Revenge of the Ninja

---

Americans are going crazy

over Japanese art now.

I'll put all the money in,

and you run the place.

There's no better expert than you.

Look, we'll open the first gallery

in Los Angeles, then Chicago.

-And later New York--

-I'm sorry, but I must stay in Japan.

My father, my grandfather, were killed...

fighting on this land.

You gonna wait here until the same thing

happens to you? That's crazy.

There!

Yoshi.

Cho, you've gotta leave Japan.

This will never end here.

They killed my wife...

-and my son.

-And they'll be back.

You can't fight the ninja forever.

You have a son.

You want him caught up

in all this bloodshed?

Come with me.

My son's place is here.

You see this?

His father died on this land.

And now...

his wife.

This soil is sacred with our family blood.

Do you want to see your son dead?

And your grandson, too?

I'm offering him a great fortune

in America, a new life.

We'll open a gallery. You and your son can

be safe in America. You can be happy again.

And you, Mrs. Osaki...

you should come, too.

I do not trust this man, my son.

Braden is my friend. He means well.

It's for his life. We must consider this offer.

You cannot escape your karma, my son.

Even if you go as far as America,

it will come for you.

Believe me, it will.

-Come on, we're gonna kick his ass!

-Get out of my way, man.

How was your class today?

Did you enjoy the lunch?

Such a funny old lady.

He thinks he's tough?

Who are they?

Hey, man, what's your trick?

-Kick his ass.

-Yeah.

Could you move, please?

Give it back!

Go for it.

Go get him! Come on!

Hurry up! Get him!

Go!

-Get him!

-Watch out!

My eyes!

Come on, we got him!

I told you not to fight.

Do not yell at him. He did no wrong.

I did not bring him here to America

to fight in the streets with fools.

Cho...

it does not matter where you raise him.

You must teach him the way of the ninja.

It's the family tradition.

This bears the sign of our family.

And when I die, it will be yours.

And then Kane's.

So prepare him.

Show him the ways.

These are the dolls we are going to sell

in our new gallery, Kane.

I have given up fighting.

My sword is sealed forever.

Here in America,

I will not follow the way of the ninja.

No more.

Why not, Daddy?

Because the way killed your mother.

So remember...

you are not samurai.

Not ninja.

We only practice with our sword...

to honor our tradition. Do you understand?

Good.

Then show me.

Eye contact!

Balance!

Power!

That was fantastic.

Better get going, honey.

You're going to be late for baseball practice.

He's really improving, isn't he?

Guess what?

The dolls have cleared customs.

They'll be here by noon.

I called your partner, Braden.

He'll be by sometime this afternoon

to look them over.

Cathy, you help me so much.

I really think I should pay you.

No, really, I love doing things for you.

Besides, my karate training

is more than enough.

I just want you to teach me the way.

If you want to work out,

you forgot your pants.

You really think I forgot?

God...

you're so strong.

Do you wish to work out?

Of course I do.

This is our latest gallery.

lt'll open next week.

My partner put together

the best Japanese doll collection in town.

-Hi, Cho, how are you?

-Fine, thank you.

The shipment has just arrived from Japan.

-We are unpacking the dolls right now.

-They're perfection.

-Everything arrived as ordered?

-Everything.

I'll put 12 in the showroom,

and the rest in storage.

How do you like the display?

Fantastic. It's wonderful.

You've got excellent taste.

-Hello, Cathy, how are you?

-Please, come and see the rest of the dolls.

They are all beautiful and authentic.

Every one is handmade.

Each takes almost two months to make.

This one comes from Hakata.

I knew there was a reason

I made you my partner.

You couldn't have made a better selection.

Nothing would have been possible

without your help.

No.

Money's easy to find,

but good men, that's another story.

This is going to work out.

It's a ninja. Professional soldier.

Specializing in espionage

and assassination.

About 400 years ago.

Worst bastards

the world's ever known, right?

It's a common misunderstanding

that the ninja were all evil.

But not accurate.

-They still killed people.

-That was their special skill.

The thousand ways of death.

Like I said...

this gallery's gonna be the best thing

that's happened to this town...

since I got here.

Don't touch it! What have you done?

This is a very expensive doll you broke.

Your father will be so angry.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

I won't say anything to your father.

I'll fix this doll somehow.

But you've got to promise me...

you'll never touch any of these dolls again.

Okay?

This will be our little secret.

Run along now.

I'll talk to you later.

Now...

what is it, my love?

We have a problem, Braden.

What's happened, Catherine?

It's little Kane.

He broke one of the dolls,

and the heroin spilled out.

Damn it!

You're supposed to watch those dolls.

That's your job.

It's okay, he didn't even know what it was.

-I'll make sure he doesn't tell anybody.

-You'd better.

It won't happen again, I promise.

This gallery setup is becoming too risky.

When are you gonna get rid of the stuff?

I'm seeing Caifano today,

so we'll probably unload tonight.

And, Cathy, no more screwups.

Hi, I have an appointment with Mr. Caifano.

Hold on.

Caifano, Braden's here to see you.

Send him up.

It's Braden, he's here.

-What are we gonna do?

-I'll handle it.

Hey, Gino.

You're looking at yourself too much.

It's not normal.

Your nephew doesn't want

to disappoint the ladies, you know?

-Say, here he is.

-Hey, partner.

What's the good word?

The dolls have arrived.

They're ready for delivery.

Great.

Have a drink? Joe, go mix him a drink.

I didn't come for a drink. I want my money.

-I want you to take delivery immediately.

-Okay. What's the big rush?

This stuff is hot.

I need the money right now.

You have to wait on the money.

The deal was, I get the money

the minute the dolls are here.

-Few days ain't gonna make no difference.

-A big difference!

I need that money right now.

My Japanese connection wants their cut.

-I can't mess with those people.

-I gave those guys $100,000 up front.

They want the rest

of the money today, in cash.

Now, what am I supposed to tell them?

How about....

If you don't have the money,

I'll find somebody who does.

And you can kiss your $100,000 good-bye.

Tell your goons to move.

You tell us.

You're dealing with me now.

As far as you're concerned,

that stuff is already paid for. It's mine!

So don't try any funny stuff.

Don't f*** with the Japanese.

They can be very dangerous.

I'll f*** with whoever I want.

I don't need you.

I'll make my own deal.

If you're thinking of going behind my back,

you'll be making a big mistake.

A very big mistake.

You don't even know me yet.

-The pickles--

-I told you to eat before you drink the soda.
