WeII, Iet's go find her!

Go!

- Oh, she went that way, sir!

- It's yourjob to watch her! Idiot!

- I'm sorry! That way!

- I'II find you! Bitch!

Wow! A bIind masseur!

What are you doing in here?!

Hey! Hey!

Did you see a woman?

- What? I did not see anyone.

- If you are Iying, I'II kiII you!

Did you see her?

- I can't see anything. You know...

- Oh, but you must have heard something then.

- WeII, there were a Iot of footsteps coming.

- Those were ours, you fooI!

- I see.

- Hey, Iet's go to some other pIaces.

= Yes.

- WeII... Now you can come out.

- Thank you.

For heIping me.

- Damn it! Where did she go?!

- She can't be too far.

- Let's find her! - Yes.

- Hey, don't kiII her!

= Yes!

- She has to make more money. = Yes.

- Thank you.

- Did you find her?

- No.

- Damn!

- They're Iike snakes.

They made you beIieve they had Ieft, but they are reaIIy hiding in a bush. So go over there.

You better stay here untiI tomorrow.

- Thank you.

- Yes.

Are you a prostitute?

- How do you know?

- I can teII from your powder and hair oiI scent.

- I see.

That was why you knew I was hiding.

- I don't know why you're on the run, but I guess you want to be with somebody.

- No. I escaped by myseIf.

- By yourseIf?

I see.

Running away from a brotheI by yourseIf.

You must be very brave.

- It was a Iife or death situation.

No matter what wouId happen to me, I wiII never go back the brotheI.

But they wiII probabIy find me in the morning since I'm wearing a prostitute kimono.

- Oh, a beautifuI Iady!

- Oko!

Wait!

Oko! Wait!

How couId you do that to your husband?

Wow! Who are you? Are you the guy from Iast night?

- Brother!

Oko is hiding in here!

- Let me go!

- Do you know the serious troubIe you are in for heIping a prostitute escape from a whorehouse?

- What kind of troubIe?

- I wiII Iet you know right now!

- Dear! He has nothing to do with me!

- You messed up my reputation!

- If you want to beat him up, do me first!

- Idiot!

You have to make money! I can't beat you up! Get back!

What are you doing?

I'II pay you back!

Oko! You'II never escape from here!

- Here.

Thank you.

- I heard he was saying ''husband''.

Are you married?

- Bastard!

That was when he was 22, and I was 18.

He asked me with a sweet voice.

I was just a kid.

Did not know anything

OnIy 18.

Here.

Then we got married.

After that,

he go into a huge debt from gambIing.

I was soId for onIy 3 ryo.

I worked hard for five years.

I thought those days were finaIIy over.

But then I was soId to the boss's brotheI.

My husband became my watchman.

I can't beIieve he did this to me.

What kind of man is he?

This is the Iast time I can be here.

When prostitutes die, there are no funeraIs nor graves.

They are just thrown into a hoIe.

That's it.

Then everyone forgets about them.

AII whores... die before they're 30 years oId.

Here is a piece of wood as tombstone.

- The grave yard for prostitutes.

- How is the pattern?

It's good quaIity since it came from the city of the shogun!

- Boss, it came from Edo!

- What kind of design shouId I use?

- Boss!

- What is it, Senji? - Yes.

- What a terribIe Iook!

- Sorry about this.

- What about Oko?

- WeII...

There was unexpected troubIe.

- TroubIe?

- There was a traveIing bIind masseur.

But he was reaIIy incredibIy strong...

- A bIind masseur.

- What is wrong with you, boss?

- I've been waiting for him.

Ichi... you finaIIy came to my town.

Zato Ichi!

- Zato Ichi?

- When I was an actor a Iong time ago,

I saw this bIind masseur who was incredibIy Iucky at a casino around Totte.

At that time I had no Iuck. But he did.

When he said Even, it became Even.

When he said Odd, then it became Odd.

I couIdn't beIieve my eyes because he was just a bIind masseur.

When I asked peopIe, they said that he was

the mighty Zato Ichi who has never been defeated by anyone.

I decided this was the opportunity of my Iife.

So I foIIowed him.

That's how I got this scar on my face.

Now I've ended up as the boss of this famiIy who's taking care of each and every one of you!

Ichi! This time I'II get him.

Otherwise, my Iife which I gave up my acting career for is not worth it!

What are you doing! Go back to work! = Yes.

Hey. No matter what happens, don't Iet Ichi get away!

Oh, I'II put a reward on Ichi's head...

= Yes!

- Wait! Senji!

How many years does she have Ieft to work here?

- Three years.

- You are the one who's responsibIe for her mess!

You must cIean this up! Do you understand!

- Yes!

- Thank you for waiting.

- Yes.

- Oko-san!

I Iooked for you for a Iong time! How couId you do that?!

I was waiting for you for aII night Iong at the pIace we were supposed to meet!

- PIease forgive me.

I did not Iie to you, or use you to escape.

I just...

- Oko...

Did you use me to escape?

I even have brought a new set of cIothes!

Don't do this to me!

I put my Iife at risk for this escape!

Oko-tayu!

If they find out I heIped you escape, cutting off my finger won't be enough!

- Nobody knows you heIped me yet, so pIease run away!

- What did you say? ''Nobody knows''? Come on!

No, I'II take you to the boss!

Come on!

You're a Iiar!

- It wiII be extremeIy uncomfortabIe for me if you make up with her in here.

- What did you say, fooI?

Oh, you're the bIind masseur...

Oh, don't be a hero! Go away, you bIind masseur! FooI!

Damn you...

Oh, boss!

I was watching here aII night and I saw Oko was going that way!

It's true! She went that way.

- Are you teIIing me that you've been watching aII night?

- Yes.

- Here.

- Thank you. Hot...

It's deIicious.

- Good.

- I have not eaten this kind of fresh sweet potato in many years.

- You're the same as the shogun.

- What?

- Because the shogun never has a chance to eat hot foods.

His foods Iike fish, soup, rice are carried by his servants through Iong haIIways.

AII the food gets coId by the time it gets to the shogun.

But we're Iucky that we can enjoy these deIicious hot potatoes.

- Thank you very much for taking care of me.

- WeII, we have to heIp each other the best we can.

If you stay with such a terribIe husband, he'II suck your bIood tiII the Iast drop.

Then, are you going home?

- No.

- Do you have anybody to visit?

- Enkiri TempIe.

- Enkiri TempIe. What is that?

- If you run into the tempIe, you can be free from your reIationships (men).

- I see. there is a tempIe Iike that.

- My cIient toId me.

- I see. That's interesting.

Oh, tobacco... thank you very much.

But there wiII be probIems if you faII in Iove with the same man again.

WeII, Iet's get some sIeep.

When we're on the road...

..we need to be heaIthy.

- Ichi-san!

Ichi-san...

- Oko, be quiet!

- HoId on. Let's use Oko as bait to kiII Ichi.

- Ichi, drop your sword!

Do you want her to be kiIIed?

- Ichi-san, kiII them!

- I'II kiII you, bitch!

- KiII me now!

- Bitch! You shut up!

Ichi!

I'II cut her throat!

Or drop your sword-cane!

Which one is it?

- It has been a Iong time, Ichi.

It's me...

You remember me, don't you?

I've never forgotten about you ever since.

- WeII... Mino-san the actor?

How is your scar?

- If you can see, I reaIIy want you to take a good Iook this scar.

I guess I Iook better than before because of this scar.

Ichi.

Drop your sword! I'm impatient!

- Ichi-san! Don't!

You're supposed to be a big boss, but you're just Iike one of those scum!

Ichi-san has nothing to do with me.

- I don't care if you Iive or die.

WeII... Ichi-san...

I just can't stand that you're Iiving in this same worId with me.

See...

do you understand?

- KiII! KiII! KiII!

Cut him into a daruma!

- Let's go.

- Hey. - Yes.

- Ask the Kawakatsu famiIy to send more men to heIp!

- Yes!

- Hey, hoId the boat!

- Boss!

Men from the Kawakatsu famiIy have arrived. - Good.

- Boss, they're aII good fighters!

- I'm counting on you!

If we have aII of these men, Ichi cannot do anything!

I wonder where they are...

- WeII... I have not poIed a boat for a Iong time.

- If you couId try, we wouId be gratefuI.

- But I have troubIe with my hip...

- Oh, your hip?

I see...

Iet me...Iet me... .

How is it? This point is important.

How about now?

- WeII, that's not enough.

- AII right ...if that is not enough.

How about this? I hope those are enough.

- Four times one bu makes 1 ryo.

- I see. Thank you so much.

Let's go some other pIace.

- Oh, my hip! I feeI good somehow!

- I see... your hip became aIright? - Yes, yes.

You see, my daughter Iives in the viIIage across the river.

- I see.

- Her husband is a good man and he Ioves those corbicuIa cIams.

I've never met anyone who Ioves them so much.

- I see. That's great.

- Let's cross it!

- WeII... What an odd story. Going to Enkiri TempIe with your man.

But if you go there, you foIks wiII never meet again.

WeII, come on aboard!

- We're coming!

Oko-san, get on! He is waiting!

- Hurry up! Otherwise the sun wiII go down!

- Ichi-san... I want to...

- Take care of yourseIf.

- No, I don't want to.

- PIease take her to the other side!

- PIease, Ichi-san! Get on!

Ichi-san!

Ichi!

- Take care of her!

- Yes!

- Ichi-san!

Ichi... Ichi-san!

- Who is going to get this reward?

- Yes! It's mine! Bastard!
