[00:00] Jinkuro
    You guys have really done it this time.
[00:03] Jinkuro
    Running amok in Chinatown
    in broad daylight like that...
[00:06] Jinkuro
    The magistrate won't stop yelling
[00:08] Jinkuro
    about the ribenji-ya needing
    their heads lopped off and hung up.
[00:12] Yuen
    And we're supposedly
    responsible for all of it?
[00:15] Jinkuro
    All thanks to a hot tip from everyone's
    favorite trade union rep, Shishido-sama.
[00:21] Jinkuro
    Aided by Kurima Raizo,
    you guys swiped the Satsuma opium,
[00:26] Jinkuro
    then wiped out the Qing emissaries,
    led by Liu, who'd been sent to retrieve it.
[00:34] Yuen
    I'm surprised they want
    to cover it up so hastily.
[00:37] Yuen
    Chinatown is under the
    Nagasaki Trade Union's supervision.
[00:40] Yuen
    This incident ultimately
    tarnishes their reputation.
[00:45] Yuen
    Wouldn't that motivate them
    to find the true culprit?
[00:49] Jinkuro
    And yet, they're still dead set on
    saying it was you guys who did it.
[00:55] Jinkuro
    Why do you suppose that is?
[00:58] Yuen
    The union knows who's responsible.
[01:04] Jinkuro
    Come on, man. You're sharper than that.
[01:07] Yuen
    Then it was the Nagasaki Trade Union
    who killed Liu and attacked Chinatown.
[01:15] Jinkuro
    That's more like it.
[01:17] Yuen
    Liu was a Qing agent sent here
    on a mission to dispose of opium.
[01:22] Yuen
    Opium that should also pose a threat
    to the union's operations. So why?
[01:27] Jinkuro
    Well, it's not like they had
    a meeting and all agreed on it.
[01:30] Jinkuro
    There's a loose cannon in the mix.
[01:35] Yuen
    Shishido Saimon-sama,
    the union's general overseer.
[01:40] Jinkuro
    Yep. That bastard said he was gonna bite
    gold for the sake of the folks in Chinatown.
[01:47] Jinkuro
    And he did just that.
[01:50] Jinkuro
    Seems Shishido wants to get in
     good with that foreign priest,
[01:53] Jinkuro
    while cutting the rest of you off.
[01:56] Jinkuro
    Play it cool if you want,
[01:59] Jinkuro
    but you might wanna think about
    what to do with yourself.
[02:03] Jinkuro
    I can always hook you up
    with a job waving a jitte around.
[02:07] Jinkuro
    I'd have your back then.
[02:10] Yuen
    I'm barely able to deal
    with all the odd jobs in town.
[02:14] Yuen
    I'm afraid assisting you would be beyond me.
[02:18] Jinkuro
    Gotta be stubborn, huh?
[02:23] Yuen
    As the general overseer of the trade union,
    he's positioned to take over someday.
[02:29] Yuen
    Why would he do all this?
[02:30] Jinkuro
    He had Sakata gunning for me, too.
[02:35] Jinkuro
    On top of supplying him with opium.
[02:37] Jinkuro
    I thought he was a rich
    little shit playing with fire,
[02:40] Jinkuro
    running a side hustle to make a bit extra...
[02:42] Jinkuro
    But I was wrong.
[02:45] Jinkuro
    Maybe it's time the Pajama Police
    thought about hanging up our robes.
[02:50] Jinkuro
    Because this son of a bitch is serious about
    turning Nagasaki into one big opium den.
[02:56] Yuen
    But why?
[02:57] Jinkuro
    Hell if I know.
[03:02] Yuen
    I suppose we'll just have
    to go find out, then.
[04:48] Hana
    Hey, Soji!
[04:49] Hana
    It's too late to be making so much...
[04:52] Hana
    What happened here?
[04:57] Soji
    Slippery bastard.
[04:59] Raizo
    It seems they do know where we live.
[05:01] Soji
    Well, they did see our faces.
[05:04] Raizo
    What now?
[05:05] Soji
    I'm not going back there for a while.
    You find somewhere to hide out, too.
[05:09] Soji
    We don't wanna drag Hana's family into this.
SIGN    Episode 10
[05:21] Merchant A
    I must say, this is rather, uh...
[05:26] Shishido
    A piece from the renowned Tenzan-sensei.
[05:30] Shishido
    I would like to spend today
    remembering him with all of you.
[05:33] Merchant A
    Remembering? I had no idea he'd died.
[05:38] Merchant B
    From what I heard, his wife passed away,
    and the grief drove him to opium.
[05:44] Merchant C
    Stop that. Those are just rumors.
[05:46] Shishido
    Before his passing, Sensei gave form
     to the ephemeral nature of man.
[05:53] Merchant A
    I see! When you put it in those terms,
    this piece is quite thought-provoking.
[06:01] Merchant B
    I'm sure his surviving family is honored
    to have your patronage, Shishido-sama.
[06:05] Shishido
    Unfortunately, Tenzan-sensei was only able
    to finish the cup portion before he passed.
[06:11] Shishido
    What do you say, Usui-sama?
[06:13] Shishido
    Perhaps you could adorn it with your lacquer.
[06:18] Merchant C
    Usui-sama's touch... for this?
[06:20] Merchant B
    I see!
[06:22] Shishido
    With the addition of your gifts, I'm sure
    Sensei's work can become truly everlasting.
[06:32] Yuen
    I appreciate you inviting me here today,
[06:36] Yuen
    but I must humbly decline.
[06:43] Shishido
    I thought only your work would
    be a match for this teacup...
[06:50] Shishido
    May I ask why?
[06:52] Yuen
    I don't believe this piece turned out
    the way Tenzan-sensei wanted it to.
[06:57] Yuen
    As a fellow artist in pursuit of expression,
[07:00] Yuen
    I do not wish to expose it
     to greater scrutiny.
[07:04] Shishido
    You say that, but there is no shortage of
    works decried by their makers as failures,
[07:08] Shishido
    only for them to later
    be reappraised as fine art.
[07:15] Yuen
    And you believe this to be such a piece?
[07:16] Shishido
    Yes. I dare say that Sensei was born for
    the purpose of giving birth to this work.
[07:28] Merchant C
    P-Putting that aside for a moment...
[07:30] Merchant C
    Is that by the artist
    everyone's been talking about?
[07:33] Shishido
    Yes. It was quite difficult to actually get
     my hands on it, but isn't it something?
[07:40] Merchant A
    The rumors don't do him justice.
[07:42] Merchant B
    It's like the living image of someone.
[07:45] Shishido
    Though I must say...
[07:46] Shishido
    Whoever had this artist take up
     a brush must be truly cruel.
[07:52] Yuen
    What do you mean?
[07:54] Shishido
    I believe the girl depicted here
     is no longer among the living.
[07:56] Signature Sign
    Taishin
[08:00] Shishido
    I can feel the despair and self-condemnation
     that comes from letting a loved one die,
[08:05] Shishido
    as if this was painted by
    cutting away at one's own flesh.
[08:10] Yuen
    People deal with their
    grief in different ways.
[08:14] Yuen
    I'd wager that, for this artist, Taishin,
    creating art is his method for doing so.
[08:20] Shishido
    In that case, I can't wait to see more from him.
[08:25] Shishido
    If he can reproduce the image
    of a lost one so clearly,
[08:30] Shishido
    it must be akin to perpetually
    losing that person over and over.
[08:35] Shishido
    I wonder what will become of this artist.
[08:40] Yuen
    If he's able to keep confronting his grief
     without turning away from it,
[08:46] Yuen
    in time, I'm sure it will be his salvation.
[08:49] Shishido
    Would that be like a ray of light clearing
    away the clouds of grief around his art?
[08:58] Shishido
    How dreadfully dull.
[09:00] Shishido
    If salvation brings about such a pedestrian
     turn, this creator has no need of it.
[09:06] Shishido
    Infinite suffering capable of
    shattering the body and mind
[09:09] Shishido
    would be much more valuable.
[09:12] Shishido
    I'm certain that would create much finer art.
[09:19] Teppa
    It's only just healed, all right?
    So don't push yourself too hard.
[09:24] Construction worker
    Thanks for everything.
[09:38] Teppa
    Well, time for supper.
[09:49] Nio
    Hey, you making the same thing again?
[09:52] Soji
    Aw, c'mon, Doc. I'm impressed you can
    make a meal out of a single daikon radish,
[09:57] Soji
    but it wouldn't hurt to spice it up with
    a whole sea bream or something, y'know?
[10:02] Teppa
    Sorry, did I adopt you two at some point?
[10:06] Soji
    What do you want from me? These guys
     could attack my place at any minute.
[10:10] Soji
    Can you imagine if they lit that tiny
    room in the middle of town on fire?
[10:14] Soji
    Even that hulking frame
    of yours would get cooked.
[10:17] Nio
    That about covers it. Plus, Raizo spends
    all day scowling blankly up at Yuen's place.
[10:23] Nio
    I don't wanna hang around there.
[10:25] Teppa
    Then could you at least help out a little?
[10:29] Soji
    Sorry, but I ain't what you'd call "educated."
     Western medicine goes right over my head.
[10:34] Nio
    I'm great at killing people,
    but fixing them up? Nah.
[10:39] Nio
    Hey, aren't there any new revenge jobs?
[10:44] Soji
    'Course there ain't. We picked a
    fight with the Chapel, remember?
[10:49] Teppa
    I'm not so sure about that. Usui-kun should
     be visiting the Chapel right about now.
[10:54] Teppa
    Depending on how it goes,
    he might return with a gold coin.
[10:58] Soji
    The boss is doing what?!
[10:59] Soji
    He's going to the Chapel? Alone?!
[11:02] Teppa
    With the Liu matter more or less settled,
     he has to go report in about it.
[11:08] Teppa
    As well as return the oban gold.
[11:11] Soji
    If it was that easy, would we
    really be in a situation this hairy?!
[11:15] Soji
    How do we know he's even
    gonna come back alive?
[11:19] Teppa
    We don't.
[11:20] Soji
    What the hell?
[11:22] Soji
    And you just let him go?
[11:25] Nio
    What else could he do? You know
     Yuen doesn't take no for an answer.
[11:29] Soji
    Damn it!
[11:31] Nio
    Hey! What's the big idea?!
[11:33] Teppa
    Where are you going? Food's almost done.
[11:36] Soji
    Ain't got much of an appetite.
[11:38] Teppa
    The best thing we can do right now is wait.
     For the time being, at least.
[11:45] Nio
    Soji, where are you going?
[11:47] Soji
    To the damn gambling den!
    I'm too worked up for much else!
[11:51] Nio
    Didn't you just say these guys
    could attack at any time?
[11:54] Soji
    Shut it!
[11:55] Soji
    Times like these, you need to
    check how your luck's working!
[12:07] Gerald
    The failed revenge against Liu Wen-Lin was
    not what I have come to expect from you.
[12:13] Gerald
    That said, the ultimate
    outcome was a suitable one,
[12:19] Gerald
    so perhaps this, too, is God's will.
[12:22] Gerald
    Which is why I am willing to
    overlook what has happened.
[12:27] Yuen
    Liu's aim wasn't to bring opium
     into Nagasaki, but to remove it.
[12:34] Yuen
    An emissary from Qing charged
    with the eradication of opium...
[12:38] Yuen
    I must ask: what reason was there
    for him to be a target for revenge?
[12:44] Gerald
    All that glitters is the
    gold of a bitten koban.
[12:48] Gerald
    You know better than to probe too deeply.
[12:53] Yuen
    I met with a man named Shishido Saimon.
[12:56] Gerald
    Hm... I believe he is the general overseer
     of the Nagasaki Trade Union, yes?
[13:03] Yuen
    You're not acquainted with him?
[13:05] Gerald
    That's rather a sudden accusation.
[13:08] Gerald
    What makes you think so?
[13:11] Yuen
    There's something I've been wondering.
[13:15] Yuen
    Why would a piece of gold left behind
    by our brethren at Shimabara
[13:18] Yuen
    not bear the teeth marks of a vendetta?
[13:22] Yuen
    And Shishido Saimon feels no grudge.
    No rage. And no hatred, for that matter.
[13:28] Yuen
    All he feels is twisted pleasure
    at seeing people's lives disrupted.
[13:34] Yuen
    Neither he nor those who disgrace
    themselves as his followers
[13:39] Yuen
    could sink their corrupt teeth
[13:41] Yuen
    into this piece of gold, the embodiment
     of the faithful who died for their beliefs.
[13:48] Gerald
    I have taught you that such impertinence
    only serves to distance you from true faith.
[13:56] Gerald
    Close your eyes, my child.
    You should be able to feel it.
[14:01] Gerald
    The vendetta of those who died in the
    flames clings to that coin even now.
[14:07] Yuen
    With Liu gone, Shishido will move to begin
    distributing the opium Matsumine purchased.
[14:13] Yuen
    Do you believe letting Nagasaki turn into
    Hell is the vengeance this coin pays for?
[14:18] Gerald
    The truly virtuous would never
    succumb to the temptation of opium.
[14:26] Gerald
    Indeed, it may even be that Shishido's
    very machinations are the will of God above.
[14:34] Gerald
    For the Lord's judgment can be harsh.
[14:38] Gerald
    If Japan can plunge into the inferno
    due to the influence of opium,
[14:43] Gerald
    it only means this nation has sinned
    enough to deserve such a fate.
[14:48] Yuen
    There is no doubt that men sin easily.
[14:51] Yuen
    But it is for that very reason
    that God sent His only son to us.
[14:55] Yuen
    And those who exist
    beyond even that salvation...
[14:58] Yuen
    We revengers serve them.
[15:04] Gerald
    Now that is a most deep-seated vendetta.
[15:08] Yuen
    It is the vendetta Liu incised
     with his final breaths.
[15:11] Yuen
    Against those who deceived him
     and killed his comrades.
[15:15] Yuen
    A grudge against those who toy
    with something as loathsome as opium.
[15:19] Yuen
    How could I, as a revenger, ignore
    the sentiment bitten into this coin?
[15:35] Gerald
    Thy will be done.
[15:40] Raizo
    Shishido Saimon...
[15:43] Raizo
    He is the one responsible for Liu's demise?
[15:46] Yuen
    Not only that, but he stole
    Matsumine Jonoshin's opium,
[15:50] Yuen
    and is on the verge of
    distributing it around Nagasaki.
[15:54] Raizo
    I was never fully convinced of the purpose
    behind being a revenger until today.
[16:02] Raizo
    But if I had never met you,
[16:05] Raizo
    I would have died without knowing
    the truth of the crime I had committed.
[16:13] Raizo
    You have my gratitude.
[16:15] Yuen
    You were the one who
    followed the thread of karma.
[16:19] Raizo
    If nothing else, it is the duty of
    this foolish samurai, Kurima Raizo,
[16:23] Raizo
    to ensure that this is all brought to an end,
     even at the cost of his own life.
[16:30] Yuen
    But what happens after?
[16:32] Raizo
    I shall do the noble thing
     and disembowel myself.
[16:37] Raizo
    Though I doubt my father-in-law or Yui
    would accept me dying like a samurai.
[16:45] Yuen
    You have another name.
[16:49] Yuen
    That of the artist, Taishin.
[16:53] Raizo
    True.
[16:55] Raizo
    One that forces me to confront the crimes
    I committed for as long as my life continues.
[17:01] Raizo
    That may be a better fit for me.
[17:06] Yuen
    If you intend to come
    into your own as an artist,
[17:09] Yuen
    you may need a wider
    variety of subject matter.
[17:12] Raizo
    That is not possible.
[17:14] Raizo
    Not yet, at least.
[17:17] Raizo
    But perhaps one day...
    someday far from now...
[17:23] Raizo
    Yui may smile for me.
[17:34] Soji
    Hey, what's going on?
    Things are awful lively in here.
[17:37] Dealer a
    She floated in here and asked to give it
    a try, but she's got a real knack for it.

[19:39] Soji
    Can it! You guys were just
    waiting to ride my coattails!
[19:43] Soji
    What kinda gamblers are you?!
[19:44] Gambler A
    Say what?!
[19:50] Soji
    What the hell was that?
[19:52] Soji
    Why's the nun from the Chapel
    throwing the bones at a dice game?
[19:59] Soji
    Did something happen to Boss Usui?
[20:02] Nun
    You were on such a roll. What's the problem?
[20:07] Nun
    Did you drop the tools of your trade?
[20:10] Nun
    Then why don't I...
[20:12] Nun
    give you mine?
[20:14] Soji
    What are you doing?!
[20:27] Soji
    Damn. Of all the cheap little tricks...
[20:32] Nun
    How lucky you are.
[20:34] Nun
    Keep this up, and in a month,
    you'll have made a fortune.
[20:38] Soji
    Gimme those back, damn it!
[20:41] Soji
    What the hell are you doing?!
[20:55] Soji
    So a nun from the Chapel's here
    just to make me look a fool?!
[21:00] Nun
    Consider it a deposit.
[21:01] Soji
    For what?
[21:03] Soji
    If this is the usual business,
    just hand some bitten gold to the boss!
[21:07] Nun
    That's not an option anymore.
[21:09] Soji
    Don't tell me...
[21:11] Soji
    Is the boss...
[21:12] Nun
    That will depend on you.
[21:15] Nun
    Why does Usui Yuen harbor Kurima Raizo?
[21:18] Soji
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[21:20] Nun
    Don't play dumb.
[21:22] Nun
    Kurima Raizo was supposed to have been
    killed at Tsurumaru Castle Town in Satsuma.
[21:29] Soji
    Yeah, that's right. But the boss didn't do it.
[21:32] Nun
    Why not?
[21:34] Soji
    How the hell should I know?!
[21:36] Nun
    Then find out. Before every gambling den
     in the city closes its doors to you.
[21:40] Soji
    You want me to snitch for you?
[21:43] Nun
