1:22:02
If you leave them on my desk,
I'll have a read at my appropriate time.
1:22:06
With all due respect, Sir.
1:22:08
our president's patience is wearing thin.
1:22:10
Perhaps there's someone else
we should be speaking to.
1:22:13
With all due respect, ambassador.
1:22:16
Perhaps there's someone else
we should be speaking to.
1:22:19
For instance, French or the English,
1:22:21
or with any of the legations
waiting in the next room.
1:22:24
Yes. well, we should be looking
forward to hearing from you.
1:22:30
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
1:22:32
Captain Algren.
1:22:34
Perhaps you and I might
have a while in private.
1:22:37
Please, sit down.
1:22:42
May I offer you a whiskey?
1:22:44
No, thank you.
1:22:52
Katsumoto is an
extraordinary man, is he not?
1:22:55
He is a tribal leader.
1:22:56
I've known many of them.
1:22:59
But now who are Samurai,
their way is a great appeal.
1:23:04
I don't see others concerns me.
1:23:06
Ah, but it does.
1:23:08
You see, you were right. Captain Algren.
1:23:11
Last year we were not prepared to go to battle.
1:23:14
You were right and Colonel Bagley was wrong.
1:23:16
But now we are ready.
1:23:19
If Katsumoto is allowed to attract
the other Samurai to his cause,
1:23:22
we will have 10 years of barbarian.
1:23:25
This is something I will not allow.
1:23:27
Either I'll stop him in the council today.
1:23:30
or you will lead my army against him.
1:23:33
and with these new weapons,
you will crash him.
1:23:39
I appreciate the offer.
1:23:41
It is not an offer.
1:23:43
Mr. Omura, my contract
with you, was to train your army.
1:23:47
Then we will make a new contract.
1:23:50
One that recognizes the extraordinary
contribution you have made to the Emperor.
1:23:56
Do we understand each other?
