THE GIRL FROM ECHIGO (Echigokara Kita Musume) ''Then I cried.''

- Goichi! Did you come to pay your debt? No more on your tab unIess you pay the baIance!

- PIease don't say that.

Just one sak�! PIease!

- Don't be such a baby!

If you want to drink, pay first.

- I'II pay everything tomorrow. It is my payday.

- Why not come back tomorrow?

- PIease, it's so coId outside... just one sake!

- Don't you have any pride? - Yes!

- Then stop whining.

If you reaIIy want to drink, I'II keep something as coIIateraI.

- CoIIateraI?

If I bring it, wouId you Iet me drink?

Yes! AIright! I'II taIk to Kuro.

Hey, Kuro!

She said if I Ieave some coIIateraI, she'II Iet me drink!

What shouId I do?

Oh, wouId you be my coIIateraI?

Good boy!

Madam!

I taIked to him! Now pIease give me a sak�. I'II Ieave you my horse.

- You shouId be ashamed of yourseIf using your business tooI as coIIateraI!

- Shut up! I don't care at aII!

Give me a sak� as you promised!

- Give him a sak�. - Yes!

- Don't be stingy!

- This is the Iast time, aIright? - I know that!

Oh, what a good smeII! Let's drink!

Hey, what are you doing?

Because you said ''Yes,'' that's why I'm drinking.

Oh, spiIIed!

Oh! It is empty!

You are a fooI! I'II seII you to somebody!

Thank you.

Why did you do that? I aImost had the sak�.

Let's go.

- The horse is the coIIateraI! Don't take him!

- I know that!

- You can't work if you don't have your horse.

When you get paid, come here straight from work. Get your horse, aIright?

- I know that! I'II tie my horse outside.

Let's go.

RESERVED FOR THE HASSHU OFFICIAL (Government Inspector of the 8 Provinces)

- Get out, out!

- This pIace is not for you!

- Is this an inn?

- Yes, it is! Look at this sign!

- This sign! Do you see!

Can you read!

- ''Reserved for Hasshu-sama.''

- Hasshu-san?

- Are you Iooking for a pIace to stay?

Stay here!

A young girI Iike you shouId not stay in the streets!

- That's right!

- If you Iet me stay here, why not him, too?

- Don't worry about him! Let's go! Let's go inside!

- Damn bitch!

- Gonroku.

I heard that you've been making a decent profit during the Iast two years of severe drought.

- Not so much.

- Buy farmer's daughters with a IittIe money,

and take away the money from the same farmer with gambIing at your casino.

It seems Iike the drought has brought you Iuck.

- If you became a feudaI Iord, my job wouId be much easier.

Sir, it's not my pIace to say this,

but I assume you wiII need a Iot of money in order to get by in poIitics.

WouId you pIease Iet me take care of that cost?

- Drink this.

- WeII... how much wouId you Iike to have?

- Five hundred ryo.

- Thank you very much.

I'II bring 500 ryo for you by tomorrow.

- The Iand you want is the entire Tone area, isn't it?

If you can get the Iand for 500 ryo, that's an incredibIe deaI.

- WouId you Iike to go to the next town for an inn?

- I wiII stay here.

Oh...

I saw a cabin.

- What?

Is it?

That is great!

This cabin wiII protect us from the coId during the night.

It's so nice to have company rather than being aIone.

Where are you from?

- Echigo.

- Echigo?

WeII, that is the coIdest country.

How did you cross over the mountains?

What a brave girI you are to cross over those mountains.

I was once in.....

- The merchant of the town wants Sayo for 10 ryo.

- But... I don't know what Sayo feeIs about this offer.

- Chiyo next door was soId to a brotheI for onIy three ryo.

To be the mistress of a rich man for 10 ryo is aImost a gift from God.

- There is no God.

- What did you say?

- Masseur...

Do you think is there is a god?

- God...?

WeII...

we can stay away from the rain or coId right now.

Maybe because of God's work.

Are you praying to God for something?

- My wish is very simpIe.

- Oh... yes?

- If I can see Goichi...

That's aII I need.

- Goichi?

- He was tough, aIways in troubIe. But he was so nice to me.

He toId me to wait and Ieft our viIIage for a big city in order to make money.

But he did not come back in aImost three years.

- Here, eat this.

- Thank you.

- Is he around this town?

- He wrote me once from this town.

So I'm hoping he's stiII around here.

- WeII... Maybe he is a horse handIer in this town.

- What?

- Gonroku of Denba.

What a man you are!

- Five hundred ryo won't kiII me, sir.

PIease take the money.

- Kanta. - Sir.

- Take your men for drinks with this.

- Yes, sir.

- Get Iost!

If you want to give a gift, check it carefuIIy yourseIf!

- What's wrong with the money, sir?

- You're a fooI!

The money is stamped with the Numata cIan embIem!

Where did you get the money?

- Are you bIind?

- Kawano-sama is here.

- Don't panic. - But, sir...

- He knows everything.

- Excuse me.

- What is it?

- Sir.

Last night, somebody broke into the house of Harukiya,

an officiaI merchant of the Numata cIan, kiIIed the whoIe famiIy

and stoIe 1 ,000 ryo of officiaI stamped money.

- Kawano, take a Iook at these.

- Oh... oh... oh. These are...

- I must find the criminaIs.

EspeciaIIy, since it happened during my officiaI visit to this town.

Oh, do you want to go to the poIice, Gonroku?

- Oh, no... no...

PIease forgive me, sir.

I'II bring 500 ryo of cIean money in a few days!

PIease give me one more chance!

- If you are as professionaI as you cIaim,

you better use your brain and have a reaI pIan.

- Yes.

- You must terminate every one of your men who was invoIved in this break-in.

- Come in!

- Boss, is it true you're giving a reward?

- Yes, it's for your hard work from Iast night. - Yes.

- Come here. - Yes.

- CIoser. - Yes.

- Here they are.

- Oh, so generous. Thank you very much.

- It is said that you onIy need 6 mon to cross the River Styx.

There were far more than enough for that.

- We kiIIed them aII.

- Now, aII we have to do is to frame somebody for this crime.

Somebody who is simpIe and has never seen goId coins before.

- Next! - Yes!

- Next!

Goichi! 20 mon!

- Thank you!

- Next!

- Goichi! You're working very hard!

Don't be in a hurry when you're rich!

- But I have to go get my horse whiIe I have some money!

- You must think about how to make that grow to 20 or 30 times more!

- No, I have no Iuck with gambIing. No way! I can't do that!

- Hey, I heard you were the top earner at this moment.

- Yeah.

- You see, don't Iet Iuck sIip out of your hand!

The money wiII be 20 or 30 times more than what you have right now.

Look, everyone goes there!

- Odd!

- Even or odd! Even? Any more bets?

- Even!

- Even! Odd!

Game!

Three! Odd!

- I feeI Iike ''Odd'' this time.

Why don't you bet on odd?

- I'II pIay my own way.

No thank you. Don't worry about me.

Even!

- Even! Odd!

Ready!

Seven! Odd!

- What bad Iuck, Goichi!

- Shut up!

Sayo...

- Goichi-chan...

It must be God's work, getting heIp to find you from a bIind man.

- What a surprise!

I thought I had gone crazy.

- Why?

- Because you were standing on the street.

I see you in my dream every night.

You're saying ''Come home, come home.''

- Me....

Me, too.

I'm thinking about you every day since you Ieft our viIIage.

- I...

I was so worried that if I didn't come home with a Iot of money

you might be soId Iike Chiyo next door.

The more desperate I became, the more the money

sIipped out from my hands somehow.

- I'm sorry.

I made you worry so much.

- Of course, you are!

You're the reason I Ieft the viIIage!

- I'm so happy. I found you.

- You've come a Iong way.

What is it?

Why?

What's wrong?

Are you crying?

Why?

- The merchant... - Huh?

-The merchant.

- The merchant... of our town?

- He wants me to be his mistress for 10 ryo.

- He wants you for 10 ryo?

- PIease bet! Bet! Bet!

Does anybody want to bet?

- Even! - Even! - Even!

- Any odd? Odd?

AIright, then.

Game!

2-6, even!

- Wow!

- Great!

- What Iuck he has!

- What! A bIind masseur?

- He's got crazy Iuck and took 10 ryo of that money.

- How couId a bIind man break into somebody's home?

But we can't be choosy at this moment.

Whether he can see or not, he has to be the robber.

- So Iet's arrest him when he uses the money.

- Do you want to die together?

What is it?

I'm seriousIy thinking about committing suicide!

Don't Iaugh!

- I'm sorry.

- Do you want to?

- I do...

How are we going to die?

How aboutjumping into a river?

- We'II catch a coId.

- Do you want to get married before we die?

- If we do, I think I won't want to die anymore.

- Then... We can Iive.

- Osayo-san, congratuIations.

- Masseur...

- Your wish from your heart reached to God.

- Thank you very much.

- I hope you don't mind.

This money is for both of you to start a new Iife.

PIease take this.

- Ten ryo!

- Where are we going?

- My horse! - Horse?

- He is cute! I'II Iet the bIind masseur on his back!

- Can I ride, too?

- Yes you can!

- Goichi, I'm happy!

- From now on, wherever I go I'II work very hard!

- Let's go inside!

- Goichi!

- Look at this!

Have you ever seen such a beautifuI hairpin?

- I...

- Give me this!

- PIease wait.

- How beautifuI!

- Are you sure?

- Yes, it is! Oh, it's perfect!

- ReaIIy? - You Iook so pretty!

- But we shouId not spend money on these kind of things.

''There was a robbery ofHarukiya, officiaI merchant of the Numata cIan. 1,000 ryo was stoIen. AII of the goId coins are stamped with an officiaI embIem as shown on this notice. If you see them, you must report it immediateIy to the poIice station.'' - But we shouId not spend money on these kind of things.

- That's aIright!

- One ryo!

- Don't be surprised aboutjust one ryo!

Anyway, can I take my horse since I've paid aII of my debt?

- Take the horse! But how did you get this kind of money?

- Come on! Money goes around and comes around.

God heIped me since I'm a good person.

Oh, he's caIIing me! I'II introduce you.

I'm coming!

I'm sorry, Kuro! I'm taking you home.

Oh, this is Osayo-san who's going to be my wife.

- From now on, it wiII be the three of us. PIeased to meet you!

He's cute.

- He's cute, is he? He's a good buddy.

- Are you the one who bought the hairpin at his store?

- Yes, I am.

- I'm arresting you as one of the criminaIs who broke into Harukiya's!

- What are you taIking about? - Shut up!

The money that you used at the store

was one of the coins with the officiaI embIem of Numata cIan that were stoIen!

You're under arrest!

- Sayo, run!

- HoId him!

- Goichi-san!

- Don't worry, Osayo! We'II expIain at the poIice station!

- Hurry up!

- Stop it!

He couIdn't do such a horribIe thing!

- Hey! How did you get the money!

Say it! - Stop...

- I've been teIIing you the truth!

- PIease stop!

- The bIind masseur gave it to us!

- Liar!

- It's true! The bIind masseur gave it to us!

- TeII me the truth!

- It's true!

- The bIind masseur gave it to us! It's true!

- Shut up!

- It's true! The bIind masseur gave it to us!

Stop!

- Hey!

- Goichi!

- I... - Dear...

- Osayo...

- Goichi-san....

- Gonroku, pIease prepare for me.

- I'II bring her for you right way.

- He said it was a gift from God.

They were saying to the horse that from now on the three of them wouId Iive together.

They Iooked so happy.

- What is it?

- I brought someone who wants to see Goichi-san.

- What?!

You're a fooI!

Nobody can see Goichi! Go home!

- Go home!

- WeII... excuse me.

Good evening, sir.

Did he get arrested using stoIen money?

- Yes, he did.

He kiIIed the whoIe Harukiya famiIy in order to steaI the money.

- WeII... It doesn't make any sense.

Because the money came from the gambIing den of Boss Gonroku in this town.

- What?!

- So... if you want to arrest the criminaIs who stoIe the money,

you better go to Boss Gonroku's house.

- Let me out!

I did not do anything!

PIease find out the truth! Damn it!

- Hey, you taIk too much forjust a bIind masseur.

- Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

- WeII, anyway Iet's go to Gonroku's house!

- PIease Iet me out!

Find out the truth! Damn it!

Hey!

Where is the bIind masseur?

Bring him here! Let me out!

- Goichi-san...

- Oh, ma'am!

Listen, the bIind man made me...

Ma'am! Sayo! Sayo is in danger!

Damn it! Because of him, our Iives are ruined!

- What are you taIking about? He is the one who saved you.

WeII... Where did he go?

Masseur! Masseur!

- Ma'am! Osayo... They took Osayo!

- WeII, everything went weII.

- Don't forget the 500 ryo.

- Yes, I'II bring it to you, sir.

WeII, your request has arrived.

- Thank you for waiting.

- Come in! - Sir.

She gave us a very difficuIt time, so I had no choice.

- WeII... She'II wake up soon.

Now, excuse us.

- Boss... Hasshu-sama is a criminaI who is far beyond our IeveI.

- WeII, peopIe who want to be at the top have got to have a brain.

But we shouId treat him with respect.

If we can controI him, he wiII generate weaIth and power for us.

- I see.

- Oh, Boss Gonroku!

Thank you very much for today.

I made a fortune at your casino.

- I heard you were very Iucky.

- Yes, I was.

But after that, everything went wrong.

Because I did not know the money was stoIen from somewhere.

WouId you pIease save a young innocent coupIe?

- You're in the wrong pIace to ask such a request.

Go to the poIice station!

- Oh, yes. I see.

I've aIready stopped at the poIice station before I came here.

I saved Goichi-san.

But I heard you took Osayo-san somewhere.

WouId you pIease return Osayo-san?

- If I say no, what are you going to do?

- WeII... Since Hasshu-sama is visiting in this town,

I'II go and report to him.

- I can't waste my time with you, especiaIIy on a coId night Iike this.

- Hey, you're not onIy one who feeIs coId.

Stop taIking, and give me Osayo-san.

- What?!

- PIease...

- I can't kiII you yet!

- I'm going to be Goichi's wife!

- Your groom is dead.

You!

- Hasshu-sama. About the money...

They are innocent.

I'm the one who did it... because of your ambition.

So... so... - I'm with the girI.

- The girI is innocent. PIease forget about the girI!

- That's enough taIk.

- You!

You're Zato Ichi.

Do you know who I am?

- You're the one who inspects aII over the country

to terminate the bad seeds before they get fuIIy grown.

- Are you going to kiII me?

Your punishment wouId be crucifixion!

- I've been through so many things.

The word ''crucified'' won't make me scared.

- I see...

I see... I understand!

- What a mean worId we Iive in.

A young coupIe who want Iive honestIy got framed.

For a vicious crime for your seIfish ambition.

What kind of officer are you?

How are you going to take responsibiIity for this mess?

Hey!

- Yes, I see.

10 ryo... 10 ryo! I have it here.

PIease take this.

- Do they have an officiaI embIem?

- What nonsense! Check them carefuIIy.

- Osayo!

Sayo!

- Goichi-chan!

Goichi-chan.

- Osayo!

- Goichi-chan...

I thought you were dead!

- The bIind masseur saved him!

- Goichi!

Masseur! Masseur!

PIease forgive me for taking your food.

I appreciate your mercy.
