[00:00:00]Last ninja mission, a dirty joke, 1854.

[00:00:04]Commodore Perry's black ship sits in Edo Bay. A low-rank clerk climbs aboard. He is actually Sawamura Jinzaburo, a real Iga ninja on assignment. Perry had ended 200 years of Japanese isolation overnight. Panicked, the lord of Tsū activated a centuries-old contract with the Iga clans one [music] final time.

[00:00:25]Sawamura couldn't read English or Dutch, so he grabbed anything portable. Two pieces of bread, two candles, >> [music] >> two scraps of Dutch paper, a grocery list. Years later, scholars finally translated the papers. Paper one, a sailor's [music] dirty joke ranking foreign women. Paper two, a sentimental proverb, "Still waters run deep." 500 years of shadow warfare, Iga, Koga, shuriken, secret scrolls ended [music] right here. Not with a sword fight, but with a smuggled dirty joke.
