The 47 Ronin v1.3 (c#1A72A6.fdr - Whoa is (Not)

54.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!! They unload a hellfire of pistols, but the
ronin are already gone.
EXT. OPIUM DEN - CONTINUOUS
A squealing wave of rats comes surging from beneath the
building, followed by Oishi and his men.
OISHI
Run for the dock! Let nothing stop
you!
And as a swarm of Dutchmen race around the corner, Oishi
turns and dispatches them while the ronin run. Oishi is Jack
the Giant Killer, cutting down hulking barbarians and buying
time for his men -- until the Kapitan rages forward with
sixty armed men.
Then Oishi, too, turns and runs, cutting a rope that secures
a stack of cargo which comes TUMBLING DOWN, CRUSHING one of
their enemies and HAMPERING the pursuit.
EXT. DEJIMA - CONTINUOUS
Oishi and his men run, a hailstorm of lead ripping past as
they charge out onto the dock -- a quarter-mile of stone
standing between them and freedom.
BEHIND THEM, the Dutch begin to gain. Firing. Firing.
WITH OISHI AND HIS MEN RUNNING ACROSS THE DOCK - as bullets
start finding their marks. One ronin’s head EXPLODES.
Another is GUTSHOT and falls behind. Hanjo goes down with a
bullet in his thigh -- but Oishi is there, hefting him up and
RACING DOWN THE FINAL STRETCH.
THE DUTCH try to reload while they chase, but give up,
drawing KNIVES and CUTLASSES instead. Pouring on the steam.
GAINING UNTIL THE KAPITAN IS ONLY FEET AWAY --
And just as he hauls back to bury his cutlass in Oishi’s
skull --
Oishi DIVES, dragging Hanjo with him...onto Japanese soil.
The Dutch skid to a stop at the end of the dock, millimeters
from crossing the line.
Oishi stares up from the ground at his pursuers, breathing
hard, separated by an invisible wall. Safe.
The Kapitan stares hatefully at Oishi, a seething inferno of
impotent fury. With a roar, he reaches into his shoulder and
pulls out the wicked spike -- nearly a foot of bloody wood --
and casts it aside.
