1
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:23,077
In his quest for supremacy
over Japan,
2
00:00:23,077 --> 00:00:27,687
Hideyoshi had conquered
Saigoku and Kyushu by 1587,
3
00:00:27,687 --> 00:00:31,001
welding absolute power
as regent.
4
00:00:31,992 --> 00:00:33,163
All that remained
to be conquered...
5
00:00:33,163 --> 00:00:39,001
were the Hojo of Kanto
and the Date of Oshu.
6
00:00:40,867 --> 00:00:45,546
The Hojo had rejected repeated
orders from Hideyoshi to submit.
7
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:51,342
In 1590, Hideyoshi surrounded
Odawara with 220,000 men.
8
00:00:55,081 --> 00:01:00,048
For 96 years,
the Hojo had held great power.
9
00:01:00,048 --> 00:01:02,120
Odawara Castle, their base,
10
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,093
was the greatest fortress
on level ground.
11
00:01:08,428 --> 00:01:15,167
It had withstood attacks from
Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen.
12
00:01:15,167 --> 00:01:20,077
So the Hojo were confident
of repelling Hideyoshi.
13
00:01:22,509 --> 00:01:26,146
Hideyoshi assembled a great
army for a long siege,
14
00:01:26,146 --> 00:01:31,146
and settled at Ishigaki Yama
overlooking Odawara Castle.
15
00:01:33,286 --> 00:01:35,559
Hideyoshi even mobilized a navy...
16
00:01:35,559 --> 00:01:40,425
completely surrounding
Odawara Castle.
17
00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:52,814
Hideyoshi's dream
of conquering all Japan...
18
00:01:52,814 --> 00:01:54,806
was within his grasp.
19
00:01:56,940 --> 00:02:03,880

KATAKURA KOJURO'S QUARTERS
KUROKAWA CASTLE
43
00:04:53,891 --> 00:05:00,096
As you know, I advised
that he go to Odawara.
44
00:05:00,427 --> 00:05:04,894
If anything happens to Lord Masamune,
I must apologize by dying.
45
00:05:04,894 --> 00:05:09,998
I shall also take you
and Samon with me.
46
00:05:13,206 --> 00:05:15,209
You won't regret dying,
will you?
47
00:05:15,842 --> 00:05:17,445
Never.
48
00:05:17,445 --> 00:05:19,250
Are you sorry for Samon?
49
00:05:19,779 --> 00:05:20,746
No.
50
00:05:26,386 --> 00:05:30,527
I cannot understand Lord Masamune.
51
00:05:30,527 --> 00:05:33,092
I told you many times.
52
00:05:34,627 --> 00:05:38,028
He killed his brother
to avoid a revolt.
53
00:05:38,665 --> 00:05:43,008
Now the dissidents are
suddenly loyal once more.
54
00:05:43,636 --> 00:05:50,010
Then why doesn't he leave
immediately for Odawara?
55
00:05:50,343 --> 00:05:56,588
He went as far as South Aizu
and lost his nerve...
56
00:05:56,588 --> 00:05:59,085
He didn't lose his nerve!
57
00:05:59,719 --> 00:06:03,186
At that time,
he wanted to survey the situation.
58
00:06:03,186 --> 00:06:03,936
Survey?
59
00:06:05,258 --> 00:06:08,361
The Satake and Mogami delayed
their match to Odawara...
60
00:06:08,361 --> 00:06:10,872
to see what the Date would do.
61
00:06:10,872 --> 00:06:15,238
What will neighboring clans do,
if the Date march out?
62
00:06:15,869 --> 00:06:18,870
Now that Lady Yoshi
has been banished,
63
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:21,883
won't the Mogami attack us?
64
00:06:21,883 --> 00:06:25,779
Lord Masamune only went
on a scouting mission.
65
00:06:27,814 --> 00:06:30,315
Our lord is bold,
yet cautious.
66
00:06:30,315 --> 00:06:33,094
He is no ordinary warlord.
67
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,730
He will secure the clan's
safety and stability...
68
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:41,725
before he leaves for Odawara.
69
00:06:44,797 --> 00:06:48,234
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
70
00:06:51,271 --> 00:06:52,476
Father.
71
00:06:52,476 --> 00:06:55,907
Oh, Samon,
are you still up?
72
00:06:59,712 --> 00:07:01,114
Come.
73
00:07:01,114 --> 00:07:02,214
Yes.
74
00:07:10,247 --> 00:07:11,497
MAY 5
75
00:07:27,807 --> 00:07:29,614
Are the home forces prepared?
76
00:07:29,614 --> 00:07:34,480
I'll take all of my men
to Aizu, as ordered.
77
00:07:34,714 --> 00:07:36,019
What about Nihonmatsu?
78
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:38,484
I'll send Ouchi Sadatsuna.
79
00:07:38,484 --> 00:07:42,959
Not Sadatsuna.
Send Ishimoda Saemon and Oeda Owari.
80
00:07:44,157 --> 00:07:47,794
Sadatsuna will accompany
us to Odawara.
81
00:07:48,227 --> 00:07:52,608
How can you pick Sadatsuna
over established retainers?
82
00:07:52,608 --> 00:07:57,780
There's also Katahira Chikatsuna,
Aoki Shuri, Inawashiro Morikuni.
83
00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:02,075
We'll also take important
Aizu and Nikaido retainers.
84
00:08:02,075 --> 00:08:04,920
I don't understand.
Why take newcomers?
85
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,415
When I explain why
I attacked Aizu,
86
00:08:09,415 --> 00:08:11,893
they will vouch for me.
87
00:08:11,893 --> 00:08:13,327
I see!
88
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:16,087
What if they betray us?!
89
00:08:16,087 --> 00:08:18,029
They were enemies, once!
90
00:08:18,029 --> 00:08:19,735
Rest assured.
91
00:08:20,059 --> 00:08:23,003
Their retainers will
be left behind.
92
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:25,068
Their families will
be our hostages.
93
00:08:25,298 --> 00:08:26,018
I see! I see!
94
00:08:29,702 --> 00:08:31,339
Shigenobu...
95
00:08:32,538 --> 00:08:34,948
Am I proficient in tea ceremony?
96
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:38,016
Better than Hideyoshi?
97
00:08:38,344 --> 00:08:44,311
I, Suzuki Shigenobu,
have taught you everything I know.
98
00:08:44,917 --> 00:08:48,725
You are not less proficient
than the regent.
99
00:08:50,255 --> 00:08:52,529
Were you invited to have
tea with the regent?
100
00:08:52,529 --> 00:08:53,399
Yes.
101
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:56,563
I attended the great
party at Kitano Shrine.
102
00:08:56,563 --> 00:08:58,631
Pretentious trash!
103
00:08:58,631 --> 00:09:02,108
It was a historical first.
104
00:09:02,735 --> 00:09:04,610
All those interested in tea
were invited,
105
00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:08,638
from noble to farmer.
106
00:09:08,638 --> 00:09:11,448
1,500 tea stalls were built.
107
00:09:11,448 --> 00:09:12,784
1,500!
108
00:09:12,784 --> 00:09:14,747
A party of rabble.
109
00:09:15,381 --> 00:09:21,458
The regent displayed his finest
tea things and looked delighted.
110
00:09:21,458 --> 00:09:23,828
An upstart showing off!
111
00:09:23,828 --> 00:09:25,459
Tea is a warrior's art!
112
00:09:25,459 --> 00:09:26,628
Useless in war!
113
00:09:26,628 --> 00:09:28,364
Not so.
114
00:09:30,396 --> 00:09:32,737
I'm taking my treasured
tea things with me.
115
00:09:32,737 --> 00:09:34,243
Sire!
116
00:09:34,243 --> 00:09:36,606
You're not going on a picnic!
117
00:09:37,036 --> 00:09:39,043
I know.
118
00:09:39,372 --> 00:09:40,092
I see! I see!
119
00:10:00,293 --> 00:10:02,464
Now you jest.
120
00:10:02,464 --> 00:10:04,600
I'm not joking.
121
00:10:05,732 --> 00:10:07,903
Lord Masamune has so ordered.
122
00:10:09,936 --> 00:10:13,778
You are to return
to your home in Iizaka...
123
00:10:13,778 --> 00:10:18,983
to be safe in case the
regent punishes our lord.
124
00:10:18,983 --> 00:10:21,284
Be grateful.
125
00:10:21,284 --> 00:10:24,383
Will Lady Mego return
to her home?
126
00:10:24,383 --> 00:10:28,658
She is our lord's wife.
She must look after his home.
127
00:10:28,658 --> 00:10:30,723
I will, too.
128
00:10:30,723 --> 00:10:34,361
Silence!
Who do you think you are?
129
00:10:34,361 --> 00:10:36,996
Who do you think you are?
130
00:10:36,996 --> 00:10:39,070
Obstinate woman.
131
00:10:39,398 --> 00:10:43,365
Do you think our lord can love
a barren concubine?
132
00:10:45,371 --> 00:10:49,040
I am with child.
133
00:10:49,475 --> 00:10:50,519
What?
134
00:10:51,444 --> 00:10:54,545
I carry Lord Masamune's child.
135
00:10:55,481 --> 00:10:57,357
Another prank!
136
00:10:59,385 --> 00:11:02,003
Don't lie to avoid the situation!
137
00:11:02,722 --> 00:11:06,132
You lied about it once before!
138
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,063
That was in fun.
139
00:11:10,797 --> 00:11:12,331
This time, it's true.
140
00:11:12,331 --> 00:11:14,905
Then have the doctor verify it!
141
00:11:14,905 --> 00:11:16,071
No!
142
00:11:16,602 --> 00:11:20,612
He is a man. I don't
want to expose my body.
143
00:11:20,612 --> 00:11:25,252
There, now! The whole
castle knows of your lies!
144
00:11:25,252 --> 00:11:28,279
Your conceit is unbearable!
145
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:30,049
Silence!
146
00:11:30,383 --> 00:11:33,122
A disloyal woman who
cannot obey in crisis...
147
00:11:33,122 --> 00:11:35,596
cannot serve our lord!
148
00:11:35,596 --> 00:11:37,224
Begone, Kita!
149
00:11:38,257 --> 00:11:40,696
You are insolent to
call me disloyal!
150
00:11:41,527 --> 00:11:45,507
Our lord's son will
never allow it.
151
00:11:48,534 --> 00:11:50,244
With child?
152
00:11:50,469 --> 00:11:52,879
I think it is a lie.
153
00:11:53,906 --> 00:11:58,014
When I informed her that
she would be sent home,
154
00:11:58,744 --> 00:12:02,083
she suddenly said
she was with child.
155
00:12:02,083 --> 00:12:03,614
Is her belly big?
156
00:12:04,649 --> 00:12:07,255
She said she just conceived.
157
00:12:08,087 --> 00:12:10,122
You mustn't be fooled.
158
00:12:10,122 --> 00:12:13,630
A woman will lie to
achieve her ends.
159
00:12:14,060 --> 00:12:21,005
Perhaps she will coax you
into making written promises.
160
00:12:21,701 --> 00:12:23,043
Summon Neko.
161
00:12:25,071 --> 00:12:29,346
If she's lying,
I'll kill her.
162
00:12:30,376 --> 00:12:32,647
Leave that to me.
163
00:12:32,647 --> 00:12:35,256
An execution will leave
a bad taste in your mouth.
164
00:12:35,681 --> 00:12:40,017
You must leave for Odawara
with a clear mind.
165
00:12:53,733 --> 00:13:00,035
The next day, Lady Neko was
sent back to her parents.
166
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:05,677
My lord...
167
00:13:11,317 --> 00:13:13,488
Odawara will be difficult.
168
00:13:13,488 --> 00:13:18,131
That is why our lord
is taking you, Kojuro.
169
00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:21,294
A short-tempered man like
me would ruin everything.
170
00:13:21,294 --> 00:13:24,028
The future is uncertain
for me, too.
171
00:13:24,864 --> 00:13:26,933
You're just going
there to die?
172
00:13:26,933 --> 00:13:28,205
Our only hope...
173
00:13:28,205 --> 00:13:32,108
Is the intervention of Lord
Tokugawa, Lord Asano, and Lord Maeda.
174
00:13:32,108 --> 00:13:35,307
Evil goblins.
You can't count on them.
175
00:13:51,991 --> 00:13:52,969
Kojuro...
176
00:13:54,994 --> 00:13:57,961
We may never meet again.
177
00:14:01,734 --> 00:14:03,939
I'd like to thank you.
178
00:14:04,971 --> 00:14:10,182
Thank you for guiding a willful,
blunt man like me.
179
00:14:10,182 --> 00:14:11,646
Sir Shigezane!
180
00:14:13,379 --> 00:14:19,853
Even when I disagreed with you,
I inwardly agreed.
181
00:14:19,853 --> 00:14:23,056
I couldn't stop myself
from disagreeing.
182
00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:29,202
I wanted to outsmart you,
to impress you.
183
00:14:36,669 --> 00:14:42,910
You've made me what I am.
184
00:14:44,276 --> 00:14:48,046
Thank you for your kind words.
185
00:14:51,884 --> 00:14:57,522
I'm interfering in your
last night together.
186
00:14:58,557 --> 00:14:59,864
I'll drink to your departure,
187
00:14:59,864 --> 00:15:03,063
and dance one last dance.
188
00:15:03,596 --> 00:15:06,967
Otsuta, please play the drum.
189
00:15:06,967 --> 00:15:07,717
Certainly.
190
00:15:13,806 --> 00:15:15,716
May 11...
191
00:15:15,716 --> 00:15:20,453
Masamune's party left
Aizu Wakamatsu for Odawara.
192
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,618
However, there were many
Hojo sympathizers in Kanto.
193
00:15:25,618 --> 00:15:30,826
With only 100 men,
it was difficult to break through.
194
00:15:31,857 --> 00:15:35,597
Your might is known in Kanto.
195
00:15:35,597 --> 00:15:38,936
We should fight
our way through.
196
00:15:38,936 --> 00:15:40,373
That won't be necessary.
197
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:44,540
If we're detained here,
it will be embarrassing.
198
00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:46,570
A good excuse for tardiness.
199
00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:50,378
We can't arrive after
Odawara Castle falls.
200
00:15:50,378 --> 00:15:55,387
Lord Hojo is a proud
Kanto warrior.
201
00:15:55,387 --> 00:16:00,381
Odawara Castle is more
than a mile in length.
202
00:16:00,381 --> 00:16:04,088
They have weapons and
supplies to last over a year.
203
00:16:04,623 --> 00:16:09,101
They might rally at the
end of a long siege.
204
00:16:09,101 --> 00:16:12,004
Siege is Hideyoshi's specialty.
205
00:16:12,004 --> 00:16:15,305
Remember the famous
siege of Takamatsu.
206
00:16:17,003 --> 00:16:20,070
Reporting.
A message from Lord Shigezane!
207
00:16:23,209 --> 00:16:26,313
The Soma crossed our borders,
208
00:16:26,313 --> 00:16:29,749
and are fighting the Watari
at Komagamine!
209
00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:31,316
What?!
210
00:16:31,316 --> 00:16:33,005
So they've come!
211
00:16:33,419 --> 00:16:34,624
Damn Soma...!
212
00:16:34,624 --> 00:16:36,688
Taking advantage of our absence...!
213
00:16:36,688 --> 00:16:39,460
Kuniyori, send the call to arms!
214
00:16:39,460 --> 00:16:40,180
We're going home!
215
00:16:42,228 --> 00:16:43,001
What did you say?
216
00:16:43,001 --> 00:16:44,062
Hurry, Kuniyori!
217
00:16:44,062 --> 00:16:45,039
We return north!
218
00:16:45,831 --> 00:16:48,309
You're not going
to fight the Soma?
219
00:16:48,309 --> 00:16:50,037
The Mogami are behind this!
220
00:16:52,471 --> 00:16:54,506
Masamune acted swiftly.
221
00:16:54,506 --> 00:16:58,814
In one day,
they had passed through Aizu...
222
00:16:58,814 --> 00:17:02,211
and reached Yonezawa Castle.
223
00:17:09,555 --> 00:17:13,968
"Date" was originally
read "Idate."
224
00:17:13,968 --> 00:17:16,964
It meant "heavenly warrior."
225
00:17:16,964 --> 00:17:21,906
Masamune's lighting swiftness...
226
00:17:21,906 --> 00:17:24,435
suited that name.
227
00:17:26,472 --> 00:17:28,416
Watari father and son...
228
00:17:28,416 --> 00:17:33,911
took over 200 Soma heads
at Azuhata on the 18th.
229
00:17:33,911 --> 00:17:36,390
A great victory.
230
00:17:38,417 --> 00:17:40,554
YONEZAWA CASTLE
Good work.
231
00:17:40,554 --> 00:17:43,655
Masamune stayed at
Yonezawa for a few days,
232
00:17:43,655 --> 00:17:45,724
keeping the Mogami in check.
233
00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:51,335
In charge of Yonezawa Castle was
his uncle, Rusu Masakage.
234
00:17:52,064 --> 00:17:55,303
Lady of the East is at
Yamagata Castle...
235
00:17:55,303 --> 00:17:58,042
under the protection of Yoshiaki.
236
00:17:58,671 --> 00:18:02,711
She became a nun and is
called Hoshunin.
237
00:18:02,711 --> 00:18:06,379
Uncle, please don't
speak of her.
238
00:18:07,413 --> 00:18:10,380
She is no longer my mother.
239
00:18:15,287 --> 00:18:21,090
Iizaka Muneyasu wishes
to see you, sire.
240
00:18:21,727 --> 00:18:23,000
Send him in.
241
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,869
Muneyasu.
242
00:18:27,833 --> 00:18:32,202
The lord of Iizaka Castle
was Neko's father.
243
00:18:39,845 --> 00:18:45,218
I am honored to see you again.
244
00:18:45,218 --> 00:18:46,354
State your business.
245
00:18:48,487 --> 00:18:54,661
At the cost of my life,
I say that I resent you.
246
00:18:54,661 --> 00:18:56,262
Resent me?
247
00:18:56,262 --> 00:18:57,534
Insolent wretch!
248
00:18:57,534 --> 00:18:58,706
Please, sir.
249
00:18:59,365 --> 00:19:05,408
I wish to discuss my daughter,
whom you dismissed.
250
00:19:05,408 --> 00:19:10,146
She deceived me twice.
She said she was with child!
251
00:19:10,976 --> 00:19:13,579
Upon returning to Iizaka,
252
00:19:13,579 --> 00:19:18,960
she suffered a miscarriage!
253
00:19:19,852 --> 00:19:21,830
Miscarriage?
254
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:23,027
She was pregnant?
255
00:19:24,156 --> 00:19:28,194
A terrible tragedy.
256
00:19:30,729 --> 00:19:35,096
The journey from Wakamatsu
was a rough one.
257
00:19:36,802 --> 00:19:42,242
The doctors say that was
the cause of the miscarriage.
258
00:19:42,242 --> 00:19:45,115
You're not fabricating this?
259
00:19:45,944 --> 00:19:51,050
I am a warlord!
I do not lie!
260
00:19:51,784 --> 00:19:54,754
If you doubt my word,
I'll kill myself!
261
00:19:54,754 --> 00:19:55,754
Hold on!
262
00:20:14,106 --> 00:20:16,050
Is Neko all right?
263
00:20:20,077 --> 00:20:24,415
Her grief was so great,
she remains in bed.
264
00:20:35,394 --> 00:20:36,961
Tell Neko...
265
00:20:40,733 --> 00:20:42,109
I'm sorry.
266
00:20:45,637 --> 00:20:47,604
Tell her I apologize.
267
00:21:21,273 --> 00:21:23,876
After leaving Yonezawa Castle,
268
00:21:23,876 --> 00:21:25,850
Masamune took
a strange course.
269
00:21:26,278 --> 00:21:30,648
He turned toward Yamagata,
away from Odawara.
270
00:21:31,183 --> 00:21:33,854
Moreover, he went west,
271
00:21:33,854 --> 00:21:36,330
and entered Echigo
through Oguni Pass.
272
00:21:36,330 --> 00:21:39,868
Then he turned toward
Odawara on the Shinano Road.
273
00:21:40,893 --> 00:21:43,337
Was he stalling for time?
274
00:21:43,337 --> 00:21:46,630
Or was it a show of defiance?
275
00:21:49,285 --> 00:21:50,824
SOKOKURA
276
00:21:50,824 --> 00:21:54,771
Surrounded by Hideyoshi's
220,000 men,
277
00:21:55,021 --> 00:21:57,568
nothing could enter or leave
Odawara Castle.
278
00:21:58,510 --> 00:22:01,920
Upon his arrival on June 5,
279
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:08,051
Masamune was given quarters
at Sokokura, a spa in Hakone.
280
00:22:21,633 --> 00:22:24,009
We are surrounded
by steep cliffs.
281
00:22:24,536 --> 00:22:28,550
If they attack,
we are finished.
282
00:22:29,575 --> 00:22:33,179
They stuck us at the
floor of a valley.
283
00:22:33,912 --> 00:22:36,549
Is this how they treat the
administrator of Oshu?
284
00:22:36,549 --> 00:22:40,557
After all,
we did arrive late.
285
00:22:42,588 --> 00:22:46,601
We're like helpless fish.
Fate will take its course.
286
00:22:46,601 --> 00:22:50,532
We may not even get to
see the regent.
287
00:22:50,762 --> 00:22:53,065
We might all be executed.
288
00:22:53,398 --> 00:22:56,671
We'll go down fighting.
289
00:22:56,671 --> 00:22:58,280
It's too soon to give up.
290
00:22:58,704 --> 00:23:01,500
We came in time for
the fall of Odawara Castle.
291
00:23:03,108 --> 00:23:07,314
If we're only allowed to help
attack the castle...
292
00:23:07,314 --> 00:23:08,414
Kuniyori...
293
00:23:09,414 --> 00:23:11,414
Tell the men...
294
00:23:11,414 --> 00:23:13,621
Until we receive some word,
295
00:23:13,621 --> 00:23:16,323
they are to behave
themselves and wait.
296
00:23:16,323 --> 00:23:17,889
Yes, sir.
297
00:23:17,889 --> 00:23:20,094
Let's all bathe in the hot springs...
298
00:23:20,094 --> 00:23:22,432
and get a good night's rest.
299
00:23:22,432 --> 00:23:26,731
Let us dream of running
Hideyoshi ragged.
300
00:23:28,165 --> 00:23:30,732
Not so loud!
301
00:23:36,341 --> 00:23:39,080
The next day,
there was still no word,
302
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,017
and Masamune's company
grew restless and nervous.
303
00:23:43,849 --> 00:23:46,418
Finally, on the 7th,
304
00:23:46,418 --> 00:23:48,020
distinguished samurai
arrived at Sokokura...
305
00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:51,020
as emissaries of Hideyoshi.
306
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:57,027
They have arrived.
307
00:24:21,086 --> 00:24:24,062
This is Lord Maeda Toshiie.
308
00:24:25,991 --> 00:24:29,258
Lord Asano Nagamasa.
309
00:24:31,196 --> 00:24:34,163
Lord Maeda Gen'i.
310
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,303
Sir Seyakuin Zenzo.
311
00:24:38,337 --> 00:24:41,904
Sir Inaba Zejobo.
312
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:49,213
Raise your head, Lord Date.
313
00:24:54,319 --> 00:25:00,063
I am administrator of Oshu,
Date Tojiro Masamune.
314
00:25:01,493 --> 00:25:04,437
It is an honor...
315
00:25:04,437 --> 00:25:11,075
to meet such distinguished
men as yourselves.
316
00:25:12,704 --> 00:25:15,842
Thank you for coming.
317
00:25:17,876 --> 00:25:21,786
Are you comfortable in Sokokura?
318
00:25:22,814 --> 00:25:24,485
Thank you.
319
00:25:24,485 --> 00:25:26,483
The accommodations
are most fine.
320
00:25:31,723 --> 00:25:33,595
Lord Date...
321
00:25:34,726 --> 00:25:39,029
We are here as emissaries
for Regent Hideyoshi.
322
00:25:39,364 --> 00:25:40,565
First...
323
00:25:42,401 --> 00:25:47,368
Please explain your
conspicuous tardiness.
324
00:25:49,508 --> 00:25:55,277
Hojo sympathizers in Kanto
tried to intercept us.
325
00:25:56,014 --> 00:26:01,016
We were forced to take
the Shinano Road.
326
00:26:02,254 --> 00:26:05,061
The regent is also
displeased that...
327
00:26:05,061 --> 00:26:12,966
you have repeatedly refused
to pay your respects to him.
328
00:26:12,966 --> 00:26:17,465
Why have you not come to
Kyoto to pay your respects?
329
00:26:20,605 --> 00:26:27,208
In this case, "paying respects" meant
submitting to Hideyoshi as his vassal.
330
00:26:27,208 --> 00:26:32,012
You are absolutely right.
331
00:26:32,651 --> 00:26:37,027
I should have gone immediately
to pay my respects.
332
00:26:37,956 --> 00:26:41,264
However, there has been
continuing strife in Ou.
333
00:26:42,294 --> 00:26:44,329
As administrator of Oshu,
334
00:26:44,329 --> 00:26:47,829
it was my duty to
suppress the unrest.
335
00:26:47,829 --> 00:26:52,133
Being so occupied,
I was unable to go to Kyoto.
336
00:26:53,371 --> 00:26:58,577
Why did you conquer Aizu
and take Kurokawa Castle?
337
00:26:59,611 --> 00:27:05,258
In 1585, Lord Ouchi
Sadatsuna ruled the Sendo.
338
00:27:05,258 --> 00:27:07,852
He was a Date vassal,
339
00:27:07,852 --> 00:27:12,266
but he defected to the Aizu,
so we fought him.
340
00:27:13,291 --> 00:27:19,526
When that resulted in my father's death,
we also conquered Nihonmatsu.
341
00:27:20,732 --> 00:27:28,570
Thereupon, Ashina Yoshihiro,
Satake Yoshishige,
342
00:27:28,570 --> 00:27:30,607
and Iwaki Tsunetaka
attacked us.
343
00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:34,109
In the end, we were also
forced to conquer Aizu.
344
00:27:36,214 --> 00:27:41,158
Ouchi Sadatsuna surrendered
and joined the Date,
345
00:27:41,158 --> 00:27:43,253
so I have brought him
as a witness.
346
00:27:46,358 --> 00:27:51,096
Please feel free
to question him.
347
00:27:52,631 --> 00:27:54,234
Tell me...
348
00:27:55,834 --> 00:28:00,941
Mogami Yoshiaki is the
brother of your mother?
349
00:28:00,941 --> 00:28:02,047
Yes.
350
00:28:02,374 --> 00:28:04,318
Why are you enemies?
351
00:28:06,344 --> 00:28:12,151
Yoshiaki persuaded my vassal
Ayugai Munenobu to revolt!
352
00:28:12,884 --> 00:28:16,794
You have also broken
with the Soma.
353
00:28:16,794 --> 00:28:21,530
After the death of my
father-in-law, Tamura Kiyoaki,
354
00:28:21,530 --> 00:28:23,833
Soma Yoshitane tried
to take his lands.
355
00:28:23,833 --> 00:28:25,599
What about Osaki?
356
00:28:26,031 --> 00:28:29,168
We clashed over border disputes.
357
00:28:29,168 --> 00:28:34,674
Satake, Aizu, Iwaki, Mogami,
Soma, Osaki...
358
00:28:34,674 --> 00:28:37,184
it's surprising that they
all are enemies.
359
00:28:37,184 --> 00:28:40,212
Every one of them
attacked first.
360
00:28:40,846 --> 00:28:43,083
You are partly blame!
361
00:28:45,517 --> 00:28:47,154
That is shocking to hear...
362
00:28:55,026 --> 00:29:00,969
Lord Date, you came to assist
in fighting the Hojo.
363
00:29:00,969 --> 00:29:04,142
Don't you think a hundred
horsemen are rather few?
364
00:29:06,171 --> 00:29:10,275
If I had brought a large army,
365
00:29:10,275 --> 00:29:14,184
Ou would be torn with strife.
366
00:29:15,213 --> 00:29:19,460
I left my armies behind...
367
00:29:19,460 --> 00:29:21,927
to save the regent the trouble
of pacifying Ou.
368
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:22,677
Save him the trouble, huh?
369
00:29:25,323 --> 00:29:33,205
You mean to return Aizu
to the regent, then?
370
00:29:34,232 --> 00:29:35,503
Return Aizu?
371
00:29:35,934 --> 00:29:36,991
Answer me!
372
00:29:44,009 --> 00:29:48,520
First, let me ask...
373
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,727
is Hideyoshi here on
Imperial orders?
374
00:29:52,727 --> 00:29:56,127
Yes, he marched here
on Imperial order.
375
00:29:56,127 --> 00:30:00,990
Then I don't return Aizu,
I transfer it to him.
376
00:30:03,028 --> 00:30:05,004
What?
377
00:30:05,931 --> 00:30:08,875
The Date have always
revered the Emperor.
378
00:30:08,875 --> 00:30:12,572
The reason I conquered Aizu...
379
00:30:13,605 --> 00:30:18,572
was so that I could safely
welcome the regent!
380
00:30:19,344 --> 00:30:25,381
Therefore, I don't return Aizu,
I transfer it to him!
381
00:30:33,458 --> 00:30:35,425
You got me!
382
00:30:40,632 --> 00:30:41,769
Very well.
383
00:30:42,801 --> 00:30:48,308
I'll give your explanation
to the regent.
384
00:30:49,341 --> 00:30:50,381
Thank you, my lord.
385
00:30:54,112 --> 00:30:56,079
Gentlemen...
386
00:31:11,429 --> 00:31:15,433
Asano Nagamasa's wife was
sister of Kita-no-mandokoro.
387
00:31:15,433 --> 00:31:17,240
He was Hideyoshi's
brother-in-law.
388
00:31:18,269 --> 00:31:23,036
Maeda Toshiie was building
the great province of Kaga.
389
00:31:23,541 --> 00:31:27,005
Seyakuin Zenso was
Hideyoshi's spokesman.
390
00:31:27,512 --> 00:31:31,479
Zejobo and Maeda Genin were
famous strategists.
391
00:31:33,718 --> 00:31:35,855
How impressive!
392
00:31:35,855 --> 00:31:39,024
The most famous
warlords of the day!
393
00:31:39,557 --> 00:31:44,005
They paid proper respect
to the lord of Oshu.
394
00:31:44,005 --> 00:31:48,631
They probably came to
observe our lord's ability.
395
00:31:48,631 --> 00:31:49,973
Ability?
396
00:31:49,973 --> 00:31:52,479
Our lord responded brilliantly,
not yielding a step.
397
00:31:52,479 --> 00:31:57,471
They were struck
with admiration.
398
00:31:58,877 --> 00:32:01,344
How will Hideyoshi take that?
399
00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:03,421
Reporting.
400
00:32:04,249 --> 00:32:07,524
Lord Yuki Hideyasu has arrived.
401
00:32:07,852 --> 00:32:09,352
Yuki Hideyasu?
402
00:32:09,352 --> 00:32:11,365
What does he want?
403
00:32:11,365 --> 00:32:16,466
Tokugawa Ieyasu wished to
see you secretly at his camp.
404
00:32:16,466 --> 00:32:20,461
Lord Hideyasu will
take you to him.
405
00:32:39,106 --> 00:32:42,073
Yuki Hideyasu was Ieyasu's
second son,
406
00:32:42,454 --> 00:32:45,189
the adopted son
of Hideyoshi.
407
00:32:47,025 --> 00:32:48,192
Halt!
408
00:32:54,499 --> 00:32:56,000
I'll join you.
409
00:32:57,035 --> 00:32:59,002
Come right ahead.
410
00:33:05,243 --> 00:33:06,948
What happened to
your right eye?
411
00:33:07,578 --> 00:33:09,120
Did you lose it in battle?
412
00:33:09,848 --> 00:33:11,417
I left it home.
413
00:33:11,417 --> 00:33:13,154
Home?
414
00:33:13,154 --> 00:33:16,219
My left eye is enough
to fight at Odawara.
415
00:33:16,219 --> 00:33:19,323
My right eye must keep
watch over Oshu.
416
00:33:19,323 --> 00:33:20,624
To "look" good!
417
00:33:30,313 --> 00:33:33,950
IEYASU'S CAMP
418
00:33:42,313 --> 00:33:43,950
Father.
419
00:33:43,950 --> 00:33:47,790
I have brought the
"Terror of Oshu."
420
00:33:51,456 --> 00:33:52,593
Lord Masamune...
421
00:34:09,474 --> 00:34:13,043
I am honored to meet you.
422
00:34:13,578 --> 00:34:17,020
I am Date Tojiro Masamune.
423
00:34:18,149 --> 00:34:22,057
I'm Ieyasu.
Thank you for coming.
424
00:34:23,188 --> 00:34:24,859
Thank you for allowing us
safe passage...
425
00:34:24,859 --> 00:34:32,856
through Echigo, Shinano,
and Kai.
426
00:34:33,331 --> 00:34:35,138
Such a roundabout route?
427
00:34:35,138 --> 00:34:38,542
He would have been executed.
428
00:34:38,542 --> 00:34:43,046
Time was needed for the
regent's anger to subside.
429
00:34:43,046 --> 00:34:44,245
You beat me.
430
00:34:44,245 --> 00:34:48,579
You aren't safe yet.
431
00:34:50,615 --> 00:34:55,582
For your age, you are
a man of great ability.
432
00:34:55,787 --> 00:35:00,433
Asano Nagamasa and
Maeda Toshiie...
433
00:35:00,433 --> 00:35:03,766
marveled at your eloquent
explanations.
434
00:35:03,766 --> 00:35:09,307
They said you are truly the
One-Eyed Dragon of Oshu.
435
00:35:09,307 --> 00:35:10,834
It is most embarrassing.
436
00:35:10,834 --> 00:35:12,835
However...
437
00:35:16,207 --> 00:35:19,076
Hideyoshi is no ordinary man.
438
00:35:20,311 --> 00:35:26,423
It might be unwise to speak
with too much eloquence.
439
00:35:26,423 --> 00:35:32,058
A good argument will be
useless if you lose your life.
440
00:35:32,590 --> 00:35:34,057
Use discretion.
441
00:35:38,396 --> 00:35:40,099
Use discretion.
442
00:35:41,532 --> 00:35:45,001
I shall follow your kind advice.
443
00:35:47,205 --> 00:35:53,109
Hideyoshi is devoted to
the pursuit of elegance.
444
00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:55,383
To his camp...
445
00:35:55,383 --> 00:36:02,986
he has summoned Noh players,
poets, and tea masters.
446
00:36:03,187 --> 00:36:05,222
I have heard...
447
00:36:05,222 --> 00:36:08,757
even the famous
Sen Rikyu is here.
448
00:36:08,757 --> 00:36:10,000
Yes.
449
00:36:10,962 --> 00:36:13,770
Forgive me, but being
a country samurai,
450
00:36:13,770 --> 00:36:18,872
I would like to attend a
Kyoto master's tea ceremony.
451
00:36:19,771 --> 00:36:24,375
It would be a lifelong honor
to see Rikyu perform.
452
00:36:26,411 --> 00:36:31,082
Please arrange it for me.
453
00:36:33,584 --> 00:36:36,119
A worthy request.
454
00:36:37,155 --> 00:36:39,005
I'll consider it.
455
00:36:39,590 --> 00:36:41,090
Thank you, my lord.
456
00:36:41,090 --> 00:36:44,033
But that's not enough.
457
00:36:45,963 --> 00:36:50,236
You need one more thing
to save your neck.
458
00:36:52,270 --> 00:36:55,337
A novel idea.
459
00:36:56,274 --> 00:36:58,048
A novel idea, My lord?
460
00:37:00,078 --> 00:37:02,613
For example, something witty.
461
00:37:03,648 --> 00:37:06,020
Or a gift.
462
00:37:08,353 --> 00:37:11,797
With this prolonged siege,
463
00:37:11,797 --> 00:37:16,090
the regent is suffering
from boredom.
464
00:37:19,297 --> 00:37:21,866
Let's see what a
country daimyo can do.
465
00:37:21,866 --> 00:37:23,774
Leave the rest to chance.
466
00:37:23,774 --> 00:37:28,672
And Hideyoshi's mood
at the time.
467
00:37:29,707 --> 00:37:33,019
Thank you for your
kind advice.
468
00:37:36,047 --> 00:37:40,189
However, there is something
I don't understand.
469
00:37:42,220 --> 00:37:43,596
What is it?
470
00:37:45,623 --> 00:37:50,261
You have been particularly
kind to the Date.
471
00:37:51,295 --> 00:37:55,039
Even on this occasion.
472
00:37:55,967 --> 00:38:00,809
I am curious as
to the reason...
473
00:38:01,572 --> 00:38:03,075
I see.
474
00:38:03,708 --> 00:38:08,821
Not knowing my intentions,
you are apprehensive?
475
00:38:08,821 --> 00:38:10,313
No...!
476
00:38:15,986 --> 00:38:17,468
I am...
477
00:38:18,653 --> 00:38:21,668
...weary of fighting.
478
00:38:23,394 --> 00:38:30,373
If we kill you,
we will have to fight in Oshu.
479
00:38:30,373 --> 00:38:36,138
In my youth, ambition drove me
to kill everyone in my way.
480
00:38:36,974 --> 00:38:41,176
However, as I grow older,
481
00:38:41,913 --> 00:38:46,880
I look for other solutions.
482
00:38:48,386 --> 00:38:55,594
War costs many lives and
our subjects suffer.
483
00:38:56,627 --> 00:39:00,004
The first rule of war is...
484
00:39:01,299 --> 00:39:06,068
to gain surrender
without bloodshed.
485
00:39:08,873 --> 00:39:11,008
If possible,
486
00:39:11,442 --> 00:39:19,409
I wish to have Odawara
Castle surrender peacefully.
487
00:39:22,019 --> 00:39:28,088
Besides, Hojo Ujinao
is my son-in-law.
488
00:39:30,495 --> 00:39:34,002
I can sympathize.
489
00:39:34,832 --> 00:39:41,312
I understand you executed your
own brother before coming here.
490
00:39:41,312 --> 00:39:47,374
It must be quite
shameful for you.
491
00:39:48,813 --> 00:39:50,780
How sad.
492
00:39:58,256 --> 00:40:03,801
Masamune received a summons
to Hideyoshi's camp...
493
00:40:03,801 --> 00:40:07,795
on June 9, 1590.
494
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:15,142
Sire, please allow me
to accompany you!
495
00:40:15,142 --> 00:40:19,318
There's no need.
Wait here for instructions.
496
00:40:19,318 --> 00:40:20,718
But...
497
00:40:20,718 --> 00:40:23,083
Kuniyori, the cords.
498
00:40:34,492 --> 00:40:38,997
Such cords are most unlucky!
499
00:40:38,997 --> 00:40:42,232
It's for a reason.
Do not interfere.
500
00:40:53,530 --> 00:40:57,232
ISHIGAKI YAMA
HIDEYOSHI'S CAMP
501
00:41:00,117 --> 00:41:02,559
Lord Date Masamune
has arrived.
502
00:41:05,587 --> 00:41:07,554
Send him in.
503
00:41:07,858 --> 00:41:08,608
- Please.
- Thank you.
504
00:41:10,494 --> 00:41:12,461
Take note of his appearance.
505
00:41:26,944 --> 00:41:29,117
I have arrived.
506
00:41:29,747 --> 00:41:31,222
I count on your support.
507
00:41:31,649 --> 00:41:34,920
What's that get-up?
508
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,294
A dead man's garb!
509
00:41:38,322 --> 00:41:43,027
I am prepared to face
the regent's wrath.
510
00:41:45,561 --> 00:41:48,931
Lord Ieyasu!
This is no joke!
511
00:41:48,931 --> 00:41:51,410
How dare you
mock the regent!
512
00:41:51,410 --> 00:41:54,312
Change immediately.
513
00:41:54,312 --> 00:41:56,481
Wait.
514
00:41:56,481 --> 00:41:58,917
This is amusing.
515
00:41:58,917 --> 00:42:04,580
The greatest lord of Oshu
in death garb.
516
00:42:04,982 --> 00:42:07,260
He'll be beheaded on the spot.
517
00:42:07,985 --> 00:42:13,132
I am aware of that.
I have no qualms whatsoever!
518
00:42:13,132 --> 00:42:16,029
I will take you to him.
519
00:42:16,861 --> 00:42:19,828
The regent is at
the command post.
520
00:43:00,284 --> 00:43:01,751
There he is.
521
00:43:41,264 --> 00:43:42,614
End of Episode Twenty Three
522
