Original subtitles

Sugioka, what's up?

I want to introduce you to Ishihara.

Hey.

- I'm Sugioka. - Ishihara.

- Good to meet you. - Same here.

Sugioka was the paranoid one.

When Nobu-chin introduced us for the first time...

he must have had his knife hidden in a pocket.

THE SEASON FOR LOVE

Man, that girl was really something.

It was like a UFO sighting.

It was the coming of God.

When I saw her, I made three wishes. I couldn't help it.

We'd start partying in the evening on the second Saturday of each month.

We never really had a reason for the parties.

We were friends, but we had nothing in common.

Nobu-chin was an old high school friend.

I don't even remember how I met the others.

We got together aimlessly...

and waited for some kind of miracle.

The miracle occurred that day...

and it was over in the blink of an eye.

- The shower! - The shower!

She'll take a shower now.

Oh, yes, she will.

A hot, hot shower.

Oh, a hot one.

The shower is a miracle.

The shower is a miracle.

From the weird nozzle with a bunch of holes...

Those weird holes-

hot water spurts out!

Oh, yes, the spurting!

If that's not a miracle-

Nothing is!

It's impossible to forget

The one I've fallen in love with

Standing in a blue shirt

He was watching the sea

I was barefoot in the water

I put a boat of shells in

And I cried

I didn't know why

Didn't know why

True love

He's my one true love

It burned so hot

Turning the sky red

Until the day we die

He'd never leave me alone

That's what he told me

It was the season for love

Our parties were...

in a way, equivalent to a church mass.

And our gospel was...

the greatest hits of the Showa era.

KARAOKE TERROR

THE COMPLETE JAPANESE SHOWA SONGBOOK

- Hello. - Are you free?

No, I'm not free.

Did you quit your job again?

Let's go somewhere.

Like where?

How about asking Sugioka? He's just a student.

I don't know about him.

Hey, Nobu-chin.

What does Ishihara do?

He writes columns.

He wants to be an Internet columnist.

But he has no computer.

He practically lives in the library.

Nice and air-conditioned.

On one sleepless afternoon...

one little glitch was about to bring us to a huge turning point in life.

Like a metamorphosing insect, man would be transformed.

Hello.

How about a coffee? I'll get you a cake too.

What do you want, money? I'll call the police.

Why? I'm just trying to pick you up.

You don't think that ever happens to you, do you?

You're rude!

How did you manage to give up on yourself?

Can you teach me how to live without thinking about anything?

I'll sue you for slander.

But I'm not wrong.

Why are you crying?

Do you think you're won'th crying for?

Your ass says, "Fuck me."

- I'm going to scream. - But-

Per- Pervert!

SHOOTING STAR, ROAMING STAR

You don't have an umbrella, Seo? I can walk with you to the station.

You don't mind? That'd be great. Thank you.

- Miss Hemmi. - Yes?

How about a fuck?

Are you out of your mind?

I'm sorry. It's only a joke.

Strange.

What is?

When I seduce women with that direct approach...

usually six out of eight fall for it.

Some of them say they get wet Just hearing me say it.

Not all women are sluts.

But, Miss Hemmi, women your age-

You're rare.

Yanagi?

Is that you?

Yanagi! Yanagi!

Thank you very much for your support tonight.

Good evening.

Good night.

- Here's to you. - Here's to you.

She was a good woman.

Only the good ones die young.

She didn't die.

She was killed.

Well-

The ex-husband-

He looked kind of relieved.

The kid looked at her as if she was some kind of object.

She is an object now.

Hemmi, show respect to the dead.

It's the truth.

I saw her at her worst.

With her throat sliced, covered in blood...

and lying down in the mud and the rain with a pack of clams.

Stop it. Why are you bringing that up?

It's okay.

Tell us what you have on your mind.

I've been thinking.

Somebody must have really humiliated Yanagi.

How about a fuck?

Who did such a thing?

- Please. The killer. - Why?

He didn't just humiliate her.

He humiliated us, the Midoris!

He violated us all.

What in the world makes you say that?

How were we humiliated?

I think I know what Hemmi means.

What is it?

Because we're all divorced?

It's irrelevant.

Because we all like karaoke?

That's not it.

Because we're all named Midori?

That's not it either.

What else is there? That's all we have in common.

Because we are...

middle-aged women.

If you think it's gross, don't eat it.

No, I want to eat.

Guys...

I know you won't believe me-

PSYCHO KILLER AT LARGE Here.

PSYCHO KILLER AT LARGE

PSYCHO KILLER AT LARGE - What's this? - And this.

- What's this? - And this.

This is what sliced that middle-aged lady's throat open.

The actual murder weapon.

I'm going for the mushrooms.

Are you guys listening to me?

Let me hold it.

Hey! Don't point it this way.

For real?

You, a psycho killer?

I didn't think it was that funny.

Shooting star

Roaming star

Why don't you tell me

Where I'll sleep tonight

Tell me what to do

I never asked for

A life so disheartening

I cried and cried

I have no more tears

Whoever made me

A woman like this?

That's...

the first time we've all sung together.

It was.

So nice.

Look.

It was at the site.

I bet the killer dropped it.

So we may be able to track him down.

Then what do we do?

I recognize this pin.

You know I meet my son every week.

I always want to treat him to a nice meal,

but he doesn't care for it at all.

My ex-husband is a bad influence.

He should live with me, but I have to work, you know.

My son seems to understand.

- I'm sorry, but- - Yes?

What was your point, please?

Sorry.

And?

So my son-

He always gets three Wendy's Teriyaki Hamburgers

soaked in a pool of mayonnaise.

After that, we go to a stationary store, "Children's Castle."

And he plays a video game.

When you score 300,000 points,

that store gives you this pin.

He's the best.

HALL OF FAME

HALL OF FAME Osamu Sugioka, vocational school student.

Osamu...

TINK TIKI BLUES

- Don't go home. - Bye.

Come on, Sugioka!

Anybody home? Dad?

- Hello? - Hey...

- Is that him? - Sugioka?

- Shall we? - Let's.

He's kind of cute, isn't he?

I imagined he would be a creepy pervert.

Tomi's son has the same name as him.

Tomi said that she's sure this guy is the killer.

Does that mean her son's weird too?

Thanks.

The most important thing is that we attract no attention.

Sugioka's behavioral pattern shows that on his way home

he always stops at a dorm at Hanabira women's college.

This is a diagram of the area.

Anyway, he urinates in front of the dorm

instead of doing so at home.

Right.

It's on a narrow road by a potato field.

There's hardly any traffic or people around.

When he urinates there, all the girls have gone to class.

- That's right. - Right?

So that's an opportunity, isn't it?

It is.

Now, about how we should do this.

We should stick to a simple,

yet well thought-out plan.

The weapon should be something we're used to handling.

His weapon was a knife. We should use a knife too.

A blade for a blade. The Hammurabi Code.

We shouldn't get too close.

After all, he's a man. He could overpower us.

You know what?

We've never talked and listened to each other like this before.

All we did was sing karaoke.

Not even when we met for the first time.

I noticed that when you pay attention to what others say,

you actually understand them.

Then you realize that we're all different.

Look at you.

Does the sky look different from that day?

I love that poetic thing.

You really did it.

You really killed a person.

When I did it-

When I cut her throat open...

I heard "Tink Tiki Blues" in my head.

"Tink Tiki Blues"?

Sounded like it played right out of her throat.

That's when I understood the beauty of the song.

It's a truly fine blues.

It's sadness in the form of a happy song.

Just like what I did that day.

Look at the sad moon from this back alley

Tonight the drink is more bitter than ever

We're all strangers hitting the plates

You asked for it.

We've got the Tink Tiki blues

It's a sad, sad song that makes you cry

To Iwata! Cheers!

Tell me, Iwata.

Was Sugioka really in the middle of urinating?

Oh, Hemmi!

I told you many times already.

He'd just unzipped his fly...

when I speared him with the broom-knife.

Then the piss came spraying out.

You know what they say about a hung man?

They say he gets a huge hard-on when he gets hung.

Ew! Gross!

What a thing to say!

- His death is a loss to society. - Yeah.

Besides, if I'd looked at such a thing,

I couldn't have stabbed him in the carotid.

I didn't even bother to look at it...

because I was concentrating.

Concentration.

Sweet word!

I feel so accomplished.

You're so right.

Women our age don't usually have anything to concentrate on

unless they're religious

or unless they're in danger.

And we were in a dangerous situation.

Did I tell you?

- He has friends. - Friends?

He boasted to them about killing Yanagi at the murder site.

- Unforgivable! - Horrible man.

You know what's really horrible?

Now I understand...

why he wanted to boast.

We're all strangers hitting the plates

We've got the Tink Tiki blues

It's a sad, sad song that makes you cry

It's a beautiful song.

Sugioka...

He really understood what a beautiful song was.

It's a sad happy song.

It's such a hopeless song,

but it makes you want to live.

I don't know how to put this, but-

It feels sad...

like when you jerk off to a woman hosting a kids' show on TV.

Sugioka said he learned this song when his father beat him up.

You serious?

It's 11:00.

The victim was dead on arrival at the hospital.

Don't watch the news.

They won't catch the killer.

Right.

Nobody had caught Sugioka either.

Who do you think killed him?

I'll tell you who.

This woman's friends.

It was revenge!

He always smiled and greeted me.

He was such a sweet young man.

He often came here with flat tires.

He'd get a flat, but he'd still be smiling.

He had a lot of respect for things.

Anything you want to say to the killer?

To the killer? Well-

How could you? He was a sweet thing.

Gruesome carnage in a quiet suburb.

With no crucial evidence yet, the killer is unlikely to be caught.

I met Sugioka at the bookstore.

I was checking the computer books.

He started talking about Macintosh computers.

He was actually talking to himself, but I answered.

No urinating there.

Who are you?

I live in the dorm.

Somebody always urinates there.

Dogs urinate in the same spot every time.

Maybe such a thing is instinctive.

Restrain yourselves.

Hey.

You know there was a killing here? We're the victim's friends.

Oh, that?

A woman with dark glasses on a moped stabbed him with a knife on a stick.

I have a magazine to show you.

Here it is.

Yanagi, Iwata did it.

She got revenge on the killer.

This woman is the editor for this magazine.

MIDORI SUZUKI, 38 A few years ago, she gathered some middle-aged women together for an article.

HAPPINESS RESEARCH LAB A few years ago, she gathered some middle-aged women together for an article.

HAPPINESS RESEARCH LAB All of them have the same name and are divorced.

After the interview, they stayed friends.

And look here.

MIDORI YANAGIMOTO, 37 She's the one Sugioka killed.

MIDORI YANAGIMOTO, 37 That's her!

One of them must have killed him.

MIDORI HEMMI, 36

MIDORI TAKEUCHI, 33

MIDORI TOMIYAMA, 32

MIDORI IWATA, 31

MIDORI IWATA, 31 It's her! Iwata!

- Iwata! - It's her!

Midori Iwata.

Why did that weird girl give this to us?

It's creeping me out.

I don't know, but maybe she's psychic.

You're right.

Don't we have a right to get revenge?

They're murderers.

Murderers.

What about a weapon?

THE HILL WITH A HARBOR VIEW

Yano-rin?

Where do we buy it?

It's somewhere between Gunma and Saitama prefectures.

Hold on.

What was it?

Right. Hirota Silverware Store.

BOUND FOR TONEGAWA RIVER

- Thank you. - We're here!

- There's nothing around here. - Is this the border?

- Forgot something? - No. Are we in Gunma prefecture?

No, this is still Saitama. Gunma is over the river.

So there's a river on the border.

Look. Do we take that to cross over?

Yes, looks that way.

All right. What are we waiting for?

This is the one! We're here.

- What a place! - Unbelievable.

Since 1858?

Maybe the owner still wears a topknot.

- No way. - I guess not.

Do you think they have one?

There he is.

Excuse me?

You'll find the trivets behind there.

The scuttles are on the side.

What are trivets?

Trivets are what you must have when you have a barbecue.

Aren't you going to have a barbecue party?

No. Do you have a Tokarev?

Yeah. Why?

- You do? - Sure do.

We'd like one.

What do you want it for?

We must avenge our friend.

Avenge? Who? Why do you have to? Tell me.

He was killed by old women.

Not old, but middle-aged-

What type are they?

Are they penniless because their husbands have left them?

Or the type who don't make good hostesses because they're too old?

That's not it.

According to our investigation,

they're the kind who go to swimming clubs and karaoke.

They don't wear bargain clothes from local outlets.

They go to boutiques. Designer shops.

You mean the ones who sing fancy pop songs by Frank Nagai...

in pubs with chandeliers?

That's right. Frank Nagai.

Or Sachiko Nishida.

And Yuming too.

They're the kind who go to restaurants with huge windows...

and eat pasta with lots of mushrooms!

And risotto.

Onion gratin soup.

They eat Indonesian pilaf too.

Drop dead!

Stay right where you are.

With eight bullets, it's actually Y130,000, but...

I know you have a noble cause.

- So it's Y110,000. - Okay.

- Do we have enough? - We've got it.

- Do you sell these often? - Only to the right kind of people.

I like you boys.

People say that only cockroaches will survive when the Earth perishes.

That's a lie! It's middle-aged women.

- I didn't expect that. - Neither did I.

But it all worked out. We've got the gun.

I was scared, you know?

Yeah. Really.

- Hey, put it back! - Watch it!

- Don't play with that. - It's dangerous.

Shouldn't we see if it really works?

Yeah, right.

Let the country hear a gunshot!

What should I shoot at?

- How about a rabbit? - Where?

Look! Let's shoot that.

- Are you serious? - That's not a good idea.

It's okay. Give me the gun.

- Shoot! - No. It's not okay.

Don't fool around with it!

I've never fired a gun. No way I'll hit anything.

- Here I go. - Tell us when you fire, okay?

Just a minute.

Firing now.

Holy shit!

Awesome!

When you hold me I become a butterfly

Fluttering wings Burning with love

I cry tonight

Because I know I can't fly back to the sky

Love cost me my life

Love cost me my heart

I know I'll die

As a butterfly

When you hold me I become a butterfly

In the morning light I die

Like a moth I fly

Into the light of love and die

Who's next?

Me, me!

Here's the romantic one.

Change your partners.

He's mine!

The familiar pain in my heart

I'd forgotten it for so long

But when I saw you

It brought back the pain

Would you like to dance with me?

Me?

Come on.

Smooth move, Iwata.

Lovely scent. What is it?

That's a corny way to flatter an older woman.

That's not what I'm doing. I don't even like perfume.

- Why not? - A maternal trauma.

What happened?

She was a bar waitress.

- You should respect your mother. - Of course I do.

But I still didn't like perfume on her.

I see.

But I like this one on you. It's the first one I've ever liked.

What is it?

- It's called "Mitsouko." - Mitsouko.

- Save it, Suzuki. - Leave me alone.

I smell your perfume here too.

Right.

Don't tell me that I remind you of your mother.

Not at all.

I'm not as old as your mother.

One way or the other, I think age is irrelevant.

What do you mean?

It's a matter of compatibility.

Wait-

Magnetic pads?

When I saw you sing back there...

you seemed absolutely transcendent.

I was enchanted.

I wanted to lose myself with you, to leave everything behind.

But that was an illusion.

You're careless.

Careless people will never rise above the mundane.

What kind of dance was that?

What about you? Miss teen idol.

- I loved your dreamy face. - Shut up!

What a joke!

Watch it!

How many taxis do we need?

Iwata, what's wrong?

I'm going to walk home alone.

Good night, Iwata.

- What's up with her? - She's acting strange.

It was the hill where we came together

The hill with the harbor view

There was a blooming cherry tree

Faded and solitary

A boat whistled like the cry of a broken heart

The cherry petals snowed down one by one

We stood on the hill under the snowing blossoms

It was a spring afternoon

There are many ways to dispose of the gun.

When you hear "Tokarev," you think of the USSR...

but this Norinco T-54 is made in China.

So it should be called "Blackstar."

It was back in 1951 when they started mass-producing T-51 s.

This T-54 is a modified version of the T-51.

It's mechanically synonymous to the TT-33, one version of the Tokarev.

So it's almost valid to call it a "Tokarev," as you know.

When you fire this gun,

you have to fire it point blank like when I shot her.

Even gangsters are scared of how unreliable its trajectory is.

But its force is indeed deadly.

Yano-rin, I've been wondering.

Why didn't the woman scream and run from you?

I sang a song for her.

She started to cry when she heard me sing.

She really did.

Like Sugioka said before,

you free your soul when you sing and cry.

I guess that woman-

She must have been happy.

WOMAN SHOT TO DEATH I N TEMPLE

"An opportunistic crime."

"Possibly randomly chosen by a substance abuser."

"Motive unknown."

"The weapon has probably already been disposed of."

"Capture of the killer unlikely."

They missed an important fact.

What's that?

That there are only four of us now.

Four members left-

Only one thing comes to my mind.

- The Beatles. - Right!

What about before Iwata was killed?

- We were The Rolling Stones. - Right!

And before Yanagi was killed?

Are there any sextets?

- Hiroshi Uchiyamada & the Cool 5. - That's it!

Oh, so we're getting better than before.

But if it kept going on?

If there were three of us-

The Noisy Girls.

- If two- - Senri & Mari Unabara.

And one would be Harumi Miyako?

It's not funny.

I didn't live my life to end up murdered.

You're right.

- Give it to me. - Me too.

We've always known what we have to do.

Who's trying to turn us into Harumi Miyako?

Hey, guess what.

Looks like your friends retaliated.

I didn't help them.

I haven't decided if I'll help you or not.

What's she doing?

Talking to herself.

May I help you?

- No. - I don't think so.

I'm a student. I live over there.

Excuse me?

In the college dormitory.

I'm also an eyewitness in a murder case.

Eyewitness?

When a young man was killed right here,

I saw everything that happened.

I was very helpful in the police investigation.

I also met the friends of the victim.

Who are these friends?

Pardon?

What she means is-

We're representing the friends of the victim's mother.

The victim's mother is putting together...

a collection of memorial writings.

That's why we need to track his friends down.

There's Ishihara.

You don't happen to know his phone number, do you?

I do. He gave it to me.

What? Didn't I tell you?

I haven't decided if I'll help you or not.

RUSTY KNIFE

THE LAKESIDE INN

- Are we here? - Yes.

Looks great.

Let's eat!

- Wonderful! - Look at the color.

It's beef.

Delicious.

Three years ago, I came here with a lover.

My one and only affair.

- You had an affair? - Surprised?

- Well, yes. - Why?

I thought you were a career woman.

I have been married you know.

- And then you divorced. - You chose your career.

I guess so.

But the harder I worked,

the more isolated I became in the office.

What do you mean?

I could just feel it in the air.

Everyone thought my input to the company wasn't worth a divorce.

I know what you mean.

For men, it's okay to divorce and hang on to work.

I felt empty and lonely.

I stayed out drinking all night with this guy I met.

- And you came here? - Yes.

I was already divorced by then.

It's romantic near the water.

Sounds like the opinion of an expert.

- What do you mean? - Someone who likes them young.

- Who? - Never the same guy twice.

Is that true?

- Who told you? - Iwata did.

Did I tell her that?

She remembered well what people said.

I thought nobody really listened.

We just talked about ourselves.

Recently we've begun listening to each other.

Iwata said, "Hemmi is honest about her own desires."

- Did she say that? - She wasn't saying anything nasty.

She also said about herself that she had no sexual desire.

She said she couldn't see the value of being penetrated.

I wonder how she felt when the bullet entered her body.

Hey.

There's something missing here.

Beer!

Tomi, get some.

Can we have some beer?

Sure. It's about time.

Here's your beer.

Here you are.

What's that sound?

It's a military base. Near Mt. Fuji.

See? I told you.

I can't pedal anymore.

I'm exhausted.

Remember what we talked about last night?

What about it?

I'm not always honest about my desires.

- Don't worry about it. - I know, but-

There was a time when I thought something was wrong with me.

Maybe something's wrong with everybody.

- That ends the conversation. - You're right.

What was your problem, Hemmi?

When I was with my ex-husband, no matter what we were doing...

I was always thinking about irrelevant things.

Even in the middle of making love.

It really felt like I was getting more and more empty.

So I got a divorce.

But it was the same no matter who I was with.

I had never felt single-mindedly occupied by anything.

I'd never felt fulfilled.

None of us ever had.

That's right.

See? Something's wrong with everybody.

But not anymore.

Not now.

- No. - No.

It's so different now.

There's only one thing in my mind.

So who's this Mr. Sakaguchi? Whose friend is he?

My one and only lover's friend.

Did you meet him again?

I suddenly remembered that he works for a big courier service provider.

He has connections with Civilian Life Assistance.

What's that?

The Civilian Life Assistance Unit.

What it does is place retired military personnel in civilian jobs.

- So he has a military network. - That's right.

Good evening.

- Hello. - Hello.

It's you.

Mr. Sakaguchi?

Yes. Have a seat.

She looks just like Yanagi!

- She does! - You're right.

Good evening.

Thank you for meeting us tonight.

Sergeant Miyagi from the unit has briefed me.

The requested item is ready in the car.

But first, I need to explain things to you.

What would you like to drink?

What you're having.

So you want to explain how to use it?

I'll do that too.

Anything else?

I've been quite anxious to meet you ladies.

All of you have the same name, "Midori."

Yes. Does it bother you?

It goes quite far back.

I met a girl named "Midori" by the lake.

Now I meet four Midoris. It must be some kind of fate.

My Midori was...

a terrible liar.

She never told me that the best part of mackerel is the head.

She knew that I grew up in the mountains.

When one of my men retired from the service, I took care of him.

So he sent me a big, beautiful mackerel from home.

Must have been some mackerel.

It was.

We were discussing how the fish should be prepared.

Midori said, "The head's no good, is it?"

She took the head away.

That's terrible!

I was told later

that the head is the most delicious part of the fish.

That's true.

My men called her the mackerel thief.

That's not all.

All the lies she told me-

What else?

She said she was a stewardess, but she was a bus tour guide.

She sang too well. I was always suspicious.

She often told me what a great singer I was.

But that must have been a lie too.

I never sang again.

What a cold-blooded woman.

Awful.

You're good people. You've listened to my story.

It's the least we can do.

There's one more thing I want you to listen to.

What is it?

Can I sing a song for you?

Certainly!

I dug up a mound of sand

With my fingers

I found a rusted knife

A jackknife in the sand

Who buried it?

When was it buried?

It stabbed me in the heart

One autumn day on an island

Generally known as the M-72.

It launches a 66mm HEAT rocket. A powerful weapon.

Lightweight. Easy for women to handle.

When we had a joint training with the US Army

they left a whole bunch of them behind.

It's in good shape. You'll love it.

Let me see.

Don't touch there.

Thank you so much.

LOVE ME TO THE BONE

- Are you done eating? - Yeah. I'm full.

Without the Tokarev, things were boring again.

But we didn't want to do things just to occupy ourselves.

That would be pathetic.

You're gonna get a sugar rush.

It looks like the first jack-off in a month.

Yeah, it does.

Can't we ever have an intelligent conversation?

Let's terminate all the other women.

- We can't. - Why not?

What we did wasn't some arbitrary killing spree for pleasure.

It was revenge.

We killed the one who killed Sugioka. That was the end of it.

I'm so bored. Nothing excites me.

Let's go sing karaoke.

The last party was miserably low-key though.

You're right.

Hey! Everybody!

Ishihara, come on. Look over there!

If anybody could jerk off to something so divine...

I'd lose faith in mankind.

Let's sing...

for the miracle.

Let's sing.

Rock, paper, scissors!

One more time!

Ishihara!

- Don't be so pissed because you lost. - Oh, sorry.

You're going too fast.

Sorry. I'll go easy.

Congratulations on your victory, Yano-rin, even though you cheated.

I didn't cheat.

We know his hand is always paper, but he still won.

I haven't been the lead vocal for eight months.

This must be a bad omen.

Ishihara, hurry up!

If I wasn't so drunk, I'd have frozen!

Yes, please!

Hey, Nobu-chin.

Go help him. I don't want to wait until dawn.

Okay.

Why doesn't everybody come out?

One of them always stays in the van.

The sound engineer.

Hey, what's your problem?

Can you believe their outfits?

What kind of perverts are they? Nobody's even watching.

How can they be so happy and giggling?

Japan fought the war and lost only to spawn perverts like them?

Point well made, Tomi.

Look at the one in the middle.

I bet he's the one who killed Iwata.

How do you know?

I don't. Just to think so fuels my hatred.

I'm ready.

Remember, your target is the block to the side.

For as long as I live Don't aim at them.

For as long as I live I know. Watch out for the gas.

I know. Watch out for the gas.

No matter how far away

I'll keep searching for a place to lay down my love

I'll keep searching for a place to lay down my love This is just awesome.

I'll keep searching for a place to lay down my love

It's making me wet.

Though I'm hurt and unclean

Though I'm hurt and unclean Do you have your knives ready?

I want you to We'll take no prisoners.

I want you to I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Love me to the bone

I want you to love me to the bone

I want you to love me to the bone Well, gentlemen...

happy trails.

Wild...

Some weirdos are coming this way.

What's so funny?

They have knives!

What's a knife?

Cut the crap! Start the car!

They have knives, and they're coming this way!

A knife to peel apples?

Right. A knife!

Everybody's dead! They're blown to pieces!

What pieces?

Get a grip, Ishihara!

Hey, what's going on?

- What's wrong? - Nobu-chin, what are you doing?

I have the keys. You need the keys to start the car.

What are they?

They've got knives!

I think they want to kill us.

Out of the way!

Women! Middle-aged women!

How about a fuck?

What?

Hemmi!

Are you okay?

That's enough! I've had enough of this. Enough!

That's enough revenge.

FOREVER WITH YOU

Nobu-chin got stabbed.

And I lost "rock, paper, scissors."

Before that, the girl across the street was stripping.

Completely naked!

So I lost to goddamn paper.

It was a pain getting the karaoke system set up.

It was wild when Nobu-chin got stabbed.

It's embarrassing, but I got turned on.

I just wanted to fuck somebody.

Then the masked villain came out.

Just like the one in that samurai TV program.

The mask comes off, and it's a woman.

She says, "But I ain't done nothing."

That's what the villain always says-

How did it go?

Bad. How about you?

The Ground Self-Defense Force says they don't have any M-72s.

Then it's gotta be the US Army. What do they say?

They said this was nothing compared to the LA riots.

I suppose those idiots are better off dead.

How do you feel?

Good, thank you.

Are you taking your medication?

Yes. It helps me sleep.

No nightmares recently?

No. I don't sing either.

I don't need to sing anymore. Does that prove that I'm sane?

Do you remember anything about the incident?

No, I remember nothing at all.

Nobu-chin, Sugiyama...

Yano-rin and Kato-

Why did they have to die?

Why am I still alive?

You shouldn't be pessimistic. You have the future.

Your temperature's normal.

You'll leave here tomorrow.

And live your life.

I will.

It's been a long time.

Good to see you again.

You don't look it, but you're very loyal to your friends.

What was the name of your friend?

Sugioka.

Yeah, that's right.

He often comes here to weep.

He's worried about his bike.

His bike?

It's been in the bike shop for repairs, but they might throw it away.

I could go and pick it up, but I didn't know him well.

I think you should go. Would you?

The poor guy's crying because he can't go anywhere without it.

Tell him to stop weeping. I'm desperate too.

You'll find the trivets behind there.

The scuttles are on the side.

Do you have an A-bomb?

Sure do. What for?

Middle-aged women. A menace to society.

To define them philosophically...

they're the organisms that stopped evolving.

It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman,

or how young you are.

The moment you lose the will to evolve, you're one of them.

The horrifying truth is that nobody has noticed it yet.

So how much money have you got?

- I'll make the money. - How?

I'll ask my friends' parents

to help get a memorial collection of our writings published.

Don't cheat them!

Make sure you get it published.

Yes, sir.

Now I'll tell you how to make...

a Fuel-Air Explosive.

AKA, "The poor mars atom bomb."

Step 1:

Find an open space far away from residential areas.

Step 2:

To produce the necessary material,

acquire phosphoric acid, non-reactive plates, a lamp,

a pressure drier, flasks, dropping funnels, calcium chloride,

a reverse-flow cooler, a separating funnel, test tubes,

activated aluminum, ethanol, and isoprene.

Step 3:

Change the ethylene and propylene into ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.

Beware of any accidental ignition.

Even the smallest spark must be avoided.

All containers should be chilled ice cold.

Step 4:

Mix the ethylene oxide and the propylene oxide.

The mixture should be contained in a tank.

Step 5:

The important thing is the fuse.

You need a delayed fuse device to detonate the bomb...

following the release of gas as it hits the ground.

Though night falls at dusk

And time goes by

Two hearts in love

Will be together forever and ever

- Do you want me to take that? - No, this one please.

You can open the door when you use the camera.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

I'll fly directly to Chofu.

- Yes, Chofu station. - We'll arrive in 15 minutes.

Ready for take off. We're taking off now.

You know what? I'm crazy about Mozart.

I can finally understand his music.

It's probably my age too...

but I hear the music as if I can visualize the piano playing each note.

I feel so privileged and superior.

The magazine? To hell with it. I quit already.

I have "IT" on my side.

You know what I think?

It should be safe to meet again soon.

I miss everybody too.

My son talks to me a lot now.

He seems to approve of me. He's really happy.

He talks about TV shows, school and even about girls.

JA 9843, current position right above Shinjuku.

At an altitude of 2000 feet.

Headed directly for Chofu.

Now you have fun tonight, madam.

Thank you for coming.

Now you stop kidding me!

I'll see you again.

- Can I speak with you? - Right away.

I have a plan to branch out in Akasaka.

I want you to be the manager.

I'm happy to accept the responsibility.

Good and confident. That's what I wanted to hear.

You look 10 years younger than your age.

That's not really true. I'm getting old.

I feel like I'm finally becoming mature.

I'll come visit you at school on parents' day.

A helicopter!

How about a fuck?

What have you done?

I have a surprise for you.

What, only one bullet? Stingy old man.
