Sonny...

Is he your dog?

Did you shoot this?

You can have it.

Thanks!

What's your name?

- Gon. - No, your name.

Shota.

Shota...?

It's starting to rain.

"Ha/(Ilia na Walla" "77m Mather Who Vanished "

Retire whenever you want.

Your bed's ready in the main hall.

Sorry to inconvenience you.

No, we should thank you.

Pheasant was a treat for us.

Shota really enjoyed himself.

Few people come to this desolate temple.

So, it's just the two of you?

And Gon...

It's pitiful, but it can't be helped.

He has no other releatives.

What is the matter?

Does someone want to kill you?

What?

Five men...after blood.

Go get Shota and hide!

Hurry!

Please escape to Edo with him!

What?

A woman named Oyu works at Iseya, a clothing store.

She is Shota's mother.

His mother?

But the boy thinks his parents died.

Who are you?!

Why don't you identify yourselves?

Kill him!

Hurry!

Shota, stay with the man!

Take care of him!

Alright! We're safe now!

Weren't you scared?

What's wrong...? Shota, what's wrong?!

Just relax.

Call to Gon.

Doctor Gennai, can't you cure him?

I cannot...

We must wait until he heals naturally.

Do you have any idea why they tried to kill him?

No...

But trying to kill a child is unforgivable!

You've always lived at the temple?

Why didn't you shave your head?

What?

"Don't want..."

Don't want to be a priest? I see...

Now you're clean.

That's a cute one.

Gone?

She did work here, but quit three years ago.

Where is she now?

I'm back.

Tsunekichi...

Didn't you see Oyu, once?

I could have been mistaken.

Wait!

Where did you see her? Where is she?!

Tell me!

Want to join us, Otami?

She prefers leftover saké.

Otami-san, someone's asking for you. Don't dawdle.

Imagine, this early...

Without lechers, we couldn't earn a living.

Welcome.

Otami-san?

You're as pretty as they say.

A smooth talker...

That's not necessary. Come here.

I just came to talk.

Sorry I'm such a bad customer, but I'll pay your fees.

Just a talk.

Sorry...

Oyu-san...

This is Shota's paper charm.

I borrowed it from him.

That's what I wanted to talk about.

I had a hard time finding you.

Sir, what's this all about?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Or do you like to tease whores?

You're the wrong woman?

My name is Otami. That's what my parents named me.

You don't know Shota?

You keep talking about this Shota...!

Get this straight. I never had a child.

I know there's a reason for this.

Tell me about it.

Stop it! It gives me the creeps.

The creeps?

I don't want money! Please leave!

I see... Then it can't be helped.

I'll have to do something else.

Late last night... the Oume Temple was attacked.

The poor priest was killed.

My friend saved Shota and brought him to Edo.

But Shota was so scared, he lost his voice.

But this has nothing to do with you!

Sorry to have bothered you!

Good bye.

Where are you going?!

You can't do as you please!

Hurry! Get back!

Did you want something?

You're sharp.

I always was...

Why did you see Otami? You didn't take long...

Are you a bodyguard for the whorehouse?

Answer my question!

Or you'll get hurt...

You're no ordinary man.

Jigen style! Quite skillful...

Lucky for you I came.

He killed the priest, too.

Who is that woman, anyway?

Why didn't she admit that she was Shota's mother?

There's something big behind this.

Something big?

Gohei, how did you know she was the mother?

When she saw this charm.

Even the most selfish mother...

could never forsake her child.

Men, investigate the area.

What about you?

I'm going to the priest's funeral.

His cries to save the boy...

keep ringing in my ears.

With this, you can even hear lovers whispering.

Doctor, what's your real business, anyway?

It'll be a little hot...

How's this?

How much?

No, it's a free promotional gift.

Shall we call Otami-san?

He's here... They're kind of mad.

It wasn't you?

Must I keep telling you?

I'd never betray you.

But only you and I know about the boy.

I'll learn who found out.

I know how hard you've worked.

You sank this low because of me.

When I found out...

you were sending money to the temple.

Stop it. It's all in the past.

Take it easy, or you'll get sick.

Leave Shota to me.

I'll find him and take him where it's safe.

Color prints. Would Otami like one...?

No! Go away!

IMGE N0 GUNDAN II

Thank you.

SANADA CLAN - EDO MANSION

77m woman '5 not hiding him?

Na...

She only heard he was in Edo.

This is getting troublesome, Tanomo.

Indeed... Losing him twice...

Their movements and that powder...

They might be Iga.

Iga?

Would the acting Clan Governor hire Iga...?

No. Sakuma Shulen hasn't made a move.

Then they're the Shadow Warriors...?

Two birds, with one stone.

We've only to dispose of them...

and O'oka will be pleased.

Tanomo. Find out where they are.

Yes, sire.

And don't fail this time!

O'oka...?

He's connected with O'oka Tadamitsu?

I was shocked. Imagine, The Dark Shogun...

Maybe Clan Councillor Takanuki Hyobu is...

One of the 26!

Then like Gohei said, it's a big conspiracy.

We can't waste time.

They'll come looking for Shota.

We've got to learn...

why they want that boy.

Oyu-san... Oyu-san...

Don't worry, I'm a friend.

I'm with Gohei.

There's little time, but I'll say one thing...

The one who informed on Shota-chan...

was Arata Genlaburo.

It's no lie.

He betrayed you for a post with the clan.

Clan samurai in Edo are looking for Shota...

to kill him.

That's not all...

The Yakula here are always watching you.

Take my advice. Do as I say.

All right, Oyu-san?

Stop!

Wanna play tag some more?

Gohei! Come out!

It worked.

Don't say anything.

Change into this. You're too conspicuous.

Come in.

Welcome back. Did it work?

Where's Shota?

Oharu took him for some candy.

Fool!

Bring him back! What were you doing, anyway?!

Hurry!

Fool!

Don't worry. They'll be all right.

He won't know you, will he?

No. I left him when he was a baby.

I casually saw him a few times.

I stayed away after he was three.

Please sit down.

We know Clan Councillor Takanuki's behind this.

But what's that got to do with you?

Shota is Lord Sanata's heir.

Heir?!

It's true.

Lord Sanada's dagger is in the temple.

Seven years ago...

Lord Sanada stopped at a tea-stand while hunting.

When a girl served him tea...

he stayed to rest awhile.

After that one time, I got pregnant.

And you were that girl...

A messenger from the castle came.

I was to kill the baby when it came.

The Sanada Clan already had an heir.

They feared the child would cause problems.

But I...

I wanted...the baby so badly.

You ran away to Oume?

To raise the boy...

you sold yourself?

But that's odd...

Why should he suddenly be in danger, now?

I don't know, either.

Brother...

Shota!

For me?

I'll have one.

Good!

Thank you. Aren't you a good boy?

This is my friend, a very kind lady.

Say hello to her.

Say it very slowly, now...

Hel-lo...

Please...say it.

Just one word!

Say it!

Hello...! Auntie...!

Sonny!

Shota-chan!

You shouldn't do that!

You'll scare the boy!

Shota-chan, let's play in the back.

I'm sorry...

Shota...

Please...give him back to me.

What are you talking about?

Give him back? He's your son!

But not right away.

He's safer here for awhile.

Until we know the situation.

I know! You can stay here, too.

Fortunately, if you work here...

no one will be suspicious.

- But, I couldn't... - Don't worry.

With your care, the boy will speak again.

We'll help all we can, too.

- Thank you! - You shouldn't do that.

Pop!

Shota's gone!

What?!

I just looked away for a second...!

IMGE N0 GUNDAN II

Who are you?!

Stop!

I'm Sanada Clan Acting Governor, Sakuma.

I heard of the tragedy that occurred here.

Are you related to the late priest?

I was with him when it happened.

Search over there!

Shota!

The young lord had just attained manhood...

when he died of a heart ailment.

However, it may have been planned.

We've no proof...

but all evidence indicates poisoning.

Takanuki Hyobu probably ordered it...

to usurp the 100,000 koku Sanada Clan.

Should you be telling a stranger this?

If anything happens to our sickly lord...

Takanuki Hyobu will be the only blood relation.

I see... Then you heard about Shota?

We almost lost him to Takanuki, but you saved him.

Please give the young lord to us.

They're probably the Edo Councillor's men.

I see... You found him!

I sent men to East Ryogoku right away!

Get my palanquin! I'll see for myself.

What's the idea?!

Shota!

I warned you about going out alone!

We were so worried!

But it's a big festival. I can't blame you.

Shota, let's go.

You want a flute?

Let Auntie buy it.

- How much? - 12 mon.

Take Shota!

Find the boy!

Shota-chan...

please listen to me carefully.

They'll find us like this...

but you're small and can hide.

Don't worry.

I'll get help from the men at Yamabiko.

Understand?

I'll take Gon. He might make noise.

Be brave. Don't get caught.

Shota-chan!

There they are!

Stop!

Stop!

What?!

They're not back?

Gohei!

You found Shota?!

Isn't he back?

Was he caught?!

No. I saw them searching.

Where did he go then?

Tell Uta and Tsuru.

Stay here!

IMGE N0 GUNDAN II

Talk!

Where did you hide the boy?!

Too lenient... Torture her more!

Not yet?

He's as good as caught.

- He'd better not escape. - Never!

We heard about a dye shop.

What? A dyeing shop?

There's a dyeing factory and a storehouse.

He's probably around there.

Did you see a suspicious looking child?

Keep out for awhile.

Tell everyone here!

Shota!

Shota...

Gohei!

Only a guard at the Sanada Clan Mansion.

Even Takanuki's out searching.

What?!

Chief!

What's wrong?

Shota...

What?

Chief...

Only he came back.

What's on his paw?

It's dye.

Someone rubbed it on.

Oyu-san!

Koroku, get everyone!

Good work, Genlaburo!

Kill him.

Shota-chan!!

Auntie!

Shota-chan...

Auntie!

Auntie!

Takanuki Hyobu, I'm taking your life.

Dirty Iga! Kill them all!

I'll reward you handsomely!

You...!! Tonight, we'll settle this.

Hyobu...

The fight over the Sanada Clan successorship...

is of no concern to us.

But, because of your greed...

you killed and tried to take an innocent life.

Wretch...

Atone for your sins in hell!

- Oyu-san! - Shota!

Uncle!

Oyu-san! Oyu-san!

Hang on, Oyu-san!

Shota's safe, thanks to you.

It's the Chief. Do you recognile him?

Shota... Please...take care of him.

I promise.

Au ntie!!

Not this...

This one?

This is it!

So, I see...

Takanuki Hyobu was O'oka's follower.

I'll raise the boy.

That wasn't the bargain!

I never promised to hand him over.

- But the clan..! - What about Shota?!

Will being a Daimyo, make him most happy?

After ignoring him for six years...

you suddenly want him, now.

I can't send him into a world...

where men are treated like possessions.

Shota...

Do you want to live with me?

Let's go home.

So, the Shadow Warriors saved a young life.

And the mother who died...

Iefi' them with a new sadness.
