Original subtitles

Since time began, a war has been waged in the shadows between the armies of

good and evil.

It may be fought on a grand scale or within the heart of a single individual

or even a child.

The evil has taken many forms and used the darkest of arts.

In our time, they call themselves simply...

The hand.

The good follow the way of Kimaguri.

Its masters can see the future and perhaps even bring back the dead.

Legend tells of a unique warrior.

A lost soul.

This warrior is a woman.

A motherless daughter.

And it is her destiny to tip the balance between good and evil.

She is a treasure.

And both sides seek her out as the final weapon in an ancient war.

Perimeter, what's your status? Delta team, clear.

Alpha, clear.

Bravo, secure.

Doesn't matter.

You can't stop her.

Nobody can stop her.

Her?

I was afraid if I told you, you wouldn't take the job.

I never should have hired you.

Who do you think's coming for you?

You may have heard of her.

Her name... is Elektra.

You find that funny?

She's an urban legend, sir.

That woman died years ago.

Really? Well, then somebody must have brought her back from the dead.

You know, Bauer, when you've done the things I've done, you make a lot of

enemies.

My private security detail.

The best money could buy.

This non-existent woman killed 14 of them in half an hour.

I barely got away.

Spent the next two days in Monte Carlo wondering why she let me go.

And she came for me.

I was under the protection of the hand itself who sent their best.

Although they seem more interested in killing Electra than in protecting me.

She cut him down like wheat.

Took maybe 10, 15 minutes max.

Didn't really think why I kept getting away.

So here I am.

No, I understand.

She wanted me to feel this.

What it's like.

To have nowhere to go.

Nowhere to turn.

How's your perimeter doing now?

Delta, what's your status?

Son of a bitch.

You know, the better the assassin...

Also, they can get to you before you know that they're... Alpha, Bravo,

report.

They say Electra whispers in your ear before she kills you. Alpha, Bravo,

report. It's too late for your boss power, but you still have a chance.

You can't fight a ghost, Bella.

Here we are at last.

Guess it's all true.

The red outfit.

The knives.

So what happens now?

Will you just kill me? Straight out? Just cold?

Don't worry.

That's not that bad.

Yeah? How do you know?

So am I to understand that with all the power of the hand, that the treasure

continues to elude us?

Yes.

Perhaps if we had pursued it sooner and more aggressively.

You dare to blame Master Roshi?

Seems our methods are too mild for Kirigi.

Not at all, Sensei.

But if we cannot have the weapon ourselves, allow me to make sure it does

not fall into the hands of those who may use it against us.

Master.

Things like this must be handled smoothly, quietly.

Then we'll have smoothly measured me, but quickly.

Grigri?

Yes, Father?

Hey, you think that's safe, leaving the doormat like that?

Jeez, Electra, you're going to end up with a bullet in your head.

I brought you a little something.

No, stop, McCabe.

Don't put it down. I had to clean there.

Why do you always do this?

Get rid of my DNA.

Ah, DNA, of course, right.

Silly of me. Listen, I just picked this up.

I know you like to look.

It's all there.

Less than my 10%.

Half to Barbados.

And half to the bank on the Isle of Man. You know, you can do a lot better in

mutual funds. I know a guy who could put you in touch with his... No thanks.

Or not.

Look, I don't want to tell you how to do your thing, but quite a body count on

this one, Eve.

You're only getting paid for DeMarco.

Was it necessary?

Had to be done.

Did it?

Elektra.

Did it?

Okay.

Anyway, spreads the legend.

Besides, they were gonna kill me.

Of course they were. Absolutely.

And, speaking of which, as your agent, I am obligated to tell you we just got an

absolutely fantastic new offer, but that last job... Let's skip this one. I need

a breather.

Great idea. I'm just saying it's a lot of coin. I'm tired.

You're tired? Well, then you better get yourself some sleep, because you are

going to crash, baby. You know that.

You even get laid?

It's a lot of money, this new offer.

Okay.

Fine. You know what, look, you want to take time off, take time off.

Call me when you want to work.

How much? Just tell me.

Two.

I'll give it to somebody else.

They wouldn't pay that to somebody else.

You got that right.

I asked specifically for you.

Location's in there. I'll call you when I get the target.

Get some sleep.

You might want to reflect a bit.

Again! Clear!

Do you know the way, Elektra?

Kimaguri?

The ability to control time, the future, even life and death.

I know I'm the best student here.

Not the best.

The most powerful.

You understand violence and pain.

But you do not know the way.

Teach me, then.

That's my point.

I can't teach you.

I want you to go.

Is this a test, Sensei?

No.

Not a test.

Just go.

I don't have anywhere to go.

Client says he needs you there a couple days early. Says that's part of the

deal.

Why?

No idea.

Just wants you to wait. I just want to get this over with.

Hey, me too.

Listen, why don't you tell me about the view? I hear it's gorgeous out there.

You know, you got the...

Come on, Elektra. Keep pedaling. Five more minutes.

Don't use your hands. Don't be lazy. Only use your feet.

Let's go. Let's push, push, push, push.

Nicholas, honey, please.

She's just a kid.

Keep going, Elektra.

killed me.

What are you doing here?

Nothing. I'm friends with the Wheelwrights.

Damn it, you cut my friggin' jacket.

How did you get in?

The front door was unlocked.

No, it wasn't.

Yeah, it was.

Look, the people who live here let me come in all the time. Ask anybody.

So who are you anyways?

My name's Al. What'd you steal?

Nothing. What do you think?

Please

don't

call the cops.

My dad will kill me.

In some parts of the world, they just cut trains.

How did you do that?

You know I can't sit still, McCabe. Call me with a name. My client says he needs

you there a couple days early.

Wants you to wait. I have nowhere to go. That's not that bad.

Nowhere to turn. Wants you to wait. Call me.

Just call me.

Wants you to wait.

Are you looking for me?

Hi.

Are you the new tenant?

Eddie Ferris, the realtor, he said. A young woman taking it for the month.

What do you want?

Sorry, this is kind of awkward, but have you seen a girl?

13-year-old, blondish hair to about here.

My daughter, Abby.

We had a fight yesterday. I saw her late afternoon.

Oh, you did?

She broke into my house.

Shit. Really?

She knows the wheel rides.

She didn't take anything, did she?

No.

Good.

Look, if she broke something, I'm happy to pay for it.

I'm Mark Miller. We're in the little cabin two houses down.

Okay, thanks.

McCain.

I'm sick of sitting here.

If I don't get a name soon, I'm walking.

Hey.

How long have you been standing there?

Like a minute.

What did you tell my dad?

Did you tell him I broke into your house?

Yeah, because you did break in. Well, you didn't have to tell him.

I thought you were cool.

I'm not.

Yeah, no kidding.

Now he's on my case.

He made me come ask you to have Christmas dinner with us.

Of what?

Christmas.

Dinner, December 25th.

Did you know today's Christmas?

Thank you. I can't.

I have something to do.

What?

Everything's closed.

You're on an island.

Come on, please?

It's just the two of us every night, and I'm bored out of my skull.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Why?

You counting?

No.

So will you come?

Please? Because if you don't, I'll just keep breaking into your house.

I have to change my clothes.

Great.

I'm Abby.

Electra.

I told you not to leave the house.

You didn't even know I was gone.

Abby.

Chill, Dad.

We have a guest.

I'm sorry. She told me that you'd invited me.

I don't want to.

I'll just... No, please stay. I'm glad you're here.

Can I get you a beer?

Wine? Water.

Her name's Electra, Dad.

Electra.

Like the tragedy.

Her parents must have had a sense of humor.

So when she sees all the cute guys who like me, just as Fred instead, she

accidentally spills poster paint all over my model of the Taj Mahal. So I put

glue in her shoes.

I got suspended for that, and then I got expelled for fighting, but that was way

back in the day in, uh... Baltimore.

So I was a little surprised to see you take the wheel right place.

Not many renters this time of year.

It's just for the month, for work.

What do you do anyway?

Layoffs, payroll reduction, that sort of thing.

Sounds boring.

No, it is boring.

I like your bracelet, by the way.

Do you know what those are?

They're warrior beads.

They're from Indonesia.

Centuries ago, you had to be the best fighter in your village to earn them.

I bought them off eBay.

Is there a school here on the island?

We're trying homeschooling for a while.

I read a college level and I'm doing algebra one on my own.

She's a good student.

It's the behavioral stuff that's been a problem.

I have authority issues and I don't take bullshit well. Don't speak in there.

Hey, Abby.

Suddenly I got a teenager on my hands.

She's hurt on herself.

You can tell, huh?

Most people think she's a slacker.

No, I shouldn't.

Merry Christmas?

Where's her mother?

She died a couple of years ago.

Back in Baltimore.

Yeah.

Drunk driver.

My mother died when I was young.

I should go.

I have work. Come on, it's early.

Thanks for dinner.

What? Good morning.

You just got a delivery.

It's a double.

Which makes double the money. Yeah, that's why the big bucks.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Good. Then there'll be no problems.

I'll call you when it's done.

Cosmath going.

How do you think it's going?

What do you mean you're not doing that now or not ever?

Too many variables, not enough background.

Background?

See? We'll just send somebody else.

If you're not too busy, young lady, feel free to tape the windows.

Now!

Can I talk to you?

Can we talk inside?

Hey, what's up?

Can you go to your bedroom for a minute, Abby? I need to talk to your dad.

Now.

Go, Abby.

Who are you?

Don't lie to me. What?

They won't just kill you.

They'll kill Abby.

Dad!

Go!

Okay.

Who gave you the order?

I don't know.

Thank you.

I believe Kirigi wishes to address the Council of the Hand.

Venerable Master, despite your delicacy, And subtlety.

You have failed to solve the problem of the treasure.

Master Roshi gave that task to me.

Yes, exactly.

And my men are taking care of it. Your men are dead.

Killed by the female Electra Gaijin.

Your forces are an abomination.

Master Roshi, the hand cannot afford to lose a treasure for another generation.

So I humbly request you allow me this task.

Perhaps with a little less delicacy, my forces will not be defeated by mere

woman. The task is yours.

Completed. And you will have proven yourself worthy of leading this council.

Oh, that's just great.

The hand.

Of all people.

So who's going to help you out on this one, E?

Stick? Just give me his location.

Sure, no problem. I got it, Hans.

God damn it.

You're up, lineman.

Double combo, triple carom on the 4-3-2-1-6 with the bank Marseille.

You don't need to call all your shots, Pops. Just the first one.

That is the first one.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You've got to be kidding me.

Eight ball in the corner.

Blind my ass.

Leave your money on the table.

Here's a dollar and a half. Go play some pinball.

Why do I always have to miss the good stuff? Just go.

Electra. Same work, same perfume.

They need your help.

Over here.

This is Mark Miller.

Mark and his daughter Abby are being chased by the Hand.

They need your protection.

I'm leaving them with you. The Hand is your business, not mine.

And yet you saved their lives. Why?

What did you imagine would happen next?

I didn't really have time to think about it.

Blind instinct.

Then you and I are back where we started, Electra.

Did you ever ask why the hand was after them?

They don't know.

Really?

Mr. Miller doesn't know?

I do know.

The hand wanted something he couldn't give.

He tried to run.

In what?

They killed my wife, Abby's mom.

There was no drunk driver.

I lied. You're on your own.

Why did you really save them, Electra?

Some kind of penance?

Down payment on your sins?

Has she told you what she actually does for a living, Mr. Miller?

She saved my life and my daughter's.

That's enough for me.

Then you landed on the lucky side of the street.

Dear me, you son of a bitch.

Well, Electra, you have a chance.

You gotta run.

As far as you can, as fast as you can. South America, Africa. Change your name.

Change your appearance.

You're not coming with us? No.

I can't.

Why not? Isn't that part of your code or something?

I don't have a code, Abby.

How are we supposed to defend ourselves?

We'll be okay, Abby.

No, we won't.

Wake up, Dad. We won't.

They're gonna hunt us down.

Just like mom.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

What's wrong?

She's down the street, three blocks over in the parking lot.

We need to kill the Gaijin assassin first.

Should we go now?

Not here.

Keep track of them.

I'm a sucker, Mom.

So, um, you really kill people for a living?

Yeah.

Why?

It's what I'm good at.

That's messed up.

Well, well.

Reluctant assassin.

Sorry to drag you into this, McCabe.

Me too.

Hi.

I'm Abby.

Hello, Abby. I'm wondering what you're doing here.

There's plenty of room in the house.

Go ahead and help yourselves with whatever you need.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You want to pull the trigger or should I do it?

Oh, hey.

You're crashing on me, baby. I said you'd crash and you are crashing.

I just want to get them someplace safe. Give them a chance.

They're already dead, E.

They got no chance.

Don't go down with them.

I'll need passports.

I'll need plane tickets.

Throw in some season tickets to the Lakers.

I don't want you to tell her anything.

Why can't we tell her? We don't know anything about her.

She saved us.

Because she doesn't really know who you are. If she knew... She's my friend.

Your friend?

She's the only one I have.

And I do not want to die with her. You're not going to die.

Did you ever say that again?

What's the matter? Is something wrong?

They told me to change my appearance, so... No, it's... You look

great.

Thanks.

Can you show me how to use those things again?

Salad tongs? Size.

Size.

They're not for you.

I want to learn how to defend myself.

They're offensive weapons.

They're for killing.

Can you use them?

I don't want you to be like me.

I do.

Do you want to learn something really, really difficult?

Close your eyes.

What is this, yoga?

No, it's called Kimaguri.

It's more valuable than learning to use a weapon, because it allows you to see

what's going to happen before it happens.

It's intense. How do you do it?

Concentrate.

Meditate. Let go of yourself and see everything around you. It's not easy.

Well, how long did it take you to master?

I never actually finished my training.

I only know enough to keep myself alive.

But... There are true masters, like Stick, who can use Kimigure to bring

back the dead.

Wow.

Close your eyes and breathe.

How are you doing?

You're still alive.

Thank you.

Don't thank me, Mark.

Please.

You don't really know what I was doing. What you were doing there?

Sure I do.

You were there to kill us.

You knew it as soon as you took the well right, please.

I'm not asking for it.

E, get back.

No!

What happened?

That bird's been hanging around here since late yesterday.

They're here.

They're here.

Let's use the truck.

We won't make it.

That's the best way. Trust me, there isn't time.

Use the cellar. There's a tunnel. Take you out past the orchard of the trees.

Head north.

What about you?

Shit.

Let's go.

Be careful. Keep them safe.

Don't tell me the circus isn't done, huh?

Say what?

You might as well kill me now because I ain't talking.

Talking is not necessary.

But I accept the first half of your proposal.

They're in the woods.

Typhoid. Stone.

Tattoo. Get Kinko. Head there now.

Hurry!

Hold up.

Thank you.

Why didn't you tell me?

Ah, you are the little treasure, aren't you?

The war is over.

The war has just begun.

Move back, Abby.

She's safe.

Another day, old man.

You'll be fine.

Rest now.

Don't look for your opponent.

Know where he is.

I'm blind.

And I see more than any of you.

Because I don't look.

You

had

no right to drag me into this, Dick.

This whole war with the Hand, everything, it's all about her, isn't

it? They call her the Treasure.

She was a prodigy from four or five years old.

Word got around fast.

The Hand wanted her for themselves. They tried to steal her.

Her father spirited her away.

And you set this up?

The contract, McCabe, all of this. You hired me to kill them.

You're entitled to your opinion.

The father and his daughter stick. You manipulated me.

Did I?

Was all this a test?

Everything from the day you threw me out has it all been a test?

What if I had failed?

Some lessons can't be taught, Electra.

They must be lived to be understood.

When you came here, you were filled with anger.

All the decency you once had poisoned by...

violence and tragedy.

This is not the way.

This is not our way.

You talk in riddles, old man.

It keeps my students alert.

I always knew your heart was pure.

You simply needed to see it for yourself.

What about Abby?

As long as Karigi is alive, she's only safe here.

She has no choice.

Two, three, four.

Still breaking and entering, you see.

Sorry.

You'll need it. Keep practicing.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

Don't apologize.

You did what you needed to do.

I didn't want to lie to you.

Neither did my dad.

It made me sick not telling you. Everybody lies, Abby. Nobody tells the

truth about themselves.

Including you.

Especially me.

The layoffs and payroll reductions.

Like that.

And the, uh, the counting.

Sorry? OCD.

I don't have OCD.

I had it when I was a kid, but I haven't done that in years. You were just doing

it. When you walk slow like that, what are you doing?

Are you counting?

Don't mock me. I'm still your superior.

Maybe.

Wanna find out?

I'm gonna go find my dad.

Don't force it. You're forcing it.

You'll be better than I am.

Stay here.

What do you want?

To finish it. You and me. No help from Stick, no help from your father.

Winner take all.

And when I kill you, the little one is ours.

And when you don't, she is free.

Forever.

Agreed?

Agreed.

We will meet where it all began.

And it will end where it all began.

For you at least.

Clever girl

We

meet

again

Now you'll remember.

There's nothing you can do.

So the balance tips to me.

Let her go!

Brave girl. Taught her well.

But it's time for a new master.

Is that what the blind man's been teaching you?

Not good enough.

But you'll learn to anticipate your opponent.

I'm not leaving you. You're a pain in the ass. Just like you. One, two, three.

Tattoo, the treasure's here.

Thank you.

Stay close, Abby.

Nice trick.

I haven't seen it before.

Abby!

Where are you?

Electra? Not exactly.

You know, I used to be the treasure.

And I don't like being replaced. So let's keep your death between you and

me.

Enough. It ends now.

I told you, there's nothing you can do.

You sleeping, Elektra?

Come on, let's go.

Keep going, Electra.

Keep going.

She's a kid.

I don't want to stay here.

Electra.

What?

Don't worry, Electra.

I'll take good care of her.

Abby, listen to me.

Listen to me.

I always knew your heart was pure.

You simply needed to see it for yourself.

Come here.

Come here, Abby.

I just found you.

Thank you Take good care of her

Sorry

So what's next?

Karigi's gone. No one's after you.

Back to school?

Go to the beach and get a tan.

And get ice cream.

You gave me my life back.

You gave me mine.

Will I see you again?

We'll find each other.

Please don't let her be like me.

Why not?

You didn't turn out so bad.

I don't want it to be so hard for her.

It's up to her.

Anyway, your second life's never really like your first, is it?

Sometimes.

It's even better.

When breathing's a burden we all have to bear And trust is one thing

we're taught never to share Somehow you just seem to shine

a trap of what we're taught to believe when night overcomes daylight so hard to

perceive and the clock keeps on ticking through nights shattered skies where the

stars are all broken and so are the ties but the one thing remaining

is you

Fear falls hard like rain again Washing over

me You say nothing will ever change

What do I believe?

You fall deep inside again Nothing left to

see Weakness fills your

Cause you were never strong enough Close my

eyes again and pray that I will not give up

I

try to see your face again A photograph of me

Nothing left for me You try to find your place again

Waiting just to breathe Weakness takes your

Forgive me if I'll ever face a worry.

This time alone could never cause any doubt.

But I've been called too long.

Such a strange time to find myself coming down as a rain.

With all these holes, my love To fill it up

From the middle This storm could stay

all night So can you stay

till we close Our eyes To your dreams

Just stay until we know we tried one

more time Cause laughing lovers

can overcome their closest need
