TOEI COMPANY LTD.
2
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:21,670
LADY KASUGA (Jotei Kasuga no Tsubone )
3
00:00:43,970 --> 00:00:48,200
SEKIGAHARA FIELD - 1600
4
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,510
The East Force, whichwas led by Tokugawa Ieyasu,
5
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:52,750
gained a signal victory atthe battle in the Sekigahara Field,
6
00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:55,750
one of Japan's greatestcivil wars, which eventually
7
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:57,310
decided the fate of the country.
8
00:00:57,550 --> 00:00:59,390
The East Force owed its victory
9
00:00:59,390 --> 00:01:01,690
to the betrayal of Kobayakawa Hideaki,one of the warlords which had
10
00:01:01,690 --> 00:01:03,350
participated in the West Force.
11
00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:15,930
My lord, Kobayakawa Hideaki is here!
12
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,540
Hideaki is?
13
00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:20,340
Tell him to wait.
14
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,480
Welcome, Hideaki. I'm glad you could come.
15
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,880
Come here. What are you doing?
16
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:35,580
Give him a stool!
17
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:38,650
Come on, be seated.
18
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,220
Sir Hideaki, I shall never forget what you did for us today.
19
00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:48,730
I'm more than pleased that you joined us.
20
00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:51,800
I appreciate it.
21
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,470
I'm very grateful.
22
00:01:58,350 --> 00:01:59,810
Thank you, my lord.
23
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:04,850
I'm taking sides with you because I believe that no one else but
24
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:08,910
you could be the supreme ruler of the world in these turbulent times.
25
00:02:11,790 --> 00:02:13,450
Well said, Hideaki.
26
00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:17,290
Sir Hideaki...
27
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,930
From now on, I shall regard you as my son.
28
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:25,500
Thank you!
29
00:02:39,220 --> 00:02:44,590
So, you are Inaba Masanari, the major-domo to Hideaki, right?
30
00:02:46,030 --> 00:02:46,990
Yes, my lord.
31
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,000
You are?
32
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,520
I hear that you were the first attacker to the enemy force.
33
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,090
Is that right?
34
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:58,870
Masanari is the bravest person in my clan.
35
00:02:59,210 --> 00:03:02,440
He beheaded three of the enemy generals.
36
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:04,370
As many as three generals?
37
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:11,950
I envy you Hideaki, because you are favored with such a good retainer.
38
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:20,260
Masanari, you can come to me whenever you feel like it.
39
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,870
I shall employ you with the annual stipend of 50,000 koku,
40
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:25,960
no, 100,000 koku of rice!
41
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,530
Oh, I was only joking.
42
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:34,730
If I took you away, Sir Hideaki would be enraged.
43
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:40,880
Kobayakawa Hideaki waspromoted to the greatest feudal lord
44
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,750
in the western part of Japan.
45
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,290
And Inaba Masanari enjoyeda high annual stipend of
46
00:03:46,290 --> 00:03:47,980
20,000 koku of rice.
47
00:03:48,190 --> 00:03:51,180
But only two years later...
48
00:03:52,460 --> 00:03:55,950
Hideaki abruptly wentout of his mind and died.
49
00:03:56,330 --> 00:03:58,890
The Kobayakawa clan became extinct.
50
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,140
The world laughed at the clan,saying that the incident was
51
00:04:02,140 --> 00:04:03,500
a just reward for their betrayal.
52
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,270
All his retainers, includingInaba Masanari, lost
53
00:04:06,270 --> 00:04:08,210
their jobs all at once.
54
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,540
FUSHIMI CASTLE, KYOTO
55
00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:29,600
The wife of Inaba Masanariwas called Ofuku.
56
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,240
Are you thinking that you can see the Shogun directly anytime
57
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,270
now that you are in his castle?
58
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,940
Pardon?
59
00:04:48,020 --> 00:04:51,920
Even lords with a stipend of 100,000 koku of rice
60
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,120
are awaiting their turns.
61
00:04:57,460 --> 00:05:02,590
Is that so? I humbly apologize for my innocence.
62
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:09,800
However, my husband received very kind words from the Shogun
63
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,830
at the time of the Sekigahara Battle.
64
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:18,450
I would be extremely grateful if you could kindly announce
65
00:05:18,450 --> 00:05:21,380
me to the Shogun, sir.
66
00:05:26,850 --> 00:05:28,950
Will you wait here?
67
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:30,410
Certainly, sir.
68
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,120
She's nice.
69
00:06:11,570 --> 00:06:14,160
Inaba Ofuku...
70
00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:16,330
Come with me.
71
00:06:16,770 --> 00:06:17,830
Certainly.
72
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:56,030
Would you please take off your clothes?
73
00:06:58,310 --> 00:06:59,750
Hurry.
74
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:05,850
Do you plan to meet the Shogun without cleaning yourself?
75
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,290
So you are Inaba Masanari's wife Ofuku?
76
00:07:48,830 --> 00:07:50,490
You are as beautiful as I'd heard!
77
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:51,620
Let me go!
78
00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:54,330
How unreasonable!
79
00:07:54,770 --> 00:07:56,670
What are you doing?
80
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,810
Your Excellency, are you all right?
81
00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:03,570
Yes, I am all right. Leave us alone.
82
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,740
Insolent!
83
00:08:04,950 --> 00:08:06,050
Stop it! - Someone, come!
84
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:07,510
What are you saying?! I told you to leave!
85
00:08:07,650 --> 00:08:08,680
Leave!
86
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,310
But... - Leave! Get out!
87
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,320
You made a bump on the head of this Ieyasu.
88
00:08:19,230 --> 00:08:21,700
That was very courageous of you.
89
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,900
But, Ofuku, you cannot resist me for a second time.
90
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,800
I shall not resist, Your Excellency.
91
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,240
I shall obey you.
92
00:08:42,450 --> 00:08:47,490
But, in return for it,
93
00:08:47,490 --> 00:08:52,360
I would be grateful if you could promise...
94
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:56,660
that you will employ my husband Inaba Masanari.
95
00:08:59,770 --> 00:09:01,830
Ofuku...
96
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:07,440
what did he get paid when he was serving
97
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,170
the Kobayakawa clan?
98
00:09:13,550 --> 00:09:16,750
He was given a stipend of 20,000 koku of rice.
99
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:19,450
As much as 20,000 koku?
100
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:23,490
That's a little too much.
101
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:27,530
I'm told that, at the time of the Sekigahara Battle,
102
00:09:27,530 --> 00:09:33,190
you said that my husband deserved a 100,000 koku.
103
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:40,340
He is still young...
104
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,870
And I'm not certain that this is not a bad deal.
105
00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:46,070
Ofuku...
106
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:53,950
You are also a very good negotiator, aren't you?
107
00:09:54,990 --> 00:09:58,220
I like it. I like you.
108
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:05,860
It's been such a long time since I became excited so much.
109
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Now, come.
110
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:36,700
Young lady, hand on!
111
00:10:37,830 --> 00:10:38,470
Young lady, you are good!
112
00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:39,930
EDO CASTLE - 1605 Young lady, you are good!
113
00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:40,130
EDO CASTLE - 1605
114
00:10:40,130 --> 00:10:41,500
EDO CASTLE - 1605 One more time!
115
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,200
EDO CASTLE - 1605
116
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:47,230
I heard that Lord Hidetada's wife is pregnant.
117
00:10:47,340 --> 00:10:50,000
Is she expecting a baby?
118
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:55,220
In these days, the master ofEdo castle was Lord Hidetada,
119
00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:57,740
the third eldest son of Ieyasu.
120
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,320
But actually he was amere feudal lord ruling only
121
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,820
the Musashi province.
122
00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:04,330
The actual politicalpower still lay in the hands
123
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:06,520
of Ieyasu who lived in Kyoto.
124
00:11:06,660 --> 00:11:12,100
My lord, you and your wife live very happily together,
125
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,230
and you have many children.
126
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:18,410
But they are all girls, including your eldest
127
00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:21,310
daughter, Princess Sen.
128
00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:26,050
Under these circumstances, the Shogun is waiting
129
00:11:26,050 --> 00:11:28,040
for a son to be born.
130
00:11:29,380 --> 00:11:32,490
He said that when you are favored with a son,
131
00:11:32,490 --> 00:11:35,920
who will be your successor, he shall be named 'Takechiyo',
132
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,620
the name of the Shogun when he was a child.
133
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,290
Is that so?
134
00:11:40,390 --> 00:11:42,620
My father will give him his name?
135
00:11:43,230 --> 00:11:46,630
What a kind and thoughtful consideration!
136
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,760
Oeyo, you must have a boy at any cost, then.
137
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,180
Despite your words, it is God's or Buddha's business to decide
138
00:11:56,180 --> 00:11:59,080
whether the coming child will be a boy or a girl.
139
00:11:59,310 --> 00:12:01,680
There is nothing I can do about it.
140
00:12:03,050 --> 00:12:05,540
You are logically right, but...
141
00:12:05,890 --> 00:12:08,990
The prophet says that this year falls on
142
00:12:08,990 --> 00:12:12,560
a very fortunate one for Lord Hidetada and his wife,
143
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:16,390
and that they will most certainly be favored with a male child this year.
144
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,160
I wish it to come true.
145
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,500
The family master of the Tokugawa has no successor...
146
00:12:25,740 --> 00:12:31,240
although we have been waiting such a long time.
147
00:12:32,380 --> 00:12:36,710
My father-in-law in Kyoto doesn't like me from the first.
148
00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:42,660
Because I'm the sister of Lady Yodo in Osaka...
149
00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:47,050
Because the late Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced you to marry me...
150
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,590
he detests me.
151
00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:52,360
Oeyo, what are you saying?
152
00:12:52,570 --> 00:12:53,800
My lord...
153
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,140
I shall have a male child!
154
00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:02,940
If my wish cannot be granted, I shall kill myself!
155
00:13:03,980 --> 00:13:07,110
Masanobu, tell the Shogun so!
156
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:20,320
Very well, my lady...
157
00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:28,330
I want a successor very badly myself.
158
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:30,900
Is that your goal?
159
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:38,370
But it is beyond me.
160
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:45,240
Minbu, render him hearty hospitality.
161
00:13:45,550 --> 00:13:46,610
Yes, my lord.
162
00:13:58,930 --> 00:14:05,400
Lord Honda, I cannot disregard what you said a while ago.
163
00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:09,910
Rumor has it that the Shogun said he would not give away
164
00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:13,110
his post to such an incapable man as could not even have a male child.
165
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:14,670
That's the trouble.
166
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,190
The Shogun is already 60 years old, but he has had
167
00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:27,150
three more sons lately: Goro-maru, Chofuku-maru and Tsuruchiyo.
168
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,200
It is said that people hold their children especially
169
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,400
dear when they have the children when they are old.
170
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,770
The Shogun is no exception.
171
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,740
The young mothers are pushing him, too,
172
00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:42,510
and he seems to be wondering which of his sons he should select
173
00:14:42,510 --> 00:14:45,170
as his successor.
174
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:49,350
But the three sons in Fushimi are only small,
175
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:53,520
and it will take at least ten more years to hold their
176
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,510
coming-of-age ceremonies.
177
00:14:56,690 --> 00:14:59,160
And no matter how healthy the Shogun may be,
178
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,030
he won't live that long.
179
00:15:01,030 --> 00:15:04,230
That's why he thinks that he should select
180
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:06,290
his successor quickly.
181
00:15:09,870 --> 00:15:16,810
But, it goes without saying that Lord Hidetada who lives
182
00:15:16,810 --> 00:15:19,880
in this castle is closer than anyone else to the post
183
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,580
of the second Shogun.
184
00:15:22,650 --> 00:15:27,390
That's why Lord Hidetada ought to have his father's
185
00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:33,880
first grandson this time at any cost, do please him.
186
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,730
The child in Lady Oeyo's womb is a boy.
187
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,870
There is no mistake about it.
188
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:44,800
Lady Ohba!
189
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:49,180
As long as deities and Buddha exist, the wish of
190
00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:54,920
Lord Hidetada, Lady Oeyo and us will certainly be
191
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,040
granted some day.
192
00:15:59,450 --> 00:16:07,460
I can see the baby in Lady Oeyo's womb has
193
00:16:07,460 --> 00:16:10,360
the spirit between its small legs. I can see the baby in Lady Oeyo's womb has
194
00:16:10,930 --> 00:16:15,330
I can see it clearly.
195
00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:22,360
TAGUCHI VILLAGE, MINO PROVINCE
196
00:16:27,180 --> 00:16:28,770
Hey, Shichi!
197
00:16:31,420 --> 00:16:33,440
Tsume, come back!
198
00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:34,610
Wait!
199
00:16:34,690 --> 00:16:35,850
Young Lord Senkuma!
200
00:16:38,930 --> 00:16:39,920
Wait!
201
00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:41,450
Hey, Shichi!
202
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:43,190
Wait!
203
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,420
Wait!
204
00:16:54,540 --> 00:16:57,740
You fighting again? That's enough!
205
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:04,780
Shichinojo, stop it!
206
00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:11,990
That hurts!
207
00:17:12,260 --> 00:17:13,390
You surrender?
208
00:17:13,390 --> 00:17:15,760
Mother, Tsume hit me!
209
00:17:16,130 --> 00:17:17,800
That's because you hit my buttocks!
210
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,100
Be a good boy...
211
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,960
Are you hungry?
212
00:17:25,710 --> 00:17:29,800
Your mother will give you milk very soon.
213
00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:38,050
That's all for today. You may go and play.
214
00:17:38,050 --> 00:17:39,110
Thank you!
215
00:17:40,090 --> 00:17:42,420
That baby is really cute.
216
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,590
You will be able to have one before long, too.
217
00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:49,890
Mother, I'm hungry, too. Give me some food.
218
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:52,290
Wait until supper.
219
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,030
You are a samurai's son, aren't you?
220
00:17:54,130 --> 00:17:55,970
Iwamatsu's drinking milk.
221
00:17:55,970 --> 00:17:58,230
He's still a baby.
222
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,300
And Father is drinking 'saké'.
223
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,880
'Saké'!
224
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:12,020
Give me more 'saké'!
225
00:18:12,250 --> 00:18:15,260
Tsume, will you please see to the baby?
226
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:16,280
Very well.
227
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:25,800
One is for your brother.
228
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:26,890
I know.
229
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,080
My lady, what is the matter?
230
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:54,060
Nothing.
231
00:19:06,540 --> 00:19:08,970
My lady, isn't it morning sickness?
232
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,640
You are expecting!
233
00:19:11,610 --> 00:19:12,870
Nonsense.
234
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:18,850
Well, maybe I'm mistaken.
235
00:19:19,290 --> 00:19:23,590
Since Lord Inaba came home, he's been drinking
236
00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:25,990
all day and every day.
237
00:19:27,090 --> 00:19:28,620
Where's my 'saké'?!
238
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,950
I will bring him the 'saké'.
239
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:45,010
Make a ball of betel nut powder.
240
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,310
And apply peppermint water and mercury to it.
241
00:19:49,950 --> 00:19:57,720
Then use your fingers to insert it deep into your womb
242
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,750
and leave it in there for a night.
243
00:20:01,260 --> 00:20:04,230
Then the fetus goes rotten and flows out.
244
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,030
Give me a silver coin or a 'to' of rice for this trick.
245
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:19,510
My lord, did you know that Lady Inaba is pregnant?
246
00:20:20,550 --> 00:20:22,740
And that she went to see an old lady abortionist?
247
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:25,710
My lord, you are smart, aren't you?
248
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,560
They all say that Lord Inaba lost your capability as a man
249
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,190
together with your stipend of 20,000 koku of rice.
250
00:20:35,030 --> 00:20:36,330
But they are all wrong.
251
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:42,870
Your wife is so beautiful and kind.
252
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,170
And she has many children.
253
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,170
I wish I could have such a lovely child.
254
00:20:51,610 --> 00:20:56,050
Listen, I want your child...!
255
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,870
Hey, Shichi, wait!
256
00:21:26,850 --> 00:21:27,910
Wait!
257
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:48,760
My lord, what's the matter with you?!
258
00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:55,070
My lord, I want your child...
259
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:01,680
My lord, I want a child like your...
260
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,850
Senkuma, Shichinojo and Iwamatsu...
261
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,050
Please!
262
00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:28,040
My lord...!
263
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,480
That hurts!
264
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:39,710
What are you doing?!
265
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:48,390
Damn it! Don't act big!
266
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,900
Your husband is impotent after all!
267
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,330
I know!
268
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,600
I know that you procured abortion by that old woman!
269
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:01,000
Who was the father?
270
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:02,710
A demon?!
271
00:23:07,610 --> 00:23:09,880
I have something to tell you.
272
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:16,110
As Tsume said, I meant to procure abortion.
273
00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:19,220
But I did not have an abortion.
274
00:23:20,590 --> 00:23:24,500
I decided not to.
275
00:23:28,370 --> 00:23:30,340
Please divorce me.
276
00:23:31,870 --> 00:23:34,170
I beseech you!
277
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,330
Who was the father?
278
00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:41,880
I'm asking who the father was!
279
00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:49,820
I will not tell you.
280
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:04,330
Kill yourself!
281
00:24:09,540 --> 00:24:11,100
Commit suicide!
282
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:17,480
No, I have no intention of dying.
283
00:24:17,580 --> 00:24:19,750
What a shameless woman you are!
284
00:24:22,290 --> 00:24:28,130
You have disgraced not only me but the entire Inaba clan.
285
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:31,330
For a woman, children are Heaven-sent treasures.
286
00:24:31,530 --> 00:24:33,690
They cannot be replaced with anything else.
287
00:24:34,970 --> 00:24:37,460
How can I kill my child?
288
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:41,700
Call me an adulteress if you like.
289
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,940
But no matter what you call me, I shall not kill the child in my womb.
290
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:45,000
Shut up!
291
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,740
Damn you!
292
00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:55,180
Are you acting in defiance of your husband?!
293
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:59,530
Yes, I am! I would even fight against deities
294
00:24:59,530 --> 00:25:01,360
or Buddha to shield the child in my womb!
295
00:25:01,430 --> 00:25:02,790
Shut up!
296
00:25:25,850 --> 00:25:27,650
What a shame! Look at yourself!
297
00:25:28,990 --> 00:25:33,590
How can I believe that you were once called the bravest...
298
00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:36,290
warrior in the Inaba clan?
299
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,390
Shut up!
300
00:25:39,030 --> 00:25:40,560
Silence!
301
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:42,500
No, my lord! You mustn't kill your wife!
302
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,300
It's your fault, my lord. You are to blame!
303
00:25:45,370 --> 00:25:46,570
Step aside!
304
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,310
My lady, please forgive me.
305
00:25:56,420 --> 00:25:58,180
Forgive me!
306
00:26:00,790 --> 00:26:06,090
Tsume, I must leave together with the children.
307
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,550
You stay and take care of my husband.
308
00:26:12,030 --> 00:26:14,970
No! I will go with you!
309
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:16,570
No, you won't.
310
00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:18,510
I will go with you.
311
00:26:18,510 --> 00:26:20,530
I will follow you if I have to leave home by myself.
312
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:27,710
I don't want to part from you and your children.
313
00:26:31,220 --> 00:26:33,980
I will work hard for you.
314
00:26:34,590 --> 00:26:38,490
Please! Please take me with you!
315
00:26:41,330 --> 00:26:43,850
What a girl.
316
00:26:46,130 --> 00:26:50,190
EDO CASTLE, INNER PALACE
317
00:26:59,210 --> 00:27:01,680
Kagawa, how is it?
318
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,320
It's already five months since she was delivered of a child.
319
00:27:08,790 --> 00:27:11,690
But she still has plenty of nourishing milk.
320
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,590
Thank you for coming.
321
00:27:19,870 --> 00:27:22,630
I'd appreciate it if you could choose me.
322
00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:34,570
She's the wife of a samurai, isn't she?
323
00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:37,750
Yes, her name is Sato, and she's the wife of
324
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:40,410
Aoki Jonoshin, a samurai with a stipend of 50 koku.
325
00:27:41,290 --> 00:27:44,550
She's a distant relative of Nobleman Sujaku.
326
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,690
How many more women have we left?
327
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,690
Servant of Lady Inaba Ofuku!
328
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,090
Servant of Lady Inaba Ofuku!
329
00:27:53,530 --> 00:27:55,020
Here, madam.
330
00:28:00,570 --> 00:28:01,670
My lady!
331
00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:03,840
Tsume, bring my baby.
332
00:28:04,980 --> 00:28:07,470
The ladies here insist on seeing him.
333
00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:23,690
What a good child! How old is he?
334
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,360
Precisely fifteen days, ma'am.
335
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,540
Did you bring him
336
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:31,030
all the way from Mino to Edo right after he was born?
337
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:33,470
I brought five more children with me.
338
00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:34,730
As many as five?
339
00:28:34,870 --> 00:28:35,910
Right, madam.
340
00:28:35,910 --> 00:28:37,270
How many male children do you have?
341
00:28:37,380 --> 00:28:38,980
Four, madam, including this baby.
342
00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:41,000
The eldest one is seven years old.
343
00:28:41,150 --> 00:28:42,270
Are they all well?
344
00:28:42,350 --> 00:28:44,870
The never fell ill, madam.
345
00:28:46,450 --> 00:28:48,960
Inaba Ofuku happens to be the daughter of Saito Kuranosuke,
346
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,290
the major-domo to Lord Akechi Mitsuhide...
347
00:28:51,290 --> 00:28:54,280
who betrayed his master Lord Oda Nobunaga and assassinated him.
348
00:28:55,230 --> 00:29:00,470
On the other hand, the wife of Lord Tokugawa Hidetada
349
00:29:00,470 --> 00:29:04,060
is the niece of Lord Oda Nobunaga.
350
00:29:05,470 --> 00:29:08,270
In short, they are enemies.
351
00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:11,810
Do you think that it is right to employ such a woman as the nurse of her child?
352
00:29:12,180 --> 00:29:14,840
I recommend Ofuku because she has good milk.
353
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,520
She has delivered four male children and has
354
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,010
reared all of them without losing any of them.
355
00:29:23,890 --> 00:29:27,760
I agree with Grand Lady Ohba myself.
356
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,800
And I hear that Ofuku was educated at the home of
357
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,830
Sanjo-Nishi, one of Japan's highest aristocrats,
358
00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:35,160
when she was a child.
359
00:29:35,470 --> 00:29:36,770
Speaking of family,
360
00:29:36,770 --> 00:29:38,940
Aoki Jonoshin's wife Sato is also from an aristocratic family.
361
00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:42,740
And I heard that she, too, is a woman of ability,
362
00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:45,380
who is very good at martial arts and an excellent scholar
363
00:29:45,380 --> 00:29:46,710
at the same time.
364
00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:49,340
Anyway, we should choose one of these two women.
365
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:53,850
We have no choice but to ask Lord Hidetada to decide.
366
00:29:56,490 --> 00:29:58,820
I suppose...
367
00:29:59,990 --> 00:30:05,330
I'm still worried about what family Ofuku really comes from.
368
00:30:08,030 --> 00:30:09,130
Excuse me.
369
00:30:09,470 --> 00:30:12,270
Lord Hidetada's wife has begun to feel pains.
370
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:16,100
The doctor says she will deliver the baby at midnight.
371
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,940
What? - Why, it's so sudden.
372
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,110
Everyone, get ready!
373
00:30:34,630 --> 00:30:36,560
Lady Ohba...
374
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,800
What's the matter?
375
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:42,990
Lady Minbu, come closer and listen.
376
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,650
What do you plan to do if the coming baby
377
00:30:53,650 --> 00:30:59,240
happens to be another girl?
378
00:30:59,650 --> 00:31:02,250
I will think about it when it actually happens.
379
00:31:02,590 --> 00:31:05,620
I'm more worried about this premature birth of the baby.
380
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:08,530
Lady Minbu, would you please leave everything up to me?
381
00:31:08,530 --> 00:31:11,730
Would you please forget about everything you might
382
00:31:11,730 --> 00:31:13,100
hear or see today?
383
00:31:15,070 --> 00:31:18,630
I wonder what on earth is on your mind?
384
00:31:19,340 --> 00:31:25,110
Even if this new baby happens to be a girl,
385
00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:30,110
we shall rear her as a boy.
386
00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:32,550
What? - Quiet!
387
00:31:33,090 --> 00:31:35,650
Lady Ohba, are you insane?
388
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,860
Staying sane, we cannot compete with the Shogun in Kyoto.
389
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,200
Lord Hidetada is so dear to me,
390
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,930
because I reared him with my own milk.
391
00:31:51,770 --> 00:31:54,170
And you are the chief of the entire ladies-in-waiting
392
00:31:54,170 --> 00:31:56,470
and maid-servants in this inner palace.
393
00:31:56,780 --> 00:31:59,650
Should the post of the second Shogun be taken away by
394
00:31:59,650 --> 00:32:04,080
someone else, it would be the greatest disgrace for both of us.
395
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,550
Still, I do not think it possible to pretend that the girl is a boy.
396
00:32:09,090 --> 00:32:11,990
How could we keep the secret?
397
00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:14,990
We shall use every possible method
398
00:32:14,990 --> 00:32:17,360
to hide the truth and rear the baby.
399
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,540
Should the truth be revealed,
400
00:32:23,540 --> 00:32:25,870
I shall commit suicide to apologize.
401
00:32:25,970 --> 00:32:27,130
Enough!
402
00:32:27,940 --> 00:32:29,770
You are certainly out of your mind!
403
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,810
Lady Minbu! - Say no more!
404
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:33,640
I shall not listen any more!
405
00:33:31,940 --> 00:33:34,170
Sagami, how is Oeyo?
406
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,910
My lord...
407
00:33:35,910 --> 00:33:38,380
They informed me that she is heading for the lying-in room.
408
00:33:38,980 --> 00:33:41,810
Though this is a premature birth, there appears to be
409
00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:44,010
absolutely no problems about her delivery.
410
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,550
She is peacefully waiting for her child to be born.
411
00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:49,180
I wish it to be a boy this time.
412
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,410
In those days, motherswere delivered of their babies,
413
00:34:13,410 --> 00:34:14,850
while taking a sitting posture.
414
00:34:25,930 --> 00:34:29,620
To pray for the healthand longevity of the baby,
415
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,630
it was once deliberately abandoned
416
00:34:31,630 --> 00:34:33,620
and later a specially-selectedman picked it up.
417
00:34:33,870 --> 00:34:40,240
This was the traditionpreserved among samurai families.
418
00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:48,870
The best samurai of allthe retainers was selected.
419
00:34:48,980 --> 00:34:51,680
As another tradition,strong samurai shot arrows
420
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,520
in the four directionsto exorcise evil spirits.
421
00:34:55,490 --> 00:34:59,290
My lady, why are we left alone here?
422
00:34:59,660 --> 00:35:02,720
They have already selected someone else as the nurse, haven't they?
423
00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:04,090
Stop it!
424
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,730
I will bring these home to your sons.
425
00:35:07,170 --> 00:35:09,790
I suppose they are missing us.
426
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,740
My lady.
427
00:35:18,110 --> 00:35:21,380
Ofuku, I'm sorry to have left you for so long.
428
00:35:22,010 --> 00:35:24,720
As a matter of fact, the madam suddenly began
429
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,410
to feel labor pains.
430
00:35:27,050 --> 00:35:31,920
So, at my own discretion, I have kept you here as a nurse.
431
00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:37,630
But, my lady, I hear that someone else has already
432
00:35:37,630 --> 00:35:39,100
been selected as the nurse.
433
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,930
That woman? Forget about her.
434
00:35:41,530 --> 00:35:46,470
In my opinion, I rate you as high; you were courageous
435
00:35:46,470 --> 00:35:52,430
enough to leave your husband and come to Edo with only your children.
436
00:35:53,980 --> 00:35:57,880
I would like you to work for me keeping close
437
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,720
contact with me from now on.
438
00:36:00,020 --> 00:36:01,780
Thank you very much, my lady.
439
00:36:02,220 --> 00:36:05,660
I shall stake my whole heart and body on this work.
440
00:36:07,830 --> 00:36:13,700
By the way, will you give me your baby?
441
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,820
Pardon?
442
00:36:16,970 --> 00:36:22,240
Worry not. I shall rear him by myself.
443
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,540
I hope you do not oppose.
444
00:36:26,810 --> 00:36:30,650
I'm sorry, my lady, but this is so sudden that
445
00:36:30,650 --> 00:36:33,850
I cannot agree to give away my child so easily.
446
00:36:35,590 --> 00:36:38,320
If you are trying to test my loyalty,
447
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,220
it's very unreasonable of you, my lady.
448
00:36:40,330 --> 00:36:41,850
Shut up, Ofuku!
449
00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:47,970
Don't you think it's insolent of you to give the same milk
450
00:36:47,970 --> 00:36:50,770
to Lord Hidetada's child and yours at the same time?
451
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,800
I understand, my lady.
452
00:36:56,410 --> 00:37:04,280
You shall have my baby.
453
00:37:25,740 --> 00:37:27,870
Well, nurse, hurry.
454
00:37:30,910 --> 00:37:31,970
Hurry up.
455
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:09,210
Please try! Hang on, my lady.
456
00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:13,990
You are almost there.
457
00:38:17,490 --> 00:38:19,790
Push, my lady...
458
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,230
A little more, my lady.
459
00:38:33,410 --> 00:38:37,430
It's late. Isn't it taking too long?
460
00:38:53,130 --> 00:38:55,290
What? Foot presentation?!
461
00:38:55,830 --> 00:38:58,200
That's because she twisted herself,
462
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,500
since she's having such a difficult delivery.
463
00:39:00,630 --> 00:39:02,230
Staying like that,
464
00:39:02,230 --> 00:39:05,500
anything can happen to both her and her baby.
465
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:08,970
I beg you to call a doctor.
466
00:39:09,310 --> 00:39:11,900
No male doctors can be admitted into the lying-in room.
467
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,440
You must save the baby at any cost.
468
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,310
Save the baby at least!
469
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,120
Lady Ohba!
470
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,140
Kagawa! Do whatever you can!
471
00:39:21,490 --> 00:39:22,510
Yes, my lady!
472
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,460
Lady Minbu, worry not.
473
00:39:33,570 --> 00:39:37,200
This foot presentation proves that the baby is so healthy and active.
474
00:39:39,140 --> 00:39:43,040
It must be a male child!
475
00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:57,290
Push, my lady.
476
00:39:59,490 --> 00:40:00,790
Push!
477
00:40:02,430 --> 00:40:03,860
I can see the baby!
478
00:40:04,130 --> 00:40:05,600
Hang on, my lady.
479
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:10,960
It's here! Try, my lady!
480
00:40:18,110 --> 00:40:19,240
It was born!
481
00:40:20,780 --> 00:40:21,970
A boy!
482
00:40:22,750 --> 00:40:24,380
It's a boy!
483
00:40:24,750 --> 00:40:25,880
A boy!
484
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:29,650
You did well, my lady!
485
00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:32,580
You did well!
486
00:40:34,430 --> 00:40:36,420
A male child...
487
00:40:45,670 --> 00:40:47,160
What's the matter?
488
00:40:48,540 --> 00:40:49,840
Where's the first cry?!
489
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,170
Why doesn't he cry?!
490
00:40:54,980 --> 00:40:56,500
Why doesn't he cry?!
491
00:40:57,980 --> 00:40:59,250
Pour water on him.
492
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:03,250
Spray cold water on his thighs.
493
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:15,630
I'm very, very sorry for this.
494
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,000
Kagawa, why is this?
495
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,770
He's the successor to the Tokugawa clan.
496
00:41:26,980 --> 00:41:28,950
Hurry! Do something!
497
00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:33,450
I'm sorry, but he was already dead while he was in the womb.
498
00:41:33,620 --> 00:41:35,390
His navel cord had strangled him.
499
00:41:35,390 --> 00:41:36,820
Shut up! Say no more!
500
00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:39,180
Call the doctor!
501
00:41:39,660 --> 00:41:40,890
Call Doctor Nakarai Ho-in!
502
00:41:40,890 --> 00:41:43,830
Lady Minbu, what makes you so upset?
503
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,370
When a baby fails to cry, it's best to ask for a cat's help.
504
00:41:47,370 --> 00:41:51,200
It's been regarded as the best for many years.
505
00:41:51,740 --> 00:41:57,400
It's because a cat's meow sounds very much like a baby's cry.
506
00:42:04,350 --> 00:42:05,680
A baby?
507
00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:07,880
That's good.
508
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:11,980
My lady!
509
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,750
It was born.
510
00:42:33,810 --> 00:42:35,180
Excuse me.
511
00:42:35,650 --> 00:42:36,950
Good news, my lord.
512
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:40,120
Lord Hidetada's wife has delivered a baby boy.
513
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,290
What? A boy?
514
00:42:42,690 --> 00:42:43,750
Congratulations!
515
00:42:57,070 --> 00:42:58,800
Well, well...
516
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,000
You are cleaned up, young lord.
517
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:07,440
You are closing your eyes happily...
518
00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:13,710
Well, Nurse, give your milk to the young lord.
519
00:43:18,060 --> 00:43:21,720
Come on, what are you waiting for?
520
00:43:22,130 --> 00:43:26,360
The young lord is crying for your milk.
521
00:43:27,570 --> 00:43:30,190
Give him your milk.
522
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,330
Hurry up!
523
00:43:44,750 --> 00:43:47,740
What an incapable nurse!
524
00:43:48,050 --> 00:43:49,520
You are useless!
525
00:43:50,660 --> 00:43:52,060
Ofuku, come here.
526
00:43:56,230 --> 00:43:57,250
Lady Ohba!
527
00:43:57,660 --> 00:43:59,390
Have you forgotten her?
528
00:43:59,830 --> 00:44:02,390
She's Inaba Masanari's wife, Ofuku.
529
00:44:02,970 --> 00:44:06,100
I have kept her here just in case.
530
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:15,410
Ofuku, will you give your milk to the young lord?
531
00:44:16,850 --> 00:44:21,810
If things are going like this...
532
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,120
it will be very bad for him.
533
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,330
Very well. I will take care of him.
534
00:44:50,020 --> 00:44:54,850
I do not understand this...
535
00:44:56,290 --> 00:45:01,190
Lady Ohba, how do you plan to settle this?
536
00:45:02,060 --> 00:45:05,050
Do something or anything could happen, which is far beyond us!
537
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:06,590
You are right.
538
00:45:07,270 --> 00:45:09,560
I never expected this disaster.
539
00:45:10,770 --> 00:45:12,760
It's all our fault.
540
00:45:15,610 --> 00:45:21,200
But Lady Minbu, the young lord is alive.
541
00:45:22,180 --> 00:45:24,150
Another nonsense!
542
00:45:24,820 --> 00:45:26,610
It's too late to pull any tricks!
543
00:45:26,690 --> 00:45:28,120
It's not a trick, my lady.
544
00:45:28,420 --> 00:45:32,960
The young lord, the successor to the Tokugawa clan,
545
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,290
was born safely.
546
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:42,500
This will certainly make the Shogun in Kyoto approve
547
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:48,300
our lord Hidetada as the second Shogun.
548
00:45:49,940 --> 00:45:53,240
Lady Minbu, be delighted!
549
00:45:54,850 --> 00:45:56,610
Be pleased!
550
00:45:58,380 --> 00:45:59,650
Ofuku, come with me.
551
00:46:34,820 --> 00:46:37,480
He's sound asleep.
552
00:46:52,170 --> 00:46:54,330
Ofuku...
553
00:46:55,910 --> 00:47:04,980
I took your child because I was afraid that
554
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:08,650
such a situation as this might happen.
555
00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:11,810
I hope you understand.
556
00:47:14,290 --> 00:47:16,190
Do you understand?
557
00:47:17,860 --> 00:47:18,920
Yes, I do.
558
00:47:52,900 --> 00:47:57,490
Well, well, I have picked up such a healthy baby boy!
559
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,560
Will any of you bring him up in my place?
560
00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:11,280
Sir, I will bring him up, if you do not mind.
561
00:48:11,420 --> 00:48:13,110
You will?
562
00:48:13,390 --> 00:48:15,690
I do not know who you are,
563
00:48:15,690 --> 00:48:19,420
but it must be God Hachiman's wish that you were passing by.
564
00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:22,290
Well, you shall have the child.
565
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,420
Please receive him and declare it.
566
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:36,170
I declare that I have received the child.
567
00:48:54,830 --> 00:49:01,460
Make way for the young lord!
568
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:12,670
Make way for the young lord!
569
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,050
Lady Minbu...
570
00:49:36,370 --> 00:49:44,240
Make way for the young lord!
571
00:49:49,010 --> 00:49:56,180
Make way for the young lord!
572
00:49:59,420 --> 00:50:05,800
Make way for the young lord!
573
00:50:09,740 --> 00:50:16,800
Make way for the young lord!
574
00:50:27,090 --> 00:50:30,320
In the following year,Tokugawa Hidetada assumed
575
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,690
the post of the second Shogun.
576
00:50:35,530 --> 00:50:38,430
Ieyasu had a castle built in Sunpu,
577
00:50:38,430 --> 00:50:41,560
present Shizuoka City and retired into it.
578
00:50:41,870 --> 00:50:44,040
He was called the retired Shogun,
579
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,100
but he still kept himselfin the position of power.
580
00:50:46,170 --> 00:50:47,970
Masanobu...
581
00:50:48,710 --> 00:50:52,540
I wonder what is going on in the inner palace of Edo castle.
582
00:50:53,280 --> 00:51:01,310
(Takechiyo, later knows as Iemitsu ) As I heard, everyone is under the thumb of Takechiyo's nurse.
583
00:51:02,590 --> 00:51:04,210
That's the point, my lord.
584
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,490
The woman called Ofuku, who is the nurse, is rearing
585
00:51:08,490 --> 00:51:11,660
the young Takechiyo in a very strange way.
586
00:51:12,700 --> 00:51:17,100
First of all, about the young lord's residence...
587
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:22,770
She had two-story rooms built deep in the South Dormitory
588
00:51:22,770 --> 00:51:27,210
and has the young lord live with her own five children.
589
00:51:27,610 --> 00:51:30,580
Under these circumstances, the women in the inner palace
590
00:51:30,580 --> 00:51:32,480
call it Ofuku Palace.
591
00:51:37,690 --> 00:51:42,730
The way of Ofuku to raise children can be called,
592
00:51:42,730 --> 00:51:44,850
in a word, 'Natural School'.
593
00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:49,330
She stubbornly observes the rule of 'thirty percent
594
00:51:49,330 --> 00:51:52,430
of hunger and ten percent of cold'.
595
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,470
She treats the young lord and her children equally.
596
00:51:57,240 --> 00:52:02,080
On the other hand, she is careful as the three of
597
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:08,090
her children taste everything, ranging from drinking water
598
00:52:08,090 --> 00:52:12,420
to salt, sugar and herb tea, to be offered to the young lord.
599
00:52:21,330 --> 00:52:26,540
She insists that old people's used clothes are the best
600
00:52:26,540 --> 00:52:30,130
for his diaper, because they will bring him a long life.
601
00:52:30,340 --> 00:52:32,140
She made me offer my old clothes, too.
602
00:52:32,140 --> 00:52:35,350
Then, did the retired Shogun give her his used clothes, too,
603
00:52:35,350 --> 00:52:36,720
because she asked him to?
604
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:37,880
What?
605
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:42,290
Then are they using my clothes to wipe out the baby's shit?
606
00:52:42,650 --> 00:52:43,850
Hot!
607
00:52:44,460 --> 00:52:46,450
Idiot! It's too hot!
608
00:52:46,590 --> 00:52:48,290
Please endure it, my lord.
609
00:52:48,590 --> 00:52:51,650
This moxa treatment helps you recover your energy.
610
00:52:55,570 --> 00:52:57,500
Masanobu...
611
00:52:57,900 --> 00:53:02,400
Who on earth is this Takechiyo's nurse?
612
00:53:03,380 --> 00:53:05,500
Have you forgotten, my lord?
613
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,350
She is the wife of Inaba Masanari, who was the major-domo
614
00:53:10,350 --> 00:53:12,480
to the late Kobayakawa Hideaki.
615
00:53:13,420 --> 00:53:16,250
You met her in Fushimi Castle.
616
00:53:16,690 --> 00:53:21,650
The one who made a bump on your head, my lord.
617
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,450
Oh, yes!
618
00:53:24,700 --> 00:53:26,320
That woman!
619
00:53:27,770 --> 00:53:30,560
She was some woman.
620
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,830
And she had a properly matured body, too.
621
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:47,250
At that time, you promised her that you would promote
622
00:53:47,250 --> 00:53:50,950
her husband, Inaba Masanari, to daimyo, didn't you?
623
00:53:51,820 --> 00:53:57,160
Ofuku sent me a number of reminders.
624
00:53:58,660 --> 00:54:01,800
Well, if I kept every such promise,
625
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,460
this country would be full of daimyo.
626
00:54:04,740 --> 00:54:07,070
Your treatment is over, my lord.
627
00:54:23,620 --> 00:54:25,590
Katsuyama...
628
00:54:26,090 --> 00:54:29,190
As I heard, the Shogun and
629
00:54:29,190 --> 00:54:32,720
his wife have not yet met their child, Takechiyo.
630
00:54:33,830 --> 00:54:35,820
Is that correct?
631
00:54:35,930 --> 00:54:36,990
Yes, my lord.
632
00:54:37,970 --> 00:54:40,540
Lady Minbu, who is the head in the inner palace,
633
00:54:40,540 --> 00:54:44,800
and Lady Ohba shut him in a room and let no one meet him.
634
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,110
That's what I'm told, my lord.
635
00:54:48,250 --> 00:54:50,210
Is that so?
636
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,110
Let no one meet him?
637
00:55:04,730 --> 00:55:06,630
Masanobu...
638
00:55:07,070 --> 00:55:08,730
Katsuyama...
639
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:22,410
Chances are that Takechiyo might be my child.
640
00:55:23,250 --> 00:55:24,550
My lord!
641
00:55:25,420 --> 00:55:26,610
What nonsense!
642
00:55:29,250 --> 00:55:31,420
I was joking.
643
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:37,050
Because I had a dream like that last night.
644
00:56:19,740 --> 00:56:20,900
No!
645
00:56:21,270 --> 00:56:23,740
Takechiyo is not my child!
646
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,610
What's the matter, Oeyo?
647
00:56:25,610 --> 00:56:27,770
No! I can tell.
648
00:56:28,050 --> 00:56:30,070
Takechiyo is not my child!
649
00:56:30,150 --> 00:56:31,670
Oeyo, calm yourself!
650
00:56:31,950 --> 00:56:35,040
My lord, have you not noticed it?
651
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:39,290
How arrogantly the nurse has been acting since Takechiyo was born...
652
00:56:39,590 --> 00:56:43,600
Even Minbu and Ohba are keeping me,
653
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,560
the child's mother, away from him.
654
00:56:45,630 --> 00:56:47,530
They seem to be doing something bad.
655
00:56:47,770 --> 00:56:49,030
There is something behind this!
656
00:56:49,130 --> 00:56:50,730
There must be something!
657
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:53,400
No one can deceive me!
658
00:56:53,770 --> 00:56:54,860
My lady!
659
00:56:56,940 --> 00:56:59,380
Hurry! Call the doctor!
660
00:57:04,180 --> 00:57:06,980
She has a fever, but it's nothing serious.
661
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,410
She is all right.
662
00:57:13,020 --> 00:57:16,650
I'm under the impression that she is pregnant.
663
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,030
What?
664
00:57:19,030 --> 00:57:21,260
Did you say that she is pregnant?
665
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:27,130
It seems that she and Lord Hidetada are getting well.
666
00:57:27,910 --> 00:57:31,030
Anyway, we must congratulate ourselves.
667
00:57:50,530 --> 00:57:51,690
Lady Ohba!
668
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,870
Lady Ohba, what's the matter?
669
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,540
Lady Minbu, I never expected this auspicious sign!
670
00:58:07,750 --> 00:58:10,940
How can I stop laughing even if you tell me not to?
671
00:58:14,490 --> 00:58:18,150
Now I see deities and Buddha bless us!
672
00:58:18,260 --> 00:58:22,090
This time, too, it must be a boy!
673
00:58:22,930 --> 00:58:25,100
When a woman delivers a boy for the first
674
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:28,590
time after having only girl babies, she will keep giving birth to boy babies!
675
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,210
The second boy baby that Oeyo delivered
676
00:58:39,210 --> 00:58:41,080
(Kunimatsu, later know as Tadanaga ) was named Kunimatsu.
677
00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:23,850
From Lady Ohba...
678
00:59:26,620 --> 00:59:31,890
Kumoi, will you remind Lady Ohba of this?
679
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:38,500
''Haste makes waste...
680
00:59:39,170 --> 00:59:43,500
''Do be careful not to act carelessly or thoughtlessly.''
681
00:59:46,510 --> 00:59:49,570
Look, everyone! Let's celebrate!
682
01:00:16,310 --> 01:00:19,140
THREE YEARS LATER...
683
01:00:30,390 --> 01:00:33,450
TAKECHIYO IS FOUR YEARS OF AGE
684
01:00:33,630 --> 01:00:34,750
Wait!
685
01:00:38,730 --> 01:00:39,790
Shichinojo, don't let him flee!
686
01:00:40,060 --> 01:00:41,690
Wait! Coward!
687
01:00:41,870 --> 01:00:42,990
Shichinojo, that way!
688
01:00:43,270 --> 01:00:44,760
Wait! Coward!
689
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,090
Shichinojo, this way!
690
01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:47,830
Wait! I said wait!
691
01:00:48,510 --> 01:00:49,560
Wait!
692
01:00:50,140 --> 01:00:51,400
Shichinojo, that way!
693
01:00:52,540 --> 01:00:53,940
Coward! Halt!
694
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,270
Shichinojo! That way!
695
01:01:00,220 --> 01:01:02,850
Darn you! Wait!
696
01:01:03,220 --> 01:01:05,120
Shichinojo, the West Mansion is over there.
697
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,060
Don't go there or you will be scolded.
698
01:02:29,010 --> 01:02:30,100
Shichinojo!
699
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:33,170
Eat, please.
700
01:02:36,180 --> 01:02:37,150
Excuse me!
701
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,010
What are you doing?
702
01:02:42,350 --> 01:02:43,380
Young master!
703
01:02:44,860 --> 01:02:46,120
What's the matter, Shichinojo?!
704
01:02:49,130 --> 01:02:51,860
That woman poisoned the food.
705
01:02:52,230 --> 01:02:55,560
I saw it. The one from West Mansion...
706
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:57,930
Tsume, no use chasing her!
707
01:02:58,100 --> 01:02:59,300
See to the young lord!
708
01:03:01,370 --> 01:03:04,030
Call a doctor!
709
01:03:05,380 --> 01:03:06,840
Man, bring soy sauce!
710
01:03:08,210 --> 01:03:10,040
Shichinojo, hang in there!
711
01:03:10,620 --> 01:03:14,140
Shichinojo, can you hear me?
712
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:16,750
Shichinojo!
713
01:03:26,630 --> 01:03:27,720
Throw up!
714
01:03:28,030 --> 01:03:30,520
Vomit everything you have eaten!
715
01:03:33,070 --> 01:03:34,800
I didn't expect this intruder.
716
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,940
Ofuku's son saw me meeting you.
717
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,010
Do you think he knew me?
718
01:03:40,110 --> 01:03:41,510
I don't know...
719
01:03:41,850 --> 01:03:44,010
Anyway, the poison only worked on Ofuku's son and turned useless.
720
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:45,980
I apologize for it.
721
01:03:46,350 --> 01:03:49,180
As arranged, I shall set out on a journey right now.
722
01:03:49,290 --> 01:03:51,020
Would you pay me what you promised?
723
01:04:09,810 --> 01:04:16,910
''Because this baby keeps crying...
724
01:04:17,620 --> 01:04:26,520
''I've lost so much weight.
725
01:04:27,490 --> 01:04:34,190
''My sash, just long enoughto circle my waist twice...
726
01:04:34,970 --> 01:04:40,870
''can now circle thrice.''
727
01:04:41,070 --> 01:04:42,730
Tsume...
728
01:04:43,540 --> 01:04:45,700
Is Shichinojo dying?
729
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,640
He's the strongest of the Inaba brothers.
730
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,140
He will be all right.
731
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,410
Now, go to sleep.
732
01:05:07,730 --> 01:05:17,400
''My sash circles around my body thrice...''
733
01:05:18,380 --> 01:05:21,940
Shichinojo! Don't die!
734
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:23,880
Die not! - Brother!
735
01:05:24,220 --> 01:05:25,310
Shichinojo!
736
01:06:38,860 --> 01:06:41,190
My lady...
737
01:06:50,370 --> 01:06:52,930
Would you please send this to my father back in my country?
738
01:06:53,940 --> 01:06:58,400
I shall kill Kunimatsu.
739
01:07:00,540 --> 01:07:02,380
Tsume...
740
01:07:13,990 --> 01:07:19,520
Lord Takechiyo is the son of the retired Shogun in Sunpu.
741
01:07:21,870 --> 01:07:26,000
My lady, then why didn't you tell him so?
742
01:07:29,110 --> 01:07:30,330
Why not?
743
01:07:31,780 --> 01:07:37,450
If I had, not only Ladies Minbu and Ohba, but each and every
744
01:07:37,450 --> 01:07:41,910
person in this Edo castle would become Takechiyo's enemy.
745
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:51,090
Then the retired Shogun would not take sides with Takechiyo, either.
746
01:07:54,930 --> 01:07:56,400
We must wait.
747
01:07:57,070 --> 01:07:58,400
We must endure.
748
01:07:59,900 --> 01:08:03,360
Tsume, do you know how I feel?!
749
01:08:05,140 --> 01:08:06,540
I loved Shichinojo.
750
01:08:06,780 --> 01:08:13,950
He was as dear to me as Takechiyo was.
751
01:08:32,540 --> 01:08:36,670
But I must endure...
752
01:08:37,510 --> 01:08:39,600
All I can do is endure...
753
01:08:42,380 --> 01:08:44,180
My lady...
754
01:08:57,290 --> 01:09:03,260
I shall make Takechiyo a Shogun without fail.
755
01:09:03,700 --> 01:09:07,070
I swear!
756
01:09:14,250 --> 01:09:18,270
I shall make Takechiyo the third Shogun.
757
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,580
Look what you have done!
758
01:09:23,650 --> 01:09:25,590
I'm sorry.
759
01:09:26,460 --> 01:09:30,330
I did it at my own discretion so as not
760
01:09:30,330 --> 01:09:34,460
not to involve you, Lady Minbu.
761
01:09:34,570 --> 01:09:35,660
Enough!
762
01:09:37,740 --> 01:09:43,110
Although I could manage to settle this smoothly...
763
01:09:46,380 --> 01:09:47,940
Worry not.
764
01:09:48,610 --> 01:09:54,380
I am fully aware of the position you are in.
765
01:10:02,190 --> 01:10:05,130
Lady Minbu, you seem worried.
766
01:10:05,430 --> 01:10:08,490
Is there anything else that ails you?
767
01:10:11,300 --> 01:10:12,830
It's Ofuku.
768
01:10:13,970 --> 01:10:15,370
Ofuku?
769
01:10:16,940 --> 01:10:20,480
When her son had to die like that,
770
01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:22,500
she seemed so calm.
771
01:10:23,350 --> 01:10:26,620
Today, too, she said we should refrain from investigating who was responsible for his death,
772
01:10:26,620 --> 01:10:29,450
in order to avoid confusion in the inner palace.
773
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:31,710
Refrain from investigation?
774
01:10:32,390 --> 01:10:37,020
Actually, I heard something that bothers me.
775
01:10:37,090 --> 01:10:38,360
What can it be?
776
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:43,930
I heard that Ofuku had met the retired Shogun before
777
01:10:43,930 --> 01:10:46,530
she came to Edo.
778
01:10:47,340 --> 01:10:49,030
What?
779
01:10:49,770 --> 01:10:51,600
Is that for certain?
780
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:56,340
She went to Fushimi castle to ask him to employ her husband, Inaba Masanari.
781
01:10:56,750 --> 01:11:00,380
At that time, she stayed by the side of the retired Shogun Ieyasu for three days.
782
01:11:00,580 --> 01:11:02,050
Three long days?
783
01:11:02,220 --> 01:11:06,180
Do you not think that Ofuku is perfectly the retired Shogun's type?
784
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:16,290
Lady Minbu, do not tell me that Lord Takechiyo is his son!
785
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:19,790
We cannot overlook it.
786
01:11:20,270 --> 01:11:23,570
We must inquire of Lord Honda Masanobu, no,
787
01:11:23,570 --> 01:11:25,240
Lady Katsuyama whether it is true or not.
788
01:11:25,310 --> 01:11:26,540
Not people in Sunpu.
789
01:11:26,940 --> 01:11:29,440
You'd only stir up a hornet's nest.
790
01:11:29,910 --> 01:11:32,110
Then what do you plan to do?
791
01:11:32,180 --> 01:11:36,050
This is really something to decide the fate of Edo castle.
792
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,220
Lady Ohba, I have an idea.
793
01:11:40,620 --> 01:11:43,390
So, do play innocent this time.
794
01:11:45,460 --> 01:11:47,860
Neither too tight nor too loose.
795
01:11:48,170 --> 01:11:52,300
That's it. Wind it firmly.
796
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:58,030
Tattano, do you really think this works?
797
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,610
This stem is a speciality from Higo province.
798
01:12:00,980 --> 01:12:07,680
When it's used, any women go all but insane from extreme pleasure.
799
01:12:07,890 --> 01:12:12,050
Some even die from shock, they say.
800
01:12:12,490 --> 01:12:14,290
I feel my fingers are beginning to itch.
801
01:12:14,860 --> 01:12:16,330
What? Is it working so soon?
802
01:12:16,460 --> 01:12:18,260
I can hardly wait...
803
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,230
Excuse me.
804
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,340
Lord Honda just arrived back from Edo,
805
01:12:27,340 --> 01:12:30,210
and is here requesting to see you.
806
01:12:30,410 --> 01:12:32,100
It's already late at night.
807
01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:33,910
Tell him to make it tomorrow.
808
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,810
My lord, it will be too late if we make it tomorrow.
809
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,310
This is an emergency! Excuse me.
810
01:12:42,850 --> 01:12:47,790
Very well. Oroku, you go to bed first and wait.
811
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:49,950
Be certain to wait.
812
01:12:52,460 --> 01:12:53,520
My lord.
813
01:12:55,270 --> 01:12:57,060
What on earth is that?
814
01:12:58,600 --> 01:12:59,900
This?
815
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,230
It's a speciality from Higo province.
816
01:13:03,770 --> 01:13:05,670
It's the stem of a taro.
817
01:13:05,910 --> 01:13:07,880
It works better than sliced sea cucumber.
818
01:13:08,550 --> 01:13:10,640
It's something special, isn't it, my lord?
819
01:13:10,810 --> 01:13:13,510
Why don't you use one, too, Masanobu?
820
01:13:13,980 --> 01:13:15,510
No, thank you, my lord.
821
01:13:15,820 --> 01:13:19,450
In my case, something most important is already worn out.
822
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:23,290
Really? That's too bad.
823
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:27,860
Lord Honda.
824
01:13:28,430 --> 01:13:32,330
This is no time for such jokes, is it?
825
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,970
Well, that reminds me.
826
01:13:36,310 --> 01:13:41,900
My lord, I took a close look at Young Lord Takechiyo in Edo castle.
827
01:13:42,150 --> 01:13:44,940
He looked exactly like you.
828
01:13:47,450 --> 01:13:49,690
A ceremony was held to announce
829
01:13:49,690 --> 01:13:51,880
the end of Lord Takechiyo's infancy.
830
01:13:52,060 --> 01:13:55,290
I was invited there as a special guest, too.
831
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:20,050
After this ceremony,children begin to grow their hair
832
01:14:20,050 --> 01:14:22,450
long and enter boyhood.
833
01:14:48,250 --> 01:14:50,580
He's grown into such a good boy.
834
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,980
The retired Shogun will be very glad.
835
01:14:57,390 --> 01:15:00,980
You have done a good job, Nurse.
836
01:15:01,630 --> 01:15:03,490
Your word is far more than I deserve.
837
01:15:03,690 --> 01:15:05,290
Thank you very much.
838
01:15:11,130 --> 01:15:13,690
He looked exactly like you, my lord...
839
01:15:14,100 --> 01:15:16,770
Not only his countenance, but also the way he acted.
840
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,540
There is such a thing as resemblance between strangers.
841
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:30,380
You once said that Lord Takechiyo might be your son.
842
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:35,460
Actually, your words have been lingering on my mind.
843
01:15:35,730 --> 01:15:39,800
I have been to the province of Mino to meet Ofuku's
844
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:41,820
husband, Inaba Masanari.
845
01:15:42,470 --> 01:15:46,870
On the way, I met someone unexpected.
846
01:16:03,220 --> 01:16:05,750
So Minbu met Masanari, too?
847
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:06,950
Yes, my lord.
848
01:16:07,490 --> 01:16:11,690
And what did Masanari say?
849
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,830
I'm ashamed to tell you this...
850
01:16:16,170 --> 01:16:17,960
The fourth eldest son is not my child.
851
01:16:18,100 --> 01:16:20,570
Did Masanari say so himself?
852
01:16:21,070 --> 01:16:23,410
Since he came to Mino, he and Ofuku have never done
853
01:16:23,410 --> 01:16:25,210
what a married couple are supposed to do.
854
01:16:25,210 --> 01:16:27,010
That's what he said, my lord.
855
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:36,890
And, did Ofuku mention the name of the child's father
856
01:16:36,890 --> 01:16:39,910
in Masanari's presence?
857
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,430
Ofuku is not the sort of woman to commit adultery
858
01:16:42,430 --> 01:16:43,790
under any circumstances.
859
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,470
If she had a child by someone besides me,
860
01:16:48,470 --> 01:16:51,700
he should be the son of Japan's greatest warlord.
861
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:57,910
I make a guess that the only person I can think of is
862
01:16:57,910 --> 01:17:00,140
the great devil who was in Kyoto at that time.
863
01:17:01,140 --> 01:17:04,840
What? He called me the great devil?
864
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:11,090
Masanobu...
865
01:17:11,860 --> 01:17:16,550
Kill him to keep him quiet!
866
01:17:17,260 --> 01:17:19,850
I gave him a stipend of 10,000 koku.
867
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:22,630
What?
868
01:17:23,630 --> 01:17:28,130
If we kill Masanari, we must kill Ofuku, too.
869
01:17:29,210 --> 01:17:34,200
And Ladies Minbu and Ohba will also be involved.
870
01:17:35,150 --> 01:17:36,770
They are foxes!
871
01:17:37,380 --> 01:17:40,280
They are all united in deceiving me!
872
01:17:41,790 --> 01:17:43,810
They outwitted us smartly.
873
01:17:44,250 --> 01:17:45,380
Unforgivable!
874
01:17:45,820 --> 01:17:49,550
But, my lord, you caused all this.
875
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:55,190
Whom are you taking sides with?
876
01:17:55,670 --> 01:17:59,670
In any case, it is evident that Takechiyo is Ofuku's child
877
01:17:59,670 --> 01:18:05,700
and that he's only a dummy that Ladies Minbu and Ohba framed.
878
01:18:06,440 --> 01:18:12,180
Now, everyone is wise to it, and wonders whether or not
879
01:18:12,180 --> 01:18:17,810
he is the retired Shogun's child.
880
01:18:18,390 --> 01:18:21,650
Ofuku is the only person who knows the truth.
881
01:18:21,830 --> 01:18:23,550
Then call Ofuku here.
882
01:18:23,890 --> 01:18:27,490
She will never leave Edo.
883
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,200
What if I order her to come?
884
01:18:29,370 --> 01:18:33,240
A while ago, one of Ofuku's sons died suddenly after
885
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:37,370
tasting the food for Lord Takechiyo.
886
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:41,610
What?
887
01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:44,210
Since young Lord Kunimatsu was born,
888
01:18:44,210 --> 01:18:47,950
dangerous events keep taking place around Lord Takechiyo.
889
01:18:48,790 --> 01:18:52,080
Struggle for the post of successor will only bring turbulence to the Tokugawa clan.
890
01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:56,690
Please do something, or something irrevocable could happen.
891
01:18:57,090 --> 01:18:58,720
That's enough.
892
01:19:00,830 --> 01:19:07,700
I shall go to Edo soon to settle it by myself.
893
01:19:10,710 --> 01:19:13,110
How do you like this, Oroku?
894
01:19:15,010 --> 01:19:16,310
It's wonderful...
895
01:19:16,710 --> 01:19:18,270
Is it that good?
896
01:19:19,150 --> 01:19:20,950
My lord...
897
01:19:21,490 --> 01:19:23,420
I can't endure anymore...
898
01:19:42,810 --> 01:19:44,540
What? My father?
899
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,940
The news has arrived that he suffered a heart
900
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:48,640
attack and is in critical condition.
901
01:19:49,210 --> 01:19:50,470
Critical condition?!
902
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,780
Sakai, our lord is going to visit his father.
903
01:19:53,780 --> 01:19:54,880
Make preparations!
904
01:19:57,490 --> 01:19:59,320
Tadachika...
905
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:04,590
If he passes away now, the Tokugawa clan will be finished.
906
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,560
Your Excellency, you can rejoice.
907
01:20:09,070 --> 01:20:10,330
Rejoice, you say?
908
01:20:10,500 --> 01:20:13,900
The world has come into your possession...
909
01:20:14,340 --> 01:20:16,600
truly and finally.
910
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,040
Is that so?
911
01:20:21,010 --> 01:20:23,350
So from now on, I can do anything I please,
912
01:20:23,350 --> 01:20:25,280
without minding my father.
913
01:20:25,620 --> 01:20:26,640
Right, my lord.
914
01:20:37,230 --> 01:20:38,460
He was cursed!
915
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:41,800
My father-in-law forgot how much he was indebted
916
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:45,500
to the late Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and tried to
917
01:20:45,500 --> 01:20:47,200
dominate the country by himself.
918
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:49,760
How could he die peacefully?
919
01:21:02,350 --> 01:21:04,790
You have probably heard already...
920
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:09,420
last evening, the retired Shogun suddenly fell ill.
921
01:21:10,090 --> 01:21:13,090
And how is he, my lady?
922
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,430
I'm not fully informed yet, but it seems that
923
01:21:16,430 --> 01:21:18,400
he is in critical condition.
924
01:21:20,370 --> 01:21:24,810
Shogun Hidetada wishes to select his successor
925
01:21:24,810 --> 01:21:27,570
while the retired Shogun is still alive.
926
01:21:28,550 --> 01:21:33,650
All the high officials and ladies-in-waiting have
927
01:21:33,650 --> 01:21:36,620
decided to recommend Lord Kunimatsu.
928
01:21:38,020 --> 01:21:40,680
Lord Kunimatsu, you say?
929
01:21:41,830 --> 01:21:44,230
You know why. There's no need to explain.
930
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:49,120
Ofuku, worry not.
931
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:54,670
Lord Takechiyo will be given a new surname from the Shogun.
932
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:58,100
He is supposed to establish a new branch family.
933
01:21:58,940 --> 01:22:02,810
He will probably become a feudal lord with a fief yielding more than 500,000 koku rice.
934
01:22:06,580 --> 01:22:11,380
By the way, about yourself...
935
01:22:12,090 --> 01:22:14,490
You lost one of your children,
936
01:22:14,490 --> 01:22:17,260
but still have four of them.
937
01:22:17,490 --> 01:22:21,450
We do not want to make you suffer from any more hardship.
938
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:26,770
So, we have decided to dismiss you.
939
01:22:31,070 --> 01:22:33,300
Of course, we are not telling you to leave empty-handed.
940
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,580
You shall receive an annual stipend of 50 koku
941
01:22:36,580 --> 01:22:38,270
of rice for the rest of your life.
942
01:22:38,820 --> 01:22:45,450
Your eldest son, Senkuma, shall restore the Inaba clan and be employed as a page.
943
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:46,720
But, my lady...
944
01:22:46,790 --> 01:22:47,880
Yes?
945
01:22:48,890 --> 01:22:50,520
First of all...
946
01:22:50,660 --> 01:22:55,230
Would you please tell me why Lord Kunimatsu will be recommended as
947
01:22:55,230 --> 01:22:57,630
the successor instead of Lord Takechiyo?
948
01:22:58,130 --> 01:23:00,570
It goes without saying that Lord Kunimatsu is
949
01:23:00,570 --> 01:23:04,840
the only legal descendant of Shogun Hidetada and his wife.
950
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:10,050
Do not tell me that you have forgotten what happened
951
01:23:10,050 --> 01:23:13,210
when the Shogun's wife gave birth to a baby.
952
01:23:14,380 --> 01:23:16,350
I remember well.
953
01:23:17,590 --> 01:23:21,860
Lord Takechiyo was born as
954
01:23:21,860 --> 01:23:26,350
Shogun Hidetada's first boy baby and eldest son.
955
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:31,190
But Lord Takechiyo is your...
956
01:23:35,910 --> 01:23:39,310
My what?
957
01:23:41,340 --> 01:23:45,970
Are you accusing me, Ofuku?
958
01:23:47,950 --> 01:23:49,920
Try to remember, my lady.
959
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:55,330
At that time, Lady Ohba gave me the baby the Shogun's
960
01:23:55,330 --> 01:24:00,890
wife had delivered, and told me to give him my milk.
961
01:24:02,070 --> 01:24:06,370
I am certain you saw it, too.
962
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:11,470
He was a little weak, but I have devoted my heart
963
01:24:11,470 --> 01:24:15,570
and body to rear him.
964
01:24:17,650 --> 01:24:21,950
Lord Takechiyo is evidently the Shogun's eldest son.
965
01:24:22,690 --> 01:24:25,060
No matter what people may say, he is the only person
966
01:24:25,060 --> 01:24:28,180
to be called ''the Shogun's successor''.
967
01:24:31,530 --> 01:24:33,020
Excuse me.
968
01:24:39,540 --> 01:24:40,560
Stop!
969
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:57,080
Ofuku, you have forgotten who you are.
970
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,990
You seem to harbor undesirable ambition.
971
01:25:02,330 --> 01:25:03,760
Capture her!
972
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:35,520
Hurry up!
973
01:25:59,420 --> 01:26:01,710
Be good children.
974
01:26:02,750 --> 01:26:04,650
Everyone, leave!
975
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:08,890
Give me Lord Takechiyo.
976
01:26:10,790 --> 01:26:12,450
Give him to me!
977
01:26:23,870 --> 01:26:25,310
What do you think you're doing?!
978
01:26:25,410 --> 01:26:27,070
Give Lord Takechiyo back to me!
979
01:26:27,210 --> 01:26:28,400
Servant! Get out!
980
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:30,980
Give him back to me!
981
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,180
Young lord!
982
01:26:42,430 --> 01:26:43,450
Damn you!
983
01:26:43,660 --> 01:26:44,850
Wait! - Tsume!
984
01:26:46,830 --> 01:26:47,850
Wait!
985
01:26:48,300 --> 01:26:49,360
Halt!
986
01:26:50,770 --> 01:26:53,360
Someone, come!
987
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:55,830
Someone!
988
01:26:56,610 --> 01:27:02,340
Ofuku's servant is kidnapping Lord Takechiyo!
989
01:27:10,290 --> 01:27:11,310
Tsume!
990
01:27:11,750 --> 01:27:12,880
Lord Senkuma!
991
01:27:45,050 --> 01:27:46,420
Where is she?!
992
01:27:49,660 --> 01:27:54,760
Where is the maidservant who's kidnapped the young lord?
993
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:56,490
Where did she go? Speak!
994
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,190
I do not know. - Lying will do you no good!
995
01:27:59,270 --> 01:28:01,330
I really do not know. - She's in the kitchen!
996
01:28:01,470 --> 01:28:03,140
There's someone who saw her in the kitchen.
997
01:28:03,140 --> 01:28:04,130
Let's hurry!
998
01:28:04,870 --> 01:28:06,210
Lady Minbu's order!
999
01:28:06,310 --> 01:28:08,780
Close the gate and let no one in or out!
1000
01:28:31,830 --> 01:28:33,770
Lady Minbu...
1001
01:28:37,970 --> 01:28:40,270
We could find neither maid nor the young lord.
1002
01:28:40,380 --> 01:28:43,040
Send a ninja! Search outside the castle, too!
1003
01:28:45,010 --> 01:28:46,170
Lady Minbu!
1004
01:28:50,950 --> 01:28:52,610
She's passing away!
1005
01:29:00,660 --> 01:29:03,130
Lady Ohba...
1006
01:29:04,670 --> 01:29:07,900
I guess that you are much vexed.
1007
01:29:10,270 --> 01:29:16,040
You had to be injured by such a humble maid.
1008
01:29:19,020 --> 01:29:21,140
Poor lady...
1009
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:31,890
Lady Minbu, Ofuku is such a dreadful woman.
1010
01:29:32,730 --> 01:29:39,000
If we leave her alive, she will take over this castle.
1011
01:29:40,140 --> 01:29:44,570
Do be careful...
1012
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:47,140
Be careful!
1013
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:07,030
An incident took place...
1014
01:30:07,030 --> 01:30:09,590
I can think of it as nothing but a nightmare.
1015
01:30:10,330 --> 01:30:14,540
Your servant, Tsume, murdered Lady Ohba,
1016
01:30:14,540 --> 01:30:16,870
kidnapped Lord Takechiyo and fled.
1017
01:30:18,780 --> 01:30:20,040
Tsume did?
1018
01:30:20,340 --> 01:30:23,510
We have looked everywhere in and out of the castle for her,
1019
01:30:23,510 --> 01:30:25,240
but she is missing.
1020
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,750
We are now searching the moats just in case.
1021
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:36,680
Do you have any idea where she is?
1022
01:30:39,530 --> 01:30:42,730
I hope you know that shielding her may cause
1023
01:30:42,730 --> 01:30:44,530
not only you, but also your children
1024
01:30:44,530 --> 01:30:46,970
to be severely punished. You people may be beheaded or crucified.
1025
01:30:47,970 --> 01:30:52,960
I do not think that Tsume murdered her for no reason.
1026
01:30:54,010 --> 01:31:03,180
Maybe she had to do it to save Lord Takechiyo from danger.
1027
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:06,550
Shut up! Are you protecting the murderer?!
1028
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:11,160
I hate to say this, but Lady Ohba reaped the harvest
1029
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:12,590
of her own sowing.
1030
01:31:12,830 --> 01:31:14,630
What?! - Kumoi!
1031
01:31:15,670 --> 01:31:17,720
Continue, Ofuku.
1032
01:31:23,310 --> 01:31:29,710
For some reason, you and Lady Ohba have been trying...
1033
01:31:31,180 --> 01:31:36,740
to appoint Shogun Hidetada's second eldest son, Kunimatsu, as his successor.
1034
01:31:37,490 --> 01:31:42,460
When we heard the rumor, Tsume told me to appeal
1035
01:31:42,460 --> 01:31:48,160
to the retired Shogun in Sunpu.
1036
01:31:49,870 --> 01:31:54,530
Are you saying that Tsume has left for Sunpu with Lord Takechiyo?
1037
01:31:57,070 --> 01:31:58,700
Then it's no use.
1038
01:31:59,510 --> 01:32:02,480
The retired Shogun is critically ill now,
1039
01:32:02,480 --> 01:32:05,450
and even the Shogun, his son, is unable to see him.
1040
01:32:05,850 --> 01:32:09,250
So I heard. Do you think that it's really true?
1041
01:32:09,620 --> 01:32:10,680
What?
1042
01:32:12,050 --> 01:32:15,110
The retired Shogun is a notorious tactician.
1043
01:32:15,730 --> 01:32:17,450
Are you saying he's only pretending to be ill?
1044
01:32:18,390 --> 01:32:22,520
Up to now, we have been deceiving him.
1045
01:32:23,270 --> 01:32:27,640
It's natural that he is planning retaliation.
1046
01:32:29,170 --> 01:32:31,110
I will send someone to chase her immediately.
1047
01:32:34,210 --> 01:32:38,240
Tsume has faster and stronger legs than a deer.
1048
01:32:39,580 --> 01:32:41,950
If she is heading for Sunpu...
1049
01:32:42,020 --> 01:32:43,990
Ofuku...
1050
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:47,620
You have made a big mistake, haven't you?
1051
01:32:50,290 --> 01:32:54,730
You are still unaware of how fearful the retired Shogun really is.
1052
01:32:56,400 --> 01:33:02,770
Years ago, he even dared to kill his own wife and son
1053
01:33:02,770 --> 01:33:06,040
to maintain the peace in his family.
1054
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:13,550
I am certain that he will get rid of Lord Takechiyo for
1055
01:33:13,550 --> 01:33:16,580
the Tokugawa clan's sake, too.
1056
01:33:19,990 --> 01:33:28,420
It's like you have dug your own grave.
1057
01:33:38,470 --> 01:33:44,310
Well, I wonder if this is a dream or reality...
1058
01:33:52,660 --> 01:33:54,590
Reality, my lord.
1059
01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:59,560
He is really Lord Takechiyo.
1060
01:34:02,060 --> 01:34:05,360
Takechiyo, I am your grandfather.
1061
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:09,040
Come here.
1062
01:34:20,820 --> 01:34:25,250
Do not be afraid.
1063
01:34:25,860 --> 01:34:28,720
Come here, I said.
1064
01:34:32,730 --> 01:34:36,390
Is this child mute?
1065
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:38,470
No, he is not, my lord.
1066
01:34:40,140 --> 01:34:41,470
Who is that?
1067
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,430
She is Ofuku's servant.
1068
01:34:44,940 --> 01:34:48,670
She brought Lord Takechiyo here all by herself.
1069
01:34:49,380 --> 01:34:51,280
It sounds like she is young.
1070
01:34:51,650 --> 01:34:53,380
Bring her here.
1071
01:34:53,550 --> 01:34:55,450
But my lord, her clothes are so dirty now.
1072
01:34:55,450 --> 01:34:58,980
I do not mind. Bring her here.
1073
01:35:00,460 --> 01:35:02,080
Let the servant in.
1074
01:35:10,970 --> 01:35:11,930
My lord!
1075
01:35:12,100 --> 01:35:13,130
My lord!
1076
01:35:13,900 --> 01:35:15,960
Please remember that you are ill, my lord!
1077
01:35:16,940 --> 01:35:18,430
Look at me.
1078
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:34,320
You brought Takechiyo all the way from Edo by yourself?
1079
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:35,790
Yes, my lord.
1080
01:35:35,860 --> 01:35:37,760
What is it that took place in Edo castle?
1081
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:39,630
Tell everything to the retired Shogun.
1082
01:35:39,630 --> 01:35:41,430
No, save the questions for later.
1083
01:35:43,330 --> 01:35:49,970
Katsuyama, give her new clothes.
1084
01:35:51,440 --> 01:35:55,070
No, wait...
1085
01:35:57,180 --> 01:35:58,770
Have her wash up first.
1086
01:36:07,460 --> 01:36:13,420
Lady Minbu, do you intend to keep silent forever?
1087
01:36:15,060 --> 01:36:18,360
Why don't you leave me with your message to the retired Shogun?
1088
01:36:19,270 --> 01:36:24,100
No matter how long you may stay here, it is impossible to see him.
1089
01:36:25,310 --> 01:36:29,640
It's not only because he is ill.
1090
01:36:30,910 --> 01:36:34,180
He is very angry at the mistake you have made
1091
01:36:34,180 --> 01:36:36,480
for the second time.
1092
01:36:38,190 --> 01:36:43,150
He even says to banish all the elders in Edo castle.
1093
01:36:47,700 --> 01:36:49,760
Hurry and speak, Lady Minbu.
1094
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:56,140
I am old now, and feel like going to the toilet.
1095
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:03,870
I shall not tell what brings me here to anyone but the retired Shogun himself.
1096
01:37:05,050 --> 01:37:09,320
If I spoke now, the authority of the Tokugawa Shogunate
1097
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,120
would be damaged.
1098
01:37:12,190 --> 01:37:14,990
The authority of the Tokugawa Shogunate, you say?
1099
01:37:16,330 --> 01:37:18,760
What a laugh!
1100
01:37:19,030 --> 01:37:21,520
You only came to make an excuse, didn't you?
1101
01:37:22,530 --> 01:37:25,570
If you want to survive this crisis,
1102
01:37:25,570 --> 01:37:31,010
confess to the retired Shogun every evil act which you
1103
01:37:31,010 --> 01:37:37,780
have done up to date and ask him for mercy.
1104
01:37:39,180 --> 01:37:40,580
Come, come, speak.
1105
01:37:42,420 --> 01:37:46,760
I have been serving him for fifty years since
1106
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:50,690
he was a mere regional warlord.
1107
01:37:52,230 --> 01:37:54,220
I hear and see things on his behalf.
1108
01:37:55,730 --> 01:37:57,360
Think of me as him and speak.
1109
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,000
What are you waiting for?!
1110
01:38:00,100 --> 01:38:01,430
Speak!
1111
01:38:06,710 --> 01:38:08,400
Lady Minbu became insane!
1112
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:10,540
Capture her!
1113
01:38:10,780 --> 01:38:12,470
Everyone! Capture her!
1114
01:38:12,580 --> 01:38:13,570
Halt!
1115
01:38:17,950 --> 01:38:19,180
Out of the way!
1116
01:38:28,030 --> 01:38:29,830
Halt, Lady Minbu!
1117
01:38:31,900 --> 01:38:34,700
This is the retired Shogun's private room!
1118
01:38:36,310 --> 01:38:37,530
Lady Katsuyama!
1119
01:38:38,940 --> 01:38:42,170
Please, please announce me to him!
1120
01:38:43,250 --> 01:38:44,300
No, I won't.
1121
01:38:45,350 --> 01:38:48,080
I have something I must tell him at any cost!
1122
01:38:48,550 --> 01:38:50,040
Please announce me!
1123
01:38:51,550 --> 01:38:53,820
I'm sorry.
1124
01:38:54,220 --> 01:38:56,230
He is very much delighted to see
1125
01:38:56,230 --> 01:38:59,160
Lord Takechiyo, because he didn't expect it at all.
1126
01:38:59,860 --> 01:39:05,200
Right now, he is taking a bath with him.
1127
01:39:35,900 --> 01:39:38,800
I have something to tell the retired Shogun!
1128
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:45,670
I have something to tell Lord Ieyasu!
1129
01:39:46,340 --> 01:39:52,720
The only lineal descendant of the second Shogun who
1130
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:56,550
lives in Edo castle is Lord Kunimatsu!
1131
01:39:57,420 --> 01:40:04,060
Even if Lord Takechiyo is Lord Ieyasu's child,
1132
01:40:04,060 --> 01:40:09,690
we cannot approve him as the Shogun's successor!
1133
01:40:09,870 --> 01:40:11,060
Kill her!
1134
01:40:11,670 --> 01:40:14,760
Kill her now!
1135
01:40:29,180 --> 01:40:37,320
I stake my life on this petition!
1136
01:40:41,330 --> 01:40:45,660
I beg you to grant it!
1137
01:40:55,710 --> 01:40:57,140
What a mess!
1138
01:41:00,050 --> 01:41:03,020
Everyone knows it now.
1139
01:41:04,790 --> 01:41:07,780
It is no longer just a rumor.
1140
01:41:32,110 --> 01:41:33,950
My lord...
1141
01:41:35,220 --> 01:41:38,710
I am worried about the future of Kunimatsu.
1142
01:41:40,890 --> 01:41:43,920
Please appoint him as his successor as soon as you can.
1143
01:41:44,030 --> 01:41:45,720
We shall not talk about it.
1144
01:41:46,060 --> 01:41:47,220
My lord!
1145
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:49,400
That's enough.
1146
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:51,860
Your Excellency!
1147
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:55,470
An emergency messenger is here.
1148
01:41:55,470 --> 01:41:58,570
He says the retired Shogun has left Sunpu and is
1149
01:41:58,570 --> 01:42:01,300
coming to Edo without any previous announcement.
1150
01:42:02,950 --> 01:42:05,850
He also says that the retired Shogun is galloping at full speed
1151
01:42:05,850 --> 01:42:07,910
and that there seems to be some unusual air about him.
1152
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:12,580
Maybe he is coming to discuss the successor matter.
1153
01:42:13,860 --> 01:42:18,160
Didn't I warn you?
1154
01:42:19,330 --> 01:42:22,530
My father only pretended to be ill to test me.
1155
01:42:24,270 --> 01:42:28,170
Tadachika, you said for me to rejoice, didn't you?!
1156
01:42:28,570 --> 01:42:30,500
My father got wise to it!
1157
01:42:30,570 --> 01:42:32,070
Your Excellency, I beg you to be brave.
1158
01:42:32,070 --> 01:42:35,210
This is a battle between Edo and Sunpu, you and your father.
1159
01:42:35,210 --> 01:42:36,400
Shut up!
1160
01:42:41,420 --> 01:42:45,320
You keep making so much ado about Takechiyo and Kunimatsu!
1161
01:42:46,090 --> 01:42:48,180
Anyone will do as my successor!
1162
01:42:49,390 --> 01:42:54,260
Anyone can be a Shogun as long as he's a man!
1163
01:43:09,140 --> 01:43:12,580
The retired Shogun Lord Ieyasu has arrived!
1164
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:23,150
Everyone, look at me!
1165
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:37,510
I came to Edo because there is something I must discuss
1166
01:43:37,510 --> 01:43:42,570
and make certain of in the presence of the Shogun.
1167
01:43:46,850 --> 01:43:51,480
Takechiyo's nurse, Ofuku, come here!
1168
01:43:56,730 --> 01:43:57,710
Yes, my lord.
1169
01:44:08,100 --> 01:44:09,330
Come closer.
1170
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:33,190
Is Takechiyo my child?
1171
01:44:45,170 --> 01:44:49,780
Lord Takechiyo is the child of Shogun Hidetada and his wife.
1172
01:44:49,780 --> 01:44:51,250
There is no mistake about it.
1173
01:44:51,550 --> 01:44:52,980
Are you certain?
1174
01:44:54,650 --> 01:44:55,710
Yes, my lord.
1175
01:44:56,890 --> 01:45:00,750
I was with her when she delivered him.
1176
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:07,850
I received the healthy child myself to take care of him.
1177
01:45:11,070 --> 01:45:12,930
Let me ask you again.
1178
01:45:15,170 --> 01:45:18,040
Takechiyo is not my child, is he?
1179
01:45:20,980 --> 01:45:22,000
Yes, my lord.
1180
01:45:23,210 --> 01:45:28,310
He is the child of Shogun Hidetada and his wife.
1181
01:45:28,650 --> 01:45:30,050
You are lying!
1182
01:45:40,730 --> 01:45:47,360
May I ask what makes you think I am lying, my lord?
1183
01:45:47,970 --> 01:45:49,230
It's Lady Minbu.
1184
01:45:50,540 --> 01:45:53,880
Just before dying, she said that the only lineal descendant
1185
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:57,170
of Shogun Hidetada is his second eldest son Kunimatsu.
1186
01:45:59,010 --> 01:46:01,450
You know that, don't you?
1187
01:46:02,480 --> 01:46:06,110
Certainly I know that, my lord.
1188
01:46:08,090 --> 01:46:11,530
But she went all the way to Sunpu by herself,
1189
01:46:11,530 --> 01:46:15,830
injured people and even tried to directly appeal to you.
1190
01:46:16,700 --> 01:46:20,270
I regret very much that a man of your position
1191
01:46:20,270 --> 01:46:23,860
must believe what such an insane woman said.
1192
01:46:24,870 --> 01:46:26,030
Let me speak.
1193
01:46:26,170 --> 01:46:29,380
Lady Minbu had served the Shogun's wife since
1194
01:46:29,380 --> 01:46:30,650
before she married him.
1195
01:46:30,650 --> 01:46:33,380
She was such a faithful woman.
1196
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:35,040
I do not think that she lied.
1197
01:46:35,250 --> 01:46:37,340
She even staked her life on her appeal!
1198
01:46:38,620 --> 01:46:40,720
If truth can be proved only by staking life,
1199
01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:42,550
I shall be glad to die any time!
1200
01:46:42,690 --> 01:46:43,790
What a sophism!
1201
01:46:43,790 --> 01:46:47,020
What about you, Sir Tadachika?
1202
01:46:47,460 --> 01:46:49,560
What do you know about the inner palace?
1203
01:46:50,770 --> 01:46:52,530
Please refrain from interfering, my lord.
1204
01:46:53,700 --> 01:46:55,640
Let me speak to you, my lord.
1205
01:46:55,900 --> 01:46:59,310
You shall never know the truth from this woman, Ofuku, even if you have to kill her.
1206
01:46:59,940 --> 01:47:04,950
The appointment of a successor should only be handled by
1207
01:47:04,950 --> 01:47:06,680
the Shogun and us ministers.
1208
01:47:06,980 --> 01:47:08,970
Please leave it to us.
1209
01:47:09,150 --> 01:47:11,050
I am imploring you, my lord!
1210
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:29,830
Ofuku...
1211
01:47:30,740 --> 01:47:32,210
Listen very carefully.
1212
01:47:34,340 --> 01:47:36,540
This is the last discussion.
1213
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,620
If Takechiyo is my child,
1214
01:47:42,620 --> 01:47:46,920
he cannot be the Shogun's successor.
1215
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:52,130
That's the rule to keep order in the world.
1216
01:47:52,690 --> 01:47:55,720
But I'd rather wish he was my child.
1217
01:48:01,270 --> 01:48:04,830
I wish I could have a child by a woman like you.
1218
01:48:07,440 --> 01:48:11,570
Even though he cannot be the Shogun...
1219
01:48:12,710 --> 01:48:17,050
he will certainly grow up into a great man because
1220
01:48:17,050 --> 01:48:19,080
he is the child of you and me.
1221
01:48:21,090 --> 01:48:22,990
And I would like to see it.
1222
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,230
Ofuku...
1223
01:48:34,270 --> 01:48:40,770
Think that there is no one but you and I here.
1224
01:48:41,440 --> 01:48:43,570
Speak the truth.
1225
01:48:46,480 --> 01:48:52,010
Is Takechiyo my child that you delivered?
1226
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,790
A dream...
1227
01:49:00,300 --> 01:49:02,200
It was a dream.
1228
01:49:04,530 --> 01:49:06,300
A dream?
1229
01:49:08,700 --> 01:49:14,510
Every woman who was born in a samurai family wishes...
1230
01:49:14,980 --> 01:49:19,070
to have a child by the greatest warlord in Japan.
1231
01:49:20,220 --> 01:49:23,280
We call it a dream. How else could we call it?
1232
01:49:25,650 --> 01:49:30,680
But a dream is just a dream after all.
1233
01:49:32,990 --> 01:49:39,300
And I shall never...
1234
01:49:40,300 --> 01:49:42,270
never dream again....
1235
01:49:46,810 --> 01:49:52,470
Never dream again about what happened years ago.
1236
01:50:00,260 --> 01:50:07,220
Lord Takechiyo is absolutely the present Shogun's child.
1237
01:50:14,440 --> 01:50:15,700
I understand.
1238
01:50:22,540 --> 01:50:26,540
Hidetada, as you heard.
1239
01:50:27,650 --> 01:50:32,520
It has been decided that your successor shall be Takechiyo.
1240
01:50:34,020 --> 01:50:38,190
I appreciate your kind consideration, Father.
1241
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:45,260
Excuse me.
1242
01:50:45,630 --> 01:50:48,870
Let me announce that Lord Takechiyo has arrived from Sunpu just now.
1243
01:50:49,070 --> 01:50:53,340
Has he? Bring him here immediately.
1244
01:51:23,140 --> 01:51:25,830
Come, come. Seat yourself here.
1245
01:51:31,580 --> 01:51:36,020
Everyone, this is Takechiyo, the successor to the Shogun.
1246
01:51:46,900 --> 01:51:50,800
Takechiyo later changedhis name to Iemitsu and
1247
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,170
became the third Tokugawa Shogun.
1248
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:58,630
By the way...
1249
01:51:59,570 --> 01:52:02,700
Ofuku, let me introduce you.
1250
01:52:04,780 --> 01:52:10,550
This is the treasure which is dearest to me now.
