[01:35] Tsu     C-Calm down, Gintoki! [01:36] Tsu     He's just unconscious! [01:38] Tsu     We need to get him help, quick! [01:39] Nobu     Found Whitey and Blondie. [01:41] Gin     That's not a can! [01:45] Nobu     It'll be faster to cut him up. [01:46] Gin     Your way of moving faster is too fast! [01:48] A     Excuse me, Shogun-sama. [01:50] A     The former shogun,     Sadasada-sama is here. [01:53] A     Are you available? [01:55] Gin     Is he available? [01:57] Gin     That's what I want to know! [01:59] Gin     This is a disaster! What the hell     do we do about this?! [02:01] Gin     We finally found the former shogun, [02:03] ---     but the current shogun is flying away! [02:05] Gin     Butterflying away in the River Styx. [02:06] Gin     At this rate, we'll be     butterflying away with him, [02:08] Tsu     Calm down! [02:09] Gin     so before that, let's start running away! [02:13] Tsu     Hey, where are you going? [02:15] Tsu     Get back here. [02:16] Tsu     Are you gonna give up     on this perfect chance? [02:19] Sada     Is something wrong? [02:21] Sada     Shigeshige-san is my nephew. [02:23] Sada     I don't need his permission to visit. [02:25] Sada     I'm coming in, Shigeshige-san. [02:27] Gin     H-Hold on! [02:36] Shige     What is the meaning of this? [02:39] Tsu     O-Oh no! [02:40] Tsu     We said to wait! [02:43] Tsu     Shogun-sama is busy right now. [02:48] Nobu     Hello, we're Delivery     Yoshiwara's Nobume... [02:50] Tsu     ...and Tsu-ki. It's a pleasure. SIGN    Inside the Palace!! [03:00] Sasa     Found the princess. [03:03] Sasa     Shot Grampy. [03:05] Sasa     Sorry, but I already found everyone. [03:08] Sasa     Forgive me for being an elite. [03:11] Grampy     My apologies, Sasaki-dono! [03:13] Grampy     We were just... [03:13] Sasa     It's fine. [03:15] Sasa     But watch where you hide. [03:19] Sasa     I almost mistook you for     a villain and shot you. [03:22] Shin     Almost? You nearly shot me to death! [03:25] Sasa     Rotten-dono, if you agree     to take responsibility when [03:28] ---     I accidentally kill the princess, [03:31] Sasa     we can play another round. [03:33] Grampy     We'll stop! We're going to stop! [03:34] Grampy     I'm so very sorry! [03:36] Sasa     A wise decision. [03:38] Sasa     I would expect as much [03:40] ---     from Rotten Maizo-dono,     advisor to the former shogun. [03:42] Sasa     I've heard that you gave up your     left arm to show your loyalty. [03:48] Shin     Grampy, you served Sadasada-sama? [03:51] Grampy     I-It was a long time ago. [03:54] Sasa     It was a tempestuous age of     political purges within the palace, [03:59] Sasa     and Rotten-dono played a pivotal     role in keeping his master safe. [04:04] Sasa     Sadasada-sama's elevation to shogun [04:07] ---     was thanks to Rotten-dono's hard work [04:10] Sasa     since the other candidates     were all sent to heaven. [04:16] Sasa     Yes, by "heaven," I mean Yoshiwara. [04:20] Shin     What do you... [04:21] Grampy     Sasaki-dono, could you escort     these visitors outside? [04:25] Grampy     Come with me, Your Highness. [04:26] Soyo     Wait, Grampy! [04:28] Soyo     Kagura-chan! [04:29] Kag     Soyo-chan! [04:32] Tsu     Here you are, Shogun-sama. [04:35] Tsu     Come on, Shogun-sama. [04:37] Tsu     You're spilling everything. [04:38] Tsu     You're so hopeless. [04:41] Gin     There's no way! [04:42] Gin     Not a chance in hell! [04:44] Gin     There's no way we can fool him! [04:46] Gin     Why are we bothering with this act? [04:48] Gin     His eyes are rolled back! [04:50] Gin     The former shogun's eyes     are also rolled back! [04:53] Tsu     Say something! Say something, now! [04:56] Gin     I'm not a ventriloquist! [04:57] Tsu     Still beats staying quiet! Hurry up! [05:00] Gin     Y-Yeah, you gave me a scare [05:03] Gin     since you walked in without     any warning, Uncle! [05:05] Gin     Give me a break! [05:07] Gin     I look like a fool now! [05:11] Tsu     Why are you being so casual?! [05:13] Tsu     Act more serious, like the shogun would! [05:15] Gin     Bring Genda Tessho-san here, then! [05:17] Gin     I don't know how to     play a serious shogun! [05:20] Nobu     My apologies, Dearest Uncle. [05:22] Gin     She can mimic voices? [05:25] Nobu     I have humiliated myself shogun. [05:27] Gin     Huh, shogun? [05:28] Nobu     I'm so embarrassed shogun. [05:30] Gin     Hey! Why do you end every     sentence with shogun?! [05:33] Nobu     Please forget what you saw shogun. [05:35] Gin     You're sounding like Korosuke now! [05:37] Gin     Who are you trying to imitate?! [05:40] Nobu     Oh, that's odd. [05:42] Nobu     The shogun is talking faster than     his mouth can move shogun. [05:45] Gin     Nobody asked for an     Ikkoku-dou impression! [05:47] Sada     No, I should be the one apologizing. [05:51] Sada     You seemed to frown upon such behavior. [05:54] Sada     I did some crazy things when I was young,     though nothing as bold as this. [05:59] Gin     What does he think was going on here?! [06:01] Sada     But I'm shocked that the Mimawarigumi     would allow visitors inside. [06:05] Sada     It seems that they aren't     here to protect us. [06:09] Sada     Look at that. [06:11] Gin     Huh? Er, can I sit here? [06:13] Gin     Can I just stare at his     receding hairline from here? [06:15] Tsu     Of course not! [06:16] Tsu     Stand up! Get over there! [06:17] Sada     They claim to be training, but     that's no more than an excuse. [06:21] Sada     They're monitoring us. [06:23] Sada     You know that the current Bakufu [06:24] Tsu     Hey, be careful! [06:25] ---     is split between our faction,     which backs you, [06:26] Sada     and the faction that     wants to make one of [06:30] ---     the young Hitotsubashis Shogun, yes? [06:33] Sada     The recent assassination victims [06:35] ---     have all been members of     the Hitotsubashi faction. [06:38] Sada     That is why they suspect us. [06:42] Sada     The Mimawarigumi have strong ties     to the Hitotsubashi faction. [06:47] Sada     They may attempt to make     false accusations. [06:52] Sada     Try not to do anything that would     attract their attention. [06:59] Tsu     Shogun-sama, give me back my underwear! [07:03] Nobu     This doesn't seem right. [07:04] Gin     Any naughty underwear around shogun? [07:06] Gin     Ugh, this stinks! [07:07] Sada     Shigeshige-san... [07:09] Sada     Was your hair always so bushy? [07:12] Gin     Oh, this hair was on her underwear. [07:14] Sada     I don't remember that bushy object     being in this room before. [07:18] Nobu     Oh, this hair was always here shogun. [07:21] Sada     Honestly, I can't tell if you're     being resilient or foolish. [07:25] Gin     Wait, it worked? [07:27] Sada     But try to control yourself. [07:31] Sada     I've seen many people ruin     their lives because of women. [07:36] Sada     Yes, beware of courtesans. [07:41] Tsu     My Lord. [07:43] Tsu     Please forgive my interruption. [07:46] Tsu     But there is something I must ask. [07:48] Tsu     Do you remember the courtesan Suzuran? [07:53] Tsu     No, it doesn't matter if     you don't remember her. [07:56] Tsu     I just... I just... [07:58] Sasa     I see. [08:00] ---     So you want to know the     connection between [08:02] ---     that courtesan and Sadasada-sama. [08:04] Shin     It sounded like you knew something. [08:07] Sasa     Let me offer you some advice. [08:09] Sasa     Give me your e-mail     addresses and leave. [08:12] Shin     We don't have any! [08:13] Sasa     Become my e-mail buddies and leave. [08:15] Kag     We'd rather stay strangers! [08:17] Sasa     The courtesan who bewitched     and toppled our very country... [08:21] Sasa     Stay out of this, unless you     want to get yourself destroyed. [08:25] Sada     I see... [08:27] Sada     So Suzuran is still alive. [08:34] Sasa     You're right. [08:37] Sasa     Lady Suzuran was Sadasada-sama's     companion when he was young. [08:41] Sasa     However, he wasn't the one     who fell for her charms. [08:45] Sasa     At the time, Yoshiwara was a place for [08:48] ---     high-ranking officials     to meet and socialize, [08:51] Sasa     and every man who visited     was entranced by her. [08:57] Sada     Suzuran... [08:59] Sada     How could I forget her? [09:01] Sada     I could never forget. [09:04] Sada     Those eyes shining with kindness... [09:07] Sada     The graceful way she moved... [09:10] Sada     Her silky hair... [09:11] Sada     Glossy lips... [09:13] Sada     Supple skin... [09:18] Sada     And... [09:23] Sada     ...those blood-stained hands. [09:28] Sada     I'd love to suck them off again. [09:33] Sasa     He was using her. [09:37] Sasa     Using her as a tool to     topple this country. [09:41] Sasa     And after becoming shogun, [09:45] Sasa     he prepared a puppet to succeed him, [09:48] Sasa     so his influence in the     palace would not wane. [09:51] Kag     What about that promise?! [09:54] Sasa     Do you really think that man [09:56] ---     would grant freedom to a tool     who knew his secrets? [09:58] Sasa     If he ever made such a     promise, he was lying. [10:00] Sasa     It was nothing more than a     curse to maintain control [10:04] Sasa     over his tool. [10:06] Sasa     That cunning old man is not     someone you can handle. [10:10] Sasa     You should go home and let     the elites deal with this. [10:13] Sasa     Yoshiwara was only the beginning. [10:15] Sasa     This place has become     his hunting ground. [10:17] Sasa     Who knows what might happen to you... [10:25] Sasa     I just got a curry udon     stain out the other day. [10:28] Sasa     See? I told you that you     were asking for trouble... [10:33] Shin     Sa-Sasaki-san! [10:37] Sada     Yes, I've found some more tools to use. [10:42] Sada     Apprehend them. [10:43] Sada     These criminals are guilty of     murdering Bakufu officials [10:47] ---     as well as the leader     of those snooping dogs. [10:53] Hiji     Sasaki was taken down. [10:55] Hiji     Well, his life was forfeit once he     let murderers inside the palace. [11:01] Hiji     The Mimawarigumi have been     removed from palace security. [11:04] Hiji     It won't be long before they disband. [11:08] Hiji     And we've been selected     to take their place. [11:11] Hiji     But something about this stinks. [11:13] Kondo     Stinks?! What does?! [11:14] Hiji     I hear the alleged criminals in the serial     Bakufu murders were apprehended, [11:18] Hiji     and they'll be executed     tomorrow morning [11:20] ---     without conducting any investigation. [11:22] Hiji     It sounds like they're trying     to cover something up. [11:26] Kondo     Oh, whew. [11:28] Kondo     I thought he could smell my gas. [11:29] Hiji     Kondo-san? [11:30] Kondo     R-Right! [11:32] Kondo     Something's not right. [11:33] Kondo     Let's clean up these murderers. [11:37] Gin     Oh! Kondo-kun! Hijikata-kun! [11:40] Gin     Fancy meeting you here! [11:42] Gin     Perfect timing! [11:44] Gin     I need to talk to you. [11:47] Gin     I'm gonna kill you, you rotten cops! [11:49] Gin     Don't ignore me! Hear me out! [11:50] Hiji     It's hopeless. That's some stubborn     filth they're covered in. [11:53] Kondo     That won't ever clean off. [11:54] Gin     Everyone! That gorilla pooped a     little when he farted earlier! [11:57] Kondo     How do you know that?! [11:58] Oki     It's no use, boss. [12:02] Oki     You picked the wrong enemy this time. [12:05] Oki     Nobody's going to lend     an ear to your pleas. [12:08] Kag     Then rip off your ear     and lend it to us! [12:11] Oki     Sorry, my ears have a prior engagement. [12:13] Kag     Then give me an ear of corn! [12:14] Oki     Oh? I see a familiar face in there. [12:17] Oki     That's odd. Why is there an     elite locked up with the scum? [12:21] Oki     What will happen to the Mimawarigumi     if I tell the shogun? [12:25] Oki     Oh, yeah. [12:26] Oki     Sorry, you guys are     already finished, regardless. [12:33] Nobu     Hand over a Pon De Ring! [12:35] Oki     That's what you want?!     You're ripping me apart! [12:37] Kag     Give me my dinner! [12:40] Shin     We really picked the wrong     opponent this time. [12:44] Shin     Sasaki-san said that the palace was     Sadasada's hunting ground now. [12:49] Shin     And Sasaki-san was also... [12:51] Nobu     He's alive. [12:52] Nobu     Isaburo is alive. [12:56] Tsu     So it turns out you were right, Gintoki. [13:00] Tsu     I was the one blinded by a false dream. [13:04] Tsu     Suzuran was waiting for a     man that doesn't exist. [13:08] Tsu     She must have known [13:10] Tsu     that refusing Sadasada     would mean her death. [13:13] Tsu     That the promise was meant     to chain her to Yoshiwara. [13:19] Tsu     Suzuran wasn't waiting for anyone. [13:22] Tsu     She had no choice but     to cling to her dreams. [13:31] Gramp     Shigeshige-sama! [13:32] Gramp     Please reconsider! [13:35] Gramp     Those people are Princess     Soyo's friends! [13:38] Gramp     If you must punish someone, [13:41] Gramp     please slice off my ass instead! [13:44] Shogun     Calm down, Grampy. [13:46] Shogun     My uncle was the one     who saw what happened. [13:48] Shogun     I know nothing. [13:50] Gramp     But you're the only     one who can stop him! [13:54] Sada     There's no need to worry. [13:57] Sada     They are murderers. [14:00] Sada     Or are you saying that I'm lying? [14:05] Gramp     B-By no means... [14:09] Sada     Get some rest, Shigeshige-san. [14:11] Sada     This old man will take care     of everything for you. [14:18] Kon     Lord Sadasada?! [14:20] Kon     Is that true?! [14:21] Oki     I don't know if it's true,     but that's their story. [14:26] Kon     Toshi! [14:28] Hiji     So what? [14:29] Hiji     Our job is to defend Edo. [14:32] Hiji     It's not our problem if those pigs     want to feed on one another. [14:36] Kon     But if we ignore what's happening, [14:37] ---     we'll be no better than them! [14:40] Hiji     Don't forget that those     pigs are the only reason [14:43] Hiji     we country boys get to play samurai. [14:46] Kon     I'm not interested in being a bogus     samurai that doesn't follow a code! [14:50] Hiji     We have to play bogus samurai     if we want to defend anything! [14:53] Kon     Don't you realize that this is what     we're supposed to be defending! [14:56] Yama     Hey! Hold on! [14:58] Yama     What are you two doing?! [15:03] Gin     Shut up! [15:04] Gin     I can't get any sleep, you bastards! [15:09] Kag     Soyo-chan! [15:11] Gin     Is she going to save us while     those fools are fighting? [15:14] Soyo     Um, I was having trouble     falling asleep all by myself. [15:18] Soyo     Can I sleep out here? [15:21] Soyo     I'd gotten used to Nobume-san     sleeping with me, [15:24] ---     so I was too scared to fall asleep. [15:26] Shin     Uh, we're the ones who should     be too scared to fall asleep. [15:29] Soyo     I'm a little nervous since this     is almost like a sleepover. [15:32] Shin     Uh, we're the ones who     should be nervous. [15:34] Shin     We're going to be executed tomorrow. [15:36] Soyo     Don't worry. [15:37] Soyo     Grampy will prove your innocence. [15:40] Soyo     If you still can't fall asleep... [15:43] Soyo     I know! [15:44] Soyo     I can tell you some bedtime stories [15:47] ---     that Grampy told me when I was little. [15:49] Soyo     They're so boring that you'll     fall asleep in no time. [15:52] Soyo     Um... [15:53] Soyo     Long, long ago... [15:55] Shin     How boring do you expect it to be?! [15:57] Shin     That's rude! [15:58] Soyo     Long, long ago, there was     a lord and his retainer. [16:04] Soyo     The lord's wife was the most     beautiful princess in the land, [16:08] Soyo     and she cared about him very much. [16:11] Soyo     But the lord used the     princess's feelings, [16:14] Soyo     threw her in prison, and forced      her to do terrible things. [16:19] Soyo     The princess could only cry     in her prison every night. [16:23] Soyo     The retainer felt sorry for the princess     and often came to wipe her tears. [16:30] Soyo     Yes, for he had fallen in     love with the princess. [16:37] Soyo     However... [16:39] Sada     Dispose of Suzuran. [16:42] Soyo     The retainer would be     killed if he didn't obey. [16:44] Soyo     But he couldn't bring himself     to kill the woman he loved. [16:49] Soyo     Instead, they made a promise. [16:52] Soyo     They would escape together. [16:54] Soyo     "I will take you with me on the     night of the next full moon." [16:58] Soyo     And then they exchanged a pinky swear. [17:02] Soyo     But he never returned, [17:07] Soyo     for the lord already knew about them. [17:09] Sada     How long will Suzuran wait for you, [17:14] Sada     a man who's long forgotten his promise? [17:18] Sada     The woman will wait for     the rest of her life [17:20] ---     for a man who will never come, [17:21] Sada     while the man will live     the rest of his life [17:24] ---     with the pain of breaking his promise. [17:27] Sada     A beautiful story, yes? [17:30] Soyo     If the retainer were to go see the     princess, she would be killed. [17:33] Soyo     Their promise was transformed     into a chain heavier than death. [17:37] Soyo     So he swore to himself. [17:39] Soyo     It didn't matter how many     full moons came and went. [17:42] Soyo     It didn't matter if they     were covered in wrinkles. [17:46] Soyo     It didn't matter if the     princess forgot about him. [17:49] Soyo     He would live until the day he met her. [17:52] Soyo     And so, he continues to live by     crawling on his three limbs. [17:58] Sada     Maizo, I heard something     fascinating that [18:01] ---     I wanted to pass on to you. [18:03] Sada     Suzuran is still living in Yoshiwara. [18:06] Sada     But she won't survive much longer. [18:09] Sada     Do you wish to see her? [18:11] Sada     How many full moons have come and gone? [18:14] Sada     I suppose it's time to forgive you. [18:17] Sada     I'll let you go see her. [18:19] Sada     Take responsibility for inviting     those criminals into the palace. [18:24] Sada     Disembowel yourself. [18:26] Sada     Suzuran will be waiting     for you in hell. [18:30] Soyo     And the princess and retainer were... [18:33] Tsu     Stop. [18:35] Tsu     We've heard enough, Your Highness. [18:37] Soyo     You weren't able to fall asleep? [18:39] Gin     No. [18:40] Gin     We already know the rest of the story. [18:44] Shin     Can you open the door     now, Your Highness? [18:47] Soyo     Huh? How? [18:48] Kag     Over there. [18:50] Kag     They were tossed in when you entered. [18:56] Kon     What are you waiting for? [18:58] Kon     Come out here. It's time     for your execution. [19:01] Kon     Put on your execution clothes. [19:08] Oki     Boss, don't forget you     have an appointment [19:10] ---     with the executioner's block. [19:11] Oki     Make sure you come back     with your head attached [19:15] Oki     since we'll need to chop it off. [19:16] Hiji     Try to commit a crime that's     worthy of this punishment. [19:20] Hiji     What crime will you be guilty of? [19:23] Gin     The crime of [19:25] Gin     ripping off a lord's     topknot down there. [19:28] Kon     This may be the last     time we send him off. [19:33] Nobu     The same goes for you. [19:35] Nobu     Now that you've sided with     us, there's no turning back. [19:38] Hiji     Don't worry about that. [19:40] Hiji     If you cause an uproar, that old man     will start to show his true colors. [19:45] Hiji     Once there's no one left to     interfere, we'll grill him good. [19:50] Oki     So you can go die in peace. [19:53] Oki     Or do you want me to dispatch you now, [19:58] Oki     murderer? [20:05] Nobu     Remember this. [20:07] Nobu     You have no allies in this palace. [20:11] Nobu     If you aren't prepared to take over     this country, you'll all die. [20:14] Nobu     The only difference is that [20:16] ---     you'll be eliminated by     that old man instead of me. [20:19] Nobu     If you want to join in the     battle for this nation, [20:22] Nobu     forget about anything     being black or white. [20:28] Sada     What's going on? [20:30] Sada     Are there more bandits about? [20:40] Gin     Zura would love to see this. [20:45] Gin     Who would have thought we'd be trying [20:47] ---     to seize this country for     the sake of an old woman? [20:50] Shin     This makes us wanted criminals.
