Rin finds Manji in the underground prison, but she is caught by Burando. Using her new fighting skills, she savagely beats him and frees Manji. Meanwhile, Toraeman allows the anxious wives and mothers to enter the prison gates to find their loved ones. As Rin begins to free Manji from his shackles, Kagimura arrives at the cell. Rin momentarily distracts him while Manji throws a hairpin into Kagimura's eye which has been contaminated by his bodily fluids and shortly poisons Kagimura to death. Yamada also arrives, but he is followed by Doa and Isaku who is alive after Doa reconnected the parts of his severed body. When Yamada admits he cut Isaku Doa attacks him but he is a match for her and almost cuts through the iron plate insert in her hat. The scene is interrupted by water flooding through the passageway and Manji uses the distraction to kill Yamada and escape with Rin. Above ground, there is dissent within the guards, but some eventually allow the women into the prison compound, defusing a potentially dangerous confrontation. Later, Burando destroys his notes, realizing that the search for immortality is futile. Rin and Manji recover from their ordeal and part ways with Isaku and Doa who gives Rin a memento in the Ainu tradition. (Source: Wikipedia)
