00:01:00What was that?
00:01:03Engine sounds were up.
00:01:04Are you sure it's okay?
00:01:06You better strap the baby in the back seat, honey.
00:01:21Robert? Robert!
00:01:25Hold on tight. I'm on my way back. I'm going to control the medical.
00:01:28All right. Here we go.
00:01:32I'm trying to get it jump-started. Hang on, Leia. I'll be okay.
00:01:36Honey, the altitude?
00:01:39We're losing a lot of pressure.
00:01:48Mayday! Mayday! This is BN4B.
00:01:51You're in trouble about 170 miles east of Tokyo, just south of Shokai Zan people.
00:01:56Coming!
00:01:59Mayday! Mayday!
00:02:02Hang on.
00:02:05Mayday! Mayday!
00:02:07Oh, Andrew. We're going to be just fine.
00:02:11If I can make it back to the clearing, I'm going to try to make it.
00:02:15Robert, do something!
00:02:27Mayday! Mayday!
00:02:30Mayday! Mayday!
00:02:33Mayday! Mayday!
00:02:52That's good.
00:02:57Do not be disappointed, Andrew. You are only a beginner.
00:03:01Your parents would have been proud to see how well you are doing.
00:03:04You must learn to use all your senses.
00:03:06And in that way, you will turn a disadvantage into an advantage.
00:03:11But I can't see. That's the most important sense.
00:03:17No.
00:03:19You have five natural senses.
00:03:22Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
00:03:28Now, which sense did you just use?
00:03:32Hearing.
00:03:34Right.
00:03:36But still, you reacted too late.
00:03:38A samurai learns to use all five senses, and then develops a sixth sense.
00:03:45Then he knows what will happen as it happens.
00:03:49He sees with the eye of his mind.
00:04:09There is something else.
00:04:12What is it?
00:04:13Kinjiro is close, but he doesn't approach.
00:04:17How is it that you know this?
00:04:19I sense his anger. It poisons the ear.
00:04:22Kinjiro, come forward and join us.
00:04:24As always, father, you have time for him, but not for me.
00:04:29That is not true. I love you both.
00:04:32Why does he say that?
00:04:33Because he fears you will one day become his equal, if not his superior.
00:04:39Now, the final practice.
00:04:48Fight.
00:05:02What?
00:05:03Congratulations. You have acquired the samurai's sixth sense.
00:05:09Should ever you lose an ability, trust your sixth sense.
00:05:13It will serve you well when your life is in danger.
00:05:17Thank you, father.
00:05:27As a symbol of your character and your accomplishments in the martial spirit,
00:05:32I bestow upon you the family sword of the Sanga clan.
00:05:41Remember your lessons well, my son.
00:05:43You are now the keeper of the blade.
00:05:46And with it comes the responsibility of upholding our long samurai tradition.
00:05:56Father!
00:05:58Father!
00:06:01Father!
00:06:04How is it you have chosen to give this?
00:06:07Disgusting!
00:06:09My sacred family katana, when I am your son, I am clearly the better swordsman.
00:06:14It is the proper choice, Kenjiro.
00:06:17Your brother has mastered the most important technique.
00:06:21You have not.
00:06:23You have yet to learn to defeat your greatest enemy.
00:06:26I have defeated everyone!
00:06:29Everyone except yourself.
00:06:32And that is partly why Andrew has surpassed you.
00:06:36Surpassed me?
00:06:39I should cut you to pieces right here.
00:06:42Kenjiro, your brother will be leaving us shortly.
00:06:47You must make your peace with him and with yourself.
00:06:51I am your son!
00:06:53Your own blood!
00:06:55Then behave like it.
00:07:02Please forgive me, father.
00:07:05I have dishonored you.
00:07:08We will talk about it later.
00:07:10But now, congratulate your brother.
00:07:12I have no brother!
00:07:15But I must offer you my apology in the way of our ancestors.
00:07:19There is no samurai!
00:07:21There is Yakuza!
00:07:22The way of gangsters!
00:07:25That is because I am a gangster, father!
00:07:28I am Yakuza now!
00:07:48Kenjiro, what have you done?
00:07:53You have disgraced our family.
00:07:56You are no longer welcome in this place.
00:07:58I order you to leave!
00:08:01Return when your skin and your soul have been cleansed of this evil!
00:08:10I will not spill your worthless blood now.
00:08:14But someday you will have to face me.
00:08:18One day, I will come for my sword.
00:08:48I love you.
00:09:19What is this?
00:09:23Wake up!
00:09:26Keep it down, guys!
00:09:27Is this the right place?
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:29All right, where the hell is this thing?
00:09:31Come on, let's go! Let's go!
00:09:32It's useless. Let's get the hell out of here.
00:09:34Hurry up!
00:09:35There's no place anywhere.
00:09:38Who is this guy?
00:09:40Let's go there.
00:09:41How do you get into this thing?
00:09:43It's like a freaking locksmith.
00:09:45Hurry up! Let's go!
00:09:48Let's go!
00:09:54What the hell?
00:10:00Heads up, we got guests.
00:10:01Right, he's a dead man.
00:10:02Let me give you two seconds to get the hell out of here.
00:10:04Come on, sucker.
00:10:18No!
00:10:41Who sent you?
00:10:42Tell me!
00:10:44Tell me or you'll never see again.
00:10:49Come on!
00:10:58You sure made a mess of Mickey.
00:11:00Looks like you killed them both, man.
00:11:03Guess it wasn't Mickey's day.
00:11:04Give me this door.
00:11:06Oh, man, what a mess.
00:11:08You got to break some eggs to make an omelet.
00:11:18What?
00:11:28You have lost the sword, our family's heritage.
00:11:33The power of your mind is weak.
00:11:38You should be cut to pieces by the sword you are unable to hold.
00:11:43This comes with disgrace and dishonor of shaming the Samurai tradition.
00:11:48No real father would accept a son whose cowardice has lost the sacred sword.
00:11:53This comes with disgrace and dishonor of shaming our family tradition.
00:11:57No real father would accept a son whose cowardice has lost the sacred sword.
00:12:03This comes with disgrace and dishonor of shaming our family tradition.
00:12:11You are a coward.
00:12:13You are nothing but dishonor.
00:12:15You are no longer a Samurai.
00:12:17You are an infiliation to the Samurai.
00:12:21You are dishonor.
00:12:23You are nothing but dishonor to the Samurai.
00:12:29I hate you.
00:12:32I hate you.
00:12:47I hate you.
00:12:54Die!
00:13:04You must rise above the pain of mortal men.
00:13:07Do not let cowardice drain your inner strength.
00:13:11To conquer one's own pain is a greater victory...
00:13:14than to overcome a thousand swordsmen in a hundred battles.
00:13:45After three months, the police investigation had come up empty.
00:13:49Then Finley of the Los Angeles Gazette called.
00:13:52He wanted me to go to Turkey and complete a story that Ben Levi had been writing at the time of his murder.
00:13:57I had agreed to go.
00:13:59Problem was to get Finley off the phone.
00:14:02Finley!
00:14:03Look, you know how I feel about being on time.
00:14:06Look, you'll like her.
00:14:07She'll be a...
00:14:08I hope you didn't.
00:14:09She's a good girl.
00:14:10She's a good girl.
00:14:11I'm not being on time.
00:14:12Look, you'll like her.
00:14:13She'll be a...
00:14:14I hope you didn't do what I think you did.
00:14:15Look, you're gonna work...
00:14:16No, what I need is a good photographer.
00:14:18This is an important assignment.
00:14:19You'll work well together.
00:14:21Look, there's the door.
00:14:22Finally.
00:14:23I'll talk to you later.
00:14:30Hi.
00:14:32Hi, you must be Janet.
00:14:33That's me.
00:14:34Sorry I'm late.
00:14:35Nice place.
00:14:37Thanks.
00:14:38You spend a lot of time in Japan?
00:14:40A bit.
00:14:41I read the piece you did on the Kurds in Iraq.
00:14:44Not bad.
00:14:45Oh, well, thanks.
00:14:48What went there?
00:14:49Just a family heirloom.
00:14:51Like what?
00:14:52They're just a sort.
00:14:54Are you gonna question me all the way to Istanbul?
00:14:57Maybe.
00:14:58Thanks for the warning.
00:14:59Maybe I'll just call Finley and get another photographer.
00:15:01I can't.
00:15:02He owes me this one.
00:15:03Gonna screw it up.
00:15:04I can't.
00:15:05He owes me this one.
00:15:06Gonna strangle Finley.
00:15:07He said you were going to cook.
00:15:09You like Chinese?
00:15:10Yeah.
00:15:11Good.
00:15:13You can order.
00:15:17He was a...
00:15:18Could you pass the soy sauce?
00:15:20Yeah.
00:15:24He was a close friend and a damn good correspondent.
00:15:27And the mustard.
00:15:30The Israeli.
00:15:31Yeah, Levi.
00:15:32We covered the Gulf War together.
00:15:34But he's not the one whose pictures are in the file.
00:15:36No, that was the Saudi prince whose death Levi went to investigate.
00:15:40So the Saudi got sliced up and Levi thought you might have some special insight into it.
00:15:44Yeah.
00:15:45Why?
00:15:47Because he was killed with a sword.
00:15:50As in sword?
00:15:52No, that was more than just a sword.
00:15:54Let me see the pictures.
00:15:55Okay.
00:15:59But you're not gonna like it.
00:16:02Oh, God.
00:16:04He has not exactly dinner material.
00:16:06Grainy as hell.
00:16:07Who took this?
00:16:08The Turkish police.
00:16:09Levi bribed one of them for it.
00:16:12So this is the Saudi.
00:16:14And the same thing happened to Levi, too.
00:16:19Yeah.
00:16:20I don't get it.
00:16:21Why are you going to investigate?
00:16:23I mean, what can you do that the Turkish police can't?
00:16:25I want to see the wound on Levi.
00:16:28Why?
00:16:30I just want to see it.
00:16:31You're hiding something.
00:16:32I'm not hiding anything.
00:16:33There are just certain things I'm not revealing.
00:16:36And we've got to rush to the airport.
00:16:41Just give me a minute and I'll get ready and then I'll help you clean up.
00:16:45Yeah.
00:16:47Have you been listening to me?
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:53Yeah.
00:16:58You can tell who the killer is by looking at a wound.
00:17:00A swordsman perfects a signature cut.
00:17:02You really get off on this stuff.
00:17:04There's an art to it, Janet.
00:17:06An art to killing?
00:17:07It's sick.
00:17:08I've listened to your uninformed, ignorant opinions for the last 15 hours.
00:17:14Uninformed, ignorant opinions?
00:17:16The trouble is that you know I'm right.
00:17:18Janet, shut up and let it rest.
00:17:20Why did you have to bring that?
00:17:22Why did I have to bring you?
00:17:24It's a sword, Drew.
00:17:25A goddamn weapon.
00:17:26No wonder they hustled you at customs.
00:17:28Yeah, well, you're hustling me right now and we're long gone from customs.
00:17:31No thanks to you.
00:17:32They could have arrested us.
00:17:34But they didn't.
00:17:35Still swiping.
00:17:36Something like that on an assignment.
00:17:38I have my reasons, which I might have told you if you had let me get a word in headways.
00:17:43But for now, just be patient.
00:17:45How can I be patient when you're trying to get us thrown into a Turkish jail?
00:17:48Don't be ridiculous.
00:17:50Just keep your mouth shut and maybe you'll learn something.
00:17:53What?
00:17:54From you, Mr. Genius?
00:18:01Drew Collins and Janet Ward.
00:18:04It's two separate rooms.
00:18:06I'm sorry, sir.
00:18:08We have only one and we are fully booked.
00:18:11No, there's got to be some mistake.
00:18:13I made the reservation myself for two.
00:18:15Nice try, Casanova.
00:18:17But I'm not staying in the same room with you.
00:18:19Look, think what you want, but I sure didn't plan this.
00:18:23Sure.
00:18:25I didn't request you, remember?
00:18:27You were given to me.
00:18:29Given to you?
00:18:30Why don't we get a little more sexist?
00:18:32Okay, fine.
00:18:34Go.
00:18:35I'm sure you'll find another hotel to your liking.
00:18:37No way.
00:18:38I don't know the city.
00:18:39You go.
00:18:40I'm the senior correspondent.
00:18:41The reservation's in my name.
00:18:42It's on my credit card.
00:18:43Now I'm here.
00:18:44Let's just make it work.
00:18:46The reservation's in my name.
00:18:47It's on my credit card.
00:18:48Now I'm here.
00:18:49Let's just make the best of this, okay?
00:18:51That's it.
00:18:52When all else fails, pull rank.
00:18:53Okay, fine.
00:18:54What are you going to do?
00:18:55Get a room in a local Turkish police station?
00:18:57Drop dead.
00:18:58With second prize.
00:19:02Gee, I don't know, Janet.
00:19:03I'm starting to feel right at home here.
00:19:05I guarantee you, you'll see very little.
00:19:10Okay.
00:19:13Oh, good, a suite.
00:19:14That makes it easier.
00:19:15What?
00:19:16I can have complete privacy.
00:19:17Sure, I won't come out without knocking.
00:19:19Well, you're out already.
00:19:21If it makes you happy, take the bedroom.
00:19:23I'll get my stuff out later.
00:19:27Don't bother.
00:19:31Are you going to stay in there and pout,
00:19:33or come with me to the police station?
00:19:36You are not a policeman.
00:19:37You are not even a Turk.
00:19:39Why should I show you this file?
00:19:41Just because you are an American?
00:19:43Because I think I can help you find his murderer.
00:19:50Anything you know about this file,
00:19:51you must reveal to me immediately.
00:19:53That's what I've been trying to tell you.
00:19:55I won't know if any of my suspicions are correct
00:19:57until I see a picture of the body.
00:20:01I need to see how he died.
00:20:03So tell me your suspicions,
00:20:04then I will decide if you can see.
00:20:07No deal.
00:20:10Mr. Collins, we are not making deals.
00:20:14You will tell me now, or I'll put you in jail.
00:20:16Both of you.
00:20:18You know something, Chief?
00:20:19You may not be big on cooperation,
00:20:21but you've got great light in this place.
00:20:23You must stop this.
00:20:24Great light.
00:20:25This is not...
00:20:26Don't be crazy. Don't be crazy.
00:20:27We're talking Time, Newsweek,
00:20:28maybe even the cover of People magazine.
00:20:30This is not romantic.
00:20:31Hey, wait a minute.
00:20:32Let me shoot you by the light.
00:20:33You know, you look really great like that.
00:20:35Really commanding.
00:20:36You must stop this.
00:20:37One more shot.
00:20:38Now stay there. Don't move.
00:20:39Don't move.
00:20:40Kim Tyrrell.
00:20:41This is not romantic.
00:20:42Do it.
00:20:43Hey, be careful.
00:20:44You'll break the camera if you do it like that.
00:20:46You're important shots for that role.
00:20:49David Hasselhoff is on that film.
00:20:52David Hasselhoff is involved?
00:20:55No.
00:20:56Listen, Captain Kerdiga, I'm sorry.
00:20:57You're right. We've been out of line.
00:21:00We only came here to try to help,
00:21:02and I apologize for my assistant's behavior.
00:21:09We won't be causing you any more trouble.
00:21:14That's good.
00:21:15Because next time you do,
00:21:17I throw both of you in jail,
00:21:19and you never get out.
00:21:21Is that clear?
00:21:23Absolutely.
00:21:24Captain, thank you for your time.
00:21:31Take my advice, Collins.
00:21:33Forget Istanbul.
00:21:35Leave Turkey.
00:21:36Go back home.
00:21:39Did you see the film Midnight Express?
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:43So you know what I mean.
00:21:47Yeah.
00:22:01Of all the dumb, stupid...
00:22:04Gutsy, quick-thinking...
00:22:05Ridiculous things to pull,
00:22:07and in a Turkish police station.
00:22:09Thanks.
00:22:11You're welcome.
00:22:17Hey, wait.
00:22:19Come here.
00:22:26Did you see the morgue shots?
00:22:27Uh-huh.
00:22:28Do you know who the killer is?
00:22:30I have a damn good idea,
00:22:31and I'll prove it tomorrow.
00:22:33Right now is making an early night, huh?
00:23:03Fine.
00:23:25Drew.
00:23:29Jesus, what do you do this stuff in your sleep?
00:23:34Are you okay?
00:23:40Bad dream?
00:23:45Sorry to wake you.
00:23:47Do you want to talk about it?
00:23:50No, but thanks.
00:23:54Do you want to stay with me tonight?
00:23:57No.
00:24:03Drew, you've got to relax.
00:24:07You need to open up.
00:24:09That's easier said than done.
00:24:11You're carrying a lot of baggage with you.
00:24:15This is really upsetting you, isn't it?
00:24:17I used to think I could handle anything.
00:24:19Yeah, and supermen and fools think that.
00:24:22And you're not a fool.
00:24:24And I'm not Superman.
00:24:26You're cute.
00:24:28Come here and kiss me before I give up on you.
00:24:57No.
00:24:59Come on.
00:25:27When I was a baby,
00:25:29I survived a plane crash
00:25:31that killed both of my real parents.
00:25:33We were traveling over a remote area of Japan,
00:25:36and something went wrong.
00:25:38The plane went down,
00:25:40and for some reason, I survived.
00:25:45That's when Master Wong told me
00:25:47that he was going to send me back to Japan.
00:25:50He said,
00:25:53That's when Master Senga, my stepfather,
00:25:56found me and pulled me out of the wreckage.
00:25:59He and his wife took me in
00:26:01and raised me with their son, Kinjiro.
00:26:04Kinjiro?
00:26:06Whatever happened to Kinjiro?
00:26:08That's a good question.
00:26:11Whatever happened to Kinjiro?
00:26:23Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come.
00:26:26The pot has reached the extraordinary sum of
00:26:30$120,000.
00:26:33Gentlemen, one of you will take it all.
00:26:37Betting is closed now.
00:26:39There can only be one victor.
00:26:41Let the match begin.
00:26:43There can only be one victor.
00:26:45Let the match begin.
00:27:13No!
00:27:44No!
00:28:02The winner and still the champion,
00:28:05Kinjiro Senga!
00:28:09A single greatest champion
00:28:11is a breather of death than ever known.
00:28:14Who will dare to challenge the deadly sword
00:28:17of the mighty Kinjiro?
00:28:23Once a samurai learns to utilize his sixth sense,
00:28:26his body and mind will become one.
00:28:30He will hear the bell before it struck.
00:28:33He will be the director of his enemy's fate
00:28:37All of this he will see through the eye of his mind.
00:28:42Hey, Collins!
00:28:44We could sell a lot of purses at this.
00:28:49Samurai, huh?
00:28:57Can I talk to you for a minute?
00:29:02Taru?
00:29:08Can we talk?
00:29:13What do you want to talk about?
00:29:15Your brother.
00:29:18What about him?
00:29:20You didn't tell me he was here.
00:29:22I didn't know for sure.
00:29:24Why do you think you used to kill him?
00:29:26It was to cut on Levi.
00:29:28Taru, anybody could have stabbed him.
00:29:30He wasn't stabbed, he was cut.
00:29:32A particular way.
00:29:34There are certain strikes only a master swordsman uses,
00:29:38and even those have a particular signature.
00:29:41That still doesn't prove it was your brother.
00:29:43What would a Japanese swordsman be doing in Turkey?
00:29:46He's Yakuza, remember?
00:29:48That's right.
00:29:49They're here for the opium trade.
00:29:51Do you think Levi was killed because he found out
00:29:53the Saudi prince was involved?
00:29:55No, I doubt the prince was involved in opium.
00:29:58There's got to be something else.
00:30:00Like what?
00:30:02Like what?
00:30:04I don't know.
00:30:06But I've got an idea where we can start looking.
00:30:24This is the number one night spot, especially for the Saudis.
00:30:28Somebody here probably knew the prince.
00:30:30We'll separate.
00:30:39Some of them think you're loyal.
00:30:42Well, who says I'm not?
00:31:01Yeah!
00:31:03Come on, baby, let's go to the hotel, you know?
00:31:14Wait a second.
00:31:16Take this.
00:31:17Back in the States, we got ourselves a holiday.
00:31:20We'd carve up...
00:31:22an enum!
00:31:24Hey, now, wait a second, guys.
00:31:27Just relax.
00:31:33Come on, boys, see what you can do.
00:31:35See what you can do this year.
00:31:58Oh!
00:32:01Aah!
00:32:24You really ought to watch your butt in Turkey.
00:32:28Much obliged, partner.
00:32:39You know, this man's a gangster.
00:32:41Of course. He works for me.
00:32:44You're a very impressive fighter, Drew Collins.
00:32:48How may I help you?
00:32:50I think you know another gangster, too.
00:32:52Kinjiro Sango.
00:32:54I'm looking for him.
00:32:57Would it have anything to do with your visit to the police?
00:33:00News travels fast in this part of the world.
00:33:02Among friends, yes.
00:33:10And is Sango among your friends?
00:33:12Perhaps.
00:33:14I want to talk to him.
00:33:16Chérie, il voudrait voir Kinjiro.
00:33:19Oui.
00:33:21Avec plaisir.
00:33:28Wait! Wait a minute!
00:33:30Wait a minute, please! Drew!
00:33:32What have you done to him?
00:33:34Drew!
00:33:36Where are you taking him?
00:33:38Somebody tell me!
00:33:40Tell me what's going on, please!
00:33:42Tell me what they're doing!
00:33:44God!
00:33:58I knew it was you.
00:34:01The sword?
00:34:03And the murders.
00:34:05Easier with so fine a blade.
00:34:07Especially when that blade is one's birthright.
00:34:10We were in the basement of an arena where men fight.
00:34:13And I saw you.
00:34:15I saw you.
00:34:17I saw you.
00:34:19I saw you.
00:34:21I saw you.
00:34:23I saw you.
00:34:25We were in the basement of an arena where men fight to the death.
00:34:30Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the game.
00:34:35Our competitors tonight have come from all over the world
00:34:39to provide you with the best in sporting entertainment.
00:34:45For the benefit of any newcomers,
00:34:47let me acquaint you with the rules of the game.
00:34:50There are none.
00:34:56Where is it?
00:34:58Where it belongs.
00:35:00With me.
00:35:02That sword doesn't belong to you.
00:35:05Not by birthright.
00:35:07Not by any right.
00:35:12I told you I'd come for it one day.
00:35:15Didn't I?
00:35:18Yes, you did.
00:35:20But why didn't you come yourself?
00:35:23Why the errand, boys?
00:35:25Your country does not welcome yakuza with open arms.
00:35:28I wonder why.
00:35:30No matter.
00:35:32And now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:34it's go time!
00:35:49Now, here we are in Istanbul.
00:35:51An unlikely place, wouldn't you say?
00:35:54Not really. I heard the yakuza were here.
00:35:57The opium.
00:35:59Originally.
00:36:01But one night a drug lord brought me to the games for entertainment.
00:36:05And I found an even greater vice.
00:36:08Live blade.
00:36:21Come on!
00:36:39To me, it is about achieving perfection.
00:36:42Miyamoto Musashi.
00:36:45The greatest swordsman who ever lived.
00:36:48He killed 67 men in single combat
00:36:50before he considered his technique perfected.
00:36:52Miyamoto lived in the 16th century, Kinjiro.
00:36:56And even he finally realized that perfection
00:36:59has more to do with not killing than killing.
00:37:03No one is forced to fight.
00:37:05They do it for the money.
00:37:18I'm surprised you sought me out so willingly.
00:37:28I want to bring you back to the path that we both started on.
00:37:33The path of our father.
00:37:38The path of our father?
00:37:41He was never your father!
00:37:43He isn't yours either.
00:37:45Not as you are now.
00:37:47You had no choice but to come to me. Do you realize that?
00:37:50It was your destiny!
00:37:53Your karma!
00:37:55You dropped out of the sky into the path of my life.
00:37:59It is our mutual destiny that only one of us continues on that path.
00:38:12You'll be taken to a room for all the combatants.
00:38:16This is all you'll need.
00:38:22It's an excellent sword.
00:38:26Kinjiro.
00:38:29Is this really necessary?
00:38:46Hey!
00:39:16Kill him!
00:39:46Kill him!
00:40:13What is going on here?
00:40:15Tell me what is going on here!
00:40:45Kill him!
00:41:16Kill him!
00:41:23Son of a bitch.
00:41:25Figured I'd see you here. Name's Harrison.
00:41:27Collins. Drew Collins.
00:41:33You know, it's gonna be weird having to fight you after you just saved my ass and all.
00:41:39Cool, cool, cool.
00:41:42No offense, Harrison. I don't think you know what you're getting into.
00:41:46Hell, I don't.
00:41:48Some of the persons in these things can go upwards to a million dollars to the wind.
00:41:51Now, where else a cowboy like me ever gonna lay his hands on cash like that legally?
00:41:56Semi-legally.
00:42:00People are getting killed in that arena.
00:42:03You've got time to pull out of this.
00:42:06You know, one way or the other, this is the end of the road for me.
00:42:10See, if I win, it's the heat of it.
00:42:12If I lose, it won't be my problem anyway.
00:42:25Damn, man, I didn't know they had gymnastics at this thing.
00:42:28What the hell is that guy doing anyway?
00:42:30Wushu.
00:42:32It's Chinese.
00:42:34I guess if he loses his weapon, he can just leap over the pit and run home, huh?
00:42:38He's not gonna lose his weapon tonight.
00:42:41He will lose his life.
00:42:43What makes you say that?
00:42:44Economy of motion.
00:42:46He wastes too much energy.
00:42:48A man who defeats him will not.
00:42:57I guess I should have done a little bit more homework.
00:43:05Gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?
00:43:09It is time to select opponents.
00:43:11Please, come forward and pick a number.
00:43:19Excuse me, Kojak.
00:43:26I'm not fighting anyone until I see the woman that was brought here with me.
00:43:31That can be arranged.
00:43:33But you must first pick a number.
00:43:36Then I see what I can do.
00:43:46I'll take the number, but I'm not gonna fight until I know that she's all right.
00:43:51As you wish.
00:43:53For your comfort and pleasure, our lovely attendants will take your bets
00:43:57and serve you with refreshments, compliments of the house.
00:44:00We're talking about compliments.
00:44:02For the highest roller in each round, and only for the highest roller in each round,
00:44:07a dozen beautiful ladies are waiting to fulfill your heavenly wish and desire.
00:44:13Remember, a samurai learns to utilize his sixth sense.
00:44:17He will hear the bell before it's struck.
00:44:20He will sense the blow before it falls.
00:44:23He will see through the eye of his mind.
00:44:28Hey, Bam Bam, where's your weapon?
00:44:31I beg your pardon?
00:44:33It's all right, you don't have to beg.
00:44:35Where's your blade, boy?
00:44:39What are you gonna do, fight with your dick?
00:44:45No, mate. If I was to use my dick, I'd have an unfair advantage.
00:44:57Attention, please.
00:45:01All right, we have our first match.
00:45:07Fang Su...
00:45:11and Xing Yi.
00:45:21Let's go.
00:45:24Yeah!
00:45:27And now, ladies and gentlemen, the first match of the night features
00:45:31two spectacular combatants from China,
00:45:35Mr. Fang Su...
00:45:39and Mr. Xing Yi.
00:45:51Aren't they amazing?
00:45:53Two fighters so perfectly adept with their deadly weapons.
00:45:57How will you decide who to put your money on?
00:46:00Up or down?
00:46:02However one you choose, the minimum bet is $10,000.
00:46:06No, ladies and gentlemen, life is not cheap in this arena.
00:46:13No worries, mate.
00:46:16Listen, I was just trying to ease a little tension.
00:46:23Let the combat begin!
00:46:53Hey!
00:47:24Hey!
00:47:38Hey!
00:47:53Hey!
00:48:24Hey!
00:48:32If you believe you can win, come and support me!
00:48:40Let me introduce you to my old winner, Fang Su!
00:48:46Hey!
00:48:53Hey!
00:49:02That gentleman sure can dance.
00:49:10Hey!
00:49:14Hey!
00:49:16Hey!
00:49:18Hey!
00:49:20Hey!
00:49:23Hey!
00:49:25Hey!
00:49:26Hey!
00:49:29Hyah!
00:49:50You were afraid, and so you fought poorly.
00:49:55Some...
00:49:57A samurai embraces death.
00:50:00When he encounters danger, he welcomes the fact that death may result.
00:50:05When one fights as if seeking to die, he fights completely, without fear.
00:50:11And it is usually his opponent who finds death instead.
00:50:24Hyah!
00:50:40Hey, check out that pirate. Blind on one side.
00:50:45I hope I draw him.
00:50:47You better hope you don't.
00:50:49What?
00:50:51That handicap could be his advantage.
00:50:54How's that?
00:50:55Well, it causes your opponent to make assumptions, like the one you just made.
00:51:02Remember, you've got five senses.
00:51:05When one is hindered, the others can be heightened.
00:51:09With the proper training.
00:51:12With the eye of the mind, you will hear the unhearable and see the unseeable.
00:51:18And you will have no fear in combat.
00:51:23For your entertainment tonight, we bring you Mr. Takah, the dreaded pirate from the coast of Asia Minor.
00:51:29And Mr. Ed Patterson, from the U.S. of A.
00:51:44Un-American pig!
00:51:48Un-American pig!
00:51:56Pig!
00:51:57You pig! You pig! You pig!
00:51:59You pig!
00:52:01Pig!
00:52:02Pig!
00:52:08Hey, partner. I think you've got something on him.
00:52:12No!
00:52:16Ladies and gentlemen, surprisingly, Mr. Patterson seems to be squeamish tonight.
00:52:21However, his opponent is unable to continue.
00:52:24So our spineless American friend advances to the next round.
00:52:28Perhaps to beat his fate at the hands of a real warrior.
00:52:42You know, I've been to Tahiti.
00:52:46It's overrated when you look at the alternative you're considering.
00:52:50Well, I don't know why you're here, old buddy.
00:52:53But for me, this is my last shot at the whole nine yards.
00:52:57For me, this is my last shot at the whole nine yards.
00:53:10Lars and Collins.
00:53:12I told you I'm not fighting anyone until I see her.
00:53:15It has been arranged.
00:53:16You will see her as you enter the arena.
00:53:19Sherry?
00:53:21Bashar Shalafi, please.
00:53:28Where are you taking me?
00:53:51It's gonna be okay.
00:53:54It's gonna be all right.
00:53:58What is going on here?
00:54:01Never mind that.
00:54:02All right?
00:54:03No.
00:54:04No, we have to get out of here.
00:54:06I think I can get you out after my next fight.
00:54:10Can you get out?
00:54:11All right, Collins.
00:54:13Enough.
00:54:14I'm bringing your opponent in now.
00:54:16I have to go.
00:54:17You want to do this?
00:54:18You knew we were headed for this the whole time.
00:54:20I have to do this.
00:54:21Why?
00:54:22You wouldn't understand.
00:54:24Try me.
00:54:27Geary.
00:54:28What?
00:54:29Geary.
00:54:30It's an obligation.
00:54:32A debt.
00:54:34Something that's right by virtue of it having to be done.
00:54:37You're right.
00:54:39I don't understand.
00:54:41Collins, now.
00:54:43Ladies and gentlemen,
00:54:45Mr. Lars Olsen of Sweden,
00:54:47who made us all look forward to this last moment.
00:54:50What sumptuous feast can we expect tonight?
00:54:57Oh, my God.
00:55:28You think you can beat me?
00:55:34Finally, ladies and gentlemen,
00:55:36Mr. Drew Collins,
00:55:38here by special invitation,
00:55:40has finally defenced his racist conduct.
00:55:47Nice hat.
00:55:49Let the combat begin.
00:55:57No.
00:56:27You got a headache?
00:56:41Very slow learner.
00:56:57Ah!
00:57:00Ah!
00:57:17I've seen this guy before.
00:57:28Ah!
00:57:34I want her released now, otherwise I don't fight again.
00:57:37I told you she will be released.
00:57:39When?
00:57:40I warn you, Collins,
00:57:42her life is in danger if you do not fight.
00:57:45And if I lose, she'll never get out of here alive anyway.
00:57:48So I might as well just let you kill us both
00:57:50without me making you any money.
00:57:53You tell Kinjiro I'll give my word of honor.
00:57:56If Janice's released, I'll fight to the end.
00:57:59I will ask him.
00:58:01But it was stupid of you not to kill the Swede.
00:58:04It is bad for my business.
00:58:07Good.
00:58:11Harrison, you're next.
00:58:13Well, who am I fighting?
00:58:15Kinjiro.
00:58:17Bring on that nippon, son of a bitch.
00:58:26The field is narrowing and the pot is flowing.
00:58:30We have Ed Harrison from the U.S. of A.
00:58:34That's her to get killed more than he did last time.
00:58:37And in the end, too, screaming.
00:58:41And on that note,
00:58:43Kinjiro Sanga for Japan.
00:58:47East beats west.
00:58:49Who will triumph?
00:59:10I will.
00:59:35Fight backwards.
00:59:41Time to make up for a little before you die.
00:59:48Come on.
00:59:57Come on.
01:00:06You gonna fight or what?
01:00:10Come on.
01:00:25Get it.
01:00:31Come and get it! Come and get it! Come and get it!
01:00:41Come on.
01:00:48The winner and still the champion,
01:00:51Kinjiro Sanga.
01:00:53Ladies and gentlemen,
01:00:55Kinjiro is leaving the pit with $643,000.
01:01:11Remember, my son, invincibility is in oneself.
01:01:15Vulnerability is in the opponent.
01:01:24You asked to see me?
01:01:26Why don't you just kill me and get this over with?
01:01:29Don't worry, Andrew-san.
01:01:32I would not deprive myself the opportunity
01:01:35of killing you in a fair fight.
01:01:37Forget it, Kinjiro.
01:01:39You are frightened.
01:01:41You have always been afraid of me.
01:01:44I have been afraid for you.
01:01:47I have been afraid that you would become
01:01:50what you have become.
01:01:53Stop me.
01:01:55I can't stop you.
01:01:57You are gonna have to stop yourself.
01:02:03I won't fight you.
01:02:10And I will test the sharpness of my blade
01:02:13on your traveling companion
01:02:15as our ancestors did on their prisoners.
01:02:19Not Yakuza.
01:02:21Samurai.
01:02:23Kinjiro, leave her out of this.
01:02:27It's between you and me.
01:02:31If you survive, so does she.
01:02:39Andrew.
01:02:45Drew.
01:02:54I'm sorry.
01:02:56Drew, you can't do this.
01:02:58It's insane.
01:03:00There's no stopping it now.
01:03:02It's gotta go on.
01:03:03Listen to me.
01:03:04I know you feel this, Gary.
01:03:06But no obligation is worth risking your life.
01:03:08I went through that already, Janet.
01:03:10Just tell me who you're obligated to.
01:03:22Myself.
01:03:24And my father.
01:03:26And the code that he raised me to believe in.
01:03:29It's ridiculous.
01:03:31You're gonna live by some code that means getting yourself killed.
01:03:34Living by it is my best chance of staying alive, Janet.
01:03:40Drew!
01:03:41Please!
01:03:43Let the fight begin!
01:03:45Hurrah!
01:04:05Ow!
01:04:13Don't push it, musclehead.
01:04:35Ow!
01:04:38Ow!
01:04:45Ow!
01:04:47Ow!
01:04:53Ow!
01:04:55Ow!
01:04:57Ow!
01:05:05Now are you really gonna attack me with that little stick?
01:05:17Hey, hey, hey!
01:05:20I think it's time we stopped, don't you?
01:05:35Ow!
01:05:41Oof!
01:05:44Ow!
01:05:46Ow!
01:05:47Ow!
01:05:48Ow!
01:05:49Ow!
01:05:50Ow!
01:05:51Ow!
01:05:53Ow!
01:05:59Oof!
01:06:01Ow!
01:06:04Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we're out of time, but perhaps some of you should have a drink today.
01:06:18True, never forget, you have acquired the Samurai's sixth sense.
01:06:23If ever you lose an ability to trust your sixth sense, it will serve you well when your life is in danger.
01:06:34Fang Zhu, you're fighting Kenjiro now.
01:07:04Now for the very special event.
01:07:22The next two warriors together have killed over 50 men in mortal combat.
01:07:27Never before have they lapped an opponent alive.
01:07:31Both of them have proved themselves time and time again.
01:07:36This is truly a battle of champions.
01:08:01Kenjiro, Kenjiro, Kenjiro!
01:08:31Kenjiro!
01:09:01Kenjiro!
01:09:31Kenjiro!
01:09:51Kenjiro!
01:10:14Kenjiro!
01:10:24Our Samurai will taste victory without drinking from the cup of vanity.
01:10:29He will see the arrow fly before it leaves the bow.
01:10:32He will be as swift as lightning and as strong as thunder.
01:10:47Well, the big moment has finally arrived.
01:10:51You rigged it, didn't you?
01:10:53Rigged what?
01:10:55The selection. You made it so Su fought him and I'm left.
01:11:01Kenjiro requested it. He wanted you for last.
01:11:06He also requests that you wear this for your fight with him.
01:11:25When are we fighting?
01:11:26Shortly.
01:11:28We need a few moments to clean up the pits.
01:11:31After what he did to Su.
01:12:28A samurai embraces death.
01:12:56When he encounters danger, he welcomes the fact that death may result and thus fights as if seeking it.
01:13:04What can I do, father?
01:13:07He leaves me no choice.
01:13:13I'm afraid, father.
01:13:15As any man, you must walk through the fire of destiny alone.
01:13:20Do not fear. Your destiny has brought you here.
01:13:24Do not dwell in the past. Do not dream of the future.
01:13:28Concentrate your mind on the present moment.
01:13:32It will be. Will be.
01:14:02Ladies and gentlemen, the arena of champions proudly presents Mr. Kenjiro Sanger and Mr. Drew Collins of the US of A.
01:14:16With the strength of this match, a higher than they've ever been before, they now stand at 610,000 pounds sterling for a million dollars US.
01:14:27This is no ordinary match.
01:14:30These two warriors brought up together as brothers in the mountains of Japan.
01:15:00I know I gave my word of honor that we'd fight to the end, but there's no need, Kenjiro.
01:15:19Keep the sword.
01:15:21But call this off.
01:15:24You've done enough killing here.
01:15:27Not until I kill you.
01:15:30It's not about the sword.
01:15:33It's about who's the best.
01:15:36It was proved to my father he was wrong by choosing you as the better swordsman.
01:15:41Because I wasn't one.
01:15:46And I still am.
01:15:48You're an excellent swordsman, Kenjiro.
01:15:53Haven't you proven that enough?
01:15:55Not to him.
01:15:59Not until I kill you.
01:16:01And prove to the world that you are unworthy of my family's honor and samurai tradition.
01:16:07Only then will that stupid old man realize he was wrong.
01:16:16And then I can kill him too.
01:16:30Remember your sixth sense.
01:16:32Remember your sixth sense.
01:16:34Remember your sixth sense.
01:16:41Follow the eye of your mind.
01:17:10Jiro.
01:17:29Jiro.
01:17:42Find him.
01:18:11Find him.
01:18:39Find him.
01:18:42Find him.
01:18:54Find him.
01:19:18Find him.
01:19:45Find him.
01:19:46Find him.
01:19:48Find him.
01:19:49Find him.
01:19:51Find him.
01:19:52Find him.
01:19:54Find him.
01:19:55Find him.
01:19:56Find him.
01:19:57Find him.
01:19:59Find him.
01:20:00Find him.
01:20:28You must kill me.
01:20:38You must kill me.
01:20:42It is the samurai way.
01:20:44No.
01:20:46Gaijin.
01:20:50You are still afraid.
01:20:55And I will do it myself.
01:21:12That is your choice.
01:21:37You must kill me.
01:22:03You must kill me.
01:22:25Why couldn't we have just been brothers?
01:22:31You have withstood the thunder of the past and the fire of the present.
01:22:36Leave with the wind of the future and let the eye of the mind guide your steps in whatever may come.
01:22:45You must kill me.
01:23:06You must kill me.
01:23:32You must kill me.
01:24:02You must kill me.
01:24:28You must kill me.
01:24:58You must kill me.
01:25:28You must kill me.
01:25:58You must kill me.
01:25:59You must kill me.
01:26:00You must kill me.
01:26:01You must kill me.
01:26:02You must kill me.
01:26:03You must kill me.
01:26:04You must kill me.
