2
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:32,387
How about that? You give up?

3
00:01:39,332 --> 00:01:41,823
You're free to go.

4
00:01:48,975 --> 00:01:51,307
I'm really sorry.

5
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:55,412
PIease forgive me.
I don't know who you are, but...

6
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:58,716
Huh? What the hell?

7
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,984
Oh, it's a Kannon statue.

8
00:02:03,223 --> 00:02:07,182
It's very nice to meet you.

9
00:02:07,494 --> 00:02:14,195
I'm a masseur named Ichi.
I always wanted to meet you.

10
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:07,953
What are you doing?

11
00:03:08,922 --> 00:03:10,116
Hey, that hurts!

12
00:03:12,258 --> 00:03:14,055
What the hell is this?

13
00:03:14,327 --> 00:03:17,785
What are you doing? Stop doing that!

14
00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:20,258
What are you doing?

15
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:23,731
I'm the one who wants to know!

16
00:03:24,137 --> 00:03:25,968
I know you were just taking a piss.

17
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:28,335
And now you're tying up
this Kannon statue.

18
00:03:28,474 --> 00:03:30,738
- Stop this blasphemous act!
- What are you saying?

19
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:33,778
This Kannon statue
is here to be tied up!

20
00:03:33,913 --> 00:03:36,643
Stop making things up! You...

21
00:03:36,816 --> 00:03:38,044
Let go of me!

22
00:03:39,085 --> 00:03:41,610
Ouch! Damn you!

23
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:45,953
You don't know what it is.
This statue is supposed to be tied up.

24
00:03:46,092 --> 00:03:49,528
If you tie it up and pray,
they say your wishes come true.

25
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:53,865
Oh, you're a blind masseur.

26
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,898
Why don't you come here and pray?

27
00:03:57,036 --> 00:03:58,901
Then maybe you can see again.

28
00:03:59,038 --> 00:03:59,800
I see.

29
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,407
Now I understand.

30
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:05,306
Sorry for bothering you.

31
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:08,938
Damned fool!

Tales of Zatoichi
The Kannon Statue That Was Tied

33
00:04:28,968 --> 00:04:30,868
Hey! Hey, it's dangerous!

34
00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:33,404
Hey somebody! It's dangerous!

35
00:04:43,783 --> 00:04:45,512
Oh, you're all right.

36
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:48,450
Come this way, quick.

37
00:05:14,113 --> 00:05:16,843
Huh? What the hell is that?

38
00:05:17,016 --> 00:05:20,417
I've never seen such
bad fighting in my Iife.

39
00:05:20,553 --> 00:05:22,077
Man, it's no fun.

40
00:05:24,590 --> 00:05:26,455
Oh, hey mister.

41
00:05:26,592 --> 00:05:30,619
Is it the Kichibee family of Sukegawa
and the Kangorou family of Hashiba?

42
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:32,925
- That's right.
- Why are they fighting?

43
00:05:33,032 --> 00:05:34,294
The Jizo statue.

44
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,300
Huh? The Jizo statue?

45
00:05:39,972 --> 00:05:42,167
KANGOROU

46
00:05:42,642 --> 00:05:44,701
- Hanji from Donden?
- Yes.

47
00:05:44,877 --> 00:05:46,845
I have no boss or henchmen...

48
00:05:46,946 --> 00:05:50,313
Don't worry about introducing
yourself. What do you want?

49
00:05:50,783 --> 00:05:55,186
I heard the Sukegawa family is fighting
over that Jizo statue by Tone River.

50
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:55,946
Yeah.

51
00:05:56,055 --> 00:05:57,283
That's right.

52
00:05:57,457 --> 00:06:01,325
A Iocal police station is gonna be
constructed on that spot.

53
00:06:01,494 --> 00:06:04,952
So they have to move that
Jizo statue somewhere else.

54
00:06:05,064 --> 00:06:06,691
I see.

55
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:11,466
But Boss, you know the festival
once every three months...

56
00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:14,765
...for that Jizo statue
probably has Iarge turnouts.

57
00:06:15,441 --> 00:06:19,468
Sukegawa and I have been taking turns
Iooking after the gambling place...

58
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:23,241
...the Iocal administrator and the
public officials allowed us to open.

59
00:06:23,349 --> 00:06:27,376
If they move the Jizo statue,
I would want it in my territory.

60
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,012
And you see, Boss, I have a great idea.

61
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:33,954
- Great idea?
- Yes, Ichi.

62
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:35,617
That Zatoichi...

63
00:06:35,762 --> 00:06:36,820
Zatoichi?

64
00:06:36,963 --> 00:06:42,128
Yes, that's right. In order to get that
Jizo statue, we need to use Zatoichi.

65
00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:45,068
You know Zatoichi, right?

66
00:06:45,204 --> 00:06:48,139
Yeah, I've heard of him.

67
00:06:48,474 --> 00:06:53,343
But we don't have time to find the guy.
You don't know where he is.

68
00:06:53,513 --> 00:06:56,539
You got this all wrong, Boss.

69
00:06:56,716 --> 00:07:00,174
I came to help you.

70
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:05,120
Ichi and I are real good buddies after
we had drinks over at a Iodge in Itako.

71
00:07:05,291 --> 00:07:08,727
I pretty much know where he's at.

72
00:07:09,462 --> 00:07:11,555
You're gonna bring him here?

73
00:07:11,798 --> 00:07:15,757
Yes, well, that depends on
what you can give me.

74
00:07:28,347 --> 00:07:29,575
That's it?

75
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:32,242
No, no, no! I'II take it.

76
00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:36,646
If you bring him here,
I'II give you five ryos.

77
00:07:36,889 --> 00:07:37,856
Five ryos?

78
00:07:38,024 --> 00:07:39,423
Yes, five ryos.

79
00:07:39,592 --> 00:07:41,355
KlCHlBEE

80
00:07:41,494 --> 00:07:44,554
You can say that because
you don't know Ichi.

81
00:07:44,797 --> 00:07:50,861
I saw him at the Matsuida Iodge
over on Nakasen road.

82
00:07:51,938 --> 00:07:55,533
It'II be a tremendous help
if Ichi can join us.

83
00:07:58,177 --> 00:08:01,010
Hey, bring him here as soon as possible.

84
00:08:02,381 --> 00:08:03,075
Yes.

85
00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:07,013
We'II talk after you bring Ichi over here.

86
00:08:08,087 --> 00:08:15,016
With a gambling place by the Jizo statue,
we can easily get twenty or thirty ryos.

87
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:22,759
I brought the masseur.

88
00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:24,493
- I want the woman.
- Yes.

89
00:08:24,637 --> 00:08:26,366
I want the woman who can sing.

90
00:08:26,472 --> 00:08:27,234
Yes.

91
00:08:30,943 --> 00:08:32,774
Thank you very much.

92
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:37,681
I'm sorry that this
unattractive fool came first.

93
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:49,888
Who should I give a massage first?

94
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:09,880
This is one scary room
I've been invited to.

95
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:15,249
Gentlemen, if you're gonna tease me
Iike that, I'II put a curse on you.

96
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:16,785
Unbelievable.

97
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:24,924
You smell. You're a smelly masseur.

98
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:30,059
I'm sorry. You people called me
just as I was about to take a bath.

99
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,231
I'm finished.

100
00:09:36,542 --> 00:09:37,634
I see.

101
00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:42,108
Then who's next?

102
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:44,779
Me.

103
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:52,417
Thank you for inviting me this evening.

104
00:09:52,558 --> 00:09:54,287
She's finally here.

105
00:09:54,393 --> 00:09:56,384
Oh, it's you, from the Kannon statue.

106
00:09:56,529 --> 00:09:58,827
- I never thought I'd meet you here.
- Hey masseur, be quiet!

107
00:09:58,965 --> 00:10:02,059
- Give me a massage!
- Do something sexy will ya?

108
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:04,766
Yes.

109
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:07,796
When did you come back?

110
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:12,502
Don't you know me? Huh?

111
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:17,740
I may have seen you somewhere, but...

112
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:21,010
She's a fine Iooking woman.

113
00:10:21,387 --> 00:10:24,515
You must know a thing or two
to get a woman Iike this.

114
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:32,931
Nevermind.

115
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:36,198
Just do something.

116
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:38,269
What shall I do?

117
00:10:39,071 --> 00:10:44,634
Since you returned from prison, how
about a traditional folk song of Sado?

118
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:46,107
Yes.

119
00:10:57,857 --> 00:11:00,951
Hey, she does have a tattoo.

120
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:07,332
Hey guys, take a Iook.

121
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,560
A woman's tattoo is very sexy.

122
00:11:10,703 --> 00:11:13,331
- Yeah, she was in prison all right.
- Why did you go to prison?

123
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,770
I wish I could sleep with
a woman Iike this.

124
00:11:17,143 --> 00:11:18,132
Enough.

125
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:20,805
Keep playing.

126
00:11:26,385 --> 00:11:33,882
Ha-ah! To Sado Island...

127
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:41,360
Grasses and trees are being
blown to Sado Island...

128
00:11:41,567 --> 00:11:42,625
Okoma.

129
00:11:44,603 --> 00:11:47,367
I believe it was three years ago.

130
00:11:52,244 --> 00:11:57,807
This woman was with a
wanderer three years ago.

131
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:05,417
Am I right?

132
00:12:08,928 --> 00:12:13,592
She was with some inexperienced guy.

133
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:16,658
An actor.

134
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:21,267
She was supposed to marry the guy.

135
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:27,008
But the Ieader of the troupe
fell in Iove with her.

136
00:12:30,015 --> 00:12:32,711
He tried to rape her.

137
00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:38,987
And that's when the actor
came on to the scene.

138
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:47,722
He killed the Ieader of the troupe.

139
00:12:52,138 --> 00:12:57,735
You took the Ieader's money,
and ran away with the actor.

140
00:13:02,248 --> 00:13:08,551
But they were eventually caught.

141
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:12,315
The guy was beheaded.

142
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:16,826
You were sent to prison.

143
00:13:19,398 --> 00:13:24,426
And she was pregnant with his child.

144
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,540
I gave birth to a baby girl
in a town nearby.

145
00:13:33,445 --> 00:13:37,677
I never got to see my baby's face.

146
00:13:38,918 --> 00:13:43,412
Then I was sent to a prison
on Miyake island.

147
00:13:44,557 --> 00:13:50,359
Every time my breasts get stiff, I
think that my child needs breastmilk.

148
00:13:52,698 --> 00:13:55,098
I really want to see her.

149
00:13:57,069 --> 00:14:00,630
I cry every time I think about her.

150
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:07,210
I'm sorry you had to Iisten to all this.

151
00:14:07,446 --> 00:14:09,141
Don't worry about it.

152
00:14:09,281 --> 00:14:12,478
Did you get to meet your child?

153
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:16,445
When I got back to Edo, I went
to find her straight away.

154
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:19,115
Luckily, a prison guard took care of her.

155
00:14:19,258 --> 00:14:21,920
Really? That was very nice of him.

156
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:29,331
Everything was fine, but the guard quit
his job and returned to his hometown.

157
00:14:29,635 --> 00:14:33,696
And where is this guard's hometown?

158
00:14:35,507 --> 00:14:41,241
I heard he Iives near Tone River, but...

159
00:14:42,815 --> 00:14:45,750
I don't really know anything...

160
00:14:45,918 --> 00:14:51,481
When you were tying up the Kannon
statue, I thought you'd gone crazy.

161
00:14:52,157 --> 00:14:55,058
I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.

162
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:04,258
I never told anyone about this until now.

163
00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:08,837
And what's this guard's name?

164
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:13,109
I know his name is Kisuke.

165
00:15:13,779 --> 00:15:16,077
But I've never met him.

166
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:21,284
I wonder what he named my child.

167
00:15:23,722 --> 00:15:26,190
She's already three years old.

168
00:15:26,425 --> 00:15:29,155
And how old is this fellow named
Kisuke?

169
00:15:29,295 --> 00:15:30,922
He's sixty years old.

170
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:34,755
You shouldn't feel discouraged.

171
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:39,230
Starting tomorrow, I'II help you find her.

172
00:15:40,973 --> 00:15:42,463
But you can't...

173
00:15:42,574 --> 00:15:44,974
I can't see, but I have ears.

174
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:48,637
Ms. Okoma, Iet's celebrate, shall we?

175
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:51,414
Let's drink it up. Drink it up.

176
00:16:00,092 --> 00:16:02,526
Thank you very much.

177
00:16:02,661 --> 00:16:06,256
I'II go and find her for you.

178
00:16:07,666 --> 00:16:09,099
Mr. Ichi...

179
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:14,134
Even if you can't find her, please
meet me at the ferry by Tone River.

180
00:16:14,273 --> 00:16:15,001
Yes.

181
00:17:30,516 --> 00:17:36,819
If I can get a meal by doing this,
then I'II keep doing this easy job.

182
00:17:36,955 --> 00:17:39,082
Excuse me.

183
00:17:39,258 --> 00:17:42,591
Have you seen a man
in his sixties named Kisuke...

184
00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:46,027
...and a Iittle girl of
about three-years old?

185
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:49,723
That is really none of my business.

186
00:18:03,982 --> 00:18:05,916
Zatoichi, huh?

187
00:18:07,252 --> 00:18:09,686
What have I done?

188
00:18:10,522 --> 00:18:12,990
I wonder where he could be?

189
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:17,191
I have no Ieads to his whereabouts.

190
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:21,062
Ah, forget it! I'II just
have to see how Iucky I am.

191
00:18:26,004 --> 00:18:27,904
Oh! Hey, masseur!

192
00:18:28,073 --> 00:18:30,132
You! Yeah, you right there!

193
00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:33,403
Hey, come here, come here!
This way, this way, this way!

194
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:34,273
Okay.

195
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,410
Hey, you're a masseur, right?

196
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:40,542
You know a masseur named Zatoichi?

197
00:18:40,719 --> 00:18:42,311
-Zatoichi...
-Right.

198
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:47,414
If you can pretend to be this Zatoichi,
we can get twenty to thirty ryos.

199
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:50,720
Hey, hey! Wait, wait,
just wait a minute!

200
00:18:50,996 --> 00:18:54,864
If you're a masseur, you can only
make Iike sixteen mon, right?

201
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:57,800
If we work together, you can
get twenty to thirty ryos!

202
00:18:57,936 --> 00:19:00,564
Twenty to thirty ryos?

203
00:19:00,706 --> 00:19:03,539
Thanks, but no thanks.

204
00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:05,605
What a punk!

205
00:19:06,645 --> 00:19:13,744
It seems Iike you're all fighting over
where this Jizo statue ends up.

206
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:17,856
But stop taking part
in this useless fight.

207
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:25,688
I'II decide where the statue
ends up within a month.

208
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:31,628
Each one of you wants
a piece of this statue...

209
00:19:32,638 --> 00:19:36,540
...but this statue will end up with
a man of great power.

210
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:39,577
A man of great power?

211
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:45,513
It might not end up within
either of your territories.

212
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:48,848
But officer, that Jizo statue has been
on this Iand for a very Iong time.

213
00:19:48,987 --> 00:19:50,648
Yes, that's right.

214
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:54,725
You should move the statue within
the area of the Tone River fields.

215
00:19:54,826 --> 00:19:55,918
Be quiet!

216
00:19:56,395 --> 00:19:58,727
I won't take orders from you people.

217
00:19:59,665 --> 00:20:01,690
I'II decide what to do.

218
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:07,571
I need a person who can manage
the festival for the Jizo statue.

219
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:14,305
I don't care which side it goes to,
I won't allow this kind of behavior.

220
00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:16,942
Get my horse!

221
00:20:18,483 --> 00:20:19,211
Hey!

222
00:21:14,206 --> 00:21:17,039
I don't know who you are...

223
00:21:17,309 --> 00:21:20,767
But I'm a masseur,
so please Iet me pass.

224
00:21:21,013 --> 00:21:23,743
I'm a public officer on patrol.

225
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:27,942
And why do I have to Iet
a masseur Iike you pass by?

226
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:31,852
Besides, you smell horrible.

227
00:21:32,090 --> 00:21:35,685
I won't Iet you walk on
this road smelling Iike that!

228
00:21:38,764 --> 00:21:42,256
I smell because of the sweat.

229
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:46,127
If I take a bath, it'II go away.

230
00:21:46,405 --> 00:21:47,337
Hey!

231
00:21:48,006 --> 00:21:51,442
You can't wash away the
smell of corruption.

232
00:21:51,677 --> 00:21:53,406
What did you say?

233
00:22:11,363 --> 00:22:12,421
Let's go!

234
00:22:13,932 --> 00:22:15,092
Officer!

235
00:22:16,401 --> 00:22:17,425
Officer!

236
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:19,903
Master Shimokura!

237
00:22:25,644 --> 00:22:29,978
Boss, it Iooks Iike we can get
the territory by the Jizo statue.

238
00:22:30,082 --> 00:22:31,242
Of course!

239
00:22:31,383 --> 00:22:36,218
You noticed the officer was Iooking
in my direction more than Kichibee's?

240
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:41,054
You can't forget the money you put up
his sleeve. That's definitely gonna work!

241
00:22:41,259 --> 00:22:44,092
Shinpachi, I'm gonna do it!

242
00:22:44,229 --> 00:22:46,629
-Do what?
-I'm gonna crush the Kichibee family!

243
00:22:46,732 --> 00:22:49,667
He told us not to engage
in a useless fight...

244
00:22:49,768 --> 00:22:53,397
You idiot! He said that just for
the hell of it. Are you kidding me?

245
00:22:53,538 --> 00:22:57,338
Boss, that officer was saying something
about a man of great power.

246
00:22:57,442 --> 00:23:00,411
He must've been pointing something out.

247
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:04,072
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

248
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:07,947
I guess there's no other way
but to crush the Kangorou family.

249
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:11,545
We must get Zatoichi to help us.

250
00:23:35,213 --> 00:23:36,612
There we go.

251
00:23:36,882 --> 00:23:39,612
Let's call it a day, shall we?

252
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:40,446
Yes.

253
00:23:43,555 --> 00:23:48,254
I have to clean some of that, and...

254
00:23:50,495 --> 00:23:53,623
Excuse me. Can I rest here for a bit?

255
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:55,494
Welcome.

256
00:24:01,373 --> 00:24:03,136
Have a cup of tea.

257
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:06,142
Huh? Oh, thank you very much.

258
00:24:07,045 --> 00:24:13,450
It's really hard to find people if
you don't know the area too well.

259
00:24:13,685 --> 00:24:16,745
Must be very hard for you
if you can't see.

260
00:24:16,888 --> 00:24:18,822
Who are you Iooking for?

261
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:23,291
Yes, well I'm Iooking for a Iittle girl
about three-years old and...

262
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:24,726
Grandpa.

263
00:24:24,996 --> 00:24:27,487
Hey, thanks.

264
00:24:30,035 --> 00:24:31,434
Kisuke...

265
00:24:34,706 --> 00:24:38,073
I'm Iooking for a man named Kisuke.

266
00:24:39,611 --> 00:24:44,344
He used to be a prison guard
in a small town.

267
00:24:46,117 --> 00:24:50,315
I'm also Iooking for a cute Iittle girl
just Iike her.

268
00:24:54,092 --> 00:24:55,650
Who are you?

269
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:58,394
I'm just a traveling masseur.

270
00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:00,361
Who sent you?

271
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:04,097
We can't talk here.

272
00:25:04,236 --> 00:25:07,034
Come this way. Come on.

273
00:25:11,142 --> 00:25:13,542
Hey, go play over there.

274
00:25:13,778 --> 00:25:14,802
PIease.

275
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:18,012
Well, thanks.

276
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:31,788
Ever since I came here, I've never
told anyone my real name or my past.

277
00:25:32,898 --> 00:25:35,628
So why do you know about me?

278
00:25:35,734 --> 00:25:37,326
What do you want?

279
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:42,168
That girl outside. I'm assuming
she's Ms. Okoma's daughter.

280
00:25:42,274 --> 00:25:45,801
Huh? You know Okoma?

281
00:25:46,144 --> 00:25:49,671
No, I'm just a passerby.

282
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:54,242
Okoma came back from the island?

283
00:25:55,587 --> 00:25:58,078
Where is she right now?

284
00:25:58,723 --> 00:26:04,389
She'II be here soon.
I arranged to meet her here.

285
00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:09,867
Hey mister, I'm begging ya. PIease Ieave.

286
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:12,662
Pretend you didn't see anything and
Ieave.

287
00:26:13,004 --> 00:26:15,973
I'm used to not seeing anything.

288
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:19,074
But can you please explain why?

289
00:26:41,366 --> 00:26:43,163
How old are you?

290
00:26:44,536 --> 00:26:46,731
Three?

291
00:26:47,639 --> 00:26:51,769
And what is your name?

292
00:26:51,977 --> 00:26:52,944
Aya.

293
00:26:53,244 --> 00:26:55,838
You really don't get it, do you?

294
00:26:56,147 --> 00:27:00,208
I don't want that child to suffer
because of her mother.

295
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:03,412
But her natural parent has come back.

296
00:27:03,521 --> 00:27:06,456
I understand. I really understand that.

297
00:27:06,591 --> 00:27:10,891
And I also realize that
she's not a bad person.

298
00:27:11,029 --> 00:27:12,394
Then why?

299
00:27:12,530 --> 00:27:19,732
Mister, I was a prison guard and I know
hundreds and thousands of criminals.

300
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:26,474
When a person commits a crime, they
get a tattoo. You can't scrub that off.

301
00:27:26,845 --> 00:27:30,281
I can't Iet a criminal take that child.

302
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:34,782
Ms. Okoma is not that kind of a person.

303
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:39,750
Even though she has a tattoo,
she truly cares about her child.

304
00:27:39,924 --> 00:27:42,916
She truly cares for her child, huh?

305
00:27:43,094 --> 00:27:47,997
But how do you think
people will treat her?

306
00:27:48,533 --> 00:27:55,268
Even if she tries to Iive an honest Iife,
she's gonna have a hard time.

307
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:59,476
I can't Iet that child be
with a mother Iike that.

308
00:27:59,711 --> 00:28:08,710
I already told her that
her mother died a Iong time ago.

309
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:13,855
Mr. Kisuke.

310
00:28:15,126 --> 00:28:22,760
If Ms. Okoma gets rid of her tattoo,
can you give her back the child?

311
00:28:23,034 --> 00:28:28,165
It's not Iike a painting by an artist,
or a tattoo drawn by an actor.

312
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:30,841
It stays with you forever.

313
00:28:31,009 --> 00:28:34,137
Then why not just burn it off?

314
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:38,648
It's a crime to burn off a tattoo Iike that.

315
00:28:38,850 --> 00:28:42,479
PIease understand what I'm saying.

316
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,829
It's nice to meet you at Iast. I'm Okoma.

317
00:29:02,107 --> 00:29:06,373
I know I'm not in any position
to say this.

318
00:29:07,812 --> 00:29:12,715
But I gave birth to my child, and I was
not able to hold her even once.

319
00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:16,810
PIease understand how I feel.

320
00:29:18,890 --> 00:29:22,917
In these past three years,
the only thing keeping me alive...

321
00:29:23,361 --> 00:29:27,422
...was the thought of finding her
and Iiving together with her.

322
00:29:27,665 --> 00:29:34,730
If you can't hand me my child because
I have a tattoo, then I'II be glad to...

323
00:29:40,945 --> 00:29:43,175
...burn it off myself!

324
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:47,743
Ms. Okoma.

325
00:29:48,686 --> 00:29:54,090
Where is your tattoo Iocated?

326
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:03,298
Mister, you...

327
00:30:03,434 --> 00:30:07,962
Sorry about that. If I cut it off,
it's the same thing as getting injured.

328
00:30:08,106 --> 00:30:10,939
You won't be blamed for it.

329
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:16,574
Mr. Ichi...

330
00:30:17,882 --> 00:30:19,247
Grandpa.

331
00:30:20,985 --> 00:30:22,009
Aya...

332
00:30:22,787 --> 00:30:24,379
It's your mother.

333
00:30:24,522 --> 00:30:27,286
Let her give you a hug.

334
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:29,126
Mr. Kisuke...

335
00:30:42,540 --> 00:30:45,168
Hey, Hanji! You bastard!

336
00:30:45,376 --> 00:30:47,401
- Oh! It's the money Iender.
- Where's Zatoichi?

337
00:30:47,512 --> 00:30:49,980
I'm guessing you found him by now. Eh?

338
00:30:50,114 --> 00:30:51,741
Well the thing is...

339
00:30:51,883 --> 00:30:53,145
What is it?

340
00:30:53,284 --> 00:30:55,582
Well, I found him all right.

341
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,748
But he said that he couldn't choose
between the Sukegawa or Hashiba.

342
00:31:00,892 --> 00:31:02,325
You bastard!

343
00:31:03,294 --> 00:31:05,285
What the hell are you saying?

344
00:31:05,396 --> 00:31:08,832
You took our money and ran.
AII right, you wanna be Iike that?

345
00:31:09,033 --> 00:31:11,126
I got a good idea!

346
00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:13,965
It's a really good idea.
Just wait right there.

347
00:31:14,105 --> 00:31:16,767
I'II bring him over.

348
00:31:16,975 --> 00:31:17,999
Hey!

349
00:31:22,513 --> 00:31:26,005
I'm not gonna get killed
for just two ryos.

350
00:31:28,119 --> 00:31:30,986
But what am I gonna do?

351
00:31:36,461 --> 00:31:40,056
Oh, it's you again!
I was Iooking all over for ya!

352
00:31:40,198 --> 00:31:43,725
Can you just come with me? I'm not
asking you to do anything difficult.

353
00:31:43,868 --> 00:31:46,336
Did you say something about money?

354
00:31:46,471 --> 00:31:48,803
Yeah, we can easily get five ryos.

355
00:31:50,241 --> 00:31:51,970
I mean ten ryos!

356
00:31:52,277 --> 00:31:53,744
No, fifty ryos!

357
00:31:54,779 --> 00:31:57,646
Are you sure about that? Fifty ryos?

358
00:31:57,749 --> 00:32:01,742
Yeah! Don't worry, you're
gonna be safe with me. Okay?

359
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,749
- AII I have to do is sit in silence, right?
- No, you can't just sit in silence.

360
00:32:05,857 --> 00:32:07,791
You have to say a Iine or two.

361
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:09,951
What should I say?

362
00:32:10,094 --> 00:32:12,722
Something Iike "What an unhappy Iife..."

363
00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:15,230
Now Iet's go! I'm counting on ya! Hurry!

364
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:19,996
Who's this?

365
00:32:20,138 --> 00:32:27,670
We were sent by the public official, Mr.
Senjuro Shimokura, to assist in the fight.

366
00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:29,742
Help us with the fight?

367
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:31,644
From the public official?

368
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:35,549
So he was planning on
helping us from the beginning.

369
00:32:35,687 --> 00:32:37,552
Thank you very much. PIease!

370
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:45,458
We were sent by the public official, Mr.
Senjuro Shimokura, to assist in the fight.

371
00:32:45,663 --> 00:32:48,131
The Public official must be very sharp.

372
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:53,101
He thinks the Sukegawa family
deserves it more. PIease, come in!

373
00:32:54,272 --> 00:32:57,867
Hey, just wait here for a minute, will ya?

374
00:32:59,410 --> 00:33:01,241
Excuse me!

375
00:33:01,679 --> 00:33:04,944
Boss, what do you think?
I didn't Iie to you, right?

376
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:08,075
I brought Zatoichi just Iike I promised.

377
00:33:09,087 --> 00:33:13,114
We just had three people sent
over from the public official.

378
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:18,627
And, we get Mr. Zatoichi.
Now, we have nothing to fear.

379
00:33:18,763 --> 00:33:19,752
Yes.

380
00:33:20,565 --> 00:33:25,867
But Hanji, do you have any proof
that this is the real Zatoichi?

381
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:29,405
Well, you know, yeah.
Boss, have some drink.

382
00:33:29,540 --> 00:33:31,667
Get ready, here, please.

383
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:33,299
I'm sorry.

384
00:33:33,444 --> 00:33:35,071
Oh, damn it.

385
00:33:37,782 --> 00:33:39,511
You don't Iike this Iife, right?

386
00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:42,084
- Are we starting already?
- You idiot!

387
00:33:44,422 --> 00:33:46,856
What an unhappy Iife.

388
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:54,855
Hey Boss, what do you think?
That was Zatoichi's famous Iine.

389
00:33:55,333 --> 00:33:58,461
Well, then Iet's see those
great sword skills, eh?

390
00:33:59,270 --> 00:34:00,601
Sword skills?

391
00:34:00,772 --> 00:34:03,935
Boss, you can see
his sword skills in the fight...

392
00:34:04,108 --> 00:34:05,439
Boss.

393
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:11,481
Can I get some sake?

394
00:34:13,418 --> 00:34:15,511
Give him a cup of sake.

395
00:34:38,109 --> 00:34:39,804
He's the real Zatoichi.

396
00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:46,978
Okay, I'II take him!

397
00:34:47,518 --> 00:34:50,180

400
00:34:54,292 --> 00:34:54,917
Okay.

401
00:34:55,059 --> 00:34:57,152
Can I get an advance payment?

402
00:34:57,295 --> 00:34:58,853
Here's twenty-five ryos.

403
00:34:58,963 --> 00:35:01,022
Twenty-five ryos? You said fifty...

404
00:35:01,132 --> 00:35:03,828
I'II give you the rest
after the fighting is done.

405
00:35:03,968 --> 00:35:07,096
AII right, then Mr. Ichi...

406
00:35:07,271 --> 00:35:09,262
Where are you going?

407
00:35:09,407 --> 00:35:13,309
Well, you see, there's a woman
waiting for Mr. Ichi outside.

408
00:35:13,478 --> 00:35:17,471
Unbelievable, Mr. Ichi. You have weak
eyes, but you're strong with women.

409
00:35:17,615 --> 00:35:19,742
Okay, take your time.

410
00:35:19,884 --> 00:35:21,715
Yes, I'II see you Iater.

411
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:31,795
PIease forgive me. I didn't really
know you were the real Zatoichi.

412
00:35:37,068 --> 00:35:39,059
Hey, please forgive me.

413
00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:43,903
I don't really care about what you did.
Give me the money.

414
00:35:44,775 --> 00:35:47,141
Sure, sure.

415
00:35:47,512 --> 00:35:49,173
Here it is.

416
00:35:53,718 --> 00:35:55,845
Give me your hand.

417
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,087
Okay.

418
00:35:59,423 --> 00:36:01,516
This is yours.

419
00:36:01,659 --> 00:36:04,253
You're giving me this much?

420
00:36:04,729 --> 00:36:08,130
But, I need you to do me a favor.

421
00:36:08,266 --> 00:36:09,164
Sure.

422
00:36:10,334 --> 00:36:14,464
Near the Jizo statue,
is a woman named Okoma.

423
00:36:16,474 --> 00:36:19,068
I want you to give her this money.

424
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:23,408
You want me to deliver
this Iarge sum of money?

425
00:36:24,081 --> 00:36:27,517
Oh, I'II deliver it all right.

426
00:36:27,752 --> 00:36:29,947
But can you give this to me?

427
00:36:30,821 --> 00:36:34,552
I mean, can you really give me
this amount and trust me with it?

428
00:36:34,659 --> 00:36:37,253
I'm counting on you.

429
00:36:44,068 --> 00:36:46,161
I'II definitely deliver this.

430
00:36:47,138 --> 00:36:52,337
This is the first time
anyone's ever trusted me.

431
00:36:54,278 --> 00:36:56,075
First time ever.

432
00:36:58,649 --> 00:36:59,513
Thanks.

433
00:37:04,989 --> 00:37:07,321
You... you must be Okoma.

434
00:37:07,425 --> 00:37:08,016
Yes.

435
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:10,184
You're really Okoma, right?

436
00:37:16,267 --> 00:37:19,327
I was told by Zatoichi
to deliver this to you.

437
00:37:19,437 --> 00:37:23,533
This is the first time I've delivered
someone's money without stealing it.

438
00:37:24,141 --> 00:37:27,110
Do you know how I feel right now?

439
00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:31,808
You can't possibly understand!

440
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:36,918
You can't possibly understand!

441
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:36,840
Kill them!

442
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:45,412
Hey mister! What the... no...

443
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:48,015
What are you doing?

444
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:49,921
Hey, what's going on?

445
00:38:50,061 --> 00:38:52,791
You're killing the wrong guys!

446
00:38:53,097 --> 00:38:56,066
Hey, stop this!

447
00:39:11,916 --> 00:39:13,281
Help me!

448
00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:24,017
Stop! What the hell are you doing?

449
00:39:26,931 --> 00:39:27,829
FIee...

450
00:40:08,372 --> 00:40:10,602
Help me... help me!

451
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:12,539
Help me!

452
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:42,133
Just Iike we agreed,

453
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:42,967
Thanks.

454
00:41:00,424 --> 00:41:03,188
There's one more filthy bit of scum Ieft.

455
00:41:03,828 --> 00:41:07,423
Masseur, stop right there.

456
00:41:08,532 --> 00:41:11,524
If you go beyond there,
you're going to hell!

457
00:41:13,170 --> 00:41:16,571
I smell a man of corruption.

458
00:41:17,174 --> 00:41:19,165
So we meet again.

459
00:41:23,180 --> 00:41:24,374
Kill him!

460
00:41:30,287 --> 00:41:37,659
I can't Iet a person Iike you
Iive freely in this world.

461
00:42:09,827 --> 00:42:12,022
Don't come any closer!

462
00:42:13,764 --> 00:42:15,925
Don't come any closer!

463
00:42:22,907 --> 00:42:24,374
Get off the horse.

464
00:43:20,731 --> 00:43:24,030
Thank you very much for everything.

465
00:43:24,301 --> 00:43:28,328
Ms. Okoma reunited with her daughter.

466
00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:31,870
I need to ask you a favor.

467
00:43:32,076 --> 00:43:34,237
My eyes...

468
00:43:37,348 --> 00:43:40,681
Can you help me see just a Iittle bit?

469
00:43:42,853 --> 00:43:48,758
I was waiting here, since this is
the only path that Ieads to the main road.

470
00:43:49,159 --> 00:43:53,255
Mr. Ichi, thank you
very much for everything.

471
00:43:55,099 --> 00:43:59,763
Mr. Kisuke said he wants to
Iive with me and my daughter.

472
00:43:59,903 --> 00:44:01,996
That's wonderful.

473
00:44:03,340 --> 00:44:07,071
I'II never forget about you, Mr. Ichi.

474
00:44:07,911 --> 00:44:11,278
Thank you for the money.

475
00:44:12,182 --> 00:44:13,513
No problem.

476
00:44:22,993 --> 00:44:24,358
A hairpin?

477
00:44:25,496 --> 00:44:29,956
This is only a token of my gratitude,
but please take it with you.

478
00:44:32,069 --> 00:44:35,038
Thanks, I'II gladly accept it.

00:44:35,673 --> 00:44:41,873
Kannon statue, please Iet me see

480
00:44:46,650 --> 00:44:52,850
I would Iove to hear your
traditional folk song of Sado once more.

481
00:44:57,594 --> 00:45:06,002
Ha-ah! To Sado Island...

482
00:45:06,737 --> 00:45:16,271
Grasses and trees are being
blown to Sado Island...

483
00:45:16,547 --> 00:45:19,573
A-ryah-a-ryah-a-ryah-seh!

484
00:45:19,783 --> 00:45:32,526
Sado Island is forty-nine miles
away over the waves...

485
00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:36,892
A-ryah-a-ryah-a-ryah-seh!

486
00:46:19,710 --> 00:46:22,770
To Be Continued...

487

A wandering samurai with a blind sister
gets acquainted with Zatoichi by chance.

488
00:46:31,355 --> 00:46:34,483
But while doing dirty deeds
for his boss...

489
00:46:34,625 --> 00:46:38,391
...an irony of fate forces
them to fight each other.
