01x32 - Wazawai no tane

[bunniefuu]

His recovery is amazing.

The doctor says it must be
the doing of the gods.

That damned doctor.
That was totally uncalled for.

You go too far.

This is all my fault.

I rushed things too quickly.

Former Lady Wife.

You shouldn't blame yourself.

What now? Who's the next Sir Kamakura?

Since Sir Yori-ie has come back to life…

That's ridiculous.

Sir Senman's appointment
is already in the works.

Then what about Yori-ie?

Why don't we have him
enter the priesthood?

Since he's already shaved his head
I think it's appropriate.

How can you say that?!

It's too late for him

-to come back to life.
-Be quiet for a minute!

First,

we must discuss how to tell Sir Yori-ie.

He's going to be furious.

Will you tell him?

Me?

"While you were sleeping,

we destroyed the Hiki
and your family in one swoop."

How can I say that?

The one saving grace is
that Ichiman is alive.

-What?
-He's alive?

I pleaded with Koshiro.

I told him not to k*ll the child.

I didn't know that.

May I speak?

Sir Oe?

The envoy with the request
to make Sir Senman

the supreme commander
has already left for Kyoto.

If you want to stop him we must act now.

Please decide.

The answer is a foregone conclusion.

If Sir Yori-ie finds out
he will never forgive the Hojo.

I feared as much.

We must turn back time

to before Sir Yori-ie
regained consciousness.

That's the only way.

With lightning speed,
the Hojo destroyed the Hiki.

A new regime with Senman
as Sir Kamakura begins.

But already,

a large crack is forming.

Your color is improving.

I still feel wobbly when I stand.

It's no wonder, you were asleep
for a long time.

Tell me the truth, Tokimasa.

Yes?

You thought I was going to die.

Of course not.

I guessed from my shaved head.

It's the same as Father.

We were praying for your recovery.

I can still govern
after joining the priesthood.

Or I can renounce the priesthood.

But most of all, I want to see Setsu.

Why won't she come?

Do you know?

I heard she was ill
with the illness that's going around.

That's not good.

An epidemic?

That's news to me.

She doesn't want to infect you
so she's staying away.

Then just Ichiman…

Sir Ichiman is also ill.

Have some gifts delivered at once.

Setsu likes sweetfish sushi,
Ichiman dried persimmons.

Get them ready and take it to them.

Yes, sir.

I want to see my father-in-law, Hiki.

He's ill…

Please be careful, Sir Kamakura.

There's no way I would become a nun.

Why not?

Because Buddha didn't save Sir Zenjo.

Why should I serve him?

I will pray for Sir Zenjo’s soul.

But I will not become a nun.

That's a legitimate choice.

Never mind me.

There is still a Hiki in Kamakura.

Weren't you going to eradicate them?

Who are you talking about?

Hina became a Hojo a long time ago.

She has Hiki blood.

What do you expect us to do?

Are you saying we should behead her?

She has Hiki blood.

What are you going to do about Hina?

There is something I have to tell you,

Former Lady Wife.

You swore you would spare Ichiman.

What I heard is that

Sir Ichiman was taken out of the compound,

but he evaded his guards

-and went back into the burning…
-Liar.

I'm not lying.

You never intended to spare him.

It was the same with Yoshitaka.

The Hojo are the Hiki's arch enemy.

Who knows what he'd do if he was spared?

That's why you k*lled him, am I right?

You k*lled my grandchild.

You k*lled Sir Yoritomo's grandchild.

Sir Ichiman's presence

would have been a problem.

Are you planning to k*ll Yori-ie as well?

I can't trust you anymore.

Where are you going?

-To Sir Yori-ie's.
-What for?

I will inform him of what happened.

Hold on.

I will tell Yori-ie.

You can't.

I will tell him.

It is my duty.

Do you plan to tell him everything?

Don't take me for a fool.

I know what I'm doing.

Are you telling me the Hiki are no more?

Yes.

Does that mean…

Setsu is no longer in this world?

Nor Ichiman?

I can't believe it.

Why?

No one thought you'd survive.

The Hiki, thinking you would
never recover,

set fire to the compound
and took their lives.

Why did they have to die?

This is a trick.

They couldn't let you die alone.

What really happened?

Please tell me.

I told you the truth.

It was the Hojo…

They k*lled father-in-law Hiki,
Setsu and Ichiman.

They took their own lives.

That can't be.

Please don't.

Forget.

I can't.

Get over it.

I can't.

Think about why you survived.

And Zenzai?

He is safe.

The Miura are protecting him.
Tsutsuji too.

So don't worry.

That's why…

Let me go.

Don't come near me.

Get out.

I will never forgive the Hojo.

You too.

Get out.

Please.

Get out…

You must get some sleep.

I am too frightened.

Things are proceeding for the better.

If something happens to Sir Senman,

the next Sir Kamakura will
definitely be Sir Zenzai.

The time will come.

Oh, Chikayoshi. What is it?

A letter from Kamakura.

Put it there.

It says Yori-ie is critical.

Is he going to die?

Unfortunately…

He must have been gourmandizing
and not taking care of himself.

It seems they'll let his younger
brother succeed.

He wants me to appoint him
supreme commander.

What do you think, Priest Jien?

JIEN

I had a dream the other night.

You and your dreams…

What dream?

About the three sacred relics
that sank in Dannoura…

I think this is what
the dream was telling me.

The replacement for the lost sacred sword

is the Kamakura shogun,
head of the samurai.

Oh?

You have to take good care
of the new shogun.

It says he will simultaneously hold
a coming-of-age ceremony.

Ah.

I will bestow him his adult name.

He is not worthy.

He is Yoritomo's son.

I should name him something tomo.

Do you know what they call this…

the protuberance at the joining point?

I don't know.

It is the "sane."

Yes.

Let him become the joint
that connects Kamakura and Kyoto.

I name him Sanetomo.

SANETOMO

A good name, I believe.

I've been thinking.

Sir Senman will be coming of age
and become supreme commander.

The next order of business
is a legal wife.

It's too early.

We must arrange these things
way in advance.

Sir Yoritomo had an appropriate gokenin's
daughter in mind…

but he must have learned
a lesson with Sir Yori-ie.

So let's not do that.

You may be right.

Let's get someone from Kyoto.

We'll find someone with
a bloodline of an exalted personage.

What do you think?

Isn't your husband coming?

He'll be here shortly.

When he becomes the protector
of Kyoto and goes there,

ask him to find someone suitable.

And when we find a suitable person
and have her come to Kamakura,

you, Masanori,

will go to Kyoto to escort her.

I would love to go.

Tokimasa and Riku's son Masanori was 15.

You've even planned the details?

Sir Kamakura and Masanori
are uncle and nephew.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Tomomasa Hiraga.

He was the husband of Tokimasa
and Riku's daughter.

Protector of Kyoto,
we've been waiting for you.

You flatter me, mother-in-law.

Where did you stop by on your way here?

Mother-in-law.

I saw them growing on my way home

so I picked them for you.

Oh, my!

Wild flowers become you.

That was what they said when
I lived in Kyoto.

He's such a considerate son-in-law.

Oh, my!

Please tell me what really happened.

I can't believe father-in-law Hiki
would have succumbed so easily.

How was he k*lled?

Tell me…

how Yoshikazu Hiki met his end.

What I heard was that

Sir Hojo summoned him to talk peace,

and he went alone to the Hojo mansion.

And he was k*lled there.

Right?

Yes.

So, it's correct that Tokimasa k*lled him?

I don't know who actually k*lled him but

it was Sir Hojo who ordered it.

Right?

Yes.

Unforgivable.

Wada and Nitta.

Bring Tokimasa's head to me.

-But…
-What he did

is the same as treason.

I will vanquish him.

Will you come to my house for a drink?

No, thank you.

Excuse me.

Why did Sir Yori-ie call me and Nitta?

I think I know why.

Both of you are good in battle,
loyal, stupid…

Huh?

…to a fault.

He thought you would do as he says.

Sir Yori-ie is to be pitied.

Nothing good came out of
him coming back to life.

If he had died then, everything
would have worked out nicely.

And so. What are you going to do?

Will you attack the Hojo?

If I was going to, I wouldn't have
discussed this with you two.

That's the right answer.

There's no upside in going against
Hojo now.

There's not a chance Sir Yori-ie
will regain his former power.

What should I do?

-Should I let Hojo know?
-Sir Yori-ie is finished.

You have no other choice.

Thanks for letting me know.

Sir Wada puts his relationship
with the Hojo first.

Even if it's Sir Yori-ie's order,

there's no way I can attack Hojo.

But…

Why doesn't Nitta come to me?

You don't think he's thinking
of attacking me?

Sir Nitta is a man of integrity.

He thought Sir Yori-ie was going to die.

He made up his mind, but now this…

he must be between a rock
and a hard place.

I can't sleep well at night
with this going on.

You never know when Yori-ie's
minions might attack.

He no longer has such powers.

You never know.

He will have to die.

What a horrible thing to say.

He was originally dead anyway.

We're just going back to that.

That's impossible.

As long as he's alive,
he is the seed of disaster.

For Sir Senman's sake
and for the Hojo's sake,

and for my sake, make up your mind.

He is my grandson.

We have a letter from Kyoto

appointing Sir Senman
to supreme commander.

First, we'll pick an auspicious day

and conduct his coming-of-age ceremony.

Please go ahead.

Sir Hiraga,

please go to Kyoto as Kyoto Protector.

You will deliver thank you gifts
to the Emperor Emeritus.

You will be the bridge between
Kamakura and Kyoto from now.

I'm counting on you.

I accept.

And another thing.

Emperor Emeritus has chosen
a name for Sir Senman.

SANETOMO

Sanetomo…

It is an excellent name.

Sir Nitta.

Sir Koshiro.

There's something I want
to discuss with you.

I have to hurry back to the mansion.

Could it wait?

That's fine.

I'm sorry.

What is it?

There is something

I must tell you.

What is it?

Sir Ichiman is alive.

I went against your orders
and took him from the Hiki mansion

and am harboring him at a certain place.

I am sorry.

Father-in-law, you must know
his temperament.

He could not take Sir Ichiman's life.

Please forgive him.

Now that Sir Yori-ie has
come back to life,

it was the saving grace
of the whole situation.

Is he in Kamakura?

You did it.

Almost.

You're very good at this, Sir Ichiman.

You got it again.

Alright…

Could I talk to you before you leave?

Yes?

I've been thinking.

Although I have Hiki blood,

I helped to destroy them.

I can't remain in Kamakura any longer.

In fact,

I wanted to talk to you about that too.

If you're thinking of divorcing me,

as long as there is this pledge,
you can't.

If you break this promise,
you will go to Hell.

You will bleed from all your pores
and die a dreadful death.

I don't want you to suffer
such a horrible fate.

So I've decided.

I am asking you.

Please divorce me.

Hina.

In fact,

I don't really need your permission.

But the reason I am is
since I have the chance…

it may be a strange thing to say…

Forgive me.

Oh no.

I wasn't going to cry.

Shame on me.

It's like that time.

The hunt at Mt. Fuji.

We were chased by a wild boar…

Run!

You held me tight.

I feel the same warmth yet…

How strange life is…

although

nothing has changed.

I must draw the line.

You were going out?

I will say goodbye now.

I'm going.

Take care.

Yoshitoki Hojo's legal wife
was a Hiki relation.

Her name is recorded in history
as Hime no Mae.

It is said she left Kamakura the year
the Hiki perished

and died in Kyoto four years later.

Zenji.

Where is Ichiman?

He's playing with Master.

Higher.

Did you make it?

Yes.

Watch him.

He can't be alive.

Can't do it.

It's no different than Sentsurumaru.

He likes me.

That's totally out of character.

Sir Ichiman.

Let's go play by the water.

Why was Zenji crying?

Father!

Please hurry.

Why?

He came to the palace unexpectedly,

and said, "I choose death,"

and k*lled himself
before we could stop him.

Does Sir Yori-ie know?

He hasn't been told yet.

Your careless comment

has made a very loyal true Bando samurai

k*ll himself.

Don't talk as if it was my fault.

It was the Hojo in the first place who…

I know that.

But listen to me.

Unless you change your attitude,

it will happen again and again.

I want you to understand that.

I think Sir Yori-ie must leave
Kamakura after all.

Where are you exiling him to?

He must devote himself to Buddhism
at the Shuzenji Temple in Izu.

This is the best thing for his well-being.

Do you really think this will be
to his benefit?

It will be hard for him to see

Sir Senman become Sir Kamakura
if he stayed in Kamakura.

I think that's all for the best.

Father is right.

I can still visit him

if he's in Shuzenji.

Did you tell him about Sir Ichiman?

That he is alive.

Sir Ichiman died
when the Hiki mansion burned down.

What are you talking about?

Did you go to Zenji's place?

Father, you k*lled Sir Ichiman.

Why?

That's what samurai do.

This is not right.

This is the way it should be.

-You're wrong, Father.
-Taro!

You…

No!

I won't leave.

The Hojo can't make me.

It is the decision of all the gokenin.

Don't you see it, Miura?

The Miura are next after the Hiki.

And Wada.

Don't listen to him.

Let me go.

Sir Kamakura.

Father.

Is this what you wanted?

Are you sure this…?

October 8th, 1203.

Senman's coming-of-age was
celebrated on a grand scale.

Yori-ie, on the other hand, left Kamakura

and was sent to
the Shuzenji Temple in Izu.

Yori-ie.

We gokenin,

swear to serve you with our lives.

I'm counting on you.

Yes, My Lord.

This is the birth of the new Sir Kamakura,

and the third shogun, Sanetomo Minamoto.

Zenzai.

Don't go too far.

I won't, Mother.

Is that you, Sir Zenzai?

You must never forgive the Hojo.

They chased away your father
and k*lled your older brother.

You are the one who should have
become the next Sir Kamakura.

Those that prevented that were
Tokimasa Hojo, Yoshitoki

and Masako.

You must never forgive them.

Do not forgive the Hojo.

Zenzai?

TO BE CONTINUED

We will behead all of the Hojo clan.

I did it for Kamakura.

It's unacceptable.

NEXT TIME

He is me.

Go to Kamakura.

In Shuzenji…

I am grateful just knowing
he is doing fine.

Brother Saburo?
