"Toei C. Ltd presents" "INFERNO OF TORTURE" "Teruo Yoshida" "Masumi Tachibana" "Shinichiro Hayashi" "Asao Koike" "Directed by Teruo Ishii" "This is it." "This small key has locked away my womanhood." "I'll be a woman again." "What'll I do now?" "What'll I do now?" "Still the same, I see." "I was going to come." "Even if you can't pay up you should've come by" "People who don't pay their debts go to prison." "I'm not lying." "You ask him." "I was forced to serve a man named Samejima as a security for my debt." "It was a strange house." "The hall curved on and on." "There were many peculiar small rooms." "Strange men and women." "What is this place?" "What should I do?" "Instead of explaining, I'll show you." "Come here and look." "You must be a virgin." "I'll remedy that." "It's bound to happen some time." "Let me go." "You're the newcomer." "Why don't you greet us?" "What's the matter?" "Can't you say anything?" "Say something." "You're a queer bird." "I didn't know about such places." "Such places' you call it." "I don't think she's been tattooed yet." "Let's have a look." "Stop it." "I teased her and she ran in here." "She's pretty good." "Stop it." "Don't spoil the merchandise." "If you earn money, you'll live well." "She's pretty good." "Genzo raped the girls without the madam's knowledge." "The same will happen to me." "Water..." "Give me water." "Drink it." "Drink it." "Let Yumi drink it." "Open your mouth, Yumi." "Drink more." "The house with the tattooed whores was like hell." "Any tattoo artist would be fascinated by this skin." "If the Shogun judges my tattoo best I'll succeed Horigoro." "And then Osuzu." "Then my father will marry me to the winner?" "Horitatsu kept after your father." "He made that promise to get rid of him." "I'll ask my father." "Osuzu!" "Father, did you really promise Horitatsu?" "Their ability is the same." "Horitatsu's tattoos are dark and violent." "Hide's are bright and refined." "I know who'll win." "I can't lose." "It's a matter of love and pride." "I've got to win, I will win." "Don't lose your heads." "Don't bother me." "Get out." "Shall I continue?" "It's alright with me." "Bear it a little longer." "He's like a madman." "They say he's the best." "Artists have their quirks." "That's why I tolerate him." "Then he's doing a good job?" "He won't let me see." "Welcome, sir." "I have good news for you." "We have plenty of girls now" "How's that?" "No problem." "I have news about getting more customers." "We'll need all the girls we can get." "Why don't they undress?" "Get a lot of women like that." "Girls with tattoos are expensive." "Is that okay?" "If they're good, I'll pay any price." "Once you've seen a woman strip herself naked you can't help but wanting her." "You like that?" "Not now." "Let's get going." "You have a nice tattoo." "You should walk around showing it to the public." "Well, now we will get to work." "Don't do that." "It hurts." "I want to touch your stomach again." "That's fine with me." "Really?" "This is the best belly in the world." "How lovely." "Akiko!" "Why don't you continue?" "I love you." "They've come." "Come out for questioning." "You want to be free?" "Don't ask me that." "I'm going to get you out." "Do you really mean that?" "If you do as I say." "I will." "Then brake jail." "Break jail?" "There are ten women I'd like to question secretly." "Get them out." "Answer me." "It's too risky." "I've told you my secret." "I'll never talk." "I didn't hear anything." "You'll die." "Don't." "I know it's unreasonable." "But I finish what I start." "You'll die because you resisted interrogation." "Wait, please." "I'll do as you say." "Please put away your sword." "Then you agree?" "Which ones?" "Numbers eight..." "...ten twenty-four twenty-six..." "Number fifteen number twenty-one number eighteen..." "I'll be lonely all along." "Number nineteen." "We'll be together." "Aren't we fortunate?" "It's tonight." "Are you ready?" "But can we really make it?" "Everything's set perfectly." "If there are any cowards..." "Speak up." "Well, how about it?" "Anyone who opposes us, will die." "It's finished." "You like it, don't you?" "You understand?" "Of course I do." "It's the ability of your eyes and hands working together." "I now understand how beautiful your work is." "You've borne it well." "Your skin mustn't be spoiled." "This is a technique I took from my master and developed." "Let's go." "Where to?" "Get dressed." "The one who'll see this first, is you." "You and I will see this before the Shogun does." "Living with this tattoo artist every day became a consolation." "Why are you crying?" "At first it was painful, and I was frightened." "But now, being along with you..." "Please take me away." "I'll do anything for you." "Horihide, may I see it now?" "No, you can't see it yet." "Must be hard bearing torture every day." "Have you become one of Oryu's lesbians?" "Horihide's gone and this horrible Genzo will rape me." "Any man or even any woman would be attracted to you." "Be quiet." "I'll show you what really pleases a woman." "I made you a woman." "This is how it should be." "Genzo!" "Please forgive me." "I'll have you castrated for this." "Get back." "Please let my sister go." "Punish me instead of her." "Torturing your body is not enough." "Watch this." "How does your brother look?" "Shall I fix it so you'll never see him again?" "Yuki." "Stop it." "Please, stop it." "How pitiful from one who's tortured girls himself." "Who made me that way?" "I saved your life once and now you owe me a life." "It doesn't matter if it's yours or your sister's." "You bitch." "I see." "I'll repay that right now." "All who oppose me will sufer." "You'll never have another man again." "Stand up." "Don't." "Stop it." "You're not a woman when this is locked." "As a woman you're useless now" "Open up." "You can't exploit her anymore now" "Then Genzo is dead?" "It just happened." "You made a big mistake." "How will I cover it up?" "He died of illness." "We'll give him a funeral." "No one will know once he's buried." "I want to talk to you." "Roll up your sleeves." "This shows you're an ex-con from Tosa." "This one is from Kumamoto." "I'm from Sendai." "Without these tattoos you could overdone." "A tattoo over cour mark would remover your punishment." "Is such a thing possible?" "Famous tattoo artists are ready in Edo." "Your taking care of us makes me feel funny." "That's right." "What can we do to thank you?" "I want you to work as geisha for two years." "Geisha?" "You'll have all high class customers." "How wonderful." "It tickles." "Do it firmly." "It hurts." "Stop." "What a strange design?" "There's a better one." "I see." "I'll tattoo a masterpiece but I must have suitable skin." "We've given you the best girls available and you're still not satisfied." "I'd like to talk in another place." "Why don't you take me?" "How about you, baby?" "Why would you tattoo someone like me?" "I want fair white skin like yours." "Look how beautiful it is." "I want the Shogun to choose my work." "Please." "Wait a moment, please." "I'll show you someone who is much better than I." "A very special woman." "Tatsukishi is distraught because he can't find suitable skin." "If he doesn't, you will win for sure." "You mean I'll lose if Tatsu finds good skin." "That's not what I meant." "It was a stupid thing to say." "I'm sorry." "No, I'm the one to be sorry." "Please, smile." "Horihide." "Don't worry." "I'll be sure to win." "They've covered up my work." "Forgive me." "It happened after you left." "Oryu forced it on me." "How's this skin?" "Show her to the Shogun and you'll win." "Wait." "Come here." "Let me see it." "Who did this one?" "It's called 'The Tortures of Hell'." "It's an incomparable masterpiece." "Please wait." "Excuse me." "What impudence." "Nevertheless, she hasn't revealed anything." "What are you saying?" "If she drinks the sake you'll see." "Is there some trick?" "Give her saké." "Damn it." "A double tattoo." "Turn around." "Two competitors on one woman's skin." "The designs and colors are good." "It's a tie." "It's good we entered Yumi." "Big shots come for her now." "Horitatsu's design was superb." "There's something the matter with her." "I wonder if she's pregnant." "There's no way she could be pregnant." "It's impossible that she got hold of the key." "She'll never give birth to a baby." "I want the key." "Maybe it's better this way." "The child I'm carrying and me can escape our fate." "For defiling the dead you are sentenced to death by fire." "Throw the oil on the water." "Throw the torches." "A dirty tattoo done by a prisoner" "Who pinned Hirigoro's murder on me?" "I'll escape no matter what." "How can I get on the other side?" "Osuzu!" "Osuzu!" "Hide..." "I only belong to you." "I swear I'll never let anyone but you touch me." "I can testify that you killed Horigoro." "I have proof prepared that you did it." "You killed him out of envy and frustrated love for Osuzu." "I can just as easily make it look like Horihide did it." "You have Osuzu also." "Out of the way." "Hide, wait." "I'm innocent." "I'll return." "On the 8th day of the Fukagawa Myojin Festival." "Think of this as me." "Take this with you to Kanazawa." "On the 8th day of the Fukagawa Myojin Festival." "Think of this as me." "I'll let you see Horihide." "The ship's pulling out." "Hide, forgive me." "My skin has been ruined." "What are you doing?" "Don't get smart, sister." "What are you saying?" "Looking for trouble?" "You should be ashamed of yourselves." "If you want to see something nice, look at this." "Don't you know who I am?" "Who are you to talk to me?" "I've killed and robbed and I served 8 years." "I'll show you who's the boss here." "So, come on." "I've never heard of you." "I've been screwing since I was three." "Once I've pleased sixty men in a row" "I'm Omatsu." "I'm Okura." "Hairy chested, fat and middle aged." "I'll show you what I've got." "Look, at my wonderful tits." "Shut up." "Cut it out." "Stop it." "You're bodies are important." "You can't scar them." "Get along together." "You'll work together in Nagasaki." "Let's go back." "Nagasaki." "I've orders for tattooed girls from Hong Kong, Macao and Portugal." "In my country tattooed virgins are in demand." "We're having virgins tattooed now" "If I can't meet my brother I'll die." "Don't say that." "But we can't go back to Edo." "I was forced to be tattooed" "They're going to sell us all to foreigners." "I suspected something like that." "We don't have to take this." "You'd better do as you're told." "You agreed to work for two years." "What are you trying to pull?" "I heard we'd have high class customers." "We're worth more than foreigners can pay." "This, my beauties, is a house of horrors." "Horitatsu is a fool." "He thinks this is what he's working on." "Osuzu belongs to me." "Osuzu." "Forget about Hide." "No, he'll come back." "If it isn't me, it'll be some foreigner." "Horitatsu what are you doing?" "I won't tattoo anymore." "I'm on to you." "Get to work on Osuzu's tattoo." "I refuse." "You can't." "Try and blackmail me, if you like." "I say you killed Horigoro." "That's rich, coming from you." "Who do you think they'd believe?" "You killed my father?" "Horitatsu helped us frame Horihide for it." "Is that true?" "Is that really true?" "What have you got to say for yourself?" "He wanted revenge on Horihide because of you." "You were taken in by him." "Now it's turn." "Now you'll feel the needle yourself." "I can't stand it, I must escape." "I have no time for you." "What are you doing?" "Go after them." "Are you coming?" "Let's go." "Yuki." "Go on without me." "Don't be silly." "I can't move." "Go to the Fukagawa Myojin Festival." "A man named Horihide will be waiting for me there." "I have arranged to meet him there." "You must give this to him." "Don't leave me." "We can't escape together." "Don't give up." "I'll act as a decoy." "Alright?" "You're new here." "Come with me." "No, thank you." "Wait." "The man you're with is a terrible man." "What do you mean?" "Nothing to be afraid of." "I'll wash you." "Do as I say and you'll live comfortably" "Where did you find her?" "Let's see the face." "She's blind." "You always bring sick ones." "Take a look at her skin." "She's no ordinary piece of merchandise." "You won't short-change me on her." "I can make good money on her." "She's worth at least four ryo." "I might even get five ryo for her." "Don't push your luck." "You don't have to take her." "Clayton will give me ten ryo for her" "Get out of here." "Master!" "Master!" "Will you do a job for me?" "Forget it." "I'll pay you well." "I don't tattoo men." "I know that." "She's a young virgin." "Look at her skin." "A tattoo will look good on her" "Planning to sell her to Clayton?" "You know how miserable she'd end up?" "Who are you to preach?" "You're an escaped convict." "Everyone here has a past." "I'll live as I like." "Are you working again?" "Please, give me a shot." "The sooner you finish, the sooner you'll get your shot." "I can't stand the suffering." "How pitiful." "Edo's most famous tattoo artist in such a state." "Please give me dope." "It can't be helped." "This is all you get for now." "When the job is finished you'll get all you want." "I've been tattooed at last." "Hide, what'll I do now?" "Don't stay here." "Run away from that man." "Go home." "I don't care anymore." "What's this?" "Where did you get it?" "Please give it back to me." "Do you know Osuzu?" "Then you're Horihide." "Osuzu." "Osuzu, I won't let you go again." "Hide." "Osuzu." "It isn't a dream, is it?" "You came back like you promised." "Osuzu." "But it's too late." "What happened?" "I'm ruined." "Osuzu." "My father was murdered." "Samejima and Oryu killed him." "And they brought me here." "Samejima and Oryu?" "Horitatsu helped them to frame you." "He did?" "And he ruined my skin." "He did?" "I'm sorry I ended up this way" "I'll kill those who did this to you." "No, you aren't that kind of person." "You couldn't do it." "Osuzu." "Osuzu, what's wrong?" "Osuzu..." "Hide, hold me tightly." "Osuzu, don't die." "Osuzu!" "Osuzu!" "Osuzu..." "I'll swear I'll revenge you." "I'll start with Clayton's daughter." "I'll show you how Osuzu suffered." "Horitatsu." "I have another job for you." "I'm not your slave." "Don't you want to compete with Hide?" "Hide?" "Here's his letter." "He broke prison and came here." "I saw Osuzu's tattoo." "I'll tattoo an image you've never seen before." "Where's Hide?" "I want to see who's better." "What's he up to?" "Where's Horitatsu?" "Capture that madman." "Let go of the girl and your life will be spared." "I'll pay you back for your treachery" "Osuzu was to be my wife." "Her pain was mine." "You'll die." "Die and go to hell." "Horitatsu, this is it." "Fly." "Turn around." "I lost." "Clayton, you're rotten." "So are Samejima and Oryu." "All the women you sold are miserable." "Careful." "I didn't do anything to Osuzu." "These people were responsible." "It's a lie." "He wanted her for himself." "Shut up." "You're all the same." "I'll pay you all back." "Don't move." "If anybody moves, Honey will die." "I didn't know anything." "Osuzu's anguish is in this tattoo." "It's nothing compared to what you'll get." "I didn't know." "Hide can't die." "I'll make you suffer more than the suffering you've caused." "Horitatsu." "I'm sorry." "I've made a stupid mistake." "I ruined your life and Osuzu's." "Hide, I think Horigoro would have wanted you to become his successor." "Horitatsu!" "I'll send them both to hell." "Hide, you mustn't." "You're not that kind of person." "You couldn't do it." "This is Dejima." "Do you plan to arrest me here?" "Hold your tongue." "Honey, get out." "Don't mind me." "Forgive me, I was mad." "There's no hope for us anymore." "Farewell." "Oryu and Clayton sold tattooed girls abroad." "She was executed at Matazaki." "The end"
