The Wolverine Page #3

I have my fathers affairs to attend to.

Get out and find her!

Tell me you have more promising news

from your contacts.

They open the will in three days.

We are running out of time.

Soon, I hope.

Im sending men to the South.

Thats where we found the bodies.

If the Yakuza got into the funeral...

they had someone inside.

Theyll never find me here.

Youre not safe.

Im coming down there.

Theyll follow you.

Please.

Wait a few days.

Please. Im fine.

Logans here.

Hes wounded, Mariko.

Someones here.

Mariko?

I have to go.

Mariko?

A tree fell on the road.

The men could use some help.

Are you okay?

Tired.

Do you need something?

No.

This will help.

Its time.

What?

Please. Take it.

Thank you.

No.

Two hands.

Japanese sword require two hands.

Like that?

Thats it.

Its beautiful, Yashida.

But I cant take it.

Please.

Thank you.

Keep it safe.

Keep it safe for me.

Someday, I'll come get it.

Its time.

I was here when it happened.

Its how I met your grandfather.

We hid in there.

I heard the stories.

My grandfather would say...

what happened here was proof

that everything in the world finds peace.

Eventually.

That man can recover from anything.

Maybe you, too.

You dont sleep very well.

You call out in the night.

Whos Jean?

We should go back. Theres rain coming.

This isnt right.

You need this tied

like a proper samurai.

Your grandfather called me a ronin.

A samurai without a master.

He said

I was destined to live forever...

with no reason to live.

Was he right?

Yes.

Still?

Hey.

What are you doing?

This isnt going to end well.

Everyone you love dies.

Kuzuri.

Do you know what that means?

An animal.

A fierce creature

with long claws and sharp teeth.

It fears nothing.

When I was a girl, I had nightmares.

I'd wake up and run to my parents.

My father would get angry.

Go back to sleep. Face your fears.

My grandfather was different.

He told me stories about Kuzuri,

his friend.

Who he met at the bottom of a well.

He said the Kuzuri was magical

and saved his life.

He said Kuzuri would protect me, too,

as I slept in my bed.

Whos Jean?

Is she like you?

What happened to her?

She died.

I killed her.

Along with the Kuzuri.

Logan.

Mariko?

Logan!

Logan!

Mariko?

Mariko!

No! Logan!

No!

Logan!

No!

Mariko!

Logan!

No!

Logan!

Mariko! Mariko!

Logan!

Where are they taking her?

Where are they taking her?

Where, you piece of sh*t?

I no talk, gaijin.

I never talk.

Who hired you?

Uh-oh.

Take me to Noburo.

- Logan...

- Take me to him.

I need to tell you something.

Do it. Now.

You wait in the car.

- Logan.

- What?

I saw you die.

What?

I saw you die.

When? Just now?

A while ago.

But its not like

I get a complete picture.

More like looking through a keyhole.

But lm always right.

All I can see

is one part of a persons life...

their death.

And I saw yours.

So, what did you see?

I see you on your back.

Theres blood everywhere.

Youre holding your own heart

in your hand.

Its not beating.

I dont have time for this sh*t.

When I was five,

I knew how my own parents would die.

Then I watched it happen

from the back seat.

Look at me.

A lot of people have tried to kill me,

and lm still here.

Yeah...

but youre different now, arent you?

They can hurt you.

They can kill you.

Just wait in the car.

I said, wait in the car.

You need backup.

Youre not safe, not in your condition.

Just think of me as your bodyguard.

Sexy.

Come on!

Im coming.

Okay, round four. Here we go.

Drink for you, my lady.

Get out.

Not you.

Call me old-fashioned...

but I thought being engaged meant

you were done with this kind of bullshit.

I am the Minister of Justice. Do you

have any idea what I could do to you?

Really? Youre gonna try and talk tough,

standing there in your red underwear?

You have ten words...

ten words...

to explain to me why you,

the Minister of Justice...

would want your fianc

killed by the Yakuza.

If I dont like what you say,

you are going through that window.

You dont have the faintest idea

whats going on...

How many words was that?

Nine.

Nine. You have one word left.

Really?

Shingen. Shingen!

Keep going.

Since he got sick...

old man Yashida spent billions

on doctors, healers.

Stockpiling adamantium

at his lab in the North...

secretly trying to prolong his life.

He brought the company

to the edge of bankruptcy.

He was obsessed with you.

English!

Shingen lied, protected the old man...

concealed the debt

from stockholders and the board.

He tried to be a good son

and thought hed be rewarded.

And then the old man

left everything to his granddaughter.

If Mariko got all that power,

she would dump his ass.

Its true.

Mariko would have never

gone through with the wedding...

not once the will was revealed.

She never took to me.

Oh, really? A class act like you.

Shingen promised me

a fortune for my help.

So, you put a hit on his daughter.

Is that it?

Political careers dont last forever.

Thats right.

Wait! Wait! No!

You wanted the truth.

I told you the truth!

I didnt like it.

Wow.

How did you know

theres a pool down there?

I didnt.

Did you know I studied biology in college?

Genetics.

There are genes that skip generations.

Recessive genes.

Eyes.

Eyes. Hair.

Talent.

Temperament.

Not every child gets the same.

My father saw little of himself in me.

But in you...

he faced a mirror.

How did you convince my father...

to award you control...

of Asias largest corporation?

Youve gone insane.

Im just waking up.

If you kill me, you will lose...

what little honor you have left.

Fear not Mariko.

I dont want to hurt you.

I want to help you.

Help you end your pain...

what that mutant stopped you...

from doing last week.

I never wanted to die, Father.

Its alright, Mariko.

Come with me.

What is happening?!

More than you can imagine.

You.

Me.

Sorry to interrupt,

but I need your daughter alive.

What are you?

A chemist, a nihilist...

a capitalist, a mutation.

A viper.

Where is the security?

Shingen?

Logan.

This. This here.

Where is this?

Master Yashidas birthplace.

The company built a facility

into the mountainside.

How far?

500 kilometers from here.

I gotta get that thing out of me.

How?

No, stop, Logan.

I saw you die. Im never wrong.

Im never wrong.

Youre not always right.

You didnt know

the old man was gonna bite it.

I saw you die in a room like this

with your heart in your hand.

I cant leave her with

those freaks and killers.

Im the only chance shes got,

but not with that thing inside me.

- Youre going to die, Logan.

- Maybe thats okay.

No, listen to me, Logan!

No, stop. Logan!

Youre not gonna want

to watch this part.

No! Listen to me! Please, no!

No, stop. Listen to me.

Logan!

Move!

Stay away from him.

He killed your master.

Put hands on your sister.

And now you want him?

Oh, no. I cant see.

Youll always be a beggar.

Youre crazy.

Oh, no.

Yukio.

Logan!
