Someone, please help me!

Retreat!

Tl-lE SECRET CDI: Tl-lE FEMALE SLJCCESSCDR (Onna Sozokunfn no Hfmftsu)

Uncle, hurry!

Okay, I'm coming.

Mom!

Uncle lnokichi is here!

Uncle, hurry.

I'm sorry that he's always dragging you around.

It's not a problem. I like playing with him.

He wants to watch my puppet show.

Uncle, hurry! - /'m coming!

Thank you very much!

Is this Ogiya, who gives courier service?

I'm accountant Ivlorikawa with the Kakegawa clan.

I'm Ogiya. Thank you for coming over.

As for the 5O ryo from Tanbaya in Osaka...

I received the letter here, but not the money.

Please explain it.

A man named Gohei is on his way over.

He's delayed but will arrive by this evening.

Please rest assured.

Yoshi-bo, he's on this side!

Do you give up?

Novv, that's something!

This is easy. I can show you more tricks with it.

Senkichi, what time is it now?

That's odd. Gohei should be back by now.

Madam Ogiya!

I'm from the police station!

What is it? - One of your young men was killed!

What?

Gohei...

Gohei, what happened?!

Madam! Bad news!

Gohei...

Gohei!

Vvhy?

Gohei!

Why did this happen?

It's not here...

The 5O ryo is missing!

Sasuke!

Be sure to cut it equally so there's no fighting!

I did it. They're all the same size.

Look, it's cut equally

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Not yet! - What is it?

You're lousy at cutting!

It looks great to me.

Look at this one. - They're all the same.

Check this slice out. This is the biggest.

That's too big for you.

Going back to what we were talking about earlier...

lnokichi sure has a big problem on his hands.

He's frequenting that place because he likes the kid.

He's not interested in the kid!

He's obviously after the mother!

I can tell!

The woman has a kid?

He's actually her younger sister's kid.

She found a lover and eloped.

She came home once but died of illness.

That is why Osode is raising him as her son.

You sure know a lot about her.

Inokichi told me about it.

Osode isn't Ogiya's real daughter, though.

It's one of those cases when they adopted a child,

then their real child was born.

What's wrong, lnokichi?

One of Osode's couriers was killed.

Fifty ryo was stolen! - What?

Everyone, please help me...

Who are you? You are not allowed in here.

Leave at once!

Go quickly!

Please let me see the head nun.

She will not see anyone!

Please!

Excuse me, but...!

Head Nun!

Someone was killed here last night!

Did you witness anything?

I want to know the details!

Head Nun!

She doesn't know anything about it.

There are bloodstains on the graves.

Would you know what happened here?

Head Nun!

A courier that works for me was killed.

He might've fled here for help.

Any piece of information will help!

Please tell me what you know!

Head Nun!

I know nothing about it.

I don't know what your status is, but...

Hovv can you say you are a servant of Buddha,

if you will not heed a small plea of a weak person?

Please tell me what you know!

You're being rude!

I'm sorry for being rude...

l\/ly lady...

Hovv can I be a servant of Buddha if I will not

heed a small plea of a weak person?

Osode! What is she doing here?

I'm sorry about what happened...

If there's anything I can do, please let me know.

He was killed brutally

There must be something going on behind the scenes.

Inokichi, I appreciate your concern, but...

I can't get an outsider like you involved.

Please leave us alone!

Chief, a terrible thing happened to the store

that lno-san frequents.

The madam and her cute son are in a bind now.

Please help them out.

What's wrong?

Nothing good happens when you poke your nose into things.

But, chief...!

Han-sen!

What is it?

Stop slacking off.

They're waiting for you to wash their backs down.

Come inside quickly. - Hold it. /'m hungry

You can't fight a battle on an empty stomach.

Will you lend me money? I'll get something to eat first.

Again? - Please.

No way. - Forget it then.

I'll lend you.

Will you lend me a lot?

Is that all?

Another three mon. I have to make a mental note of it.

The interest is...

Han-sen! Will you wash my back down?

If you slack off, we'll report it to the madam!

I don't even have time to eat.

SHADOW WARRIORS III

Gohei...!

Madam! Oshimaya is here!

I'm sorry about what happened...

I came by to pay my condolences.

Senkichi!

Thank you for coming.

I can't help you much, but...

It's important to take care of your contacts.

What a terrible mishap!

I heard that 5O ryo was stolen.

Don't you have to return the stolen money?

Do you want me to lend you the money?

That is why I'm telling you to sell me this business.

Aren't you in a complete bind now?

It's for your own good to sell it to me now,

when we are still talking peacefully.

Hovv long do you think you can last in that condition?

I have Osode!

When Yoshitaro matures, he will take over!

Leave!

I see.

If you insist on being stubborn like this...

I'll have to say things that I don't want to say.

Dad!

Osode.

Please e>

Yoshizaemon, please take care of yourself.

Dad, are you old friends with Oshimaya?

No, we're not.

What are you going to do with that sword?

I'm going to sell it.

To raise the 5O ryo to give to the Kakegawa clan.

You cant's sell that. It belongs to your parents.

You'll lose the only clue to your parents.

My parent is you, who raised me like your ovvn.

I can't let this store close down for Yoshitards sake.

Dad, please let me sell it.

I witnessed the courier being killed here.

A group of four ninja killed him.

Ninja?

They left this behind.

This is a "kunai" weapon for digging...

Used by the Shiranui-to group.

Deliver that 75 ryo from the Mito clan safely,

using the backroads.

Ichisuke, be careful now. - Yes, I will.

I'll be on my way now.

Take extra precaution now.

Yes, I will.

The Shiranui-to is a group of ninja cal/ed the "suppa"

or "seppa" that have long lived in Higo Province.

In the Shimabara uprising, they aided the Satsuma clan.

However, as soon as the uprising was quel/ed,

they were discarded like rags.

Therefore, many of them ended up as thieves.

Let me through!

AQainl

lnokichi...

It's the same method.

Oshimaya must be behind it.

Not once, but twice!

It has to be them!

They're doing everything they can to take over.

They've even resorted to such dirty tactics.

Senkichi! We have no proof.

Even without proof...!

Men, let's storm into Oshimaya.

We're not carrying a sword for decoration!

Senkichi, stop it!

Are you going to defy me?

Everything is going as planned.

Ogiya should be throwing in the towel soon.

I can't wait to see Ogiya Yoshizaemon cry.

You're something else.

Deneimon, thank you for your hard work.

Relax and have a drink.

Seventy-five ryo...

They're over their heads now.

Ogiya will go bankrupt now.

You'll be the owner and we will be your couriers.

Or should I say, your runners?

Don't put it like that.

You can't last long in burglaries.

I called everyone over so that we can work together in one place.

Then eventually all our old Shiranui-to comrades will gather again.

At that time, we can do something big together.

But first, we must take over Ogiya.

A courier can enter anywhere with a license.

As well as obtain secret information.

We can sell those secrets at a high price.

They must be ninja.

SHADOW WARRIORS III

Madam, 75 ryo was stolen from lchisuke!

It takes seven days over and seven days back.

If they don't get the money in 14 days, they will know...

We have to apologize to the Ivlito clan immediately!

We have no other choice!

They won't say forget it, since lchisuke was killed.

What are we going to do?

L'll apologize with my life.

What else can I do?

We know that Oshimaya is behind it.

Let's drag him with us.

No!

I won't allow it!

Are you planning to die alone?

The Ivlito clan will understand! - No, they won't!

Someone will have to commit hara-kiri on their end!

Hovv can we get away with it?

What are we going to do?

Yoshi-bo, come here.

Hey, cheer up.

I'll find their killers and punish them.

Shall we sing?

You start first...

Where is that song from?

I don't know. I learned it from Grandpa.

I see.

Han-sen!

Inokichi!

This is my big brother, Han-sen.

I'm acquainted with that convent.

The head nun felt badly towards you.

Since you've been good to him,

I'll help you out.

Just that, without proof...

You shouldn't storm into Oshimaya.

We are desperate.

Please help us out!

I won't be able to do anything much anyway.

Isn't that right, lnokichi?

Where is that song from?

Higo.

It's a lullaby from ltsuki, Higo Province.

Higo?

Ogiya is from Higo Province too?

Like the Shiranui-to?

I want you to sneak into the magistrate's office.

Dad...

I heard this song a lot when I was a child.

Dad...

Isn't this a song from Higo?

Osode...

I've been hiding something from you.

Will you listen calmly?

In my younger days,

I was a thief working with Oshimaya.

What?

Oshimaya is threatening to report me to the police,

if I don't give this store to him.

He wants our courier license.

I went straight and came out to Edo.

That's when I found you and raised you.

You were carrying that sword with you then.

You are not a thief's daughter!

Osode, please forgive me!

Dad...

It's going to be morning soon!

I found it!

This must be it.

It goes back to 25 years ago.

A money exchanger in Hitoyoshi, Higo Province,

named Tomoeya Juzaemon was attacked by the

Shiranui-to group and robbed of 1,300 ryo.

Juzaemon and his wife were killed in the burglary.

The Shiranui-to are later arrested and exiled.

I see!

They musfve escaped from e>

Dad!

Dad...!

Dad!

Someone...

Senkichi!

Master!

Dad. . . - Master ..

Master!

Your food is here.

I had a son about his age.

What? You had a child?

Yeah...

When he was Yoshi-bds age, he died...

My wife died at that time, too.

Why? What happened?

That, I can tell you...

I haven't told anyone about it.

I see...

Yoshi-bo, come here.

What do you want to eat? The potatoes?

Or the konnyaku (konjak)?

I want to have the same thing as you.

What?

Sakfl©l

What a rascal!

Here, let me pour for you.

Thanks.

I'll drink it.

You're too young for this.

The potatoes are good.

I've got bad news!

Inokichi! Yoshizaemon...

MITO CLAN'S MAIN RESIDENCE

Ogiya Osode.

Yes.

I am steward, Hattori Kanbei.

I'm sorry to hear what happened to Yoshizaemon.

I read his letter of apology.

You need not reimburse us for the money.

Thank you!

Changing the subject...

I want that delivered to Senshu-ya in Osaka.

I am sending a letter with 200 ryo to them.

I shall have the money delivered to you later.

Please have it sent by e>

Do you understand?

Will you animate this doll?

What?

All right.

I'm back!

Yoshitaro!

Yoshitaro!

Senkichi!

Someone!

Yoshitaro!

Senkichi!

Madam...

Senkichi...

Yoshi-bo has been kidnapped by them...

Yoshitaro!

Where are the others?

They got scared of being here.

So they all fled.

Senkichi...

Madam...

I'm sorry...

I let them take him away...

Madam...

Senkichi!

"We have Yoshitaro.

"Come alone tonight with 200 ryo.

"We'll notify you of the time and place later "

Please help me, uncle!

Mom! Help!

This is a fine sword, indeed, but...

The most I can offer you is ten ryo.

Ten ryo? - Yes.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of help.

Inokichi...

I heard about what happened to Yoshi-bo.

He doesn't seem to be at Oshimaya. I'll be sure to find him for you.

Don't do anything reckless now.

Don't make any moves until you hear from me.

Inokichi...

I don't know what to do anymore.

Don't be defeated by this.

Why are you so nice to me?

That's because...

I can't overlook things that upset me.

Do you understand?

You must hang in there, no matter what.

Yes.

SHADOW WARRIORS III

This is the 200 ryo to be sent to Senshu-ya in Osaka.

Make certain that it is delivered now.

Yes, I will.

This is your receipt.

Help!

Mom!

Help!

"Come alone at 5:00 to the miso storehouse by Eitai-bashi."

Help!

Those who remove the wrapping for the entrusted funds

are paraded through town and executed, for any amount.

Osode!

Darn! She tore the wrappings.

I came too late...

The miso storehouse by Eitai-bashi?

She's here!

I want Yoshitaro back!

So you tore the wrappings of the Ivlito clan, after all.

A person's life is more important!

Return him to me now!

A person's life is more important, huh?

Osode, I have something good to tell you.

Your foster parent, Yoshizaemon, used to be one of us 25 years ago.

We robbed a merchant named Tomoeya in Hitoyoshi, Higo, then.

You are Tomoeya's daughter!

That sword belonged to your real father.

You've been living with your enemy for a long time.

Who's the one who killed my two parents?

I did.

You are all demons!

Brutes!

We don't know what got into Yoshizaemon, but...

He ran off, carrying you.

He took the money, too.

Then he turned us in to the police and lived comfortably.

Thanks to him, we went through hell.

We were exiled.

When we escaped five years ago...

We found out that he started a courier business with that money we stole together.

Dad...

Uncle, help me!

Yoshitaro!

I'm here for you, Yoshitaro!

Let's get out of here!

Ouch!

Uncle, help me!

Let me go!

Yoshitaro!

Stop!

Yoshitaro!

Yoshi-bo!

Yoshitaro!

Yoshitaro...

Yoshitaro!

Yoshitaro...

Chief...

lno-san!

Shiranui Deneimon!

Oshimaya Muhei!

I'm Tarao Hanzo!

I can't stand your ways!

I'll kill you all!

Kill him!

My body is iron...

My mind is empty...

Evil shall be destroyed.

Ino-san... For me, you...

Uncle, don't die!

Yoshi-bo...

lno, why did you act on your own?

Why didn't you come to me first?

Chief...

Yoshi-bo reminded me of my own son...

So, I wanted to save him on my ovvn.

Ino-san! - lnokichi/

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Osode, congratulations!

I'm happy for you!

Ogiya Yoshitaro!

Yoshitaro, don't ever forget about lnokichi...
