1
00:00:15,958 --> 00:00:16,958
Mama.
2
00:00:18,583 --> 00:00:20,958
They came for me, like you said.
3
00:00:22,916 --> 00:00:23,916
The bad men.
4
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:26,458
It was my fault.
5
00:00:27,416 --> 00:00:29,416
[theme music swelling]
6
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:31,458
I'm sorry I'm a monster, Mama.
7
00:00:33,541 --> 00:00:35,000
I'll avenge us, Mama.
8
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:37,500
I swear it.
9
00:00:40,416 --> 00:00:42,083
If it takes all my life.
10
00:00:44,666 --> 00:00:46,041
If it takes my death.
11
00:00:47,625 --> 00:00:48,958
I swear it, Mama.
12
00:00:50,666 --> 00:00:51,666
I swear it.
13
00:00:52,333 --> 00:00:54,000
[music crescendos, fades]
14
00:00:55,583 --> 00:00:56,583
[Ringo] Master?
15
00:00:58,208 --> 00:00:59,208
Master!
16
00:01:02,750 --> 00:01:04,083
[Mizu] He'll be here soon.
17
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:06,250
Fowler.
18
00:01:07,708 --> 00:01:10,125
You're sure you can find Akemi
before they come?
19
00:01:11,333 --> 00:01:12,333
I have to.
20
00:01:13,208 --> 00:01:14,625
I promised you I would.
21
00:01:16,166 --> 00:01:17,166
Are you ready?
22
00:01:17,750 --> 00:01:20,083
[breathes deeply]
23
00:01:20,166 --> 00:01:22,708
Get to the north sewer.
Make sure we can get through.
24
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:25,916
Wait till I see Akemi
and take her far from the castle.
25
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:27,541
Do not die.
26
00:01:27,625 --> 00:01:29,375
If you get caught by swordsmen?
27
00:01:29,458 --> 00:01:30,958
The Falcon's Dive.
28
00:01:31,041 --> 00:01:32,708
If you get caught by spearmen?
29
00:01:33,291 --> 00:01:34,291
Run.
30
00:01:37,666 --> 00:01:38,666
Master.
31
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:41,333
What about Fowler's army?
32
00:01:42,583 --> 00:01:43,708
Not my concern.
33
00:01:44,625 --> 00:01:46,000
Only his death matters.
34
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:49,041
But what if they kill the shogun?
35
00:01:50,041 --> 00:01:54,958
Shogun Itoh allowed white men into Japan
for his own gain against his own laws.
36
00:01:56,041 --> 00:01:57,708
He deserves whatever comes.
37
00:02:00,541 --> 00:02:01,541
Ringo.
38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,708
After I kill Fowler, I'll find you here.
39
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:07,875
- If I don't come back…
- Of course you will.
40
00:02:07,958 --> 00:02:09,083
If I don't…
41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,750
I failed, or I'm dead.
42
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:16,875
Don't be silly, Master.
43
00:02:17,583 --> 00:02:18,625
You can't die.
44
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:21,333
You don't know how.
45
00:02:24,916 --> 00:02:27,791
[theme music intensifies]
46
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:36,791
[music ends]
47
00:02:42,375 --> 00:02:43,791
[yawns]
48
00:02:45,208 --> 00:02:47,791
Of all the indignities Father dumps on us,
49
00:02:47,875 --> 00:02:51,833
this fat, white, overcooked dumpling
50
00:02:52,458 --> 00:02:53,458
is the worst.
51
00:02:55,541 --> 00:02:57,833
[stammers] A… necessary evil.
52
00:02:59,708 --> 00:03:02,875
Ah, the dumpling is served.
53
00:03:13,583 --> 00:03:18,041
I thought hard on the right gift
for your father this pilgrimage.
54
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:22,416
What do you get
for the man who gets everything?
55
00:03:23,125 --> 00:03:26,916
Crass, I know, but for once,
I thought I'd dispense with metaphor
56
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:30,083
and just bring the thing itself.
57
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:33,125
Your father thinks of me
and thinks of the gold I bring.
58
00:03:33,208 --> 00:03:35,375
Here it is. Here I am.
59
00:03:37,666 --> 00:03:41,208
My father extends his gratitude
for our continued alliance.
60
00:03:41,791 --> 00:03:43,333
[Fowler] Alliance?
61
00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:48,333
I made your father
the second-richest man in the world.
62
00:03:51,666 --> 00:03:53,916
The shogun… [stammers] … thanks you.
63
00:03:54,875 --> 00:03:57,083
D… D… D… Does he?
64
00:03:57,583 --> 00:03:59,083
[Fowler chuckles]
65
00:03:59,875 --> 00:04:03,458
Each year,
I come to pay obeisance at his throne
66
00:04:03,541 --> 00:04:06,458
only to be shunted to this lovely hill.
67
00:04:06,541 --> 00:04:10,250
Used to be his advisers
who'd accept my gifts on behalf.
68
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:12,916
Now I get his strapping sons.
69
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,291
I don't suppose this year,
70
00:04:15,375 --> 00:04:18,666
I might be allowed
to meet the man in person
71
00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:22,791
face-to-face after all these years.
72
00:04:25,208 --> 00:04:26,541
It would be difficult.
73
00:04:28,458 --> 00:04:29,458
You understand.
74
00:04:30,041 --> 00:04:33,166
There's a grand party
ripening down there as we speak.
75
00:04:33,250 --> 00:04:36,625
The Council of Elders
at the height of the Spring Matsuri.
76
00:04:36,708 --> 00:04:39,708
The high lords feasting, drinking.
77
00:04:39,791 --> 00:04:41,375
Heady affairs of state.
78
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,750
Mustn't I rate a seat
at that table this time?
79
00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:49,166
As I said,
80
00:04:50,750 --> 00:04:52,083
it would be difficult.
81
00:04:54,625 --> 00:04:55,750
Of course.
82
00:04:57,041 --> 00:05:00,333
Until… next year then.
83
00:05:00,916 --> 00:05:02,916
[ominous music accelerates]
84
00:05:08,416 --> 00:05:09,791
[music fades]
85
00:05:10,333 --> 00:05:13,583
[chirping]
86
00:05:15,791 --> 00:05:20,583
Our finest Nishijin brocade
woven with gold for Shogun Itoh.
87
00:05:26,625 --> 00:05:28,875
[Shogun Itoh] Enough gifts for now.
88
00:05:28,958 --> 00:05:31,208
We have currency value to discuss.
89
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:35,000
[Shindo] One more gift, if you'll permit.
90
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,166
Carved from rhinoceros horn.
91
00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:41,083
A male, a feared pack leader
92
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:45,041
known to have sired 50 young
from 40 females.
93
00:05:45,625 --> 00:05:48,000
A worthy cup for the shogun.
94
00:05:50,458 --> 00:05:53,000
[serene music swelling]
95
00:05:54,208 --> 00:05:55,833
[crowd gasps]
96
00:06:02,791 --> 00:06:04,000
[Shindo] An auspicious sign.
97
00:06:05,041 --> 00:06:07,750
Blessings conferred
over the Council of Elders.
98
00:06:20,916 --> 00:06:22,333
[door opens]
99
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:24,750
[scoffs]
100
00:06:25,583 --> 00:06:29,125
I'd sooner believe you a ghost
than still alive.
101
00:06:29,208 --> 00:06:32,333
I take it you saw Fowler's castle and ran.
102
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Where's Akemi?
103
00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:37,791
I watched you watch soldiers
drag her off screaming.
104
00:06:38,583 --> 00:06:40,416
She's Lady Akemi now.
105
00:06:41,458 --> 00:06:44,875
Lady Akemi gave me and my girls
comfortable positions here.
106
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:48,625
I see to her affairs,
and she would not want you here.
107
00:06:49,208 --> 00:06:50,458
Nor would the castle guards
108
00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:53,458
want to find a man
in the women's quarters.
109
00:06:53,541 --> 00:06:55,041
I followed Fowler here.
110
00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:58,250
I believe he's planning
to overthrow the shogunate today.
111
00:06:58,333 --> 00:06:59,166
[gasps]
112
00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:01,125
[Mizu] He'll kill everyone
in the Itoh Clan,
113
00:07:01,208 --> 00:07:02,541
anyone in their household.
114
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,500
One of my girls heard rumors of an attack.
115
00:07:07,250 --> 00:07:11,458
Akemi took her to inform her father.
I haven't seen either since.
116
00:07:11,541 --> 00:07:14,625
Go, now. Take your girls and run.
117
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:19,458
Be far away when the gunfire starts.
118
00:07:27,958 --> 00:07:29,750
All the lords are in the sun.
119
00:07:30,375 --> 00:07:35,375
Drinking, games,
bowing to a shogun who will soon be dead.
120
00:07:37,583 --> 00:07:38,583
You should eat.
121
00:07:40,708 --> 00:07:42,291
It's an important day.
122
00:07:47,708 --> 00:07:50,083
You used to look at me with admiration.
123
00:07:51,416 --> 00:07:53,500
You plan to have my husband killed.
124
00:07:53,583 --> 00:07:56,250
You mean the horrible brute
you ran away from?
125
00:07:57,083 --> 00:08:00,875
You still don't see it.
I'm giving you everything you want.
126
00:08:01,541 --> 00:08:04,083
Once the shogun
and his loyalists are dead, you're free.
127
00:08:04,708 --> 00:08:05,875
Right after you,
128
00:08:06,583 --> 00:08:09,166
the only surviving member
of the Itoh Clan,
129
00:08:09,250 --> 00:08:12,166
declare support for your father
as the new shogun.
130
00:08:14,416 --> 00:08:15,416
I won't.
131
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:19,708
You breathed your first breath
because of me.
132
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:23,583
And you breathe now because I allow it.
133
00:08:26,166 --> 00:08:31,000
A son is needed.
For once in my life, I call on a daughter.
134
00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:34,375
That fat, white pig
135
00:08:34,458 --> 00:08:37,000
thinks I'll be
his compliant little puppet.
136
00:08:37,958 --> 00:08:40,958
Once I get rid of him,
all of Japan will be mine to…
137
00:08:41,041 --> 00:08:43,125
- [grunts]
- [sword swishing]
138
00:08:44,166 --> 00:08:45,166
[grunts]
139
00:08:49,166 --> 00:08:50,166
[Daichi] Seki!
140
00:08:50,583 --> 00:08:52,083
What is this?
141
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:53,833
Akemi is coming with me…
142
00:08:55,375 --> 00:08:56,833
if she wishes.
143
00:08:57,625 --> 00:09:00,458
You… You came back for me.
144
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:02,750
[gasps]
145
00:09:06,541 --> 00:09:11,500
I did what I thought was best for you
when it was never for me to decide.
146
00:09:13,625 --> 00:09:15,750
Can you forgive me, child?
147
00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:20,041
All these years at my side,
148
00:09:20,125 --> 00:09:22,541
to throw your life away today
149
00:09:23,375 --> 00:09:24,833
for a daughter.
150
00:09:30,666 --> 00:09:31,916
You breathe now
151
00:09:33,041 --> 00:09:34,541
because I allow it.
152
00:09:39,208 --> 00:09:42,333
- [tense music playing]
- [Daichi yelling]
153
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,583
[Daichi] Get them! Get them!
154
00:09:55,666 --> 00:09:57,541
[soldier] Who released Lady Akemi?
155
00:09:58,041 --> 00:10:01,500
Stand aside, fool.
You know I speak for Lord Daichi.
156
00:10:02,083 --> 00:10:05,958
[soldier] Not this time.
Turn around. Back to your cell.
157
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:17,500
[grunts]
158
00:10:19,291 --> 00:10:20,333
[grunts]
159
00:10:27,250 --> 00:10:28,625
Who is your friend?
160
00:10:28,708 --> 00:10:30,250
He is not my friend.
161
00:10:30,833 --> 00:10:32,916
Do you still want your freedom?
162
00:10:37,166 --> 00:10:40,416
Then follow me.
Ringo's waiting for you at the sewer.
163
00:10:42,625 --> 00:10:43,708
[Akemi] Ringo?
164
00:10:44,375 --> 00:10:46,041
Your escape plan is Ringo?
165
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:49,541
[music continues]
166
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:08,750
[Ringo grunts]
167
00:11:10,666 --> 00:11:12,750
It worked! Sorry.
168
00:11:14,166 --> 00:11:16,541
[grunts, groans]
169
00:11:16,625 --> 00:11:18,000
[Taigen] The Falcon's Dive.
170
00:11:18,791 --> 00:11:19,791
Not bad.
171
00:11:20,958 --> 00:11:22,250
You've been training.
172
00:11:22,333 --> 00:11:24,833
[gasps] Taigen! You're here!
173
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:26,916
The shogun is in danger.
174
00:11:27,583 --> 00:11:31,916
I am still a loyal samurai.
I came to warn him of Fowler's insurgents.
175
00:11:33,416 --> 00:11:34,791
You know the shogun?
176
00:11:35,958 --> 00:11:37,750
[Taigen] I can't get anywhere near him.
177
00:11:38,333 --> 00:11:41,208
I told the head of the castle guard,
"I saw the white man's army
178
00:11:41,291 --> 00:11:42,666
encamped outside Edo."
179
00:11:42,750 --> 00:11:45,125
He just said,
"There are no white men in Japan."
180
00:11:46,625 --> 00:11:47,791
Where's the shogun now?
181
00:11:47,875 --> 00:11:50,875
[sighs] In the castle garden
surrounded by guards.
182
00:11:50,958 --> 00:11:54,375
If I tried to reach him alone,
I'd be dead in seven steps.
183
00:11:56,833 --> 00:12:00,875
Maybe together, we can get
near enough to warn him before we die.
184
00:12:02,375 --> 00:12:04,017
- Come with me, and we can…
- Master said…
185
00:12:04,041 --> 00:12:08,208
Mizu doesn't care
about anyone but himself and his revenge.
186
00:12:09,375 --> 00:12:12,375
Ringo, didn't you say
you wanted to be great?
187
00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:16,500
The gods are giving you that chance.
188
00:12:16,583 --> 00:12:21,041
Now, what do you do
when you get exactly what you prayed for?
189
00:12:21,791 --> 00:12:23,583
[tense music crescendos]
190
00:12:24,625 --> 00:12:26,250
[Taigen] There, by the water.
191
00:12:28,125 --> 00:12:29,666
Eight guards, archers.
192
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:31,833
How do we get around them all?
193
00:12:32,416 --> 00:12:33,416
A puzzle.
194
00:12:33,916 --> 00:12:34,916
Hmm.
195
00:12:36,125 --> 00:12:37,833
What would Master do?
196
00:12:37,916 --> 00:12:38,916
Mizu?
197
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:42,166
Mizu is the least careful, least tactical,
198
00:12:42,250 --> 00:12:44,875
most infuriating man I've ever met.
199
00:12:44,958 --> 00:12:45,958
Yes.
200
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,250
But what would he do?
201
00:12:49,333 --> 00:12:52,958
He's so stupid,
he'd go straight through the front door.
202
00:12:57,500 --> 00:13:01,666
[grunting]
203
00:13:04,916 --> 00:13:07,208
[panting]
204
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:15,463
- [guard 1] Get him!
- [guard 2] Stop them both!
205
00:13:16,875 --> 00:13:20,833
[Taigen] Don't attack.
Listen, we come with a… warning!
206
00:13:20,916 --> 00:13:22,208
Listen to me!
207
00:13:22,791 --> 00:13:23,833
[Kazuyoshi] It went fine.
208
00:13:24,333 --> 00:13:27,166
He's an odious creature.
Even for a white man.
209
00:13:27,708 --> 00:13:30,041
[sighs, grunts]
210
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:31,125
Taigen!
211
00:13:32,583 --> 00:13:33,583
[Taigen grunts]
212
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,666
[Kazuyoshi]
Why do you do business with him?
213
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:38,916
[Shogun Itoh] Please.
214
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:42,083
A pleasant day wants pleasant subjects.
215
00:13:42,625 --> 00:13:46,041
Takayoshi, where is
your beautiful new wife?
216
00:13:46,125 --> 00:13:49,083
Have you tired her out so soon? [chuckles]
217
00:13:51,375 --> 00:13:55,166
[Taigen] Kill me if you want,
but let me warn the shogun first.
218
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:57,541
His life is in danger!
219
00:14:01,958 --> 00:14:03,791
[grunting]
220
00:14:04,583 --> 00:14:06,833
[gasps] The shogun?
221
00:14:07,625 --> 00:14:10,208
Who dares point a weapon
in the shogun's direction?
222
00:14:10,291 --> 00:14:11,708
I am not an assassin.
223
00:14:12,333 --> 00:14:16,125
I'm a loyal samurai from Kyoto
serving Lord Daichi Tokunobu,
224
00:14:16,208 --> 00:14:18,708
come with a warning
to save the shogun's life.
225
00:14:20,291 --> 00:14:22,708
Abijah Fowler is coming
226
00:14:22,791 --> 00:14:25,791
with an army armed with guns.
227
00:14:26,458 --> 00:14:29,041
Please, only look,
228
00:14:30,250 --> 00:14:31,250
then kill me.
229
00:14:47,333 --> 00:14:50,375
[tense music swelling]
230
00:14:52,458 --> 00:14:54,458
[marching footsteps approaching]
231
00:14:55,666 --> 00:14:57,000
[horse neighing]
232
00:15:19,375 --> 00:15:23,416
[guard] Close all the gates!
An army is coming! An army is coming!
233
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:25,500
[Mizu] Hurry. We don't have long.
234
00:15:28,666 --> 00:15:29,666
[Seki] Wait.
235
00:15:33,541 --> 00:15:34,958
[Akemi] Why are we stopping?
236
00:15:37,083 --> 00:15:38,083
[Seki] Freedom.
237
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:42,250
I reclaimed a portion of your dowry.
238
00:15:42,333 --> 00:15:46,416
With this, you can go anywhere.
Live any life you want.
239
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:48,791
With Taigen, without,
240
00:15:48,875 --> 00:15:53,583
your direction will never again
be anyone's choice but yours.
241
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,083
The farm you grew up on
in Kokura, on the hill,
242
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:01,083
away from everything.
243
00:16:01,750 --> 00:16:03,916
[theme music playing]
244
00:16:04,916 --> 00:16:06,416
Do you think it's still there?
245
00:16:08,958 --> 00:16:11,916
[warning instruments sounding]
246
00:16:13,958 --> 00:16:14,958
He's here.
247
00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:27,916
[captain] Take them to the keep. Hurry.
248
00:16:29,041 --> 00:16:30,250
Every archer.
249
00:16:30,750 --> 00:16:32,041
Every man.
250
00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:35,375
Do not make me meet my enemy.
251
00:16:35,916 --> 00:16:37,833
They won't reach the first gate.
252
00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:41,708
You are a loyal samurai.
253
00:16:42,583 --> 00:16:44,083
Give this man a sword.
254
00:16:44,166 --> 00:16:46,166
He stays at my side.
255
00:16:51,791 --> 00:16:53,166
And he stays at mine.
256
00:16:56,958 --> 00:16:57,958
Shogun!
257
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:08,666
Hurry! Hurry! You'll be safe in here.
258
00:17:16,416 --> 00:17:18,000
You're the second son.
259
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:23,083
You recently married?
260
00:17:26,250 --> 00:17:27,375
Where is your wife?
261
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:32,583
I don't… know.
262
00:17:34,875 --> 00:17:36,416
[tense music playing]
263
00:17:38,375 --> 00:17:39,916
[marching footsteps in distance]
264
00:17:40,625 --> 00:17:42,791
[Mizu] Fowler. He's here.
265
00:17:44,416 --> 00:17:47,517
Go to the north sewer. Ringo will be there
waiting to take you out of the city.
266
00:17:47,541 --> 00:17:48,916
Stop for nothing.
267
00:17:50,416 --> 00:17:51,416
Akemi.
268
00:17:52,083 --> 00:17:53,333
We are not friends.
269
00:17:53,416 --> 00:17:55,625
Taigen is searching for you.
270
00:17:56,958 --> 00:17:58,875
Stubborn enough, he'll find you.
271
00:17:59,541 --> 00:18:01,625
He believes he loves you very much.
272
00:18:03,125 --> 00:18:04,416
He's not a good man.
273
00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:08,125
He could be a great one.
274
00:18:14,958 --> 00:18:18,458
[marching footsteps]
275
00:18:35,958 --> 00:18:37,416
[swords chiming]
276
00:18:39,416 --> 00:18:40,541
[guard] Let them come.
277
00:18:41,708 --> 00:18:44,208
No one's breached these walls
in 400 years.
278
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,625
[horse snorting]
279
00:18:53,375 --> 00:18:55,208
[Fowler] Here's as good as anywhere.
280
00:19:00,291 --> 00:19:01,791
Fire, please.
281
00:19:03,916 --> 00:19:06,208
[tense music crescendos]
282
00:19:11,083 --> 00:19:13,583
[gunshots]
283
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:23,750
[grunting]
284
00:19:59,375 --> 00:20:01,500
[marching footsteps in distance]
285
00:20:02,916 --> 00:20:04,875
[Daichi] An army of guns.
286
00:20:04,958 --> 00:20:07,666
The shogun has no idea what's coming.
287
00:20:08,958 --> 00:20:10,708
[captain] All defenses get in line.
288
00:20:10,791 --> 00:20:13,333
They got over the bridge.
Now they're pinned at the gate.
289
00:20:13,416 --> 00:20:15,458
Get ready to slaughter them all.
290
00:20:16,541 --> 00:20:18,041
Archers, aim!
291
00:20:19,583 --> 00:20:22,708
[dramatic music playing]
292
00:20:48,250 --> 00:20:50,750
[music continues]
293
00:21:12,583 --> 00:21:14,333
[music fades]
294
00:21:16,250 --> 00:21:19,000
[Taigen] They tore
through the first gate like paper.
295
00:21:22,958 --> 00:21:25,041
- [dramatic music swelling]
- [grunting]
296
00:21:27,916 --> 00:21:29,208

[grunts, groans]
298
00:21:51,958 --> 00:21:53,958
[Akemi grunts, pants]
299
00:21:57,291 --> 00:21:59,500
[captain] Ready the oil! Go!
300
00:22:01,458 --> 00:22:02,458
[Shindo] Captain.
301
00:22:03,916 --> 00:22:05,458
Is the final gate secure?
302
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:07,500
Locked from within.
303
00:22:07,583 --> 00:22:10,083
Even if they get close,
they'll never push through.
304
00:22:11,916 --> 00:22:12,916
Good.
305
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:15,916
[gunshot]
306
00:22:17,916 --> 00:22:20,416
[sinister music playing]
307
00:22:26,625 --> 00:22:30,416
[gunshots]

[marching footsteps approaching]
309
00:23:13,916 --> 00:23:15,958
[music fades]
310
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:17,583
Do it.
311
00:23:25,958 --> 00:23:29,458
[groans]
312
00:23:38,583 --> 00:23:41,541
Fall of an empire in under an hour.
313
00:23:43,791 --> 00:23:45,916
[Fowler] In the matter
of the death of civilizations,
314
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,916
it comes down to technology.
315
00:23:48,583 --> 00:23:50,625
We invented worse first.
316
00:23:51,833 --> 00:23:54,583
Not fair… but here we are.
317
00:23:58,416 --> 00:23:59,583
[gasps]
318
00:24:01,666 --> 00:24:05,250
- [gunshots in distance]

319

[gunshot]
320
00:24:11,291 --> 00:24:12,291
[Taigen] Get ready.
321
00:24:13,125 --> 00:24:16,041
[tense music accelerates]
322
00:24:37,416 --> 00:24:38,500
Didn't I kill you?
323
00:24:41,125 --> 00:24:45,125
You can thank us
for saving you the tedium of a siege.
324
00:24:45,791 --> 00:24:46,916
Starving children.
325
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:51,083
I credit you with vision.
326
00:24:52,833 --> 00:24:55,000
You wanted to preserve
a beautiful heritage
327
00:24:55,083 --> 00:24:57,458
from a changing world to be, let be,
328
00:24:58,166 --> 00:24:59,833
in strict isolation.
329
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:04,833
It might have lasted
a handful of centuries.
330
00:25:06,833 --> 00:25:08,333
But you got greedy.
331
00:25:09,083 --> 00:25:10,291
You read our letter.
332
00:25:11,250 --> 00:25:13,833
Twenty years ago, my partners and me.
333
00:25:15,041 --> 00:25:17,791
And you said, "Yes."
334
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,000
What's the harm in a little trade?
335
00:25:21,541 --> 00:25:24,166
A small crack in the wall.
336
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,291
All that vision, you couldn't see
how little space a bullet needs.
337
00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:33,208
[gasping]
338
00:25:33,291 --> 00:25:36,791
[Fowler] I couldn't discover a new world,
so I'm gonna reveal one.
339
00:25:37,333 --> 00:25:42,041
My new shogun
will break open your welded borders.
340
00:25:42,125 --> 00:25:45,375
Open Japan wide to the West.
341
00:25:45,458 --> 00:25:48,041
We'll flood your land with our people,
342
00:25:48,125 --> 00:25:51,666
our music, our shame, bread, and milk
343
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:57,000
until you think an ugly face like mine
more beautiful than your own.
344
00:25:58,791 --> 00:26:00,291
You think I fear death?
345
00:26:05,416 --> 00:26:06,583
Put away your gun.
346
00:26:08,666 --> 00:26:10,458
I will die with honor.
347
00:26:12,083 --> 00:26:13,083
Oh no.
348
00:26:13,666 --> 00:26:14,750
They need to see it.
349
00:26:16,083 --> 00:26:17,208
Your humiliation.
350
00:26:18,125 --> 00:26:19,375
That's how they'll know.
351
00:26:21,958 --> 00:26:24,041
[gasps]
352
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:31,875
You will bow to us, or you will die now.

- [grunts]
- [gasping]
354
00:26:39,583 --> 00:26:41,583
Lord Mori.
355
00:26:42,541 --> 00:26:44,458
I didn't know you had it in you.
356
00:26:45,208 --> 00:26:46,208
Anyone else?
357
00:26:47,541 --> 00:26:49,166
Well, let's get on with it.
358
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:52,125
The sons next, I think.
359
00:26:58,416 --> 00:27:02,041
[suspenseful music accelerates]

00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:18,125
[grunts, gasps]
361
00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:23,291
Kill him.

You want gold? You want to be a lord?

Find Akemi at the north sewer,

They saw your father die.
They saw his shame.

They should've opened their stomachs
when they had the chance.

You are shogun now.

Away from my life, from royalty.

00:37:59,666 --> 00:38:00,666
All of it.

Akemi, he was right.

Maybe you are mine.

I found Violet.

I found you.

00:41:22,125 --> 00:41:23,416
We lived loud.

You'll never find Skeffington alone.

Wealth drawn, selling Japan's
unwanted daughters like you.

Don't you want to know who they are?
527
00:41:52,958 --> 00:41:56,500
Don't you want to know which one
tried to burn you alive as a baby?
528
00:41:57,250 --> 00:41:58,625
Which one killed your mother?
529
00:41:59,458 --> 00:42:00,833
I saw my mother die.
530
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Did you?
531
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:06,083
That wasn't your mother.
532
00:42:06,958 --> 00:42:09,083
That… was your maid.
533
00:42:10,416 --> 00:42:11,875
Paid to keep you hidden,
534
00:42:12,458 --> 00:42:15,166

You want to find them, you need me.
540
00:42:34,458 --> 00:42:35,458
Alive.
541
00:42:36,541 --> 00:42:37,541
Why?
542
00:42:38,125 --> 00:42:40,625
Because I know
another word you don't know.
543
00:42:41,916 --> 00:42:43,250
A magic word.
544
00:42:46,625 --> 00:42:47,750

00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,750
[Takayoshi] Two thousand guns recovered.
546
00:43:10,541 --> 00:43:12,250
Destroy every one.
547
00:43:13,833 --> 00:43:17,166
My son will not make
the same mistakes his father did.
548
00:43:18,916 --> 00:43:23,958
We will not indulge
any influence of the West.
549
00:43:27,583 --> 00:43:28,833
So much lost.

Cities can be rebuilt.
551
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,583
Your prayers should be
in thanks your brother survived.
552
00:43:37,791 --> 00:43:39,208
And your wife.

00:43:45,708 --> 00:43:47,625
I thank heaven for her safety.
555
00:43:53,250 --> 00:43:55,500
How grateful we are your father lived.
556
00:43:56,375 --> 00:43:57,708
Are his wounds severe?
557
00:43:59,416 --> 00:44:00,791
My father is strong.
558
00:44:02,333 --> 00:44:04,583
He only needs time for quiet recovery…
559
00:44:06,666 --> 00:44:07,916
under my care.
560
00:44:29,791 --> 00:44:30,791

Hmm.
564
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,541
We can wait forever.
565
00:44:50,250 --> 00:44:51,250
Or…
566
00:44:52,666 --> 00:44:53,750
we can work.
