11
00:02:42,170 --> 00:02:45,381
<i>More than 800 years ago,</i>

12
00:02:45,507 --> 00:02:49,301
<i>during the Heiji Era (1160),</i>

13
00:02:49,427 --> 00:02:54,640
<i>Lord Kiyomori, ruler of the Taira Clan,</i>
<i>accompanied by his retainers,</i>

14
00:02:54,766 --> 00:02:57,434
<i>travelled towards</i>
<i>the Temple of ltsukushima.</i>

15
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,399
<i>Taking advantage ofthis, Minamoto</i>
<i>Yoshitomo and Fujiwara Nobuyori</i>

16
00:03:03,525 --> 00:03:07,361
<i>attacked Sanjo Castle,</i>
<i>residence ofthe Emperor in Kyoto,</i>

17
00:03:07,487 --> 00:03:10,531
<i>in order to bring about</i>
<i>a coup d'e'tat.</i>

18
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:14,535
<i>This clash is known today</i>
<i>as the Heiji Rebellion.</i>

19
00:03:32,679 --> 00:03:36,557
The south flank has fallen!
We are defeated!

20
00:03:55,952 --> 00:03:59,246
Yoshitomo and Nobuyori
have organised the attack.

21
00:03:59,372 --> 00:04:02,749
They have taken advantage
of Kiyomori's absence.

22
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:07,087
We must save the family in the garden.
They must leave for Rokuhara.

23
00:04:07,213 --> 00:04:08,714
Yes, sire!

24
00:04:49,797 --> 00:04:53,926
Take the father and sister
ofthe Emperor to a safe place.

25
00:04:54,052 --> 00:04:59,348
Use volunteers to confuse the enemy.
Get out ofthe castle.

26
00:04:59,474 --> 00:05:01,517
Let's not lose any time!

27
00:05:04,395 --> 00:05:07,731
Who will act as decoy
as the sister ofthe Emperor¤

28
00:05:07,857 --> 00:05:11,401
It's vitally important.
A volunteer!Someone, please!

29
00:05:17,575 --> 00:05:19,535
- May I assist you, sire?
- Who are you?

30
00:05:19,661 --> 00:05:22,246
- My name is Kesa, sire.
- Very well.

31
00:05:22,372 --> 00:05:26,083
Your carriage will be protected
by Morito.

32
00:05:38,221 --> 00:05:41,098
There goes the Emperor's sister.
Stop them!

33
00:08:01,572 --> 00:08:04,032
Is anybody here?

34
00:08:20,883 --> 00:08:22,676
Grandfather!

35
00:08:30,727 --> 00:08:35,814
Grandfather?
Where are you? Kakisuke!

36
00:08:52,540 --> 00:08:54,708
Be strong!

37
00:09:23,571 --> 00:09:25,363
You're awake...

38
00:09:26,324 --> 00:09:29,618
This is my family home.
You will be safe here.

39
00:09:32,330 --> 00:09:35,999
Stay here and rest.
I must return to Sanjo Castle.

40
00:09:41,589 --> 00:09:44,800
- Who are you?
- I am Rokuro of Mutsu.

41
00:09:44,926 --> 00:09:48,553
- Rokuro? Never heard ofyou.
- Where's Moritada?

42
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,098
- My brother is not here.
- I will wait for him.

43
00:09:56,145 --> 00:09:59,481
Trust me. I'm under the orders
of Lord Samanokami.

44
00:09:59,607 --> 00:10:03,985
Samanokami? And why do you wish
to see my brother?

45
00:10:04,111 --> 00:10:07,197
Your brother Moritada
has done a fine job.

46
00:10:07,323 --> 00:10:11,576
Both Lord Samanokami and Lord Uemon
are very impressed with him.

47
00:10:11,702 --> 00:10:14,496
Has he sided with the rebels?

48
00:10:19,460 --> 00:10:22,212
Who is that girl?

49
00:10:23,965 --> 00:10:25,382
What's that for?

50
00:10:26,801 --> 00:10:32,347
By the look of her clothes...
I'd say she's the Emperor's sister.

51
00:10:32,473 --> 00:10:33,890
Fool!

52
00:10:34,016 --> 00:10:36,685
Are you truly the brother of Moritada?

53
00:10:36,811 --> 00:10:39,145
The blood ofthe Endo family courses
through me and my brother!

54
00:10:39,272 --> 00:10:41,398
And I'm faithful to the Emperor!

55
00:10:41,524 --> 00:10:43,149
Damn you!

56
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,634
Morito!Stop it!

57
00:11:10,761 --> 00:11:13,638
Brother!Aren't you ashamed
to support the rebellion?

58
00:11:13,764 --> 00:11:15,891
Morito, calm down!

59
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:20,270
The world has changed completely
since yesterday.

60
00:11:20,396 --> 00:11:23,315
They chopped offthe head
of Priest Shinzei.

61
00:11:23,441 --> 00:11:29,154
Also, Rokuhara is surrounded
by Yoshitomo's elite.

62
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,617
But, Brothe¤, please reconsider.
You have never been one ofthem.

63
00:11:33,743 --> 00:11:35,660
I have my own opinion.

64
00:11:35,786 --> 00:11:39,289
What does it serve me
to be faithful to Kiyomori?

65
00:11:40,124 --> 00:11:45,086
When you swear allegiance to a man,
he is your master!

66
00:11:45,212 --> 00:11:47,422
Only cowards betray their liege
in his absence!

67
00:11:47,548 --> 00:11:53,470
Don't be mistaken, it's not cowardice.
I do it in my own interest.

68
00:11:53,596 --> 00:11:57,682
You will never win!
We will annihilate you!

69
00:12:02,438 --> 00:12:04,314
E¤pect no mercy from me, Brother!

70
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,983
Don't touch him!

71
00:12:07,109 --> 00:12:11,363
I want you to know that the route
to the west is blocked.

72
00:12:11,489 --> 00:12:13,573
Join forces with us.

73
00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:16,743
Come, let us talk elsewhere.

74
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:48,858
The head of Priest Shinzei hangs
outside the Gate of Hell!

75
00:12:48,985 --> 00:12:53,238
- Is it really the head ofShinzei?
- We're all going to see it!Come on!

76
00:12:56,158 --> 00:12:58,118
The worst is already over,

77
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:02,998
but the Emperor's father and sister
are prisoners ofthe enemy.

78
00:13:03,124 --> 00:13:07,002
And the head of Priest Shinzei
hangs by the Gate of Hell.

79
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:27,605
I'm sure Shinzei didn't expect
his own head to be hung on the gate.

80
00:13:27,732 --> 00:13:30,567
A¤er the Hogen Rebellion,
he beheaded hundreds here

81
00:13:30,693 --> 00:13:35,613
and they called it the Gate of Hell.
You get what you deserve!

82
00:13:35,740 --> 00:13:40,952
Look! Here comes Lord Nobuyori
to inspect the heads.

83
00:13:42,496 --> 00:13:45,290
We'd better not stay here.

84
00:14:12,568 --> 00:14:14,986
Master, we are being watched.

85
00:14:39,637 --> 00:14:41,221
Morito!

86
00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:43,264
Ah, Kogenta!

87
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:49,479
What became of Rokuhara?
I heard Yoshitomo besieged it.

88
00:14:49,605 --> 00:14:53,650
- What is it?
- You're not like your brother, I hope.

89
00:14:53,776 --> 00:14:57,529
- How so?
- He has a price on his treacherous head!

90
00:14:57,655 --> 00:15:02,117
- Maybe I'll have to kill you too!
- You fool! I didn'tjoin him!

91
00:15:02,243 --> 00:15:05,620
Morito. Can you prove that?

92
00:15:07,581 --> 00:15:11,000
Yes. I will go and see Kiyomori
on the island of Itsukushima.

93
00:15:11,127 --> 00:15:14,796
To Itsukushima? Go, then.
Heiroku and Tadatsuna have gone too.

94
00:15:14,922 --> 00:15:16,798
Heiroku too?

95
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:26,427
Father!

96
00:17:53,914 --> 00:17:57,083
Why did you allow Nobuyori
to build the castle?

97
00:17:57,209 --> 00:18:00,962
And what do you know
about my father and sister?

98
00:18:01,088 --> 00:18:04,424
- Well...
- You don't know what to say!Call Morito!

99
00:18:04,550 --> 00:18:06,426
Yes, master.

100
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,352
Rokuhara is also in danger.
I'm surrounded by useless fools!

101
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:42,670
The head ofShinzei hangs
by the Gate of Hell?

102
00:18:42,796 --> 00:18:46,549
That's not all.
The Emperor's father and sister...

103
00:18:46,675 --> 00:18:52,764
- Have they been taken prisoner?
- Yes. They tried to flee but were caught.

104
00:18:52,890 --> 00:18:56,309
- Who has betrayed me?
- Nobusumi ofthe So Clan.

105
00:18:56,435 --> 00:18:59,812
And Sakagami Kanenari as well, no?

106
00:18:59,938 --> 00:19:01,564
Yes.

107
00:19:04,943 --> 00:19:08,571
My brother Moritada
was involved, sire.

108
00:19:09,865 --> 00:19:11,783
Your brother too?

109
00:19:13,285 --> 00:19:16,454
Very well. You may go.

110
00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:19,707
We have no time to lose.
We must return to Kyoto.

111
00:19:19,833 --> 00:19:22,293
I realise that.

112
00:19:22,419 --> 00:19:26,381
Father, what Morito says is right.

113
00:19:26,507 --> 00:19:28,633
Hesitation now may destroy us.

114
00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:33,638
How can we fight? We are fifty men,
without any armour!

115
00:19:33,764 --> 00:19:40,603
We have armour for our vassals.
It is hidden secretly in our baggage.

116
00:19:40,729 --> 00:19:45,066
- You brought it with you?
- Yes. For such an emergency.

117
00:19:45,192 --> 00:19:47,860
Morito. You may go.

118
00:20:15,514 --> 00:20:17,390
What are you doing?

119
00:21:17,784 --> 00:21:23,331
<i>Lord Kiyomori entered</i>
<i>the capital Kyoto with his troops</i>

120
00:21:23,457 --> 00:21:28,002
<i>and wiped out Nobuyori's rebels</i>
<i>by the Gate ofTaiken in Rokuhara.</i>

121
00:21:29,296 --> 00:21:34,258
<i>This was the beginning ofthe Eireki Era,</i>
<i>the year ofthe dragon.</i>

122
00:21:34,384 --> 00:21:38,012
<i>The Taira Clan recaptured</i>
<i>the control ofthe count</i>ry<i>.</i>

123
00:22:18,011 --> 00:22:23,266
There it is, the name of Rokuro of Mutsu
who I killed at the Taiken Gate!

124
00:22:23,392 --> 00:22:26,769
Nonsense!
I was the one who took his head.

125
00:22:26,895 --> 00:22:31,107
What did you say? Maybe it was
Shichiro of Mutsu, his twin.

126
00:22:34,945 --> 00:22:40,741
Nobuyori didn't believe that Kiyomori
could recover the country in one month.

127
00:22:40,867 --> 00:22:43,661
Now there will be peace for a time.

128
00:22:54,381 --> 00:22:56,716
FALLEN IN COMBAT

129
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,928
ENDO MORITADA

130
00:23:05,183 --> 00:23:10,271
Morito, light some incense
for the repose ofyour brother's soul.

131
00:23:13,692 --> 00:23:15,318
The poor fool.

132
00:23:19,281 --> 00:23:23,367
Tomorrow, battle rewards
will be conferred upon us.

133
00:23:23,493 --> 00:23:25,328
I'll ask for a new set of armour.

134
00:23:25,454 --> 00:23:28,414
You think you deserve one
for doing nothing?

135
00:24:07,954 --> 00:24:11,499
It is you.
You made it to safety.

136
00:24:13,210 --> 00:24:17,338
- It's you, sire.
- I am glad to see you.

137
00:24:17,464 --> 00:24:19,840
I've wanted to thank you
for all you did.

138
00:24:19,966 --> 00:24:21,467
It was nothing.

139
00:24:23,178 --> 00:24:28,057
Though I have no relatives buried here,
I wanted to pay respects.

140
00:24:45,033 --> 00:24:46,951
This is my aunt.

141
00:24:48,328 --> 00:24:52,498
- My name is Sawa, sire.
- And where do you hail from?

142
00:24:52,624 --> 00:24:56,085
- From Shirakawa.
- Famous for its chestnuts?

143
00:24:56,211 --> 00:25:01,090
Yes, sire. In autumn,
the hillsides are covered with them.

144
00:25:01,216 --> 00:25:04,593
And was the lady also born
in Shirakawa?

145
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,765
Kesa was raised
in our humble home since birth.

146
00:25:09,891 --> 00:25:13,894
So your niece's name is Kesa?

147
00:25:14,020 --> 00:25:17,106
When she entered imperial service
at the castle,

148
00:25:17,232 --> 00:25:21,193
the Emperor's sister bestowed
this name upon her, sire.

149
00:25:22,904 --> 00:25:24,864
A fine name.

150
00:25:34,708 --> 00:25:40,379
She has attained distinction at court.
I am very proud of her.

151
00:25:40,505 --> 00:25:43,507
- Aunt...
- You must visit my home.

152
00:25:43,633 --> 00:25:47,136
- I will offer you something to eat.
- That's very kind, sire.

153
00:25:47,262 --> 00:25:51,682
But Kesa must return
to the castle right away.

154
00:25:53,059 --> 00:25:57,229
I see. That's a shame.

155
00:25:58,482 --> 00:26:01,317
I apologise.
Perhaps some other time.

156
00:26:16,583 --> 00:26:19,919
Morito, I can see you look smitten.

157
00:26:37,813 --> 00:26:39,647
Well, Sadafusa,

158
00:26:40,607 --> 00:26:46,111
I appoint you Governor of Ise
and grant you a fine steed.

159
00:26:46,238 --> 00:26:48,280
I am very grateful, Master.

160
00:26:48,406 --> 00:26:50,533
Next is Tomoyuki.

161
00:26:50,659 --> 00:26:52,785
- Tomoyuki!
- Sire.

162
00:26:57,666 --> 00:27:00,584
I give you the country estate
of Gokanosho in Tajima.

163
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,546
Thank you, my lord.

164
00:27:06,424 --> 00:27:08,717
- Kogenta.
- Sire!

165
00:27:13,723 --> 00:27:16,392
I believe you wanted to ask me
for something.

166
00:27:16,518 --> 00:27:21,981
Yes. The Hachijin sword and
the Tsukune figure that you adore.

167
00:27:22,107 --> 00:27:25,317
Very well. A strange request,
but I grant them to you.

168
00:27:26,945 --> 00:27:30,781
- Ah, there you are, Morito.
- Sire!

169
00:27:39,457 --> 00:27:42,418
In spite ofyour brother
Moritada's treachery,

170
00:27:42,544 --> 00:27:46,505
you killed Masanaka and fought bravely
at the Taiken Gate.

171
00:27:46,631 --> 00:27:49,258
Ask of me what you wish.

172
00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:54,054
- Will you grant what I ask ofyou?
- Kiyomori always fulfils his promise.

173
00:27:54,180 --> 00:27:56,682
Unless you ask for my head!

174
00:27:58,643 --> 00:28:03,981
I would like you, Lord Kiyomori,
to arrange a marriage for me.

175
00:28:04,107 --> 00:28:07,526
- Arrange a marriage for you?
- Yes, sire.

176
00:28:07,652 --> 00:28:13,282
Very well. So be it.
Who do you wish to marry?

177
00:28:13,408 --> 00:28:19,246
She is a lady-in-waiting at court.
Her name is Kesa, sire.

178
00:28:19,372 --> 00:28:24,919
Kesa? I don't recall her.
But I'm sure she's a beauty.

179
00:28:25,045 --> 00:28:29,089
Very well, I will speak
to Her Majesty on your behalf.

180
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,595
Thank you. I am overjoyed, sire.

181
00:28:38,016 --> 00:28:39,683
Why do you laugh?

182
00:28:39,809 --> 00:28:43,437
Few ofyou would show the courage
to admit his feelings.

183
00:28:44,731 --> 00:28:47,566
Morito, your wish will be granted.

184
00:28:49,486 --> 00:28:50,986
My lord!

185
00:28:51,112 --> 00:28:56,200
Kesa is the wife ofWatanabe Wataru
ofthe Imperial Guards.

186
00:28:56,326 --> 00:28:57,826
What?

187
00:29:05,543 --> 00:29:10,297
Morito, as you've just heard,
it seems Kesa is already married.

188
00:29:12,842 --> 00:29:16,804
Bad luck!
What an embarrassment for me!

189
00:29:16,930 --> 00:29:21,725
I appeal to your power
to grant me Kesa as my wife.

190
00:29:21,851 --> 00:29:25,437
- That's impossible.
- You said you fulfil your promises!

191
00:29:32,529 --> 00:29:35,698
My lord cannot grant you
another man's wife.

192
00:29:35,824 --> 00:29:39,076
Is there no other request
you could make?

193
00:29:40,954 --> 00:29:44,665
Morito, why don't you answer?

194
00:29:46,001 --> 00:29:47,835
Do you understand?

195
00:29:49,254 --> 00:29:51,547
Did you not hear my explanation?

196
00:30:27,417 --> 00:30:31,378
Oh, you must let me do that for you,
my lady.

197
00:30:31,504 --> 00:30:33,630
I was simply amusing myself.

198
00:30:38,011 --> 00:30:43,849
Really, Kesa. A lady ofthe court
shouldn't be cleaning!

199
00:30:44,893 --> 00:30:48,645
I've always liked doing
my own household chores.

200
00:30:48,772 --> 00:30:50,939
Finish that for me.

201
00:30:52,025 --> 00:30:56,612
You may not be aware of it, Kesa,

202
00:30:56,738 --> 00:31:00,032
but have you heard what happened
at Rokuhara yesterday?

203
00:31:00,158 --> 00:31:03,994
Apparently, everybody in the capital
is talking about it.

204
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,082
A soldier of lower rank,
as an award for his services,

205
00:31:08,208 --> 00:31:11,043
asked Lord Kiyomori
permission to marry you.

206
00:31:11,169 --> 00:31:13,295
The nerve ofthe man!

207
00:31:13,421 --> 00:31:17,091
¤uite unbelievable how he could ask
for the hand of a lady who's married.

208
00:31:17,217 --> 00:31:21,929
He is a rural samurai named Morito.
I wonder what he was thinking.

209
00:31:22,055 --> 00:31:26,225
The master was laughing about it
this very morning.

210
00:31:26,351 --> 00:31:29,353
It's inappropriate to make light of it.

211
00:31:29,479 --> 00:31:33,982
Indeed. The incident must have
angered your husband Lord Wataru.

212
00:31:34,109 --> 00:31:36,777
We ofthe noble and respected
Fujiwara Clan

213
00:31:36,903 --> 00:31:40,697
should resent this insolence
ofthis country samurai.

214
00:31:40,824 --> 00:31:46,620
Furthermore, the brother ofthis Morito
was one ofthe traitors in the rebellion.

215
00:31:48,790 --> 00:31:50,999
Let us not talk ofthis.

216
00:31:52,877 --> 00:31:56,672
What a world we live in!

217
00:31:56,798 --> 00:31:58,632
Listen to me, Lady Kesa.

218
00:31:58,758 --> 00:32:02,845
A lady of elegance must
remain alooffrom the world.

219
00:32:02,971 --> 00:32:06,223
Othe¤ise, problems may ensue.

220
00:32:06,349 --> 00:32:09,143
It seems like the master
has returned.

221
00:32:22,949 --> 00:32:25,534
Is that talkative widow over again?

222
00:32:25,660 --> 00:32:28,871
Yes. I think she has much time
on her hands.

223
00:32:35,253 --> 00:32:39,464
- Welcome home.
- Has Lady Mano left?

224
00:32:39,591 --> 00:32:40,716
Yes.

225
00:32:40,842 --> 00:32:42,843
She visits me frequently,

226
00:32:42,969 --> 00:32:46,096
and shows me how the wife
of a samurai should act.

227
00:32:46,222 --> 00:32:49,057
I am very grateful to her.

228
00:32:52,353 --> 00:32:54,730
Your face is pallid, sire.

229
00:32:56,608 --> 00:32:58,942
Do not worry, it's nothing.

230
00:32:59,068 --> 00:33:03,405
But is there something
worrying you, sire?

231
00:33:03,531 --> 00:33:06,200
Why do you ask me that?

232
00:33:06,326 --> 00:33:11,872
I've been made aware
of a ridiculous rumour about me.

233
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:17,211
- Please forgive me.
- Is this about Morito?

234
00:33:18,463 --> 00:33:19,880
Yes.

235
00:33:21,049 --> 00:33:27,804
I've asked myself, could anything
I might have said raised his hopes?

236
00:33:27,931 --> 00:33:30,557
I am greatly troubled by this.

237
00:33:30,683 --> 00:33:34,436
Do not worry yourself.
None of it is your fault.

238
00:33:36,105 --> 00:33:39,316
Except that you are beautiful,
even he can see that.

239
00:33:40,693 --> 00:33:45,364
But you are my wife, and Morito
will never be able to approach you.

240
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,410
I was hoping to hear you say that, sire.

241
00:33:51,704 --> 00:33:55,374
I was so worried, I didn't know
how to broach the subject.

242
00:33:56,292 --> 00:34:01,338
We samurai may be tough,
but there are limits.

243
00:34:02,465 --> 00:34:05,592
Come, smile for me.

244
00:34:09,138 --> 00:34:12,516
- There!
- Such silliness.

245
00:34:12,642 --> 00:34:15,852
Will you drink a little sake
with me?

246
00:34:15,979 --> 00:34:17,229
Yes.

247
00:34:17,355 --> 00:34:20,482
And ifyou get drunk,
I'll bombard you with questions!

248
00:34:20,608 --> 00:34:22,025
Little devil!

249
00:34:28,491 --> 00:34:33,412
Lord Kiyomori has sent a messenger
to request your presence, my lady.

250
00:34:33,538 --> 00:34:35,539
- Me?
- Yes.

251
00:34:40,336 --> 00:34:42,713
Tell him that I am sick
and cannot get up.

252
00:34:42,839 --> 00:34:44,214
No.

253
00:34:44,340 --> 00:34:48,427
It would be inappropriate to decline
an invitation from Lord Kiyomori.

254
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:54,891
Also, he's the one who employs you
in the service of his sister.

255
00:34:55,018 --> 00:34:56,643
You must go.

256
00:34:56,769 --> 00:35:01,815
But what does he want of me?
I have a sense offoreboding.

257
00:35:01,941 --> 00:35:05,736
It's nothing to worry about.
Tone?

258
00:35:05,862 --> 00:35:09,656
- Tell him the lady accepts the invitation.
- Yes.

259
00:36:06,172 --> 00:36:08,215
Now I understand...

260
00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:24,898
- Is Morito here?
- Yes.

261
00:36:25,024 --> 00:36:27,025
Bring him here.

262
00:36:27,151 --> 00:36:30,487
And I'll make my presence scarce.

263
00:37:03,688 --> 00:37:07,899
Do you hear that?
The one playing the koto is Kesa.

264
00:37:08,025 --> 00:37:12,362
Since you want her so much,
I've decided to give you one chance.

265
00:37:12,488 --> 00:37:15,490
Let's see what she says.

266
00:37:18,828 --> 00:37:23,331
But remember this,
the decision is hers to make.

267
00:37:23,458 --> 00:37:27,335
And if she declines,
you give up gracefully, yes?

268
00:37:27,462 --> 00:37:30,922
Very well. On your way.

269
00:37:31,048 --> 00:37:32,841
What's wrong with you?

270
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:36,470
What a coward!
Where's your warrior's valour now?

271
00:37:37,847 --> 00:37:41,057
I am not afraid!
With your permission...

272
00:37:46,481 --> 00:37:49,691
I wonder what
the pig-headed fool will do!

273
00:37:49,817 --> 00:37:54,196
My lord, I believe
you have gone too far.

274
00:38:31,567 --> 00:38:33,068
Please stop.

275
00:38:38,616 --> 00:38:40,408
Will you stop?

276
00:38:41,536 --> 00:38:42,994
Enough!

277
00:38:51,587 --> 00:38:53,672
I am not a man
who speaks falsely.

278
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,842
When I told Lord Kiyomori
about my desire,

279
00:38:57,969 --> 00:39:02,556
I didn't know you were married.

280
00:39:02,682 --> 00:39:04,766
But I can't give you up.

281
00:39:05,935 --> 00:39:09,688
- What you want is impossible.
- I know it seems impossible.

282
00:39:09,814 --> 00:39:14,109
Lady Kesa, can you understand
how I feel in my heart?

283
00:39:14,235 --> 00:39:17,696
I will do anything
in the world for you.

284
00:39:17,822 --> 00:39:21,783
- That cannot be.
- Why not?

285
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,913
Because I already have
a husband.

286
00:39:27,039 --> 00:39:30,041
You think I'm of lower rank
than Lord Wataru?

287
00:39:34,630 --> 00:39:36,923
Let me go, please.

288
00:39:38,092 --> 00:39:39,801
Lady Kesa...

289
00:39:43,681 --> 00:39:46,349
Lady Kesa, the master wants you.

290
00:40:26,974 --> 00:40:31,227
So, Wataru,
what are you thinking about?

291
00:40:32,688 --> 00:40:36,024
I don't suppose it worries you

292
00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:40,070
that this peasant from Rokuhara
has fallen in love with your wife.

293
00:40:40,196 --> 00:40:44,282
Why would it?
Wataru and Kesa's marriage is strong.

294
00:40:44,408 --> 00:40:47,577
Why would you worry
about this Morito?

295
00:40:47,703 --> 00:40:51,289
What are you prattling on about?

296
00:40:51,415 --> 00:40:57,796
We are here as guests
for the horse race tomorrow,

297
00:40:57,922 --> 00:41:00,006
so let's change the conversation.

298
00:41:00,132 --> 00:41:03,968
You're single, you don't understand
these conversations.

299
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:05,929
- What?
- Be quiet!

300
00:41:12,978 --> 00:41:19,526
Hey, have you heard what
that idiot from Rokuhara has done?

301
00:41:19,652 --> 00:41:21,820
- Morito?
- What's he done now?

302
00:41:21,946 --> 00:41:24,447
He has registered
for the horse race tomorrow.

303
00:41:24,573 --> 00:41:27,701
What? Does he want to compete
against Wataru?

304
00:41:29,161 --> 00:41:31,788
That should be interesting.

305
00:41:33,874 --> 00:41:37,502
Don't be a fool!
He may start trouble.

306
00:41:37,628 --> 00:41:41,589
We don't know
what he's capable of.

307
00:41:41,716 --> 00:41:45,385
Wataru, I'll take your place
ifyou so wish.

308
00:41:45,511 --> 00:41:50,348
No need!Wataru beat them all
in the race last year.

309
00:41:51,642 --> 00:41:54,811
You think he'd lose
to this poor wretch Morito?

310
00:41:54,937 --> 00:41:57,731
Right, Wataru?

311
00:41:57,857 --> 00:42:03,319
It's only a competition,
a race in homage to the gods.

312
00:42:03,446 --> 00:42:08,533
Regardless ofwho my competitors are,
I will always act with honour.

313
00:42:08,659 --> 00:42:10,618
I don't agree!

314
00:42:10,745 --> 00:42:17,459
This race is ofgreat importance.
You must win to defend your name.

315
00:42:17,585 --> 00:42:21,588
You must beat that fool!

316
00:42:21,714 --> 00:42:26,384
- You must despise him!
- No. The gods will decide who wins.

317
00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:30,764
The Endo Clan are also samurai.
Their hearts are as noble as mine.

318
00:42:30,890 --> 00:42:35,101
Nevertheless, the two ofyou
are competing against each other,

319
00:42:35,227 --> 00:42:38,313
so tomorrow's race
promises to be exciting!

320
00:42:41,942 --> 00:42:44,486
Tone, is Kesa not home yet?

321
00:42:44,612 --> 00:42:48,072
She came in a while ago, sire.

322
00:43:02,797 --> 00:43:06,216
I didn't know you'd returned.
What did he want with you?

323
00:43:08,135 --> 00:43:09,677
What is it?

324
00:43:11,847 --> 00:43:13,807
He summoned me...

325
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:18,436
...simply to test my feelings.

326
00:43:18,562 --> 00:43:21,147
- Your feelings?
- Yes.

327
00:43:22,441 --> 00:43:27,695
Lord Kiyomori had arranged
a meeting with Morito.

328
00:43:27,822 --> 00:43:32,450
- And?
- I rejected him outright, of course.

329
00:43:33,911 --> 00:43:36,329
I felt so humiliated!

330
00:43:38,457 --> 00:43:41,668
I see.
You've behaved impeccably.

331
00:43:43,170 --> 00:43:46,798
One cannot change
a person's feelings by force.

332
00:43:46,924 --> 00:43:51,094
It must have been a lesson
to both Lord Kiyomori and Morito.

333
00:43:51,220 --> 00:43:53,847
Come, cry no more.

334
00:43:56,183 --> 00:44:00,061
You must come to the races tomorrow,
it should be entertaining.

335
00:44:02,481 --> 00:44:08,319
They said that Morito
will compete against you.

336
00:44:08,445 --> 00:44:10,738
The tournament is dedicated
to the gods.

337
00:44:10,865 --> 00:44:14,158
I will compete
to the best of my abilities.

338
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:18,121
Is it really necessary
for you to take part?

339
00:44:18,247 --> 00:44:22,458
Do not worry.
I will surely win this year too.

340
00:44:24,128 --> 00:44:26,129
Kesa, listen.

341
00:44:27,339 --> 00:44:33,052
Whatever happens, you must remain
calm, or people will be watching.

342
00:44:33,178 --> 00:44:35,096
Yes, sire.

343
00:44:35,222 --> 00:44:38,474
Come into the garden
and view the moon with me.

344
00:44:49,403 --> 00:44:52,614
Have your friends
already retired for the night?

345
00:44:52,740 --> 00:44:56,075
Yes, after too much talk
and too much drinking!

346
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:05,835
Kesa, I won't let anybody
take you from me.

347
00:45:08,714 --> 00:45:10,340
You understand?

348
00:45:15,054 --> 00:45:17,305
Tomorrow will be a fine day.

349
00:45:44,541 --> 00:45:46,751
So that's Lord Wataru?

350
00:45:50,714 --> 00:45:52,382
Yes, that's him.

351
00:45:53,842 --> 00:45:58,513
- I will crush him today.
- Morito, you must play fair.

352
00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:00,348
I know that!

353
00:46:00,474 --> 00:46:03,601
I'll put on a display for the crowds.

354
00:46:42,808 --> 00:46:44,475
Kakisuke!

355
00:46:44,601 --> 00:46:46,561
See ifthe reds or purples
are winning.

356
00:46:58,657 --> 00:47:01,075
- Red has won.
- We'll win for sure!

357
00:47:21,138 --> 00:47:23,973
- Morito, play fair.
- I heard you.

358
00:48:10,312 --> 00:48:14,023
- This contest should be interesting.
- The best race yet.

359
00:48:14,149 --> 00:48:17,819
The rivals in the scandal
competing face-to-¤ace.

360
00:49:13,041 --> 00:49:15,168
Morito is the winner!

361
00:49:22,968 --> 00:49:24,635
Well done.

362
00:49:30,350 --> 00:49:32,977
Well contested, Morito.

363
00:49:33,979 --> 00:49:36,564
You should have whipped
the horse more!

364
00:49:36,690 --> 00:49:40,943
- Did you throw the race?
- Nonsense! He was better than me.

365
00:49:41,069 --> 00:49:43,112
I don't think so!

366
00:49:45,407 --> 00:49:48,284
Master, your wife awaits you.

367
00:49:48,410 --> 00:49:49,869
Very well.

368
00:50:03,425 --> 00:50:05,843
We are now to attend
the awards ceremony.

369
00:50:05,969 --> 00:50:08,888
Forget about the rivalry, Morito.

370
00:51:04,278 --> 00:51:08,572
The ceremony of conciliation begins.
No more rivalry exists.

371
00:51:12,077 --> 00:51:14,036
No more grudges are held.

372
00:51:14,162 --> 00:51:19,792
Once in a year, the various
samurai clans come together.

373
00:51:19,918 --> 00:51:22,336
Drink and enjoy yourselves.

374
00:51:35,475 --> 00:51:37,935
That certainly was a fine race!

375
00:51:40,856 --> 00:51:44,859
I, for one, am sure
Wataru allowed him to win.

376
00:51:44,985 --> 00:51:47,445
Everybody could see that.

377
00:51:47,571 --> 00:51:52,491
Lady Kesa must have warned him:
better to be wise than a winner.

378
00:51:56,580 --> 00:52:00,750
That's true.
He hardly used his whip.

379
00:52:00,876 --> 00:52:02,960
Right, Wataru?

380
00:52:03,086 --> 00:52:07,631
- No, he was the better rider.
- Come on, tell the truth.

381
00:52:07,758 --> 00:52:10,760
¤¤The wise man never
courts danger,¤¤ eh?

382
00:52:13,263 --> 00:52:14,847
Enough!

383
00:52:15,807 --> 00:52:20,186
I object to what you're saying.
Let's compete again!

384
00:52:20,312 --> 00:52:22,772
How interesting.
Another competition?

385
00:52:22,898 --> 00:52:25,649
Why not? Both ofyou can
settle matters in the garden.

386
00:52:25,776 --> 00:52:29,028
Right, then!
And if necessary, with blades!

387
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,626
Running away?

388
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,884
All ofyou can join him there too!

389
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:56,639
Those ofyou who say I won unfairly
will answer to my sword!

390
00:52:59,518 --> 00:53:03,187
Morito, have you forgotten
the meaning ofthis festival?

391
00:53:03,313 --> 00:53:06,399
Aggressive behaviour
is unacceptable. Get out!

392
00:53:06,525 --> 00:53:08,651
Get out!

393
00:53:08,777 --> 00:53:10,611
You fool!

394
00:53:10,737 --> 00:53:16,033
You think such behaviour over a woman
is worthy of a samurai?

395
00:53:16,159 --> 00:53:18,160
You are dismissed!

396
00:53:45,021 --> 00:53:47,606
My lady, you must hide yourself.

397
00:53:47,732 --> 00:53:49,775
Why, what is going on?

398
00:53:49,901 --> 00:53:53,404
The warrior Endo Morito is here
in a rage and wants to see you.

399
00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:57,366
He says he has something
important to ask you.

400
00:53:57,492 --> 00:53:59,702
And what did you tell him?

401
00:53:59,828 --> 00:54:02,163
That the master ofthe house was out

402
00:54:02,289 --> 00:54:06,917
and the lady hadn't returned
from an engagement.

403
00:54:07,043 --> 00:54:11,130
But he said he would not go away
until you returned.

404
00:54:35,739 --> 00:54:41,994
I have been told that her ladyship
has gone to visit her aunt

405
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,831
and will probably not return
this evening.

406
00:54:45,957 --> 00:54:48,584
- She is at her aunt's?
- Yes.

407
00:54:50,504 --> 00:54:52,004
Very well!

408
00:56:07,539 --> 00:56:12,293
I know that Lady Kesa is here.
They told me so at the Watanabe house.

409
00:56:12,419 --> 00:56:16,630
- No, she is not here, sire.
- Enough! I will search the house.

410
00:56:16,756 --> 00:56:20,342
Nevertheless,
you will not find her ladyship.

411
00:56:20,468 --> 00:56:24,138
- Are you lying to me?
- Why would I lie to you?

412
00:56:29,644 --> 00:56:32,813
So she was in the house
all the time.

413
00:56:40,155 --> 00:56:42,197
I refuse to give her up.

414
00:56:43,867 --> 00:56:45,367
Of course!

415
00:56:46,411 --> 00:56:51,040
Summon your niece here,
I must see her.

416
00:56:51,166 --> 00:56:55,210
- That is impossible.
- This is a matter of life and death.

417
00:56:55,337 --> 00:57:00,007
She is the lady ofthe Watanabe house.
I cannot call her on a whim.

418
00:57:00,133 --> 00:57:03,469
- I order you to do it!
- Please...

419
00:57:03,595 --> 00:57:05,721
- Do you refuse?
- I do.

420
00:57:05,847 --> 00:57:12,353
In that case, I will kill anyone
who gets in my way!

421
00:57:12,479 --> 00:57:16,357
Master,
even if I were to go and get her,

422
00:57:16,483 --> 00:57:18,984
Lady Kesa may refuse to come.

423
00:57:19,110 --> 00:57:24,239
Send a messenger to say
you're on your death-bed and she'll come!

424
00:57:24,366 --> 00:57:26,450
- But such lies...
- You still refuse?

425
00:57:36,044 --> 00:57:39,546
Oh, I didn't know you'd returned.

426
00:57:39,673 --> 00:57:43,634
What's wrong? They said
you'd ensconced yourself in here.

427
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,344
Yes.

428
00:57:45,470 --> 00:57:50,432
A messenger arrived saying that
your aunt's ill and wants to see you.

429
00:57:50,558 --> 00:57:51,934
My aunt?

430
00:57:53,061 --> 00:57:55,646
Do you want me to go and see her?

431
00:57:55,772 --> 00:57:59,900
No. I shall go to her.

432
00:58:00,026 --> 00:58:03,946
Very well. Then you'd better
accompany the messenger there.

433
00:58:04,072 --> 00:58:07,324
If she doesn't improve,
I will go and see her too.

434
00:58:10,036 --> 00:58:12,955
The poor woman must feel lonely.

435
00:58:13,081 --> 00:58:15,916
- Take care on the way.
- Yes.

436
00:58:34,561 --> 00:58:36,937
Thank you for accompanying me.

437
00:58:49,409 --> 00:58:51,076
Aunt?

438
00:58:54,247 --> 00:58:57,207
- Kesa has come.
- Light a lantern.

439
00:59:14,684 --> 00:59:20,063
Lady Kesa, your aunt isn't sick.
Please don't worry.

440
00:59:20,190 --> 00:59:24,359
Forgive me for summoning you,
but he forced me with threats.

441
00:59:24,486 --> 00:59:27,196
Leave us alone.

442
00:59:27,322 --> 00:59:30,616
- Please don't act rashly...
- I shan't.

443
00:59:52,055 --> 00:59:54,056
So you came...

444
00:59:56,351 --> 00:59:58,769
What is it you want from me?

445
01:00:04,776 --> 01:00:09,112
I made you come so that you may
listen to the voice of my heart.

446
01:00:09,239 --> 01:00:13,450
Listening to you
will not change anything.

447
01:00:13,576 --> 01:00:16,870
Lady Kesa,
I will give up everything for you.

448
01:00:18,206 --> 01:00:20,582
You are all that matters to me.

449
01:00:20,708 --> 01:00:24,169
- Please understand how I feel...
- I cannot listen!

450
01:00:26,005 --> 01:00:30,551
You saved my life once.
And for that I am grateful.

451
01:00:32,220 --> 01:00:34,513
What are you doing?

452
01:00:34,639 --> 01:00:37,516
- Will you not listen to me?
- No.

453
01:00:37,642 --> 01:00:39,601
We'll see about that!

454
01:00:44,816 --> 01:00:47,359
You know you belong to me.

455
01:00:47,485 --> 01:00:51,154
Whatever you say, I will never
surrender my honour to you.

456
01:00:51,281 --> 01:00:54,575
- Leave your husband. Leave Wataru.
- I could never!

457
01:00:54,701 --> 01:00:58,829
You can. If not, I will kill him!

458
01:01:00,164 --> 01:01:05,586
And not only Wataru,
but your aunt also. Even you.

459
01:01:06,754 --> 01:01:09,381
I am capable of killing you all!

460
01:01:20,310 --> 01:01:26,189
How could you possibly want me
at such a high price?

461
01:01:26,316 --> 01:01:28,150
I want you.

462
01:01:28,276 --> 01:01:32,362
I cannot go on living without you.

463
01:01:33,323 --> 01:01:36,491
What do you say?
Do you still resist me?

464
01:01:38,411 --> 01:01:40,120
Answer me!

465
01:01:42,707 --> 01:01:46,877
Is that what you want?

466
01:01:47,003 --> 01:01:52,049
You want Wataru, your aunt and
even yourselfto die by my sword?

467
01:01:54,677 --> 01:01:59,765
Kesa, everything depends
on your answer.

468
01:02:25,458 --> 01:02:28,293
Please, let me go.

469
01:02:29,420 --> 01:02:30,879
Very well.

470
01:02:57,198 --> 01:03:00,409
I will do whatever you say.

471
01:03:03,162 --> 01:03:05,205
You have listened to my heart.

472
01:03:05,331 --> 01:03:08,125
But, in return,
leave my husband alone!

473
01:03:08,251 --> 01:03:10,460
I will slay him!

474
01:03:17,677 --> 01:03:19,845
I'll do it tonight.

475
01:03:26,811 --> 01:03:29,771
- Will you guide me to him?
- Yes.

476
01:03:29,897 --> 01:03:31,398
Good.

477
01:03:31,524 --> 01:03:36,945
At nine o'clock, extinguish the lantern
in Wataru's room.

478
01:03:40,241 --> 01:03:43,035
Ifyou disobey me,
I will kill you all.

479
01:03:52,545 --> 01:03:57,049
Ifyou step out ofthis house,
I will take your head!

480
01:04:35,630 --> 01:04:38,590
Oh!You're back already.

481
01:04:53,272 --> 01:04:55,190
Where is my husband?

482
01:04:55,316 --> 01:04:58,819
I saw him in there, not long ago,
reading.

483
01:04:58,945 --> 01:05:00,362
Really?

484
01:05:06,911 --> 01:05:09,913
Is your aunt seriously ill, my lady?

485
01:05:11,374 --> 01:05:16,461
No. She will be fine.

486
01:05:16,587 --> 01:05:20,841
I am glad. I was very worried.

487
01:05:28,474 --> 01:05:32,644
Will you prepare some sake?

488
01:05:35,439 --> 01:05:40,068
When it is ready,
you can retire to your room.

489
01:05:43,865 --> 01:05:46,241
Ah, wait a moment.

490
01:05:57,253 --> 01:05:59,337
I want to give you this.

491
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,883
But it's far too valuable.

492
01:06:03,009 --> 01:06:08,013
- Remember me by it.
- I will always keep it with me.

493
01:07:47,613 --> 01:07:51,825
- Kesa?
- I am sorry to be so late.

494
01:07:53,369 --> 01:07:55,036
How is your aunt?

495
01:07:57,331 --> 01:08:01,543
It seems she was feeling lonely.
My visit cheered her.

496
01:08:01,669 --> 01:08:03,545
I see.

497
01:08:03,671 --> 01:08:06,756
You must rest now. I will join you.

498
01:08:06,882 --> 01:08:11,970
But I'm frightened. It feels like
there's someone else in the house.

499
01:08:12,096 --> 01:08:15,974
- Someone else?
- It'sjust a feeling offoreboding.

500
01:08:16,100 --> 01:08:18,852
I will take a look.

501
01:08:44,462 --> 01:08:46,504
You see, there's nobody.

502
01:08:48,674 --> 01:08:50,967
I must have imagined it.

503
01:09:02,938 --> 01:09:06,858
- Will you have a drink?
- What's going on?

504
01:09:09,820 --> 01:09:11,654
Nothing.

505
01:09:11,781 --> 01:09:15,742
- Are you worried about your aunt?
- No.

506
01:09:16,827 --> 01:09:18,995
Tell me what's concerning you.

507
01:09:21,457 --> 01:09:25,710
- I'm not concerned about anything.
- I hope so.

508
01:09:30,549 --> 01:09:34,844
Music always lifts one's mood.
Play something for me.

509
01:10:55,050 --> 01:10:57,886
Why do you play such a sad tune?

510
01:11:00,306 --> 01:11:03,141
Are you crying?

511
01:11:03,267 --> 01:11:05,185
No.

512
01:11:05,311 --> 01:11:07,437
You must be tired.

513
01:11:07,563 --> 01:11:10,356
Drink some sake to relax.

514
01:11:10,483 --> 01:11:13,860
Yes, I will take a little.

515
01:11:45,476 --> 01:11:48,228
I have never seen you
gulp it down so fast!

516
01:11:52,566 --> 01:11:58,071
- Let's go to sleep.
- No. Let's stay awake a little longer.

517
01:11:59,907 --> 01:12:04,536
And tonight,
please rest in my room.

518
01:12:05,746 --> 01:12:08,081
- Sleep here?
- Yes.

519
01:12:09,542 --> 01:12:12,627
I will lie down
and listen to your music.

520
01:13:51,268 --> 01:13:53,603
What time would you say it is?

521
01:13:53,729 --> 01:13:57,190
It's almost nine o'clock.

522
01:13:57,900 --> 01:13:59,942
Nine o'clock, you say?

523
01:14:27,221 --> 01:14:29,222
A long life to you.

524
01:20:04,933 --> 01:20:06,559
Kesa!

525
01:20:07,602 --> 01:20:09,228
No!

526
01:20:14,901 --> 01:20:16,527
My god!

527
01:20:18,196 --> 01:20:21,907
I never imagined that
you would do this for him!

528
01:20:31,084 --> 01:20:32,752
Forgive me!

529
01:20:41,344 --> 01:20:43,554
Forgive me, Kesa.

530
01:20:48,393 --> 01:20:53,397
What a foolish wretch I am!

531
01:20:58,653 --> 01:21:02,990
I couldn't see
into your true heart.

532
01:21:05,494 --> 01:21:09,371
I have destroyed a beautiful soul!

533
01:21:23,637 --> 01:21:25,262
Wataru?

534
01:21:25,388 --> 01:21:26,722
Lord Wataru?

535
01:21:29,017 --> 01:21:31,519
Where are you, Wataru?

536
01:21:36,566 --> 01:21:38,109
Lord Wataru!

537
01:22:00,882 --> 01:22:02,174
Morito!

538
01:22:04,219 --> 01:22:05,511
Lord Wataru...

539
01:22:07,139 --> 01:22:09,765
- Behead me!
- What?

540
01:22:10,851 --> 01:22:12,893
Love has sent me insane.

541
01:22:13,019 --> 01:22:16,480
Believing it was you,
I have killed Lady Kesa!

542
01:22:19,109 --> 01:22:23,946
For her, it was shameful
to be loved by me.

543
01:22:24,072 --> 01:22:28,284
She changed places with you
and sacrificed herself.

544
01:22:32,414 --> 01:22:34,540
She was a woman ofgreat virtue.

545
01:22:37,627 --> 01:22:41,672
And before you is the foolish wretch
who killed her!

546
01:22:46,344 --> 01:22:52,474
What a fool I was to believe
I could conquer her heart by force?

547
01:22:58,940 --> 01:23:02,318
So, then... finish me.

548
01:23:02,444 --> 01:23:04,570
Cut me to pieces!

549
01:23:04,696 --> 01:23:06,739
Do with me as you wish!

550
01:23:25,884 --> 01:23:27,301
Kesa!

551
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,763
Is this farewell?

552
01:23:44,527 --> 01:23:47,613
Why didn't you tell me?

553
01:23:50,075 --> 01:23:55,996
Did you think it would please me
to see you die like this?

554
01:23:58,291 --> 01:24:02,294
Kesa... please hear my voice.

555
01:24:05,674 --> 01:24:12,388
A husband expects his wife
to have total faith in him.

556
01:24:14,391 --> 01:24:18,435
Why could you not trust me?

557
01:24:20,981 --> 01:24:24,692
Why did you not dare
ask me for help?

558
01:25:37,682 --> 01:25:39,224
So, Lord Wataru...

559
01:25:40,518 --> 01:25:42,686
Deal with me as you please.

560
01:25:43,897 --> 01:25:49,526
Finish me offfor being
the contemptible wretch that I am!

561
01:25:55,575 --> 01:25:59,620
You must despise me
for having killed your wife.

562
01:25:59,746 --> 01:26:02,915
Won't you unleash
all your vengeance on me?

563
01:26:05,251 --> 01:26:07,628
- That's not the answer.
- What?

564
01:26:08,755 --> 01:26:11,173
Even if I were to take your head,

565
01:26:12,759 --> 01:26:15,302
Kesa would not return to life.

566
01:26:18,348 --> 01:26:22,142
Here I am before you,
your wife's murderer.

567
01:26:22,268 --> 01:26:24,686
Are you afraid to take revenge?

568
01:26:25,105 --> 01:26:29,024
If I behead you,
then your penance will have ended.

569
01:26:30,235 --> 01:26:35,406
But what will become of me
after this tragedy?

570
01:26:39,577 --> 01:26:46,708
I must live on, knowing that my wife
did not trust me to prevent her death.

571
01:26:49,254 --> 01:26:51,755
What will become of me now?

572
01:26:59,848 --> 01:27:02,057
You are right, Lord Wataru.

573
01:27:17,323 --> 01:27:20,325
I will dedicate the rest of my life...

574
01:27:23,204 --> 01:27:27,207
...to suffer the tortures of hell
for what I have done.

575
01:27:56,696 --> 01:28:01,408
I, Morito, will completely
renounce this world.
