Queen of Swords (2000) s01e18 Episode Script

1
Brown and Baron, I missed the green forest
of home.
The voice of our ancestors draws us here
for a reason, Connie.
Japan cannot exist in isolation forever.
We must learn what we can about this new
world before it devours us.
But look around, look at this land,
pause, we teach us.
See there.
Where the earth is rich, the flower blooms
with ease and learns nothing about itself.
But where the soil is sandy and dry, it
must struggle to life with all its being.
And so comes to know the strength
and power of its true self, I know, but.
..
I don't think you're foolish, Master.
Where you lead, I am privileged to follow.
Look at the weather dressed.
I smell money.
And all the man, and the young girl,
easy piggy.
I want to go.
She's yours.
After.
My gift to a good son.
Mount up.
He's time to hunt.
What is it, Master?
The earth speaks.
Tell me, what does it say to you?
Horsemen.
Coming fast.
And your center.
Does it speak?
A dragon roars.
Nature coming for us.
Then we must be prepared.
Your money and your truth.
If you want to live.
You are welcome to share in what little we
have.
I'll take a little of this.
Someone's coming.
Give me a hand.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's hard to imagine it comes for a war.
Now every time I wear it, I'll have that
image in my mind.
What's that ahead?
It's too late.
He's dead?
Only his body.
Ancient son.
Strongly life.
Stronger after death.
We need to get her to Dr. Helm.
How is she?
She's unconscious too.
What is that?
It's Japanese.
I think it's sure in G.
Kimpop.
It's a wife.
There are a coat of warrior priests.
Priests, but she's a woman.
They admit females.
I didn't expect to do.
For a surprise, this doctor.
They teach their women to fight like men.
Sounds like a strange place indeed.
Doctor?
At least she's coming around.
I'll touch me again and you die.
No one's trying to hurt you.
No, no, I'm a doctor.
You shouldn't be on your feet.
You've had a blow to the head.
Are you all right?
There's a body.
Mr. Kimasa, the man who's with you?
Where is he?
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid he's when we was fake.
Liar.
Liar!
Oh, stop.
Where's my master?
My master, where is he?
Here, I'm feisty.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'll dare you to treat another guest in
such a manner.
Are you listening to this?
Please forgive me, forgiveness of my men.
I will see that they pay for this insult
later on.
Who are you?
I am Cardinal Luis Montoya, commander of
this garrison.
Commander?
In your culture, I would
humbly be called Chauvin.
Then a desire who must apologize for this
disturbance.
Not at all.
Your display was quite illuminating.
I'm looking for my master.
I'm afraid you'll have
to tell you that he's spirit
has flown to join those
for celestial ancestors.
Oh, I can't be.
I have taken the liberty and had his body
placed in our house of prayer.
Thank you.
I am most grateful.
Would you like to follow me?
So you may only see beauty on your journey
to the next world.
And here will be music.
We are on the edge of a great adventure.
Are you not afraid?
My only fear is that I will not serve you
well.
You cannot help but serve me well.
It is who you are.
Your mother's son.
I beg your forgiveness.
It was my duty to protect you.
But I failed.
Oh, I am unworthy.
Master Kimasa was the only family I've
ever known.
You feel responsible if your master's
death?
You believe you have changed your
ancestors.
It's true.
Girls.
It's a terrible thing to have to live
with.
And I shall not live.
Forgive me, but is it
not far more honorable to
confront your enemies
than to retreat into death?
You're the way of the samurai.
I do not presume to have the wisdom of
your late master, but one thing I do know.
It is not you who should die for this,
but the killers.
Okay, no more dancing for him.
Oh.
Feeling better, Dr. Helen?
Better than them.
I want to say one thing.
She's good for business.
She's a menace.
We must do to those men is criminal.
I'm surprised Karna Montoya hasn't
arrested her yet.
Yes, he does seem to be taking out a
healthy interest in it, isn't he?
I'm surprised to see him wearing a kimono
next time he reviews the troops.
You are cruel.
No, but really.
I mean, anyone else beats his soldiers to
a pulp.
He's making them for a noose.
See what you're saying.
You're afraid Karna Montoya has plans for
the young lady.
Someone of her skills would be of great
use to him.
Certainly she can fight, but she's still
any one girl.
All alone in a strange land.
Yes, it must be very frightening.
You're not suggesting she stay with me,
are you, Dr. Hill?
No, no, it's all.
Oh, it might be best to keep her away from
the colonel.
Yeah, that certainly wouldn't hurt.
It would be the decent thing to do.
You know?
It's a great idea, Dr. Hill.
I hope you feel better.
I'm going to go and fight her immediately.
I have something for you.
Thank you.
One work of art, for another.
Over the years, I have assembled a modest
collection of weapons.
It can be a great honor for me if you want
to use these.
You can feel this extra obligation.
Where can I find the bandits?
Those men are just pawns in the game.
It is their master, you seek.
Where can I find him?
What makes you think it is a man?
You're dying, boy.
You'll make what peace you can.
Papa.
I'm scared.
My son lives like a man.
He will die like one.
But I promise you, she will pay.
I will defend your death ten times over.
They will do.
He is always exciting to see such skill in
one so young.
But the queen of swords will not be an
easy contest.
Senator Rita?
Are you ready?
You are going with her.
This has saved my life.
She was kind enough to ask me to be her
guest.
But I thought that it would be
inappropriate for a young lady to be in
town without a chaperon.
Yes, of course.
You know where to find me.
Indeed, I do.
Senator Rita?
Kind of.
The colonel is an interesting man,
isn't he?
You two look like you were getting along
quite well.
Did he have any new information on the
banda to attack you?
Is something wrong, Kenny?
The dragon wars.
The dragon.
They're coming.
I'm up to carriage.
No, Kenny.
They have guns.
You saw what happened to you, Master.
Come here, get down.
Come on, you know, you'll be killed.
I ran the environmental.
We lost them.
A true warrior does not run from her
enemy.
Whatever you say, but save it,
let us get you home safely.
How did you know we were being followed?
I didn't.
Then what are these for?
The revenge of my ancestor.
I will need them to kill the queen of
swords.
You intrude on my piece.
Kenny, if I've done anything to insult
I had a chance to avenge my master's death
and you stole it from me.
I understand.
My father was also murdered.
And what have you done about it?
Can't be revenge as far as killer's death.
You want to know how your father died?
Like a stuck pig.
What?
Baking from us, you crying like a baby.
You're lying!
Don't raffle.
I'll have a died.
A coward.
No!
Yes!
Look at my father!
Look at my father!
He's gone.
No.
So you allowed him to go free?
It was a simple question.
Don't judge me.
You don't know anything about me.
You follow the way of the mouse.
I follow the way of the dragon.
And don't ever get in my way again.
Ha ha ha ha!
The killer.
The harbor.
Money faced.
What is this?
What difference does it make?
It's super.
It's Japanese.
Where the hell did you get it?
Come with me.
Interesting coin.
You get to Yokohama often.
You expect me to believe that you found
this?
I did.
I swear.
Okay.
I stole it.
From the old man.
And you married him.
Not me.
It was
Armando.
Did the girl see him?
Yeah.
You must tell me the whereabouts of your
hideout.
I need to talk to Armando.
You're crazy.
He You killed me.
And what makes you think that I will not?
Armando.
I am currently a Luis Montoya.
I come in peace.
There is no need for theatrics.
I only want to talk.
You must think I'm a complete photo
believer.
On the contrary.
I think you're very smart.
Smart enough to realize
that if I wanted you
dead, your blood
would be flowing by now.
Be a good fellow and put that thing away.
Before someone has not fortunate accident.
What's this about?
You play your cards right.
I could make you a wealthy man.
I'm not going to hide.
Hi?
Did I say hi?
What would you call it?
I would call it just nothing around.
She fights, she prays.
That's all she knows.
I can't just stand by and let Montoya use
her.
This up.
The cards tell me she's not alone.
That's possible.
Only two people were on that ship and one
of them is dead.
She has guides.
Ancient and powerful.
And dead.
Her blood is summer, right?
She can not allow herself to fail.
She will die first.
Then I'll find the man who murdered her
master and it'll all be over.
What if she finds the Gwyn of Sars first?
Then we have a problem.
When my 100 rail is.
You have to convince her that you are
following the Queen of Sords orders.
Me?
Follow her, Omer?
If she does not blame the old man's death
on the Queen.
She killed my son!
I want that gun then!
I understand your grief, Samuel.
You will have your just revenge.
Good.
Because that's all I care about.
And I want 200 gold rails.
Relax.
You're not the only one who can pretend to
be something he's not.
You should not presume too much in our
relationships, Samuel.
It was a compliment calling her.
You are a master of dissociation.
It is true.
I am.
Before we go.
I have some unfinished business.
No!
He said you would kill him if you let me
to your camp.
First time he's been riding years.
I have to go.
You killed the old man?
No, it was a bundle.
Where is he?
I'm going to tell you how to him.
Why didn't Pantoya take you?
I don't know.
So he dreams.
Whoa!
What the hell are you doing here?
I came to apologize.
Apology accepted now.
If you don't mind, I'm taking a bath.
In my country, it is common for men and
women to bathe together.
That's a charming custom, I'm sure,
but we don't do that here.
I need your help.
As long as it doesn't involve me standing
up.
Can you tell me where I can find the Queen
of Swords?
I don't know.
No one does.
Why?
She killed my master.
Who told you that?
Colonel Montoya said she ordered it.
And you believe him?
He is Shogun.
Cammy, you must be careful what he tells
you.
Men who love power will often lie to
protect it.
I highly doubt the Queen
of Swords had anything
to do with the death
of Master Kilmasa.
What do you do?
What do you do?
Couple is a ewing art.
Oh.
It is used by samurai after battle.
Oh.
Look at them.
Oh, the paint's come.
I think she'd do that.
Who told you that the Queen of Swords is
not involved?
Never mind.
Guards, bring in the prisoner.
Please.
First, listen to what he has to say.
Then act.
Who ordered you to rob and kill the
travelers?
It was the Queen of Swords.
We were following our artists.
What orders?
She said you were carrying gold.
If you resisted, we were to kill you.
She will kill us if we failed.
Hang him.
What do you say?
A boy on it!
You are welcome to attend if you wish.
So there you have it.
The confession of a condemned man.
I am satisfied.
Well, is there anything else I can provide
for you?
Only a horseman to your son.
Be good and it can be trusty.
I heard it from the bandit's lips.
I don't know.
I forced him to lay.
I appreciate your concern.
But the time of the words is cast.
Make sure your passion doesn't cloud your
judgment.
The voice of a thousand ancestors cry out
for vengeance.
Are you sure it's their voice you hear?
Or is it your own anger or talking?
How dare you speak to me of these things.
You know nothing of them.
We have the only one with ancient
teachers.
I must go.
Careful when you look for the dragon.
Careful it's not inside you.
I will seek out the queen of swords.
Only one of us shall live.
Come here.
Come here.
Before you seek vengeance.
First, see the truth.
The only way to convince her is for
Armando to tell her the truth.
What are you going to do?
A range of state of execution.
Good.
This is our mistake.
Yours.
I demand to see Montoya.
I can't do my part of it here.
It's not running.
Why say you're going to shoot me in the
back?
No.
Your head.
You mean, do you know what you're doing?
What I must.
The queen of swords is Montoya's enemy.
She's not yours.
You've demon who's fouted your mind.
Montoya's sword has been trying to kill
her for months.
Now they're using you to do it.
She freed the man who killed my master.
Kimmy.
If you allow yourself to
be Montoya's assassin,
if you do great dishonor
to your master's memory.
You have been kind to me.
But you must step aside.
Or what?
You'll kill me too.
Don't test me, Doctor.
Kimmy.
Kimmy!
Ah, Doctor Ham.
Why am I not surprised to find you here?
I was just giving someone the benefit of a
second opinion.
You perform a vital service for this
community.
However, your propensity for good deeds is
becoming just a little irritating.
Stick to medicine, Doctor Ham.
So that we may all continue to benefit
from your skills.
Guards?
It's quite a good doctor to his office.
Yes, sir.
I'm a looking tired.
Take the rest of the day off.
No sign that we were followed by the days
till young.
What are you going to do if someone turns
up?
That is a problem.
If I let you go, Kimmy will track you down
and kill you.
Or Montoya will track you down and kill
you.
You've got to be kidding.
Either way, you have the life expectancy
of a dude, Rob.
So you're just going to leave me tight
like this?
How much do Montoya pay you?
What are you talking about?
To finger me for the murder.
I'm curious how much am I worth to him
these days?
100 gold per hour.
And 100 Montoya?
200, they are.
Is that all?
You think I should have asked for more?
Well, considering that he
wasn't planning on paying you
anyway, I think you could
have gotten twice as much.
Really?
Armando, I don't know how you survived all
these years.
You've been lied to.
You just don't know by whom.
Montoya tells you one thing, everyone else
is something different.
Not everyone.
Why don't you listen to what he has to say
before one of us dies?
Why?
So he can lie to protect you?
Whatever happens today, you die.
Don't count on it!
You saved my life.
Montoya lied to you.
And because of me, you were falsely
accused.
It's not the first time that happened.
Thank you, Camille.
I shall forever be near that for leading
me here.
You deceived me.
Kill them, boss.
Drop the pistol, Colonel.
You'll be dead before you reload.
Sad but true, I'm afraid.
It seems you ladies have me at a
disadvantage.
As usual, until we meet again.
Ladies?
Where will you go?
I will finish my master's work.
Back in the east.
Master Camasa was right.
The world is coming to Japan.
We cannot hide from it.
I will see this vast land of yours.
Let it teach me what it can.
It's beautiful.
My master gave it to me.
The dragon is a symbol of our order.
Its roar represents the power of the
physical.
It's fire of the wisdom of the unseen.
It will bring you good luck.
Thank you.
If you ever need anything, there is one
thing.
Dammit.
If you see Tessa Arato, please tell her
that I apologize.
For what?
She offered me nothing but kindness.
I was rude and selfish.
Don't worry.
Sure she understands.
