All language subtitles for Beautiful Prey

Help.

Inspector, are you on duty today?

The chief called me out.

Over here.

The brass gets nervous when people
like Kosaku Makimura are involved.

Makimura? Who's that?

I can tell that he's fllthy rich.

Don't you know him?

He's a famous architect.
He's done skyscrapers and such.

He even designed the Prefectural
Police Headquarters building.

Luckily, he's away on a business trip
and wasn't at home.

That's why the chief told me
to do a thorough investigation.

What's his wife's condition?

According to the cops
who were flrst dispatched...

she was only unconscious.

Her wound didn't reach the artery
under the collarbone.

But she is in terrible shock
and badly roughed up.

Inspector!

Nothing out of place in the back.

The perp must've come in
through the front door.

Right. Go with her
in the ambulance.

Offlcer! No smoking
in the ambulance.

Oh.

- Cut this.
- Right.

How'd you get that?

Pretend you didn't see it.

What?

Don't mention this to anyone.

Wrong.

You say it was like a welt.

Welts, welts.

How about this one?

That's it!

Case No. 0639603758.

This is a welt from whipping.

Whipping?

It's a wound on a female masochist
from an S&M club in Honmoku...

where she was roughed up
too bad and died.

Her body was a real mess.

Don't tell me
Yu Makimura is a masochist.

People are capable of
just about anything.

See how the room was
practically destroyed?

Her skirt was covered in semen.

A fucked-up sadist could
do something like that.

Noriko.
Take these documents to the chief.

Harbor Hospital

EXcuse me.

You should be released in
two or three days.

That's good news.

- Chanel?
- Can you tell?

Someone gave it to me,
and I tried it on.

Too much, though.

For me?

I owe you an apology.

You told someone
about my wound.

That's okay,
I flgured you would.

You are a cop, after all.

I'm sorry!

You're a nice person.

No, I'm always called an idiot.

By whom?

Well.

Oh, Inspector.

Hello. I'm Tagami,
of the Yokohama Police.

How's that cut healing up?

Mrs. Makimura, did you forget
to lock the front door?

No.

Then all the doors were locked.

The window was broken from the inside.

How did the perpetrator get inside?

Offlcer, can I trust you?

Trust me?

I won't talk to anyone about it
during the investigation.

- Even to Makimura?
- Your husband?

Sure.

I won't tell him any more
than necessary.

Noriko,
leave us alone for a bit.

But I haven't asked her about the crime
scene or the perpetrator's identity yet.

Idiot.
Just shut up and do what I say.

Yes, sir.

You're fond of her.

Pardon?
Oh, you mean Noriko?

She acts so mature,
but she's still like a kid.

Now, why don't you
tell me your story.

I'm sorry.
You must think poorly of me.

No, everybody has
their little secrets.

I suppose so.

Isn't that the truth.

The man who did this...

His name is Hosono.

Mikihisa Hosono.

Thirty-three years old.

Yu Makimura's former boyfriend.

He was busted for assault
two years ago...

and released last month.

So this loser is a sadist, is he?

Isn't it possible her husband,
Kosaku Makimura, did it?

No, he's away on business.

Anyway, those scars you saw
were fairly new, right?

It's him.

That's what you get for
marrying a young wife.

I think falling in love
in your later years is beautiful.

Oh, yeah?

You just don't understand women.

Who, me?

You don't. Not one bit.

The only thing we need to understand
is the mind of the perp.

He got his vengeance once.
Think he'll stop at that?

You think he'll attack her again?

Well, if he could be that violent...

Fool.
We'll bust him before that.

EXcuse me.
Where can I flnd Mrs. Makimura?

She's up on the roof.

Appreciate it.

I ran a background check
on Hosono.

Up until the arrest for assault,
he played piano at a bar.

He was a drug addict and
got himself into trouble fairly often.

You're digging up
some terrible memories.

He smashed a heckler over
the head with a glass of beer.

He tried to strangle a
20-year-old hostess at the bar.

And the rapes;
there's been endless talk of crimes.

How could you be attracted
to such a man?

It feels like you're blaming me.

That's just the way I am.

Sorry if I touched a sore spot.

The way you talk
doesn't bother me.

What's Hosono like?

I'd say he lives for me.

Lives for you?!

But he stabbed you,
not to mention the rape!

Don't you believe it?

I suppose someone young and
pretty like you wouldn't believe it.

I'm not pretty.

Coloring it a redder shade
would suit you.

I'm sure Tagami would say
he liked it better.

The inspector?

You like him, right?

What're you talking about?

You were smoking
the flrst time I saw you.

Yeah.
You saw me?

I like how you look
when you smoke.

It's warm.

You'll get burned.

I'm flne.

Stop it!

Are you alright?

Why didn't you pull back sooner?

You like danger as well.
Isn't that right?

No.

Yu!

Watch it, that's dangerous.

Offlcer, this is my husband.

I'm Makimura.

I'm Katase,
with the Yokohama Police.

I appreciate everything
you've done for my wife.

He hit me!

What the hell?!

Shit!

Damn it!

Damn!

Who is it?

Tagami, Yokohama Police.

Don't bother with your shoes.

I apologize,
but I had to speak with you.

Where's your husband?

He should be back tomorrow.

He's in Hakodate,
meeting with some museum people.

Does Hosono have
a driver's license?

Hosono?
Yes, he loved driving.

- Is that blood?
- Huh?

Oh, I was in an accident just now.

What happened?!

I was attacked.

Someone was trying to kill me.

Who would do such a thing?!

You think Hosono did it?

Not for certain.

But I flgured a sadist wouldn't
have any problems...

with the idea of
wiping out a cop.

The plates were from a stolen car.

So I have no proof.

I've been a cop for a long time.

But that's the flrst time
I've been attacked.

Look at me, I'm still shaking.

This is ridiculous.

Have a drink.

It might help.

Thanks, I will.

Hosono's dangerous.

You got away with
relatively minor injuries.

NeXt time
you might not be so lucky.

If something were to
happen to you...

Hosono would never try to kill me.

Why not?

He likes being cruel to me,
nothing more.

If he kills me,
he can't be cruel to me.

Your eyes...

What about them?

You look at me
like I'm disgusting.

But I'll tell you something,
Offlcer.

Don't you think perhaps we like
things that are scary and disgusting?

That's why you came to see me,
isn't it?

What are you talking about?

I'd like to take a shower.

- A shower?
- Will you come with me?

What?

I'm afraid of showering alone.

Mrs. Makimura?

Mrs. Makimura!

I'm coming in!

What's going on?!

- I'm sorry.
- What happened?!

I saw a shadow,
someone's shadow!

Hosono!

Please stay with me!

- But...
- I'm frightened!

I need someone with me.

I feel safe with you here.

That scar...

Don't look.

Just stay here with me.

Don't look at me.

That's the best way, isn't it?

What have I done?

I started it.

I'm the one to blame.

We both have families.

Then we'll make it
the flrst and last time.

Forget about me.

We can never do this again.

That's what you want?

We made a little mistake.

It'll be our little secret, right?

We shouldn't see each other again.
Don't you agree?

I asked you not to look.

Is that our sadist?

The inspector's not in yet today.

- Day off?
- No.

He must be following some lead.

I dunno, though.

He's always been a Ioner.

And here I brought him
a good clue.

- A clue?
- Yeah.

Tagami was unusually
interested in S&M, right?

I dug around a bit.

There's a lot to this S&M stuff.

Oh, yeah?

Well, it isn't something I should be
talking to a young lady about.

If it's a lead in our case,
then I need to know about it too.

Don't get your drawers in a knot.

Here's a question:

Which do you think dominates,
the "S" or the "M"?

The sadist, right?

I heard the masochist got pleasure
from being submissive to the sadist.

Nope, not quite.

The sadist's job is to make
the masochist happy.

To bring out the masochist's
carnal pleasures...

the pain cannot be either
too intense or too weak.

The sadist's real function is
to bring the masochist...

to a level of pain where
she's in absolute pleasure.

Ultimately, the sadist acts
according to how the masochist feels.

You mean
the sadist is actually working...

to bring the masochistic
woman pleasure.

You're here. You've got it.

It's not the one inflicting the pain,
but the one being punished...

who feels the most intense pleasure
and is the most selflsh.

So the masochist
is the stronger one.

Is that so.

I think the one doing
the beating is stronger.

Maybe this conversation was
too deep for you.

I came back.

Why not?

I won't betray Makimura.

I'm sorry.

Alright.

You said we'd never meet.

Yes, I did say that.

Bite it.

Bite it until it bleeds.

This isn't enough for me.

Please, do what I want.

Stronger!

Give me more pain.

Tie me up.

Good night.

Mrs. Makimura.

I've been waiting for you;
I have a favor to ask.

Did something happen?

This afternoon, my domestic help
saw a strange man hanging around.

A strange man?
You mean Hosono?

Hosono wants me
all for himself.

Are you saying he's going
to kill your husband?

My husband's coming back
from the countryside tomorrow.

When he does, we're going to
check in to a hotel.

- I'm only afraid of tonight.
- Tonight...

So I was wondering if you'd
stay at my house tonight.

Me?

There's no one else I can ask.

You're a police offlcer,
so I'd feel safer.

Alright.

Who'd be calling at this hour?

Answer it and see.

What happened?

They hung up.

Why don't I answer
if it rings again?

Someone's here.

That sound is from the weathercock
on the second floor.

Is the window open?

No, it's closed.

My maid always closes it
when she leaves.

You stay here;
I'll check it out.

Take me with you!

I'm afraid to stay here alone!

Up there.

No one's here.

Are you sure?

Everything's flne.

Your maid must've
forgotten to close it.

So you did make it here.

Kosaku Makimura flnished
his work in the countryside early...

so he came home
earlier than eXpected.

His wife had gone out to meet me.

And Hosono, who was lurking
on the grounds, captured him.

Don't you think there are
too many coincidences here?

Makimura just happened to
come home early.

His wife just happened to be out.

And Hosono, who was hiding there,
just happened to catch him.

And he happened to kill him
while we were sleeping.

Yu Makimura used me
as her alibi.

She couldn't have committed
the crime if she was with me.

The estate goes to Yu Makimura.

Obviously the criminal would
have to have something to gain.

What proof do you have?

None.

Yu's donating
the entire inheritance.

You can't be serious.

The lawyer is doing the paperwork
as we speak.

Even if she was
involved in his murder...

we don't have
anything to get her on.

Our hands are tied
until we can bust Hosono.

Inspector.

Let me question Yu Makimura
as a witness.

You?

Kosaku Makimura was murdered
because I was sleeping.

Stupid.
It's not your fault.

Makimura would've been killed
whether or not you were there.

So it made no difference
whether I was there?

Everyone has his limitations.

Even you?

Sure.

I'm full of limitations.

Listen, Noriko.

Those involved in the incident
have to be taken off the case.

You were used as
Yu Makimura's alibi.

So you're off the investigation.

No!

Chief said so.

I asked him to pull me off the case.
But he refused.

You? But why?

My heart hasn't been in it,
that's all.

Noriko.

What do you think
of Yu Makimura?

Meaning?

Doesn't she seem very distanced?

Inspector...

Forget it, it's nothing.

Hosono.

Mikihisa Hosono,
you're under arrest!

Shit!

Yu.

How embarrassing.

Would you get me out of this?

Hosono did this?

He called me.
He said to come alone.

You should've called the police.

When I hear his voice,
I feel I can't turn him down.

What?

You should stop this, Yu.

Can you get by
just living and breathing?

Me? I couldn't say...

Oh?

How sad.

I heard you were
off the investigation.

I'm on leave.

Then don't tell anyone
about Hosono.

That's not right.

I'll tell Tagami about it tomorrow.

I don't want anyone to see me
like this. It's so embarrassing.

I didn't think sadists and
masochists actually eXisted.

Is that the flrst time
you saw a woman tied up?

Don't you despise Hosono for
doing such a terrible thing to you?

Sure I do.

I do, but I can't get it
out of my mind.

Get what out of your mind?

SeX with Hosono.

I can't believe
you like him hurting you!

It's not the pain I like.

I like the feeling of
the walls coming down.

The walls?

The walls around me.

Those walls break down.

I'm not following.

Can you forget yourself
while you're having seX?

I don't have much eXperience.

Can you do things that
others might flnd embarrassing?

Can you tell a man where
it feels good to be touched?

I can't do that.

I don't want to be criticized
by someone I love.

Have you ever watched a man's penis
thrusting in and out of your vagina?

No.

I could never have seX in the light,
it's too embarrassing.

I always get the lights turned off.

In actual fact,
you have a strong seX drive.

You're just shy about people
seeing that in you.

That's not true...

That's why you make walls.

You tremble with fear
behind those walls.

Because you'll be judged
if people see the real you.

That's just not true.

Really?

Then why do you follow me?
You've been taken off the case.

I don't like to give up a job
when it's only half flnished.

Wrong.

You're not following me
because of the investigation.

This is what you're interested in.

Every time someone beats me,
my seX drive kicks into high gear.

It's very beautiful.

Ouch!

Could you forget things?

When you think, "it hurts,"
you forget everything else.

Understand?

That's why it feels good.

Walls...

Now do it to me.

This isn't good.

It's too soon.

I'm sorry.

With the murder investigation,
and the funeral, and Hosono...

I'm so tired.

Our talk can wait until tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Stay here the night.

Okay?

Yu?

Hosono!

Please...

Please whip me.

Be cruel.

Please...

Do it stronger. Stronger!

Be more cruel! Please!

Do me!

Tagami! No!

Shit!

Noriko!

Over here!

Tagami!

Hit and run.

No, it was much worse than that.

He was run over many times.
He was tortured to death.

Tortured to death...

Seems he was dead drunk.

Otherwise he would've gotten away.

We looked into the tire marks,
and it's a 4WD.

The same car that had
followed the inspector.

Hosono.

Tagami is...

I heard.

The men I love all end up dying.

When did this start
between you and Tagami?

After my husband was killed.

I asked Tagami for his support.

And before I knew it...

Put it on.

Were you in the hall last night?

What?

Tagami told me he saw you.

He was at a loss.

He was in shock,
knowing you saw him.

I gave him the drinks
to try to calm him down.

He drank so much.

It's all my fault.

It's your fault for watching us.

But I didn't know;
I had no idea it was Tagami!

Tagami liked you, that's why
he was even trembling.

We had no idea
you were watching.

I'm sorry, it's all my fault.

It's all your fault.

You're the one who killed Tagami.

Do you understand how it feels
when the man you love dies?

It's like a wind cutting
right through your body.

Like a cold wind,
slicing through you.

Right?

I'm cold.

Hold me.

Hold me.
I feel like I'm coming apart.

It's the flrst time like this.

Hosono used to work at that building
you came to see me at before.

What?!

He watched me from there
for a long time.

The place has been locked up
since my husband died.

It'd be easy to break in.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?!

Because I didn't trust you.

I'm going to that building.

Don't kill him.

Hosono was my man.

I don't want his death
hanging over my head.

I'm just going to check it out.

I'll call the station right away
if I flnd him.

- It's dangerous.
- I'll be flne.

- I'm still a cop.
- Noriko.

Be careful. For my sake.

Hosono.

What happened to your neck?!

Hosono.

Release me.

I'm a cop.

Answer me!

Even if I don't call headquarters,
they'll come looking for me.

Can't you talk?

Since when?
How long have you been like that?

Don't.

You won't get away with this.

No! Stop it!

If I don't return,
Yu will call the cops!

They'll catch you for sure!

Yu...

Hurry and call them.

The car was practically totaled.

EXcuse me.
What was the doctor's prognosis?

Her flfth and siXth ribs were
fractured, judging by the X-rays.

We won't be sure about her
head injury for two or three days.

When did you lose
your ability to speak?

She hasn't come to?

It seems she woke up once
during the night.

She didn't say anything,
and has been sleeping since.

No! You mustn't get up yet!

How many hours
have I been asleep?

You were in an accident;
it's been three days.

Three days?!
Please, you must make a call.

To Noriko Katase's house.

Don't.

Don't do it!

You won't get away with this!

You won't!

I've called a number of times,
but there's no answer.

I see.

Lie back and rest.
I'll try calling again later.

Alright.

Hosono!
You're making a mistake!

You won't get away with this
so easily!

Noriko!

I did it for you!

Murderer!

You promised
you wouldn't kill him!

Wait!

Wait!

You killed the man I love!

Murderer!

Noriko!

Noriko, get a hold of yourself.

What's your problem?

I know you're depressed,
but come back to work.

What's the point of going back?

To kill more people?

It was self-defense.

You won't be charged.
Go home.

I'm going to a hotel with
that man in there.

I'm quitting the force!

Idiot!

I did it for you!

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to do that.

- Punch me.
- I can't do that!

Hit me again.

Noriko.

Leave me alone.

I'm not going back.

He was the one who hit me,
and I looked down on him.

Masochists dominate the sadists.

Let's go back!

Let's have a good time!

What's the problem?

Yu.

Come with me.

But l...

It doesn't matter, just come.

Are you trying to get us killed?

If that's what you want.

I'll do whatever you want.

Hosono couldn't speak.

And he had a terrible scar
on his throat.

Yes.

He had an accident.

Right after he was released,
he got into a flght in Kogane cho.

The other guy stabbed him
in the throat.

It was a flght between addicts.
So it was never flled with the police.

But they still had his record
at the Kogane Hospital.

Things would've been best
if he'd died then.

He said, "I did it for you."

He killed my husband
for my sake.

He killed Tagami for my sake.

It's a curse.

It's love.

Love killed the people.

It's hot!

You said your brakes failed,
didn't you?

That night?
Yes, that's right.

Who tampered with them?

Hosono wouldn't have tampered
with the brakes.

Why not?

You like speeding in your car.

If he'd tampered with the brakes,
there'd be a chance you might die.

Hosono liked being cruel to you,
but he wouldn't have killed you.

That's true. You're right.

You tampered with your own brakes.

But I almost died.

You could have done it.

You're a good driver.

I saw that for myself just now.

You could calculate
how injured you'd get...

if you struck the wall
at a certain speed.

You were the only one who knew
I was at the construction site.

I didn't come back
from busting Hosono.

So you had to either
contact the police...

or come to the site
looking for me.

If you didn't,
you knew I'd suspect you.

But that didn't leave much time
for Hosono to rough me up.

Not much time?

I'm a cop.

I went there to bust Hosono.

But to make me lose
my sense of reasoning...

to the point where
I wanted to kill Hosono,

you had to be sure he made me
suffer over a long period of time!

Stop!

It had to be me.

A straight-arrow cop who
didn't know much about seX.

You needed a na.I. Ve woman who'd
lose control and kill Hosono...

after being raped by him and
dominated by his sadism.

That's why you whispered
his whereabouts to me!

You got yourself into that accident
on purpose to buy some time.

When the timing seemed right,
you showed up and threw me my gun.

I was out of my mind with rage,
and I killed Hosono.

You used me,
so I'd kill Hosono!

You're evil!

Prove it.

You can't.

You're right!

I'll never forgive you for this!

You don't understand a thing.

Hosono isn't a killer,
unlike you.

- What?!
- He isn't.

He didn't kill anyone.

Then who killed them?!

Tell me!
Who killed them?!

Who killed them and why?!

- Tell me!
- That hurts, that hurts!

I've waited a long time
for you to strike me.

Be more cruel...

Me?! You want me to...

Be more cruel...

Punish me.

You're not serious! No!

You were after me right
from the beginning?!

Be more cruel to me!

Hosono said, "I did it for you."

Then he looked at me.

Why did he look at me?

Right up to the moment
of his death,

he was hurting me for you.

Sadists punish
for the masochist's pleasure.

The masochists dominate.

The flrst incident was just
a game with Hosono.

If the neighbor hadn't called in,
it wouldn't have been flled as a B&E.

And we wouldn't have been
called to the scene.

Then you saw me.

That's right.

That was the flrst time
I met you.

I wanted you to do this to me.

You killed them
so I would get involved?

You killed them because
you wanted me to whip you?

No.

You killed Mr. Makimura
so that I would get involved?!

You knew I liked Takami, and
you had seX with him on purpose.

You made sure I saw you together,
then you killed him!

You made me kill Hosono,
then you call me a murderer!

I get so depressed, I think I'll die!
I'll become your partner and whip you!

Are your panties wet?

You are wet, aren't you?
I can tell you're eXcited.

Now, come to me.

You did everything for me.

I'm not such a bad woman.

Liar.

If you think it's a lie,
then go ahead and kill me anytime.

Do you think I could kill you?!

I was glad
you killed Hosono for me.

No one can understand the intense
pain of losing someone you love.

They can't taste the pain.

If the person you love dies...

you can possess them forever.
