Crying Freeman Page #2

There are two kinds of people

who work nights.

Really? I never would have taken you

for that kind.

It's time for you to go home.

It's a very dangerous part of town tonight.

I wouldn't like you to get hurt.

Thanks for the advice.

I could use some.

Forge, come in, Forge.

Forge. Come in.

Forge?

I always thought that...

...death would be cold.

And awful.

Not like you.

Please, I...

I wanted you to come back.

Wake up.

Wake up, wake up, sleepy.

- Quite a long time.

- Ryuji.

You lucky it's me, Netah.

Anyone else...

You didn't kill my man, did you, Ryuji?

I wouldn't like to have to arrest you.

We don't kill cops.

Unless they belong to us.

- Like you, my friend.

- Cut to the chase, please.

I don't like chasing. Or waiting.

We want the woman.

No way in hell. We had a deal.

You're out of it for 48 hours.

You back off, Ryuji. Now.

You don't make Shimazaki a liar.

You think I give a sh*t about your deal?

Why would you? Clan door's wide open

for a power play, huh, Ryuji?

That's right, Netah. I will be the boss

in exchange for the Freeman's head.

And Shimazaki's son in San Francisco,

did you hand him that, too, Blade?

- How did the Dragons find him?

- Netah, we put you where you are.

Don't forget it!

Hey, all you have to do

is look the other way.

We give her some truth serum.

She sings an opera.

You forget one thing, Blade,

you're not in Japan here!

Dirty bastard.

She's beautiful...

Our bonus...

You are the Freeman.

The weapon you're holding

was meant for her.

Kill. You will kill on command.

Kill. You will kill on command.

No.

Have you forgotten the laws

of the organization?

She's not a criminal!

She has not offended us.

She knows who you are

and you are forgetting who you are!

Kill her. Throw her out.

I won't report this to the family.

The hospital, Koh. Now!

If you look for me,

if you ever want to find me...

...remember the name Hinomura.

- To hell with this, Freeman!

- Please, Koh!

Don't.

Hinomura.

I'm so cold.

Three days later, I awoke in the hospital.

My father died here.

Before I had a chance

to ask his forgiveness.

I had left the house that night,

sneaking out on a dare.

I turned off the alarm

and left the door open.

That was how my father's killer got in.

It was Mery

who brought me here to see him.

And now Mery has come to see me.

The circle has closed.

- Mery.

- Goodness, Emu, you... He...

Sshh. Speak softly.

I don't want them to hear.

Mery... I need your help.

Sshh.

Yeah, chief, I'll call you later.

I thought Miss O'Hara

wasn't up to having visitors.

Visitors, yes. Interrogations, no.

Ease up on her, Netah.

She almost bled to death.

Miss, these need water. Could you tell me

where the washroom is, please?

- It's around the corner.

- Thank you.

She wanted him to kill her.

You didn't catch that, did you?

Kill her. Mm. Sure.

Inspector Netah.

Thanks.

Hello. Netah here.

Hello. Hello?

Who is it?

- Anything to report?

- No.

Jesus!

- Where d'you think she's going?

- How the f*** do I know?

Alert, the police is coming...

How long have you been connected

to the Shimazaki clan?

You're way out of your league, Forge.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

No, you enjoy the ride,

cos it's gonna be your last one.

Forge?

Forge!

Forge.

Take my hand.

For...

Forge.

I thought I'd been kidnapped.

In a sense, I had been.

Yo had sent this man to find me.

Remember it. Hinomura.

I was leaving everything behind.

For what?

I didn't know.

Look at me!

I have a message for your protectors.

The Dragon!

Listen... I am... Hanada Ryuji...

...boss of the Hanada clan.

I declare war on the Dragons.

I want the Freeman.

Or... I will return to China.

I had traveled three days among people

whose language I could not understand.

I had spoken to no-one.

Yet for all this time, I felt eyes on me.

Someone watching.

Some kind of danger lurking close by.

My father was a famous Japanese potter.

He taught you, didn't he?

Yes.

Then he taught me to see.

Look.

On this spot here.

That gives it its shape.

And there...

...the shadow places.

The darkness...

Is as necessary as the light.

Yes.

I am no more an artist.

My name, my profession...

...everything is just a cover.

Who would ever guess...

...that the executioner

for the Sons of the Dragon...

...was just a simple potter?

Seven years ago was my first exhibition.

The reviews of my work

were almost entirely raves.

This work was my 15 minutes of fame...

... and I was going to enjoy

every second of it.

Things can change

so quickly in one's life.

So quickly

that the past slips away like a dream.

I went back.

Part of me wanted to look the other way.

But another part wanted to look further.

There was no connection between me and

this man, but he looked straight at me.

A dead man's eyes are a curse

to those who behold them.

I wanted to see into that darkness.

I wanted to know it.

What had I stumbled into?

The picture showed

the two killers I'd seen in the gallery.

They were torturing someone...

... a man whose body

was covered with a magnificent tattoo.

I couldn't have known then

what that tattoo would mean to me.

I decided to go home immediately.

I would mail the film to the police

from the airport.

Kill. Kill!

You will kill on command.

I was back in my hotel room.

My neck hurt like hell.

But what had happened?

Why had I been kidnapped?

Had I been kidnapped?

All I knew was that I wanted

to get back home as fast as possible.

- Hello?

- Kill. You will kill on command.

Open your suitcase.

Now!

His name is Antonio Rossi.

Antonio Rossi

can smell the gun on a man.

So you must kill him with the knife.

You must kill him with the knife.

Hold on, cowboy.

Where do you think you're going?

These flowers are for the lady.

You do what you have to do...

...but don't come back to me unless you

have that cocksucker's finger in a bag.

Mr. Rossi.

Flowers. For Kari.

Carlo, let me get back to you.

Who the f***

you got sending you flowers?

Be nice if you sent me flowers sometime.

The rock on your finger ain't nice enough?

You two-time me, b*tch, I'll have those

fake titties shipped back to the surgeon.

Who sent these flowers?

The Dragons.

Kill. You will kill on command

We did not expect you to survive.

And it seems you walk with the Dragon!

You have the gift...

...the dark gift of the death walker.

The killer who cries.

Your tears... are your honor, Dragon.

You have become your faith.

No!

The witch had visited me in the night.

She'd put a mark on my body.

There was nothing I could do to erase it.

The Dragon tattoo.

I would be so marked forever.

The Dragon's taken you.

Your mind. Your body.

His image marks you, Freeman.

It is the image of your soul.

The longing for freedom.

There is no freedom on earth.

True freedom is in the spirit...

...in the skies, where the Dragon soars.

Let the dream of soaring to the skies

sustain you.

I am Koh.

Your guide.
