Original subtitles

Is there a problem?

No.

Your latest fabric has arrived.

It's lovely.

It suits you.

Your late husband...

was quite particular about your wardrobe, Miss Yuri.

TAKITA DRESSMAKERS

When will it be ready?

Within a week.

I look forward to it.

Miss Yuri.

Godspeed.

Kiyo... Who the hell are you?

What's going on?

Where is Kinya Hosomi?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Where did he go?

No sign of the son.

Do it.

No! Please!

Where is Kinya Hosomi?

Where is Kinya Hosomi?

Do it.

Shanghai!

The master has departed for Shanghai.

When?

About one hour ago.

Do it.

Find the son!

Hello, Counselor.

No customers yet?

Nothing.

Evening, Mr. Iwami.

Evening, Counselor.

Counselor Iwami!

Take me out to dinner sometime.

You got it.

The yakuza are pestering me. Do something.

I need your help, Counselor.

I understand. We'll talk soon, I promise.

Sure we will.

Good evening.

Welcome, Mr. Iwami.

A gift?

Nothing escapes your eyes, Kotoko. Here.

The latest confection by Usagiya in Ueno.

Ah, what a horrible tragedy.

CHICHIBU'S HOSOMI FAMILY MASSACRED

The culprit's suicide left his actions a mystery.

What is it?

This is fabulous.

Have one, Miss Naka.

Premium sweet bean paste.

Hurry and get ready, Kotoko.

All right.

So where is Miss Yuri?

With the Hiraoka Group's 5th boss.

My father finally passed away.

So you'll be succeeding him?

At a time when recovery is impossible.

And in all the confusion, anything goes.

Aren't you in need of a man, Miss Yuri?

In a dangerous world, there comes a time you don't know what to believe.

When it does...

please remember me.

I am...

a man you can trust.

If you need anything, come to me immediately.

Let's go.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

You'd better act fast, or you'll lose her.

It's now been a year...

since the earthquake.

I didn't know you were here, Mr. Iwami.

The papers you requested.

Thanks. I'm grateful for your speed.

My pleasure.

Miss Naka, I'm craving some cling pears. Can you make me some?

No.

I won't let you go to Chichibu.

I'm just taking a look.

Kunimatsu would never do this.

CHICHIBU'S HOSOMI FAMILY MASSACRED, SUSPECT KUNIMATSU COMMITS SUICIDE

Mr. Kunimatsu's favorite cling pears.

Voila.

Thanks.

Naka's cling pears are the best.

Sweet and delicious!

Have some, Miss Yuri.

Mr. Mizuno...

May we have a word?

A new development in the case.

Feeling better now?

Begin the search.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Good morning.

Hey, you!

Hold it!

You!

Stop!

Don't resist.

Somebody please help!

Quiet! Stay still!

Hey, what's wrong with you men? He's just a child--

Back off!

You're Shinta Hosomi, right?

Don't you move.

No stops until Ueno.

You! What have you done?

Hey, what're you doing?

Stop!

Jump.

Get up!

Show your hands!

The woman, too!

They're also Army.

These bastards...

These bastards... these bastards...

This gun...

Give it back.

How'd you get that?

My dad gave it to me.

I'm going the same way.

What's wrong with your leg?

Born this way.

Wait.

Where is Tokyo's Tamanoi?

Tamanoi?

My father told me to find Yuri Ozone of Tamanoi.

Yes.

Miss Yuri, where are you now?

Gyoda?

Yes, Mr. Iwami is here.

Put him on.

Hold on.

Iwami here.

I need a background on Kinya Hosomi.

The incident in the news?

I'm with Kinya Hosomi's son.

His son?

How so?

The whole family's dead.

I don't know.

But the Army's after the boy.

Well, that sounds a bit fishy.

And find out the alleged killer Kunimatsu's ties to Hosomi.

I'll look into it.

Give me that book.

We're to find a lost kid.

Army's not what it used to be.

Is it you?

Or you? You look like him.

- Watch it. - Sorry.

Stop!

Hold him!

- Stop resisting! - Keep walking!

Don't resist!

Are you Shinta Hosomi?

You've got something of your father's!

Answer me!

Answer me!

Report this to the captain.

Yes, sir!

I didn't kill them. They'll all survive.

Who the hell are you?

The lady you seek.

Yuri Ozone.

Did your father tell you why he named me?

No, he didn't.

Shinta Hosomi's fleeing by truck with a woman.

The woman is armed and has shot several soldiers.

Report to Captain Ozawa and await further orders.

We need to dispose of this matter quickly.

The Army stands to lose much otherwise.

This is why you were chosen, isn't it?

Do you understand, Tsuyama?

Yes, sir.

You fought valiantly with partisans in Siberia.

So how is it that one woman could be giving you so much trouble?

I am sorry, sir.

Could it be that your loyalty to me is somewhat wanting?

No, sir.

Then bring me the papers Hosomi had...

and his bratty kid.

Yes, sir.

Without fail, sir.

Block all roads from Gyoda to Tokyo.

Sir!

Get out.

We're not going by car?

They'll be inspecting all roads.

More walking...

What was your dad's work?

I don't know.

How'd he know Kunimatsu?

That too.

My dad was rarely home.

Show me what you have.

1917, STOCK EXCHANGE, OIL AND STEEL

And his instructions?

I honestly know nothing.

ENGLAND ACCOUNTS: 3,812,878 YEN, 1,416,187 YEN

HOLLAND ACCOUNT: 4,129,889 YEN

Ageo Highway is sealed off.

Roger.

Checkpoints to Urawa set up.

All true roads are blocked.

The two are likely hiding in the woods.

Get me a map.

Sir.

Wait here for a bit.

Okay.

Good boy.

What're you doing? How'd you get in?

Answer me.

How'd you get in here?

Speak up or else.

Who are you?

I work here. I'm doing the night shift.

Please... don't kill me.

I've stopped killing people.

Sorry, but you're coming with us.

They found us!

We'll be caught!

Show your faces or be fired upon!

Why's he here?

All of you stand up!

That voice.

Show your hands!

The documents.

In exchange for a guarantee of safety.

If not, I'll dump them here.

Traitor!

I will not hand these over.

I promised my dad.

Then shoot me.

Done fighting amongst yourselves?

8...

7...

6...

5...

4...

3...

2...

Turn the rudder!

Pursue! Fire!

Was that...

your doing?

What're you...?

Don't move.

When pointing a gun at someone...

don't forget to remove the safety.

Drop the gun.

Now the documents.

Strapped to your waist, right? Don't lie to me.

We'll make a trade.

But if you try anything...

I will shoot him.

Do as he says.

Thanks.

Now.

What to do with you?

Yuri Ozone.

Don't answer that.

So who the heck are you?

I'm honored to meet my famous hero, Ozone.

I'd have preferred a shootout.

You're from Shidehara?

Why're you aiding the Army?

What Army?

I think you're mistaken.

I'm hardly a tool of the Army.

Until next time.

He's gone.

But...

She's an ex-bandit, so eat up or she'll kill you.

I'm kidding. She won't kill you.

Miss Yuri.

Come in.

I'm glad you're safe.

The boy downstairs?

That's right.

Learn anything?

An Army accounts log had an entry for Hosomi.

Seems he was an investor.

People in the know say he was some kind of financial whiz.

His tie to Kunimatsu?

Not sure yet.

You're acquainted with ex-Army Lieutenant General Masunaga?

Ah, Massy, yes. He would often drop by incognito.

But not in a while.

I saw him this morning.

I went to ask about Hosomi and got a surprise.

Wait here.

Thanks.

Sorry to have intruded!

That old man babbles.

Yes.

Hey, Iwami! Long time, no see.

Nice to see you, Captain Yamamoto.

Captain Isoroku Yamamoto.

My senior alumnus from Navy school days.

Why would he pay a visit to Massy?

He was looking into Hosomi as well.

Isoroku asked the same thing.

Captain Yamamoto?

To think he'd come to me, an ex-Army man...

begging for information.

Has he no pride?

So I spat on him.

Wait, come to think of it...

You're ex-Navy, too.

I hear you're now acting as an advisor to folks in Tamanoi.

Yes, that's right.

And you wish to know about Kinya Hosomi?

Yes.

What sort of person was he?

Who knows? Nobody's ever met him.

Nobody?

Then what was he collaborating with the Army over?

Ways for the Army to raise money on its own amid a shriveling budget.

They turned to Hosomi as an investor.

He began the resale of weapons at high prices.

He used earnings to illegally manipulate stock prices on various exchanges.

Hosomi slowly moved the cash to his private account and absconded.

He stole it?

And hid it all in a Shanghai bank...

inside a "vanishing" contract where it can't be pulled out.

"Vanishing"?

A special contract that is renewed biannually.

If it is not renewed, the money goes to the bank.

In other words, it vanishes.

Precisely.

About how much money did Hosomi take?

160 million yen.

Incredible, right? One-tenth the national budget.

You're joking.

Just one investor?

When is the money due to "vanish"?

In ten days.

No wonder the Army's in a panic.

And the Navy's sniffed it out, too.

If that much money falls to the Army...

it'll be used for war again.

Where's your mom?

Gone. She left home a long time ago.

Then that's the same as me.

How old are you?

Nineteen.

But really, I'm 17.

Where were you born?

What?

Sorry, I'm not making fun of you. You just sound like my customers.

You look like a child.

But I guess you're like any man.

By the way, Miss Yuri...

Was there anything about "vanishing" in those documents?

Just stock and bank deposit amounts.

The wind chime seller!

According to Masunaga...

Hosomi's account can only be withdrawn...

using his son's fingerprint and a passcode.

Hello!

Got a beauty for you.

Could he be hiding something?

How cute!

GERMANY ACCOUNTS: 1,998,710, 2,891,014 YEN

Miss Yuri! They came and took him away!

What? Where?

Yes?

Thanks for the other night.

Only Miss Yuri could come so quickly.

Why is it you folks?

Don't be flippant.

Answer me.

Please, Miss Yuri. Let's take it easy.

You know the Army has a bounty on you.

I don't know what happened, but they seem desperate.

The earthquake hurt us, too.

We're a bit strapped for cash.

But just handing the kid over doesn't seem interesting.

And so?

Miss Yuri.

I'm open to offers...

for returning this kid to you.

Like what?

Very well.

Let's go with that.

Yes, siree!

Please hand that nice boy over to Miss Yuri.

- But Boss! - You sure?

Don't defy me! I'll kill ya!

It's fine. It's okay.

Yes, Boss.

Be gentle now. Untie those ropes gently, you hear?

I was so worried!

Sorry.

Listen, Shinta.

We're caught in something worse than you think.

Please be more prudent next time.

I will.

Do you mind telling me what scheme Hiraoka put you up to back there?

Are you sure?

No, forget that.

Spread out!

Mr. Iwami, take everyone to my room.

Yes. Follow me upstairs.

Shinta Hosomi, we know you are in there!

Come out quietly!

My, what a lot of you.

The documents were taken.

What business is there?

We want the kid.

If I refuse?

Refuse?

You're a former Shidehara assassin, which makes you a criminal.

We have grounds to arrest you.

Hand over the kid, and surrender yourself!

Why'd you shoot?

Sorry. Just happened.

Fire!

Fire!

Miss Yuri.

Where'd you buy that?

In Asakusa.

Easier than buying a shamisen.

Kill that woman! Go!

Let's go!

Miss Naka, how many are left?

17.

16.

15.

14.

13.

12.

Damn it!

Look!

Come!

Please stop!

Miss Yuri, a baby!

Mr. Iwami!

- All right? - Yes.

Fall back. Fall back!

Fall back!

Fall back!

Fall back!

Miss Yuri.

Miss Yuri.

IWAMI LAW OFFICE

I'm incising.

Hang tough, Miss Yuri.

Excising now.

Got it out.

Shinta.

We need whatever's left.

What?

You may still be holding onto something with the passcode.

Here.

"Hei-3-Ha... Otsu-5-Ha"?

Ternary conversion characters?

Is it a code?

We used it in the Navy.

Can you read it?

I can try.

If only you and your sorry ass...

had taken Hosomi and the kid...

none of this would've happened!

Hand me your gun, quickly!

Only ten days left.

If you fail again...

you die by your own hand.

Sir.

You appear to be in some pain.

I've got it.

It's not a passcode to the account, but an address.

An address?

Excuse me.

A temple.

If we go there, we'll find the passcode?

I suspect, but even if we do...

it won't get us to Shanghai.

The contract expires in nine days.

If we can hold out that long, the chase ends.

But...

Either way, there's really no way forward.

Miss Yuri.

Let's go anyway.

The Army and Navy hate each other's guts.

Both forces are starved for funds.

But there is Captain Yamamoto.

Shinta, all you have to do is hold Miss Yuri's hand tightly.

Understood?

I'll go talk to Yamamoto. See you at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Does your wound hurt?

What is it?

You want to die, right?

I can grant your wish.

Miss Yuri! What's wrong?

You've stuck your neck too far in national security issues.

We need you to stay with us until all this blows over.

You're the Home Ministry?

Have we met somewhere before?

I counted the number of turns.

We rode for about 30 minutes. Your office burned down.

So this is the temporary HQ?

I see. You're very perceptive.

Hence, a top lawyer.

Do you want money, too?

We just want to keep equilibrium between the Army and Navy.

But with no plan to mediate, then?

Counselor.

Why insert yourself so much in this?

Is it for Yuri Ozone?

You guys know about Miss Yuri, too, huh?

I won't underestimate an ex-naval officer.

So I'll tell you she was once my subordinate.

That said, it was someone else who was giving her orders.

What're you thinking?

About stargazing with someone.

The night sky over Taiwan was beautiful.

What sort of person?

He believed in dressing right for battle.

He always had me gorgeously attired.

Strange person.

I agree.

But...

thanks to my meeting him...

I learned how to trust people.

I'd like to meet him.

He's dead.

Kanzo Mizuno?

That's the name of the only man Ozone ever loved.

He built the Shidehara Agency in Taiwan...

to train spies with special battle skills.

Ozone was Shidehara's star pupil.

But the organization grew large, and internal fissures arose.

Then one day...

while Mizuno was away, their secret hideout was attacked.

Koh!

After repeated attacks by that faction...

Ozone eventually lost the child she'd had with Mizuno.

She quit being a spy soon afterwards

and returned to Japan with Kunimatsu.

Instead of using intelligence or the military for political strength,

Mizuno turned to ruling from the shadows economically.

But then he suddenly died of illness

and never saw his ambition fulfilled.

At least not outwardly.

Not outwardly?

Since we'll be here a while,

I'll tell you something in confidence.

The secret behind Kanzo Mizuno.

Today marks a year since the quake.

A minute of silence?

He's here!

Something happen?

Soon after I left you, I was kidnapped by the Home Ministry.

But it turned out to be a learning experience.

Forgive me, but do you have any personal identification?

Would a family photo do?

Thank you.

This here is your mother.

576, YOSHINO MIYAKAWA

As predicted, the passcode was inside the urn.

Mr. Iwami.

Did you know?

That Mizuno was Kinya Hosomi?

The Home Ministry told me.

He was...

deeply grieved at the loss of your child...

saying the time for killing each other was over.

No, it is still continuing!

Why me?

Why send the boy to me?

How selfish of him...

Mizuno wasn't dead.

For a larger objective...

he faked his death and chose to become Hosomi.

He wanted to avoid war and instead grow the country economically.

And he planned to do it alone.

A remarkable man.

Mr. Kunimatsu.

What's wrong?

Some strange men...

came into our house.

Poor Kiyo and everyone!

Dad? Why're you here?

We thought you left.

The Army's at the station.

They'll have people here eventually.

The key.

I'll stall them. You two run.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Dad?

What's going on?

Dad!

Say something.

Listen closely, son.

Don't give this to anyone.

Go to Tamanoi in Tokyo.

Tamanoi?

Go to Yuri Ozone's place there.

Take this, too.

But why?

First, unlock the safety device.

Aim and don't hesitate.

I can't!

Go now.

Pardon!

Go, son!

Who's there?

We'd like to ask you a few questions.

We're hunting down a criminal.

Why come here?

We're searching the area.

Lots of crime since the quake.

Then go to the police.

I can't trust people not from around here.

Rupa!

Quiet.

Is that Hosomi?

I'll cover you. Run!

Fire!

Don't flinch!

Move in! Go!

Go!

You must go!

Drop the gun.

You can't win.

What is it you dogs of the state dream of, I wonder?

Maybe it's time you woke up.

What do you believe we can achieve?

A country short on funds and resources.

Do you really think we can invade our neighbors?

At this rate, Japan will destroy itself.

What are you saying?

You're the one who's dreaming.

We'll see.

He didn't want to involve you... really.

He wanted you to live peacefully, without your gun.

But he had only you to trust.

Only you could protect his son...

in whom he entrusted Japan's future.

Got a cigarette?

Was that his dying wish?

That I should protect the boy?

Why were you crying?

Let me see the Beretta your father gave you.

Hold it.

Feet shoulder-width apart.

Bend your elbows.

Take aim.

Fire.

Aim and don't hesitate.

Fire.

Again.

Your father put his own life on the line

to make a peaceful country without war.

That is why you have to live.

To carry your dad's wish to the future.

I will.

May I assume you will accept the proposal?

I accept.

Then a 50-50 split between you.

Any objections?

Yes, the Navy should have it all.

Well, the Army will never stand for that.

They won't stand for anything we do.

Iwami, this is for a greater cause.

Greater cause?

Sir, with all due respect, I am no longer one of yours.

What's your greater cause?

It's not your concern.

Good evening and welcome. This way.

It's time.

My name is Shinta Hosomi, 2725.

Please hold.

Yes.

Ensign.

Captain.

The Navy's using code 2725.

Yuri Ozone?

Hello, I am Captain Isoroku Yamamoto.

Hello.

After talks with Iwami, we have decided to protect you.

But that means losing everything your father left. Is that okay?

Will you be protecting only me?

No, that includes Miss Ozone.

Then yes, I accept.

Put her on, please.

Please come to the Navy Department by 9 a.m. tomorrow.

We're on our own to make it there alive?

That's right.

I assume you know the protection is just for him.

Captain, that wasn't our deal.

Don't worry. She knows.

Why did you quit the Navy?

Too many contradictions in war.

But the one thing I did learn...

was there was no justice in it.

Halt!

What's going on? Let us through!

Conducting special drills. Please turn around.

That's news to me!

Turn around!

I approve the order for all Army personnel to fire.

You will at all costs detain Shinta Hosomi

and acquire the passcode!

Damn it.

Damn that Yamamoto...

and his interference.

You should stay here. Your life may be in danger.

Status?

Not even a rat can get through.

No.

That woman is sure to come.

Go!

Idiots! Give me that. I'll go!

Miss Yuri!

Do it, punk!

Your dad was a coward.

He dumped everything on you and ran.

No!

Then he was just a petty thief.

You can't defend this country without the military.

Your father was wrong about everything!

So shoot if you have the guts.

Coward.

Miss Yuri.

It's best...

this way.

Where'd they go?

Damn! Over here.

Thank you.

I just finished moments ago.

May I present it?

Please do.

Garibaldi biscuit.

Whisky bonbons.

Shunpudo marron glace.

All desserts my dad loved.

He had an incredible sweet tooth.

You know my father?

Thanks for waiting.

It's lovely.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Thank you.

You wear it well.

It's fog.

Very quiet.

Shinta.

Let's go eat your dad's favorite sweets sometime.

Yeah.

Godspeed.

Get down.

Stop! Friendly fire!

Captain.

May I borrow your gun?

You previously said war shouldn't be waged.

That was your advice.

Yes.

So why go now?

I don't know.

Except that...

I wish to protect.

That's my honest feeling.

You didn't tell us.

So we came.

But Miss Naka, Kotoko.

Miss Yuri.

You and I are pledged together to death.

Let us draw out the enemy from here.

Kotoko.

Don't die.

Okay.

Let's get started.

There!

Stay there.

Okay.

Why not stop the charade?

You just want to fight me, don't you?

You're a captive of death already, aren't you?

You failed to die, and now you wander.

No, I made the choice to live.

The Navy Department's far.

Fire!

Down!

Don't you see?

The odds are insuperable.

Surrender!

Mr. Iwami!

Fire!

Run!

Miss Yuri!

Miss Yuri.

Shinta.

You're very reckless.

You think so?

Are you okay, Miss Yuri?

I'm fine.

Give me your gun.

Let's go.

Miss Yuri!

Miss Yuri!

Miss Yuri, that's enough.

I'll cover you.

Now go.

Miss Yuri.

You must live.

Run!

Run!

Run!

Enough. Kill him!

Halt!

Does the Army point arms at the Navy?

Withdraw.

What do you believe in?

Defending the country is our duty.

Fighting protects nothing.

How will you use the money?

Answer me.

I'll postpone the start of war for ten years.

Is that all?

In those ten years that war is averted, we'll find a way...

for the country to survive.

Don't forget.

I know where to find you.

No.

I want you to have it.

I acted alone in the Hibiya riots.

This will not cause inconvenience for Your Excellency, no.

I've already laid the groundwork.

Yes... yes... yes.

First, I shall go after the Home Ministry

that supervised Shidehara with impunity.

I'll lay the blame at their feet...

Captain Ozawa has accepted full blame for the operation's failure...

regrettably with his own life.

Good work.

I am...

a man you can trust.

Don't run!

Could you leave us for a moment?

Of course.

After that, I didn't have a chance to thank you directly.

But I'm truly grateful.

Miss Yuri, I...

Never mind that.

Here.

Well? How's Shunpudo's marron glace?

Tasty.

And you?

Sweeter than I thought.

I'm going to study hard and come back to Japan.

So please wait for me.

I promise to make good on my dad's promise and wishes.

See you soon.

Miss Yuri.

There's something I've long wanted to tell you.

Actually...

my feelings for you, Miss Yuri...

Shush.

Okay.

Miss Yuri.

Here it comes.
