Craving vengeance Casey goes after the thugs: a journey which leads him to his friend Nakabara’s (Kosugi) dojo in Thailand and a quest deep into the drug baron ruled jungles of Burma. Having been thwarted of this plan, they break into Casey’s apartment one night ransacking the place and killing Namiko in the process. However, said necklace was also being eyed up by a couple of thugs who attempt to rob Casey of it. Life is pretty good: the dojo is doing well, Namiko is pregnant with their first child and Casey has just treated her to a new pendant/necklace.
