Rodrigues is walking down the crowded, noisy street the Japanese houses clustered together. A distance ahead, there is the entrance to a courtyard and Rodrigues moves toward it.

 

 

 
Father Soldi:"Good evening, my son".
Rodrigues:"Good evening, Father. I have a package for His Eminence. It's always good to see you, Father Alvito".
Father Alvito:"I'm pleased your journey was a safe one".
Vasco Rodriques, Your Eminence".
Dell'Aqua:"You have a package for me, my son?"
Rodriques:"From Father Sebastio in Anjiro".
Father Alvito:"It's the English pilot's rutter".
Dell'Aqua:"Yes. I want you to read it all tonight.
If the rutter proves that they are pirates which, of course
they are then the man has damned himself".
Father Alvito:"Yes, Your Eminence".

 

 
Blackthorne is asleep in the bunk. 
A hand reaches down and shakes him awake.
Naga:"Ima ikanakereba narimasen. Koi!"
Blackthorne:"Where are we going? Toronaga-sama? 
You understand wakarimasu ka, where?"
Naga:"Isogi nasai!"
Blackthorne:"You're an unpleasant little bugger, aren't you? Hai?"
Naga:"Hai".

There are twenty Samurai in brown kimonos standing on
the wharf -- as Naga leads Blackthorne down the galley gangway. 
The Samurai quickly form an escort around Blackthorne -- 
with Naga in the lead, as they move toward the city.
