A BROKEN PROMISE (Chigirigami) ''Then I cried.''

- Did my husband go over?

- He's here.

- TeII him to get home before he gets it.

AII he does is pIay chess.

- You'd better go home.

- After I finish this.

- Didn't a woman come here?

Quiet!

I'm asking you a question.

Did a woman come here?

Answer me!

- Did your wife Ieave you?

- What?! She's a precious gem.

One that took years to poIish.

Let me know as soon as you find her. Understand?

- You make your Iiving by seIIing women.

- What did you say?!

- Just Iet me know if you see her.

Understood?

- What a disgusting guy.

He's surviving off a woman.

- For a yakuza, he taIks big.

- I'm starved. - It's aImost ready.

- Let me go!

You creep.

- Sister, whatever the reason you shouIdn't go into the water

in this coId weather.

Are you mad because I stopped you from dying?

- Not reaIIy.

- Are you gIad?

- Of course not.

- Then how do you feeI?

- ShaII I Iook happy?

How about this?

- Do whatever you want.

I can't see anyway.

- Oh...

- Why did you attempt suicide?

- I'm tired of being asked that.

- It seems Iike they're Iooking for you.

- You'II be in troubIe when brother returns.

- Maybe she's dead.

- Oh... heIIo.

Do I get a reward?

- Did you find her?

- The reward...

- You fooI!!!

- What's this?

- It's the money you worked for.

Having no money is Iike being headIess.

Take it.

- Wait!

Are you reaIIy Ieaving?

- What do you mean?

- Quit acting cooI. I know you want to hoId me.

- You must have reaIIy Ied a hard Iife.

- Matsu...Bu... Where did those fooIs go?

Matsu... Bu...

- You make me indebted to you, and just Ieave?

- I'II be right with you.

- Miss, are you aIone?

- What wiII you have?

- How far do you intend to go?

- To the bottom of the sea, at first.

- This is a hiII. You're going the wrong way.

- You made me change my pIans.

- I'II be waIking another 10 or 20 ri. (1 ri = 2.44 miIes)

- Can I accompany you?

- There's nothing here.

OnIy the textiIe merchants come by occasionaIIy.

- It's a nice, quiet pIace.

- Too quiet and boring.

Have a nice time.

- Thank you.

There must be a dye house nearby.

Why did you attempt to kiII yourseIf?

Any reIatives?

Are you aIone?

You're just Iike me.

When you're IoneIy, you get depressed

and think of dying.

Aren't I right?

- I'm sorry...

After you've saved me.

I'm reaIIy sorry.

- In this vast worId,

there's a suitabIe pIace for everyone.

It's no reason to get depressed

just because the pIace you're Iiving is bad.

In a Iarge society,

there are just as many good things as bad.

- WeII...

- I'm Ichi.

- I'm Oyo.

- CongratuIations on being reIeased.

= CongratuIations.

- Where's my woman?

- You, teII him.

- We're doing our best to search for her.

I kept my eye on her, butjust when I Iet

my guard down, she escaped.

I promise to find her.

- According to a fisherman,

she was seen with a masseur.

- Bring her back.

- Are you singIe?

- Yes.

- Where are you from?

- Edo.

- I thought so!

This is Oyo-san, a new empIoyee.

Be nice to her.

- PIeased to meet you.

PIeased to meet you.

PIeased to meet you.

- Come with me.

- He hired me.

- Who is he?

- I'm...

- My brother.

- Your brother. I see.

Do you pIan to Iive with her?

- As soon as my sister finds a job,

I pIan to return home.

- I see.

Have a nice stay, then.

- Thanks.

- Watch your footsteps.

- Thank you.

- It's not aII that great, but there's room for one or two persons.

I'II have someone cIean the pIace.

- Watch out for him.

He's a fast one.

Is that masseur reaIIy your brother?

PuII up your kimono or you'II get it wet.

Higher. More.

- I'm back.

- Since you're not used to the work, you must be tired.

- Not at aII. Everyone's so nice.

I never imagined a Iife Iike this.

It's aII due to you.

I'II get dinner ready.

Are you... Ieaving?

- It's not a pIace for me to Iive.

Decent peopIe are working hard to Iive,

and you're trying to start anew.

- PIease don't go...

I'm not doing it for myseIf.

I want to treasure this Iife you saved.

And even if it takes a Iifetime, I want to repay you.

So untiI then, pIease...

don't go!

- You're reaIIy a kindhearted person.

My Iife hasn't been a decent one,

so I don't want you to get invoIved.

- Ichi-san, anything you're invoIved with, I want to be, too.

- A strange guy was Iooking at you.

Be carefuI.

- Ichi-san, what's most precious to you?

- Most precious...

Let's see...

- That you can't part with.

- That I can't part with...

Thanks.

- Parting is difficuIt, isn't it?

- You want us to part?

- This sword freed me.

But if you shouId use this again,

our Iives wiII be...

I promise not to go back to my oId seIf,

so, Ichi-san, wiII you do the same?

- I promise.

- There are many women working here.

I can't have you meeting aII of them.

Besides, for someone who's asking a question,

your attitude is bad!

Do you want me to caII the poIice?

- Take me wherever you want.

- Do we have a guest?

WeIcome.

- Bring me another cup.

- Yes, right away.

- Stop it!

PIease stop!

- It aII depends on you.

Hey. Stop.

- Come on.

- You want to break up with me that badIy?

I'II Iet you, but instead,

I'II kiII that masseur.

- He has nothing to do with me.

When I attempted suicide, he saved my Iife.

Ichi-san's not invoIved.

- Are you invoIved with him?

Are you?

- Where are you going?

Wait.

- You've worked for me for a Iong time.

You shouId know the code.

I don't Ieave empty-handed.

- PIease don't.

Don't do any harm to him.

PIease...

- You're coming back to me, then?

- It started.

- Hey, that masseur is Zato Ichi.

- Zato Ichi! Then he's the one who kiIIed Matsu and Buma...

- This is becoming interesting.

- Ichi-san, I'm sorry.

- They are the ones who made you attempt suicide.

- I'm aIright.

It's settIed.

- You may think so.

but... I am certain it is not.

- Hey!

You're Zato Ichi, aren't you?

I don't know how you're invoIved with her,

but Oyo has come back to me.

Had you been an ordinary masseur, I wouId have Iet you off,

but since you're Zato Ichi, it wouId hurt my reputation if I did.

Draw!

Draw your sword!

Oyo begged me to spare you, whiIe being heId by me.

What's wrong, you coward?!

Being saved by a woman,

it's the end for Zato Ichi!

Whether you draw or not, we're coming!
