1:36:03
I'll...
1:36:06
I'll do it...
1:36:08
Finally, tomorrow
morning...
1:36:12
For both of us, I shall
strive to do my best!
1:36:15
If I may ask, Sir
Kisoya...
1:36:17
...what did you mean when you said you
were concerned about something?
1:36:21
Sir Kisoya...
1:36:23
No, it's just my imagination!
It can't possibly be for real!
1:36:28
I just... cannot make
any sense of it all.
1:36:32
Just exactly what are
you talking about?
1:36:34
Okiku, it's just
a rumor.
1:36:35
Understand? It's just some
rumor floating around.
1:36:39
A group, led by Mito men, along with
Satsuma and Choshuu ronin...
1:36:44
...plans to assassinate Honorable
Elder li... or something.
1:36:46
That is ridiculous! It can't
possibly be true!
1:36:48
With the world in a
state of turmoil...
1:36:50
...unfounded rumors are bound to
appear and be spread around.
1:36:54
But, if we paid attention to them
all, we'd all die from worry.
1:36:57
Very true! I agree with you.
I hope that's the case here.
1:37:01
But, what if...
1:37:04
Just, what if...
1:37:05
Just, what if...
I understand.
1:37:08
Sir Kisoya, your concern is that...
what if Sir Tsuruchiyo...
1:37:11
...becomes one of
the conspirators.
1:37:15
These days, those wanting to become
a samurai can do so by...
1:37:17
...being of service to the clans of Mito,
Satsuma, or even Choshuu.
1:37:23
Y... Yes... that's right.
1:37:27
But, what's so wrong
with that, then?
1:37:30
What?!
1:37:30
What?!
Sir Kisoya, I too cannot believe...
1:37:33
...that such a thing could possibly
happen right here in Edo.
1:37:37
But, if it were to happen, it wouldn't
mean the end of the Tokugawa.
1:37:43
And if it happened, Sir Niiro would
become an honorable figure.
1:37:47
It's so courageous...
It's so like him...
1:37:49
...to depend on nobody but himself.
It's a goal worth pursuing.
1:37:51
No! It can't be allowed! Y... You
can't be serious! It's ridiculous!
1:37:55
Nowhere in this world does the child
kill the parent... It's absurd!
