Original subtitles

There must be a better way of communicating with each other.

We can't all argue at the same time.

Three months have passed since Professor Hamilton and his daughter were killed.

And what do we have? Well, I'll tell you.

Nothing. I have the best men working on this case. But so far, we have nothing.

The killer vanished.

I still can't understand how possibly a man could have passed through the dogs,

the heavy security, and killed the professor and his daughter, and stolen

formula and got away?

You can believe anything you want, Professor.

I've been in the police force for over 30 years.

Ten of them as head of the FBI.

I've dealt with all kinds of criminals, but I've never seen anything like this

one in my life. You believe it.

He's no ordinary human being.

That's if he's a human being at all. What do you mean?

Well, all right, then what comes next?

I hope that you all understand that we must find and destroy that formula.

The bacteria could be fatal for the whole world. We all know, Professor, we

know, and that's why we're here.

This project has been under maximum secrecy so far, but we just can't keep

that way any longer.

Sooner or later, we'll have to explain the truth.

Yeah, that's right.

If it does leak out, our heads are gonna roll.

We may have a chance to avoid it.

Oh, I do believe that he's no ordinary killer.

I also believe that we don't have time for any further investigations.

I want to play my last card.

No matter how absurd.

And if you'll all agree, I'll hire...

The most daring, cold, and deadly man alive.

A ninja. So then?

I think you're out of your mind, Senator.

But I'm with you.

I think we all agree.

But where is the ninja? In Japan.

Then we must send someone there.

I already have.

At this moment, two of my most trusted men are on their way to Tokyo.

Let's pray they find him.

You know, David, I kind of like the idea of spending a few days in Tokyo.

If I were you, I wouldn't be so happy.

We're not on a pleasure trip. Do you mean this man we're looking for?

No, I don't.

What makes you think we're going to find him?

We'll find him.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, sirs. May I help you?

Yes, my name is David Reynolds.

This is my assistant. We have an appointment with Mr. Maisato.

Oh, yes, that's right, Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Maisato is expecting you.

Please step this way, Mr. Reynolds.

Come in.

Welcome to Japan.

Thank you.

Oh, miss.

Go and get Kiyoshiro.

Yes, sir.

Please take a seat.

Did you receive our request?

Yes, we did.

What your government asked is not easy.

Very few people know about Ninja.

And those who know something refuse to talk about it.

But we've been very lucky so far.

Mr. Kiyoshiro is here, sir.

Ah, thank you.

Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet Mr. Kiyoshiro.

He is the one who will lead you to the Kogaru.

He said that you have to follow his orders.

You can tell him that's okay with us.

He wants to know if either of you carry any weapons.

Only this one.

He says no weapons.

He says he's sorry, but you'll have to leave it here.

Don't worry. It'll be here when you come back.

If you come back. We'll be back.

He asks, when do you want to go? Tomorrow.

What happens now?

We walk. Oh, so you can speak English, eh?

We walk.

What the hell is he gonna do I wish I knew

Now

We wait.

How long do we have to wait?

I don't know.

Maybe they don't know we're here.

They know.

You came to Kogaru looking for help?

Yes. You have come this far.

You must have a very important reason.

Very important.

The lives of thousands of people might depend on it.

But why did you kill my assistant?

If he had not pulled out the gun, he would be alive.

Kiyoshiro didn't have a gun, so why did you kill him as well? Why?

Anyone who reveals the way to the Kogaru must die.

Kiyoshiro, he knew that.

This is the Ninja Mantra.

Zen.

Zai.

Tetsu.

Jim.

Kai. Sha.

Ho.

Pio. Rin.

A true ninja must enlighten his mind. He must develop his physical body to

control the pain.

A true ninja's responsibility is to maintain harmony in this world.

Can you tell me what this is all about? Why are you dressed up like a terrorist?

Terrorist? This is a ninja's outfit.

A what?

Ninjas. They're a mystic people from Japan.

They always dress in black.

They have special powers.

Tell me more.

Well, my brother has gone to Japan to find a ninja.

When will they be arriving? Today.

Hey, Laura. Oh, he's here.

Laura?

Carla? Why don't you go and help Kenzo with his bags?

Good afternoon.

I'll show you up to your room.

He's not dressed in black.

He doesn't look very Japanese either.

Feel at home. When you're ready, we'll have dinner together.

Give it five more minutes.

All right.

Hmm.

How is everything?

Good.

Professor, look at this.

Very good Very good Professor

Yamamoto, Mr. Duncan has arrived Please carry on

Hello, Professor.

How's the formula coming out?

It's better than I expected.

Very good, Professor.

Because I already have buyers.

But I need more time. We have exactly 30 days, Professor.

No more.

And no less.

Well, sir, I'll be needing a lot of help with my experiments.

Professor, I promise you'll have all the power you want.

If you do your part.

In that case, I'd better get back to the laboratory.

Miller. Hmm?

Attend to the professor's needs, will you?

Hmm.

What about that man from Japan?

Don't worry.

I'll be taking care of him.

I hope you enjoyed the dinner.

Hmm. You'd better say yes, because...

She's the one who cooked it for you. Where were you born, Kenzo?

I was born in Shiga province in Japan.

My father, an American, went then to Japan after the war.

He met my mother and married her.

They both died when I was only three years old.

I'm sorry.

Would you like anything else? A drink?

No, thank you. I must rest.

He doesn't smoke.

He doesn't drink.

And I tell you, doesn't like many questions.

I told you before, you wouldn't find anything here.

Eegah.

Hey, you coming?

Yeah, right.

What's that?

What?

I smell something.

Everything in this goddamn car smells bad.

This is something different.

Well, what is it?

John! John!

There goes my car.

Ninjutsu, the ancient Japanese art of silent killing and espionage.

A ninja develops his physical and psychic powers up to a point that makes

almost inhuman.

Do you think Kenzo has these powers?

I don't think so. He looks like an ordinary man to me.

I know. Why don't we try something on him? What do you mean? We could prepare

test, and if he passes it, then we know he has the powers.

Okay, what do we do?

I've got it. Bring that broken chair and that bucket of water.

Okay.

Do you think this will really work?

Oh, I don't know. What time is it?

It's almost five o 'clock.

Good afternoon.

Hi. Hi.

Would you care for a cup of coffee? Of course he would. What a silly question

ask.

So, why is my brother not with you? He has a slight problem with his

Well, I think he should have replaced that car if it was a long time ago.

Well, he's thinking about it.

So, is everything going all right?

Oh, yes.

Are you sure?

You don't need to worry.

Thank you very much for the coffee.

It's okay.

Do you still think he has those powers? No. Why didn't the stupid chair break?

have to go? You might forget our appointment tonight.

Don't worry. Trust me. I'll be back here before 10 o 'clock. I promise you.

Make sure you don't forget.

All right. I've got to go now. Bye -bye.

Okay.

I'll come over and see you right now.

Bye -bye.

this stupid car.

Hey.

My car's broken down and I have an appointment tonight and I have to get

Can you help me out a little bit, please?

Sure, baby.

Get in.

Bang.

I don't know what the hell is going on in this city. A lot of people are

missing.

People are getting brutally murdered all over the city.

Another three girls just disappeared into thin air last night. Just

off the street.

And so far, this whole department has come up with nothing.

I don't know what you're all playing at. I got the commissioner breathing down

my neck. And this is why I'm coming down hard on you guys.

We have got to get some results very fast.

Now, I want you all to get every man out on the streets and make sure it doesn't

happen again.

Because if it does happen, I will go after your asses.

Kenzo, have you seen Carla? I have the feeling that something might have

happened to her.

What's happened?

She didn't come home last night. I'm really worried.

Please, Kenzo, you must help.

Please, Kenzo.

Kenzo. Okay.

All right.

Oh, there's a gun in the roadblock, Judy. I don't get it, eh? Oh, no. Seems

we get this every time it comes around.

We're off, yeah. That's right.

Here's another one. All right.

Good evening. Routine check, sir.

Thank you. You can go, sir.

Hey, right. Call it a night, yeah? Aye.

Holy shit. Who are you working for?

Huh? Who are you working for?

I don't know who the boss is.

Only know who hired us.

They Miller.

Miller who?

Henry.

Henry Miller.

So, where is he?

Huh? Where can I find him?

I think he's in...

How's it going?

We still need more time.

Duncan's not very pleased. We know we're on the right track.

We'd like to lessen the severity of the psychological transition in the trance

state. I hope you're correct.

What are her vital signs?

Subject condition is stable.

Pulse rate is regular at 76.

Respiration is 22, and her blood pressure is holding at 120 over 80.

Hmm. And what about her mental condition?

Subject is conscious, coherent, and calm. No anxiety or apprehension is

Good. The drug is taking effect, and it's looking good.

The dosage might have been a bit too high.

Prepare another one.

Try again in an hour.

Take her out and prepare another one.

Right.

Did you call the bank?

Yes. And what about the buyers?

We'll wait for Yamamoto's results before we do anything.

How much longer?

Not much longer.

It should be any day now.

I hope so.

I hope so, too.

By the way, what does LSD stand for?

Lysergic Acid Dithalidomide.

More commonly known as LSD.

Timothy Leary was its greatest exponent, but he just disappeared.

He left the scene in the 1960s.

And I know.

Professor Hamilton collaborated with him.

And now we have it?

Yes.

And we're trying to alter the human mind.

And condition it to respond to subtle persuasion. You mean control the human

mind?

You could put it that way.

Hey, that feels real good, that does.

That's good.

You're getting better.

Ah,

you're just there.

Hello, Mr. Duncan.

Hello, Professor.

Tell me, why are we so much behind?

We're very close to it.

But I've had to slow down the experiment.

Why?

Well, some of my men have had some problems lately.

Problems?

What problems?

And what about that man who came from Japan?

What man from Japan?

They brought a man from Japan to investigate this case.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't think it was too important.

That man must die.

That man must die.

He is a very ambitious man.

I don't care.

He says the man must die.

He must die.

Have you got that clear?

At the Fishers.

tenzo thank you all right see you

What can I do for you? Let me see.

A fishing rod?

I'm looking for an old friend of mine. We were together in Nam.

His name is Miller.

Henry Miller.

Miller.

Miller.

No. No, I don't know anybody by that name.

All right. Thank you very much.

Hey!

Hey. Hey.

Wow, look at that.

Hey. Want me to show you around, mate?

Look what's wandered down here. Can we take you on a tour, huh?

Can we show you the sights?

No. No.

You seem a little nervous. We just want to play, you know. No, please, no.

Why don't you play with me?

Who the fuck are you?

Kendall.

Maybe I should do to him what I was going to do to her, huh?

Why are you following me? I just want to help.

This is my job.

Go home.

Please.

Anybody here know Henry Miller?

Henry?

Hey, Henry!

Get your ass over here. Somebody wants to talk to you.

You're looking for me?

I'm sorry.

There's some mistake.

Take it easy.

This will fix him.

I'm sorry. I want to apologize about this afternoon.

Apologies are like the sunshine after the hurricane.

Beautiful, but useless.

I behaved like a child.

Don't think about it anymore.

I want you to know that I...

I'm okay.

She's getting back to normal.

Let's observe the patient's response.

Let her out.

Come on out.

Stop.

Turn around.

Stop.

What do you think of my new car?

Don't tell me.

You smell something again?

I like it.

Where are those people going?

The trout season begins in a few days at the Fisher's Lake. What?

The Fisher's Lake is 150 miles south.

It's the biggest lake in the area with a small island in the middle.

Used to be a Spanish monastery.

Now it's all in ruins. It's owned by a millionaire who only goes to the island

from time to time.

Hey, hey!

If you want to go fishing, why didn't you tell me?

Hey, I'm not going to hurt you.

Hey, come on.

Hey, I'm a friend of yours.

Come on now, come to me, huh?

Come on, let's have a little fun.

Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. Come on now, hey.

Hey, that's all right. See? Come on now.

Hey. Hmm?

Oh.

Come on.

See? That's okay.

Huh?

Look at it now, huh? It's so peaceful and quiet.

But you'll see in a couple of days when the mob gets here, you won't believe it.

Are you from here?

I can see enough from these parts.

Everyone here knows old Jeffrey.

Hey, have a drink.

Have you been on that island many times?

Oh, yeah.

Many times before.

But since that millionaire bought it, you can't get near it.

I see.

Huh? Look there.

What's that?

Let's go see.

What is it?

Let's take a look.

She must have drowned.

What a pity.

She's so young.

What should we do?

Go and call the police.

All right.

Hey, you finished it.

Still got to do another delivery, you know. Let's finish this smoke, then we

go. Okay.

We have to hurry up.

Miller told us to be back on the island.

And you know him, right?

Yeah, we all know him.

Come on, you guys, let's get going.

Come on.

Hey.

What time is it anyway?

Hey, you, stop.

What are you doing here?

I was just looking for some bait for my fish hooks.

Go on, get out. This is a private area.

Get lost.

Jack,

would you take this to the chief for me? Thanks a lot.

Sure. Hope he's in a good mood.

Listen,

David, I really try to keep a low profile on this.

I'm only asking you to hold on for a few more days. That's all.

That's all?

Okay, Jack, just don't touch anything till I arrive.

They found another dead girl.

This time at Fisher's Lake.

Not the fishers' lake.

I'll come with you.

Today has been a bad day for you, old man.

First, you didn't get any worms.

And you didn't get any fish, but you got your nose into something.

And you won't get it out.

Hey, you're here. Hi, Chief.

See anything unusual?

No, nothing.

You sure you haven't seen any strangers around here of late, huh?

It's a bad business, isn't it terrible?

Yeah, it's a real shame.

Now listen, I want you to keep your eyes and ears open. See anything? Let me

know. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay.

My God.

It's a damn shame, you know.

And she was so young.

Sergeant, take the body.

Mr. Reynolds, a message for you.

Hey, who gave you this?

The old man over there.

He's gone.

Let's go.

This place makes me nervous.

Me too.

Kenzo, are you there?

Kenzo, you there?

Relax, David.

Relax.

I'm sorry. This place gives me the creeps.

What the hell is going on?

Listen, the less you know, the better. What do you mean?

This is more dangerous than I thought.

I don't want any of you to get hurt.

But I... This is my job, remember?

Now I want you to take Laura out of this city before something really bad

happens to her.

This is really very dangerous.

You must leave this to me.

What is this?

That's what I was afraid of.

They want me so bad they will do anything to set me up.

They got Laura.

I'll go with you. No.

But she's my sister. I said no.

Now you listen to me. I'm getting sick and tired of the way that you...

I'm sorry.

But only a ninja can take another ninja.

Everybody, may I propose a toast?

Tomorrow will be the beginning of a new era.

Hello, Professor.

Don't you worry about the body.

It is probably under the water right now.

We'll find it tomorrow.

Don't worry.

I hope so.

Starting tomorrow, every time a world leader sips a glass of champagne, wine,

whiskey, or even water, he'll be sipping that drug.

What a lousy night.

Everyone's getting drunk in there, and here we are... Ah, job is to stay here

and make sure no one gets close to the island.

Who'd be crazy enough to try that, I ask you?

You all right, Professor?

Yes, yes.

I'm all right.

Please.

Please excuse me.

All right.

It's late now.

I think we should all go and rest, as tomorrow's going to be a long day.

Miller? Yes, sir. Take Miss Diana to her room and check security.

Yes, sir, I will.

Come on.

Here we are.

I'm going to go and get changed. Go on.

I won't be a minute.

What's wrong?

I must go to the laboratory.

You can do it tomorrow.

No.

I must go now.

I must go.

bastard that did this to you.

Mark!

John! Roger! Where the hell are you?

You're not very happy with my joke in the shower. Who the fuck are you? I

know how the hell you got in here, but this is as far as you go.

Whoever did this is going to be sorry.

Miller!

Miller!

Guards!

Guards!

Duncan!

Duncan I'm here Duncan I'm over here

What

the hell do you want from me what the hell do you want from me

Who the hell are you?

I'm your executioner.

Professor, what are you doing?

I must destroy this formula now.

But why?

He is here.

He? Who is he?

He's the ultimate ninja.

But what does that have to do with the formula? Only you and I know the

No! No!

I know you're here.

Release her.

Leave the island. But you... Leave now!

Please give me the senator.

This is very urgent.

Oh, yeah.

Come on.

I came as soon as I could. I hope we're not too late.

It's all over, Senator.

I'm sorry about your brother. He was my most trusted man.

As for you, I don't know how to thank you.

There is nothing to be grateful for.

I just did my job.

Well, we've nothing left to do.

Come on.

My private plane will take you wherever you want to go.

I cannot leave yet.

May I know why?

Senator, my task is not yet finished.

I don't understand.

The formula's been destroyed, and those who are responsible are all dead, or

arrested. What else can you do here?

Kenzo, what is it?

Please, do not ask me to explain.

There is no explanation.

I must stay and face my destiny.

This is my creed. This is the ninja creed of death.

As you wish.

And how about you?

I'll stay with him.

Hmm.

Let's go.

You had come. I knew you would not leave.
