[01:16] Minagawa     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. [01:54] Subordinate     What are you doing there? [01:58] Senri     What are you guys trying to accomplish? SIGN    Episode 9 SIGN    Night     Skies [02:11] Genjou     This is serious. [02:13] Genjou     He may die without aid. [02:17] Kyoushirou     Dario. [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. SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 SIGN    Metropolitan     Police Dept.

[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.

[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     to the British Legation? [13:41] McCaulay     Does this look like a post office? [13:46] Senri     Please and thank you. [13:50] Kikuchi     Officer Fujita, is that true?! [13:52] Kikuchi     Hiramatsu Buhei is     attacking the holy land?! [13:55] Fujita     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. [14:35] Kawaji     As agents of justice, I request that     you zealously carry out your duties. [14:41] All     Sir! [14:57] Officer A     Where is Moriya Ryuuzou?

[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     my nightmares plenty of times. [19:29] Kyoushirou     Genjou! [19:31] Genjou     Stay back! [19:38] Genjou     Kyoushirou. [19:40] Genjou     Achieve your goal. [19:42] Dario     Grampa! [19:46] Genjou     No one is going any further. [19:51] Genjou     This is goodbye. [20:06] Shizuma     That damn idiot. [20:09] Kyoushirou     Origasa Shizuma! [20:12] Shizuma     Shuragami Kyoushirou! [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..." [24:33] Parkes     The Imperial Palace?! SIGN    Imperial     Palace SIGN    Imperial     Palace [24:40] Hiramatsu     The Imperial Palace is said     to be impenetrable, [24:43] Hiramatsu     but it is defenseless     against an attack from the sky. [24:47] Hiramatsu     We will take the Emperor back     from the hands of the villains, [24:50] Hiramatsu     and have him become visual proof     of the righteousness of our rebellion. [24:58] Katamori     You think it will work out that easily? [25:01] Hiramatsu     That is not all. [25:03] Hiramatsu     We will inform the public that Saigou's     assassination was the government's doing. [25:07] Hiramatsu     The blood of former samurai     throughout Japan will boil. [25:11] Hiramatsu     And then, Katamori-sama,     you will emerge with the Emperor, [25:16] Hiramatsu     and guide the infuriated former samurai     to victory over the government! [25:21] Hiramatsu     The age of the samurai will begin anew.
