It is the height of the EDO period and times are prosperous.

The people contend amongst themselves to display much pomp,

but it's all empty pretense.

Behind everything lies depravity and sickness of the mind.

What an awful wound.

In the West, they have a method

of cutting the child out so that they can save the mother.

Could that be possible?

I should try it.

However, it would mean losing the life of the child.

Hanji...

Hanji...

Thank you.

Kinu! Kinu!

- I need some pocket money. - Why won't you come home?

Don't cause so much worry for your older sister.

Oito!

- You're Oito, right? - Yes.

- What is it? - Tatsumi sent us.

Where's the money you owe him?

I'm sorry. I don't have it.

Well, then, you can pay with your bodies!

- Back off! - Bitch!

Please!

- Just give me a bit more time. - The same old story.

If you don't pay up, we'll have to put you up for sale!

Sis!

I'm not going to let you harass these ladies.

You bastard!

Son of a bitch!

Sorry to have caused you such bother.

No, I should say the same to you.

I saw those punks giving you a hard time.

Come to me for help anytime.

Hey, brother!

The fish has taken the bait. Now we just need to reel it in.

Yes, but you could've gone a bit easier on me. Look at this.

I won't forget that in a hurry!

Forgive me.

The rain came from out of the blue!

- I've got some money for you. - Hanji, you shouldn't have.

Once your debt is paid, you'll live with your sister again, right?

Hanji...

Oito...

Hanji! No!

Oito!

No! Let go of me, Hanji!

No, let go of me!

Hanji!

- Why are you here so early? - Well, I wanted to see your face.

You're such a pretty little thing.

Why are you pulling that face?

Well, actually... I'm in some trouble.

I owe some nasty guys a lot of money.

You mean the money you gave me was...

- I was foolish to give you that money. - Hanji...

What should we do?

What on earth should we do?

Don't be silly. In two or three years it'll be all right.

- Two or three years? - Yeah.

If they catch me, I'll cut off two or three of my fingers.

That should settle things.

Hanji!

Tell me how I can help. I'll do whatever you ask.

Oito, you really care that much about me?

I see.

I don't have much right to ask you this,

but if you worked for a friend of mine you could make the money in no time.

Really? Let me do that then.

But do you think I could do a good job?

You'll be just right for it. Will you do it?

- Excuse me. - No problem.

Wait a minute!

Well, aren't you something?

- How long you been doing this? - This is my first day.

Today's your first day?

Stop it, please!

Stop it!

That was such fun!

Oito?

What are you doing?

Has something happened?

My...

My body...

...it's all dirty now!

Come now. I didn't fall for your body.

I fell for your beautiful heart.

Hanji...

But more importantly,

Kinu stole from the mob and they're after her.

She really did something like that?

We need to do something about it.

If you're up for it, there's a place where we can make the money quicker.

And so I was sent to Yoshiwara.

I took the name Itoharu, and began a one-year apprenticeship.

But I knew that Hanji would be there for me afterwards.

Welcome! Thank you so much for coming.

What a beauty. What's her name?

Itoharu.

Itoharu, is it?

She knows absolutely nothing about the art of being a geisha.

Oh, is that right?

That's fine, absolutely fine.

If she's a beauty, who cares what she knows about being a geisha?

- Madam, call her over for me. - Right away, sir.

Wait for me!

Look at you, Itoharu, sitting there with a smug look on your face.

What? Leave us alone!

Yaegaki has had too much to drink. Please, sit down.

I won't be ordered about by some greenhorn whore like you!

Yaegaki, I told you to leave us alone, didn't I?

Master, she'll do nothing for you.

Yaegaki, I apologize if I've offended you.

No need to apologize.

Have a taste of this.

A courtesan's value is determined not by her face, but by her body.

Let's find out who has the better body. Everyone can judge us.

- Hold this, Master. - Yaegaki!

She's taking it all off!

Now, Itoharu. Strip naked.

I couldn't do such a thing!

Enough of your nice manners! You were a whore, weren't you?

We want to see your body!

Oito...

It's a bit less than last time, but I've saved what I could.

- Please give it to Hanji. - Of course.

You're well appreciated here.

There's something I need to talk to Hanji about.

Will you tell him I'd like him to come and see me?

Of course.

Thing is, though, he's shacked up with your sister.

- You're lying. - Go and see their place for yourself.

They're lying. Hanji wouldn't do that to me.

- Hanji. - Kinu.

Kinu!

This is so shameful!

After all I've done for you!

All I can say is,

if you stick with him, he'll make a fool of you eventually.

Wait, Kinu! Where are you going?

Don't worry. Somewhere safer than here.

Kinu!

Don't touch me!

I... I've had enough.

You couldn't even wait for me.

I... I always knew you'd leave me one day.

I just refused to accept it.

Every day, when I went to bed with those men...

my thoughts were with you every night.

Otherwise, I could never have endured a single night!

But this is my fate.

So I'll persevere alone.

But in return for that, Hanji, please make sure that Kinu is happy.

Be happy with her.

Oito...

You've got it all wrong.

Me and Kinu, we're not in love.

You're lying.

We just drank too much and got carried away.

Listen, Oito...

Forget all about tonight.

Right? I'm begging you.

You're the only one for me.

Do you hate me?

You don't love me anymore?

- Come on now, give it a rest! - No!

You should know better!

Hanji...

I'm... carrying your baby.

Can you feel it moving?

How do you know it's mine?

A woman can tell.

You bastard!

Stop it!

You've disgraced us!

You tried to rip us off!

You bastard!

- Bastard! - Stop it!

Hanji!

It's nothing to do with me!

I'll make sure you never do it again!

Open your eyes. I'm going to wash them with peppers.

Stop it! Hanji!

How's that feel?

Please, stop!

Stop! He hasn't done anything!

If you need to blame someone, blame me!

Is that right? Well, let's do as you wish, shall we?

Hmm, Itoharu?

Who do you think you are, you disrespectful bitch?

Stop...
