TOEI
Beginning of Taisho Era in a Tokyo inner suburb.
Hey you,
how dare you touch my girl?
You're pretending to be her lover.
We're gonna fix your mug. You won't be anybody's lover anymore.
Stop.
A bodyguard monk?
I see...
Is he one of the best followers from your temple?
Are the both of you buddies?
It's not a problem. Leave him alone.
Fucking monk!
- We'll start with you! - Bastard!
Ryotatsu, is it you?
What's going on? Stop.
Shinkai. That's perfect timing.
Stop fighting.
Leave him alone.
Wait!
Please wait.
What?
Please, stop. Excuse him.
"Shinkai Mikuni.
"By provoking a dispute
"and hurting those thugs,
"you broke our precepts and dishonored us.
"You are to be relieved of your administrative duties
"and be transferred to Toryu temple.
"Furthermore, you are to spend one year in isolation."
5 YEARS LATER, DURING SUMMER
House of the Plum Trees
Thank you for this offering.
- It tickles! - Ouch!
Help me!
I'm the one who needs help.
What are you doing?
You agreed. You can't run away now.
That's enough! We were having fun.
You're just a kid. Don't pretend to be an adult.
What? You dirty debauched monk!
Debauched?
Here, come on.
I can't do that.
Of course you can. You will quietly let this guy do as he pleases
and you will bring back some money.
Poor guy.
Your cigarettes!
Shikishimas?
How can a kid afford them?
Matches!
- Take them out. - Ouch...
Shinkai,
you love women, don't you?
Here, I'm happy to see you again.
A pretty girl, isn't she? Ready to open out.
You're trying to abuse her.
You'll be punished.
Tell me, dirty monk,
why aren't you punished too?
I never make women cry.
I always make them happy when making love.
This perverted monk is amazing!
- Will it be all? - What?
You see, you've been punished.
WICKED PRIEST
Killing a monk is 7 years of bad fortune.
Don't you know it?
Asshole!

Master Superior,
the police had to be called in.
That's the height of dishonor.
Let's refer to the council to punish him.
Yes.
He's the shame of our mother house.
There's no time for futile talks anymore.
Shinkai must be expelled immediately.
Master Superior,
the time of reflection is over.
Would you allow me
to personally take care of him?
- How? - Master Superior,
Shinkai already caused you...
Master Superior, I understand your kindness
but this problem affects us all.
You can't solve it alone.
If Shinkai
sank into such a debauchery,
we all have our part of responsibility.
I believe the way of Buddha
must not father sinners.
I'm going to inflict him
seven days of isolation.
Toryu Temple
Shinkai seems to be working hard.
Gosuke!
Where is Shinkai?
Are you looking for the master?
He left for two or three days.
- Two or three days? - Yes.
Master Superior, Shinkai didn't respect his isolation.
Where did he go?
Probably out to see women
or gamble.
Odd!
Even!
The die is cast.
Shinkai!
Stop!
Don't look at me with those big eyes.
I'm a customer like everybody else.
Excuse me.
I'll join you.
Are you a monk?
Yes.
- Are you coming to gamble? - Yes, I love it.
- Put down your stakes. - Here we go.
Even!
- Odd! - Done!
The die is cast.
3 and 1, even!
7, 8, 9... I'm missing 50 sens.
Tell me... Please,
stop praying. It brings bad luck.
Take it easy. You can't see the dice when you're tense.
Can you really see the dice?
- Yes. - Stop bullshiting me.
Leave the doubt to enter the truth.
That's how you reach Nirvana.
Nirvana?
And then you can see the dice?
Yes, exactly.
- So you have divine luck! - You're quite a joker.
Do as I do. You'll make some money.
I follow women, not monks.
Put down your stakes.
10 yens on even.
Even!
The die is cast.
4 and 6, even!
What? You're doing miracles.
- Not me, Buddha. - Of course.
He's lucky.
The die is cast.
Even!
So I have to bet on odd.
The die is cast.
- 2 and 6, even! - Amazing!
What are you doing? What about the game?
It's a good time to stop.
What are you talking about? Let's continue.
It's the right time to stop.
- Don't say that. - Thank you all.
- Good bye. - Even or odd?
- I thank you. - Tell me...
To be polite I'm asking you to stay a little longer.
I'd like to
but suddenly I have a stomach ache.
And you, how is your stomach?
You're going to have diarrhea. Let's see a doctor.
Don't take us for bloody idiots!
Stop it. Don't be bad losers.
You're going to tarnish Kito's Clan reputation.
Isn't it, boss?
Excuse me.
My stomach...
I'm staying... I'm staying a little longer, ok?
No, I'm going to eat nearby.
Shinkai!
What are you doing here despite your isolation?
Master Superor, what a pleasure to meet you.
Shinkai, you have a birthday service at one of our followers house, don't you?
Yes, it is time. I was about to go there.
I forgot about it when
I imposed this isolation on you.
Fortunately you remembered.
I'll leave you now.
- Shinkai. - Yes?
Do you have your monastic dress?
If you don't have it...
OF course I have it.
It's in a safe place,
hidden from clothes moth.
Marugane Pawnshop
You finally remembered me?
Heartless!
Let me eat tranquilly.
You must pay your interests today.
Don't eat that. I'll buy you a good steak.
I have to go. Get my dress.
Your dress?
And the money?
Okane, why are you like this?
- We're lovers... - I know,
but one has to be clear when there's money involved.
Okane, come over here. Come on.
No! No need to put on your usual seductive little act.
I'm not putting on any act.
I love you from the bottom of my heart. Don't you know it?
Are you sincere?
Yes, I am.
- Really? - Really.
Your libido is getting carried away, isn't it? Terrific!
Okane!
- Tell me, Okane... - Yes?
I already asked you
to give me little gentle kisses.
I can't help it if I have a big mouth!
You never remember what I want. Come on, a gentle little kiss.
So? Did you like it?
Komagataya Seaweed wholesaler
Please.
I'm late.
Shinkai,
you're coming here despite your isolation?
It is our duty to perform those services.
What are you doing here?
Sir Komagataya asked me to come to recite sutras.
I refused at first but he insisted.
Master Gyotoku, from Saikaku temple,
told me you wouldn't be here.
That's why I asked him to come.
Gyotoku, from Saikaku temple...
- Sir Komagataya. - Yes.
Here's our family contribution.
What is this?
Are you paying me for my funeral prayers or to get rid of me?
Not at all. I...
With a debauched monk like me, money is the solution to everything.
Someone must have whispered you this trick.
Shinkai, Sir Komagataya dares not to tell you clearly to leave.
Gyotoku, don't act like a thief trying to take advantage of this situation.
What?
Your intentions are evident.
Trying to corrupt my followers, it's mean.
That's enough.
Let's proceed with Shinkai like we're used to.
The deceased will be happy to hear the usual sutras.
I recognize you here, Madam. You're right.
You heard her. You can leave.
Well, I'll start.
Ladies and gentlemen,
for the poor...
I'll show you round Tokyo.
We can get you a job.
You will have nice clothes...
You've got a nice butt.
Help!
They'll be terrible if you resist.
Hey you! Leave her alone!
You've got a problem?
What will you do to her?
Tell me, student...
You're very brave.
Hey, student!
Don't worry miss.
I'll escort you. Let's go.
Sit down please.
Looking for a job without knowing Tokyo is careless.
You saved my life.
It's the house of a friend.
You can stay here without fear of being troubled.
I didn't ask your first name.
- My name is Mitsue. - Mitsue? Mimi?
That's a pretty name!
And you're very beautiful.
I think
I'm going to fall in love with you, Mimi.
Don't be afraid.
No!
Let go of me...
I'm leaving. I'm going back to the country!
Tell me, Mitsue,
do you want me to get angry?
In Tokyo we show no feeling!
It looks like it's starting.
His punches really hurt. He hits for real.
Kito will reimburse us for the doctor bill.
Ramune, why are you laughing?
I'm trying to picture...
Who the hell are you?
Don't mind me. I just want to watch.
Tell me, monk, are you looking for trouble?
No. I was wondering if you could let me enjoy her too.
Moron...
You gotta be kidding me!
Hey, kiddo!
Kiddo? Asshole...
Listen, kid.
When someone makes a woman cry,
I get mad.
Especially if it's a pimp trying to suck her blood.
Ouch... Shit...
So? Did you get my point?
Master...
It's this girl.
I precisely needed a waitress.
Really?
And she's quite good-looking.
Did you have a good time with her?
Yes, of course.
I was sure of it.
I can't encroach on your property, can I?
Boss, take good care of her.
And since I'm doing you a favor, a little offering is welcome.
In your story, it's better to ignore
what the other is feeling...
Motherfucker!
Fuck...
IS that you?
I thought you were less stubborn.
I give up. Do whatever you want with me!
You're just a kid. Don't act like an adult.
It would make your father cry.
My father? I don't have one.
I'm a bastard.
I never met him and I don't know his name.
I don't even know if he's still alive.
I don't give a shit anyway.
I'm not the best example to lecture you,
but stop abusing girls. Behave like a man.
Do you understand? Promise me.
Ok?
Why do you fight when you don't stand a chance?
This guy had an incredible strength.
Ken,
do you remember? Only four days left.
And you will have fulfilled your contract?
One, two, three, four...
In four days I'll be free.
I'll work hard and save money.
I want to open a sushis restaurant after that.
Sushis?
Yes.
When I met you three years ago,
you took me to eat some sushis. Do you remember?
They were so tasty...
Stop talking about that.
No. I never thought you tricked me.
When a girl runs away from her home,
she knows what fate awaits her.
Ken, listen to me without getting angry.
Stop doing this.
I asked you to stay calm.
I picture you as a cook.
It's not my thing.
I'm ready to work hard.
Even if it's a small restaurant,
it will be ours.
After all, it's not such a bad idea, a sushis restaurant.
Will I know how to cook?
YES, I'm sure of it.
Tell me, Ken,
will you really marry a woman like me?
What a formal tone...
If you say no, I'll cry.
Ok.
Ken!
Ken.
Ken...
I'll be right back.
What do you want?
Shinkai stopped you from bringing a girl, didn't he?
- I wasn't feeling quite myself today... - Moron!
You fucked up.
The boss wants you to bring four or five.
We'll send them to Shanghai. It pays well.
What earns us money earns you some too.
So?
Sir Akama, I don't want to do that anymore.
What?
Did you become a pussy?
Is it Kogiku who asked you to stop?
No. It got nothing to do with her.
Is it Shinkai who lectured you?
He already stole us some money while gambling.
We'll have a word or two with him about it.
Ken, if that's what's bothering you, we'll take care of him.
Listen.
The boss likes young men like you.
So don't say no. You could upset him.
Bring us four or five girls.
Sir Akama...
Money is more radiant than Buddha.
I thank you.
Good, I'll leave you.
Take care of yourself.
It's a mouse.
I have a feeling they like it here.
Master,
your arms are strong...
Madam,
you seem to like it here too.
I heard that
your late husband neglected you
and deceived you very often.
Everything is just vanity.
You have to enjoy life.
- I'll call someone. - There's nobody here.
Madam,
"Paradise is in this world."
Those are Buddha's words.
We must...
fully enjoy...
life.
Thank you for this offering.
Thank you very much.
Master, you have some visitors.
It looks really sharp.
- Shinkai. - Yes.
Don't ever come again to our casino to gamble.
Impossible.
Do you want me to tell my boss that you're not cooperating?
- And let us do our business with the girls. - Impossible.
Impossible? Moron!
I hate killing men.
What?
But I may pull your guts out.
- Stop blathering like that. - Wait.
What? What do you want?
Since you came to see me,
I want to be forgiven for my behavior.
May I offer you a drink?
A drink? No way!
Don't say that.
I've got premium quality sake
and fresh fish.
What?
Would you refuse
to drink my sake?
No, we'll drink some.
Go ahead, drink as much as you want.
Help yourselves with the sashimis.
It's mice. I'm breeding them.
Genji, have some sashimis.
I'll try some.
Let's see...
Do you like it?
Yes. Very tasty.
Is it good?
Really?
Great. Go ahead, drink
and eat to your heart's content.
What a nice meal...
It was delicious.
Come back to see me.
I have enough to make a lot of sashimis in this house.
- Isn't it, Gosuke? - Yes.
In this house?
I'm a good cook, am I not?
I managed to make a meal with mice.
Mice?
Sashimis... Mice?
Help!
Let's have dinner in a quiet place.
Dinner? Do you want to go to a restaurant?
Yes.
So you're inviting me.
Wait here a moment.
I'll be right back.
- Good bye. - Thank you very much.
- Mom. - Kentaro, what are you doing here?
You probably did some stupid thing again.
I've had enough. You always suspect me.
I hope you're not causing anyone some trouble.
That's it.
I know.
Will you come back tonight?
Yes, alright.
Promised?
Excuse me.
Who is this woman?
- She's my nanny. - Your nanny?
Yes. Let's go.
Miss, be careful.
He's a rubbish student.
How? What is he studying?
Listen, if you let him seduce you,
something bad will happen to you.
Go back home before it's too late.
I can't go back.
So wait for me a moment in this restaurant.
Go on, quick.
Ken.
You're hurting me with your wicked strength.
I'm pissed of.
I have my reasons.
You didn't keep your promise. And don't talk to me like that!
Forgive me, boss.
Boss?
I'm feeling some respect for you.
Idiot!
Stop it!
I don't know what he did but leave him alone.
Who are you?
His mother. If you want to hit him, hit me instead.
Ken,
you may not have a father
but your mother is great.
You should be ashamed to do that.
I know.
Kentaro, I'm sorry you don't have a father.
But you mustn't be mad at him.
It's ok, mom, about my father.
Don't cry.
Ken,
you shouldn't make your mother cry.
Me, I'm all alone in this world.
It's not your case.
Madam,
buy yourself some sea eels.
I can't accept.
OF course you can.
Kentaro...
What? Didn't she come?
I saw a girl in front of the restaurant.
A guy came and they left together.
A guy from Kito clan.
They kidnapped her.
Here.
What a pity.
You couldn't try her.
Moron!
Do you refuse?
Ken, What's happening to you?
You've been different lately.
How dare you speak to the boss like that?
We have no morality.
Is that so?
If you're telling the truth, then there's nothing we can do.
In this case, leave Kogiku.
Leave her?
Tomorrow she'll be free.
She still has debts.
She must work for another year.
Impossible!
We've been continuously lending her money for three years.
If you had agreed to work with us,
I would have cancelled her debts.
I brought her here.
But it wasn't a good idea.
You're lying!
She worked very hard. That's impossible.
Shut up!
If you love her, keep bringing us some girls
or give us some money.
You're disgusting me.
You're exploiting us without mercy.
- Ken! - Kogiku!
Don't worry about me.
Bastards...
How much does she owe you?
Too much for a tenderfoot like you.
I asked you how much!
200 yens.
200 yens? Damn it...
Hey!
Get lost. You've got nothing to do here anymore.
Buzz off!
What's going on?
What are you afraid of?
Please, help me.
Of course. I'm a servant of Buddha.
Thank you very much!
Calm down.
You've been beaten, my dear.
You've got nothing to fear anymore. Relax.
No...
Madam,
where are you taking me to, disguised like that?
My mustache is itching.
To a fun place.
This place is very entertaining.
But here the houses belong to the Saikaku temple.
Don't we risk to run into Gyotoku?
At the Ginkgo house too?
The Ginkgo house?
Quick, quick...
- Sorry... - Excuse us.
Now that's
a nice show.
You're too tall. We can't see anything from behind.
Nothing at all.
Shut up.
To watch women give themselves completely
is magnificent.
So?
Do you like it?
Ladies and gentlemen,
you are invited to sit down to eat.
If someone needs some company we'll take care of it.
You have a lot of customers.
Many men are not satisfied with ordinary things.
Boss, Shinkai is here.
- What? - Shinkai?
Gee up!
Tell me, what's swinging between the legs of this horse?
Again! The night is only starting.
Come on, one more run!
To keep me waiting after such a show is cruel.
Hang on, I'm having a drink.
- Here we go! - Come on!
Come.
All my gratitude for this offering.
Shinkai,
you broke your vows.
Stand up!
You're all a bunch of louts.
Dear voyeurs, the show is over.
What do you want? Get out!
Madam,
you better hide that instead of getting mad.
Ryotatsu.
I know very well what your intrusion here means.
Is that all you've got to say?
I won't tell anyone that you're involved in all this.
Shinkai, you're gonna die.
Really?
Shinkai!
Shinkai.
You're disgusting.
Shinkai, say your prayers.
Anyway, I'm destined to go to heaven.
Moron!
How dare you mock us?
- Go get rid of him! - Alright.
Come on!
One, two, three!
Good riddance.
Ken,
it may not be enough to free Kogiku,
but take this.
I'm sorry to cause you some trouble.
Don't be ridiculous, Ken. That's all I have.
That's 12 yens 50 total.
We're far from the right amount.
That's terrible! They're gonna take Kogiku tomorrow.
Kogiku?
They will sell her to Shanghai.
Kogiku, to Shanghai?
Even if we had the money,
they wouldn't let her go.
Master!
Mom!
What's going on?
You're my mother. You abandoned me under a cherry tree.
You're my mother!
What are you talking about? You're not my daughter.
Stop...
- What's going on? - Let go of me.
Hurry up. Sakura is a good actress
but she won't hold much longer.
You really look like my mother.
Boss!
- Kogiku ran away. - What?
Mom...
No, I only wanted to say this word.
Buddha's love is like a mother's love.
Donen
Master Superior?
Chika,
I don't want to look inquisitive
but he has the same beads.
That's because my parents
were among his followers.
Mom.
Shinkai?
What's the matter Kentaro?
I want to confide someone to you.
Someone?
Kogiku, come here.
You?
Mom,
this is Kogiku.
Can she stay here for a while?
- Please. - But Kentaro...
Mom,
we wanted to marry.
If I didn't intercede
we would have been separated. I helped her to escape the brothel.
What?
That's insane. Get lost!
I don't want a whore in our house.
Mom, I beg you!
Kogiku is unhappy.
Kentaro!
Don't worry.
I'll come through all right.
Don't cause your mother any trouble.
Kogiku!
Everything is my fault.
You did it because of me.
Forgive me.
Wait.
Your name is Kogiku, isn't it?
Do you love my son?
Yes, Kentaro is a good man.
It's not her fault.
Please, forgive me.
Ok.
Kentaro, if you really love each other,
whatever she did,
I can't see anything wrong with that.
Mom...
But lead a normal life
and make her happy.
Kogiku, come in.
This is your home now.
Madam!
Thank you.
Kogiku...
Ken,
tell me what happened.
My dear masseur...
Don't you come tonight?
Later.
Come with me.
- It's hot tonight. - Yes.
Who did you come to treat?
Kito clan boss?
Is it ok like that?
I never saw you around.
I just came into town.
Don't hesitate to call me if you need me.
It's not good. You're very tense.
Ouch! You're rubbing me too hard.
Sorry.
- Boss. - What?
You're earning a lot money with the girls, aren't you?
It's not bad.
Ah ok. So if I'm right,
You're lining their pockets,
aren't you?
In this case,
if you ill-treat them,
you will be punished.
Mind your own business!
Boss.
That's enough. Shut up.
Once a girl has carried out her contract,
do you give her back her freedom?
Moron... I don't like what you're telling me.
Aren't you blind?
Kito.
What?
It's me.
Shinkai! You?
I'm not a ghost.
I'm not done with my massage yet.
What do you want?
A written attestation
confirming Kogiku's release.
She still has debts.
Is that so?
She has no memory of the debts you're talking about.
Help!
- Him? - A ghost!
You're the ones looking like ghosts. Don't be afraid.
I ain't dead.
Go on. Shoot if you can.
If you miss, you'll put a bullet into your boss belly.
Don't shoot!
Give me your weapon.
I said your weapon!
Do as he says!
And stop aiming at me.
Now, Kito,
Kogiku's attestation.
Give it to him. Hurry!
Give it!
Now move away fast.
Do you hear me?
Kito,
there's something else I'd like.
What?
You're the boss of this brothel.
Could you make a gesture to celebrate the end of her contract?
Consider it as an adoptive father sense of duty.
Hurry up.
Come on!
Thank you.
Kogiku will be so happy.
By the way, Kito,
I forgot something important.
- What? - Well...
For the massage...
Chika...
Are you Chika?
Donen!
It's really you.
It's been such a long time...
Where do you live?
Nearby.
So you must know I'm at Kannon temple.
Yes, I knew it.
You became someone important.
Why didn't you come to see me?
I didn't dare. A woman like me...
So what's new? Tell me how you're doing.
Let's go somewhere else.
But I...
You're with somebody?
Yes.
Your husband?
Or a child?
No, I don't have a husband or a child.
Ah ok.
I'm lucky to have met you!
Don't you want to come to the temple?
I'd love to but I have things to do.
I have to go.
Why?
See you later. Excuse me.
Chika!
Joshin.
I want to know where she lives.
Stop!
Quick!
Shinkai!
Shinkai,
give us the girls back.
Certainly not.
What?
Moron!
They fulfilled their contract.
Do you want to get them back by force?
Asshole!
I'm happy you could run away.
We were waiting for you.
Now that their contract is over, the girls take refuge here.
We call this temple "the prostitutes refuge".
Is that so?
Ken, we could open a brothel with all those women.
Working for you would be a pleasure.
- She's right. - Really?
So show me.
Shinkai!
Okane, are you there?
I thought it was just gossip but it's true.
What do you want to do with them if you love me?
Okane, listen to me.
I'll explain...
No you won't, you dirty perverted monk! I've had enough!
Okane, I'm helping them.
You're helping them? Liar!
If so, why do you have this joyful face?
A monk who's lying will go straight to hell.
Sheltering those girls
is totally insane.
Shinkai is capable
of changing this temple into a brothel.
Master Superior, if it's the truth, what would you do?
Shinkai's behavior might cause you some trouble.
I'll make sure he's saying the truth.
A couple is out for a walk
on Atami beach
Kanichi and Omiya...
All women work hard.
They come back from hell.
Is there many of them left?
Yes.
I want to try to free them all.
They must lead a normal life again
and become farmers or waitresses.
I wasn't watchful. I didn't see any of this happen.
It can't be!
What does this Superior want?
He wants to talk to me to close down our district.
We'll be out of job.
He can't evict us so easily.
Boss, he's asking for the impossible. Let's kill him.
We have to remain firm
on this matter.
Boss, a monk from Kannon temple is here.
I don't want to see him. Tell him to leave!
Sir Kito, you seem very upset.
Oh, it's you?
You have a real problem.
We're screwed.
We must face your Superior.
We can't rely on your support anymore.
It's too early to give up.
Changing the Superior would solve the problem, isn't it?
Yes, but...
If we combine your money and your network to my intelligence,
we'll easily be able to get rid of him.
I see...
If I was to replace him,
your district would be saved.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
I followed the rumor, from Chiba to Shizuoka.
It's been 25 years already.
Since when are you here?
5 years.
Just after your disappearance,
my father acknowledged our wedding.
- And... - Don't say more.
It's ancient history.
Chika,
you must have suffered a lot.
Mom, here you are finally.
Kentaro.
I remembered your birthday.
Kogiku will bring you a present.
- You'll see. - Oh...
Are you her son?
My name is Kentaro.
Kentaro?
See you later.
Chika, you told me you had no children.
Why?
Master Superior, I have work to do.
Please forgive me.
Chika!
Excuse me.
The Master Superior sent me to find you.
What?
He asked me
to come to talk to you.
Master Superior, I have some interesting news.
You have a hidden child.
I don't know if you knew it, but your son is a real thug.
I was really surprised.
This story is intolerable.
You might be the Superior of this mother house,
but you abandoned your mistress and your child.
We can't just stand by.
The religious council will study the problem and will make a decision.
Is Ken the son of the Master?
Gyotoku plans to refer it to the religious council.
That's him all over.
Joshin,
leave Ken out of this business.
What's happening to you?
Shinkai!
Open the door and let me in.
Who's there?
It's me.
You? It's late, what do you want?
I wanted to see you.
Guards! Are you here?
Don't yell like that. I got rid of them.
Bring me the girls.
Hurry!
Gyotoku,
you're the one behind this organization.
Kito is offering you girls and you're taking advantage of them.
Then you give them to your customers.
Also, you're organizing disgusting shows.
Do you really think it was a good idea?
You're behaving like a yakuza.
No, you're worse than a yakuza,
even worse than a monster.
You need both women and money.
How dare you judge people and lecture them?
Tell me, Gyotoku.
Master!
I suspected you were here.
Gyotoku,
Tomorrow, I'll take part in the religious council.
I'll go with all those beautiful girls.
Say something, Gyotoku.
Ok. I'll cancel the meeting.
You're understanding, Gyotoku.
I'm keeping the girls for my establishment.
What? The meeting is cancelled?
Ok. I'll take care of it.
Master Superior!
Chika,
I came to apologize.
Even if apologies won't be enough...
I wanted to break my vows
but you disappeared
to prevent me from doing it.
At least I would have liked to know about our child.
Forgive me...
I'm the one who's asking for your forgiveness.
Master Superior...
Chika! Hold on!
Chika...
Hold on.
Call a doctor.
Chika...
Master Superior...
Chika,
if you forgive me,
I'll come to live with you and Kentaro.
I came here to ask you.
To live with us?
I'm ready to give up everything for that.
I really want
to atone for my sin towards you.
Listening...
Listening to these words is enough...
What's happening to you is my fault.
I'm fully responsible.
Chika!
Chika, don't die.
I won't die.
Kentaro...
Ken!
Mom!
Why are you dead?
Talk to me, Mom!
Did she die because of you?
Yes.
Why did she die because of you?
Kentaro, I'm your father.
I'm the one who abandoned you.
Stop it! I don't have a father. No father!
Kentaro!
Stop it! Don't call me like that.
Kentaro,
I'd never dare to ask for your forgiveness.
Do what you want
with me.
You can't understand
what my mother had to face when she gave birth to a baby without a father.
She was treated as the lowest scum.
You can't understand!
Give her back to me. Give me back my mother.
I don't need a father. Give me back my mother!
Go away!
I don't have a father. Go away!
Stop it, Ken.
Leave me alone.
Go away!
Stupid! How dare you treat your father like that?
- He's not my father. - Is that so?
Believe what you want
but his blood runs into your veins.
That's something you can't deny.
Ken, listen to what I'm gonna say.
It's not a sermon.
I'm just like you.
I don't have a father.
My mother was just like yours.
She was a good woman.
She met a womanizer who got her pregnant.
She suffered a lot and died from it.
Me too, I hated
this father I never met.
He was a monster to me.
After that, I strayed from the straight and narrow.
The Superior set me back on the right track
and took care of my education.
Ken, become an adult before hating him.
What's going on?
Are you still mad?
Then hit me.
Imagine I'm your father and hit me hard.
It will cool you down.
Ken, go ahead. Come on!
You're not strong.
You hurt me,
Ken.
Cry.
Cry until you dry your tears.
When you'll be empty,
you'll feel better.
Shinkai...
Ken,
when you'll feel like it,
you'll call him dad.
Ok?
Ken, call him dad, please.
Kentaro...
Dad...
Kentaro!
Dad!
Your mother must be happy.
Shinkai...
- Don't move or I'll shoot. - Come on, girls.
You won't get away like that...
Kaminari!
Bastard!
Thank you very much.
What? Kaminari?
He didn't want to let them take the girls
so they...
That's unfair.
Let's watch over the body.
Go back home and remain calm.
Ok?
Ken? What...
- What do you want? - The boss head.
You're the one who will be killed.
Wait!
Don't kill him yet.
He can be useful.
Bastard...
Go get Gyotoku.
Tell him we'll solve the problem tonight.
Ryotatsu.
Don't leave now. Shinkai will arrive soon.
I refuse to help people like you.
What?
Me and Shinkai must fight face to face.
Since we have the same Superior,
Shinkai is my worst enemy
and I'm his worst enemy.
It's my decision only to choose the right time for our final fight.
I'll be the one deciding.
In this case...
Get lost!
What? Ken disappeared?
Yes, he's nowhere to be found.
For the Superior, from the Kito clan.
We're holding Ken.
Give up your post.
Otherwise, we'll kill him. Yokichi Kito
Master Superior...
Kentaro...
I'll meet them.
Master Superior...
My decision is already taken.
Are you going to resign?
Don't do it.
Don't think only about your son.
Think about
those girls
the thousands people who need your help.
To resign would be to go
against the Buddhist way.
Let me handle it.
You?
Master Superior, I'm a brawler,
I love alcohol, women and gambling. I'm a wicked monk.
I'll leave the temple starting today.
Master Superior, forgive my behavior.
It's the only way to thank you
for everything you did for me.
Shinkai!
Buddha
I lead
A debauched life
People call me
The wicked monk
I know
The stains of sin in this world
But I'm not evil
When I'll die
It will be for a noble cause
Shinkai,
I know where you're heading.
I'll let you go.
If you survive, meet me at the lock
and we'll fight once and for all.
Ok?
Go ahead. Kito clan is waiting for you.
Kito, come here!
Motherfucker!
Kito, show yourself!
Help!
Shinkai!
If you move I'll kill him.
Bastard...
Gyotoku...
Die!
Gyotoku,
it's you
the true wicked monk.
Kito...
Kito,
you will suffer all your life.
Shinkai!
Ken,
go back home, quick.
Your father is waiting for you.
Be nice to him.
Go away.
Go away!
Your mouth is too big.
I can't help it.
- Everything should be changed. - What?
Where is master Shinkai?
I hope he'll be back.
Master!
Master Superior,
may your life
be long and peaceful.
THE END
