Ninja: Shadow of a Tear (2013)

[crowing]
(Announcer)
Milestones of the Century.
Despite the season
of heavy rainfall,
Japanese forces
continue to push through
the Shan state of Burma
toward Mandalay.
Allied forces
have 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,
her allies in the Pacific
are pressing for yet
another brutal encounter
with the Japanese invader
who poses an even
greater threat with the use
of the mysterious killing art
known as "ninja. "
[groans]
[muttering]
[chanting]
Hai.
Hai.
Hai.
Particularly,
if you get married.
[grunting]
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. Couple of punks looking
for an easy score. Trust me.
They're long gone.
What?
Are you sure
you're okay?
All right.
You're right.
I'm a little upset.
About what?
About the fact that...
I didn't get you this sooner.
What is it?
Open it.
The symbol for happiness.
Mmm. Casey.
It's beautiful.
Here.
For you.
And our baby.
You didn't finish
your gyoza.
[sighs]
Lost my appetite.
Not me.
I love you.
Me too.
(Nam/kc)
Casey.
Casey, are you awake ?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Go back to sleep.
No, tell me.
Namiko.
I want Black Thunder Chocolate.
Again?
Sorry.
I'll get it.
Never mind.
It's okay.
You don't have to.
No, it's fine.
I'll just run down to super,
okay?
I'll be right back.
You really don't have to.
Stop it.
I want to, okay?
Casey?
In that case,
can you also get some...
Tao Kae Noi?
Chocolate and seaweed?

(Casey) 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 loss.
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.
[helicopter whirring]
[speaking foreign language]
[door knocking]
Come in.
[grunts]
I have a long memory.
[grunting]

[whirring]

[screaming]
[grunting]
[speaking foreign language]
Yes sir.
Good.
Okay.
[grunting]
Welcome...
Casey-sen.
I am pleased
you changed your mind.
It was a good time
for me to come.
[speaks Japanese]
Awake from death.
Return to life.
I hope so, senpai.
Casey-sen ...
please meet
Hiroshi and Lucas,
my senior students.
You don't remember me, do you?
No.
I visited Tagadao's dojo
about 10 years ago.
I came with Hiroshi
from Toronto.
You were already
the man back then.
I still tell people the way
you sparred with the bow,
fantastic.
It was against,
what was his name?
Masasuka.
That's it.
Anyway, sensei said
you might come here,
and I'm glad you did.
(Casey) 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, he 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 Fujita Seiko's
special fighting force.
Fujita Seiko?
1940, Fujita led 2,500 soldiers
into the Burmese jungle.
A unit trained
like no other.
A unit of ninja.
2,500 soldiers
into the jungle,
only 14 came out.
My father was one of them.
I believe he would've traveled all the
way to Burma if he had been allowed to.
But he settled here instead.
Founded this
martial arts school.
Collected all
the Asian artifacts.
Excuse me.
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
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 sunlight.
Ready?
[speaking foreign language]
[grunting]
Sorry.
[speaking foreign language]
(sensei)
Casey!
Casey!
I suppose you think you have
an excuse for such behavior.
I'm sorry, sen, but--
No apologies.
Do you remember
the [speaks Japanese]?
Hai.
You have lost control.
It is time
for [speaks Japanese].
Remember, you have
to control your emotions.
Do not let
your emotions control you.
Hai.
[speaking foreign language]
Hey.
You need a bib.
You need some manners.
What?
What?
[grunting]
[speaking foreign language]
[bone crushing]
[screaming]
Get up.
Hit me.
Come on, hit me.
Again.
Yeah. Again!
[panting]
My 90d.
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 are you helping me?
It's okay.
[panting]
[grunting]
[yelling]
SenseL
What happened?
We found him dead in the--
[speaking foreign language]
Senpai, 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, Takeda,
my father,
and a rough boy from
Nagoya named lsamu.
They were the best students
at the Koga dojo.
When their sensei died, lsamu challenged
Takeda for control of the dojo.
There was a bad fight.
Takeda killed lsamu.
Killed him?
Now Takeda was free
to continue the tradition.
However, he did not
plan on one thing.
Isamu had a younger brother,
a boy named Goro.
A boy who witnessed the death
of his older brother.
My father said he'd never
forget the boy's 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?
'Cause it's known Goro taught
his men how to kill using
the maneki kusari with barbed
wire instead of chain.
It became
his 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 Takeda'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, senpai.
All anyone knows is he's
somewhere inside the jungles
outside Yangon.
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 lifetime
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 kujini hand signs.
Exactly like these.
[speaks Japanese]
Casey.
Remember...
the man who seeks revenge
should dig two graves.
They're gonna need
a lot more than that.
Nineteen, 20.

Please come.
Yeah, please.

Goro?
No.
No Goro, my friend.
Maybe you make mistake.
Believe me, asshole...
you make big mistake.
[grunting]
Where is he?
Where's Goro?
Go to hell,
[speaking foreign language].
You're gonna tell me or I'm gonna
cut your goddamn head off.
I don't know
who you talk about.
Everyone
know who he is,
but no one meet him.

A tourist
with interest
in Myanmar.
What do you want
with Goro?
Why you asking
about Goro?
WhY are you?
[dish clanging]
You have heard
of Iron Road?
You can save yourself
great pain.
Just tell me
why you're here.
And what do you want
with Goro?
I want to speak to the American
or Japanese consulate.
I'm sure you do.
[sizzling]
[grunting]
Maybe you talk to me?
I'm here...
as a tourist.
You're a SPY!
You know i2'.

No one.
[sizzling]
[grunting]
[punching]
[grunting]
[speaking foreign language]
Where is he?
Where's Goro?
I don't know.
Bullshit.
You work for him.
That's why you were
asking me about him.
Where is he?
The tago.
You're gonna have to get a
little bit more specific.
[coughing]
Where?
[speaking foreign language]
Bye, sir.
Boss!
Boss!
Keep driving.
What happened?
I said, keep moving.
It was you.
What?
You're the only one alive who
knew I was asking about Goro.
Boss, I swear I--
No, don't, all right?
Just...
just don't.
You work for them.
No. No.
I work for me.
I only try to make living.
I don't want trouble.
I got trouble from you,
trouble from police.
I do what I have to do.
All right.
Just keep driving.
Be careful, boss.
The jungle
is Goro's territory.
His men are everywhere.
Good luck, boss.
Please be careful.
Take me upriver.

Goro.
[guns cocking]

[grunting]
Casey...
I'm pregnant.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
[foreign language mantra]
And [indistinct] load?
It will be done
by next week.
Mm hmm.
Always some delay.
Sales are up
15 percent.
There is no one
to rival you.
Your enemies
are disappearing.
Yet you are unsatisfied.
Forgive me,
but you are
addicted to worry.
No.
What is it then?
Nothing.
I was just thinking.
Yes?
At the end of the game,
the pawn and the king
go into the same books.
I don't understand.
[grunts]
[speaking Japanese]
[grunting]
[cheering]
What was that?
[grunting]
Goro.
Who are you?
Namiko married a kaiju.
You know Namiko's dead,
you son of a bitch.
[grunting]
[grunting]
[yelling]
Casey-sen.
I'm very happy
you are alive.
Thank you, senpai.
Tea?
Please.
So, tell me,
what happened?
Excuse me.
What is our goal?
To thrive in the shadows
as our enemies die
in the sunlight.
It was you.
What?
You set
this whole thing up.
You sent those thugs
to attack me.
And you were in Osaka the
minute after Namiko was killed.
Lucas, too.
How could you?
It was not personal.
Not personal?
You needed
proper motivation.
You turned me
into an assassin.
I had to.
Goro was becoming a big
problem for my operation.
I couldn't take a
chance to get exposed.
You were the only one who was
skilled enough to find Goro.
Kill him.
--Been special.
She was pregnant.
I didn't know.
Casey-sen,
there are only
two choices now.
Either we join forces
or one of us must die.
There's only one choice.
I see.
