On March 6, 1611,

To attend the ceremony for Emperor Goyozei's retirement and the coronation of the new emperor,

Ieyasu left Sunpu with his 50,000-strong army.

He arrived in Kyoto on March 17.

However...

Ieyasu had not requested Hideyori to come and see him in Kyoto.

Now, the entire nation is paying attention to Nijo Castle where leyasu is staying.

NIJO CASTLE That night...

Ieyasu called Kyoto Governor Itakura Katsushige over to Nijo Castle.

You know, Lord of Iga.

-I adore Lord Hideyori. -I know.

He is 19-years-old now.

So I decided to treat him as an adult who has his own discretion.

However...

ITAKURA KATSUSHIGE, KYOTO GOVERNOR Osaka Castle has Lady Yodo.

If Lord Hideyori does not move until the last moment,

What are you going to do?

I have a large enough heart...

...to offer him a helping hand when the last time comes.

Yes, sir.

Since the end of last year,

-Lord Kazue has been working hard here in Kyoto. -Yes.

We all adore Lord Hideyori.

The same night,

Asano Yoshinaga secretly went to the Higo Province's mansion in Fushimi.

Why hasn't leyasu said anything?

He might be just waiting for Osaka to say, "Lord Hideyori wants to go to Kyoto."

As long as Lady Yodo is there, that won't happen.

Ieyasu must know that.

Ieyasu will surely tell him to go to Kyoto.

He must be waiting for the right time.

When the time comes...?

When the time comes, we should go to Osaka Castle with Lady Kodai-in

To persuade Lady Yodo.

Yesterday, leyasu entered Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

PENAL COLONY, MT. KUDO

How's everything in Kyoto?

Since leyasu came with his 50,000-strong army,

People are getting scared of another battle.

Does he really need a 50,000-strong army just to go to Kyoto?

He wants to scare everybody.

What is going to happened in Kyoto?

Or nothing will happen?

Anyway, things are moving beyond the reach of our power.

Well...

Which means, I have been thrown around by this country's political tide?

-Saemon-no-suke. -Yes.

I want you to throw the country around someday.

NINJA HIDEOUT, SHIMO-KOGA, KYOTO

Miss Oko!

Why are you dressed like this?

Where did you go?

-Totoumi Province. -Totoumi?

I was watching over leyasu's army on their way to Kyoto...

We cannot contact Sir Yagobei.

Probably he killed and got killed...

What!?

Killed and got killed...!?

Miss Oko!

Did he try to kill leyasu?

Miss Oko!

Let me sleep for now...

Damn leyasu...

Why hasn't he told him to go to Kyoto?

Yes...

Does he have another hidden purpose...?

Oh, no... I don't think so...

Fine.

No matter what the Kanto side says, don't let Lord Hideyori go to Kyoto.

Lord Hideyori is sick now.

All right?

He is sick, I said.

Yes...

I hate the season when flowers come off.

Osen.

Welcome, my lord.

Papa of Edo (Your grandpa) is staying in Kyoto now.

Really?

Are you going to see him there?

-These are from Lady Kodai-in in Kyoto. -Really?

Delicious.

Oh...

By the way...

Lord Kazue wants me to see Papa.

-What about you? -I want to see him.

Then, you should go to Kyoto.

What is the matter?

Go there or not, it'll become noisy...

Sen, do you remember Papa?

Yes.

I have pulled his beard when I was little.

You did?

Yes...

That's funny!

Mother.

Lord Hideyori.

Please do not walk around even if you are in the castle.

Why? I'm in my wife's room.

You cannot be safe, even inside the castle, inside your private quarter.

Who brought these candies?

We did, ma'am.

-You taste it first. -Mother!

Hurry.

Excuse me!

-It is fine, my lord. -Mother...!

-You're doing too much...! -That's because...

Somebody might want to cheat you and poison you.

I'm just worried.

Please understand your mother's love...

Mother...?

You needn't to stay here too long.

Here... Come on...

Lord.

The Senior Shogun hasn't said anything to Osaka.

He hasn't urged yet, probably because...

IIDA KAKUBEI, KATO'S KEY VASSAL ...he is going to tell them at the last minute.

Then, Lord Hideyori cannot go no matter what.

I don't think a leader like leyasu will play such a trick, but...

It is Baishun, sir.

Ah, come on in.

How do you like the dishes?

Tastes good. Shapes good. You are the best cook.

KATAYAMA BAISHUN I am very honored.

Master Baishun.

Ah, Sir Banno.

-How was the lord doing? -Yes?

Well, he seems to be tired recently running around.

I just wonder if he is in good health.

He eats good and drinks good.

Is that so?

He is fine as long as he eats good.

I'm relieved.

He works for Kato Kiyomasa's long-time vassal, lida Kakubei.

His name is Banno Kyuemon.

OSAKA CASTLE And...

On March 30, three days after leyasu arrived Kyoto...

Katagiri Katsumoto, who went to greet leyasu in Kyoto for Hideyori,

Came back with a letter from leyasu.

"It has been a long time since I saw you last time."

"But I am delighted to hear that you are growing up good."

"I would very much like to see you during my stay in Kyoto."

Finally,

Ieyasu requested Hideyori to go and see him in Kyoto.

LADY KODAI-INFS RESIDENCE This is what my master Lord Kazue said.

"I am going to Osaka with Sir Asano Sakyo Dayu."

"Please go to Osaka immediately."

All right. I'm leaving now.

Next day,

Kodai-in went to Osaka Castle with Kato Kiyomasa and Asano Yoshinaga.

Lord Hideyori, I am overjoyed to see you in excellent spirits.

Mother, I am glad to see you.

You have grown well.

Let me get down to business.

Lady Yodo.

If you don't let Lord Hideyori go to Kyoto,

The Kando side won't remain silent this time.

At this critical time when the imperial coronation is being held,

If you cause trouble, what would you do?

Lady Yodo.

I would like you to think over what Lady Kodai-in just said.

To make the Toyotomi clan prosper forever,

You should not provoke things at this moment.

-Lord Kazue, you, too...? -Well.

Lord Kazue is right, I think.

-Your Excellency! -Please do not worry.

I and Sakyo-dayu will protect him with our lives.

-My lady. -Excuse me.

A messenger from Lord leyasu just arrived.

-Escort him in. -Yes!

What brought you here, Mr. Messenger?

This is what the Senior Shogun said.

"I would like Lord Hideyori to see me in Kyoto by all means."

"If your mother is worried about something..."

"I will send Yoshinao and Yorinobu to Osaka Castle."

This is the message from the Senior Shogun, sir.

What do you think?

Lord leyasu is being so considerate.

Please take care of it...

Yes, ma'am!

Good.

It's all settled.

Mother.

I don't think Papa will capture me and eat me up.

It's been years since I saw him last time...

News on Hideyori's decision to go to Kyoto was reported to Oko from Kosuke in Lady Kodai-in's residence.

Oko reported the news to Yukimura on Mt. Kudo.

Lord Hideyori is going to Kyoto...

Sasuke.

Kakubei betrayed us? What does it mean?

Miss Oko just gave this letter to me.

Sir Kakubei betrayed us? What does it mean?

-She saw Kakubei with Yamanaka ninja from Koga. -My goodness...!

Yagobei went out to kill leyasu on his way to Kyoto.

We haven't heard from him for a whole month.

-Sir Yagobei...? -Sasuke.

Don't tell my father anything about Lord Hideyori, Kakubei and Yagobei.

It makes him depressed.

Maybe...

I have to live here for the rest of my life...

It has grown a lot...

When we moved over here 11 years ago, you planted that tree.

How long have we been married?

46 years.

-I see. -Yes.

You didn't like me from the start.

Well, Lord Shingen forced me to marry you. I couldn't help it.

Also, I had a girlfriend around that time.

-Genjiro's mother, right? -Oh, no.

Oh, right. That was her.

Well, you were reluctant to marry me, weren't you?

Yes, I was.

I was very sad. I just kept crying.

Then 46 years have passed...

Yes.

Looking back, I went to battles one after another.

Same for me.

Every time when I found out your girlfriends, I felt like being engaged in battle.

You must have gotten used to such battles...

You made me get used to it.

Not at all.

Since it has come to this, I am having fun now.

We went through numerous things.

Now, I have you to be at my bedside when I die.

I don't want to do that.

You don't?

I don't want you to die before me.

Are you going to die before me?

How cold-hearted!

Battles are are all cold-hearted.

I want to fight you until the very end of my life.

What are you doing?

So this is the hand of a woman who has been fighting for more than 40 years?

I made her grow older.

On March 27, 1611,

Emperor Goyozei passed the throne to Emperor Gomizuno.

The next day (March 28),

Hideyori entered Nijo Castle in Kyoto to see leyasu.

He is the Taiko's heir!

How handsome!

Lord Hideyori!

Oh, no...!

That's Sir Saemon-no-suke...

Nijo Castle is considered to be the Tokugawa's mansion in Kyoto.

Ieyasu and Hideyori are finally seeing each other.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you for coming.

Look at you! You have grown magnificently.

I am your papa from Edo, my lord.

Your papa came from Edo.

Glad to see you, Papa.

How mature you sound.

I'm glad to see you, too.

Hey, everyone.

He is Lord Hideyori, the heir of the late Taiko.

I'm glad to see you grown up well.

I bet the late Taiko is being overjoyed in heaven.

How old are you, papa?

How old I am?

I turned 70.

What's the secret of longevity? Hawk-hunting?

Lord Hideyori, do you know my hobby?

Sen told me about you.

I can't get to see her, but is she well?

Yes.

That's good.

My only wish is to see my great-grandchild as soon as possible.

Yes.

Good.

You are making me happy, my lord.

You are making me happy.

After Hideyori saw leyasu,

Kiyomasa chartered boats travelling down the river west of his shimo-yashiki (villa).

He entertained Hideyori cordially.

This is delicious!

Our clan's chef, Katayama Baishun, made it.

He ground fish meat and boiled it in hot water. It's called kamaboko.

-Kamaboko (Fish cake)? -Yes.

Can I bring it with me to Osaka?

Of course.

Baishun will be so happy if he hears that you liked it.

I wonder what leyasu thought about townspeople rejoicing at Lord Hideyori.

I guess he just felt annoying, or he thought he cannot touch him carelessly...

He might try to move Lord Hideyori out of Osaka.

Lord Hideyori has grown dazzlingly.

The Toyotomi clan will survive well, I thought.

However...

What did leyasu think when he saw Lord Hideyori's fine growth?

This won't settle things.

That can't be it.

The Kanto side will make another unreasonable demand on the Toyotomi clan.

Ieyasu will not be so long in this world.

He knows that more than anybody else.

With little time left, one becomes impatient.

So did the Taiko, and the same for leyasu.

I can't go to the better beyond yet.

On the same night...

Who is it?

Oh, it was you, Sir Banno.

-Is there anything I can do? -There is.

You should have just called me over.

I'm impressed with your swiftness.

-Sir Okubo Jinshichi. -How do you know my real name?

Look at this.

The small copper medals were carried by Koga ninja who were assigned to special missions.

An order, huh?

Right.

What's this?

Poison. I just received it from Koga.

Are you telling me to use this?

-Right. -To who?

To Lord of Kazue.

To my lord!?

This poison works very slowly.

It starts working a couple of days later.

It kills the person two months later.

I understood...

See ya.

Katayama Baishun was a Koga ninja who infiltrated into the Kato family 30 years ago.

Several days later...

Kiyomasa visited Lady Yodo to report how Hideyori met leyasu.

To tell the truth,

Accompanying Young Lord was my last loyal mission before my death.

I accompanied him hiding this sword that I received from the late Taiko.

What for?

If I found leyasu's hidden intention to scrap the Toyotomi clan,

I was determined to stab each other with him.

However, leyasu seems to be a man of high caliber deeply trusted by the late Taiko.

He doesn't seem to have the slightest evil intention of fighting the Toyotomi clan.

Let me tell you now.

If there is anyone who will destroy the Toyotomi clan,

That's not the Tokugawa clan.

That's somebody from the Toyotomi clan.

What are you saying?

Lord of Kazue.

What do you want to tell me?

These are my last words. Please never forget them.

I would be delighted if you remember.

Lord of Kazue, thanks for coming.

HIGO MANSION, FUSHIMI

Welcome home, my lord.

Lord!

Call the doctor!

Wait!

Don't panic.

Don't tell anybody about my illness.

Don't let leyasu find out.

-Kaku. -Yes.

-I lost to leyasu's longevity. -Lord!

After my death, I want my son Torafuji to take over this clan.

Hurry and report my will to Sunpu.

-To Sunpu? -Right. To leyasu.

If we are late, the Kato clan will be scrapped.

Lord.

Lord!

Meanwhile,

In Ueda, Nobuyuki received a message from Suzuki Ukon about Yukimura's appearance in Kyoto.

Sir Saemon-no-suke did?

Sounds like he is doing well.

So your family are allowed to go out, aren't they?

No.

It's been 11 years since they confined themselves on Mt. Kudo.

With no chance to be pardoned now, they must be self-abandoned.

Lord.

Do you have a moment?

Excuse me.

-About the Koga ninja hideout? -Yes.

Did you come up with any good idea to make them leave Ueda?

Yes.

The kimono store will suffer from a fire tonight.

Robber! Somebody, help!

Oh, no! Fire!

Hey! Are you OK?

Hurry!

My piece goods!

Somebody! Please save my piece goods!

Are you awake, my lord?

-Come in. -Yes.

I am sorry to bother you early in the morning.

The kimono store suffered from a fire last night.

Sounds like the fire started when the store was robbed.

And the store owner is?

He disappeared.

Kiroku.

Oh, Sir Hikoshiro...

It worked well.

Nobody would think that we set the fire because they found out our ninja hideout.

I'm going to Koga now.

I don't want anyone, even my allies, to know who I am.

We have been undercover since my father's generation. This is our mission.

The robber seems to have run away after killing two male clerks and one maid.

What?

The fire must have started...

...from the torch the robber carried. Sliding doors caught it while they were fighting each other.

-The store owner is? -He ran away.

We have no idea where he went. I'm impressed with the ninja.

The fire didn't burn the neighbors, did it?

Three houses got burnt.

I'm sorry for them.

Give houses to the one who lost their houses.

Yes.

Well...

The robber forced into the Koga ninja house and slew three.

He must be really skilled.

Summer came to Mt. Kudo.

Feels good.

Please don't move.

Going to bathroom?

Help me stand up.

Slowly.

My lord...!

My lord!!

Somebody...

Somebody!! Come!!

My lord...

Dear.

My lord...!

They say, "A man's life is 50 years," but...

I lived as long as 65 years...

It was like a dream...

A dream...

Father...

Father!

People whom I know are waiting at the gateway to the other world...

Oh... My father's there...

Otoku is there...

Matagoro, too...

Shall I have another dream with them up there...?

-Saemon-no-suke. -Yes.

Help me have the dream.

The faraway dream of mine...

Father.

Father!

-My lord! -Father!

My lord!

So it ended...

Sasuke immediately reported Masayuki's death to the Sanada ninja hideout in Shimo-Koga.

My lord!!

Meanwhile,

Suzuki Ukon at Fushimi Mansion sent an urgent messenger to Ueda.

Urgent messenger from Kyoto, my lord!

What is it?

On June 14, Lord of Awa passed away on Mt. Kudo.

You may go now...

Saemon-no-suke.

Help me have the dream.

The faraway dream of mine...

Genzaburo.

I'm counting on you.

Father...

On this night,

A shooting star flew over Ueda Castle and disappeared.
