00:02:14.850 --> 00:02:18.180
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

00:02:32.870 --> 00:02:36.210
<i>1633,</i> pax Christi,

00:02:36.290 --> 00:02:38.050
<i>praised be God.</i>

00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:41.460
<i>Although for us,</i>

00:02:41.540 --> 00:02:43.710
<i>there is little peace in this land now.</i>

00:02:45.050 --> 00:02:48.220
<i>I never knew Japan when it was
a country of light,</i>

00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:51.260
<i>but I have never known it
to be as dark as it is now.</i>

00:02:52.510 --> 00:02:54.090
<i>All our progress has ended.</i>

00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:57.680
<i>A new persecution, new repression,</i>

00:02:57.770 --> 00:02:59.070
<i>new suffering.</i>

00:03:01.650 --> 00:03:06.990
<i>They use ladles filled with holes,
so the drops would come out slowly</i>

00:03:07.070 --> 00:03:09.530
<i>and the pain would be prolonged.</i>

00:03:09.910 --> 00:03:12.080
<i>Each small splash of the water</i>

00:03:12.910 --> 00:03:15.170
<i>was like a burning coal.</i>

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:21.420
<i>The Governor of Nagasaki
took four friars</i>

00:03:21.670 --> 00:03:24.260
<i>and one of our own society to Unzen.</i>

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:27.640
<i>There are hot springs there.</i>

00:03:28.930 --> 00:03:34.100
<i>The Japanese call them "hells,"
partly, I think, in mockery</i>

00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:38.010
<i>and partly, I must tell you, in truth.</i>

00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:47.520
<i>The officials told our</i> padres

00:03:47.610 --> 00:03:50.820
<i>to abandon God
and the gospel of His love.</i>

00:03:52.030 --> 00:03:55.450
<i>But they not only refused to apostatize,</i>

00:03:55.540 --> 00:03:58.330
<i>they asked to be tortured,</i>

00:03:58.410 --> 00:04:01.240
<i>so they could demonstrate
the strength of their faith</i>

00:04:01.330 --> 00:04:03.370
<i>and the presence of God within them.</i>

00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:09.970
<i>Some remained on the mountain
for 33 days.</i>

00:04:14.430 --> 00:04:16.730
<i>The story of their courage</i>

00:04:16.810 --> 00:04:20.480
<i>gives hope to those of us priests
who remain here in secret.</i>

00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:24.060
<i>We will not abandon
our hidden Christians</i>

00:04:25.110 --> 00:04:26.950
<i>- who live in fear.</i>
- "...who live in fear."

00:04:29.110 --> 00:04:32.650
<i>We only grow stronger in His love.</i>

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.120
<i>Ferreira is lost to us.</i>

00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:47.880
This was his last letter.

00:04:50.170 --> 00:04:51.840
Why lost?

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:55.470
This letter came to us
when we were traveling from Portugal.

00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:57.590
It took years to reach us.

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.390
It was hidden, smuggled, ransomed.

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.320
Finally, put into my hand
by a Dutch trader,

00:05:04.690 --> 00:05:06.860
who had other news as well.

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.700
He's alive?

00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:14.740
That he apostatized,

00:05:15.820 --> 00:05:20.200
that he denounced God in public
and surrendered the faith,

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:22.700
and is now living as a Japanese.

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:30.000
That's not possible.

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:35.260
Father Ferreira risked his life
to spread our faith all over Japan.

00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:38.010
We're here today because of him.

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:39.840
Yes. He was...

00:05:39.930 --> 00:05:41.840
He's the strongest of us.

00:05:42.310 --> 00:05:43.450
<i>He wrote those words</i>

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.360
<i>during the most
sweeping persecution of all.</i>

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:48.700
<i>Now, things are even worse.</i>

00:05:48.770 --> 00:05:52.690
<i>Thousands are dead
because of what we brought them.</i>

00:05:53.070 --> 00:05:55.580
<i>Thousands more
have given up the faith.</i>

00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:01.080
You said this trader brought news,
but it's not proven, is it?

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.870
It could be a slander created
to further discredit our faith.

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:09.130
Given the extent of the persecution
in that country...

00:06:09.210 --> 00:06:11.230
Yes. But, respectfully,
there must be multitudes there

00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:13.040
- who need us, too.
- And the fact,

00:06:13.460 --> 00:06:15.040
there has been no other word of him,

00:06:15.130 --> 00:06:16.840
and the news brought by the Dutch...

00:06:16.930 --> 00:06:18.350
Rumor, Father, only.

00:06:18.430 --> 00:06:21.770
I must conclude it is true.

00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.640
If it is true, Father,

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.610
what would it mean

00:06:31.940 --> 00:06:33.350
for the Jesuits?

00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.480
For the whole of Catholic Europe?

00:06:36.610 --> 00:06:39.990
It seems to me that our mission here
is more urgent than ever.

00:06:40.070 --> 00:06:42.610
We must go find Father Ferreira.

00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:47.120
I cannot allow that.

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.050
How... How can we
abandon our mission?

00:06:54.130 --> 00:06:57.090
Your mission, Father Garupe,
was to find word of Ferreira.

00:06:57.180 --> 00:06:58.600
You have found it.

00:07:00.340 --> 00:07:01.420
Excuse me, Father,

00:07:01.510 --> 00:07:04.970
but this letter
relates the most terrible history,

00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:07.900
but it says nothing of Ferreira himself.

00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:09.650
Whatever happened to him
is still unknown.

00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:12.950
All that we know of his fate,

00:07:13.020 --> 00:07:15.480
is this one slander.

00:07:17.110 --> 00:07:19.780
Permit me, Father Valignano, but...

00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:24.540
I... I believe our mission still stands.

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.180
Do you know how many Christians
the authorities executed in Shimabara?

00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:36.670
Thousands.

00:07:36.760 --> 00:07:38.510
Tens of thousands,

00:07:38.590 --> 00:07:40.000
most of them beheaded.

00:07:40.340 --> 00:07:41.920
No, it's far too dangerous for you.

00:07:42.010 --> 00:07:43.420
Yes, but, Father,

00:07:43.510 --> 00:07:46.050
how do we neglect the man
that nurtured us in the faith?

00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.850
He shaped the world for us.

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:50.720
And even if the slander should be true,

00:07:50.810 --> 00:07:52.560
then Father Ferreira is damned.

00:07:52.650 --> 00:07:53.900
Yes.

00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:56.400
We have no choice, but to save his soul.

00:07:58.820 --> 00:08:01.110
This is in your hearts, then?
Both of you?

00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:02.370
- Yes.
- It is.

00:08:02.990 --> 00:08:04.570
Like our first fervor.

00:08:09.710 --> 00:08:12.260
Then I must trust God has put it there.

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:17.220
He calls you to a great trial.

00:08:17.340 --> 00:08:20.470
The moment you set foot in that country,

00:08:20.550 --> 00:08:22.510
you step into high danger.

00:08:24.430 --> 00:08:26.940
You will be the last two priests to go.

00:08:27.390 --> 00:08:28.890
<i>An army of two.</i>

00:08:32.690 --> 00:08:34.820
<i>May 25th, 1640.</i>

00:08:34.900 --> 00:08:36.110
Pax Christi...

00:08:36.190 --> 00:08:37.980
<i>God be praised.</i>

00:08:38.070 --> 00:08:40.490
<i>Father Valignano, as I begin these lines,</i>

00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:42.150
<i>I cannot be sure
that when they are done</i>

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:43.580
<i>they will ever reach you.</i>

00:08:44.410 --> 00:08:46.910
<i>But I want to maintain
your confidence in our mission</i>

00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:50.370
<i>and vindicate your faith in us.</i>

00:08:50.450 --> 00:08:51.620
Careful.

00:08:51.710 --> 00:08:54.010
<i>Today, there was wonderful news.</i>

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.290
<i>Your Mr. Chun
has found us a Chinese boat.</i>

00:08:57.380 --> 00:08:59.800
<i>It will smuggle us into Japan.</i>

00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:03.920
<i>And he claims he's found
the only Japanese in Macau,</i>

00:09:04.430 --> 00:09:06.980
<i>to be our most valued guide
in that country.</i>

00:09:07.050 --> 00:09:08.590
Come on, this way.

00:09:18.610 --> 00:09:22.200
<i>Finally, we meet our first Japanese.</i>

00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:24.910
He's not much, you will see.

00:09:24.990 --> 00:09:28.120
But after almost two months,
he's the only one.

00:09:42.420 --> 00:09:43.460
Hey.

00:09:45.130 --> 00:09:46.170
Hey, wake up.

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:49.560
Come on, get up.

00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.200
He was drifting on sea,
Portuguese bring him.

00:10:00.150 --> 00:10:03.320
He's stuck here, wants to go home.

00:10:07.110 --> 00:10:09.240
Is he... Are you really Japanese?

00:10:09.990 --> 00:10:11.740
Answer them, you fool.

00:10:11.830 --> 00:10:13.460
These are <i>padres.</i>

00:10:15.540 --> 00:10:16.920
Kichijiro!

00:10:18.290 --> 00:10:20.290
You fool, they will take you home!

00:10:23.670 --> 00:10:25.170
Where is your home?

00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:28.460
Nagasaki.

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:31.100
What's your work?

00:10:31.180 --> 00:10:32.970
He will do what you say.

00:10:33.350 --> 00:10:34.690
Fisherman.

00:10:36.140 --> 00:10:37.680
You know our language?

00:10:39.900 --> 00:10:41.070
Little.

00:10:41.150 --> 00:10:43.240
Yes. Little.

00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:47.450
You learned it from the Jesuit <i>padres.</i>

00:10:47.530 --> 00:10:50.070
You must have, so you're Christian?

00:10:50.490 --> 00:10:51.530
No!

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:54.450
No Christian.

00:10:56.040 --> 00:10:58.880
Good guide for you. He's Christian, too.

00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:01.500
I'm not Christian!

00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:04.040
Christian die!

00:11:06.090 --> 00:11:07.550
They...

00:11:07.630 --> 00:11:09.630
They die in Nagasaki.

00:11:12.890 --> 00:11:14.270
Listen to me.

00:11:15.770 --> 00:11:17.230
We have money.

00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:21.440
If you can help us,
we can take you home.

00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:22.850
We can take you home to Japan.

00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:24.810
Would you like to go home to Japan?

00:11:26.030 --> 00:11:27.280
I want...

00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:29.610
I want to go home.

00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:31.070
Not for money.

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.320
Japan is the country of my family!

00:11:36.660 --> 00:11:37.780
I beg you.

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:39.950
Don't abandon me here, Father.

00:11:40.540 --> 00:11:41.790
Please!

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.300
Take me home.

00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:48.750
He will be good guide.

00:11:49.930 --> 00:11:51.470
Promise me.

00:11:51.550 --> 00:11:53.470
- I'll clean him up.
- They take me home!

00:11:54.560 --> 00:11:55.900
Promise me.

00:12:08.900 --> 00:12:10.020
Our guide...

00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:12.490
He can't be Christian.

00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.410
He says he's not,
but can you believe anything he says?

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:20.120
I don't even want to believe
he's Japanese.

00:12:23.670 --> 00:12:26.930
<i>And He said to them,
"Go ye into the whole world</i>

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.170
<i>"and preach the gospel
to every living creature,</i>

00:12:30.260 --> 00:12:32.520
<i>"even to one such as this."</i>

00:12:33.510 --> 00:12:35.840
<i>So our Lord commanded,</i>

00:12:35.930 --> 00:12:39.600
<i>and as I prepare to do His work,
I see His face before me.</i>

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.110
<i>He looks as He must have
when He commanded Peter,</i>

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:47.950
<i>"Feed my lambs,</i>

00:12:48.030 --> 00:12:50.490
<i>"feed my lambs, feed my sheep."</i>

00:12:51.950 --> 00:12:54.540
<i>It fascinates me.</i>

00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:56.830
<i>I feel such great love for it.</i>

00:13:03.710 --> 00:13:07.380
<i>Garupe and I had
absolutely no luggage to bring to Japan,</i>

00:13:07.460 --> 00:13:09.290
<i>except our own hearts.</i>

00:13:10.010 --> 00:13:13.430
<i>And during the calm
and storm of the voyage,</i>

00:13:13.510 --> 00:13:16.890
<i>I reflected upon the 20 years
which has passed</i>

00:13:16.970 --> 00:13:19.470
<i>since the persecution has broken out.</i>

00:13:20.770 --> 00:13:22.980
<i>The black soil of Japan</i>

00:13:23.060 --> 00:13:26.770
<i>is filled with the wailing
of so many Christians.</i>

00:13:28.020 --> 00:13:31.360
<i>The red blood of priests
has flowed profusely.</i>

00:13:32.530 --> 00:13:35.790
<i>The walls of the churches
have fallen down.</i>

00:13:48.130 --> 00:13:49.550
<i>Shaba.</i>

00:14:00.850 --> 00:14:02.810
We've trusted that man with our lives.

00:14:05.850 --> 00:14:07.520
Jesus trusted even worse.

00:14:08.520 --> 00:14:09.850
Hurry.

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:11.910
Come.

00:14:28.920 --> 00:14:30.550
Here, here!

00:14:30.630 --> 00:14:32.340
Kichijiro, where are you going?

00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.350
Kichijiro!

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:40.670
He's going to betray us.

00:14:46.770 --> 00:14:48.070
Kichijiro!

00:14:58.030 --> 00:15:00.570
Fact is fact.
What you will do, do quickly.

00:15:56.420 --> 00:15:57.790
<i>Padre?</i>

00:16:10.810 --> 00:16:12.930
Hurry. We have no time.

00:16:13.020 --> 00:16:15.640
No time! Come, come, come.

00:16:18.610 --> 00:16:19.860
What is this place?

00:16:20.490 --> 00:16:21.870
Tomogi place.

00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:24.330
- Japan?
- Please be quick!

00:16:24.660 --> 00:16:27.920
So gentiles cannot see you. So, come.

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.040
- Gentiles?
- Yes.

00:16:29.370 --> 00:16:30.830
Come, come. Quickly!

00:16:30.910 --> 00:16:32.450
Quick!

00:16:33.250 --> 00:16:34.250
Come!

00:16:38.090 --> 00:16:39.720
I'm sorry, <i>Padre.</i>

00:16:40.130 --> 00:16:45.300
Too dangerous.
There are more executions than ever.

00:16:45.390 --> 00:16:48.770
If they know we're Christian,
we will be killed.

00:16:48.850 --> 00:16:50.860
The Lord hears you.

00:16:51.730 --> 00:16:52.900
Yes.

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:55.360
He sent you to us.

00:16:56.570 --> 00:16:57.910
Please.

00:17:13.580 --> 00:17:16.250
Please. Enter, enter.

00:17:35.190 --> 00:17:36.320
Oh. Thank you.

00:17:37.310 --> 00:17:40.310
We have little food, if you'd like.

00:17:42.320 --> 00:17:44.990
You will be safe here until morning.

00:17:45.780 --> 00:17:47.490
Sit, sit! Please.

00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:51.280
Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

00:17:56.790 --> 00:17:58.460
How do you live like this?

00:17:59.630 --> 00:18:02.890
I mean, how do you live as Christians

00:18:03.300 --> 00:18:06.850
when the danger is so great?

00:18:07.010 --> 00:18:08.970
You understand?

00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:11.850
We pray in secret,

00:18:11.970 --> 00:18:13.890
but we have our <i>Jiisama.</i>

00:18:14.310 --> 00:18:16.150
<i>- Jiisama?
- Jiisama.</i>

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:17.480
<i>Jiisama.</i>

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:19.770
Who is the <i>Jiisama?</i>

00:18:28.280 --> 00:18:29.280
You lead them?

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:31.200
You lead the village?

00:18:31.330 --> 00:18:34.290
- In prayer, in devotions?
<i>- Padre,</i> too.

00:18:37.330 --> 00:18:40.830
<i>The only sacrament
he can perform is baptism.</i>

00:18:43.460 --> 00:18:45.840
<i>We worship with the</i> Jiisama.

00:18:46.510 --> 00:18:48.430
<i>We hide the Christian images.</i>

00:18:48.510 --> 00:18:49.720
<i>Amen.</i>

00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:51.630
But God still sees us.

00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:54.180
- Yes?
- Yes.

00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.010
Even though we do not have a priest

00:18:57.100 --> 00:18:58.470
until now.

00:19:00.860 --> 00:19:03.950
Ah! Please eat!

00:19:06.820 --> 00:19:08.860
Please eat.

00:19:09.110 --> 00:19:10.280
Thank you.

00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:26.540
Amen.

00:19:27.550 --> 00:19:31.140
Every Christian here
is part of our secret church.

00:19:32.050 --> 00:19:33.470
This... This faith...

00:19:34.560 --> 00:19:37.730
This faith you have is so strong.

00:19:38.190 --> 00:19:39.690
You have such courage.

00:19:40.690 --> 00:19:46.160
Is it only here that there is such faith
or in other villages, too?

00:19:46.570 --> 00:19:50.080
We do not know about other villages.

00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:51.750
We never go there.

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:53.870
Mmm, you don't go?

00:19:55.330 --> 00:19:58.340
Other villages are so dangerous.

00:19:58.410 --> 00:20:01.200
You do not know who to trust.

00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:04.590
Everyone fears the Inquisitor

00:20:04.670 --> 00:20:06.670
Inoue-<i>sama.</i>

00:20:07.170 --> 00:20:08.750
Inform on Christian,

00:20:08.840 --> 00:20:11.260
and they give you 100 pieces of silver.

00:20:12.850 --> 00:20:15.940
200 for a Christian brother.

00:20:16.350 --> 00:20:20.400
And for a priest, 300.

00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:22.270
Three hundred?

00:20:24.770 --> 00:20:26.940
You must go to the other villages.

00:20:28.110 --> 00:20:30.690
You must let them know
that priests are here again.

00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:34.780
That we are here in Japan, again,
it will be good.

00:20:39.450 --> 00:20:42.660
There was a, um, a <i>padre,</i>

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:46.170
who was here called Ferreira.

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.710
Father Ferreira.

00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:50.470
Have you heard of him?

00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:53.180
Like us.

00:20:54.300 --> 00:20:56.510
- No.
- No?

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.650
You do not eat?

00:21:07.230 --> 00:21:11.150
It is you who feed us.

00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.230
<i>They do not dare take us
anywhere by the main road.</i>

00:22:22.270 --> 00:22:25.770
<i>To hide like this
must be a terrible burden.</i>

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:30.610
<i>I was overwhelmed by the love
I felt from these people,</i>

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:33.570
<i>even though their faces couldn't show it.</i>

00:22:34.650 --> 00:22:38.490
<i>Long years of secrecy
have made their faces into masks.</i>

00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:42.170
<i>Why do they have to suffer so much?</i>

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:46.200
<i>Why did God make them
to bear such a burden?</i>

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:49.460
This is the safest here.

00:22:51.170 --> 00:22:53.300
This hut for making charcoal.

00:22:56.010 --> 00:22:58.100
<i>When you hear this sound...</i>

00:23:01.350 --> 00:23:03.600
It will be us.

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:06.140
If you hear anything else...

00:23:17.780 --> 00:23:19.120
Hide.

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.160
<i>During the day, we keep
the door of our hut tightly closed</i>

00:23:27.290 --> 00:23:31.340
<i>and refrain from the slightest noise
lest anyone passing outside may hear it.</i>

00:23:33.630 --> 00:23:36.050
<i>Only the dark makes it safe for us</i>

00:23:36.130 --> 00:23:39.710
<i>to go down into the village
and minister to the faithful.</i>

00:23:43.890 --> 00:23:44.980
<i>Padre!</i>

00:23:46.220 --> 00:23:47.350
Please!

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.570
<i>Finally, they had priests
to forgive their sins.</i>

00:23:54.230 --> 00:23:55.850
Bless me, <i>Padre,</i>

00:23:56.320 --> 00:23:58.330
for I have sinned.

00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:00.330
- Confession.
- I have sinned.

00:24:17.210 --> 00:24:19.320
<i>We heard their confessions all night.</i>

00:24:19.340 --> 00:24:21.130
But then, <i>Padre...</i>

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:23.310
<i>Even though we could not
always be sure</i>

00:24:23.390 --> 00:24:24.940
<i>what was being confessed.</i>

00:24:28.390 --> 00:24:31.390
<i>And now, Christianity brought love.</i>

00:24:33.020 --> 00:24:35.230
<i>The dignity for the first time</i>

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:38.370
<i>of being treated like
God's creatures, not animals.</i>

00:24:38.610 --> 00:24:43.190
<i>And the promise that all their suffering
would not end in nothingness,</i>

00:24:43.950 --> 00:24:46.210
<i>but in salvation.</i>

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:51.870
<i>We offer mass in the dead of night,</i>

00:24:52.250 --> 00:24:54.460
<i>just as they did in the Catacombs.</i>

00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:56.540
<i>Quietly.</i>

00:24:56.630 --> 00:25:00.600
<i>In nomine Patris,
et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.</i>

00:25:01.090 --> 00:25:02.090
Amen.

00:25:27.780 --> 00:25:29.240
- Amen.
- Amen.

00:25:29.330 --> 00:25:30.920
- Amen.
- Amen.

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:37.590
We now always God in <i>paraíso?</i>

00:25:41.010 --> 00:25:42.600
<i>Paraíso?</i>

00:25:42.670 --> 00:25:44.090
- Yes.
- Paradise?

00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:45.560
Yes, paradise.

00:25:45.760 --> 00:25:47.420
- Now?
- Yes.

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:50.390
No.

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:52.510
No.

00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:55.810
But God is there now.

00:25:57.150 --> 00:25:58.650
And forever.

00:25:59.150 --> 00:26:01.990
He prepares a place
for us all, even now.

00:26:12.790 --> 00:26:15.130
I'm sorry, Sebastião, for my impatience.

00:26:17.630 --> 00:26:19.380
I'm ashamed of my frustration.

00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:23.920
The child is safe
in the grace of God now

00:26:24.010 --> 00:26:25.510
and that is what is important.

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.140
And you're a bad Jesuit.

00:26:30.470 --> 00:26:31.590
Hmm.

00:26:45.150 --> 00:26:47.190
Sick of being trapped in here all day.

00:26:50.530 --> 00:26:51.570
Eat.

00:26:52.370 --> 00:26:55.420
We don't even know
if Father Ferreira is alive or dead.

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.920
The villagers never even heard of him.

00:26:58.750 --> 00:27:01.040
These people are so frightened.

00:27:02.300 --> 00:27:04.640
There's fear over their head, and lice.

00:27:04.710 --> 00:27:07.590
They have us, we comfort them.

00:27:08.550 --> 00:27:10.260
How much longer can we do that?

00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:13.900
We asked for this mission, Francisco.

00:27:14.600 --> 00:27:17.020
We prayed for this in the exercises.

00:27:17.100 --> 00:27:19.560
God heard us then,
and He hears us now.

00:27:19.650 --> 00:27:23.110
Well, then, may He guide us to Ferreira
so we can know the truth.

00:27:26.990 --> 00:27:29.330
You think it's possible
that his strength gave out

00:27:29.410 --> 00:27:31.500
and he groveled to this Inquisitor Inoue,

00:27:31.570 --> 00:27:33.780
went on his knees like a dog?

00:27:33.870 --> 00:27:35.580
That's still just a rumor.

00:27:36.290 --> 00:27:38.960
Even if this Inoue
is the devil everyone claims,

00:27:39.040 --> 00:27:41.080
Ferreira would stand up to him.

00:27:48.470 --> 00:27:50.890
One of us must go to Nagasaki
and find him.

00:27:50.970 --> 00:27:52.140
It's too dangerous.

00:27:52.800 --> 00:27:54.720
For us, for the people who shelter us.

00:27:56.390 --> 00:27:59.430
We send Kichijiro,
he brings back word we can act on.

00:27:59.520 --> 00:28:00.730
Are you mad?

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:02.860
Where is he?

00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:04.320
He's never here.

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:07.480
He's always drunk,
you know he can't be trusted.

00:28:07.570 --> 00:28:08.580
What do we do?

00:28:08.650 --> 00:28:10.410
We must do something
to find Father Ferreira.

00:28:24.540 --> 00:28:25.790
Let's go out.

00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:27.090
Let's risk it.

00:28:27.170 --> 00:28:28.540
Just for a moment.

00:28:41.850 --> 00:28:42.850
Look.

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.580
That's God's sign.

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:08.630
Don't move.

00:29:11.470 --> 00:29:13.310
Someone's here watching us.

00:29:48.090 --> 00:29:49.300
<i>Padre?</i>

00:29:54.130 --> 00:29:55.210
<i>Padre?</i>

00:30:00.520 --> 00:30:02.730
No, no, no. That's not the signal.

00:30:21.410 --> 00:30:22.950
<i>Padre.</i>

00:30:23.870 --> 00:30:26.830
Do not be afraid. It's all right.

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:30.580
We won't hurt you.

00:30:31.420 --> 00:30:34.880
We Christian, <i>Padre.</i> Christian!

00:30:35.470 --> 00:30:36.930
Christian.

00:30:40.850 --> 00:30:42.810
We need you.

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:54.060
No, no!

00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:56.900
Sebastião, hey! No! Sebastião!

00:31:00.410 --> 00:31:01.920
<i>Padre.</i>

00:31:04.750 --> 00:31:07.750
We have frightened you. We are sorry.

00:31:10.170 --> 00:31:14.800
We want to ask you to come
to our village. To Gotō.

00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:17.840
People miss our faith there.

00:31:18.090 --> 00:31:20.260
Our children need you.

00:31:20.850 --> 00:31:23.440
We have no mass, no confession.

00:31:26.770 --> 00:31:28.610
All we can do is pray.

00:31:32.570 --> 00:31:34.050
<i>How did you know we were here?</i>

00:31:37.110 --> 00:31:39.860
Who told you?
Was it one of the faithful?

00:31:42.910 --> 00:31:46.710
It was a Christian
of our village. Kichijiro.

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:49.500
Kichijiro?

00:31:53.040 --> 00:31:54.670
Our... Our Kichijiro?

00:31:55.550 --> 00:31:57.350
He said he came here.

00:31:58.260 --> 00:31:59.260
With you.

00:32:00.590 --> 00:32:02.130
Yes, but he's not a Christian.

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:03.980
Yes, he is.

00:32:05.430 --> 00:32:09.560
It's true.
He spoke against God to the Inquisitor,

00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:10.810
Inoue-<i>sama.</i>

00:32:11.310 --> 00:32:13.940
<i>But that was eight years ago.</i>

00:32:24.830 --> 00:32:27.210
<i>His whole family was put to death.</i>

00:32:28.330 --> 00:32:30.170
He spoke against God.

00:32:30.330 --> 00:32:32.500
But he still believes.

00:32:37.170 --> 00:32:38.380
<i>No. No.</i>

00:32:38.510 --> 00:32:40.350
They need priests on Gotō.

00:32:40.430 --> 00:32:41.430
No, <i>Padre.</i>

00:32:41.510 --> 00:32:43.150
But, MOKICHI,
we will return here.

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:45.070
- No, no, <i>Padre.</i>
- We will return here.

00:32:45.100 --> 00:32:48.440
I do not know
the people of Gotō.

00:32:48.520 --> 00:32:51.980
So I do not know they can be trusted.

00:32:52.100 --> 00:32:54.600
These are Christians. Like us.

00:32:54.730 --> 00:32:56.850
Kichijiro told them to come here.

00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:58.990
I'm not sure why.

00:32:59.070 --> 00:33:00.490
Why does he do anything?

00:33:00.820 --> 00:33:02.480
Kichijiro brought us here to Tomogi.

00:33:06.030 --> 00:33:08.070
It'll only be for a few days.

00:33:11.370 --> 00:33:16.330
But one will stay here? Please.

00:33:19.590 --> 00:33:20.600
- Huh.
- Yes.

00:34:15.060 --> 00:34:16.180
We're losing them.

00:35:16.460 --> 00:35:17.550
That's right.

00:35:33.010 --> 00:35:35.550
<i>The fear I'd felt
on the journey faded away.</i>

00:35:36.680 --> 00:35:40.520
<i>Because the joy which greeted me
was almost as great as my own.</i>

00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.780
<i>Even the sight of Kichijiro
was somehow welcome.</i>

00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:51.490
Come.

00:35:51.570 --> 00:35:53.860
<i>I thanked God
for bringing me here.</i>

00:36:02.590 --> 00:36:05.720
<i>On that day, the faithful
received fresh hope.</i>

00:36:07.720 --> 00:36:09.060
<i>And I was renewed.</i>

00:36:21.230 --> 00:36:22.990
<i>And they came to me.</i>

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:28.320
<i>Not only from Gotō,
for the Christians made their way</i>

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:30.570
<i>through the mountains
from other villages.</i>

00:36:32.070 --> 00:36:34.400
<i>I felt God Himself was so near.</i>

00:36:35.620 --> 00:36:37.830
<i>Their lives here are so hard.</i>

00:36:37.910 --> 00:36:40.280
<i>They live like beasts
and die like beasts.</i>

00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:45.670
<i>But Christ did not die
for the good and beautiful.</i>

00:36:45.750 --> 00:36:47.500
<i>That is easy enough.</i>

00:36:47.590 --> 00:36:51.810
<i>The hard thing is to die
for the miserable and corrupt.</i>

00:36:53.470 --> 00:36:56.100
<i>But here, I knew I was one of them</i>

00:36:56.600 --> 00:36:59.270
<i>and I shared the hunger of their spirit.</i>

00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:05.360
<i>Another prayer was answered on Gotō.</i>

00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:09.230
<i>It was there I learned the first real news</i>

00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:11.950
<i>of someone who might know
of Father Ferreira.</i>

00:37:12.030 --> 00:37:13.040
Oh.

00:37:13.450 --> 00:37:14.910
<i>Padre</i> Ferreira.

00:37:14.990 --> 00:37:16.360
<i>Padre</i> Ferreira.

00:37:16.620 --> 00:37:18.080
- Yes, do you know him?
- Yes.

00:37:18.160 --> 00:37:19.240
- You know him?
- Yes.

00:37:19.330 --> 00:37:20.790
- You've seen him?
- Yes.

00:37:23.250 --> 00:37:24.760
When?

00:37:25.790 --> 00:37:28.710
He made a pray for infant and the...

00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:30.390
- Infant.
- Eu-fot?

00:37:30.460 --> 00:37:31.500
Infant.

00:37:32.170 --> 00:37:33.880
- Baby! Baby!
- Infant.

00:37:33.970 --> 00:37:35.220
- Yeah!
- Sorry, infant.

00:37:35.300 --> 00:37:37.300
And, uh, sick, sick.

00:37:38.470 --> 00:37:40.090
At, uh, Shimachi.

00:37:40.680 --> 00:37:42.600
- Shimachi. Shimachi.
- Shimachi.

00:37:43.310 --> 00:37:47.480
But, uh, that was before the trouble.

00:37:48.690 --> 00:37:49.730
Oh, where is this?

00:37:49.820 --> 00:37:52.660
- Near Nagasaki. Nagasaki.
- Nagasaki.

00:37:52.990 --> 00:37:56.000
But so dangerous. Dangerous to go.

00:37:56.950 --> 00:37:58.920
No?

00:37:58.990 --> 00:38:00.550
I don't know. I don't know.

00:38:02.660 --> 00:38:05.490
<i>They are desperate
for tangible signs of faith.</i>

00:38:06.290 --> 00:38:07.960
<i>So I provided what I could.</i>

00:38:09.710 --> 00:38:12.460
<i>I worry they value
these poor signs of faith</i>

00:38:12.550 --> 00:38:14.010
<i>more than faith itself.</i>

00:38:16.140 --> 00:38:18.140
<i>But how could we deny them?</i>

00:38:19.720 --> 00:38:22.720
<i>And finally, I had to part with my rosary.</i>

00:38:41.870 --> 00:38:43.250
Kichijiro!

00:38:43.580 --> 00:38:44.880
Kichijiro!

00:38:47.830 --> 00:38:50.620
<i>In Gotō,
I was completely overwhelmed.</i>

00:38:50.710 --> 00:38:55.210
<i>I baptized over 100 adults and children,
heard confessions without number.</i>

00:38:56.010 --> 00:39:00.390
<i>But it was from Kichijiro
that I felt the greatest need.</i>

00:39:03.390 --> 00:39:05.050
You did not take the rosary.

00:39:05.850 --> 00:39:07.260
I did not deserve it.

00:39:08.190 --> 00:39:09.240
Why?

00:39:11.230 --> 00:39:12.650
'Cause you denied God?

00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:14.410
Yes.

00:39:18.110 --> 00:39:19.530
<i>But only to live!</i>

00:39:21.080 --> 00:39:22.670
<i>My whole family...</i>

00:39:22.740 --> 00:39:24.530
<i>The Inquisitor, Inoue,</i>

00:39:24.620 --> 00:39:27.120
wanted us to give up our faith.

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:31.760
Stamp on Jesus with our foot.

00:39:33.250 --> 00:39:35.080
Just once, just pressed.

00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:38.430
But they would not.

00:39:41.260 --> 00:39:44.220
But I did.

00:39:54.150 --> 00:39:56.980
<i>But I could not abandon them,</i>

00:39:59.110 --> 00:40:01.570
even if I had abandoned God.

00:40:08.870 --> 00:40:11.580
<i>So I watched them die.</i>

00:40:17.470 --> 00:40:19.390
<i>Wherever I go,</i>

00:40:19.470 --> 00:40:23.100
<i>I see the fire and smell the flesh.</i>

00:40:24.220 --> 00:40:28.970
<i>When I saw you and</i> Padre <i>Garupe,
for the first time,</i>

00:40:29.810 --> 00:40:31.100
<i>I started to believe</i>

00:40:33.190 --> 00:40:35.320
that God might take me back!

00:40:37.780 --> 00:40:40.580
Because in my dreams

00:40:42.530 --> 00:40:45.530
the fire was no longer so bright!

00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:06.180
You want me to hear
your confession now?

00:41:15.520 --> 00:41:17.020
Bless me, <i>Padre,</i>

00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:20.690
for I have sinned.

00:41:30.620 --> 00:41:35.040
<i>Those six days at Gotō
and Kichijiro's renewal of faith</i>

00:41:35.330 --> 00:41:38.000
<i>made me feel that my life was of value</i>

00:41:38.500 --> 00:41:41.880
<i>and that I could really be of use
to people in this country</i>

00:41:41.970 --> 00:41:43.220
<i>at the ends of the Earth.</i>

00:41:48.010 --> 00:41:51.890
Men from the Inquisitor,
they are in the village.

00:41:52.020 --> 00:41:53.480
They took Ichizo.

00:45:22.980 --> 00:45:26.360
No, we are
not afraid to die, <i>Padres,</i>

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:28.480
and we will never surrender you.

00:45:28.570 --> 00:45:29.990
No one should die.

00:45:30.070 --> 00:45:33.540
No. But we will be in danger
whether you go or stay.

00:45:33.610 --> 00:45:35.400
So stay. Stay.

00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:37.490
We will never surrender you.

00:45:37.580 --> 00:45:40.000
They'll keep coming back if we stay.

00:45:40.080 --> 00:45:42.840
They could destroy the entire village
and kill you all, while we hide.

00:45:42.870 --> 00:45:44.120
No.

00:45:44.210 --> 00:45:46.720
Yes, we have no choice, Mokichi.
It is the only thing to do.

00:45:46.790 --> 00:45:48.620
This will draw the danger
away from you.

00:45:49.550 --> 00:45:51.470
We can hide on Kichijiro's island.

00:45:54.890 --> 00:45:56.060
My island?

00:45:57.720 --> 00:46:01.800
No. There is no difference
between there and here.

00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:04.150
They will come to Gotō.
They will search.

00:46:05.150 --> 00:46:06.990
Same thing will happen.

00:46:45.350 --> 00:46:46.970
You will stay.

00:46:54.240 --> 00:46:57.330
Me, Mokichi,

00:46:57.410 --> 00:46:59.540
and two more hostages.

00:48:05.770 --> 00:48:07.980
I'm not an informer!

00:48:08.270 --> 00:48:09.780
I confessed all my sins.

00:48:24.200 --> 00:48:25.200
Hey!

00:48:46.270 --> 00:48:47.310
<i>Padre?</i>

00:48:54.650 --> 00:48:55.650
<i>Pa... Padre.</i>

00:48:57.150 --> 00:49:01.110
If we are forced to trample

00:49:01.530 --> 00:49:04.650
on the Lord, on the <i>fumie...</i>

00:49:08.160 --> 00:49:10.240
You must pray for courage, Mokichi.

00:49:10.830 --> 00:49:12.490
But if we do not do what they want,

00:49:13.290 --> 00:49:16.000
then it can be danger
for everyone in the village.

00:49:16.210 --> 00:49:17.830
They can be put in prison!

00:49:18.420 --> 00:49:19.670
Taken away forever.

00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:22.340
What should we do?

00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:25.260
Trample.

00:49:25.550 --> 00:49:26.760
Trample.

00:49:28.220 --> 00:49:29.640
It's all right to trample.

00:49:31.560 --> 00:49:32.850
What are you saying?

00:49:35.230 --> 00:49:36.230
You can't!

00:49:38.530 --> 00:49:41.580
Mokichi, you can't.

00:49:58.090 --> 00:49:59.090
Amen.

00:50:13.940 --> 00:50:15.820
I make this for the <i>Jiisama.</i>

00:50:17.060 --> 00:50:18.390
It was all we had.

00:50:19.980 --> 00:50:21.230
Until you came.

00:50:23.740 --> 00:50:26.580
Take this. Please.

00:50:29.240 --> 00:50:30.610
In Jesus' name.

00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:39.630
Your faith gives me strength, Mokichi.

00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:44.100
I wish I could give as much to you.

00:50:45.090 --> 00:50:46.590
My love for God is strong.

00:50:49.050 --> 00:50:50.760
Could that be the same as faith?

00:50:53.060 --> 00:50:54.110
Yes.

00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:58.440
Yes. I think it must be.

00:51:14.290 --> 00:51:15.540
<i>These people</i>

00:51:15.620 --> 00:51:18.580
<i>are the most devoted
of God's creatures on Earth.</i>

00:51:20.590 --> 00:51:23.930
<i>Father Valignano, I confess,
I began to wonder.</i>

00:51:25.130 --> 00:51:29.720
<i>God sends us trials to test us
and everything He does is good.</i>

00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:32.800
<i>And I prayed to undergo trials
like his son.</i>

00:51:33.850 --> 00:51:37.400
<i>But why must their trial be so terrible?</i>

00:51:41.020 --> 00:51:43.520
<i>And why, when I look in my own heart,</i>

00:51:44.780 --> 00:51:47.950
<i>do the answers I give them
seem so weak?</i>

00:52:44.420 --> 00:52:46.900
<i>All of them
did as they were commanded.</i>

00:52:48.130 --> 00:52:49.500
<i>But it was not enough.</i>

00:54:39.330 --> 00:54:41.920
<i>Old Ichizo would not do it.</i>

00:54:42.040 --> 00:54:43.670
<i>Mokichi could not.</i>

00:54:45.080 --> 00:54:47.500
<i>But Kichijiro succeeded
where the rest failed.</i>

00:54:49.340 --> 00:54:52.010
<i>I must believe he suffered
along with the others.</i>

00:55:36.630 --> 00:55:38.390
<i>They were given sake,</i>

00:55:39.050 --> 00:55:42.380
<i>as the Roman soldier
offered vinegar to the dying Christ.</i>

00:55:46.890 --> 00:55:49.430
<i>I prayed they remembered
our Lord's suffering</i>

00:55:50.270 --> 00:55:52.390
<i>and took courage and comfort from it.</i>

00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:24.130
<i>It took Mokichi four days to die.</i>

00:58:30.470 --> 00:58:32.390
<i>At the end, he sang a hymn.</i>

00:58:33.770 --> 00:58:35.900
<i>His voice was the only sound.</i>

00:58:36.900 --> 00:58:38.240
<i>The people of the village</i>

00:58:38.310 --> 00:58:41.230
<i>who were gathered on the beach
were always silent.</i>

01:00:33.600 --> 01:00:35.560
<i>The people were watched closely</i>

01:00:35.680 --> 01:00:38.180
<i>so the bodies could not be
given a Christian burial.</i>

01:00:41.690 --> 01:00:44.110
<i>Mokichi's body
was so heavy with water,</i>

01:00:44.190 --> 01:00:47.730
<i>it turned the flames to smoke
before it finally caught fire.</i>

01:00:50.780 --> 01:00:53.240
<i>Any bones that remained
were scattered in the ocean</i>

01:00:53.370 --> 01:00:55.370
<i>so they could not be venerated.</i>

01:01:04.710 --> 01:01:08.960
<i>Father Valignano, you will say
that their death is not meaningless.</i>

01:01:09.050 --> 01:01:11.890
<i>Surely God heard their prayers
as they died.</i>

01:01:13.050 --> 01:01:14.760
<i>But did He hear their screams?</i>

01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:18.680
<i>How can I explain His silence
to these people</i>

01:01:18.770 --> 01:01:20.820
<i>who have endured so much?</i>

01:01:21.600 --> 01:01:24.980
<i>I need all my strength
to understand it myself.</i>

01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:30.190
<i>This may be my last report
to you, Father.</i>

01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:33.620
<i>Today we hear the guards
are in the mountains looking for us.</i>

01:01:34.620 --> 01:01:37.540
<i>So we have decided
it will be safer to separate.</i>

01:01:37.620 --> 01:01:39.580
They were right.

01:01:39.660 --> 01:01:41.740
If we left, they might still be alive.

01:01:41.870 --> 01:01:43.140
Don't say that. That's not true.

01:01:43.170 --> 01:01:45.380
And we cannot doubt,
that will be our death.

01:01:45.460 --> 01:01:46.730
Are we giving up?
Is that what we are doing?

01:01:46.750 --> 01:01:48.170
- Are we running away?
- No.

01:01:48.250 --> 01:01:49.450
After people have died for us.

01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:51.100
They did not die for us.

01:01:51.170 --> 01:01:53.000
Garupe, they did not die for us.

01:01:54.470 --> 01:01:56.100
I feel like a coward.

01:02:06.770 --> 01:02:08.060
My love goes with you.

01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:09.950
I pray to be as strong as you.

01:02:17.780 --> 01:02:21.820
<i>Father Garupe will make
for Hirado to continue the mission.</i>

01:02:21.910 --> 01:02:22.990
<i>And I will return to Gotō.</i>

01:02:23.750 --> 01:02:25.920
Francisco, stay alive.

01:02:27.590 --> 01:02:28.840
Stay alive.

01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:34.010
<i>Father, I ask forgiveness
for my weakness and my doubt.</i>

01:02:35.510 --> 01:02:37.800
<i>And I ask you to remember
Father Garupe and me</i>

01:02:37.890 --> 01:02:39.890
<i>in your masses and in your prayers.</i>

01:02:42.350 --> 01:02:44.220
<i>Your obedient son.</i>

01:03:02.330 --> 01:03:04.000
<i>I imagine your Son</i>

01:03:05.500 --> 01:03:07.000
<i>nailed to the cross.</i>

01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:11.800
<i>My mouth tastes like vinegar.</i>

01:03:21.640 --> 01:03:23.270
Is that Gotō?

01:03:27.150 --> 01:03:28.610
Is that Gotō?

01:03:35.570 --> 01:03:37.860
<i>Father in heaven, praised be thy name.</i>

01:03:38.700 --> 01:03:41.410
<i>I'm just a foreigner
who brought disaster.</i>

01:03:42.370 --> 01:03:44.380
<i>And that's what they think of me now.</i>

01:04:48.730 --> 01:04:50.900
<i>I dream of our St. Francis.</i>

01:04:53.110 --> 01:04:57.200
<i>What happened to all the glorious
possibility he found here?</i>

01:05:01.490 --> 01:05:03.200
<i>What have I done for Christ?</i>

01:05:04.830 --> 01:05:06.710
<i>What am I doing for Christ?</i>

01:05:08.450 --> 01:05:10.240
<i>What will I do for Christ?</i>

01:05:23.010 --> 01:05:24.510
<i>I feel so tempted.</i>

01:05:24.600 --> 01:05:26.770
<i>I feel so tempted to despair.</i>

01:05:27.850 --> 01:05:29.230
<i>I'm afraid.</i>

01:05:30.890 --> 01:05:32.930
<i>The weight of your silence is terrible.</i>

01:05:34.650 --> 01:05:36.450
<i>I pray, but I'm lost.</i>

01:05:39.570 --> 01:05:41.870
<i>Or am I just praying to nothing?</i>

01:05:44.370 --> 01:05:45.790
<i>Nothing.</i>

01:05:46.780 --> 01:05:48.820
<i>Because you are not there.</i>

01:06:26.450 --> 01:06:28.370
<i>I pray for your forgiveness.</i>

01:06:47.010 --> 01:06:50.090
<i>If my report now comes
to an abrupt end,</i>

01:06:50.180 --> 01:06:51.930
<i>do not think that we are dead.</i>

01:06:53.430 --> 01:06:55.680
<i>Forif Garupe and I die,</i>

01:06:55.770 --> 01:06:58.100
<i>the Japanese church dies with us.</i>

01:07:11.660 --> 01:07:12.910
Ah!

01:07:22.510 --> 01:07:24.260
I thought I was being followed.

01:07:25.220 --> 01:07:26.810
Are you all right, <i>Padre?</i>

01:07:28.720 --> 01:07:29.770
Sorry.

01:07:42.230 --> 01:07:43.230
<i>Padre?</i>

01:07:48.030 --> 01:07:50.320
Why did you come back here, <i>Padre?</i>

01:07:50.410 --> 01:07:52.160
This place is dangerous.

01:07:53.540 --> 01:07:55.630
We must be careful.

01:07:55.710 --> 01:07:59.050
There is a price
of 300 pieces of silver for you.

01:07:59.130 --> 01:08:00.670
Three hundred.

01:08:01.460 --> 01:08:03.080
Judas got only 30.

01:08:03.800 --> 01:08:07.010
There are Christians near the villages.

01:08:07.090 --> 01:08:08.460
Not far.

01:08:11.930 --> 01:08:14.900
We can hide there.
I will take care of you.

01:08:24.320 --> 01:08:26.370
Take it. Please.

01:08:29.320 --> 01:08:31.150
You must be so hungry.

01:08:50.680 --> 01:08:52.980
Mokichi and my family stayed strong.

01:08:54.220 --> 01:08:55.510
I am so weak.

01:08:56.640 --> 01:08:57.640
Are you?

01:08:58.230 --> 01:09:00.150
You can certainly look after yourself.

01:09:00.230 --> 01:09:01.570
Not to be selfish.

01:09:03.190 --> 01:09:04.320
I am like you.

01:09:05.690 --> 01:09:07.310
I have nowhere else to go.

01:09:09.650 --> 01:09:11.940
Where is the place for a weak man

01:09:14.330 --> 01:09:15.960
in a world like this?

01:09:26.130 --> 01:09:28.890
You want to confess
for Mokichi and Ichizo?

01:09:46.360 --> 01:09:48.820
<i>"What you will do, do quickly."</i>

01:09:49.780 --> 01:09:52.700
<i>Your Son's words to Judas
at the Last Supper.</i>

01:09:54.780 --> 01:09:56.400
<i>Was he angry when he said them?</i>

01:09:58.240 --> 01:09:59.820
<i>Or did they come from love?</i>

01:10:01.210 --> 01:10:02.840
Are you all right, <i>Padre?</i>

01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:04.960
- You seem so tired.
- I'm all right.

01:10:06.040 --> 01:10:08.330
The fish you gave me was so salty.

01:10:08.880 --> 01:10:10.550
I thirst.

01:10:11.260 --> 01:10:12.930
- What?
- I thirst.

01:10:15.260 --> 01:10:17.420
- Our Lord said that.
- Yes.

01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:20.560
- I get some water.
- Ah.

01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:21.640
Kichi...

01:10:22.980 --> 01:10:24.980
- I get water.
- Kichijiro!

01:10:28.230 --> 01:10:29.520
Kichijiro.

01:10:40.830 --> 01:10:43.040
Oh. Sorry, I dropped the water, <i>Padre.</i>

01:10:43.750 --> 01:10:45.050
I thought something was wrong.

01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:47.580
But, never mind.

01:10:47.750 --> 01:10:49.620
There is a stream just nearby.

01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:51.960
You can drink as much as you like.

01:10:55.930 --> 01:10:56.930
Here.

01:12:28.140 --> 01:12:30.390
<i>Padre,</i> forgive me.

01:12:34.440 --> 01:12:35.770
<i>Padre?</i>

01:12:43.200 --> 01:12:45.410
I pray for God's forgiveness.

01:12:47.410 --> 01:12:50.660
Will he forgive? Even me?

01:13:33.630 --> 01:13:35.170
Blessed be God.

01:13:37.920 --> 01:13:39.590
What is... What is your name?

01:13:40.050 --> 01:13:41.720
- Monica.
- Ah.

01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:43.960
Like the mother of Augustine.

01:13:44.300 --> 01:13:46.010
My baptismal name.

01:13:46.100 --> 01:13:47.810
This man is Juan.

01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:52.850
He wanted his name
to be like our priest Juan,

01:13:52.940 --> 01:13:55.240
who died at Unzen.

01:13:57.270 --> 01:13:59.560
There will be many more joining him.

01:14:01.240 --> 01:14:02.790
You understand.

01:14:07.410 --> 01:14:10.960
Why are you...
Why are you looking at me like that?

01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:14.510
Why are you so calm?

01:14:15.790 --> 01:14:18.580
We are all about to die!

01:14:19.510 --> 01:14:20.840
Like that!

01:14:30.970 --> 01:14:32.180
I'm sorry.

01:14:33.940 --> 01:14:36.490
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Thank you for the food.

01:14:40.230 --> 01:14:41.690
<i>Padre...</i>

01:14:41.780 --> 01:14:43.660
Our father,

01:14:43.740 --> 01:14:46.500
<i>Padre</i> Juan said if we die,

01:14:46.570 --> 01:14:48.900
we will go to <i>paraíso.</i>

01:14:48.990 --> 01:14:49.990
Paradise.

01:14:50.700 --> 01:14:52.280
Yes, that's right.

01:14:52.370 --> 01:14:54.080
Isn't it good to die?

01:14:54.160 --> 01:14:56.830
<i>Paraíso</i> is so much better than here.

01:14:56.920 --> 01:14:58.340
No one hungry.

01:14:58.630 --> 01:15:01.800
Never sick. No taxes. No hard work.

01:15:03.260 --> 01:15:04.930
Yes. Of course.

01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:09.010
<i>Padre</i> Juan was right.

01:15:09.100 --> 01:15:13.520
There is no hard work in <i>paraíso.</i>

01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:16.390
There is no work at all.

01:15:16.480 --> 01:15:18.900
There is no taxes.

01:15:20.190 --> 01:15:22.020
There is no suffering.

01:15:22.400 --> 01:15:25.270
We all will be united with God.

01:15:25.360 --> 01:15:27.820
There will be no pain.

01:17:01.540 --> 01:17:03.080
No, not you.

01:17:03.170 --> 01:17:04.630
You stay.

01:17:18.230 --> 01:17:21.190
You understood
what I was saying to them?

01:17:21.940 --> 01:17:24.440
Your Japanese is good enough?

01:17:26.400 --> 01:17:28.650
- I saw your eyes.
- Oh.

01:17:30.030 --> 01:17:32.870
And what did you think you saw there?

01:17:36.700 --> 01:17:37.950
They're fools.

01:17:38.040 --> 01:17:39.880
Those peasants.

01:17:41.540 --> 01:17:45.460
<i>Lord, spare them suffering
and keep them safe in Your hand.</i>

01:17:45.540 --> 01:17:48.790
They can talk among themselves
without end.

01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:51.300
And decide nothing.

01:17:52.260 --> 01:17:54.770
But you understand, don't you?

01:17:57.720 --> 01:17:59.050
Just say what you mean.

01:17:59.930 --> 01:18:03.770
That it all depends on you
whether they are set free,

01:18:04.730 --> 01:18:07.390
if you say just one single word.

01:18:08.070 --> 01:18:09.070
Show them.

01:18:09.400 --> 01:18:11.230
Deny your faith.

01:18:13.660 --> 01:18:15.500
So what if I refuse?

01:18:15.570 --> 01:18:16.780
You kill me?

01:18:17.620 --> 01:18:20.420
The blood of martyrs
is the seed of the church.

01:18:21.250 --> 01:18:25.010
Just like the priests you slaughtered
in Ōmura and Nagasaki.

01:18:25.080 --> 01:18:27.210
We learned from our mistake.

01:18:27.290 --> 01:18:31.920
Killing the priests
and killing the peasants makes it worse.

01:18:33.260 --> 01:18:38.690
If they can die for their God,
they think it only makes them stronger.

01:18:39.930 --> 01:18:43.680
If you feel you must punish someone,
punish me alone.

01:18:48.820 --> 01:18:52.280
You do not speak like a good priest!

01:18:53.110 --> 01:18:57.190
If you were a real man,
a truly good priest,

01:18:57.280 --> 01:19:00.280
you should feel pity for the Christian.

01:19:00.870 --> 01:19:03.790
Isn't that so, <i>Padre,</i> isn't that so?

01:19:13.130 --> 01:19:16.960
The price for your glory
is their suffering.

01:19:41.950 --> 01:19:43.660
<i>Padre,</i>

01:19:44.160 --> 01:19:46.330
praise be to God, our Father.

01:19:47.710 --> 01:19:49.670
Praise be to Him.

01:19:52.670 --> 01:19:56.340
The Portuguese language was a gift
of your Father Cabral.

01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:00.840
I have been asked to interpret
on your behalf.

01:20:03.930 --> 01:20:08.470
There was concern that we might miss
certain subtleties in your testimony

01:20:08.560 --> 01:20:11.350
if you were told to speak
only in Japanese.

01:20:12.190 --> 01:20:13.440
Testimony? Uh...

01:20:13.530 --> 01:20:14.570
We want it to be fair.

01:20:14.730 --> 01:20:16.940
And we do have
a better grasp of your language

01:20:17.030 --> 01:20:18.580
than you do of ours.

01:20:19.530 --> 01:20:23.700
Father Cabral never managed
much more than <i>arigataya.</i>

01:20:24.620 --> 01:20:28.800
All the time he lived here,
he taught, but would not learn.

01:20:28.870 --> 01:20:33.330
He despised our language,
our food, our customs.

01:20:33.420 --> 01:20:35.710
I'm not like him. I'm not like Cabral.

01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:38.260
- Really?
- Yes.

01:20:39.630 --> 01:20:42.340
We have our own religion, <i>Padre.</i>

01:20:42.430 --> 01:20:44.640
Pity you did not know this yet.

01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:47.300
No. No, no.
We just think a different way.

01:20:47.390 --> 01:20:48.560
True.

01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:51.220
You believe our Buddhists are only men.

01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:52.980
Just human beings.

01:20:53.060 --> 01:20:54.730
Even a Buddha dies.

01:20:55.650 --> 01:20:57.230
Like all men.

01:20:57.320 --> 01:20:59.410
- He is not the Creator.
- You are ignorant.

01:21:01.070 --> 01:21:05.410
<i>Padre,</i> only a Christian would see
Buddhists simply as men.

01:21:05.910 --> 01:21:09.370
Our Buddha is a being
which men can become.

01:21:09.460 --> 01:21:13.840
Something greater than himself
if he can overcome all his illusions.

01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:18.390
But you cling to your illusions
and call them faith.

01:21:18.470 --> 01:21:19.680
No, you don't understand.

01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:21.680
If any man follows
God's commandments,

01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:23.760
then he can live a peaceful
and joyous life.

01:21:23.850 --> 01:21:25.270
I do. I do understand.

01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:29.190
<i>Padre,</i> it is perfectly simple.

01:21:32.020 --> 01:21:34.100
Have you heard that word?

01:21:37.320 --> 01:21:41.200
It means fall down, surrender,

01:21:41.280 --> 01:21:43.040
give up the faith.

01:21:43.110 --> 01:21:45.280
Apostatize, as you say.

01:21:45.870 --> 01:21:46.870
Do it.

01:21:47.330 --> 01:21:51.880
If you don't apostatize,
the prisoners will be hung over the pit.

01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:57.010
Until you do, their lives bleeding away
drop by drop.

01:21:57.130 --> 01:22:00.550
Some last for days, some do not.

01:22:00.630 --> 01:22:02.590
They die.

01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:06.140
They tortured
Fathers Porro and Cassola over the pit.

01:22:06.220 --> 01:22:08.050
Have you heard of them?

01:22:08.140 --> 01:22:10.400
There was one called Pedro, too.

01:22:10.480 --> 01:22:11.650
And Ferreira of course.

01:22:12.390 --> 01:22:13.520
Ferreira?

01:22:13.730 --> 01:22:15.320
Did you know him?

01:22:17.980 --> 01:22:19.650
I have... I have heard of him.

01:22:19.730 --> 01:22:23.070
No doubt. He's well-known
all over Japan now.

01:22:23.150 --> 01:22:26.820
The priest with the Japanese name
and the Japanese wife.

01:22:29.660 --> 01:22:31.660
- I don't believe you.
- You can ask anyone.

01:22:32.710 --> 01:22:35.920
People in Nagasaki
point him out and marvel.

01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:41.420
He's held in great esteem now,

01:22:41.510 --> 01:22:44.850
which, I believe, is why
he came here in the first place.

01:23:08.120 --> 01:23:10.710
<i>I thought that martyrdom
would be my salvation.</i>

01:23:11.290 --> 01:23:14.750
<i>Please, please, God,
do not let it be my shame.</i>

01:23:18.960 --> 01:23:21.040
<i>The Lord is my refuge,
and my deliverer.</i>

01:23:21.130 --> 01:23:23.640
<i>My God is my helper,
and in Him will I put my trust.</i>

01:23:23.720 --> 01:23:26.810
<i>Of the Blood, all price exceeding,
shed by our immortal King,</i>

01:23:26.890 --> 01:23:29.390
<i>destined for the world's redemption.</i>

01:23:41.230 --> 01:23:43.400
Why are you following me?

01:23:46.740 --> 01:23:48.500
Stop following me!

01:24:20.360 --> 01:24:23.490
<i>Thank you, Lord,
for the gentle days here.</i>

01:24:25.820 --> 01:24:28.540
Jesus taught me to love everyone.

01:24:28.610 --> 01:24:33.110
But I cannot feel love to those
who torture our friends to death.

01:24:34.040 --> 01:24:36.460
I am angry. I cannot love them.

01:24:36.540 --> 01:24:40.550
<i>Even the guards
have been touched by your hand, Lord.</i>

01:24:40.630 --> 01:24:42.260
I feel guilty.

01:24:42.340 --> 01:24:44.720
<i>I wonder
if this unbroken peace...</i>

01:24:44.800 --> 01:24:46.890
From Him comes my salvation.

01:24:46.970 --> 01:24:49.970
<i>...is proof that my death is not far away.</i>

01:24:50.050 --> 01:24:51.880
I shall never be shaken.

01:24:51.970 --> 01:24:53.550
I shall never be shaken.

01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:55.310
I shall never be shaken.

01:24:55.390 --> 01:25:00.180
<i>I see the life of your son so clearly,
almost like my own.</i>

01:25:01.400 --> 01:25:05.360
<i>And his face, it takes all fear from me.</i>

01:25:06.480 --> 01:25:09.400
<i>It is the face I remember
from childhood.</i>

01:25:10.660 --> 01:25:12.120
<i>Speaking to me.</i>

01:25:12.660 --> 01:25:14.370
<i>I'm sure of it.</i>

01:25:15.330 --> 01:25:17.710
<i>Promising "I will not abandon you."</i>

01:25:19.330 --> 01:25:21.410
<i>"I will not abandon you."</i>

01:25:22.420 --> 01:25:24.260
<i>"I will not abandon you."</i>

01:25:26.500 --> 01:25:29.340
Put them on.

01:25:29.420 --> 01:25:33.340
You should be honored.
It's what our priests wear.

01:25:53.530 --> 01:25:57.860
Father Rodrigues from Portugal, yes?

01:25:58.410 --> 01:26:01.530
I am sorry, <i>Padre,</i> for my speaking.

01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:04.460
My language is not so good.

01:26:04.540 --> 01:26:08.040
But his Lordship,
the Governor of Chikugo,

01:26:08.130 --> 01:26:11.720
is anxious about your comfort.

01:26:13.550 --> 01:26:14.800
Comfort?

01:26:15.890 --> 01:26:17.640
Perhaps discomfort.

01:26:17.720 --> 01:26:19.970
Discomfort. Yes.

01:26:20.390 --> 01:26:24.810
About why you are here,
and if you are not at ease,

01:26:24.900 --> 01:26:26.400
please say so.

01:26:30.780 --> 01:26:32.740
Your trip was long.

01:26:32.820 --> 01:26:34.690
There were many dangers.

01:26:35.240 --> 01:26:38.570
The power of your determination
touches us greatly.

01:26:41.080 --> 01:26:43.340
We know
you have also suffered greatly.

01:26:43.670 --> 01:26:46.260
We do not wish to add to your suffering.

01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:51.220
And the thought that
we might do so is painful for us, too.

01:26:53.300 --> 01:26:54.720
Thank you.

01:26:55.050 --> 01:26:56.170
<i>Padre.</i>

01:26:57.640 --> 01:26:59.480
The doctrine you bring with you

01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:02.480
may be true in Spain and Portugal,

01:27:02.560 --> 01:27:04.570
but we have studied it carefully.

01:27:04.640 --> 01:27:06.680
Thought about it over much time.

01:27:09.860 --> 01:27:14.370
And find it is of no use
and of no value in Japan.

01:27:19.030 --> 01:27:21.780
We have concluded that it is a danger.

01:27:28.630 --> 01:27:30.970
But we believe
we have brought you the truth.

01:27:33.130 --> 01:27:35.420
The truth is universal.

01:27:35.510 --> 01:27:37.810
It's common to all countries at all times.

01:27:37.890 --> 01:27:40.020
That's why we call it the truth.

01:27:42.770 --> 01:27:47.030
If a doctrine weren't as true
here in Japan as it is in Portugal,

01:27:47.100 --> 01:27:49.980
then we couldn't call it the truth.

01:27:57.320 --> 01:28:00.320
I see you do not
work with your hands, Father.

01:28:02.410 --> 01:28:06.330
But everyone knows a tree
which flourishes in one kind of earth

01:28:06.410 --> 01:28:09.080
may decay and die in another.

01:28:12.210 --> 01:28:14.920
It is the same
with the tree of Christianity.

01:28:15.010 --> 01:28:17.180
The leaves decay here.

01:28:18.090 --> 01:28:20.470
The buds die.

01:28:20.550 --> 01:28:22.430
It is not the soil that
has killed the buds.

01:28:22.510 --> 01:28:27.180
There were 300,000 Christians
here in Japan before the soil was...

01:28:32.400 --> 01:28:33.860
Yes?

01:28:35.360 --> 01:28:37.190
Was poisoned.

01:28:46.910 --> 01:28:48.700
You have no reply?

01:28:50.630 --> 01:28:52.630
And why should you? You're...

01:28:52.710 --> 01:28:55.120
You're never going to change my heart.

01:28:56.710 --> 01:28:59.710
And it seems like
I'm not going to change yours.

01:29:00.220 --> 01:29:03.520
You want to test my faith?
Give me a real challenge.

01:29:04.390 --> 01:29:06.400
Bring me to the Inquisitor.

01:29:06.470 --> 01:29:09.220
Bring me to Inoue-<i>sama.</i>

01:29:19.900 --> 01:29:21.610
Why are they laughing?

01:29:22.240 --> 01:29:24.240
I didn't say anything funny.
Why are they laughing?

01:29:24.580 --> 01:29:26.580
Because, <i>Padre...</i>

01:29:28.910 --> 01:29:30.240
Because...

01:29:32.420 --> 01:29:35.430
I am the Governor of Chikugo.

01:29:36.420 --> 01:29:39.420
I am the Inquisitor.

01:29:42.090 --> 01:29:44.010
I am Inoue.

01:30:30.220 --> 01:30:33.770
How long... How long will they
have to work like this in the rain?

01:30:33.850 --> 01:30:35.480
Until finished.

01:30:53.290 --> 01:30:57.090
<i>Padre. Padre! Padre!</i>

01:30:57.960 --> 01:30:59.210
Please listen to me.

01:31:01.130 --> 01:31:03.460
Please listen to me!

01:31:03.550 --> 01:31:05.890
I never took their money!

01:31:06.010 --> 01:31:08.590
I did not betray you for money!

01:31:52.970 --> 01:31:54.720
Be careful of him, <i>Padre.</i>

01:31:54.810 --> 01:31:58.690
Maybe Inoue-<i>sama</i> pays him
to make us trample.

01:31:58.770 --> 01:32:00.350
No, he did not!

01:32:02.570 --> 01:32:05.620
Please, <i>Padre.</i> Let me confess.

01:32:06.530 --> 01:32:08.040
<i>Padre...</i>

01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:25.800
I know I smell.

01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:27.340
I smell of sin.

01:32:28.550 --> 01:32:32.720
I want to confess again
so the Lord can wash me clean.

01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:40.560
Why did you come here?

01:32:44.070 --> 01:32:45.950
Is it for absolution?

01:32:48.530 --> 01:32:51.120
Do you have any understanding
what absolution is?

01:32:51.200 --> 01:32:53.750
Do you understand
what I've been saying?

01:32:54.870 --> 01:32:56.500
Years ago,

01:32:57.160 --> 01:32:59.660
I could have died a good Christian.

01:33:00.210 --> 01:33:02.630
There was no persecution!

01:33:03.630 --> 01:33:05.640
Why was I born now?

01:33:06.460 --> 01:33:08.340
This is so unfair!

01:33:10.130 --> 01:33:11.510
I am sorry.

01:33:16.810 --> 01:33:18.810
But do you still believe?

01:33:42.210 --> 01:33:46.010
Bless me, <i>Padre,</i>
for I have sinned.

01:33:47.340 --> 01:33:51.560
I am sorry for being so weak.

01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:57.440
I am sorry this has happened.

01:34:00.060 --> 01:34:04.280
I am sorry for what I did to you.

01:34:06.570 --> 01:34:10.370
Help me, <i>Padre.</i> Take away the sin.

01:34:13.200 --> 01:34:15.710
I will try again to be strong!

01:34:20.200 --> 01:34:23.870
<i>Father, how could
Jesus love a wretch like this?</i>

01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:27.720
<i>There is evil all around in this place.</i>

01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:30.430
<i>I sense its strength, even its beauty.</i>

01:34:31.880 --> 01:34:34.550
<i>But there is none of that in this man.</i>

01:34:35.590 --> 01:34:38.220
<i>He is not worthy to be called evil.</i>

01:34:47.230 --> 01:34:48.480
Go in peace.

01:34:52.570 --> 01:34:54.070
<i>I feel...</i>

01:34:54.570 --> 01:34:57.820
<i>I... I fear. Jesus, forgive me.</i>

01:34:57.910 --> 01:35:00.540
<i>I may not be worthy of you.</i>

01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:03.270
<i>Ikitsuki-jima, Kuboura, Chokichi.</i>

01:36:32.210 --> 01:36:33.540
<i>Onajiku, Haru.</i>

01:36:54.900 --> 01:36:56.520
<i>Onajiku, Tobe.</i>

01:37:25.060 --> 01:37:26.310
<i>Onajiku, Wataichi.</i>

01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:54.280
<i>Thank you, Lord,
for hearing my prayer.</i>

01:42:26.060 --> 01:42:31.610
Ah. I'm sorry I've neglected you
for some days now, <i>Padre.</i>

01:42:32.200 --> 01:42:35.410
But I had business in Hirado.

01:42:36.030 --> 01:42:39.870
I hope you get to go there
yourself sometime.

01:42:41.250 --> 01:42:42.880
I'm sure it's very beautiful.

01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:48.380
There is an interesting story
about the <i>daimyo</i> who ruled there.

01:42:48.460 --> 01:42:52.340
He had four concubines. Four!

01:42:53.470 --> 01:42:57.480
They were all beautiful, but they...

01:42:59.100 --> 01:43:01.730
I'm sorry.

01:43:01.810 --> 01:43:05.650
Maybe this is not a story
for a celibate priest.

01:43:06.150 --> 01:43:08.700
It's all right. Please go on.

01:43:08.770 --> 01:43:13.020
In that case, the <i>daimyo's</i>
concubines were all jealous

01:43:13.110 --> 01:43:15.980
and they fought and fought without end.

01:43:16.070 --> 01:43:21.110
So the <i>daimyo</i> of Hirado
drove them away from his castle,

01:43:21.200 --> 01:43:24.620
and peace came into his life again.

01:43:25.750 --> 01:43:28.550
Do you think this story has a lesson?

01:43:31.210 --> 01:43:32.210
Yes.

01:43:34.010 --> 01:43:36.600
That this was a very wise man.

01:43:36.970 --> 01:43:38.270
I'm glad.

01:43:38.350 --> 01:43:42.310
That means you understand
the <i>daimyo</i> is like Japan,

01:43:42.680 --> 01:43:46.520
and these concubines are Spain,

01:43:47.190 --> 01:43:51.280
Portugal, Holland, England.

01:43:51.480 --> 01:43:55.190
Each trying to gain the advantage
against the other

01:43:55.280 --> 01:43:57.870
and destroy the house in the process!

01:43:59.530 --> 01:44:02.280
Since you say this man is wise,

01:44:02.370 --> 01:44:06.710
you will understand why
we must outlaw the Christian.

01:44:08.630 --> 01:44:09.920
Well,

01:44:10.460 --> 01:44:13.380
our church teaches monogamy.

01:44:15.630 --> 01:44:16.630
Oh.

01:44:20.050 --> 01:44:22.050
- One wife.
- Uh-huh.

01:44:22.140 --> 01:44:26.610
What if Japan were to choose
one lawful wife from the four?

01:44:28.980 --> 01:44:31.070
You mean Portugal.

01:44:31.150 --> 01:44:32.240
No.

01:44:33.650 --> 01:44:35.610
I mean, the Holy Church.

01:44:41.280 --> 01:44:44.950
Don't you think
it would be better for the man

01:44:45.040 --> 01:44:49.300
to forget about foreign women
and choose one of his own?

01:44:49.370 --> 01:44:53.000
Nationality is not so important
when it comes to a marriage.

01:44:53.090 --> 01:44:55.140
What matters is love.

01:44:55.670 --> 01:44:58.710
Love and fidelity.

01:44:59.510 --> 01:45:00.770
Ah, love.

01:45:02.220 --> 01:45:03.880
<i>Padre,</i>

01:45:03.970 --> 01:45:09.510
there are men who are plagued
by the persistent love of an ugly woman.

01:45:11.860 --> 01:45:14.700
Is that what missionary work is to you?

01:45:15.610 --> 01:45:17.160
An ugly woman?

01:45:17.240 --> 01:45:18.620
Well...

01:45:20.490 --> 01:45:22.040
Yes.

01:45:28.790 --> 01:45:30.630
- Barren.
- A barren woman

01:45:30.710 --> 01:45:32.710
cannot be a true wife.

01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:38.800
If the gospel has lost its way here,
it's not the fault of the church.

01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:41.720
It is the fault of those

01:45:42.180 --> 01:45:44.560
who tear away the faithful
from their faith

01:45:44.640 --> 01:45:46.730
like a husband from a wife.

01:45:49.430 --> 01:45:52.180
You mean me?

01:45:54.230 --> 01:45:55.890
<i>Padre,</i>

01:45:56.860 --> 01:46:00.700
you missionaries
do not seem to know Japan.

01:46:01.110 --> 01:46:03.820
And you, Honorable Inquisitor,

01:46:04.280 --> 01:46:06.820
do not seem to know Christianity.

01:46:20.840 --> 01:46:26.340
There are those who think
of your religion as a curse.

01:46:27.100 --> 01:46:28.650
I do not.

01:46:28.930 --> 01:46:31.890
I see it in another way.

01:46:32.190 --> 01:46:35.280
But still dangerous.

01:46:51.750 --> 01:46:57.510
I'd like you to think about
the persistent love of an ugly woman

01:46:57.590 --> 01:47:01.510
and how a barren woman
should never be a wife.

01:47:11.020 --> 01:47:12.190
Padre!

01:47:12.560 --> 01:47:15.230
<i>Padre!</i> Help me, <i>Padre!</i>

01:47:17.770 --> 01:47:19.440
Help me, please!

01:47:19.860 --> 01:47:21.780
<i>Padre! Padre!</i>

01:47:22.990 --> 01:47:23.990
<i>Padre!</i>

01:47:24.070 --> 01:47:26.360
Where are you taking them?

01:47:27.240 --> 01:47:29.450
Where are you taking them?

01:47:29.990 --> 01:47:32.660
<i>Padre! Padre!</i>

01:47:32.950 --> 01:47:34.990
<i>Padre!</i>

01:47:39.750 --> 01:47:41.370
You are traveling today.

01:48:26.720 --> 01:48:30.270
Sit down. It's better for you, I think.

01:48:31.050 --> 01:48:32.300
Please.

01:48:45.740 --> 01:48:46.830
<i>Padre.</i>

01:48:47.900 --> 01:48:49.730
How are you feeling today, eh?

01:48:51.740 --> 01:48:54.070
I'm sure the air must feel good

01:48:54.950 --> 01:48:57.490
even though you were
in our newest prison.

01:48:57.580 --> 01:49:00.500
The old prison was very tough
on the <i>padres.</i>

01:49:00.580 --> 01:49:03.620
- Rain, wind...
- Sorry. Excuse me.

01:49:04.710 --> 01:49:06.920
When will Inoue-<i>sama</i> be here?

01:49:07.590 --> 01:49:10.420
Oh. He's not coming today.

01:49:11.430 --> 01:49:12.930
Do you miss him?

01:49:13.810 --> 01:49:15.440
He treats me kindly.

01:49:15.520 --> 01:49:19.110
Three meals a day so that
my body will betray my heart.

01:49:19.810 --> 01:49:21.470
That's your plan, isn't it?

01:49:21.560 --> 01:49:23.020
That's what you're waiting for.

01:49:23.110 --> 01:49:24.570
- Not at all.
- No?

01:49:26.280 --> 01:49:28.950
But we are waiting for someone today.

01:49:29.030 --> 01:49:31.450
Inoue-<i>sama</i> wants you to meet him.

01:49:33.070 --> 01:49:35.110
He will be here any moment.

01:49:35.990 --> 01:49:38.160
He's Portuguese like yourself.

01:49:38.250 --> 01:49:41.170
You should have a lot to talk about, huh?

01:49:42.790 --> 01:49:44.410
Ferreira.

01:49:59.640 --> 01:50:01.470
Is it who you expected?

01:50:05.650 --> 01:50:08.320
Is it who you expected?

01:50:14.490 --> 01:50:17.740
- I want to talk to him.
- There's no hurry.

01:50:18.660 --> 01:50:21.160
It is early. Plenty of time.

01:50:23.580 --> 01:50:26.370
Tell me. Does he know I'm here?

01:50:26.920 --> 01:50:28.290
I cannot tell you.

01:50:28.380 --> 01:50:32.300
I must not speak about the business
of the Inquisitor's office.

01:50:32.680 --> 01:50:34.850
But I can tell you

01:50:35.390 --> 01:50:40.020
he knows you are alive
because we told him you apostatized.

01:50:47.020 --> 01:50:50.230
Now, do you know what
they use those mats for?

01:50:51.360 --> 01:50:52.400
No.

01:50:59.290 --> 01:51:01.040
Look. The guard.

01:51:01.710 --> 01:51:04.800
What could he be saying
to Father Garupe?

01:51:06.420 --> 01:51:07.720
Maybe this.

01:51:07.920 --> 01:51:11.680
If you are truly a Christian,
you will apostatize

01:51:12.300 --> 01:51:14.220
and not let them die.

01:51:27.310 --> 01:51:32.190
You know, the Inquisitor promises
that if Father Garupe apostatizes,

01:51:32.280 --> 01:51:34.240
the four will be free.

01:51:34.400 --> 01:51:36.650
I hope Father Garupe agrees.

01:51:40.160 --> 01:51:43.990
I should tell you,
these Christians already trampled

01:51:44.080 --> 01:51:47.160
and denied their faith
at the Inquisitor's office.

01:51:47.380 --> 01:51:49.550
If they did what you wanted,
then let them go.

01:51:49.630 --> 01:51:52.010
Let them go.
They did what you wanted.

01:51:52.090 --> 01:51:53.600
So let them go. Please.

01:51:53.670 --> 01:51:55.960
Please! Please! Please! Let them go!

01:51:56.050 --> 01:51:57.340
We don't want them.

01:51:57.430 --> 01:51:58.850
Four farmers?

01:51:58.930 --> 01:52:00.940
There are still hundreds
of Christian peasants

01:52:01.010 --> 01:52:02.680
on the islands off the coast.

01:52:02.770 --> 01:52:05.650
- No!
- We want the <i>Padre</i> to deny,

01:52:05.730 --> 01:52:07.780
and be an example to them.

01:52:12.280 --> 01:52:14.740
No, please!

01:52:15.110 --> 01:52:17.780
<i>Oh, apostatize! Apostatize!</i>

01:52:17.860 --> 01:52:21.110
<i>For their sake, Lord,
do not leave this to us!</i>

01:52:21.200 --> 01:52:23.200
Take me instead!

01:52:28.210 --> 01:52:29.630
No!

01:52:30.710 --> 01:52:32.000
No!

01:52:33.550 --> 01:52:36.510
No, no, no! Garupe, no!

01:52:38.970 --> 01:52:41.480
No, no, no! No!

01:52:44.640 --> 01:52:46.260
No!

01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:09.000
No!

01:53:10.170 --> 01:53:11.260
No!

01:53:15.590 --> 01:53:16.680
No!

01:53:19.680 --> 01:53:22.060
Oh, please! Please, please!

01:53:59.590 --> 01:54:02.760
Terrible business! Terrible!

01:54:04.260 --> 01:54:06.970
No matter how many times you see it.

01:54:08.560 --> 01:54:12.440
Think about the suffering
you have inflicted on these people

01:54:12.730 --> 01:54:16.400
just because of your selfish dream
of a Christian Japan.

01:54:16.650 --> 01:54:20.280
Your <i>Deus</i> punishes Japan through you!

01:54:21.740 --> 01:54:24.160
At least Garupe was clean.

01:54:24.660 --> 01:54:27.620
But you, you have no will!

01:54:28.290 --> 01:54:31.670
You do not deserve to be called a priest.

01:55:08.540 --> 01:55:10.580
My God. My God.
Why have you forsaken me?

01:55:10.620 --> 01:55:11.780
Why have you forsaken me?

01:55:14.120 --> 01:55:15.750
I was your son.

01:55:18.800 --> 01:55:21.220
Your son was going to the cross.

01:55:24.720 --> 01:55:26.600
You were silent, even to him.

01:55:27.720 --> 01:55:31.050
<i>Your silent, cold son.</i>

01:55:33.350 --> 01:55:34.720
Oh, no, no.

01:55:37.730 --> 01:55:39.730
<i>Ludicrous. Ludicrous.</i>

01:55:42.030 --> 01:55:43.410
Stupid.

01:55:44.240 --> 01:55:45.580
Stupid.

01:55:50.490 --> 01:55:52.490
He's not going to answer.

01:55:58.000 --> 01:56:00.000
He's not going to answer.

01:56:33.490 --> 01:56:35.030
<i>Padre.</i>

01:56:35.960 --> 01:56:37.300
<i>Padre.</i>

01:57:13.240 --> 01:57:14.950
Come along, <i>Padre.</i>

01:57:26.670 --> 01:57:29.250
Our priests
do not like your priests,

01:57:29.340 --> 01:57:32.300
but you will still find much of value here.

01:57:56.910 --> 01:57:58.620
What is it, <i>Padre?</i>

01:58:01.170 --> 01:58:02.800
The incense?

01:58:04.880 --> 01:58:06.550
The smell of meat?

01:58:09.590 --> 01:58:12.050
Have you had any meat
since you came to Japan?

01:58:12.140 --> 01:58:14.560
I don't much like the smell, myself.

01:58:21.890 --> 01:58:23.220
Have you guessed yet?

01:58:25.150 --> 01:58:27.360
Have you guessed who's coming?

01:58:30.650 --> 01:58:32.860
This is Inoue-<i>sama's</i> command

01:58:33.410 --> 01:58:36.500
and the other's wish.

01:58:41.410 --> 01:58:42.830
The other?

01:58:51.260 --> 01:58:54.020
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,

01:58:54.090 --> 01:58:55.720
thy kingdom come, thy will be done...

01:58:55.800 --> 01:59:00.640
<i>Padre,</i> think of
the souls you can save,

01:59:00.730 --> 01:59:02.320
<i>Padre</i> Ferreira.

02:00:10.500 --> 02:00:11.750
Fa...

02:00:14.590 --> 02:00:16.170
Father...

02:00:23.680 --> 02:00:26.600
Father Ferreira.

02:00:28.690 --> 02:00:30.400
I'd given up.

02:00:34.690 --> 02:00:36.520
So long since we have met.

02:00:40.280 --> 02:00:42.070
Please say something.

02:00:44.450 --> 02:00:45.830
What

02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:50.090
can I say to you on such an occasion?

02:00:54.960 --> 02:00:58.130
If you have any pity for me,
say something.

02:01:08.350 --> 02:01:10.020
Have you... Have you...

02:01:10.100 --> 02:01:12.600
Have you been living here for long?

02:01:14.190 --> 02:01:16.650
About a year, I suppose.

02:01:24.160 --> 02:01:26.030
Why? What is this place?

02:01:26.120 --> 02:01:29.410
A temple where I study.

02:01:33.170 --> 02:01:35.550
I'm in... I'm in a sort of prison

02:01:35.630 --> 02:01:39.800
somewhere in Nagasaki.
I don't know precisely where.

02:01:39.880 --> 02:01:41.300
I know it.

02:01:45.810 --> 02:01:47.190
You were my teacher.

02:01:50.440 --> 02:01:52.490
You were my confessor.

02:01:52.770 --> 02:01:55.350
- My teacher.
- I'm much the same.

02:02:05.740 --> 02:02:08.620
Do a single simple thing.

02:02:08.870 --> 02:02:10.790
Tell me then, <i>Padre.</i>

02:02:11.460 --> 02:02:14.420
Tell me you agree.

02:02:27.310 --> 02:02:28.690
Do I...

02:02:30.430 --> 02:02:33.060
Do I really seem so different?

02:02:38.610 --> 02:02:42.410
The Honorable Sawano
spends his day writing

02:02:42.490 --> 02:02:44.250
about astronomy.

02:02:45.530 --> 02:02:47.490
At Inoue-<i>sama's</i> order.

02:02:47.580 --> 02:02:51.090
There is great knowledge here.

02:02:51.790 --> 02:02:54.960
But in, uh, medicine and astronomy,
much remains to be taught.

02:02:56.000 --> 02:02:57.830
I'm happy to help.

02:02:58.710 --> 02:03:03.920
It is fulfilling to finally
be of use in this country.

02:03:07.810 --> 02:03:09.520
Then you're happy, Father?

02:03:13.940 --> 02:03:15.400
I said so.

02:03:21.740 --> 02:03:23.700
Mention the other book you are writing.

02:03:27.370 --> 02:03:29.330
It is called <i>Kengiroku.</i>

02:03:29.410 --> 02:03:31.740
It shows the errors of Christianity

02:03:32.290 --> 02:03:35.050
and refutes the teachings of <i>Deus.</i>

02:03:35.500 --> 02:03:37.630
Do you understand the title?

02:03:38.750 --> 02:03:40.000
Tell him.

02:03:43.550 --> 02:03:45.890
It means

02:03:46.010 --> 02:03:51.140
deceit disclosed, or unmasked,
if you prefer a more florid reading.

02:03:53.680 --> 02:03:57.730
His Lordship, the Inquisitor,
he praises it.

02:03:57.810 --> 02:04:00.020
He says it is well done.

02:04:02.860 --> 02:04:03.860
It's the truth.

02:04:03.940 --> 02:04:06.280
You use the truth like poison!

02:04:06.360 --> 02:04:08.190
What a funny thing for a priest to say.

02:04:08.280 --> 02:04:10.950
This is cruel. Cruel.

02:04:11.830 --> 02:04:15.670
Worse than any torture
to twist a man's soul in this way.

02:04:16.330 --> 02:04:18.700
I think you must be speaking of yourself.

02:04:18.790 --> 02:04:20.540
Not of Sawano Chūan.

02:04:20.630 --> 02:04:22.300
- Who?
- Him!

02:04:23.010 --> 02:04:25.640
He is Ferreira only to you.

02:04:26.130 --> 02:04:28.760
He is Sawano Chūan now.

02:04:29.510 --> 02:04:31.760
A man who has found peace.

02:04:32.060 --> 02:04:34.440
Let him guide you along his path.

02:04:34.520 --> 02:04:36.270
The path of mercy.

02:04:36.350 --> 02:04:38.680
That means only that you abandon self.

02:04:38.770 --> 02:04:42.020
No one should interfere
with another man's spirit.

02:04:42.110 --> 02:04:46.870
To help others is the way of the Buddha
and your way, too.

02:04:46.950 --> 02:04:49.540
The two religions are the same in this.

02:04:49.620 --> 02:04:51.870
It is not necessary to win anyone over

02:04:51.950 --> 02:04:55.450
to one side or another
when there is so much to share.

02:04:56.500 --> 02:04:57.880
Go on.

02:05:01.380 --> 02:05:05.010
I've been told to get you
to abandon the faith.

02:05:08.220 --> 02:05:09.520
This...

02:05:11.970 --> 02:05:13.680
This is from the pit.

02:05:16.730 --> 02:05:21.740
You're tied so you can't move
and hung upside down.

02:05:24.530 --> 02:05:26.320
<i>An incision is made.</i>

02:05:31.280 --> 02:05:35.320
<i>You feel the blood
dripping down, drop by drop,</i>

02:05:36.580 --> 02:05:40.550
so it doesn't run to your head
and you won't die too soon.

02:05:53.220 --> 02:05:55.260
Step on your Jesus.

02:06:40.350 --> 02:06:43.220
You are the last priest
left here now, <i>Padre.</i>

02:06:43.310 --> 02:06:47.690
I'm sure Inoue-<i>sama</i> will be pleased
to put an end to the pain.

02:06:48.320 --> 02:06:50.320
He's a practical man, <i>Padre.</i>

02:06:50.650 --> 02:06:52.320
Not a cruel one.

02:06:53.030 --> 02:06:56.240
I have labored in this country
for 15 years.

02:06:56.330 --> 02:06:58.370
I know it better than you.

02:06:58.990 --> 02:07:02.660
Our religion does not
take root in this country.

02:07:03.000 --> 02:07:05.710
Because the roots have been torn up.

02:07:05.790 --> 02:07:08.670
No! Because this country is a swamp.

02:07:08.750 --> 02:07:10.250
Nothing grows here.

02:07:10.340 --> 02:07:12.430
Plant a sapling here and the roots rot.

02:07:12.510 --> 02:07:15.430
There was a time when Christianity
grew and flourished here.

02:07:15.510 --> 02:07:16.510
- When?
- When?

02:07:16.970 --> 02:07:19.680
In your time, Father.

02:07:21.140 --> 02:07:23.810
In your time, before you became like...

02:07:23.890 --> 02:07:25.720
Like who? Like them?

02:07:25.810 --> 02:07:27.230
Rodrigues, please listen.

02:07:27.690 --> 02:07:31.400
The Japanese only believe
in their distortion of our gospel.

02:07:31.490 --> 02:07:33.080
So they did not believe at all.

02:07:33.150 --> 02:07:34.650
They never believed.

02:07:34.740 --> 02:07:35.830
How can you say that?

02:07:35.910 --> 02:07:38.620
From the time of St. Francis Xavier
through your own time.

02:07:38.700 --> 02:07:40.780
There were hundreds
of thousands of converts here.

02:07:40.870 --> 02:07:42.880
- Converts?
- Converts, yes!

02:07:43.580 --> 02:07:44.950
Francis Xavier came here

02:07:45.040 --> 02:07:46.910
to teach the Japanese
about the Son of God.

02:07:47.000 --> 02:07:50.670
But first he had to ask
how to refer to God.

02:07:50.750 --> 02:07:53.290
<i>"Dainichi,"</i> he was told.

02:07:53.920 --> 02:07:56.590
And shall I show you their <i>Dainichi?</i>

02:07:57.090 --> 02:08:01.890
Behold. There is the Son of God.

02:08:02.390 --> 02:08:04.680
God's only begotten Son.

02:08:06.100 --> 02:08:08.890
In the scriptures,
Jesus rose on the third day.

02:08:08.980 --> 02:08:10.230
In Japan,

02:08:10.980 --> 02:08:13.810
...the Son of God rises daily.

02:08:14.320 --> 02:08:16.610
The Japanese cannot think
of an existence

02:08:16.700 --> 02:08:18.160
beyond the realm of nature.

02:08:18.240 --> 02:08:20.820
For them, nothing transcends a human.

02:08:20.910 --> 02:08:22.880
- No.
- They can't conceive

02:08:22.950 --> 02:08:24.580
of our idea of the Christian God.

02:08:24.660 --> 02:08:26.490
No, you're wrong. You're wrong.

02:08:26.580 --> 02:08:29.710
They worship God. God! Our Lord.

02:08:30.380 --> 02:08:32.300
They praise the name of <i>Deus.</i>

02:08:32.380 --> 02:08:35.510
That's just another word
for a god they never knew.

02:08:36.130 --> 02:08:37.630
I saw men die!

02:08:37.720 --> 02:08:39.020
I did, too.

02:08:39.090 --> 02:08:42.300
For <i>Deus!</i> On fire with their faith!

02:08:42.640 --> 02:08:44.810
Your martyrs may have been
on fire, Father,

02:08:44.890 --> 02:08:46.890
but it was not for the Christian faith.

02:08:48.650 --> 02:08:50.280
I saw them die. I saw them die.

02:08:50.360 --> 02:08:52.320
They did not die for nothing.

02:08:52.820 --> 02:08:54.030
They did not.

02:08:55.740 --> 02:08:58.290
They're dying for you, Rodrigues.

02:09:02.870 --> 02:09:04.630
How many did you save

02:09:04.700 --> 02:09:07.160
when you trampled
on the face of our Lord?

02:09:07.250 --> 02:09:08.710
How many beside yourself?

02:09:08.790 --> 02:09:10.250
I don't know.

02:09:11.130 --> 02:09:14.050
Certainly not as many as you may help.

02:09:14.130 --> 02:09:16.970
You're trying to justify
your own weakness.

02:09:18.050 --> 02:09:19.880
God have mercy on you.

02:09:19.970 --> 02:09:22.140
Which god? Which one?

02:09:22.220 --> 02:09:24.390
We say...

02:09:26.310 --> 02:09:27.400
I'm sorry.

02:09:27.480 --> 02:09:29.780
You haven't learned
the language thoroughly, have you?

02:09:29.850 --> 02:09:31.730
There's a saying here.

02:09:32.110 --> 02:09:36.780
Mountains and rivers can be moved,
but man's nature cannot be moved.

02:09:37.570 --> 02:09:40.290
It's very wise, like so much here.

02:09:41.370 --> 02:09:46.170
We find our original nature
in Japan, Rodrigues.

02:09:47.120 --> 02:09:50.080
Perhaps it's what's meant
by finding God.

02:09:52.130 --> 02:09:53.800
You're a disgrace.

02:09:58.800 --> 02:10:00.850
You're a disgrace, Father.

02:10:01.430 --> 02:10:03.980
I can't...

02:10:04.050 --> 02:10:06.840
I can't even call you that anymore.

02:10:09.100 --> 02:10:12.600
Good. I have a Japanese name now,

02:10:13.270 --> 02:10:16.020
and a wife, and children.

02:10:19.190 --> 02:10:21.940
I inherited them all
from an executed man.

02:10:37.840 --> 02:10:39.470
How do you feel?

02:10:39.550 --> 02:10:42.220
He has shown you the path of mercy.

02:10:42.300 --> 02:10:44.050
I hope you take it.

02:10:46.260 --> 02:10:49.020
Why don't you just hang me in the pit?

02:11:21.220 --> 02:11:25.310
<i>Padre,</i> you came here
for them and they all hate you.

02:11:25.890 --> 02:11:29.020
Insult me all you like.
You just give me more courage.

02:11:29.640 --> 02:11:31.920
You will need it tonight.

02:11:32.640 --> 02:11:34.600
You are a good man, <i>Padre.</i>

02:11:34.690 --> 02:11:36.320
You cannot stand suffering.

02:11:36.400 --> 02:11:38.400
Your own or others'.

02:11:42.950 --> 02:11:46.120
Inoue-<i>sama</i> says
you will apostatize tonight.

02:11:47.780 --> 02:11:49.910
He was right about Ferreira.

02:11:51.080 --> 02:11:52.960
And he's right about you.

02:11:57.290 --> 02:12:00.250
God help me. Jesus help me.

02:12:07.260 --> 02:12:09.220
In the garden, You said,

02:12:09.300 --> 02:12:13.510
"Thy soul is sorrowful even unto death."

02:12:14.060 --> 02:12:16.110
I would bleed for you.

02:12:16.190 --> 02:12:17.570
I would.

02:12:18.440 --> 02:12:21.200
I would die for you if I knew you...

02:12:23.280 --> 02:12:25.080
Are you here with me?

02:12:42.880 --> 02:12:45.760
<i>Padre.</i> Forgive me.

02:12:47.930 --> 02:12:51.390
<i>Padre!</i> I came here to make confession.

02:12:52.510 --> 02:12:54.070
<i>Padre!</i>

02:12:55.350 --> 02:12:57.060
Forgive me, <i>Padre!</i>

02:12:57.640 --> 02:12:59.140
Forgive me!

02:13:07.820 --> 02:13:11.320
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop the noise!

02:13:11.910 --> 02:13:13.960
Stop it! Someone help him!

02:13:15.450 --> 02:13:18.240
- What do you need?
- Not me. Down there.

02:13:18.540 --> 02:13:20.290
There is a man in agony

02:13:20.380 --> 02:13:23.630
and the guard is sound asleep
and snoring like a wild dog!

02:13:24.880 --> 02:13:27.290
You think that noise is the guard?

02:13:27.970 --> 02:13:29.100
Incredible.

02:13:29.180 --> 02:13:31.730
Sawano, tell him. Say what it is.

02:13:32.720 --> 02:13:35.970
It is not the guard and it's not snoring.

02:13:38.140 --> 02:13:40.680
It's Christians. Five of them, in fact.

02:13:40.900 --> 02:13:42.820
All hanging in the pit.

02:13:48.360 --> 02:13:50.940
Have you found the words on the wall?

02:13:51.740 --> 02:13:53.490
<i>"Laudate eum."</i>

02:13:54.700 --> 02:13:56.740
"Praise Him."

02:13:58.120 --> 02:14:01.240
I cut them there with a stone
when I was in this cell.

02:14:01.330 --> 02:14:02.750
Like you.

02:14:07.210 --> 02:14:08.340
Be quiet.

02:14:08.420 --> 02:14:10.170
Don't... Don't speak to me.

02:14:10.260 --> 02:14:11.640
You have no right to speak to me.

02:14:11.720 --> 02:14:14.480
Oh, I do. Because you are just like me.

02:14:14.890 --> 02:14:16.480
You see Jesus in Gethsemane

02:14:16.560 --> 02:14:19.270
and believe your trial
is the same as His.

02:14:19.350 --> 02:14:22.020
Those five in the pit are suffering, too,
just like Jesus,

02:14:22.100 --> 02:14:23.520
but they don't have your pride.

02:14:23.610 --> 02:14:26.450
They would never
compare themselves to Jesus.

02:14:26.690 --> 02:14:29.650
Do you have the right
to make them suffer?

02:14:30.860 --> 02:14:33.530
I heard the cries of suffering
in this same cell.

02:14:33.620 --> 02:14:34.830
And I acted.

02:14:34.910 --> 02:14:36.390
You excuse yourself!
You excuse yourself!

02:14:36.410 --> 02:14:38.870
That is the spirit of darkness.

02:14:39.290 --> 02:14:42.210
And what would you do for them? Pray?

02:14:43.130 --> 02:14:46.340
And get what in return?
Only more suffering.

02:14:47.300 --> 02:14:49.890
A suffering only you can end. Not God!

02:14:49.970 --> 02:14:52.350
Go away from me.

02:14:53.050 --> 02:14:55.130
I prayed, too, Rodrigues.

02:14:56.470 --> 02:14:58.140
It doesn't help.

02:14:59.430 --> 02:15:01.810
Go on. Pray.

02:15:08.440 --> 02:15:10.400
But pray with your eyes open.

02:15:12.150 --> 02:15:13.780
No!

02:15:28.300 --> 02:15:30.090
You can spare them.

02:15:31.050 --> 02:15:33.760
They call out for help
just as you call to God.

02:15:33.840 --> 02:15:36.130
He is silent, but you do not have to be.

02:15:36.220 --> 02:15:38.980
They should apostatize. Apostatize!

02:15:39.430 --> 02:15:42.260
God help me. Apostatize!
Korobu! Korobu!

02:15:43.190 --> 02:15:45.280
But they have apostatized.

02:15:45.350 --> 02:15:46.520
Many times over.

02:15:47.400 --> 02:15:49.450
They're here for you, Rodrigues.

02:15:49.520 --> 02:15:52.270
As long as you don't apostatize,
they cannot be saved.

02:15:52.740 --> 02:15:55.370
A priest should act in imitation of Christ.

02:15:56.030 --> 02:15:57.900
If Christ were here...

02:15:59.790 --> 02:16:02.290
If Christ were here, He would've acted.

02:16:02.370 --> 02:16:04.580
Apostatized for their sake.

02:16:05.080 --> 02:16:07.370
No. No, He's here.

02:16:07.460 --> 02:16:09.800
Christ is here. I just can't hear Him.

02:16:10.130 --> 02:16:11.640
Show God you love Him!

02:16:11.710 --> 02:16:13.670
Save the lives of the people He loves.

02:16:16.380 --> 02:16:19.130
There is something more important

02:16:19.220 --> 02:16:21.260
than the judgment of the Church.

02:16:23.930 --> 02:16:27.140
You are now going to fulfill
the most painful act of love

02:16:27.230 --> 02:16:29.400
that has ever been performed.

02:16:49.130 --> 02:16:51.010
It's only a formality.

02:16:52.170 --> 02:16:54.080
Just a formality.

02:17:26.790 --> 02:17:28.550
<i>Come ahead, now.</i>

02:17:30.210 --> 02:17:31.880
<i>It's all right.</i>

02:17:33.460 --> 02:17:34.880
<i>Step on Me.</i>

02:17:39.010 --> 02:17:41.140
<i>I understand your pain.</i>

02:17:44.760 --> 02:17:48.470
<i>I was born into this world
to share men's pain.</i>

02:17:50.480 --> 02:17:53.360
<i>I carried this cross for your pain.</i>

02:17:58.740 --> 02:18:00.740
<i>Your life is with Me now.</i>

02:18:04.620 --> 02:18:06.000
<i>Step.</i>

02:19:38.170 --> 02:19:41.760
<i>It was in the year 1641,</i>

02:19:42.050 --> 02:19:44.930
<i>during the first of my voyages to Japan,</i>

02:19:45.300 --> 02:19:47.840
<i>that I, Dieter Albrecht,</i>

02:19:47.930 --> 02:19:50.150
<i>came upon the most extraordinary story</i>

02:19:50.770 --> 02:19:52.440
<i>in these pages.</i>

02:19:54.020 --> 02:19:55.110
Christian.

02:19:55.850 --> 02:19:57.020
Non-Christian.

02:19:57.270 --> 02:20:00.940
<i>As a physician
in a great Dutch trading company,</i>

02:20:01.320 --> 02:20:03.160
<i>I traveled widely.</i>

02:20:03.740 --> 02:20:04.910
Christian.

02:20:05.360 --> 02:20:08.450
<i>But none of the wonders
I have recounted in this journal</i>

02:20:08.780 --> 02:20:10.860
<i>has been so commented on</i>

02:20:11.870 --> 02:20:13.370
<i>as the curious matter...</i>

02:20:13.460 --> 02:20:14.710
Non-Christian.

02:20:14.910 --> 02:20:16.870
<i>...of the apostate priests.</i>

02:20:17.750 --> 02:20:19.000
Christian.

02:20:20.210 --> 02:20:24.170
<i>I came closer than any
European chronicler</i>

02:20:24.260 --> 02:20:26.180
<i>to the enigma of this country.</i>

02:20:26.260 --> 02:20:27.270
Non-Christian.

02:20:28.390 --> 02:20:32.230
<i>And to learning of the lives
of the lost priests.</i>

02:20:34.770 --> 02:20:38.070
<i>Inoue, the Inquisitor, would raid homes</i>

02:20:38.150 --> 02:20:42.320
<i>and search for any objects
with hidden Christian images.</i>

02:20:43.490 --> 02:20:44.820
Christian.

02:20:47.200 --> 02:20:48.950
<i>The two priests were required</i>

02:20:49.030 --> 02:20:52.660
<i>to examine these things
and verify their use.</i>

02:20:54.580 --> 02:20:58.210
<i>I even, on occasion,
observed them myself.</i>

02:21:01.630 --> 02:21:05.600
<i>The Dutch were the only Europeans
allowed to trade in Japan.</i>

02:21:06.340 --> 02:21:07.710
<i>All ships were searched</i>

02:21:07.800 --> 02:21:11.380
<i>to warrant they were not
smuggling religious objects.</i>

02:21:12.180 --> 02:21:15.720
<i>Nothing bearing the images
of the cross, a saint,</i>

02:21:16.100 --> 02:21:17.930
<i>or rosary could pass.</i>

02:21:33.200 --> 02:21:35.070
<i>Despite every attempt,</i>

02:21:35.160 --> 02:21:37.870
<i>a few things
inevitably were smuggled in.</i>

02:21:38.710 --> 02:21:39.750
Christian.

02:21:44.920 --> 02:21:48.000
<i>And then it was
as distressing to the Japanese</i>

02:21:48.090 --> 02:21:50.420
<i>as if blood had been spilled.</i>

02:22:01.730 --> 02:22:05.530
We were taught to love
those who scorned us.

02:22:06.820 --> 02:22:08.370
I feel nothing for them.

02:22:09.400 --> 02:22:12.240
Only our Lord can judge your heart.

02:22:15.580 --> 02:22:17.250
You said, "Our Lord."

02:22:24.630 --> 02:22:25.880
I doubt it.

02:22:32.550 --> 02:22:35.130
<i>When Sawano Chūan died,</i>

02:22:35.220 --> 02:22:40.640
<i>the other priest assumed his duties
and performed them with distinction.</i>

02:22:44.190 --> 02:22:49.070
<i>By this time, I observed he had acquired
considerable skill with the language.</i>

02:22:50.700 --> 02:22:54.370
<i>And seemed to be at peace
with his situation.</i>

02:22:56.330 --> 02:22:58.120
I have good news.

02:22:58.620 --> 02:23:00.830
A man has died in Edo.

02:23:01.960 --> 02:23:03.590
Okada San'emon.

02:23:04.460 --> 02:23:07.840
You will take his name just as it is.

02:23:08.960 --> 02:23:13.340
He had a household,
and a wife and son.

02:23:14.140 --> 02:23:16.390
You can take her as your wife.

02:23:17.890 --> 02:23:21.060
A man works best when he's not alone.

02:23:23.440 --> 02:23:26.070
You should know that on the islands of

02:23:26.150 --> 02:23:30.200
Ikitsuki and Gotō...
Uh... No.

02:23:32.030 --> 02:23:36.200
There are still many farmers
who think themselves Christian.

02:23:36.740 --> 02:23:40.110
Do you like that?
They can continue to be Christian.

02:23:41.200 --> 02:23:43.910
You may take some satisfaction in that,

02:23:44.460 --> 02:23:47.130
because the roots are cut.

02:23:50.170 --> 02:23:52.170
Nothing grows in a swamp.

02:23:54.760 --> 02:23:57.980
Yes, Japan is that kind of country.

02:23:58.510 --> 02:24:01.220
The religion of the Christian
you brought us

02:24:01.310 --> 02:24:03.610
has become a strange thing.

02:24:03.690 --> 02:24:05.190
It's changed.

02:24:21.410 --> 02:24:23.830
You were not defeated by me.

02:24:24.410 --> 02:24:28.040
You were defeated
by this swamp of Japan.

02:24:32.130 --> 02:24:33.420
Welcome.

02:24:36.470 --> 02:24:42.060
<i>Okada San'emon lived in Edo
for the remaining years of his life.</i>

02:24:42.810 --> 02:24:45.730
<i>Some 10 years later,
I was allowed to visit Edo.</i>

02:24:47.230 --> 02:24:50.650
<i>The Japanese gossiped freely
about Okada San'emon.</i>

02:24:51.860 --> 02:24:53.280
<i>The Inquisitor Inoue,</i>

02:24:53.360 --> 02:24:56.240
<i>demanded repeated vows
of apostasy from him.</i>

02:24:56.990 --> 02:24:58.540
<i>And they say,</i>

02:24:58.610 --> 02:25:01.650
<i>"The fallen priest
supplied them all quickly</i>

02:25:01.740 --> 02:25:03.360
<i>"and vigorously."</i>

02:25:19.260 --> 02:25:22.300
I heard the Inquisitor
sent his men for you.

02:25:23.430 --> 02:25:25.390
- Was there trouble?
- No.

02:25:26.680 --> 02:25:28.220
No, no. Just...

02:25:28.310 --> 02:25:31.020
He only wanted to make sure
I wrote the "korobi-shoumon."

02:25:32.440 --> 02:25:35.810
My latest oath of renunciation.

02:25:45.290 --> 02:25:46.630
Thank you.

02:25:57.470 --> 02:25:59.470
For being here with me.

02:26:11.440 --> 02:26:12.570
<i>Padre...</i>

02:26:14.190 --> 02:26:15.520
No. No.

02:26:16.690 --> 02:26:20.150
I'm not... I'm not anymore.

02:26:22.320 --> 02:26:23.740
I'm a fallen priest.

02:26:23.830 --> 02:26:26.250
But you are the last priest left.

02:26:28.290 --> 02:26:30.500
You could still hear my confession.

02:26:30.790 --> 02:26:32.250
No, I can't.

02:26:33.000 --> 02:26:34.410
No! I can't!

02:26:36.340 --> 02:26:38.340
I still suffer for what I did, <i>Padre.</i>

02:26:40.510 --> 02:26:44.230
I betrayed you. I betrayed my family.

02:26:45.180 --> 02:26:46.980
I betrayed our Lord.

02:26:48.810 --> 02:26:50.230
Please...

02:26:51.350 --> 02:26:52.850
Hear my confession.

02:26:57.020 --> 02:26:58.190
<i>Padre.</i>

02:27:17.040 --> 02:27:21.040
<i>Lord, I fought against your silence.</i>

02:27:26.760 --> 02:27:28.840
<i>I suffered beside you.</i>

02:27:29.430 --> 02:27:31.180
<i>I was never silent.</i>

02:27:36.900 --> 02:27:38.360
I know.

02:27:45.070 --> 02:27:50.160
But even if God had been
silent my whole life,

02:27:53.580 --> 02:27:55.160
to this very day,

02:27:57.920 --> 02:28:00.470
everything I do, everything I've done...

02:28:06.760 --> 02:28:08.300
Speaks of Him.

02:28:11.600 --> 02:28:14.650
It was in the silence
that I heard Your voice.

02:28:33.450 --> 02:28:36.200
<i>The Inquisitor
continued to insist</i>

02:28:36.290 --> 02:28:40.830
<i>on periodic examinations
of all suspected Christians.</i>

02:28:42.630 --> 02:28:45.710
<i>Okada San'emon
was not exempt from this.</i>

02:28:46.510 --> 02:28:51.140
<i>Inoue was determined
to never let his example be forgotten.</i>

02:28:51.640 --> 02:28:55.650
<i>Perhaps most particularly
by the priest himself.</i>

02:29:03.820 --> 02:29:05.320
Okada San'emon.

02:29:32.930 --> 02:29:36.260
<i>In the year 1667,</i>

02:29:36.770 --> 02:29:40.360
<i>a religious image was
discovered inside an amulet</i>

02:29:40.440 --> 02:29:43.700
<i>belonging to a servant called Kichijiro.</i>

02:29:49.950 --> 02:29:53.000
<i>The servant said
he had won it gambling,</i>

02:29:53.120 --> 02:29:54.790
<i>had never looked inside,</i>

02:29:54.990 --> 02:29:58.660
<i>and could never have gotten
the amulet from Okada San'emon</i>

02:29:58.750 --> 02:30:01.090
<i>since he was always underguard.</i>

02:30:07.380 --> 02:30:11.090
<i>The servant Kichijiro was taken away.</i>

02:30:13.180 --> 02:30:17.900
<i>After that, Okada San'emon
himself was carefully watched.</i>

02:30:18.770 --> 02:30:23.280
<i>During my last voyage in 1682,
I asked about him.</i>

02:30:23.770 --> 02:30:26.400
<i>And the Japanese were eager to reply.</i>

02:30:27.740 --> 02:30:29.450
<i>The last priest</i>

02:30:29.530 --> 02:30:32.120
<i>never acknowledged the Christian God.</i>

02:30:32.620 --> 02:30:34.830
<i>Not by word or symbol.</i>

02:30:36.080 --> 02:30:39.420
<i>He never spoke of Him
and never prayed.</i>

02:30:40.000 --> 02:30:41.920
<i>Not even when he died.</i>

02:30:43.500 --> 02:30:47.170
<i>The business of his faith
was long ended.</i>

02:30:53.760 --> 02:30:56.470
<i>Three guards
stood watch over the coffin</i>

02:30:57.470 --> 02:31:00.810
<i>until it could be taken away,
just to be certain.</i>

02:31:03.020 --> 02:31:06.270
<i>Only his wife was briefly
allowed to view the body,</i>

02:31:06.650 --> 02:31:09.490
<i>and place there,
a humble</i> mamorigatana

02:31:11.530 --> 02:31:13.580
<i>to ward off evil spirits.</i>

02:31:52.950 --> 02:31:55.750
<i>There was no indication that she wept.</i>

02:32:49.670 --> 02:32:52.970
<i>The body was treated
in the Buddhist manner.</i>

02:32:53.920 --> 02:32:57.050
<i>And he was given a posthumous
Buddhist name.</i>

02:33:07.980 --> 02:33:10.490
<i>The man who was once Rodrigues</i>

02:33:11.900 --> 02:33:13.700
<i>ended as they wanted.</i>

02:33:15.570 --> 02:33:17.540
<i>And as I first saw him,</i>

02:33:19.450 --> 02:33:21.000
<i>lost to God.</i>

02:33:27.410 --> 02:33:30.200
<i>But as to that, indeed,</i>

02:33:31.920 --> 02:33:33.760
<i>only God can answer.</i>
