used to have more hair.
22
00:01:07,253 --> 00:01:10,077
Anyway, back then I
was introducing obscure

foreign cult films on television.
24
00:01:12,258 --> 00:01:15,019
Which is how I was first
introduced to a bizarre
25
00:01:15,021 --> 00:01:20,175
Japanese samurai drama
titled, Top Knot Detective.
26
00:01:20,177 --> 00:01:22,430
My parents used to
watch it when I was young.
27
00:01:22,432 --> 00:01:24,550
On SBS, I would have been a kid.

31
00:01:32,716 --> 00:01:35,446
Which is, roughly,
"Deductive Reasoning Ronin",
32
00:01:35,448 --> 00:01:38,397
or, more literally,
Detective Detective Ronin.
33

Well, that's not a surprise.
35
00:01:41,913 --> 00:01:44,465
See, after just over a year on television
36
00:01:44,467 --> 00:01:46,655
the show completely disappeared,
37
00:01:46,657 --> 00:01:50,836
but not before becoming an
Australian cult classic.
38
00:01:50,838 --> 00:01:52,160
They've never released the masters.
39
00:01:52,162 --> 00:01:54,806

Oh my god, I'm invisible!
59
00:02:30,576 --> 00:02:33,129
This is all down to the
madness and the genius
60
00:02:33,131 --> 00:02:35,673
of the show's creator, writer, director,
61
00:02:35,675 --> 00:02:38,702

and answer to nobody.
64
00:02:47,770 --> 00:02:49,176

It was very hard to work with Takashi,
both on and off set.

00:37:53,845 --> 00:37:54,708
Hey, what do you think you're-
531
00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:57,565
...can do to you?
532
00:37:57,567 --> 00:37:59,776
You can die of black lung.
533
00:37:59,778 --> 00:38:00,310
Hey, what do you think you're-
534
00:38:00,789 --> 00:38:05,136
Mouth illness and exploding eyes!
535
00:38:05,138 --> 00:38:06,243
Hey, what do you-
536
00:38:06,837 --> 00:38:07,701
In Japan...
537
00:38:07,703 --> 00:38:09,786
Hey, what do you think you're-
538
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:10,799
...it's illegal for someone...
539
00:38:11,154 --> 00:38:15,419
...under twenty years of
age to smoke cigarettes!
540
00:38:15,804 --> 00:38:17,408
But...
541
00:38:17,410 --> 00:38:22,624
If you are over 20 years old, then why not
enjoy the super smooth, refreshing taste of:
542
00:38:24,501 --> 00:38:27,835
Sutaffu Menthol Cigarettes.
543

SYMPTOMS
(VARIOUS LIFE THREATENING SYMPTOMS)
547
00:38:40,684 --> 00:38:44,343
Takashi hated doing the commercials.
548
00:38:44,552 --> 00:38:49,766
He thought they were taking
The focus away from his stories
549
00:38:50,245 --> 00:38:52,331
and becoming more important
than the show itself.
550
00:39:04,749 --> 00:39:06,751
That wasn't easy.
551
00:39:07,168 --> 00:39:09,097
Lucky I was wearing my:
552
00:39:10,797 --> 00:39:12,590
SUTAFFU POMP SHOES!
553
00:39:14,463 --> 00:39:16,691
(SPLATTING)
(SCREAMING)
554
00:39:18,482 --> 00:39:21,224
I was under a very strict
contractual policy,
555
00:39:21,672 --> 00:39:25,635
and I'm sure Takashi was
under similar restraints.
556
00:39:28,554 --> 00:39:31,263
TAKASHI: Sutaffu Whale Meat!
557
00:39:31,265 --> 00:39:32,994
TAKASHI: Ahhh... Go fuck yourself!
558
00:39:32,996 --> 00:39:33,380
LEIJI: Cut!
559
00:39:33,382 --> 00:39:36,687
TAKASHI: Why did you tell me to "cut"?
No one tells me to cut!
560
00:39:37,730 --> 00:39:42,944
He also tried to slyly write stories about
his working relationship with the company.
561
00:39:45,749 --> 00:39:50,962
He was either quite brave to stand up
to them, or quite stupid.
562
00:39:52,537 --> 00:39:56,528
I am the Demon Badger
Merchant King: Mujina!
563
00:39:56,530 --> 00:39:59,001
You'll fall into line, Sheimasu!
564
00:39:59,179 --> 00:40:01,087
It's just business!
565
00:40:02,755 --> 00:40:06,686
- Fly my greedy mammals!
- Death to the proletariate!
566
00:40:07,072 --> 00:40:08,949

568
00:40:14,944 --> 00:40:18,365
Super Strike!
569
00:40:18,907 --> 00:40:22,150
Nooooooooooo!
570
00:40:23,109 --> 00:40:24,327
Hooray!
571
00:40:24,329 --> 00:40:26,047

The bourgeoise will never die!
574
00:40:33,088 --> 00:40:38,301
Towards the end of the first season,
we were under incredible pressure.
575
00:40:40,001 --> 00:40:45,214
Takashi would take the footage
home and edit all night
576
00:40:45,715 --> 00:40:47,925
before returning to set: exhausted.
577
00:40:48,186 --> 00:40:53,400
His gambling and drinking were
out of control,
578
00:40:53,702 --> 00:40:57,935
leaving little time for scriptwriting.
579
00:40:58,738 --> 00:41:03,952
The stories became more outlandish
and, in turn, the budgets blew out.
580
00:41:05,912 --> 00:41:11,126
Takashi pleaded for more money
from Chairman Koike
581
00:41:12,471 --> 00:41:16,402
which wasn't the easiest if you
knew Moritaro Koike.
582
00:41:19,801 --> 00:41:21,730
He would argue with everyone.
583
00:41:22,147 --> 00:41:26,558
Of course with myself, but also
with my father.
584
00:41:27,694 --> 00:41:31,947
He was always picking fights with
the cast and crew
585
00:41:31,949 --> 00:41:34,274
especially Haruto.
586
00:41:34,514 --> 00:41:37,162
Those two hated each other.
587
00:41:38,090 --> 00:41:43,304
Takashi's personal demons were
spilling into his work
588
00:41:46,995 --> 00:41:49,946
and it began to take its toll.
589
00:41:50,071 --> 00:41:55,284
Yes... the demons, well...
demons plague my spirit.
590
00:41:56,682 --> 00:41:59,299
Even the penis monster?
591
00:42:02,521 --> 00:42:05,805
Especially the penis monster.
("MONSTER PENIS!")
592
00:42:06,401 --> 00:42:08,486
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
593
00:42:08,808 --> 00:42:14,022
We all saw the signs,
but chose to ignore them.
594
00:42:16,806 --> 00:42:19,110
I chose to ignore them.
595
00:42:19,809 --> 00:42:25,022
That's when everything started
to spiral out of control.
596
00:42:27,462 --> 00:42:29,819
Cat. Cat. Cat. Cat.
597
00:42:31,112 --> 00:42:36,325
After he turned to the drugs he became
more easily irritated and hostile.
598
00:42:43,895 --> 00:42:44,707
Little cats!
599
00:42:44,709 --> 00:42:46,012
Little cats!
("HE LOVES CATS!")
600
00:42:48,942 --> 00:42:49,922
They're down here as well!
601
00:42:54,886 --> 00:42:59,682
His behaviour was becoming
more erratic by the day.
602
00:42:59,911 --> 00:43:04,059
He became two separate people sometimes,
603
00:43:04,061 --> 00:43:08,441
even I wouldn't know who I was talking to.
604
00:43:10,005 --> 00:43:12,090
Takashi could be quite scary at times.
605
00:43:12,528 --> 00:43:15,531
I'll fucking kill you!
606
00:43:16,073 --> 00:43:21,287
He kept a lot of Sheimasu alive
in public,
607
00:43:23,831 --> 00:43:26,636
But when we were alone, in private...
608
00:43:28,711 --> 00:43:30,963
...he was very kind.
609
00:43:32,726 --> 00:43:36,094
He was - Takashi.
610
00:43:38,325 --> 00:43:42,829
I was wrong to follow
Kurosaki's wicked ways.
611
00:43:45,739 --> 00:43:46,279
Saku.
612
00:43:46,281 --> 00:43:48,877

613
00:43:50,702 --> 00:43:51,400
I can't.
614
00:43:53,423 --> 00:43:58,376
You - you and I are bound by a
fate so cruel... Sheimasu.
615
00:43:59,075 --> 00:44:01,306
He will kill me if I try to help you.
616
00:44:01,796 --> 00:44:05,373
You must! Only together can we defeat him.
617
00:44:06,468 --> 00:44:07,396
I can't.
618
00:44:08,511 --> 00:44:10,107
But know this...
619
00:44:10,847 --> 00:44:13,350
Kurosaki is planning something evil.
620
00:44:13,892 --> 00:44:17,176
Only you can stop him for good.
621
00:44:17,479 --> 00:44:18,446
I'm too weak.
622
00:44:18,448 --> 00:44:23,662
Because you're a woman,
I understand... Fear not!
623
00:44:27,416 --> 00:44:28,281

00:44:28,813 --> 00:44:29,876

00:44:55,319 --> 00:44:56,559
You're going to need it.
627
00:45:05,110 --> 00:45:05,912
Good luck!
628
00:45:14,755 --> 00:45:16,538
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
629
00:45:19,697 --> 00:45:24,911
The relationship between
them was intensifying.
630
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,481
They would disappear for days at a time,
it was a huge inconvenience for us all.
631
00:45:35,692 --> 00:45:37,767
Tell me where to find Saku!
632
00:45:37,903 --> 00:45:39,217
I'll never tell you!
633
00:45:41,021 --> 00:45:43,054
She's up the staircase, to the left.
634
00:45:47,955 --> 00:45:49,685
I'm in quite a lot of pain.

638
00:46:04,242 --> 00:46:06,014
Where'd you go?
639
00:46:06,504 --> 00:46:08,631

We did our very best to keep
the relationship a secret.
643
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,057
Everyone at the company
knew about the relationship.
644
00:46:29,767 --> 00:46:33,957
Both Chairman Koike and
his son Haruto, had warned him,
645
00:46:33,959 --> 00:46:38,203
but Takashi could never
keep anything a secret.
646
00:46:39,444 --> 00:46:44,657
So when the press found out,
they weren't too kind to Miss Matsumoto.
647
00:46:46,669 --> 00:46:49,618
The photos were published
in "Thursday Magazine"
648
00:46:49,620 --> 00:46:52,048
I saw the same pictures every day,
649
00:46:52,050 --> 00:46:55,387
reprinted in other tabloids
and in newspapers.
650
00:47:01,491 --> 00:47:04,175
If you think Western pop
stars are getting exploited,

then J pop stars are
getting completely fucked.

you're not marketable.

So when the photos that were linked
to the scandal were released,
664
00:48:00,149 --> 00:48:05,363
that was the opportunity my father saw
to reel Takashi back into line.

called the press conference.

01:06:14,793 --> 01:06:17,766
Our top story tonight; dramatic scenes
881
01:06:17,768 --> 01:06:20,664
at Sydney airport where a drug smuggler
882
01:06:20,666 --> 01:06:25,774
has been detained with a large
quantity of amphetamines.

01:06:28,518 --> 01:06:31,479
(SCREAMING)
He touched my penis!
885
01:06:33,648 --> 01:06:35,827
They couldn't deport me
even if they wanted to.
886
01:06:36,443 --> 01:06:39,652
I never gave them my real name
887
01:06:39,654 --> 01:06:44,409
and thanks to the fake passport,
they didn't know who I really was.
888
01:06:44,923 --> 01:06:46,325
He's pretty weird.
889
01:06:46,327 --> 01:06:48,015
I guess you could say he's honorable.
890
01:06:48,017 --> 01:06:50,069
I don't even understand him
half the time when he speaks.
891
01:06:50,071 --> 01:06:52,300
Bloody subtitles would help.
892
01:06:52,302 --> 01:06:53,635
A little Chinese or something,
893
01:06:53,637 --> 01:06:55,946
I don't know what he's saying these days,
894
01:06:55,948 --> 01:06:57,816
but, you know, but
that's alright, I guess.
895
01:06:57,818 --> 01:07:00,452
He seems like a nice guy to me.
896
01:07:00,454 --> 01:07:05,399
It was much better to stay here, than to get
deported and face the legal system back in Japan.
897
01:07:16,274 --> 01:07:18,816
TIMESTRYKER: Sheimasu! If you alter
the past in any way
898
01:07:18,818 --> 01:07:20,902
you will cause a time
paradox in the future!
899
01:07:20,904 --> 01:07:21,790
SHEIMASU: Got it.
900
01:07:22,979 --> 01:07:24,751
YUMI: Be careful.
901
01:07:25,367 --> 01:07:27,546
I understand, I will use:
902
01:07:28,411 --> 01:07:31,748
DEDUCTIVE REASONING!
903
01:07:32,509 --> 01:07:33,979
- TIMESTRYKER: Idiot!
- YUMI: Idiot!
904
01:07:41,747 --> 01:07:42,809
Stop, pervert!
905
01:07:42,811 --> 01:07:46,586
Oh no, you... you're the great
Detective Sheimasu!
906
01:07:49,151 --> 01:07:54,185
MASTER: Soon my accomplice in crime,
Kuroaski Itto, will arrive
907
01:07:54,187 --> 01:07:59,401
and together we will plot to take over
Edo with my clan of robo-ninja.
908
01:08:00,683 --> 01:08:05,897
Hopefully my stupid fool of a pupil
doesn't find out...
909
01:08:08,608 --> 01:08:12,518
Master! How could you?
You're the villainous mastermind?
910
01:08:12,653 --> 01:08:13,717
Sheimasu?!
911
01:08:14,447 --> 01:08:16,989
You were not meant to overhear my...
912
01:08:16,991 --> 01:08:22,205
Plans! You conspired against the Shogunate
and the good people of Edo
913
01:08:24,332 --> 01:08:27,460
all in the name of endless riches
and unlimited power,
914
01:08:27,804 --> 01:08:29,700
all of which you...
915
01:08:29,702 --> 01:08:32,880
...you planned to frame
me for in the future!
916
01:08:32,882 --> 01:08:33,798
Err... and now...
917
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,720
And now! Sheimasu... you will DIE!?
918
01:08:38,189 --> 01:08:41,130
Die... err... yes...
919
01:08:41,244 --> 01:08:43,518
Never. NEVER!
920
01:08:45,426 --> 01:08:46,644
DES: With his father's murder
921
01:08:46,646 --> 01:08:49,122
and Sutaffu facing
imminent financial ruin,
922
01:08:49,124 --> 01:08:52,900
Haruto Kioke, the first
of the family name,
923
01:08:52,902 --> 01:08:56,393
immediately took over as
the new company chairman.
924
01:08:56,395 --> 01:08:58,635
He then commenced an
aggressive restructure
925
01:08:58,637 --> 01:09:00,699
of Sutaffu's commercial properties;
926
01:09:00,701 --> 01:09:04,452
in particular, Ronin Suirai Tantei.
927
01:09:04,883 --> 01:09:09,262
Haruto arrived on set and told us all that
we were no longer employees of Sutaffu.
928
01:09:09,815 --> 01:09:14,768
We were to finish our work for the day and
take all of our personal belongings home.
929
01:09:15,435 --> 01:09:19,178
The crew weren't even offered positions
on any future Sutaffu production.
930
01:09:19,564 --> 01:09:24,600
Essentially, we were blacklisted.
931
01:09:25,622 --> 01:09:27,364
How do I put this?
932
01:09:28,761 --> 01:09:31,232
The decision was
completely out of my hands.
933
01:09:32,689 --> 01:09:34,483
DES: Sutaffu immediately revoked
934
01:09:34,485 --> 01:09:37,007
all international TV licenses,
935
01:09:37,009 --> 01:09:40,364
recalled all of its
master tapes and took back
936
01:09:40,366 --> 01:09:43,961
all of Takashi's
intellectual property rights.
937
01:09:43,963 --> 01:09:47,862
The show effectively vanished overnight.
938
01:09:48,729 --> 01:09:53,942
The decision to erase all of our archival
material was a personal one for Haruto.
939
01:09:54,735 --> 01:09:59,177
He destroyed Takashi's legacy.
940
01:10:00,313 --> 01:10:03,900
My father treated Takashi like a son.
941
01:10:04,474 --> 01:10:07,195
I was the only son he ever needed.
942
01:10:08,436 --> 01:10:10,083
Takashi was a coward.
943
01:10:11,335 --> 01:10:15,472
True, we argued a lot.
944
01:10:15,474 --> 01:10:20,688
But Moritoro said he always
respected men with ideas.
945
01:10:23,253 --> 01:10:28,466
We had plans for three more
seasons, fifty episodes each.
946
01:10:28,831 --> 01:10:34,045
It was a huge project.
We wanted to astound the audience.
947
01:10:36,474 --> 01:10:41,083
Those were the stories we wanted to make.
948
01:10:41,375 --> 01:10:45,264
(SCREAMS INCOHERENTLY)
949
01:10:45,452 --> 01:10:50,666
I still haven't given up writing.
950
01:10:53,168 --> 01:10:58,382
I occasionally put on plays
with the other inmates.
951
01:11:07,364 --> 01:11:09,007
I wouldn't get up there and do that.
952
01:11:09,009 --> 01:11:10,658
Whatever tickles his boat, you know?
953
01:11:10,660 --> 01:11:13,866
Oh... Su-ta-ffu!
954
01:11:16,014 --> 01:11:21,227
You have... destroyed... my... LIFE!
955
01:11:28,568 --> 01:11:33,782
You... killed... my... CHILD!
956
01:11:42,815 --> 01:11:44,857
I do what I can.
957
01:11:44,859 --> 01:11:47,648
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
958
01:11:47,650 --> 01:11:50,119
He's alright, as long as he
doesn't fuck around with me.
959
01:11:50,121 --> 01:11:51,818
He's not caused me any grief.
960
01:11:51,820 --> 01:11:54,175
Or we can step out in
the yard and have a smash
961
01:11:54,177 --> 01:11:56,281
if he wants to, I'm not really fazed.
962
01:11:56,283 --> 01:11:57,835
I've seen a lot of nasty people
963
01:11:57,837 --> 01:11:59,795
come through this prison over the years
964
01:11:59,797 --> 01:12:03,864
and he just doesn't fit the bill.
965
01:12:07,346 --> 01:12:10,183
Huh? Someone approaches!
I must go and hide.
966
01:12:30,682 --> 01:12:32,945
The old fool killed himself?
967
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:34,916
No matter.
968
01:12:35,114 --> 01:12:40,327
Now it is I who controls our syndicate of
robo-ninja and prostitute assassins.
969
01:12:45,228 --> 01:12:47,282
I'm the killer?
970
01:12:59,649 --> 01:13:01,036
Ah-hah!
971
01:13:02,224 --> 01:13:04,320
I solved the case!
972
01:13:05,676 --> 01:13:09,096
I don't think he's capable of murder.
973
01:13:09,951 --> 01:13:11,181
He was...
974
01:13:12,505 --> 01:13:16,165
...too much of a coward to be able
to do such a thing.
975
01:13:16,572 --> 01:13:20,928
The police reports state that Chairman
Koike was murdered in his office,
976
01:13:20,930 --> 01:13:24,528
and that someone "cleaned up" the crime.
977
01:13:24,903 --> 01:13:30,117
Now, the Chairman was paranoid,
he had security cameras everywhere...
978
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:35,758
The security tapes revealed nothing
of importance.
979
01:13:35,914 --> 01:13:40,585
There was no way that Takashi
could "cover his tracks".
980
01:13:41,107 --> 01:13:43,588
The man was barely able to stand most days
981
01:13:44,079 --> 01:13:47,447
let alone plan a complex crime!
982
01:13:47,738 --> 01:13:52,952
His escape from Japan is evidence enough.
983
01:13:55,350 --> 01:13:55,913
No.
984
01:13:57,811 --> 01:14:00,053
He could never do such a thing.
985
01:14:01,148 --> 01:14:02,868
He was an incredibly kind person and,
986
01:14:04,735 --> 01:14:09,948
regardless of what anyone else says,
I know he didn't do it.
987
01:14:11,554 --> 01:14:15,276
There is no way that Takashi would
murder Chairman Koike.
988
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,967
He wasn't that type of person.
989
01:14:19,656 --> 01:14:22,208
INTERVIEWER: Is
there anyone else at all
990
01:14:22,210 --> 01:14:27,424
who had access to the office,
the costumes or the weapons,
991
01:14:27,570 --> 01:14:30,758
who would maybe want to hurt your father?
992
01:14:32,679 --> 01:14:33,785
What do you think?
993
01:14:35,974 --> 01:14:40,020
And I just let him walk out of here.
994
01:14:40,489 --> 01:14:42,053
Err...
995
01:14:51,917 --> 01:14:56,901
Alas myself, there is only space enough in
this timeline for one Sheimasu.
996
01:14:57,506 --> 01:15:02,428
A detective so virile
and handsome as myself!
997
01:15:02,761 --> 01:15:06,265
So now, for the both of us,
998
01:15:06,578 --> 01:15:09,299
I will finally make Kurosaki see justice!
999
01:15:09,852 --> 01:15:10,634
I understand.
1000
01:15:11,218 --> 01:15:14,450
You were always better than me.
1001
01:15:14,909 --> 01:15:17,420
Go to Kurosaki's homestead,
1002
01:15:17,422 --> 01:15:19,413
there you will find him.
1003
01:15:19,966 --> 01:15:20,717
Thanks, me.

Oh, sweet child, I understand your tears.
1016
01:16:26,230 --> 01:16:31,444
The true folly of man is how justice
can be so easily corrupted.
1017
01:16:36,178 --> 01:16:37,940
Daddy?
1018
01:16:38,785 --> 01:16:39,909
Wake up!
1019
01:16:39,911 --> 01:16:41,350
He's finally dead!
1020
01:16:41,642 --> 01:16:43,706
He can no longer hear you.
1021
01:16:44,843 --> 01:16:46,834

(ELECTRIC ZAPPING)
1023
01:17:03,226 --> 01:17:05,165
No, Sheimasu.
1024
01:17:05,989 --> 01:17:08,354
Not even you can be kept safe from:
1025
01:17:08,356 --> 01:17:10,368
THE FUTURE!
1026
01:17:22,641 --> 01:17:27,854
When you're in a place like this,
you lose who you are.
1027
01:17:30,180 --> 01:17:31,650
You become forgotten.
1028
01:17:33,308 --> 01:17:38,448
But, "Ronin Suiri Tantei"... that,
1029
01:17:39,387 --> 01:17:41,649
that's my legacy.
1030
01:17:43,485 --> 01:17:47,749
That story is my pride and joy.
1031
01:17:49,449 --> 01:17:54,662
I did anything to become famous,
to spread that joy to the people.
1032
01:17:57,593 --> 01:18:02,806
I've done many stupid things in my life
and I regret a lot of them.
1033
01:18:06,925 --> 01:18:10,553
But, I've never killed anyone.
1034
01:18:11,534 --> 01:18:12,806
I never killed anyone.
1035
01:18:15,736 --> 01:18:19,727
Sheimasu would never run from a fight.
1036
01:18:19,729 --> 01:18:21,815
He would always face his enemies.
1037
01:18:23,556 --> 01:18:26,861
That is how I want this
story to finally end so...
1038

It's time to go home.

Coming up on world news;

01:18:36,465 --> 01:18:39,904
have begun today for Takashi Takamoto.
1041
01:18:39,906 --> 01:18:42,677
The Japanese national who has come forward

to face charges in Tokyo
in one of the country's

most high profile unsolved murder cases.
1044
01:18:50,166 --> 01:18:53,959
Takamoto had been hiding
out in an Australian jail

for the last 15 years.

01:19:13,742 --> 01:19:18,955
Guilty.
1052
01:19:21,291 --> 01:19:23,668
He always wanted to
become "world famous" and,
1053
01:19:25,910 --> 01:19:28,506
in the end, he finally
got what he always wanted.
1054
01:19:29,612 --> 01:19:31,770
He always did.
1055
01:19:35,419 --> 01:19:39,038
Do you ever fear that your
fame might be slipping away from you?
1056
01:19:39,695 --> 01:19:42,447
What do you think is worse:
1057
01:19:44,022 --> 01:19:45,867
Being dead?
1058
01:19:48,099 --> 01:19:49,027
Or being forgotten?
1059
01:19:56,482 --> 01:20:00,173
December 9th, 2014 - Takashi Takamoto is
charged with first degree murder.
1060
01:20:00,226 --> 01:20:04,376
No legal appeals were
lodged against his sentence.
1061
01:20:06,044 --> 01:20:09,349
April 8th, 2015 - Takashi
is executed by hanging.
1062
01:20:09,495 --> 01:20:12,436
He was 54 years old.
1063
01:20:20,047 --> 01:20:23,499
I can't return to the past
1064
01:20:24,385 --> 01:20:28,285
and so I just try to hold on to
all of our fond memories
1065
01:20:29,703 --> 01:20:33,519
as I move into the future.
1066
01:20:36,825 --> 01:20:41,298
We had a very long friendship.
1067
01:20:44,103 --> 01:20:49,316
Err... I still think about him, a lot.
1068
01:21:09,701 --> 01:21:12,389
TRAVIS: Look, objectively it's a
terrible show.
1069
01:21:12,391 --> 01:21:14,089
The acting's really shitty.
1070
01:21:14,091 --> 01:21:15,653
The production base is subpar,
1071
01:21:15,655 --> 01:21:17,697
there's lots of continuity errors.
1072
01:21:17,699 --> 01:21:19,209
The whole thing doesn't make any sense,
1073
01:21:19,211 --> 01:21:21,320
but that's what's beautiful about it.
1074
01:21:22,391 --> 01:21:24,037
When you watch a lot of media,
1075
01:21:24,039 --> 01:21:27,676
watch a lot of movies and TV,
you get bored, you get jaded.
1076
01:21:27,678 --> 01:21:30,136
You're seeing the same
stuff over and over again
1077
01:21:30,138 --> 01:21:32,681
and you're praying for
some kind of weirdness,
1078
01:21:32,683 --> 01:21:34,860
some kind of real lunacy
that'll just grab you
1079
01:21:34,862 --> 01:21:37,873
and shake you up and
show you something new.
1080
01:21:37,875 --> 01:21:38,939
That's Top Knot.
1081
01:21:42,755 --> 01:21:44,630
DES: In a sea of clamshells,
1082
01:21:44,632 --> 01:21:47,675
Top Knot Detective is a pearl.
1083
01:21:47,677 --> 01:21:49,499
It might be rough around the edges
1084
01:21:49,501 --> 01:21:51,324
and not as pretty as the others,
1085
01:21:51,326 --> 01:21:53,712
but it's a fan favorite nonetheless
1086
01:21:53,714 --> 01:21:56,924
that has lost none of its original shine.
1087
01:21:56,926 --> 01:21:58,154
It's a true cult hit, man.
1088
01:21:58,156 --> 01:22:00,333
It's the show that wouldn't die.
1089
01:22:00,335 --> 01:22:01,795
The fans have kept it alive.
1090
01:22:04,256 --> 01:22:05,661
It's the gold standard
1091
01:22:05,663 --> 01:22:08,034
of shitty 90's Japanese B cinema.
1092
01:22:10,408 --> 01:22:14,022
Plus, it's not like some
asshole's ever gonna remake it.
1093
01:22:14,024 --> 01:22:16,891
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
1094
01:22:29,646 --> 01:22:32,513
SHEIMASU: Deductive reasoning.

(CACKLING LAUGHTER)
1096
01:22:48,754 --> 01:22:50,418
Sutaffu.

(ENGINE REVVING)
1099
01:23:23,823 --> 01:23:26,777
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
1100
01:23:27,026 --> 01:23:28,246
Hey, Sheimasu!
1101
01:23:28,569 --> 01:23:30,580
The journey of a thousand miles begins
with a single footstep but,
1102
01:23:30,582 --> 01:23:33,918
my motorbike has ROCKET BOOSTERS!
1103
01:23:35,107 --> 01:23:36,940
Truth, justice and rock 'n roll!
1104
01:23:36,942 --> 01:23:38,579
JUST DO IT!
1105
01:24:04,209 --> 01:24:07,650
The path of justice is like a woman.
1106
01:24:09,829 --> 01:24:12,843
Confusing, difficult,
1107
01:24:13,343 --> 01:24:16,513
annoying, sexy,
1108
01:24:17,681 --> 01:24:22,894
but ultimately violent and full of death,
destruction and madness.
1109
01:24:27,138 --> 01:24:29,630
My love has been taken from me.
1110
01:24:30,392 --> 01:24:32,904
My enemies greatly outnumber me.
1111
01:24:33,561 --> 01:24:36,272
Some might call that number: Infinite.
1112
01:24:36,804 --> 01:24:40,923
Like my stamina in the
bedroom and during combat!
1113
01:24:42,153 --> 01:24:46,814
But this is the path I
must choose as a ronin.
1114
01:24:47,617 --> 01:24:51,746
my adventures will be
remembered throughout time
1115
01:24:52,466 --> 01:24:57,679
as I fight for justice
and, I do it all with:
1116
01:25:00,359 --> 01:25:05,573
DEDUCTIVE REASONING!
1117
01:27:53,924 --> 01:27:55,219
And there you have it.
1118
01:27:55,221 --> 01:27:57,440
Next time, join me for a look at
1119
01:27:57,442 --> 01:28:00,631
a classic Italian giallo
slasher soap opera
1120
01:28:00,633 --> 01:28:02,560
starring mute pygmy ponies from
1121
01:28:02,562 --> 01:28:04,791
the Amazonian rainforest who have
1122
01:28:04,793 --> 01:28:07,304
an unquenchable thirst for human blood.
1123
01:28:07,306 --> 01:28:09,995
It's called, My Little Italian Stallions
1124
01:28:09,997 --> 01:28:12,862
and I just know you're gonna
love it as much as this.
1125

From the world's foremost auteur
1131
01:28:29,595 --> 01:28:33,143
in equestrian erotic horror, Antoni Oni.
1132
01:28:33,145 --> 01:28:35,334
Now, in monkey vision!
1133
01:28:35,336 --> 01:28:36,823
(SCREAMING)
1134
01:28:36,825 --> 01:28:40,089
Alejandro Jodorowsky calls
this film 'unwatchable'.
1135
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:45,718
Antoni Oni's best film since
Troppo Caldo Al Trotto.
1136
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,680
Nothing compares to the cinema
experience?

Prepare yourself for My
Little Italian Stallions!
