were taken to Yanaka's graveyard.

Let's go there and find out.

Thank you.

Can you serve me some tea?

You brute!

Get her!

Reiko!

Can you see me, Reiko?

Don't move!

Are you in pain?

No, I'm fine.

It's my fault.

I left you alone.

No.

I was not cautious enough.

The doctor came.

And my uncle has stayed with

you all this time.

Thank you very much.

You must be very hungry.

You slept for three days.

It's good.

You will be fine.

I made turtle soup.

It will make you feel better.

Let's warm it up for you.

It's good to know that

you want to eat

I have to show you

how to prepare her medication.

I hate to tell you this.

It will be difficult.

I fear that...

before tomorrow...

I'm sorry!

Darling!

Are you thirsty?

Darling.

I am sorry.

What are you saying?

When I was lost in my dreams,

I looked for

things to tell you.

But finally,

I couldn't come up with anything.

Reiko...

We were only married

for a short time,

but it seems as if

we've been together

for thirty years.

Or even forty.

That's what I feel.

Please,

help me sit up.

You mustn't.

Please, help me sit up.

The windows...

Open them so that I can see the garden.

No you mustn't.

You'd catch cold.

It's all right.

You can let go.

More...

Open it wider, I want

to see everything.

Oh, such a nice breeze...

Are you all right?

I wanted to see this garden

where I lived...

with you.

Darling,

I was happy.

So happy.

They've got the murderer.

Take him away!

Who are you?

Sugi!

Hachiro!

Your arm looks very bad.

The gangrene will kill you.

I'll take care of you.

You see what I mean?

Do what's best.

Stretch out your arm.

What is it?

This man is the landlord.

I'm Satsuma's Nakamura Hanjiro.

Was this man in the

house all the time?

This man

has been sick in

bed for a long time.

Pour un malade, il sortait souvent.

He is the one we were looking for.

He killed many men of mine.

When he realized that he would

be caught, he committed seppuku.

He is Shinsengumi's Okita Soji.

He was a fearsome warrior.

No wonder he killed so many.

Very well, we don't have to look

any further for his killer.

Let's go!

Hey you, landlord!

Did you give this man

lodgings not knowing he was

a Shinsengumi member?

Yes.

If you dldn't know about hlm,

we'll let you go free.

Just lay him to rest peacefully.

Yes, sir! I will do that!

All right. Let it be this way!

It was so good.

You ate well.

You've got no fever any more.

In two days'time, you'll be all right.

You saved my life.

Thank you.

I can say this now...

I felt so sorry for myself for awhile,

thinking I would die

in this seedy hut.

Well, I can go back to work now.

No way.

You won't do this.

I'll take you back to Tsuya-san.

You have to start your

new life with her.

May be...

You're right.

Of course.

The samurai lifestyle of killing

each other with swords is over!

My sword

has killed many to avenge Reiko.

And to sac

And to save you,

I used it to cut off your arm.

I've thought about it a lot.

I shouldn't use this sword

to kill anyone ever again for

any kind of reason!

Satsuma's Hanjiro,

You, Tokugawa's lba

and Shinsengumi's Okita

Individually, each of you is a good person,

but you wound up fighting

against each other.

What made you do that?

Why couldn't you stop that?

It's true.

If instead of being born

in a samurai family.

I was born in a doctor's

or a farmer's family,

my life would've been different.

I will bring you water.

Hachiro...

you have to be reborn!

You understand?

Lba-san...

Towards Hakodate

Enomoto Takeakl,

chief-admiral of the Shogun's navy

rfound refuge in the North

with his ships in november 1868.

Someone came to tell me that Hachiro...

had joined the Shogun's fleet

at Hakodate,

and that he died

with the last Shogun's soldiers.

When did he die?

In the morning...

of the 12th of may.

That's over six months ago.

That morning

...as he bent over...

...to wash his face...

gunfire was heard...

and he was found there,

his body lying on the ground.

And...

he never got up any more.

It was a lost bullet.

I was told that

it went through his throat

and killed him,

as if someone had aimed.

I was also told

That Hachiro had only one arm

when he was in Hakodate.

Even if...

he didn't have his two arms,

I would have liked him...

to come back alive.

Tsuya-san...

During these troubled times,

I've lost many good friends

And now,

my best friend Hachiro-San too

The age of fighting with swords

is really over.

And will never come back, I hope!

A new age...

has already started.

Tsuya-san.

For Hachiro-san's sake

you must continue living.

Me too,

I'll try my best to go on living.

Tokyo 1873

Army Captain

Kirino Toshiaki

Hey you!

Taking a leak

in the street is forbidden.

You again!

You know you're not allowed

to do this.

How many times do I

have to tell you?

I'm sorry.

I can't stop now because

I've already started.

"After watering the tree,

he goes back to his love."

He's gone.

Call that woman.

I have to speak to her.

Hurry up! Stupid!

It's an order.

Just a momen lady!

Wait for me!

Captain Kirino wants to speak to you.

I don't know him.

Please!

I'm Hanjiro! Oshuni-san!

Hide! Oshuni-san!

People today do not know

how to handle a geisha.

They behave like brutes.

Like country people

from the soouthern clans.

I miss the old days of Edo.

People were elegant and had taste.

They knew how to have good fun

with a Geisha

I'm going to the barber's.

To have my moustache trimmed.

Welcome.

Hanjiro-san, is that you?

Sugi-dono...

What a nice moustache!

I didn't recognize you.

I'm now Kirino Toshiaki,

an Army captain.

And a Court Martial Judge.

Oh, what a great promotion!

Please have a seat.

I pass by here all the time,

and I always wanted to come in.

But I did not know it was your place.

But since I know you, I can't

let you shave my mustache.

No, it's alright.

This is my job now.

All right, I'll have a seat.

Today is a strange day.

This morning, I ran into the nun.

You had not seen her

since those days in Kyoto?

No. She had a new hair-style

and was beautifully dressed.

Good.

I'm glad she survived

to the chaos.

That's right.

I will see her tonight.

Why don't you come with me?

Oshuni-san will be happy to see you.

I see. That's why you want to

trim your mustache.

Yes, kind of.

You know, hair cutting is a

modern business now,

but to me a barber is still a barber.

Excuse-me to say so but, in fact,

You could have some other

way to become successful

if you let me help you.

Thank you but

I don't want to be successful.

Why not?

Since the government subsidized

getting rid of the samurai hair-style,

everybody is now equal.

So I want to forget my

former life as a samurai.

I see all sorts of people.

I started a new life.

Is that so?

The samurai have disappeared

but politics has not changed.

They didn't change anything to

make it a better world.

Oh, what harsh words.
