But, darling...

...I'm sure he'll come back

He's not a bad boy

He'll come back

Think so?

You think he'll come home?

What if he won't?

I know, yes...

...I know

But young people today

are so rash and reckless

He'll come back

He's bound to come

Listen

When he comes home,

why don't you settle down?

Darling, tell Kiyoshi the truth

He's old enough to understand

He'll find out one day

He's bound to find out in the end

Had we told him before,

this wouldn't have happened

Please. Tell him everything

I beg you to. Tell him

And make this place my home?

I wish you would

- Shall we?

- Will you?

Thank you. Very much!

He'll be delighted

But...

...where can he be now?

Do you want a drink?

- Why not?

- I'll make it hot

Here he is!

Where have you been?

Answer her

I want you to meet someone

What is it?

Why, you!

How dare you show up here?

You fool!

I'm sorry, Master

I'm the one who's sorry. You slut!

Don't, Uncle

She's apologizing

What?

How dare you

worry Mother like this?

Don't scold him so

Shut up!

They're gluttons for punishment!

- Slut!

- Stop, Uncle

Don't! Please!

Stop!

- What?

- What!

Do you know who this is?

He's your father. Your real father

Apologize to him!

I see. Just...

...as I thought

Mother...

...you told me my father had died

when I was a baby

I believed it. I still believe it

I don't want a father at all

Not in my life

Listen...

...he didn't want you to know...

...that you were

an itinerant player's son

How come? Why?

He wanted you to study hard...

...and become somebody

So he worked hard...

...and remitted

your schooling expenses

That's enough

- Stop it

- But...

Say, Uncle...

...why show up all of a sudden?

Mother. Tell me that now?

You two are selfish

I don't want a father

Go away

Out with you!

Get going!

Forgive me

I knew nothing about it

I'm afraid he's right

Very natural, too

One can't suddenly

show up out of nowhere...

...and exert parental authority

But, darling...

...why talk like that?

On second thought,

I decided not to settle down

It would be better...

...much better for us all

But Kiyoshi isn't

mad at you any longer

You see...

...I'm going to turn a new leaf

Let me part tonight

as his uncle, as before

Next time I come back here...

...I'll be a good actor

he can be proud of

Let me look forward to such a day

Yes, such a day will come

But, darling...

Then celebrate my success

and rejoice for me

Master

Take me with you

I'll work hard to help you

I can't part with you like this!

Please

Master, I'm begging you...

...take me with you

Please!

Did you hear her?

Very pathetic of her

Be good enough

to look after her as well

I'm sorry I scolded you

Forgive me

Help Kiyoshi to make good

I'm counting on you

You understand? Oblige me

Kiyoshi!

Kiyoshi!

Kiyoshi!

Kiyoshi! The Master!

Go see him!

Hurry up!

See him! Hurry up!

Will you hurry!

Where's Uncle? Where is he?

What's happened to Uncle?

Your father?

He's left for the road

Kiyoshi!

Don't stop him

Leave him alone

Each time Father

came to this town...

...since you were a baby...

...he left this place

with such a sentiment

It's all right...

...only if you can become

somebody in life

Where are you going, Master?

Give me a light

Tell me...

...where are you going?

I'm at a loss where to go now

Do you have a plan?

You do? Tell me

Where are you going?

Kuwana Town

Which impresario?

Mr. Kaneyoshi may

give me a chance, I think

Good!

Can I go with you?

I happen to know

Mr. Kaneyoshi very well

You don't want me to go with you?

I'm taking a chance

Shall we try?

Yes, let's try. Good idea

Shall we?

Sure. Yes, let's try

Very good!

Two tickets to Kuwana

Don't forget your baggage

How do you like it?
