Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,339 --> 00:00:13,515
I want to ask you...
2
00:00:14,593 --> 00:00:17,059
If the Shogun produces no heirs,
3
00:00:17,362 --> 00:00:21,159
one may be chosen from the
Tokugawa, Owari, or Kii house.
4
00:00:21,456 --> 00:00:22,892
That was Lord Ieyasu's last will,
wasn't it?
5
00:00:23,151 --> 00:00:24,045
That's correct, My Lady.
6
00:00:24,373 --> 00:00:26,949
Then, what will become of Tadanaga?
7
00:00:27,513 --> 00:00:28,202
Huh?
8
00:00:28,636 --> 00:00:31,050
If 3rd Shogun Iemitsu has no sons,
9
00:00:31,309 --> 00:00:36,393
shouldn't he make his brother
Tadanaga the 4th Shogun?
10
00:00:36,910 --> 00:00:39,655
That was not Lord Ieyasu's wish.
11
00:00:39,952 --> 00:00:40,780
What?
12
00:00:41,187 --> 00:00:44,577
Only sons of the Three Houses
were eligible,
13
00:00:44,834 --> 00:00:47,890
that of the Shogun, Owari or Kii.
14
00:00:49,312 --> 00:00:51,115
"The eldest must succeed?"
15
00:00:51,405 --> 00:00:52,380
Yes.
16
00:00:52,686 --> 00:00:59,476
I thought the Three Houses
were Owari, Kii, and Mito?
17
00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:00,641
No...
18
00:01:01,206 --> 00:01:05,941
It was later that the Mito House
became one of the Three Houses.
19
00:01:06,456 --> 00:01:07,335
Study harder!
20
00:01:08,271 --> 00:01:11,627
For example,
would it still be disallowed...
21
00:01:12,002 --> 00:01:13,409
if Iemitsu stepped down
in Tadanaga's favor?
22
00:01:13,925 --> 00:01:18,043
Yes. Both Emperor Go-Yozei
and Emperor Go-Mizuno-o...
23
00:01:18,315 --> 00:01:21,693
wished to make their brothers Emperor,
24
00:01:22,036 --> 00:01:24,518
but the shogunate rejected it.
25
00:01:25,338 --> 00:01:28,599
Therefore, Lord Tadanaga's
succession to Shogun...
26
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:31,582
can never be.
27
00:01:33,097 --> 00:01:34,572
I understand.
28
00:01:42,451 --> 00:01:43,574
But Sire...
29
00:01:43,805 --> 00:01:44,294
What?
30
00:01:44,586 --> 00:01:46,715
The 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi...
31
00:01:47,091 --> 00:01:49,819
was 4th Shogun Ietsuna's younger brother.
32
00:01:50,212 --> 00:01:53,010
There was a great furor then.
33
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:54,758
What do you mean?
34
00:01:55,151 --> 00:01:55,823
Fool!
35
00:01:56,540 --> 00:01:58,108
That's in the future!

Edo Castle
58
00:05:00,694 --> 00:05:05,069
The new mansion in the
North Compound is completed.
59
00:05:05,593 --> 00:05:07,133
Tadanaga is overjoyed.
60
00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:09,518
Thank you, My Lord.
61
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,079
What's wrong?
62
00:05:15,384 --> 00:05:17,126
Please sit down.
63
00:05:21,813 --> 00:05:23,925
The petals are falling.
64
00:05:27,721 --> 00:05:30,112
Did you like the clock from Holland?
65
00:05:30,395 --> 00:05:32,316
How does it compare with
the one from England?
66
00:05:32,755 --> 00:05:34,521
Tadanaga is 17 years old.
67
00:05:35,431 --> 00:05:36,535
Oh, you want a bride for him?
68
00:05:36,942 --> 00:05:38,053
That, too.
69
00:05:38,833 --> 00:05:41,612
When can he have Sunpu?
70
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,272
When? Well...
71
00:05:44,786 --> 00:05:48,116
Are you hesitant because
of Owari and Kishu?
72
00:05:48,677 --> 00:05:50,273
Well, there's that, too.
73
00:05:50,552 --> 00:05:52,896
Tadanaga is the Shogun's
younger brother.
74
00:05:53,272 --> 00:05:54,397
I'm the Shogun.
75
00:05:54,756 --> 00:05:56,505
I'm speaking of the future.
76
00:05:57,138 --> 00:05:57,888
It's cold...
77
00:05:58,242 --> 00:05:59,976
- Please listen to me!
- I am.
78
00:06:01,543 --> 00:06:04,757
Iemitsu was named
noble Senior 3rd Rank.
79
00:06:05,882 --> 00:06:08,696
Owari's Lord Yoshinao is
Junior 3rd Rank.
80
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:11,307
So is Lord Yorinobu of Kishu.
81
00:06:12,727 --> 00:06:16,414
Even Mito's Lord Yorifusa is
Senior 4th Rank, Lower Grade.
82
00:06:17,016 --> 00:06:21,421
But, Tadanaga is
Junior 4th Rank, Lower Grade!
83
00:06:21,797 --> 00:06:22,934
It can't be helped!
84
00:06:23,433 --> 00:06:27,388
Yoshinao, Yorinobu, and
Yorifusa are Tadanaga's uncles.
85
00:06:28,472 --> 00:06:31,519
They are Iemitsu's uncles as well!
86
00:06:31,818 --> 00:06:33,349
Iemitsu is different.
87
00:06:33,972 --> 00:06:38,568
Please ask that Tadanaga
be made Junior 3rd Rank, too.
88
00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:40,933
Don't be willful!
89
00:06:41,262 --> 00:06:43,348
I'm not.
90
00:06:43,771 --> 00:06:46,020
Think of my position a little!
91
00:06:46,745 --> 00:06:49,302
Again, they will say
the 2nd Shogun is henpecked...
92
00:06:49,746 --> 00:06:52,632
and controlled by his wife!
93
00:06:53,086 --> 00:06:54,589
Who says that?!
94
00:06:55,055 --> 00:06:57,165
Who?
I've forgotten.
95
00:06:57,526 --> 00:06:58,540
Tell me!
96
00:07:00,906 --> 00:07:03,026
In that case,
don't be frightened.
97
00:07:03,914 --> 00:07:08,545
Last night, the Dai-Gongen
appeared to me in a dream.
98
00:07:09,015 --> 00:07:13,056
He said, "Here, HIdetada,
are you under Ogou's thumb?"
99
00:07:13,681 --> 00:07:15,087
What lies!
100
00:07:15,369 --> 00:07:16,621
Right, they're lies!
Lies!
101
00:07:16,949 --> 00:07:17,790
Lies!
102
00:07:19,421 --> 00:07:23,454
On April 17, Hidetada visited
the Nikko Toshosha...
103
00:07:23,886 --> 00:07:26,853
for Ieyasu's 7th death anniversary.
104
00:07:27,933 --> 00:07:32,467
Yoshinao of Owari, Yorifusa of Mito,
many daimyo, nobles,
105
00:07:32,735 --> 00:07:35,496
and priests accompanied Hidetada.
106
00:07:38,527 --> 00:07:43,591
I understand you have no heir as yet,
Lord Yoshinao?
107
00:07:44,043 --> 00:07:46,075
Unfortunately, I am clumsy...
108
00:07:46,451 --> 00:07:48,452
There is nothing to fear.
109
00:07:48,863 --> 00:07:51,326
Since the Dai-Gongen
had many children,
110
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:54,629
he will answer your prayers for a son.
111
00:07:58,483 --> 00:08:00,016
Yorifusa...
112
00:08:00,906 --> 00:08:02,202
Have you finished your manju?
113
00:08:04,268 --> 00:08:05,473
Don't eat so much.
114
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:13,269
Reporting.
115
00:08:13,795 --> 00:08:14,733
Are we ready to leave?
116
00:08:14,942 --> 00:08:15,281
No...
117
00:08:15,904 --> 00:08:20,266
Okudaira vassal, Horii Iga-on-kami,
sends an urgent warning.
118
00:08:20,817 --> 00:08:22,406
Urgent warning?
Tell me.
119
00:08:31,422 --> 00:08:36,299
There are suspicious movements
at Utsunomiya Castle.
120
00:08:36,626 --> 00:08:39,143
Please cancel your stay there tonight.
121
00:08:39,578 --> 00:08:40,304
What?
122
00:08:41,628 --> 00:08:42,881
Masazumi...?
123
00:08:59,245 --> 00:09:02,784
Are you saying Honda Masazumi
plans to betray the Shogun?
124
00:09:17,339 --> 00:09:18,278
Masanari...
125
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:22,852
I won't stop in Utsunomiya.
126
00:09:23,434 --> 00:09:26,024
I'll return to Edo
on the Nishikaido Highway.
127
00:09:26,353 --> 00:09:27,199
Yes, Sire.
128
00:09:27,713 --> 00:09:31,461
Go to Utsunomiya
and inform Masazumi.
129
00:09:32,996 --> 00:09:35,696
While there, make an inspection
of the castle.
130
00:09:37,918 --> 00:09:40,901
My Lord,
please refrain from doing so.
131
00:09:41,369 --> 00:09:41,762
Huh?
132
00:09:42,353 --> 00:09:46,855
The Samurai Intermediaries
and nobles accompany us.
133
00:09:47,183 --> 00:09:50,556
Any undue commotion
will embarrass the shogunate.
134
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:55,840
Won't Masazumi be suspicious
if we bypass Utsunomiya?
135
00:09:58,291 --> 00:09:59,261
Masanari...
136
00:10:00,496 --> 00:10:04,997
Tell Honda Masazumi that
Her Ladyship suddenly became ill,
137
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:07,293
so we are proceeding
directly to Edo.
138
00:10:08,598 --> 00:10:09,403
That will do.
139
00:10:14,545 --> 00:10:20,499
First we must determine
if Masazumi has daimyo supporters.
140
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,576
Let's send out spies.
141
00:10:24,967 --> 00:10:27,499
But, surely not Masazumi...?
142
00:10:27,735 --> 00:10:29,092
We must take precautions.
143
00:10:31,975 --> 00:10:33,219
Yoshinao...
144
00:10:33,850 --> 00:10:35,036
Yorifusa...
145
00:10:36,547 --> 00:10:39,296
Don't tell anyone about this.
146
00:10:40,505 --> 00:10:41,643
Of course not!
147
00:10:42,148 --> 00:10:45,020
Please spend tonight at Mibu,
Your Excellency.
148
00:10:46,087 --> 00:10:46,907
Okay.
149
00:10:51,476 --> 00:10:56,704
Back in Edo Castle, Hidetada
ordered a top-secret investigation.
150
00:10:59,597 --> 00:11:00,786
What is Masazumi doing?
151
00:11:02,165 --> 00:11:04,113
He's behaving normally.
152
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:08,004
He was very concerned
about Her Ladyship's condition.
153
00:11:08,269 --> 00:11:08,837
Is that right?
154
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:11,895
After the nobles have left,
155
00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:15,207
we must launch inspection tours
in all the provinces.
156
00:11:16,429 --> 00:11:18,458
I cannot believe it.
157
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,318
Couldn't it be a false charge?
158
00:11:24,714 --> 00:11:25,866
A false charge?
159
00:11:27,271 --> 00:11:30,916
The Okudaira were very close
to the Okubo through marriage.
160
00:11:31,655 --> 00:11:34,725
When Okubo Tadachika
lost his position,
161
00:11:35,147 --> 00:11:38,242
the former lord of Okudaira said it was
a conspiracy by Honda Masanobu.
162
00:11:38,570 --> 00:11:39,320
Wait a second...
163
00:11:39,633 --> 00:11:43,822
Frankly, Utsunomiya belonged
to the Okudaira.
164
00:11:44,384 --> 00:11:48,353
They were unhappy that it
was given to Honda Masazumi.
165
00:11:49,796 --> 00:11:54,417
I've heard that it caused
Princess Kame much grief.
166
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,446
Is that so?
My sister...
167
00:12:00,766 --> 00:12:05,706
My Lord, doubts of Lord Honda's
loyalty are mounting.
168
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:07,531
Do you have proof?
169
00:12:08,777 --> 00:12:14,731
When we stayed at Utsunomiya Castle
on our way to Nikko,
170
00:12:15,124 --> 00:12:19,268
several things in the guest mansion
puzzled me.
171
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:20,477
Such as...
172
00:12:21,045 --> 00:12:25,660
Late at night when the Shogun
wished to go into the garden,
173
00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:27,817
he could not open the door.
174
00:12:28,265 --> 00:12:33,098
The pages say all the Honda vassals
were encamped outside...
175
00:12:33,391 --> 00:12:35,546
with their horses saddled.
176
00:12:36,053 --> 00:12:38,958
For security's sake,
I would order it as well.
177
00:12:39,435 --> 00:12:41,178
Not only that...
178
00:12:41,531 --> 00:12:44,851
the bedchamber was built high.
179
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:47,462
There is ample room for men
to move under the floor.
180
00:12:48,197 --> 00:12:50,166
That's nothing significant.
181
00:12:50,676 --> 00:12:53,677
Do you have a grudge
against Masazumi?
182
00:12:53,994 --> 00:12:55,737
I'm offended, sir!
183
00:12:57,146 --> 00:12:58,900
Forgive me...
184
00:13:01,830 --> 00:13:05,015
Let's watch awhile and
see what happens.
185
00:13:05,433 --> 00:13:08,445
Don't stir up a commotion.
186
00:13:09,461 --> 00:13:10,626
Yes, Sire.
187
00:13:19,374 --> 00:13:23,013
Lord of Utsunomiya Castle,
Honda Masazumi, was 58 years old.
188
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,356
During Ieyasu's rule, Masazumi
and his father Masanobu...
189
00:13:26,662 --> 00:13:29,343
ran the government
as the most powerful officials.
190
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,829
But with Hidetada as Shogun,
Masazumi fell from power...
191
00:13:33,314 --> 00:13:36,468
and many despised him.
192
00:13:37,466 --> 00:13:38,898
Sir Masazumi...
193
00:13:39,812 --> 00:13:41,034
I...
194
00:13:45,729 --> 00:13:48,323
Ah, no...
It's nothing.
195
00:13:59,542 --> 00:14:02,817
In May, due to renovations
on the Main Compound,
196
00:14:03,072 --> 00:14:04,890
Hidetada moved
into the West Compound.
197
00:14:05,211 --> 00:14:07,493
Iemitsu took the Edo mansion
of Honda Tadamasa...
198
00:14:07,864 --> 00:14:10,092
as a temporary residence.
199
00:14:20,905 --> 00:14:22,186
It's Yorifusa.
200
00:14:22,508 --> 00:14:23,632
I've been waiting for you.
201
00:14:23,937 --> 00:14:25,112
What's this?
Goldfish?
202
00:14:25,470 --> 00:14:27,278
Stop that!
Fool!
203
00:14:28,138 --> 00:14:29,248
How silly.
204
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,314
They were a gift
from the Red Hair.
205
00:14:31,595 --> 00:14:33,184
Where's the fun
in playing with goldfish?
206
00:14:34,832 --> 00:14:37,026
Let's go out.
207
00:15:12,808 --> 00:15:14,207
Don't tell anyone now.
208
00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:17,169
Ohisa is with child.
209
00:15:17,488 --> 00:15:18,077
Ohisa?
210
00:15:19,138 --> 00:15:20,199
The handmaiden.
211
00:15:21,505 --> 00:15:23,402
The one with the clear features.
212
00:15:23,903 --> 00:15:24,851
Who made her pregnant?
213
00:15:25,213 --> 00:15:26,420
I did.
214
00:15:26,865 --> 00:15:28,089
That's fine.
215
00:15:28,608 --> 00:15:31,867
But neither the Owari nor Kii lords
have any children.
216
00:15:32,864 --> 00:15:35,979
I, their younger brother,
should not overtake them.
217
00:15:40,275 --> 00:15:42,085
I'll soon be a father.
218
00:15:43,341 --> 00:15:45,932
Tonight will be my last night
of street killing.
219
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:50,161
You should stop
your night revelry, too.
220
00:15:50,942 --> 00:15:52,506
You'll be 3rd Shogun soon.
221
00:15:53,725 --> 00:15:55,506
You dare say that?
222
00:15:55,881 --> 00:15:56,443
Huh?
223
00:15:57,336 --> 00:16:00,099
Who lured me into this
in the first place?
224
00:16:06,289 --> 00:16:07,296
Someone's coming!
225
00:16:17,322 --> 00:16:18,384
Remember the plan?
226
00:16:18,838 --> 00:16:20,869
First you attack,
then I move in.
227
00:16:22,342 --> 00:16:23,401
Don't fail.
228
00:16:23,775 --> 00:16:24,279
Right.
229
00:16:34,779 --> 00:16:35,496
Let's quit!
230
00:16:36,013 --> 00:16:36,651
Huh?
231
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,236
He looks strong!
232
00:16:41,434 --> 00:16:42,293
Come out!
233
00:16:43,170 --> 00:16:43,722
Run!
234
00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:57,597
On July 1,
somewhere in Kojimachi, Edo,
235
00:16:57,925 --> 00:17:00,577
Tokugawa Yorifusa's
first child was born.
236
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:04,256
The mother was Ohisa,
daughter of Mito vassal Tani Sigenori.
237
00:17:05,767 --> 00:17:08,818
No, it was not I.
238
00:17:09,154 --> 00:17:12,577
The child is Takemaru,
later to be Yorishige.
239
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,110
He's my older brother.
240
00:17:15,601 --> 00:17:18,203
I was not born yet.
241
00:17:26,616 --> 00:17:31,658
As life comes into this world,
so does life depart.
242
00:17:32,054 --> 00:17:36,237
Hidetada's 2nd daughter Tama,
wife of Maeda Toshitsune,
243
00:17:36,581 --> 00:17:40,680
died on July 3
at Kanazawa Castle in Kaga.
244
00:17:41,175 --> 00:17:43,505
She was 24 years old.
245
00:17:50,176 --> 00:17:52,168
Pitiful child.
246
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,113
Was there ever a child
as pitiful as Tama?
247
00:17:59,257 --> 00:18:05,618
She was torn from her father and
mother at the tender age of three.
248
00:18:06,103 --> 00:18:11,398
How lonely you must have been, Tama.
249
00:18:13,571 --> 00:18:15,726
I feel so sorry for her.
250
00:18:17,496 --> 00:18:23,462
If she were in Edo,
we could have attended her death.
251
00:18:23,791 --> 00:18:27,713
Otama must surely resent us.
252
00:18:34,104 --> 00:18:35,781
Mother...
253
00:18:37,361 --> 00:18:41,543
We sent a small child to the
farthest lands in the north.
254
00:18:43,173 --> 00:18:46,126
How can she not hate us?!
255
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:48,752
Forgive me.
256
00:18:49,606 --> 00:18:51,214
It was for the shogunate.
257
00:18:51,715 --> 00:18:53,955
Women are not tools!
258
00:18:54,589 --> 00:18:55,832
I know...
259
00:18:56,347 --> 00:19:01,143
Osen and Okatsu are also
suffering for the shogunate!
260
00:19:04,331 --> 00:19:08,691
The Tosho Dai-Gongen is a monster!
261
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,409
Be strong!
262
00:19:17,936 --> 00:19:20,124
Oh, woe!
263
00:19:22,834 --> 00:19:27,611
I can still remember that terrible day!
264
00:19:31,533 --> 00:19:33,410
Otama...
265
00:19:47,305 --> 00:19:48,786
No!
No!
266
00:19:50,238 --> 00:19:51,291
Otama...
267
00:19:53,144 --> 00:19:57,505
I don't want to go!
I don't want to go anywhere!
268
00:19:57,996 --> 00:20:02,521
Otama, Kaga is a fine place.
There are no monsters there.
269
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:06,132
Be happy there.
270
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:11,636
Mother!
271
00:20:17,697 --> 00:20:19,337
Otama!
272
00:20:34,635 --> 00:20:37,230
I don't want to go anywhere!
273
00:20:38,058 --> 00:20:40,283
Mother!
274
00:21:23,789 --> 00:21:27,022
Lady Ogou was now 50 years old.
275
00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:30,618
In her grief,
she took to her bed.
276
00:21:40,009 --> 00:21:46,775
Tokugawa Tadanaga (Hidetada's 2nd son)
277
00:21:58,463 --> 00:22:02,419
Am I worthy of being Shogun?
278
00:22:04,595 --> 00:22:08,888
The vassals must be disgusted
with my bungling.
279
00:22:09,216 --> 00:22:11,887
They must be saying,
"The 2nd Shogun has no ability."
280
00:22:12,239 --> 00:22:15,295
"Compared to the Dai-Gongen,
he is nothing."
281
00:22:15,656 --> 00:22:17,490
Surely they must say so secretly.
282
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:22,187
I have heard no such talk.
283
00:22:23,315 --> 00:22:28,061
They may not say it aloud,
but they all think it.
284
00:22:29,361 --> 00:22:31,191
I'm unsuccessful in relations
with the Court.
285
00:22:31,624 --> 00:22:34,671
I failed to stamp out Christianity.
286
00:22:35,548 --> 00:22:37,907
My chief vassals turn away from me.
287
00:22:38,311 --> 00:22:41,220
I cannot even punish Tadanao,
who refuses to come before me.
288
00:22:41,753 --> 00:22:45,752
And, I cannot control the behavior
of my heir, Iemitsu.
289
00:22:46,882 --> 00:22:51,255
You have fine qualities of your own,
Your Excellency.
290
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:53,064
Fine qualities?
291
00:22:53,426 --> 00:22:58,815
Namely, you excel in Japanese
and Chinese classics,
292
00:22:59,161 --> 00:23:03,690
and you can see into
the heart of many matters.
293
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,365
Moreover, you exercise
extreme discretion.
294
00:23:08,881 --> 00:23:12,769
And you possess a
soul of rare compassion.
295
00:23:14,099 --> 00:23:16,694
In other words,
I'm indecisive?
296
00:23:16,957 --> 00:23:18,809
By no means.
297
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:24,506
What should I do about Iemitsu?
298
00:23:25,758 --> 00:23:28,209
He's headed toward his own ruin.
299
00:23:28,537 --> 00:23:31,196
There is nothing to fear.
300
00:23:32,850 --> 00:23:36,554
Just as water takes
the shape of its container,
301
00:23:36,930 --> 00:23:42,290
a man will grow
into the position he is given.
302
00:23:42,811 --> 00:23:47,405
But Iemitsu continues his wild behavior.
303
00:23:48,072 --> 00:23:51,761
Your Excellency,
among the vassals,
304
00:23:52,149 --> 00:23:57,450
it is believed that Lord Tadanaga
will become Shogun.
305
00:23:58,448 --> 00:23:59,503
Why?
306
00:23:59,969 --> 00:24:10,292
For one, Doi Toshikatsu's sister
was Lord Tadanaga's wetnurse.
307
00:24:11,795 --> 00:24:13,263
That's absurd.
308
00:24:13,731 --> 00:24:15,955
Another reason is that...
309
00:24:16,311 --> 00:24:20,186
Lord Iemitsu will have nothing
to do with women.
310
00:24:20,670 --> 00:24:25,451
The postponement of his marriage
with the Takatsukasa...
311
00:24:25,905 --> 00:24:29,410
is viewed with suspicion.
312
00:24:29,785 --> 00:24:33,515
The castle is rife with rumors
that Lord Iemitsu...
313
00:24:33,863 --> 00:24:38,202
will eventually be disowned.
314
00:24:39,443 --> 00:24:41,130
That's outrageous.
315
00:24:41,601 --> 00:24:55,207
Because of this situation,
Lord Iemitsu is naturally upset.
316
00:24:57,634 --> 00:24:59,157
What should I do?
317
00:24:59,673 --> 00:25:07,243
The Dai-Gongen made you
Shogun at an early age,
318
00:25:07,646 --> 00:25:19,692
and he governed the land
as the Ogosho.
319
00:25:22,647 --> 00:25:26,068
Are you suggesting that I retire?
320
00:25:26,444 --> 00:25:28,459
By no means.
321
00:25:29,056 --> 00:25:34,342
I was only giving an example.
322
00:25:35,382 --> 00:25:36,946
Don't hesitate.
323
00:25:37,272 --> 00:25:41,070
Archbishop, tell me exactly
what you believe.
324
00:25:42,544 --> 00:25:47,867
Then I respectfully submit...
325
00:25:49,836 --> 00:25:54,713
if possible, it must be made known
here and abroad...
326
00:25:55,181 --> 00:26:05,564
that Lord Iemitsu
will surely be the 3rd Shogun.
327
00:26:44,755 --> 00:26:47,443
Arrested by the Nagasaki Magistrate,
328
00:26:47,724 --> 00:26:51,590
the 55 Christian followers
will be executed as ordered.
329
00:26:55,771 --> 00:26:58,915
Our envoy reports
that he has failed...
330
00:26:59,326 --> 00:27:01,386
to settle the internal discord
in the Mogami house.
331
00:27:02,055 --> 00:27:02,992
What?
332
00:27:03,428 --> 00:27:06,381
Vassals Matsune, Yamanobe,
and Tateoka...
333
00:27:06,650 --> 00:27:09,133
refuse to work for a resolution.
334
00:27:10,086 --> 00:27:11,164
Disloyal wretches!
335
00:27:12,169 --> 00:27:14,281
How dare they
ignore shogunate judgment!
336
00:27:15,290 --> 00:27:18,227
I ordered that they
all work together...
337
00:27:18,547 --> 00:27:20,774
to support their you lord, Yoshitoshi!
338
00:27:23,713 --> 00:27:25,577
What shall we do, Your Excellency?
339
00:27:25,916 --> 00:27:26,682
Abolish their clan!
340
00:27:29,386 --> 00:27:31,683
Confiscate Dewa 570,000 koku!
341
00:27:32,468 --> 00:27:33,525
Yes, Sire.
342
00:27:33,747 --> 00:27:34,276
That's all!
343
00:27:39,949 --> 00:27:44,018
On August 21, the house of the
illustrious Mogami of Yamagata...
344
00:27:44,326 --> 00:27:46,700
was abolished and
their lands confiscated.
345
00:27:47,107 --> 00:27:49,043
Yamagata Castle
346
00:27:49,466 --> 00:27:51,081
After Mogami Yoshiaki's death,
347
00:27:51,467 --> 00:27:53,686
the house had been embroiled
in succession struggles.
348
00:27:54,951 --> 00:27:59,358
It is the Shogun's wish that you,
Kato Yoshiaki,
349
00:27:59,731 --> 00:28:03,880
assist in Lord Iemitsu's
armor-donning ceremony.
350
00:28:04,844 --> 00:28:06,156
The Armor Donning?
351
00:28:06,891 --> 00:28:11,078
It's an honor to be long cherished
by your house.
352
00:28:12,234 --> 00:28:14,631
I'm not fit for the task.
353
00:28:15,016 --> 00:28:16,161
The Shogun has so ordered it.
354
00:28:16,469 --> 00:28:18,475
I'm a clumsy man!
355
00:28:20,221 --> 00:28:21,735
I know.
356
00:28:22,610 --> 00:28:24,111
Why must I?
357
00:28:24,484 --> 00:28:28,085
If the greatest warrior
of our times...
358
00:28:28,412 --> 00:28:31,538
assists the next Shogun
in his armor-donning ceremony,
359
00:28:31,986 --> 00:28:34,494
the Shogun will be blessed
with good fortune in battle.
360
00:28:35,488 --> 00:28:37,643
The greatest warrior of our times?
361
00:28:37,987 --> 00:28:42,159
You were one of the
7 Great Spearmen at Shizugatake.
362
00:28:43,179 --> 00:28:47,005
You fought in Shikoku, Kyushu,
363
00:28:47,333 --> 00:28:49,677
the Odawara and Korea campaigns,
364
00:28:50,067 --> 00:28:53,411
the Battle of Sekigahara,
and the Osaka Campaigns.
365
00:28:54,085 --> 00:28:58,331
Over the years,
you have won many, many honors.
366
00:29:03,253 --> 00:29:05,692
Ah, well...
367
00:29:06,084 --> 00:29:08,114
I'm the only survivor?
368
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,786
September 15
369
00:29:47,301 --> 00:29:48,363
That hurts!
370
00:29:48,631 --> 00:29:50,380
Bear it!
Don't be rude!
371
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,158
Iemitsu...
372
00:30:06,397 --> 00:30:07,427
Stand.
373
00:30:10,616 --> 00:30:11,598
The sword...
374
00:30:38,699 --> 00:30:40,556
Magnificent.
375
00:30:43,478 --> 00:30:45,062
It suits you well.
376
00:30:56,153 --> 00:30:57,646
Congratulations.
377
00:30:59,130 --> 00:31:00,907
Congratulations.
378
00:31:05,397 --> 00:31:08,341
Tokugawa Yoshinao of Owari...
379
00:31:08,943 --> 00:31:11,243
Tokugawa Yorifusa of Mito...
380
00:31:12,726 --> 00:31:15,371
and Tadanaga, listen well.
381
00:31:16,994 --> 00:31:19,583
When Iemitsu becomes 3rd Shogun,
382
00:31:19,976 --> 00:31:23,489
you must all serve him as his vassals.
383
00:31:24,261 --> 00:31:25,291
Understand?
384
00:31:27,276 --> 00:31:28,986
If you should fight among yourselves,
385
00:31:29,199 --> 00:31:30,870
your lands will be confiscated.
386
00:31:31,764 --> 00:31:32,825
Yes, Your Excellency.
387
00:31:35,199 --> 00:31:36,699
Tadanaga...
Do you understand?
388
00:31:37,902 --> 00:31:38,749
Yes.
389
00:31:40,684 --> 00:31:42,089
My Lord...
390
00:31:42,535 --> 00:31:47,265
Please show Her Ladyship
how splendid you look.
391
00:31:47,878 --> 00:31:48,911
I refuse.
392
00:31:49,763 --> 00:31:50,809
Why?
393
00:31:51,733 --> 00:31:55,144
Ah, it will make her very happy.
394
00:32:03,021 --> 00:32:04,875
It's so heavy, I can't walk.
395
00:32:05,139 --> 00:32:06,280
Pull yourself together, fool!
396
00:32:19,314 --> 00:32:20,673
My Lord!
397
00:32:26,086 --> 00:32:30,752
Send Honda Masazumi
to take Yamagata Castle.
398
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:33,236
Masazumi?
399
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:38,534
When the guest mansion
was built at Utsunomiya Castle,
400
00:32:38,940 --> 00:32:41,957
a hundred of the Negoro bonzes
who helped...
401
00:32:42,458 --> 00:32:44,911
were secretly killed.
402
00:32:46,477 --> 00:32:48,885
Our secret investigation
has revealed this.
403
00:33:05,895 --> 00:33:08,007
Lord of Utsunomiya Castle,
Honda Masazumi,
404
00:33:08,325 --> 00:33:12,036
led 3,000 men to take Yamagata Castle.
405
00:33:15,726 --> 00:33:22,921
And on October 1 a shogunate envoy
arrived at Yamagata Castle.
406
00:33:27,521 --> 00:33:29,003
Honda Masazumi...
407
00:33:29,915 --> 00:33:32,225
Though you are a high shogunate official,
408
00:33:32,632 --> 00:33:35,692
you have recently engaged
in suspicious behavior.
409
00:33:36,426 --> 00:33:42,293
You are suspected of breaking
the 11 Articles.
410
00:33:46,643 --> 00:33:49,202
It concerned the famous Utsunomiya
trap ceiling, didn't it?
411
00:33:49,675 --> 00:33:50,622
Trap ceiling?
412
00:33:51,075 --> 00:33:53,374
The ceiling above the Shogun's seat...
413
00:33:53,716 --> 00:33:55,166
was rigged to come crashing down.
414
00:33:55,463 --> 00:33:56,494
That's a black lie!
415
00:33:57,703 --> 00:34:00,047
The planks on the bathroom floor
were removable.
416
00:34:00,375 --> 00:34:02,895
Under the floor there
were swords sticking up.
417
00:34:03,599 --> 00:34:04,514
A fabrication!
418
00:34:05,711 --> 00:34:08,265
Then Honda Masazumi's betrayal...
419
00:34:08,595 --> 00:34:09,801
There's no motive for it.
420
00:34:10,096 --> 00:34:10,752
Motive?
421
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,767
Was he framed, then?
422
00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:16,551
Probably by the Okudaira.
423
00:34:16,846 --> 00:34:19,128
Or even by Doi Toshikatsu.
424
00:34:19,426 --> 00:34:20,441
Doi Toshikatsu?
425
00:34:20,954 --> 00:34:22,566
We can't say for certain,
426
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:25,566
but behind this incident lay
the smoldering hostility...
427
00:34:25,894 --> 00:34:27,909
between the Okubo and Honda houses.
428
00:34:28,379 --> 00:34:30,018
Okubo and Honda houses?
429
00:34:30,378 --> 00:34:33,145
Sukesaburo, remember the
ruin of Okubo Tadachika?
430
00:34:33,489 --> 00:34:34,754
I remember very clearly.
431
00:34:35,162 --> 00:34:37,840
Tadachika was sent to Kyoto
by the Ogosho...
432
00:34:38,177 --> 00:34:40,740
to destroy a Christian temple,
433
00:34:41,058 --> 00:34:42,617
and Odawara Castle
was stolen in his absence!
434
00:34:42,947 --> 00:34:45,583
And Masazumi,
while taking over Yamagata Castle,
435
00:34:45,912 --> 00:34:48,303
lost Utsunomiya Castle.
436
00:34:49,038 --> 00:34:50,058
Isn't that exactly the same?
437
00:34:50,381 --> 00:34:51,043
I see.
438
00:34:51,317 --> 00:34:53,413
They took revenge on Masazumi.
439
00:34:53,763 --> 00:34:56,366
So the guilty ones are those
close to the Okubo...
440
00:34:56,681 --> 00:34:58,804
The Okudaira!
441
00:34:59,602 --> 00:35:01,498
They are extremely suspicious.
442
00:35:01,882 --> 00:35:04,103
Doi Toshikatsu is innocent, then?
443
00:35:04,634 --> 00:35:05,742
You can never tell!
444
00:35:06,164 --> 00:35:09,469
Senior official Masazumi
was an annoyance to Toshikatsu.
445
00:35:09,867 --> 00:35:12,187
Then we will never know the truth?
446
00:35:14,121 --> 00:35:16,866
By the way, Sherlock...
447
00:35:18,727 --> 00:35:19,632
Don't get smart!
448
00:35:23,992 --> 00:35:28,479
Thus, Honda Masazumi
lost Utsunomiya 155,000 koku...
449
00:35:28,776 --> 00:35:31,338
and was banished to Yuri in Dewa.
450
00:35:32,056 --> 00:35:34,843
But, he made little protest
and submitted calmly.
451
00:35:35,407 --> 00:35:38,220
Perhaps it was because he felt
it was useless to resist,
452
00:35:38,495 --> 00:35:41,642
or that he would
eventually be found innocent.
453
00:35:42,028 --> 00:35:46,355
The truth is not known.
454
00:35:57,393 --> 00:35:58,685
Do you feel better?
455
00:35:59,202 --> 00:36:00,888
Thank you, My Lord.
456
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:04,788
Word came from Lady Acha.
457
00:36:05,397 --> 00:36:06,638
The Court held...
458
00:36:07,016 --> 00:36:08,995
a special performance of sacred music
and dancing...
459
00:36:09,477 --> 00:36:11,438
to pray for your speedy recovery.
460
00:36:12,852 --> 00:36:14,260
I'm unworthy.
461
00:36:16,308 --> 00:36:17,517
How does this feel?
462
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:19,250
Thank you, My Lord.
463
00:36:22,511 --> 00:36:24,557
I have something important to tell you.
464
00:36:26,496 --> 00:36:29,307
I'm retiring next year.
465
00:36:30,338 --> 00:36:31,216
Eh?
466
00:36:32,339 --> 00:36:34,778
I've given this much consideration.
467
00:36:37,699 --> 00:36:38,825
Why?
468
00:36:40,373 --> 00:36:43,746
Archbishop Tenkai says the
quickest way to reform Iemitsu...
469
00:36:44,125 --> 00:36:49,327
is to make him Shogun and
let him see his own abilities.
470
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:53,905
Iemitsu is only nineteen.
471
00:36:54,693 --> 00:36:56,265
He will be twenty next year.
472
00:36:56,906 --> 00:36:58,375
Will he be alright?
473
00:36:58,844 --> 00:37:00,345
Don't worry.
474
00:37:00,835 --> 00:37:04,960
Until then I'll straighten out
the kinks in government...
475
00:37:05,476 --> 00:37:08,908
and pluck out all the bad elements.
476
00:37:10,128 --> 00:37:14,440
Though I'm retiring,
I won't withdraw from government.
477
00:37:14,829 --> 00:37:16,891
I'm Iemitsu's guardian.
478
00:37:17,347 --> 00:37:20,595
I must instruct him in
the particulars of governance.
479
00:37:21,441 --> 00:37:24,017
And in the making of an heir.
480
00:37:24,017 --> 00:37:24,710
Huh?
481
00:37:25,753 --> 00:37:29,961
As the Ogosho,
I must keep watch over the daimyo.
482
00:37:32,019 --> 00:37:34,269
Will you be moving to Sunpu?
483
00:37:34,869 --> 00:37:36,708
Sunpu is too far away.
484
00:37:38,538 --> 00:37:42,750
I'll give it to Tadanaga as you wished.
485
00:37:43,234 --> 00:37:45,140
Tadanaga will receive Sunpu?
486
00:37:45,712 --> 00:37:46,791
Happy?
487
00:37:48,972 --> 00:37:50,988
Thank you, My Lord.
488
00:37:52,517 --> 00:37:55,768
How about Odawara
for our retirement home?
489
00:37:56,581 --> 00:37:57,459
Odawara?
490
00:37:58,513 --> 00:38:01,688
Odawara is close to Edo
and to Sunpu.
491
00:38:02,595 --> 00:38:04,892
There are also hot springs
in Hakone and Atami.
492
00:38:05,579 --> 00:38:08,543
It is the perfect place
to cure your illness.
493
00:38:15,015 --> 00:38:16,507
Live a long life.
494
00:38:18,973 --> 00:38:22,115
I've had a happy life.
495
00:38:24,251 --> 00:38:27,898
I can die with no regrets.
496
00:38:30,129 --> 00:38:32,455
Don't be silly.
497
00:38:33,801 --> 00:38:37,008
What would I do without you?
498
00:38:38,947 --> 00:38:41,496
I'm nothing without you.
499
00:38:43,632 --> 00:38:45,243
What's so funny?
500
00:38:46,453 --> 00:38:49,570
I'm ticklish here.
501
00:38:50,587 --> 00:38:51,910
Forgive me.
502
00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:27,515
October 8,
503
00:39:27,848 --> 00:39:31,843
Matsudaira Tadanao's vassal,
Honda Narishige,
504
00:39:32,173 --> 00:39:36,251
suddenly came to Edo,
asking to see Doi Toshikatsu.
505
00:39:37,013 --> 00:39:43,392
Tadanao was Hidetada's nephew
and son of the late Yuki Hideyasu.
506
00:39:50,469 --> 00:39:56,089
He has insulted the shogunate
by feigning illness...
507
00:39:56,467 --> 00:39:59,548
and ignoring repeated orders to appear.
508
00:39:59,846 --> 00:40:01,064
This is unforgivable.
509
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,721
I am deeply sorry.
510
00:40:04,197 --> 00:40:07,032
A lord's crimes are due
to incompetent vassals.
511
00:40:08,002 --> 00:40:10,348
You will not avoid punishment either.
512
00:40:11,473 --> 00:40:14,604
I fully accept it, sir.
513
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:18,220
When is Lord Tadano
making his appearance?
514
00:40:21,574 --> 00:40:26,597
Since he is kin, the Shogun
is most concerned about this.
515
00:40:30,739 --> 00:40:33,928
There is nothing more that we can do!
516
00:40:34,698 --> 00:40:35,635
What?
517
00:40:37,055 --> 00:40:40,353
Countless vassals have been killed...
518
00:40:40,896 --> 00:40:43,133
for urging our lord to come to Edo!
519
00:40:45,624 --> 00:40:49,350
Our lord can no longer reason.
520
00:40:50,704 --> 00:40:55,192
He won't listen to what anyone says.
521
00:40:56,193 --> 00:41:01,853
He drinks and swings his sword
about in drunken fits of frenzy.
522
00:41:03,715 --> 00:41:05,742
Why don't you stop him?
523
00:41:06,221 --> 00:41:08,568
Tie him up and drag
him here if you must.
524
00:41:09,487 --> 00:41:10,947
Not that, please!
525
00:41:11,267 --> 00:41:12,632
Isn't that true loyalty?!
526
00:41:14,661 --> 00:41:17,935
Though a lord may
be lacking in stature,
527
00:41:18,277 --> 00:41:21,749
his vassals must never fail him.
528
00:41:22,817 --> 00:41:26,433
Lord Tadanao is our master!
529
00:41:34,227 --> 00:41:38,784
Now we can only appeal
to the shogunate...
530
00:41:39,197 --> 00:41:42,498
to deal with our master.
531
00:41:43,254 --> 00:41:49,892
I, Narishige, have come here
to make that very request!
532
00:41:59,761 --> 00:42:00,560
Hara-kiri.
533
00:42:01,074 --> 00:42:02,704
We can't make allowances for kin.
534
00:42:02,987 --> 00:42:03,642
Please wait!
535
00:42:04,685 --> 00:42:06,198
There are other daimyo to consider.
536
00:42:06,407 --> 00:42:06,900
Please!
537
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:08,496
Iemitsu and Tadanaga
can learn from this.
538
00:42:08,765 --> 00:42:10,674
Lord Tadanao is
Princess Katsu's husband!
539
00:42:10,904 --> 00:42:12,050
I care nothing about that!
540
00:42:12,590 --> 00:42:14,014
The Dai-Gongen reduced
Lord Tadateru's punishment...
541
00:42:14,404 --> 00:42:16,232
to deprive him of samurai privileges!
542
00:42:16,890 --> 00:42:17,841
I'm Hidetada!
543
00:42:18,341 --> 00:42:21,153
Please allow me to handle the matter!
544
00:42:21,357 --> 00:42:21,880
No!
545
00:42:23,092 --> 00:42:24,927
I'll send a messenger to Kitanosho!
546
00:42:25,421 --> 00:42:26,967
Please be patient!
547
00:42:27,295 --> 00:42:27,801
Toshikatsu!
548
00:42:28,818 --> 00:42:29,544
Six months!
549
00:42:30,295 --> 00:42:31,629
I've waited for six months!
550
00:42:33,786 --> 00:42:34,983
Please, Sire!
551
00:42:46,376 --> 00:42:47,490
Your Excellency...
