Original subtitles

Don't even know how it started.

Now I'm even too deep to remember this.

And it doesn't feel good.

If you had paid me earlier, none of this would have happened.

The police

are here. You know what to say.

Let me explain.

Menon?

I want out Slater.

No way, Mayling. Not now.

What's so special about now?

What am I supposed to look for this time?

A small silver case.

I want you to call me when they're moving out their next ship.

What if I decide to walk instead?

I wouldn't do that if I were you. I wouldn't be smart.

What did they have on you?

I was, uh, touring, dancing.

And a friend of mine put some drugs in my suitcase. I got caught.

Some drugs?

Slater, if I get this for you, am I out?

It's not up to me, kid.

You owe me this.

I don't owe you anything, lady.

You are a bastard.

We just want to be good friends with you.

To protect you. Do you know that?

Say it louder!

Do you know that?

Excuse me. I'm looking for a copy of Tao Te Ching.

You speak English?

Yeah. Do you speak Chinese?

No, no. Only read it.

Oh, good.

It's a free charge.

No.

I couldn't. Oh, it's all right. It's a gift. You did something for us. We give

you something in return.

Well, thank you.

Thank you very much. I am honored.

Thank you.

Good day.

You would only attend your business as well as you tend these trees.

You should never have had to appear in that club.

You are Sakura.

For years our family has controlled that neighborhood.

You must control without controlling.

The club owner showed you no respect, Hanzo. If he cannot respect you, he will

not respect our family.

Those streets are your training grounds.

You must learn how to wield power, my son, because the Sakura family is

more powerful as each day passes.

The soul is the seat of power.

The way to act is to be.

The man who acts without his center is a leaf in the wind.

Are you a leaf in the wind, my son?

I will not disappoint you again, father.

Good. And now I will give you a chance to prove that.

Look at that silver case behind you on the rocks.

This case must get to its destination safely.

Within it is a power few on Earth possess.

A power for you and the future of the Sakura.

Be aware of that, my son. This time, there must be no mistakes.

When is the pickup?

In two days.

You must oversee every detail.

You will not know the transport agents. And remember, no weapons.

The Americans have sent an operative to recover the case. Colonel Slater. And

they are watching our other operations closely.

You must not fail.

One more thing.

The heart is full of trickery. In your affairs with this dancing girl, be

careful. It is dangerous to have one who is not one of us. So close.

Get this stuff. Get this.

The elixir of the evening for a little experimentation.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, very good.

You want some? Ah, baby.

Well, hey there, buddy.

Welcome to the party.

Relax.

There's plenty for both of us. No problem.

You and I could have a party that'll knock your socks off.

Party time.

Don't take it so seriously.

Baseball fan, huh?

Oh,

yeah, me too.

Yeah.

I've got to be kidding.

Huh? Who's going to know, right?

Babe Ruth.

Here you go.

Okay.

I promise you, it won't happen again.

I hope not.

Well, what's next?

Him get together?

What about it?

Think about it.

You guys are too much.

Didn't you say... I said watch out for that girl.

She's hurt.

Almost. Stupid pig.

I told you to do something. One is one. Two is two. Got it?

How's it going over there?

Almost.

Hurry up and go.

Yes. Go.

Bravo. Now that is a lot different than what I saw the other night.

What are you doing here?

Well, you remind me of someone I used to know. How'd you get in here?

I danced.

Chen! Chen, get this guy out of here.

Well, you don't understand, sir. I'm the dance critic from the Pittsburgh Press,

you see. And that's something that I think you should know.

Now he wants to dance with me.

Okay, well, shall I leave or shall you leave?

Yeah, I'll leave.

Anyway, I was thinking you and I could get together. Oh, here we go.

Well,

I guess you'll just have to catch my review in the evening paper.

What? What?

What?

The night is my world.

It can't run away.

Yeah, I'll come back. I'll come back. Give me my hat.

Very tired.

Thank you.

Kiss you.

Thank you.

I'll come back.

I think you need some protection.

I don't need your protection.

A'Duo.

Go over there and see what it is.

Oh, fuck.

About this myself.

It's for you.

Father, you didn't have to do this.

What is it?

Thank you.

I like the smell on you.

Here.

You do it.

Melon, that's not all I want.

How's the war going?

It's almost over.

It's been three years. Is it safe?

No problem at all.

Where's your brother?

He's by the river.

Don't mess around this time.

And don't use any weapons.

Got it?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

How are you going to do it for me?

If you mess up, I'll put my face out.

I'll give you another chance.

If you mess up again, you'll die.

Mellon, not you!

Later something's going down at the boathouse tonight He said to go without

weapons

Freeze! Don't move!

Attack! Freeze!

Don't move!

Get that light back on.

Go get him.

I want him alive.

Bye.

Where's the White Center case?

Don't ask me, buddy. Where's the White Center case?

Who are you?

Well, now, that's a starter.

Who are you?

Who do you work for?

I don't work for anybody, man, if I can help it.

Look, I don't like to play games.

Oh, well, now, for some reason, I find that hard to believe.

We all do what we have to do.

Gotta be more to life than that.

What do you want from me?

Told you.

You remind me of somebody I used to know.

And you got a great ass.

Look, whoever you are, stay away from Hanzo.

He's bad for your health.

Oh, you mean the guy in the Al Capone suit?

Is that your boyfriend?

Hey.

What's your name?

Mei Lin.

See you around, May Lynn.

Lose your bearings friend.

Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, I'm New around here. What about yourself? Are you a

tourist? No head of state in hiding. Oh, is that right? Yeah Well, tell me there

Willie, how did you like the weather in Tibet?

Fine fine husband Lynn.

Oh, she's fine

Brought by the civil case father And for that I am thankful so it always more

clever than I thought have you noticed anything?

Unusual or out of the ordinary in the last few days.

There's one thing something to of my man said but Stupid

great Nothing is too small to consider

They're talking about a white ninja.

But they're just a punk.

Ricky, why didn't you tell me this sooner? What else did they say?

They said he could fly.

Fly? And did they see his face?

No. What is it, Father?

Your grandfather used to talk of the white ninja, a renegade clan and a

dangerous enemy.

It was the only time I saw uncertainty in his eyes.

Yet he always said their true strength was also their weakness, compassion.

He said they could fly.

Truly, this is a... Oh, we know this white ninja is working with Slater. Now,

we have a new site for the pickup? Yes.

My men will check it out.

I chose it myself.

We must find who betrayed us.

I have killed a man who betrayed us, Father.

Are you so sure?

There's no one left.

Ah, my son.

There must be someone left.

May they have nothing to do with this!

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you come here to cause trouble, you're

dead.

Seems to be you've had enough trouble lately.

I'm not sure I understand you.

Your ranks seem to be thinning.

The government must be with it.

A tree trimmed.

But the gardener should choose the time and the place.

It's none of their business.

You come from a great family.

Why do you dishonor its traditions?

You know nothing of my family.

To be a shadow, first you must have substance.

The first lesson of a ninja.

What do you know about ninja, American?

Maybe nothing.

But I do know this.

Your world is crumbling all around you.

And pretty soon you'll have nothing left.

Including Mei Lin.

Conduct your triumph as your funeral ninja.

How'd you get in here?

I danced, remember?

I've been thinking about you.

I should blow you away.

Why? Are you afraid of me?

No.

I just wanted to talk to you.

What do you see in that guy?

A convo.

It doesn't make sense.

So what makes sense? Whores?

Well, not really.

I choose my partners.

How about you?

Who are you, anyway?

A drunk?

A drifter who spends his time playing basketball and sleeping with whores?

Nothing serious to you, is it?

What's your name?

Willie.

What are you running away from, Willie?

A woman.

Death.

I watched her get killed and I couldn't do anything to stop it.

And you?

Mistake.

Bad mistake.

Bye.

Where have you been?

None of your business.

Everything you do is my business.

We've been unable to locate the silver case.

Wait a minute. I held up my end of the deal. If you screwed up, it's not my

fault. I'm out of this game.

No, you're not.

I need for you to find out when and where they're moving out the next ship.

Then what?

Then you can leave with your new boyfriend.

What are you talking about?

You're getting sloppy, kid.

You haven't got any idea who he's working for. He doesn't work for

How do you know that?

Woman's intuition, or could it be because you're sleeping with him?

Your judgment is off.

What I do with my private life is none of your business.

You haven't got a private life anymore.

There's enough weapons -grade plutonium out there to blow up any city in this

world.

If that plutonium gets into the wrong hands, we could all be history.

You haven't got the slightest idea who your boyfriend is working for, and

neither do I.

And I aim to find that out.

I'll get you the information you want, but this is the last time.

Hey, what's the matter?

Hey!

Did you get that from the American?

Tall man.

It's baseball time.

The way of our people is hard.

In the modern world, the old values are forgotten.

A ninja must be a rock with the sea raging all about him.

The things most people take for granted, a friend, a lover, happiness, are of no

importance to the ninja.

He may play at these other roles, but he must remain aloof, loyal only to his

family. You know what you have to do.

you can over here.

How you doing, Willie?

Mei Lin is dead.

And who's Mei Lin?

A ninja killed her, Slater.

Okay.

A friend of yours gets wasted and you come into my office.

I don't get it.

Why don't you contact the local police?

Maybe I'll do that.

You might be kind of interested in knowing if I could get your phone

Slater.

Beats me, buddy.

Well, why don't we ask Hanzo?

You're starting to wear out your wealth. What the hell is going on here, Slater?

What does this mean?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Well, what the hell does mean anything to you, Slater?

Who said are you on, buddy?

Oh, God.

Thank you.

What the -

Come on.

What? What?

and courage, yet he always said their true strength was also their weakness.

Compassion.

Ninja, you have killed my son, but never again will you threaten this Sakura.
