1
00:00:11,392 --> 00:00:13,867
Here I am again.
2
00:00:14,271 --> 00:00:17,273
It is now 1612,
3
00:00:17,502 --> 00:00:19,914
and our story is nearing a climax.
4
00:00:20,282 --> 00:00:23,776
What is happening in
other parts of the world?
5
00:00:26,365 --> 00:00:31,377
Spain took the lead in the era
of Great Voyages (16th century),
6
00:00:31,659 --> 00:00:33,805
but quickly weakened
in the 17th century.
7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,645
Markedly growing in strength
were Holland and England.
8
00:00:37,972 --> 00:00:41,410
They struggled furiously
for control of world trade.
9
00:00:43,943 --> 00:00:47,871
In the East, Holland
made the first inroads...
10
00:00:48,129 --> 00:00:50,551
in the East Indies and SE Asia,
11
00:00:50,912 --> 00:00:52,816
and cornered the spice market!
12
00:00:53,272 --> 00:00:55,817
Slower to act,
England focused on India.
13
00:00:56,165 --> 00:00:59,350
East India companies were established,
14
00:00:59,622 --> 00:01:02,632
and cutthroat competition
in colonization and trade began.
15
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:09,262
What's that?
16
00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:13,309
Shakespeare's Hamlet
was performed in England.
17
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:17,063
Onward! Onward!
18
00:01:17,299 --> 00:01:19,097
'Tis no windmill,
but a monster!
19
00:01:19,097 --> 00:01:20,207
Quiet!
20
00:01:20,728 --> 00:01:24,654
Don Quixote by Cervantes
drew raves in Spain.
21
00:01:25,807 --> 00:01:28,574
But the heavens do spin!
22
00:01:28,574 --> 00:01:29,799
What?
23
00:01:30,312 --> 00:01:32,579
Galileo Galilei of Italy
built his own telescope...
24
00:01:32,855 --> 00:01:35,471
and began astronomical observations.
25
00:01:35,796 --> 00:01:36,795
Astronomical?
26
00:01:37,044 --> 00:01:40,114
And Kepler published his
law of planetary motion.
27
00:01:40,437 --> 00:01:41,627
What's a planet?
28
00:01:41,954 --> 00:01:43,373
I don't know, sire.

53
00:04:28,096 --> 00:04:30,804
First, there are several deaths to report.
54
00:04:31,081 --> 00:04:35,585
On June 24, 1611, veteran warrior
and expert castle builder,
55
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,817
Kato Kiyomasa died in Kumamoto Castle.
56
00:04:39,161 --> 00:04:41,068
He was 50 years old.
57
00:04:41,363 --> 00:04:45,400
On October 10, the eldest son of
shogunate councilor Okubo Tadachika...
58
00:04:45,793 --> 00:04:48,681
Okubo Tadatsune
dies of illness in Shibaura.
59
00:04:49,006 --> 00:04:53,139
He was 32 years old.
60
00:04:54,466 --> 00:04:57,615
Edo Castle
61
00:04:58,118 --> 00:05:03,183
The Ogosho sent Her Ladyship
a letter of admonition.
62
00:05:04,168 --> 00:05:07,673
She is accused of favoring
younger son, Lord Kunichiyo,
63
00:05:08,307 --> 00:05:12,561
and treating the heir,
Lord Takechiyo, shabbily.
64
00:05:14,635 --> 00:05:17,888
Clearly this is a false charge
made by someone.
65
00:05:18,826 --> 00:05:21,641
Would you know who it might be?
66
00:05:22,058 --> 00:05:23,091
No Ma'am.
67
00:05:23,368 --> 00:05:24,643
Speak truthfully!
68
00:05:25,142 --> 00:05:27,306
Though there are many in the castle,
69
00:05:27,656 --> 00:05:31,005
few know intimately of life
in the inner chambers.
70
00:05:31,338 --> 00:05:33,901
Moreover, there is only one person...
71
00:05:34,183 --> 00:05:36,491
who would secretly inform
the Ogosho of such things.
72
00:05:38,074 --> 00:05:42,400
I don't have
the slightest idea, my lady.
73
00:05:43,368 --> 00:05:44,662
Lady Ofuku...
74
00:05:45,076 --> 00:05:49,786
You were ordered by the Ogosho
to become Takechiyo's wetnurse.
75
00:05:50,646 --> 00:05:53,172
Forgive me, My Lady, but...
76
00:05:53,571 --> 00:05:56,877
the Ogosho is an exceptionally
perceptive man.
77
00:05:57,264 --> 00:06:01,888
He can see what is happening
without any reports from me.
78
00:06:02,771 --> 00:06:04,543
I am shocked at your words!
79
00:06:05,092 --> 00:06:08,313
Are you saying that the accusations
in the letter are just?
80
00:06:09,846 --> 00:06:15,527
Her Ladyship equally loves
Lord Takechiyo and Lord Kunichiyo.
81
00:06:16,516 --> 00:06:19,287
If Lord Takechiyo
has little affection for her,
82
00:06:19,625 --> 00:06:21,831
isn't that a failure on your part?
83
00:06:23,034 --> 00:06:27,992
You are a disloyal wretch to make
the Ogosho angry with Her Ladyship!
84
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:35,104
Be ashamed of your error
and get away from here!
85
00:06:36,777 --> 00:06:40,867
Okay. I will do as you wish.
86
00:06:41,111 --> 00:06:48,979
However, without permission
from the Ogosho,
87
00:06:49,462 --> 00:06:52,165
I can do nothing.
88
00:06:52,650 --> 00:06:55,295
You bring up the Ogosho for everything!
89
00:06:56,167 --> 00:06:57,546
Don't be insolent!
90
00:06:59,357 --> 00:07:03,494
In that case,
I shall offer my resignation...
91
00:07:04,004 --> 00:07:06,347
and go to Sunpu.
92
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:10,890
No!
93
00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:12,582
Takechiyo...
94
00:07:12,893 --> 00:07:15,417
Stay, Ofuku!
Don't go anywhere!
95
00:07:32,136 --> 00:07:33,351
Tadachika...
96
00:07:36,197 --> 00:07:40,729
Whom would you love more,
a son or grandson?
97
00:07:42,619 --> 00:07:43,992
A son.
98
00:07:45,493 --> 00:07:50,447
Others say the grandson
is more loved.
99
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,431
That's a lie.
100
00:07:54,128 --> 00:08:00,198
Pardon me, but you feel this way
because you recently lost your son...
101
00:08:00,409 --> 00:08:02,091
That's not so.
102
00:08:02,555 --> 00:08:06,094
A grandson is child of your son.
103
00:08:06,608 --> 00:08:11,477
He cannot compare to a son
whom you tenderly raised.
104
00:08:13,579 --> 00:08:15,032
Perhaps not.
105
00:08:21,207 --> 00:08:25,798
The Ogosho said Takechiyo
could be replaced as heir.
106
00:08:27,745 --> 00:08:29,959
He was only giving an example.
107
00:08:30,295 --> 00:08:32,674
And he sent that letter of admonition.
108
00:08:32,957 --> 00:08:38,723
Perhaps he was concerned
for Lord Takechiyo's future.
109
00:08:39,148 --> 00:08:41,400
We cannot be too sure of that.
110
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,834
I cannot tell what
is in the Ogosho's heart.
111
00:08:45,203 --> 00:08:50,754
Why did he give the Tokugawa surname
to Yoshitoshi and Yorimasa?
112
00:08:51,889 --> 00:08:54,429
Well, that I do not know...
113
00:08:54,786 --> 00:08:56,538
You must remonstrate with him!
114
00:08:56,786 --> 00:08:58,239
Remonstrate?
115
00:08:59,913 --> 00:09:04,208
The Ogosho recommended
Prince Kotohito for Emperor...
116
00:09:04,612 --> 00:09:07,563
because he was
the Emperor's natural son!
117
00:09:08,936 --> 00:09:12,518
If he breaks the rule
for the Shogun's successor...
118
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:15,004
darkness will descend
upon the government!
119
00:09:20,098 --> 00:09:23,151
My Lord,
your fears are groundless.
120
00:09:23,151 --> 00:09:24,095
Groundless?!
121
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,714
The Ogosho would never
break the rules.
122
00:09:29,234 --> 00:09:32,522
If you admonish him recklessly,
123
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:35,260
he might become angry.
124
00:09:35,648 --> 00:09:37,332
That's true, but...
125
00:09:37,657 --> 00:09:39,206
Very well.
126
00:09:40,461 --> 00:09:45,765
But, I will have to give
an answer to his letter.
127
00:09:47,819 --> 00:09:52,772
Shogun Hidetada arrived
at Sunpu Castle on March 17.
128
00:09:56,244 --> 00:10:03,055
Excuse me, My Lord,
about your letter admonishing Ogou...
129
00:10:03,431 --> 00:10:04,952
Ah...
130
00:10:06,663 --> 00:10:13,234
we're ashamed that it was necessary
for you to advise us on childrearing.
131
00:10:13,234 --> 00:10:15,681
If a child's upbringing goes amiss,
132
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:17,292
it is due to bad parents.
133
00:10:19,192 --> 00:10:22,858
If Takechiyo is incapable
of doing his duties,
134
00:10:23,183 --> 00:10:28,244
he must be replaced by a more
competent son of the Tokugawa.
135
00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:30,937
Please, Father...
136
00:10:33,319 --> 00:10:35,737
If the grandson is more beloved
than the son...
137
00:10:36,335 --> 00:10:39,347
darkness will descend...
138
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:41,848
- What are you trying to say?!
- Forgive me, Father!
139
00:10:42,576 --> 00:10:43,817
Remember!
140
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:46,663
You must choose your heir!
141
00:10:47,906 --> 00:10:51,048
The Shogun must decide
who becomes heir to his house!
142
00:10:52,199 --> 00:10:54,874
It is not for a retiree to interfere.
143
00:11:00,564 --> 00:11:04,341
The next day, at the mansion
of senior vassal Okubo Nagayasu,
144
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:06,988
a grave situation was uncovered.
145
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,363
I ask again...
146
00:11:12,918 --> 00:11:19,423
Did you give a large sum of money
to Okamoto Daihachi,
147
00:11:19,843 --> 00:11:25,587
vassal to Honda Masazumi?
148
00:11:26,441 --> 00:11:27,490
Yes, I did.
149
00:11:27,935 --> 00:11:30,425
For what reason?
150
00:11:30,844 --> 00:11:35,017
As you know,
three years ago in Nagasaki harbor,
151
00:11:35,492 --> 00:11:38,572
I fired on and sank a lawbreaking
Portuguese ship.
152
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,840
I later waited for a reward
from the shogunate,
153
00:11:43,239 --> 00:11:46,161
but received no word.
154
00:11:46,923 --> 00:11:50,990
So I sought Sir Honda Masazumi's
help in the matter,
155
00:11:51,318 --> 00:11:55,511
and gave him money
through my friend, Okamoto Daihachi.
156
00:11:55,910 --> 00:12:01,931
But, Daihachi pocketed
the money instead...
157
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:06,758
and did not give it
to Honda Masazumi.
158
00:12:07,261 --> 00:12:13,072
Moreover, Daihachi issued a
forged trading permit and deceived me!
159
00:12:13,956 --> 00:12:16,356
I understand.
160
00:12:17,979 --> 00:12:28,544
Now I have a separate
accusation from Daihachi.
161
00:12:29,027 --> 00:12:31,688
Forgive this inconvenience,
but I ask for an explanation.
162
00:12:31,940 --> 00:12:33,861
What is this separate accusation?
163
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:48,788
Daihachi...
164
00:12:49,309 --> 00:12:53,208
State your accusation here and now.
165
00:12:53,768 --> 00:13:01,151
Sir Arima Harunobu plotted to kill
Nagasaki Magistrate, Hasegawa Fujihiro!
166
00:13:01,151 --> 00:13:02,909
Don't be absurd!
167
00:13:03,161 --> 00:13:04,585
Resign yourself!
168
00:13:05,321 --> 00:13:08,644
Lord Hasegawa discovered your
smuggling operation in Luzon,
169
00:13:08,927 --> 00:13:10,788
so you attempted to kill him!
170
00:13:11,053 --> 00:13:15,869
Silence! Would you destroy me
with false accusations?!
171
00:13:18,745 --> 00:13:22,024
For fraud and forgery
of a trading permit,
172
00:13:22,321 --> 00:13:28,098
Okamoto Daihachi was burned on a cross
at Abekawa riverbed on March 21.
173
00:13:32,547 --> 00:13:36,506
And for the attempted assassination
of the Nagasaki Magistrate,
174
00:13:36,802 --> 00:13:40,307
Arima Harunobu was exiled
to Tsuru-gori in Kai.
175
00:13:43,925 --> 00:13:48,524
Okamoto Daihachi was
Honda Masazumi's vassal.
176
00:13:50,614 --> 00:13:54,823
Okubo Nagayasu who
passed judgment on Daihachi...
177
00:13:55,351 --> 00:13:57,811
is Okubo Tadachika's kin.
178
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,995
Considering the bad blood
between Okubo and Honda,
179
00:14:03,718 --> 00:14:06,636
Masazumi could have suffered
no greater humiliation.
180
00:14:08,295 --> 00:14:12,118
No matter what he says, ignore it.
181
00:14:12,792 --> 00:14:14,897
Don't take either side.
182
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:17,431
Very well, Father.
183
00:14:17,808 --> 00:14:21,382
Key vassals should not be too friendly.
184
00:14:21,816 --> 00:14:24,626
Think of the shogunate
as a cart with two horses.
185
00:14:25,233 --> 00:14:29,005
You must cleverly rein them in.
186
00:14:29,828 --> 00:14:31,318
Checkmate!
187
00:14:33,118 --> 00:14:36,798
Oh, the rook and bishop?
188
00:14:37,287 --> 00:14:41,678
That's right. Consider those two
your rook and bishop.
189
00:14:45,568 --> 00:14:47,251
Yah, I'm overwhelmed.
190
00:14:47,555 --> 00:14:49,167
My Lord...
191
00:14:49,721 --> 00:14:52,493
Arima Harunobu tried to kill my brother.
192
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,898
Please sentence him to death.
193
00:14:55,366 --> 00:14:57,489
Of course,
he'll commit seppuku.
194
00:14:57,992 --> 00:15:01,038
But, even if you are Hasegawa's sister,
195
00:15:01,319 --> 00:15:02,840
women should stay out of this!
196
00:15:04,384 --> 00:15:06,180
One more game.
No?
197
00:15:06,666 --> 00:15:11,012
Nagasaki Magistrate Hasegawa Fujihiro
was Onatsu's older brother.
198
00:15:13,754 --> 00:15:16,053
The power struggle escalated
between Okubo Tadachika...
199
00:15:16,272 --> 00:15:19,585
and Honda Masanobu
and his son Masazumi.
200
00:15:19,867 --> 00:15:24,650
Shogunate vassals liked Tadachika
of the warrior faction.
201
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,825
But the Hondas
of the civil-service faction...
202
00:15:27,174 --> 00:15:29,754
were closer to the Ogosho.
203
00:15:31,447 --> 00:15:35,098
Osaka Castle
204
00:15:39,626 --> 00:15:41,974
On June 16 in Osaka Castle...
205
00:15:42,225 --> 00:15:46,094
the binsogi rite was performed
for Princess Sen.
206
00:15:48,387 --> 00:15:51,291
Toyotomi Hideyori
207
00:15:51,629 --> 00:15:54,869
The sidelocks are clipped
in the binsogi rite...
208
00:15:55,565 --> 00:15:57,968
and marked a young woman's
coming of age.
209
00:15:58,376 --> 00:16:01,071
Lord Hideyori was 20 years old,
Princess Sen was 16.
210
00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:12,970
Congratulations!
211
00:18:13,681 --> 00:18:15,716
Congratulations.
212
00:18:24,006 --> 00:18:29,075
Now the Toyotomi and Tokugawa
are truly kin.
213
00:18:30,291 --> 00:18:36,009
Lord Hideyori...
Sire many children.
214
00:18:37,421 --> 00:18:38,735
I shall.
215
00:18:43,054 --> 00:18:44,592
By the way, Uncle...
216
00:18:44,991 --> 00:18:47,019
Ogou sent a letter.
217
00:18:47,455 --> 00:18:52,487
She wishes to wed her 2nd son
Kunichiyo to an Oda daughter.
218
00:18:52,827 --> 00:18:54,187
An Oda daughter?
219
00:18:54,548 --> 00:18:59,071
So, she asks that you
recommend a suitable girl.
220
00:18:59,990 --> 00:19:01,351
Well now...
221
00:19:01,770 --> 00:19:07,788
That would bring Toyotomi,
Tokugawa, and Oda closer.
222
00:19:08,415 --> 00:19:10,597
What a praiseworthy gesture.
223
00:19:11,810 --> 00:19:13,462
Ogou...
224
00:19:14,065 --> 00:19:18,460
She still hopes to restore
the Oda to former glory.
225
00:19:21,004 --> 00:19:22,488
Even after Ex-Emperor Goyozei's
retirement,
226
00:19:22,771 --> 00:19:24,258
his arguments with the Palace continued,
227
00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:26,910
leaving him in extremely bad humor.
228
00:19:27,568 --> 00:19:29,835
The cause was the strife
between the Emperor mothers,
229
00:19:30,196 --> 00:19:32,429
who were mother-
and daughter-in-law.
230
00:19:35,163 --> 00:19:38,766
Once more Ieyasu intervened
in problems in the Court.
231
00:19:39,134 --> 00:19:43,209
He sent Kyoto Deputy Itakura Katsushige
to mediate.
232
00:20:02,981 --> 00:20:06,010
A solution has finally been reached.
233
00:20:08,384 --> 00:20:16,339
The Ex-Emperor will return his cherished
treasure to the Emperor.
234
00:20:18,414 --> 00:20:20,668
Are you certain of it?
235
00:20:23,579 --> 00:20:26,596
An acceptance ceremony will be held...
236
00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:29,751
at Sento Palace on July 8.
237
00:20:30,211 --> 00:20:32,433
That is excellent news.
238
00:20:32,938 --> 00:20:35,684
Though the Ex-Emperor
was not pleased,
239
00:20:36,011 --> 00:20:38,283
he said that if that's
what Ieyasu wishes,
240
00:20:39,449 --> 00:20:45,909
then it must be done.
241
00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:58,110
Lord Chancellor!
242
00:21:00,673 --> 00:21:03,122
After fulfilling this important task,
243
00:21:03,516 --> 00:21:06,459
Chancellor Kujo Tadahide
was dismissed on July 25.
244
00:21:09,223 --> 00:21:13,669
Succeeding him as Chancellor
was Takatasukasa Nobuhisa.
245
00:21:14,038 --> 00:21:18,882
Of course, Ieyasu had a hand
in his appointment as well.
246
00:21:21,608 --> 00:21:23,190
Edo Castle
247
00:21:23,502 --> 00:21:25,821
I summoned everyone
here to announce...
248
00:21:26,087 --> 00:21:29,832
the bride for my heir Takechiyo
has been determined.
249
00:21:31,843 --> 00:21:35,413
She is the daughter
of Takatsukasa Nobufusa.
250
00:21:35,726 --> 00:21:39,043
The sister of new
Chancellor Takatsukasa Nobuhisa.
251
00:21:40,078 --> 00:21:41,709
Congratulations!
252
00:21:51,771 --> 00:21:56,322
Her name is Princess Takako.
She is eleven years old.
253
00:21:57,293 --> 00:21:59,773
She is two years older than you.
254
00:22:00,380 --> 00:22:03,673
A wife should be older and strong.
255
00:22:03,894 --> 00:22:05,125
Right, Ogou?
256
00:22:10,306 --> 00:22:11,432
Are you pleased, Takechiyo?
257
00:22:12,871 --> 00:22:14,165
Make an answer.
258
00:22:15,112 --> 00:22:16,613
Thank you, Father.
259
00:22:17,418 --> 00:22:20,250
Though there are many
noble princesses in the Court,
260
00:22:20,660 --> 00:22:24,182
none is as beautiful
or as intelligent as Princess Takako.
261
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:26,922
That is what Lord Tadahide says.
262
00:22:28,545 --> 00:22:30,568
- Ofuku...
- Yes?
263
00:22:30,816 --> 00:22:33,082
This will not be for a while yet,
264
00:22:33,475 --> 00:22:35,709
but you served the Sanjo Nishi.
265
00:22:36,407 --> 00:22:39,001
When possible, teach Takechiyo
the graceful ways...
266
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,920
of the courtiers.
267
00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:45,189
Yes, My Lord.
268
00:22:45,683 --> 00:22:47,264
That won't be necessary.
269
00:22:48,454 --> 00:22:51,263
Takechiyo is not marrying
into their house.
270
00:22:51,613 --> 00:22:53,772
Princess Takako is marrying
into our samurai house.
271
00:22:54,815 --> 00:22:59,065
That's right, that's right.
The older wife knows best.
272
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:00,490
My Lord...
273
00:23:04,189 --> 00:23:07,266
On January 25, 1613...
274
00:23:07,649 --> 00:23:10,838
Lord of Himeji Castle in Harima,
Ikeda Terumasa, died.
275
00:23:11,136 --> 00:23:14,838
Terumasa was the husband of
Ieyasu's 2nd daughter, Princess Toku.
276
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,069
Then on January 26,
he head of Edo Castle's Inner Chambers,
277
00:23:20,368 --> 00:23:22,602
Ouba "Great Wetnurse" died.
278
00:23:22,928 --> 00:23:26,672
Now Takechiyo's own wetnurse,
Ofuku, became head.
279
00:23:31,028 --> 00:23:33,142
About Lord Komatsu, Sire...
280
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,904
Lady Ouba was his protector.
281
00:23:37,326 --> 00:23:39,499
Her death is most unfortunate.
282
00:23:39,929 --> 00:23:40,832
What shall we do?
283
00:23:41,822 --> 00:23:44,913
It's dangerous to leave the
illegitimate child at a ronin's house.
284
00:23:45,801 --> 00:23:49,370
Have a personage of
suitable station take him in.
285
00:23:51,622 --> 00:23:52,684
Such as...?
286
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:56,110
For example, Lady Kenshoin
of Bikuni Mansion.
287
00:23:56,834 --> 00:23:58,838
Oh, Takeda Shingen's daughter?
288
00:23:59,757 --> 00:24:02,620
She would be perfect
to raise the illegitimate child.
289
00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:07,027
Wait, Bikuni Mansion at Tayasu Gate
is very close.
290
00:24:07,594 --> 00:24:10,936
That will allow you
to see the illegitimate child.
291
00:24:11,218 --> 00:24:13,311
Don't keep saying "illegitimate child."
292
00:24:13,721 --> 00:24:15,065
Ogou will kill him if she finds out!
293
00:24:16,702 --> 00:24:18,208
Komatsu isn't mine.
294
00:24:19,048 --> 00:24:22,077
If Ogou finds out,
say he's your child, Toshikatsu.
295
00:24:22,077 --> 00:24:22,847
Understand?
296
00:24:26,150 --> 00:24:27,702
Lady Kenshoin...
297
00:24:31,845 --> 00:24:35,974
Henpecked Hidetada's hidden child
was not 2 years old.
298
00:24:36,363 --> 00:24:39,316
Komatsu and his mother Shizu
moved into Bikuni Mansion...
299
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,104
under the protection of Lady Kenshoin.
300
00:24:43,630 --> 00:24:46,579
"Bikuni" is a widow
who has become a nun.
301
00:24:48,984 --> 00:24:53,241
On April 25 Sado Magistrate
Okubo Nagayasu died in Sunpu.
302
00:24:53,549 --> 00:24:56,499
Soon after, his mansion
was searched by officials.
303
00:24:57,421 --> 00:25:00,328
In his lifetime, Nagayasu
had committed flagrant crimes.
304
00:25:00,656 --> 00:25:02,988
He had embezzled enormous sums
and plotted insurrection.
305
00:25:03,657 --> 00:25:09,439
Okubo Nagayasu's enormous holdings
were all confiscated.
306
00:25:09,813 --> 00:25:11,753
Seven of his children
committed seppuku,
307
00:25:12,015 --> 00:25:14,921
and his vassals were placed
under custody of other daimyo.
308
00:25:15,593 --> 00:25:20,477
The Honda father and son
were behind this plot of revenge.
309
00:25:20,938 --> 00:25:22,346
I forgot to mention something.
310
00:25:22,346 --> 00:25:23,162
What is it?
311
00:25:23,393 --> 00:25:26,475
In April of last year
on Ganryu Island in Buzen...
312
00:25:27,066 --> 00:25:30,879
Miyamoto Musashi killed
Sasaki Kojiro in a duel.
313
00:25:30,879 --> 00:25:32,409
That does not concern us!
314
00:25:34,862 --> 00:25:38,003
Ieyasu's meddling into Court
affairs intensified.
315
00:25:38,285 --> 00:25:41,603
In June he issued
"Five Rules for Nobles."
316
00:25:44,007 --> 00:25:47,557
In short, the rules are...
317
00:25:48,726 --> 00:25:53,194
Nobles must participate
in the scholarly pursuits...
318
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,523
of their respective houses.
319
00:25:56,850 --> 00:26:01,349
Any who misbehave and
break the rules will be exiled.
320
00:26:02,068 --> 00:26:06,370
Duties must be performed
without fail.
321
00:26:07,902 --> 00:26:13,201
Nobles must not
loiter in the streets.
322
00:26:14,727 --> 00:26:20,903
Gambling or employing hooligans
is forbidden.
323
00:26:21,293 --> 00:26:23,498
The penalty is exile.
324
00:26:27,073 --> 00:26:34,078
The punishment is to be
executed by samurai.
325
00:26:34,399 --> 00:26:36,258
By samurai?!
326
00:26:38,701 --> 00:26:40,655
Out of the question!
327
00:26:45,259 --> 00:26:47,095
One more thing...
328
00:26:47,407 --> 00:26:51,224
The wearing of purple robes
by superiors of Datokuji...
329
00:26:51,611 --> 00:26:55,350
Myoshinji, Chion-in,
and other temples...
330
00:26:56,020 --> 00:27:01,587
is subject to prior approval
by the shogunate.
331
00:27:02,612 --> 00:27:04,752
This is outrageous...
332
00:27:06,895 --> 00:27:10,413
Lord Chancellor,
what will you do about this?
333
00:27:19,925 --> 00:27:23,551
In August,
English commander John Saris...
334
00:27:23,844 --> 00:27:27,290
brought a signed letter
from King James I of England...
335
00:27:27,592 --> 00:27:29,319
and appeared before Hidetada.
336
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:31,559
The Shogun is here.
337
00:27:35,895 --> 00:27:37,683
Sit down!
Lower your heads!
338
00:27:39,252 --> 00:27:42,806
Excuse me,
the custom of the West is to stand.
339
00:27:44,719 --> 00:27:46,377
We are not in the West.
340
00:27:46,917 --> 00:27:49,623
Never mind.
They stood up at Sunpu.
341
00:28:07,467 --> 00:28:11,217
Appearing before you is
an envoy of the King of England,
342
00:28:11,485 --> 00:28:13,002
John Saris.
343
00:28:16,116 --> 00:28:17,436
Thank you for coming.
344
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:28,985
He is extremely honored to
appear before Your Excellency.
345
00:28:30,725 --> 00:28:31,759
You may sit.
346
00:28:39,485 --> 00:28:44,339
The reply to the King will be sent
by the Ogosho from Sunpu.
347
00:28:50,935 --> 00:28:54,279
The English will open a
trading house in Uraga...
348
00:28:54,627 --> 00:28:58,072
after the shogunate sees
that all papers are in order.
349
00:28:58,072 --> 00:28:58,923
Hold!
350
00:28:59,736 --> 00:29:04,070
Western trading houses
were to be build only in Hirado.
351
00:29:05,016 --> 00:29:08,597
Portugal, Spain, and Holland...
352
00:29:09,012 --> 00:29:10,587
England is an exception.
353
00:29:10,944 --> 00:29:11,915
Why?
354
00:29:12,283 --> 00:29:13,861
It is the Ogosho's wish.
355
00:29:16,457 --> 00:29:17,845
I was not informed!
356
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,594
Miura Anjin (pilot).
357
00:29:24,221 --> 00:29:30,060
I'll allow trade,
but not the spread of Christianity.
358
00:29:30,711 --> 00:29:32,454
They understand, Your Excellency.
359
00:29:37,088 --> 00:29:39,524
Your Excellency!
What are you doing?!
360
00:29:44,267 --> 00:29:48,212
Don't the English remove
their footwear indoors?
361
00:29:50,077 --> 00:29:52,292
We do remove shoes.
362
00:29:53,249 --> 00:29:54,672
Only in prison.
363
00:29:54,923 --> 00:29:55,889
Prison?
364
00:29:56,278 --> 00:29:58,398
For criminals.
The incarcerated.
365
00:30:04,830 --> 00:30:06,421
Anjin, are these called shoo?
366
00:30:16,373 --> 00:30:19,811
Later the Miura Anjin
clashed with John Sairs.
367
00:30:20,168 --> 00:30:22,123
Anjin's loyalty to England
was questioned,
368
00:30:22,352 --> 00:30:24,728
so he returned his lands
to the shogunate.
369
00:30:25,295 --> 00:30:27,669
He became William Adams again...
370
00:30:27,933 --> 00:30:30,470
and went to work
for the Dutch Trading House in Hirado.
371
00:30:35,627 --> 00:30:37,952
An incident that rocked the government
occurred at year's end.
372
00:30:38,375 --> 00:30:41,192
A secret letter came
to Edo Castle from Ieyasu,
373
00:30:41,458 --> 00:30:46,299
who had left for Sunpu
after his hawking trip to the Kanto.
374
00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:53,463
Alarmed, Doi Toshikatsu
went to Nakahara in Sagami.
375
00:30:53,802 --> 00:30:55,644
When he caught up
with Ieyasu's party,
376
00:30:55,938 --> 00:30:58,314
he was told a shocking tale.
377
00:31:05,942 --> 00:31:08,611
Sire!
This is a crisis!
378
00:31:10,117 --> 00:31:12,459
Did Ogou find out about Komatsu?
379
00:31:12,862 --> 00:31:17,753
No! When the Ogosho's party
was stopped in Nakahara,
380
00:31:18,004 --> 00:31:20,336
a certain person made
a direct appeal for help.
381
00:31:20,788 --> 00:31:25,129
Namely, that Okubo Tadachika,
lord of Odawara Castle, plots treason.
382
00:31:26,025 --> 00:31:28,334
Tadachika plots treason?!
383
00:31:28,868 --> 00:31:32,668
So the party skipped Odawara
and is staying in Nakahara.
384
00:31:32,981 --> 00:31:34,633
Wait, wait, wait...
385
00:31:34,943 --> 00:31:36,272
It must be some mistake.
386
00:31:36,776 --> 00:31:38,678
I, too, agree,
387
00:31:39,084 --> 00:31:44,009
but the Ogosho plans
to circle back to Edo.
388
00:31:47,194 --> 00:31:48,304
Very well.
389
00:31:51,249 --> 00:31:55,713
Kosugi Camp
390
00:32:00,121 --> 00:32:02,111
How are things at Odawara Castle?
391
00:32:02,339 --> 00:32:03,915
Everything is normal.
392
00:32:04,388 --> 00:32:07,627
Lord Tadachika and others
anxiously await your arrival.
393
00:32:08,668 --> 00:32:10,339
Send a message to Tadachika.
394
00:32:11,343 --> 00:32:14,654
Due to dangerous rumors
about local Christians,
395
00:32:15,405 --> 00:32:17,081
tell him that we shall wait for awhile.
396
00:32:17,081 --> 00:32:18,283
Very well.
397
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,048
His Excellency is here!
398
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:25,411
Admit him!
399
00:32:32,543 --> 00:32:35,987
I am overjoyed to see you, Father.
400
00:32:36,518 --> 00:32:38,363
Hey, I'm going back to Edo.
401
00:32:39,521 --> 00:32:41,147
Yes, I've come to greet you, Sir.
402
00:32:41,562 --> 00:32:42,534
Shigemasa!
403
00:32:44,239 --> 00:32:45,352
Go to Sunpu.
404
00:32:45,707 --> 00:32:48,507
Work with Naruse Masanari
to protect Yoshitoshi and Yorimasa.
405
00:32:48,734 --> 00:32:49,641
Yes, Sire!
406
00:32:50,021 --> 00:32:52,146
Tell the daimyo of Ise and Mikawa...
407
00:32:52,436 --> 00:32:54,707
they must guard
their borders carefully.
408
00:32:57,407 --> 00:32:59,970
New Year's greetings to Edo
will be postponed.
409
00:33:00,801 --> 00:33:03,098
- Father...
- Also, tell the Kyoto Deputy...
410
00:33:03,472 --> 00:33:06,508
to issues orders
to expel the Christian priests.
411
00:33:06,912 --> 00:33:07,798
Yes, Sire!
412
00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:09,444
Excuse me, Father...
413
00:33:10,581 --> 00:33:14,851
Who was it that accused
Okubo Tadachika of treason?
414
00:33:18,942 --> 00:33:21,286
Baba Hachizawmon.
415
00:33:22,505 --> 00:33:25,098
Baba Hachizaemon...
416
00:33:25,458 --> 00:33:28,834
He's chamberlain to former
Takeda vassal, Anayama Baisetsu.
417
00:33:29,418 --> 00:33:31,416
He's in Tadachika's custody.
418
00:33:31,950 --> 00:33:33,849
It is probably a false accusation.
419
00:33:34,226 --> 00:33:35,272
Silence!
420
00:33:36,349 --> 00:33:40,287
Please listen! Why would the
most loyal vassal of all...?!
421
00:33:40,577 --> 00:33:42,775
Perhaps he was possessed by a fox.
422
00:33:44,818 --> 00:33:46,053
Fox...?
423
00:33:46,510 --> 00:33:49,999
Ever since his son's death last year,
424
00:33:50,352 --> 00:33:52,541
Tadachika has not seemed like himself.
425
00:33:53,741 --> 00:33:55,263
That's another matter!
426
00:33:55,602 --> 00:33:56,697
Another matter?!
427
00:33:59,156 --> 00:34:01,340
What does the Shogun say?
428
00:34:03,694 --> 00:34:06,890
Okubo Tadachika's loyalty is matchless.
429
00:34:07,245 --> 00:34:10,454
Is he so loyal to the Shogun
that I am in the way?!
430
00:34:11,617 --> 00:34:13,460
Never, My Lord!
431
00:34:13,793 --> 00:34:15,883
Regardless of the truth,
432
00:34:16,260 --> 00:34:20,418
we must prepare for the worst
and take no chances.
433
00:34:21,033 --> 00:34:22,199
Father...
434
00:34:22,682 --> 00:34:28,106
I must tell you, Okubo Tadachika
is clearly innocent!
435
00:34:33,751 --> 00:34:36,842
Don't assume it so easily.
436
00:34:37,345 --> 00:34:40,018
My life is at stake!
437
00:34:41,093 --> 00:34:42,996
If you defend him too aggressively,
438
00:34:43,764 --> 00:34:46,060
suspicion could even fall on you!
439
00:34:51,626 --> 00:34:53,858
Having returned to Edo Castle,
440
00:34:54,140 --> 00:34:57,065
Ieyasu ordered Okubo Tadachika
to Kyoto...
441
00:34:57,522 --> 00:35:00,830
supposedly for the
expulsion of Catholic priests.
442
00:35:02,154 --> 00:35:06,703
On January 17, 1614,
after arriving in Kyoto,
443
00:35:07,006 --> 00:35:11,985
Okubo Tadachika was faintly
aware of the situation.
444
00:35:21,018 --> 00:35:24,051
Reporting.
Lord Itakura is here.
445
00:35:25,274 --> 00:35:26,313
Admit him.
446
00:35:33,206 --> 00:35:35,120
Playing chess?
447
00:35:35,725 --> 00:35:38,073
Forgive me,
but please wait awhile.
448
00:35:38,443 --> 00:35:41,552
If I commit hara-kiri,
I won't be able to play anymore.
449
00:35:49,322 --> 00:35:51,770
The sentence is not seppuku.
450
00:35:55,192 --> 00:35:56,248
Exile, then?
451
00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:12,963
Please write a letter of explanation!
452
00:36:13,712 --> 00:36:15,649
I will deliver it to Edo!
453
00:36:16,011 --> 00:36:17,571
That won't be necessary!
454
00:36:21,526 --> 00:36:24,354
If I insist on my innocence,
455
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:28,747
the Ogosho will be condemned
for believing the rumors.
456
00:36:31,339 --> 00:36:32,792
Sir Okubo...
457
00:36:34,923 --> 00:36:37,853
You have a fine son, Sir Katsushige.
458
00:36:40,747 --> 00:36:42,606
I envy you no end.
459
00:36:44,506 --> 00:36:46,301
Thank you, sir.
460
00:36:51,950 --> 00:36:54,470
What's wrong?
Why not move?
461
00:37:00,020 --> 00:37:02,830
If you move your bishop here,
it will be checkmate.
462
00:37:12,238 --> 00:37:13,505
Never mind.
463
00:37:40,993 --> 00:37:44,724
By order of the Shogun!
464
00:37:46,365 --> 00:37:49,083
Senior Councilor, Okubo,
Lord of Sagami,
465
00:37:49,317 --> 00:37:51,804
of late your conduct
has been unacceptable.
466
00:37:52,555 --> 00:37:54,786
You are unsuited to high office.
467
00:37:55,128 --> 00:37:58,160
Therefore, you house is
abolished and confiscated,
468
00:37:58,553 --> 00:38:02,411
and you are banished
to Nakamura in Omi Province.
469
00:38:03,291 --> 00:38:06,568
January 19, 1614.
470
00:38:09,618 --> 00:38:12,551
I humbly accept the sentence.
471
00:38:23,290 --> 00:38:25,287
Father, I must speak.
472
00:38:25,978 --> 00:38:29,057
About the abolishment
of Okubo Tadachika's house...
473
00:38:29,478 --> 00:38:33,789
Abbot Tenkai asks that he be pardoned.
474
00:38:36,827 --> 00:38:38,453
I refuse to listen.
475
00:38:39,579 --> 00:38:44,059
Then allow me to ask once more.
476
00:38:45,776 --> 00:38:49,338
It is widely rumored among the vassals...
477
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:52,684
that Honda Masanobu
and his son Masazumi...
478
00:38:53,057 --> 00:38:56,732
plotted Tadachika's downfall.
479
00:38:57,655 --> 00:38:59,109
What of it?
480
00:39:00,561 --> 00:39:02,136
The basis of order...
481
00:39:02,606 --> 00:39:05,139
requires that justice be pursued.
482
00:39:05,691 --> 00:39:10,691
Therefore, I wish to summon Tadachika
and the Hondas...
483
00:39:11,108 --> 00:39:13,627
and hold another hearing.
484
00:39:13,954 --> 00:39:15,332
That's not necessary.
485
00:39:16,406 --> 00:39:18,470
A hearing would not matter.
486
00:39:18,921 --> 00:39:21,595
The basis of order is not justice.
487
00:39:21,968 --> 00:39:24,718
No bad or good exists in governance.
488
00:39:25,208 --> 00:39:27,624
Let those who wish to win do so.
489
00:39:27,968 --> 00:39:30,233
Keep those who are useful
to the Tokugawa.
490
00:39:31,047 --> 00:39:32,726
What's with that look?
491
00:39:33,664 --> 00:39:36,769
Listen, the rivalry between
Tadachika and Masanobu...
492
00:39:37,018 --> 00:39:39,940
had begun to upset order in the land.
493
00:39:40,696 --> 00:39:44,909
The seeds of discord
must be completely wiped out.
494
00:39:46,648 --> 00:39:50,552
In other words,
one of them had to be dismissed.
495
00:39:52,225 --> 00:39:53,628
Now...
496
00:39:53,941 --> 00:39:57,117
Who would you eliminate?
Who would you keep?
497
00:39:59,413 --> 00:40:03,427
Though Tadachika
is unmatched in loyalty,
498
00:40:03,957 --> 00:40:06,740
he is entirely too straitlaced.
499
00:40:07,288 --> 00:40:10,245
He does not know the tricks of survival.
500
00:40:10,617 --> 00:40:14,036
Moreover, with the loss of his son,
he lacks a successor.
501
00:40:14,981 --> 00:40:18,587
But Masanobu is 77 years old.
502
00:40:18,944 --> 00:40:21,727
Both feet are in the grave.
503
00:40:22,464 --> 00:40:24,857
He will depart soon
without anyone's assistance.
504
00:40:25,187 --> 00:40:29,947
However, he has the
perfect heir in Masazumi.
505
00:40:31,227 --> 00:40:34,400
Masazumi is your vassal.
506
00:40:34,969 --> 00:40:37,275
He will be yours eventually.
507
00:40:37,798 --> 00:40:40,546
And, not only Masazumi.
508
00:40:41,139 --> 00:40:43,956
You have Doi Toshikatsu, Sakai Tadayo,
509
00:40:43,956 --> 00:40:45,653
and Aoyama Tadatoshi.
510
00:40:45,981 --> 00:40:49,174
Brilliant aides,
sparkling like stars in the heavens!
511
00:40:49,940 --> 00:40:52,668
To have them perform
at their fullest potential,
512
00:40:52,997 --> 00:40:56,825
you must place them
in suitable positions!
513
00:41:00,715 --> 00:41:04,409
Beginning with Tadachika
and Masanobu,
514
00:41:05,559 --> 00:41:08,798
swiftly retire troublesome old vassals,
515
00:41:09,136 --> 00:41:15,450
and bring a burst of fresh air
into the castle.
516
00:41:18,988 --> 00:41:21,695
Now, Your Excellency...
517
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,411
Is it time for me
to bow out as well?
518
00:41:35,743 --> 00:41:38,315
If a ruler is kind to kin,
519
00:41:38,785 --> 00:41:42,008
his people will flourish in benevolence.
520
00:41:42,853 --> 00:41:45,102
If he remembers old friends,
521
00:41:45,460 --> 00:41:47,986
his people will not be poor.
522
00:41:48,674 --> 00:41:50,539
What does that mean?
523
00:41:50,989 --> 00:41:54,596
If a ruler will cherish his family,
524
00:41:55,026 --> 00:41:58,176
his subjects will learn to be merciful.
525
00:41:59,630 --> 00:42:03,066
If a ruler cherishes his friends,
526
00:42:03,649 --> 00:42:06,340
his subjects will become
more compassionate.
527
00:42:06,862 --> 00:42:09,208
Well done, well done.
528
00:42:11,208 --> 00:42:14,494
- Ogou!
- Your Excellency, please listen!
529
00:42:15,146 --> 00:42:17,341
Kunichiyo is brilliant!
530
00:42:18,993 --> 00:42:21,489
Oh, I see.
Clear the room.
531
00:42:21,762 --> 00:42:23,099
Kunichiyo and Kazu, too.
532
00:42:31,741 --> 00:42:33,233
What is the matter?
533
00:42:36,183 --> 00:42:37,588
Brace yourself.
534
00:42:37,962 --> 00:42:41,072
The Ogosho petitioned
for Kazu's entry into the Court.
535
00:42:42,668 --> 00:42:44,340
As the Emperor's Consort!
536
00:42:46,186 --> 00:42:47,873
And, what happened?!
537
00:42:48,297 --> 00:42:49,812
I don't know yet.
538
00:42:50,214 --> 00:42:52,620
The Court must
be in an uproar by now.
539
00:42:53,386 --> 00:42:55,765
To be continued.
540
00:42:58,330 --> 00:43:01,889
To be continued.
