第4話: 追放後の出来事とモリコの死に続き、トクコの陣とシゲモリの死が描かれる。

Tokuko goes into a difficult and prolonged labor causing fears for the life of her and the child. Saiko and the other conspirators are exiled by Kiyomori to Kikaigashima against Shigemori's advice. Shigemori comes to believe that Tokuko's problems are related to the mistreatment of the Kikaigashima exiles and proposes a compensatory ceremony. Kiyomori releases some of the exiles, who show remorse by sending a thousand sotoba into the sea, but he refuses to forgive Shukan and leaves him on the island. Tokuko successfully gives birth to a baby boy; however, Moriko dies at the age of 24, and rumors spread that it is punishment for the Taira gaining control of Fujiwara lands. Shigemori goes on a pilgrimage to Kumano and prays that he not live to see the Taira fall because of his father. Shortly after his return, Shigemori takes ill, and he has a vision of the Heike being punished for the actions of Kiyomori. Not long afterwards, he passes away, with Biwa beside him.
