[door opens]

[pilot] Captain. I was unable to take
any celestial declinations due to--

[captain] The clouds.

[pilot] Yes, the clouds. [panting]

However,

white sand.

By the mark, ten.

Ten fathoms. White sand in the tallow.

You see what you want to see.

The son of a bitch Spaniard's rutter was
right about Magellan's Pass, was it not?

Give it here. The cursed bastard thing
has been the death of us all.

The time has come
for you to start making plans.

You have no food.

As of tonight, no water.

-We'll make land.
-[chuckling]

We'll make land.

Goddamn English pilots.
You never know when to give up.

We'll reach the Japans.

"Japans." Listen to yourself,
that is the scurvy talking.

We'll lay claim to that dark land,
then it's back to Holland.

Rich, having gone round the world.

[groans]

No.

No, Pilot.

Not me.

-Five ships when we began.
-[scoffs]

A crew of over 500.

-[groans]
-We are now barely a single vessel.

At my age, you draw your line.

[sighs]

That would be a coward's way out.

Erasmus remains home
to a dozen men still looking to you--

Looking to me, for what?

We cannot fulfill our mission.
Don't you see, there is nothing!

All right. There you have it.

Pilot.

[whispering] Pilot,
starting to fear is a blessed release.

It's like a-- only a soft wind
in your face.

Can you feel it?

That is the breath of the Almighty.

He's calling us.

Listen.

He's calling us home.

[chuckles]

[hawk chirps]

[hawk owner] Father.

She's splendid.

[chuckles]

Truly.

Conceals herself against the sun.

Conserving energy,

waiting for her moment.

You might never even know she's there.

[sighs]

So.

Shall we go then?

Welcome to Osaka Castle.

Lord Ishido asks that you confine yourself

to your personal quarters.

I'm surprised he actually came.

A wise man knows when his time has ended.

[samurai speaking Japanese]

Well?

I hate Osaka.

This place…

…it's become a real shithole.

[chuckles]

In that case,

let's be done with it.

Welcome to Osaka.

The Council of Regents
appreciates your coming.

This seating arrangement is new.

We thought it appropriate,

under the circumstances.

Lord Toranaga,

in the year since the Taikō's death,

we have watched with concern

as you've aligned power
against the Council.

Which the late Taikō had
good reason to forbid.

What power have I aligned?

Six marriages you've consented to.

And your fief has doubled in size.

If my fellow Regents are concerned,

let me say I am content
as Lord of the Kantō.

I will never be
the first to break any peace.

How strange.

When just this morning,

the Heir's mother was taken
to your castle at Edo.

No warning, no request.

The Lady Ochiba's sister,
my daughter-in-law, is in labor.

Or has Lady Ochiba been taken hostage

to guarantee your safety here?

This is a time of peace, Lord Ishido.

The Lady is no more a hostage in my castle

than I am here, in this one.

[scoffs]

What would the Taikō say
if he were here with us now?

I think he'd be pleased,

knowing the five of us still can't agree.

His dying wish was
for a peaceful sharing of power.

Yes, until his Heir comes of age.

And I look forward to that day.

These meetings are exhausting.

[people gasping]

Then let me put it differently.

The Council has voted
to demand the Lady's return.

Under penalty of impeachment.

The time has come to expose those traitors

who wish to usurp the Heir's power.

Low-born, high-born,
even a Minowara like yourself.

You'll see four signatures.

Lords Kiyama, Sugiyama, Ohno

and myself.

[samurai gasping, grunting]

Your pardon,

but hasn't my lord done everything
according to law?

To call him a traitor
on such flimsy accusations is --

-[samurai grunt]
-[weapons clank]

Tadayoshi, sit down!

-[samurai sigh]
-[breathes shakily]

I'm so sorry,

but I could not bear you
hearing such insults.

Insults?

How dare you imply that
Lord Ishido insulted me?

[breathes shakily]

I ask permission to commit seppuku.

I will end my family line,

and all who carry my name.

My host, please accept my apology.

What's done is done.

Though I must say this childish outburst
is typical of your clan,

and an insult to the Taikō's proud legacy.

You have seven days
to release the Heir's mother from Edo.

And then

we will vote on your fate.

-[horse whinnies]
-[people chattering]

Usami Tadayoshi --

he's married to your granddaughter,
isn't he?

Yes. Fuji, the best
of all my grandchildren.

I'll see to it she lives.

The boy was reckless.

He has only himself to blame.

No,

he was brave.

I don't approve of
all this pointless death.

Then why are we still here?

Trapped in this castle
by bureaucrats who want us dead.

As soon as they have
the Heir's mother back,

they'll vote to kill us all.

[Toranaga] Sorry friend,

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

I must remain here.

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

You're prisoner to your enemies,

days from death --

and you want me to look into
a barbarian ship?

Please leave immediately.

I wonder if you made a mistake, Hiromatsu.

Siding with me instead of
those bureaucrats who want me dead.

The thought has crossed my mind.

[samurai speaking Japanese]

[samurai speaking Japanese]

[samurai speaking Japanese]

[samurai speaking Japanese]

[people chattering]

Everything is to remain on board
for my uncle to inspect.

Lord Yabushige?

I sent word to him as soon as I could.

He wants to see this in person.

[sailor, in English]
How can Jan see? Move over!

[sailor 2]
Can you see what they're doing? Come on.

I think they're towing her in.

Can you tell what they are?
Are they Catholic?

[whispering] Quiet!

It's what I've been telling you.
They're Japanese.

Well, don't all thank
your good fortune at once.

We've reached it.
Portugal's secret empire in the east.

Impossible.

-The orders are still on.
-What part of this is still on?

All I know is we had Spanish ships
to the south and north of us

out of Santa Maria.

And this pilot got us through.

We can still negotiate.
We have goods to trade.

Not to mention, I speak fluent Portuguese.

As soon as the Portuguese tell them
who we are, we'll be hanged.

They don't know who we are

because the rutters are still locked
in the Captain-General's quarters.

And as long as they stay that way,
we are safe.

We're just merchants…

lost at sea,
looking for safe passage home.

You really think it'll work?

Here's what you're missing,
the lot of you.

We've been caught alee, windless,
a speck in the current.

We've endured pestilence,

known starvation, we've chewed
the calfskin that covers the ropes.

We should be corpses by now.

But here we are.

Twelve, shit-smelling…

[all chuckle]

…but generally able-bodied
protestant scoundrels

on a mission against a savage horde

and the entire goddamn,
motherless, shit-picking Portuguese fleet.

[all] Aye!

Now I'd say our chances are fair.

-[breathes heavily]
-[samurai chattering]

This is not where we die.

[Tadayoshi, in Japanese]
Fuji, this has gone far enough…

Stay back.

It's our lord's order. Hand over our son!

[Fuji] I won't do it!

[breathes heavily]

[samurai gasp]

[person] Fuji.

[breathes shakily]

Tadayoshi humiliated our lord
in front of Lord Ishido

then committed our son to die.

I heard. I'm sorry.

But I am forced to live.

[Tadayoshi]
The order comes from our master.

I am your husband -- !

And this is the granddaughter
of Toda Hiromatsu,

a name that should command your respect.

Her family ends today
because of what you've done.

Who are you to treat her harshly?

[baby babbling]

I'm sorry,

but he's right.

[shakily]
I know you feel the pull of death.

I've felt it too.

However,

it's a mercy that you must reject.

I'm not strong like you, Mariko.

I can't remain in this world
without purpose.

If he's ordered you to live,

then that is your purpose.

-[breathing shakily]
-[baby crying]

Let her hands be the last to hold her son.

God --

forgive me. [inhales sharply]

Your uncle never set foot
in this village before.

Not even when your father died.

We must all make the most of this moment.

Only Lord Yabushige can give you
the fief you deserve.

[horses trotting overhead]

[rain pattering]

Prisoners come up!

Worthless cowards --

You are ordered by Yabushige, Lord of Izu,

to come up and present yourself.

[in English] Hello there.
You the leader of these men?

My name is John Blackthorne,

and I would very much like
to speak to you.

[in Japanese] All men come up now.

[in English]
If it's agreeable I will come up alone.

[in Japanese] I don't understand
what you're saying. Come up, all of you!

-[in English] They'll kill you, Pilot.
-Look at their swords.

[samurai] Bring them up!

[sailor grunts, in English] Look out!

[Blackthorne]
No, no, no, no. Don't fight them.

[samurai, in Japanese]
Go up the ladder! Stop resisting!

Everybody up!

[Blackthorne, in English]
No, no violence. We need him alive.

[in Japanese] Bring it over!

[samurai speaking Japanese]

[screaming]

[groaning, retching]

Come back up!

[groaning, retching continues]

Filthy savages.

[in English] You fucking savages.

Now I will come up alone
and speak for my men.

You keep hold of him,
in case I don't come back.

[samurai grunting, choking]

-[grunting and panting]
-[sailor] Pilot! Pilot!

[Blackthorne] Bastards!

[grunting, groaning]

[grunts]

[panting]

I submit.

I submit.

We are merchants.

[panting] I request we be released
to the safety of our ship.

We mean you no harm.

[samurai 2] Muraji.

[in Japanese] You're Christian.

You speak Portuguese?

Very little.

Tell him to behave.

[pants]

[in English] Omi-sama say, "be good".

Is this the Japans?

[speaking Japanese] [in English] Yes.

How do I say, "I-I understand"
in your language?

[speaking Japanese]

[speaking Japanese]

[in English] I ask for my men to be freed.

Not possible.

I beg you in the name of decency.

Please, in Japan, must be good.

If this is how he treats guests,

tell this poxy little bastard
I piss on his whole damn country.

[grunting]

[grunting, panting]

[urinating]

[groans, grunts]

You're a foul-mannered savage.

[breathes heavily]

"Understand?"

[grunts]

[villagers whispering]

[whispering continues]

Is this man a Christian?

We don't know…

Please! Stay away!

[peasant] Why is he being held prisoner?

[Omi] Enough!

Back off!

[samurai speaks indistinctly]

-[peasant 2 speaking Japanese]
-[peasant 3 whispering]

[Omi grunts]

[villagers gasp, whimper]

[whimpering continues]

[grunts]

Where is this translator?

Lord Yabushige,
honored I that you come village.

[Yabushige] He's the best priest you have?

[sighs]

Priest, you will translate
for me and this barbarian.

Who is he?

And why is he here?

[in English] Our busho,
Lord of Izu, Kashigi Yabushige,

he asks to know who you are
and how you came to this land.

Who are you?

A servant of God.

Your God. First make that distinction,
you papist prick.

[in Japanese] Priest.
Why is he angry with you?

Him evil.

Make death.

Pirate.

[in English]
My name is John Blackthorne. I'm English.

Pilot of the Erasmus.

A Dutch merchant vessel.
We were blown off course two months ago.

[priest] Lies! That is a Dutch privateer

and you're a pirate come to war
on a peaceful Portuguese settlement.

[in Japanese] Priest! Translate.

Very bad man.

Make murder Japan and Portuguese.

[in English]
They don't know about us, do they?

You've told them
Portugal's the only flag in Europe.

Which means I am the first English sailor
to reach your Catholic treasury.

And you have no intention
of translating my words.

I beg your king for parley.

-[groans]
-I humbly ask for safe passage.

[in Japanese]
Tell him his ship is confiscated.

[in English] Yabushige-sama says
your heretic ship now belongs to him.

You will soon be executed
as will your men.

[Omi, speaks Japanese]

[Blackthorne, in English]
I am not one of them!

And I will not be spoken for by Catholics.

Not in Europe
and certainly not in this dark place.

[speaking Japanese]

[pants]

Bring him to a house and bathe him.

Lord! Danger!

Pirate must die!

Do you have proof he's actually a pirate?

Insult to Cross!

I don't have time
for this Christian nonsense.

Pirate must die!

[Yabushige]
Fine. But choose another in his place.

We'll do it in my special way.

[sighs]

[speaking Japanese]

[in English] Well, I'm sorry, Father.
We'll be all over this continent soon.

Go back in your sty,
dick up your arse. [chuckles]

[groans]

[in Japanese] Try harder, Uncle.

You always lose!

This is a new game for me, Lord.

It's too complicated for an old man.

Didn't you learn how to play
when you were small?

When I was your age,

I was honored to be a hostage.

[chuckles]

Until I was this tall,

I was traded amongst enemies.

[nun] Lord Yaechiyo,

you'll be late for your writing lesson,

as you well know.

Hello, Daiyoin.

I want to practice archery instead.

A leader must write clearly
and beautifully.

He must be the very best in all things.

This is what my mother says too.

Is she coming home from your castle soon?

Yes, absolutely.

Go to writing practice.

I can't imagine

what Ishido promised the Regents
to fall in line.

My fief, probably.

He'll kill them next.

And then the child.

It's the Dark Centuries starting again.

I'll protect the Heir with my life.

If only you could stop them.

It's not your name "Yoshii Toranaga"
they fear --

It's your Minowara bloodline.

I don't seek the title of my ancestors.

Because you are a good man.

But now is not the time for good men.

It is time for a Shōgun.

And I've told you before --

I don't seek to be Shōgun.

That title is a brutal relic.

From a bygone era.

This was planted
the hour Yaechiyo was born.

The splint supports its growth.

Like you and the boy.

What happens to him if you're gone?

-[villager singing in Japanese]
-[indistinct chatter]

-[villagers singing]
-[villager singing in Japanese]

[in English] Please!
We're just merchants! [panting]

Please!

We're just merchants! For the love of God!

Please, no!

-[villager continues singing]
-No!

-Please! No!
-[sailors coughing, groaning]

[shouts]

[panting] Please!

Please! [cries]

-[screaming]
-[scrubbing]

Please!

[echoing screams]

[screaming continues]

[in Japanese] I'm sorry for the discomfort
my lord has caused your village.

It won't be much longer now.

My lord,

he's obsessed with the moment of death.

When you are powerless,

and it's inevitable --

how a man faces such a moment.

[screaming continues]

This is the closest

he can get.

[screaming continues]

[screaming, grunting]

[screaming ends]

I kept waiting, but… nothing.

[door closes]

[grunts]

His final moment came and went.

Like everyone else… inarticulate.

Lord. This is Kiku.

The most celebrated courtesan in Izu.

It is my honor to serve

and my duty to please.

[sighs]

What are you looking at
with your pervert eyes?

-[sighs]
-[scribbling]

What are you doing?

Shall I stop?

Go on.

[breathing heavily]

[squire gasps]

[panting, moaning]

[objects clattering]

-[clattering continues]
-[thudding]

[villagers chattering]

[inhales sharply]

[door closes]

[groans, in English] Christ.

-Oh.
-[footsteps approaching]

Good morning.

Where are my boots?

[Yabushige, in Japanese]
The barbarian took a long time to die.

He was stronger than most Christians.

Give me a poem about him.

His eyes…

were just the end of Hell

-- all pain,

articulate.

[chuckles]

[in English]
Heard a man screaming last night.

Sounded as though he was in terrible pain.

This is very tight.

Well, listen, if it's amenable to, uh,
to either of you I--

I'd very much like to speak
to your leader again.

With the swords, the man with the swords.

[door opens]

-[door closes]
-[sighs] Wonderful.

[in Japanese] You've managed this village
well since your father's death.

How long has it been?

Almost a year.

-[villagers chattering]
-[horse whinnies]

Your fief is increased to 3000 koku.

I'll see to it as soon as I'm home.

Uncle, if I may…

You're not going to tell Lord Toranaga
about the barbarian ship?

Our lord Toranaga is trapped in Osaka.

I told him it was madness,
but he went anyway.

[groans]

Why tell a dead man the future?

Then…

you have other plans.

What do you think?

In these uncertain times --
what comes next?

After Lord Toranaga is dead,
no doubt there will be war.

Lord Ishido will be
the most powerful Regent,

but he'd next have to contend
with the Christian lords.

With their Christian weapons.

So a lord who possesses
a ship with these weapons

would make a valuable ally to anyone.

[chuckles]

My brother never told me about
his son's great qualities.

[chuckles]

[samurai] Lord!

A ship's arrived.

Hiromatsu.

You honor me
by coming to one of my villages.

Yabushige.

Lord Toranaga had requested
you wait for him in Edo.

We've seized a foreign ship and its crew.

I felt it was important to our cause
to be here.

And where are the cannon?

[grunts]

I'm told there are five hundreds muskets,
twenty cannon,

and several crates of silver and gold
on board that ship.

I had everything brought ashore.

[Hiromatsu] Good.

As President of Foreign Relations,

Lord Toranaga confiscates this ship…
and all it contains.

[Yabushige chuckles]

With respect.

Izu is my fief.

So sorry…

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

[chuckles]

Of course I am.

[chuckles]

Obviously, the ship is already his.

It's a gift,
though I had wanted it to be a surprise.

[chuckles]

He'll be pleased with your generosity.

-[villagers chattering]
-[grunts]

He knew everything.

There's a spy in your village.

[in English] Where am I being taken?

You. You look at me.

-You murder prisoners without a trial.
-Shut that pilot's mouth.

-Is that how it's done here?
-[speaking Japanese]

Is this him?

[gasps, speaks Japanese]

Tell him he's being taken to Osaka.

[in English] You go Osaka.

-I go nowhere until I see my men.
-[grunts]

Hey, hey, piss-eating bastards!

[in Japanese] Forbidden!

[in English] Is he the pilot?

[in Japanese] Pilot?

Lord Hiromatsu.

Lord Rodrigues will take care of him.

Give him drink, then blow head off.

[grunting, muttering]

[in English] Bow. Bow to the bastard-sama
if you wanna live.

The man is like a king here.

And tell him, goyosha wo.

[in Japanese] Pardon me.

[speaking Japanese]

[in English]
To all the shit-eating samas, eh? Come.

-You're pilot of that Dutchman, eh?
-Who are you?

[chuckles] Young little shit, aren't you?
What's the latitude of a Lizard?

Forty-nine degrees, 56 minutes north and
watch out for the reefs, south-southwest.

Or they'll send you tits up.
By God, you are a pilot.

And inglés too. Fuck me.

Listen, sir, you speak Japanese.
I must know if my crew is alive.

[chuckles]

[in Japanese] Samurai. Pilot friends?

One has been executed.

The rest are prisoners of Lord Yabushige.

[in English] Good news.
Only one of your crew is dead,

and the Jappers say they'll free
the rest of them if you play nice.

-Who of my men is dead?
-[chuckles]

Here it is, Inglés,
your crew belongs to them now.

Maybe you'll see them if you get back.
Maybe not, but it's out of your hands, eh.

[speaking Japanese]

-[in English] Where are we going?
-Osaka. Big city.

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?

But he's a powerful sort,
so I might let him.

More powerful than those men?

Lord of the Kanto?

A million of them fanatics would die
for the honor of wiping his ass.

I didn't catch your name, friend.

Rodrigues, and I'm a Spaniard who sails
for the Portuguese. I'm not your friend.

Any chance of me boarding my ship,
Rodrigues?

Yeah.
Yeah, just as soon as you lick my jib.

[chuckles] Listen, Inglés, no more tricks.

I told these samas
that I'd be responsible for you.

So do us both a favor, blow her a kiss.

[in Japanese] Row!

Row!

Row!

[speaking Japanese]

Going to Osaka just to become a prisoner.

Feels wrong, no?

[sighs]

[crew chattering]

-[in English] Be a storm by sunset.
-Ah, we should head northwest.

This crew will love
to keep within sight of land.

Came over with the Portuguese?

Sail for a living. [speaks Japanese]

[in English] How'd you get here anyway?

Came by Magellan's Pass, merchant mission.

Captain-General held us in Chile too long.
I warned him the winds would die.

He wouldn't listen.

[chuckling] And now command rests on you.

That's some fate. Shukumei.

-What is that word?
-[Rodrigues] Shukumei?

Shukum-- It's like an attitude out here.

It's, uh, karma.

Uh, fate.

Fixed destiny.

Everything is connected,
part of a whole. Life, death.

You just have to accept your wee place.

[grunts]

These people are godless savages.

Or maybe they just don't
give a shit what you think,

young scheming little pirate.

Why do you believe I'm a pirate?

You had 20 guns on that ship.

Twenty guns to defend ourselves

from unlawful Portuguese galleons
piloted by Spanish dogs.

[laughs]

-We drifted here by accident.
-[chuckles]

We're just merchants hoping to once again
cast eyes on our coast of origin.

[laughs] I like you, Inglés, I do.

In fact, given we have
a long night ahead of us,

I think I shall allow you
the honor of taking this watch.

-Come.
-[taps railing]

-Kind of you to trust me.
-[chuckles] Well, why not?

You're a pilot, not a godless savage, eh?

[in Japanese] Understand?

Yes.

[speaking Japanese, laughing]

[speaking Japanese]

[speaking Japanese]

[thunderclap]

[samurai shouting, grunting]

Maybe we won't be dying
in Osaka after all!

[in English] We've got to turn ourselves
into the swell!

Where are your cojones, eh?

Where they should be, by God,
and where I'd like them to stay!

[shouting, grunting]

Go below, get them to row! Can you swim?

Can't you?

Never learned!
Better to drown quickly, right?

[shouting, grunting]

[grunting]

Goddamn it! Into the swell!

What? What are you still doing up here,
you pirate bitch?

Piss on the Spaniard
who serves the Portuguese!

Piss on all English! [speaking Spanish]

[in Japanese] What is he up to? [grunts]

[in English] Row!

-[samurai coughing, grunting]
-Stand strong!

Stand strong! Big swell coming!

[shouting indistinctly]

-Row!
-[samurai shouting]

[shouts, grunts]

-Rodrigues!
-[Rodrigues] Pirate!

-Rodrigues!
-[screaming]

-Rodrigues! [grunts]
-[samurai screaming, grunting]

-[grunts]
-[shouts]

If you bastards wanna live,

pull!

[in Japanese] Row!

Row!

[grunts]

[groaning]

[panting]

[samurai] The ship is ready.

[samurai 2] Everyone, we're leaving!

[samurai speak Japanese]

[chattering, groaning]

What is he doing?

Rodrigu-sama.

Your pilot is somewhere… here.

For all we know,
he could still be breathing.

[speaks Japanese]

[in English] I don't care what sort of
savage whore-bitch turd you are,

where I come from
we don't leave a man behind.

[speaks Japanese]

He's not wrong to search for the Spaniard.

The man is a skilled pilot.

[speaks indistinctly]

You take him. Make it quick.

[speaking Japanese]

Lord! I found him!

He's there!

[Yabushige exclaims]

Rodrigues!

[in English] Move inland!

I'm only trying to get a look.

[in Japanese]
Don't let the pilot put himself in danger.

[speaking Japanese]

[in English] I'll bring him up.

Me.

-[breathes heavily]
-[grunts]

Oh, I see.

You can't turn down a challenge
in front of your men, can you?

Go on, savage.

Maybe the fall will kill you
before you drown.

[in Japanese] Let's be fast about this.

Lord, let me go in your place.

Don't you see what he's doing?

The barbarian wants me to fail.

He's testing me.

He's very simple,
though he doesn't know it.

[samurai] Lord!

[shouts, grunts]

[in English]
Sorry about your sack of shit lord.

[in Japanese]
Fetch more ropes from the ship!

[speaking Japanese]

[groaning, grunting]

[Rodrigues groans]

He's breathing!

Rope is coming!

[grunting]

[shouts]

Lord!

[panting, grunting]

Please grab onto something!

[screaming]

[gasping, panting]

Lord! Help is coming!

[in English] What the hell is he doing?

[samurai coughs]

[chuckles]

[Toranaga] Good evening, Mariko.

So sorry, my Lord -- I was told
I'd be meeting my father-in-law.

I sent Hiromatsu away on business.

I asked for you.

How long has it been since you married
into my general's family?

Sixteen years.

And so rarely have we spoken.

Thank you for helping Lady Fuji
through her grief the other day.

I wish I could have done more.

[Toranaga] Such a waste.

Since Lord Ishido aligned
the Council against me,

death is everywhere I look.

If the Regents vote for your impeachment,

we will welcome death with you.

I'm told you speak Portuguese.

Only as a student.

Your father-in-law
is bringing a prisoner from Ajiro.

A barbarian from a foreign ship.

I want you to translate for us.

Surely the Portuguese
can send Tsuji to translate.

It's been fourteen years
since your father's death?

Fourteen years

and three months.

Akechi Jinsai was brave and principled,

and I revered him.

But I know it's haunted you.

Not being permitted to join him in death.

Like Fuji.

Kept from the fight
and robbed of your purpose.

What if,

as your liege lord,

I could restore you to this purpose?

The barbarian is an enemy of your faith.

Would your loyalty to God

conflict with your service to me?

If I were just Christian, yes.

But --

I have more than one heart.

I think our fate has brought us together.

You, me,

and this barbarian
who could turn the tide.

[Rodrigues, in English] My leg is on fire,

my head is bursting,
and my piss pot's full.

You make a foul nurse, Inglés.

That man was going to kill himself
up on that cliff.

He risked his life to save you,

and when he knew he was done for
in those waves, he didn't fight.

He could have tried,
but he just turned and drew his blade.

He chose his death.
What better end can a man hope for?

-Will I die here?
-[chuckles]

Likely.

How can you just accept
being powerless to this madness?

[stammers] You mean to this life.

[speaking Japanese]

[in English] One cannot resist
the unseen path of nature.

All we can do is accept our small part.

It's bollocks.

I fought too long, too hard to get here.

I won't succumb to this madness.
I won't, I can't.

That's funny,
I thought you washed up by accident.

Listen, Pilot, I-I think it's only fair…

I found this on your ship.

This, uh, rutter was stolen off
a Spanish sailor, I imagine.

It's how you must have found your way
through Magellan's Pass.

Which means this belongs to you.

It's a-- a list of all the Catholic bases

that you and your so-called merchant crew
were putting to the torch.

I mean,
real savage business if you ask me.

Your orders,

"Plunder any Spanish territory,
reach the Japans,

open trade in the New World."

Which is why I'm warning you,

these go to the Portuguese
soon as I arrive.

[breathes heavily]

[groans]

This isn't the end for me.

I won't die in this wretched land.

This wretched land?

I tell you what, Inglés.
We're coming into port soon.

Why don't you go on up there?
Go up and tell me what you see.

And tell me when you set eyes on Osaka

if you really think our world
is the hilt of civilization.

And then ask yourself

what kind of man
wields power in a land like this.

The one who schemes in the open?

Or the one you never see?

There's a saying out here
that every man has three hearts.

One in his mouth for the world to know.

Another in his chest just for his friends.

And a secret heart buried deep
where no one can find it.

That is a heart a man must keep hidden
if he wants to survive.

You'll understand soon, Inglés.

And who knows,

maybe-- maybe fate
brought you here for a reason.

Maybe you'll live long enough
to find out what it is.
