Banana Fish (2018) s01e11 Episode Script

The Beautiful and Damned

1
Last night, the home of Dino Golzine,
the Corsican mafia boss, was attacked.
Charlie, it's me.
It's me, Max.
What the hell happened?
Where's Eiji and Ash?
The chit-chat can wait.
Let me catch my breath.
What happened to Ash? I saw on TV
We know.
We're the ones who reported it.
-The reporters
-Send them away!
Shut them all out.
Boss is back!
-Boss!
-You're back.
Now that you're back,
we won't let Arthur have his way.
First, food and clothing.
And check up on all our buyers.
-Tell The Fly to get these for me.
-Gotcha.
And 2 cell phones and a tablet.
Now give me 2 hours of sleep.
He fell asleep just like that.
Yeah, it's always like that.
2 hours. Wake me up after 2 hours.
Yes, Boss.
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
Give me another chance.
I've told you once before,
to get control over
all the groups in Manhattan.
I thought I had cleaned up
all of Ash's guys.
My mansion is in ruins,
and Ash has gotten away.
Now the media is all over my tail, too.
You fool!
Damn it.
It's been 2 hours.
Aren't you going to wake him?
What are you guys all afraid of?
Ash has an evil temper when he wakes up.
-That's it?
-You don't get it.
He's scarier than a lion when he wakes up.
This is what I got for waking him.
Fine.
I'll wake him up.
Ash, wake up. It's time.
I said, wake up. It's been 2 hours.
See his frown?
-He's in for it now.
-I'm shaking.
2 hours?
Yeah, just like you said.
I said that?
I'm going to take a shower.
Hey, where's the soap?
The shampoo, too!
Yes sir, coming right up!
Aren't you going to ask about Shorter?
You can tell me when you're ready.
I made sure they wouldn't be able
to touch him again.
Okay.
Thanks, Ash.
They're holding their breath,
watching Ash's every move.
Waiting for their boss's order.
His words are their law.
He's their king.
The symbol of respect, fear,
and absolute authority.
But not the Ash I know
Which groups are under Arthur now?
Almost every one.
Only 2 groups other than the Chinese
are still somewhat neutral.
They're too afraid to do anything.
Typical Arthur.
Arthur's looking for me now
like his life depends on it.
He's backed by the Corsican mafia.
But I'll repress them.
You guys gather as much info as you can.
The number of men, their races.
Who the bosses are, their hideouts.
But be careful.
Remember that you're in danger, too.
-Stay alert.
-Yes, Boss!
Now go.
What is it?
You're a real leader.
They're just a troop of monkeys.
Anyways, let's eat.
Wow, it really is Japanese tofu.
They chose it for you.
You're good with chopsticks.
You could live in Japan.
Japan, huh. Do you have any family?
My parents and a kid sister.
A little sister? Must be cute.
Yeah right. In a million years.
We've never talked like this before.
Even after all this time.
You're right.
I don't know anything about you.
Your hair is pitch black.
Your eyes are deep and dark, too.
I hated dark things when I was a kid.
My dad made a jack-o'-lantern for me
on Halloween night.
I wore it to go trick-or-treating.
I went to hide in the forest alone
to scare Griffin.
It was pitch dark,
and there were eerie noises all around.
I got scared and turned to go home when
a huge pumpkin came staggering my way.
I realized later on that it was just
my reflection on the windshield of a car.
I've hated pumpkins ever since.
It gives me chills just seeing one.
What?
What's so funny?
You better not tell that to anyone else.
A guy who's got the mafia at gunpoint,
scared of a pumpkin!
I've got to tell Golzine,
to fire those bodyguards
and plant a pumpkin garden instead.
Laugh all you want.
What is it?
Get behind the bed.
Hurry.
Hey, my man. It's me.
Don't put a hole in me now.
It's you, The Fly.
Yo.
I brought the goods you asked for.
See? Just the way you like it.
You still like that
old-fashioned revolver?
How about this baby?
The Colt Government 45 ACP.
I don't need it.
But it's pretty handy.
You can kill more enemies with it.
And I won't be able to stop.
You're an old-fashioned sniper.
Straight up and honest, eh?
Like hell I am.
Who's ever heard of an honest murderer?
By the way,
you can pay for this, right?
Rest easy. Here's a jade,
worth 400,000 dollars.
400,000?
It's the real thing.
-Where did you
-It was a gift.
From who?
None of your business.
Oh yeah.
I'm also taking orders for coffins.
Get lost before I stuff you in one.
Whatever you say.
I don't know how to feel, Ash.
You, who kills relentlessly
amidst all that blood and gunpowder.
You, who hates pumpkins
and pouts about it.
Which one is the real you?
Or are they both you,
coexisting within you side by side?
Sometimes, I get really scared.
What are you staring at me for?
I just noticed how
even your eyelashes are blond, too.
-Down under, too. Wanna see?
-Yeah, sure!
I'm kidding.
You're so weird.
You're so close, but I get scared you
might slip away to some far away place.
-Ouch!
-Sorry, did it sting?
Hell yeah, it did.
I don't know about you,
but I have a delicate body.
It really hurts
if you do it all sloppy like that.
He should've hurt his mouth instead.
Well, sorry about that.
I'm a sloppy Japanese and can't do better.
Would the delicate American
like a sandwich by the sloppy Japanese?
As long as there are no fingers in it.
Eiji will be fine.
Ash will protect him
if it costs him his life.
He took Eiji with him, knowing the risk.
He had to.
Even the tough little lynx
couldn't bear being alone now.
I guess you're right.
I think I'll have a drink, too.
That's the spirit.
Eiji is a strange boy.
He's pretty darn plain,
if you know what I mean.
He's a really nice boy, but that's it.
For better or for worse,
he lacks personality, unlike Ash.
He has a strange power, though.
He comforts the people around him.
He's the exact opposite of Ash.
I wouldn't say that.
They really had a fun time
when we were at Cape Cod.
They'd look like boys just having fun
if it weren't for the gun.
It was comforting to watch.
Ash noticed me
as I stood there gazing at them.
It only took him a split second
to read what was on my mind.
His carefree expression was gone.
He was his usual self again.
I felt sorry for the boy.
Since when did he learn to be like that?
He can only be a young boy again
when he's with Eiji.
Just a boy of 17 years old.
I tried to forget.
Former male prostitute, gang leader,
and murderer, and I still get shaken up.
Don't say that about yourself.
I was 8 when I first killed a man.
I was raped.
I was terrified.
So scared, I couldn't find my voice.
My heart was screaming for help,
but I couldn't let out a single cry.
When I shot him, I cried.
I cried because I felt nothing.
I'm scared of myself.
I killed Shorter
I don't know
how much blood is on my hands.
I don't feel anything.
Nothing
Ash, it's okay. Calm down.
You do feel it.
You're hurt. Really hurt.
I can tell.
You saved me.
If you feel responsible,
the same goes for me.
My words might not mean anything now,
but just remember one thing.
Even if the world turns on you,
I'll always be on your side.
I'll stay by your side.
That is, if you don't mind.
Does that mean I have to keep eating
those nasty sandwiches?
That's right, lucky you.
Tofu sandwiches are good for you.
Your health is safe in my hands.
Stay by my side.
It doesn't have to be forever.
Even if it's just for now.
-Ash?
-Did I wake you?
No.
Go back to sleep. It's still early.
And you?
I'm stealing.
Um, Ash?
Are you going to keep doing that stuff?
What stuff?
You know. Gunfights and all that stuff.
You scared?
I'm just saying that being reckless
isn't the only way to be brave.
I'm older, you should listen.
Well forgive me, big brother.
Why are you already like that?
You cried like a baby just last night.
Come on, big brother.
I'm really busy now.
Could you get off my back?
That Ash.
Oh well. He's still a kid, too,
crying in my arms like that.
That's all you're eating?
I'm watching my weight.
You go ahead and pig out.
I sure as hell will.
You nibble on that leaf like a bunny.
You really surprised me
when your boys came for me.
How'd you find us?
Where else would you be, Dad?
Cut it out. I'm not half as old enough
to be your dad.
Dressing me up like this
and playing dad and son.
So, what's up?
Old man Dino's looking for me
with the cops on a leash.
It's a matter of time before they find me.
If you're worried about Eiji,
give him to us.
He's safer with me.
You guys can't protect him like I can.
Fine, have it your way. So now what?
I'm buying a condo on 59th Avenue.
I need you to sign the contract.
What did you say?
I can't do it myself. I'm a kid.
But how are you going to pay for it?
What did you do?
-Papa!
-What is it now?
We got a call from
the New York Stock Exchange.
Our company
Webster Ecom's stocks have plummeted
since this morning's opening.
What?
It's nothing.
I just sent fake selling orders
to the main stock companies.
Lots of them.
-Papa, big trouble!
-Now what?
The money in GOOSE have all been wired
to somewhere overseas. It's all gone!
There are 5 companies in tax havens,
all owned by the Corsican Foundation
Dino is a part of.
They're called GOOSE
after the countries' initials.
But they don't really exist.
The foundation has a number of
fake companies like these
to disperse their profit and evade taxes.
GOOSE is the largest among them.
A total of about 90 million dollars.
And I took it.
Someone accessed it from outside.
No, it couldn't have been hacked!
It seems like your ID was used
in the transaction, Papa.
But I'm the only one
who knows the password
Only his favorite "pets"
are allowed into his bedroom.
While the perverted old man was enjoying
the sex, I had other things on my mind.
He never imagined his pet would
plant a spyware in his computer.
It's dirty money to begin with.
That means he's caused huge damage
to the foundation.
-So he has to go explain to the dons now.
-Bingo.
For the first time ever,
you really scare me.
If there really are such things as devils,
they'd probably look like you.
Anyways, he won't be able to move
for a while now.
Now, I want you to look this up.
The secretary who did it
was controlled by Banana Fish.
Thank you, Mr. Winston.
I'll be right back with the documents.
I feel like a celebrity
even though it's not my money.
Buying an 8 million dollar condo
with cash.
What are you looking at?
The Corsican Foundation
owns that building.
What?
Damn, you're bold.
What if they find you?
There's a gym and
a supermarket downstairs.
I won't have to leave here.
But Eiji has a pretty aggressive side.
Do you think he'll agree
to being cooped up here?
He has to.
Don't tell anybody about the condo yet.
We have to stay low for now.
And what are you going to do?
It's better you didn't know.
You just look up what I asked you.
Let's get to the bottom of things.
To be honest with you,
I'm actually scared.
I feel like we'll uncover something
we shouldn't know about.
Too late now.
Later, Dad. I'll call you.
Ash, there's something
I couldn't tell you.
It's too dangerous for you
to stay with Eiji.
He's your Achilles heel.
I'm afraid that someday
I'll give you one last chance.
I am leaving the States
for some business
I must attend to.
You have full control
over my men
during my absence.
Catch that boy.
He can lose his limbs
for all I care.
But do not kill him.
I will attend to him,
the moment I come back.
I will strangle him with my own hands.
It's time for war.
There's no turning back
now that you're with me.
-Got it?
-Yeah!
I'll stomp the life out of you
for sure this time.
Ash.
I feel so sick.
You drunk.
Hey, don't throw up.
Not here.
Ash
