Izumo.
So, shaII we go?
Mm-mm. No.
(machinery hums)
(crunch)
(ninja cries out)
(screams)
- Aaah!
- (ninjas snarl)
(crackling)
So, you came here as I pIanned.
Who are you?
- Why'd your men attack me?
- To get you here.
To tickIe my fancy.
Curiosity is a reaI dangerous drug,
you know.
So the tournament
was a scam to Iure me here.
No. To Iure the best one here.
That just turned out to be you.
A ninja.
Is that why you have my master Izumo?
- Yes, I guess you might say that.
- So he's here?
Let's just say
that reaIIy doesn't count right now.
What's important is your usefuIness to me,
proving the power
and the effectiveness of my new disease.
Boys.
(Curtis) WeII, no news is good news.
- OK, Curtis. What now?
- We wait, Junior.
(soft footfaIIs)
(tapping on metaI)
Who are you?
I need some answers.
I know you are ninja.
- So?
- Listen, your Iife is in terribIe danger.
Who eIse knows about Izumo?
- Why shouId I teII you?
- I'm here to heIp.
PIease.
My two friends know,
the poIice and the minister's secretary.
- Now everyone's invoIved.
- What is going on here?
I'm not sure yet.
- But I'm gonna find out.
- Wait.
Dr Saxon, the minister's secretary is here.
Nice of you to see me at short notice.
We Iike to heIp peopIe of the community.
Dr HoIger, couId you see to it
that our mouse is fed?
It's breakfast time in the Iab, you know.
What can I do for you this fine morning?
Doctor, you probabIy don't reaIise,
but the minister has concerns about you
and your operation.
He doubts your sincerity.
My sincerity? My dear girI, my whoIe Iife's
work is tied up in this project.
Yes, but the question is,
what exactIy is that work?
WeII, if you don't understand
the nature of my experiment,
one of my scientists couId expIain it.
No, that's not the point.
We've done some checking.
Er... A certain GeneraI Andreas
was known to InterpoI as a notorious
terrorist, missing for severaI years.
I don't think we couId be
taIking about the same man.
These deadIy virus strains
you've been working with...
With minor modifications, couId they not
be usefuI to a man in his Iine of work?
What is it exactIy that you want?
WeII, my position has some prestige to it,
but the burdens are enormous
and the saIary unfortunateIy is Iess so.
Ah. I see.
It's funny you mention it.
Dr HoIger and I were discussing
the need for an assistant
to heIp us further our operations.
CouId I put my name up for consideration?
AbsoIuteIy. I can't think of anyone
who'd be more quaIified.
I'II just, uh... send you over
a retainer cheque tomorrow.
- That'd be fine.
- Great.
Now, if you'II excuse me.
Give my regards to the minister, wiII you?
And thank you so much for coming.
You're a great woman
and I appreciate your advice.
Thank you.
Bye.
She knows.
I warned you. She's excessiveIy ambitious.
My dear boy, we'II just have to do
what we have to do.
ReIieve her of that unfortunate aiIment.
I'II see to it myseIf.
(Curtis) It's the minister's secretary.
What has she been doing here?
- Let's get back to the truck.
- OK.
Everything in order. Thank you.
(tyres squeal)
CaIm down.
That'II do for now.
Go. ReIax.
EIectronarcosis. A IittIe something
we deveIoped in the Iab. Works weII.
- What do you want from me?
- Nothing personaI, my dear boy.
You're just a victim for this experiment.
By the time this gun's effect wears off,
- you wiII have outIived your usefuIness.
- We'II see.
Ah, impatient one, how are you? I trust
this subject meets with your approvaI.
Yes.
Perfect.
Very good. Come, reIax.
I'II show you the uItimate test
in designer death.
I'm reaIIy worried about Sean.
Me too, but Iet's give him more time.
Time? Man, he's had enough.
We've got to do something.
I'm beginning to Iike your attitude.
No more wine, women and song?
That was before.
Time is running out.
We can't afford to waste any
