"Ah, gentlemen, come in." "Captain Algren, it seems you have endured your captivity with little ill effect." "I was not ill-treated, Sir." "Mr. Omura, I have here a draft of the arms agreement." "Captain Algren, I'm eager to know how many Samurai have joined in Katsumoto." "I'm afraid I don't know." "You spent the entire winter in his encampment." "I was a prisoner." "Was it far to find his position?" "has he acquired firearms?" "Come man, tell us what you saw." "As you said, Colonel, they are savages... with bows and arrows." " Sir, about..." " I'm sure your documents are in order, ambassador, thank you." "If you leave them on my desk, I'll have a read at my appropriate time." "With all due respect, Sir." "our president's patience is wearing thin." "Perhaps there's someone else we should be speaking to." "With all due respect, ambassador." "Perhaps there's someone else we should be speaking to." "For instance, French or the English, or with any of the legations waiting in the next room." "Yes. well, we should be looking forward to hearing from you." "Good afternoon, gentlemen." "Captain Algren." "Perhaps you and I might have a while in private." "Please, sit down." "May I offer you a whiskey?" "No, thank you." "Katsumoto is an extraordinary man, is he not?" "He is a tribal leader." "I've known many of them." "But now who are Samurai, their way is a great appeal." "I don't see others concerns me." "Ah, but it does." "You see, you were right." "Captain Algren." "Last year we were not prepared to go to battle." "You were right and Colonel Bagley was wrong." "But now we are ready." "If Katsumoto is allowed to attract the other Samurai to his cause, we will have 10 years of barbarian." "This is something I will not allow." "Either I'll stop him in the council today." "or you will lead my army against him." "and with these new weapons, you will crash him." "I appreciate the offer." "It is not an offer." "Mr. Omura, my contract with you, was to train your army." "Then we will make a new contract." "One that recognizes the extraordinary contribution you have made to the Emperor." "Do we understand each other?" "Yes, we understand each other perfectly." "Then I am pleased." "Follow him." "If he goes anywhere near Katsumoto, kill him." "Captain Algren, what in heaven is this going on?" "The diplomatic news are fast." "Omura has passed the laws against Samurais." "Mr. Graham, I need a drink." "He is your friend, Katsumoto, we can come to go up against the council this afternoon." "You, Samurai!" "Don't you know about the order?" "Oh my God, it starts." "Hey boy, are you listening?" "No wonder the foreigners mock you." "Let's give this Samurai a haircut." "Cut off his top knot." "Get down!" "Kneel!" "Captain Algren" "Lower your weapons!" "Lower your weapons!" "Lower your weapons!" "Lower your weapons!" "Who are you?" "I am Captain Algren." "Stop!" "Get down!" "Let's go." "I'll take you home." "Okay" "We must resist the western powers by becoming powerful ourselves." "Our army, our economy must be strong." "Minister, you honor us." "It is my honor to rejoin this council." "Perhaps you are unaware of the law against wearing sword." "I read every law carefully." "Yet you bring weapons into this chamber?" "This chamber was protected by my sword when..." "We need no protection." "We are a nation of laws." "We are a nation of whores, selling ourselves..." "If we are whores, the Samurai made us this way." "I have not seen the Omura family giving gold to the masses." "Minister Katsumoto, it is with great regreat... but I must ask you to remove your sword." "This sword serves the Emperor... only he can command me to remove it." "The Emperor's voice is too pure to be heard in this council." "Then, I must refuse to give up my sword." "Then regretfully, my guards will accompany you to your home in Tokyo." "There you will await our summons." "I heard you are leaving" "Omura offers my job and you run away." "I suppose I should thank you." "$500 a month, including back pay for time spent...in captivity." "That is enough to come back inside the barrel for the rest of your life." "You are welcome." "Well, and this is putting in my drawer." "Katsumoto is under arrest, Omura won't let him last the night." "With Katsumoto dead, we should get little trouble handling the rest of the rebellion." "Even without you." "Specially without you." "Just tell me one thing" "What is but your own people that you hate so much?" "Save us the trouble..." "The Samurai are finished!" "Stop!" "Don't come any closer!" "Don't stop." "Whatever you do, don't stop." "Minister Omura has commanded us to photograph the traitor." "Stop!" "Somebody!" "Bring that equipment here NOW!" "Immediately!" "You stop!" "You insolent, useless son of a peasant dog!" "How dare you show your sword in his presence!" "Do you know who this is?" "This is the President of the United States of America." "He is here to lead our armies in victorious battle against the rebels!" "It's not my responsibility..." "Now get over there and help those men with their equipment!" "Carry the equipment." "President of the United States?" "Sorry, I think I made you sick." "How is your poem coming?" "The end is proving difficult." "This is Mr. Simon Graham." "He would like very much to take you a photograph." "This is an honor." "I thought you returned to America." "I decided to stay." "See if I could convince you to escape." "How do you think to do that?" "Mr. Graham, perhaps you would care to take pictures of my village." "I will be greatly honored." "My Lord!" "My Lord, no!" "Nobutada!" "Father, let me stay." "It is my time." "My lord we must go." "The Emperor could not hear my words." "His army will come here." "It is the end." "For 900 years, my ancestors have protected our people." "Now..." "I have failed them." "So you're taking your own life in shame." "Shame for a life for "Service, Discipline, Compassion"" "The way of the Samurai is not necessary any more." "Necessary?" "What can be more necessary?" "I'd rather die by the sword." "my own or my enemies'" "Then let it be your enemies'." "Together, we will make the Emperor hear you." "He was a good man." "Will you fight the white men, too?" "If they come here, yes." "Why?" "Because they come to destroy what I have come to love." "The way of Samurai is difficult for children, he misses his father." "And he is angry because I am the cause of that." "No." "He is angry because he fears you will die as well." "My father taught me it is glorious to die in battle." "That is what he believed." "I would be afraid to die in battle." "So would I" "But you have been in many battles." "And I was always afraid." "I don't want you to go." "Algren" "They are coming." "I take 2-4 regiments." "Come in the waves of a thousand." " They may have a howitzer." " It makes no difference." "They will come in the way where we make up a stand." "How many men we have?" "Maybe 500." "Like the general Custer, huh?" "There was once a battle at a place called Thermopylae." "300 brave Greeks held off Persian army of a million men." "a million, you understand this number?" "I understand this number." "For two days, the Greeks made them pay so dearly the Persian army lost their strong taste for battle." "And they were defeated soon after." "What do you have in mind?" "Take away the advantage of their guns." "I'm confident we can use that." "Move them close, close enough for a sword." "You believe a man can change his destiny?" "I think a man does what he can... until his destiny is revealed." "May 25th, 1877." "This will be the last entry in this journal." "I try to give a true account of what I've seen, what I've done." "I do not presume to understand the course of my life." "But I know I'm grateful to a part taken in all of this." "Even if for a moment." "Algren-san, will you come with me?" "If you wear this armor, it will honor us." "You will need this." "What does it say?" "I belong to the warrior in whom the older ways have joined the new." "Good God!" "Sir, The Imperial Army of Japan demands your surrender." "If you and your fellows lay down your arms, you will not be harmed." "This is not possible, as Mr. Omura knows" "Captain Algren... we will show you no quarter." "You rise against us." "You will be the same as they are." "I will look for you on the field." " Captain Algren" " Yes, Mr. Graham" "Perhaps you could use this for your book." "Yes, I will." "Captain..." " Godspeed." " Mr. Graham." "Stand up straight!" "Well, they won't surrender." "Are we ready?" "Get into your position!" "Fire for test!" "Test!" "Test!" "Adjust the battery" "Ready!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "They are covering their retreat." "You see, even the mightiest Samurai cannot stand up to our howitzer." "It seems they are attacked." "I advise sending skirmish first." "Nonsense!" "Full attack!" "Step forward!" "They are coming." "Wait for a volley." "Second volley." "Set fire" "What on earth!" "What is happening?" "Shoot!" "Their attack has been stopped." "Sending the rest of the regiment." "What happened to the warriors in Thermopylae?" "Dead to the last man." "Algren-san" "Son of a bitch." "They're once again winning." "There'll be two more regiments up here this time." "we won't be able to stop them again." "You don't have to die here." "I should've died so many times as before." "Now you live again." "Yes." "It is not your time." "It's not over." "Cannon, prepare to fire!" "Prepare to fire!" "This is madness." "Is he going to attack?" "Yes." "He is defeated." "He must accept his shame." "Kill them back." "Block them." "Now!" "My horse!" "Fire!" "Attempt" "Attempt" "Fire!" "Fire at will!" "Bring up the new guns!" "Prepare the new guns!" "Fire!" "Quickly!" "Quickly!" "Fire!" "Stop firing!" "Idiots, keep on firing!" "Stop firing!" "Stop!" "No..." "Shoot!" "Kill Katsumoto!" "Kill the American!" "You have your honor again." "Let me die with mine." "Help me up." "Are you ready?" "I will miss our conversations." "perfect..." "They are all perfect." "On behalf of the United States of America, the signing of this treaty... will usher in an era of unprecedented prosperity... and cooperation between our two great nations." "On behalf of the Emperor... we are pleased to have successfully concluded this negotiation." "He is here?" "Highness, if we could just conclude the matter at hand..." "This is Katsumoto's sword." "He would be honored for you to have it." "Let the strength of the Samurai be with you always." "Enlightened One, we all weep for Katsumoto, but..." "He hoped, with his last breath that you would remember the ancestors who held this sword and what they died for." "Your Highness." "You were with it at the end?" "Hai. ( Yes )" "Emperor, this man fought against you." "Your Highness, if you believe me to be your enemy." "Command me... and I will gladly take my life." "I have dreamed of a unified Japan." "...of a country strong and independent and modern... and now, we have railroads, and cannons, western clothing." "But... we cannot forget who we are or where we come from." "Ambassador Swanbeck..." "I have concluded that this treaty is not in the best interests of my people." "Sir, if I may..." "So sorry, but you may not." "This is an outrage!" "Enlighted One, we should discuss this..." "Omura you have done quite enough." "Everything I have done, I have done for my country." "Then you will not mind when I seize your family's assets and present them as my gift to the people." "You disgrace me." "If your shame is too unbearable..." "I offer you this sword." "Tell me how he died." "I will tell you how he lived." "And so the days of the Samurai had ended." "Nations, like men, it's sometimes said, have their own destiny." "As for the American Captain, no one knows what became of him." "Some say he died of his wounds." "Others he returned to his own country." "But I like to think, he may have at last found some small measure of peace that we all seek, and few of us ever find."
