| The Official is walking toward the cell block
with two jailers.
He reaches the door and opens it. The Official steps into the doorway. Official:"Anjin-san!" Friar Domingo:"Thy confession, my son. Say it quickly". Blackthorne:"I don't think". Friar Domingo:"Say it now! The Blessed Virgin will watch over you!" |

| Samurai leader:"Anjin-san?"
Blackthorne:"Hai. Where are we going? There? Hai!" Samurai leader:"Hai". Blackthorne:"Sweet Christ, I thought I was a dead man". |

| Osaka Castle. Blackthorne is sitting on a
low stool, covered with suds as the bath attendant shampoos his hair.
Blackthorne is approaching the veranda -- his hair tied neatly back, wearing a clean kimono and sash, tabi and thongs on his feet. He sees Mariko and smiles. |

| Blackthorne:"It gives me great pleasure to
see you again, my Lady".
Mariko:"Thank you, Captain. I am pleased to see that you are well. May I present the Lady Kiritsubo". Blackthorne:"Konnichi wa". Kiri:"Konnichi wa". Blackthorne:"Is the Lady Lord Toranaga's wife?" Mariko:"No. Lord Toranaga's wife died many years ago. The Lady Kiritsubo was once his consort. Now she is the mistress of his household". Blackthorne:"Konnichi wa, Toranaga-sama". Toranaga:"Konnichi wa, Anjin-san". Blackthorne:"I don't know how to say it correctly. I've only learned a few words and phrases. How do you say it properly, I don't speak Japanese?" Mariko:"I am sure Lord Toranaga understands what you meant". |

| Mariko:"My Lord wishes to know about you and
your country.
About your king and your customs and your history". Blackthorne:"We have no king, Lady. My country is ruled by Queen Elizabeth and she is a wise and just ruler". Mariko:"My Lord also wishes to know about your ships and weapons. And how you guided your ship here. My Lord wishes to understand all these things". Blackthorne:"That would seem to be just about everything I know". Mariko:"That is precisely what my Master wishes to learn the truth about everything, what is fact and what would be your opinion". |

| Blackthorne:"I will be pleased to tell him
-but that may take some time".
Mariko:"My Master has the time". Blackthorne:"This is the map of the world as we know it. The earth is round, like an orange, but this map is like its skin, cut off in ovals, north to south, laid flat and stretched a bit at the top and bottom. This is north and this south, east and west. Japan -- Nihon -- is here. And my country is here. This is Africa and this is the Americas. Mariko:"Lord Toranaga wishes you to show him on the map how you came to Japan". Blackthorne:"This way. Mariko:"My Master wishes me to explain what you have said. You may wait over there". |

| Mariko:"My Master says that he will continue
his discussion
with you later". Blackthorne:"I am at his convenience, my Lady". |
