Welcome to Tokyo Narita Airport.
[FLIGHT ATTENDANT SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Yeah. Hey.
WOMAN [OVER PA SYSTEM]:
Narita Air will soon be departing

[BOTTLE CLINKS]
PASSPORT AGENT: Next.
Hmm.
Hey.
Business or pleasure?
Oh, that's a great question.
And when you love what you do,
it's such a hard one to answer really.
But gun to head, I'd have to say pleasure.
But it ain't the holidays
without a fistfight, right?
Anywho, that's why my father left, so
I often think, Bryce,
what would your life have been like
if you'd had a more stable upbringing?
[DRIVER SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
You ever have those thoughts?
Yeah? No?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you seem like you come
from a good home.
Oh, are we here?
All right, uh, cool.
Hey, are you gonna be out here
when I get back?
'Cause I gotta be honest with you,
I'm really enjoying
the conversation we're having.
Just the back and forth is incredible so
It's like I know I don't know you,
obviously, but I feel like
I know you, you know.
Let's do it again sometime!
Five stars.

[HACKING COUGH]
Mr. Schouler?
No, ma'am. Uh, wait,
are we using real names or fake names?
I don't know. What's your name?
Uh, I'm Bryce,
and I'm here to kill someone
for a bunch of money, you know.
I was told to come to this address
to pick up a few things, you know,
guns, bullets,
bigger guns, bigger bullets.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Okay.
And I guess we're walking.
Sorry, about that,
I I'm just trying to go
with a total honesty policy, you know.
It's, it's part of this program I'm in.
I can't really talk about it, though.
It's, uh, it's anonymous.
You were referred by Mr. Salk.
He was very pleased with your work.
He said you were to be trusted.
That you're the best.
Get outta here. Old Salky said that?
Oh, that's so funny, 'cause
on the outside, I'm sure you know this,
he's this creepy,
murderous, criminal kingpin.
But, ah, I love a secondhand compliment.
Thank you. That's very sweet of you.
Everything's just as you ordered.
BRYCE: Wow. I love
what you've not done with the place.
When the job is complete,
your extraction point is
Fukuyama Municipal Airport,
one hour south by train.
There you receive rest of your fee.
[HACKING COUGH]
Yikes.
You know, you really
should get that checked out.
- It's fine. [COUGHING]
- Okay.
Yeah, I mean, it's just
I have a big day tomorrow,
and I hate working sick.
Let me say this,
you guys really know
how to do customer service.
And the whole no tipping thing?
Just amazing. [CHUCKLES]
So, hey, you want to hang out
for a little bit?
Maybe we can watch some TV if you want.
You know, I could order a porno
or Love Actually or
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
Never mind. Okay.
Out they go. Wonderful.
Nice job, Bryce, you dipshit.
Funky music playing ♪

Ho ho! Woo!
Hey, you're, you're all laughing,
but it's true.
I kill people for money.
Hey, hey. Hey, look.
I could kill your buddy right here.
You got the dough, I'll make 'em go.
[ALL CHEERING]
[LAUGHING]
Woo-hoo! Yeah, I'm on a hot streak.
Hey, who wants to bet a kidney?
Woo!
Yeah! Dance like nobody's watching.
Hell with that. I'm gonna dance

GIRL: Ohayo gozaimas.
What up?
Hey, guys, keep up the good work.
Tell me, you really want
to attack the military
and the Royal family in the same speech?
Go big or go home.
Ohayo gozaimas, uncle.
Akiko, you're late.
Yo, what's up, Japan's only hope?
[CHUCKLES] Stop it.
I am a humble public servant,
and I haven't won anything yet.
And he never will apparently.
Who put in this part about
a 20 percent tax increase on corporations?
I did.
Remind me again why I made you
his speechwriter.
Because I'm awesome,
and my opinions are exciting and bold
and deep down inside they thrill you,
even if they also worry you a little bit.
Is that ringing a bell?
Not a one.
Ah, you're not really upset, are you?
You've been breaking my balls
for 30 years.
Why should it stop now?
[KEN LAUGHS]
[CROWD CHEERING]
HIROSHI: There's not enough spotters
on that roof.
And those barricades are set
too close to the stage.
What do you think?
I think I hate working
political rallies.
And demonstrations.
Oh, and rock concerts.
I'm going to call it in.
Should we find a better position?
What are you trying to do,
win "Cop of the Year"?
[CHUCKLES]
With you as my partner?
I don't ever have to worry about that.

[CROWD CHEERING]
KEN: Thank you.
Thank you all.
You're here because you want change!
[CROWD CHEERING]
You want to say "no more"
to the old system
and the corrupt masters it serves!
ALL: No more!
KEN: To an economy that only works
for the one percent!
Why can't I remember my password?
Wait, is it ASS

ever talk to each other?
Sure, yeah, no, I'm Schouler,
AKA the guy you asshats hired.
The guy you're supposed
to put on that plane!
By the way, do you have my money?
[LAUGHING] You mean this money?
I believe I'm supposed
to collect this back.
Now you have killed a great man.
A man who would have ended
the scourge of corruption.
So I'm here to deliver a message
from the man who hired you.
He thanks you for services rendered
and hopes that you will understand
that someone needs to pay the price
for this awful crime
so that the Japanese people can move on.
Well, here's the thing.
I don't believe it's my fate
to die at the hands
of a total prick like you.
A badass woman, sure.
Yeah, I could roll with that.
Or a bunch of badass women.
Even better, eh? [CHUCKLES]

You know what I am.

Ah-da-da-da-da!
