Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan (Ghost Story of Yotsuya) Page #5

---

I've got something else to do.

You go home...

...and get ready!

Right here...

The grief a husband brings

cramps this muscle here.

The best way to uncramp

this muscle is to cut the ties...

...that bind you to a husband

like that.

Stop that!

He may have no position,

but I am wife to a samurai!

Lay a hand on me again

and I'll have your head!

Please! Spare me!

This wasn't my idea!

Your husband knows

all about it.

He does?!

He knows everything.

Is this true?!

What's wrong?!

My face! My head hurts!

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!
