1
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,834
Don't you remember the time when we camped off the Naoe Port?

2
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,558
Mother had us gather sedge and grass like this, remember?

3
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,275
Zushio!...

4
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,833
Anju!...

5
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,595
Oh, Mother is calling us!

6
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,795
Anju, let's run away.

7
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,153
-What?
-Escape!

8
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,755
-You mean it?
-Then hurry!

9
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,955
- Go alone.
- What about you?

10
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,034
-We'd be caught if together.
-I'll delay the chasers.Meanwhile run as far as you can

11
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,355
Go to the State Temple at Nakayama for protection.

12
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,757
I can't leave you.They'll torture you.

13
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,913
They don't kill slaves very ofter.Don't worry.

14
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,594
We couldnt both get away.

15
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:40,075
If you go alone,you'll be all right.

16
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,597
Save Namiji.Try your best to save her.

17
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,557
Go while I talk with the watchman.

18
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,833
The amulet is on Namiji's breast.

19
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,837
Wait for my return.
I'll come back if it's the last thing I do!

20
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,356
My brother'll do the rest.

21
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:32,197
Sorry I'm late.
Mutsu'll handle the rest.Let's go.

22
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,835
Let's hurry.I sure hope I don't end up like that.
Let's go.

23
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,437
Come,Namiji,let's go.

24
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,198
Isn't your brother terribly late?

25
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,635
He'll come soon.

26
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,998
What's happened?

27
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,557
He's late.

28
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,077
You go look.

29
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,193
He's gone! He's gone!

30
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,954
You slut!You must be hehind this.

31
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,078
Kayano,watch her!

32
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,157
Get more men!

33
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,034
Master!Bailiff!

34
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,674
-What happened?
-What is it?

35
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,233
-Mutsu the slave escaped!
-Mutsu?

36
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,836
-Shinobu too?

37
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,996
-No.She's at the gate.

38
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,155
How to deal with her?

39
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,753
Torture Shinobu.She must know.

40
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,515
Hurry and search throughout the village!
Hurry up!

41
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,119
You know where Mutsu went,don't you?

42
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,757
You're determined not to tell at any cost,
Ibelieve,but...

43
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,034
...you 'll be telling after they torture you.

44
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,036
No torture can make a dead person speak.

45
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,279
It's too late for you to outrun them.

46
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,476
Tie me up here and go before it's too late.

47
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,036
Thank you,Kayano.

48
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,078
Now go.

49
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,076
Search throughout the gorge.

50
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:19,156
"How I long for you,Zushio..."

51
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,275
"Isnt't life a torture?"

52
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,435
"How I long for you,Anju..."

53
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,198
"Isn't it hard?"

54
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,198
We're the Bailiff's men after the runaway!

55
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,839
He must be hiding here!

56
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,156
Give him up to us!

57
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,038
Or you'll be punished by the Minister.

58
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,715
Why come bearing arms like this,

59
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,315
as if a revolt had arisen?

60
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,913
Seeking one of your servants,eh?

61
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,395
No layman gets shelter here without my permission.

62
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,718
It's rules.

63
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,075
As I haven't give one,he can't be here.

64
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,034
And may I remind you this is an Imperial shrine.

65
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,358
Look.(THE IMPERIAL TEMPLE THE PROVINCE OF TANGO)

66
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,876
The Imperial autogragh...

67
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,674
Trespassers will be severely punished!

68
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,237
Leave quietly. For your own good.

69
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,358
I saw such a man!He went in that direction!

70
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,995
Southward,along the wall!
Hurry! You'll probably get him.

71
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,638
How's she doing?

72
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,714
Thanks to you medicine,she has rallied.

73
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,035
Good.I'm glad to hear that.

74
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,753
Thank you very much.

75
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,918
I'm so glad.

76
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,755
What is your plan now?

77
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,836
Master Taro.May I ask you a special favor?

78
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,515
Would you keep Namiji here in safety?

79
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,036
I can do that.

80
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,678
But what about your future?

81
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,315
I'm going to Kyoto.

82
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,439
Who's the most powerful there?

83
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,679
Well...the Prime Minister,I should say.

84
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,357
But why?

85
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,518
Master Taro.

86
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,397
With what purpose did you leave your father's place?

87
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,439
-You plan to appeal to him?
-Yes,sir.

88
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:26,119
At that time I had the same idea as yours;
I went to Kyoto.

89
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,118
But it wasn't as easy as I thought.

90
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,398
My single-handed efforts proved futile.

91
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,718
I found humans have little sympathy for things that don't directly concern them.

92
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,440
They're ruthless.

93
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,159
Unless their hearts are changed,

94
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,675
the world you dream of cannot come true.

95
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,918
If you're desirous of living honestly with your conscience...

96
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,196
...just hold close to the Buddha.

97
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,957
I hate to oppose you.

98
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,320
But I want to give my life to achieve my dream.

99
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,596
I see.Then...do as you wish.

100
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,118
It will be hard,though.

101
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,955
-I know.
-I am well prepared for that.

102
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,435
Then I shall ask my bishop to write a
special letter to the Prime Minister.

103
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,637
Thank you very much.
Thank you so very much.

104
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,759
I have a petition,my lord!

105
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,317
Please,my lord! Please,my lord!

106
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,037
I'm the son of the former Deputy Governor of Mutsu!

107
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,834
Get back!

108
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,315
Please!

109
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,397
I have here a letter

110
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,955
from Bishop Donmyo of the State Temple!

111
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,196
I'm doing this as I was refused at the gate!

112
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:05,918
-Please!I beg you!
-Call the guards!

113
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,233
You stole this?

114
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,357
No,sir!It's our heirloom treasure!

115
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,598
Return it to me!

116
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,075
That's my father's keepsake!

117
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,835
Please give it back to me!

118
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,713
Don't send me back to Bailiff Sansho!
Please!Please!

119
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,838
Don't worry .
His Lordship is going to hear you himself.

120
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,277
What a lucky fellow.

121
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,034
Come out.

122
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,439
I brought him.

123
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,358
Come this way.

124
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,079
-He's here,your Honor.
-Good.

125
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,917
Raise you face.
You claim you are the son of Masauji Taira,

126
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,159
of Mutsu Province,

127
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,918
is that true?

128
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:24,314
Yes,your Lordship.

129
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,476
The image you possessed originally belonged to

130
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,757
my forefather Michinaga.

131
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,958
He gave it to your ancestor in recognition of his good works.

132
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,555
You knew that?

133
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,634
I only know that it was our heirloom treasure.

134
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,795
My father left it with me when
he was sent to Tsukushi.

135
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,518
Your Lordship!Was what he did a crime?

136
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,519
Is pitying and loving men so unlawful?

137
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,876
It is not.

138
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,958
Only one must obey his superior officer.

139
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,596
However,

140
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,515
your father reasoned with arragant military men.

141
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,115
A man of extraordinary courage,I have to say.

142
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,635
You know about that,my lord?

143
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,118
Had I been in office,
it would have been different.

144
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,714
Could you pardon him now?

145
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,555
It is too late now.That is impossible.

146
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,197
Zushio.Don't let this dishearten you...

147
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:33,074
Your father has already departed this transient life.

148
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,558
When did it happen,my lord?

149
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,997
I investigated,reading your appeal.

150
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,398
It was last spring that he passed away in exile.

151
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,239
I sympathize with you.

152
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,637
And about your own hardships too...

153
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,437
In recognition of hi achievement and efforts...

154
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,514
...I am arranging for you to succeed hi title.
Would you mind?

155
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,473
For me?For me,my lord?

156
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,638
Fortunately,the post of Governor of Tango is vacant.

157
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,435
I will give you that appointment.

158
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,516
-Governor?
-Right.

159
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,114
Masamichi Taira is created a peer of the Junior grade of the Fifth Rank.

160
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:03,193
"Masamichi Taira,of the Fifth Rank,is hereby appointed Governor of Tango."

161
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,155
This is the Imperial Rescript of your appointment .Come closer.

162
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,357
I have chosen a name befitting a Governor.

163
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,438
Call yourself Masamichi Taira from now on.

164
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,639
Visit your father's tomb.

165
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,953
Thank you.My God.

166
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,517
Father is dead,but my mother and sister will be delighted.

167
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,993
Now I can make these two happy.

168
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,679
Not only that...

169
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,877
...I can liberate the slaves from...

170
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:47,715
...the infernal house of Sansho.

171
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,117
What?Liverate slaves?Nonsense!

172
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,639
Yura Manor is the property of the Minister of the Right.

173
00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:00,920
A Governor isn't authorized to interfere with a private manor.

174
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,596
You should know that to carry out your duty.

175
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,516
Reconsider your limitations.

176
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,715
Don't forget it.

177
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,917
Understand?

178
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:27,157
Imagine,the Governor of Tango coming all the way to Tsukushi.

179
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,196
His Lordship is the son of Lord Masauji who died here.

180
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,238
He came before going to his post.

181
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,996
A really dutiful son.

182
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,197
My regret is ...

183
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,915
...that I could not come while he was still alive.

184
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,677
I see so many flowers.

185
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,076
Have you been keeping them on his grave like this?

186
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,437
No,sir.They're from those who remember his kindness.

187
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,517
Your father was kind to everyone he came aross.

188
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,039
Especially those ill-fortuned peasants.

189
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,358
You father taught them how to read and write,

190
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,713
and ...

191
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,235
...how to live a moral life.

192
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,554
I'm Police Chief Norimura,my lord.

193
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,593
Welcome,your Excellency.

194
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,759
Congratulations on your safe arrival.

195
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,955
Thank you for welcoming me.

196
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,514
I'm Murotsuna,my lord.

197
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,317
Narisada,my lord.

198
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,474
Toneyasu,my lord.

199
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,799
I want to do something in lieu of announcing my arrival.

200
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,678
All but Norimura and his staff may go.

201
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,077
I issue a decree.

202
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,436
Take this.

203
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,396
"In this Province,

204
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,396
the sale of human beings is forbidden on penalty of the law."

205
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,676
"Both on Government land and in private manors,

206
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,195
the use of slaves shall be prohibited."

207
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,913
Is that a Government order,sir?

208
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,514
No;it is my order.

209
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,038
Yours?Are you sure you want it published?

210
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,037
You doubt it?

211
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,357
I believe you know what you are doing.

212
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,515
But you must admit this is too reckless even if you are young.

213
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,035
Reckless?Never!

214
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,315
-I have more.
-One moment.

215
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:24,038
A Governor's jurisdiction is only the Government land.

216
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,039
A manor is private pro[erty,sir.

217
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,800
Interfering with it can bring a difficult situation.

218
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,638
Especially ...

219
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,878
...the large manor of the Minister of the Right.

220
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,595
Its bailiff,Sansho Dayu,is really tough to deal with.

221
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,236
I want to liberate his slaves.

222
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,238
What,my lord?

223
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,079
He is appointed by Minister,

224
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,555
an official,as it were.

225
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,839
All the slaves there belong to the Minister.
The Bailiff,in charge,will fight you!

226
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,439
-I don't listen to that.
-Not only that.

227
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,756
Should this reach the capital,

228
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,713
you will undoutedly be discharged.

229
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,595
You may be exiled!

230
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,118
Your very life might be in danger!

231
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,357
I do not understand where you got such an extraordinary idea...

232
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:23,953
...but please give it up for your own good.

233
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,957
-Disobey me?
-No!

234
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,678
Continue.

235
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,515
"The liberated ones,if they wish,will be sent home,or...

236
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,436
...permitted to stay and justly paid for their work in money or in land.

237
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,595
That is all.

238
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,477
Publish this throughout the province.All right?

239
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,559
Norimura.

240
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,036
Will you go to Bailiff Sansho's and fetch a girl named Shinobu

241
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,915
A girl named Shinobu, sir?

242
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,435
Yes��

243
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,238
No such a girl here!

244
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,237
No? Are you sure?

245
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,314
Even if she were��a local official can't demand her.

246
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,796
Remember, this is the manor of the Minister of the Right.

247
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,393
No Governor can butt in here.

248
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,478
Go while the going's still good!

249
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,516
Off with you!... Go away!... Go!

250
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,276
Refused?�� I told him plenty, sir.

251
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,879
The fool.

252
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,718
Why did he demand Shinobu anyway?

253
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,397
Be on the alert.

254
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,597
What nonsense. Can't understand it at all.

255
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,037
Buying and selling of human beings and use of slaves

256
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,794
are prohibited in this Province of Tango.

257
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,997
violators will be severely punished.

258
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,755
November twenty-fifth, the seventh year of Kanji,

259
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,278
the Governor of Tango

260
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,237
Who is this lawless new governor?

261
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,476
He must be all-fired crazy!

262
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,478
Let him have it in a big way!

263
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,799
Dispatch a courier to Kyoto to the Minister at once.

264
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,517
Yes, sir!

265
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,558
Be sure the slaves don't hear of this.

266
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,640
Those morons are liable to start meaningless trouble.

267
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,154
And destory the notice-board as fast as you can!

268
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,594
Go away!

269
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,833
Not to buy and sell slaves? What nonsense!

270
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,156
What does this sign say?

271
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,315
I can'r read!

272
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,518
Destroy it!

273
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,236
Governor's notice! We're free!

274
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,755
Hold it there!

275
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,395
Let's go!

276
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,915
Ready my men!

277
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,276
Please, sir! Noble as your idea is...

278
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,118
You won't understand! Never!

279
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:45,037
Think of those who rot in that earthly hell!

280
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,356
Are we ready? Yes, sir.

281
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,439
They've arrived, Master.

282
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,315
This is a privilege to welcome you here.

283
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,278
I'm afraid we've little to offer you, as this is too sudden.

284
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,159
Yes. Bailiff, we meet again.

285
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,996
Young Mutsu!

286
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:06,753
I am Masamichi, Governor of Tango.

287
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,799
You have changed. Don't blame me for not recognizing you.

288
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,197
Do make yourself at home, please.

289
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,639
Bring some drinks. Don't bother.

290
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:27,598
I am not here as a friend.

291
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,797
You and your men are under arrest.

292
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,194
Preposterous! What have I done wrong?

293
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,157
Destroying the Governor's signpost is enough of a crime.

294
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,438
Oh, you mean that lawless notice, eh? i see.

295
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,756
Now I know how that was conceived. But this manor belongs to the...

296
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,635
I know! It's much the worse!

297
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,595
Such recklessness is sure to rebound on you!

298
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,997
Cancel the proclamation at once.

299
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,719
Then I might intercede for you with the Minister of the Right.

300
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,478
I don't know how you rose to this position of yours.

301
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,636
But it's like a fairy tale! A slave becoming a governor!

302
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,793
Don't spoil it. That's all you have to say?

303
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,675
That's my affair. If that's it, come with us.

304
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,239
Your property is confiscated and you'll be exiled. Arrest him!

305
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,518
Release me!

306
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,318
Whose house do you think this is? Attacking a manor like this...

307
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,836
Prepare yourself for punishment!

308
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,358
Release me!

309
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,158
Listen carefully, friends.

310
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:34,919
In this Province of Tango, the slave tade has been banned.

311
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,436
Both on government land and in manors, the use of slaves is forbidden.

312
00:41:55,720 --> 00:42:01,158
From this minute, none of you belong to Bailiff Sansho.

313
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,359
You are now all free men!

314
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,837
You may go home

315
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,874
You may stay here and work if you wish.

316
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,477
And you'll be paid.

317
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,157
Or you'll be given land as your own.

318
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:40,233
Nior.

319
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,999
Oh, Young Mutsu!

320
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:47,515
My sin in stamping that iron on your forehead cannot be erased, but...

321
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,836
...I hope you'll let this make up for a fraction of it.

322
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,559
Anju.

323
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,317
You heard all this?

324
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,194
Shinobu, I mean. You heard that?

325
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,357
Where is my sister?

326
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,473
Where is she?

327
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:22,037
What happened? Tell me.

328
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:25,993
She's no longer alive.

329
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,757
He killed her?

330
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:30,479
No.

331
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,277
She's drowned.

332
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,633
Why didn't you wait for me?

333
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,673
I truely believed you would.

334
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,714
It was your great faith that gave me back my life.

335
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,075
But im hopeless now.

336
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,719
Why didnt you wait for your brother's return?

337
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:28,437
Sansho's house is on fire, sir.

338
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,516
What?

339
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,036
He and his family have already been exiled, sir.

340
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,794
Submit this letter to the Prime Minister.

341
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,116
It is my resignation.

342
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,556
Perhaps you may think it very strange.

343
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,074
But those who have suffered here will appreciate my action.

344
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,717
I am going to Sado tomorrow, so help me pack.

345
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,798
Yes, sir.

346
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,237
All aboard.

347
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,114
We are leaving now.

348
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,394
You are not coming aboard? What's the matter?

349
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,638
I'm looking for a woman named Nakagimi.

350
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,915
Can you help me?

351
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,674
Nakagimi? Hmmm, she must be a courtesan.

352
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,593
There're brothels over there.

353
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,876
They can tell you.

354
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,316
I want to see Nakagimi. Is she one of you?

355
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,236
Yeah, she is

356
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:29,799
Where?

357
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,638
That house.

358
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,996
She's making up her face now.

359
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,518
Nakagimi?

360
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:10,438
Nakagimi? Who is it?

361
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,198
Welcome. Come here.

362
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,997
Are you really Nakagimi?

363
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,075
Of course.

364
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,757
I'm the one and only Nakagimi. Come on.

365
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,598
Well?

366
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,557
What's the matter? Come have a good time.

367
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,996
Why? Are you leaving?

368
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,074
Why, you brazen...!

369
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,995
Are you penniless? You big prize fool!

370
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,837
He didn't like you!

371
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:09,999
What happened to you?

372
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,594
Not that one. I'm looking for a woman over forty.

373
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,358
Oh, you mean the former Nakagimi, eh?

374
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,319
You know her?

375
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,835
She's dead now, I think.

376
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,156
She was found dead by the cape.

377
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,713
Or was it she jumped into the sea?

378
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,598
You're all wrong.

379
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,679
She was killed by the big tidal wave two years ago.

380
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,474
Are you her relative or something?

381
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,239
Where did it happen?

382
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,155
Beyond that there cape.

383
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:56,753
I've heard that this area was hit by a tsunami.

384
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,996
Uh-huh. Eight, nine out of ten were killed by that devilish wave that time.

385
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:13,516
Many bodies haven't been discovered yet.

386
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,957
Why do you want to hear about that tidal wave?

387
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,836
"How I long for you, Zushio..."

388
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,239
"How I long for you, Anju..."

389
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,878
"Isn't life a torture?"

390
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,157
"Isn't it so hard?"

391
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,397
"How I long for you, Anju..."

392
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:36,879
Mother!

393
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,076
I'm Zushio.

394
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,394
Scram!

395
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,598
You can't fool me anymore.

396
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:06,917
Go away!

397
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:15,559
You can't fool me again and again like that!

398
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,234
Mother!

399
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,598
Here.

400
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,435
The sacred image Father gave me.

401
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,480
Zushio. Are you truly...?

402
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:25,957
Do you recognize me?

403
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,033
I came to take you with me, Mother.

404
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,598
Zushio. Are you...alone?

405
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,439
Anju is with you, right?

406
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,875
Where is Anju? Bring her to me. Right away.

407
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,154
Anju has gone to join Father.

408
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,955
How is Father? Is he all right?

409
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:25,919
No, Mother.

410
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,833
Just you and I.

411
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,836
We're all alone now.

412
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:04,356
I could have come as a governor to take you away.

413
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,593
But I had to choose between Father's teaching and my position.

414
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,636
Please, Mother, forgive me!

415
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,157
Forgive you? I don't know what you did.

416
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:37,795
But I do know that you followed your father's teaching.

417
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:57,515
That is, maybe why we can meet here this way now.
