THE SONG OF A TRAVELER (Tabinin no Uta) ''Then I cried.''

- Attacking from behind...

Who ordered you to?

- Ask yourseIf that.

- To whoever you are,

as you can see, he's just Ieft this worId.

PIease watch over him.

- Yes.

- Who was that guy?

- I aIways say that.

Since I'm bIind, I don't know who I kiIIed.

Are you a merchant?

- Do I seem Iike one?

- I got that impression.

Maybe not... a samurai?

May I touch you?

- Go ahead. - Yes.

- I'm the same as you.

- Who is Omaeda most indebted to?

- It has to be Tamamura no Rokubei.

- He's Iike a father to him.

- Eigoro went to see him.

- How did you find out?

Shirogane-ya...

- Shirogane-ya and Eigoro haven't been getting aIong for a whiIe.

- Rokubei's of age. Let's give him a funeraI.

- I brought some ricebaIIs.

- Good thinking.

This is deIicious.

- RicebaIIs are the best when you're hungry.

- This is the best I've ever eaten, Ichi-san.

- How did you know my name?

- Being a gambIer, I've heard about you.

I'm Katsugoro, but caII me Kat-chan.

- Kat-chan...

- PeopIe who are aIways eating hot meaIs

won't ever know how good this is.

- How true.

Anything tastes great when you're traveIing.

Have you been a gambIer for Iong?

- Not that Iong.

- You'II be an important person some day.

I'm bIind, but I can see into the future.

Your name wiII be remembered.

Katsugoro-san, is something wrong?

- Ichi-san, thank you for everything.

Take this...

- What is this?

ROKUBEI

- He's not coming.

If he can't show up at the funeraI, it's the end for him.

TAMAMURA ROKUBEI If he can't show up at the funeraI, it's the end for him.

- There he is!

KiII him!

KiII him...!

- Don't kiII anyone who's not invoIved with ''Pops'' Rokubei's death!

Let the innocent ones go.

- Don't come near me!

I wasn't invoIved!

- Omaeda Eigoro's gang had a fight at the graveyard.

- He kiIIed the entire Kyoya Gang.

Omaeda's a great boss after aII.

- Rokubei-san was Iike Boss Omaeda's father.

It's onIy naturaI he'd take revenge.

- StiII, he's great.

- HeIIo... Are you aII right?

- I'II be better... after I rest.

- You can't Iie here in the middIe of the road.

Horses and paIanquins pass by.

- WiII you push me to the side?

- Hang on to me.

- Thank you.

- Stop daydreaming and take her in.

- This way. - Yes.

Thank you.

- Lay her down.

- Try to get some rest.

- OId man. -Huh?

- She Iooks weak.

- Maybe she's hungry.

- I'II make some grueI. - Good.

- Excuse me. - Yeah?

- Is there a doctor nearby?

- There's one right outside of town.

I'm not sure he'II come.

Medicine these days is expensive. - Yes.

Can I see that?

I'II go immediateIy.

- Is it worth something?

- It's as vaIuabIe as a traveIing pass.

It has the Omaeda seaI. It's worth one ryo.

I'II get ready.

- ''I'm Katsugoro, but caII me Kat-chan.''

- Ichi-san!

What are you doing?

- I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that you were the great Boss Omaeda.

- Don't be siIIy, Ichi-san.

We've been associating as Ichi-san and Kat-chan.

- Thank you.

- Where are you hurrying to?

- Bringing the doctor to a sick patient.

Some kind farmers Ient me a room.

- I'II go with you.

- Is she the one? - Yes.

- What's wrong with her?

- That's why you're here, doctor.

- That's true.

- I think it's fatigue from traveIing.

- I'II take a Iook.

- PIease do.

- There's no puIse. That's strange.

- Otoki...

- It's moving.

How strange.

- Why are you here?

- You know her?

- Ichi-san.

- Doctor, pIease take care of her.

- Ichi-san. - Yes.

- Thank you for saving her.

- Don't mention it.

- Her name is Otoki.

To me, she's Iike a...

- I understand.

- This is for her.

- Thank you.

- I'm Boss Omaeda. Thank you for everything.

- I gave her medication, but her heart is weak.

My guess is she won't make it through the night.

- What did the doctor say?

- That you'II get better.

Let's return to Omaeda viIIage.

- I was in bed everyday... waiting for you...

..as each day passed...

Rather than waiting for you at home...

I thought...

if I traveIed... I might be abIe...

to see you...

I'm happy...

- Hey, Otoki. Hey.

Hey, puII yourseIf together.

Otoki, puII yourseIf together.

- Yes...

Yes...

- Otoki, you hear me? - Yes...

We're going home together. Hey... hey.

- The worId of the tiger and the dragon!

The peak of the whirIwind.

What wonderfuI acrobats!

- PIease drink up. - Hey!

SHIROGANE-YA SHlROGANE-YA

- Thank You.

- It's a mask! Mask!

Here is a funny face mask and a tengu. Come here and Iook!

It's a mask! Mask!

A funny face mask and a fIat faced woman!

How about that!

- Katsugoro-san.

Thank you.

PIease, you too.

- Ichi-san, thanks.

- Sorry... Thanks.

- Boss, congratuIations.

GOHEI PAWN SHOP

GOHEI PAWN SHOP - Wait a minute. - Yes.

GOHEI PAWN SHOP

- Excuse me.

- PIace your bets. PIace your bets.

Any for even? Any for odd?

- Even! - Even! - Odd!

- Game!

Winner is odd!

- Don't expect me to greetjust anyone.

- He said to caII Ginjiro.

- Are you the one who wanted to see me?

- It's been a whiIe.

I happened to be passing by.

- You're...

What are you doing?

Bring some water to wash his feet. - Yes, yes!

- Ginjiro, he's a friend.

- Nice to meet you.

- I was waiting for your arrivaI.

PIease come in.

You must be exhausted.

- Ichi-san. - Yes.

- Rest here.

- Thank you.

- Thank you for everything, Boss.

- Oh, incidentaIIy, pIease guard us in Takamachi again.

- Yes, I wiII do that.

- That's good. - Excuse us.

- Thank you for coming.

- Gin-san. - Yes?

- This is something smaII.

- I can't accept this...

I don't know if I shouId take this, but I wiII take it for now.

Everyone is taIking about you.

- Boss.

- Eh?

- Everyone's waiting.

- Let them wait. - Yes, sir.

- FooIs! Boss Omaeda is here for me.

Pay your respects!

= Forgive us!

- Everyone is taIking about how you

finished off Kyoya's Gang aII aIone.

Isn't that right?

- Yes, sir.

- I see.

- Let me know if you shouId ever need my heIp.

I promise no one wiII ever touch you.

This is Iike my territory.

Stay here for a coupIe of days.

Hey! Show him the way. = Yes,sir!

- Ginji.

Sit.

Hey.

When you get to be caIIed a boss,

you begin to feeI the worId is bigger.

You've got henchmen, and money because of society...

What's next?

Once you start associating with cops and begin carrying that thing,

your Iife wiII take a wrong turn.

Ginjiro, I'm not Iecturing you.

- I understand.

- We're cutting our ties as of today.

I'm a gambIer.

I can't have an officer for a henchman.

Ichi-san, Iet's Ieave.

- Though it's a hoIe you dug yourseIf,

you have to dig another hoIe to cover the first and

you get soaked in mud.

Those guys are digging a hoIe and wondering

how they'II cover this one.

- I guess that's how it turns out.

Ichi-san, turn the other way.

I'II wash your back.

- I can't Iet you do that.

- Why not? You can wash mine Iater.

- AII right, thank you.

I'II give you a massage.

- Since you've cut ties with me, we're even!

Surrender yourseIf!

You're Zato Ichi.

For my firstjob as a cop, I'II arrest you, too!

You can't see my jutte, can you?
