Konnichiwa, Toranaga-sama.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

My master asks
what you were doing.

Uh, it was just a dance, Mariko-san.
A sailor's dance.

My master says
he would like to see your dance.

- Now?
- Of course now.

[SINGING]
I promised her rings for her fingers

Sparkling flowers for her flaxen hair

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

Fare-thee-well
To the Spanish blockade

Fare-thee-well
To the Straits of Gibraltar

And the treacherous seas of Cathay

I gave her my word to be married

And took her sweet vow in return

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

[GIGGLING]

But stay by her side at the shore

Fare-thee-well
To you Barbary merchants

Fare-thee-well
To the Spanish blockade

Fare-thee-well
To the Straits of Gibraltar

And the treacherous seas of Cathay

- Lord Toranaga will dance your dance.
- [IN NORMAL VOICE] What?

[SINGING]
I promised her rings for her fingers

Sparkling flowers for her flaxen hair

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

Fare-thee-well
To the Spanish blockade

Fare-thee-well
To the Straits of Gibraltar

And the treacherous seas of Cathay

I gave her my promise to marry

And took her sweet vow in return

I swore that I'd never

But stay by her side at the shore

Fare-thee-well
Oh, you Barbary merchants

Fare-thee-well
To the Spanish blockade

Fare-thee-well
To the Straits of Gibraltar

[GIGGLING]

And the treacherous seas of Cathay

I built her a cottage in Chatham

Gave her children to sit by the fire

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

But stay by her side at the shore

[TORANAGA GRUNTING]

Fare-thee-well
Oh, you Barbary merchants

Fare-thee-well
To the Spanish blockade

Fare-thee-well
To the Straits of Gibraltar

And the treacherous seas of Cathay

But a cottage is too small for a sailor

Without the blue sea and the sky

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

I left her behind at the shore

Take me back
Oh, you Barbary merchants

Let me risk the Spanish blockade

Carry me to the Straits of Gibraltar

And the treacherous seas of Cathay

[BOTH LAUGHING]

MARI KO:
My master says

that he would be pleased
for you to accept this as a gift.

Arigato gozaimashita,
Toranaga-sama.

Lord Toranaga
has enjoyed your dance.

Maybe one day
he will show you a dance of his.

[TORANAGA
SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[RAKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

My master says
that you will leave at dusk.

- Dusk?
- Is that not a correct expression?

Yes, but you told me
I'd be, uh, leaving in a few days.

Yes, but now he has said
that you will leave this evening.

He is sending the Lady Kiri-same
to Yedo to prepare for his return.

You will go with her.

Is it possible, uh...?

- Will I see Lord Toranaga before I go?
- I do not know.

I wanted to ask him, to request,

if it would be possible
to release Friar Domingo.

He's the monk I met in prison.

My master sent for the man yesterday
after you mentioned him,

but I am sorry,
the man was already dead.

H OW?

My master told me that he died
when his name was called out.

Poor man.

Lord Toranaga will tell you
that life and death are the same.

And is that what you believe as well?

You have seen what I believe.

[RAKO SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

Rako-san says
your dance was very excellent.

She'd like to ask a question.

What is it?

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Rako-san asks if your women
are the same as us in body.

I assume so.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

Asa-san asks, in pillowing, how do you
compare your women with ours?

Pillowing? I don't understand.

Pillowing is our way of referring

to the physical joining
of man and woman.

I have nothing
to base the comparison on.

MARIKO: You haven't pillowed
since you have been here?

No.

You must be feeling
very constricted, neh?

One of these ladies
would be delighted to pillow with you.

Or all of them, if you wish.

All?

Certainly. But if you don't want them,
there is no need to worry.

They would not be offended.

Tell me the sort of lady you would like,
we shall make all the arrangements.

Uh, thank you, but, um, uh...

Perhaps later.

Are you sure?

Excuse me, but my master
has given specific instructions

that your health is to be protected
and improved.

How can you be healthy
without pillowing?

It is very important for a man. Yes?

Thank you, uh, but I, uh...

Not now. Hmm?

Or maybe you would prefer a boy?

- A boy?
MARIKO: Only if you wish it.

I do not wish it.

Do I look like
a God-cursed sodomite?

Please forgive me.
I have made a terrible mistake.

I was only trying to please,

but I have never
known an Englishman before,

so I have no way of knowing your...

Your intimate customs.

Well, lady, my intimate customs
do not include boys.

Please forgive me for offending you.

It was entirely my fault,
due to my stupidity and ignorance.

NARRATOR: Since Biackthorne
had told Lord Toranaga

that his rutters, the ship's log detailing
her long voyage, had been stolen,

Father Aivito knew

that the continued possession
of these papers could be dangerous.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

There would be disadvantages in
giving up the documents to Toranaga,

not the {east of which was explaining
how Father Sebastio in Anjiro

had removed them
from the Englishman's ship.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Pilot-Major Blackthorne?

I didn't know that you were here.

Where did you think I was?
Still in that foul prison?

- You are becoming quite Japanese.
- I'm learning.

No. I doubt you will ever learn enough
to understand these people.

Do you?

I have lived here since I was a boy.

Does that surprise you?

Yes, I was ordained here as well.

Their language
is as natural to me as my own...

...and still they are a mystery.

- I'm pleased to hear it.
- Why?

It will not help you to be my enemy,
pilot-major.

- That is a fight you surely will lose.
- I choose my fights carefully.

But when I do fight, I win.

Then let me tell you something,
Englishman.

You will not choose your next fight.

War is coming to this country.

The empire is divided into two camps:
Toranaga's and lshido's.

If you think that kimono
will keep you safe,

you are sadly mistaken.

Whose side are you on, priest?

On the side of peace.

Always on the side of peace.

Listen to me.

If you can persuade Toranaga to return
your ship, leave before it's too late.

Leave as quickly as you can.

You mean leave before
the Black Ship arrives, don't you?

- Who spoke to you of the Black Ship?
- Who sends hired assassins at night?

You will burn in hell
for all eternity, heretic.

You will burn in hell.

That I promise you.

BLACKTHORNE:
ls Lord Toranaga coming with us?

MARIKO: No. He cannot leave
without Lord lshido's permission.

You will be safer in Yedo.

- When will Lord Toranaga come?
- I do not know.

Whenever he can.

- How do we get to Yedo?
- On the galley.

And then what will happen to me?

That is for Lord Toranaga to decide.

Now we will be leaving.

[LADY KIRI
SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Why 'vs Lady Km crying'?

She is unhappy to be separated
from Sazuko-san,

even for this short time.

- Is that her daughter?
MARIKO: Daughter? No.

The Lady Sazuko is the youngest
of Lord Toranaga's consorts.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Lord Buntaro requests
that you walk beside my palanquin.

Who is he?

Lord Buntaro, Lord of Sakura.

He is the son of Hiromatsu-sama.

He is my husband.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

MARIKO:
Lord lshido!

BLACKTHORNE: What does he want?
MARIKO: I don't know.

Lord lshido has a message
for his niece in Yedo.

He asks if Lady Kiri-sama
will take it.

Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha...

It's bad luck in my country for a prince
to give a message like a commoner.

You cannot touch a prince.
Very bad luck! The worst luck there is.

Thy master is in here! Help me!

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[BLACKTHORNE MUTTERING]

No. Please.

Tell them to follow me!
Tell them I've gone mad!

[BLACKTHORNE LAUGHING
AND SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Out of my way! Out of my way!

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

- Are they coming? I can't keep this up.
MARIKO: Yes! Yes, Anjin-san.

Our people are coming.
You can stop dancing now.

MARIKO:
You are a brave man, Anjin-san.

I thank you for saving him.

Why didn't Lord Toranaga leave the
castle openly? Why the masquerade?

No one leaves Osaka Castle
without Lord lshido's permission.

Not even my master.

- Did you know he was there?
- No, not until you told me.

- But you saw earlier.
- Yes.

And I saw what you did,

putting yourself between
lshido's arrow and my back.

- Your bravery is greater than mine.
- No, please. You must not say that.

That is the truth.
How do you say "truth" in Japanese?

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

Then it is honto
that you are braver than I.

You are brave and you are beautiful.

You have a honeyed tongue.

That you are beautiful
is honto as well.

MARIKO: Here it is not wise
to notice another man's woman.

Our customs are very strong.

For example, if a married woman
is found alone with a man,

by law her husband or his brother
or his father

has a right to put her to death.

That's not even civilized.

We find ourselves quite civilized,
Anjin-san.

You must remember
our culture is a thousand years old.

We are ancient people.

Our emperor is the 107th
of his unbroken line,

right back to the celestial spirits.

If you believe that, how can you
also say you're a Catholic?

I am only a ten-year Christian,

and though I believe
in the Christian God with all my soul,

our emperor is without question.

Yes, I am a Christian,

but first I am Japanese.

[YABU SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[YELLING]

BLACKTHORNE:
Get down!

[MAN SHOUTS IN JAPANESE]

Stay down!

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[MEN GRUNTING]

Lord Toranaga
wishes us to go with him.

My husband
will take a separate route.

- If we separate--
- Do not argue, please.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[SHOUTS IN JAPAN ESE]

BLACKTHORNE:
Who were they? Who attacked us?

Lord lshido's men?

Bandits or...

I do not know.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

BLACKTHORNE: Who are they?
MARIKO: Lord Toranaga's samurai.

NARRATOR: In Osaka Castle
at the appointed hour,

General Hiromatsu
followed Lord Toranaga's instructions.

He requested an immediate
interview with Lord ishido.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

"What could be so urgent?"

demanded the master
of Osaka Castle.

Lord Toranaga's letter

was his resignation
from the Council of Regents.

BLACKTHORNE:
How can we reach the galley?

MARIKO:
Lord Toranaga will find a way.

BLACKTHORNE:
The odds are not exactly in our favor.

MARIKO: He has asked me
to explain to you what he has done.

My master has resigned
from the Council of Regents.

Now there are only four of them,

and five are needed
to make any decision.

- Ishido will appoint another one.
- No, he cannot.

The four will have to agree,
and they will argue.

- Sooner or later they'll decide.
- By then my master will be safe.

Marko .

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Lord Toranaga says
you and I will go to the galley

and tell them
we have been attacked by bandits.

- Will they believe you?
- Whatever they do,

we are to go on to the galley at once.

Then I'll want a knife.
Better give me two.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[MAN SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

You go over there! Hurry!

[BLACKTHORNE
SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

- Konbanwa, Anjin-san.
- Konbanwa, Captain-San.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

The captain says you saved his ship
during the storm on your trip here.

Ask him if the ship is ready to sail
as soon as the others arrive.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

He says the ship is ready to leave
on your command.

[ALL SHOUTING]

The castle alarm.

Lord lshido knows.

Look at him.

As if he had all the time in the world.

L...

I thank you for my life, Anjin-san.

[MAN SHOUTS IN JAPANESE]

[MAN SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

Anjin-san!

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Hai, Captain-sen. Cast off.

[DRUM BEATING
AND PEOPLE CHANTING]

Any closer
and I will blow her out of the water.

- No.
- We risk nothing and gain everything.

We pretend we didn't know
Toranaga was aboard.

We thought the bandits, led
by the heretic, were going to attack us.

The galley is flying Toranaga's flag.

False colors.
That's the oldest trick in the world.

With Toranaga dead, that would
make things simple for us. Hmm?

We will not interfere in their politics.

MAN:
But you interfere all the time.

The Society of Jesus
is famous for interfering.

Don't talk to me
as if I'm some thick-headed peasant.

While I'm aboard,
you will not sink that ship.

Then kindly go ashore.

BLACKTHORNE:
They could blow us to hell.

MARIKO:
No Portuguese ship would fire on us.

Marko .

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[TORANAGA
SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

My master asks what you would do
to break through.

Cannon would be best, but there aren't
any and this ship couldn't hold them.

You could put 20 men with muskets
on the bow and simply blast through.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Santiago! Sight for the quarterdeck!

Aye, sir, she's an easy target.

It's a waste to kill a pilot like that.
We should use him.

Ready, sir.

I say thou shalt not kill.

But we kill all the time, Father.

While I am here,
there will be no killing.

BLACKTHORNE:
Ahoy, frigate!

Ahoy, inglés!

BLACKTHORNE: That you, Rodrigues?
RODRIGUES: Aye!

Permission to come aboard?

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

RODRIGUES:
Who, inglés?

BLACKTHORNE: Lord Toranaga,
his interpreter and guards.

I don't want samurai aboard.

Lord Toranaga must bring some.
It's a matter of face. Settle on five.

Five. But tell the heretic
he must come as well.

- Why?
- For my amusement, Eminence.

For my amusement.

Tell him.

Five guards only, inglés.

But you come too.

BLACKTHORNE:
Why me?

Tell him something, pilot.

Convince him. Hmm?

There's grog on the table, inglés.

There's a fine roast capon
with greens and gravy.

There's new golden bread
and a side of beef.

There's fresh oranges from Goa,

and there's even a gallon
of Madeira wine to wash it all down.

Damn you to hell, Rodrigues!

[CHUCKLES]

He's coming.

Permission to come aboard!

Well, look who's gone Jappo.

- You didn't say there were priests.
- You didn't ask, inglés.

- Where's the food?
- In my cabin.

Come on, I'll show you.

- I'll give you some decent clothes.
- The food first, Spaniard.

A Spaniard would let you starve,
Jappo.

In there.

Listen, you whore-gutted,
pox-marked motherless scum.

I need a favor.

[MOANS]

[RODRIGUES LAUGHING]

- Slowly, inglés. Slowly.
- Ha, ha!

Which do you prefer, brandy or grog?

Both.

Mm, mm, mm.

Lord Toranaga says
Lord lshido is trying to kill him.

So are many other lords.

They have done so in the past
and they will do so in the future.

He says if he is killed,
it will simplify things for the moment.

He is in lshido's trap now.

If the trap is successful,
it will produce a temporary advantage.

If Lord Toranaga escapes,
then there never was a trap.

Enough, enough, enough.
Ask him what he wants.

Lord Toranaga said
he was considering asking you

to build a large temple,
a cathedral in Yedo,

as a measure of his confidence
in our interests.

I thank you, Lord Toranaga.

I have yearned for many years
to hear that news.

We will always endeavor
to assist you.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

He says since there are pirates
at the mouth of the harbor--

Pirates? Hell.

He requires 2O muskets
and enough shot to deal with it.

You're always selling arms.
This should be no problem.

Not for you. You've made your deal.
What's he offering me?

Please, captain, you must help us.
Please.

I beg you on behalf of the Church.

Since you ask help in the Church's
name, of course I will do what you ask.

But in return,
I want the captain-generalship

of next year's Black Ship,

whether this year
is successful or not.

You dare ransom me
and the Church?

This is merely a business arrangement
between you, me and this monkey.

He is no monkey. Remember that.

PRIEST: What next?
Surely there's something else.

I want the heretic.

I want the Englishman.

Hmm?

[SCOFFS]

Lord Toranaga says
that you can have the Englishman.

[GROANS]

[B LAC KTHORN E RETCH ES]

Madonna, what a pig.

Get him up onto the quarterdeck.

Get someone to clean this cabin up.

Come on, you drunken piece
of English filth.

Wake up!

- Listen, inglés.
- Leave me alone.

I owed you a life.
Now that's settled.

Throw him overboard.

[SCREAMS]

And stay the hell off my ship!

What have you done?

The inglés offended me,
so I threw him overboard.

- I want this man aboard.
- You'll have to swim after him.

Damn your soul, Rodrigues.
You know what you've cost me?

I'm sorry, captain.
How was I to know you wanted him?

Put the priests ashore.

We are sailing for Macao.

Yes, captain. Whatever you say.

RODRIGUES:
Thy mouth in the devil's ear, inglés!

Thy mother was there first,
Rodrigues!

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

NARRATOR". "Samurai of Izu,
vassals of my friend Kasigi Yabu...

I am honored to be here.

I am honored to see
part of the strength of lzu,

the forces of my great ally.

Today, dark clouds
are gathering over the empire

to threaten the Taikds peace.

Let every samurai be prepared.

Let every weapon be sharp.

Together we will defend our country.

Together we will prevail."

[ALL YELL]

[YELLING]

[ALL YELL]

Toranaga-sama!

NARRATOR:
The sound of his personal samurai

celebrating Lord Toranaga's name

caused Kasigi Yabu's pride
to vanish with his honor.

But Toranaga understood
Yabu's potential for treachery.

Yabu's troops had responded
as Toranaga knew they would.

Now that he had diminished Yabu,
he would raise him up again.

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

"I have carried this sword
for 15 years.

We've gone through
many battles together,

and it has never failed me,

as 8 know you, Kasigi Yabu,
wit! never fail me."

This is Lord Toranaga's gift for you.

Domo, Toranaga-sama.

[TORANAGA
SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Aren't we going with him?

- No.
- Then how do we get to Yedo?

Lord Toranaga said we were going
to Yedo. My ship is there.

- We are to stay here.
- Why here?

You expressed an interest
in learning our language.

That is what my master
wishes you to do.

But why here? Why not in Yedo?

I'm sorry, Anjin-san,
but I do not know.

I can only tell you
that Lord Toranaga is very wise.

Whatever his reason,
it must be very good.

Aren't you going to open
your present?

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[YABU SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

Lord Yabu says
that you are welcome in this village.

This paper is under
Lord Toranaga's seal, Anjin-san.

You are to keep it.

He has given you a great honor.

Lord Toranaga
has made you hatamoto.

This is the position of special retainer
on his personal staff.

[YABU SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

MARIKO: That house
is to be provided for you.

Lord Yabu says that you will please
learn our language

as quickly as possible.

And tonight you will go to his house.

Wakarimasu ka, Anfln-san'?

[YABU SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Hai, Yabu-sama.

[MURAJI & VILLAGERS
SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

What did he say?

He...

Lord Yabu told them that you are
his honored guest here.

He said that you are also
Lord Toranaga's very honored retainer.

That you are here
to learn our language.

This whole village has the honor
and responsibility of teaching you.

What else?

The village is responsible,
Anjin-san.

If you have not learned
to speak our language

well enough within six months,

the village will be burned.

But before that,

every man, woman and child
will be crucified.

- Crucified?
- Those are Lord Yabu's orders.

And there is nothing
anyone can do to stop him.

There must be some way.

In Japan, Anjin-san,
there are only Japanese ways.

MAN:
Konbanwa, Anjin-san.

[BLACKTHORNE
SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Good evening.
Did you enjoy your walk?

I walked through the village.

Looked at their faces.

I know that Lord Yabu's orders
distressed you,

but you must learn
to be patient with us.

Patient?

Please sit down.
You must be tired.

Thank you.

Would you like some sake?
Or a bath, maybe.

- The water is hot.
- Some sake, please.

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

BLACKTHORNE:
Thank you.

[BLACKTHORNE
SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

I'm honored to tell you

that Usaki Fujiko
is given to you as consort.

What?

Lord Toranaga asked her
if she would be your consort,

and she said she would be honored
and she has agreed.

- But I haven't agreed.
- But, Anjin-san, you cannot refuse.

The Lady Fujiko would be considered
a great honor.

She is recently widowed.

She is only 19,

but she has lost her husband
and her son and is filled with remorse.

BLACKTHORNE: What happened
to her husband and son?

They were put to death.

Her husband foolishly put
Lord Toranaga's life in danger.

Lord Toranaga
had an infant put to death

for something the father did?

Yes. Our customs
are different from yours.

You see, by law,
we belong to our liege lord.

By law, a father possesses the lives
of his wife, children and consorts.

Your husband
could put you to death?

Yes, that is his right.

If you accept the Lady Fujiko,

she will look after your house
and servants.

Or, if you prefer, simply ignore her.

Think of her as nothing,
but allow her to stay.

Accept her and then,
if she offends you,

you will have the right to kill her.

That's the only answer you have,
isn't it? Kill?

No, Anjin-san.

But life and death are the same.

Who knows?

Maybe you will do Fujiko-san
a greater service by taking her life.

So I'm trapped again.

If I don't accept her, she will die.

If I don't learn your language,
a whole village will be butchered.

If I don't do whatever you want,

some innocent will always be killed.

There's no way out, is there?

Anjin-san...

...forget the village.

A million things can happen
before those six months are up.

You must leave karma to karma.

Today you are here, and nothing
you can do will change that.

Tomorrow does not exist.

There is only now.

There is only this moment.

Nothing else.

Nothing.

[OMI SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Omi-san has been ordered
to escort you to Lord Yabu's house.

I'm sorry, Anjin-san,

but Omi-san orders you
to give him your pistol.

Tell him this weapon is a gift
from Lord Toranaga.

He already knows that, Anjin-san.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Please, Anjin-san.
This is very dangerous.

You must see Lord Yabu,
and you may not take your pistol.

Tell him I'll blow his head off
if he comes any nearer.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

You can leave the pistol here
or give it to Fujiko-san.

What could she do?
He'll just take it from her.

Listen to me.

Fujiko-san is your consort.

If you order it,
she will protect the pistol with her life.

I'm sorry, Anjin-san,
but you must do something.

I want you to say this
to Fujiko-san exactly.

"I'm going to give you my pistol.

You are to guard it.
No one but me is to touch it."

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Shall we go?

- What did he say?
- He will report this to Lord Yabu.

Anjin-sama...

Your consort rightly points out that

a hatamoto has to wear
the two swords of a samurai.

She asked if you would consider
using these.

[OMI SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[YABU SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[MARIKO
SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

What did he say?

Lord Yabu received a message
from Osaka

saying Ito Teruzumi has been chosen
for the Council of Regents.

He has already taken his place
and Lord lshido is the new president.

Lord Yabu says they are going
to impeach Lord Toranaga in 2O days.

Lord Toranaga was wrong.
They did agree on someone.

I have told you, Anjin-san,
Lord Toranaga is very wise.

He is seldom wrong.

But if this time he is wrong,
what will happen?

Tomorrow does not exist.

Twenty tomorrows is a long time.

[YABU SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

Lord Yabu asks if you have ever
been part of any battles on land.

Yes, in Holland and once in France.

As a favor, he would like to know
European strategy.

He would like to know
how battles are fought in your country.

I would be happy
to grant Lord Yabu's favor.

Even more.

If he wishes,
I will train his men to fight.

To fight so that they are unbeatable.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[BLACKTHORNE
SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

But in return
I would also ask a favor.

I would ask Lord Yabu
as a humble favor

to rescind his decree
about the village.

Lord Yabu says
the village is unimportant.

The villagers are nothing
for you to be concerned about.

Please apologize to Lord Yabu,

but I must ask him
to rescind the decree tonight.

He just said no, Anjin-san.
It would not be polite.

Yes, I understand.

But please ask him again.
It is very important to me.

Please, Mariko-san.

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

He says the village means nothing,
but his decree cannot be changed.

Thank you.

Yes, I understand.

Please thank Yabu-san, but tell him
that I cannot live with this shame.

What?

I cannot live with the shame

of having the village
on my conscience.

I am dishonored.

This is more than I can bear.
It is against my Christian beliefs.

I will have to commit suicide at once.

Suicide?

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Lord Yabu says that suicide
is not a foreign custom.

It is against the Christian God.

How can you kill yourself?

I am very sorry,

but custom or not, God or not,

the shame of the village
is greater than I can bear.

I am in Japan. I am hatamoto.

I have a right
to live according to your laws.

Lord Yabu asks
how you would commit suicide.

Anjin-san...

Lord Yabu says
the decree will not be changed.

I'm...

I am very sorry.

[MAN SHOUTS]

[GRUNTING]

[RAIN FALLING]

MARIKO:
Anjin-san...

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Lord Yabu says that whatever
you learn will be enough.

The village will not be burned.

Do you hear me, Anjin-san?

The rain is fine, isn't it?

You should rest now, Anjin-san.

Yes.

I would like to go home.

Sorry to be so slow.

MARIKO:
You must not be sorry, Anjin-san.

Tonight you are reborn.

This is another life.

A new life.

[BOTH SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

I slept very well.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

How do you say it?

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

MARIKO: --and your language,
all European languages,

are much more difficult
than Japanese.

Japanese is really very simple.

Look how much
you have learned already.

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[BLACKTHORN E SPEAKS
IN JAPAN ESE]

Most Japanese verbs
end in "masu."

To make it a question,
you just add "ka."

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

"Do you understand?"

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

"I understand."

To make it negative,
you just change "masu" to "masen. "

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

“L do not understand."

“To eat“ 'vs tabemasu.

Ask me if I have eaten.

[BOTH SPEAK IN JAPANESE]

Or if I have not eaten,
what do I say?

[BLACKTHORN E SPEAKS
IN JAPAN ESE]

Ikimasu, “to go.“

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

- Are they all that way?
- Almost.

Write them down.

Yomimasu, "to read."

Kimasu, “to come.“

Kirimasu, "to cut."

Narimasu, “to become.“

How do you say "there is"?

Arimasu, "there is" or "there are."

They are both the same.

Ikimasu means "I go,"

but also you, he, she,
they and we go.

It is very simple.

[BLACKTHORNE CHUCKLES]

But how do you tell the difference
between "I go" and "they go"?

By inflection, Anjin-san.
And by tone.

Listen.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[CHUCKLING]
Sounds exactly the same.

That is because you are still thinking
in your own language.

To understand Japanese,
you have to think Japanese.

Our language
is the language of the infinite.

It is all so simple, Anjin-san.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

[MARI KO LAUGHS]

- I've never seen you do that before.
- What?

Laugh. Really laugh,
as though you were happy.

Right now, I am happy.

Tomorrow does not exist.

Only now.
Only this moment, Anjin-san.

I wish this moment
could last forever.

- I wish...
- What do you wish?

I wish you were to be my consort.

I belong to Lord Buntaro,

and until he is dead,

I cannot think or say
what might be thought or said.

Please, Anjin-san,

do not say any more.

MARI KO: Watakushi
wa is II I II 5

and anata wa is "you."

To make it possessive,
you change "wa" to "no."

[BOTH SPEAK IN JAPANESE]

Possessive?

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Very good.

Kore wa means "this is."

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Kore wa nan desu ka
means "What is this?"

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

“Paper" is kami.

[BOTH SPEAK IN JAPANESE]

Where in God's name
did she find that?

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Fujiko-san says one of the servants
caught this pheasant.

She understands that you eat meat,
so she sent them to hunt for you.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Now I want to hang that pheasant.
I'll need some rope.

[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

What are you going to do?

I'm going to hang the pheasant there.

But... But it will go rotten.
It should be prepared at once.

Pheasant meat is dry,
so you hang it for a few days.

- It matures the meat.
- Anjin-san...

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Some people think you should hang
a pheasant by the tail feathers

until it drops off,

but that's an old wives' tale.

The neck's the place.
The juices stay where they belong.

Some people let it hang
till it falls off the neck,

but I don't like my meat
quite that gamey.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

There.

No one is to touch it but me.
Mariko, explain.

No one but me.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Now that is going to be a royal feast.

[GUNSHOTS]

[BLACKTHORN E SPEAKS

Please do not let me disturb you.

No, I was just, uh...

Uh, I'm almost finished.

- I can come back later if you wish.
- No, no, no, I, uh...

You're not disturbing me.

Did your training go well,
Anjin-san?

Yes, very well.

Lord Yabu's men
are learning very quickly.

Is this usual?

I mean, uh, for you to be, uh...
To be...

- To be sharing your bath?
- Mm.

[CHUCKLES]

In Japan, Anjin-san,
we have no shame of our bodies.

Everything is natural and normal.

And because there are so many of us,
that is also necessary.

The one thing we do not have
is privacy.

So we must learn to create our own.

We are taught from childhood
to disappear within ourselves,

to grow impenetrable walls
behind which we live.

What walls?

Oh, we have an endless maze
to hide in, Anjin-san.

Rituals and customs.

Even our language has nuances,

which allow us to avoid any question
we do not want to answer.

- May I share your bath?
- Uh...

Yes. Dozo, please.

I will tell you a secret.

Do not be fooled
by our bows and smiles,

our gentleness and attentions.

Beneath them all we can be
far away, safe and alone.

That is what we seek. Oblivion.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Someday you will understand.

I'm sure someday
you will understand.

Marks'?

[BOTH SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

BLACKTHORNE [IN ENGLISH]:
In fact, I slept marvelously well.

Someday perhaps you will.

[MARIKO CHUCKLES
THEN SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

At this moment,
nothing in the whole world.

Then shall we begin our lesson?

Thou art beautiful and I love thee.

Love is a Christian word.

Thou art beautiful and Christian
and I love thee.

I will take that as a compliment.

Take it as I meant it.

You seem very happy today.

You know why.

I know nothing, Anjin-san.

Nothing?

Why have you lost your smile?

Because I don't understand.

There is nothing to understand.

What passed in the night, then?

I passed your door in the night

when my maid was with you.

What?

Fujiko-san and I,

we thought she would be
a pleasing gift for you.

And she pleased you, did she not?

- It was no maid.
- It was.

We anointed her with my perfume

and instructed her not to speak,
only to touch.

A joke concerning things
of great importance

is sometimes without humor.

Things of great import

will always be treated
with great import.

But a maid in the night with a man
is without import.

It is only a gift from her to him

and sometimes from him to her.

Nothing more.

Never?

Only when the woman and the man
join together against the law.

If a woman who belonged to a man,

as I belong to Lord Buntaro...

If she joined with another man,

that would be a serious crime.

A crime punishable by death.

Forgive me.

I am a fool.

How do I tell this maid
that I love her?

[MARIKO CHUCKLES]

That would not be seemly.

It is our custom to make life simple.

We admire simplicity,

so men and women
can take pillowing for what it is.

Then nothing is to be said
between us?

Nothing. That is wise.

And if I don't agree?

You must.

You are here.

This is your home.

[BOTH SPEAK IN JAPANESE]

This interests you, does it?

Pistol.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

Go on, hold it. Go on.

Oh.

Ah-ah-ah-ah!

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

NARRATOR".
Lord Buntaro rode at Toranagefs side,

a position of great honor,

as they entered Anjiro.

That Toranaga had ordered his wife
to become Blackthornés teacher

did not please Lord Buntaro.

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

To think beyond that could only
produce an unspeakable fury.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

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

For Lord Buntaro, the loathsome sight
of the hanging pheasant

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

Please bow, Anjin-san.

Please.

[BUNTARO SPEAKING
IN JAPANESE]

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

that 100 men with muskets
could defeat his 500.

My husband said
that his bow and arrow

can kill at a much greater range,

with greater accuracy
and faster than the musket.

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

You will lose, Anjin-san.

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

Tell him, uh...

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

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Tell Buntaro-sama, in my country

a host always toasts
his honored guest.

Long life and happiness.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Health.

Health and wealth.

Health, wealth, and a steady hand.

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

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

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

The right post.

[BU NTARO S PEAKS

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

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

Please, Anjin-san.

Marko-san,

please tell my consort I would like
the arrows left in the post forever.

All of them.

To remind me of a master archer.

[MARIKO SPEAKING

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[BU NTARO SHOUTS

I am sorry, Anjin-san...

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

To tell you about myself,
about my family.

He commands me.

My maiden name is Akechi.

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

My father assassinated
the dictator Lord Goroda.

My father committed
the worst crime there is.

My blood is tainted.

But how...?

I've heard...

How were you left alive?

My husband honored me.

He honored me
by sending me away.

I begged to be allowed
to commit seppuku,

to kill myself.

But he has denied me that privilege.

I have told you that I belong to him.

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

he sent me away
to Shonai Province in the north.

It was very cold there.

[SHOUTING IN JAPANESE]

My husband says

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

Long explanations are unnecessary.

He orders me to leave now.

Sake.

What the hell is going on?

[WOMAN WHIMPERS

Go away, Anjin-san.

Please go away!

- How bad are you?
- Please go away.

Your presence here
takes away my face

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

I want to help you.

You have no right in this.

This is between husband and wife.

That's no excuse to beat you.

Listen to me, Anjin-san.

He can beat me to death
if he wishes.

He has the right.

Tonight is my fault.

If I would weep as he wants,

beg forgiveness as he wants,

spread myself in pretended fear
as he wants...

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

But I will not.

Why?

Because that is my revenge,

to repay him for leaving me alive
after the treachery.

From that moment...

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

And I never will.

I detested him from
the first moment I saw him.

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

I'm not afraid of him.

But you should be.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Get up, you bastard.

I said get up.

NARRATOR: It was inconceivable
that Lord Buntards honor

could allow him to apologize.

[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]

But B/ackthorne realized

that was exactly
what Marikds husband was doing,

bowing lo w, abjectly.

Lord Buntaro had disturbed
the harmony of Blackthornds house.

An apology was required,

Face had to be saved

It is not your fault.

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

I wish I could explain that to you now.

It is not you.

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

[BLACKTHORN E SPEAKS

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

My master says
that he is pleased to see you,

but that you are looking troubled.

He wishes to know why.

The old man, the old gardener.

I am responsible for his death.

It was all officially dealt with.

There is no need to be troubled.

- You knew?
- Yes.

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

Why not come to me?
That pheasant was meaningless.

You are head of the house,
you had given an order.

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

There was only one solution.

One of the servants
had to take it away.

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

He was very happy to die honorably.

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

He asks me to tell you
the news from Osaka.

What news?

Lord Sugiyama has resigned

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

Lord lshido was very angry.

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

By lshido?

- Can he do that?
- It was done.

The deaths were very bad.

The Council of Regents
may never meet again.

What will happen?

War. Along war
which will destroy the empire.

- Unless...
- What?

Unless Lord Toranaga petitions
the emperor to make him Shogun.

- Do you understand what that means?

Shogun. Shogun is the military ruler

how long will it take
for your ship to be ready for war?

On whom do I war, Mariko-san?

On whom do you wish to war?

On the Black Ship.
On this year's Black Ship.

What?

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

we can split the cargo,
all silks and bullion.

My master says that will be making
war against a friendly nation.

It could not be forgiven.

The Portuguese
are essential to Japan.

The Portuguese are less his friends
than he may think.

Portugal's finances
depend upon the Black Ship.

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

[TORANAGA
SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

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

He will not attack the Black Ship.

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

But you have no ship, Anjin-san.

Whose ship am I outfitting for war?

Preparing a ship for war

is not the same
as having it returned to you.

He reminds me that my opinions
have no value

and that interpreters
should only interpret.

[TORANAGA

My master says that the Black Ship
will arrive soon,

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

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

Lord Toranaga says,
“Today I was almost killed.

Today the Anjin-san pulled me
out of the ground.

That is the second,

maybe even the third time
that he has saved my life.

Although it is bushido

that samurai should never expect
a reward for any service,

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

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

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

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

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

The obedience of a samurai
is without question.

- Yes. Kiku-san.

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

And it will be interesting for me.

Why?

I have never met
a lady from the Willow World.

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

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

You must agree to go, Anjin-san.

You know I can't refuse you anything.

Good.

It is all very official,

and, for tonight,
you must be very Japanese.

What do I have to do?

You must forget what you have to do

Tonight there are no cares.

Tonight there is only magic for you.

Thou art magic for me.

When a lady who belongs to someone

I saw her in the street.

That seems very far away.

It is, Anjin-san.

Tonight everything is far away.

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

What is your preference?

This lady is here for your pleasure,

And you? Are you also here

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

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

He wishes you to write down
everything about your family.

Why?

A samurai has to have
his birth and death recorded.

How else can a liege lord
keep everything balanced?

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

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

Yes, it is beautiful.

What happens

I do not know, Anjin-san, but Lord

Lord Saigawa Zataki,
Lord of Shinano.

Lord Zataki has been appointed
to the Council of Regents.

Now there are five again.

But you said...

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

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

He has allied himself
with Lord lshido.

Ishido?

Then what will happen?

We will wait and see.

Lord Toranaga is very wise.

His karma is great.

Thy beauty is greater.

Heh. And thy patience is small.

Whatever message Zataki carried,

You'll get no answers from me,

Mine are open. Yours are fogged.

to Osaka by the Council of Regents.

When?

Now, pilot.

Now.

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

he has an official order
from the Council of Regents

instructing Lord Toranaga
to commit suicide.

Lord Toranaga would have to obey.

Father Alvito.

I did not know
that you were in Yokose.

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

BLACKTHORNE:
He's leaving.

Lord Toranaga said that
he would give his answer tomorrow.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

I hope to see you again.

Please do not look at me like that.

I cannot help it.

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

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

What are you going to do?

I shall try,

try with all my heart to obey.

NARRATOR: Having been
commanded by Toranaga

to make peace with his wife,

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

the tea ceremony.

The first required perfection
was absolute cleanliness.

The second, complete simplicity.

NARRATOR:
In her heart,

Mariko felt unworthy
of such a beautiful ceremony.

But there was more.

Lord Buntaro asked:

"Can we be together once more
as husband and wife?"

Lord Buntaro knew the reason

for his wife's refusal
to live in harmony with him.

Anjin.
