[Toranaga, in Japanese]
Previously on Shogun.

[grunting]

[Ochiba] Your father
treasures you.

We're prisoners to that woman.

You must stop these games.

Promise to release the hostages.

[in English] I now wish to forge
allegiances benefiting this country.

I just need a new
banner to sail under.

You wish to sail on
Yabushige-sama's behalf?

Which is more important?

Survival of our clan, or Japan?

Do not give up on our lord.

Even when it appears he
has given up on himself.

- [Toranaga] Hiromatsu...
- [groaning]

knew his duty well.

Now are you ready
to do your part?

I'm ready.

[wind howling]

[whimpering]

[samurai 1 speaking Japanese]

[whimpers]

[samurai 2 speaking Japanese]

[samurai 3 speaking Japanese]

[samurai 1 speaks Japanese]

[samurai 4 speaks Japanese]

[samurai 1 speaks Japanese]

[samurai 3 speaks Japanese]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[samurai 1] She's been
caught three times now.

Her father was the
treacherous Akechi Jinsai.

She's the last of his line.

Her husband showed her mercy,
yet still she seeks death.

[Martin] May I sit
with her alone?

[breathes shakily]

[in English] Mariko-sama, is it?

In my culture, we
would say Maria.

[in Japanese] A beautiful name.

[breathes shakily]

[Martin] You are too
young to be this sad.

I'm not much older.

I've known sadness and loss too.

But I believe God
spared me for a purpose.

And now he's spared you.

[in English] Our Father,
who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,

thy will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil...

[in Japanese] For when
you have no words,

and you just need
something to hold onto.

[breathes shakily]

[breathes heavily]

[boat creaks]

[samurai 1 speaks Japanese]

[samurai 2 speaking Japanese]

[Blackthorne] Well, we're
making our approach.

[Mariko] Yes.

Why did he send you here?

It has nothing to do with you.

We are simply traveling
to Osaka at the same time.

Well, my life is mine
and yours is yours.

[speaks Japanese]

[Blackthorne, in English] Ah,
your friends are back from Macao

with the overpriced silk they traded for
criminally underpriced Japanese silver.

True friends of the Jappos.

[grunts]

Tell him as soon as we arrive at the
castle we'll be met by Ishido's men.

He's to remain close.

You are instructed to stay close once
you are met by Ishido-sama's men.

[speaks Japanese]

[in Japanese] You
translated honestly?

[chuckles]

I did.

I hate this fucking city.

[samurai 1 speaks Japanese]

[samurai 2 speaking Japanese]

[samurai speaks Japanese]

[in English] Lord Ohno's family.

Everyone in the castle is
now a hostage to Ishido-sama.

If a member from every noble family
is trapped here, none can oppose him.

[speaks Japanese]

We'll meet Lord Ishido tomorrow.

I want you there with me.

No.

We'll make our proposal then.

Understand?

- Uh... Lord Ishido.
- Mmm.

Mmm.

- Tomorrow. Yes.
- [grunts]

- [grunts]
- Yabushige, thank you for trusting me.

When I deliver to you the Catholic
gold, you won't regret it.

Do you understand?

[sighs]

Certainly.

- [chuckles]
- Mmm.

[in English] Well,
we're together again.

Get some rest, Anjin-sama.

[grunts]

[Kiri, in Japanese] It's
true... you're here.

I apologize for
the tight quarters.

We had to give up rooms
for Lord Otomo's family.

I'm so sorry for
what you've endured.

[baby coos]

And Lady Shizu, welcoming
a son in this cruel place.

I wish I could
have been with you.

[baby fussing]

Is there word from
Lord Toranaga?

Let's hope this works.

[priest sniffs, in English] You
are certain it was the heretic?

[laughs] It's hard to miss the foul
smell coming off of the galley.

Whole escort of
Jappers with him.

And the lady translator too.

- Lady Maria?
- Mmm. Your little friend. [Laughs]

Toranaga is planning something.

We have got to find
out what it is.

[sighs]

I do not think the heretic
is here on Toranaga's behalf.

When I was in Edo, he
had been cut loose.

Toranaga has given up.

Or you are blind
to their trickery.

This felt different.

His most loyal vassal killed
himself right in front of him.

If John Blackthorne is here,

it is only because he is
trying to find his own way out.

Tempest in a bottle.

War is coming.

[Yabushige, in Japanese]
What a handsome gift.

Show me your bow.

[sighs]

No, not like that.

If we're going to
win over our enemies,

the least you can
do is bow right.

Your back, here! That's it.

What are you doing?

You show him how.

[grunts, speaks Japanese]

[chuckles]

[grunts]

Good, great! Great. That's it.

- Why...
- Mmm.

Now, don't speak.

And don't disappoint.

[speaks Japanese, chuckles]

[guest 1 speaks Japanese]

[guest 2 speaking Japanese]

[Kiyama] Ah, Yabushige. I see
you made good time from Edo.

How kind of you to
return my prisoner.

My pleasure.

But he isn't for you.

He wishes to pledge
himself to Ishido.

After all, no one lord should
possess all the guns in Japan

wouldn't you agree?

[scoffs]

It won't matter.

The barbarian will soon be
at the mercy of the Church.

Carry on with your boring
Christian squabbles.

But don't wrinkle him.

He's mine.

[grunts]

[in English] Good evening.

I am Kiyama Ukon Sadanaga.

Member of the
Council of Regents.

Ah, yes. The most humble
servant of the Lord on high.

And a servant of the Portuguese.

Which comes first? God
or your purse strings?

I don't trouble myself too
much with the matters of faith.

I am, however, a
student of trade.

- [sighs]
- And I can tell you that

we have quite enough pirate
merchants in this country already.

Your kind arrived here too late.

My kind?

But I'm not a pirate.

[samurai 3 speaks Japanese]

[speaking Japanese]

Welcome, Yabushige.

On Lord Toranaga's behalf,
I surrender to the Council.

And offer my condolences for the
death of the Taikō's brilliant wife.

Hollow words from a traitor.

As I once explained
to Nebara Jozen,

I was deceived into leading
Toranaga out of Osaka.

Was that before or after you
were deceived into killing him?

[Yabushige groans, sighs]

If you wish for my
head, you shall have it.

But before that, might you
take a look at my gift.

The Anjin was once
Toranaga's prized hatamoto.

Now he is loyal to me.

He's well-trained,

and an excellent sea captain.

The Heir has no
interest in a barbarian.

Dismissed.

[speaks Japanese]

[sighs, speaks Japanese]

Bow.

Move back.

We tried, Anjin. I don't know...

[Yabushige sighs]

[samurai 3 speaks Japanese]

[Ishido] Welcome back
to Osaka, Lady Mariko.

I congratulate you
and Ochiba no kata

on your joyous engagement.

I'm surprised you joined this
spineless traitor on his journey.

Do you bring news of
Toranaga's progress from Edo?

Only that my lord still mourns.

Naturally, he has been devastated
by the death of his son.

He has others.

[chuckles]

It's a pleasure to
see you, Mariko.

It's been too long.

Yes.

Since we were girls.

Mariko and I spent many
years in Azuchi together.

Do you remember how we used to
compete in poetry competitions?

I remember.

In Daiyoin's memory,

there will be a
poetry competition.

If you could choose
the first line,

it would be a great honor.

I think it should be...

While the snow remains.

Veiled in the haze
of cold evening.

A leafless branch...

Excellent.

If a bit bleak.

It will give us something
to look forward to

amidst all this
death and treachery.

Unfortunately, I
won't be competing.

What are you saying?

I'm sorry,

but I will not be here.

I'm leaving Osaka tomorrow with
Kiri no kata and Shizu no kata.

[people murmuring]

Leaving for where, Mariko?

[Mariko] To meet our
liege lord in Edo.

He has requested I
escort them myself.

He...

Toranaga will be here in
a few weeks, as you said.

It's been months since the Lady
Shizu has seen Lord Toranaga.

And my lord hasn't yet
seen his newest son.

Lady Mariko...

Let's find another time to
discuss this private matter.

Perhaps you can call on us...

Thank you, but no.

I am leaving tomorrow.

You forget your manners!

Forgive me,

that was the last
thing I intended.

I will return with my lord on the
day we are required to be in Osaka.

Unless we are confined here.

No one is confined here.

But since you choose to speak
in this outrageous fashion,

it is my duty to ask the
Regents for a formal review.

Lord Kiyama?

What do you think?

I agree.

Good.

Mariko will remain
here until then.

I would be honored...

[sighs]

However

my first duty is to my liege
lord, and I am ordered to leave.

[Ishido] You will be patient!

I cannot delay my departure,
even for a little time.

The matter is closed!

The matter is closed

when you have the
manners to let me finish.

I am no peasant
to be trodden on.

I am daughter of
the great Lord...

Akechi Jinsai.

My line has been samurai
for a thousand years,

and I will never be captive,
or hostage, or confined.

I am free to go as I please

as is anyone.

You will await the
meeting of the Regents.

There is nothing
more to discuss.

[Yabushige] What in the name
of all gods possessed you?

Has your mind left you?

And is this body
of yours... stupid?

[huffs]

[Mariko] So sorry.

[Yabushige exclaims]

Tonight was unexpected.

[scoffs]

You knew exactly
what you were doing.

On Toranaga's behalf.

I know it, Ishido knows it...

[pants]

What are Toranaga's plans?

I can help him, we
can do this together.

Tell me your orders!

- Yabushige.
- What is it!

It is not my intention
to disrupt your peace.

Or any peace.

[Yabushige, Blackthorne grunt]

I suppose this one's part of it.

- [Yabushige speaks Japanese]
- The Anjin is here on his own business.

[grunts]

I'm sorry, but please excuse me.

[speaks Japanese]

I am very tired from the day.

[scoffs]

"Leafless branch"...
what a terrible poem.

Who writes about leafless
branches in the spring?

[huffs]

- Come on, idiot!
- [speaks Japanese]

[breathing heavily]

[in English] Why
have you done this?

I need rest.

I must leave in the morning.

But you can't leave.

They'll stop you.

Judging by the armed guards
everywhere I look, probably by force.

Then Ishido-sama would be
admitting I remain here by force.

As well as every lord and lady
being kept prisoner in this castle.

You'd walk into a sword just
to prove the blade is sharp.

Please, Anjin-sama,

you must not involve yourself.

Can you do this,

for the sake of everything
we have been through?

[breathes shakily]

[son, in Japanese] As your son,

I am concerned for our house.

I am only doing my duty.

To whom?

Your family?

It's difficult to explain.

[in English] What
about your duty to God?

Please, Lord Kiyama's a fellow
Christian of highest rank.

He asks you to remain in Osaka.

He says that our families are
one under the banner of God

which is why I am to become
betrothed to his granddaughter.

We serve Toranaga-sama.

You will marry as
our lord instructs.

[sighs]

[son] I am tired of
being in this family.

These things they say about
your name, I am always ashamed.

And for what?

What have I done?

We have nothing to be
ashamed of. [inhales sharply]

Then stop this.

If you try to leave
today, you'll be held.

And if you are disgraced

[in Japanese] then I
am no longer your son.

[Yabushige mumbles]

[sighs]

[whispering]

[baby fussing]

My Lady, are you ready?

Let's go.

[guard 1] Everyone get ready!

We're leaving.

[guard 2] Excuse
me, Lady Mariko,

do you have a permit to leave?

Excuse me, but we require none.

Lord Ishido has instituted
orders throughout the castle.

You must have a permit.

I have been ordered by my lord
to escort his ladies to Edo.

Please let us pass.

I'm sorry, but without a
permit, no lord or his retinue

may leave Osaka Castle.
It is Lord Ishido's order.

You leave me no choice.

Please kill him.

[grunting]

[groans]

The Lady will leave now!

[guard 1 speaks Japanese]

[gasps, grunting]

Miyai, would you
please take charge?

It would be an honor, my Lady.

Kill them!

[shouting, grunting]

[grunts, pants]

I'm honored to have served you.

- [shouts]
- [grunts]

- [chokes]
- [grunts]

[grunts]

[guard 1 speaks Japanese]

[Mariko] Lord
Kiyama, Lord Ohno...

Please order these
men out of my way.

They are not ours to order.

Those men belong to Lord Ishido.

We are powerless.

Then it's true we are all being
kept here against our will.

I will call for a meeting!

I am a vassal of Lord Toranaga
and my orders are clear.

I must be permitted
to obey my lord.

[breathes shakily]

[gasps]

Mariko-sama.

Please get out of my way.

Lady Mariko must not be harmed!

[grunting, panting]

[Mariko grunting, panting]

[screaming]

It is not possible to fight
through all these men.

We must go back.

However

these men have prevented me from
doing my duty to my liege lord

and I cannot live
with the offense.

I will take my life at sunset.

[sighs]

Lord Kiyama.

As a Christian, you understand

it is a mortal sin
to take my own life.

I formally ask that
you be my second.

[speaks Japanese]

I am obligated to her
as a fellow Christian.

Otherwise she faces
eternal damnation.

That is her choice.

[Ohno] It's a bluff.

She won't forfeit her
eternal soul with suicide.

[Ochiba] You're all wrong.

Lady Mariko will do as she says.

It is her vengeance.

On fate.

On all of us.

She will die to be free of the
disgrace that has burdened her.

And then all of Osaka will be
disgraced for letting her die.

[chuckles]

A bit extreme, don't you think?

What is your counsel?

I have no counsel
for you, Lord Ishido.

If you allow her to die,

there will be a revolt from
every high family in Osaka.

If you allow her to leave,

the hostages will
also demand to leave.

Ishido's men began
locking all the palaces

we managed to
leave just in time.

We ask for the honor of joining
you in waiting for Lady Mariko.

We are pleased to have you.

The Anjin has been summoned
for an audience with the Heir.

[bell tolling]

[chuckles]

I'm told your
Japanese is decent.

Can you understand me?

Yes.

But I respectfully request
you use simple words.

A prepared phrase.

Smart of you.

I wonder if Mariko
taught you that.

Thank you for coming.

The Heir requested an
audience with the Anjin.

As we need a translator,
I asked you to come.

[in English] She asks
of me to translate.

It is a ruse to
bring me before her.

Please let her speak.

[in Japanese] It would be
an honor if I can be of use.

The Anjin thanks the
Heir for this audience.

These games must stop.

I play no games.

I have only my duty to uphold.

You can't bring nobility to
your lord's warmongering.

By being a worm on
Toranaga's lure,

you will not win your freedom.

[Mariko] So sorry,
but you're mistaken.

My lord wishes only
to end this fight.

[Ochiba] Would you
translate for the Anjin?

I want him to understand the
relationship we once had.

When we were girls, Mariko
did everything well.

She always knew where to stand,

when to leave the room
without being asked.

It was easy for her.

[in English] She talks about
our childhood together.

She and I grew up like sisters.

[in Japanese] But our fathers
were enemies, you see.

Their misery was ours.

Wars raged, even in our castle.

But I had Mariko.

She was my happiness.

And then she was sent away.

For years, I couldn't recognize this
woman I was told she'd become...

That Mariko, in
her father's name,

wished to become a martyr...

But I see her now.

The girl who did
everything right,

with anger growing in her chest.

All she seeks is destruction.

Aren't you tired of all this?

What should I do?

Surrender to some
pointless death?

Wither like your
"leafless branch"?

Only you can end the games
you accuse me of playing.

[Ochiba] I don't
have that power.

I don't exist, except
to protect my son.

Tell me, how will piercing
your heart protect your son?

[in English] We should go now.

[in Japanese] Accepting
death isn't surrender.

Flowers are only flowers
because they fall.

[in English] Toranaga has thousands
of warriors at his disposal.

[panting] Vassals coming
out of his kosode.

It's the mark of a coward to
send a woman to do his bidding.

You misunderstand him.

[samurai 5 speaks Japanese]

[in English] No, I understand perfectly.
He's taking advantage of your loyalty.

Your life is worth
more than this.

Life and death are the same.

Both can have value and purpose.

Only one is permanent.

You have nothing to
prove to these people.

You've made your point.

There's no need to die for it.

There is every need.

It is the very reason
my father kept me alive.

What I'm asking...

What I'm begging is,
if not for good sense,

if not for God, then will
you consider living for me?

[panting]

A message from Lord Ishido.

[speaks Japanese]

Your offer of service
instead of death

he accepts.

But he has a request...

[groans]

[Martin, in English] All these years,
you still have your cross with you.

Your mind is set again.

Yes, it is.

I wish to be confessed.

Then speak it here.

[Mariko] Bless me,
Father, for I have sinned.

But I can only confess that
I am not worthy to confess.

Daughter of God, I wish I
could say proper Mass for you.

But here we have no
altar or vestments.

Then let us drink
cha from an empty cup

for all the years we have known each other
and for the little time that is left.

[singing in Latin]

[shouts]

[shouts]

[in Japanese] I, Toda Mariko,

daughter of Akechi Jinsai,

leave this poem as
my final statement.

Lord Kiyama, please come
forward to second me.

[grunts]

[in English] I will do it.

Hell is no place I
haven't already known.

Let it from your mind.

Please wait until I have fallen.

[breathes shakily]

[breathing shakily]

[Ishido speaking in Japanese]

[scoffs]

Your permits.

Stupid as it is to have
to come right back,

you are free to
leave in the morning.

[breathes shakily]

[gasps]

[hostage] Lord Ishido!

I also ask to leave.

And me. With my family.

May we expect safe passage too?

Are we jailers?

No one is hostage
in this castle.

If you wish to leave, then apply for
your permits and it will be done.

A mere woman, threatening
her own suicide,

and flouting the
Heir's welcome...

Disgusting.

[gasps]

[cries, sniffs]

I'm all right, Setsu.

[people chattering, laughing]

[door opens]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

Lord, if you'd like to rest,
we have the watch covered.

[grunts]

I was going to sleep,

but those hens unearthed
all the saké in the castle.

[chuckles]

I suspect they'll
be up all night.

I can understand their
desire to celebrate.

[chuckles]

Go ahead, drink.

I insist.

[grunts]

Good.

[chuckles]

Huh?

What is it?

- [muffled groaning]
- [grunting]

[pants]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[panting]

- [grunts]
- [choking]

[panting]

[grunting]

[samurai] Intruders!

Intruders!

Come quick!

Intruders!

Wake everyone!

[samurai, hostages
shouting in Japanese]

[shouting continues]

[grunting, panting]

[panting]

[in English] Who are they?

Shinobi. They have come for me.

[samurai shouting]

[in Japanese] It's Ishido

he'll never let us leave alive.

They've infiltrated the castle.

Quiet!

[footsteps approaching]

[in English] Listen.

Tell them to move back.

[in Japanese] Step aside.

[panting, whimpering]

[breathing shakily]

[shinobi shouts]

[samurai 2 shouting]

[grunting]

- [person groans]
- [body thuds]

[shinobi shouts]

Look out!

We should go to the dozo.

Its doors will protect us.

No, we should go to the gate!

I will not risk being captured.

[samurai shouting]

Outside, there is a
storehouse with heavy doors.

[shouting, grunting]

[Blackthorne] Yabushige-sama!

[panting, whimpering]

[grunting]

[pounds on door]

[breathing shakily]

[shinobi 2 shouts]

There's nowhere for us to go.

[shinobi 2] Ready the fuses!

[in English] They're
going to blow it open.

[shinobi 2 speaking Japanese]

An explosion will kill us all!

[in English]
Yabushige-sama, help me.

[straining]

Yabushige-sama.

For the love of God, get over here and
help me push this against the damn door!

- [panting]
- [whimpering]

Anjin-sama.

[straining]

Let it come.

[shinobi 1 speaks Japanese]

[grunts]

[Blackthorne] For God's sake, help
me push this against the door!

[grunting]

- [in Japanese] I, Akechi Mariko...
- Mariko-sama, get away from the door.

[in Japanese] ...protest this
shameful attack by Lord Ishido...

Lady Mariko, get over here!

And by my death...

Mariko-sama!
