[Mohei is suspended from a bridge by a rope, kicking, flailing and trying to pull himself up]
Mohei:
Why don't you just let me down? Let me down now!
Mountain samurai:
We can't let you off so easily. An outlaw like you should be tortured to death.
[the samurai poke at Mohei with sticks, but Mohei tries beating them back with his own stick. A mysterious, well-dressed man comes by and sees the commotion]
Saizo Muin:
Mr. Mountain Samurai, you're being too cruel to a human life.
Mountain samurai:
What?
Saizo Muin:
Even a frog would return to curse you if you made it suffer a slow death.
Mountain samurai:
We're making an example out of him.
Saizo Muin:
There are other ways to make an example.
Mountain samurai:
What would you do, then?
Saizo Muin:
I'd do this if I were you.
[He cuts the rope, sending Mohei plunging into the river]
Mountain samurai:
Damn you!
[He lunges at the stranger but he dodges his blows and bounds over the crowd onto one of the bridge beams]
Saizo Muin:
Remember me. I'm Kirigakure Saizo.
Mountain samurai:
Get him!
[the samurai start off in pursuit, but one of the other samurai diverts their attention to something else: a young woman has pulled Mohei from the river and is rowing away]
