TOEI COMPANY LTD presents:

Thank you. Please come again.

Welcome.

This is Mr. Matsui. He graduated from a university in Tokyo with honors.

- I was the first in my class. - That's right. You were.

And now he works at a famous bank where he is very successful.

- I might be the next branch manager. - Is that so? That's wonderful!

My husband only finished grade school and worked his way up as an apprentice.

If you married my daughter, Kiku, it would be the answer to my prayers.

- Isn't that right, Father? - Yes. Uh...

- What? - Nothing. You're right.

Please have some tea.

Kiku has been taking a lot of lessons. Isn't that right, Father?

Yes. She is learning tea ceremony and flower arrangement.

- Oh, no! - What's wrong, Kiku?

I forgot to go to an important lesson.

I have to go right away. Pardon me.

Don't be ridiculous!

This is about your marriage, Kiku!

Kiku!

Father! Don't just sit there!

Go bring Kiku back! Hurry!

OK.

Kiku!

- Wait! Wait! - Father, please let me go.

Kiku, I understand how you feel, but please think about me.

- Your mother's hysterics will kill me. - Can't you do something?

Father!

Welcome.

- Father! Father! - Just a minute.

Kiku, where are you going?

Come back here right now!

Thanks.

Sorry.

- Ow! - Be careful!

Don't be so rough!

- Do you know where my uniform is? - I don't know.

Oh, Kiku. It's here. I washed it last night.

Again? You just washed it recently.

But I want you to have a clean uniform to wear every day, Kiku.

- Ippei, what is this smell? - Chanel No.5!

- Disgusting! - Oh, don't be like that.

- What are you doing, Ippei? - Nothing.

You're going to practice too, aren't you? Hurry up and change!

I know.

Far East Film Studio

Over here!

Move it to the right!

- Shall we start? - Yes.

- Thanks. - OK.

564.

Take 4.

Ready. Start!

Cut!

Miyamoto and Kudoh! Come over here.

This is a Hollywood producer who will be working with our studio.

His name is Mr. Spencer. This is Miyamoto.

How do you do?

- This is Kudoh. - Pleased to meet you.

This is our advisor.

Thank you. Good job.

He plays Isamu Kondo, and he plays Soshi Okita.

Miyamoto is an 8th degree black belt in kendo.

This sword is not just a replica for filming. It's a real Japanese sword.

- Miyamoto! We're ready. - OK.

How about here? Try it.

- Like this? - Yes.

Helmet splitting.

Ready. Start!

Everyone, listen up.

This is Mr. Spencer. He came to Japan disguised as a Hollywood producer.

But he's actually our organization's Far East boss.

- Continue. - Yes, sir.

We get the drugs via the Sea of Japan route, pack them in Buddhist statues here,

and then send them to America.

I'm impressed. The Japanese branch of our organization does things very well.

Not at all. We can only do all this because Fujiyama is head of a film studio.

This route is excellent.

I don't know how they heard, but apparently American agents are coming to Japan.

- Agents? - That's why I came to Japan.

Let's get rid of them as soon as we know who they are.

I'm Drug Control Officer Takagi.

Shit! He was thrown from the highway.

This was our only lead.

Happy Birthday, Michi.

I'm so happy. Thanks, sis.

How's this?

Have a seat, sis.

Michi, you're 18 today, so you have to start acting more lady-like.

- You too, sis. - Not me. I'm special.

That's not fair!

What did he say?

He said that 18 years have passed.

He's remembering the time when I was born in Okinawa.

I heard you had a tough time.

Michi, can't you speak so I can understand?

I'm not good at English.

No. I can speak Japanese.

Kiku, we're from Okinawa. We have no friends.

But you're different, Kiku. You're family.

Please watch over Michi.

- Michi, happy birthday! - Thank you.

Who am I going to guard?

The question is whether you're going to guard or be guarded.

Well, the person is an American, so you 're being used for your English.

So I'm just going to be an interpreter?

Don't be so naive. You'll be doing your regular job PLUS interpreting.

He's an important guest, so you 'd better work hard.

Damn! I'm gonna get rusty in kendo again.

Who is coming here?

A famous profecha from Ford University.

You mean a professor, don't you?

Yeah. Professor. Professor Douglas.

- Professor Douglas? - Yes. Professor Douglas.

A world famous authority on Asian culture.

Profecha... No, I mean Professor Douglas.

This was found in the L.A. underworld two weeks ago.

I see. So drugs were packed,

inside this statue and sent to America.

It's completely possible.

The question is how and from where they're being trafficked.

Mr. Douglas wants to check with art dealers in Japan first.

He's not familiar with all of them, so he's asked for help.

Come in.

I've brought her. Go on in, Michi.

This is Mr. Douglas.

You'll be going shopping with him.

Mister, do you recognize this Buddhist statue?

No, I don't.

I see. Thanks.

This looks like a Moonlight Buddha.

I can't tell just from the picture,

but it doesn't look very well made.

So you don't handle these here?

No.

Thanks.

No, she is a customer.

OK. I'll visit you again another time.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Do you recognize this Buddhist statue?

- It's a Moonlight Buddha. - Just a moment, please.

Is something wrong?

- Drug agents! - Agents?

Kiku, this is Mr. Kaibara, the president of Kaibara Art Gallery.

- Nice to meet you. - My pleasure. Let me introduce you.

This is Mr. Spencer. He's a Hollywood movie producer.

This is Mr. Fujiyama. He's the head of Far East Film Studios.

Do you know each other?

- Oh! He's here. - Were you expecting someone?

Please excuse me for just a minute.

- It's Takagi! - Long time no see.

What a surprise to see you here!

I heard from my office that you called and asked for my address.

It wasn't me.

Kiku, this is Suji Takagi.

He's the son of a good friend of mine and works for the Ministry of Health.

Takagi, this is my daughter, Kiku.

- How do you do? - Pleased to meet you.

Kiku does karate. She's a 3rd degree black belt.

- Come over here a minute. - No thanks. I have a seat over there.

- Takagi! - Dad! Let him be!

What do you think of him, Kiku? Takagi's different from other men.

Don't you like him?

We don't know where the enemy is, so be very careful, Mr. Douglas.

Mr. Fujiyama, congratulations!

You must make this movie partnership with Mr. Spencer a success.

I'll do my best.

But we're not just competing in the small Japanese market anymore.

I'm relying on you. Movies have no borders.

Takagi, please come to our table, just for a moment.

Sir, please excuse me today.

I understand, but Kiku is waiting over there.

Professor, Spencer says he has some secret information for you.

Please go alone.

Takagi, where are you going?

Why are you getting in the way?

Who is that man? Kiku, you saw him too, didn't you?

That man killed Mr. Douglas. Mr. Douglas is a drug agent from the U.S.

A drug agent? So you are...

Please cooperate in the investigation.

We're hunting down the largest drug ring since World War II.

That man must be a key person.

Club Keifukukyu

- Jim, do you need something? - I came to get what was promised.

Promised?

The money. I got it here last time too.

- Jim? - What should we do?

Jim has been spotted at Club Keifukukyu.

Didn't there used to be a movie called "Odd Man Out"?

Yeah, that was a good movie.

I think it was directed by Carol Reed, wasn't it?

Jim was seen. We can't let him live.

That's what the president said.

Jim, I'll give you the money. It was 10 million, right? Come on!

Where to?

Just shut up and follow me!

Don't let him get away!

What the hell are you doing?

Jim didn't come home last night.

- Didn't he contact you? - No.

This has never happened before.

Sis, what do you want from Jim?

I just wanted to ask him something.

What do you want to ask him?

What? Did Jim do something?

Is that why he didn't come home last night?

Hmm. I really don't know.

What's going on, Michi?

That phone call was from Jim, wasn't it?

It was from Jim, right? What did he say?

Michi, please tell me. What did he say?

Michi, this is very important.

Jim is involved in something very bad.

Whatever happens, I'm on your side.

You know I'm the one who cares for you the most.

I don't know what to do. Tell me.

Captain Takagi. This is Inoue.

Takagi here.

Kiku and Michi are driving somewhere. I'm gonna follow them.

OK. Be careful.

Michi.

Hi, Kiku. How's it going? Out for a drive?

Can you take me too? Just the two of us.

Just let your passenger out. It would be fun.

- Captain Takagi. - Yes. This is Takagi.

This is Ippei. Kiku's car is headed toward Otsu. Over.

Otsu.

Michi!

Wait!

- Kiku. - What, Jim?

I'm sad.

Kei... fuku... kyu.

Keifukukyu...

We'll arrest the person responsible for killing your brother. I promise.

Don't cry.

Sis, give me some time alone.

Why?

I want to be alone. Please. Go away!

Michi, Jim asked me to watch over you.

I can't leave you alone without a reason.

Sis, Jim and I had a dream.

We were going to go back to Okinawa and open a restaurant.

No matter how hard it was, we wanted to go back to Okinawa someday.

And triumph over all the people who were mean to us.

We had the same mother,

but Jim's father was black and mine was white.

People were mean to us.

But Jim always protected me.

He was the world's nicest big brother.

What are you doing here?

There's no school around here for people like you. Go away!

Hey! Hey! Black and white!

You jerk!

Jim died. There's no point in my living.

I want to take revenge and go be with Jim.

What are you saying, Michi?

Do you think Jim would be happy if you did such a thing?

You don't understand. Nobody understands.

Nobody can understand.

Please let Michi and me help in the investigation.

We want to avenge Jim's death with our own hands.

I promise we won't cause any trouble.

There must be something that only women could do to help.

Thanks, but you 'd only slow us down.

I just got a call from your father.

He asked me if I'd like to go out with you.

He didn't even ask me first.

But why do you bother mentioning it? Anyway, you refused, right?

No. I said I'd think about it.

Kiku, you always say you don't want to lose to a man.

But men are attracted to a woman's gentleness.

Cooking good food for your husband and raising your children well.

Isn't that what makes a woman happy?

Kiku, women are women after all.

Try trusting a man once in a while.

Club Keifukukyu

Let's go!

Next are the fan dancers. Please join me in welcoming them.

Michi, cut it out!

Wait!

Michi!

Michi!

Tell me what you know!

Where the hell is your drug ring?

Where did you take Michi? Where?

Norio Osawa

You asshole! Do you think I'm a fool? Say something!

Wait!

You're Norio Osawa, aren't you ? These are your business cards, right?

Kaibara Art Gallery. Does this have to do with drugs too?

Captain.

Mr. Takagi, don't you know where Michi is yet?

You told me to trust you.

Sorry. We'll find her. I promise. We have a lead.

We're questioning someone now.

Is he Jim's killer?

He's an important player in the drug ring.

Mr. Takagi, what'll happen to Michi?

I can't leave this up to you anymore.

I'll do things my way from now on.

Don't interfere!

- Don't mess things up! - Leave me alone!

This is definitely Osawa. He used to work here.

Where is he now?

He quit a week ago. We have nothing to do with him now.

I had no idea that Osawa was such a bad person.

Well, as of now, it doesn't seem like he did any damage here.

But if anything comes up, we'll call the police right away.

That's not why I'm here.

I want your help finding a drug ring.

Drugs? I've never even seen drugs.

I've heard stories about drugs, but it's a totally different world from ours.

How can there be such bad people?

Just in case, we'd like to search the premises here.

Go right ahead. Search as much as you like.

Be careful! Anything you break would cost more than you could repay in a lifetime.

Captain!

What? They're going to kill Michi?

Yes. The office just radioed me.

A man called and left a message saying to stop the investigation for 48 hours.

Otherwise they'll kill Michi.

Did something happen? You look pale.

Kiku, why are you dressed like that?

It looks good on me, doesn't it? It's the hippie style.

I don't care what it's called! Go change your clothes! Please!

No kimono dealer could face his neighbors with his daughter dressed like this!

But I'm in a hurry! We can talk about it later.

Wait a minute! I've always let you do what you want.

But I just can't allow this. Enough!

Dad! Mom is calling you.

Yes. I'm coming. Mom!

Kiku! Kiku!

Kiku! Where did she go!?

Mr. Spencer is a Hollywood movie producer.

This is Fujiyama, head of Far East Movie Studios.

Far East Movie Studios...

Mr. Kaibara, it's gotten a bit crazy.

But we got them to stop for 48 hours.

We can get ready to go to the U.S. during that time.

Fujiyama, go buy four plane tickets to L.A.

Let's put a hold on the Sea of Japan route for a while.

We've already made quite a lot from it, so I guess it's time to quit.

Anyway, let's settle the accounts through today.

There were 15 oranges, right?

Oranges?

1 orange is 100 million. All together that's 1.5 billion.

Black oranges. I see.

The money has been divided and deposited at 15 well-known banks.

Weston Bank.

Chicago Central Bank.

Daito Bank.

I've come to see Mr. Kusuhara in General Affairs.

- What for? - Yes. Umm.

- Call him. - OK.

Good morning! Now put on the wig.

Hi. You're new here. Are you an extra?

- Yes. I'm just here for today. - What a gentle voice you have!

Are you a girl or a boy? Which?

Well, I'm a boy, but this is my first time.

Your first time? I like your hairstyle.

Hey, let's go out to dinner after this. My treat!

Stop it!

Go to Studio 3! Hurry up!

Master, please come.

Right here. Good.

Don't forget to put down the screen. Go get it! Hurry up!

Fix the lighting! Are you sleeping?

Don't focus the light on me! I'm not the actor! Spread the light!

Almost ready?

Oh, Mr. Kuma.

And Gen.

Hey, have you seen the extra?

Nope.

- Are you stalking someone again? - Get your mind out of the gutter!

I'll smack you!

What a cheap-looking set!

Focus there.

Can we start? OK.

All set?

Let's go. Ready. Start!

Cut! Where the hell is the extra?

Please forgive me.

It doesn't help for you to apologize. Go get the extra!

- Hey you! - Yes.

Get over here! What happened to the extra?

- He was just here... - But he's not here NOW!

Go look for him! Hurry!

Ishida, Kato! Come with me.

You idiot!

Good morning.

Hey! Could you make up another extra right away?

- Who's gonna do it? - There's no choice. I will.

You idiot! Think again.

Did you find him?

I don't know where he went.

You still can't find him?

What are you doing here?

The Yamajima-gumi set...

Who's there?

Michi.

- Thank you, sis! - It's OK now.

Thank you, sis.

Pull on it!

Michi, run away! Hurry!

Hurry!

Oh, there you are!

- Michi, run! Hurry! - Sis!

Don't move!

Put your hands up!

Kiku's at Far East Movie Studios?

Should I tell Mr. Takagi? OK. Stay put.

OK.

I wonder where Mr. Takagi went.

Good night!

Shuji Takagi. No.l said Shuji. Don't you understand?

Stop it! You'll break the phone! Who are you calling?

Every police department in Kyoto.

Are you crazy?

Hi. I want to see Kiku.

Takagi, you idiot! I've been looking all over for you!

Something terrible has happened!

Don't disturb us.

Kill him!

Takagi!

Takagi!

Let's get out of here!

You asshole!

Open the gate!

Spare me! Please! I'll give you as much money as you want!

This is revenge for Jim.

Takagi. Takagi!

Kiku. I...

Takagi! Hang on!

Takagi! Don't die! You can't die!

The End
