If you want to put a hole in Horio...

this is how.

The Shogun's clan won over Lord

Toyotomi because we sided with him.

But now we're baggage.

So they ridicule us

and call us non-liege lords.

This third shogun is a small fry.

I want that in writing.

Sirs, Councilor Takeuchi

is here on behalf of Sir Honda.

Call him in.

In 1576 at age 16, I accompanied

Lord Ieyasu, the first Shogun to be...

to my first battle at Nagashino.

I killed the enemy general, Wada.

Since then I've been in 66 battles.

I have 88 wounds on my body to prove it.

I will never forget

the battle of Sumonjiyama.

That day I was wearing...

an armor without a helmet...

just a bandana.

My banner was brown with white lettering.

With a sword in my belt

and a spear in my hand

I rode on a silver saddle

on a brown horse.

I was a sight to behold...

and called out to everyone...

"Come see this courageous warrior".

They can't see a thing if they're sleeping.

Old man.

Your cunning plot has succeeded.

Plot?

Just look... there'll be no raid

on Inaba tonight.

So. No night raid?

But you haven't heard the last of this.

Fool!

Do you think I'm satisfied with this?

I was appointed by the first

Shogun as the Shogun's Advisor.

Looking good, Boss!

Sir Hikozaemon Okubo is here.

I, Okubo, have come to see the Shogun.

Please tell his secretary that I am here.

Sire, does Okubo still come to see you?

I'm worried...

He hasn't been around lately.

He doesn't come to advise you?

He's getting old.

Perhaps he's not up to it.

If he does come...

he's stubborn and righteous.

I too know... how righteous he can be.

You, too, Uncle?

Yes.

But when he doesn't come,

I worry that he may be ill.

He will appreciate your kind thoughts.

Lord Honda...

Tell Okubo what the Shogun said.

Tell him to come see the Shogun.

Since the Shogun wishes to see him...

we can't block Okubo

from seeing him much longer.

But he's here to plead Samezu's case.

If the Shogun pardons Samezu,

we councilors will be humiliated.

Our humiliation is beside the point.

Our priority is peace for our country.

If non-liege lords

decide to take up arms...

Lord Izu, you are a renowned strategist...

What are your thoughts?

Councilor Lord Izu is here to see you.

Good evening.

I see that you are working late.

I simply do... what my job requires of me.

But why are you here so late at night?

Oh, you have not heard of my request?

Oh, I am waiting to see the Shogun.

If you want to see the Shogun...

you must be here on a social call.

But isn't it a bit late

for a social call?

I'm not satisfied about the decision...

to punish Lord Samezu.

So you want to advise the Shogun?

Of course.

Hideo Oguni

Hideo Oguni (小国 英雄, Oguni Hideo, 9 July 1904 – 5 February 1996) was a Japanese writer who wrote over 100 screenplays. He is best known for co-writing screenplays for a number of films directed by Akira Kurosawa, including Ikiru, The Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood and The Hidden Fortress. His first film with Kurosawa was Ikiru, and according to film professor Catherine Russell, it was Oguni who devised that film's two-part structure. Film critic Donald Richie regarded him as the "humanist" among Kurosawa's writers. In 2013, Oguni and frequent screenwriting collaborators Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto and Ryūzō Kikushima were awarded the Jean Renoir Award by the Writers Guild of America West.Writing credits other than for Kurosawa films include Heinosuke Gosho's Entotsu no mieru basho in 1953, Koji Shima's Warning from Space in 1956, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Hiroshi Inagaki's Machibuse in 1970. more…
