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.
02:28Dear dad.
02:31Master.
02:44Of all the indignities Father dumps on us...
02:47This fat white overcooked dumpling is the worst
02:56Unnecessary evil. No 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
03:27And just bring the thing itself
03:29Your father thinks of me and thinks of the gold I bring. Here it is. Here I am
03:37My father extends his gratitude for our continued alliance
03:41Alliance?
03:44I made your father the second richest man in the world
03:51The 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 advisers who'd accept my gifts on behalf
04:10Now I get his strapping sons
04:12I don't suppose this year I might be allowed to meet the man in person
04:19face to face
04:20After all these 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
04:38Drinking heady affairs of state
04:42Mustn't I rate a seat at that table
04:44This time
04:47As I said
04:50It would be difficult
04:54Of course
04:58Until next year then
05:00I gave him a
05:15A
05:15Ito
05:15A
05:16Ito
05:16To me
05:16I
05:17I
05:17I
05:17I
05:17I
05:17I
05:17I
05:18I
05:20I
05:20I
05:30I
05:30to discuss. One more gift, if you'll permit. Carved from rhinoceros horn, a male, a feared
05:40pack leader, known to have sired 50 young from 40 females. A worthy cup for the Shogun.
06:02An auspicious sign. Blessings conferred over the Council of Elders.
06:23Hmm. I'd sooner believe you a ghost than still alive. I take it you saw Fowler's castle
06:31and ran. Where's Akimi? I watched you watch soldiers drag her off screaming. She's Lady
06:39Akimi now. Lady Akimi gave me and my girls comfortable positions here. I see to her affairs
06:46and she would not want you here. Nor would the castle guards want to find a man in the
06:52women's quarters. I've followed Fowler here. I believe he's planning to overthrow the Shogunate
06:57today. He'll kill everyone in the Edo clan. Anyone in their household. What if my girls
07:04heard rumors of an attack? Akimi took her to inform her father. I haven't seen either since.
07:11Go. Now. Take your girls and run. Be far away when the gunfire starts.
07:27All the lords are in the sun. Drinking. Games. Bowing to a Shogun who will soon be
07:34dead. You should eat. It's an important day.
07:47You used to look at me with admiration. You planned to have my husband killed. You mean the horrible
07:54brute you ran away from? You still don't see it. I'm giving you everything you want.
08:01Once the Shogun and his loyalists are dead, you're free. Right after you, the only surviving
08:07member of the Edo clan, declare support for your father as a new Shogun.
08:14I won't.
08:16You breathed your first breath because of me. And you breathe now because I allow it.
08:25A son is needed. For once in my life, I call on a daughter. That fat white pig thinks I'll
08:35be his compliant little puppet. Once I get rid of him, all of Japan will be mine too.
08:49Seki! What is this?
08:52Akemi is coming with me. If she wishes.
08:58You... you came back for me.
09:06I did what I thought was best for you, when it was never for me to decide.
09:13Can you forgive me, child?
09:17All these years at my side, to throw your life away today. For a daughter.
09:30You breathe now. Because I allow it.
09:55Who released Lady Akemi?
09:57Stand aside, fool. You know I speak for Lord Daichi.
10:01Not this time. Turn around. Back 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. Ringo is waiting for you at the sewer.
10:42Ringo?
10:44Your ski plan is Ringo?
10:47Ringo?
11:16Ringo is waiting for you.
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.
11:30I 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?
11:47In the castle garden surrounded by guards.
11:50If I tried to reach him alone, I'd be dead in seven steps.
11:57Maybe 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 and his revenge.
12:09Ringo, didn't you say you wanted to be great?
12:13The gods are giving you that chance.
12:16Now, what do you do when you get exactly what you prayed for?
12:24There, by the water.
12:27Eight guards, archers.
12:29How do we get around them all?
12:32A puzzle.
12:34Hmm.
12:35What would Master do?
12:38Mizu?
12:39Mizu is the least careful, least tactical, most infuriating man I've ever met.
12:44Yes.
12:47But what would he do?
12:49He's so stupid, he'd go straight to the front door.
13:13He's so stupid, old man.
13:16He's so stupid.
13:17He's so stupid.
13:19He's so stupid.
13:22It went fine. He's an odious creature, even for a white man.
13:35Why do you do business with him?
13:37Please. A pleasant day wants pleasant subjects.
13:42Takayoshi, where is your beautiful new wife? Have you tired her out so soon?
13:51Kill me if you want, but let me warn the Shogun first. His life is in danger.
14:05The Shogun?
14:07Who dares point a weapon in the Shogun's direction?
14:10I am not an assassin. I am a loyal samurai from Kyoto, serving Lord Daichi Tokunobu.
14:16Come with a warning to save the Shogun's life.
14:20Abijah Fowler is coming, with an army armed with guns.
14:26Please, only look, then kill me.
15:04I am not a will!
15:06What about this?
15:06No, no, no, no!
15:08I am a walnuts.
15:08I am not a wager of armor!
15:09No, no!
15:18Hey, that's the ghost!
15:19I am a walnuts.
15:20An army is coming! An army is coming!
15:23Hurry. We don't have long.
15:28Wait.
15:33Why are we stopping?
15:37Freedom.
15:38I reclaimed a portion of your diary.
15:42With this, you can go anywhere.
15:44Live any life you want.
15:46But with Taigen, without, your direction will never again be anyone's choice but yours.
15:55The farm you grew up on in Kokura.
15:58On the hill.
15:59Away from everything.
16:04Do you think it's still there?
16:13He's here.
16:25Take them to the keep.
16:27Hurry.
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.
16:44He stays at my side.
16:51And he stays at mine.
16:57Shogun!
17:05Hurry.
17:06Hurry.
17:07You'll be safe in here.
17:16You were the second son.
17:21You were recently married.
17:25Where is your wife?
17:29I don't...
17:30I don't...
17:31I don't...
17:38know.
17:40Fowler.
17:41He's here.
17:44Go to the North sewer.
17:45Ringo will be there waiting to take 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, he'll find you.
17:59He believes he loves you very much.
18:02He's not a good man.
18:06He could be a great one.
18:07You're right.
18:16He's like a good boy.
18:19He's like an old man.
18:19You're the one man.
18:21He's just going to take you out of the city.
18:22You're...
18:26You're the one man.
18:31You're the one man.
18:35You're the one man.
18:36You're the one man.
18:39Let them come. No one's breached these walls in 400 years.
18:53Here's as good as anywhere.
19:00Fire, please.
19:33Fire, please.
19:38Fire, 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.
20:57The 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.
