[In Akiro, Tonomoto Akinao is bringing John to Lord Toranaga]
Until we find those who aided the Christian raiders, no one in this village will rest. Lord Toranaga has ordered it. [Walks past boards holding decapitated heads of European sailors]
[forced on his knees before Toranaga] Lord.
Thank you for returning my consorts and my vassals.
You’ve heard the news that Lady Mariko is dead.
Yes, I know. That night, you were seen letting intruders into my quarters.
One of Mariko’s ladies-in-waiting was with you in the cellar. She sent a letter to Omi. After Lady Mariko’s death, they say you were guilt-stricken and asked for forgiveness. I felt it was my duty to alert our lord.
Did you aid this attack?
[Sighs and inhales sharply] Yes, I did.
Fine. All of your lands are forfeit. Please slit your belly by sunset tomorrow.
Lord... If you must kill me, give me a good death! Like being torn apart by cannon or eaten alive by a school of angry fish! I beg you! Please!
Fine suggestions, but I don’t trust you. Please commit seppuku by sunset tomorrow.
Izu is the fief of the Kashigi clan. I declare Omi to be my heir, and request it be given to him.
It is fair to ask, but Izu is no longer yours to give. Who would you like to second your death?
Let it be the Anjin.
No.
In that case, I would be honored if it would be you, Lord.
I shall. Until tomorrow, then.
[to John as he is carried off] May Fudō Myō’ō smile on tomorrow.
