Man, what a downpour!

I can't believe it!

It even got in my ears.

Lose my hearing, too,
and I'll really be finished.

Sure caught me by surprise.

Is someone there?

No?

Then I guess I needn't worry
about appearances.

I'm sopping wet.

I just hope it lets up soon.

Still got water in my ear.

Man, oh, man.

Forage on scum like this
and you'll get a stomachache.

ZATOICHI & THE FUGITIVES

Original story by KANSHI MOZAWA
Screenplay by KINYA NAOI

Starring:

SHINTARO KATSU

YUMIKO NOGAWA, KAYO MIKIMOTO
KYOSUKE MACHIDA

Directed by KIMIYOSHI YASUDA

Man, is it hot!

Amazing.

The blind man fears no snake.

- How do you like that?
- So there!

Say something, dear!
Talk to me!

What happened?

This is bad.
We need to get him to a doctor.

That man's blind.

DR. JUNAN

Who did that to your daddy?

Some gangsters?

You just watched
while they beat your father up?

What could I do
against gangsters?

Please come inside and rest.

Have some tea. I'll set it here.

How does he look?

It's pretty bad, but he'll live.

We won't be able to move him
for two or three days.

Are you the one
who helped bring Seisaku here?

That was very good of you...
especially considering you're blind.

We all need help sometimes.

I should be going.
- Thanks again for your help.

Thanks, mister.

YOSHIDA INN

The folks upstairs
are stirring up a lot of dust.

I'm so sorry.

I wonder if you'd be willing
to offer your services.

Sure. I was hoping
I might find some work.

Thank you very much.

Some tea, sir.

I'll be there shortly.

Let go of me!

Come on! Let me see it!

Ugly dog.

Come over here, masseur.

Interesting fellow.

I'll just get started.

Are you folks perhaps
part of a brotherhood somewhere?

Brotherhood?
No, we're not gangsters.

- Just ruffians, then.
- What was that?

At any rate,
you're not ordinary folk.

What's it to you?

Guess, then.

Well, let's see.

You'll never guess.

Actually, I can.

I've got a pretty good idea,

but I value my life, so...

What?

Never mind.
Just muttering to myself.

This spot right here
feels awfully tight.

Follow along this muscle and...

Idiot!

Get out of here!

- I've barely started.
- Forget it. Get out.

- All right.
- You don't know your own strength.

Normally I give
a full upper and lower massage,

but since I only did the upper,
I'd like ten mon.

You want to be paid?
You barely touched me!

- It's my livelihood.
- Forget it. Get out!

But, sir...

I told you to get out!

Don't go, then.

In fact, I'm not gonna let you go
even if you want to.

For a blind man, you've got guts.

Here you go.

Thank you very much, sir.

So, blind man, what'll you do now?

Lookee here.
The blind man's blood is red, too.

What if I do this?

Shall we take off one of your ears?

Or would you prefer the nose?

What's going on here?

Go.

If I'd come any later,
your heads would have flown.

Don't be ridiculous.
What could a blind man do?

Never mind.

Aki and the others aren't here yet?
- No.

Why are we gathering
in a backwater like this?

I'll tell you later.

You say that's the guy
who killed Ino and Denji?

Uh-huh. He's no ordinary masseur.

Damn that blind bastard!

Kumeji!

The others are waiting for us.

You can deal
with the masseur later.

Come in, sir.

Thank you very much.

Tobei! More sake!

What happened to your face?

It's nothing.

Waitress,
could you bring me a bottle?

Did they kick you out of the inn?

I left on my own accord.

Here, have a drink.

Thank you.

Here you are, sir.

Thank you.

You're very good at that.

You'll need a place to stay.

I'm sure I can find some place.

Tell you what:
Come to my place.

Massage, acupuncture, moxa...
they're all part of doctoring.

You can stay with me
and ply your trade.

You think I'll be able
to make money at your place?

Of course you can.

Now that that's decided,
we can really settle down and drink.

Hey, Tobei! Keep the sake coming.

MATSUGORO

A woman?

She said she needs
to see you in private.

- Is she alone?
- Yes.

Show her in.

What is it, at this hour?

My name is Aki.

I've come to request a favor.

- A favor?
- Yes.

I'm looking for a place to hide.

- You want me to hide you?
- No. Myself and six others.

Who are the six others?

Not that band of fugitives?

Actually, yes.

Insolent bitch!

Did you come here knowing
I've been deputized by the law?

I figured what safer place
could there be?

You expect me to let you go free
after saying that?

Who the hell are you?

Here's how it is.

We came to you because we figured
you wouldn't just turn us down.

We won't stay long.

Just until the government inspector
has passed through.

What if I refuse?

Look, boss.
You've already seen our faces.

We can't take no for an answer.

Wait! Stop!
There's no need for that.

All right.
I'll agree to what you ask.

But since I'll be risking my neck,
I have a favor to ask, too.

What is it?

I'll tell you in good time.

Fine.

But remember this, boss.

You try to get clever
and we'll take you down with us.

Don't worry about that.

I'm not going to tie my own noose.

Have some tea.
The wait shouldn't be much longer.

Please pass the tray.

Do you work here?

Yes, I'll be working
as a masseur and acupuncturist.

Please give this to the doctor.

Thank you very much.

Oh, wow.

Carp.

Can't beat fresh carp
as an accompaniment for sake.

I'll mix some medicine for him,
so come get it later.

Take good care of him.

Next.

Somebody brought this
for you, Doctor.

Carp?

That's perfect.
Have this lady take them.

But, Doctor,

when I can't even pay my bill,
I can't accept...

None of that.

We need you to eat some carp
and produce lots of milk.

Tell Shizu, Master Ichi.

What's the problem?
Show me your tongue.

Miss Shizu,

the doctor wants this woman to take
these carp that someone brought.

All right.

Please don't.

Don't worry about it.

Here.

- You're so kind.
- Get well soon.

Thank you so much.

Does the doctor always give things
to his patients?

Uh-huh.

How does he stay in business?

INSPECTOR OF THE EIGHT PROVINCES
TRAVEL QUARTERS

Please come inside.

Right this way.

I hear that notorious band of outlaws
is now in Musashi Province.

So it seems.

I'm told the string of incidents
in Kawagoe, Kumagai, and Yorii

were all their doing.

They even kill women and children
without a qualm... a vicious lot.

Actually, sir...

Was this a bad time?

No, that's all right.

Who's this?

She's, well...

My name is Aki. I came down from Edo
seeking Boss Matsugoro's protection.

I underestimated you, Matsugoro.

You mustn't get the wrong idea.
How long will you be staying?

I'm scheduled for three days here,

but one day should be enough,
don't you think?

Yes, sir,
I have made the usual preparations.

Your silk business
seems to be doing very well lately.

I'd hardly say that, sir.

Last year's cold weather
took a toll on the mulberries,

and we're having trouble
getting enough weavers.

And I suppose that's how
you can afford an Edo beauty like this?

You needn't be that way, sir.

You may rest assured, I won't scrimp
on your usual consideration.

Miss Aki, was it?

You better watch out for this man.

I'm quite aware of that, sir.

- Please, I beg you.
- How can I get it through your thick skull?

Your daughter's term of service
has a long ways to go.

Please, let her come home.

If you want to take her home,
bring us the money.

I'll bring her back to work
as soon as she recovers her health.

Please, sir. I beg you.

Go home.

Get back to work!

That Matsugoro is really ruthless.

He drives them like slaves
without even giving them decent food.

But that's no concern of ours.

That's for sure.

I don't know how much more
I can take of this endless clatter.

We're stuck up here
in this sweltering sweat lodge.

Put up with this
just a little longer now,

and we'll have the inspector
out of our hair for a good long while.

Kanzo, was it really a blind man
who killed Ino and Denji?

That's what Aki said.
She has no reason to lie.

Do you suppose
it was the masseur from yesterday?

If that was him,
I doubt you guys stand a chance.

The man's blind.

One shot with this
should take care of him.

Forget it. He's mine.

How do things look?

The inspector
will only be here one day.

- That's good to hear.
- Did you find the blind guy?

He's staying with the doctor.
Junan, I think it was.

Junan?

Does the name mean
something to you?

No.

Nothing.

Master Ichi?

Yes?

Shall we take a break?

Your basket is really full.

I probably picked
a lot of the wrong kind.

I don't think so.

What does that plant do?

It reduces fever.
Thanks to you, we'll have a good supply.

Have a drink of water.

Master Ichi,

how long have you been blind?

Since I was about eight.

Then you must remember
a lot of things.

Like what?

Like the color of plants.

I can distinguish plants by touch,

but the colors have all...

What?

At first I remembered all the colors...
green, red, and so forth.

I told myself I had to remember them
and tried hard not to forget.

But they gradually faded away.

All that's left now is darkness.

Miss Shizu, is it always just you
and the doctor at home?

It is now.

I have a brother, but he and my father
had a falling out.

He ended up leaving.
That was five years ago, back in Edo.

The doctor seems like such a nice man,
but he must have a stubborn streak, too.

Can you stay
until after the summer festival?

I suppose.

Master Ichi.

Over here. Are you okay?

Is the doctor out?

He said he'd be back
before sundown.

What am I going to do?

Tell me what's wrong, Gosuke.

It's about Kiyo.

I heard she was laid up in bed,
so I went to take her home, but...

She's that sick?

They wouldn't hear of it.

You should never have sent her
to work in Matsugoro's mill.

What do you want?

I heard Matsugoro's weaving mill
was a living hell.

I came to see what hell is like.

Are you looking for trouble?

I don't know
who put you up to this,

but you'll watch your mouth
if you know what's good for you.

I came all this way.
At least let me have a little look.

Listen, buddy.

You say you want a look,
but you don't even have eyes to see.

You think that's funny?

All right, you can have a look...

at some stars!

Son of a bitch!

You're that...

I want you to tell Boss Matsugoro

that Zatoichi came by to say hello.

Kume, it's that blind man!

What?

Who are you?

I've come for revenge.

Revenge?

One of the men you killed at
Nembutsugawara was my blood brother.

First they harassed me,
taking advantage of my blindness.

Then they came at me
with drawn swords.

Shut up!

I don't care how it happened.
You're not leaving here alive.

I figured it was you,
you son of a bitch!

Why did you stop me?

Don't you value your life?

You could never defeat this man
face-to-face.

Don't do it!

He'd be on top of you before that
throwing blade even left your hand.

Blind dog!

I'll come at you like a stone in the dark.
Don't you forget it!

Darkness makes no difference
to a blind man.

I'm not done with you.

So we meet again.

Come in.

Give me some sake.

I hear you're staying
with a doctor named Junan.

That's right.

Have you known him long?

I just met him two days ago.

He's a good doctor.

He treats patients
without regard to payment.

In all my travels,
I've never met anyone like him.

You can't measure a man
by outward appearances.

Since I'm blind,
I'm never fooled by appearances.

Right.

But I'm talking about
the deepest reaches of the heart.

There are things a person
never lets anyone else see.

Sounds like maybe you bear
some kind of grudge against the doctor.

Wouldn't want him
to worry about me.

I better be going.

Pay my bill with yours, will you?

Your muscles feel
pretty loose tonight.

Thanks to you.

You're very good. You shouldn't have
to wander backwaters like this for work.

Always being on the road

means I occasionally get to rub
the shoulders of great men like you.

You're really
laying it on thick tonight.

Perhaps a little.

Hello.

Did you want something?

I beg your indulgence.

I believe I am in the presence
of one Master Zatoichi,

and I wish to pay my respects.

I am a member of Boss Matsugoro's
family, resident in this town...

his second in command,
Sennosuke by name.

It is my great pleasure
to make your acquaintance.

Boss Matsugoro informs me

that some of our young men
have treated you rudely.

To make amends, the boss would like
to offer you a drink,

and he has sent me to fetch you.

I didn't know you were a gangster.

I understand you people have
special codes of decorum.

Personally, I hate gangsters.

We have a palanquin waiting.

Right this way.

Right this way.

I want to make a stop on the way.

MATSUGORO

We brought Zatoichi.

Come right on in.
You needn't be afraid.

It was good of you
to send a palanquin for me.

I'm pleased you came.

You should have come here
straightaway

instead of staying
in a civilian household.

I had no business
that required your hospitality.

Don't be that way.
Members of the brotherhood are all family.

What's with this guy?
- This is Gosuke.

His daughter works
as a weaver in your mill.

It seemed the perfect chance
to let him pay his respects.

Express your appreciation
to the boss.

Thank you for looking after
my daughter.

So that's the story.
Make yourself comfortable.

Now, Master Ichi,
let me pour you a drink.

First, I'd like you
to bring Gosuke's daughter here.

I don't think I can do that.

Why not?

It's not so easy to say, but...

He made a special trip.
Please let him see his daughter.

Sennosuke,
it's Master Ichi's request.

Show this man to the mill.

Wait.

I asked you to bring the girl here.

I also want you
to cancel her term of service

and return her bond papers
to Gosuke.

That's what I'd like you to do.

Master Ichi,
why did you come here?

I came because
you sent a palanquin for me.

I didn't send a palanquin
so I could hear about Gosuke.

But that's why I came...
to talk to you about Gosuke.

You've got to be joking.

Then you won't do it?

It'd set a bad example
for the other girls.

A bad example like that
might actually make the girls happy.

What are you saying?

I came all this way to see you.

I can't very well go home
empty-handed.

Very well.

Here, have a drink.

Thank you.

If you're willing to see it my way,
then I believe I will.

Much obliged.

I believe you said
you'd bring the girl.

Go get her!

I'd also like you
to get me her bond papers.

That blind guy?

Uh-huh. He's called Zatoichi.
He's got quite a reputation.

Come on inside.

Stop dragging your feet.

She seems to have arrived.
Let's go.

It's a happy day for you.

Damn it!

Father!

Kiyo!

Thank the boss, Gosuke.

Thank you very much, sir.

So long, Boss.

Thanks for the drink.

What are you following me for?
Did you want something?

I hear you're a gangster
who goes by the name of Zatoichi.

That smell is familiar.

I remember it
from during that downpour.

At that place where I took shelter.

So you knew?

You're scary.

You're not alone, are you?

You don't answer.

Wait.

A blind man who's a gangster
with a lightning sword...

You're quite a puzzle.

You think so?

Maybe you're the one
who's the puzzle.

You only get one life.
Take care of yourself.

I got him!

Way to go, Kumeji!

Even Zatoichi's helpless
against flying blades.

You only get one life.

Take care of yourselves.

Who is it?

Don't you recognize me?

Brother!

Father, it's Brother!

You don't have a brother.

He disappeared five years ago

after killing a man in Edo

in a foolish fight.

Even if he's still alive,
he can't be up to any good.

He hasn't changed a bit, has he?

Shizu, how long
have you been living here?

Three years.

How about you?
Where do you live now?

Nowhere in particular.

In that case... Father!

Forget it.

When I heard there was a doctor here
named Junan, I had to come.

But I doubt we'll meet again.

Brother!

Father! You have to stop him!

Tell Father you're sorry.

I couldn't live
grinding out medicines like Father.

You haven't changed a bit
since you were little.

Take good care of the old man.

Brother!

Is something the matter,
Miss Shizu?

Did the doctor scold you?

Come, let's go inside.

Did something happen here, Doctor?

I can't imagine Miss Shizu
doing anything to get scolded.

- Master Ichi.
- Shizu.

What's wrong, Doctor?

Don't ask. It's a family matter.

I see.

I'm sorry.

Master Ichi,
don't get the wrong idea.

I'm not angry with you.

I'm sorry for what I said
when I found out you were a gangster.

It's all right, sir.

Until now, I've only known you
as a masseur.

I should have said something.

You know, Master Ichi,
you're an excellent masseur.

Wouldn't you like to put
the gangster life behind you

and settle down?

Even a country town like this
grows on you when you live here.

First I tell you to keep your nose
out of our family matters,

and now I'm sticking my nose
where it doesn't belong.

At any rate, make yourself
at home here as long as you like.

Shizu, didn't someone bring us
some pickles?

I was waiting for you to get home,
Master Ichi...

to have some sake with the pickles.

Sorry to have made you worry,
Master Ichi.

It's Matsugoro!

Everybody quiet!

Who gave you permission
to hold a cocoon market?

Don't you know what happens
when you stand up to Matsugoro?

All right, men.
Tear the place apart.

Stop it!

Stop them, Matsugoro!

Stop them, I say!

I distinctly remember telling you,
headman.

Starting this year,
I control the cocoon market.

You may have said that,
but I never agreed to it.

Whether you agree to it or not,
I've spoken to the intendant.

In that case,
I'll tell him about this myself,

and he can issue a decision.

Fine.

I'll take up that challenge any day.

You try too hard, old man.
You should act your age.

Okay, we're leaving.

Let's get this cleaned up.

I want you to kill
the headman tonight.

Is that the favor you mentioned?

Looks like you're getting
the better part of this deal.

Will you do it?

We gave our word.
But there is one thing.

I know.

I'll make sure
you have an escape route.

Then you can head
straight for Hatcho Pass.

This better not be a trap.

Matsugoro of Omiya
wouldn't do a thing like that.

Try anything stupid
and it'll be your life.

Damn, it's raining again.

Are you Tokuzaemon?

Answer me!

Yes.

Let's get out of here.

Yone!

Kumeji.

How'd this rabble get in here?

Out! Out!

Get moving!

You're still in town?

They massacred the entire household.
Such hideous cruelty!

Think you'll be able
to sleep tonight, Boss?

I note that these are the very people
you've been at odds with.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm a deputy of the law.

That's right, isn't it?

Say, Boss,

are you aware there are
some suspicious characters

lolling about above your mill?

That's where
the weaver girls stay.

Sometimes blind folk
see things that sighted folks can't.

Master Ichi.

There's nothing more
a doctor can do here. Let's go.

All right.
I suggest you watch your step.

Blind son of a bitch!

He can sniff around all he wants.
The killers are long gone.

The boss is back.

Man, what a pain...

making us run all over the place.

Those officials
are real slave drivers.

Boss.

They are?

Two of you come with me.

What's going on?

What the hell is this about?

Why'd you come back?

Listen here, Matsugoro.

We almost made it to Inoda, but then
there were police all over the place.

That can't be.
It must be some mistake.

- Mistake, you say?
- Absolutely.

Why should I do anything to...

Wait. You've got to believe me.

If it was a trap,
then why would I have come here?

Knowing you,
it could be some kind of act.

I wouldn't do that.

I came to complain
about you coming back.

All right. We'll believe you.

But we'll be staying here
a while longer.

That could be a problem.

After this incident, the authorities
will be in and out constantly.

Nobody will guess
that the killers are at your place.

This puts me in a real bind.

How about if I immediately
prepare a safer location?

Would you be willing to move there?

What do you think?

Please.

One false move
and it's my head as well as yours.

We'll try to get you moved
as soon as we can.

Thanks.

Tama?

Here, Tama.

I gather that was Matsugoro
who just left.

What are you going to do to me?

- I just want to ask you something.
- I'll tell you nothing.

Do what you want with me.

I take it the men upstairs are the ones
who attacked the headman's house.

How should I know?

Kill me!

No, I'm going to give you
a new life.

If the tip of this sword
had traveled five inches farther,

you'd now be dead.

It's not too late.

Make a new beginning.

What's up, Kumeji?
Something wrong?

Inside!

What happened?

It's Zatoichi.

Over there!

Stay out of this.
He's mine.

Damn!

- Where's Zatoichi?
- He fell in.

Then...

He may or may not be dead.

Find him and kill him!

Find him yet?

No.

How about over there?

No luck.

Go on around the other side.

- Did you find him?
- No.

Let us know right away
if you see anybody suspicious.

Get lost.

Sorry to trouble you,

but would you have some hooch?

Doctor!

Doctor! Please open up!

Doctor!

Master Ichi!

Matsugoro's men did this to him.

Bring him inside.

Shizu, some compresses.

He cut the bullet out himself.

I suppose he didn't want
to trouble me.

The idiot.

Don't move.

Hold him down.

Things could get messy
if Zatoichi's still alive.

That damn troublemaker!

I'd like to get you people
out of here right away.

I have a brewery in Shimogo.

My men will show you the way.

All right.

But let us know as soon as you find out
whether he's dead or alive.

Of course.

He was wounded pretty bad.

If he's alive,
he's going to need a doctor.

Something wrong, Aki?

No.

Thanks, Miss Shizu.

How are you feeling?

Better, thanks.

That's good to hear.

It was awfully reckless of you
to cut the bullet out yourself.

You could easily have made things worse.
Father was very angry.

I'm sorry to be so much trouble.

Don't worry about it.

- Boss, we found Zatoichi.
- What?

Someone took him
to Dr. Junan's place last night.

Good. This is our chance.

We'll finish him off for good.

Go.

What do you think you're doing?

Turn the place upside down.

He's not in the shed either.

He's not there?

Where's the blind guy?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

We have ways
of getting it out of you.

You'll both have to come with us.

Stubborn old man.

Drag him out here.

Out!

Move it!

Come on.

- It's terrible!
- What?

Dr. Junan and Miss Shizu
were taken away by Matsugoro's men.

- To where?
- The mill.

The mill? Stop!

Don't tell Master Ichi.

Give it up, Doctor.

Why should you put yourself
through this for some crazy blind guy?

I am a physician.

Once he has recovered his health,
you can do with him as you please.

But I can't give him to you
before that.

Enough of that tripe,
you old geezer!

Please stop!
Please don't hit him.

Then you tell us where Zatoichi is.

Shizu,

you mustn't yield
to such lawlessness.

Shut up, shithead!

Aren't we proud, Doctor?

Teach him a lesson!

Get out of here!
This isn't a show!

Since you still refuse to tell me,

I'll have to try
something different.

I suggest you ponder what could
happen to your daughter tonight.

Take as long as you want.

Bring the girl to my house.

Father!

If he croaks,
just throw him in the river.

Father!

Dad! Uncle Ichi's gone.

Oh, no!

Chased by the wind

The wanderer drifts

In his final hour

Alone

On the lonesome road

- He still won't talk?
- No.

Stubborn old man.

Who left the door open?

The rain has stopped.

Hey, what's up?

Doctor?

Over here, Master Ichi.

Doctor, where's Miss Shizu?

They took her
to Matsugoro's house.

You can't go like that.

I won't let my life go to waste.

Master Ichi.

No!

You mustn't go!

Master Ichi.

I thought the old geezer
was stubborn,

but you're stubborn, too.

Strip her naked and string her up.

- Miss Shizu.
- Master Ichi!

It's me.

Come on.

I'll show you the way.

You're going to help us?

I died once under your blade.

I want to make a new start.

So you'll trust me?

The doctor's at the mill.

Take Miss Shizu to him.

All right.

Quick.

Boss!

It's Zatoichi.
- What?

The blind bastard doesn't know
who he's dealing with.

He's probably still hiding
around here somewhere.

Find him and kill him!

Boss!

There's no sign of him outside.
- Damn it! Where could he be hiding?

He has to be here somewhere.

I came back from hell to get you.

They won't let me across the River
of the Three Crossings without you.

The Lord of Hell
is waiting for you.

Damn it!

Blind son of a bitch!
Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Are you all right?

Don't worry about me.

It's Master Ichi I'm worried about.
He was badly hurt.

Damn it!

The bastard's never off his guard.

I've got a whole lot of scores
to settle with you,

and I intend to do it now.

Damn!

You're not getting away this time.

Brother!

Brother!

Wherever you may fall

Who is there to cry

In a strange land

The cicadas

Only the cicadas cry
