Just one cup.
I knew I was right about you.
You're a fine woman.
You're going to make a lot of money.
What? Do your feet hurt? Well, you've been walking for about 20 miles since this morning.
I'll fix it up for you.
Let me look at your feet.
No need to hesitate.

More, more! Good! Let's place it over here.
All right.
It's cold, right? It'll be healed in no time.
Alright)!- Give me your other foot.
No! Stop! No! Stop it! There's been a murder! Somebody, come quick! Miss, you have some blood on you.
Monkumatsu, the female slave trader.
Monkumatsu, the female slave trader.
He was from the Kigoroshi clan, right? Yes.
He was a good negotiator and was able to buy girls very cheap from the villagers.
He was the best at his job.
It looks like he's bleeding from his mouth.
His tongue was bit off, and he choked on it.
If I remember correctly, he never laid a finger on the girls he bought She must've been one fine girl.
Go find the girl! She must be around here somewhere.
Also, get in touch with the Kigoroshi clan.
We need to know if we can haul in the girl or not.
Yes, I understand! Out of the way! Excuse me.
I'm an officer of the law! I need to examine your rooms! Sorry about that.
There's been a murder.
We're looking for a female culprit.
Is she in here? She's not here.
Let me examine your room anyway.
Wait.
What are you going to do if she's not here? I said I'll examine the room in the name of the law.
Are you quarreling with me? Even though this is an inn, I paid for this room.
That means I'm the master of this castle, also known as my residence.
I'm sure you dirty officers are ready to pay the price after storming into my castle like this.
That's what I wanted to ask.
You're nothing but a penniless ronin! How dare you talk like that to us? Are you trying to rebel against us by not allowing this room to be examined? Then let me ask you this.
What if we find the female culprit? It is a crime to harbor a criminal.
That's right.
Then let us examine your room.
If she's not here, then you can have my head.
You have no problem with that, right? This is I put him in there for punishment.
I shall take that head of yours.
Miss, you can come out now.
Thank you very much! Go now.
Use the back door through the yard.
You can leave this posting station if you run along the ditch.
Yes.
Thank you very much! Daddy! Each person has their own path.
We have our own path and she has a path that she must travel as well.
Do you understand, Daigoro? This may sound cruel but even if we try to help her, there's really not much we can do.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Daigoro! Yes? Get me the check.
Get me the check.
Yes.
Leaving already? I'll go get it.
I'm really sorry about what happened last night.
What happened to the woman they were after? It looks like they haven't found her yet.
Let me take that for you.
But she won't get away.
Shortly after that incident, about twenty men came from the Kigoroshi clan and searched all over from the highway to the boating docks.
Not a single woman has ever ran away from them.
What a pity.
She'll probably be punished severely after she's caught.
Well, you'll have to excuse me.
Out of the way! Did you see her? Did you see her? No.
Find her! That way! Damn it! Let me stay until my son gets back.
Let me stay until my son gets back.
Yes, that's perfectly fine.
Yes, that's perfectly fine.
Thank you for staying with us.
Please come again.
Miss! Oh my! It's that kid! You brought her back? Come in.
Look! There she is! She made us run all over the place! Hold it! A samurai is staying in this room, you know.
You should be more courteous.
You heard the boss.
Put your swords away! Yes.
I run a female-slave trade and a brothel in Boshu.
My name is Torizo of the Kigoroshi clan.
She was bought by one of my female-slave traders named Monkumatsu.
She's our prostitute.
Please hand her over to us.
Please hand her over to us.
I refuse.
What did you say? My lord.
People refer to us as the 'ones who have forgotten about the eight morals.
' Do you know why? Duty, obedience, loyalty, trust, justice, etiquette, pity, and wisdom.
We completely forgot about all those things.
Basically, we're just a bunch of yakuza who feel no shame.
You'll get nothing by fighting us.
Even if you hand her over to us, it won't tarnish your status as a samurai.
Please let this one go.
Plus she's the one who killed Monkumatsu.
Don't tell me you won't hand her over I said I'm not handing her over.
Why you I don't care what kind of memorial tablet it is.
That's nothing but a chunk of wood for you now.
The samurai pities you since you're carrying around that thing.
Now, come over here.
Omatsu! Get over here! You're beginning to annoy me.
If you don't want to come with us, then both the samurai and his son will have to die.
It is the rule of our red-light district to not cause any trouble for good-natured citizens.
You have to follow that rule as well.
Hey! Get over here right now! I see.
So you're not handing her over to us.
No! I'm taking a modest approach by telling you the current situation.
But you just don't seem to get it.
Risking your life as well as your son's in order to save a prostitute.
Why? This memorial tablet separated this woman from her father.
It's a sad memento tablet.
Her innocent actions reflect the six steps of life in Buddhism.
We as father and son have lived a life that is exactly the opposite of hers.
And if we decide to help her, then it is part of the path that we travel on Kill him! Boss! Do you want to end up dead? Just to get a prostitute back? But we can't just let him have her! My lord.
We have our reputation as a group of outcasts.
We can't just back down.
But then again, I can't let my men die just for a girl.
Let's put it this way.
A prostitute becomes full-fledged after she gets a customer for the very first time.
That is called "defloration," and it brings in a lot of money for us.
She will take care of her duties, and then I will set her free.
What do you say about that? I refuse.
If you don't like that, then there's only one option left.
We'll have to punish her with water torture and puripuri (thrashing).
But this might end up killing her.
Then I'll take her place instead.
What? You're going to take her place? I hear that a companion may take the punishment in place of a sick prostitute.
There's no problem if I take her spot, correct? What if my men try to kill you? Do as you please.
I am ready.
Begin! Okay, now it's time for puripuri.
Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Puripuri! Okay, take a break.
Why you Take him down! My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! Daddy! How is that samurai? Yes, well, his son was desperately trying to untie him.
But this is what that samurai said "I have to keep my word.
Don't untie me until the boss says so.
" "Don't untie me until the boss says so," huh? Yes, and after hearing that his son simply nodded and sat properly by his side.
They're pretty strange.
Like father, like son.
Should I kick them out? We don't see many true samurai these days What? But I guess that man is what they call a true samurai.
Indeed.
He has both skill and guts.
We were torturing him, but we were frightened by his great determination.
Hey, kid! Come back here! Get out of the way, girl! Get out of the way, girl! No! I won't! Prepare to die, "Lone Wolf and Cub.
" He belongs to us.
I can't just let you kill him.
What? If you move, I will put a bullet in your chest.
Go ahead! Let's see who's faster.
Your bullet hitting my chest, or my sword piercing his throat.
I'll count to three.
One! Two! Three! Daddy! I burned your contract.
You're free now.
Go home.
L l We live in a world where the sense of a yakuza's duty and obligation does not apply.
You may go.
Miss! But I owe you a lot of money.
This samurai paid back that money by risking his life.
Maybe I got back more than what you owed me.
Now Go home.
Thank you very much! Daigoro.
Aren't you going with your son? If you're staying behind, then that means you want something more.
My job is not yet complete.
You're no ordinary samurai.
You're looking for something.
That's why you came to this red-light district.
Am I right? Correct.
You're that well-known Assassin named "Lone Wolf and Cub.
" Am I your target? If that is so, I will still fight you, even though I have no chance of winning.
What is the meaning of this? The doll's hair is that of a dead prostitute.
And the doll's kimono is also that of the dead prostitute.
The dead prostitute's grudge possesses the doll.
She wanted me to cut the doll, so that she may rest in peace.
A woman appeared in my dream and asked me to cut the doll.
I must go.
Just what I expected from "Lone Wolf and Cub.
" A real man among the men.
For the first time I saw a real man for the very first time.
For the first time Miss! Thank you.
I will never forget you.
I hope we can see each other again.
I hope we can see each other again.
Yeah.
Hey! The boat is leaving! Daigoro.
Omatsu was bought by a female slave trader, but went back to her father without having to become a prostitute.
But there is no going back for "Lone Wolf and Cub.
" The long road ahead of them is actually the never-ending road to hell.
