Welcome, sir.

Hey, baby. You don't need to feel shy.

Just wanted to thank you for letting me enjoy your beautiful dance.

Thanks.

Richard Saxon, First Secretary of the Embassy.

You killed Amy this way, huh?

Don't try and tell me you don't know her.

And what if I did kill her?

You gonna tell the police?

You idiot! How could you let that happen?

Your sense of duty is too strong! The world isn't a pretty place.

How long have you been a cop? You idiot!

ZERO WOMAN: RED HANDCUFFS

Aha, I suddenly smelled a pig.

Pig?

Yeah. This woman.

So, she's a cop? This woman?

Yeah. It looks like she did something wrong and they locked her up with us.

But even so, it means she was a pig until now.

Besides, she almost screwed me over once before.

I've got a bone to pick with you, pig!

She always picks on the weak! Beat her up!

KANAGAWA PRISON

Nakahara, be serious, okay?

I don't ever wanna see you back here again, you hear?

Gimme another.

Ah! There he is!

Yahoo!

Ah, you haven't changed a bit!

We've missed you, you know?

- We were worried that something might've happened to you! Stupid ass.

But listen, this means we're all back together again.

My kid brother, Aki! What brings you here?

What's up?

His dad died, so he came to be with you. Right?

I see. So he kicked the bucket, eh?

Why do we have to break up?

When we're so in love?

I'll tell you father how much we love each other.

You think it will be pointless? Even if I ask him personally?

Yes.

I know my father best.

He'll do anything to get on the Prime Minister's good side.

- Hello. Hello! -

Aw, don't hold back on our account! Grab her like this! See? See?

Look, look, look, look!

Help me!

Let go!

You're too naive.

Don't you move.

Hey! Aki, it's your turn. Do it.

What're you standing there for? Come on and do her!

Don't tell me it's your first time?

You never stop surprising me. Just how old are you?

Pull yourself together, man. Come on.

Go! Go get her!

Over here!

Bastard!

You idiot! You didn't have to fucking kill him!

Any objections?

He saw our faces.

We couldn't let him live.

He's so weak!

Yo, Sis.

Oh, hi. You're out of jail already? When?

This morning.

I'm still a bit tired.

But you already got to work? You guys annoy me sometimes.

She's a good specimen.

That's for sure. So you'll let us have more days off, right? Right?

Maybe.

These days...

Business hasn't really been that good, you know.

What's wrong?

I think I recognize this girl.

I knew it! Look!

"Civil Government Next Term's Prime Minister Election Scheme?"

"Zengo Nagumo's daughter (Kyoko, age 22) and Prime Minister Omura's son (Naonobu, age 24) to be married next spring!!"

Hey!

METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT

So, even if I shell out the 30 million yen...

There's no assurance of my daughter's safe return?

Yes.

We think your daughter probably saw the faces of her kidnappers.

This means she knows too much.

If they get the money, they may not honor the deal and kill her.

Fine.

I'll leave it to you.

I only ask that you do everything in your power to bring her back alive.

Yes, Sir!

One more thing...

Her engagement will be broken if this comes to light.

Which means the matter should be kept in absolute secrecy.

So, we can't leak a word to the public.

Which then means...

We can't just capture and arrest the kidnappers,

We must kill them and destroy all evidence.

That's what it means.

Well...

As it's a request from the man who might become Prime Minister.

There's no way we can refuse.

Besides, if we do him a big favor now.

Our futures will be taken care of for good.

You should know who I am.

Good.

Then let's see if we can help each other.

I came here to ask you to do me a favor.

If you help me with this, in exchange,

I'll see that the murder you committed is forgiven, and I will make you a free woman.

If you want, I can even arrange it so that you can be a cop again.

What do you say? Do you want the job?

Before I give you an answer, I'd at least like to hear what you have in mind.

You're in no position to be choosey!

You know full well what your future holds otherwise.

What's so funny?

Your desperate use of fear tactics.

You really think that will work on me?

What do you mean "fear tactics"?

An on-duty detective kills a diplomat.

It could develop into a big problem.

To save their own necks, the cops will lash out desperately.

In other words, the ones who need to cover up their crimes

And save their reputations are you cops, not me.

I'm not sure if I want to become a guinea pig for such a group.

You have neither indicted me nor even made my arrest public.

OK, I'll explain.

It's a kidnapping.

The hostage must be brought back alive.

The kidnappers are to be killed in any way you wish.

Who is the hostage?

Kyoko Nagumo.

She's the daughter of Zengo Nagumo.

I see.

Now I'm beginning to get the picture...

Sounds like a dirty job for you.

Don't try anything funny!

Is that the money?

Wait a minute! Will she be returned safely?

Looks like you've got some strange friends with you. She's back at our headquarters.

Don't you dare look back.

Son of a bitch...

Move it!

Go! Do it now!

Hurry!

Why're you just standing there? Hurry up!

This way!

You got the money?

Uh...

I was chased by the cops.

She helped me escape.

Is that the money?

We've gotta talk... privately.

30 million yen should be peanuts to them.

Don't they value her life?

It couldn't be.

Then why?

By the way, what's up with the pussy you brought back?

What's wrong with her?

Could be a trap.

You're probably over-thinking it.

Naw, she's really fishy.

What happens if she is a cop?

Dumbass.

She can't be a cop.

That pussy put a knife to those cops without even flinching.

It might have been an act.

No one's that good an actor.

What the hell do you guys think?

I ain't too sure.

OK, wanna test her?

If you keep doubting her, see if she'll rescue you when you need it.

Damn bitch! You're a cop, ain't you?

Spit it out! Spit it out!

Spit it out, or I'll scratch out your eyes!

Spit it out! Spit it out!

Spit it out!

How's this?

That's enough, Sabu.

Shit! Hey!

Fucking idiot.

It doesn't seem like the cops are on to us.

Guess that pussy wasn't a spy after all.

Jackass! What would a dipshit like you know?

Shut up!

You don't believe me? You bastard!

That fucking bitch won't tell us nothing!

Hold it.

Leave it to me.

You can't always get results by beating someone to a pulp.

I'm the one who understands the female psyche the most.

I look forward to your results.

Lesbian tricks?

You poor thing.

That must have hurt.

Looks like...

You weren't able to get rid of your pig smell.

Why did you stay quiet?

What do you want?

A deal, of course.

One word from me and you're dead.

And also... And also,

You'll never be able to rescue our hostage.

So what?

They're gonna kill her after they get the money.

How much do you want?

Good question.

I'll settle for what they asked for. Only 30 million yen.

And also, of course, I'll let you slip by.

You surely know where the ransom money was hidden, don't you?

I see.

So where is your hostage right now?

In no place special. She's in the storage room downstairs.

You little bitch!

I don't need any helper.

So I can't just happily do business with you.

Since you've been so civil with me, I'll tell you why.

My assignment is to kill everyone involved.

Naturally, this also means you.

You're a cop after all?

Division four, three, two, one?

Those words are meaningless to me.

If you must label me, call me "Zero".

"Zero?"

Zero?

A cop...

Committed murder?

Say, do you think we'll really get our ransom?

Stupid ass!

Why would we give up?

We'll keep pushing them until they come begging us for mercy.

It's already dangerous enough.

We still don't know if we can trust her!

You bitch!

That bitch!

She killed our sis!

Anyone who suspects me...

Will meet the same fate.

Is this the woman? The one you're holding for 30 million?

How did you know that?

Before I killed her, your "Sis" told me everything.

From now on, I want you to answer to me.

What's so funny?

You didn't get the ransom, did you?

How'd you know that?

It's a given.

It's your own fault for asking for such a small amount.

You gave the impression you're a small time outfit.

I'd demand at least 100 million.

They didn't even pay the 30 million!

How the hell do you expect to get 100 million?

Daddy!

Nagumo...

How could you underestimate us like that?

Daddy, help me!

Did you hear that?

What should we do to her this time?

Unless we get the money, we'll kill her. Get it?

Now 100 million.

Not 30 million, mind you.

Get the money to us as soon as possible.

Hey!

Where's the money? You brought the money?

We're Mr. Nagumo's associates!

Let go! Jackass! Let go of me, jackass!

How impossible!

I don't even smoke! Why are there matches in my pocket?

There are six in the group.

One of which, apparently, was already killed.

She's a real pro.

And with one more gone, that leaves 4...

God damn it! So, she was a pig after all?

Cops can't murder.

Have mercy! Have mercy!

Mercy!

Have mercy!

Mr. Osaka, why aren't you busting them?

It's too dangerous now.

If we ambush them now, we'll put the hostage in danger.

Something's up. You don't think Noro would take the ransom money himself and split, do ya?

He's not that stupid.

If he did run off with the money, we'd expose him.

Before you jump to conclusions, why don't you just call Nagumo?

What?

Do you really think he'd run off with the money?

Do you think you'd be able to remain calm if you suddenly had 100 million?

Stupid bitch.

Nagumo, is that you?

Hey! Release my daughter.

I gave you the money you wanted, didn't I?

Do you hear me?

Madam!

Madam! Madam!

Madam, you have a customer!

That's strange. I know she's in there.

Madam!

How disappointing, I haven't been here in a while.

Do you think they were cops?

Yeah, they might've sent out some spies.

Oh, shit!

Don't you think Noro blew our cover?

You stupid ass!

Noro's not the type who would betray us.

Fine.

Guess I'll have to go out looking for him. You guys come, too.

All of us?

It's better to split up.

Inaba...

How do I know you won't go off by yourself and tell the cops about us?

What? You bastard!

Listen...

If anyone tells on us,

I'll fucking kill them.

Don't you have any respect for the group?!

Stop wasting your time beating him up!

If you think you're so hot, then control yourself!

Hey, calm down!

B- brother! Forgive me, please!

Hold her down! Do your job!

Aki! Aki!

Aki.

Aki.

I'm such an idiot, Aki.

Aki.

Sabu, we're going. Go get the car.

This is bad.

If we mess up, there could be an ugly battle.

You call for backup. I'll follow them.

Stay alert.

URINATION PROHIBITED

Meg, Jossie, what's the matter?

There was nothing!

Hey, stop it!

Cut that out!

Stop it!

30 million or 100 million...

Is just small change for 'em

They think they can keep making a fool of me?

This is more trouble than it's worth.

Stupid rich girls. I'll kill them all.

Then they'll have no choice but to give me my money!

Hey.

Did any of you blow our cover?

If you did, I'll fucking kill you!

Are you scared?

What did you say?

You think I'm scared?

You're trembling.

Though I guess I'm not surprised.

If you mix with the likes of a crazy guy who kills random people,

You'll probably be executed with him.

You bitch!

Just what are you trying to say?

I'm saying you shouldn't force yourself to do anything.

If you're scared, you should run away.

Well, I suppose now is your last chance to escape.

You bitch!

Don't come near me. I still don't trust you.

I'm running out of patience. Get him to talk.

What're you doing? Stop it!

Please, stop it.

Isn't that enough? Why do you have to be this extreme?

I tried to run away, but yeah, I'm part of that group.

And we dealt drugs and killed and fucked people all over the place!!

Is that all you have to say?

Wait, there's more!

They were talking about...

Killing her after we got the money.

But now that bastard looks like he wants to keep it all to himself.

He's going crazy with his knife!

He's getting away with anything he wants!

What more are you gonna do to me?

Rich daughter, my ass!

When we pulled her legs apart,

She'd pant and drool like a dog, enjoying every minute of it!

I understand.

If you say any more, it won't help you.

What do you think? I want your honest judgment.

I fear most of it is true.

Yes, also the part about the drugs.

We have little time left.

If we sent him to an overseas hospital, he might survive.

Perhaps we should use him while we still have him.

For starters,

let's use him to communicate with our woman inside.

And get your daughter back.

What about the people in the house?

They're the only family remaining after the Vietnam war.

And if any of them wind up in our custody, it will be pretty easy to make them talk.

I just met with your boss. He asked me to help them.

So...

I'll steal his knife and hold him down.

You take away Nakahara's gun.

This is just-

You were just with the cops. Right?!

Then they tortured you and made you their spy.

Isn't that true?!

Are the cops nearby?

Maybe they're somewhere outside right now, waiting for your signal?

No, I just...

If that's the way you're gonna be, you can be the first to die.

- Don't shoot! - Shut up!

I didn't have a choice!

That was the only way they'd let me out alive!

You were right!

This place is surrounded by cops!

So they told me to communicate what they want to this woman.

This woman?

That's right! She was with the cops all along! Just like I suspected!

The cops trapped and killed Noro.

Damn you all...

Making a fool of me.

Stupid bitch, trying to escape?

It couldn't be...

Did they kill my daughter?

She is still an important hostage.

But the people in the house will burn to death.

Shithead cops!

I know you're out there.

If you don't come out, I'll kill them.

This bitch-spy and this stupid rich girl.

If you value their lives at all, don't try anything funny!

Kyoko...

Kyoko!

Serves you right!

Don't mess around. Get in.

Don't interfere, bitch.

Keep still, damn you!

Get back! Move it!

God damn it!

Hey!

Hey!

- Stay together! - Hey!

What did they mean you had a spy woman-cop helping? Now we've lost a man.

It's because you don't trust us!

Shut up!!!

What the hell are you doing?

Hey! Hey!

Get hold of yourself, Ishihara.

I'll forgive this fuck up. We've got bigger problems now.

I can't bear to think of Kyoko as my daughter anymore.

My deepest apologies. Everything that was said was true.

Wait...

Now I suppose I can remove myself from that wedding scheme.

Only one path remains...

I've got to defend my political career.

It is my own personal problem.

In other words, I am the one to be damned.

In order to prevent a scandal,

Say that my daughter died in an accident.

Or perhaps by "illness".

I understand, sir. I'm sure you care-

I didn't ask your opinion.

After this,

We will erase all evidence of what happened.

Your job will be to erase every bit of evidence.

Naturally, this also means the woman spy you hired.

I understand, Sir. Leave it to me.

Don't waste any time.

Go.

That one.

Hurry. They're catching up. Can't we lose them?

It's useless. They're going too fast.

Stop!

Sabu, stop the car.

Try backing up.

Once again.

Stop. We're getting out.

My mother was a prostitute here.

I was born here.

This is my territory!

Damn it.

Come on.

Get out quick, or I'll kill you.

Hurry!

Watch out!

Damn it.

This way!

Get a move on!

They're all gone now.

Wake up! Wake up!

Help me...

You intended on killing me and the girl along with the gangsters, didn't you?

That was her father's wishes. Isn't that so?

Ambulance... ambulance...

It's already too late.

You sacrificed your life to finish the job.

I will grant you that. Perhaps you'll be rewarded in the next life.

Die!

How...

I want to die.

I want to die.

If you want to die, you can do so whenever you want.

But for now, you must be returned alive. That was my job.

Open it.

Your job is to retrieve their hostage alive.

You should then kill her kidnappers however you wish.

There she is!

Can you tell us the details of the incident?

What happened?

Is it true your father tried to kill you?

Is it true that the police murdered your kidnappers?

Get back! Get back! Leave her alone!

We'll give you a statement later. Make way!

Will you still get married?

Were all your kidnappers really killed?

Your father's political career has ended for sure with this scandal.

Hey! Don't ignore us.

Let us take some pictures!

"The city's lights must strain you"

"You must long for your mother's breast"

"Oh, you poor lost puppy"

"If you lose faith, it's all over"

"This world is filled with such sadness"

"It is difficult to keep walking towards the future"

"Someday, happiness will come to me"

"I believe this in my heart and live on"

THE END
