son?
Who cares about your son?
He's cheap, like you
courting a traveling entertainer
Are you sorry?
I hope you'll be very sorry
The world is a wheel
The mishaps come by turns
Will you make up, please?
This makes us even
Consider how I feel
Where's Otoki?
Looks like she went out just now
Is Shinkichi in?
You mean you didn't send for him?
He just went out with the girl
from your troupe
It's going to be terrible
I'm afraid I ruined Shinkichi's future
We'll give you this much for it
All right. It's enough to pay them off
We've been together for
a long time, boss
Where will you go, Kichi?
To Ueda. I have family here
I'll go back to working
in the butcher's shop
Get a steady job, that's the best
I'm sick of show business
It's our last night
Say goodbye to Otaka with a smile
Let's enjoy ourselves
before we break up
Sing, will you, Otaka?
I disorganized the troupe at last
No word from Shinkichi yet?
He's like a frog. He's fast with girls
I'm finished this time
I'll fix you a drink
No sake for me
Then you won't travel any more?
You can stay as long as you like
Shinkichi is old enough to know by now
He'll understand
He'll be back sometime or other
Let's live together like a family
Even a doll is pitiful if you let it alone
for a long time
Let's have a drink
Thank you for everything
When did you get back?
Where have you been?
Why pretend as if
nothing's happened?
Forgive me, Boss
She apologized. Why hit her?
You're to blame, too
Don't you know your mother
worries about you?
What are you doing?
Do you know who he is?
The man you hit just now is your father
I have no father like him
My father was a civil servant
He's dead
If my father were alive
he'd never have deserted us
for twenty years
All these years it's just been us
Right, Mother?
No father could be that selfish
What if, out of respect for his son
he can't call himself father?
He didn't want you to be a traveling
entertainer like him
He wanted you to get more education
and a good job
That's why he had to lie and
live in loneliness
He's been poor, but
Wherever he was, he always paid
for your schooling
Aren't you sorry for hitting
such a considerate father?
I'm sorry
I didn't know
He's educated, so he tells the truth
I left him and now call myself his father
It's natural he objects
I'll go away again
Shinkichi has accepted you in his heart
I don't want him to feel
awkward because of me
Let me go as the usual
carefree uncle
I'll start up in business again
If I do well, I'll return
I'll be a great actor so Shinkichi
won't be ashamed of me
If I do, thank me with a curtain call
Will you take me with you?
I don't want to leave without
returning your kindness
I'll work hard. I'll start a new life
Did you hear that? How sweet!
Will you take care of her?
She's a good, gentle girl
I'm sorry for hitting you
Help my son become a great man
Uncle?
Where is Uncle?
You mean Father?
He went on the road again
Don't try to stop him
Just be a great man, that's all he wants
Since you were born
he's been coming here...
with that one hope in mind
Where are you going?
Kamisuwa
And you?
No place in particular
How about organizing
a new troupe with me?
I don't know whether I can
One Kamisuwa
THE END
