Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins

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?

Dad?

Yeah. Yeah, sure you can help.

Is there a safe? At the cabin.

Why?

- You got valuables you trying to hide? - 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?

Dad, what's happening?

Do not move, no matter what happens.

You were almost hard to find.

Let's have it.

All of it.

Let's go in.

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.

Nol!

Run!

Kid's gone.

And the winner...

Snake eyes!

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 killed 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 killer.

That, Mr. snake eyes, is my offer.

I'm pretty good at finding people. Especially people who kill 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.

Hey.

Uh-oh.

Here comes fish boy.

Cover up! Cover up! Cover up!

Let me know when you get a new joke.

Hey. Easy, easy. They're just kids.

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

Take it easy.

He meant no disrespect. Right?

Yeah. Sure.

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

Boss.

Hey!

Fish boy.

What's going on?

Boss wants to talk to you.

Am I in trouble?

Someone is.

Leave the knife.

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.

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.

This is a mistake.

Everything we want in life comes at a price.

Now do it.

That's disappointing.

Kental.

Hey.

Mind?

Come on. Let's get out of here!

Let's go!

Now can we go?

This way!

- No, no, no. - Kental.

Tommy, get in the truck!

Anytime you're ready.

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

LAPD. Drop your weapons.

Don't move.

You all right?

Yeah.

Just peachy.

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 murderer.

I looked into your eyes, and I saw honor.

So why run guns 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 killed.

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 violence.

I didn't know till today it was kenta smuggling these guns 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.

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?
