[Toranaga, in Japanese]
Previously on Shogun.

[in English] We've reached
it. Portugal's secret empire.

- The orders are still on.
- What part of this is still on?

- I must know if my crew is alive.
- Please!

[Omi] One has been executed.

The rest are prisoners
of Lord Yabushige.

The Lady Ochiba's sister, my
daughter-in-law, is in labor.

Or has Lady Ochiba
been taken hostage

to guarantee your safety here?

Mother!

You are choosing the wrong ally.

We'll always be
their hostages now.

I already received
another offer.

Regent...?

Your formal answer, please.

I bow before you.

I will submit to Lord Ishido.

- [in English] He has surrendered.
- Behold, the great warlord,

who tricked his own loyal vassals
into a noiseless smothering.

[in Japanese] You're all dead.

[Nagakado shouts]

[Nobutatsu grunts, groans]

[Nagakado shouts, grunts]

[villagers whispering]

[coughing]

[coughing continues]

Cracking his head on stone.

Wasn't a death I'd thought of.

Be sure to record
it in our book.

I'd rank it lower than boiling,

but higher than eaten by dogs.

[in English] Saeki-sama's army
will camp at Edo's boundary

where they will wait for
Toranaga-sama to mourn his son.

For how long?

The customary 49 days.

And after that?

They will deliver us to Osaka.

[sighs]

[breathes heavily]

[coughs]

[horse approaches]

[in Japanese] Lord...

I am sorry for your loss.

[sighs]

[coughing]

[in English] My lord instructed me to
give these to you upon entry to the city.

For the completion
of your service.

When we submit to the Council,
you're not required to join us

since you no longer choose
to stand with us anyway.

Fuji-sama will manage the
land until your return.

Though I cannot say how my lord's
successors may deal with you.

[Blackthorne] Fine
strategy he has.

At least Nagakado-sama
died fighting.

Your men are here in this city.

The crew from your ship.

You must be eager
to be reunited.

And my translator,
what becomes of her?

Mariko-sama, don't go to Osaka.

My allegiance forbids me
from doing anything else.

[horse nickers]

[panting]

[samurai shouts in Japanese]

[Ishido] He's surrendered.

Your ruse was a
brilliant success.

A great Minowara, meeting his end
at a humble fishing village...

Who would have thought.

He still has his
mourning period.

Until his head is pressed
to the floor in submission,

we are not free of his threat.

Perhaps, to strengthen
our alliance,

we should make our
intentions public.

Our pact is not in doubt.

In the days when I stood
in the Taikō's service,

I was captivated by you.

His favored consort.

Peerless in strength,
grace, and courage.

If you saw those things, it was
merely a reflection of our lord.

[chuckles]

I revered our lord,

but let us stop
pretending he was kind.

We didn't just survive our
time, we made our place here.

I propose we strengthen
our bond through marriage.

What would you say?

[breathes heavily]

The offer is yours to consider.

[Buntaro] What's there to be
said about Lord Nagakado...

He was eager to please.

[chuckling]

Full of long stories
that went nowhere.

[chuckles]

Once, he fell from a
tree and broke his arm.

Didn't tell anyone for days.

So they would
think he was brave.

[chuckles]

He was truly courageous.

At the same time,

he was reckless.

What an embarrassment.

[chuckles]

If I may...

It's hard to believe Lord Nagakado
isn't here with us tonight.

He would have enjoyed us

honoring him.

But he's not.

Because our lord has
chosen to surrender

to slice his belly before
that snake, Ishido.

This is something Lord
Nagakado could not accept.

Reckless as he may have been,

his life

was given to one thing

the name of his lord.

Lord Toranaga.

[chanting]

Absent from his own
son's funeral...

I'm told Lord Toranaga has fallen
very sick from his journey.

[Yabushige] So you
haven't seen him either?

My nephew's speech last night

he's just a boy, but he's
right about many things.

Look how his Edo generals
wear their armor in protest.

There are those who
haven't yet given up.

Why not march to Osaka
with guns and cannon?

You alone will head to Osaka.

As a condition of our surrender,

Ishido requested you return
the guns and cannons to Osaka.

- [exhales sharply]
- [chanting continues]

[bell peals]

[priest chanting]

- [bell peals]
- [fire roars]

[priests continue chanting]

Her grandfather
must be very proud.

Yes, I hope he will be.

His new granddaughter...

Lord Toranaga hasn't
come to see her yet?

I've heard he's been in bad
health since his return.

[baby crying]

Have you heard from
your sister in Osaka?

Only by formal letter.

Assuring me that after Lord
Toranaga bows to Lord Ishido

my family will be spared.

Beyond that, nothing.

You know how Lady Ochiba can be.

Each of us endures
in her own way.

Staying hidden is hers.

Lord Buntaro.

Welcome back to Edo.

It's good to be home, Lady Rin.

Lord Toranaga sent word for
you to join him this afternoon.

I understand.

[gasps]

I will leave you.

Please stay.

I do not wish to interrupt.

These are hard times,
this business with Osaka.

I'd like to prepare tea for
my wife. What do you think?

I accept.

[servant] But we gave
you firewood yesterday.

Understand, but I
don't need firewood.

Looking for, um...

My friend is asking
for more firewood.

Please forgive this
barbarian's lack of manners.

[in English] Thank you for your
kind attempt at translation, Father.

Alas, you are wrong.

[in Japanese] I ask for charcoal.
It gives off better heat.

[in English] I must
say I am impressed.

You have made your
own way out here.

Thank you, Father. Ah!

[in Japanese] Lotus
tonight. Please.

[in English] Except I
seem to find Catholics

in every sordid corner
of this country.

Like the cacka-rooch.

It was not you I
came to Edo for.

I have urgent business
with Toranaga-sama.

Strange that you
are living out here.

Typically a hatamoto is given residence
within the confines of his lord's castle.

What are your plans now
he has cut you loose?

Well, to start, I will
reunite with my crew.

Get back aboard my vessel.

Then pay a visit to that Black
Ship I've heard so much about.

Tell me, will you wear those
clothes when you see your men?

Ah, yes.

[chuckles]

Yes, I intend to.

Thank you, Father.

[Martin] Lady Maria.

I am so glad to
see you are safe.

I only wish it were
a happier time.

How is your lord?

I've not seen him since
we returned to the city.

[sighs]

- [samurai speaks Japanese]
- [Toranaga coughing]

[groans]

[coughing continues]

[grunting]

[sighs]

[Martin speaks Japanese]

You've heard that Lord Ishido
has bent the Council to his will.

Of course we know this.

Our deal, which we made
on the Black Ship...

Our church made its best effort,

but Lords Kiyama and Ohno

would not be swayed
to your cause.

[exhales sharply]

Things my spies have
already reported...

Have you really come all
this way to tell me that?

Mariko.

From now on, you will
translate for this priest,

as the Church is not our ally

and cannot be trusted
to speak in our tongue.

Lord, if I may...

[in English] The Church did not
send me on this mission, Lord.

I have come on my own.

[in Japanese] Tsuji says he is not
here on the orders of the Church...

[in English] I know these are dire
times, and many in Edo have lost hope.

- [Mariko translating]
- But not me.

Ochiba no kata has manipulated
Ishido out of hatred for you

and I see no cause
for her anger.

[in Japanese] Though Ochiba
has no reason to be your enemy,

she controls Ishido.

I cannot change
her hatred of me.

[in English] Unlike
Ishido, you love the Heir.

If you form an alliance
with his mother,

the Heir would be free
to turn against Ishido.

[in Japanese] He believes you can
forge an alliance with Ochiba.

And your thoughts?

You wish to hear my thoughts?

I do.

Tsuji has a point.

Why?

Osaka is not our enemy.

Ishido is.

If we align with Lady Ochiba,

Ishido's only path to
power will be removed,

as the Heir's army
will become our ally.

You once knew her.

Do you believe, in
a thousand years,

Ochiba would ever ally with me?

I don't think you are her enemy.

I think fear is her enemy.

[sighs]

She would sooner have my
head buried in the earth.

What?

Speak.

Your face... has
the color of defeat.

Lord, it's not like you.

[Toranaga scoffs]

I...

This victory would come
at too high a cost,

so I choose a peaceful defeat.

Then you are giving up on those

who would never give up on you.

Quiet.

If I wanted your advice I
would have asked for it.

Call my vassals to
assembly tomorrow.

I've heard these rumors about
their defiance of my will.

Wearing armor to
my son's funeral.

Lord...

My son is dead.

I will have

no further bloodshed.

I want their signed pledge

that they will march
with me in surrender.

[groans]

[speaks Japanese]

[Toranaga grunts, coughs]

[breathes heavily]

Tell the priest I am grateful for
his attempt to change my fate.

Since he kept his promise,

I will keep mine.

He may build a new
church here in Edo.

The land has been set aside.

I only have one request.

That he return to Osaka and
tell them what he sees here.

All I want is a peaceful death.

[coughs]

He's going to fight.

How do you know?

Otherwise, our lord would
not send him to Osaka

with a message.

Beauty of Nature.

Winter is ending soon.

Yes.

The scent of plums

detaches from the
blossoms and leaves

off into the distance.

My mind is drawn
to the distant haze

where the wind carries
the detached scent.

Perhaps you would take cha?

It would be my honor.

Your performance was wonderful.

It was only for you.

[sighs]

Despite what my father says

I think we're going
to die in Osaka.

Perhaps that's what makes
this tea so meaningful.

I remember our
first days together.

We were happy.

I struggle to remember clearly.

Are you still under
the Anjin's spell?

[breathes heavily]

Let us go to death tonight.

[inhales deeply]

I wish to finally
give it to you.

In protest of our lord's
surrender, and your enemies,

let us welcome death together.

Let us enter oblivion
as husband and wife.

Even now you fail to understand.

What you've denied me

wasn't death.

It was a life beyond your reach.

And I would sooner
live a thousand years

than die with you like this.

[sliding door opens, closes]

[crying]

[villager speaking
Japanese, cackling]

[in Japanese] Your men
live in the fun a ya do.

They've been drinking all the
saké in the region for months.

We'll be glad for them to leave.

[sailors singing indistinctly]

[guide] All of them.

[sailors continue singing]

[sniffing]

[exhales deeply]

[in English] Stinks like
Billingsgate at low tide.

- [prostitute speaks Japanese]
- [chuckles, coughs]

[in English] Come on. What's
wrong? Come on. Beautiful.

You're my good doxy, you are.

[chuckling]

Come back.

- [prostitute scoffs]
- [sailor] Come back. You're beautiful!

[sighs]

[gasps]

Pilot?

John Blackthorne! Is that you?

Hello, Salamon.

How are you?

We'd given you up for dead.

How many of us left?

Six. Barely hanging on.

Right.

Well, I've been given clearance,

for us to return to Erasmus.

I have a few friends.
Good crew we could train.

I've been training some of
them on the cannon already.

To do what?

To help us

home.

Nah.

[sighs]

Whe... Where does the pilot
want to take us this time?

Maybe Africa? Or
back to the Americas?

Since you're here,
Pilot, tell me something.

When we left Santa Maria,

were there really Spanish ships
to the South, to the North of us?

Had to come here?

I just hate to think that we
spent these months wasting away

because our pilot had
ambitions of his own.

First Englishman through the
Strait ready to make his name.

We had orders.

We could have turned
home, and you know it!

Our orders ended when the Captain-General
sent a shot out the back of his head.

That you come to realize
that we are here.

What is left of us
is because of you.

I'll speak to the
rest of the men.

First, take off those skirts.

And we'll, um... We'll
careen her. We'll scrape her.

And the extra men we need,

- you leave that to me.
- I said take them off!

You son of a bitch!

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

[dogs barking]

[in Japanese] Let's go.

- [breathing heavily]
- [sailors shout indistinctly]

[in English] Here's
your goddamn, filthy...

[sighs]

[Salamon groans]

Tell him I understand we've had our
differences in the past, him and me.

But now is the time
when my choices are few.

[in Japanese] While he regrets that
he has no choice in the matter,

he's come to you
out of desperation.

What does he want?

[in English] I once offered to sail
for Toranaga-sama against his enemies.

Now he is determined to die.

Fine.

[in Japanese] Fate.

[in English] I now wish
to forge allegiances

benefiting this country
economically and strategically.

I still have my ship.

I can train a crew.

I just need a new
banner to sail under.

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

I don't wish it.
He is a shit face.

But he is a brave shit
face. And that is the truth.

So, I must ask.

[in Japanese] He believes
our lord will soon die,

and wishes to sail for you.

[chuckles]

I think he calculates, unwisely,

that you wish not to join
Lord Toranaga in Osaka.

This is disgraceful.

[scoffs]

My nephew is right.

I refuse.

[in English] Yabushige-sama
politely declines your request.

[in Japanese] The Anjin is wrong to
think Lord Toranaga has given up.

I don't know what
the old man is up to,

but it's not surrender.

[in English] Even Yabushige-sama
stands with Toranaga-sama.

- Only you waiver.
- Then let me explain again.

There is no explaining treachery,
especially against your sworn lord.

I am free of any obligations to
him. He has made that very clear.

If he were in my position,
he would do the same.

[grunts]

This weapon is not mine.

To tell you the truth, I feel
embarrassed wearing it most of the time.

Perhaps there existed
a... a moment in which

I had fooled myself into believing that
I could one day belong to this place,

but that moment is
leagues behind me.

[in Japanese] He says that he
knows he doesn't belong in Japan.

[Blackthorne] Having said that

[in Japanese] own people

seem

strange.

[in English] I don't know
where that leaves me,

but I do know that now I'm left to
whittle what fate I can for myself.

[in Japanese] He believes he has
no choice but to make his own fate.

[in English] Since I
first saw you near death

on that cliff many months ago,

I've known you were a man
who understood the importance

of taking fate
into his own hands.

[Mariko, in Japanese] He recalls the
time you were close to death on a cliff.

He believes you also
know what it means

to control your own fate.

[chuckles]

[scoffs]

Tell him that since he is a foreigner,
I will overlook his mistake.

I would never betray our lord.

We've been called to the castle
to sign our obeisance to him,

and that is what I intend to do.

[grunts]

[in English] He
refuses your offer.

Says it is betrayal of our lord.

You see, once loyalty begins,
it does not have an end.

Otherwise, it would
not be loyalty.

But loyal turns senseless very
quickly when the order is suicide.

Would you like me
to translate that?

Or was it for me?

[Gin, in Japanese]
The main gates. Here.

My tea house will be here...

We'll make a room for
Kiku in a separate house.

I see nothing here.

It's an idea she
chased all her life.

It must be beautiful
to finally see it.

It was your hard work
that earned this for her.

Serving my mistress

is my greatest pride.

Do you think loyalty could
ever be a disservice?

Or even a harm?

No.

I don't know what I'm
fighting for anymore.

[Kiku] If you look
and see nothing

you must simply look harder.

Lord Toranaga was very generous
to grant you this plot.

It's among the best in the city.

Who is that over there?

[guide] Your neighbors.

I'm told they are courtesans.

Courtesans...

[bell peals]

[servant] Good
morning, Lady Daiyoin.

I have tea and your
favorite sawara today

[grunting] [gasps]

[servant] Someone find a doctor!

[doctor] It was a stroke
early this morning.

All we can do is
make her comfortable.

[Daiyoin sighs]

I knew it would be this
face to send me off.

All of your strength.
And sadness.

You must stop these games.

Promise to release the hostages.

Ishido comes from nothing,
and he is nothing.

[gasps]

How about some medicine to
ease your pain, Lady Daiyoin?

Tell our son to look for
me in the Pure Land...

Look what I made...

[exhales deeply]

[breathing shakily]

[rain pattering]

[samurai shouts]

[attendant speaks Japanese]

[Toranaga coughing]

[grunts]

[coughing continues]

Tomorrow, Yabushige
will leave for Osaka.

In addition to delivering
my guns to Ishido,

he will submit the names of those
who will join me in surrender.

I now require your
signatures on this list.

[samurai] Lord

we are unable to accept
what must be a ploy.

There is no such trickery.

Forgive us, Lord

we cannot follow you
on this path to defeat.

You refuse your duty?

Our duty is to advise you.

If you stay in Edo, Ishido will
be forced to fight us here.

He will destroy this city.

Let him try.

Which is more important?

Survival of our clan, or Japan?

My fight is decided.

Lord

if you will not change your mind

then I will

commit seppuku at once.

[breathes heavily]

Do you all doubt your
allegiance to me?

Traitors should confess at once!

If you surrender to Osaka

it is treason against
your heritage...

Quiet!

This is between me
and Lord Toranaga.

My one and only friend.

Lord...

I have

stood by your side since you
were a piss-dripping boy.

Then die by my side in Osaka.

You are throwing away all
that we have fought for.

[sighs]

I have made my decision.

Now you must make yours.

So you do believe
in pointless death.

Lord!

Your vassal dies in vain!

[breathes heavily]

Then die.

[gasps]

Lord!

Please stop this...

He has set his mind against me.

I will not yield.

Lord Toranaga...

Then this is farewell.

Buntaro, bring my
sword and second me.

[inhales deeply]

[sighs]

I'm following you into death.

No.

Father

please...

You must live.

You will know what
it is to be denied.

Do not give up on our lord.

Even when it appears he
has given up on himself.

[breathes heavily]

[crying]

Now second me.

[Omi] Lord Toranaga!

This is madness!

Stop this!

[samurai murmurs]

Forgive me...

[grunting]

[shouting]

[breathing heavily]

[rain continues]

I beg your pardon.

[Toranaga] Do you disagree
with what happened today?

Today we all
suffered great loss.

I won't deepen the
wound by disagreeing.

The sound of rain on the leaves

can be heard.

Still more fragile

is the dew of
tears on my sleeves

even in springtime.

Waiting, the pine tree

never withers in winter.

If I could use words

like scattering flowers
and falling leaves,

what a bonfire my
poems would make.

[chuckles]

I concede victory, Mariko.

[coughs]

Your poetry was always superior.

Tell me

has the Anjin gone
to Yabushige yet?

Yes.

But Lord Yabushige refused.

[chuckles]

He'll change his
mind after today.

Hiromatsu made sure of it.

The Anjin and Yabushige
are both goshawks.

Short-winged and predictable.

Then...

Lord Hiromatsu...

[sniffs]

Hiromatsu

my old friend...

[shudders]

knew his duty well.

Osaka has to believe
my defeat is real.

Now are you ready
to do your part?

I'm ready.

[samurai shouting indistinctly]

[Yabushige] Hurry! Hurry!

Be quick.

What are you doing?

Hurry it up!

Yes... [breathes heavily]

If Lord Toranaga finds out
you've aligned with the Anjin...

I won't die on behalf
of a crazy old man.

But the Anjin is dangerous.

[grunts]

Uncle!

What do you want?

Take care.

[grunts]

[sailors shouting indistinctly]

[speaks Japanese]

What you said the other day

it meant a great deal to me.

[grunts]

[sighs]

Allies.

You,

and me.

Allies.

We're allies.

[Blackthorne chuckles,
speaks Japanese]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[samurai exclaims]

[in English] Someone's coming.

[in Japanese] Lord Toranaga has
requested I accompany you to Osaka.

[sighs]

[Toranaga coughing]

[breathes heavily]

[Toranaga] Thank you, my son.

You earned me some time.

I will not waste it...

Hiromatsu and you, both.

I will not waste it.
