[Bangkok, Thailand.  Summer 2000]

Isono: Hello, Fujiyama Travel.

Shogun: Isono-san?  I called you thousands of times!  Where were you?!

Isono: Oh, Shogun.  I was out getting dinner.  Did you finish the job?

Shogun: Easy for you to say.  Listen, you better refuse ALL jobs like this one from now on.

Isono: Come on.  It's not that hard to take an OD'ing Japanese man to a hospital, now is it?

Shogun: He's dead.

[And right when I was taking the body out of the hotel, the frickin' police showed up.]

Shogun: If the hotel people hadn't explained the situation and bribed the officers for me,
	I'd be in the slammer right now.

Isono: Hahaha!  Okay then, good job.

Shogun: It's not funny!!
	Right before he died, he told me...

<<Man: T...  they did it, they...
	injected me...

 - Page 31 -

Shogun: Plus, if you look hard, he's got bruises everywhere but his face...
	And his arms had rope marks...
	That was no drug overdose.
	That Japanese was murdered.

Isono: Oh my, oh my, what a bother.
	Probably shouldn't get involved in something like THAT any longer.

Shogun: You were the one who got me into this!!

Isono: Oh, you got another phone call.

Shogun: I don't care about...

Isono: Well, see you later.

Phone: (beep beep)

Shogun: Sighhhh.

Vee: I'm so happy!!  You came to MY house, Shogun!!

Shogun: Some ruffians busted into my place, it's not like I can sleep soundly there.

Vee: I wouldn't let you sleep either.

Shogun: Whatever.  Get me some food.

Vee: Okay.
	Let this be a lesson.  Don't let Chaipon's women go home.
	No matter how hard you run, you can't get away from him.
	Yen saw it.
	She got taken back to Chaipon's place.

Shogun: WHAT?!

Vee: Eeek!!

Shogun: What did you just say...?

Vee: Um...  uh, just...

 - Page 34 -

Vee: That girl you saved is called Mei, right?!  Yen saw her get dragged into Chaipon's headquarters...
	Uh...
	Where are you going?  I'll cook for you.

Shogun: I'm borrowing this rug holder.

Vee: What are you going to do with it?

Chaipon: Attachai ignored my orders and won the fight?
	Make sure he'll never be able to do kickboxing again.

Man: But...  Master Chaipon.  He has not been seen since the fight ended...

Chaipon: Find him, and kill him.

Men: Yes, sir.
	Hey, bring 3 or 4 of the new kids.
	Okay.
	C'mon boys, we've got work!

Man: Huh?
	Wh...  what the?

Other Man: Hey, don't forget the guns.

 - Page 37 -

Man: Ka...
	Kaha...

Shogun: The woman...
	Where is Mei?!

Man: Third floor...
	Inside...

 - Page 38 -

Shogun: (creak)

Mei: Mmmmph.
	Mmmmph.

Shogun: You okay?

Mei: Mmmmph.
	Mmmmph.
	No, forget about me...

Shogun: Don't give up!!
	Let's go!!

Mei: I can't!  I can't run away anymore!

Shogun: Don't you want to see your child?!

 - Page 39 -

Man: What the hell are you doin'?!

Shogun: Run!!

Man: Why you...!!

<<Man: (hahh) (hahh)
	(hahh) (hahh)

<<Monk: You are still...
	You are still dying, boy...
	That tree is your past...
	If you don't cut it down, you will never truly live...

<<Man: (hahh) (hahh)
	YAAAAAAAAAAH!!

 - Page 41 -

Shogun: RUN OUT TO THE STREET IN FRONT!!
	(hahh) (hahh) (hahh)

Mei: We're done for...

 - Page 42 -

Shogun: Don't give up!!

Mei: We can't run anymore!!

Shogun: You want to see your sick baby, right?!

Mei: But I can't!!

Shogun: I couldn't see my child die.
	I was a terrible father.  Maybe he didn't want me to come in the end!
	Even then, I should have gone to see him!
	You slip away while he's aiming at me.

Mei: B...  but, what are you...

Shogun: GO!!

 - Page 43 -

Man: Ahem...  pardon me.
	Excuse me... I seem to be lost...
	How may I get to Happon Street...?

Gunman: (ta)

Man: Er...

 - Page 44 -

Shogun: Thanks, you saved us.  Happon Street's just down this way and to the right.

Man: Thank you.  Your Japanese is fluent...  are you from Japan?
	I am a member of the Japanese Cabinet...
	Manjoume Inshuu of the Friendship Democratic Party.
