- Double X Utsukushiki Kyoki ~ XX BEAUTIFUL WEAPON

Think you can keep doing this?

Will the alcohol get you first...

or your own soul?

Either way, you'll end up committed to an institution.

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

You're getting worse day by day.

With all of your stress, even the alcohol...

won't beat back the pressure.

Our boss is also worried.

I'm determined to overcome it.

Please don't tell him.

You're like the parent that brought me up.

You're the one who also trained me.

To think you'd use my body like this.

Or is this supposed to be a reward?

How dare the politicians come and ask me for handouts in these times.

They come wanting 50 or 100 million yen.

When the economy was strong, they'd come around...

and have me pad their pockets.

They don't know the meaning of debt.

And they swindle and cheat...

against the laws they created themselves.

Well? Don't you think?

Yes.

I received information that a fraud investigator...

will be heading to that bank tomorrow.

All right?

You can count on us.

For me to wield my influence any more than this...

I've got to make sure they're not going to...

want to destroy this sugar daddy.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Hello? Coffee Shop Bee.

I want you to carry out tonight what we discussed.

Call me on an outside line.

We'll talk about details.

Sure thing. Bye.

I have to step out for a bit. - Sure.

At around 2:50 this afternoon...

police announced in: the death of bank employee Tsunoo Endo...

of the Marunouoh Branch of the Town Bank...

found dead on the last train out of Shinjuku Inn night...

was the result of a sudden heart failure.

Hello?

You have a client tonight.

You know what to do.

Right.

What's the matter?

You all right?

Welcome.

That's good.

I won't complain. I'll take any job you send my way.

I'm just here to kill time.

What?

This isn't about a job?

Yeah. It's quiet these days.

What?

Seems like you have someone who's a lot better.

Who is it? The one getting all the work.

Wasn't the banker that was killed...

the guy that passed on your boss's bribes?

Never mind.

If it weren't for that mouth of yours and the booze...

we could still be using you.

A request.

'In A Sentimental Mood?' Stupid fool.

Who's the idiot that requested...

You should out out the crap...

and get yourself in better shape.

Are you leaving?

I thought you were getting there with a hard-on...

but you do have your soft spots.

Start playing. I'll be back soon.

We can go now.

Go as slow as you can when you pass in front.

What about this one?

I'll wash it tomorrow.

Just wash it now.

I said wash it.

I admire your cautiousness.

It's a part of my character.

A rush job?

The earlier the better.

Preferably tonight

Tonight?

It's only six hours until daybreak.

Seems pretty sudden.

The boss said that you should do it precisely because it's a rush job.

He specified me?

It's not a particularly difficult job.

A woman living alone.

Sounds like a real easy one.

Made any arrangements?

Yeah.

Since it's so sudden, I'm going to drive you there.

Seems you've already decided that I'll take the job.

That's what the boss wants.

I see.

Sorry.

When you finish the job, I'll bring you back here.

That's awfully good service.

But there's one condition.

No...

There's two.

Here it comes...

It's no big deal.

You can't use a gun.

I don't like guns, anyway.

Not very creative.

And you've got to sleep with her.

I'm not interested in necrophilia.

Before you kill her. Not after.

That's what she'll be expecting.

That she'll be killed?

NO.

That she'll be having sex.

That's the kind of woman she is.

So, I'd be considered a client of hers.

Right.

Are those the only conditions?

The boss specified me, and those are his conditions?

That's right.

Payment will be made in the usual way.

Same amount as last time.

It's easy, isn't it?

Compared to last time?

I wonder.

I wouldn't know until I actually do it.

Who is it?

The boss sent me.

Come in. And leave your shoes on.

Would you like...

a drink?

Sure.

No. Thank you.

How strange.

It seems everyone who comes here...

doesn't want a drink.

The bedroom's over there.

Wait until I call for you.

Come in.

Come right in. And close the door.

How about some light?

I don't need it.

I prefer it dark.

Take your clothes off there.

And come here.

There's nothing there that you'll trip over.

Just wait till I'm ready to come...!

Out that out.

Why would you even care?!

Because I can't stand to look at you.

You think I enjoy watching you...

slowly destroy yourself?

I guess I didn't make the wrong choices, did l?

After all, I moved the spirit of an evil man...

who sheds no tears and whose blood runs cold!

To think...

that I stirred the conscience of an evil man!

I just don't like to see filth!

Even the boss...

only loves beautiful things.

As I get dirtier and dirtier...

everything around you guys becomes cleaner and cleaner.

That's why I want you to stop doing this.

There are a lot of others who'd take on dirty work like this.

That's exactly why I have to be the one to do it!

It can't be anyone else!

Every man who comes here comes to have his mouth sealed.

It's the ultimate outcome of the dirty work you bring me.

I'm the one that finishes off that dirty work.

So, I have to be the one that gets dirty.

Are you...

doing this out of some sense of pride?

I-...

Want to take it on. The dirty work you...

You can't handle it.

I'll keep doing it!

And I'll get in the way, do what you will to me.

You're letting your emotions take over.

How can you, with the stench of blood all over you...

do anything more?

Do you realize that your face is covered...

by that man's blood splatter?

How'd it go?

Yes. It went according to your instructions throughout.

I'll personally go to the police to have a talk with them.

Now that the little pest...

won't be talking...

and as long as those politicians resign...

we can keep this whole thing under wraps.

Outside, there's a right-wing militia group...

at the ready, waiting to pounce.

They've got the courage not to quit even when faced with death.

I'd quit.

Whatever they do, there's no way they can get near you.

What's the case, then fine.

What about the devil woman?

She's getting much better at her methods.

But she's under a lot of stress.

From what?

At this rate, her psychological state...

Don't let her become a loose cannon.

I want you to...

think this one through carefully.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Are you off?

I have to take care of some details.

Welcome.

Nothing tastes as good.

Take it easy with that. I've got work.

What?

I thought I was out because of my big mouth and my drinking.

There was a bit of a hitch.

He wants you to take this on right away.

Your boss?

It's a rush job.

But you guys have all kinds of good guys.

Like the coffee-shop guy.

I heard he ran away.

Find out where he went?

Where did you hear that?

What?

What you just said.

Where did I hear...

Is it important? - No.

I'm don't want the boss to hear any stupid rumors.

I suppose.

The wrong people could got curious.

Listen. It's got to be done tonight.

It's a woman, and there are two conditions.

Like what?

You think you'll be able to do it after that drinking?

I haven't accepted yet.

No guns.

That's no problem.

I've never even fired a dangerous thing like that.

If I tried to fire one with my thin piano-playing hands and all...

I'd probably end up shooting myself in the foot.

Keep your mouth shut.

And you've got to sleep with her before you kill her.

While she's alive.

All right?

I'm not interested in rape. I don't think I can pull that off.

She'll be expecting you to have sex with her.

You don't have to worry.

I guarantee it

You'll got six million for it.

I'll pay you as soon as you finish the job.

Sounds good to me.

Not bad at all.

But it's got to happen tonight.

Whore?

Outside the city.

You have no way of getting there, so I'll drive you.

All right.

Okay.

So close to the city, yet we're in the countryside.

That's the house.

You don't have much time left.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and l just don't understand.

What's this all about?

You want to know why we want her dead?

First of all, I want to know why I have to sleep with her first.

You were saying just before that this was a good job.

Sure, but...

I figure I can just finish her off right from the start.

You don't want to do this job anymore?

No. That's not it.

All right. I'll tell you.

The girl works for our boss.

He put her up here to entertain people...

that he wants to influence behind the scenes.

But she knows too much now.

The hoes doesn't have any use for her anymore.

There are lots of others who can take her place.

So, that's why we've got to get rid of her.

But If we just simply kill her...

that'll attract a lot of attention from high up in the police.

Suicide pact?

It would be easiest to make it look like a suicide pact gone wrong.

That's right.

She'll believe that you're a client.

So, you'll have to play that up.

Must be pretty lonely up here by herself.

Just get going.

She's waiting for you.

If you're late, she'll be suspicious.

It looks awfully depressing.

What's with all the darkness?

You'd think she'd be afraid of being all alone.

Sorry for taking so long.

Come in.

I don't have to take my shoes off, right?

Sit down.

What's the matter?

I just tripped a bit, that's all.

I see.

Would you like a drink?

A drink?

Sounds good.

Don't have an eye for the good stuff, though.

And you?

Sure, I'll have some. - Good.

Here.

Thank you.

That's a nice picture.

Your mystique comes through nicely.

Good brandy.

Much better than the one I drink at work.

Work?

I play.

Piano.

I see.

I play at my regular bar.

I take requests from customers and all.

Kind of like that.

I see.

Smells good.

Must be expensive.

You mean my perfume?

Yes. It's wonderful.

I'd like to play for someone as beautiful as you.

Perhaps one day.

Right One day...

I hope you come by.

The bedroom is in through that door.

I'll go on ahead.

Sit still until I call for you.

Come in.

Please come right in.

It's pitch dark in here.

I'd like some light.

It doesn't work.

Seems that way.

But I prefer it dark.

Take your clothes off, close the door and come right in.

That took quite a long time.

Was there a problem?

Did he drink?

Maybe I'll have one before I get on with things.

What did that man do?

Did he do something so terrible as to be brought here like that?

What's the point of knowing.

No reason, in particular.

Then let it be.

It's better that you don't know.

To know...

Is to be hurt.

That's what you said.

You...!

What happened?!

I may have a big mouth, but I do take my precautions.

You should know about precautions.

A 22 caliber bullet doesn't really kill unless you hit something vital.

What's happened hero?!

You were about to be killed.

That's a lie.

If you don't believe me, then ask him.

The boss made a decision.

He was worried about you being a loose cannon.

I didn't have...

any other way to deal with it.

You were about to be eliminated as well.

I wasn't able to...

let Miss die alone.

What do you mean by Miss'?

Who's this Miss'?

Come on, you think this is the time to hold back?

Do you know our boss?

Kokubo Yasuhiro, the fixer, right?

Doesn't take much to figure that out.

He's my father.

I'm the illegitimate daughter of a mistress.

Well, how about that...

Even though it was an order from the boss...

I just wasn't able to...

kill her myself.

But...

It's impossible now.

Do you love her?

Is he dead?

Yeah.

Poor man.

Poor man?

You should look at yourself.

She lives on a dead-end road.

People only visit her in the middle of the night.

Her room is pitch dark.

People only go to die.

How many have come so far?

Four?

And the coffee house guy was one of them?

Quite a system you have.

How did you know?

Your eyes, maybe?

This isn't the first time I've seen you.

What?

I was watching through those curtains when you did the coffee guy.

I peered deep into your soul.

Sorry about that.

I see.

I thought for a while after you went into your bedroom...

as I stared at your beloved doll.

Where is it? Where did it go?!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to distress you.

I'm sure there was a time when you could open up your heart

Then what did I shoot?

I guess it's over.

Say a prayer when you kill me.

I don't plan to kill you.

Now, why would Kokubu's daughter choose a life like this?

You could do anything you want.

Nobody can...

peer into my darkness.

If you don't plan to kill me, you should just go.

You're going to come with me.

I'm no good to you as a hostage.

I'll stay here.

Stay here till you die?

Miss Kokubu?

I want to take you with me.

Why?

I want to escape from this place with you.

From this dead end.

But I was going to kill you.

Strangely enough...

that was the best night I've had.

That night...

I fell in love with that woman who had cried herself to sleep.

No. That's got to be a lie!

It's true.

I felt like an old prince...

who wanted to take the sleeping beauty away...

from the dead end she was living in.

You can't be...

I'm even more convinced right now...

of the feelings I have for you.

Since that time...

this old widower has just wanted to...

rest his head on your lap.

Give me the life...

that I was going to end.

It's impossible!

But we've got to try!

I'm only able to have some dignity when I'm here.

If I were able to get out of here...

I'd be nothing more than a blind victim.

So, I'll be your guide dog.

What are you doing?

I'm making it so you can never return.

That's my doll.

Stop that!

Let the past go!

Let's go.

I knew that my father...

was eliminating the people that got in his way.

But...

he did also love me very much.

It's that love that turned you into a killer.

To keep his secret, you sold your body and carried his guilt with you.

That's how you showed your love for him.

I didn't want any more people getting involved with my father.

It's not so easy.

Only the good die young.

You're actually no different...

than a mother who desperately covers for a son who kills...

for his drug habit.

Your feelings weren't received.

Your father's like a ghost.

The thing he fears most is a ruined reputation.

In order to protect his reputation...

he'll do anything to anyone, family or not.

It has nothing to do with you.

Let's got going.

What are you doing?!

Don't move!

This is where we part ways.

Hey, wait a minute...

The darkness is my ally.

What are you trying to do?!

I thought I was going to be with you from now on.

Don't come near me.

The next move you make, I'm not going to miss.

What are you going to do?

It has nothing to do with you.

Don't be so cold.

I'm willing to take the risk of being with you.

And maybe run a small piano bar somewhere.

You can't just leave me here...

You really shot me!

Shit!

How could you break my heart like that?!

You fool!

I could've been a great guide dog to you.

If the fire was so bad that...

the bones even burned to a crisp...

then there's no way they'll know how many...

were in that house.

It's a good thing there weren't any hassles to deal with.

I did take an interest in the skill and ability...

of that devil woman, though.

But after thinking about it...

I just felt the whole thing was...

kind of creepy.

For some reason...

she decided to infect herself with some weird virus.

I think she wanted to haunt me...

and get back at me until the day I died.

That's what I think.

I never thought...

I'd feel so relaxed and at ease like this again.

Well, I'm glad that part's over with.

I'm absolutely ecstatic.

What? Come on.

I wish you wouldn't say that.

Even a wise man must beware that he can overlook things.

That's just like you, Doctor. Just can't leave it alone.

Hello? Hello?

Doctor? Hello?

Doctor! Hello?!

Hello?!

Well, do what you have to do.

Bye.

You're adorable!

Oh, cutie!

Oh, yeah...!

Who is it?

What do you want?

It's you!

MIYAZAKI Masumi

KUSAKARI Masao

MURAI Kunio

ARAI Norihito OSUGI Ran

See you next time.

KATO Takeshi

What's that?

I'm not really sure.

The new owner of this building is here to say hello.

What?

Probably wants to shut us down and open yet another lousy disco...

and turn it into some den for the hip and trendy.

Well, here's another request.
