1:40:00
"Even if I say I want
to commit harakiri,
1:40:03
they surely won't actually
make me do it."
1:40:06
Such wishful thinking
is where these ronin go wrong.
1:40:11
If a man says he wants
to commit harakiri, we will let him.
1:40:13
In fact, since he has proposed it himself,
we'll make sure he does.
1:40:17
That is the policy of the House of Iyi.
1:40:20
For us, samurai honor
is no mere facade!
1:40:41
And so Hanshiro Tsugumo too
1:40:45
has come here
with no intention of committing harakiri,
1:40:49
but rather out of deep bitterness
1:40:53
over the manner in which the Iyi Clan
treated his son-in-law Motome Chijiiwa,
1:40:58
and the desire to vent
his many grudges.
1:41:02
Is that what you think?
1:41:04
That's not for me to say.
1:41:08
You can only look into your own heart.
1:41:11
But all the same,
1:41:14
you have no intention
of letting me leave here alive?
1:41:17
That is my decision to make.
1:41:20
I need make no excuses to you.
1:41:24
Counselor,
1:41:26
there is a proverb, "The suspicious mind
conjures its own demons."
1:41:30
Do you know it?
1:41:34
When I say I will disembowel myself,
I truly mean it.
1:41:45
Yet, even after all I have said,
you still refuse to -
1:41:50
Suppose I were to go on living.
1:41:54
What could I possibly have
to look forward to?
