00:04:58:Kie!00:04:58:You poor thing!00:05:00:Yes, you're right.



00:05:03:I'm sorry, Shino.00:05:05:Come on, pour Samon a drink!00:05:10:Squire Samon...00:05:12:...this is a good time to ask.00:05:15:Do you really meanto take this girl to wife?00:05:20:Why do you ask?00:05:25:When her father was alive,our stipend was 100 koku of rice.

00:05:30:That is not so much less than yours.00:05:35:But after he had to commit suicide,we were reduced to 30 koku per year.00:05:43:Our prospects for advancementare not good, either.00:05:49:Are you not worried aboutwhat your family will think...00:05:54:...if you marry one of us?00:05:58:Don't be concerned.I will choose who I marry.00:06:04:That is good to hear.00:06:07:There's just one thingthat displeases me.00:06:12:What?00:06:13:You'll be my 'elder brother'.I don't look forward to that.00:06:19:Fool!

00:06:20:It'll go to your head.00:06:22:Kie, did you hear that?00:06:24:Agh!00:06:25:Yes, sir.00:06:27:He's not making sense!00:06:29:I understand perfectlyhow Squire Shimada feels.00:06:35:What?!00:06:37:See?00:06:40:Drink up, 'kid brother'!00:06:43:Kie watched over my sisteras she was married to Samon.00:06:51:Next it was her turnto leave us forever...00:06:55:...when she married intoa merchant family.00:07:00:It was as if the lighthad gone out in our house.

00:07:37:Kie!00:07:43:Hello, sir!00:07:47:I thought it was you!00:07:50:Are you well?00:07:52:I'm sorry I couldn't come toyour mother's one-year memorial.00:07:58:It was rude of me.00:08:01:Shopping?00:08:02:Yes. For cloth and thread.00:08:05:Let me buy youa kimono collar, then.00:08:09:What have you gotthat would suit her?00:08:18:You've lost weight.00:08:20:I was in bed with a coldlast month.00:08:25:That's not good.Are you better now?00:08:29:Yes.00:08:34:How's this one?00:08:35:We'll take that, then.00:08:37:Why, thank you!00:08:44:I'm so pleased...00:08:48:Are you happy?00:08:52:Yes.00:09:02:Why are you crying?00:09:05:I'm so happy to see you again...00:09:09:...the tears just came.00:09:11:Is your husbandtaking good care of you?00:09:17:Are you sure?

00:09:21:I'll treasure this collar.00:09:26:Excuse me.00:09:30:Um...



00:09:32:...you're married by now,aren't you, sir?00:09:38:Uh, no...00:09:40:...I'm afraid not.00:09:44:Since Mother diedthe house is a mess.00:09:48:Perhaps you could comeand do some cleaning.00:09:54:I promise I will.00:10:29:You know, Kume...

00:10:32:...I saw Kie today.00:10:35:Oh.00:10:38:I thought she was happily marriedinto the Iseya family...00:10:45:...but today...00:10:49:...she'd grown so paleand thin in the shoulders...00:10:55:She was alwaysso cheerful and healthy...00:11:00:Now she looks ill.00:11:01:Oh, dear!00:11:04:I asked if she was happy...00:11:09:...and she started crying.00:11:15:The poor girl!00:11:24:I wanted to help her,but I didn't know what to do.

00:11:30:Perhaps I should have justbrought her back here with me.00:11:47:I've cared for her ever sinceshe was 16...00:11:53:...like a younger sister.00:11:58:And now she's...00:12:29:I'm going home, sir.00:12:31:You are? Good night.00:12:39:I couldn't help but worry about Kie.00:12:51:I was also feeling guiltyabout my inability to understand...00:12:56:...the principlesof the new western artillery.00:13:03:Now, this is vital.00:13:06:Wearing the fingerstall, you insertthe right forefinger into the vent.00:13:13:This prevents air from being expelledwhen the shot is loaded...00:13:18:...which could be disastrous.

00:13:21:Bang!00:13:22:A premature discharge,causing burns and even death.00:13:27:I had a colleague die that way.00:13:30:Next occurs the 'ranging' of the gun.This involves four techniques:00:13:35:1: Quadrant. 2: Tangent scale.3: Breech sight...00:13:40:...and 4: Pendulum hausse.You learned these yesterday.00:13:44:Questions?00:13:46:Yes?00:13:47:This book saysthe English 'Armstrong' cannon...00:13:52:...has a vent piece, so you don'thave to stick your finger in it.00:13:57:It costs more.00:13:59:One Armstrong costs as much as500 of your old matchlocks.00:14:06:Wars now are won bythe most expensive weaponry.00:14:10:By money. Such is the agethat is upon us.00:14:13:Sensei...00:14:14:Yes?00:14:16:I'm sorry, but...00:14:18:...I haven't the foggiest ideawhat you're talking about.00:14:24:It'd help if you'd speakthe way we're used to...00:14:28:He can't!00:14:29:Then why get an instructorfrom Edo?00:14:33:Could you at least translateall those English and Dutch words?00:14:38:They put my head in a whirl.00:14:42:The longer I sit the stupider I feel!00:14:48:You find this amusing?

00:14:51:Is this a time for levity?00:14:53:To prepare you to face an emergencywith modern artillery...00:14:59:...your clan has summoned mefrom Edo to this backwater!





00:20:45:Disgraceful!00:20:48:In battle you stand readywith sword or spear.00:20:53:'I, Kanbei Katagiri,do challenge you! '00:20:57:Thus you announce your name,and let the skills you have mastered...00:21:03:...decide the victor.00:21:06:That's how it must be!00:21:08:The westerners are barbarians.They feed on beasts!

00:21:14:With all due respect, Uncle...00:21:18:...we have fought since the Genpei Warwith sword and spear...00:21:24:...and bow and arrow as well.00:21:28:But in those 700 years the westhas devoted its ingenuity...00:21:35:...to creating new weapons of war.00:21:38:Aye!00:21:39:Inventing new things,discarding the old.00:21:43:That's the way of the west,and perhaps one of these days...00:21:48:...we'll have to change how we thinkabout war, and everything else.00:21:53:Discarding the old?!00:21:58:It's those western airs you put on...00:22:02:...that keep you from finding a wife,you young oaf!

00:22:07:'Oaf'? I have a wife.00:22:11:It's Munezo here who doesn't.00:22:16:It's you?00:22:18:What's the connection betweenfirearms and a wife for me?00:22:23:Everything's connected, you fool!00:22:26:Featherbrain!00:22:27:No-account!00:22:28:Disgrace!00:22:29:Uncle...00:22:31:The refreshments are ready.00:22:39:Who are you again?00:22:40:Munezo's sister.00:23:02:The tea's ready, 'Father'.

00:23:06:They really lit into you,'EIder Brother'.00:23:09:And you, 'Father'.00:23:14:I've always hated that man.He's so full of himself!00:23:21:He had no call to talk like that,spraying spit all over the place...00:23:28:It's my own faultfor not finding myself a wife.00:23:32:Aye.00:23:37:You can't beat me yet, 'Father'.00:23:39:Kane, bring my sewing box.00:23:45:Brother...00:23:46:What?00:23:47:Your cloak's ripped. I couldn'ttake my eyes off it at the ceremony.00:23:57:Well, they do saysingle men breed maggots...00:24:00:...but still, he's gettingreally scruffy.00:24:08:He wasn't like thatwhen Kie was around.00:24:11:Oh, Kie... how is she?00:24:15:I'm worried. I think I'II...00:24:17:Is something wrong with Kie?00:24:22:She's in bed sick.00:24:25:She's sick? Is it bad?00:24:31:It looks that way.00:24:33:The clerk from the next storewas here, and he told me...00:24:38:...that from the day after her weddingKie was up before everyone...00:24:42:...cleaning and cookingfor all the apprentices...00:24:45:...and bathing last at nightin everyone's grime.00:24:49:The clerk said anyonewould get sick that way.

00:24:57:That's a real shame.00:25:00:He said she miscarried last falland they gave her no time to rest.00:25:05:And now she's ill they won't spendthe money for a doctor.



00:25:10:That's terrible!00:25:14:Her father came to see her.00:25:18:They said Kie was of their family now,and he wasn't to interfere.00:25:23:They turned him away.00:25:25:They are terrible.00:25:31:How long has she been in bed?00:25:36:She hasn't been seen in the shopin two months.

00:25:42:If you knew that,why haven't you been to see her?!00:25:46:I couldn't go to a merchant's house!00:25:51:Where are you going?00:25:54:I've been worried about herall through the winter.00:25:59:I'll go see her.00:26:00:Hey!00:26:05:I'll go, too.00:26:18:Well! What can I do for you?00:26:22:Your daughter-in-law once servedin my house. My name is Katagiri.00:26:27:Oh, yes! Kie's told us all about you.00:26:33:I've heard Kie is ill.I'm here to see her.00:26:37:That's very nice of you.

00:26:39:Yes, she is ill...00:26:42:...but I'm looking after her,so you need have no fear.00:26:50:Once she's recovered,I'll have her come and thank you.00:26:56:Is she very ill?00:26:59:Not seriously.00:27:01:A circulatory problem.It's quite common.00:27:05:But I'm told she's been illfor two months now.00:27:09:Has a doctor seen her?00:27:10:Of course! Our family doctorattends to her.00:27:17:Since I've come all this way,I'd like to see her once before I go.00:27:21:Kie is my son's wife.00:27:25:I can't have a man visiting her,former employer or not.00:27:29:The very idea!

00:27:32:You refuse?00:27:33:Yes! I have young peopleworking here to consider.00:27:37:I will see her.00:27:42:Samurai or not, the answer is 'no'.Now leave, please.00:27:47:I'll see her whether you like it or not!00:27:50:Shall I call the Constable?00:27:53:Where is Kie? Take me to her!00:28:02:Hey!00:28:14:She's no use to us anyway!00:28:18:This room's freezing!00:28:24:Kie...00:28:26:...do you recognize me?00:28:32:Your house...00:28:36:I didn't come to clean your house.Forgive me.00:28:44:I do.00:28:46:I was so busy...00:28:50:...all through New Year's...00:28:54:Then I got sick...00:28:58:...and I couldn't get up.00:29:01:No?00:29:07:I'm afraid if I go on like thisI'm going to die.00:29:18:But...00:29:20:...I wanted to see you first, sir...00:29:27:...and apologize.00:29:32:That's fine. You cantell me all about it later.

00:29:38:Let's go.00:29:41:Come with me.00:29:44:What did you say?



00:29:49:I'm ashamed... to be seen like this.00:29:55:Don't be.00:29:58:It's that old witch's faultthis happened.00:30:08:I'm taking Kie.00:30:10:Write a statement of divorce.I'll come for it later.00:30:15:You're in the way! Move!00:30:19:All right, Kie... hold on tight.

00:30:25:Hold onto me.00:30:32:She's ours! Where are you taking her?00:30:34:You listen to me!00:30:37:Kie trained as a maid with usfor three and a half years.00:30:42:From my late mother...00:30:45:...she learned houseworkand deportment...00:30:48:...so she could go proudlyas a bride into any house.00:30:53:It enrages me to see her...00:30:59:...in a pitiful state like this!00:31:04:File a complaint if you wish.00:31:09:I'll protect herif it takes my sword to do it!00:31:21:Milksop!

00:31:32:The basket, Naota!00:31:35:What are you doing?00:31:37:The chicken got away!00:31:42:Shino! I'm glad you came.00:31:44:Naota told me everything.Where is she?00:31:48:In the back room.00:31:50:What did the doctor say?00:31:52:That she's weak,but not badly ill.00:31:55:Really?00:31:57:He says with food and restshe'll be fine.00:32:09:Kie...00:32:13:...it's me.00:32:15:Do you recognize me?

00:32:21:You poor thing! You're so thin!00:32:26:We should have come sooner!00:32:30:No, don't get up.00:32:34:Just lay back and rest.00:32:41:I'll wipe her down.Heat some water.00:32:44:I already am.00:32:46:I'll get her one of Mother's robes.Where are they?00:32:50:I'll do it.00:32:51:Shino!00:32:53:I thought we could make hersome chicken broth.00:32:56:Get busy!00:32:57:You can't feed her anythingas oily as that now!00:33:01:Make some rice gruel.00:33:04:How do you make that?00:33:07:Boil a little rice in water.00:33:09:Kane, you do it.00:33:11:Munezo, heat me some water!00:33:14:Oh, yeah...00:33:18:Kume! Go somewhereout of the way!00:33:21:What can I do?00:33:23:You're in the way, too.00:33:27:What are you doing?!00:33:35:I'll do it.00:33:37:Don't let go!00:33:49:Kume, look in on Kiebefore you go to bed.

00:33:56:I'll come back tomorrow.00:33:59:Sorry to keep you here this late.00:34:08:What's going to come of this?



00:34:11:A samurai carryinga girl on his back...00:34:15:...in broad daylight!00:34:19:People will talk.00:34:29:Here, Kie. This'll warm your feet.00:34:39:Tomorrow I'll go backto the Iseya...00:34:43:...and settle everything.00:34:46:There's nothing to worry about.You just rest here.

00:34:51:Think of this as your own home.00:34:55:All right?00:36:27:Hello...00:36:29:Hello!00:36:33:Is this Squire Katagiri's house?00:36:39:I'm Kie's sister. I've come to see her.00:36:53:Good day to you.00:36:55:In there.00:37:05:Sis?00:37:10:Bun!00:37:14:Pa said come see you.00:37:19:You came all that way,and by yourself!

00:37:26:I'm so glad you're all right!00:37:30:I was so worried!00:38:34:Who are you?What are you doing here?00:38:42:No, that's not necessary.00:38:46:Who are you, child?00:39:01:Do I seem such an ogre, then?00:39:07:That's a surprise to me.00:39:09:It's not that you're an ogre, sir.00:39:13:Samurai scare her.00:39:16:She's never seen oneup close before.00:39:21:Why do we scare her?00:39:23:Because you carry swords.00:39:27:I grew up thinkingthat if I offended a samurai...

00:39:31:...he'd cut me downright there on the spot.00:39:35:That's just not so, Kie.00:39:39:A sword is somethingyou hardly ever draw.00:39:43:I've never drawn mineexcept to tend to it.00:39:47:Is that the truth, sir?00:39:51:Of course!00:39:53:Killing is frightening,even for a samurai.00:39:58:That's somethingI've never heard before.00:40:02:So were you afraid of mewhen you first came here?00:40:07:My heart was pounding, sir.I thought I might die any moment.00:40:14:Is that really what you thought?00:40:19:And here my heart was pounding...00:40:23:...over this young girlwho'd come to our house.00:40:28:Is something wrong?00:40:30:I'm fooling with you, sir.00:40:34:Well, of all the nerve!00:40:36:Making fun of me!Can you imagine that, Naota?00:40:44:Now, that's a big mouth!00:40:55:See, Bun? Your sister's laughing.00:41:06:Watch your head!00:41:13:Naota!00:41:17:No sleeping late tomorrow, now.00:41:22:You've got to grow up rightand make a good wife of yourself.00:41:29:Will you go as a bride again?00:41:33:No. I've learned my lesson.

00:41:36:When I'm better,I'll just look after the master.00:41:41:I owe him my life, after all.00:41:43:Will you marry the master, then?



00:41:48:No. The master and Iare of different castes.00:41:53:Different what?00:41:55:'Castes'.00:41:57:What does that mean?00:42:01:I don't really know.00:42:05:I've never thought about it before.00:42:16:Hello!

00:42:18:Hello!00:42:21:Who's there?00:42:27:Who is it?00:42:29:It's me, Samon.00:42:40:There's trouble.00:42:50:Hazama's been sent downfrom Edo for plotting rebellion.00:42:54:He'll be caged here in the domain.00:42:59:Hazama?

00:53:55:How was your work today?00:54:00:Why do you ask?00:54:02:You're so pale I thought perhapssomething made you angry.
