Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)

[bunniefuu]

I'm guessing it's the relay
or the spark plugs.

I got tools
back at the cabin.

Shouldn't be a big job.

Can I help?

- [BRANCHES cr*ck]
- [BIRD WINGS FLUTTERING]

Dad?

Yeah. Yeah, sure you can help.

Is there a safe?
At the cabin.

Why?

- You got valuables you trying to hide?
- [CHUCKLES] No.

Worried I'm gonna steal
your baseball cards?

No.

I heard you on the phone
the other night.

You said you were
at a safe house.

It's just another word
for cabin.

So there's no safe?

There's a fireplace, though.

Maybe we can roast
some marshmallows.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Hey. We need to leave.

Right now. Come on.

Dad?

[DOG BARKING]

Dad, what's happening?

Do not move,
no matter what happens.

[PANTING]

[g*n CLICKS]

You were almost hard to find.

Let's have it.

All of it.

[OBJECTS DROP]

Let's go in.

[PANTING]

Here is how I make decisions.

Win, you live.

Lose,

you die.

Now that's too bad.

Snake eyes.

What can I say?
House always wins.

No!

Run!

Kid's gone.

[COCKS g*n]

[g*nsh*t]

[SHOUTING]

[CROWD CHEERING]

[SHOUTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[CHEERING]

[SHOUTING]

[GRUNTS]

- [SHOUTS]
- Oh!

[GROWLING]

[CROWD CHEERING]

- [BELL CLANGING]
- [ANNOUNCER] And the winner...

Snake Eyes!

[CHEERING CONTINUES]

They call you "Snake Eyes"
and yet you always win.

Of course,
your technique is a bit crude,

but that has its advantages.

I've been watching you
for a while now.

That ain't creepy at all.

When you grow up on the streets,
it's them or you, right?

My name is Kenta Takamura,
and I could use a man like you.

Ain't nothing personal,
but I don't work for guys like you.

Or anyone,
for that matter.

I know.
You are a drifter.

You fight until no one will bet
against you anymore and then move on.

Works for me.

They said you watched your old man
get k*lled when you were just a boy.

True?

I like to know
who I'm hiring.

I told you, I ain't interested.
You got the wrong guy.

- You haven't heard my offer yet.
- I don't care.

"Homicide victim recovered from
cabin fire is still unidentified."

My men found it
going through your motel room.

Sounds like the police
could never ID the body.

Nor did they
ever find the k*ller.

That, Mr. Snake Eyes,
is my offer.

I'm pretty good
at finding people.

Especially people
who k*ll other people.

Come work for me,

and I promise you,
I'll find the man who did this.

I'll find a spot for you
in my crew.

You can start
at the docks.

[SNAKE EYES] Hey.

[CHUCKLES]

Uh-oh.

Here comes Fish Boy.

Cover up! Cover up! Cover up!

Let me know
when you get a new joke.

Oi! [SHOUTS IN JAPANESE]

- Hey. Easy, easy. They're just kids.
- [KIDS SHOUTING]

Throw it over. Yeah.

I'm guessing you were always
picked last on the playground, huh?

Hey! No, no, no! Huh?

Take it easy.

He meant no disrespect.
Right?

Yeah. Sure.

I don't know what your deal
is, but you have guts.

Boss.

[MAN] Hey!

Fish Boy.

[GRUNTS] What's going on?

Boss wants to talk to you.

Am I in trouble?

Someone is.

Leave the Kn*fe. Mmm?

We operate on one currency.

Not money. Not fear.
Just one simple thing.

Trust.

See, 'cause without trust,
there can be no loyalty.

And without loyalty...

there is no yakuza.

[SHOUTS]

[SHOUTING]

[PANTING]

[SPEAKS JAPANESE]

Tommy-san.

You look surprised
to see me.

Kenta.

I wouldn't have pictured you

in a place like this
with friends like these.

My cousin here is one of
Japan's most powerful sons.

And you are one
of its most disgraced.

This man betrayed our trust.

He's an undercover spy, acting out
of loyalty to his precious clan.

Let's show him what loyalty
really looks like.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

This is a mistake.

Everything we want in life
comes at a price.

Now do it.

[SHOUTS]

That's disappointing.

Kenta!

[SHOUTING, GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

Hey.

Mind?

[ENGINE STARTS]

Come on.
Let's get out of here!

Let's go!

[SHOUTS]

[SHOUTING, GRUNTING]

[SHOUTING]

[GRUNTS]

Now can we go?

This way!

[MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE]

- No, no, no.
- Kenta!

[GRUNTS]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SHOUTING IN JAPANESE]

[SHOUTING]

[GROANS]

[MEN SHOUTING]

Tommy, get in the truck!

Anytime you're ready.

[ENGINE CRANKING]

- Come on!
- All right, I'm trying!

[ENGINE STARTS]

[SCREAMS]

[SCREAMS]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[SHOUTING]

[POLICEMAN]
LAPD. Drop your weapons.

Don't move.

You all right?

Yeah.

Just peachy.

[GROANS]

[GASPS]

[GROANS]

Good.

- You're alive.
- Tommy.

You're safe.

We are going home.

I don't have a home.

Not yours.

Mine.

I owe you a blood debt.

You saved my life. Why?

I'm not a m*rder*r.

I looked into your eyes,
and I saw honor.

So why run g*ns
for the yakuza?

That was a mistake.

Well, you got that right.

If Kenta
ever sees you again,

you are a dead man.

He called you cousins.

We grew up together.

We were both next in line
to become leader of our clan.

But there can only be one.

So Kenta tried
to have me k*lled.

When his treachery
was discovered...

I was given the responsibility
to decide his fate.

I ordered him banished.

And since then,

he has been trying to seize
power the only way he knows how.

Through greed and v*olence.

I didn't know till today it was
Kenta smuggling these g*ns to Japan.

I was ambushed.

You're his enemy now too.

Which means
your "Fish Boy" life in LA...

is over.

There's no going back.

Hey, where are we heading?

Really?

What is it exactly you do?

A little of this,
little of that.

- That your wife?
- No.

- Your girlfriend.
- Uh-uh.

Sister?

Akiko is our chief of security.

We value her advice,
but we don't have to take it.

The leader of our clan
rarely meets outsiders.

Don't forget to bow.

[DOOR OPENS]

Snake Eyes,

I present the leader
of the clan Arashikage, Sen.

My grandmother.

The man who saved
my grandson's life.

We Arashikage
are in your debt,

which means Japan
is in your debt.

Don't worry about it.

I'll settle for a hot bath
and a plane ticket out of here.

I have a better idea.

Stay.

I want you to join us.

Join the Arashikage.

Sen-sama.
If I may.

Even allowing him
this much access is reckless.

- I vouch for him.
- With respect, Tommy-san,

you do not lead
this clan.

Not yet.

Someday I will.

And I will need a warrior
like this by my side.

Someone I can trust
with my life.

For 600 years,

our ninja have brought
peace and stability to Japan.

The secret blade and iron wall of
every government since the age of Edo.

But things have changed.

New threats
call for new strategies.

Even welcoming outsiders...

as you, of all of us,
should know, Akiko.

Any questions we have about
our new friend,

the Three Challenges of the
Warrior will answer them.

And will he submit
to the challenges?

He will.

I'm sorry, the Three
Challenges of the what now?

The Three Challenges are designed
to reveal an applicant's character.

The first two will cleanse you of
ego, anger and fear

and ready you for the third.

That's the true test.

It will be up to you
whether you wish to take it.

What if I fail?

You die.

[CHUCKLES]

You're being serious.

I wouldn't put you in that position
if I thought it was likely.

I can't give you
a name or a past...

but I can offer you a purpose.

And something more important.

A home.

And why would you do that?

Because I saw honor
in your eyes, too.

Come.

Get some rest.
You have time to decide.

In the meantime,
consider my home your home.

So your toys,
my toys, huh?

[CHUCKLES]

How American.

[MAN SHOUTS]

[MAN SHOUTS]

[TOMMY] You'll need
to get farther faster.

We don't have much time.

The Arashikage are more
than just brute force.

We are spies, scouts,
guardians, infiltrators.

You will be tested, you will be hurt,
you will suffer, and you will fail.

But the hardest part will be
listening to you complain about it.

[GROANS]

[AKIKO]
I still think this is a mistake.

Zero hits on his fingerprints.

Nothing on any of our
facial recognition platforms.

This stray dog of yours
is a ghost.

I'm not scared of ghosts.

I'm serious, Tommy.

He was working for the
yakuza, for God's sake.

- He's not one of them.
- That doesn't make him one of us.

"Us"?

My name...

My name is
Tomisaburo Arashikage.

You think
I would endanger this clan?

I am this clan.

Tommy-san, I wasn't
questioning your loyalty.

Just my judgment.

He saved my life, Akiko.

I owe him this chance.

I understand it.

I'm just worried
you're moving too fast.

"Too quick to anger,
too quick to react."

Now you sound like Grandmother.

If I'm wrong about him,
we'll find out tomorrow.

80% of candidates
fail the first challenge.

Just saying.

Well, that means
20% pass, Akiko.

Just saying.

[SEN] For 600 years,

our fighters have been trained

by the greatest warriors
the world has ever known.

Hard Master.

And most honorable

Blind Master.

From them,
you will learn how to fight,

how to k*ll when necessary,

but most importantly,

how to live according to
the Arashikage Mindset.

Abandon ego.

Strike with honor.

Selflessness and truthfulness
will lead to harmony.

Any questions?

- What happens...
- Silence!

You are nothing.

This challenge
is a waste of time.

You will fail.

Okay, Hard-on Master,
or whatever your name is.

Let's go.

Challenge one.

Take this bowl from me.
I'll take that bowl from you.

Okay, I'll bite.

What's the punch line?

You must take my bowl
without spilling any water.

Fail four times and your training
is over before it begins.

- [GRUNTS]
- That's one.

[CHUCKLES]

Two.

[GRUNTS]

That's three.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[PANTING]

[TOMMY] Abandon ego.

Selflessness
and truthfulness...

will lead to harmony.

Hard Master.

I humbly request that you accept
my bowl in exchange for yours.

No congratulations?

One down, two to go.

Congratulations.

If I ever need a bowl of water,
I know who to ask.

You hide it well,

but I can tell you're
a little impressed with me.

What I think of you
is irrelevant.

You'll survive the
third test or you won't.

Then it won't matter at all.

To Tommy, our future toryo.

May you be strong,
wise and honorable.

[HARD MASTER] To Snake Eyes.

May you die well.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Kanpai.

[ALL] Kanpai!

That word he used,
"toryo."

It means
"head of family."

I am the last of
the Arashikage bloodline.

Ever since I was a child,
I've been groomed to lead.

This is my destiny.

But if I'm to lead the clan
into the next hundred years,

I have to adapt.

We have to adapt.

I need warriors like you,

who have lived in
and know the new world

but can master
the Arashikage Mindset,

to become
the future of the clan

and fight side by side
as brothers.

Anyway, eat.

Why is Hard Master
staring at me like that?

He isn't.

He is very nearsighted.

The Blind Master,
on the other hand...

he is watching you.

They say he knows a liar
when he hears one.

[MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Tommy said I could
borrow one of his bikes.

His motorbikes?

- Bike... [JAPANESE]
- Yes.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

That one.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Keep an eye on the bike.

[PATRONS CHATTERING]

I didn't know
if you would show up.

Why?

Just because you left me to
bleed out on a dock in LA?

All you had to do was
get Tommy on that boat.

Think you could've mentioned
that he'd wade through 50 yakuza

just for the chance
to kick your ass?

Hey, it worked.

You earned his trust.

You got in.

By the way, how did he like,

"I looked into your eyes
and saw honor"?

- He ate it up.
- I knew he would.

He told me
about your history.

How you tried to k*ll him
and he cast you out of the clan.

Our family drama
is not your concern.

Yeah, you're right about that,
'cause I'm out.

We had an agreement.

And I seem to be the only guy

who's keeping up his end of it.

And here I had
a gift for you.

You found him.

- Where?
- Easy now.

I kept my word.
Now you have to keep yours.

They want me
to take three tests.

I fail the third, I die.

So whatever you need me to
do, it better be quick.

It's up to you.

There is a priceless artifact
hidden in the castle grounds.

The Jewel of the Sun.

It's a symbol
of Arashikage's power.

Find the jewel
and bring it to me...

and I'll give you
your father's k*ller.

[ENGINE STOPS]

[KICKSTAND FLIPS]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[WOMAN SPEAKING JAPANESE
THROUGH EARPODS]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

"You're welcome."

This place is built like a fortress.
What are you protecting?

When I was young,

I was told stories
of the Sun Goddess.

Once, long ago, she wanted to
test the character of her people,

so she sent down a gift
in the form of a jewel.

A jewel that contained
the power of the sun.

We swore an oath to protect
it, but more important,

to never use it ourselves.

As I grew, I realized why.

We have the power to destroy
anyone who wrongs us,

but that is
a dangerous temptation.

True power
calls for discipline.

This is Morning Light.

My gift to you for passing
the first challenge.

It's easy
to sh**t with a g*n,

but the sword
is a w*apon of honor.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

You know what I mean.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

It suits you.

Hey, there was nothing in that
brochure about a nuclear jewel.

Only a few have access.

My grandmother,
the masters...

and me.

Seems like a lot of protocol
for a fairy tale.

Not protocol.
There's a DNA lock.

Like I said,
blood matters to my family.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[GRUNTING]

What are you doing here?

[CHUCKLES] You.

I was going for a walk.

Mm. With a sword?

I thought it was time to
get serious about my training.

That's Morning Light,
a w*apon of honor.

What makes you think
you deserve it?

What makes you think
you can use it?

How hard could it be?

Let's find out.

- How'd you get that scar?
- How did you get your name?

I'll tell you when
you get to know me better.

If you live that long.

- How about a wager?
- I'm all ears.

Land one blow on me
and I won't cut them both off.

And if I lose?

- You tell me why you're here.
- I thought I did. We're training.

Here with the Arashikage.

- You're on.
- Hit me.

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS] With your sword.

Come at me like you mean it.

It's not your skill that's
lacking, it's your heart.

If your heart is pure,
our secrets will reveal themselves to you.

If not...

they'll be your end.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

You gonna get that?

[RINGING]

A win without honor
is no win at all.

Are you sure it's Kenta?

He found a new way
to bring his g*ns to Japan.

He's taking delivery
of a shipment tonight.

If I move fast,
I can get the jump on him.

- You have a location?
- Shinjuku.

- I'll send a team.
- No.

I'll handle this myself.

You have that look
you get sometimes.

The shadow before a storm.

That storm will pass
when I k*ll Kenta.

Tommy.

I'll come with you.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[THUNDERCLAP]

[AKIKO] I'll block the
alley from the street.

Tommy,
you handle the rest of them.

And you, secure the weapons.

What about Kenta?

He's mine.

They're here.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Boys.

[SWORDS CLANGING]

[SHOUTING]

Cobra.

This is a lot of firepower.

What does Kenta want
with it all?

To start a w*r.
With us.

Which means we're gonna need support.
Let's call Scarlett.

[PA ANNOUNCER, INDISTINCT]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

- Major O'Hara.
- Give me a second.

I need to take care of
some surprise guests.

[GRUNTS]

Go ahead.

Kenta is back in Tokyo

and aligning with Cobra.

This is recent?

From tonight.

Hang on a sec, okay?

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Should we be worried?

About Scarlett?

No. Major O'Hara
is with the Joes.

The what?

An elite global
counterterrorism unit.

They're the good guys.

[GROANS]

[GROANS]

Cobra.

So what's the deal with Cobra?

The deal is,

they're a secret network of
t*rror1st cells, crime syndicates,

arms manufacturers
and paramilitary groups

linked under
a single centralized command.

A shadow organization devoted to
bringing about global revolution

through v*olence,
extortion and fear.

[KENTA] Major?

Major O'Hara? Major?

[SCARLETT] I just sent
you a mission brief.

I've been keeping tabs on an old friend
of mine who just landed in Japan.

I don't think
it's a coincidence.

Her name's Ana DeCobray,
aka "Baroness."

Since we lost touch,
she's been busy.

She k*lled a member
of parliament?

Along with 200 other passengers
on the same train,

just to influence an election.

She's been linked to bombings,
assassinations and civil unrest

everywhere from Nanzhao
to Borovia.

In short,
she's top-echelon Cobra.

If Kenta's linked up with the Baroness,
the thr*at to you is significant.

I'll be in Tokyo
as soon as I can.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[MUSIC PLAYS NEARBY]

I didn't sign up
to work for t*rrorists.

[BARONESS] A little late to grow
a conscience, don't you think?

We each have our own agenda.

There is no reason this triangle of
ours can't be purely transactional.

We all have something
the other wants.

Baroness.

I know who you are
and what you've done.

That rock you want me to steal,
it's for Cobra, isn't it?

No.

I didn't sign up for this.

As I said,
ours is a series of exchanges.

Kenta wants to
destroy the clan.

The clan
has something I want.

And we have something you want.

Now of course,
if you've had a change of heart,

you are free to go.

But then, so is he.

He goes by Augustine.

The man who
took your father's life...

and yours.

Tell me where he is.

Under lock and key.

But I promise you,
back out now

and you will never
see him again.

All that rage...

for all these years.

Are you sure you're ready
to give up the hunt

when you're so close
to finding peace?

Think about it.

You have three days.

Then I let him go.

Trust me. He'll do it.

He'd better.

Or I k*ll you both.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[BLIND MASTER] Every warrior has
a weakness your enemy can exploit.

The second challenge
will expose it.

To avoid harm, you must first
learn how you harm yourself.

Most can't manage and fail.

Where is everybody else?

This test is private
and unique to you.

You face it alone.

The light will reveal all.

Follow it.

[GROANS]

I'm sorry, Dad.

I couldn't stop him.

It's not your fault.

You were just a kid.

I couldn't save you.

You saved yourself.

That's the only thing
that mattered to me.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Did I pass?

This is more than a test
you pass or fail.

It is a mirror
to reveal your weakness.

Even if it causes you more pain,
you must unburden yourself.

It is the only way
to overcome the third challenge.

And I assure you,

this is not a challenge
you want to fail.

[MOTION DETECTOR HUMS]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[GASPS]

I miss something?

I followed you
into the city.

But you know that.

Where did you go?

You've been looking for a reason
not to trust me from the start.

You're an unknown.
That's dangerous.

- I think you can handle yourself.
- Dangerous to this clan.

You don't know
what this place means to me.

I owe the Arashikage everything.

I never knew family
before I arrived here.

Can you understand that?

You want to know why
I've been a ghost for so long?

My father was m*rder*d
when I was a kid.

When I tried to find out why,
it was as if he didn't exist.

False identities, false papers.

Everything about him was a lie.

Even my own name.

That's why
I couldn't find you.

If I pass
the third challenge...

I'm Arashikage, right?

If you pass.

I have to pass.

I've done unforgivable things I
wish I could tell you, but I can't.

But if I could become
part of this family,

be its protector...

I think
that would make it right.

Then empty your heart.

Whatever you're hiding
in there,

the challenge
will see right through it.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[BLIND MASTER] I see that
you have a clouded mind.

You live on both sides
of the mirror.

Only you know whether
you are ready to take this test.

Be certain
that you wish to proceed.

Once the third challenge
begins,

there is no turning back.

I'm sure.

Those who pass are
accepted into the Arashikage.

If you survive,
you will gain access

to our knowledge
and our power.

But you must swear loyalty
to our clan.

Do you accept
this condition?

I do.

What do I do
when I get down there?

[BLIND MASTER]
There is a particular tile.

Step on it
and wait for judgment.

[CHUCKLES]

Something funny?

You will see,

Snake.

[GEARS CRANKING,

[RUMBLING]

They never harm

Empty your heart.

[CHUCKLES]

[GRUNTS]

Go!

Go!

[ROARING]

She knows our rules.
She will be punished.

- Grandmother...
- You brought him among us.

The fault
is not hers alone.

No, Sen-san.

The fault is mine.

Explain yourself.

The penalty of lying is death.

We are all listening.

My heart is not pure.

I seek vengeance.

My father
was m*rder*d.

I have dedicated my life

to finding the man
who did it...

and k*lling him.

[INHALES, EXHALES]
This is all I've ever wanted.

He speaks the truth.

Your honesty
wins you your life,

but not among
the Arashikage.

Snake!

You should have told me.

We could have been brothers.

I know I failed you.

You are the only brother
I've ever known.

And I would pay you back
with my life if I had to.

Keep it.

Still want to know
how I got my scar?

From the last man I trusted.

Trust is a hard thing to
come by these days.

Time for you to learn a lesson.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANING]

[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING]

You have placed
the clan at risk.

You must atone.

We will return
the Jewel...

and bring you the head
of Snake Eyes.

[ENGINE STOPS]

[BARONESS] So?

Do you have it?

You're gonna start a w*r
with the Arashikage, aren't you?

What do you care?

Remember our deal,
and you will get what I promised.

[TRAIN RUMBLING]

This isn't my fight.

Come here.

Mmm.

Please,

enjoy your reward.

[KENTA] You will get the Jewel
once I've destroyed the clan.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Who are you?

You k*lled my dad.

You're going to have to be
a little more specific.

I k*lled a lot of people.

[PANTING]

Roll.

Win, you live.

Lose, you die.

Roll!

Roll!

Snake eyes.

You better think!

[TREMBLING]

Okay, okay. All right.

Now I remember you.
You att*cked me, tried to save your dad.

Why did you k*ll him?

Cobra gives an order,
you don't question it.

[EXHALES]

You're Cobra.

I was.

Until three weeks ago,

when that bitch dragged me
off a chopper at gunpoint.

You must be a big man for
the Baroness to hand me over.

Let's go. Let's do this.

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

I have to stop Kenta.

[AKIKO] There he is.

Follow him.

[TOMMY] What's he doing?

[AKIKO] Looks like he's
heading back to the castle.

[HORN HONKING]

Let's go.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Did you see that?
Snake's fighting on our side.

Tommy, listen to me.

Kenta's got the Jewel
and is headed for the castle.

Can you hear me?

Tommy! Akiko!

sh*t!

[GUARDS SHOUTING]

We have to keep you safe.

Nothing matters
but the safety of the clan.

You are the clan!

I am nothing by myself.

[SHOUTING]

[SHOUTING]

[SHOUTING]

I guess the party started early.

- He needs help.
- He deserves to die.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[SCREAMS]

[SHOUTS]

[CHUCKLES]

[SHOUTS]

We have to stop Kenta.
He has the Jewel.

[g*nf*re]

This isn't over.

Leave! Now!

I am the Arashikage.

This is a terrible idea.

[PANTING]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Very noble.
But the promise is not yours to make.

The Jewel.

The clan is destroyed.

We kept our side
of the bargain.

I trust you'll keep yours.

With this jewel,
Cobra will be invincible.

[KENTA]
Maybe I'll just keep it.

No good deed, huh?

Shut up.

Cobra will annihilate you.

You protect my grandmother.
I'll go after the Jewel.

When you cast me out,

I warned you
this day would come.

Kneel.

Very well, then.

Die.

We're under att*ck!
It's Tommy.

Snake.

[SCARLETT CLEARS THROAT]

- You're in a tight spot, huh?
- I've been in worse.

Still, I'd like to propose
a very temporary alliance.

All right.
But when it's over, I walk.

Not a chance,
but I'll give you a head start.

[SHOUTING, GRUNTING]

You're losing your touch.
I saw you a mile away.

Sure you did.

[HARD MASTER] Good of you
to join us, Tommy-san.

And just in time.

I count 20 men.

[SIGHS]
Heavy odds.

Yeah. For them.

[SHOUTING]

Snake Eyes,

betray our trust again,
I'll k*ll you myself.

What is she doing here?

Let's just say our goals
are temporarily aligned.

[BARONESS] Just for tonight.

[GROANS]

[SHOUTS]

They're mine.

[CHUCKLES]

[GRUNTS]

Yo, Joe.

[ALL SHOUTING]

- Hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

[PANTING]

[COUGHS]

f*ck this.

You should have k*lled me
when you had the chance.

[SEN] Tommy!

[SHOUTS]

Tommy-san, no! Tommy-san!

Kenta's gone.

Where's Snake?

[KENTA] Just stay down.

[GROANS]

[PANTING]

Abandon ego.

[GRUNTS]

Practice selflessness.

Strike with honor.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[CHUCKLING]

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

[SHOUTS]

This is where you die.

[HISSING]

[GROANING]

[GROANING]

[HISSING]

The Jewel of the Sun
is secure.

And it always will be.

At least
for another generation.

I will be the last of our family
to lead the Arashikage.

But Sen-sama...

I had no choice.

I only used the Jewel
to defend our people.

There is always a choice.

Our clan swore an oath
to never use the Jewel,

only to protect it.

You can never...

lead the clan.

With respect...

Remember your vows,
Tommy,

to forever serve the clan
in any capacity.

"Serve"?

[SHOUTS] Serve?

I have given my life
to this clan!

I have sacrificed
everything!

Tommy.

It is my blood right!

You offered me your life.

Next time we meet...

I will take it.

Tomisaburo, wait.

You will always
be a part of this family.

I serve no one.

- I'm going after Tommy.
- I had a feeling you might.

Are you sure that's wise?

In his state,
who knows what he might do?

That's why
I have to find him.

This is all my fault.

I have to do everything
I can to make it right.

Well, this might be useful.

Be careful.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Excuse me.

My commander,
General Joe Colton,

wanted to share this
with you.

I don't understand.

Your father was one of us.
A Joe.

He was a Joe?

You'll find no record
of you in there.

He kept you off the grid
to protect you.

So why was he k*lled?

Your father infiltrated
a Cobra cell.

But they found out.

By the time we got there,
he was dead and you were gone.

But you should know the intel he
provided saved thousands of lives.

At the cost of his own.

It was a price
he was willing to pay

to make the world a safer place
for the rest of us.

Safer for his son.

He left some big shoes
to fill, your dad.

It hasn't been easy finding
the right person to fill them.

[CHUCKLES] So you're
saying I could be a Joe?

Anything's possible.

We all make mistakes.

It's what we do next
that really matters.

When you're ready,
Akiko knows where to find us.

There's something
I need to do first.

Let's find Tommy
and bring him home.

Something to drink
before takeoff?

I'm not here to k*ll you.

I came to make you an offer.

[SCOFFS]
You've lost an army, Tommy.

But I can get you a better one.

Storm Shadow.

Call me Storm Shadow.
