0:02:40.560,0:02:45.899
Another show's coming?

0:02:45.899,0:02:51.704
Some traveling actors.

0:02:51.704,0:04:01.874
Kihachi Ichikawa's troupe.

0:04:01.874,0:04:08.815
It's been a long time, Master.

0:04:08.815,0:04:47.553
I'm going to stay here for a while.

0:04:47.553,0:04:54.427
Your son's really grown up.

0:04:54.427,0:05:10.710
It's been four years.[br]He's nine now.

0:05:10.710,0:05:47.914
She was just a gawky little girl,[br]but look at her now.

0:05:47.914,0:05:52.151
KIHACHI ICHIKAWA'S TROUPE![br]OPENS JULY 7!

0:05:52.151,0:06:06.599
You're going to see the show tonight?

0:06:06.599,0:06:16.676
Kihachi was so handsome[br]when he was young.

0:06:16.676,0:06:59.352
We used to all go[br]when he came here.

0:06:59.352,0:07:55.908
Got any older sisters?

0:07:55.908,0:08:03.783
Don't eat too much[br]or you'll wet the bed again.

0:08:03.783,0:08:38.150
Do it again and I'll have Otoki[br]give you a moxa treatment.

0:08:38.150,0:09:03.075
Did the boss wet the bed last night?

0:09:03.075,0:09:09.348
Why don't you give him[br]bigger doses of moxa?

0:09:09.348,0:09:38.711
Easy for you to say.[br]You don't know what it feels like.

0:09:38.711,0:09:44.183
Just think about Goemon Ishikawa.[br]He was boiled alive.

0:09:44.183,0:09:49.689
He was a famous robber.[br]I'm not.

0:09:49.689,0:09:56.329
One of your plays is all about thieves.

0:09:56.329,0:10:04.904
Don't be silly.[br]Get me a kimono.

0:10:04.904,0:11:12.972
I'll pay a visit to some patrons[br]I have here.

0:11:12.972,0:11:17.043
It's been a long time.

0:11:17.043,0:11:34.260
I thought it was about time you came.[br]I've been waiting.

0:11:34.260,0:11:54.780
Would you like a drink?

0:11:54.780,0:12:02.521
How is your arthritis?

0:12:02.521,0:12:10.996
Not bad, now that I use[br]the medicine you told me about.

0:12:10.996,0:12:23.642
I get stiff shoulders lately.[br]I'm being treated with moxa.

0:12:23.642,0:12:32.551
It's good to see[br]you're as well as ever.

0:12:32.551,0:12:38.157
How is Shinkichi?

0:12:38.157,0:12:41.794
He graduated[br]from agriculture college last year.

0:12:41.794,0:13:37.016
He's a postgraduate now.

0:13:37.016,0:13:55.868
The head of the troupe is here.

0:13:55.868,0:14:09.415
He's a big boy now.

0:14:09.415,0:14:18.624
He'll be eligible for the draft[br]next year.

0:14:18.624,0:14:42.248
First class.

0:14:42.248,0:14:50.422
He eats like a horse, doesn't he?

0:14:50.422,0:15:11.277
No wonder we're old now.

0:15:11.277,0:15:18.183
It must have been hard[br]raising him all these years.

0:15:18.183,0:15:29.161
I don't mind hardship[br]as long as it's for his sake.

0:15:29.161,0:15:36.535
He still thinks his father's dead,[br]doesn't he?

0:15:36.535,0:15:45.077
He thinks his father[br]was a civil servant.

0:15:45.077,0:15:50.816
Aren't you Ionely?

0:15:50.816,0:15:56.889
No use complaining[br]about Ioneliness.

0:15:56.889,0:16:06.732
Let him go on thinking[br]his father is dead.

0:16:06.732,0:16:19.178
He wouldn't want[br]a no-good father like me.

0:16:19.178,0:16:39.732
He has a great future ahead of him.

0:16:39.732,0:16:44.636
Dace are in season.

0:16:44.636,0:16:52.044
Want to go fishing with me?

0:16:52.044,0:17:24.076
Some fish move slowly,[br]so you've got a chance.

0:17:24.076,0:17:28.414
How long will you stay this time?

0:17:28.414,0:17:37.089
It depends on the audience.[br]I'd like to stay a year.

0:17:37.089,0:17:44.296
I think I'll go to the show tonight.

0:17:44.296,0:17:50.502
Our show isn't for you.

0:17:50.502,0:17:58.343
You're a student.[br]Your job is to study.

0:17:58.343,0:18:35.848
If it were summer vacation,[br]I'd travel with you.

0:18:35.848,0:18:41.920
Much in it?

0:18:41.920,0:18:48.260
I doubt it.[br]It's floating, so no heavy coins.

0:18:48.260,0:18:55.601
Did you ever think[br]it might be stuffed with bills?

0:18:55.601,0:19:28.033
You never had any bills.

0:19:28.033,0:19:35.707
Let's rehearse again[br]before the boss comes back.

0:19:35.707,0:20:36.034
No matter how great the actor,[br]it's hard to play the horse.

0:20:36.034,0:21:40.666
Look, the woman seated[br]in the second row isn't bad.

0:21:40.666,0:22:02.287
Finally!

0:22:02.287,0:23:58.870
Where's the dog?

0:23:58.870,0:24:04.509
It's pouring.

0:24:04.509,0:24:53.225
Rain's really the end[br]for traveling actors.

0:24:53.225,0:25:19.251
I'm sorry it's become such a mess.

0:25:19.251,0:25:24.823
It's been raining for days.

0:25:24.823,0:25:30.262
We had long rains earlier,[br]in Takasaki.

0:25:30.262,0:25:32.297
The radio says that

0:25:32.297,0:25:44.843
it'll rain[br]for another four or five days.

0:25:44.843,0:25:52.117
I wish I had[br]some really good tempura.

0:25:52.117,0:25:59.357
I want some sake[br]with roasted eel.

0:25:59.357,0:27:01.853
You got a smoke?

0:27:01.853,0:27:08.727
You stole my money,[br]didn't you, Pop?

0:27:08.727,0:28:02.313
My kitty bank was facing[br]the other way before.

0:28:02.313,0:28:12.323
The boss is really something.

0:28:12.323,0:28:19.397
We've got this crisis,[br]and he's out drinking every day.

0:28:19.397,0:28:55.166
He has to,[br]as long as he stays here.

0:28:55.166,0:29:08.613
You said an odd thing just now.

0:29:08.613,0:29:20.291
It sounded like some kind of secret.

0:29:20.291,0:30:17.015
I wouldn't mention your name.

0:30:17.015,0:30:30.929
It's fun to checkmate.

0:30:30.929,0:30:58.756
Check the king, not the father.

0:30:58.756,0:31:10.068
You're finished, Uncle.

0:31:10.068,0:31:23.648
I lost again.

0:31:23.648,0:31:29.621
You've turned into[br]a good chess player.

0:31:29.621,0:32:13.498
When you play the hero of <i>Konjiki,</i>[br]I'll lend you my cap.

0:32:13.498,0:32:56.240
Give me a drink.

0:32:56.240,0:33:33.111
Thank you for taking care[br]of the master every day.

0:33:33.111,0:34:01.105
Somebody wants you.

0:34:01.105,0:34:06.911
What brings you here?

0:34:06.911,0:34:13.951
What do you think?

0:34:13.951,0:34:24.629
Is she the patron you had to see?

0:34:24.629,0:34:52.223
I should thank her too, then.

0:34:52.223,0:35:22.753
Go home, Otoki.

0:35:22.753,0:35:34.866
You must be happy[br]to have such a nice son.

0:35:34.866,0:35:40.238
How old are you?

0:35:40.238,0:35:54.085
What does your father do?

0:35:54.085,0:36:04.095
No need to get upset.

0:36:04.095,0:36:32.290
I have something to tell[br]the madame and her son.

0:36:32.290,0:36:39.063
That's none of your business.

0:36:39.063,0:36:50.942
What's wrong with me seeing[br]my own son?

0:36:50.942,0:36:58.249
You can't talk to me that way.

0:36:58.249,0:37:03.988
Have you forgotten[br]what happened in Takasaki?

0:37:03.988,0:37:14.832
Who do you think got you[br]out of trouble back then?

0:37:14.832,0:37:24.508
Who do you think asked[br]the big shots in town for help?

0:37:24.508,0:37:30.348
Don't think you can[br]just walk out on me.

0:37:30.348,0:37:39.290
All right, we're through[br]as of now!

0:37:39.290,0:37:50.534
Don't ever come here again,[br]or I'll never forgive you.

0:37:50.534,0:38:21.499
My son belongs[br]to a better world than yours.

0:38:21.499,0:38:29.774
Is that fuss during the day[br]still bothering you? It's not like you.

0:38:29.774,0:38:37.214
The boss gets mad so easily.[br]I thought you were used to it.

0:38:37.214,0:38:43.921
I know.[br]I'd already forgotten about it.

0:38:43.921,0:39:04.041
I'm glad. I was worried[br]because you seemed down.

0:39:04.041,0:39:11.215
I have a favor to ask you.

0:39:11.215,0:39:17.555
Try to seduce that boy[br]who was at the restaurant today.

0:39:17.555,0:39:23.828
I'm not interested in children.

0:39:23.828,0:39:51.522
You'd be doing me a favor.

0:39:51.522,0:39:57.461
Try.

0:39:57.461,0:40:02.266
Why?

0:40:02.266,0:40:14.445
Take it or leave it.

0:40:14.445,0:40:20.184
You really think I could?

0:40:20.184,0:40:23.988
Bat your eyes and you could catch[br]any man you wanted.

0:40:23.988,0:41:48.973
Just turn on the charm.

0:41:48.973,0:41:58.816
We met yesterday.

0:41:58.816,0:42:10.761
I have something to tell you.

0:42:10.761,0:42:19.637
I'll be waiting here[br]after the show tonight.

0:42:19.637,0:43:48.759
I don't know if I can.

0:43:48.759,0:44:43.781
I'm going to take a walk, Mother.

0:44:43.781,0:44:52.456
Are you angry[br]because I asked you to meet me?

0:44:52.456,0:45:01.999
I wanted to see you.

0:45:01.999,0:46:17.241
Don't you like talking with girls?

0:46:17.241,0:47:26.877
How was it?

0:47:26.877,0:47:31.882
I wish a peach[br]would come bobbing downstream.

0:47:31.882,0:47:52.069
Bringing us good fortune,[br]just like in the fairy tales.

0:47:52.069,0:48:02.079
Otoki isn't around.

0:48:02.079,0:48:08.986
She goes out a lot these days.

0:48:08.986,0:48:45.522
Where does she go, anyway?

0:48:45.522,0:48:53.630
We're going to have to part soon.

0:48:53.630,0:49:03.340
What will we be doing[br]this time next year?

0:49:03.340,0:49:15.018
But let's not think[br]about a silly thing like that.

0:49:15.018,0:49:24.194
Why don't we tell[br]my mother about us?

0:49:24.194,0:49:35.939
I'm sure she'll help us.

0:49:35.939,0:49:40.444
I'm not the girl you think.

0:49:40.444,0:49:52.522
I'm not worthy of a man like you.

0:49:52.522,0:49:59.229
I tried to make[br]a fool of you at first.

0:49:59.229,0:50:11.108
It started that way, but...

0:50:11.108,0:50:28.658
Never mind how it started.

0:50:28.658,0:51:16.106
Don't get mixed up[br]with a traveling player like me.

0:51:16.106,0:51:26.817
He's been out every night this week.

0:51:26.817,0:51:29.653
I'm going to have to leave soon.

0:51:29.653,0:51:42.799
I want to see him[br]as often as I can.

0:51:42.799,0:51:49.072
You must be careful.

0:51:49.072,0:51:54.244
About that woman.

0:51:54.244,0:52:00.650
Her? I have no excuse.

0:52:00.650,0:52:09.359
Don't take it wrong. I'm too old[br]to be jealous. I'd be embarrassed.

0:52:09.359,0:54:17.220
It'd be awful if she told[br]Shinkichi the truth.

0:54:17.220,0:54:35.872
Where the hell have you been?

0:54:35.872,0:54:44.581
What's that boy to you?

0:54:44.581,0:54:52.088
Is it for money?

0:54:52.088,0:55:01.398
Is that what you think?

0:55:01.398,0:55:10.106
I wouldn't blame you.

0:55:10.106,0:55:17.681
Otaka, too,[br]offered me money at first.

0:55:17.681,0:55:22.385
What did she want?

0:55:22.385,0:55:32.862
She wanted me to seduce him.

0:55:32.862,0:55:40.704
But now it's not for money.[br]I love him.

0:55:40.704,0:55:48.244
I want Otaka here.

0:55:48.244,0:56:47.937
I'll speak with you later.

0:56:47.937,0:56:58.515
You sent for me?[br]What do you want?

0:56:58.515,0:57:04.654
What did you plan[br]to do with my son?

0:57:04.654,0:57:21.204
Who cares about your son?

0:57:21.204,0:57:54.337
He's cheap, like you,[br]playing around with actresses.

0:57:54.337,0:58:06.349
Are you sorry?

0:58:06.349,0:58:15.225
I hope you'll be very sorry.

0:58:15.225,0:58:17.160
The world is like a lottery.

0:58:17.160,0:58:27.070
You take your ups and your downs.

0:58:27.070,0:58:35.311
Let's make up, please?

0:58:35.311,0:58:43.319
This makes us even, you see.

0:58:43.319,0:59:08.645
Just think how I feel.

0:59:08.645,0:59:12.248
Where's Otoki?

0:59:12.248,0:59:55.625
Looks like she just stepped out.

0:59:55.625,1:00:00.396
Is Shinkichi in?

1:00:00.396,1:00:07.637
You mean you didn't send for him?

1:00:07.637,1:00:37.200
He just went out[br]with that girl from your troupe.

1:00:37.200,1:00:46.175
This is terrible.

1:00:46.175,1:03:22.532
I'm afraid I've let Shinkichi[br]ruin his future.

1:03:22.532,1:03:34.844
We'll give you this much[br]for everything.

1:03:34.844,1:04:28.631
All right.[br]It's enough to pay them off.

1:04:28.631,1:04:36.305
We've been together[br]for a long time, Master.

1:04:36.305,1:04:40.910
Where will you go, Kichi?

1:04:40.910,1:04:52.021
To Ueda.[br]I have family there.

1:04:52.021,1:05:01.130
I'll go back to working[br]at the butcher's shop.

1:05:01.130,1:05:09.372
Get a steady job.[br]That's the best.

1:05:09.372,1:05:22.051
I'm sick of show business.

1:05:22.051,1:05:59.689
It's our last night.[br]Go on, make up with Otaka.

1:05:59.689,1:06:09.999
Let's enjoy ourselves[br]before we break up.

1:06:09.999,1:09:13.949
Sing, will you, Otaka?

1:09:13.949,1:09:39.875
My troupe's finally disbanded.

1:09:39.875,1:09:52.054
No word from Shinkichi yet?

1:09:52.054,1:10:02.431
Like father, like son.[br]So fast with the girls.

1:10:02.431,1:10:07.503
I'm finished this time.

1:10:07.503,1:10:13.943
I'll fix you a drink.

1:10:13.943,1:10:24.453
No sake for me.

1:10:24.453,1:10:31.760
Then you won't travel anymore?

1:10:31.760,1:10:43.772
You can stay as long as you like.

1:10:43.772,1:10:54.216
Shinkichi is old enough to know by now.[br]He'll understand.

1:10:54.216,1:11:01.290
He'll be back sometime or other.

1:11:01.290,1:11:11.133
Let's live together like a family.

1:11:11.133,1:11:24.847
It isn't good[br]to be alone all the time.

1:11:24.847,1:11:30.085
Let's have a drink.

1:11:30.085,1:12:05.587
Thank you for everything.

1:12:05.587,1:12:40.122
When did you get back?

1:12:40.122,1:12:44.660
Where have you been?

1:12:44.660,1:12:55.104
Why act like nothing's happened?

1:12:55.104,1:13:07.916
Forgive me, Master.

1:13:07.916,1:13:17.126
She apologized.[br]Why hit her?

1:13:17.126,1:13:20.095
You're to blame, too.

1:13:20.095,1:13:51.360
Don't you know[br]your mother worries about you?

1:13:51.360,1:13:59.067
What are you doing?

1:13:59.067,1:14:08.477
Who do you think he is?

1:14:08.477,1:14:25.427
The man you hit just now[br]is your father.

1:14:25.427,1:14:31.400
I have no father like him.

1:14:31.400,1:14:41.610
My father was a civil servant.[br]He's dead.

1:14:41.610,1:14:43.946
If my father were alive,

1:14:43.946,1:14:56.258
he'd never have abandoned us[br]for 20 years.

1:14:56.258,1:15:07.069
All these years it's just been us.[br]Right, Mother?

1:15:07.069,1:15:14.810
No father could be that selfish.

1:15:14.810,1:15:22.951
What if, out of respect for his son,[br]he couldn't call himself father?

1:15:22.951,1:15:33.262
He didn't want you to be[br]a traveling actor like him.

1:15:33.262,1:15:41.303
He wanted you to have[br]an education and a good job.

1:15:41.303,1:15:52.514
That's why he had to lie[br]and live in Ioneliness.

1:15:52.514,1:15:54.583
He's been poor,

1:15:54.583,1:16:02.591
but wherever he was,[br]he always paid for your schooling.

1:16:02.591,1:16:27.349
Aren't you sorry for striking[br]such a considerate father?

1:16:27.349,1:16:32.621
I'm sorry.

1:16:32.621,1:16:46.835
I didn't know.

1:16:46.835,1:16:59.247
My son has been to school.[br]His words make sense.

1:16:59.247,1:17:04.019
I abandoned him,[br]and now I call myself his father.

1:17:04.019,1:17:34.182
It's natural for him to object.

1:17:34.182,1:17:41.289
I'll go away again.

1:17:41.289,1:17:55.237
Shinkichi has accepted you[br]in his heart.

1:17:55.237,1:18:03.578
I don't want him[br]to feel awkward because of me.

1:18:03.578,1:18:16.625
Let me go as the usual carefree uncle[br]one last time.

1:18:16.625,1:18:25.934
I'll start up in business again.[br]If I do well, I'll return.

1:18:25.934,1:18:40.248
I'll be a great actor[br]so Shinkichi won't be ashamed of me.

1:18:40.248,1:18:52.327
And you can thank me[br]with a curtain call.

1:18:52.327,1:18:59.367
Will you take me with you?

1:18:59.367,1:19:09.444
I don't want to leave[br]without returning your kindness.

1:19:09.444,1:19:23.859
I'll work hard.[br]I'll start a new life.

1:19:23.859,1:19:33.869
Did you hear that?[br]How sweet!

1:19:33.869,1:19:49.684
Will you take care of her?

1:19:49.684,1:20:01.696
She's a good, gentle girl.

1:20:01.696,1:20:08.170
I'm sorry for hitting you.

1:20:08.170,1:20:47.709
Help my son become a great man.

1:20:47.709,1:21:03.325
Uncle?

1:21:03.325,1:21:08.463
Where is Uncle?

1:21:08.463,1:21:14.769
You mean Father?

1:21:14.769,1:21:24.279
He went on the road again.

1:21:24.279,1:21:31.753
Don't try to stop him.

1:21:31.753,1:21:42.197
Just be a great man.[br]That's all he wants.

1:21:42.197,1:21:46.101
Since you were born,[br]he's been coming here

1:21:46.101,1:24:00.935
with that one hope in mind.

1:24:00.935,1:24:06.841
Where are you going?

1:24:06.841,1:24:16.618
Kamisuwa.

1:24:16.618,1:24:21.623
And you?

1:24:21.623,1:24:33.835
No place in particular.

1:24:33.835,1:24:45.547
How about organizing[br]a new troupe with me?

1:24:45.547,1:24:58.693
I don't know if I can pull it off.

1:24:58.693,1:26:03.958
One more to Kamisuwa.

1:26:03.958,0:00:00.500
