"Thank you." "Partner, are we following her home?" "Of course." "But protection isn't our only job." "I'm also after her money." "We're going." "Why did he stop?" "We can't get out!" "We've taken off!" "Help!" "Rakuda!" "Hang on!" "Are you alright, Rakuda?" "I think so." "But they went too far this time." "Shit!" "Partner... where are we going?" "To the Mutaguchis." "Partner, the Mafia is too much for the two of us." "Coward." "Partner, we don't know what comes next." " Are you scared?" " I am." "What are you doing?" "Wait for me in the car." "Keep the engine running." "OK." "Shikenbaru!" "What are you doing here?" "I've been waiting for you." "I'll kill you this time." "I've got something going on." "I don't have time for you." "Are you afraid?" "Tsurugi, I know who you're looking for." "The girl isn't here." "What?" "They took her to Mutaguchi's villa in Izu." "If you want to rescue her, go over my dead body." "No use trying to use her for cover." "She isn't afraid to die to kill you, believe me." "Let's go." "Here we are." "We had to make the detour for you to see somebody." "See him quickly." "We have to catch the plane." "We aren't leaving tonight." "What?" "So you lied to us." "Sorry, we had our reasons." "To be frank, we don't want you foreigners to be meddling." "Mr Bayan, what are you saying?" "These gentlemen are my friends." "Oh, yeah?" "To me they seem to be a part of a rotten scheme." "I don't believe them, the people of this country." "Mr Bayan!" "Kendo Masaoka is no exception." "He's after you for your money." "Damn you!" "Let's go, Kan!" "A blind man?" "Kan!" "Onaga!" "Kan!" "No!" "Onaga!" "MUTAGUCHI VILLAGE" "Get off!" "No!" "Get your hands off me!" "No!" "Stop!" "No!" "He frightened me." "They are trying to kill you with me as a decoy." "Bayan is a traitor." "Mr Jadot might be dead by now." "Oh, Tsurugi, I don't know what to do." "Help me, please." "It'll be OK." "You can count on me." "But the odds are against us." "Stop acting like a lady and follow me." "Understand?" "It's OK." "I've got you." "Partner!" "Quick!" "This way!" "Get on the boat!" "Wait for me downstream." " Don't let anything happen to her." " OK." "Takuma Tsurugi!" "You are good." "I'm Kowloon Dingsau." "Which means 'The Cutthroat of Kowloon'." "But I won't use my sword with you ." "Everybody stay back." "He helped the girl to escape." "We must make him tell where she is." "Please, we can't afford to have him killed yet." "Alright." "Hands up." "Walk." "What's happened to Tsurugi?" "I'm worried." "Miss, you stay here." "I'll go take a look." "Talk." "Tell us." "Where is Sarai?" "Damn you..." "How can you be so stupid?" "What's the good of helping such a baby?" "You'll gain a lot from co-operating with us." "Why the haste to die at your age, anyway?" "Partner!" "That guy took the girl away." "Leave him alone!" "Put that away." "What are you going to do?" "Two more bullets." "If you want to save him, tell me where Sarai is." "Stop!" "Come on." "Please!" "Kill me instead of him." "Next..." "No, no!" "I'll tell you!" "Rakuda, don't!" "Partner..." "We can't give up our task." "We've got to save Sarai!" "Partner..." "But, even if you say so..." "Stop!" "I'll talk." "She's waiting down the river." "Go!" "Partner..." "Partner..." "Wait!" "Dingsau , you always have to get involved." "We can't let him live." "Let me do it." "Partner!" "He's alive!" "Partner!" "Partner!" "Can you get up?" "There are many spas around here, partner." "I'll take you to one." "Come on." "Hold on to my shoulder." "Come." "You go back to Tokyo... alone." "What are you saying, all of a sudden?" "Are you a man or a mouse?" "I'll never team up with you again." "But, remember... they could have killed you." "Do you think I would die so easily?" "Why did you disobey me?" "Please, I'll never be a coward again." "If I'm not your partner any more, let me be your slave." "Ever since you rescued me in Singapore," "I've belonged to you." "Don't leave me." "Partner!" "Rakuda..." "I don't think you are fit for this kind of job." "You'd better save money and live long." "Partner..." "KOBE" "Wait!" "Try to escape and I'll kill you." "Rakuda..." "Partner..." "Don't... give up on me." "Partner..." "I may be as cowardly as a mouse." "I keep making mistakes." "Forgive me." "Thank you." "PRINCESS SARAI (BERUNERA OIL)" "Mr Jadot!" "How nice to see you safe!" "Read that." ""I, Sarai Hammett, renounce every right to,"" ""Berunera Oil Company and..."" ""...transfer it to Abdul Jadot."" "Get the idea, miss?" "Berunera Oil Company will be, owned by Mr Jadot and the Goryu Kai, Hong Kong." "Sign it, please." "The man who had me kidnapped, and who killed my friends..." "You left one out." "The man who also sent your old man to Heaven... that was me." "Alright, young lady, sign it." "No!" "Never!" "Dingsau, Tsurugi is still alive." "He followed me." "Moroko got into a fight with him, but I'm not sure..." "Shikenbaru." "I was just thinking of my eventual successor." "A strong man like Tsurugi." "But if you get him, I'll give you the Kowloon territory." "Have a good fight." "Lady, you 'd better sign it." "Kill me." "If you want my money so badly, just kill me and take it." " He's here!" "Tsurugi!" " What?" "Tsurugi!" " Tsurugi!" " Finally." "Tsurugi!" " Wait!" " What now, Dingsau?" "I have a suggestion." "Tsurugi and Shikenbaru are old enemies." "Let them fight." "We don't have time for it." "If he loses, I'll fight Tsurugi myself." "Tsurugi." "How about that?" "OK?" "OK." "If I win, will you give up Sarai?" "Yes, I will." "Are you ready, Shikenbaru?" "Tsurugi!" "You played dirty!" "Nachi!" "Brother!" "Stab us!" "Together!" "Tsurugi!" "Come on!" "Tsurugi!" "THE END"
