THE SILENT SAMURAI KIICHI HOGEN

PRODUCED BY KATSU PRODUCTION

THE BRIDGE TO HELL

WANTED

DUTCH INTERPRETER

What are you doing?

Are you one of those who help the government to do their job?

Damn bounty hunter.

Blind people are not afraid of snakes.

Welcome.

Excuse me.

Sorry...

Here you go.

Excuse me for speaking to you so bluntly.

I would like to ask you a favor.

WHAT IS THE BUSINESS?

You can not speak?

Then I will.

Why did you remove Shinjiro Miura's wanted sign from the bulletin board?

IS HIM YOUR RELATIVE?

No.

Shinjiro Miura is...

...my enemy.

If the reward from the magistrate's office is what you want,

I'll give you double for giving him to me when you catch him.

Do you agree?

Thank you very much.

Shinjiro Miura is hiding somewhere in the Sakai area.

Stop!

Stop there!

Damn!

What's going on?

Forget it. Let's go.

Sir!

Do you want to cross the bridge that separates our world from hell?

Didn't you see what just happened?

A criminal who did I don't know what just escaped over there.

This is the bridge to hell.

When someone crosses that bridge, someone else will get rid of them there.

Well, from a certain point it is as if the officers have put someone in prison.

Let's do it fast.

Well, how about you?

What are you doing? Move.

The sake will not be necessary.

Why did you come to this place?

When you enter this island,

there's someone to whom you must pay respects even if you're the magistrate.

Damn imbecile!

You will not say anything?

Are you mute or what?

Boss.

He is here.

Sorry to make you come here.

I am the person in charge of this island.

I don't know what you came to do here,

but depending on your answer,

you probably won't be able to get back over that bridge.

You are not an officer.

So I guess you're a bounty hunter, right?

In that case,

you made a big mistake coming here.

Including me, all of us here are part of the

"wanted" list and there is a cash reward for each one.

Look, there's a new one.

Shall we throw him into the river?

He's just a petty thief.

It is enough, free him.

Thanks.

She granted you forgiveness.

Aren't you going to thank her?

Thank you very much!

My name is Tomokichi! Please help me!

What are you going to do?

You are like a hunter surrounded by prey, but prey with fangs.

Boss.

What do you plan to do with this man?

It doesn't seem like it's a lie that he's a bounty hunter.

Shall I leave it to you, Jo?

Yes.

Boss.

Are you sure about this?

It's not something you can handle.

He has the eyes of someone who saw hell.

What's wrong with you?

You can not speak?

Who are you after?

I am Jokichi Odagiri.

Before I came here, I was a bounty hunter like you.

So why did you choose that man?

Dutch interpreter...

Why?

I am...

looking...

for...

...a foreign.

So your goal is not just the reward?

Do you plan to get out of here?

Information about a foreigner...

I don't know what your reasons are,

but it sounds a bit complicated.

Don't cause trouble for the people here.

We are all connected to each other in a strange way.

No matter how strong you are, your body will eventually end up floating in the Horikawa River.

Who was that man?

Wait!

Wait a moment.

The boss put me in charge of him.

Yeah, Jo, but

what if he talks more than he should once he leaves?

Do not worry about it.

This man is mute, he cannot speak.

I will explain to everyone your situation.

Leave.

Sir.

Oh, you can't do that.

That is only played when a stranger crosses the bridge.

Do not know him.

Do not know him.

The officers came looking for him two or three times.

But I don't know him.

But he has a woman in Horie.

The officers are all the time guarding the place, waiting for this guy Shinjiro to show up.

Hey, Sanji, don't you want to go get something to drink?

You're sad that you have to keep an eye on me all the time, aren't you?

I can't do that, I must stay on my toes to keep an eye out for you.

I had to ask the chief for special permission just to come here.

Chief Tatsuzo has good men at his charge.

But do you really think that Shinjiro will contact me?

We don't know that.

Can I go get an omikuji?

Yes, go ahead.

The number 13.

Right away.

Here you go.

Thanks.

BAD LUCK

It came out bad luck.

Of course it wasn't going to come out good luck.

Mrs.

Take a candy.

Thanks.

What's wrong with that child?

Orui!

Chief.

Can you show me that?

I'm going to keep it.

The lady left a letter for you.

There is someone I would like you to meet.

Please come to ImamiyaForest this afternoon at six o'clock.

Yuki.

Sorry for making you come to this place.

Is it him?

Yes.

He's...

Miss Yuki.

I'd rather keep the clan name a secret.

There is something I would like to know.

Why did you choose Miura out of all the people being wanted?

Why are you asking such a stupid question?

He just...

I didn't ask you.

I want to hear it from his own mouth.

But that...

that is something impossible.

He can not talk.

I also want to confirm that.

Why do you want to do that for?

I thought you just wanted to meet him.

Shimazu Satsuma clan.

What does this mean, Mr. Hayato?

Miss Yuki, this man...

...could be an undercover spy for the shogunate.

Ah?

This man promised to hand over

Shinjiro to me if he captured him.

Even if he's not a spy, he's highly unlikely to capture Miura

and would cause a lot of trouble for the clan if he did speak up.

We have to get rid of Miura with our own hands.

Hiring strangers to help us will only cause problems.

If you are only interested in the reward, I beg you to withdraw from the Miura case.

It's all I'll say.

Lord Hayato!

Forgive me, all I wanted was to catch my enemy as soon as possible.

That's why I came to you.

When we manage to catch Miura, Mr. Hayato and I...

Let him go.

It seems that he is very skilled.

I am sorry.

It's okay.

We have to get rid of Shinjiro Miura as soon as possible.

If we get rid of him,

it won't matter if he works for the government or not.

Because there will be no witnesses.

Yes.

Do you know where Miura is hiding?

Yes.

We already have a plan to bring him to us.

Yuki is also a problem for persecuting Miura as her brother's enemy.

How is it going? Still no change?

Yes.

Was there something in that candy?

It was just a candy.

There was also nothing in the package.

How weird.

It was something so flashy to fool us.

So was there something else?

We'll find out.

Excuse me.

Chief.

Do you know the kid who gave you the candy?

No.

She didn't give you anything else, did she?

You saw it, didn't you, chief?

Why did you hide your past from me?

Hey?

When you were a prostitute in Nagasaki, you became close to Shinjiro Miura, didn't you?

That was a long time ago, chief.

Now I'm just the ex-lover of the late Gotoya.

Gotoya used you as bait to lure Shinjiro, right?

That's true.

But Shinjiro wouldn't kill Gotoya for something like that.

And Shinjiro came here the night Gotoya was killed.

Yes.

He came to tell me that he was going to stop smuggling.

And he left right away.

Gotoya was killed on his way home that night.

He was stabbed to death from outside the palanquin.

The carriers said they heard Gotoya say "Shinjiro."

But don't get me wrong, I'm not chasing Miura just because of Gotoya.

It is a fact that Gotoya teamed up with Miura to sell contraband.

What I want to know is where

the merchandise was going and what happened to it.

Shinjiro Miura is a living witness to that.

Gotoya's killer is probably behind all this.

Well, I'd better get going before Sanji gets ideas in his head.

Sir.

I have everything ready for the woman to arrive, but the problem is the man.

Are you sure that Jokichi Odagiri is Miura?

Yes.

He changed his physique, but my eyes do not deceive me.

Then give him this and tell him it's from a woman.

It's a weird bobby pin.

It is used by prostitutes in Nagasaki.

So that damn woman was...?

If he really is Shinjiro, he'll come without doubt.

If all turns out well, I'll give you the other half later.

Hey.

It is you.

Well, come in.

I thought I'd never see you again.

It is a tea substitute.

DO YOU KNOW A MAN CALLED GONZALES?

Did you know who I was from the beginning?

So will you hand me to the police?

The surname Gonzales is common in Spain.

It is comparable to "Taro" or "Jiro" in Japan.

A sword scar?

I think I've heard something like that.

10 years ago...

No, maybe longer ago...

...I heard the Nagasaki magistrate was killed.

Whoever did that was a Spaniard.

You seem to hate him a lot.

But if he is the same man of that incident, he is no longer in Japan.

If they weren't chasing me...

...I could be more helpful to you.

YUKI

Did you meet Yuki?

I feel sorry for her.

His older brother was accused

for all the smuggling.

He was forced to commit seppuku.

YUKI CONSIDERS YOU HER ENEMY.

No, it's a misunderstanding.

I suggested to her brother to run away together.

But he was sure that his sacrifice would save the clan.

The mindset he was taught as a child did not fit the mentality of a former fisherman like me.

BOATHOUSE AT MIDNIGHT. RUI.

Senpachi would never do something like that.

No, I'm sorry, but maybe I can use this to run away to Edo.

It seems you already know that that man is Shinjiro.

Don't you want to capture him anymore?

It's the smartest thing.

What nonsense.

At what point did a bounty hunter become an ally of Jokichi?

Anyway, it's already too late.

Sir.

I will take care of the traitor who sold out one of our people.

Mother.

I...

Mother! I...!

He is my son after all.

Rui!

Rui!

Are you okay Rui?

You too?

The partner code is only applied on the island.

Damn!

Miura.

No matter how hard you try, you will no longer escape.

Ijuin Hayato.

Yuki!

It was this man who forced your brother to cut his stomach.

That was for the sake of the clan.

It was for your own good!

He found a way to smuggle abroad and

Gotoya, your brother and I were in his way.

He wanted to get rid of us because...

we knew that he bought a big number of weapons and ammunition.

Mr. Hayato, is that true?

I'm sorry, but it is just as he says.

Your brother disobeyed the clan order and refused to buy weapons.

You are here.

Damn bastard...

Hold on.

Hold on.

Yuki

If I had listened to you, this would not have happened.

Why do they take so long?

There are only two of them and one is injured.

It's not that easy.

You should know how skilled that mute is.

Hey, sir mute! How long do you plan to hide?

Come out quickly or we'll set the place on fire.

How about that?

Do you want to die burned or by the sword?

No matter what, you will still be backed into a corner.

Why don't they make up your minds and go out?

I'm sorry.

We met by a strange fate, but I didn't think you would be involved in this.

Enough already.

If you go by yourself, you can make your way between all those guys.

Don't worry about us and do what you want.

Anyway, Rui and I were not born to be together in this world,

YOU HAVE TO LIVE.

He's right, my love, you have to live no matter what happens.

You can't lose to that guy!

That was impressive.

Sorry...

Had I survived...

...I would have been more useful to you.

Rui and I...

...we are from poor fishing families in Amakusa.

Now we...

...we can legally be together.

Kiichi Hogen.

People call him "The Silent Samurai"

He lives today by his indescribable past.

His journey will continue until the day he can take revenge on his old enemy, Gonzales.
