1
00:00:03,351 --> 00:00:06,946
Sleep, sleep.
2
00:00:06,946 --> 00:00:10,286
Go to sleep.
3
00:00:10,286 --> 00:00:14,695
Gently sleep.
4
00:00:45,893 --> 00:00:54,696
(Wanting you to just be near,
to feel your breath upon my ear)
5
00:00:54,696 --> 00:01:03,736
(Wishing you would call my name,
'Cause only you can light the flame)
6
00:01:03,736 --> 00:01:10,480
Constantly searching,
still can't find
7
00:01:13,087 --> 00:01:19,152
Ever illusive peace of mind
8
00:01:21,329 --> 00:01:29,926
Sometimes it's near,
but slips away
9
00:01:29,926 --> 00:01:36,537
And I'm faced with another day
10
00:01:37,745 --> 00:01:43,507
Of wanting you...
(to feel your breath upon my ear)
11
00:01:43,507 --> 00:01:47,846
...to just be near
('Cause only you can light the flame)
12
00:01:47,846 --> 00:01:52,317
Of wishing you...
(to feel your breath upon my ear)
13
00:01:52,317 --> 00:01:56,757
...would call my name,
to feel your breath upon my ear
14
00:01:56,757 --> 00:02:01,295
Of wanting you...wishing you...
(to feel your breath upon my ear)
15
00:02:01,295 --> 00:02:09,142
Call my name, 'cause only
you can light the flame
16
00:02:22,323 --> 00:02:24,986
Stay away from us for your safety.
17
00:02:27,662 --> 00:02:30,826
How can you nap
at a time like this?
18
00:02:32,133 --> 00:02:35,262
And here I was, waiting so long
that my tea is cold now.
19
00:02:36,103 --> 00:02:38,226
Just what I'd expect of
a guy who inherited...
20
00:02:38,226 --> 00:02:40,536
one of the most successful
candlemakers in Edo...
21
00:02:40,536 --> 00:02:43,102
left it to the head clerk to run,
then retired early!
22
00:02:43,102 --> 00:02:46,336
Guess you've got a lot more
nerve than most people!
23
00:02:46,336 --> 00:02:49,006
Oh, no. No! I just wasn't
any good at business.
24
00:02:49,006 --> 00:02:51,807
I don't have any nerve.
You make me self-conscious.
25
00:02:51,807 --> 00:02:53,415
It wasn't a compliment!
26
00:02:53,415 --> 00:02:54,546
I should've known.
27
00:02:54,546 --> 00:02:59,926
And what is this?! Not one line--
Not a single CHARACTER written yet!
28
00:03:00,261 --> 00:03:01,756
Well, I've got writer's block.
29
00:03:01,756 --> 00:03:03,726
Writer's block, huh?
30
00:03:03,726 --> 00:03:07,696
Well, all hail the great author!
Burned out already?
31
00:03:07,696 --> 00:03:10,726
Maybe you should retire
from having to THINK, too!
32
00:03:10,726 --> 00:03:13,197
Please don't tease me.
33
00:03:13,197 --> 00:03:16,766
Look, Mr. Author!
It's not like I asked you...
34
00:03:16,766 --> 00:03:21,637
to write a great story
for my playhouse.
35
00:03:21,637 --> 00:03:25,176
I just asked you to write
some children's riddles!
36
00:03:25,176 --> 00:03:26,746
You have writer's block?
37
00:03:26,746 --> 00:03:29,346
That's something
an actual WRITER would say.
38
00:03:29,346 --> 00:03:31,817
It's 100 years
too early for you!
39
00:03:31,817 --> 00:03:34,728
- I'm sorry, sir...
- Words before apologies, please!
40
00:03:35,529 --> 00:03:38,192
I keep trying to think of
something to write about...
41
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:41,391
No, stay away!
42
00:03:42,303 --> 00:03:43,666
W-What's the problem?
43
00:03:43,666 --> 00:03:48,397
Oh, s-sorry.
But the truth is...
44
00:03:48,397 --> 00:03:51,206
I've been thinking
I want to write...
45
00:03:51,206 --> 00:03:53,406
my book "The 100 Stories"
even more.
46
00:03:53,406 --> 00:03:58,079
"The 100 Stories?"
That empty dream of yours again?
47
00:03:59,253 --> 00:04:01,085
I'm serious!
48
00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:04,746
Right, right. "The 100 Stories."
49
00:04:04,746 --> 00:04:08,156
Why don't you go
check out Yanagiya, then?
50
00:04:08,156 --> 00:04:10,556
Yanagiya?
The Willow Inn, you mean?
51
00:04:10,556 --> 00:04:12,996
Yeah. Ten years ago,
the bride and baby...
52
00:04:12,996 --> 00:04:16,226
of Kichibe the innkeeper were
found mysteriously dead...
53
00:04:16,226 --> 00:04:18,326
under a willow tree.
And they say--
54
00:04:18,326 --> 00:04:21,097
They say the Willow Woman
killed them.
55
00:04:21,097 --> 00:04:22,467
Willow Woman?
56
00:04:22,467 --> 00:04:26,376
The spirit of the large willow tree
that grows in its courtyard...
57
00:04:26,376 --> 00:04:28,212
that's the namesake of the inn.
58
00:04:30,051 --> 00:04:35,176
It seems she's protected
the inn for generations.
59
00:04:35,176 --> 00:04:38,617
However, it also seems that
she's in love with Kichibe...
60
00:04:38,617 --> 00:04:42,461
and she'll kill any bride
who comes to marry him.
61
00:04:43,864 --> 00:04:46,357
The willow's spirit is
a jealous one, isn't she?
62
00:04:46,357 --> 00:04:49,166
That means the latest bride
is in danger, too.
63
00:04:49,637 --> 00:04:52,566
Huh?
There's another new bride?!
64
00:04:52,566 --> 00:04:55,196
Yes. I believe the wedding
celebration is today, in fact.
65
00:04:55,196 --> 00:04:56,700
What?!
66
00:05:05,786 --> 00:05:08,688
Off to find a new writer,
I guess.
67
00:05:17,865 --> 00:05:20,556
Congratulations!
68
00:05:20,556 --> 00:05:22,696
Such a lovely day for it, too!
69
00:05:32,546 --> 00:05:37,977
Four people. Four brides,
four babies, all died.
70
00:05:37,977 --> 00:05:40,420
That's too many
to be a coincidence.
71
00:05:41,088 --> 00:05:43,114
I agree.
72
00:05:46,894 --> 00:05:48,385
Pardon me.
73
00:05:49,563 --> 00:05:52,897
I'm here to collect
your meal plates.
74
00:05:53,467 --> 00:05:56,232
What a waste.
This is tasty, you know.
75
00:05:59,573 --> 00:06:01,567
Are you from the Willow Inn?
76
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:02,936
Yes. Sort of.
77
00:06:02,936 --> 00:06:06,776
Say, I heard a new bride
is coming there.
78
00:06:06,776 --> 00:06:09,176
You know those rumors.
You think she'll be safe?
79
00:06:09,176 --> 00:06:10,776
Whatever do you mean?
80
00:06:10,776 --> 00:06:14,448
Don't play dumb!
I mean the Willow Woman!
81
00:06:18,359 --> 00:06:21,557
Say, you're a spiritualist
selling talismans, right?
82
00:06:22,930 --> 00:06:26,696
Those rumors are true,
aren't they?!
83
00:06:26,696 --> 00:06:27,856
Uh, no.
84
00:06:27,856 --> 00:06:31,202
Those talismans are for quieting
the spirits, aren't they?!
85
00:06:31,805 --> 00:06:33,396
Stingy!
86
00:06:33,396 --> 00:06:39,244
Still, I think the innkeeper's relatives
are worse than that Willow Woman!
87
00:06:40,281 --> 00:06:42,607
I mean, Kichibe had
gotten to the point...
88
00:06:42,607 --> 00:06:44,577
where he said he didn't
want to marry again.
89
00:06:44,577 --> 00:06:46,215
I can't say I blame him.
90
00:06:46,215 --> 00:06:49,246
Losing all those wives,
one after the other...
91
00:06:49,246 --> 00:06:51,147
but his relatives
forced him into this...
92
00:06:51,147 --> 00:06:54,356
without any thought
for what he wanted!
93
00:06:54,356 --> 00:06:57,787
All their talk about who inherits
the place! Poor man.
94
00:06:57,787 --> 00:06:59,456
Inherits it?
95
00:06:59,456 --> 00:07:02,796
Yes. After all, if he doesn't
have any children...
96
00:07:02,796 --> 00:07:05,527
it'll pass to another
family's control.
97
00:07:05,527 --> 00:07:07,736
The relatives
are worried about...
98
00:07:07,736 --> 00:07:10,305
losing the lion's share
of the profits.
99
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:14,180
Oh, I've said too much.
100
00:07:14,982 --> 00:07:17,975
Forgive my rambling.
All right, there we are.
101
00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:20,946
For heaven's sake...
102
00:07:20,946 --> 00:07:25,290
everywhere we go,
people are obsessed with greed.
103
00:07:25,793 --> 00:07:29,525
That girl... We can't let her
become another victim.
104
00:07:30,164 --> 00:07:34,057
Ogin? You seem more interested
in this than usual.
105
00:07:34,057 --> 00:07:36,867
Well, I have my reasons.
106
00:07:38,806 --> 00:07:39,996
What's wrong?
107
00:07:39,996 --> 00:07:41,270
Have a look.
108
00:07:43,944 --> 00:07:46,413
Apparently,
he still doesn't get it.
109
00:08:04,632 --> 00:08:08,357
Your bride is so lovely.
How wonderful for you!
110
00:08:08,357 --> 00:08:11,696
I just heard! She's pregnant?
111
00:08:11,696 --> 00:08:13,697
Good job! Good job!
112
00:08:13,697 --> 00:08:15,667
I'm happy for you!
Really, I am!
113
00:08:15,667 --> 00:08:18,475
Now we don't have to worry
about the Willow Inn's future.
114
00:08:34,461 --> 00:08:37,926
Congratulations to me, huh?
115
00:08:37,926 --> 00:08:40,196
You belong to me!
116
00:08:43,203 --> 00:08:45,968
I won't let another woman
have you!
117
00:08:47,274 --> 00:08:50,737
I beg of you!
Don't torment me anymore!
118
00:08:50,737 --> 00:08:53,806
Only I may protect you.
119
00:08:53,806 --> 00:08:57,207
We live in different worlds!
We can never be together!
120
00:08:57,207 --> 00:08:59,546
I won't let another woman
have you!
121
00:08:59,546 --> 00:09:03,517
Yae is pregnant!
I'm not a young man anymore!
122
00:09:03,517 --> 00:09:07,116
If that child won't be born,
this house will come to an end.
123
00:09:07,116 --> 00:09:09,456
I love you.
124
00:09:09,456 --> 00:09:11,329
You!
125
00:09:12,666 --> 00:09:15,527
Master? Master!
126
00:09:15,527 --> 00:09:17,296
What is it?
127
00:09:17,296 --> 00:09:20,267
A man named Momosuke from
Ikomaya is here to see you.
128
00:09:20,267 --> 00:09:21,335
Ikomaya?
129
00:09:21,335 --> 00:09:22,866
He's a young master, sir.
130
00:09:22,866 --> 00:09:24,037
Ah.
131
00:09:28,682 --> 00:09:30,876
Congratulations to you, sir.
132
00:09:30,876 --> 00:09:34,716
This is an impressive celebration.
So much going on!
133
00:09:34,716 --> 00:09:36,516
We're just being festive.
134
00:09:36,516 --> 00:09:37,786
What?
135
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:40,586
Momosuke, I heard
you left the business...
136
00:09:40,586 --> 00:09:42,756
to your chief clerk and retired.
137
00:09:44,098 --> 00:09:47,226
Well, I was never really cut out
to be a businessman.
138
00:09:47,226 --> 00:09:49,765
The only way I could serve
my family right...
139
00:09:49,765 --> 00:09:51,766
was to put
someone else in charge.
140
00:09:51,766 --> 00:09:54,436
Right now, I'm trying
to become a writer.
141
00:09:54,436 --> 00:09:58,136
I envy you. If only I had
that sort of courage...
142
00:09:58,136 --> 00:10:02,082
Oh, no.
I'm practically a hermit.
143
00:10:02,416 --> 00:10:05,352
And why would
a hermit come here, then?
144
00:10:07,054 --> 00:10:08,947
For the rumor of
the Willow Woman?
145
00:10:08,947 --> 00:10:13,052
Uh, well... Forgive me, sir.
146
00:10:13,627 --> 00:10:15,721
You're an easy book to read.
147
00:10:17,364 --> 00:10:22,657
The truth is, I heard about
the willow spirit...
148
00:10:22,657 --> 00:10:26,936
when I was a kid,
and I snuck in here.
149
00:10:55,135 --> 00:10:57,927
One of the employees must have
been playing a trick on you.
150
00:10:57,927 --> 00:11:00,100
Probably.
151
00:11:00,574 --> 00:11:02,906
There is no "Willow Woman."
152
00:11:02,906 --> 00:11:04,378
I'm embarrassed now.
153
00:11:05,712 --> 00:11:07,476
Th-Thank you.
154
00:11:09,583 --> 00:11:11,007
You!
155
00:11:11,007 --> 00:11:13,477
Do you know my maid?
156
00:11:13,477 --> 00:11:15,716
Uh, no. Just...
157
00:11:15,716 --> 00:11:17,916
M-Master!
158
00:11:17,916 --> 00:11:19,955
What?
What's this uproar about?
159
00:11:19,955 --> 00:11:22,759
Th-There's a strange man
in the garden!
160
00:11:31,438 --> 00:11:33,236
What are you doing?!
161
00:11:34,141 --> 00:11:35,997
Forgive me.
162
00:11:35,997 --> 00:11:40,776
I was intending to ensnare
the spirit of this willow tree.
163
00:11:40,776 --> 00:11:44,146
We have no "spirits" here!
Now please leave!
164
00:11:44,146 --> 00:11:50,387
And yet I heard that
several wives and children died.
165
00:11:51,325 --> 00:11:53,658
Well then, if you'll excuse me...
166
00:11:54,928 --> 00:11:57,486
That action could incur
punishment from the Heaven.
167
00:11:57,486 --> 00:11:59,826
What will happen next,
I cannot say.
168
00:11:59,826 --> 00:12:01,895
You tempt God
treating a talisman like that.
169
00:12:01,895 --> 00:12:03,866
Please leave!
170
00:12:03,866 --> 00:12:05,567
You leave me no choice, then.
171
00:12:08,809 --> 00:12:14,112
You're a curious man, Mr. Author.
It may yet lead to your doom.
172
00:12:17,384 --> 00:12:21,014
Mr. Kichibe,
please stop this wedding!
173
00:12:22,189 --> 00:12:26,117
Look, it's...
There's real danger here!
174
00:12:26,117 --> 00:12:29,585
Don't show your face
around here again!
175
00:12:50,918 --> 00:12:53,444
Pretty handy entrance
for times like this!
176
00:12:55,856 --> 00:12:57,984
Hey, what's the trouble?
177
00:12:58,792 --> 00:13:01,656
Well, Lady Yae can't be found.
178
00:13:01,656 --> 00:13:04,956
What? The bride?
Maybe she's in the toilet.
179
00:13:04,956 --> 00:13:06,595
I checked there.
180
00:13:06,595 --> 00:13:08,326
Well, just find her!
181
00:13:08,326 --> 00:13:09,456
Yes, sir!
182
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:12,227
Well, nobody
will see me up here...
183
00:13:12,227 --> 00:13:15,175
but I can't tell
what's happening inside.
184
00:13:21,615 --> 00:13:23,550
Lady...Yae?
185
00:13:30,190 --> 00:13:31,715
I won't let you have him!
186
00:13:35,162 --> 00:13:36,494
Yae!
187
00:13:48,976 --> 00:13:51,005
Are you all right?
188
00:13:51,005 --> 00:13:53,537
Big Sister...Ogin?
189
00:13:58,585 --> 00:14:00,176
Are you all right?
190
00:14:00,176 --> 00:14:02,679
Big Sister...Ogin?
191
00:14:03,557 --> 00:14:05,486
You're safe now.
192
00:14:05,486 --> 00:14:08,856
Where am I?
Why am I here?
193
00:14:08,856 --> 00:14:11,525
It's been a long time.
194
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,462
Yae!
195
00:14:18,872 --> 00:14:20,596
Are you all right?!
196
00:14:20,596 --> 00:14:22,497
Somebody tried to...
197
00:14:22,497 --> 00:14:25,536
The wind out here
must have made you ill.
198
00:14:25,536 --> 00:14:27,376
Let's get you changed.
199
00:14:27,376 --> 00:14:28,936
Come along now.
200
00:14:28,936 --> 00:14:30,276
But...
201
00:14:30,276 --> 00:14:32,506
I'm here by your side.
202
00:14:32,506 --> 00:14:37,386
Ogin, you haven't
changed at all since then.
203
00:14:37,386 --> 00:14:40,122
Big Sister Ogin...
204
00:14:45,599 --> 00:14:47,857
Ow, ow, ow.
205
00:14:47,857 --> 00:14:48,858
Idiot.
206
00:14:52,272 --> 00:14:54,400
Did you have to do that?
207
00:14:57,210 --> 00:15:00,876
Why? Why did you
do that to Yae?
208
00:15:00,876 --> 00:15:02,807
Because of you.
209
00:15:02,807 --> 00:15:04,876
You desired it.
210
00:15:04,876 --> 00:15:06,946
I did?
211
00:15:06,946 --> 00:15:09,546
You see that woman
as an obstacle as well.
212
00:15:09,546 --> 00:15:10,922
You're wrong!
213
00:15:11,491 --> 00:15:15,292
Just go away! Please!
214
00:15:19,232 --> 00:15:21,026
You must be tired, Yae.
215
00:15:21,026 --> 00:15:22,696
No.
216
00:15:22,696 --> 00:15:25,224
This isn't healthy
for a pregnant woman.
217
00:15:25,224 --> 00:15:27,036
Go to bed now.
218
00:15:27,036 --> 00:15:28,196
And you?
219
00:15:28,196 --> 00:15:31,406
I'll mingle with our guests
a bit longer.
220
00:15:46,460 --> 00:15:48,895
Where'd everyone go?
221
00:15:51,364 --> 00:15:55,327
If she bears him a child,
the Willow Inn's future is assured.
222
00:15:55,327 --> 00:16:01,267
Really! Now that she seems capable,
we can get Kichibe to retire.
223
00:16:01,267 --> 00:16:06,106
Exactly. He always was
too much of a tight-ass...
224
00:16:06,106 --> 00:16:08,376
to be a good innkeeper.
225
00:16:08,376 --> 00:16:10,307
We need to get him
to retire quickly.
226
00:16:10,307 --> 00:16:12,777
We'll let him retire soon
so that no one has to...
227
00:16:12,777 --> 00:16:14,379
look at his gloomy face!
228
00:16:16,123 --> 00:16:17,986
What is all this?!
229
00:16:17,986 --> 00:16:22,049
I've tried my best at this job
my entire life!
230
00:16:22,049 --> 00:16:26,329
But the minute I father a child,
you're ready to stuff me in a coffin!
231
00:16:28,068 --> 00:16:29,796
Somebody, help me!
232
00:16:29,796 --> 00:16:35,333
Just as I said. I'm the only one
who's on your side.
233
00:16:36,042 --> 00:16:41,106
Willow Woman...
Help me! Help me, please!
234
00:16:51,792 --> 00:16:55,524
I won't let you take away
what is important to him!
235
00:17:00,167 --> 00:17:02,068
What the...?!
236
00:17:05,739 --> 00:17:09,267
Whoa! Stop that! Stop that!
Gotta stay on guard!
237
00:17:15,348 --> 00:17:16,782
What're they doing at this hour?
238
00:17:19,085 --> 00:17:23,113
Otoku!
I thought I killed you!
239
00:17:23,657 --> 00:17:25,125
You should know
when to give up!
240
00:17:29,262 --> 00:17:30,956
What the...?
241
00:17:30,956 --> 00:17:35,163
All the others...
This is how you killed them!
242
00:17:35,869 --> 00:17:37,926
You!
243
00:17:37,926 --> 00:17:40,297
I am the Willow Woman.
244
00:17:40,297 --> 00:17:42,036
What?!
245
00:17:42,036 --> 00:17:47,276
You are not the Willow Woman.
Isn't that right, Kichibe?
246
00:17:49,249 --> 00:17:51,146
That's...Ogin?!
247
00:17:51,146 --> 00:17:57,091
And is that the Willow Woman?
No... That's...
248
00:17:57,757 --> 00:18:00,625
N-No! I'm...!
249
00:18:01,928 --> 00:18:04,826
N-No! I'm...!
250
00:18:04,826 --> 00:18:07,096
Four times,
you murdered your wives.
251
00:18:07,096 --> 00:18:09,826
Four times, you cruelly
murdered your children.
252
00:18:09,826 --> 00:18:11,066
It was all your doing.
253
00:18:11,066 --> 00:18:16,032
It wasn't me! Help me!
That woman did it! That woman!
254
00:18:16,610 --> 00:18:18,442
Kichibe?
255
00:18:19,479 --> 00:18:22,006
I won't let you have him!
256
00:18:22,006 --> 00:18:23,806
He belongs...
257
00:18:23,806 --> 00:18:28,517
He belongs to me alone!
Me alone!
258
00:18:29,723 --> 00:18:32,846
That woman killed them all!
259
00:18:32,846 --> 00:18:38,126
Yes, I did it. All for his sake!
260
00:18:38,126 --> 00:18:40,326
H-Help me, please!
261
00:18:40,326 --> 00:18:44,666
This house belongs to him.
I won't let anyone take it from him.
262
00:18:44,666 --> 00:18:47,641
It's not my fault!
Not my fault!
263
00:18:48,108 --> 00:18:50,436
Kichibe is the Willow Woman?
264
00:18:50,436 --> 00:18:53,936
It wasn't me! It was her!
It's not my fault!
265
00:18:53,936 --> 00:18:56,036
The Willow Woman...
266
00:18:56,036 --> 00:19:01,215
another you which
your weak heart gave birth to.
267
00:19:03,390 --> 00:19:06,040
A heartbreaking tale.
268
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,716
Step off the path
of righteousness...
269
00:19:08,716 --> 00:19:11,825
and you become trapped
in the depths of sin.
270
00:19:11,825 --> 00:19:14,196
Evil and ambition scatter
in the darkness...
271
00:19:14,196 --> 00:19:17,695
leaving behind sad rumors
to fly in public.
272
00:19:17,695 --> 00:19:20,640
But your sins never fade away.
273
00:19:26,379 --> 00:19:28,936
It wasn't me.
274
00:19:28,936 --> 00:19:31,714
It was the Willow Woman.
The Willow Woman.
275
00:19:33,053 --> 00:19:34,180
Not me!
276
00:19:54,808 --> 00:19:57,368
To the next world,
we commit Thee.
277
00:20:06,786 --> 00:20:08,646
Master! Master!
278
00:20:08,646 --> 00:20:10,285
What's happened?!
279
00:20:10,285 --> 00:20:12,346
No, stay back! Stay back!
280
00:20:12,346 --> 00:20:15,022
It's a curse! A curse!
281
00:20:26,072 --> 00:20:28,135
It's a shame about Kichibe.
282
00:20:28,135 --> 00:20:31,866
But now the future
of Willow Inn is assured.
283
00:20:31,866 --> 00:20:34,576
Thank goodness for that.
284
00:20:34,576 --> 00:20:36,846
This will be the 11th
generation born to it.
285
00:20:38,318 --> 00:20:40,816
Yeah, "thank goodness."
286
00:20:40,816 --> 00:20:45,588
Your selfishness drove
poor Kichibe to his death.
287
00:20:46,459 --> 00:20:49,588
You people are the specters
haunting this place!
288
00:20:58,171 --> 00:21:03,439
Yae... to you alone,
I wish happiness.
289
00:21:31,071 --> 00:21:34,564
KYOGOKUTEI
290
00:21:44,651 --> 00:21:47,018
This man called Momosuke...
291
00:21:48,121 --> 00:21:50,246
This is the second
of your schemes...
292
00:21:50,246 --> 00:21:52,986
he's borne witness to.
It is truly unusual.
293
00:21:52,986 --> 00:21:55,256
It... It's just a coincidence!
294
00:21:55,256 --> 00:21:58,226
Don't you think
he may be learning...
295
00:21:58,226 --> 00:22:00,257
too much for his own good?
296
00:22:15,582 --> 00:22:21,681
Wind chimes whisper
soft and sweet
297
00:22:23,022 --> 00:22:29,121
Though there's not
a hint of a breeze
298
00:22:30,096 --> 00:22:35,896
Moonlight dancing
on the garden walk
299
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:42,536
As it gently drifts
through the trees
300
00:22:43,910 --> 00:22:49,877
Romance takes flight
on this perfect night
301
00:22:49,877 --> 00:22:56,551
While all of the world
lays sleeping
302
00:22:57,390 --> 00:23:06,857
Find us here as we feel
the moment of love
303
00:23:08,168 --> 00:23:11,603
Draw near
304
00:23:11,603 --> 00:23:18,666
Dream, sleep,
with your hand in mine
305
00:23:18,666 --> 00:23:24,618
Underneath a blanket of stars
306
00:23:26,786 --> 00:23:32,086
Song birds singing
in a distant glade
307
00:23:32,086 --> 00:23:40,727
As we share
the warmth of the dawn
308
00:23:49,042 --> 00:23:51,336
Evil and ambition scatter
in the darkness...
309
00:23:51,336 --> 00:23:55,206
leaving behind dubious
rumors to fly in public.
310
00:23:55,206 --> 00:23:58,776
Deep in the mountains,
the hunter Yasaku.
311
00:23:58,776 --> 00:24:01,077
The killing of beasts is brutish.
312
00:24:01,077 --> 00:24:03,716
The killing of people is murder.
313
00:24:03,716 --> 00:24:06,454
And the destiny of cruelty
and wickedness is...
314
00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:11,487
Next time, on Natsuhiko Kyogoku's
"Requiem From the Darkness:"
315
00:24:11,487 --> 00:24:13,156
Hakuzosu
(Enchanted White Fox)
316
00:24:13,156 --> 00:24:15,795
To the next world,
we commit Thee!
