DISSOLVE TO:<br />

A SMALL CAMPFIRE<br />

<strong>The</strong> survivors from Dejima have camped in a wooded spot for<br />

the night. All of the men are sleeping, save for Hanjo, who<br />

shivers mercilessly from opium withdrawl.<br />

O<strong>is</strong>hi lifts a small bubbling pot from the fire.<br />

OISHI<br />

Here. Drink th<strong>is</strong>.<br />

With trembling hands, Hanjo does.<br />

HANJO<br />

(ashamed)<br />

Look at me...<br />

OISHI<br />

I do. In pride.<br />

HANJO<br />

What <strong>is</strong> there to be proud of? I am<br />

weak. Even now I crave the opium,<br />

O<strong>is</strong>hi.<br />

OISHI<br />

<strong>The</strong> opium craves itself. And that<br />

will pass.<br />

willing to sacrifice all, to reduce<br />

himself beyond what <strong>is</strong> endurable<br />

without thought for himself, in the<br />

hopes of one day returning honor to<br />

h<strong>is</strong> lord’s name.<br />

me...humbles me by h<strong>is</strong> example of<br />

bushido.<br />

O<strong>is</strong>hi bows h<strong>is</strong> head and Hanjo lets the moment infuse him,<br />

settle into the deep steel of h<strong>is</strong> soul. Strengthen him.<br />

HANJO<br />

So how can I help?<br />

OISHI (VO)<br />

<strong>The</strong>se are the names of all the Ako<br />

samurai.<br />
