All language subtitles for Shogun.1980.Part.3.720p.BluRay.x264.anoXmous_eng

Listen, brothers.

We are in judgment
over Brother Joseph,

who went with a whore
of this town last night,

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

his position as a Jesuit,
his place in the Church

and all that that stands for.

You, sinner.

Before God, you admit your sin?

It was the first time, Father.

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

I was tempted.

Blessed Madonna, forgive me.
I failed.

I beg forgiveness, Father.

As initial penance,
you are forbidden to talk.

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

You will spend the next 30 nights

on your knees in prayer
for forgiveness for your hideous sins.

And further,

you will be scourged.

Thirty lashes.
Take off your cassock.

I accept my punishment, Father,

but I will not be lashed
like a common criminal.

You will be scourged!

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

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

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

And I will endure it,

but I am samurai
and I will not be scourged.

Keep silent and obey,
or you are excommunicated.

Seize him and strip him.

Please, brother, give me the knife.

No!

Then pray for me, brother,

as I pray for you.

Stop!

- Michael.
- Yes.

Leave him alone.

God have mercy on you, Joseph.

You are excommunicated.

I renounce the Christian God.
I am Japanese.

My soul is my own now.

I am not afraid.

Satan has possessed
your soul on Earth,

as he will possess it after death.

Get thee gone.

Lord Toranaga has agreed.
He is going to Osaka.

Do you know what that means, pilot?

For you,

now that you are samurai,
samurai and hatamoto.

Now you will be ordered
to commit seppuku.

Suicide.

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

May God have mercy on you.

For as God is my judge,

I believe you will never leave
these islands.

Lord Toranaga is returning to Anjiro.

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

My husband will accompany him.

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

Thank you, Father.

Good morning, pilot.
How are you today?

Well, thank you. And you?

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

Not at all, Father.

I'm sure
these ladies won't object either.

Have you noticed, pilot,
there are no carriages in Japan?

Nothing with wheels.
They are of no use here.

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

Wheels would ruin the road,

so they are forbidden
to everyone except the emperor.

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

Look at this road we're traveling on.

I was wondering when you'd notice.

You knew?

I would like to speak with him.

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

I shall report this incident
to the Father-Visitor.

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

He has nothing to do
with you or your church anymore.

He's back where he belongs.

And you, samurai,
where do you belong?

If thou knewest how I love thee.

I love thee more.

Thou art my first love.

My only love.

But now I tremble with fear for thee.

There is no fear. There is only now.

I fear that I have destroyed thee,
my love.

By this beginning,

we are doomed, you and I.

I have destroyed thee.

I am not easily destroyed.

Karma is karma.

Thou art strong

and thou art samurai,

and I love thy touch.

And yet,

I am still afraid for thee.

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

I wish to be nowhere else.

Whatever else happens
on this journey is not important.

We will live this moment
until Yedo's first bridge.

There our journey must end.

No.

There must be an ending, my love.

The first bridge.
Our journey together ends.

- Swear it.
- I cannot.

Swear to me, I beg you.

The first bridge is but a dream.

I ask you with my heart.

Swear to me.

I swear I love thee.

The first bridge...

at Yedo.

I swear.

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

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

I bear you no malice, pilot.

I come now to bring you a gift.

Yes, a gift from God.

It is a Portuguese-Japanese
dictionary and grammar.

Three of our brethren
spent 27 years preparing it.

Why are you giving this to me?

Knowledge belongs to God,
not to man.

This is much too valuable
simply to give away.

What do you want in return?

Only that God may open your eyes.

Was it not Lord Toranaga's
request, Father?

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

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

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

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

Yes, perhaps you will...

if you have six months.

I hope to see you in Yedo,
Lady Toda.

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

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

Go with God, Father.

And you, my child.

What is it?

Nothing, my love, nothing.

Come back to sleep.

No, I want to be with thee.

Asleep or awake,
thou art with me constantly.

Yes.

Would we could live here forever.

Where is the inglés now, Father?

At one of the inns, south of Mishima.

They should reach the city tomorrow,

even at their leisurely pace.

Is he fit, the inglés?

Mm.

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

Surprised he's still alive.

Listen, Father, I know the inglés
is an enemy and a heretic,

but he saved my life,

and he's a pilot
before he's anything else.

One of the best
that there's ever been.

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

The Lord Jesus forgave his enemies.

Still they crucified him,
if you remember.

Yes.

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

pilots have a feeling for each other.

Pilot-Major Blackthorne
is a samurai.

- What?
- And hatamoto.

He wears the swords.

The inglés?

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

Madonna. That's hard to believe.

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

Why?

- I didn't know I was so hungry.
- Oh, uh, have some more, Father.

Capon? Bread?

Thank you.

The inglés,

why is he so dangerous?

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

And his cannon.

Blessed virgin, no.

- You find that serious?
- Serious?

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

or anywhere else, for that matter!

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

- Are you certain?
- Before God.

The inglés loose in Asian waters...

But you knew that.
You said he was dangerous.

Yes.

I still wanted to hear it from you.

What is it?

Nothing.

Nothing.

I just thought I felt the tide change.

Listen, Father,

hear my confession.

The first night...
The very first time the inglés

stood beside me
on the galley out to sea

when we were going from Anjiro,

my heart told me to kill him.

Lord Jesus help me,

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

and I deliberately swerved
into the wind.

But he didn't go overboard
as anyone else would have.

I thought that was the hand of God.

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

I was so ashamed, Father,

that I secretly begged
God's forgiveness

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

That man saved my life though
he knew I tried to murder him.

I saw it in his eyes.

He saved me and helped me live.

And now,

I've got to kill him.

- How many people live in Mishima?
- Sixty thousand.

It is only a small city.

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

Would you prefer to be
in Europe at this moment?

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

Yes.

This is the only world
that exists for me.

How far is Yedo?

Only a matter of time.

- How much time?
- Not enough.

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

I'll be damned. It worked.

"“Nothing more."

I love to touch thee.

I love thy touch.

I have never known the feeling.

My body and my soul
have learned so much from thee.

Then let me touch thee more,

beyond the first bridge at Yedo.

No, my love.

But do not speak of that now.

Tonight, the first bridge
does not exist.

It is ten million times
ten million sticks away.

Reality is only here.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

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

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

and then there is
no peace within me.

Yes.

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

Inglés, where the hell are you?

Rodrigues.

Go quickly, my love,
before Captain Yoshinaka comes.

Tell these monkeys to let me pass!

Rodrigues, I'm coming!

He is my friend.

Oh, Madonna,
you look good to me, inglés.

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

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

so I took a horse
and rode as if the devil was after me.

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

- Big barbarian bandit.
- Ha, ha. Come on.

Listen to you. Just like a Japper.

What the hell is this?

You tell him.
I'm not giving up my arms.

Like hell!

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

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

Nothing I can do.

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

Now what the hell is this?

Searched? No, by God!

Is this the way you usually
visit your friends?

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

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

And these?

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

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

Before God, is this all?

- I told you!
- Swear it!

By the Blessed virgin, I swear!

Is it all right to sit down, inglés?

Of course.

- Searched like a common criminal.
- You lied about your weapons.

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

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

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

Tonight I came in friendship,
now there's a hole in the world.

- Armed in friendship?
- Being friends with thee

complicated my life extraordinarily.

Thou art too dangerous, inglés.

So you came here to kill me?

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

Sad, but true.

How foolish life is, inglés.

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

Yes, I know.

Listen, inglés, if we meet at sea,

you in your ship, armed,
me in mine,

then look to your life.

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

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

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

Then it's all said.

Except for one thing.

That night on the frigate
when I threw you overboard,

that night your Lord Toranaga
sold you to Ferriera.

Who are your friends now?

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

that night you tried
to put me overboard.

Yes.

Yes, it's true.

And I don't ask for forgiveness.
Not anymore.

With thee,
heresy has come to Eden.

Captain Yoshinaka was right
to search him.

Was that your idea?

Please excuse me,
but I was afraid for you.

Sad, isn't it?

Not being able to trust anyone.

It is not sad, Anjin-san,

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

No more, no less.

We must cross the bridge now.

Now it exists, the first bridge.

We must go across.

It's only a bridge.

One of many.

It is the first bridge, Anjin-san,

and the last for us.

Yedo Castle,
the home of Lord Toranaga.

"Alvito is coming to Yedo."

"I wish to..."

I want to...

I want...

"I want Alvito to translate..."

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

When may I see
my ship and my crew?

My master says
you may see your men tonight.

He will decide about your ship later.

Please ask him if I might
speak to him privately.

- Privately?
- By myself.

Why? What are you going to say?

Hmm?

I am frightened, blessed Madonna,

and I am betrayed.

I know that suicide is mortal sin,

but what else can I do?

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

The sight
of the barbarian with his wife

had dishonored
Lord Buntaro once more.

Now his heart filled with rage.

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

I'm drunker than I thought.

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

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

Of course it's me.

We gave you up for dead long ago.

My prayers are answered,
for the love of Jesus.

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

Lads, look what Father Christmas
has brought us.

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

Where's Captain-General
Spillbergen?

Dead. He never come out of the pit.
Maetsukker too.

Little rat face, he just rotted to death.

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

I couldn't make
these yellow heathen understand.

He went raving.
We had to tie him down.

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

You haven't tried the grog yet, pilot.

We make it ourselves.
By the barrel. Heh.

Rice, fruit, water,
then we let it ferment.

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

But as fast as we make it, we drink it!

Ah, let the pilot talk.

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

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

Yes, they're real enough.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Listen, has anyone seen the ship?

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

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

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

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

Are we leaving, pilot?

Is there any enemy
shipping in the waters?

Are there any prizes to be taken?

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

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

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

How can we sail her?
There's six of us.

There will be a way.

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

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

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

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

- Hip, hip...
- Hooray!

I promised her rings for her fingers

I swore that I'd never
Set sail in foul weather

But stay by her side at the shore

Fare-thee-well
Oh, you Barbary merchants

Those God-cursed, filthy...!

Fare-thee-well
To the Straits of Gibraltar

And took her sweet vow in return

I swore that...

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

I know. When can I speak to thee?

That is very difficult now, Anjin-san.

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

My master asks if you saw your men.

There are only five now.
Two have died.

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

My master orders me to translate
everything that is said.

You must not speak at all.

Lord Suga asks
if he has offended my master.

My master asks if treason
is cause to be offended.

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

My master asks if Lord Suga
always obeys orders.

Lord Suga said always.

My master has ordered them
to put their children to death.

Lord Suga says
that his children are gone.

Lord Toranaga says
that the children are safe.

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

My master says that
foul times require foul tests.

Marko.

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

Ah. "Open it."

I understand you wanted to see me.

Yes.

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

Qr?

Or nothing will be said.

Perhaps that might be better,

- but you have my oath.
- Then let me hear it before God.

I solemnly swear before God

that what I hear now
shall never pass my lips again.

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

As you have just spoken,
so do I swear.

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

I humbly ask for her hand in marriage.

You can't be serious.

Ask him. In my words.

"“That is a very presumptuous request."

And Lord Toranaga forbids you
to ever speak of it again.

That is all.

Forbidden by Lord Toranaga

to even speak
of taking Marikos hand in marriage,

Blackthorne's world diminished
into a sadness he had never known,

lost in this foreign land,

and only days before Lord Toranaga

had to appear
before the Council of Regents.

Fujiko-san.

How did you get here?

Ah.

But your legs...

Show me.

That's incredible, for burns
to heal so quickly. How...?

No tears.

But Fujiko wept from shame,

the shame that she had not
served him as her duty required.

Oh, how I have missed thee.

And I have missed thee.

There is much to say.

No.

Only that I love thee with all my heart,
and I fear for thee still.

Do not be afraid.

Everything is going to be all right.

That is what I tell myself.

But today, it is impossible to accept
karma and the will of God.

You've been so distant.

This is Yedo, my love,

and beyond the first bridge.

And more?

Yes. And more.

Lord Toranaga's decision to surrender
is so dishonorable and useless.

I never thought
I could say that out loud.

But I have to say it.

Forgive my weakness.

And when he goes to Osaka,
what will happen to you?

It will be over.

For me.

For all of us.

If Lord Toranaga dies,
we cannot be left alive.

Then you must come with me.
We must escape.

There is no escape.
You must accept that.

- There is, if Lord Toranaga allows it.
- Why should he allow it?

Because if I capture the Black Ship
and threaten next year's as well,

Lord Toranaga can force the priests

to make all the Christian lords
come to his side.

That will make him more powerful
than lshido and the Council of Regents.

That will make him Shogun.

- I don't understand.
- It all comes down to money.

The Jesuits must have money.
Spain and Portugal must have money.

Taking the Black Ship
will prove I can do it.

There's only one man who can
stop me from taking every Black Ship.

Lord Toranaga.

They'll have to support him
in exchange for safe passage.

- Do you really believe that?
- I know it.

- Will you help me?
- I cannot betray the Church.

I only ask that you talk
to Lord Toranaga,

or help me talk to him.

I know he understands this.

I know I can convince him.

Lord Toranaga is waiting.

Then we must go quickly.

No matter what happens,
remember only this:

I love thee.

The first bridge cannot change that.
Nothing can change that.

Lord Yabu says that
my master is not feeling well,

so he has come in his place.

Those are the first of your samurai.
Lord Yabu asks if you accept them.

- What happens if I don't accept them?
- They will lose their heads.

But Lord Yabu says
that has nothing to do with it.

I accept them all.

On my honor as a samurai, I swear,

your enemies are my enemies,
and total obedience.

Lord Yabu suggests
you reject this man.

Do you think I should reject you?

I beg you to accept me, Anjin-san.
I will do anything you ask.

Or anything Father Alvito asks.

Please kill me the moment
you even question my absolute loyalty.

You wish to keep your head
a little bit longer?

I wish to serve you, Anjin-san.

I accept you, Urano-san.

She says Lord Onoshi
will poison Lord Kiyama

during the Feast of the Blessed
St. Bernard this year.

They are both Christian lords,

both members
of the Council of Regents.

And she said

Lord lshido knows and agrees to it,
providing my master is already dead.

But if that's true...

Where did Kiku-san
get this information?

She says that men need
to tell secrets in the night.

Yabu-sama says my master
has given your ship back to you.

My ship? Now?

Yes, now.

Yabu-sama says
you must go with him.

My master has ordered you
to take your ship to Anjiro immediately.

What was that? Osaka?

- I am to leave tomorrow.
- Why?

I do not know, Anjin-san.

Until Osaka.

Until then.

Until then.

- Thank God, it's you.
- What's happening, pilot?

We was asleep, then the door
burst open and they brought us here.

I thought they were going to kill us.

We're taking the Erasmus
back to Anjiro.

- We've not enough men to set sail.
- We'll be towed by that galley.

If that's all it is, then what's the hurry?

We've got our ship back.
Don't argue, just do as I say.

Ginsel, go forward,
you'll swing the lead.

Vinck, take the helm.

Jan Roper, stand by the forewinch.
Salamon and Croocq, aft.

May God curse her
and all who sail in her.

Except one, Father.

One of our people
sails with this ship.

Yes, a soldier of God.

I fear the heretic
will wound us terribly, Michael.

Perhaps not, Father.

Why else has Lord Toranaga
given him back his ship?

To harry us
and to attack the Black Ship.

God help us,
Lord Toranaga has forsaken us too.

We have forsaken him, Father.

But he still has promised us
the cathedral.

Yes, the cathedral.
The work has begun.

Mariko-san?

It's me, Father Alvito.

I was just coming to see you.

What can I do for you?

I wish to be confessed.

Then let it be here.

Let your confession
be the first in this place,

though the ground
is barely hallowed.

- Before God...
- Before I begin, Father, I beg a favor.

Of me or of God?

I beg a favor before God.

What is thy favor?

The Anjin-san's life
in return for knowledge.

I cannot grant such a favor.

It is nof mine to give.

You cannot barter with God.

Very well.

Then please excuse me.

I will put the request
before the Father-Visitor.

That is not enough.

I will put it before him,
and I will beg him in God's name

to consider your petition.

Lord Onoshi will poison Lord Kiyama

during the Feast
of the Blessed St. Bernard.

Lord Onoshi's son will take over
all of Lord Kiyama's lands.

Lord lshido has agreed to this,

providing my master has already
gone into the Great Void.

That's not possible.

Besides, who could ever
find out such information?

Urano...

Urano was Lord Onoshi's confessor.

Oh, mother of God.

Urano has broken
the sanctity of the confessional.

And the Englishman...

the heretic is now his lord.

But you must keep
your promise before God.

Let me hear thy confession.

Forgive me, Father,
for I have sinned.

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

Daughter of God,

let me beg God's forgiveness
for thy sins,

and let me, in his name,

absolve thee and make thee
whole in his sight.

May I speak to you, Anjin-san?

Not now, Urano.

- But this cannot wait.
- What is it?

I think it is possible that there are
Christians among your samurai.

It is important you find out at once.
You are their enemy.

With your permission, Anjin-san.

What's that for?

Please, Anjin-san.

- Make every samurai do the same.
- Why?

If they are Christians,
you will find them.

All right, order it done.

- You do the same.
- What for?

To show them. Come on,
before I put my foot on your backs.

We're not stinking pagan wogs.

They're not stinking pagan wogs.
They're samurai, by God!

I'll be the first.

Anjin.

- Vinck and Urano, come with me.
- What about us?

You'll leave for Yedo in the morning.
The ship's to stay here until my return.

- How do we get to Yedo?
- By land.

- And when is your return?
- After Osaka and Nagasaki.

- After I've bought a crew.
- What about them?

They're not sailors.
But I should be able to find 2O men.

And after you've found them,
how do we know you'll send for us?

One more word and you're dead.

Hold your tongue or they'll take
your head just for your bad manners.

Open the gate.

- How soon can we sail for Macao?
- An hour. What happened?

- The worst thing you can imagine.
- The inglés? He's put to sea?

But he has no crew,
he can do nothing without trained men.

He can speak their gibberish now.
Why can't he use monkeys?

- There are enough Jappo pirates.
- No, captain.

He's got to get his men from Nagasaki.
He's got to buy his crew there.

With the promise of the Black Ship,
he can buy all the men he needs.

- Perhaps he can buy you too!
- Watch your words.

You motherless, milkless Spaniard.
It's your fault he's still alive.

Twice you let him escape.

You should have killed him
when he was at your power.

Perhaps.

That's froth on my life's wake.
I went to kill him when I could.

Did you? That's easy to say.

I've told you 20 times.
Have you no ears?

Or is it Spanish dung in your ears
as well as in your mouth?

I tell you before God,

the inglés must be devil-spawned.

You see what he's done?
He has put a spell on all of us.

Yes.

It would seem so.

Sail, Rodrigues. Sail for Macao.

What's the castle like, pilot?

Like nothing you've ever seen before.

Just pray you don't see it any closer
than you have to.

Right here's close enough.

- How long do we stay here?
- A day or two. With our heads down.

Long enough for Yabu-san to arrange
for safe conducts to Nagasaki.

- This cursed country's no good for us.
- Aye.

We'll be home again some day, Vinck.
Whenever that day is.

Aye.

And rich too, pilot, eh?
Isn't that what you said?

Aye.

Ask who it is.

I do not have to ask, sire.

That is Prince Ogaki from the court
of His Imperial Highness.

- What the hell is he doing here?
- I do not know, but it is a great honor.

- Lord Ishido knows we're here.
- Yes, sire, it appears that way.

Lord Yabu has been ordered
to the castle immediately.

He says that you have been invited
to the formal reception

given by Lord lshido
to honor the birthday of Lady Ochiba.

An escort will come for you tomorrow.

By God,
I'll not walk in that castle again!

Who is this Lady Ochiba?

She is the most
powerful lady in all Japan.

To be invited to her birthday reception
is truly an honor, sire.

An honor?

Wearing the hat and robe

of a Buddhist priest as disguise,

Urano spent the day
outside Osaka Castle

observing everyone who entered.

Then, at nightfall, he passed
through Lord lshido's guards

and returned to the galley.

Pilot.

Look there, by the warehouse.

I tried to be most careful.
Please excuse me for not seeing him.

There's nothing
to be done about it now.

I'll finish this watch
and wake you at dawn.

Aye, pilot, if that's what you want.

I was beginning to worry.
What happened?

I waited outside the castle
until just after dark.

- Doing what?
- Watching, sire.

Many passers-by put coins
into my begging bowl.

I saw Lady Toda arrive.

- Yoshinaka was leading the escort.
- Go on.

They say that the Council of Regents
is to be convened in 19 days.

And that His Imperial Majesty,
the emperor, will be there.

Lord Toranaga has no choice
but to appear before him.

It will be Lord Toranaga's
death day, sire.

And on that day, we will all die.

But before that day, I'll buy a crew
in Nagasaki and my ship will sail.

The Erasmus at sea
can change everything.

Everything but one thing, sire.

It cannot change karma.

Aye, karma.

Urano!

- What the hell's going on, pilot?
- Watch out!

Urano...

Or death.

If I was you, pilot, I wouldn't go.

I have no choice, Vinck.

- What am I supposed to do?
- Wait.

If it was up to me,
I'd get us the hell out of here right now.

We stay. Can't you understand?
We stay until we're allowed to leave.

We stay until lshido says we can go.
Do you understand that now?

I understand it,
but I'll be poxed if I like it.

By God,
you better come back for me.

I'm like a moth in a bottle here.

Like a moth in a bottle.

This day is beautiful
because of thy presence.

Please tell the Lady Ochiba

that in my land it is our custom

always to give a gift to a lady
on her birthday.

Even a queen.
Just tell her, please.

The Lady Ochiba
says she's not a queen,

only the mother of the heir
and the widow of the Lord Taiko.

But as a lady on her birthday,

Lady Ochiba asks permission
to accept your present.

I am not a barbarian.

I am samurai.

Following
Lord Toranagas instructions,

Mariko told them that she'd been
ordered to escort Lady Kiri

and Lady Sazuko from the castle.

"Impossible! You may not leave!"
Lord lshido answered.

"Then you are preventing me
from doing my duty," Mariko said.

"And I cannot live with this shame."

What the hell is going on?

Please listen and do not ask
questions for the moment.

Lord Toranaga
ordered me to escort

Lady Kiri and Lady Sazuko
to meet him.

His order was that
we leave tomorrow.

Yes, then what happened?

Lord lshido refuses
to give his permission.

He says that we cannot leave,

therefore he is preventing me
from doing my duty to my liege lord.

I cannot live with that shame.

And unless Lord lshido
changes his mind,

I am bound by my honor
to commit seppuku before sunset.

No.

- You must understand, my love.
- What? That you will die?

- No.
- Hear me, my love. I will tell you.

Shall we go sit there, Anjin-san?

- They can hear us.
- Yes.

Keep thy voice soft
and tell me that you love me.

I love thee, and I cannot bear
the thought of thy death.

My heart is filled with joy,
joy and love for thee.

Then why?

Was this planned? Was your threat
given on Lord Toranaga's orders?

It was not a threat,
but the order was his.

Then he has betrayed you.
You're only bait for his trap.

You and I and Lord Yabu,
we've been sent here as a sacrifice.

You are wrong. I am sorry.

I tell thee thou art beautiful
and I love thee, but thou art a liar.

Are we going to quarrel about things
that cannot be changed?

They can be changed.
I can change them.

No, my love.

Then death is thy aim.

The life of my master is my aim.

- And thy life.
- Is there no escape?

Be patient.
The sun has not yet set.

I have no confidence in the sun.

Believe, my love.

Believe there is a tomorrow.

"Are you so eager to die?"

"Here are the permits for you
to leave at dawn tomorrow. Al! of you."

Despite their love, Kiku wept.

Lord Toranaga
had bought her contract.

She belonged to him.

Now she and Omi
could never be together.

Never.

"Lord Yabu,
do you wish to live until tomorrow?"

"Now, perhaps,
you would care to listen."

Sleep again, my love.

No.

I would rather be with thee.

I am glad thou art alive.

I saw thee dead.

Before, I thought
I'd never see thee asleep again.

I saw only death.

Yours, mine, everyone's.

But then I saw into your plan.

It was very long in the making.

Yes.

Since the day of the earthquake.

Please forgive me.
I was afraid you wouldn't understand.

It was my karma to bring the hostages
out of Osaka Castle.

And now it is done.

The victory is thine.

Ya bu-sa ma?

Pretending for the guards

that Captain Yoshinaka
was going to sleep,

Yabu followed the instructions
Lord lshido had given him.

"NARRATOR". Yabu could not prevent
what was about to happen.

If he had any chance
to survive the night

it would be on the side of strength.

And Lord Ishido
was master of Osaka Castle.

This day more than anything
had convinced Yabu

that his karma was to live,
no matter what it might cost.

Any fife was less valuable
than his own.

Keep running!

Sono!

What the hell is going on?

This... This is Lord Toranaga's
secret room.

- What did he say?
- Open the door or they'll blow it open.

He says they only want you
as a hostage.

Everyone else will go free.

No! It's a trick!

Don't believe them.
They don't want you, they want me.

- Why?
- Don't you understand? It's me.

Then it will be all for nothing.
Lord Toranaga will have to come.

Get back!

Try to delay them.

Keep talking!

I, Toda Mariko...

protest this shameful attack...

- ...by my death.
- No!

Mark)'.!

Mark)'.!

Oh, God.

Is she here?

Who is it?

I am Brother Michael, Anjin-san.

I was with Father Alvito at Yokose.
We traveled together.

Brother Joseph, Urano Tadamasa
was my friend.

What do you want?

I am your guide, Anjin-san.

I have been sent to guide you
back to the ship.

We are to leave
as soon as you are able.

Who sent you?

Lord lshido made the request
of His Eminence, the Father-Visitor.

The doctor says
your eyes are healing very well.

Soon you will be able to see again
little by little.

He says that you must be patient.

- I'll see again?
- Yes, Anjin-san.

- May I help you up, Anjin-san?
- No, thank you. I can do it.

My swords.

I will get them for you.

- Is that right?
- Yes, Anjin-san.

If you put your hand on my shoulder,
I will guide you.

- You're taking me to the galley?
- Yes. Those were my instructions.

Nowhere else?

You can trust me, Anjin-san.

I don't seem to have much choice.

- Are we going alone?
- There will be a samurai escort.

- Brown or gray?
- Neither.

They are Lord Kiyama's samurai.
Christian samurai.

- What are they doing here?
- My father is cousin to Lord Kiyama.

- We are all Christians.
- Christians killed your friend Urano.

Murderers did that, Anjin-san.
They will be judged.

But it is true that great evil
happens on Earth in God's name.

What will happen on the galley,
Brother Michael?

I don't know, Anjin-san.

You already know
so much, and in such a short time.

Marko-sama was a great teacher.

You are a worthy samurai,
Anjin-san.

Unpredictability.

The Taiko had it,
Toranaga-sama has it too.

You see, we are usually
a very predictable people.

- Are you?
- Yes.

- Predict a way I can escape this trap.
- There is no way, Anjin-san.

Where are you taking me?

As I told you, to the galley.

But first, we will stop
at the Jesuit mission.

I was told to inform His Eminence,
the Father-Visitor, as we passed.

You said before
that you had little choice.

It is even less than that.

Please.

Anjin-san, take my shoulder.

I am pleased to see you,
Captain-Pilot Blackthorne.

Yes, I can imagine.

Brother Michael has informed me
that your eyes are healing well

and that soon you will see again.

If I live long enough.

- When does the Inquisition begin?
- Inquisition?

- Is that what you are thinking?
- What else was there to think?

Only that I wish to assure
your safety personally.

- Why?
- The Black Ship is here in Osaka.

- You're not putting me on board.
- Certainly not.

I simply want to see you
safely back aboard the galley.

Shall we go?

- Blessed mother of God.
- What is it?

I'm afraid that you are right.
It is the Inquisition.

- Who?
- Captain Ferriera and his men.

There is a stake for burning,
and his men are all armed.

- Brother Michael, are you here?
- Yes, Anjin-san, I am here.

Listen, brother, before you said
I was a worthy samurai.

- Did you mean it?
- Yes. That and everything else.

- Then I beg a favor as a samurai.
- What favor?

To die as a samurai.

Your death isn't in my hands.

It is in the hands of God, Anjin-san.

- What are you going to do?
- There is no other way to pass.

Come, Captain Blackthorne.

Good evening, Eminence.

- Is this your idea?
- Yes, Eminence.

- Go back aboard the ship.
- This is a military decision, Eminence.

- Go aboard your ship!
- No!

I have been waiting for you, inglés.

That pleases me not at all.

Tonight, you will be pleased in hell,
heretic.

You motherless coward!

- Disarm him.
- Put down your guns.

Before God, I order you to stop.
Get back, all of you. Get back.

- I want that man.
- You can't have him.

Order your men aboard.

I order you to turn around
and go away.

- You order me?
- Yes, I order you.

I am captain of the Black Ship,
governor of Macao,

chief officer of Portugal in Asia.

And that man is a threat
to the state, the Church,

the Black Ship and Macao.

This man is blind.

Stand aside! Stand aside!

Before God, I shall excommunicate
you and all your crew,

if this man is harmed.

Do you understand?

I am military commander in Asia,

and I say he's a threat!

This is a Church matter,
not a military one.

I caution you again.

As God is my judge,
I shall inform Lisbon.

If you don't order your men
aboard ship now,

I will remove you
as captain of the Black Ship.

You don't have that power.

I have the power to excommunicate
you and curse you

and everyone who serves you
in the name of God.

He can do it, captain.
And, Madonna, he will.

Order the men aboard.

Captain, do you hear?

God curse you, inglés!

What happened? Who's dead?

The captain, inglés.

It's the captain.

You've got the devil's luck
on your back.

Brother Michael.

It was my duty, Eminence,
to protect you.

My duty.

Yes, Michael, yes.

What about the Black Ship?
We were sailing on the tide.

- Then sail.
- With no captain?

You shall be captain, Rodrigues.
I will do the necessary letters.

The captain's share will be yours.

Captain? Me?

- And governor of Macao?
- Yes, and governor of Macao.

Well, the devil's luck is on your back
as well, but it won't be enough.

- What do you mean, inglés?
- I'll sail after you and the Black Ship.

With what?
You have no ship, inglés.

At Anjiro. And my eyes are healing.
I'll catch you at sea.

No, inglés. The Erasmus is dead.
Burned to her spine.

Heh. A Spaniard's wish.

It's true. It was the hand of God.

- You lie.
- No, captain, he speaks the truth.

A tidal wave heeled your ship.
The oil lamps on deck spread fire...

- I don't believe you.
- Before God.

You're beached, inglés.

You're marooned.

You're here forever.

Beached. Forever.

May the winds carry you to hell,
Rodrigues!

They may, inglés, they may.

But you will never sail again.

Jesus, pilot,
what happened to you?

Where's the captain?

Tell him to set sail now,
we're going back to Anjiro.

- But you said Nagasaki.
- Now, Vinck, damn you. Now!

You are safe here,
Captain Blackthorne.

I will leave you now.

Why? Why did you save me?

- For your soul and mine and...
- And what?

That is reason enough.

Goodbye, Anjin-san.

Go with God.

I told him, pilot. Anjiro it is.

For the love of Christ, pilot.

What's amiss?

They told me...

They told me the Erasmus is lost.

Our ship is lost. Fired.

Oh, God, let it be a lie.

- Can you see her yet?
- No, pilot. We're still not at the point.

What is it?
Can you see, Vinck? Tell me.

Tell me, damn you. Is it true?

Aye, pilot.

Even more true than that.

Tell me what you see.

She's just lying there,

what's left of her.

Aground.

Masts gone,

decks gone.

Everything. Dear God.

What about the keel? Can you see it?

Aye.

Looks like they beached her.

The monkeys.

If you've a God-cursed fire
and you're by a God-cursed shore,

you beach her to fight it there.

Even these heathens know that.

You should never
have left her to them.

What are we going to do now?

How are we going to get home?

You should have left her at Yedo.

- Maybe they did beach her.
- Yes.

But the muck-eaters
didn't put out the fire.

God curse them all to hell.

You should never
have let Jappos on her.

We're helpless now. We're dead.

The ship is dead.

The Erasmus,
that was Alvito's curse.

What?

The priest, Father Alvito,
he said the die was cast.

What are you talking about?

He said I'd never leave these islands.

Marooned for the rest
of our lives, aren't we, pilot?

Groveling to these
God-cursed heathens

for the rest of our muck-eating lives!

And how long will that be,
when all they talk about is war?

War, war! Answer me, pilot.

Yes, Vinck. Now shut up!

"Shut up," is it?

No.

I speak when I damn choose
and I say what I damn please!

It's your fault! Yours!

You brought us
to this stinking place!

You said, "Come to the Japans."

How many died coming?

Answer me that, if you can.

- God rot you! You're to blame!
- Yes!

The blame is mine.

Does that make you feel better?
What do you want me to tell you?

I'm sorry, Vinck.

I'm sorry.

Sorry"?

Is that all you are?

- How are we going to get home?
- I don't know.

But you've got to know.
Damn you, you're the pilot!

What do you expect me to do?
Change what's happened?

If I could...

My heart's been torn out, Vinck.
Can't you understand that?

The ship is lost,
my dreams lost with her.

Everything.

They've taken everything of value
from my life.

She's gone, Vinck,
and I can't change that.

Gone.

Another of our ships
will come here some day.

We'll just have to wait.

Wait?

How long are we going to wait?

Five muck-plagued years?

Twenty?

The rest of our rotten,
miserable lives?

With these black-eyed monkeys?

That's what they are! Monkeys!

Always gibbering and staring at you.

I can't stand to look at them anymore!

Dear Jesus!

Jesus!

Now they're at war.

That's what you said, isn't it?

All of them running around
with their damned swords!

They're going to kill us! Kill us!

We're dead, pilot! Dead!

Hold yourself, Vinck!

The monkeys are coming for us!

They're going to chop off our heads
and stick them up for the birds to eat!

The birds will pluck out our eyes!

They're coming!

They're coming!

Vinck!

Vinck!

Vinck. Vinck, where are you?

Vinck!

Vinck.

- Toranaga-sama!
- Toranaga-sama!

Anjin.

Alvito.

Priest! He burned my ship!

Anjin.

Anjin-sama.

Marks'?

Lord Toranaga has questioned me
about the burning of your ship.

I told him neither I
nor anyone I know of

ordered or assisted
in the sabotage of your ship.

He may believe you, I don't.

Lord Toranaga requests that I swear
a holy oath to you and to him

that I am speaking the truth.

He demands it.

Or he says that he will withdraw
all his support

forever from me and my Church.

Then swear, priest.
Swear your holiest oath.

And then will you believe me?

Will you?

I swear solemnly

before God the father,
the son and the Holy Ghost,

before all things sacred and holy,
that I speak the truth.

Neither I nor anyone I know of

ordered or assisted
in the burning of your ship.

This I swear before God.

Lord Toranaga asks
if you believe me now.

I am not your enemy, pilot.

In fact, I'm a better friend
than you suspect.

Omi.

Kiku.

Lord Toranaga has just given you
this lady's contract.

- She now belongs to you.
- "Belongs"?

Lord Toranaga said that
you may do with her as you wish.

What did he mean, "belongs"?

She is yours.

You own this lady.

Omi-san.

Lord Toranaga's request
was a simple one.

Would Lord Yabu please explain
why he kilted Captain Yoshinaka?

"Who dares to accuse me?"
Yabu demanded.

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to startle you.

I shall be leaving in the morning.

I don't know if we'll ever talk again,
and there are things I'd like to say.

Then say them.

I wanted you to know before I go,

that I know what the loss
of Mariko-san means to you.

And I wanted you to know that...

That I know what you meant to her.

How could you know that?

She came to me

the night you left Yedo.

I'm afraid our destinies
are interlocked, pilot.

Did Mariko-san ever tell you that?

She told me.

What else did she tell you?

She asked me to be your friend.

To protect you if I could.

And I will try.

You see,

you will never leave here,
Anjin-san.

I told you that before, and I say it
again with no malice, truly.

You're a brave man, a fine adversary,
one to respect, and I do.

There should be peace between us.

How can there be?

Lord Yabu says that
he gives you his sword

to commemorate your arrival,

and as a thank-you for the pleasure...

For the pleasure that
boiling that barbarian gave him.

Lord Yabu says that none of these...

manure-eaters deserves the blade.

You do.

Take it, please.

He asks you to be his witness.

Lord Yabu says that now you will see
how a real samurai dies.

That was Lord Yabu's death poem.
It goes:

The blue sky above the Earth

White clouds rise towards heaven

Life is only a butterfly's dream

Death the way to eternal life

Omi.

Anjin.

Lord Toranaga is changing your fief.

He is giving you Anjiro.

Lord Toranaga has made you
samurai and hatamoto.

He asks why you are standing here
so stupid and weak.

Anjin.

Before Mariko left Yedo,
she gave this to Lord Toranaga.

She said if you were still alive
after Osaka you were to have it.

Lord Toranaga asks
if you are still alive.

Lord Toranaga said,
"Then act alive."

"Thou, I love thee."

If this is read by thee,
then I am dead in Osaka,

and perhaps because of me,
thy ship is dead too.

I may sacrifice this most prized part
of thy life because of my faith,

to safeguard my Church.

But more to save thy life, which is
more precious to me than anything,

even the interest
of my Lord Toranaga.

Thee or thy ship.

I am sorry,
but I choose life for thee.

Thy ship is doomed anyway,
with or without thee.

I will concede thy ship to thine enemy
so that thou may live.

This ship is nothing.

Build another. This thou can do.

Lord Toranaga will give thee
all the craftsmen necessary.

He needs you and your ships.

And from my personal estate,

I have willed to thee
ail the money necessary.

Build another ship
and build another fife, my love.

Take next year's Black Ship
and live forever.

Listen, my dear one,

my Christian soul prays to see thee
again in a Christian heaven.

My Japanese hara prays that,
in the next fife,

I will be whatever is necessary
to bring thee joy

and to be with thee
wherever thou art.

Forgive me,

but thy life is all important.

"I love thee."

Yoshi Toranaga,
Lord of the Kwanto, told himself,

"Yes, build your ship, Anjin-san,"

and I shall destroy her
as I destroyed the other one.

And when the time is right,
I shall tell you why.

It was your ship or your life.
I, too, choose your fife.

You have much to teach me,
Anjin-san,

once I have won,
if I win, when I win,

when the real prize will be won.

Mariko, it was your karma to die
gloriously and five forever.

Anjin-san, my friend, it is your karma
never to leave this land.

And my karma,
my karma, which I did not choose,

"my karma is to be Shogun."

That year, at dawn
on the 21 st day of the 10th month,

"the Month without Gods,"
the main armies clashed.

It was in the mountains near
Sekigahara astride the North Road.

By late afternoon, Toranaga had won
the battle, and the slaughter began.

Forty thousand heads were taken.

Three days later,
lshido was captured alive.

Toranaga sent him in chains
to Osaka for public viewing,

ordering him planted in the earth
with only his head showing.

Passers-by were invited to saw
at the most famous neck in the realm

with a bamboo saw.

Lshido lingered three days
and died very old.

Within the year,
the emperor invited Yoshi Toranaga,

Lord of the Kwanto,
to become Shogun.

And, reluctantly, Toranaga agreed.
