Speaker A
There's no perspective. Why? Why? Why did you do it? [music] Hold it right here. I'm not getting any closer to that place.
Speaker A
Hey, where the hell are we? Relax, fella. Everybody out into the line. Hey, listen to me. What are you trying to pull? My people paid for the full ticket for this trip.
Speaker A
Start walking 2 km down the road. Go move it. [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [music] [music] Heat.
Speaker A
[music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [bell] [music] [music] Keep going.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] [applause] Heat up [cheering] here. [cheering] Thank you so much.
Speaker A
That's the kind of girl I'd like to settle down with. Pretty, but not too pretty.
Speaker A
Good body, nice smile, good in bed. You can tell that by the way she moves.
Speaker A
Maybe you should ask her out. I owe it to myself. It's time for me to get something meaningful going. I'm tired of dating these space cadets.
Speaker A
What did you call me? You're right about the smile. I'll let you know about the rest later.
Speaker A
Hey Jay, you better apologize to me. What for? I said that for your benefit.
Speaker A
I knew you were standing there. You really expect me to believe that? Yeah. I enjoyed your performance very much.
Speaker A
Thank you. Welcome. You were shot down right in the street. There's definitely a terrorist gang that did it. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker A
When did that happen? Oh, sometime this morning. Did the police catch any of them?
Speaker A
Well, somebody got taken into custody, but they didn't give his name. He wasn't an American, was he?
Speaker A
Why? Oh, I don't know. That is... I don't know why I asked such an odd question. People tell me I'm psychic. I sure am looking forward to Mexican food.
Speaker A
Uh, table for two. Your name, sir? Scott James. [music] [music] [music] Kill the family.
Speaker A
I can't figure out whether tequila is the only thing I can drink or it's the salt that keeps me from throwing up.
Speaker A
Just as long as it keeps me out of the bathroom with porcelain worship. You're not obligated to tell me what's bothering you, but you're not obligated to sit here and pretend that it's wrong either.
Speaker A
Thank you. I'm glad you asked me out. So am I. That's a complete lie. But who knows?
Speaker A
Maybe if I quit acting so dingy, it'll turn out to be the truth. I like the way you incorporated the martial arts into your dance tonight.
Speaker A
How'd you get involved? The martial arts? I'm not. My brother studied for years. It was something I grew up with.
Speaker A
Well, does he compete? No, I imagine he could if he wanted to. He studied overseas for a while, but sure that doesn't impress someone like you.
Speaker A
Did me. I guess it still does or I wouldn't have mentioned it. You know what interests me?
Speaker A
Why you monitor yourself so heavily? Security. Having to live with my parents till I get a job doesn't help. Plus, it's hell being a dancer trying to get a job in LA.
Speaker A
There's someone here. I feel it. Feel it. I feel it. Not again. I just changed that bulb last Tuesday.
Speaker A
Where? Where? Where? Stay down. [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat.
Speaker A
[music] Heat. [music] Oh my god. Ninja. [music] It has to be. But they don't exist anymore.
Speaker A
Operator, give me the police. [music] They can't exist. Can't accept. Nobody knows except me and Sakura. Sakura.
Speaker A
Come forward. What the hell are you trying to do to me? Your first teacher.
Speaker A
Expect the unexpected and trust no one. In coming here for training, you have made a commitment beyond your individual causes.
Speaker A
You bastard. Whether they be political, religious, or purely mercenary. Son of a [ __ ]. You are now bound by certain codes. You prefer death to capture and nothing can persuade you to reveal the technique of your training or the location of this
Speaker A
place. If you do so, your family, sons, daughters, wives, brothers, sisters will be killed without regard.
Speaker A
Son of a [ __ ]. Let me... You're going to pay for this. You know, I've been thinking about what happened last night. It really burns my ass.
Speaker A
Wasted energy, pal. Look, you got your reasons for not wanting to fight anymore. That's your business. But don't get sanctimonious about it.
Speaker A
Sorry, that's a cheap shot. Just these terrorists. I just don't go for it. They weren't terrorists. A ninja.
Speaker A
No. What do you mean they weren't terrorists? You know that guy they caught in Paris yesterday as NY's brother?
Speaker A
Where'd you hear that? It's in the newspaper. Listen, you want to grab breakfast here at that coffee shop by the gym? I don't think I'm going to work out this morning. I'm going to go for a drive.
Speaker A
Hey, Scott, you saw worse in the war. A lot worse. I think you're just letting this thing get out of proportion. You only knew the girl a few hours.
Speaker A
It's not just the girl. I know the answer. Only you can train. Ninja. Ninja the Gora. Gora, you're my brother. Brother, [music] [music] you fine. Fine. Come on. Come. That's it. Don't get mad. Don't get mad.
Speaker A
If you're involved, you're involved. A carn's an empty terrest. I ought to take that down.
Speaker A
Beats me. What kind of a sob can kill a fine animal like that? This bastard though. I'm a merciful man.
Speaker A
If my first shot's not clean, I'll grant almost any man a second bullet, except this bastard. Him, I'll let suffer.
Speaker A
Father, you me talking like that. Why should it? I've heard it all before. Yeah, that's what puzzles me. You hear it, but you don't act on it. As much as you condemn me for living to kill, it's people like you who are paving the way
Speaker A
for others to have to kill to live. I ran into some ninja last night.
Speaker A
Thought maybe you might know how they come about being in the country. Hold on. I've got a pretty good sense of history.
Speaker A
If you saw ninjas, you're seeing ghosts. My interest is personal, not business. That's a mistake right there.
Speaker A
You, um, you see these ninja often or just when it's a full moon? If you hear anything, I would appreciate it if you'd let me in on it.
Speaker A
By the way, Rand is working for me now. I don't believe it. Oh, why not? Man only needs one good eye to shoot a weapon.
Speaker A
That's not what I meant. I know you're too happy blaming yourself, thinking he's sour on life.
Speaker A
Hell, he's so happy being out of that martial arts competition horseshit, it isn't even funny. Besides, the way he sees it is getting hurt.
Speaker A
It's the Lord's will. And looking at it that way, you blaming yourself only amounts to you buttoning in and taking credit.
Speaker A
You've always been good at convenient attitudes. I'm not. And you're always a gloomy sob. And I'm not.
Speaker A
Hey man, you, uh, you finished working out already? Yeah, I got something to do. I might be back later.
Speaker A
See that, um, that friend of yours that was observing yesterday, was that Scott James? Yeah, man. He could put everybody here to shame. Uh, me included.
Speaker A
No, he doesn't compete anymore. You mean after all this time? Hell, man. I saw that fight. Look, that guy getting hurt is no reason for him not to compete.
Speaker A
Yeah, well, you tell him that. I already tried. I'll see you later. Side here.
Speaker A
Good lord. Be a hell of a lot better if they was using real people.
Speaker A
They will. Hello. Hi. I have a bit of a problem. Can you help me?
Speaker A
I can try. That's not a very definite answer. Well, you haven't told me what the problem is.
Speaker A
Well, it's... it's rather idiotic. Tolerance, my middle name. Good. It... It's in the back. It seems that my right rear wheel is trying to get to heaven and I'm trying to get to LA.
Speaker A
Oh boy. How did you manage to do that? U courage planning. Actually, I got on the wrong road and I was trying to turn around and my accelerator jammed.
Speaker A
Well, maybe I can angle in behind you and give you a push, provided our bumpers match.
Speaker A
Oh, that would be lovely. [cough] H. [clears throat] Uh, incidentally, wouldn't it be a lot safer if you drove my car and I drove yours?
Speaker A
Not for you, maybe. Well, you're a stranger. I'd be a bloody fool to think of you before myself.
Speaker A
Keys are in it. Aren't you giving in too easily? Just trying to fall all over myself to please a beautiful woman.
Speaker A
That
Speaker A
4120 Ashton, stop by for a drink. I'd like that. Fair enough. Good. Thank you.
Speaker A
You're welcome. Nunchuck sticks. Headweiler. It's okay. What are you doing here? You ended up with my keys.
Speaker A
Oh, I'm mortified. No need. No harm done. Why don't you dismiss the taxi and I'll drive you back to your car.
Speaker A
Aren't you jumping the gun? [applause] I don't understand. How do you know I'm right about the keys?
Speaker A
I don't. Leela, could you bring me my purse, please? You take birth. Come on, baby.
Speaker A
Would you like to come in? Uh, no thanks. Would you come inside if I said I took your keys deliberately?
Speaker A
Probably. [gasps] I wish I had. Thank you. Let's see. Ah, [sighs and gasps] please let me take you back. It's only proper.
Speaker A
One condition. You don't drive. I do. Your name's Johan, right? No. Yeah. Girl in Nancy Bell's dance said it was. She used to work with her brother.
Speaker A
What do you want to talk to you about an assignment? Well, I have a job.
Speaker A
Yeah, I know. I said an assignment. Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye. Hey, come on. Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [bell] [music] Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] ought to be more careful who you talk to. It's easy to get mixed up in some bad company. Well, you don't look so whistle clean yourself. [laughter] Add a couple of knife wounds, some booze, and dump them in that flea bag
Speaker A
hotel over on Canel Street. While I enlighten this young man as to the complete uselessness of calling the police, my long friendship with his buddy Scott, and in general some intelligent information, why haven't you asked me out?
Speaker A
Maybe I know you expected. So why don't you ask me something I don't expect?
Speaker A
Who owns this car? I do. It's not what the registration says. What were you doing on the road to McCarron's place?
Speaker A
Like who? [music] Yeah. [music] Heat [music] [music] [music] up here. [music] [music] [music] [music] No, no, don't stop.
Speaker A
I want to know who they are. I know who they are. [sighs] You said you know who they are.
Speaker A
Yes. My father owned a number of publishing concerns in Europe and um about six months ago he was killed by terrorists and as the aist to his empire I uh I began receiving threatening letters demanding that I change editorial
Speaker A
policies or else I'd be next. I refused, of course. Uh, I was advised that I should leave Europe and, uh, live here for a while.
Speaker A
Well, why didn't you hire a bodyguard or something? I did, too. They were driving the limousine.
Speaker A
I suppose I shouldn't complain. Most people have precious little to live for. Certainly nothing to die for.
Speaker A
I'm sorry I'm being morbid. And uh I'm also sorry that you've been dragged into all of this.
Speaker A
How about having dinner with me tonight? Does this mean that I've suddenly become the object for pity?
Speaker A
Concern. Thank you. Stop. If this were a hostile environment, you and you and you would be alive and you would be wounded or in jeopardy and you would be dead.
Speaker A
Only the body sleeps. The mind never sleeps. I know. I heard somebody. A car's man.
Speaker A
A Justine. It's not like him to cover up. Cover up. Why would he tell me?
Speaker A
[music] A field rat. So what? I killed a sucker before you even saw him.
Speaker A
Back to sleep. Guy nailed the field. I didn't even see him, dude. [ __ ] Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
[music] No, not yet. Thank you. Uh, sorry I'm late. Oh, that's all right. I never cared about time, per se. Just timing.
Speaker A
Would you like a drink? Got scotch, vodka wine. Uh, it doesn't matter. Well, let's see. Scotch is a little too everyday and uh vodka is not quite cozy enough.
Speaker A
What's your involvement with Marin? And don't say, Mac, who? The two bodyguards that I hired are Macar's men.
Speaker A
So are the guys who chased us this afternoon. And my guess is that you hired them, too.
Speaker A
the truth before even a single drink. I don't drink. Well, you have a personality. I have to manufacture one.
Speaker A
Come on. That doesn't wash. I know. I have the most confident looking cheekbones. Truth.
Speaker A
Well, originally I planned to hire you and Mac assured me that that was impossible.
Speaker A
Hire me for what? to find a man named Sakura to kill him. Why? Because he trains terrorist in the ninja techniques, the silent style of killing.
Speaker A
Actually, they're three men. Madani in the Syrian desert and Chromis in Greece. However, Madani and Chromis were recently retired due to the fact that they were killed.
Speaker A
Yes, I had something to do with that. In one case, I supplied the money and in the others, I uh supplied the information.
Speaker A
And what was the plan in my case? Well, I had hoped to entice you into taking a personal interest in things.
Speaker A
That's an insult to both of us. It makes me stupid and you a [ __ ] Well, perhaps that's why in a way I'm glad it didn't work.
Speaker A
I'm glad you're glad. And goodbye. Well, don't forget your integrity. Without it, you've come very close to being a rockart.
Speaker A
Sit. Stop it. It can't be true. True. Just teen is lying. Lying again. Not you, Zakura.
Speaker A
Not you. Not you. Hey honey. Where's the peanuts? I told you, sir. They're at the other end of the bar.
Speaker A
Story of my life. The nuts are always at the other end of the bar.
Speaker A
What do you mean? Nancy Bell wasn't an operative. That dance troop did a lot of traffic and she took advantage to courier money for a terrorist group that her and her brother were working for. She was just tapering off when her brother was
Speaker A
scooped to Paris and spouted everything to the cops. Where'd you hear all this? I did a little scouting around. ran into a guy who says he knows you.
Speaker A
Anti-terrorist named Mar. Thing I find hard to believe is Nancy figuring she could just walk away from a terrorist group like it was a volleyball team. I mean, hell, I know a volleyball team.
Speaker A
Wait, back up. Mar? How did you get to Mar? We were after the same guy. German [music] terrorist name. Anyway, Mar killed him before I could talk to him.
Speaker A
Then Mar [music] and I started to have a few words. AJ, what is going on with you?
Speaker A
What happened last night hit just a little too close to home for my taste?
Speaker A
That's fine, but it's not up to me or you to Who's it up to? The cops? The government? They can't do giant [ __ ] These gangs are transnational. Other countries won't even honor extradition.
Speaker A
I told you they were ninja. Ninja. Yeah. Talk about world class killers. Wait a minute. They've been outlawed for over 300 years. That doesn't mean they've completely vanished. Come on, Scott. I mean, we have to train hard, but ninja,
Speaker A
those guys used to have to pull a bow for 3 years before they'd let him use an arrow. That kind of dedication just doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker A
Okay, have it your own way. All right, look. What are you trying to do? Put me off.
Speaker A
It's better than talking when you should be listening. Yeah. Well, at least I'm not sitting on my tail like some people I know.
Speaker A
What is going on? This isn't like you to get It is likely. I'm just getting tired of holding it inside.
Speaker A
What do you plan on accomplishing by getting involved in all this? I don't know. Maybe nothing. But at least I don't have to worry about if I'm chicken [ __ ] AJ, you awful thing.
Speaker A
You better apologize to me. You know, I've been waiting out in that lobby for like Yeah. Yeah. Just a minute.
Speaker A
Remember you told me the old guy that adopted you said you could never go back.
Speaker A
What are you leading up to? Well, it's been sitting in the back of my brain for a long time. But maybe he's a part of the Yakuza.
Speaker A
Now I'm thinking maybe the ninja. There's no dark side to my father's nature AJ.
Speaker A
Okay, Scott, have it your own way. Hey, come on me. They're misdirecting. AJ is right. Right. I have to start helping myself.
Speaker A
Yeah. I'd like an assignment. Who's taking the orders? Okay. [screaming] More new recruits are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. If we do not graduate these, there will be no facilities.
Speaker A
Stop. This is a kill. This is a kill. that cripples. This kills. This is a disgrace.
Speaker A
The world is full of failures. Do not intend to add to their numbers. Oh god.
Speaker A
What did you say? Say it in English. I said you can take this place and stick it.
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] Heat. Heat. Go on home. I s a little here we go walking walking and now the reapers back the other way around getting back home and everybody swing now grand [music] [music] now everybody walk around you little
Speaker A
Bey, are you bey? Bey? Oh, no. Those people are all over on the other side.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. Oh, that's okay. Well, here we go again. Walk all around the town lady. Sheesaw around a little tall.
Speaker A
You bey Mr. Bey. I'm here to join up. Had any experience? Enough. Speak any slope or Arab?
Speaker A
A little Japanese. It looks like the constipated type to me. Give him a chair. Let him sit.
Speaker A
Why do you want to join up? Heard the money was good. I need some background on you.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] But a ninja trickery is his weapon. Illusion way of life. That should do it. We will be in touch.
Speaker A
I appreciate it. I still say he looks like the constipated type. Why do you have to agitate him so?
Speaker A
I don't like being made a fool of. So, his name ain't Steve Colby. It's Scott James. Oh, no. Why didn't you tell me?
Speaker A
What's Dogggo going to say? We're interesting. What's Dogggo going to do? What is with that, Scott? I keep calling him and he never calls me back.
Speaker A
Listen, Sharky. I'm not his keeper, you know. Hey, everybody knows he listens to you.
Speaker A
I'm proud of you, AJ. I came to the expo as a UN. Now you resent me.
Speaker A
You resented me to Sakura. If we were brothers, why wasn't my victory yours? Heat.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [music] Sacred, it's mine. You cheated. Ask your brother's forgiveness. I ask nothing.
Speaker A
Prove to me you deserve it. Coward. Sigler. You have broken the discipline. You brought dishonor to us all.
Speaker A
From this day forward, your name will not be spoken in my presence, nor in my home. I reject [music] you in the memory of you totally.
Speaker A
[music] See to it that you never seek him out, never make amends. He is no longer your brother.
Speaker A
He is your lifelong enemy. [music] Father, I don't understand. If winning overshadows all, why wasn't one of us to lose?
Speaker A
Can you offer a lady a kind word? What I said? Can you offer a lady a kind word?
Speaker A
Have a seat. Thank you. If it's any consolation, you're not the only one who suffers from moral dilemmas.
Speaker A
It's not any consolation. I don't confess often. I'd like to finish. I knew the kind of pain that I'd be causing you when I told you about Sakura. And there's a part of me that is a bit ashamed of that.
Speaker A
I'd like to believe you, but I don't. I'll try another tact. If Sakura were a good man and he was killed, as my father was, wouldn't you want to avenge his death?
Speaker A
I might, but I don't believe in sitting in judgment of others. Well, to sit in judgment, one has to care. To care, one has to allow oneself to be close to people.
Speaker A
And I think Sakura ruined that for you. [clears throat] She ruined it for you.
Speaker A
I have been very much a spoiled brat. And until recently, I didn't know that I could care. But now that I know that, I want to change.
Speaker A
Good luck. I feel encouraged. I think I'm looking in the right direction. I don't.
Speaker A
Ouch. I doubt it. Of course you do. I am stuck playing this game with you.
Speaker A
Damn it. Help me stop it. And I thought you'd be off soul searching. Uh, Justine, this is AJ.
Speaker A
My pleasure. How do you do? They shoot her in the middle of something. Oh, no. That's okay.
Speaker A
There must be some reason you've been hiding her. Are you hiding me? Game's open to all players. Deal me. I Well, Champagne might be a nice opening bet.
Speaker A
Boy, you really are off your stride these days. Uh, I think I'm going to call it a night.
Speaker A
Uh, I want to talk to you later. Okay. Yeah. Oh, you live here. Just just One reminder, for the rest of your lives, your actions and your affiliations will be known to us.
Speaker A
Any violation of the code is punishable by death. Sign up. Who is it? AJ said you wanted to talk to me.
Speaker A
Yeah. What did uh Justine have to say? Nothing in particular. You had a few laughs and a lot of champagne. I'll tell you one thing. That is one lady who's got it all. Well, you better look a little bit deeper because she's not out
Speaker A
for anyone but herself. Well, you name me anybody with a half a brain who ain't.
Speaker A
There's a difference between that and using people. Well, you got to figure she's using me.
Speaker A
How come you can't figure maybe she just likes me? Hey, you're taking things the wrong way.
Speaker A
Scott, all the time we've known each other, I've never once felt bad about losing to you.
Speaker A
But that doesn't make me second best. You're drunk. Oh, I told you that when I came in. Hey, you know you're not in town very often.
Speaker A
Why don't you give Sharky a call? I have nothing to talk to Sharky about.
Speaker A
[music] Doc is not the answer. But if I go partway to them to them, they'll have to move toward me.
Speaker A
Look [ __ ] why won't you let me return to my group? I thought Sakura was supposed to send you back here just brimming over with discipline.
Speaker A
If you're trying to change my mind and turn me into one of your mercenaries, first demonstrate that you have a mind.
Speaker A
There's some new men here. Come on. I got to look them over. So move it.
Speaker A
Heat. [music] [music] Heat. [music] [music] [music] All right. Over at the benches. Come on, sit down.
Speaker A
All right, listen up. We got employment opportunities in South Africa, Middle East, and maybe something coming up in Central America. And when your name's called, stand over there, nice and obedient, and state your job preference.
Speaker A
Steve Colby, front and center. Steve Colby. That's your real name. Does it matter? No.
Speaker A
Are you wanted for any crimes? Behind on any alimony payments, Mr. Colby? No. Then what the hell are you doing here?
Speaker A
Well, I'm pretty good on the world market. I figured some specialized training could um boost my price.
Speaker A
What kind of specialized training? I heard you got connections with a guy named Sakura who trains ninja style and I'd like to learn.
Speaker A
Well, I might too if I knew what the hell a ninja was. Any of you boys know what a ninja is?
Speaker A
Ain't it that new type of jack camera? [laughter] I'm sorry. I'm afraid you've made a trip all the way out here for nothing.
Speaker A
That's too bad. Not necessarily. Perhaps you can give us a little show. Let us see what you're supposed to be so good at. [clears throat] Some other time.
Speaker A
Hey, you go when he tells you. You know what I mean? Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] You son of a [ __ ] I'm going to kick your ass.
Speaker A
Oh, you want to try again? All right. All right. You showed us your stuff. No need to run it into the ground. I can go now.
Speaker A
Yeah. Go and stay gone. Take over. Doggo Scott James was just here, which is no great surprise. But who gave him Sakura's name?
Speaker A
And who warned you that was going to happen? I say she's more than a nuisance and we kill her.
Speaker A
You want the final say? You got the final say. Now, why didn't you like Hamlet?
Speaker A
Dummy couldn't make up his mind. All he did was go faster and faster on smaller wheels.
Speaker A
Well, [clears throat] that is uh certainly an interesting interpretation. Hey, what's wrong? Nothing. Nothing. Just just give me a minute to compose myself.
Speaker A
Come on, just tell me what No, don't. Please, if you don't tell me what's wrong, I can't help.
Speaker A
[gasps] I'm I'm sorry. [sighs] I'm just so tired living in fear. Just wondering when they're going to when who's going to do what? Shh.
Speaker A
Just hold me. Hold me. When are you going to get tired of snipping around and start making some serious moves?
Speaker A
When I see a clear direction. Clear my foot. You're just setting it up so you can back into things and you're not to blame when you have to fight your way up.
Speaker A
That wit or wisdom. How long's it been since you've been playing with those research groups? Huh?
Speaker A
Well, the kind of research I do is not exactly play. 3 years. I told you then. You wouldn't last and you won't.
Speaker A
Then why am I leaving tomorrow for Seattle? Better question. Why just stay over here to watch the expo? And why are you working out every day?
Speaker A
We'll have to get together for a drink on my next trip. You don't want to leave town to see Tour.
Speaker A
Who's Tibor? He's a fundraiser for the terrorist groups. You don't think those idiots have got enough brains to support themselves, do you? You see, Dgo is no more than the glorified employment agency. He doesn't give a damn.
Speaker A
Terrorist mercenary. He doesn't care who or what he channels through his place. T-Bore though and T-B is getting to the underbelly of terrorism.
Speaker A
Thanks, but the whole subject's wearing kind of thin to me and to any rational person until the next group of innocent people come along and get skyjacked or held hostage or shot.
Speaker A
I love the way you just naturally downplay things. I care. I don't see any bloody potatoes.
Speaker A
Get out of here. Olive oil. Huh? [clears throat] Yeah. Help. Don't tell me You're interested in an all weather coat with a fur lining, right?
Speaker A
What do you mean? You're not interested in a furline coat. Ah, make me a turn. Make me turn. Fully let out. No dye, all female skins. Believe me.
Speaker A
Then what do you want? Can we talk privately? Take her to try on the first coat. Yeah.
Speaker A
Come, please. Well, what can I do for you? I need some information about a man named Sakura.
Speaker A
Sakura? I deal in furs, not transistor radios. Sakura trains men and Doggo supplies him with the men and you supply them both with the money.
Speaker A
Yes. Yes, it's true. I once dealt with these men. You see, I had a younger brother, Isaac.
Speaker A
Fine young [clears throat] athlete. He was killed in the Olympics at Munich. I grieved.
Speaker A
I wanted justice. But you know something? Justice is for young men. Besides, terrorists are crazy.
Speaker A
Mercenaries, I understand. But terrorists. Where does Sakura have his training camp? Ask Doggo. My business is big corporations. Big corporations don't concern themselves with such details. Only how much is it going to cost.
Speaker A
My friend, before you go out there to save the world, I can tell you the world, it doesn't want to be saved, only to be left alone.
Speaker A
Your world maybe, not mine. Are you sure you haven't seen AJ today? You're making me crazy. You know that. I mean, you got a god-given talent and you're wasting it. What I think of the money you can make.
Speaker A
I'm not interested in the money. Okay. So, give it away. Donate it to a charity. Get rid of it.
Speaker A
Look, Sharky. I'm not interested in fighting anymore. I'm here to work out. That's all. Okay.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. I give up. I give up. Listen, Quina. I got a B for you. You'll need this week.
Speaker A
Good. Could I do it again? Could I fight you now? Stop thinking about it.
Speaker A
It doesn't have to come to that. Come to that control. Control discipline. Discipline. Why do you choose that weapon to master?
Speaker A
Why are you afraid of it? Maybe. What are you doing in here? Doggo asked me to get a file for him.
Speaker A
You know no one's allowed to be in here alone. I'm going to get even worried about your attitude.
Speaker A
What am I supposed to do? Feel loyalty to Doggo? All this place is is an incubator for killers.
Speaker A
Hey, you ought to be grateful you have a safe place to stay until your group can reform.
Speaker A
Grateful. Doggo just ordered me to take a job in Egypt. Do you know what's in Egypt? A mouthful of dollars for him and the privilege of getting killed for me.
Speaker A
Come on, give me a break. Give it to me. Heat. [music] [music] [music] Heat.
Speaker A
[music] [music] AJ AJ Justine Justine You wouldn't even know each other each other if it weren't for me for me. I feel responsible.
Speaker A
I'm the bridge bridge. It's not too late. I can still change things. I need your help.
Speaker A
I like the way you say please. This is only because I'm afraid of you.
Speaker A
This is ridiculous. You wanted to take this away from me. I couldn't stop you.
Speaker A
Besides, besides what? The crux of things. How I got into this. I'm the type of person who can't say in advance.
Speaker A
Is that why I saw you at Dogle's compound? May I sit down? This is going to take a while to explain.
Speaker A
The girl defected. That's five people this year, dog. Is the answer what I think? Are you less than inspirational?
Speaker A
What the hell are you talking about? Well, consider this. The recruits are fine when they come back from Sakuras.
Speaker A
They're at your place a short time. Kur is a fanatic. I'm a businessman. [clears throat] Now, depending on how much you're enjoying this conversation, I'd just like to slide free and go get the girl.
Speaker A
Too late, my friend. Sakura's enforcement troops are already at work on it. Well, that's proof of the pudding, isn't it? He's a fanatic.
Speaker A
Well, now that may be, but this is for certain. Because of this little incident, Sakura has placed us on notice. He won't be accepting any more of our recruits for training. Well, then I guess it's time for a blood bath,
Speaker A
isn't it? You're not capable. Everybody, my parents, everyone, they weren't living. They were existing. All sorts of horrible things could happen in the world, and nothing affected them.
Speaker A
I wanted something to care about, something to live for. That's how I got mixed up with [ __ ] and ended up ultimately training with Sakura.
Speaker A
I can't help you. You're going to have to face your own responsibilities. Damn. I don't know why I came to you.
Speaker A
You're no better than they are. God, open the door. I'm sorry. I wouldn't come. I I need your help.
Speaker A
Have you seen AJ? No. Why? Because Who is she? Never mind. I have something to tell you. I don't think you'll like.
Speaker A
Well, I'm waiting. I can't find AJ. He's supposed to meet me, and I think he's left to find Sakura.
Speaker A
What? Damn it. Don't accuse me. I haven't had time. I am not to blame.
Speaker A
I am and I'm I'm not. I inadvertently fueled a fire, but I didn't start it.
Speaker A
Well, the wise and wherefors don't matter. You wanted a man for this mission, and now you've got one.
Speaker A
I wanted you because you could succeed. Please help me find him. Why the sudden turnaround?
Speaker A
No. What is the use of talking to you? I'll find him. You won't do it. I'll find him.
Speaker A
Can you tell me how to get to Sakura's camp? I can't tell you how to get there. But why not? You trained there.
Speaker A
I know that I trained there. It's just that it's it's a little bit more complicated than that.
Speaker A
AJ, thank God I thought you left in the process. Put this in Scott James box.
Speaker A
Sure. Don't. Don't. Why not? You know, it feels good having a cause. Oh, how well I know that. It makes you feel terribly important.
Speaker A
I feel important on my own. No, you don't. You feel that Scott is a bit of man. That's stupid. You can't compare apples and oranges. But with Scott leaving, would you try and stop him?
Speaker A
That's not the point. AJ, damn it, AJ. It's comparing apples and oranges. It can't be done.
Speaker A
The airport [music] down there. Why am I so cold? Hold it. [music] Damn. One of these days I'm going to have to kill that. [music] [music] [music] [music] Let's get out of here. Whoever it was is long gone.
Speaker A
Call Scott James' room. Tell him to get his ass down here. Right. Check the destination of that cabin.
Speaker A
You know, there are cops all over the place down there. Hello. Okay, wait here.
Speaker A
One thing I like about the oriental way of thinking, it's a double-edged sword. Example, to take no action isn't action.
Speaker A
Don't you ever get tired of proddding me? Yeah, I hate the hell out of it. But I know my limitations. Sakur is beyond me now.
Speaker A
Where you going? After AJ. Too late. Cab dropped him off at the airport a half hour ago. There's more than one plane flying.
Speaker A
Not tonight. Know where he's going. Besides, you'll need pieces. Assuming, of course, that AJ manages to get to Sakura.
Speaker A
Where's Sakura's operation? Some say Venezuela, some say Brazil. I personally think it's someplace in Central America.
Speaker A
I'll see that you got bodyguards. I don't want them. You got them anyway. Can you get me to Sakura?
Speaker A
Okay. I can't tell you how to get there, but I'll get you there. The sofa's yours. We'll leave in the morning.
Speaker A
You know, Sakura is what I'm running away from. Me too. Shut up in the heat.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [bell] [music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat.
Speaker A
[music] Heat. [music] [music] [music] [music] Heat. Hey, we've got a complaint about the noise. What's going on?
Speaker A
I'm sorry about the noise. Uh, we're newly wins and I I guess we got a little carried away.
Speaker A
All right. Well, let's keep it down to a roar huh? Okay, you bet. I told you to wait until they hit the ground. I get some of the boys and clean this place up.
Speaker A
Oh, listen. You still don't want Sakura's side? All you want to do is stop AJ. That's right.
Speaker A
Your business, I guess. Always was. Damn. I sure feel better after killing that son of a [ __ ] Good enough to take a vacation.
Speaker A
Why maybe? Why? Sounds like a good place to be in the morning. Let's go.
Speaker A
Wait a minute. Where are we going first? Well, I may need to get some things.
Speaker A
Forget it. I'll own you my shampoo. Yo. [music] He's coming. [music] Come on with great [music] [music] heat.
Speaker A
[music] Senior here. Senior here. [music] Yeah. [music] [music] [bell] [music] What country in Central America?
Speaker A
I don't know. I I forget. [music] [music] Hey Senor. Come on. Which country in Central America? No man will list this boy. Hey, come on. Which one?
Speaker A
Inzy. [music] Natal. Huh? Money? Yeah plenty. We talk. All right. All right. You'll get there. Don't worry.
Speaker A
How long will it take? Uh, a couple hours. [music] [music] [music] Yes, sir. What can I do for you?
Speaker A
When are you going to stop treating me like a leper? I'm sorry. It's not intended.
Speaker A
Well, I know I'm not the most righteous person going. You know, I never killed anyone.
Speaker A
Never even hurt anyone except Jimmy Subtles, who deliberately set my hog on fire. You had a hog, huh? I didn't have a hog.
Speaker A
I had the hog who won all sorts of prizes. [laughter] How much farther? I told you 60 maybe 70 miles.
Speaker A
No matter what you think of me, I think that you had a leg up on life and I didn't.
Speaker A
How do you mean? No matter how secur it turned out, you had a brother and a father to look up to and stuff like that was important.
Speaker A
I mean, if people knew it all when they were born, there'd be no reason to have to grow up.
Speaker A
All right. Go to sleep. Be a lot easier if I could come closer. [music] [music] [music] Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
[music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Yeah. [music] [music] [bell] I didn't stop. [screaming] I don't know.
Speaker A
Lord mercy. [laughter] Oh god. If I'm not back by tomorrow, you know how to contact McCarn.
Speaker A
I don't feel right about staying behind. Look, I'm the kind of person I have this rule about owning up to what I do. Good or bad, I was one of them. I was out there marching in this parade that went
Speaker A
off course, and I don't feel right about excusing myself. Then make up for it.
Speaker A
But not here and not now. [music] [music] Heat [music] up here. [music] [music] AJ, you are here.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. If I could take your place, can I do it? Do it. Can I kill my brother? Brother, why, Sakura?
Speaker A
Why has it come to death? Come to this [music] Heat. [music] [music] Heat. [groaning] [music] Hey Bob, you drunk again?

I be 2. Don't kill him. Sakura, welcome home. Scott. AJ. Oh my god. Scott.
Speaker A
Damn it. This is my fight. I chose it. AJ. [screaming] Ah, you know the path.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. No. All right. [cheering] Fire out of here. Absolutely out of here. Oh yeah.
Speaker A
Hold it. Oh. Oh. Oh. [groaning] Sakura, let him go. Your friend is waiting. [screaming] Yeah, heat.

Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] What are you two doing just standing there?
