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.
02:28Master.
02:44Of all the indignities Father dumps on us,
02:47this fat, white, overcooked dumpling is the worst.
02:56Unnecessary evil.
02:59Ah.
03:00The 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?
03:22Crass I know, but for once I thought I'd dispense with metaphor, and just bring the thing itself.
03:29Your father thinks of me, and thinks of the gold I bring, here it is, here I am.
03:38My father extends his gratitude for our continued alliance.
03:42Alliance?
03:43I made your father the second richest man in the world.
03:50The Shogun thanks you.
03:54Does 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.
04:12I 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.
04:28You 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, the high lords feasting, drinking, heady affairs of state.
04:41I, mustn't I rate a seat at that table, this time?
04:47As I said, it would be difficult.
04:53Of course, until next year then.
05:15Our finest Nishijin brocade, woven 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, a male, a feared pack leader, known to have sired 50 young from 40 females.
05:45A worthy cup for the Shogun.
06:02An auspicious sign, blessings conferred over the council of elders.
06:10An auspicious sign, blessings conferred over the council of elders.
06:11An auspicious sign, blessings conferred over the council of elders at the council of elders.
06:25I'd sooner believe you a ghost than still alive.
06:29I 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.
06:49Nor 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 Shogunate today.
06:58He'll kill everyone in the Edo clan. Anyone in their household.
07:03What if my girls heard rumors of an attack?
07:07Akimi took her to inform her father. I haven't seen either since.
07:11Go. Now. Take your girls and run.
07:17Be far away when the gunfire starts.
07:28All the lords are in the sun.
07:30Drinking. Games.
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.
08:06The only surviving member of the Edo clan.
08:09Declare support for your father as a new Shogun.
08:13I won't.
08:16You breathed your first breath because of me.
08:19And you breathe now because I allow it.
08:25A son is needed.
08:27For 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?
08:51Akemi 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.
09:34One.
09:36One.
09:46One.
10:00To be continued...
10:04Back to your cell.
10:26Who is your friend?
10:28He is not my friend.
10:30Do you still want your freedom?
10:36Then follow me.
10:38Ringo is waiting for you at the sewer.
10:42Ringo?
10:44Your ski plan is Ringo?
11:09Ringo is waiting for you.
11:10It worked!
11:11Sorry.
11:16Falcons dive.
11:18Not bad.
11:20You've been training.
11:22Taigen!
11:23You're here!
11:25The Shogun is in danger.
11:27I am still a loyal samurai.
11:29I came to warn him of Fowler's insurgents.
11:33You know the Shogun?
11:35I can't get anywhere near him.
11:38I told the head of the castle guard I saw the white man's army and camped outside Edo.
11:42He just said, there are no white men in Japan.
11:46Where's the Shogun now?
11:48In the castle garden surrounded by guards.
11:50If I tried to reach him alone, I'd be dead in seven steps.
11:56Maybe, together, we can get near enough to warn him before we die.
12:02Come with me and we can...
12:03Master said,
12:04Mizu doesn't care about anyone but himself.
12:06And his revenge.
12:09Ringo,
12:10didn't you say you wanted to be great?
12:13The gods are giving you that chance.
12:16Now,
12:17what do you do when you get exactly what you prayed for?
12:24There.
12:25By the water.
12:27Eight guards, archers.
12:30How do we get around them all?
12:32A puzzle.
12:34Hmm.
12:35What would Master do?
12:38Mizu?
12:39Mizu is the least careful,
12:40least tactical,
12:42most infuriating man I've ever met.
12:45Yes.
12:47But what would he do?
12:49He's so stupid,
12:50he goes straight to the front door.
12:58Oh!
13:13Get him!
13:14Got them both!
13:16Don't attack!
13:17Listen!
13:18We come with him!
13:19Warning!
13:20Listen to me!
13:22It went fine.
13:24He's an odious creature,
13:25even for a white man.
13:30Tygen!
13:35Why do you do business with him?
13:37Please.
13:39A pleasant day wants pleasant subjects.
13:42Takayoshi,
13:44where 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 in the shogun's direction?
14:10I'm not an assassin.
14:11I'm a loyal samurai from Kyoto,
14:14serving Lord Daichi Tokunobu.
14:16Come with a warning to save the shogun's life.
14:20A Baisha Fowler is coming,
14:22with an army,
14:24armed with guns.
14:26Please,
14:28only look,
14:29then kill me.
14:35I'm so sorry.
14:38I'm so sorry.
14:47I'm so sorry.
14:51I'm so sorry.
15:02Let's go.
15:23Hurry. We don't have long.
15:28Wait.
15:33Why are we stopping?
15:37Freedom.
15:38I reclaimed a portion of your
15:40diary. With this, you can go
15:43anywhere. Live any life
15:45you want. With Taigen,
15:48without, your direction
15:49will never again be anyone's
15:51choice, but yours.
15:55The farm you grew up on in
15:57Kokura. On the hill.
15:59Away from everything.
16:04Do you think
16:05it's still there?
16:13He's here.
16:25Take them to the keep.
16:27Hurry.
16:29Every archer,
16:30every man,
16:32do not make me meet my
16:34enemy. They won't reach
16:36the first gate.
16:39You are a loyal
16:40samurai.
16:42Give this man a sword.
16:44He stays at my
16:45side.
16:51And he stays at mine.
16:56Shogun!
17:05Hurry. Hurry.
17:07Hurry. Hurry.
17:07You'll be safe in here.
17:16You're the second
17:17son.
17:21You recently married.
17:26Where is your wife?
17:30I don't...
17:32know.
17:40Fowler.
17:41He's here.
17:44Go to the north sewer.
17:45Ringo will be there waiting to
17:46take you out of the city.
17:48Stop for nothing.
17:50Akemi.
17:51We are not friends.
17:53Taigen is searching for you.
17:57Stubborn enough,
17:57he'll find you.
17:59He believes he loves you
18:00very much.
18:02He's not a good man.
18:06He could be a great one.
18:39Let them come.
18:41No one's breached these walls
18:43in 400 years.
18:53Here's as good as anywhere.
19:00Fire, please.
19:01Fire, please.
19:02Fire, please.
19:10Fire, please.
19:11Fire, please.
19:18Fire, please.
19:18Fire, please.
19:19Fire, please.
19:20Fire, please.
19:20Fire, please.
19:20Fire, please.
19:21Fire, please.
19:21Fire, please.
19:22Fire, please.
19:22Fire, please.
19:23Fire, please.
19:23Fire, please.
19:24Fire, please.
19:25Fire, please.
19:25Fire, please.
19:26Fire, please.
19:32Let's go.
20:02An army of guns. The 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!
20:39Marchers, aim!
21:16They tore through the first gate like paper.
21:56Ready the oil!
21:58Go!
22:01Captain.
22:03Is the final gate secure?
22:06Locked from within.
22:07Even if they get close, they'll never push through.
22:11Good.
22:38All right.
23:16Do it.
23:37Fall 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.
24:37Did I kill you?
24:40You can thank us for saving you the tedium of a siege, starving children.
24:46I credit you with vision.
24:52You wanted to preserve a beautiful heritage from a changing world, to be, let be, in strict isolation.
24:59It might have lasted a handful of centuries.
25:33But you got greedy.
25:34So 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?
26:05Put 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.
26:20No.
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.
27:09The sun's next, I think.
27:31Is there a passage out of the castle?
27:33Get your family to safety.
27:35We'll hold them back.
27:54You were supposed to wait outside.
27:57Sorry.
28:00Mizzou!
28:01Go after him!
28:03Go!
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 with a sword.
28:52Oh, my god.
28:56Oh, my...
28:56Oh, my...
28:58Oh, my...
29:00Oh, my...
29:37Oh, my God.
29:43Oh, my God.
30:18Oh, my God.
30:39Oh, my God.
31:11Nothing comes from being a samurai but death.
31:20We're not done yet.
31:24I know.
31:25Oh, my God.
31:58You don't know what I've done to reach you.
32:02This doesn't end until you die.
32:32Oh, my God.
32:45He's crazy.
32:53Oh, my God.
32:58Oh, my God.
33:11Oh, my God.
33:14Oh, my God.
33:30Oh, my God.
33:39Oh, my God.
33:40Oh, my God.
33:49We must hurry.
33:58Wait. I can stop this.
34:01The soldiers.
34:03Seki, help me. We can trap them inside.
34:06We can escape now.
34:08And live under their rule?
34:09If they win, my father wins.
34:58Seki, Seki, no!
35:04They'll count us both among the dead.
35:08Go if you want.
35:12Always only as you want.
35:18You're free.
35:26My favorite dream for Japan is the one rule by you.
35:35I raised you to...
35:44I raised you.
35:49Seki?
35:59Seki?
36:01Seki?

40:30you're the one
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.
41:50Don'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?
41:59I saw my mother die.
42:01Did you?
42:04That wasn't your mother. That was your maid.
42:10Paid to keep you hidden. Which 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.
42:36Why?
42:38Because I know another word you don't know.
42:41A magic word.
42:46London.
42:47London.
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.
44:01He only needs time for quiet recovery.
44:06Under my care.
44:28I waited.
44:33Master didn't come back.
44:39Hmm.
44:39Hmm.
44:45We can wait forever.
44:50Or...
44:52We can work.
45:10How long?
45:26Oh, my God.
