[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

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
You already took the money.
[21:45] Soji
You forced it into my hands!
[21:54] Soji
What the hell?
[21:57] Soji
What's going on with the boss
and that bastard, Raizo?
