I AM WAITING

Excuse me.

What are you doing here so late?

Why are you here?

I'm not sure.

Please leave me alone. - Don't be foolish.

Where do you live?

It's cold, isn't it? And you're soaked.

Come with me.

You don't have to worry.

Let's get you warmed up.

Then you can decide what you want to do.

The rain is cold at night.

Come in.

What are you doing?

Don't just stand there. Come over here.

This will warm you up.

Make yourself at home.

This is my restaurant.

No one else is here now.

What shall I cook for you?

But first, drink this.

How is it?

You'll feel warm in a bit.

Your clothes are wet. You can change in the other room.

I only have men's clothes, but that's better than being wet.

Want to take off your coat?

I can dry it in the kitchen.

Here you go.

Here's a towel.

What's wrong?

You look so tired.

Here. This will calm you down.

Maybe you're right.

I'm just exhausted.

What happened?

A lot of things.

I won't ask any more questions.

I didn't mean that.

- It's just that even if I tell you - - Yeah.

Even if you tell me, all I can do is get you more food.

Go ahead. Before it gets cold.

This is good.

Who are you?

I'm a canary

that's forgotten how to sing.

You're not just tired.

You're afraid of something.

Are you hiding from someone?

You can trust me.

I live here by myself.

Except for a cook who works here.

I'm leaving the country pretty soon.

- Leaving Japan? - Yeah.

As soon as I receive a letter from my brother in Brazil.

When I do, I'll close this place and be on my way.

To Brazil?

Yeah.

There's nothing here for me anymore.

I'll be long gone.

So you can tell me anything.

Talking about it might make you feel better.

But -

But it's too late now.

I may have killed someone.

Killed someone?

Yes.

I must have.

I must have killed him.

That's right.

I killed him.

But I got tired before I got scared.

Nothing in life is important to me.

You have a dream.

I have nothing.

Will you get me my coat?

Why?

It looks dry.

I'd better go.

Thank you for everything.

Are you going back out into the rain? Don't.

You can stay here tonight and figure things out tomorrow.

Besides, you don't know if the guy's really dead.

And if he is, it will be in tomorrow's paper.

You can decide what to do then. Okay?

You're welcome here.

You need a good night's sleep.

You said you were tired.

But -

You're here. You might as well rest here tonight.

Use the bed in the other room. I'll sleep here.

Okay? Come on.

Sleep well.

How are you feeling? You were sleeping like a baby.

Thank you for everything.

"Thank you for everything"? Know where you're going?

- I have to go now. - Wait.

How about breakfast?

No mention of a dead guy in the paper.

We can check the evening edition later.

I won't stop you, but where are you going?

You can't go back, can you?

You don't know if I'll be there to rescue you again.

That's my restaurant.

You can stay there until things are settled.

Hello there.

Is the coffee ready for Doctor Uchiyama?

Shoot. The morning rush is here.

She's a nice girl.

Where did you find her?

You've got good taste in women.

- Good to be young, huh? - Give me a break.

It's not like that.

I should go now.

Miss, what's your name again?

Saeko.

Miss Saeko. I see.

So?

Nothing in the paper, right?

Everything's fine. Stop worrying.

- Doctor? - Huh?

How long does it take for mail to be delivered to Brazil?

Three or four days, I think.

Depends on the destination.

It's a rural area.

- A rural area? - Yes.

It's a town called Porto Peria.

Oh. Your brother is there, right?

What's this mark? What does this mean?

Oh, today is the day. Time flies, doesn't it?

What is it?

It was a year ago today -

It's been a year since his brother left Japan.

He's supposed to let you know when he buys the farmland, right?

Well, I got tired of waiting and wrote three letters.

But I haven't heard from him.

Well, maybe he's become successful.

Maybe he'll show up here tomorrow to pick you up in person.

That would be great.

I can't wait.

You want to go there that bad, huh?

There's nothing here for me anymore.

I understand.

But you shouldn't let the past consume you.

You must forgive yourself and move on.

Brazil isn't exactly close.

I'll miss you, my friend.

Are you going to start fighting again?

No. I'll never fight again.

What happened?

Uh-oh.

You even made a mess of your clothes.

Here.

On September 1 st,

the lightweight championship match was held at Shiba Sports Center.

The rookie Taniguchi took the title away from Komatsu

in a seventh-round knockout.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

Where have you been? I was worried about you.

Move.

Move, I said.

Come on.

Who is that guy? What is he to you?

None of your business.

We've been looking for you.

My brother is mad.

I don't care.

You're still under contract.

All I agreed to do was sing. Nothing more.

I fell down the stairs. That's my story.

No one's going to care. Come on.

What are you doing? Leave me alone.

What are you doing?

- I'll scream. - You don't have to.

Hey. Leave her alone.

Who the hell are you?

- I'm her brother. - Liar.

- Then you tell me. - She works at my place.

- Your place? - What are you doing?

Just leave.

No. This doesn't concern you.

Get out of here. Beat it.

Stop. Don't play with that.

Reiko, come with me.

- Give me that. - Stay there.

- You won't shoot me. - I will.

- Give it to me. - Don't get any closer.

Shall we?

- Will you give this to the man behind us? - Sure.

The guy called you Reiko.

What's your real name?

It doesn't matter. I'll still call you Saeko.

I was scared.

It was awful.

I had fun.

It's been a long time since I took some time off.

It would have been a great day if that hadn't happened.

Don't think about it.

Forget about what happened.

Okay.

But I was thinking -

About what?

I'm so glad that I met you that night.

- It's better... - What?

It's better to be alive.

When I first moved here,

I'd just stand here by myself watching the sunset and the sunrise.

It was hard.

I never thought tomorrow would bring anything new.

I convinced myself of that.

ADDRESSEE UNKNOWN

"Addressee unknown"?

How come?

How can it be?

What is it?

This is the address of the guy my brother's buying property from.

It's the right address.

Damn. I don't understand.

- Where are you going? - To the post office.

It's closed. Wait till tomorrow.

You should try to contact that person again.

Will you bring me a pen and paper?

This is - This is my only dream.

The only dream I've got left.

INTERNATIONAL MAIL

Is this address too remote?

No, that's not it. There's no one there by that name.

Are you certain?

Not only one, but three letters were returned for the same reason.

Here's your change.

I feel sorry for him. I wonder why they were returned.

He was so upset it scared me.

He kept saying that was his only dream.

That's understandable.

It's hard to figure him out.

What do you mean? Are you interested?

I guess.

I'm interested in you, too.

About your life before you met Shimaki.

It's a funny place.

Everyone here has some kind of past.

Everyone used to be somebody else before they ended up here.

Shimaki did. You did. So did Mr. Ei here.

Ei used to be the head chef on a European liner.

But after seriously injuring himself in a car accident,

his life completely changed.

- How about you, Doctor? - Me?

I love to drink.

I've made mistakes because of alcohol.

But I've also survived this long because of it.

I feel invincible when I drink.

It's good for your soul to have one thing you can fall back on.

- Anything? One thing - - One thing you can rely on, yes.

Be it alcohol, money or love.

Unfortunately, I have no luck with the last two.

I wonder if you do.

I think you do.

Have you already found something?

Good, good.

On the other hand, he doesn't realize what he has in his own backyard.

You're wrong.

For him, it's going to Brazil.

That's his dream.

That's the only thing he lives for.

He's distant.

He's a Ionely person. Even more than me.

Doctor, what do you know about his past?

I know what happened.

But do you want to know?

Do you need to know?

Hey. Follow him.

Not everyone -

Almost no one remembers anymore.

It took me a while to realize who he was.

I had seen him fight twice.

I'm a big boxing fan.

He was great.

EMPIRE GLOVE CHAMPIONSHIP WELTERWEIGHT CLASS He was a great fighter.

JOJI SHIMAKI V. SHINOBU KIMURA He had an eye, a great punch and guts.

JOJI SHIMAKI V. SHIGEO HAJI He had all it takes to be a champ.

SHIMAKI MAKES TOP 10 LIST He was at the top of his game.

SHIMAKI'S DYNAMIC 5TH ROUND KNOCKOUT Then there was an incident.

- An incident? - Yeah.

He wasn't criminally charged.

But his boxing license was revoked.

What did he do?

He killed a man.

- He did? - He beat him to death.

The other guy started the fight.

Shimaki was too strong, though.

And that's it.

"That's it"?

Yeah. I, too, have killed a man. During an operation.

It was too late to operate. No doctor could have saved him.

But it felt like the years of drinking had finally caught up with me.

Shimaki blamed himself.

He convinced himself he was a murderer.

Damn you. I'll get you.

Hi there. A dog followed me all the way here.

Something wrong?

Nothing, but -

Next time, we'll shoo them away again.

But next time may not be that easy.

"Though I have waited almost a year for his arrival,

your brother, Mr. Kenichi Shimaki has not arrived here to this date.

He has not contacted me since he sent me a letter

to notify me of his travel schedule.

The 200 acres of farmland I was going to sell your brother

have not been cultivated and are still available.

If you're interested in the property,

I'd like to offer you the same terms promised to your brother.

I would appreciate your swift response."

I don't get it.

So then where's my brother?

Damn. Him, too?

He lied to me, too.

- Damn it! - You shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Be quiet.

This is none of your business.

Please leave me alone.

Damn it! What was I waiting for all this time?

Please go away!

Sorry.

Forgive me.

Please stay.

I'm sorry I got upset.

Don't give up on your dreams.

- Maybe in some other way - - Please.

This is my problem.

Is there...

Leave me alone.

You should know better. Like the night we met,

all I could do for you was dry your clothes

and pour you some cognac.

Talking about it won't solve anything.

Don't worry about me.

You didn't want to talk to me,

I don't want to talk either.

But now, I want to tell you everything.

I can share my pain with you.

If that will help, I'll tell you everything.

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't even think about it.

That won't change a thing.

You can't change me.

This is who I am.

You don't -

You won't let anyone help you?

I won't.

They've all let me down -

I'm sick of it. And now my brother has betrayed me.

Could you?

Yes.

Forget it.

You're a cynical person.

That's right.

Leave me alone.

Stop it!

Turn if off. Please turn it off.

What's wrong?

Fine, go ahead. Listen to it.

Listen to the song.

This was about a year ago.

That's me singing.

This is my past.

Understand.

I hope you understand.

I'm a canary that's forgotten how to sing.

You see? This is my past.

I was a canary.

But my voice is gone, and now I can only sing in cabarets.

My teacher gave up on me.

He gave up on me when my vocal cords were damaged by illness.

My instructor - - Stop.

You're only hurting yourself. - No. Let me finish.

He was my instructor and also my lover.

But he didn't feel the same way.

I was the only one who was in love.

Why are you leaving?

Leaving? I'm not going anywhere.

You're afraid.

Of what?

Afraid to find out that you are like me.

Really?

What do you know about me?

Even if that were true, why would that bother me?

Even if I were, what difference would it make?

You're just -

You're difficult and you isolate yourself.

That's right.

That's what I want. - Why?

Why can't you admit that we share something?

I can -

I can believe it now.

I can feel it.

You make it all sound so complicated.

So we should be in love because we're alike?

You're right.

I could have treated you like the rest.

But I didn't want to get close to you and then leave.

I don't know what it was.

I was hurt by other women.

Is there any difference between my feelings towards them

and your feelings towards your teacher?

I got tired of believing in people, and in myself.

- Even in yourself? - Yes.

You know what happened to me, right? The doctor told you, didn't he?

I killed a man.

I lost control,

and threw a punch with the intention to kill.

At that moment, I was not human.

I know you regret it.

That doesn't change anything.

I wanted to escape from myself.

I wanted to hide from those who abandoned me,

and escape to Brazil.

What do you think you'll find in Brazil?

Everything.

A new land. Cattle and horses,

who make much better companions than humans -

It won't work. You'll still be Ionely.

Fine by me.

You -

You don't know anything about how people,

or how women feel.

Saeko.

I do know. I have feelings, too.

But I still don't know why -

Why did I help you that night?

I can't explain it.

Even if we feel we're in love now,

we'll end up feeling empty inside.

We'll realize this was nothing special.

No. I don't believe that.

Believe what you want.

Sooner or later, you'll see that you're lying to yourself.

But I'm willing to lie again, to myself, for you.

Lie?

Yes. I'll convince myself that this time it's real.

But there's something else that I have to do.

My own brother lied to me.

Where is he?

Who have I been waiting for all this time?

I need to find out.

- Don't be so hard - - Don't worry.

I need to take it out on somebody with my own bare hands.

You're so distant.

I get a step closer to you, and you take a step back.

Are you the owner here?

- You're that dog from the other day. - What did you say?

Damn it.

Where's the woman? Where's Reiko?

That gun again?

Put it away. You don't even know how to use it.

Toshi, knock it off.

That's not for you to show off.

We didn't come here to deal with your jealousy.

He's my only brother. I apologize.

- What can I do for you? - Well -

I'm not here to accuse you of anything.

I want the girl back. The girl you've been caring for.

Six guys just for a girl?

Even the boss is here.

What if she doesn't want to?

It's not up to her.

She's the singer at my cabaret.

She disappeared when she still had two months on her contract.

I just want her back.

Didn't someone try to make her do more than sing?

Well, I do have some lowlifes around me.

But I understand you dealt with him.

I don't know who you think you are, but I own her for two more months.

What if you get back the money you paid her?

Are you going to pay?

First off, I haven't paid her yet.

This isn't about money.

It's about my reputation.

- As a jerk? - What was that?

She's free to do as she chooses.

Stop!

Please, don't get involved.

It isn't fair ganging up on one man like this.

All you want is me, right?

He has nothing to do with this.

Let go of him.

Here's a piece of advice.

Don't push it.

Try anything and you'll regret it.

You heard the woman. "Don't get involved."

That's right.

What difference do you think you can make?

Besides, that's money you saved up to go to Brazil.

Leave it.

What good would it do?

You should know better.

Let's go. I'll go back.

Saeko.

You really don't know anything about women.

Wait.

That's -

You want a go?

Let me see that -

Stop it.

Stop. Don't push me.

Just go.

Cut it out, guys.

You're no match for him.

We got what we came here for. Let's go.

I forget your name,

but I've seen you in the ring.

Never mind. I don't mean to be nosy.

I'm Shibata. I used to fight in the featherweight class.

Stop by if you feel like it.

Come on. We don't have all day.

That medal.

It can't be.

Hello. Can I come in?

What's going on?

Huh?

Why so down?

The night is still young.

Can I go get some of this?

Where did Saeko go?

She went home.

Where?

Where she came from.

That's not good.

It's your fault.

She might have been even more miserable than you.

If she had stuck around, she might have fallen in love with you.

You certainly didn't give her a chance while she was here.

I don't think so.

You feel a little guilty, don't you?

Well,

I have something more important to do.

Try to find yourself before trying to find your brother.

Find myself?

I already have. I'm in Brazil.

I just don't know where my brother is.

That day,

I should have left my practice match to see him off.

If I had, none of this would have happened.

I screwed up.

I can't let it go. I can't even work.

That's who I'm looking for.

He's -

What is it? - Nothing.

I think I've seen him somewhere.

Where? When did you see him? Try to remember.

I don't know.

I must be mistaken.

Must have been someone just like him.

All the drinking makes me forgetful, you know?

Must have been somebody else.

Here's what I found out.

About a year ago, July 5th, 1956 to be exact,

your brother did register for emigration.

But his name is not on the list of passengers.

That means he didn't get on board.

What?

Can you refer him to the Brazilian authorities?

Well, there's no point in doing that.

He definitely didn't get on the ship.

But you know what?

His luggage was on the ship and was returned to us.

It's still unclaimed.

Would you like to look at it? - Yes, please.

RURIKO CABARET ANDROMEDA

"Andromeda"? Do you know it?

It's a cabaret in Minami area.

Though the name has been changed to Chichukai.

The place is pretty sleazy.

The ship is lit up with many lights

The whistle blows in the sea breeze

The stars are blurred on the water

Just like a broken flower of love

Good evening, sir. This way, please.

- Beer, please. - Sure.

- Is there a woman named Ruriko here? - Ruriko?

Let's see. No, no one by that name.

- The one who's been here the longest. - Yes.

The water makes white birds turn blue

I see your face between the waves

It stays here in my heart

Now and forever

- Boss, that guy's here. - Okay.

The ship will arrive in three days. Are you in?

If not, I can't guarantee your life.

Go ahead. Tell the cops you've got a tip about a drug deal.

Do you remember Ruriko?

She worked here two years ago.

Ruriko?

Oh, Misao. She changed her name to Misao.

- Is she here now? - No. She quit a long time ago.

- Where is she now? - She opened her own bar.

It's called Sorrento, in Hinode area.

Ask anybody in the area. They'll know.

Thank you. You were a great help.

Waiter. - Yes?

- Will you bring the singer here? - Yes, sir.

- What the hell? - Hold on.

We don't harass peaceful customers here.

Do you still care about her?

Anything I can do for you?

Actually, yes, there is.

Just listen to me.

See the guy standing behind the column?

I need to see the medal attached to his knife.

It may hold the key to my brother's whereabouts.

I just want to look at it.

I'll steal it if I have to. I need to see it.

Please help me.

The medal is for the rookie boxer of the year.

I got one in 1955 for the welterweight class.

There aren't many of them.

Mine has my brother's and my initials inscribed in the back.

I want to know how he got that medal.

Is that all?

Yes.

Then please leave.

I don't want to sing with you in the audience.

I'll see what I can do about the medal.

Sorry about this morning. Thank you for coming.

- Is it okay that I'm here? - Of course. You're welcome here.

Keep an eye on Reiko.

- What do you want? - You can't leave here with him.

Fool. I won't do that.

- You own a knife, don't you? - Huh?

Can I borrow it? I need to open something.

Oh, no. You shouldn't peek into a girl's room

Do you remember this guy?

He was a regular at Andromeda about a year ago.

A year ago? That's a lifetime ago.

Try to remember. Please.

I only remember the nice ones.

Him? Maybe. Maybe not.

Please.

I found this in his pocket. This is your card, isn't it?

A year ago?

Who is he?

He went missing, right before he was to board a ship.

- A ship? - Yes. For South America.

Didn't anyone promise you an alligator bag or something?

- That's right. That's him. - You remember him?

Tetsu brought him in a couple of times.

Who is Tetsu? Where can I find him?

He's dead. He was killed.

He was working for Shibata over at Chichukai.

He was killed in a fight.

It was about six months ago.

He's dead, huh?

I can hear her crying

But I'm not the one to blame

It's you.

This is a surprise.

Here you go.

I knew it.

Looks like I was helpful.

Thank you.

Are you leaving?

What else can I do for you?

I left without telling them.

I should get back.

Hold on.

Who are you?

- Let me go. - Just walk.

Let go of me.

What are you doing?

How did you get this medal?

I'll break your arms if you lie to me. Tell me.

- Someone gave it to me. - Who?

Tetsu.

Tetsu? How did he get it?

- How should I know? - Tell me!

He was killed in a fight.

He's dead, huh?

He appeared out of nowhere, right?

- That bastard. If I see him again - - Don't even bother.

I just remembered.

He's Joji Shimaki, the welterweight rookie of the year from two years ago.

You guys are no match for him.

He killed a man in a bar fight.

You know what? Go find Take and bring him here.

Take? Why?

- Just do it, okay? - No one's heard from him lately.

Even the Kawakami guys asked us if we knew where he was.

I heard he's living it up.

- You've spoiled him. - Shut up and go find him.

Yes, sir.

Here's what I found.

It's a strange tale.

About Tetsu -

He was killed in December, 1956.

Three months earlier, which is about a year ago,

he killed someone in a bar fight.

A year ago?

Where? - In a cabaret called Andromeda.

- Was he arrested? - He turned himself in.

He claimed it was self-defense and was never indicted.

As far as we were concerned, the victim was a regular guy,

and Tetsu wasn't particularly strong, either.

We didn't find any evidence of a false confession on his part.

The witnesses' testimonies matched his story, too.

Would you like to see the pictures taken during the investigation?

Yes, please.

Here they are. The pictures are official records of the investigation.

My brother.

What? Your brother?

He's my brother.

Even so, that's not enough to reopen the case.

That's my brother in the picture.

Who killed Tetsu?

Takeda of the Kawakami family.

But it's the same story. Self-defense, no indictment.

Where can I find him?

You can try the sushi bar called Hirayuki in the Hanasaki area.

Okay. I appreciate it.

I'll try to find out as much as I can.

- Is Takeda here? - Who's Takeda?

Takeda? Takeda who?

- Of the Kawakami family. - Who are you?

- I want to ask him some questions. - You're a rookie cop, aren't you?

No.

He's not here. He must be cozy with Shibata again.

He doesn't come here anymore.

Thanks.

Do you know where he hangs out?

Try the pool hall called Jun.

BILLIARDS JUN

No, he hasn't been in here lately.

You didn't have to come here. All you had to do was call.

Didn't you send a guy earlier? - Earlier?

Yes. I thought he might be a cop. Guess I was right.

What did Take do? - What was he like?

Tall and good-Iooking.

All right. Thanks. Let's go.

- Is Takeda here? - Not now.

- Do you know where he hangs out? - Try the Mahjong parlor.

MAHJONG

- Is Takeda here? - Take?

I haven't seen him.

I heard he goes to Bar Keel to see his new favorite hostess.

Let's go.

Madame.

Where's Takeda?

Where's his favorite hostess?

I'd like to know that myself.

I don't care if they date, but she still works here.

She's late all the time. Like right now.

- What's her name? - Kumiko.

- Where does she live? - I don't think she's home.

- Then where is she? - I don't know.

I have a hunch, though.

- I'm listening. - Try Cherry Hill.

Great.

This way. That's the entrance.

Hello.

Is Takeda here? - I'm not sure.

Hey.

Can I help you?

You're hard to find. Come with us.

Sorry. I have to go.

- No, you don't. - I really do.

Stop lying. You're just taking her to work, aren't you?

- You'll have to go without him. - Go on.

- What do you want? - Come with us and you'll find out.

We never exchanged cups. You're not my boss.

- Damn you. - What the hell?

You'll regret this.

Oh, yeah? Don't be a fool.

Our boss is waiting. Just come with us.

Come on.

Welcome.

- Is Takeda here today? - No. Why?

"Why"?

- Some guys were looking for him earlier. - Madame, that's them.

What? What do you mean?

Mr. Takeda was taken off in a car.

How many were there? - About five.

- What did they look like? - They were all tall

and wearing leather coats.

I see.

You moron. You don't have to run.

Where is everybody?

Where did they take Takeda? Tell me.

I'm in a hurry. I want to know now.

Tell me where they are.

Okay, okay.

Where did they go?

Behind the abandoned warehouse by the canal.

Very good.

And just in case, you should sleep it off.

- It's you. - Uh-huh.

Thanks for helping me the other day.

I'm getting closer.

To finding your brother?

I found him, all right.

You did?

No wonder I never heard from him.

He was killed a year ago, before he left.

What?

Right now, I'm looking for the killer.

I have to go.

- What do you want? - You can shut your mouth.

You talk too much. Like a woman.

It's annoying.

Your voice, your face.

I never want to hear or see it again.

Bastard.

You lied to me.

100 PROOF

You know, this gets you drunk fast.

You're not a big drinker, are you?

Why don't you ever get stinking drunk?

So much so that you fall and crack your head.

That would be a tragedy. I bet your old lady would cry.

She'd wonder why you drank so much.

Go to hell.

Hold him.

Jerk.

Son of a bitch.

- Let him up. - Stand up.

Good, good.

- Do it, Ichiro. Give it to him. - Yeah.

Make it look like an accident.

You idiot. Not there. Do it again.

Boss, someone's coming.

- Come on, finish him off. - He looks dead to me.

Come on. One more time, to be sure.

Crap. Give me that.

Dump the body.

Make sure he lands on his stomach.

Hurry.

Doctor, help this man.

I'm so close to finding out who killed my brother.

Please. - Really?

Yes. And I finally understand -

why you never told me that you knew my brother.

Take his clothes off.

Doctor?

I think he's going to be okay.

- Where am I? - Don't worry.

Shibata doesn't know you're here.

Please.

There's one question I need you to answer.

Damn.

Please. I beg you.

You killed Tetsu, right?

No.

I didn't kill him.

Who did?

I was paid to take the fall for someone else.

Who did you do that for?

For Shibata.

He did it.

Why did you do it?

Shibata -

He said I wouldn't be indicted, because he'd buy off the witnesses.

I was paid to say I did it.

Then why -

Why did Shibata want Tetsu dead?

Don't make him talk so much.

It's okay.

I'll tell you everything.

Tetsu turned himself in for a murder Shibata had committed.

Just like me.

And like I did, he blackmailed Shibata.

Another murder?

Yeah.

The guy Tetsu brought to the club.

An easy target.

He killed the poor guy.

The guy Tetsu brought,

did you know the guy?

He was leaving for South America to become a farmer.

He was young, but he had a small fortune.

Shibata beat him to death.

Are you sure?

It's the truth.

Okay, then.

The ship is lit up with many lights

The whistle blows in the sea breeze

The stars are blurred on the water

Just like a broken flower of love

Reiko!

Keep singing.

Don't stop until I say so.

Keep drinking. We'll drink all night long.

What do you want?

The guy you killed and got this souvenir from was my brother.

What are you talking about?

I just heard everything from the guy you tried to kill.

What?

Takeda isn't dead.

I saved him.

He told me everything.

That you cheated my brother out of two million yen at dice.

He figured it out, so you killed him.

Tetsu didn't kill him. You did.

You must have given him your killer upper cut.

Tetsu ended up dead, too.

Takeda didn't do it.

It was you.

Get out of my way.

This is between me and him.

The police are on their way.

But before they get here,

there's something I have to do.

Stop it.

This is between him and me.

I'll beat you like you beat my brother.

Really?

I'm not like the guy that you beat to death.

Even better.

I killed him with my left arm.

I'll take you with my right.

Enough.

I'll kill whoever gets in my way.

You can't stop me.

Step back, guys.

You aren't a boxer.

You're just a thug. A killer.

Watch your mouth.

Get up.

- Come on, stand up. - Son of a bitch.

Come with me.

Go to hell.

You killed my brother.

You almost killed Takeda.

It was all you.

Admit it. Huh?

Say it.

Brother.

Brother.

I was waiting for you.

You and your toy again.

Not bad. You grazed me.

Give me that.

Give it to me.

This money -

It's my brother's.

Brother.

You fool.

At the end of the night

The stars fade away

One by one

Into the sky

Promises can be easily broken

The whistle sounds as if it's weeping for us

For the happiness we promise each other

I am waiting

THE END

I AM WAITING
