Bin’s camp, and challenges him to a fight -- with Ki’s hands tied behind his back. But what
he finds instead is a woman leader who beat Bin years ago for command. Bin himself is
now blind and used for feeding the animals. The woman has Ki tied up anyway, and beat
him to a bloody pulp....
He wakes up tied in a hut, where the elderly Bin taunts him. Ki breaks free, and attacks
only to be accosted by the woman chief again. This time the fight's to the death -- but
when Ki gets the upper hand, he spares her. Bin has at Ki himself, but Ki shrugs off the
ineffective assault and heads home, content that justice has been served...
