By 1860 Japan had already opened

her doors to the rest of the world

and the first ambassador to

Washington had arrived only after

alongand perilous voyage by sea.

Ten years later, despite the new

railroad from San Francisco,

Ambassador Sakaguchi, Lord of Bizen

was to find that besides the peril

of the voyage by sea,

there were further danger to

be faced on land, on theirway

through the West.

Okay men, all out,

but don't get dirty.

I got a bad feeling.

About what?

Just bad, that's all.

Well look, Hunt, no worry,

It ain't him I'm worried about.

Meaning what?

Meaning the both of you shut up.

Gauche, make sure everything's

all right outside.

Anything you say, General.

Then I want to check out that private car.

I'm not worried about you, Link,

don't get that idea It's Gauche.

What about him?

I don't know.

That's your split, take it and go.

Please Link, don't get sore.

But before you go, if I were you

I'd change my clothes

your pants are wet.

Alright, you tally.

Listen in there,

we got thirty guns out here.

Thirty one.,

And whatever you got in there

can't be much So, open the door.

Maybe he don't speak English.

Well, I sure as hell don't speak Japanese.

Pablo speaks Latin He used to be a priest.

Si, si.

Ah, the hell with it,

get Hunt We'll blow it up.

I am Sakajo Bizen,

Ambassador to the United States

on authority from his lmperial Majesty,

the Mikado, the Emperor of Japan

I caution you both,

I am on my way to Washington.

My safe arrival is guaranteed by your government.

Washington is quite a few hills

away I'm coming in.

Look out for these two.

Samurai guards?

In my service.

Well, if you want them to remain

in your service,

better tell them just to keep

their hands off those long knives.

Well now, Ambassador, tell you

how this works.

You're being a foreigner in a strange

land, me and my partner here,

we look around, take what we want.

You try to stop us, we kill you.

There is no need to be destructive

The money is there.

Ambassador, you're a gentleman,

enjoy your stay in our country.

What do I do with these two?

Well, unless you have some

special use for men dressed

up like women, let them go.

All right.

Sir, it's a gift for the President

from my lmperial Majesty the Mikado.

Oh, gold, real gold, huh?

You tell your emperor, I thank him.

Jump.

Link.

Well, makes a good butcher shop.

You.

Are you shouting at me?

I want to know your name.

You're lucky I don't shoot you.

I ask for your name.

In New Orleans I've shot men who

didn'tlike the cards I dealt them.

So why? I'll tell you my name,

what good is it to you?

I intend to find you, I intend to

see you dead.

I get impression that until today

you've never seen a man

killed by one of these.

Gun Sword, we all die the same way.

The name is Gauche.

They were like brothers.

That's too bad.

The man who killed him,

also tried to kill you.

Yeah, so it seems.

He stole from us Something

very precious.

A gift to your President

from my lmperial Majesty.

Too bad.

It is a matter of honor

that it be returned to us.

You will lead my Samurai to that man.

Nope You'll want to kill Gauche on sight,

but I want that damned Frenchman alive.

Atleast until I get my hands on that money.

That will be between you and my Samurai

You will leave immediately.

I guess you didn't hear me, Ambassador.

I'm not dragging some greenhorn

around the countryside.

Make no mistake, Karoda

is no ordinary man.

I don't care what he is Look,

Ambassador, we don't have horses,

and Gauche has a two hour head

start and he's got 20 mean guns to back him up.

Hell, even if I do catch up with

him, the trouble just...

Silence Each of these dots

represent a day.

I have given him seven days

to recover the Mikado sword.

In seven days, I will pass here again,

the same train.

Suppose he doesn't make it in seven days.

For the disgrace of failure,

he will rip his abdomen, kill himself.

So will I We call it, hari Kiri.

Well, that's something I'd like to see.

And he might as well do it now,

cause I'm not taking him.
