to Ushitora at gambling.

520

01:
03:50,118 -- 01:03:54,538

If she were ugly,

he'd only have lost his house.

521

01:
03:54,706 -- 01:03:59,376

But old Tokuemon

was drooling all over her.

522

01:
03:59,544 -- 01:04:03,088

Ushitora saw a chance

to draw Tokuemon to his side.

523

01:
04:03,340 -- 01:04:09,220

He took the wife and house

and dangled them in front of Tokuemon.

524

01:
04:09,888 -- 01:04:13,766

This poor fool built a hut

right next to his former house

525

01:
04:14,017 -- 01:04:19,522

just so he could watch helplessly

as Tokuemon ravishes his wife every day.

526

01:
04:19,981 -- 01:04:23,484

I don't want her anymore!

I gave her up for good!

527

01:
04:24,194 -- 01:04:26,946

Then why the heartbroken look?

528

01:
04:35,080 -- 01:04:36,705

Going home?

529

01:
04:37,707 -- 01:04:43,379

Won't you get beaten up?

Weren't you told not to see her?

530

01:
04:43,547 -- 01:04:45,548

I'm used to it.

531

01:
04:46,049 -- 01:04:47,841

I don't mind.

532

01:
04:58,562 -- 01:05:02,398

Ushitora has his men

watching over her.

533

01:
05:02,566 -- 01:05:04,650

She can't even see her son.

534

01:
05:07,779 -- 01:05:09,572

Good-bye.

535

01:
05:13,451 -- 01:05:16,662

Guys like that make me sick!

536

01:
05:58,496 -- 01:06:01,874

I've decided

to be your bodyguard.

537

01:
06:02,042 -- 01:06:03,751

You have my gratitude.

538

01:
06:05,837 -- 01:06:07,880

I want 30 in advance.

539

01:
06:08,798 -- 01:06:12,593

That's a steep price.

I'd refuse if I were you.

540

01:
06:12,761 -- 01:06:15,512

But he's so tough!

541

01:
06:19,017 -- 01:06:20,392

Tougher than this?

542

01:
06:20,560 -- 01:06:24,938

Don't say that, Uno.

If I refuse, he'll go to Seibei.

543

01:
06:25,106 -- 01:06:26,774

That would be bad!

544

01:
06:29,027 -- 01:06:30,736

Buy him then.

545

01:
06:34,658 -- 01:06:36,659

Here. Thirty ryo.

546

01:
06:40,330 -- 01:06:42,873

Thirty more when we win.

547

01:
06:43,041 -- 01:06:45,000

Of course.

You have my word.

548

01:
06:45,168 -- 01:06:49,338

If that's settled, let's drink to it.

To our partnership!

549

01:
06:49,589 -- 01:06:53,008

Fine, but is the woman safe?

550

01:
06:53,218 -- 01:06:54,551

What woman?

551

01:
06:54,719 -- 01:06:56,679

Tokuemon's woman.

552

01:
06:56,846 -- 01:07:00,015

If they get her again,

you'll lose for sure.

553

01:
07:00,183 -- 01:07:03,268

Don't worry.

I've got six roughnecks on watch.

554

01:
07:03,436 -- 01:07:05,562

That's not enough.

555

01:
07:05,730 -- 01:07:08,357

You need at least one

as tough as this guy.

556

01:
07:10,360 -- 01:07:12,236

Brother, should I go?

557

01:
07:13,905 -- 01:07:17,366

I'll go along

and see how they're doing.

558

01:
07:17,534 -- 01:07:18,826

Thanks.

559

01:
07:21,413 -- 01:07:23,288

It ain't a fun job.

560

01:
07:24,207 -- 01:07:28,210

You gotta stand in the cold

when Tokuemon comes around.

561

01:
07:31,631 -- 01:07:33,590

He doesn't seem

to be here now.

562

01:
07:37,429 -- 01:07:39,722

Is that where the jackass

who lost his wife lives?

563

01:
07:39,889 -- 01:07:42,975

I almost forgot!

I gotta beat him up!

564

01:
07:47,063 -- 01:07:48,564

Hey, you!

565

01:
07:48,732 -- 01:07:52,025

Hanging around

Tokuemon's woman, huh?

566

01:
07:52,277 -- 01:07:55,821

How many times

we gotta tell you not to see her?

567

01:
07:57,282 -- 01:08:00,284

Ino, there's trouble!

Everyone's dead!

568

01:
08:01,202 -- 01:08:05,080

All six men have been killed!

Tell Ushitora, quick!

569

01:
08:12,130 -- 01:08:13,088

Who's there?

570

01:
08:28,229 -- 01:08:29,980

Get your husband and run!

571

01:
08:36,654 -- 01:08:38,113

Idiot!

572

01:
08:43,244 -- 01:08:44,661

Mommy!

573

01:
08:48,458 -- 01:08:50,292

Nui!

574

01:
08:51,002 -- 01:08:52,795

Run for it!

575

01:
08:53,004 -- 01:08:55,422

Here's 30 ryo.

I stole it from Ushitora.

576

01:
08:55,590 -- 01:08:57,299

Take it.

577

01:
10:24,512 -- 01:10:26,013

You idiots!

578

01:
10:26,180 -- 01:10:27,598

What are you waiting for?

579

01:
10:33,271 -- 01:10:34,688

Stop that!

580

01:
10:35,148 -- 01:10:38,775

I hate pathetic weaklings!

Start crying and I'll kill you!

581

01:
10:42,196 -- 01:10:43,780

Ushitora's coming!

582

01:
10:47,118 -- 01:10:48,118

Get lost!

583

01:
10:48,620 -- 01:10:49,953

We'll thank you later.

584

01:
10:50,121 -- 01:10:52,456

Idiot! Don't ever come back here!

585

01:
10:53,124 -- 01:10:54,791

Thank you.

586

01:
10:55,627 -- 01:10:57,210

Thank you.

587

01:
11:08,473 -- 01:11:11,183

- What happened?

- Take a look.

588

01:
11:20,777 -- 01:11:22,444

What a mess.

589

01:
11:26,324 -- 01:11:27,991

Didn't I tell you?

590

01:
11:29,410 -- 01:11:31,662

Six men weren't enough.

591

01:
11:36,793 -- 01:11:40,504

Must have been

15 or 16 men.

592

01:
11:46,177 -- 01:11:47,552

Where's the wench?

593

01:
11:47,720 -- 01:11:49,179

Gone, of course.

594

01:
11:50,348 -- 01:11:52,349

Seibei's pretty clever.

595

01:
11:56,604 -- 01:11:58,188

Brother!

596

01:
12:00,024 -- 01:12:03,068

Son of a b*tch!

597

01:
12:08,700 -- 01:12:12,452

My silk's burning!

Please put out the fire!

598

01:
12:12,620 -- 01:12:14,705

I'll give you anything!

599

01:
12:16,040 -- 01:12:18,000

Don't move!

600

01:
12:23,798 -- 01:12:25,716

Hand over the wench

and we'll save the shop!

601

01:
12:26,259 -- 01:12:28,051

What wench?

602

01:
12:28,553 -- 01:12:30,887

Don't play dumb!

Give her back or else!

603

01:
12:31,639 -- 01:12:33,640

- What are you talking about?

- Shut up!

604

01:
12:59,083 -- 01:13:04,129

My sake's pouring out!

605

01:
13:04,297 -- 01:13:06,965

Do something!

606

01:
13:14,390 -- 01:13:16,933

Stop up the holes!

607

01:
13:19,562 -- 01:13:21,563

I'll give you anything!

608

01:
13:30,531 -- 01:13:32,991

Help!

609

01:
13:38,790 -- 01:13:41,124

This is Seibei's doing!

610

01:
13:44,253 -- 01:13:46,296

Come with me, men!

611

01:
14:39,225 -- 01:14:43,270

What happened?

Why so glum?

612

01:
14:45,523 -- 01:14:47,482

Your business should be booming.

613

01:
14:47,650 -- 01:14:48,859

No.

614

01:
14:49,026 -- 01:14:53,363

When the fighting gets this bad,

they don't bother with coffins.

615

01:
15:10,840 -- 01:15:12,174

Another bottle.

616

01:
15:12,341 -- 01:15:13,758

Comin' right up.

617

01:
15:14,468 -- 01:15:16,928

You're unusually friendly today.

What's going on?

618

01:
15:20,016 -- 01:15:21,892

Gives me the creeps.

619

01:
15:23,352 -- 01:15:26,605

Aren't you angry that I became

Ushitora's bodyguard?

620

01:
15:26,772 -- 01:15:28,481

Not at all.

621

01:
15:33,487 -- 01:15:35,739

You're not a bad guy

after all.

622

01:
15:36,407 -- 01:15:37,866

What?

623

01:
15:38,701 -- 01:15:43,747

You're not really bad.

You just pretend to be.

624

01:
15:43,915 -- 01:15:46,416

He came by last night.

625

01:
15:46,584 -- 01:15:47,667

Who?

626

01:
15:47,835 -- 01:15:50,921

The man who makes you sick.

627

01:
15:51,964 -- 01:15:55,425

He told me everything.
