The Bodyguard Page #3

Synopsis: A pop singer has been receiving threatening notes, and her manager hires a bodyguard known for his good work. The bodyguard ruffles the singer's feathers and most of her entourage by tightening security more than they feel is necessary. The bodyguard is haunted by the fact that he was on Reagan's secret service staff but wasn't there to prevent the attack by Hinckley. Eventually the bodyguard and the singer start an affair, and she begins to believe his precautions are necessary when the stalker strikes close to home.

An imposing faade, but the owner

Tazaemon is worthless.

119

00:
14:20,193 -- 00:14:24,988

He's our cowardly mayor,

a silk merchant by trade.

120

00:
14:25,240 -- 00:14:28,158

He'd managed to survive

by siding with Seibei,

121

00:
14:28,326 -- 00:14:31,078

but when Ushitora rebelled...

122

00:
14:34,332 -- 00:14:38,168

Tokuemon, the sake brewer,

sided with Ushitora.

123

00:
14:38,336 -- 00:14:41,004

Tokuemon says

he's the new mayor,

124

00:
14:41,172 -- 00:14:45,759

and he even started selling silk.

Tazaemon is finished.

125

00:
14:45,927 -- 00:14:50,305

He bangs his prayer drum all day,

hoping for Seibei's victory.

126

00:
14:51,975 -- 00:14:53,934

Hear that?

127

00:
15:07,865 -- 00:15:09,449

Damn them all!

128

00:
15:10,159 -- 00:15:12,578

This town is doomed.

129

00:
15:13,997 -- 00:15:15,789

Now do you see?

130

00:
15:16,666 -- 00:15:20,168

You'll gain nothing

by getting sucked into this evil.

131

00:
15:20,670 -- 00:15:23,922

Eat quickly and leave.

132

00:
15:25,300 -- 00:15:28,260

I've had enough rice.

Give me some sake.

133

00:
15:30,513 -- 00:15:33,473

I like it here.

I'll stay awhile.

134

00:
15:33,933 -- 00:15:35,350

Why?

135

00:
15:35,518 -- 00:15:37,811

Don't you get it yet?

136

00:
15:37,979 -- 00:15:39,730

Yes, I do.

137

00:
15:40,023 -- 00:15:42,024

That's why I'm staying.

138

00:
15:42,942 -- 00:15:44,610

Listen, old man.

139

00:
15:45,320 -- 00:15:47,988

I'll get paid for killing.

140

00:
15:48,656 -- 00:15:52,117

And this town is full of men

who deserve to die.

141

00:
15:52,619 -- 00:15:54,244

Think about it.

142

00:
15:55,246 -- 00:15:58,165

Seibei, Ushitora,

the gamblers and drifters -

143

00:
15:58,333 -- 00:16:01,752

with them gone,

the town could have a fresh start.

144

00:
16:01,919 -- 00:16:05,005

You're nuts!

Not if you had nine lives!

145

00:
16:07,383 -- 00:16:09,509

I won't do it alone.

146

00:
16:09,927 -- 00:16:11,345

How then?

147

00:
16:11,971 -- 00:16:15,390

Sake.

I'll think while I drink.

148

00:
16:23,524 -- 00:16:25,734

Everyone in this town is crazy!

149

00:
16:25,985 -- 00:16:28,737

But you're even crazier!

150

00:
16:50,843 -- 00:16:52,886

I want to talk to Seibei.

151

00:
16:54,222 -- 00:16:56,056

Who the hell are you?

152

00:
17:09,070 -- 00:17:10,821

Wanna hire me?

153

00:
17:15,034 -- 00:17:16,952

I'll be your bodyguard.

154

00:
17:18,996 -- 00:17:21,039

I'll show you what I'm worth.

155

00:
18:13,134 -- 00:18:15,469

The two-bit samurai again?

156

00:
18:20,475 -- 00:18:22,309

What do you want this time?

157

00:
18:35,156 -- 00:18:38,617

- You guys have such cute faces.

- What?

158

00:
18:40,953 -- 00:18:46,041
