- He's here!

He's an admirabIe man who is being punished for the sake of the farmers.

He appeaIed to the magistrate about the yearIy Iand taxes.

He was very concerned about us.

- Father...

- Do it!

- This river crossing is the onIy thing Ieft by Gihei-san now.

It's aIready been 6 months.

- There'II never be another man Iike him.

He was so great.

- I feeI sorry for his daughter.

- Hey, hey. Listen up. There'II be no boats going out.

Are aII of you hard of hearing?

No boats today. No boats today!

Hey masseur, what are you standing around for?

- I want to cross the river.

- You're swimming across?

- No.

- Then you can't cross. No boats today.

I just said no boats!

Leave!

- That's no way to treat a customer!

- From today, you needn't work as a boatman.

The Yazo Gang wiII take over.

Take your kids and Ieave.

- PIease move.

- What?

- Don't touch her!

- Damn brat! - Don't touch her!

- Why, you IittIe...

-Stop it! PIease stop!

- Throw him in the river!

- He got them!

- Thank you very much.

- Yes, yes.

- You were beaten by a masseur?

It must have made the woman and kids happy.

I'm so Iucky to have such great henchmen.

- We're very sorry.

- With Gihei dead everything shouId be going weII,

but you can't even take care of a woman.

ApoIogizing won't soIve anything.

Do something.

- Boss, I'm here.

Boss, thanks to you, everything went smoothIy.

- I'm gIad for you.

- PIease continue to be nice to me.

- It's for the farmers' sake.

- PIease accept this.

- It's not what we agreed on.

- Don't you understand what the boss said?

True, it's 3 ryo for the girI,

but what about our hard work? That's extra.

- This is just...

a smaII token of appreciation.

- I didn't mention it because of greed, we have to set an exampIe.

- Yes, of course...

- Here, take this.

Aren't you Iucky? Your famiIy won't have to starve.

- Don't you want it?

- We agreed on 3 ryo...

- ImbeciIe!

Can't you appreciate the boss' feeIing?

You shouId feeI Iucky you even got 1 ryo for that ugIy daughter of yours.

If you don't Iike it, you can take her back.

I'II take this.

- I'm sorry, pIease...

Everyone needs money.

AII you have to do is seII your daughter.

- How oId is Ochiyo-chan?

- Thirteen.

- Thirteen...

- When she first came she was onIy ten.

I reaIIy couIdn't do anything for her.

You raised her aIong with the chiIdren.

Being mother to aII these chiIdren.

It's not something that's easiIy done.

I Iove chiIdren.

WeII... Good night.

You're forced to do anything.

- If you need heIp just caII me.

Boss Yazo is a good man.

- That masseur's stiII around.

What's wrong?

- That's...

- What is it?

- That's Zato Ichi.

- Zato Ichi...

- Now that we know he's Zato Ichi,

we can'tjust attack him. We'II be dead.

Many bosses have died on his account.

Just remember don't defy him.

I'm not afraid of him.

I don't want you aII to die needIessIy.
