Shogun (Shôgun) (Shōgun)

My name is Toda Mariko.

I am to be your interpreter.

To vanquish our common enemies.

I found this on your ship.

We show this to the Japanese and he will be hanged for piracy.

He has denied our departure papers for the Black Ship.

Let this be my burden, Father.

But your Black Ship must stay where it is.

Toranaga has come to better understand the great profits

being made from our monopoly over the China trade.

He has invited us to provide a report on our rates of exchange.

You men of the cloth with your impotent pricks.

We bring the profits.

We dictate terms.

And we are here at their pleasure.

Until Toranaga receives this report

you won't get clearance to leave.

I am sitting on one million ducats

that has to get to Macao.

I won't lose this wind.

That pilot should have been taken care of

before he even reached Osaka.

Captain.

You forget yourself.

And you forget I don't work for the Church.

I work for the Crown.

Let it be known

the Black Ship sails tonight.

Ah.

Get all the cargo on board.

We're leaving anyway.

Hey, hey, wait. Wait.

We-we leave without clearance,

we don't get invited back.

The longer we sit around, the worse that pilot

makes it for us. We're on the wind tonight.

The pilot?

He's still alive.

I'll be fucked.

He's going to bleed me, then?

I'm sorry? I do not understand.

This warlock here, he aims to...

bleed me, to...

release the foulness from my blood.

I'm not familiar with this...

warlock, but I can assure you this man is a doctor

who cares for the sick and injured.

What's been said about the assassin?

Only that she belonged to a very dangerous sect.

- Mm. - She had served as a palace maid for years.

Some train their whole lives for a single kill.

It is very costly.

A price few could afford.

You refuse... to see it.

What those priests are capable of, even now.

Christ!

How much are the Jesuits paying this one to kill me?

Oh, my God, dear, what did he say?

What did the warlock say?

Since you are so upset,

the doctor suggests we send a...

woman to pillow with you instead.

- Pillow? - Uh,

it is polite for...

the physical joining of a man and woman.

If he's not a warlock, he's most certainly a pimp.

Would you prefer a male companion?

Dear God, where am I?

Who's he?

May I at least speak with Toranaga before we go?

I'm afraid it will not be possible.

Yabushige-sama asks

that you stay close to the litter as we walk.

[hooves

Did you know?

I think no one knows.

My lord is famous for his trickery.

When he was six years old

his father traded him to a rival busho.

As a hostage, he learned one truth--

that enemies are everywhere and friends nowhere.

To show your true heart is to risk your life.

What happens if he's found?

He will be killed.

And all of us.

No one's going to stop him?

No one's going to stop him.

This is unacceptable.

Peering into ladies' private quarters?!

It's not proper!

Worse than that-- it's vulgar!

Unholy perversion!

Am I the only man present

who treasures the purity of a woman?!

Low! A woman's virtue is her glory!

A blight on us all!

My God, the shame of it!

You, sir, are a silly little man!

And your hair looks like the tail of a pony!

Well, I hope you didn't mind the part about the pony.

Ah.

What happens when Ishido's men learn who they are escorting?

I'm certain my lord has a plan.

Is it true what you said,

about the purity

of women in your country?

Christ, no.

Foul slatterns and trollop everywhere in London.

Like your doctor friend.

Whoring women to injured guests.

You yourself

insinuating that I would have an interest

in casual buggery.

We think pillowing is necessary to good health.

In fact, some say the moment of the clouds

and the rain is as near to heaven as they can get.

The clouds and the rain?

It means...

Thank you, I understand the metaphor.

I've just never heard it put so poetically.

Especially by a married woman.

I'm assuming that man's your husband.

Yes.

His name is Toda Hirokatsu,

though friends call him Buntaro.

He is a...

...a strong and admired warrior.

And the boy your only child?

Mm-hmm.

Do you have children?

Yes.

My boy Tudor

and my daughter Lisbeth.

And what are they like?

Get down, fast!

Is it Ishido-sama?

No, I do not think so.

Get back before we're all killed.

We have to help him.

lackthorne] Come on, to the galley, while we still have the chance.

Wait. This crew may be hostile to Toranaga-sama.

Well, I'll be damned.

I know this crew.

You think I'm friendless.

Captain-sama.

We sailed together out of Ajiro.

Is that what I think it is?

The Portuguese Black Ship.

Their trading vessel.

Ready the oars.

Where's that damn line again?

Let's go back.

For Christ's sake, he can still make it.

Ah, Mariko-sama.
