Banana Fish (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Shut up. Why do you keep singing
the same phrase?
Sorry, I don't know the rest.
A bit cranky, eh?
When was the last time you came home?
Seeing you pout like that
reminds me you're just a kid.
What did you say?!
Which way next?
The right!
Shut up, damn it.
Get up.
I said, get up.
Wake your lazy asses up.
My lazy ass hurts.
We're here. Get out of the truck.
What a nice place.
It's hard to believe
this is just 500 km from New York.
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
You
How have you been, Jennifer?
Aslan You're Ash.
Jim, hurry, come over here!
What are you screaming about?
Hey.
What makes you think that
you can come back here, you whore.
Give me the keys to the house,
and I'll leave.
I'm just here for Griff's stuff.
And who are you guys?
Us? We're just
-Friends.
-Friends, huh?
So what, you seduced them?
What's that supposed to mean?
Drop it, old man. Just give me the keys.
Get out as soon as you're done.
Hey, you.
What's up with all that crap?
-Is that how you talk to your son?
-Hey!
Who are they, your man-whores?
You can sleep with my son if you want,
but you better pay up.
What did you say? Take that back!
Stop it!
-How can you insult your son like that!
-Max!
Forget it, old man. That's just how he is.
Let's go.
Just one thing.
Griffin's dead.
Not that you'd care.
Wait, Ash!
Jim, why did you say that?
Shut up, it's none of your business.
That's where Griff and I were born.
He and I have different mothers.
My mother drove his mother out,
but the bitch left with a different guy
once I was born.
Then Dad began to live with Jennifer
over at the diner.
So Griff and I lived alone here.
Ash.
The electricity is cut off here.
I brought some food, too.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Hey, about Jim
He's actually happy that you're home.
You're so nice.
I don't get why such a nice person
like you stays with him.
Please, don't say that.
Yeah, sorry.
Come to the diner tomorrow morning.
I'll have breakfast ready.
Why are you looking so sad?
You're the one who brought me here.
Stop acting like
you didn't want to see all that.
Sorry.
Nice house.
Eiji, get some candles
from the drawer behind you.
It's just a rat, damn it.
Don't scare me like that.
Sorry.
Here's a bundle of letters.
The only one who wrote letters here
was Griff.
Anything else of his?
Probably in his room.
Look.
It's him.
Found something?
He's the man who shot Ash's brother.
-You're positive?
-Yeah.
This is the unit Griff was in
before we met.
The dog tag is different.
Where's the list of names?
Here it is.
Abraham Dawson.
He lives in Los Angeles, California.
"102, 42 Westwood."
That's the address Steven Thompson said
before he died.
Yeah.
There's nothing on him on the net.
I guess we'll have to go there
and find out.
Plus, Golzine doesn't have any men
in the west.
Los Angeles, huh? Damn, that's far.
Don't look at me like that.
I won't back out now.
It's too risky to go back
to Manhattan anyways.
I wish we could leave tomorrow,
but the truck needs fixing
and you all need rest.
I'm sure Golzine won't find us here
that quickly.
I want to leave now.
I want to pin that man down
and corner old Dino.
Come on, some of us here
are old, you know?
Your shoulder hasn't healed yet, either.
That's why I hate old guys.
If you can't keep up, don't come.
Where are you going?
To get blankets from the truck.
You two old geezers use the bed.
Help me out, Eiji.
"Old geezers", huh.
That little punk.
You think Golzine's men will come here?
If they do, we're done for.
It's a nice place.
There's nothing here.
Plus, it's always windy.
You hate it here?
I don't have feelings towards it.
Oh, wow.
-Did I wake you?
-No.
I just woke up anyways.
I'm rusty. I just missed a bottle.
But it's so far!
How's your shoulder?
Are you sure you should do that?
It's just a scratch.
Wow, you're tough.
Wanna try?
You can shoot it if you want.
Can I?
Come on, put your back into it.
Hold the grip tighter.
It's loaded with a magnum cartridge.
You'll hurt your wrist like that.
Don't worry about wind resistance
at this distance.
Pull the trigger lightly.
Aim well, and
Ugh, great shot.
Hey.
Ibe-san. Ash was letting me shoot his gun.
Yeah, I saw.
Breakfast is ready. Go wake Shorter up.
Okay.
What?
You don't like me
letting him shoot a gun, huh?
That's not it. It's just
You and him are too different.
Your backgrounds, too.
I guess you have your reasons,
but you treat him too much like a baby.
That's why he still can't protect himself
at that age.
In our country, we don't carry guns
to protect ourselves.
Too bad this isn't Japan.
Try telling them that when
someone has a gun to your head.
It seems like we'll have to put in
a new battery.
This baby won't last until Los Angeles.
Right
Why the sad face?
Got scratched by the lynx?
Bingo.
He said I baby Ei-chan too much.
Eiji's already 19, right? Ash has a point.
Why'd you bring Eiji with you anyways?
I had to rescue him.
He was actually a pole jumper
with great talent.
But after this injury,
he has never been the same.
He'd gotten a scholarship with it,
so he began to hold himself back.
He's forgotten how to jump.
A canary that can't sing, huh.
That's why I brought him with me.
I want to see him jump again.
I'd do anything for him
to make that happen.
But why?
His picture was the one
that gave me a break as a photographer.
So I guess it's to repay him.
I don't think so.
I'm sure you know that, too.
You just want to be him.
Yeah, maybe.
No, you're probably right.
It's the "Amadeus Syndrome."
You love him so much, you hate him.
Your little "Amadeus."
Stop it, I'm serious.
Once we get to L.A.,
we're going back to Japan.
I guess it can't be helped.
But is that really what's best for Eiji?
It's the only way to keep him safe.
I can't risk his safety anymore.
That's not what I meant.
You know what I mean.
Thanks for the coffee.
Why did you come back here
after all this time?
You shouldn't be here. You know that.
I'll leave once the truck is fixed.
Ash
Finally, we found a battery that fits.
Can't you be nicer to him?
Ei-chan?
How can you say he shouldn't be here?
You're his father.
What's with this punk kid?
He's Ash's buddy.
Why do you want to get rid of him?
He's your son. Don't you love him?
And who are you?
Why are you sticking around him?
I served in Iraq with Griffin.
We were friends.
You guys want a drink?
When he was 7, an army veteran
lived past the hills.
It seems like he'd achieved a lot
while in Afghanistan.
He coached the boys' baseball team.
The kids around here loved him.
Ash was on that team, too. But one day
He came home, clothes torn and bruised.
I immediately knew what happened.
-And the cops?
-Of course we went.
I dragged him there.
And what do you think they said?
"Are you sure it was him?"
The town loved him, you know.
They even suspected Ash of seducing him.
He was just a kid, only 7 years old.
Ash listened to our conversation
with his eyes wide open.
So I told him,
that if some asshole tries the same thing,
just shut up and let him.
But make him pay up for it.
The man kept forcing him to his house
now and then.
But when Ash was 8
he shot the man.
He took my gun.
The cops investigated his house
and found kids' bones in the basement.
Never heard of it?
"The Bluebeard of Cape Cod."
Yeah, I've heard of it.
He was paying Ash,
so he must've let his guard down.
The case being as it was,
Ash wasn't found guilty of anything.
But it's a small rural town.
People talk, you know.
So I tried to send him
to my little sister's place.
But he ran away.
I've known Ash for a long time,
but I never knew.
You can't blame him for not being able
to trust anybody.
But even after all that,
he still isn't broken.
Ash is strong.
Why are you being so stubborn?
You must love Ash.
Stay out of it!
Good evening.
We're already closing.
Come on, just one drink.
Ash still isn't back.
This is his home. Don't worry.
I'm going out to check.
Hey!
I'm coming with you.
Damn, it's cold.
The nights are freezing
out here around Boston.
I wonder where Ash is.
-Ash.
-Hey, Ash!
Ash?
They said they were closing.
Maybe Ash is down there.
They're family, after all.
Oh, hey. Look.
-Ash
-Wait, don't!
Gunshots, down by the diner.
Don't move, Eiji.
What's going on?
What else? Golzine's guys found us.
You hear us, Ash Lynx?
Throw your gun away and come out
if you want them alive.
Damn it.
The woman goes first.
You wanna see her brains busted?
Stop, don't touch them.
Let them go!
You're not the one
giving orders around here.
Come in with hands behind your head.
Bastards.
What do we do now?
Shunichi, I've got a plan.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Fine, I'll do what you said, damn it.
Go to hell.
Aren't you glad
you have such a loving son?
Go.
Ash
Sorry for dragging you into this.
You're such a fool.
You really thought
you could beat Papa Dino?
Never mind.
The order was to catch you alive.
Freeze, cops!
Stay here!
You punk.
Jennifer!
Run, Ash.
Dad!
Dad
Don't look. You won't be able to take it.
Ei-chan!
Are you okay?
Y-Yes.
Is she?
Dead.
No
She was such a fine girl.
All the good ones die first.
Jim, are you okay?
Don't worry, he's a friend.
Howard, come in here.
I heard gunshots.
What happened?
Some burglars.
But Jennifer
-Jennifer!
-Call an ambulance.
-And the cops.
-Got it!
Give me that gun.
Your fingerprints are gone now.
You too. Put the knife in Jennifer's hand.
Now hurry up and leave.
I'll take it from here.
Don't move. You'll bleed even more.
You're fighting a mafia don, huh?
I'm impressed.
Tell me just one thing.
Was it one of them that killed Griffin?
Yeah.
Okay. I understand.
I don't know what your plans are,
but you have my blessing.
Dad.
Don't waste your time here, go!
Let's go, Ash.
Ash!
Damn you, acting like a hot shot.
Don't you die, you dumb father!
Same to you, my stupid son.
-Ash!
-Hurry!
Damn it. Damn it!
Step on it, old man!
Gotcha.
Damn you!
Thank you for joining me tonight.
I hope to clear the misunderstanding
that seems to be between us.
Mr. Lee.
Misunderstanding, you say?
About Ash Lynx and what he stole from me.
Banana Fish, is it?
So you know as much.
It's a poison, made for assassinations.
In other words, the drug won't jeopardize
your business.
So you want me to "look away"?
I'd like your help.
Concerning this case,
we are willing to relinquish to you
a part of Europe's heroin market
starting next year.
What do you think?
But why go through so much
just to catch a single boy?
Ash has some friends with him.
Among them are 2 journalists.
We will go through any means
to keep any information from being leaked.
I see where the misunderstanding was.
I will assist you in however way possible.
Where are they now?
They're heading to Los Angeles.
I understand you have
some territory over there.
In Chinatown.
Yes. I will assign Yut Lung
to personally attend to it.
Yut Lung? "Dragon Moon," is it?
Yes,
the moon who has control over the dark.
That's odd.
It's supposed
to be around here.
I bet you took
a wrong turn.
I'm sick of riding in this truck.
My ass is as hard as a rock.
True, we've been in it
for almost a week.
I'm hungry.
I want some food.
Who's there?
You tell me.
Who are you guys?
Can you tell us
how to get to Los Angeles?
What?
You're in Los Angeles.
We are?
This is incredible.
What a view!
Wow, it's beautiful!
