Shenmue the Animation (2022) s01e10 Episode Script
Comeback
Good morning, Father.
You're up quite early today.
Off to the stone quarry?
Yeah.
I'll make breakfast right away.
No, that's okay.
Huh?
Listen closely.
This next job is a very
important one I must see through.
I won't be returning for some time.
Okay. I'll bring you your
food when it's ready, then.
Man Mo Temple
Wong.
Ren's waiting for you. Come with me.
About time.
You can go.
Later Ryo, I'll be around if you need me.
Okay.
All right.
Let's say you actually find Yuanda Zhu.
You think that he's got
time for a chump like you?
The guy's practically a
legend in the underworld.
Not a problem. I have a letter.
This your old man?
You said you were looking for his killer.
So if I hook you up with
Yuanda Zhu, what's next?
That's none of your business.
Not so fast. I haven't forgotten
about that weird mirror.
You've got "big score"
written all over you.
Follow me.
There's this guy I know of,
Yang, who worked for Yuanda.
Let's try him.
Kowloon
I hope you hoodlums aren't
here looking for trouble.
Because that's the last thing I need.
I would like to meet with Yuanda Zhu.
And why should I trust you?
To Iwao Hazuki-sensei
I will arrange a meeting for you.
Find the man in black at
the location I give you.
Then tell him this password.
What do you want?
"Dragons don't sleep."
Keep walking to the door with
the dragon. Enter there.
Understood.
What's wrong?
That guy in black just now
Looked to me like he signaled another guy.
Got a bad feeling about this.
All we can do is press on.
I'll stay and keep watch here.
Okay.
Hello, are you Yuanda Zhu?
Yuanda Zhu ain't as handsome as me.
We meet again.
It's you what's this all about?!
You're not the only one
looking for Yuanda Zhu, see.
Boss, this is the guy.
The one who gave us trouble
in the Golden Quarter.
Oh yeah?
I'm gonna make you regret sticking your
nose into the Yellow Heads' business!
What the?!
You're the one who needs to mind
his own business, Dou Niu!
Ren
I never thought that you'd
be a part of all this.
Right back at you!
Guess I'll just give you both a beatdown!
What was that? Did a mosquito prick me?
That sucked
Hey!
Get up!
This kid knows something,
yeah? Then lock 'em up!
Yessir.
Have a nice nap?
Where are we?
Beats me. The lair of the
Yellow Heads or somethin'.
The Yellow Heads?
It's a sprawling criminal organization
led by that monster, Dou Niu.
Back in the day, there was
a huge group called the
White Thai that controlled all
of the casinos in Hong Kong.
The Yellow Heads were just a pack
of bodyguards who served 'em.
But 10 years ago, they arranged it
so the head family lost power
and then rose to the top of
the food chain in Hong Kong.
Ever since then, they call
the shots for the whole town.
Why the hell didn't you
tell me they were involved!
Seriously? I never asked for
your help in the first place.
Stop complaining and think
of a way out of here.
You must be tripping if you think
you can order me around!
Fine then. I guess we'll
just be stuck like this.
Hey!
C'mon!
What's the problem?
The kid's about to kick the bucket.
For real?
I ain't kidding.
Oh shit!
Damn it! No keys for the cuffs!
What's that noise?
Something happen?
The jig is up, let's jet!
This way!
Quit telling me what to do! This way!
Okay.
We'll lay low here for a bit.
Sounds good. We should rest up.
I said, don't tell me what to do!
Crap. How'd I get into this mess?
You're the one who wanted to come.
Yeah, 'cept I didn't know the
Yellow Heads were involved.
Do you have any idea how tough it
is to be on their bad side?
Not really.
God, you're such an amateur
Are you telling me there's no safer way
to reach the guy who killed your old man?
Enlighten me. Who in the hell
is it that you're after?
His name is Lan Di.
Lan Di
Of the Chi You Men?!
You know him?
The Chi You Men are a totally different
league of terrifying from the Yellow Heads.
Lan Di is one of their big shots.
And so, what of Yuanda Zhu?
Nothing yet, sir
B-but we did wrangle up some guys
who are looking for him.
It's a safe bet they might know
a thing or two about Yuanda.
Nobody cares about Ren
or that Japanese kid!
My apologies.
Japanese kid?
We'll definitely find Yuanda
Zhu and get him to you.
S-so, moving forward
if we prove our worth and
the Chi You Men see fit to bring the
Yellow Heads into their affiliation,
then the mighty Dou Niu
can rule over Hong Kong!
I'll allow it.
Forgive the interruption.
A member of the Yellow Heads
has an urgent message.
Boss!
That bastard Ren escaped.
Well, look who's here.
I'll slice you both to ribbons!
Oh no
Dou Dou Niu!
How dare you hurt my cute little Yuan!
I'm gonna tear you limb from limb!
We're not doing this now!
Emergency stairs! We're in luck!
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!
You're dead meat!
We have to jump to the next building!
You're dead meat!
We have to jump to the next building!
Have you lost your damn mind?!
Get a running start!
You really are out of your mind!
Go, now!
Can't catch me that
easily, you big meathead!
You'll never get away!
You're good to go.
Nobody picks a lock better than Wong here.
Color me surprised, you two
are getting on like brothers.
Brothers?
Yeah right, he roped me into a real mess.
This nutjob is serious about
taking on the Yellow Heads.
The Yellow Heads?!
What's wrong?
Nothing. Just astounded
by the level of stupidity.
Anyways
We can talk this over later.
Yang, you asshole, you set us up!
D-Dou Niu forced me into
it, he has me by the balls!
That doesn't mean you're
getting off the hook!
Hey, hold up.
Huh?
Tell us the truth this
time. Where is Yuanda Zhu?
I I don't know!
I swear!
T-try Huang's place, you might
be able to find a lead there.
Huang? You mean Huang the wiretapper?
Yes
Someone you know?
More or less.
Then please tell me.
Where can I find him?
Here we go again. Come on.
Seems that Huang ain't in right now.
Should be tapes somewhere.
Jackpot.
I'm afraid to ask what your plan is.
There has to be a clue in here somewhere.
You're gonna go through all of them?
Yep.
You do you.
But I'm about at my limit.
Ren
Don't get any funny ideas.
Like I said before, I'm getting
a "big score" feeling off you.
I won't give up, Xiuying.
I swear I'm going to track down
whoever killed mom and dad!
Track them down? But how?!
The Chi You Men will know.
I will get revenge, even
if I have to sell my soul!
They will pay dearly!
Still nothing, after going through so many?
You're seriously barking
up the wrong tree, buddy.
I just found a new toy.
Snagged me one of Yuanda Zhu's flunkeys.
A man by the name of Shuqin Zhang.
Snagged! Snagged!
Great, so where is Yuanda Zhu?
I'll make him cough it up.
That's Yuan and Dou Niu.
Cough it up! Cough it up!
Cough it up! Cough it up!
Cough it up! Cough it up!
They got Shuqin
I guess he couldn't get away after
they found him the first time.
Fine. You can handle it, but make it quick.
Fine. You can handle it, but make it quick.
The Chi You Men don't
like to be kept waiting.
Hold on.
Did you even hear what they just said?
If you keep looking for Yuanda Zhu,
you'll be going against both the Yellow
Heads and a giant Chinese cartel!
So what?
The only thing that I'm out to do is uncover
the truth behind my father's murder.
It doesn't matter who
or what gets in my way.
Whether back in Japan or here in Hong Kong.
I'll go to the ends of
the Earth if I have to.
I told you to hold on.
Do you even know where to
look for the Yellow Heads?
No.
Learn to use your head, man.
Did you hear that bird
squawking in the recording?
That's your clue.
Yes. He's a customer here.
Dresses in flashy clothes,
and wears earrings.
That's Yuan! No doubt!
Does he come by often?
Yes.
Everyday for bird feed. And it's the
finest stuff we have available.
Ren
Why are you helping me so much?
Good question.
To cut a deal, I guess.
I'm positive that when you dig
up that truth you're after,
some serious treasure is
gonna come along with it.
How do you figure?
First the Yellow Heads,
and now the Chi You Men.
These guys don't bring out their
big guns just for nothing.
There's gotta be some
real money on the line.
That doesn't matter to me.
And that's why I wanna cut a deal.
I'll help you however I can.
But when we eventually hit the
jackpot, I keep my fair share.
Sound good?
I can't give any guarantees.
Look!
There he is.
Wait.
We need to stay out of
sight until we figure out
where he's holding Yuanda Zhu's guy.
Let's stalk him.
Okay.
Yuck! Some people!
He's a straight up neat freak
I'm back, sweetie!
I'm back! I'm back!
Who could it be?
I was just about to have some fun
Wow! That was solid.
Stop thief! Stop thief!
Put a lid on it!
You wanna be fried chicken?
Fried chicken! Fried chicken!
I'll stand guard. You find the guy.
Shuqin!
Hey! Hang in there!
It's you
Big trouble! Dou Niu is here!
We'll come back for him later!
Act like you're out cold.
Right.
Hide in the closet!
What the hell happened here?!
Hide in the closet!
Hide in the closet! Hide in the closet!
Hide in the closet! Hide in the closet!
Dipshits.
Got you now!
Hurry! Come with us!
How do you like us now, stupid Dou Niu!
Let me out! Let me out!
Let me out! Let me out!
Stupid Dou Niu! Stupid Dou Niu!
Are you okay?
Yes.
I was able to make contact.
Zhu is currently in the
Ghost Hall Building.
Then we've got no time to lose.
I'll have Sam and the gang shelter
this guy in our hideout.
Okay.
Take these.
Please keep Zhu safe.
You must be
Yuanda Zhu.
And you are?
I am
Most excellent.
Thanks for doing all the hard work
of finding Yuanda Zhu for us, boys!
We've finally found you, old codger!
Not good! Time to scram!
Damn rats
You're not going anywhere!
Little shit. You've
wasted enough of my time!
Now you're gonna pay the price for it!
Xiuying?!
Huh? Who's this?
Entangled
Next time: "Entangled."
You're up quite early today.
