Eiji... Eiji!

Please, open your eyes.

Stand back.

Blanca.

You can't go. You should know better.

Shut up!

Let go of me!

Don't worry about Ash.

Look after him.

Eiji!

Let go...!

He should be fine.

Don't move.

Let me go.

Move over.

-Ash! -Stand back.

Can we have some privacy?

I've been ignoring everyone

I've been wandering around

I've been deceived everything At that time

Then you appeared in front of me You ignited my pale heart

We've been looking for each other From now on

Save you

The infinite sacrifices

The blurry ideals

I won't let it all go to waste

So I tore up the sadness built up inside me, into tiny pieces

Get away from me Get away from dark nightmare

Just now, chip at your heart We just fight for freedom

All the arguments, all the colliding

I wanted to save you, despite all that

Get away from me Get away from dark nightmare

We don't want to go through that again

The time is ripe Listen to the bells of inception ring

Get away from me

I was stupid.

I should've kept him closer.

Ash was shot, too.

So he really was alive.

Ei-chan! It's me, Ibe.

Ibe-san... Is Ash... Is he okay?

He's fine, he's being treated elsewhere.

So don't worry.

Move, or I'll shoot.

What good would it do to go? You're a criminal.

If they question your relation with him, they could make him an accomplice.

You knew this would happen some day. Why did you keep him close?

You can't even protect him, but you wanted to escape your solitude.

Shut up.

He doesn't exist for your salvation!

Shut up!

You goddamn bastard, damn you, damn you!

I knew you were Ash's acquaintance.

Yut Lung planned this, didn't he?

I hope you'll forgive him.

Wish I could.

It's over now for Ash and us.

He'll never forgive anybody who hurts Eiji.

He killed two of ours, too.

And we're traitors now.

It's my fault. I knew what he was up to, but couldn't do anything.

Forget it. Promise me one thing, Lao.

Don't question anything I do from now on.

Sing, what are you planning on doing?

Come on, Big Bro.

Let me handle this.

I didn't want to have to fight Ash.

I just thought how great it would be if Shorter was with us.

I wish I'd never become a boss.

Ash!

You're up already? Are you okay?

Yeah, we don't have time.

Let's get down to business.

Boss.

Two of my guys betrayed you.

I want to apologize.

-It's too late for apologies! -Shut up.

I know words aren't enough. I'm prepared to be punished.

But I have my responsibilities as a boss.

I ask you to wait until we rescue everyone,

if you're willing to show any mercy.

Ash, I ask you to fight me one-on-one.

-Are you crazy? -I told you to shut up!

I want to end all this.

No, you can't.

He killed our guys as if they were nothing.

That's all he thinks of us.

Stop it, Lao.

For him, that Japanese boy is the only human worth anything.

Why the hell can't you see that?

Are you all freaking blind? How can you risk your life for him?

This heartless coldblooded monster!

-Say one more word, and... -I'm out.

I can't accept him. Not him.

Sorry, Sing.

-Lao. -Hey, wait.

Let him go.

Yuen-Tai Lao is no longer one of us.

Glad to hear.

I'm sorry.

So, what do you say?

Okay.

Thanks, Ash.

I'll cooperate with the liberation plot.

I'll stake my life on it.

Why did you agree to it?

His eyes told me he was prepared to die.

I couldn't turn him down.

So he chose you as his hangman.

He's just doing what he can to save his guys.

Aren't you going to go?

You know, Eiji, he was shot in a bad place.

Don't. I don't want to hear his name.

You'll regret it.

If something happens...

I would if I could!

But I can't turn him into a criminal.

I guess even you fall apart sometimes.

Don't worry about Lao.

You just can't get along with some guys.

He probably sees it.

The repulsive monster, the real me.

Stop torturing yourself.

Ash, I believe in you.

Eiji, forgive me for not being able to be by your side.

Please, don't take him away from me.

Please, God.

Take me instead.

Excuse me.

You're back.

So I heard he didn't die.

Damn his luck.

Are you drunk, sir?

Me? Yeah right. I'm dry as hell.

You should stop. Champagne will give you hangovers.

Goodnight.

Didn't you want to tell me something?

Yes, but it seems tonight isn't the best time for it.

Then why don't I tell you something instead.

-Sit. -Mr. Yut Lung.

Sit! I order you to!

So, have you ever gone to Hong Kong?

A few times.

-What did you think? -It's a beautiful, mysterious city.

It's my hometown.

My father was Lee Hong-Lung, the most powerful of all overseas Chinese.

He controlled all that was light and dark.

But my mother was a poor street vendor's daughter.

She became his mistress when she was 10.

My father was 65 then. Grotesque, is it not?

My mother was "acquired" by my father.

He took good care of us.

He knew I'd probably be his last child.

But he suddenly died when I was 6.

My brothers came barging in.

They raped my mother and killed her.

I was held back in Hua-Lung's arms,

watching my mother being eaten by demons.

So, what do you say? Don't I have a right to hatred?

How about Ash?

Jeered at, trampled on.

Didn't he feel any hatred? Didn't he curse anybody?

I can see it.

His anger.

Under his cold beautiful face is the devil himself.

I know it.

It's not fair, trying to save himself.

He should know he can't be saved by such a frail thing.

I don't need your sympathy!

After we get in, we'll move in groups.

Leaders, memorize the blueprint and all the escape routes.

They'll be waiting for an ambush.

We're ready for it.

We won't die in vain.

We're all coming back alive.

Where are you going?

I'd like to end our contract.

You're going to Ash, aren't you?

The odds are against him for real this time.

He's jumping head first into a trap with a gunshot wound.

So you're letting your emotions control you?

I didn't know you had it in you.

He once said this, but I'm tired of playing the role I'd been given.

What if I said no?

Mr. Yut Lung.

You learned to hate,

but you couldn't learn to love.

I was like that, too.

But I didn't know hatred, either.

I had no emotions whatsoever.

I was the government's tool, just as you were the Lee's.

Around the time I joined Spetsnaz, I met my wife, Natalia.

But the government strongly opposed our marriage.

Her father was executed in the Soviet days as a political criminal.

For the first time ever, I disobeyed the government.

She was the first person ever to teach me human feelings.

I didn't want to lose her.

But one day, I was sent on a mission to Crimea.

And Natasha was caught up in a terrorist attack and killed.

A terrorist group in the Middle East declared it was their doing.

But it was too peculiar.

You thought the government did it.

Who can say? Nobody knows the truth.

Mr. Yut Lung. You must not take Eiji Okumura away from Ash.

It would only be making another one of us.

Unloving, unloved.

A sad being, living only on hatred and emptiness.

He chose to love and die rather than hate and rule.

You cannot be loved unless you love.

Ash...

He knows at least how to love.

Go.

Just go to Ash.

There will be someone who will care for you and love you.

Never!

You just don't realize it.

Goodbye. Do take care.

Grab your weapons. It's time to get going.

Damn, what's going on?

We're busting in.

Hey.

You're looking busy.

What are you doing here?

Want to hire me?

I got fired. How about 50 million bucks?

50 mill...? Are you crazy?

Okay, 500 plus a dinner.

Costs aside. How about it?

I guess we could use another driver.

It's a deal then.

So, where to?

The National Mental Health Institute.

Okay.

It's not this way. Where are you going?

Gotta make a quick stop.

Eiji is hospitalized here.

He's out of ICU and is in the general ward now.

Cops come around to check at 12:00 on the dot.

Go.

You may never see him again.

12 o'clock, got it Cinderella?

The magic will fade at 12.

I...

What have I done?

He was right.

I should've known it.

Somebody... Somebody's crying...

What a sad voice.

What's he so sad about?

I know this voice.

Sa-yo-na-ra.

Goodbye? What does he mean?

Are you going somewhere?

I have to say something.

Come on voice, come on.

A... sh...

Eiji.

Ash... Ash!

No, don't move.

Ash, where are you...

Eiji!

Ash!

Go Ash, you'll get caught!

Hurry.

Go!

Ei-chan!

Don't go after him!

Let him go!

Help me!

Where are you taking him?

-Please, stop! -Let go of me, let go!

Damn it.

I can't die now.

What's the surgery about?

It doesn't concern you.

Banana Fish.

Truth drugs are so convenient.

Colonel Foxx. This is irrelevant to your job.

You have better things to do than snoop around.

If you call yourself a professional, that is.

Of course, Monsieur.

I'll make the hostages say where your son...

No need, I've already taken measures in my own hands.

He will come tomorrow morning at 7.

I'm much obliged.

Don't make me regret hiring you this time.

I'm glad to be able to see your son again.

Be still or you'll bleed again.

There isn't any time.

This is bad.

That's why you were in such a hurry.

So, what are you going to do?

-Got it! -Great.

-Email Golzine and ask for a comment. -I'm on it.

Robert, I'm borrowing your car.

You don't mean...

-Papa! -What is it at this time of night?

This.

I'll be over in a second. Call my lawyer. Don't answer the media.

Noted!

Call Foxx.

That's quite bold.

It's the only thing I could do.

Whether I hand over the data or not, they'll kill the hostages anyway.

So Jessica and I came up with this plan.

It's risky.

The project must be suspended. The data was leaked to the press.

It'll be in next week's News Week.

So your son abandoned the hostages?

This was unexpected.

You guard this place.

Execute the hostages and send the bodies to him.

Make him feel the full weight of what he did.

There he is. It's Golzine.

He's coming.

A car crash?

Papa, get down!

Take Papa to some place safe!

Gregory!

Don't move.

You're coming with me.

I didn't think you were this foolish.

We meet again, sir.

To think I'd see you in this situation.

You've sunk quite low, working like an underdog for some punks.

That's what I was to begin with anyway.

I can't believe it. Colonel.

What a surprise. I'm amazed.

Doctor, get ready to escape.

Get me your research data and as many samples of that drug as you can.

Get Mannerheim.

You can talk to me instead.

So we meet again, young heir.

What are your demands?

Release all the hostages, now!

I see.

Here's my answer.
