Tales of Zatoichi

Hey, were you walking on this path?

You saw a masseur, didn't you? I'm talking about a masseur!

Hey, I'm asking you!

Well, I did see a monk.

We're not asking about some monk, you asshole!

Stop! I really don't know.

What did you say?

Fighting Journey Wth Baby in Tow

Damn! Where did he go?

I just can't let him live!

Of course. He took your voice away.

You have to kill him.

We'll just say Zatoichi was slain by the 6 member group.

You boys better hope this works!

One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two...

Excuse me, palanquin bearers.

Can you give me a ride?

Bro!

Let's beat him to it!

Watch out!

Hey, I know you're in a hurry, but you don't have to rush by dropping me off.

Ouch...

What's wrong?

Yes, my stomach hurts...

It hurts that much? Take it easy.

She has a stomach pain.

I'm sorry.

-Let's go. -Thank you.

Don't worry, we have the palanquin bearers.

Can you two take her to the doctor?

Sure thing.

I...

Hey, mister! You're gonna break the thing!

That's not good. All right then.

Here you go.

Thanks!

Please hurry.

Okay!

One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two...

Die!

Bro, we did it!

Damn! When did he get off?

I know he was in this thing.

Hey mister, it's right over here!

Hello...come on, wake up.

Hello?

Hey, mister...we came here and some guys wearing black attacked us.

Did they have some kind of grudge against this person?

Huh? What's this?

Hey mister, I found her travel permission.

Can you read it for me?

Well according to this, she's from lnagoori in the Shinshu region.

She was on her way back to see her husband in Miyagi village.

-Miyagi village? -That's right.

Her husband's name is Unosuke, and he's a silk broker.

Unosuke the silk broker? That's an honest occupation.

Yeah, well, it says at the head that this is a promissory note.

I think Unosuke desperately needed some money while traveling.

He gave away his woman at Miyazakidai in exchange for 5 ryos.

Then she worked to pay them back.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

I'll definitely take you to see your dad.

Forgive me, will you?

What's wrong?

There, there. Don't cry. Don't cry, okay?

You need to pee?

Okay, I'll let you pee.

Hold on, I'll let you pee. Go ahead and pee.

That's a good boy.

Hey, stop crying.

I can't do anything about that for you.

Looks like nobody's here.

Then I'm just gonna let you have a little, okay?

Little bit.

It's my first time doing this.

Unbelievable.

Go ahead and suck on it.

Hey, come on now.

You keep sucking it even though nothing's coming out.

You must be really hungry.

Listen to me, kid. Just keep sucking on it, okay?

Hey, can I get another?

Why do you always have to cry?

It's their job to cry.

-Here, let me take a look. -Thank you so much.

-He's been crying all this time. -There, there.

Why does he cry like this? This baby.

Shoichii lnari Daimyojin Shrine...

Ferry.

What is this? Making him wear something this hard...

Is that bad?

Bad? Take a look at this.

Poor baby. His crotch area is all sore.

What? His private area is all sore?

I didn't know. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry. I really didn't know.

That doesn't sound good.

Excuse me but... is there a doctor nearby?

There's a hot spring on the other side of this mountain. Take him there.

You must be the ones...

Who killed this boy's mother.

Let me at least put on his diapers.

By the shores of a river...

Treasures to the mountains...

Well, look at this cute little baby.

Hey there, look this way. Good boy.

There, there.

I tell you, this hot spring works like magic.

After you put him in here, he'll grow up to be a good kid.

-ls that right? -Such a good boy.

-I won't put hard diapers on you again. -He's a good looking kid.

You have a good eye for hot springs.

This hot spring will cure anything. Such a good boy.

It's odd. Odd, odd, odd, odd.

Odd!

You're really annoying. Can you please be quiet?

I'm enjoying this using my own money.

Mister, we can't start if you don't choose.

Please pick even or odd.

Odd!

Here we go!

7 of odds.

Congratulations.

Well, I'm just gonna take 10 percent of your earnings.

You should be happy.

I think I'll play some too. Excuse me, folks.

Hello everyone.

Now place your bets. Come on now!

Hey mister, are you gonna bet or not?

Yes. There, there, there, even!

Here we go!

Hey, what's going on?

That masseur is winning like crazy.

Excuse me, folks... could you step outside for a while?

Sorry about this.

Hey mister, it looks like you're pretty lucky today.

You wanna face me one-on-one?

Yes.

Now this is what I call gambling.

Huh? What's the matter?

I'm starting to smell something.

Okay, just hold on. What is it?

Let's see.

What is it, boy? What happened?

You crapped in your diapers.

Please.

Well, then I guess I'll go with even!

Here we go!

What are you doing?

The sound of the dice has changed.

What?

You shouldn't play tricks on me.

I may not be able to see, but my ears are very good, you know.

What?

I want you to use this pair of dice.

Please give me money in exchange for these plates.

Come back here!

Honey, help me.

You can't get away from me! You should give up!

Honey, say something.

-Well, l... -Hey!

I have a husband, you know. I also have a cute little kid.

Why do I need to steal?

Blind man, she's your wife?

You can't say that I'm your wife since you're scared of him?

Um...

If you still think I stole, then why don't you strip me naked and look?

But what are you gonna do if I don't have the wallet, huh?

Excuse me, is this your wallet?

You bitch, sit right there!

I'm an expert of the Yagyu Shinkage Style.

-Sit down so I can kill you! -Excuse me...

Can you please let her go since you got your wallet back?

No way!

This woman...she's my wife.

If she dies, I'll have problems raising this child.

Please forgive her.

If you live with an ill-natured woman like this. She'll ruin your life.

I'm doing you a favor. Move out the way!

Yes, I understand. I'm afraid we have no choice.

-Please kill all three of us. -Honey...

Just hold the baby, will you?

Now move back.

Sir, I need you to do something for me.

I want you to take the paper.

What? Paper?

You mean this?

I want you to put our names on that, and place it in a temple nearby.

You're pretty good.

The wind is blowing heavy today.

Serves you right!

Excuse me.

Thanks for everything.

Excuse me but... Can you look after this child?

You mean that baby?

I can't take care of a baby.

Then miss...

Can you please give me back my money?

Don't be silly.

You sound as if I stole your wallet...

Look, I didn't know. I don't know when I did it.

Really?

You don't know when you did it, then you must be pretty good at this.

Hey, brother.

You wanted us 6 to be famous by killing Zatoichi, but there's only 4 now.

Maybe we should stop pursuing him.

You're the only one who has a grudge against him.

We don't want to end up losing our lives for you.

Right, Kiku and Take?

You want to stop pursuing Zatoichi?

Yeah, that's right.

-That's fine. -Yeah.

You...

Then you can die.

You're a lucky kid. She'll take care of you.

Please take him to Miyagi village. I'll give you some money.

I don't need any money.

No, you gotta have some money on you.

-Or you'll steal again, so... -What did you say?

Please take good care of him.

Oh, he's smiling.

-So cute. Take a look. -He's smiling?

He's got his eyes wide open.

Hey, take a look.

Excuse me, lady...

But who are you talking to?

I'm talking to you, of course.

You tell me to look at him...

But how am I gonna look at him?

That's right.

I'm sorry.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Look!

You're a good boy...so go to sleep.

Where did your babysitter go...

She crossed the mountains and went to the village...

What souvenir did you bring back from the village...

Good morning.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -You're very early.

The weather is so good, I need to take advantage by selling early.

-I'll come again next month. -We'll be waiting for you.

-You're early this morning. -Yes.

Hey, it's a bush warbler.

What are you doing?

What am I doing? Where did you get this flute?

You don't have the right to tell me what to do.

I stole this to make him happy.

You gotta be kidding me.

You steal from others in order to make this kid happy...

But this kid's not gonna be happy.

He'll just laugh at you.

Laugh at me, huh?

I quit.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hey, you don't have to quit. I didn't mean it in a negative way.

You can buy this thing for a cheap price.

Right? So next time a thing like this...

Another words, you don't like the way I do things, right?

-Thank you so much. -Have a safe trip.

I'm not holding him.

You keep picking on me.

I wasn't picking on you.

It's just that he's crying, so I want you to hold him.

Let her hold you.

Hey listen...

No, don't hold me. Can you hold him?

Excuse me, your sandals...

You people are very annoying.

1, 2, 3...

Huh?

You're missing one person.

What happened?

That's none of your business.

We just wanna cut off your head.

Nope.

Mister...

I need to deliver this kid to his father in Miyagi village.

Sorry to say this, but can you wait until I finish doing my business?

Shut up!

I need to kill you on behalf of the Monju family.

Lots of innocent people are staying here.

Step outside.

Here's the kimono.

Oh...

Thanks.

You did pay for this, right?

I hope you didn't steal this.

Don't say that.

Of course I paid for it.

Is it a good kimono?

It's a good kimono.

It's a kimono that a young prince might wear.

Take a look at the design.

I'm sorry.

Hey...

Can we wait until tomorrow to deliver him?

We can wait for a day, right?

What are you talking about?

It's better to get rid of him as soon as possible.

There's no point in keeping him any longer.

Can you put this kimono on him?

Let's put this on.

Okay?

Now put your hand through here, and the other hand through here...

What's this for?

You've been a great help for all this time.

That's for taking care of him and to show my gratitude.

I don't want this.

Okay, you're all set.

No, you have to take it. This is the end of the road for you.

So take this and go wherever you want...

You really don't understand other people's feelings, do you?

I didn't stay with you because I wanted money.

I was worried about the baby and I thought you had a hard time.

I don't care if you think I'm having trouble with him or not.

Besides, you agreed to help me up until this point.

Right?

There's no point for you to keep on going with me.

Now take this money.

It's not a lot, but you won't have to steal for a long time, right?

Stop making fun of me!

I never wanna see your face again!

You gotta be kidding me!

A cold-hearted person like you can't raise a child like him!

Hurry up and take him back to his father! What the hell!

Damn it!

I'm sorry.

I said I didn't want to keep you around any longer.

But that was a lie.

Don't get mad.

I too want to live with you for a long time.

But...

If you stay with a guy like me, you'll never be happy.

Your father's an honest working man.

I'm sure he's a wonderful person.

I hope he pampers you a lot.

You should be happy wearing this kimono.

You're like a young prince.

Your father's gonna be very happy to see you.

I won't be able to remember your face.

There, there.

Don't forget about me.

This is my mouth.

And this is my nose.

Eyes...

I have no eyes.

Hold on for a second.

Hello.

Can I help you?

Is this Unosuke's residence?

That's right.

Well, I want to meet him to have a little talk.

Huh? With the boss?

Boss, why is it that women fall for you like crazy?

Get his sandals.

Yes.

What is it?

Yes, well there's somebody here to see you.

-For me? -Yes.

Um, you're Unosuke, right?

You are Unosuke who used to be a silk broker, right?

That was a long time ago, but... who the hell are you?

Oh, really?

Lucky you.

Well, yes...

I was asked by your wife Otoyo to deliver him here, well...

-Otoyo? -Yes.

I don't know any Otoyo.

What?

But she's your wife.

I don't know her.

Oh, I see.

Well, excuse me for one second.

I want you to take a look at this.

Here's your wife's travel permission.

And, one more thing...

Here's the document you signed...

...to borrow 5 ryos.

Take a look at it.

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

Hey, it's your father.

He's gonna hold you, okay?

Let him hold you.

Do you have any proof that he's my kid?

You're telling me to raise a child out of nowhere?

This Otoyo put you up to this...

So she can get some money out of me, right?

Wait a minute, I'm not here to make any trouble.

Can you please, for one second?

Unosuke...

Your wife paid back your debts, and tried to come back here.

But on the way here, Miyagi Village...

...she turned into this.

You bastard!

Hey.

I don't know where you learned to act like that.

But you can't fool me with an act like that.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

I'll never bring the baby here again.

Please forgive me.

I'm sorry about that. I'm really sorry.

Please forgive me. I'll never...

Serves you right!

Let's go home.

I can't leave you with these people.

Hirai.

Hey, Monju.

I need you to help me out.

-What happened to your voice? -That masseur you just saw...

He's an idiot. He tried to extort money from me, so I kicked him out.

That's no ordinary masseur. That was Zatoichi.

Zatoichi?

He killed every one of my men.

And look what he did to me.

You're growing in popularity.

If you kill Zatoichi, you'll be famous throughout Shinshu.

Will you help me?

Sure, in that case, I'll help you out.

Hey, we're gonna get Zatoichi! Get your stuff ready!

Ichi.

Unosuke and company are coming here to kill you.

Okou, can you do me a favor?

Tell me what to do. I'll do anything.

I want you to ask the priest to take care of the kid for a bit.

All right.

I can't give people here too much trouble. I'm going to talk to them.

Hey, what about me?

I'll be waiting at the riverside by Miyagi Pass.

So you're Zatoichi, huh?

I should've just killed you.

Unosuke, this is a temple. Let's go somewhere else.

Hey, is this place okay?

Unosuke, I'm gonna ask you one more time.

Can't you just take care of that kid?

Zatoichi.

This is the end of the road for you.

Go get him!

Ichi, I'm throwing away my blade.

I threw away my blade.

I'm sorry.

That kid is definitely mine.

Otoyo was my wife.

I promise to take care of the kid and will keep praying for my wife.

I'm sorry.

Ichi, I give up.

I'm apologizing with my knees on the ground. Okay?

Do you hear me? I'm apologizing with my knees on the ground.
