Warigami (2019) - full transcript

Origami: beautiful paper folding, killer weapons, or both?

Thank you for waiting.

Final
boarding call for Flight...

Haven't seen a paper passport
in a while.

So Ms... Teramoto,

I'm just gonna cut to it.

Your passport was flagged "DWC."

I've worked customs 15 years;

I had to look up what
that means.

Do you know what it means?

It means "Detain Without
Contact."

Bunch of scary guys above my
pay grade are on the way now.



They don't even want me in
the room with you.

You have no criminal record
that I can find,

so do you wanna explain to me

why our government's flagging
you like you're al-Qaeda?

Ms. Teramoto?

Do you speak English?

Was she armed?

Just the bag.

Don't touch that.

Ahh! Ahhhhh!

- Really?
- Yeah.

Cool. Where were you? I mean,
I messaged you around...

Whatcha watchin'?

I don't know.



Real Housewives of something.

- Wanna watch something?
- Nah, got a busy day today.

What do you got?

Got hot yoga,

couple of work meetings
over lunch,

and packing for a scuba trip
to Grand Cayman.

- Sweet
- You should come.

Can't.

Hosting a Victoria's Secret
fundraiser this weekend.

Those girls know how to
party.

Who the hell are you?

Scatter!

Oh, you are so dead!
We are so dead!

- My necklace!
- No, no, no! I got it!

...they just ran out! No!
Just right now!

Ungh!

Thank you! Thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you.

Easy, man,
it's just a necklace

Did we get anything out
of there?

Burger joint gift card.

I guess we know where
we're getting lunch.

Boom. Maxed out the balance.

Aw, come on, man.
No. No.

Don't pull that Mother Theresa
again, man,

- I'm starving.
- Here.

Should last you a while.

You know, technically,
we're homeless too!

Hey, Mr. Banta.

What do you got
for me?

You know, we ran into
a little bit of a snafu

at the last place, but uh...

Snafu? I don't want to hear
"snafu"!

You bring me fresh loot,
or I use the footage.

Wait! No, no, no. You don't
need to use that footage.

We just need to hit up
another place.

- Give us two hours.
- One hour.

Well, we need a little bit
of time to...

And we're dead again.

Do you know what your
problem is?

Toxic friendships that
sabotage my potential?

Okay, you are taking that
court-mandated counseling

way too seriously.

So which one looks good
to you?

Vincent?

Ow!

Hey, hey. Stop, stop, stop!

Hey, man, what is it?

You don't hear that?

Hey, man,
where are you going?

We just watched him leave. It
doesn't get cleaner than that!

Well, what if someone else
lives there?

There's no lights on
in the house.

What if he has a live-in
assistant?

"What if" is gonna be on
your tombstone. Come on!

- Doesn't even have a TV.
- What is this guy, Amish?

Vincent?

What? What is it?

Maybe he's a very fit older
gentleman.

He is not.

Good afternoon.

I would ask you what you're
doing in my house,

but given the damaged window
downstairs,

I'd say burglary
is a safe assumption.

Uh, we don't wanna hurt
anyone.

Why are you in a bathrobe?

Don't worry about
the bathrobe.

We're just here for phones,
laptops,

anything with a hard drive.

I don't think they have any,
man.

So if you just wanna give us
whatever you've got,

then we'll be on our way.

I propose a different
arrangement.

The two of you fight me.

- Fight you?
- Correct.

If you win, you can have
anything in the house.

If you lose, you will leave
immediately...

- if you still can.
- Okay, listen up, Fight Club,

we're robbing you, okay?

And we're dangerous criminals,
like dragon energy bad dudes,

so stop playing around before
we're forced to get ugly.

Ugly is exactly what I want.

Why do you think the house has
no security?

Sometimes I even just leave
the doors open.

You're the third break-in
this year.

I'm undefeated... so far.

- Why are you doing this?
- Shall we begin?

- I'm not hitting a girl.
- Ungh!

Oh...

Okay, I'm gonna let that go
all right? But...

Agh!

Ungh!

Ungh!

All right, fun's over,
now we're really gonna...

- No need to help, Mark!
- Yeah, you got it, man!

So I feel like you've learned
your lesson.

- Get back here!
- No! Easy!

Fight back! Come on!

Yo, man, is it weird if
we call the police on her?

- How did you do that?
- I...

what did I do?

You're Kamijin?

- What?
- Come on, let's go.

I did it.

I did it!

Wait! Wait!

Wow...

Go!

Thank you!

That wasn't real, right?

I mean there is no way I saw
what I saw in there, right?

- What'd you do to that paper?
- I don't know.

You don't know?
You were doing it, man!

I don't know what I did,
okay? It just happened!

Besides, we have way bigger
problems, okay?

We gotta get outta town.

Ungh!

Mr. Banta! Hey, we were
just comin' to see ya.

This is,
this is my favorite part.

Sorry, I didn't understand.

I said, this is my favorite
part.

This gets me every time.

Well, you destroyed like half
of my living room

but it's worth it
for comedy gold.

Now...

we had an agreement.

You were gonna bring me premium
loot every week, on time,

and I don't show America's
Funniest Home Invasion Video

to your parole officers.

You got my hardware?

- Yeah, no problem.
- No. Not yet.

That's too bad.

This is like, what, third
strike for you guys?

That's a lotta time in a cage.

Stop!

Delete all your copies of that
footage and leave us alone.

- Vincent, what're you doing?
- What's that?

I got this.

You guys are funny,
I'll give you that.

Some balls on you.

About what just happened...

I... I know we both said some
things we regret...

What up, known associates?!

It's your boy Banta here!

Today, got a couple of employees

who need a lesson in manners.

So today's tutorial is
how do you kneecap someone.

Boom!

Uh, give us anything...
a job so stupidly dangerous

that you wouldn't bother,
and we'll do it!

Huh.

How?

Let's just say we have a new
trick up our sleeves.

Ah, like a, like a hack?

Yeah, sure. Kinda.

There's a card game over
at the Pho House downtown.

All the big dark Web social
media mobsters will be playing,

but, uh, security's tight.
I mean, like it is...

It... it's like a death trap
in there.

I wouldn't waste any
of my people on it.

- We'll do it.
- No, we won't.

Well, I'll text you
the deets,

and set you up as the dealer,

but um... don't mention my name.

And don't let me down again.

How have we
survived this day, man?

- Grandfather!
- Mr. Ohata.

- I can do it.
- What?

It happened. Just now.

And I was right, stress
and danger unlocked it,

just like I thought!
I'm a kamijin!

Two burglars broke in
and I did it.

I finally did it!

Slow down. What're you
talking about?

Just watch.

Hmm!

I don't understand.
It was working.

I was doing it!
We were both doing it.

We were throwing paper
at each other.

You... you were fighting
with paper?

- Yes
- How long ago?

I don't know. Half an hour?

We have to leave right now.

What's happening?

The Akuma have trackers
who can sense

when Kamijin use their
abilities.

Stay in here and stay quiet.

- Let me help you. I can fight.
- I don't want your help.

I told you,
I don't want you here!

James Ohata.

Ungh!

Ahhh!

What're you doing? Are you,
are you gonna pack or what?

I don't get it.
It was doing it before.

Okay, look, unless you have
some kind of secret plan

to rob the card game,
it is bail-o-clock, man.

Let's go! Ow!

There it is!

I-I-It's working. It's working.

- But why is it working now?
- Because of me.

Whoa! How did you find us?

Your address was on the pizza
receipt

you used to destroy our lamp.

- Do you live here?
- Yeah,

we have an understanding
with the owner.

What understanding?

Well, we live here and he
doesn't know about it.

'Kay, look, we're a little
busy here. Can we help you?

No, you can't.

But I am stuck with you anyway.

What?

Where did you get that?

From our grandfather.

- I'm saying I'm your sister.
- No, I got that.

- You didn't say anything.
- It was a lot.

- I was gathering my thoughts.
- Fine, I will do it again.

Please pay attention this time
and try to respond promptly.

You don't need to do that.

- I'm your sister.
- Okay.

James Ohata.

Okay. I prepared a great deal
for this moment,

and now that it's here,
words are failing me.

Whatever you're selling,
I'm not interested.

I'm Wendy.

Your granddaughter.

- You got the wrong house.
- No, I don't.

I've been researching our
family for the past two years.

What the hell are you,
Nancy Drew?

No. Just a trust-fund kid
with a lot of free time.

I know my parents, your
daughter, were murdered

and the police have barely
investigated.

What part of "not interested,
wrong house,"

do you not understand?

I know you're in hiding
from someone,

I know they're powerful, that's
why you changed your name

and gave me and my brother up
for adoption...

but I don't know who or why.

I want the truth
about our family.

You shouldn't be here.

It took a while,

but eventually he let me
into his life.

Sort of.

More like it was
easier to let me in

than try to get me to go away.

I learned our family
are kamijin:

we can change the density
of paper with a touch.

Light as a feather,
hard as metal.

But I couldn't do it.

I trained. I tried everything
for almost two years,

but I couldn't do it.

Until I met you.

Right, so hold on, let me,
let me get this straight.

You're saying that you two
are brother and sister.

Twins.

And you have, like,
paper powers.

They're not powers.
The Japanese call it Kamijin.

Right. And you're saying that

your parents had these powers
too and that's why they died?

My parents died
in a car accident.

Our parents died in a car,

but it was not an accident.

They were murdered by the Akuma.

Mm. Those are the bad paper
people.

That is an oversimplification.

Our family are Guardians.

We protect a very dangerous
weapon that the Akuma want.

That's why they killed
our parents,

that's why they have
grandfather,

and that's why you have
to help me save him.

- What? What's wrong?
- No, I love it. It's great.

Honestly, I thought
I'd heard it all,

but that is gold.

Little pro tip:
simplify the story.

Because when your mark
gets confused,

the hustle falls apart.

What's your first memory,
Vincent?

Mine is a fountain when I was
four years old.

I was given this necklace and
there was a boy there with me.

We were left there
and told to wait.

You think it's a coincidence
you broke into my house?

It's the Kamijin in our blood,
Vincent.

It draws us together.

I mean you do kinda look
alike.

Oh no... no, I'm not saying
that you both look alike

because you're both Asian.

No, I'm just saying that you...

In addition to both being
brother and sisters...

I'm just saying that you...

yeah, I'm gonna shut up.

Forty-one, forty-two,
forty-three,

forty-four, forty-five,
forty-six,

forty-seven, forty-eight,
forty-nine...

fifty.

- Just lost it.
- I did as well.

How far is that?

- About fifty feet.
- Grandfather did say

the ability mutates
every generation.

It seems this is ours.

We have to be near each other.

- That's a hell of a catch.
- It is a hindrance, I agree,

but it's a manageable variable.

Why do you always talk like
you're studying for the SATs?

Why do you talk like you
never studied anything?

- Burn.
- Time is of the essence.

We need to start preparing
for the mission

- to rescue grandfather.
- Whoa, what?

No, I'm not rescuing anybody.

This is your family, Vincent.

Mark is my family.
Ten years in foster care.

Where were you
or Mr. Ohata then?

I am not leaving until
you agree to assist me.

Then I hope you packed
your toothbrush.

So what do we do here?

I mean you don't believe any
of this, do you?

No way. She can't actually be
my sister, right?

She's annoying as (slice).

- She's kinda cute, though.
- What?

You have a thing for her?

After everything that's
happened today,

that's all you can think
about is...

- That's it.
- What's it?

That's what we're gonna do.

Go ask her out.

- Wait. Ask who out?
- My sister in there.

Just go get her number

and ask her to go to lunch
or coffee or whatever.

- Go as friends.
- Why?

Just trust me.

I can use this paper thing
to rob the card game,

but she has to be there.

- Just go get her number.
- I can't.

- Why not?
- Look at her, man.

She has nice hair, and she
smells like flowers (slice).

- You can do this.
- I really can't.

- Just trust me.
- I really don't.

Okay, so we've talked
about it

and we've decided to help you
with your mission thing

that you're doing.

- Why would I need him?
- Yeah, good point.

Uh...
we're a package deal.

And Mark here has something
that he needs to ask you.

Do you wanna get some cunch?

Sorry. I couldn't decide
between "coffee" and "lunch,"

so they kinda both came out
there.

Hai!

Hey. I'm in position.

I'm ready too.

She's here.

Good. Now remember:

she's gotta stay within 50 feet
of me back here.

You sure you measured it right?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure,

but there's a kitchen
between us,

so I'm not gonna have a lot
of room over here.

Table 2, order!

What if she figures it out?

Relax, she's not gonna figure
anything out.

I can't do this, man.
I'm not good with girls.

Come on. Just chew
with your mouth closed,

and it'll be over
before you know it.

I'm here for the game.

Empty your pockets.

What's this?

Cards. For the game.

First time, huh?

Hey, everyone, I'm...

Late's what you are.

Dealer sits here.

I still don't know why
we couldn't do this

- at the warehouse.
- Oh, yeah. You know,

Vincent and I actually
come here all the time.

- It's great steaks.
- It's a vegetarian restaurant.

Vegetarian steaks.

Do you think I could take
a quick bathroom break first?

Two minutes.

Is there sugar?

- So where's Vincent?
- Yup,

he's running a little late.

Hey, (slice),
you missed a spot!

Ahhh!

- Ungh!
- Agh!

- What was that?
- I think they're expanding.

Agh! Come on!

Can we sit over there?

I'm uncomfortable being this
close to the kitchen.

Oh, I, I really don't think
we should move over there,

it's not really allowed.

Ungh!

Ungh!

Mark, what the (slice)'s
going on?

You know, I think we should
sit over here.

I'd really prefer this table.

But there's a mouse
over there!

So?

Hey!

Yes!

- What are you doing?!
- Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Where is he?

- Who?
- My piece of (slice) brother!

Where you goin'?!

I knew I couldn't trust you
idiots!

Look, I know we're (slices),

but Vincent's gonna die
if we don't do something.

Who put you up
to this?

Was it Louise?
Was it Demetri?

Was it Klepto Karl?

Are those all real people?

Agh!

Yes!

Ungh!

- A little help?!
- Hang on!

Don't kill them,
just knock them out!

You think they're trying
to knock us out?!

Let's go! Let's go!

Uh, guys?

Give us the money,
we'll let you go.

No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no!

Can't you just throw
individual bills?!

Let's go! Vincent, let's go!

I am not going to debate
this anymore.

I saved your life, now you help
me rescue grandfather.

- It's quid pro quo!
- I don't speak Japanese.

- Oh my God...
- I'm kidding.

Look, you threw away
20 grand back there!

- So what?
- So what?

God, you're such
a trust-fund kid!

Mark and I have to earn
everything that we have!

I earned what's mine!

Don't presume to know
about my life!

Okay. Easy, killer.

Look, big picture,
20 grand is nothing.

- Uh, guys?
- You're not listening!

Every time we use our ability,
they can track us.

The more we use it,
the easier they can find us.

- We have another problem.
- Your boy Banta here. And uh...

just got word that a couple
of my employees

botched a simple job.

I'm gonna give 'em a little
performance review,

huh Vincent?

That's not our parking lot,
is it?

What the hell are you doing?!

I told you to steal the money,
not... leave it on the ground

in front of the people
you stole it from!

- There's paper over there.
- Talk your way out of it.

- Who's she?
- She's a friend.

Uh, look, we just had
a little setback,

and we just need a little
more...

I don't wanna hear about
setbacks or snafus!

I'm sorry, boys, but...
I gotta drop the hammer.

All right? It's what my
followers expect.

Now make sure you keep it
steady for the kill shot and...

Dude! Vertical! Come on!

Now, you want his first shot
central thorax.

You can always come back later,
finesse with a headshot.

You know, once they're
incapacitated.

Ungh!

What're you doing?

What the...?

Ungh!

Ungh!

You are coming with me.

Now can we use it?

Yes.

Come on!

Stay back!

- Who are you?
- We're your worst night...

Ungh!

Good form, but too fast.

Ahhh!

How's my form now?

No, no, no, no, no.

- Just give me a second.
- It's under,

then the snake goes through
the hole.

What snake? Could you please
hold her still?

Guys, that's definitely
wrong;

that's a Langford double.

This is supposed to be
a Yosemite bowline.

Oh, shhh! She's awake.

Oh my God,
I just kidnapped someone.

- Relax.
- Untie me...

or I'll gut you like a pig!

So what is the plan here
exactly?

We're going to ask you some
questions.

You got lucky with the water.

When I get free,
I'll show you what pain is.

I'm freaking out, man.

What knot is this?

Langford double.
Bad choice.

Where are you holding
Grandfa...

Mr. Ohata?

He's your grandfather?

We didn't know that.

You were wearing this.
What is it?

Your Oji-san... is being
tortured right now.

Bleeding everywhere.
Begging for mercy.

You will tell me.

We cut pieces of him off
one at a time.

- Ahhh!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Let's just let her stew.

Hey, guys, I think we should
probably get rid of those bodies.

'Kay, fine, I'll do it.

So who exactly is our friend
in the shower there?

She's Akuma.

She knows where
they're holding him.

We need to make her tell us
so we can infiltrate their base

and rescue him.

Infiltrate? What are we,
Seal Team Six?

Will this base be full
of more people like her?

Yes.

Okay. Have fun with that.

- Excuse me?
- Look,

I know I owe you for the card
game back there,

but as far as I'm concerned,

let the Akuma have
the old bastard.

It's not just about him.

Mr. Ohata is protecting
a very powerful weapon.

What kind of weapon?

- A magical scroll.
- A magical scroll.

Yes.

So is that like D&D magic?

Or like My Little Pony
friendship magic?

This is not a joke.

The Akuma cannot
have that scroll,

or a lot of people
will be killed.

Why do you care so much?

You were adopted
by rich people,

you had the good life.

Rich people who wanted me
for a trophy, not a daughter.

I may not have been poor,

but I grew up alone
just like you.

So you think that
if we rescue the old fart

that he's suddenly gonna start
loving us?

Wake up, Wendy,
he threw us away.

Now we can return the favor.
Karma's a bitch.

Fine!

Fine.

If you won't consider
the moral imperatives,

I suppose a financial incentive
is my only recourse.

Seriously, do you even
understand yourself

- when you talk?
- He's rich.

If you rescue him,
prove you're family,

what's his is yours.

- He doesn't care about us.
- He is aging,

and he needs someone to protect
the scroll when he's gone.

Help me this one time,

and you will never need
to break into anything again.

If it starts to look like
suicide...

It won't. I promise.

Okay. Fine.

We'll look at it.

Okay.

- Wow.
- What?

I'm not usually able to
convince people to do things.

That doesn't surprise me.

Does anybody wanna help me
with this?!

Are you sure this will work?

Yeah.

Banta was beefing with some
drug dealers outside the city.

If these bodies show up
on their turf,

no one's gonna ask questions.

- What about his car?
- Banta Ubers.

Very strange gangster.

Okay, don't be gone long.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Because we need the car.

Right, yeah.

Oh, sorry.

I guess sleep's out.

This must be what parenthood
is like.

What do you think
this thing is?

Could be an identifier,
so they know each other.

So what does this My Little
Pony scroll do, anyway?

It's a long story.

I think we have time.

A long time ago,

in Japan,

there was a poor village

that was constantly being
raided by bandits.

The villagers couldn't
defend themselves;

they were just fishermen.

Farmers.

- What?
- They were farmers,

not fishermen.

If you want to tell the story,
tell the truth.

They were fishermen.

Is that what Oji-san told
you?

Okay, whatever.

They were people,
they were poor,

they were being beat up on.

What happened?

One day, a mage wandered
into the village,

and he feels sorry
for the fishermen.

So he casts a spell on them

that let them use an everyday
object to defend themselves.

Paper.

They were the first Kamijin.
Our ancestors.

But the power corrupted them,

and they started using it
to conquer other villages.

Chigao.

Wrong.

The people loved the Kamijin.

They made us rulers of all
Japan.

That's absurd.

They became dictators.

The Kamijin gave Japan
a golden age.

No war. No crime.
Perfect harmony...

That's Akuma propaganda.

The Kamijin violently oppressed
the people...

Okay, stop.

I can't track this story
if you guys keep arguing.

What matters is,
the mage changed his mind.

So he decided he was going
to take the power away

from the Kamijin.

Any objections?

But magic is like energy,

you can only transfer it,
not destroy it.

So the mage locked the full
Kamijin power in a scroll,

like a prison for the power
he regretted bestowing.

But a small trace of the power

remained in the blood
of the descendants,

like a residue
that wouldn't wash out.

It would mutate every
generation,

changing, evolving.

But it was always just a shadow
of its original self.

So if you get this scroll
and read it,

what happens?

Nobody knows for sure.

The legends say the original
Kamijin

could move paper
with their minds,

make it explode.

They were unstoppable.

A few could even take out
entire armies.

So that's why you want it.

We are going to use
the scroll to retake Japan.

And then we attack
the true evil:

modern technology.

Technology?

That's why you're doing
all this?

Cause you don't like
the new iPhone?

Nuclear weapons,
government spying,

pollution rotting the Earth.

Humanity is self-destructing

because we were not meant
to live like this.

The Akuma will save us,

take us back to the old ways,

the natural world.

And what if not everyone
wants to live

in your "natural world"?

We take care of it...

like we took care
of your parents.

Wendy, wait!

Do it. Come on.

Mm!

That's for Mom and Dad.

Hey! Hey!

Ah!

Hmph!

What the hell is this?

"I am caught by the children
at the doghouse.

They hug me rain.
Your news box is safe.

They are not trapping
your place.

They are not razors
and they do not understand it."

"They're not razors?"

Wait, uh... I think I know
that symbol.

Where?

There it is.

So this is a box of e-news
readers.

Says you can read magazines,
books,

and I'm guessing
that's newspapers.

Newspapers.

Grandfather said he always
suspected the Akuma

used newspapers
to transmit messages.

"Thanks, Vincent.
Great idea."

It makes sense.
They wouldn't use technology

unless it was an absolute
emergency.

- Like sending an S.O.S.?
- Exactly.

Mark, go to the library.
Check the microfiche

for patterned messages
in newspapers.

Focus on anything to do
with Japanese history.

If they're holding grandfather
in the city,

there might be something
about it there.

I mean, can't you guys
do this?

I'm more of the computer guy.

We need somebody responsible
here to keep an eye on her.

Right.

Oh, no, don't get up.

Paper check.

Stop it.

Ungh!

Ungh!

Damn.

Sit. Still.

Who taught you that backhand?

Westmount Girls Tennis Club.

I was a rich girl, too.

And then you became
a terrorist.

I learned there
was a war going on

and I was born
on the wrong side.

I wasn't born
on the wrong side.

Really?

Look at him.

You think he is ready to die
for this?

Stop talking or I turn
the shower on.

He's weak.

When it gets hard, he will run.

Like your Oji-san.

Grandfather gave us up
to protect us.

Or maybe he thought you
slow him down.

You're clean.

Don't do this.

You are going to die,
you know that.

Stop protecting a family

that never protected you.

Join us.

Help us find the scroll.

We can help you.

I can help you.

You always play
so defensively.

And you always over-extend.

F14.

Doesn't matter...

what you do to me,

I'm never gonna break.

I have not even begun
to break you.

But when I do,

you will beg me to take
the scroll from you.

Is that so?

When does this "breaking" begin?

Now.

Ahhhhhhh!

You guys wanted to know
where the Akuma base is?

Well, there it is.

Is that the library?

How did I not think of this?

I pulled records going back
ten years, all right?

And a Japanese company has been
buying every bookstore,

library and reading room
they can get their hands on.

It's perfect.

They can set up forward
operating bases

all over the world,
right under our noses,

and nobody notices because...

'Cause nobody goes
to libraries anymore.

- Exactly.
- Well, how hard can it be

to break into a library?

This place is crawling
with Akuma

disguised as employees
and customers.

Okay, so we wait until night,
when they're closed.

Yeah, I had that idea too.

Look, the place becomes
a fortress at night.

I mean, almost triple
the security.

So our best bet is to break in
just before they close at 9 pm.

When the fewest number
of people will be there.

Fluke.

Lucky.

I managed to pull the
blueprints and permit history.

They have done massive
additions to the place,

both above and below ground.

They added three floors
above ground

and put in a basement
underneath the bottom level,

then reinforced it on all sides
with military grade steel.

So, if they're holding
grandfather in the city,

it's there.

So how do we know what room
they're keeping him in?

There's no way to know that.

Well then,
how do we get down there?

The blueprints don't say.

So we need to break into
a public library...

- While it's open.
- Right, while it's open,

without being noticed by
the Akuma or the public,

we need to go through a door
we can't find

and don't know how to open,

and somehow find this guy in
a giant maze...

which I'm assuming is infested
with Akuma guards...

and walk him out of there
without anybody noticing?

Well, anything sounds bad
if you say it like that.

I can't watch.

Sorry, Mr. Jonesy.

Hey, guys, I got something!

The Akuma may be good
with paper,

but they suck ass
at cyber security.

- Is this the library?
- Yeah, main floor.

There's about a dozen
computers up there,

each one with a webcam,
I can get you any one.

This is excellent work, Mark.

Who is that?

Yeah, I saw her when I was
scouting, too.

- Wait, go back.
- It's a live feed.

What is she doing there?
Okay, stop there!

What part of "live feed"
don't you unders...

Just make it stop!

That's the leader.
It has to be.

And that's where
the entrance is.

Hey, guys, if we can make
weapons from paper,

maybe we can use paper
to make this.

To protect you.

Oh yeah. Yes, yes!

No. No way.
That won't work.

How is Vincent gonna
move in that?

Give me a printer
and few hours.

I can make it work.

I got it.

So what's going on
with you and Wendy?

What?

Feel like there's a vibe
going on.

Man, you need to get your
vibe-feeling-thing

- checked, man.
- Come on.

Trust me, I'm an expert on
girls not being into me.

Maybe she likes you but
she's too afraid to show it.

How would we tell?

How does it feel to know
you will die tomorrow?

- Are you afraid...
- You know what?

It's late, I'm tired,
and I have a headache.

Why don't we skip the mind
games tonight?

Who gave you this?

Me. First time I used paper.

This is from my first time.

An envelope cut me on
the way down.

Mine was a birthday card.

Missed my throw,
bounced off the wall,

and came back on me.

Ouch.

Whose birthday was it?

Mine. I was eighteen.

That was the night
they found us.

Who found you?

Yakuza.

My father owed them money.

We ran, but they found us.

They were hurting him,

I had to make them stop.

Did you kill them?

I didn't know
what was happening.

It was like a light switch
turned on

and it was over.

And I looked down,

and my father...

What?

Tell me.

He was dead.

My birthday card
was in his throat.

I'm sorry.

I never told anybody that.

Well, I'm probably dead
tomorrow anyway, right?

Your secret's safe with me

"Number one.
She plays with her hair."

Does she play with her hair
around you?

She got it caught
in the door once.

"Number Three. She will often
make steady eye contact

and suddenly look away."

I mean she does the "looking
away" part plenty,

but not so much the first thing.

I will miss this.

Uh... you know what?

Why don't you just tell me more
about that idea.

The library closes
in half an hour,

should be barely anyone
in there.

Are you ready?

'Cause we need you to get
really loud in there.

Yeah. Yeah,
I think I'm good.

- You don't look good.
- Yeah, it's just...

I don't really get loud,
you know?

How do I do that?

- Just... act like him.
- Oh.

- What did you say?
- Hmm? - Yeah.

Thank you.

Am I getting some
interference?

'Cause there's no way you said
what I think you said.

Okay, Let's not make
a thing about it.

I just know you're risking
a lot being here

and I appreciate it.

I've never really had anyone
I could depend on before.

- Testing...
- Agh! Too loud!

Ooh! Way too loud!

Yes? Can I help you?

Which shelf is it?

Vincent?

Hey!

Ungh!

Oh, (slice), Wendy!

He's fine.

He's fine. Come on.

Did you have to use an atlas?

What is this?

Cash is nice, tips are
better, birthday girl.

- Guard!
- Hey!

According to city public
performance ordinance 42069,

when you allowed me to complete
my performance just now...

- Can you please handle this?
- ...you engaged in a binding

non-verbal contract to render
payment for services!

So you, madam,
are in breach of a contract!

Sir, calm down.

I didn't agree to any
contract.

You could've stopped
the song at any time!

Ah! I tried to stop it!

No, you chose to avail
yourself of my services

and now you don't wanna pay
for those services.

- That's called theft!
- I'm gonna have to...

Get your hands off me, man!
Look, if you lay a hand on me

I'll see you in court,
you son of a bitch.

I'll own this place,
you understand?

I'll own all y'all
motha!

Mark, we're heading down now.

Well, you know what? Fine.

I'm not lugging this damn bear
outta here for free any way,

I'll tell you that!

You can't leave that
thing here!

Oh yeah? Watch me!

You're all living in the past!

Okay, Mark,
this better work.

I can't believe that worked.

- We need to hurry.
- I know.

They're gonna find the other
guy upstairs.

I said I know!

Grandfather!

Are you okay?

Have they hurt you?

What the hell are you
doing here?

We need to go, right now!

Yah!

Uh, hi. I-I'm your grandson,
Vincent.

You're a idiot
is what you are.

Hey, we came here
to rescue you.

I don't need to be rescued!

You've risked everything
by coming here!

Is it too late
to put him back?

Hi! So, listen,
I wanna apologize.

I lost my temper,
there is no excuse.

I have anger issues.
Um, I'm working on them.

Dr. Grady says it's a process.

There it is.

'Kay.

If you think for one second
I'm getting... Oh!

I got a couple of associates
coming over

from the delivery company
to help me

get that bear outta here, and
you will never see us again.

All right? Great.

Sound good? Let's do it.

Good job, dude. How did
you come up with that?

I had some inspiration.

Can I help you with that?

Welcome, children.

Welcome.

Two new Kamijin.

So intriguing.

I have known many kinds
of mutations in kamijin,

but yours, I think,
is my favorite.

The magic in your blood

leaves you powerless apart,

strong together.

It's... sweet.

So forgive me if I keep you
far away from each other.

It will help us as we make
your grandfather finally talk.

How did you escape?

I escaped a long time ago,
Wendy.

While you slept,
I sent a message.

Told them I could make you
come to us.

Then I wrote another message...

to help you find us.

Hey!

Why risk taking you
by force

If you'll come here

of your own free will?

We don't have the scroll!
Why do you want us?

Your grandfather is more
resilient than we expected.

We needed to find
his soft spot.

Ungh!

Mm!

Start with the girl.

We could use her.

- She's strong.
- Now, Sadako.

I'm going to ask you
ten times.

Do you understand me?

- Ten times.
- Wait a minute.

- No! This is too far, come on!
- Don't tell them anything!

- Give them the damned scroll!
- No!

It's okay.

I'm ready.

Where is the scroll?

Go to hell.

No!

I'm sorry.

Maybe he's more fond
of the boy.

No! Don't hurt him!

I'm getting impatient.

Let's try the whole hand.

Where is the scroll?

It's at my house.

Take me there
and I'll show you.

You will show us now!

- Magic in the blood...
- What?

- Do it!
- Ungh!

Ahhh!

Ah! Ungh!

Leave. I'll handle this.

No, absolutely not!
You're coming with us.

You stay, we all die.

Get to the scroll,
it's all that matters now.

Wendy, we have to go
right now!

- Anything?!
- Nothing!

Nothing!

They're gonna be here soon!

There's no way
it's in this house!

He has to know the Akuma
would check it.

Unless it was somewhere
they wouldn't look.

Do you still have the laptop
in the car?

You're wasting your time!

There's barely anything
electrical in this house.

Exactly. If you were
a Kamijin,

and you want to hide something
from another Kamijin,

where would you put it?

Behind the one thing
they assume you don't use:

technology. There's a hackable
network in this house,

we just missed it
the first time.

Like this.

What does this do?

Traffic lights.

I'm telling you, we didn't
even have a tape deck!

There. What's that?

- That's a utility!
- Or that's the disguise.

Or you're about to kill
the power to half the city.

That wouldn't be a first
for us, actually.

What was that?

Is the scroll in there?

I don't think so,

but you guys should come
see this.

Guys, I think they're coming!

The scroll
isn't here.

Vincent.

We have to go.

He left us at a fountain,
right?

Yeah.

Is there a park nearby?

Um, yeah,

there's one up the street,
I think. Why?

I know where the scroll is.

This is the fountain
where he left us.

And the scroll is here too?

No, I would've recognized it.

You haven't seen it
for like 15 years.

This is it.

Where he could keep an eye
on it.

I don't see anything.

Guys!

No! We may have to fight soon.

The water's cold.

All right. Fine, fine.

There's a panel at the bottom.

Hit it!

- Ungh!
- Hit it again!

- It's not gonna work...
- Again, Mark!

Ungh!

Ungh!

I never thought I would
actually see this.

- Run.
- What? No. You take it.

If we lose,
the scroll is theirs.

No, you take it. You're a way
better fighter than I am.

That's why I have to stay.
I can buy you more time.

No.

You're better at being on
the run anyway.

No, (slice) that, Wendy.
I told you, no!

It's okay.

I don't give a (slice)
about some stupid scroll.

You have to be the Guardian
now.

I'm not a Guardian,
I'm not even a real Kamijin,

- I'm nothing.
- You're my brother.

Please. I need you to do
this for me.

Remember that first day
we met at the house?

You mean the day
I kicked your ass?

I let you win.

Sure you did.

Best day of my life.

Come on!

I tried to save you.

Who's going to save you?

That blood will wear off.

Don't make me kill you.

Ungh!

What will you do now,
little girl?

What my brother would do...

make it up as I go.

Ahhhh!

Ahhh!

How disappointing.

Stop!

No...

Vincent!

What are you doing?

I'm not losing my whole
family over this stupid thing.

Take it! Just leave us alone!

This can't be the scroll.

It's blank.

- No, it can't...
- Unless...

You read the scroll!

I may have taken a peek.

The words vanished
as I read them.

And I don't understand
Japanese,

but I think it said
something about...

power overwhelming.

What have you done?

- Wendy...
- Get away from me.

Wendy, I had no choice!

Wendy!

Hey, man, whatcha watchin'?

I don't know.
Some house flipping thing.

Wanna watch something?

Nah, I got busy day today.

What you got?

Show-off.

I got Orientation,
Economics 101,

Japanese class, and training.

I still can't
picture you

going to community college, man.

I didn't write the old man's
will.

Hey, watch this.

Didn't you need that?

Uh, yeah, actually.
That was dumb.

Maybe I can put it back
together.

Having fun?

Wendy!

Are you okay?

I've been trying to call you
for weeks.

I'm fine.

Listen, I know this
isn't what you wanted.

What's done is done.

But you can't keep this power,

it's too much for anyone.

You know that, right?

So we have to undo it,

and I think I know how.

Great. How?

Just... um, don't freak out,
all right?

Why would we freak out?

- Whoa!
- It's okay, it's okay.

- She's with me!
- She's with you?

Why are you here?

We want the same thing now.

I find that very hard
to believe.

I will explain later.

We have a car waiting outside,
let's go.

Where are we going?

To Japan.
