Banana Fish (2018) s01e13 Episode Script
The Snows of Kilimanjaro
1
What did Cain say?
3 AM tonight at East Broadway Station.
The F Line is under construction now,
so it'll be shut down then.
A blind spot in the city.
Arthur can't sneak his men in
as long as they guard the entrances.
But you never know
what dirty tricks Arthur might play.
Yeah, he's got the mafia with him.
I know. Alex knows what to do
if something happens.
You two take Eiji to the airport.
Don't tell him anything.
But you said he was one of us now.
He reminds me of little Skipper.
I've become attached to him.
If we drag him to the airport
without telling him anything,
he'll think he's been betrayed,
and hate you for it.
That's how it should be.
I'm counting on you.
Want more?
This is my territory now, as agreed.
Leave or submit to me.
You have till tomorrow to decide.
Arthur, you okay?
Die!
You coward!
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's up, Cain.
What a great night.
Perfect for Halloween.
Too bad we can't enjoy the moon
once we go underground.
Gotta stay out of the cops' sight.
I have men standing watch
at the neighboring stations.
One on one. No dirty tricks, got it?
Yeah, yeah. I got it.
So, where is he?
Chickened out?
You just worry for yourself.
Who are you?
The Chinese's boss.
Soo-Ling Sing.
You remembered me. I'm flattered.
How did you know it was here?
I had my men comb this place
free of rats.
You underestimate our espionage.
I don't get why it's so hard for you.
It's really easy for us.
I have the right to witness this fight.
They're not the only ones
with business downtown.
I won't be left out of this.
I see. So, how about it?
Have it your way.
I say no.
This is none of his business.
I don't want some outsider
snooping around.
Dear me.
A great boss like you
leading the biggest gang downtown,
scared of a little rat like me?
Or is there a reason
you don't want me here?
He's right, what are you
so worked up over?
Fine, I have nothing to hide anyway.
Then it's settled. Give me your guns.
Ain't got one.
Can't pull anything with a trigger.
Only knives are allowed.
No dirty tricks.
This goes for both of you.
Do anything funny, and you'll face us.
You're going to hurl blood this time.
Can't hear you.
Left!
Are you Ash's fan?
No, I'm not!
Train!
A train's coming!
Impossible.
This line won't run till morning.
He's right, it's coming!
You bastard
Time for you to die!
Damn it!
Kill him!
You've done it now.
-Boss!
-Stand back!
Damn you, Arthur
Cain!
Give me Ash's gun.
Take it, boy.
Don't call me "boy."
No need to be afraid, he's unarmed.
Ash, take this!
Damn.
Damn it. Stay calm, he's alone.
Too bad, you're wrong.
Damn it. We're pulling out!
Damn that Arthur.
How did he get that train?
So, how about it?
You know my answer.
We're going after Arthur.
Give him what he deserves!
To Coney Island!
Arthur!
-Ash is on the train.
-What did you say?
W-What do we do, Boss?
Get a grip! This is our chance.
He's alone, right? Where is he?
Around the 6th car.
Good. We'll get him from both sides.
There he is!
Ash?
Ash, where are you?
Where can he be at this time?
Where are you going?
Ash is gone. Do you know where he is?
You're hiding something.
Good thing you're up.
Pack up. We're taking you to the airport.
The airport?
Did Ash tell you to?
This is hard on us too, okay?
Boss can't do his job when you're around.
We need you to understand.
What time is it?
The flight.
8:10, I think.
Can I have some time alone?
I won't run away or anything.
Yeah, sure. Of course.
We live in different worlds.
That's what you always say.
But is it really so?
Why must we part ways
if we live in different worlds?
Do you really believe that?
If you've decided that it's for the best,
I'll go with your decision.
I'll go back to Japan.
And never again
will I come back.
-What happened?
-He's shot the lights.
-What is it?
-It's no use, Boss.
He got them all.
He's the devil.
Shut your brainless crap.
He's just a human!
Just another punk. Don't glorify him!
The sun is about to come up.
This train will go above ground.
And when it does,
you'll breathe your last breath, Ash.
Where's your stuff?
I don't have anything.
-Let's go then.
-Tell Ash for me.
To take care of himself.
And that I'll be praying for him
wherever I am.
I can't anymore. I can't keep it a secret.
What are you talking about?
You are hiding something.
Tell me!
I'm begging you, tell me the truth.
Did something happen to Ash?
Boss is fighting Arthur now
at East Broadway Station.
To settle it once and for all.
The sun will rise.
I might die this time.
Hey Eiji.
Have you ever thought about death?
Death?
You said I wasn't like normal people.
One thing I'll admit to not being normal
is that I don't fear death.
Humans can be funny.
They don't understand death,
but they instinctively fear it.
There were so many times
when I felt death would be better.
Dying would seem
so sweet and tempting then.
Ash.
There's a mountain in Kilimanjaro
19,710 feet high, deep in the snow.
The Maasai call the western summit
the "House of God."
Near its peak lies the shriveled
and frozen carcass of a leopard.
What was the leopard doing
so high up there?
Nobody's been able to explain it.
It's in the novel,
"The Snows of Kilimanjaro."
When I think of my death,
I think of that leopard.
Why had he climbed
so high up the mountain?
Did he get lost while hunting down prey
till he reached the point of no return?
Or had he climbed higher and higher
as if possessed by some urge
and collapsed trying?
What's his carcass like?
Was he trying to go back?
Or to keep going higher?
Either way, he must've known that
he wouldn't be able to make it back.
Don't look at me like that.
I've never feared death,
but I've never wished for it either.
Good, I'm glad to hear that.
Humans can change their destiny.
They have wisdom leopards don't.
Besides, you're not a leopard.
Right?
Yeah.
I guess you're right.
Go on now.
Hey, Eiji!
Cut the crap already.
At least we can tell Boss we tried.
We'll just get a few knocks on the head,
that's all.
I've heard it so many times.
Your cries as you slept.
Balled up like a little child,
you cried for help.
You cried for your mother.
I pretended not to notice.
It pained me.
What are these nightmares
that torment you so about?
Is it about you killing Shorter?
Or a bitter childhood memory
I don't know about?
Your almost cold-blooded leadership.
Your fearless willpower
Is it all to cover up a fragile soul?
If it is, how cruel it all is.
Ash, don't die.
You have to live.
Die!
Damn it.
Damn it, damn it!
Frederick!
That's the first time you called me
by my first name.
I lose. Kill me.
You want me to blow my brains out?
You're mocking me because I can't shoot.
No. I could easily shoot you
if I wanted to.
Then do it!
Stop running from me and fight!
Bring it on.
It's clear to me now.
Finally, we won't have to be haunted
by each other anymore.
Right, Boss?
They're reaching the Brooklyn area.
They're moving along the F Line.
The last stop on the F Line is
Coney Island!
Aren't you going to ask
why I hate you so?
They say I'm cowardly,
or that I've become the mafia's dog.
But I did it all
to wipe you out of my sight.
Do you know why?
Yeah. But it's not my fault.
Yeah, you never asked for it.
But that's why I hate you even more.
I hate you with all my soul.
We got word that Boss isn't at
the station anymore. Jump on!
Can't you go any faster?
Yeah right, do you wanna die
getting there?
Damn it, it seems like
the cops are on to it, too.
There's a whole mob of them.
If they get Boss,
he'll never make it out alive.
There they are!
What's wrong? You're out of breath.
Let me put you down.
Where are they?
Up there. Ash's right shoulder is gashed.
It's going to weigh him down
if this prolongs.
Die!
Move, let me through.
Ash!
Stop!
All right!
Ash! Ash! Ash!
He did it!
Go back to Japan!
I
I don't want you seeing me like this!
Everybody freeze!
Resist and we'll open fire.
Freeze! Put down your weapon.
Don't resist, Ash! You're surrounded.
Shut up.
As if I could
resist anyways
Let go,
I didn't do anything.
Shut up,
you're
under arrest.
Unbelievable. I'm nothing compared to him.
Please move. Let me through!
Ash!
Stop right there.
Let me go.
Take me with him.
I'm his friend!
Line up.
Don't put up a fight now.
That idiot.
No
It can't happen.
