Mr. Ishimata has arrived.

Door 6-0

Yes. It's Ishimata.

- Ishimoto here. - Understood.

Yes sir. Thank you.

Thanks.

Nice girl ?

Hello. What ? Yes, this is the Ishimoto residence.

What ? I can't hear you. Could you repeat that please ?

What ? It's Mr. Tanimoto ? Master is at a meeting.

What? Mr. Tamimoto. Is that right? What? I can't hear you.

Sorry, could you repeat that?

Yes, this is the Ishimoto residence.

What? This is the Ishimoto residence. I can't hear you.

What? Tanimoto, master is...

Hey !

Shut the fuck up !

I've been supporting them for 10 years.

You were to search. It's fine if the door in unlocked and open.

Riquet,

don't forget, I'm the only one to judge what pleases me.

- Ciao. - Hello Riquet, how are you doing ?

- Hey. - Yes ?

- I have an errand. Let's split up here. - See you later. Good-bye.

I'm home. Busy, mother? What an attitude.

Why don't you watch TV? That's why I bought it.

It's no use. All you do is sit.

- Im home. - ne second.

How did it go... with the photo?

- Thank you. - Don't worry, Sis. I'll do as you say.

It's for you too. I'm fed up with this life.

Look at other people. I want to enjoy life like them.

But it doesn't matter. It's a short wait now.

Well, everything went very easily.

It is a great thing we met.

- Do you regret it ? - No.

The last favor we'll ask to your brother will be even easier.

May I leave now ?

- Goodbye. - Thank you for coming.

See you soon.

Nice work.

You should thank the Japanese girl's brother.

Careful Pierre, you're not a tourist.

My wife. Tourists. Both of us, tourists.

What a bully !

There's nothing, nothing.

- Look wherever you want. - Please, stop.

It's irritating that they rummage.

We have nothing to hide.

- Good flight ? - Excellent.

- Everything's alright ? - Everything.

Pierre !

Mister Van Hekken, electronic center director. My wife.

Hello.

That's a surprise.

A good surprise, Madam.

You weren't expecting me ?

Most scientists have the bad habit of leaving their women at home.

Françoise and I never separate.

Well, then let's go.

You're boss is very friendly.

He's aware of the favor you're doing.

It's a pleasure.

The transformer. Keep it safe.

It and it's the only one.

All is available except the stabilizer you get later.

- Am I wrong ? - No.

Tomorrow you meet a Japanese-speaking man.

He'll take care of you.

Come with your wife

so that they don't meet randomly.

Tell her he's an interpreter.

What precisely does your wife know ?

Nothing.

As usual.

I don't like her presence at all.

You bought my knowledge.

My life is none of your business.

See you tomorrow.

As soon as you know what they're up to, let us know. Understood?

Isn't it...

Don't wait for me. I have an errand.

I'll meet you tonight.

Don't interfere with my work. Leave me alone.

Don't stay here, come on.

I didn't change my mind.

I bet you didn't.

It smells good.

Everything's alright ?

- I'm alive. - You're lucky.

Because...

- Riquet ? - Dead.

Killed.

Squashed like a dog.

In the middle of the day.

I want results.

Who did it ?

No idea.

But if you continue what he started, you can find out.

It's your business.

No.

Riquet and I were not friends.

Our agreement was only business.

You know because you refused it.

Vengeance. This is a friendship matter.

- Everything's good for you. - I have no choice.

I'll be going.

Sorry for the brutality, you were followed.

You're back.

Looks like it.

Is your father okay ?

My father ?

He thinks we're at war and he's a general.

He's giving missions to my brother.

You refused to come with me to change your life.

Did you become rich ?

Almost.

You know it.

I've been lucky to meet Riquet.

You thought I should meet him too.

And when I threw this guy out, you thought he needed help.

You should have kept your luck for yourself.

You're not in a position to be moralistic.

It's not what I want !

Tell me about Riquet's death.

That's all.

Please wait a bit.

Excuse me.

He told me French-speaking hostesse are rare.

You know weird people.

Where do you live now ?

Still in front of your house.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

One of Kan's, aren't you?

I'll take a walk. You're safe here. Stay put.

Well, Mr. Kan.

It's been a while. How long will you be here?

Don't know. Depends on my partner.

Are your foreign friends here?

No. I have no friends.

-Boss, did you call? -Leave it till later. Get out.

-Some sleep when they could grab the moment. -Are you asking for interference?

It's not like we're in the same gang.

It's sound business. We've been together long.

I'll only tell you. Let's speak again.

I'm more in the know than you.

You're probably right.

I don't know why I bother him.

It's simple.

Police turn a blind eye to his business

racket, night-clubs, prostitutes... they don't care about that.

But if a stranger try something big,

a hold-up for example,

international police will poke their nose around.

Local police will have to be overzealous.

Then goodbye to Kan's peace in his job.

I understand.

- We have to hurry. - Yes, hurry.

Hello.

Hello.

How are you doing ?

Very well, thank you.

How long before you're ready ?

12 days.

- You have to be faster. - Damn ! Find someone else.

- Calm down dude. - What's going on ?

Nothing. You know everything.

You just be faster.

See what's missing.

If I forget anything, tell Mersen.

He knows where I am.

And your wife ?

My wife ?

She's alright.

Are 10 days okay ?

Okay.

If they don't discover this address.

It's up to you.

Here, the agreement with Riquet.

Watch out, he's no ordinary civil.

Van Hekken.

Show me the place Riquet were killed.

The place he...

I don't remember.

All the streets look the same.

But I'll try to find out.

Father, some tea.

Everything is ultra-modern.

There is a garden, grass, a swimming-pool.

Inside, each room is air-conditioned.

In my laboratory, I have a fridge

with all possible beverages.

There's also a cinema working all the time.

We can go whenever we want.

It's entertaining.

Actually... It's agreeable.

I'm happy for you.

Don't you dance ?

Pierre never dance.

In this case...

- May I ? - Please.

You must have a lot of free time.

Installations are temporary.

It's not very well organized.

Waiter, take this infusion and bring scotch.

- Scotch. - Yes sir.

I can tell you my timetable.

Would you be interested ?

Why not ?

You dance very well.

Are you making fun of me ?

You call that scotch ?

What have they thought ?

- It was hot, I was tired. - It's no reason.

Françoise.

- Are you coming for Pierre ? - No.

I was just passing by.

- No reason ? - No.

No reason.

The other day we talked about a meeting for...

for visiting Tokyo.

Are you sure it's today ?

You robbed the stores of Tokyo.

Wonderful.

Is it working ?

"A rolling stone gathers no moss.'

'Money can't buy happiness.'

"You dance very well."

"How long have you been in Japan ?"

" I'd love to visit the country."

It was just a try so I said nonsense.

Really ?

So... cover your ears.

I prefer Japanese women to Western women...

Really ?

It was just a try.

It's idiotic, we can't say what we think.

I'll show you my camera.

I just bought it, it's marvelous.

It works automatically.

It must be long to get your knowledge.

We can't learn much in a day.

It depends.

An unfailing steel.

You'll see, it's like Cristal.

It's hard to be sure about something.

But with science, it's different.

Normal, isn't it ?

Numbers, billions of numbers, youth of numbers.

At 20 we don't ask how much we'll be paid.

We're heading to the conquest of the world with numbers.

Then we meet a woman. She's beautiful.

Numbers are meaningless.

That's how we realize it's too late.

We try and persevere.

I've been lucky with Françoise, she's marvelous.

I'm sure she endure with anything.

I'm the one who decide.

She never ask for anything. I'll make her a queen.

She will have everything, do you hear ? Everything.

By the way, she's already close to.

She deserves it.

That's still something.

Mersen, I'd like to wipe out the incident of the other day.

Let's go out all together after diner.

No, thank you. It's impossible tonight.

Attention, 4 seconds.

Go.

Ok.

Attention, 15 seconds.

Ready ?

Go.

1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9,

10, 11, 12,

13, 14.

- So ? - So ?

4 seconds too late.

That's how we get jailed for 10 years.

-What time is it? -It's lunch time.

Lunch time already. I'm not at all hungry.

- I met with Mersen. - I did too.

Before he'd properly come to greet Father.

He'd be lucky if Father didn't give him orders.

But Mersen was also a soldier. He understands Father.

I wonder. He once said bad things about the military.

Lunch is ready.

Thank you.

These are 16-petals chrysanthemum which represent the sun.

It was emperor Meiji's emblem.

I don't care at all.

Neither do I.

Françoise.

This is the last time we meet.

What are you saying ?

Don't you tell "good evening" ?

Good evening.

After, will you leave ?

After what ?

After...

After the job.

I'll leave before.

- It's not possible. - It's very possible.

I'm trying to explain that I'm not here for them.

You haven't changed.

You'll never change.

I came to bury my friend.

Your story... isn't cheerful neither.

What's with my story ?

It's here.

I'm sure, it's the place. He was laying here.

Here.

So ?

The other day I saw Kan's henchmen.

Bunkyo ward, Morikawa.

- This is in the area before the Todai Line. - Thanks. I understand.

Here professor. Have some rest.

We'll eat.

2 days remaining.

Françoise.

Don't you show me your swimming-pool ?

You cinema ?

Your air-conditioned laboratory ?

How long have you been fooling me ?

Years probably.

Don't touch me. I forbid you.

Give me 2 or 3 days and I'll explain you.

2 or 3 days ? Why ?

Because...

Is it your last word ?

You're imagining things. What are you thinking ?

Françoise.

They are after us.

Don't show up.

I don't care about them.

Don't play dumb for God's sake !

Hello.

Aren't you surprised to see me ?

No. You can see we left all the doors open for you.

So, what do you want ?

I want to know.

He worked for a friend of mine 2 years ago.

A little job in Genève.

Do you remember a journey to Genève ?

Yes. For a congress ?

That's it.

A congress is like a diplomatic pouch.

It helps a lot.

Maybe.

The experimental device his brought from France.

He stole it.

In a research center.

He has to finish the job.

If you start telling you wasn't aware of his activities,

you won't be believed.

- Why ? - Because.

Because of your apartment in Paris.

Your wardrobe. Your car.

Your way of life, it's too expensive.

Are you sure I won't denounce him ?

You wouldn't be here.

He's gonna play a game he must win.

In 4 or 5 days he'll be in France, with your luggages.

Denounce him and he'll take as much for what he did that for what he's gonna do. So ?

I'll stop everything and never see him again.

Is it a honesty crisis ?

Be careful,

it's difficult to change one's life.

So, what do I tell him ?

I don't know.

If you stay, what would you say ?

I don't know.

I have nothing to tell him.

You should never have come to Tokyo.

Maybe.

They know we're here. Kan will come with the whole gang.

I have a surprise for him.

We're located big boss.

By the way, I saw your wife.

My wife ?

- I put her in safety. - Where ?

I'll tell you later. Pack up now.

- What do we do ? - Leave.

Bernier, Sandro will take you later with the stuff.

- See you at 9 in the Nikkatsu. - Ok.

Don't stay in this mess.

- Do you think she'll wait for me ? - She'll be home.

Where else can she go ?

She can't change her life.

If I explain her. Will she understand ?

After...

you'll be rich.

That's the best way to be understood.

I've been looking for you.

I thought of our inn lately.

- Were you followed ? - No.

Leave them...

escape.

It's kind of you to say that.

But the engineer...

You'll think it's dumb

but I regard him with esteem.

A man that miss everything,

it's too bad.

Mersen.

The bird flew away. He's gone.

But he wont go far.

His hands are empty.

Your troop is dwindling.

So ?

Nothing.

- No ? - No.

Maybe he'll come back to the inn by himself.

Is it what you want ?

Yes ?

No, nobody.

No.

So, it was drugs. It was for drugs.

Ok, thanks.

He's back.

What do we do now ?

Now ?

Go back to work.

Change nothing.

Wait for Van Hekken's decision.

Come, I walk you back home.

It's none of my business but...

but what can he do ?

He came to open an armored door in a bank.

He'll do no more, no less.

You mean... You want to go on ?

Do you think I will renounce ?

Do you think I'm a fool ?

Our friend is leaving ?

Don't abandon me.

You know Mersen,

it's easy to find someone else.

Alone with him I'll get caught.

He's mad ! Don't you see he's mad ?

What are you doing here ?

Breathing fresh air.

I think it's time.

I wanted to warn you.

Time ?

Ah !

What if I ask you to postpone this moment ?

- To the day after tomorrow ? - For example.

I refuse.

I'm doing things in order.

Riquet first.

Then you.

We never know.

You're pessimistic.

Maybe.

Well, well, welcome.

It was an agreement.

You were lucky. You won't get off lightly.

Please be careful.

- Are you all right? - Are you hurt?

Tell whatever you want I don't speak Japanese.

- You're acting like weirdo. - We're very sorry.

- That was close. We almost ran him over. - But he didn't seem American. More than...

Your act is over. Don't get involved in things you can't handle.

We have things to ask you. And your sister, too.

The night is short.

Ready ?

Ready.

Attention.

Ok.

Stop.

Attention.

- Ready ? - Ok.

Time.

This is strange. This is unusual isn't it?

Ok.

It's back. That's better.

That was strange, wasn't it? We'll have to get it checked. First time that's happened.

Time.

Ok.

Time.

What's going on today? Something's very strange.

It's fixed. Wonder what it is?

Turn around.

The night is short.

Got it.

Nice work.

Congratulations.

Merigné !

Have you ever wondered what's the wage of a banker.

No.

When I was 20

I wanted to know.

It must have increased.

Never increase the salary of the one who takes care of your money.

Precaution.

He could start loving me too.

I love spinach with cream.

But...

- I never eat it. - Well, why ?

I don't know.

I don't have to opportunity.

That's all.

Somebody goes to the transformer.

If the needle go too far cut it out or everything will explode.

- The power station too. - Ok, I'm going.

It's my last job.

I retire.

Or go to jail.

No dude, no.

I'm too old.

Destruction of an armored molecular organisation.

It's a great day for the research center.

Well done Mister Merigné.

Too bad it won't be in the newspaper.

Who cares ?

A whole life, a youth of numbers for that !

Hey, what's wrong ?

Calm down dude.

Take over your devices.

Merigné.

Mersen !

What are you waiting for ?

Merigné do something.

It must be some special steel.

It would be a shame they don't use it.

What is he doing up there ?

He's gone, isn't he ?

Why are you staying ?

I don't know.

Because...

Because I still have time.

Time ?

It must be hard to profit from this Easter egg.

You must have a buyer before.

Otherwise

it's like you have nothing.

He was the cousin of a wolf.

He had dewclaws of a wolf on his legs.

He only knew my voice and my gestures.

I talked to him. I talked to him like to a man.

Is he alive ?

No.

I killed him.

I had to quit, leave the country in a hurry.

It was a long time ago.

Such a big dog, it was impossible.

Give me a cigarette.

He'll rejoin his wife.

Her laugh.

Her wardrobe.

Her lips.

Never entrust a friend with your money or you'll have to kill him to get it back.

Bury your money.

May I ?

That's why you stayed.

Maybe you have a buyer too.

Maybe we have the same.

When we're getting older we're getting dumber. I apologize.

Nice trap.

Asian trap.

Hunters are not in a hurry.

We have to do something ! We have to do something ! Anything !

10 minutes left.

Here, take it.

It's a gift.

It's easy you know.

Go to Luxembourg duchy and ask for...

What ?

You decide. It would have helped you getting by.

You know...

Get by or not...

One day during the Korean war,

we were 150 men hiding.

For days and days we had to hold our breath.

One sound... and we were dead.

That's when...

I started shouting.

I couldn't stop shouting.

Out of 150, 2 came back. Riquet...

and me.

I didn't came back home.

I didn't have the guts to...

meet the families.

Neither could I shoot myself.

You need guts to shoot yourself.
