The Wolverine Page #2

on a trip to the South.

He brought Mariko to see a factory

he was building.

I was digging through the garbage

for something to eat.

So they just took you home with them?

It was always difficult for Mariko

to make friends.

I'll see to it

the plane is ready in the morning.

Sleep here.

Eternity can be a curse...

Kuzuri.

You have no pain, Kuzuri?

How old are you?

Interesting offer.

What are you doing

turning the old man down?

I thought you wanted to be with me.

Come here.

Hes dead.

I didnt foresee it.

Whos that? With Mariko.

His name is Noburo Mori.

Minister of Justice, a rising star.

Hes Marikos fianc.

You need to bow.

Bow.

Lord Shingen, this is Mr. Logan.

I know who he is.

Your father was a good man.

He would often say the same about you.

But then, he was always

fascinated with your kind.

Tell me, why do you think

he sent our little Yukio to fetch you?

To say goodbye.

And now you have.

Time for you to go back to your cave.

Anyone else you want me to meet?

I pledge to you...

Master Yashida...

to be vigilant...

and to dedicate my life...

to protect Mariko.

That armor

belonged to Shiruba-Samurai...

the Silver Samurai.

It will stand watch

over the old man forever.

Logan?

Hey. Somethings not right.

Let go.

Logan!

Logan!

Logan!

Kuzuri.

Lets go. Come on, lets go!

Yukio!

Mariko!

Mariko!

Come on. Lets go, lets go.

Here, here! Here!

Move!

In here!

Move!

Keep moving, keep moving.

Move!

Youre bleeding. You need help.

Just keep moving.

Thank you for what you did back there.

- Those were Yakuza.

- Im fine.

Why are they after you?

Im fine. I can make my way from here.

You should go. Get yourself a doctor.

Thats nice.

This is one of those bullet trains, right?

I told you I dont need your help.

So what do they do, like,

300 miles an hour?

This cowardly attack was...

the work of Yakuza thugs.

A violent response to my efforts...

to crack down on organized crime.

They exited the North Gate.

She was with the stranger...

Your gaijin friend, where is he?

Last I saw,

he was protecting your daughter.

You are a toy doll.

A companion for a child

who has outgrown you.

Keep that in mind.

So, where are we headed, Mariko?

Where are we going?

Im going to the end of the line.

My family has a home in the South.

Thats stupid.

No offense, but theyre gonna know

to look for you there.

Not this place.

- You want to be left alone.

- Yes.

- I understand.

- Do you?

Oh, yeah. Trust me.

Problem is, if I do that...

I dont think youre gonna live

to see the end of the day.

You cant pretend sh*t isnt happening

when it is, princess.

Unless you want to die.

In that case, youre playing this perfectly.

What the hell?

What the hell is happening?

What happened to you?

We get off here. Lets go.

Just listen to me, will you?

We need to find someplace safe.

I dont understand.

How do you know they were Yakuza?

They were the same guys from the temple.

How do you know they were after me?

Look, we need to find someplace safe.

We need to get off the streets.

- I dont understand.

- Shut up! Listen.

Do you know this place?

Wheres downtown?

Straight ahead.

So, wheres the nice part of town?

Another eight blocks that way.

Good. Were staying here.

Lets go.

This is a love hotel.

A what?

A love hotel.

For couples, understand?

Right.

Hey.

Two rooms.

Adjoining rooms, on the same floor.

Right next to each other. Very close.

Same floor. Same floor.

What did she say?

She has no rooms available

next to each other.

Shes asking if we prefer

the dungeon, the nurses office...

or the mission to Mars.

Thisll do.

Liftoff! We have a liftoff!

Kind of homey, actually.

Where do you plan on sleeping?

I dont.

Thats a lot of blood.

I thought you were done being the hero.

But these guys were... trying to kill her.

Just let it go.

Its not hard to die.

Come to me.

This is Mieko from the hotel

and her grandson, Hitoshi.

Is he a doctor?

In a manner of speaking, yes.

Hes a veterinarian...

student.

Large animal.

Thanks.

You may have cut him once or twice

while he was stitching you.

Okay, okay, okay.

Hey.

Thank you.

I never needed this before.

What? Help?

That doctor, the one who helped

your grandfather, the blonde.

Who is she?

He met her last year

when he was in America for treatment.

Your grandfather told me my healing

could be taken from me, passed on.

Im not getting better, not like before.

She did this to me.

Blondie!

Blondie!

How much? How much, yeah?

How much?

You kept me waiting two hours.

You have no respect.

So you havent found them?

Dont play with me, b*tch.

I could kill you.

If you could make me feel something,

Harada, that would be sublime.

I can slit your pretty mouth open,

before you open it to say one more stupid...

I asked you to do one thing, little man.

Bring me the mutant.

I dont work for you.

I work for the House of...

You work for Yashida,

I get it.

Yet you cannot fulfill his dying wish.

My God, if you had any idea

how much you have failed him.

Where is Logan?

I am not done with him.

The mutant has powers.

Hes just a man now.

His flesh is weak now.

I did that.

I suppressed his power so he

could be taken.

You see, its me you should respect.

Just find them,

before the Yakuza.

We get off here.

Where are we?

Just outside Nagasaki.

This way.

This is the guy from the funeral, the archer.

He was your boyfriend.

Thats Harada.

We were village champions that summer.

He with the bow and me with the knives.

Harada and I were planning to get married.

What stopped you?

Grandfather.

He said we had to wait

until we were at least 15.

From the mountain, from the sea.

Chopsticks upright are a bad omen.

It resembles incense at a funeral.

Nothing is without meaning.

So, the other night at the house,

when you ran out in the rain...

what did that mean?

My grandfather was dying.

You knew he was gonna die.

Hed been sick for a long time.

It wasnt his death I feared.

So, what, then?

What did he tell you that night?

Mariko, why did your father hit you?

I was trying to warn him.

About what?

What did your grandfather tell you?

He told me that...

in three days,

when they read his will...

I will become

the most powerful person in Japan.

He gave it all to me.

The company?

I didnt want it.

He knew that.

I dont understand why he gave it to me.

It was all my father dreamed of.

Well, thats why.

What about this fianc of yours?

Nostromo.

Noburo.

Does he know about this?

No.

Why are you marrying him?

He seems like kind of an a**hole.

My father arranged it last year.

What?

It gives him a better access

to the political theater.

To disobey my father

would be to dishonor him.

I dont expect you to understand.

Youre not Japanese.

Our island is long and thin.

Trains only run in two directions.

I assure you Lord Shingen...

my officers are making every effort...

Then theyre idiots.

Youve wasted enough of my time.
