Banana Fish (2018) s01e08 Episode Script

1
Not picking it up?
It's Jessica.
She probably wants consolation money.
Shut up, you little punk.
Yeah. Hey, Jessica.
Who are you?
Your wife tastes delicious.
What a waste to break up with her.
Here.
Max.
Jessica!
I don't ever want to see your face again.
But Michael Save Michael.
Daddy, Daddy!
Michael, are you there?
Bring Ash Lynx to us
if you want them alive.
Wait!
Touch them and
I'll put a bullet through your brain!
Any arms here?
Just my father's shotgun.
Go get it. The bullets, too.
Ash.
It seems like they won't let us
go back to New York so easily.
-You guys stay here.
-But
This is my thing. I'll give orders here.
Ash.
Don't look at me like that.
Just leave it to me.
-You stay behind.
-Why?
Something isn't right.
If they wanted to lure us out,
they'd move the hostages and set a trap.
If making this place unguarded is
their aim, those two would be in danger.
Protect them.
Ash!
Be careful.
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
Get a hold of yourself.
They're depending on you.
Damn it.
I'm going to kill them, damn it.
Those filthy bastards, how could they?
Isn't there anything we can do
besides just wait?
Let's lock the house down.
You go upstairs.
Okay.
You have to give it to Ash.
To observe so much, amidst such chaos.
So it was you!
But even he couldn't detect
that you were a double-crosser.
How grateful of him to leave you behind
to make my job easier.
Now, let's put you to use, shall we?
Shorter Wong.
The police?
-Jessica, Michael!
-Hey, you can't
-Daddy!
-Michael, I'm so relieved.
You're safe.
Jessica.
Come with me, Michael.
Your daddy and mommy need to talk.
I was scared I was so scared.
They just came crashing in.
Mommy tried to hide me in the kitchen,
and then they got mad.
And then
I'm sorry for making you
remember all that.
Did your mom call the cops?
George did.
He was on the phone with Mommy.
So that's why they ran.
Were they white or black?
They weren't either.
Ibe-san?
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Ibe-san!
What did you do!
He can't move anymore.
He can't see, he can't hear.
He can't move a single finger.
He's just a living doll now.
But not this man.
He can see and hear.
In other words, he's watching all this.
Your betrayal, too.
Tell Ash this.
To come to Lee Wang-Lung in New York.
If he doesn't, this boy will become
another one of Golzine's toys.
He won't go home alive.
Nor in any human-like form.
Your car has arrived.
Let's go.
I'm sorry, Ibe-san,
but believe me when I say this.
I'll die before
I let them lay a finger on Eiji.
I promise you.
Banana Fish, huh.
I see how such a drug
could cause such a commotion.
Interesting.
I wonder if that's why my brother
sent me here.
Or maybe
Ash, why are we hurrying back?
Chinatown sold us out.
I knew Yau-Si was a spy.
Yeah, but Shorter's with them.
I'm sure he'll find a way to stop him.
Eiji, Ibe!
Shunichi! Are you okay?
What happened? Where's Eiji and Shorter?
Damn it.
-Where are you going?
-Chinatown!
Where else would they be?
Wait, Shunichi's trying to talk.
Not there
Good work, Yut Lung and Shorter Wong.
I will tell Wang-Lung
about your notable effort.
Your future is secure now with us.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I'm not leaving his side.
Nor am I going to ever join you!
It seems like his conscience
is eating him up.
For betraying his best friend.
It seems like we have some guests.
Arthur!
Hey, long time no see.
So you've finally become a lowly dog, huh.
Watch your mouth.
I'm not a cheap hoodlum like you anymore.
Yeah, that's why I called you a dog.
You licked Golzine's feet
and begged to be taken in.
That's why everyone chose Ash.
And not you!
You'll never be better than Ash.
You'll come to realize that
sooner or later.
What a loud mouth.
I can't care less. Just hand the boy over.
Over my dead body!
Sorry, but Papa Dino doesn't want
a stray Chinese cat.
He wants a black-eyed Japanese cat.
He saw his picture and liked what he saw.
Ash will suffer when he hears about it.
How this boy will go through the same hell
as he did because of him.
When that happens, we'll see
if I still can't be better than him.
Try to take him away from me,
and I'll rip his throat open.
What?
I'll follow right after you.
I won't let you go alone, Eiji.
Dino won't like it
if you let his precious toy die.
Don't be rude.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.
Laugh if you want.
What's it going to be, Arthur?
Dear me. He actually means it.
Let him have his way on my behalf.
I'll explain everything to
big bro Wang-Lung and Mr. Golzine.
-A wheelchair.
-Don't touch him.
We don't need one.
What's wrong?
You're rather emotional today.
It's nothing. I'm just a little tired.
You're as beautiful as ever.
I know you're kin
but you make my heart flutter.
You're looking more and more like her.
That woman who corrupted Father's heart.
I still remember clearly the day she died.
I was still 15 then.
You look just like her.
I remember it well, too.
Even though I was just 6.
She shed tears through her eyes
and blood through her chest.
Do you resent it?
It's all in the past.
Take it easy, Shunichi.
New York
To Chinatown
To get Eiji back
Then it really was Shorter.
Yau-Si is behind it all.
I can't believe it. Shorter betrayed us?
He's Chinese, too. He must've suffered.
I should've been more careful.
He has a sister in New York.
So that's how it is.
So we have 2 enemies now.
Wang-Lung will pay for this.
Who's there?
I know you're there. Come out.
I'm in a really bad mood right now.
Come out, or I'll kill you!
Wait, don't shoot.
Who are you?
You tell me.
Breaking into my house like this.
-What did you say?
-So you're
I'm Alexis Dawson.
I see. Fine.
Dawson has showed up at his home.
I suppose he's joined up
with the boy and the journalist.
But please do not worry,
Senator Kippard.
Fine, I'll let you take care of that.
So tell me.
Is it really fit for use?
All that's left to do is the field test,
Colonel Holstock.
Human experimentation, huh.
Don't mess it up like last time.
We wrote it off as suicide then,
but we can't anymore.
Don't worry, it's been perfected.
Not like the former prototype.
We've already chosen a subject
to test it on.
Eiji, forgive me.
I've never regretted anything
as much as I do now.
If Golzine tries to do anything funny
I'll set you free
before he gets a chance to.
This antidote works on
most muscle relaxants.
Banana Fish
You made it, didn't you?
Are you one of the guys
with my younger brother, Abraham?
My brother was drugged by it in Iraq.
He totally lost it
and was shot dead by your brother.
What?
I was there when he was drugged.
He was my best friend.
We have the right to know.
Hey.
I don't have time to sit around and chat.
Ash.
The guys your brother has joined up with
have kidnapped my friend.
Fine.
Come with me.
Where've you been?
Some strange men had been following me
the past few months.
So I'd hidden away at a condo.
But I got an alert that
my computer was hacked.
But that computer is a decoy.
It only has what Abraham already knows.
A hidden room?
I guess they overlooked it.
Ever since the day I created it, I was
afraid something like this would happen.
So you made this room.
It all started 20 years ago.
I'd just started out as a medical staff,
and Abraham was a student.
We came up with the idea
to make money by making drugs.
And we created "it" by accident.
The devil itself.
Thank you for coming, Mr. Arthur.
Mr. Golzine's men will be here soon
to pick you up.
Good work, Shorter Wong.
You two, a word.
So now, tell me. What is Banana Fish?
It means nothing to us.
An alkaloid-based organic compound
that paralyzes autonomic nerves.
It causes a heart failure-like symptom.
It doesn't leave a trace.
Perfect for assassinations.
Are you positive?
You're the one that made me train
in this area of expertise.
Why didn't you obtain the data?
Ash never gave me the chance to.
You know as well as I do
that he's not that easy.
That's exactly why I sent you.
Are you telling me that
even you were no match for him?
You better not be lying.
Why would I lie?
I could break your thin neck
anytime I wish to.
Keep that in mind.
Hua-Lung, take those 2 to Golzine for me.
Yes.
You go with him.
He knows nothing about you.
Get close to him and find out
what Golzine's really after.
Don't worry, I won't let him kill you.
I still have a lot more uses for you.
He knows nothing, huh?
The same goes for you,
Wang-Lung, my dear big brother.
Banana Fish isn't just
some cheap assassination drug.
If my presumption is correct
-A nightmare.
-Nightmare?
Drugs like LSDs induce hallucinations.
If the user's mental state is unstable,
it could cause a "bad trip."
Banana Fish induces "bad trips"
to anyone who uses it.
No human can escape from that nightmare.
Fear, hatred
It amplifies all nervous emotions.
But who'd buy a drug if it makes the user
go crazy after one single use?
What would the military ever want it for?
If that was all it does,
it'd only be a bad hallucinogen.
The problem is that it makes the user
susceptible to external stimuli.
Have you heard of drug hypnosis?
A type of hypnosis using drugs
made by the former USSR.
It was made to force people
into spying and assassinating.
But I heard it wasn't reliable
and couldn't be put to use.
Banana Fish makes it 100 percent reliable.
It could be a weapon
depending on how it's used.
Give it to a person and tell him that
immigrants are pests and should be killed,
and he'll start killing immigrants.
-No
-Impossible.
Abraham was the first to realize that.
Our friend tried the newly created drug
and died.
I got scared and disposed of the drug,
but Abraham had hidden a stash.
And at Iraq, he tested it
on POWs and soldiers.
He used them as lab rats?
His fellow men
Griff, too.
All because of what you made,
Griffin, Skip, everyone else
Griffin was my only brother.
He suffered from endless nightmares
But now I know what the old man is up to.
He's joined hands with your brother
to make a deal with the US government.
We are ready now.
This is my youngest brother.
He will be joining you.
Let us go then.
What's so funny?
Nothing.
What a strange boy.
You're about to be held hostage, you know.
I know very well that it's no use
to try to disobey my brothers.
Whatever.
If I cannot escape,
I shall take them down with me.
I will never forget how my brothers
killed my mother.
I will destroy them.
They have scorned and contemned me,
but my time will come.
Holy hell
I realized what Abraham was doing
and confiscated the drug.
I was going to destroy it for good. But
But you didn't.
I'm a scientist.
I couldn't bring myself to destroy
a new discovery.
Wait!
Let go of me! He deserves it.
That's not it.
Let me do it!
Shunichi.
This one's for Eiji.
Dino Golzine's great conspiracy, huh.
If the government backs him up,
he'll be the top dog of the underworld.
Damn it.
Everybody's here now.
I'm taking you all to New York.
-What a convoy.
-You watch your mouth, punk.
Shunichi!
Why are my hands behind my back
and not them?
I can't even take a piss.
Nice rod you got there.
You punk.
You'll kill him!
No, Mr. Golzine has claimed the right
to do that.
Oh yeah, Max.
Your wife is pretty hot.
So you're the one
Max!
You'll pay for what you did to her.
Take them away.
