English pilot William Adams has led his ship to Japan. But in this episode, he and his men - wracked by starvation and scurvy - must now negotiate the various powers of this exotic land. There are the Japanese warlords, the Portuguese, and the Jesuits, who all would like nothing more than to see Adams and his comrades executed. But there are other elements who have interest in the strangers - including the land's most powerful lord - Tokugawa Ieyasu. It will fall on Adams to find a way out of the dangerous situation he and his fellow crewmen face. And if that means going to war - so be it.
