FADE IN: DAWN. CRASHING SURF.
The waves toss a bearded onto wet sand. He lies there. A child's shout makes him lift his head to see: a little blonde boy crouching, back towards us, watching the tide eat a sandcastle. A little blonde girl joins the boy. The Bearded Man tries to call them, but they run off, faces unseen. He collapses.
The barrel of a rifle rolls the Bearded Man onto his back. A Japanese security guard looks down at him, then calls up the beach to a colleague leaning against a Jeep. Behind them is a cliff, and on top of that, a Japanese castle.
INT. ELEGANT DINING ROOM, JAPANESE CASTLE - LATER
The Security Guard waits as an attendant speaks to an elderly Japanese man sitting at the dining table, back to us.
ATTENDANT (in Japanese): He was delirious. But he asked for you by name. And... (to the Security Guard) Show him.
SECURITY GUARD (in Japanese): He was carrying nothing but this...
He puts a handgun on the table. The Elderly Man keeps eating.
SECURITY GUARD: ...and this.
The Security Guard places a SMALL PEWTER CONE alongside the gun. The Elderly Man stops eating. Picks up the cone.
ELDERLY JAPANESE MAN (in Japanese): Bring him here. And some food.
INT. SAME - MOMENTS LATER
The Elderly Man watches the Bearded Man wolf down his food. Heslides the handgun down the table towards him.
