1. I am daughter of
the late Lord Akechi Jinsai.
Copy !req
2. My father's lord was ruler
of Japan before the Taiko.
Copy !req
3. And my father killed him
out of love for the realm.
Copy !req
4. Get back!
Copy !req
5. Your husband's brutality
is no fault of yours.
Copy !req
6. We should not be seen together.
Copy !req
7. From this day forward,
the only words we share
Copy !req
8. will be from others' lips.
Copy !req
9. Anjin...
Copy !req
10. For your bravery,
Copy !req
11. he has decided
to grant you a fief
Copy !req
12. that will provide
an annual salary of 600 koku.
Copy !req
13. He has also made you
his chief admiral.
Copy !req
14. And general of
the cannon regiment.
Copy !req
15. Hai. Hai.
Copy !req
16. - Ho!
- Ho!
Copy !req
17. Eh?
Copy !req
18. Hmm.
Copy !req
19. Our Father, who art in heaven...
Copy !req
20. hallowed be thy name...
Copy !req
21. - Thy kingdom come.
Copy !req
22. Thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in heaven.
Copy !req
23. Give us this day
our daily bread.
Copy !req
24. - And forgive us our trespasses
Copy !req
25. as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Copy !req
26. And lead us not into temptation,
Copy !req
27. but deliver us from evil.
Copy !req
28. For thine is the kingdom.
Copy !req
29. The power and the glory,
forever and ever.
Copy !req
30. - Amen.
- Amen.
Copy !req
31. Please tell him I am sorry
about what happened to his army.
Copy !req
32. However, I must ask
why he lavished me
Copy !req
33. with the gift of his
cannon regiment last night.
Copy !req
34. He asks if you refuse them.
Copy !req
35. It's not a matter of refusing.
Copy !req
36. I've already explained this
to him before.
Copy !req
37. I am unable to serve him
in the way he wishes me to.
Copy !req
38. So I wish to leave.
Copy !req
39. He asks what service
you would rather be given.
Copy !req
40. If I were to remain
in the Japans,
Copy !req
41. I would formally ask, again,
for the return of my ship.
Copy !req
42. So that I may sail against
his enemies and mine:
Copy !req
43. the Portuguese.
Copy !req
44. As his chief admiral,
Copy !req
45. there are still ways
I can disrupt his enemies.
Copy !req
46. For example, I could attack
Copy !req
47. the Portuguese
Black Ship at sea.
Copy !req
48. Harming trade
to the ports controlled
Copy !req
49. by his Catholic rivals
on the Council.
Copy !req
50. I'm told their names
are Kiyama and Ohno.
Copy !req
51. Thus stifling the flow
of Portuguese Catholic wealth
Copy !req
52. and its accompanying power,
Copy !req
53. which will ultimately be
brandished against him...
Copy !req
54. and his country.
Copy !req
55. This is not in
our lord's interest.
Copy !req
56. I'm sorry, were you
going to translate?
Copy !req
57. He says that the Portuguese
are a friendly nation.
Copy !req
58. And he would never
attack their vessel.
Copy !req
59. Believe me, the Portuguese
are neither here
Copy !req
60. for the good of Japan
nor Toranaga-sama,
Copy !req
61. they're here to gain
in the name of their god.
Copy !req
62. Why do you cling to this?
Copy !req
63. Excuse me. I am reminded
Copy !req
64. an interpreter
should interpret only.
Copy !req
65. Well, as seeing as
you're my interpreter,
Copy !req
66. and nothing more,
Copy !req
67. I would politely ask you
to tell him
Copy !req
68. Portugal is friendly
only to their profits.
Copy !req
69. That is all for now.
Copy !req
70. Refused at the gates.
Copy !req
71. It's even worse than we thought.
Copy !req
72. What has happened, Eminence?
Copy !req
73. Osaka Castle has
been locked down.
Copy !req
74. Ishido claims there is a plot
to kill the Heir.
Copy !req
75. And he's ordered—
Copy !req
76. And he's ordered that no Regents
shall be allowed to leave
Copy !req
77. until they can elect
a fifth member
Copy !req
78. and sentence Toranaga to death.
Copy !req
79. This is her doing.
Copy !req
80. The Lady Ochiba?
Copy !req
81. This campaign
to eliminate Toranaga,
Copy !req
82. it has accelerated
since her return.
Copy !req
83. That woman has no such power.
Copy !req
84. I would not underestimate her,
Eminence.
Copy !req
85. Child of a murdered busho,
Copy !req
86. the only consort to give
the Taiko an heir.
Copy !req
87. And she despises the Church.
Copy !req
88. I think the time has come for us
Copy !req
89. to turn towards Toranaga
as an ally.
Copy !req
90. That man is a Minowara, Martin.
Copy !req
91. I've never understood
this hold he has on you.
Copy !req
92. Let us pray that we can
bring him to our side
Copy !req
93. when this is done.
Copy !req
94. This is a great honor
you have recei
Copy !req
95. Lady Kiku is the most
coveted courtesan in Izu.
Copy !req
96. It's not the honor so much
as being unable to understand
Copy !req
97. why in Christ's name
I'm receiving it.
Copy !req
98. Usually, wives like me
are not permitted
Copy !req
99. to go through the gate.
Copy !req
100. But in this case, a special
exception has been made.
Copy !req
101. Does Toranaga-sama know?
Copy !req
102. About...
Copy !req
103. There is nothing to know.
Copy !req
104. Gin's Tea House is famed
for its many wonders.
Copy !req
105. But we must be careful.
Copy !req
106. Our every gesture
is being observed.
Copy !req
107. What do I say?
Copy !req
108. It is fitting
to share your reaction.
Copy !req
109. Tell her she's beautiful.
Copy !req
110. Does feel like
we're being watched.
Copy !req
111. We must try our best to find
this as pleasurable as possible.
Copy !req
112. And how am I to find
this pleasurable?
Copy !req
113. - By not making a scene.
Copy !req
114. For both of our sakes.
Copy !req
115. Compliment the way
she poured your saké.
Copy !req
116. It is considered a rare art.
Copy !req
117. Courtesans like Kiku-dono
study it for years.
Copy !req
118. You pour very well.
Copy !req
119. She assumes it is different
from where you're from.
Copy !req
120. I'd say so.
Copy !req
121. Where I come from,
our prostitutes
Copy !req
122. are neither this well presented
nor as inquisitive.
Copy !req
123. Ah. Why not?
Copy !req
124. Another fine pour.
Copy !req
125. Kiku-dono teachers
her young apprentice
Copy !req
126. about empty space
and its symbols.
Copy !req
127. Mariko-sama...
Copy !req
128. She wishes to explain to you
the meaning of the Willow World.
Copy !req
129. Most come here to escape.
Copy !req
130. From boredom or pain.
Copy !req
131. Hardship or disappointment.
Copy !req
132. They believe this place
is about physical pleasure.
Copy !req
133. Which it is.
Copy !req
134. But it can be more.
Copy !req
135. The people she meets wish for a
different life or circumstance.
Copy !req
136. They want to be any place
other than where they are.
Copy !req
137. I offer you relief from this.
Copy !req
138. And safety...
Copy !req
139. to create one perfect moment
Copy !req
140. that you wish
to inhabit completely.
Copy !req
141. Settle your eyes
on what you desire.
Copy !req
142. My unclothed form.
Copy !req
143. Just as I am...
Copy !req
144. with nothing between us.
Copy !req
145. I ask you into my openness.
Copy !req
146. I ask you...
Copy !req
147. She invites you
away with her now.
Copy !req
148. Please tell Lady Kiku
Copy !req
149. I don't have the words
to thank her.
Copy !req
150. She is honored.
Copy !req
151. Hai. Hai.
Copy !req
152. Ho!
Copy !req
