Food's here. Eat up.

Superintendent, sir.

These are contraband tobacco leaves.

This much should be quite profitable.

But one mistake, and all our heads will fly.

"Statement of Offenses.

Smuggling of contraband tobacco into Edo.

Excessive profits and inhumane conduct.

If this is detected by the Shogunate,

the Numata Group will inevitably be crushed.

In addition, the treatment of innocent farmers as if they were cattle,

has been cruel and brutal.

The following are the members involved.:

Judayu Tashiro, Superintendent, the Numata Group.

Daizen Okino, former Assistant Superintendent.

Shozaimon Shimadaya, government official.

End."

How pretty.

Thank you, mother.

My. It looks so becoming on you.

Sewing it with my heart was well worth it.

My tomboy is a lady now.

You used to say you'd never marry.

How do you like the groom we chose for you?

Isn't he a fine man?

Yes.

Father.

Mother.

Thank you for caring for me all these years.

I, Okatsu, will live up to this long robe

and become a fine wife.

Time is flying.

In five days, I will see you as a bride.

Shinzaburo has arrived.

Let him in.

Yes.

Okatsu, your groom has made an excuse again to come see you.

Father, you're joking.

Shinzaburo.

Afterthe wedding, you can see Okatsu's face as much as you want.

The announcement document has finally been prepared.

Good.

I always admire your work ethic.

Please take care of Okatsu.

Yes, but am I worthy?

Yes.

I have observed your conduct and believe in your personality

and have decided to bequeath Okatsu to you.

Do not worry about your stature.

Makabe-san, I swear I will make Okatsu happy.

I insist.

How about staying for Okatsu's cooking tonight?

You'd better get used to that dreadful taste.

Father, I'm not that bad.

As you can see, she is strong-headed.

Breaking her in will exhaust you.

The profit has been good.

The total profit up until now is 5,000 ryo.

Since Ichizen Mizuno has become governor, all luxuries have become forbidden.

As contraband, tobacco is very profitable.

Once a person experiences luxuries,

no matter how much they are forbidden,

they cannot be ignored.

Just as I anticipated.

Using this money as a bribe, you can become Chief Retainer.

Retainer?

Then, your ambition is to be Castle Chamberlain?

Superintendent, Mr. Makabe is here and wanting to see you.

Makabe?

Yes.

Show him in.

Yes.

Hello, Makabe. What can I do for you?

Mr. Tashiro. Or rather, Judayu.

I want to talk to you as a friend since childhood.

About what?

I won't criticize. Just stop what you are doing, immediately.

What am I doing?

You are importing contraband tobacco to Shimadaya for him to sell.

I know you are making improper profits.

You are quite capable.

You've investigated quite thoroughly.

If the government uncovered your activities,

the Numata Group would be immediately disbanded.

Because of your greed,

three hundred retainers could lose their jobs and be out in the cold.

I will keep my eyes closed to what you have already done.

But stop importing contraband for good.

Alright, Judayu?

Makabe, is that all you have to say?

Is this your answer?

I have written a Statement of Charges against your crimes.

You can kill me, but eventually, it will surface.

Stop.

That spinning cross swing is the secret technique of the Kogen Sword School.

What?

You have passed your initiation to the secrets.

Yes.

Master.

Master.

A messengerfrom Judayu Tashiro is here.

You are urgently requested at Shimadaya's home.

Mr. Tashiro wants me?

Yes. He fervently requests the help of the Master.

Mr. Tashiro anticipates a favorable answer.

Makabe!

Talk!

Where did you hide the Statement of Charges?

Talk. Talk!

Judayu, this feeble act will not make me talk.

I'll make you talk.

My father has suddenly taken ill?

Yes. While talking to my boss, he lost consciousness.

It seems to be a stroke. I have a carriage basket ready.

Mother.

This way.

Hurry.

What are you doing here?

- Tobe! - Shut up!

Darling.

Darling!

Okatsu.

Sawa.

Father!

Okatsu.

Father!

Father.

Father.

Father!

Darling.

Move and you're dead.

Well, well. It's Sawa and Okatsu.

I've been waiting.

Mr. Tashiro, why are you doing this to my husband?

Oh, I wanted to ask him something.

He's stubborn and I'm having a hard time.

You are a brute and a disgrace to the way of the samurai.

Nothing will make me talk.

Fine. If you insist on being stubborn,

I will ask their bodies. Watch.

Sawa.

Mother.

I will be affectionate toward you.

In front of your parents.

What do my wife and daughter have to do with this?

- You delinquent. - Well, Makabe.

Feel like talking?

Darling, I don't care what they do to us.

Please say nothing.

Shut up.

Okatsu, Sawa, I'm sorry you have to go through this for me.

Daizen, this meek method is ineffective.

Use our special method.

Mother!

You coward!

Hey, bring the criminals.

Okatsu.

Let me show you something interesting.

You men have been in jail for a month.

You must crave a woman.

The Superintendent allows you to do whatever you want to that woman.

Mother!

No! Darling!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Kill me. Just kill me!

Makabe, take a good look.

Tell us where the Statement of Charges is, or your daughter is next.

You are a scoundrel inferiorto a bitch.

I'll tell you where it is. Just make those lowlifes stop.

You finally give up?

Father!

Stop it.

Darling.

Don't talk, no matter what!

Sawa.

Take out the criminals.

Yes.

Alright, Makabe, where is the Statement?

Talk!

Okatsu.

- Okatsu, it's behind the altar. - Yes.

Sawa.

Darling.

Sawa.

Old man. Don't struggle.

Darling.

Sawa.

Mother!

Father!

Father.

Mother.

Wait.

Okatsu, put away your sword.

But...

Is killing the way of the sword?

I nevertaught you that.

So beautiful.

Murderer! You're good for nothing!

What did yourfathertell you back there?

I won't say, even if you kill me.

How about becoming my plaything?

No. I'd rather die.

What are you doing to me?

We can't let anyone see ourfaces.

Accept yourfate.

What happened to Mr. Makabe?

Is Okatsu here?

Okatsu?

Okatsu is having a good time with the boss.

She's completely forgotten about you.

Have you called?

Yes.

Put Okatsu in her cell.

Yes.

What do you have against Mr. Makabe?

He was punished fortreason

and baring his fangs against our group.

What?

How would you like to be our ally?

Are you trying to bribe me?

Shinzaburo, you don't have to act so innocently.

We've heard how corrupt you are.

True, you have an honest reputation among the nobility.

But in fact, you play around and gamble.

You keep a number of women.

Shinzaburo, don't you think you should seriously considerthis?

Go ahead.

Hurry up.

Shinzaburo.

Okatsu, hurry.

"Statement of Offenses.

Smuggling of contraband tobacco into Edo.

Excessive profits and inhumane conduct.

In addition, the treatment of innocent farmers as if they were cattle,

has been cruel and brutal.

The following are the members involved.:

Judayu Tashiro.

Daizen Okino.

Shozaimon Shimadaya."

Father.

Mother.

I promise to kill Judayu.

Okatsu.

Shinzaburo.

I'm sorry. I failed to do anything.

Just your words make me happy.

Whatever was done to you, you are my wife.

And I owe it to your late parents to seek vengeance with you.

You mustn't.

You are a good man.

You shouldn't get involved with me.

What do you mean?

I helped you escape, so I am an accomplice.

Judayu is leaving for his home territory tomorrow.

Let's hide and prepare at a brothel called Okyo in Itabashi tonight.

The owner is a distant relative you can trust.

I will do it alone.

Why?

I want to seek vengeance for my parents alone.

Please forget about me.

Okatsu.

Good bye.

Hey, Shinzaburo. What's the matter?

You got jilted?

Just make sure you get the Statement of Offenses.

You know why Judayu spared you.

Bull's-eye!

Mr. Gin got a bull's-eye!

Here's a bull's-eye on your ass!

There you go again.

Get Tako.

Tako, here it comes.

Ouch! It hurts.

Bull's-eye!

Gin, it's going to scar.

Want me to lick it?

I beg you.

Let's go upstairs.

Bull's-eye!

Let me through. Let's go.

- Whoa, watch it! - Watch out.

What am I doing?

This is an incredible bull's-eye!

What a fine woman.

Gin, hurry.

What, no bull's-eye?

Welcome.

Is Okyo here?

Madam?

Madam?

You think you can get away with that?

You think I'm easy.

Who are you?

A friend of Shinzaburo.

My name is Okatsu Makabe.

Okatsu?

Come on in.

Yes.

Hey, Madam.

I'm busy. Make it later.

Go ahead.

I heard you've been through hell. Right?

I heard it all from Shinzaburo.

Don't worry.

Relax here as long as you want.

Thank you very much.

But I can't.

Why not?

I have to leave Edo tonight.

You're leaving Edo by yourself?

I need to prepare. Please accept this and help me.

Bye.

Thank you very much.

Bull's-eye.

I got a bull's-eye again.

Welcome home.

Madam...

Shinzaburo, I wanted to see you so much!

I've been anxiously waiting. How are you?

Hey, are you messing around with that girl?

Did you get this sword for Okatsu?

That's right.

Come on.

Where is she?

Upstairs.

No. You can't.

Fool. I'm not going upstairs.

You don't have to worry about her.

Shinzaburo!

I'm happy. I love you.

Listen. Okatsu is hiding a document.

Make her change her clothes and check everything.

What kind of document?

Sounds fishy to me.

With it, I can have anything.

Then we can get married.

Married?

Yes.

You mean that?

Father.

Mother.

Sorry I'm late.

I don't know if you'll like this...

Here.

...because we're way out in the sticks here.

Missed.

Watch this.

How's that?

Bull's-eye.

Don't show up around here.

Everybody is anxious.

Nobody trusts you.

Does she really have the Statement of Offenses?

I'm just keeping my promise to your boss.

What if we fail to get it? You have to leave.

Excuse me.

Daizen.

Shinzaburo, the Statement is important, but what about Okatsu?

She can get around and talk.

But...

Shut up. You still have feelings for her?

Shin, come here.

I looked carefully. I didn't see anything.

Woman,

where is Okatsu's room?

Two doors from the stairs.

It's not her.

Okatsu.

It's the law of the group.

You have to die.

Gin!

Retreat.

Retreat.

Shin, they're all dead.

Help me.

Help me.

Shin!

No. No. I can't take it.

I can't take this anymore.

Anything but that woman. She's the devil!

Idiot. She is vital for my career.

Somebody help me! No. No!

- What a cutie. - Help! No!

Stop.

What's this about? It's still daylight.

A hot babe just popped in.

Let's have an orgy with the two.

You smell great. I've been waiting.

Check me out.

Hey!

Watch it.

Run!

Are you alright, young lady?

My health is bad, so I came forthe hot springs.

On my way back, we were suddenly attacked

and my friends were all killed.

Do you live far away?

No, I live in Numata.

It's just past that way station.

Are you going there too?

This is where we part.

You can manage.

No. I might run into trouble again.

I want to be with you.

I can't go past the way station.

Then, at least, tell me your name.

Okatsu Makabe of Itoi village.

Take care of yourself.

Come.

Drink with me.

No way.

Sister, come with me.

Hang out with me.

I've brought a beautiful girl!

Have a drink.

Thanks.

- Hey, sis! - Enjoy it.

Bottoms up!

I like you!

You must be an Edo woman.

Yeah. A geisha from Fukagawa.

- Whoa, geisha? - Wow.

Sister, how about a tune on your shamisen?

Oh, yeah. Let's hear it.

Sure thing.

Hey. Alright!

I prayed for this.

This is great!

Brother, you sing.

I stumbled on a long trip...

Those country hicks are noisy.

Something's wrong with her.

She's all happy and festive.

Maybe she gave up because of the way station.

That must be it.

Let's you and I get away. Who cares about a career promotion?

I know.

But we need money.

Her paper note may be this thick.

It's valuable.

She has it on her body even when she bathes.

Her guard will be down when she bathes.

That's when we strike.

Got that, Okyo?

Alright.

Today and tomorrow, tomorrow and today...

we keep it up and keep on going...

Sister, how about it? I have money.

Do you have a room somewhere?

What? Sure I do.

Let's go.

Hey, where to?

Sorry about that.

Right on!

Is this alright for you?

Not bad.

You have a fine body.

I must be dreaming.

I can't stand it.

Ouch.

Sister, don't do that.

I'm horny.

Please. I have money.

Come on, please.

I'm about to have a bloody nose.

I need one favor.

Will you listen?

I'll do anything.

What do you want?

I want to pass the way station.

Could you be my guide?

You want to illegally cross?

I have an unavoidable reason.

Get me into Numata and I'll take care of you.

Yeah, but if we're caught, we'll be crucified at the prison gates.

Don't you want me?

Of course I want you.

I want you.

Don't rush me.

Let me take a bath.

Where did that guy go?

Hey, watch it!

This is strange. I'm sure she came in here.

We'll neverfind her like this.

I'll go investigate.

There's no need forthat.

Come in.

Have a seat.

Who are you?

The same as you.

I'm afterthe same woman.

Let's cooperate.

But she is tough.

So what?

I blow this whistle and all my friends will come.

Hey.

Where is she?

Take it easy.

I have a plan.

So drink.

What do you say we have that drink?

Women of Izo...

Shut up!

Okatsu?

Hey, I thought it was you!

You're that woman.

What a surprise.

Who would've everthought we'd meet here.

Don't look at me like that.

Don't worry.

I know you're in disguise and traveling illegally.

My lips are sealed.

Okyo, why are you here?

Me?

That's because I hail from Minakami.

After what happened, I had enough.

I closed shop.

Sorry forthe trouble I caused.

Don't mention it.

We women help each other.

It's a load off my back.

The city and the roads are rife with rumors about you.

I finally got to relax.

Okatsu, let me wash your back.

That's alright.

Don't be a stranger, I'll wash your back.

Thanks.

Hakone...

is twenty miles away...

even through swamps...

keep pushing forward...

to pass it...

and to be passed...

Let go of my arm.

Okyo, that was quite an act.

Don't underestimate me. I'm not the same princess.

You want the Statement hidden in this hairpin.

Okatsu, wait a second.

I'm doing it for Shinzaburo.

He forced me to find your note.

He said it would lead to his promotion.

Let go.

Okatsu, hand overthe Statement.

Shinzaburo, you too?

Quietly hand it over.

I'm avenging this afternoon!

I'll get you!

You wench!

Shinzaburo, I didn't mean to...

Shinzaburo, you've stooped to being Judayu's dog.

My parents believed in you.

Why don't you slit your belly for me here and now?

Go to heaven and apologize to my parents.

Shut up!

You really want me to kill you?

How'd you like that?

What a fine broad.

Be quiet.

Hand overthe Statement of Offenses.

Hand it over.

- Damn you! - Stop!

Who the hell are you?

Hey, woman.

Hey.

Let's get out.

Wait for me.

Come on, hurry.

- Master... - We caught a lot of fish!

Take a look!

Here.

You caught a lot.

Who caught them?

Hey!

Hey!

Master.

Look, I got mountain yam.

Wow, awesome!

How is she?

Get away from there!

Be quiet.

Hey!

Quiet.

Master, is she alright?

She's alright. She'll eventually wake up.

You can read?

Idiot. Sure I can...not.

You also can't read.

Of course, moron.

Shut up.

Why you...

Quiet, all of you.

Let's go to the big room.

Okatsu!

Master!

Master, I didn't know you were at this mountain temple.

I'd heard you quit the bureaucracy.

I'm a ronin through and through.

I got tired of teaching the sword to dumb samurai like you.

Shinzaburo, who asked you to kill that woman?

Master.

Okatsu must be killed by decree. Let this go.

Decree?

- Yes. - Shinzaburo.

Did Judayu Tashiro order you?

Let him go.

Your name is Okatsu?

Are you the daughter of Kazue Makabe?

I'm sorry. I went ahead and read it.

Those children's parents are all dead.

They do horrible things.

I knew Mr. Makabe well.

He was exceptionally noble amongst the aristocracy.

I can imagine...

what happened to yourfather.

Please give back the Statement.

NUMATA

Judayu, I have informed the Lord of the fruits of your labor in Edo.

I cannot thank you enough for your constant and extraordinary graces.

Your abilities are famous in this land.

I am humbled.

I owe it all to the patronage of the Castle Chamberlain.

I was right in choosing this man.

Judayu.

You're so mean.

You've been here three days and you don't even call.

Who do you think is going to get you the next Castle Chamberlain job?

Every night I whisper your name into that gray-haired man's ear.

Don't forget me, alright?

Judayu will be the Castle Chamberlain very soon.

Yeah.

He should be back soon.

Excuse me. Shinzaburo Mikami is requesting to see you.

What? Shinzaburo?

Yes.

Show him to the garden.

I found where Okatsu is.

Where?

Hayato Inugami is protecting her.

What, Hayato Inugami?

He is still in this domain?

Yes. I can not handle him.

You and Hayato are fabled rivals.

Only you can kill Hayato.

I came seeking your help.

Shinzaburo, what about Okatsu?

I am sorry.

What's going on?

He has found Okatsu's whereabouts.

But he has not yet captured her.

What? You fool.

Leave it to me.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

- Here. - Here.

- Me first. - No, me first.

Wait, alright?

- Take turns. - Me. Me.

You!

Master.

What are you making?

Can't you tell?

Buddha tablets forthose dead children's parents.

I don't know how much longer I can be here.

So I'm making them while there's time.

Master, are you leaving?

Where are you going?

I didn't say I'm leaving right away.

Okatsu, come out.

Come out.

Shinzaburo, you've come disrespectfully.

Okatsu is a guest of this temple.

I'm not handing her over.

Get serious.

This time you won't get away with it.

Hayato, so you're still alive in these mountains.

And you're up to your usual dirty tricks.

Don't move.

Move and we burn the temple down.

Hand over Okatsu.

I will not.

Not to anyone.

Wait.

Okatsu.

Shinzaburo.

Show me whether you're truly willing to kill Okatsu to get the Statement of Offenses.

I promised Judayu.

Shinzaburo, take me anywhere you want.

But leave the kids alone.

Okatsu, forgive me. Don't kill me.

You call yourself a man?

You're pathetic.

Fire.

Get out of the house.

Round the kids up and run.

Yes.

Everybody run.

Everyone hurry, run away.

- Master! - Master!

Sister!

Everyone get away!

Master, help me!

Master!

Wait.

Hayato.

What will you do about this child?

Master, save me!

Yoji.

Let go! Master!

Master!

Today we will go back. But don't think you've seen the last of us.

Got it?

Master!

Okatsu, are you going to kill Judayu?

Go now and you'll die like a dog.

The enemy is eagerly awaiting you.

Regardless of what happens to me, I will kill Judayu.

The wind blows...

A desperado blowing in the wind...

She's from hell...

She's Okatsu the Killer...

Where the wind blows...

She will go...

A woman passes through the theater of life...

She passes through...

Judayu, I promise to get the Statement and Okatsu's head.

Shinzaburo.

Have you forgotten why we spared your life?

I beg you. Give me one more chance.

He can't. What can this neophyte possibly do?

Right?

Just once.

Shut up.

I'm tired of your excuses.

Daizen.

Master Judayu.

Master Judayu!

Let go.

Don't resist.

You're going to get it.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Let go.

Hurry up.

Stop struggling.

Intruder!

It's you.

Osode?

Why are you here?

I am the daughter of Shozaimon Shimadaya.

I was instructed today to come here where it is safer.

So I came with my father.

Sister, why are you here?

I have business with Judayu Tashiro.

Osode, where is Judayu's room?

The Superintendent?

It's the annex toward the back.

What are your intentions?

No matter what happens,

don't move from here.

Understood?

Okatsu, it's unbecoming for a woman to brazenly kill the superintendent.

Osode!

Father, if you're going to shoot her, you'll have to shoot me.

Move aside.

I won't.

This woman saved my life.

Move!

Osode.

Osode!

Check the back!

Secure the gates!

Okatsu.

Judayu.

What are you going to do?

I'll find the right cemetery for you.

You'll never know how much I suffered.

I avenge my mother and father.

Somebody! Somebody come!

Go ahead. Kill her. Kill her.

Impressive.

Superintendent!

Don't let hertempt you!

Okatsu, leave this guy to me.

What can a failed master like you do?

Leave.

Not quite.

Kill them.

Kill them both.

You started this fight. I will end it.

Okatsu, go after Judayu.

I'll take care of the small fry.

It's Okatsu. She's coming!

What? Shit.

Bitch!

Wait a second.

You want to advance your career.

Judayu is soon to become Castle Chamberlain.

Don't be rash.

Put away your sword!

I'll show you whether I'm good enough to be a master.

Judayu.

Shinzaburo.

Okatsu, help me.

Shinzaburo!

Judayu.

It looks like a fitting cemetery for you.

Damn you!

Okatsu, save me.

Judayu, have you felt my parents' vengeance?

Help me.

Okatsu, please.

At least spare me.

Let go. I said let go!

Okatsu, I was wrong.

I will restore the Makabe family.

So forgive me.

Spare me.

You have to suffer.

You demon!

That's right. I am the Demon of Revenge.

Judayu.

Give up!

Okatsu.

You did well.

What you did was more than revenge.

You saved all the innocents.

Why don't you submit the Statement of Offenses and resurrect the Makabe family?

No. I have no affections for a samurai family.

I want to travel and pray for all the victims.

I see.

Then I'm going to start a little temple and live with the children.

Sister!

Three miles over the mountain ridge...

The new wind clears the sky...

Where will Okatsu go...

As she drives the birds away...

Good bye, sister!

Don't show your tears...

You must never show them...

A solitary traveler that skips the monsoons...

A solitary journey...

THE END
