1
00:00:02,205 --> 00:00:04,817
I am daughter of the
late Lord Akechi Jinsai.
2
00:00:04,841 --> 00:00:08,187
My father's lord was ruler
of Japan before the Taiko.
3
00:00:08,211 --> 00:00:10,456
And my father killed him
out of love for the realm.
4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,081
Get back!
5
00:00:12,682 --> 00:00:14,827
Your husband's brutality
is no fault of yours.
6
00:00:14,851 --> 00:00:16,862
We should not be seen together.
7
00:00:16,886 --> 00:00:19,031
From this day forward,
the only words we share
8
00:00:19,055 --> 00:00:20,333
will be from others' lips.
9
00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:15,204
Anjin...
10
00:07:33,322 --> 00:07:35,067
For your bravery,
11
00:07:35,091 --> 00:07:36,836
he has decided to
grant you a fief
12
00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:39,929
that will provide an
annual salary of 600 koku.
13
00:07:47,170 --> 00:07:49,815
He has also made you
his chief admiral.
14
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,508
And general of the
cannon regiment.
15
00:08:18,901 --> 00:08:21,480
Hai. Hai.
16
00:08:21,504 --> 00:08:25,541
- Ho!
- Ho!
17
00:09:16,592 --> 00:09:17,827
Eh?
18
00:09:21,864 --> 00:09:24,076
Hmm.
19
00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:05,951
Our Father, who art in heaven
20
00:10:05,975 --> 00:10:08,087
hallowed be thy name...
21
00:10:12,415 --> 00:10:15,127
Thy kingdom come.
22
00:10:15,151 --> 00:10:17,530
Thy will be done, on
Earth as it is in heaven.
23
00:10:17,554 --> 00:10:19,865
Give us this day
our daily bread.
24
00:10:19,889 --> 00:10:22,201
And forgive us our trespasses
25
00:10:22,225 --> 00:10:24,003
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.
26
00:10:24,027 --> 00:10:26,372
And lead us not into temptation,
27
00:10:26,396 --> 00:10:29,375
but deliver us from evil.
28
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:31,344
For thine is the kingdom.
29
00:10:31,368 --> 00:10:33,279
The power and the
glory, forever and ever.
30
00:10:33,303 --> 00:10:35,938
- Amen.
- Amen.
31
00:12:55,011 --> 00:12:58,481
Please tell him I am sorry
about what happened to his army.
32
00:13:04,287 --> 00:13:05,931
However, I must ask
why he lavished me
33
00:13:05,955 --> 00:13:07,923
with the gift of his
cannon regiment last night.
34
00:13:15,531 --> 00:13:17,109
He asks if you refuse them.
35
00:13:17,133 --> 00:13:18,511
It's not a matter of refusing.
36
00:13:18,535 --> 00:13:20,546
I've already explained
this to him before.
37
00:13:20,570 --> 00:13:24,350
I am unable to serve him
in the way he wishes me to.
38
00:13:24,374 --> 00:13:26,075
So I wish to leave.
39
00:13:38,054 --> 00:13:40,333
He asks what service you
would rather be given.
40
00:13:40,357 --> 00:13:44,403
If I were to remain
in the Japans,
41
00:13:44,427 --> 00:13:48,331
I would formally ask, again,
for the return of my ship.
42
00:13:50,933 --> 00:13:53,079
So that I may sail against
his enemies and mine:
43
00:13:53,103 --> 00:13:54,370
The Portuguese.
44
00:14:00,476 --> 00:14:02,121
As his chief admiral,
45
00:14:02,145 --> 00:14:04,957
there are still ways I
can disrupt his enemies.
46
00:14:04,981 --> 00:14:06,392
For example, I could attack
47
00:14:06,416 --> 00:14:08,394
the Portuguese
Black Ship at sea.
48
00:14:08,418 --> 00:14:10,196
Harming trade to
the ports controlled
49
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:12,231
by his Catholic
rivals on the Council.
50
00:14:12,255 --> 00:14:15,368
I'm told their names
are Kiyama and Ohno.
51
00:14:15,392 --> 00:14:18,371
Thus stifling the flow of
Portuguese Catholic wealth
52
00:14:18,395 --> 00:14:19,972
and its accompanying power,
53
00:14:19,996 --> 00:14:22,341
which will ultimately be
brandished against him,
54
00:14:22,365 --> 00:14:24,066
and his country.
55
00:14:26,002 --> 00:14:28,114
This is not in our
lord's interest.
56
00:14:28,138 --> 00:14:30,339
I'm sorry, were you
going to translate?
57
00:14:49,425 --> 00:14:51,804
He says that the Portuguese
are a friendly nation.
58
00:14:51,828 --> 00:14:54,140
And he would never
attack their vessel.
59
00:14:54,164 --> 00:14:55,508
Believe me, the Portuguese
are neither here
60
00:14:55,532 --> 00:14:57,143
for the good of Japan
nor Toranaga-sama,
61
00:14:57,167 --> 00:14:58,978
they're here to gain in
the name of their god.
62
00:14:59,002 --> 00:15:00,269
Why do you cling to this?
63
00:15:07,410 --> 00:15:09,989
Excuse me. I am reminded
64
00:15:10,013 --> 00:15:12,158
an interpreter should
interpret only.
65
00:15:12,182 --> 00:15:14,293
Well, as seeing as
you're my interpreter,
66
00:15:14,317 --> 00:15:15,928
and nothing more,
67
00:15:15,952 --> 00:15:18,097
I would politely
ask you to tell him
68
00:15:18,121 --> 00:15:20,823
Portugal is friendly
only to their profits.
69
00:15:30,867 --> 00:15:33,069
That is all for now.
70
00:18:02,318 --> 00:18:04,830
Refused at the gates.
71
00:18:04,854 --> 00:18:06,999
It's even worse than we thought.
72
00:18:07,023 --> 00:18:08,834
What has happened, Eminence?
73
00:18:08,858 --> 00:18:10,269
Osaka Castle has
been locked down.
74
00:18:10,293 --> 00:18:13,839
Ishido claims there is
a plot to kill the Heir.
75
00:18:13,863 --> 00:18:15,364
And he's ordered...
76
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:19,945
And he's ordered that no Regents
shall be allowed to leave
77
00:18:19,969 --> 00:18:21,547
until they can
elect a fifth member
78
00:18:21,571 --> 00:18:24,850
and sentence Toranaga to death.
79
00:18:24,874 --> 00:18:26,352
This is her doing.
80
00:18:26,376 --> 00:18:28,888
The Lady Ochiba?
81
00:18:28,912 --> 00:18:31,090
This campaign to
eliminate Toranaga,
82
00:18:31,114 --> 00:18:33,826
it has accelerated
since her return.
83
00:18:33,850 --> 00:18:36,862
That woman has no such power.
84
00:18:36,886 --> 00:18:39,532
I would not underestimate
her, Eminence.
85
00:18:39,556 --> 00:18:41,934
Child of a murdered bus ho,
86
00:18:41,958 --> 00:18:44,870
the only consort to
give the Taiko an heir.
87
00:18:44,894 --> 00:18:47,206
And she despises the Church.
88
00:18:47,230 --> 00:18:49,408
I think the time has come for us
89
00:18:49,432 --> 00:18:52,378
to turn towards
Toranaga as an ally.
90
00:18:52,402 --> 00:18:55,548
That man is a Minowara, Martin.
91
00:18:55,572 --> 00:18:59,218
I've never understood
this hold he has on you.
92
00:18:59,242 --> 00:19:02,254
Let us pray that we can
bring him to our side
93
00:19:02,278 --> 00:19:04,246
when this is done.
94
00:34:30,139 --> 00:34:31,784
This is a great
honor you have recei.
95
00:34:31,808 --> 00:34:34,120
Lady Kiku is the most
coveted courtesan in Izu.
96
00:34:34,144 --> 00:34:37,390
It's not the honor so much
as being unable to understand
97
00:34:37,414 --> 00:34:40,159
why in Christ's name
I'm receiving it.
98
00:34:40,183 --> 00:34:41,927
Usually, wives like
me are not permitted
99
00:34:41,951 --> 00:34:43,429
to go through the gate.
100
00:34:43,453 --> 00:34:46,422
But in this case, a special
exception has been made.
101
00:34:49,258 --> 00:34:51,304
Does Toranaga-sama know?
102
00:34:51,328 --> 00:34:52,428
About...
103
00:34:53,830 --> 00:34:55,765
There is nothing to know.
104
00:35:11,147 --> 00:35:13,926
Gin's Tea House is famed
for its many wonders.
105
00:35:13,950 --> 00:35:15,761
But we must be careful.
106
00:35:15,785 --> 00:35:18,998
Our every gesture
is being observed.
107
00:36:11,107 --> 00:36:12,818
What do I say?
108
00:36:12,842 --> 00:36:15,488
It is fitting to
share your reaction.
109
00:36:15,512 --> 00:36:17,256
Tell her she's beautiful.
110
00:36:54,517 --> 00:36:56,429
Does feel like
we're being watched.
111
00:36:56,453 --> 00:36:59,999
We must try our best to find
this as pleasurable as possible.
112
00:37:00,023 --> 00:37:02,868
And how am I to find
this pleasurable?
113
00:37:02,892 --> 00:37:05,237
By not making a scene.
114
00:37:05,261 --> 00:37:07,396
For both of our sakes.
115
00:37:27,817 --> 00:37:30,196
Compliment the way
she poured your saké.
116
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:32,164
It is considered a rare art.
117
00:37:32,188 --> 00:37:35,191
Courtesans like Kiku-dono
study it for years.
118
00:37:38,061 --> 00:37:39,762
You pour very well.
119
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:53,219
She assumes it is different
from where you're from.
120
00:37:53,243 --> 00:37:55,521
I'd say so.
121
00:37:55,545 --> 00:37:58,190
Where I come from,
our prostitutes
122
00:37:58,214 --> 00:38:01,117
are neither this well
presented nor as inquisitive.
123
00:38:09,225 --> 00:38:11,394
Ah. Why not?
124
00:38:14,497 --> 00:38:16,399
Another fine pour.
125
00:38:44,327 --> 00:38:46,238
Kiku-dono teachers
her young apprentice
126
00:38:46,262 --> 00:38:50,066
about empty space
and its symbols.
127
00:38:58,875 --> 00:39:01,110
Mariko-sama...
128
00:39:34,544 --> 00:39:38,114
She wishes to explain to you
the meaning of the Willow World.
129
00:40:06,476 --> 00:40:08,454
Most come here to escape.
130
00:40:08,478 --> 00:40:11,957
From boredom or pain.
131
00:40:11,981 --> 00:40:14,116
Hardship or disappointment.
132
00:40:18,588 --> 00:40:22,201
They believe this place is
about physical pleasure.
133
00:40:22,225 --> 00:40:25,071
Which it is.
134
00:40:25,095 --> 00:40:27,096
But it can be more.
135
00:40:30,366 --> 00:40:33,980
The people she meets wish for a
different life or circumstance.
136
00:40:34,004 --> 00:40:38,007
They want to be any place
other than where they are.
137
00:40:45,181 --> 00:40:48,928
I offer you relief from this.
138
00:40:48,952 --> 00:40:51,197
And safety
139
00:40:51,221 --> 00:40:54,033
to create one perfect moment
140
00:40:54,057 --> 00:40:56,225
that you wish to
inhabit completely.
141
00:41:01,030 --> 00:41:04,844
Settle your eyes
on what you desire.
142
00:41:04,868 --> 00:41:07,303
My unclothed form.
143
00:41:08,371 --> 00:41:10,916
Just as I am
144
00:41:10,940 --> 00:41:13,209
with nothing between us.
145
00:41:16,913 --> 00:41:19,792
I ask you into my openness.
146
00:41:19,816 --> 00:41:21,083
I ask you...
147
00:41:46,576 --> 00:41:49,779
She invites you
away with her now.
148
00:43:29,011 --> 00:43:30,256
Please tell Lady Kiku
149
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,782
I don't have the
words to thank her.
150
00:43:42,959 --> 00:43:45,461
She is honored.
151
00:54:31,507 --> 00:54:34,487
Hai. Hai.
152
00:54:34,511 --> 00:54:37,980
Ho!
153
00:56:25,855 --> 00:56:31,855
