Banana Fish (2018) s01e02 Episode Script

In Another Country

1
Let go!
Asian, 19 years old.
Name, Eiji Okumura.
Send out squads to find him.
I'm sorry, Ibe.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
Don't die on me, Ei-chan.
Round up some guys and find Arthur.
Go!
I know you're here, Arthur.
Show yourself.
Wassup, Boss.
You know it's a trap, right?
Why did you come?
I knew I'd have to settle it with you
sooner or later.
Where's Skip?
I hate to break it to you,
but it's not just about us anymore.
Ash!
Welcome, Ash Lynx.
So that's what's up.
That's low even for you,
being tamed like the old man's dog.
You're always too soft.
Drop the gun.
Don't, they'll kill you!
Let them go.
Ash.
Who's this boy?
I heard Skip stood up for him.
Keep your hands off Ei-chan!
-Kill him.
-Huh?
Hold it.
You and your ways disgust me.
What an admirable boss,
looking out for his boys.
It's time to pay you back for my fingers.
Words of fear slip out like anger
in spite of how I truly felt inside
Maybe all I wanted was to not be alone,
with you by my side
These train of thoughts linger
as darkness falls in time
In too deep inside these streets aligned
It makes me wonder
how I even got myself here
in the first place?
To find it, and lose it
Get lost in this moment
Fate somehow brings me hope
inside my heart
Anger, happiness, and sadness
won't mean a thing when
Fate somehow brings me hope
inside my heart
Inside my heart
Inside my heart
Damn it
Be a good boy, now.
You know it's no use
disobeying Papa Dino.
What did that man give you?
I don't know what you're after,
but if you want him to talk,
cut off their ears.
He's made a fool of me all this time.
Let me enjoy this a little bit.
Oh my, oh my.
Is somebody getting a little horny?
Don't you cry now.
Ash!
Ash!
Are you okay?
Damn it, don't touch me.
That hurt.
Give me your arm.
What?
We need to stop the bleeding.
Thanks for saving my life.
You might wish I didn't.
It doesn't seem like
they'll let us die so easily now.
How are you feeling, Ash?
What are you going to do?
It all depends on you.
If you're a good boy,
I could put in a good word to Papa.
I want to talk to you in private.
Sure.
You guys get out.
You're not going to let him go
Who do you think you're talking to?
Papa Dino put me in charge here.
You back-stabber!
You can have your fun
but don't forget your job.
I know, I know. Get lost.
He's gay. He likes Ash.
So, what now?
Not in front of them.
Take me somewhere we can be alone.
-No way
-Be quiet!
My ribs are broken. Could you help me up?
My poor baby.
I'll take good care of you afterwards.
I'll be counting on that.
You did it Boss, I knew you would!
Let's get out of here.
How does he do it?
They're getting away!
Which way?
That way!
Get 'em!
A dead-end?
Damn it, we came this far.
I'll hand it over and free these two.
Wow, I didn't know
you had the guts, Ei-chan!
I'm really liking you.
-I'll put up a fight too, and
-That's not it.
I'm going to jump over.
Are you out of your mind?
I've jumped higher walls in Japan.
I'm a pole-vaulter.
Are you crazy?
If that rotten pipe breaks, you're dead.
Yeah, there aren't any mats either.
Then are we just going to die here?
If I'm gonna die anyways,
at least I'll die trying.
There they are, this way!
Don't break on me.
He flew!
I knew it.
Ow
Hang in there, I'll be back!
Where'd you hide that punk?
He flew.
Just like a bird.
Shut your mouth!
You're done now, I'm going to kill you.
How are you going to clean this mess up?
Yeah, this wouldn't have happened
if you weren't perverted.
We gotta relocate.
I'll take care of them there.
The wharf. On East River
Good boy.
I must hurry and let them know
Hurry
I know, can you believe it?
Can I use that?
People are about to be killed!
Murderer! Someone, police!
Yeah, go get the cops for me.
Hello, City Police Headquarters please.
Please hurry
City Police Headquarters.
How may I help you?
Over there!
Hello?
Hey, you.
Hey, you okay?
Charlie, Ibe. This way.
They just finished dressing him.
Room 208.
Thank you.
Charlie.
Eiji said there's going to be trouble
at East River Wharf.
Is it Ash?
Yeah, and what's more interesting is this.
Seems like Marvin Crosby
is taking part in it, too.
Dino Golzine's guy?
What the heck did Ash do?
And I looked into
those serial suicide cases.
They were all guys associated with
syndicates that are at war with Golzine.
I'm glad you were safe.
Sorry for making you worry.
But to be honest,
I want to go back there right now.
Ash saved my life
by putting his own in danger.
Skip too, he could've gotten away
if it weren't for me.
I feel so bad.
I only got in their way.
I couldn't do anything.
That's not true.
Thanks to you, we know where they are.
The cops will save them, trust me.
Okay, let's go for a ride now.
Skip has nothing to do with this.
-Let him go.
-Ash!
Not so fast.
It doesn't seem like
you want to join the party.
We'll have the little brat
dance for us instead.
No!
-Take him.
-Damn it!
Let go of me. Skip!
Get your hands off me
Where are you Arthur, you back-stabber!
Ash, Skip, where are you?
Shorter.
It's bedtime, you punks
Watch out, Dino's guys are here!
You little brats.
That was Ash's voice.
He's right there.
Shit, the cops.
Damn it, the Asian rat squealed.
I'll get you for this.
I wasn't going to let you die so easily.
Ash!
Skipper Skipper!
Skipper, no, don't die.
No, you can't. Don't die
Marvin.
That's it.
You're dead, Marvin!
Out of my way!
No Ash, don't
Ash!
Shorter!
Where's Ash?
What took you so damn long?
He went after them!
What?
Damn it.
Why is this happening?
I see. If he's going to be so stubborn,
it can't be helped.
I'll take care of it.
I see you can't tame a lynx.
They'll never make good pets.
He's in here somewhere.
It's open.
Something doesn't seem right.
Shit.
Freeze, police!
Ow, that hurts, damn it.
-Don't move.
-Listen to me!
Ash.
Did you?
I didn't kill him.
He was dead when I got here.
Don't lie.
Evanstine.
Hello, Jenkins.
So devoted to your work,
you leave your jurisdiction, huh?
Actually, he's involved in a case
we're working on now.
But this is my territory here.
Plus, he's a red-handed murderer.
Take him away.
I'm telling you, I didn't do it!
-Get moving.
-Damn it, let go of me.
Wait.
Can we at least sit in
for the cross-examination?
I remember you very well, Ash.
Hope you're not hustling anymore.
Keeping silent, huh?
How about this?
We found something interesting
in the swine's room.
There were a few videos, too.
Stop!
Something wrong?
See for yourself.
The swine had quite a nasty taste.
What's this?
Child pornography.
And the kinky kind, too.
Watch. The movie is starting.
I'm going to puke.
Stop, that's enough.
That's you, isn't it Ash?
How old were you then? 10? 11?
A little bit older?
That fat ass is Marvin, right?
That's why you killed him.
You had grudge with him.
You wanted to kill him.
Am I wrong?
Answer me!
Lieutenant, the hospital is ready.
Fine. Take him away.
Get up.
Later, movie star.
Ash!
You bore it well
Don't touch me!
Keep your filthy hands off me.
The lynx is in its cage,
just like you requested.
Yeah, thanks.
You can't live on a policeman's pension.
Call Judge Phillips of the District Court.
Yes, sir.
So?
The only perfect sample we had
was the few milligrams that were stolen.
Even with formula, we can't
And who lost it?
Forget it. It will be returned in time.
Banana Fish, huh.
You're being quite a handful.
I totally get it.
Skip was just a kid.
A couple of people who know Golzine
have committed suicides this year.
We want to catch him for sure this time.
This has to do with him, right?
You might have a knife under his nose
without even knowing it.
Are you listening, Ash?
I know nothing.
I don't care about your game of tag.
I didn't kill Marvin,
but if somebody else hadn't, I would have.
What can you guys do anyway?
How do you plan to indict Dino?
D-Depends on what you tell us.
As if it'll be of any use.
He has a team of bigshot lawyers.
Your high and mighty "rights"
are nothing against him.
Even a stupid-ass punk like me knows that.
Lock me up for murder if you want.
I'm just another
worthless hoodlum anyways.
Leave me alone.
We're pulling out for now
after what happened.
It's too bad, but we'll head back tonight
after we go meet Max in prison.
And what did you want to see me about?
Yeah, about that.
Is it about Ash?
He's planning to fight a mafia don
with just one trump card.
He's going to be killed for sure.
Eiji, I need you to convince Ash
to give us his "trump card."
What is this "trump card"?
I'm not sure, but Golzine is
persistently chasing after Ash.
He must have something serious.
But why me?
I have no power.
Because he saved you.
He tried to save you even if it meant
risking his and Skip's life.
He might lend an ear to what you say.
Hey.
How are you feeling?
Look who's asking.
There weren't any mats, huh?
Nah, but it's not such a big deal.
That was quite a jump.
I didn't know you had such a talent.
But I didn't even get to thank Skip.
Hey, Ash
Um Uh
Charlie sent you here, right?
What? Um, well
You're a lousy liar.
Did you hear about my past from him?
W-What past?
I guess such nasty things
don't happen in Japan.
I really don't know.
I envy you.
You know how to fly.
Ei-chan! What's wrong?
I-I can't ask him
What did Ash say?
Could you give him a second?
Let him calm down.
Yes.
Bad news.
Ash is being transferred
to the State Prison.
But his arraignment hasn't
even been submitted yet.
District Judge's decision.
The defendant was absent
but it's already been finalized.
But
Ash has already made up his mind.
I couldn't bring myself to tell him
to leave it to someone else.
He knows better than anybody
that he's no match for them.
I understand. Don't cry now.
We'll see it through to the end.
He won't be alone.
If he's sent to prison,
he'll be killed for sure.
It's swarming with Golzine's men.
Charlie, go see Max Lobo now.
Lucky for us, he's locked up there now.
Have him guard Ash.
Ibe!
I'm coming with you to see Max.
-I'll explain later.
-What?
Come on!
Here's your target.
A hot little princess, eh?
It's looking up to be a fun night.
Hey there cutie, how old are you?
