20
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:36,430
So Mutsuta refused?

21
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:43,690
Count my uncle out.

22
00:02:43,770 --> 00:02:46,770
I gave him our proposal
to purge the clan of corruption.

23
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:52,070
He just glanced at it and said,
"I'm aware of the situation."

24
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,740
- Τhen why does he do nothing?
- I asked him that.

25
00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:57,700
"Why overlook the corruption
of your vice-chamberlain

26
00:02:57,830 --> 00:03:01,040
and provincial steward
in the daimyo's absence?"

27
00:03:02,540 --> 00:03:03,660
He smiled and said,

28
00:03:03,790 --> 00:03:07,420
"Perhaps I'm behind it.

29
00:03:08,590 --> 00:03:13,210
You all think I'm a good-natured halfwit,
a scarecrow who'll do your bidding.

30
00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:16,680
People aren't what they seem.
Be careful.

31
00:03:16,890 --> 00:03:21,220
You'd never suspect
who the worst are. Be careful."

32
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:23,770
Τhen he tore –
- He tore it up?

33
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:27,060
He really went too far.

34
00:03:27,730 --> 00:03:28,690
And then?

35
00:03:28,810 --> 00:03:30,730
I gave up on him.

36
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:34,070
I met with Superintendent Kikui,
as we planned.

37
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:35,780
What did he say?

38
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,410
He understood our position,
just as expected.

39
00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:42,580
At first he seemed troubled and said
he'd discuss it with my uncle,

40
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:45,370
but when I told him my uncle's words,
he was shocked.

41
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:49,460
He thought about it and said,
"All right. I'm with you.

42
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,880
I'd like to talk with your group.
Gather all your men quickly."

43
00:03:57,010 --> 00:03:57,930
Τhere you have it.

44
00:04:00,010 --> 00:04:02,810
- Kikui's the real thing!
- We can reason with him.

45
00:04:02,930 --> 00:04:07,390
He's extremely influential.
He's no good-natured scarecrow.

46
00:04:16,570 --> 00:04:17,950
Wait just a minute.

47
00:04:36,130 --> 00:04:39,800
- Τhat's quite a story.
- You heard us? Stop him!

48
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,720
Imbecile.

49
00:04:44,850 --> 00:04:47,980
Do I look
like I'm going anywhere?

50
00:04:53,190 --> 00:04:55,440
What the hell
are you doing here?

51
00:04:56,780 --> 00:04:59,610
It's a free room for the night.

52
00:05:00,950 --> 00:05:05,700
By the way,
you should be glad I overheard you.

53
00:05:06,750 --> 00:05:11,170
"Τhe spectator sees more than the player."
He can judge the right course of action.

54
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:13,290
Listen.

55
00:05:15,090 --> 00:05:16,710
If you ask me,

56
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,340
the chamberlain is the real thing,

57
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,550
and the superintendent
is a phony.

58
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,350
What? Such insolence
won't go unpunished!

59
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,180
Don't get all testy.

60
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,890
I haven't seen
either of their faces,

61
00:05:31,850 --> 00:05:36,020
so I can't be fooled
by their looks.

62
00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:41,030
Τhe chamberlain
is ugly, isn't he?

63
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,200
I guess I must be right.

64
00:05:48,830 --> 00:05:54,250
But judging from your story,
he must be a great man

65
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,010
who doesn't care
if you think he's a fool.

66
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,680
But this Superintendent Kikui –

67
00:06:04,890 --> 00:06:09,600
You say he's the real thing,
"just as expected."

68
00:06:10,980 --> 00:06:15,230
That must mean
he looks the part.

69
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,910
Am I right?

70
00:06:26,030 --> 00:06:28,030
But people aren't
what they seem.

71
00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:30,700
Be careful.

72
00:06:30,830 --> 00:06:33,290
Enough! What does
a worthless ronin know?

73
00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:36,920
I'm just repeating
what the chamberlain said.

74
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:40,590
Don't you get it?
His words were even more precise:

75
00:06:41,090 --> 00:06:45,430
"You'd never suspect
who the worst are. Be careful."

76
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:51,810
I may be wrong, but it sounds like
Kikui is the rotten one.

77
00:06:51,930 --> 00:06:53,600
Fool!

78
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:56,100
Quiet down and listen.

79
00:06:56,310 --> 00:06:58,770
What's the superintendent's job?

80
00:06:59,570 --> 00:07:02,280
To quiet discord
in the ranks, right?

81
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,450
Instead,
he's inciting you to revolt.

82
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:09,830
Don't you find that odd?

83
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:21,050
What's more,
he told you to gather quickly.

84
00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:23,300
That's a bad sign.

85
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,760
If he's the mastermind,
he can kill you all in one fell swoop.

86
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,970
Don't do as he says.
Just watch and wait.

87
00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:42,780
But we're meeting him
here tonight.

88
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:45,070
What?

89
00:08:07,930 --> 00:08:10,800
I was right. Take a look.

90
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,100
We're completely surrounded.

91
00:09:03,150 --> 00:09:05,730
Not even an ant could escape.

92
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:25,540
The foolishness
never ends, does it?

93
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:28,710
Put your swords away.
This is no time to play war.

94
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,930
Shut up!
We're not listening to you!

95
00:09:31,050 --> 00:09:32,680
Suit yourselves.

96
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,260
I'm sure Kikui will be delighted
to see you all dead.

97
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,650
But... we're surrounded.

98
00:09:48,530 --> 00:09:50,990
Just leave it to me.

99
00:10:07,630 --> 00:10:10,970
Superintendent Kikui sent us.
Surrender!

100
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:17,300
You're surrounded!

101
00:10:17,930 --> 00:10:19,720
Do not resist!

102
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,900
What a racket!
What do you want?

103
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:47,840
What do you think you're doing?

104
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,970
Take your shoes off
before you go in my room!

105
00:11:03,810 --> 00:11:05,310
Who is this guy?

106
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,190
So... you wanna fight?

107
00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:12,940
Watch out. You woke me up,
and I'm in a bad mood.

108
00:11:41,220 --> 00:11:43,020
Pull back!

109
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,060
It's not him we're looking for.

110
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,990
Besides, disposing of this one
would take too long.

111
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:02,740
You're quite able.

112
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,960
If you wish to serve our clan, come
see me at the superintendent's estate.

113
00:12:11,420 --> 00:12:12,840
My name is Hanbei Muroto.

114
00:12:40,370 --> 00:12:42,780
It's safe now. Come out.

115
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,100
We don't know how to thank you.

116
00:13:03,970 --> 00:13:07,430
No thanks needed,
but some money would be nice.

117
00:13:08,060 --> 00:13:12,650
I've been starving for days.
A cup of sake and some food's enough.

118
00:13:32,630 --> 00:13:34,340
This'll do.

119
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:42,720
See ya around.

120
00:13:55,980 --> 00:14:00,860
But what will you do now?

121
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,030
You've opened our eyes.

122
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,080
We'll rush to apologize to my uncle
and follow his instructions.

123
00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:13,500
Very reasonable. Good boys.

124
00:14:17,630 --> 00:14:20,960
Wait. That won't do.

125
00:14:22,090 --> 00:14:24,470
The chamberlain's
in danger now.

126
00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:26,680
- The chamberlain?
- That's right.

127
00:14:26,810 --> 00:14:30,060
If I were Kikui, I'd arrest him,

128
00:14:30,430 --> 00:14:33,940
since he seems to know
that Kikui is behind the corruption.

129
00:14:44,070 --> 00:14:45,780
- Where are you going?
- To my uncle's.

130
00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:47,990
So they can catch you?

131
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,080
They know you.
Show your face and you're finished.

132
00:14:51,250 --> 00:14:53,910
But it's my fault.
If I hadn't been so stupid –

133
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,840
We're all responsible.
You were just following our plan.

134
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,250
But if anything happens
to my uncle –

135
00:15:00,420 --> 00:15:02,420
Idiot! Stop saying "my uncle"!

136
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:05,880
You can't just act
on your own whims.

137
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:07,720
That's right.

138
00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:10,760
The nine of us
are in this together.

139
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,310
The ten of us!

140
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,520
I won't watch you
blunder your way to your deaths.

141
00:15:44,970 --> 00:15:48,010
It's quiet.
Everything seems all right.

142
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:52,470
No, something's wrong.
The shutters are usually closed now.

143
00:15:54,140 --> 00:15:56,230
Are there fish in this pond?

144
00:15:58,190 --> 00:16:00,110
A lot of big carp.

145
00:16:22,670 --> 00:16:24,460
Must have been a fish.

146
00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:44,530
Just as you suspected.
Those three are Kikui's men.

147
00:16:44,690 --> 00:16:48,610
That's my uncle's room.
He must be in trouble.

148
00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:52,530
Don't be hasty.
Let's wait and see.

149
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,380
We can't move like this,
like a centipede.

150
00:17:11,050 --> 00:17:13,550
Is there somewhere we can hide?

151
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,890
There's a barn just ahead.

152
00:17:16,060 --> 00:17:18,140
Good. Let's go.

153
00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:39,250
Koiso! What's wrong?

154
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:41,420
Master Izaka!

155
00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:51,340
Fool! This is no time for tears.

156
00:17:51,930 --> 00:17:54,090
My lord is in terrible trouble!

157
00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:56,930
Calm down.
Tell us what happened.

158
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,600
The superintendent suddenly
arrived with a host of men.

159
00:18:01,770 --> 00:18:05,270
We were eating –
- Never mind that. Where's my uncle?

160
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,440
Ten men took him away.

161
00:18:07,610 --> 00:18:10,530
Where the hell were the guards?

162
00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:14,950
They were taken by surprise
and locked up in the main house.

163
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,530
And my aunt?

164
00:18:16,660 --> 00:18:19,750
I don't know.
Probably under watch somewhere.

165
00:18:19,870 --> 00:18:21,080
And Chidori?

166
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,960
I think she's with her mother.

167
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,210
- How many men are on watch?
- Fourteen or fifteen.

168
00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:31,420
Then how did you escape?

169
00:18:31,550 --> 00:18:33,840
The sentries asked me
to get some sake,

170
00:18:33,970 --> 00:18:36,260
so I pretended to go
to the kitchen.

171
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:39,600
- Unaccompanied?
- A man followed me the first time.

172
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,600
This time they let me go alone.

173
00:18:43,310 --> 00:18:45,020
Send her right back.

174
00:18:45,150 --> 00:18:48,150
- Send her back?
- Yes, to Kikui's men.

175
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,110
Too bad,
since she managed to get away,

176
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,160
but they'll raise the alarm
if she disappears.

177
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,740
Best to get them drunk on sake.

178
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:04,210
Then we can rescue
the chamberlain's old lady and the girl.

179
00:19:05,670 --> 00:19:07,000
I see.

180
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:10,050
Koiso, will you go back?

181
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,970
Yes, I will.

182
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:25,850
Now there's a samurai.

183
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,190
More reliable than all of you.

184
00:19:45,540 --> 00:19:49,710
We're grateful,
but please watch your language.

185
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,300
Calling the chamberlain's wife
his "old lady"...

186
00:19:53,130 --> 00:19:56,880
And it's annoying to have you
decide our every move.

187
00:19:57,260 --> 00:19:59,590
You want to rescue
the ladies first,

188
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,720
but the chamberlain's safety
is more pressing.

189
00:20:02,930 --> 00:20:07,060
Very well. Where is he then?

190
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:10,560
We can't rescue him
without knowing where he is.

191
00:20:10,770 --> 00:20:14,820
What's the superintendent
planning to do with him?

192
00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:18,490
We can't do anything
without knowing that.

193
00:20:18,660 --> 00:20:25,160
Kikui must've told the old lady
why he hauled her husband off.

194
00:20:26,410 --> 00:20:29,250
Don't you wanna ask her
what she knows?

195
00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:37,050
Understand now?

196
00:20:37,630 --> 00:20:39,340
Good. Now split up.

197
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:44,260
You three and I
will rescue the old lady.

198
00:20:44,890 --> 00:20:47,520
The rest of you,
look for the chamberlain.

199
00:20:48,690 --> 00:20:53,650
We'll meet in a safe place.
Is there anything around here?

200
00:20:54,690 --> 00:20:58,110
We can't go far at night
with the ladies in tow.

201
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,110
My house is closest.

202
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,370
Are you crazy?
You're next door to Kurofuji.

203
00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:08,620
- Who's Kurofuji?
- One of the traitors. A vice-chamberlain.

204
00:21:09,170 --> 00:21:11,330
Sounds like fun.
Let's meet there.

205
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:13,290
That's ridiculous!

206
00:21:13,460 --> 00:21:17,420
Were you born in the Year of the Ox?
You always fly off the handle.

207
00:21:19,180 --> 00:21:23,720
Nobody thinks to look
right under his own nose.

208
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:09,100
There are three guards.

209
00:22:10,730 --> 00:22:15,520
I'll knock one down,
and you two take him prisoner.

210
00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:17,610
Don't kill him.

211
00:22:17,940 --> 00:22:21,190
He may tell us
where the chamberlain is.

212
00:22:23,660 --> 00:22:27,990
While I do away
with the other two,

213
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,160
you rush in
and rescue the women folk.

214
00:22:32,290 --> 00:22:36,290
We'll meet back at the barn.
Got it?

215
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,760
Why are you looking
at me like that?

216
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,520
You want to draw your swords?
Forget it.

217
00:22:52,730 --> 00:22:55,480
A stupid friend's sword
is deadlier than an enemy's.

218
00:22:55,730 --> 00:22:58,190
I don't want to get cut to pieces.

219
00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:10,540
That's the guardhouse.
Your plan seems to have worked.

220
00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:15,920
Now's our chance.

221
00:23:47,110 --> 00:23:49,070
That was close.

222
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,160
They've changed the guard.

223
00:23:51,290 --> 00:23:54,080
Muroto.
You just met him at the shrine.

224
00:23:56,170 --> 00:23:59,130
He offered me a job.

225
00:23:59,250 --> 00:24:01,880
What's he do for Kikui?
- Henchman and enforcer.

226
00:24:02,050 --> 00:24:05,300
Let's go now. He's alone.

227
00:24:05,470 --> 00:24:07,220
Are you blind?

228
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,430
Those three guards
are kitty cats.

229
00:24:11,260 --> 00:24:14,470
He may be alone,
but he's a tiger.

230
00:24:34,450 --> 00:24:36,290
What the hell's that racket?

231
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,210
The guards are drunk, sir.

232
00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:48,630
Your faces are red.

233
00:24:51,390 --> 00:24:53,850
Wash them in the pond.

234
00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:09,610
Do it!

235
00:25:14,790 --> 00:25:17,700
I'm going to the main house.
Stand guard.

236
00:25:46,650 --> 00:25:52,490
Kikui said he arrested Uncle to stop him
from destroying evidence of corruption.

237
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:54,410
Is that right?

238
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:58,950
He thought of everything,
didn't he?

239
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,750
Who is that gentleman?

240
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:12,180
It's hard to explain. A strange series
of events has made him our ally.

241
00:26:12,300 --> 00:26:16,470
Indeed, he saved our lives.
- Is that so?

242
00:26:17,060 --> 00:26:18,930
Thank you.

243
00:26:36,870 --> 00:26:40,330
What's keeping those two?
It's dangerous staying here.

244
00:26:41,210 --> 00:26:45,540
Yes, but I've never run so
in my entire life.

245
00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:49,300
I must rest a bit
or I shan't even be able to walk.

246
00:26:54,590 --> 00:26:57,800
This is my first time here.

247
00:26:58,390 --> 00:27:01,600
The hay smells lovely.

248
00:27:01,730 --> 00:27:05,100
I love this smell.

249
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:10,110
We come here often,
don't we, Iori?

250
00:27:15,820 --> 00:27:17,780
I'll find those two.

251
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Why do you two come here?

252
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:26,710
It's so quiet,
even in the daytime.

253
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,260
You can lean back in the hay
and feel like you're floating.

254
00:27:32,510 --> 00:27:38,010
Enveloped in its scent,
you drift into a dreamy haze.

255
00:27:38,930 --> 00:27:40,560
You know,

256
00:27:41,180 --> 00:27:47,100
I even fell asleep once
on Iori's arm.

257
00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:52,280
Not very ladylike.

258
00:27:54,110 --> 00:27:55,820
But...

259
00:27:56,530 --> 00:27:58,780
actually...

260
00:28:02,490 --> 00:28:05,210
it does smell nice.

261
00:28:16,050 --> 00:28:17,470
No wonder they were late.

262
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,390
They were dunking his head in the pond
to make him spit out my uncle's location.

263
00:28:22,390 --> 00:28:24,560
Stubborn bastard wouldn't talk.

264
00:28:25,430 --> 00:28:28,440
- Only spat out water, eh?
- He may not know anything.

265
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,560
Why should I talk?

266
00:28:31,570 --> 00:28:32,900
Son of a bitch!

267
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,480
What do we do?

268
00:28:34,610 --> 00:28:37,240
He saw our faces.
We have to kill him.

269
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,610
That just won't do.

270
00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:44,450
And you killed
the other two as well, didn't you?

271
00:28:47,330 --> 00:28:50,580
I did it to rescue you.
I had no choice.

272
00:28:50,750 --> 00:28:55,460
I hesitate to say this
after you so kindly saved us,

273
00:28:56,130 --> 00:28:59,340
but killing people
is a bad habit.

274
00:29:07,270 --> 00:29:11,270
You glisten too brightly.

275
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,480
- Glisten?
- Yes.

276
00:29:14,940 --> 00:29:16,440
Like a drawn sword.

277
00:29:16,610 --> 00:29:18,490
A drawn sword?

278
00:29:19,610 --> 00:29:24,280
You're like a sword
without a sheath.

279
00:29:24,450 --> 00:29:26,700
You cut well,

280
00:29:26,830 --> 00:29:32,130
but the best sword
is kept in its sheath.

281
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,800
So what do we do with him?

282
00:29:42,010 --> 00:29:45,470
Come with us, will you?

283
00:29:46,470 --> 00:29:48,680
We won't harm you.

284
00:29:51,650 --> 00:29:53,560
- Over here!
- What is it?

285
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:58,150
Hurry! Over the rear wall!

286
00:30:15,670 --> 00:30:17,300
That way!

287
00:30:18,010 --> 00:30:20,050
Guard the front gate!

288
00:30:23,220 --> 00:30:24,840
Hurry!

289
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:30,310
That may be easy for you,
but for us it's impossible.

290
00:30:30,430 --> 00:30:31,560
Just try.

291
00:30:31,690 --> 00:30:34,850
We can't.
Isn't that right, Mother?

292
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:37,020
Hurry!

293
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,780
Use me as a footstool.

294
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,370
- No, I couldn't.
- Never mind that.

295
00:30:45,490 --> 00:30:47,030
But –

296
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,870
No buts. Your hesitation
will force me to kill more men.

297
00:30:52,790 --> 00:30:54,040
Hurry!

298
00:30:54,170 --> 00:30:56,080
Please forgive me.

299
00:31:09,140 --> 00:31:10,720
Please hurry.

300
00:31:11,850 --> 00:31:14,390
We can't let
Kurofuji's men see us.

301
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,290
- I'm hungry. Get me some food.
- The servants are making rice balls.

302
00:31:40,420 --> 00:31:41,920
Got any sake?

303
00:31:42,090 --> 00:31:46,760
This is no time for drinking.
We need to plan our next steps.

304
00:31:47,260 --> 00:31:49,600
I'm smarter when I drink.

305
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,020
Sounds like Kikui plans to pin
his crimes on Chamberlain Mutsuta.

306
00:31:57,150 --> 00:32:01,230
They may even force him
to write a confession, and then –

307
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,530
And then what?

308
00:32:10,780 --> 00:32:14,370
You can be frank with us.

309
00:32:20,210 --> 00:32:23,090
They'll make him commit harakiri.

310
00:32:25,050 --> 00:32:27,090
What shall we do, Mother?

311
00:32:27,220 --> 00:32:29,140
There's nothing to fear.

312
00:32:29,390 --> 00:32:32,680
Your father is a shrewd old fox.

313
00:32:32,810 --> 00:32:37,480
It won't be easy to make him
commit harakiri.

314
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:46,940
Now, what do you gentlemen
intend to do next?

315
00:32:47,490 --> 00:32:51,700
First we'll find Uncle
and bring him back. Then –

316
00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:53,830
That's all you need to do.

317
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,370
Pinning the blame on your uncle
is practically a confession of guilt.

318
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,920
If we rescue him,
they're finished.

319
00:33:05,510 --> 00:33:07,670
That's quite correct.

320
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,340
But can we get him back?

321
00:33:10,510 --> 00:33:12,890
If not, we're the ones
who're finished.

322
00:33:13,930 --> 00:33:17,310
Well, then,
please do your best.

323
00:33:25,860 --> 00:33:30,530
But please refrain
from excessive violence.

324
00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:36,990
By the way,
may we know your name?

325
00:33:37,450 --> 00:33:38,870
My name?

326
00:33:51,890 --> 00:33:53,680
My name is...

327
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:06,230
Sanjuro Tsubaki...
(30-year-old Camellia)

328
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,610
though I'm now almost 40.

329
00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:13,410
You're a most interesting man.

330
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,290
Speaking of camellias,
those are truly splendid.

331
00:34:21,420 --> 00:34:25,630
Kurofuji's estate has so many
that it's called Camellia Mansion.

332
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,000
Let's see what they're up to.

333
00:34:41,730 --> 00:34:43,190
Anything happening?

334
00:34:47,730 --> 00:34:49,280
It's very quiet.

335
00:35:14,260 --> 00:35:15,680
Who's there?

336
00:35:17,260 --> 00:35:19,060
It's just the camellias.

337
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,810
Why don't you calm down
and have another drink?

338
00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:34,650
But Kurofuji,
what's going to happen?

339
00:35:34,990 --> 00:35:39,330
I doubt Mutsuta will write
a confession so easily.

340
00:35:39,450 --> 00:35:42,910
Leave that to Kikui.
Have a drink.

341
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,000
But Kikui's made
one blunder after another.

342
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,400
Chamberlain Mutsuta
is making trouble.

343
00:36:15,570 --> 00:36:17,660
We underestimated him.
- You mean –

344
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:20,200
No, there's still a way.

345
00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:23,540
We'll use his wife and daughter.

346
00:36:24,540 --> 00:36:27,460
Who's there?
- Muroto.

347
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:43,600
Muroto's reporting
to Kurofuji right now.

348
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:46,060
Telling him he lost my aunt
and Chidori, no doubt.

349
00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:48,890
If he's taking
that report next door,

350
00:36:49,060 --> 00:36:51,110
that means the traitors
are there right now.

351
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:53,610
The three of them
must be hatching a scheme.

352
00:36:53,860 --> 00:36:58,610
If they're in that house,
my uncle must be there too.

353
00:36:59,660 --> 00:37:02,450
You idiot!
What were the guards doing?

354
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:07,460
Now what? We can't use
the women anymore.

355
00:37:07,580 --> 00:37:09,580
Actually, we can.

356
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,290
Mutsuta doesn't know
we lost them.

357
00:37:13,710 --> 00:37:18,010
The problem is,
they must be watching our homes.

358
00:37:18,590 --> 00:37:22,850
They saw you enter.
They'll know we're here.

359
00:37:22,970 --> 00:37:26,220
- We're in danger!
- Don't worry.

360
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:31,690
I sent messengers
to your homes as well.

361
00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:36,780
Something's fishy at Kikui's place.
A man just rushed in.

362
00:37:36,940 --> 00:37:38,360
What?

363
00:37:39,110 --> 00:37:42,780
There's a commotion at Takebayashi's.
A messenger just barreled in.

364
00:37:44,790 --> 00:37:46,870
It seems they're not together.

365
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,410
Then where's my uncle?

366
00:37:49,540 --> 00:37:55,130
They'll eventually have to meet
where they have him confined.

367
00:37:55,250 --> 00:37:56,800
We must wait for now.

368
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,800
Don't just wait.
The chamberlain has disappeared.

369
00:38:01,430 --> 00:38:05,970
Raise a stink so people
demand to know why.

370
00:38:06,890 --> 00:38:12,060
They want to kill him
before that happens. Don't let them.

371
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,610
They'll panic
and have a meeting.

372
00:38:25,490 --> 00:38:27,950
- The emergency drum!
- What's going on?

373
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,540
It's part of our plan.

374
00:38:45,430 --> 00:38:51,310
"We have found that Chamberlain
Mutsuta abused his authority.

375
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:57,190
Accused of malfeasance,
he tried to destroy the evidence.

376
00:38:57,610 --> 00:38:59,480
Therefore,

377
00:38:59,610 --> 00:39:03,450
the elders have sent a messenger
to Edo for instructions

378
00:39:03,610 --> 00:39:08,410
and detained the chamberlain
as a precaution.

379
00:39:08,540 --> 00:39:12,200
He seems to have
many followers.

380
00:39:12,330 --> 00:39:16,290
Remain calm.
Do not let them incite you.

381
00:39:16,420 --> 00:39:18,130
Superintendent Kikui."

382
00:39:23,050 --> 00:39:25,010
They beat us to the punch.

383
00:39:25,340 --> 00:39:27,260
They're clever enemies.

384
00:39:28,050 --> 00:39:30,010
This is bad.

385
00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:34,730
With the clan on their side,
we can't do anything.

386
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:38,230
Whatever we do
only proves their claims.

387
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,360
Meanwhile, they'll have
time to carry out their plan.

388
00:39:42,490 --> 00:39:45,610
They won't make any rash moves.
- Yes, they will.

389
00:39:46,910 --> 00:39:49,620
They don't know
there are only ten of us.

390
00:39:49,740 --> 00:39:52,580
They said "many followers," right?

391
00:39:53,250 --> 00:39:55,660
They can't sit idly by.

392
00:40:00,670 --> 00:40:03,760
At any rate, we've done
everything we could.

393
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:07,720
Relax, Takebayashi.

394
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,220
We must focus
on breaking Mutsuta down.

395
00:40:10,350 --> 00:40:11,760
And his men?

396
00:40:11,930 --> 00:40:14,480
Their hands are tied.

397
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:21,020
That's what worries me.
Desperate men will try anything.

398
00:40:21,150 --> 00:40:23,900
They're too dangerous.
We must act.

399
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:29,620
Very well.
Here's what we'll do.

400
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,450
We'll lure them out
once again, and then –

401
00:40:33,790 --> 00:40:35,080
How will you do that?

402
00:40:35,210 --> 00:40:36,620
There's one way:

403
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,630
Let them know
where the chamberlain is.

404
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,260
As you said,

405
00:40:46,420 --> 00:40:51,140
they're desperate and will try
anything to get him back.

406
00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:53,390
We'll arrest them
when they arrive.

407
00:40:54,140 --> 00:40:57,100
Idiot! Are you mad?

408
00:40:57,230 --> 00:41:00,190
I was afraid it would come to this.
- Listen.

409
00:41:00,650 --> 00:41:03,480
It won't be here, of course.

410
00:41:03,610 --> 00:41:07,360
We can lure them
to a place of our choosing.

411
00:41:07,490 --> 00:41:10,990
We just let them know
where we'll be meeting.

412
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,330
- Never!
- Don't worry. There'll be no danger.

413
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:20,420
Our palanquins will arrive
at the meeting,

414
00:41:20,540 --> 00:41:23,920
but we don't have
to be in them.

415
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,320
They're finally making a move!

416
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,820
I'll follow them.
Tell the others.

417
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,510
Kurofuji left in a palanquin.

418
00:42:19,310 --> 00:42:21,600
Kurofuji's arrived
at Kikui's house.

419
00:42:21,730 --> 00:42:24,150
- Kikui's house?
- That means –

420
00:42:27,530 --> 00:42:29,230
Two palanquins
have left Kikui's.

421
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,110
- Two?
- Kurofuji and Kikui.

422
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,160
Where the hell are they going?

423
00:42:36,660 --> 00:42:38,830
They've entered
Takebayashi's compound.

424
00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:40,790
All three in the same place?

425
00:42:40,910 --> 00:42:42,580
- That means –
- Yes, it must.

426
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,130
Three palanquins
have left Takebayashi's place.

427
00:42:48,250 --> 00:42:51,340
They took the Akamatsu road west.
- West?

428
00:42:51,470 --> 00:42:53,180
Kurofuji's villa is along that road.

429
00:42:53,300 --> 00:42:55,220
That's the place. Let's go!

430
00:42:55,350 --> 00:42:56,640
Wait.

431
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,140
If their men see you,
you're in trouble.

432
00:43:00,270 --> 00:43:04,140
But there's only
one guard per palanquin.

433
00:43:04,270 --> 00:43:09,820
This is fishy. The ten of us
could easily capture them all.

434
00:43:09,940 --> 00:43:11,240
Good idea!

435
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,360
Capture them,
then make 'em talk.

436
00:43:13,490 --> 00:43:17,570
Fool! Doesn't it seem
too good to be true?

437
00:43:18,030 --> 00:43:20,870
And if it seems so,
it usually is.

438
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,580
But we can't
let this chance slip away.

439
00:43:24,750 --> 00:43:27,500
Let's follow them for now.

440
00:43:27,630 --> 00:43:30,460
Circumstances will decide
whether we attack or not.

441
00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:32,590
What do you say?

442
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:37,720
It's a stupid plan, but some excitement
might keep me awake.

443
00:44:27,350 --> 00:44:30,190
- Are they really inside?
- How should he know?

444
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,190
Are there any booby traps?

445
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,440
Idiot! That's even harder to tell.
What about hidden guards?

446
00:44:35,570 --> 00:44:37,490
None at all.

447
00:44:37,610 --> 00:44:39,530
Good, let's attack.

448
00:44:39,700 --> 00:44:41,870
Quickly, before they enter the villa!

449
00:44:42,370 --> 00:44:43,950
Wait.

450
00:44:44,540 --> 00:44:47,040
I don't like the looks of this.

451
00:45:15,650 --> 00:45:17,650
I told you to wait.

452
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:20,860
Something's not right here.
- Shut up!

453
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:24,080
Suit yourselves.
It isn't my problem.

454
00:45:25,410 --> 00:45:27,000
Let's go!

455
00:45:54,650 --> 00:45:56,690
Pardon us.

456
00:45:56,820 --> 00:46:01,950
These seem to be the palanquins
of our clan leaders.

457
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,030
We learned today
of the chamberlain's misdeeds

458
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,910
and that he has many followers.

459
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,710
It's careless to have
so few guards.

460
00:46:11,870 --> 00:46:16,750
We offer you our services.

461
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,510
Surrender!

462
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:24,800
You're under arrest!

463
00:46:24,970 --> 00:46:26,140
Under arrest?

464
00:46:27,180 --> 00:46:31,640
Don't play dumb! Do you claim
not to be the chamberlain's men?

465
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,270
The chamberlain's men?
That's ridiculous!

466
00:46:35,860 --> 00:46:39,150
Your denials ring hollow!
This is all Lord Kikui's trap.

467
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,070
You followed these decoy palanquins
right to your own downfall.

468
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:45,030
Wait.

469
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,840
I'm out of patience.
I've had enough of you idiots.

470
00:47:16,060 --> 00:47:17,480
How did you get out?

471
00:47:19,190 --> 00:47:24,070
I happened to sneeze loudly,
and the lady heard me.

472
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,620
She let me out of the closet.

473
00:47:28,870 --> 00:47:30,830
This fool's wearing my best kimono.

474
00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:33,080
I apologize.
She let me wear it.

475
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,080
But why didn't you escape?

476
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:43,720
It never occurred to the lady
that I would, so I couldn't.

477
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,600
Also, I've overheard
your discussions since last night,

478
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:51,720
and they contradict
everything I've been told.

479
00:47:52,060 --> 00:47:53,850
I've learned a great deal.

480
00:48:00,230 --> 00:48:01,650
Now, if you'll excuse me.

481
00:48:11,370 --> 00:48:14,660
The lady is hopelessly naïve.

482
00:48:15,620 --> 00:48:17,920
She's a little slow, that's all.

483
00:48:20,380 --> 00:48:24,710
So you mean the horsemen
weren't the conspirators?

484
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,260
Yes.

485
00:48:28,010 --> 00:48:29,760
We know that...

486
00:48:31,260 --> 00:48:34,930
because we released them,
but they refused to go.

487
00:48:35,940 --> 00:48:41,860
They even went to the estate,
demanding an explanation.

488
00:48:46,490 --> 00:48:50,240
Trapped by your own little tricks!

489
00:48:50,370 --> 00:48:53,910
You've made yet more enemies.

490
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,790
I wonder about that.

491
00:48:56,410 --> 00:49:00,380
They were coming
to our defense.

492
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:06,670
If we explain why we used the decoys,
they may agree to help us.

493
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:07,920
What do you think?

494
00:49:08,180 --> 00:49:12,600
Indeed.
They're proud of their skills

495
00:49:12,810 --> 00:49:14,970
and will gladly
use them to aid us.

496
00:49:15,140 --> 00:49:16,480
Good.

497
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,520
Add them to my roster
and send them here.

498
00:49:20,020 --> 00:49:25,650
This isn't like you.
That will reveal that we're here.

499
00:49:26,780 --> 00:49:29,150
And why not?

500
00:49:30,570 --> 00:49:32,240
It's time for a showdown.

501
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:47,510
We've come as far as we can.

502
00:49:49,340 --> 00:49:52,140
Judging from those horsemen,

503
00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:55,100
the clan members
are all on the traitors' side.

504
00:49:55,310 --> 00:49:56,930
That's right.

505
00:49:57,180 --> 00:49:59,680
We're as good as dead.

506
00:50:00,190 --> 00:50:02,900
We don't stand a chance, do we?

507
00:50:03,230 --> 00:50:07,900
It doesn't matter. Live or die,
the nine of us are together.

508
00:50:08,490 --> 00:50:10,240
Ten of us.

509
00:50:16,290 --> 00:50:18,200
I'll go see Kikui.

510
00:50:19,660 --> 00:50:21,830
What for?

511
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,920
To offer my services.

512
00:50:24,540 --> 00:50:27,090
Muroto kindly offered me a job.

513
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:45,270
- Where are you going?
- After him.

514
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,900
- To see what he's up to.
- What if he betrays us?

515
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:49,860
Idiots!

516
00:50:50,740 --> 00:50:53,200
Why tell us his plan
if he intends to betray us?

517
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,030
Muroto's invitation allows him
to look around the grounds.

518
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,120
- I agree.
- Me too.

519
00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:01,410
- Shut up, little boy!
- No! He would never do that to us!

520
00:51:01,540 --> 00:51:04,250
I'd like to think so too,
but the way he said it –

521
00:51:04,420 --> 00:51:07,670
He was just provoking us.
That's how he is.

522
00:51:08,750 --> 00:51:10,550
It's true.

523
00:51:10,670 --> 00:51:14,010
But you never know
what he'll do.

524
00:51:15,010 --> 00:51:16,340
He's a monster!

525
00:51:39,990 --> 00:51:44,160
- What the hell do you want?
- Tell Muroto I'm here.

526
00:51:44,290 --> 00:51:46,170
He's busy!

527
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,620
So you made it!

528
00:52:26,500 --> 00:52:28,250
I've been waiting for you.

529
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,090
But I hear you're busy.
I'll come again.

530
00:52:34,380 --> 00:52:36,590
I don't mind. Come in.

531
00:52:45,270 --> 00:52:47,520
I don't care what you say.
I trust him.

532
00:52:47,690 --> 00:52:50,400
Think how many times
he's saved our lives!

533
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,980
It doesn't mean
he'll do it again!

534
00:52:53,110 --> 00:52:55,360
Why should we mean
anything to him?

535
00:52:55,530 --> 00:52:58,070
He has to worry about himself.

536
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,530
He has a job waiting
if he turns us in.

537
00:53:01,660 --> 00:53:05,500
How dare you! He may dress in rags,
but he's a true samurai.

538
00:53:05,710 --> 00:53:09,710
Look how he thrashed Kikui's men!
- Quiet!

539
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,960
He begged us for money.
A samurai would starve rather than beg.

540
00:53:15,090 --> 00:53:18,930
He's just outspoken
and a bit eccentric.

541
00:53:19,050 --> 00:53:21,010
I refuse to doubt him.

542
00:53:21,180 --> 00:53:23,930
He's a good man.
I don't care what logic says.

543
00:53:24,060 --> 00:53:28,100
You're the lady's kin.
You'll trust anyone, but –

544
00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:29,940
What is it?

545
00:53:35,230 --> 00:53:40,530
You were shouting so loudly.
Mother sent me to ask what's wrong.

546
00:53:40,910 --> 00:53:42,570
Nothing.

547
00:53:44,330 --> 00:53:45,240
But –

548
00:53:45,410 --> 00:53:46,540
It's nothing!

549
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,010
Excuse me.

550
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,640
I've been listening carefully
from the closet.

551
00:54:07,770 --> 00:54:10,440
- Get back in there!
- In a moment.

552
00:54:10,900 --> 00:54:14,110
I trust that ronin as well.

553
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,820
Please listen.

554
00:54:16,610 --> 00:54:21,360
It may sound strange,
but when the lady climbed the wall,

555
00:54:21,610 --> 00:54:25,990
he got on all fours
to serve as her footstool.

556
00:54:26,290 --> 00:54:30,790
He was moved by her purity of soul.
That alone shows he's a good man.

557
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:35,170
Nonsense!
He called her "a little slow."

558
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:40,050
As someone said,
that's just his odd way of speaking.

559
00:54:40,170 --> 00:54:42,880
His praise comes out as abuse.

560
00:54:48,470 --> 00:54:51,520
- Now you understand?
- No, I don't!

561
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:54,310
- You still insist?
- Enough talk!

562
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,360
We're following him.
He's dangerous.

563
00:54:57,610 --> 00:54:59,650
We mustn't fight
among ourselves.

564
00:54:59,820 --> 00:55:03,030
Our judgment will be skewed
if only the doubters go.

565
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,990
Let's take two from each side.

566
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,660
Yasukawa and Kawahara,
Izaka and Hirose.

567
00:55:43,030 --> 00:55:47,870
The household is nearly empty,
so we can't welcome you properly.

568
00:55:48,490 --> 00:55:51,330
But we can still share a drink.

569
00:55:55,830 --> 00:55:57,710
I'm grateful.

570
00:55:58,710 --> 00:56:04,130
With your help,
we'll see some real results.

571
00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:08,090
You came just in time.

572
00:56:09,220 --> 00:56:11,060
I saw the notice board.

573
00:56:11,220 --> 00:56:14,230
It seems
there's unrest in the clan.

574
00:56:15,060 --> 00:56:19,440
A large contingent of men just left.
Where did they go?

575
00:56:19,940 --> 00:56:22,190
I'll take you there now.

576
00:56:25,450 --> 00:56:30,240
Just so you know, everything
in that notice was a bald-faced lie.

577
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,830
Superintendent Kikui
is the rotten one.

578
00:56:35,500 --> 00:56:38,210
- But you're his –
- Retainer.

579
00:56:38,330 --> 00:56:42,090
Like attracts like.
I'm rotten too.

580
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,600
You see, Chamberlain Mutsuta
is a shrewd character.

581
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:53,770
Not easy to break.

582
00:56:53,970 --> 00:56:59,100
But with him out of the way,
this clan is ours for the taking.

583
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:03,480
Kikui is cunning,
but not a commanding presence.

584
00:57:03,730 --> 00:57:06,110
He pushes Mutsuta
out of the way –

585
00:57:07,110 --> 00:57:09,110
And you and I eat him up.

586
00:57:09,660 --> 00:57:11,370
Precisely.

587
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,160
I'll take you to him now.

588
00:57:18,330 --> 00:57:21,960
But remember:
He has an inflated view of himself, so –

589
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,210
Stroke his ego and he'll purr?

590
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,800
You catch on fast. Good boy.

591
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:52,910
Someone's following us.

592
00:57:55,450 --> 00:57:57,540
Turn right at the corner.

593
00:58:33,450 --> 00:58:34,660
Take them alive!

594
00:58:43,580 --> 00:58:44,790
Fool! What's this?

595
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,800
I was against it,
but they said you'd betray us.

596
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,300
Idiot! Now you'll have
to give yourself up.

597
00:58:51,430 --> 00:58:55,090
Muroto's coming. Attack me!
Don't just stand there!

598
00:58:57,220 --> 00:58:58,310
Come on!

599
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,900
This greenhorn here
put up a good fight.

600
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:16,450
A fine present.
He's the leader of the resistance.

601
00:59:16,580 --> 00:59:18,740
Izaka, the chamberlain's nephew.

602
00:59:35,090 --> 00:59:37,510
They make a good present,

603
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,680
but they're too heavy
to carry to Kikui.

604
00:59:59,830 --> 01:00:01,410
Take them away.

605
01:00:03,790 --> 01:00:05,290
Get up!

606
01:00:12,460 --> 01:00:17,340
We should take more men.
The others will try to rescue these four.

607
01:00:17,470 --> 01:00:20,180
We're defenseless on the road.

608
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:22,560
Very well.

609
01:00:31,940 --> 01:00:34,320
Bring reinforcements quickly.

610
01:00:36,780 --> 01:00:38,740
It's not safe to go alone.

611
01:00:38,910 --> 01:00:40,450
Take two men with you.

612
01:00:52,380 --> 01:00:55,300
Three's not enough.
I'll go too.

613
01:01:15,650 --> 01:01:17,490
I'm going with you.

614
01:01:35,550 --> 01:01:38,380
It's me! Open up!

615
01:01:40,970 --> 01:01:41,930
What happened?

616
01:01:42,050 --> 01:01:44,850
Those three are already dead.

617
01:01:50,690 --> 01:01:52,400
It must have been them.

618
01:01:57,610 --> 01:02:00,360
I'll go instead. Where is it?

619
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:04,240
Nobody knows you there.
I'll go. You take charge here.

620
01:02:59,090 --> 01:03:01,670
We've had enough
of your trouble.

621
01:03:14,150 --> 01:03:15,600
What are you doing?

622
01:03:16,820 --> 01:03:18,940
Can't you tell?

623
01:03:19,110 --> 01:03:21,280
I'm setting them free.

624
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,590
This butchery
is all thanks to you.

625
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,310
Tie me up!

626
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:12,300
We're too late. Ten men stay
to clean up. The rest hurry back.

627
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:40,670
What's this mess?

628
01:05:40,790 --> 01:05:42,590
I expected more from you.

629
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:44,750
I'm deeply ashamed.

630
01:05:45,380 --> 01:05:50,180
But when you're that outnumbered,
you can only surrender.

631
01:05:52,470 --> 01:05:57,520
I'm not bound by duty
to die like these guys here.

632
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,350
This isn't good.

633
01:06:01,940 --> 01:06:05,980
I can't recommend you
after a disgrace like this.

634
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:08,740
I'm sorry.

635
01:06:10,410 --> 01:06:13,700
But I remember
that greenhorn's face.

636
01:06:14,450 --> 01:06:16,990
I'll redeem myself
by bringing him to you.

637
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,510
You're all so damned clever!

638
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,930
You ruined my well-laid plan.

639
01:06:32,090 --> 01:06:36,140
And you still don't know
where Kikui's huge army went.

640
01:06:39,180 --> 01:06:41,690
What a life of leisure!

641
01:06:41,850 --> 01:06:45,860
At this rate,
by the time you find Mutsuta,

642
01:06:46,070 --> 01:06:49,900
I'll be a silver-haired
70-year-old.

643
01:06:58,700 --> 01:07:00,750
How beautiful!

644
01:07:00,870 --> 01:07:05,920
This water comes
from the Camellia Mansion next door.

645
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,420
How do you know that?

646
01:07:08,670 --> 01:07:13,300
I once heard Terada tell Iori,

647
01:07:14,550 --> 01:07:18,890
"They say stealing another's water
is wrong even if you're parched,

648
01:07:19,140 --> 01:07:23,730
but I'm drinking the water
of that blackguard Kurofuji."

649
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:31,530
Look.

650
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:40,080
Iori's name is on that paper.

651
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,210
I see Terada's name too.

652
01:07:43,330 --> 01:07:47,130
What's that red blot?

653
01:07:48,750 --> 01:07:52,010
- It's signed in blood!
- Blood?

654
01:07:53,090 --> 01:07:54,680
Iori!

655
01:07:58,350 --> 01:08:00,430
Not so loud!
Kurofuji is next door.

656
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,140
But you should see this.
Shouldn't he, Mother?

657
01:08:04,270 --> 01:08:06,310
What is that?

658
01:08:25,790 --> 01:08:30,130
So Uncle tore up our petition,
then placed it in his sleeve.

659
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,090
He wore the same kimono
when Kikui abducted him

660
01:08:35,930 --> 01:08:38,640
as when I met
with him earlier that day.

661
01:08:39,970 --> 01:08:41,430
Right?

662
01:08:44,890 --> 01:08:46,480
That means –

663
01:08:47,230 --> 01:08:49,900
Look what I found in the stream!

664
01:08:50,020 --> 01:08:52,520
Pieces of the torn petition.

665
01:08:53,900 --> 01:08:56,650
No doubt about it.

666
01:08:56,820 --> 01:08:58,910
Uncle is next door.

667
01:08:59,820 --> 01:09:05,040
In order to protect us,
fools that we are,

668
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,830
he seized a moment
when his captors weren't looking

669
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,920
and threw these in the stream.

670
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,180
Aren't you tired
of being stupid yet?

671
01:09:22,010 --> 01:09:26,230
You want to attack?
That's what they're waiting for.

672
01:09:28,270 --> 01:09:32,900
Don't you get it?
Kikui's men are next door.

673
01:09:33,530 --> 01:09:35,570
Take a look if you doubt me.

674
01:10:20,700 --> 01:10:23,070
- He wrote it?
- Finally?

675
01:10:43,050 --> 01:10:44,550
What is this?

676
01:10:44,970 --> 01:10:46,850
This isn't a confession!

677
01:10:47,270 --> 01:10:48,770
It's an indictment!

678
01:10:48,930 --> 01:10:52,270
The skunk!
How long will he keep this up?

679
01:10:53,020 --> 01:10:54,270
What now?

680
01:11:06,580 --> 01:11:08,660
There are a great many of them.

681
01:11:17,460 --> 01:11:19,000
What do we do?

682
01:11:19,130 --> 01:11:21,800
They overestimate our number,
which is worse.

683
01:11:21,930 --> 01:11:23,590
That's it!

684
01:11:23,930 --> 01:11:28,140
I'll go tell them
I know where you are.

685
01:11:30,430 --> 01:11:35,190
They overestimate
the size of your group.

686
01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:39,020
If I say an army
has assembled somewhere,

687
01:11:40,570 --> 01:11:43,200
Kikui will send his men there.

688
01:11:43,820 --> 01:11:46,200
The house will be empty,

689
01:11:46,700 --> 01:11:49,330
leaving you free to raid it.

690
01:11:51,580 --> 01:11:54,500
Where shall I say you are?

691
01:11:54,750 --> 01:11:58,670
Another shrine would be boring.
How about a temple?

692
01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:05,260
I'll say I was snoozing on the second floor
of the gate and heard you swarm in.

693
01:12:05,470 --> 01:12:08,300
Not a bad plan, eh?
You know a good temple?

694
01:12:10,430 --> 01:12:15,190
Far enough away to give you time
to rescue the chamberlain.

695
01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:20,570
Komyo Temple.
A good distance, and very secluded.

696
01:12:20,690 --> 01:12:23,490
Good. Komyo Temple it is.

697
01:12:24,650 --> 01:12:26,240
But listen.

698
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:31,370
Even after Kikui's men leave,
wait for my signal.

699
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,080
Once you're inside,
rescue him quickly.

700
01:12:35,210 --> 01:12:37,620
They're still willing to kill him
as a last recourse.

701
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,510
There's no other way.

702
01:12:56,900 --> 01:12:59,230
We must turn
to our last recourse.

703
01:13:01,730 --> 01:13:03,400
Understand?

704
01:13:04,110 --> 01:13:08,910
Wait until I signal
that it's safe to rescue him.

705
01:13:09,070 --> 01:13:10,870
We understand.
What's the signal?

706
01:13:10,990 --> 01:13:13,790
Wait until I've set
the house ablaze.

707
01:13:13,910 --> 01:13:16,960
Goodness, no!
That's too reckless.

708
01:13:19,710 --> 01:13:21,750
I have an idea.

709
01:13:23,590 --> 01:13:27,050
Send something down the stream.

710
01:13:27,590 --> 01:13:32,260
We'll watch the stream
and see your signal for sure.

711
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:37,770
My dear,
that's a marvelous idea.

712
01:13:38,190 --> 01:13:40,980
Such a beautifully gentle approach.

713
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:45,440
Mother, since it's
from Camellia Mansion,

714
01:13:45,940 --> 01:13:48,450
wouldn't camellias be nice?

715
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,280
Red camellias...

716
01:13:52,450 --> 01:13:54,740
how lovely that would be.

717
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:59,920
I rather prefer white myself.

718
01:14:01,460 --> 01:14:04,960
What's the difference?
It's all camellias.

719
01:14:05,090 --> 01:14:07,340
But sometimes
they fall in naturally.

720
01:14:07,470 --> 01:14:09,800
I'll dump in a pile of 'em.

721
01:14:30,820 --> 01:14:32,360
Open up!

722
01:14:32,740 --> 01:14:34,660
I want to see Muroto.

723
01:14:46,210 --> 01:14:47,380
Bad news!

724
01:14:47,510 --> 01:14:51,840
Komyo Temple's gate
doesn't have a second story!

725
01:14:51,970 --> 01:14:55,100
They'll see
right through his story!

726
01:15:05,980 --> 01:15:08,360
How did you know I was here?

727
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:13,450
I heard the superintendent's men
were here.

728
01:15:13,570 --> 01:15:15,820
I assumed you would be too.

729
01:15:19,540 --> 01:15:21,410
What do you want?

730
01:15:23,710 --> 01:15:25,670
I brought you a nice gift.

731
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,300
I was asleep on the second floor
of the gate at Komyo Temple...

732
01:15:43,770 --> 01:15:47,150
- What'll we do?
- It's too late.

733
01:15:47,270 --> 01:15:50,150
We didn't catch
the mistake right off.

734
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,150
Maybe they won't either.

735
01:15:55,820 --> 01:15:57,990
I'll have a look.

736
01:16:04,830 --> 01:16:06,830
Wait in here for now.

737
01:17:03,980 --> 01:17:07,480
- What? 130 men at Komyo Temple?
- So he says.

738
01:17:07,650 --> 01:17:13,070
- Who's this ronin asleep above the gate?
- Never mind that now.

739
01:17:13,230 --> 01:17:16,740
Kikui, we can't afford
another failure.

740
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,910
Very well.
I'll go myself this time.

741
01:17:36,630 --> 01:17:39,680
We're going to Komyo Temple.
You're coming with us.

742
01:17:43,390 --> 01:17:47,020
Actually, I haven't
eaten since yesterday.

743
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,690
I can't fight
on an empty stomach.

744
01:17:50,230 --> 01:17:51,940
Give me something to eat.

745
01:17:52,770 --> 01:17:55,360
I'll catch up with you
after I've eaten.

746
01:18:29,020 --> 01:18:31,980
It worked! The men have left!

747
01:18:32,100 --> 01:18:34,110
- You sure?
- Even Kikui was on his horse.

748
01:18:34,230 --> 01:18:36,860
- Kikui left too?
- He was livid!

749
01:19:29,540 --> 01:19:31,370
Thank you for your patience.

750
01:19:31,500 --> 01:19:35,130
I want to eat alone.
Scram. it's cramped in here.

751
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,440
What are you doing?

752
01:20:40,860 --> 01:20:43,400
I like camellias.

753
01:20:45,610 --> 01:20:47,280
Enough games!

754
01:20:58,580 --> 01:21:00,130
Wait a minute!

755
01:21:00,290 --> 01:21:04,050
The gate at Komyo Temple –
It's all a lie!

756
01:21:19,060 --> 01:21:21,360
Is anybody here?

757
01:21:26,530 --> 01:21:29,570
It's a trap! That temple gate
has no second floor!

758
01:21:29,700 --> 01:21:31,990
Call your men back!
It's a trap!

759
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,500
There's blood on your sword,
and it's fresh.

760
01:21:35,620 --> 01:21:38,210
You tricked me last night,
you scum.

761
01:21:38,330 --> 01:21:40,920
You can question him later!
Hurry!

762
01:22:06,860 --> 01:22:08,900
You guys are done for.

763
01:22:10,820 --> 01:22:12,700
No, you are.

764
01:22:13,990 --> 01:22:17,450
Poor fools, you have no idea.

765
01:22:18,460 --> 01:22:21,290
They'll be attacking soon.

766
01:22:21,460 --> 01:22:22,830
Who?

767
01:22:23,170 --> 01:22:26,420
The conspirators, of course.

768
01:22:28,010 --> 01:22:32,470
They're next door,
waiting for my signal.

769
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:37,600
Without my signal to abort,
you'll be dead before the army returns.

770
01:22:41,020 --> 01:22:43,730
Take a look
if you don't believe me.

771
01:23:15,850 --> 01:23:19,100
- Still no signal?
- What's taking him so long?

772
01:23:19,270 --> 01:23:22,230
If something's happened to him,
he can't signal.

773
01:23:22,390 --> 01:23:25,360
- What shall we do?
- We can't wait.

774
01:23:26,270 --> 01:23:27,820
Let's attack!
- But...

775
01:23:34,660 --> 01:23:36,370
We can't wait!

776
01:23:36,620 --> 01:23:40,580
Hold on! We always botch things
by ignoring his orders.

777
01:23:40,700 --> 01:23:42,790
Let's wait for the signal.

778
01:23:52,050 --> 01:23:56,470
It's just as he said!
We have to do something quick!

779
01:23:57,470 --> 01:23:59,760
See? You'd better hurry.

780
01:24:00,390 --> 01:24:03,690
But I'll make you an offer.

781
01:24:03,810 --> 01:24:06,730
I'll tell you the signal
for fifty ryo.

782
01:24:07,230 --> 01:24:10,360
Gramps, they were
watching the stream, right?

783
01:24:11,570 --> 01:24:12,570
He's right.

784
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,110
You'd better hurry and send
something down the stream.

785
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:22,750
He had a lot of red camellias
when he was caught!

786
01:24:24,500 --> 01:24:26,830
What are they the signal for?

787
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,750
- Give me fifty ryo.
- Tell us or we'll kill you!

788
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:35,050
Okay, 30.

789
01:24:35,590 --> 01:24:38,680
All right, I'll tell you.

790
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,350
Red camellias mean to attack.

791
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,100
White means to abort.

792
01:24:45,310 --> 01:24:49,900
No signal means I'm in trouble,
and they'll attack.

793
01:24:51,900 --> 01:24:53,610
Don't forget: the white ones!

794
01:24:59,330 --> 01:25:01,030
Hurry!

795
01:25:03,790 --> 01:25:06,410
Don't be stingy! Pile them in!

796
01:25:28,650 --> 01:25:30,020
The signal!

797
01:25:31,230 --> 01:25:33,020
How beautiful!

798
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:40,910
What a close call!

799
01:25:42,870 --> 01:25:46,790
Thanks for your help, fellas!
The color made no difference.

800
01:25:46,910 --> 01:25:51,330
130 men are on their way!
Flap around all you like!

801
01:25:56,420 --> 01:25:58,970
Don't kill them!

802
01:26:17,700 --> 01:26:20,570
Open up! It's Muroto!

803
01:26:20,740 --> 01:26:22,870
Open the gate!

804
01:27:04,070 --> 01:27:05,830
It's all over.

805
01:27:51,540 --> 01:27:53,120
This one's late.

806
01:27:53,290 --> 01:27:56,790
What was his name again?
- Tsubaki.

807
01:27:57,630 --> 01:28:01,210
Forgetting the name of the man
who saved your life –

808
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:04,800
that's awful.
- Yes, I know.

809
01:28:06,050 --> 01:28:08,350
Dear, will you ask him
to come in?

810
01:28:09,470 --> 01:28:12,060
Let him know everyone is waiting.

811
01:28:23,650 --> 01:28:27,450
Let's get this unpleasant subject
over with now.

812
01:28:28,660 --> 01:28:32,120
The traitors
have been sentenced.

813
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:40,130
Kikui chose to commit harakiri
soon after the incident.

814
01:28:41,510 --> 01:28:43,260
A regrettable turn of events.

815
01:28:44,970 --> 01:28:47,890
Like the other two, his family name
would have been revoked,

816
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:50,850
and he and his household banished,

817
01:28:51,010 --> 01:28:56,810
but I could have at least
had his life spared.

818
01:29:00,270 --> 01:29:06,070
I had hoped to deal
with the corruption more discreetly.

819
01:29:07,610 --> 01:29:11,870
I'd planned to gather
evidence of their traitorous intent

820
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:16,040
and force them to retire quietly.

821
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:20,630
Forgive us.

822
01:29:20,750 --> 01:29:23,880
No need to apologize.

823
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:28,970
I'm at fault for not inspiring
your confidence.

824
01:29:29,090 --> 01:29:35,020
This long horse face of mine
causes all sorts of trouble.

825
01:29:38,440 --> 01:29:40,730
A long time ago,

826
01:29:40,860 --> 01:29:46,530
someone saw me on horseback
and said,

827
01:29:46,990 --> 01:29:50,780
"The rider has a longer face
than the horse!"

828
01:30:07,930 --> 01:30:09,930
- He's gone.
- Gone?

829
01:30:10,050 --> 01:30:13,430
I found only this kimono
in his room.

830
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,060
So he left in his rags?

831
01:30:16,930 --> 01:30:20,480
Gentlemen, please break
into groups and find him.

832
01:30:20,650 --> 01:30:21,850
Quickly!

833
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:37,370
Thank goodness he won't return.

834
01:30:38,250 --> 01:30:40,370
Thank goodness?

835
01:30:40,500 --> 01:30:44,130
He's a great man.

836
01:30:44,290 --> 01:30:50,300
But extraordinary men like him
just make me look bad.

837
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:53,720
Listen.

838
01:30:54,470 --> 01:31:00,230
He would find it
too confining here.

839
01:31:02,020 --> 01:31:04,270
He wouldn't want
to wear these fine garments

840
01:31:05,270 --> 01:31:09,490
and be a docile servant
of the clan.

841
01:31:18,950 --> 01:31:22,000
- I don't see him anywhere.
- The guard said he went west.

842
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,330
Then it has to be this road.

843
01:31:30,590 --> 01:31:32,760
There he is!

844
01:31:41,810 --> 01:31:44,600
Go home. I'm not going back.

845
01:31:52,150 --> 01:31:55,240
- You insist on fighting?
- Yes.

846
01:31:55,870 --> 01:32:00,290
I've never been so outraged.
You made a fool of me.

847
01:32:00,950 --> 01:32:02,790
Don't get so angry.

848
01:32:03,290 --> 01:32:04,960
I had to do it.

849
01:32:06,210 --> 01:32:09,380
I knew you were stronger than me,
so I had to –

850
01:32:09,550 --> 01:32:12,470
It's too late for words. Draw!

851
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:16,760
I'd rather not.

852
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:20,140
If I do, one of us must die.

853
01:32:20,310 --> 01:32:22,140
It's not worth it.

854
01:32:23,140 --> 01:32:24,770
It is to me.

855
01:32:25,980 --> 01:32:29,730
Otherwise I can
never be at peace.

856
01:32:32,690 --> 01:32:34,280
Very well.

857
01:32:35,410 --> 01:32:39,080
But even if you kill me,

858
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,450
you mustn't kill them.

859
01:32:42,750 --> 01:32:45,120
No matter what,
you all stay out of this!

860
01:33:54,860 --> 01:33:56,240
That was brilliant!

861
01:33:57,950 --> 01:34:00,740
Idiot!
What do you know about anything?

862
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:13,420
Be careful.

863
01:34:15,300 --> 01:34:17,340
I'm in a bad mood.

864
01:34:30,650 --> 01:34:33,020
He was just like me.

865
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:38,530
A drawn sword
that wouldn't stay in its sheath.

866
01:34:39,820 --> 01:34:43,910
But you know,
the lady was right.

867
01:34:44,530 --> 01:34:47,830
The best sword
is kept in its sheath.

868
01:34:50,710 --> 01:34:53,210
You'd better stay in yours.

869
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:06,930
Stop following me
or I'll kill you!

870
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:34,420
See ya around.

871
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:47,760
THE END
