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.
02:40Lord...
02:44Of all the indignities Father dumps on us, this fat, white, overcooked dumpling is the worst.
02:56Unnecessary evil.
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?
03:23Crass, 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 alliance?
03:44I made your father the second richest man in the world.
03:51The Shogun thanks you.
03:54D-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.
04:10Now I get his strapping sons.
04:13I 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.
04:33The council of elders at the height of the spring matsuri.
04:36The high lords feasting and drinking.
04:39Heady affairs of state.
04:42Mustn't I rate a seat at that table this time?
04:47As I said, it would be difficult.
04:54Of course.
04:57Until next year then.
05:15Our finest Nishijin brocade woven with gold for Shogun Ito.
05:26Enough gifts for now.
05:28We 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.
05:41Known to have sired 50 young from 40 females.
05:44A worthy cup for the Shogun.
06:02An auspicious sign.
06:04Blessings conferred over 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 a Kimmy?
06:33I 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 Ito 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?
07:07A Kimmy took her to inform her father.
07:09I haven't seen either since.
07:11Go. Now.
07:13Take your girls and run.
07:17Be far away when the gunfire starts.
07:27All the lords are in the sun, drinking, games, bowing 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 Ito clan.
08:09Declare support for your father as a new Shogun.
08:13I won't.
08:15You 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.
09:19To throw your life away today.
09:23For a daughter.
09:30You breathe now.
09:32Because I allow it.
09:55Who released Lady Akemi?
09:57You know I speak for Lord Daichi.
10:01Not this time.
10:03Turn around.
10:04Back to your cell.
10:26Who is your friend?
10:28Who is your friend?
10:29He 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?
10:47Is it for you at the sewer?
11:16Falcons dive.
11:18Not bad.
11:20You've been draining.
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?
11:48In the castle gardens surrounded by guards.
11:51If 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.
12:25By the water.
12:27Eight guards.
12:29Archers.
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.
12:45Yes.
12:47But what would he do?
12:49He's so stupid, he'd go straight to the front door.
13:03The End
13:13Get him!
13:14Stop them, boys!
13:16Don't attack!
13:17Listen!
13:18We come with a...
13:19Warning!
13:20Listen to me!
13:21It went fine.
13:24He's an odious creature, even 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, where 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?
14:06Who dares point a weapon in the Shogun's direction?
14:10I am not an assassin.
14:11I am a loyal samurai from Kyoto, serving 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.
14:27Only look.
14:29Then kill me.
14:31And to take...
14:47Time for tomorrow...
14:48Let's go.
15:19We're going to sleep! An 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.
15:46With 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. Hurry.
16:29Every 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. Hurry.
17:07You'll be safe in here.
17:15You were the second son.
17:20You were recently married.
17:25Where is your wife?
17:29I don't...
17:31know.
17:41Fowler is 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.
18:03He's not a good man.
18:06He could be a great one.
18:39Let them come.
18:41No one's breached these walls in four hundred years.
18:53Here's as good as anywhere.
19:00Fire, please.
19:28Oh...
19:31Oh, come on.
19:35Bong HP.
19:37Oh, come on.
19:39Oh, come on.
19:41Oh, come on.
19:43Oh, come on.
19:46Oh, come on.
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!
20:28March.
20:32March.
20:34March!
20:43March.
20:44March.
21:16They tore through the first gate like paper.
21:57Ready the oil!
21:59Go!
22:01Captain.
22:03Is the final gate secure?
22:06Locked from within.
22:07Even if they get close, they'll never push through.
22:09Good.
22:11Good.
22:17Good.
22:26Good.
22:28Good.
22:34Good.
22:40Good.
22:42Good.

23:38Fall of an empire in under an hour.
23:43In the matter of the death of civilizations, it comes down to technology.

31:58You don't know what I've done to reach you.

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.
35:19You're free.
35:20Seki, my favorite dream for Japan is the one rule by you.
35:35I raised you to...
35:44I raised you.
35:50Seki.
35:59Seki.

37:01this is what it means to rule
37:13freeze
37:34kill me oh
37:38No, Saki. Saki, no.
37:50He wanted me to be free. Away from my life. From royalty. All of it.
38:04Akemi. He was right. We found each other again. I don't care about any of this anymore. I just want
38:15to be a man. With you. We could be happy.
38:26Come.
38:30Saki didn't tell me to run. He told me to do what I want. We should stay.
38:42We don't have to. I don't need to be great. I just want to be happy.
38:57I want to be great.
39:20Come on, Master.
39:22Come on, Master.
39:40Your bones break like a woman's.
39:55Oh, you just keep getting better.
39:59Little miss.
40:01So you're the one?
40:05Oh, yes.
40:12Oh, my God.
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 Ridley with his pretty eyes.
41:34Skeffington. Ridley.
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?
41:52Don't 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.
42:07That was your maid.
42:10Paid to keep you hidden.
42:12Which I hear she did till the money ran out.
42:17There's so much you don't know.
42:24Scaffington.
42:27Ridley.
42:29You want to find them, you need me.
42:34Alive.
42:36Why?
42:37Because I know another word you don't know.
42:41A magic word.
42:46London.
43:052,000 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.
44:29I waited.
44:33Master didn't come back.
44:39Master didn't come back.
44:45We can wait forever.
44:50Or.
44:52We can work.
44:57Master didn't come back.
45:01Master didn't come back.
