Because you loved him?

Hayate is in both our hearts.

Help me find out what happened to him.

He's dead. Prepare to join him.

Kasumi! Kasumi!

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

The tattoo she has

is on her lower back, right?

Well, I've just deciphered it

and it means "Helena". Get it?

- Helena is the key. Helena must be the code.

- Max, it's brilliant.

Except she had it done last year in Paris.

She's been showing it off to us.

- I'm Weatherby.

- What are you doing?

I work in the lab. I'm Weatherby.

- Helena.

- I know.

Would you like another drink?

I'll get you another drink.

- I'll get you another drink, yeah.

- Thanks, Wellington.

Actually, it's Weatherby.

It's a pretty funny story.

My grandfather came over with his horse...

- Hey, Wallaby!

- Yes?

What are you doing?

My grandfather came over...

Hey, baby, come on, loosen up. It's a party.

Come on, you know

you want to dance with me.

Well, see, I'd love to.

But I don't know how good you're gonna be

on the dance floor with two broken legs.

So, what, you're just gonna ruin

this party for everybody?

Fine. Sunrise tomorrow morning.

- Forbidden Square?

- Fine.

(CLICKS)

You wanna play?

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(PANTING)

Boy, am I sorry I messed with you so much.

From now on, I tell you,

my money is on you to win.

I appreciate that.

Our nanobots were working overtime

on that fight, but you were right about Tina.

I have to say I did not see it coming.

That leaves a showdown

between Helena and Christie.

And who's your favorite to win,

Mr. Weatherby?

My money's on Helena. She rocks.

You were right.

She does have another tattoo.

First I want a deal.

- Okay.

- I want half.

And if I win, I get to keep the prize money.

Of course.

Let me show you something.

Very smart.

- The vault's in the Buddha head.

- So now we just need to find a way in.

TINA:
So, it's down to the four of us.

But where's Hayabusa?

- I haven't seen him since yesterday.

- Well, let's go find him.

- No. I go alone.

- Well, I'm gonna come, too.

- I said no. He means nothing to you.

- Well, now, that's not entirely true.

- You know, he and I...

- You mean...

Just once. He was so persistent, you know.

I'm just kidding.

Come on, Christie.

Second floor. Follow me.

Weatherby, take the rest of the day off.

I've got some unfinished business

to attend to.

Holy sh*t!

See, when I win the money, this is exactly

the kind of office I'm gonna build.

I know you.

But why are you facing that way?

KASUMI:
Well done.

TINA:
Yeah, what did you say

your day job was?

(EXCLAIMS)

That's a lot of steps. My legs are on fire.

- I guess you had a pretty rough day.

- You could say that.

I lost to Christie.

Yeah, I saw that. But it was a close fight.

You almost made it to the semi-finals

of DOA, Helena.

Your father would have been very proud.

- Thanks, Weatherby.

- It's Weatherby, but you don't...

Wow.

This looks homey.

Look at this.

They've been monitoring everything we do.

Bunch of pervs.

KASUMI:
Hayabusa.

Hayabusa. What happened?

(GROANS)

(ALL EXCLAIMS)

Perfect.

I mean, it was amazing. Your father

recruited me straight out of college.

I had no idea.

- That's great.

- Your father was a great man.

Helena, there's something I should tell you.

Donovan wanted to take my research

into a different direction.

DONOVAN:
It's never gonna happen,

I can guarantee you.

DOUGLAS:
I did not set up DOA

for this purpose.

I want to know what happened...

He and your father got into

this big argument about it.

You're not gonna get away

with this, Donovan.

Your father was so against this,

he decided to shut down the whole thing.

- So why didn't he?

- He never got a chance to.

He died that night.

This is Donovan to all units.

Proceed immediately to the Great Steps

and eliminate Weatherby and Helena.

No one is to enter the lab complex

for the rest of the day.

And I mean no one.

- What are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna go see Donovan.

My father didn't want him to get away with it

so neither can I. Come on.

- Well, what do you want me to do?

- Protect me.

That's funny. I was just about

to make the same suggestion.

(WEATHERBY EXCLAIMS)

What the...

I've got your back, Helena!

That hurt. That didn't feel good.

Whoa! Okay.

Well, I'm never gonna mess with you.

Never?

Well, maybe in a controlled environment.

HELENA:
There's gotta be

another way into the lab.

WEATHERBY:
Well, that's where I come in.

Come on.

Princess!

(DOOR OPENING)

Now that I have your attention,

let me introduce you to the future.

This is amazing. I can't believe

my father never told me about this.

Well, I'm afraid that's not

the only thing you don't know.

Donovan has taken my concept

and used it for his own ends.

So stupid.

I should have done something earlier.

Now it's time to harvest.

(BEEPING)

(ALARM SOUNDING)

Okay, now what?

Donovan has begun the download.

We got to go!

- Do you think it will really work?

- Of course! I created it!

Look.

- Help them.

- I'm on it. I'm on it.

Come on. Come on.

I've got to bypass

four security protocols to free them.

Not easy.

Now for the ultimate test.

The moment I've had to wait a year for.

I've kept him in superb fighting condition.

Send him in.

(GASPS)

Hayate! My brother.

- Hayate.

- Kasumi.

Kasumi!

Kasumi, I was afraid

you would come looking for me.

Hayabusa.

How could you let this happen?

- Your sister has the same strong will as you.

- Yes, she does.

But she lacks that perfect blend of skills,

timing and strength

that set you apart

as the world's greatest warrior.

You have me. Let them go.

First things first. I challenge you to a fight.

You win, they all go free.

If you refuse my simple request, they die.

Your choice.

So be it.

Hayate!

- No!

- Hayate!

Ayane.

I thought you were dead.

I will never leave your side.

- Come on.

- We're almost there.

Buyers from around the world,

I hope you've enjoyed

this live demonstration

of the sheer power of this new technology.

Thank you for your down payments.

Transmission to you of the download

program will begin immediately.

- What's going on?

- Oh, no.

- This is not good.

- What's not good?

Donovan's transmitting the program

to buyers across the world.

I have to stop him.

What?

That was close.

Okay, time to call the cavalry.

Donavan needs to know this is over.

(SIGHS)

What now?

Bayman, grab the money from the vault.

Meet me outside the lab.

Look! He's headed this way.

I need more time to free the others.

Show me the money.

Oh, no, no, listen. I can explain. Look, just...

You're not gonna get away

with this, Donovan.

That's exactly what your father said

right before I had him killed.

What a shame.

You didn't download my moves.

I think I underestimated you, Helena.

You believe the CIA will stop me?

I don't think so.

I'll take this. All your hard work right here.

By the time they get here,

this place will be dust.
