remembers her appearance.

I'm leaving the mountain.

Look after those two.

Counselor!

There are three prospectors in

the hills, five targets in all.

They must all die. Spread the net wide.

- We'll split into three groups.

- What about Osen?

She'll meet us at the hut as planned.

Good.

Wait!

If you go now, you'll be killed.

So that road is ambushed.

You know about them?

If you hurry, you can escape

through that cedar grove.

Why are you helping me?

I don't know what's going to happen to me.

Weren't you working for the clan?

Too many people have seen my face.

Everybody involved is going to be killed...

including that couple.

What? Yamane and his wife?

I'm trembling with fear. Please take me with you.

Please wait for me!

Wait! Please wait!

Osen, you betrayed us!

Stop!

Counselor, we lost the ronin!

In that case, sound the signal!

Wait a second. Are you

still set on killing Master Yuuki?

Isn't this a good opportunity

to call off the vendetta?

Not as long as he's alive. That's the samurai way.

But she can't even go home after what happened!

So what are you going to do?

Go back without her after taking your revenge?

Come on! What is there to think about?

You're her fianc, for God's sake!

Or maybe you think she's damaged goods?

Shut up!

We'll decide everything once

the vendetta's been fulfilled.

This "vendetta" is

starting to sound like an excuse.

Just listen to me!

Prepare yourself!

There's something I must do.

I beg you, just wait until I've done it!

- You knew you would run into us?

- Yes.

What do you need to do?

Come with me.

You'll see.

Yamane!

Why did you come back? They've already...

Arrived?

I see.

Has he taken them to the gold? Where is it?

We have to stop him.

Once they have the gold, they'll kill

you both to cover up the theft!

That can't be.

The clan would kill us?

That's how clans work. I'm proof of that.

Hurry! Your husband's in danger.

You've served well through many years of hardship.

I thank you on behalf of the entire clan.

Now burn down the hut and return home.

I'll go ahead and prepare your welcome.

Hand over that gold! Let's have no trouble!

Counselor, leave this to me.

Those men are ronin hired

by your counselor to kill you.

You and your wife are witnesses.

He plans to kill you to cover it up.

If you kill anyone, kill him!

Jurota!

- Counselor, why?

- Kill him!

Jurota!

Yamane, drop your sword and let him go...

or your wife dies!

Let the counselor go!

Let him go or your wife dies!

This is how you reward them?

Kill him!

Give me that gold!

Wait! We're not connected at all. Why kill me?

No, we are connected...

because I'll see you in hell!

Daizaburo...

our battle is all that remains.

What? Had a change of heart?

I'm not returning to the clan.

Misa says she can't go back either.

We can live anywhere but in the

shadow of Kakegawa Castle.

But I'm the man who killed her father.

No matter where you live,

her hatred for me won't change.

Misa is over there.
