18:29that child seems to be passed
18:41that we've got some
18:51I don't know.
19:18I don't know.
19:20Your tools you use in place of hands.
19:24Who made them?
19:28I did.
19:30Why?
19:31To be useful.
19:33Is that all?
19:41I want to be a samurai.
19:43I want to be great.
19:47Most people laugh when I tell them that.
19:51Is it funny?
19:53Samurai needs hands.
19:55Do they?
19:56As a sword maker needs eyes.
20:01Your hands.
20:04An accident or by birth?
20:07Birth.
20:09Your eyes?
20:11Of fire.
20:12Yeah.
20:15And now fire listens to you.
20:20Hmm.
20:20Hmm.
20:21Hmm.
20:59Hmm.
21:11You worked all night. Thought you might be hungry.
21:17Old man Itagaki's famous fish dumplings.
21:20Only good thing about Kohama.
21:23I've never tried him before. Remember?
21:27Or was just a dog who ate gutter scraps?
21:33Your blade.
21:35The steel wouldn't form for me.
21:37So what?
21:39You have to go after that son of a bitch father before it's too late.
21:42The sword is the soul of the samurai.
21:45No, that's just what they tell first year students in the dojo.
21:48You're good. Maybe better than me.
21:52And no one is better than me.
21:56Look, the weapon doesn't matter.
22:00You could beat him with a hammer.
22:03Here, get up.
22:04Master Asia won't like you moving things.
22:12I'm in way too much pain to spar.
22:24You think you can take me down twice?
22:41Oh, I-I-I-I-I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.
22:50Don't be sorry, Tygen.
22:54Tygen.
22:55Tygen...
22:56Must be missing Akemi.
23:00There's something I need to tell you.
23:12You'll never see Akemi again.
23:14What?
23:15She's in Edo, marrying Takayoshi Ito.
23:18How do you know this?
23:19I stood by as the Tokunobu guards took her away.
23:22She came looking for me to save your engagement.
23:25And you just let them take her?
23:27It was for her own good.
23:30I have to go to Edo.
23:32No, it's too dangerous.
23:33Fowler is plotting an attack on Edo castle.
23:36What?
23:36I saw his plans.
23:38He has an army armed with foreign rifles.
23:40He's smart.
23:41He'll move to strike during the Council of Elders.
23:43You've known all this time.
23:46The Shogun is in danger. Akemi is in danger.
23:49What kind of samurai are you?
23:51I'm going to kill Fowler.
23:54Not for honor.
23:55For hate.
23:57You really are a demon.
24:05I'm going to Edo to warn the Shogun.
24:07And then I'm going to find you.
24:10And kill you.
24:21The greatest gift I ever received was from Lady Edo, who gave me two sons.
24:27So that should I die, it would be of no consequence to the nation, save the trouble of a few
24:34prayers.
24:36It is with pleasure, I offer a seat to celebrate the union of my second son, Takayoshi Ito, to the
24:44only daughter of Lord Daichi Tokunu.
24:49Each of you is here for your proven devotion to the Shogun.
24:54And the bride is as loyal as your plans are to me.
24:58What?
24:59May her womb be as fruitful as your field.
25:13My dear, your meal was prepared especially for you.
25:26Rabbit liver in a veluté of horse semen. For fertility. I do hope you can handle your duties as an
25:35Ito wife.
25:40You'll find I can handle anything.
25:42You'll find I can handle anything.
25:48Chilled fox brain for wisdom.
25:52A potage from fetal pig's blood for youth and vitality.
26:04This one was your husband's idea.
26:09Such a sweet boy.
26:39Chilled fox brain for wisdom.
26:40And the shadow of your son's comfort with.
26:41Chilled fox brain for wisdom.

29:35You've enjoyed your dinner so much.
29:36He provided you breakfast and lunch.
29:51Is it funny to torment me?
29:53Kill my bird and make me eat it?
29:55Give me two more?
29:59Say something.
30:00Was it beneath you to speak to me?
30:05It was an apology for my mother.
30:29I see.
30:32Your gift was sincere.
30:34Can my husband forgive me for striking him?
30:43My husband has no cause for shame with his wife.
30:47Nor need he ever rush his reply.
30:49The most brilliant tutor I ever had had a stammer.
30:53Lesser teachers laughed.
30:54But I knew it was because his mind was so full of thoughts, his mouth simply couldn't keep up.
31:01When he recited poetry, the words filled with meaning.
31:05It filled me with fire.
31:08I always had a devastating crush on him.
31:13Again, can my husband forgive me for striking him?
31:18Yes.
31:21Would my husband recite for me?
31:36I would have not dingen to
31:37But I know Dad didn't!
31:37He's an important quiverman when he co-tonged one.
31:38He's必須 for him as well.
31:40Then, he'll get his���.
31:46Was he able to escape you?
31:46He's with noblem now!
31:53Oh, you're Pan on the wall!
31:54I hope she tells you beingu o such!
31:54Ringo.
32:01You know the Heart Sutra?
32:05The body's emptiness.
32:07An emptiness body.
32:09All things are only empty.
32:12Nothing is born.
32:13Nothing broken.
32:26There are some things I cannot do alone.
32:58I want to hear you.
33:03Go on.
33:08If only for tonight.
33:13Let us share this pillow.
33:18For I have long traveled.
33:22The pathway of my dreams.
33:24To find reality.
33:55I will go.
33:59I will go.
34:12I will go.
34:20Oh, my God.
34:46I searched every boat and every cart on every coast and found nothing.
34:53There are no Western guns in Japan.
34:55I fear your white man is a fraud and you are on your way to your death.
35:02Hmm. A letter?
35:05Just business.
35:06Finish your business. I have something to show you.
35:11A shiny new toy.
35:15I asked for two condemned men they sent for.
35:19It's nice to be respected.
35:30Go on, then. Do your worst.
35:44My turn. Time to test our guns.
35:50Our guns? I don't understand.
35:54Where are they?
35:58They're right here.
36:00Of course, I had to modify the designs to get 2,000 rifles from my country into yours without notice.
36:06My country's history is one of manufactured suffering.
36:10I was a boy when the Tudors burned any food the rebels under O'Neill might think to eat.
36:16We starved. Everyone starved.
36:18Mouths on the dead stand green from chewing nettles.
36:22You get resourceful in a famine.
36:23My parents died early, left me and my sister.
36:27Catching rats.
36:28The rats ran out quick, fed my sister on my blood, kept her alive an extra two weeks.
36:37I didn't sleep for three days to protect her body from the starving till the ground thawed.
36:42I cut out her kidneys and buried her.
36:47Fat cap on them like a pea.
36:49I haven't eaten a single meal since my mind didn't go to that bite.
36:55It was the last thing I ever did because I had to.
37:00I control my life now.
37:05Every bite.
37:31Master Cheeper tried to steal my delivery.
37:35I think he had a mind to lead our coup without us.
37:39You want his thumbs?
37:44What about his soldiers?
37:46They're your soldiers now.
37:49Seems we lost our man on the inside.
37:52Seems you'll have to do Cheeper's job in the castle.
37:58Think you can manage?
38:17A sword from this steel could kill a god.
38:23Who will make a blade from this worthy of your purpose.
38:28No.
38:29You're right.
38:30I don't deserve a sword.
38:32Not yet.
38:34This steel is for you.
38:37I must go to Edo and kill the man I am sworn to kill.
38:40If I succeed and I'm still alive, I will return.
38:43And you can determine if I am worthy of a sword of this metal.
38:47Made by your hand.
38:55Forgive me for leaving, Master Eiji.
38:57I know you were excited to be my teacher.
38:59Maybe for years.
39:02But Master needs me.
39:10Goodbye, Swordfather.
39:21Bye, Swordfather.
39:23Bye, Swordfather.
39:38Take your belongings.
39:40Your services are no longer required.
39:43Tell Lady Edo she can stop curating my meals and my company.
39:49But who will attend to you?
39:56The princess summoned us.
40:00This isn't a summons.
40:02It's a business proposition, Madam Kaji.
40:05I now have money of my own and would like to buy out your lady's contracts.
40:10All of them.
40:13Five times what each owes you.
40:15On what terms?
40:17No terms.
40:18Other than that each woman consider herself free and free to go.
40:24I don't have to become a prostitute?
40:27You don't owe us.
40:29I don't.
40:30But it seems I've decided what I want for my fucking self.
40:34Also, I find myself in need of new attendance.
40:37Good pay.
40:38New clothes.
40:39You'd have to live here, though.
40:43Here?
40:44In your palace?
40:46There is opportunity here.
40:48But I have much to learn.
40:50I need friends I can trust.
40:52Friends experienced in the world.
41:04This is like the best thing that's ever happened to me.
41:07Oh, my gosh.
41:08I cannot believe this.
41:13I meant it.
41:14If you don't want to stay...
41:17I was awful to you.
41:19And you offer me this?
41:23Please.
41:25Akemi, please.
41:26Listen to me.
41:27You have to leave.
41:29You're in terrible danger here.
41:34Father, I didn't know what to do but to come to you.
41:37Tell him what you told me.
41:39Go on.
41:40There's a plot against the Shogunate.
41:43A white man is planning to attack Edo Castle and kill Shogun Ito and his whole family.
41:49Everyone inside the castle walls.
41:51He has an army.
41:53Foreign guns.
41:54Accomplices within the court.
41:57Did he say when?
41:59The Lord's Assembly.
42:01You have to leave.
42:02Now.
42:07You may have saved us all.
42:09Including my daughter.
42:11Who else knows this?
42:14No one.
42:15I cannot thank you enough.
42:19Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:21Ah!
42:26Ah!
42:26Ah!
42:29I told you to trust me.
42:32You won't be married to some horrible man for long.
42:45You're a member of the Ito clan now.
42:47The people will rally around you when the Shogun and his sons are gone.
42:53Allowing their power to fall to me.
42:55Ah!
42:57Shared with my new partners.
42:59Many will die.
43:01Ah!
43:03You'll be safe here till it's over.
43:07Then, you can thank me.
43:13Ah!
43:20You're a DJ.
43:20I'm a fan of the
43:22you're a fan of the Ito game.
