Banana Fish (2018) s01e22 Episode Script

As I Lay Dying

1
Ash.
Sing.
This is bad.
Where are you taking them?
I'd worry about myself if I were you.
Don't worry about them. Dr. Mannerheim
will take good care of them.
What?
-Hurry it up.
-Kong!
Soldiers shouldn't
treat hostages like that.
Too bad, but the international laws
don't apply to us.
We don't "exist", you know.
I'll follow the truck.
Now then. Take Mr. Dino's son inside.
I'd like a word with him.
There's nothing to talk about.
You'll change your mind.
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
To think you've killed
so many of my seasoned men.
A young boy with such an innocent face.
You're like a leopard.
A wild demon of the forests
that the jungle dwellers dread the most.
But it's graceful and beautiful.
Those who hate me
call me the devil, the reaper, whatever.
But you, I will not let you say it.
I don't go around carving out eyes
from people who are still alive.
Why do you resist the monsieur?
You're talented, young, and beautiful.
You could have anything you want.
Anything?
Only on his agenda.
I have nothing to do with it.
Why don't you join hands with me, Ash?
If you become the head of the Foundation,
the world will bow before you.
I'll take over the shady business
so you won't have to soil your hands.
Join me, and the world will be ours.
Are you serious?
I'd rather kiss a slug
than join hands with you.
The son of a distinguished man
shouldn't speak like that.
I noticed the monsieur seems to have
a trump card against the US government.
You know what it is, don't you?
The Corsican Foundation has
deeply penetrated the heart of the US.
There must be something behind it.
You'll tell me, won't you?
As a sign of our partnership.
You've got to be kidding me. You're crazy.
I understand very well
that simple violence won't move you.
You try to escape from the monsieur
because you were once his sex toy.
You know he'll control you once again
if you return to him.
Your knees will give way,
and you won't be able to move.
You're still powerless against that curse.
Stop, get your hands off me!
Now, ready to talk?
Your kind is always like that.
You dominate others
by forcefully crushing them.
Suit yourself.
But nobody can dominate me.
I'll never bow down to you.
I'll resist with my entire soul.
Well then.
As you wish.
2 on watch outside.
4 inside.
We need to contact Ash
and take action from inside and out.
You're quite obstinate.
What?
A call from the monsieur.
Okay, I'm coming.
You'll surrender to me one day.
Don't forget that.
Keep your eyes on him.
Get your revenge if you want.
But don't kill him.
He's expensive merchandise.
Still knocked out? It seems like
you got some loving from the colonel.
Is that all?
Got the life knocked out of you?
Have some water.
The monsieur's rich son, eh?
You're nothing but a man-whore.
Go, Sing!
Damn it.
Stand back, Colonel.
Enemy attack. Numbers unknown.
Damn it, not now.
Unbelievable.
After how much I damaged him.
Face me, Foxx!
We'll meet again, Ash.
Don't forget what I said.
Ash, you're safe.
You idiots, why did you come back?
We've got to get out of here.
We'll be safe here.
Are you okay?
Show me your wounds.
What's wrong?
Sorry, it's nothing.
I just need some rest.
There we go.
-Sing!
-Cain!
-We were waiting for you, Boss.
-Boss!
Where's Willie and Yang?
They were caught.
Them and about 10 others.
What?
I know where they went.
The National Mental Health Institute.
If you knew, why didn't you help them?
I was caught, too.
Sing and Cain saved my life.
You left our guys to die
and saved him instead?
I didn't have a choice.
There were more than 20 of them.
All pros, too.
We'd just get caught if we tried anything.
Since when are you Ash's shadow, Cain?
-What did you say?
-You little
Don't act like you aren't.
Being bossed around
by a white boy like that.
-Say that again.
-You're asking for it now.
Hey, this isn't the time for this.
Stop it, Lao.
Let me go, Sing. I can't stand it anymore.
Ash.
What the hell were you doing anyway,
saving Ash instead of your own guys?
-You call yourself a boss?
-Say that again!
-Don't forget
-Nothing better to do?
Have it your way.
But don't get in my way anymore.
He's right.
If you're not serious about this, get out.
I've explained it to you already.
Stop picking fights with Ash.
You're our boss, not him.
He's on a totally different level.
I can't calm everyone down
with just a few words like he does.
Those who have power take charge, period.
Shorter was never submissive towards Ash.
Yeah, because they were best friends.
I'm sick of being compared
to someone who's already dead.
I just want you to become
the king of downtown.
Shut up! It doesn't matter who's boss.
We'd just be sucked dry
by the Lees and Golzine anyways.
If we don't fight back now,
we'll forever be expendable tools.
Fine. Have it your way.
But I'll never bow down to Ash Lynx.
I'll never acknowledge him,
no matter what you say.
Lao, where are you going?
Lao!
Damn it.
"You call yourself a boss", right?
Nah.
Alex is back. Come with me if you're in.
Ash.
Have you ever regretted becoming a boss?
All the time.
I won't do it anymore.
Why do I have to kill
that little amateur kid?
Because you can save the life
of your precious Sing that way.
Have you already forgotten?
I can't kill a guy
who hasn't done anything.
If you want me to kill Ash, fine, but
I regret to tell you this,
but you lack the ability to.
But that's fine.
I'll have other things
for you to do for me.
Eiji Okumura
He concerns you no longer!
You just pretend you know nothing.
No matter what happens.
We still have 2 more scorpions.
Unlike Lao, they know
what's best for them.
They'll do anything.
You seem disturbed, Blanca.
I'm just curious.
Why you despise Eiji Okumura so much.
You think he's Ash's weak point too,
don't you?
I used to.
You don't now?
I'm not sure anymore.
It's best for Ash
to return to the monsieur.
I want to see Ash reign
as the great demon.
A real heartless monster.
It's my aspiration in life to fight
tooth and nail with such a monster.
I can't have him playing friendship
like a fool.
He's an encumbrance.
I'm a monster too, Blanca.
Goodnight.
I see the construction work
is going smoothly.
Yes, the security system
will be flawless this time.
Nothing in this world is flawless.
Not as long as it's created by humans.
But this is quite a security system.
The inmates here
are all violent criminals.
Is that so.
Why do you ask?
Forgive me. I was just being curious.
Did the reporter spill yet?
No. He's quite stubborn.
I'll use a truth drug if necessary.
I must recover that data,
no matter what it takes.
Leave it to me. As long as we have
that man, we can lure your son out.
His sentimentalism is his shortcoming.
Nothing in this world is flawless,
or so you say.
You're holding out quite a bit, Mr. Lobo.
You should thank the boy.
Until we catch him, you get to stay alive.
So he got away safely, huh.
That's a good one. He really got away.
Serves you right.
You won't be laughing anymore.
We need you to be a bit more obedient.
Mr. Lobo.
Jessica, what a surprise.
Why, you're looking good.
Ash, I heard you saved me. Thanks.
I have some bad news. Dino caught Max.
What?
It's gone. Hey you!
Did anybody come here before us?
Yes, a lady and a young boy.
Just this morning.
Makes you sick, huh?
If this gets released, it would throw
the White House into an uproar.
An unheard of scandal.
It's our last resort.
All we can do is expose his connections
with the government officials.
As long as we have this, Max is safe.
I can't say for how long though.
How will they come for us?
Ash, everyone's here.
Ash, that day, were you?
Sorry, it's nothing.
Yeah, I was. You want to know
if I was raped, right?
How can you be so calm about it?
It took me 6 months
to get back up on my feet.
I'd be dead long before now
if it took me that long.
I'm not hearing any good news.
Ash is always by that Japanese boy's side.
We can't get close.
You're wrong. Ash becomes all tame
when he's around him.
He's degraded from a lone lynx
to a content pet cat.
Get him when they're alone together.
You might be able to get Ash, too.
You understand Ash's weak point very well.
We go back a long way.
But those 2 can't kill Ash.
But they might be able to kill Eiji.
-Construction work?
-Yeah, pretty big too.
Lucky for us. There must be
lots of trucks going in and out.
The question is, where are they locked up?
They're sure to contact us.
I have something of his he needs back.
You go with Jessica and
have News Week shelter you.
I won't take no for an answer.
I know.
I'll go with Jessica.
I think that's best, too.
You don't have to be so suspicious.
I mean, I guess last time was, well
But not this time. I promise.
This time?
Okay, sure. This time, huh.
You sure were something last time,
big bro.
It's unlike you
to not notice my coming, Blanca.
It is because I was hiding nothing.
Where are you going?
Depending on your answer,
I may not forgive you.
You mustn't kill Eiji Okumura.
In the end, we all have to
rely on you again.
I wish I could take your place.
I didn't want to make you
hold a gun anymore.
It's too late, Blanca.
Don't go, Blanca!
Forgive me, Mr. Yut Lung.
You don't even know where they are.
It's futile.
You may be right.
But I will check all the places
I can think of.
Pier 4. The warehouse by the fish market.
Thank you, sir.
My hands are dripping with blood.
The blood of the innumerable people
I killed.
You had to, or you would've been killed.
My father always said
that I was a troublemaker.
I'll only cause trouble for you, too.
Just like now.
You think I'd care?
As if I would!
You know that better than anybody.
I don't want to lose you.
I'd do anything for you.
Come with me to Japan.
You won't need a gun there.
You can be reborn. You can be free.
I don't want to make you fight anymore.
I don't want you facing any more danger.
Thanks.
I wanted to be like you, too.
I've always wished I could've lived
a more normal life.
You can! It's not too late.
You can do anything.
You'll have to teach me Japanese, then.
Of course.
You'll get it down just like that.
I'm not so sure.
Vowels are the key to Japanese, right?
Like "Gi-zu-mo."
It's "I-zu-mo."
I-zu-mo?
-What's this?
-The basic greetings.
"Nice to meet you."
Oh, I know how to say that much.
"How y'all doing."
"I'm a-okay."
-Who taught you those phrases?
-Ibe-san.
Okay, and here's how you say goodbye.
"Sa-yo-u-na-ra."
Sa-yo-na-ra.
Watch out!
Eiji!
Eiji!
Help me!
Shao Ti!
-Stop!
-No Sing, watch out!
-Out of my way!
-Stop, he's already dead!
No!
Lao!
Ash!
-Wake up!
-Eiji.
Eiji, Eiji.
-Hurry, an ambulance.
-Gotcha.
Ash
You're safe
Good
Eiji.
Eiji Eiji!
