We will make our departure from here.
[01:20] Minagawa
Be ready to initiate
the plan immediately.
[01:23] Subordinate
We'll need additional men.
[01:25] Minagawa
Make use of Moriya's people.

This is serious.

He may die without aid.

[02:42] Midorikawa
What the...
[02:45] Midorikawa
Shizuma-san?
[02:48] Tanba
I can't believe Officer Makino
was the murderer.
[02:51] Midorikawa
I don't believe it. Why would he?
[02:54] Shizuma
I haven't gotten much out of him yet.
[02:57] Shizuma
Let me be present at the interrogation.
[03:01] Shizuma
Please.
[03:02] Midorikawa
There's no way we can accommodate that.
[03:04] Tanba
All right.
[03:05] Midorikawa
Chief Inspector Tanba!
[03:07] Shizuma
Thank you.
[03:12] Shizuma
Why did you kill Osanai-san?
[03:16] Makino
To shut him up.
[03:18] Makino
I asked him to help me
kill Shuragami, but he failed.
[03:22] Makino
So I disposed of him
before word could get out.
[03:24] Shizuma
You!
[03:26] Tanba
Why did you target Shuragami?
[03:31] Makino
It was an order.
[03:33] Makino
From the master.
[03:34] Shizuma
The master?
[03:36] Kawaji
So Hiramatsu's people have
infiltrated the police, have they?
[03:40] Shizuma
Chief Superintendent Kawaji.
[03:42] Kawaji
Origasa, you've been hiding
something important, haven't you?
[03:50] Kawaji
It was Kanomata Sumie
who shot Mr. Ohkubo.
[03:55] Kawaji
The fiancée you've been looking for.
[03:59] Shizuma
Yes.
[04:00] Kawaji
All on the orders of Hiramatsu Buhei,
who is plotting to overthrow the government.
[04:06] Shizuma
Hiramatsu Buhei?
[04:09] Shizuma
He's the master?
[04:10] Kawaji
His real name is John Henry Schnell.
[04:13] Kawaji
He is a foreigner who served
as a military adviser in Aizu.
[04:17] Kawaji
Do you not know him?
[04:18] Shizuma
I've heard the name.
[04:21] Kawaji
It seems all of this started
during the Boshin War.
[04:27] Kawaji
Return to the police force,
Origasa Shizuma.
[04:30] Kawaji
Bring closure to your own destiny.
[04:52] Hiramatsu
I am told the castle in Aizu
is to be demolished.
[04:55] Katamori
Such is the nature of the times.
Nothing can change that.
[04:59] Hiramatsu
When I close my eyes,
I can still recall the beauty of Aizu.
[05:05] Hiramatsu
Under your rule, the people were
cheerful and smiling, even in poverty.
[05:11] Hiramatsu
They were disciplined and proud.
[05:14] Hiramatsu
I felt I had found an ideal,
peaceful way of life,
[05:17] Hiramatsu
free from the money worship that
has driven the west to insanity.
[05:22] Katamori
A phantom of a time long past.
[05:25] Katamori
The Aizu warrior is all but dead.
[05:28] Hiramatsu
But you live on! As do I!
[05:30] Hiramatsu
In the name of modernization,
[05:34] Hiramatsu
this country abandons its traditions
and blindly imitates the West.
[05:39] Hiramatsu
My lord, I ask you to stand up and
take back the proud world of the samurai.
[05:45] Hiramatsu
That is the only way we can bring
justice to the deceased of Aizu.
[06:00] Minagawa
I have returned.
[06:02] Hiramatsu
I hear you were attacked
by Shuragami Kyoushirou.
[06:06] Minagawa
The materials have been transported
to a secondary departure point.
[06:09] Minagawa
Our plans remain unaffected.
[06:11] Minagawa
We are about to begin
our final preparations.
[06:15] Hiramatsu
Ohkubo appears to have fallen for our
false information and called for Saigou.
[06:21] Minagawa
If only he'd known that would be the spark
that starts a rebellion of the former samurai.
[06:27] Hiramatsu
So it finally begins.
[06:38] Girl
Hurry!
[06:54] Minagawa
What are you ruminating on?
[06:58] Hinazuru
Have I really been doing the right thing?
[07:04] Minagawa
Exacting revenge on those who razed
your home and killed your fiancé?
[07:11] Hinazuru
He's alive.
[07:14] Hinazuru
Shizuma-san is alive.
[07:18] Hinazuru
I was about to shoot him
with my own hands.
[07:21] Minagawa
Surely not.
[07:23] Minagawa
That was him?
[07:35] Genjou
This is all we have left.
[07:37] Genjou
Not very reassuring.
[07:41] Genjou
Dario will no longer be able to fight.
[07:44] Kyoushirou
He has already done
more than enough for us.
[07:48] Kyoushirou
Let's bring Dario back to El Dorado.
[07:54] Ohkubo
We would like your help in quelling the
increasing discontent among former samurai.
[08:01] Saigou
Looks like ya can't have a working
government without me around, huh?
[08:04] Saigou
One word from the great Saigou and
the samurai will fall right back in line.
[08:12] Saigou
But first, I'm gonna have
to shave this unruly beard.
[08:25] Dario
Where are Kyoushirou-sama
and Grampa Genjou?
[08:29] Fujita
The old geezer's gone
to look for medicine.
[08:32] Fujita
Shuragami said something about
procuring a ship. They'll be back.
[08:37] Dario
A ship?
[08:51] Senri
Looks like you managed to sneak in.
[08:54] Fujita
If you're looking for the gold,
don't bother.
[08:57] Fujita
It doesn't exist.
[08:59] Senri
Oh? Then why are you still
traveling with Shuragami?
[09:02] Fujita
I have other business with him.
[09:04] Senri
Uh-huh.
[09:06] Senri
Well, suit yourself.
[09:09] Fujita
What is that?
[09:10] Senri
I got information on a plot
that could spark a revolution.
[09:14] Senri
You can have it.
[09:17] Fujita
Why are you giving this to me?
[09:18] Senri
You're with the police, aren't you?
[09:20] Senri
Besides...
[09:22] Senri
I always repay my debts.
[09:25] Fujita
Is this true?
[09:28] Senri
You should go tell the
Chief Superintendent quickly.
[09:39] Senri
He heard us.
[09:40] Fujita
I am surprised he can still move.
[09:41] Senri
It's two-on-one, and he's missing an arm.
We'll be fine if we take him on together.
[09:45] Fujita
One of us will have an arrow in their head.
[09:47] Senri
Just luck of the draw, I suppose.
[09:51] Fujita
A messenger arrow.
[09:52] Senri
We have to hurry.
[09:54] Fujita
I will draw his attention.
[09:55] Fujita
You take him out.
[09:59] Fujita
Now!
[10:05] Fujita
Tch.
[10:10] Fujita
Too slow.
[10:13] Genjou
What an odd situation.
[10:16] Dario
He's a police spy!
[10:18] Genjou
My word.
[10:19] Kyoushirou
Oh?
[10:21] Kyoushirou
I thought you were a wolf.
[10:24] Kyoushirou
But it looks like you're a dog.
[10:35] Kyoushirou
Farewell.
[10:48] Dario
I can still fight.
[10:51] Dario
We'll stay together to the end.
[10:53] Kyoushirou
Fine.
[10:55] Kyoushirou
Do as you wish.
[11:01] Genjou
And what is this?
[11:13] Fujita
I thought you had run away.
[11:16] Senri
You survived an arrow to the chest.
[11:18] Senri
You sure are stubborn one.
[11:20] Fujita
He drew this arrow with his mouth.
It couldn't have reached my heart.

For your courageous and selfless

of Officer Osanai's murderer,
[11:37] Kawaji
I hereby approve of your return to the

Officer Origasa is hereby awarded
special permission to bear a sword.
[11:53] Shizuma
A sword?
[11:54] Kawaji
We intend to grant all first-rank

[11:59] Kawaji
You will be the first among them.
[12:03] Kawaji
You will work hard, diligently, and
without rest as a defender of the state.

Sir!
[12:13] Koto
You've made it big.
[12:17] Shizuma
And now it's back to not drinking anymore.
[12:21] Koto
Are you going to arrest your fiancée?
[12:24] Shizuma
I will do it myself,
before someone else arrests her.
[12:30] Koto
Will you slay her?
[12:43] Koto
I think I will head back to my hometown.
[12:47] Koto
My only purpose here was
to participate in the Gekkenkai.
[12:50] Koto
I've stayed longer than I intended.
[12:54] Koto
Here is a gift for my unworthy student.
[12:59] Koto
Use it to cut through your hesitation.
[13:01] Koto
Or to protect those dear to you.
[13:04] Koto
Either way, put it to good use.
[13:22] Senri
Did you find what I asked you for?
[13:24] McCaulay
About the Tenryumaru, you mean?
[13:26] McCaulay
It seems to be a ferry that travels between
Tokyo and Ezo carrying local wares.
[13:33] Senri
Ezo?
[13:34] McCaulay
I've written the details here.
[13:38] Senri
Could you deliver this

Please and thank you.

Hurry... Inform the Chief Superintendent.
[13:59] Fujita
Beware... Beware the skies.
[14:21] Kawaji
We have received
information about a plot
[14:24] Kawaji
by Hiramatsu Buhei and his men
to overthrow the government.
[14:27] Kawaji
We will commence a full search of
the mountains in which he resides,
[14:31] Kawaji
as well as the residences of the Moriya Clan,
who have been cooperating with him.

As agents of justice, I request that
you zealously carry out your duties.

Where is Moriya Ryuuzou?
[14:59] Henchman
He's not here.
[15:02] Moriya

to stand right in the middle of this nation.
[15:07] Moriya
Get your heads in it!
[15:10] All
Yeah!

A little early to celebrate, no?
[15:14] Minagawa
We have an important mission coming up.

Don't be so stiff. It's a pre-celebration.

Please restrain yourself.

Drop your weapon and
surrender yourself!

I don't see your boss around.
[17:21] Kyoushirou
Has he left his henchmen
to do all the dirty work?
[17:24] Togura
Shut up, traitor!
[17:25] Togura
The boss is sitting ready with the
hooded master in our main base!

So he's here, is he?

Leave this to me. I'll catch up.

Right.

Hold it!
[18:22] Genjou
You're staying here.
[18:39] Gen'nosuke
What is that uniform?
[18:41] Gen'nosuke
Where did you leave your Aizu pride?
[18:44] Gen'nosuke
Shame on you, Shizuma.
[18:48] Shizuma
Gen'nosuke?
[19:17] Genjou
Impossible.
[19:19] Genjou
You were being made to witness hell.
How can you still be sane?
[19:24] Shizuma
I've seen it in

[20:31] Servant
Letters for you.
[20:34] Parkes
It is from Mycroft back home.
[20:37] Miller
Your friend?
[20:39] Parkes
A fellow member of the Diogenes Club.
[20:42] Miller
Ah, your riddle friend.
[20:45] Parkes
It must be his answer to
the riddle I sent him before.
[20:50] Parkes
And this seems to be
a report from Miss Kurogi.
[21:00] Parkes
Perfect. Let's compare answers.
[21:07] Miller
"Dear Mr. Parkes,"
[21:09] Miller
"I thank you for your
fascinating questions."
[21:12] Miller
"They were difficult, but I have completed
them in full. Here are my answers."
[21:17] Miller
"The mystery of the moon disappearing
followed by a downpour of wooden carp."
[21:22] Miller
"Both are the doings of someone
with a specific purpose."
[21:31] Miller
"On the first question
regarding the moon:"
[21:34] Miller
"Something simply obstructed
the moon from view."
[21:41] Miller
"And that something would be a balloon."
[22:02] Miller
"Regarding the second mystery
of the carp falling from the sky:"
[22:07] Miller
"they were dropped from these balloons."
[22:12] Miller
Why would they do such a thing?
[22:15] Parkes
According to Miss Kurogi's report,
[22:18] Parkes
the balloons were flown at night
to test their flight discreetly.
[22:24] Parkes
But at night, it is difficult to accurately
determine the flight path of the balloons.
[22:30] Parkes
Therefore, they dropped the carp
at regular intervals to pick up later,
[22:37] Parkes
so they could see where they flew.
[22:45] Miller
"Why, then, did they choose wooden carp,
out of all the things they could have used?"
[22:51] Miller
"Someone involved in this plan must
have a particular fondness for carp."
[22:58] Miller
"On this point, I asked my brother,
who is rather knowledgeable about Japan."
[23:04] Miller
"He explained that someone
who raises koi as a hobby,"
[23:08] Miller
"or who has a koi tattoo
must be involved."
[23:10] Parkes
According to Miss Kurogi, Moriya Ryuuzou,
who is involved in the plan,
[23:15] Parkes
has a tattoo of a red dragon.
[23:19] Parkes
A carp climbs a waterfall
to become a dragon.
[23:22] Parkes
Though the plan is a secret one,
Moriya Ryuuzou, being an attention seeker,
[23:28] Parkes
must have used a symbol
that represented him.
[23:32] Parkes
That is how Miss Kurogi sees it.
[23:53] Kyoushirou
Tch.
[23:55] Miller
"I conclude that this incident is a dry run for
a planned attack to be carried out at night."
[24:10] Midorikawa
Wh-What the...
[24:15] Shizuma
What are those?
[24:21] Miller
Where is this place they plan
to attack using balloons?
[24:27] Parkes
"The center of Tokyo and the
holy land of the nation of Japan..."

We will take the Emperor back
from the hands of the villains,

[24:58] Katamori
You think it will work out that easily?

That is not all.

We will inform the public that Saigou's
assassination was the government's doing.

And then, Katamori-sama,

The age of the samurai will begin anew.
