Wakamatsu Productions

One lunch set, please.

How about it?

Nice pick.

You're doing well.

For that, I'd be willing to
pay twice as much...

Do it well.

Thank you for your work.

Thank you for your work.

- Hey, I'm coming tonight!
- No need to.

- Don't come.
- I'm gonna go!

She's a Thai girl. Her name is
Naung Tawan Yoon, 19 years old.

As we thought, it's an overstay.

It's impressive that you managed to
evade immigration control for two years.

Is someone backing you up?
Where have you been living?

Should we drop you off
at your apartment?

In that case, why don't we
discuss it leisurely at my office?

- What did you think?
- The bass line is great.

Right... Okay, I'll lend it
to you, then.

It looks like you don't have a
place to work anymore, huh?

- Yeah... it's troublesome.
- Indeed.

After 20 years, even candles
can become art.

- It's amazing that they lasted for 20 years.
- Yeah...

- Hey, how was the interview the other day?
- Oh, not good.

I can't make cocktails, you know?

I went to one place for coverage,
but Shinjuku is still better, right?

Well, I guess, because
it's more old-fashioned.

Welcome!

- Good evening.
- 'Evening.

- Aren't you home already?
- I'm going now.

- What about dinner?
- Let's eat at home.

There's nothing to eat, though.

Mr. Owner, is it true that this bar
will be closing tomorrow?

That's right. Please come to
the farewell party, okay?

- Unfortunately, I can't come tomorrow.
- Why is that?

I'll be shooting for the documentary
that's currently being aired.

What are you talking about?

Katsuhiko ordered local saké
especially for you...

- Oh, I'm really sorry.
- It's fine...

In that case, Ritsuko will
drink my share tomorrow.

- Sure.
- Wash your hair, okay? See you!

Hey, hold on!

- Don't forget to take this.
- Keep it until tomorrow.

- We're off, then.
- Goodbye!

- All right, I'm going, too.
- Oh, right. Well then, see you tomorrow.

- Have a good night.
- Good night.

Welcome.

- Gosh, this place is so dimly lit.
- Get me a whiskey with water...

Welcome!

- ♪ If you set your heart...
- Let's go!

- Come with me.
-♪ On the road less...

- Get some rest.
- Okay...

My apologies, sir...

Seriously...
You Giants idiotic fan!

Cheers to you!

Yoshio Harada
Kaori Momoi

It's so freaking noisy!

Lu Hsiu Ling
Renji Ishibashi

Hey, is this yours?

Enough already!
Turn off this weird music!

Miyako Yamaguchi
Ichiro Ogura

That's how you do it!

I'm so sorry!

Move! Watch out, you jerk!

We better hurry!

Hey, isn't this Komori?
It's been a while!

Aren't you old man Gunji?
It's nice to see you!

You got a tan. Were you buying
girls again in the Philippines?

No, I just went swimming...

- So, are you coming and going?
- It's not like that!

As you get older, lack of sleep
really takes a toll on your body.

I'm the one on duty tonight, so tell
Toita to behave and stay quiet.

Got it... Well, see you!

Hey, boss, here's your change.

Why aren't you drinking?

Well, I'm cutting back on caffeine.

Hayasaka, tonight you'll be drinking
coffee, whether you like it or not.

Hey...

Katsuhiko, the bar is
closing soon, right?

- Have you heard about it?
- Yeah...

Yeah, it's the right time
to shut it down.

Right... I'll miss it... We've been
through a lot together there.

I'll probably still be wandering
around the neighborhood anyway.

I'll be seeing you, then.

- Hey, I'm going this way.
- Is that so?

- I'll be at the library for a little while.
- Take care. Oh, this is for you.

- Ah, thank you so much.
- No problem.

There she is!

To our loyal customers: As of tomorrow,
this bar will be closing. Thank you for your service.

Is someone there?

Over there! She went that way!

They're gone.

Come over here instead!
Come this way! Come on.

You're injured.

Come this way.
Sit here.

It might be a little painful,
but bear with it.

If you move, it'll hurt more.

All right...

It'll sting a bit.

Good, hang in there.

Lin External Medicine Clinic

Thank you for your hard work!

Here we have Tetsuo Toita,
also known as Masao Gota.

He's the head of Odo-kai,
part of the Toita Group.

One shot to the chest...

Kabukicho's walruses aren't as
pretty as the ones in the zoo.

Rather than a walrus,
he's more like a horse.

Ah, thank you. Was it you who
performed the surgery, doctor?

I would like to hear about the
circumstances when he was brought in.

I think it was around 3:15.

When the young members of the
group brought him in by car,

he was already unconscious and
stripped down to his underwear.

- Only his underwear?
- Yes, he was shirtless.

Do you have any idea of the
approximate time when he was shot?

Judging from the bleeding,

probably about 30 minutes or so
before they brought him in.

What were his injuries?

Well, the bullet entered from below
the heart, fracturing his ribs,

and damaging his shoulder blade,
which caught the bullet.

Ah, this here is the
bullet in question.

- Is it a 7.65 millimeter?
- Ah, looks like it.

Boss, isn't this the
infamous "black star"?

What's this "black star"?

It's a Chinese military rifle
with a black star on the grip.

Lately, they've been circulating
through the Taiwan route...

Hey, boss!

It seems Todo from the Toita Group
is being visited by a Korean guy.

Even though he's an outsider,
he's making a fuss.

These guys should all be lumped
together and kicked out of Japan.

For more detailed information,
let's hear it from Dr. Hayashi...

- Thanks for your work.
- It's Lin.

My name's Lin Tuyan.

Thank you for your hard work.

- Who is the suspect?
- They say they don't know.

- Where's the crime scene?
- A condo in Hyakunin-cho.

Forensics and the mobile unit
are on their way right now.

I didn't hear it on the police radio.

When he found out that you're
in charge of the anti-crime unit...

- He got flustered and blurted it out.
- What an asshole!

- I'm sorry for being late.
- You fucking jerk!

Hey, you! Todo!

You've got a lot of nerve, pulling a
stunt like that when I'm on duty!

It wasn't us who did it.

- Who was the one who fired?
- We really have no idea.

Who would believe such a
ridiculous story, you stupid jerk?

Weren't you at the scene? That's why
you were able to bring him in quickly...

That's not true!

I was just asked by the old man to
pick him up at that time, that's all.

Then, why are you guys running around
Kabukicho, acting all suspicious?

If you don't starting telling the truth,

I'll assume it's an internal fight,
and start searching everywhere.

- Hey, stop talking nonsense!
- Hands off, you jerk!

How about you, Honboshi?
I bet you know something, right?

No, I just brought him here, that's all.

If I knew, I would tell you.

Where did you find him?

We already told you that.

It's a place the boss rents...
for himself.

Why didn't you tell us
that in the first place?

Todo, you were trying to buy
some time, weren't you?

What was there?
Meth? Cocaine? Huh?

Those guys earlier,
were they yakuza?

Should we call the police?

No! Police... no, no!

Huh?

You're not Japanese...

Where are you from?

Thailand...

Thailand?

Well, you don't look Thai.
But maybe I'm just being prejudiced.

My parents are Chinese.

Chinese expatriates?
They have Thai nationality?

Uhm... I...

Ah, I'm sorry, my bad. I didn't mean
to make it feel like an interrogation...

This is my shirt, but if you want,
you can wear it.

I don't know what happened,

but it might be good to take a
rest here until things calm down.

Right?

- A woman was here.
- A woman?

Yes, the smell of cheap
cosmetics is quite strong.

- Does this have a woman's scent?
- Yes, sir.

It wasn't just one or two girls...

Chances are, it served as
an intermediate point

for the women they recruited
in the Philippines.

- What's that thing?
- An adapter to watch videos.

I wonder if they were filming
themselves with the women?

- Hey, what's on this tape?
- There was nothing on it.

- Any bullets?
- We found one in the wall.

And also two spent cartridges.
They are the same items.

- The same?
- Exactly.

- It wasn't a shootout, then...
- What about bloodstains?

Here, the bloodstains match the
victim's blood type, which is A.

The scrape marks on the pillar
are from blood type O.

Does that mean the suspect
was also injured?

There was a small amount of blood type O
on the front door and emergency staircase.

You must be starving, right?

Okay, go ahead.

- I... no money...
- Oh, no, no!

Today is the last day for this bar.
All customers can eat for free!

Please, enjoy!

Is it good?

- It's good...
- Is it?

- Very delicious.
- Very delicious? Thank you!

I'm Meilan.
My name's Yan Meilan.

Yan Meilan?

I'm Katsuhiko Goda.

- Katsu... Hiko?
- Katsuhiko!

- Katsuhiko...
- Exactly.

It's Kazuya.
Did something happen?

- Who?
- It's Kazuya...

Oh, right!

Sorry, sorry, give me a moment.

Hey!

- Is something wrong?
- Nothing. Leave it here.

Here goes!

I'm so sorry!

The invoice...

Did we spend this much last month?

Hello... Huh?

That old man made a mistake
the other time, too...

Oh, sorry, but I think my white
bag is somewhere around here.

What?

- Is my white bag still there?
- Oh, the bag? Here!

- Ah, thank you. This is from my husband.
- Oh, thanks.

- And this is for you.
- Thank you.

- Can I give you a hand?
- Well...

- Who's that?
- That girl doesn't speak much Japanese.

- Why is she here?
- She's taking shelter.

I don't really know, but she's being
chased by both the police and the yakuza.

Hey, can you buy a ladle for me?
One with a mesh in the middle.

- A ladle?
- Yeah.

- The one with holes in it?
- The one with the mesh.

- There are empty bottles outside.
- Yes.

Oh, right.
Just a ladle is enough, right?

- That's right.
- Okay.

- You and Katsuhiko are very strange.
- You think so?

- Yeah, you're definitely strange.
- I wonder why.

Because we used to play cat and mouse with
the riot police in Shinjuku back in the day.

- Oh, I understand.
- Do you really understand?

That type of connection is...

It's pretty much as close as
two people can be, you know?

But you've had sex before, right?

Of course, that goes without saying.

A long time ago!

- Katsuhiko...
- Yes?

Why did you decide to help me?

I was also helped in the past...

20 years ago.

By the owner of a jazz bar.

At that time...

he served me coffee and pilaf.

Do you understand?

Hello!

Mr. Sakurada,

I hear the Odo-kai is becoming an
international operation these days.

I don't make a habit of
talking to police chiefs.

You're wearing a nice suit, aren't you,
Matsui? Is it a brand-name item?

It's a regular outfit.

Twenty years ago, when I was at
that Mammoth Police Box over there,

you used to wear dirty jackets
and bully country folks.

It's quite a leap in your career.

Mr. Gunji, what do you say? How about
becoming an advisor to our new company?

Living in a police dormitory at your
age must be quite burdensome for you.

Don't try too hard to show off.

Who is the Odo-kai looking for?

Did they see something they
shouldn't have?

What do you mean?

You had the nerve to cause a ruckus
on the day I was on duty, huh?

I'm tired of hearing that from you.

Mr. Gunji, your era is already over.

Matsui, do you remember the
incident from a year ago,

where a Filipino woman's body was
found on the coast of Chiba?

That's the one that got torn apart
by the black star bullets.

That bullet and the one that
hit Toita are the same.

What could be the reason for that?

I wonder what happened, too.

Did you do a test firing?
Huh? With this hand?

Listen, Matsui.

If you make any suspicious moves,
we'll be raiding you night and day.

You should watch what you say.

We will deal firmly with any
illegal investigations.

I mean it.

If a third person dies, I'll be using
whatever dirty tactics necessary,

so I can crush your gang.
Remember that.

♪ Blood is thicker than water

♪ Sworn brothers are even closer...

Boss, we just got a witness!

They saw a woman escaping from the
apartment's emergency staircase.

- Is she a foreigner?
- We're still working on a profile.

So, the suspect is a woman...

No, she might be a witness.

In any case, her life is in danger.

I don't care if we have to haul in
every lowlife from the Toita Group,

just make sure they don't
get ahold of her.

- The Chief will be nagging us later.
- I'll make a casual report, then.

I'll talk to Todo one more time.

Hayasaka, what are you wearing?

Well, it's a brand-name suit, I guess.

You're wearing brand-name stuff, too!

I think everyone already knows,
but today everything is free.

Do you understand that, mister?
Fill your glass all you want.

They only come when
it's free of charge...

- Hey, Eriko!
- Long time no see!

- Congratulations! Is that appropriate?
- Not exactly...

- He wants to stand out on his own.
- You're right.

I read about this last week
in the "Journal".

- I wish younger people had read it a bit more.
- Sorry about that.

- Hey!
- What's going on here? Oh!

- How have you been?
- I've been fine.

Hi!

Doesn't Mr. Baba have
a crush on Eriko?

- I wanted to go to a hotel with her.
- You idiot!

- Give me a whiskey and water.
- Really? Is this okay?

- Make it a light one.
- It's a shame that this bar is closing.

- Here you go.
- Thank you so much!

- I'll finish everything, don't worry.
- Let's make a toast.

- Cheers!
- Above all, stay well!

- Congratulations!
- What are you congratulating me for?

- Oh, are you leaving?
- Let's sit over there!

Since it's free, you should tidy it up.
It's no big deal, right?

Here, we'll clean it up!

- My, oh my...
- Thanks.

Honestly, kids these days
don't do anything.

Oh, thank you, Meilan.

- Whose is this?
- It's mine.

- You made this?
- Here you go...

Wow, it looks so tasty!
Look at this!

- It looks so tasty!
- It really looks yummy!

- Who is this cute girl?
- Huh? A part-time worker.

Hurry! If we don't put this here,
we can't eat. Here you go.

- Hey, I don't need one for me.
- How come?

I have my reasons...

What are you saying?

You guys should bring your own
chopsticks with you from now on.

The environmental pollution
is so bad!

District council members have
different responsibilities...

Oh my, Eriko's name is
written here, too.

It's cute, isn't it?

Oh, it looks so delicious!

- Wow! I ate this in Bangkok!
- Huh?

- This tastes like Thailand!
- You're observant, huh?

Are you a regular at Soy Jeepun?

That's awful. You go to those
brothels that employ foreign girls?

- No way, I'm all into parasailing now.
- Are you sure?

Arimoto, are you an idiot?
Coming all the way to Bangkok for that?

Thai women are the best. They are caring,
especially the women from Chiang Mai.

This is delicious, right?
Hurry and take a bite.

- I'll take it, I'll take it...
- All right.

Hey, can you do me a favor? I need your help.
Take a look at this for a moment.

"Emergency Temple Establishment
for Foreigners Committee". What is this?

- Don't run away!
- Oh, come on!

You must be profiting a lot
from land speculation.

- Can't you donate a bit?
- Get it from Arimoto!

Is one bill enough?

"Rosa at twenty..." Right?

"Madonna at 40."

Wait, not a 10.000 bill?

1.000 yen is a standard donation.

I see you haven't changed your ways...
Thank you, nevertheless!

Are you going home, Professor?

Yeah, I've gotta be on TV
early tomorrow morning.

Excuse me.

- Thank you for coming!
- Take care, Professor.

Oh, here he comes!

Hey, how's it going?

Oh, long time no see!

Hey!

Here, have a seat!
Hey, man!

Still the same old reliable place.
Sit down, come on!

- Who are they? Your students?
- That's right.

It's been a while since
I've been to Shinjuku...

The number of yakuza
seem to have increased.

I heard that a certain
gang leader got killed.

Just relax and enjoy yourselves.

Can I get you anything to drink?

- Oolong tea.
- Huh? Oolong tea?

I'll let you drink even
if you're underage.

Hello!

- Why are you speaking Chinese?
- Be quiet!

- Hello, how do you... too?
- Now, it's Korean...

Hey, we're talking here!

Do you speak English?

Hey, Baba, you're acting like
a monkey, you know that?

It's like you're offering bananas
to spectators from inside a cage.

- Miyake is better, after all...
- Miyake? Hey, what do you mean?

Ritsuko's not so great
when she's drunk...

They all come thinking it's free,
and then, there's trash everywhere.

It would work out if you asked
people here to contribute...

Go ahead, Arimoto.
You like it, right?

Hey, Miyake.
You too, okay? Come on.

At Shinjuku Station, there's a movie
billboard at the East Exit.

They broke through there, entered the
tracks, and occupied Shinjuku Station.

- All the trains were completely stopped.
- I can't believe it!

It was literally a liberated zone.
October 21st, Shinjuku riot.

- It was an incredible night.
- You got arrested during that time, right?

I guess I'm just the type
who gets arrested.

Idiot, he's still doing that kind
of storytelling performance?

There are quite a few clueless
prep school students around.

How can anyone fall for
that kind of story?

He doesn't even look like he's
trying to get in their pants...

The truly strong ones
never got caught.

The owner here, though, charged into
an overwhelming riot police force...

- And got his head split open.
- Really?

He could have been an associate
professor at a medical school.

That can't be true!

Then, there are those who shouted
"Dismantle the university!",

and still graduated without a care.

Mr. Owner, come drink over here!
Mr. Owner!

- Do you want ice?
- No thanks.

- ♪...Giants, reach for the stars...
- Akikawa's here.

♪ Sweat, bleed, and never
reveal your tears

♪ Go, go, Katsuhiko!

♪ Go further than ever before!

Oh, here you are, Akikawa.

Are you okay?
All right, let me lift you up.

Hey, don't stick out your tongue!
Hey, this is a bar, you know!

Don't start french kissing here.
You pervert. Idiots!

Hey, come here.

- It's dirty!
- You sleep right here.

- Thank you very much!
- Huh?

- You think I'm a pervert?
- What?

I can't get hard unless
I choke my wife.

That's totally fine. You see,
as long as it's not lethal, you can do it.

Are you sure about that?

I see.

All right, then buy me a drink.

- Today, it's Katsuhiko's treat, right?
- Huh?

- Drinks are on the house today.
- Oh, you're right. I remember now!

That's right... I remember now...

Did he become an alcoholic?

He's not suited for the Heisei era.
His wife must be having a hard time...

Arimoto, why don't you help
him find a good job?

With three kids, he can't make a
living on newspaper delivery...

You bastard.
What do you mean by that?

Stop using old stories to
deceive your students.

- You were never around when it mattered!
- Hey, Baba...

Acting all high and mighty...
Weren't you just a whistleblower?

What? Say that again!

I'll say it again all right.
You were just a whistleblower!

- You son of a bitch!
- Hey, hey, hey!

- Don't try to stop me!
- Enough with that!

Just sit down!

We haven't seen each other in a
while, so just drink quietly.

- He's the one who is at fault.
- Let's just drop it.

Your face gets longer
when you're angry.

- Miyake, the restroom is available.
- I don't want to go.

- Ritsuko, go grab a glass there.
- Hey, don't we have more ice?

Hey, Todo...

Did you know that Sakurada
hired the Hong Kong mafia?

New foreigners to replace you guys.

You guys, too,

you've done your fair share of
dirty work for Sakurada, haven't you?

Now, you're just in the way.

Toita, too... That's why the
Odo-kai had him killed, right?

Aren't you also being
targeted by them?

Hey, why don't you give
Sakurada what he deserves?

Even if the police come in,
you'll still come out on top.

You've got some leverage, don't you?

I'm not a sushi chef, you know.

You can't act tough forever.

So, that's how it is.
All right, you can continue.

Please, stop this already!
How many times do I have to tell you?

I'm sorry, my friend is very slow
when it comes to paperwork.

You can have as much coffee
as you want. It's on me.

Thank you!

- Is it done?
- Well, I did make it, but...

They didn't get a good look
at her face in the darkness.

We couldn't get an Urdu interpreter,
so this is the best we could do.

Hey, come on, Katsuhiko!

Come on, come out!

Hurry up!

- Give us a last speech!
- Okay, okay, I got it.

Apologies and thanks for joining us
today to celebrate the bar closing.

Thank you very much.

Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Arimoto
in the real estate industry,

Mr. Baba in the advertising industry,
Mr. Miyake in the prep school industry,

with the cooperation of Ms. Imai,
a Metropolitan Assembly member,

Shinjuku's continued growth
is truly a cause for celebration.

Unfortunately, it has become
necesssary to close this establishment.

As for my current state of mind,
there's nothing ahead.

I'm just going to jump into the sea.

I'm feeling a bit like that,
but my mood is high.

From now on, Arimoto will be
doing something. Stay tuned!

All right! How about we do a collection
of nostalgic hit songs, then?

- Like what?
- Shall we do "How Many"? Let's go!

♪ How many roads
must a man walk down

♪ Before you call him a man?

♪ How many seas
must a white dove sail

- Do you know this song?
- We don't.

Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind",
an anthem for our old generation.

- Seems like a really good anthem.
- It is, right?

An anthem from the time when us, old men,
were engaged in student demonstrations.

"Crush the Security Treaty!
Reclaim Okinawa!"

♪ The answer, my friend,
is blowin' in the wind

♪ The answer is blowin' in the wind

♪ - How many roads must a...
- You should sing together with us.

I don't want to.

♪ Before you call him a man?

♪ How many seas
must a white dove sail

♪ Before she sleeps in the sand?

♪ How many times must the
cannonballs fly...

Wow, you know this song, too?

At a camp in Thailand... I heard it
many times at a refugee camp.

♪ The answer, my friend,
is blowin' in the wind

♪ The answer is blowin'...

I'm actually Vietnamese...

I bought a Thai passport in Bangkok...

Thank you!

- Oh, Mr. Kosei came!
- It's lively here, isn't it, old man?

- Can I sing a song as a farewell gift?
- Go ahead. Give them an applause!

Kimie!

♪ Even if my profile is
displayed for money

♪ - I won't sell out, not even my heart
- The lyrics pierce right through you.

♪ Duty on the left,
reason on the right

♪ And compassion in the middle —
that's the path I follow

♪ Hearts that can't be
bought with money

♪ Are what I desire

♪ I'll endure these
wavering feelings...

Thank you...

♪ I want to show it at least

♪ I want to show it at least,
my bride's appearance

- Where's Meilan?
- She said your sandwich was delicious.

That's it. Then, she left.

Hey, I found her!

Katsuhiko...

Hey, this way!

Hold on!

Stop right there!

Go after them!

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Oh, are you working from home
today? That's quite the catch.

Meilan.

Katsuhiko...

You were keeping an eye
on me, huh? Idiot.

What time is it?

Imai, didn't you put your body on
the line and fight for Vietnam?

But now you're doing Vietnamese
refugee support, huh? Interesting.

Miyake, aren't you fixating
too much on the past?

- You should face the current reality.
- That's right!

The more oppressed a nation is,
the more it tends to oppress other nations.

The defeat of socialism, huh?

No, it's not that real socialism
could ever be built.

Wait, I'm talking about
something else here...

- It's not like that.
- Do something instead of thinking.

Now, Shinjuku has become a
ghetto for refugees!

That's the worst.
Running away as refugees.

If you want freedom, you should
stand your ground and fight!

Write that on the blackboard!

Cram schools are great.
They have freedom of speech.

Oh, really? If you want in,
I'll introduce you.

It's better than putting guerrillas in
commercials and masturbating to it.

- Just boiled eggs are fine.
- You moron!

- They should be soft-boiled.
- Soft-boiled my ass!

Hey, wait a moment...

Ritsuko!

Leave me alone.

You don't understand what it's like
to live with pain amidst prosperity!

Baba! Hey!

As expected, you said some
good things. For real...

Hey... Baba...

Your motivation was incredible, right?
In front of Yasuda Auditorium.

This guy is all talk.
That's what he is.

- To all the students gathered here today!
- Shut up, old man!

- Shut your trap!
- Right now, at this very moment...

Oh... what's up with you... huh?

Did you get your teeth fixed? Huh?

You know, lately...

you were bragging about the tooth that got
broken by the riot police, weren't you?

It was like a medal of honor.
Damn you, bastard.

But now you have perfectly
white teeth, you idiot...

It must have been expensive, right?
You should buy me a drink.

It's okay, I won't refuse.
Hey, bring us a bottle over here!

Right? All right, let's go!

♪ If you set your heart...

Sir, we've got good girls here,
some really good girls.

Anything goes, and she's got a great
personality. It's a bargain, I promise!

He's my favorite type...

Hey, what kind of person is he?

Hey, Mr. Owner! You've got a
nice girl with you today, huh?

She's a nice one!
Hey, hey!

Come on, let's have some fun.
We've got good girls, really good girls.

I need to make some money.
Please, keep it brief.

You've heard that Toita
got taken down, right?

Why did it happen?
Was it the Odo-kai?

I heard it was a woman,
maybe a Thai or something.

They're using passports as leverage.
The usual routine, I assume.

So, the woman killed him?

Would the Odo-kai really
retaliate for something like that?

Apparently, the woman has
something in her possession.

- What exactly?
- A videotape, it seems.

A videotape?
What kind of videotape?

That's where my knowledge ends.

But still, why are those guys running
around Kabukicho in a panic?

Is there a reason the woman
can't leave this town?

Well, this is just a hunch,

but there's something that
the woman really needs...

- It must be something that's in this town.
- Something she needs?

And if she doesn't have that,
she can't escape...

A passport?

Maybe, it's just a guess...

You know a forger, right?
Introduce me to that person.

Please, give me a break.
We promised I would only share rumors.

A promise is a promise.
Hey, when's the next crackdown?

It's on the 27th.
That's the plan.

All right, then. See you...

Hey, that forger is in cahoots
with the Toita Group, isn't he?

The woman is being targeted.
Please, let me meet with that person.

I'm afraid it's impossible.
Even I have to survive in this town...

Hey! If something happens
to the woman, it'll be your fault.

It'll be the same as if
you did it yourself!

Okay, I get it...

I understand. I'll do it.

The duration of stay is 30 days, and it's
recorded that you entered a week ago.

Practice your signature and make sure
there are no mistakes at the airport, okay?

There she is!

- Brother!
- Take a look over here!

Brother!

Hey, you!

Listen... hey!

You bastard...

What are you doing?

They're gone... hey.

Thank you, old man...

It's okay now.

Let's go.

Are you Kiyono?

Where's the videotape?

This is the work of a pro.

- The guys from Hong Kong?
- Yeah...

They're former Chiang Kai-shek army special
forces, they don't mind doing rough things.

Boss, the punks here claim
they don't know anything.

They say they were just
looking for a videotape.

They silenced them, huh?

Boss, Todo has been killed.

What did you say?
But I thought Todo was innocent!

I was actually about to tell you...

The Odo-kai's lawyer is here
and he's making a fuss...

- Did the division chief give the okay?
- Yeah...

Damn those intellectuals!

- Where were you? It's been two hours.
- Where did you go? Katsuhiko, seriously!

You couldn't even return here?

What an impressive skill, right?

- Who reported it? Was it her?
- Yes, sir.

When she came back from shopping,
she found his dead body.

That's the tape that disappeared
from Toita's apartment, isn't it?

Hey, uhm... hey, hey... the video...
Here. Okay? Okay?

- Over there, there!
- Okay.

What are you doing, sir?

It's Sakurada...

What a terrible thing to do...

I can't think of him as human.

Is this an hidden recording?

They set up Sakurada by saying
they'd let him shoot a living person.

It served as future blackmail.

Bullets! Give me bullets!

The woman must have
this gun, right?

Evidence of murder, huh?

They're all corrupt!

A murder videotape...

"If you don't want to end
up like this, too,"

"you better start working at a
dating club", they told me.

I had no choice but to
do as the yakuza said.

For my brother...

I got scared and said that I'd do it...

The man happily took off his clothes...

But when the man came
down on top of me...

I was once attacked by
pirates in the past...

It made me remember that time.

When I escaped Vietnam by boat...

I was kidnapped by pirates...

I was raped by men on the coast of
Thailand over and over again...

Remembering what
happened at that time,

I pushed the man away.

No!

I ended up killing him.

Oh, that scared me!

Oh, I have to wake up early tomorrow.

I promised to take my
kid to Disneyland.

- What do we do now?
- Don't ask me!

That flyer from earlier!
The foreigner's refuge temple!

The Emergency Establishment
Committee? It's not ready yet.

It's embarrassing to say this, but I
think we should leave this to the police!

What are you saying? She said she
won't be able to save her brother

unless she goes to Thailand
on tomorrow's flight, right?

Katsuhiko, how are we going to
get her out of this situation?

Aren't there police cars and
yakuza lurking outside?

What are we going to do, Katsuhiko?

Oh, that tickles!

Hey, you're being noisy.
Go home already!

- Are you going to close already?
- Yes, we're closed now.

What do you guys want?!
Hurry up and leave!

Okay, okay, goodbye.

Be quiet and come with us.

If anything happens to me,

that video will be delivered to the police.

You can tell that to our leader.

Your leader?

Didn't you watch the video?

Come on, the Japanese don't like to wait.

Wait up!

What are you guys doing?
Huh? It's everyone's party...

Transformation!
Here it comes!

Hey, Akikawa?

- Oh, what are we gonna do?!
- Hey, hey...

- Give me that!
- Hey, don't leave now!

- Hey, Akikawa... Akikawa, hey!
- What are we going to do?!

I can't believe this!
What do we do now?!

How could this have happened?
Geez...

- Kazuya hasn't come back, right?
- Yeah...

I wonder what he's doing.
It's not safe out there, even for him.

Don't pick it up.

Hello? Yes...

All right, got it.
Then, stay right there.

If you move, contact me again.

Was it Kazuya?
What did he say? Hey...

Hey...

- What did he say?
- I'm sorry.

Sorry to say this,
but can you all go home?

- This is my problem.
- It's our problem, too! Isn't it?

- She's right!
- How dare you say that?

- What are you going to do with him?
- He's right!

Please, just leave me and
Akikawa alone together.

What are you talking about?

Aren't we comrades who
fought together?

Ritsuko, you too.
Leave with them.

What are you blabbering about?!
There's no way we can leave like this!

Just step out of that door,
even if it's just one step!

Ah, you're impossible!

This is terrible...

Are you listening?
We're leaving now!

I'm going home!
Just bring me my handbag.

We're leaving...

- We're going home...
- Yeah.

- We're leaving...
- Let's go.

We're all leaving,
just like you wanted.

Men are hopeless in situations
like these.

I came here just to bring
this to Meilan.

Actually, I've decided
I'm going with you.

Nothing has changed in
this room, huh?

- This really takes me back.
- Hey, don't touch that.

What are you talking about?
I was the one who bought you this.

Having a Guevara portrait
is old-fashioned.

Oh! I was looking for this.
So, it was here.

What's that?
Did you save that up?

Yeah, I did.
Quit bothering me.

Well, then...

- Let's take a break.
- Move over.

You scared me...

It won't light.

You have the same expression
as you did back then.

Remember? We came to Tokyo on October 21st,
on the express to Sakurajima, right?

Liar! As if you remember that...

What are you talking about?
I was watching you the whole time.

It was strange.
Only one of us was visibly nervous.

There's one thing I need to tell you.

Back on October 21st,

when I said I got caught by the
riot police, that was a lie.

I was beaten up by some
damn beat cop.

I was cornered.

I was thinking of smashing that
guy's head with a brick.

But when our eyes met...

I thought that he might end up dead,
so I let my guard down a bit.

And then, I ended up getting my head
smashed instead. So, it's all a lie.

- Well, that's fine.
- Sorry, it's not.

- That's so typical of you, though.
- What do you mean? You idiot.

Well, you know...

Let me see that...

I see, so you have a gun.

All right!

Hey, can you lend me
something to wear, too?

I mean, this won't do it...

- Here.
- Is this yours?

- Arimoto said to use it.
- Arimoto?

Yeah, and Eriko said to leave
the rest to them. Get in!

Please, deliver this to
Akikawa's house later.

Hey!

Hey, pick that up!
Please, quickly pick it up.

Hey, give me that.
Come on, give me that!

Don't throw it, you idiot!
Slide it, try sliding it.

- Here you go.
- All right!

Is something wrong?

Meilan!

Katsuhiko?

Ritsuko...
Ritsuko got hit by a bullet...

Are you all right?

I've never been shot before...
I have no way to know.

I guess you're right.
Okay, let's go!

Goda!

Your goal should have been
accomplished by now.

I remember you quite well.

Twenty years ago in Kabukicho,

you nearly got me.
I'm the guy from back then.

Let's leave it at that.

The Odo-kai and the Toita Group,
they're all corrupt.

Now, surrender.

Don't come.

Can you really shoot me?

If you had shot me back then,
I would have been done for.

Give me the gun.

Kazuya, get those two in the car.

Don't worry about me.
Get Meilan inside the car, hurry!

- Hands off me!
- Meilan, enter the car!

Come on, get Meilan in there!

I can get on by myself.
Get Meilan inside quickly.

- Drop your gun!
- Hurry up, Kazuya!

Don't shoot!

Katsuhiko!

Kazuya, I told you to hurry up,
you bastard!

No! Katsuhiko!

- Go!
- Leave!

Katsuhiko!
