Repack House TM

Please receive my introduction.

First receive ours.

Impossible. Your position is higher.

We will receive your words.

I am Kato Jiro. I was born in
Osaka and belong to no clan.

I am a free agent.

I specialize in work of an
international nature.

We are impressed
by your politeness.

I am Akiyama Masaru, a humble
kobun of the Tono clan.

We extend our best regards.

His English is good?

Where do you stay
in Los Angeles?

Usually downtown.

Is that your favorite
part of the city?

No.

I like Westwood.

You must return
to Tokyo

within four days,
Mr. Tanner,

and settle your
business with Tono

at that time.

If you don't,

of course I'm instructed to return again...

Only with more than
a piece of cloth.

Is this necessary
or even very wise?

Put it away.

I'm sorry.

Tono is waiting,
Mr. Tanner.

Yeah.

Harry, it's George.

Hey, old buddy, what
are you doing in town?

Nothing. Just taking care of sick friend.
What are you--

Harry, I got to
talk to you.

I got trouble,
real trouble.

The yakuza's
got Louise.

What?

If I'm not back there
in four days,

they're going to send something else from Louise,

and it's not going to
be part of her dress.

Have you been
to the police?

With that story?

This is a yakuza outfit
I'm dealing with.

What the hell can
the police do?

A hell of a lot
more than I can.

There's one thing
you can do they can't.

Really?

What?

You can see
Tanaka Ken.

George, I haven't
seen Ken in 20 years.

Tanaka Ken will do
anything you want,

whenever you say,
or he'll die trying.

You know that.

I hate like hell
to ask you, Harry.

I don't want you to put
yourself through this.

Have you seen Eiko?

Yeah, at Christmas.

I go by Kilmer house every Christmas,
you know,

have a drink and drop off a couple of little presents.

Soon as I come
in the door,

she always says,
"how's Harry?"

So once a year I tell her how you are.

How does she look?

Great.

She hasn't changed
a bit.

Swell.

I'm sending Al Hookstra's kid along with you.

Dusty.
You remember him?

Remember him?
I used to babysit him

when Al and his wife
went to the movies.

Well, he's
a big boy now.

He's my personal
bodyguard.

Nothing's going
to happen to me.

Harry, you know
these guys.

You think I can't
handle myself?

I didn't say that.
Did I say that?

You think I'm too old?

Ho ho.
You son of a bitch.

You old son of a bitch.

Hmm.

O.K., when you
get there--

personal bodyguard?

I'm going to fly
tomorrow.

We shouldn't be
on the same plane.

Harry!

Harry!

Hey...

Harry,
for god's sakes,

how are you, man?

Oliver, how are you?

You look good.
Here, let me take those.

Hey, I just can't
get over it, Harry.

You look damn near
the same, man.

Well, what the hell's
a few years at our age?

Oh, Oliver wheat,
this is Dusty Hookstra.

Dusty's Al's son.

Oh, my god,
of course.

Dusty came along
to hold my hand,

make sure I don't get
run over by a Honda.

Fine, he can stay
with us. Come on.

We were all great pals
during the war,

all through
the occupation.

Harry and your father
were the tough guys.

George and Oliver
were the brains.

I got a car and driver out here.
Where's George?

Didn't think we should be
on the same flight.

Dozo.

Oh, I can't.

Sure, you can.

You waiting till
closing time?

Yeah.

How do you feel
about seeing her?

I feel just fine.

What the hell?

We're two different
people now, aren't we?

Sure.

How's your game?

Can't play anymore.

Can't play?

Doctor's orders.

Aw, come on, Ollie.

It's the truth.

Had a coronary
a couple of years ago.

Doctor advised me
to lay off chess.

It excites me too much.

Just playing chess.

If you take it
seriously,

it's very exciting.

So now I play other
people's games.

It keeps me
out of trouble.

You got quite
a little armory here.

Rougher coming back than you thought it would be.

Well, I can't
call it rough.

Nothing's happened.

You don't see George
anymore?

Not much.

How come?

Who knows?

He's busy. I'm busy.

I teach the Japanese
American history.

He's out there making it.

He's tremendously
successful.

Everywhere I look,

I can't recognize
a thing.

It's still there.

The farmers
in the countryside

may watch TV from
their tatami mats,

and you can't see Fuji
through the smog,

but don't let it fool you.

It's still Japan.

And the Japanese
are still Japanese.

Ow!

Shit!

I barely touched it.

Oh, I'll get something
for you.

Try not to mess up
the carpet, will ya, kid?

See you later.

Hey, wh-where
are you going?

I'll be back.

Here. Sit down.

How old is that...
What do you call it?

A Katana.

It's just over
500 years old.

I'll do that.

Where's Kilmer
going?

For the zen master,

the sword is not to destroy
other human beings,

but his own greed,
anger, and folly.

The forger and the user
of a sword

should live in such a way

that it comes to stand
for the annihilation of...

Anything in the way of
justice, peace, and humanity.

It's sacred.

He's gone to see
someone he loves.

Kilmer?

Who is she?

Tanaka Eiko.

During the war,

Tokyo was swept
by a firestorm.

More people died here

than Hiroshima and
Nagasaki combined.

Her whole family
was wiped out.

Only Eiko and her baby
daughter survived.

When she returned
to Tokyo...

Some committed suicide.

Some became pan-fan girls.

Eiko, however, was...

More resourceful.

Her daughter needed
penicillin,

so she became a black-market
runner to get it.

About this time,
Harry became aware of her,

what she was doing.

He was with the military
police then.

One day in a skirmish
with some American troops,

eiko was nearly killed.

Harry prevented that.

Nearly wound up in the stockade
in the process.

Anyway...

That's how they met.

In 1949, the third year
of the occupation,

Harry was crazy about her.

It was obvious they both...

He rented an apartment

and took care of that child
like it was his own.

Harry wanted to marry.
Eiko refused.

She said she'd live
with him forever,

but she could never
marry him.

And then in 1951,

Eiko's brother Tanaka Ken
returned from the dead.

He'd been living
for six years

in the jungle caves
of the Philippines.

He thanked Harry
for rescuing eiko

and for saving
her daughter,

but he told eiko he could
no longer talk to her.

She had placed him forever
in debt to his enemy,

and it was torture for him.

Ken left his sister,

became one of the most successful yakuza in occupied Tokyo.

Eiko, meanwhile, would
no longer see Harry,

much less marry him.

So when his enlistment
was up,

he borrowed $5,000
from George,

bought
a coffee shop and bar,

and gave it to eiko
as a sayonara gift.

She called it
Kilmer house,

and she still
runs it today.

What about her brother?
Where is he now?

Tanaka Ken?

That's what Harry's come
a very long way to find out.

Sorry, we are closed.

Hello, darlin'.

Yeah.

It's me.

Harry.

Easy.

Thank you.

Excuse me a moment.

We just closed.

I know.

Jack Daniels?

It's all right.

I don't drink anymore.

They were right.

You haven't changed a bit.

Mama, we're closed.
I'm meeting...

Hanako?

Hai.

Harry Kilmer.

You remember him,
don't you?

Welcome home.

Then give me a kiss, sweetheart.

It's so good
to see you.

You haven't written
in such a long time.

We've missed you.

Nei?

Hanako, you're...

You're a knockout.

A knockout?

A very beautiful woman.

Thank you.

What are you doing now?

I'm a teacher at Meiji.

Yeah?

Will you be here
for a while?

Well, for a few days,
yeah.

And you won't go away
without saying goodbye?

No way.

O.K. I'd better
be going.

You look just like
I remember you.

Oliver took that.
You remember?

Yes, I remember.

How is Oliver?

Oh, he's fine.

I'm staying with him.

How's your brother?

My brother?

Yeah.

Ken, your brother.
How is he?

Why do you ask?

Because I have to
see him.

Why?

Look, it has nothing
to do with you.

We've been all through that a long time ago.

Then why?

Are you still afraid of my talking to him after all this time?

Is he that crazy?

I don't think it's a good idea,
that's all.

Well, it's not exactly my idea of a good time, either,

but I have to see him,
eiko.

It involves a debt
I owe someone.

Why do I always
have the feeling

that you're hiding
something from me?

Oh, you...

You've always
felt that way.

Yes, and I always
think you have.

Harry...

I--I...

I haven't told you
everything in my life,

but I haven't made
a secret of that.

Have I?

No.

Well...

God damn it.

I'm getting too old
for this.

Of course, I'll always--

always what?

Love me?

Then marry me.

Well...

Now that we've...

Got that over with
for the next 20 years,

where's your brother?

Where's Ken?

He's not living
in Tokyo anymore.

Well, he keeps just
a little apartment.

But his home is
in Kyoto now.

How can I find him?

He teaches Kendo
at the Kendo hall.

Thank you.

Oh, I almost forgot.

These are for hanako.

Thank you.

She will... Be very happy.

Harry, will you...

Huh? Just a couple
of days.

I'll see you
before I leave.

It's... It's very pleasing to see you again.

Yeah.

Good night, darlin'.

Good night, Harry.

Takano! What were you thinking?

To be as forceful as
possible, master.

Get rid of thinking.

Don't expect to win.
Don't expect to lose.

But, master, what
should I expect?

Master?

Expect nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing.

It's been a long time,
Kilmer-San.

Eiko said you
wanted to see me.

What can I do for you?

I need to
ask you a favor.

I have an obligation to
you I can never repay.

How long have you
lived here in Kyoto?

Eight years.

It's very pleasant here.

Yes.

All of Kyoto
is pleasant.

Yes.

Ahem.

Pardon?

Nothing.

I know tono
and his clan.

They are not
what I call honorable,

but they would not kidnap an American student.

Well, apparently,
Tanner and Tono had some business dealings.

Apparently,

Tono coerced Tanner
into smuggling some guns,

and Tanner can't
deliver the shipment.

As a matter of fact,
he lost it.

Tono doesn't
believe that,

and money doesn't
interest him.

He wants those guns,

and he's given his word that he'll cut Tanner's daughter up

in four days

unless he gets them.

This man Tanner,

he is a close friend?

Very.
He loaned me the money to buy Kilmer house

for your sister.

Are you police now,
Kilmer?

No.

What is it
you want me to do?

Well...

I would like you to
see tono, talk to him.

Tell him that Tanner is telling the truth about the guns.

He doesn't have them.

But he'll accommodate
Tono any way he can,

as long as Tono does
not harm his daughter.

I'll try, but I don't
know how much I can do.

I'm no longer yakuza.

I had no idea.

I have not picked up
my sword in 10 years.

And you've had no dealings with yakuza in all that time?

But they might listen.

Oh, no, it's impossible.
I can't ask you that.

You already have.

I'll need
a .38 for Dusty.

Second drawer.

Harry, I wish you--

oh, come on, Ollie,
everything's going to be all right.

George, do you
have rounds for a .45?

Right here.

Take it easy, Ollie.

Don't you guys realize I'm
not supposed to play chess?

That guy
doesn't like you.

No, not much.

So how come you figure
you can trust him?

Giri.

Giddy?

Yeah.

Giri--
obligation.

You mean, he figures
he owes you something?

Yeah, sort of.

Well, that can
work two ways, Kilmer.

If you ain't alive tomorrow,
he don't owe you shit.

I don't want them
to see you.

One of them's moved.
I can't see him anymore.

Take the window.

Watch it!

It's going to be O.K.

Just relax.

Nothing's
going to happen.

I think they've
been drugged.

Aah!

Oh, my god.

Tanaka Ken,
the man who never smiles.

It's been a long time, Kato.

When did you pick up
the sword again?

Tonight.

You realize that tono
will have to know.

I understand.

Oh, man. Oh, jeez.

Well, how is she?

She's going
to be all right.

They gave them both
some kind of tranquilizer.

She's going to sleep it
off by morning, he says.

God damn it!

I don't know what
to say to you guys.

I really don't.

This is the greatest god damned thing anybody ever did for me.

I'm afraid it's not
going to help you much

in your negotiations with tono.
Two of his men are dead.

I'll handle him.

The son of a bitch goofed,
and he knows it, too.

You'll handle him?
How will you handle him?

He already lost face,
didn't he?

He doesn't want
to lose any more.

Excuse me.
Mr. Tanner?

Right.

O.K., well,
there's no flight out till 12:30 tomorrow.

So I'll send
Louise on JAL,

and you and Dusty can go on pan am,
all right?

Well, the survivors
won't talk to the police,

but your friend from the monastery is sure to talk to tono.

The sooner you get out of here the better, Harry.

They take it very hard when an ex-yakuza interferes in yakuza affairs.

I'm sure tono
will take it hard,

and he'll
try to nail Ken.

You better get your ass out of here.
Him, too.

If they want me,
they'll find me.

I don't think
it's so serious.

Tono violated yakuza code by this kidnapping.

He can't move
against me

without the approval
of the other clans.

In this case,
I don't think he'll get it.

I don't think he'll
even ask for it.

I'm not worried.

If Mr. Tanner thinks
he can satisfy tono,

then it's
all over with.

I can do it.

That's it, then,
Kilmer-San.

Jeez, I ought to do something for him,
shouldn't I?

I don't want
to offend him,

but, I mean, I ought
to do something for him.

No, you owe him something
you can never pay,

and I'm real sorry
about that.

Jesus, would you
listen to this?

Oliver,
will you stop it?

I know
what happened.

You don't have
to read it to me.

I just thought you might like to hear your reviews.

Did you use anything last night besides the .38?

No.

You can hang onto all of your collection except the .38.

I'd get rid of that
as quickly as possible.

Maybe the car
for the airport.

Yeah, maybe.

Good morning, Harry.

Good morning.

Can I talk to you?

Well, we were just--
yeah, sure.

Eiko.

I don't
mean to be rude,

but could we
go for a walk?

Oh, we can leave.
We were just--

no, no, no,
it's all right.

I'd prefer to walk,
if you don't mind?

Sure.

We leave for the airport
in 45 minutes.

Airport?

We'll make it.
I'll be back.

But you just arrived, and
hanako is teaching now.

She'll be
terribly upset, and...

I know.

Eiko, what is it?

Ken came by last night.

What time?

After midnight.

He waited for hanako
to come home from a date.

Was that unusual?

Somewhat. He--

no, we don't talk much,
as you know.

He visits
when he's in town.

What did you
ask Ken to do?

Why, what did he
say to you?

He was just evasive,
like you.

You saw Ken last night.

Yes.

So, can you tell me

why he feels he's
in some sort of danger?

Did he say that?

No, of course not.
You know what he's like.

Well, god damn it,
he must've said something. You can't--

but I know him.
He feels he's in danger.

Hai.

He's not in Kyoto.

Maybe his
brother could help.

Brother?

Hai.

Brother? Where the hell
did he come from?

Wait a minute.

Is he yakuza?

Powerful?

Yes. He's a kind
of oyabun,

advisor to
all the clans.

Does he care about Ken,
about what happens to him?

I think so,
very much.

They just don't
talk to each other.

Ah, Ken has a great habit

of not talking to
his relatives, doesn't he?

Where can I find him,
this brother?

It's very difficult now.

He's in Kyoto for
a business conference.

Kyoto?

It is very pleasant
meeting you, Mr. Kilmer.

I have heard a good deal
about you over the years.

Oh, really? Who from?

Eiko, of course.

Even Ken
has mentioned you.

Ken once
spoke of you as...

The strange stranger.

Now...

How can I help you?

You think tono
will try to kill Ken?

Oh, yes.

But Ken is your brother.

Yes...

Then I take it you're not interested in what happens to him.

On the contrary, Mr.
Kilmer, I'm very interested.

What about you?

Why do you
think I'm here?

Why are you here?

Look, you're a man of
position and influence.

Your brother's life
is being threatened.

I just assumed that
you'd want to know

and want to help him.

Tell me,

what significance
does this have for you?

It looks
like an ideogram.

Very good.
Can you say which one?

Michi?

And what
does michi mean?

Uh... Hmm.

A road, a path
in the country,

a Lane, a street.

It can also mean duty, obligation,
even god.

When my brother spoke of you as a unique stranger,

I took it to mean that
you were a westerner

who held the values
consistent with ours--

that a man
pays his own debts,

discharges
his own obligations,

that they are all
that make him a man.

You have an obligation
to my brother,

and yet you ask me
to assume it.

I thought that
by coming here to you

I'd fulfill part
of that obligation.

You don't like Ken.

Does anyone?

He's a hard man
to warm up to, face it.

Yes. Yes, he is
insufferable at times.

Honorable men
usually are.

But Ken is also unique
in one other respect.

He is a lone wolf
of sorts.

Something
very rare in Japan.

He neither takes
nor gives orders.

Years ago, he broke away
from our family

when he was to become the youngest oyabun in all of Japan.

I'm ashamed to admit
that when he broke away,

I neither assisted
nor protected him.

He survived.

But as a result,

he's under
no obligation to me

and would
not accept my help.

Even if he would,
this affair with tono

has put me in an awkward
position as well.

You? How's that?

Tono has alerted
every oyabun in Tokyo

that my brother has interfered in his affairs.

He has let them know

that the only fit punishment for my brother Ken is death.

Tono is now home

hoping that I will try to prevent him from killing Ken.

Why?

He wants to compromise my position as counselor.

My policy has been one not only of maintaining peace

among the oyabun
and their followers...

But moving them into
legitimate business.

If he can say that I have let my personal considerations

get in the way of my
professional judgments,

then he stands an excellent chance of upsetting my policies.

Ken knows this.

That is another reason why he would avoid my help.

Well, what can Ken
do by himself?

He can go to tono
and ask his forgiveness.

Which would place him
under obligation to tono.

Yes.

What else?

He can wait for tono
to kill him.

Yeah.

Or he can kill tono.

What chance
would he have?

Ken is skillful and
any man can be killed.

Tono, or course,
is oyabun.

And if one is old-fashioned,
and Ken most certainly is,

then honor dictates that an oyabun be killed with a sword.

And if Ken does that,

then Tono's men are free to kill Ken any way they please.

He would be no farther
away from them

than the length
of his own sword.

On the other hand, you,
Mr. Kilmer, are not yakuza.

You are not bound to
kill Tono with a sword.

Oh, I can't do that.

Perhaps.

In any case,
Ken felt he had an obligation to you.

He fulfilled it.

You now know the consequences of his actions.

Whatever obligation you now have to Ken,
Mr. Kilmer,

if you don't feel it,
you don't have it.

What the hell was that?

Are you all right?

Fine, Ollie.
Everything's O.K.

Just unpacking,
that's all.

Bob, go on out.

It was my daughter's life.

I'm sorry about what
happened to your men.

I didn't want that.
I didn't want that to happen.

Maybe I can help with...
With the families, huh?

That's none of your business!

You promise me guns,
take my money.

You fail to deliver them.
I take your daughter.

Your friend Kilmer and Tanaka Ken take her back

and kill several
of my men.

Now I must face
the rest of them

and continue to
command their respect.

I know that.

To begin with, you must
tell me the truth,

even if it
humiliates you.

What happened
to the guns?

You never lost them,
did you?

No, I never lost
them, tono.

I lost the god damn money,
that's what I did.

I never bought them
in the first place.

I've been living,
uh...

Way over my head for about two years.
More than that.

Not so you'd know it.

I mean,
I put up a real good million-dollar front,

but I haven't had any money for a long time.

And the banks have been on my back real good...

So when I got
that money from you,

I thought I saw
a big chance,

and I took a flyer and some futures.
You know?

Naw, you don't
know. Anyways...

It's an investment.
I bought on the margin.

I bought too much,
and they sold me out.

It's all gone.
All the god damn money's gone.

Why didn't you
tell me this?

What did you
tell your friends...

This man Kilmer
and Tanaka Ken?

Tanaka Ken?
That's Kilmer's friend.

I just told them
you were trying

to extort some money
out of me.

What about Goro?

All clans know that
Ken broke his vows.

His brother
cannot protect him.

That's it then, huh?

Just a moment.
We'll take care of Ken.

There's one thing
you must do.

This man Kilmer--
he knows Japan.

He knows too much
about us.

Look, he's--he's halfway
to Honolulu right now.

He left on the pan am
flight at noon.

That's not good enough.

Well, what is good enough?

Here, let me do that--
that last one.

- No.
- Yeah. That's what a husband's supposed to do

in the United States.

O.K.

Husband.

Hai.

Wife?

Hai.

Children?

No. Ha ha.

Oh, that's too bad.

What's your secret?

My secret?

Hai.

What secret?

How you stay so beautiful.

Ha ha!
Oh, Oliver. Ha ha!

Oh, looking at you,
it's like old times, eiko.

Yes.

Kampai.

Kampai.

Hey.
I saw some guys without any little finger.

Does that mean that they don't have a wife or she's dead or...

No.

Well, what is it?

That's yakuza.

Yakuza.

Yakuza gangsters
have a ritual

in which they sometimes cut off their little finger...

Like this.

That's sick.

Why do they
do that?

If a yakuza commits
a very great offense

or breaks his word to his oyabun-- his boss--

an offense so great that it demands his life be taken,

then the only way that he can atone for his crime

is by offering his finger
as a symbol of repentance.

They really do that?

Today?

Hai.

Well... Guess you can't afford to commit too many offenses.

Did you speak
to Ken?

Yeah.

Does he know
we're here?

Sure.

Is he unhappy?

I'm on my way over
to see him now.

But... Is he unhappy?

Of course
he's unhappy.

He's been unhappy ever since he lost the war.

I keep trying to tell him
it's not his fault,

but he won't take
my word for it.

What's up?

Stick around and keep an eye on things,
will you?

I'll see you later.

A yakuza pays his debts...

A yakuza does his duty...

A man without a debt...

A man without a duty
is not a man...

If you don't care
about yourself,

at least let me take eiko and hanako away from here for a while...

Just a vacation.

Do you still love her?

That has nothing
to do with this.

I don't understand what's going on in your mind.

You know they're going after you.
Do you want to die?

My brother exaggerates.

He worries too much.

That's why he is effective at keeping the peace.

I will go back to Kyoto
and live my life.

Do you find that
so hard to understand?

What about your family?
They won't hurt them...

Even if they wanted.

The other clans--

fuck the other clans.
Suppose they find out you're visiting

like you were at 3:00 the other morning.
You know--

you know what's
going to happen.

Eiko told you.

Of course she told me.

What else did she say?

What difference
does that make?

Does she have your permission to go or doesn't she?

Eiko can do
as she pleases.

She always has.

That's a lie.

Eiko is afraid to breathe
for fear of offending you.

That's all that ever worries her.
Why, I don't know.

This is Japan, Kilmer.

Well, even for Japan,
it's strange.

In any case,
it's not your family.

No.

No, it's not.

All right!

?? Oh, my darlin'?

?? Oh, my darlin'?

?? Oh, my darlin'
Clementine?

?? You are lost?

?? And gone forever?

?? Dreadful sorry?

?? Clementine?

Another verse, please.

?? Oh, my darlin'?

?? Oh, my darlin'?

?? Oh, my darlin'
Clementine?

?? You are lost?

?? And gone forever?

?? Dreadful sorry,
Clementine?

Pardon my rudeness.
I believe you are Tanaka-San.

Allow me to abbreviate
my introduction.

I'm called Murata Minoru.
I'm a free agent.

I extend you my best regards.

I'm Tanaka.

Tanaka-San, someone will pay...

...To get rid of the American.

But we don't want
trouble with you.

He is family.

Bullshit! He's an American.

Family.

Someone will pay a lot
for the American's death.

I said family.

Some will even pay
for your death...

...But we want only the American.

My respectful greetings, old man.

Are you safe, Ken-San?

You've heard?

Everybody has.

Tono will have your death,
and no one will stand in his way.

Perhaps he could be stopped.

How?

Reveal his dealings...

...With the American
called Tanner.

Wheat was telling me about how the Japanese use the Katana.

When we cut,
we always slash out.

Japanese slashes in, you know?
Butt end towards the belly?

American saw cuts
on a push stroke.

Japanese saw cuts
on the pull stroke.

When an American cracks up,
he opens up the window

and shoots up
a bunch of strangers.

When a Japanese
cracks up,

he closes the window
and kills himself.

Everything's in reverse,
isn't it?

Last night I was watching
hanako making supper.

Yeah? So?

Nothing.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Who sent you?

Who sent you?

Uhh...

Uhh...

Tanner-San.

Tanner... Uhh!

Hai.

Hai.

Uh, Ken-San?

Hai?

This "giri."

Giri? Hai?

Uh, it means
"obligation," right?

Burden.

Burden.

It's called "the burden hardest to bear."

Yeah, well...

Ahem.

Suppose you don't
bear it?

I mean, no one's going
to come down on you.

No.

Well...

You guys believe in some kind of heaven or hell?

No.

Then what is it that you believe in that makes you do it?

Giri.

Don't worry
about that, Dusty.

What are you thinking?

About George.

George Tanner
is an opportunist...

A survivor.

He's always been.

But...

You used to like him,
didn't you?

I knew you thought
he was your friend.

He was.

Perhaps once.

Harry...

Sometimes
you're very naive.

Oh, hi.

Come on in.
I'll be right with you.

He's not badly hurt, is he?

He's very badly hurt.

I'm sorry.

For what?

George Tanner.

Yeah.

So am I.

Harry, I think you'd
better listen to this.

Oliver, why don't we just
forget about it, huh?

You'd better not
forget about it.

Dusty's got something to tell you.

When Tanner sent me over here,
it wasn't just to watch out for you.

It was to...
Watch you, too.

Watch me?

Did you
ask him why?

I knew why.

I knew, uh...

He was smuggling
guns for tono.

He even cut me in on a piece of the action.

See, um...

They've been fighting.

But underneath it all...

They're really
very tight.

What?

Yeah.

Tanner's been trying to help Tono take over this guy Goro's position.

And, uh,
he thought maybe if you found out about it,

you might make more trouble than you cleared up.

I feel like an ass.

O.K., hot-shot.

Better get yourself
out of here.

Yeah.

That's what
Tanner said.

I-I'd like to stay here now and do what I can.

How about it, huh?

We got to talk about
a couple of things.

Feel like a walk?

Is that a good idea?

Dusty's here.

You'll be
safe enough.

I didn't mean for us.
I meant for you.

We'll be gone
10 minutes.

Doesn't your side
bother you?

Naw.
It needed a little trimming anyway.

One of us should leave.

You mean this town isn't big enough for both of us?

I mean...

Someone should take
eiko and hanako away.

And it should be you.

Well, what
about you?

I can manage.

She's waking up the gods,
isn't she?

Kilmer...

Believe me...

It isn't necessary for you to stay.
Really.

It's not necessary.

Maybe not for you.

All these years...

What have you
been doing?

Oh...

Quite a few things.

Police work.

Private investigation.

Real estate.
Investments.

You've done well?

That depends on how
you figure those things.

Yes.

You have no family?

No.

Hanako.

Yes?

I love watching
you do that.

I'm glad.

Wait.

Feel how warm
the cup is.

Feel how it feels.

Now drink.

Aah!

No.

No, don't!

Nobody's here.
Nobody's here.

Nobody's here.
They're not here.

There's nobody here.

Uhh!

Aah!

Uhh!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Eiko, get down!

Please! Hurry!

Aah! Stop!

Stop! Stop it!

For god's--stop it!
Stop it, please!

Uhh!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Please! Oh, god! Stop!

Stop it!
Stop it, please!

Stop! Stop it!

Aah! Unh!

Get hanako.
We've got to go. Come on.

Ohh...

Hanako.

We got to get
out of here.

Eiko is at hotel?

Yeah.

Wheat's taking care
of her.

And Ken?

Ken's there, too.

When Ken saw hanako,
he just, uh...

He just came apart.

Were they Tono's
or Tanner's men?

It could have been
both of them.

I'd give anything to undo
what has happened.

Where can I find tono?

Tono is my responsibility.

You told me what to do.

I didn't do it.
If I had--

cease.

The question is,
what to do now.

Tono's death is necessary.

You wouldn't
have a chance.

Tanner is also dangerous.

And he's my responsibility.

Very well.

It's been a long time, Ken.

Too long.

If nothing else, this sorrow
has brought us together again.

I'm thankful for that.

Come.
I will show you what I can provide for you.

Ah. There is
one other matter.

Small,
but important to me.

I have a wayward son--
Tanaka Shiro--

who left the university
to become yakuza.

He is now part
of Tono Toshiro's family

and a great shame to me.

You would not
remember him...

But he now has a tattoo
of a spider here.

If you should see him...

Try not to harm him.

Perhaps he will return
to his repentant father.

I will not allow him to be hurt.

Before Ken dies...

There's something I think
you might want to know.

You may have been
surprised to hear

that Tanaka eiko and Ken

have an older brother
still living.

I am not Eiko's brother.

On the other hand,
neither is Ken.

Ken is her husband.

When he returned
five years after the war,

he found you
with his wife.

He was enraged that she was living with a foreigner...

And yet grateful to you
for saving her life.

In any case...

Ken is a tormented man.

It is eiko, of course...

But it is also Japan.

Ken is a relic

left over from another age,
another country.

I'm glad you told me.

Under the circumstances,

I felt you had
a right to know.

My god. Then...

Hanako was Ken's child.

Hi. I'm Harry Kilmer,
friend of George's.

He asked me
to stop by.

Tanner!

Tanner!

Why, you goddamn
son of a--

I checked with Oliver.

Eiko is fine.

Good.

You'll join them now.

I don't think so.

I'm going with you.

There is no way

you can keep
the Tono clan from me.

Or yourself,
for that matter.

I thank you, Kilmer...

But...
It's a futile gesture.

It may be futile,
but it's no gesture.

If I don't,
I have nowhere to go.

I did it, Ken.

19.

More in
the other rooms.

The water changes always,
but the river...

Tono!

I came only for tono.

Uhh!

Yaah!

Yaah!

Aah!

Yaah!

Aah!

Uhh!

Yaah! Uhh!

Ken.

Father... I have killed
the eldest son of your eldest son.

Well, the flight goes straight to San Francisco.

I guess that's
as good as anything.

At least there's no layover in Hawaii that way.

I...

Look, eiko...

I have...

No more secrets,
do I, Harry?

You'll never run out
of those, darlin'.

Harry.

Well, you should know

that the police
have discovered

through their network
of informants

that George Tanner
and Tono Toshiro

had a business feud
last night--

a most violent one,
apparently.

Now the matter
seems to be closed.

Tanner and tono tried to kill each other.

They succeeded.

How pleased
they may have been

with the success of their respective efforts,

we shall never know.

The police, at least,
are satisfied.

My brother's heart
is much too generous.

No, no, no! I forbid it!

I beg of you...

...Don't.

I have already lost a son.

I do not want to lose...

...A brother.

Please accept a token
of my apology.

My brother's heart is true
to others and to himself.

Where are you going
now, Harry?

Home.

You?

I'll go back to Kyoto.

I guess that's
a good idea.

Sayonara.

Oliver, hanako
was Ken's child.

What are you
talking about?

Eiko is not
Ken's sister.

She's his wife.

I destroyed his past

and his future.

Turn around, please.

Hai.

Harry.

What, are you--

are you all right?

Yes. But I'd like
to talk to you.

Of course.

I'm sorry.
I'm packing for Kyoto.

Uh--formally.

I'll get you
some tea.

Domo.

Harry-San.

Tanaka-San...

I have brought great pain into your life...

Both in the past
and in the present.

Please accept a token
of my apology.

If you can forgive me,

then surely
you can forgive eiko.

You are greatly loved
and respected

by all your family.

I accept.

Kilmer-San...

...No man has a greater friend.

Tanaka-San...

...No man...

...Has a greater friend...

...Than...

Mr. Kilmer, gate 11.

You can sit
where you please.

Have a good trip.

Let me help you.

Thanks.
