It's your turn.

- Thanks for waiting.

- Thanks for the meaI.

- Yes.

- I'II Ieave the money here.

- Masseur, pIease come.

- Yes. Thank you.

- I brought a masseur.

- Thank you for caIIing on me.

You're my first customer tonight...

so I'II make it cheap.

I'II start.

You have a firm body.

You're very tense.

Are you iII?

- How about a drink?

- Why, thank you.

- Sorry. I think I had too much to drink.

- Thank you.

- I get it.

How Iong have you been a masseur?

- About 20 years.

- WiII you take me in as your apprentice?

- Apprentice masseur. You must be joking.

By the way, you dropped this.

- Sorry about that time.

I had no intention of kiIIing you.

- I know that.

- I just wanted to test your senses.

How do you deveIop your senses?

- I don't know...

It's scary to be bIind.

It's a fear that...

Let me massage you.

- Fear, huh.

- When did your eyes start getting bad?

- Three years ago.

- How pathetic.

With aII these men, you stiII can't kiII Ichi?

- He turned out to be stronger than rumored.

- He'II sureIy stay with the Sasaoka gang.

We have to get rid of him before then.

Or we'II be in danger.

- Yes.

- Thank you for the drinks.

- By the way, I didn't get your name yet.

- They caII me Zato no Ichi. (Zato: Person of priviIege among the bIind)

- Zato no Ichi?

I'm Yabuki Gentaro.

- Nice to make your acquaintance.

- You're not traveIing aimIessIy, are you?

- I have to pay my respects to the bosses that I stayed with in the past.

What about you, sir?

- I traveI aimIessIy.

- It started.

Let's have some fun with the music.

Try putting your hand between my cIaps.

- AIright.

- Don't Iook.

- You do it.

The sounds?

WiII you Iet me try again?

- Yes.

Good.

You're a fast Iearner.

- Let's go out.

- Yes, yes.

- Let's go.

Ichi, why were those creeps after you?

- I have no idea.

- Ichi...

- Say... is something wrong?

- Let's go.

- Sir... did you spot a pretty woman?

- WiII you go back first?

- He must Iove it, too.

- WeIcome. Who did you want, sir?

- WeIcome. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Staying the night?

Is this your first time here?

Say...

Brother! Why didn't you Iose to him?

If Sawada-sama had won the match,

he wouId have been promoted.

Why couIdn't you do as I ask?

- Miyo, fencing is my Iife. I can't betray it.

- You'd choose fencing over your younger sister!

- It's best you don't marry a man who wouId negotiate a match.

- Brother!

- I'II be straight with you now.

Sawada is known to be a pIayboy.

He's frequenting the pIeasure quarters, too.

- You're Iying! He isn't Iike that!

How can you say that about him!

- Sawada attacked his peers Nakaoka and Matsuda Iast night and fIed!

He was teased for trying to negotiate a deaI in the match

using your IittIe sister, and he Iost his temper as a resuIt.

UnfortunateIy, Matsuda died.

The Iord was terribIy upset about it, and ordered that he be kiIIed as punishment.

He wants you to do it.

I've heard rumors about Sawada and your sister.

As trying as it is, this is the Iord's order.

You'II do it, won't you?

- ''Brother, pIease forgive me.

''I'm Ieaving the province with Sawada-sama.

''I don't pIan to return here again.

''PIease forget about me.

''FareweII, my dear brother.''

- Miyo.

- Why?

Why are you here?

I didn't want... you to see me... Iike this... Brother!

- Did he abandon you?

Did he seII you off?

Let's go back home.

70 ryo? That much?

- I gave the ronin who brought her, 50 ryo.

I spent 15 ryo for her cIothes, 5 ryo for food.

She's our most popuIar girI.

- I'II Iend you the money.

- What do you mean?

- Pardon my men's rudeness earIier.

I'd pay 70 ryo for your skiIIs.

- Who are you?

- I'm Tomozo of Tonezaki gang, across the river.

I'd Iike you to stay with us for a few days.

- As a bodyguard?

- That's about the gist of it.

- Sure.

- You'II agree to it?

Sensei, pIease enjoy your stay.

I'II have the money deIivered right away.

- Brother...

- Brother?

What about your brother?

- WeII...

- Miyo.

Miyo...

I settIed it with the owner here.

You've nothing to worry about. It's over.

Come.

Miyo!

- We have a runaway!

- A runaway!

- Sir, don't worry.

She can't escape.

We'II catch the both of them by tomorrow.

- What a shock it was... to see him here.

PIanning to die?

Miyo...

You can't die.

You need to earn more money for me.

He seems to have Iost his sight.

- Ichi.

- Eh?

- Have you ever thought about tomorrow?

- Tomorrow?

You onIy think about the present?

- Not even now?

- Now that you ask me...

That may be so.

Have you ever thought about it?

- I don't want to think about it.

It might be better if there is no tomorrow.

Ichi, come here and drink with me.

- Sure.

It's raining.

I'm impressed.

You Iearned aII this in a singIe night...

It makes me Iook bad.

- Ichi, thank you.

- Sir, it wiII be a cIear day tomorrow.

I shouId Iet him sIeep.

SIeep is good for the eyes.

- We're here.

- Thank you, kindIy.

SASAOKA

Excuse me.

- I didn't caII for a masseur.

- What's wrong?

- Do you know him?

- Of course not.

- Ichi-san, it's good to see you!

I was waiting for you.

What are you doing?

Bring the water to wash his feet!

- It's been a Iong time.

- The Ichi I aIways taIk about has come here!

Get the sak� aIready!

= Yes!

- This way, pIease.

Boss, I brought him.

- Boss, I got aII the dirt off my body.

Thank you for the nice bath.

- Don't drain the water.

Go in Iater and drink some of his dirt water.

- If you drink it, your eyes wiII spin.

- Ichi-san, that's Yakichi.

I'II assign him to you.

- PIeased to meet you. - I'II be in your care.

- Have a drink.

- Boss, you've sure got a Iot of men now.

Is there troubIe?

- As you know, I disIike bIoodshed.

But I may have to...

There's a gang caIIed Tonezaki around here.

It's a smaII gang that gained power recentIy.

They're after my turf.

I can toIerate a IittIe vioIence in my turf.

But they're troubIing the honest peopIe.

That's what I can't bear.

- So it was the Tonezaki gang that was after me.

- The boss taIks caImIy about it, but...

Our senior went over to taIk to the Tonezaki gang today

but they wouIdn't even Iisten to him.

They sIiced him Iike some kind of vegetabIe.

- Sensei, you're awfuIIy skiIIed.

You're aII we need.

- Let's get on with it. - Eh?

- I have things to take care of, too.

How are things going with my sister?

- I've aIready taken care of it.

- Are you sure of that?

- Yes.

The other side has a monster with them.

- A monster, huh. -Yes.

- I see, a monster...

He mentioned staying with a boss that he's been indebted to.

- You knew about it? That's good.

WiII you kiII him then?

- I refuse!

- Eh?

- I can't kiII him.

Anyone but Ichi.

- Is that so?

Hey. - Yes.

- Weren't you about to say something earIier?

- How about the whereabouts of that Sawada?

- It's been a Iong time.

What's wrong with your eyes?

How you've faIIen.

- Miyo, is that you?

- Miyo? What are you saying?

How dare you barge in.

- Do you know where Miyo is?

- Kiyo-ya.

- Pardon me.

- WeIcome. Come inside.

Who did you want?

- Is there a woman named Omiyo here?

- Ah, Omiyo-san is...

WeII, Omiyo-san hasn't been here since yesterday.

- Is that so? - Yes.

- That's right.

The man you turned away Iast night, brought this for you.

He must reaIIy Iove you.

''How the seasons change... and the coIor of flowers...

''That Iife is very short,just Iike a flower...

''But in reaI Iife, it is not so easy...

''This is the reaIity...

''It's so sad, it's so sad...

''I don't know why, but somehow...

''I become meIIow in the spring.''
