last time I see you" "Thanks to your advice my business is doing well but... this has to end" "Has anyone said anything?" "If I come here again, it is sure to invite rumours" "Why?" "They would say I'm coming here to meet you" "I fell in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you" "I've been thinking about you ever since" "The more I try to control myself The more I want to see you" "What are you saying?" "We are like mother and son" "I like older men and they have to be tall" "I don't like..." "Lately, I have met such immature men..." "I knew you wouldn't like me from the start" "There's someone you like?" "No" "You still need to grow up" "Just give me one night like this" "I am very lonely" "The sky has cleared" "You can go back now" "Sooner or later, you'll disappear, right?" "Teacher" "My father disappeared on a snowy night" "Actually, it was the next morning" "My younger sister and I went to look for him" "In the afternoon, when the snow started to melt" "Before we knew it we were up to our necks in mud" "How are you?" "Are you alright?" "Sister?" "Sister, I'm coming in" "I'm wearing the kimono you gave me" "Sister" "Ah you're here" "Are you okay?" "Let's go" "I don't understand?" "What is that greenhorn Shinzi doing with Teacher?" "Shinzi must be overjoyed!" "It's really shocking!" "I'd like the teacher to take care of me Really?" "It wouldn't be good to be drained of your energy" "Would you like one?" "Stop!" "What are you thinking about?" "Erm.." "One more time, from the top" "From now on, don't talk back to me in front of people I didn't" "Don't answer back" "How much do you want me to lose face, before you're satisfied?" "Um..." "Remember your place" "If you feel like that, you don't have to come here, it's fine" "I didn't ask you to come here" "But I want to learn from you Teacher" "My mother asked me to go somewhere else.." "It's because you're good, that's why she let me come here" "But the situation has changed lately..." "What do you want me to do?" "I have no reason to let your mother talk nonsense" "You go somewhere else then" "But I..." "Go to the place your mother likes, it's fine" "Troublesome" "Osa" "Quick, get out!" "Teacher" "You can go if you like" "But she came especially" "Come back next time" "I'm not in a good mood today" "All I want to do is sing" "If I go home, I'll be scolded by my stepmother" "Not getting along well?" "Come again another time" "I dreamt of father again" "Always the same thing" "It has to be Toyoshida who will be punished by Heaven" "I don't care" "He's the one who abandoned us" "Sister" "I don't want you to continue with Shinzi" "You know it won't last, but yet you still carry on" "Forget him." "Let's go back to our hometown" "I know you will be lonely, but if you break it off with him..." "I won't break it off with him" "I won't break it off" "Get out!" "No matter what, it's good to have Shinzi at my side" "Get out of here!" "If you want to go back, go alone!" "Sister!" "I don't want to see you again" "Sister" "Listen to me, sister" "What are the two of you doing?" "Stop it!" "Are you alright?" "Sorry" "I won't come here again" "Please take care of my sister" "Sano" "Take care" "Don't quarrel anymore" "You only have one sister and you're also very suspicious of your students" "Let them continue with their study" "Why are you siding with Osa?" "Her mother is her step-mother, that is already difficult enough for her and yet she still keeps a smile on her face, isn't that incredible?" "We are totally different" "Teacher, something's not right with you" "I've be troubling you for too long." "I'm going back to my uncle's house" "No, it's okay if there aren't any students" "I can't live without you" "Don't be like this" "It's not good for you" "I won't let you go anywhere" "I can't live without you" "I beg you" "I think we should break up" "No!" "Teacher!" "It looks bad" "Is it painful?" "Ah..." "Shinzi?" "It's not so bad" "I'm so sorry" "It's me who's sorry to let your beautiful face be scared" "No" "What is it with me?" "A sharp tongue, always reprimanding people and regretting it afterwards" "What is it with me?" "I love you Shinzi" "What should I do?" "I feel so awful" "How I wish we'd never met!" "I won't let you go" "I'm an average man without any good traits" "You're not in the wrong it's me who's not good enough for you a woman who always has my interests at heart, who stays by my side" "Shinzi" "is it true?" "it's true" "I will remember that" "I will never forget it" "Teacher" "it's badly swollen if it continues to swell, we'll have to cut it to let the fluid out" "Shinzi" "Don't leave me alone" "Shinzi" "I've had a bad dream" "My ears...my ears were rotting and they fell off" "It's only a dream" "Shinzi" "Bite me" "Bite me, or else..." "Something is not right in my head" "Harder" "It's not good for you" "When you're healed Everything will be alright" "I cannot be healed" "What are you saying?" "Think about it, if you were in my shoes" "I know." "I... know that there's no hope" "I understand perfectly well" "I'm going out to get some fresh air" "Let's go and see the fireworks by the river?" "Not with my face like this!" "We can't go out together" "You go back first okay" "Shinzi!" "Shinzi, did you come to see the fireworks?" "No, I came to buy medicine for the Teacher" "How is she?" "Not so good." "Still lying in bed." "Can I visit her?" "You'd better not." "She'll get angry if she sees a woman" "Oh" "Goodbye then" "Please come this way" "Please, take your time" "I've been thinking about why I wanted to see you again" "Me?" "I want to leave home and?" "I've written to my Uncle in Yusan" "I'm not getting along with my step-mother" "I asked if I could stay there" "Uncle wrote back and said that I can come immediately" "Yusan huh?" "That's very far away" "We won't be able to see each other again" "Oh yes we will" "I was born in Yusan" "Although I can't really remember it now" "Do you know why Teacher is so cold towards me?" "It's jealousy because you're so beautiful" "Is that what she thinks?" "My... my feelings" "I think I'll take you to Yusan" "If you're not around, who's will take care of Teacher?" "It's because you think that Teacher is beautiful" "That's why you take care of her" "And there is no other woman besides her" "And there's no woman that could cause me as much trouble as she has" "Why don't you give me some of your courage" "If I had such courage..." "I..." "I am weak" "No matter how much my stepmother beats me" "If I cry then I have to admit defeat." "That's why I control myself" "I never want to go back to that house" "Not even for one day" "I'm coming to Yusan with you" "If it continues, my relationship with teacher wouldn't work out" "Ah!" "Shinzi...ah..." "Ah!" "Shinzi, what are you doing?" "Why are you leaving when the Teacher is sick?" "Hey!" "Shinzi!" " What are you doing with that?" " I'm going to sell it." " What?" " I'm leaving Jianhu." " What about Teacher?" " I need that money I'll sort it out later." "Stop fooling around!" "She treats you like a husband and loves you unconditionally" "Provides for your every need" "Everybody calling you Shinzi, Shinzi and for what?" "She's been waiting for you" "Why did you come?" "I thought you hated me and left" "Teacher, please forgive him" "He's still young and not able to control himself but you said, if he listens to you..." "Shinzi" "It doesn't matter where you go" "it's just that I can't die in the water" "There's no reason to say that as long as you take care of your health" "She's not feeling well, be more careful" "Yes" "Wait a while" "Yes" "Who is it?" "Is Shinzi in?" "Shinzi, I've been looking for you for ages" "What is it?" "It's teacher...she... she's dead" "Don't joke with me" "We're just making the final preparations" "Go back quick!" "Shinzi" "Where are you going?" "It's Teacher, she.." "Shinzi" "I found this beside Teacher" "If you should find a wife in the future" "I will make sure she is killed" "If you marry later on" "I will surely kill your bride" "I thought you'd gone to Yusan" "I'm so sorry about Teacher" "At that time, if I had stayed" "I was the one who should have stayed" "Osa" "Are you still going to Yusan?" "Let's go together" "You've made me cry again" "I thought our time together was over" "It's not over yet" "Take me away" "I beg you, take me away" " Are you okay?" " Yes." "If the rain continues we'll have to find a place to stay" "There's sure to be somewhere, after we cross the river" "I don't think the rain will stop until morning" "Shall we go back to the inn?" "We left in such a hurry we didn't eat anything" "Someone is following us" "Who?" "No one's following us" "Look" "It's coming" "Osa!" "Don't look!" "It's hurts" "This stupid thing!" "Will I die?" "What are you saying!" "?" "Will I die if it continues to bleed like this?" "If I die then you can be with someone else" "Osa, why are you saying such things" "Why do you have such a handsome face" "It's just normal and you're so gentle" "Then, what should I do?" "Please calm down?" "You abandoned me" "I have been abandoned" "Let go of me" "Let me go" "Osa!" "Come here for a minute" "Yes" "How is he?" "He's resting" "Oh?" "He fainted from starvation on the road" "We found him there" "Could it have been a robber?" "Perhaps" "He was strangled" "Until now, he hasn't been able to swallow anything" "Very strange!" "Shenchuan's niece just arrived" "Anyway, we shouldn't frighten her" "Miss, leave that to me" "It's okay" "I'm sorry" "Why do you want to save someone you don't know?" "If anyone's in trouble, shouldn't we help each other?" " Thank you for handling the account." " Yes." " Can you inform the village chief?" " Yes." "What's the matter?" "It's not good." "At the river, Osa..." "Please" "We don't want you to worry" "Please" "Miss, is it convenient now?" "Boss, give me some tea" "Sano, get some tea Okay, coming" "Thank you very much" "Give me some wine Yes" "There going to set sail soon" "Excuse me, can I have a ride?" "Get on board quickly" "Shinzi" "What are you doing in Yusan?" "Your sister has died." "I'm sorry" "My sister was very happy to be with you" "She loves you from the bottom of her heart" "I loved her too" "From the bottom of my heart" "It was such a coincidence that Sano saw Shinzi at the river mouth" "Shinzi decided to stay in Yusan" "Shinzi, rest a while okay" "You would like this" "It's very pretty" "Shinzi" "Come here for a while" "You're here" "Thank you for taking care of me the other day" "Our young mistress is looking for you" "What is it?" "You're not going to stay here?" "My daughter wants to.." "to be by your side" "This is what I call fate" "Will you fulfill our wishes?" "I don't even know where I came from" "I'm really grateful but..." "I can't do it" "Please accept my daughter's request" "I can't accept" "Furi" "Furi" "Please forgive me" "You've already made your decisión" "In Shenchuan, I have a woman who's like a wife to me even though she's not here with me our fates will always be entwined" "You can't forget your lover, even though she is dead?" "I did everything I could to cure her, but yet she still left me" "Furi" " Furi!" " Furi, Furi!" "Bring some water" "Come, men!" "Why is it like this?" "It is my retribution for I do not know where I stand" "Let me" "Shinzi took care of Furi, but the connection between him and Teacher cannot be broken" "The injuries on Furi's face are a sign that their fate has not ended" "Shinzi has decided to marry Furi" "Shinzi has forgotten his punishment" "He thinks that Furi's beauty is equal to that of Teacher" "Furi is very happy with her marriage to Shinzi" "It was not long before Furi found herself pregnant" "This child will be the source of trouble" "Such a good baby" "I thought he would be frightened and cry" "He must be a very strong child and he is so heavy" "Yes, mother-in-law" "You're awake?" "Are you feeling unwell?" "You're always like this nowadays" "It's not me, it's him!" "I've never seen such a quiet child" "He's a healthy baby" "After drinking his milk, he sleeps soundly" "He hasn't even cried once?" "He doesn't even cry when he's hungry" "Look at his eyelashes, so long and beautiful" "When he grows up, he will look just like you" "If he won't cry when he's frightened, let's see if he'll cry if we beat him" "If he still won't cry, then he's definitely not normal" "You said not normal..." "It's too much!" "You're not eating Ikki?" "Young master" "You don't look too good" "Want me to take you somewhere to have fun?" "Ikki, Sange, let's go" "Rub your bum" "Rub.." "Rub.." "Sorry to keep you waiting" "Hey, bring the wine over" "Bring all of it" "Young master, let's make a toast" "Toast" "Drink with me Drink with me" "I'm here" "Just like that and you look so fresh Are you from Jianhu?" "Aren't you satisfied with me?" "No such thing!" "Then I'll start playing" "She's really not that bad" "Below Komonwa's house is Wusi" "Komonwa?" "but you can't go" "You're of low status" "Young master, wake up" "If Yire's son-in-law isn't home by dawn, there'll be trouble" "Get up now" "I was watching you just now" "You came back.." "Have a good rest" "You have brought in some unreliable people" "What do you think?" "Are you refering to Shinzi?" "After having a son, he's always going out" "He's from Jianhu" "Living in a small village he'll always feel restricted" "Young Master, are you going out?" "Yes" "Can you come with me for a while?" "Please go back" "Please go back..." "Where are you taking me?" "What is it?" "I think you must be very bored" "I'm very lonely here" "Are you saying you miss your home town?" "I would still prefer to live in a more lively place" "With lighted street lamps and crowded places" "Shinzi" "Can you loan me some money?" "I want to leave but I need money, right?" "I've given you all the money you deserve" "My husband's ashes are mine" "That's what everyone does" "If you think you're going to blackmail me, you've got the wrong person" "Such a heavy downpour" "Using the sickle like that gave people a fright" "Are you saying I'm a murderer?" "Give me 100 taels of gold and the sickle is yours" "If this all goes away - wouldn't that be cheap?" "I won't listen to any more of this!" "I asked some people in the shop where you were" "What happened?" "Please speak" "What?" "You..." "You've wronged your first wife in so many ways" "That's why Shimo and I are like this" "You are boring me!" "Don't look at me" "Hey, what are you doing?" "Such a child" "Please don't be like this." "No!" "Please don't be like this!" "Go to hell!" "How can a father treat a baby like this?" "Get out!" "It's my fault." "I..." "This man is your husband and you allow him to go to wherever he pleases" "What's wrong with that?" "Shinzi, if you let Furi suffer again" "I have ways to deal with you!" "Jiwaza is" "What should I do with this thing?" "Put it on the 2nd level of that rack" "Yes" "Master, this letter's from Jianhu" "Okay" "Ah..." "Shinzi" "What do you intend to do?" "I don't have any answers yet" "I've told you before, I don't want anything to do with you" "In this situation you're still saying these things" "A murdered person won't come back to life" "Why don't you kill me as well?" "What's the difference if you kill one or two?" "Okay, I'll wait for you tonight" "Looks like it's not enough" "Give me the sickle" "I told you I want 100 taels of gold" "You won't give it to me!" "?" "I told you I want 100 taels of gold!" "I'll put the rest of it on the account" "If my husband were to die you'll be the owner of that shop won't you?" "I'll keep it all in my accounts" "You bastard!" "After what you did to my daughter, you have the nerve to steel my gold!" "How much more do you want to take from me!" "?" "No one would cry if I killed you now" "Ah.." "Bastard!" "Go to hell!" "Bastard!" "Get away from here!" "Don't come near me anymore" "Not thrilling enough!" "From today onwards" "I want you to support me" "How long do you want me to suffer?" "Is this not enough?" "Is there still more to come?" "When will you be satisfied?" "When will you be satisfied!" "?" "Don't think of escaping" "Be a good boy and hide for now" "If anyone gets suspicious, everything we've done will be for nothing" "Go quickly." "Okay" "I thought others had died" "But it turns out it's me" "Eh?" "Hurry up!" "Wait for me" "Wait" "Don't come over here!" "Quick, go back!" "Stop singing, I can't get to sleep" "Since my father died, he hasn't been able to sleep" "He won't close his eyes" "I don't know what's wrong with him." "He won't even drink his milk" "Sleep" "Sleep" "Stop singing!" "There's been so much death in the river recently" "That's not superstition" "Fool!" "It is superstition, the killing is done by people" "Definitely, it has to be done by someone" "Who?" "Of course it must be you" "Very depressing!" "The things men say." "How about saying something nice for a change?" "Why can't we say it?" "High status people of Yusan are dying" "But the money of Taka won't go into your pockets" "I don't want to hear anymore of this" "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Really, what are you looking at?" "Osa" "Shinzi Shinzi" "I beg you, take me away." "Please take me away" "Young Mistress, what happened?" "Young Mistress?" "Young mistress" "Coming" "Where is Shinzi?" "Hey, go and search the dormitory!" "You go over there!" " He's not here?" " No" "Where did he go?" "That bastard!" "I've seen him around here a number of times" "Are you sure?" "Hey, I found him!" "Shinzi" "Stand still!" "Don't even thinking about getting away" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "No..." "Shinzi" "You'll be discovered here" "Shinzi" "Shinzi" "Ah..." "Ah" "Shinzi..." "Shinzi" "Shinzi" "Sister..." "Shinzi" "We've been waiting for you"
