A game? 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:00.840 How do you think the Emperor would respond 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:02.604 to his command being thought of as a game? 00:23:02.760 --> 00:23:05.525 Since your only threat seems to be running to the Emperor 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.603 like a pouting child, you should ask him 00:23:07.760 --> 00:23:09.569 - as soon as possible. - I need not ask. 00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:11.370 You were ordered to this review by the Emperor, 00:23:11.520 --> 00:23:12.760 and yet you reject his word. 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:14.445 I reject any attempt by you 00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:17.126 to exert some delusional power over me. 00:23:17.280 --> 00:23:21.171 It is you who live under illusion, not me. 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.964 I offer you no threat but a promise. 00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:32.408 I will not only take your property and standing, 00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:36.201 but I will turn everything connected to the Bartok name into dust. 00:23:36.360 --> 00:23:40.570 And when I'm done, it will be as if neither you 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.451 nor any generation before had ever existed. 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.005 You should be careful not to overstep. 00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.725 Something wrong? 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.960 I have known many like you, 00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:13.726 men who, once their hairs bleed grey 00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:15.484 and their spines cut them like daggers, 00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:17.045 come to revise their own history. 00:24:18.760 --> 00:24:20.444 Truth is that your innermost fear 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:23.120 is in fact your most striking attribute. 00:24:23.280 --> 00:24:25.248 You are irrelevant. 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.681 You have neither cast a shadow nor left any footprints 00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:29.842 upon the great legacy of the Bartok clan. 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.731 Your only achievement was being born into nobility... 00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:38.206 and you somehow failed to reproduce even that. 00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:48.122 Guards! Guards! 00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.561 You draw your blade on a minister of the Emperor? 00:25:09.040 --> 00:25:11.884 Minister, your father-in-law approaches. 00:25:12.040 --> 00:25:13.610 What happened?

00:27:30.040 --> 00:27:34.887 To retain the meager wealth and rank that men desire. 00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:39.284 So I come before you a condemned man 00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:42.011 for having finally stood up 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:43.650 to injustice. 00:27:43.800 --> 00:27:47.486 My shame and regret 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.762 is that I failed to do so 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.651 before it arrived in my own court. 00:27:55.280 --> 00:27:58.727 We supply the armies, 00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.601 we build the roads, 00:28:02.760 --> 00:28:05.843 we employ the nation. 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:09.482 Still, we remain silent while our coffers are emptied 00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:13.440 and our freedoms eroded. 00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:15.329 There will be times 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.450 where we are powerless to injustice, 00:28:18.600 --> 00:28:21.080 but there must never be a time 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:24.323 when we fail to protest. 00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:34.289 This man, Gezza Mott, 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:39.202 is a cancer, growing. 00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:43.200 And the only proper thing to do is to cut it out. 00:28:45.560 --> 00:28:48.769 You all know what I speak of. 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:53.209 Each one of you has been subjected 00:28:53.360 --> 00:28:55.203 to his extortion. 00:28:55.360 --> 00:29:00.127 But my words are not in judgment of my fellow noblemen, 00:29:00.280 --> 00:29:03.727 they are a warning. 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.726 I urge you to consider what you are doing, 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.645 for we are helping this man 00:29:10.800 --> 00:29:14.202 to forge the very chains that bind us. 00:29:14.360 --> 00:29:18.763 Which brings me to the confession 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:20.888 of my true crime, 00:29:21.040 --> 00:29:24.123 so that I may redeem my honor. 00:29:26.520 --> 00:29:29.842 My crime 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.925 is only that I failed to kill Gezza Mott 00:29:34.120 --> 00:29:37.727 when I had the chance. 00:29:53.120 --> 00:29:55.407 We have enjoyed hundreds of years of peace 00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:58.171 under my family's rule. 00:29:58.320 --> 00:30:00.971 We brought order 00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:03.009 where there was chaos, 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:06.721 peace where there was nothing but war and bloodshed. 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:11.124 My subjects accept their roles, content in the knowledge 00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:13.760 they serve the greater good. 00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:18.369 If you think your words will move your fellow noblemen to dissent, 00:30:18.520 --> 00:30:21.251 then you're sorely misled. 00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.926 Are you prepared to receive my judgment 00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:25.570 and regain your honor?

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:45.168 Your Commander is fiercely loyal to you, Lord Bartok. 00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:48.049 And so it is fitting 00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:50.441 that you should meet your end 00:31:50.600 --> 00:31:52.125 by his sword. 00:31:56.840 --> 00:31:58.922 Should you refuse the order, 00:31:59.080 --> 00:32:02.880 all of Lord Bartok's blood relations shall be executed as well. 00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:05.281 - Minister! - First Council, 00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.926 the word of the Emperor has been spoken. 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:14.041 Commander! 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.008 Let him pass. 00:32:56.320 --> 00:32:59.767 - You will do this. - No. 00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:03.242 - I'm already dead. - I will take death at your side 00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:05.323 rather than participate in this spectacle. 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:09.963 I know you will, but how will that serve us? 00:33:14.280 --> 00:33:17.682 My Lord... 00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:22.129 - I cannot do this. - It's already done. 00:33:22.280 --> 00:33:25.443 Think only of what follows. 00:33:25.600 --> 00:33:30.049 The spirit of our clan will endure through you. 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:31.486 Commander Raiden! 00:33:35.040 --> 00:33:39.170 The Emperor's word is not a request that requires your decision. 00:33:47.080 --> 00:33:49.401 Remember this, Raiden, 00:33:49.560 --> 00:33:54.805 the wounds of honor are self-inflicted. 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:04.722 - Draw your sword. - My Lord, please. 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.169 Commander, draw your sword. 00:34:14.160 --> 00:34:18.961 Your devotion to the code is absolute, is it not?

00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.605 Did you see how he stood before you? He's a rabid dog, that one. 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:48.321 We control the warriors through their absolute loyalty to their masters. 00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:50.721 How do you think two million of them would react 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:52.689 if we eliminated one of their own 00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:55.446 for exemplifying the virtue of loyalty? 00:37:55.600 --> 00:37:58.331 What if he should seek vengeance? 00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:02.371 He is not to be touched. 00:38:02.520 --> 00:38:05.205 There are already too many disavowed 00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:07.488 looking for a reason to act. 00:38:07.680 --> 00:38:12.288 If you come upon real proof that he intends to move against you, 00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:17.287 then I will order his death. But not until then. 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:22.327 - Is that understood? - Yes, Master. Until then. 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:24.289 Shall I see to the eviction 00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:26.602 and the subsequent dispensing of the Bartok lands? 00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:28.728 The lands should be divided equally 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:31.247 so as not to favor one nobleman over another. 00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:33.721 Of course.
