Here! Come on!

5
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:40,632
Oh, no! You can't bring a cart
like that on board!

6
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:42,173
I shall not.

7
00:01:16,376 --> 00:01:17,502
Fancy that!

8
00:01:52,745 --> 00:01:54,804
Will you stop crying like a baby?

9
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:58,181
You've got clothes,

10
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:04,382
eat fancy food, wear fancy outfits
and make a good living.

11
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:05,890
Aren't I right?

12
00:02:06,192 --> 00:02:08,786
Careful! Forget it!
You've nothing worth saving.

13
00:02:08,895 --> 00:02:11,693
Forget it. Omatsu!

14
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:33,311
Thank you.

Directed by Kenji Misumi

28
00:06:51,677 --> 00:06:56,705
Don't you get any classy women
or young girls coming this way?

29
00:06:56,816 --> 00:07:01,719
No need to be so impatient.
It's not like we're in a hurry.

30
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:05,757
Why don't we take our time and
find some women along the way?

31
00:07:05,858 --> 00:07:07,883
Yeah, exactly.

32
00:07:07,994 --> 00:07:11,862
Joy is to be found
in the moments between jobs.

33
00:07:11,964 --> 00:07:15,593
Once we're hired, though,
we can't get away with much.

34
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:19,870
It really is hot!

35
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:23,901
How about having a drink with us,
Kanbei?

36
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:26,736
No thanks.

37
00:07:27,947 --> 00:07:29,881
Don't be like that.

38
00:07:31,884 --> 00:07:34,478
Join us, just for a drink.

39
00:07:35,655 --> 00:07:37,179
Drink!

40
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:44,653
You're a strange fellow.

41
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:48,127
You don't drink,


you don't chase women.

42
00:07:49,869 --> 00:07:53,965
Why, then, are you a hired hand?
What's in it for you?

43
00:07:55,908 --> 00:08:00,868
Look, we hired hands are


in the employ of one lord today

44
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:02,641
and another one tomorrow.

45
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:04,579
We're just hired to guard them

46
00:08:04,684 --> 00:08:07,915
as they travel between Edo
and their fiefs.

47
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:11,046
Nothing but a bunch
of temporary hirelings.

48
00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,717
Even if we wanted positions
as normal samurai,

49
00:08:14,827 --> 00:08:19,264
the lords are poor and can't afford
to give us a yearly stipend.

50
00:08:19,565 --> 00:08:23,968
So we're only hired when they need
extra men for special occasions.

51
00:08:25,137 --> 00:08:27,537
There's prestige in being able
to carry two swords,

52
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,905
but it doesn't mean
you're better than anyone else.

53
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:34,839
You may have been
a fine samurai before,

54
00:08:34,947 --> 00:08:37,973
but now you're just a hired hand.

55
00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:41,144
Why don't you take it easy
and have some fun?

56
00:08:41,254 --> 00:08:45,190
You make it difficult for us
when you act so po-faced!

57
00:08:45,291 --> 00:08:49,785
Chasing women is the best part
of being in our line of work.

58
00:08:51,163 --> 00:08:54,724
If we didn't have that pleasure,

59
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:59,533
we'd have thrown away
our swords a long time ago.

60
00:09:00,172 --> 00:09:04,609
And the great things is,
with all the women out on the road,

61
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:08,976
we can screw around as much
as we want

62
00:09:09,081 --> 00:09:11,606
and get away with it!

63
00:09:11,717 --> 00:09:13,947
No matter what,

64
00:09:14,053 --> 00:09:19,184
everything's fine once we're in
the retinue of the daimyo who's hired us.

65
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:21,658
Kanbei, come and join us!

66
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:24,855
Oh! Fortune comes to those who wait!

67
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:19,947
What do you want?

68
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:25,382
We're hired hands.

69
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:29,194
Hired hands?

70
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:31,855
Yeah, that's what we are.

71
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:34,890
If it's money you want,
I'll give it to you.

72
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:37,993
We don't want no stinking money.
We aren't bandits.

73
00:10:38,104 --> 00:10:40,698
We won't steal anything.
We just want to screw you.

74
00:10:40,806 --> 00:10:42,068
Stop!

75
00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:46,301
It's not like you're going
to lose anything at all.

76
00:10:46,412 --> 00:10:49,176
The more you use it,
the better it gets!

77
00:10:49,281 --> 00:10:51,806
- No!
- We're doing you a favour!

78
00:10:51,917 --> 00:10:55,284
Somebody! Somebody, help!

79
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:02,854
Help! Mother!

80
00:11:04,130 --> 00:11:06,155
I'll report this to the Deputy!

81
00:11:07,266 --> 00:11:11,100
What's going to happen
if you report us to the Deputy?

82
00:11:11,203 --> 00:11:16,163
Because before you can do that,
we'll be long gone.

83
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:20,043
So fuck the Deputy, I say!

84
00:11:20,146 --> 00:11:24,207
- Come here.
- Help, somebody!

85
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:27,845
Why don't you just give up
and let us have you?

86
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:31,889
Close your eyes for 1 5 minutes
and it'll all be over.

87
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:35,084
Somebody help! Let me go!

88
00:11:37,096 --> 00:11:38,927
No! No!

89
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:41,995
Please, not my daughter!

90
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:45,736
No!

91
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,177
Let me go!

92
00:11:57,316 --> 00:11:58,783
Let me go!

93
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:04,345
Help!

94
00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:16,062
How's this?

95
00:12:35,187 --> 00:12:36,916
You scum!

96
00:12:40,192 --> 00:12:43,992
You scum! How could you do this
to my lady and her mother?

97
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,426
I'll slice you to death!

98
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:57,509
-I'll kill you!
-Wait!

99
00:12:59,211 --> 00:13:02,203
If you touch us, do you know
what will happen to you?

100
00:13:02,314 --> 00:13:07,149
Exactly! We're employed
by Lord Mizuno of the Kariya Clan.

101
00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:11,121
Your actions are unforgivable!
I don't care if you work for Lord Mizuno!

102
00:13:11,223 --> 00:13:13,123
I'll kill you all!

103
00:13:13,859 --> 00:13:15,258
Stop! Stop!

104
00:13:18,564 --> 00:13:21,397
-Kanbei!
-Help us!

105
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,559
Damn you!

106
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:44,953
Please close your eyes.

107
00:13:53,966 --> 00:13:55,399
Kanbei?

108
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:58,061
-You didn't have to kill them.
-This is awful.

109
00:14:12,484 --> 00:14:14,475
Each of you, take one.

110
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:18,523
If you don't,
I'll slay all three of you.

111
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:39,207
You die, Jukkan.

112
00:14:40,946 --> 00:14:42,914
Why just me?

113
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:44,983
You picked the short straw.

114
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,220
You'll be the thief who attacked a mother
and daughter and their companion.

115
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:56,957
After killing the three of them,

116
00:14:57,062 --> 00:15:01,260
you were slain by the three of us,
who happened to be passing by.

117
00:15:01,367 --> 00:15:05,667
That way, the local officers will
be satisfied and all will be settled.

118
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:09,975
Help me!

119
00:15:39,271 --> 00:15:43,298
I regret that you had to witness
this awful scene. Forgive me.

120
00:15:43,409 --> 00:15:46,640
You act more like a samurai
than a hired hand.

121
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:50,575
"Like a samurai"?

122
00:15:51,583 --> 00:15:56,418
I was once in charge of the Okaga
Clan of the Maruoka Fief in Echizen.

123
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:59,082
My name is Kanbei Magomura.

124
00:15:59,191 --> 00:16:01,250
If I may ask, what is yours?

125
00:16:02,394 --> 00:16:04,385
My name is ltto Ogami.

126
00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:07,255
Just as I thought.

127
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,097
You were once the Official
Executioner of the Shogunate.

128
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:20,368
I recall seeing you this past year
inside the gates of Edo Castle.

129
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:23,607
I, too, recall hearing your name.

130
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:28,142
I understand you're a matchless master
of the Kage Style.

131
00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:30,084
You're too kind, sir.

132
00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:34,455
A fine warrior of your calibre,
why are you a hired hand?

133
00:16:35,427 --> 00:16:37,452
We need not concern ourselves
with that.

134
00:16:37,563 --> 00:16:40,225
For now, I'd like to request a duel.

135
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:41,560
For what reason?

136
00:16:42,568 --> 00:16:46,265
Because you have witnessed
what I've done here.

137
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:53,201
Whether or not I'm a hired hand,

138
00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:56,213
as long as you know who's hired me,

139
00:16:56,315 --> 00:17:02,515
then I must protect my master
and his clan, like any warrior would,

140
00:17:02,621 --> 00:17:06,250
even if it means
putting my life on the line.

141
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:08,053
Having said that,

142
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,720
I am following
the Way of the Warrior.

143
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:16,724
And so, I am requesting a duel.

144
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:22,330
If I let you leave,

145
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:28,108
if I let you live on...

146
00:17:29,681 --> 00:17:33,583
No, even if it was done


to preserve my master's honour,

147
00:17:33,685 --> 00:17:35,482
by killing those innocent people,

148
00:17:35,587 --> 00:17:37,782
I have strayed
from the Way of the Warrior.

149
00:17:38,590 --> 00:17:41,457
Once again,
please accept my challenge.

150
00:17:43,595 --> 00:17:46,621
Hey, Kanbei is calling you out!

151
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:52,266
-Why don't you have a duel?
-Answer us?

152
00:17:52,371 --> 00:17:54,601
Silence! He's not your opponent!

153
00:18:12,524 --> 00:18:15,550
If perchance I should prevail,

154
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:21,725
rest assured that I will take care
of your son as long as I breathe.

155
00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:25,661
I ask that there be no need
for such concerns.

156
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:30,875
We, father and son,


live the life of demons.

157
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:35,706
We're prepared to cross
to the netherworld.

158
00:18:36,648 --> 00:18:38,639
You live the life of demons?

159
00:18:39,818 --> 00:18:41,843
I am inspired by your words.

160
00:18:43,155 --> 00:18:47,558
If I am fated to die here,


I shall do so without regret.

161
00:18:49,328 --> 00:18:51,296
Well, then.

162
00:18:51,396 --> 00:18:53,364
Let us begin.

163
00:19:25,397 --> 00:19:27,490
This duel...

164
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:30,635
...we'll call it a draw.

165
00:19:32,304 --> 00:19:33,896
For what reason?

166
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:37,403
You are a true warrior,


one whom I hope will live on.

167
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:47,783
"A true warrior"?

168
00:20:03,502 --> 00:20:06,494
Once again,
I have lost a chance to die.

169
00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:11,859
Taste good?

170
00:21:12,537 --> 00:21:15,301
I bet you've not had rice that often.

171
00:21:15,841 --> 00:21:18,605
Women are flowers,


and they ought to bloom.

172
00:21:20,045 --> 00:21:22,013
Instead of scratching out a living
like poor farmers,

173
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:25,806
Iike flowers, you ought to bloom
and bring delight to men.

174
00:21:25,917 --> 00:21:28,681
That's a better life, I'd say.

175
00:21:38,063 --> 00:21:40,463
Your feet must hurt.
It's been a long trip.

176
00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:43,295
All right, just wait a minute.

177
00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:48,061
When your feet are tired,

178
00:21:49,775 --> 00:21:56,544
at such times, applying salt and then
warming them over a fire will help a lot.

179
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:58,813
Here we are...

180
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:01,385
Let me see your legs.

181
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:03,351
Come on!

182
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:07,619
If you get tired and become unable
to walk, I'll be in deep trouble.

183
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:11,389
So just be still. It won't take long
to make them better.

184
00:22:16,968 --> 00:22:19,664
What's wrong with you?

185
00:22:39,725 --> 00:22:40,987
Stop!

186
00:22:47,399 --> 00:22:48,957
-Be quiet!
-No!

187
00:22:49,067 --> 00:22:52,366
I bought you, you belong to me!

188
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:55,738
I can use you however I please!

189
00:24:30,068 --> 00:24:32,730
There's blood on you.

190
00:25:01,733 --> 00:25:03,758
Room inspection!

191
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:06,898
Please excuse us.

192
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:13,844
There's been a murder.

193
00:25:13,945 --> 00:25:18,245
We're searching for a female culprit.
We must check this room, too.

194
00:25:20,986 --> 00:25:22,283
Wait.

195
00:25:23,588 --> 00:25:27,024
What if the culprit isn't found in here?

196
00:25:28,293 --> 00:25:34,027
We're here to conduct an investigation.
Do you wish to make a complaint?

197
00:25:34,132 --> 00:25:36,259
This is not a complaint.

198
00:25:38,303 --> 00:25:42,672
Even though this is an inn,
as long as I've paid for this room,

199
00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:46,200
this is my home, this is my castle.

200
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:51,908
Whether you're officers or not,
you must respect that.

201
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:57,052
That is what I am asking of you.

202
00:25:57,155 --> 00:26:00,750
A damned ronin like you
shouldn't talk to me like that!

203
00:26:07,899 --> 00:26:10,299
What if the suspect is in there?

204
00:26:12,837 --> 00:26:15,704
It's equally criminal
to hide a suspect, is it not?

205
00:26:15,807 --> 00:26:17,206
Exactly!

206
00:26:23,615 --> 00:26:25,981
Allow me to check.

207
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:30,914
If she's not here,


then you can have my head.

208
00:26:31,022 --> 00:26:32,717
No complaints!

209
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:48,728
-What's this?
-He's been a bad boy.

210
00:26:56,214 --> 00:26:59,980
Your head....I'll claim it now.

211
00:27:04,022 --> 00:27:05,353
Move aside!

212
00:27:26,177 --> 00:27:28,008
It's safe to leave.

213
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:31,038
Thank you very much, sir!

214
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:35,949
We all walk along different paths
in life.

215
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:39,746
For my boy, there's his way.

216
00:27:41,126 --> 00:27:45,688
For you, there's a way that
you must pave for yourself.

217
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:54,402
Go now.

218
00:27:54,706 --> 00:27:56,196
Yes, sir.

219
00:28:17,128 --> 00:28:18,686
Thank you.

220
00:28:36,414 --> 00:28:38,882
There she is! Hold her down!

221
00:28:38,983 --> 00:28:40,245
Wait!

222
00:28:45,423 --> 00:28:49,291
This room belongs to the samurai.
We must show respect.

223
00:28:50,095 --> 00:28:52,825
-Don't act so carelessly.
-Yes, madam.

224
00:28:57,235 --> 00:29:00,966
My name is Torizo
of the Koshio family.

225
00:29:02,807 --> 00:29:05,298
We run the entertainment district
from here to Kariya.

226
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:09,437
We're "Bohachimono", merchants


specialising in adult entertainments.

227
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:14,481
That girl was the property
of our man, Monkumatsu.

228
00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:19,753
We'd appreciate it
if you'd hand her over to us.

229
00:29:31,136 --> 00:29:32,364
I refuse.

230
00:29:33,505 --> 00:29:35,837
Honourable samurai...

231
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:41,003
...we are what the public
refer to as "Bohachimono".

232
00:29:42,814 --> 00:29:44,782
Do you know what that means?

233
00:29:46,484 --> 00:29:49,453
The Bohachimono have lost
all traces of eight things,

234
00:29:49,554 --> 00:29:54,856
piety, respect, honest, trust, justice,
courtesy, uprightness and shame.

235
00:29:55,794 --> 00:30:02,791
In other words,


we're a group of ruthless outcasts.

236
00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:12,298
Win or lose, in the end,


opposing us is a fool's game.

237
00:30:14,078 --> 00:30:17,275
In any case, you won't be
dishonouring yourself in the slightest

238
00:30:17,382 --> 00:30:19,179
by handing the girl over to us.

239
00:30:19,951 --> 00:30:23,512
Therefore, I ask for your cooperation.

240
00:30:29,427 --> 00:30:34,160
After all,


she murdered Monkumatsu.

241
00:30:40,071 --> 00:30:41,561
I said that I refuse.

242
00:30:49,214 --> 00:30:51,842
Because of that memorial tablet
you were carrying,

243
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:54,043
this samurai felt compelled
to protect you.

244
00:30:54,986 --> 00:30:57,181
Now, come with us.

245
00:31:05,296 --> 00:31:07,856
Why can't you be more cooperative?

246
00:31:07,966 --> 00:31:09,957
If you persist in this folly,

247
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:15,233
the samurai and his child
will have to die for you.

248
00:31:17,508 --> 00:31:22,969
It is the code of the Bohachimono
not to cause any harm to good people.

249
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:28,276
As you've been bought,
you're one of us now.

250
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:30,377
Come with us now!

251
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:56,614
If you won't hand her over...

252
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:59,509
-Enough!
-You don't seem to understand me.

253
00:32:03,221 --> 00:32:06,213
This is what we get
for being polite to people.

254
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,192
You'd sacrifice both yourself
and your child just to save this girl?

255
00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:16,690
Why do you insist?

256
00:32:17,035 --> 00:32:20,061
We're bound by the evil
of a memorial tablet.

257
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:23,267
Because of one such similar tablet,

258
00:32:23,374 --> 00:32:26,537
I have lost much of what
gave meaning to my life.

259
00:32:28,346 --> 00:32:30,541
That is the reason why.

260
00:32:51,336 --> 00:32:53,531
-Kill him!
-Wait!

261
00:32:54,739 --> 00:32:57,105
You are all dear to me,

262
00:32:57,208 --> 00:33:00,143
I couldn't let you face
such a master swordsman.

263
00:33:30,074 --> 00:33:32,167
Honourable samurai...

264
00:33:32,276 --> 00:33:36,508
as Bohachimono,


we have our pride, too.

265
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,775
We can't leave things
unsettled like this.

266
00:33:39,083 --> 00:33:44,282
Yet I can't sacrifice my men
over a mere girl.

267
00:33:45,256 --> 00:33:46,780
Let us do this...

268
00:33:47,725 --> 00:33:52,094
The girl becomes a woman
when she serves her first customer.

269
00:33:52,196 --> 00:33:56,530
Her debut, as we like to call it,


will bring us a lot of money.

270
00:33:56,634 --> 00:34:01,594
So, we can let her go, as soon
as she fulfils this obligation.

271
00:34:02,140 --> 00:34:03,664
Well?

272
00:34:04,675 --> 00:34:06,506
I refuse.

273
00:34:07,545 --> 00:34:11,413
If you find that unacceptable,
there remains only one way.

274
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:14,084
She must fulfil her obligation

275
00:34:14,185 --> 00:34:18,417
by undergoing water torture
and beating.

276
00:34:19,657 --> 00:34:23,559
Though this might kill her.

277
00:34:23,661 --> 00:34:26,562
I'll endure the torture
on her behalf.

278
00:34:26,664 --> 00:34:27,824
But...

279
00:34:28,132 --> 00:34:30,532
It's said that
to help a sick colleague

280
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:33,798
a prostitute would take over
her responsibilities.

281
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:37,439
There's no rule that
a substitute can't volunteer.

282
00:34:38,776 --> 00:34:40,471
What if...

283
00:34:40,578 --> 00:34:45,413
What if we decide to kill you
along the way?

284
00:34:45,516 --> 00:34:47,347
What would you do?

285
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:51,511
If that is to be my fate,
only time will tell.

286
00:34:51,622 --> 00:34:54,182
Life or death,


only fate can decide this.

287
00:35:30,428 --> 00:35:32,419
Begin!

288
00:36:20,878 --> 00:36:22,607
Now, beat him.

289
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:39,655
Honourable sir!

290
00:38:10,354 --> 00:38:11,719
Pa.

291
00:38:12,757 --> 00:38:15,851
He's not just strong,
he's got real spirit.

292
00:38:16,761 --> 00:38:20,561
It was us who were scared, not him.

293
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:24,328
He didn't even let out a single groan.

294
00:38:27,338 --> 00:38:30,330
I thought real samurai like him
were no more...

295
00:38:31,575 --> 00:38:33,805
...but they still exist in this world.

296
00:38:33,911 --> 00:38:35,378
Right.

297
00:39:12,516 --> 00:39:17,419
We've settled the matter
of her becoming a prostitute.

298
00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:23,587
But one thing remains,
the fact that she killed Monkumatsu.

299
00:39:25,563 --> 00:39:27,030
What is it you want?

300
00:39:31,669 --> 00:39:35,935
If you do a favour for me,
then we'll be even.

301
00:39:38,509 --> 00:39:39,601
Ogami-san...

302
00:39:41,545 --> 00:39:44,571
While we were torturing you,

303
00:39:45,082 --> 00:39:47,448
I suddenly remembered something.

304
00:39:47,952 --> 00:39:50,614
That the Shogun's Official Executioner,

305
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:53,053
after confronting the Yagyu Clan,

306
00:39:53,157 --> 00:39:57,685
was now roaming the countryside as
an assassin called Lone Wolf and Cub.

307
00:40:12,743 --> 00:40:14,005
This way.

308
00:40:23,954 --> 00:40:26,047
The honourable ltto Ogami is here.

309
00:40:27,124 --> 00:40:28,682
Help me up.

310
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:49,004
I am Tatewaki Miura, the former


Chief Vassal of the Kakegawa Clan.

311
00:40:53,818 --> 00:40:57,982
To tell you the truth,
I have been looking for you.

312
00:41:04,862 --> 00:41:06,921
I'm sure that you remember.

313
00:41:07,932 --> 00:41:11,993
You are the one
who cut off his left arm.

314
00:41:14,672 --> 00:41:19,632
The Official Executioner
of the Shogunate, ltto Ogami.

315
00:41:27,651 --> 00:41:32,179
Our Lord Fujishige Miyake
suddenly became demented

316
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:35,050
and went on a rampage.

317
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:38,856
Many of my fellow vassals
were killed,

318
00:41:38,963 --> 00:41:45,232
and therefore the Shogunate
ordered him to commit seppuku.

319
00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:58,814
No! No!

320
00:42:01,752 --> 00:42:03,982
I don't want to die!

321
00:42:04,088 --> 00:42:07,649
Lord, please remain silent!

322
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:10,988
Lord!

323
00:42:13,797 --> 00:42:15,162
Let me go!

324
00:42:22,907 --> 00:42:25,000
That hurts! It hurts!

325
00:42:27,244 --> 00:42:28,711
Now!

326
00:42:31,916 --> 00:42:33,941
Now! Now!

327
00:42:37,855 --> 00:42:41,052
Please, please, just proceed!

328
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:46,860
No!

329
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:07,310
What is your relationship
to Lord Miura?

330
00:43:11,855 --> 00:43:14,153
I apologise for not
mentioning this sooner.

331
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:18,854
I am his daughter.

332
00:43:23,667 --> 00:43:27,159
I am Tori, the younger of twins.

333
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,969
Twins are undesirable and despised.

334
00:43:32,076 --> 00:43:38,140
A certain woman with strong ties
to the Koshio family raised me.

335
00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:44,380
My sister had served the Lord closely,

336
00:43:45,656 --> 00:43:48,386
and because she had learned
his secrets,

337
00:43:48,692 --> 00:43:51,923
Chamberlain Genba Sawatari
raped her to obtain them.

338
00:43:53,197 --> 00:43:57,133
Soon after,


she committed suicide.

339
00:44:03,641 --> 00:44:05,802
What do you want from me?

340
00:44:05,909 --> 00:44:08,309
We want you to slay him,

341
00:44:08,412 --> 00:44:12,007
Genba Sawatari,


presently the Deputy of Totomi.

342
00:44:13,317 --> 00:44:15,808
I ask that you tell me your reason.

343
00:44:15,919 --> 00:44:20,356
Genba used our clan as a pawn
and then destroyed us.

344
00:44:21,859 --> 00:44:25,158
He's now the Deputy of Totomi,

345
00:44:25,262 --> 00:44:30,131
but he was once
our clan's chamberlain.

346
00:44:30,234 --> 00:44:32,998
I'm sure that you understand.

347
00:44:33,103 --> 00:44:40,669
For his own personal gain, he had
the temerity to secretly report

348
00:44:40,778 --> 00:44:43,747
our lord's derangement
to the Elder ltakura.

349
00:44:43,847 --> 00:44:47,749
When our clan fell, the Shogunate
took control of our territory,

350
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:50,752
and he was then
awarded the post of Deputy.

351
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:54,255
He's worse than a beast!

352
00:44:56,226 --> 00:45:01,357
When I think about the 400 samurai
now without a master,

353
00:45:01,465 --> 00:45:04,195
as the former Chief Vassal,


I feel so helpless.

354
00:45:04,301 --> 00:45:07,168
I can't die, even if I wanted to.

355
00:45:10,107 --> 00:45:12,905
Please.
I ask that you carry out our request.

356
00:45:15,379 --> 00:45:19,076
I accept, for 500 gold pieces.

357
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:41,502
Totomi Springs: 1 league

358
00:48:16,526 --> 00:48:21,554
When ltto Ogami saw the demonic
amulets that we'd placed,

359
00:48:22,232 --> 00:48:25,633
he made these signs to guide us
to the meeting place.

360
00:48:28,272 --> 00:48:31,036
Our responsibilities are grave.
Do you understand?

361
00:48:35,612 --> 00:48:39,548
I am Officer Junai Asada
of the Totomi Deputy's Office.

362
00:48:41,184 --> 00:48:43,243
I am ltto Ogami.

363
00:48:43,353 --> 00:48:49,690
There is a matter which Deputy Genba
wishes to discuss with you,

364
00:48:50,928 --> 00:48:54,364
and I have been ordered to escort you
to the Deputy's office.

365
00:48:54,464 --> 00:48:56,932
That is why we're here.

366
00:48:57,034 --> 00:48:59,229
The Deputy wants to see me personally?

367
00:48:59,336 --> 00:49:00,530
Y es, sir.

368
00:49:02,072 --> 00:49:04,302
Please come with us.

369
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,457
Will he come?

370
00:49:29,132 --> 00:49:31,396
There'll be trouble if he doesn't.

371
00:49:34,972 --> 00:49:38,499
If he doesn't, we'll take the matter


into our own hands.

372
00:49:52,723 --> 00:49:56,022
If you'll permit me to explain,
Honourable Elder.

373
00:49:57,694 --> 00:50:00,754
If there existed a clan lord
unable to govern his people,

374
00:50:02,065 --> 00:50:04,397
a lord without a successor,

375
00:50:05,502 --> 00:50:08,767
furthermore,


one who has murdered many,

376
00:50:09,473 --> 00:50:12,271
if this lord were also a madman,

377
00:50:13,543 --> 00:50:19,607
how would you, sir, or the Shogunate
handle such a case?

378
00:50:24,054 --> 00:50:29,754
If I told you that it would be possible
for you to destroy such a clan,

379
00:50:31,228 --> 00:50:37,098
what would you do, Honourable Elder
ltakura Naizen-no-sho?

380
00:50:37,501 --> 00:50:39,492
And the clan is...?

381
00:50:39,603 --> 00:50:42,663
That I cannot reveal.

382
00:50:45,475 --> 00:50:48,103
Just where do you think you are?

383
00:50:50,747 --> 00:50:56,379
If it turns out that what you're telling me
is a hoax...

384
00:50:58,522 --> 00:51:01,184
Sir, I will stake my life on it.

385
00:51:02,526 --> 00:51:05,689
What is it that you seek?

386
00:51:07,497 --> 00:51:09,124
The post of District Deputy.

387
00:51:11,234 --> 00:51:16,365
And to have you, the honourable Elder,
put that in writing.

388
00:51:21,144 --> 00:51:23,237
You ask for this, but without proof.

389
00:51:23,346 --> 00:51:28,283
I shall return with the proof, sir,
once I have your written guarantee.

390
00:51:49,873 --> 00:51:51,807
Very well.

391
00:52:19,736 --> 00:52:21,636
I'll be blunt with you.

392
00:52:22,572 --> 00:52:26,406
I want you to kill the Elder
ltakura Naizen-no-sho.

393
00:52:28,612 --> 00:52:31,479
He'll be in this region any day now.

394
00:52:31,581 --> 00:52:37,383
After all, it was l, the new Deputy,
who extended an invitation to him.

395
00:52:42,659 --> 00:52:45,287
500 gold pieces in advance.

396
00:52:46,463 --> 00:52:50,832
And when you are done, 500 more.

397
00:52:53,203 --> 00:52:57,264
It was ltakura who allied himself
with the Yagyu Clan to topple you.

398
00:52:58,642 --> 00:53:01,475
I am sure you bear a grudge against him.

399
00:53:01,578 --> 00:53:07,210
I believe that this is your chance
for revenge. Well?

400
00:53:08,485 --> 00:53:10,510
I must refuse.

401
00:53:19,696 --> 00:53:21,687
Wait!

402
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:27,630
Now that you know our intentions,
we cannot let you leave alive.

403
00:53:28,538 --> 00:53:30,631
I shall return at a later date.

404
00:54:43,780 --> 00:54:45,771
Why didn't you slay him?

405
00:54:47,684 --> 00:54:51,780
There were two of you.
Why couldn't you kill him?

406
00:54:51,888 --> 00:54:54,686
If I'd attacked him,

407
00:54:55,892 --> 00:54:59,555
his torso-cutting sword would have
pierced right through you, sir.

408
00:55:00,697 --> 00:55:04,565
It would have been the same
if Kuchiki had fired.

409
00:55:07,771 --> 00:55:09,830
Ogami's skills are to be feared.

410
00:55:28,825 --> 00:55:32,591
I wonder why he refused, though.

411
00:55:36,666 --> 00:55:39,897
He could have refused
before being escorted here.

412
00:55:41,037 --> 00:55:43,767
Why didn't he refuse until he met me?

413
00:55:45,475 --> 00:55:48,933
Maybe the mention of Elder
ltakura's name frightened him...

414
00:55:54,384 --> 00:55:56,545
Itakura Naizen-no-sho.

415
00:56:09,532 --> 00:56:11,898
If it's me that he's after,

416
00:56:12,802 --> 00:56:15,498
if it's an assassination plot...

417
01:00:04,601 --> 01:00:10,631
He carried a firearm
on his person at all times.

418
01:00:12,909 --> 01:00:17,778
He even presented me with one
for my own protection.

419
01:00:20,149 --> 01:00:23,949
I'm afraid this may be
the handiwork of ltto Ogami.

420
01:00:26,055 --> 01:00:29,183
The Sui-O School
horse-slaying technique.

421
01:00:31,628 --> 01:00:34,062
So it was ltakura Naizen-no-sho
after all.

422
01:00:34,998 --> 01:00:37,865
He has hired Ogami to kill me.

423
01:00:40,103 --> 01:00:42,731
Samon, can you kill him?

424
01:00:48,077 --> 01:00:51,103
Using my lchiden style
sword-drawing technique,

425
01:00:52,682 --> 01:00:54,115
I'll stake my life on it.

426
01:00:57,086 --> 01:01:01,989
Close all the roads
and find ltto at any cost!

427
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,320
Do not let him escape
from our territory.

428
01:01:06,429 --> 01:01:08,056
Yes, sir!

429
01:01:09,232 --> 01:01:11,166
Junai...

430
01:01:12,235 --> 01:01:14,965
Send a messenger at once to Edo,

431
01:01:15,071 --> 01:01:17,403
to Lord Retsudo
of the Shadow Yagyu clan.

432
01:01:20,143 --> 01:01:22,441
For Ogami's head,

433
01:01:23,446 --> 01:01:26,244
the Yagyu Clan will pay
almost any price.

434
01:01:27,417 --> 01:01:29,783
If we deliver it,

435
01:01:29,886 --> 01:01:34,050
those shadowy manipulators
of the nation will be indebted to us.

436
01:01:34,757 --> 01:01:39,353
Then being made a Provincial Officer
or Commissioner would be a trifle...

437
01:01:41,230 --> 01:01:45,326
...and the road to power
within the Shogunate would be open.

438
01:04:08,110 --> 01:04:11,944
For the late Master Ozunu,


leader of the Kurokuwa group!

439
01:04:13,049 --> 01:04:15,017
Itto Ogami!

440
01:05:00,296 --> 01:05:01,627
Kill him!

441
01:05:59,989 --> 01:06:02,321
This is the work of ltto Ogami.

442
01:07:49,598 --> 01:07:52,761
I am Samon lkiji
of the Tamiya lchiden Style.

443
01:07:54,170 --> 01:07:58,300
I am ltto Ogami, Sui-O Style.

444
01:08:57,466 --> 01:08:59,297
Junai?

445
01:09:00,669 --> 01:09:03,604
Request assistance
from the Kariya Clan at once.

446
01:09:03,706 --> 01:09:07,608
Tell them that we require only
their most able warriors.

447
01:09:08,310 --> 01:09:12,144
One more thing. Post public notices
at all district offices.

448
01:09:14,316 --> 01:09:18,446
In order to lure ltto Ogami
to Jizogahara.

449
01:09:25,561 --> 01:09:29,361
Anyone confident
in his swordsmanship?

450
01:09:30,332 --> 01:09:32,596
Well? No one?

451
01:09:34,170 --> 01:09:35,899
What for?

452
01:09:36,205 --> 01:09:40,665
Well, some assassin has entered


the territory of an adjacent fief,

453
01:09:40,776 --> 01:09:45,440
and he's stalking their Deputy,
so we're giving them some support.

454
01:09:46,582 --> 01:09:51,212
The pay's good. Well? Speak up!

455
01:09:55,858 --> 01:09:59,624
-What is the assassin's name?
-That much I don't know.

456
01:10:00,863 --> 01:10:03,195
Are you going or not?

457
01:10:08,571 --> 01:10:10,732
Very well. I'll go.

458
01:11:22,678 --> 01:11:26,444
He doesn't stand a chance.

459
01:11:26,548 --> 01:11:29,745
So why does he keep advancing?

460
01:11:29,852 --> 01:11:34,482
He's not running away or trying to hide
from the muskets and arrows facing him.

461
01:11:52,341 --> 01:11:53,569
Daigoro...

462
01:11:54,943 --> 01:11:56,934
We are at the crossroads to hell.

463
01:12:00,316 --> 01:12:02,375
Archers!

464
01:12:07,956 --> 01:12:09,514
Daigoro!

465
01:12:12,728 --> 01:12:14,719
Musketeers!

466
01:12:21,870 --> 01:12:22,996
Fire!

467
01:13:09,118 --> 01:13:11,109
Charge!

468
01:16:28,183 --> 01:16:31,209
How remarkable that
you have triumphed here.

469
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,346
How remarkable that
you're still alive, ltto Ogami.

470
01:16:34,656 --> 01:16:39,992
However, you and your child
will not live to see another sunrise.

471
01:16:40,796 --> 01:16:45,130
There is no escape for you
from the Yagyu Clansmen!

472
01:17:43,859 --> 01:17:45,383
Lord Ogami,

473
01:17:46,094 --> 01:17:49,962
you are an assassin,
you receive money to kill.

474
01:17:51,199 --> 01:17:55,260
I am a hired hand,


I receive money for my services.

475
01:17:57,205 --> 01:18:01,232
What is the way of the "True Warrior"
that you spoke of?

476
01:18:02,678 --> 01:18:05,374
And does such a warrior exist?

477
01:18:06,882 --> 01:18:10,147
I am prepared to stake my life
in search of the answer.

478
01:18:11,086 --> 01:18:13,748
Once again, I request a duel.

479
01:18:16,091 --> 01:18:17,422
I accept.

480
01:18:26,702 --> 01:18:28,033
Let us begin.

481
01:20:49,544 --> 01:20:51,068
A moment...

482
01:20:56,017 --> 01:20:59,145
There's one thing I must ask you.

483
01:21:01,890 --> 01:21:03,016
Speak.

484
01:21:05,927 --> 01:21:07,394
This past year,

485
01:21:08,230 --> 01:21:13,327
my Lord Munetada had been
offered the post of Elder

486
01:21:14,069 --> 01:21:16,094
and was on his way to Edo.

487
01:21:23,879 --> 01:21:28,043
We were attacked by a mob of ronin.

488
01:21:31,086 --> 01:21:37,423
It was a plot by those who opposed
my lord's promotion to Elder.

489
01:21:39,661 --> 01:21:43,961
We were greatly outnumbered,
so in order to mount a defence

490
01:21:44,065 --> 01:21:47,057
our best hope lay in a bold attack.

491
01:21:48,670 --> 01:21:51,161
I ran forth to slay them.

492
01:22:26,041 --> 01:22:31,069
I fought with all my might
and drove the enemy back.

493
01:22:32,647 --> 01:22:37,983
But the fact that I had advanced
to slay them, leaving my lord's side,

494
01:22:38,086 --> 01:22:41,522
was judged undutiful and unworthy
of a samurai.

495
01:22:42,991 --> 01:22:46,950
Before I realised it.


I had become a disgrace to my clan.

496
01:22:52,968 --> 01:22:55,061
I was dedicated to my lord,

497
01:22:56,104 --> 01:22:59,232
I had risked my life
to protect him,

498
01:22:59,341 --> 01:23:02,003
and he expelled me from the clan.

499
01:23:08,183 --> 01:23:11,619
What was the way of the true warrior?

500
01:23:12,554 --> 01:23:15,114
To die defending my lord,

501
01:23:15,223 --> 01:23:19,717
even when it was clear
that it was a hopeless cause?

502
01:23:22,364 --> 01:23:24,457
The Way of the Warrior,

503
01:23:24,566 --> 01:23:26,557
it is not about how one lives,

504
01:23:27,602 --> 01:23:29,763
but how one dies, surely?

505
01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:35,534
Lord Ogami, will you tell me?

506
01:23:37,545 --> 01:23:39,672
What is the true Way of the Warrior?

507
01:23:42,484 --> 01:23:44,008
Lord Ogami...

508
01:23:45,553 --> 01:23:47,783
...what is the true...?

509
01:23:49,724 --> 01:23:56,027
The true Way of the Warrior is...
to live to die.

510
01:23:58,066 --> 01:24:00,193
"To live to die."

511
01:24:02,637 --> 01:24:05,606
If I had been in your position...

512
01:24:08,510 --> 01:24:11,138
...I would certainly have attacked.

513
01:24:15,316 --> 01:24:20,344
It heartens me
to hear those words from you.

514
01:24:48,383 --> 01:24:49,577
Lord Ogami...

515
01:24:51,786 --> 01:24:54,755
...would you allow a lowly being
such as myself...

516
01:24:56,424 --> 01:25:01,691
...to request that you, once the Official
Executioner, act as my second?

517
01:25:03,264 --> 01:25:05,664
For those who know
the true Way of the Warrior...

518
01:25:06,734 --> 01:25:08,429
...rank does not exist.

519
01:25:09,838 --> 01:25:11,533
I shall grant your request.

520
01:25:35,830 --> 01:25:37,821
Finally, I can die...

521
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:41,732
...as a warrior with no regrets!

522
01:26:03,892 --> 01:26:05,655
I am ready.

523
01:26:51,206 --> 01:26:55,233
No, you mustn't go, my lady!
Please don't go!

524
01:26:55,843 --> 01:26:57,743
He isn't human!

525
01:26:57,845 --> 01:26:59,779
He's a monster! My lady!

526
01:27:29,911 --> 01:27:36,578
Crows cried in the night

527
01:27:37,986 --> 01:27:43,754
"Someone is going to die"

528
01:27:46,427 --> 01:27:51,922
From the netherworlds
come the gods of death

529
01:27:54,535 --> 01:27:59,700
The Wolf and his Cub

530
01:28:01,409 --> 01:28:07,541
The wolves are coming

531
01:28:10,551 --> 01:28:16,615
Their footsteps approach

532
01:28:18,826 --> 01:28:25,356
The Wolf and Cub are coming

533
01:28:27,035 --> 01:28:29,629
They're coming

534
01:28:31,572 --> 01:28:35,668
They're coming

535
01:28:51,326 --> 01:28:54,318
The End
