Shōgun

There's a saying out here that every man has three hearts. One in his mouth, for the world to know... another in his chest, just for his friends... and a secret heart buried deep where no one can find it. That is a heart a man must keep hidden if he wants to survive. You'll understand soon, Inglés. And who knows, maybe-maybe fate brought you here for a reason. Maybe you'll live long enough to find out what it is.

John Blackthorne: This isn't the end for me. I won't die in this wretched land. Vasco Rodrigues: This wretched land? I'll tell you what, Inglés. We're coming into port soon. Why don't you go on up there? Go up and tell me what you see. And tell me, when you set eyes on Osaka, if you really think our world is the hilt of civilization. And then ask yourself, "What kind of man wields power in a land like this? " The one who schemes in the open... or the one you never see?"

Father Visitor Carlo Dell'Acqua: This English pilot... how do you mean, obscene? Father Domingo: You know the sort. Uh, dirty. Diseased. And he's got a filthy mouth. He's like a back-passage of the 15th rank. Know what I mean, Father-visitor? Father Martin Alvito: [Perusing journal] These journals are proof of his depravity. Look your eminence. [Hands journal to Father Visitor Carlo] Domingo: Sacked, pillaged and slaughtered his way through Manila. He's a real piece of work, that one. Brutal savage. Dell'Acqua: So we show this to the Japanese. And he will be hanged for piracy. Alvito: I'm afraid it may not be so simple. Despite the discord in Osaka, Toranaga is still president of foreign relations. He's a thorough man. I fear he'll want a complete translation of this journal. [Turns a whole pages] Perhaps a bit too complete. Dell'Acqua: [Servant drops a money bag on table, to Father Domingo] I'll thank you to leave now. Domingo: [Grabs money bag, to clergy figure] So you know, this, uh

John Blackthorne: You're telling me the lords here don't know? Father Domingo: It's too late for that now. John: You don't understand. I must tell them. That's my way out. Domingo: You can't play their game. Their rules are too opaque, their hearts too guarded. John: You don't know me. Domingo: I've known a thousand of you.

Toda Mariko: My master asks for you to draw a map of the world. John Blackthorne: Oh. Thank you. [Uses a stick to sketch a global map outline in a zen garden] Um... This is the limit... of what I know. The earth is round. Like a fruit. Uh, Japan is here. My country, England... is on the other side of the world. We came by way of Magellan's Pass. We are the first outsiders to use it because the Spanish and the Portuguese kept it secret. And for us, it was safer to sail this way. Because we had to avoid a Portuguese base in Macao. [Softly gasps] It employs Japanese mercenaries. I'm told you call them ronin. A secret Catholic fortress, used for guns. Employed during an uprising some years ago. My master asks that, later, you write this map and mark the Portuguese bases. If I may, I will explain now. This is the way Portugal and Spain carved up the New World that split undiscovered land between them. Your country falls... into the Portuguese half. So it belongs to them. I'm sorry, sir, but
