I can't do that.

If you show up now...

...the poor girl will think

she's dying.

Even from a distance...

Just one look at her.

I won't bother you again,

I promise.

I'll be in your debt.

Don't worry.

You'll meet someday,

as long as you both stay alive.

So you won't let me see her...

This isn't for you.

Make sure she gets to a doctor.

I'll go straight home

and take her.

Please.

Daddy!

O-Mitsu... go buy some sak.

Daddy, I'm hungry!

Shut up!

Get going!

Go on!

The boss and two husbands on

the side... you're really something!

But a child, too...

that's taking things too far.

How did you know that?!

I know what's what.

I know everybody's

deepest, darkest secrets.

So tell me, then.

Where your daughter is?

"Kagome, Kagome..."

"...when will the bird..."

"...leave its cage?"

O-Hatsu! O-Tane! Dinner!

O-Mitsu... let's get you

something to eat.

Where does Jinjuro live?

This is his house.

Who are you?

He's only ever home at night.

I see.

I brought this...

My, isn't this nice!

O-Mitsu! Come here

and look at this!

Look what the nice lady

brought you!

Isn't that nice?

Oh, that child!

So you know Jinjuro?

I knew him long ago.

The poor girl's got no mother,

and it's hard on her.

When Jinjuro has money,

he's nowhere to be found.

The child has nothing to eat.

She doesn't?!

He's a devil.

I can't bear to see it.

I see...

Would you do this for me?

Make sure she has something

to eat... and don't tell Jinjuro.

Of course I will.

But who are you?

Please!

No!

I'm sorry! Forgive me!

I won't go away again!

Calm down!

Stop using my being sick

as an excuse to whore around!

I'll kill you!

Careful!

Watch out!

Damn you!

I'll kill you!

Ryonosuke! Lay back

and keep still!

I'll get a doctor!

The only cure for consumption

is a long time at a spa.

There aren't that many

that accept sick people.

Leave it to me. I have a friend

at one in Hakone.

I don't know if he can go that far.

We'll take a palanquin.

"Too late to take us across,"

he says!

Wait here. I'll find a boat.

You're freezing cold!

This wind's killing you.

What are you doing?!

I'll just take this money.

You're half-dead already.

No hot spring will cure you.

Go and talk to Lord Buddha.

O-Den's in on this, isn't she!

What does it matter?

I'll put you out of your misery.

Die!

Ichizo?

I just got back from Hakone.

What's this?

Not too swift, are you. I put

that husband of yours to sleep.

You killed my husband?!

Damn you! How dare you

deceive me for money!

Quiet!

O-Den! Run!

Halt!

O-Den!

Have you killed someone now?

No!

Get up!

What's wrong?

My stomach...

It's not much further.

Please, Kazuma... let me

stop and rest somewhere.
