11. During the Civil Wars,Copy !req
12. an endless cycle of conflict
left the countryside overrun by bandits.Copy !req
13. Peaceable folk lived in terror
of the thunder of approaching hooves...Copy !req
14. Take this village too?Copy !req
15. Take it! Take it!Copy !req
16. Not so fast!Copy !req
17. We just took their rice last fall.Copy !req
18. They'll have nothing now.Copy !req
19. Very well.Copy !req
20. We'll return
when that barley's ripe!Copy !req
21. Is there no god to protect us?Copy !req
22. Land tax, forced labor,
war, drought...Copy !req
23. and now bandits!Copy !req
24. The gods want us farmers dead!Copy !req
25. That's right!
We're better off dead!Copy !req
26. What's all this?
Crying won't change anything.Copy !req
27. The magistrate can do more
than collect taxes.Copy !req
28. We can ask him for help.Copy !req
29. We know all about him!Copy !req
30. He shows up after they're gone,
acting big while he surveys the damage.Copy !req
31. That's right. He's useless.Copy !req
32. We might as well hand over
our rice and barley to the banditsCopy !req
33. and just hang ourselves!Copy !req
34. That'll bring the magistrate
here in a hurry!Copy !req
35. We'll kill those bandits.Copy !req
36. We'll kill them all.Copy !req
37. Never again!
Let's kill 'em all!Copy !req
38. Not me!Copy !req
39. I couldn't possibly -Copy !req
40. That's crazy talk.Copy !req
41. So we can kill defeated samurai
but not bandits?Copy !req
42. Stop it! This is no time
to fight amongst ourselves.Copy !req
43. We don't have a chance against bandits.
And when we lose?Copy !req
44. They'll slaughter us all,
down to the last unborn child.Copy !req
45. I've had enough!
Better to risk it allCopy !req
46. than to live like this.
Kill or be killed!Copy !req
47. Rikichi!Copy !req
48. The farmer's only choice
is to endure.Copy !req
49. We can't defy the powerful.Copy !req
50. When the bandits arrive,
we'll greet them meeklyCopy !req
51. and quietly hand over
all our barley.Copy !req
52. We'll plead with them to leave
just enough for us to survive.Copy !req
53. “That's all we ask,”
we'll beg on our hands and knees.Copy !req
54. What bandit will agree to that?Copy !req
55. Have you forgotten how low we had
to stoop for the rice we're eating now?Copy !req
56. We should go see the Old Man.Copy !req
57. Let him decide what to do.Copy !req
58. Consider who
we're dealing with here.Copy !req
59. Give a wolf a taste of your leg
and he'll ask for your hand.Copy !req
60. Once they have a taste,
they'll be back in the fall.Copy !req
61. - Bu! what if we lose?
- Then we're no worse off!Copy !req
62. Without our barley,
we're doomed anyway!Copy !req
63. We fight.Copy !req
64. Old Man, that's madness.Copy !req
65. We're farmers.
What do we know of battle?Copy !req
66. We'll hire samurai.Copy !req
67. Whoever heard of farmers
hiring samurai?Copy !req
68. I saw it with my own eyes,Copy !req
69. when the village you were born in
was torched.Copy !req
70. I saw it when we escaped
to this village here.Copy !req
71. The only village that didn't burn
was the one that hired samurai.Copy !req
72. But Old Man, there are
different kinds of villages and villagers.Copy !req
73. How are we to feed samurai
when we live on rice gruel?Copy !req
74. We'll make do on millet!Copy !req
75. Show me a samurai who'll fight
for farmers in return for food!Copy !req
76. They're a proud lot.Copy !req
77. Look.Copy !req
78. Find hungry samurai.Copy !req
79. Even bears come down from
the mountains when they're hungry.Copy !req
80. How dare you?Copy !req
81. You're nothing but a farmer!
I'm still a samurai!Copy !req
82. I don't need your charity!Copy !req
83. Fool!Copy !req
84. What'd I tell you?Copy !req
85. Look, the barley's ripe.Copy !req
86. Ten days already
since we left the village.Copy !req
87. What do we do?Copy !req
88. This barley's early,
not like our mountain barley.Copy !req
89. Hey, we're soaked through
to the bone.Copy !req
90. Find any cheap, strong
and foolhardy samurai?Copy !req
91. Leftovers.Copy !req
92. You can have 'em cheap.Copy !req
93. That's a laugh!Copy !req
94. - What's so funny?
- He's blind.Copy !req
95. - What about you, then?
- Not me.Copy !req
96. I'd rather eat horseshit.Copy !req
97. - Won't get a nose bleed outta him.
- Cleaned him out gambling last night.Copy !req
98. Pulled his sword when he lost,
so the three of us beat him up.Copy !req
99. Not a drop left in his nose now.Copy !req
100. Don't bother.
They only eat millet.Copy !req
101. Is that true?
You can't live like that.Copy !req
102. Without nourishment
you'll go night-blind.Copy !req
103. I've got just four left.Copy !req
104. I'll trade 'em all
for a cup of rice.Copy !req
105. What do you say?Copy !req
106. Damn! What a bunch.Copy !req
107. What a waste.Copy !req
108. If we still had that rice,
we coulda bought 40 of those.Copy !req
109. Shut up!Copy !req
110. But it's true, right?Copy !req
111. The blackheads cracking up!Copy !req
112. What a show.
Go at it, boys.Copy !req
113. Who ever heard
of anything so unfair?Copy !req
114. We give him his fill of rice
and a free bottle of sake,Copy !req
115. and he thanks us
with a beating.Copy !req
116. Good for him!Copy !req
117. Not like this one
playing possum here.Copy !req
118. Say, let's go home.
Let's just go home.Copy !req
119. Look at him sobbing.Copy !req
120. Misses his wifey.Copy !req
121. I'd pay good money
to watch the two of 'em going at it.Copy !req
122. Let's hurry
and get back to the village.Copy !req
123. Go on home. You can't afford buns,
let alone samurai.Copy !req
124. Farmers like us know
good from bad when it comes to seed,Copy !req
125. but not when it comes
to samurai.Copy !req
126. Besides, we're no match
for the tough ones,Copy !req
127. and the only ones interested
are weaklings.Copy !req
128. If I lost last night,
it was only because I was starving.Copy !req
129. Liar! You had plenty
of money to gamble.Copy !req
130. Jerk!Copy !req
131. Wanna fight?Copy !req
132. It's a fight.Copy !req
133. Over here!
Wake up!Copy !req
134. Quit that strumming, monk!
It's depressing!Copy !req
135. Keep it up, grandpa.
We're on your side.Copy !req
136. Rikichi!Copy !req
137. Stop it, Manzo!Copy !req
138. You said we were going home,
you son of a bitch!Copy !req
139. I said we'd go home,
not bargain with bandits!Copy !req
140. If we can't hire samurai,
what's left?Copy !req
141. It's bargain or nothing!Copy !req
142. Fine, have it your way!Copy !req
143. But tell me:Copy !req
144. If we do strike a bargain,Copy !req
145. what have we got
to offer this year?Copy !req
146. Are you willing to give 'em
your daughter?Copy !req
147. Shino's a fine-lookin' girl.Copy !req
148. What's going on?Copy !req
149. There's a thief in that barn.
We raised a ruckus and he ran in to hide.Copy !req
150. How many thieves are there?Copy !req
151. Just one.Copy !req
152. One?Copy !req
153. All of you can't take
a single thief?Copy !req
154. We don't dare make a move.
He took a kid in there with him.Copy !req
155. Says he'll kill him
if we attack.Copy !req
156. Listen. Hear him?Copy !req
157. Poor thing.Copy !req
158. It all happened
in the middle of the night.Copy !req
159. Poor kid's been bawling
the better part of a day.Copy !req
160. He can barely
make a sound now.Copy !req
161. He's only seven.
Imagine how his parents feel.Copy !req
162. Who's that samurai
getting his head shaved?Copy !req
163. No idea. We asked him for help
and he agreed right away.Copy !req
164. Then he asked us
for two rice balls.Copy !req
165. He asked a monk to shave his head
and lend him his robes.Copy !req
166. No idea what he's up to.Copy !req
167. Stay back!
Any closer and I kill the brat!Copy !req
168. I'm a monk.Copy !req
169. Stay back!Copy !req
170. I'm just a monk.
I mean you no harm.Copy !req
171. I won't come in.Copy !req
172. I just thought the child
must be very hungry.Copy !req
173. I've brought some rice balls.Copy !req
174. You should eat one yourself.Copy !req
175. Won't you have one?Copy !req
176. What's wrong?Copy !req
177. Throw 'em here!Copy !req
178. Here.Copy !req
179. My baby!Copy !req
180. Even you can't object
to a samurai like that.Copy !req
181. Ask him quickly.
It'll be harder in town.Copy !req
182. What do you want?Copy !req
183. My name is Katsushiro Okamoto.
Please make me your disciple!Copy !req
184. Disciple?Copy !req
185. As you see, I'm a ronin.
The name is Kambei Shimada.Copy !req
186. I don't take on disciples.Copy !req
187. Get up.
I can't talk to you like this.Copy !req
188. I'm begging you -
let me be your disciple.Copy !req
189. First get off your knees.
We'll talk as we go.Copy !req
190. I'm at a loss.Copy !req
191. You think far too highly of me.Copy !req
192. No, sir -Copy !req
193. Just hear me out.Copy !req
194. There's nothing special
about me.Copy !req
195. I may have seen
my share of battle,Copy !req
196. but always on the losing side.Copy !req
197. That about sums me up.Copy !req
198. Better not to follow
such an unlucky man.Copy !req
199. No, I'm determined to follow you
whether you allow me to or not.Copy !req
200. I forbid it.Copy !req
201. I don't have the means
to travel with an attendant.Copy !req
202. Can I help you?Copy !req
203. What do you want?Copy !req
204. Insolence!Copy !req
205. Stay out of this, little chick.Copy !req
206. Are you a samurai?Copy !req
207. Damn right I am!Copy !req
208. I wonder.Copy !req
209. Bastard.Copy !req
210. Who was that?Copy !req
211. Leave him be.Copy !req
212. I beg of you, sir!Copy !req
213. You idiot.
Why don't you scram?Copy !req
214. Stubborn old fool.
They'll eat it and run like last time.Copy !req
215. It will never work.Copy !req
216. Sir, we could arm the villagers
with bamboo spears.Copy !req
217. - I thought of that.
- But, sir -Copy !req
218. This isn't a game.Copy !req
219. They may be bandits,
but they ride 40 strong.Copy !req
220. Two or three samurai
won't suffice.Copy !req
221. Defense is more difficult
than offense.Copy !req
222. You say there are mountains
behind the village?Copy !req
223. Yes.Copy !req
224. Passable by horse?Copy !req
225. Yes.Copy !req
226. Fields in front.Copy !req
227. Until those are flooded
with water,Copy !req
228. you're open to mounted attack
on four sides.Copy !req
229. You need at least four men,
one to guard each side.Copy !req
230. Two more to guard the rear.Copy !req
231. No matter how frugal
our estimate,Copy !req
232. we need seven,
including me.Copy !req
233. We can manage
seven somehow.Copy !req
234. But the Old Man said four.Copy !req
235. It's only three more.Copy !req
236. Hold on a second.Copy !req
237. I haven't accepted your offer.
I'm only speculating.Copy !req
238. First of all, it's not easy
to find trustworthy samurai.Copy !req
239. What's more,
all you have to offer is food.Copy !req
240. Only those out to fight
for the hell of it will agree.Copy !req
241. Besides, I'm sick of fighting.Copy !req
242. Age, I suppose.Copy !req
243. Good thing
I wasn't born a peasant.Copy !req
244. Better to be born a dog.
Goddamn it.Copy !req
245. Go ahead - hang yourself and die!
You're better off dead!Copy !req
246. Silence, you lout!Copy !req
247. What's it to you?
I'm only telling the truth.Copy !req
248. What truth? What the hell do you know
of these farmers' suffering?Copy !req
249. Don't make me laugh!Copy !req
250. Like you would know.Copy !req
251. How dare you?Copy !req
252. You heard right. If you know,
why don't you help them?Copy !req
253. So you wanna fight?Copy !req
254. That's enough.Copy !req
255. Enough!Copy !req
256. Hey, samurai, look at this.Copy !req
257. This here's your dinner.Copy !req
258. But what do you think
these blockheads eat?Copy !req
259. Millet.Copy !req
260. They eat millet
to feed you white rice.Copy !req
261. This is the best they can offer.
What do you say to that?Copy !req
262. - All right, then.
- What?Copy !req
263. Quit your jabbering.Copy !req
264. I won't let this rice go to waste.Copy !req
265. Manzo and the others are back!Copy !req
266. Where are Rikichi and Yohei?Copy !req
267. They stayed behind.
We still need more samurai.Copy !req
268. The samurai are coming?Copy !req
269. They sure are.
Seven of 'em.Copy !req
270. Seven?Copy !req
271. Seven.Copy !req
272. I was against it
because you said four, Old Man.Copy !req
273. I figured we'd need
at least ten.Copy !req
274. But if I'd said ten,
we'd have ended up with 15.Copy !req
275. That's the way it goes.Copy !req
276. Old Man, I'm worried.Copy !req
277. The village girls will go crazy
over the samurai.Copy !req
278. If the samurai touch 'em,
all hell will break loose.Copy !req
279. Bandits are coming, you fool.Copy !req
280. Your head is on the block,Copy !req
281. and all you think of
are your whiskers?Copy !req
282. Samurai, sir.Copy !req
283. - You require my services?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
284. Who's to be my opponent?Copy !req
285. Katsushiro.Copy !req
286. Hide just inside the door.Copy !req
287. Strike that ronin as he enters.Copy !req
288. Here he comes.Copy !req
289. Don't hold back.
Give him a real whack.Copy !req
290. Excellent!Copy !req
291. Please don't take offense.
I am Kambei Shimada.Copy !req
292. We're seeking expert swordsmen
and have no time to waste.Copy !req
293. Forgive me.Copy !req
294. What's this about?Copy !req
295. The reason better be good,
or I'll have to redeem my honor.Copy !req
296. I humbly beg your pardon.
We only sought to test your skill.Copy !req
297. We must soon contend
with a gang of bandits.Copy !req
298. I see.
And whose clan do you serve?Copy !req
299. It pains me to tell you,
but we're fighting for farmers.Copy !req
300. - Farmers?
- That's right.Copy !req
301. This job affords
no stipend and no reward.Copy !req
302. But we can eat our fill
as long as we fight.Copy !req
303. This is absurd!Copy !req
304. My ambitions
are greater than that.Copy !req
305. That's a shame.
Won't you reconsider?Copy !req
306. I will not.Copy !req
307. Sir, we lost a good man there.
Such a fine swordsman.Copy !req
308. What's wrong?Copy !req
309. That one samurai's good,
but how'll the other six be?Copy !req
310. Enough of your worrying.Copy !req
311. How can we know before they get here?
Don't worry till you've seen 'em.Copy !req
312. That one there.Copy !req
313. Excuse me, samurai, sir.Copy !req
314. Just like last time?Copy !req
315. Sure.
It's good practice for you.Copy !req
316. Surely you jest.Copy !req
317. No offense intended.Copy !req
318. I'm with you.Copy !req
319. But I have to sayCopy !req
320. that although I understand
the farmers' sufferingCopy !req
321. and understand
why you would take up their cause,Copy !req
322. it's your character
that I find most compelling.Copy !req
323. In life one finds friends
in the strangest places.Copy !req
324. - What is your name?
- Gorobei Katayama.Copy !req
325. A name fit for a giant, no?Copy !req
326. Yohei, what are you doing?
Hurry and wash the rice.Copy !req
327. Yohei!Copy !req
328. What's wrong?Copy !req
329. Someone stole the rice.Copy !req
330. You idiot!
Didn't I warn you?Copy !req
331. I was so careful.Copy !req
332. I slept the whole night
hugging that rice jar.Copy !req
333. Fine, then!
I'll get more from home!Copy !req
334. But what'll we doCopy !req
335. till you get back?Copy !req
336. There's only a handful left.Copy !req
337. Stop that, you idiot!Copy !req
338. Hide that money.
The master's returning.Copy !req
339. I ran into you
at just the right time.Copy !req
340. So you're still alive.
I figured you'd long since left this earth.Copy !req
341. Now tell me,
what happened after that?Copy !req
342. I hid among the grasses
in the moat until dark.Copy !req
343. When the outer walls tumbled down
on me in flames, I knew I was finished.Copy !req
344. What ran through your mind
at that moment?Copy !req
345. Nothing special.Copy !req
346. Sick of fighting yet?Copy !req
347. Truth is, there's a tough battle ahead
leading to neither money nor rank.Copy !req
348. Will you join us?
- Yes.Copy !req
349. This may be the one
that kills us.Copy !req
350. Where are they
when you need 'em?Copy !req
351. What do you need, sir?Copy !req
352. Samurai.Copy !req
353. There's a pretty poor excuse for one
in my backyard.Copy !req
354. I couldn't believe his gumption.Copy !req
355. He says,
“I'm hungry. Feed me.Copy !req
356. I'm broke, though,
so I'll pay you by chopping wood.”Copy !req
357. I like his frankness.Copy !req
358. Never seen a man
split wood before?Copy !req
359. Sure, but you do it
with such relish.Copy !req
360. It's just my nature.
Sorry if it bothers you.Copy !req
361. You're very good.Copy !req
362. It's nothing compared
to how I cut down men.Copy !req
363. - Have you cut down many?
- That I have.Copy !req
364. There's no cutting me off
when I start cutting.Copy !req
365. So I make it a point
to run away first.Copy !req
366. A most excellent approach.Copy !req
367. Why, thank you kindly.Copy !req
368. Tell me, do you feel like
cutting down 30 bandits?Copy !req
369. Let us commence!Copy !req
370. Too bad.Copy !req
371. It's a draw.Copy !req
372. I'm afraid not.Copy !req
373. I won.Copy !req
374. That's ridiculous!Copy !req
375. If these were steel,
you'd be dead now.Copy !req
376. - Then we fight with steel!
- Don't throw your life away.Copy !req
377. What?Copy !req
378. Don't you see?
With steel blades, you'd die.Copy !req
379. It's a waste of your life.Copy !req
380. Wait! Don't try to flee.Copy !req
381. Draw! This isn't
a contest of words!Copy !req
382. This is preposterous.Copy !req
383. There's no contest.Copy !req
384. How did you fare?Copy !req
385. We let a good fish get away.
An excellent swordsman.Copy !req
386. They say the fish that gets away
looks bigger than it really is.Copy !req
387. No.Copy !req
388. I watched him cut a man down
with my own eyes.Copy !req
389. It was amazing.Copy !req
390. A man obsessed only
with testing the limits of his skill.Copy !req
391. I doubt he'll join us.Copy !req
392. - That's a shame.
- Indeed.Copy !req
393. I did tell him
where we're staying, though.Copy !req
394. And how did you fare?Copy !req
395. - Caught one.
- I see.Copy !req
396. - As a swordsman, barely mediocre.
- Barely mediocre?Copy !req
397. But an honest, amusing man.Copy !req
398. Something about him
brightens one's spirits.Copy !req
399. He'll be a treasure in hard times.Copy !req
400. Much obliged.Copy !req
401. Actually, I did land one myself.
- The one dressed as a peddler?Copy !req
402. That's right.Copy !req
403. In fact, he's an old trusted friend.Copy !req
404. I'll bring some water.Copy !req
405. I'm Heihachi Hayashida.Copy !req
406. A modest warrior
of the Wood-Chop School.Copy !req
407. Just three more to go.Copy !req
408. Three? Don't you mean two?Copy !req
409. No, we can't afford
to take a child along.Copy !req
410. Master!Copy !req
411. I know, I know.Copy !req
412. I know what you'll say.Copy !req
413. I was once your age, you know.Copy !req
414. Hone your skills,Copy !req
415. then go to war
and do great things.Copy !req
416. Then become lord
of your own castle and domain.Copy !req
417. But as you dream those dreams,
before you know it,Copy !req
418. your hair will turn
as gray as mine.Copy !req
419. By that timeCopy !req
420. you've lost your parents
and you're all alone.Copy !req
421. Tomorrow you go home.Copy !req
422. You've learned a lot
these four or five days.Copy !req
423. You have
fine stories to tell.Copy !req
424. Please, sir.
I beg you to let him come along.Copy !req
425. Why not let him come?
You call him a kid, but -Copy !req
426. Actually,Copy !req
427. kids work harder than adults.Copy !req
428. But only if you treat them
like adults.Copy !req
429. Then let's treat him
like an adult.Copy !req
430. That means only two more.Copy !req
431. Actually just one, it seems.Copy !req
432. You wish to join us?Copy !req
433. I'm very grateful.Copy !req
434. - When do we depart?
- Tomorrow.Copy !req
435. Tomorrow?Copy !req
436. This is enough. We don't have time
to find the last one.Copy !req
437. All right, then.Copy !req
438. Master!Copy !req
439. Master!
- All right.Copy !req
440. - Master!
- All right! That's enough of that!Copy !req
441. Hey, I just found
a real tough samurai.Copy !req
442. There was a huge fight.
They were no match for him.Copy !req
443. Never seen anything like it.
He's like a wild dog.Copy !req
444. Someone stopped the fight.
They started drinking.Copy !req
445. I told him about you.Copy !req
446. He's on his way.Copy !req
447. Shall we give him the usual?Copy !req
448. What are you doing?Copy !req
449. Testing him.Copy !req
450. That's a dirty trick!Copy !req
451. Hey, samurai!
- Just shut up and watch.Copy !req
452. A true samurai won't get hit.Copy !req
453. But this guy's drunk!Copy !req
454. A samurai never drinks
enough to dull his wits.Copy !req
455. I told you!
You guys are nuts.Copy !req
456. What the -Copy !req
457. Who the hell hit me?Copy !req
458. YOU?Copy !req
459. Who hit me?Copy !req
460. YOU?Copy !req
461. Damn bastard!Copy !req
462. You again!Copy !req
463. I see that bald head of yours
in my dreams!Copy !req
464. Hey, you.Copy !req
465. How dare you even ask me
if I'm a samurai!Copy !req
466. You got some nerve!Copy !req
467. Don't mess with me.Copy !req
468. I may look like hell,
but I'm a real samurai!Copy !req
469. I've been looking for you
ever since that day.Copy !req
470. Wanted you to see this.Copy !req
471. Look at this!Copy !req
472. This is my family tree.
All my ancestors are here.Copy !req
473. Damn you, trying to make
a fool outta me. Screw you.Copy !req
474. Looky here.Copy !req
475. Making a fool outta me.Copy !req
476. My honorable self
is right here.Copy !req
477. So this Kikuchiyo here
would be you?Copy !req
478. That is correct.Copy !req
479. “Kikuchiyo,
born February 17, 1574.”Copy !req
480. What's so damned funny?Copy !req
481. You hardly look
13 years old to me.Copy !req
482. If you are in fact
the Kikuchiyo listed here,Copy !req
483. you'd now be precisely
13 years old.Copy !req
484. Where'd you steal
this family tree?Copy !req
485. Steal it? Shit!Copy !req
486. Damn jerks.Copy !req
487. To hell with samurai.Copy !req
488. To hell with samurai!Copy !req
489. Hey, you bastard!Copy !req
490. Come back here!Copy !req
491. Goddamn it,
you son of a bitch!Copy !req
492. What's wrong, teenager?
Here you are.Copy !req
493. Damn you!Copy !req
494. Come back here!Copy !req
495. What's wrong, Lord Kikuchiyo?Copy !req
496. What's the matter, junior?Copy !req
497. Screw samurai!Copy !req
498. - Is he really a samurai?
- In his own mind, anyway.Copy !req
499. Take me too!Copy !req
500. Hey, Kikuchiyo.Copy !req
501. Guard your treasure.Copy !req
502. Let me go too!Copy !req
503. What is it, Father?Copy !req
504. What is it?Copy !req
505. What are you staring at?Copy !req
506. Shino, cut off your hair.Copy !req
507. Cut your hair
and dress like a man.Copy !req
508. - What are you talking about?
- Just cut it off!Copy !req
509. It's only because I love you.
No telling what those samurai'll do!Copy !req
510. No!Copy !req
511. No, I won't!Copy !req
512. Shino!Copy !req
513. He's a fool.Copy !req
514. But Manzo knows those samurai
better than anyone.Copy !req
515. If he cut off his daughter's hair,
he must have good reason.Copy !req
516. You've only got sons,
so you're safe, but we -Copy !req
517. Goddamn it!
Now I understand.Copy !req
518. So you agree to hide my daughter
at your place across the bridge?Copy !req
519. Idiot! I meant that I see
what Manzo's up to.Copy !req
520. That rascal doesn't care about the village,
only about his daughter.Copy !req
521. Damn him!Copy !req
522. Look what you've done!Copy !req
523. Now the whole village is crazed.Copy !req
524. Every family
with a girl's gone mad.Copy !req
525. How do you plan
to set this right?Copy !req
526. The samurai will show up
any day now.Copy !req
527. Come on.
We're seeing the Old Man.Copy !req
528. There's nothing to see here!
Go home!Copy !req
529. Go home!Copy !req
530. We can't let the samurai
see us like this.Copy !req
531. He's still following us.Copy !req
532. Where did Kikuchiyo go?Copy !req
533. Think he gave up?Copy !req
534. It's funny.Copy !req
535. Now that he's gone,
it's almost a little...Copy !req
536. lonely.Copy !req
537. This way.Copy !req
538. Oh, hell!Copy !req
539. So that's our castle, eh?Copy !req
540. No way I'm gonna die
in that dungheap.Copy !req
541. No one asked you to.Copy !req
542. We're back!
The samurai have arrived!Copy !req
543. The samurai are here!Copy !req
544. What's wrong with you?
The samurai are here!Copy !req
545. Hey, what's wrong?Copy !req
546. What's the matter?Copy !req
547. This is a fine welcome.Copy !req
548. What's the meaning of this?Copy !req
549. Hey, what's going on?
The samurai have arrived!Copy !req
550. - We'll go see the Old Man.
- The Old Man?Copy !req
551. Whatever happens in the village,
the Old Man -Copy !req
552. He's the village elder?Copy !req
553. An audience with the village elder.
This is truly an honor.Copy !req
554. Well, let's go.Copy !req
555. I know they're being foolish.Copy !req
556. All farmers ever do is worry,Copy !req
557. whether the rain falls,
the sun shines, or the wind blows.Copy !req
558. In short,Copy !req
559. all they know is fear.Copy !req
560. Their behavior today...Copy !req
561. is also due simply to fear.Copy !req
562. But Old Man,
why do the villagers fear us?Copy !req
563. What can they expect from us
under such circumstances?Copy !req
564. Samurai, sirs!Copy !req
565. Samurai, please!Copy !req
566. Quiet down!Copy !req
567. Don't panic. Calm down.Copy !req
568. I want clear answers.Copy !req
569. Where are the bandits
coming from?Copy !req
570. - The mountains!
- No, the road!Copy !req
571. Who saw the bandits?
Come forward.Copy !req
572. No one saw any bandits?Copy !req
573. Then who sounded the alarm?Copy !req
574. I did!Copy !req
575. Outta the way.Copy !req
576. What's with the faces?Copy !req
577. Don't worry.
No bandits have come.Copy !req
578. Hey, blackheads.Copy !req
579. Remember how you welcomed us
when we got here?Copy !req
580. But as soon as I bang on this,Copy !req
581. “Samurai, sirs!
Samurai, please!”Copy !req
582. You're practically groveling!Copy !req
583. Got what you deserved,
you mud snails.Copy !req
584. Got a problem, gramps?Copy !req
585. Nope.Copy !req
586. All's well now.Copy !req
587. Looks like he's good
for something after all.Copy !req
588. There are seven of us at last.Copy !req
589. Sorry it's so dirty.Copy !req
590. But where will you sleep
if we take your home?Copy !req
591. - In the barn.
- With your horse?Copy !req
592. The bandits
got my horse last year.Copy !req
593. A barn's not so bad
with a wife to snuggle up to.Copy !req
594. I don't have a wife!Copy !req
595. What's the matter, you fool?Copy !req
596. Jerk.Copy !req
597. By the way,
what's your real name?Copy !req
598. I don't remember.Copy !req
599. Give me a new one that fits.Copy !req
600. Then Kikuchiyo it is.Copy !req
601. Fits you perfectly.Copy !req
602. How would you attack
this village?Copy !req
603. I'd charge from this mountain.Copy !req
604. I agree.
Along this road.Copy !req
605. And what's the best defense?Copy !req
606. Shichiroji knows what to do.Copy !req
607. See these logs?
He'll make a fence to block the horses.Copy !req
608. Indeed.
Your trusty right-hand man.Copy !req
609. All right!Copy !req
610. Listen.Copy !req
611. Nothing forces you to run
like a battle.Copy !req
612. You run when you attack,
you run when you retreat.Copy !req
613. When you can't run anymore,
you die.Copy !req
614. We'll flood these fields
after they harvest the barley.Copy !req
615. That'll make a good defense.
But will we have time?Copy !req
616. Indeed.Copy !req
617. Charge!Copy !req
618. Pretend I'm a bandit
and stab me.Copy !req
619. Charge!Copy !req
620. Come on!Copy !req
621. Next.Copy !req
622. Next.Copy !req
623. What's wrong with all of you?Copy !req
624. Destroying this bridge
will foil an assault from the east.Copy !req
625. But what about the houses
on the other side?Copy !req
626. They'll have to evacuate those.Copy !req
627. And the mill?Copy !req
628. The Old Man's
not going to go quietly.Copy !req
629. Listen now.
The enemy is scary.Copy !req
630. Everybody's scared.Copy !req
631. But the other side's
scared of us too.Copy !req
632. Just great.Copy !req
633. You all make great scarecrows.Copy !req
634. Problem is, the enemy
isn't a bunch of sparrows and crows!Copy !req
635. You there, chewing your cud.
Can you cut that out?Copy !req
636. This isn't a cow shed!Copy !req
637. Look at the bunch of you.Copy !req
638. Shit!Copy !req
639. First in line, step forward!Copy !req
640. I'm talking to you!Copy !req
641. You!Copy !req
642. Look here! You gotta pay
a mon each to watch the show!Copy !req
643. What's this?Copy !req
644. - A spear, sir.
- Idiot.Copy !req
645. Where the hell
did you get it?Copy !req
646. Did it sprout up in those hills?Copy !req
647. I know perfectly well.Copy !req
648. You hunted down retreating warriors
and took their weapons.Copy !req
649. If you've got one,
you must have more.Copy !req
650. Fess up, damn it!Copy !req
651. What a peaceful grove.
But it's also a death trap.Copy !req
652. Katsushiro.Copy !req
653. We're going.
- I'll be right there.Copy !req
654. As I said,
he's still a child.Copy !req
655. Are you from the village?Copy !req
656. Are you a girl?Copy !req
657. A boy?Copy !req
658. Then where's your spear?Copy !req
659. Is this any time for an able-bodied man
to be picking flowers?Copy !req
660. Come here!
I'll teach you.Copy !req
661. Come here!Copy !req
662. Why, you!Copy !req
663. This is fine, and this too.Copy !req
664. But this is a problem.Copy !req
665. Heave ho! Heave ho!Copy !req
666. Get back, the rest of you!Copy !req
667. Stand up straight!Copy !req
668. What a haul!Copy !req
669. What's all this?Copy !req
670. Plunder from defeated warriors.Copy !req
671. Where did you find it?Copy !req
672. Here in the village?
- Yep, over at Manzo's.Copy !req
673. What's the matter?Copy !req
674. Don't you like 'em?Copy !req
675. This is good stuff.Copy !req
676. What's wrong?Copy !req
677. You said you wanted armor,
spears and bows. Now you got 'em.Copy !req
678. Bastard!
You call yourself a samurai?Copy !req
679. Those farmers killed samurai
to get these.Copy !req
680. - I know that.
- Then why the hell -Copy !req
681. That's enough!Copy !req
682. You can't understand
unless you've been hunted.Copy !req
683. It's nothing.
Get outta here.Copy !req
684. Now I want to kill them all.Copy !req
685. Well, that's just fine and dandy!Copy !req
686. What did ya think
these farmers were anyway?Copy !req
687. Buddhas or something?Copy !req
688. Don't make me laugh!Copy !req
689. There's no creature on earth
as wily as a farmer!Copy !req
690. Ask 'em for rice, barley,
anything,Copy !req
691. and all they ever say is,
“We're all out.”Copy !req
692. But they've got it.
They've got everything.Copy !req
693. Dig under the floorboards.
If it's not there, try the barn.Copy !req
694. You'll find plenty.
Jars of rice, salt, beans, sake!Copy !req
695. Go up in the mountains.
They have hidden fields.Copy !req
696. They kowtow and lie,
playing innocent the whole time.Copy !req
697. You name it,
they'll cheat you on it!Copy !req
698. After a battle, they hunt down
the losers with their spears.Copy !req
699. Listen to me!Copy !req
700. Farmers are misers, weasels,Copy !req
701. and crybabies!Copy !req
702. They're mean, stupidCopy !req
703. murderers!Copy !req
704. Damn!
I could laugh till I cry!Copy !req
705. But tell me this:
Who turned them into such monsters?Copy !req
706. You did!
You samurai did!Copy !req
707. Damn you to hell!Copy !req
708. In war, you burn their villages,Copy !req
709. trample their fields,
steal their food,Copy !req
710. work them like slaves,
rape their women,Copy !req
711. and kill 'em if they resist.Copy !req
712. What do you expect 'em to do?Copy !req
713. What the hell are farmers
supposed to do?Copy !req
714. Damn it! Goddamn it!Copy !req
715. You were born a farmer,
weren't you?Copy !req
716. What is it now?Copy !req
717. Nothing at all.
Everything's fine.Copy !req
718. It's me.Copy !req
719. I'm sleeping here
from now on.Copy !req
720. Those guys cramp my style.Copy !req
721. Idiot! Stop cowering!Copy !req
722. This is your place!Copy !req
723. You hand over your house
and sleep in a barn,Copy !req
724. and still you can't stand up
for yourself.Copy !req
725. Get to sleep!Copy !req
726. Brings back memories.Copy !req
727. Sure is quiet.Copy !req
728. On a day like this, it's hard
to imagine bandits on that mountain.Copy !req
729. Damn it all,
I need a girl!Copy !req
730. - Where are you going?
- The hills.Copy !req
731. - The hills?
- To practice.Copy !req
732. No girls up there.Copy !req
733. Sometimes you really
hit the nail on the head.Copy !req
734. What are you making there?Copy !req
735. - A flag.
- A flag?Copy !req
736. It doesn't feel right in battle
without a banner to raise high.Copy !req
737. What do the symbols mean?Copy !req
738. This represents a field:
that is, the farmers and this village.Copy !req
739. - And those circles?
- Those are us.Copy !req
740. There's only six.
You leaving me out?Copy !req
741. No, this triangle's Lord Kikuchiyo.Copy !req
742. That's a good one!Copy !req
743. It's real rice.Copy !req
744. Go ahead. Eat.
- But -Copy !req
745. Rikichi gave me some millet.Copy !req
746. I could barely get it down.Copy !req
747. Go ahead. Eat.Copy !req
748. Hurry up and eat.Copy !req
749. If you're embarrassed, I'll go.Copy !req
750. I'm not going to eat it.Copy !req
751. Why not?
I went to a lot of trouble.Copy !req
752. No, I just -Copy !req
753. I know you did, so I'll take it
to Kyuemon's grandma.Copy !req
754. Kyuemon's grandma?Copy !req
755. Rikichi, I'm full.
I'll save the rest for later.Copy !req
756. Go ahead and eat.Copy !req
757. Take my leftovers this time.Copy !req
758. What's this?
What are you up to?Copy !req
759. What's going on?Copy !req
760. How terrible.Copy !req
761. Doesn't she have family?
- The bandits got them all.Copy !req
762. I...Copy !req
763. want to die quickly.Copy !req
764. I want to die soonCopy !req
765. and leave this suffering behind.Copy !req
766. But you know...Copy !req
767. the other world may beCopy !req
768. just as full of suffering
as this one.Copy !req
769. It's not.Copy !req
770. In that world
there's no war and no bandits.Copy !req
771. There's no suffering there,
grandma.Copy !req
772. How the hell would you know?
Have you been there?Copy !req
773. Why the hell
are you always screaming?Copy !req
774. I hate wimps.Copy !req
775. Worms like her make me sick!Copy !req
776. Pissing and grumbling
about everything.Copy !req
777. Shit!
I want to do something wild!Copy !req
778. Save your spit and fire
for the bandits.Copy !req
779. Excuse me.Copy !req
780. Excuse me, but why did you -Copy !req
781. You saw us today, didn't you?Copy !req
782. Me and the -Copy !req
783. - The girl?
- Yes.Copy !req
784. Why didn't you -
- Tell them? You want me to?Copy !req
785. We want rice!
White rice!Copy !req
786. You little brats!
There's no rice!Copy !req
787. Quit yapping!Copy !req
788. If you've got the strength
to scream, “We want rice!”Copy !req
789. then you don't need it!Copy !req
790. Listen here,
you little piss pants.Copy !req
791. This is all the rice there is.Copy !req
792. If we give you any more,
we'll get all -Copy !req
793. That's how it is.Copy !req
794. Say, any of you got
a pretty sister?Copy !req
795. How about you?
You got one?Copy !req
796. So, Old Man,
when is the harvest?Copy !req
797. In ten days.Copy !req
798. How quickly can you do it?Copy !req
799. No less than three days.Copy !req
800. We'll flood the fields
when you're done.Copy !req
801. You see, we want to create
a moat to the south of the village.Copy !req
802. It'll keep the horses out.Copy !req
803. We don't need all the fields.
One patch per family will do.Copy !req
804. Then...Copy !req
805. it'll take at least a day to flatten
the paths and draw the water.Copy !req
806. Understood.Copy !req
807. There's one other thing.Copy !req
808. You need to leave the houses this side
of the bridge, and the mill too.Copy !req
809. Father!Copy !req
810. You want us to move out?Copy !req
811. I know it's tough.Copy !req
812. But there's no choice.Copy !req
813. We can't possibly protect
the outlying houses.Copy !req
814. Listen carefully. You'll soon
begin harvesting the barley.Copy !req
815. The bandits will come
when you're done.Copy !req
816. We have to assume that.Copy !req
817. Therefore we prepare
for battle as we harvest.Copy !req
818. We'll harvest not as families
but as squads.Copy !req
819. Starting tomorrow,
each squad will live and work as one.Copy !req
820. Understood? Starting tomorrow,
nobody acts on his own.Copy !req
821. Hey, everybody.Copy !req
822. Give your wives
plenty of lovin' tonight, you hear?Copy !req
823. This is all a load of crap!Copy !req
824. Everyone from across the bridge,
follow me.Copy !req
825. Throw down your spears.Copy !req
826. Why should we abandon
our homes to protect theirs?Copy !req
827. That's right.
We'll protect our homes ourselves.Copy !req
828. Stop!Copy !req
829. Pick up your spears!Copy !req
830. Return to your line!Copy !req
831. Fall in!Copy !req
832. Squad formation!Copy !req
833. Where's Yohei gone?Copy !req
834. Where the hell's Yohei?Copy !req
835. There you are, you idiot!Copy !req
836. There are three outlying houses,Copy !req
837. but 20 in the village.Copy !req
838. We can't risk 20
to save three.Copy !req
839. And if this village is destroyed,Copy !req
840. those three cannot survive
on their own.Copy !req
841. Is that clear?
This is the nature of war:Copy !req
842. By protecting others,
you save yourself.Copy !req
843. If you only think of yourself,Copy !req
844. you'll only destroy yourself.Copy !req
845. From this day forward,
anyone caught doing that...Copy !req
846. Hot damn!Copy !req
847. Look at all those girls!Copy !req
848. Hey, Yohei!Copy !req
849. Where the hell
have you been hiding these girls?Copy !req
850. You devil.Copy !req
851. Hey, lend me your scythe.Copy !req
852. I'll cut three times your share.Copy !req
853. In return,
we get nice and friendly, eh?Copy !req
854. - Rikichi.
- Yes.Copy !req
855. It seems the married couples
are the most productive.Copy !req
856. Time you got yourself a wife.Copy !req
857. Why do you always get so mad?
I just said you should -Copy !req
858. Katsushiro, go after him.Copy !req
859. Running off at a time like this.Copy !req
860. Rikichi!Copy !req
861. Rikichi!Copy !req
862. Shino, what are you gawking at?Copy !req
863. What's this? A bear's den?Copy !req
864. This was done with a scythe.Copy !req
865. Was it Rikichi?Copy !req
866. Yes, though I didn't actually
see him do it.Copy !req
867. I lost him for a while,Copy !req
868. but then I spotted him
leaving this grove.Copy !req
869. He was furious,
soaked in sweat.Copy !req
870. What did you say to him?Copy !req
871. Nothing. Just that he should
hurry up and find a wife.Copy !req
872. Somethings upsetting the little bugger,
but he won't say what.Copy !req
873. You can see it
all over his face.Copy !req
874. Those lips of his
are bolted up tight as a house.Copy !req
875. Why don't you try to open them up?Copy !req
876. Who's there?Copy !req
877. It's me.Copy !req
878. All clear?
- Yes.Copy !req
879. Have a seat.
Let's have a little chat.Copy !req
880. I think talking...Copy !req
881. is a good thing.Copy !req
882. Whatever your burden may be,
talking can ease it.Copy !req
883. You, for example,
seem pretty tight-lipped,Copy !req
884. but if you're suffering,
you shouldn't bottle it up.Copy !req
885. Letting out your feelings
bit by bit can work wonders.Copy !req
886. I've got nothing to say.Copy !req
887. Time to head out.Copy !req
888. Shall we wake him?Copy !req
889. No, let the kid sleep.Copy !req
890. Shino.Copy !req
891. I swear he just said “Shino.”Copy !req
892. Sounds like a woman's name.Copy !req
893. Even kids can be charmers
in their dreams.Copy !req
894. Where shall we start our rounds?Copy !req
895. The place that worries us most,
of course.Copy !req
896. Who's there?Copy !req
897. Who's there?Copy !req
898. Come out here!Copy !req
899. Who's there?Copy !req
900. Kikuchiyo.Copy !req
901. You're lucky it was us.Copy !req
902. If we'd been bandits,
you'd be headless right now.Copy !req
903. Yohei.Copy !req
904. What's this?Copy !req
905. That's my horse, sir.Copy !req
906. I thought it was a big old mouse.Copy !req
907. The sparrows chirp, chirp, chirpCopy !req
908. The crows caw, caw, cawCopy !req
909. I wonder why
the bandits aren't coming.Copy !req
910. What a waste if they don't.
Think how much we feed those samurai.Copy !req
911. Idiot!
It's best if they don't come!Copy !req
912. A nag like that
can't carry your weight!Copy !req
913. Yohei's horse is too worn out.Copy !req
914. Please stop. Yohei'll be in tears
if you break its leg.Copy !req
915. A skilled horseman
can make even a nag soar into the sky.Copy !req
916. Not bad.Copy !req
917. Very fine indeed!Copy !req
918. They seem to be having fun.Copy !req
919. The threshing's done,
and still no bandits.Copy !req
920. Everyone's saying
they might not come after all.Copy !req
921. A tempting thought.Copy !req
922. But when you think you're safe
is precisely when you're most vulnerable.Copy !req
923. Send them back
to their posts.Copy !req
924. I wish I'd been born
into a samurai family.Copy !req
925. A farmer's life is too cruel.Copy !req
926. My life has been so easy,
I'm ashamed.Copy !req
927. That's not what I meant.Copy !req
928. It's because you're a samurai
and I'm a farmer.Copy !req
929. But I don't -Copy !req
930. it's all right. I don't mind.
We can't knowCopy !req
931. what the future holds!Copy !req
932. Coward!
Act like a samurai!Copy !req
933. Three suspicious characters
on the western road.Copy !req
934. - The villagers haven't noticed?
- Not yet.Copy !req
935. We can't have them
sounding the alarm.Copy !req
936. I saw three horses
up in the hills.Copy !req
937. I think they're bandits.
- We know.Copy !req
938. - So they're here.
- How did you know?Copy !req
939. How could I not?
This one here was in such a panic.Copy !req
940. Where are they coming from?
The mountains or the west?Copy !req
941. The west.Copy !req
942. Bandits!Copy !req
943. Send everyone to their houses.
There are only three of them.Copy !req
944. Tell them to keep quiet
no matter what.Copy !req
945. They're probably scouts.
We can't let them see any samurai.Copy !req
946. What is it?Copy !req
947. Bandits?Copy !req
948. Bandits, eh?
Where are they?Copy !req
949. Quiet!Copy !req
950. Where are they, Shichiroji?Copy !req
951. Beyond the fence.Copy !req
952. No doubt about it - they're scouts.Copy !req
953. The fence took them by surprise.Copy !req
954. They don't seem
to realize we're here.Copy !req
955. With luck they'll report
there are only farmers here.Copy !req
956. Hey, where is everyone?Copy !req
957. That idiot!Copy !req
958. Kikuchiyo!Copy !req
959. Hey, I hear the bandits are here.Copy !req
960. You fool.Copy !req
961. Too late.
They've seen us.Copy !req
962. If they report back that samurai
are here, we're finished.Copy !req
963. I'll kill them.
The mountain's my territory.Copy !req
964. I was just -Copy !req
965. Enough. You can make up for it
by getting one.Copy !req
966. Head them off at -Copy !req
967. I know, at their horses.
Take us there.Copy !req
968. Katsushiro!Copy !req
969. Just watch, you understand?Copy !req
970. Those are some horses!Copy !req
971. Wait in this hollow.Copy !req
972. - What do you plan to do?
- Who, me?Copy !req
973. Katsushiro.Copy !req
974. You can come out now.Copy !req
975. Help me!Copy !req
976. Back off!Copy !req
977. He's a captive who has confessed.
He's begging for his life.Copy !req
978. You can't just
chop him to pieces.Copy !req
979. Stay out of this!Copy !req
980. Let me do it! Scum!Copy !req
981. All right.Copy !req
982. Let her avenge her son's death.Copy !req
983. Someone help her!Copy !req
984. I'll do it!Copy !req
985. - That bandit said their fort -
- it's hardly a fort.Copy !req
986. It's full of holes,
like Yohei's underwear.Copy !req
987. - Easy to sneak in.
- Let's attack at night.Copy !req
988. They have 40 men.
We'd usually pick off a few first.Copy !req
989. Wait. We can't afford
to lose a single man,Copy !req
990. even if we kill five
for every one lost.Copy !req
991. - War is always a gamble.
- Three of us can take 10 of them.Copy !req
992. Rikichi.Copy !req
993. How far away is their hideout?Copy !req
994. At least a day.Copy !req
995. Hey, we've got
three of their horses.Copy !req
996. Half a day by horse.Copy !req
997. Very well. Let's do it.Copy !req
998. If we leave now,
we'll arrive before dawn.Copy !req
999. But who should go?Copy !req
1000. Not you.Copy !req
1001. And me makes three.Copy !req
1002. They need a guide!Copy !req
1003. There aren't enough horses.Copy !req
1004. There's Yohei's horse.
You ride that.Copy !req
1005. The only man
to master that steedCopy !req
1006. is Lord Kikuchiyo himself.Copy !req
1007. Whoa! What the hell?Copy !req
1008. It's the other way!Copy !req
1009. Stupid horse!Copy !req
1010. This way, you useless mule!Copy !req
1011. You call yourself a horse?Copy !req
1012. You should be
ashamed of yourself!Copy !req
1013. Hey, wait!Copy !req
1014. Please stop! I apologize!Copy !req
1015. I'm sorry!Copy !req
1016. Hey, let's set the place on fire!Copy !req
1017. Cut 'em down as they run out!Copy !req
1018. Serves you right!Copy !req
1019. We did it!Copy !req
1020. Take that, you sons of bitches!Copy !req
1021. Heihachi!Copy !req
1022. Are you crazy?Copy !req
1023. Stupid idiot!Copy !req
1024. Look what you've done!
Who is she to you?Copy !req
1025. She's my wife!Copy !req
1026. Heihachi, hang on!Copy !req
1027. You said...Copy !req
1028. he'd be a treasure
in hard times.Copy !req
1029. The hard times
have only just begun.Copy !req
1030. Stop crying!Copy !req
1031. Damn fool!Copy !req
1032. Stop crying!Copy !req
1033. Goddamn!
Here they come!Copy !req
1034. Take note:
They have three muskets.Copy !req
1035. Twenty riders bound north,
13 south.Copy !req
1036. - Muskets?
- Three in all.Copy !req
1037. Take the south, and watch out
for those muskets.Copy !req
1038. Retreat! Retreat!Copy !req
1039. - The 12 headed south have turned east.
- Wasn't that 13?Copy !req
1040. An arrow got one of them.Copy !req
1041. Good old Gorobei.Copy !req
1042. Make sure the eastern bridge is out,
and watch out for -Copy !req
1043. The muskets!Copy !req
1044. Take the north.
That's where we'll battle it out.Copy !req
1045. If you knew that, why didn't
you build a fence there too?Copy !req
1046. Every great castle
needs a breach.Copy !req
1047. Draw the enemy there and attack.
You can't win by defense alone.Copy !req
1048. Use your balls,
if you've got any!Copy !req
1049. Take it away, damn it!Copy !req
1050. Twelve riders are on the way.
Hurry with the bridge!Copy !req
1051. Are you blind?
What do you think we're doing?Copy !req
1052. And he said
to watch out for the muskets.Copy !req
1053. What kinda idiot
you take me for?Copy !req
1054. Where are you going?Copy !req
1055. We're looking for Father.
We can't find him anywhere.Copy !req
1056. Father intends to die in that barn.
That's what he's always wanted.Copy !req
1057. Stubborn old fool!Copy !req
1058. Hurry up and get him!Copy !req
1059. Get out of our way!Copy !req
1060. What are you doing?
Hurry up!Copy !req
1061. - On this mountain -
- Twenty riders.Copy !req
1062. And 12 to the east.Copy !req
1063. Right.Copy !req
1064. This won't do.
They're all scared stiff.Copy !req
1065. Good! Again!Copy !req
1066. Again!Copy !req
1067. Shichiroji's at it.
Let's fire ours up too.Copy !req
1068. Everybody out here!Copy !req
1069. Raise your spears
and give the battle cry.Copy !req
1070. Again!Copy !req
1071. Damn 'em, listen to that!
We can beat 'em!Copy !req
1072. Yohei, what's that look for?
Again!Copy !req
1073. Take cover!Copy !req
1074. Here they come!Copy !req
1075. Goddamn 'em!Copy !req
1076. Hey, where do you think
you're going?Copy !req
1077. Oh, no, you don't!Copy !req
1078. Don't panic!Copy !req
1079. Goddamn you!Copy !req
1080. They're burning!Copy !req
1081. Damn bastards!Copy !req
1082. Back to your posts, everyone!Copy !req
1083. Dear!Copy !req
1084. They're just rickety shacks!Copy !req
1085. Everybody, back to your posts!Copy !req
1086. Goddamn it!Copy !req
1087. YOU dogs!Copy !req
1088. That's the Old Man's house!Copy !req
1089. Where's the Old Man?
What about that couple?Copy !req
1090. And the little brat?
What the hell's going on?Copy !req
1091. Stop!
You can't abandon your post!Copy !req
1092. Kikuchiyo, come back!Copy !req
1093. Kikuchiyo!Copy !req
1094. Where's the Old Man
and your husband?Copy !req
1095. She's been speared.
How'd she make it this far?Copy !req
1096. Let's go!Copy !req
1097. Damn it, what is it now?Copy !req
1098. This baby... is me.Copy !req
1099. This is just
what happened to me!Copy !req
1100. Here we go!Copy !req
1101. What the hell?Copy !req
1102. What the hell
were you staring at?Copy !req
1103. Idiot!Copy !req
1104. No one wounded?Copy !req
1105. Good.
You did a fine job.Copy !req
1106. Fine job!Copy !req
1107. Gunpowder!
Take cover!Copy !req
1108. Manzo!Copy !req
1109. Where were you hit?Copy !req
1110. Shino! Shino!
Bring me my daughter.Copy !req
1111. Don't bother.Copy !req
1112. If this kills you,
you'd die of a fleabite.Copy !req
1113. You make a ruckus
over a little scratchCopy !req
1114. and blow your daughter's cover
in the process. Nice going!Copy !req
1115. You don't have
to chase them all down.Copy !req
1116. That's far enough.
Well done.Copy !req
1117. Who are you?Copy !req
1118. Rikichi.Copy !req
1119. They've attacked from the east,
west and southCopy !req
1120. and run away each time
with their tails between their legs.Copy !req
1121. This is the only approach left.Copy !req
1122. We don't know
if they'll come tonight,Copy !req
1123. but when they do,
they'll mass their forces here.Copy !req
1124. Perhaps, but...Copy !req
1125. I don't hear a thing.Copy !req
1126. Nevertheless,Copy !req
1127. this will surely
be the focus of their attack.Copy !req
1128. I'll prove it to you in a minute.Copy !req
1129. Good work.Copy !req
1130. Now poke that scarecrow out
from behind those trees.Copy !req
1131. I'd say tomorrow morningCopy !req
1132. they'll attack us here
with everything they've got.Copy !req
1133. And we'll let them in.Copy !req
1134. Don't worry.
I mean we'll let one in.Copy !req
1135. Two at most.Copy !req
1136. Once they're in,
we form a wall again with our spears.Copy !req
1137. The one or two who get in
are as good as dead.Copy !req
1138. We can cook 'em up
any way we want.Copy !req
1139. We'll pick them off patiently,
one by one, until the final showdown.Copy !req
1140. Those muskets worry me.Copy !req
1141. If only we could
get one of them.Copy !req
1142. I'll go.
I swear I'll get one!Copy !req
1143. No. You're looking to die.
I'll go.Copy !req
1144. Footsteps! Listen!Copy !req
1145. That's enough.
Get some rest.Copy !req
1146. It's true! I hear them!
Listen.Copy !req
1147. I said enough.Copy !req
1148. You're exhausted.
Get some rest.Copy !req
1149. I hear them.Copy !req
1150. Two more down.Copy !req
1151. What is it?Copy !req
1152. State your business.
I'm going to get some sleep.Copy !req
1153. You are a magnificent person.Copy !req
1154. I've wanted to tell you so
for some time.Copy !req
1155. They're here.Copy !req
1156. We'll let one in.Copy !req
1157. We're letting one in!Copy !req
1158. Remember, after the first one's in,
jump out with your spears.Copy !req
1159. Here they come.Copy !req
1160. Step aside!Copy !req
1161. Good work.Copy !req
1162. What's wrong? You did well.Copy !req
1163. Here he comes! Scatter!Copy !req
1164. Fall back! Fall back!Copy !req
1165. After them!Copy !req
1166. Another on the way!Copy !req
1167. Here he comes.Copy !req
1168. Watch this!Copy !req
1169. Having fun with your horsey?Copy !req
1170. They've stopped.
Won't fall for that trick again, eh?Copy !req
1171. They're all wimps!
Who's scared of bandits anyway?Copy !req
1172. That little skirmish just cost them four.
Kyuzo got two last night.Copy !req
1173. That man is a true samurai.Copy !req
1174. He's fearless,
his swordsmanship is amazing,Copy !req
1175. and yet he's kind too.Copy !req
1176. He never once boasted
about capturing that musket.Copy !req
1177. He walked into a forest filled with bandits
as if on a mushroom hunt.Copy !req
1178. Fascinating.
I'm not bored at all, I swear.Copy !req
1179. Hey, Yohei.Copy !req
1180. Take over for me.Copy !req
1181. What's that face for?Copy !req
1182. There's no danger here now.Copy !req
1183. You make a great scarecrow.Copy !req
1184. Hear me good!Copy !req
1185. If anybody else turns yellow -Copy !req
1186. Out Of my Way!Copy !req
1187. Hey!Copy !req
1188. How's it goin'?Copy !req
1189. Man, they're a pain.Copy !req
1190. Won't be long now.Copy !req
1191. Everything's upside down.Copy !req
1192. They burn us out,
and we starve like farmers.Copy !req
1193. Quit your moaning.
There are better times ahead.Copy !req
1194. Do your part, man.Copy !req
1195. Hey, it's me!Copy !req
1196. Serves you right, you dogs!Copy !req
1197. Fool!Copy !req
1198. Why did you leave your post?Copy !req
1199. Just look at this!Copy !req
1200. Don't scold me, man.
My post is fine.Copy !req
1201. There's nothing heroic
about selfishly grabbing for glory.Copy !req
1202. Listen to me:
War is not fought alone!Copy !req
1203. Gorobei and Kyuzo,
guard this post!Copy !req
1204. Let no one pass!Copy !req
1205. Stop, you asses!Copy !req
1206. Damn you!Copy !req
1207. Damn it! Two made it in!Copy !req
1208. Goddamn it!Copy !req
1209. Where's Yohei?Copy !req
1210. Yohei!Copy !req
1211. Yohei!Copy !req
1212. I defended my post.Copy !req
1213. Don't give up, Yohei!Copy !req
1214. Go ahead, shoot me!Copy !req
1215. Shichiroji, take over!Copy !req
1216. Gorobei!Copy !req
1217. Gorobei!Copy !req
1218. Just 13 left.Copy !req
1219. But these last seven...Copy !req
1220. came at a steep price.Copy !req
1221. How are you? Tired?Copy !req
1222. Poor man.
You've lost a lot of weight.Copy !req
1223. I'll go throw
some water on my face.Copy !req
1224. Next time they come,
we fight to the finish.Copy !req
1225. It's better we fight it out
before we're spent.Copy !req
1226. When do you think
they'll attack?Copy !req
1227. They're exhausted too,
and a few are wounded.Copy !req
1228. They won't come tonight.Copy !req
1229. But they have no food,
and their ranks are splitting.Copy !req
1230. They can't afford
to dawdle either.Copy !req
1231. I say they'll come at us like hell
tomorrow morning.Copy !req
1232. Katsushiro.Copy !req
1233. An order from above.Copy !req
1234. Place two on watch
and let the rest sleep.Copy !req
1235. The men may visit their families
one at a time.Copy !req
1236. So tomorrow's the showdown?Copy !req
1237. Yes.
Please carry out the order.Copy !req
1238. You all heard what he just said.Copy !req
1239. I'll stand guard.Copy !req
1240. The rest of you sleep.Copy !req
1241. Manzo...Copy !req
1242. you go home first.Copy !req
1243. Take a good look
at your daughter -Copy !req
1244. I mean, your son.Copy !req
1245. I told them.Copy !req
1246. All right. Get some rest.Copy !req
1247. Katsushiro.Copy !req
1248. How was Kikuchiyo?Copy !req
1249. Still beside the grave.Copy !req
1250. I see.Copy !req
1251. Are we all going
to die tomorrow?Copy !req
1252. There's no way to know.Copy !req
1253. But we might!Copy !req
1254. Shino.Copy !req
1255. Where's Shino?Copy !req
1256. Anyone seen Shino?Copy !req
1257. Sake, eh?
Where'd you find it?Copy !req
1258. I see. They have stockpiles,
just like Kikuchiyo said,Copy !req
1259. and tonight it all comes out.Copy !req
1260. I think I'll help myself.Copy !req
1261. Shino!Copy !req
1262. Here's some sake.
Drink up and get some sleep.Copy !req
1263. This is hardly like you.
You must rest for the battle tomorrow.Copy !req
1264. Shino!Copy !req
1265. You tramp!Copy !req
1266. You wench!Copy !req
1267. Stop this brutality!Copy !req
1268. What the hell's a farmer girl
doing with a samurai?Copy !req
1269. You slut!Copy !req
1270. Manzo.Copy !req
1271. Is this your daughter?Copy !req
1272. Tell me what happened.Copy !req
