To say that the 1-0 arc has been full of shocking reveals would be an understatement. However, when we go back and examine what details Oda had left behind, should we really have been surprised at all? Hello my Nakamitachi, this is Joygirl, and as much of the fandom, or at least those who are caught up, speculate on a new mystery recently posed in the manga. Today, we will be discussing other major twists which we have seen so far in the 1-0 arc, and some foreshadowing details which should have alerted us to these reveals. As we know, One Piece is a series where details as minuscule as they may seem, almost always have greater meaning and significance which will often come to play at a much later point in the story. Oda frequently sees plot developments well before they eventuate, and we're talking whole arcs, meaning years in advance. And we will be discussing some examples of these setups as this video is an examination of some of the foreshadowing details behind some of the greatest twists and moments in the 1-0 arc, which Oda included well before their payoffs. Before we begin, I should warn anime-only fans that we will be discussing some reveals which haven't yet been animated, but I will be providing you with spoiler warnings, so please feel free to continue watching and just skip ahead when necessary. And with that being said, starting our discussion with a reveal that has been animated, the true identity of Komorasaki. Komorasaki's double identity was perhaps a reveal that didn't really surprise many fans. The fact that the Oiran was actually Hiyori in disguise was pretty easy to guess with all things considered. However, until confirmed by Oda, all speculations remain just that, no matter how likely they seem. With the crazy stunts that Oda is known to pull, we are to expect the unexpected, and there is always a chance that we will see something completely different to what was anticipated. That was not the case in this occasion however, and Komorasaki was indeed revealed to be Hiyori. And aside from all the circumstantial speculative details, such as the introduction of a female character who seemed to be around the same age that Hiyori would be, and the focus on this Oiran suggesting that she would be a pivotal character to the story, Oda had also included a hidden detail hinting at the Oiran's real identity, which could be found in her name. Komorasaki translated to English means small purple, and in Japanese, the Oiran's name refers to purple beauty berry, a type of garden tree which fruits violet or purple berry clusters. While Oda's straight away from his usual convention of naming female characters after birds on this occasion, the meaning behind Komorasaki is still significant. Apart from the obvious connection between the famed beauty of the Oiran and that of the fruit, it seems to have been a hint to Komorasaki's true identity as Hiyori. Purple is a colour that has historically been related to the royal family across many cultures including Japan. Due to the difficulty and the amount of resources which was required to produce this rich colour, purple was traditionally worn by the royal family and other nobility. Furthermore, the violet hue, which makes up the Murasaki in the Oiran's name, is also connected to samurais in Japan symbolizing strength. It is said that the only flower that was able to be presented to samurais was the iris, a purple flower with sharp leaves which were reminiscent of the katanas of warriors. This meaning behind the colour purple seems to have been a hint of the Oiran's noble heritage as the granddaughter of the former Shogun of Wano as well as her samurai father Oden, arguably the greatest warrior the country has ever seen. Moving on to a much more recent reveal and one which came to more of a shock than Komorasaki's identity but before we get into this I will have to warn anime-only fans to skip ahead to the time shown on the screen as we will be discussing some manga-only content for a while. Now for everyone else, perhaps the biggest reveal that we have recently seen is that of Kaido's Devil Fruit. The nature of Kaido's dragon form had been a mystery which was the source for much speculation. From simple theories such as a mythical dragon fruit to much more left field ideas such as the existence of a new oni race. The actual answer revealing Kaido to have the Ua Ua No Mi model Seiru came to the shock of the majority of fans but in retrospect this fact had been dangled in front of us all along. Kaido's fish-based devil fruit which grants him the ability to turn into a dragon seems to have been hinted to us in many ways. From a few key details in his appearance such as his fish-like scale design across his upper body as well as his long Fumantru moustache which seems to have been a nod to the whisker-like barbells found on koi cups. Kaido's laugh, waroro, when spelt out in kanji the first two characters are read as Uo like the devil fruit rather than Wo and his birthday has revealed to be the first of May which fun fact is the date on which Kaido's anime debut took place An even fun effect? This day also corresponds to Koi Day, a celebration in Japan established by the National Carp Raising Promotion Council and whilst it's understandable that non-Japanese reading fans would likely miss the foreshadowing shown through Kaido's laugh and you would have had to have access to the data book One Piece Blue Deep or the SBS Volume 79 to catch the connection to his birthday. There may be another foreshadowing detail which Oda included in the series itself which occurred as early as chapter 731. Escaping the Colosseum in Dressrosa using animal disguises, Kinomon comments to Luffy and Zoro that he especially finds the koi fish disguise cool. This small, comical and seemingly meaningless line seems to have had deeper significance likely hinting at another koi fish we would come to see much later on in the story and one which Kinomon would not consider cool. Knowing chapter 731 was released in 2013 and the One Piece data book even earlier in 2012, that means Oda had set up these foreshadowing details over 8 years before its reveal. Talk about the long game, moving on to another major reveal which had several hints throughout the series but one which we could have connected straight away, Kanjuro the traitor. The speculations to uncover the traitor within the scabbards resulted in practically each of Odin's retainers coming into the firing line at one point or another and whilst there was a lot of circumstantial evidence throughout events in the series which made it seem highly likely that Kanjuro was the informer, what with his various suspicious actions such as when he randomly covered Kinomon's eyes as they were climbing up Zunisha to stop him from seeing the minks, fans were still not confident that Kanjuro was certainly the traitor. However, it seems Oda dropped many foreshadowing details to hint at this fact. In the same way that Komorasaki's name could have given away her identity, if written in Kanji, Kanjuro's name could be read to contain the Japanese word for suspicious, making his name Suspicious Juro. Furthermore, Kanjuro's epithet could also be seen to have been a clue as his epithet Evening Shower seems connected to Sun showers. Translated to Kitsune no Yomeiri which in Japanese folklore implies deception as rain during sunny weather was thought to be the result of a fox's trickery. I've made a video before discussing how much nuance and details non-Japanese speaking fans are missing out on and it seems we continue to find more examples as we delve into further examination of the series. But, even without understanding the Japanese language, it seems that there were other hints to give this mystery away. For example, in the Viver cards for new characters introduced in Dressrosa, Kanjuro was actually divided into the enemy pack, not the allies, which is a pretty dead giveaway, but again, not a detail that fans who didn't have access to this sort of external merchandise would have been able to catch. However, Oda did include more details which would allow any fan reading the series to connect the dots, and that is, through the mangaka's tendency to base elements in his series of historical and cultural inspirations, Kanjuro seems to be based on Yamada Emosaku, a Japanese man part of the Shimabara Rebellion during the Edo period. Emosaku was a secret informant of the Shogun and foiled the rebels' plans to overthrow the Monarch, and whilst this connection may only have been possible in retrospect once Kanjuro's treacherous nature was revealed, this historical parallel could have actually been made before the reveal because Emosaku was a painter, just like Kanjuro. And sticking with real life inspirations, another detail which could have alerted us straight away is Kanjuro's designs. Kanjuro's pale white face and his long red hair is the classic appearance of Kabuki actors, or the Ranjishi dance in particular. The fact that Kanjuro looked, and often displayed the dramatic behaviours of a Kabuki actor, was a big hint that Oda embedded into Kanjuro's character, foreshadowing his nature as an actor who has been faking his emotions and fealty to Oden and the rest of the scabbards all along. It seems that with Kanjuro, his true nature had been truly hidden in plain sight, and one which was given to us from the very first moment we laid eyes on his character. On to the next reveal, this time by way of cover pages. In another video, I have discussed how Oda is a unique mangaka who uses cover stories as a way to further develop his story, which at times can be used to foreshadow future events. This method to foreshadow future reveals isn't limited to just cover stories however, and even color spreads may be the source of hints. It seems Oda may have used this method of foreshadowing on more than one occasion with Zoro's character arc within Wano. Seeing Zoro again at Wano after a whole arc without him at Holcake Island, left fans hungry for the straw hat swordsman and his badass action scenes. And a question which often pops up amongst the fanbase is, who will Zoro fight next? Whilst this question isn't exclusive to Zoro, as one of the straw hat's main combatants, it is indeed a major element of intrigue and excitement surrounding his character. Wano has been a marvelous arc for Zoro and his fans so far, as we have been granted some truly glorious action packed moments that we have been so dearly missing. One of his greatest feats was against Kamazo, the manslayer, who was later revealed to be fellow worst generation member, Killer. The straw hat swordsman delivered an epic defeat to the assassin and was able to do so whilst fighting against two opponents at once. After having his shoulder pierced with a scythe whilst he was distracted with Kukimaru, the swordsman not only tanked this attack but then used Kamazo's own weapon against him to strike him down. And whilst I could continue gushing about this awesome fight and Toei's fantastic job in animating this scene, the focus for this discussion is how Oda may have actually foretold us of Zoro's impending fight scene a few chapters prior. Eight chapters before the one containing Zoro's matchup, the colour spread in chapter 929 features the swordsman wielding a scythe, possibly hinting at not only his next opponent but also a weapon which he would use. What's even more interesting is that in the same chapter where we witness his battle against Kamazo, there was another colour spread which may have contained a hint for Zoro's further developments. This time, Zoro is seen looking at a treasure map containing the drawing of a sword. Given Zoro's sword fanaticism, whilst this in itself may not raise any eyebrows, there are further details provided on this map. In addition to the picture of a sword, the Kanji characters Enma can also be seen. This bit of detail was shown to us before we even knew that Enma existed as Oda only introduced the famed sword in chapter 954, making this the second time that Oda used the colour spreads to foreshadow future plot developments relating to the straw hat swordsman. It seems the mangaka was dropping a clue about Zoro's side quest in the Wano arc which would lead him to Enma. Which leads us to another colour spread also concerning Zoro but mind you at this stage has yet to have paid off completely so let's have some fun reading into details. Also, this discussion will contain some spoilers for anime only fans so please do skip ahead. For everyone else, the colour spread in chapter 992, featuring Zoro eating noodles out of a bowl designed with blue dragons, seems it may be another possible hint for future events. Whilst we can't say that this necessarily confirms the idea that Zoro will kill Kaido, given Oda's track record with using colour spreads to hint at future developments for Zoro, this detail does seem to at least suggest a future match up between the swordsman and the yonko. And so, the foreshadowing could be even said to have played out already as Zoro is one of the figures currently engaged in combat with Kaido, though we will have to wait to see whether this detail will have even further significance in the battle to come. Or maybe, being the cheeky mangaka he is, Oda has caught on to us catching on to his use of colour spreads and just included this detail as a red herring. Perhaps what we will actually see is Zoro drink sake and eat Oden using Kaido's body as his bowl. And that brings us to the end of this video. If you enjoyed this examination of little details which we may have missed in this series, then please do subscribe because that is exactly the type of content this channel offers. And on that note, please check out some of my other videos for further examples, and please leave a comment below if you know of more Wano-related reveals which had been foreshadowed prior to the event playing out. This is Joygirl and I'll see you again soon.


ADVENTURES BY MORSE Morse presents COFFIN FOR THE LADY Featuring Captain Friday If you like high adventure, come with me. If you like the stealth of intrigue, come with me. If you like blood and thunder, come with me. 4 o'clock in the grey wet dusk of a late winter afternoon on Marmaduke Island uninhabited and somewhere off the Pacific coast of Canada Captain Bart Friday and Skip Turner soak to the skin lying in the dank leaf mold screened by a bank of fern watching, listening, waiting. No sound in all the empty forest except the dripping of rain-soaked trees and the lapping of water on the bank of the inland bay a score of yards away. Skip stirred. Honest to my grandma, Captain. Keep your voice down. It ain't even a civic cat within 20 miles from where we're laying. As the crow flies? Yeah, as the crow flies. Here we've been laying for three full hours. Taint that I mind playing Indian if the United States of America wants us to play Indian. Taint that. It's just that if we gotta do it, why'd we have to pick a middle of weather? And I mean a rainy winter. Take it easy, old boy. Suckers, that's what we are. We don't know when we're well off, that's a matter with us. We're sitting pretty in our office back in San Francisco. Friday making money for us. We got to cut a secretary in captivity. We got everything. And what do we do?  Sucker. That's so loud, sucker. And what for? I asked you. Little job for military intelligence. And do we know what kind of a job? No. Dog gone right we don't. We don't even know who we're working for. Yes, we do. Military intelligence. And that's what this guy brought us up here says. Major James Lawrence is everything he says he is. Maybe.  You're dead gum right I'm cold and hungry. And wet and cramped. And I got a cold coming on in my head. And that ain't all either. No. No. Do you realize we ain't so much as even sad eyes on an honest to goodness pretty female woman for more than a week now? Mm-hmm. What do you mean? Mm-hmm.  I was just thinking. Thinking what? This job must be pretty hot stuff. I figure. We've been brought up here without a word of information. Major Lawrence hasn't said a word to us about the mission except that our work should be cut out for us on the return trip. And for us to keep our eyes cocked and our ammunition dry. He said that? Yeah. Now he spotted us here while he's gone back into the woods to keep some kind of a rendezvous. Three hours. When he rendezvous, he rendezvous.  I don't know. Military intelligence. Listen. I don't hear nothing. Somebody's coming through the brush. Yeah. Yeah, I get it.  What if it's Major Lawrence? Let him come to us. Hey, it's not the Major. Somebody in army uniform, no? What's that he's toping in his arms? He's carrying some skips he's hurt. Yeah, guy stumbling around like a... Hey, he's down. Come on quick. He's hauled down in a heap. Hey, Captain, there's a knife in his back. So I see. Right between the shoulder blades. Is he... Hasn't corked out yet, but he's unconscious. No. No. Not unconscious. Hey. Who are you? What happened to Major Lawrence? Where'd you get this? Can't talk much. Get the girl to Portland, sir. Girl? Girl to Portland, sir. They... They want her dead. Captain Friday, this is a girl he was carrying. She's gagged and bound hand and foot. Hurry. Hurry. Get back to the boat. Get to the mainland. Get her...  Major Lawrence is dead. He... He's gone, Captain. Yeah, and did you get that? Major Lawrence is dead. Yeah, you think we ought to go look for him? No, we gotta get this girl out of here. I think we can get him in this little hunk of female... Don't mind this man. Hey, Captain. Didn't you hear him say to hurry? They must be hot on his trail. Pick up the girl. Seems a shame. Take his papers along.  Yeah. I think you don't weigh no more than a minute. I sure hate to desert the major and that soldier. He'll notify the authorities the first chance we get. What's the girl look like? Can't tell much. She's gagged and blindfolded. Spring chicken, though, I tell that. They've been on the path. They're shooting at us. They're all going right there, shooting at us. I felt that hunk of lead go by just as plain. We're coming to the boat. Want a hand with the girl? No. Only you should have to launch off while I'm getting in with her. Okay. You're going to have to wait out with her. Yeah. Up to our hips. Hurry. Jump in. Quick. Yeah, man. Push off. She's free. Fly me in, Captain. Go, sir. Yeah, let her go. There. We're getting out far enough now so they can't do as much damage. Yeah.  We've heard all them shots, but they ain't seen hot in the air nobody. Shooting stopped too. Notice that? Yeah. They used to use and gave up the chase, looks like. Hey, how about me opening this little package and see what we got? Package? Yeah, the babe, the doll. She tied up like a Christmas candy bomb. Okay, I'm tired. But first, got that gag out of her mouth. Yeah. Oh, lady, they got enough dried good stuff in your poor defect to dress a bride. There we are. Oh, thank you. Hey, Captain, look at what we got. Hey, she's pretty. Even in men's clothes, she's pretty. Hello there. I don't know who you two men are, but I want to thank you for saving my life. I think you're wonderful. I love both of you. Well, now I asked just about the nicest speech I ever heard.  Cut the ropes on her hands and feet. Oh, sure. What am I thinking about? Shut up, honey, so I can get at those wrists. Oh, they tied my hands behind me. Oh, say they did. There, that cut them loose. Oh, all the circulation's gone. Yeah, we'll rub them together hard.  They feel like they were dead. Where are we going? I don't know. Oh, Captain. What's the matter? Little lady wants to know where we're taking her. We'll be arriving on the mainland in another five or 10 minutes. There's nothing here at all. Just voice. That's all. Run the boat up alongside that old piling and tire up, Skip. Aye, Captain Freddy. Stan, I thought you were taking me to some town, or at least a village. Boats all secure. Good. We have to wait a short from here. I'll get over the side and carry her. How about me carrying her? I saw her first. You'll bring the rifles and bedding. Oh, that's great. I get to bring the rifles and bedding. And don't get them wet. Come on over the side, lady. I suppose there's nothing else to do. Nothing. Give me a hand. Here. Now, over with you. You must be freezing in that water.  By the way, what's your name? Judith. And all? Judith Wright. Now, you know more about me than I know about you. Here we go up the bank. And safe and sound. Oh, you don't know what a good feeling it is. Horses. You got horses hidden back in the woods. That's right. Oh, wee. Honest at Christmas. Every time I wade in the Pacific Ocean, it seems to get colder. Want to build a fire? Skip. Fire? We gotta dry out. Besides that, I want a little conversation with Miss Wright here. Oh, is that her name? Judith Wright. Miss Wright, this is one of my sidekicks. Skip Turner. Hello, Skip. Same to you, Miss Wright. Oh, Skip to Miss Wright. Anybody who saved a girl's life ought to be allowed to use her first name. Well, that suits me right down to the skin. And who are you, Captain? I'm Captain Bart Friday. Captain of what? No, it's just a title. Ah, don't let him kid you, sis. Skip? Yeah? I thought you were going to build a fire. Oh, but look, you kept... I thought we was running away from a bunch of bad boys. I am babies who were shooting at us must have a boat, same as we got. And if they're so anxious to get Judith back in... They got the whole Canadian coastline to look for us. It'll take them a month to find this hiding place. Yeah, but fire makes smoke, and smoke can be... Make a fire without smoke. Now, who ever heard of a fire? Indians do. Huh? Make a fire without smoke? Oh, sure. Get me some dry twigs and leaves. I'll show you. Well, what do you know? A good-looking redhead's a girl's cow. You seem awfully cheerful, Miss Wright. Why shouldn't I be? I've just been rescued. Oh.  Yeah. They both died getting you out of whatever mess you're in. You could be a little more concerned. I'm sorry. They were friends of yours. I've done a little work with them, Major. I never saw the soldier in my life. Well, at least it isn't a personal loss. That was a very dramatic thing. Army GI running down a rough forest trail with a girl in his arms and a 10-inch dagger blade between his shoulder. Yes. The girl gagged and bound. I know. How'd you get into a mess like that?  Hmm. How old are you? 20. You working for military intelligence? I don't think that's a question you have any right to ask, Captain Friday. What do you know about Port Lancer? Nothing. Should I? I don't know. The soldier gasped out Port Lancer before he died. Yes. I heard him. You're supposed to take me there. Why? I don't know. I just heard him tell you so. Okay, Judith. Here's some dry leaves and twigs like you asked for. Forget them. We're going to Port Lancer. But cap, the fire. Last the fire. Get the horses. Sure. Why did a sudden urge to rush to Port Lancer, Captain Friday? I'm being double-crossed somewhere along the line and I can't hold still till I find out who's doing it and why. Judith Wright, the girl of mystery. Port Lancer, the port of mystery. Why have two army men been murdered over Judith? Why was she bound and ganged? But most important, what is there at Port Lancer to make Captain Friday think that... but wait. Watch out, your horse doesn't stumble. We've got to wait this creek. I don't hear no creek. You will as soon as we turn the corner. It's just up ahead. That's our Captain Friday. We'll be at Port Lancer in another five minutes. I'm not used to riding. Neither am I. That's a fact. I bet they'll have to peel the seat of my pants off or I'll drown it between me and the saddle so hard. I hear the running water up ahead. Here's where we cross. I keep a tight rein. The creek bed has a rocky bottom and your horse is liable to stumble unless you keep his head up. Here we go now.  The bank with you. Good boy. Come on, Miss Wright. Just hang on. Keep right behind her, Skip. Okay, here we come.  Come on. Hang on, Judah. Careful, Dad. Oh, cowboy. Skip to call me. I only put two handfuls of hair out of my horse's mane hanging on there, sir.  Come on. On the edge of Port Lancer. You can see smoke from the village. That's about time. You realize we've been in the saddle from 11 o'clock this morning to 4.30 this afternoon? You don't have to tell me. I've realized to be second of it. Yeah, yeah, there she is. You can see the buildings through the trees. Hey, you any idea what we're going to do when we get there, Captain? Put our horses up at the local livery stable. Take a couple of rooms at the little hotel. And then what? Then just sit. Do what? Just sit till the news of our arrival spreads over Port Lancer. It won't take long with all 300 of the inhabitants thirsting for the latest news. And after the news is around, what? And I expect we'll be receiving visitors. What makes you think that? Somebody in Port Lancer wants to get in touch with you very much. That was the soldier's dying words. Hey, our forest path just sort of widens out into the main street of the village. And there's the livery stable on the left-hand side of the street, up ahead. Yeah, yeah. There's a Comstock Hotel just opposite. Well, if you ask me, the livery stable looks more inviting than the hotel.  And the horses will get better food, too. Hello. Must be a boat in the harbor. Huh? Do they have passenger boat service up here? Listen, not passenger. That'll be a cannery boat. One of the boats that service the fishing canneries. They carry passengers, one and if there are any. You're pretty well acquainted with the country up here, Captain Friday. That's my job. Job? And just what is your job? Whoa, there. Whoa. Here we are. Now let's get down. Man, does it ever feel good to stand on your own two feet again? Here, come on, baby, I'll help you off. Just let go down slide. Oh, there. Whoa, boy. Gotcha. Oh, my goodness, Judith. Man can pick you up and put you in this bargain. Skip your ladies, man. Put me down. Do you mind? There you are. Oh! Oh, you see? It's that lame. You want I should pick you up again? No. I'd get along. Here, I'll take the three horses in the stable. You won't need to do that, mister. Oh, hello. You're the stableman? That's right. Will you be leaving the horses here overnight? Looks like it from here. Then I'll be taking them along. Come along, boys. Wait, mister. No, what's the matter? Whoa. Whoa, boys. What's the matter?  I'll be needing a small deposit on the feed bill. Well, that's silly. You can hold the horses if we don't pay. It's a rule we got. Avoid arguments later on. Well, that's a silly issue. Never mind. Never mind. I'll go along with him. You're on this right way here. Sorry, mister. The rules are rules. Yeah, sure. Hey, come on, boys. Whoa. Whoa, boys. You folks staying across the street at the Comster Hotel? I expect so.  All right, but hurry it up. We've had a long ride. We're tired. Come on, baldy. Whoa, baldy. Whoa, boy. Uh, just time. Hey! That takes care of one of you. I'm easy enough it was to. Now to get the other one in here. Hmm. Taking Captain Friday long enough to make a deposit. Some of these natives along the coast are funny people. Just vicious of everything. Only hard to do business with. Yeah, I spoke. Hey, look. Here comes a stable man. Well, where's the Captain?  Hey, what's the matter, fella? Will you come into the stable a minute, mister? Me? Looks like one of your horses is going lame. Oh. Which one? The big bay. Your friend was wishing you'd step inside a met. Oh, will you excuse me a minute, Judith? Oh, yes. Is there anything to... A no, miss. I'll be out in a minute. They come along with you. Might as funny. I was riding the bay and there wasn't a limp out of her all day. Right inside here. If you'll step right in the buck stall. Hey! Captain, why'd you do that?  Hey, you're bleeding. No, not bad. Oh, I'm all right.  I saw the blow coming and rolled with her, but I still was stunned for a minute. You mean he brought me in here for the same reason? That's right.  Well, he didn't roll with the blow you give him. You'll be out for an hour. Never mind him. Where'd you leave Judith right? Out in front. She was gonna wait. Come on, let's find out what this game is. Wait. Don't go barging outside when we see the lay of the land. Just a minute. I don't get it. Did you say Miss Wright was waiting outside for us? Oh, she said. What she said and what she's doing and two different things. Take a look for yourself. Hey, she's hightailing it off down the street.  Well, we better get on her tail. What if she gets further ahead? Well, there's one thing she's not heading for the harbor. Hey, but why does she want to give us a slip after us saving her? Hey, do you think she's in cahoots with this old stable geezer who tried to lay us out? Come on. She's far enough ahead. Right on your coattail. Oh, how you're gonna shatter anybody in this one horse village? Man, just do the best we can. And have you thought that if there's one man who wants to have us put away in Port Lancer, there's probably at least a couple of more? Well, anyway, I'm glad it's getting dusk. That's more of a break. Hey, look, she's turning off the main street. Okay. Then we can close up a little on her. Faster, but keep on the grass so she won't hear footsteps behind her. Yeah. Right ahead's where she turned off. Yeah. Hold it. There's nothing more than a cow path leading off into the woods. There she is. I don't see nothing. I caught sight of her going through the trees. Come on. Easy on those footsteps. Walk along the edge of the grass. It's getting darker under the trees so we can close in some more. What the heck's going on, Cappy? We rescued Judith right at the cost of the lives of two army intelligence men. We'd get her safely to the mainland only to have one of her friends try to crack our skulls. We don't know who he was, her friend. Well, then why didn't she stick around? Looks to me like the stable man was getting rid of her so she could be on her way. Smells rotten, all right. Look. Look ahead. Uh-oh. Cabin. With a light in the window. Your friend Judith are knocking on the door. Yeah. Looks like we come to a place where we might get information about a lot of things. Door's opening for her. See who let her in? No. Come on. Let's creep up outside the window. See what goes on inside. Think they might have a guard outside? Why didn't they challenge Miss Wright then? Sounds logical. Come on. Not too fast. Let's look the situation over as we go. Let's try for that group of trees near the cabin first. OK, go ahead. I'm right behind you. Come on. See anything? Not a move out or nobody. OK. Our next dash will be the shadow of the house. Yeah. Oh, a night comes down on you like a blackout out here in these woods. All right. Here we go. Make it quiet. Don't know a sign of man or beast. Now then, we'll ease along the house up to the window. Uh-huh. Oh, Captain, did you see that? They pulled a curtain over the window. Yeah. It's too bad. So what do we do now? Let's have a look anyway. Oh, don't brush against the logs. They can hear you inside. I'm watching. Hold it. And there's a crack. You can see under the curtain.  Yeah. See anything? The girls laying on the floor. I can see her as well as you can. They've killed Judith. I don't see any blood. Hey, what's that big oblong bob? They got sitting on those kitchen chairs. Where? Oh, it's a room there. They're lifting up the girl's body. But they're putting in... They're putting Judith right in a coffin. Did you see her face? She's not dead yet. They're burying the girl and she's not dead yet. Skip. Huh? What's the matter? If I'm not mistaken, somebody's standing right behind us. Be there, you two gentlemen, so much as twitching eyebrow. I'll blast you to kingdom come. Judith right elude her rescuers to rush to her own destruction. Why was the coffin in the cabin? Were these men just waiting for her to deliver her body in the satin lined burial box? But Skip Turner said she wasn't dead yet. No one wants to be buried alive.
