Seeking a Haven

He's even followed us here...

This way!

He's coming...

Hide in here.

Where is she?

Where's the woman?

What...

are you going to do to us?

I don't need you.

I'm looking for the woman.

What?

If you're going to hate someone, hate him.

Hate Charles de Guise.

Because of him,

I had to leave the Hong Hua Hui!

Thanks to him, I lost...

everything I had worked for!

Peter!

So she's over there...

Come on out now!

Now, now...

You're a good girl, aren't you?

I found you, Miss Sophie!

Colonel.

Colonel.

Colonel Guise...

Colonel Guise!

Is something wrong?

No. It's nothing.

Nothing at all...

This is all thanks to you.

Our leader Kitaoji thanks you for aiding Kasumi Kenshiro,

from the bottom of his heart.

I don't need any thanks.

Thanks to him, the Qing Bang are revived.

Shanghai is being purified.

We've drawn one step closer to fulfilling our dream.

Then let's have a toast

To our dream...

To Shangri-La.

You're a little ahead of yourselves.

Panda...

Are you a remnant of the Hong Hua Hui?

Pan Guang-Lin won't be able to rule long if his caretaker dies.

We've got bosses stronger than him!

So here's to your death...

Cheers!

Where did those crabs come from...?

Stone crabs, red king crabs...

There are so many types of crab...

But the tastiest one is the fresh, fresh, Shanghai crab...

They're still not getting drunk!

What?

Panda you bastard!

What'd you say, panda man?

Hey!

Gimme back my crabs!

Crabs! Crabs!

Crabs!!!!!

You drunk!

Bastard...

What're ya doin' to my booze?

What was that?

Can't you see this?

I'm a pro hitman!

Well then, I'm a pro drunkard!

Huh?

How was that?

Didn't you recognize me?

No.

Not at all, Kenshiro.

You noticed me once before.

You mean...

You're protecting me?

This is my way of saying thanks for helping Pan and Ye.

Plus, I was bored.

S-so you're Kenshiro...?

To think that you had connections with Mr Kitaoji...

Yeah.

So...

Where are you taking me?

There's someone I'd like you to meet.

She's the person that binds Kitaoji and I.

Who is she?

Well..

In one European nation, a law was passed forbidding interracial marriage.

That made her native land unsafe.

I fear that the world's state of affairs will grow worse,

and a war will break out.

And supposing that country is victorious...

the law will be passed not only in that country,

but throughout Europe as well.

If that happens, many people will lose their homes.

Exactly.

That's why... I worked out this emigration plan.

Therefore, we will take in any people whose country has been changed from war,

regardless of race.

In other words, we will form a new nation.

This is my mission.

But the upper echelons

have chosen to side with the aggressors, and are preparing for an Eastern total war.

In these circumstances,

this plan you've made is a worthless preparation to escape.

Is that so?

My greatest fear is that our country, like Europe, might lose its sovereignty in the war.

Our country will be ruined.

We can't deny that possibility.

But... where will you find this country?

Due to evacuation,

many races have already assembled here in Shanghai.

That's why I have come here.

You're forming a new nation... a Shangri-La?

So that's the dream that binds you with Kitaoji.

What do you want me to do?

I beg of you.

Please protect this woman.

What is this woman to you?

No!

Stop it!

Don't take my baby!

Don't take her!

It's fine.

It's fine, Sophie.

This man is not a bad person.

He won't take your child.

So relax.

Relax.

Guise...

Please listen.

This woman...

is my only sister!

What?

One year ago, when Sophie was escaping our native land,

she came to find me in Shanghai with the man she loved.

But when I came to meet her,

she was nowhere to be found.

I found her in our parents' burnt-down home.

Someone killed her beloved,

and Sophie, pregnant, was in shock.

She lost her memory.

That's right.

Sophie is just like your beloved, Yu-Ling!

She lost her loved ones, and even the memories she had of them.

Fate has been playing a cruel joke on us.

Just like...

Yu-Ling.

Kenshiro, I need your help.

Sophie...

Protect Sophie in my place!

The villain who killed her beloved,

might still come after her...

I am a soldier.

It is my duty to die in battle.

But... Where can Sophie find a safe haven like this?

I beg of you.

Until Kitaoji and I create a Shangri-La, protect Sophie!

I've pressed the pressure point, Boushin. Boushin = Spirit of Oblivion

Sophie will soon regain her memory.

Is that true?

Yeah.

However... even if her memories return,

you're the only one who can heal her heart.

So you must pursue your dream.

So...

you'll help me?

You saved me and my friends.

Now you're...

my...

Peng-You.

Oh yeah!

Hanzhou hits the mark!

It's such a great place!

The food is good too!

This isn't the place to be eating so peacefully!

Now that Carnet's dead,

do you know how hard it was for me to help you escape from the Qing Bangs' Hong Hua Hui hunt?

I suppose you haven't forgotten what we've done for you?

Remember when we helped you out after you attacked Guise's sister last year?

If that gets leaked,

you wont be able to stay in Shanghai, right?

And we won't be able to enjoy this great food!

Anyway, about Guise...

and Yan-Wang...

Do something!

I can't do anything about them!

Indeed, we need to bring our boss back from Hanzhou so he can take over the war against the Qing Bang.

And? This boss...

What is he doing at such a crucial time?

Well...

What's the matter?

Well, it's this...

you know...

Oh... I mean this. A raised pinky refers to sex

Oh, that

Wait... what?!

Well...

Our boss really likes this town's girls..

and he never gets tired of doing them.

That's stupid!

But as of now...

our boss is the only one who can finish them off!

You don't mean... he's going to do all the trannies too?

Well...

See? You've got nothing to say.

Honestly, you guys are so gloomy!

Gloomy, so gloomy!

Hanzhou is like heaven on Earth...

Behold the sunlight that sparkles on the Xi-Hu!

It's so bright!

Boss Zhang Tai-Yan!

I'm glad you've come, my brothers!

Suzhou girls are great! But Hanzhou girls are even better!

Here, I'll show you something great!

What could it be?

I'm already excited! I'm already excited!

A secret medicine from the imperial court, Diamond Vitality Rejuvenation Pills!

With just one pill, your penis will become as hard as steel!

Now...

The women are ready!

You can test them to your heart's content tonight!

Let's go! Try! Try!

Boss!

Ling-Wang's dead!

As expected of the Hong Hua Hui.

Now we just might...

It's working!!!

Behold its might!

That's a fine staff! That's a fine staff!

It's hopeless!

He really is an idiot!

Now, let's get rock hard tonight!

Family business can wait 'till tomorrow!

So long...!

Hold it right there!

You are very irresponsible!

If we don't reclaim Shanghai soon,

it'll be a disaster!

Wait...!

Wait, wait!

Now you listen to me!

Because if you don't,

I won't be able to cooperate with the Hong Hua Hui any longer...!

You're ugly...

Really ugly!

Wh-what?

Boss!

Stop it!

You can't kill him!

If we don't have his guidance, we can't go back to Shanghai

Got it.

So Guise and Yan Wang need to die, right?

What... is this?

I've been slowly losing my interest in Hanzhou girls.

It'll be fun to stretch some different muscles for a change...

With my...

Hokuto Sokaken! Big Dipper Cao Family Fist

Tres bien!

Yu-Ling!

Yu-Ling...

Yu-Ling is alive!

But she's lost her memory, and living an entirely different life.

That's right.

Sophie is just like your beloved, Yu-Ling!

She lost her loved ones, and even the memories she had of them.

Fate has been playing a cruel joke on us.

I see.

This woman is just like Yu-Ling.

Kenshiro!

Yu-Ling!

Kenshiro!

Hey.

This is a hospital.

My apologies.

Hey, nurse...

Yes?

What kinds of dreams do people have...

when they've lost their memories?

Unable to recall those they loved,

are they just dreaming of drifting through darkness?

Or are they...?

That's a difficult question.

It's true that dreams are projections of memories.

But this woman has closed her heart from overwhelming sorrow,

and can't remember anything

I'm sure she's even forgotten the name and face of her beloved.

In that case,

will she find comfort if she opens her heart?

You sure are kind.

I'll come back to check on her later.

Here you go.

See, that's the guy boss.

That's Guise's secretary, Chu Yong-Jin.

Hey, come and take a look!

I got it already!

Now's not the time!

Ready, set, go!

I can't take this anymore.

What do you want ladies?

I got you!

Hey!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

No!

Let's do something fun!

Go on ahead!

Hey, don't be so cold!

Hey there! Welcome!

Y-you're the Hong Hua Hui's...

Hey there.

You must be a good person if you share your lunch with a puppy!

So I've got a favor I need to ask of a good person.

W-why are you asking me?

Didn't the French Concession's Police cut off its ties with you?

Now it's too late!

Hey... Don't be so cold!

You guys provided royalties and guards to the Hong Hua Hui 'till now...

Switching over to the Qing Bang is so mean!

N-n-nonsense!

Whatever you say,

if you're trying to use me to get at Colonel Guise...

then forget it!

My, my...

We have quite the misunderstanding...

My only request is to borrow your brain.

Hokuto Sokaken:

Kushin Datsumei! Kushin Datsumei = Nine Spirits Life Stealer

That's a funny face!

How wonderful!

That's great!

You're now my servant

Guise speaking

Yes, sorry.

Sakuya's gone to pick up Kitaoji...

What?

Is that true, Kenshiro?

That's right.

Yeah.

It's true.

Peter...

Peter?

That's the name...

of her dead lover.

Did she remember the name of her beloved?

A miracle...

Is this a miracle?

I understand

Of course, I'll come right away.

Thank you.

I'm in your debt, Kenshiro

Come in.

Chu?

Perfect timing

I have to leave on urgent business.

Pass that on to anyone who asks.

Yes,

I will do so.

Is there anything else?

Well, this package has come from our homeland...

Leave it on my desk.

Yes.

Hokuto Sokaken: Kushin Datsumei!

You are now my servant!

Now kill him!

Kill Guise!

Kill Guise!

What's wrong?

You're dismissed.

Y-yes...

Chu...

Chu Yong-Jin!

Why did you...?

This is...

C-colonel...

Be... aware...

Of...

Of the man who can manipulate a person's...

brain!

So, he's finally shown himself.

The cornerstone of the Hong Hua Hui.

Hokuto Sokaken..

Zhang Tai-Yan!
