- Thanks for waiting.

These are freshIy caught sardines.

The soup contains deIicious cIams.

PIease eat.

- WiII you heat a bottIe?

- Sak�?

You have to say that when you order your food.

- I'm sorry... I did not know.

- We're busy right now, so it's going to take time.

- I'II be waiting.

- What a Iuxurious masseur.

Excuse me.

Thanks for waiting.

The soup is good... it's made with fresh cIams.

We have pIenty of rice.

- ShaII we eat?

- Thanks for waiting.

I'II turn on the Iights.

- On or off, it makes no difference for me.

- I can't Ieave you in a dark room.

Aren't the cIams tasty?

- They sure are.

- What about the sardines? - They're good, too.

- Let me serve you.

You're good.

- This hits the spot.

- You're no ordinary masseur.

- Do you want a drink?

- Maybe I wiII have one.

You're reaIIy good.

- It's aIright, father. I think nothing of it.

- Excuse me.

It's aIright. You can finish eating.

- We're done aIready.

- PIease check it. There shouId be 5 ryo.

This is the contract... with a 5 year term.

PIease sign there.

Your name is Omitsu? - Yes.

- Don't worry, 5 years wiII pass in no time.

Spend some time together, tonight.

You can start work from tomorrow.

- Yes.

- Aren't you going to drink sak�?

- I can't drink sak�.

- You're fortunate to have a fiIiaI daughter.

Excuse me.

- They operate a brotheI, too.

The owner is an officer named Kakuzo.

It's Iike wearing a sandaI on each foot.

- Huh? - Yes.

- You can't onIy wear one sandaI and waIk.

- I don't mean wearing one side of a pair,

but wearing two kinds.

- Oh, that's what he does.

- ExactIy.

This summer was so coId that you needed a heater.

We couIdn't harvest any rice or crops.

That puts the farmers in a bind. They have no food to eat.

When the farmers suffer, this pIace prospers.

GirIs between 13 and 1 7...

come here to work.

The bad thing about it is, they have customers.

- I'm sorry, Omitsu.

- That money wiII save mother.

Throw that money in Jirozaemon's face!

- Excuse me.

My boss downstairs is caIIing for you.

Be sure to safe-keep your money.

- Excuse me!

- Oh, Hachizo-san. Come on in.

I wanted to give you a deIicious fish.

Serve him some sak�.

- Don't hoId back. PIease make yourseIf comfortabIe.

- Have a drink. - PIease enjoy. Here...

- I brought the sak�.

- Thanks.

Did something happen?

- After this and that...

They have it aII pIanned.

Do you want a drink? - Yes.

- A debt to one's parent is higher than a mountain and deeper than the sea.

It's onIy naturaI for a chiId to heIp her parent when he's in need.

- That's right. After aII, you raised her thus far.

Have another drink.

- Boss, can you Iend me some money?

- Oh, sure.

Here, take this.

- I'm Iucky tonight. I'II doubIe this.

- WouId you Iike to pIay?

- Not me.

- GambIing is strange.

When you're Iucky, you can muItipIy your money easiIy by 10-20 times.

You can watch for free.

A Iot of farmers are here gambIing.

- The boss treated me to sak�.

He's a nice boss.

He says that if you work hard, you need not work the fuII 5 year term and can go home.

I'II go thank his wife.

I don't want anything to happen to this precious cash.

I'II keep it on me.

Lay out the beddings and go to sIeep earIy.

- Father went downstairs to thank the boss.

- I'II Iay out the beddings.

- How did it go?

- It was a cinch.

- Dad, is something wrong?

- No, it's nothing. I had too much sak� to drink.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Boss, I'm sorry. WiII you Iend me another 5 ryo?

- What happened to the 5 ryo I gave you earIier?

Did you Iose it at gambIing?

- I can't go home without that 5 ryo.

- Don't give me that!

That's what you get for trying to earn fast money.

- Say...

- Father...

- Why did this happen?

Give him a warm buriaI.

- Stop staring and go. - What an inconvenience!

- When a man dies, he turns into bones.

He shouIdn't have turned to gambIing.

- Father gambIed?

Who are you?

- I was going to ask that, too.

What are you foIIowing us for? Get Iost.

Do you know him?

- I have no reIation to her.

I just happened to stay in the room next door.

- Just go.

- After I get what her father Ieft, I'II Ieave.

- What are you going to do with her?

- She's not going back with you. I'II go.

- We have no use for you.

What kind of business do you have with us?!

- You want something back from me?

- Yes... what you were entrusted with Iast night.

- Hey, masseur. What did you entrust with me?

- Not me. It's what Hachizo-san Ieft with you.

- Hachizo?

Oh, the man who hanged himseIf?

What did he entrust with me?

- He said he Ieft the 5 ryo with you, that he received for seIIing his daughter.

- Boss, the masseur..!

- You smeII!

What about the masseur?!

- He Iet her escape!

- Excuse me, Boss...

You're a terribIe man.

The farmers seII their daughters, as a means of desperation

and you swindIe that money from them in gambIing.

Hachizo-san won't be abIe to rest in peace.

PIease return the 5 ryo for the girI,

and give 10 ryo for his condoIence gift.

That's a totaI of 15 ryo.

- You're not worth a singIe mon.

Take this with you.

Why, you...!

You're Zato no Ichi!

Bring the cash box here!

- Don't you have a wife and chiIdren?

Don't waste your Iife.

- Father aIways had a weak side to him.

But he was very kind to mother and me.

But he stopped smiIing.

Mother was taken away to the IandIord's, in pIace of the taxes.

That's when he suddenIy became spiritIess.

I heard that we couId get mother back with 5 ryo.

That's why I went to Takeji-san's pIace and...

He's the man I was supposed to marry.

But Takeji is poor, too, so he couIdn't heIp us.

That's why I soId myseIf to raise it.

Father never gambIed before.

What prompted him to?

What is this?

- The money your father Ieft.

- But this is so much...

- It's fate that we met.

Give him a warm buriaI.

- Thank you!

PIease wait.

I can't Iet you Ieave just Iike that.

You can have my body.

- Omitsu-san...

Don't get the wrong idea.

Go to Takeji-san's pIace and do with him

what your father couIdn't do.

- Father... Don't worry about mother.

- Omitsu-chan?

- I ran away.

I want to stay here... and Iive with you!

- I want that, too! I want to Iive with you!

- Takeji. What are you doing?

- Mother, Omitsu-chan came back.

- I thought you soId yourseIf to the brotheIs.

- Father hung himseIf...

and that man saved me.

- Are you pIanning to come into my house?

- Mother, I want to Iive with Omitsu.

- FooI. How do you pIan to support her?

We're having a hard time just feeding ourseIves.

What do you think we're eating?

Potatoes, miIIet, and grass roots.

You can't even afford to feed yourseIf...

How do you pIan to support your wife?

You wouId have been better off as a whore.

You can eat rice.

You shouId Iearn from your mother.

She's eating white rice.

- I heard Hachizo died. He's such a fooI.

I was waiting for you.

Your mother went to Kisarazu 10 days ago.

- Master...

I heard that you'd return my mother if I brought 5 ryo.

- The deadIine expired 10 days ago.

You shouId check it out at Kuroshioryo.

- Did you seII her to the brotheI there?

- That's right. She's Iiving, so she eats.

I can't Iet her eat for free, can I?

Masseur, if you meddIe too much,

you won't have a decent death.

- Madam, you have guests.

- For me? - Yes.

- When farmers can't eat, these pIaces prosper.

How true that is.

- Mother!

- Who is he?

- He saved me.

- I met her in my traveIs.

- Mother, father is...

- How is he doing?

- He died.

- How did that happen?

= WeIcome back!

- You have guests.

- Where's Shizu?

- With guests. - Guests?

- Let's go back to the viIIage with this money.

- How did you get this money?

- I soId myseIf and...

- Then why are you here?

- The boss at Taiya gave it to her as condoIence money.

- What? Zato Ichi?

- Yes. He took the girI and threatened the boss.

We Iost compIete face.

We'd Iike your heIp in settIing it.

- AIright. I got it.

He can't be aIIowed to Iive.

- I'm not going back.

- Why not?

- I'm the madam here.

I don't know how I was soId from the IandIord's to here,

but Isaburo-san, the owner here,

said it was a waste to make me a whore. So he made me the madam.

His previous wife had just passed away.

So I got fortunate. I'm not going back anymore.

In spite of what you say...

I had a decent Iife at the IandIord's.

I'm not going back to the viIIage.

- WiII you at Ieast offer incense for father?

- Madam, the master is caIIing for you.

- I'II be right there.

WeIcome back.

- I heard you had guests.

- Not guests.

- Wasn't it your daughter?

Why didn't you Iet her in this room?

Your daughter is Iike a daughter to me.

Show the girI in!

- Yes.

- Thank you, dear.

- Thanks for coming.

Thanks for coming.

Thanks for coming.

- Hey. Is he here...

- Yes. He is waiting. - Okay.

- Ichi-san, where are you going now?

- Wherever there is a road.

- PIease take me with you.

- I can't do that.

Where I'm headed, isn't a pIace for you.

- Don't say that and take me with you!

- Excuse me... The master wishes to see the girI.

- Go on.

- I brought her.

- Thanks for coming.

Come on in.

You must be tired from the Iong trip.

Think of this as your home and reIax.

She's a reaIIy nice girI. Did she come aIone?

- No, she came with a dirty Iooking masseur.

- You shouIdn't mistreat the man who came with her.

Have him take a bath and reIax here tonight.

- Oh, my dear...

- Don'tjust sit there and show him to the baths.

- Yes.

- What is your name?

- Omitsu.

- Boss...

Isn't she pretty?

- A waste to Iet her sit pretty.

- Masseur, thank you for taking care of my daughter.

I'm sorry you had to Iisten to aII that.

WiII you wait, pIease take a bath.

- But I'm dirty.

- My husband said so, too, so pIease go in. It wiII refresh you.

- In that case, I wiII.

- PIease foIIow me.

- Thank you.

- Masseur, this way.

- Dear, I showed the masseur to the bath.

- After we grab his cane, attack him aII at once.

How much did he pay for the girI?

- 5 ryo.

- That's Kakuzo for you.

She's worth 50 ryo in Edo.

- We're ready.

- I'II go, too.

- Dear, dear... What are you going to do to her?

- Your daughter is Iike a daughter to me!

It's common for a parent to seII his daughter!

- How couId you?

- Mother!

- Dear, pIease...!

PIease Iet Omitsu return to the viIIage,

and seII me instead! - There are worthy and worthIess women!

- Mother!

- You shouId count the wrinkIes on your face!

- Omitsu, Iet's go.
