The Hunted Page #3

Yeah. That's much better.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Thanks a lot. That's much better.

Thank you.

What does he think I am, a donkey?

I'm gonna head back to the castle.

It was a lovely afternoon.

Excuse me.

That's nice.

Water.

Thank you. That's nice.

Are you crazy?

God, sake. My God!

God.

My God. It's the worst sake.

Thank you.

Well, it's not that bad after all.

He tricked me.

He tricked me

with this cheap homemade sake.

I wish I could speak Japanese...

...so this guy would understand

the meaning of the words:

"I'm not a donkey."

Come on. Okay?

I've been cleaning this five times already.

Stop the dust!

Okay? I'm doing you a favor.

Don't take advantage of me.

Then do it yourself.

I have seen one before.

Are you sure?

This doesn't feel right.

It should be... it's a sword.

Take it easy.

Where's he going?

Apple.

That was great.

Thanks.

It's even better.

Listen.

Can you teach me?

This better be your sister.

Put it down.

I don't like you having pictures

of other girls around.

What's so special about this one?

Put it down.

There, it's down.

You little whore!

You better learn to respect me!

Who are you? What...

Kinjo!

What are you doing here?

How did you get in?

Leave silently.

Don't come back.

Why did you kill Kirina?

I didn't.

You killed her.

Why did you have her killed?

She defied me.

How?

She asked to leave me.

- Why?

- I don't know.

Why?

I bought her in Soapland.

Her mother died at birth.

Her pimp uncle sold her

to people worse than me.

I gave her fine clothes, jewels.

Everything! Expensive things!

Why did you kill her?

She begged me for freedom for years.

Then demanded it, freedom from me,

Boss Nemura!

I told her...

...if she left me, I would kill her.

And?

She left me.

How much blood must I bathe in

to get clean?

It's been three weeks.

Oshima said my sword

would be ready today.

This is the finest sword I've ever made.

A sword is a living being.

It'll cut through anything.

You helped me bring it to life.

What's going on?

We are testing your sword.

You allowed him to touch my sword?

Racine.

Outside.

Don't be so superstitious.

He meant no offense.

Why is he here?

I like the guy.

He is a good student.

Student of what?

Sword.

With my sword?

Are you kidding?

With that sword.

So, you want to study Kenjutsu.

No. We were just fooling around.

- Killing time.

- Time does not die.

Only people.

Come, I'll teach you.

You have much to learn.

Right hand!

In Japan, no left hand.

Please, don't.

Be quiet!

Pick it up.

Didn't that drunk teach you anything?

- Let's find out.

- Attack!

That's all you learned?

Child's play.

What has come over you?

A hundred years ago,

men died for lesser insults.

This is not like you.

Please stop.

Be grateful you live

in a more forgiving time.

The lesson is not over yet.

It is finished.

No, I still have much to learn.

Don't mock me, Racine.

So the old drunk

taught me something after all.

Enough.

I could have killed you 10 times.

Why didn't you?

What?

I'm learning, Takeda.

Finally learning.

Why don't you kill me?

You want to. I can see it in your eyes.

Get this strange thing away from me.

Stop fighting.

I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding.

His English isn't...

He understands English when he wants to.

Ask him why he's so sure

that Kinjo will come on this island.

- I know ninja.

- No, the trail is cold by now.

If Kinjo knew where I was,

he would've showed up long ago.

- Kinjo will come.

- Of course, he will come.

Because you'll tell him I'm here.

That's how Kinjo's men

found us on the train.

You sent word to them.

It's true, isn't it?

Ask him if it's true!

They would find you anyway.

No, not on a train

filled with innocent people.

They were slaughtered

so you could test your skill!

Paul, please! Don't make him angry.

Takeda won't hurt me.

He also won't let me leave.

- I'm your prisoner, right?

- You are free to go.

See how long you live

without me to protect you!

That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

I'm taking the first flight back to New York.

And I'm gonna send Kinjo a postcard.

See how well he does on my turf.

Bring a rope to the gate.

What are you going to do with a rope?

I'll do what I have to do.

Be grateful he isn't dead.

Sorry, Mr. Racine.

I request that you stay.

Request or command?

It will be foolish for you to leave.

You think I don't know what's going on?

Do you really think a bunch of kids

can take on professional assassins?

You're going to get them all killed.

But I'm not gonna let you.

The bait is leaving.

This is between me and Kinjo.

It's between him and me, me!

So, get the hell out of the way!

Not bad for a gaijin.

Very good for gaijin.

Take him away before I kill him!

Tell Kinjo that Racine is here.

He comes tonight

or he won't get another chance.

Takeda?

He wants to challenge you in combat.

If you come alone and defeat him,

Racine will be handed to you.

So anxious to die.

Then send word that you accept?

Of course.

I came to say goodbye.

Help me escape.

Kinjo only wants me.

Everyone is in danger as long as I'm here,

and you know it!

I must stand by my husband...

...even if I die.

You will be safe here. I will see to it.

Mr. Oshima!

Mr. Oshima, wake up!

Listen quickly.

I have to go with Takeda.

You must free Paul before Kinjo comes.

Who's Paul?

You know, your new drinking partner.

Oh, the gaijin.

Please. You must free Paul.

You must!

We finally meet.

Where is Racine?

He is here.

Can you help me?

We're going fishing.

Fish is good with sake.

God, it's gonna take a week.

Show him to me.

Not yet.

Only after you beat me.

- Then I will not fight.

- Wait.

You will not leave this ring alive.

Then kill me.

But I am not Kinjo.

What are you saying?

I am Kinjo's messenger, Sato.

Liar!

Lord Takeda...

...l'm not a warrior.

Please don't hurt me.

Where is Kinjo?

He'll kill me if I tell you.

- I will kill you first.

- Wait!

He's hiding on the boat.

This is heavy. Carry it.

My uncle's a fisherman.

He'll catch a big fish.

- Yeah, in the boat.

- In boat.

Let me get in first.

I don't want to get wet.

Thanks for helping.

Mieko.

I can't leave Mieko.

Forget about Mieko. My uncle is waiting.

I can't keep running away.

It's got to end here one way or another.

If I've learned anything from Kirina...

...it's that you have to accept

your fate with courage.

I'm gonna try.

You go.

You go.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

See you again. Take care of yourself.

But I was going to have you row.

Have a drink on me.

Kinjo! I challenge you.

Idiot samurai.

I don't fight for honor. I fight to win.

Kill him!

I'm sorry.

The Takeda curse

has destroyed everything.

No. You must live.

You must not die.

You must never die.

I'll be waiting for you in hell.

Looking for me?

Left hand. Maybe I got a chance.

Break the sword.

It's a living symbol of the Makato.

Once it is broken...

...they are finished.
