Uh, it was just a dance, Mariko-san. A sailor's dance.
My master says he would like to see your dance.

Sparkling flowers for her flaxen hair

But stay by her side at the shore
Fare-thee-well Oh, you Barbary merchants
Fare-thee-well To the Spanish blockade

Fare-thee-well Oh, you Barbary merchants
Fare-thee-well To the Spanish blockade
Fare-thee-well To the Straits of Gibraltar

But a cottage is too small for a sailor
Without the blue sea and the sky
Though I swore that I'd never Set sail in foul weather
I left her behind at the shore
Take me back Oh, you Barbary merchants
Let me risk the Spanish blockade
Carry me to the Straits of Gibraltar

MARIKO: My master says
that he would be pleased for you to accept this as a gift.
Arigato gozaimashita, Toranaga-sama.
Lord Toranaga has enjoyed your dance.
Maybe one day he will show you a dance of his.
[TORANAGA SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
[RAKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]
My master says that you will leave at dusk.
- Dusk? - ls that not a correct expression?
Yes, but you told me I'd be, uh, leaving in a few days.
Yes, but now he has said that you will leave this evening.
He is sending the Lady Kiri-sama to Yedo to prepare for his return.
You will go with her.
Is it possible, uh...?
- Will I see Lord Toranaga before I go? - I do not know.
I wanted to ask him, to request,
if it would be possible to release Friar Domingo.
He's the monk I met in prison.
My master sent for the man yesterday after you mentioned him,
but I am sorry, the man was already dead.
How?
My master told me that he died when his name was called out.
Poor man.
Lord Toranaga will tell you that life and death are the same.
And is that what you believe as well?
You have seen what I believe.

Rako-san says your dance was very excellent.
She'd like to ask a question.

Rako-san asks if your women are the same as us in body.
I assume so.
[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
[GIRLS GIGGLE]
Asa-san asks, in pillowing, how do you compare your women with ours?
Pillowing? I don't understand.
Pillowing is our way of referring
to the physical joining of man and woman.
I have nothing to base the comparison on.
MARIKO: You haven't pillowed since you have been here?
No.
You must be feeling very constricted, neh?
One of these ladies would be delighted to pillow with you.
Or all of them, if you wish.
All?
Certainly. But if you don't want them, there is no need to worry.
They would not be offended.
Tell me the sort of lady you would like, we shall make all the arrangements.
Uh, thank you, but, um, uh...
Perhaps later.
Are you sure?
Excuse me, but my master has given specific instructions
that your health is to be protected and improved.
How can you be healthy without pillowing?
It is very important for a man. Yes?
Thank you, uh, but I, uh...
Not now. Hmm?
Or maybe you would prefer a boy?
- A boy? MARIKO: Only if you wish it.
I do not wish it.
Do I look like a God-cursed sodomite?
Please forgive me. I have made a terrible mistake.
I was only trying to please,
but I have never known an Englishman before,
so I have no way of knowing your...
Your intimate customs.
Well, lady, my intimate customs do not include boys.
Please forgive me for offending you.
It was entirely my fault, due to my stupidity and ignorance.
NARRATOR". Since Blackthorne had told Lord Toranaga
that his rutters, the ship's log detailing her long voyage, had been stolen,
Father Alvito knew
that the continued possession of these papers could be dangerous.
[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
There would be disadvantages in giving up the documents to Toranaga,
not the least of which was explaining how Father Sebastio in Anjiro
had removed them from the Englishman's ship.
[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
Pilot-Major Blackthorne?
I didn't know that you were here.
Where did you think I was? Still in that foul prison?
- You are becoming quite Japanese. - I'm learning.
No. I doubt you will ever learn enough to understand these people.
Do you?
I have lived here since I was a boy.
Does that surprise you?
Yes, I was ordained here as well.
Their language is as natural to me as my own...
...and still they are a mystery.
- I'm pleased to hear it. - Why?
It will not help you to be my enemy, pilot-major.
- That is a fight you surely will lose. - I choose my fights carefully.
But when I do fight, I win.
Then let me tell you something, Englishman.
You will not choose your next fight.
War is coming to this country.
The empire is divided into two camps: Toranaga's and lshido's.
If you think that kimono will keep you safe,
you are sadly mistaken.
Whose side are you on, priest?
On the side of peace.
Always on the side of peace.
Listen to me.
If you can persuade Toranaga to return your ship, leave before it's too late.
Leave as quickly as you can.
You mean leave before the Black Ship arrives, don't you?
- Who spoke to you of the Black Ship? - Who sends hired assassins at night?
You will burn in hell for all eternity, heretic.
You will burn in hell.
That I promise you.
BLACKTHORNE: ls Lord Toranaga coming with us?
MARIKO: No. He cannot leave without Lord lshido's permission.
You will be safer in Yedo.
- When will Lord Toranaga come? - I do not know.
Whenever he can.
- How do we get to Yedo? - On the galley.
And then what will happen to me?
That is for Lord Toranaga to decide.
Now we will be leaving.

Lord lshido has a message for his niece in Yedo.
He asks if Lady Kiri-sama will take it.
Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha...
It's bad luck in my country for a prince to give a message like a commoner.
You cannot touch a prince. Very bad luck! The worst luck there is.

Our people are coming. You can stop dancing now.
MARIKO: You are a brave man, Anjin-san.
I thank you for saving him.
Why didn't Lord Toranaga leave the castle openly? Why the masquerade?
No one leaves Osaka Castle without Lord lshido's permission.
Not even my master.
- Did you know he was there? - No, not until you told me.
- But you saw earlier. - Yes.
And I saw what you did,
putting yourself between lshido's arrow and my back.
- Your bravery is greater than mine. - No, please. You must not say that.
That is the truth. How do you say "truth" in Japanese?
[MARIKO SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]
Then it is honto that you are braver than I.
You are brave and you are beautiful.
You have a honeyed tongue.
That you are beautiful is honto as well.
MARIKO: Here it is not wise to notice another man's woman.
Our customs are very strong.
For example, if a married woman is found alone with a man,
by law her husband or his brother or his father
has a right to put her to death.
That's not even civilized.
We find ourselves quite civilized, Anjin-san.
You must remember our culture is a thousand years old.
We are ancient people.
Our emperor is the 107th of his unbroken line,
right back to the celestial spirits.
If you believe that, how can you also say you're a Catholic?
I am only a ten-year Christian,
and though I believe in the Christian God with all my soul,
our emperor is without question.
Yes, I am a Christian,
but first I am Japanese.

NARRATOR". In Osaka Castle at the appointed hour,
General Hiromatsu followed Lord Toranaga's instructions.
He requested an immediate interview with Lord lshido.
[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
"What could be so urgent?"
demanded the master of Osaka Castle.
Lord Toranaga's letter
was his resignation from the Council of Regents.
BLACKTHORNE: How can we reach the galley?
MARIKO: Lord Toranaga will find a way.
BLACKTHORNE: The odds are not exactly in our favor.
MARIKO: He has asked me to explain to you what he has done.
My master has resigned from the Council of Regents.
Now there are only four of them,
and five are needed to make any decision.
- Ishido will appoint another one. - No, he cannot.
The four will have to agree, and they will argue.
- Sooner or later they'll decide. - By then my master will be safe.
Mariko.

Lord Toranaga says you and I will go to the galley

Any closer and I will blow her out of the water.
- No. - We risk nothing and gain everything.
We pretend we didn't know Toranaga was aboard.
We thought the bandits, led by the heretic, were going to attack us.
The galley is flying Toranaga's flag.
False colors. That's the oldest trick in the world.
With Toranaga dead, that would make things simple for us. Hmm?
We will not interfere in their politics.
MAN: But you interfere all the time.
The Society of Jesus is famous for interfering.
Don't talk to me as if I'm some thick-headed peasant.
While I'm aboard, you will not sink that ship.

Cannon would be best, but there aren't any and this ship couldn't hold them.
You could put 2O men with muskets on the bow and simply blast through.

Aye, sir, she's an easy target.

Lord Toranaga must bring some. It's a matter of face. Settle on five.
Five. But tell the heretic he must come as well.

For my amusement.

Five guards only, inglés.
But you come too.

There's a fine roast capon with greens and gravy.

Lord Toranaga says Lord lshido is trying to kill him.
So are many other lords.
They have done so in the past and they will do so in the future.
He says if he is killed, it will simplify things for the moment.
He is in lshido's trap now.
If the trap is successful, it will produce a temporary advantage.
If Lord Toranaga escapes, then there never was a trap.
Enough,enough,enough. Ask him what he wants.
Lord Toranaga said he was considering asking you
to build a large temple, a cathedral in Yedo,
as a measure of his confidence in our interests.
I thank you, Lord Toranaga.
I have yearned for many years to hear that news.
We will always endeavor to assist you.
[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
He says since there are pirates at the mouth of the harbor--
Pirates? Hell.
He requires 20 muskets and enough shot to deal with it.
You're always selling arms. This should be no problem.
Not for you. You've made your deal. What's he offering me?
Please, captain, you must help us. Please.
I beg you on behalf of the Church.
Since you ask help in the Church's name, of course I will do what you ask.
But in return, I want the captain-generalship
of next year's Black Ship,
whether this year is successful or not.
You dare ransom me and the Church?
This is merely a business arrangement between you, me and this monkey.
He is no monkey. Remember that.

Now that he had diminished Yabu, he would raise him up again.

You expressed an interest in learning our language.
That is what my master wishes you to do.
But why here? Why not in Yedo?
I'm sorry, Anjin-san, but I do not know.

He said that you are also Lord Toranaga's very honored retainer.

This whole village has the honor and responsibility of teaching you.

The village is responsible, Anjin-san.
If you have not learned to speak our language
well enough within six months,
the village will be burned.
But before that,
every man, woman and child will be crucified.
- Crucified? - Those are Lord Yabu's orders.
And there is nothing anyone can do to stop him.
There must be some way.

I'm honored to tell you

What?
Lord Toranaga asked her if she would be your consort,
and she said she would be honored and she has agreed.
- But I haven't agreed. - But, Anjin-san, you cannot refuse.
The Lady Fujiko would be considered a great honor.
She is recently widowed.
She is only 19,
but she has lost her husband and her son and is filled with remorse.
BLACKTHORNE: What happened to her husband and son?
They were put to death.
Her husband foolishly put Lord Toranaga's life in danger.
Lord Toranaga had an infant put to death
for something the father did?
Yes. Our customs are different from yours.
You see, by law, we belong to our liege lord.
By law, a father possesses the lives of his wife, children and consorts.
Your husband could put you to death?
Yes, that is his right.
If you accept the Lady Fujiko,
she will look after your house and servants.
Or, if you prefer, simply ignore her.
Think of her as nothing, but allow her to stay.
Accept her and then, if she offends you,
you will have the right to kill her.
That's the only answer you have, isn't it? Kill?
No, Anjin-san.
But life and death are the same.
Who knows?
Maybe you will do Fujiko-san a greater service by taking her life.
So I'm trapped again.
If I don't accept her, she will die.
If I don't learn your language, a whole village will be butchered.
If I don't do whatever you want,
some innocent will always be killed.
There's no way out, is there?
Anjin-san...
...forget the village.
A million things can happen before those six months are up.
You must leave karma to karma.
Today you are here, and nothing you can do will change that.
Tomorrow does not exist.
There is only now.
There is only this moment.
Nothing else.
Nothing.
[OMI SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
Omi-san has been ordered to escort you to Lord Yabu's house.

Please, Anjin-san. This is very dangerous.
You must see Lord Yabu, and you may not take your pistol.
Tell him I'll blow his head off if he comes any nearer.

You can leave the pistol here or give it to Fujiko-san.
What could she do? He'll just take it from her.
Listen to me.
Fujiko-san is your consort.
If you order it, she will protect the pistol with her life.
I'm sorry, Anjin-san, but you must do something.
I want you to say this to Fujiko-san exactly.
"Fm going to give you my pistol.
You are to guard it. No one but me is to touch it."
[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]
Shall we go?
- What did he say? - He will report this to Lord Yabu.

Lord Yabu says they are going to impeach Lord Toranaga in 20 days.
Lord Toranaga was wrong. They did agree on someone.
I have told you, Anjin-san, Lord Toranaga is very wise.
He is seldom wrong.
But if this time he is wrong, what will happen?
Tomorrow does not exist.
Twenty tomorrows is a long time.
[YABU SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]
Lord Yabu asks if you have ever been part of any battles on land.
Yes, in Holland and once in France.
As a favor, he would like to know European strategy.
He would like to know how battles are fought in your country.
I would be happy to grant Lord Yabu's favor.
Even more.
If he wishes, I will train his men to fight.
To fight so that they are unbeatable.

But in return I would also ask a favor.
I would ask Lord Yabu as a humble favor
to rescind his decree about the village.
Lord Yabu says the village is unimportant.
The villagers are nothing for you to be concerned about.
Please apologize to Lord Yabu,
but I must ask him to rescind the decree tonight.
He just said no, Anjin-san. It would not be polite.
Yes, I understand.
But please ask him again. It is very important to me.
Please, Mariko-san.

He says the village means nothing, but his decree cannot be changed.
Thank you.
Yes, I understand.
Please thank Yabu-san, but tell him that I cannot live with this shame.
What?
I cannot live with the shame
of having the village on my conscience.
I am dishonored.
This is more than I can bear. It is against my Christian beliefs.
I will have to commit suicide at once.
Suicide?
[SPEAKS IN JAPAN ESE]
Lord Yabu says that suicide is not a foreign custom.
It is against the Christian God.
How can you kill yourself?
I am very sorry,
but custom or not, God or not,
the shame of the village is greater than I can bear.
I am in Japan. I am hatamoto.
I have a right to live according to your laws.
