My Lord wanted to see me.
Our lord urges you to be at your best
and to please carry your swords,
as is befitting a hatamoto.
Lord, may I ask...
...does this order of Crimson Sky mean
that I am to be given maritime command
during our attack?
- [sighs] - [Mariko] Our Lord has made
no decision regarding you or your service,
and I suggest you take this no further.
Perhaps I misunderstand these honors here done to me.
Well, here I am, bestowed countless gifts,
titles, swords and fiefs,
but when it comes time to actually serve him, I'm ignored.
I'm beginning to wonder
if these gifts have any bloody meaning at all.
What exactly is...
I urge you to let this go.
Aah.
[sighs]
Please tell him, I am ready
for whatever our fate may bring.
[laughing]
Oh.

Saeki-sama remarks about how long it has been
since he has seen Nagakado-sama.

[Blackthorne] What happens if he surrenders?
We will be marched to Osaka and forced
to grovel at Ishido-sama's feet.
Toranaga-sama will be sentenced to death,
and half his men will commit seppuku
out of allegiance to him.
My Erasmus is still moored in that cove.
If you could get me the clearance I need to go aboard,
then, tonight, I could go below, test the bilges.
Easy dive over the side, check the keel.
She'll need careening and scraping.
Yabushige's men could help
with stepping the spare bowsprit in... in the hold.
I'll fix the sail myself.
Then we could be out of that channel, and we could...
What could we do, Anjin-sama?
Anything is better than standing here, pissing around.

Behold the great warlord.
The brilliant master of trickery,
who tricked his own loyal vassals
into a noiseless smothering.
