1
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,450
In 1578, Oda Nobunaga advanced
with his army to the west,
2
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,350
to unify Japan.
3
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,300
Araki Murashige, one of its main
vassals, suddenly rebelled
4
00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:56,350
against his lord, in the castle
from Arioka, Settsu Province.
5
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:03,000
To this day, the reason for this
rebellion remains a mystery.
6
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:07,400
Arioka Castle was
surrounded by Oda's army.
7
00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:10,000
The impasse continued.
8
00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:55,611
A brilliant plan
to resist the siege.
9
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,300
It will give new energy
to the western provinces.
10
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800
And it will leave Oda with no way out.
11
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:05,900
- We just have to buy time.
- How to order.
12
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:12,800
My lord, an emissary
de Oda asks for an audience.
13
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,900
Who is it?
14
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,500
It's Mr. Kuroda Kanbei.
15
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,700
Kanbei...
16
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,830
Spare me the formalities.
17
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:28,700
Kanbei.
18
00:02:31,340 --> 00:02:34,200
I see that the castle
prepares for war.
19
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,600
I learned that Araki, lord of Settsu,
decided to resist the siege.
20
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:41,500
I had a hard time believing,
But now I see it's true.
21
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,150
So you really broke up with Oda.
22
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:44,900
So it is.
23
00:02:44,950 --> 00:02:47,500
You also came to make me
change your mind?
24
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,650
With his rebellion against Oda,
25
00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:53,467
Hashiba Hideyoshi's army,
in Harima, you will be immobilized.
26
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,030
I understand your reasoning.
27
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,300
It's a masterstroke,
at the right time and place.
28
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Is it really what you think?
29
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,100
So, Kanbei, join me.
30
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,986
He would be one of my commanders.
31
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,250
But you cannot win this war.
32
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:12,350
Must count
with the Mōri, to the west.
33
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,350
The Mōri will never come.
34
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,500
Why do you say that?
35
00:03:17,860 --> 00:03:20,950
A war against Oda
would decide the fate of the kingdom.
36
00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:24,100
The Mōri don't want this war.
37
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,000
I can force them into it.
38
00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:33,250
Don't trust Terumoto.
39
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,500
He is a master of intrigue.
40
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:38,700
No matter how much they swear an alliance,
41
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,650
This is no guarantee of anything.
42
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:43,600
You know that
Well done, Murashige.
43
00:03:44,340 --> 00:03:46,700
And with Nobunaga it is no different.
44
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,750
So between Mōri and Oda,
45
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:52,200
worth seeing
which way the scales tip.
46
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:57,100
Even if it takes
the kingdom to ruin?
47
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,000
Do you think the kingdom
of Oda will not perish?
48
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,200
So it's worth taking a risk.
49
00:04:08,870 --> 00:04:11,650
So are you really going to stay with Oda?
50
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:13,410
I understand.
51
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Lock him in a cell!
52
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,180
Yes!
53
00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:27,100
An emissary must return alive.
54
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,500
But if I let him go, the men
of Harima will exchange the Mōri for Oda.
55
00:04:37,950 --> 00:04:41,220
If you can't let me go, you must kill me.
It's the samurai code.
56
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:43,800
Mr. Murashige,
Why do you treat me like this?
57
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:47,300
I'm sparing your life.
What are you complaining about?
58
00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:48,550
A lot of things!
59
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,150
Why don't you kill me?
60
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,200
Kill me!
61
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,600
Mr. Murashige,
I ask you to listen to me.
62
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:17,150
I have a son, my lord.
63
00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:20,300
His name is Shojumaru.
He's eleven years old.
64
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,300
It is under Oda's custody,
65
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:25,100
waiting for the father
go back home.
66
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,200
So what?
67
00:05:26,380 --> 00:05:28,550
At least cut off my head
68
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,642
and handed it over to Lord Nobunaga.
69
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,300
Want to try
Your loyalty to death?
70
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:38,600
Yes. If I don't come back,
They will say that I went over to the enemy.
71
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:42,150
And Shojumaru will lose his life.
72
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,050
I intend to free you
further on.
73
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,650
Until then, you will stay alive
and it will be useful to me.
74
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:52,550
It will contradict
the samurai code?
75
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,200
If I just followed this code,
I wouldn't be here.
76
00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:02,200
I was deceived, Mr. Murashige.
77
00:06:02,420 --> 00:06:05,550
You came to this castle
because I wanted to.
78
00:06:05,780 --> 00:06:12,200
Kanbei, curse the day
when you decided to come here.
79
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,600
Give him water and rice.
No one can visit you.
80
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:23,950
This will still come back
against you.
81
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,950
The samurai and the prisoner
82
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:44,100
So the rumors
they were true.
83
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:47,300
That fool
by Nakagawa Kiyohide...
84
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,421
Was to bow
Oda right now...
85
00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:52,130
He is ungrateful to our lord.
86
00:06:52,180 --> 00:06:54,651
It was to be expected
for Nakagawa to betray us.
87
00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:57,800
Oda's fear made him
lose reason.
88
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,700
And now Oda threatens to surround
Arioka everywhere.
89
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:05,650
What is there to fear?
90
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:09,698
They have no way of taking this castle.
No way.
91
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,850
When the Mōri mobilize,
92
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:14,050
the situation will change
completely.
93
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:14,930
Undoubtedly.
94
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:15,680
My lord.
95
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:21,960
That's right.
96
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:40,018
I bring bad news.
97
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:41,800
What is that?
98
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Abe Niemon passed
to Oda's side.
99
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,518
He is Jinen's father.
100
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,850
And even?
101
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:49,950
Mr. Abe is very connected
to the Ikkō of Honganji.
102
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,355
Oda already made him swallow
lots of insults.
103
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:53,500
And now...
104
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,900
surrendered to Oda without a fight?
105
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,150
His son, Jinen,
106
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,100
You are here as a hostage.
107
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:06,400
The samurai code demands
let him be crucified.
108
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,450
Crucified?
109
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:08,441
Yes, my lord.
110
00:08:08,740 --> 00:08:11,900
No. Jinen goes to a cell.
111
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Will you spare Jinen?
112
00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:15,120
I go.
113
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:19,150
Why do you want to spare him?
114
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:23,850
Winter
— Jinen —
115
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,296
I heard that Mr. Abe
changed sides.
116
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,900
Were you already aware?
117
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Jinen must be devastated.
118
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,400
I always knew
that it would end like this.
119
00:08:44,450 --> 00:08:47,800
The son of a samurai
is ready to die.
120
00:08:48,030 --> 00:08:48,950
Ready to die?
121
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,900
How absurd.
122
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:53,750
What do you mean, my lord?
123
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,050
A boy talking
to be ready to die...
124
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,900
Jinen and I follow
the Shinshū school.
125
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,100
He is always ready
to go to Paradise.
126
00:09:05,150 --> 00:09:07,450
A boy who doesn't even know the world
127
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,250
Can you know something about Paradise?
128
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,750
Even if you say that,
129
00:09:12,980 --> 00:09:14,340
Paradise is real.
130
00:09:15,340 --> 00:09:17,340
I already understand. Enough.
131
00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:21,500
Let me pass!
Let me pass!
132
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,350
It's me, Abe Jinen.
133
00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:29,850
Mr. Murashige.
134
00:09:30,060 --> 00:09:31,650
I came to ask you a favor.
135
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:32,900
I ask you to listen to me.
136
00:09:37,710 --> 00:09:39,400
Mr. Murashige.
137
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:50,850
Madam Chiyoho,
I ask forgiveness for my father's betrayal.
138
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:53,900
I beg you not to crucify me.
139
00:09:54,140 --> 00:09:57,400
Instead,
give me a short sword.
140
00:09:57,620 --> 00:09:59,738
With her, I can
reach Paradise.
141
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:07,350
My lord, spare Jinen
more suffering in this world.
142
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:09,400
- Give him a sword.
- No!
143
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:15,150
Lock him in a cell.
144
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,300
- Is that really what you want?
- Will you keep Jinen alive?
145
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,100
Don't confuse
my decision with mercy.
146
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:26,750
If it's not mercy, what is it?
147
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,920
If you don't want to fulfill my request...
148
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:36,830
His life and his death
it's up to me.
149
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,670
Only in ten years
you could kill yourself!
150
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,020
Why do you humiliate me like this?
151
00:10:48,050 --> 00:10:51,970
Lock him in a room.
Don't let him out.
152
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:55,400
My lord...
153
00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:08,200
Forgive the inconvenience.
154
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:16,640
I still don't understand
your intentions.
155
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:24,820
Kyūzaemon.
156
00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:29,070
Jinen refuses to eat?
157
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,250
They said they almost
doesn't drink water.
158
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:34,730
You are protesting
against my decision?
159
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:37,180
Make him eat,
whatever it takes.
160
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,610
My lord, I ask
to reconsider.
161
00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:42,970
If the betrayal
of Abe going unpunished,
162
00:11:43,020 --> 00:11:45,630
they will say that the Araki hesitate
to execute a hostage.
163
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:46,730
They will despise us.
164
00:11:46,780 --> 00:11:48,810
It's not time yet
of Jinen dying.
165
00:11:48,860 --> 00:11:51,170
But, my lord...
166
00:11:51,220 --> 00:11:54,920
If we had a hostage from Nakagawa,
Maybe he wouldn't betray us.
167
00:11:55,940 --> 00:11:59,050
But you didn't demand
no hostage to him.
168
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:02,610
Nakagawa would betray us
with or without hostages.
169
00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:04,660
He was always that kind of man.
170
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:08,970
Forgive me.
171
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:11,300
Abe Jinen has just died.
172
00:12:11,740 --> 00:12:12,440
What?
173
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,650
It's unforgivable.
174
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:24,818
Something like that...
175
00:12:35,420 --> 00:12:37,090
An arrow wound.
176
00:12:37,140 --> 00:12:39,790
But the arrow was not found?
177
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,300
No, my lord.
178
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:45,740
Jūemon, was the door open?
179
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,330
Before me, my lord,
180
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:51,930
Mr. Akioka Shirōnosuke
had already entered.
181
00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:54,670
Said the door was open
about nine centimeters.
182
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,470
Nine centimeters?
183
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,260
Is it possible to shoot an arrow
for this opening.
184
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:35,250
Who was on guard
in that tower?
185
00:13:35,710 --> 00:13:36,580
I don't know.
186
00:13:36,630 --> 00:13:38,380
I'll find out right now.
187
00:13:38,430 --> 00:13:41,300
And who guarded Jinen?
188
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:41,900
We were...
189
00:13:41,950 --> 00:13:43,350
Mr. Itami Ichirōza,
190
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,460
Mori Kahei,
191
00:13:44,510 --> 00:13:46,450
Akioka Shirōnosuke...
192
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:47,794
four men in all.
193
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:51,710
Find out who was in the tower.
194
00:13:53,060 --> 00:13:55,670
And compare the testimonials.
195
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,410
Did you already know?
196
00:13:57,460 --> 00:14:00,770
They say an arrow
invisible killed Jinen.
197
00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:03,750
It was a divine punishment
for Abe's betrayal.
198
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,170
No, no...
199
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:07,970
It was the work of our lord.
200
00:14:08,020 --> 00:14:11,130
First, he promises to spare Jinen.
201
00:14:11,180 --> 00:14:13,390
Then, to defend
the honor of the Araki,
202
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,590
he kills him himself.
203
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,960
Our lord did not kill anyone.
204
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,740
So it can only be divine punishment.
205
00:14:25,140 --> 00:14:28,770
I've never seen anything so strange.
206
00:14:28,820 --> 00:14:30,540
This is absurd.
207
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:33,750
If it were a punishment from Heaven,
208
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,550
would have hit the father
him, who betrayed us.
209
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,660
It was not execution
nor divine punishment.
210
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,270
What was it then?
211
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,520
A murder.
212
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,450
So it was some
type of witchcraft?
213
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,620
Don't talk nonsense.
214
00:14:52,020 --> 00:14:55,150
It's an arrow wound.
There is no doubt.
215
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,020
But like the killer
Did you do this, my lord?
216
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,460
This will become clear over time.
217
00:15:17,330 --> 00:15:20,530
We found out who
I was in the tower, my lord.
218
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:24,600
A sniper called
Sagehari, from Saika.
219
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:26,850
Did he carry a bow?
220
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:27,750
We don't know.
221
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,880
That's what I thought.
222
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,230
Sukesaburō, help me.
223
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,440
Yes. At your command.
224
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,090
In this way, the arrow
leaves a mark in the snow.
225
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:04,950
Sukesaburō, bring everyone
who were here that day.
226
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,820
Including the Saika shooter.
227
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,750
I was really
in the tower that day.
228
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:25,450
But he watched the side
from outside the walls.
229
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:28,800
I turned my back to the courtyard.
230
00:17:28,850 --> 00:17:30,690
And you didn't hear anything?
231
00:17:30,740 --> 00:17:35,210
The tower is about eighteen
meters from the patio.
232
00:17:35,260 --> 00:17:39,830
If there was a lot of noise,
I would have listened.
233
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,020
But I didn't hear anything.
234
00:17:44,940 --> 00:17:49,190
Did you have a bow?
235
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:55,870
I only know how to use muskets.
I've never used a bow.
236
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,020
Understood. You can go.
237
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,380
My lord.
238
00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:06,200
Ichirōza, tell
everything you remember.
239
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,621
Yes, my lord.
240
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:16,170
I heard movement in the room
from Jinen and ran there.
241
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:21,060
Jūemon and Akioka
they were already next to the body.
242
00:18:23,740 --> 00:18:28,200
I think Jūemon
He had his bow.
243
00:18:33,890 --> 00:18:41,950
I don't remember well. I watched
the hallway on the other side of the garden.
244
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,040
When I heard the commotion,
I stayed at the post, keeping an eye out for intruders.
245
00:18:49,620 --> 00:18:56,500
Mori, for those who don't remember,
you told a lot of details.
246
00:18:57,660 --> 00:18:58,601
Yes, my lord.
247
00:18:59,660 --> 00:19:02,420
I don't remember
everything clearly.
248
00:19:03,230 --> 00:19:09,110
But, as you wanted to know,
I made an effort to remember.
249
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:13,780
I patrolled before
from Jinen's room
250
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:17,880
and I saw the door ajar.
Before it was closed.
251
00:19:17,930 --> 00:19:21,100
I entered on time, my lord.
252
00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:25,580
Jinen was down
next to the brazier.
253
00:19:25,630 --> 00:19:29,620
He wasn't breathing. He was already dead.
254
00:19:29,670 --> 00:19:33,540
Shortly after, Jūemon arrived.
255
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:36,560
I went out to look for the killer.
256
00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:41,190
I'm sure Jūemon
He had his bow.
257
00:19:42,450 --> 00:19:43,300
Right.
258
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:45,600
Jūemon...
259
00:19:56,850 --> 00:20:00,570
A beautiful victory,
Mr. Nakanishi.
260
00:20:01,530 --> 00:20:04,380
It was thanks to my soldiers.
261
00:20:04,430 --> 00:20:08,220
Mutō Sōemon, by Oda,
fled in despair.
262
00:20:08,270 --> 00:20:10,900
It was a great battle.
263
00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:14,300
But we left Mutō
escape with your life.
264
00:20:14,350 --> 00:20:16,220
A shame.
265
00:20:16,270 --> 00:20:17,850
Sake! Bring sake!
266
00:20:37,210 --> 00:20:38,570
Jūemon?
267
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:43,320
I talked to the soldiers.
268
00:20:43,370 --> 00:20:46,710
Why are they discouraged,
even after victory?
269
00:20:47,710 --> 00:20:52,160
Everyone says they didn't hear
the drums of war.
270
00:20:52,210 --> 00:20:55,460
But I think they agreed
this story.
271
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:57,010
This is not good at all.
272
00:20:58,570 --> 00:21:00,276
And what is the real reason?
273
00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:07,820
I heard some soldiers talking.
274
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:10,160
Were they talking about me?
275
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,000
Speak without fear.
276
00:21:23,310 --> 00:21:29,940
They say he promised to save
a hostage and then killed him.
277
00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:33,220
That was so cruel
as Nobunaga.
278
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:36,220
If it was just cruelty,
it wouldn't be a problem.
279
00:21:36,270 --> 00:21:38,240
But they think I killed Jinen
280
00:21:38,290 --> 00:21:39,540
and then I denied everything.
281
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:42,540
That's what they say, right?
282
00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:43,790
I'm afraid so.
283
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,440
We need to act before it gets worse.
284
00:21:49,940 --> 00:21:51,540
By the way, Jūemon...
285
00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:55,830
The night Jinen died,
286
00:21:56,570 --> 00:22:00,790
you had a bow.
287
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,950
If an intruder entered
288
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,910
and tried to escape across the rooftops,
289
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,610
a guard would need a bow.
290
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:10,790
When I entered
in Jinen's room,
291
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,000
You didn't have the bow.
292
00:22:13,940 --> 00:22:17,250
I left it in the next room.
293
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:19,830
I left Akioka
chase the killer
294
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,810
and I stayed to examine
Jinen's room.
295
00:22:23,860 --> 00:22:28,100
The bow would only get in the way.
296
00:22:28,150 --> 00:22:29,700
He is well.
297
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:31,210
I believe in you.
298
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:40,790
About Jinen, record everything
in writing, without omitting anything.
299
00:22:41,220 --> 00:22:41,770
Quickly.
300
00:22:41,820 --> 00:22:43,200
Immediately.
301
00:23:02,260 --> 00:23:03,160
Who goes there?
302
00:23:05,780 --> 00:23:06,550
My lord.
303
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,990
I didn't expect to see
you sir here.
304
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,110
I'll go in.
305
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,040
Yes.
306
00:23:41,670 --> 00:23:44,070
I hope this has poison.
307
00:23:44,830 --> 00:23:46,210
I wish.
308
00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:53,430
You look good.
309
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,960
I thought we would only see each other
310
00:23:57,420 --> 00:23:59,390
when Arioka fell.
311
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,280
But Arioka is still standing.
312
00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:04,010
So there would be no reason
to see each other.
313
00:24:04,060 --> 00:24:06,770
When the castle falls,
you will also die.
314
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:09,180
It's time for you to be useful to me.
315
00:24:11,140 --> 00:24:14,050
I spend all my time here,
316
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:18,070
between sleep and wakefulness,
the night and the day.
317
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:19,950
How could I help you?
318
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,800
It's a very real problem.
319
00:24:24,260 --> 00:24:26,460
Kanbei, I need your cunning.
320
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:33,800
The son of Abe Niemon,
321
00:24:33,850 --> 00:24:36,860
Jinen, was murdered
in the castle.
322
00:24:36,910 --> 00:24:39,640
Nobody understands how they killed him.
323
00:24:39,690 --> 00:24:41,970
I can't leave
this without a solution.
324
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:03,480
Such an important gentleman
325
00:26:03,860 --> 00:26:06,530
lost before
of such a strange death...
326
00:26:06,580 --> 00:26:08,390
Enough with the provocations.
327
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,290
If you already know how Jinen was killed,
328
00:26:10,340 --> 00:26:11,830
explain at once.
329
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,140
Mr. Murashige.
330
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,670
First, can I tell you something?
331
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,280
I have nothing to do here.
I die of boredom.
332
00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:20,440
Good?
333
00:26:22,670 --> 00:26:24,900
Throughout his rise,
Murashige,
334
00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:28,080
you spared your hostages.
335
00:26:28,130 --> 00:26:30,440
sent women
and children home.
336
00:26:30,490 --> 00:26:34,460
Why?
337
00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:38,360
Because I've never seen
advantage in killing them.
338
00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:41,620
Even when he rebelled
against Oda,
339
00:26:41,670 --> 00:26:45,200
sent all the emissaries
him back, alive.
340
00:26:45,250 --> 00:26:46,820
For the same reason.
341
00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:48,320
Killing them wouldn't do any good.
342
00:26:48,370 --> 00:26:50,500
Nor did it require
Nakagawa hostages,
343
00:26:50,550 --> 00:26:54,590
so I don't have to kill them
if he betrayed him. Right?
344
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,780
What about me?
345
00:27:00,770 --> 00:27:03,940
Why am I still alive?
346
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:05,696
Why do you ask, if you already know?
347
00:27:07,490 --> 00:27:10,240
I know very well why you don't kill,
348
00:27:10,290 --> 00:27:13,010
and I've known for a long time.
349
00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:18,200
So why do you ask?
350
00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:21,870
Your words don't make sense.
351
00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:24,960
Can't figure it out
Jinen's murder
352
00:27:25,010 --> 00:27:26,940
and you are buying time.
That's all.
353
00:27:26,990 --> 00:27:28,860
It's not true.
354
00:27:28,910 --> 00:27:33,410
You contradict the code
of the samurai so as not to kill.
355
00:27:33,810 --> 00:27:35,870
And the consequence of that choice
356
00:27:36,510 --> 00:27:38,650
it was Jinen's mysterious death.
357
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,750
So I need to ask you.
358
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Mr. Murashige.
359
00:27:48,140 --> 00:27:52,140
What are you so afraid of?
360
00:27:56,850 --> 00:27:58,080
Aren't you going to respond?
361
00:27:58,130 --> 00:27:59,570
I wasted my time.
362
00:28:03,660 --> 00:28:05,320
Wait.
363
00:28:09,260 --> 00:28:12,260
Let me recite a poem.
364
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,450
A turbulent sea...
365
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:20,290
The fire doesn't catch
on the damaged boom.
366
00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:22,150
I can neither stay nor leave.
367
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,140
Neither advance nor retreat.
368
00:28:33,380 --> 00:28:36,600
Neither stay nor leave,
neither advance nor retreat.
369
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,790
Neither stay nor leave,
neither advance nor retreat.
370
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,540
My lord.
371
00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:48,720
You keep repeating:
“Neither advance nor retreat.”
372
00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:50,650
I understand.
373
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:54,030
A poem that mocks the Araki.
374
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,950
The original was like this,
if I remember correctly:
375
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,250
“Araki’s bow,
pressed towards Harima,
376
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:03,090
can neither stay nor go,
377
00:29:03,140 --> 00:29:05,350
neither advance nor retreat.”
378
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,670
Wasn't that it?
379
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,880
And the fire part
on the damaged boom?
380
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,140
I... don't understand, my lord.
381
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,530
I came to get the brazier.
382
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:25,250
It was you who gave
a brazier to Jinen?
383
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:26,000
Yes.
384
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:32,080
You took very good care of him.
385
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:40,020
If I had had a son
when I married you,
386
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,110
he would be Jinen's age.
387
00:29:58,300 --> 00:30:01,090
My lord, “the fire doesn’t catch”...
388
00:30:01,140 --> 00:30:03,022
Could it be a reference to the lantern?
389
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,140
The fire doesn't catch...
390
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,680
The damaged spear...
391
00:30:34,220 --> 00:30:38,320
This flashlight...
and the damaged boom.
392
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,000
So that was it, Kanbei!
393
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:05,060
I already know how the killer
killed Jinen.
394
00:31:05,110 --> 00:31:07,570
Now it all makes sense.
395
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,320
There was no arrow
that disappeared into thin air.
396
00:31:12,220 --> 00:31:14,760
This is what he used.
397
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,910
There are five spears
meters and a half.
398
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,070
Two, tied to each other.
399
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,380
Impossible...
400
00:31:38,090 --> 00:31:40,450
That day,
across the garden,
401
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:42,130
there was only one man.
402
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,450
Mori Kahei.
403
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:51,910
It was you who killed Jinen.
404
00:31:59,020 --> 00:32:02,060
Why did you kill someone
that I had saved?
405
00:32:03,660 --> 00:32:08,290
Explain. Don't come to me
say you forgot.
406
00:32:08,340 --> 00:32:10,210
It was out of gratitude, my lord.
407
00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:11,850
The son of a traitor is an enemy,
408
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:13,050
enemy of Buddha's law,
409
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:14,490
and your enemy, my lord.
410
00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:16,900
Enemies must
be destroyed.
411
00:32:17,780 --> 00:32:20,590
That was why
what came up with this trick?
412
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,050
No...
413
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:24,490
I killed Jinen,
But I wasn't the one who killed him.
414
00:32:24,540 --> 00:32:25,650
Like a fool like me
415
00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:28,040
Could you have this idea?
416
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,810
It could only have been
divine inspiration.
417
00:32:30,860 --> 00:32:32,350
Therefore, Jinen's death
418
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,450
It is Buddha's punishment.
419
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,340
This doesn't make sense.
420
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,710
Someone tricked him into doing it.
421
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,420
Never...
422
00:32:42,140 --> 00:32:42,980
Not at all.
423
00:32:46,580 --> 00:32:48,860
So your crime is not light.
424
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:55,320
Execute me!
425
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:12,940
Don't resist!
426
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,229
There is no excuse for that!
427
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,950
My lord, kill him at once!
428
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,529
You need to set an example...
429
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,000
Listen.
430
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,700
Who disagrees
of my decision, let me speak.
431
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,030
I will not tolerate their actions
based on assumptions.
432
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:53,700
Still,
433
00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:56,420
I will listen to your arguments.
434
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,558
I'll let him live.
435
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,560
Redeem yourself with feats in battle.
436
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:04,994
Without fail, my lord.
437
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,287
The investigation ends here.
438
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,631
Each one to their post.
439
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,260
Trust me.
440
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,020
Trust in Arioka's strength.
441
00:34:20,260 --> 00:34:22,040
And reject Oda.
442
00:34:34,180 --> 00:34:35,570
I bring news, my lord.
443
00:34:35,620 --> 00:34:37,914
Oda's vanguard
is approaching.
444
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,450
Hori Kyūtarō and Manmi Senchiyo,
445
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:42,880
accompanied by Sugaya Kuemon.
446
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:46,800
They're just boys.
447
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,960
It seems that Oda underestimates Arioka.
448
00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:55,090
Let them come.
We will show our strength.
449
00:34:55,140 --> 00:34:55,840
Yes!
450
00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:05,120
My lord,
our army won!
451
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:13,000
Mori Kahei faced
the enemy alone
452
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,900
and died bravely.
453
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:17,420
I understand.
454
00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:26,900
Spring
— The head —
455
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,560
Nobunaga invited me
to hunt with your hawks!
456
00:35:53,380 --> 00:35:54,780
Insolence!
457
00:35:55,740 --> 00:35:56,900
What audacity!
458
00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:59,240
As if I would accept it.
459
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:04,230
If he needs to appeal
to such artifices,
460
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,040
It's because Oda can't
take Arioka by force.
461
00:36:09,940 --> 00:36:10,700
I understand.
462
00:36:23,420 --> 00:36:26,700
I will not tolerate
Nobunaga's arrogance.
463
00:36:29,060 --> 00:36:33,660
My answer will be the head
who launched the letter.
464
00:36:37,340 --> 00:36:38,780
But the Mōri...
465
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,540
When will the Mōri arrive?
466
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,150
When Ukita Naoie acts,
the Mōri will come next.
467
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,410
What if Ukita betrays us?
468
00:36:49,460 --> 00:36:51,460
What are you afraid of?
469
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,890
If Nobunaga appeals
to letters attached to arrows,
470
00:36:55,940 --> 00:36:59,090
It's because you know
that Arioka will not fall.
471
00:36:59,140 --> 00:37:00,850
Very well said.
472
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:03,070
I expected nothing less from you.
473
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:03,826
If allowed,
474
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,499
Magoroku of the Saika,
at your orders.
475
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,350
We, Saika, three years ago
476
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,580
we hate Nobunaga without being able to act.
477
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,700
Mr. Murashige just needs to order,
478
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,450
and we will lead the attack
479
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:23,690
to destroy
the ranks of Oda.
480
00:37:23,740 --> 00:37:24,950
Wait.
481
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,310
Lord Magoroku.
482
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,720
I'm Takayama Dario.
483
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:31,150
The avant-garde, I believe,
484
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,870
it's up to us, from Takatsuki.
485
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,090
Don't you agree?
486
00:37:35,140 --> 00:37:36,140
No.
487
00:37:38,180 --> 00:37:41,460
Neither Takatsuki nor Saika
will come out of the walls.
488
00:37:42,740 --> 00:37:44,740
We don't have men
to waste.
489
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,240
Don't leave. Defend the castle.
490
00:38:01,820 --> 00:38:04,280
My initial performance
Was it convincing?
491
00:38:09,980 --> 00:38:13,580
Nakanishi reacted
as you predicted.
492
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:20,460
But I almost died of fright when Saika
and Takatsuki wanted to go out together.
493
00:38:26,740 --> 00:38:29,900
Now tell me
from the enemy camp.
494
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,260
Ōtsu Nagamasa, from Oda,
is camped to the east.
495
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:38,780
Nagamasa... You're still young, aren't you?
496
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,071
And there's more, my lord...
497
00:38:41,260 --> 00:38:43,740
Nobunaga did not order camp there.
498
00:38:44,620 --> 00:38:45,326
He is sure?
499
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,042
The boy seeks glory alone.
500
00:38:48,140 --> 00:38:49,020
How many are there?
501
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,913
Less than a hundred, I believe.
502
00:38:51,420 --> 00:38:52,730
Can you guide us there?
503
00:38:52,780 --> 00:38:53,721
Yes, my lord.
504
00:38:55,380 --> 00:38:57,145
Excellent! Good job, Ichirōza.
505
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,520
It's good to see everyone here!
506
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:15,230
Tonight,
we will attack by surprise.
507
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,692
The powerful enemy
is camped to the east.
508
00:39:17,780 --> 00:39:19,860
Our target is Ōtsu Nagamasa.
509
00:39:20,940 --> 00:39:23,020
I will lead the guard myself.
510
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,452
If equipment is missing,
get it from the armory.
511
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,700
Anyone who is afraid can stay.
512
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,221
Let's take the head
from Nagamasa!
513
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:11,640
Ichirōza, just guide us
until here. Good job.
514
00:40:18,820 --> 00:40:21,055
Takatsuki on the right,
Saika on the left.
515
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,230
Eliminate those two.
516
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,339
If it works,
attack on my signal.
517
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,950
If something goes wrong,
518
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,176
Sound the conch loudly and for a long time.
Then retreat immediately.
519
00:40:53,380 --> 00:40:58,250
I'll take the young man on the right.
Sukesaburō, take care of each other.
520
00:40:58,300 --> 00:40:59,000
Yes!
521
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,540
My lord,
the enemy flees in despair!
522
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,070
Prepare the shell!
523
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:49,820
Yes!
524
00:41:54,740 --> 00:41:56,980
I'm Hori Yatarō.
525
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,900
You must be the commander here.
526
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:03,550
Yes I am!
527
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,600
Let's fight!
528
00:42:21,910 --> 00:42:24,760
Ichiroza!
529
00:42:25,020 --> 00:42:25,980
You...!
530
00:42:28,450 --> 00:42:29,150
Ichiroza!
531
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,120
You fought very well.
532
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:20,300
It's bitter to have to say goodbye like this.
533
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:23,440
My lord...
534
00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:29,840
I beg you to take care of my son.
535
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:32,730
I promise.
You can leave it to me.
536
00:43:32,780 --> 00:43:35,600
It's the signal!
Oda's reinforcements are coming.
537
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,310
Excellent. Withdrawal!
538
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:40,060
Yes.
539
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,820
Let's examine the heads.
540
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:57,990
Bring the heads.
541
00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:05,560
Hori Yatarō,
killed by the hands of our lord.
542
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:06,790
Good.
543
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,220
Next.
544
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,440
This was taken
by Takatsuki's men.
545
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,620
Who would he be?
546
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:24,530
Like men
from Takatsuki killed him?
547
00:44:24,580 --> 00:44:25,280
Yes.
548
00:44:25,980 --> 00:44:29,560
In the confusion of the fight,
no one said the name.
549
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:33,920
I don't know for sure who I killed.
550
00:44:35,660 --> 00:44:36,660
The next one then.
551
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,680
This was taken
by the Saika men.
552
00:44:45,660 --> 00:44:49,580
We don't know the name either.
It's a shame.
553
00:44:51,060 --> 00:44:53,360
But, without a doubt,
they were Oda officers.
554
00:44:54,140 --> 00:44:56,846
Reward men
of Takatsuki and the Saika.
555
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,760
We close the inspection.
556
00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:26,420
It was a shame
what happened to Ichirōza.
557
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,020
He died in my service...
558
00:45:31,860 --> 00:45:35,200
I heard that a warrior
almost naked killed him.
559
00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:39,095
But I fought
with an unusual ferocity.
560
00:45:39,380 --> 00:45:40,940
I was also careless.
561
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,320
It's scary to face
who fights desperately.
562
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,440
In the Ikkō revolt
from Nagashima?
563
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,860
You saw it with your own eyes.
564
00:45:56,980 --> 00:45:59,100
Under a hail of bullets from Oda,
565
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,420
the faithful of Ikkō,
without armor,
566
00:46:02,940 --> 00:46:03,750
practically naked,
567
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,976
they launched
against Oda's army.
568
00:46:06,380 --> 00:46:08,450
The strength of the attack was so much
569
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:11,382
that Nobunaga's troops
they retreated for a moment.
570
00:46:11,940 --> 00:46:18,080
Everyone screamed
who were going to Paradise.
571
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:32,000
I wanted to forget,
but I can't.
572
00:46:50,780 --> 00:46:53,192
- Was Nagamasa hit?
- It seems so.
573
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,710
I was injured and I was left
unconscious.
574
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,650
When I woke up,
I heard enemy soldiers
575
00:47:05,700 --> 00:47:09,960
saying, “Our general is dead.”
576
00:47:10,660 --> 00:47:15,090
You're saying we killed
General Nagamasa?
577
00:47:15,140 --> 00:47:16,020
Exactly.
578
00:47:18,340 --> 00:47:22,840
Nagamasa was young.
There were two young heads, right?
579
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:27,570
One was taken by Takatsuki;
the other, by the Saika.
580
00:47:27,620 --> 00:47:30,750
Who will have the merit?
Takatsuki or Saika?
581
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,050
A Saika sniper
Could you take a head?
582
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:36,050
Precisely because he's a shooter.
583
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:40,030
Can kill from afar, before
for Takatsuki's swordsmen to arrive.
584
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,450
He arrives. Silence.
585
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:45,500
This could get us into trouble.
586
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:55,260
My lord!
587
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,287
The head has changed appearance!
588
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,200
It's in that basket.
589
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:04,910
The young man's head?
590
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:05,740
Yes.
591
00:48:20,140 --> 00:48:22,240
This head is a very bad omen.
592
00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:25,053
What is happening?
593
00:48:31,220 --> 00:48:33,990
They say we take the head
by Ōtsu Nagamasa,
594
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,460
but now your face
changed appearance.
595
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:39,550
Will it be true?
596
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,900
Nonsense! We don't even know
if the head is Nagamasa's.
597
00:48:43,180 --> 00:48:46,910
They say the head taken
why Takayama changed appearance
598
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,650
because the warrior was killed
by a Christian who despises Buddha,
599
00:48:50,700 --> 00:48:52,880
and your soul finds no peace.
600
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,080
Nonsense. And you,
What do you think of this head?
601
00:48:58,540 --> 00:49:02,250
If she really changed,
It's very strange.
602
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:03,100
Strange?
603
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:05,900
Yes.
604
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,990
The general's head
Is it in that basket?
605
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,760
Yes. It's here
that we keep the head.
606
00:49:20,100 --> 00:49:22,150
So the rumors
they were true.
607
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,280
Shinhachiro,
count the heads of the night attack.
608
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,260
If I remember correctly, Takatsuki
and Saika brought four.
609
00:49:34,140 --> 00:49:35,580
Oh, there was one more.
610
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,572
That of Hori Yatarō,
that our lord killed.
611
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:41,400
I ask for forgiveness.
612
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:46,540
Yes. The changed head
is Hori Yatarō's.
613
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,864
I was surprised,
but I recognized it when I looked better.
614
00:49:50,820 --> 00:49:53,700
Someone put it in place
of the young general's head.
615
00:49:54,580 --> 00:49:58,750
But who would do that?
616
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,140
I don't know. To cause confusion?
617
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:05,880
Or would it have some other purpose?
618
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,800
It's very strange.
619
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,340
Yazaemon, drive
today's advice from me.
620
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:13,800
Yes.
621
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,750
What if Takatsuki and Saika...
622
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,800
discuss
about the swapped head?
623
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,250
Keep order.
624
00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:26,400
Without taking sides.
625
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:28,530
I have other matters.
626
00:50:28,580 --> 00:50:30,340
How to order.
627
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,080
Feel free.
628
00:52:58,980 --> 00:53:02,240
- It was delicious.
- It was a pleasure.
629
00:53:07,300 --> 00:53:08,660
How is Ukon?
630
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,360
I appreciate the concern.
631
00:53:13,940 --> 00:53:15,352
Even though he's my son...
632
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,630
Challenged our lord
in favor of Oda...
633
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,250
That fool shamed us.
634
00:53:21,300 --> 00:53:26,600
Oda threatened to burn down the church
if Ukon didn't hand over the castle.
635
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,450
You are also a Christian.
636
00:53:30,500 --> 00:53:32,720
You must understand what he feels.
637
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:34,280
Not at all.
638
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:36,800
As?
639
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:41,350
Be it Buddha or God
of foreigners,
640
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,460
a samurai prays
for the prosperity of your home.
641
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,160
Don't live to save
gods or churches.
642
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:51,320
I understand.
643
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:58,860
Lord Dario, as Takatsuki
took that general's head?
644
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:00,760
How to order.
645
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,460
I will tell you everything I saw and did.
646
00:54:34,540 --> 00:54:37,320
- How elegant.
- What did you say?
647
00:54:39,180 --> 00:54:41,592
The Saika have their own
shooting technique.
648
00:54:41,940 --> 00:54:46,320
There is a right stance
to load and aim.
649
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,140
My brother's
Magoichi was impeccable.
650
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,320
His posture reminded me of his.
651
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,605
That's what made me think about it.
652
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:24,120
But posture is not enough
to solve certain mysteries.
653
00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:27,340
Are you talking about the head?
654
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:33,920
Yes. It would be a punishment
divine against Christians?
655
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,200
No, my lord.
Buddha doesn't punish like that.
656
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,700
But you are a follower of Ikkō.
657
00:55:43,380 --> 00:55:45,400
His monks would not agree.
658
00:55:46,420 --> 00:55:51,120
I'm not a monk.
It disgusts me to involve Buddha in war.
659
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:56,460
“To advance is to go to paradise; to retreat,
to hell.” I hate fighting like this.
660
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,760
Are you laughing? Why?
661
00:56:03,380 --> 00:56:05,050
You unmasked me.
662
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:09,550
Do you know why I invited you?
for tea.
663
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:14,140
To find out who had the most merit:
Saika or Takatsuki.
664
00:56:14,540 --> 00:56:17,040
I used tea in the service of war.
665
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,540
It was an insult. I ask for forgiveness.
666
00:56:22,140 --> 00:56:25,700
I am the one who must ask for forgiveness.
667
00:56:26,860 --> 00:56:27,740
Magoroku...
668
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:34,490
Tell us how the Saika took
that general's head.
669
00:56:34,540 --> 00:56:39,160
I'll tell you everything.
670
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:43,700
Akioka.
671
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:45,920
A fire?
672
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:52,070
Yes. Four or five young people
They set fire to the church in the south.
673
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,220
How foolish!
674
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,260
Saika and Takatsuki
were not in conflict.
675
00:57:02,860 --> 00:57:05,270
There was no reason
for the two groups to fight.
676
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:06,700
Exactly.
677
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,850
Those fools took
party in someone else's fight...
678
00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:12,312
and set fire to the church.
679
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:14,500
What fools!
680
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,040
But I fear that many
believe the rumors.
681
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,380
We need to find out
the truth about the head.
682
00:57:29,620 --> 00:57:32,050
Don't talk to our lord like that.
683
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,460
Up there, he rules.
Down here, I order.
684
00:57:37,260 --> 00:57:39,680
You're just a prisoner.
685
00:57:42,260 --> 00:57:43,940
If you're still alive,
686
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,520
It's because I allow it.
687
00:58:14,980 --> 00:58:18,090
You have no idea
what awaits you...
688
00:58:18,140 --> 00:58:20,081
and still talking
with such boldness.
689
00:58:20,660 --> 00:58:21,360
What?
690
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:28,080
Want to know the real
Araki Murashige?
691
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,320
Not even your vassals
they know who he is.
692
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,900
But I know him very well.
693
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,450
Where did you come from and what are you doing here...
694
00:58:44,500 --> 00:58:46,580
and where you want to get to.
695
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,460
Don't you want to know?
696
00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:21,180
Are you crazy?
697
00:59:36,980 --> 00:59:38,900
Prepare to die, traitor!
698
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,720
It's not that hard to kill
a man inside a cell.
699
01:00:05,300 --> 01:00:09,140
Kanbei, what did you do?
700
01:00:10,260 --> 01:00:12,580
Did you encourage that man to kill me?
701
01:00:13,260 --> 01:00:15,960
Not at all, my lord.
702
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,540
It was his life that I wanted.
703
01:00:25,060 --> 01:00:29,295
In return for what you did to my leg,
I exchanged a few words with him.
704
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,640
That was it.
705
01:00:32,060 --> 01:00:34,860
Did you use me to kill him?
706
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,070
I couldn't do it myself.
707
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:38,820
Insolent!
708
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,190
I understand your anger,
but I had no choice.
709
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:44,840
I ask for forgiveness.
710
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,980
To redeem yourself, use your cunning
and solve this riddle.
711
01:00:56,260 --> 01:00:58,672
Find out which
of the heads is that of the general.
712
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,340
I want proof.
713
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:52,900
If you thought
better at what he did,
714
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,660
I would soon find the proof.
715
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:58,340
Like this?
716
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,120
If you haven't thought about it,
717
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:05,280
It's because another concern
occupies your mind.
718
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:06,760
Isn't it true?
719
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,640
As for who took the head,
720
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:13,301
it's very simple.
721
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:16,758
Mr. Murashige...
722
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,880
Why the night attack yielded
so many important heads?
723
01:02:22,180 --> 01:02:24,160
Why did Nagamasa let his guard down?
724
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:25,421
Did you let your guard down?
725
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,040
Exactly.
726
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:32,240
A general should not hide
out of fear of the enemy.
727
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:37,000
But take off the helmet before him,
even to observe the terrain,
728
01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:39,220
It's even more shameful.
729
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,500
Pure carelessness.
730
01:02:42,180 --> 01:02:42,880
Carelessness...
731
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:46,580
So that's it.
732
01:02:48,860 --> 01:02:52,100
I'm more worried
with what ails you.
733
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:53,894
The head is the least.
734
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,740
Beware of what this affliction can cause.
735
01:03:02,980 --> 01:03:05,860
We captured five
of the arsonists.
736
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:06,650
Excellent.
737
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:07,520
Good job.
738
01:03:08,140 --> 01:03:09,270
Let them serve as an example.
739
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:10,720
Yes.
740
01:03:12,460 --> 01:03:13,989
Let's get back to what matters.
741
01:03:14,820 --> 01:03:17,960
The mystery of the head
is resolved.
742
01:03:19,380 --> 01:03:21,851
None of you took
Nagamasa's head.
743
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,040
But Takatsuki's men,
under Takayama,
744
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:29,560
and those of Saika, under Magoroku,
745
01:03:30,220 --> 01:03:33,260
fought bravely
and took important heads.
746
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:36,253
Each group will receive
a Bizen sword.
747
01:03:38,100 --> 01:03:40,070
What decision is this?
748
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:41,490
I don't understand, my lord.
749
01:03:41,540 --> 01:03:46,780
Why do you think
Why did the attack work so well?
750
01:03:47,260 --> 01:03:49,540
Why do we take
Nagamasa's head?
751
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,820
Yes and no.
752
01:03:55,840 --> 01:04:00,340
From the beginning,
the enemy was without a commander.
753
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,400
Are you saying Nagamasa ran away?
754
01:04:05,100 --> 01:04:07,350
No. Nagamasa died.
That's right.
755
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,260
But no one took his head.
756
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:11,950
Like this?
757
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:16,040
What warrior would kill an enemy
without taking your head?
758
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:18,380
And truth.
759
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,780
But there are those who don't care about glory.
760
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:24,560
Like me.
761
01:04:25,580 --> 01:04:26,280
What?
762
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:31,520
The first young man that my arrow
reached was Nagamasa.
763
01:04:33,180 --> 01:04:37,960
He watched the castle alone,
without helmet. His recklessness killed him.
764
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,060
He was bold, but he let his guard down.
765
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:45,760
Listen everyone!
766
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:53,860
Boldness and reckless courage
do not always bring rewards.
767
01:04:54,740 --> 01:05:01,440
Sometimes you have to be a coward
and retreat. Don't forget that.
768
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:13,080
It's delicious.
769
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,600
Even the water looks sweet.
770
01:05:17,980 --> 01:05:19,686
I'm glad you liked it.
771
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:27,940
But I see that something
worries you, my lord.
772
01:05:32,420 --> 01:05:35,100
It's the message
that came attached to the arrow?
773
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,680
I can't hide
nothing from you.
774
01:05:42,340 --> 01:05:43,560
Ukita betrayed us.
775
01:05:45,940 --> 01:05:49,800
So my fears
were confirmed.
776
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,760
“Ukita and I are waiting for you
to hunt with hawks.”
777
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:57,860
That's what the letter said.
778
01:05:59,940 --> 01:06:01,780
Only I knew that.
779
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,300
Then the night attack...
780
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,780
served to divert attention
of the generals in that letter?
781
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:14,400
Exactly.
782
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,420
The land route is blocked.
783
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,500
Then the war
Will it reach the city?
784
01:06:37,460 --> 01:06:38,840
How scary.
785
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,500
Summer
—Torasaru—
786
01:06:56,180 --> 01:06:57,900
Ukita betrayed us.
787
01:07:02,380 --> 01:07:04,090
What did you say, my lord?
788
01:07:04,140 --> 01:07:05,750
I will repeat.
789
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,460
Ukita Naoie passed to Oda.
790
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,080
What do you advise me?
791
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,400
Then the Mōri won't come.
792
01:07:16,450 --> 01:07:18,590
There is no future
to this fortress.
793
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,300
Ukita doesn't matter.
794
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,350
Even without a road on land,
795
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,518
the Mōri will come by sea.
Don't doubt it.
796
01:07:24,740 --> 01:07:30,350
Mr. Noto, it is not a mistake
ignore what doesn't suit you?
797
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:31,600
An error?
798
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:33,750
A boy like you...
799
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,630
dare to mock
from a Settsu elder?
800
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:38,150
I'm not mocking.
801
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:39,600
I just tell the truth.
802
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:46,180
And I'm not a boy.
I'm Kitagawara Yosaku.
803
01:07:46,720 --> 01:08:00,300
Calm down, Yosaku. I agree with Noto.
Arioka stops Oda. Nobunaga cannot act.
804
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:17,080
Muhen, did you fulfill your mission?
Did you deliver the letter?
805
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,306
What did Akechi Mitsuhide say?
806
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,640
Mr. Akechi fears
for the future of the Araki house.
807
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:26,900
I understand.
808
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:36,980
You started
such a war.
809
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:44,070
Akechi doesn't understand why you
now he talks about surrendering.
810
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,040
And truth.
811
01:08:47,340 --> 01:08:50,130
Arioka won't go down so easily.
812
01:08:50,180 --> 01:08:53,200
But the objective
of war is to win.
813
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:57,760
For me, winning is joining the Mōri
and take Nobunaga's head.
814
01:08:58,140 --> 01:08:59,905
Not just defend the castle.
815
01:09:00,480 --> 01:09:03,120
Exactly. It needs to be now.
816
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:08,440
Hideyoshi is trapped in Harima,
facing the Mōri.
817
01:09:08,940 --> 01:09:10,940
Mitsuhide is busy in Tamba.
818
01:09:11,660 --> 01:09:14,131
Nobunaga cannot focus on Arioka.
819
01:09:16,940 --> 01:09:19,240
But now
that Ukita is with him,
820
01:09:20,260 --> 01:09:23,220
Nobunaga will soon return
all forces against us.
821
01:09:24,340 --> 01:09:28,520
Before that,
I will pretend to submit to him and retreat.
822
01:09:29,940 --> 01:09:31,764
Then I will think about how to win.
823
01:09:32,980 --> 01:09:34,686
There is another question, my lord.
824
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,020
It's hard to say...
825
01:09:40,740 --> 01:09:45,500
Mr. Akechi demands proof
that your surrender is sincere.
826
01:09:46,340 --> 01:09:49,080
A proof? What does he want?
827
01:09:52,060 --> 01:09:53,140
Torasaru.
828
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:56,860
Torasaru...
829
01:10:19,020 --> 01:10:19,720
Very well.
830
01:10:21,980 --> 01:10:23,215
Here is Torasaru.
831
01:10:24,540 --> 01:10:27,540
So this is the famous
pot of tea.
832
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:29,200
It's worth two thousand kan.
833
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,880
They say you buy
a castle with him.
834
01:10:34,980 --> 01:10:35,921
Do you want to examine it?
835
01:10:37,620 --> 01:10:38,680
I wouldn't dare.
836
01:10:44,260 --> 01:10:49,220
If I hand it over,
Mitsuhide will be cornered.
837
01:10:50,540 --> 01:10:53,600
Such a treasure
cannot be hidden.
838
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,170
They will say he took me
Torasaru...
839
01:10:56,220 --> 01:10:58,350
and if you do nothing,
you will lose your honor.
840
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,620
You will have no choice:
you will need to help me.
841
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:10,380
Muhen, will accept
this great mission?
842
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,780
I will do it
even if it costs me my life.
843
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:22,020
Until the gates open tomorrow,
stay in the hut to the south.
844
01:11:23,740 --> 01:11:25,920
Jūemon will take care
of the letter to Akechi.
845
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:27,640
How to order.
846
01:12:03,310 --> 01:12:05,410
My lord, are you there?
847
01:12:06,660 --> 01:12:07,620
Don't worry.
848
01:12:08,900 --> 01:12:09,620
Between.
849
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:24,494
Taking care of the parts?
850
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:31,360
I wasn't doing anything.
Just admiring.
851
01:12:33,700 --> 01:12:36,300
Can I look too?
852
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,447
So he gave up Torasaru.
853
01:12:55,340 --> 01:12:57,222
I realized he wasn't here.
854
01:12:57,580 --> 01:13:00,840
Someone wanted
that pot of tea.
855
01:13:01,260 --> 01:13:02,720
I understand.
856
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:04,700
All for the war.
857
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:11,640
Matsunaga Hisahide did not give up
from your Hiragumo kettle...
858
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:13,920
and Nobunaga destroyed it.
859
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:17,840
I won't make the same mistake.
860
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,280
Gather these treasures
to use them in war.
861
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,460
If you don't use them now,
When will I use it?
862
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,820
Now that I've lost Torasaru,
I miss him a lot.
863
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,850
A simple pot of tea
makes me suffer so much...
864
01:13:40,900 --> 01:13:44,140
So I, who send thousands
of soldiers to their death.
865
01:13:47,260 --> 01:13:49,025
You can regret all you want.
866
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,200
Don't tell my vassals.
867
01:13:57,260 --> 01:13:58,080
I won't tell.
868
01:14:00,140 --> 01:14:02,760
But you can laugh at me.
869
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:08,440
I won't laugh.
870
01:14:10,260 --> 01:14:14,340
In this world,
every attachment brings suffering.
871
01:14:16,540 --> 01:14:17,660
Laugh, please.
872
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,800
Even I get tired
of this era of wars.
873
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:41,300
When you opened
your heart to me...
874
01:14:42,820 --> 01:14:44,220
I was very happy.
875
01:15:00,440 --> 01:15:01,440
Stop!
876
01:15:02,260 --> 01:15:04,450
I will not tolerate this confusion!
877
01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:05,420
Come back!
878
01:15:05,940 --> 01:15:07,411
Whoever disobeys will die!
879
01:15:11,660 --> 01:15:12,954
Forgive me, my lord.
880
01:15:13,340 --> 01:15:14,150
Muhen...
881
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,230
and Akioka Shirōnosuke...
882
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,160
were found dead.
883
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:19,790
Akioka too?
884
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:24,820
A swordsman
like Akioka, dead like that?
885
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,740
Yosaku, what are you doing here?
886
01:15:37,660 --> 01:15:41,800
A sick person in my house
I wanted to hear Muhen recite a sutra.
887
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:45,030
I heard you were staying
here and I came to look for you.
888
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:49,560
When I entered, I found
Muhen fallen, already lifeless.
889
01:15:52,380 --> 01:15:55,260
Why hosted Muhen
in such a humble place?
890
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,590
What task did you entrust
to him, my lord?
891
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:58,700
How dare you?
892
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:03,840
I don't owe you explanations.
893
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:11,600
This way.
894
01:17:12,900 --> 01:17:15,220
You, go to Akioka.
895
01:17:15,740 --> 01:17:16,500
Yes.
896
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,080
Sorry for the delay.
897
01:17:33,820 --> 01:17:34,520
It's...
898
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,080
It's really Muhen.
899
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:42,600
Look for the secret letter.
900
01:17:42,650 --> 01:17:44,356
When you find it, keep it.
901
01:17:46,380 --> 01:17:47,150
One more thing.
902
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,000
I entrusted Torasaru to Muhen.
903
01:17:52,780 --> 01:17:53,750
That treasure?
904
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:54,950
It's not here.
905
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,980
The killer must have taken him.
906
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,560
As a precaution,
in case Muhen hid it,
907
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:02,633
search everywhere.
908
01:18:03,480 --> 01:18:06,380
The base is wide
and the color, yellowish.
909
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:08,600
Understood.
910
01:18:15,740 --> 01:18:17,700
Was Akioka attacked from behind?
911
01:18:18,820 --> 01:18:19,950
Even from behind,
912
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,660
Who could kill Akioka?
913
01:18:24,980 --> 01:18:25,650
Sukesaburō.
914
01:18:25,700 --> 01:18:29,570
Gather everyone who was
here tonight.
915
01:18:29,620 --> 01:18:31,560
Including Kitagawara Yosaku.
916
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:32,750
Yes.
917
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,000
Immediately.
918
01:18:41,820 --> 01:18:43,780
A man like Akioka...
919
01:19:00,980 --> 01:19:02,745
Torasaru was not found.
920
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:04,640
I understand.
921
01:19:09,440 --> 01:19:10,250
And the letter?
922
01:19:11,780 --> 01:19:14,760
It was sewn onto the collar
of Muhen's tunic.
923
01:19:15,580 --> 01:19:18,260
I delivered it at dusk.
924
01:19:19,940 --> 01:19:22,140
But the sewing
The collar was loose...
925
01:19:22,900 --> 01:19:25,724
and the seal of the letter
it was slightly out of place.
926
01:19:26,940 --> 01:19:29,360
Then someone read it.
927
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:30,864
Probably.
928
01:19:32,740 --> 01:19:33,440
Izumi...
929
01:19:34,260 --> 01:19:37,180
When I brought
Muhen's meal,
930
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,320
Did you see a wicker box in the room?
931
01:19:42,420 --> 01:19:43,980
Forgive me...
932
01:19:45,380 --> 01:19:46,740
I don't remember.
933
01:19:48,500 --> 01:19:50,910
Was Muhen alone?
934
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,360
I don't know either.
935
01:19:56,180 --> 01:20:00,040
But someone served him
before me.
936
01:20:00,900 --> 01:20:03,020
The temple servant must know.
937
01:20:04,340 --> 01:20:07,380
I heard that Muhen
would stay here...
938
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,890
and I went to buy
vegetables in the city.
939
01:20:09,940 --> 01:20:11,560
When I came back,
940
01:20:12,260 --> 01:20:15,180
It seemed to me that he was receiving a visitor.
941
01:20:16,700 --> 01:20:18,200
I prepared the meal...
942
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:23,620
and asked from the door:
“Do you need something?”
943
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,071
A stern voice replied:
944
01:20:26,820 --> 01:20:27,540
“No.”
945
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,160
“The visitor has already left.”
946
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:33,340
Continue.
947
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,900
Then I went looking
water in the garden...
948
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:46,840
and heard Muhen recite
Shingon sutras.
949
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,700
During this period of about an hour,
I saw him go to the latrine once.
950
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,640
Are you sure it was Muhen?
951
01:20:59,780 --> 01:21:00,480
Yes.
952
01:21:01,980 --> 01:21:03,840
What is this testimony for?
953
01:21:04,380 --> 01:21:06,800
It was the work of one man
from Oda, it's obvious.
954
01:21:07,620 --> 01:21:10,980
In that case,
why would you kill Muhen?
955
01:21:11,940 --> 01:21:14,420
And why Muhen
were you staying here?
956
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,100
That's what I would like to know.
957
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,070
- Then?
- I won't answer.
958
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:24,830
I can't accept this.
959
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,960
Over time, you will understand.
960
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,200
For now,
withdraw and wait.
961
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:33,840
It's very strange.
962
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,960
Why the killer
Didn't you take the secret letter?
963
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,470
Because it wasn't what he wanted.
964
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:41,450
That can only be it.
965
01:21:41,500 --> 01:21:43,340
So what did you want?
966
01:21:44,780 --> 01:21:49,170
Maybe I just wanted
steal Torasaru.
967
01:21:49,220 --> 01:21:49,950
It can't be.
968
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,120
A thief wouldn't open the collar
to search for a letter.
969
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,580
Well observed.
970
01:21:59,820 --> 01:22:01,950
There's something that doesn't fit.
971
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,360
Yes, it doesn't fit.
972
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:09,450
What there was?
973
01:22:09,500 --> 01:22:10,740
And the rest?
974
01:22:13,140 --> 01:22:14,787
I have nothing more to say.
975
01:22:15,540 --> 01:22:16,893
Has your cunning run out?
976
01:22:18,260 --> 01:22:19,520
I'm just a man.
977
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,344
I spend so much time in this cell...
978
01:22:22,500 --> 01:22:25,330
what thoughts
scattered ones come and go.
979
01:22:25,380 --> 01:22:27,968
I can barely think clearly.
It's shameful.
980
01:22:30,540 --> 01:22:31,680
I know very well...
981
01:22:33,060 --> 01:22:35,178
what clouds your mind
and torments him.
982
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,200
The life of his son, Shojumaru.
983
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,100
What a dedicated father.
984
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:55,335
I was prepared
to this destination.
985
01:22:56,020 --> 01:22:57,160
Ready for what?
986
01:22:59,060 --> 01:23:01,413
To cling
to the samurai code...
987
01:23:02,020 --> 01:23:05,120
and accept its consequences?
Was that what it was supposed to be?
988
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,900
Didn't think about changing
this destiny?
989
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,500
So, Kanbei?
990
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:29,000
Mr. Murashige,
grant me one last request.
991
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:31,400
Speak.
992
01:23:34,860 --> 01:23:39,800
Tell Oda what I did
seppuku in the cell, with honor.
993
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:53,530
So that your son one day
avenge him by killing me?
994
01:23:53,580 --> 01:24:02,580
No, my lord.
If Shojumaru is still alive,
995
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:10,010
I want Oda to recognize him
as my successor in the Kuroda house.
996
01:24:10,060 --> 01:24:12,531
Do you want to guarantee
the survival of your home?
997
01:24:13,700 --> 01:24:14,780
Yes.
998
01:24:15,380 --> 01:24:18,220
Is this worth more than your life?
999
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:20,860
Yes, my lord.
1000
01:24:24,580 --> 01:24:29,400
He is well. I will say
that Kuroda Kanbei died.
1001
01:24:35,780 --> 01:24:37,150
Thank you very much.
1002
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,940
- What there was?
- An intruder, my lord.
1003
01:24:48,180 --> 01:24:50,004
An intruder entered the fortress?
1004
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:52,409
Must be a spy for Oda.
1005
01:24:52,820 --> 01:24:55,340
What did you come to discover?
Tell everything.
1006
01:24:56,020 --> 01:24:56,720
What a joke.
1007
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,854
A traitorous servant of Ikeda speaking
like a great general.
1008
01:25:02,340 --> 01:25:03,040
You...
1009
01:25:04,020 --> 01:25:05,314
Is it Zensuke from Kuroda?
1010
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:10,400
The Lord of Settsu knows
my name? What a surprise.
1011
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:12,700
Zensuke.
1012
01:25:13,500 --> 01:25:15,450
Why did you enter
hidden in the castle?
1013
01:25:15,500 --> 01:25:18,147
I don't know that the Kurodas
participate in the siege.
1014
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,560
Why? Isn't it obvious?
1015
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:26,220
Came to rescue Kanbei.
1016
01:25:28,580 --> 01:25:32,230
Mr. Murashige,
Does my lord still live?
1017
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,140
I don't owe you explanations.
1018
01:25:34,940 --> 01:25:38,220
So he died?
1019
01:25:39,060 --> 01:25:41,500
He died. He killed himself in his cell.
1020
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:46,790
I arrived too late.
1021
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:47,899
Kanbei is dead.
1022
01:25:49,060 --> 01:25:51,360
May your son
take over the Kuroda house.
1023
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,500
It's late. Too late!
1024
01:25:55,140 --> 01:25:55,840
What?
1025
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:56,770
If it were before...
1026
01:25:56,820 --> 01:25:59,230
If my lord's head
had returned,
1027
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,515
the Kuroda house maybe
had salvation.
1028
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,941
Nobunaga thought that Kanbei
had joined forces with you.
1029
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:07,310
Miserable!
1030
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,595
Who would believe that you
spared Kanbei to keep him imprisoned?
1031
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:12,967
Didn't you know, Mr. Murashige?
1032
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:16,550
Nobunaga killed his only son
by Kuroda Kanbei, Shojumaru.
1033
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,050
Not even a child hostage...
1034
01:26:18,100 --> 01:26:19,700
Nobunaga spares no one!
1035
01:26:20,340 --> 01:26:21,928
The Kuroda house is finished!
1036
01:26:24,100 --> 01:26:24,940
Rascal!
1037
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,560
That's none of my business.
1038
01:26:30,220 --> 01:26:33,300
Nobunaga kills hostages.
This is nothing new.
1039
01:26:33,940 --> 01:26:34,950
If it distresses you,
1040
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,460
should have taken
measures beforehand.
1041
01:26:38,500 --> 01:26:39,700
It's just a worm.
1042
01:26:39,750 --> 01:26:40,950
It's not worth killing him.
1043
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,020
Kick him out of the castle.
1044
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:44,750
If you resist,
1045
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,624
kill him and throw him out.
1046
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:47,550
Yes!
1047
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:49,080
Get up!
1048
01:27:02,100 --> 01:27:04,080
It's too late.
1049
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:06,510
Do you blame me?
1050
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:09,640
No, my lord. Not Nobunaga.
1051
01:27:11,260 --> 01:27:12,750
Kill hostages...
1052
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,950
It is common in this era of wars.
1053
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,020
Zensuke said that the house
Kuroda is finished.
1054
01:27:19,660 --> 01:27:22,280
But you're still alive.
1055
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:26,940
What do you say, Kanbei?
1056
01:27:31,180 --> 01:27:34,600
Nobunaga doesn't care
with the Kuroda house.
1057
01:27:35,480 --> 01:27:37,280
You and Shojumaru...
1058
01:27:37,940 --> 01:27:40,175
they would only live
as long as they were useful to you.
1059
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,386
It is the fate of the Kurodas
as long as they serve Oda.
1060
01:27:44,140 --> 01:27:47,680
Now you are free
of his domain.
1061
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:57,060
Abandon Oda and the Kurodas.
Join me.
1062
01:28:00,580 --> 01:28:01,860
Got it, my lord.
1063
01:28:03,820 --> 01:28:04,520
But I...
1064
01:28:05,020 --> 01:28:08,940
I will not serve Oda or Arioka.
1065
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:15,080
I started to admire
you as a person.
1066
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,540
With all my strength,
1067
01:28:19,260 --> 01:28:21,340
I want to serve you.
1068
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:25,120
And truth?
1069
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:28,781
I won't go back
in my word.
1070
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:43,140
Oda's troops neither attack nor retreat.
What is he thinking?
1071
01:29:44,140 --> 01:29:45,420
Kyūzaemon.
1072
01:29:46,340 --> 01:29:51,180
Do you know that Kuroda Kanbei
is trapped in the dungeon.
1073
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,240
I want to get him out of the cell.
1074
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:57,720
For what, my lord?
1075
01:29:57,900 --> 01:30:02,160
Will participate in the council.
If necessary, we will hide your name.
1076
01:30:05,440 --> 01:30:07,480
This won't be good for Settsu.
1077
01:30:08,380 --> 01:30:09,200
Why?
1078
01:30:09,940 --> 01:30:14,560
The Kurodas are from Harima,
Settsu's old enemy.
1079
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,860
Just there being a man
from Harima in Arioka,
1080
01:30:19,220 --> 01:30:22,850
the castle will be divided between whoever
accepts it and whoever rejects it.
1081
01:30:22,900 --> 01:30:24,959
This will make it difficult
the fight against Oda.
1082
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:26,100
I understand.
1083
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,311
Settsu's men
Don't accept a Kuroda?
1084
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,980
Even in this crisis,
does Settsu's honor come first?
1085
01:30:38,100 --> 01:30:39,240
And truth.
1086
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:11,980
I'll go in.
1087
01:31:39,300 --> 01:31:41,660
Who to trust?
And to what extent?
1088
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,424
They said that a man
of Harima would not be accepted.
1089
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,120
I could kill
who told me that.
1090
01:32:20,340 --> 01:32:23,360
But I wouldn't be left
a single ally in this castle.
1091
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:25,699
Forgive me, Kanbei.
1092
01:32:28,380 --> 01:32:29,439
It was to be expected.
1093
01:32:30,260 --> 01:32:32,672
And if you adopted another
name and another face...
1094
01:32:32,740 --> 01:32:34,910
and was a rōnin
unknown on the board?
1095
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:36,120
Are you kidding?
1096
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:38,471
Do you think it wouldn't work?
1097
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:43,880
I can ask a question?
1098
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:50,120
Why do so many come
times to this dungeon?
1099
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:52,820
What?
1100
01:32:53,140 --> 01:32:55,140
Always alone,
no companions.
1101
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,360
I'll tell you why.
1102
01:32:59,100 --> 01:33:03,730
Come and discuss the course of the war.
1103
01:33:03,780 --> 01:33:04,550
How absurd.
1104
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:10,060
I just invited him to the council
because I feel sorry for you.
1105
01:33:11,380 --> 01:33:14,040
I don't come here
to discuss the war.
1106
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:15,100
Oh, no?
1107
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,620
Maybe it hasn't
more to talk to.
1108
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:22,450
When I served Oda,
1109
01:33:22,500 --> 01:33:25,460
should feel satisfied,
Mr. Murashige.
1110
01:33:26,180 --> 01:33:28,750
Hashiba Hideyoshi.
Shibata Katsuie.
1111
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:30,020
Akechi Mitsuhide.
1112
01:33:31,100 --> 01:33:32,800
With warriors of this caliber,
1113
01:33:32,850 --> 01:33:37,240
at the council or at the tea ceremony,
conversations should be fruitful.
1114
01:33:38,140 --> 01:33:39,760
But here, in Arioka,
1115
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,200
no one can argue
war with you.
1116
01:33:44,620 --> 01:33:47,200
No one is capable
to understand it.
1117
01:33:47,250 --> 01:33:48,440
Nobody but me.
1118
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:52,340
So come here,
Mr. Murashige.
1119
01:33:56,180 --> 01:33:59,004
A commander does not need
have someone to talk to.
1120
01:33:59,780 --> 01:34:04,400
Just let your men
obey. Nothing more.
1121
01:34:08,340 --> 01:34:12,480
Why do your vassals
more reliable,
1122
01:34:13,220 --> 01:34:15,700
seeing Arioka on the verge of falling,
1123
01:34:16,300 --> 01:34:18,050
keep repeating
the same bravado:
1124
01:34:18,100 --> 01:34:21,250
“It’s enough for the Mōri to come”?
1125
01:34:21,300 --> 01:34:23,560
Watch your language, Kanbei!
1126
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:32,150
This war has no future.
1127
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,410
You know that
better than anyone.
1128
01:34:34,460 --> 01:34:36,400
Before Oda attacks,
1129
01:34:36,450 --> 01:34:38,332
He must have prepared some way out.
1130
01:34:38,940 --> 01:34:40,300
But from this plane,
1131
01:34:40,350 --> 01:34:42,780
your vassals
They don't know anything, right?
1132
01:34:50,260 --> 01:34:53,760
Everyone insists:
“We can still win.”
1133
01:34:54,820 --> 01:34:58,850
No one wonders
what you want.
1134
01:34:58,900 --> 01:35:00,260
Do you know why?
1135
01:35:04,020 --> 01:35:06,432
Because he was born in Tamba,
Mr. Murashige.
1136
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,860
He is a stranger on this earth.
1137
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:17,300
Already your vassals have roots
in Settsu for generations.
1138
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,130
If Arioka surrenders to Oda,
1139
01:35:20,180 --> 01:35:22,490
only you will have
of committing seppuku.
1140
01:35:22,540 --> 01:35:25,658
Just let others
submit to Oda to survive.
1141
01:35:25,980 --> 01:35:29,260
How do you have this way out?
They don't even consider surrendering.
1142
01:35:29,780 --> 01:35:32,230
You can shout:
“We will fight to the end!”
1143
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:36,050
But you need to fight
and win to survive.
1144
01:35:36,100 --> 01:35:37,250
It is not?
1145
01:35:37,300 --> 01:35:39,100
It is the fate of a commander.
1146
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:44,000
It is the law of this age.
1147
01:35:44,440 --> 01:35:48,220
So I can consider it
like Nobunaga?
1148
01:35:50,940 --> 01:35:52,120
I can, can't I?
1149
01:35:52,460 --> 01:35:53,340
You insolent!
1150
01:35:56,500 --> 01:35:59,340
Save that hate for Nobunaga.
1151
01:36:03,580 --> 01:36:06,540
As always, Mr. Murashige,
I'm impressed.
1152
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:12,760
You still haven't recovered
of the loss of his son.
1153
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,184
Only nonsense comes to mind.
1154
01:36:19,460 --> 01:36:21,630
Since we are
talking about nonsense,
1155
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,490
I can present a solution...
1156
01:36:23,540 --> 01:36:26,100
for the case you told me about?
1157
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:27,340
Speak.
1158
01:36:27,780 --> 01:36:28,480
Well...
1159
01:36:30,500 --> 01:36:32,940
A man from Oda killed the monk...
1160
01:36:33,260 --> 01:36:35,672
and stole the treasure.
That's what everyone thinks.
1161
01:36:36,740 --> 01:36:38,380
Inside and outside,
1162
01:36:39,020 --> 01:36:40,020
cause and effect,
1163
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:41,700
the apparent and the hidden,
1164
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:44,744
before and after,
the necessary and the unnecessary...
1165
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,760
What if everything was reversed?
1166
01:36:50,500 --> 01:36:52,350
What disappeared from the cabin...
1167
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:53,980
It's your clue.
1168
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:57,940
Watch the temple servant.
1169
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:08,360
Mr. Noto, stop!
These are orders from our lord.
1170
01:37:10,340 --> 01:37:11,350
Sir's orders?
1171
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,720
Get out of the way, you scoundrels!
1172
01:37:18,460 --> 01:37:20,250
Do you know who you are blocking?
1173
01:37:20,300 --> 01:37:22,350
I'm Noto, from the old days
Settsu families!
1174
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,080
How insolence!
1175
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:26,776
I note, the lay monk!
1176
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,501
You are accused of killing Muhen
and Akioka Shirōnosuke.
1177
01:37:32,940 --> 01:37:34,080
You can't deny it!
1178
01:37:34,620 --> 01:37:35,750
What are you saying?
1179
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:37,040
So have you heard?
1180
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:39,050
Kitagawara Yosaku...
1181
01:37:39,100 --> 01:37:40,800
They say he killed Muhen.
1182
01:37:41,180 --> 01:37:43,180
It was you who
spread this rumor.
1183
01:37:44,660 --> 01:37:46,330
It wasn't me.
1184
01:37:46,380 --> 01:37:48,050
So explain yourself.
1185
01:37:48,100 --> 01:37:49,320
Let's talk there.
1186
01:38:05,500 --> 01:38:07,030
If you have something to say, say it.
1187
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:09,190
How unfair...
I'm speechless.
1188
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:10,700
Then I will speak.
1189
01:38:12,540 --> 01:38:14,422
Akioka was attacked from behind.
1190
01:38:15,480 --> 01:38:17,304
Such a skilled swordsman...
1191
01:38:17,820 --> 01:38:21,232
Only by surprise could they kill him
before he drew his sword.
1192
01:38:21,900 --> 01:38:25,240
The intruder was carrying a basket
on his back and a stick.
1193
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:30,230
Akioka mistook him for Muhen
and let his guard down.
1194
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:32,130
No, my lord.
This doesn't make sense.
1195
01:38:32,180 --> 01:38:33,950
Things don't fit together.
1196
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:38,300
And if the order
of events was different?
1197
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:39,590
Other?
1198
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,340
The intruder has arrived
before Akioka.
1199
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:50,910
Killed Muhen before the servant arrived
and, disguised as Muhen, attacked Akioka.
1200
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:57,640
But from what I know,
the temple servant spoke to Muhen.
1201
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:02,840
Yes. Then he heard Muhen
recite a Shingon sutra.
1202
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:08,080
And he saw him going to the latrine.
1203
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,380
It's a difficult test
to contest.
1204
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:13,640
Isn't that enough?
1205
01:39:14,700 --> 01:39:17,480
It's a waste of time
listen to this nonsense.
1206
01:39:18,180 --> 01:39:21,780
Oda's spy
remains at large.
1207
01:39:22,340 --> 01:39:24,600
Is this what you want to hide from everyone?
1208
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,500
So I'll explain.
1209
01:39:30,620 --> 01:39:32,460
Everyone listen carefully.
1210
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:39,720
Kyūzaemon, you said
that the servant heard a Shingon sutra.
1211
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,340
But the servant
he is a follower of Ikkō.
1212
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:46,520
Don't know
Shingon teachings.
1213
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:49,580
There is no
something reversed there?
1214
01:39:50,380 --> 01:39:51,080
Inverted?
1215
01:39:51,420 --> 01:39:52,260
Now I understand.
1216
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,360
The fake Muhen pretended
recite a sutra.
1217
01:39:56,780 --> 01:39:59,898
The servant only knew Ikkō
and thought it was Shingon.
1218
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:02,390
took the doctrine
opened by secret.
1219
01:40:02,440 --> 01:40:03,330
Exactly.
1220
01:40:03,380 --> 01:40:06,440
But what does this
Does it have to do with Noto?
1221
01:40:07,580 --> 01:40:13,630
The intruder arrived shortly after leaving
of Ikeda Izumi and killed Muhen.
1222
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,739
But the servant returned
soon afterwards.
1223
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:20,800
The intruder imitated Muhen's voice
and pretended to recite a sutra.
1224
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:25,760
Shortly afterwards,
went out to look around.
1225
01:40:26,500 --> 01:40:28,200
Unfortunately, the servant saw him,
1226
01:40:28,250 --> 01:40:30,280
and the intruder pretended
who went to the latrine.
1227
01:40:31,060 --> 01:40:32,472
It must have been at that time
1228
01:40:33,180 --> 01:40:35,050
who realized
that Akioka and the others
1229
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:36,982
They watched the surroundings of the hut.
1230
01:40:39,260 --> 01:40:42,000
He waited for the servant to leave,
1231
01:40:42,740 --> 01:40:45,564
put the basket on your back
and pretended to be Muhen.
1232
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:48,955
I just needed the basket
for the disguise.
1233
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:51,748
What is necessary
and the unnecessary were reversed.
1234
01:40:52,580 --> 01:40:55,060
Then he took Akioka
by surprise and killed him.
1235
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,540
Wasn't that it, Noto?
1236
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:06,340
No one would believe
in these nonsense. Nobody!
1237
01:41:07,140 --> 01:41:10,670
There are many men in this castle
who could pass as Muhen.
1238
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,500
You say I impersonated Muhen?
1239
01:41:13,550 --> 01:41:14,560
Who saw me?
1240
01:41:16,460 --> 01:41:18,030
Nobody saw or heard anything.
1241
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:18,800
You...
1242
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,250
I feared the only man
who had seen him.
1243
01:41:24,300 --> 01:41:26,220
I wanted to kill him.
1244
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:29,030
And when I found out he was gone,
1245
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:32,190
He must have been very relieved.
1246
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,260
Yes, my lord.
1247
01:41:37,420 --> 01:41:39,420
It can't be...
The temple servant?
1248
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:41,560
Tell me what you saw.
1249
01:41:42,220 --> 01:41:43,514
Yes, my lord. I...
1250
01:41:43,740 --> 01:41:45,550
I saw it with my own eyes.
1251
01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:48,620
Muhen was going to the latrine.
1252
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:51,000
I remember his face well.
1253
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:55,890
I had never seen the face
of Muhen before that day.
1254
01:41:55,940 --> 01:41:57,058
So look there.
1255
01:42:03,580 --> 01:42:05,920
Muhen! It's alive...
1256
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,240
There is no doubt. It's Muhen!
1257
01:42:12,580 --> 01:42:13,521
So tell me...
1258
01:42:14,700 --> 01:42:15,920
Why did you kill Muhen?
1259
01:42:17,440 --> 01:42:21,280
Why did you take so much risk?
to read my secret letter?
1260
01:42:22,100 --> 01:42:25,240
What did you think
What was written on it?
1261
01:42:29,100 --> 01:42:30,159
Aren't you going to respond?
1262
01:42:31,300 --> 01:42:36,760
So I answer:
you serve Oda!
1263
01:42:37,130 --> 01:42:37,830
Oda...!
1264
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,101
I would die of fear
to be discovered.
1265
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:46,990
Upon learning of the mission
Muhen's secret,
1266
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:49,511
didn't hold back
and committed this crime.
1267
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:53,440
I notice.
1268
01:42:55,940 --> 01:42:57,881
Understand: in this
Arioka castle,
1269
01:42:58,480 --> 01:43:00,892
or rather,
throughout Settsu Province,
1270
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,910
nothing escapes my eyes.
1271
01:43:07,900 --> 01:43:09,600
Damn you, Murashige!
1272
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:12,560
How dare you humiliate me
in front of everyone?
1273
01:43:23,460 --> 01:43:24,550
You!
1274
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:25,900
You!
1275
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:27,420
You!
1276
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,080
You!
1277
01:43:34,780 --> 01:43:36,898
Put yourself in your place,
Ikeda dog!
1278
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:40,050
Without the support of the old
Settsu families,
1279
01:43:40,100 --> 01:43:42,276
you would just be a samurai
from the inside!
1280
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,450
You say I'm Oda's ally?
1281
01:43:45,500 --> 01:43:48,380
If you're going to talk about it,
I also know something!
1282
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:50,980
I saw the secret letter!
1283
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:53,120
Listen everyone!
1284
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:54,180
Murashige...
1285
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:57,580
What happened?
1286
01:44:11,460 --> 01:44:13,578
How horrible...
It was a divine punishment!
1287
01:44:33,820 --> 01:44:36,780
What? Was Noto struck by lightning?
1288
01:44:49,480 --> 01:44:51,780
- It found?
- Here it is.
1289
01:44:51,830 --> 01:44:53,400
Torasaru tea pot
1290
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:03,520
It finally came back to me.
1291
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,390
The basket was left in a corner
from the latrine of Noto's residence.
1292
01:45:07,440 --> 01:45:08,500
And inside it...
1293
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:12,360
The thief didn't even know
the value of it.
1294
01:45:15,580 --> 01:45:17,210
I'll send it to Mitsuhide now.
1295
01:45:17,260 --> 01:45:18,680
Prepare everything.
1296
01:45:20,980 --> 01:45:21,680
My lord.
1297
01:45:24,900 --> 01:45:26,730
I have news.
1298
01:45:26,780 --> 01:45:27,480
What it was?
1299
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:30,350
Mr. Akechi Mitsuhide
1300
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:33,020
seems to have gone
talk to Nobunaga.
1301
01:45:33,580 --> 01:45:36,300
And he said the following:
1302
01:45:37,900 --> 01:45:41,080
"I don't want any
famous treasure.
1303
01:45:41,420 --> 01:45:42,361
Everything I want
1304
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:45,820
is to be loyal to my lord."
1305
01:45:46,440 --> 01:45:47,990
Don't you want Torasaru anymore?
1306
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:49,380
I don't think so.
1307
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:55,460
Mitsuhide got ahead of himself
so as not to arouse suspicion.
1308
01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:57,700
Even so...
1309
01:45:57,840 --> 01:45:59,970
Maybe there's still time.
1310
01:46:00,020 --> 01:46:02,700
Yes, we have to act
while there is time.
1311
01:46:06,660 --> 01:46:07,380
Enough.
1312
01:46:08,260 --> 01:46:09,460
Enough.
1313
01:46:12,060 --> 01:46:13,140
That's enough.
1314
01:46:30,420 --> 01:46:32,714
I'm glad Torasaru
be safe.
1315
01:46:36,500 --> 01:46:42,140
A great treasure only shines
in the hands of those who know how to appreciate it.
1316
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:45,840
Undoubtedly.
1317
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:14,140
You will use it
to finance the war?
1318
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:19,520
No. I will never part with it again.
1319
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:25,020
No matter how great the need.
1320
01:47:26,060 --> 01:47:28,340
Even with a reputation for being a fool.
1321
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:29,706
It doesn't matter.
1322
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,660
I will do whatever I want.
1323
01:47:35,440 --> 01:47:37,900
Do you agree, Chiyoho?
1324
01:47:40,780 --> 01:47:43,700
Yes, my lord. How to order.
1325
01:47:53,700 --> 01:47:58,100
Autumn
— Divine punishment —
1326
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:01,873
Here I am, my lord.
1327
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:07,260
Everything is overgrown.
1328
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:10,850
I will send the pages
do the cleaning.
1329
01:48:10,900 --> 01:48:12,959
The enemy could
hide here.
1330
01:48:13,540 --> 01:48:15,420
There is no unity in this castle.
1331
01:48:27,340 --> 01:48:28,340
A musket ball.
1332
01:48:28,980 --> 01:48:32,770
If we don't solve this riddle,
we will be lost.
1333
01:48:32,820 --> 01:48:36,930
Remember when I notice
been struck by lightning?
1334
01:48:36,980 --> 01:48:38,610
Are you talking about that incident?
1335
01:48:38,660 --> 01:48:41,920
Yes. Just before the lightning struck,
1336
01:48:42,460 --> 01:48:43,950
A bang sounded, and Noto fell.
1337
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:46,250
The lightning came soon after.
1338
01:48:46,300 --> 01:48:47,476
Yes, that was it.
1339
01:48:47,860 --> 01:48:50,200
I examined the body
de Noto immediately.
1340
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:53,420
And I got this off his chest.
1341
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:57,110
Someone shot Noto
with a musket.
1342
01:48:57,160 --> 01:49:01,280
The shooter could not
predict the radius.
1343
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:04,610
But I wanted to shut Noto up.
There is no doubt about that.
1344
01:49:04,660 --> 01:49:07,850
So it was someone
in the service of Oda?
1345
01:49:07,900 --> 01:49:12,060
I don't know. But there is one thing...
1346
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:17,530
You know what I wrote to Mitsuhide.
1347
01:49:17,580 --> 01:49:18,280
Yes.
1348
01:49:19,350 --> 01:49:20,250
That...
1349
01:49:20,500 --> 01:49:22,120
Arioka's surrender.
1350
01:49:22,660 --> 01:49:25,189
I was going to announce this
to everyone at that moment.
1351
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:30,325
But, before I could speak,
and before Noto opened his mouth,
1352
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:32,340
the shot was heard.
1353
01:49:33,180 --> 01:49:35,480
Would it be a warning to you?
1354
01:49:37,380 --> 01:49:39,460
If I had
spoken before Noto,
1355
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:42,500
the bullet could have hit me.
1356
01:49:43,480 --> 01:49:44,700
It's a serious matter.
1357
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:50,020
I'll find out who
shot Noto.
1358
01:49:50,780 --> 01:49:53,660
Who planned
everything is between us.
1359
01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:56,450
But what is your true goal?
1360
01:49:56,500 --> 01:49:58,720
Find out everything you can.
1361
01:50:00,740 --> 01:50:03,050
There is a lack of men and muskets.
1362
01:50:03,100 --> 01:50:09,180
Our priority is to outline
a plan and gain allies.
1363
01:50:11,860 --> 01:50:15,030
Honganji resists
to Oda's attacks
1364
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:17,360
nine years ago.
1365
01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:21,320
We must also resist
1366
01:50:21,740 --> 01:50:24,620
until the winds
change, don't you think?
1367
01:50:26,780 --> 01:50:27,980
They already forgot
1368
01:50:29,780 --> 01:50:34,950
of our lord's plan: to defeat
Nobunaga in Arioka with the Mōri?
1369
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:35,720
My lord...
1370
01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:44,030
Allow me to speak.
1371
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:48,630
We must deliver
Arioka without delay.
1372
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:52,670
Maybe Nobunaga will still spare us.
1373
01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:54,630
For now, let's submit to Oda
1374
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:57,130
and wait for a good opportunity.
1375
01:50:57,180 --> 01:50:58,460
What do you think?
1376
01:51:00,060 --> 01:51:02,420
Sounds like a good idea.
1377
01:51:03,180 --> 01:51:04,570
But...
1378
01:51:04,620 --> 01:51:07,670
A thoughtless surrender
it only favors the enemy.
1379
01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:11,340
Who will talk to Nobunaga?
When and how?
1380
01:51:13,020 --> 01:51:14,850
I'll talk to Oda myself.
1381
01:51:14,900 --> 01:51:17,200
I will ask you gentlemen
Akechi and Shibata
1382
01:51:18,440 --> 01:51:21,840
that spare the people of the castle
and your life, my lord.
1383
01:51:24,060 --> 01:51:28,240
I have good vassals.
That makes me happy.
1384
01:51:31,340 --> 01:51:32,281
Yes, my lord.
1385
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,920
Chiyoho, what happened?
1386
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:16,560
The field... A sea of blood...
1387
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:22,620
I clean, clean...
Why don't you leave?
1388
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:24,440
Calm down.
1389
01:52:27,340 --> 01:52:29,180
This is not a battlefield.
1390
01:52:34,220 --> 01:52:38,770
Where is Buddha?
1391
01:52:38,820 --> 01:52:40,280
It's here.
1392
01:52:44,980 --> 01:52:46,500
Look at the painting.
1393
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:24,520
There too... And there...
1394
01:53:27,060 --> 01:53:29,980
So many people dying...
1395
01:53:49,500 --> 01:53:51,200
What a shame...
1396
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:53,460
Don't worry.
1397
01:54:13,380 --> 01:54:21,980
I hope my delusions
Don't get in the way of your war plans.
1398
01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:39,090
I bring news, my lord.
1399
01:54:39,140 --> 01:54:44,540
That day, only armed guards
they took muskets to the tower garden.
1400
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:46,734
What about Saika's men?
1401
01:54:46,940 --> 01:54:48,940
None of them were on duty.
1402
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:52,910
Where did the shot come from
Who hit Noto?
1403
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:54,360
Do you have any ideas?
1404
01:54:55,380 --> 01:54:56,321
No, my lord.
1405
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:00,929
Considering the height
from the wall where Noto fell
1406
01:55:01,540 --> 01:55:03,760
and the range of a musket,
1407
01:55:04,540 --> 01:55:07,893
three positions remain: the pine,
the second floor of the tower
1408
01:55:08,620 --> 01:55:11,100
and the roof of the residence.
1409
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:13,680
The most likely
1410
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:16,600
is the roof of the residence.
1411
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:17,900
Why?
1412
01:55:18,720 --> 01:55:23,560
From the second floor, the angle
It's too sharp to aim.
1413
01:55:25,340 --> 01:55:27,960
The pine tree has the ideal height,
1414
01:55:28,300 --> 01:55:30,712
but it would be impossible
escape without being seen.
1415
01:55:31,380 --> 01:55:32,439
Have you checked this?
1416
01:55:32,860 --> 01:55:33,860
Yes, my lord.
1417
01:55:35,660 --> 01:55:38,500
Good job, Jūemon.
1418
01:55:44,180 --> 01:55:48,160
But who is conspiring
against Mr. Murashige?
1419
01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:50,370
I can't imagine that.
1420
01:55:50,420 --> 01:55:54,380
I understand. Even you can't
solve this riddle?
1421
01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:56,600
Drink some.
1422
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:08,980
How it heats up...
1423
01:56:11,940 --> 01:56:16,960
Destiny takes turns. I expelled Ikeda
Katsumasa to take this castle.
1424
01:56:17,860 --> 01:56:20,700
Now I will be deposed
in the same way.
1425
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:26,210
Want to hand over the castle
before that happens?
1426
01:56:26,260 --> 01:56:28,789
If it were that easy,
I wouldn't be suffering.
1427
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:33,240
I know well what torments you,
Mr. Murashige.
1428
01:56:34,780 --> 01:56:35,760
And what would it be?
1429
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:38,110
Save everyone's lives.
1430
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:38,850
Of course...
1431
01:56:38,900 --> 01:56:41,429
Including mine,
which is also at risk.
1432
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:43,835
I could kill you
at any time.
1433
01:56:45,020 --> 01:56:48,100
But I keep it alive
useful men.
1434
01:56:49,180 --> 01:56:50,460
That's all.
1435
01:56:53,220 --> 01:56:54,660
It's not quite like that.
1436
01:56:57,040 --> 01:56:57,800
As?
1437
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:05,060
Nobunaga kills. Not Murashige.
1438
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:09,390
I wanted everyone to know that.
It was his pride.
1439
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:11,460
Isn't it true?
1440
01:57:26,940 --> 01:57:31,240
My lord,
the maids are outside.
1441
01:57:33,180 --> 01:57:37,660
They left the castle
no license to have fun.
1442
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,882
What would you do with them, Murashige?
1443
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:46,180
I would scold them severely
and send them away.
1444
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:47,986
That would not serve as an example.
1445
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:52,840
The monks say that killing
without mercy attracts the wrath of Heaven.
1446
01:57:53,460 --> 01:57:55,120
Will it be true?
1447
01:57:57,560 --> 01:58:01,880
Maybe there is a lesson
behind these words.
1448
01:58:06,300 --> 01:58:08,200
If there's something behind it, I want to see it.
1449
01:58:09,020 --> 01:58:10,255
What trick is this?
1450
01:58:14,940 --> 01:58:18,420
Can you see some
something in there?
1451
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:29,760
Try it too.
1452
01:58:59,640 --> 01:59:00,600
What do you see?
1453
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:03,420
Tell in detail what you saw.
1454
01:59:07,740 --> 01:59:12,880
For a samurai in times of war,
It's much harder not to kill.
1455
01:59:14,700 --> 01:59:15,880
What do you know?
1456
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:22,720
Never thought about reversing
the relationship between lord and vassal.
1457
01:59:25,020 --> 01:59:27,040
I talked too much.
1458
01:59:27,780 --> 01:59:30,140
I would deliver
the castle right now.
1459
01:59:31,340 --> 01:59:37,480
But first I need to find out
who shot Noto.
1460
01:59:39,100 --> 01:59:40,440
For what?
1461
01:59:41,140 --> 01:59:43,340
To hand it over to Nobunaga.
1462
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:47,541
I don't know what the shooter intends.
1463
01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:52,420
But he killed Noto,
who was an ally of Oda.
1464
01:59:53,620 --> 01:59:55,680
I will take the killer's head
1465
01:59:56,580 --> 01:59:58,521
to negotiate
peace with Nobunaga.
1466
01:59:58,840 --> 01:59:59,900
That's the goal.
1467
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:05,620
A surrender
without bloodshed.
1468
02:00:07,020 --> 02:00:07,720
Now...
1469
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:11,329
Now I understand, my lord.
1470
02:00:12,020 --> 02:00:14,280
As for Noto's death,
1471
02:00:14,660 --> 02:00:17,580
Can I present my conclusions?
1472
02:00:19,460 --> 02:00:20,160
Speak.
1473
02:00:21,260 --> 02:00:24,060
What if the lightning hadn't struck?
1474
02:00:24,580 --> 02:00:27,820
Noto would have died from the shot.
1475
02:00:28,500 --> 02:00:29,620
What if it wasn't him?
1476
02:00:30,020 --> 02:00:31,810
I would have taken
shot and died?
1477
02:00:31,860 --> 02:00:33,507
Or seriously injured?
1478
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:35,040
I don't think so.
1479
02:00:35,700 --> 02:00:38,530
From the beginning, the target was Noto.
1480
02:00:38,580 --> 02:00:42,660
The shooter waited
let him be alone on the wall.
1481
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:44,380
Why?
1482
02:00:45,200 --> 02:00:49,750
Did you know that you
I would never kill Noto.
1483
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:52,670
So you punished him in my place?
1484
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:53,900
It seems so.
1485
02:00:57,580 --> 02:01:00,320
Who would it be? And with what objective?
1486
02:01:01,660 --> 02:01:04,500
As an instrument of Heaven,
1487
02:01:04,900 --> 02:01:06,350
killed the traitor Noto
1488
02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:08,576
in front of all his advisors.
1489
02:01:09,380 --> 02:01:12,520
Committed a cruel act
that you would never commit.
1490
02:01:13,080 --> 02:01:14,150
With this,
1491
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:18,200
instilled fear in them
of divine punishment.
1492
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:23,500
A divine punishment
by the hands of a man.
1493
02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:28,420
For now,
That's all I can say.
1494
02:01:30,820 --> 02:01:32,150
The best place to shoot
1495
02:01:32,200 --> 02:01:33,660
it was that roof.
1496
02:01:34,520 --> 02:01:37,740
But even killing Noto,
1497
02:01:38,320 --> 02:01:40,250
if the shooter was captured,
1498
02:01:40,300 --> 02:01:42,880
no one would believe
in divine punishment.
1499
02:01:43,820 --> 02:01:46,430
Must have run through the roof
and entered through a window.
1500
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:48,740
But there was no way out of there.
1501
02:01:51,860 --> 02:01:55,240
Someone at home
helped him escape.
1502
02:01:57,360 --> 02:01:58,420
It seems so.
1503
02:02:05,740 --> 02:02:12,310
The meal is ready.
What worries you, my lord?
1504
02:02:12,360 --> 02:02:15,920
I finally understood
what Kanbei meant.
1505
02:02:17,460 --> 02:02:19,280
I am happy to hear.
1506
02:02:20,900 --> 02:02:21,960
Want to hear?
1507
02:02:23,300 --> 02:02:24,000
Yes.
1508
02:02:26,580 --> 02:02:33,320
The invisible arrow,
the swapped head and Noto's death...
1509
02:02:34,540 --> 02:02:38,850
Everything seemed
a punishment from Heaven.
1510
02:02:38,900 --> 02:02:47,680
But why did Jinen sit down
with your back to Mori that night?
1511
02:02:48,260 --> 02:02:51,250
And with the door ajar
just nine centimeters?
1512
02:02:51,300 --> 02:02:57,200
Who arranged the exchange
from the young warrior's head?
1513
02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:01,500
And the shooter who killed Noto...
1514
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:04,880
Who helped the shooter
running away from the roof?
1515
02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:08,420
Chiyoho.
1516
02:03:10,500 --> 02:03:12,620
You ordered Noto to be shot.
1517
02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:17,800
Was it a Saika man?
1518
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:20,020
Yes.
1519
02:03:20,480 --> 02:03:22,880
Did the gun come in the day before?
1520
02:03:24,280 --> 02:03:24,980
I...
1521
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:30,880
I got a musket from the armory
the day before the council
1522
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:32,950
and asked a Saika man
1523
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:35,340
to shoot Noto from the roof.
1524
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:43,400
I planned everything, my lord.
1525
02:03:44,240 --> 02:03:46,990
Did you also change the heads?
1526
02:03:47,040 --> 02:03:50,270
Yes. I sent a maid
make the exchange.
1527
02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:51,670
And Jinen?
1528
02:03:51,720 --> 02:03:56,410
I said, "Sit down
in front of the brazier
1529
02:03:56,460 --> 02:03:58,760
and your wish will be granted."
1530
02:04:00,620 --> 02:04:02,950
Did he want to die that much?
1531
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:04,320
I would, my lord.
1532
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:10,500
He wanted to punish me for opposing
Samurai rules?
1533
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:11,670
No, my lord.
1534
02:04:11,720 --> 02:04:16,800
I just wanted them to believe
in divine punishment.
1535
02:04:18,100 --> 02:04:18,850
Who?
1536
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:21,600
The people, of course.
1537
02:04:22,340 --> 02:04:23,040
The people?
1538
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:26,412
I wanted to encourage the people
with these punishments?
1539
02:04:26,780 --> 02:04:29,620
Cause another revolt
like Nagashima?
1540
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:33,730
I would never incite
the people, my lord.
1541
02:04:33,780 --> 02:04:35,780
I don't understand, Chiyoho.
1542
02:04:37,320 --> 02:04:39,520
If you want to teach
the way of Buddha,
1543
02:04:40,420 --> 02:04:43,020
why do you need
show your punishments?
1544
02:04:44,620 --> 02:04:48,040
A samurai,
with his sword and armor,
1545
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:52,040
can survive
to this age of wars.
1546
02:04:53,940 --> 02:04:59,200
But the defenseless people
die like insects.
1547
02:05:03,580 --> 02:05:05,060
Answer one thing.
1548
02:05:08,200 --> 02:05:11,200
What do people fear most?
1549
02:05:14,540 --> 02:05:16,100
Death, I imagine.
1550
02:05:16,500 --> 02:05:21,240
And you?
Do you fear death above all else?
1551
02:05:22,980 --> 02:05:24,860
I'm not saying I don't fear it.
1552
02:05:26,020 --> 02:05:29,667
But who fears death above
There's no point in being a samurai at all.
1553
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:38,580
So listen to me, my lord.
1554
02:05:42,060 --> 02:05:45,350
What do the people
The most fearful thing is not death.
1555
02:05:45,400 --> 02:05:46,518
That's what comes after.
1556
02:05:47,960 --> 02:05:52,580
Suffer eternally
in hell, without salvation.
1557
02:05:54,860 --> 02:05:57,560
That's what I saw in Nagashima.
1558
02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:05,740
It must have been terrible.
1559
02:06:06,780 --> 02:06:07,480
Yes.
1560
02:06:10,580 --> 02:06:12,680
It was the Ikkō revolt.
1561
02:06:14,980 --> 02:06:19,860
The castle was full of people
with the weapons he could find.
1562
02:06:21,200 --> 02:06:26,140
"Not even Nobunaga will
Nagashima falls!"
1563
02:06:27,500 --> 02:06:29,150
"Advancement is going to paradise.
1564
02:06:29,200 --> 02:06:31,494
To retreat is to go to hell!" they shouted.
1565
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:35,890
Moving forward is going to paradise.
1566
02:06:35,940 --> 02:06:37,640
To retreat is to go to hell.
1567
02:06:39,180 --> 02:06:41,160
It all started with those words.
1568
02:06:43,320 --> 02:06:48,000
Amida never said that.
1569
02:06:49,340 --> 02:06:53,800
Some cunning monk invented them
to please the samurai.
1570
02:06:53,850 --> 02:06:55,497
They were nothing more than a lie.
1571
02:06:59,180 --> 02:07:03,420
So Oda surrounded those
thousands of people.
1572
02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:10,580
And I was there,
among the defenseless.
1573
02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:16,670
We all knew we were going to die.
1574
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:21,220
Therefore, we recited nenbutsu.
1575
02:07:24,100 --> 02:07:26,700
What we feared was not death,
1576
02:07:27,700 --> 02:07:31,840
but continue to suffer
even after it.
1577
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:42,100
“Advancement is paradise.
Backing down is hell.”
1578
02:07:44,100 --> 02:07:47,100
Those words
imprisoned us.
1579
02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:55,500
The siege prolonged.
1580
02:07:57,300 --> 02:08:00,600
Of the tens of thousands of people
in the castle, half died.
1581
02:08:01,980 --> 02:08:08,720
When Oda attacks
decreased, someone shouted:
1582
02:08:11,120 --> 02:08:12,960
“Oda retreated!”
1583
02:08:15,640 --> 02:08:17,880
“We cannot retreat!”
1584
02:08:19,060 --> 02:08:24,100
"Let's go to paradise!
To paradise!"
1585
02:08:27,820 --> 02:08:30,640
Men who don't even
they had a sword
1586
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:34,020
launched themselves against the enemy
like moths.
1587
02:08:35,620 --> 02:08:40,800
The muskets
of Oda opened fire.
1588
02:08:46,040 --> 02:08:48,690
I crawled through the scattered bodies.
1589
02:08:48,740 --> 02:08:50,350
I barely escaped.
1590
02:08:50,400 --> 02:08:52,820
I returned to Osaka
1591
02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:57,050
and I lived like an empty shell.
1592
02:08:57,100 --> 02:08:58,800
Until you welcomed me.
1593
02:09:00,140 --> 02:09:03,580
Since then,
my days have been like a dream.
1594
02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:11,040
Now, surrounded
again by Oda,
1595
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:16,260
I swore to spare the people
of Settsu from another Nagashima.
1596
02:09:17,020 --> 02:09:20,530
When witnessing those
mysterious punishments,
1597
02:09:20,580 --> 02:09:22,000
people certainly
1598
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:28,110
would believe that Buddha exists,
1599
02:09:28,160 --> 02:09:30,510
that your salvation is real.
1600
02:09:30,560 --> 02:09:33,230
Not only those who advance,
1601
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:38,300
but also those who retreat
will reach the Pure Land.
1602
02:09:41,060 --> 02:09:43,920
Is that why you staged these punishments?
1603
02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:45,700
Yes.
1604
02:09:46,460 --> 02:09:48,300
To save the defenseless,
1605
02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:50,660
It was necessary to give them a signal.
1606
02:09:51,600 --> 02:09:53,500
Even if it was fake?
1607
02:09:54,220 --> 02:09:55,720
It wasn't fake.
1608
02:09:56,200 --> 02:09:58,410
Through me,
1609
02:09:58,460 --> 02:10:00,400
Buddha guided those people.
1610
02:10:00,920 --> 02:10:04,120
That was why
that only I survived.
1611
02:10:10,460 --> 02:10:11,780
I understood.
1612
02:10:21,820 --> 02:10:24,540
Have me executed, my lord.
1613
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:37,600
Chiyoho, can I ask you a question?
1614
02:10:40,480 --> 02:10:41,560
Whatever you want.
1615
02:10:43,940 --> 02:10:45,860
Among all those who will die,
1616
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:50,500
am I included too?
1617
02:10:55,760 --> 02:10:57,000
Of course, my lord.
1618
02:11:02,940 --> 02:11:05,650
You lost weight so quickly.
1619
02:11:05,700 --> 02:11:08,600
I no longer serve
as lord of a castle?
1620
02:11:09,560 --> 02:11:11,207
Not at all, my lord.
1621
02:11:11,660 --> 02:11:14,510
I would say his dignity has only grown.
1622
02:11:14,560 --> 02:11:16,180
Don't flatter me.
1623
02:11:17,420 --> 02:11:21,600
Why did you rebel?
Mr. Murashige?
1624
02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:26,828
I also deposited
my hopes in Oda.
1625
02:11:27,200 --> 02:11:31,960
But he played it himself
was the strength he had.
1626
02:11:33,300 --> 02:11:34,960
I also killed a lot of people,
1627
02:11:36,260 --> 02:11:37,740
but he kills without measure.
1628
02:11:38,860 --> 02:11:42,000
One day, the people
and his vassals will abandon him.
1629
02:11:42,760 --> 02:11:47,460
I just didn't want to be
dragged along with him.
1630
02:11:50,260 --> 02:11:52,340
Maybe I was hasty.
1631
02:11:54,260 --> 02:11:58,200
Win over the people
without killing is a beautiful ideal.
1632
02:11:58,780 --> 02:12:01,850
But win without killing
It's almost impossible.
1633
02:12:01,900 --> 02:12:03,194
It's simple, my lord.
1634
02:12:04,260 --> 02:12:06,554
After the victory,
there is no need to kill.
1635
02:12:07,420 --> 02:12:09,714
That's why I wanted
rule the kingdom?
1636
02:12:15,540 --> 02:12:19,940
Everyone in this castle
they also believed that.
1637
02:12:22,500 --> 02:12:28,580
So why did I lose
my vassals?
1638
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:36,300
It only kept the vassals together
because he always won.
1639
02:12:39,220 --> 02:12:44,340
And now there is only one way to win.
1640
02:12:45,280 --> 02:12:46,540
Don't play.
1641
02:12:47,020 --> 02:12:50,900
Would I play with war?
1642
02:12:54,780 --> 02:12:55,480
So speak up.
1643
02:12:56,600 --> 02:12:58,247
So I will say, my lord.
1644
02:12:58,900 --> 02:13:01,950
Go to Aki in person,
to the lands of the Mōri.
1645
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:06,140
Ask Mōri Terumoto for help,
and everything will change.
1646
02:13:07,560 --> 02:13:10,260
The Mōri also have a reputation to uphold.
1647
02:13:11,220 --> 02:13:16,460
They would not refuse the visit
by Araki Murashige.
1648
02:13:16,980 --> 02:13:19,260
They will certainly send troops.
1649
02:13:20,980 --> 02:13:21,800
Now!
1650
02:13:22,920 --> 02:13:26,660
First, go to Amagasaki port.
1651
02:13:27,680 --> 02:13:33,540
Yosaku knows a way
until then that Oda doesn't know.
1652
02:13:35,340 --> 02:13:38,880
Upon arriving at the port,
look for Mr. Ura.
1653
02:13:39,420 --> 02:13:43,930
He might get
a ship to Aki.
1654
02:13:43,980 --> 02:13:45,870
I know Mr. Ura.
1655
02:13:45,920 --> 02:13:47,820
Yes, he will be able to help.
1656
02:13:48,480 --> 02:13:49,940
When you reach Aki,
1657
02:13:50,300 --> 02:13:53,000
look for Ankokuji Ekei.
1658
02:13:53,640 --> 02:13:55,640
He is an enemy
declared from Oda.
1659
02:13:55,940 --> 02:13:59,500
It will certainly take you
until Terumoto.
1660
02:14:00,560 --> 02:14:03,220
Choose good gifts
to Terumoto.
1661
02:14:04,040 --> 02:14:07,630
And don't forget the gifts
to Kobayakawa Takakage.
1662
02:14:07,680 --> 02:14:08,840
I won't forget.
1663
02:14:09,260 --> 02:14:10,560
Kanbei.
1664
02:14:11,160 --> 02:14:15,480
You planned it all
inside this cell?
1665
02:14:16,420 --> 02:14:18,260
This is just the preparation.
1666
02:14:20,120 --> 02:14:22,720
Even coming back
with the entire Mōri army,
1667
02:14:23,180 --> 02:14:25,300
at most it will equal
Oda's forces.
1668
02:14:26,380 --> 02:14:32,380
Only with your skill in battle,
Mr. Murashige, the Araki can win.
1669
02:15:14,160 --> 02:15:18,680
Is this your way of fighting?
1670
02:15:25,580 --> 02:15:30,051
Who would believe in a general who leaves
from the castle saying he's going to get help?
1671
02:15:30,540 --> 02:15:33,040
Oda would take Arioka
without difficulty,
1672
02:15:34,360 --> 02:15:36,980
and I would have run away
to save your own skin.
1673
02:15:37,720 --> 02:15:40,440
That's what they would say
me for generations.
1674
02:15:48,180 --> 02:15:50,580
You tricked me, Kanbei!
1675
02:15:53,600 --> 02:15:55,580
You understood my plan.
1676
02:15:56,900 --> 02:16:00,560
You've changed in a way
which I didn't expect.
1677
02:16:03,580 --> 02:16:06,840
You waited these ten months,
1678
02:16:08,200 --> 02:16:10,560
until rumors take over the castle
1679
02:16:11,380 --> 02:16:13,500
and my vassals abandon me.
1680
02:16:14,880 --> 02:16:16,260
Until Oda
1681
02:16:17,600 --> 02:16:21,260
no longer grant me forgiveness.
1682
02:16:23,080 --> 02:16:24,100
Exactly.
1683
02:16:26,160 --> 02:16:31,360
He stayed in this cell plotting
the fall of the Araki?
1684
02:16:42,360 --> 02:16:43,880
A brilliant plan.
1685
02:16:44,780 --> 02:16:47,290
Will you personally go
ask the Mōri for help,
1686
02:16:47,520 --> 02:16:50,020
and the situation will change.
1687
02:16:50,680 --> 02:16:53,500
This will cheer up everyone in the castle.
1688
02:16:57,000 --> 02:16:59,180
It's like a light in the darkness.
1689
02:17:01,040 --> 02:17:01,740
But what if...
1690
02:17:03,780 --> 02:17:07,700
Nobunaga attacks first
for you to return with the Mōri?
1691
02:17:08,580 --> 02:17:10,120
So surrender.
1692
02:17:11,380 --> 02:17:12,660
Don't fight.
1693
02:17:15,100 --> 02:17:19,020
Say that Araki abandoned
his men and fled.
1694
02:17:20,220 --> 02:17:22,630
A gentleman who abandons
your men and run away?
1695
02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:24,250
Nobody would believe that.
1696
02:17:24,300 --> 02:17:25,000
No.
1697
02:17:25,050 --> 02:17:27,120
Nobunaga would believe it.
1698
02:17:29,340 --> 02:17:30,780
That terrible man?
1699
02:17:31,720 --> 02:17:37,680
Even he dreams of running away before
let his vassals cut his throat.
1700
02:17:42,800 --> 02:17:44,840
Where will this world end?
1701
02:17:45,980 --> 02:17:48,060
I don't understand anything anymore.
1702
02:17:48,920 --> 02:17:50,391
Whatever happens,
1703
02:17:51,220 --> 02:17:54,250
If I get out of this dream alive,
1704
02:17:54,300 --> 02:17:55,888
I'll be satisfied now.
1705
02:18:01,320 --> 02:18:08,580
That's what it means
rule the kingdom?
1706
02:18:10,320 --> 02:18:11,080
The kingdom?
1707
02:18:12,680 --> 02:18:14,268
Let the dogs have him.
1708
02:18:18,520 --> 02:18:19,760
How to order.
1709
02:18:21,200 --> 02:18:22,560
Leave the rest to us.
1710
02:18:23,560 --> 02:18:26,031
Do what your heart
send, my lord.
1711
02:19:26,980 --> 02:19:29,333
So far, the pursuers will not arrive.
1712
02:20:19,820 --> 02:20:23,660
My lord, it's here
that I say goodbye.
1713
02:20:25,620 --> 02:20:26,320
I understand.
1714
02:20:27,980 --> 02:20:32,900
During the ten months of siege,
I just wanted to serve you with all my heart.
1715
02:20:33,840 --> 02:20:36,605
I fulfilled that wish.
I have no regrets.
1716
02:20:37,360 --> 02:20:38,060
I understand.
1717
02:20:41,720 --> 02:20:43,760
When you return with the Mōri,
1718
02:20:44,260 --> 02:20:47,900
we will be waiting for you in Arioka,
with the other vassals.
1719
02:20:48,420 --> 02:20:51,920
I can't abandon others.
1720
02:20:52,860 --> 02:20:54,160
I understand, Jūemon.
1721
02:20:54,980 --> 02:20:57,870
Defend Arioka until I return.
1722
02:20:57,920 --> 02:20:58,860
I will do so.
1723
02:20:59,560 --> 02:21:00,450
And if...
1724
02:21:00,500 --> 02:21:04,260
if, for some reason,
I don't come back,
1725
02:21:05,720 --> 02:21:08,180
Jūemon, don't die.
1726
02:21:11,620 --> 02:21:13,580
Don't die for me.
1727
02:21:15,800 --> 02:21:16,920
Someday,
1728
02:21:17,940 --> 02:21:19,999
might die
for a better lord.
1729
02:21:52,720 --> 02:21:54,910
I also say goodbye here.
1730
02:21:55,740 --> 02:21:56,480
Are you leaving?
1731
02:21:56,880 --> 02:21:57,580
I...
1732
02:21:58,060 --> 02:22:00,640
I serve Magoroku, from the Saika.
1733
02:22:01,320 --> 02:22:04,026
Accompanying you would be an honor,
Mr. Murashige.
1734
02:22:05,680 --> 02:22:09,800
But if he abandoned Magoroku,
the Saika would never forgive me.
1735
02:22:11,160 --> 02:22:11,900
Sagehari.
1736
02:22:12,840 --> 02:22:13,781
You served well.
1737
02:22:17,220 --> 02:22:21,260
I was the one who shot Noto.
1738
02:22:22,980 --> 02:22:23,740
Was it you?
1739
02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:26,826
Couldn't refuse a request
from Mrs. Chiyoho.
1740
02:22:27,040 --> 02:22:31,950
Mrs Chiyoho said the motto
of paradise and hell is a lie.
1741
02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:36,640
Only she taught me that paradise
also waits for those who do not move forward.
1742
02:22:37,740 --> 02:22:41,660
For the first time,
I could breathe a sigh of relief.
1743
02:22:43,140 --> 02:22:49,680
To be honest, I want to die
in Arioka to protect that lady.
1744
02:22:50,820 --> 02:22:53,460
I understand. Do as you please.
1745
02:23:06,700 --> 02:23:07,900
And you?
1746
02:23:13,740 --> 02:23:19,780
I want to always be by your side,
my lord. That's my duty.
1747
02:23:22,100 --> 02:23:23,560
Come, Sukesaburō.
1748
02:23:26,620 --> 02:23:29,679
In your luggage are the best
works of the kingdom.
1749
02:23:29,960 --> 02:23:32,670
Take care that none
them break.
1750
02:23:34,500 --> 02:23:35,500
Yes!
1751
02:23:58,500 --> 02:24:02,500
Subtitles: kephasmnc
1752
02:24:03,300 --> 02:24:09,250
Shortly afterwards, the castle
de Arioka surrendered to Oda.
1753
02:24:09,300 --> 02:24:13,500
Three years later, Nobunaga was killed
by his vassal Akechi Mitsuhide,
1754
02:24:13,550 --> 02:24:16,250
and the era of wars
it was approaching the end.
1755
02:24:16,300 --> 02:24:24,100
Murashige survived Nobunaga
and gained fame as a tea master.
