My enemy is near.
Give me the strength.
Guide my hand to kill him and return alive to kill those who remain.
May all evil omens, the dire cry of birds,
a malign conjunction of stars, all evil dreams and angry words--
[Ringo] Master?
A samurai is honorable.
You are no samurai.

May they all be drained of power.

[Fowler] Thick milk, long soured, over old curds.
The best dairy on the Irish isle, shared with you on our own.
I was raised on this.
Milk?
From a cow?
I shipped in two beeves special to feed my honored guest.
[inhales sharply]
-[Chiba swallows] -[Fowler] Hm.
[clears throat] A good… sourness.
[laughing]
I never tire of your people's aversion to impoliteness.
A taboo against offense, even as you plan the death of thousands.
Surely… not so many need to die.
Anyone who stands in the way. Anyone not on their knees when it's over.
Your guns will be ready?
They are all ready.
Already ready. Ready for all.
All we need are loyal men ready to fire them.
You ask Master Chiba
to wager his excellent position as advisor to the shogun.
The risks are great.
Thousands of men guard the shogun's castle.
[Fowler] Ten thousand.
Twenty. It doesn't matter.
They guard it with knives.
No one makes a better blade than your people.
No one invents better ways to kill people than mine.
A gun will never be as beautiful as a sword.
But with a gun, you can take any sword you want.
The shogun and his entire family will be dead come spring.
And Master Chiba
will be the right hand of our appointed man… [inhales sharply]
That was tasteless of me.
Our men are trained and eager to serve.
Each one hates the shogun with all the blood in his heart.
Oh, I don't hate the shogun.
I just want his chair.
[whispering indistinctly]
It's him.
He's come.
-[ominous music playing] -I told you he'd come.
I want to watch.
Why set traps only to mash the rat yourself?
Sit, we have business.
I want to watch.

I said this samurai could not be stopped, but you wouldn't listen.
[Fowler] Just a man. Let him come.
Perhaps we should excuse ourselves from their danger.
What danger?
An attack on the shogun's emissary is an attack on the shogun himself.
No one would dare attack them with us here.
Yes.
