- What the-? - What?

You think he's dead?

I think you're only carrying 35.62% of his weight.

Pick it up.

Teamwork makes the dream

a slightly greater statistical probability!

Someone really ought to rewire those circuits for you.

These are professionals?

They want to kill each other at the slightest provocation,

like little children.

Do little children kill each other a lot in Russia?

Yes.

Hush, now. My lambs have gathered.

Yassan.

Honest people, as a man of the cloth, it is my duty and burden to bring you

this most tragic news.

There was a woman who recently stayed among you.

A singer.

You mean the singer from the bar?

Ichika?

She's been missing. I used to go see her every night.

You sure did.

Saki's mom!

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you,

she has passed on from this mortal plane of sin.

And here lies the soul responsible.

The man you know as Yassan…

- No! - …the Black boatsman,

is a murderer.

No way.

I don't know. I don't think so.

This guy might be crazier than you.

Calculating comparative sanity.

I- I told you we should have never trusted the foreigner.

- Oh! But you trust this foreigner? - Liar!

What?

Yassan isn't a murderer. He has honor.

Would that we were all so innocent.

And he's gonna whup your pale ghost butt.

I have proof of the boatsman's guilt.

The singer's necklace.

She never takes it off.

Until this demonic creature ripped it from her neck

as he strangled the life out of her.

- No way. - It can't be.

- Really? - No.

Ichika's child is still out there in the wilderness, scared and alone.

I humbly beg your assistance in finding her.

So long as they know we're not splitting the reward.

My ministry will provide for her care.

As for the damned soul of the guilty,

I will see that he is brought before God and cleansed.

Is it true? Did you-

Leave here.

Forget me.

Wake him.

I said wake him, not kill him.

I- I did it.

I killed her.

His brain's scrambled worse than the walking scrap heap.

I don't know what you expect us to get out of him.

I expected you to be able to find one little girl.

Careful, Preacher. You do not speak to slaves.

No, I speak to fools, incompetents, and an affront to God and nature!

Target acquired.

I will find the girl.

The trees and birds here speak of her passage.

She can't hide from me.

Go. Take this abomination with you.

Hey, wait, am I the walking scrap heap?

Shh. Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

There, there.

Where is the girl?

I told you.

I don't know.

Perfidy is the blackest of sins, and yet, I confess I am guilty of it myself.

What I told you was not the whole truth.

My forebears' prophecy does not speak only of the child,

but of her power.

The power that grows inside her.

Too quickly for her mortal husk to contain.

It consumes her.

She needs someone to guide her.

To help her fulfill her true purpose.

This world is full of evils.

Dark forces that would seek to corrupt her.

Exploit her.

Destroy her.

I must find the girl first.

Whatever you're gonna do to me…

…do it.

I do nothing.

It is God who guides my hands.

They are but his unworthy instruments.

Where is the girl?

Your god punches like an old woman.

Her scent is fresh. She's here.

If I could just get my infrared mode to work…

That's not right.

Damn it, now everything's in black and white.

Her trail ends right…

…here.

My fruit! My beautiful fruit!

Got you.

Don't touch me. You took my mom away.

You're monsters!

Oh, sweet child, you think that was us?

I got her.

Nowhere to go now.

Okay, one where to go.

Where is she?

In that wagon.

Or, uh, that one.

Or, no, that- No.

- Do you smell anything? - Fish. Only fish.

So, we lost her?

You lost her.

Ooh! My infrared's working.

Let's see if that chastened your tongue.

I can see why you don't have more followers…

…if this is what your sermons are like.

Still taking it easy on me?

When will you accept that I'm not some helpless girl?

Better?

Yes.

Nobunaga has given our orders.

We march to meet the Iga Clan at first light.

I will ride with the main force,

crossing the mountain path to attack Hattori Hanzo from the rear.

Yasuke.

We should rest.

Much depends on tomorrow.

Bet you half your cut he doesn't make it to nightfall.

Two to one odds.

Think I'd just throw my cash away?

Three to one.

Perhaps you will be moved by a different incentive.

I feel nothing.

You will.

The preacher's a mutant.

I mean, it explains a lot.

Now do you feel the gift God has seen fit to bestow upon me?

And this is nothing compared to what the girl will be capable of.

She has the potential to wield the greatest power

this world has known,

and I will see her realize it!

You will tell me where she is,

or you will be the first to burn!

Ow! That hurt. I thought you were supposed to be sick and weak.

Ichiro!

What are you doing here?

Ha! We found you!

It's okay! They're on our side. We decided to team up to find you.

After the man in the white robe said you were missing.

The man in the white robe? Stay away from him. All of you.

He's a bad man.

What do you mean? Yassan is the bad man.

We know what happened, Saki.

What Yassan did to your mom.

- But- - I'll avenge her for you. I swear!

It-It's not Yassan's fault. He protected us. It was-

But if Yassan didn't hurt your mom, who did?

Saki?

Saki?

Ichi!

What did you…?

No, I-I- I didn't. I swear.

What are you-

You know this means the bet is off.

You dare interrupt God's work?

You're wasting time.

The old man knows nothing.

Let's be done with him and complete our business.

- He might already be done with. - Just as well.

Saves me cleaning my knife after.

Forgive me… Natsumaru.

This is the whole of our force?

Hattori Hanzo, slippery as an eel in otter shit.

He comes to surprise us in the pass.

Just as you said he would.

Attack!

You knew that Hanzo would be here.

Because you told him where to be. That pendant you wear.

I saw another with the same symbol on the neck of the Iga general I killed.

So, this is the way of the Onna Bugeisha. Fighting by treachery, without honor.

I was never an Onna Bugeisha.

I am Hattori Hanzo's besshikime.

A warrior in his personal guard.

Yasuke, I acted only out of loyalty to my clan.

My true clan.

A spy and her mark. That's all we've ever been to each other.

Not all.

What do we do with her now?

Bring her to the preacher.

Tell him price stays the same, regardless of damages.

Huh?

Where is the preacher?

The Lord sends his signs even through the lowest of heathens.

Ensure that the boatsman is dead, then dispose of him.

He has been judged and condemned.

Sorry, old man. You had some fight in you.

At last! You've brought her to me.

She brought us.

Huh?

Impressive.

Imagine what you could do with proper instruction.

Come back home with me.

That place will never me my home.

And I'm gonna use them to make sure you can't hurt anyone else. Ever!

I wanted my children to be gifted.

Doesn't every father?

But I have you now.

And I will see you purged of all the devil's influences.

Saki!

Accept the light of the Lord inside you!

No!

How do we get paid now?

Like this.

And these two?

No concern of ours.

Thanks for hesitating to kill me.

If I see you again-

Likewise.

So, a new power arises.

Like a brilliant gold flame.
