Banana Fish (2018) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Hey, babe.
Those airheads,
we're not here to have fun.
What are you so stressed about?
Is it about where we're headed to?
Shut up.
Don't throw up!
Where are we going anyways?
We're in California, yeah!
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
What the heck?
Apparently, he's feeling sick.
Daddy?
Daddy!
-Daddy?
-Michael.
-Michael!
-Daddy!
Don't touch him!
I heard from George that you ran away.
Are you trying to kidnap him
before you lose in court?
-No, that's not it
-Shut up!
Damn.
No wonder he felt sick.
Hi, Jessica.
Shunichi?
You better thank Shunichi.
Or you would've been dead meat by now.
She helped me with an article once.
You boys look pretty hot.
Want to become a model for our magazine?
-Model?
-Don't listen to her.
She'll make you open your legs
and show your butthole.
Butt?
You made a living out of
taking shots of girls' cooches.
What's wrong with me doing the same?
Not in front of Michael!
What could be worse than this?
I'm sorry. Michael, have some more fries.
I'm going to bed.
-Good night.
-Good night, my darling.
Good night, Daddy.
Good night.
Will you be here for a while?
Um, well
I have to go back
as soon as I'm done here.
Good night, everyone.
Good night.
Old lady.
Hey, old lady.
You mean me?
Who else?
Could you pass the mustard, old lady?
You've got balls.
Blaming me for my son?
Sorry, but I'm not going to listen
to a punk like you.
And who's got balls now?
I'm really sorry.
All parents are garbage.
Kids can't choose their parents, you know.
They can't ask for a different pair
no matter how bad they are.
Listen very carefully.
Yes.
You should've just told us
that it was your son's birthday.
Yeah, thanks for letting me stop by.
"102, 42 Westwood" was it?
This is it.
What a big house.
How careless of them.
What is it?
It's just
It doesn't feel right.
Out back.
Somebody, please help
Are you okay?
-Master has been kidnapped.
-That way!
-Stop!
-Damn it.
Are you blind or what?
This is how you do it.
Damn.
Shorter, go out front.
A girl?
But she said "Master."
Sorry Ash, they got away.
They had a van ready.
Let's go inside.
I was making dinner when those men
came barging in and took Young Master.
So they were after this boy?
Who is he?
Yau-Si is Master's
He is Professor Alexis Dawson's son.
Son?
Young Master!
He looks like Eiji.
You think?
You are?
We came here
looking for an Abraham Dawson.
That's my father's younger brother.
Though, I've never met him before.
Your dad isn't Asian, is he?
Guessing from his name.
I was adopted.
My father didn't have any children
so he adopted me.
-You landed big.
-Hey.
So, where is the professor?
Father has been missing for 6 months now.
I see. Okay.
They've come to your house
just like we presumed.
We have to procure Alexis before they do.
In order to complete "it."
Get me Lee Wang-Lung on the phone.
What a mess. And the cops?
We called.
But only a few policemen came.
It must've been scary
with your father missing and everything.
Something's not right.
Where do you think your dad might be?
Um, can I ask what is going on?
Who are you?
Us? Well, we're
Can I look in this computer?
Sure, but you need a password.
I'll figure it out.
You can do that?
Dinner is ready if you are hungry.
In a minute.
Can you look him up?
Something wrong?
I don't know. Just that
he's too quiet.
I'm sorry, did I surprise you?
I don't like being approached from behind.
I grew up in a tough neighborhood.
Have some jasmine tea. It's relaxing.
You don't make any sound when you walk.
What do you mean?
I meant what I said.
We Chinese are brought up to move quietly.
Is that how it is?
Not Shorter, though.
You got in?
I have a cracking software.
Passwords mean nothing
if you boot with this.
That's incredible.
So, did you find anything?
I'm decrypting an encrypted drive
right now.
I wish I had a faster GPU.
Can I watch?
Sure. It's your home.
-Did it work?
-Just watch.
-See?
-Wow, you're amazing.
Go get the others.
What's "Banana Fish"?
That's what we want to know.
Did you find something?
It's not
We were wrong.
Banana Fish,
it's not a person.
This is the analysis table of Banana Fish.
It's mainly psilocybin
and lysergic acid diethylamide.
Banana Fish is
the name of the drug itself.
Drug
The key is probably this "inert alkaloid."
There's no data about it.
What is it, and what effects does it have?
So this is what broke Griff down.
So it's a drug, huh.
And an unidentified one, too.
So, did you find anything out?
Yau-Si Dawson, 16 years old.
Both parents are deceased.
His school introduced him to the Dawsons.
He got a scholarship and
has already graduated high school.
So he was adopted because he was smart.
It sure makes sense.
Hey, Shorter?
How's Nadia doing?
Good, I guess.
-She can take care of
-Remember?
How she used to always feed us kids?
Yeah, Dad was still around those days.
He'd always Hey, what's wrong?
Shorter, don't ask any questions
and get out of L.A. now!
Forget about that Ash guy and just go.
-Please!
-How do you know
Hello, Shorter Wong.
My name is Lee Hua-Lung.
Lee Wang-Lung of New York is my brother.
The Lee clan?
I've looked through everything,
and there aren't any more hidden files.
How about you?
I don't understand the test data,
but it dates back to over a decade ago.
Including Griff's case.
A bunch of soldiers died back to back
around that time in the army.
There are even dissection logs of them.
This could mean a totally different thing.
The possibility of military involvement?
You noticed, too?
Obviously. I'm the one who hacked this.
But now, I'm on equal footing with Dino.
No, you stay out of this mess.
This could be a nationwide conspiracy.
What could be better?
Wake up!
It's not about personal vengeance anymore.
What, got cold feet?
This isn't a joking matter.
You know better.
Yeah, I know this is way out of my league.
But I have to put an end to this.
For Skip and for Griff.
And for me, to become free.
Or else, I'd never
-No.
-What?
Why risk your life?
You'll just die in vain.
Can't you see?
If you insist on continuing,
I'll have to hold you down.
Yeah? Try to stop me then.
You said in prison that
you'll kill me for abandoning Griff.
Go ahead, but I'm not going down
without a fight.
Shorter's back.
Don't tell the others about this.
As if I would.
Ash? What's going on?
It's nothing.
There was nothing shady about Yau-Si.
At least that's clear, then.
I guess I'm being too uptight.
The situation has changed, Shorter Wong.
What do you mean?
Your brother promised to support us.
These are his orders.
You are to report
on Ash Lynx and his buddies from now on.
You want me to spy on them? No!
Calm down.
Think about it, it's either the white punk
or your fellow people.
Yut Lung will give you orders from now on.
He's of the Lee clan.
He will contact you shortly.
Shorter!
Hey, you seem distracted.
Nah, I'm just tired.
Then have that old lady
make some Chinese dishes for you.
It's way better than yours.
Aww, come on man.
I'm the next owner of the great Chang Dai.
Poor Chang Dai.
It better kiss its reputation goodbye.
Shall I have Suk-Leui make something?
Or
-What
-Shut up.
Who are you?
There's no way you're Dawson's son.
I'm not lying.
Sonny was threatened, he had to be lying.
Who's Yut Lung? Spill it!
This tattoo, it's the Lee family seal.
You Are you Yut Lung?
You will obey my orders from now on.
Consider my words
to be my big brother's words.
Just a kid like you
Lee Wang-Lung of New York
is my eldest brother.
I'm the 7th child,
the youngest of the family.
But Lee only has 6 sons.
Or so you thought.
A bloody history is inevitable
when you are the ruling clan.
The blood shed in the shadow of prosperity
is darkness behind the light.
I was destined to rule that darkness.
Which is why I was given the "moon"
for my name.
I see now why my brother felt the need
to send me here.
Ash Lynx. What an interesting
and formidable foe.
Did you reach the publisher?
They'll talk to the Japanese consulate
and immigrations office for us.
I'd completely forgotten about our visas.
Do you think Eiji will understand?
It gives me a headache thinking about it.
-I'm scared he might run away again
-I'll talk to him.
I'll tell him to his face
that he'll get in the way.
-You can't.
-How can you say that?
Wake up, this isn't a game.
From here on out,
the less burden the better.
You little punk, how can you say that!
-Stop
-Max!
Ash is willing to play the bad guy for us.
What did you say?
That you'll be a burden. Go back to Japan.
I can't refuse, can I?
I can't even protect myself.
All I've done was slow you down.
That's not true.
You saved Skip and me.
But that was just
That was the first time somebody helped me
without asking for anything in return.
Those who fed me or gave me a place
to sleep always expected something back.
Like sex.
I only own a gun and learned to shoot
because it was the only way to survive.
I envy you for not needing a gun in life.
You and I live in different worlds.
I understand.
Can I just have some time
to think it over?
I need to sort my feelings out.
Sure.
You can do what I can't.
So we're equal.
Your turn.
Thanks, Ash.
Ibe-san.
Ash didn't mean what he said.
I asked him to say it.
That's okay.
I'm older than him, but it's always him
that has to protect me.
I'm fine with it,
but hearing it straight from him
it just makes me wonder
why I even came here.
It must've been hard for you
to have to be cold to Eiji.
You're heading back to New York, huh?
That's why you want Eiji to leave, huh?
It's just too dangerous.
You'll be killed if you go back.
It's the same here, anyway.
His men will find us.
New York might be Dino's home ground,
but it's mine too.
You're still going to confront him?
I can't stand hiding from him anymore.
I give up.
I'm going with you.
You're Griff's little brother.
I feel some kind of destiny.
I'm going to have the head of
the New York Tribune keep the data.
You have no say in this.
This is my way of doing things.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
Kidnap that Japanese boy, Eiji.
My job is to catch Ash alive
and hand him to my brother.
But it's proving to be quite difficult.
He suspects something about me.
He seemed to notice my trained moves.
Nobody has ever noticed before.
So you're going to use Eiji as bait
to lure Ash?
I'm glad we're on the same page.
You bastard
You're going to kill me?
I wonder what will happen
to your sister then.
To kill me, a Lee, and disobey my brother
would be to betray your fellow people.
Your sister's safety will be jeopardized.
She looked after you
after your parents died, correct?
You damn bastard!
I used to respect you guys.
My parents said all the time,
that it's all thanks to the Lees
that we can survive in this foreign land.
So no matter what bad rumors I heard
about the Lees, I never doubted you.
But now
Not anymore.
You're the same as Golzine and his guys.
You're maggots sucking the living blood
of others.
I thought you looked like Eiji,
but I was wrong.
You're nothing but a venomous snake.
Mr. Yut Lung.
You have a message from Mr. Hua-Lung.
I'm coming.
That's right. He just suddenly showed up.
-He's after something, isn't he, George?
-Mommy.
One minute.
Somebody's coming.
