Ninja Kamui (2024) s01e10 Episode Script
Episode 10
1
Weakness is a sin.
Argh, that hurts!
Will you beg for mercy?
Good.
The only thing worth believing in
is your own strength.
If you desire fangs that are sharp enough
to kill anyone,
then come with me.
Again with the energy drink?
I dunno how you stomach that crap
first thing in the morning.
No thanks.
It'll help wake you up.
This tastes just like the nasty
cold medicine I had to drink as a kid.
You know, the sweet syrupy kind
that makes you wanna throw up!
H-holy crap, was that a laugh?!
You're imagining things.
No, I saw you smile!
C'mon, let me see it again!
-Get your eyes checked.
-Aw, there's no need to be shy,
Ducky-poo!
Just one more smile, c'mon now!
Don't ignore me.
Like I keep saying
Huh?
Listen, this place is
too desolate for her grave.
We gotta make sure
she doesn't feel lonely, ya know?
So after we're done
taking care of business,
go and give her
a proper burial, okay?
Back in her hometown.
Ninjas like us
we don't get to have hometowns
or even gravestones.
We just rot away as nameless corpses.
It's the fate that awaits us all.
So, let's make this the place
where she can rest in peace
near the people she considered family.
Sure.
We'll make sure
that her soul finds peace
by putting an end to all of this.
I'll hunt down Yamaji.
He's at the center of everything,
the source.
Eliminating him is the only way to
successfully dismantle the organization.
Let me handle AUZA.
We've got our hands on solid evidence
of their wrongdoing.
And once we leak that data
to the media outlets,
it'll become a feeding frenzy.
She gave her life for that info.
So there's no way
I'm letting it go to waste.
I really hate to ruin the mood,
but unfortunately
we've got big trouble.
So like, all of that data we nabbed?
It was encoded by a freakin' genius.
And unless we crack it,
nobody can open any of it.
Goddammit! So it's all locked up?!
Was that AUZA's doing?!
Nope.
The one who encrypted it
was the person who took it.
Huh? You mean Emma?
Yeah.
She obviously wanted to make sure that
it stayed safe no matter what happened.
At least until she passed it off
directly to you.
Well, all of her forethought
came back to bite us in the ass.
Because now we gotta solve
this stupid-ass puzzle
if we wanna take a look at the data.
Can you do it?
Maybe.
The first step is analyzing the algorithm
to figure out what type of
encryption method she used.
Wait a sec
Reports are coming in that a facility
under construction by AUZA
has been hit by a terrorist attack.
Officials have said it's likely that
extremist members of an ecological group
pushing for more
environmental protections
are the ones responsible for the crime.
What?!
Are you satisfied now, Mr. Secretary?
My company is the victim
of an unjust terrorist attack.
The explosion at the power plant
was not an accident.
Allow me to once again guarantee you
that our facilities are
100% safe and secure.
And you just expect me to believe that?
Obviously. I mean, come on.
Public opinion
is going to be on our side.
I've already had a "friendly" chat with
all the members of the Advisory Committee
that you were so concerned about,
and they had no problems with it.
And I suppose that you had a similar
"friendly" chat with the press, too, huh?
In any case,
there's no problem now that we've
cleared up the misunderstanding.
Let's get back to cooperating
and making those power plants
a reality, okay?
And then
we can all have a hand
in renovating the world of tomorrow!
I won't rush to a decision.
You still haven't convinced me
that it's as safe as you claim.
And further,
if you end up having trouble
like this a second time,
we're going to be forced
to reconsider the plan itself.
I strongly suggest you keep that in mind.
Also, while I'm at it,
I suggest that you learn
to end your conversations
in a less reprehensible way.
Otherwise, you won't be
making any friends.
I appreciate the good advice.
Brainless turd.
Just shut the hell up
and do what I say, goddammit!
Sir.
We've detected that someone gained
external access to the company's
main server by illegally hacking in.
What?!
It's possible some of the top-secret
data that was stored on the server
has been stolen.
Dammit to Hell!
Why can't
anything just go how I want it to?!
Things are not looking good, sir.
We've already obtained
all the development data
on the reactor and the Gusoku Gear.
It should not be difficult for us
to establish our own production line.
They beat us to the punch.
It's pointless to leak anything
to the press now.
Yeah, AUZA probably has
every outlet in their pocket already.
Journalism, my ass!
The bigger the scandal,
the greater the bribes
and corruption that they profit from!
What do you think?
We could try finding
independent media outlets
that are still willing
to come out against AUZA.
No.
The corpos have too much advantage
in an information war.
Leaking anything to the press
will just end with us getting
screwed over by media manipulation.
We need a platform that we know for sure
will boost our message
I know! Let's put it on ChikTak!
We can easily rack up to
three million views if it goes viral!
Here's the plan:
We display the AUZA
data over footage
of a busty bombshell
flaunting her chest and-
Huh?
I have an idea that might work.
You keep working
on cracking that encryption.
W-wait! Where are you going?
Friggin' crow
What's that thing?
A challenge to a duel.
A what now?
The ninja code is what unites us,
what keeps us safe,
and what allows us to live!
Therefore, we must also meet our end
by the ninja code!
We must meet our end by the ninja code!
"Ninja"?
That is the name of the strongest
breed of warrior known to man.
And whoever stands
at the helm of the ninjas
is someone with enough power to
rule over the entire world.
"The power to rule over the world"
I-I surrender
That's far enough!
You've already won!
Weaklings like this
have no right to be here.
This man is not a weakling.
He's a ninja just like us.
"Just like us"?
Yes.
A comrade who fights with us
to defend Japan.
Anyone who proves unfit
should be cast aside.
Choosing to cover for them
only leads to death.
Nobody survives in battle
by fighting alone.
It seems like you two
have differing opinions.
There's an easy way to prove
which one of you is right.
Just fight it out.
That's the ninja way, isn't it?
Fine by me.
That ends it.
It's a draw
You're good.
Despite how mean you are to other people,
you're really nice to those crows.
Guess "the reaper"
isn't so scary after all.
That's what people are calling you.
Since every single trainee
who fought you ended up
losing their nerve and
gave up on shinobi training.
Although, there was one exception.
What's the deal with that guy?
I guess you're interested
in more than just crows, huh?
You'll learn more about him
whether you like it or not.
After all, we'll all be training
to become ninjas together.
Those who successfully passed
the latest examination are
just these three.
I shall now assign you all a mission.
And should you complete it successfully,
then you shall be honored
with the title of ninja!
We got what we came for.
Now we just need to bring it back.
Let's hurry!
Wait.
Reinforcements?!
No, they arrived too fast.
Did someone leak our plans to them?
This is the only road out
It's only a matter of time
until they find us.
Go.
Hey!
Are you going to try
and hold them off by yourself?!
Goddamn freak!
Those who are weak die.
That is
just how it goes.
Hey! Hey!
Come on!
Snap out of it!
It's you
Hurry!
Cover my back!
That's all I have to report.
You did this to test them, didn't you?
We only seek the strongest.
Why did you come back?!
Your priority should have been
completing the mission!
Exactly.
We did exactly what was necessary
to ensure the mission would be completed.
There's no doubt you're strong.
But being united makes the three of us
capable of much greater things.
You're not alone.
Keep that in mind.
I was abandoned by my parents
after I was born.
I was supposed to rot
and die on that mountain,
but these birds kept me alive
by nourishing me with food.
I only have faith in two things.
These birds and my own strength.
I've never let anyone
cover my back before.
That was new for me.
If I accompany you two
can I see new horizons?
Is that possible?
What do you mean
you're leaving the organization?
Why?
Because we broke the code.
We made a pact
To put our lives in each other's hands.
To journey together!
I'm sorry.
Fine. Then you better kill me now!
Because if you don't
I'm going to be the one
who hunts you down!
HIGAN! MARI!
Man, this place is spooky as hell.
It used to be a ninja hideout long ago.
I can tell he's already here.
J-jeez, why did we even bother coming?
You sh-should've just ignored
his request for a duel!
Because he's part of the past
that I left behind.
And I can't move forward
without facing my past.
Exiled ninjas must face death.
I told you before that a time might come
when we would fight each other.
And now, here we are.
Zai.
Mike! What the hell?!
Crazy stuff, huh?
One of your agents on the verge of
retirement suddenly becomes a terrorist.
Let's take this somewhere private.
Emma died. Just FYI.
Oh, really.
But it was thanks to her that I got my
hands on evidence of AUZA's dirty deeds.
She stayed true to her duty
until the very end.
You, on the other hand,
are AUZA's lap dog.
The good news is
I don't think they bothered
to buy off every
single person in the FBI.
Because honest officers
must exist
who wouldn't hesitate to
kick their offer to the curb.
And since you've got
connections to AUZA
you must know exactly
who all those agents are!
Get to the point already.
It's simple.
I want you to give the evidence
that Emma found to those people.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
It sounds to me like
you've gone stark raving mad.
Besides, there's no good reason
for me to give in to your demands.
Listen, I'm not here to file a report
with my superior.
I'm here to talk with my partner who
used to CARE when people broke the law.
"Our duty is to protect honest citizens
from lawbreaking criminals."
Sound familiar?
It's from back when we first met.
Those are the exact words you told me!
Isn't that right?
Partner!
I don't recall.
That was ages ago.
I've found Mike.
Get over here on the double.
You can forget about
trying any cheap tricks.
Just come at me with everything you have.
You really should have killed me
back when you had the chance.
You are the embodiment of my mistakes.
And now I'm going to use your blood
to wash my past clean.
I have a duty.
Something I must see through.
And I cannot die until it is finished.
Let's rid each other of our pasts,
once and for all.
Weakness is a sin.
Argh, that hurts!
Will you beg for mercy?
Good.
The only thing worth believing in
is your own strength.
If you desire fangs that are sharp enough
