Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan (Ghost Story of Yotsuya) Page #3

I can't breathe! I'm dizzy!

Get me some water!

Water...

More water!

Missus... here's your water.

Is something wrong?

No!

Is this...

...is this me?!

Takuetsu!

You did this!

No! It wasn't me!

Iemon planned all this so

he could marry Ito's daughter!

He said he'd reward me...

...if I seduced you!

Iemon?!

Takuetsu!

Missus, wait! I didn't do anything!

Missus!

Takuetsu!

My little boy!

Oh, hateful Iemon!

How could you be so cruel...

...to one who never

sinned against you!

You poor child! How could I

leave you to a man like that?

Die with your Mother!

I could never enter paradise

if I left you behind.

Iemon, you heartless

and cold-blooded brute...

...do you think I will leave you

with this debt unpaid?!

Iemon!

Why are you rushing away?

Did you do it?

No!

I didn't do anything.

Don't hide it.

She's still a samurai wife.

For someone of your caste,

the thrill of a lifetime.

A monster like that?

Takuetsu!

Did you stab her?

Of course not!

She did that with a razor!

Whatever.

But Takuetsu...

...you know what samurai

do to adulterers, don't you?

Sir! I didn't do anything!

Naosuke!

You finally did it!

Naosuke...

...pull off one of the shutters.

We'll nail them onto it.

The law says I can lay them

together and cut them in half.

No one will say anything.

We'd better hurry.

Tonight's your wedding.

All right, let's go!

Chief! What's wrong?

We're not poor anymore.

Tonight's a great night!

There's nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't expect you

to know how I feel.

'On Takasago Beach...

'... raise the sail...

'... of your ship...

'... and with the ebbing tide

run with the moon... '

You must be tired.

Will you have some tea?

Thank you.

Come and change.

Iemon...

How could you give me...

...poison to drink?

I will visit my hatred on you.

Be sure of that.

What's wrong?

Why did you shout?

I'll sleep alone tonight.

What is it?

A snake!

There's nothing to be

afraid of now, Ume.

Oh, Iemon!

Ume, do you still have to

act so shy with me?

Iemon...

...what did I ever do

to wrong you?

You! You're dead!

Ume!

Ume!

Iemon? Sir?

Is anything wrong?

May I come in?

Iemon!

Damn you, Iwa!

Iemon?

Iemon?

Takuetsu!

Sir!

There's hair caught in this...

that's disgusting!

A comb! This looks like

tortoise-shell!

What's this around my feet?

Someone could still wear this...

Catching any eels, Naosuke?

Hello, Chief. Going fishing?

I need a change.

Do you think it's safe for you

to leave the temple?

I feel like I'm suffocating

in there.

Going already?

If I stir up the mud chasing eels

I'll scare off the other fish.

I thought I'd go home

and have some fun with Sode.

If you'll excuse me...

Iwa! Do you haunt me still?!

Iemon...

...I will make an end

to the blood...

...of the Tamiya name!

Go to hell!

Takuetsu!

Pay what you owe me.

Takuetsu! You, too?!

Do you never stop?!

That's awful!

You scared me! What's wrong?

Two corpses turned up

in the river at Mannen Bridge!

Corpses?

A man and a woman.

They were nailed to a shutter.

What's wrong?!

The bucket's full of snakes!

There's no snakes here...

This comb...

Where did you get it?

At the Potter's Field

in Kamimura. Why?

This is my sister's!

It was Mother's...

Don't be stupid!

There's lots of combs like that.

No. This comb is my sister's.

And this kimono is hers, too.

I'm sure of it!

What if something's

happened to her?

Iwa!

How did you find us so late,

and in this back street?

Come in!

We were talking about you!

I'm so glad you're here!

And so relieved you're safe!

This is your comb, isn't it?

I knew it!

Forgive me!

Forgive me!

It was Iemon Tamiya

who killed your father...

...and Yomoshichi's!

He's at Zuishoji Temple

at Snake Mountain!

Forgive me! Forgive me!

The Bizen Inn

Miss Iwa!

I was dreaming...

Or was I?

Miss Sode!

It's you!

It's me! Yomoshichi!

Yomoshichi!

You're alive!

A woodcutter pulled me

out of the waterfall.

When my wounds healed

I came to Edo.

It's amazing

you found me here.

Yes...

It's very strange...

My sister...

Miss Iwa?

Yes.

This is her comb.

It was a revelation!

Miss Sode...

...Miss Iwa came to me

in a dream and told me...

...it was a lie that Ozawa Usaburo

killed our fathers.

She said it was lemon Tamiya.

So it was him!

You knew that?

Yes.

When my sister appeared

Naosuke started raving...

...that Iemon was our enemy.

That was all in my dream!

Iemon and Naosuke stabbed me

and pushed me over the falls!

Could they have killed my sister?

They must have.

She told me where Iemon was,

and that I should avenge her.

Naosuke said so, too.

Iemon's at the Zuishoji Temple

at Hebiyama, in Honjo.

Chief, how can I help

if you won't say anything?

Open your mouth

and talk to me!

Where did old man Ito

keep his damn money?!

It's got to be either under

the floorboards or in the ceiling.

Let's get the hell out of Edo...

...and start over

somewhere brand new!

Hiding out in this snake-infested

temple won't do us any good!

You poison your pretty wife,

set a masseur up as her lover...

...kill him and dump them

in a ditch at Potter's Field.

I'm impressed! The samurai

is as much a villain as I am.

This is no time to go

weepy and womanish!

We're both vermin out of the

same hole. So where's the money?

Naosuke...

...I told you, I didn't take

a penny out of that house.

Go away.

Leave Me.

Go away, I tell you!

This is interesting...

you're going to kill me?

Go on, then. Do it.

You don't know your place,

Naosuke.

All of this was your...

Stop this whining! Kill me

if you're going to.

You can't, can you.

You haven't got the spine.

Cut Me down!

Iemon!

Iemon!

Iemon!

Yomoshichi! You're alive!

Iemon Tamiya...

I avenge my father!

I avenge my father...

and my sister!

Damn you!

Die!

Iwa... forgive Me...

Iwa!

Forgive me!

Iwa!

I was wrong!

Forgive me!

The End
