[speaking Japanese]

The Black Ship will bring us
out of Osaka, but you must stay.

- [distant shouting]
- Fuck this.

[screaming]

[laughing]

Which is a very great honor.

My lord would like to
race you to the shore.

But I warn you not
to let him win.

- My lord hates that.
- I wouldn't dare.

Whose army is that?

Yabushige-sama's.

All loyal to Toranaga-sama.

Let's hope so.

[chuckles softly]

[shouting and cheering]

[cheering]

Eh...

[chuckles]

Anjin-sama, this is Omi-sama,
the lord of this village.

[Blackthorne]
Actually, we've met.

And fuck yourself,

you sniveling little shit rag.

[busy chatter]

Uh...

The men, from the hold.

Have you seen them?

Are they safe?

Muraji. Hai?

Hai. Welcome, Anjin-sama.

Uh...

My men.

- I'd like to see them now, my...
- Uh...

Where are they?

I-I'm sorry, I-I don't, um...

Look, maybe you can

help me, here?

What now? Let go.

[Mariko] I am afraid
you are forbidden

from boarding
without permission.

My own ship?

If there is
something you need...

Oh, there is, yes.

My pistols and my men.

I keep asking to see them.

Your men were brought to
Toranaga-sama's city of Edo

for their safety.

As for your guns, we can fetch
them if it becomes necessary.

Now look here, Mariko,

your lord and I
had an arrangement.

That ship and its crew

now belong to me.

You're quite mistaken.

Your ship and crew now
belong to Toranaga-sama,

and he will use
them as he wishes.

Well, thank you for the

clarification.

[sighs]

[busy ch.

Anjin-sama, this is
Uejirou, the gardener.

Uh...

Konnichiwa, Uejirou-sama.

Sorry, we do not use
"sama" for Uejirou.

It is not proper.

Ah.

Your house is ready
for inspection.

Right this way.

My house?

Everything here
has been prepared

specially by your staff.

My staff?

You will find your sleeping room
as well as Fuji-sama's room.

And the guest room
where I will be staying.

Perhaps you would like some
tea after your long journey.

Why have I been given all this?

It is only fitting
for a hatamoto.

No, w-wait a minute. How long
am I expected to be here?

Nagakado-sama says training
will take at least six months.

Sorry. Six months?

You agreed to train
these men, you remember.

I do, yes. For the return
of my men and my ship.

Please be patient, Anjin-sama.

As hatamoto, you have
been given a home,

a generous salary of
240 koku a year...

I don't want any
generous cuckoos.

And Fuji-sama as a consort.

Well, I'm sure she's very
nice, but I don't want a woman.

I don't wish to pillow her,
pillow on her, or near...

Or do any damn pillowing at all.

In any case, she will look after
your house and your servants,

handle your financial matters.

To refuse would be a
terrible insult to our lord.

Well, I do refuse.

I refuse all of this.

I came here under clear
terms with Toranaga.

Sorry. Toranaga-sama.

Now he's bloody vanished.

And I'm a bloody
prisoner all over again.

Just with better
living quarters.

[scoffs] Six months.

Six months...

Eh...

[chuckles]

[playing gentle tune]

Eh?

[laughing]

[raspy exhale]

Huh?

[Yabushige scoffs]

You really don't
have to be here.

Go away.

[groans]

She won't let me alone.

Wherever I go, she is.

It is not customary
for one's consort

to sleep while he's awake.

Well, it's a foolish custom.

You should not walk on moss.

It is very disrespectful.

If I may...

I believe Fuji-sama
merits better.

She is my late husband's niece.

Accomplished and highborn.

Well, that's absolutely
wonderful for her.

And recently her husband and
infant son were put to death.

Her husband had
insulted Ishido-sama.

And something had to be done
in order to prevent bloodshed.

Shouldn't she be grieving, then?

Instead of

following around
marooned Englishmen?

We grieve those we have lost
by continuing their fight.

Rubbish.

A child has no fight.

The child's father
served Toranaga-sama.

And now being your consort
allows Fuji-sama to do the same.

It gives her a place.

Well, you'd never know
it to look at her.

Bereaved mother.

Or widow.

Do you know "The
Eightfold Fence"?

From the time we are small,

it is something we are taught
to build within ourselves.

An... impenetrable wall,

behind which we can
retreat whenever we need.

You must train yourself
to listen without hearing.

For instance, you can listen to
the sound of a blossom falling

or the rocks growing.

If you really listen,

your present
circumstance vanishes.

Do not be fooled
by our politeness.

Our bows, our maze of rituals.

Beneath it all

we could be a great
distance away.

Safe.

And alone.

♪ ♪

[Blackthorne] Tell
him he can go to hell.

Omi-sama insists it is forbidden
to bring your weapons today.

Nonsense, your people bring
swords wherever they go.

[Mariko] He says
guns are different.

You must turn them over.

I'm not his prisoner
anymore. Where I come from,

you ask guests to do things.

There is no need for this.

You are protected as hatamoto.

For some reason,
I just can't shake

the memory of our first meeting.

Mariko-sama...

Give the guns to Fuji-sama.

She's your consort.

She will give her
life to defend them.

I can damn well defend myself...

Anjin-sama!

Tell this milk-dribbling
fuck smear I'm ready to go.

[chuckles]

That was very good.

Very good.

[indistinct ch.

Yabushige-sama says his
men do not need to learn

basic skills like loading
or cleaning muskets.

The Portuguese brought
us guns 50 years ago,

we are very experienced with it.

- [grunts]
- [idle chatter]

Yes, of course you are.

He asks about any tactics our
enemies might not yet know.

Right. Tactics.

- [indistinct chatter]
- [horse whinnies]

Well, then, let me tell
you about tactics. [Sighs]

I will begin by describing
for you a great battle.

We call it "The Siege of Malta."

[Blackthorne] 60,000
Islamic Turks,

the cream of the Ottoman Empire,

had come against 600
Christian knights,

supported by a few thousand
Maltese auxiliaries

at their vast castle
complex at St. Elmo.

Now, the knights had
successfully withstood

the six-month siege, and
incredibly, had forced

the enemy to retreat in shame.
We are taught this victory

saved the whole
Mediterranean seaboard

- and thus Christendom...
- Sorry, you said "taught"?

Yes.

When did this battle occur?

Well

35, 40 years ago.

So you, yourself, did
not fight in this battle?

[chuckles]

And you were not even born

when this battle was fought.

Uh...

Perhaps you might start again.

Except this time

describe a battle you
have actually fought in.

Well, as I may have
mentioned to your lord

on multiple occasions,
I'm a sea pilot, yes?

Not a great deal of
infantry battles at sea.

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]

Mariko-sama, please tell him

that in my opinion gun
tactics are useless

compared to the fine art
of English naval warfare.

That castle in Osaka,
it's impregnable.

Yes, with swords,
even matchlocks,

to lay siege would take months.

But anchor my ship and cannon

within a few thousand yards,

and your army could
breach the castle walls

without so much as
an arrow's fletching

- to graze their cheeks.
- Huh?

Just let me demonstrate.

How do I say, um... "back"?

Back?

U-shi-lo.

Ushilo!

[Yabushige] Eh...

Would you mind
hitting the wedge?

[tapping]

Pierce your charge.

Prime. Now, clear the hubs.

Fire!

Clear the hubs and fire!

Oh?

[laughing]

[cackles] Well done.

Well done.

[Yabushige laughing]

Prime.

- [cannon blasts]
- Prime.

[birds singing]

[Blackthorne] This is beautiful.

The men are learning a decent
amount at a decent pace.

Yes.

Toranaga-sama will be pleased.

There are other ways
I could help him.

My Erasmus is a single
ship, but a fleet?

It would be something
else entirely.

My men in Edo could help
me build him a navy.

Forgive me, Anjin-sama, but...

I think you should remember
your oath is to Toranaga-sama.

And not to the orders
that brought you here.

What orders?

Your... crimes against
the Portuguese.

I have read them
in your own words.

It will be useful
for you to know:

Our lord will never be
turned against your enemies.

And it will be useful
for you to be reminded

that we are at war, both
your lord and my queen,

and it happens that we
have enemies in common.

Those were Catholics trying
to kill him in Osaka.

Yes, trying to kill you.

Because they fear
what I can offer him.

A modern navy,

ships built for war,
would be to his benefit.

You have no idea what is or
is not to my lord's benefit.

Well, I suppose

we both have our masters
to serve, don't we?

[rumbling]

Jesus!

- [rumbling subsides]
- The hell was that?

Just a baby earthquake.

A... A b-baby what?

You will most certainly
experience more

while you are here.

There are also tsunami
that come from the sea

and fires that break out
in the villages and cities.

It is why our houses
are built to go up

as quickly as they come down.

Because death is in our air.

And sea and earth.

It can come for
us at any moment.

Before you meddle
with our politics,

just remember

we live and we die.

We control nothing beyond that.

Baby earthquake.

[breathing heavily]

[moaning]

[cannons distantly blasting]

[sighs]

And then...

Number four. Um, uh...

Bring forth a chain
shot, chain shot.

A chain shot.

Yes. Good, yes.

Please, thank you.

Yes.

- [chains rattling]
- Now, the chain shot

increases the radius

within which the damage occurs.

And the nature of
the damage itself.

You'll see, you'll see.

And uhsa. That's it.

[indistinct chatter]

And clear, and there we are.

[panicked shouting]

[horse whinnies]

What's... going on?

[horses chuffing]

[breathing heavily]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[shouting orders]

Yabushige...

[sighs]

And so the regents in Osaka

are pressuring Yabushige?

He'll be declared a fugitive
for refusing their order, but

if he returns to Osaka,

he will no doubt be
ordered to commit seppuku.

Eat, please.

What have you got there?

This may be not for you.

How do you mean?
Let me try some.

Mariko-sama,

would you mind telling Fuji
something on my behalf?

I wanted to apologize
for the way I behaved

when I was first brought here.

I believe this is

how you offer gifts, so
excuse my crude wrapping.

I'd like to thank her for her
excellent service to this house.

I ask that she accept this gift
as a gesture of my gratitude.

Those are the best
guns a sailor can have

and I'll miss that one greatly,

but if she's one to do her job
well, she'll need the best.

I'll teach her how to use them.

She'll be the most fearsome
lady in the Japans.

Did I offend her?

Fuji-sama, as your consort,

would like you to carry
her family swords.

They're a symbol of her
late father's bravery.

I can't accept this.

Fuji-sama rightly points
out that as hatamoto,

it is not proper for you
to have no swords to carry.

So you must accept.

[Blackthorne]
Gozarimasuru, gozarimasuru.

I'll get it right one
of these bloody days.

I remind you that

you are under no obligation
to try this dish.

Mmm.

Mmm.

It's a bit like cheese.

Very stinky.

Possibly spoiled cheese.

But, uh

quite enjoyable.

[liquid pouring]

[pouring]

Gozarimasu.

Gozarimasuru.

Gozarimasuru. Gozarimasuru.

Beautiful.

[gasps] Oh.

- Shit.
- Sorry.

Fuji-sama said you
were off on a walk.

Yes, I was.

I am happy to see you have
changed your mind about bathing.

Would you care to sit?

I came here to thank you
for your gift to Fuji-sama.

It was very meaningful
for her to receive.

As her gift was to me.

I also wanted you to know

you were wrong about
my service in Ajiro.

It has nothing to
do with the Church.

Oh.

Go on.

I have not told
you my family name.

But it is well known in Japan.

Many years ago

a great injustice stole
everything from me.

For a long time...

I have been unable to seek
resolution for what happened.

But recently, Toranaga-sama
offered me a way.

What sort of resolution?

You said

your houses here
are designed to be

rebuilt as quickly as
they are destroyed.

So if a house is ruined,

and rebuilt and ruined
and rebuilt 50 times over,

I see it... Uh, I fail
to see it as ruins.

I see only a house.

And here I see much woman.

And one who owes
me no explanations.

What is the name of it, again,

the city of your birth?

London.

London...

A city like Osaka?

Well

a city, yes, but

nothing like Osaka.

It's crowded.

Filthy.

Plenty to do, though.

What would you do there,

on a night like this?

Well, if you were with me,

all the way from the Japans,

I'd take you to see my queen.

Would she receive us?

Oh, yes, I'm sure.

And we'd tour the grounds
at Richmond Palace.

[chuckles]

Sit down for a stuffy dinner,
and then to make up for it,

I'd take us all to see a play.

- Do you have plays here?
- Hm, yes.

They're very popular.

They're quite sad
and... tragic, mostly.

Yes, we have tragedies.

Doomed lovers, cursed kings.

And after that?

Suppose we'd go for a walk.

Yes.

Sanpo o suru.

Sanpo o...

- Suru.
- Suru.

We'd sanpo o suru...
along the Thames.

It's a big river. Runs
right through the city.

And at night, it's really,
it's quite something, and

you can almost forget yourself.

And all your troubles
and your past and

all the ways life seems to

leave you wrecked.

They all just disappear.

And then you are free.

Yes.

I think so.
