1
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:19,902
Date: May 13, 1630.

2
00:01:20,862 --> 00:01:25,408
Weather: Pretty good. The
Heat increases every hour.

3
00:01:27,493 --> 00:01:31,289
It was 10 in the morning and
honorable heir Bennosuke

4
00:01:32,039 --> 00:01:36,002
had left, carrying
fresh river trout

5
00:01:36,377 --> 00:01:40,339
to give it to Mr. Doy,
towards whose mansion he was heading.

6
00:01:40,965 --> 00:01:44,302
No incident worth mentioning
mention up to that point.

7
00:01:44,552 --> 00:01:47,722
The day passed normally.

8
00:01:48,598 --> 00:01:52,059
However, around noon,

9
00:01:53,144 --> 00:01:57,899
a warrior who had been many
years serving Mr. Geishu

10
00:01:59,275 --> 00:02:01,736
appeared at our door.

11
00:02:19,712 --> 00:02:23,090
HARAKIRI

12
00:04:33,345 --> 00:04:36,974
Do you say that you are a warrior who has
been serving Mr. Geishu?

13
00:04:37,183 --> 00:04:38,517
That is.

14
00:04:39,143 --> 00:04:42,772
And my name is Hanshiro Tsugumo.

15
00:04:43,856 --> 00:04:46,567
"Tsu" as in "Ohtsu"

16
00:04:47,568 --> 00:04:49,862
and "Gumo" for the clouds in the sky.

17
00:04:51,572 --> 00:04:54,075
And what exactly have you come for?

18
00:04:54,825 --> 00:04:58,788
The fall of my lord
It took place 11 years ago.

19
00:04:59,872 --> 00:05:02,958
Since then, I have lived badly in Edo

20
00:05:03,250 --> 00:05:08,089
and I have managed to survive while
I was looking for another decent job

21
00:05:08,714 --> 00:05:13,260
under a new lord who would be interested
for my services as a samurai.

22
00:05:13,928 --> 00:05:18,307
But, in these times of
peace, everything has been in vain

23
00:05:18,808 --> 00:05:21,936
and I have already lost
hope complete.

24
00:05:22,561 --> 00:05:25,439
The years have passed
and he hasn't found anything.

25
00:05:25,606 --> 00:05:27,858
Lacking a means of subsistence,

26
00:05:28,025 --> 00:05:32,321
life has become intolerable
and it makes no sense to him.

27
00:05:33,322 --> 00:05:38,285
Therefore, instead of continuing to live
in extreme poverty and misfortune,

28
00:05:38,536 --> 00:05:42,289
prefers to die with honor
for the rite of harakiri

29
00:05:42,623 --> 00:05:47,044
and begs to be given some corner
of the mansion to do it.

30
00:05:48,212 --> 00:05:50,422
That has been your request.

31
00:05:52,675 --> 00:05:55,469
Another one looking for the same thing?

32
00:05:56,220 --> 00:05:58,139
Will it never end?

33
00:06:00,266 --> 00:06:02,434
Lord, what do you wish to do?

34
00:06:06,272 --> 00:06:08,732
Okay, I'll see you.

35
00:06:34,508 --> 00:06:35,593
Mister.

36
00:06:37,178 --> 00:06:38,429
Forward.

37
00:06:43,142 --> 00:06:44,768
You can pass.

38
00:07:09,501 --> 00:07:11,170
I am an old warrior

39
00:07:12,296 --> 00:07:15,841
who was at the service
of the lord of Geishu.

40
00:07:16,508 --> 00:07:19,261
My name is Hanshiro Tsugumo.

41
00:07:20,346 --> 00:07:22,806
I thank you for receiving me.

42
00:07:24,141 --> 00:07:28,103
I am Kageyu Saito,
head of the house of Iyi.

43
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:31,607
I am indebted to you for receiving me.

44
00:07:32,942 --> 00:07:36,237
-The reason for my visit...
- I am perfectly informed.

45
00:07:38,489 --> 00:07:42,993
Instead of continuing to live
in extreme poverty,

46
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,289
you prefer to die with
honor for harakiri.

47
00:07:48,415 --> 00:07:51,961
- That's what you want, right?
- Yes.

48
00:07:53,462 --> 00:07:57,341
Really, it's an attitude
worthy of admiration.

49
00:07:58,425 --> 00:08:01,428
I am very impressed
for your decision.

50
00:08:02,930 --> 00:08:07,768
But you said that you have
served to the former lord of Geishu.

51
00:08:08,644 --> 00:08:11,772
So maybe
you met Motome Chijiwa.

52
00:08:12,940 --> 00:08:14,650
Chijiwa?

53
00:08:15,609 --> 00:08:17,278
Yes.

54
00:08:19,196 --> 00:08:20,489
I don't know...

55
00:08:21,365 --> 00:08:23,575
Does the name not ring a bell?

56
00:08:23,993 --> 00:08:27,371
Like you, he too
He served the lord of Geishu.

57
00:08:28,622 --> 00:08:32,376
In his good times,
the Geishu Clan had

58
00:08:32,793 --> 00:08:34,753
with about 12,000 employees.

59
00:08:36,213 --> 00:08:38,465
I'm afraid I don't know him.

60
00:08:39,091 --> 00:08:42,636
It's natural, but it doesn't matter.

61
00:08:43,721 --> 00:08:47,683
At the beginning of this year,
maybe at the end of january,

62
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,603
another warrior, one Motome Chijiwa,

63
00:08:53,063 --> 00:08:55,441
came to this mansion with an intention

64
00:08:56,817 --> 00:09:00,779
identical to yours: he asked me
permission to die for harakiri.

65
00:09:02,364 --> 00:09:03,782
I understand.

66
00:09:09,788 --> 00:09:14,501
Are you interested in knowing how it went?
How did you accomplish your mission?

67
00:09:16,462 --> 00:09:18,255
I hear you.

68
00:09:18,547 --> 00:09:20,632
Did you say that you are...?

69
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:23,802
That you have served the lord of Geishu?

70
00:09:24,094 --> 00:09:27,890
Exact. I was one of
the warriors of the clan.

71
00:09:29,391 --> 00:09:32,144
I am known as Motome Chijiwa.

72
00:09:32,936 --> 00:09:35,564
And what have you come to look for?

73
00:09:36,648 --> 00:09:38,442
The disappearance of our clan

74
00:09:38,609 --> 00:09:42,654
forced me to live in a
humble home here, in Edo.

75
00:09:43,447 --> 00:09:45,699
I have barely managed to survive,

76
00:09:46,575 --> 00:09:50,371
while I trusted in power
one day serve a new master.

77
00:09:51,830 --> 00:09:54,917
But in a world of
peace like now,

78
00:09:56,210 --> 00:09:58,253
I don't have any hope.

79
00:10:09,848 --> 00:10:11,892
I already knew what would happen.

80
00:10:14,728 --> 00:10:18,607
- So, what do you plan to do?
- Let me see.

81
00:10:21,485 --> 00:10:23,695
A truly deplorable state.

82
00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:29,118
The Sengotu clan should never have done it.
Now they have set a precedent.

83
00:10:29,284 --> 00:10:33,080
- No, I don't agree.
- Why not?

84
00:10:34,248 --> 00:10:36,917
The ancient warrior
entered the Sengoku mansion

85
00:10:37,084 --> 00:10:42,005
he was totally sincere, he had
true intention to die.

86
00:10:42,714 --> 00:10:46,009
And they, moved by his sincerity,

87
00:10:46,427 --> 00:10:50,973
They decided to welcome him as
employee, they did not make a mistake.

88
00:10:52,099 --> 00:10:54,852
They did the right thing.

89
00:10:56,770 --> 00:10:59,898
It is the others, those who imitate him,

90
00:11:00,023 --> 00:11:02,734
those who make us fall
everyone in shame.

91
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:07,948
Far from wishing for death,
They only seek material help.

92
00:11:09,032 --> 00:11:11,618
They are nothing more than some
vulgar extortioners.

93
00:11:11,785 --> 00:11:16,165
But we can't let him die
at our door like a dog.

94
00:11:17,458 --> 00:11:20,502
That's why I say that
let's offer alms

95
00:11:20,669 --> 00:11:23,714
so that it goes where it has
come, as the other clans do.

96
00:11:24,423 --> 00:11:27,426
No. That is not convenient.

97
00:11:28,552 --> 00:11:29,678
No?

98
00:11:30,220 --> 00:11:32,222
If we give one some coins,

99
00:11:32,723 --> 00:11:35,434
soon they will come to
crowd at our door.

100
00:11:35,601 --> 00:11:37,644
They would come to us

101
00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:41,398
with as much insistence as
The flies flock to the honey.

102
00:11:43,317 --> 00:11:47,863
After the civil war ended,
there are many unemployed warriors

103
00:11:49,406 --> 00:11:52,284
who look for food like
animals all over the country.

104
00:11:55,329 --> 00:11:58,290
Iyi's house is an honest house.

105
00:12:01,668 --> 00:12:05,506
Its reputation for value and
morality had been sufficient

106
00:12:05,672 --> 00:12:08,800
to keep away
to the ancient warriors.

107
00:12:12,221 --> 00:12:13,889
But what happens now?

108
00:12:14,973 --> 00:12:17,226
Even the pride that
they give martial arts,

109
00:12:17,768 --> 00:12:19,520
It's something that belongs to the past,

110
00:12:20,145 --> 00:12:23,899
that has been swept away by everyone
these years of life in peace.

111
00:12:25,067 --> 00:12:29,780
Those are the rumors that are circulating
from one end of the country to the other.

112
00:12:31,532 --> 00:12:33,534
The lord is absent

113
00:12:33,909 --> 00:12:38,163
and those harmful rumors are
are spreading in their absence.

114
00:12:38,330 --> 00:12:40,374
We can't allow it!

115
00:12:41,792 --> 00:12:44,545
At no time has
crossed my mind

116
00:12:45,212 --> 00:12:48,257
the idea of bribing him to
get it out of the way.

117
00:12:50,217 --> 00:12:53,428
It is very clear that it does not have
no intention to die.

118
00:12:54,221 --> 00:12:56,682
- But he dares to pretend...
- Honorable boss!

119
00:13:01,478 --> 00:13:02,729
I'll take care of it.

120
00:13:32,134 --> 00:13:33,635
With permission.

121
00:13:43,145 --> 00:13:47,065
I am Umenosuke Kawabe, employee
of the lord of this house.

122
00:13:47,524 --> 00:13:50,819
I am Motome Chijiwa, I have
served to the lord of Geishu.

123
00:13:51,528 --> 00:13:54,865
Please have the
Kindness of accompanying me.

124
00:13:55,032 --> 00:13:57,701
- Where to?
- To the bathroom.

125
00:14:02,914 --> 00:14:06,001
In the absence of the lord,
our honorable boss

126
00:14:06,418 --> 00:14:08,712
has decided to transmit your
request and your intention

127
00:14:08,879 --> 00:14:11,965
to our honored heir Bennosuke.

128
00:14:13,050 --> 00:14:17,971
Our young lord is very
moved and wants to talk to you.

129
00:14:21,975 --> 00:14:25,354
Am I granted an interview with
the honorable heir Bennosuke?

130
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,938
That is.

131
00:14:28,482 --> 00:14:31,777
But those clothes are not suitable.

132
00:14:34,696 --> 00:14:37,157
First you have to bathe and clean yourself.

133
00:14:37,407 --> 00:14:40,243
They are preparing more suitable clothes for you.

134
00:14:41,119 --> 00:14:43,872
I will do what you say.

135
00:14:46,249 --> 00:14:47,876
I am moved.

136
00:15:02,182 --> 00:15:03,433
It just can't be.

137
00:15:04,643 --> 00:15:06,269
I'm lucky.

138
00:15:08,146 --> 00:15:11,775
I seem to be dreaming, however...

139
00:15:12,526 --> 00:15:13,860
With permission.

140
00:15:26,915 --> 00:15:29,751
Sorry for the unexpected delay.

141
00:15:31,628 --> 00:15:34,589
- Now you have to change.
- Huh?

142
00:15:35,382 --> 00:15:37,342
And dress for the ritual.

143
00:16:07,164 --> 00:16:08,832
Are you surprised?

144
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,252
I don't understand. Didn't I have
What to see your heir?

145
00:16:15,422 --> 00:16:17,966
I know that you have expressed
his desire to receive me.

146
00:16:18,592 --> 00:16:19,968
It's very strange.

147
00:16:20,594 --> 00:16:23,889
- It must be a misunderstanding.
- No, I don't think so.

148
00:16:24,765 --> 00:16:28,310
The Honorable Umenosuke Kawabe
He was the one who told me.

149
00:16:30,020 --> 00:16:31,396
Kawabe, huh?

150
00:16:32,939 --> 00:16:34,649
I'm starting to understand.

151
00:16:35,692 --> 00:16:38,403
If possible.

152
00:16:40,947 --> 00:16:44,034
So, do you know?

153
00:16:44,910 --> 00:16:47,829
Yes, the situation is clear.

154
00:16:49,915 --> 00:16:54,377
I know that our honorable boss informed
of your situation in detail

155
00:16:54,544 --> 00:16:56,630
to our honored heir Bennosuke,

156
00:16:57,631 --> 00:17:00,425
who was deeply
moved by your courage

157
00:17:01,051 --> 00:17:04,805
and that he expressed his desire to
become one of us.

158
00:17:07,182 --> 00:17:09,309
"However," he said,

159
00:17:09,476 --> 00:17:12,646
"a samurai who is totally
determined to die for harakiri,

160
00:17:12,813 --> 00:17:15,774
You must have an unbreakable will.

161
00:17:18,318 --> 00:17:20,612
So I'm sure
that there will be nothing

162
00:17:21,822 --> 00:17:23,865
that can make you change your decision.

163
00:17:26,701 --> 00:17:31,581
Allow me, then, that I may
fulfill his last wish.

164
00:17:32,290 --> 00:17:35,836
I would gladly dedicate
to talk to him for a while,

165
00:17:37,295 --> 00:17:40,924
but Mr. Doi asks me,
offer you the courtesies of my house

166
00:17:41,091 --> 00:17:45,595
and let my men
witness the ritual.

167
00:17:46,263 --> 00:17:48,306
Make him a proud example."

168
00:17:49,224 --> 00:17:52,310
Those have been exactly
the words he said.

169
00:18:09,786 --> 00:18:12,831
Well, tell me, did you like it?

170
00:18:13,456 --> 00:18:15,542
A very interesting story,

171
00:18:16,459 --> 00:18:19,880
and, at the same time, very
own and very up to par

172
00:18:20,422 --> 00:18:23,383
of the brave traditions
from the house of Iyi.

173
00:18:24,426 --> 00:18:27,679
And now, what are
your intentions?

174
00:18:28,805 --> 00:18:30,599
How do you say?

175
00:18:32,142 --> 00:18:33,977
You mean this, I assume.

176
00:18:34,644 --> 00:18:35,770
Exactly.

177
00:18:40,775 --> 00:18:42,569
Don't worry about me.

178
00:18:43,445 --> 00:18:46,573
I came here with that
clear decision in my mind.

179
00:18:48,575 --> 00:18:53,413
It's okay, it's okay. I congratulate you
by your unbreakable will.

180
00:18:57,542 --> 00:18:59,294
Honorable Tsugumo,

181
00:19:00,462 --> 00:19:03,214
Maybe I should continue with my story.

182
00:19:03,965 --> 00:19:06,509
about that young Motome Chijiwa.

183
00:19:07,677 --> 00:19:09,346
I hear you.

184
00:19:09,888 --> 00:19:14,851
Come on, what are you waiting for?
There is no time to waste.

185
00:19:16,686 --> 00:19:18,897
Change your clothes.

186
00:19:19,981 --> 00:19:23,401
They are all ready
preparations for your harakiri.

187
00:19:27,530 --> 00:19:29,199
I request a favor.

188
00:19:31,451 --> 00:19:33,912
I beg you! Give me
a little time!

189
00:19:34,913 --> 00:19:38,375
- Do you want time?
- Yeah! I need some time!

190
00:19:38,541 --> 00:19:42,087
I promise you that I will return!
It will only be a few days!

191
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:46,800
I'm afraid it's too late.

192
00:19:48,176 --> 00:19:51,012
- But that's unfair.
- Unfair?

193
00:19:52,347 --> 00:19:57,227
Wasn't it you who came
to ask us to prepare the ritual?

194
00:19:57,394 --> 00:19:59,062
I beg you to forgive me!

195
00:19:59,771 --> 00:20:02,565
It will only be a day or two! I'll be back!

196
00:20:04,067 --> 00:20:06,945
The word of a samurai is sacred.

197
00:20:07,362 --> 00:20:08,863
It just can't be!

198
00:20:51,656 --> 00:20:54,743
This is the swordsman of
our lord, Hayato Yazaki.

199
00:20:55,785 --> 00:20:58,455
He is young, he likes action.

200
00:20:59,372 --> 00:21:02,792
A single movement,
and he or anyone else

201
00:21:04,044 --> 00:21:06,004
He will cut you open.

202
00:21:13,678 --> 00:21:16,181
Instead of ending
torn apart like a fish,

203
00:21:16,347 --> 00:21:20,018
don't miss this opportunity
and die with honor.

204
00:21:20,935 --> 00:21:23,646
Come on, you have to change your clothes.

205
00:21:54,677 --> 00:21:56,930
Listen to me, honorable ancestors.

206
00:21:58,890 --> 00:22:01,434
Forgive me for being unworthy
blood of the young warrior

207
00:22:01,601 --> 00:22:04,771
that disgraces our sacred garden.

208
00:22:19,828 --> 00:22:22,247
The honor of the family is at stake,

209
00:22:22,872 --> 00:22:25,500
the future of the Tokugawa clan,

210
00:22:27,335 --> 00:22:30,463
as well as the code
sacred of the samurai.

211
00:22:31,923 --> 00:22:35,844
I beg you to be
witnesses of my decision!

212
00:23:23,141 --> 00:23:25,059
The two swords?

213
00:23:25,810 --> 00:23:27,187
It's useless.

214
00:23:27,979 --> 00:23:31,441
With a sword like that, no
You wouldn't cut a radish.

215
00:23:33,276 --> 00:23:37,614
A samurai's sword is his
soul, even a bamboo sword.

216
00:23:38,072 --> 00:23:42,827
And you want to die for harakiri?
That young man is a poor devil.

217
00:23:46,623 --> 00:23:49,542
Excuse me, everything is already prepared.

218
00:24:06,142 --> 00:24:08,228
Honorable Motome Chijiwa,

219
00:24:10,605 --> 00:24:12,565
Instead of living in dishonor,

220
00:24:12,732 --> 00:24:16,527
you have chosen to die for him
sacred ritual of harakiri.

221
00:24:17,820 --> 00:24:20,073
A wish worthy of admiration

222
00:24:20,823 --> 00:24:23,868
and very typical of a true warrior.

223
00:24:26,329 --> 00:24:28,831
I'm ashamed to have to admit

224
00:24:29,916 --> 00:24:34,254
that even this house, with its
known tradition of pride and courage,

225
00:24:35,380 --> 00:24:39,133
has very few
men with so much integrity.

226
00:24:40,468 --> 00:24:43,263
For that reason, everyone
the house employees

227
00:24:44,430 --> 00:24:47,183
have gathered here at this moment

228
00:24:47,392 --> 00:24:50,645
to witness this
such a special ritual.

229
00:24:53,231 --> 00:24:57,277
Follow your path with peace in your heart.

230
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,407
A favor, sir!

231
00:25:02,699 --> 00:25:04,284
What is it about?

232
00:25:04,450 --> 00:25:08,454
A day or two of grace! Only
that! I implore you, sir!

233
00:25:09,998 --> 00:25:13,334
I don't intend to escape!
I'll be back! I beg you!

234
00:25:13,501 --> 00:25:16,379
Please! I implore you!

235
00:25:17,422 --> 00:25:20,008
I find this a very strange request.

236
00:25:20,758 --> 00:25:24,429
Certainly, I have
informed that in Edo

237
00:25:24,595 --> 00:25:28,224
ancient warriors abound
that disgrace our class,

238
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:33,229
threatening to practice
harakiri at the doors of the houses,

239
00:25:34,188 --> 00:25:37,650
unless offered
a miserable alms.

240
00:25:39,277 --> 00:25:40,987
Don't tell me that you...

241
00:25:42,071 --> 00:25:44,866
No, I would never do that.

242
00:25:45,033 --> 00:25:48,286
Of course not,
I'm sure of it.

243
00:25:49,495 --> 00:25:53,958
A man of your character would be
incapable of such a shameful act.

244
00:25:55,168 --> 00:25:57,420
Motome Chijiwa,

245
00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:02,592
Go ahead, you can proceed.

246
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,070
This unworthy man will be your godfather.

247
00:26:24,238 --> 00:26:27,116
Representative of the
Shindo-Munen School.

248
00:26:32,205 --> 00:26:35,958
Although the words are
unnecessary, I would like to explain.

249
00:26:37,126 --> 00:26:41,422
The harakiri rite has
changed over the years.

250
00:26:42,131 --> 00:26:45,426
Lately, this ritual
sacred has been distorted

251
00:26:45,718 --> 00:26:48,763
and converted into a mere formalism.

252
00:26:48,930 --> 00:26:53,434
As soon as the victim approaches the
sword to her body, she is decapitated.

253
00:26:53,810 --> 00:26:56,687
There is no real unraveling.

254
00:26:56,854 --> 00:27:01,692
Sometimes even the
sword from the tray for a fan.

255
00:27:01,943 --> 00:27:04,153
It's a shame for everyone.

256
00:27:05,446 --> 00:27:07,198
Therefore,

257
00:27:07,365 --> 00:27:10,159
today it will not be tolerated
no bad imitation

258
00:27:10,326 --> 00:27:13,287
of this sacred rite for a samurai.

259
00:27:13,454 --> 00:27:16,416
Everything will be done according to
the traditional ritual.

260
00:27:19,210 --> 00:27:20,753
It will be done like this.

261
00:27:22,255 --> 00:27:26,175
You will open your belly
with two crossed cuts.

262
00:27:28,344 --> 00:27:32,390
Only then will I be ready
I to do my duty.

263
00:27:36,561 --> 00:27:39,439
I will only intervene
when the unraveling

264
00:27:39,605 --> 00:27:42,984
be satisfactory to
us, is it clear?

265
00:27:44,026 --> 00:27:45,361
Let's proceed.

266
00:28:22,148 --> 00:28:25,276
That is your sword,
for it you will die.

267
00:28:29,197 --> 00:28:31,741
For a samurai, his sword is his soul.

268
00:28:33,326 --> 00:28:37,246
Therefore, what else could
be more appropriate for him?

269
00:29:08,110 --> 00:29:10,655
Well, what's stopping you?

270
00:29:13,282 --> 00:29:14,742
Please proceed!

271
00:30:44,457 --> 00:30:45,833
Forward.

272
00:30:47,293 --> 00:30:48,628
Forward!

273
00:30:48,836 --> 00:30:52,798
Not yet. Carry on!
You must open your belly!

274
00:31:15,529 --> 00:31:16,947
Why do you stop?

275
00:31:17,114 --> 00:31:19,992
Pull your sword! To the right!

276
00:32:07,998 --> 00:32:10,876
Yes, even as a final resort,

277
00:32:11,502 --> 00:32:13,796
biting one's own tongue,

278
00:32:14,004 --> 00:32:17,591
It is an act worthy of praise,
even if it is inappropriate.

279
00:32:18,467 --> 00:32:20,094
At the end of the day,

280
00:32:20,678 --> 00:32:25,224
threatened to practice harakiri
and he only carried bamboo swords.

281
00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:29,812
Once again,

282
00:32:31,230 --> 00:32:33,274
what are your intentions?

283
00:32:36,736 --> 00:32:41,490
I assume you are referring to this.

284
00:32:44,535 --> 00:32:47,079
I assure you that what happened to him

285
00:32:47,580 --> 00:32:51,333
to that unfortunate young man it was
just as I have told you.

286
00:32:53,919 --> 00:32:57,047
Honorable Tsugumo, listen to my advice.

287
00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:59,884
Reconsider it.

288
00:33:00,718 --> 00:33:01,969
No.

289
00:33:02,136 --> 00:33:05,139
Don't worry, my
decision is made.

290
00:33:06,432 --> 00:33:10,352
Unlike the young Chijiwa,
none of my swords are made of bamboo.

291
00:33:11,896 --> 00:33:15,524
I will perform the ritual of
harakiri without biting my tongue.

292
00:33:16,066 --> 00:33:17,693
You can be sure

293
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,697
that I will honor
samurai tradition.

294
00:33:26,786 --> 00:33:28,120
Alright.

295
00:33:28,871 --> 00:33:30,456
Honorable Tsugumo,

296
00:33:30,623 --> 00:33:35,002
since you insist on continuing
Go ahead, I will grant you your wish.

297
00:33:35,336 --> 00:33:36,629
- Servant!
- Yes.

298
00:33:42,593 --> 00:33:45,221
Hanshiro Tsugumo,

299
00:33:45,387 --> 00:33:48,808
ancient Geishu warrior, wishes
die by the rite of harakiri.

300
00:33:48,974 --> 00:33:50,100
Good.

301
00:33:52,019 --> 00:33:54,855
Since the clothes that
wears are inappropriate,

302
00:33:55,022 --> 00:33:57,233
clothing will be provided
new to the ritual.

303
00:33:57,399 --> 00:33:59,693
- Wait!
- What's happening?

304
00:34:01,487 --> 00:34:04,323
I have all that left over
type of considerations.

305
00:34:05,699 --> 00:34:08,994
I think the clothing
what I wear is very appropriate

306
00:34:10,412 --> 00:34:14,542
for a poor old warrior
about to go to the other world.

307
00:34:32,309 --> 00:34:37,273
For the considerate treatment that
has been dispensed to me on this day,

308
00:34:38,482 --> 00:34:40,860
I am deeply grateful to you.

309
00:34:41,443 --> 00:34:45,489
Hanshiro Tsugumo can't find
words to thank you.

310
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:48,617
Now, I will proceed.

311
00:34:53,455 --> 00:34:55,040
Although, honorable boss,

312
00:34:55,833 --> 00:34:58,836
For the ritual, I will need a godfather.

313
00:35:01,297 --> 00:35:05,175
has been chosen to be
your godfather Ichiro Shinmen.

314
00:35:06,886 --> 00:35:08,470
Shinmen.

315
00:35:13,934 --> 00:35:15,477
Do you have any preferences?

316
00:35:16,145 --> 00:35:17,271
Yes.

317
00:35:18,063 --> 00:35:21,984
I request the services of
Honorable Hikokuro Omodake.

318
00:35:22,359 --> 00:35:24,194
Why Hikokuro?

319
00:35:24,778 --> 00:35:29,158
Because his reputation as a great swordsman
from the Shindo-Munen School

320
00:35:29,325 --> 00:35:31,702
It is known among every warrior.

321
00:35:32,077 --> 00:35:36,373
It's true, Hikokuro has
earned a great reputation.

322
00:35:37,166 --> 00:35:40,544
Hikokuro. Hikokuro!

323
00:35:42,046 --> 00:35:45,591
I'm afraid, sir, that today
Omodake is absent.

324
00:35:46,467 --> 00:35:48,844
You have sent us a formal request

325
00:35:49,011 --> 00:35:50,971
to have four
or five days of rest.

326
00:35:51,138 --> 00:35:54,016
Four or five days?
So, there is nothing to do.

327
00:35:55,392 --> 00:35:57,019
Honorable Tsugumo,

328
00:35:57,728 --> 00:36:01,899
As you just heard, Hikokuro Omodaka
is not present at this time.

329
00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:05,235
Any other choice?

330
00:36:07,154 --> 00:36:09,073
It's a big disappointment.

331
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:14,954
I trusted that the honorable
Omodaka was my godfather today.

332
00:36:15,454 --> 00:36:18,540
Wouldn't it be possible to ask
as a personal favor?

333
00:36:21,043 --> 00:36:23,003
Yes, maybe.

334
00:36:23,295 --> 00:36:26,674
Yesterday it was not noticeable
too much fatigue.

335
00:36:27,383 --> 00:36:29,969
I don't think it's very serious, right?

336
00:36:31,887 --> 00:36:33,973
- Servant!
- Mister!

337
00:36:42,898 --> 00:36:44,984
Go to Omodaka's house

338
00:36:45,150 --> 00:36:49,405
and inform him that
I require your presence here.

339
00:36:50,155 --> 00:36:51,907
- Hurry up.
- Good!

340
00:36:59,081 --> 00:37:03,210
I am indebted to you for
your kind consideration.

341
00:37:04,837 --> 00:37:06,296
Tell me,

342
00:37:07,214 --> 00:37:11,969
Do you want to wait for him here or
Do you prefer to make yourself comfortable inside?

343
00:37:12,136 --> 00:37:15,639
Lord, if I return to
enter your house,

344
00:37:15,806 --> 00:37:17,599
My resolve could be broken.

345
00:37:19,184 --> 00:37:22,229
That could make
My trip started badly.

346
00:37:23,230 --> 00:37:24,940
I'll wait here.

347
00:37:26,316 --> 00:37:28,527
Your firm will, sir,

348
00:37:29,778 --> 00:37:32,197
It is truly worthy of admiration.

349
00:37:34,533 --> 00:37:36,410
Honorable sir.

350
00:37:37,536 --> 00:37:41,874
We are not going to gain anything with a
Expect that it will surely be tedious.

351
00:37:44,168 --> 00:37:48,630
Let me tell you the story
of my life to pass the time.

352
00:37:50,007 --> 00:37:55,012
Do you want to tell us the
story of your life?

353
00:37:55,888 --> 00:37:57,473
Yes sir.

354
00:37:57,806 --> 00:38:01,810
The life of an old warrior
may seem boring,

355
00:38:02,686 --> 00:38:04,646
but my destiny here today,

356
00:38:05,814 --> 00:38:08,650
It may be the destiny of others tomorrow.

357
00:38:10,611 --> 00:38:14,823
Those who are present
and listen to my story,

358
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:19,244
maybe even find
certain gems of wisdom in it.

359
00:38:21,205 --> 00:38:25,125
Your destiny today
It may be someone else's tomorrow.

360
00:38:31,006 --> 00:38:33,425
Yes. It seems interesting.

361
00:38:38,305 --> 00:38:40,849
Listen well to his last words,

362
00:38:41,391 --> 00:38:45,104
the words of a man
that goes to eternity.

363
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,691
You will be able to hear a
unusual will,

364
00:38:51,151 --> 00:38:54,530
and I'm sure there are
much to learn from him.

365
00:38:56,615 --> 00:38:57,783
Honorable.

366
00:39:03,747 --> 00:39:06,792
First I would like to ask if the
story you have told before,

367
00:39:08,669 --> 00:39:12,005
It was the whole truth without leaving you
no important details.

368
00:39:17,052 --> 00:39:18,095
That's how it is.

369
00:39:20,097 --> 00:39:23,559
Because that warrior
Geishu, Motome Chijiwa,

370
00:39:24,393 --> 00:39:27,813
was a young man whom I had the
opportunity to get to know a little.

371
00:39:47,207 --> 00:39:49,585
Motome Chijiwa,

372
00:39:51,753 --> 00:39:55,841
yes, it was a young man that I had
the opportunity to know.

373
00:40:33,962 --> 00:40:37,591
Motome was attractive
15 year old young man.

374
00:40:38,550 --> 00:40:42,304
And my daughter Miho, a girl of 11.

375
00:40:43,764 --> 00:40:45,974
It was 11 years ago.

376
00:40:47,726 --> 00:40:50,771
Even now when I close my eyes,

377
00:40:50,938 --> 00:40:54,233
everything comes back to my mind like
if time did not exist

378
00:40:54,399 --> 00:40:57,027
and it would have happened just yesterday.

379
00:41:16,922 --> 00:41:19,258
- Come on, another round.
- Better not.

380
00:41:19,841 --> 00:41:22,970
Why bother
rebuild the arch?

381
00:41:23,136 --> 00:41:27,975
- It won't do any good.
- True, for peace. Wonderful peace.

382
00:41:31,812 --> 00:41:35,190
By the way, it will be the seventh anniversary

383
00:41:35,732 --> 00:41:37,484
of my wife's death.

384
00:41:39,111 --> 00:41:41,989
On the 22nd, right? Seven years now!

385
00:41:43,115 --> 00:41:47,286
Yes, and I plan to celebrate a small
ceremony at my residence.

386
00:41:47,911 --> 00:41:50,622
- But without offerings.
- I understand.

387
00:41:51,623 --> 00:41:55,836
Yes, it seems like a lie. How the years go by.

388
00:41:58,213 --> 00:42:03,218
And it's even more incredible
that, a veteran like you,

389
00:42:04,052 --> 00:42:07,764
hardened by war, be
raising that girl alone.

390
00:42:07,931 --> 00:42:12,394
Jinnai, you surprised me too.

391
00:42:12,811 --> 00:42:17,190
When your wife Yuki died, I thought
on how you would manage on your own.

392
00:42:17,607 --> 00:42:19,192
However, now,

393
00:42:19,318 --> 00:42:23,155
look how you are, made an example
perfect kite and hawk.

394
00:42:23,780 --> 00:42:24,906
Kite and falcon?

395
00:42:25,198 --> 00:42:27,200
Yes, of the widowed kite

396
00:42:27,367 --> 00:42:30,620
and dedicates all his
efforts to his young offspring

397
00:42:30,787 --> 00:42:31,955
that, with the passage of time,

398
00:42:32,247 --> 00:42:36,793
has grown and become
a falcon to everyone's surprise.

399
00:42:37,044 --> 00:42:39,713
- On a handsome young falcon.
- On a falcon?

400
00:42:41,298 --> 00:42:44,426
Foolishness. My son is only growing in body.

401
00:42:44,843 --> 00:42:49,348
He is very far from being a nobleman
falcon of those who glide through the air.

402
00:42:50,724 --> 00:42:53,268
However, I have always thought

403
00:42:53,435 --> 00:42:55,812
that would be useless
on the battlefield

404
00:42:56,688 --> 00:42:58,815
and I recognize that it has not
gone completely wrong.

405
00:43:06,865 --> 00:43:10,911
If life had continued
So, everything would have been fine.

406
00:43:13,872 --> 00:43:15,707
But that didn't happen.

407
00:43:18,877 --> 00:43:21,922
people's lives
They are like houses built

408
00:43:22,339 --> 00:43:25,133
on sand foundations,

409
00:43:26,510 --> 00:43:29,054
a strong wind means the end.

410
00:43:32,015 --> 00:43:33,767
Do you know what caused the fall

411
00:43:33,934 --> 00:43:36,478
of my lord of Geishu's vast domain?

412
00:43:36,812 --> 00:43:38,730
Do you need me to go into details?

413
00:43:40,107 --> 00:43:44,152
I am convinced that all
You must be very well informed.

414
00:43:47,197 --> 00:43:50,367
Modifications were made
at Hiroshima castle

415
00:43:50,534 --> 00:43:54,621
that they had to be a threat
for the Tokugawa Shogun.

416
00:43:55,956 --> 00:43:57,749
But in June 1619,

417
00:43:58,750 --> 00:44:02,796
our lord's dominion
was abruptly abolished

418
00:44:02,963 --> 00:44:06,591
and 12,000 innocent employees
who were at your service

419
00:44:08,343 --> 00:44:11,138
They were deprived of their livelihood.

420
00:44:43,044 --> 00:44:44,379
Jinnai!

421
00:44:56,516 --> 00:44:58,518
To the honorable Hanshiro Tsugumo.

422
00:44:58,768 --> 00:45:01,146
My last requests
for my faithful friend.

423
00:45:02,397 --> 00:45:06,735
The abolition of the commissioner for
castle modifications

424
00:45:07,694 --> 00:45:09,988
expected at any time.

425
00:45:12,073 --> 00:45:15,660
I simply precede him
on this final journey.

426
00:45:16,620 --> 00:45:19,873
I hope it's enough
with me doing it alone.

427
00:45:20,832 --> 00:45:23,001
I beg you not to imitate me.

428
00:45:25,378 --> 00:45:27,923
And I ask you to do
something for my son, Motome,

429
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,552
that is not yet more
than a 15 year old boy.

430
00:45:33,845 --> 00:45:36,848
I beg you to guide him in his future life.

431
00:45:50,237 --> 00:45:51,446
How impatient.

432
00:45:52,614 --> 00:45:54,991
Couldn't you have waited for me?

433
00:45:55,825 --> 00:45:58,537
Hanshiro, I forbid you to imitate him.

434
00:45:59,663 --> 00:46:01,623
And that you imitate me, understand?

435
00:46:03,416 --> 00:46:05,710
All this doesn't make any sense.

436
00:46:08,338 --> 00:46:10,465
- Jinnai is enough.
- But, sir...

437
00:46:10,632 --> 00:46:11,883
Silence, Hanshiro!

438
00:46:13,718 --> 00:46:15,345
Jinnai

439
00:46:15,512 --> 00:46:19,015
has died first to
prevent any attempt of yours.

440
00:46:19,266 --> 00:46:21,685
He will accompany me in your name.

441
00:46:22,936 --> 00:46:24,104
Now, Hanshiro,

442
00:46:25,397 --> 00:46:27,107
Your duty is to move forward,

443
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,235
you must take Jinnai's place.

444
00:46:35,365 --> 00:46:38,076
Who else could
take care of your child Motome?

445
00:46:38,618 --> 00:46:40,078
Only you.

446
00:46:45,417 --> 00:46:46,543
Masakatsu

447
00:46:47,502 --> 00:46:49,004
He will go to meet Jinnai.

448
00:46:50,380 --> 00:46:51,381
Hanshiro,

449
00:46:52,799 --> 00:46:55,135
do you have any message
for your friend Jinnai?

450
00:46:58,722 --> 00:47:00,974
Don't you have any message for Jinnai?

451
00:47:02,017 --> 00:47:03,059
Tell him...

452
00:47:04,185 --> 00:47:05,228
Tell Jinnai...

453
00:47:10,108 --> 00:47:12,319
- May your son's future...
- Yes?

454
00:47:13,069 --> 00:47:14,946
The future of his son Motome Chijiwa,

455
00:47:16,531 --> 00:47:18,825
will be watched and protected by Hanshiro

456
00:47:19,701 --> 00:47:21,828
with his own life if necessary.

457
00:47:23,705 --> 00:47:24,706
Honorable Tsugumo.

458
00:47:26,124 --> 00:47:27,626
It's enough.

459
00:47:40,722 --> 00:47:42,349
- Are you coming?
- No.

460
00:47:43,266 --> 00:47:45,810
Sir, it seems you are
seriously ill.

461
00:47:46,519 --> 00:47:48,647
And what illness does Omodaka suffer from?

462
00:47:48,938 --> 00:47:51,441
His family says that
has a very high fever

463
00:47:51,608 --> 00:47:54,444
and many sharp pains
that require rest.

464
00:47:55,695 --> 00:47:56,738
Have you seen him?

465
00:47:56,946 --> 00:47:59,658
I have begged you to
let me come to your bed,

466
00:48:00,533 --> 00:48:03,411
but he suffers such strong pain,

467
00:48:03,578 --> 00:48:06,206
that the family has given me
asked not to do it.

468
00:48:07,332 --> 00:48:10,418
So I have given them
your message and I'm gone.

469
00:48:11,044 --> 00:48:13,088
So we can't count on him.

470
00:48:14,172 --> 00:48:18,677
I guess the humidity of these
days must have made him sick.

471
00:48:22,555 --> 00:48:23,848
Honorable Tsugumo,

472
00:48:25,308 --> 00:48:26,476
you have already heard it.

473
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,231
Therefore, I must ask you
name another as your godfather.

474
00:48:35,110 --> 00:48:38,738
It's a real shame isn't it
to be able to have the honorable Omodaka.

475
00:48:40,657 --> 00:48:41,700
regret

476
00:48:44,828 --> 00:48:48,206
who is too unwell
to assist me in the ritual.

477
00:48:48,665 --> 00:48:49,624
Yes.

478
00:48:50,417 --> 00:48:51,793
I request Hayato Yazaki.

479
00:48:56,297 --> 00:48:57,340
Inaba...

480
00:48:58,258 --> 00:49:00,927
- Isn't it true that Yazaki isn't there either?
- Yes sir.

481
00:49:01,511 --> 00:49:05,223
He also requested permission
to recover from his fatigue.

482
00:49:07,225 --> 00:49:08,351
Honorable Tsugumo,

483
00:49:10,228 --> 00:49:13,940
I'm sorry to tell you that Yazaki
It can't help you either.

484
00:49:16,776 --> 00:49:19,362
The honorable Yazaki
Are you also unwell?

485
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:21,781
It's a real shame.

486
00:49:26,870 --> 00:49:28,455
Then I have no choice.

487
00:49:29,956 --> 00:49:33,126
I request assistance
by Umenosuke Kawabe.

488
00:49:38,631 --> 00:49:40,008
Lord,

489
00:49:41,134 --> 00:49:44,429
Is it possible that the honorable
Is Kawabe sick too?

490
00:49:45,388 --> 00:49:47,474
Is such a strange coincidence possible?

491
00:50:02,071 --> 00:50:03,364
Wow,

492
00:50:04,824 --> 00:50:06,910
It seems that he is also unwell.

493
00:50:09,245 --> 00:50:12,123
The three that I have named
are absent on this day

494
00:50:12,290 --> 00:50:14,667
that I have chosen for
pass into eternity.

495
00:50:16,211 --> 00:50:18,129
Yes, it is a strange coincidence.

496
00:50:22,008 --> 00:50:23,426
Certainly strange.

497
00:50:32,018 --> 00:50:33,686
- There's a cat in the bag.
- TRUE.

498
00:50:35,104 --> 00:50:37,732
Hikokuro was the one who insisted the most.

499
00:50:38,691 --> 00:50:42,695
In fact, he forced Motome
Chijiwa to commit harakiri.

500
00:50:44,030 --> 00:50:45,490
And it was Hayato Yazaki

501
00:50:46,950 --> 00:50:49,994
who discovered that
The young man's sword was made of bamboo.

502
00:50:51,287 --> 00:50:53,581
No, I'm wrong, that was Unemosuke.

503
00:50:53,748 --> 00:50:56,751
Sir, I was opposed to
that would be taken so far.

504
00:50:56,918 --> 00:50:59,921
- Now that doesn't matter.
- Very sure.

505
00:51:03,049 --> 00:51:05,343
But what are you going to do with it, sir?

506
00:51:05,593 --> 00:51:08,012
He is not one of those who die meekly.

507
00:51:09,138 --> 00:51:12,100
On the other hand, I am convinced
that he is up to something.

508
00:51:14,811 --> 00:51:15,895
I know.

509
00:51:17,605 --> 00:51:19,858
But whatever your intentions,

510
00:51:21,693 --> 00:51:24,696
I will force his hand and
I will force you to commit harakiri.

511
00:51:26,406 --> 00:51:28,283
And in the event that he refuses,

512
00:51:29,617 --> 00:51:32,412
I will make my men
kill without any mercy.

513
00:51:38,293 --> 00:51:41,421
We all know that what
It happens within these walls,

514
00:51:43,506 --> 00:51:46,634
it stays here like a secret
that no one will ever reveal.

515
00:51:50,805 --> 00:51:53,600
The men will attack
as long as I give them the signal.

516
00:51:57,228 --> 00:52:00,523
However, Hikokuro and the
Two others have me worried.

517
00:52:03,526 --> 00:52:05,361
You better send someone.

518
00:52:07,155 --> 00:52:08,281
Yes, I will do that.

519
00:52:08,907 --> 00:52:12,327
But, given the circumstances,
I would like it to be you.

520
00:52:26,007 --> 00:52:27,050
Honorable Tsugumo.

521
00:52:31,763 --> 00:52:35,600
Even though the summer days
They are long, time flies.

522
00:52:40,730 --> 00:52:43,566
That's why I ask you to resign yourself.

523
00:52:43,733 --> 00:52:48,529
But, honorable sir, you cannot
There is a ritual without a godfather.

524
00:52:48,696 --> 00:52:50,323
That is very true,

525
00:52:50,782 --> 00:52:53,743
but I just argued
the matter with my assistant.

526
00:52:54,661 --> 00:52:58,706
None of the men you have
requested they can come to assist you,

527
00:52:59,415 --> 00:53:01,876
so I will choose one for you.

528
00:53:03,211 --> 00:53:05,046
-Ichiro Shinmen!
- Mister!

529
00:53:06,047 --> 00:53:09,467
You will be the godfather of the old
Geishu warrior, Tsugumo.

530
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,137
- Do your duty.
- Yeah!

531
00:53:14,430 --> 00:53:15,556
Mister!

532
00:53:17,850 --> 00:53:19,185
With your permission,

533
00:53:19,686 --> 00:53:23,523
I have appointed three honorable men
to act as my godparents.

534
00:53:24,482 --> 00:53:27,777
I'm afraid I must insist
in which it is one of them.

535
00:53:29,821 --> 00:53:31,864
That? Have you not heard what I said?

536
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,080
I have already explained to you that today
All three are unwell.

537
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,961
What's happening, you haven't left
quite clear, or are you deaf?

538
00:53:48,715 --> 00:53:51,926
In that case, neither do I.
I have another remedy.

539
00:53:53,219 --> 00:53:56,264
I'm afraid that's reason enough.
to postpone the ritual.

540
00:53:57,724 --> 00:53:58,975
Be careful with your tongue!

541
00:54:01,185 --> 00:54:03,563
Your insolence has
gone too far.

542
00:54:05,273 --> 00:54:09,152
First you come to ask me for a
place to perform harakiri

543
00:54:10,278 --> 00:54:13,197
and now you have those
qualms about the godfather.

544
00:54:13,781 --> 00:54:16,367
You have never wanted to die.

545
00:54:17,118 --> 00:54:18,870
Money is the only thing that moves you.

546
00:54:19,037 --> 00:54:20,121
You are wrong.

547
00:54:21,414 --> 00:54:23,624
If I were a common extortionist,

548
00:54:24,250 --> 00:54:27,462
do you think he would be sitting
here, before you, peacefully?

549
00:54:27,628 --> 00:54:30,882
- I can't know that for sure!
- I have come to die!

550
00:54:32,508 --> 00:54:35,303
But you know that harakiri alone

551
00:54:35,428 --> 00:54:37,472
it does not ensure the trip to Hades.

552
00:54:38,639 --> 00:54:42,101
A sponsor is needed
let him cut off the head.

553
00:54:42,268 --> 00:54:45,021
A swordsman, an expert
let him strike an accurate blow.

554
00:54:46,814 --> 00:54:49,817
As if that were not enough, I'm not going
to die like a criminal.

555
00:54:50,860 --> 00:54:53,196
And I claim my right to choose a godfather.

556
00:55:18,012 --> 00:55:19,722
I'm already tired of demands.

557
00:55:23,142 --> 00:55:25,103
Let's not waste time talking.

558
00:55:45,373 --> 00:55:48,000
You are a shame.
A miserable imposter.

559
00:55:49,252 --> 00:55:51,379
Harakiri never
It has been your mobile!

560
00:56:20,908 --> 00:56:21,909
Kill him!

561
00:56:28,666 --> 00:56:29,625
Wait!

562
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,086
Wait!

563
00:56:32,879 --> 00:56:34,922
Stay still! Stay still!

564
00:57:01,282 --> 00:57:03,993
I still want to talk
with everyone present.

565
00:57:05,203 --> 00:57:08,497
Please. Please wait.

566
00:57:09,749 --> 00:57:13,127
What do you want now? Ya
It's late for words.

567
00:57:13,294 --> 00:57:14,337
No, not yet.

568
00:57:15,588 --> 00:57:17,089
I still have something to say.

569
00:57:18,090 --> 00:57:20,801
I haven't finished counting
the story of my life.

570
00:57:21,594 --> 00:57:23,054
No way.

571
00:57:24,555 --> 00:57:26,265
I don't have ears for another long story!

572
00:57:26,432 --> 00:57:27,433
Please!

573
00:57:30,269 --> 00:57:32,021
Think about it, honorable sir.

574
00:57:32,980 --> 00:57:36,609
If you force me, I will fight with
the ferocity of a possessed.

575
00:57:38,611 --> 00:57:43,032
Surely some of your
Innocent men will be hurt.

576
00:57:43,950 --> 00:57:45,409
Some will even die!

577
00:57:48,537 --> 00:57:49,830
Therefore, sir,

578
00:57:50,748 --> 00:57:53,084
It would be more prudent on your part

579
00:57:56,837 --> 00:58:01,175
Let everyone listen to my story,
then I will open my insides myself.

580
00:58:01,634 --> 00:58:04,303
And if the harakiri
It seems too much honor,

581
00:58:04,470 --> 00:58:07,306
then send everyone
your men against me.

582
00:58:09,934 --> 00:58:11,435
But at this moment,

583
00:58:12,561 --> 00:58:16,691
I beg you to pay attention and
Listen to my story until the end.

584
00:58:25,241 --> 00:58:26,659
And when you finish,

585
00:58:27,868 --> 00:58:28,995
Will you keep your word?

586
00:58:30,705 --> 00:58:32,290
Yes, I swear!

587
00:58:34,083 --> 00:58:35,751
For your samurai honor?

588
00:58:52,393 --> 00:58:55,271
Good, but be brief.

589
00:58:56,564 --> 00:59:00,276
Don't abuse my patience, no
I'm for long and absurd stories.

590
00:59:02,903 --> 00:59:03,988
Back, back.

591
00:59:21,297 --> 00:59:23,299
Let's see, where was he going?

592
00:59:28,262 --> 00:59:29,472
Oh yes.

593
00:59:30,848 --> 00:59:32,558
My lord is relegated.

594
00:59:33,893 --> 00:59:36,437
And then the death of Jinnai Chijiwa.

595
00:59:37,688 --> 00:59:39,273
Yes, that's it.

596
00:59:40,066 --> 00:59:44,362
I had arrived until he
entrusts his beloved son, Motome.

597
00:59:49,158 --> 00:59:51,869
After the fall of my lord,

598
00:59:53,329 --> 00:59:56,207
I left that land
and I came here, to Edo.

599
00:59:58,501 --> 01:00:03,464
With the end of the war they appeared
ancient warriors everywhere.

600
01:00:05,007 --> 01:00:06,342
In better times,

601
01:00:06,967 --> 01:00:11,597
a clan would have employed an ancient
warrior, but in times of peace,

602
01:00:13,432 --> 01:00:15,893
there is no demand for samurai,

603
01:00:16,060 --> 01:00:19,563
this eat or fast
as destiny dictates.

604
01:00:21,023 --> 01:00:24,318
Yes, it is very sad.

605
01:00:26,237 --> 01:00:28,656
I am ashamed to remember what they have been like

606
01:00:28,823 --> 01:00:31,826
the last eight or
nine years of my life.

607
01:00:36,414 --> 01:00:40,084
However, and even though
We lived almost in misery,

608
01:00:41,544 --> 01:00:45,172
my daughter, Miho, followed
growing up, she became a woman

609
01:00:45,965 --> 01:00:49,093
and soon he turned 18.

610
01:01:17,163 --> 01:01:18,247
Honorable sir.

611
01:01:19,707 --> 01:01:22,168
If I didn't return to
time for noon,

612
01:01:22,334 --> 01:01:24,295
I have left your food prepared.

613
01:01:25,045 --> 01:01:27,298
You know that even the most delicious delicacy

614
01:01:27,465 --> 01:01:29,925
loses flavor when
it is eaten without company.

615
01:01:30,634 --> 01:01:33,012
- So I'll wait for you.
- Good.

616
01:01:33,721 --> 01:01:37,892
If I have time, when they pay me,
I'll go buy some fish.

617
01:01:40,269 --> 01:01:41,520
Can?

618
01:01:42,354 --> 01:01:45,274
- Go ahead, please.
- Excuse me. Are you busy?

619
01:01:45,441 --> 01:01:48,360
- Were you going out?
- Yes, I was just going to see the wholesaler.

620
01:01:48,527 --> 01:01:50,738
- Ah, the honorable Mikawaya?
- Yes.

621
01:01:50,946 --> 01:01:52,072
May it go well.

622
01:02:00,956 --> 01:02:02,208
You are already an expert.

623
01:02:03,292 --> 01:02:06,128
It is seen that the experience
It's better than training.

624
01:02:06,295 --> 01:02:07,963
- Forgive me.
- As?

625
01:02:08,672 --> 01:02:10,799
Forgive me for always asking you for advances,

626
01:02:10,966 --> 01:02:14,678
As you well know, my
Profits are very meager.

627
01:02:14,845 --> 01:02:17,431
Your frank innocence disarms me.

628
01:02:19,558 --> 01:02:23,103
I had come to tell you
some harsh words,

629
01:02:23,437 --> 01:02:26,899
but, by taking the initiative like this,
you have tied my hands.

630
01:02:28,651 --> 01:02:30,069
I bow before you.

631
01:02:31,695 --> 01:02:35,407
By the way, regarding the proposition
what I did to you the other day,

632
01:02:35,824 --> 01:02:37,326
Have you already thought about it?

633
01:02:41,664 --> 01:02:44,875
Tell me, have you already taken
a decision on this?

634
01:02:46,377 --> 01:02:49,838
Yes, my decision is made.

635
01:02:50,172 --> 01:02:52,174
Ah, it's gratifying.

636
01:02:53,175 --> 01:02:56,512
Yes, you take a weight off me
above, really.

637
01:02:57,263 --> 01:02:58,264
You will see,

638
01:02:59,139 --> 01:03:02,184
regarding your
proposition about Miho,

639
01:03:04,144 --> 01:03:06,855
My decision is categorically contrary.

640
01:03:13,529 --> 01:03:14,989
I will explain:

641
01:03:15,447 --> 01:03:19,952
I think the adoption of Miho
It would be merely a pretext.

642
01:03:20,995 --> 01:03:26,000
I know that the Sakakibara family
I would make her a vulgar concubine.

643
01:03:28,502 --> 01:03:29,753
Honorable Tsugumo,

644
01:03:30,170 --> 01:03:32,881
As you well know, they are
a very powerful clan.

645
01:03:33,465 --> 01:03:37,928
Have some relationship with them,
It would assure you a promising future.

646
01:03:38,095 --> 01:03:41,432
- Your problems would be over.
- Yes, I know very well.

647
01:03:42,891 --> 01:03:44,602
However, honorable Seibei,

648
01:03:45,269 --> 01:03:47,229
It wouldn't be like me.

649
01:03:47,605 --> 01:03:50,774
I will never sacrifice my
daughter for no fortune.

650
01:03:51,025 --> 01:03:53,235
I understand your attitude of pride,

651
01:03:53,611 --> 01:03:57,406
But, as a father, shouldn't you
think about your daughter?

652
01:03:58,073 --> 01:03:59,199
I do it.

653
01:04:00,034 --> 01:04:03,245
Such a young girl and
as beautiful as her,

654
01:04:03,704 --> 01:04:06,081
and he doesn't have a single
kimono for the holidays.

655
01:04:06,665 --> 01:04:11,587
The poor thing spends the days working
like a slave with her father.

656
01:04:12,921 --> 01:04:14,048
Honorable Tsugumo,

657
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,217
don't let yourselves be confused
for these times.

658
01:04:17,926 --> 01:04:20,471
It is useless to resist the current.

659
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,725
For the sake of Miho and
for your own good,

660
01:04:24,892 --> 01:04:26,727
The solution is too obvious.

661
01:04:27,686 --> 01:04:29,980
Listen, I have to be honest with you.

662
01:04:30,147 --> 01:04:34,109
An opportunity like this
It is only presented to her because she

663
01:04:34,276 --> 01:04:37,237
is endowed with so much
beauty, don't waste it.

664
01:04:40,157 --> 01:04:43,911
The great Confucius says:
The great Confucius says:

665
01:04:44,912 --> 01:04:49,375
Ignore our own mission
It makes us superior people.

666
01:04:50,042 --> 01:04:54,963
Ignore our own mission
It makes us superior people.

667
01:04:56,090 --> 01:04:59,468
Ignore the label
ends up assuming failure.

668
01:05:00,260 --> 01:05:04,723
Ignore the label
ends up assuming failure.

669
01:05:05,432 --> 01:05:09,812
Ignoring the words means
ignore men.

670
01:05:10,521 --> 01:05:15,359
Ignoring the words means
ignore men.

671
01:05:16,819 --> 01:05:20,280
-Class is over.
-Thank you, teacher.

672
01:05:21,782 --> 01:05:24,243
Hey, are you coming to play with me?

673
01:05:38,382 --> 01:05:39,383
Welcome, sir.

674
01:05:49,852 --> 01:05:50,936
Good afternoon.

675
01:05:59,611 --> 01:06:00,821
Take.

676
01:06:02,948 --> 01:06:05,033
- Very kind.
- You see,

677
01:06:05,909 --> 01:06:10,289
I have taken the liberty
to prepare some tea.

678
01:06:14,585 --> 01:06:16,336
However, Motome,

679
01:06:17,921 --> 01:06:20,883
I have come because I want
talk very seriously with you.

680
01:06:22,384 --> 01:06:23,469
Honorable sir,

681
01:06:24,261 --> 01:06:26,221
why so much formality?

682
01:06:29,141 --> 01:06:31,810
- Time passes very quickly.
- Yes.

683
01:06:32,936 --> 01:06:35,397
My daughter has already turned 18 years old.

684
01:06:36,064 --> 01:06:37,274
And...

685
01:06:37,858 --> 01:06:40,194
Every day she looks more like her mother.

686
01:06:41,153 --> 01:06:44,031
When I look at it, it seems incredible...

687
01:06:44,198 --> 01:06:46,825
-She's very pretty.
- ...that she could be my daughter.

688
01:06:47,659 --> 01:06:51,789
Yes, if she looked like me, that beauty
It would have been totally impossible.

689
01:06:52,331 --> 01:06:55,417
Honorable, why do you speak like this?

690
01:06:57,586 --> 01:06:58,921
You will see...

691
01:06:59,421 --> 01:07:00,672
Motome...

692
01:07:04,843 --> 01:07:05,803
Miho...

693
01:07:06,804 --> 01:07:08,514
I want you to take her as your wife.

694
01:07:16,855 --> 01:07:19,483
I already know what all this is
It takes you by surprise,

695
01:07:20,901 --> 01:07:22,861
But I want to know if you would be willing.

696
01:07:23,779 --> 01:07:24,988
Hey, Motome?

697
01:07:25,781 --> 01:07:30,744
I don't need to tell you, you know.
very well the poverty in which I live.

698
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,874
I am just the humble teacher who
teaches the neighborhood children.

699
01:07:36,750 --> 01:07:39,503
I barely earn to be able to
live miserably.

700
01:07:42,631 --> 01:07:46,009
So how could he take a wife?

701
01:07:46,176 --> 01:07:48,679
Motome, don't you like Miho?

702
01:07:51,890 --> 01:07:54,393
I want you to tell me! Do you like it or not?

703
01:08:01,900 --> 01:08:03,569
If I'm asking you this

704
01:08:03,735 --> 01:08:06,905
It's not simply because I
I'm looking for my daughter

705
01:08:07,072 --> 01:08:10,200
a husband to support her and
to ensure your livelihood.

706
01:08:11,493 --> 01:08:13,787
No, I'm just a failed warrior,

707
01:08:14,538 --> 01:08:17,291
but i feel true
love for you and Miho.

708
01:08:20,043 --> 01:08:22,337
Convincing Motome was much more difficult

709
01:08:23,297 --> 01:08:25,465
than I had imagined.

710
01:08:27,092 --> 01:08:28,844
Until then,

711
01:08:29,011 --> 01:08:32,764
I hadn't realized
stubborn that he could be.

712
01:08:34,516 --> 01:08:36,977
However, Motome loved Miho,

713
01:08:37,853 --> 01:08:41,857
and Miho didn't raise any objections
to the husband who had chosen her.

714
01:08:43,525 --> 01:08:45,694
The crane

715
01:08:45,861 --> 01:08:49,489
that lives a thousand years

716
01:08:50,115 --> 01:08:53,827
symbolizes the countless

717
01:08:53,994 --> 01:08:56,705
days of happiness.

718
01:08:57,164 --> 01:09:00,375
The turtle

719
01:09:00,542 --> 01:09:04,379
live ten thousand years

720
01:09:04,796 --> 01:09:08,926
and is the symbol of pleasures

721
01:09:09,051 --> 01:09:12,387
that triple their age.

722
01:09:13,013 --> 01:09:17,643
May the golden sands

723
01:09:18,185 --> 01:09:22,022
reflect the sun

724
01:09:22,189 --> 01:09:25,317
of the generous mornings

725
01:09:25,484 --> 01:09:28,028
that will come

726
01:09:29,112 --> 01:09:30,864
Two years passed

727
01:09:32,074 --> 01:09:33,825
and the waters returned to their course.

728
01:09:35,702 --> 01:09:38,956
They had a son who
They named him Kingo.

729
01:09:40,791 --> 01:09:42,501
And of course

730
01:09:43,043 --> 01:09:45,462
It was I who acted as the child's grandfather.

731
01:10:01,561 --> 01:10:02,813
Welcome, sir.

732
01:10:08,986 --> 01:10:11,196
Wow, here alone again?

733
01:10:23,291 --> 01:10:26,253
Lord, you are very generous
with all of us.

734
01:10:27,796 --> 01:10:29,131
Don't talk nonsense.

735
01:10:29,715 --> 01:10:32,676
Quite a few difficulties
you have, don't worry about me.

736
01:10:32,843 --> 01:10:36,054
Furthermore, now that only
I take care of myself,

737
01:10:36,263 --> 01:10:39,099
I have accumulated so much wealth
which is a burden to me.

738
01:10:39,266 --> 01:10:41,685
Imagine, almost not
I can't even carry it.

739
01:10:46,356 --> 01:10:48,066
Look, look...

740
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,402
But I did wake him up.

741
01:10:52,738 --> 01:10:54,740
What's that? Come on, boy.

742
01:10:54,906 --> 01:10:58,535
The pouts are not your own
of a warrior's son.

743
01:10:58,702 --> 01:11:00,370
Come on, brighten up that face.

744
01:11:10,630 --> 01:11:12,841
Have I heard that they have abolished
the Satsudaira clan?

745
01:11:13,008 --> 01:11:17,262
It's true, like those of others
warlords of the province.

746
01:11:17,429 --> 01:11:21,391
However, that clan was a
link with Tokugawa power.

747
01:11:22,559 --> 01:11:26,563
Yes, the Shogun's policy
towards the warlords

748
01:11:26,730 --> 01:11:28,607
It's really being very hard.

749
01:11:29,149 --> 01:11:32,319
One thing is certain, there will be
more unemployed warriors.

750
01:11:32,486 --> 01:11:33,653
Yes.

751
01:11:39,159 --> 01:11:40,160
By the way...

752
01:11:41,036 --> 01:11:44,873
Do you know it? Have you found out about
of that warrior from an ancient clan

753
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:49,044
who showed up in a mansion and
threatened to kill himself for harakiri?

754
01:11:49,294 --> 01:11:53,090
Yes, and I also know that
they took pity on him

755
01:11:53,548 --> 01:11:55,050
and, to avoid it, they used it.

756
01:11:55,217 --> 01:11:58,345
Yes, but the consequences will be bad.

757
01:11:58,595 --> 01:11:59,846
That's what I think too.

758
01:12:00,764 --> 01:12:03,600
Furthermore, I have also heard
that the example has spread.

759
01:12:03,767 --> 01:12:08,146
Although that one did well, others
they are showing up in the houses

760
01:12:08,939 --> 01:12:10,774
threatening to practice harakiri.

761
01:12:11,650 --> 01:12:14,402
In most of them,
to get rid of them,

762
01:12:15,195 --> 01:12:17,322
They offer them some coins as alms.

763
01:12:19,366 --> 01:12:22,119
It's really embarrassing
something like that happens.

764
01:12:22,285 --> 01:12:23,578
Yes, it's outrageous.

765
01:12:24,621 --> 01:12:27,040
Even in a situation
of extreme poverty,

766
01:12:28,083 --> 01:12:29,793
How can you fall so low?

767
01:12:31,211 --> 01:12:35,715
They are acts of desperation
typical of these difficult times.

768
01:12:38,093 --> 01:12:40,595
We must try to maintain dignity

769
01:12:41,596 --> 01:12:44,432
as long as we don't find
a new master to serve.

770
01:12:45,058 --> 01:12:48,520
Yes, you speak very wisely, Motome.

771
01:12:49,855 --> 01:12:51,523
Although not having a job,

772
01:12:52,440 --> 01:12:55,902
we should not either
fear for no superior,

773
01:12:56,528 --> 01:12:58,780
nor should we feel obligated to anything.

774
01:13:03,201 --> 01:13:05,537
What's happening? What's up, huh?

775
01:13:05,704 --> 01:13:08,957
It's time, he wants his
milk. I have to feed him.

776
01:13:09,124 --> 01:13:11,960
Come on, every time you cry
a little, you feed it.

777
01:13:12,127 --> 01:13:15,714
This is how you are getting used to it
bad. Right, Kingo? TRUE?

778
01:13:15,881 --> 01:13:17,007
Yes of course. Look!

779
01:13:22,637 --> 01:13:23,638
Come here.

780
01:13:24,598 --> 01:13:25,974
That is.

781
01:13:26,558 --> 01:13:28,310
Come with your grandfather.

782
01:13:28,810 --> 01:13:33,523
in the temple

783
01:13:34,399 --> 01:13:39,237
from Kyojin...

784
01:13:39,905 --> 01:13:41,740
Do you like me to sing to you?

785
01:13:42,449 --> 01:13:46,244
...on the eve of the party,

786
01:13:46,912 --> 01:13:50,457
the birds sing like that.

787
01:13:52,334 --> 01:13:55,003
The situation was getting worse

788
01:13:55,378 --> 01:13:58,131
as they passed
the days and the months.

789
01:13:58,798 --> 01:14:01,384
All family members

790
01:14:01,551 --> 01:14:04,346
they were paying the
consequences of so much misery.

791
01:14:06,097 --> 01:14:08,558
It's hard to keep hope

792
01:14:08,767 --> 01:14:13,313
when you live so long
subjected to such strictness.

793
01:14:18,860 --> 01:14:20,153
However,

794
01:14:21,196 --> 01:14:25,575
we were trying to survive,
in trying to get ahead.

795
01:14:26,451 --> 01:14:31,373
- The great Confucius says:
- The great Confucius says:

796
01:14:31,581 --> 01:14:36,044
- Ignore our own mission...
- Ignore our own mission...

797
01:14:36,711 --> 01:14:38,922
...does not convert us
in superior people.

798
01:14:39,130 --> 01:14:41,341
...does not convert us
in superior people.

799
01:14:41,716 --> 01:14:44,177
Ignore the label
ends up assuming failure.

800
01:14:44,344 --> 01:14:47,264
Ignore the label
ends up assuming failure.

801
01:14:54,646 --> 01:14:58,400
In case our misfortune were
Little Miho fell seriously ill.

802
01:14:59,901 --> 01:15:02,612
His delicate state of
health made the situation

803
01:15:02,988 --> 01:15:05,657
It was even more exasperating.

804
01:15:08,159 --> 01:15:12,455
But among all that suffering,
We never stop fighting.

805
01:15:47,198 --> 01:15:49,200
Motome was trying very hard.

806
01:15:53,079 --> 01:15:54,664
Poor boy.

807
01:15:56,041 --> 01:15:59,294
Community work! Come on!
Who wants to work?

808
01:15:59,836 --> 01:16:03,340
Community work!
Arms needed!

809
01:16:03,631 --> 01:16:05,008
Who wants to work?

810
01:16:09,346 --> 01:16:10,889
Hey, you samurai!

811
01:16:11,973 --> 01:16:13,850
Please get out of here!

812
01:16:14,059 --> 01:16:16,353
These men come
because they need to work.

813
01:16:16,519 --> 01:16:20,690
A worker with a safe sword
which can only cause problems.

814
01:16:20,857 --> 01:16:21,983
Get out of here!

815
01:16:22,859 --> 01:16:25,153
Come on! Community work!

816
01:16:25,904 --> 01:16:27,405
Who wants a job?

817
01:16:27,572 --> 01:16:28,948
Come here, let's go!

818
01:16:29,783 --> 01:16:32,535
Community work!
Who wants to work?

819
01:16:46,716 --> 01:16:49,260
Motome's situation was very difficult.

820
01:16:50,261 --> 01:16:53,390
All your attempts to
get ahead were in vain.

821
01:16:54,599 --> 01:16:56,935
Miho was also going from bad to worse.

822
01:16:58,478 --> 01:17:01,689
It's funny how evil
he dwells on misfortune.

823
01:17:03,149 --> 01:17:04,192
I still remember

824
01:17:05,402 --> 01:17:08,488
that that year just
we managed to survive.

825
01:17:08,696 --> 01:17:11,032
And then when spring came

826
01:17:11,366 --> 01:17:13,910
and the fields bloomed again...

827
01:17:36,933 --> 01:17:38,309
What's happening?

828
01:17:41,855 --> 01:17:43,106
Motome!

829
01:17:51,030 --> 01:17:52,031
Is it Miho?

830
01:17:54,659 --> 01:17:56,536
Hey? Is it Miho?

831
01:17:59,205 --> 01:18:00,206
It's Kingo.

832
01:18:01,166 --> 01:18:02,876
That? Kingo?

833
01:18:06,921 --> 01:18:08,381
He has a fever.

834
01:18:09,883 --> 01:18:11,843
He is burning with fever.

835
01:18:16,890 --> 01:18:19,184
Miho, how have you not noticed?

836
01:18:19,476 --> 01:18:22,228
what were you doing
while the child was sick?

837
01:18:23,688 --> 01:18:27,275
It seemed like a little fever
caused by cold.

838
01:18:27,859 --> 01:18:29,694
And what did the doctor say?

839
01:18:33,656 --> 01:18:36,242
You must have called him, right? Have you seen him?

840
01:18:48,338 --> 01:18:49,339
As?

841
01:18:50,215 --> 01:18:51,883
Haven't you called the doctor?

842
01:18:53,718 --> 01:18:56,137
Motome, why haven't you called him?

843
01:19:09,817 --> 01:19:11,027
Kingo...

844
01:19:15,532 --> 01:19:18,117
Kingo, don't give up.

845
01:19:21,996 --> 01:19:23,331
This old man

846
01:19:24,165 --> 01:19:26,334
and your parents

847
01:19:27,126 --> 01:19:29,837
they sold a long time ago
your valuables.

848
01:19:30,922 --> 01:19:32,131
We have nothing left.

849
01:19:33,383 --> 01:19:35,802
We can't do anything to save you.

850
01:19:41,015 --> 01:19:42,100
Although...

851
01:19:43,851 --> 01:19:45,770
Although we are defenseless, Kingo,

852
01:19:48,648 --> 01:19:49,899
a good samurai

853
01:19:51,317 --> 01:19:53,361
You must never give up the fight.

854
01:19:58,116 --> 01:19:59,409
Kingo,

855
01:20:00,577 --> 01:20:02,829
Don't let yourself be defeated, don't do it.

856
01:20:25,268 --> 01:20:28,146
Don't give up. Don't give up.

857
01:20:34,861 --> 01:20:35,862
Listen.

858
01:20:42,619 --> 01:20:45,872
There is still one last possibility.

859
01:20:46,456 --> 01:20:47,498
Which?

860
01:20:48,166 --> 01:20:50,209
Now I only ask that in my absence,

861
01:20:51,169 --> 01:20:52,503
Take care of Miho and Kingo.

862
01:20:54,839 --> 01:20:55,882
Motome,

863
01:20:56,883 --> 01:20:58,092
what is this new idea?

864
01:21:02,263 --> 01:21:05,892
You see, I know an old
employee who is now a lender.

865
01:21:06,059 --> 01:21:08,645
I thought I would go to
ask him for some money.

866
01:21:08,811 --> 01:21:11,481
I already know that your interests
They are always very tall,

867
01:21:11,731 --> 01:21:15,818
but it doesn't matter, this is not the time
to worry about those details.

868
01:21:15,985 --> 01:21:17,654
Okay, okay.

869
01:21:17,779 --> 01:21:20,531
If you know him, hurry up,
there is no time to waste.

870
01:21:20,698 --> 01:21:21,908
Yes, I'll go right now.

871
01:21:23,076 --> 01:21:25,787
I guess I'll come back for
the night at the latest.

872
01:21:29,082 --> 01:21:31,292
Since Miho is also sick,

873
01:21:32,335 --> 01:21:34,587
I beg you to take care of Kingo.

874
01:21:35,338 --> 01:21:37,548
Don't worry, I won't move from here.

875
01:21:38,841 --> 01:21:40,176
But please, Motome,

876
01:21:41,052 --> 01:21:44,722
the child is very serious,
you have to hurry.

877
01:21:44,889 --> 01:21:47,767
Do what you have to
do and come back right away.

878
01:21:48,976 --> 01:21:49,977
Yes.

879
01:21:50,144 --> 01:21:52,146
I'll leave now and come back tonight.

880
01:21:53,898 --> 01:21:54,857
Bye bye.

881
01:22:01,531 --> 01:22:03,574
Motome! We depend on you.

882
01:22:42,238 --> 01:22:44,323
No, leave it, leave it to me, I'll do it.

883
01:23:00,214 --> 01:23:03,259
Kingo, you have to
Hold on a little longer, son.

884
01:23:36,918 --> 01:23:38,503
Why will it be delayed?

885
01:24:15,414 --> 01:24:16,833
This is not going well.

886
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,043
Motome...

887
01:24:20,169 --> 01:24:22,129
Why isn't Motome coming back?

888
01:24:51,617 --> 01:24:56,163
Hey! Getting up now you won't do
Let Kingo's fever go down.

889
01:25:12,805 --> 01:25:16,601
Where can it be? Why
Why isn't Motome coming back?

890
01:25:17,685 --> 01:25:21,147
I should have returned at dusk,
At least that's what he promised us.

891
01:25:21,856 --> 01:25:23,190
Why don't you come back?

892
01:25:23,900 --> 01:25:25,860
Where could Motome have gone?

893
01:25:28,070 --> 01:25:29,739
I kept waiting.

894
01:25:32,450 --> 01:25:35,828
The hours seemed long
like autumn days.

895
01:25:37,788 --> 01:25:42,793
But we wait in vain, because
Motome did not return to us.

896
01:25:45,796 --> 01:25:50,760
"I guess I'll be back at night
at the latest. Take care of Kingo."

897
01:25:52,053 --> 01:25:55,348
Those were the last
words he said before leaving.

898
01:25:55,723 --> 01:25:59,769
And that was the last time
I saw Motome Chijiwa alive.

899
01:26:10,363 --> 01:26:11,572
However,

900
01:26:13,032 --> 01:26:15,409
that same night,
at dog time,

901
01:26:15,576 --> 01:26:17,495
Motome went back into the house.

902
01:26:19,538 --> 01:26:21,332
But not by himself.

903
01:26:22,041 --> 01:26:26,963
He returned accompanied by a gallant
escort of employees and servants

904
01:26:29,090 --> 01:26:30,967
of the Iyi clan.

905
01:26:33,552 --> 01:26:38,349
That has been the moving request
from the honorable Motome Shijiwa.

906
01:26:39,183 --> 01:26:42,603
However, we did not want
leave him alone at a time like this

907
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:47,233
and we have accompanied him
cordially to our garden,

908
01:26:48,109 --> 01:26:51,362
where he has been able to fulfill his wish.

909
01:26:53,864 --> 01:26:57,201
Lately it's common
that the mansions

910
01:26:57,618 --> 01:26:59,662
be visited by ancient warriors

911
01:27:00,705 --> 01:27:04,959
who extract alms
threatening to die for harakiri.

912
01:27:06,460 --> 01:27:11,382
And we understand that
clans are upset about that.

913
01:27:12,425 --> 01:27:13,592
However,

914
01:27:14,301 --> 01:27:17,471
that has not been the case of
honorable Motome Chijiwa,

915
01:27:18,389 --> 01:27:20,391
who, in fact,

916
01:27:21,225 --> 01:27:25,312
has died for harakiri in
the honorable house of Iyi,

917
01:27:25,730 --> 01:27:28,941
which has been good
adopt appropriate measures.

918
01:27:29,608 --> 01:27:33,112
We want this to serve as an example

919
01:27:33,946 --> 01:27:37,033
for other ancient warriors

920
01:27:38,159 --> 01:27:39,618
and for the weak

921
01:27:39,785 --> 01:27:43,956
and for the undecided members of
other houses, it will be a cool breeze

922
01:27:44,957 --> 01:27:49,336
that will open your eyes, without
doubt, to such unworthy elements.

923
01:27:50,796 --> 01:27:52,465
- Honorable...
- Go ahead.

924
01:27:54,425 --> 01:27:56,177
Show him the swords.

925
01:27:57,219 --> 01:27:58,429
Yes. Good idea.

926
01:27:59,472 --> 01:28:03,309
He showed up with two swords.
Do you want to examine them?

927
01:28:08,481 --> 01:28:11,984
Please note that they are made of bamboo.

928
01:28:13,194 --> 01:28:14,195
Bamboo?

929
01:28:16,322 --> 01:28:17,364
Miho!

930
01:28:32,171 --> 01:28:34,131
Note that the swords are made of bamboo.

931
01:28:35,091 --> 01:28:39,178
We do not want anything to be claimed against us
regarding the loss of the swords.

932
01:28:40,304 --> 01:28:42,306
Is it clear enough?

933
01:28:46,727 --> 01:28:48,145
You've already seen it.

934
01:28:53,484 --> 01:28:54,652
So,

935
01:28:55,194 --> 01:28:58,280
Motome would beg you
to some of you

936
01:28:58,781 --> 01:29:00,574
that you would lend him the sword.

937
01:29:01,450 --> 01:29:03,577
No, it wasn't like that.

938
01:29:04,453 --> 01:29:07,790
He died bravely
using his own sword.

939
01:29:11,752 --> 01:29:13,129
Motome died...

940
01:29:14,421 --> 01:29:16,674
with a bamboo sword?

941
01:29:18,551 --> 01:29:20,136
Exact.

942
01:29:21,345 --> 01:29:24,682
We have witnessed
in all detail

943
01:29:25,015 --> 01:29:27,768
the ritual performed
with the bamboo sword.

944
01:29:28,060 --> 01:29:29,812
An unprecedented case,

945
01:29:30,646 --> 01:29:32,940
because a samurai has to die

946
01:29:33,149 --> 01:29:36,944
with a real sword
which is the soul of the warrior.

947
01:29:39,613 --> 01:29:42,283
- We're leaving.
- Good night.

948
01:31:32,559 --> 01:31:33,978
Miho started to cry.

949
01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:38,565
And he cried.

950
01:31:41,527 --> 01:31:42,611
And he cried.

951
01:33:18,874 --> 01:33:20,125
Forgive me!

952
01:33:28,717 --> 01:33:30,469
I'm sorry.

953
01:33:31,053 --> 01:33:33,263
It was my fault for not thinking.

954
01:33:42,856 --> 01:33:44,775
You sold the swords.

955
01:33:46,985 --> 01:33:50,239
You sold them for Miho,
but I realized.

956
01:34:09,550 --> 01:34:13,720
However, here is mine.

957
01:34:15,681 --> 01:34:18,350
I've never gotten rid of mine.

958
01:34:19,643 --> 01:34:22,020
I would never have dared.

959
01:34:23,272 --> 01:34:25,274
In my sad ignorance,

960
01:34:26,859 --> 01:34:29,611
I clung to these useless symbols.

961
01:34:30,696 --> 01:34:32,865
To these worthless objects!

962
01:34:35,701 --> 01:34:37,578
Valueless objects.

963
01:34:49,673 --> 01:34:54,386
completely defeated
due to fever and in a coma,

964
01:34:55,637 --> 01:34:59,475
Kingo died two days
after that night.

965
01:35:00,851 --> 01:35:02,895
And three days later,

966
01:35:04,104 --> 01:35:06,273
Miho also passed away,

967
01:35:07,274 --> 01:35:09,776
He went with his son to the other world.

968
01:35:13,739 --> 01:35:15,532
Tsugumo Hanshiro,

969
01:35:16,492 --> 01:35:19,912
the ancient warrior whose
only wealth was his family,

970
01:35:20,078 --> 01:35:23,749
He was left completely alone in the world.

971
01:35:25,167 --> 01:35:27,169
Honorable Tsugumo,

972
01:35:29,713 --> 01:35:32,257
Does your story conclude like this?

973
01:35:34,426 --> 01:35:37,763
It concludes like this, in a way.

974
01:35:39,515 --> 01:35:40,724
No.

975
01:35:42,559 --> 01:35:45,020
A few last words.

976
01:35:48,857 --> 01:35:52,569
I pray to all present
that they listen to me well.

977
01:35:55,572 --> 01:35:59,618
No matter how extreme they are
your life circumstances,

978
01:35:59,785 --> 01:36:03,247
that a member of the
samurai class

979
01:36:04,039 --> 01:36:07,209
threatened to die for harakiri
to be helped in some way,

980
01:36:07,376 --> 01:36:12,172
It is an improper and abominable act.
that cannot be excused or forgiven.

981
01:36:14,633 --> 01:36:16,760
On the other hand,

982
01:36:19,304 --> 01:36:24,059
I think it can be fairly said.
that the behavior of this house

983
01:36:25,769 --> 01:36:30,148
with Motome Chijiwa too
leaves a lot to be desired.

984
01:36:33,151 --> 01:36:36,238
A samurai who lowers himself
to ask for a few days of grace

985
01:36:36,405 --> 01:36:39,074
It is without a doubt because
has a good reason.

986
01:36:39,241 --> 01:36:42,035
Weren't you interested in knowing his reasons?

987
01:36:42,703 --> 01:36:44,663
Certainly,

988
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:48,333
I wouldn't have been out of
place that you asked

989
01:36:48,500 --> 01:36:51,545
What reasons did you have for requesting them?

990
01:36:52,129 --> 01:36:54,423
Was that too much to ask for?

991
01:36:55,966 --> 01:36:58,760
Did no one feel the need to ask?

992
01:37:02,931 --> 01:37:05,934
He had his wife fatally ill.

993
01:37:06,518 --> 01:37:10,606
and his son who needed
pay attention or I was going to die.

994
01:37:12,232 --> 01:37:16,111
Therefore, Motome Chijiwa
begged for one last chance,

995
01:37:16,236 --> 01:37:18,864
to inform me and do
one last effort,

996
01:37:19,031 --> 01:37:21,992
before leaving everything in my
hands and return to this mansion

997
01:37:22,117 --> 01:37:24,286
to fulfill his fatal destiny.

998
01:37:24,453 --> 01:37:26,496
Hanshiro Tsugumo!

999
01:37:27,664 --> 01:37:29,958
All I'm hearing are excuses.

1000
01:37:31,251 --> 01:37:32,961
Excuses?

1001
01:37:33,795 --> 01:37:36,632
It is possible that Motome Chijiwa

1002
01:37:37,382 --> 01:37:40,552
was a victim of several
circumstances, but nevertheless,

1003
01:37:42,346 --> 01:37:45,432
It was he himself who came asking to die.

1004
01:37:46,642 --> 01:37:50,812
Although things were not
as I had planned,

1005
01:37:50,979 --> 01:37:53,690
no one brought him here, he
He sowed his own seeds.

1006
01:37:54,483 --> 01:37:59,029
You can't be resentful of others.
neither blame them, nor accuse them of anything.

1007
01:38:00,572 --> 01:38:02,032
And once here,

1008
01:38:02,199 --> 01:38:06,328
he just had to forget about it
others and die like a brave man.

1009
01:38:07,579 --> 01:38:10,499
A true samurai must face

1010
01:38:10,832 --> 01:38:13,210
to his own death with determination.

1011
01:38:13,710 --> 01:38:18,298
Begging for days of grace is
typical of a true coward.

1012
01:38:20,217 --> 01:38:23,345
Don't be surprised if someone
He took him for a madman.

1013
01:38:23,553 --> 01:38:25,514
Yes, you are right about that.

1014
01:38:26,556 --> 01:38:28,892
Motome was not in his right mind.

1015
01:38:30,143 --> 01:38:32,646
But for said alienated state of mind,

1016
01:38:32,813 --> 01:38:34,815
I only have praise.

1017
01:38:36,775 --> 01:38:41,238
Even the bravest samurai,
He is nothing more than a simple human being.

1018
01:38:41,405 --> 01:38:44,282
And as such it cannot live on air alone.

1019
01:38:46,451 --> 01:38:48,537
In the face of such a major crisis,

1020
01:38:48,912 --> 01:38:52,249
even men like Motome
They worry about their family.

1021
01:38:52,416 --> 01:38:54,501
Yes, and I'm glad that's the case.

1022
01:38:55,877 --> 01:38:57,754
The bamboo warrior.

1023
01:38:58,964 --> 01:39:00,465
Not only the samurai,

1024
01:39:00,674 --> 01:39:04,469
There are also many citizens who
They mock Motome's memory.

1025
01:39:05,470 --> 01:39:08,598
Yes, let whoever laughs.

1026
01:39:08,765 --> 01:39:13,353
They don't understand it, it's impossible to get there
to the hearts of all men.

1027
01:39:15,272 --> 01:39:18,150
The ruthless policy of the shoguns,

1028
01:39:18,984 --> 01:39:21,319
that ends with the provincial lords,

1029
01:39:21,486 --> 01:39:23,739
leads thousands of innocent people to ruin,

1030
01:39:23,905 --> 01:39:27,701
although those who eat well always
and they have never experienced misery

1031
01:39:27,868 --> 01:39:29,619
maybe they don't realize it.

1032
01:39:31,204 --> 01:39:35,125
some of you
maybe you despise Motome

1033
01:39:35,417 --> 01:39:38,295
for having begged for two days of grace,

1034
01:39:38,462 --> 01:39:41,465
but put yourself in his place,
what would you have done?

1035
01:39:44,301 --> 01:39:48,221
Because, after all, our
recognized samurai honor

1036
01:39:49,097 --> 01:39:51,767
It's just a shine that
remains on the surface.

1037
01:39:52,434 --> 01:39:53,977
I'm already tired of hearing nonsense.

1038
01:39:54,895 --> 01:39:56,062
They are not.

1039
01:39:56,521 --> 01:39:58,940
Of course they are. What are you implying?

1040
01:39:59,483 --> 01:40:01,693
that our honor is
merely superficial?

1041
01:40:03,069 --> 01:40:04,404
Exact.

1042
01:40:07,741 --> 01:40:10,160
There are those who threaten harakiri

1043
01:40:10,869 --> 01:40:13,079
and then try
avoid the consequences.

1044
01:40:13,246 --> 01:40:16,792
That behavior is
unworthy and can be dangerous.

1045
01:40:17,834 --> 01:40:20,670
You have to let those who ask for it die.

1046
01:40:20,796 --> 01:40:24,216
In fact, we help you
to fulfill his will.

1047
01:40:24,382 --> 01:40:26,426
It is the norm of our clan.

1048
01:40:27,469 --> 01:40:30,347
For us it has no
meaning the middle ground!

1049
01:40:48,657 --> 01:40:51,493
In other words, you basically

1050
01:40:52,285 --> 01:40:55,747
You think I have no intention of dying.

1051
01:40:56,790 --> 01:41:00,126
You think I have come
enraged by how you treated

1052
01:41:00,293 --> 01:41:04,381
to my son-in-law that
late, and I simply come

1053
01:41:05,090 --> 01:41:08,385
to present to you my numerous complaints.

1054
01:41:09,010 --> 01:41:10,887
Is that what you believe?

1055
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:14,558
Don't you think it's absurd?
ask me?

1056
01:41:15,267 --> 01:41:17,227
Ask yourself that.

1057
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:23,275
In any case, you do not have
intention to let me go.

1058
01:41:24,276 --> 01:41:26,194
I'll decide that.

1059
01:41:27,153 --> 01:41:30,031
Although I don't see any reason
to ask you to leave.

1060
01:41:31,199 --> 01:41:32,659
Mister.

1061
01:41:33,451 --> 01:41:37,455
Suspicious eyes attract
bad. Don't you know that proverb?

1062
01:41:37,956 --> 01:41:39,916
It is very popular.

1063
01:41:41,918 --> 01:41:46,214
I have assured you that I will fulfill my
promise to die for harakiri.

1064
01:41:51,970 --> 01:41:55,432
But, despite my
efforts, you don't believe me.

1065
01:41:57,601 --> 01:42:01,354
First, although for any
reason to get out of here alive,

1066
01:42:01,855 --> 01:42:05,025
what illusions could
have to continue living?

1067
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,905
I would rather go a thousand times
to meet with Motome,

1068
01:42:10,071 --> 01:42:12,949
with Miho and Kingo

1069
01:42:14,534 --> 01:42:18,330
to the beyond, where they are
waiting for my arrival.

1070
01:42:20,290 --> 01:42:24,669
However, I cannot introduce myself
before them with empty hands.

1071
01:42:24,878 --> 01:42:27,547
Don't you believe it? It's very simple.

1072
01:42:28,214 --> 01:42:30,634
Nothing else makes sense.

1073
01:42:35,513 --> 01:42:38,224
If I have explained the Motome situation,

1074
01:42:38,558 --> 01:42:41,061
It is because I hope that your men

1075
01:42:41,519 --> 01:42:45,357
can reach
understand and reflect

1076
01:42:45,523 --> 01:42:49,819
about his hasty decisions
before a desperate man.

1077
01:42:50,862 --> 01:42:54,658
Surely not all of them are
convinced of having done well.

1078
01:42:55,533 --> 01:43:00,163
Because, isn't it possible that
Will they take things too far?

1079
01:43:01,706 --> 01:43:06,336
Perhaps measures could have been taken
more suitable and less painful.

1080
01:43:07,712 --> 01:43:11,591
I know that a simple word in
That sense would satisfy Motome

1081
01:43:12,050 --> 01:43:14,219
and it would give him a little peace.

1082
01:43:17,597 --> 01:43:19,349
Wouldn't that be the gift

1083
01:43:19,474 --> 01:43:23,770
most appropriate that could take you
When I meet him?

1084
01:43:23,937 --> 01:43:26,064
Those were my plans,

1085
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,609
but unfortunately
I see that they will not be possible.

1086
01:43:30,151 --> 01:43:33,029
I think now we begin to understand.

1087
01:43:33,196 --> 01:43:35,991
Your moving story
It is totally useless.

1088
01:43:38,827 --> 01:43:41,204
So much talk has been of no use.

1089
01:43:41,371 --> 01:43:45,458
No, a samurai who says that the
honor of his kind only serves

1090
01:43:46,710 --> 01:43:49,546
to beautify cannot
reach our hearts.

1091
01:43:53,133 --> 01:43:55,427
In other words, you consider

1092
01:43:55,593 --> 01:43:59,389
that it is just a pitiful complaint
of a senile old warrior.

1093
01:44:01,307 --> 01:44:05,937
Well anyway, now
It is useless to complain about that.

1094
01:44:11,192 --> 01:44:15,780
Excuse my prolonged
and tedious narration.

1095
01:44:16,448 --> 01:44:19,117
I will now proceed with the ritual.

1096
01:44:23,538 --> 01:44:25,206
Wait a moment.

1097
01:44:27,667 --> 01:44:29,544
Before starting,

1098
01:44:30,295 --> 01:44:34,841
I would like to return some things
which are now in my possession.

1099
01:44:55,653 --> 01:45:00,200
Each of them carries the
name of its original owner.

1100
01:45:00,784 --> 01:45:02,702
Please examine them.

1101
01:45:10,502 --> 01:45:12,712
Honorable Hayato Yazaki.

1102
01:45:13,421 --> 01:45:17,300
And the other is from
honorable Unemosuke Kawabe.

1103
01:45:17,467 --> 01:45:19,260
Both swordsmen

1104
01:45:19,427 --> 01:45:24,265
held in high esteem in the
Iyi clan for their honor and bravery.

1105
01:45:26,184 --> 01:45:27,769
But, honorable sir

1106
01:45:29,187 --> 01:45:32,315
and others present, don't worry.

1107
01:45:33,233 --> 01:45:37,362
The only thing I accepted from them
They were the pigtails that you see there.

1108
01:45:37,570 --> 01:45:40,073
I settled for them
and I didn't want their lives.

1109
01:45:46,746 --> 01:45:49,958
My meeting with him
Honorable Hayato Yazaki

1110
01:45:51,376 --> 01:45:52,585
It was six days ago.

1111
01:47:48,785 --> 01:47:50,203
High!

1112
01:48:00,255 --> 01:48:02,840
Next was the honorable Kawabe,

1113
01:48:03,633 --> 01:48:06,594
whose ponytail I cut ago
five days, May 8.

1114
01:49:15,246 --> 01:49:17,081
However,

1115
01:49:17,248 --> 01:49:21,919
the third, the master swordsman
from the Shindo-Hunen school,

1116
01:49:22,253 --> 01:49:27,258
the honorable Hikokuro Omodaka,
It was not easy to find.

1117
01:49:28,593 --> 01:49:33,014
Probably knowing what
happened to his two companions,

1118
01:49:33,181 --> 01:49:36,059
He was alert, he never let his guard down.

1119
01:49:36,392 --> 01:49:38,311
Yes, honestly,

1120
01:49:38,686 --> 01:49:41,647
I have to admit that
I couldn't think of a way

1121
01:49:41,814 --> 01:49:45,318
to take by surprise
Honorable Hikokuro Omodaka.

1122
01:49:49,655 --> 01:49:51,491
Were you looking for me?

1123
01:50:42,667 --> 01:50:45,420
When you try to draw,

1124
01:50:46,963 --> 01:50:48,840
I will draw my sword

1125
01:50:49,465 --> 01:50:51,384
and I will kill you with one blow.

1126
01:51:00,351 --> 01:51:01,894
However,

1127
01:51:03,312 --> 01:51:07,024
I fear that my sword will remain
blocked by this lintel.

1128
01:51:10,778 --> 01:51:13,030
A side blow to your waist

1129
01:51:14,699 --> 01:51:17,160
It would be impossible for this column.

1130
01:51:20,788 --> 01:51:24,542
Sorry for my delay, but
I couldn't find you.

1131
01:51:26,752 --> 01:51:28,838
I beg you to prepare yourselves.

1132
01:51:32,091 --> 01:51:34,886
Since we cannot
celebrate the duel here,

1133
01:51:35,094 --> 01:51:38,222
we will head to the
Gojin-In plain.

1134
01:51:42,268 --> 01:51:44,520
Despite the squalor of this shack,

1135
01:51:44,687 --> 01:51:47,899
The owner will be upset if you don't come back.

1136
01:51:50,860 --> 01:51:54,655
And anyway someone will have
to go there sooner or later

1137
01:51:57,742 --> 01:52:00,119
to dispose of your corpse.

1138
01:52:06,459 --> 01:52:10,129
I suggest you leave one
note saying that you have gone

1139
01:52:10,505 --> 01:52:13,716
to the Gogin-In plain to
duel with Omodaka.

1140
01:56:50,201 --> 01:56:53,287
He wisely took advantage of the wind.

1141
01:56:53,454 --> 01:56:55,998
But not a sword
It only serves to cut,

1142
01:56:56,373 --> 01:56:59,585
can also be nailed or
be used to cut others.

1143
01:57:00,336 --> 01:57:02,880
The art of the sword that does not
has been tested in combat

1144
01:57:03,047 --> 01:57:05,341
It's like swimming on land.

1145
01:57:27,655 --> 01:57:32,284
Be that as it may, that duel on the plain

1146
01:57:32,743 --> 01:57:35,663
had been my first
combat in sixteen years.

1147
01:57:35,830 --> 01:57:37,915
Since the siege of Osaka.

1148
01:57:38,332 --> 01:57:40,709
Get your head
a man is not easy.

1149
01:57:40,876 --> 01:57:45,422
But charge only the ponytail
It is much more difficult still.

1150
01:57:50,386 --> 01:57:52,721
Regardless of the difficulty,

1151
01:57:52,888 --> 01:57:56,141
losing your ponytail is
equivalent to losing your mind

1152
01:57:56,308 --> 01:57:58,936
or even worse than losing your mind.

1153
01:57:59,353 --> 01:58:04,191
Humiliation and dishonor
They cannot be erased even with death.

1154
01:58:05,860 --> 01:58:09,864
Therefore, now, those men
they say and pretend that they are sick

1155
01:58:10,030 --> 01:58:13,826
and they hide until they grow
the pigtails, honorable sir.

1156
01:58:18,163 --> 01:58:21,542
You boast of traditions of bravery,

1157
01:58:21,750 --> 01:58:25,754
but even the best
men of the house of Iyi

1158
01:58:25,921 --> 01:58:28,591
They are just looking for a false facade.

1159
01:58:42,521 --> 01:58:45,983
He doesn't know what he's saying. Kill him!

1160
02:06:53,220 --> 02:06:56,098
Hanshiro Tsugumo is down, sir.

1161
02:06:59,559 --> 02:07:04,523
And our casualties? The
casualties among our men.

1162
02:07:06,608 --> 02:07:09,528
Masakatsu Sugita, Sobei Omemura,

1163
02:07:09,694 --> 02:07:13,907
Ichiro Shinmen and Uemon
Yoshioka have died in combat.

1164
02:07:14,449 --> 02:07:16,118
Eight others suffer injuries.

1165
02:07:19,287 --> 02:07:21,748
The ancient Geishu warrior,

1166
02:07:23,417 --> 02:07:27,087
Hanshiro Tsugumo, ha
killed by harakiri.

1167
02:07:29,047 --> 02:07:31,591
Our employees have
died of illness.

1168
02:07:32,259 --> 02:07:33,427
Yes.

1169
02:07:34,094 --> 02:07:37,472
No Iyi clan employee has died

1170
02:07:37,639 --> 02:07:41,518
nor has he been mutilated by that
impoverished ancient warrior.

1171
02:07:44,646 --> 02:07:48,275
At his own request, the former
warrior Hanshiro Tsugumo

1172
02:07:48,859 --> 02:07:51,653
Harakiri was practiced in this mansion.

1173
02:07:52,404 --> 02:07:54,739
Our men died of disease.

1174
02:07:54,906 --> 02:07:58,034
There can't be any
relationship between both events.

1175
02:07:58,160 --> 02:07:59,327
Yes.

1176
02:08:02,456 --> 02:08:05,959
See to it that no man
more die from disease.

1177
02:08:06,793 --> 02:08:10,505
May the wounded receive
treatment immediately.

1178
02:08:10,672 --> 02:08:11,840
Yes sir.

1179
02:08:22,100 --> 02:08:24,186
Honorable sir, I am back.

1180
02:08:27,939 --> 02:08:31,109
Omodaka Hikokuro...

1181
02:08:32,319 --> 02:08:35,071
He died last night at his residence.

1182
02:08:38,825 --> 02:08:42,120
The other two men, Kawabe and Yakazi,

1183
02:08:42,412 --> 02:08:45,790
they still say they are
sick, but sir, I think...

1184
02:08:45,999 --> 02:08:47,501
Idiot!

1185
02:08:49,169 --> 02:08:52,172
Why haven't you ordered them
Will they kill themselves too?

1186
02:08:53,256 --> 02:08:56,885
Go immediately and order them
Let them die for harakiri.

1187
02:08:59,095 --> 02:09:01,473
And take some swordsmen.

1188
02:09:02,057 --> 02:09:05,519
If they refuse, you will have to kill them
in the act without contemplations.

1189
02:09:05,685 --> 02:09:07,020
Understood?

1190
02:09:08,605 --> 02:09:11,358
And, for everyone, these too
men, including Omodaka,

1191
02:09:11,525 --> 02:09:16,154
They will have been victims of a
serious illness, not harakiri.

1192
02:09:18,740 --> 02:09:19,950
Idiot!

1193
02:09:22,494 --> 02:09:25,121
Do you know what they will be
for you the consequences

1194
02:09:25,288 --> 02:09:27,958
If you don't comply with what I order you?

1195
02:09:28,124 --> 02:09:31,378
Damn idiot! Go right now!

1196
02:09:32,212 --> 02:09:33,964
I'm coming, sir. I'm coming, sir.

1197
02:11:03,511 --> 02:11:07,557
The ancient warrior
Geishu, Hanshiro Tsugumo,

1198
02:11:08,933 --> 02:11:11,645
He died for harakiri in the evening.

1199
02:11:13,980 --> 02:11:17,359
Your words and actions
They were very strange.

1200
02:11:17,651 --> 02:11:21,696
Many considered that
I had lost my mind.

1201
02:11:23,865 --> 02:11:28,578
The willingness to die
another of the Geishu warriors

1202
02:11:28,787 --> 02:11:31,581
Motome Chijiwa, who died in January,

1203
02:11:32,999 --> 02:11:35,752
We also thought it was appropriate

1204
02:11:35,919 --> 02:11:39,464
and the fame of the house of Iyi
was greatly enhanced.

1205
02:11:41,758 --> 02:11:45,303
Also in this case, our firmness

1206
02:11:45,929 --> 02:11:49,891
was soon known for
the entire administration.

1207
02:11:51,434 --> 02:11:55,480
Consequently, three days later,

1208
02:11:56,606 --> 02:11:58,358
during a session
formal in the castle,

1209
02:11:58,525 --> 02:12:00,944
The Lord took advantage of the opportunity to praise

1210
02:12:01,111 --> 02:12:03,738
to our honored heir Bennosuke

1211
02:12:03,905 --> 02:12:06,199
both in peace and in war.

1212
02:12:07,117 --> 02:12:10,495
It was clear to everyone
that the house of Iyi

1213
02:12:11,329 --> 02:12:13,790
would prosper throughout the centuries.

1214
02:12:14,332 --> 02:12:18,461
May 16, 1630.

1215
02:12:19,921 --> 02:12:24,801
Kan-Ei's seventh year.
