00:17Mama. They came for me, like you said. The bad men. It was my fault.
00:29I'm sorry I'm a monster, Mama. I'll avenge us, Mama. I swear it. If it takes all my life, if
00:45it takes my death, I swear it, Mama. I swear it.
00:55Master? Master!
01:02You'll be here soon, Fowler.
01:07You're sure you can find Akemi before they come?
01:10I have to. I promised you I would. Are you ready?
01:20Get to the north sewer. Make sure we can get through. Wait till I see Akemi and take her far
01:24from the castle. Do not die.
01:27If you get caught by swordsmen...
01:29The Falcons die.
01:30If you get caught by spearmen...
01:33Run.
01:37Master.
01:38Master. What about Fowler's army?
01:42Not my concern. Only his death matters.
01:46But what if they kill the Shogun?
01:50Shogun Ito allowed white men into Japan for his own gain, against his own laws. He deserves whatever comes.
02:00Ringo. After I kill Fowler, I'll find you here.
02:04Master. If I don't come back...
02:07Master. Of course you will.
02:08If I don't, I failed, or I'm dead.
02:15Don't be silly, Master. You can't die. You don't know how.
02:24Master.
02:25Master.
02:25Master.
02:25Master.
02:27Master.
02:28Master.
02:29Master.
02:42Master.
02:45Master.
02:45Master.
02:51cooked dumpling is the worst. Unnecessary evil. Ah, the dumpling is served.
03:13I thought hard on the right gift for your father this pilgrimage.
03:18What do you get for the man who gets everything?
03:23Crass, I know. But for once I thought I'd dispense with metaphor and just bring the thing itself.
03:30Your father thinks of me and thinks of the gold I bring. Here it is. Here I am.
03:37My father extends his gratitude for our continued alliance.
03:41A lion? I made your father the second richest man in the world.
03:51The Shogun th-thanks you. D-d-d-does he?
03:59Each year I come to pay obeisance at his throne only to be shunted to this lovely hill.
04:06Used to be his advisors who'd accept my gifts on behalf. Now I get his strapping sons.
04:13I don't suppose this year I might be allowed to meet the man in person, face to face, after all
04:21these years.
04:24It would be difficult. You understand.
04:30There's a grand party ripening down there as we speak. The council of elders at the height of the spring
04:35matsuri.
04:36The high lords feasting, drinking, heady affairs of state.
04:41I... mustn't I rate a seat at that table this time?
04:48As I said...
04:50It would be difficult.
04:54Of course.
04:57Until...
04:58Next year then.
05:15Our finest Nishijin brocade.
05:18Moven with gold for Shogun Ito.
05:26Enough gifts for now. We have currency value to discuss.
05:32One more gift, if you'll permit.
05:35Carved from rhinoceros horn.
05:38A male, a feared pack leader, known to have sired 50 young from 40 females.
05:45A worthy cup for the Shogun.
06:02Inauspicious sign.
06:04Blessings conferred over the council of elders.
06:25I'd sooner believe you a ghost than still alive.
06:28I take it you saw Fowler's castle and ran.
06:32Where's Akimi?
06:34I watched you watch soldiers drag her off screaming.
06:38She's Lady Akimi now.
06:41Lady Akimi gave me and my girls comfortable positions here.
06:45I see to her affairs, and she would not want you here.
06:48Nor would the castle guards want to find a man in the women's quarters.
06:53I've followed Fowler here.
06:55I believe he's planning to overthrow the Shogun it today.
06:58He'll kill everyone in the Ito clan.
07:01Anyone in their household.
07:03What if my girls heard rumors of an attack?
07:07Akimi took her to inform her father.
07:09I haven't seen either since.
07:11Go. Now.
07:13Take your girls and run.
07:16Be far away when the gunfire starts.
07:27All the lords are in the sun.
07:30Drinking.
07:31Games.
07:32Bowing to a Shogun who will soon be dead.
07:37You should eat.
07:40It's an important day.
07:47You used to look at me with admiration.
07:51You planned to have my husband killed.
07:53You mean the horrible brute you ran away from?
07:56You still don't see it.
07:58I'm giving you everything you want.
08:01Once the Shogun and his loyalists are dead, you're free.
08:04Right after you, the only surviving member of the Ito clan,
08:08declare support for your father as a new Shogun.
08:13I won't.
08:16You breathed your first breath because of me.
08:19And you breathed now because I allow it.
08:25A son is needed.
08:28For once in my life, I call on a daughter.
08:32That fat white pig thinks I'll be his compliant little puppet.
08:37Once I get rid of him, all of Japan will be mine too.
08:49Seki!
08:50What is this?
08:52Akemi is coming with me.
08:55If she wishes.
08:58You...
08:58You came back for me.
09:06I did what I thought was best for you.
09:08When it was never for me to decide.
09:13Can you forgive me, child?
09:17All these years at my side.
09:20To throw your life away today.
09:23For a daughter.
09:30You breathe now.
09:32Because I allow it.
09:34No!
09:55Who released Lady Akemi?
09:57Stand aside, fool.
09:59You know I speak for Lord Daichi.
10:01Not this time.
10:03Turn around.
10:04Back to your cell.
10:26Who is your friend?
10:28He's not my friend.
10:30Do you still want your freedom?
10:32him. Then follow me. Ringo's waiting for you at the sewer. Ringo? Your ski plan is Ringo?
11:10It worked! Sorry. Falcons dive. Not bad. You've been draining. Taigen! You're here! The Shogun
11:26is in danger. I am still a loyal samurai. I came to warn him of Fowler's insurgents.
11:33You know the Shogun? I can't get anywhere near him. I told the head of the castle guard
11:39I saw the white man's army and camped outside Edo. He just said there are no white men in
11:44Japan. Where's the Shogun now? In the castle garden surrounded by guards. If I tried to
11:51reach him alone, I'd be dead in seven steps. Maybe together we can get near enough to warn
11:59him before we die. Come with me and we can- Master said- Mizu doesn't care about anyone
12:05but himself. And his revenge. Ringo, didn't you say you wanted to be great? The gods are
12:14giving you that chance. Now, what do you do when you get exactly what you prayed for?
12:24There. By the water. Eight guards. Archers. How do we get around them all? A puzzle. Hmm. What
12:36would Master do? Mizu? Mizu is the least careful, least tactical, most infuriating man I've ever
12:44met. Yes. But what would he do? He's so stupid he goes straight to the front door.
12:52Police.
12:53They'reet on the moon!
13:16Don't attack!
13:17Listen! We come with him!
13:19Warning! Listen to me!
13:22It went fine.
13:24He's an odious creature,
13:25even for a white man.
13:30Taigen!
13:35Why do you do business with him?
13:37Please.
13:39A pleasant day wants pleasant subjects.
13:42Takayoshi,
13:43where is your beautiful new wife?
13:46Have you tired her out so soon?
13:51Kill me if you want!
13:52But let me warn the Shogun first!
13:55His life is in danger!
14:05The Shogun?
14:07Who dares point a weapon
14:08in the Shogun's direction?
14:10I'm not an assassin.
14:11Listen, I'm a loyal samurai from Kyoto
14:14serving Lord Daichi Tokunobu.
14:16Come with a warning
14:17to save the Shogun's life.
14:20A Baisha Fowler
14:21is coming
14:22with an army
14:23armed with guns.
14:26Please.
14:27Only look,
14:29then kill me.
14:38Let me ask you
14:40to wear it.
14:40I'll bring you
14:40to the Shogun's life.
14:41I'm not sure.
14:43I'm not sure you
14:43like the Shogun.
14:44I'll bring you
14:44to the Shogun's life.
14:45I'll bring you
14:45to be up here.
14:47Listen to me.
14:48I know.
14:52I'll bring you
14:53to the Shogun.
14:55Sit back here,
14:58and take you
14:58spend it on fire.
14:59So quickly,
15:24We don't have long
15:28Wait
15:33Why are we stopping?
15:37Freedom
15:38I reclaimed a portion of your
15:40Daori
15:41With this you can go anywhere
15:44Live any life you want
15:46With Taigen
15:47Without
15:48Your direction will never again be anyone's choice
15:51But yours
15:55The farm you grew up on in Kokura
15:57On the hill
15:59Away from everything
16:04Do you think it's still there?
16:13He's here
16:25Take them to the keep
16:26Hurry
16:28Every archer
16:30Every man
16:32Do not make me meet my enemy
16:35They won't reach the first gate
16:39You are a loyal samurai
16:42Give this man a sword
16:43He stays at my side
16:51And he stays at mine
16:56Shogun
17:05Hurry
17:06Hurry
17:07You'll be safe in here
17:15You were the second son
17:21You recently married
17:25Where is your wife?
17:29I don't
17:32Know
17:41Fowler
17:42He's here
17:44Go to the north sewer
17:45Ringo will be there waiting to take you out of the city
17:47Stop for nothing
17:50Akemi
17:51We are not friends
17:53Taigen is searching for you
17:57Stubborn enough he'll find you
17:59He believes he loves you very much
18:03He's not a good man
18:06He could be a great one
18:09He's walking away
18:10What?
18:28Step
18:29Step
18:29Step
18:30Step
18:30Step
18:31Step
18:33Step
18:33Step
18:33Step
18:35Step
18:39Let them come.
18:41No one's breached these walls in 400 years.
18:53Here's as good as anywhere.
19:00Fire, please.
19:31Fire, please.
19:37Fire, please.
20:04The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
20:08All defenses get in line. They got over the bridge, now they're pinned at the gate. Get ready to slaughter
20:14them all.
20:16Marchers, aim!
20:47The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
20:47The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
20:52The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
21:08The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
21:16They tore through the first gate like paper.
21:32The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
21:35The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
21:52The Shogun has no idea what's coming.
21:56Ready the oil! Go!
22:02Captain, is the final gate secure?
22:05Locked from within. Even if they get close, they'll never push through.
22:09Good.
22:39I'll trace it.
22:42I had to.
22:48Out of last.
23:08I can tell theンナ Elders.
23:16Do it.
23:38Fall of an Empire.
23:40In under an hour.
23:43In the matter of the death of civilizations, it comes down to technology.
23:48We invented worse first.
23:51Not fair.
23:53But here we are.
24:10Get ready.
24:13I don't know.
24:13Come on.
24:37Did I kill you?
24:40You can thank us for saving you the tedium of a siege, starving children.
24:47I credit you with vision.
24:52You wanted to preserve a beautiful heritage from a changing world to be, let be, in strict isolation?
25:00It might have lasted a handful of centuries.
25:06But you got greedy.
25:08You read our letter 20 years ago, my partners and me.
25:13And you said, yes.
25:18What's the harm in a little trade?
25:21A small crack in the wall.
25:25All that vision you couldn't see how little space a bullet needs.
25:32I couldn't discover a new world, so I'm going to reveal one.
25:37My new shogun will break open your welded borders.
25:42Open Japan wide to the west.
25:45We'll flood your land with our people, our music, our shame, bread and milk.
25:51Until you think an ugly face like mine more beautiful than your own.
25:59You think I fear death?
26:04Put away your gun.
26:08I will die with honor.
26:11Oh no.
26:13They need to see it.
26:15Your humiliation.
26:17That's how they'll know.
26:28You will bow to us, or you will die now.
26:40Lord Maury.
26:42I didn't know you had it in here.
26:45Anyone else?
26:47Well, let's get on with it.
26:49The sun's next, I think.
27:22Kill him.
27:30Is there a passage out of the castle?
27:33Get your family to safety.
27:35We'll hold them back.
27:53You were supposed to wait outside.
27:57Sorry.
28:00Mizu!
28:01Go after him!
28:02Go!
28:03Go!
28:04Go!
28:07Ringo, get out of the city.
28:31Name your price.
28:33You want gold?
28:34You want to be a lord?
28:36They can all be yours.
28:40He will kill you.
28:42With a sword.
28:52I don't know.
29:41I don't know.
29:49I don't know.
30:20I don't know.
31:09I don't know.
31:13I don't know.
31:20I don't know.
31:24I don't know.
31:25I don't know.
31:30I don't know.
31:31I don't know.
31:31I don't know.
31:57I don't know.
31:59I don't know.
31:59I don't know.
32:02This doesn't end until you die.
32:33I don't know.
32:36I don't know.
32:39I don't know.
32:45I don't know.
32:53I don't know.
32:55I don't know.
33:07I don't know.
33:13I don't know.
33:14I don't know.
33:22I don't know.
33:32I don't know.
33:39I don't know.
33:41I don't know.
33:43I don't know.
33:49I don't know.
33:58Wait, I can stop this
34:00The soldiers
34:03Seki, help me
34:04We can trap them inside
34:05We can escape now
34:07And live under their rule?
34:10If they win, my father wins
34:31Let's go
35:00Ziggy! Ziggy, no!
35:04They'll count us both among the dead. Go if you want. Always, only as you want. You're free.
35:26My favorite dream for Japan is the one rule by you. I raised you to the...
35:44I raised you.
35:50Ziggy!
36:00Ziggy!
36:00Ziggy!
36:31Ziggy!
36:33Ziggy!
36:35Ziggy!
36:35Ziggy!
36:36Ziggy!
36:47Ziggy!
36:48Ziggy!
36:49The Lords are coming. They'll be trapped.
36:52They saw your father die. They saw his shame. They should have opened their stomachs when they had the chance.
36:59You are Shogun now. This is what it means to rule.
37:10Ziggy!
37:14Ziggy!
37:16Ziggy!
37:19Ziggy!
37:21Ziggy!
37:36Oh, Saki.
37:41Saki, no.
37:42Saki, no.
37:51He wanted me to be free, away from my life, from royalty, all of it.
38:04Akemi, he was right.
38:09We found each other again.
38:11I don't care about any of this anymore.
38:15I just want to be a man with you.
38:19We could be happy.
38:27Come.
38:30Saki didn't tell me to run.
38:35He told me to do what I want.
38:39We should stay.
38:42We don't have to.
38:45I don't need to be great.
38:48I just want to be happy.
38:57I want to be great.
39:20Come on, Master.
39:40You're bones break like a woman's.
39:55Oh, you just keep getting better.
39:57You're a little miss.
40:01So you're the one?
40:06Oh, you're the one more person you want to get in there?
40:32No.
40:32You're the one more person.
40:32Come on, Master.
40:32There are a lot of people who run around you.
40:33The biggest city in the world is burning to the ground as a blood sacrifice to your revenge.
40:46Oh, my dear. That's your white half showing. Maybe you are mine.
40:54There are four of you. Come to Japan trading guns, opium, flesh. Where are the other two?
41:03So you can kill all four of your maybe fathers?
41:07Tell me.
41:11Kill me? You'll never find them? They're hidden. Past even your pretty eyes.
41:18I found Violet. I found you.
41:21We lived loud. You'll never find Skeffington alone. You're tall, like him. Or Riley with his pretty eyes.
41:34Skeffington. Riley.
41:40They were the worst of us. Wealth-drawn selling Japan's unwanted daughters like you.
41:48You...
41:50Don't you want to know who they are?
41:52Did you want to know which one tried to burn you alive as a baby?
41:57Which one killed your mother?
41:58I saw my mother die.
42:01Did you?
42:04That wasn't your mother.
42:07That was your maid.
42:10Paid to keep you hidden.
42:12Which I hear she did till the money ran out.
42:15What?
42:17There's so much you don't know.
42:24Scaffington.
42:27Rightly.
42:29You want to find them?
42:31You need me.
42:34Alive.
42:35Why?
42:37Because I know another word you don't know.
42:41A magic word.
42:46London.
42:47None.
43:06Two thousand guns recovered.
43:10Destroy everyone.
43:13My son will not make the same mistakes his father did.
43:18We will not indulge any influence of the West.
43:27So much lost.
43:29Cities can be rebuilt.
43:32Your prayers should be in thanks.
43:35Your brother survived.
43:37And your wife.
43:45I thank heaven for her safety.
43:52How grateful we are your father lived.
43:56Are his wounds severe?
43:59My father is strong.
44:02He only needs time for quiet recovery.
44:06Under my care.
44:28I waited.
44:33Master didn't come back.
44:38Hmm.
44:39Hmm.
44:45We can wait forever.
44:50Or...
44:52We can work.
45:19In a long walk.
45:30He took a long walk.
45:31If he had a long walk.
45:31Have a long walk.
45:37Then Jesus.
45:37That house is gone.
45:38I was like a lot of people who were married.
