This is the city of Sendai.
2
00:00:12,805 --> 00:00:18,419
Today, May 24th, is the death
anniversary of Date Masamune.
3
00:00:20,446 --> 00:00:24,453
In Zuihoden, which houses
Masamune's remains,
4
00:00:24,453 --> 00:00:28,058
the 352nd memorial
service will be held.
5
00:00:39,571 --> 00:00:44,476
18th MASTER OF THE DATE
DATE YASUMUNE
6
00:00:45,571 --> 00:00:51,621
Attending are Watanabe Ken
who portrays Masamune,
7
00:00:51,621 --> 00:00:58,016
and Sakurada Junko who
portrays Mego in our drama.
8
00:00:59,218 --> 00:01:03,561
DESCENDANT OF ONINIWA SAGETSU
- How do you like our drama?
9
00:01:04,311 --> 00:01:06,594
It's heartening to see my
ancestor on screen.
10
00:01:07,006 --> 00:01:09,407
DESCENDANT OF
SHIROISHI MUNEZANE
11
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:15,513
I strive for conduct that
will never shame my ancestor.
12
00:01:16,434 --> 00:01:19,083
Nuinosuke was
a man of sincerity.
13
00:01:19,395 --> 00:01:22,143
DESCENDANT OF
OBARA NUINOSUKE
14
00:01:22,374 --> 00:01:27,459
I valued sincerity and the truth
when I was a police officer.
15
00:01:28,144 --> 00:01:29,737
ASHINA DESCENDANT
16
00:01:30,016 --> 00:01:34,166
I view the show
with mixed feelings...
17
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:37,492
...watching my ancestors
on television.
18
00:01:37,724 --> 00:01:40,889
What do you think of
your ancestor, Masamune?
19
00:01:41,527 --> 00:01:43,370
Even after 400 years,
20
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:48,404
Masamune is the center of
national attention.
21
00:01:48,404 --> 00:01:51,174
He is truly a superstar.
22
00:01:52,705 --> 00:01:55,912
This was a report on Date
Masamune's memorial service.
23
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:06,280

Director:
YOSHIMURA Yoshiyuki
40
00:04:33,633 --> 00:04:36,204
Early in 1590...
41
00:04:36,204 --> 00:04:40,943
Hideyoshi ordered an attack
on the Hojo at Odawara,
42
00:04:40,943 --> 00:04:44,353
and demanded that
Masamune participate.
43
00:04:47,978 --> 00:04:50,350
Masamune's mother,
Lady of the East...
44
00:04:50,883 --> 00:04:56,001
was living in the West
Palace of Kurokawa Castle.
45
00:04:59,358 --> 00:05:00,996
Our marching to Odawara...
46
00:05:00,996 --> 00:05:04,873
would mean complete
submission to the regent.
47
00:05:04,873 --> 00:05:06,899
It cannot be helped.
48
00:05:06,899 --> 00:05:11,609
It is difficult to change
the tides of fate.
49
00:05:11,609 --> 00:05:14,150
It also difficult
to change Masamune.
50
00:05:14,574 --> 00:05:16,815
Now that he has
defeated the Ashina...
51
00:05:16,815 --> 00:05:19,914
and extended our domain
as never before,
52
00:05:19,914 --> 00:05:24,593
he will be reluctant
to submit to the regent.
53
00:05:24,593 --> 00:05:26,496
Not "submit."
54
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,262
The regent recognizes
Date power.
55
00:05:30,262 --> 00:05:34,195
That is why he had Maeda
Toshiie and Asano Nagamasa...
56
00:05:34,195 --> 00:05:37,469
inform us that he would
overlook the Aizu incident.
57
00:05:37,469 --> 00:05:43,779
Our lord is young...
30 years younger than the regent.
58
00:05:43,779 --> 00:05:45,783
He may surrender
his power for now,
59
00:05:45,783 --> 00:05:51,754
but someday he will
surely recover it.
60
00:05:51,754 --> 00:05:54,383
Why not tell Masamune?!
61
00:05:54,383 --> 00:05:58,088
I talk till I'm
blue in the face.
62
00:05:58,088 --> 00:06:03,400
However, he stubbornly
refuses to listen.
63
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,094
We will have to rely
on your help, my lady.
64
00:06:11,631 --> 00:06:14,976
You've gotten good!
65
00:06:14,976 --> 00:06:15,726
How's that?
66
00:06:16,502 --> 00:06:18,209
Look at my bishop!
67
00:06:23,876 --> 00:06:25,056
Checkmate.
68
00:06:27,878 --> 00:06:31,319
You're trapped.
I win.
69
00:06:32,351 --> 00:06:34,992
Show respect for
your older brother!
70
00:06:34,992 --> 00:06:39,432
You charge,
and use little strategy.
71
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,399
You asked for it!
One more game!
72
00:06:43,429 --> 00:06:45,000
It's Nuinosuke.
73
00:06:45,531 --> 00:06:46,943
What is it?
74
00:06:47,967 --> 00:06:49,939
Lady of the East is here.
75
00:06:54,106 --> 00:06:55,141
Hello, Mother.
76
00:06:55,141 --> 00:06:55,891
Please have a seat.
77
00:06:57,109 --> 00:06:58,679
How are you doing?
78
00:06:58,679 --> 00:07:00,318
As you can see...
79
00:07:00,946 --> 00:07:03,256
I'm glad you two
are so close.
80
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:06,263
Kojiro beat me three
times in a row.
81
00:07:06,263 --> 00:07:08,822
I'm disgusted with myself.
82
00:07:08,822 --> 00:07:13,294
Fine. Defeat brings
victory, they say.
83
00:07:16,996 --> 00:07:19,670
Are you going to
defy the regent?
84
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:21,872
He's the defiant one.
85
00:07:21,872 --> 00:07:24,381
I didn't say I was
going to attack Kyoto.
86
00:07:24,381 --> 00:07:26,906
Attacking the Satake
is the same thing.
87
00:07:26,906 --> 00:07:31,516
I want to show Hideyoshi
I'm the lord of Ou.
88
00:07:31,844 --> 00:07:34,017
I commend your spirit.
89
00:07:34,017 --> 00:07:36,754
Your late father
must be proud.
90
00:07:36,754 --> 00:07:37,886
Thank you.
91
00:07:37,886 --> 00:07:41,228
However, you must know
when to give in.
92
00:07:41,228 --> 00:07:43,927
What good will come of
angering the regent?
93
00:07:43,927 --> 00:07:46,527
Your concern is justified.
94
00:07:46,527 --> 00:07:49,565
But things are improving
every day.
95
00:07:49,565 --> 00:07:52,667
No, they are getting worse!
96
00:07:52,667 --> 00:07:54,304
Please listen.
97
00:07:55,835 --> 00:07:57,940
When I conquered the Ashina,
98
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:02,218
Hideyoshi was furious and
ordered the Date destroyed.
99
00:08:02,942 --> 00:08:04,979
However, that changed,
100
00:08:04,979 --> 00:08:09,117
and he said he'd forgive me
if I went to Kyoto.
101
00:08:10,149 --> 00:08:15,591
But now, all I have to do is
march to Odawara.
102
00:08:16,122 --> 00:08:18,500
Even a saint can
lose patience.
103
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:20,128
If you refuse to go,
and Odawara falls,
104
00:08:20,128 --> 00:08:23,868
he'll attack the Date.
105
00:08:23,868 --> 00:08:24,704
Probably.
106
00:08:24,704 --> 00:08:27,836
There is no time to lose!
107
00:08:27,836 --> 00:08:32,113
Mother,
the Date now rule the Ou!
108
00:08:32,938 --> 00:08:37,009
The Ou clans are waiting
to see what I will do.
109
00:08:38,010 --> 00:08:39,853
If I submit to the regent,
110
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:43,055
the others will
all follow suit.
111
00:08:44,083 --> 00:08:49,055
Then Togoku samurai will be
called cowards and be ridiculed!
112
00:08:49,855 --> 00:08:53,096
Do you think you
can beat Hideyoshi?
113
00:08:53,626 --> 00:08:54,866
I don't know.
114
00:08:54,866 --> 00:08:58,068
The clan's safety
is more important!
115
00:08:58,068 --> 00:08:59,940
Not more than
samurai honor!
116
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:03,003
What if our clan
should be ruined?!
117
00:09:03,003 --> 00:09:06,016
Not necessarily.
Look at Satsuma.
118
00:09:06,016 --> 00:09:07,574
Satsuma?
119
00:09:07,574 --> 00:09:12,145
Shimazau Yoshihisa fought
the regent's troops.
120
00:09:12,145 --> 00:09:17,008
He lost, but wasn't killed,
and retained his lands.
121
00:09:17,216 --> 00:09:20,560
It was because he was
considered a warrior...
122
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:24,008
worthy of ruling Kyushu.
123
00:09:27,359 --> 00:09:29,100
March 1...
124
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:33,875
Hideyoshi left Kyoto with an
army to conquer Odawara.
125
00:09:33,875 --> 00:09:36,369
We cannot avoid trouble now.
126
00:09:37,403 --> 00:09:40,012
Lord Masamune underestimates
the situation.
127
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:43,916
We can't leave this
to the younger ones.
128
00:09:43,916 --> 00:09:49,084
Lord Masamune's advisors
merely swagger,
129
00:09:49,084 --> 00:09:52,391
and do not stress the
seriousness of the situation.
130
00:09:52,391 --> 00:09:55,094
Who?
Shigezane?
131
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:57,157
Kojuro?
132
00:09:57,157 --> 00:10:00,429
There are many that we
must keep away from him.
133
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:03,569
How do we do that?
134
00:10:04,597 --> 00:10:09,103
Masamune would never let
a trusted confidante go.
135
00:10:12,738 --> 00:10:13,273
What?
136
00:10:13,273 --> 00:10:16,619
We must do it
for the clan!
137
00:10:16,619 --> 00:10:18,814
Lord Morishige,
what is it?
138
00:10:18,814 --> 00:10:26,127
We must seize Lord Masamune
and confine him at Yonezawa Castle!
139
00:10:26,552 --> 00:10:27,963
Imprison him?!
140
00:10:27,963 --> 00:10:29,898
Then you can disown him,
141
00:10:29,898 --> 00:10:33,994
and Lord Kojiro can lead the
Date army to Odawara!
142
00:10:33,994 --> 00:10:36,006
Watch what you say!
143
00:10:36,006 --> 00:10:38,565
There is no other way.
144
00:10:38,565 --> 00:10:40,599
Masamune is a cautious man.
145
00:10:40,599 --> 00:10:43,914
What if it should cause
internal strife?
146
00:10:43,914 --> 00:10:49,546
The majority of retainers
admire Lord Kojiro's wisdom.
147
00:10:49,546 --> 00:10:55,990
They would be relieved
if he took charge.
148
00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:58,092
This is serious.
149
00:10:58,092 --> 00:11:00,723
If you approve,
Lady of the East,
150
00:11:00,723 --> 00:11:05,264
gunnery master Onoda Kazuma
and his men will plan it.
151
00:11:05,691 --> 00:11:10,173
It might work.
We must take action.
152
00:11:10,596 --> 00:11:12,305
Your decision...
153
00:11:12,305 --> 00:11:16,111
Masamune must have
some discretion.
154
00:11:16,111 --> 00:11:18,706
He might be feigning
stubbornness...
155
00:11:18,706 --> 00:11:19,807
to see what everyone will do!
156
00:11:19,807 --> 00:11:21,511
It's too late for that!
157
00:11:21,511 --> 00:11:24,948
Leave this to me.
158
00:11:24,948 --> 00:11:27,949
We must not act recklessly.
159
00:11:38,324 --> 00:11:40,326
When Hideyoshi left Kyoto,
160
00:11:40,326 --> 00:11:43,029
he said he couldn't wait
to see Mt. Fuji.
161
00:11:43,862 --> 00:11:47,309
We can't let such pleasure seekers
surpass us!
162
00:11:47,309 --> 00:11:49,711
We must fight them!
163
00:11:49,711 --> 00:11:52,706
Such foolishness
leads to destruction!
164
00:11:53,739 --> 00:11:56,848
I don't deserve to
be called a "fool."
165
00:11:56,848 --> 00:12:00,052
You don't intend
to stop Masamune?
166
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,659
No, my lady.
167
00:12:02,659 --> 00:12:06,252
This is an outrage!
168
00:12:07,186 --> 00:12:10,497
Your pretence of loyalty...
169
00:12:10,497 --> 00:12:13,594
will drive Masamune
and the Date to ruin!
170
00:12:13,594 --> 00:12:17,095
You know the way
of the samurai.
171
00:12:17,095 --> 00:12:22,105
To surrender without
a fight is cowardly!
172
00:12:22,105 --> 00:12:24,205
Are you trying to lecture me?!
173
00:12:24,205 --> 00:12:24,955
Please...!
174
00:12:26,372 --> 00:12:28,683
Please trust in our lord!
175
00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:33,123
I cannot,
if you are his advisor.
176
00:12:34,146 --> 00:12:37,025
Masamune is a ruffian...
177
00:12:37,025 --> 00:12:40,462
because he grew up with you!
178
00:12:42,486 --> 00:12:44,366
Don't vent your anger on me.
179
00:12:44,366 --> 00:12:45,698
Aside!
180
00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:46,725
Where are you going?
181
00:12:46,725 --> 00:12:48,239
None of your business!
182
00:12:49,261 --> 00:12:53,732
We received many letters
urging us to go to Odawara.
183
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:56,906
It would be rude
not to answer.
184
00:12:56,906 --> 00:12:58,812
Have no fear.
185
00:12:58,812 --> 00:13:04,981
Messengers have been sent to
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Asano Nagayoshi.
186
00:13:04,981 --> 00:13:06,512
To refuse?
187
00:13:06,512 --> 00:13:07,547
No.
188
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,551
We agreed to go to Odawara.
189
00:13:12,084 --> 00:13:12,994
Is that true?
190
00:13:12,994 --> 00:13:14,463
Yes.
191
00:13:14,463 --> 00:13:16,864
Why not go immediately then?
192
00:13:16,864 --> 00:13:20,427
If we do, Ou will
be thrown into chaos.
193
00:13:20,427 --> 00:13:23,009
We must stall for time.
194
00:13:23,009 --> 00:13:25,540
How ridiculous.
195
00:13:25,540 --> 00:13:28,443
Do you think you can
lie to them?
196
00:13:28,443 --> 00:13:29,946
For shame!
197
00:13:29,946 --> 00:13:32,047
This is strategy.
198
00:13:32,871 --> 00:13:34,976
Even Mogami Yoshiaki...
199
00:13:34,976 --> 00:13:38,978
promised to march,
but delays his leave.
200
00:13:38,978 --> 00:13:42,925
He cannot, because
he fears the Date.
201
00:13:42,925 --> 00:13:45,151
We feel the same about him.
202
00:13:45,484 --> 00:13:48,131
If we leave,
he'll attack the castle.
203
00:13:48,454 --> 00:13:52,997
This is ridiculous.
204
00:13:52,997 --> 00:13:56,197
So you'll both fall
to Hideyoshi?
205
00:13:58,030 --> 00:14:01,704
Tell Masamune to meet with
Yoshiaki and negotiate!
206
00:14:01,704 --> 00:14:04,071
That won't be necessary!
207
00:14:04,803 --> 00:14:06,010
Masamune...
208
00:14:06,538 --> 00:14:09,610
Your interference is
upsetting the retainers.
209
00:14:09,610 --> 00:14:10,984
Please stop.
210
00:14:10,984 --> 00:14:12,186
Don't be conceited!
211
00:14:12,911 --> 00:14:17,757
How can you be led astray
by irrational advisors?!
212
00:14:19,785 --> 00:14:22,698
Listen to those who care!
213
00:14:22,698 --> 00:14:23,893
I know!
214
00:14:23,893 --> 00:14:25,765
You know nothing!
215
00:14:25,765 --> 00:14:27,735
Kojuro, come to council.
216
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:29,761
I shall also attend!
217
00:14:29,761 --> 00:14:31,103
Women are forbidden!
218
00:14:31,103 --> 00:14:33,275
I represent the late lord!
219
00:14:35,901 --> 00:14:41,142
Mother, I, Masamune,
am lord of the Date.
220
00:14:59,625 --> 00:15:01,606
My lady...
221
00:15:02,628 --> 00:15:07,137
Masamune does hate me, after all.
222
00:15:07,137 --> 00:15:08,579
Indeed not!
223
00:15:10,602 --> 00:15:14,072
He hates me for being away...
224
00:15:14,072 --> 00:15:17,383
when he contracted smallpox.
225
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:21,249
His nerves are
merely on edge!
226
00:15:37,162 --> 00:15:43,670
I have a most important
favor to ask of you.
227
00:15:46,104 --> 00:15:49,313
You accompanied me
when I left the Mogami...
228
00:15:49,313 --> 00:15:53,653
and served me well
for 25 years.
229
00:15:53,653 --> 00:15:55,158
I thank you.
230
00:15:55,158 --> 00:15:56,818
I'm honored.
231
00:15:56,818 --> 00:16:00,325
The Date are faced
with a grave crisis.
232
00:16:00,652 --> 00:16:03,189
We must obey the regent...
233
00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:05,532
and hasten to Odawara.
234
00:16:06,058 --> 00:16:10,163
I understand that's what
you advised our lord.
235
00:16:10,163 --> 00:16:11,469
Yes.
236
00:16:11,469 --> 00:16:14,670
He was furious.
237
00:16:14,670 --> 00:16:16,907
I was temporarily
relieved of service.
238
00:16:16,907 --> 00:16:18,710
Others agree!
239
00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:24,711
Many concerned retainers ask
that Masamune be disowned.
240
00:16:26,645 --> 00:16:28,750
If we imprison Masamune
241
00:16:28,750 --> 00:16:33,988
and send Kojiro to Odawara
as our lord,
242
00:16:33,988 --> 00:16:36,465
the regent will not
punish us.
243
00:16:36,465 --> 00:16:37,432
Wait...!
244
00:16:37,432 --> 00:16:40,499
Lord Terumune appeared
in my dreams...
245
00:16:40,726 --> 00:16:44,368
saying that the Date
must not fall.
246
00:16:45,397 --> 00:16:48,468
He said we must bear
the unbearable...
247
00:16:48,468 --> 00:16:51,079
and preserve the clan
of our ancestors.
248
00:16:51,903 --> 00:16:53,075
My lady...
249
00:17:00,512 --> 00:17:03,006
Now you're one of us.
250
00:17:03,215 --> 00:17:05,889
Secretly persuade
the advisors...
251
00:17:05,889 --> 00:17:08,626
and support Kojiro.
252
00:17:09,655 --> 00:17:13,535
Can't you hear
Lord Terumune's cries?
253
00:17:13,535 --> 00:17:16,437
Even Masamune will see
the error of his ways,
254
00:17:16,437 --> 00:17:19,033
and thank us for it!
255
00:17:21,667 --> 00:17:25,372
Think carefully...
256
00:17:25,372 --> 00:17:29,376
about the true
meaning of loyalty.
257
00:17:37,146 --> 00:17:38,888
Alerted by Kuniyori,
258
00:17:38,888 --> 00:17:43,007
Onoda Kazuma and others who
supported Kojiro were jailed.
259
00:17:43,288 --> 00:17:47,629
However, the investigation
stopped there.
260
00:17:57,436 --> 00:18:00,280
Her plot having
been discovered,
261
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,581
Lady of the East rode
to Yamagata Castle.
262
00:18:03,108 --> 00:18:08,549
She intended to ask her
brother Yoshiaki for advice.
263
00:18:17,956 --> 00:18:19,136
Mego...
264
00:18:20,459 --> 00:18:21,665
Yes.
265
00:18:21,665 --> 00:18:23,640
What do you think of me?
266
00:18:24,663 --> 00:18:27,635
Am I too weak
to know greatness?
267
00:18:30,202 --> 00:18:35,243
Do I lack the ability
to fight Hideyoshi?
268
00:18:39,511 --> 00:18:41,981
For all my efforts...
269
00:18:43,014 --> 00:18:45,790
am I nothing but
a country daimyo?
270
00:18:45,790 --> 00:18:47,355
Nonsense!
271
00:18:49,388 --> 00:18:52,258
You were blessed with
rare talent.
272
00:18:52,891 --> 00:18:57,130
The bravest in the land
serve you.
273
00:18:58,063 --> 00:19:01,470
In ability, not even the
regent surpass you.
274
00:19:04,603 --> 00:19:06,016
Be proud!
275
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:13,315
You have successfully
extended your domains.
276
00:19:14,346 --> 00:19:16,884
The "One-eyed Dragon" is
known throughout Japan.
277
00:19:16,884 --> 00:19:18,887
And Japan is slipping
away from me!
278
00:19:24,956 --> 00:19:31,268
I'm sick with frustration!
279
00:19:36,101 --> 00:19:38,150
Thirty years, no...
280
00:19:40,172 --> 00:19:43,144
If only I'd been born
twenty years earlier...!
281
00:19:46,178 --> 00:19:52,553
An upstart like Hideyoshi
would never be ruling Japan!
282
00:20:06,183 --> 00:20:07,492
I was...
283
00:20:10,722 --> 00:20:12,399
...born too late.
284
00:20:40,130 --> 00:20:43,301
YAMAGATA CASTLE
285
00:20:45,473 --> 00:20:49,518
Your plan to imprison
Masamune was sound.
286
00:20:49,518 --> 00:20:53,921
But it's useless if you fail.
287
00:20:53,921 --> 00:20:56,892
You got yourself
into a fine mess!
288
00:20:56,892 --> 00:20:59,657
Kuniyori betrayed me.
289
00:20:59,657 --> 00:21:01,322
Kuniyori?
290
00:21:01,322 --> 00:21:02,423
Yanbe Kuniyori?
291
00:21:02,423 --> 00:21:04,297
I shouldn't have trusted him.
292
00:21:04,297 --> 00:21:05,831
Fool!
293
00:21:06,157 --> 00:21:08,831
Kuniyori is Masamune's
devoted bannerman!
294
00:21:08,831 --> 00:21:11,339
You should have know that!
295
00:21:11,339 --> 00:21:13,468
I don't know what to do.
296
00:21:13,468 --> 00:21:16,479
Masamune must know
it was my doing.
297
00:21:16,479 --> 00:21:17,980
That's why you
escaped to Yamagata?
298
00:21:17,980 --> 00:21:19,183
No!
299
00:21:20,505 --> 00:21:24,477
I came to ask you that
you march to Odawara!
300
00:21:26,011 --> 00:21:27,119
What?
301
00:21:28,747 --> 00:21:34,057
Then Masamune will
understand and reconsider.
302
00:21:34,057 --> 00:21:35,996
You expect me to save you?
303
00:21:35,996 --> 00:21:41,563
Masamune will not go because
he fears an attack from you.
304
00:21:41,563 --> 00:21:45,101
If you leave,
so will Masamune.
305
00:21:45,101 --> 00:21:48,070
Which road can I take
to Odawara?
306
00:21:49,701 --> 00:21:51,703
Masamune blocks
my every path.
307
00:21:51,703 --> 00:21:54,239
I shall convince Masamune...
308
00:21:54,239 --> 00:21:57,020
to let the Mogami army
pass safely!
309
00:21:57,020 --> 00:22:01,747
I don't believe you!
I've been betrayed before.
310
00:22:01,747 --> 00:22:04,488
You cannot be fighting!
311
00:22:04,488 --> 00:22:06,291
You're in this together!
312
00:22:06,291 --> 00:22:10,357
You must join hands
and rush to Odawara,
313
00:22:10,357 --> 00:22:13,597
or both clans will fall!
314
00:22:13,597 --> 00:22:16,597
You don't know
anything, do you?
315
00:22:20,332 --> 00:22:23,178
It's too late for Masamune.
316
00:22:24,202 --> 00:22:27,174
The regent won't pardon him,
even if he goes.
317
00:22:29,841 --> 00:22:31,151
Why not?
318
00:22:32,177 --> 00:22:34,182
He destroyed the Ashina!
319
00:22:36,214 --> 00:22:40,890
The regent is still angry.
If Masamune arrives late...
320
00:22:40,890 --> 00:22:43,196
he'll be killed on the spot!
321
00:22:44,222 --> 00:22:45,862
No...!
322
00:22:49,891 --> 00:22:55,670
Ishida Mitsunari and Gamo Ujisato
sent me letters!
323
00:22:55,670 --> 00:22:57,212
I don't believe it.
324
00:22:58,136 --> 00:23:02,574
Tokugawa Ieyasu wrote that
he would intercede for us...
325
00:23:02,574 --> 00:23:05,614
It's a trap!
He's lying!
326
00:23:10,215 --> 00:23:11,992
Think about it.
327
00:23:14,019 --> 00:23:18,091
Who's keeping Hideyoshi
from conquering the Ou?
328
00:23:20,458 --> 00:23:23,166
Who ignored the law against warring...
329
00:23:23,166 --> 00:23:26,166
and ran wild, like Nobunaga?!
330
00:23:28,967 --> 00:23:31,971
If I were Hideyoshi,
I'd summon him to Odawara...
331
00:23:31,971 --> 00:23:34,745
and kill him,
to set an example!
332
00:23:34,745 --> 00:23:38,389
Then Odawara is
out of the question!
333
00:23:39,411 --> 00:23:43,126
If he doesn't go,
the Date will be destroyed!
334
00:23:44,349 --> 00:23:48,622
No...!
What can be done?
335
00:23:48,622 --> 00:23:49,793
Nothing!
336
00:23:51,823 --> 00:23:54,167
Masamune's luck has run out!
337
00:23:54,167 --> 00:23:55,102
Brother!
338
00:23:55,102 --> 00:23:58,366
Forget him, Yoshi!
He brought it on himself!
339
00:24:10,475 --> 00:24:15,216
However, the Date have Kojiro.
340
00:24:19,951 --> 00:24:22,955
Kojiro would not be killed.
341
00:24:22,955 --> 00:24:26,493
I'll be his guardian and
take him to Odawara.
342
00:24:27,525 --> 00:24:29,071
Please wait.
343
00:24:29,994 --> 00:24:33,464
Are you suggesting we
imprison Masamune?
344
00:24:35,133 --> 00:24:37,604
That won't be enough.
345
00:24:39,637 --> 00:24:43,609
Take Masamune's head and
present it to the regent!
346
00:24:47,645 --> 00:24:49,050
Yoshi!
347
00:24:49,781 --> 00:24:51,953
Who's more important,
Masamune or the clan?!
348
00:24:57,655 --> 00:25:01,964
I won't listen!
349
00:25:06,364 --> 00:25:09,536
The regent's army reached
Numazu on the 27th,
350
00:25:09,536 --> 00:25:14,313
and they are attacking
Yamanaka Castle and Nirayama Castle.
351
00:25:14,313 --> 00:25:16,512
So it's begun.
352
00:25:16,512 --> 00:25:21,149
In Ou, lords Nambu, Muto,
and Yuki submitted.
353
00:25:21,149 --> 00:25:25,719
Lord Tsugaru Tamenobu
joined Hideyoshi's troops.
354
00:25:25,719 --> 00:25:27,127
Who are left?
355
00:25:27,127 --> 00:25:31,697
Besides the Date, Osaki, Kasai,
Tamura, and Mogami remain.
356
00:25:31,952 --> 00:25:33,697
Is that all?!
357
00:25:33,697 --> 00:25:34,362
Yes.
358
00:25:34,638 --> 00:25:37,209
Blast!
We're too late!
359
00:25:37,737 --> 00:25:40,283
Better to go late than not at all.
360
00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:41,460
No!
361
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:46,680
Why go after the other
clans and be shamed?!
362
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,048
For the sake of our clan,
363
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:53,146
we should still go and
explain our tardiness.
364
00:25:53,146 --> 00:25:54,885
I agree!
365
00:25:54,885 --> 00:25:57,553
Explanations will do no good.
366
00:25:57,553 --> 00:26:02,328
We cannot say we were too
busy dividing up Aizu land!
367
00:26:02,654 --> 00:26:04,827
We will be severely
punished.
368
00:26:04,827 --> 00:26:07,700
You intend to fight Hideyoshi?!
369
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:11,534
Yes! Even if we are forgiven
and Lord Masamune is spared,
370
00:26:11,534 --> 00:26:16,535
we will surely
lose our lands!
371
00:26:17,402 --> 00:26:22,546
We cannot give up the land
of our forefathers.
372
00:26:22,546 --> 00:26:26,422
Rather, let us fight
Hideyoshi's army here...
373
00:26:26,644 --> 00:26:29,147
and die bravely among
our ancestors!
374
00:26:29,147 --> 00:26:34,261
How can you let
Lord Masamune's die?!
375
00:26:34,261 --> 00:26:36,788
Rather than compromise ourselves...
376
00:26:36,788 --> 00:26:38,427
and live in shame,
377
00:26:39,457 --> 00:26:44,266
samurai must die in
glorious combat!
378
00:26:46,297 --> 00:26:48,009
Our lord must be prepared.
379
00:26:58,209 --> 00:27:01,019
Shigezane is right.
380
00:27:02,447 --> 00:27:06,055
We may have to forget
about Odawara,
381
00:27:07,085 --> 00:27:09,328
and perish for
samurai honor!
382
00:27:10,355 --> 00:27:11,435
Sire...
383
00:27:12,857 --> 00:27:15,134
I regret to say...
384
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,471
I was too late to unite Ou.
385
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:24,772
No. Conceit was
your downfall.
386
00:27:24,772 --> 00:27:25,974
Insolence!
387
00:27:25,974 --> 00:27:28,014
Silence!
388
00:27:28,339 --> 00:27:32,446
It was your counsel
that made him err!
389
00:27:32,446 --> 00:27:34,356
Calm down!
390
00:27:35,380 --> 00:27:39,553
What do you say, Kojuro?
391
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:45,126
Don't hesitate to
give your opinion.
392
00:27:49,627 --> 00:27:54,599
The Imperial Court named
Hideyoshi regent.
393
00:27:54,999 --> 00:27:58,276
All Japan is as good as his.
394
00:27:58,276 --> 00:27:59,247
No!
395
00:27:59,247 --> 00:28:00,874
Silence!
396
00:28:00,874 --> 00:28:05,115
No daimyo from Kanto
to the west...
397
00:28:05,115 --> 00:28:08,052
will disobey Hideyoshi.
398
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,384
The Hojo of Odawara resisted...
399
00:28:12,384 --> 00:28:15,263
and now face the wrath
of the regent.
400
00:28:16,287 --> 00:28:21,863
In defying the regent,
one defies the Emperor,
401
00:28:21,863 --> 00:28:24,841
and is labeled a traitor.
402
00:28:25,863 --> 00:28:31,004
If you follow the Hojo and
die defending Ou,
403
00:28:31,004 --> 00:28:34,141
you will forever be traitors.
404
00:28:34,141 --> 00:28:38,145
Nonsense! We're not
Hideyoshi's vassals!
405
00:28:38,145 --> 00:28:40,587
You are being disloyal
to the Emperor!
406
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:44,493
Disloyal and immoral!
407
00:28:44,493 --> 00:28:47,519
Unfilial, if you
destroy the clan!
408
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:51,893
Heaven will not help
such as you!
409
00:28:51,893 --> 00:28:53,527
We seek no help
from heaven!
410
00:28:53,527 --> 00:28:55,834
It's too late to go
to Odawara!
411
00:28:55,834 --> 00:28:58,841
Not necessarily.
412
00:28:58,841 --> 00:29:04,139
A wise regent would not
determine a lord's loyalty...
413
00:29:04,139 --> 00:29:05,841
by his promptness
in coming.
414
00:29:05,841 --> 00:29:08,146
If the Date fall,
415
00:29:09,572 --> 00:29:15,144
the fault will lie
with the regent!
416
00:29:15,847 --> 00:29:20,052
It's worth a try.
417
00:29:21,586 --> 00:29:24,824
Sire, your decision...?
418
00:29:24,824 --> 00:29:29,928
It's settled!
He said we would fight!
419
00:29:29,928 --> 00:29:32,204
Dying here will be treason!
420
00:29:33,231 --> 00:29:36,269
Dying in Odawara
will be honorable.
421
00:29:36,269 --> 00:29:37,506
Act like a man!
422
00:29:37,506 --> 00:29:39,037
Silence!
423
00:29:39,570 --> 00:29:41,383
We're in council!
424
00:29:44,409 --> 00:29:46,218
Sire!
425
00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:48,349
I'll accompany
you to Odawara!
426
00:29:48,349 --> 00:29:49,414
Shut up!
427
00:29:49,414 --> 00:29:50,448
Please!
428
00:29:50,448 --> 00:29:51,486
Insolent!
429
00:29:54,519 --> 00:29:56,091
Stop it!
430
00:30:02,527 --> 00:30:06,339
Are you hurt, Kojuro?
431
00:30:07,365 --> 00:30:08,115
No.
432
00:30:29,487 --> 00:30:29,965
My lord...
433
00:30:29,965 --> 00:30:32,127
Leave me! I don't
want to see anyone!
434
00:30:42,633 --> 00:30:46,074
Every man has ambition.
435
00:30:46,804 --> 00:30:49,113
Without ambition,
he is no man.
436
00:30:50,041 --> 00:30:55,013
A footsoldier dreams of being commander.
A commander dreams of being a lord.
437
00:30:57,181 --> 00:30:59,320
Ambition is what makes
him fight bravely...
438
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,322
and be loyal to his lord.
439
00:31:06,156 --> 00:31:14,066
However, without ability and
luck, success is impossible.
440
00:31:15,733 --> 00:31:21,509
I once wished to rule Japan,
but no more.
441
00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:27,512
So now I submit
to Hideyoshi...
442
00:31:27,512 --> 00:31:30,721
and assure my subjects
a safe life.
443
00:31:31,749 --> 00:31:35,026
But Masamune will not
give up his ambition,
444
00:31:35,026 --> 00:31:37,590
and brings his
subjects grief.
445
00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:40,502
He's even proceeding to
destroy his own clan.
446
00:31:41,526 --> 00:31:45,005
He's not fit to be lord.
447
00:31:46,330 --> 00:31:49,609
The only was he can
save the Date...
448
00:31:51,135 --> 00:31:55,982
is to send his head
to Hideyoshi with Kojiro.
449
00:31:57,007 --> 00:31:59,979
Please, no more!
450
00:32:08,186 --> 00:32:10,063
Don't be afraid.
451
00:32:10,063 --> 00:32:12,192
There is no avoiding it.
452
00:32:12,192 --> 00:32:14,761
You know how Masamune is.
453
00:32:15,793 --> 00:32:21,933
He would never take his
own life for anything!
454
00:32:21,933 --> 00:32:24,344
Then have him killed!
455
00:32:24,344 --> 00:32:26,572
Are you mad, Brother?
456
00:32:27,405 --> 00:32:30,377
No Date can kill Masamune.
457
00:32:33,077 --> 00:32:35,049
You can.
458
00:32:41,118 --> 00:32:43,000
What are you saying?!
459
00:32:53,998 --> 00:32:57,007
Invite him to a party
and poison him.
460
00:32:57,235 --> 00:32:59,079
I'm afraid!
461
00:32:59,604 --> 00:33:01,916
Poison my own son...?!
462
00:33:03,941 --> 00:33:08,648
The mere thought
makes me tremble!
463
00:33:08,648 --> 00:33:09,886
Calm down!
464
00:33:11,916 --> 00:33:14,522
He'll be killed if
he goes to Odawara.
465
00:33:14,522 --> 00:33:16,965
If not, he'll be
destroyed here!
466
00:33:17,989 --> 00:33:20,692
Rather than let
another kill him,
467
00:33:20,692 --> 00:33:24,366
let him die gently,
by his mother's hand.
468
00:33:24,366 --> 00:33:26,272
Merciful Buddha...!
469
00:33:26,272 --> 00:33:28,504
It's the ultimate kindness!
470
00:33:28,504 --> 00:33:31,772
No! Heaven will punish me!
471
00:33:37,808 --> 00:33:43,051
Do you remember, Yoshi?
472
00:33:43,051 --> 00:33:44,496
I fought against our father.
473
00:33:45,332 --> 00:33:47,436
I killed our brother
who turned traitor.
474
00:33:48,748 --> 00:33:52,040
You don't know how
it grieved me.
475
00:33:52,383 --> 00:33:55,642
I lived each day in torment.
476
00:33:56,472 --> 00:33:59,731
However, I know I was right.
477
00:34:00,631 --> 00:34:03,008
It was the only was
I could save the clan.
478
00:34:03,934 --> 00:34:05,915
The Date are the same.
479
00:34:06,937 --> 00:34:11,010
Tanemune fought Harumune,
Harumune fought Terumune.
480
00:34:11,242 --> 00:34:13,984
Though Terumune was
taken hostage,
481
00:34:13,984 --> 00:34:15,888
Masamune had him killed!
482
00:34:15,888 --> 00:34:17,084
Brother!
483
00:34:18,015 --> 00:34:25,000
Warlords are always involved
in family disputes.
484
00:34:26,223 --> 00:34:29,136
By wary of your own family,
485
00:34:29,136 --> 00:34:31,199
but trust faithful retainers.
486
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:36,075
In order to preserve your clan...
487
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:41,351
you must someday kill
your own flesh and blood!
488
00:34:42,973 --> 00:34:46,350
I won't do it!
489
00:34:46,350 --> 00:34:49,087
With Masamune gone...
490
00:34:49,814 --> 00:34:52,086
the Date will be saved.
491
00:34:55,119 --> 00:34:58,028
Masamune is a demon
of destruction!
492
00:34:58,856 --> 00:35:01,828
A vengeful spirit who
wreaks havoc!
493
00:35:26,684 --> 00:35:28,925
Our lord ordered you
to commit hara-kiri?
494
00:35:28,925 --> 00:35:35,326
No, but he cannot
reach a decision.
495
00:35:35,793 --> 00:35:38,000
I must convince him
with my death.
496
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,371
Do not be hasty!
497
00:35:39,371 --> 00:35:41,678
I thought long and hard.
498
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,246
Forget me.
499
00:35:46,270 --> 00:35:50,142
I'll divorce you.
Take Samon back to your village.
500
00:35:51,175 --> 00:35:54,354
I am your wife!
501
00:35:57,081 --> 00:35:58,219
No!
502
00:35:59,049 --> 00:36:01,021
Someone's outside.
503
00:36:04,288 --> 00:36:05,359
Show yourself!
504
00:36:06,989 --> 00:36:08,903
It's Sadatoki.
505
00:36:08,903 --> 00:36:10,303
What do you want?
506
00:36:10,303 --> 00:36:12,899
I accompanied our lord.
507
00:36:18,235 --> 00:36:21,072
Forgive me.
I came in secret.
508
00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:28,161
Though everyone disagrees,
509
00:36:28,442 --> 00:36:30,976
I am touched by their loyalty.
510
00:36:34,151 --> 00:36:39,529
However, I acted shamefully,
unlike a samurai.
511
00:36:40,157 --> 00:36:43,129
I can understand, sire.
512
00:36:45,596 --> 00:36:46,604
Kojuro...
513
00:36:50,835 --> 00:36:53,048
I ask you once more...
514
00:36:54,271 --> 00:36:58,186
If I refuse to go to Odawara
will the Date be destroyed?
515
00:36:59,210 --> 00:37:03,918
Have I no chance against
Hideyoshi?
516
00:37:10,754 --> 00:37:12,102
Tell me.
517
00:37:14,725 --> 00:37:17,865
The Kyoto forces number
220,000.
518
00:37:17,865 --> 00:37:20,067
His power only grows.
519
00:37:20,998 --> 00:37:22,705
They are like summer flies.
520
00:37:24,535 --> 00:37:26,708
Though you may kill
the first few,
521
00:37:26,708 --> 00:37:30,000
they'll keep coming.
522
00:37:30,508 --> 00:37:32,049
Summer flies?
523
00:37:32,776 --> 00:37:39,524
With Lords Mori and Shimazu,
they have a million men.
524
00:37:39,524 --> 00:37:43,022
It will be difficult
to stop them.
525
00:37:51,829 --> 00:37:55,869
The regent is like
summer flies?
526
00:37:59,503 --> 00:38:01,006
All right.
527
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:03,920
I'll go to Odawara!
528
00:38:06,944 --> 00:38:12,452
I will never forget your
kind words of reproach.
529
00:38:16,086 --> 00:38:19,058
I am unworthy, my lord.
530
00:38:27,197 --> 00:38:31,778
In late March,
back in Kurokawa Castle,
531
00:38:31,778 --> 00:38:35,186
a desperating Lady of the East
refused to see anyone.
532
00:38:38,208 --> 00:38:39,710
My lady!
533
00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:43,622
Lord Masamune is
leaving for Odawara!
534
00:38:44,648 --> 00:38:45,888
What?!
535
00:38:45,888 --> 00:38:48,828
They depart on April 6.
536
00:38:48,828 --> 00:38:52,857
With Katakura Kojuro
and a hundred horsemen.
537
00:38:52,857 --> 00:38:56,231
No! The regent will kill him!
538
00:38:56,231 --> 00:38:58,706
He's going there to die!
539
00:38:58,706 --> 00:39:00,538
What shall we do?
540
00:39:00,538 --> 00:39:02,043
Summon Tohachiro!
541
00:39:02,043 --> 00:39:03,038
Yes!
542
00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:13,079
Lady of the East asks
that you become a priest.
543
00:39:14,111 --> 00:39:15,591
A priest?
544
00:39:16,614 --> 00:39:22,223
If Lord Kojiro succeeds you,
Hideyoshi will forgive us.
545
00:39:23,253 --> 00:39:25,425
Absurd!
546
00:39:25,425 --> 00:39:26,992
Outrageous!
547
00:39:26,992 --> 00:39:29,368
The lord of Oshu
become a priest?!
548
00:39:29,368 --> 00:39:30,997
A disgrace!
549
00:39:30,997 --> 00:39:34,004
Isn't this your idea, Morishige?
550
00:39:35,332 --> 00:39:36,304
Indeed not!
551
00:39:43,340 --> 00:39:47,219
Kojiro, did you know about this?
552
00:39:48,245 --> 00:39:49,317
No.
553
00:39:59,690 --> 00:40:00,896
Let us continue.
554
00:40:00,896 --> 00:40:02,198
Report on Odawara.
555
00:40:04,226 --> 00:40:09,010
Yamanaka Castle fell
on the 29th.
556
00:40:09,833 --> 00:40:13,544
Nirayama's defenders
fight well and are holding.
557
00:40:14,271 --> 00:40:20,045
Yamanaka and Nirayama were
holding off the Kyoto forces.
558
00:40:20,577 --> 00:40:22,420
But with the fall
of Yamanaka Castle,
559
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:24,426
Nirayama Castle must
fight against...
560
00:40:24,426 --> 00:40:29,621
Oda Nobukatsu, Hachisuka Iemasa,
Fukushima Masanori,
561
00:40:29,621 --> 00:40:30,471
and Gamo Ujisato.
562
00:40:32,431 --> 00:40:36,281
So Hojo Ujinori won't stand long...
563
00:40:36,281 --> 00:40:40,436
Meanwhile, the regent
set a camp on Mt. Hakone...
564
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,710
Please save him...
565
00:41:37,452 --> 00:41:38,918
Masamune...
566
00:42:00,377 --> 00:42:01,349
Masamune!
567
00:42:06,283 --> 00:42:08,026
You fool!
568
00:42:10,053 --> 00:42:12,727
Why did you go to Odawara?!
569
00:42:12,727 --> 00:42:15,028
You fool!
570
00:42:27,604 --> 00:42:29,050
Masamune!
571
00:42:29,573 --> 00:42:31,017
Masamune!
572
00:42:31,942 --> 00:42:34,914
I told you not to go!
573
00:42:41,718 --> 00:42:42,628
Masamune!
574
00:42:42,628 --> 00:42:44,123
Masamune!
575
00:42:46,156 --> 00:42:47,726
My lady!
576
00:42:47,726 --> 00:42:49,230
What's wrong?
577
00:42:53,697 --> 00:42:55,274
Masamune?
578
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,006
Is that you?
579
00:43:01,538 --> 00:43:03,051
Why did you die?!
580
00:43:04,474 --> 00:43:06,421
Are you all right?
581
00:43:07,444 --> 00:43:09,416
Please get ahold of yourself!
582
00:43:13,951 --> 00:43:15,000
Masamune...
583
00:43:18,422 --> 00:43:19,694
Masamune.
584
00:43:36,687 --> 00:43:38,608
Masamune!
585
00:43:40,859 --> 00:43:42,109
