All three unavailable
on this particular day -
:50:09
what a very odd coincidence.
:50:15
Most curious.
:50:25
- He's up to something.
- Clearly so.
:50:28
Hikokuro was the one
who first insisted
:50:31
that Motome Chijiiwa
be forced to go through with harakiri.
:50:37
Yazaki was the one
:50:40
who discovered his blades were bamboo
and insisted he be forced to use them,
:50:44
and Kawabe was quick to agree.
:50:46
That's why I urged that he at least
be spared the bamboo blade.
:50:50
- Of what good is that now?
- Indeed, sire.
:50:56
But how shall we deal with him?
:50:58
I doubt he intends
to meekly disembowel himself.
:51:02
He obviously has something
up his sleeve.
:51:08
Whatever it is...
:51:10
he won't get away with it.
:51:14
We'll force his hand
and make him commit harakiri.
:51:19
In fact, if he refuses,
:51:22
we'll descend upon him in force
and cut him down.
:51:31
What happens within the walls
of this compound...
:51:36
is as secret as what happens
behind the walls of our castle back home.
:51:44
One signal from me
and everyone will know what to do.
:51:50
But I'm bothered
about Hikokuro and the other two.
:51:56
I need to send someone
to find out more...
