How horrific.

It completely destroys all self control.

Ash!

Let go of me!

-Wait! -Ei-chan!

Eiji.

Where are they taking him?

I told you. He's going down the same road you did.

And then we'll use Banana Fish to make him kill you.

Please stop.

I beg you.

Just kill me.

I see it's hard, even on you.

But you're not getting off the hook that easily.

We've got plenty of time. I'm not killing you yet.

Not until you scream, begging me to kill you.

Let me hear you scream.

I didn't want to see that.

Does this mean...?

Lucky you. You're "off duty" tonight.

Papa likes composed little boys like Ash.

Little kittens like you should at least try and be cute.

Let me out!

Shorter...

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

6 men at the front gate.

4 at the east and 3 at the north.

And infrared alarm systems and security cameras.

He's pretty cautious.

Who's been inside?

I have several times, with Ash.

But only to the salon and back.

Draw me a map.

We need to plan where to attack and how to clear out, or we're dead.

We're not going in there just to die with you guys.

Dang, it's like we're talking with Boss.

You're going out?

That's right. The perfect ceremony for Banana Fish will be held tonight.

I must be there to witness it.

What about Ash? Aren't we finishing him tonight?

Don't be in such a rush. I can't pass up this opportunity.

What are you up to?

You'll see.

Anyways, I hope this ceremony or whatever doesn't take long.

I don't like being made to wait.

That's the same for me.

My shoulder still hurts now and then.

The same as your fingers.

Golzine is leaving.

Then, my guess was right.

Suk-Leui, tell big brother Hua-Lung that I want to speak to him.

I have information on a big conspiracy concerning Golzine.

But tell him not to tell big brother Wang-Lung.

And, hurry.

It's Golzine. Arthur's with him.

That filthy dog.

But this is our chance.

We attack tonight.

Ash... Aslan.

Aslan, come here.

Who's there?

Don't cry anymore.

Griffin.

Boys don't cry.

Where are you going?

I'm joining the army.

You're leaving me?

Even if I'm far away, I'll never forget you.

Griffin...

No, it's...

Eiji...

I see you still have enough strength left to glare at me.

You sure are tough.

That Arthur character must really hold a great grudge against you.

Don't touch me.

It's just ointment.

-Where are the men on watch? -I put them to sleep.

I'm sorry about Shorter.

Who are you to feel sorry?

Don't you dare ever say his name again.

Get out of my sight!

I didn't know you were vulnerable, too.

You're unbelievably strong against attacks toward yourself,

but you're really weak when it comes to your loved ones.

One day, it will get you killed.

But still, you won't be able to abandon your friends.

Anyways, Golzine has gone out tonight with Arthur and the others.

To witness a certain plan unfold.

A plan?

You'll see soon enough. Just wait for tomorrow's news.

So I'm going to give you one chance.

Though you can't get revenge,

you can at least save your loved ones.

You'll live to regret ever showing me mercy.

I'm going to kill you some day.

If that's how it's destined to be, so be it.

Good luck, Ash.

The next time we meet will probably be when you kill me.

-What is it? -Are you okay?

He... He's...

Yeah, the next presidential candidate.

Help me...

Somebody...

Save me...

Congratulations.

This is only the beginning.

To think you'd kill the next presidential candidate.

Oh well. I'm with you till the end.

You and Ash are truly like fire and ice.

Wild beasts have no ambition or gratitude.

The only thing they long for is freedom.

I guess it was my mistake for trying to keep him in a cage.

You're being awfully sentimental tonight.

Guests will be coming.

You should watch your mouth if you want to make your way up.

That bitch, you know?

Finally up, huh?

What are you doing?

How did you get the key?

We can talk later.

Hey, where are you going?

This...

It's an armory.

They're all smuggled goods. You can handle a gun, right?

You're talking to an Iraq veteran.

You two get out of here while I draw their attention.

What about you?

I'm saving Eiji.

Take me with you.

Give me a break, I can't take care of all 3 of you.

Let's leave Eiji to Ash.

It'll go off in 5 minutes.

What a blast this will be.

All clear here.

Don't die.

-Go! -Good luck!

Seems like it has begun.

Who are they?

What's going on?

Hurry, it's the basement armory.

Sorry I'm late.

We had been waiting for you.

This is Frederick Arthur, my protege.

I see, a future council candidate.

It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Smiles.

The honor is mine.

The White House Chief of Staff and Republican congressmen. The military, too.

Papa Dino. You're acting as the road guide for these monsters, huh.

So where are you taking them?

What a surprise.

What is it?

You must be tired.

Papa.

Ash has escaped.

What?

Forgive me, but I have urgent business to attend to.

Please, enjoy your night.

What's going on?

-The Lynx is out of the cage. -What?

Send backup immediately. Don't let him get away.

Damn it.

Die, you punk!

Is he dead?

So we meet again.

The old man said he wanted to plant a bullet in your brain.

Damn it, where is he?

Bring that Japanese brat here. We'll hold him hostage.

Backup's here.

Too bad it's for Ash, though!

I'll let you live if you answer my question.

Where's Shorter Wong?

He's dead.

Don't lie.

I saw Ash shoot him with my own eyes.

That can't be. They're best friends.

Ask him yourself if you think I'm lying.

The devil himself.

What now, Sing?

Don't tell anybody about this for now.

Not until we know the truth.

But if it really is true?

Then I'll kill Ash.

Eiji!

You bastard!

Ash's voice. That has to be him.

Ash, Ash!

Eiji, where are you?

Ash, I'm right here!

Eiji!

Are you in there?

Yes, I'm in here.

Get under the bed and stay low.

-I'm going to bust the lock. -Okay.

Ready!

Ash!

You're safe.

You're hurt really badly.

It's nothing.

Come on.

We have to get out before backup comes.

But Shorter... Are we going to leave him?

He's dead! I killed him!

You saw it too!

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Give me a gun. I'll protect myself.

There's no need for that.

One murderer is more than enough.

I'll protect you.

Never leave my side.

Emergency! You have to evacuate, now!

What are you on about?

The prisoner has escaped. It's not safe here.

He's escaped?

This house is like a maze.

Watch your back.

Get down!

Ash!

Do I scare you?

Never.

-What are you doing, hurry! -I'm hurrying.

Why now? I knew they should've killed them earlier.

So is that Banana Fish?

It's hard to believe that you created that horrifying drug weapon.

Who are you? How did you get in here?

It's you who did that to Shorter's body, isn't it?

Ash is coming for you. I know that for sure.

You killed his brother and made him kill his friend.

Right now, he's the devil himself.

How funny.

You made a drug of death, and now you're scared of dying?

This way, Eiji.

-You guys. -Boss!

But how?

The Chinese lent us a hand.

They're here to help Shorter.

I see.

Listen up. Dino must already know about what's going on.

We have to get out of here before they come.

Smash their cars so they can't chase us.

All right, let's do this!

Hurry, they'll be here any minute.

Damn, we have to smash this baby up too?

I'm riding that later.

Later? Aren't you coming with us?

There's something I still have to do here.

You were right.

We can't just leave Shorter here.

You won't let me go with you, huh?

You're being reasonable for once.

Because I feel the same way you do.

But be careful.

If I ever lose you too...

I'll go crazy.

Alex, take good care of him.

Sure thing, Boss.

Never let him be alone until I come back.

Y-Yeah, gotcha.

Ash!

Come back safely. I'll be waiting for you, forever.

It seems like we both made it out alive.

Hide.

-Ei-chan. Eiji! -What?

That means that's Ash's gang.

Please, don't kill me.

I can't move. Some Chinese woman pricked me with a needle.

She took the rest of Banana Fish with her.

What have you done...?

I couldn't be helped.

We don't have enough information on Banana Fish. We needed a brain.

I'm sorry, I was wrong!

No, don't kill me!

Help...

What was that?

Stay here. I'll go check.

Some kind of lab?

Are you Ash Lynx?

That corpse...

No...

Answer me. Did you kill Shorter?

Get lost. I'm in a bad mood.

I'm Soo-Ling Sing.

If you really did kill Shorter, I'll never forgive you.

Fight me!

Didn't you hear me?

Take this!

Kill me.

You don't deserve to yet.

You think I'll thank you?

I'll only say this one more time.

Get lost.

You'll pay for what you did to Shorter.

Don't forget it!

Damn, he's intimidating.

You're coming with me, Soo-Ling Sing.

Make these boys leave right away.

Who are you?

I'm Lee Yut Lung, the youngest brother of Lee Wang-Lung.

The Lee clan?

Does he plan to die with Shorter's body?

Body? You mean he's really dead?

Ash isn't that sentimental.

Besides, he has something else he has to settle.

Will you come with me, Sing?

Or do you wish to be executed here with your friends?

Why did you do such a thing?

If my brothers hear about this, you're in big trouble.

I've had enough with those old guys.

Execute me or whatever.

The rules can eat my shit.

Feisty little fellow.

Shorter showed respect

to the elders, I hear.

And I respect Shorter.

That's why I held back all this time.

I see.

So, how was "the Lynx"?

He's a man-eating tiger.

His pretty face makes him even scarier.

He didn't even see me as an enemy.

I hate to admit it, but he's too good.

You can accept your loss. You're not as bad as you seem.

It's no disgrace to lose to him now.

A hurt tiger is the most dangerous beast on earth.

Do you know

why Ash killed Shorter?

I'll tell you some day.

For now,

I'll tell my brothers that you saved me.

That way, they'll let you off the hook.

You're having mercy on me, huh.

It seems like he made it out.

Look. That's Ash's car.

It's the car Golzine gave to Ash on his 16th birthday.

Headed straight towards Manhattan.

Of course, that's his home ground.

Congratulations on getting back into the major league, Ash.
