JOHN You're a...Zoologist, right? JOSTER Yeah. Listen, John. I've come here not only to research the ecology of animals. JOHN What do you mean? JOSTER Why are the animals living in the nature? Why don't they have their own civilizations? It's not the reason that they don't have the intelligence to do so, I think. JOHN ... JOSTER I wanna know the reason. And I think the human beings should learn what really the nature is. JOHN The thing the people have forgot. Maybe the origin of religions is in it. JOSTER John? Why did you come here? JOHN I was exiled from Japan because I am a Christian. Christianity has been banned in my country. I came to the Great Britain after that, and had concentrated on the missionary work, but I couldn't save the people. JOSTER So, you've come here to find the way to save the people. JOHN smiles wryly. JOHN No. I just wanted to leave from the people who wanted me to save. JOSTER I didn't know that the clergyman falls into a slump. JOSTER and JOHN laugh. The noise occurs suddenly from the darkness.

Everything is all right. JOSTER Thank you. I hate snakes. JOHN Are you really a zoologist? JOSTER Since I am a human being, I have a weak point If you blame me, I'll do the same thing to you. You are a clergyman, right? But you killed a life. JOHN OK. That's enough. We are the human beings. Sometimes, we make mistakes. JOHN smiles awkwardly and glosses over. JOSTER Anyway, we better get sleep. While one people are sleeping, another one should be watching out. Let's change the role every two hours. JOHN You're right. You sleep first. JOSTER Thanks. Please wake me up two hours later. JOSTER lies down and covers his face with his hat. JOHN sighs and looks up to the sky. Many stars twinkle in the darkness sky.

JOSTER realized something while looking at his cup noodle. JOHN What? JOSTER Where can we get hot water? JOHN Oh, god... JOHN stares at his cup noodle sadly. JOSTER and JOHN freeze there. JOSTER Of course we can't get hot water here... JOHN That means we can't eat this... They get tired again. JOSTER throws his cup noodle down to the ground. JOSTER God damn it! Their mood gets bad. A bottle of fruits punch is coming from the upper part of the river and is caught by a rock in front of JOSTER and JOHN. They stares at the fruits punch. JOSTER (voice of his mind) Why is a fruits punch here? JOHN (voice of his mind) Yeah. It's 19th centuries, now. There should be no fruits punches here. JOSTER (voice of his mind) But I want it... JOHN (voice of his mind) Yeah, me too... JOSTER John! JOHN Joster! They hug each other and laugh. While hugging, JOSTER stares at JOHN with a bad thought. JOSTER (voice of his mind) If we drink it together, each of us can drink about 150ml. But, if I drink it all, I can drink 300ml. It's easy. I should drink it alone. JOHN looks at JOSTER with a bad thought while hugging, too. JOHN (voice of his mind) It's bad idea that I drink it alone... But I am a priest. What my believers should do without me? it is justice that I drink it alone. That is god's will! JOSTER and JOHN look each other while smiling. They grab the fruits punch at the same time.

The fruits punch flies upon them and starts falling down slowly. JOSTER and JOHN can do nothing but stare at the situation. The bottle of the fruits punch is smashed away. JOSTER Gee! JOHN ... JOSTER and JOHN look at the smashed bottle for a while. JOSTER God... JOSTER kneels. JOHN finds what they should do. JOHN (V.O.) We have to do something for this. EXT - PRIMITIVES' VILLAGE - NIGHT The village is ruled by silence with no lights. JOSTER and JOHN show their faces from the bush. Their faces are colored army pattern. JOSTER There seem to be no one.

JOHN It's time to rock n' roll! JOSTER and JOHN start moving toward a big storage of the village. JOHN moves as if he is an expert and hides beside the storage. JOSTER follows JOHN. JOSTER You look like an expert. JOHN I was in the SAS when I was in the Great Britain. JOSTER The SAS? JOHN Yes. It is a special air service of the army. JOSTER Wow. Cool. JOHN Nobody there.

JOSTER You're great, John. I can't believe you are a clergy man. JOHN smiles. JOHN Anyway, we got our food. JOSTER Yap. I hope we aren't be caught by them. Suddenly, the SOLDIER comes out of the bush near them. JOSTER and JOHN freeze for a moment. Suddenly, an arrow comes from the bush opposite side of the SOLDIER, and hits the SOLDIER's chest. The SOLDIER's face turns pale and he falls down. JOSTER and JOHN are looking at the event while holding each other with their frightened faces. NER who is a woman looking as a soldier comes from the bush. A fear disappears from JOSTER'S face. NER stares at JOSTER and JOHN and aim at them by her bow. NER "PrœšŠ‰!!"

JOSTER "How could you, John!" JOHN "Come on, Joster. She helped us." JOSTER "Yeah. But I am so hot! I wanna do it once..." JOHN "Joster!" JOHN gets angry. JOSTER "OK. That's my fault. But you're too serious." JOHN "Joster, we don't have a time that much." JOSTER "You're right. Let's get out of here!" JOSTER starts running away first. JOHN sighs, and then starts following JOSTER. EXT - A JUNGLE NEAR A LAKE - NIGHT JOSTER is going forward with his lighter. JOSTER "I'm tired... Hey, John. Let's take a rest?" Nobody answers. JOSTER gets nervous and turns around. Nobody stands behind JOSTER. JOSTER "Come on, John. I don't like that kind of joke." Silence rules there. JOSTER "Gees..." Suddenly, the noise that something is splashing water comes from the back. JOSTER starts walking toward the noise. He finds a lake. In the lake, NER is taking bath. JOSTER can do nothing but stares at her. NER's naked body shines with moon light beautifully. JOSTER starts walking toward her as if he is possessed by something. NER is surprised at JOSTER's appearance and hides her breasts. JOSTER "Hi... Um..." NER starts running away. JOSTER "Wait!" JOSTER starts chasing her and pushes her down at the shore of the lake. NER starts shaking because of the fear. JOSTER stares at her face. NER starts crying. JOSTER leaves from NER. JOSTER "I'm sorry. This is not what I wanna do. I wanna..." Suddenly, somebody hits JOSTER's head from behind, and JOSTER passes out. NER is just looking at the event. EXT - A PRISON - MORNING JOSTER wakes up. A sunshine comes in through a small window in the prison. JOSTER comes back himself and gets up. JOHN's voice can be heard. JOHN "Joster." JOSTER surprises and looks at JOHN. JOSTER "John!" JOHN "We seem to be arrested." JOSTER "So, you chased that girl, too?" JOHN "What's that?" JOSTER "You don't?" JOHN "I was just walking behind you. And I felt someone else there, so I turned around and I..." JOSTER "Hit by someone, right?" JOHN "Yes. I am ashamed that. How about you?" JOSTER "Well I was hit near the lake." JOHN "I know. You stared at the girl's nude." JOSTER "How did you know?" JOHN "That's my guess." JOSTER "Anyway, What should we do from now?" JOHN "It is easy for me to escape from here, but I wanna stay a little bit. We have to gain more information." JOSTER "You're right. We don't know where we are now." The sound that someone is coming closer can be heard. JOHN "Be quiet..." JOHN puts his finger in front of his lip and watches out side of the prison. JOSTER sneaks to the hall way. An old woman, TI is walking toward the prison. JOSTER gets nervous. TI "How are you doing?" JOSTER "Who are you?" TI "You should introduce yourself first." JOHN "My name is John Bunzaemon. I came here to be spiritually awakened. This is..." JOSTER "I am Joster Honda. Call me Joster." TI "My name is Ti. I am the chair person of this village." JOHN "Why did you arrest us?" TI "You stole foods from the Won village." JOSTER "This town?" TI "No. It's not here. This is the Ar village, women's town. The Won is men's. We are fighting each other." JOSTER "Women's town? Wow. So, who is the girl?" TI "Who?" JOSTER "She was in the lake where I was arrested." TI "That's Ner. She is a warrior here." JOHN "Why are you fighting with the Won?" TI stops talking. JOSTER and JOHN can do nothing but wait TI's words. TI "It's not your business." JOSTER "Come on." TI "I want you to do nothing. I don't want to have troubles with the Won without specific reason. That's why we keep you here." TI leaves after her words. JOSTER sighs. Suddenly, the sound occurs from opposite side of the place TI left. JOSTER and JOHN get nervous. A BOY who took JOSTER and JOHN's foods shows himself up from behind of a rock. JOSTER and JOHN are surprised. JOSTER You! The BOY is frightened. JOHN Joster, stop it! JOHN stops JOSTER and comes closer to the BOY. The BOY stares at JOHN with frightening. JOHN Come on, BOY. JOHN invites the BOY. The BOY is coming closer to JOHN. JOHN smiles and takes out a raisin. JOHN Take it. The BOY looks at the raisin with his interest and extends his hand to it. JOHN puts the raisin to the BOY's mouth slowly. The BOY bites the raisin softly. JOHN Lord, have mercy. The BOY smiles and looks up JOHN. BOY ίΊœ™‰Š JOSTER is coming closer to JOHN. JOSTER What? What did he say? JOHN I don't know. But I can say that he likes us.

JOSTER and JOHN stop escaping and look at NER and the BOY. NER holds the BOY with kind smile. JOSTER and JOHN can do nothing but stare at NER and the BOY. JOSTER They are parent and child?

We'll get trouble if they find us. JOSTER Yeah, you're right. JOSTER and JOHN move quietly and go close to the sound. They look at the men from a bush. JOSTER Gee's... Many men with arms and bonfires are walking while they are shouting a song. JOSTER What are they doing? JOHN They may be heading for the Ar village. JOSTER What? It means they'll attack the village? JOHN nods. JOSTER Oh my god. We have to save the village! JOHN No way. What can we do by only two people? JOSTER But... JOHN We gotta get out of here. We are in danger, too. JOHN starts running away to the darkness. JOSTER follows JOHN. EXT - THE AR VILLAGE - MORNING Whole of the village was burned down. JOSTER and JOHN just stand and stare at the burned village. JOHN Nothing is left... JOSTER God... It's too cruel. JOSTER starts walking as if he is possessed by something. JOHN follows JOSTER. They are looking around while walking. Many burned houses around them make smokes. JOHN But there are no bodies here. They may be living. JOSTER Ner! JOSTER is prowling while shouting the name. JOHN She is not here.

Bonfires are put in the center of the space and NER is tied to a wood there. The primitive men are dancing while they are whispering voodoo languages. JOSTER stares at the situation during hiding a bush. JOSTER Ner. I'll rescue you soon... An OLDEST MAN in the village steps in front of NER. OLDEST MAN ‡„‡R«φ`&2 Right after he said, the other men scream pleasantly. Around them, women including Ti show their sadness on their face and look at what is going on.

Suddenly, JOHN's yelling comes from behind the village people and all of them turn around. JOHN God forbids men to kill the living things. OLDEST MAN Don't bother us, John. We have our own rules to keep. JOHN No. You promised me that you follow God's basic rules. OLDEST MAN ... All people there become silent. NER gets nervous and is watching the situation. JOSTER comes in front of NER and starts taking her rope off. OLDEST MAN Who are you!? JOHN Oh, he is my fellow. OLDEST MAN OK, I follow you this time. But it is quite important for us to keep our rules. If we don't, the village is collapsed. Those women did it and you know what happened. A war makes nothing but gives us a sadness. The rules we have are same as your religious belief. JOSTER But it can't be the reason that you dominate women! JOSTER shouts at the OLDEST MAN, and NER stops him. NER Joster, it's enough. We lost. So it is natural that we obey them. This is the rule that a fugitive is executed. OLDEST MAN I said I stop this execution. Instead, you have to go to the jail for a while. We take care your son. NER Master... OLDEST MAN Are you satisfied, John? JOHN Yes. OLDEST MAN I have to say thank you for your helping wounded soldier here, but I can't ignore the rules we have any more.

NER makes her face close to JOSTER and kisses him. NER I never forget you. JOSTER holds NER tight for a while, and then stands up and walks away from her. JOHN Joster, are you all right? JOSTER Let's go, John. We should have had the reason to come to this jungle. JOHN ...you're right. JOSTER and JOHN start walking. NER is untied and stares at JOSTER leaving the village. JOSTER never turns around. EXT - SHORE AT A RIVER - EVENING JOSTER and JOHN are sitting on the edge of the ground. They look tired. JOHN You are hungry? JOSTER Yeah...but we have nothing to eat.
