Banana Fish (2018) s01e17 Episode Script

1
Ash's operation went well
and he was recovering.
I heard from a reliable source.
He couldn't have just suddenly died.
Yeah, but
All the news stations said it
over and over.
It's fake news.
-Golzine made that center.
-Really?
I heard this from a reliable source, too.
But that's old news.
-Boss!
-Seriously?
What, do I look like
a zombie or something?
It's the real him.
How did you find us?
I heard from Cain that you were released
with Eiji.
What were you doing here?
We were going to go help you.
He told me everything.
Why you had to kill Shorter.
You all stay here.
Don't tell anybody.
Why? You can't boss me around
Hey!
He was trying to help us.
I told you to stay there.
If any word of this gets out,
your friends will all die.
And you call yourself a boss?
Ash, why must you always be like that?
He was trying to help you.
Then I'm asking for just one thing.
Do nothing.
Fine, have it your way.
I won't stop them anymore.
For them, you're the bad guy
who killed Shorter.
For me, too.
Now you've made him mad.
And you, why did you tell him?
If I didn't,
he would still have misunderstood,
and would have tried to kill you.
A little brat can't kill me.
It hurts not to be told the truth.
I understand how he feels, so I told him.
I know I'm not of any help.
But I wish you'd trust me a little more.
I never said I didn't.
I just want to keep you safe.
Yeah, I know that but
Let's stop fighting.
This isn't what I wanted.
I'm glad you're safe.
I've been ignoring everyone
I've been wandering around
I've been deceived everything
At that time
Then you appeared in front of me
You ignited my pale heart
We've been looking for each other
From now on
Save you
The infinite sacrifices
The blurry ideals
I won't let it all go to waste
So I tore up the sadness
built up inside me, into tiny pieces
Get away from me
Get away from dark nightmare
Just now, chip at your heart
We just fight for freedom
All the arguments, all the colliding
I wanted to save you, despite all that
Get away from me
Get away from dark nightmare
We don't want to go through that again
The time is ripe
Listen to the bells of inception ring
Get away from me
Mr. Lee Hua-Lung.
I thank you for inviting me over.
Do you know who I am?
I'm the one who invited you.
Do you remember me?
Of course, Mr. Lee Yut Lung.
Forgive me for inviting you
under my brother's name.
But you must understand now
why it had to be so.
I see.
And that's how Banana Fish began.
The project you're so obsessed about.
You've done your research well.
You even did experiments
on American soldiers in Iraq.
And among them was the brother
of your beloved Ash Lynx.
An ironic destiny, is it not?
Anyway, your obsession
bore fruit with Banana Fish,
and became a strategic weapon
with colossal worth.
Leonard Falkin on the Foundation board
died this morning in an accident.
5 more remain of the members
who kicked you out.
What if I offered
to get rid of them for you?
You could take control
over the entire Foundation.
What do you want in return?
Lee Wang-Lung is the head of the Lee clan.
Help me kill him and my other brothers
excluding Hua-Lung.
What did you say?
Also, their wives and children.
Every last person
with the Lee blood in them.
Up already?
I've slept enough.
Look, the sun is setting.
That and the sunrise is the only thing
worth seeing in this dump.
What is it?
It's just that
I'm really glad you were safe.
You should call Ibe.
I won't make you go home.
I can stay?
You won't go home even if I say no.
Besides, it seems like it's better for me
if you stay.
Even if I sent you back to Japan,
I'd still be worried to death about you.
So I'd rather have you here
where I can see you.
Say something.
You want me to ask you
to stay by my side again?
What?
I like that. Say it again.
Yeah right. I'm starving, let's eat.
Come on, one more time.
Shut up.
You were with Alex the whole time?
Yeah, that's right.
-Really?
-Yeah
I think I was with Sing sometimes, too.
I'm amazed you got out of jail.
Yeah.
You know, don't you. Stop being so mean.
Yut Lung, wasn't it?
Why didn't you just say?
No reason.
I'm relieved he actually let you go.
I don't understand what he's thinking.
Whether he's friend or foe.
I will be Ash's enemy.
So you can't get your hands bloody,
even if it is for Ash.
What's wrong?
I'm going to get some drinks.
How is he planning to confront Ash?
I have a bad feeling.
Brugmansia.
An alkaloid hallucinatory plant.
Induces auditory hallucinations,
acute dementia, erratic behavior.
Remind you of anything?
Yes. Banana Fish was made out of
a spontaneous mutation of the Brugmansia.
I've been taught many things
about drugs since youth.
Especially toxic materials.
Poisoning is an old tradition of ours.
We've been doing it for 4,000 years.
Yet, nothing is born from history.
The days of nationalism and
being controlled by blood ties are over.
By the way, about the runaway Ash
and Prof. Dawson.
I have a proposal that
will get them both return to you.
Really. I would love to hear it.
Never been on a ferry?
Only on the Circle Line.
Circle?
You don't know? You're a New Yorker.
I'm just a country bumpkin.
You foreigners think New York
and Los Angeles is all of America.
But you're all wrong.
There are only a few real metropolises
in this gigantic country.
The rest is a vast countryside.
Lots of people have only seen the ocean
on TV.
Tons of old guys die without
ever leaving their hometown.
Like something out of
a Stephen King book.
Endless cornfields.
And villages that hate outsiders.
Yeah, it's a tough place for outsiders.
My mother was an outsider.
One of the city dwellers
who come to Cape Cod for the summer.
I don't blame her for running away.
I'm sure leaving you behind
was hard for your mother.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Remember what you told me once?
That your mother gave you
your real name, "Aslan."
What does it mean?
It's an ancient Hebrew prayer word.
It means "dawn."
I was born with the sunrise.
And your middle name, "J"?
Jade. The gem.
See? I told you.
Your mother thought hard
to give you that name.
Hoping for the happiness
of her baby born with the sun.
She wished for your life to be
as wonderful as a jade in the dawn.
There's no way she didn't love you.
Then why
Nothing. You must be right.
What is it?
Let's turn back.
-What about Long Island?
-I changed my mind.
Jeez. You always change your mind.
Good that you made it here.
But it's not completely safe.
The hospital?
My boss is looking for one.
Anyways, we're doing a special feature
next month.
Just you wait, Golzine. Just you wait.
Kippard and Holstock, too.
Ash?
You're not coming?
I can't say why,
but something feels strange.
Like I'm being watched.
Be careful.
I'm used to this.
You're the one who needs to be careful.
Already in a crisis, huh.
Maybe Banana Fish isn't purely chemical.
That means
This is heavy.
You're not reading
all this today, are you?
I sure am.
Are you kidding me? It'll take all night.
If you're bored, here.
Go buy yourself some Manga.
Fine, I will then. And a hotdog, too.
One for me, too.
With lots of mustard, Big Bro.
Hey.
I'm going with you.
What?
This mustard is really strong.
You little baby.
Something's not right.
Who's out there?
Explain yourself.
I summoned you and you ignored me.
Never mind. I've got tons
of questions for you.
I heard Golzine came to your mansion
not long ago.
What was he there for?
I just invited him for lunch.
I see.
Don't lie to me.
You resent us,
forgetting that we let you live.
Then kill me like you killed my mother.
I knew it.
What are you conspiring? Speak!
Who are you?
You should've killed me,
when you killed my mother like an animal.
I will destroy you all
and obliterate the Lees from this planet.
Every last one!
As if you could. What can you do anyways?
You're nothing but a failure!
You have the Lee blood in you, too.
The blood of our father, that monster
Are you satisfied with our work?
Yeah.
I had to repay you
for your good work with Falkin.
By the way, I've found the perfect person
for the plan you proposed.
Good.
The victim was Lee Wang-Lung,
the president of Huayang Bank.
No suspects have been named.
It's me, Kippard.
You must know about the consecutive deaths
of the Foundation board members.
Can we meet sometime soon?
That's right. There's no use for him now.
The next presidential candidate is
the 5th brother of the late Lee Wang-Lung.
Lee Hua-Lung is a likely prospect.
Yut Lung, the 7th brother,
is his counsellor.
You've got visitors.
I speculated the pharmacological identity
of Banana Fish.
Ask a mental pharmacological expert
what they think.
You did this yourself?
It's not a pure chemical synthesis.
For example, there's a cactus
called the peyote in South America.
An active constituent that causes
hallucinations can be extracted.
I'm guessing Banana Fish
was made of an alkaloid plant like it.
I'm amazed.
It's just a theory.
How's Professor Dawson?
The doctor said the brain's neural pathway
has been damaged.
But it's hard to prove that
it was caused by drugs.
If we can prove that,
it could be something.
Proving the causal relation, huh.
Damn it. I wish I could strangle
Kippard or Holstock.
I'll do it.
You?
Kippard was a regular
at the old man's restaurant.
People like that never change.
Oh yeah. You said you were being watched.
I can't figure out who it is. It's creepy.
I've lived on my instinct alone.
I had complete faith in it.
This has never happened to me.
I've never seen you lose heart like that.
Who the hell are you?
Show yourself, damn it!
Hey, Ash.
What? I told you not to wander around
by yourself.
What? Why are you so irritated?
I'm not alone. I just came out
to buy some donuts.
You said to meet you at 3.
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Jeez.
What's wrong, Ash? Not feeling good?
It's nothing. Let's go.
Sorry for yelling at you.
It's been 4 years, Blanca.
Yes, it's been a while, monsieur.
Nice tan.
I see the Caribbean is treating you well.
So the rumors were true
that you'd retired.
I've been enjoying the pleasures
of a hermit.
Buried in a pile of books.
Then why have you come?
To decline your offer.
And because your request
took me by surprise.
I wanted to see for myself.
And did you see him?
Time is an ironic thing.
For us, it means to age.
But for boys like him, it means to grow.
He sensed I was near
and his hair stood on end.
So, what do you say?
I'm curious about
how much he's capable of now.
I accept.
This news
What are you doing?
Do I look 15?
Yeah. What, do you want to get in a museum
as a minor?
Prostituting.
I don't get that joke.
It's not a joke. What about the news?
Oh yeah.
What do you think?
About what?
I didn't tell you,
but Yut Lung told me before.
He said he's going to be your enemy.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
Well, because
I will continue to go after you.
As long as you're his only weak spot.
I don't know. But he was full of malice.
He's dangerous.
I have a bad feeling about him.
Don't worry.
If he comes for me, that's that.
-Where are you going?
-I told you.
I'm going prostituting.
Don't go outside alone.
You're not Peter.
He's feeling sick.
I was sent here instead.
Don't you like me?
You still like blonds, huh.
You forgot my face? I'm so sad.
You!
Move. You're heavy.
I have to thank you.
Thanks to my "death,"
the cops aren't
after me.
What do you want?
Money?
Banana Fish.
I don't understand.
Save it for later.
You, Golzine,
Holstock, Smiles.
Who's protecting
all of you?
Answer me.
I won't
betray.
Go on, kill me!
Cheap
patriotism.
But how about this?
Where did you
This is how
Dino works.
All his customers
were photographed.
Were you too aroused to notice?
Now, answer my question.
It's
Good response.
He still follows what I taught him.
Calm down
Will he shoot again? No.
That angle. Which means, that building.
Impossible. That's too far.
If that's where he shot from,
he isn't some ordinary assassin.
