Episode Title:
Fleeing Karafuto
Episode Description:
Tsurumi's destroyer reaches the port of Karafuto where he approaches Asirpa's group and offers to protect her. He proposes to send Sugimoto and Shiraishi on the morning ferry to Wakkanai but Asirpa mistrusts his motives. Taking the initiative, Asirpa fires a volley of arrows into the air, causing everyone to scatter and enabling her to flee with Sugimoto. They are caught and come under fire but as Tsurumi's men surround them, Sugimoto lashes out, wounding them and escaping again. With the aid of the unknown "Mister Hood", Asirpa, the wounded Sugimoto and Shiraishi reach the ferry before it sails, leaving Tanigaki and Tsurumi behind with his men. A short while later, Tsurumi's destroyer steams after the ferry and take control. However, Asirpa, Sugimoto, Shiraishi and Mister Hood had descended onto an ice floe and escaped by using white sheets to conceal their movements. A short while later, local fishermen take them aboard their small boat and head back towards Hokkaido, while the disguised Ogata boards the ferry back to Hokkaido.
