THE BEAUTIFUL PROSTITUTE IN THE RAIN (Ame no Ominaeshi) ''Then I cried.''

- The boat has arrived! The boat has arrived!

- I'm sorry!

Osue-chan!

There you are! Let's go back!

- Let me go!

- What are you doing?

You can wait aII you want, but he's not coming back here!

- Let me go!

- Don't you get it yet?

- Let me go!

ASAHI-YA

- WeIcome.

- Thank you for having me.

- ShaII I heat a bottIe?

- No thanks.

- Are you hungry?

- I'm fine.

I thought this pIace was just for sIeeping.

- ShaII I make you something?

- I have food on me.

- It's raining so hard.

What an awfuI rain.

Have some tea.

- Thanks.

- The river is cIosed! The river is cIosed! The river is cIosed!

- Do they cIose the river often?

- A IittIe rain... and the river is cIosed.

That's how they get the customers to stay.

It may be an inconvenience to customers, but it supports us.

Masseur, are you in a rush?

- No, I'm not.

- Stay in town and earn some money.

- I think I wiII.

- SIeeping aIready?

- I thought I'd go to bed aIready.

- Have a drink first.

- I didn't order sak�.

- Don't worry.

WhiIe you were in the bath, I got it from another room.

- I'II have a drink then.

Here, sister. Let me pour you one.

- Thank you.

- Looks are deceiving.

- What do you mean?

- You pushed me aside. Over near the Ianding pIace.

- You're from that time?

I'm sorry. I was in a rush.

One of the girIs here keeps trying to commit suicide.

- Why is that?

- It's a common story.

The river was cIosed because of the rain, so the man stayed Iong.

They vowed to get married to each other.

She gave him aII her hard earned savings.

But she stiII can't give up on him.

She's a fooI.

She shouIdn't beIieve in a promise made with a man just passing through town.

TraveIers are just whimsicaI, right?

- Hey! Is Omon here? Omon!

- Gonji, weIcome. You're in a good mood.

- You bet I am.

- ShaII I take care of you?

- You're not my type.

I'm buying Omon for the night.

- What's so speciaI about Omon?

- We're aII the same, without cIothes.

- There's a big difference. WiII you go away!

Oh, Omon!

- What are you doing? - I'm a customer today!

I brought money to get you.

What are you doing?

- You earned it from gambIing.

You make me puke.

I choose my customers.

- What was that?

Now you've reaIIy made me mad!

- Have some soup. - Thanks.

- Are you the customer?

- Gonji, stop it. What are you doing to the masseur!

Stop it aIready!

- A masseur shouIdn't be here anyway!

- Stop it!

- Stop...

Stop!

You got a Iot of nerve!

- Ichi-san, throw him out!

- Remember this!

Omon, I'II kiII you!

- Good for you! Good riddance!

Ichi-san, you're strong!

Are you aIright? - Yes.

- His name is Gonji...

and he's with Boss Tozaburo.

- Oh. - He's an awfuI guy.

- He's head over heeIs for you.

- He gives me the creeps.

ShaII I get you a new bowI?

- No, this is fine.

- Masseur, she's in that annex.

A samurai's wife is sick, I hear.

PIease go inside.

- Thank you for caIIing on me.

- PIease massage my wife's shouIders.

- I'II be grabbing on to you.

Your shouIders are very tense.

Do you have a coId?

- Are you in pain?

- I'm sorry for causing you aII this troubIe.

- You got worse because you Iet that bother you.

We can't move on, in this rain.

- Are you going to the hot springs?

- Something Iike that.

- Where are you headed?

- To Ueda.

- Ueda? That's a Iong way to go.

- This is her first trip. That is why she's tired.

- She seems to have caught a coId.

She shouId eat something warm and rest up.

Then she'II get better.

- Tomoe, you'II be better by the time the rain Iets up.

- Thank you very much.

You must be Gonji-san.

I've had enough of you.

- Then stay away from Omon!

- WiII you get the umbreIIa for me?

- I sure wiII!

Isn't he the man from two years ago?

What a dirty guy.

He's staying in the annex with his wife.

Let's go. I'II Iet you see him.

- No, thanks.

- Hey, Omon. What's with you?

- I brought you tea.

- Leave it there.

- I brought you tea.

- Leave it...

- Missus, pIease take care.

- Thank you for your kindness.

- Is that you, Omon-san?

- Yes, it's me.

- You're a bit drunk, aren't you?

- Ichi-san, drink with me.

- Did something good happen?

- I waited for this day.

- Did you get to see the man you waited for?

- I knew he wouIdn't come back for me...

Hey, Ichi-san. - Yes?

- Have you ever made a promise to a woman?

- Never.

- Like buying a kimono or marrying her?

- No, I haven't.

- Let's say you did...

WiII you keep your promise... or not?

- I don't know.

- You're heartIess.

The woman may be waiting, seriousIy.

Do you understand a woman's feeIings?

- I do.

But this doesn't appIy to you, does it?

You said you wouIdn't beIieve a traveIer.

- That's right. She's such a fooI.

That's why I never beIieved... in them.

Excuse me now. Good night.

- Good night.

- The river is open!

The river is open!

- The weather is nice. - How refreshing!

- It's good to see the sun!

- I have a piIe of Iaundry to do!

- I'd Iike you to rest another day, but

I have my officiaI duty.

- I'm aIright now.

- Is that so?

- I am Tozaburo.

- I'm Tsukui Gennai, who serves Lord Matsudaira of the Ueda cIan.

I'm Iooking for someone.

I want your heIp, since you're in charge here.

- Who are you Iooking for?

- Nakazawa Kingo. His wife shouId be with him.

I'II pay handsomeIy.

- Tsukui!

- Nakazawa...

Hand it over.

Or I'II kiII you.

- Forgive me.

- HoId it!

- Omon-san. - Yes.

- I'm thinking of Ieaving.

Thanks for being good to me.

- I won't be seeing you off.

Be carefuI on your traveIs.

Stop by again, if you're in the area.

- PIease take care, too.

- Did you find him?

Search thoroughIy.

- So you finaIIy came.

- I'm being pursued.

PIease heIp me.

PIease hoId on to this.

PIease!

If I Iose this, I can't return to the province.

It concerns the cIan's crisis.

It's more vaIuabIe than my own Iife.

I apoIogize.

I didn't forget my promise to you.

It's true.

- Then make me your wife.

Don't worry. I didn't mean that.

Two years ago, in this room...

You were sitting there and I was sitting here.

- I didn't mean to Iie. I was reaIIy serious.

PIease beIieve that.

My superior arranged my marriage with Tomoe.

I had to marry her to move up the Iadder.

Of course, I thought about you, who might be waiting for me.

I thought if I was stationed in Edo,

I couId do something about you.

- Don't Iie.

No one can buy my heart.

- PIease, Omon!

This represents my Iife...

In fact, more than my Iife.

- I'II hoId on to it for you.

- I'm counting on you.

- There he is! Don't Iet him escape!

- Nakazawa-san Ieft this?

- PIease stop it!

PIease stop it!

- Beat him!

Where's the document?

You can't say you Iost it.

- I'm not Iying...

- You can't get away with such a Iie.

What good wiII it do to be IoyaI to the Iord?

Confess...

Confess..!

Beat him!

- PIease wait.

Didn't you entrust the document with Omon?

I get it...

Boss, he was Ioitering around Asahi- ya.

He must have entrusted it to Omon.

- What did you want with me?

- The boss wants to see you. Come with me.

- What is it about? - Just come.

- What are you doing?

- Take out the document.

- Document? What are you taIking about?

- Don't pretend. The one that samurai Nakazawa entrusted you with.

- I don't know what you're taIking about.

- Are you taking me IightIy?

- Omon, it doesn't concern you. Just take it out.

- Come on, bitch!

- Gonji-san, you Iike to cause troubIe, don't you?

- Who are you? - Boss...

He's awfuIIy strong. PIease be carefuI.

- Omon-san, you have that document, don't you?

But you onIy want to give it to that samurai Nakazawa-san. Isn't that right?

- Arrest the woman. - Yes!

- Zato Ichi? Who is that?

- He's a masseur that carries a cane-sword.

He's one of the gambIers, and is extremeIy strong.

He's undoubtedIy the infamous Zato Ichi.

- He practices the yakuza swordstyIe.

He can't be much.

- KiIIing Zato Ichi wouId bring me fame.

Gather the men! Get everyone you can get!

We're going after Zato Ichi! AIright, go.

- Our conspiracy is at stake here.

What are you doing?

- Doing some maneuvering.

- Ichi-san. - Yes?

- I was vexed.

Somewhere in my heart, I was waiting for Nakazawa-san to come get me.

Even whiIe Iaughing at Osue-chan.

He's a Iiar and a traitor.

I resent him.

But he's the onIy one who said he'd marry me.

Am I wrong, Ichi-san?

- No, you're not.

- What shouId I do?

- You shouIdn't Iet this depress you.

- It went weII.

That samurai deserved to be kiIIed.

That shouId make you feeI better, too.

He's going to be kiIIed.

That document has nothing to do with us.

That shouId put an end to your feeIings for him.

How about getting together with me?

Omon!

- You may Iose your Iife the next time.

- Where's the document?

- Ichi-san...

- Ichi, you're not abIe to see, but

Nakazawa and his wife are here by me.

If you don't throw down your sword, I'II start off by kiIIing them.

Throw down your sword before I kiII them.

- Go right ahead.

That samurai broke his promise to Omon-san.

He deserves to die.

- Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!

- Omon-san wants to save him.

If you hurt him, I'II kiII you.

- Gonji, what are you doing?

- Pretend to be dead.

- Hey, traveIer. You won't make it aIready.

Stay the night.
