Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

- Season 1

(2009)

Ein and Zwei go on a mission to assassinate a mob boss. In flashback, Zwei wakes up in a room, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As he begins to explore, he is confronted by Ein, who has been sent by Inferno to attempt to kill him so that they can gauge his abilities. Also, Claudia decides to view this exercise because she doesn't trust Scythe Master.

Zwei awakens and finds out from Ein that he has two choices: he can either join Inferno or die. While training with Ein, Zwei learns that he must shut off his emotions, but he wonders whether he has what it takes to kill. Later, Ein goes on a mission.

Zwei's training is put to the test when he is assigned to assassinate Inferno's arms dealer, an ex Navy SEAL who has become a liability.

Ein and Zwei are assigned to kill a Dallas mob boss named Don Lucio. Together they scout out the mall where Lucio will be shopping, and they wait for the right moment to move in for the kill. Also, Zwei worries that he is merely a slave being used by Inferno, and Ein worries that, by watching Zwei, she will see what she has become.

Wanting his company, Claudia summons Zwei to her home. There, she gives him his next mission: to monitor the wife and child of Tony Stone, a principled mob boss who won't give up his territory to Inferno. While Zwei carries out his mission, Claudia meets with Stone in a final attempt to reason with him.

Tony Stone plans his retaliation against Inferno. Meanwhile, Inferno plans a series of assassinations to wipe out the leaders of the mafia on the West Coast.

Claudia talks to Scythe Master about doing a clandestine mission to impress the leaders of Inferno. Behind Scythe Master's back, Claudia recruits the Godo family to be involved with the job in return for their backing. Scythe Master warns Ein not to let Claudia steal Zwei away from them. In flashback, Zwei is seen running from Ein after he witnesses her kill the reporter. Ein and Zwei talk about the nature of dreams and their own place in the world.

Wanting Zwei to follow her of his own free will, Claudia gives him back his past and gives him the choice to either return to it or to be by her side as she moves up the ladder within Inferno. Ein unwittingly helps Claudia make it appear that Scythe Master is a traitor by falling into her trap and assaulting Inferno's team during the drug trade.

Claudia basks in her success as Inferno plans to search for Ein and Zwei, who are now on the run; Ein tries to convince Zwei that it isn't worth it to protect her, and that he should go home and let her return to Scythe Master. Zwei tries to convince Ein that she is more than just Scythe Master's puppet and that she has a reason to live.

Zwei and the rest of Inferno go after Scythe Master, who is being protected by Ein and Colonel Roshenko, an arms dealer.

Flashbacks of previous episodes are shown as Zwei recovers from his wounds; Claudia thinks about her rise to the top and Lizzie apologizes for not being there for her during that time; Inferno plans to take over the east coast.

Claudia's drug deal ends before it begins when the buyers turn up murdered. Zwei visits the scene to look for clues, but instead finds young Cal, a girl who claims to know the party responsible for the massacre.

In the aftermath of the botched drug deal, Isaac questions why Zwei is compelled to shelter the only witness. To keep Cal safe, the Phantom digs a hole that may prove difficult to escape.

Claudia suspects an Inferno insider is responsible for the slain Yakuza and sets a trap to prove it. When the traitor takes the bait, Zwei is ready - but the Phantom freezes when he sees a ghost.

Above the city, Zwei scours the skyline for Isaac's sniper. When the bullets start flying, the Phantom discovers there are more assassins at work than he suspected - and one of them is supposed to be dead.

Claudia exposes Isaac's treachery to the Yakuza, but a bitter adversary from her past has orchestrated a plan to undo her gains. The deadly plot is in motion and Zwei could be the first to spring the trap.

Bodies stack up after Scythe reveals the deception perpetrated by Claudia and the Godo Family. Zwei's prepared for Inferno to come gunning for him - but he fears Cal's name is on the hit list too.

Ein is sent to kill Zwei, and she knows where to find him. With blades drawn, the Phantoms past and present prepare to die - but before the knife fight ends, each will find a reason to live.

Zwei thinks Ein is the only person who understands his pain, but there's another girl hurting just as much - and she's all alone in the violent world that the Phantom left behind.

Two years have passed since Ein and Zwei escaped their murderous masters, but it only takes one bullet to shatter the illusion of freedom. An old friend arrives with a reminder: nobody ever really gets away.

Drei could be the deadliest killer ever used by Inferno, but before she can truly take her place as Phantom, she must destroy Ein and Zwei. Fueled by hatred and pushed by Scythe, that's just what she intends to do.

Zwei and Ein must gamble with a friend's life to keep Drei at bay, but mafia politics might not be enough to keep the new Phantom from unleashing her murderous rage.

Zwei may be forced to give Drei the final showdown she craves when Mio's life is put on the line. With the clock ticking, both Ein and Inferno move to put an end to the Phantom's deadly game.

Three assassins - Zwei, Ein, and Drei - rush toward a final faceoff. Each knows bloodshed is inevitable, but none realize that their former master is sending a new batch of created killers to join the battle.

Zwei and Ein engage Scythe's squad of faceless assassins, but the first Phantom's true target is the man she called master. With a life of freedom on the line, Ein takes aim - and Eren squeezes the trigger.
