American Ninja Page #4

Never mind. I need your help.

The ninjas were sent

to kill me in my cell...

All right, wait. Start from the beginning.

The sergeant's got

some big operation going.

OK, hold it. Pull up, yeah.

Get the light over here.

Oh, my God.

This is crazy. You'll get yourself killed.

Why don't we tell the colonel?

No, they're leaving in the morning.

I gotta catch Ortega before he leaves.

What I need is a jeep. Meet me behind

the motor pool in a half-hour. You got it?

- Yeah.

- And Jackson... be careful, huh?

OK.

Here he comes.

- Jackson, what is she doing here?

- You can't go through with it.

- You'll get killed.

- Gimme the jeep.

- Will you trust me on this one?

- Joe, please listen to me, please.

Why don't you talk to my father?

He'll listen to you.

- I know what I'm doing.

- You gotta trust somebody sometime.

If I mean anything to you,

please trust me now.

- I can't.

- We're the only two people you can trust.

Please, Joe.

- OK. Let's go.

- All right.

And you honestly expect me to believe

this cock-and-bull story, Private?

It's the truth, sir.

The sergeant's working with Ortega.

And they may be behind the hijackings.

Colonel, may I suggest that we run up

some men, and go kick some ass... sir.

I've known both of these men for years.

The sergeant's my most trusted man.

We went through the war

together. You know that.

Dad, can't you check out

Joe's story before it's too late...

...and the missiles get shipped out?

Tell you what I'll do. To eliminate any

doubt you might have on this matter...

...l'll launch a full-scale

investigation, starting right now.

We'll find out if this man's

story is true or not.

Hello, this is the colonel. Would you send

a squad of MPs out to my house now?

What? When?

Yeah, I hear you.

Right away.

Well, the ball's in motion.

Let's relax and have a cup

of coffee while we're waiting.

Janette?

Ooh, I told you so.

Sergeant, arrest this man.

Draw up the papers necessary

charging him with manslaughter.

- What are you doing?

- Get him outta here, and this time...

...make sure he doesn't escape.

- No, please!

- Stop it, Patricia. Stop it.

He killed an officer while escaping the

stockade. This man has a criminal record.

He served time in prison

even before joining the army.

He's no good for you, Patricia.

Is it true, Joe?

Take him.

Get him! That son of a b*tch.

Don't let him get away!

That son of a b*tch.

(sirens)

Follow him! Follow him!

Stay right there. Stay right there.

F***in' bastard.

That way.

Sh*t! Get outta here. Get outta here!

Move your ass

or I'll blow your f***in' head off!

(screams)

- What's the problem? I was sound asleep.

- You said this operation was foolproof.

It is, my friend. Let's talk inside.

This Joe has only been

a minor inconvenience.

The shipment will go out

tomorrow as scheduled.

- No one can stop us now.

- It's gone too far.

Too many people know.

We've lost the sergeant and four men,

and the bastard's got away.

- He could be anywhere by now.

- Calm down, my friend. Calm down.

Come, sit down.

He is a nobody.

Even if he finds someone to listen,

who will believe him?

Where's his proof?

No, it's too late to back out now.

- We can't risk it. We're not shipping it out.

- What about those you are trying to help?

Have you forgotten about them?

Without this, their country

could fall to the communists.

One more domino down. Who

knows what country will be next?

It stops now. Maybe later, when things

calm down, but now we must stop.

Let me tell you something, my friend.

For me, this is not a private

crusade for a noble cause.

I stand to make four million

dollars on this deal. Four.

And no one is going to

stop me from collecting it.

I give the orders here, Victor, not you!

What are you going to do?

Call out your troops?

Create an international incident?

It would be very easy for me to reveal

your part in this to your daughter.

What would your precious

daughter think of you then, eh?

We're not shipping it out. I'll be there

in the morning to take everything back.

Now you get out.

This has been

a very big mistake, my friend.

You have remembered well.

It was you.

- Before the explosion, it was you.

- It is time to remember everything.

Come.

The haragei.

I taught you that when you were six.

Do you remember?

When I was six?

When I was six...

...you taught me many

lessons of the haragei.

How to free the mind...

...of thought...

...and let the senses grow.

Yes, I remember.

You were just a baby

when I first found you.

I called you Joe.

That was the only American name I knew.

I conditioned your body and your senses.

I only teach you what you need to know...

...so that when the time comes, you can

take your place on the field of honour...

...and meet your destiny.

But then the explosion separated us.

The explosion.

There's so much I remember...

...but there's also

so much I don't remember.

I let you forget what you saw

before I found you...

...so that your mind

would not be clouded with pain.

But now you are ready.

The time has come for your final lesson.

Kusari-gama.

Shuriken.

Sai.

Ninja-toh.

These symbols will focus

the ultimate power of purpose.

Jin.

Ritsu.

Sai.

- Zen.

- Koba-dera.

The koba-dera. Ninja magic.

Intong jutsu.

The ability to seem invisible, to cause

fear and paralysis in your enemies.

You are ready, my son.

I will be with you in deed and in my heart.

- Follow the Bushido.

- I will honour the code, Father.

Beware the Black Star Ninja.

He has taken the dark path

and has betrayed the code.

Then... he must die.

Magnifique. Right on time.

Everything is working perfectly.

Yes. Do you have the missile?

The missile is in a container with

everything else. It's all ready to go.

- Good.

- These are the documents...

...to get the shipment out of the country.

Everything is... everyone is taken care of.

- You can leave without delay.

- Thank you.

May I see the money?

Of course.

Not until we see the merchandise.

Of course. Right this way.

Who is he? Is he one of us?

The American ninja.

American! What do you want?

Kill him!

Get the girl.

I'll be right back.

American!

It was a nice try!

But it wasn't good enough!

I have your girlfriend here!

You have 30 seconds to surrender,

or your girlfriend is dead!

Joe, don't do it!

I know you can hear me.

Or maybe you don't like her

as much as she thinks you do?

Five...

...four...

- Very good.

- Let her go!

Letting her go wasn't part of the deal.

Kill him.

Calma, calma.

It's all right. Just relax.

Vctor, esto es

demasiado riesgo para m.

It's all right, believe me.

Up ahead!

(shout)

(shouts)

Hang on, charleys.

I'm taking this b*tch uptown.

Take me home, baby.

Holy sh*t.

Got you tight, huh?

How do you like that in your nuts?

Mira Vctor, demasiado riesgo.

Para otro da mejor. Me voy.

- No, you can't leave. You stay here.

- Next time.

You stay here!

Bring the girl.

(Patricia screams)
