Yakuza Girl (2024) Movie Script

@@@@@
#####
Come out now with your hands down.
No way.
Traitor
I trust you. My family trust you.
Sorry, it has to be this way.
But I'm gonna take you.
You, dead or alive.
You think become a cop is honorable?
They just like, they are
so corrupted, like us.
Drop the gun.
You won't get away with this.
I'm not going to jail today.
Everyone, everybody is
going to come after you.
Your days numbers
are done, brother.
You have disown me. You have dishonor me.
You have dishonor the family,
and you dishonor the yakuza.
After I'm done with this,
there will be no more.
You or any yakuza in this city.
Why?
I love you like a brother.
This is how you pay me back?
You have cross the line.
I will see you in hell!
So we found a target
hiding out in California,
which is where we're
gonna send Kenji next.
And man of the hour.
There you go.
It must be exciting taking
down that boss. How was it?
I'd rather not talk about it.
You're going down as the
best undercover cop in Japan.
It's honorable.
Thank you. But that's
not the reason I did for.
Oh man.
Think about it. I can already see it.
You're gonna get so much publicity.
The book deals, movie studios.
They're gonna wanna make a
film about this. You're famous.
You are one crazy guy.
Why did you become a detective?
I'm not doing for that kind of stuff,
and I'm just serving and
keep peace in the society
for the years to come.
Well, I would love to be a movie star.
But gotta find a job that pays, right?
Yep. If you want to get
married and raise a family.
I think I'll keep my job.
Good idea.
See you around, Kenji.
No, I want you to say to my face.
Was there another
assignment? Another number?
He treated you like a
brother. He trusted you!
Did you forget your honor? Your jingi?
You sit here high and mighty.
You're just a coward.
There is no honor in
deceit. You taught me that.
Captain speaking.
So you are telling me
someone from the Vietnamese
gang actually ratted.
He admitted it?
Has this been confirmed?
Are you sure?
Okay.
I'll send our best guy.
Tomorrow.
You have my word. He'll be there tomorrow.
Kenji, will the come into my office?
Sir?
Come in. And close the door.
Please.
Kenji, have a seat.
You've been doing a good job.
Thank you for your service to the state
and for keeping our people safe.
Thank you, Captain. I'm just
trying to protect and serve.
You've been with us for over 20 years
and the whole time
working on the same case,
which is why I'd like to give
you a raise, a promotion.
You deserve it.
Thank you, Captain.
I'm just doing my job.
I wish I could go back in
time and do what you did.
You see, I also grew up around the Yakuza,
but I chose to be a good citizen
to do what is right and what is honorable.
So, how have you been?
I mean, since the killing.
It's okay. Just another day on the job.
There's something I need to tell you.
Your assignment, it's not over yet.
Where now?
We need to send you to Los Angeles
to take down the remaining Yakuza
who still has control and operates there.
Just recently, the LAPD
busted a group of Vietnamese,
a Vietnamese gang with lots
of extasy and ketamine.
And someone from the
Vietnamese side ratted and said
they were getting their
supplies from a Yakuza
who runs Little Tokyo in downtown LA.
The LAPD has been doing
their own investigation
and they actually know who the heads are,
who's running those
huge deals of ketamine.
Captain, I was planning on
a vacation with my family.
How soon should I be there?
I need you to go
tomorrow, first flight out.
Okay. Sure.
Okay.
When you get to downtown LA,
I need you to check in
with Detective John.
He already has someone
working on the case.
The man leading the efforts
in Little Tokyo is named Hiro,
a small Japanese man.
He's a very rich businessman
who runs a lot of sushi
establishments in Los Angeles.
He also owns a ranch in
and several real estate
properties in Los Angeles
and Las Vegas.
Captain, I think I know the guy.
Make sure you do a good job.
Yes, sir.
Make us look good.
You can count on me. Thank you.
Kanpai.
I'm telling you, Kenji,
you're gonna be in Los Angeles already.
Hollywood is right there.
Not again, Kai.
You're really into that movie
and Hollywood stuff, huh?
You can make my dream come true.
Mr. Hollywood, huh?
Can you bring me a souvenir?
Sure. What do you want?
Um...
I don't know. What do you think?
Like one of those Golden Globe thingies.
An Oscar. An Oscar.
That, yes, Oscar. That's
what they're called.
An Oscar.
Kai, you should really, really try
that acting stuff or whatever.
Just quit the job.
I'm telling you. I want to.
But the opportunity is not there for me.
For you, it's right there.
You guys are crazy. It's not tour.
I'm doing my job. Okay?
You're a big shot now, so.
I'm sure you can have a little fun.
Who was that girl yesterday?
Yeah. You almost got your as kicked.
About that girl,
I used to teach her.
I taught her the way of the sword.
So you're sensei?
Since when did you start that?
Long time ago.
And she's the sister to Madageta,
the one I killed the other day.
I'm sorry.
She, and they crossed the line.
They shouldn't start the business
around the drugs in our city.
You are gonna be okay?
Yeah.
So please watch out for my
family, okay? While I'm gone.
Yeah, of course. Anything you want.
So, how's your crazy girlfriend?
Oh, we're onto me now, huh?
Kenji-san, Kai's dead.
The neighbors reported that
he got stabbed to death.
It looks like sword wounds.
Hello? Yes, I just arrived
at the airport right now.
Yeah. I'm heading toward the hotel.
Thank you so much. Yeah.
Yes. See you soon.
Bye.
Miss you, Dad.
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul.
He guides me in the past of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the
valley, the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for you are with me.
Your rod, your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with
oil. My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life.
And I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.
Chris, come here.
Meet Detective Kenji Kai from Japan.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
I've heard a lot about you.
This is Detective Chris Nico.
You guys go ahead and sit down.
Kenji Kai was able to take
down the Yakuza in Japan.
This was in J-town.
J-Town?
Yeah. Little Tokyo.
Okay.
We have a really serious situation here,
especially with ketamine and ecstasy.
The streets are run
rampant with it right now.
You know this, Chris.
I brought in Kenji Kai
because he has expertise
in taking down the gangs in Japan.
Yeah, we gotta work fast
because if you took out the boss
out in Japan, it's gonna stir
up the hornet's nest out here.
Yeah.
This is a bigger situation
than you can imagine.
Multiple families are dying right now.
There's ecstasy and ketamine everywhere.
Yeah, so, I mean, if you
need my resources or anything,
you know, I can definitely be
your eyes and ears around here.
- Yeah.
- More than welcome to,
you know, to ask me anything.
I'm counting on you.
Thank you.
Can I count on both of you guys?
Yeah, yeah, sure. Of course.
I'd do my best.
Your best? I
need you to handle this.
Sure. Okay.
I'll take care of it.
Yeah, we'll start cleaning up for you.
That's it. Keep me updated.
Okay.
Thanks for this opportunity.
Thank you.
Can I help you with anything?
Want a cookie?
Sure.
Yeah, my wife's got me on this diet,
so this is the only time I can eat.
What are you working on now?
I'm just looking over
some files right now.
You know, basically what
we're telling you in there,
that the Yakuza members
are kind of fighting
the local gangs in LA and,
I mean, we don't know.
It's probably just like a
power grab between the Italians
or Mexicans or someone, you know?
But I don't know.
We'll probably have to
hit the street eventually,
find out what's going on.
Can I explain?
Sure. Yeah.
You know, me and my team in Japan
had to take down this
leader of Yakuza family.
It's called Ikeda-gumi,
and then the head of the
boss, his name is Masa.
I took him down in a raid,
but some of them fled to Los Angeles here.
That's why I'm here.
That explains a lot then.
Well, guess we got our
work cut out for us.
Yeah.
Hey, look, my wife, she's in the DA,
Districts Attorney's office.
We don't hardly see each
other. No plans tonight.
You want to go get a
drink at the local bar?
Sure.
We see so many the other guys there too.
All right.
Thanks for the cookie, by the way.
You're welcome. Hey,
don't eat too many of those.
Hey.
Hey. How you doing, Chris?
Nice seeing you again, my friend.
Yeah.
Hey, Chris. How are you?
I'm good. I'm good.
You like Jack and Coke?
- Yeah, sure.
- Two Jack and Cokes.
Jack's coming up.
On me.
Oh, thank you.
This is Kenji's from Japan.
I'm Jay, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Welcome.
Thank you.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
We're on special assignment.
Oh, special assignment, huh?
Yeah.
Well be careful, huh?
Yeah.
Weren't you in Tokyo once?
I was. Actually, I love Tokyo.
It reminds me of New York, you know?
Yeah. People are polite too.
Yeah. One fascinating thing about Tokyo.
Everybody has an
umbrella. I mean everyone.
For the rain?
I think so. It's just
everybody has an umbrella.
You have to see it. It's amazing.
It just have an umbrella when it rains.
Everyone has an umbrella.
No one's going there.
You don't run in with it.
That's just one thing that
I remember about Tokyo.
Here's to umbrellas.
Okay.
You know, one other
thing I was thinking about,
the bullet train.
Oh yeah.
Quite an experience.
Quite an experience.
Yeah. Yeah.
So do you have a family in Japan?
Yeah, I have kids here.
Oh.
I miss them already.
I'm sure they miss you too.
Yeah.
Adorable. Wow.
Kids.
Looks like a nice vacation.
Yeah, it's Halloween.
Yeah. Wow.
You're dressed up like that.
That's so cute.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Nice outfit.
China dress.
- They look like a lot of fun.
- Yeah.
Well, I've been married
for about 15 years now.
My wife and I, zero kids.
Yeah. We just don't have time.
She works in the DA's office.
We just don't have time between my career
and, you know, hers.
You don't want any kids?
Nah. Too late.
Too late. Nah.
Married to our work.
Seems like you are a
really easygoing cop, huh?
- Yeah.
- Nice and kind.
Oh, thanks. You noticed.
Well, I just believe in what I do.
I mean, I'm here to protect and serve.
Or I just clean up the city.
But don't worry, don't worry.
Sometimes if I have to get tough,
I'll get tough when I
have to, unfortunately.
Just don't get tough on me. Okay?
I promise I won't.
No, this is helping, actually.
You're softening me up more.
This is very good.
So peaceful here.
Miko, do you love baseball?
You ask me this all the time.
You bring me here all the time
and I have no idea what's going on.
- Okay.
- But I know you love it.
Yes.
So what do you wanna be?
If I had a second chance at life,
I think could've wanted
to be a Nihon-buyo dancer.
You'd be a great dancer. Oh.
- I didn't know.
- Don't!
I'm sorry.
I didn't know my own strength this day.
Yeah. Save it for the baseball.
Yeah.
But I bought something today
because I saw in the store
and I think of you, I
think is very beautiful.
I hope you like it.
It's beautiful.
Want me to put it on for you?
Let's see.
- How do I look?
- Wow.
That look beautiful on you.
Thank you, Ani-san.
You're welcome.
I'll wear it for my recital next week.
Able to make it?
Sorry.
You know, I have a important
family business tonight.
They need my attention.
Fortunately, you know, I
don't have much choice.
I wish I can go to support you.
- Duty first, huh?
- Yeah.
Things not look, you know,
really good right now.
It's a lot of problem that we
have to face in this family.
- I understand.
- Yeah, you know?
I'm glad I got to spend
time with you today.
Yeah, I'm glad too that
we have this conversation
and this meeting.
Do things together again, you
know, in the future and stuff.
I like that.
Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah.
Hello?
Yeah. Okay.
Okay, I'm coming here.
Kenji. I got the call
early this morning.
The bar manager found the bar
open. Jeff's body right there.
I haven't seen anything like
this since I was in Tokyo.
Why would someone want
to kill him for you?
Does he have any connection
to any of Yakuza family?
I doubt it.
Let's go.
Well, it's a pleasure
to have Yakuza's finest
here in our establishment today.
Tell me, who do you work for?
I've been watching him
for a very long time.
We've been waiting for this date.
Bring you in, see what's
really going on in the streets.
Hmm? Are you gonna be
nice and help me out?
Are you?
Another thing, I need my
lawyer. I want to leave.
Lawyer? You want a lawyer?
You think someone from the
DA's gonna help you out?
I want some answers.
No, I know nothing. I wanna leave.
Kuy. Come on, let's go.
Chop, chop. Get up.
Come on.
Sir.
Come on, I can hold in there.
Coffee?
You don't speak too, huh?
You guys well trained.
Japanese.
There's innocent people
out there dying every day.
Tell me something. Help me out.
Come on, we're buds.
No, I said I know nothing.
Right now there's drugs moving
in, ecstasy,.
Who knows what else is around the corner?
Innocent people are dying
every day in our beloved city.
And you can just sit there?
You know why we brought you in here?
You are not gonna talk to me?
So you know nothing?
We've been watching you.
We've been watching you every move.
You're on to something. You're involved.
We know you are.
Your nickname Kuy, right?
You're from Chinatown.
What do you know about Ikeda-gumi?
You guys are close, right?
I want to know about the ecstasy trade.
Ecstasy trade?
Yeah.
You Japanese locals are
selling to the Vietnamese here
in southern California.
Being racist, are we? Yeah?
How do you know we do the trade?
Well, you got a little rat in your crew.
Yeah.
Mm-hm.
Have you seen a map of Asia?
I don't care about Asia.
Can you pinpoint where's Myanmar?
Myanmar? I don't care.
All I care is about getting these guys,
there's a war going on between the Yakuza
and the local Mexicans and Vietnamese.
Couldn't say Yakuza even
incorrectly, could you?
No.
Just a white guy from LA.
Hey.
Are you gonna help me out?
Or do you wanna go to jail?
Because I can tell you one thing.
You go on the inside,
you'll never survive.
You'll never survive.
You won't live in there.
So many people will be after you,
you're safer on the street.
I'm giving you an option.
You talk, or we're gonna do
things a little differently.
What do you wanna do?
I said I know nothing. I want to leave.
You're half Chinese-Japanese?
You speak Japanese?
He is not speaking.
So what do you want
from me? I mean, it's-
Who's your supplier?
What do you mean in terms of supplier?
Ecstasy.
What's ecstasy?
It's the raves drug.
All the stuff that's flood in the raves
in the Los Angeles rave scene.
Yeah? What is this?
Maybe I would... Maybe I'd
like to know what it is.
I'd like to know what it is, this ecstasy.
Maybe I could be excited. Right?
You'd be happy if-
I could be more excited than now, right?
Yeah, yeah. Euphoria, right?
One of you guys said they
were getting it from you.
They're getting boats loads.
Like from me or from my people or what?
You and your people like me.
Like me, so-
You're the one, you're the
business guy behind the scene.
You're pinpointing-
Define business.
Who are you, you're
asking me these questions?
Can I ask who you are?
Can I have your, can
you gimme your address?
What's your address?
What's your home address?
Lawyer!
Are you nuts?
You are wrapped up in something deep.
Something corrupt.
The law, you've pissed on it.
I need you to talk and talk now.
Who do you work for?
How much involvement do
you have with these people?
You're sitting there telling
me you don't know anything?
Are you Vietnamese?
Are you Vietnamese?
Do you know anything about Ikeda family?
Are you on drugs or are you selling drugs?
Around the corner, ABC restaurant?
The nice Chinese food?
You know that, right?
He could be high.
Yeah.
I'm just a normal guy.
Japanese, they don't speak.
If they speak.
No, he'll speak.
We got a special plan for you.
I'm Detective Stefan.
Stefan.
Stefan, yeah.
Is that Dutch or?
No, it's Italian.
Like you Dutch?
Well, Stefan.
Yeah. Yeah. You know,
maybe mixed with German.
Well, you Germans,
just add a little i and it becomes Italian
and then add a little o and becomes French
or whatever it goes.
Now we're playing the
equal race card. Okay.
So what do you want? What do you want?
Give up the guy that's
pressing the pills.
I really don't know
what you're talking about.
I'm not getting anything outta him.
- Coffee.
- Thanks.
Yeah. My favorite.
Hiro, huh?
Coffee? Sugar?
We've busted one of your
guys with a boat of pills?
You know what a boat of pills are?
No, I don't.
It's 1,000 pills. They call it a boat.
1,000?
1,000 pills.
What does that get you? A buck?
Two bucks, three bucks? What is it?
I mean, pills, you know, the cost.
- Yeah, probably.
- There's pills.
There's pills over. The
doctor gives you pills.
Well, they're legal drug dealers.
You know how it is for the
pharmaceutical industry?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
What are you gonna do?
You going to..?
I'm nobody. I'm no one.
Tell me what you know.
Give us what you know.
I'm no one that you
know and... You know?
We just brought you in to question you.
You're not being detained.
You're not arrested.
Good, 'cause I was gonna
ask you, am I detained?
If you're not detained-
Hiro,.
I'm not detained, right?
Yeah, you can-
Am I detained? I'm not detained.
So I can go, right?
You can go. You can tell me
go fuck myself if you want to.
- No-
- But we're gonna
come down on you.
Who is Hiro?
What's your number? Your patch number?
Don't worry about it.
Can I see it?
Don't worry about it. Talk
to my supervisor when you-
You're asking me questions
and so I want to know
what's your...
Gimme your date of birth, please.
No.
I have a right to know.
Who's Hiro?
I mean, who's Hiro?
I don't know, who is Hiram? I don't know.
- Who's that?
- You work for him.
But can't you gimme the-
You work for him.
Hiro, that's a Hiro?
Hiro. H-I-R-O.
It sounds very Jewish,
isn't it?
Dude's Japanese.
He's Japanese?
Oh, so it's Hiram.
So you can't even say your name.
You can't say his name.
You can't say your name.
Yeah, exactly.
You say Hirami. Hiromi.
I don't speak Japanese.
I don't speak Japanese.
Good. Okay.
You guys gonna have it hard for yourself.
You can't keep things right.
We'll take you guys down.
We'll take you guys down.
What does that mean? Who's the guys?
You and your whole crew.
You have no idea what you're
in, buddy. Yeah.
You have no idea.
We'll ship you back on a plane to Japan.
You won't come back here.
Your date of birthday, home address,
I'll tell you what you wanna know.
Which is nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing.
He doesn't speak.
Yeah.
I know this guy.
You do?
I'm not detained,
right? I'm not detained?
Take off.
You guys, go to hell.
I'm very cordial. I'm not
gonna say go ef yourself.
I'm saying go to hell.
It's even worse.
Huito, come pick me up.
Or send someone pick me up.
They interrogate me.
I didn't say anything.
I am hungry. Hurry up, pick me up.
These interrogation
transcripts are unbelievable.
These guys are giving us the runaround.
Crazy.
Hey, guys.
Kuy just got off the phone
when he was released.
So I need you guys to go tail him.
I just got interrogating
the crap outta this guy,
and I wasn't able to
get anything out of him.
- Okay.
- All right.
- All right.
- Cool.
Well, we know these two guys
have been hanging out here lately.
And they just went in there.
Figures.
Look, those two guys
just went into that bar.
This bar has been linked
to a lot of crime lately.
A lot of low lifes. Not just drunks.
We're talking the drugs
we've been talking about.
I think we stand a chance with these guys.
Yeah.
Well, we make a good team.
Getting further in.
Hiro, don't worry about it.
I didn't say anything.
Sensei.
, nice weather.
So what are we learning today, Sensei?
Today, Kenuichi, I will
teach you the way of the sword.
Are you ready?
Hai.
You're on.
Let's go.
How much longer, Sensei?
I will teach you one
thing about the sword,
way of the sword,
the first thing and the
last thing you remember.
If you focus on your own
sword or your movement
or even your training, you are not right.
If your mind is not right,
your swing won't be right.
If your heart is not right,
your sword won't be right.
What about using the
sword for a revenge?
If someone was taken away
from you, someone precious,
someone that you loved,
can the sword be used then?
If you think it's right
for what you believe in.
I don't know what's right anymore.
I know that people think that the Klan is
a bunch of gangsters that
do criminal activities.
But did you know that the
Yakuza back in the day
were considered to be a necessary evil
to deter people from doing
criminal activities individually.
You are protecting the community.
Look how the community's treating us now.
I don't know what my purpose,
my ikigai is anymore.
Like I said.
If you believe your heart is
right and your mind is right.
Maybe that is the way you take the sword
for what you believe in.
Any question?
Many.
Then, to be continued.
How's Kenji doing?
Oh, he's doing great.
I'm getting a lot of information from him
and showing him the sites
of downtown Los Angeles.
Well, I need you to catch these guys.
They just found another body
down by a car in Little Tokyo.
When did that happen?
Just recently.
I need you to go down to the morgue.
Sure thing. You got it.
I'll get down there right away.
Thanks.
Dr. Winters. I see it's lunchtime.
Detective, what brings you this way?
Lieutenant sent me down here. It's okay.
Sorry.
You need more
napkins in the morgue, I guess.
Oh yeah. All the time.
And I can't tell if it's
blood or if it's meat sauce.
So there you go.
It's hard to tell. You're right.
Well, this is where Joe
ended up,
and well, see it for yourself.
He was sliced by a sword.
By sword?
Yep. A very, very sharp sword.
And can you get any reports,
any additional information
for me like ASAP?
I'm gonna run the
toxicology report tomorrow.
Is that gonna be soon enough?
I can get it to you tomorrow night.
Sounds good.
Okay. We'll be in touch.
Okay.
Enjoy the rest of that sandwich.
I sure will. It's good.
Salud, buddy boy.
Salud.
So how has that sobriety
life treating you, by the way?
It'll be one year in July.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You're really committed
to this bitch, didn't you?
I did. I did.
I had to change some things in my life.
Huh? We all need change.
How's Linda feel about it?
Oh yeah, she is. Yeah.
I bet.
She says hi, by the way.
And you know, next time you're
around, we'll have dinner.
Please send her my best.
I will.
This case at work has
just been killing me.
Yeah?
Feel that we're getting close though.
We've been telling this guy Hiro.
I know he owns a lot of
businesses, probably gets cover,
but we're onto him.
I know him too well.
So, got anything new for us?
Well, as much as we want
to rip off Hiro's head.
Yeah.
I do have some stuff.
He's not your guy, believe it or not.
Really?
Your main focus right on these to be,
I don't have a name yet,
but he's taller than Hiro,
he's really scrawny.
Probably does a lot of
drugs. Who knows, you know?
Always wears a hat.
So think, I don't know,
baseball cap, fedora, beret.
Who knows?
And he has a thing for cats.
No joke. You get into that what you will.
That's all I got.
Hope you're not allergic.
No, not that I know of.
Thanks, Fedie. It helps
our department out a lot.
I'll start looking into this
first thing in the morning.
Don't worry, I'll have my team with me.
Hey, but make no mistake about it.
He's just as dangerous as Hiro.
You don't know what he's
capable of. Tread carefully.
Thanks.
I don't have to bury
another friend. You got me?
Oh, shit!
Remember me, Chris?
Let's fight like a man.
You got too far involved
now. Now I gotta kill you.
Let's fight like a man.
Come on.
It was nice knowing you.
Chris, how could you betray the family?
How could you betray us? How?
I didn't like the path I was going down.
I had to change my life for the better.
For you too.
Think you can come into my own
house and try to ambush me?
Just like what you did to my dad?
Not this time.
You ain't got the guts.
I'm sorry.
Yeah. This is Zach.
Okay.
Hiro needs to pick up.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
Yeah, I'll take him to the compound.
Chris, radio Kenji.
Kenji proceeded the other
side. We'll meet you there.
You guys ready to go?
Ready.
Yeah, I've been waiting
to catch these guys
for a long time.
Let's party.
Let's go.
Honey, I love you no
matter what happens.
LAPD, stand down!
Hello?
What? What do you mean
we've been attacked?
Who are you are? Are you at the front?
Alright, I'll be there.
Jesus.
Chris. Chris.
- Chris-
- He went that way!
You're all right. Stay with me.
You're okay,-
It's a beautiful-
Chris, stay with me.
It's a beautiful day.
Stay with me!
- It's a beautiful day.
- Chris!
Chris!
Stay with me.
Yeah.
Do you know what the
dance Harusame is about?
Hmm?
It's about a girl who stares
at wisteria tree, at a bird.
And she stares at it hoping
that she can be reunited with her lover
and be free like the bird.
Every time I dance it, I get lost in it,
and I feel free, I guess.
I was born into this life.
I don't have a choice.
What's your excuse?
How did you get into this business?
You talk too much. Women.
Are you saying that I talk too much?
Okay. Yes, I do.
But that's how I get to
find out about the world.
You know, about the world out there.
I only know what I do here with my family,
and with that comes obligations, duty.
You never say anything
about where you came from,
what you did before this.
I don't know anything about you, but...
Are you hiding anything?
You've being a good student.
There is one more thing
you have to overcome
as a sword man or sword girl.
You wanna be?
I trust your brother.
And like you have duty, I have mine too.
Not just for myself.
Like your clan. My clan and my community.
You said anything about loyalty?
Trust and loyalty.
That's our way.
Of course.
Father, please save this man.
My brother, my friend, Chris.
Heavenly Father, please.
I pray in the name of the Lord.
Chris!
I want you to get the son
of a bitch that did this.
I might have an idea
who I've done this to him.
Officer Kai, Chris was a good man
and I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
My apologies.
Domo.
Hey, new guy.
Look, this kind of thing
is not easy, trust me.
I've been through it before,
and Chris was a really
good friend of mine.
Not only that, we fought
crime in this crazy town
for about 15 years.
It's really hard to accept
that he's not here anymore.
But hey, I know that
sometimes it can be hard,
but it can help too, to
have someone to talk to.
So if you ever wanna vent
or just maybe get out
and have a cup of coffee
or, you know, go to that bar
that he loved, let me know.
Sure, thanks.
All right. Don't stay too late.
I'll see you around.
Hey, wait. You like sushi?
I love sushi.
I know a spot.
- Cheers.
- Kanpai.
It's good.
Yeah.
This place is great.
- Yeah.
- Good choice.
It's a nice restaurant.
Have you been here much?
Yeah, a couple times.
My friends own the fish company
and it's kind of a
friends', you know, friends.
Nice. Makes it even better.
Yeah.
So I noticed the ring on your finger.
Yeah, I'm married. I have kids in Tokyo.
Wow. You're lucky.
Yeah, maybe I'm lucky enough.
You are lucky.
I don't really have kids
or much of a family.
I don't talk to them much.
They're all spread out all
over the country it seems.
You don't wanna have kids.
Maybe someday.
I think I just have to
find the right person.
I'm working too much.
Doesn't really allow for kids, you know?
Mm, this is good. I'm
glad I let you order.
I can't believe Chris is gone.
Yeah.
I kind of just try to distract myself
from the reality, you know?
I've lost a partner before,
but I only worked with
them for a little bit,
and Chris was like 15 years.
It's been rough, I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah, he was the best.
He really was a good man.
And you know, he always made me laugh.
Something could be terribly wrong
and he would find a way to make me smile.
Do you have any funny memories with him?
Oh yeah. The bar he took me.
The bar.
Yeah, we had some times there for sure.
He always would just
ask me how I was doing
and, you know, like genuinely check in.
And it was really nice to
have somebody to lean on.
I always felt like I could
go to him with my problems.
Hmm.
Now he is not here.
We have each other.
Just like I said earlier,
if you need anybody,
if you feel like you
need someone to talk to
or wanna go have sushi or
have a drink at that bar,
we can do it.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
We gotta stick together.
To Chris.
To Chris.
Well, thanks for dinner.
You are welcome.
And for walking me to
my car. It's really nice.
Domo arigatou gozaimasu.
Oh cool. What'd you just say?
Thank you very much.
I like that. Well, thank you.
You have a good night, all right?
I'll see you at work tomorrow.
- Night.
- Yeah.
You lost that right
when you killed Basan.
I gave everything to the Ikedagumi.
You stole the one thing
that made me human.
You said revenge makes monsters.
Today, I'm gonna become the
monster I was born to be.
Chris, my buddy, my friend.
I miss you.
I miss you.
And thank you.
Hiro, I think coming
to Japan was a bad idea.
I think they finally caught us.
Is this what you want?
Well, what we gonna do?
What is the plan?
You could do something.
You could be honorable, right?
What are you looking at?
Say something. Something.
Are you serious?
Yes, I'm serious.
I thought you guys knew
these things all the time.
You're supposed to be the smart ones.
Not me. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I'm just following.
He doesn't say anything
and he could say something.
I'm in.
That was easy to say.
Yeah. I don't want this.
You gimme all this riddle,
and then you say you are in.
I don't wanna be in here.
- I wanna go.
- We got this.
We got this, so we don't have it.
I wanna go.
But are you in or are you in or out?
This is your last chance. Your last-
Are you serious?
What about you?
You can't do this.
That was easy to say.
Yeah.
Bring it up like a conductor. Yes or no?
I don't wanna be in this.
You give all this riddling,
then you say you are in.
I don't wanna be in here.
Bring it up like a conductor. Yes or no?
Are you in? Louder!
- Yes.
- Louder!
Are you in?
Yes, yes, yes.
- Yes.
- Jump up.
Come on, jump, jump, jump!
Go, go! Raise your hand in the air.
Yes, yes,
Yes, yes.
Remember me?
Taking you back to LA.
You'll never see Japan again.
Let alone see daylight.
