The Hunted Page #4

Synopsis: Paul is on a business trips to Nagoya, as a computer-chip executive from New York, when he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman. Later, he finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, inadvertently interrupting an assassination by a feared Ninja-cult. As he is now the only man to have seen the face of the cult's warrior-leader and lived, he soon realizes that he is facing a markedly foreshortened life-expectancy. Teaming up with a friendly samurai couple, on a two-centuries-old blood-feud with the Ninja, he struggles to survive. Finally, recuperating on an island-fortress, he learns swordsmanship, and perhaps, a little about courage, honor, love, and loyalty. The requisite final confrontation is rife with bloody swordplay and spectacular martial-arts action sequences.

and send a message to the world.

No one escapes the Makato.

What about the passengers

between us and them?

I'll warn them when you're ready.

Lika?

I am ready.

Then here I go.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...dangerous men are coming

from the front of the train.

Please move to the rear.

You must hurry.

Get out! Now!

You'll be safe in the rear compartments.

Kill him!

Break it.

He's mine.

No one will see my face, samurai!

No guns!

I challenge you, Kinjo!

- What do we do if he loses?

- Takeda will not lose.

Racine!

Come here!

Is this Kinjo?

No.

No?

You think I would forget his face?

Is this Kinjo?

Come!

Is this him?

No, it's not him.

What the hell is this?

I've finally done it. It's finally started.

How did you know

that assassins were on board?

I didn't know.

I just happened to be on the train.

Armed with a sword and bow?

I've been a martial arts teacher

for many years.

You can check my references.

Mr. Racine?

- Please, follow me. Please.

- Okay.

His story checks out.

Everyone says he's a hero.

Then that's all for now.

But there will be formal inquiry later.

You have to leave the sword with us.

What?

It's very important evidence.

No one touches my sword.

But we have rules. It must stay here.

How did you talk your way past the police?

It's all right. We are safe.

Listen, I don't want

to sound ungrateful, but...

...I would like to know

why you're helping me.

Two centuries ago...

...a rival clan hired the Makato

to destroy Takeda family.

They almost succeeded.

The Makato will keep killing

until someone stops them.

That is why Takeda hoped Kinjo

was on the train.

Their leader has never lost a battle.

That's why you want to help me?

For something that happened

hundreds of years ago?

When Kinjo comes, Takeda will fight him.

What if he doesn't come?

He will come.

Listen.

I would like to get word to my company,

tell them I'm okay.

That would be a mistake.

Kinjo will learn where you are.

You're tired. Rest.

You're right.

Thank you.

- I will take you to your room. Okay?

- Okay.

- What a beautiful place.

- Isn't it.

The event we have been preparing for

is upon us.

Keep up the practice.

Oshima.

Oshima.

Takeda.

Where have you been?

Such a colorful shirt you've got.

I want you to make me a new sword.

What happened to the last one?

It's broken.

Impossible. My swords never break.

You can cut steel with my swords.

I need the best sword you've ever made.

All my swords are masterpieces.

I will kill Kinjo with it.

You can't kill Kinjo with a sword.

Only with your soul.

Make it quickly.

- My Lord.

- Go away.

My Lord.

They...

I know.

They're dead.
