If we're going to survive for another 100 years, we'll have to get rid of the

Kamauchi demon first.

We're going to... Well, that's fine.

Let's talk after dinner.

I was told I'd be meeting Gordon Gonza, head of security, Mr. Whelan.

Grace Lee.

I'm Mr. Gonza's head of security now.

Mr. Whelan had an accident.

What kind of accident?

I broke both his arms and left him on the floor squealing like a pig.

I can see why you don't carry a weapon.

Perhaps I should put you to the test sometime.

If we were equals, I'm sure Mr. Gonza would not have gone through all this

trouble to bring you here.

This way, please.

The new eyeglass camera is working well?

So is Grace.

That's a Turo Nakamura, master of fashion.

If she'd taken him up on his offer, she'd be dead.

That man assassinated 12 Yakuza clan leaders in one night?

Interpol has confirmed Nakamura was responsible.

And the Yakuza believe he's committed at least seven more murders.

Pretty slick for someone who doesn't even use a gun.

That's part of Nakamura's unique charm.

In his hands, any object can become a lethal weapon.

There's a rumor he once made a garrote out of a knotted napkin.

A paper napkin.

So what's the world's premier assassin doing hanging out with L .A.'s second

biggest dealer?

Grace, we'll find out.

I don't think so.

I'm pulling her out as soon as she reports in.

You're doing what?

Is her work not satisfactory?

Let me see.

We put her in as a low -level soldier, and on her own, she rises to head of

security for the entire Ganza organization?

I call that satisfactory.

No, I call it hot -dogging.

I mean, she's in too deep for us to protect her, or even offer her backup.

That's too dangerous.

I understand.

I'm very sorry.

What's he sorry about?

Heck, if I knew, if I spent all my time trying to understand Chinese emotional

responses, I'd never get my job done.

Well, that sounds like the basis for a strong relationship.

Have you ever noticed how Sammo responds when you say thank you?

Check this out.

Hey, Sammo.

Would you hand me that folder, please?

Thank you. No, no, no.

I can't believe I've never noticed that before.

I want to try.

I don't know. You're messing with some pretty powerful cross -cultural stuff

here.

Sammo, excuse me. Would you mind handing me my coffee?

Thank you. If my student has failed, it is because I have taught her poorly.

I will help her.

I will find out why Nakamura is here.

Now look what you've done.

Let's start with Whelan. Gans is the whole head of security.

We need to talk to your boss. He's busy.

Too busy to talk about Otaru Nakamura?

Boss, we got two strangers. One black, one Asian.

Mr. Nakamura.

I didn't mean any harm to Miss Lee.

I'm not going to kill you, Whelan.

At least not for grabbing a quick feel off Miss Lee.

Tell the truth.

I've had that temptation many times myself.

Thank you.

Thank you. No, no, no.

That's right.

Don't be so quick to thank her.

I just said we wouldn't kill you for the great grope.

Oh, my God.

It's because I know too much about the Bolivian operation.

You always speak so freely about the Bolivian operation.

No. No, I mean, there's nothing to talk about. I mean, I don't know anything

except Gaza has some big deal going with the Bolivians.

And?

And, uh... You're going to make it happen.

Hardly a trace of an accident, Mr. Gonzo.

I am impressed.

I assume Miss Lee has helped you settle in.

Mr. Nakamura is staying in the presidential suite.

Excellent, excellent.

Be sure, if there's anything you need, let Miss Lee know.

When I am on a job, my comfort is unimportant.

I once spent three weeks in the charnel pit behind a slaughterhouse waiting to

acquire my target.

Unfortunately, we can't promise that level of luxury without minibars fully

stocked.

Have you seen this waiter before?

I don't pay attention to waiters. It's the kind of thing that can get you

killed. I'll go check him out.

She's very thorough.

Word of advice.

Admire her all you want.

Just do it from a distance.

Are you trying to get us both killed?

He is risking his own life to save yours.

I didn't know I was in that much danger, Lola. Amy believes you are.

She wants you to come in.

Before my job is done?

We don't have time for this. Grab Grace and get her the hell out of there.

I just need a little time.

We know about Nakamura.

We know about the Bolivian, do you? But did you know the target is a public

official?

I hope to get the name by tonight.

This is a very good look.

Not good enough. Bring her in.

I'm sorry, I can't hear Amy say it again.

Amy said 24 more hours for you. I say what?

Let me talk to Sammo. Amy, we're breaking up. I'm sorry.

You cannot afford to mistake with Nakamura.

He's very dangerous.

So am I, Lawrence.

Problem? Nothing that'll interfere with our business.

Everything you need to know is in that envelope.

We're under somewhat of a time constraint here.

Of course, you wouldn't know that if you looked inside the envelope.

I will, once we've agreed to my fee.

I'm under the assumption that we agreed already.

That was before I knew how difficult the assignment was.

Well, unless you can read through Manila envelope, you still don't know. But now

I've met Miss Lee.

If this is something she can't handle, it's worth twice what we discussed.

One million now, one million tomorrow morning.

Two million when the job is completed exactly at 3 p .m. tomorrow.

He doesn't need your protection.

Your money might.

Grace is head to Nakamura's room.

She better be careful.

This guy supposedly took out an executive and three bodyguards with a

I'm sure Sam will train Grace to fight off an assailant armed with a writing

implement. Grace knows what to do when she's along with Nakamura.

Excellent accommodations, good pay, travel to exotic places. It is not an

unpleasant life.

It can be solitary, however.

Well, I'm not surprised considering you kill everyone you meet.

Not everyone.

I could never deprive the world of someone like you.

Unless you were getting paid for it.

If I were to reach out right now and touch you, would you break both my arms?

You'd need both your arms to complete your assignment.

However, you may not need your spleen.

Let me see you.

Two of them.

We know who Gantley is. We know who Nakamura is. But who the hell are these

guys?

Very impressive work back there.

I wish I could say the same.

I care when I'm paid.

Security is your job.

I bet you have beautiful eyes.

My dad was furious when I wanted to be a cop.

Said it would make me a tool of the entrenched power structure.

Might as well shave my head and tattoo a swastika on my arm.

We didn't speak for years.

It's funny, because I think we both always realized that the real reason for

anger...

If he was terrified, I'd get hurt.

It's hard to be a daughter.

It's not much easier being a father.

Why does he allow this man to come up behind him?

Big surprise.

The ninjas aren't talking.

In less than 12 hours.

The world's most lethal assassin is going to kill a public official and

deal between Gordon Gans and the Bolivians. And we have no idea where,

who the target is.

Oh, I didn't just want to stop it.

All right.

Today's event's involving public figures.

The mayor's handing out a word.

Two city council members are hosting benefits.

The undersecretary of state for treaties and tariffs is giving a speech.

That's got to be it.

Because if the president, the vice president, the entire cabinet, all of

Congress, and the restroom attendant at the White House suddenly die, he takes

over.

And the attorney general is meeting with the local head of the INS.

Fascinating the highest law enforcement officer in the land might impress

Bolivian drug smugglers.

Might.

Oh, boy.

What, you've got another idea?

Something better.

A girl inside.

Oh, oh, great, great. Well, let's just hang out here and wait for her to

Little miniature golf until she calls?

Look, if you've got a lead, Dylan, I'm there. But until then, I'll...

There are people in the LAPD who think we don't deserve these officers. You

trying to prove them right?

Doesn't throw straight.

No, don't even think about it.

I wouldn't waste a flick of my wrist with this junk.

Look at that.

It's stamped and machined, not folded steel in traditional Japanese style.

Made in USA.

Why try to bring weapons through customs when you can buy them locally?

I've taken enough stuff like this off young punks. I got a pretty good idea

You should call your father.

Guess you weren't reading the papers last year.

Atticus Dillon.

Noted civil rights attorney.

Dead at 63.

That

was great.

Ganza just gave Nakamura the second million.

The hit schedule for 3 p .m. today.

Who is the target?

She doesn't know that yet.

We need to find out who bought it and bring him in.

Of course Mr. Anakadai is familiar with that name.

Wataru Nakamura, the suspect in the death of his friends.

That sounds like a possible motive.

For what?

Bunch of guys with the same tattoo busted up a hotel yesterday.

We think they were hunting Mr. Nakamura.

Oh, come on, detective.

How does having the same tattoo make my client part of a criminal conspiracy?

Same way as employing goons who bought the weapons that were used against Mr.

Nakamura. What does your client have to say?

Mr. Anakadai was at one of his places of business yesterday, along with several

employees. We can provide names, if you like. These employees, they wouldn't

happen to be members of the ninja hit team he imported.

Mr. Anakadai is a businessman.

Who owns two restaurants, an office building, and that hostess club on

Street.

All of which are going to have serious problems.

Soon. Permit violations, licenses revoked, that sort of thing. Unless, of

course, Mr.

Anakadai can help us.

Come on. He tracked Nakamura all the way from Japan. He can help us identify his

target.

Is he planning on killing the Attorney General?

We didn't come here to listen to threats.

A threat and a promise are two different things, and I think Mr. Endicondite

knows that.

Wataru Nakamura is my blood enemy. If I could help him stop him, I would. I

would kill him myself.

What are you doing here?

I'm checking to see that your new accommodations are as good as your old

You think I didn't know you were here?

And that you checked out the satchel?

This is such a lonely profession.

And you would have made an excellent partner.

Which is why ninjas are known as the silent death.

Cover the bedroom windows.

I'll cover the door.

Miss Lee.

You have beautiful eyes.

I will hunt him down, kill him, and eat him.

Put your glasses in the right place.

Oh, I can think of a better place to put them.

We will find him.

He didn't even dread it.

And he left Grace in the bedroom. Now that's a man in a hurry.

But in a hurry to where?

Here.

555 -0068.

Millennium Terminal Information Line.

For ticket information and ferry schedules, press 1.

We're with the MCU.

Have you seen this man?

All right.

Let's go in there.

Let's go.

Let him through.

Better split up.

We'll be separate.

Please proceed to platform A. Get him!

Please proceed to platform A.

Tell me! Amy!

He's in here.

Black top, beige pants.

Don't hurt me, please.

Easy, man.

Ow, ow.

Get him out of here.

He is a complete

fraud.

So I have a low tolerance for pain?

There are worse faults.

Like being a low -life con man.

Major league con man. There's almost two million dollars in cash there. So

that's why you pretended to be a hitman.

To swindle Gans out of two mil. I made the best of a bad situation.

Speaking of which, what would it take for me to walk out that door with a

satchel? Divine intervention.

You can start by telling us who Gans wants to kill.

Beats the hell out of me.

Look, we know the name of the target was in that envelope.

I threw it out. Can't spend an envelope.

This is just great.

You're not a hitman.

I'm not even Japanese.

And you didn't kill those Yakuza leaders?

Well, actually, I did.

Not intentionally, of course.

A month ago, I had a small misunderstanding with the Tokyo police.

So they chased me into this fancy sushi restaurant.

I ran into the kitchen, put on a chef's apron, just as the Yakuza came in,

rounded us all up to cater a secret summit.

I've sent his prints to Tokyo.

We'll see if they verify his story.

I want to know why the Yakuza would snatch a bunch of sushi chefs. They

want anyone to know about the summit in advance and didn't want an assassin

slipping in with the chefs.

But they got one anyway.

So I played along, filleting fugu like the rest of them, only I didn't know

I was doing.

What are we missing?

Fugu. It's a poison puffer fish. If it's not prepared correctly, it causes

instant death.

Shame the fish didn't come with directions.

I took the screaming, writhing, and dying as my cue to leave.

And the rumors started to spread.

Every unsolved murder was credited to you, Nakamura, deadliest hitman on

With every Yakuza in Japan hunting me. But I was lucky.

I had a friend who knew Gordon Ganza.

Who was looking for a hitman?

I contacted Mr. Ganza, convinced him I was the right guy for the job, and he

flew me to L .A. To play killer just long enough to get as much of his money

you could.

And disappear, maybe by a nice island in the Caribbean somewhere.

Which brings me back to what I can do for you.

Take this and jam it into your neck.

Don't deny it. You liked me when I was an internationally famous assassin.

You still are.

Together.

You want me to go back?

Find out who Gonzo once killed.

I want the money and a new identity. What you're going to get is 20 years.

Do you want me or him?

The money and a new identity.

This came in for you, Commander.

Tokyo Police confirmed he is who he said he is.

A low -life grifter.

Get the name, then we talk.

So that big guy, is he like your dad or something?

Something.

So if I were to make a move on you, think you'd give me trouble?

He would be the least of your problems.

Where have you been?

Preparations. Three hours of preparation?

It takes time to sight a rifle.

He can't use a rifle in there.

It's for me, in case he fails.

Tartaglia will be someplace indoors.

That helps.

A little. We're only down to five or six possibilities.

Look, you're running out of time.

A clean kill takes seconds.

Traffic on the 405 could take hours.

You get caught in a jam going over that hill, you're dead.

What's in the valley?

The mayor in Encino, the attorney general in Burbank, then there's that

undersecretary of state of treaties and tariffs.

It's got to be the attorney general.

What about all the security?

They'll die free of charge.

Those people will not be easy to kill. They're armed like seals.

Hell, they probably are seals.

Seals?

They are at the soup?

Navy seals.

It's federal. We've got our answer.

And more questions.

Yeah, questions like, why does Gans want the Attorney General dead?

Ask him at the trial. We've got work to do.

I understand the location of the AG's meeting is classified, but your

already been breached. It's only the good guys who don't know where it is.

Look, the Attorney General has less than an hour to live.

You want to save his life or you want to follow rules?

Samuel. Where are you going?

To arrest Gensler. Without something concrete, we can't go near him.

In America, we have something called the Fourth Amendment.

I'm not American.

Well, wherever you're from, you still need evidence to convict. We have our

witness.

The only thing that witness could give the grand jury is a big laugh.

The last thing Nakamura is going to do is try to kill the attorney general.

Not the last.

The next.

Ready to deal?

You're not done yet.

Well, I cut you the target's identity.

We don't have Ganza. There isn't enough evidence to arrest him, much less win a

conviction. Not yet, anyway.

You're going to change that?

No, I'm not.

Okay.

Go. You're just going to let him go?

That was our deal.

Thank you.

You will give me an arm escort to the airport, right?

You only spread the word that I was killed or something.

You want to give me a number to call in case of emergency?

So who do you want me to kill?

I'd love to give him to you.

But for a favor.

Well, I am trying to expand my operation.

We can grant you access to new markets throughout Asia.

Including China?

China.

Japan.

Korea.

I don't know. I mean, Mr. Nakamura, he's very busy, you know, handling important

assignments for me.

which my people will guarantee for no additional cost.

The target is very well protected. If some of us die, if all of us die, so be

it. As long as Nakamura dies along with us.

Get yourself a deal.

I want to thank you for alerting us to the threat. We've already doubled the

security around the Attorney General.

Not necessary.

The hitter's going to be our man.

The primary?

Can you guarantee Ganza doesn't have a backup?

Well, we believe that he... No, believe.

Besides, we just pulled a few guys off the Undersecretary's meeting with

Bolivian Prosecutor.

Bolivian Prosecutor?

This wouldn't be the Undersecretary of State for Treaties and Tariffs, would

He's meeting with this guy Vargas, who's been taken on the cartels.

It's just a meet and greet, but we're keeping it quiet because there are a few

guys in Bolivia who'd like to see this Vargas disappear.

He might like it enough to make Ganza their exclusive distributor. I mean, if

makes it happen.

Fargus, he's the target.

And we just pulled half his security away.

You know, it's not too late for us to step out of here.

Head for the border.

Spend a couple months sleeping to babies on the shore.

Come on. You can't tell me you don't get lonely.

I've lived this life too long to believe that.

You've lived this life too long.

I hope Nakamura gets a chance to kill Vargas before Grace kills Nakamura.

To be with you or to be alone.

Tough choice.

Everyone ready?

As soon as Nakamura starts shooting, Vargas plays dead.

Then while the paramedics race in, Nakamura and Grace drive back to Ganza

collect the money.

And we've got a long conspiracy to commit.

George Lucas couldn't do it better.

Lucas?

He's with the force?

That's a yes and a no.

Airport security.

Emergency. Someone broke into the airport through the green van coming

I want some!

It's Anika Dye.

Thank you. No, thank you. Thank you.

Congratulations. It's not every day you take down a player like Ganba. On

multiple conspiracy charges.

Thanks to Anika Dye's testimony.

And thanks to me, too.

I mean, I did have something to do with bringing about this happy ending.

Just beginning and middle. You made miserable.

For which I'm being rewarded a new identity and a new home.

Flint, Michigan.

There's a lovely place.

Oh, it's really lovely. It's like Paris.

I understand it's an adorable house.

Perfect for two.

Pass.

One paladin to another.

It's not good to be alone too long.

When you're alone in your brand new house, don't even bother to think of me.

Hey, bae.

I know, I know. I violated the protocol, broke the rules, and ignored my

assignment. And the fact that I got the job done doesn't excuse it.

As a fellow police officer, I'm very disappointed.

As your teacher, I'm very proud.

And as your commanding officer, so am I.

We couldn't have done this without Grace on the inside.

Thank you for all your help.

You're very welcome.

See?

I can do it the American way, too.

I know. I have to turn in all of my surveillance equipment.

Beginning with one miniaturized vid cam.

It was right here.

I could have sworn I put it right here. That's a $15 ,000 piece of equipment,

Detective.

It was right here. I swear, I put it down right here.

I saw him.

He was in a black top, beige pants.

He has a red teddy sticking out. Pump. Sasha pumps. Real high pump.

Okay.

No, he's a transvestite. You've got to find him.

Left Kelly in the bedroom. Now that's a man in a hurry.

I wouldn't leave Kelly in the bedroom.

I might leave Grace in the bedroom, but I wouldn't leave Kelly in the bedroom no

matter what.

I got him.

He didn't even dress.

And he left me.

There isn't enough evidence to arrest him, much less when I was...

That's all, folks.

Next one is your turn. Yeah.

I'm so scared.

96 beat it
