HANJO<br />
Sir... <strong>The</strong> men have gathered.<br />
But when O<strong>is</strong>hi opens h<strong>is</strong> eyes, there <strong>is</strong> a curious look on<br />
Hanjo’s face.<br />
OISHI<br />

EXT. SENGAKUJI TEMPLE - MOMENTS LATER<br />
O<strong>is</strong>hi quickly makes h<strong>is</strong> way down the foggy path toward the<br />
temple. <strong>The</strong> glow of many lanterns blaze through the m<strong>is</strong>t<br />
ahead.<br />
O<strong>is</strong>hi mounts the temple steps and ascends --<br />
INSIDE<br />
And where he expects to find Asano’s three-hundred-and-fifty<br />
loyal samurai warriors, fully-armed and ready to restore<br />
their Lord’s name to glory --<br />
He <strong>is</strong> shocked to find only forty-three...<br />
O<strong>is</strong>hi stares at the men, a quarter of them in their fifties<br />
and sixties. One of them, HORIBE, <strong>is</strong> even in h<strong>is</strong> late<br />
seventies.<br />
And there <strong>is</strong>n’t a stitch of steel between them.<br />
OISHI<br />
Where are the others?<br />
O<strong>is</strong>hi stands momentarily dumbfounded. A man awaking from a<br />
dream of heaven...only to find himself in hell.<br />
Finally, an elderly warrior (CHUZAEMON) speaks up.<br />
CHUZAEMON<br />
We were once 350 strong. Now look<br />

KIMURA<br />
You prom<strong>is</strong>ed us honor, O<strong>is</strong>hi!<br />
ISOGAI<br />
