[00:07] Sumie
    Hang in there. Be strong.
[00:10] Yukino
    Sumie-chan...
[00:21] Sumie
    Everyone is dying of
    the slightest of wounds.
[00:25] Yukino
    They are too worn down. We are
    lacking in everything: food, medicine...
[00:36] Sumie
    Yukino-san, I'm going to
    leave the castle to get food.
[00:40] Yukino
    A girl by herself? Don't talk nonsense.
     There are enemies everywhere.
[00:45] Sumie
    But...
[00:47] Sumie
    Someone has to.
[00:50] Yukino
    All right.
[00:52] Yukino
    We'll find someone who knows
     how to use firearms.

[01:13] Osada
    Hey, mister.
[01:16] Osada
    Wanna have some fun?
[01:18] Kawaguchi
    What a coincidence.
[01:20] Kawaguchi
    I was looking for someone
     to have some fun with.
[02:58] Kamejirou
    No luck today, either, huh?
[03:00] Shizuma
    It's fine. I'll just ask every
    geisha in town until we find her.
[03:05] Shizuma
    Sumie and I are the only
    ones who can fold these.
[03:10] Shizuma
    Take this rabbit as a protective charm.
    It will help you outrun arrows and bullets.
[03:17] Shizuma
    What's so funny?
[03:19] Shizuma
    I folded one, too.
[03:24] Shizuma
    We both had the same idea, huh?
[03:30] Kamejirou
    Anyway, I should be getting back to work.
[03:33] Shizuma
    All right. Thanks for helping me out.
[03:39] Comedian
    Led by Etou Shinpei, 3,000 disaffected men
    of the warrior class took up arms in Saga.
[03:46] Comedian
    They appeared to have the upper hand
     at first, but that was short-lived.
[03:52] Comedian
    Ohkubo himself went to Saga
    and foiled their dastardly plans.
[03:56] Comedian
    Etou Shinpei, realizing he was defeated,
     skedaddled right on out of there.
[04:03] Comedian
    Rumors abound that someone else
     masterminded the rebellion.
[04:07] Comedian
    Was it an oni? A tengu?
    An evil spirit? Just who was it?
[04:12] Comedian
    And that's time for me. Thank you.
[04:16] Koume
    They say storytellers always act as
    if they witnessed events firsthand.
[04:20] Hinazuru
    They also say reality is often
    every bit as strange as fiction.
[04:36] Shizuma
    Whoopsies.
[04:37] Shizuma
    Are you all right, young lady?
[04:50] Shizuma
    Here.
[04:51] Child
    Thank you!
[04:55] Shizuma
    What's that?
[04:57] Otetsu
    Tell me where Osada is!
[05:01] Osanai
    Stop that, old woman!
[05:03] Shizuma
    Osanai-san, what's going on?
[05:05] Otetsu
    What do all you patrolmen want?
[05:07] Otetsu
    Stay out of this!
[05:10] Shizuma
    Sheesh. What did the second-hand
     clothes seller do to you?
[05:13] Otetsu
    I lent a woman money and this
     bastard knows where she is.
[05:16] Otetsu
    I'm demanding he tells me.
[05:19] Rokuzo
    I swear I don't know!
[05:21] Otetsu
    Don't lie to me!
[05:22] Otetsu
    This is Osada's obi.
[05:24] Otetsu
    Where did you find it?!
[05:26] Osanai
    Calm down, old woman!
[05:28] Otetsu
    I want repaying before Osada
     spends it all! Tell me where she is!
[05:33] Osanai
    Okay, okay! Just calm down!
[05:35] Osanai
    What is it, Origasa?
[05:40] Rokuzo
    You washed the blood off?
[05:46] Shizuma
    I'm also curious to hear more.
[05:59] Shizuma
    If the owners of these are dead, that's more
     victims than you can count on one hand.
[06:03] Osanai
    Foul murderer! You're under arrest!
[06:06] Rokuzo
    It wasn't me! It was the
    hunting club that killed them all!
[06:19] Shizuma
    He's still alive. Hospital, quick!
[06:21] Osanani
    Right!

    Police Dept.
[06:23] Tanba
    Chief Inspector Tanba reporting.
[06:25] Kawaji
    Who is this man with you?
[06:27] Tanba
    A pickpocket called Senpachi, who escaped
     from the police station in Asakusa
[06:32] Tanba
    in the chaos of the conflict.
[06:33] Kawaji
    Why did you bring him here?
[06:35] Tanba
    There is something you should hear,
    Chief Superintendent.
[06:39] Tanba
    Tell him what you told me.
[06:41] Senpachi
    Gonna let me off the hook if I do?
[06:44] Tanba
    Just hurry up and tell him!
[06:47] Senpachi
    I know the identity of the man who
    chopped off the arms of those Chindai.
[06:54] Kawaji
    You mean the yakuza known
     as Shuragami Kyoushirou?
[06:58] Kawaji
    What of him?
[06:59] Senpachi
    He is Ikegami Souichirou. He was
    high up in the former Shounai-han Clan.
[07:04] Kawaji
    Who?
[07:05] Senpachi
    You don't know the name?
[07:07] Senpachi
    Never heard the rumors about
    what the scheming Ikegami Souichirou
[07:11] Senpachi
    and the Shounai-han Clan tried to do to
    help the rebel army win the Boshin War?
[07:20] Dario
    It looks like we've earned
    Moriya's trust after the mess we made.
[07:26] Kyoushirou
    They say they want me as
    a bodyguard for the clan.
[07:30] Dario
    Still, I can't help wondering
    why the police just let you go.
[07:34] Dario
    We've caused a ton of trouble.
[07:36] Kyoushirou
    It seems they're pretending
    the revolt never happened.
[07:40] Kyoushirou
    It would be a national disgrace, after all.
[07:43] Attendant
    Bullseye!
[07:46] Kyoushirou
    I'd say it's time to fire the second arrow.
[07:49] Dario
    Finally!
[07:51] Dario
    I'm sure Guen will be ecstatic, too.

[07:54] Dario
    Old Genjou's been waiting so long for it,
    he's almost a shriveled corpse.
[07:58] Dario
    We can finally let loose.
[08:06] Parks
    Where did Etou Shinpei
    end up after fleeing Saga?
[08:10] Senri
    He's likely in Satsuma or Tosa, trying to
    start another revolt of former samurai.
[08:16] Parks
    Will there be another one?
[08:18] Senri
    It's hard to imagine anyone would listen
     to him after he left his own for dead.
[08:25] Parks
    True.
[08:27] Parks
    Continue your information gathering.
[08:31] Senri
    Leave it to me.
[08:35] Shizuma
    There's no way one person could
    have killed this many people.
[08:40] Midorikawa
    So it was a group, then.
    An organized operation.
[08:44] Osanai
    Thinking about it, that second-hand clothes
     seller, Rokuzou, mentioned something...
[08:48] Shizuma
    About a "hunting club"
    or something, wasn't it?
[08:50] Attendant
    A hunting club?
[08:54] Shizuma
    Does it ring a bell?
[08:56] Tanba
    A few years ago, a man was arrested
    for abducting and killing people.
[09:01] Tanba
    He mentioned a "hunting club," too.
[09:04] Osanai
    What happened to his henchmen?
[09:06] Tanba
    They committed suicide in prison.
[09:08] Tanba
    There was a suspicion that
    it was organized crime,
[09:11] Tanba
    but the investigation was closed before
    they could even look for accomplices.
[09:15] Shizuma
    So sloppy.
[09:16] Tanba
    The Metropolitan PD
    didn't exist at the time.
[09:19] Tanba
    We're lucky we have any
    documentation at all.
[09:22] Tanba
    We'll have to wait until Rokuzou
    wakes up to find out the truth.
[09:26] Shizuma
    We don't have time for that.
[09:29] Shizuma
    If this was organized,
    his accomplices are still out there.
[09:32] Shizuma
    Let's check out who had
    dealings with the old man.
[09:35] Osanai
    Right.
[09:36] Osanai
    According to neighbors, Rokuzou frequented
     a large shop in Ginza called Kuraya.
[09:43] Shizuma
    This shop looks quite fancy.
[09:46] Osanai
    The owner, Kuraya Zenbei,
    is a former samurai from Choushuu.
[09:51] Osanai
    He's got friends high up in the government.
[09:55] Osanai
    Apparently, he's been using those
    connections to expand his business here.
[09:59] Kawaguchi
    What may I do for you?
[10:02] Osanai
    We'd like to ask you about a man named
    Rokuzou, who comes here regularly.
[10:07] Kawaguchi
    Rokuzou?
[10:08] Kawaguchi
    Ah, the man who collects our waste.
[10:12] Kawaguchi
    What about him?
[10:14] Shizuma
    Is there anyone here who knows him well?
[10:16] Kuraya
    Since when has my shop become
    a gathering place for the police?
[10:20] Kawaguchi
    Welcome back, Kuraya-sama.
[10:23] Osanai
    May we ask for your cooperation
    in our investigation?
[10:26] Kuraya
    Don't speak in my shop without my
     permission. Don't even breathe.
[10:30] Kuraya
    You'll stink the place up with your breath.
[10:33] Shizuma
    What was that?
[10:35] Kuraya
    Get lost before I file a complaint
     with the Metropolitan PD.
[10:38] Osanai
    E-Excuse us!
[10:43] Kawaguchi
    It seems Rokuzou has been captured.
[10:46] Kuraya
    Dispose of him before it becomes a problem.
[10:53] Hinazuru
    What is it, sir?
[10:55] Hooded man
    We have an opportunity to get rid of
     a crook and a lowlife with one blow.
[10:58] Hinazuru
    Who?
[10:59] Hooded man
    The crook is Kido Takayoshi, one of the
     Three Great Nobles of the Restoration.
[11:03] Hinazuru
    And the lowlife?
[11:05] Hooded man
    Kuraya Zenbei, a government merchant...
[11:08] Hooded man
    who formerly went by the
    name of Kuramoto Masaomi.
[11:19] Hinazuru
    Hiramatsu-sama...
[11:22] Hooded man
    You're welcome to take your revenge.
[11:35] Koume
    You look scary, Hinazuru-neesan.
[11:38] Hinazuru
    Koume-chan.
[11:40] Koume
    Are you going to kill someone again?
[11:43] Hinazuru
    One can be too observant sometimes.
[11:46] Koume
    I'll go with you.
[11:49] Hinazuru
    I keep telling you, there is no reason for
    you to get involved in my quest for revenge.
[11:54] Koume
    I would have died long ago
    if you hadn't taken me in.
[11:59] Koume
    I'll always be with you.

    Kido Takayoshi
[12:17] Kuraya
    Needs more salt.
[12:30] Kido
    So what was it you wanted?
[12:33] Kuraya
    I want you to call off
    a police investigation.
[12:35] Kuraya
    You're in charge while Ohkubo is away,
    so I imagine it won't be too much trouble.
[12:39] Kido
    Don't be ridiculous. I may be a councilman,
    but I can't bend the law to my will.
[12:43] Kido
    What is it you want to stop, exactly?
[12:45] Kuraya
    The investigation into the hunting club.
[12:48] Kido
    I saw that in the Metropolitan PD report...
    Something about unhinged serial killers?
[12:54] Kuraya
    "Unhinged killers"? How rude.
    We prefer to be called "hunters."
[12:58] Kido
    Are you telling me...
[13:03] Kuraya
    I can't shake the habits
    I picked up during the war.
[13:06] Kido
    Do you really think you'll get away
     with that in this new Meiji Era world?!
[13:11] Kido
    What's this?
[13:17] Kido
    A lot of familiar names.
[13:19] Kido
    Are they all from Choushuu?
[13:21] Kuraya
    That's the hunting club's roster.
[13:24] Kuraya
    It's an exhaustive list of when
     they killed, and how many.
[13:27] Kido
    What?!
[13:29] Kuraya
    When I get arrested,
    I won't be going down alone.
[13:32] Kuraya
    I'll be taking my old friends in their
    high government positions with me.
[13:38] Kido
    Is that a threat?
[13:39] Kuraya
    It's a request!
[13:41] Kuraya
    We fought together in the last days
    of the Edo period, my friend.
[13:46] Kido
    All right.
[13:52] Kuraya
    Then, let us toast.
[13:57] Hinazuru
    Allow me.
[14:15] Hinazuru
    Here you are, sir.

    Councilman Kido!
[14:32] Kido
    What is it?
[14:34] A
    We've received word that Etou Shinpei
    was arrested while making his escape!
[14:38] Kido
    Is this true?

[15:41] Osanai
    So you're awake, huh?
[15:43] Osanai
    Who's the leader of the hunting club?!
[15:46] Osanai
    Give me the names of those in charge!
[15:48] Rokuzo
    Ow! Ow!
[15:49] Rokuzo
    I'll talk! I'll talk!
[15:53] Rokuzo
    The leader is Kuraya Zenbei.
[15:57] Rokuzo
    Kuraya has his men abduct people,
     and the club enjoys murdering them.
[16:04] Osanai
    I want to know more!
[16:05] Doctor
    Stop that! He's a patient!
[16:09] Osanai
    Sorry about that.
[16:16] Shizuma
    What's wrong?
[16:17] Osanai
    It's just... That doctor looked familiar.
[16:20] Rokuzo
    Thanks for saving me, doctor.
[16:40] Osanai
    Get him!
[16:42] Osanai
    Midorikawa!
[16:45] Kawaguchi
    I have silenced Rokuzou.
[16:47] Kuraya
    We are going on a hunt.
    Round up some prey for us.
[16:50] Kawaguchi
    Should we not lay low for the time being?
[16:53] Kuraya
    I've put pressure on the
    Metropolitan PD through Kido.
[16:56] Kuraya
    There is no need for us to hold back.
[16:58] Kuraya
    Let's go.
[16:59] Kawaguchi
    Yes, sir.
[17:11] Kuraya
    Who are you?!
[17:14] Kawaguchi
    Kuraya-sama, are you hurt?
[17:17] Kuraya
    Perfect.
[17:19] Kuraya
    Put the woman in the carriage.
[17:23] Tanba
    About Officer Midorikawa's wounds...
[17:25] Tanba
    Fortunately, after making it to the
    hospital, he was able to hang on.
[17:29] Osanai
    It was the man from
    Kuraya's shop who shot him!
[17:32] Osanai
    We should go arrest him and Kuraya Zenbei!
[17:34] Tanba
    That won't happen. The Chief Superintendent
     has ordered us to close the investigation.
[17:38] Osanai
    Impossible!
[17:40] Shizuma
    But why? They got one of our own!
[17:43] Tanba
    I feel the same way you do,
    but orders are orders.
[17:50] Shizuma
    This is unacceptable!
[17:52] Officer
    Hold him!
[17:54] Shizuma
    Stop!
[17:54] Shizuma
    Why's our investigation being shut down?!
[17:56] Shizuma
    Are we going to let that murdering
    lowlife Kuraya get away with this?!
[18:00] Kido
    Kawaji-kun, your subordinates
     are ill-disciplined.
[18:04] Kawaji
    I apologize.
[18:05] Kido
    You appear discontent with the
    handling of the Kuraya Zenbei case.
[18:09] Kido
    But this isn't a matter that one
    individual officer can have a say in.
[18:14] Kido
    Stand down.
[18:15] Shizuma
    I protest!
[18:16] Shizuma
    I don't care what your reason is.
[18:18] Shizuma
    What's wrong is wrong!
[18:20] Kido
    How dare you!
[18:22] Kawaji
    Take him away!
[18:26] Shizuma
    You bearded raccoon!
[18:28] Shizuma
    I'm not done talking to you!
[18:29] Osanai
    Give it a rest!
[18:31] Osanai
    Not even Chief Superintendent Kawaji
    can go against Councilor Kido.
[18:34] Osanai
    If only Councilor Ohkubo were here,
    he would have stopped this injustice...
[18:39] Shizuma
    I'm going to Kuraya's mansion,
    even if I have to go alone.
[18:43] Makino
    He's not at his mansion. He's gone into hiding.
[18:47] Shizuma
    You...
[18:48] Shizuma
    You were Osanai-san's partner.
[18:50] Makino
    Second-rank patrolman, Makino. The incident
     with Mr. Iwakura was the last time we met.
[18:54] Shizuma
    Do you know where Kuraya is?
[18:56] Makino
    Yes. We're investigating him
    on suspicion of corruption.
[19:01] Makino
    Kuraya's holiday home.
    This is where we suspect he is.
[19:04] Osanai
    Thank you. We owe you one.
[19:06] Makino
    You'll repay me someday.
[19:08] Osanai
    The two of us will catch
     that villain together!
[19:11] Shizuma
    Right.
[19:13] Moriya
    Fool!
[19:16] Moriya
    What kind of yakuza gets screwed out of
    money he lent?! You call yourselves lenders?!
[19:21] Togura
    But boss, he's a foreigner.
     It won't be that easy.
[19:28] Kyoushirou
    Would you allow me to
    take care of this situation?
[19:31] Gotou
    Kindly keep your nose out of this.
[19:34] Moriya
    All right.
[19:35] Moriya
    Go get the money, and I'll make
    you more than a bodyguard.
[19:40] Moriya
    I'll pour your sake.
[19:53] Kyoushirou
    Sorry to spoil the fun.
[19:56] Kyoushirou
    Archibald King.
[19:57] Kyoushirou
    It's time to repay what you owe
    to the Moriya Clan. With interest.
[20:03] A
    Who's this fool?
[20:05] King
    He says he's here to collect his money.
[20:07] King
    Sorry, I don't have any on me right now.
[20:11] Kyoushirou
    Then, shall I get your wealthy fiancée
    back home to pay in your stead?
[20:16] King
    So you've read up on me, huh?
[20:18] Kyoushirou
    I wonder what your fiancée would think
    about you taking a courtesan as a mistress.
[20:29] Kyoushirou
    Do you feel like paying now?
[20:32] King
    You son of a bitch!
[20:34] King
    Have some bullets instead!
[20:40] Kyoushirou
    Pay back the money.
[20:45] Kyoushirou
    Pay back... the money.
[20:56] Kyoushirou
    Pay back... the money.
[21:01] King
    I'll pay! I'll pay up!
[21:04] King
    Just spare me! Spare me!
[21:07] King
    I'll pay you! I'll pay you, dammit!
[21:17] Kyoushirou
    Sake, please.
[21:25] Kuraya
    Only one victim tonight.
[21:27] Kuraya
    Let's take our time with her.
[21:31] Kuraya
    For old times' sake.

    Go!
[22:07] Kuramoto
    Looks like we have a lively one.
[22:28] Sumie
    How could you!
[22:30] Kuramoto
    What woman thinks she can point
    a gun at Kuramoto Masaomi?
[22:34] Sumie
    For Yukino-san!
[22:37] Kuramoto
    You missed.

    Did you hear that?!
[23:09] Shizuma
    Gunfire. From the forest.
[23:13] Hunter
    Is that it?
[23:15] Hunter
    That was no fun.
[23:16] Hunter
    I wish it could go on longer,
     but this is the end.
[23:20] Shizuma
    Found them!
[23:24] Hunter
    What a fortunate development!
     We have more prey!
[23:28] Shizuma
    Get back. It's dangerous here.
[23:30] Koume
    O-Okay!
[23:34] Osanai
    Shit! Shit! Shit!
[23:40] Osanai
    Thanks. You saved me.
[23:44] Shizuma
    Here.
[23:45] Osanai
    Right!
[23:47] Shizuma
    Now, come!
[23:56] Osanai
    Can you still fight?
[23:58] Shizuma
    We're just getting started.
[24:01] Shizuma
    Take off your masks, you cowards!
[24:04] Shizuma
    Or are you too ashamed of
    your deeds to show yourselves?
[24:08] Kuraya
    Your bark is quite loud for someone
    who's struggling just to stand.
[24:13] Shizuma
    Kuraya.
[24:15] Shizuma
    Why are you doing this?
[24:16] Kuraya
    Why else? Because it's fun!
[24:21] Kuraya
    In the war, we learned the
    joys of kidnapping and killing.
[24:24] Kuraya
    I simply can't forget that ecstasy!
[24:27] Kuraya
    Die!
[24:29] Osanai
    Look out!
[24:30] Osanai
    Now, Origasa!
[24:46] Osanai
    Looks like this is it.
[24:49] Shizuma
    We need to at least give
    the girl a chance to escape.
[24:56] Tanba
    Drop your weapons and surrender!
[24:59] Shizuma
    Chief Inspector Tanba!
[25:00] Osanai
    Wasn't the investigation called off?
[25:02] Tanba
    Chief Superintendent Kawaji
    contacted Councilor Ohkubo
[25:06] Tanba
    and got permission to
    resume the investigation.
[25:09] Shizuma
    Not bad, bearded raccoon.
[25:25] Koume
    This rabbit...
[25:26] Shizuma
    What about it?
[25:28] Koume
    It looks like the ones I used to make.
[25:31] Shizuma
    Really? You can fold those?
[25:35] Kuraya
    It's not over yet!
[25:37] Kuraya
    There are plenty more
    of us in the government.
[25:40] Kuraya
    I'll be out in no time—
[25:42] Shizuma
    What?!
[25:44] Officer
    Look out!
[25:44] Officer
    Which direction?!
[25:57] Hinazuru
    I'm not missing a second time.
[26:28] Kido
    I'll be resigning to take
    responsibility for this incident.
[26:32] Kido
    I'm counting on you to
    take care of the rest.
[26:34] Ohkubo
    We'll take care of the
    hunting club in secret.
[26:38] Ohkubo
    The government mustn't
    lose the trust of the people.
[26:41] Kido
    I hear there's one more on the loose.
[26:45] Ohkubo
    Not to worry.
[26:47] Ohkubo
    I've taken care of that problem.

[27:00] Fujita
    You forgot something.
[27:04] Fujita
    It's your turn to be the prey.
[27:15] Kawaguchi
    Fujita. How did it go?
[27:19] Fujita
    Perfectly.
[27:22] Fujita
    The name list.
[27:23] Kawaguchi
    Well done. I expect you to be
     just as useful going forward.
[27:30] Fujita
    Whatever you need.
