Revenge of the Ninja Page #3

-My pleasure.

-Hold it right there, guys.

-That my nephew?

-And his girlfriend. You wanna take a look?

What the hell for?

What's so goddamn important that

you and me gotta have a talk, lieutenant?

What's so important, a**hole...

is they're dead.

They've been drowned.

The coroner said it's gonna take

a jackhammer to get them apart.

-He was a good-looking kid.

-You talk to me, you son of a b*tch.

If somebody's muscling in,

I wanna know who the f*** it is!

-That's my bag of apples.

-And mine.

Bullshit! You guys celebrate downtown

every time one of us gets the clap.

What the f*** do you want from me?

I want a name, I want addresses.

I've got nothing.

Then you've got what I've got, sh*t!

That's Dave Hatcher,

the guy I told you about. He's the instructor.

Dave Hatcher, Lt. Dime.

I understand you wanna get involved.

-What's up?

-Come here. I wanna talk to you.

Take a look.

This is what's left of Caifano's brother.

His right leg.

The largest bone in the body,

and it's been cracked like a toothpick.

This is his chest.

The sternum has been shattered

in nine different places...

the clavicle has been cracked in two,

and the ribs have been crushed.

Jesus.

This is his head, what's left of it.

Now, Hatcher...

my question to you:

Is it possible for a man

to do this to another man?

Sure, driving a truck.

The coroner claims no weapon was used.

And yet the blows were struck

against the large bone...

at a precise 90-degree angle,

as if by a machine.

-Could you cause that kind of damage?

-No.

-lt requires special training from childhood.

-Do you know anyone that could?

There was Arou,

a group in Japan that were bone-breakers.

About 300 or 400 years ago.

I'm talking about Thursday at 11:00.

I don't know anybody that could have.

But I have a Japanese friend,

someone who's an expert on these things.

Bring him to me.

Come on, we've never seen anything

like this before.

We're up against the wall in this case.

I think it involves some ninja techniques,

like bone-breaking, blowguns.

You're an expert on that stuff.

Do it for me as a personal favor.

What the hell do you call

this damned thing?

It's called a star shuriken.

Ninja weapon.

Ninja, is that one

of those martial arts things?

The ninja's much more powerful.

They were warriors of ancient times.

You know, masters of assassination

in medieval Japan.

Are you trying to tell me there's ninjas...

running around there,

killing people in the 20th century? Come on.

Couldn't an athlete, a professional,

throw one of these things?

Why not?

He wouldn't have a master to teach him,

show him how to build the damn thing.

He couldn't hit a door with one of those.
