Ninja Kamui (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

1
The AUZA Reactor
It produces 2.2 million
kilowatts per second.
That's high power, the equivalent of one
and a half nuclear power plants.
Our newly-discovered
fuel source, cuborium,
can produce unlimited heat
via fusion reaction.
It's clean and low-cost.
The price of energy
in AUZA City is unprecedented.
Our customers pay 80% less than
anywhere else in the world.
Reinventing the world
of tomorrow
the AUZA Reactor.
So what do you think, Mr. Secretary?
It goes without saying, but we could
build even more power plants
with the backing of
the Department of Energy.
We can't fast-track this.
There are fisheries and
environmental groups strongly
opposed to any facilities
being built along the coast.
So even if the department
were to grant approval
I wish you wouldn't sell us so short.
We at AUZA actually formed
an advisory committee just the other day,
and the fine folks who agreed to join it
are everyone listed here.
What? That's impossible.
Animosity is really just
another form of keen interest,
so people getting to reverse their
positions is easier than you think.
There's no way these people
would ever agree to this.
Whoopsie-daisy.
Just how much did you
bite them off for?
Buy-off.
Rushing development like this
will always lead to failure.
We would never resort
to such a childish game.
Like I said earlier,
don't sell us so short.
Part of Yamaji's plan is letting AUZA
use his forces as their muscle.
They plan on seizing
all energy infrastructure
and then assume control
of each country from the inside.
After I became one
of their lieutenants,
I learned that the organization
was no more than AUZA's puppet.
He and the others no longer had honor
or respect for the ninja way.
That's why I feel
this was my destiny.
All the time I spent observing them was
so that I could ultimately assist you.
Why'd you have to go
and tell me all that stuff?
I mean, ninjas? Doesn't get
more dangerous than that.
Aw, hell, dude,
we're gonna be so screwed.
We don't have time
for your freak-out, man.
This place isn't safe.
They could attack us at any--
And whose fault is that?
You got me into this mess.
Listen, do you really think
you'd have been
any safer hacking away alone
in your nerd cave?
That's what happens
when you start snooping around and
messing with these guys.
And once you stuck your neck out, then
all you can do is keep pressing on.
So dig deep.
Remember your grudge
and help me bring him down.
Okay. I'm in.
But are you going to protect me?
Of course I'll protect you. But there's
something we're going to need first.
I need a computer, dude.
Hey, there was a name you
recognized on that list, right?
Who is that Emma person?
Ah, geez. We got to go through all this
crap because of some damn terrorist?
Here we go.
What the hell?
- Mobilize the drones.
- We can't.
The entire system is down.
Where's Yamaji now?
I don't know, but I'm positive that he
must be putting his plans into motion.
Our actions have left him
with no other choice.
We should make our next move
as soon as possible.
We'll head for this
unfinished power plant
and use the energy there
to supercharge your gusoku gear.
There should be some portable
energy tanks that we can take.
- Operational test?
- Yeah.
It's planned for tomorrow.
My intel says that
their lieutenants will be there
to make sure that the gear
will react properly.
That's great. I can force them
to cough up Yamaji's location.
You were in ideal form
during that last battle.
Remember the sensation
you felt then?
The less distracted you are,
the smoother the gusoku gear
will operate.
You must tame your rage.
My rage is not
something that I can suppress easily.
Be as cold as fire
and as hot as ice.
Mari used to tell me her
dream for you was to live on.
The gusoku gears' performance in battle
results from his heart and willpower.
But nevertheless
I will be the one to protect him.
Are you impressed,
Mrs. Defense Secretary?
It only lasts about five minutes
with the current battery system.
But when the suit is utilized
at maximum strength,
these are the kind of results
that it can produce.
I see now.
Ninjas can be very threatening.
Attention. We are now starting
the operations test as planned.
3, 2, 1.
The test worked.
I've managed to secure
a portable energy tank.
I'm heading your way now.
I've been looking for you, Judas.
You will not escape.
Interesting.
The warrior type, huh?
I've always wanted to bust it up
with an adversary like you.
And in the face of a true warrior,
I would neither run nor hide
in the shadows like a rat.
So let's settle this fair and square.
I know exactly what you're after.
You want to know
where the boss is.
I will tell you
if you can defeat me.
This is no game.
I'm just a beautiful human being
who doesn't want to stain his reputation
with any spite born out of battle.
Sounds like a trap to me.
It doesn't matter.
The fact remains we can't win
unless we face him head-on.
Come, now.
Let's make this a graceful battle.
The enemy must have
some plan up their sleeve.
So how can we tip the scales
in our favor before they use it on us?
The Reactor system.
That'll work. If I just shut down
their ability to resupply wirelessly
The system is down now.
That cuts off our energy supply.
All I need to do is call my crew,
and you two would be dead meat.
But I don't play like that when
I'm in battle against a true warrior.
The next time we meet, let there
be no interruptions, only elegance.
- I'd like to ask you something.
- What do you want to know?
Why do you go out of your way
to protect me?
I know you said you wanted
to uphold Mari's wish, but
it's not as if she asked you
to, right?
Yes. You're right.
I'm just being selfish.
It's part of a promise
that I made with myself,
to follow through
with everything, no matter what.
That's what my heart settled on
after Mari died.
I don't expect you to understand,
because it's something personal that I
have to accomplish for myself.
Mari used to tell me her dream
for you was to
live on.
Accomplish for yourself, huh?
It's my computer.
Someone's booted it up.
Is it the organization?
That would be
the most natural conclusion.
Or maybe
Thank God we were able
to take it without any hassle.
Gotta hand it to you.
That FBI badge is hella useful.
It can be.
How long do you think
you can keep using it?
You can't go back there, right?
Being with the FBI isn't important.
When I'm all said and done, protecting
innocent citizens is a job I gave myself.
No luck. I can't crack this.
The encryption is just way too strong.
Come on. Don't you geeks
love this kind of stuff?
Yeah, but tech skills at this level,
only a genius could pull this stuff off.
It's a red flag, dude.
This Emma person must be
some kind of big-shot.
You might be right.
Hey, man. Come on,
you gotta watch the road.
Why'd the car's radio suddenly turn on?
This song
Hey, rookie, can you guess
why I asked you here?
- No.
- To chew you out, obviously.
You got to stop acting
on your own so damn much.
I know you're eager about the job,
but you've been pulling
this crap ever since training.
I act on my own
because I'm a professional.
I know there are times when a delay in
judgment can lead to costly mistakes.
That's not the point here.
What I'm trying to say is that
you lack faith in your friends.
- That is so not true.
- It is.
- Is not.
- Is so.
Shit. Do you even realize how long
I've been an investigator?
Just let me have
your back, okay?
In this business, your partner
is as good as family.
- What's the matter?
- It's nothing.
We're not family, though.
You're a colleague.
What the hell is your problem?
Why are you trying to go
and kill my good mood?
This is so painful.
It's just not my style.
What?!
Come on!
The ambiance in here is perfect.
Even the song choice
is totally on point.
Yeah!
Holy crap! They're coming for us!
Don't jump the gun.
Wait for my signal.
It's you?
I see how it is.
To think you were a ninja
the whole damn time.
- Are you in cahoots with the FBI?
- No.
Not a single person at the FBI
knows the truth.
I was simply just following orders.
So you're a ninja and a spy, then?
What I did was inexcusable, and
an apology won't help that now.
You make it sound like you
don't even want to say you're sorry.
That sounds about right.
Well, good for you, but that sure as hell
doesn't sit right with me.
You put me on this guy's trail
just to lead me further
from the truth, isn't that right?
This is worse than just
stabbing me in the back.
What you did, it goes against
Sorry. I need some time alone.
I gotta process all this shit.
Son of a
Damn it!
I'm sorry for keeping
the truth from you.
It was a duty you swore
to uphold until the end, right?
- What's this?
- This is my sworn duty.
My daughter died in an accident,
and I couldn't save her.
Those are the words
she left behind.
It's something that nags at me,
like a curse I can't break.
I'm always thinking,
"I got to do this.
I got to see it through."
My heart feels bound to it.
And if experience
has taught me anything,
it's that all humans
are like this.
Everybody goes through life
burdened by some curse.
Now I know the same
is true of you.
Besides, I wasn't pissed off
by the fact that you were
hiding things from me.
I told you before.
Come on, let me have your back.
This is a lovely drawing.
It may seem like a curse
to you now,
but there might come
a time down the road
when it proves to be useful.
Care for a drink,
just like old times?
Ah, shit!
AUZA is building more and more
of these power plants in a bid
to take control of this
country's energy infrastructure.
And the ninjas are the force
they use to accomplish that?
No way.
When the hell did they develop
this kind of technology?
It's totally unbelievable.
This footage here,
it would never pass as evidence.
It would quickly
be passed off as fake.
However, we cannot afford
to just sit around here
and twiddle our thumbs.
Letting their plans come to fruition will
mean the end of this country.
Those frigging bastards.
In any case, we'd like you
to either cover up this incident
or make a public announcement
that will put the minds
of our citizens at ease.
Okay, okay. It's not a problem.
The trust you have placed in us
can endure a small hiccup like this.
