Gang Related [Season 1 Episode 06]





Gang Related





Every villain has a noble cause, and every hero has a dark side.

In the gritty new action-drama GANG RELATED, Detective RYAN LOPEZ is a rising star

in Los Angeles' elite Gang Task Force.



What the world doesn't know is that long before Ryan became a cop,

he pledged allegiance to a different band of brothers - a powerful Latino gang called Los Angelicos.

When Ryan's best friend and police partner is senselessly killed by a notorious gang member,
Ryan teams up with longtime Task Force member CASSIUS GREEN,
who has been at the forefront of the city's war on organized crime.

In this war between law enforcement and gangs, the series explores how only people
who really know the streets can win the battle on the streets.
Despite his profession, Ryan is still beholden to the gang's leader, JAVIER ACOSTA,
the father figure Ryan has tried to make proud his entire life
and the man who masterminded his entry into the police force.

It's a secret that has been held for a decade by Ryan, Javier and Javier's sons:
cold-blooded gang lieutenant CARLOS; and Ryan's childhood best friend,
straight-laced investment banker DANIEL.

But Ryan is starting to realize that he is even more dedicated
to being a cop than he is to Los Angelicos.

He is respected by his team, including TAE KIM, VERONICA "VEE" DOTSEN
and Task Force leader SAM CHAPEL, Ryan's other surrogate father figure,
whose estranged daughter, JESSICA Hill, is the city's Assistant District Attorney.

Ryan's education comes from the streets, and that schooling will work to his advantage,
as he, Cassius and the rest of the police unit take aim at the city's most dangerous gangs.

While balancing two allegiances, two father figures and two families,
Ryan's increasing sense of loyalty to one will help him finally determine
which side of the law he is really on.

The Wind Rises




The Wind Rises  Movie Poster

The Wind Rises



In Japan 1918, Jiro Horikoshi, a young boy living in a provincial town,
dreams of being a fighter pilot, but his poor eyesight forbids it.
After he reads an aviation magazine, Jiro dreams he meets the famous
Italian aircraft designer Caproni, who tells him that building planes
is better than flying them.

Five years later, Jiro is traveling to Tokyo by train to study engineering.
He meets a young girl named Naoko traveling with her maid;
when the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 hits, Naoko's maid breaks her leg,
and Jiro carries her to Naoko's family. He leaves without giving his name.

Jiro begins work at aircraft manufacturer Mitsubishi, assigned to a fighter design team.
He is sent to Germany to carry out technical research
and obtain a production license for a Junkers aircraft.

He argues with German soldiers and witnesses a night raid by German secret police.
He dreams again of Caproni, who asks him:
"Do you prefer a world with pyramids, or with no pyramids?"
Even if humankind might put planes to ugly purposes,
Caproni believes that the world is better for their beauty.

In 1932, Jiro is promoted to chief designer for a fighter plane competition
sponsored by the Navy, which ends in failure.

Disappointed, Jiro visits a summer resort
where he meets Naoko again.
They are engaged soon after.
However, Naoko has tuberculosis,
and refuses to marry until she recovers.

A German visitor privately critical of the Nazi regime, Hans Castorp,
assists the romance before fleeing arrest by Japanese authorities.
Wanted in connection with Castorp, Jiro hides at his supervisor's home
while he works on a new Navy project.

Naoko recuperates in an alpine sanatorium, but cannot bear being apart from Jiro,
and returns to marry him; Jiro's hosts hold a traditional wedding.
Jiro's sister, a doctor, warns Jiro that his marriage to Naoko will end badly,
as tuberculosis is incurable.
Though Naoko's health deteriorates,
she and Jiro enjoy their time together.

Jiro leaves for the test flight of Jiro's prototype Mitsubishi A5M aircraft.
Sensing that she will soon die, Naoko secretly returns to the sanitorium
and leaves letters for her husband, family, and friends.
At the test site, Jiro is distracted from his success
by a gust of wind, sensing Naoko's death.

During Japan's involvement in World War II,
Jiro visits Caproni in another dream and tells him he regrets
that his aircraft were used for war.

Caproni comforts him, saying Jiro's dream
of building beautiful aircraft was nonetheless realized.
A group of Zeros fly past and their pilots salute Jiro.
Finally Naoko appears again, exhorting her husband to live his life to the fullest.
