All language subtitles for Shogun E02_ENGCP

Previously on Shogun.

My name is John Blackthorne.
I'm English.

Pilot of the Erasmus.
A Dutch merchant vessel.

Lies! You're a pirate.

They don't know about us, do they?

Lord Toranaga,

in the year since the Taikō's death,

we have watched with concern

as you've aligned power
against the Council.

If we go to war now,
four armies against one, I will lose.

Which is why you must go
to Ajiro in my place.

Lord Toranaga confiscates this ship…
and all it contains.

Izu is my fief.

It was my understanding
that you were loyal to our lord.

The great
Lord Yoshii Toranaga wants to meet you.

And what does he want with me?

Play with your balls maybe.
How should I know?

I think our fate has brought us together.

You, me,

and this barbarian
who could turn the tide.

Rest, husband.

Please fix your mind on the Buddha.

Where is my son?

Like staring into your mother's eyes.

Perfect endlessness.

Don't be afraid.

Soon I'll be reborn in the Pure Land.

How will I find you there?

Will you still have your eyelashes?

And your fingernails?

So strange, this life…

Just a dream of a dream…

Go to your mother.

The Taikō would like to be alone.

If he doesn't receive the Sacrament,

he'll be lost to God's Kingdom.

Or maybe God's Kingdom is up your own ass…

Have you thought of that?

Toranaga.

Stay.

To think there was a time

when Ochiba could have been married
to you.

I never cared for beautiful women.

And I cared too much.

That night we had too much saké,

do you remember what I told you?

"We've shit too many times in the same pot

to piss on our own feet."

I wish we'd taken Korea together.

I could have given you Japan.

Let it be a gift from your son.

My son…

The vultures are circling.

What would you think…

of becoming sole Regent until he is grown?

If you were to protect him,
I could grant you this title.

Giving my enemies
a perfect reason to unite.

Killing me,

then your son.

I don't seek
that cruel form of punishment.

A very wise answer.

It's been over 100 years since the end
of any true Shōgunate.

All my life I worked
to subdue our infighting.

Now, I fear
the civil wars will start again.

So I've ordered the formation
of a Council of Regents.

Ishido, Kiyama, Ohno, Sugiyama…

and you.

Sharing power until Yaechiyo is sixteen.

A political stalemate.

My lord is the cleverest in the Realm.

I ask you to protect my son

from his enemies and his friends.

Teach him…

the most important lesson…

The man who stands at the greatest height…

is the loneliest man in the Realm.

This English pilot,
how do you mean he is obscene?

You know the sort. Uh, dirty. Diseased.

And he's got a filthy mouth.

He's like a back passage whore
of the 15th rank.

Know what I mean, Father-Visitor?

These journals are proof of his depravity.
Look, Your Eminence.

Sacked, slaughtered and pillaged
his way through Manila.

A real piece of work, that one.
Brutal savage.

So we show these to the Japanese,

and he will be hanged for piracy.

I'm afraid it may not be so simple.

Despite the discord in Osaka,

Toranaga is still
President of Foreign Relations.

He's a thorough man.

I fear he'd want
a complete translation of this journal.

Perhaps a bit too complete.

I'll thank you to leave now.

So you know, this, uh, pirate…

…he's not a man
to leave his fate with God.

I suggest you don't either.

So he knows everything about Macao.

Christ as my witness,

with these bushos
on the verge of open war,

the last thing we need is any discussion
of past entanglements.

Well, then let us be grateful
our visitor does not speak Japanese.

Mmm.

I am going to the castle
where Toranaga has been sequestered.

I am to translate for him this afternoon.

Martin.

These are critical times for the mission.

You will see to it
this man is not a problem.

Greetings, Lord Yaechiyo.

Is he a cannibal, Tsuji?

Toranaga says some barbarians eat humans.

I don't know, Young Master.

But I'll keep my distance, just in case.

Shit.

My apologies, Lord Toranaga.

I hope I haven't kept you waiting.

I hope Lady Mariko's presence
doesn't offend.

I asked that she be here
to practice her Portuguese,

since you are the master.

You flatter me, Lord.

Lady Maria's company is always welcome.

Good morning.

My name is Martin Alvito,
of the Society of Jesus.

You must be the anjin.

What does that mean?

It means "pilot."

The way tsuji means translator for me.

You're in the court
of Lord Yoshii Toranaga.

And I am the interpreter
to the Council of Regents.

Oh, good. So you'll be able to twist
my words in your Portuguese favor.

The Anjin believes
I cannot translate for him truthfully

because I am Portuguese.

What did you just say?

Exactly what you said.
I will translate without prejudice.

Well, seeing as you're so bloody honest,

perhaps you would do me the courtesy
of telling him we are enemies.

Tell him yourself.

The Japanese word for "enemy" is teki.

Gesture at me and say the word.

He will understand.

I may be your enemy,

John Blackthorne of the Erasmus,

but I am not your assassin.

That you will do yourself.

I have given the Anjin the word "enemy"

so he can indicate to you
that we are not friends.

Lady Maria, do you agree?

The Father translates perfectly.

Ask the barbarian
why he is an enemy of my interpreter.

He wants to know
why we are enemies.

Because our countries are at war.

He says
that our countries are in conflict.

And what is your country?

- Tell him where you are from.
- England.

It's an island kingdom
1,000 miles north of Portugal.

His nation is England.

One thousand miles from Portugal.

Tell me.

Why are you at war with Tsuji's kingdom?

Why are you at war
with my kingdom?

Because England refuses
to be intimidated by Catholics.

You are not Catholic?

You are not Catholic?

There are two Christian religions.
Protestant and Catholic.

We English are Protestant.

But both believe Jesus is God?

Yes. Though
I won't know for sure till I'm dead.

Is this why you became a pirate?

To wage war against your Catholic enemies,

in the name of this God
you don't quite believe in?

I am not a pirate.

What about your twenty cannon?

My ship contains
letters of marque

from the rulers of a nation called Holland

authorizing us to trade in all seas

and to defend ourselves
against anyone who dare stop us.

What if it's us who dare stop you?

I cannot conceive
of being an enemy to you, Lord.

I can, very easily.

What then?

Then I would commend my soul to God.

For surely I would die by the hand
of a teki like you.

Move!

This is Lord General Ishido,

Toranaga's chief rival.

If you value your life, do not say a word.

I'm told you've invited
a barbarian to this castle.

Bow. Fast.

How ugly.

With a dog's face.

We should exhibit him
throughout the Empire.

"The Freak from the West."

I find it strange,

with your impeachment so near,

why you've taken an interest in this man.

Surely your final days could be
better spent.

The Christians call him a heretic.
Is it true?

Yes, Lord Ishido.

What an offense he must be to your faith.

The heretic is of no value to me.

If it pleases you,
I'll have my son escort him to prison.

I only wish to keep the peace.

You are to be detained.

For how long?

I do not know, Anjin.
But I will pray for your soul.

What have you told him,
you bastard?

This is fucking great, isn't it?

I was just about to make my point.

There's clearly been
some sort of misunderstanding.

Where are you taking me?

If I've committed some sort of offense,
I apologize.

Apolo... Do any of you people understand
a damn word I'm saying?

You up front, where are you taking me?

No, I protest this treatment!

I'm a guest of your lord, not a prisoner!

Oh, fuck. This is a mistake!

Were his eyes really blue?

Think of the color of a shifting storm.

And…

hair color like this daikon?

I'd say more like this gobo.

You laugh with our son
like he's a lady of the court.

What's this about gobo?

Today, Lord Toranaga invited Mother
to meet a barbarian.

Why were you summoned there?

Our lord wished for me
to practice my Portuguese.

And why would he wish that?

Maybe you know…

why your mother
should be anything outside this house?

Father.

Something to eat?

No. No time.

Lord Toranaga has called another meeting.

Not you.

Ah, Lady Mariko!

Younger and more beautiful than ever.

Lady Kiri,
you are wise and warm and happy,

and you bask in Lord Toranaga's favor.

Just like Lady Shizu, ripe with his son.

Lady Mariko hasn't changed
one bit since we met.

It was sixteen years ago,

at the last feast given by Lord Kuroda.

She was just married.

Even then I knew she was rare.

Don't bother my interpreter, Kiri.

Kiri no kata, please.

I'm an old woman

and I need lots of respect
before I'm dead.

After all these years,
she still picks on me.

And you were as unmanageable
then as you are now.

Just like the size of your rump.

You!

In front of Lord Hiromatsu.

Now I'll have to shave my head
and become a nun.

Excuse me, Lord.

So. Your judgment on today?

The Father is an honest man.

His translation never deceived us.

And the barbarian?

My instinct is to guard against him.

Did it offend you,
what he said about your faith?

My faith would not be sincere
if it could not be tested.

Lord, I'm not as clever as you,

I know that very well.

But what does any of this

have to do with your impeachment?

My grandchild was born
in Edo this morning,

and Lady Ochiba requested
to return to Osaka.

Obviously I've granted it.

To do otherwise
would have been a hostile act.

So now we wait for the Council

to vote on all of our deaths.

Yes.

But my spies tell me

this barbarian troubles the Portuguese.

They will soon ask the Christian Regents,
Kiyama and Ohno,

to protest his presence in Osaka.

And why should we care
about the Christian Regents?

Because our lord can only be impeached

if the Council votes as one.

He uses the barbarian to sow division

between Ishido and the Christian lords.

You could use some
of your daughter-in-law's intuition.

Lord, but are you certain…

Sankichi!

Let's go.

Amen.

Hurry up.

The senhor is real?

Who are you?

Make room for our friend.

You are safe here.

Children of my flock.

Persecuted for their faith.

You speak Portuguese, yet not Portuguese.

Speak the truth before God.

I'm English.

The Jesuits put you here too, then.

Jesuits put you here?

You should let me
give you absolution.

Are these men all marked for death?

Death is
the only punishment here.

Father, there's been a mistake,

I am a guest of a Lord Toranaga.
I'm not meant to be here.

Toranaga brought you to Osaka?

Yes. And I must be allowed to leave.

Dear God.
You're a child in the wilderness.

You don't know their games.

Toranaga is a prisoner in Osaka Castle.

Isolated by his rivals
on the Council of Regents.

There's Sugiyama, descended
from the richest samurai family in Japan.

Ohno, a feared warrior

whose affliction of leprosy
led him into the arms of the church.

And Kiyama,

a man whose faith in Christ is guided
only by his greed and ambition.

All of them are in the palm of Ishido,
caretaker of the castle.

Any day now, these men will vote
on Toranaga's demise.

Hear me, my son,

I alone will tell you the truth.

If Toranaga claimed you as an ally,

you'll never leave Japan alive.

So the birth went well,
the baby is healthy,

and the Heir's mother has been permitted
to leave Edo.

It seems Toranaga will accept his fate.

Thanks to your leadership, Lord Ishido.

Thank me after we put an end
to Toranaga's threat.

Let us vote.

Lord Ishido…

There's one item of business.

It concerns a heretic.

Brought here by Toranaga.

Yes, I saw him.

I protested,
and Toranaga sent him to prison.

Unfortunately,
his imprisonment is not sufficient.

There have been unsettling stories

about the massacre of Christians
at this man's hand.

Appalling.

Is there proof?

The priests possess
the heretic's private letters.

We must politely demand
this man be executed.

Before we vote.

It's funny, what becomes clear
as years go by.

This morning I woke up
and saw us as Toranaga must see us.

Bureaucrats.

While we are stamping our documents,

Toranaga flaunts our rules
and uses them against us.

The heretic offends our God.

I wonder if you'd be
so devoted to this god,

were it not for the riches
his priests heap upon you.

I won't delay this any further.

I demand a vote on Toranaga.

In the name of the Lord Jesus…

the heretic first must die.

Toranaga was born Minowara,

a name that carries great weight in Japan.

For centuries,

his ancestors dominated this country,

carrying with them a divine mandate.

Mandate?

A title revered through the ages.

The ultimate rank a mortal can achieve.

Shogun.

And Toranaga, does he seek this title?

Who knows what lurks
in the heart of a Minowara?

Sōbei!

Another soul
for every hour of the day.

There's nothing for you to fear now.

You'll die a martyr, on the cross perhaps.

I'm sorry, Father.

I didn't come all this way
around the world just to die on a cross.

Then why did you?

You came here to wage war.

I would have stood by you.

I came here in '72, clutching my rosary.

Visions of the souls I would save.

Then I learned
the true tenets of the cloth.

Silk, gold and guns.

These Jesuits care nothing for the souls.

They made an idol
of that cursed black ship.

That's how they dominate trade.

The Chinese hate Japan,

so all trade goes through the Portuguese.

It's usury.

The late Taiko
even tried to put a stop to it,

but the Church incited a rebellion,

smuggled guns
from that secret base in Macao.

- Macao?
- Mmm.

I met a man who said
he'd been to that fortress.

Said there were Japanese soldiers,
hundreds of them,

all converted to Catholicism.

Are you telling me
the lords here don't know?

It's too late for that now.

You don't understand. I must tell them!

That's my way out.

You can't play their game.

Their rules are too opaque,

their hearts too guarded.

You don't know me.

I've known a thousand of you.

How many different ways
I can tell you I don't give a shit?

Here we are! Let's go!

Fuck!

Come on.

Let's go.

You and Carlos have
to get your story straight.

You told me you had the manifest.
Fuck off.

On your way to the castle, Father?

Good morning, Captain.

As you know, I've had no word.

As soon as Toranaga calls on me
to permit the Black Ship to depart,

you will be the first to know.

That's what I'm worried about, see.

Hearing the old monkey is
not long for this world.

The Church is doing all it can
to keep your business running on time.

You mean our business.

Cocksucking pig.

What joy it brings me
to see you keeping up your prayers.

Ah, Father.

Are you visiting Lord Toranaga?

Dropping off papers.

How long since your family arrived?

We've been in Osaka for a week.

Please.

And which is
your stronger tongue now?

Portuguese or Latin?

I have more occasion
to practice Portuguese.

But it comes slowly.

To this day you remain my best pupil.

Though I must admit my surprise
seeing you yesterday,

Toranaga involving you in his affairs.

I do not wish
to translate anymore.

I do not like this man,
the way he speaks to you.

You have always had good instincts
about those with bad intentions.

Lady Maria.

The dark thoughts you have confessed
to me in the past,

are they still with you?

I trust you know I pray for you.

On this matter and others.

Especially with the heretic.

I read his journals.

Whatever your heart tells you about him,

he is guilty of worse.

Lord, excuse me.

Lord Ishido is here.

- Let him through.
- Yes, sir.

Here is the proud samurai

I once pulled from under a mountain
of Korean corpses.

And here is the proud general
who will never let me forget it.

Toranaga hasn't had the manners
to host you at the castle?

Somehow the invitation was lost.

I never understood why you declared
fealty to that Minowara.

He knows nothing of gratitude.

See those walls?

When the Taikō was building this castle,

all lords in the Realm gave
their finest stones.

He chose mine as the corner piece.

And rewarded me
with a seat on the Council.

It's a fine stone.

Tell me about this barbarian
you brought to Osaka.

He's a pirate.

A man of little character.

Brash and simple.

What does Toranaga see in him?

Perhaps it's what he represents.

Twenty cannon, five hundred guns…

Japan has such things.

…and a hatred of the Portuguese.

He believes the Christian Regents will
soon be our enemies.

Nonsense.

Our Council is united.

But go on.

I'm only thinking of the future.

What might happen
when Toranaga is impeached and dead.

And you with him, as his ally.

Yes that's true.

But looking past myself…

You would have the most power.

Yet you would next have to contend
with Kiyama and Ohno,

with their Christian support.

It's a war I would lose.

But if you had this barbarian,

and a vassal to control him,

things might be different.

It's only a shame I had to approve
the barbarian's execution.

The Christian Regents demanded it.

There was nothing I could do.

Then perhaps there's something I could do.

Anjin!

Your confession, say it quickly.

This can't be.

I'm not supposed to die here.

The Blessed Virgin is
watching over you now.

Confess before me
all sins past and present.

You go with your god, Father.

You are now a prisoner of Lord Kiyama.

Dear Lord, forgive me my pride.

Let this not be my end.

What are you doing on these grounds?

Step out of the way!

Bandits!

Well done.

Thank you.

Listen to him.

Speaking like a civilized man.

He's a smart dog.

Then, let me teach you this...

"I am a dog."

Say it.

"I am a dog."

I am a dog.

That's right. Good boy.

Now, on your knees. Dogs kneel down.

Yes, "I am a dog." That's right.

I am a dog.

Thank you.

All he wants is a good master.

My greatest appreciation, Yabushige.

You've now brought me
this barbarian twice.

I was only lucky…

On his way to his execution,
he was ambushed by bandits.

I only happened to be passing by.

You do have a way

of being in the right place
at the right time.

Yes.

He's dirty.

May I tell him he needs a bath?

Of course, Lord.

But first let us welcome our translator.

Good morning, senhor.

I am to be your interpreter for today.

You speak Portuguese?

It is my honor to learn
the language of my Christian teachers.

Catholic teachers.

I serve Yoshii Toranaga-sama.

My name is Toda Mariko.

John. Blackthorne.

And you should know I'm not Catholic.

Tell the Anjin,

I hope his time in prison wasn't
too difficult.

My lord would like
to say that he is sorry

for the time you spent in prison.

I'm grateful to be alive.

He thanks you.

Our young lord wishes
to know about his country.

Its rulers and customs.

He asks about your country.

Your rulers and customs.

Just this morning I was set for death,
and... And now I'm...

I know I am considered
an enemy in your country.

But I assure you
my queen is wise and thoughtful,

and would want to be your ally.

He claims not to be our enemy,

and says his Queen extends friendship.

Give the Anjin a ladle.

Young Lord, forgive us
for disrespecting your garden.

But I would now like for the Anjin

to draw a map of the world as he knows it.

My master asks
for you to draw a map of the world.

Oh.

Thank you.

Um...

This is the limit of what I know.

The Earth is round.

Like a fruit.

Uh, Japan is here.

My country, England,

is on the other side of the world.

He points out Japan, and England.

We came by way
of Magellan's Pass.

He came through this land mass.

We are the first outsiders to use it

because the Spanish and the Portuguese
kept it secret.

Says it was
a Portuguese and Spanish secret.

And for us,
it was safer to sail this way.

Because we had to avoid
a Portuguese base in Macao.

He claims there is
a Portuguese base in Macao.

It employs Japanese mercenaries.

I'm told you call them ronin.

A secret Catholic fortress
used for gunrunning,

employed during the uprising
some years ago.

A secret base
for gun running. It contains ronin.

The guns were used during the uprising…

I think against the Taikō. I'm not sure.

Tell the Anjin,
later I will want detail to this map.

With all Portuguese bases marked.

My master asks that later, you write
this map and mark the Portuguese bases.

If I may, I will explain now.

This is the way Portugal and Spain
carved up the New World.

Seventy years ago, they signed a treaty
that split undiscovered land between them.

Your country falls
into the Portuguese half.

So it belongs to them.

He believes Portugal and Spain

have divided up this region.

He claims that Japan…

belongs to the Portuguese.

Did he really say "belongs"?

Yes, Lord.

Absurd...

Why not just split the heavens
between ourselves and China?

Be silent.

I'm sorry, sir,

but I assure you
their arrogance is unbelievable.

Please tell him.

It's written into legal documents.

Each Spanish and Portuguese king
has the right

to lay claim to any non-Catholic land
they discover,

and to replace its government
with Catholic rule.

This is a lie.

No.

Do you swear by your god?

Yes, I do.

What did he say?

He says the Portuguese…

want to replace all non-Christian rulers

with leaders of their own.

What do you seek in Japan?

He asks what you seek here.

To vanquish our common enemies.

To enlist you against his enemies.

I think you should abandon this war.

You are outnumbered.

There is no hope for you.

My master says you should
not war against the Portuguese in Japan.

You are outnumbered. It is hopeless.

Unless I win.

He says, "Unless I win."

Tell the Anjin he'll stay
in the West Palace tonight.

It's dangerous out there,
with bandits lurking.

Toranaga-sama has generously
gifted you his personal quarters.

This is a great honor.

I hope you will enjoy.

Is that his?

That battle armor was ordered specially by
Toranaga-sama after he saw it in a dream.

Its style goes back many generations,
all the way to the Minowara shogunate.

Shogun.

I wanted to thank you

for translating so honestly
on my behalf today.

No thanks are necessary.

My efforts are in service of my lord.

How long have you spoken Portuguese?

Fourteen years.

As long as I've been a Christian.

Well, you speak very well.

Hmm.

These women can assist you
in preparation for your bath.

Uh, thank you but I've already bathed.

Oh. In the prison?

No, in the village.

But that was some time ago.

Two baths in a week?

What, do you want me to catch the flux?

For some reason,
the Anjin doesn't wish to bathe.

Wait, Mariko.

I know you hold these priests
in high regard,

but I beg you to consider their motives.

Your lord is in danger.

And I have a ship.

I would advise
against speaking out of turn.

- Yes.
- Oh, and,

you will please address me as Mariko-sama.

The winds have not been favorable lately…

If the Black Ship isn't soon allowed
to leave for Nagasaki,

she won't return in time
for next year's shipment.

So, as you are
President of Foreign Relations,

perhaps it's time you sent her off.

I keep thinking about the profits…

your country's and mine.

There's so much I don't know.

And so much the barbarian seems to know.

I'd like to hold off on the departure
of the Black Ship for now.

The seas can be so dangerous.

Perhaps that's why

your Church is building
secret bases in our region.

Perhaps we should learn
more about these bases

before negotiating further arrangements.

Martin Alvito
has just received word from Toranaga.

He's denied our departure papers
for the Black Ship.

This god-cursed heretic doesn't
even have the decency to ruin us slowly.

Let this be my burden, Father.

What are you doing here so late?

Assassin!

Protect our lord!

What are you doing?

- Where's Lord Toranaga?
- Intruder!

There's an intruder in the castle!

He's in the guest quarters.

No, he's over here.

It's Kayo the maid.

She's looking for Lord Toranaga.

No!

Lord! Are you hurt?

Ishido's gone mad.

- This is war!
- No.

This wasn't Ishido.

I gave my quarters to the Anjin.

Concealed myself in his.

The assassin didn't come for me.

She came for him.
