Come on!

Boss.

The two men we're going after

are Hikozo and Tomegoro, right?

Right.

Stay close to me.

Me?

This is a very important job for me

since the woman is at stake.

I want you to see it close-up,

with your own eyes.

Pay close attention

to my sword stroke.

Very well.

- Where is Jingoro?

- Right here.

It's been a while.

I've missed your voice.

Can you manage to separate

Hikozo and Tomegoro

from their men?

I can do that.

You stay here.

I'll get the fight started.

What's he got up his sleeve?

Men of Doyama!

As you can see,

the situation has changed.

From now on,

I am on Shimozuma's side.

Anyone who wishes to challenge me,

step forward!

Don't underestimate us!

What about it? Anybody?

You, you and you!

What about you?

No?

How about you?

Shame on you!

You're worthless, all of you!

Somebody!

Looks like nobody

wants to fight me.

Shall we call it

Shimozuma's win, then?

Wait, you bastard!

Charge!

What are you doing, men?

Push them back!

You bastard!

Give me that!

Ichi!

All right, we'll leave her to you.

Come with me, quickly!

Can't I have

a drink of water in peace?

Kill them both!

Ichi, this isn't your fight!

Damn it!

You blind bastard!

I run an honest business!

Then why did you try

to kidnap the girl?

No, it wasn't like that.

It was--

Nobody has a worse reputation

around here than you guys.

You too.

What?

Using an innocent woman as bait--

Unscrupulous coward!

None of you deserves to live.

What are you talking about?

Get them!

No need to hurry.

It only makes your time come sooner.

You dare turn on me?

Is that you, Matsu?

Yes.

The fight is over.

Go now.

Where did she go?

Mitsu!

This feels like trouble.

Where could she be?

Ichi!

Mitsu!

They didn't hurt you, did they?

I'm so glad

you got away from them.

- Hisa.

- Hisa?

We've got to get you out of here

right away.

You betrayed us!

Is that you, Jingoro?

I can't let you live either.

- Ichi!

- Matsu.

Take her to the ferry at Matsudo.

This will cover her fare.

A woman shouldn't witness

an ugly scene like this.

Wait a second!

Never mind.

Go on now, hurry!

Get him!

What's taking him so long?

- Do you think he is all right?

- Don't worry.

So you're the one

he was talking about.

What did he say?

Say, why did he give us money

for the ferry?

I hope you make someone

a good wife.
