**[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.
**[17:42] Dealer a**

**[19:31] Dealer u**
What's it gonna be?

**[19:37] Gambler A**
Hey, you gonna just win and run?
**[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**
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?
