On September 6, the first day,
the night rains has ceased,

7
00:00:33,154 --> 00:00:36,371
Twenty mounted samurai led the way.

18
00:01:12,234 --> 00:01:13,889
to welcome the Emperor.
19
00:01:14,312 --> 00:01:17,660

00:01:26,712 --> 00:01:29,908
After the first meal,
at a private feast,

00:01:30,205 --> 00:01:32,424
Lord Hidetada and Shogun Iemitsu...
25
00:01:32,709 --> 00:01:33,940
received a drink from the Emperor.

20 robes, doll furnishings,
and toy puppets.
65
00:03:28,705 --> 00:03:32,675
On this day, the Emperor
saw the view from the tower.
66
00:03:33,035 --> 00:03:35,571
Then he reviewed
a show of horseback riding.
67
00:03:36,022 --> 00:03:39,018
Next, there was a performance
of foot-ball by nobles.
68
00:03:39,414 --> 00:03:42,243

69
00:03:42,752 --> 00:03:45,197
On the 4th day,
there was a Noh performance!
70
00:03:45,509 --> 00:03:46,515
There's more?!
71
00:03:46,775 --> 00:03:47,349
Just a bit.
72
00:03:47,672 --> 00:03:48,493
Hurry up!
73
00:03:48,838 --> 00:03:51,653
Among the plays were Okina,
Naniwa, Tamura, Genji Kuyo,
74
00:03:51,896 --> 00:03:53,990
Dojoji, Miwa, Kumasaka, and Shojo!
75
00:03:54,989 --> 00:03:56,935
A banquet was scheduled to follow,
76
00:03:57,254 --> 00:04:00,214
but due to hangovers,
the Emperor declined the offer.
77
00:04:00,607 --> 00:04:01,470
It was only natural.
78
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:02,620
On the 5th day,
79
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:05,694
the Emperor enjoyed the view
from the tower again.
80
00:04:06,051 --> 00:04:08,437
He offered Hidetada, Iemitsu,
and Tadanaga cups of wine,
81
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:11,782
and finally returned
to the Imperial Palace!
82
00:04:13,259 --> 00:04:15,807
The Tokugawa shogunate
had staked its reputation...
83
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:20,510
in giving the Emperor a grand lavish
welcome to Nijo Castle!
84
00:04:21,191 --> 00:04:25,020
It was an event that marked
Tokugawa rule over all Japan!
85
00:04:25,586 --> 00:04:27,452
In the Edo Era, at least,
86
00:04:27,725 --> 00:04:33,332
it was spectacular hospitality
on an unprecedented scale.

My Lord.
112
00:07:35,685 --> 00:07:36,432
Huh?
113
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:39,845
It's Masanari.
114
00:07:40,525 --> 00:07:41,667
What is it?
115
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,295
An urgent message arrived from Edo.
116
00:07:48,809 --> 00:07:51,517
Her Ladyship, Lady Ogou,
is critically ill.
117
00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:55,935
What?
118
00:07:58,277 --> 00:08:03,676
Edo Castle
119
00:08:09,533 --> 00:08:10,609
Lady Ogou?
120
00:08:11,108 --> 00:08:12,109
Ogou...
121
00:08:12,679 --> 00:08:14,561
Princess Sen has returned.
122
00:08:15,974 --> 00:08:19,631
Can you hear?
Princess Sen has returned!
123
00:08:20,580 --> 00:08:21,656
Mother...
124
00:08:22,313 --> 00:08:23,300
Mother!
125
00:08:40,660 --> 00:08:42,303
I, Iemitsu, am here.
126
00:08:44,908 --> 00:08:47,554
Ogou is dying.
127
00:08:52,071 --> 00:08:53,801
I'll send Tadanaga.
128
00:08:54,021 --> 00:08:55,007
No, I shall go!
129
00:08:55,875 --> 00:08:58,779
Don't be absurd.
You're the Shogun!
130
00:09:00,521 --> 00:09:03,362
Tomorrow, the envoy arrives
to name you Great Minister.
131
00:09:03,835 --> 00:09:05,103
The day after tomorrow,
132
00:09:05,401 --> 00:09:06,947
you must appear in Court
to thank the Emperor.
133
00:09:07,201 --> 00:09:09,501
There is something
I must say to Mother!
134
00:09:10,025 --> 00:09:12,123
Then have Tadanaga
relay your message.
135
00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:18,298
Sakai Tadakatsu...
136
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:21,533
Go with Tadanaga as my representative.
137
00:09:22,058 --> 00:09:22,851
Yes, Sire!
138
00:09:23,515 --> 00:09:26,427
Sire, a younger vassal would be better.
139
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,202
That's true.
140
00:09:31,407 --> 00:09:33,809
Tadakatsu, I withdraw my order.
141
00:09:35,687 --> 00:09:36,982
Inaba Masakatsu!
142
00:09:37,356 --> 00:09:38,367
Yes, My Lord!
143
00:09:39,586 --> 00:09:41,282
Take a physician with you.
144
00:09:44,969 --> 00:09:46,058
Go quickly!
145
00:10:13,957 --> 00:10:18,092
September 12
146
00:10:36,712 --> 00:10:38,254
Be strong!
147
00:10:38,623 --> 00:10:41,582
The Ogosho, Shogun,
and Lord Tadanaga are all in Kyoto.
148
00:10:42,493 --> 00:10:44,971
At a time like this...!
149
00:10:45,313 --> 00:10:47,260
Do you understand?
150
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,940
Here are Osen, Okatsu, and Ohatsu!
151
00:10:53,529 --> 00:10:54,368
Ogou?
152
00:10:54,991 --> 00:10:55,783
Ogou!
153
00:10:56,742 --> 00:10:58,130
You must not die yet.
154
00:10:58,937 --> 00:11:00,251
You are invincible!
155
00:11:01,834 --> 00:11:02,727
Do you remember?
156
00:11:03,367 --> 00:11:04,709
When we three sisters...
157
00:11:05,646 --> 00:11:08,432
The day we three fled
from Kitanosho Castle!
158
00:11:12,952 --> 00:11:16,001
Ogou...
Ogou...
159
00:11:29,278 --> 00:11:32,128
We sisters suffered
the fall of two castles,
160
00:11:32,469 --> 00:11:36,252
and our parents were killed.
161
00:11:36,934 --> 00:11:39,768
We grew up under the protection
of Lord Hideyoshi.
162
00:11:40,893 --> 00:11:43,915
The eldest, Chacha,
gave birth to Lord Hideyori...
163
00:11:44,253 --> 00:11:46,069
and was called "Lady Yodo."
164
00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:49,967
The second daughter Hatsu
married Kyogoku Takatsugu.
165
00:11:50,361 --> 00:11:53,636
I, the third,
now live a happy life here.
166
00:11:57,034 --> 00:11:58,241
Do you understand?
167
00:11:59,536 --> 00:12:01,842
If you should break with the Toyotomi,
168
00:12:02,152 --> 00:12:06,748
I will become enemy to my sister!
169
00:12:07,504 --> 00:12:13,035
What will become of Osen,
who wed into the Toyotomi house?
170
00:12:14,448 --> 00:12:19,188
Will you say women
are only tools of war?
171
00:12:23,083 --> 00:12:24,122
My Lord!
172
00:12:25,952 --> 00:12:26,989
My Lord!
173
00:12:28,301 --> 00:12:31,369
Didn't Father say this...
174
00:12:31,666 --> 00:12:32,711
No, not at all.
175
00:12:33,397 --> 00:12:35,378
I haven't finished.
176
00:12:35,642 --> 00:12:36,450
Oh, sorry.
177
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,539
"Ogou's family runs high to girls."
178
00:12:39,882 --> 00:12:41,973
"Little can be expected
of a woman of her age."
179
00:12:42,317 --> 00:12:45,456
"If you desire sons,
take a young concubine."
180
00:12:48,010 --> 00:12:49,411
Will you obey Father?
181
00:12:50,133 --> 00:12:51,552
"Ahh" is a poor answer.
182
00:12:51,863 --> 00:12:54,736
What should I do?
183
00:12:55,565 --> 00:12:57,510
Whatever you wish.
184
00:12:58,008 --> 00:12:59,092
I'll consider it.
185
00:12:59,627 --> 00:13:00,364
I knew it!
186
00:13:00,811 --> 00:13:04,244
In Fushimi,
I dreamt of you every night.
187
00:13:05,286 --> 00:13:07,217
How I pined for you.
188
00:13:07,869 --> 00:13:09,291
In all this world,
189
00:13:09,865 --> 00:13:12,068
there is no woman like you.
190
00:13:14,339 --> 00:13:17,859
Have no fear!
I shall never take a concubine!
191
00:13:20,036 --> 00:13:21,614
However...
192
00:13:22,499 --> 00:13:26,217
Please give me a son next.
193
00:13:28,426 --> 00:13:30,721
Yes, My Lord!
194
00:13:32,983 --> 00:13:34,581
A son, right?
195
00:13:35,347 --> 00:13:36,374
A son.
196
00:13:37,003 --> 00:13:38,722
Yes, My Lord.
197
00:13:39,516 --> 00:13:41,078
I must bear a son.
198
00:13:41,803 --> 00:13:42,817
Oh?
199
00:13:43,185 --> 00:13:46,033
Since Osen, Otama, and Okatsu
were all three girls,
200
00:13:47,192 --> 00:13:51,577
Hidetada is in disfavor with you, Father.
201
00:13:52,301 --> 00:13:53,399
That is not so.
202
00:13:53,792 --> 00:13:58,268
I must bear him a son soon.
I am six years his senior!
203
00:14:00,293 --> 00:14:01,579
Wait until next year.
204
00:14:01,891 --> 00:14:02,745
Next year?
205
00:14:03,033 --> 00:14:06,767
This year, we must fight
a great war against Mitsunari.
206
00:14:07,865 --> 00:14:09,555
I doubt he'll be able to return to Edo.
207
00:14:09,831 --> 00:14:10,826
How cruel...
208
00:14:12,103 --> 00:14:14,055
Haste makes waste.
209
00:14:16,336 --> 00:14:20,952
I understand you advised
Lord Hidetada to take a concubine.
210
00:14:21,324 --> 00:14:23,919
I never said that.
211
00:14:26,381 --> 00:14:28,918
Oh yeah, I might have!
212
00:14:29,289 --> 00:14:30,455
I knew it!
213
00:14:31,451 --> 00:14:34,014
It is only natural
for any respected daimyo...
214
00:14:34,329 --> 00:14:36,476
to have one or two concubines.
215
00:14:38,951 --> 00:14:40,410
What kind of look is that?
216
00:14:42,730 --> 00:14:45,072
I wish to give birth to the heir!
217
00:14:45,936 --> 00:14:46,913
Go right ahead.
218
00:14:47,173 --> 00:14:48,740
Then please allow me
to go to Utsunomiya!
219
00:14:49,178 --> 00:14:51,298
That is impossible.
220
00:14:51,578 --> 00:14:52,883
I beg of you!
221
00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:57,924
Making war is different
from making children.
222
00:15:01,749 --> 00:15:03,134
No! No!
223
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:05,642
Otama...
224
00:15:07,513 --> 00:15:11,921
I don't want to go anywhere!
225
00:15:12,539 --> 00:15:14,914
Otama, Kaga is a fine place.
226
00:15:15,406 --> 00:15:16,877
There are no ogres or snakes.
227
00:15:19,228 --> 00:15:20,501
Be happy there.
228
00:15:24,630 --> 00:15:25,962
Mother!
229
00:15:30,916 --> 00:15:32,510
Otama!
230
00:15:46,235 --> 00:15:49,356
I don't want to go anywhere!
231
00:15:49,903 --> 00:15:52,009
Mother!
232
00:15:54,778 --> 00:15:57,291
I shall go to Kyoto
despite your objections!
233
00:15:58,871 --> 00:16:02,101
However, I will do more
than accompany Osen.
234
00:16:02,426 --> 00:16:04,779
I shall meet with my sister,
Yodo, in Osaka...
235
00:16:05,105 --> 00:16:09,210
in order to dispel her suspicions
about the Tokugawa.
236
00:16:11,015 --> 00:16:13,262
I am the only person...
237
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:16,984
who can melt the discord
between our two houses.
238
00:16:18,965 --> 00:16:20,966
Please allow me to help!
239
00:16:22,763 --> 00:16:25,387
If any grief should come to Osen,
240
00:16:25,745 --> 00:16:27,557
I could never die in peace!
241
00:16:31,318 --> 00:16:37,661
May I put my toy dishes
into my wedding chest?
242
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,911
Your toy dishes?
243
00:16:40,898 --> 00:16:45,023
They are my treasures
from Great-Grandmother.
244
00:16:45,495 --> 00:16:51,132
Well now, whatever should we do?
245
00:16:55,287 --> 00:16:56,949
What is the matter?
246
00:17:03,358 --> 00:17:05,402
It's coming!
247
00:17:05,727 --> 00:17:06,905
Mother!
248
00:17:48,909 --> 00:17:50,920
Could you be?
249
00:17:53,295 --> 00:17:54,685
I am Sada.
250
00:17:57,769 --> 00:18:02,397
Have you ever seen a more
intelligent or beautiful girl?
251
00:18:03,719 --> 00:18:05,366
Thank you!
252
00:18:06,422 --> 00:18:08,516
You know this person, don't you?
253
00:18:08,781 --> 00:18:10,219
She's your mother.
254
00:18:10,819 --> 00:18:12,428
I hope you are well.
255
00:18:13,188 --> 00:18:14,331
Osada...!
256
00:18:25,433 --> 00:18:26,883
Forgive me!
257
00:18:27,892 --> 00:18:30,519
I did not wish to leave you!
258
00:18:31,493 --> 00:18:34,926
Not a day passed that
I did not think of you!
259
00:18:36,691 --> 00:18:38,568
Mother!
260
00:18:39,943 --> 00:18:43,054
Oh, joy!
Thank the gods!
261
00:18:43,975 --> 00:18:47,043
I'm glad I came to Osaka!
262
00:18:50,663 --> 00:18:54,648
Please allow the Kyogoku
to adopt your fourth daughter,
263
00:18:55,008 --> 00:18:56,943
who was just born in Fushimi.
264
00:18:57,195 --> 00:18:57,912
Sister...
265
00:18:58,678 --> 00:19:00,946
If she is wed to our heir, Kumamaro,
266
00:19:01,335 --> 00:19:03,507
it will enhance the name of the Kyogoku,
267
00:19:03,915 --> 00:19:07,375
and smooth the strife between
Tokugawa and Toyotomi.
268
00:19:07,883 --> 00:19:10,702
But the decision is not mine to make.
269
00:19:11,025 --> 00:19:12,368
I have heard...
270
00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:16,361
Lord Hidetada will do anything you ask.
271
00:19:16,673 --> 00:19:17,977
By no means!
272
00:19:18,967 --> 00:19:20,510
You persuaded him...
273
00:19:20,846 --> 00:19:24,576
to allow you to accompany
Osen to Osaka.
274
00:19:25,212 --> 00:19:27,806
I was concerned about Osen.
275
00:19:28,650 --> 00:19:32,001
It was to entrust Osen
to our sister, Yodo.
276
00:19:32,325 --> 00:19:34,222
In that case,
wouldn't you feel safer...
277
00:19:34,558 --> 00:19:38,948
to entrust your youngest
to me instead of a stranger?
278
00:19:40,902 --> 00:19:44,456
Please share the Asai bloodline...
279
00:19:44,730 --> 00:19:47,355
with the Kyogoku house.
280
00:19:48,076 --> 00:19:50,512
Please, Ogou.
281
00:19:50,796 --> 00:19:52,528
I am Katsu.
282
00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:54,904
Thank you for this meeting.
283
00:19:55,373 --> 00:19:58,066
We rely upon your help, sir.
284
00:19:58,489 --> 00:20:00,265
And we upon yours.
285
00:20:11,314 --> 00:20:12,114
An heir?!
286
00:20:13,548 --> 00:20:15,331
- Did you say an heir?!
- Yes.
287
00:20:29,850 --> 00:20:31,581
Praise the great god, Hachiman!
288
00:20:33,815 --> 00:20:35,268
Well done, Ogou!
289
00:20:37,365 --> 00:20:38,988
Thank you, My Lord.
290
00:20:39,674 --> 00:20:42,996
Now my pride is restored!
291
00:20:44,004 --> 00:20:46,332
How happy Father will be.
292
00:21:14,335 --> 00:21:20,028
Great Minister of the Left,
Minamoto Hidetada...
293
00:21:20,695 --> 00:21:28,915
is named Prime Minister.
294
00:21:33,953 --> 00:21:39,828
Great Minister of the Right,
Minamoto Iemitsu...
295
00:21:40,188 --> 00:21:45,188
is named Great Minister of the Left.
296
00:22:09,851 --> 00:22:11,077
Mother!
297
00:22:29,683 --> 00:22:31,589
She is moving her lips.
298
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:34,978
It's true.
299
00:22:38,550 --> 00:22:40,417
She must be dreaming.
300
00:22:55,016 --> 00:22:56,559
Well done, Ogou!
301
00:22:57,106 --> 00:22:58,497
Thank you, Sir.
302
00:22:59,391 --> 00:23:07,046
Four girls, and finally a boy!
I was worried!
303
00:23:07,607 --> 00:23:09,546
Forgive me, Father.
304
00:23:10,411 --> 00:23:15,311
Now I can make Hidetada successor
without worries!
305
00:23:18,095 --> 00:23:19,597
Remember, Ogou...
306
00:23:20,053 --> 00:23:22,972
Takechiyo is no ordinary child.
307
00:23:23,487 --> 00:23:27,346
He has been born heir
to the shogunate!
308
00:23:27,928 --> 00:23:33,376
I shall remember and devote
myself to his training.
309
00:23:34,145 --> 00:23:38,759
It is best to leave his training
to a capable vassal.
310
00:23:40,707 --> 00:23:44,239
It is folly to leave the upbringing
of the Shogun's son...
311
00:23:44,525 --> 00:23:45,911
to doting parents!
312
00:23:46,286 --> 00:23:48,787
He must be separated from his parents...
313
00:23:49,131 --> 00:23:50,756
and rigorously trained!
314
00:23:51,149 --> 00:23:54,629
I am Saito Toshimitsu's daughter, Fuku.
315
00:23:55,896 --> 00:23:57,583
Saito Toshimitsu?
316
00:23:58,343 --> 00:24:00,553
Former vassal to Akechi Mitsuhide.
317
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:05,006
Tragically, he was defeated
in the Battle of Yamazaki...
318
00:24:05,364 --> 00:24:06,980
and crucified at Awataguchi.
319
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,605
Despite her appearance,
320
00:24:10,997 --> 00:24:15,058
Ofuku possesses incredible intelligence.
321
00:24:19,573 --> 00:24:22,085
You must take your medicine.
322
00:24:22,540 --> 00:24:24,944
Bear the bitter taste.
323
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,450
How is he?
324
00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:39,342
Does he have a fever?
325
00:24:42,533 --> 00:24:43,995
I must wipe the perspiration.
326
00:24:55,465 --> 00:24:56,763
You did it, Ogou!
327
00:24:57,691 --> 00:24:59,018
Another son!
328
00:25:02,286 --> 00:25:05,754
Now I can face Father.
I thank you, Ogou.
329
00:25:06,862 --> 00:25:07,857
Your Excellency...
330
00:25:08,567 --> 00:25:09,858
What?
Are you okay?
331
00:25:10,545 --> 00:25:14,139
I don't wish to let anyone
have this child!
332
00:25:15,719 --> 00:25:18,146
I will raise him with my own hands.
333
00:25:22,970 --> 00:25:24,612
May I, My Lord?!
334
00:25:27,129 --> 00:25:29,742
Yes. Do so, if you wish.
335
00:25:30,377 --> 00:25:31,832
I'm the Shogun.
336
00:25:32,174 --> 00:25:34,375
I'll not break my word.
Rest assured.
337
00:25:36,693 --> 00:25:38,816
Thank you, My Lord.
338
00:25:39,909 --> 00:25:41,680
Oh, you've come, Takechiyo?
339
00:25:42,242 --> 00:25:43,864
Come forward.
340
00:25:51,910 --> 00:25:54,861
Masazumi. Serve him some sweets.
341
00:26:07,644 --> 00:26:09,831
Karukan cakes. They're good!
342
00:26:10,224 --> 00:26:11,316
Thank you, Grandfather!
343
00:26:11,581 --> 00:26:12,473
Thank you.
344
00:26:14,554 --> 00:26:15,738
Back, Kunichiyo!
345
00:26:18,333 --> 00:26:23,629
You are a vassal
who must serve Takechiyo.
346
00:26:25,787 --> 00:26:27,020
Get back, I say!
347
00:26:56,691 --> 00:26:57,552
Begone!
348
00:26:57,819 --> 00:26:59,286
No, I will not!
349
00:27:00,104 --> 00:27:03,272
Go to Osaka and stop this war!
350
00:27:03,478 --> 00:27:04,208
Calm down, Ogou!
351
00:27:04,848 --> 00:27:07,115
Will you allow Osen to be killed?!
352
00:27:07,895 --> 00:27:10,777
It's the samurai way.
It can't be helped!
353
00:27:11,115 --> 00:27:13,496
The samurai way?
That's absurd!
354
00:27:13,948 --> 00:27:15,790
Are you so ambitious to rule Japan...
355
00:27:16,008 --> 00:27:19,335
that you would sacrifice
women and children?!
356
00:27:19,556 --> 00:27:21,764
Watch your words, woman!
357
00:27:21,994 --> 00:27:24,336
If they displease you, kill me!
358
00:27:24,592 --> 00:27:25,493
You dare...!
359
00:27:25,961 --> 00:27:28,071
Hold! Hold!
360
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,995
But I must also remonstrate with you!
361
00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:37,371
In all this world,
362
00:27:37,664 --> 00:27:40,589
nothing is as evil as war!
363
00:27:46,982 --> 00:27:48,152
Takechiyo?
364
00:28:00,965 --> 00:28:01,996
Who's there?
365
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:07,309
Takechiyo...
366
00:28:12,143 --> 00:28:13,944
What's the meaning of this?
367
00:28:17,482 --> 00:28:21,029
How frightening.
And you a boy...
368
00:28:27,020 --> 00:28:29,471
Can this be my son?
369
00:28:31,017 --> 00:28:32,018
Clear the room.
370
00:28:32,268 --> 00:28:33,634
Kunichiyo, Kazu, too...
371
00:28:42,865 --> 00:28:44,304
What's the matter?
372
00:28:47,376 --> 00:28:49,333
Prepare yourself, now...
373
00:28:49,643 --> 00:28:52,315
The Ogosho has petitioned
for Kazu to wed the Emperor.
374
00:28:53,772 --> 00:28:55,471
To be Imperial Consort!
375
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,034
And what happened?
376
00:28:59,384 --> 00:29:00,896
I don't know yet.
377
00:29:01,238 --> 00:29:04,101
The Court must be in an uproar, though.
378
00:29:06,707 --> 00:29:09,160
Of our five daughters,
379
00:29:09,442 --> 00:29:11,527
Osen wed into the Toyotomi house,
380
00:29:11,802 --> 00:29:13,959
Otama wed into the Maeda house,
381
00:29:14,255 --> 00:29:17,118
Okatsu wed Matsudaira Tadanao,
382
00:29:17,411 --> 00:29:19,318
Ohatsu wed into the Kyogoku house,
383
00:29:19,635 --> 00:29:23,060
and the last, Kazu,
will wed into the Imperial house.
384
00:29:23,991 --> 00:29:25,696
I wonder who will be happiest?
385
00:29:26,525 --> 00:29:27,945
Who knows?
386
00:29:28,371 --> 00:29:31,024
The Imperial house is the
greatest in the land.
387
00:29:32,524 --> 00:29:34,435
No, My Lord.
388
00:29:34,791 --> 00:29:38,701
A woman does not necessarily
derive happiness from status.
389
00:29:39,196 --> 00:29:44,608
What? Then are you unhappy
being the Shogun's wife?
390
00:29:45,341 --> 00:29:47,759
I am very happy.
391
00:29:48,730 --> 00:29:53,525
With you, a kindly man,
I had two sons and five daughters.
392
00:29:54,355 --> 00:29:56,807
I didn't have
a mother-in-law to serve.
393
00:29:57,264 --> 00:30:00,512
Nor did I have to be jealous
of young concubines.
394
00:30:01,420 --> 00:30:04,418
If he has a hidden son,
the child will be third son...
395
00:30:04,623 --> 00:30:06,059
after Takechiyo and Kunichiyo.
396
00:30:06,323 --> 00:30:08,856
Since Kenshoin has said
he is a Takeda son,
397
00:30:09,238 --> 00:30:11,455
he cannot be the Shogun's third son.
398
00:30:12,262 --> 00:30:14,679
I hope he will not be a source of trouble.
399
00:30:15,161 --> 00:30:17,641
First, I must learn who his mother is.
400
00:30:17,894 --> 00:30:19,921
Please refrain from needless inquiry.
401
00:30:20,221 --> 00:30:21,662
Needless inquiry?
402
00:30:22,163 --> 00:30:24,691
The Shogun has his reputation to uphold.
403
00:30:25,375 --> 00:30:27,593
If your needless prying should
embarrass him,
404
00:30:27,889 --> 00:30:32,391
even our gentle Shogun will be angry.
405
00:30:33,304 --> 00:30:37,476
It could even cause discord
in your marriage!
406
00:30:37,766 --> 00:30:40,954
Vexing!
407
00:30:44,829 --> 00:30:46,657
Pitiful child...
408
00:30:48,002 --> 00:30:51,504
Was there ever a child
as pitiful as Tama?
409
00:30:53,675 --> 00:30:58,968
She was torn from us
at the tender age of three.
410
00:31:00,283 --> 00:31:05,019
How lonely you must have been, Tama.
411
00:31:07,976 --> 00:31:10,049
I've done a terrible thing.
412
00:31:11,845 --> 00:31:17,050
If she were in Edo,
we could have attended her death.
413
00:31:18,038 --> 00:31:22,289
Otama must surely resent us.
414
00:31:25,788 --> 00:31:30,145
We sent a small child to the
farthest land in the north.
415
00:31:31,692 --> 00:31:34,602
How can she not hate us?!
416
00:31:35,974 --> 00:31:37,382
Forgive me!
417
00:31:38,126 --> 00:31:39,666
It was for the shogunate.
418
00:31:40,199 --> 00:31:42,442
Women are not tools!
419
00:31:43,275 --> 00:31:44,414
I know...
420
00:31:44,871 --> 00:31:49,676
Osen and Okatsu are also
suffering for the shogunate!
421
00:31:52,861 --> 00:31:57,932
The Tosho Dai-Gongen is an ogre!
422
00:32:00,306 --> 00:32:03,919
You were a finer wife
than ever I deserved.
423
00:32:05,341 --> 00:32:07,636
Please be truthful.
424
00:32:08,784 --> 00:32:10,298
I'm telling the truth.
425
00:32:11,197 --> 00:32:13,513
Have you never wished to divorce me?
426
00:32:14,692 --> 00:32:16,224
Not once.
427
00:32:21,057 --> 00:32:25,718
You taught me many and all things.
428
00:32:26,401 --> 00:32:29,500
And, you bore me two sons
and five daughters.
429
00:32:30,052 --> 00:32:34,162
How could I be what I am without you?
430
00:32:34,793 --> 00:32:40,456
Ogou, you are my benefactress
and my support.
431
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,572
A wife no one can replace.
432
00:32:54,096 --> 00:32:56,836
Though I am unworthy,
433
00:32:57,282 --> 00:33:01,597
I shall love you for all eternity.
434
00:33:09,117 --> 00:33:11,042
Ogou...
435
00:33:36,659 --> 00:33:44,424
Kyoto Imperial Palace
436
00:34:02,821 --> 00:34:03,925
Mother?
437
00:34:09,849 --> 00:34:13,587
She will not survive this time.
438
00:34:15,602 --> 00:34:19,534
Imperial Consort Masako
(Hidetada's 5th daughter)
439
00:34:19,809 --> 00:34:21,637
We must send someone...
440
00:34:21,946 --> 00:34:24,601
No, there's no need to hurry.
441
00:34:28,071 --> 00:34:31,102
For Lady Ogou's sake,
442
00:34:31,616 --> 00:34:35,506
I pray that the Imperial Consort
remains serene...
443
00:34:35,882 --> 00:34:45,605
and bears a healthy child.
444
00:34:47,618 --> 00:34:48,666
Yes.
445
00:34:50,580 --> 00:34:53,977
The greatest happiness for a parent...
446
00:34:54,542 --> 00:34:58,325
is the happiness of his children.
447
00:35:06,074 --> 00:35:10,548
September 15
448
00:35:41,068 --> 00:35:42,170
How is she?
449
00:35:42,844 --> 00:35:45,672
It is over, My Lady.
450
00:35:50,812 --> 00:35:52,035
Ogou!
451
00:35:53,875 --> 00:35:56,969
Why did you hasten to your death...
452
00:35:57,218 --> 00:35:59,367
leaving me all alone?
453
00:36:00,376 --> 00:36:03,914
Did our older sister come for you?
454
00:36:04,298 --> 00:36:05,642
Sister!
455
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:07,219
Mother!
456
00:36:47,247 --> 00:36:48,451
My Lord?
457
00:36:50,057 --> 00:36:51,725
It's Gou.
458
00:37:17,512 --> 00:37:18,660
Ogou...
459
00:37:19,989 --> 00:37:22,576
I pray that you are well.
460
00:37:23,970 --> 00:37:26,308
When did you arrive in Kyoto?
461
00:37:26,794 --> 00:37:28,340
Have you recovered?
462
00:37:30,324 --> 00:37:32,843
I wished to thank you.
463
00:37:33,454 --> 00:37:34,731
Thank me?
464
00:37:35,598 --> 00:37:39,982
In all this world, no woman
was more fortunate than I.
465
00:37:40,627 --> 00:37:43,582
It was all due to you, My Lord.
466
00:37:45,279 --> 00:37:46,677
What nonsense.
467
00:37:47,845 --> 00:37:49,967
Iemitsu became Shogun...
468
00:37:50,485 --> 00:37:54,881
and Princess Kazu
became Imperial Consort.
469
00:37:55,351 --> 00:37:57,859
It was all due
to your efforts, Ogou.
470
00:37:59,674 --> 00:38:04,361
I am hardly worthy.
Thank you, My Lord.
471
00:38:05,984 --> 00:38:06,893
Ogou...
472
00:38:08,149 --> 00:38:09,569
Come here.
473
00:38:23,387 --> 00:38:26,268
Being occupied with state affairs,
474
00:38:26,577 --> 00:38:30,033
I fear I've left you alone too much.
475
00:38:32,186 --> 00:38:35,157
Let's withdraw to Odawara now...
476
00:38:35,514 --> 00:38:38,969
and live happily together.
477
00:38:41,531 --> 00:38:44,311
I can have no more children.
478
00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:48,940
How silly.
We have many grandchildren.
479
00:38:55,664 --> 00:38:57,319
You're cold...
480
00:38:58,847 --> 00:39:02,744
Cold. Your body is chilled through.
481
00:39:03,488 --> 00:39:06,071
We must summon a physician.
482
00:39:06,488 --> 00:39:11,668
Please let me remain like this.
483
00:39:17,688 --> 00:39:18,614
Ogou!
484
00:39:20,250 --> 00:39:21,377
Ogou!
485
00:40:01,101 --> 00:40:02,011
Mother...
486
00:40:39,891 --> 00:40:44,855
The sad news reached Nijo Castle
on September 18.
487
00:40:59,517 --> 00:41:00,950
The Shogun is here.
488
00:41:20,053 --> 00:41:21,364
Father...
489
00:41:23,641 --> 00:41:25,912
Our deepest condolences...
490
00:41:26,785 --> 00:41:31,562
on the death of Her Ladyship, My Lord.
491
00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:45,033
When will you return to Edo?
492
00:41:48,712 --> 00:41:54,223
We await your orders
concerning the funeral.
493
00:41:58,097 --> 00:42:00,417
I leave it to Iemitsu.
494
00:42:04,115 --> 00:42:06,714
I wish to remain here.
495
00:42:30,727 --> 00:42:33,681
October 18, 1626...
496
00:42:34,011 --> 00:42:37,322
Lady Ogou's body was cremated
at Azabu-no...
497
00:42:37,649 --> 00:42:40,809
and buried at Zojoji in Shiba.
498
00:42:41,469 --> 00:42:44,090
That year she was 54 years old.
499
00:42:44,469 --> 00:42:47,297
Her posthumous name was Sugen-in.
500
00:42:48,017 --> 00:42:50,751
Hidetada returned to Edo...
501
00:42:51,109 --> 00:42:55,731
three days after a grand funeral
had been held.
502
00:42:56,829 --> 00:42:58,299
To be continued.
503
00:42:59,155 --> 00:43:02,282
To be continued.
