A MOTHER AND SON'S REVENGE (Hahakomichi ni Hi ga Tomoru) ''Then I cried.''

- Missus...

- I'm back.

- Oh, weIcome back.

- Look how much I got.

Funakichi, you must be hungry. I'II prepare it right away.

Funakichi, where are you going?!

Funakichi!

- I'II get you for this!

- Let me introduce myseIf...

I'm from...

I'm from Yashu.

- You mustn't speak Iike that.

Otherwise, you won't die in a decent manner.

- I don't care if I don't.

Do you have a pIace to stay?

- Wait.

I said, wait!

First time here? - Yes.

- Then stay at Tomoya.

- Is that the onIy inn?

- No, there's one around the corner.

- Around the corner?

- Not a singIe person who's stayed there has Ieft this town decentIy.

Remember, it's the Tomoya Inn. - Yes.

Anyone here?

- Mom, we've a guest!

- WeIcome.

- I'II be staying.

- For the night?

- Yes. Just one night.

- Are you sure?

- I wouIdn't Iie.

- I hate to say this, but when you Ieave,

pIease Ieave as earIy in the morning as possibIe.

- Huh?

- Something aIways happens to our guests.

- Something aImost did on my way here.

- Mom, hurry and get the food ready.

- Oh... Yes.

- Excuse me!

- No credit saIes.

- What did you say?!

Sorry.

After aII the Iate Boss Rokuzo did for you,

how couId you refuse to seII his wife and son anything?!

I hate to say this, but you're being inhumane!

- Say your gripes to Boss Arakichi!

- Uhei-san, why are you being so reserved?

Come on in.

- I'II pay you at the end of the year again.

- Anytime's fine. - Thanks.

- Aren't you soId out of oiI?

- No...

- Now you are.

What's that Iook? Are you going to do something?

- This is deIicious.

- I'm sorry I have nothing speciaI.

- I feeI warm to my stomach.

OnIy the two of you Iive in this huge house?

- We had more peopIe Iiving here before,

but now it's just me, my son, and Uhei-san.

- Who is Uhei-san?

- Someone who has stuck by my husband for a Iong time.

- And your husband?

- He died.

He was caIIed ''Saint Rokuzo''

and had a gang here.

- Once you're dead, that's it.

- That's how the worId is.

Though I run an inn for our survivaI,

there are peopIe who interfere.

Here.

- Thank you.

- Sorry, I'm Iate.

- Uhei-san, we have a guest.

- I'm so gIad.

Thank you very much. You're a big heIp.

- I shouId be thanking you.

- Arakichi's gang controIs this town, so the customers

have stopped coming.

- Uhei-san!

Uhei-san, you must be hungry.

- It tastes deIicious.

- Here.

- Thank you very much.

That was deIicious.

- UncIe. - Yes?

- He's no ordinary masseur.

- What do you mean?

- He carries a sword.

- A cane sword? - Yes.

I saw him kiII 2 men.

- Keep pestering them untiI they get sick of it.

- Take a Iook at this.

The Boss took over your rice, miso, and fish debts.

I hate to do this, but if you don't pay up, you'II be forced to Ieave.

It's not as though he has money to burn.

But I can't refuse his request.

After aII, he runs this town.

Why don't you just pay up?

Or, I couId take this house as coIIateraI.

You Ieave me no choice.

- Asakichi...

It was your choice to Ieave the Rokuzo Gang,

but my husband never taught you such iII manners as to step in a house with sIippers!

- This room for the rice deaIer.

This drawer for the fish...

- Brother. Is this enough for the miso?

- That's not enough. IncIude the back room.

- There's nothing here.

- Let me go!

- Bear it!

Be Iike your mother. She's bearing it inside.

- Otaki shouId be Ieaving town after what we did.

- Just as we pIanned.

- That's for... - Any compIaints?

Hey, keep the sak� coming! - Yes.

- We met today.

Are you staying at Tomoya's?

- Since you kindIy toId me,

I'm staying at the corner inn.

- I toId you not to go there!

- I'm sorry. As you can see, I'm bIind.

- Oh, you're a masseur.

- Masseur... Come here and give me a massage.

- I worked hard today,

so couId you turn him down for me.

- FooI! Do as he asks!

- Why can't I avenge father's death?

- I said I won't discuss it.

- After aII this, you're a coward for not fighting back!

- Stop it!

- Let me go!

Did father do anything wrong?

Did he commit murder?

Then he shouId've been punished.

But he was deceived and murdered by Arakichi!

- Funakichi.

- Let me go!

AII kids get revenge if their father's murdered!

So why can't I?!

You're a woman, so you don't understand.

- Your mother feeIs the same way.

- Don't you want to get back at them?

- To do that, you'II have to grow up first.

Then we can take revenge together.

- So, Otaki's stiII in town.

Your method's not working!

I've a good idea.

Come cIoser. - Yes.

Use Asakichi?

- That's right. He did beIong to Rokuzo's gang before.

Give him some excuse and make him do it. - Yes.

- Are you Ieaving?

- I'm pIanning to.

- I guess it's no good.

I wanted you to teach me how to use the sword.

- I don't carry one.

- I saw you kiII 2 men with that sword.

- You'II become a fine man.

But for now, you must obey your mother.

Bear it. If you do,

you'II become a stronger man.

I'II come back in 3 years.

- ReaIIy?

I'II make some tea.

- I made potatoes. PIease take it with you.

- Thank you.

SmeIIs good.

I don't know how to thank you.

Is Funakichi stiII asIeep? - Yes.

- Give him my regards.

You've done a greatjob raising him aIone.

- But I can't handIe him anymore.

- If a boy can be handIed by his mother,

he's no good.

When he grows up, he'II become a fine man.

- My husband didn't want him to become a yakuza.

- He must've been a good husband.

Funakichi has a manIy spirit growing within him.

I was raised by my mother, too.

ShouId you take that spirit away,

he'II end his Iife in a haIf-hearted way.

Excuse me.

-Funa-bo...

- You promised to return in 3 years.

- Weren't you sIeeping?

- I was awake the whoIe time.

- I wiII, but promise you'II bear anything.

- I promise, man to man.

- Where did you go so earIy in the morning?

- Weren't you hiding Iast night, crying?

- You're different today.

You're a man, aren't you?

Say something.

We'II take care of you. Stand up!

Come after us.

You caII yourseIf Rokuzo's son! Are you a man or not?

- This is bad.

Hey, Funakichi.

Hey, anyone home?

Your son stabbed Asakichi.

- Mom, I didn't do it! Mom!

- You'II have to settIe this.

- AII right.

- Mom...

- How'II you settIe it?

- I'II go over to the Boss' pIace,

so Iet Funakichi go.

- Are you sure?

- I am Rokuzo's wife.

Funakichi, come.

Sit.

Funakichi, stay here.

- I'II go, too. - No!

You're a man, so Iisten to me.

- Hurry up!

- Do you understand?

- Yes.

- ShaII we go?

- Madam...

What's this about?

- Stay back.

- What do you pIan to do with her?

- Have her settIe things.

- About what?

- Funakichi stabbed Asakichi.

- What wiII you do?

- If you were once a yakuza, you shouId know the consequences.

- Madam, I'II go with you.

- Uhei-san...

Funakichi's at home. PIease take care of him.

- Get out of the way! - Uhei-san, I'II be fine aIone.

- Madam! Madam!

Madam! Madam!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Did you see a traveIing masseur?

- He went that way.

- Thank you!

Mister! Mister!

I'm gIad I found you.

- Uhei-san, did something happen?

- Funakichi's stabbed one of Arakichi's men.

So the madam went to settIe things.

Hearing what Funakichi said about you,

I reaIized you're Zato Ichi-san.

I beg you, pIease save them.

I entrust you with my Iife!

- Otaki, thanks for coming.

I'd Iike to praise you for coming aIone, but...
