1
00:00:12,392 --> 00:00:14,846
Here I am again tonight.
2
00:00:15,173 --> 00:00:17,023
Bravo, Mito!
3
00:00:17,335 --> 00:00:18,003
Stop that.
4
00:00:18,317 --> 00:00:19,801
This isn't a Kabuki play.
5
00:00:20,369 --> 00:00:24,473
Among the nobles, those privileged
to become Chancellor or Regent...
6
00:00:24,992 --> 00:00:28,417
emerged from the Go-sekke
(Five Fujiwara Houses).
7
00:00:28,777 --> 00:00:36,198
They were the Konoe, Takatsukasa,
Kujo, Nijo, and Ichijo Houses.
8
00:00:36,795 --> 00:00:39,200
These most illustrious houses
of nobility...
9
00:00:39,492 --> 00:00:41,575
were established
in the mid-Kamakura Era...
10
00:00:41,898 --> 00:00:45,306
with descendants from
the Fujiwara house.
11
00:00:46,398 --> 00:00:48,741
Shattering this honored tradition...
12
00:00:48,996 --> 00:00:51,213
and taking the title of Chancellor
for themselves...
13
00:00:51,435 --> 00:00:55,810
were samurai leaders
Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hidetsugu.
14
00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:59,964
My grandfather Ieyasu
considered this an outrage...
15
00:01:00,477 --> 00:01:04,681
and returned the title of Chancellor
to the Go-sekke.
16
00:01:05,651 --> 00:01:10,060
However, being superior in military
and economic power,
17
00:01:10,261 --> 00:01:14,228
the Edo shogunate began
a bold intervention in Court affairs.
18
00:01:14,477 --> 00:01:16,883
The Go-sekke were powerful
in name only.
19
00:01:17,196 --> 00:01:20,672
Even the title of Chancellor
was only a mere decoration.
20
00:01:22,255 --> 00:01:26,350
Wasn't this all part
of Ieyasu's scheme?

Director: Ozaki Mitsunobu
49
00:04:08,791 --> 00:04:12,713
In late April 1608, Kyoto Deputy,
Itakura Katsushige,
50
00:04:12,981 --> 00:04:16,744
hastened to the
renovated Sunpu Castle.
51
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:22,371
I am honored to appear
before you, My Lord.
52
00:04:23,151 --> 00:04:24,546
Raise you head.
53
00:04:27,651 --> 00:04:30,432
The Kyoto Deputy was charged
with protecting the Court...
54
00:04:30,730 --> 00:04:32,812
as the chief of police
and public safety commissioner.
55
00:04:33,066 --> 00:04:35,950
This was much like the
head of the FBI in America.
56
00:04:39,529 --> 00:04:41,312
Do you have any secured information?
57
00:04:42,201 --> 00:04:48,858
If I may say, morals in the Court
are exceedingly loose.
58
00:04:49,233 --> 00:04:52,079
The misconduct by the nobles
offends the eye.
59
00:04:52,346 --> 00:04:53,379
Such as...?
60
00:04:53,966 --> 00:04:55,866
They indulge in wine and women
from broad daylight.
61
00:04:56,246 --> 00:04:58,856
Illicit meetings are an everyday
occurrence as well as orgies.
62
00:04:59,216 --> 00:05:03,005
It is lewd and disgusting.
63
00:05:04,039 --> 00:05:05,400
I have heard the rumors.
64
00:05:05,794 --> 00:05:07,540
And, most outrageous of all...
65
00:05:07,934 --> 00:05:10,686
a certain noble is carrying on...
66
00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:14,540
with the Emperor's
favorite lady-in-waiting.
67
00:05:15,923 --> 00:05:17,320
Who are these people?
68
00:05:17,663 --> 00:05:20,899
Forgive me,
I haven't found out yet.
69
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:23,071
Investigate thoroughly.
70
00:05:23,541 --> 00:05:25,983
We are doing our best,
71
00:05:26,361 --> 00:05:31,294
but the nobles are reluctant
to speak about their own.
72
00:05:34,025 --> 00:05:40,222
The Chancellor says that no Courtiers
indulge in illicit behavior.
73
00:05:40,836 --> 00:05:46,833
He says it is outrageous
for the Kyoto Deputy to intervene.
74
00:05:50,542 --> 00:05:52,648
The Chancellor says that?
75
00:05:54,527 --> 00:05:57,100
We shall have to
replace the Chancellor.
76
00:05:57,418 --> 00:05:58,547
That's right.
77
00:05:58,788 --> 00:06:02,139
The depravity of the nobles
angers the commoners...
78
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,342
and could weaken their
faith in the government.
79
00:06:09,085 --> 00:06:12,198
Learn every detail
of these activities.
80
00:06:12,562 --> 00:06:14,261
Yes, My Lord.
81
00:06:18,321 --> 00:06:21,606
In August, New Shogun Hidetada
visited Sunpu Castle...
82
00:06:21,918 --> 00:06:27,144
to inquire about
the Ogosho's health.
83
00:06:28,089 --> 00:06:31,982
Sunpu Castle
84
00:06:34,143 --> 00:06:38,965
See that? Make the moat
too narrow for a boat to maneuver.
85
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:43,284
And also make it as deep
as the length of a spear.
86
00:06:43,768 --> 00:06:48,358
Make the enemy come close.
Then he's an easier musket target.
87
00:06:48,987 --> 00:06:49,944
I see.
88
00:06:50,707 --> 00:06:53,747
The moat around Edo Castle's
West Compound is to wide.
89
00:06:54,341 --> 00:06:56,504
You'll waste bullets that way.
90
00:06:58,096 --> 00:06:59,266
Toshikatsu...
91
00:07:00,718 --> 00:07:04,347
If any West daimyo
should attack us,
92
00:07:04,735 --> 00:07:06,645
which road would they take?
93
00:07:07,693 --> 00:07:10,766
When Ishida Mitsunari revolted,
94
00:07:11,087 --> 00:07:14,209
the 80,000 troops were
divided into two groups.
95
00:07:14,492 --> 00:07:16,180
One group came from the north
on the Nakasendo to Ogaki,
96
00:07:16,410 --> 00:07:19,996
the other from the south
on the Ise Highway, also to Ogaki.
97
00:07:20,524 --> 00:07:22,728
The Nakasendo and the Ise Highway?
98
00:07:23,023 --> 00:07:24,897
If a revolt begins in the West,
99
00:07:25,252 --> 00:07:27,506
they will come on the same roads.
100
00:07:28,692 --> 00:07:30,653
Where should we engage them?
101
00:07:31,530 --> 00:07:34,416
In the north at Kiyosu Castle in Owari.
102
00:07:34,927 --> 00:07:38,507
In the south at Anotsu Castle in Ise.
103
00:07:39,081 --> 00:07:42,020
Kiyosu Castle and Anotsu Castle?
104
00:07:43,798 --> 00:07:45,199
Excellent!
105
00:07:45,769 --> 00:07:48,174
The New Shogun is blessed
with capable vassals!
106
00:07:48,512 --> 00:07:49,481
Thank you, Sir.
107
00:07:49,972 --> 00:07:52,803
We must renovate
Kiyosu Castle to prepare.
108
00:07:53,033 --> 00:07:56,509
Next year we will build
a massive castle.
109
00:07:57,287 --> 00:08:02,162
And, we must place an experienced
daimyo in Anotsu Castle.
110
00:08:02,162 --> 00:08:02,846
True.
111
00:08:03,178 --> 00:08:05,591
Who is a trustworthy daimyo?
112
00:08:06,029 --> 00:08:07,879
Er...
that is...
113
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,693
It is Todo Takatora!
114
00:08:09,987 --> 00:08:11,942
I was just about to say that!
115
00:08:12,362 --> 00:08:13,688
What are you saying, Sir?
116
00:08:14,021 --> 00:08:15,977
You don't need to be surprised.
117
00:08:16,249 --> 00:08:19,671
You are promoted
from Imabari to Anotsu.
118
00:08:21,336 --> 00:08:22,569
Congratulations, Sir.
119
00:08:23,196 --> 00:08:25,705
Add Iga-Ueno to your fief as well.
120
00:08:27,193 --> 00:08:29,054
Thank you, My Lord!
121
00:08:29,735 --> 00:08:32,026
I ask the New Shogun...
122
00:08:32,558 --> 00:08:36,830
What happens if the enemy should
get past Kiyosu Castle and Anotsu Castle?
123
00:08:38,196 --> 00:08:41,429
I would hasten to Sunpu
and fight them.
124
00:08:41,718 --> 00:08:43,343
What if they get past Sunpu?
125
00:08:44,146 --> 00:08:47,305
There is not fear of that.
126
00:08:47,682 --> 00:08:48,732
What?
127
00:08:49,173 --> 00:08:51,272
You possess such power,
128
00:08:51,609 --> 00:08:54,994
that even a million foes
would flee in fright.
129
00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:57,620
Fool!
130
00:08:58,524 --> 00:09:03,592
I am speaking of fifty, no,
even a hundred years from now!
131
00:09:25,625 --> 00:09:29,408
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I'll move here.
132
00:09:35,438 --> 00:09:38,419
You are much too concerned
with minor points.
133
00:09:39,578 --> 00:09:42,494
You were late to Sekigahara...
134
00:09:43,124 --> 00:09:46,147
because you wasted too much time
attacking Ueda Castle.
135
00:09:47,406 --> 00:09:50,147
Win a great victory
in the central campaign,
136
00:09:50,449 --> 00:09:52,808
and, even though foes
may be left standing,
137
00:09:53,131 --> 00:09:55,068
they will eventually submit.
138
00:09:59,184 --> 00:10:00,468
Thank you, Sir.
139
00:10:00,965 --> 00:10:02,373
Wait, wait, wait...
140
00:10:03,823 --> 00:10:08,305
To the present shogunate,
what will be the central campaign?
141
00:10:11,835 --> 00:10:15,304
Who is the foe
that must be crushed?
142
00:10:17,793 --> 00:10:19,600
Is it the Toyotomi?
143
00:10:20,063 --> 00:10:21,159
No.
144
00:10:22,625 --> 00:10:23,839
It's the Court.
145
00:10:24,418 --> 00:10:25,799
The Court?!
146
00:10:26,552 --> 00:10:30,114
The Toyotomi have already lost.
147
00:10:30,619 --> 00:10:33,153
Then can do nothing to harm us.
148
00:10:33,571 --> 00:10:38,085
What we have to fear is the
Court joining with the Toyotomi.
149
00:10:40,262 --> 00:10:44,590
As you must know,
the Emperor is displeased with me.
150
00:10:45,486 --> 00:10:49,125
We are at odds over the
successor to the throne.
151
00:10:50,459 --> 00:10:54,717
Why do I object to Prince Hachijo
as successor,
152
00:10:55,174 --> 00:10:59,293
and support Prince Kotohito?
153
00:11:00,594 --> 00:11:02,421
You know, don't you?
154
00:11:04,496 --> 00:11:08,242
So Princess Ichi
can marry Prince Kotohito.
155
00:11:09,162 --> 00:11:10,876
Exactly.
156
00:11:11,935 --> 00:11:14,456
With ties to the Court,
157
00:11:14,779 --> 00:11:17,794
the Shogun's house will gain
even more prestige.
158
00:11:18,181 --> 00:11:20,516
Then our rule will be secure.
159
00:11:21,362 --> 00:11:22,876
However...
160
00:11:23,285 --> 00:11:27,178
If we should fail, shogunate
prestige will plummet.
161
00:11:27,878 --> 00:11:30,168
That is why...
162
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:35,971
you must consider Ichi's marriage
as the great battle.
163
00:11:36,424 --> 00:11:38,378
Whatever the risk,
164
00:11:38,651 --> 00:11:42,606
you must insist that Prince Kotohito
becomes Emperor.
165
00:11:44,084 --> 00:11:50,068
But the Court abhors any interference
by the shogunate.
166
00:11:50,889 --> 00:11:54,292
So you must force it upon them.
167
00:11:55,107 --> 00:11:57,726
If we threaten with force,
168
00:11:58,230 --> 00:12:00,436
we will become enemies of the Court.
169
00:12:00,953 --> 00:12:02,535
Not with force.
170
00:12:04,016 --> 00:12:05,736
With a secret means.
171
00:12:07,222 --> 00:12:09,056
A secret means?
172
00:12:11,581 --> 00:12:13,937
Just wait and see.
173
00:12:18,056 --> 00:12:19,376
Excuse me, Sire...
174
00:12:19,644 --> 00:12:20,735
Enter.
175
00:12:25,652 --> 00:12:27,830
Lord Todo Takatora is here.
176
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:29,104
Admit him.
177
00:12:38,665 --> 00:12:39,955
I hope you are well, Sire.
178
00:12:40,215 --> 00:12:41,480
Have you come for an urgent matter?
179
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,083
Yes.
180
00:12:42,388 --> 00:12:44,791
You aren't satisfied
with your transfer to Anotsu?
181
00:12:44,791 --> 00:12:46,618
By no means, Sire!
182
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:49,442
What is it?
183
00:12:50,314 --> 00:12:52,195
Lord Hachisuka sends word...
184
00:12:52,446 --> 00:12:54,894
that on his last visit to Osaka Castle,
185
00:12:55,150 --> 00:12:57,533
Lady Yodo sought a
writ of loyalty from him.
186
00:12:58,857 --> 00:13:00,002
Loyalty?
187
00:13:00,428 --> 00:13:03,370
That he would never forget
his debt to the Taiko...
188
00:13:03,715 --> 00:13:06,118
and swear loyalty to Lord Hideyori.
189
00:13:09,014 --> 00:13:11,217
The she-fox is in a panic.
190
00:13:14,904 --> 00:13:16,826
Perhaps it is time...
191
00:13:17,123 --> 00:13:21,004
to invite Lord Hideyori to Sunpu.
192
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,497
Right.
193
00:13:29,981 --> 00:13:34,090
Osaka Castle
194
00:13:35,607 --> 00:13:40,132
Lord Ieyasu sent an envoy
to Siam to buy muskets.
195
00:13:40,552 --> 00:13:41,887
Is that true?
196
00:13:42,254 --> 00:13:44,130
A Sakai merchant told me.
197
00:13:44,731 --> 00:13:48,414
Then he plans to start a war, after all?
198
00:13:49,075 --> 00:13:51,149
That I don't know, but...
199
00:13:51,504 --> 00:13:54,925
he is issuing trade permits
to Luzon and Annam.
200
00:13:56,053 --> 00:13:57,702
This is a grave matter.
201
00:13:58,093 --> 00:13:59,922
Didn't Lord Ieyasu retire?
202
00:14:01,108 --> 00:14:04,328
His retirement was only to deceive us.
203
00:14:05,835 --> 00:14:08,337
Everyone looks to Sunpu for directions.
204
00:14:09,221 --> 00:14:11,140
Shogun Hidetada is only a puppet?
205
00:14:16,229 --> 00:14:17,060
Mother...
206
00:14:17,372 --> 00:14:18,265
What is it?
207
00:14:23,685 --> 00:14:28,645
The Young Lord is doing well
in Harunaga's mansion.
208
00:14:29,738 --> 00:14:32,103
He nurses well.
209
00:14:33,098 --> 00:14:34,294
Does Osen know?
210
00:14:34,732 --> 00:14:36,326
No, she knows nothing.
211
00:14:36,717 --> 00:14:38,393
Keep this a secret for now.
212
00:14:40,177 --> 00:14:42,121
The truth is...
213
00:14:43,058 --> 00:14:44,881
Do you wish to see your son?
214
00:14:45,237 --> 00:14:47,112
- That's not it.
- Then tell me.
215
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,305
I've sired another child.
216
00:14:53,286 --> 00:14:54,408
What did you say?
217
00:14:54,752 --> 00:14:56,090
My maid is with child.
218
00:14:56,335 --> 00:14:57,393
Is it Otsu?
219
00:14:58,076 --> 00:14:59,538
It's Kozue.
220
00:14:59,944 --> 00:15:02,998
That's wonderful!
221
00:15:06,021 --> 00:15:11,488
To sire two children at the age of 16!
222
00:15:18,819 --> 00:15:20,796
That year in December...
223
00:15:21,048 --> 00:15:23,776
visitors came to Kodai-in's
mansion in Kyoto.
224
00:15:24,444 --> 00:15:26,487
They were Minister of the Right,
Kujo Tadahide,
225
00:15:26,777 --> 00:15:28,924
and his wife,
Princess Sadako.
226
00:15:30,975 --> 00:15:33,442
I have received word from the Court...
227
00:15:33,739 --> 00:15:36,067
of my appointment to Chancellor.
228
00:15:36,754 --> 00:15:38,316
How wonderful.
229
00:15:39,961 --> 00:15:41,864
My appointment to Chancellor...
230
00:15:42,285 --> 00:15:45,868
was due to aggressive petitioning
by the Ogosho.
231
00:15:47,755 --> 00:15:52,505
I am sure you had something
to do with this as well.
232
00:15:54,318 --> 00:15:58,647
Your advancement
is Princess Sada's pride.
233
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,272
Sadako's pride is a tribute to the Taiko.
234
00:16:05,245 --> 00:16:08,515
But, the Ogosho's true intent...
235
00:16:08,796 --> 00:16:11,245
is to right the depravity in the Court...
236
00:16:11,669 --> 00:16:15,088
and to get rid of undesirable elements.
237
00:16:18,196 --> 00:16:23,930
I often hear of debauchery
among the nobles.
238
00:16:24,369 --> 00:16:32,056
I am reluctant to punish nobles
with the shogunate's support.
239
00:16:33,611 --> 00:16:36,965
I fear I might offend the Emperor.
240
00:16:39,156 --> 00:16:42,188
What a strange thing to say.
241
00:16:43,688 --> 00:16:46,689
Even if you should offend the Emperor,
242
00:16:47,032 --> 00:16:51,031
why shouldn't you fight
the corruption of nobles?
243
00:16:52,339 --> 00:16:57,576
For posterity's sake, draw the line
between right and wrong.
244
00:17:00,173 --> 00:17:05,341
The rumors even involve nobles
friendly with the Toyotomi.
245
00:17:06,250 --> 00:17:09,316
There is no need to hesitate.
246
00:17:11,515 --> 00:17:13,392
Thank you very much!
247
00:17:14,670 --> 00:17:17,572
You are the Chancellor.
248
00:17:18,128 --> 00:17:20,297
No matter whom you face,
249
00:17:20,610 --> 00:17:23,093
know what is good and what is evil...
250
00:17:23,525 --> 00:17:28,703
and fully exercise your powers.
251
00:17:29,353 --> 00:17:32,711
I shall, My Lady!
252
00:17:35,739 --> 00:17:38,253
Now, Lady Osada...
253
00:17:39,097 --> 00:17:40,145
Yes?
254
00:17:40,426 --> 00:17:45,056
Your father Hashiba Hidekatsu
was the Taiko's nephew.
255
00:17:45,474 --> 00:17:50,353
And you mother
is the Shogun's wife, Ogou.
256
00:17:51,833 --> 00:17:58,835
The blood of both the Toyotomi
and Tokugawa flows within you.
257
00:17:59,584 --> 00:18:05,069
You serve as a necessary
bridge between the houses.
258
00:18:06,258 --> 00:18:12,759
If necessary, you must mediate
to keep the peace.
259
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,617
Yes, My Lady.
260
00:18:17,464 --> 00:18:23,104
I, Kodai-in, pray for peace
between houses as well.
261
00:18:25,469 --> 00:18:30,273
For men born in the same country
to fight each other...
262
00:18:30,623 --> 00:18:35,947
is sheer folly.
263
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:42,685
Edo Castle (1609)
264
00:18:48,524 --> 00:18:49,467
Ogou...
265
00:18:49,730 --> 00:18:50,601
Good morning.
266
00:18:51,152 --> 00:18:52,558
Good morning.
267
00:18:53,511 --> 00:18:54,601
Rejoice.
268
00:18:55,010 --> 00:18:57,839
Kujo Tadahide was appointed Chancellor.
269
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:58,945
Eh?
270
00:18:59,426 --> 00:19:01,508
Princess Sada is the wife of a Chancellor.
271
00:19:04,888 --> 00:19:07,779
Osen married a Toyotomi,
Otama married a Maeda,
272
00:19:08,096 --> 00:19:09,703
and Sada married a Chancellor.
273
00:19:10,044 --> 00:19:12,836
Your daughters married well!
274
00:19:13,158 --> 00:19:14,801
Thanks to you.
275
00:19:15,354 --> 00:19:17,142
Yes, we have Father to thank.
276
00:19:17,943 --> 00:19:20,181
Princess Kazu...
Come onto my lap.
277
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:28,689
You will soon marry into
a prestigious house as well.
278
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:32,028
Do you want a daimyo or a noble?
279
00:19:32,449 --> 00:19:34,642
A noble would be best.
280
00:19:36,161 --> 00:19:38,122
Samurai wage war.
281
00:19:39,089 --> 00:19:40,763
Don't be unreasonable.
282
00:19:41,173 --> 00:19:43,330
The Shogun is the leader of all samurai.
283
00:19:44,048 --> 00:19:47,735
I cannot sleep for worrying about Osen.
284
00:19:51,164 --> 00:19:54,285
I hear Princess Ichi
will be wed to the Emperor.
285
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:56,749
Who did you hear that from?
286
00:19:57,066 --> 00:19:57,821
From you.
287
00:19:58,220 --> 00:20:00,912
- I did not.
- You did so.
288
00:20:01,173 --> 00:20:03,436
- No.
- I heard it with these ears.
289
00:20:04,489 --> 00:20:05,923
Oh, did I tell you?
290
00:20:06,852 --> 00:20:08,820
Please don't tell anyone else.
291
00:20:09,310 --> 00:20:10,788
Of course not.
292
00:20:12,914 --> 00:20:15,865
Princess Ichi's marriage
has not been arranged yet.
293
00:20:16,443 --> 00:20:18,583
It is hoped that all goes well.
294
00:20:18,912 --> 00:20:23,114
No one, not even the Court,
can refuse the Ogosho.
295
00:20:23,482 --> 00:20:24,613
That's right.
296
00:20:25,574 --> 00:20:30,100
That is why we
chose another Chancellor.
297
00:20:31,191 --> 00:20:32,199
Huh?
298
00:20:32,581 --> 00:20:36,031
Yikes, I've let another secret slip.
299
00:20:36,554 --> 00:20:37,839
Come, Kazu...
300
00:20:38,312 --> 00:20:41,294
Go and play.
301
00:20:47,922 --> 00:20:51,487
Here is more confidential news.
302
00:20:52,483 --> 00:20:55,285
Takechiyo will take a wife
from a Go-sekke house,
303
00:20:55,595 --> 00:20:59,125
and Kunichiyo,
from a great daimyo house.
304
00:21:02,179 --> 00:21:06,258
My father, Tokugawa Ieyasu,
is a remarkable man.
305
00:21:06,822 --> 00:21:09,785
He is looking fifty, no,
a hundred years into the future.
306
00:21:11,571 --> 00:21:12,870
Do you understand?
307
00:21:13,239 --> 00:21:16,271
He will scatter Tokugawa seeds
in the Imperial house,
308
00:21:16,546 --> 00:21:20,109
daimyo houses,
and throughout all of Japan.
309
00:21:22,596 --> 00:21:24,491
He's like a dandelion.
310
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:26,017
Dandelion?!
311
00:21:27,058 --> 00:21:29,033
Yes, we are like dandelions.
312
00:21:29,458 --> 00:21:33,017
We must have more and more children.
313
00:21:33,973 --> 00:21:36,125
I'm growing too old!
314
00:21:36,485 --> 00:21:38,692
Nonsense...
Nonsense...
315
00:21:39,048 --> 00:21:41,129
Aren't seven children enough?
316
00:21:41,396 --> 00:21:44,035
Yes, but...
317
00:21:44,979 --> 00:21:46,454
- Your Excellency?
- Yes?
318
00:21:47,795 --> 00:21:50,166
I must ask you...
319
00:21:50,659 --> 00:21:51,518
Yes?
320
00:21:51,897 --> 00:21:54,804
Do you love our children?
321
00:21:56,371 --> 00:21:57,757
Of course.
322
00:21:58,447 --> 00:22:02,727
Then please build a world
with no more wars.
323
00:22:03,944 --> 00:22:09,162
A rule by force will
eventually incur hatred.
324
00:22:10,293 --> 00:22:15,172
But, without might,
we cannot form ties by marriage.
325
00:22:15,649 --> 00:22:17,918
Marriage ties are fine,
326
00:22:18,293 --> 00:22:22,250
but scattered dandelion seeds
can spark the flames of war.
327
00:22:25,962 --> 00:22:27,167
I see.
328
00:22:32,489 --> 00:22:37,962
On February 19, Ieyasu's messenger
Honda Masazumi arrived in Edo Castle.
329
00:22:40,588 --> 00:22:46,858
Why are West daimyo
renovating their castles?
330
00:22:47,264 --> 00:22:49,882
Investigate thoroughly
and discover the reason.
331
00:22:50,353 --> 00:22:52,144
Is one of them Fukushima Masanori?
332
00:22:52,517 --> 00:22:54,472
And Kato Kiyomasa as well.
333
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:58,111
The Ogosho is exceedingly angry.
334
00:22:58,941 --> 00:23:01,208
Why are they renovating
their castles?
335
00:23:01,849 --> 00:23:03,669
Do they expect war to come again?
336
00:23:04,790 --> 00:23:09,669
They question the shogunate's
purchase of armaments...
337
00:23:10,023 --> 00:23:11,868
which is causing alarm.
338
00:23:12,146 --> 00:23:13,455
That's absurd!
339
00:23:13,821 --> 00:23:17,997
The shogunate protects the country!
Armaments are necessary!
340
00:23:18,639 --> 00:23:19,743
Masanobu...
341
00:23:20,226 --> 00:23:21,524
Investigate this thoroughly.
342
00:23:21,816 --> 00:23:22,846
Very well, Your Excellency.
343
00:23:23,318 --> 00:23:28,915
Next, make certain daimyo
send hostages to Edo.
344
00:23:31,196 --> 00:23:32,526
Right!
345
00:23:32,854 --> 00:23:33,795
My Lord...
346
00:23:34,730 --> 00:23:40,028
Since last fall, few daimyo
leave their families at home.
347
00:23:40,737 --> 00:23:42,930
With the exception of the sickly,
348
00:23:43,253 --> 00:23:45,495
all daimyo families are moving to Edo.
349
00:23:45,917 --> 00:23:47,358
Oh, that's excellent.
350
00:23:47,726 --> 00:23:49,212
Report it as such.
351
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:50,344
Very well, Sir.
352
00:23:50,656 --> 00:23:54,426
Next, hurry the land survey...
353
00:23:54,748 --> 00:23:56,995
before Lord Yorimasa becomes
lord of Mito Castle at Hitachi.
354
00:23:57,224 --> 00:23:58,072
Very well.
355
00:23:58,367 --> 00:24:05,720
Issue Don Rodrigo a pass
to loan Adams' new ship to Spain.
356
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,358
To Spain?
357
00:24:08,088 --> 00:24:11,126
Governor Marinas,
who is stationed in Luzon,
358
00:24:11,422 --> 00:24:12,976
is returning home to Acapulco.
359
00:24:13,549 --> 00:24:15,718
Why should we loan him a great ship?
360
00:24:16,012 --> 00:24:19,642
To test whether it can survive
the rough Pacific Ocean.
361
00:24:21,550 --> 00:24:25,013
We cannot object if he returns
with a shipload of muskets.
362
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:26,739
Won't the ship be stolen?
363
00:24:26,998 --> 00:24:29,299
If so, we will fight them.
364
00:24:30,292 --> 00:24:32,317
Very well.
365
00:24:33,455 --> 00:24:38,007
Issue a permit to Ron Rodringo.
366
00:24:38,552 --> 00:24:39,595
It's Don Rodrigo.
367
00:24:40,795 --> 00:24:41,987
It's Don Rodrigo, Sire.
368
00:24:46,149 --> 00:24:48,880
The following is highly confidential,
369
00:24:49,212 --> 00:24:50,937
so I will give an oral message.
370
00:24:51,151 --> 00:24:52,093
Fine.
371
00:24:52,410 --> 00:24:55,348
Having inspected Kiyosu Castle
with Lord Yoshitoshi,
372
00:24:55,650 --> 00:25:01,241
the Ogosho will build
a new castle at Owari-Nagoya.
373
00:25:01,754 --> 00:25:03,000
Owari-Nagoya?!
374
00:25:03,292 --> 00:25:04,851
Please be so informed.
375
00:25:05,481 --> 00:25:06,820
That will be expensive.
376
00:25:07,201 --> 00:25:09,524
Let the West daimyo
assume the expenses.
377
00:25:09,814 --> 00:25:10,836
Again?
378
00:25:11,309 --> 00:25:13,966
Until they have
depleted their savings.
379
00:25:26,118 --> 00:25:29,549
The Ogosho is really scary!
380
00:25:29,874 --> 00:25:31,993
Why can't a warlord
repair his castle?!
381
00:25:32,347 --> 00:25:34,725
We should have reported
our plan in advance.
382
00:25:35,097 --> 00:25:37,108
It's a silly accusation.
383
00:25:37,838 --> 00:25:40,095
Nine years after Sekigahara,
384
00:25:40,387 --> 00:25:44,521
beams rot, walls crumble,
and roofs leak!
385
00:25:44,862 --> 00:25:46,288
That's understandable.
386
00:25:46,577 --> 00:25:48,790
He regards the West daimyo
as enemies!
387
00:25:50,328 --> 00:25:53,243
You are, after all,
hot-blooded lords.
388
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,313
Doesn't it infuriate you?
389
00:25:55,895 --> 00:25:57,565
It cannot be helped.
390
00:25:58,281 --> 00:26:02,191
Suspicion arose because we began
renovations at the same time.
391
00:26:03,128 --> 00:26:04,641
What do you mean, "suspicion?!"
392
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:06,311
Don't yell!
393
00:26:06,986 --> 00:26:09,730
I won't be suspected unjustly!
394
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,699
I'll go to Sunpu tomorrow
and explain myself!
395
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:15,842
You will only make him angry.
396
00:26:17,650 --> 00:26:18,967
Fukushima Masanori
397
00:26:19,344 --> 00:26:23,613
What? So, now you're
the Ogosho's pet cat?
398
00:26:25,304 --> 00:26:27,051
That's an insult, Sir!
399
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:28,734
Now, now!
400
00:26:29,089 --> 00:26:30,433
Say, "Meow!"
401
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,502
You must be grateful
for Anotsu Castle!
402
00:26:33,502 --> 00:26:34,893
- Silence!
- No!
403
00:26:35,875 --> 00:26:37,137
The party's over!
404
00:26:38,863 --> 00:26:40,917
Who made Ieyasu
what he is today?!
405
00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:45,261
It wasn't the Ogosho
who won at Sekigahara!
406
00:26:46,539 --> 00:26:48,356
It was our troops!
407
00:26:49,497 --> 00:26:51,232
We promised not to mention it!
408
00:26:52,078 --> 00:26:53,856
You're spineless, too!
409
00:26:54,193 --> 00:26:55,292
What did you say?!
410
00:26:56,332 --> 00:26:58,673
Kiyomasa, you're
a master builder of castles.
411
00:26:59,012 --> 00:27:02,282
After all your trouble,
will you simply tear it down?
412
00:27:02,498 --> 00:27:04,217
No!
413
00:27:04,983 --> 00:27:06,370
I'll crush mine to pieces!
414
00:27:06,644 --> 00:27:07,884
That will also make him angry.
415
00:27:07,884 --> 00:27:09,485
I must retaliate!
416
00:27:09,752 --> 00:27:12,572
I repaired the tower
after returning to Hiroshima.
417
00:27:12,971 --> 00:27:19,268
I'll break it to bits!
418
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:22,935
Suit yourself!
419
00:27:31,092 --> 00:27:35,149
On April 1 Ieyasu ordered
Shimazu Iehisa of Kagoshima Castle...
420
00:27:35,489 --> 00:27:39,428
to subjugate Ryukyu. (Okinawa)
421
00:27:39,708 --> 00:27:43,000
After five days,
Shuri Castle was taken.
422
00:27:43,257 --> 00:27:45,162
This was also part of Ieyasu's plot...
423
00:27:45,504 --> 00:27:48,820
to deplete the armies of great daimyo.
424
00:27:50,101 --> 00:27:51,641
- Hold, Sire!
- What?!
425
00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:53,597
You must not say "plot."
426
00:27:53,851 --> 00:27:54,787
Don't argue with me!
427
00:27:55,002 --> 00:27:57,452
Lord Ieyasu was your grandfather.
428
00:27:57,811 --> 00:27:59,986
I'll not change history
for anyone's sake!
429
00:27:59,986 --> 00:28:01,630
Not "change" history!
430
00:28:01,953 --> 00:28:04,743
Merely refrain from
using treasonous words.
431
00:28:05,003 --> 00:28:06,463
What's so treasonous?!
432
00:28:06,770 --> 00:28:08,801
He questioned the building of castles,
took hostages,
433
00:28:09,071 --> 00:28:11,664
and sent daimyo
to needless battles!
434
00:28:11,876 --> 00:28:13,300
Please exercise
a little restraint, Sire!
435
00:28:13,924 --> 00:28:17,765
If you anger the Shogun,
the Mito will be abolished!
436
00:28:18,074 --> 00:28:20,444
How can scholars learn
if they fear abolishment?!
437
00:28:21,635 --> 00:28:24,618
I, Sukesaburo, request
a long leave of absence.
438
00:28:24,618 --> 00:28:25,569
What?!
439
00:28:25,802 --> 00:28:31,779
I will suffer eternal shame
if I sully the name of the Gongen!
440
00:28:31,779 --> 00:28:33,110
Traitorous vassal!
441
00:28:33,370 --> 00:28:34,415
Pardon me!
442
00:28:34,796 --> 00:28:35,743
Hold still!
443
00:28:36,264 --> 00:28:39,522
I'll execute him!
Unhand me!
444
00:28:39,777 --> 00:28:41,641
Come to your senses, Sire!
445
00:28:45,907 --> 00:28:47,339
Someone has died.
446
00:29:18,416 --> 00:29:20,132
Oh, on May 3,
447
00:29:20,412 --> 00:29:24,359
lord of Obama Castle,
Kyogoku Takatsugu, died of illness.
448
00:29:24,893 --> 00:29:26,036
Who was that at the window?
449
00:29:26,318 --> 00:29:27,850
Takatsugu's widow, Ohastu.
450
00:29:28,149 --> 00:29:29,915
- Lady Yodo's younger sister?
- Right.
451
00:29:30,292 --> 00:29:34,562
Lady Ohatsu shaved her head
and is now "Jokoin."
452
00:29:37,054 --> 00:29:39,632
Osaka Castle
453
00:29:40,666 --> 00:29:42,633
I never dreamed he would die so soon.
454
00:29:43,399 --> 00:29:45,823
Pray for him with care.
455
00:29:46,420 --> 00:29:48,101
Thank you, Sister.
456
00:29:48,573 --> 00:29:50,542
How old is the successor?
457
00:29:50,889 --> 00:29:52,510
He's seventeen.
458
00:29:52,728 --> 00:29:53,494
And Princess Hatsu?
459
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,196
Seven, My Lady.
460
00:29:55,776 --> 00:29:59,055
Oh, seven?
A little young...
461
00:30:00,071 --> 00:30:02,933
You will be the lady
of the Kyogoku house.
462
00:30:03,244 --> 00:30:04,182
Yes.
463
00:30:04,651 --> 00:30:06,683
You must help Lord Tadataka,
464
00:30:06,939 --> 00:30:10,152
and uphold the honor
of the Kyogoku.
465
00:30:10,878 --> 00:30:11,969
Yes.
466
00:30:12,668 --> 00:30:16,201
I came here at the age of six.
467
00:30:16,573 --> 00:30:18,142
That's true, isn't it?
468
00:30:18,467 --> 00:30:20,780
Princess Hatsu will go to Edo now.
469
00:30:21,082 --> 00:30:22,308
To Edo?
470
00:30:22,627 --> 00:30:27,168
Daimyo wives and children
must live in Edo as hostages.
471
00:30:28,172 --> 00:30:32,360
Hostage? But Ohatsu is descended
from the Tokugawa.
472
00:30:33,392 --> 00:30:36,190
Ogou will be very happy!
473
00:30:37,561 --> 00:30:39,375
Will you go to Edo as well?
474
00:30:39,639 --> 00:30:40,944
No.
475
00:30:41,255 --> 00:30:47,176
I will remain at your side
as a bridge to the Tokugawa.
476
00:30:47,531 --> 00:30:50,848
That is very reassuring.
477
00:30:51,252 --> 00:30:55,719
You have a fiery temper.
I cannot leave you alone.
478
00:30:57,376 --> 00:30:58,798
You will advise me?
479
00:30:59,925 --> 00:31:01,393
Mother...
480
00:31:02,661 --> 00:31:05,956
Why wasn't I taken hostage?
481
00:31:07,083 --> 00:31:10,021
The Toyotomi are not daimyo.
482
00:31:13,159 --> 00:31:17,384
Hideyori is the heir of the great Taiko.
483
00:31:21,682 --> 00:31:23,695
Do you also wish to go to Edo?
484
00:31:25,601 --> 00:31:26,792
No.
485
00:31:28,130 --> 00:31:31,574
I am Lord Hideyori's wife.
486
00:31:46,414 --> 00:31:47,585
Mother!
487
00:31:55,214 --> 00:31:58,305
Kozue has given birth to a princess!
488
00:31:59,511 --> 00:32:00,527
A princess?!
489
00:32:01,701 --> 00:32:03,873
I wish to call her "Princess Yui."
490
00:32:05,033 --> 00:32:06,729
Princess Yui?
491
00:32:07,072 --> 00:32:10,593
"Bind" from "betrothal gifts"
and "paper tying cord."
492
00:32:11,106 --> 00:32:12,964
Oh, that's a fine name.
493
00:32:13,296 --> 00:32:14,745
Thank you, Mother!
494
00:32:15,503 --> 00:32:18,184
This must be kept secret.
495
00:32:19,023 --> 00:32:20,311
I understand.
496
00:32:36,076 --> 00:32:38,199
Then, on July 4,
497
00:32:38,511 --> 00:32:42,708
a serious scandal was exposed
at the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
498
00:32:48,460 --> 00:32:53,522
Before the Kyoto Deputy
can report scandals in the Court,
499
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,064
they become the talk of the town.
500
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,562
If they are neglected,
501
00:32:59,863 --> 00:33:03,564
a serious problem could arise.
502
00:33:04,376 --> 00:33:06,926
The masses are merely envious.
503
00:33:07,534 --> 00:33:10,423
The shogunate is exaggerating
to create dissension.
504
00:33:10,866 --> 00:33:12,801
Surely there is more behind it.
505
00:33:13,207 --> 00:33:16,921
It arises from the
former Shogun's conceit.
506
00:33:18,071 --> 00:33:23,569
He is attempting
to manipulate the Court.
507
00:33:24,299 --> 00:33:27,632
The shogunate is being insolent...
508
00:33:27,952 --> 00:33:31,463
to participate in
the affairs of the Court.
509
00:33:33,071 --> 00:33:36,808
They were originally our guards.
510
00:33:38,390 --> 00:33:40,870
The Chancellor
must not be controlled...
511
00:33:41,237 --> 00:33:44,804
by the ambitions
of the former Shogun.
512
00:33:45,395 --> 00:33:48,018
Whatever the former Shogun's designs,
513
00:33:48,451 --> 00:33:51,915
the depraved behavior
of the nobility is a fact!
514
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,117
I say to the Chancellor...
515
00:34:00,578 --> 00:34:03,995
No person alive...
516
00:34:04,270 --> 00:34:08,745
is unaffected by affairs of the heart.
517
00:34:09,243 --> 00:34:12,311
That holds true even for nobility.
518
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:16,954
So true.
Since time immemorial,
519
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,486
men have fallen in love with women,
520
00:34:20,778 --> 00:34:23,793
and women, with men.
521
00:34:24,263 --> 00:34:27,042
Indeed, isn't it love...
522
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:32,213
that heightens beauty
and fosters the soul of elegance?
523
00:34:33,561 --> 00:34:35,718
It is when one loves...
524
00:34:36,008 --> 00:34:38,160
that he can compose beautiful poetry.
525
00:34:38,485 --> 00:34:42,265
How can one compose fine poetry
without having loved?
526
00:34:42,708 --> 00:34:45,260
Illicit love affairs
are disdained by all,
527
00:34:45,614 --> 00:34:48,767
and bring shame to the nobility.
528
00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:52,332
Even illicit affairs are love affairs.
529
00:34:56,361 --> 00:34:59,171
Let's send a knowledgeable person...
530
00:34:59,514 --> 00:35:03,452
to tell Lord Ieyasu
about "The Tale of Genji."
531
00:35:04,124 --> 00:35:07,273
I don't know what
the fuss is about,
532
00:35:07,905 --> 00:35:12,125
but Lord Tokugawa
must learn that love affairs...
533
00:35:12,499 --> 00:35:18,419
have been the glory of the Court
since time began!
534
00:35:21,317 --> 00:35:24,660
Then I say to you...
535
00:35:26,788 --> 00:35:28,516
We are listening, sir.
536
00:35:30,825 --> 00:35:34,209
Is an affair with
the Emperor's concubine...
537
00:35:34,416 --> 00:35:35,676
surely not immoral?!
538
00:35:40,618 --> 00:35:43,993
To engage in adultery with
an attendant of the Throne...
539
00:35:44,256 --> 00:35:45,900
Is that not the height of treachery?!
540
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:47,556
Stop, sir!
541
00:35:47,823 --> 00:35:48,974
You are before His Majesty!
542
00:35:48,974 --> 00:35:51,132
That is why I speak!
543
00:35:51,470 --> 00:35:52,729
Lord Tadahide!
544
00:35:52,931 --> 00:35:54,101
Have you gone mad?!
545
00:35:54,345 --> 00:35:57,309
This is the scandal that
has provoked the rumors!
546
00:35:57,679 --> 00:35:59,741
You must not believe such rumors.
547
00:36:00,053 --> 00:36:01,103
They are not rumors!
548
00:36:01,321 --> 00:36:02,821
Please...!
549
00:36:08,136 --> 00:36:13,792
This is a report by Kyoto Deputy
Itakura Katsushige!
550
00:36:34,088 --> 00:36:37,779
Emperor Goyozei
551
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:42,635
Tadahide...
552
00:36:45,363 --> 00:36:47,621
What did you just say?
553
00:36:48,993 --> 00:36:52,346
I am denouncing the traitors...
554
00:36:52,783 --> 00:36:55,614
who cause you pain, Your Majesty.
555
00:36:57,705 --> 00:36:58,977
Read the report.
556
00:37:03,286 --> 00:37:05,161
You may mention names.
557
00:37:08,723 --> 00:37:10,033
Tadahide...
558
00:37:25,212 --> 00:37:29,049
Many nobles have engaged
in illicit affairs...
559
00:37:29,425 --> 00:37:33,790
with Imperial concubines.
560
00:37:34,313 --> 00:37:36,339
Witness to this was
Inner Palace gatekeeper,
561
00:37:36,628 --> 00:37:39,018
Lord Kaneyasu Bingo-on-kami.
562
00:37:39,408 --> 00:37:42,882
The evil courtiers
are named as follows...
563
00:37:45,410 --> 00:37:49,224
Councilor Karasumaru Mitsuhiro!
564
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:51,603
That's a lie!
565
00:37:51,884 --> 00:37:52,694
Silence!
566
00:37:55,401 --> 00:37:58,184
Left Vice-Middle Captain,
Oimikado Yorukuni.
567
00:37:58,777 --> 00:38:01,445
Left Vice-Minor Captain,
Kazannoin Tadanaga.
568
00:38:01,838 --> 00:38:04,126
Left Vice-Minor Captain,
Namba Munekatsu.
569
00:38:04,384 --> 00:38:06,806
Right Vice-Minor Captain,
Tokudaiji Saneshisa.
570
00:38:07,697 --> 00:38:10,011
Right Vice-Minor Captain,
Nakamikado Munenobu!
571
00:38:11,444 --> 00:38:15,219
The ladies illicitly engaged
with these men are as follows...
572
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,169
Naishi-no-suke, Lady Hirohashi.
573
00:38:28,514 --> 00:38:31,265
Gon-no-suke, Lady Nakanoin.
574
00:38:31,603 --> 00:38:33,374
Naishi-no-jo, Minase.
575
00:38:33,685 --> 00:38:35,515
Bausgu-no-jo, Karahashi.
576
00:38:35,856 --> 00:38:37,689
Myobu Sanuki.
577
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:23,254
The guilty nobles in this
unprecedented scandal...
578
00:39:23,526 --> 00:39:25,247
were dismissed from office.
579
00:39:25,539 --> 00:39:29,340
The guilty ladies were
shut up in their own mansions.
580
00:39:30,731 --> 00:39:32,508
Overcome by the shock,
581
00:39:32,809 --> 00:39:35,003
Emperor Goyozei took to his bed.
582
00:39:36,530 --> 00:39:37,700
Lax!
583
00:39:38,323 --> 00:39:39,563
Of all things!
584
00:39:39,906 --> 00:39:42,731
They stole the Emperor's
own concubines.
585
00:39:43,647 --> 00:39:45,880
And the guilty ones
were respected courtiers!
586
00:39:47,062 --> 00:39:48,945
Could any scandal be worse?!
587
00:39:49,390 --> 00:39:51,561
Shameless and despicable!
588
00:39:52,418 --> 00:39:53,573
True.
589
00:39:54,097 --> 00:39:55,394
They should all be
crucified upside-down!
590
00:39:55,694 --> 00:39:59,627
But what happens?!
Dismissal from office!
591
00:39:59,923 --> 00:40:02,038
Mere confinement?
592
00:40:02,472 --> 00:40:04,322
Jolted by the disgrace,
593
00:40:04,683 --> 00:40:10,402
the Court probably wishes
to settle this quietly.
594
00:40:10,661 --> 00:40:11,944
That's preposterous!
595
00:40:12,727 --> 00:40:15,424
The depravity of the
Court is excessive!
596
00:40:16,441 --> 00:40:17,927
What should be done, Sire?
597
00:40:18,222 --> 00:40:20,285
Send Shigemasa to the Kyoto Deputy!
598
00:40:20,772 --> 00:40:22,434
Allow no cover-up!
599
00:40:23,804 --> 00:40:26,552
The guilty parties should be dragged
to the Sanjo riverbed...
600
00:40:26,805 --> 00:40:28,475
and beheaded!
601
00:40:29,108 --> 00:40:30,088
Yes, Sire.
602
00:40:30,631 --> 00:40:31,636
My Lord...
603
00:40:31,945 --> 00:40:33,353
What?!
604
00:40:34,070 --> 00:40:39,291
No matter what happens,
you must not destroy the Court.
605
00:40:41,337 --> 00:40:42,937
Destroy it?
606
00:40:44,213 --> 00:40:47,727
I wish to destroy the insects
that eat at the Throne...
607
00:40:47,944 --> 00:40:51,117
and clean out the Palace.
608
00:40:52,201 --> 00:40:54,040
Is that so disagreeable?!
609
00:40:54,743 --> 00:40:57,024
Kyoto Deputy's Mansion
610
00:40:58,438 --> 00:41:01,364
Therefore,
I ask for immediate custody...
611
00:41:01,598 --> 00:41:03,591
of the guilty lords and ladies.
612
00:41:04,497 --> 00:41:06,435
Please, not that, sir.
613
00:41:08,247 --> 00:41:10,436
Won't you comply?
614
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,217
The lords, perhaps...
615
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:18,257
but an Imperial order
is required to release ladies.
616
00:41:18,641 --> 00:41:22,708
It is the Kyoto Deputy's duty
to protect the Court.
617
00:41:23,045 --> 00:41:24,953
Imperial matters
are not a concern of yours.
618
00:41:25,189 --> 00:41:26,296
Then...
619
00:41:26,789 --> 00:41:31,547
I ask that you state their punishment!
620
00:41:32,566 --> 00:41:36,940
His Majesty is ill.
He has yet to decide.
621
00:41:37,369 --> 00:41:39,486
The Ogosho says...
622
00:41:39,728 --> 00:41:43,878
all guilty parties must be executed.
623
00:41:44,082 --> 00:41:45,970
The shogunate should not interfere!
624
00:41:46,242 --> 00:41:47,425
Silence!
625
00:41:49,256 --> 00:41:52,442
Though Lady Hirohashi
is your daughter,
626
00:41:52,871 --> 00:41:59,587
it is shameful, sir,
to lessen her sentence!
627
00:42:01,289 --> 00:42:03,686
While I, Itakura, am alive,
628
00:42:03,996 --> 00:42:07,523
I will deal harshly with any wrongdoers!
629
00:42:11,890 --> 00:42:14,414
They're infuriating!
630
00:42:15,507 --> 00:42:17,695
They make a fool of the Emperor...
631
00:42:17,961 --> 00:42:19,866
and hide behind his authority.
632
00:42:20,069 --> 00:42:21,614
Outrageous!
633
00:42:23,038 --> 00:42:25,291
They leave me no choice!
634
00:42:25,569 --> 00:42:28,838
Drag the women to Sunpu
in the name of the shogunate!
635
00:42:29,103 --> 00:42:32,268
I'll cut off their heads!
636
00:42:36,665 --> 00:42:39,885
They should be cut to pieces!
637
00:42:42,048 --> 00:42:45,010
Push and push...
638
00:42:46,665 --> 00:42:48,152
until we succeed!
639
00:42:52,308 --> 00:42:54,839
We must not withdraw!
640
00:42:55,987 --> 00:42:58,543
To be continued
641
00:42:59,168 --> 00:43:03,349
