"My big sister had just hung herself to death and I wished everything to just fall apart." "Don't go, Sabu!" "It´s okay, let´s go back." "The mistress told me to leave." "It´s the third time." "I'm no good." "I´m no good at all, dumb and slow." "You know the mistress just has a bad mouth, don't you?" "Do you want to go back to your family´s where so many of you share a tiny old house that´s dark and full of soot." "Plus, they only have a mere five-tan rice paddy of poor soil." "It´s none of your business!" "Stop crying!" "Can I tell you something?" "I've... stolen money from the register once." "You know the barbecued eel stand by the moat near the Wakoku Bridge?" "When I smell the barbecue I can't hold back myself." "The mistress said she saw what I'd done at the register." "She said if I wanted money to come and tell her so and she'd give it to me." "Why didn't you tell me if you wanted to eat the barbecue?" "I was so ashamed I wanted to die." "But where could we go if we leave the store?" "When I was eight, I lost both my parents and my little sister in a fire." "I have no home to go back to." "You had a hard time." "I'll go back." "I'm sorry, Eiji." "Let´s go." "Let´s go!" " Okay." "What?" "Use this umbrella." "We don´t need it." "We're going back to Kobuna ward." "Go on your way." "Thank you, but you'd get wet." "I don´t care." "Here!" "We don´t need it!" "Cause we're dumb." "Your feet look like adders." "Let´s run!" "Yeah." "I was nine." "Eiji and Sabu were 13, I think." "Meeting them was like seeing the beautiful color of a flower in the dark of the night." "The memory in my heart never faded even when I grew up." "I'm Kinta." "I got caught doing small-time gambling, and now I'm being exiled to Ishikawa Island." "What a shame!" " Be quiet!" "This labor pool is not a jail." "Ruthless vagabonds are normally sent to another island but by the special consideration of the government you were ordered to serve as load-carrying laborers." "Pay attention!" "Unlike other jails, we don´t treat you prisoners as criminals at this labor pool." "Moreover, if you have any skill, you're give a job utilizing it." "If you don´t, you can choose whatever job you like." "I'm Gonzo Matsuda, the labor pool supervisor." "The laborers here call me the Red Demon behind my back." "You!" "Are you listening to me?" "I'm Yojiro Kojima, the laborer watch." "A laborer watch is a caretaker of you, so to speak." "I heard you can´t even say your name." "In a place like this, you´d better be good or you´d get hurt." "For now we'll call you Bushu." "Mr. Sutekichi why was Eiji fired all of a sudden?" "I don´t know anything." "I was hired after Eiji, I'm Gohei." "Thank you." "Are you using the same assistant?" "If you prefer a different man, I can ask our master." "I´ll work hard!" "Osue!" "Yes." "Are you getting married to the ornament craftsman in Kodenma ward?" "No." "You aren't?" "You said a marriage was being arranged with him, didn´t you?" "My father is living alone." "Guess I´m not the only one suffering since Eiji stopped coming here." "Thank you for everything." "You look good now that you lost the canines." "Hey, open your mouth." "Just find out where Eiji´s gone to." "I´m a pimp, not a detective." "Falling for a man means asking for trouble." "Remember your big sister fell for a man and hung herself at a swamp in Yoshiwara?" "My sister was a fool." "She should´ a killed you who sold her to Yoshiwara before she killed herself." "I did it `cause your pop and mom asked me to." "They came whining to me they were so poor and didn´t have a grain of rice for the next day." "No." "No!" "No!" "It hurts..." "You´re pretty hot." "I can sell you for more money than for your sister." "Sabu..." "Yes." "...stop sniffing around about Eiji." "If you get fired, you wouldn't be eating so much rice." "Yes!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Fighting is forbidden here." "Saiji you´re a group leader and you get into fights?" "Nobu-ko." "Nobu-ko!" "Nobu-ko!" "Sabu!" "Eiji disappeared." "Hoko-do fired him and he´s nowhere to be found." "Sabu!" "I´m so worried, I can´t even eat." "He´s probably dead." "You'll find his body floating around there sometime." "Get off." "Sabu!" "Sabu, stop it." "What´s wrong with you?" "Stop it!" "What´s going on?" " Out of the way!" "What´s going on?" "This guy..." "Arrest this guy!" "What did he do?" "Nothing really." "Can´t be nothing." " Well..." "Are you alright?" " What're you all looking at?" "It´s not entertainment, you idiots!" "I´m sorry." "Sorry for your trouble." "Don´t take me for a fool!" "He´s a nasty pimp!" "He abused me a lot, too." "You see I lost weight?" "Let´s drink it up." " Yeah." "I´m losing sleep, and I can´t really talk about it at Hoko-do `cause the master and the mistress get very angry if anything about Eiji comes up." "Did something happen to Eiji at Watabun?" "Don´t know." "Everyone was getting along." "Then, all of a sudden, they took him off his job with Watabun." "What about the girl named Osue?" "She quit and went back to Kanasugi ward." "Said her father lived alone so she was gonna help his brush making business." "How did you know about that?" "Eiji got drunk once and told me about Osue." "He said she was the type he'd want as his wife." "He likes quiet girls like her." "I..." "like the strong-willed type." "I´m no good." " That's not true!" "You´re lovable." "Oh, you have no canines." "Had them taken out just the other day." "I see." "So, you´re a woman now." "You look dazzlingly beautiful." "Sabu." " Hmm?" "Forget about Eiji or Hoko-do will fire you." "Aren´t they making you a full-fledged employee soon?" "Better take care of yourself." "But..." "But..." "You don´t have to worry about anyone else." "Eiji will be fine on his own." "He'll survive." "Sabu...you cry so easily." "Mr. Helper by beating a bag of silver and gold coins so many times are you trying to collect dust of gold at the bottom of the bag or something?" ""The snowy day before he disappeared, Eiji came by...!"" "They'll hear you!" "Sorry." ""He said he had to see our master about the gold embroidered cloth..."" "Mr. Rihei!" "About what happened the other day." " Eiji!" "Since we 've dealt with you for a long time and you're still a young man our master refrained from making it public." "Dealing with Kyoto-made fabrics, I'm sure you had a rough idea but it was a valuable piece worth 100 ryo!" "I don´t know how the gold cloth got in my tool box, but it´s not of my doing!" "You say so, but I saw it together with our master." "If I had done it, I would've hid it in a place where it can´t be found so easily, instead of in my tool box!" "We are merchants, not inspection officers." "I swear to God I didn´t do it!" "There must be something else going on!" "I need to see your master to have a word!" "Once I´m accused of stealing, I´ll have to carry the shame for the rest of my life!" "Hey youngster, if you wanna talk, we'll talk outside." "No!" "I won't move an inch until I see your master!" "It affects a person´s entire life!" "Come on!" "Is this how your family treats people?" "It´s not enough to blame an innocent person of a crime and you treat him like a blackmailer or something!" "?" "It´s not just us!" "Hoko-do is also no longer associated with you." "I heard you've stolen money from the register at Hoko-do." "Bastard." "Shall I take you to the police?" "Hey!" "Get over here!" "What is it!" "?" " Who are you?" "I came about Eiji of Hoko-do in Kobuna ward!" "What the hell´s that about?" "He made a scene at Watabun and was brought here the other day." "Watabun..." "Ah!" "The one who wouldn´t talk." "So, his name is Eiji, is it?" "Yes, where is he?" "On Ishikawa Island." "Shikawa Island, you said?" "l-shi-ka-wa Island!" "Starts with I!" "Ishikawa Island..." "The break is over!" "You, and you, come over here..." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "The break is over!" "You old dog!" "Move your ass, get to work!" " But my slipper..." "I don´t care about your slipper!" "The break is over." "Thank you so much." "My name is Yohei." "I´ve been here eight years already." "I tried and failed to kill my wife." "I owned a small fabric store in Kanasugi, Shiba." "I came to live with the family as a servant and eventually married into the family as the daughter´s husband." "Kanasugi, is it?" "I heard you speak for the first time!" "I worked honestly, but was never treated like the man of the house." "From morning to night, my wife ruled over me and made me do all the work and even my children called their daddy dumb." "I was made to eat my meals on the bare wood floor in the kitchen just like I used to when I was a servant." "Um, well, good afternoon." "I´m here to..." "Osue!" "It´s Sabu." "I brought Eiji´s stuff." "Thank you." "Come in." "I often talk to father about you." "Uh-huh." "Have you found out where Eiji might be?" "Sabu, where´s Eiji?" "I heard he´s at the labor pool on Ishikawa Island." "The story´s that a gold embroidered cloth worth 100 ryo was lost at Watabun and they said Eiji had stolen it." "Can´t be..." "Can´t be true." "Eiji couldn't have stole it." "Yeah, Eiji could never do such a thing." "I know well `cause I´ve always been with him since I was nine." "That´s a lie." "Osue pour him some tea." "Yes." "I never once heard of any money being stolen on this island." "I put it in my wallet and stuck it in the fold of my clothes." "Somebody stole it, I´m...sure..." "Hey!" "Are you saying there´s a thief among us?" "You´re a thief yourself." "Who was that?" "Who said that?" "You claim to be sneaky when you´re so big!" "Hey I saw you came back here alone before anyone else." "Hey, hey." "Let me check your belongings." "Hey you!" "Thought I´d seen you before somewhere." "We met a few times in Sumiyoshi, didn't we?" "Don´t know." "Anyway, why is my wallet in your..." "You bastard!" "You´re Roku, the pimp." "You put your wallet in my stuff knowingly, didn´t you?" "Help me, Itachi." "Help me, help me!" "I´d be lynched." "Please help me!" "Bushu, it´s you again!" "That man tried to frame him by saying he lost his wallet." "That´s not true!" "I didn't do it, it's a lie!" "Bushu, no violence." "One needs patience." "Impatience only makes you pay for it." "Eiji." "You have a visitor." "I'm glad, I looked all over for you!" "What´s the matter?" "It´s me, it´s Sabu!" "I don´t know anyone by that name." "Have you forgotten me?" "We served together at Hoko-do!" "Eiji!" "I´ll be back again!" "I´ll be back, please don´t act recklessly!" "I´ll be back..." "A craftsman dealing with Kyoto fabrics in Kobuna ward your name is Eiji, right?" " Don't know." "I see." "Alright then." "The man who came left some food for you." "He said to tell you the woman named Osue is doing fine." "Don´t know her." "I see." "What're you gonna do about this food?" " Don't want it." "It´s real good-looking sushi, sure you don't want it?" "Hey..." "Denshichi, kill this with everyone else." "Yes?" "Someone brought food for Eiji." "Thank you." "Sabu said to tell you not to catch a cold." "He said he´d visit again." "Eiji!" "Sure you don´t want it?" "Besides sushi, there's dumplings, crackers, towels, loincloths..." "My name is Bushu!" "Wait and see what I´m gonna do!" "The dumplings look good." "Let me have one." "Yes, here." "Here we are." "Thank you very much." "Couldn't see him?" "You did, didn´t you?" "Yeah." "But he said he didn´t know anyone called Sabu." "He lost weight..." "His eyes were glaring." "What about Osue?" "She said she´d wait for him at home." "Doesn't do much good waiting around at home." "She should go to the labor pool herself and visit him." "Why?" "Why doesn't she just go if she loves him?" "Forget him." "What?" "I can´t marry my only daughter to a man who´s been sent to Ishikawa Island." "Working hard, aren´t you?" "Yes, ma'am." "We´ll go back to dealing with Watabun as of the 4th." "Sabu, take Denroku with you and take care of the annex on your own." "What?" "He means to tell you to go independent." "I..." "I..." "But I want you to forget about Eiji altogether." "All right?" "Yes..." "I will... I´ll forget about him." "You mean it?" "Yes." "What is it?" "Oh, I found an unusual looking creature." "Hmm..." "Had a square shape." "Hey!" "Yes." "He won´t see you." "Says he doesn´t know anyone named Sabu." "Don´t be discouraged, do come and visit again." "I know he appreciates it in his heart." "Yes!" "Where´s the old helper?" "I heard he was fired." "Sabu!" "Yes." "Sakichi of Asakusa will be taking care of the annex." "You can go home now." "What?" "I heard you´ve been visiting Eiji at Ishikawa Island." "Is it wrong?" "Is it wrong to take care of a friend?" "Sabu!" "There´s no way Eiji stole the gold embroidered cloth!" " Stop it!" "Someone else must have done it!" "Sabu!" "What is it?" " Please stop!" "Hoko-do would lose their patronage!" " I don't care!" "Gohei, how come you don´t say anything about Eiji?" "I´ll say it, then." "Mr. Rihei!" "Eiji would never do such a thing!" "Never do such a thing!" "What is it?" "He´s our friend!" "Stop it!" " He's our friend!" "Mr. Rihei!" "Mr. Rihei!" "Continue!" "Yes, sir." "Hey, Sabu!" "Hurry up and clean up the barn!" "We can´t wait until it´s winter!" "You move so slow!" "Yo, everyone!" "We´ve got newcomers." "Giichi, Shokichi and Ryu, three of them." "Look after them, alright?" "That´s Denshichi, the group leader." "I´m Denshichi." "Let me introduce you to everyone." "That´s not necessary." "Well, what stupid faces you all have!" "What!" "?" "Be quiet!" "Giichi, don´t cause any trouble." "Yes, Sir Kojima." "We´ll do our best to be good." "Brother, what do you want me to take care of to begin with?" "You beat up anyone who'd go against me." "Shut up!" "What's so funny?" "Hey, Red Demon!" "Is it alright for them to be like this?" "You weren't that much different when you were new to the labor pool." "In about 10 days, they'll calm down." "That´s true." "Hey which one is Bushu?" "I´m Bushu, and what do you want?" "I´ve heard about you that you´re tough." "But our Brother´s not like everybody else." "He was known as the Mountain Scarecrow, famed even in Tenma ward." "Mountain Scarecrow..." "Your face looks like an adder´s." "Hey!" "My face looks like an adder´s, huh?" "Giichi, don´t do it." "That one´s scary." "He might even kill you if you get him upset." "Giichi, quit it!" "Sabu suffered beriberi at the beginning of May and has been recuperating at home in Kasai." "We thought he´d recover quickly but then he got a stomach problem." "Sounds like Sabu." "I got a letter from him saying it didn´t look like he´d be up and about for a while." "He asked me to visit you." "To bring this to you." "He knows he wouldn´t be welcome back home." "Guess he was fired by Hoko-do." "Sabu didn´t want you to worry about him and told me not to say anything." "It´s because he came to visit me one who was dismissed from the house, every time he got a day off." "Such a fool he is!" "It´s not nice to say that about him." "He told me about the gold embroidered cloth." "I know, you´d never do such a thing." "I have one clue about why I got the blame and who plotted it." "This isn't anything I can prove..." "But I was close friends with the daughter at Watabun." "Someone spread a rumor we were gonna marry each other." "Give me a break." "I had no such intention whatsoever." "I had someone else I..." "If I were to get married I´d squarely set my heart on you for my wife..." "But no one at Watabun knew how I really felt and it'd be troublesome if such rumor spread further." "I wouldn´t be surprised if they decided to do something to keep me away from the premise." "When I get out of this island... I´ll avenge Watabun and the detective and his crew in Section A in a way they won´t forget for the rest of their lives, I promised myself." "I swear on my life." "Please forget about me." "But..." "All I think about is to avenge myself." "I understand how you feel but if you were executed what am I to do?" "Nothing we can do about it." "Nothing will make a dead bird sing." "Eiji, you´re not a bird, you´re human!" "A person only has to change his heart, and he can sing a different song, can´t he?" "Shut up!" "As if you know what it's like!" "Go home." "Go home!" "I can smell flowers in the wind." "Smell so good!" "This one´s the sweet olive." "I have no use for the wind or a smell of flowers." "People have good luck and bad luck." "What do you mean good luck and bad luck?" "Someone framed me." "The rich with power of money and the officers with power of authority they blamed a man for a crime he didn't commit and beat him up half-dead." "They're still out there going on with their lives as if they've done nothing wrong." "I can't die peacefully 'til I make them suffer." "Are you suspicious of Sabu?" "There´s an aroma of the sweet olive in the wind." "If you calm your mind and breath it in you can smell the aroma, too." "Rains a lot, doesn´t it?" "Nobu!" "This here is Toku, a chef at Tokiwa-ro in Ryogoku." "Uh-huh." "I recall he´s a friend of your late husband." "That´s right." "Well, why don´t you come and sit with us?" "Nobu, would you consider marrying him and taking over this restaurant Sumiyoshi?" "Since my man died, we lost our customers." "Going on at this rate, we could end up closing the shop." "Plus, you´re 20 now, at an appropriate age." "Um, I..." "I´ve always liked you." "How old are you, Mr. Toku?" "Mm..." "I´m 37..." "Is it bad?" "I´m sorry...bothering you when the shop is closed." "You must be Osue, aren´t you?" "Yes." "And you´re Nobu?" "Yes. I´m Nobu-ko." "I went to see Eiji at the labor pool." "Would you like some sake?" "No, I just wanted to meet you." "You´re so pretty." "I´m surprised." "I have lots of make-up on." "Who´s that man?" "He wants to marry me." "Him?" "He´s 35 or 36 at least." "No matter how old he is even if he were a wrinkled-up old man, I couldn't disobey my mistress' order." "Because of her, my family´s been able to eat." "Thank you. I´ll borrow this." "You don´t have to bring it back." "You know there are things women can understand about each other." "Like what?" "It was you who stole the gold embroidered cloth, wasn't it?" "You´re brave." "Hard to do." "Putting your life at stake." "Big brother!" "The chicken´s laid an egg!" "Hey, Sabu, what're you doing?" "What?" "Did you steal it?" "Bastard!" "Were you gonna eat a chick, you lazy bum!" "There you go." "Thank you." "There are mums blooming." "I´m sorry about making you look for a home for me all the sudden." "Your father must be upset." "No, he likes you, Sabu." "I hope Eiji will like this place." "Or will he complain that it´s a row house?" "He wouldn´t." "I wonder when he'll get out of the labor pool." "When he´s out, I want to start Kyoto fabric business with him." "I make the best glue in the world, and Eiji does a great job of drawing." "He said to forget about it." "About what?" "He said he wouldn´t marry me." "Said he was going to avenge himself." "If I told him I did it I wonder if he´d beat me up `til I almost die?" "But if he´s satisfied with that I wonder if he wouldn´t marry you then?" "If he´d be content with that then I would." "Watch out, Roku!" "Eiji!" "Dices going in." " Odds!" "Even!" "Make a bet, anyone else?" "Even." "All up." "Hey!" "Kojima´s coming!" "Doesn´t matter." "Here we go." "It´s Odds." "Don´t do it so openly." "You go and negotiate." "Bushu, I declined but he insisted, so I brought him." "Dices going in." "Make a bet..." "Eiji, it must have been so painful." "He was crying, "l´m dying, I´m dying!"" "Don´t make fun of an ill person." "Giichi, don´t make any trouble." "Yes, sir." "Eiji, is this a gambling spot?" "Sabu, thanks for coming." "I was so shocked to hear you broke your leg!" "Here." "Nobu-ko made these for you." "She said it tastes awful but gives you energy." "And these are for other people in the room." "What´s that?" "You, go and fetch them." "It´s finger food for sake." "Don´t gamble so much." "Gambling´s my only addiction." "Thank you." "Hurry and get your leg back in shape!" "I´d hate to get a reputation for beating up a wounded guy." "What if it never healed for the rest of my life?" "What do you care?" "Come and get me." "I´m dying, I´m dying!" "Go and die, then." "Eiji, you said, for the rest of your life?" "Yeah, I might be limping." "The doctor said it´d look kind of cool." "That´s cruel." "How cruel..." "Eiji, I´m sorry." "I want to..." "Hey, you don´t have to apologize." "But...but..." "Eiji limping...he might look cool." "Nobu-ko, you always take things positively when it comes to Eiji." "That´s true." "I wonder why?" "I know it." "Know...know what?" "You you´ve always liked Eiji." "Nobu-ko?" "Sabu, run away with me." "Nobu-ko?" "Run with me." "Run?" "To elope?" "But I can´t run away and leave Eiji on his own." "I´m gonna open a shop with him." "With his skills, we can make Kyoto fabrics business bigger than Hoko-do." "You, Eiji or I none of us would ever become happy." "That´s not so." "We´re fine." "We´re fine." "If we do our best, God watches over us." "God is you." "What?" "Close it!" "It´s cold." "I said it´s cold." "Pack up the game right now!" "I hate gambling." "Brother, here it is." "It might be a bit too long, but you wanna give it a try?" "Can you get up?" "Thanks." "Yeah, feels good." "It´s solid." "Really?" "It´s cherry wood." "Anything too flexible or too heavy would do no good." "I asked around and seems this is the best material." "You´re gonna need another clutch in time." "What do you mean by that?" "Both of your legs may break, that´s what I mean." "You´re so dumb." "Mankichi, don't!" "Don't pay any mind to him." "They´ve got a knife." "A knife?" "Well, well we´re supposed to get along around here..." "Shut up!" "Are you alright?" "Oh, I´m sorry." "Let´s do it." "What a good night!" "What´s the matter, Yohei?" "What are you doing down here?" "I, well, I don´t know why my footing becomes so unstable at night." "It´s hard getting old." "I see." "Are you alright?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "This isn´t a gambling lot!" "It´s the rule." "Hey, Giichi, what did you just say?" "I was just mumbling to myself and don´t remember what I said." "You, shit head!" "Where do you think you are?" "I thought this was the labor pool on Ishikawa Island." "I´ll never do it again." "Please forgive me." "My name is Osei, I'm your neighbor." "Yes." "Osei, what is it?" "Do you need anything?" "I´d like to borrow some money." "Me loaning you money." "That´s fine." "Except I bought some paper for my work yesterday, and this is all I´ve got." "Will this be enough?" "Here." "The roof´s blown off!" "Get out, everyone get out of here!" "The oil house is on fire!" "You guys, don´t go near it!" "Gather at the station!" "Roku!" "Roku, we´re gathering in front of the station." "Roku!" "This island was originally a sandbank." "A bank of the pebbles and sands spitted by Ookawa River that accumulated." "It´s not safe when it gets flooded." "In addition to this storm, the tide will be high in half hour or so and we can´t be sure if we´ll survive if we stay here." "Therefore, at my discretion as Governor of the labor pool you´re temporarily released" "Quiet!" "Listen to me!" "However, though I´m releasing you in my power as Town Governor be sure to return here in 7 days!" "Understood?" "There are 3 connection boats on Ookawa River!" "Let the sick and the women go first, and evacuate in an orderly way!" "There´s a woman in the oil house!" "There´s a woman!" "A woman in there?" "Why?" "Yes, well, I don´t know why, but there´s a woman!" "Roku!" "Brother!" "Eiji!" "Help!" "Roku!" "Roku?" "Roku!" "Roku!" "Eiji!" "Roku!" "Roku!" "Come back out!" "Roku!" "Roku!" "Eiji!" "Get away, or we´re gonna be hurt!" "Roku!" "Get down here, quick!" "Let me take care of the women!" "Fool!" "There´s no one in there any more!" "Roku!" ""Thanks."" "Watch out!" "Get back!" "Roku!" "Everyone!" "We should all go back." "Why should we!" "?" " We'll all stay except for the women and sick!" "Let´s protect the labor pool!" "We all owe so much to this place." "How could we forget our gratitude?" "You gotta be kiddin'!" "Why should we?" "Do you want to abandon the labor pool?" "That´s right!" "He´s right." "Let´s protect the labor pool!" "Why should we?" "Do you wanna abandon it?" "Please!" "I beg you!" "We should protect this place!" "What do you say, everybody!" "?" "Alright, alright!" "To the station, we´re going back to the station!" "Let´s go back to the station!" "Hey, over here!" "Quick, the wood, bring the wood!" "Hurry up!" "Let´s work together!" "Keep it up!" "Brother!" "How does the soil taste?" "We´re gonna leave the island now." "I wanted to finish my business with you even though you´re wounded!" "Brother!" "Eiji!" " Don´t interfere!" "Nobody interfere!" "This is my job." "Eiji!" "I´m gonna die!" "I´m gonna die!" "I´m gonna die!" "Hey!" "The watchman´s coming!" "Mr. Kojima!" "Better not do it." "If you killed Bushu, we´re his witnesses!" "Or rather, we won´t let you kill him!" "That´s right!" "Try to kill him!" "Don´t!" "Don´t get in his way!" "Put the sword away." "Please put it away and get back to your position now." "Shut up!" "What´s going on?" "Eiji!" "You fool!" "Such a big fool!" "I´ll punish you when the storm´s over." "Giichi lost an eye and got two ribs broken." "Ryu got his left arm broken and his left ear torn off." "Yes. I´m so very sorry." "Eiji´s not a patient type." "I hate him." "He thinks he´s right in everything." "There´s no such thing in the world." "That´s arrogance." "But..." "I wonder if that´s not better than holding back his anger and not fighting back, like me?" "Giichi and Ryu will be sent to Tenma ward as soon as they get well." "Eiji will be sent back to Kitamachi Governor´s office for reassessment." "Oh..." "Can I see Eiji?" "Idiot!" "He´s a sinner." "No way I´ll let you see him." "Yes." "Do you know what this is?" "What is it?" "It´s an appeal for your sentence reduction and release." "Signed by over 100 laborers." "I´ll send this over to Kitamachi Governor´s office." "If you will swear not to make any trouble back in town this will help you a great deal." "I´m happy." "I´m grateful." "Are you?" "For a kind like me..." "I can´t find a word to thank them." "But, Sir Okayasu if I get back out if I breathe the air of the outside, then..." "Eiji, you smell the flowers?" "Is it the mums?" "It´s the wild mums." "Kitamachi Governor´s office" "Eiji!" "At last I have a girl now." "Her name is Osei, she´s the daughter of a poor samurai who makes umbrella shades." "It´s real funny." "The way we met, she appears at my doorstep out of nowhere and goes, "Lend me some money."" "Sabu..." "I wanna show you my girl." "Don´t I have the right?" "Since the time we started working, I´ve always been made to feel jealous of you." "Osei is quite pretty." "Will you please meet her?" "Since I´ve been transferred here, every day I remember the incident." "The incident?" "You mean the stealing?" "Yeah." "I thought I´d changed somewhat since serving at the labor pool, but not a bit." "When I get out, I´m sure I´d go straight to Watabun and make a scene." "Sabu..." "Please go back home." "Eiji, it won´t happen." "You won´t do such a thing any more." "See, your eyes are completely different." " I'm not coming back." "I won´t leave this place." "Eiji!" "Think about how Osue feels!" "I feel bad for her." "Please go." "Eiji of Shitaya Sakamoto ward, Section 2." "You´re released." "Get out." "Mr. Eiji, congratulations!" "Well, not quite so." "I´m still having bad dreams." "Here´s a cake sold at the shrine." "The Red Demon and Denshichi, the group leader are looking forward to attending the wedding of you and Miss Osue, bringing you gifts from everyone!" "No matter what kind of person you are, you can´t live alone." "You were never alone, and from this point on you'll never be alone, either." "Old man... I´ve always had this idea, that when I´d get out I´d get you out too, and live with you." "Thank you!" "But I´ve been at the labor pool for so long that I´m scared of living outside." "The best I can do is dream about the past and shed tears from time to time." "Are you gonna be alright?" "Eiji!" "They kicked me out." "That´s right." "You never did anything wrong to begin with." "By the way, Osue wanted to come along but I asked her to prepare your favorite meal and wait at home." "How´s the daughter of Watabun doing?" "I heard she got married." "I know I´ve got to forget about the incident." "To forget and live an honest life." "That´s right." "My mom´s not doing well." "I´ll swing by my folks´ and check on her." "I wonder if the glue came out OK." "Can you check it for me?" "I´ve got an order." "Nobu-ko!" "Welcome back!" "Nobu-ko..." "You lost your canines." "Guess I´m an adult now." "Welcome!" "Welcome!" "Eiji, my mistress´ new husband, Toku." "Come in." "While I was avoiding my commitment the two became close to each other and decided to get married." "A nice couple." "Toku´s asking if you want him to cook something for you." "Not to worry." "Eiji is about to eat Osue´s homemade dinner `til he´s full and some more." "Mistress, I´m glad for you." "To hear such word from you!" "You´ve changed." "The hardship paid off." "People can be mysterious." "Why?" "Roku the pimp, tried to help people on a stormy night got into a burning house and died." "I can´t believe that´s true." "He was always truly nasty, the kind of person who´d pull on the foot of a hanged body." "Guess that´s what everybody thinks of him." "But he was brave." "He jumped in the fire and saved a woman about to burn to death." "I lost to him after all." "Eiji, you really have changed." "You, too, have come up beautiful, Nobu-ko." "I want to be your wife." "What?" "I´d sell my body gladly if you wanted me to." "They might be worried about me at home, guess I´m going now." "Please stay a little longer." "Nobu-ko, spare me, will you?" "It´s not much but it´s a good sake." "I´ll burn some incense for Roku the pimp." "Eiji..." "I wanted to come and pick you up but Sabu said to stay home and make some food." "Oh, you think this fish came out good?" "The landlord said he was gonna bring a yellow tail so I was grilling some bonito, your favorite." "But you know, bonito doesn´t come out good if you overcook it." "Sabu wanted you to see how the glue is coming out when you get here." "Yeah." "That bastard!" "Eiji?" "Bring me sake." "Bring me sake, cold one is fine." ""l´m sorry."" ""It´s my fault that you were sent to the island for the thing about the cloth."" ""I must compensate for the sin l´ve committed if it takes my lifetime."" "I knew it was Sabu!" "He was jealous thinking I might marry the daughter of Watabun..." "So he stole that gold embroidered cloth and had me sent to the island." "Dammit!" "Wait!" "I´m sorry." "Please forgive me." "It´s me." "I wasn´t going to tell you for the rest of my life, no matter what." "But if you suspected Sabu and your friendship got damaged there'd be no way I could repay you, so I'll tell you." "The one who placed the cloth in your tool box was me." "Osue, you´re covering for Sabu, aren´t you?" "No." "I wanted to be your wife." "I´d do anything for you to make me your wife." "Eiji would you consider marrying me?" "What?" "Please don´t make such a joke." "Forgive me!" "I´m sorry!" "I wanted to be your wife!" "That was all I could think of." "I couldn´t think of anything else." "Please don´t let me go!" "I beg you!" "I beg you, please let me stay here!" "Osue..." "As I suspected." "Mr Eiji..." "Please do with her whatever suits you." "Osue, rinse them." "Your father´s feet got dirty." "Hurry and rinse them for him." "The 3 years I spent at the labor pool taught me more than spending 10 years out here." "It´s not a lie." "I´m even grateful for you." "Osue..." "You´re my wife." "Mr. Eiji!" "Wait inside." "Please forgive me, Eiji!" "I´m sorry." "It was me who stole the gold cloth." "I was jealous of you 'cause you always got all the good things and I´m dumb and slow..." "So... I´m sorry, Eiji." "I´m sorry." "Please forgive me, Eiji!" "I´m sorry, forgive me, I´m sorry, forgive me..." "I never saw Sabu and Eiji since then." "I decided to get married." "My husband is almost 40." "As you can tell from his age, it´s his second marriage." "But he runs a large restaurant in the Enoshima area and I´m told living is easy." "So, I think it´s good fortune for a girl like me." "Each person has his fate and the time it took me to acknowledge my fate" "It´s been 10 years since I first met Sabu and Eiji." "It took me a long, long time."
