fade in:
1. A white tiger is
surrounded by a shadow of a sword and a sword. The tiger's eyes gleamed fiercely, slamming left and right in the middle of the encirclement. Suddenly it jumped over everyone's heads and turned into a ball of flame.
2.
He is sitting in the picture with the face of a Japanese man named Katsumoto Moriji. He is sitting in meditation. We will know him in the future.
Dimming.
The opening subtitles were reflected in the depressed military music.
Representative of Winchester Company (voice-over): Now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have been waiting for...the manufacturer of various weapons used by the US military, the Winchester Company, the largest arms company in the United States, to celebrate us For the centenary of the founding of the country, a true American hero has been invited for you.
3. Interior view, City Hall (San Francisco),
where a promotional event is being held during the day . A group of semi-naked beauties wore red, white and blue underwear to show off the latest US export product: arms. Some banners are large books about the various effects of Winchester and Springfield Arsenal products. The crowd walked freely in front of the stage. On the stage:
Representative of Winchester Company: This is one of the best fighters in our country. After the bloody battle in the cornfields of Antietam, the blockade of Sharpsburg, because he was in Gettysburg. In the battle, he won the Medal of Honor for bravery.
On a sand table model, a group of tin soldiers marched in line. A company of federal cavalry attacked the Indian warriors with their colorful faces on their horses.
Representative of Winchester Company: He belongs to the 7th Cavalry Brigade and participated in many battles to defeat the most barbaric Indian tribes. He was once again a Medal of Honor for destroying the horrible Cheyenne at the Battle of the Ouachita River... Ladies and gentlemen, now Please, Captain Nathan Ogren!
There was a sparse applause. The representative of Winchester Company looked back, but Captain Oglen was not seen.
Winchester company representative: Captain Nathan Oglen! (Pause) Yes! ……Yes! (Still not seeing Ogren play) [Where did he go? ! ] (To the audience) Wait a moment, ladies and gentlemen...
He walked into the backstage and saw a man leaning against the wall. He fell asleep while standing—this was Nathan Oglen, a retired US military captain. The Winchester company representative tried to wake him up, but he only opened his eyes, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, the representative of Winchester Corporation shook him boldly and almost made a big disaster.
Representative of Winchester Company: Hi, hi, Ogren...
Ogren woke up suddenly, grabbed his neck furiously, and frightened him out of his body.
Representative of Winchester Company: Don't do this... Quickly let go... Ouch... In
an instant, Ogren seemed to be strangling the man to death, but he gradually came to his senses.
Winchester representative (come down again): Damn, hi, it's time for you to play.
Ogren: ...well.
It can be seen that he is drunk. The company representative wanted to fix his tie, but the smell of alcohol made him dodge back quickly.
Winchester representative: Our company needs to maintain a good image, you know.
Ogren: I am keeping, I am keeping.
Winchester representative: Of course you have to do it well. This is 10 dollars for you. Give your speech well, you have to come back tomorrow.
The company representative walks away. Ogren quietly drank another sip from the bottle, and then stubbornly stepped onto the stage.
Ogren: Thank you, Mr. McCabe... You are so kind to me.
For a moment, he looked down at the rifle in his hand.
Ogren: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our weapon to conquer the west.
Only a few people paid attention to the lecture. He looked at the little tin soldiers and Indian warriors on the sand table, then looked up at the man holding the teleprompter card, and continued mumbling.
Ogren: …I have been surrounded by ferocious Indians several times--if I hadn’t had this rifle in my hand, I would have died… I can tell you all, if you need rescue, Winchester will Can keep you safe.
He thought hard about his speech, when the Indian warrior on the sand table began to move up the mountain. At a nearby booth, the siren organ began to play music.
Ogren: There is no doubt that the red race is a very fierce enemy. If they were allowed to get a hand, my scalp would have been stripped off. The one standing in front of you today is a bald man.
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. But the laughter fell silent immediately, and a change appeared in Ogren's eyes. A booth nearby rang the bell of the steam engine, which once again distracted him. He left the speech.
Ogren: Just like those poor bugs in the Battle of Little Bighorn. She was stripped naked, cut off her hands and feet, and left to rot in the sun. Just two weeks ago.
Ogren seems to have to play freely. The Winchester company representative turned to his assistant.
Representative of Winchester Company: This is not a word in the speech. What is he going to do?
Ogren: Ladies and gentlemen, the 7th Cavalry Brigade is the best warrior to kill the enemy.
Then Ogren first whispered, then whistled the tune of "Gary Irving" more and more loudly. People were a little hesitant at first, but gradually some people followed suit.
Ogren: Come on, blow it up, pay tribute to the 7th Cavalry Brigade!
The whistle became louder and louder, and Ogren began to dance a quick step.
Oglen: Captain George Yates, Sergeant William A. Curtis, Pvt. Thomas Atchison,
Corporal William... the crowd clapped with Oglen's dance steps. One person in the crowd laughed knowingly. This person was Corporal Zebron Gantt.
Finally, the representative of Winchester Company felt that it could not go on like this anymore, and stepped onto the stage to speak.
Winchester representative: Thank you, Captain Ogren, thank you.
But Ogren refused to give up. There was another strongness in his voice.
Ogren: I'm sorry, I'm speaking for the dead. (Turning to the crowd again)
Corporal William Timan, Private Benjamin F. Brown... Suddenly, Ogren stopped. The whistle of the crowd also stopped. He looked up at the crowd.
Although Ogren was exhausted, he was after all a man accustomed to giving orders.
Ogren: I'm speaking for the dead!
The Winchester company representative stepped back in horror. The bells of the nearby whistle organ and steam engine rang again. Ogren shook his head fiercely, and reached out and took out a handful of bullets from his pocket.
Ogren began to fill the rifle with bullets. The representative of Winchester Company said to his assistant.
Winchester representative: Oh, my goodness... Is he really going to shoot?
Young assistant: Hmm—hmm.
Representative of Winchester Company (
retarding far away): Ah, God... Ah, God... Ogren (looks up at the crowd): This is a 73-type lever linkage "predator" seven-burst The rifle, one shot per second, has an effective range of 400 yards. (To a boy in the crowd) Boy, have you seen what this gun can do? This toy can make a 6-inch wide hole in your father's chest. (To another person in the crowd) Absolutely, little girl. You can kill 5, 6, and 7 bad guys by yourself without any bullets in between. (He loads the bullet while talking.) Look at this specially designed magazine, and it also has a very flexible trigger.
He raised the striker on the gun and aimed the gun directly at the Winchester company representative.
Ogren: Let's take a look...
Ogren aimed the gun over the head of the crowd towards the distance. boom! ! ! The women screamed. The whistle organ was beaten dumb. boom! ! ! A hole was punched in the steam engine, and a cloud of steam spewed out of it, enveloping the frightened Winchester company representative in the mist. boom! ! ! The bell that kept ringing was beaten out of sight. The crowd suddenly fell silent. People's attention is completely controlled by him.
Ogren: I thank you on behalf of the dead. They gave their lives just for this better amusement machine and for this hot business opportunity.
In the silence, we saw a trace of pain flash in his eyes.
Ogren (for the crowd): Mr. McCabe is at the scene to accept your order. (Throws the gun to him) God bless you.
Ogren bowed slightly to the audience, then turned around and stumbled off the stage. Seeing all this, Gantt shook his head with emotion.
4. Interior view, the hotel room where Oglen lives. At night,
Gantt pressed Oglen's head in the washbasin to sober him up. Oglen raised his head, his eyes dull, like a rat falling into the water. .
Gantt: Nathan, your promotional ad is the worst I have ever seen.
Ogren: Thank you.
Gantt: There are 500 staff in the War Department, but none of them know where you are.
Ogren: I have been very busy.
Gantt: Not really. Your performance today is pretty good, especially when it comes to the 7th Cavalry Brigade. Evil is rewarded, don’t you say.
Ogren: Who asked you?
Gantt: Give you a reward for your performance today, Nathan.
Ogren: Are you a critic now?
Gantt: No, buddy. It was for you to meet an old friend, who saved your fool’s life only six or seven times, and still feel obligated to look after you.
Ogren: Thank you. However, I saved your fool's life.
The two looked at each other and smiled. In fact, the two have rescued each other how many times.
Ogren: When did you leave the army?
Gantt: 6 months ago. I have done mining, repairing bridges, or selling insurance, but none of them work. Even tried to do it in a store that specializes in scams. Can you imagine how I sell all kinds of knick-knacks to those ladies? "Oh, miss, you see how beautiful this picture is printed..."
Ogren reached out for the bottle, and Gantt took the bottle away.
Gantt: I got you a job unless you really want to develop in acting.
Ogren: I have a job.
Gantt: I know there is only one job in the world that is best for you, Nathan. A man's job. Put on the military uniform again.
Ogren: I will not return to the army.
Gantt: Do you think I asked you to return to the US military?
5. Interior, restaurant, night
Gantt led Ogren into a luxurious hotel. A one-armed man greeted us.
One-armed man: Captain Ogren, my name is Charles Wright, and I was in the Ninth Illinois Army at the Battle of Charlotte. I just want to shake hands with you, sir.
Ogren was very disgusted with such flattery, but he grumbled to deal with it, and then walked forward. Colonel Benjamin Bagley and three Japanese are sitting at a dining table.
Bagley: Nathan, it's been a long time. happy to see you.
Bagley stretched out his hand, but Ogren ignored it and gave Gantt a fierce look.
Gantt (whispering): You still listen to what he says...
Ogren (without expression): Colonel Bagley, it's a great pleasure to meet.
Bagley: Nathan, I would like to invite you to meet Mr. Omura from Japan and his three assistants. I can’t pronounce their names well... Please sit down, please sit down...
Omura, 40 years old, is a very A chic, very elegant man. Ogren sat down reluctantly. A waiter was waiting beside.
Ogren: Whiskey.
Bagley: Japan is now striving to become a civilized country. Mr. Omura is here hoping to hire white experts to train their military at a reasonable price.
Ogren's cold eyes made Bagley very embarrassed. Omura watched them attentively.
Bagley: Washington insists that we only provide advice and do not participate in combat. The task is to help them train soldiers, master tactics, and so on. (Raising the glass) If we do a good job, the emperor will give the United States the franchise to import arms.
The whiskey Oglen asked for was brought up. He drank it in one gulp, then looked directly at Omura.
Ogren: I have a contract with Winchester, I think you probably understand what the contract is about.
Omura spoke suddenly, and his English was impeccable.
Omura: You only give you $25 a week for the "show" for Winchester Company. We intend to pay you 400 dollars a month.
In 1876, this was a large sum. Gantt was so startled that he even squirted out the wine in his mouth.
Ogren: 500.
Omura looked at Bagley. He was not prepared to bargain.
Ogren: An additional $500 bonus will be added after the task is completed. (Pleasantly) How many real heroes have you recruited? (Looks back) Why is it so troublesome to have a glass of wine?
Ogren laughed. The waiter hurriedly filled his wine glasses.
Omura and his assistant talked in Japanese.
Omura's assistant (subtitle): This person is so rude.
Omura (subtitle): This is the custom here. Everything is talking about business.
Gantt: I don't know who we are going to beat when we train your soldiers? Or just "in theory"?
Although Omura was a little annoyed by Ogren's rude attitude, he still maintained his usual politeness.
Omura: The name of the man to be hit is Katsumoto Moriji, and he is a samurai.
Gantt: Samurai?
Omura: It's what you call a "warrior". Katsumoto once assisted the emperor to restore the throne, but now he betrayed the emperor, he must be punished.
Bagley: Mr. Omura knows that we have experience in punishing traitors...
Ogren: Really?
Bagley: He even read your book. (To Omura) Captain Ogren’s research on Indian tribes played a key role in our defeat of the Cheyenne.
Ogren looked at Bagley with his eyes, and suddenly started laughing.
Omura: Sorry, what is so ridiculous?
Ogren: Nothing. The reunion of old comrades is certainly exciting. (Stands up) I'm sorry, but I will make a sigh.
Ogren turned and walked out. Bagley also stood up.
Bagley: There will be no problem. I will go talk to him now.
Omura: Colonel Bagley, we are looking for you because you used to be Captain Ogren’s boss...
Bagley: I understand.
Omura: And, you have promised us that he will participate.
Bagley: He definitely will. You allow me a little while.
5A.
Bagley overtakes Ogren in the hotel lobby .
Bagley: Nathan... They know everything about you very well. Your reputation is highly valued by them. (Ogren looks at him directly) This opportunity is very rare, why do you need to bring up the suspicions between us in the past? ... (Oglen said nothing) I was just acting on orders. I have nothing to blame. (Ogren looks up at him) Nathan, you are the best officer I have ever used. It's up to you now.
Ogren: You let me kill the Japanese, I can kill the Japanese...
Bagley: We didn't let you kill...
Ogren (ignoring Bagley's interruption): You let me kill The enemy of the Japanese, I can also kill the enemy of the Japanese. Whether it is the southern rebels, the Sioux, or the Cheyenne, 500 oceans a month, you can let me kill anyone. (Approaching Bagley) But there is one thing you should keep in mind... If I kill you, I can take nothing.
Bagley: Then you can show everywhere what an amazing officer you are. Does that mean?
Ogren gave a loud hiccup. Then walk away.
6. Location, ship (on the sea), during the day
a ship sails through the waves of the vast Pacific Ocean.
Ogren (voice-over): July 22, 1876. It has been sailing at sea for 20 days. I don't know how far it is from Japan.
Ogren looked at the vast sea.
Ogren (voice-over): After six months of work, you can earn a captain's salary for three years. Perhaps it is more troublesome to train Orientals than to deal with the simple-minded recruits in the country?
7. Interior view, the small cabin where Ogren is, at night
Ogren opened the suitcase, and inside it was a brand-new US military uniform, but there was no military emblem. He put on his shirt and looked at himself in a mirror.
8. A very short silent flashback --- a desolate mountain
horse hoof stepped on a dusty fog. Ogren, dressed in the uniform of the 7th Cavalry Brigade, was giving orders to a group of soldiers.
9. Back to the small cabin,
Ogren took out a shiny Colt-style pistol from the suitcase, put it on the small table, and flipped it up with his fingers. The muzzle was facing him when the pistol stopped. He stared at the pistol blankly, and then laughed for no reason.
10. and 11. Deleted.
12. Location, Yokohama Port, during the day,
just like the whole of Japan, Yokohama is at a turning point towards a new era. Ancient sampans and wooden sailing boats, along with modern freighters and luxurious ships, travel through the port.
13. Exterior view, wharf (Yokohama), during the day,
Yokohama wharf is a five-way place, where a variety of different languages, different looks, different smells and different sounds are mixed. A row of rickshaws are there waiting for our distinguished guests from a long voyage.
Among the greeters was Simon Graham, a shabby British who had lived in Japan for many years.
Omura: Colonel Bagley, would you please share the car with me?
Bagley got into the rickshaw in the big village, and Graham smiled and greeted Oglen.
Graham: I think these cars will bring us back here. (Stretches out his hand to Ogren) Simon Graham, it's an honor to act as an interpreter for you.
Ogren: Nathan Ogren. This is Zebron Gantt.
Graham: Welcome to Japan, gentlemen. It’s no better than your west, but I promise you will find it equally dangerous.
Gantt: I'll take care of the luggage.
Ogren boarded the rickshaw and sat side by side with Graham.
Ogren: Mr. Graham, I hope you can collect all materials for me about Katsumoto Moriji and his samurai.
Graham: I'm afraid it's all in Japanese.
Ogren: Are you not a translator?
The rickshaw started to set off.
14. Interior/exterior, rickshaw/street,
a bustling scene on the street during the day : here is a geisha with white powder, there is a Russian with a big beard; some people wear traditional Japanese kimonos, others It is a suit, leather shoes, and a top hat; here is a world of mixed colors, where ancient Japan and modern commercial society coexist at the same time.
Graham: It was a small town 20 years ago, please see it now. For many centuries, this place has been closed and closed, and foreigners are not allowed to enter. Until one summer, you, Commodore Perry, suddenly came here with a gunboat and politely asked for the opening of a port for business...otherwise the entire Tokyo would be razed. Flat ground. The world was turned upside down in an instant, the government collapsed, and the people lived on the streets. Even the powerful samurai couldn't resist. (Slightly smiles) However, these Japanese people are very smart. They hire talents from all over the world to study how to beat us according to our rules of the game. I came here with the business mission of the British Empire, but soon lost my position. (Avoiding Ogren's gaze) My unlucky habit is to tell the truth, but no one in this country can speak directly. So I am now very faithfully translating other people's lies.
14A. Exterior view, guest house, during the day
Ogren, Graham and Gantt walked into an old-fashioned courtyard.
Graham: You guys rest here. Not just any place can receive foreigners like us, but I believe you will be very comfortable here.
Ogren and Gantt were about to step up the steps, and Graham cleared his throat.
Graham: Oh, please wait a moment, I'm very sorry... (Shoes off) I'm afraid we have to take off the shoes.
Gantt: Get out?
Graham: I think so.
At a loss, Gantt and Ogren began to take off their boots laboriously.
15. Deleted.
16. Location, playground, daytime
A group of soldiers stood in line, watching Graham, Oglen, and Gunter get off the rickshaw. General Hasegawa greeted him, a weather-beaten soldier.
Graham: Gentlemen, please allow me to introduce General Hasegawa, who will assist you in your military training.
Ogren: General.
General Hasegawa bowed. Ogren stretched out his hand to prepare for a handshake. A moment of embarrassment.
Hasegawa (Japanese): ...
Graham (translator): He extended his most sincere welcome to you and asked if you can start reviewing the troops now.
Hasegawa led them to a reviewing stand, with a panoramic view of the entire playground. The soldiers wore loose uniforms and walked around the playground. Ogren and Gantt looked at them.
Hasegawa (Japanese): ...
Graham: The general asks you for forgiveness. These recruits are farmers and they don't know anything or know nothing.
Ogren: Please ask what kind of training they have received.
Graham spoke to General Hasegawa, and then translated his answer.
Graham (Japanese): ...
Hasegawa (Japanese): ...
Graham: He said, we train them not to hit themselves.
Hasegawa gave Ogren a helpless wink.
16A. Location, playground, during the day
Ogren and Gantt train Japanese soldiers.
Gantt: My Jesus, the Virgin Mary and the saints...
Ogren: Gantt Middle-earth, gather troops.
Gantt: Yes. The first company, stand --- upright!
Gantt's sergeant translated the password into Japanese.
Ogren: For the sake of God, we don't have to hide who is responsible here... Mr. Gantt.
Gantt (roaring loudly): Okay, you little bastards, stand up straight, and be careful that I take care of you bastards one by one! ! stand at attention!
The soldiers stood neatly shhhh.
Gantt: Sir.
Ogren: Good job, sergeant.
Gantt: Thank you, sir. If you understand their language, everything will be easier.
Here we start a short-shot montage:
Gantt inspects in front of the queue, cursing along the way.
Not far away, Ogren taught the formation to a group of young officers at a blackboard.
16AA. Interior/exterior view, Oglen’s tent,
Oglen was keeping a diary during the day .
16AB. Location, playground, during the day,
Gantt and the Japanese interpreter ordered the soldiers to raise their guns. Ogren checks the queue.
16B. Location, playground, during the day
Ogren explained the rifles in their hands to the soldiers.
Ogren: This is a 1861-style musket made in Springfield, USA, with a caliber of 58. This kind of gun can only be lethal by a volley. So we are going to teach you how to line up to shoot.
Gunter's sergeant translated Oglen's explanation into Japanese.
Sergeant (Japanese): ...
16C. Location, playground, during the day,
Oglen was shooting in a line with the professor. His requirements are very strict, and every movement must be completely accurate.
Ogren: Once again, this is the second row. Listen to my command, kneel in the front row, raise the gun, (as a demonstration) the back row half-step to the right and half-step forward.
Gunter's sergeant translated Oglen's explanation into Japanese.
Sergeant (Japanese):...
Ogren: Kneel down in the front row! Volley, prepare, aim, release!
Sergeant (Japanese): ...
50 guns were fired all at once. No ammunition has been issued to them yet.
Ogren: Gun on the shoulder!
Sergeant (Japanese):...
Ogren turned and walked away from the recruits' queue.
Ogren: You come on, Zeb.
Gantt (in a low voice): When they receive the live ammunition, I may have returned to Kansas City... (pause, improvisationally) The front row, stand up!
(Alternative to Scene 27)
Cut in:
Ogren approaches Hasegawa and Graham. They watched the recruit training together.
Ogren: Please tell me what kind of character is this Shengyuan?
Graham translated his question into Japanese.
Graham (Japanese): ...
Hasegawa (Japanese): ...
Graham (translation): Katsushimoto was once the emperor's teacher and the most dependent minister. (Presenting his discussion) But Omura's plan to create a new army made the samurai no longer necessary, so he rebelled.
Ogren (checking the queue of recruits): Sergeant, let them stand! Announce the end of today's training! (Turning to Hasegawa and Graham) So who will supply him with arms?
Graham translated the question and Hasegawa answered.
Graham (Japanese):...
Hasegawa (Japanese):...
Graham: Katsuemoto no longer uses firearms. He thinks it is detrimental to his reputation.
Ogren: No longer use firearms?
Graham (asked again, in Japanese): ...
Hasegawa (Japanese): ...
Graham (explained exaggeratedly): In the eyes of old-school people who value tradition, Katsumi is a hero.
Ogren looked at Hasegawa, who nodded politely.
Ogren: Is he familiar with him?
Graham: The general and Katsumoto fought together to defend the emperor.
Ogren: Fight with the samurai?
Graham looked at Ogren.
Graham: He is a samurai.
17. to 21. Delete.
22. Location, playground, daytime
The troops have been trained to look good. Gantt commanded the recruits to pass in front of a pavilion for inspection. Inside the pavilion are VIPs participating in the review. The distinguished guests applauded politely. When Ogren and Bagley walked into the pavilion in full uniforms, the military band played American songs. The diplomatic envoys of various countries congratulated them. These envoys came from all the great powers who were looking forward to Japan: Russia, Britain, Germany, France.
A diplomat: That's amazing, Captain. So neat. Your presence shocked all of us. The entire diplomatic mission has no other topics except you. Our embassy will treat you well.
Graham ran over to help Ogren.
Graham: Mr. Dalgan, please forgive me. The command summoned the captain urgently.
He led Ogren away.
Ogren: Please forgive me. Thank you, Mr. Graham.
Graham: If it were me, I would never accept the invitation, he would poison you in the wine. (Looking around) Ah, these vultures have all been dispatched today.
Graham greeted every diplomat who passed by.
German Diplomat (German): My dear Mr. Graham, why didn't you walk in unison?
Graham (German): Ah, my dear ambassador, hello! (Whispering to Ogren) This guy is good at beating his wife.
French diplomat (to Ogren, in French): Congratulations on your success, Mr. Captain!
Graham (French): Same joy and joy, old friends! (To Ogren) This guy is a playful man.
Russian diplomat (to Oglen, Russian): It's wonderful.
Graham (Russian): Thank you, sir. (To Ogren) This guy is a complete alcoholic.
As he walked, he continued to whisper to Ogren.
Graham: You were in the limelight today. Everyone wants to see this game.
Ogren: This contract should make a lot of money.
Graham: Of course, but Japan is only the first stop. Then there is North Korea, the Philippines, and the biggest one... is China.
Omura walked out of the crowd of entourage.
Omura: Very successful, Mr. Captain. The German ambassador especially expressed admiration.
Ogren: Mr. Omura, what kind of army can be split.
Omura: Indeed. But now you are going to teach them how to fight. Mr. Graham, did you know that Captain Oglen is a great hero?
Graham: I guess so.
Omura: He also has a book: "Western Operations: Tactics of Unconventional Warfare", published in 1872.
Graham: It must be very popular...
Omura (looks at Ogren): Captain Ogren, you play an important role in His Majesty's plan to govern the country. I am honored to inform you that His Majesty the Emperor will summon you in the palace.
Omura bowed and left. Graham was dumbfounded.
23. Exterior view, the palace,
Ogren, Graham and Bagley walked towards the palace during the day .
Graham: You must remember that he is a new god, that is, a god with a human body. For two thousand years, no emperor has allowed ordinary people to see it. You need to know what kind of courtesy and honor this is.
24. The interior, the palace, the steps, and later
they ascended the majestic imperial road.
Graham: Everything here must follow strict etiquette. You can look up at him, but you cannot speak unless he asks you something. You must bow when he stands up. If he bows, you have to go deeper. I still know this suit, right? I haven't had an upper body for 10 years. The waist is a little tight.
25. Interior, palace, audience hall,
Ogren, Bagley and Graham approached during the day .
Graham (to Ogren and Bagley): Attention, bow. (Gradually) Bow.
Ogren was surprised to find that the god living on earth turned out to be a young man in his 20s. The Emperor Meiji appeared to be gentle, diligent and inquisitive, and was said to be a little indecisive.
A number of ministers and counsellors stood on both sides of the Emperor's throne, and the leader was Omura. The emperor looked at his distinguished guests one by one, and Omura announced to them at this time.
Omura: His Majesty the Emperor Meiji welcomes you and thanks your country for your assistance. We want our country to prosper in harmony, just like yours.
The emperor spoke in Japanese.
Omura: Captain Ogren, Your Majesty would like to know the Indians in your country, and ask if you have seen Indians with your own eyes.
Ogren asked Graham with his eyes, and Graham nodded to indicate that he could speak.
Ogren: Yes, I met them personally.
Graham (translated, Japanese): ...
people waited to listen, but Ogren only said this sentence. The emperor whispered to Omura.
Omura: Your Majesty wants to know if you have fought against them.
Bagley: We have fought, Your Majesty. The red fan is very savage and vicious. They... The
Emperor was obviously not interested in Bagley. He asked Omura another question. Bagley stopped for a while, looking quite embarrassed.
Omura (subtitle): Does your majesty ask this now?
The Emperor (subtitle): Ask now.
Omura: Your Majesty would like to ask Captain Ogren. It is said that the Indians had eagle feathers on their heads and painted their faces colorfully before fighting. Is this true? And I heard that they were fearless... These
words were a big touch to Ogren, but he hid his feelings deeply.
Ogren: They are very brave.
The emperor nodded and smiled.
Emperor (in slightly accented English): I am very...thank you...everyone.
The emperor stood up, and everyone bowed hurriedly. The audience is over.
Graham (to Ogren and Bagley): Back...back...back...turn around.
Ogren, Bagley and Graham turned and left.
26. Location, Tokyo street, daytime
Tokyo is a noisy and chaotic city. Everything seems to be out of balance. It's a mess. East and West collide with each other here.
Graham asked an elderly businessman to stand in front of his store, ready to take a picture of him. Ogren and Gantt stood by and watched.
Graham (subtitles): Don't move, listen to me count to 3, 1...2...3.
Ogren looked at passers-by silently. Suddenly something caught his attention:
Across the street, a man was striding meteorically on the crowded sidewalk. His heroic demeanor, his two swords, an old-style attire, and his special hair bun all show that he is a samurai.
Ogren's arrogant gait and stern momentum made Ogren very curious. People on the sidewalk flashed aside and bowed in salute. Only two young men in suits did not give way.
Shio stopped in front of the two of them, waiting for them to move away. The two did not move. The two sides spoke ill-humoredly.
Young man A (subtitle): Ha, look at this man still wearing a samurai costume.
Young man B (subtitle): Are you still wearing your hair bun?
Ogren (talking to himself): This is a samurai.
Graham: Yes, that's right. Judging from his bearing, this person is quite arrogant.
Shiwei looked at them and walked away. The two young men entangled endlessly.
Young man A (subtitle): Don't look at having two knives.
Young man B (subtitle): That is probably made of bamboo.
Graham: Oh, my goodness, it's not good... they should show respect to him.
Across the street, Shio yelled a few stern orders to the two young Japanese.
Shio (subtitle): You are also worthy of being Japanese!
The two laughed when they heard this.
Shiwei reached out and touched the knife. A young man raised a hand, and obviously said something abusive.
Young man (subtitle): Your time is over...
Like a flash of light, Shiwei draws out his katana.
The light of the knife flashed, and with just one shot, the head of the man was chopped off...
Seeing the headless corpse slammed to the ground, another young man was frightened and hurriedly begged for mercy. Shiwei wiped the blood from the knife and inserted it back into the scabbard. Then turned around and left casually.
Ogren couldn't believe everything in front of him.
When Shiwei walked by, their eyes met for a moment.
27. Interior view, restaurant. At night,
Ogren watched with interest the chef skillfully using a sharp kitchen knife to make the shining silver fish into sashimi. Gantt stared painfully at the wiggling eel that he was about to enjoy. Graham and Hasegawa sat cross-legged to the side.
Ogren: That blade...
Graham: Yes, samurai often try their blades on corpses.
Ogren: I have never seen such a sharp knife.
Graham: Every katana has been tempered and tempered. (Missing for a moment) A person becomes a samurai through thousands of tempers before he can have the will of steel. (The waitress pours him tea) Thank you. This is indeed a spiritual thing, people say that the sword is the soul of the samurai.
Hasegawa watched Ogren drank two glasses of sake in succession.
Hasegawa (trying to speak English to Ogren): Sake is... a good thing.
Ogren (nodding to Hasegawa in agreement): May I ask what kind of character is his Katsumoto?
Graham translation.
Graham (Japanese): ……
Hasegawa (Japanese): ……
Graham (translation): Katsumoto was once the emperor’s teacher and the most trusted minister. (Begins to use his own arguments) You should understand that samurai have been guarding Japan for thousands of years and fighting bloody battles for the country, but now a new type of army is being created... (Pause) Of course, some samurai have accepted this change. Get some money. But there are indeed some people who couldn't stand this situation, so they rebelled.
Ogren: So who supplies him with arms?
Graham: The samurai led by Seigen did not use firearms.
Gantt: What does it mean to not use firearms?
Graham translated the question to Hasegawa and Hasegawa answered it.
Hasegawa (Japanese): ...
Graham: In the eyes of old-school people who value tradition, Katsumi is a hero. He no longer uses firearms, which he thinks is detrimental to his reputation.
Gantt: He used it once, but he doesn't use it now, does he?
Graham: Yes, he no longer uses firearms because he thinks it is a blasphemous "Bushido". "Bushido" is their code of conduct and the requirements are very strict.
Ogren looked at Hasegawa, who nodded politely.
Ogren: Is he familiar with him?
Graham: The general and Katsumoto fought together to defend the emperor.
Ogren: Fight with the samurai?
Graham looked at Ogren.
Graham: He is a samurai.
28. Interior view, Ogren’s residence,
close-up later : a colorfully printed warrior combat map. The war horse leaped, the sword flashed, and the head fell to the ground. Ogren carefully studied the drawing while drinking sake.
Graham: A samurai is a kind of person who makes people wonder. Bloodthirsty, loyal, cold, and amazing martial arts. I have wanted to write a book about samurai for many years, but they keep secrets to outsiders.
Gantt: These bastards are still wearing armor to this day...
Graham: Yes, but when the Irish were still wearing girdles, these guys were already the best warriors in the world.
Ogren: I need to understand their tactics in detail.
Graham: I have several books on this subject. (Nodding to Ogren) It just needs to be translated.
Gantt: The captain will speak Japanese in a few days. You haven't heard, he speaks the words of the Blackfoot tribe very well.
Graham: Oh, the captain turned out to be a linguist! Here, you can say a word or two in this barbarian language.
Ogren glared at Ganter with reproach.
Ogren: I'm sorry, I don't remember anymore.
Graham: Where is it? How long have you been with them? Just say "hello" or "goodbye", or "cut off his tongue and let him go to the pan".
Gantt saw that this topic made Ogren very upset.
Gantt: I have to get up early tomorrow, Captain, it's time to rest, right?
Graham: I have always been very curious about the criminal law of scalping, but I still don't understand how it is.
When the topic involved scalping torture, Oglen's vision changed.
Gantt: Well, you British people are particularly fond of torture.
Graham: Please forgive me...
Gant: A very civilized nation, but there are pulling limbs, iron quinoa, and the bloody Tower of London.
Graham: I'm not talking to you, you uncivilized bandit.
Gantt: Sir, I am an American citizen and I will never be oppressed by you British again.
Ogren interrupted their scolding. His tone was cold and unfeeling.
Ogren: ...First of all, you have to pinch a handful of hair and pull it violently to relax the skin. Then cut the hair bit by bit, because the knife is often blunt, and the hair cannot be lifted all at once. The problem is that when your hands become slippery with blood, you have to twist them hard. In addition, the person whose hair is stripped is still alive, and he is struggling to scream. At this time, putting his knees on his back can calm him down, so that you can end the matter smoothly.
Graham stared at Ogren in confusion. Gantt seemed accustomed to this.
Ogren: When can you translate those books?
Graham (woke up): Soon. I am glad that you are so interested in samurai.
Ogren: I don't care about the samurai. I want to know myself and the enemy.
Graham: I will drive you out overnight. (Stands up, looks drunk) Oh, this sake is making trouble...
Gantt (after Graham left): Are you okay?
Ogren: Leave the bottle of wine.
Gantt leaves. Ogren took another gulp and continued to study the pictures.
29. Interior view, Ogren’s residence, the
wine drank later . Ogren was drunk and unconscious.
30. Flashback, a group of cavalry lined up at the top of the hill.
Ogren was beside Colonel Bagley. Gantt is not far away. In the valley below the mountain is a quiet Indian village.
Ogren: Sir, let me go down and negotiate with the leader.
Bagley: Let the effect of the surprise attack vanish?
Ogren: I promised him that as long as his people stay in the settlement, they will be safe.
Bagley: We are here to crusade, not to guarantee them.
Ogren: These people have nothing to do with our raid mission!
Bagley: But it is a warning to those who are related.
Bagley drew his saber.
Ogren: I promised him!
Bagley: We also assured the colonists their safety! (To the cavalry) Go out in hiding, brothers!
The cavalry team began to march slowly towards the village below the mountain.
31. Interior view, Graham's room. At the same time,
Graham was so tired that his eyes were dim, but he still insisted on translating the materials there. Suddenly, he heard a commotion.
Ogren (voice-over): I promised him! I'm telling you, I promised! ……Do not!
32. Interior view, Ogren’s residence, at the same time
Ogren yelled at a servant, and the servant was terrified. At this moment, Graham came hurriedly.
Servant (to Graham, subtitles): This guest woke up all the other guests...
Ogren: Talk to me in English, you little bastard! Don't keep bowing, bring me wine quickly! Fast, fast! ! !
Obviously, Ogren has not yet woken up from his drunkenness.
Graham: Captain Ogren, I... can I...
Ogren: Go to hell, idiot British! I don't need any historical warnings anymore!
Ogren threw the empty wine bottle at the paper partition. Gantt walked in. Graham looked at him at a loss.
Gantt: Don't bother him.
His words were to let the servant leave. They let Ogren lie in the corner mumbling to himself.
33. Interior, aisle outside Ogren’s room, later
Graham: God, what's going on?
Gantt: He has nightmares. It will be fine tomorrow morning.
Graham: What does he mean by guarantee?
Gantt: I'll be fine tomorrow morning.
34. Location, playground,
training continues the next day . A line of recruits aimed at a row of targets in the distance. Ogren was watching. The hangover caused him a terrible headache.
Gantt: Prepare! aim! Fire!
Recruit shooting.
Gantt: Charge!
Ogren frowned.
Ogren: Sergeant Gantt, their marksmanship is really scary.
Gantt: Oh, I didn't expect them to play so well, sir!
Ogren approached a recruit and taught him how to shoot.
Ogren: Come on, boy. Put the gun against his shoulder, face to the butt of the gun, and see the sight with one eye. Then lightly... lightly... one click.
Sergeant (translation, Japanese):...
Omura (voice-over): Good morning, Captain!
Ogren heard Omura and Bagley walking towards him and closed his eyes.
Bagley: Nathan, (bringing Ogren aside) Katsumi attacked the railway near his site.
Ogren looked at the soldiers who were still practicing aiming.
Omura: Traffic is not safe, how can the country be governed... We must stop his actions.
Ogren: These soldiers have not been trained yet.
Bagley: The rebels didn't have a gun in their hands. They are still using bows and arrows!
Ogren: But they have thousands of years of war experience.
Omura looked at Bagley: Who has the final say here?
Bagley: You have superior firearms and greater strength. I now order the troops to attack the Katsuwon rebels. Are you ready to obey orders?
Ogren pondered for a moment, and then walked to the line that was shooting. Omura and Bagley watched him walk to a young soldier.
Ogren: Shoot at the bullseye.
The young soldier took aim carefully and fired, but was far away from the target.
Ogren shook his head and began to walk towards the target——into the range of firepower. There was a scream from the crowd, and people stopped shooting and did not dare to aim at Ogren.
Gantt: Captain?
Omura and Bagley looked at each other. Ogren continued to move forward, turning his head and shouting back as he walked.
Ogren: Mr. Graham, tell that man to shoot me.
Graham: What did you say?
Ogren took the Colt pistol out of the holster as he walked.
Ogren: Tell him, if he doesn't shoot me, I will kill him when I fire the third shot.
Gantt: Captain, let me say a word...
Ogren stopped and turned around, raised his pistol and fired a shot. The bullet whizzed past the ear of the young recruit. Everyone was stunned.
Ogren: Tell him.
Graham hurriedly told the recruit in Japanese. The recruit had wide eyes and couldn't believe it. The other recruits hurried back.
Ogren stayed on a target at this moment casually.
Ogren: Shoot, damn it.
He raised the pistol again, aimed and shot. This time the bullet knocked off the hat on the poor recruit's head. The young man was so frightened that he dropped the charge skewer and raised the gun. But he still couldn't muster the courage to fire. Ogren fired his pistol again and aimed at the young man. The young man finally pulled the trigger in despair. A flame was emitted, and a cloud of black smoke was raised.
Ogren remained motionless.
Then, walking towards Bagley and Omura casually, he patted the recruit on the shoulder as he passed by.
Ogren: These soldiers have not been trained yet.
Omura and Bagley could only look at him suspiciously. Ogren walked away.
Bagley: The troops will leave at 6 tomorrow morning.
35. Location, Tokyo, during the day the
troops depart from Tokyo.
35A. Location, seaside, during the day the
troops marched along the coastline.
36. Exterior scene, a village that was demolished torn apart,
a locomotive parked there during the day , next to an old village that was demolished for railway repairs. Ogren, Graham, Bagley and Hasegawa led troops through the village.
The house was razed to the ground. The guards drove the homeless villagers. Ogren found that the emblem of Omura was found on a newly-built water tower and on the guards' beams. Omura’s bodyguards supervise the work of the guards here.
Ogren: What emblem is that?
Graham: That's the emblem of the big village family. The Omura Consortium is an industry of this family, and they have many other industries.
Ogren: All this belongs to Omura?
Graham: After the samurai is wiped out, all this place will belong to him.
Some villagers kneeled in front of a demolished temple. Ogren rode past by.
37. Exterior scene, mountain pass, during the day the
troops were winding along a steep mountain pass.
On the wooden poles one by one along the side of the path hung the heads of people who had been chopped off for public display.
Graham: This is the signpost of the samurai. "Not to be surpassed."
37A. Exterior scene, mountain woods, the
troops entered a dark woods in the early morning .
38. Location, mountain woods,
thick fog hits the ground in the early morning . There was an atmosphere of horror and ominous signs all around. Ogren looked around, being vigilant.
Ogren: Lined up in a shooting formation. Send two classes to climb that high ground. action!
Ogren took action immediately, patrolling the queue while issuing orders.
Ogren: Sergeant Gantt, spread out the skirmishers. (Turn around right away) The second column listens to my order to make up!
The Japanese officer followed Ogren closely and passed his orders to the back. Bagley was unhappy with this way of formation.
Bagley: Captain Ogren, we are not participating in combat here.
Ogren: So who will lead these people?
Bagley: They have their officers. We should retreat to the back.
Ogren: We will go down right away.
Bagley: Mr. Graham, you accompany me to the back.
Graham: Of course.
Bagley left the line of fire under Graham's guidance. Gantt watched them go.
Gantt: Dear Captain, you don't mind letting me take a nap...
everything calms down. Ogren looked around. Seeing Gantt frowning and checking his rifle.
Ogren: Mr. Gunter, report the situation to the rear and arrange for the squad to follow up.
Gantt continued to do his business, as if he hadn't heard Ogren talking.
Ogren: Mr. Gunter, did you hear my order?
Gantt: I heard it.
Ogren: Then you should execute the order.
Gantt looked at him. He could see the danger of their situation in Oglen's eyes.
Ogren: Zeb, get out of here, right away.
Gantt: I never meant to disrespect you, sir, but please shut up.
There was a deep sound of horseshoes in the distance, breaking the silence through the thick fog. Then came the sound of drums.
The Japanese soldiers almost trembled with fright. Ogren looked into the mist again. I can't see anything. The sound suddenly stopped. There was silence again, only to hear some soldiers whispering to God for blessing.
Ogren: Put on the bayonet.
Gantt: Put on... the bayonet!
Ogren: Enter the shooting position.
Gantt: Enter the shooting position.
The command was immediately translated into Japanese. One row of people knelt on one leg, and the other row stood behind. In the dense fog, Ogren couldn't see anything. The tension is unbearable.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by on horseback...like a ghost...like a monster in a medieval legend. There are two horns on the helmet. It seemed to come from a nightmare.
Then there was another figure, and another.
Ogren: Pay attention to keep the queue... keep the queue... the
command was translated into Japanese. In an instant, everything was absolutely still, and the atmosphere was terrifying and magnificent.
The samurai suddenly began to charge, appearing from the fog like a tide, shouting and killing is frightening, sweeping the
generals like a tsunami, a shadow of swords, lights and swords... Ogren: Fire!
The platoon of guns fired at the samurai, some people fell, and some horses fell to the ground, but the large group of samurai continued to rush up without fear.
Ogren: Charge, shoot at will!
The Japanese soldiers tried to reload their single-shot rifles, but many had panicked and began to rout. It's a mess.
Ogren: Keep the queue, hell!
It's too late, the samurai have already pressed on...
The strength of the samurai's attack is simply rare. Many Japanese soldiers ran away and lost their lives in the chaos—some were hit by pawns, some were pierced by spears. Those soldiers who were still trying to reload their ammunition were thrown down by arrows that rained over. A samurai in yellow armor galloped past, drawing a bow and arrows from the horse's back. This person is Xinzhong, and his arrow skills and speed are surprising. Gantt brilliantly used Winchester's firing gun in his hand. Ogren rode on the horse and fired back and forth with his pistol. After the pistol was exhausted, he drew out his saber. A samurai stabbed him, he fended off the fatal blow with a saber, and the samurai attacked from behind again! The soldiers fled in all directions. Ogren issued orders loudly, but the discipline was no longer working, and everyone flees for their lives.
Suddenly, a warrior wearing a black armor hit Ogren's mount, and Ogren even led his horse to the ground.
Ogren stood up, but the saber was no longer found. At this time, another warrior pierced him with a spear. Ogren grabbed the spear and twisted it forcefully to keep the warrior from dismounting. Ogren used the spear to penetrate him. At the same time, Gantt shot down a samurai who was killing Ogren from the side.
In the melee, there was a warrior wearing a black mask, riding still on the horse, watching Ogren's fight.
At this time, a group of warriors riding on horses rushed, and Ogren used the spear he had taken to fight these warriors. He stabbed one, and picked the next one off, and when the third slashed his spear to only half of it, he shot the man off the horse with this half of the spear.
At this time, Gantt was chopped to the ground by a rider wearing a red armor. Seeing his comrades-in-arms lying on the ground unable to resist, Ogren desperately broke out a bloody path to rescue. But it was too late. The samurai got off the horse, dropped the sword in his hand, and thrust it straight into Gantt's chest. Ou Gelun behind someone rushing, he turned around and shoved in a timely manner to ward off this
strike. The man in the mask continued to observe him from the side.
Ogren became more and more courageous as he fought and never took a step back, even though the soldiers on his left and right had already run away. Those soldiers completely became a mob, and instead became victims under the katana in the rout.
Ogren, who was fighting alone, found a group of infantry in front of him---foot warriors holding spears. Turning around, the retreat was cut off by another group of samurai with swords.
Ogren did not show weakness and launched another round of attacks.
But after killing a samurai, he was stabbed in the shoulder with a spear.
The red-eyed Ogren desperately continued to fight.
He blocked a blow to his head, but still scratched his scalp, and blood immediately filled his face.
Ogren was surrounded by warriors. Even if a person is bound to die, he still resists bravely. This kind of spirit is what the samurai values most. They gradually moved closer. At this time, Ogren waved the spear that had been chopped in half, and the torn flag with the white tiger emblem was still waved at the top of the spear.
The masked samurai took off the mask. He is the Japanese Katsumoto Moriji who saw the white tiger in the dream we saw at the beginning. He opened his eyes in astonishment, watching his dream become reality - a white tiger made everyone unable to get close.
Slow motion: Ogren brandished his spear against the samurai in the red armor. The man grinned and threw a short knife in his hand at Ogren.
Obviously, Ogren had exhausted his strength. He knelt on one knee, shaking his body, as if he was about to faint. But when the red armored warrior roared and stabbed him with a knife, Ogren stood up sharply and pierced the sharp tip of the half of the spear into the man's throat that was not covered by the armor.
The man fell aside with a plop, and the rest of the warriors gathered around to take Ogren's life.
At this time, a slam stopped their actions.
The originally masked warrior jumped off his horse, approached and looked down at Oglen, and everyone stood aside respectfully.
Ogren knew that he was bound to die. He grabbed a knife from the ground and struggled to kneel up and tried to fight, but Shengyuan drew out his knife like lightning and chopped the weapon in Ogren's hand in half. Katsumoto looked down at Ogren, and now Ogren was determined to die. But Shengyuan shouted an order, and everyone pulled Ogren from the ground.
When Ogren was taken away, he saw the samurai patrolling among the wounded who fell on the ground silently, and killed the one who was still alive.
Then he saw General Hasegawa standing alone, his head hung down without being unsheathed. He was not injured.
Katsumoto walked to Hasegawa's side, and the two talked a few words.
Shengyuan bowed to him, and it was obvious that the two had negotiated something.
General Hasegawa knelt on the ground, took out a short knife, unbuttoned his uniform calmly and solemnly, wrapped the blade with a white handkerchief so that he could turn around and hold it, with the tip of the blade facing his abdomen. Then he closed his eyes and inserted the short knife into his abdomen silently and calmly.
Ogren looked stunned. Katsumi slammed his saber at the lowered head of his former friend.
This is the "cut belly"-the traditional way of samurai self-decision.
Ogren fainted, his injuries made him unable to support.
39. Location, mountain pass,
Ogren wakes up during the day and he is tied to a horseback.
The samurai were climbing a steep mountain pass, and the team gradually disappeared into the towering mountains.
40. Location, in the village.
The horse tied to Ogren by Mizumoto is led by Katsumi and one of his samurai into the screen. This is another Japan, a Japan we haven't seen before. After experiencing the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, this place makes you feel like a paradise. The valley below the mountain is full of paddy fields. Everywhere is filled with the tranquility and harmony that the city lacks.
The team walked into the village, and the villagers gathered on the side of the road to welcome their host, and at the same time looked at the alien white man with curiosity and hostility. Ogren just woke up and was taken off his horse. Shengyuan came to the front.
Shengyuan: What is your name?
Ogren raised his eyes to look at him, and refused to answer.
Shio, the aggressive samurai who chopped off a person's head on the streets of Tokyo, rushed forward and yelled at Oglen in Japanese.
Shiwei (subtitle): You arrogant and rude beast, answer quickly! You, speak up!
Oglen was motionless, his tail pacing back and forth, spitting and cursing while facing Oglen.
Ogren remained motionless. He stared at Shiwei coldly. This requires a lot of perseverance.
Suddenly, Shiwei drew out his long knife suddenly, the blade split the air, making a clank, stopping only an inch from Oglen's face!
Ogren remained motionless.
The tail touched the blade of Oglen's cheek.
The sharp blade just touched the skin and it bleeds immediately. Ogren remained motionless.
At this time, Shengyuan spoke.
Shengyuan (subtitle): Don't move him.
Shiwei retracted the knife into its sheath, and walked angrily. Katsumoto stared deeply at Oglen, trying to figure out his thoughts.
Shengyuan: This is my son's village, you can't run away. This is a deep mountain and wild ridge, and winter is coming.
After Shengyuan finished speaking, he turned and walked away. Xinzhong smiled at Oglen.
Xinzhong (trying to show the only English sentence he understands): Very good!
Ogren watched Shengyuan lead his men towards a majestic palace on a higher mountain in the distance. Then he fainted again.
41. Interior,
Duxiang 's home, Ogren opened his eyes at night ...
A woman was close to him, her eyes focused on stitching up the wound for him. She is beautiful, but he hasn't been fully awake yet, he hasn't noticed this, and he doesn't even feel the pain.
He fainted again.
We found that there was another person in the house—Katsumoto. He sat aside, watching Ogren's sluggish look, trying to figure out how the omen in his dream could be fulfilled so strangely. In front of him were all the belongings that Oglen carried with him. Katsumoto examined them one by one, and then picked up the suede bag that contained Oglen's diary.
41A. Exterior scene, the porch of
Doxiang's house. A samurai guarded the door silently during the day (it was raining) .
42. Interior view,
Duoxiang 's home, Oglen woke up again the next day . It's still raining outside.
His wound prevented him from moving.
A 10-year-old boy appeared in the doorway. He stared at Ogren with visibly hostile eyes.
He called Rijian. He watched for a while, then turned and walked.
Ogren fainted again.
43. Interior view,
Daxiang 's home, Ogren opened his eyes at night ...
Through an arcade, Ogren could see Himi and his 4-year-old brother Sun Jiro playing a horse-riding game.
The beautiful woman who sewed his wound came in carrying a wooden tray and passed by the two children. She said a word, and the two children obediently obediently.
Duoxiang (subtitle): Stop making trouble.
Ogren watched her let her child sit down and eat.
She seemed to feel his gaze. She raised her eyes, met his gaze, and immediately avoided it. Her expression is confusing.
43A. Exterior view, Shengyuan's residence. At dusk,
Shengyuan's residence is an ancient, Chinese-style tile-roofed wooden house. In the distance can be seen continuous snow peaks. Shengyuan walked to the porch and looked at the sleeping village under the mountain.

45. Interior view,
Duoxiang's home, with the former Duoxiang changing the dressing of Oglen's wound.
Xinzhong walked in and knelt beside Oglen.
Xinzhong (speaking to Duxiang, subtitles): His condition is very bad.
Ogren had no idea what Shinzhong was talking about.
He interrupted Nobuada's words with the only Japanese word he had learned.
Ogren: Sake.
Xinzhong couldn't help laughing.
Nobuya: Sake?
Ogren: Sake.
Xinzhong lifted his eyes and looked at Duxiang. Daxiang nodded slightly, stood up and walked away.
Nobuya (subtitle): Daxiang will bring you sake. how do you feel?
Ogren: Sake.
Nobuya (subtitles): Okay, sake.
Doxiang brought Oglen a glass of sake. He drank it, and the glass slipped from his hand.
46. Interior view, Shengyuan's room. At night,
Shengyuan read Oglen's diary carefully under an oil lamp.
Ogren is in voice (voice-over): "November 26, 1868, Ouachita. The only thing I have done in 12 years is to execute orders as best I can."
47. Location, village, night
The guards guarded silently and vigilantly.
Oglen (voice-over): "Tomorrow, if I, as a soldier, do what the officer ordered me to do..."
47A. Interior view,
Daxiang 's home, porch, Oglen crouched and sat in a corner during the day Inside, trembling involuntarily from time to time. He was addicted to alcohol, did not know where he was, and repeatedly remembered his previous sins, so he was suffering from pain.
47B. Flashback,
a group of cavalrymen from the Ouachita River walked into the sleeping village.
Ogren quietly strangled his horse and distanced himself from the others. Gantt noticed.
In the distance, gunshots began to sound, and the terrifying sight of the entire village in blood was only seen from a distance.
Gantt: ... Captain?
Ogren snorted sullenly, and then turned back to Gantt with difficulty, and the two immediately went into battle.
47C. Interior view,
Duoxiang 's home, outside Oglen's room, Xinzhong whispered to Duoxiang.
Xinzhong (subtitle): Give him some sake, aunt.
Duoxiang (subtitles): No, no.
Xinzhong (subtitle): Listen to me in this village.
Duoxiang (subtitle): You have to listen to me in my house.
She went to the door of Ogren's room and closed it.
48. Interior, Fragrant Home,
Ogren lies on the tatami at night , with his eyes open, looking at the void. He picked up his back pot and took a drink, but it was empty.
Ogren (voice-over): "...I will destroy all my beliefs in life."
49. Delete.
49A. Flashback, the
burning huts on the Ouachita River enveloped the entire village with thick smoke. Ogren walked in the ruins of the village. There are dead bodies of people and livestock everywhere.
Gantt: Captain, we are going to retreat. (Looking at him) Captain, the order comes down.
Next to a hut, Ogren saw a boy—very similar to Hijian—holding his dead mother. A flame of hatred burned in the boy's eyes.
50. Back in the house,
Duoxiang slept in her room, and suddenly a shrill shout pierced the tranquility of the night.
51. Location, village, the front
guard immediately jumped up. Many houses are lit up...
52. Interior view, Duoxiang's house, picking up the front
guard and Duoxiang hurriedly into the room. Ogren didn't know where he was. Daxiang walked up to him and knelt beside him. Ogren rushed towards her and grabbed her hand.
Ogren: Sake! Sake!
She stared at him and sighed, without the slightest fear in her eyes.
Ogren (whispering to himself): Sake...
He awoke for a while, let go of her hand, and lay down on the floor.
Ogren: Let me drink a little...
She touched him gently.
53. The interior, Katsumoto residence porch during the day
's tail stood by Katsumoto. Xinzhong listened carefully.
Shiwei (subtitle): Lord, why do you want to keep this savage? He was defeated, he should know the shame, should dictate himself.
Shengyuan (subtitle): Their rules are not like this.
Shio (subtitle): Then let me kill him.
Xinzhong (subtitle): Father, I don't think...
Katsuwon glanced at him: He is too young to speak.
Katsumoto (subtitle): Shio, there will be many murders in the future. What we need now is to understand the enemy we will face. Keep him alive.
