[speaking in Japanese]

[Blackthorne] And I wish to forge allegiances

benefiting this country.

I just need a new banner to sail under.

You wish to sail on Yabushige-sama's behalf?

Mariko-sama, is it?

In my culture, we would say Maria.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy name,

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,

on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

[quiet chatter in Japanese]

[Blackthorne] Well, we're making our approach.

[Mariko] Yes.

Why did he send you here?

It has nothing to do with you.

We are simply traveling to Osaka at the same time.

And my life is mine, and yours is yours.

Anjin-dono.

Ah, your friends are back from Macao

with the over-priced silk they traded for

criminally underpriced Japanese silver.

True friends of the Japan.

You are instructed to stay close

once you are met by Ishido-sama's men.

Right.

[shouting in Japanese]

[shouting in Japanese]

Lord Ohno's family.

Everyone in the castle is now a hostage to Ishido-sama.

If a member from every noble family is trapped here,

none can oppose him.

Anjin-dono.

Yabushige, thank you for trusting me.

Hmm?

When I deliver to you the Catholic gold,

you won't regret it.

Well, we're together again.

Get some rest, Anjin-sama.

[Dell'Acqua] You are certain it was the heretic?

[Ferreira] Ah, it's hard to miss

the foul smell coming out of the galley.

Whole escort of Jappers with him.

And the lady translator, too.

- Lady Maria? - Mmm, your girlfriend.

[chuckles]

Toranaga is planning something.

We've got to find out what it is.

I do not think the heretic is here on Toranaga's behalf.

When I was in Edo, he had been cut loose.

Toranaga has given up.

Or you are blind to their trickery.

This felt different.

His most loyal vassal

killed himself right in front of him.

If John Blackthorne is here,

it is only because he is trying to find his own way out.

Tempest in a bottle.

War is coming.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[quiet chatter]

Hmm.

Good evening.

I am Kiyama ukon Sadanaga,

member of the Council of Regents.

Ah, yes, the most humble servant of the Lord on High.

And a servant of the Portuguese.

Which comes first, God or your purse strings?

I don't trouble myself too much with the matters of faith.

I am, however, a student of trade.

And I can tell you that we have quite enough

pirate merchants in this country already.

Your kind arrived here too late.

My kind? I am not a pirate.

[man calls out in Japanese]

[indistinct whispers]

[man speaks Japanese]

Mariko-dono.

Yabushige-sama.

- [grunts] - Uh.

Huh?

Why have you done this?

I need rest.

I must leave in the morning.

But you can't leave.

They'll stop you.

Judging by the armed guards everywhere I look,

probably by force.

Then Ishido-sama would be admitting I remain here by force.

As well as every lord and lady being kept prisoner in this castle.

You'd walk into a sword

just to prove the blade is sharp.

Please, Anjin-sama

you must not involve yourself.

Can you do this?

For the sake of everything we have been through?

What about your duty to God?

Please, Lord Kiyama is a fellow Christian of highest rank.

He asks you to remain in Osaka.

He says that our families are one under the banner of God,

which is why I am to become betrothed to his granddaughter.

We serve Toranaga-sama.

You will marry as our lord instructs.

I am tired of being in this family.

These things they say about your name,

I am always ashamed.

And for what? What have I done?

We have nothing to be ashamed of.

Then stop this.

If you try to leave today,

you will be held.

And if you are disgraced...

Huh?

[baby fussing]

[grunts]

[soldiers shouting, grunting]

Mariko-sama.

[birds singing]

[laughs]

She asks for me to translate.

It is a ruse to bring me before her.

Please let us speak.

She talks about our childhood together.

She and I grew up like sisters.

[Mariko speaks Japanese]

We should go now.

Toranaga has thousands of warriors at his disposal.

Vassals coming out of his kosode.

It's the mark of a coward to send a woman to do his bidding.

You misunderstand him.

No, I understand perfectly.

He's taking advantage of your loyalty.

Your life is worth more than this.

Life and death are the same.

Both can have value and purpose.

Only one is permanent.

You have nothing to prove to these people.

You've made your point.

There's no need to die for it.

There is every need.

It is the very reason my father kept me alive.

What I'm asking,

what I'm begging is,

if not for good sense,

if not for God,

then will you consider

living for me?

[sighs]

All these years,

you still have your cross with you.

Your mind is set again.

Yes, it is.

I wish to be confessed.

Then speak it here.

[Mariko] Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

But I can only confess

that I am not worthy to confess.

Daughter of God,

I wish I could say proper Mass for you.

But here, we have no altar

or vestments.

Then let us drink cha from an empty cup

for all the years we have known each other,

and for the little time that is left.

Yabushige-sama, help me.

For the love of God, get over here

Let it come.

[Blackthorne] For God's sake, help me push this against the door!

Mariko-sama, get away from the door.

Mariko-sama!
