The Fight

 18 YEARS LATER

Father is still very fond of Brian and Brian Gold has also grown fond of his father where they have had a lot of memorable moments but when there’s good there is also bad. While he is enjoying everything with his father and the freedom he has. His other step siblings and stepmom hates him, and over the years we see his step brothers and sister get used by people except for him because he’s smart enough to know why people would approach him Brian looks down at his shoes, reminiscing about his parents over a piece of jewelry all those years ago.But then, he spits out the toothpick and continues to walk with the men behind towards the elevators to get to the high floor of the skyscraper. He gets to the elevator, and then we go back. FIVE HOURS AGO in a MOTEL ROOM

MATEO, in his 20s, with his legs upon the glass table smoking a CUBAN CIGAR surrounded by his own men and other gang members from a Japanese mafia---the American Yakuza of some sort. Mateo smirks at ICHIJO, the leader of the Yakuza, over a secret plan confidential between them. “So that's how it is. That's how we get rid of Brian? Your boys are going to have to kidnap his designated driver when we arrive at New York. Tie and gag that bastard in an alleyway somewhere, and then one of your boys gotta pretend to be the driver.If this plan goes haywire, we have two options.We keep somewhere, let my family presume he is dead or ran off somewhere, therefore they would think he was never interested in the family business.Or Plan B:I have you all slit his throat and dump his body in the Hudson, and what's done is done.But these plans have only one outcome: I get the inheritance...and you guys get paid.” Mateo said

Mateo now leans closer to face Ichijo with a smug smirk on his face with a cigar in hand.”Do we have a deal”?He said. Brian stands outside the entrance of the mansion waiting for his driver to get here on time. As he does, he looks up into the starry sky and hums a little tune to himself with his headphones in it. Snapping him from his daydream is his car, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and his driver now entering through the driveway, and with that Brian steps down the marble stairs and gets into the car, putting his feet on the seats as he doesn't care.

                 YUKO (Yakuza thug/Kidnapper):

Good evening, Mr. Soprano,  allow me to drive you to your family's reading today.

BRIAN (dejected, sighs):

It would be best if you didn't have to remind me, Asano. Dad's enemies, going to be coming after me and the rest of my blood. Damn, me talking about it makes me anxious, right now. Just drive me there as quick as you can, Asano

BRIAN (Anxious but excited):

Can't believe this day has finally come. Tell me this: Nineteen years of being caught up in this crazy family drama, and now the time to show, for it has finally come. Heh, the look on Mateo's face when he hears who Padre chooses. Just drive me there as quick as you can, Asano

YUKO:

Right away, sir.

Unbeknownst to YUKO, he doesn't realize that Brian now has his suspicions about him already. What he had forgotten what to hide was the tattoo on his right arm and on the back of his neck. Though not a member or a novice to the Yakuza, Brian knew that a tattoo symbol on the right was mostly associated with members of the Yakuza, who are considered to be low blood to the Soprano family. Secondly, his face was kept unshaven and gruffy. Brian knew that his driver was also kept clean to make him look professional despite the family he worked for and their dramas.

The Cullinan now drives away from the mansion, but as it does, Brian notices it's going in the opposite direction.

Now sticking to his suspicions, looks down at his watch and presses a button not commonly fond of watches----especially a Rolex. The button was one of many devices that connected to the car's autonomous systems, destabilizing manual control of the vehicle.

YUKO:

Sir, what's going o---?

Just as Yuko says that, he is stabbed through the neck from the backseat with a custom-made katana from a secret compartment from the car door.

BRIAN (cooly):

You guys really should have thought this through, you know?

As he slowly pulls out the katana from Yuko's now deceased body, he activates the car's computer system to his voice command.

BRIAN:

Adamo.

ADAMO (V.O.):

Yes, sir?

BRIAN:

Activate the car's security defenses.

Through the tinted windows, he notices a group of cars---definitely other Yakuza members that are part of this plan---approached the now parked Cullinan.

              BRIAN (full of bloodlust and rage):

We've got a pest problem.

ADAMO (V.O.):

Right away, sir.

And with that, Adamo, the computer system, activates the shielding systems and the turret guns----turning the once Rolls-Royce SUV into an effective BATMOBILE. Ichijo, at the head of the group, steps out of his car and notices

the car's transformation. And his men notice this too, almost all appearing perplexed and helpless. But snapping out of his perplexity, Ichijo turns towards his men and snaps them out of their trance, grabbing his pistol in the process. Ichijo is enraged however, the turrets begin to WHIRE and the group now know there can be no counterattack to this vehicle. At that moment, the turrets automatically fire, turning these once confident Yakuza members into nothing but just red mist, their car windows  completely shattered by the caliber of the guns. Those that survived the initial gunfire, now try to crawl away from the street now turning into a massacre and there is nothing one could do until they could call for reinforcements.
