F/X: creak creak creak
Closes.
Voice: ---We've been waitin'.

Youkai: Genjo Sanzo.
Sanzo: ---Just as I thought.
You're in league with that Doushi, aren't you.
Youkai: We're takin' the sutra. And while we're at it, your life as well.
F/X: Cocks gun.
Youkai: If you aim badly in a place like this, you could die from the ricochets, no?
Just hand over the sutra quietl...

F/X: Gunshots.
Youkai: !? The lights... ...!!

F/X: drip
Goku: ... ... (groans)
---Eh?

Goku: Gojyo... Hakkai- Hakkai!
Wake up!
Gojyo: ...What the...?
Where's this place?
Hakkai: We...?
Man: I see you've all woken up together.
I was just wondering if you were going to sleep a little while more.
Gojyo: You're from this afternoon...
Goku: What's going on here?!
Hakkai: Seems like,
We've just been served a short little rest.

Man: It looks like even the Sanzo-ikkou has its carelessness when dealing with what they think are humans.
Goku: ...You're a youkai?
Man: No, no, I am a real human.
Hakkai: ---I see.
We should have considered the case of this being a conspiracy between humans and youkai.
Gojyo: ~~~~~~Hah?!
Hakkai: In other words, the youkai probably reached an agreement of some sort.
Something like... in return for them not attacking this town, the latter will hand over a tribute.
Goku: Well then, that Doushi is a fake after all!
Gojyo: Then that means, we...
Man: Are the "tribute".
Of a very high value indeed.

Goku: ---Sanzo...
Man?: Ah?
Goku: Where's Sanzo?!! Why isn't he here?!
Man: There's no need to worry.
You too shall be going right after him.
Goku: Wha... ---Oi, ossan*!!
What did you do to Sanzo?! ~~~~Oi, I said!!
F/X: Door closes.
*ossan: vulgarish term for "middle-aged man"
Hakkai: This is bad...
Gojyo: Killed -- could he be? That guy?
Goku: As if Sanzo would die--!
Just like that?!

Hakkai: It's hard to tell, but from the way he said it, we can't say for certain if Sanzo's fallen into youkai's clutches.
---Whichever the case, it doesn't seem like we have time to dally in this place.
Goku: Mmghhghghgh---
~~~~Dammit, this jail ain't moving one damn inch!
Gojyo: No choice then... we'll just have to keep at it and break it down eh?
Hakkai: ---The two of you,
If you would move aside for a while please?
F/X: Shiny.

Sanzo: (panting)

F/X: slam

Youkai: (hit) Gah!!
Hakkai: It's times like these that makes studying lock-picking through correspondence course the right choice.
F/X: Running.
Gojyo: I'm not even going to ask.
Guards: ---The sacrifices've escaped!
Don't ever let them get outside!

Goku: ~~~~I said get outta my way!!
Gojyo: Which way now?!
Hakkai: Most probably this way!
F/X: slam
Goku: This is...
Gojyo: Sure enough, it's that Doushi's house huh.

Hakkai: We can't help it even if we have to search for Sanzo blindly.
Gojyo?: Well then, we've got to catch that bogus Doushi...
Soushin: ---If it's me, I'm here.
