All language subtitles for Shogun 3

- Konnichiwa, Anjin-san.
- Konnichiwa.

This interests you, does it?

Pistol.

Go on, hold it. Go on.

Oh... !

Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Arigato gozaimasu.

Lord Buntaro rode at Toranaga's side,
a position of great honour,

as they entered Anjiro.

That Toranaga had ordered his wife to
teach Blackthorne displeased Buntaro.

The thought of Mariko alone
with a barbarian was insult enough.

To think beyond that could only produce
an unspeakable fury.

(MARIKO SPEAKS JAPANESE)

(NARRATOR) Even the barbarian's
house had a foul smell.

For Lord Buntaro, the loathsome sight
of the hanging pheasant

was not as distasteful
as the sight of the barbarian himself.

Please bow, Anjin-san.

Please.

(BUNTARO SPEAKS JAPANESE)

My husband says that he was told
what you said to Lord Yabu,

that 1 00 men with muskets
could defeat his 500.

My husband said that his bow and arrow
can kill at a much greater range,

with greater accuracy
and faster than the musket.

Tomorrow I'll shoot against him,
if he likes, and we will see.

You will lose, Anjin-san.

I'm sorry. May I caution you
not to attempt it.

Tell him...

...l would like to see him shoot tomorrow.

Tell Buntaro-sama, in my country
a host always toasts his honoured guest.

Long life and happiness!

Health!

Health and wealth!

Health, wealth and a steady hand!

(SHOUTS COMMAND)

(OUTSIDE) Hai!

(BUNTARO SPEAKS)

My husband says you wanted
to see him shoot, Anjin-san.

He thinks tomorrow is too far away.
Now is a good time.

The gateway of your house,
he asks which post you choose.

The right post.

(BUNTARO SPEAKS)

He...
My husband would like you to go look.

There's no need.
I believe he hit the target.

Please, Anjin-san.

Mariko-san.

Please tell my consort to leave
all the arrows in the post forever.

To remind me of a master archer.

(MARIKO TRANSLATES)

(FUJIKO SPEAKS)

Sake!

(MARIKO) Dozo.

Ima da!

I am sorry, Anjin-san...

...but my husband orders me to tell...

...to tell you about myself,
about my family.

He commands me.

My maiden name is Akechi.

I am the daughter of General Lord
Akechi Jinsai, the assassin.

My father assassinated
the dictator Lord Goroda.

My father committed
the worst crime there is.

My blood is tainted.

But how...?

I've heard...

How were you left alive?

My husband honoured me.

He honoured me by sending me away.

I begged to be allowed
to commit seppuku,

to kill myself.

He has denied me that privilege.

I have told you that I belong to him.

lnstead of divorcing or casting me out,
as he should have done,

he sent me away
to Shonai Province in the north.

It was very cold there.

(SPEAKS ANGRILY)

My husband says

that it is enough for me to tell you
that I am the daughter of a traitor.

Long explanations are unnecessary.

He orders me to leave now.

Sake.

- (ANGRY MALE VOICE)
- (WHIMPERING FEMALE VOICE)

(SOUNDS OF A STRUGGLE)

(FEMALE CRIES OUT)

(FUJIKO PLEADS WITH HIM)

What the hell is going on?

(FEMALE WHIMPERS AND MOANS)

Go away, Anjin-san.

Please go away!

- How bad are you?
- Please go away.

Your presence here takes away my face.

It gives me no peace or comfort.
You shame me.

I want to help you.

You have no right in this.

This is between husband and wife.

That's no excuse to beat you.

Listen to me, Anjin-san.

He can beat me to death if he wishes.

He has the right.

Tonight is my fault.

If I would weep as he wants,

beg forgiveness as he wants,

spread myself in pretended fear
as he wants...

...then he would be
like a child in my hand.

But I will not.

Why?

Because that is my revenge,

to repay him for leaving me alive
after the treachery.

From that moment...

...I have never given myself to him freely.

And I never will.

I detested him from
the first moment I saw him.

Now, please go, please.
If he comes back...

I'm not afraid of him.

But you should be.

(FUJIKO PLEADS)

Get up, you bastard!

I said get up!

(NARRATOR) It was inconceivable
that Lord Buntaro's honour

could allow him to apologise.

Blackthorne realised that was exactly
what Mariko's husband was doing,

bowing low, abjectly.

Lord Buntaro had disturbed
the harmony of Blackthorne's house.

An apology was required,
whether he meant it or not.

Face had to be saved

for both of them.

Wakarimasu.

Sake. Too much sake.

Hai, wakarimasu.

Domo. Domo.

Aah!

Fujiko-san...

...nan desu ka?

(FUJIKO SPEAKS)

That was supposed to be my dinner.
What happened?

Doshita?

(FUJIKO EXPLAINS)

Wakarimasen.

I see. Who was it?

Dare?

Oh.

Where is he?

Doko?

Shinda no desu.

Dead?

What for?

For taking that damn bird away?

What the hell are you talking about?

You killed that old man
for a God-cursed, stinking bird?

You murdering bitch!

That won't bring him back to life.

Iye, Fujiko-san.

Iye.

(FUJIKO SPEAKS TEARFULLY)

It's not your fault.

It is my fault for giving that foolish,
God-cursed order.

I wish I could explain that to you now.

It is not you.

The old man's death
is on my head, not yours.

Wakarimasen.

- Konnichiwa, Toranaga-sama.
- Anjin ka?

Domo.

My master says that
he is pleased to see you,

but that you are looking troubled.

He wishes to know why.

The old man, the old gardener.

I am responsible for his death.

Nanja?

It was all officially dealt with.

There is no need to be troubled.

- You knew?
- Yes.

The stench of decay is revolting to us,
so something had to be done.

Why not come to me?
That pheasant was meaningless.

You are head of the house
and gave an order.

Fujiko-san, as your consort,
was duty-bound to see it carried out.

There was only one solution.
One of the servants had to take it away.

- And die for it?
- The gardener asked for the privilege.

He was very happy to die honourably.

Believe me, Anjin-san, there is nothing
for you to be troubled about.

My master says
what had to be done was done.

He asks me to tell you
the news from Osaka.

What news?

Lord Sugiyama resigned
from the Council of Regents.

Now there are only four again,
and again they cannot act.

Lord Ishido was very angry.

Lord Sugiyama, his wife, his consort
and his children have all been killed.

By Ishido?

- Can he do that?
- It was done.

The deaths were very bad.

The Council of Regents
may never meet again.

What will happen?

War. A long war
which will destroy the Empire.

- Unless...
- What?

Unless Lord Toranaga petitions
the Emperor to make him Shogun.

- Do you understand what that means?
- No.

Shogun. Shogun is the military ruler
of the whole country.

(TORANAGA) Anjin...

He says that the time has come
to prepare your ship for war.

(LOUD RUMBLING)

(RUMBLING STOPS)

(RUMBLING RESUMES)

(TROOPS CRY OUT)

(MARIKO SCREAMS)

- Tono!
- Toranaga-sama!

- Tono!
- Toranaga-sama!

Climb!

(MARIKO) Tono!

(TORANAGA SPEAKS)

Is it over?

Until the next time.
It is over until it begins again.

Karma, neh?

Karma.

Nanja?

(MARIKO) Tono...

Mm.

Toranaga-sama, dozo.

Fujiko-san.

Nan desu ka?

Can I see?

(DOCTOR SPEAKS)

I don't want her to die.

Shinda, iye. Wakarimasu ka?

Anjin-sama...

Domo.

Fujiko-san.

(FUJIKO SPEAKS)

- Konbanwa, Anjin-san.
- Konbanwa, Naga-san.

Domo.

Konbanwa, Toranaga-sama.

Domo.

Lord Toranaga wishes to know how long
before his ship is ready for war?

On whom do I war, Mariko-san?

On whom do you wish to war?

On this year's Black Ship.

What?

With Lord Toranaga's permission,
my ship and a little help,

we can split the cargo,
all silks and bullion.

Nanja?

My master says that will make war
against a friendly nation.

It could not be forgiven.
The Portuguese are essential to Japan.

The Portuguese are less his friends
than he may think.

Portugal's finances
depend upon the Black Ship.

There's the balance of power,
right in Lord Toranaga's hand.

(TORANAGA SPEAKS)

He says that he is not at war
with the Portuguese.

He will not attack the Black Ship.

I could do it. With the "Erasmus",
my ship, I could out-sail and sink her.

But you have no ship, Anjin-san.

Whose ship am I outfitting?

Preparing a ship for war is not the same
as having it returned to you.

Nanja?

He reminds me that
my opinions have no value

and that interpreters
should only interpret.

(TORANAGA SPEAKS)

My master says that
the Black Ship will arrive soon,

but under no circumstances can you
consider attacking the Black Ship here.

This is not anywhere.
This is the land of the gods.

(NAGA SPEAKS)

Ikimasu ka?

(RHYTHMIC DRUMMING)

(DRUMMING STOPS)

(TORANAGA MAKES SPEECH)

"The time has come when war can
no longer be avoided, a war against me.

"Rather than wait for the battle to begin,
who will join me in attacking first?"

(ALL) Ho!

(TORANAGA) Anjin...

(TORANAGA CONTINUES)

Lord Toranaga says,
"Today I was almost killed.

"The Anjin-san pulled me
out of the ground.

"That is the second, maybe the third time
that he has saved my life.

"Although it is bushido that samurai
shouldn't expect reward for any service,

"it is the duty of a liege lord
to grant favours from time to time."

Ho!

"The Anjin-san is given
a fishing village south of Yedo,

"the right to recruit 200 samurai
retainers, 10 horses and 20 kimonos."

Naga!

(TORANAGA CONTINUES SPEECH)

"To be a samurai is the highest honour
a man can hope to attain.

"To accept the duty of a samurai
is the greatest oath a man can make.

"The obedience of a samurai
is without question."

Wakaru ka?

Hai, Toranaga-sama. Wakarimasu.

Lord Toranaga presents this katana
to you in return for the one you gave him.

They were made by the master Yori-ya.

The sword is the soul of a samurai.

If he forgets it or loses it,
he will never be excused.

Domo, Toranaga-sama.

Domo.

"Because from this moment on,

"you, Anjin-san,
you are now samurai."

Ei... Ei... Ei...

Ho!

Ho!

(NARRATOR) "You, Anjin-san,
you are now samurai. "

Part of my reward?
What part of my reward?

You will see. Lord Toranaga
has ordered her for you.

- He's ordered a woman for me?
- Yes. Kiku-san.

You cannot refuse. It would be
terribly impolite after so many honours.

And it will be interesting for me.

Why?

I have never met
a lady from the Willow World.

- The Willow World?
- Yes, that is what it is called.

Because the ladies are supposed
to be as graceful as willows.

You must agree to go, Anjin-san.

You know I can't refuse you anything.

Good.

It is all very official,

and, for tonight,
you must be very Japanese.

What do I have to do?

You must forget what you have to do
and remember

that this night is only for your pleasure.

(GYOKO SPEAKS)

Gyoko-san welcomes you to her house.

Her house? She's not...?

Is she the reward?

No, she is the Mama-san here.

(GYOKO SPEAKS)

I have always wanted to look inside
one of these houses.

Even in a small village, just look at it.

Everything is beautiful.

- Thou art beautiful.
- And you.

I am so proud of you,

proud to be with you here.

Tonight there are no cares.

Tonight there is only magic for you.

Thou art magic for me.

When a lady of one man
cares for another man,

and wishes to give him something
of consequence that is forbidden to give,

then she will arrange
for another to take her place.

A gift, the most beautiful gift
that she can find.

Anjin-sama...

Kiku-san is honoured by your company.

Tell her I remember
the first time we met.

The first time?

Just tell her.

She is honoured that you remember.

She says you are very different
than you were then.

When was that?

The day I left for Osaka.
I saw her in the street.

That seems very far away.

It is, Anjin-san.

Tonight everything is far away.

Dozo.

Kiku-san asks if you would like her
to play or dance for you.

What is your preference?

This lady is here for your pleasure,
samurai, not mine.

And you? Are you also here
for my pleasure?

Yes, in a way,

in a very private way.

Please ask her to play.

- (MARIKO TRANSLATES)
- Hai.

(CLAPS TWICE)

(KIKU STARTS TO PLAY)

(PLAYING STOPS)

My God, that's wonderful.

Now I must leave thee.

- Let us leave together.
- I beg thee, stay.

For thy honour and hers.
And mine, Anjin-san.

I do not desire thy gift.
I desire thee.

I am thine, Anjin-san. Please stay
and know that tonight I am thine.

Then be with me.

I am. Speak no more.

I would put my fingers
to thy lips to silence thee,

but I cannot.

Gyoko-san.

(OMI SPEAKS)

Ohayo gozaimasu, Anjin-san.

Ohayo gozaimasu, Omi-san.

Ohayo gozaimasu, Omi-sama.

- (KIKU CONTINUES)
- Iya.

Domo, Kiku-san.

- Ikimasu ka?
- Hai.

(OMI) Koi.

(MARIKO CONTINUES TO SPEAK)

Ohayo gozaimasu, Toranaga-sama.

Hm.

My master says that
you are to leave with him in the morning.

- For Yedo?
- First you will go to Yokose, then Yedo.

I thought he wanted me
to prepare my ship for war.

- Why send me to Yokose?
- It is between here and Mishima.

It is on the way to Yedo.
Lord Toranaga will be stopping there.

(TORANAGA SPEAKS)

He wishes you to write down
everything about your family.

Why?

A samurai has to have
his birth and death recorded.

How else can a liege lord
keep everything balanced?

I would like to thank Lord Toranaga
for his favour and his many gifts.

If he would choose my 200 retainers,
his guidance would be worth anything.

Hm...

"Is it worth 1,000 koku? "

Hai.

He says that you are generous
and accepts your offer.

Your men will be waiting for you in Yedo.

Domo, Toranaga-sama.

- I've seen no country like this in Europe.
- Yes, it is beautiful.

What happens when we get to Yokose?

I do not know, Anjin-san, but Lord
Toranaga is meeting his half-brother,

Lord Saigawa Zataki, Lord of Shinao.

Lord Zataki has been appointed to the
Council of Regents. There are five again.

But you said...

If he's Lord Toranaga's
half-brother, then it's all right.

No, Anjin-san, Lord Zataki is a traitor.

He has allied himself with Lord Ishido.

Ishido?

Then what will happen?

We will wait and see.

Lord Toranaga is very wise.

His karma is great.

Thy beauty is greater.

And thy patience is small.

(TORANAGA SPEAKS)

(YABU REPLIES)

Hai!

(LORD BUNTARO SPEAKS)

- Konnichiwa, Anjin.
- Konnichiwa, Buntaro-sama.

My husband asks you to excuse him,
but he must talk to me in private.

Dozo.

(NARRATOR) Lord Zataki, the newest
member of the Council of Regents,

and now Lord Ishido's ally.

Toranaga met his half-brother politely,
apologising for the informal setting,

allowing neither his inner feelings
nor his thoughts to be read,

even by this man
he had known since childhood.

Whatever message Zataki carried,

first their individual honour
had to be protected.

For a moment I did not
recognise you, Pilot-Major.

God curse you and all priests.

- May God forgive your blasphemy.
- What are you doing here?

- I might ask you the same.
- You'll get no answers from me, priest.

I pray God will open your eyes
to his infinite mercy.

Mine are open. Yours are fogged.

The swords suit you, Pilot.

I heard that you saved Lord
Toranaga's life and I thank you for that.

Wait.

(ZATAKI READS ALOUD)

Lord Toranaga has been ordered
to Osaka by the Council of Regents.

When?

Now, Pilot.

Now.

(ZATAKI CONTINUES)

Lord Zataki said that if Lord Toranaga
does not go to Osaka,

he has an order
from the Council of Regents

instructing Lord Toranaga
to commit suicide.

Lord Toranaga would have to obey.

Father Alvito.

I did not know that you were in Yokose.

It is always a pleasure to see you,
Lady Toda, no matter where.

He's leaving.

Lord Toranaga said that
he would give his answer tomorrow.

I hope to see you again.

Please do not look at me like that.

I cannot help it.

Lord Toranaga has ordered my husband
to make peace with me.

My husband is preparing a cha no yu,
a tea ceremony.

What are you going to do?

I shall try,

try with all my heart to obey.

(NARRATOR) Having been commanded
to make peace with his wife,

Lord Buntaro began to prepare
the ancient ritual of the cha no yu,

the tea ceremony.

The first required perfection
was absolute cleanliness...

...the second, complete simplicity.

Hai.

In her heart, Mariko felt unworthy
of such a beautiful ceremony.

But there was more.

Lord Buntaro asked, "Can we be
together again as husband and wife?"

Lord Buntaro knew why his wife refused
to live in harmony in him.

Anjin!

Listen, Brothers.

We are in judgement
over Brother Joseph,

who went with a whore
of this town last night,

breaking his holy oath of obedience,
desecrating his immortal soul,

his position as a Jesuit,
his place in the Church

and all that that stands for.

You, sinner.

Before God, you admit your sin?

It was the first time, Father.

I have been sinless all my life,
until last night.

I was tempted.

Blessed Madonna,
forgive me. I failed.

I beg forgiveness, Father.

As initial penance,
you are forbidden to talk.

You will have only rice and water
for the next 30 days.

You will spend the next 30 nights
on your knees in prayer for forgiveness.

And further,

you will be scourged.

Thirty lashes. Take off your cassock.

I accept my punishment, Father, but
I won't be lashed like a common criminal.

You will be scourged!

Excuse me. In the name
of the Madonna, it is not the pain.

Pain is nothing to me.
Death is nothing to me.

That I am damned and will burn in hell
for all eternity may be my karma.

I will endure it, but...

...I am samurai
and I will not be scourged!

Keep silent and obey,
or you are excommunicated.

Seize him and strip him.

Please, Brother...give me the knife.

No!

Then, pray for me, Brother,

as I pray for you.

Stop!

- Michael.
- Yes.

Leave him alone.

God have mercy on you, Joseph.

You are excommunicated.

I renounce the Christian God.
I am Japanese.

My soul is my own now.

I am not afraid.

Satan has possessed your soul on earth,

as he will possess it after death.

Get thee gone!

(THE TWO LORDS TALK)

Lord Toranaga has agreed.
He is going to Osaka.

Do you know what that means, Pilot?

For you,

now that you are samurai,
samurai and hatamoto.

Now you will be ordered
to commit seppuku.

Suicide.

That's karma, in the hands of God.
Call it what you will.

May God have mercy on you.

For as God is my judge,

I believe you will never leave
these islands.

(MARIKO) Lord Toranaga
is returning to Anjiro.

He is going to Yedo by galley,
so he will be there when we arrive.

My husband will accompany him.

May God bless you and keep you
in his hands forever.

Thank you, Father.

Good morning, Pilot. How are you today?

Well, thank you. And you?

We are travellers on the same road.
You won't object if we ride with you?

(MARIKO) Not at all, Father.

(BLACKTHORNE) I'm sure these ladies
won't object either.

(QUESTION IN JAPANESE)

Hai. Ikimasu, Yoshinaka-san. Ima.

(ALVITO) Have you noticed, Pilot,
there are no carriages in Japan?

Nothing with wheels.
They are of no use here.

The roads are too steep,
criss-crossed with rivers and streams.

Wheels would ruin the road, so they are
forbidden to all except the Emperor.

He travels only a few ceremonial ri
in Kyoto on a special road.

Look at this road we're on.

(BLACKTHORNE)
I was wondering when you'd notice.

You knew?
I would like to speak with him.

That's not possible. Lord Toranaga's
ordered that no one speak to him.

I shall report this to the Father-Visitor.

You excommunicated the man, priest.
You cast him out.

He has nothing to do with you any more.
He's back where he belongs.

And you, samurai, where do you belong?

(BLACKTHORNE)
If thou knewest how I love thee.

I love thee more.

Thou art my first love.

My only love.

But now I tremble with fear for thee.

There is no fear. There is only now.

I fear that I have destroyed thee, my love.

By this beginning,

we are doomed, you and I.

I have destroyed thee.

I am not easily destroyed.

Karma is karma.

Thou art strong

and thou art samurai,

and I love thy touch.

And yet...

...I am still afraid for thee.

And yet there is nothing to fear
as long as thou art in my arms.

I wish to be nowhere else.

Whatever else happens
on this journey is not important.

We will live this moment
until Yedo's First Bridge.

There our journey must end.

No.

There must be an ending, my love.

The First Bridge.
Our journey together ends.

- Swear it.
- I cannot.

Swear to me, I beg you.

The First Bridge is but a dream.

I ask you with my heart.

Swear to me.

I swear I love thee.

The First Bridge...

...at Yedo.

I swear.

(SHOUTS ORDER)

We shall be leaving you now.
Our road leads to the port of Numazu.

- But our paths shall cross again.
- Not willingly, priest.

I bear you no malice, Pilot.

I come now to bring you a gift.

Yes, a gift from God.

It is a Portuguese-Japanese
dictionary and grammar.

Three of our brethren
spent 27 years preparing it.

Why are you giving this to me?

Knowledge belongs to God, not to man.

This is much too valuable
simply to give away.

What do you want in return?

Only that God may open your eyes.

Was it not Lord Toranaga's request?

Yes, which I passed on
to the Father-Visitor.

It was he that agreed.
I am only the messenger.

Cherish the gift, samurai.
It merits being treated well.

With this I'll learn the language
in six months.

Yes, perhaps you will...

...if you have six months.

I hope to see you in Yedo, Lady Toda.

Lord Toranaga has invited me there
to see the site of our new cathedral.

Until then, may God
keep you safe in his mercy.

Go with God, Father.

And you, my child.

(OWL HOOTS)

What is it?

Nothing, my love, nothing.

Come back to sleep.

No, I want to be with thee.

Asleep or awake,
thou art with me constantly.

Yes.

Would we could live here forever.

Where is the Ingl�s now, Father?

At one of the inns, south of Mishima.

They should reach the city tomorrow,

even at their leisurely pace.

Is he fit, the Ingl�s?

Mm.

More than fit.
You will be surprised to see him.

Surprised he's still alive.

Listen, Father, I know the Ingl�s
is an enemy and heretic,

but he saved my life and
he's a pilot before he's anything else.

One of the best that there's ever been.

It's not wrong to respect an enemy,
even to like one.

The Lord Jesus forgave his enemies.

Still they crucified him,
if you remember.

Yes.

Still, the man's a pilot and...

...pilots have a feeling for each other.

Blackthorne is a samurai.

- What?
- And hatamoto. He wears the swords.

The Ingl�s?

And worse, he's becoming
Toranaga's confidant.

Madonna! That's hard to believe.

At this moment, he may be
the most dangerous man in all Japan.

Why?

- I didn't know I was so hungry.
- Have some more, Father.

Capon? Bread?

Thank you.

The Ingl�s...

...why is he so dangerous?

Toranaga is planning to give him back
his ship and his men.

And his cannon.

Blessed Virgin, no!

- You find that serious?
- Serious?

The "Erasmus" would blast us
if she caught us twixt here and Macao!

Or anywhere else, for that matter!

We're no match. She'd dance round us
and we'd have to strike our colours.

- Are you certain?
- Before God!

The Ingl�s loose in Asian waters.

But you knew that.
You said he was dangerous.

Yes.

I still wanted to hear it from you.

What is it?

Nothing.

Nothing.

I just thought I felt the tide change.

Listen, Father...

...hear my confession.

The very first time the Ingl�s
stood beside me on the galley

out to sea when we were going
from Anjiro, my heart told me to kill him.

Lord Jesus help me,

but I sent him forward
during the storm without a lifeline,

and I deliberately swerved into the wind.

He didn't go overboard
as anyone else would have.

I thought that was the hand of God.

Later, when he saved my ship
and saved my life,

I was so ashamed, Father,

that I secretly begged God's forgiveness

and I swore a holy oath
to try to make it up to him.

He saved my life though he knew
I tried to murder him. I saw it in his eyes.

He saved me and helped me live.

Now...

...I've got to kill him.

- How many people live in Mishima?
- 60,000. It is only a small city.

Small? In Europe, 60,000
would not be considered small.

Would you prefer to be
in Europe at this moment?

I am exactly where I choose to be.
By your side, in our world.

Yes.

This is the only world that exists for me.

How far is Yedo?

Only a matter of time.

- How much time?
- Not enough.

You're wrong, my love.
We have all the time in the world.

(SHOUTS ORDERS)

Iye, kore de...

Kore de mo kekko desu.

I'll be damned. It worked.

Kore de mo kekko desu.
"Nothing more."

Kore...de...mo...kekko...desu.

I love to touch thee.

I love thy touch.

I have never known the feeling.

My body and soul
have learned so much from thee.

Then let me touch thee more,

beyond the First Bridge at Yedo.

No, my love.

But do not speak of that now.

Tonight, the First Bridge does not exist.

It is ten million times
ten million sticks away.

Reality is only here.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

But how do you keep a thought
from coming into your head?

Sometimes the dark mist
creeps into my brain like a night fog.

Then there is no peace within me.

Yes.

You must know, my love,
how to drink tea from an empty cup.

(RODRIGUES) Ingl�s!
Where the hell are you?

Rodrigues.

Go quickly, my love,
before Captain Yoshinaka comes.

- Anjin-san!
- Nan desu ka, Yoshinaka-san?

Tell these monkeys to let me pass!

Rodrigues, I'm coming!

Kore wa watashi no tomodachi desu.
Wakarimasu ka? He is my friend.

Hai, domo.

(MARIKO CALLS TO YOSHINAKA)

Hai, Mariko-sama.

Madonna! You look good!

Where did you come from?
How did you find me?

I'm anchored at Numazu.
Father Alvito told me you'd be here,

so I rode as if the devil was after me.

This is the fifth inn I've been to,
asking where the great Anjin-san was.

- Big barbarian bandit!
- Come on!

Yoshinaka-san, kore wa Rodrigo-san.
Kore wa watashi no tomodachi desu.

Listen to you. Just like a Japper.

What the hell is this?
Iye, samurai-sama.

Iye! Watashi tomodachi Anjin-san!
Wakarimasu ka? Tomodachi!

- You tell him. I'm not giving up my arms.
- Wakarimasen, Yoshinaka-san.

Rodrigo-san, tomodachi desu.

Like hell! Iye!

Matte kudasai.

Let them have your arms. It's not me.
It's Lady Toda. She's in the house.

You know how touchy they are about
weapons around their lords and ladies.

Why not? After all, I'm among friends.

- Mate.
- Now what the hell is this?

Searched? No, by God! Iye!

Is this how you usually visit your friends?

The land's hostile, you know that.
Tell them to let me go!

- Is that the lot? Everything?
- Of course! I told you!

And these?

Answer me honestly, or I'll have them
search the way a Spaniard would.

My hat band.
You would, wouldn't you?

Before God, is this all?

- I told you!
- Swear it!

By the Blessed Virgin, I swear!

Is it all right to sit down?

Of course.

- Searched like a common criminal.
- You lied.

Yes, well, I was wrong. You were right.

- Even so, it's good to see you.
- And you.

The world is a foul place
when you can't trust anyone.

Tonight I came in friendship.

- Armed in friendship?
- Being your friend complicated my life.

Thou art too dangerous.

So you came here to kill me?

My people and my country would
both be better off if you were dead.

Sad, but true.

How foolish life is.

I don't want you dead, Pilot.
Just your Black Ship.

Yes, I know.

Listen, Ingl�s, if we meet at sea,

you in your ship, armed,
me in mine,

then look to your life.

That's all I came
to promise you. Only that.

I hope to catch your Black Ship
at sea, Rodrigo-san.

And when I do,
I will still think kindly of you.

Then it's all said.

Except for one thing.

That night on the frigate
when I threw you overboard,

that night your Lord Toranaga
sold you to Ferriera.

Who are your friends now?

That night on the galley
when you swerved into the wind,

that night you tried to put me overboard.

Yes.

Yes, it's true.

And I don't ask for forgiveness.
Not any more.

With thee, heresy has come to Eden.

Captain Yoshinaka was right
to search him.

Was that your idea?

Please excuse me,
but I was afraid for you.

Sad, isn't it?

Not being able to trust anyone.

It is not sad, Anjin-san,

it is just one of life's
most important rules.

No more, no less.

We must cross the bridge now.

Now it exists, the First Bridge.

We must go across.

It's only a bridge.

One of many.

It is the First Bridge, Anjin-san,

and the last for us.

(NARRATOR) Yedo Castle,
the home of Lord Toranaga.

Kimasu Yedo...
"Alvito is coming to Yedo."

"I wish to...

"I want to...

"I want...

"I want Alvito to translate..."
Tsuyaku... Tsuyaku.

(SPEAKS JAPANESE)

- Konnichiwa, Anjin-san. Ikaga desu ka?
- Genki desu. Anata wa?

Domo.

- Konbanwa, Toranaga-sama.
- (TORANAGA REPLIES)

I am to tell you that you will have
your samurai in a day or two.

When may I see my ship and my crew?

(MARIKO TRANSLATES)

My master says
you may see your men tonight.

He will decide about your ship later.

Domo, Toranaga-sama.

Please ask him if I might
speak to him privately.

- By myself.
- Why? What are you going to say?

Nanja?

Hm.

(READS IN JAPANESE)

Wakarimasen, Toranaga-sama.

Wakarimasu iye. Wakarimasu hai.

I am frightened, Blessed Madonna,

and I am betrayed.

I know that suicide is mortal sin,

but what else can I do?

To live with this shame
is more than I can bear.

(BUNTARO SPEAKS ANGRILY)

The sight of the barbarian with his wife
had dishonoured Lord Buntaro again.

Now his heart filled with rage.

For the first time,
Mariko did not fear his anger.

(MARIKO SPEAKS)

(SPEAKS ANGRILY)

(JAPANESE)

- (JAPANESE)
- Doko?

- (CONTINUES IN JAPANESE)
- Hai. Wakarimasu.

- (JAPANESE)
- Hai, Anjin-san.

(SOMEONE GROANS)

I'm drunker than I thought.

- I'm going to be sick.
- Then use a bucket.

Is that you? For the love of God,
Pilot, is it truly you?

Of course it's me.

We gave you up for dead long ago.

My prayers are answered.

Where've you been? Where've you
come from? Come on. Tell us all.

Lads, look what Father Christmas
has brought us.

- I thought you were a samurai!
- Foul heathen!

(SHOUTS OF JOY)

Where's Captain-General Spillbergen?

Dead. He never came out
of the pit. Maetsukker, too.

Little rat face, he just rotted to death.

I wanted to bleed him,
but nothing to cut him with.

I couldn't make
these yellow heathen understand.

He went raving. We had to tie him down.

The man was nothing but a foul stench...
God rest his soul.

You haven't tried the grog yet, Pilot.

- (COUGHS)
- (LAUGHTER)

We make it ourselves. By the barrel.
Rice, fruit, water, then we let it ferment.

Then we put it in this still we made.
It would be better if we let it mellow.

- But, as fast as we make it, we drink it!
- Let the Pilot talk.

Yes, you talk, Pilot. When I saw him,
I thought he was one of the monkeys!

Perhaps you prefer heathen ways now.
Are those real swords?

They're real enough.

We're not allowed weapons.
How do you get swords?

You haven't changed,
Jan Roper, have you?

- Who are they?
- Them's our doxies.

- Cost a button a week.
- They rattle like stoats and no pox!

- Do you want one, Pilot?
- Take your choice and use my bunk.

Pilot doesn't want one of our harlots.
He's got his own. Eh, Pilot?

Has anyone seen the ship?

Aye. She's in the harbour, careened
and scraped as if she were just built.

The rigging's perfect. The sails!
Pilot, you should see the sails!

- What about them?
- They made them out of silk.

Strong as canvas. She's ready to sail
on the tide. Tonight, if need be.

Are we leaving, Pilot?

Is there enemy shipping in the waters?
Are there prizes to be taken?

- There's a prize beyond your dreams.
- Prize? What prize, Pilot?

The Jesuits' Black Ship.
She's worth millions in gold.

- Gold? Then we'll be rich!
- Plenty of Papists to kill! Very good!

- How can we sail her? There's six of us.
- There will be a way.

Do you want to eat?
We've got some lovely roast.

- You staying with us? There's room.
- Have some more grog.

You're home again. Now you're back,
our prayers are answered.

- Three cheers for the Pilot! Hip, hip...
- Hooray!

- Hip, hip...
- Hooray!

- Hip, hip...
- Hooray!

(MEN SING DRUNKENLY)
# Fare-thee-well... #

(SAMURAI SPEAKS)

Hai.

# I swore that I'd never
set sail in bad weather

# But stay by her side at the shore

# Fare-thee-well,
oh, ye Barbary merchants... #

Those God-cursed, filthy... !

Nan desu ka?

Ofuro. Ima. Wakarimasu ka?
Ofuro.

- Konnichiwa, Anjin-san.
- Konnichiwa, Mariko-san.

- It gladdens my heart to see thee.
- Lord Toranaga has sent for us.

I know. When can I speak to thee?

That is very difficult now, Anjin-san.

- It was difficult before, but we did.
- I'm sorry, but we must go now.

- Konnichiwa, Toranaga-sama.
- Anjin ka?

(TORANAGA SPEAKS)

- My master asks if you saw your men.
- Hai, tono.

There are only five now.
Two have died.

(TORANAGA CONTINUES)

Hai, tono.

My master has sent for his son,
Lord Suga, and his wife, Lady Genjiko.

My master orders me to translate
everything that is said.

You must not speak at all.

Wakarimasu, Toranaga-sama.

(SPEAKS JAPANESE)

Hai!

Lord Suga asks
if he has offended my master.

My master asks if treason
is cause to be offended.

Lady Genjiko says that
whoever accused her husband is a liar.

My master asks if Lord Suga
always obeys orders.

Lord Suga said always.

He has ordered them
to put their children to death.

Hai!

Lord Suga says
that his children are gone.

Lord Toranaga says
that the children are safe.

My master needed to be sure
of both Lord Suga and Lady Genjiko.

My master says that
foul times require foul tests.

(SPEAKS AFFECTIONATELY)

(TORANAGA DISMISSES THEM)

(TORANAGA) Mariko...

My master orders me to leave.
You are to remain here, Anjin-san.

Ah! "Open it." Wakarimasu.

You wanted to see me.

Yes.

(TORANAGA SPEAKS)

Domo, Toranaga-sama.

I want your holy oath, priest, that
what you hear will never be repeated.

Or?

Or nothing will be said.

Perhaps that might be better,
but you have my oath.

Then let me hear it before God.

I solemnly swear before God that
what I hear will never pass my lips again.

Nor shall you write it, nor convey it
in any fashion. Swear to that.

As you have just spoken, so do I swear.

I humbly ask that
you grant a divorce to the Lady Toda.

I humbly ask for her hand in marriage.

You can't be serious.

Ask him. In my words.

(ALVITO TRANSLATES)

(TORANAGA REPLIES ANGRILY)

"That is a very presumptuous request."

Lord Toranaga forbids you
to ever speak of it again.

"That is all."

Hai, Toranaga-sama.

Kinjiru.

Wakarimasu.
