All language subtitles for S2E9 - The Sakae Ito

♪

We'd better take a look.

Keep 'em here, Charlie.

Anybody in there?

Major?

Yeah, looks like Comanches.

Better take a look inside, Bill.

All right, come on out of there!

♪

All right, come on out of there!

Who in blazes are you, anyhow?

Oh, you Americans.

I thought savages back,

so I...

It was my mistake.

Who are you and what
are you doing way out here?

Sakae Ito, Nippon samurai.

Do you understand?

No, I'm afraid
I don't understand.

I am sorry.

SETH: Where are you heading fer?

To California. San Francisco.

You mean, you're going to
San Francisco all by yourselves?

Mister, I don't know
whether you know it or not,

but San Francisco's
quite a way... 2,000 miles.

2,000 miles?

Is it far?

Far?

Well, it's a lot farther than
you're gonna get by yourselves,

especially with a Comanche
war party running around.

What happened to your
horses? The Injuns get 'em?

Yes, Indians.

Well, they're Comanche, all
right. Train must've scared 'em off.

What kind of foreigner
do you figure he is?

I think they're Japanese, Bill.

He said something about
"Nippon" and "samurai."

Sakai Ito, Nippon samurai.

I've never heard of
either one of 'em.

SETH: Mister, you're not gonna
get very far by yourself out here.

Bill, you'd better
go get 'em a team.

All right. Be right back.

You'd better come
along with us, mister.

To California?

That's right. That's where
we're heading... California.

Your names, please.

Adams. Seth Adams.

Ah, so.

Mr. Adams.

Arigato.

Well, if that means
"thanks," why,

all I can say is
"you're welcome," I guess.

Blane, pull your wagon up.
I want to get this one in.

Henry, you hold yours back.

The rest get back to your wagons.
We'll be pulling out right away.

It ain't true. It can't be.

You reckon they escaped
from the sideshow, Sailor?

No, not hardly. But I do
know where they come from.

Hey, Major!

You know what you've got there?

Do you know this fella?

I don't know him personal,
but what you got is

a genuine, honest-Injun
Japanese from Japan.

How come you know so much
about Japan, Blane?

What do you think
they call me Sailor for?

I was with Commodore Perry
when we opened Japan in 1853.

Commodore Perry? You?

Why, I sure was.

Yep, Yedo Bay, July 1853.

I've seen thousands
like these here fellas.

Maybe you can find out
for me just what

two Japanese are doing here
in the center of Kansas.

Mm, ain't no ordinary Japanese
neither, Major.

No, from the cut of his jib, I'd say
he was one of those "sam-o-rays."

That's a kind of a soldier-like.

Yes. Nippon samurai.

Yeah, they're
funny critters, Major.

Maybe you'd better let
me talk to 'em alone huh?

All right, go ahead.

Near as I can figure out, Major,

him and his boss were
headed for back East,

when his boss got
the fever and died.

Is that right, Ito-san?

Yes. Prince Nara died.

He was cousin of emperor.

So Samurai Ito returns home now.

Yeah, this prince of his was
some kind of ambassador, I guess.

You know anything about
Japan, Major? Very little.

Well, they don't cotton much to

people either
coming there or leaving.

So you can bet that Ito-san
here is a pretty big man or

they wouldn't let him out,

not even on an official mission.

How come they was headed west?

Well, Japan's a small country.

If you want to go anywhere, you
just head in the right direction and start.

Couple of days, you'll
get where you want to go.

Well, Mr. Ito, I guess
you're just plain lucky

we happened along.

These Comanches around here
would sure like that scalp of yours.

I do not understand.
You don't have to.

You just stick with this
train, you'll be all right.

Bill, I don't think we're gonna
get much further today anyhow,

so we might as well make camp.

Why don't you circle up around
that bunch of trees? All right.

Blane, how about you riding
herd on these two for a little while?

They've got a lot to learn.

Be glad to, Major.

I didn't know you was
so hospitable, Sailor.

That so?

Well, the way you're looking
after those two characters,

if I didn't know you better,
I'd say you were being friendly.

Danged if it ain't so.

Well, if you'd been around
the Far East as much as I have,

you just might be
doing the same thing.

I don't get it. You know that black
box he's been carrying around?

That ain't his private papers.

These Japanese are what you
call Buddhists, Shintoists. So?

I've been to Japan,
China, Malaya,

India, Ceylon, all of
them strange places,

and all of them got idols, see?

I've even seen idols
carved out of solid jewels.

You're kiddin'.

No, I ain't.

No.

Sapphires sometimes.
Pearls. Diamonds.

Even if they ain't carved out of
jewels, they got jewels stuck in 'em.

You think that's maybe
what they got in that box?

Oh, I ain't sayin' it is
and I ain't sayin' it ain't.

But I'd sure like to
have a look inside.

Yeah, so would I.

I've been thinking.

This here Ito was all-fired
anxious to get on to California.

He ain't gonna be happy
going slow as slow as the train.

You think maybe he'll
take out by himself?

He might, if he thought he'd have
company, someone who knows the country.

Like us?

Yeah.

And if we was to borrow
that black box of his,

you couldn't hardly call
that stealing now, right?

Not then.

You know, I've been
thinking too, Sailor.

This is the slowest train
I've ever been with.

Maybe we ought to
take off by ourselves.

RAKE: That don't sound like
a bad idea. It's a good idea.

Carved out of a whole sapphire.

Well, Mr. Ito,

it's a big sky, isn't it?

Mr. Adams.

Yes,

it is a big sky.

Big country.

You got that in your homeland?

No.

Nippon is very small.

Very little country.

But very beautiful.

Well, we have some
beauty here too,

especially when we get
to the Rocky Mountains.

Mm?

Oh, Mr. Adams,

how long will it be
to California?

Well, that's kind of
hard to say, Mr. Ito.

Maybe two, three months...

That is, if we don't
have any trouble.

So long?

Well, we've got a lot
of ground to cover.

So. But we keep
moving all the time.

Doesn't pay to loaf around
in Comanche country.

Comanche? Savage?

Well, they're just about
as savage as they come.

I guess that's another thing you don't
have in your country, huh? Indians?

Oh, yes.

We have so-called Ainu.

They have a bear god,

and they fight like bear.

Hmm. Sort of like
our Indians over here, huh?

I think so.

Tell me, Mr. Ito,

how come you're in such a hurry
to get to California?

Ah.

I have a most important mission.

I am samurai.

Warrior caste. You understand?

A soldier, but different.

I am samurai of Prince Nara.

He is my prince.

Oh, you're sort of
a bodyguard for him, huh?

Yes.

Bodyguard.

Bushido says
samurai must be loyal

to his master always...

Through life till death.

So, Samurai Ito

return Nippon

to emperor,

telling emperor

that Prince Nara died
in this country.

So...

Samurai Ito

join Prince Nara.

Oh. Join him?

You just told me
that he was dead.

Yes.

He is dead.

Therefore,

I must, uh,

commit...

hara kiri.

Hara kiri? What's that?
What do you mean?

With knife,

you cut through yourself.

O-hiyo, Matsu-san.
O-hiyo, Blane-san.

Where's Ito? We
want to talk to him.

Ah, Mr. Blane.

Good morning, Revere-san.

Ito, we got more in
common than we thought.

Yes? That's right.

You're in a hurry to get
to the coast and so are we.

We ain't hankerin' to get
snowed in in the mountains.

We've got important
business out there.

This train moves so slow it ain't got a
chance of getting across before winter.

It is slow.

So we was thinkin' of
takin' off by ourselves.

We know a couple of
shorter routes anyway.

So you get to California
much sooner?

Oh, by a couple of months,
we figure, huh?

We thought maybe you'd
like to come with us.

You are kind.

Well, you're a visitor in this
country. Anything we can do to help.

Yes, I am in hurry.

But Mr. Adams says

Indians are big problem.

Oh, he's just an old woman. A
few naked savages ain't no problem.

In Nippon, it can be problem.

Well, I thought you was in a
hurry. Of course, if you're afraid...

Don't misunderstand.

No afraid for Ito.

But Ito is a samurai.
Must return to Nippon.

Most important.

More important than life,

if... you understand.

We're giving you a chance
to get there in a hurry.

Yes. When do you leave?

I don't know. Tonight,
maybe tomorrow night.

Oh.

So soon?

Well, Mr. Blane,

I must consider.

Sure, sure, you do that.

But it's probably
your only chance.

Come on, Tom.

Too many. We wait.

Bill. Yeah?

You see anything?

Yeah, just like we
figured. Comanche?

Yeah, but there are only
10 or 12 of 'em.

I don't know what's the matter
with that McCullough,

why he didn't spot 'em
and get word back to us.

Well, they probably
moved in behind him.

They won't hit the train, but
Lord help us if somebody falls out.

I was thinking the same thing. An
old friend of yours is leading them.

Who's that?

Old Sharp Knife
himself. Sharp Knife?

Oh, that's just fine. Hmm.

You'd better pass the word
back: Nobody falls out of line

for any reason whatsoever.

All right.

Gol' darn that McCullough.

I don't know why he doesn't
check in with us once in a while.

Sharp Knife ain't no dummy,
Major. He won't hit the train.

I'd just as soon have a pack
of wolves following us as him.

I'd rather. Let's go.

What'd I tell you
about them foreigners?

I told you they had some kind of
idol in that box. Sure looks that way.

Heard about this
Hindu idol once.

Had a ruby big as your
head right between its eyes.

It don't have to be
that big to satisfy me.

One fist-sized would be
just fine. Only I didn't see it.

Oh, it's there. Don't worry.

See the way he was burning
that incense? You hear that gong?

Oh, we'll get it.

Ito and me,
we're old tomadachis now.

We pull out, he'll come along.
Ain't we near Fort Platte?

Yeah, we ought to hit the Fort Platte
trail tomorrow or the next day. Why?

That shoots off north from here.

Be our best bet
for high-tailing.

Only... Only what?

Only if there's Comanches out
there like they say. I don't know.

Look, you don't get nothing
without some kind of risk.

Besides, there's four of us.

I'm all for hitting
the Fort Platte trail.

Trouble with you is you
spent too long in the water.

Not long enough in
Injun country. Maybe.

But I don't figure Injuns to be
no worse than Malay river pirates.

Besides, I guess I'd run
more than Comanches

to get a look in
that chest of his.

We'll talk to him
tomorrow, hmm? Come on.

Well, I'll be dogged.

How are you? Hi.

Good morning. Good morning.

That's quite a toad-stabber
you've got there.

Yes. Samurai sword.
Very good sword.

Don't you people in Japan
have any guns?

Oh, yes. We have cannon.

Big cannon.

What you call, uh, musket.

Ah. But...

this is samurai's gun.

I myself, I like the real gun.

Gives you that safe feeling.

Safe feeling.

Don't that beat all?

Mr. Ito, sure too bad there ain't
somebody here to work out with you.

Samurai works every day.

Yes. Sword,

archery like Indian, wrestle.

You like rasslin'? Yes.

That's great. Hawks here was the
best in the company. Wasn't you?

Oh. Mr. Hawks wrestle?

Well, I used to be a
pretty fair freestyle man.

Good. Let us wrestle.

Mr. Ito, I think I'm
a little big for you.

Oh, go on. The
exercise will do you good.

Take off some of
that blubber too.

Charlie, we don't have
any time for wrestling now.

Oh, Ito soft.

Ito need wrestling.

Go on, Bill. Show
'em how those recruits

got scared of you
when you was a sergeant.

Well, maybe a couple
of fast falls, huh?

Good.

Wait a minute. Got
to take them spurs off.

I don't want you to
get hurt, Mr. Ito.

Take it easy on him.

Hold him, huh?

Come on, Bill.

Get a hold of him. Come on.

Get him.

Bill, you're doing
something wrong. Yeah.

Come on, get in there. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Bill, you're still
doing something wrong.

I know I am! Get out of here!

Come on, Bill. You've got him.

You can do it.
Get a hold of him.

Come on, rassle.
Come on, rassle.

You and your big ideas.

Uh-oh. Oh.

Don't you two think
you're a little bit old

for playing these kind of games?

Major, if you think this is a game,
you can play it yourself next time.

Mr. Hawks... not hurt?

Nah.

Nippon samurai does not
fall like you.

They'd better not, or you'll
have a big samurai turnover.

If you little boys don't
mind, would you go on

and pass the word that
we're about to move?

With pleasure. Oh, Mr. Hawks,

we wrestle again, huh?

Yeah, sure, but next time
with Mr. Wooster here.

He's more your size, Mr. Ito.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Mr. Hawks nice man.

Yeah.

You know, Mr. Ito, I've
been thinking a little bit

about something you said
to me the other night. Huh?

You told me that when
you go back to Japan

that they're gonna force you to
kill yourself because that prince

died in this country.

Is that right?

Oh, no, Mr. Adams.

Ito is a samurai.

When prince dies,

Ito must die willingly.

And you really intend
to kill yourself?

This is Nippon custom. Well,
it's a mighty strange custom.

You do not understand?

You can bet your boots
I don't understand.

Oh, custom different,

but man no different.

American, Nippon.

Ito Nippon samurai.

Mr. Adams American samurai.

American samurai...

have truth, have honor.

Have honesty. Have
courage to die in battle.

To die for the country.

Isn't that the truth?

Well, I suppose so,
in a way, yes.

So customs different,

but men no different.

Well, you'd better get your things
loaded, Mr. Ito. We're gonna get moving.

Oh, uh, Mr. Adams,

Mr. Blane asked me to go
with him to California.

It much quicker,

he said. He what?!

Yes.

He said Indian no trouble.

He can shoot.

But this train go too slow.

The snow may come

before our wagons
get to California.

Oh, so he's gonna
leave the train, huh?

Yeah, leave the train.

We'll see about that.

No good to leave?

Listen, Mr. Ito,

there's a Comanche war party
waiting out there for stragglers.

I don't give a gol' darn what
Blane does, but you listen to me.

You stay with this train.

Blane! Oh, hello, Major.

What's this I hear
about you leaving the train?

I guess that's
my business, ain't it?

It might be, if you
kept it to yourself.

What do you mean?

Trying to talk those two Japanese
into going with you, that's what I mean.

Ain't nothing that says we
can't take off for Fort Platte,

and if he wants to come
along, that's his business.

I don't know what your game is,
but you ought to have better sense.

You leave this train,
and that scalp of yours

will be hanging from
some Comanche ridgepole.

What's a couple of Injuns?

You do whatever you
want to, you and your pals,

but Ito's not going with
you, you understand that?

I'll leave it up to him.
I'll leave it up to me.

He's never had any experience
handling people like you, but I have.

All right, Major. You tell
him anything you want.

But he's in a mighty big
hurry to get to California.

If we pull out
and he comes along,

there really ain't much you
can do about it, is there?

I think there is.

It's a couple of thousand
miles straight ahead.

Such a long distance.

Ain't so long if you hustle.

We're fixing to shove
off tonight. Tonight?

Hit Fort Platte
in two or three days.

Be easy going then.

Sorry. I am not going with you.

What do you mean?

I must not take chances.

What do you mean? There
ain't gonna be no chances.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But Mr. Adams said

Indians are a great danger.

Adams.

Listen, don't listen to Adams.
Ain't I your friend?

I want to help you
get back to Japan.

I understand.

I am grateful to you, but...

I thought you Japanese were fighters.
I never thought you'd be cowards.

Cowards?

Scared. Afraid.

Letting a few scurvy Comanches
scare you off.

Do you think I am coward?

Well, I'm sorry.

The whole time I thought you were
serious about getting back to the coast.

I am not going with you.

You know, I was wrong
about Japan.

I thought all you samurais were
brave men, but I guess you ain't.

I speak no more.

Okay, Grandma,

stick close to Mother
Adams, where you'll be safe.

Well? He ain't comin'.
Adams got to him.

I thought you said he'd
do what you told him.

He would've, if Adams
kept his trap shut.

I might have known
you'd botch it.

All right, so he won't leave the
train. That don't mean nothin'.

Yeah? We get that box
tonight and get out of here.

Just like that? There's
only two of them.

They ain't big enough to give us
trouble. Yeah, but Adams might.

Sure. But Adams has got to catch us
first, and we ain't gonna be easy to catch.

We'll leave the wagon here.

We'll take just enough gear
to get us on to Fort Platte.

Now, us and that black
box of his... what do you say?

All right, let's go. All right.

Wait a minute. What for?

Good evening, Matsu-san.

Get rid of him. Meet
you back at the horse.

Matsu?

Matsu?

Matsu!

Matsu!

Matsu!

Mr. Blane! Mr...

Matsu?

Matsu?

Matsu?

Matsu?

Matsu.

Matsu!

Mats...

Matsu!

Matsu!

Hey, hold it there!

Major! Major Adams!

What is it, Bill? It was
one of those Japanese.

He came in and jumped on a horse
and got off before I could hardly see him.

Was it Ito? I couldn't tell
which one it was in the dark.

Ito?

Major, Blane's gone
and so are the rest of 'em.

Looks like they all
took off in a hurry too.

You and Hawks get mounted up and bring
my horse. We've got some chasing to do.

This is far enough.
I don't know.

There ain't no sense
killing the horses.

Nobody's gonna follow us
any further.

I want to get a look at that
box. Guess you're right.

Hurry up, Sailor. I'm trying.

Let me at it!

What kind of a jewel is that?

Where's all them sapphires
you talked about? Wait a minute.

All these Oriental mucky-mucks
got some kind of jewels on 'em.

Now, let's break it open.

I always had you
figured for a blowhard.

I tell you, they got 'em.
Wait, maybe it's in the jar.

In a perfume bottle?

Powdered diamonds, huh?
You and your big talk!

Ashes! Nothing but
ashes! Somebody's coming.

Well, if it ain't our
little Japanese friend.

You have my jar.

Give it back to me.

Sure, I'll give it to you.

Now... you will die.

Put down that sword.

You take one step,
and I'll kill you.

I warned you.

Not white man.

Nippon samurai.

You knife...

fight guns them, huh?

Bert, what are they gonna do?

Take. Take!

Now no have guns. Have tomahawk.

Now you fight. Arigato.

No!

You can't do that, Ito.
That's inhuman!

Ito-san, tell him.

You can't do this.
We never hurt you.

Get on your feet, Blane!

We was just fooling.
We never meant to keep it.

Honest, we was.

You brave man with gun.

Now you be brave man
with tomahawk, huh?

Get up, you stinkin' coward! No!

Come on, get up. Quit crawlin'.

Blane, fight.

No!

Shut up! He's only one man!

Are you ready?

We're ready.

Looks like their trail goes
right up this gully.

It sure doesn't look good.

I don't like it.

You boys stay here. I'll go
ahead and scout 'em out a little bit,

and when I wave, you
come on up. All right.

Ito!

Ha.

Major Adams,

the leader of the white wagons.

Soon.

Ito, what happened?

I am disgraced.

I do what I must do.

Did you just cut these men down?

What are you, a savage?

They have tomahawk, have chance.

Maybe more chance
than they gave him.

Perhaps Ito savage.

But he does not steal.

He does not lie.

He does not kill unarmed man.

Is it savage?

Then Ito savage, like him.

Knife much good.

Him much brave man.

Him use knife much good.

Maybe Sharp Knife,

he use knife much good.

Just a minute, Sharp Knife.

You want tomahawk,
you take tomahawk.

Oh, please.

Mr. Adams my friend.

Mr. Indian,

he's my friend.

This is...

Prince Nara.

He is lost.

Do you understand?

Prince Nara...

is lost.

He will...

n-not be

with noble ancestor.

He... He...

He is lost.

Alone in America.

So...

noble Samurai Ito...

stays with him.

I live...

like samurai.

I die like samurai.

What mean him?

He's gonna kill himself.

Hara kiri... That's
what they call it.

Why this?

He small man, great brave.

He's great brave all right,
Chief. That's why, I guess.

With knife? Here?

That's right.

Why you do this?

Honor over samurai.

Him your friend?

Yes. He was with
our wagon train.

Where he go?

He goes to his own
country... Japan.

Where this?

Over many waters, big
waters. His own land.

Japan.

Major Adams, you tell Japan

this man great brave.

This man Comanche brave.

Comanche spirits
welcome this man.

Does that mean
you're letting us go?

Spirits here now.

All dead brave come now.

Him, Great Spirit...

take him.

Him have four dogs
for next world.

Comanche know when spirits come.

No killing now.

You go.

Major, we'd best get
out of here while we can.

Just a minute, Bill.

Ito, I still don't understand
why you've got to do this.

Mr. Adams,

Ito grateful for your kindness.

But be more kind to me.

Please leave.

Please.

Perhaps Indian understand Ito

much more than you could.

I think...

Ito and Indian are more alike.

Let's get out of here.

What'd he do it for, Major?

I don't know, Bill.

I guess some people
have got different ideas

about what's right and what's
wrong, and honor too, maybe.

If Ito hadn't been
the kind of a man he was,

the three of us would probably been
roasting on that slow fire back there.

The Indians liked him, Major.
They let him go free.

Well, Charlie,

maybe old Sharp Knife knew him
a little bit better than we did.

Maybe he knew that there
was only one way Ito could go

to get his self free:

that's the way he took.

Mighty funny. No, Charlie.

It's not funny.

It's not funny at all.
