[01:35] Raizo
    Dejima, the Chinese district,
    the pleasure quarters...
[01:39] Raizo
    Remarkable that it all fits
    into such a small bit of land.
[01:43] Raizo
    I'm curious...
[01:47] Raizo
    What's that?
[01:49] Nio
    Bad news is what it is.
[01:51] Raizo
    People live there?
[01:53] Nio
    It's home to all the people too poor or
    with problems too big to live in the town.
[01:58] Nio
    Come on.
SIGN    Episode 3
[03:33] Kaoya
    Sakata-sama, I swear! It's some
    kind of mistake! I would never—
[03:37] Sakata
    Quiet down. The evidence is all there.
[03:40] Nio
    Think it's a fight?
[03:41] Raizo
    Hey!
[03:42] Sign
    Kao-ya
[03:44] Kaoya
    Sakata-sama...
[03:45] Subordinate A
    Would you settle down already?
[03:47] Kaoya
    I'm begging you! Please...
[03:49] Sakata
    Stay away from me.
[03:53] Sakata
    We know all about how you've
    been smuggling opium,
[03:58] Sakata
    and dealing it to boot.
[04:00] Kaoya
    That's crazy! My shop has
    thrived for four generations!
[04:03] Kaoya
    Why would I touch that dreadful opium?
[04:06] Sakata
    And yet, we have irrefutable evidence.
[04:10] Subordinate B
    Yes, sir.
[04:15] Kaoya
    How could you...
[04:19] Crowd A
    Opium, they said.
[04:20] Crowd B
    The Kao-ya guy's honest and
    devoted to his shop. He'd never...
[04:24] Sakata
    Look here.
[04:25] Sakata
    Opium hidden inside
    a statue of the Buddha...
[04:27] Sakata
    Exactly as your wife described.
[04:31] Kaoya
    My wife?
[04:32] Kaoya
    This can't be! There has to be some mistake!
[04:35] Sakata
    Enough of this. Take him away.
[04:37] Kaoya
    Sakata-sama! What did...
    What did my wife say?!
[04:41] Subordinate A
    Would you pipe down already?
[04:42] Kaoya
    Sakata-sama! Sakata-sama!
[04:45] Sakata
    Question him thoroughly.
[04:46] Crowd C(Woman)
    I heard he got on the
    bad side of the trade union.
[04:49] Crowd D
    Should've kept quiet and paid
    off the magistrate's office.
[04:53] Subordinate D
    What are you people yapping about?!
[04:56] Crowd A
    Yikes, talk about scary.
[04:58] Crowd B (Woman)
    Come on, let's go.
[04:59] Crowd B (Woman)
    Best to let a sleeping Sakata-sama lie.
[05:04] Raizo
    What happened back there?
[05:06] Nio
    What? You really didn't get it?
[05:09] Nio
    That shopkeeper didn't pay them off,
     so they made an example of him.
[05:14] Raizo
    So he's done nothing wrong?
    What kind of samurai would do that?
[05:19] Nio
    You think? Seems pretty nice to me.
[05:23] Raizo
    How so?
[05:24] Nio
    Well, if you pay them off,
    they leave you alone.
[05:27] Nio
    A samurai who'd kill his father
     without asking any questions
[05:31] Nio
    just because he was ordered to
     is way scarier to me.
[05:39] Nio
    Come on. Let's go.
[05:42] Raizo
    Right.
[05:49] Hana
    Soji? Soji! Are you ever gonna wake up?!
[05:57] Soji
    Lay off the knocking...
[05:58] Soji
    Feels like you're doing it on my head.
[06:05] Soji
    Trash draw.
[06:07] Soji
    What's the big deal?
[06:11] Hana
    You stink of booze!
[06:13] Soji
    It's fine. I won big yesterday.
[06:16] Soji
    What's up?
[06:18] Hana
    The other day you said you
    were drinking because you lost.
[06:22] Hana
    You drink if you win, you drink if you lose...
[06:24] Hana
    Well, Big Drinker Soji, you've got a guest.
[06:28] Teppa
    Hey, sorry for the intrusion.
[06:30] Soji
    C'mon, Doc. You can't just
    bust in here unannounced.
[06:34] Hana
    Are you sure you wanna live here?
[06:36] Hana
    You're a samurai.
    Can't you find somewhere nicer?
[06:40] Raizo
    No, I...
[06:42] Raizo
    I'm a ronin.
[06:44] Hana
    Oh, is that right? Well, okay, then.
[06:49] Hana
    I'm Hana.
[06:52] Hana
    I live downstairs with my dad
    and my two little brothers.
[06:54] Hana
    Welcome to the house!
[06:56] Raizo
    Thank you for having me.
[07:02] Hana
    Hey, it's Nio! And Yuen-san!
[07:06] Raizo
    Pardon me.
[07:09] Soji
    Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell is this?!
[07:12] Teppa
    Town's booked to capacity all over.
[07:15] Soji
    You think I don't know that?
[07:17] Soji
    You think I'd be living with
    that noisy brat if I didn't—
[07:21] Soji
    Wait...
[07:22] Soji
    You're sticking me with him?!
[07:24] Teppa
    Yeah. If you'd be so kind...
[07:28] Raizo
    I apologize for the imposition.
[07:31] Soji
    Oh, hell no!
[07:33] Soji
    Why should I have to put up
     with some damn samurai?
[07:36] Teppa
    Well, there's the matter
    of the rent you're behind on.
[07:39] Teppa
    Remind me who's been covering
    for you in the meantime?
[07:47] Soji
    Shit!
[07:51] Yuen
    How'd you find Kurima-san?
[07:53] Nio
    He's boring. I took him all over and
    he was stone-faced the whole time.
[07:57] Nio
    Why'd you let a guy like that join us?
[08:00] Nio
    You know I hate samurai.
[08:03] Yuen
    Kurima-san can't be a samurai anymore.
[08:07] Yuen
    He'll need you and Soji to help
    him find a new way of life.
[08:13] Nio
    Can a samurai even be 
    anything other than a samurai?
[08:17] Yuen
    That depends on him, I'd say.
[08:20] Nio
    Don't dodge the question, Yuen.
[08:23] Nio
    Can a samurai really stop being a samurai?
[08:26] Nio
    Can a killer stop being a killer?
[08:30] Nio
    Can you really change
    your way of life like that?
[08:38] Yuen
    If that were possible...
[08:40] Yuen
    I doubt you and I would be
    having this conversation.
[08:46] Nio
    Well, that's a relief.
[08:49] Nio
    Depending on your answer,
    I might've had to kill you.
[08:53] Nio
    But if that's true, what's the point
    in doing all this stuff for him?
[08:58] Yuen
    Even if he ultimately fails,
[09:01] Yuen
    wouldn't you say there's a big difference
    between aspiring to a different way of life,
[09:05] Yuen
    and dying without ever
    having known another way?
[09:11] Nio
    I'm not sure I follow.
[09:17] Raizo
    Soji-dono.
[09:17] Soji
    Shut up! No talking!
[09:19] Soji
    Listen up! You get that single futon's
    worth of space, and that's it!
[09:24] Soji
    Don't like it? Then haul your ass outta here!
[09:29] Raizo
    Soji-dono.
[09:30] Soji
    What?! You got a problem?!
[09:32] Raizo
    I appreciate your kindness.
[09:37] Soji
    Can't even humor me by biting back...
[10:11] Courtesean A
    Isarizawa-san, your guest...
[10:15] Courtesean A
    He's waiting.
[10:18] Courtesean B
    You can focus all of
    your attention on us later.
[10:22] Jinkuro
    You know what? You're right.
[10:25] Jinkuro
    I'll do just that.
[10:37] Jinkuro
    Sorry for the holdup.
    They were all over me, y'know?
[10:43] Yuen
    It's fine. What can I do for you today?
[10:46] Jinkuro
    Well, I'm sure you remember the murder
    of that Satsuma samurai about a month ago.
[10:54] Jinkuro
    The maniac went and cut down some
    of Satsuma's famously tough guys,
[10:59] Jinkuro
    and the thought that he might
    still be lurking in Nagasaki...
[11:01] Jinkuro
    Well, let me tell you,
    I've been losing sleep over it!
[11:06] Jinkuro
    Hey.
[11:07] Jinkuro Agent
    Sir!
[11:11] Jinkuro Agent
    It is believed that a samurai from Satsuma
    named Kurima Raizo is the killer.
[11:15] Jinkuro Agent
    He was spotted sleeping under
    Amigasa Bridge a month ago,
[11:20] Jinkuro Agent
    but his whereabouts since are unknown.
[11:24] Jinkuro
    There you have it. Know anything?
[11:28] Yuen
    I'm not even sure why you would ask me.
[11:35] Jinkuro
    Is that right?
[11:40] Jinkuro
    The thing is, it's weird how this
    Kurima guy just up and vanished, right?
[11:46] Jinkuro
    Think the locals might be
    helping him to stay hidden?
[11:50] Yuen
    I wouldn't want to venture a guess.
[11:58] Jinkuro
    Well, fair enough. If you say you
    don't know, then you probably don't.
[12:04] Jinkuro
    I'm not sure that bastard, Sakata,
    would believe you, though.
[12:08] Yuen
    Why bring him up?
[12:11] Jinkuro
    Oh, you know how it is.
    He's desperate to make a name for himself.
[12:16] Jinkuro
    No telling what he might do if he
    finds out that Usui the maki-e artist
[12:20] Jinkuro
    was the one who chased
    Musashibou out from under his bridge.
[12:24] Yuen
    It's not very nice of you to
    threaten an unremarkable craftsman
[12:27] Yuen
    like myself in this way, Isarizawa-sama.
[12:30] Jinkuro
    What do you want from me?
[12:32] Jinkuro
    Sakata wants my ass so bad,
    he's gotten into bed with the trade unions.
[12:38] Jinkuro
    And if they get involved, it becomes a lot
    bigger than some beef between the two of us.
[12:45] Yuen
    That certainly sounds dangerous.
[12:48] Jinkuro
    We're not in the magistrate's office.
    The walls don't have ears here.
[12:52] Jinkuro
    So how about we lay it all on the table?
[12:55] Yuen
    I suppose operating out of the
    red-light district instead of a guard post
[12:58] Yuen
    is how you got the nickname
    "The Pajama Police."
[13:02] Jinkuro
    And you're the only one with the guts
    to actually call me that to my face.
[13:07] Jinkuro
    Don't get me wrong. I do show up
    at the office every now and then.
[13:11] Jinkuro
    Hell, I questioned someone Sakata
    dragged in this morning myself.
[13:17] Jinkuro
    And wouldn't you know it?
[13:21] Jinkuro
    He gave me this.
[13:25] Jinkuro
    Can you believe it? Cops can't
    accept things like that. It'd be bribery!
[13:31] Jinkuro
    That said...
[13:34] Jinkuro
    I figure you'll make sure
    it gets where it needs to go.
[13:43] Yuen
    I understand.
[14:13] Nio
    Ugh, there's even more than before.
[14:18] Nio
    Hey, isn't that her?
[14:21] Teppa
    You're the Kao-ya owner's wife, right?
[14:24] Wife
    Did you... bring me some medicine?
[14:29] Teppa
    Your husband has been
     arrested for dealing opium.
[14:35] Wife
    You're the ones who told me
[14:38] Wife
    to hide the opium in the Buddha statue.
[14:42] Wife
    You said you'd give me
     the medicine if I did.
[14:48] Addict Woman
    You work for Sakata-sama, don't you?
[14:52] Addict Woman
    Please give me some, too.
[14:55] Addict Woman
    I did what he asked...
[15:08] Soji
    Of all the dirty, rotten cheats...
[15:11] Soji
    Taking credit for busting people 
    for the opium you're dealing?
[15:15] Teppa
    It'd almost be funny if it
    wasn't actually happening.
[15:19] Soji
    And now that pleasure quarter dweller,
     Isarizawa-sama, drops this guy in our laps
[15:23] Soji
    after letting him run free this whole time.
[15:26] Soji
    Must be a lot of real talented folks
[15:29] Soji
    in the magistrate's office, if they
    can't even clean up their own messes.
[15:34] Nio
    I don't like him, either. He's got pervy eyes.
[15:38] Nio
    Be careful around him, Yuen.
[15:41] Yuen
    Regardless, we have bitten gold here.
[15:44] Yuen
    That means someone must
    undertake this revenge.
[15:48] Raizo
    In that case...
[15:49] Soji
    Tell you what, Boss Usui.
    How about you let me take this one on?
[15:54] Soji
    You're coming too, rookie.
[15:58] Soji
    Rotten or not, these guys are still samurai.
[16:01] Soji
    I figure you'll know what to expect.
[16:04] Soji
    Or would you rather not kill your own?
[16:08] Raizo
    No, it's fine. Sakata and I have both
    strayed from what a samurai is meant to be.
[16:27] Nio
    Five.
[16:29] Soji
    There you have it.
[16:31] Soji
    Probably an easy gig for a
    big-shot Satsuma samurai, right?
[16:37] Soji
    Oh, c'mon. Say something, would you?
[16:40] Soji
    Man, the thought of having to stare at your
     grim mug every day from now on kills me.
[16:46] Raizo
    I can leave the lodgings if you wish me to go.
[16:49] Soji
    Don't be stupid. You think
    I wanna get chewed out by the doc?
[16:54] Soji
    Besides, I ain't big on charity, even after
    I've been robbed blind on a bad bet.
[16:59] Raizo
    What else can be done, then?
[17:01] Soji
    Isn't it obvious? We settle
    things the old-fashioned way.
[17:05] Soji
    We'll gamble the room on tonight's job.
[17:09] Soji
    Whoever gets the most kills keeps the room.
[17:14] Soji
    How about it? Collecting heads
    is a samurai pastime, ain't it?
[17:19] Raizo
    If that's how you want to handle things.
[17:23] Soji
    Then it's settled.
[17:28] Soji
    Sadly for you, I've got a great draw.
[17:30] Soji
    That means luck's on my side.
[17:39] Soji
    That oughta light enough of a fire
     under him to make this easy.
[17:43] Soji
    Everyone knows these Satsuma guys
    are like charging bulls.
[17:47] Soji
    He's bound to charge right in,
    screaming at the top of his lungs again,
[17:51] Soji
    and he'll nail the first guy, but then
    get totally surrounded by the rest,
[17:57] Soji
    turning him into the barrel that'll
    make shooting these fish easy.
[18:03] Soji
    Something this easy is more like
    a nap in the park than a walk.
[18:19] Soji
    Wait, what?!
[18:21] Soji
    Since when did he have
    slick moves like that?!
[18:32] Subordinate C
    Hey, what is it?
[18:34] Subordinate B
    I could've sworn I just...
[18:40] Subordinate B
    Hey—
[18:48] Soji
    That's two for me.
[18:53] Soji
    Damn, we're even again.
[19:05] Sakata
    Hey, where have you all gone?
[19:08] Sakata
    Answer me.
[19:13] Sakata
    An intruder?
[19:20] Sakata
    You're no mere bandit.
[19:23] Sakata
    Sent by someone, most likely.
[19:56] Soji
    Looks like I win.
[19:58] Raizo
    Indeed.
[20:05] Soji
    I'll admit, it was closer
    than I thought it'd be.
[20:09] Soji
    But a bet's a bet. Grab your stuff and—
[20:15] Soji
    You...
[20:27] Soji
    Damn Nio, that little twerp.
    Didn't mention a sixth guy.
[20:31] Raizo
    We each have three kills now.
[20:35] Soji
    You really need me to say it?
    It's a draw, okay? A draw.
[20:38] Raizo
    Then will we still be sharing the room?
[20:41] Soji
    Yeah, we will. A bet's a bet.
[20:44] Soji
    No backing out and no do-overs.
     What's done is done. I said as much!
[20:50] Soji
    Damn, what is it with you?
[20:52] Raizo
    No, I was just thinking...
[20:54] Raizo
    You seem more like a samurai than I do.
[20:57] Soji
    Don't you dare. I'm nothing like you.
[21:00] Soji
    Man, got my hopes up for nothing.
[21:03] Soji
    Talk about a bad draw.
[21:19] Teppa
    What are you doing out here with no light?
[21:22] Yuen
    Oh, nothing in particular.
[21:24] Yuen
    What brings you here, Doctor?
[21:26] Teppa
    Soji and Kurima-kun have
    completed the revenge job.
[21:30] Teppa
    I figured you should know.
[21:33] Yuen
    I appreciate it.
[21:36] Yuen
    I hope the two of them will get along.
[21:40] Teppa
    Do you really think that?
[21:44] Yuen
    What do you mean?
[21:47] Teppa
    Kurima Raizo. If he gets any more involved,
     it could spell real trouble.
[21:53] Teppa
    You realize that, right?
[21:57] Yuen
    Yes.
[22:00] Yuen
    I do.
