00:00:15,982 --> 00:00:20,442
Tales of Zatoichi

2
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:09,758
The Flower that
Bloomed with the Lullaby

3
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:18,568
I'm sorry.

4
00:01:19,279 --> 00:01:21,110
Oh, a blind masseur.

5
00:01:21,281 --> 00:01:24,808
- What are you doing?
- I'm trying to get a persimmon.

6
00:01:26,152 --> 00:01:27,517
You want some?

7
00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:34,217
Yeah, that's a big persimmon all right.

8
00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:38,688
There's plenty more at the top
of the tree, but I can't reach it.

9
00:01:39,499 --> 00:01:41,831
You won't get in trouble for this?

10
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:45,234
It's okay. I know the
people who live here.

11
00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:48,600
All right then, you want
me to grab some for you?

12
00:01:48,741 --> 00:01:49,765
Please.

13
00:01:56,516 --> 00:01:58,984
That's a stone statue of Jizo.

14
00:01:59,586 --> 00:02:02,555
Oh, I'm really sorry Mr. Jizo.

15
00:02:02,689 --> 00:02:06,386
Well, I'm just gonna use you
as a stool to get up there.

16
00:02:22,308 --> 00:02:24,139
Yeah, keep going.

17
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:26,505
To the left. Left.

18
00:02:33,052 --> 00:02:34,076
Hey!

19
00:02:36,723 --> 00:02:41,558
Oh, it's you, Taro. If
it's you, then I don't mind.

20
00:02:41,694 --> 00:02:43,491
How's your grandpa doing?

21
00:02:43,596 --> 00:02:44,620
Oh, so-so.

22
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:46,995
So-so, huh? That's good.

23
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:51,059
I don't mind if you take the persimmons
and sell them to get medicine.

24
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:53,605
But you shouldn't take
them without asking.

25
00:02:53,706 --> 00:02:54,570
I'm sorry.

26
00:02:54,707 --> 00:02:59,110
Don't worry about it. If you ask me,
I'll get plenty of them for you next time.

27
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:03,339
Oh, it seems like you got a
lot. Well, get home safely.

28
00:03:03,483 --> 00:03:04,609
Bye, bye.

29
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:13,359
Huh? Who the heck are you?

30
00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:17,452
Oh, hi. It's a lovely day, isn't it?

31
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:22,531
It's a lovely day, but
what are you doing up there?

32
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:26,605
Well, I was just thinking
of climbing back down.

33
00:03:26,739 --> 00:03:30,869
Oh. Hey, wait a minute.
You're a blind masseur.

34
00:03:31,010 --> 00:03:33,478
Yes, yes, hello.
- Don't "Yes hello" me!

35
00:03:33,613 --> 00:03:37,845
I'm surprised you climbed
up there without any trouble.

36
00:03:37,984 --> 00:03:39,110
I'm really sorry.

37
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,379
Get down here at once.

38
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:38,074
I'll help you out.

39
00:04:38,211 --> 00:04:40,008
What? Really?

40
00:04:40,146 --> 00:04:42,876
Yeah, you got me those persimmons.

41
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:45,314
Thanks a lot.

42
00:04:46,152 --> 00:04:47,483
Oh, I'm so tired.

43
00:04:47,587 --> 00:04:49,282
You're trying too hard.

44
00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:53,416
I can't help it, I need to
satisfy the customers, you know.

45
00:04:53,559 --> 00:04:55,618
You must really be enjoying it.

46
00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:59,693
Anybody need a massage?

47
00:05:00,366 --> 00:05:04,530
Hey sister, do you need a
massage? I'll make it real cheap.

48
00:05:04,671 --> 00:05:08,664
If you want, I'll do the massage.
How much will you give me?

49
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:11,800
Maybe sixteen mon for the entire body.

50
00:05:13,179 --> 00:05:16,979
Hey Taro, you shouldn't
be selling persimmons here.

51
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:20,014
Everyone's going to eat them for free.

52
00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:24,055
I'm not selling persimmons. I'm
looking for people who need a massage.

53
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:25,283
Massage?

54
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:30,661
Then can you give me one?

55
00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:32,328
Of course.

56
00:05:32,665 --> 00:05:34,963
See? You got a customer already.

57
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:39,830
You're pretty stiff.

58
00:05:40,239 --> 00:05:43,140
You've been working too much.

59
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:46,803
If you don't get some
rest, you're gonna get sick.

60
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:51,882
I don't care if I get sick.

61
00:05:55,088 --> 00:06:01,550
Hey, you come to these places often?

62
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:04,691
Huh? You mean as a customer?

63
00:06:04,797 --> 00:06:05,695
Yeah.

64
00:06:05,865 --> 00:06:09,733
Well, sometimes women like you...

65
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:14,033
...call out to me.

66
00:06:14,307 --> 00:06:19,745
For me, I'm very happy to be giving
massages to women like yourselves.

67
00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:27,279
But there are those who can't
pay for the massages, right?

68
00:06:27,653 --> 00:06:29,848
Yes. There are some.

69
00:06:29,956 --> 00:06:30,752
Hey...

70
00:06:31,491 --> 00:06:35,723
So what do you do then?

71
00:06:37,597 --> 00:06:42,398
Some people pay by
offering their body, right?

72
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:46,634
Hey, stop messing around.

73
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:56,815
You must make a lot.

74
00:06:59,752 --> 00:07:01,049
No, I don't.

75
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:04,815
But they say that
masseurs are very rich.

76
00:07:04,957 --> 00:07:08,085
Well, I don't have that much.

77
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:11,420
Maybe about twenty or thirty ryo.

78
00:07:12,698 --> 00:07:14,325
Thirty ryo?

79
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:19,036
I feel much better now.

80
00:07:19,906 --> 00:07:22,636
Hey, you gamble?

81
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:23,873
Huh?

82
00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:27,812
I really love gambling.

83
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:28,881
You assholes!

84
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:33,074
You're all a bunch of lazy
fools! All you ever do is eat!

85
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,887
The prostitution house
isn't making much money...

86
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:40,483
And the gambling place isn't doing well
either! I feed you people, and for what?

87
00:07:40,593 --> 00:07:44,552
Listen up! You give me all
your earnings from this place!

88
00:07:44,697 --> 00:07:47,097
Show me what you're capable of, people!

89
00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:51,863
Our businesses is slow, and there
are fewer customers these days.

90
00:07:52,038 --> 00:07:56,805
That's right. Plus customers
these days are very stingy!

91
00:07:56,943 --> 00:08:00,572
What? Then beat some
sense into those customers!

92
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:04,409
Master. The head clerk of a general
store in Takasaki is here to see you.

93
00:08:04,517 --> 00:08:05,506
General store?

94
00:08:05,685 --> 00:08:06,652
Yes.

95
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:09,117
Let him in.

96
00:08:09,222 --> 00:08:09,916
Yes.

97
00:08:10,623 --> 00:08:14,024
Hey, what the hell are you
people doing? Get back to work!

98
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,390
Come on, hurry up!

99
00:08:16,863 --> 00:08:18,797
Lazy fools.

100
00:08:19,098 --> 00:08:21,794
Well, well. Hello.
- Well, hello, hello.

101
00:08:21,934 --> 00:08:23,629
Now come in, come in.

102
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:26,637
Thank you for inviting me.
- Well, well.

103
00:08:26,772 --> 00:08:29,866
You must be the head clerk
who deals silk in Jyoshu.

104
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:33,968
Thanks for traveling so far to
this grassy part of the country.

105
00:08:34,113 --> 00:08:35,205
Oh, don't mention it.

106
00:08:35,314 --> 00:08:38,283
Don't be rude to the customer.
Come on inside, please.

107
00:08:38,417 --> 00:08:41,875
Right, we need some sake in here.
Bring two or three good looking girls.

108
00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:44,012
That's right, I'm sorry about all this.

109
00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:48,320
No, you got this all wrong.
I'm not here to have fun.

110
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:55,065
My master sent me here to
find a woman named Ohisa.

111
00:08:55,601 --> 00:08:57,569
Did we have a prostitute named Ohisa?

112
00:08:57,703 --> 00:09:00,171
She wasn't a prostitute. You
remember. That maid who had a son.

113
00:09:00,339 --> 00:09:02,739
Oh, the woman who died last year?

114
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:05,241
What? Ohisa died?

115
00:09:05,778 --> 00:09:09,339
Yes. Her cold worsened and he
passed away at the end of last year.

116
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:11,040
I see.

117
00:09:11,584 --> 00:09:13,643
And what about her son?

118
00:09:13,786 --> 00:09:15,481
Tarokichi's doing just fine.

119
00:09:15,621 --> 00:09:20,456
Persimmons for sale!
Anybody want some persimmons?

120
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:23,185
It's about one mon each.

121
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:26,959
Anybody want to buy some persimmons?

122
00:09:29,635 --> 00:09:32,229
Hey Taro. Did you sell any persimmons?

123
00:09:32,371 --> 00:09:34,601
There's about five more left.

124
00:09:34,707 --> 00:09:37,972
Then I'll buy them from you later.
- Thank you very much.

125
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:40,840
The dealer has a
twenty-six. Anybody have it?

126
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,413
Dealer wins.

127
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:47,650
I'm next.

128
00:09:48,154 --> 00:09:50,554
You're going to gamble too?

129
00:09:50,690 --> 00:09:53,750
I thought I'd make some money off of it.

130
00:09:53,893 --> 00:09:56,919
Really? Can I watch?

131
00:09:57,330 --> 00:09:59,423
You can help me out with your eyes.

132
00:09:59,632 --> 00:10:01,725
What? Thirty ryo?

133
00:10:01,867 --> 00:10:03,232
Isn't he a good customer?

134
00:10:03,369 --> 00:10:06,270
All right, we'll squeeze
everything out of his pocket.

135
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:08,634
- Who the hell are you?
- We didn't call for a masseur.

136
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:13,144
I was just wondering
if I could join you all.

137
00:10:13,245 --> 00:10:14,269
- You?
- Yes.

138
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:18,910
It's just that I love gambling
more than my daily meal.

139
00:10:19,251 --> 00:10:22,277
Hey mister. We're not playing with dice.

140
00:10:22,388 --> 00:10:23,753
They're plates.

141
00:10:23,889 --> 00:10:28,826
Even if you like gambling, you can't
possibly read these plates, right?

142
00:10:28,961 --> 00:10:31,953
Yes. That's why it's interesting.

143
00:10:32,098 --> 00:10:38,367
So how much can I bet on this game?

144
00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:41,034
Really?

145
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:47,404
It's all right, it's all right.
I don't care how much you place.

146
00:10:47,546 --> 00:10:50,515
You can bet as much as you want.

147
00:10:50,616 --> 00:10:51,913
Oh really?

148
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:56,054
My stomach is feeling very
cold from these gold coins.

149
00:10:59,025 --> 00:11:00,959
Hey dealer.

150
00:11:01,193 --> 00:11:05,323
Can you let me be the dealer for once?

151
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:07,625
- You're going to deal?
- Yes.

152
00:11:09,135 --> 00:11:11,126
All right. Go ahead.

153
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:13,102
Come this way, please.

154
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:15,400
Excuse me. Thanks.

155
00:11:15,574 --> 00:11:17,940
Excuse me. Sorry about that.

156
00:11:18,644 --> 00:11:19,804
This way.

157
00:11:19,912 --> 00:11:21,311
Okay, thanks.

158
00:11:23,582 --> 00:11:27,177
Here. These are the plates.

159
00:11:28,054 --> 00:11:30,249
Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot.

160
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:34,190
Oh, you're one sly guy.

161
00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:38,592
You gave me the plates upside
down because I can't see, huh?

162
00:12:00,119 --> 00:12:02,644
All right. Place your bets!

163
00:12:04,990 --> 00:12:07,458
Go ahead! Place your bets!

164
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,228
Come on, come on!

165
00:12:11,864 --> 00:12:13,764
Come on, come on!

166
00:12:16,368 --> 00:12:18,996
I'll bet on this maple leaf
for two and a third ryo.

167
00:12:19,171 --> 00:12:21,833
It seems that you folks
like the maple leaf.

168
00:12:21,941 --> 00:12:24,535
All right then. Maple leaf it is.

169
00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:26,477
Hey mister.

170
00:12:29,181 --> 00:12:30,045
Next!

171
00:12:30,216 --> 00:12:33,117
Empty. It's an empty hand.

172
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:36,917
Gimme one more. It's a bust.

173
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:45,030
Hey kid, what are they?

174
00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:47,223
Cherry blossom and chrysanthemum.

175
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:52,399
Cherry blossom and chrysanthemum
aren't
for two and a third ryo. I'll draw again.

176
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:58,103
- What is it?
- A deer.

177
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:59,368
A deer!

178
00:12:59,712 --> 00:13:03,842
Oh great. I guess we'll have to
stop at two ryos and three mon.

179
00:13:04,049 --> 00:13:09,282
I have three ryos here so let's see how
it goes. I'm just out of luck I guess.

180
00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:12,920
You're really something, mister.

181
00:13:13,058 --> 00:13:15,390
You're like a professional dealer.

182
00:13:15,528 --> 00:13:16,961
He's really something.

183
00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:19,724
Mister, you ain't no amateur, are you?

184
00:13:19,832 --> 00:13:23,131
Flattery won't work with
me. All right. Here we go!

185
00:13:33,212 --> 00:13:34,110
Hold it.

186
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:37,375
I have twenty-five ryo.

187
00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:40,618
I have it laid out in front.

188
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:43,552
And adding to what I have,
it's now thirty-five ryo.

189
00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:47,785
It looks like you folks are betting
like crazy this time around. I like that.

190
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,256
I too have thirty-five ryo.
Now we can play a fair game!

191
00:13:52,431 --> 00:13:54,490
Here we go. Are we ready?

192
00:13:56,969 --> 00:14:00,200
Oh, this one's the dealer's plate.

193
00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:07,710
Get me one more!

194
00:14:14,153 --> 00:14:16,178
Kid, what is it?

195
00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:17,619
It's a pine tree.

196
00:14:17,723 --> 00:14:22,683
That's great, then I need to get
a plate with the moon on it, eh?

197
00:14:23,162 --> 00:14:25,790
Come on, come on, show me that moon!

198
00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:26,796
It's red!

199
00:14:26,932 --> 00:14:27,990
Moon.

200
00:14:28,133 --> 00:14:29,065
It's red!

201
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,134
Hooray!

202
00:14:34,573 --> 00:14:38,134
It's a red plate. I guess
these are all mine now.

203
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:40,542
Asshole! You punk!

204
00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:47,212
Hey! You're no ordinary
masseur, are you?

205
00:14:47,453 --> 00:14:51,549
I'm just an ordinary masseur.

206
00:14:51,757 --> 00:14:53,622
You! Don't mess with us!

207
00:14:54,627 --> 00:15:00,065
You got a good-looking face
that wants to get messed up?

208
00:15:00,199 --> 00:15:01,325
You punk!

209
00:15:37,136 --> 00:15:40,333
Inosuke! What the hell are you doing?

210
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:43,305
Take these boys with you
and get our money back!

211
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,034
Yes! Let's go!

212
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:49,978
Hot... hot...

213
00:15:50,349 --> 00:15:51,543
It's hot!

214
00:16:12,171 --> 00:16:15,698
Huh? Your bag was full of stones?

215
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:19,611
I don't have that much money, you know.

216
00:16:24,083 --> 00:16:28,110
Mister, you really can't
see anything at all?

217
00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:30,847
Yeah, I can't see anything.

218
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:38,395
You have a sword inside that cane?

219
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:40,654
Yeah.

220
00:16:44,036 --> 00:16:46,402
That's so cool.

221
00:16:50,275 --> 00:16:53,802
Something smells really good.

222
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:56,578
It's the noodle shop.

223
00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:59,715
- You hungry?
- Yeah.

224
00:17:09,161 --> 00:17:11,789
Can I get a bowl of noodles?

225
00:17:11,897 --> 00:17:12,795
Me too.

226
00:17:12,898 --> 00:17:13,728
Got it.

227
00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:20,569
Hey mister, can you
stay over at our house?

228
00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:22,734
You'll let me stay?

229
00:17:22,841 --> 00:17:23,637
Yeah.

230
00:17:25,444 --> 00:17:29,005
Can you give a massage to my grandpa?

231
00:17:30,482 --> 00:17:34,543
I sold the persimmons so l
can pay you for your service.

232
00:17:36,255 --> 00:17:39,281
Okay, I'll do it.

233
00:17:40,592 --> 00:17:42,355
The son of the general store owner?

234
00:17:42,661 --> 00:17:43,719
Our Tarokichi?

235
00:17:43,962 --> 00:17:47,728
Yes. He is definitely my master's son.

236
00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:52,461
I was the one who made her
quit her job despite their fate.

237
00:17:52,838 --> 00:18:00,040
And the master wants me
to bring back Tarokichi...

238
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,305
...so that he can be his successor.

239
00:18:03,482 --> 00:18:09,352
I could never bring myself to say this,
but it seems like I'm taking him back.

240
00:18:09,621 --> 00:18:12,522
Really? That boy, huh?

241
00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:13,418
Get in.

242
00:19:13,552 --> 00:19:15,383
Okay, okay.

243
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:16,879
Thanks.

244
00:19:20,792 --> 00:19:25,354
Grandpa, I brought the masseur.
You want him to give you a massage?

245
00:19:26,064 --> 00:19:30,660
You want me to give you a
massage? Is your health really bad?

246
00:19:30,802 --> 00:19:34,203
Grandpa, I'll get your medicine.

247
00:19:37,309 --> 00:19:41,939
If you're a masseur, then
you must be blind, right?

248
00:19:42,047 --> 00:19:43,014
Yes.

249
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:45,980
Oh, I'm glad.

250
00:19:47,052 --> 00:19:58,793
It must've been Providence
that brought us together here.

251
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:04,094
Take this and go with Tarokichi...

252
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:10,598
...to a store owner
named Sobei in Takasaki.

253
00:20:10,776 --> 00:20:14,143
What? A store owner
in Takasaki named So--

254
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,339
No matter what happens...

255
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:20,785
...don't go walking the streets...

256
00:20:21,153 --> 00:20:24,748
...and don't get caught
in the public eye.

257
00:20:24,957 --> 00:20:28,393
Got it, and you're giving this to me?

258
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:33,796
Now I can rest in peace.

259
00:20:34,199 --> 00:20:37,999
Rest in peace? Now what am l
gonna do with a thing like this?

260
00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:40,536
Grandpa, it's your medicine.

261
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:46,036
Grandpa, what happened?

262
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:51,115
He's not saying anything.

263
00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:52,446
What?

264
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:55,117
Hey, grandpa!

265
00:20:55,287 --> 00:20:57,221
Say something!

266
00:21:01,793 --> 00:21:03,317
He's dead.

267
00:21:03,562 --> 00:21:05,189
He's dead?

268
00:21:14,539 --> 00:21:16,131
Grandpa!

269
00:21:25,684 --> 00:21:29,916
It seems like I came to the
wrong place at the wrong time.

270
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:33,922
How could you die before
hearing what I had to say?

271
00:21:34,026 --> 00:21:35,857
That's just not fair.

272
00:21:42,801 --> 00:21:45,497
- Here, have some drink.
- No, no, I really shouldn't.

273
00:21:45,704 --> 00:21:47,729
I should go see the boy tonight.

274
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:51,775
Oh, don't worry about
that. I'll take you to him.

275
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:53,071
Really?

276
00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:54,805
Then I guess...

277
00:21:54,913 --> 00:21:55,675
Boss.

278
00:21:55,981 --> 00:21:57,005
What is it?

279
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:58,446
I need to talk to you now.

280
00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,750
Excuse me for a second.

281
00:22:05,057 --> 00:22:07,116
Here, drink some.

282
00:22:07,292 --> 00:22:08,384
What is it?

283
00:22:11,530 --> 00:22:13,464
What did you say?

284
00:22:13,765 --> 00:22:16,859
I kept you and fed you since
you were good at gambling!

285
00:22:16,968 --> 00:22:21,132
Now I don't need you anymore! Get
the hell outta here! You asshole!

286
00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:43,889
Hey!

287
00:22:44,663 --> 00:22:45,630
Oshino!

288
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:47,797
Oshino!

289
00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:55,233
What is it, lnosuke? What happened?

290
00:22:55,407 --> 00:22:58,399
Oshino, I want you to flee with me.

291
00:22:58,610 --> 00:23:02,569
You're telling this so suddenly.
I don't even have my things ready.

292
00:23:02,714 --> 00:23:05,444
- Who cares about your things!
- But I can't go like this.

293
00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:08,610
Hey. You don't want to be with me?

294
00:23:09,821 --> 00:23:13,222
I'm just sick and tired of this life.

295
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:16,692
We can leave this place together.

296
00:23:17,095 --> 00:23:19,461
- Where are we going?
- It doesn't matter!

297
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:25,296
Well, if I'm with you, l
can go anywhere and be happy.

298
00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:28,038
I won't let you suffer. I'll...

299
00:23:32,844 --> 00:23:33,776
Listen up.

300
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:38,512
In an hour, I'll be waiting by the
cedar trees at the outskirts of the town.

301
00:23:38,683 --> 00:23:40,378
Please be there.

302
00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:45,388
I'll be waiting for you, okay?

303
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:52,525
Are you in there?

304
00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:04,233
Thank you for helping
me at this time of day.

305
00:24:04,376 --> 00:24:06,367
Well, we're almost there.

306
00:24:07,245 --> 00:24:14,947
You just have to deliver this
Tarokichi to the store owner?

307
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,147
Yes, if I can do that, then
my job here would be done.

308
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:20,189
I see.

309
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:20,950
Yes.

310
00:24:21,092 --> 00:24:22,923
I'll deliver the kid for you.

311
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:25,155
No, you don't have to do that.

312
00:24:25,263 --> 00:24:27,788
- You wanna drink?
- No, I'm okay.

313
00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:30,299
We're gonna send you
off to the afterlife.

314
00:24:30,402 --> 00:24:34,099
If you deliver the kid,
we can't make any money.

315
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:56,692
Thanks for bringing us the good news.

316
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:25,451
Fifty ryos.

317
00:25:25,757 --> 00:25:27,054
Not bad.

318
00:26:23,848 --> 00:26:25,475
Hey, masseur!

319
00:26:26,384 --> 00:26:27,874
Come on outta there!

320
00:26:28,386 --> 00:26:30,650
Bring that kid and come outta there!

321
00:26:31,656 --> 00:26:34,147
There's a moon out in the sky tonight.

322
00:26:34,292 --> 00:26:38,956
I don't really like it when it's bright
outside. Why don't you come on in?

323
00:27:20,939 --> 00:27:24,340
Something's wrong. Nobody's coming
out.

324
00:27:53,271 --> 00:27:54,863
They couldn't have gone
that far. Go after them!

325
00:28:01,713 --> 00:28:02,702
Oshino.

326
00:28:04,015 --> 00:28:04,879
Oshino!

327
00:28:05,283 --> 00:28:08,480
Inosuke, you...

328
00:28:09,754 --> 00:28:11,619
I brought you some clothes.

329
00:28:11,756 --> 00:28:13,383
Now let's go!

330
00:28:37,716 --> 00:28:41,447
Oshino, now we can be happy.

331
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:45,612
We can leave all this dirty
business behind us. I promise...

332
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:48,754
...I'll never let you go.

333
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:57,194
Yeah, but this is the sixth
time you said that to me.

334
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,235
No, I'm serious. Listen,
I'm serious this time.

335
00:29:01,806 --> 00:29:04,866
This time, I'm really serious.

336
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:07,636
It's okay.

337
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:12,579
I don't care if it's your sixth
time or sixtieth time saying it.

338
00:29:12,717 --> 00:29:16,209
I'm really happy when
you say those words to me.

339
00:29:16,654 --> 00:29:17,746
Oshino...

340
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:39,301
Oh, it's you Taro.

341
00:29:39,577 --> 00:29:40,874
Sister...

342
00:29:43,748 --> 00:29:45,511
What are you doing here?

343
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:48,118
I should ask you the same thing.

344
00:29:48,253 --> 00:29:50,187
I'm going to Takasaki.

345
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:52,414
Why are you going to Takasaki?

346
00:29:52,557 --> 00:29:54,582
My grandpa died.

347
00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:59,992
So this masseur is going
to take me to Takasaki.

348
00:30:00,165 --> 00:30:01,291
Really?

349
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:03,965
What are you doing here, sister?

350
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:09,096
What? Well, I'm going
back home as well.

351
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:15,436
Sister. Thanks for letting me
make a lot of money the other day.

352
00:30:15,613 --> 00:30:17,274
What did you say?

353
00:30:17,549 --> 00:30:21,144
Oh? It seems you have some company.

354
00:30:23,288 --> 00:30:27,520
Ah, it's you. The guy who
handed me those plates.

355
00:30:28,226 --> 00:30:32,128
You two are in love huh? I guess
you folks are leaving town secretly.

356
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:33,720
You bastard!

357
00:30:33,965 --> 00:30:37,526
Hey masseur! It's your fault
that we have to do this!

358
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,694
- lnosuke...
- Will you just stay out of this?

359
00:30:39,804 --> 00:30:42,602
You bastard! I'll get you, bastard!

360
00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:43,672
You!

361
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:46,538
Ow... that really hurt!

362
00:30:46,711 --> 00:30:49,305
Okay, I've had it.
Come on! Get over here!

363
00:30:49,414 --> 00:30:53,043
Get over here? You're going crazy!

364
00:30:53,151 --> 00:30:55,483
Hey! Hey you!

365
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,248
Wait a minute! He's crazy? How
could you say that to my man?

366
00:31:00,391 --> 00:31:02,791
How come you have to get involved?

367
00:31:02,927 --> 00:31:05,225
I can't believe you're
angry over such a...

368
00:31:09,234 --> 00:31:11,532
You bastard! Shit!

369
00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:17,607
That's enough!

370
00:31:18,509 --> 00:31:21,444
Something unexpected might happen.

371
00:31:21,646 --> 00:31:25,412
Some people lose their lives
by accident too, you know?

372
00:31:28,086 --> 00:31:30,577
Hey, are you all right?

373
00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:33,155
Hey, did it hurt?

374
00:31:33,324 --> 00:31:34,484
Shut up!

375
00:31:49,374 --> 00:31:51,239
Inosuke!

376
00:32:00,985 --> 00:32:03,351
What are you looking for?

377
00:32:03,454 --> 00:32:07,914
Well do you see... you see
that document anywhere?

378
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:14,629
Oh great.

379
00:32:15,466 --> 00:32:21,735
If I lose that, what could l
possibly say to your grandpa?

380
00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:33,744
I can't believe it.

381
00:32:33,851 --> 00:32:38,447
That kid is the son of a very famous
silk dealer in Jyoshu named Sobei.

382
00:32:39,057 --> 00:32:40,752
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

383
00:32:40,892 --> 00:32:44,419
It's written right here with the
birth date and the parents' names.

384
00:32:44,562 --> 00:32:46,723
It even has an umbilical cord in it.

385
00:32:46,898 --> 00:32:48,365
I got it.

386
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:53,527
That masseur is delivering the kid to
his father in Takasaki to make money.

387
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:57,571
Well that masseur did
seem a bit peculiar.

388
00:32:58,943 --> 00:33:01,810
Hey, what are you going to do with that?

389
00:33:02,847 --> 00:33:05,782
I'll take this and
head over to Takasaki.

390
00:33:05,917 --> 00:33:09,148
You go on and deceive that
masseur to come with the kid.

391
00:33:09,287 --> 00:33:13,883
We'll meet just after noon on the
grounds of Kiyomizu temple in three
days.

392
00:33:14,025 --> 00:33:16,994
Don't get there too quick.
Just after noon in three days.

393
00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:19,096
Hey wait, lnosuke.

394
00:33:19,263 --> 00:33:21,959
You're not trying to trick me, are you?

395
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:27,504
I'm trying really hard to have a family
with you. Can't you just trust me?

396
00:33:27,638 --> 00:33:31,665
Hey lnosuke, you promised that you
wouldn't do that kind of thing anymore.

397
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:35,301
I just want to be with
you and start a family.

398
00:33:35,446 --> 00:33:39,075
If I go to Takasaki, I can
make about five-hundred ryos.

399
00:33:39,484 --> 00:33:40,746
Five-hundred ryos...

400
00:33:40,952 --> 00:33:44,547
That's right. So please
do this for me, okay?

401
00:33:50,995 --> 00:33:52,292
Sister!

402
00:33:57,001 --> 00:33:58,628
What happened?

403
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:03,067
Taro, please take me with you.

404
00:34:03,408 --> 00:34:06,036
What happened to your man?

405
00:34:08,579 --> 00:34:10,740
He ditched you, didn't he?

406
00:34:14,285 --> 00:34:16,947
I wanted to stay around a bit longer.

407
00:34:17,088 --> 00:34:19,283
I was worried about Taro.

408
00:34:19,457 --> 00:34:24,121
Wow, Taro. You're carrying
around so many things!

409
00:34:24,362 --> 00:34:26,592
- You want me to carry that pot for you?
- Yes.

410
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:38,404
Ouch!

411
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:40,973
Ow, ow, ouch!

412
00:34:41,345 --> 00:34:45,008
Hey mister, she says her feet hurt.

413
00:34:45,817 --> 00:34:48,047
Wait for me!

414
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:50,885
My feet hurts.

415
00:34:51,055 --> 00:34:54,218
Ow, ow, ouch!

416
00:34:54,659 --> 00:34:56,456
It really hurts!

417
00:34:56,627 --> 00:34:58,788
Wait for me!

418
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:02,858
Damn!

419
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:19,447
Sister, are your feet all right now?

420
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:21,919
Yes.

421
00:35:23,187 --> 00:35:28,784
Hey. Is there something wrong
with reaching Takasaki early?

422
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,022
Damn!

423
00:35:38,569 --> 00:35:41,800
Don't start anything
until we get to Takasaki.

424
00:37:02,987 --> 00:37:05,478
Is Taro asleep?

425
00:37:05,957 --> 00:37:06,719
Yes.

426
00:37:09,126 --> 00:37:12,493
Where were you born?

427
00:37:13,264 --> 00:37:16,062
A place called Takada in Echigo.

428
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:18,897
It's filled with lots of snow.

429
00:37:19,003 --> 00:37:22,370
I see. What about your parents?

430
00:37:22,506 --> 00:37:23,734
I don't know.

431
00:37:24,342 --> 00:37:26,503
I'm sure they're somewhere.

432
00:37:28,112 --> 00:37:32,981
Even if I see them, I probably
wouldn't recognize them.

433
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:37,919
When I came of age, they sold me.

434
00:37:41,225 --> 00:37:44,956
I don't know my parents' faces either.

435
00:37:48,299 --> 00:37:49,698
You too?

436
00:37:51,035 --> 00:37:57,235
When I came of age, I was blind.

437
00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:03,641
They say a kid can grow
up without having parents...

438
00:38:03,848 --> 00:38:06,715
...but it's better having them around.

439
00:38:10,187 --> 00:38:19,585
We don't want to let Taro go
through life by himself, do we?

440
00:38:25,336 --> 00:38:30,205
His grandpa died without
hearing what I had to say.

441
00:38:31,776 --> 00:38:40,445
But did that document say anything
about making money off of this Taro?

442
00:38:40,685 --> 00:38:42,050
Oshino...

443
00:38:49,026 --> 00:38:54,794
Since you're silent,
I'll take that as a yes.

444
00:38:59,503 --> 00:39:03,997
Mr. Ichi, are you sure you
didn't read what was written?

445
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:07,341
Sorry.

446
00:39:08,813 --> 00:39:10,144
Oshino...

447
00:39:12,416 --> 00:39:17,444
You really love lnosuke?

448
00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:26,459
He's the only person who says he
wants a family with a woman like me.

449
00:39:27,598 --> 00:39:32,092
His words are the only thing
that has kept my life meaningful.

450
00:39:32,269 --> 00:39:37,866
If you really love him, then you
shouldn't let him do bad things.

451
00:40:13,110 --> 00:40:14,042
Oshino!

452
00:40:15,379 --> 00:40:17,176
Ah, lnosuke!

453
00:40:22,853 --> 00:40:26,084
What are you kidding me?
I already made the deal!

454
00:40:26,223 --> 00:40:31,092
If I bring this document along with the
kid, we can get three or five hundred
ryos.

455
00:40:31,228 --> 00:40:34,288
If we have five-hundred ryos,
we can do whatever we want!

456
00:40:34,398 --> 00:40:38,528
You see, I don't want to
sell that boy for money.

457
00:40:38,969 --> 00:40:44,566
Inosuke, please... give
that document back to Taro.

458
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:48,608
You asshole, I can't give away
my meal ticket to that masseur!

459
00:40:48,746 --> 00:40:51,271
- Now go get me that kid!
- Please give it back!

460
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:54,145
Hey, don't you want to be with me?

461
00:40:54,285 --> 00:40:56,583
Do what I tell you!

462
00:40:56,687 --> 00:40:59,417
I can't do that. Please,
just give it back!

463
00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:01,353
Give it back. Please!

464
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:03,321
You! Hey, hey, hey!

465
00:41:03,427 --> 00:41:04,689
Inosuke, are you...

466
00:41:04,795 --> 00:41:07,059
Yeah, I'll even kill you,
just to get the money!

467
00:41:07,164 --> 00:41:09,530
You really need that money?
- Of course!

468
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:12,397
If you interfere, I'll kill you!
- Sister...

469
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:18,271
Hey, give me that document.

470
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:21,537
Do you know what you're
saying? You tricked my wife!

471
00:41:22,746 --> 00:41:24,407
Give it back.

472
00:41:25,049 --> 00:41:26,073
You bastard!

473
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,953
I'll kill you!

474
00:41:31,055 --> 00:41:32,352
Kill me if you can!

475
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,831
Next time, your head won't
be attached to your body.

476
00:41:46,437 --> 00:41:49,600
Please forgive him, Mr.
Ichi. Don't kill him.

477
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:53,610
He's very precious to me.

478
00:41:54,245 --> 00:41:57,840
If you're going to
kill him, kill me too!

479
00:41:59,216 --> 00:42:01,616
Please. Okay?

480
00:42:04,889 --> 00:42:06,117
Oshino...

481
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:24,229
Hey!

482
00:42:24,475 --> 00:42:27,808
Thanks a lot, but your job is done.

483
00:42:28,345 --> 00:42:29,937
Hand over the kid!

484
00:42:30,648 --> 00:42:35,051
You're the one who's
going to deliver the kid?

485
00:42:35,352 --> 00:42:36,546
That's right.

486
00:42:41,358 --> 00:42:44,794
The kid's umbilical cord is inside.

487
00:42:44,929 --> 00:42:47,420
Take it along with the kid.

488
00:42:48,632 --> 00:42:49,360
Go.

489
00:43:12,189 --> 00:43:13,315
Taro.

490
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:15,623
Let's go.

491
00:43:45,856 --> 00:43:49,758
Let's go. Hey. Hey.

492
00:43:52,863 --> 00:43:54,160
Mister.

493
00:44:02,673 --> 00:44:04,834
Now, now, let's get the boy inside.

494
00:44:04,942 --> 00:44:07,069
Thank you, thank you.

495
00:44:07,211 --> 00:44:12,171
It seems that you went through lots of
trouble to get here. Thank you very
much.

496
00:44:12,316 --> 00:44:19,415
I showed the document to my master,
and Tarokichi is definitely his son.

497
00:44:19,590 --> 00:44:23,048
So we'll be taking good
care of him from now on.

498
00:44:23,227 --> 00:44:25,718
Yes, thank you very much.

499
00:44:27,197 --> 00:44:33,761
Oh, I'm really sorry about this, but
this is just a token of our gratitude.

500
00:44:33,904 --> 00:44:36,270
Please take it.

501
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,739
Now if you will excuse me.
Now, let's go, let's go.

502
00:44:40,377 --> 00:44:41,605
Mister!

503
00:44:41,812 --> 00:44:43,245
No! No!

504
00:44:44,982 --> 00:44:47,610
- Mis--
- Ah, come this way now.

505
00:44:49,019 --> 00:44:50,748
Mister!

506
00:44:51,055 --> 00:44:53,785
Mister!

507
00:44:58,662 --> 00:44:59,822
Mr. Ichi...

508
00:45:11,508 --> 00:45:15,000
A reward from the kid's father...

509
00:45:24,855 --> 00:45:31,886
I hope you two can be a happy couple
and live your lives with your heads up.

510
00:46:20,077 --> 00:46:21,635
To Be Continued...

511
00:46:22,646 --> 00:46:27,140
On the anniversary of his mother's death,
he swore not to use his blade for once...

512
00:46:27,885 --> 00:46:31,821
But the long blade of
hatred targets Zatoichi.

513
00:46:32,289 --> 00:46:37,124
With Kinya Kitaouji as the special
guest and Shintaro Katsu as the
director...

514
00:46:37,294 --> 00:46:41,565
Tune in for the next episode of Zatoichi,
"A Memorial Day and The Bell of Life"

515
00:46:41,565 --> 00:46:44,565
Tune in for the next episode of Zatoichi,
"A Memorial Day and The Bell of Life"
