00:03:08,420 --> 00:03:10,619
Is Ryuko back yet?
28
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:13,119
Not yet.
29
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,170
They confirmed to me over the phone that
that the princess has already left.
30
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,620
Where does she stay?
31
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,270
She knows what we have
Kabuki tonight.
32
00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:31,799
Kazuko, are you ready?
33
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Yes.
34
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:42,770
What news about Ryuko?
35
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:48,750
Mom, you told Ryuko
about tonight?
36
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:51,750
I? No.
37
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,750
You told her about the engagement, didn't you?
38
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,250
Her fan is very impatient.
39
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,100
He invited us, we must come.
40
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:11,070
You should listen
her opinion on this matter.
41
00:04:11,370 --> 00:04:13,720
- This is extremely important.
- Yes.
42
00:04:15,950 --> 00:04:17,350
Madam.
43
00:04:17,870 --> 00:04:21,920
General Asabuki has come to see you.
44
00:04:22,170 --> 00:04:23,500
General Asabuki?
45
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:46,370
Ryu... Ryu...
46
00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:51,100
Here I am, Grandma.
47
00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:53,970
Welcome back. I knocked for you.
48
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:57,450
- Sensei is simply amazing!
- What's happened?
49
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:03,650
I had a feeling
and I hurried to Professor Kinosta.
50
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:05,970
He wants me to paint with oils!
51
00:05:06,350 --> 00:05:10,750
He accepted me as a student. This is wonderful!
52
00:05:10,770 --> 00:05:13,120
And it's true.
53
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:15,750
My premonition did not deceive me.
54
00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:21,650
I bought a robe.
All artists wear these.
55
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,220
I couldn't wait another day.
56
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:27,220
What a strange robe...
57
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:29,600
But it suits you very well.
58
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:33,900
Kinosta-sensei is the best artist.
59
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,350
He's a real gentleman.
60
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:41,849
Don't forget it's me
introduced you to him.
61
00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:44,000
You are wonderful to me too!
62
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,270
Thank you very much.
63
00:05:46,450 --> 00:05:50,870
I will become an artist
and in the spring I will send my work to the exhibition.
64
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:52,870
And they will win!
65
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:57,050
It's good to be young and dream big.
66
00:05:57,170 --> 00:05:59,870
I will dream
even when youth has passed!
67
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,900
Mom talks about marriage all the time.
But it's still too early for me.
68
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:08,220
Your parents think differently.
69
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:09,919
And you, Grandmother?
70
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,300
I want you to be happy.
71
00:06:18,270 --> 00:06:20,350
You are simply a miracle.
72
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:27,469
It's been so long already!
73
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:30,570
Hurry up or you'll be late.
74
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:44,220
Mother!
75
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,599
Sorry for being late.
76
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,420
Honey, something serious has happened.
77
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
We need to talk. Let's go.
78
00:07:30,020 --> 00:07:32,700
General Asabuki came.
79
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,119
What did he want?
80
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
A very important question.
81
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,850
There is talk about our Ryuko's engagement
with the brother of the Emperor of Manchuria.
82
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:52,450
A General arrived from the Headquarters of the Manchurian Army
Furuya to schedule the visit.
83
00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:55,900
- Whose engagement?
- Ryuko.
84
00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:57,220
With whom?
85
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:59,950
With the younger brother of the Emperor of Manchuria.
86
00:08:00,450 --> 00:08:01,950
Our Ryuko?!
87
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,300
What arrogance. This is just funny!
88
00:08:16,750 --> 00:08:20,220
But we'd better agree.
89
00:08:20,470 --> 00:08:23,070
The military has a lot of power.
90
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:27,870
We are not afraid of the military.
91
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,720
My granddaughter has no place among them.
92
00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:38,800
Mom, I believe this is a significant occasion.
93
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,250
If a Japanese woman becomes part
family of the Emperor of Manchuria...
94
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,500
... it's a great joy
for both states.
95
00:08:48,850 --> 00:08:52,150
General Asabuki was a military man
Governor of Manchuria.
96
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:56,250
The Manchurian army insists on this marriage.
97
00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:59,500
They have incredible power...
98
00:08:59,670 --> 00:09:02,450
...and have influence on all military personnel.
99
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,470
They are capable of things that God forbid.
100
00:09:05,950 --> 00:09:10,770
A recent attempt by the military
the coup confirms this.
101
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:14,820
I wouldn't date them.
102
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,900
Who is the most important person in the army now?
103
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:21,920
I'm ready to go to the Minister himself!
104
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:23,150
Mother.
105
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,600
The minister is not doing this.
106
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,550
- Then who?
- The whole army.
107
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:30,820
And no one separately?
108
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:35,120
That's it. This is their strength.
109
00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:40,250
We are blood relatives of Emperor Meiji.
110
00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:43,370
How could this happen?
111
00:09:43,570 --> 00:09:46,470
It would be better if we were simple people.
112
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,900
How can I give up my granddaughter...
113
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:55,050
...and send her to Manchuria...
114
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,650
...by order of the military?
115
00:10:15,150 --> 00:10:17,200
Can't wait?
116
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:19,370
- Sit down.
- Yes.
117
00:10:21,950 --> 00:10:25,300
I usually travel by plane.
118
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,250
I'm not used to crowded
Japanese trains.
119
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,919
Would you look
what they are like in Manchuria!
120
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,320
Yes?
121
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:37,300
I was going to meet you in Kyoto...
122
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:40,219
... but an urgent order arrived.
123
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,020
Have you received consent from Hosokawa's daughter?
124
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,550
As expected, they refused.
125
00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:50,750
What audacity!
126
00:10:51,250 --> 00:10:53,850
No, it's quite natural.
127
00:10:55,020 --> 00:10:59,450
The Emperor himself would like his brother
married a girl from the Qing Dynasty.
128
00:10:59,820 --> 00:11:05,070
This is why it is so important that
The army contributed with all its might...
129
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,150
...strengthening ties
between our countries.
130
00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:16,150
What's wrong with General Aki's daughter?
131
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:22,570
I have no desire for more
incite confrontation between ranks.
132
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:27,350
If it's the daughter of a military man,
wait for the consequences.
133
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:31,650
It must be a girl
from the Imperial Court.
134
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:35,050
There's no time to waste.
135
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:37,270
I decided so myself.
136
00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:42,600
The military can remove you at any time.
137
00:11:43,450 --> 00:11:45,920
Military? Who exactly?
138
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:50,000
Your fascist upstarts...
139
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,720
...who are trying to force me?
140
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,370
You just don't like
my centrist views.
141
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:03,920
I only wish the best for Prince Futetsu.
142
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:11,050
From many photographs he
himself chose Princess Ryuko.
143
00:12:11,370 --> 00:12:16,200
And you rushed to Hosokawa in Kyoto.
144
00:12:16,770 --> 00:12:20,170
It was a stupid and daring move.
145
00:12:21,250 --> 00:12:26,300
My responsibilities include supervision
for the imperial family of Manchuria.
146
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,450
And this is one of my main tasks.
147
00:12:58,050 --> 00:12:59,350
Let me introduce.
148
00:12:59,550 --> 00:13:02,620
His Highness Prince Futetsu.
149
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:09,850
General Asabuki and his wife
needs no introduction.
150
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,120
They play the role of intermediaries.
151
00:13:16,650 --> 00:13:20,200
I am Lieutenant General Furuya.
152
00:13:21,170 --> 00:13:25,714
Today's meeting is
state secret...
153
00:13:25,739 --> 00:13:29,424
...so everything is organized
a little hasty.
154
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:34,150
To avoid unwanted
counteraction...
155
00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:38,250
...please keep it a secret
everything that happens.
156
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,950
Grandmother of the bride.
157
00:14:33,270 --> 00:14:36,570
We are honored, Your Highness.
158
00:14:39,070 --> 00:14:40,750
Princess Ryuko.
159
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,570
In fact...
160
00:15:14,970 --> 00:15:17,587
... I laughed at the rumors
about your wealth...
161
00:15:17,612 --> 00:15:20,174
...until I slipped
on the marble, entering the house.
162
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:27,770
I didn't hurt myself, but for a moment
lost my balance.
163
00:15:31,950 --> 00:15:36,070
Money as such is nothing
don't mean anything to me...
164
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,950
...but now I see
how rich people live.
165
00:15:44,450 --> 00:15:48,300
Princess is engaged
painting and calligraphy.
166
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:00,670
The prince left Manchuria...
167
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,570
... and graduated from the Japanese Military Academy.
168
00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:07,320
Now he is undergoing officer training
training in Chiba...
169
00:16:07,450 --> 00:16:10,300
...so he speaks Japanese fluently.
170
00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:13,220
He also knows how to make witty jokes.
171
00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:18,220
I have to say...
172
00:16:18,450 --> 00:16:23,070
... that the Prince is satisfied with such a marriage...
173
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:26,370
... and it all depends on the Princess's answer.
174
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:31,200
In my opinion, Ryuko should have...
175
00:16:31,570 --> 00:16:36,370
... the right to make such a decision.
176
00:16:40,950 --> 00:16:42,170
Please.
177
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:03,400
I thought he was wonderful
a young man.
178
00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:09,350
It is soft like a spring breeze.
179
00:17:10,070 --> 00:17:17,000
Not too talkative
but will not lose face.
180
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,849
I asked his fellow practitioners...
181
00:17:21,850 --> 00:17:26,970
...he has an excellent reputation.
I felt it too when we met.
182
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:33,000
He was one of the best in the group
so he's smart.
183
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,050
And also very fair
in relation to the lower ranks.
184
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:44,020
It doesn't matter that he's not Japanese.
185
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:50,400
I sincerely believe that you
you couldn't find a better match, Ryuko-san.
186
00:17:51,550 --> 00:17:54,000
You don't have to stand on ceremony.
187
00:17:54,250 --> 00:17:56,619
You can decline the offer.
188
00:17:56,620 --> 00:18:01,500
Ryuko-san, don't worry about politics.
189
00:18:02,570 --> 00:18:08,050
Ask your heart
do you want to become his bride.
190
00:18:14,750 --> 00:18:18,220
I yield to your persuasion.
191
00:18:23,550 --> 00:18:27,450
MANCHURIAN'S ENGAGEMENT
PRINCE FUTETSU AND PRINCESS RYUKO
192
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,800
THE ARMY APPOINTED THE HIGHEST
WEDDING ON APRIL 3
193
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,020
Please accept my congratulations.
194
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,070
Her Majesty is waiting for you.
195
00:19:19,420 --> 00:19:20,800
Please.
196
00:20:32,220 --> 00:20:35,050
Ryuko Sugawara has arrived.
197
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,350
It is a great honor for me, Your Majesty.
198
00:20:57,820 --> 00:21:04,270
I wish you long health, Your Majesty.
199
00:21:05,020 --> 00:21:06,270
Come in.
200
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,870
Come closer.
201
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,570
Sit down.
202
00:21:48,550 --> 00:21:52,270
Congratulations. You are very beautiful.
203
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,550
It's not often that I have to
see such girlish dresses.
204
00:21:59,350 --> 00:22:04,120
This largely determined this invitation.
205
00:22:04,820 --> 00:22:08,520
- Is your hairstyle too heavy?
- No.
206
00:22:09,050 --> 00:22:14,670
- Is everyone in the Sugawara family healthy?
- Yes.
207
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,600
Everyone is very glad that you blessed us.
208
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,750
How many years have passed?
209
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,900
The Marquis brought you to me...
210
00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:31,750
...when you were
a very little girl.
211
00:22:32,770 --> 00:22:36,650
You were running around the palace...
212
00:22:37,470 --> 00:22:41,500
... and then fell and cried.
213
00:22:41,850 --> 00:22:47,600
We raised you, but you
she still continued to cry.
214
00:22:48,650 --> 00:22:52,700
Were you with your father then?
215
00:22:52,900 --> 00:23:00,127
When I found out
that you are going to Manchuria...
216
00:23:00,152 --> 00:23:03,344
... I was very happy.
217
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,700
Devotional Service
To the Emperor of Manchuria...
218
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:12,150
... it's the same as
serve our Emperor.
219
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,470
Don't be tormented by homesickness.
220
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:20,070
Show it to foreigners
virtue of Japanese girls.
221
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:23,650
As you ordered, Your Majesty...
222
00:23:24,650 --> 00:23:29,970
...I will try my best.
223
00:23:37,570 --> 00:23:41,020
I received this as a gift...
224
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,950
...from Emperor Meiji's late mother.
225
00:23:47,070 --> 00:23:54,320
I think it would be logical
if it goes to you.
226
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,670
If you get lonely
in distant Manchuria...
227
00:24:01,450 --> 00:24:06,450
... remember us, and let
this gift will give you strength.
228
00:24:08,450 --> 00:24:09,750
Come here.
229
00:24:19,150 --> 00:24:22,510
These are the seeds of the Hakuun tree.
230
00:24:22,510 --> 00:24:27,744
I collected them myself for you.
231
00:24:28,170 --> 00:24:31,600
Plant them on your new land.
232
00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:42,750
A gift from the Emperor.
233
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,620
I have been instructed to deliver it.
234
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,150
What a beauty.
235
00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:11,250
Lovely dress.
236
00:25:11,650 --> 00:25:14,050
Is it Chinese?
237
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,570
According to Chinese customs, a young wife
in the first year she wears a red dress.
238
00:25:44,650 --> 00:25:48,170
WEDDING INVITATION
239
00:25:49,350 --> 00:25:52,149
THE EMPEROR SAYS CONGRATULATIONS
SPEECH AT THE HIGHEST WEDDING
240
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:54,450
A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE LEAVES
ON YOUR HONEYMOON TO MANCHURI
241
00:26:59,070 --> 00:27:00,920
Your Majesty, your brother has arrived.
242
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,500
Take good care of your marriage.
243
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:52,220
Thank you, Your Majesty.
244
00:28:24,420 --> 00:28:25,820
Thank you.
245
00:28:54,450 --> 00:28:56,720
Thank you very much.
246
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,320
Izumi-san, they finally
installed the phone.
247
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,770
Such joy.
248
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,900
Very good.
249
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:10,600
However, this is not enough.
250
00:29:15,770 --> 00:29:22,500
They said they would have a great one
residence, but it looks like a barracks!
251
00:29:23,250 --> 00:29:26,100
This is no place for a Princess.
252
00:29:27,050 --> 00:29:31,170
The house is not completed, and there is not even a car.
253
00:29:31,650 --> 00:29:35,250
No amenities.
254
00:29:38,270 --> 00:29:44,850
The Prime Minister asked
provide the army with a car.
255
00:29:45,420 --> 00:29:51,850
And they told him that he was simple
Manchurian junior lieutenant.
256
00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:55,170
He's the Emperor's brother!
257
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:58,120
They must take into account his rank.
258
00:29:58,420 --> 00:30:01,600
I heard
that according to the Manchu Constitution...
259
00:30:01,870 --> 00:30:08,420
...no one except the Emperor
does not enjoy privileges.
260
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,850
- Is it true?
- Yes.
261
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:17,600
But she doesn't complain about anything.
Poor thing.
262
00:30:26,250 --> 00:30:27,250
Sign in.
263
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:32,320
- It's time to leave, Your Highness.
- Fine.
264
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Where's Ryuko?
265
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,650
She's in the living room.
266
00:31:00,950 --> 00:31:03,270
We connected the phone.
Go take a look.
267
00:31:04,270 --> 00:31:05,700
Let's call someone.
268
00:31:08,750 --> 00:31:10,300
What's the matter? Are you healthy?
269
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,750
Last night...
270
00:31:13,420 --> 00:31:16,420
... I heard the noise of a distant train.
271
00:31:17,270 --> 00:31:19,700
During the day, not a single sound is heard.
272
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,719
Ringing silence.
273
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,720
Do you miss home?
274
00:31:29,870 --> 00:31:30,870
Come here.
275
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,120
When summer comes...
276
00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:37,370
...we'll see how here
wild rabbits are frolicking.
277
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,000
There used to be a Mongolian farm here.
278
00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:58,650
This is where we will build a new capital.
279
00:31:59,870 --> 00:32:02,500
There will be a palace right there.
280
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,950
As much as 250 square kilometers.
281
00:32:06,670 --> 00:32:08,570
Soon it will be filled with people.
282
00:32:08,900 --> 00:32:12,600
And the palace will be right across the road.
283
00:32:16,020 --> 00:32:19,720
I was glad to spend time in Japan.
284
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,020
If I had not graduated from the Academy,
I would still be living here.
285
00:32:26,970 --> 00:32:32,070
I shouldn't say this.
You will miss home even more.
286
00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:36,620
I can't stand it if you leave.
287
00:32:37,270 --> 00:32:41,200
I will never leave you.
288
00:32:44,370 --> 00:32:45,820
Thank you.
289
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:57,099
Let's buy land next door
and plant apricot trees.
290
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:59,300
- Do you know how they bloom?
- No.
291
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,170
Almost like sakura.
292
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,119
Of course, not so refined.
293
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,120
More like a plum.
294
00:33:06,670 --> 00:33:09,970
There is a whole grove of apricots in Beijing.
295
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:13,819
In spring it blooms
soft pink color.
296
00:33:13,820 --> 00:33:16,000
Over there we will plant apricots.
297
00:33:25,170 --> 00:33:31,270
Why are the Japanese trying to sow
quarrel between me and my brother?
298
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,520
You are exaggerating, Your Majesty.
299
00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:43,170
Is it because his wife is Japanese?
300
00:33:47,050 --> 00:33:51,420
Forget that you are the Prime Minister.
301
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,270
Tell me what you think.
302
00:33:58,350 --> 00:34:04,350
My opinion doesn't matter.
303
00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:08,520
After all, China and Manchuria are one whole.
304
00:34:08,700 --> 00:34:12,850
And we are Chinese.
305
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:17,570
We shouldn't be interested...
306
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,470
...what the Japanese army dictates to us.
307
00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:28,220
I'm just
Prime Minister of Manchuria.
308
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:35,500
And I am the Emperor of Manchuria.
309
00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:30,070
Wonderful smell.
310
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,420
Ryuko...
311
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,150
...have they already sprouted?
312
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:43,750
I heard that Her Majesty personally...
313
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,620
... collected the seeds,
to plant them here.
314
00:35:49,870 --> 00:35:53,120
Grandma wrote to me...
315
00:35:53,570 --> 00:35:56,850
...that she's still tending to the shoots.
316
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,170
Let him send them as soon as they sprout.
317
00:36:00,350 --> 00:36:02,820
We will look after them
like our Eisei.
318
00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:09,220
Hakuun tree flowers
look like white clouds.
319
00:36:40,570 --> 00:36:42,550
Is Eisei awake?
320
00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:46,549
This is dad. Say "dad".
321
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:50,070
It's too early for her to tell.
322
00:36:50,870 --> 00:36:52,549
Stupid daddy.
323
00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:54,720
Do you see, Eisei?
324
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,370
Apricots are so beautiful.
Just wait until next year!
325
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:05,100
Ryuko.
326
00:37:18,050 --> 00:37:22,620
The Emperor wants to see her himself.
He was tired of looking at photographs.
327
00:37:22,850 --> 00:37:25,020
You must take her to the palace.
328
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,850
Why do you say that?
Don't you want to go?
329
00:37:29,170 --> 00:37:33,570
From our first meeting...
330
00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:36,849
...he treats me like a stranger.
331
00:37:36,850 --> 00:37:40,320
It's because he's shy.
332
00:37:40,670 --> 00:37:43,350
He had a hard life since childhood.
333
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:46,700
Give it to me.
334
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,870
Princess.
335
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:56,250
Princess.
336
00:37:59,050 --> 00:38:03,220
This month we are short of money again.
337
00:38:04,270 --> 00:38:07,970
I asked him to cut costs.
338
00:38:08,650 --> 00:38:10,850
He agreed, but then...
339
00:38:11,220 --> 00:38:14,570
...he gives so much away to people.
340
00:38:14,820 --> 00:38:19,750
He has no idea about money.
341
00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:23,419
But you are the same.
342
00:38:23,420 --> 00:38:25,249
I'm a woman!
343
00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:28,250
This is the lot of all women.
344
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,099
Since Furuya-san
got a promotion...
345
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,350
...he does everything to stop us.
346
00:38:33,370 --> 00:38:36,600
He never comes to our house anymore.
347
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:12,770
Is this yours? She's so sweet.
348
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:16,650
She's so Manchurian
girl like you.
349
00:39:17,420 --> 00:39:20,100
No, you are Japanese.
350
00:39:20,270 --> 00:39:23,200
You talk funny.
351
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,770
Yes, I'm Japanese.
352
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,550
But my husband is from Manchuria,
that means me too.
353
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:33,270
And this is true...
354
00:39:33,350 --> 00:39:37,770
...that our Emperor
brother of the Emperor of Japan?
355
00:39:38,070 --> 00:39:39,370
Not at all.
356
00:39:39,950 --> 00:39:42,600
He was the Emperor of China.
357
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,850
But the Qing Dynasty was overthrown...
358
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:53,370
...and he became Emperor of Manchuria.
359
00:39:54,170 --> 00:39:58,050
He doesn't speak a word of Japanese.
360
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,820
How do you know this?
361
00:40:01,250 --> 00:40:06,400
He is my daughter's uncle.
362
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
- Is it true?
- Honestly.
363
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:12,200
The Japanese killed two Manchus last night.
364
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:14,320
You need to be careful.
365
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:21,820
My father gets really angry when the Japanese eat
in our restaurant, and they don't pay for the food.
366
00:41:57,170 --> 00:42:00,750
- Ah, Pu Jie.
- Long reign to you.
367
00:42:01,250 --> 00:42:03,650
Why these formalities?
368
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:08,400
I haven't seen you for a long time.
369
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,450
Sit down.
370
00:42:16,450 --> 00:42:21,050
Your Majesty, you know
that I was away for a year.
371
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,620
Eisei has already started speaking.
372
00:42:27,820 --> 00:42:32,220
Already talking?
373
00:42:32,850 --> 00:42:38,350
Looks like you're crazy about this girl.
374
00:42:39,150 --> 00:42:41,720
Are you jealous of my daughter?
375
00:42:43,450 --> 00:42:49,100
I can't imagine what it means to be a father.
376
00:42:49,570 --> 00:42:54,420
If you wish, Your Majesty...
377
00:42:54,620 --> 00:42:57,370
...I will bring them both here sometimes.
378
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,770
You don't come because you
The Military Police doesn't allow it?
379
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:08,100
I'm not afraid of the Military Police.
380
00:43:09,950 --> 00:43:13,620
The Japanese Police have no right...
381
00:43:13,970 --> 00:43:16,750
... interfere with the brothers' communication.
382
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,050
Why don't you complain about them...
383
00:43:21,350 --> 00:43:25,220
...to the Japanese military?
384
00:43:26,950 --> 00:43:31,820
Pu Jie, your wife is Japanese.
385
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,100
You have a different relationship with them.
386
00:43:48,050 --> 00:43:53,969
IN 1941, JAPAN CAUGHT
STRIKE ON PEARL HARBOR
387
00:43:53,970 --> 00:44:06,500
BROTHER OF THE JAPANESE EMPEROR
VISITED MANCHURI
388
00:44:15,070 --> 00:44:16,270
What are you doing here?
389
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,950
You must stand with the lower ranks!
390
00:44:34,420 --> 00:44:37,970
On guard!
391
00:45:18,850 --> 00:45:25,050
Our mother always thinks
about you with warmth.
392
00:45:25,550 --> 00:45:30,050
You, like a bridge, connect our two Empires.
393
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,119
Mommy!
394
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,450
Yes, honey.
395
00:46:12,050 --> 00:46:14,450
What are you doing?
396
00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:17,950
I'm drawing.
397
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,120
Look how beautiful it is.
398
00:46:22,170 --> 00:46:24,119
Yes.
399
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,950
When I paint,
I'm happier than ever.
400
00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:32,750
This way I can forget about being alone.
401
00:46:33,050 --> 00:46:35,570
Why are you lonely?
402
00:46:35,870 --> 00:46:38,050
You have me.
403
00:46:38,150 --> 00:46:40,850
Now I'm no longer alone.
404
00:46:45,670 --> 00:46:50,120
Show me how you dance "sakura-sakura".
405
00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:52,120
One, two...
406
00:47:05,135 --> 00:47:06,135
Spin around.
407
00:48:10,750 --> 00:48:13,120
Do you know what we are celebrating?
408
00:48:13,500 --> 00:48:15,550
Memorial Day.
409
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,650
We have so many holidays.
410
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:19,350
I know a lot of people.
411
00:48:20,270 --> 00:48:23,970
Millennium Day,
New and Old New Year...
412
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:27,019
...the day of the Empress Dowager,
Feast of the Fifth Month...
413
00:48:27,020 --> 00:48:29,250
You are well informed.
414
00:49:12,050 --> 00:49:14,120
Well done.
415
00:49:14,470 --> 00:49:16,100
Thank you, Your Majesty.
416
00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:21,120
What a smart girl.
417
00:49:21,450 --> 00:49:24,700
Flattering praise, Your Majesty.
418
00:49:25,350 --> 00:49:27,320
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
419
00:49:34,070 --> 00:49:37,420
For a long time I thought you were a spy...
420
00:49:39,550 --> 00:49:43,900
...who wants to overthrow me.
421
00:49:46,150 --> 00:49:51,670
A weapon in the hands of the Kwantung Army.
422
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:54,650
Am I a spy for the Kwantung Army?
423
00:49:56,970 --> 00:50:00,620
I can't trust anyone.
424
00:50:00,970 --> 00:50:04,220
Are there spies here?
425
00:50:04,670 --> 00:50:06,000
Unfortunately.
426
00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:09,200
Especially today...
427
00:50:09,770 --> 00:50:11,570
... when the whole clan is assembled.
428
00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:18,370
I'm very glad you told me this.
429
00:50:18,820 --> 00:50:21,570
I'm a Chinese wife...
430
00:50:21,850 --> 00:50:26,270
... my heart and soul belongs to the Chinese.
431
00:50:27,020 --> 00:50:29,749
I also see your suffering.
432
00:50:29,750 --> 00:50:32,220
Pu Jie never told me about this.
433
00:50:32,620 --> 00:50:38,670
I was wrong towards you, I'm sorry.
434
00:50:43,070 --> 00:50:46,900
Let me know if you need money.
435
00:50:50,470 --> 00:50:54,320
You have a daughter.
436
00:50:55,420 --> 00:51:00,870
Unfortunately, the Empress is barren.
437
00:51:01,270 --> 00:51:04,350
You saw how she behaved at the banquet.
438
00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:11,700
The Empress is very beautiful.
439
00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:22,920
Beautiful doll.
440
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:32,070
There are rumors of an imminent American invasion.
441
00:51:33,850 --> 00:51:36,720
Panic is everywhere, schools are closed.
442
00:51:38,250 --> 00:51:42,100
They say that the Emperor
hiding in the mountains...
443
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,000
...ready to fight
to the last drop of blood.
444
00:51:49,450 --> 00:51:54,470
The army requisitioned
all glass bottles...
445
00:51:55,170 --> 00:52:02,670
... for making incendiary
bombs against enemy landings.
446
00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:07,670
There are not enough weapons.
447
00:52:09,070 --> 00:52:11,000
No food.
448
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:17,200
Perhaps this is the last letter.
449
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:25,350
I pray that it arrives.
450
00:52:28,070 --> 00:52:33,950
Sorry, I didn't notice you came.
451
00:52:34,650 --> 00:52:39,370
Mom writes about
that the situation in Japan is difficult.
452
00:52:40,020 --> 00:52:41,369
What are you doing?
453
00:52:41,370 --> 00:52:46,450
The Emperor sacrificed
armies their treasures.
454
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:48,920
I must do the same.
455
00:52:49,220 --> 00:52:52,500
This is what I received from the Empress...
456
00:52:52,950 --> 00:52:58,120
...and from my family.
It's hard for me to part with this.
457
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,120
But the country needs them.
458
00:53:00,470 --> 00:53:03,020
Japan and Manchuria together.
459
00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:07,100
Manchuria must do its best.
460
00:53:10,850 --> 00:53:16,050
Even my position is precarious.
461
00:53:17,370 --> 00:53:19,400
The army allows itself too much.
462
00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:22,850
They interfere in family affairs.
463
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,570
They forbade me to venerate my father's ashes.
464
00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:37,170
The brother was able to insist on his own.
465
00:53:39,450 --> 00:53:44,920
They tried to interfere
him to bow to his ancestors.
466
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:49,320
They don't respect our religion
nor our customs.
467
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,800
Be patient, dear.
468
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,600
They say that perseverance leads to victory.
469
00:54:01,220 --> 00:54:06,100
Police arrested the minister
for what he said...
470
00:54:06,700 --> 00:54:12,850
... that if the Japanese win,
we will be under their complete control.
471
00:54:14,220 --> 00:54:18,320
They almost killed him.
It is not surprising that many are fleeing to Beijing.
472
00:54:20,900 --> 00:54:22,820
They're stealing our coal...
473
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:30,150
...at a time when people are freezing.
474
00:54:41,220 --> 00:54:46,570
Yes, last winter it was hard for us too.
475
00:54:46,970 --> 00:54:49,050
Because I'm not Japanese.
476
00:54:58,450 --> 00:55:04,700
How can I help?
Tell me what can I do?
477
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,570
Everything I hear makes me very sad.
478
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:15,370
I can't do anything.
479
00:55:21,250 --> 00:55:24,720
I didn't mean to upset you.
Sorry.
480
00:55:25,750 --> 00:55:28,050
There are also good Japanese people.
481
00:55:29,050 --> 00:55:32,020
Many have arrived
to build Manchuria...
482
00:55:32,370 --> 00:55:36,150
... but they left in hatred.
483
00:55:37,370 --> 00:55:43,400
I heard that the Japanese
suffer from a deficiency.
484
00:55:44,650 --> 00:55:52,500
Don't talk about Japan
This makes me desperate.
485
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,120
Yes.
486
00:56:01,850 --> 00:56:04,500
Dad! Dad!
487
00:56:05,170 --> 00:56:09,370
Let's go play.
488
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:17,050
Dad is busy. Play with mommy.
489
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:18,800
Mommy!
490
00:56:19,020 --> 00:56:20,870
- Mommy!
- Yes, my love.
491
00:56:20,970 --> 00:56:22,499
Let's play with Lily.
492
00:56:22,500 --> 00:56:24,300
Lily-chan! Lily-chan!
493
00:56:25,170 --> 00:56:26,770
Lily-chan! Lily-chan!
494
00:56:27,220 --> 00:56:30,400
Lily-chan, good girl.
495
00:56:31,020 --> 00:56:33,820
Let's go to the basement.
496
00:56:44,250 --> 00:56:48,020
Tokyo, July 20th set
bombers...
497
00:56:48,420 --> 00:56:51,220
... made multiple attacks on Tokyo.
498
00:56:51,850 --> 00:56:54,720
In total, up to 800 aircraft were counted.
499
00:57:05,470 --> 00:57:13,800
The golden sun is slowly setting in the west.
500
00:57:14,820 --> 00:57:23,120
The bell is ringing in the ancient mountain temple.
501
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:31,720
Let's hold hands and run home.
502
00:57:32,170 --> 00:57:39,800
How crows return to the nest.
503
00:57:39,950 --> 00:57:40,950
Mommy!
504
00:57:41,870 --> 00:57:43,820
Are you still awake?
505
00:57:44,870 --> 00:57:47,650
I already wished you good night.
506
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:51,499
Dad woke me up!
507
00:57:51,500 --> 00:57:53,950
Is it true? What a bad dad.
508
00:57:55,250 --> 00:57:58,669
She had a terrible dream.
509
00:57:58,670 --> 00:58:01,377
Not true! I'm not afraid of anything!
510
00:58:01,402 --> 00:58:05,944
When mom and dad are nearby
I'm not afraid of anything.
511
00:58:16,420 --> 00:58:20,200
I'm so happy with you and Ei-chan.
512
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,070
I'm a messenger from Army Headquarters.
513
00:58:49,470 --> 00:58:51,649
The palace was not damaged last night.
514
00:58:51,650 --> 00:58:53,850
The Emperor is safe.
515
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,150
Thank you very much.
516
00:59:10,220 --> 00:59:11,950
The Soviet Union declared war.
517
00:59:12,370 --> 00:59:14,670
I just came from a meeting
Cabinet of Ministers.
518
00:59:15,150 --> 00:59:18,170
The Emperor moves the capital.
519
00:59:18,550 --> 00:59:19,720
The entire government?
520
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,850
They understand perfectly well that by doing so...
521
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,300
... undermine people's faith in the government.
522
00:59:28,020 --> 00:59:32,500
The capital is in a vulnerable position.
523
00:59:33,470 --> 00:59:35,870
The Japanese army insists...
524
00:59:36,050 --> 00:59:40,270
... that they will be able to defend the new capital.
525
00:59:41,370 --> 00:59:42,670
I understood.
526
00:59:43,050 --> 00:59:47,720
The consul's wife has already warned
me on the phone.
527
00:59:48,270 --> 00:59:49,720
Consul?
528
00:59:50,620 --> 00:59:54,200
He was at the General Staff today.
529
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:59,050
She's the only one left
there is a Japanese woman here.
530
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,850
She asked me to be with her
flew to Tokyo.
531
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:08,600
And you?
532
01:00:09,420 --> 01:00:10,470
I?
533
01:00:11,650 --> 01:00:12,650
Are you coming back?
534
01:00:15,100 --> 01:00:16,320
Where?
535
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,100
My family is here.
536
01:00:31,420 --> 01:00:36,020
I can only return to you.
537
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:49,150
AUGUST 1945, JAPANESE
THE ARMY REVIDES TO THE SOUTH
538
01:00:49,450 --> 01:00:52,650
I see you are not ready to evacuate.
539
01:00:53,220 --> 01:00:57,450
But the Russians had already broken through the border.
540
01:00:58,450 --> 01:01:00,850
They could be here tomorrow.
541
01:01:01,750 --> 01:01:05,570
The army went to the mountains
to give the last stand.
542
01:01:06,620 --> 01:01:09,470
But they won't last even two months.
543
01:01:09,670 --> 01:01:11,470
Two months?
544
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,170
You said
that you have a million-strong army...
545
01:01:14,420 --> 01:01:18,200
... which can last 5-10 years!
546
01:01:18,850 --> 01:01:21,250
I'm not privy to the details.
547
01:01:22,150 --> 01:01:26,200
We had an agreement with the Russians.
548
01:01:26,870 --> 01:01:30,000
Their attack took us by surprise.
549
01:01:30,750 --> 01:01:33,900
The main troops were transferred to the south.
550
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:39,120
Only 300 thousand remained in Manchuria.
551
01:01:39,250 --> 01:01:40,400
Expensive.
552
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,750
Ryuko, go with the Emperor.
553
01:01:45,650 --> 01:01:48,100
I will fight here to the last.
554
01:01:48,550 --> 01:01:50,650
Your committee has no powers.
555
01:01:51,700 --> 01:01:53,620
The order arrived today.
556
01:01:53,950 --> 01:01:57,050
It's your job!
557
01:01:57,750 --> 01:02:01,900
I will not betray my people like you!
558
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:07,320
It's not me, it's a direct order from the Emperor.
559
01:02:09,620 --> 01:02:15,250
I will serve him to the last.
560
01:02:44,950 --> 01:02:46,950
Giving your life is not difficult.
561
01:02:47,250 --> 01:02:49,570
But you can’t abandon your Emperor!
562
01:02:52,350 --> 01:02:54,470
He needs you.
563
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,670
You are the only one who can protect him.
564
01:03:00,020 --> 01:03:03,020
Evacuation is not betrayal!
565
01:03:20,050 --> 01:03:21,400
Empress!
566
01:04:24,700 --> 01:04:27,450
Sorry.
567
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:33,300
We ourselves do not know what fate awaits us.
568
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:38,819
AUGUST 1945, CAPITAL
MOVED TO DALITZI
569
01:05:38,820 --> 01:05:42,620
IMPERIAL COURTYARD
570
01:05:44,050 --> 01:05:47,350
... we finished the broadcast
addresses of the Emperor
571
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:54,070
Let his words live
in 100 million hearts.
572
01:05:55,450 --> 01:06:00,620
He said this to ease the suffering...
573
01:06:01,020 --> 01:06:04,100
... and bring peace of mind
in the souls of loyal subjects.
574
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:54,050
This is the only way
which we still have.
575
01:06:56,150 --> 01:07:01,800
I know how much you grieve for me and for the country.
576
01:07:03,850 --> 01:07:06,770
But I have no other choice.
577
01:07:08,770 --> 01:07:12,820
Our Empire has passed
through difficult trials...
578
01:07:14,050 --> 01:07:19,420
... in 13 years and 5 months
of its existence.
579
01:07:20,570 --> 01:07:24,300
And now it's over.
580
01:07:25,420 --> 01:07:28,920
I renounce.
581
01:07:31,070 --> 01:07:34,270
I release the Prime Minister
and government members...
582
01:07:35,250 --> 01:07:38,820
...from their obligations.
583
01:07:51,620 --> 01:07:59,570
Together we can overcome this pain.
584
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,050
The Japanese Emperor survived the worst.
585
01:08:29,300 --> 01:08:34,870
You were by my side through all my trials.
586
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,200
And you, dear.
587
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,850
Now we can live peacefully in Tokyo.
588
01:08:59,050 --> 01:09:03,600
It's hard for me to ask you this.
589
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,100
Could you take care of the Empress?
590
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:14,120
I will protect her with my life.
591
01:09:14,950 --> 01:09:15,950
Thank you.
592
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,100
Take care of yourself, Your Majesty.
593
01:09:39,220 --> 01:09:41,500
Be a good girl.
594
01:09:44,650 --> 01:09:48,950
Goodbye, Dad. Goodbye.
595
01:09:53,900 --> 01:09:57,700
After the Emperor's abdication...
596
01:09:58,620 --> 01:10:01,970
... the rest of the retinue
fled to the mountains...
597
01:10:02,300 --> 01:10:05,500
... to hide from partisan detachments.
598
01:10:06,700 --> 01:10:10,420
We were eagerly awaiting the order...
599
01:10:11,020 --> 01:10:14,820
... fly to you by plane.
600
01:10:15,770 --> 01:10:19,200
But then we found out
that the Emperor's plane...
601
01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:22,820
... was captured by Soviet troops.
602
01:10:24,070 --> 01:10:31,150
The Empress fell ill,
and we were all at a loss.
603
01:10:32,570 --> 01:10:37,550
Remember how Eisei shouted goodbye to you?
604
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:46,270
I never thought
that we say goodbye forever.
605
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:14,970
Where are the Japanese here?!
606
01:11:15,220 --> 01:11:16,220
Get the Japanese!
607
01:17:48,570 --> 01:17:51,270
It was the New Year Holiday.
608
01:17:51,970 --> 01:17:56,470
People were having fun everywhere.
609
01:17:57,150 --> 01:18:00,050
But we were under house arrest.
610
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,200
Under strict surveillance, and in despair.
611
01:18:15,457 --> 01:18:16,457
Mommy!
612
01:19:12,070 --> 01:19:15,070
Get up!
613
01:19:40,750 --> 01:19:42,070
Who is this?
614
01:19:42,470 --> 01:19:44,070
It's mom!
615
01:19:45,550 --> 01:19:47,050
It's dad!
616
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,150
It's me!
617
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:08,470
This is mine.
618
01:20:09,450 --> 01:20:11,700
- Take it.
- Thank you.
619
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:23,400
The shots that night were the beginning of a nightmare.
620
01:22:02,270 --> 01:22:04,050
- Who are you?
- Japanese army.
621
01:22:04,170 --> 01:22:06,250
The Empress is here.
622
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:07,920
We have come to save you.
623
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:56,631
PAECTUSAN
624
01:23:57,947 --> 01:23:58,947
ANTU
625
01:24:03,141 --> 01:24:04,141
YANJI
626
01:26:13,170 --> 01:26:15,770
Help! Help!
627
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:37,450
Guard. Guard.
628
01:26:39,020 --> 01:26:40,050
Guard.
629
01:26:42,300 --> 01:26:46,320
Let me go to the Empress.
630
01:26:46,650 --> 01:26:51,800
I can calm her down.
631
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:56,150
Her screams annoy everyone.
632
01:27:36,100 --> 01:27:37,550
Please pull yourself together.
633
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,120
Help! Help me!
634
01:27:59,250 --> 01:28:02,900
She needs opium.
635
01:28:03,220 --> 01:28:06,770
I'll give everything I have.
636
01:28:07,020 --> 01:28:09,070
Tell your boss.
637
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,500
She will die without him.
638
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,150
You must let us go.
639
01:28:19,500 --> 01:28:22,500
Why were we arrested again?
640
01:28:23,300 --> 01:28:26,500
At least buy some medicine.
641
01:28:29,550 --> 01:28:32,900
Bring me my jewelry!
642
01:28:52,100 --> 01:28:54,300
Can't you see that she is sick?
643
01:28:54,770 --> 01:28:58,900
The bath isn't ready yet?!
644
01:28:59,750 --> 01:29:01,720
Bring my brocade outfit!
645
01:29:21,570 --> 01:29:22,920
Here you go, eat.
646
01:29:23,270 --> 01:29:24,900
Thank you.
647
01:29:29,700 --> 01:29:32,120
Get ready to leave.
648
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:35,770
Take the essentials with you.
649
01:29:53,350 --> 01:29:55,020
What's wrong with the Empress?
650
01:29:55,220 --> 01:29:57,570
If she stays, I'll stay too.
651
01:29:57,620 --> 01:29:59,670
Don't worry about the Empress.
652
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:32,600
Your Highness!
653
01:30:33,820 --> 01:30:35,020
Your Highness!
654
01:30:35,620 --> 01:30:37,020
Stop it!
655
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,420
Let me stay with her.
656
01:30:39,550 --> 01:30:40,870
No, go there.
657
01:30:41,150 --> 01:30:43,120
But she's sick.
658
01:30:43,550 --> 01:30:45,700
Forget the Empress.
659
01:30:49,550 --> 01:30:52,600
Go there, to everyone else.
660
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:56,250
Your Highness!
661
01:30:58,120 --> 01:30:59,420
Your Highness!
662
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:39,350
The Red Army took us with them,
when she went north.
663
01:31:40,020 --> 01:31:46,100
Then suddenly in a small
they let us go to the village.
664
01:31:47,170 --> 01:31:52,761
Penniless, exhausted,
exhausted by dysentery...
665
01:31:52,786 --> 01:31:58,474
... we walked Harbin, Beijing,
Shanghai, almost all of China.
666
01:31:58,770 --> 01:32:01,569
In a year and 5 months
after separating from my husband...
667
01:32:01,570 --> 01:32:04,770
... we finally made it to Japan.
668
01:32:22,850 --> 01:32:26,700
Look! There's land there!
This is Japan!
669
01:32:27,170 --> 01:32:30,000
I see land!
670
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:32,820
Is it true! In fact!
671
01:32:33,070 --> 01:32:34,600
Thank the gods!
672
01:32:35,770 --> 01:32:37,600
Do you see?
673
01:32:40,950 --> 01:32:41,950
Hey-chan.
674
01:32:43,700 --> 01:32:45,150
Wake up.
675
01:32:47,550 --> 01:32:49,300
Hey-chan.
676
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:09,270
Despite the hardships experienced,
Eisei grew up healthy.
677
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,720
Grandmother died.
678
01:33:14,670 --> 01:33:17,400
Our residence survived.
679
01:33:17,700 --> 01:33:23,000
Father and mother spoiled us as best they could.
680
01:33:24,440 --> 01:33:32,148
There is a scent in the garden.
681
01:33:32,173 --> 01:33:39,544
The violets have bloomed.
682
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:51,800
Small fragrant flowers.
683
01:33:51,920 --> 01:34:02,600
Where did they hide?
684
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:14,040
They are so cute.
685
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,720
Eisei quickly learned the language.
686
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:23,960
She studies hard
and it becomes more beautiful year by year.
687
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:31,000
We are no longer tormented by memories
about prisons and hardships.
688
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:35,360
But where are you now?
689
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,240
Were you able to survive?
690
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:45,000
Every refugee you meet
I'm asking if he knows about you.
691
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:48,040
But no one knows anything.
692
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:58,400
Eisei dared to write
about you Zhou Enlaiyu.
693
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:43,760
Thank God you're alive!
Both you and the Emperor!
694
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:51,880
I heard that you are in prison.
695
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:59,600
One thought haunts me.
696
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:04,920
Why are Japan and China always at war?
697
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:07,640
I don’t understand anything about politics.
698
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:15,600
But I have no doubt that our
nations can live in peace.
699
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:22,720
Maybe we can become small
a bridge between our countries?
700
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:28,320
I'm ready to devote to this
for the rest of my life.
701
01:36:30,440 --> 01:36:34,400
I was going to raise
Eisei as a Japanese woman
702
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,560
But China slowly seeped into it.
703
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:48,759
She is interested in Chinese
history and culture
704
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:52,480
I tried to help her look
to the world with a Chinese heart...
705
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:56,360
... so that such a war
never happened again.
706
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:00,880
But I was careless.
707
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:05,160
I made a tragic mistake.
708
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,680
Eisei died.
709
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:14,800
It doesn't matter for what reason
reason she committed suicide.
710
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:21,120
It’s my fault that I didn’t notice her pain.
711
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:31,861
There is a scent in the garden.
712
01:37:33,437 --> 01:37:41,926
The violets have bloomed.
713
01:37:52,497 --> 01:38:08,123
Small fragrant flowers.
714
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:28,313
Where did they hide?
715
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:39,560
They are so cute.
716
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:46,720
Eisei was the last of the Qing Dynasty.
717
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:53,720
This weight burdened her young soul.
718
01:38:54,680 --> 01:39:00,360
I think she was just looking for peace.
719
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:06,400
We went through a lot together with her.
720
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:11,920
How could I, mother, not
feel what is in her soul?
721
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:19,520
The seeds we planted
grew up with her.
722
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:24,160
Now the trees have grown and blossomed.
723
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:28,360
But Eisei is no more.
724
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:32,160
Forgive me, dear.
725
01:39:40,480 --> 01:39:49,840
Have pity on the one who is from the tender
spring fell into a lifeless winter.
726
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:54,520
Don't blame yourself.
727
01:39:55,400 --> 01:40:00,520
Her death is a grief that
we must divide by two.
728
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,360
It's not your fault.
729
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:10,640
Perhaps this is because
that I wasn't there.
730
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:15,240
My greatest suffering is...
731
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:21,000
... that I cannot hug and comfort you.
732
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:28,360
There are high mountains and an endless sea between us.
733
01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:32,040
But I hope...
734
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,360
...that one day we will be together again.
735
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:39,960
And I'm sure...
736
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:47,040
... that you will become a small bridge
between our countries.
737
01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:52,120
Every spring gives way to winter.
738
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:55,920
Even in the harshest winter
there will be warmth.
739
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:03,599
Pick a flower for Eisei,
dry it and send it to me.
740
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:05,520
I will keep it.
741
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:19,600
We will not be able to live as a family as before...
742
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:26,720
... but I believe that one day we will be together...
743
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:30,960
... as Eisei wished for us.
744
01:41:37,857 --> 01:41:41,056
FLOWERING TREE HAKUUN
745
01:41:55,760 --> 01:42:00,760
THE END
746
01:42:00,862 --> 01:42:10,794
