[00:03] Kariki-ya owner
    I'm really not sure what to say.
[00:06] Raizo
    Does it not suffice?
[00:08] Kariki-ya owner
    No, the exact opposite.
[00:11] Kariki-ya owner
    A publisher recently ordered an
    illustration for a hanging scroll,
[00:16] Kariki-ya owner
    and I'd like you to use these to paint one.
[00:21] Raizo
    I am grateful for the chance,
[00:23] Raizo
    but I feel as though my art would not suit that.
[00:27] Soji
    Yeah, man. His stuff looks like it's about to
    jump off the paper. It's downright creepy.
[00:32] Kariki-ya owner
    Don't be ridiculous.
[00:34] Kariki-ya owner
    Your works are so remarkable, they make
    me wonder if I ended up in this business
[00:38] Kariki-ya owner
    for the purpose of showing them to the world.
[00:43] Kariki-ya owner
    These hands are a gift from the Buddha.
[00:47] Kariki-ya owner
    Please take great care of them.
[02:23] Merchant
    This is truly splendid work.
[02:26] Merchant
    Come to think of it, the artist
    everyone has been talking about...
SIGN    Episode 6
[02:30] Merchant
    You were the one who introduced him
    to the art dealer at Kariki-ya, no?
[02:35] Merchant
    I've heard he's got a rather
    otherworldly art style.
[02:38] Yuen
    I wouldn't dare take credit for that.
    It was simply a series of coincidences.
[02:44] Merchant
    Humble as always, Usui-sama.
[03:01] Nio
    What's with the serious look?
[03:03] Yuen
    I'm actually about to head over
    to the pleasure quarter.
[03:07] Nio
    He called you in again?
[03:10] Nio
    Hasn't that been happening a lot?
[03:13] Raizo
    You look displeased.
[03:15] Soji
    I was kinda hoping he'd whack that snooty nose
    of yours down to size and kick you out.
[03:20] Raizo
    I thought you would be happy.
[03:22] Soji
    Why the hell should I be happy for you?
[03:25] Raizo
    Well, if I manage to secure a livelihood,
[03:29] Raizo
    I will no longer need to impose on you.
[03:32] Soji
    Idiot!
[03:34] Soji
    The thing about gamblers is we don't
     count our money until it's in our hands.
[03:47] Soji
    Don't kill them.
[03:49] Soji
    Damn.
[03:51] Soji
    I'm just saying, you'd better not
    go counting your chickens before...
[03:55] Soji
    they've hatched!
[04:12] Soji
    Well, hell.
[04:13] Soji
    You get a little praise for your art,
    and you've already gone soft?
[04:21] Soji
    Well, if isn't Han-Cho Kumo
     and Dice-Slinger Yasu.
[04:24] Soji
    What the hell made you pull this stunt?
[04:26] Gambler A
    We weren't trying to kill you!
[04:28] Gambler B
    Some guys said they had
    business with your ronin buddy.
[04:33] Soji
    What're you saying?
[04:35] Soji
    Did the guys who hired you wanna make shochu
     out of the Satsuma sweet potato samurai?
[04:40] Gambler A
    W-We don't know, man!
    We just did what they paid us for!
[04:44] Gambler A
    Here, look! Take all of it if you want!
[04:48] Soji
    Don't give me that shit!
[04:49] Soji
    Like hell I'm gonna buy a pair
    of gamblers folding that easy!
[04:52] Raizo
    They are not lying.
[04:56] Raizo
    Go.
[04:58] Gambler A
    W-We're real sorry!
[05:02] Soji
    Anything come to mind?
[05:05] Soji
    Probably one of those "too many
    grudges to narrow it down" deals.
[05:10] Soji
    Damn it all.
[05:12] Soji
    Don't go forgetting your meal ticket, man.
[05:15] Soji
    You really must be a killer to the core.
[05:40] Usui
    On the matter of Sakata-sama,
[05:42] Usui
    I don't know how to express
    my condolences, Isarizawa-sama.
[05:46] Jinkuro
    Tell me about it.
[05:47] Jinkuro
    The owner of Azumi-ya, who was meant
     to handle his funeral, went and died, too.
[05:51] Jinkuro
    Thanks to that, I've been busy as hell.
[05:54] Jinkuro
    Makes me wonder if there's
    a nasty disease going around.
[05:56] Usui
    The owner of Azumi-ya?
[05:59] Usui
    I hadn't heard about that.
[06:01] Jinkuro
    I'd honestly rather be out drinking
     to honor Sakata's memory,
[06:06] Jinkuro
    but business calls, y'know?
[06:09] Usui
    What do you mean?
[06:11] Jinkuro
    This Benkei wannabe from
    Satsuma I asked you about...
[06:14] Jinkuro
    Find out anything about him?
[06:16] Usui
    Nothing yet, I'm afraid.
[06:18] Jinkuro
    I'm begging you, man.
[06:20] Jinkuro
    'Cause it turns out the folks in Chinatown
    are trying to track him down now.
[06:26] Usui
    Chinatown?
[06:27] Jinkuro
    Yep. Seriously, the headaches never end.
[06:30] Jinkuro
    If I let 'em snatch Hirata Genshin's
    killer out from under my nose,
[06:35] Jinkuro
    I don't know what I'm gonna tell
    my bosses at the magistrate.
[06:38] Jinkuro
    They'll want me to do this!
[06:41] Jinkuro
    And if that does happen,
[06:42] Jinkuro
    I imagine whoever's been sheltering
     Mr. Satsuma will go down with me.
[06:48] Usui
    That sounds like a dreadful situation.
[06:50] Usui
    But what would the residents of
    Chinatown want with this man?
[06:53] Jinkuro
    Couldn't say.
[06:55] Jinkuro
    Maybe they got a craving for
    fried Satsuma sweet potatoes.
[06:59] Jinkuro
    But there is the question of the missing
    product Hirata Genshin was investigating.
[07:03] Jinkuro
    I could see that being of interest,
    especially if they were involved.
[07:08] Usui
    You think they're connected to
    the opium circulating in Nagasaki?
[07:11] Jinkuro
    I'm just saying it's a possibility.
[07:14] Jinkuro
    If I could actually go take a look
    for myself, it'd be easy to figure out,
[07:19] Jinkuro
    but considering where we're talking about...
[07:21] Jinkuro
    If a magistrate waltzes into Chinatown,
     the union's gonna raise a stink about it.
[07:27] Usui
    The Nagasaki Trade Union?
[07:29] Jinkuro
    You got it.
[07:30] Jinkuro
    Imagine the magistrate and the union feuding
     'cause of some sweet potato samurai...
[07:34] Jinkuro
    Even for a joke, it's too bizarre.
[07:36] Jinkuro
    So I'd be real grateful if someone with
    sharp ears could maybe go have a listen.
[07:43] Jinkuro
    Know anyone who fits the bill?
[07:46] Usui
    That's a tall order...
[07:49] Usui
    But I'll see what I can do.
[07:51] Jinkuro
    Well, try and be quick about it, yeah?
[07:55] Jinkuro
    Though I hate that all I can do
[07:57] Jinkuro
    while I wait is hope our Satsuma
    sweet potato stays hidden.
[08:03] Jinkuro
    Wish I could take my mind off it somehow.
[08:06] Jinkuro
    Oh, I know.
[08:08] Jinkuro
    I heard you found some artist
    whose work is out of this world.
[08:14] Jinkuro
    Next time you drop by, why not
     bring me one of his paintings, too?
[08:20] Usui
    Of course.
[08:23] sign
    Chinatown Nagasaki
[08:23] Drugstore Owner
    I'll send someone to deliver your order later.
     Why don't you join me for tea?
[08:28] Drugstore Owner
    It's medicinal.
[08:30] Teppa
    I really appreciate it.
[08:32] Teppa
    Nagasaki businesses have real trouble
    getting their hands on Dutch goods.
[08:37] Drugstore Owner
    The English have apparently forced the
    Dutch out of both Ceylon and Jakarta.
[08:43] Drugstore Owner
    It might be even harder to get your next order.
[08:48] Teppa
    I'm curious.
[08:49] Teppa
    I've heard the folks around here have
    been looking for a samurai from Satsuma.
[08:54] Teppa
    What's that about?
[08:56] Teppa
    If there's anything I can do to help—
[09:05] Drugstore Owner
    Teppa-san. If you wish to keep discussing that,
[09:07] Drugstore Owner
    I'm afraid I can't do business
     with you ever again.
[09:11] Teppa
    Sure. Forget I said anything.
[09:14] Teppa
    I ought to be moving along, anyway.
[09:30] Teppa
    Well, that was a hair-raising experience.
[09:33] Teppa
    But the folks in Chinatown
    are definitely serious about it.
[09:36] Raizo
    And you think they may have
    been conspiring with Matsumine?
[09:39] Yuen
    That's just Isarizawa's theory.
[09:42] Yuen
    But if it's right, it would explain
     why they're so panicked.
[09:46] Soji
    Considering their business partner
    suddenly disappeared...
[09:49] Soji
    And you're their only lead.
[09:53] Soji
    Hey! Where are you going?
[09:56] Raizo
    If Matsumine's people are looking for me,
     I will save them the trouble.
[10:01] Soji
    Haven't you learned anything?
    We don't even know if that's the case yet!
[10:05] Soji
    You can't just kill them all and go,
    "Whoops, my bad," if you're wrong!
[10:09] Soji
    Regardless of the outcome, meeting with
    them is the fastest way to learn the truth.
[10:12] Yuen
    Wait a moment.
[10:14] Yuen
    If they were open to
    discussing this reasonably,
[10:16] Yuen
    I doubt they would've tried to kidnap you.
[10:18] Raizo
    And?
[10:20] Soji
    "And?" Man...
[10:21] Soji
    There's no guarantee you'll even
    make it back in one piece, asshole!
[10:25] Raizo
    And I am asking why that matters.
[10:28] Raizo
    You see...
[10:29] Raizo
    I killed my future father-in-law,
    and drove my fiancée to kill herself.
[10:35] Raizo
    What sense does it make for someone
    like that to consider his own life precious?
[10:42] Yuen
    You're certain you want to do this?
[10:44] Raizo
    It is what it is.
[10:46] Raizo
    My foolishness caused this situation.
[10:50] Raizo
    It is best that I put an end to it.
[10:57] Soji
    What are we gonna do about that idiot?
[11:00] Nio
    Nothing, maybe?
[11:02] Nio
    It's not like it's any of our business.
[11:05] Nio
    Who cares if he dies?
[11:06] Soji
    That ain't gonna cut it here,
     and you know it.
[11:09] Nio
    What's this?
[11:10] Nio
    Is Soji, of all people, gonna talk
    about brotherhood and friendship?
[11:14] Soji
    Don't be stupid. That bastard...
[11:17] Soji
    His death is gonna be a bad one, regardless
    of whether it comes sooner or later.
[11:20] Soji
    But didn't the Pajama Police
    basically say we're on the hook for him?
[11:26] Teppa
    Indeed we are. And if this blows up,
[11:30] Teppa
    there's a good chance we'll be blamed for
    the whole thing, with nowhere left to turn.
[11:35] Nio
    So why'd you let him go?
[11:38] Nio
    We could have jumped him
    and tied him up or something!
[11:41] Yuen
    Why is Chinatown after Kurima-san?
[11:45] Yuen
    If nothing else, Isarizawa
    needs us to find out why.
[11:50] Yuen
    You can follow him, can't you, Nio?
[11:54] Nio
    What a pain!
[11:56] Nio
    Ugh, we never should've saved
    that guy in the first place.
[12:00] Yuen
    We absolutely needed his help in order
     to carry out the revenge on Matsumine.
[12:05] Teppa
    Enough opium for Chinatown to get involved...
[12:08] Teppa
    I really don't want to imagine what'd happen
     if that made its way into Nagasaki.
[12:15] Soji
    Well, there you have it.
    If one of us goes down, we all do,
[12:19] Soji
    and since he's already in trouble,
    we might as well do something crazy.
[12:22] Soji
    So if you don't wanna get
    nailed by the Pajama Police,
[12:25] Soji
    you run along, li'l Nio.
[12:28] Soji
    What are you making
    that smug face for, Soji?
[12:31] Soji
    Don't blame me if I can't catch up in time.
[12:33] Soji
    You'd better come up with a plan
     for what happens if I can't.
[12:37] Teppa
    Good point.
[12:39] Teppa
    We'll need to do just that.
[12:52] Sign
    Chinatown Nagasaki
[12:54] Chinese 1
    Hey, isn't that the guy?
[12:57] Chinese 2
    That guy?
[12:58] Chinese 3
    Yeah, that's the one.
[12:59] Chinese 4
    He seriously came here alone?
[12:59] Drugstore Owner
    Don't worry about it. Leave him for Master Liu.
[13:03] Chinese 5
    What does he think he's doing?
[13:05] Chinese 6
    Get the women and kids to clear out.
[13:10] Minion B
    He's actually pretty good.
[13:12] Liu
    I didn't think you'd actually
    come here on your own.
[13:15] Raizo
    I heard you were looking for me.
[13:18] Raizo
    I would like to know why.
[13:40] Liu
    Take him away.
[13:59] Raizo
    What is this about?
[14:01] Raizo
    Why were you looking for me?
[14:03] Liu
    So you killed your comrades out of greed,
[14:06] Liu
    and with nowhere to turn, you were
    brazen enough to come to us for help.
[14:10] Liu
    If I believed that, it would've
     made this so much simpler.
[14:14] Liu
    But your eyes aren't the eyes
    of a greedy self-serving pig,
[14:18] Liu
    nor of a frenzied tiger that
    tears apart everything it sees.
[14:22] Liu
    They're eyes that believe in something.
    So who gave you the order?
[14:27] Liu
    Out of respect for those eyes,
     I'll let you choose.
[14:32] Liu
    The right?
[14:34] Liu
    Or the left?
[14:39] Minion B
    Master Liu.
[14:41] Minion B
    Shishido-sama from the Nagasaki
    Trade Union is calling for you.
[14:44] Liu
    At a time like this?
[14:47] Liu
    Hurt him however you please.
[14:48] Minion A
    Yes, sir!
[15:24] Nio
    All right. That's bait for the minnows.
[15:31] Chinese Sailor 1
    Over in that direction! By the prow!
[15:39] Chinese Sailor 3
    We're taking on water!
[15:41] Chinese Sailor 5
    Plug it now!
[15:53] Raizo
    Who exactly are you people?
[15:57] Minion A
    I need to teach you some manners before the master returns.
[16:03] Minion A
    Cool your head.
[16:10] Chinese 1
    Damn it. How are we gonna explain this to Master Liu?
[16:13] Soji
    Don't get so worked up, pal.
[16:15] Soji
    Care to drink under the moon with me?
[16:17] Chinese 1
    Who are you?!
[16:18] Soji
    Yeah, I don't understand.
    Any clue what he said, boss?
[16:34] Soji
    You're a lucky guy.
[16:38] Soji
    We don't kill without a coin, see?
[16:47] Soji
    Can't let our faces be seen.
[16:48] Soji
    Can't leave any evidence.
[16:51] Soji
    And we're not even getting paid.
[16:53] Soji
    This samurai is a huge pain in the ass.
[16:56] Yuen
    I was surprised you agreed to
    come along in spite of all that.
[17:00] Yuen
    He hasn't actually grown on you, has he?
[17:04] Soji
    I'd rather work for free than
    get nailed by the cops. That's all.
[17:08] Soji
    I'll have to satisfy myself with seeing how
    badly they worked the samurai bastard over.
[17:15] Minion B
    You are friends of the samurai?
[17:17] Soji
    How many times do I gotta say no to that?
[17:19] Yuen
    Go on ahead.
[17:30] Minion A
    Ready to talk now?
[17:33] Raizo
    I am the one who killed Matsumine.
[17:37] Minion A
    We know that!
[17:39] Minion A
    Where are the goods?!
[17:41] Minion A
    Where did you hide them?
    Who'd you give them to?
[17:44] Minion A
    There was too much there
    for one man to manage alone!
[17:47] Raizo
    The goods? You mean what
    Matsumine was dealing?
[17:50] Minion A
    Still playing dumb, huh?!
[18:01] Minion A
    You must be cold. Let me warm you up.
[18:12] Soji
    Bastard!
[18:19] Minion A
    Who are you?!
[18:20] Soji
    I don't have time for this!
[18:46] Soji
    Hey, you alive?
[18:50] Soji
    Come on, samurai! Say something!
[18:53] Soji
    Raizo?!
[18:56] Raizo
    What are you doing here?
[19:01] Raizo
    Well, y'know...
[19:03] Raizo
    Figured I'd finally get to see your
    snooty nose whacked down to size.
[19:08] Raizo
    My nose appears to be unharmed.
[19:10] Soji
    Shut up!
[19:11] Soji
    H-Hey!
[19:57] Guest
    I'll examine the cup.
[20:02] Guest
    What do you suppose that is?
[20:07] Liu
    We drink tea here leisurely
    while things fall apart.
[20:15] Liu
    My people's welfare is
    supposed to be guaranteed
[20:17] Liu
    by your people in the
    Nagasaki Trade Union.
[20:20] Shishido
    A question: since when does a boat out
    at sea count as part of your neighborhood?
[20:27] Shishido
    If you had spoken to us beforehand,
    this would've been dealt with.
[20:32] Liu
    "Nagasaki is a town of businessmen."
[20:35] Liu
    "And the Nagasaki Trade Union, who oversee
    the businesses, are the true power."
[20:39] Liu
    "The magistrate is nothing to fear."
    You were the one who told me this.
[20:44] Liu
    And yet, my boat has been raided,
    and the man we spoke of has been taken.
[20:49] Shishido
    The way this was executed...
[20:51] Shishido
    It was far too fast to be that
    hedonist's outfit, the Pajama Police.
[20:55] Liu
    Then who?
[20:57] Shishido
    While we are businessmen,
[21:00] Shishido
    we do not deal in the lives of men.
[21:03] Shishido
    However, here in Nagasaki,
[21:06] Shishido
    there is a group of outlaws who will
    undertake any dirty task for a price.
[21:11] Shishido
    They cause us quite a bit of trouble.
[21:16] Shishido
    They're known as the ribenji-ya.
[21:22] Liu
    Revenger...
[21:27] Soji
    So did you figure anything out?
[21:30] Raizo
    They were not working with Matsumine.
[21:34] Yuen
    Isarizawa's theory was wrong?
[21:36] Yuen
    Then why did they kidnap you?
[21:39] Raizo
    Matsumine had already collected his cargo.
[21:43] Teppa
    Then where is it?
[21:47] Raizo
    But they seemed to think that I knew.
[21:52] Raizo
    It is an obscene amount of opium, purchased
    by the chief financial officer of Satsuma.
[21:58] Raizo
    And...
[22:00] Raizo
    It is hidden somewhere in Nagasaki.
