Not picking it up?

It's Jessica.

She probably wants consolation money.

Shut up, you little punk.

Yeah. Hey, Jessica.

Who are you?

Your wife tastes delicious.

What a waste to break up with her. Here.

Max.

Jessica!

I don't ever want to see your face again.

But Michael... Save Michael.

Daddy, Daddy!

Michael, are you there?

Bring Ash Lynx to us if you want them alive.

Wait!

Touch them and I'll put a bullet through your brain!

Any arms here?

Just my father's shotgun.

Go get it. The bullets, too.

Ash.

It seems like they won't let us go back to New York so easily.

-You guys stay here. -But...

This is my thing. I'll give orders here.

Ash.

Don't look at me like that. Just leave it to me.

-You stay behind. -Why?

Something isn't right.

If they wanted to lure us out, they'd move the hostages and set a trap.

If making this place unguarded is their aim, those two would be in danger.

Protect them.

Ash!

Be careful.

Yeah.

Words of fear slip out like anger

in spite of how I truly felt inside

Maybe all I wanted was to not be alone,

with you by my side

These train of thoughts linger as darkness falls in time

In too deep inside these streets aligned

It makes me wonder how I even got myself here

in the first place?

To find it, and lose it

Get lost in this moment

Fate somehow brings me hope inside my heart

Anger, happiness, and sadness won't mean a thing when

Fate somehow brings me hope inside my heart

Inside my heart

Inside my heart

Get a hold of yourself. They're depending on you.

Damn it.

I'm going to kill them, damn it.

Those filthy bastards, how could they?

Isn't there anything we can do besides just wait?

Let's lock the house down. You go upstairs.

Okay.

You have to give it to Ash.

To observe so much, amidst such chaos.

So it was you...!

But even he couldn't detect that you were a double-crosser.

How grateful of him to leave you behind to make my job easier.

Now, let's put you to use, shall we?

Shorter Wong.

The police?

-Jessica, Michael! -Hey, you can't...

-Daddy! -Michael, I'm so relieved.

You're safe.

Jessica.

Come with me, Michael. Your daddy and mommy need to talk.

I was scared... I was so scared.

They just came crashing in.

Mommy tried to hide me in the kitchen, and then they got mad.

And then...

I'm sorry for making you remember all that.

Did your mom call the cops?

George did. He was on the phone with Mommy.

So that's why they ran.

Were they white or black?

They weren't either.

Ibe-san?

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Ibe-san!

What did you do!

He can't move anymore.

He can't see, he can't hear.

He can't move a single finger.

He's just a living doll now.

But not this man.

He can see and hear. In other words, he's watching all this.

Your betrayal, too.

Tell Ash this.

To come to Lee Wang-Lung in New York.

If he doesn't, this boy will become another one of Golzine's toys.

He won't go home alive.

Nor in any human-like form.

Your car has arrived.

Let's go.

I'm sorry, Ibe-san, but believe me when I say this.

I'll die before I let them lay a finger on Eiji.

I promise you.

Banana Fish, huh.

I see how such a drug could cause such a commotion.

Interesting.

I wonder if that's why my brother sent me here.

Or maybe...

Ash, why are we hurrying back?

Chinatown sold us out.

I knew Yau-Si was a spy.

Yeah, but Shorter's with them.

I'm sure he'll find a way to stop him.

Eiji, Ibe!

Shunichi! Are you okay?

What happened? Where's Eiji and Shorter?

Damn it.

-Where are you going? -Chinatown!

Where else would they be?

Wait, Shunichi's trying to talk.

Not... there...

Good work, Yut Lung and Shorter Wong.

I will tell Wang-Lung about your notable effort.

Your future is secure now with us.

Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not leaving his side.

Nor am I going to ever join you!

It seems like his conscience is eating him up.

For betraying his best friend.

It seems like we have some guests.

Arthur!

Hey, long time no see.

So you've finally become a lowly dog, huh.

Watch your mouth.

I'm not a cheap hoodlum like you anymore.

Yeah, that's why I called you a dog.

You licked Golzine's feet and begged to be taken in.

That's why everyone chose Ash. And not you!

You'll never be better than Ash.

You'll come to realize that sooner or later.

What a loud mouth.

I can't care less. Just hand the boy over.

Over my dead body!

Sorry, but Papa Dino doesn't want a stray Chinese cat.

He wants a black-eyed Japanese cat.

He saw his picture and liked what he saw.

Ash will suffer when he hears about it.

How this boy will go through the same hell as he did because of him.

When that happens, we'll see if I still can't be better than him.

Try to take him away from me, and I'll rip his throat open.

What?

I'll follow right after you. I won't let you go alone, Eiji.

Dino won't like it if you let his precious toy die.

Don't be rude.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

Laugh if you want. What's it going to be, Arthur?

Dear me. He actually means it.

Let him have his way on my behalf.

I'll explain everything to big bro Wang-Lung and Mr. Golzine.

-A wheelchair. -Don't touch him.

We don't need one.

What's wrong? You're rather emotional today.

It's nothing. I'm just a little tired.

You're as beautiful as ever.

I know you're kin but you make my heart flutter.

You're looking more and more like her.

That woman who corrupted Father's heart.

I still remember clearly the day she died.

I was still 15 then.

You look just like her.

I remember it well, too. Even though I was just 6.

She shed tears through her eyes and blood through her chest.

Do you resent it?

It's all in the past.

Take it easy, Shunichi.

New York...

To Chinatown...

To get Eiji back...

Then it really was Shorter.

Yau-Si is behind it all.

I can't believe it. Shorter betrayed us?

He's Chinese, too. He must've suffered.

I should've been more careful.

He has a sister in New York.

So that's how it is.

So we have 2 enemies now.

Wang-Lung will pay for this.

Who's there?

I know you're there. Come out.

I'm in a really bad mood right now.

Come out, or I'll kill you!

Wait, don't shoot.

Who are you?

You tell me. Breaking into my house like this.

-What did you say? -So you're...

I'm Alexis Dawson.

I see. Fine.

Dawson has showed up at his home.

I suppose he's joined up with the boy and the journalist.

But please do not worry, Senator Kippard.

Fine, I'll let you take care of that.

So tell me. Is it really fit for use?

All that's left to do is the field test, Colonel Holstock.

Human experimentation, huh.

Don't mess it up like last time.

We wrote it off as suicide then, but we can't anymore.

Don't worry, it's been perfected.

Not like the former prototype.

We've already chosen a subject

to test it on.

Eiji, forgive me.

I've never regretted anything as much as I do now.

If Golzine tries to do anything funny...

I'll set you free before he gets a chance to.

This antidote works on most muscle relaxants.

Banana Fish...

You made it, didn't you?

Are you one of the guys with my younger brother, Abraham?

My brother was drugged by it in Iraq.

He totally lost it and was shot dead by your brother.

What?

I was there when he was drugged.

He was my best friend.

We have the right to know.

Hey.

I don't have time to sit around and chat.

Ash.

The guys your brother has joined up with have kidnapped my friend.

Fine.

Come with me.

Where've you been?

Some strange men had been following me the past few months.

So I'd hidden away at a condo.

But I got an alert that my computer was hacked.

But that computer is a decoy. It only has what Abraham already knows.

A hidden room?

I guess they overlooked it.

Ever since the day I created it, I was afraid something like this would happen.

So you made this room.

It all started 20 years ago.

I'd just started out as a medical staff, and Abraham was a student.

We came up with the idea to make money by making drugs.

And we created "it" by accident.

The devil itself.

Thank you for coming, Mr. Arthur.

Mr. Golzine's men will be here soon to pick you up.

Good work, Shorter Wong.

You two, a word.

So now, tell me. What is Banana Fish?

It means nothing to us.

An alkaloid-based organic compound that paralyzes autonomic nerves.

It causes a heart failure-like symptom.

It doesn't leave a trace. Perfect for assassinations.

Are you positive?

You're the one that made me train in this area of expertise.

Why didn't you obtain the data?

Ash never gave me the chance to.

You know as well as I do that he's not that easy.

That's exactly why I sent you.

Are you telling me that even you were no match for him?

You better not be lying.

Why would I lie?

I could break your thin neck anytime I wish to.

Keep that in mind.

Hua-Lung, take those 2 to Golzine for me.

Yes.

You go with him.

He knows nothing about you.

Get close to him and find out what Golzine's really after.

Don't worry, I won't let him kill you.

I still have a lot more uses for you.

He knows nothing, huh?

The same goes for you, Wang-Lung, my dear big brother.

Banana Fish isn't just some cheap assassination drug.

If my presumption is correct...

-A nightmare. -Nightmare?

Drugs like LSDs induce hallucinations.

If the user's mental state is unstable, it could cause a "bad trip."

Banana Fish induces "bad trips" to anyone who uses it.

No human can escape from that nightmare.

Fear, hatred... It amplifies all nervous emotions.

But who'd buy a drug if it makes the user go crazy after one single use?

What would the military ever want it for?

If that was all it does, it'd only be a bad hallucinogen.

The problem is that it makes the user susceptible to external stimuli.

Have you heard of drug hypnosis?

A type of hypnosis using drugs made by the former USSR.

It was made to force people into spying and assassinating.

But I heard it wasn't reliable and couldn't be put to use.

Banana Fish makes it 100 percent reliable.

It could be a weapon depending on how it's used.

Give it to a person and tell him that immigrants are pests and should be killed,

and he'll start killing immigrants.

-No... -Impossible.

Abraham was the first to realize that.

Our friend tried the newly created drug and died.

I got scared and disposed of the drug,

but Abraham had hidden a stash.

And at Iraq, he tested it on POWs and soldiers.

He used them as lab rats?

His fellow men...

Griff, too.

All because of what you made, Griffin, Skip, everyone else...

Griffin was my only brother.

He suffered from endless nightmares...

But now I know what the old man is up to.

He's joined hands with your brother to make a deal with the US government.

We are ready now. This is my youngest brother.

He will be joining you.

Let us go then.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

What a strange boy. You're about to be held hostage, you know.

I know very well that it's no use to try to disobey my brothers.

Whatever.

If I cannot escape, I shall take them down with me.

I will never forget how my brothers killed my mother.

I will destroy them.

They have scorned and contemned me, but my time will come.

Holy hell...

I realized what Abraham was doing and confiscated the drug.

I was going to destroy it for good. But...

But you didn't.

I'm a scientist.

I couldn't bring myself to destroy a new discovery.

Wait!

Let go of me! He deserves it.

That's not it.

Let me do it!

Shunichi.

This one's for Eiji.

Dino Golzine's great conspiracy, huh.

If the government backs him up, he'll be the top dog of the underworld.

Damn it.

Everybody's here now.

I'm taking you all to New York.

-What a convoy. -You watch your mouth, punk.

Shunichi!

Why are my hands behind my back and not them?

I can't even take a piss.

Nice rod you got there.

You punk.

You'll kill him!

No, Mr. Golzine has claimed the right to do that.

Oh yeah, Max.

Your wife is pretty hot.

So you're the one...

Max!

You'll pay for what you did to her.

Take them away.
