I'm going to kill you, Magobei.

Wait!

It's a trick.

He's going to kill us one after the other.

Then what?

Don't worry,

he can't flee.

We have time on our hands.

We have to help our rescuer.

Yes, but how?

Are you mocking me?

Harukoma's band controls the passage of the village.

What?

Relax!

I'm telling you it's true!

Shoten's band is in the village!

Magobei!

Get out of there!

Out, Magobei!

I'll kill him in a duel, ifyou want.

All right. Show us your skills.

Get away!

Leave him Magobei.

Do you hear?

Magobei, show yourself!

It's time. Get out!

What is it?

Get off!

Magobei!

I'm sorry.

A brawl between bandits annoyed us.

Magobei escaped us.

Your sister is returning this to you. She says she doesn't need it anymore.

I saw her on the passage and took her back to the castle.

She doesn't need it anymore?

Kunai.

Any news from Sado?

A vessel loaded with a ton of gold,

30 chests with 30 bars each,

has sailed and should be in coastal view tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?

And the next vessel?

According to the mine chief,

there won't be any before next autumn.

Good.

Let's go.

I never met a chamberlain.

Your swords.

Enter!

Leave us.

But...

Leave us!

Some tea?

It's not poisoned.

Errant Samurai from my father's time,

I do not know good manners.

Since your father's time?

I envy you.

But I have a nose for money!

So its smell brought you here?

- You're a funny man. - Oh yeah.

But my nose betrayed me. The Sabai are cheap.

They don't pay much.

Bad luck!

I'm sorry.

What would you think

of a well paid work?

Thank you! You're a true chamberlain!

Give me a big mission.

All right.

Tomorrow night, you'll light a big fire on a headland.

It's made ofherbs, it heals very well.

My father taught me that.

When I scratched myself,

he always put me some.

Oriha.

Looks like you're not the same.

That's normal.

When I was without hope,

I returned here, alone,

thinking that my father, my fiancee, and all the villagers

would maybe reappear.

When I left to be an apprentice,

the villagers escorted me to the headland.

I was 13 years old.

It was the last time I saw them.

Oriha...

I am...

You were here?

I was sure that you'd be with her.

Chamberlain!

So?

You were right.

Go, Kunai!

I was asked to light a huge fire at the Samegafuchi village.

To do what?

It means that tonight, a shogun's vessel will pass over there.

This is Samegafuchi.

There is the sea.

Capes on each side like arms.

In the middle,

Samegafuchi Bay, a sea full of reefs.

The greatest cape is called "Man",

the other is called "Woman".

At the bay's entrance, a huge rock.

On "Man",

a fire burns to guide the vessels

taking the western route.

The Shogun's vessel

will pass near the lit cape like that

to avoid the rock.

But how will Tatewaki proceed

to attack the vessel?

5 or 6 fishing boats won't suffice!

But if we move the fire

from "Man" to "Woman"...

Where are the fishermen going?

All the fishermen knows

this ancestral ruse.

I see.

Oriha. Give me a favor.

Go to Samegafuchi on boat.

You know the place well.

But I lost the habit.

She'll never make it!

It'll take too long by road.

Oriha, listen!

The Samegafuchi village

will finish like yours!

Oriha...

I am...

I am...

Rokuzo, here!

Stay here, understood!

We are cornered.

We'll have to ally ourselves.

Sorry, Samon.

I refuse the aid of a Shogun's spy.

Huh?

I knew you'd understand.

I don't need to hide anymore.

I do a dirty work.

Don't kill them!

I want them alive!

Understood?

Chamberlain!

We stopped them.

Magobei is neutralized.

Listen all!

One: When the villagers will bring the wood back,

take them to the beach.

Three oarsmen by boat!

Imprison their family and keep a watch.

Forget no one!

Two:

Take out the fire on "Man"!

Three:

Light a fire on "Woman".

Four:

Bring the boards on sea when the ship will sink.

Two clansmen by boat.

For the villagers,

wait for my orders.

Let no one escape!

Kunai is replacing me.

As you know,

it's essential for the clan's survival.

It's the way of the samurai!

I put my trust in you.

Understood?

Damn spy!

My three years old promise,

I didn't kept it.

Listen, Magobei.

I'll break it again if necessary.

As much as needed.

This world

has forced the samurai to dirty their hands

for survival.

Magobei,

you're a coward.

You fled for fear of soiling yourself.

You're right.

I'm a coward.

Coward for not killing you

on this beach three years ago.

Don't meddle in my affairs.

Take Shino with you

and leave the country peacefully.

Please.

For the Shogun,

the Sabai clan is an unimportant stronghold.

I cannot back down.

Tatewaki!

Same thing for me.

I have to kill you to save the fishermen.

I'm wasting my time with you.

So the crow won't eat you,

die in the snow!

I would have loved battling you.

Wait!

Something's fishy. Go see.

I kept you the best seat on the cape "Woman".

You're too sweet.

I'm not accusing you. You did your job as a spy.

You'll see a nice show.

Before you die, you'll get to see what the shogunate

forces us to do.

Good.

Gather the fishermen on the beach.

And inform Kunai.

I'll be watching.

Wait for my signal.

And light a big fire. Understood?

Hurry up!

It's him!

The fire on "Man" is extinguished.

Fire "Woman" is ready!

Chamberlain.

We only need to wait for the ship.

Hey, the bald!

I'm freezing to death!

Hurry up lighting the fire!

Here!

I see the vessel's light!

It's coming!

Light the fire.

Light the fire!

Light the fire!

No panic!

Chamberlain!

Send the boats.

Chamberlain, look!

I'll have it!

Wait!

Wait!

Villagers, leave your boats!

Lfyou go to the sea,

you will all die!

Go away!

Flee!

Quickly! Flee!

Flee while you can!

Or, you will all vanish!

You'll be slaughtered!

Go away!

Shit! What do we do?

I don't know.

Rokuzo.

Take this barrel.

For what?

Light the fire on "Man".

There!

Burn, burn!

Go extinguish the fire on "Man"!

Quickly!

Put out the fire on "Man"!

Quickly!

Captain!

There's two fire!

What do we do?

Oriha!

Rokuzo!

It's the right fire! It's burning high!

Hissez la voile!

Hoist the sail!

Shino.

Sorry to mistreat you.

Tell Magobei

that I want a one-on-one talk.

Shino.

My brother is waiting for you on the mountain.

- Take the logs. - Logs?

Light a fire.

I can't hold my sword. My fingers are frozen.

And the Sabai clan?

What will it become?

Magobei.

Magobei.

I'm not coming back to Edo.

I'm quitting the spy job.

I feel better.

While you are killing yourselves in the cold, what is the shogunate doing?

It's getting fatter in the heat.

It's a party!

A party?

No, a funeral.

A funeral, for us, samurais.

Here lies Rokugo Takewaki.
