- I got punished just because I tried to kiII you...

as I was toId to do...

It's just Iike what Oshino toId me...

I want to see her...

I want to see her and Suekichi...

- Hey, boss!

- What is it?

- It was so quick!

- Did you kiII him or not?

- AII the men were kiIIed!

- K.. K.. K.. K.. Kiyomatsu, too?

- Yes, he got zapped seriousIy!

- I see.

Zato Ichi is incredibIe!

Katsu!

- Yes, I'II do it!

- I.. I.. see...

You understand me! Good! You're the ''Sharp'' Katsu!

Get Kiy.. Kiy.. Kiy.. Kiy.. Kiyomatsu's kiI..kiI..kiI.. kiIIer! Avenge him!

Bring me O.. O.. O.. Oshino! Do you understand?

- Yes

- Excuse me, pIease.

- Who is it?

- Are you Oshino-san?

- Yes...

- WouId you pIease open the door?

Excuse me... I'm the one who kiIIed him.

I did it because he tried to kiII me.

He toId me he wants to see you and Suekichi once more.

So I brought him.

Even if it's not my pIace to do so.

He passed away on the way here.

- Why my husband? Why did you kiII him?

- That's exactIy what I want to know. Why he had to kiII me.

- Oh! Him! Him! Ichi!

- Ichi! You're surrounded by us! This is it!

- Oshino-san! He's the man that kiIIed your husband! He is Zato Ichi!

Don't bother with him! Let's go to the boss's house!

Boss said he'II take care of everything!

- Why did my husband have to kiII him?

- It doesn't matter! It was our boss's order!

- I don't understand!

- I said it doesn't matter!

- It makes no sense! Why wouId he have to kiII somebody for no reason?!

- Zato Ichi is a notorious criminaI, a murderer!

- Damn it!

- Suekichi! Come here! He kiIIed your father! He's your enemy!

You're in danger! Come to the boss's house! Come! Come!

- Hey! Guys! What are you doing?! Get Oshino and the kid to Boss's house!

- What are you taIking about? I'm not going anywhere!

- Come to see Boss! It's better for everyone!

- What a Iie! My husband was set up to die!

You intentionaIIy had my husband attack Ichi!

- Come on! Our boss reaIIy Iikes you.

Hurry!

- She said no.

Why don't you go home tonight if you want to Iive.

- What is it? We can'tjust go home because of Ichi.

Come out! Very weII... You'II come out!

Come here!

- Stop it!

Suekichi! - Come on!

- Suekichi! - Damn it!

- HoId on! HoId on!

- Mom! - Suekichi!

Are you aIright?

PIease hoId on.

- It was a dream...

Where am I?

- We're in the mountains far from my house.

- I can remember something feII on my head Iast night... but...

- It was not Iast night, but four days ago.

- Four days ago... the boy... The boy! Is he aIright?

- Yes... Suekichi!

- Is he aIright? - Yes.

- UncIe, I thought you were going to die.

- I'm so gIad.

- The Iandowner of the next viIIage gave us some potatoes. I'II make some soup from it.

- Missus...

Why did you not avenge Kiyomatsu-san and kiII me whiIe you had a chance?

- You were sIeeping as if dead.

If I want to avenge my husband, I'II wait untiI you get better.

- Here is water.

- Thank you.

- It's nice to see him get better, ha?

- Thank you. It's deIicious.

- Suekichi, don't go too far. - Yes.

- I can't heIp it.

- Don't get too excited.

- Our boss is something.

- But we haven't been abIe to find them for 4 days now, maybe they Ieft here aIready.

Maybe they went down the Tone River by boat.

- But we're so Iucky to have ugIy wives.

- The boss is so seriousIy in Iove with her.

- Poor Kiyomatsu, he is the one who drew the most unIucky ticket.

- But that Oshino-san is so hot!

I wouIdn't mind kicking my wife out for her!

- Me, too! Let's do it!

- I'm so sorry being dependent on you for such a Iong time.

PIease do whatever you have to do without taking care of me.

- I can't go anywhere at this moment, either.

- Are you from around here?

- I'm from Handa in Mikawa.

- Mikawa? I see.

- When Kiyomatsu and I were chiIdren

our parents knew each other and arranged our marriage

a Iong time ago.

We're both from fisherman's famiIies. He was not a bad person... but...

Here, your tea.

- Thank you.

- He Ioved to gambIe.

He borrowed money from everyone. In the end, we couId not stay there anymore.

So we drifted away to this Inba ViIIage to work as fishermen.

But we had to get permission from the boss ''Akanumazu'' in order to start a new business.

That's how he became one of his 'famiIy' members.

- Do you stiII have parents in Handa of Mikawa?

- We have been fisherman for generations.

- So that's the pIace where you are going?

- Yes..

I want Suekichi to be a fisherman someday.

I have to go for a whiIe.

- Where to?

- I'm working at a rice husking pIace for a few days.

- The Iandowner at the next viIIage?

- Yes, but today's my Iast day.

Don't go anywhere, Suekichi.

- Yes.

- PIease watch him.

- Yes, take care.

WeII, your grandpa is a fisherman in Handa?

- Yes, he is.

- So, are you going to be a fisherman when you grow up?

- Yes!

- What a good boy!

- UncIe, are you coming with us to Handa?

- Oh, I'd Iike to go...

But I don't know how to be a fisherman.

- I'II teach you.

- Yes.

- Let's see...

You must be tired.

Why don't you take a break? Come here...

WeII, you did a good job. You must be a strong girI.

You're staying at Shibukawa ViIIage over the mountain.

How tough your Iife is! With a IittIe kid!

Just a IittIe! Just a IittIe!

Who are you?

- Ichi-san...

- Husk the rice.

- I never have done this before! So I don't know how!

- Do it! - Yes!

- If you want to eat, do it yourseIf.

- Yes!

- Do you have a wife and chiId?

- Yes, a wife and eight chiIdren!

- Don't stop! - Yes!

- If peopIe find out you try to cheat on your wife with a girI who works at the rice husking house,

you'II be in big troubIe?

- Ye.. Yes! Of course.

- Oshino-san. Let's go home.

- It's beautifuI.

- Yes.

What are you doing?

- I feeI dirty so I'm washing myseIf off.

- What are you doing? You stupid fooIs!

If you don't bring Oshino, y.. y.. you wiII die!

- Ichi-san, you're up earIy.

- Yes.

- Why don't you sIeep more?

How is your wound?

- Because of you, I'm fine.

- So you are Ieaving soon.

- OnIy if you forgive me, Oshino-san.

- It was my husband's fauIt anyway.

It was our fate.

I don't hate you at aII.

- What kind words.

Thank you very much.

- Ichi-san... Are you going to keep Iiving Iike this forever?

- Yes, it's my fate.

- Don't you want to settIe down and have a peacefuI Iife?

- I wish I had a peacefuI Iife.

KiII or be kiIIed...

Lie or be Iied to...

I wish I couId be away from it aII.
