DESPITE THE SEASON OF HEAVY RAINFALL, JAPANESE FORCES
CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH THE SUN STATE OF BURMA WOO MANDALAY.
ALLIED FORCES REPORTED THE USE OF SPECIAL JAPANESE GHOST SOLDIERS.
WHO ARE SAID TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE IN THE HOSTILE JUNGLE TERRAIN FOR MONTHS
ON END USING STEALTH TACTICS AND CRUDE ANCIENT WEAPONS.
ONE THING IS CERTAIN. OUR ALLIES IN THE PACIFIC ARE PRESSING FOR YET ANOTHER BRUTAL ENCOUNTER
WITH THE JAPANESE INVADER WHO POSES AS AN EVEN GREATER THREAT
WITH THE USE OF THE MYSTERIOUS KILLING ART, KNOWN AS NINJA.
PARTICULARLY, IF YOU GET MARRIED.
ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO CALL THE POLICE?
YES I'M SURE. IT'S JUST MONEY.
THEY'RE STILL OUT THERE.
NO, A COUPLE OF PUNKS LOOKING FOR AN EASY SCORE. TRUST ME. THEY'RE LONG GONE.
WHAT?
ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE OKAY?
ALRIGHT. YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M A LITTLE UPSET.
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT THE FACT THAT
I DIDN'T GET YOU THIS SOONER.
WHAT IS IT?

A SYMBOL FOR HAPPINESS. MHM CASEY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

(PRAYING IN JAPANESE)
THIS WAS ALWAYS A SPECIAL PLACE TO HER.
THIS IS WHERE SHE TOOK ME AFTER SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS PREGNANT.
I DIDN'T KNOW. I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSE.
HOW DID YOU HEAR?
THAILAND IS NOT EXACTLY THE NORTH POLE.
SHE WAS LIKE A LITTLE SISTER TO ME.
WHAT ARE THE POLICE SAYING?
ROBBERY.
THEY SAY IT'S A TREND AROUND HERE.
I HAVE MY DOUBTS.
DOUBTS?
IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
WHY DON'T YOU COME TO MY DOJO IN THAILAND? GET AWAY FROM THIS DARKENED PLACE FOR A WHILE.
TRAIN. BEGIN TO EMPTY YOURSELF OF GRIEF.
THANK YOU SENPAI. BUT I HAVE SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
WHAT SORT OF BUSINESS, CASEY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING. PAYING YOUR RESPECTS.
COME IN!
I HAVE A LONG MEMORY.
(SPEAKS TAIWANESE)
YES SIR.
GOOD.
OKAY.
WELCOME, CASEY SUN.
I AM PLEASED YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND.
IT WAS A GOOD TIME FOR ME TO COME.
SHIKEISYU.
WAKE FROM DEATH, RETURN TO LIFE.
I HOPE SO SENPAI.
CASEY SUN, PLEASE MEET HIROSHI AND LUCAS, MY SENIOR STUDENTS.
YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME DO YOU?
NO.
I VISITED TAI GI DOJO ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO. I CAME WITH ICHIRO FROM CORONA.
YOU WERE ALREADY THE MAN BACK THEN.
I STILL TELL PEOPLE THE WAY YOU SPARRED WITH THE BOW. FANTASTIC.
HE WAS AGAINST UHM. WHAT WAS HIS NAME? UHM MASASUKA. THAT'S IT.
ANYWAY, SENSEI SAID YOU MIGHT COME HERE. AND I'M GLAD YOU DID.
SO WHY DO YOU STAY HERE IN THIS COUNTRY?
I STAY TO HONOR MY FATHER'S WISH.
WHY THAILAND?
AFTER THE WAR, WHEN MY FATHER RETURNED TO OSAKA.
DID NOT LIKE WHAT HE SAW. HE SAID JAPAN HAD LOST HER WAY.
MY FATHER...WAS NOT WHAT YOU CALL A FLEXIBLE MAN.
HE WAS PART OF FUJIDASEKO SPECIAL FIGHTING FORCE.
FUJIDASEKO.
1940, WE STILL HAD TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED SOLDIERS IN THE BURMESE JUNGLE.
A UNIT TRAINED LIKE NO OTHER. A UNIT OF...NINJA.
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED SOLDIERS INTO THE JUNGLE. ONLY FOURTEEN CAME OUT.
MY FATHER WAS ONE OF THEM.
I BELIEVE HE WOULD OF TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO BURMA IF HE HAD BEEN ALLOWED TO.
BUT HE SETTLED HERE, INSTEAD.
FOUNDED THIS MARTIAL ART SCHOOL AND COLLECTED OLD ANCIENT ARTIFACTS.
EXCUSE ME.
(SPEAKS IN TAIWANESE)
WHAT IS OUR CODE?
TO HAVE NO CODE.
WHAT IS OUR WAY?
EVERY WAY.
WHAT IS OUR GOAL?
TO THRIVE IN THE SHADOWS AS OUR ENEMIES PERISH IN THE SUN LIGHT.
SORRY.
CASEY!
I SUPPOSE YOU THINK YOU HAVE AN EXCUSE FOR SUCH BEHAVIOR.
I'M SORRY SEN-
NO APOLOGIES.
DO YOU REMEMBER "THE FIRE WALK PRACTICE."
HAY.
YOU HAVE LOST CONTROL.
IT IS TIME FOR THE FIRE WALK PRACTICE.
REMEMBER. YOU HAVE TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS. AND NOT LET YOUR EMOTIONS CONTROL YOU.
HAI.
HEY! YOU NEED A BIB! (LAUGHING)
YOU NEED SOME MANNERS.
WHAT?
WHAT?!
GET UP!
HIT ME!
COME ON! HIT ME!
AGAIN!
YEAH! AGAIN!
MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
GIVE ME THE BASKET.
NO, IT'S MY TURN. I GOT IT.
JUST GIVE IT TO ME. I'LL PICK THE FRUIT.
WHY YA HELPING ME?
IT'S OK.
SENSEI...
WHAT HAPPENED?
WE FOUND HIM DEAD IN THE HOGGET.
SENPEI, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
THE WOUND ON LUCAS' NECK, IT'S THE EXACT SAME WOUND AS NAMIKO'S.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE WOODS. NOT LUCAS.
I SEE.
THERE WERE THREE FRIENDS.
YOUR FATHER IN LAW, TAKIDA. MY FATHER. AND A ROUGH BOY FROM NAGOYA NAMED ISAMEL.
THEY WERE THE BEST STUDENTS OF THE KOKA DOJO. WHEN THEIR SENSEI DIED.
ISAMEL CHALLENGED TAKIDA FOR CONTROL OF THE DOJO. THERE WAS A BAD FIGHT. TAKIDA KILLED ISAMEL.
KILLED?
NOW TAKIDA WAS FREE TO CONTINUE THE TRADITION.
HOWEVER HE DID NOT PLAN ON ONE THING.
ISAMEL HAD A YOUNGER BROTHER. A BOY NAMED GOLO.
A BOY WHO WITNESSED THE DEATH OF HIS OLDER BROTHER.
MY FATHER SAID HE'S NEVER FORGET THE BOYS WORDS.
AFTER A FEW YEARS, A RUMOR STARTED.
GORO HAD GROWN UP TO BECOME A CRIMINAL.
STARTED ONE OF THE MAJOR DRUG CARTELS IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE IN BURMA.
WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME ALL THIS?
BECAUSE. IT'S KNOWN GORO TAUGHT HIS MEN HOW TO KILL WITH BARBED WIRE INSTEAD OF CHAIN.
BECAME SIGNATURE.
THE WOUND YOU JUST SAW.
SO YOU'RE SAYING.
I'M SAYING IT'S MORE THAN LIKELY, YES.
SO WHAT? HE'S STILL SEEKING REVENGE?
YOU'RE TAKIDA'S SON IN LAW. THIS MAKES YOU A TARGET.
YOU NEED TO RETURN TO THE STATES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
YOU'RE TELLING ME TO RUN.
I'M TELLING YOU TO LIVE.
THIS ISN'T LIVING.
I'M GOING AFTER HIM.
I NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE IS.
YOU'RE GOING TO BURMA? IT'S SUICIDE.
IT'S JUSTICE.
IT SEEMS LIKE REVENGE.
YOU CAN CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL.
YOU CANNOT GO.
I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE SENPEI.
ALL ANYONE KNOWS IS HE'S SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE JUNGLES OUTSIDE ANGOON.
A WELL GUARDED SECRET.
I'LL FIND HIM.
IF I CANNOT TALK YOU OUT OF LEAVING.
THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS WITH YOU.
WHAT IS IT?
BELONGED TO MY FATHER. HIS LIFE TIME IN THE JUNGLE. THIS REGION IS WHERE HE HID.
WHAT ARE THESE?
SMALL PLOTS, NEAR SOME OLD RUINS WHERE MY FATHER'S UNIT BURIED THEIR DEAD.
IT'S SAID TO BE IN THE SAME REGION AS GORO'S COMPOUND IS.
MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT IN EACH PLOT, THERE IS A CORNER UNDER WHICH WEAPONS WERE BURIED.
IT IS MARKED WITH THE OLD KUJI HAND SIGNS, EXACTLY LIKE THESE.
(THANKS HIM IN JAPANESE)
CASEY...REMEMBER. THE MAN WHO SEEKS REVENGE SHOULD DIG TWO GRAVES.
I'M GONNA NEED A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
