"Here's Princess Suga!" "I've only seen Ginza through the window of a police van." "BAD BOYS" "Based on the book 'Wings That Cannot Fly'" "While this film was shot using documentary techniques, the story and characters depicted herein are fictitious." "We are deeply grateful to the young people who cooperated with the making of the film." "Cinematography:" "Mitsuji Kanau Sound Mixer:" "Tetsuo Yasuda" "Assistant Director:" "Noriaki Tsuchimoto Music:" "Toru Takemitsu" "Written and Directed by Susumu HANI" "You are Hiroshi Asai, 18 years old." "According to the police, needing money, you planned a robbery with Yoichi Shibata and Manji Ohno." "On April 30th 1959, at around 1pm, you went to the Ohki pearl shop in Ginza, attacked the shopkeeper, making him momentarily blind, grabbed eight rings and two necklaces and escaped." " Is that correct?" " Yes." " Don't you have a fixed residence?" " No." "At the police station, you said you were born in Tokyo in May, 1942." "In 1945, your father died in the war." "Your mother lives by selling fish." "Her life is very hard." "You don't live with her." "You finished middle school and worked in a factory." "You got tired of the job, started loafing around..." "Shucks!" "Will he ever stop?" "!" "Is your statement correct?" "I'm sending your case to the Family Court" " He acted impulsively." " He says they made him mad." "He has a volatile character." "What're the test results?" "His "Gestalt" tests show unusual responses." "Very puzzling." "Give him some quiet time to rest." "I bet they're drawing every phony conclusion about me." "Do you know Asai?" "He committed the crime with your son." "He's the bad one!" "I told my son not to see him anymore." "Apparently he ignored your advice." "Asai won't leave him alone." "It just isn't like my son to do a thing like that." "I'm interested in the relationships between these boys." "Asai is the youngest." "Is he the leader of the group?" "Judging from the witness testimonies, there is little doubt Asai is the main perpetrator." "Go easy with the engine!" " I need your jacket." " Don't get it dirty." "I'll buy you as many jackets as you want." "Because I can do anything." "Even rob a bank." "I'm counting on you." "Are you afraid of something?" "You're in on this!" "You can't go back now!" " The pepper?" " It's in here." "This shop makes me mad." "I'll pick out the expensive pieces and snatch them." " Don't let them catch you." " I won't!" "I'll keep the engine running." "He's shaking his hips!" "He'll make a fool of himself" "Stop the thief!" "Catch the bike!" "I miss the streets!" "I wish I got out soon!" "Those were the days!" "Once it takes a bite, it'll never let go." "Have you seen a snake's teeth?" "It has 74 upper and 72 lower teeth, all inclined inward." "It bites into the flesh." "Will anyone put a finger in its mouth?" "You can use it as a necklace!" "It's cool, isn't it?" "With this, you can get on a packed train or bus." "Wave it if you want to get a seat." "Very simple." "Don't throw it in a fight - it'll cause injury." "This can be a weapon." "You look like a real tough boy." "You scare me." "Does it do any tricks?" "Certainly, this is a very smart snake." " Does it bite?" " Sure it does!" "If you don't treat him right, that is." "You've got to hold him gently." "Like this." "Gently!" "It's love that counts." " That guy's wearing an odd hat." " And a scarf, too." "Let's make fun of him." "Let's teach him a lesson." "You want a fight?" " This is bad." " I'm sorry." "Who do you think you're talking to?" "I can handle them on my own." "Kids these days are hopeless." "They aren't as strong as they look." "They ran away like girls." "We can count on you, Asai." "I'm bored stiff." "The girl's winking at me, and I keep missing the target." " That's the way it is." " It never falls." "They've got to pay taxes." " Look!" "He's a cop." " You're crazy!" "He isn't a cop." "But he is." "I know him." "I know a lot about cops- He's eating a 50 yen dish" "Huh?" "Cops aren't supposed to be drinking on duty" "He isn't a cop." "Don't make me laugh." "But he is." "I'll ask him." "That guy in there, is he a cop?" "Yes." "Juvenile." "Don't be silly!" "You don't know what you're saying." " I know about cops best." " No, I know better"." "He looks sharp." "That's how cops look." "I'll bet anything." " Is he after something?" " Maybe he's just hungry" "He can't afford square meals." " Cops live on low salaries." " That's why he's thin." " I'm bored stiff." " Me, too." "Is there anything fun?" "Look!" "A nice girl over there." " Pretty!" " She has nice hips." "I'll pick her up." " She's got a guy;" " An old guy, huh?" "At his age!" "Why such an old guy?" "Wow." "She looks happy" "Girls love money" "Boring." "Those rich guys are crowding us out!" "I'll show you something exciting." "Money?" "I've got some." "Give me that." "Come on, don't be stingy!" "It'd better be good!" "Is it money after all?" "I'll make you forget about money." "Is this all you've got?" "What are you doing?" "It's nothing." "Can't you stand the sight of blood?" " What's the idea?" "!" " You're bleeding a lot." "Don't ask questions." "Just follow me." " Where are you going?" " Just follow me." "Don't run away." "I'm after a guy who just went in there." " Can you let me in?" " No, sorry." "You won't let me in?" "You'd better change your mind before I kill you!" "Will you come with me?" "Excuse me." "A visitor for Ohno." "I bet it's his old man, with some food for him." "Your father is worried and says he won't see you." "Why do you go on hanging about with a bad boy like Asai?" "You're a good boy." "It's all his fault." " Will they let me out?" " Don't let this happen again!" "Can I go?" "Yes." "It's been arranged." "Shibata's father's also worried." " Never hang around with Asai!" " Alright." "Thank you, teacher." "Shibata's out, too." "Everybody's getting out." "Except me." "Sit down." " Your name?" " Hiroshi Asai." "Hiroshi Asai?" "I heard your father died long ago." " Have you seen your mother recently?" " No." "Don't you write to her?" "What do you think about what you did?" "And tell me what you are going to do about your future." "I want to go straight from now on." "I don't want to punish you." "I'm going to give you a chance to allow you to prepare for a respectable future." "Is he letting me out, or isn't he?" "That's at!" "I want to know." "In order to pave the way for a decent life you must undergo rigorous training." "Therefore, we're sending you to a special reformatory." "Stop fooling me!" "I promised to behave when I got out." " This is for you." " Don't fool me!" "Sure!" "I love reform schools, you fool!" "Give the bowls back." "Come on, new boy" "Show yourself?" "Where do you come from?" "Tie your soap ration to the string." "I know you have a cake of soap." "Give it to me." "This is no place for a green horn like you." "Do what I told you!" "Not done it yet?" "He makes me mad." "You'll regret this!" "Asai!" "You must sit upright!" "You're slow." "You've got to know when the teachers come." "Hey!" "Is this your first time?" "You've got to learn to be more sensible." "You'll be sorry moron." " Do you have the time?" " Are you free?" "She's stuck up." "Are you busy?" " You blew it." "Yes, you did." " No, I didn't." "Don't be a sore loser!" " It was a cheat." " It was fair and square." "Alright." "I'll pay UP" "Come on, pay it off!" " You've changed." " I haven't." "You have." " One more game?" "For money?" " I'm not a gutless wonder!" "You'll be sorry." "You're a cunning guy." "Don't be a bad loser!" "Come on." "What's keeping you?" "You blew it!" " You did!" " I didn't." "Now, give me the money." "I will." "I'm sorry." "You aren't what you used to be anymore." "Because you've changed." "I haven't." "You used to be nicer with your friends." "This is a bet." "Alright, I'll pay." "Are you satisfied?" "I always pay my debts, don't I?" "Salute!" "As you were!" "Salute!" "Raise your hand." "As you were!" "Put more spirit into it!" "Don't try to do it cleverly!" "Raise your head!" "Ohmori, put more spirit into it!" "Do it right!" "Start counting!" "More loudly!" "Listen!" "I'll tell you why the training is so hard and vigorous." "Your bodies are too soft, because of your undisciplined lives." "You're members of a group now." "You must work hard." "Now that you're here, you must work hard, be new men!" "Try to be as good as the boys who've been here before you!" "I work you hard, so you learn to adapt yourselves to law and order." "Do your best!" "Don't be so down." "Now isn't the time for that." "Cheer up." "Shout!" "Get it all off your chests, whatever it may be!" "Shout!" "You're all fools!" "There's no reply" "Let me out of here!" "Let me out of here!" "You're all fools!" "I'm hungry!" "Help!" "A folding table, sir?" "It's too difficult for you." "But we could use one..." "Use a couple of strong hinges here and here." "That will do it." "Alright." "Tidy up." "You're on your way to the mess hall." "Line up!" "Count!" "All safe and sound." "Forward march!" "We're having hamburger steaks today." "You know what to do, new ones." "They want our shares." "It makes me mad." "It's you, Debari?" "!" "I didn't know you were here." "I followed you!" " When did you come?" " Yesterday." " Need something?" " No, not yet." " What are you doing?" " I'm coming." "See you." "I'll help you." "Hey, Asai." "The steaks were good." "I'm sorry for the new guys, I bet none of them had any." "You're new here, so you don't know that." "I do know!" "The old boys take the new guys' shares." "I don't like that." "But they'll beat you up." "Let them." "Alright..." "If that's the way you want it." "After a month of training, I was put on a practical course..." "Laundry" "Hurry up!" "I told you where to make your bed!" " Do it quickly!" " Did you forget it?" "You're too slow!" "Did you tidy up there?" "Can't you do it more quietly?" "Take this over there." "Quick!" "What are you doing?" "Our room is the slowest." "Hey!" "Why are you sitting there?" "What are you doing?" "I've got something nice." "Have a look." "Cool!" "Incredible!" "What a nice shape!" " Hey!" " I'll show it to them." "Have a look." "Pleased?" "Do you want to see it, Asai?" "I'll let you see it." "Take a close look." "Can you see it?" "Don't you want to see it?" "Sulking?" "I'll give you a crack." "Hey, Yanase!" "Don't do that for today." "You can do it tomorrow." "Roll call!" "Attention!" "Bow!" "The laundry group, eight members." "Good night!" "The instruction department wants you, teacher." "Hey..." "Give Asai a workover." "Finish them off." "Hurry up!" "I mean those clothes." "You're sloppy." "Do it again." "Quick." "Be serious." " Must you pick on me?" " Do as I told you!" "Asai, don't you get it?" "I don't." "Why?" "Think it over." " I didn't do anything." " Is that so?" "Maybe you have to learn it the hard way." "Are you going up against us?" "Come over here!" "Stop it, please." "Shut up!" "Don't be cheeky!" "I'll look out for the teacher." "Come here!" "Don't have a smart mouth!" "We'll take care of you." "Face forward!" "Should I make him do it?" "Don't ask me every time!" "YOU can COUNT on me." "You have a cute face." " What should I do?" " Ask your forehead!" "Don't you know what you should do?" "You'll run when I hit you." "Go!" "Do it like this, with your forehead." "Come here." "Try again." "Do it with your forehead." "Can't you do it?" "Try again." " Hello, teacher." " What is it?" "We've been waiting for you." "Is the meeting over?" "Can't we go for a swim yet?" "I'd like to swim soon." " You talk too much." " It was earlier last year." "Are you all right?" "The cut's open." " I'm all right." " Really?" "Hey!" "Be quiet!" "I heard they talk to the girls." "Pick up one of those girls to get information." "They often embezzle their company's money and don't tip off the police." "Playboys can't make a living by using muscle alone anymore." "You'll need to use your brain." "You can't survive if you only fight and get caught." "It'd be best to find something they want to hide from the police, and then blackmail them over it." "I wonder how old!" "was then?" "I was always hungry" "I found a piece of bread in an unoccupied can" " No, thank you." " Buy these, please." " Buy these." " No, thank you." " What are you doing?" " Nothing." "Will you buy these?" "You're selling sunglasses?" "Let me see." " How do I look?" "How much?" " Just 100 yen." "Just 100 yen?" " Here you are." " Thank you." " Where do you come from?" " From over there." "You're modest." " Do you live alone?" " Like that." "That's hard..." "It hurts!" "She was nice..." "Where's she now?" "Why was she nice to me?" "When can I get out, teacher?" "The laundry group is in such a mess." "Is it?" "Can't you wash them faster?" " Can you hang out the laundry?" " Sure." " Our group leader is unfair." " We all hate him." "I'll have a crack at him." "He knows karate." "So what?" "!" "We can handle him." "I'll have a crack at him." "Come here." "What do you think of our group leader?" " We can't say." " Don't worry!" " We can handle him." " He has friends." "We can handle them." "They outnumber us." "What?" "Something's wrong." "What's that?" "They're wet." " Share the rest out." " Thank you." "This isn't very good." "Go away." "You're not wanted here." "New boys nowadays are silly." "I told you to go away." "Other group leaders are nice to their boys." "But you're not." "We want fair treatment." "Don't we?" "Be nice to us." "Some nerve you've got!" "Are you kidding?" "Greenhorns have no right to talk like that to us." "We have as much right as you have." "You're driving me crazy!" "Don't run away, you fool!" "You're defying me?" "You must obey me, new boy!" "Stand up!" "Come on, Asai!" "Stay out of this!" "Stand up!" "Stop it]" "I'm really mad." "Here are Asai's records." "As you know, Asai is not very happy in the laundry group." "You're the one in charge." "What do you think of him?" "Well... he works hard, does what he's told to do..." "But he doesn't get along too well with the other boys." "Maybe it would be for the best, not only for him, but for the others also, if we change his occupational training course." "They're stuck up." "They don't care about me." "Hello." "This is Asai." "Well, Asai, how do you like it here?" "Have you done any wood work?" "A kennel, for instance?" "Alright." "I'll give you the pointers." "The members here made these playpens." "They're strongly built." "You can learn to make them in no time." "First, you must learn to polish the material with sandpaper." "Put some muscle into it." "Put more muscle into it." "Yes." "Turn it over." "I heard you fought the laundry group leader." "That wasn't a fight at all." "He chickened out." "He does karate." "That's nothing." "I was giving him a right hook..." "What sort of attitude's that?" "Fighting a group leader doesn't make you a hero." "Will you fight me?" "What a sulky face!" "Are you making a fool of me?" "Gather around, everyone." "Sit on the floor." "Hey, Asai." "Come here." "Have a seat." "Asai." "Congratulations, my friend." "You're now a member of the Furniture Group." "Welcome." "You've come to the right place." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "Even the stool you've just broken was imported from Paris." " Really?" " Really." " He still doesn't know, after a decade here." " No kidding!" "Do you see those bureaus over there?" "The romantic, pink bureaus." "Each of them will be an item in a bridal trousseau." "I used to be in love with a girl." "Whenever I'm lonely, I look at the bureaus..." "And call her name." "Yoshiko..." "No, not Yoshiko." "Keiko's her name..." "You will do your best here, won't you?" "This is Asai, our new man." "Please, be nice to him." " Hello." " Welcome." "And this shabby-looking man..." "is Ohkuma sensei." "His nickname is Badger." "You talk too much." "But we all respect him." "This is Tsuchiyama." "He hates bread." "Stick with him and you can eat his bread." "He's Fujikawa, our group leader." "He's quite an artist." "At least, he calls himself an artist." "He doesn't make anything of practical value." "He's thin." "He scrapes his own bones." "I like it here." "This is a very very friendly group." "I wonder what Debari is doing now." "Smoking, I suppose." "Hey." "Are you doing well, Asai?" " Thank you for that time." " No problem." " Don't fight often." " I won't anymore." " Here's some powder." " Thank you." " Take care." " Thank you." "You, too." "See you." "Hello." "How's it going?" "So-so." " He's a good pitcher, isn't he?" " He piches sidearmed." "I want to talk to Asai." "How's everything?" "I'm fed up." "Bored stiff." "Don't be a fool!" "You've got to learn to stick it out." "Lovely view!" "Judging from the way you talk, you're still a child." "A child?" "Are you making fun of me?" "You blow your top too soon..." "So, you're a child." "Go ahead." "Fight." "That'll show you're still a kid." "You must think hard." "You've got to grow up." " Have you had any women?" " Sure." "I've had women." "You have?" "I used to live with a girl before I came here." "We lived together, a girl and four boys." "She was nice." "We weren't really living until she joined us." "It was like recovering from an illness." "Stop it now or you'll get a crack from the leader." "I don't care about him." "I'll continue the story." "We lived by extortion." "We always needed money" "It was difficult, picking a safe spot for our racket." "It didn't always go well." "Where will it be?" "Senju, perhaps." "It's risky." "We were there only a few days ago." "Still, that's a nice location." "Take your glasses off." "Take a knife with you." "Could be rusty." "We've got to make some money." "Good evening." "Where are we?" "You've got to pay us to pass through here." "Didn't you know that?" "Stop it!" "What's the big idea?" "!" "We're collecting a toll." "Sit down here!" "We hate to impose on your generosity, but we're broke." "We were just released from jail." " I'm just a poor salaryman." " Are you?" "You're well-dressed." "Have a smoke." "Come on!" "Why don't you?" "Don't give me the brush off." "Now, you must pay for the cigarette." "Is that all you've got?" "!" "I'm sure you have a lot more." " You must pay more." " I've got no more." "Can I take your word for it?" " Say, that's a nice watch you've got!" " Please, not the watch!" "You've taken all my money." "Not the watch!" "Please!" "Please!" "That watch means a lot to me." "Wait." "I'll give you something nice." "You've got more!" "You shouldn't have tried to cheat us." "I'll take the watch, too." "You've taken all my money." "Not the watch!" "Please!" "Why did he have to keep shouting about his watch?" "He spoiled all the fun." "When we returned, the girl was gone." "We knew she'd have to go someday" " Come this way." " What do you want?" "We need some money." "I work during the day and go to school at night." "What's that got to do with us?" "!" "I'm a poor student." "I'm supporting my parents." "I know, but..." "We need money." "You should help a person who is in trouble." " I don't have any." " Yes, you do." "You must know what you have to do." "It rained yesterday." "We're starving." "300 yen, that's all I have." "What have you got in there?" "Please!" "Please!" "It took me a whole month to earn it!" "You're a rich boy, 6,000 yen!" " Ouch!" " What's wrong?" "You out my hand!" "That'll teach you not to struggle!" "Did you have to out my hand, too?" "I can't live without that money." "Don't say it in such a sad voice." "Please, give me it back!" "Your voice depresses me." "Wait, please." "I did it like mad, but it was always very depressing afterward." "I was unable to get out from under it, after all." "Let it be a lesson to you." "Don't be a hoodlum like me." "This is a good place to start correcting yourself." "We'll be friends as long as we're in here, but, once you get out, you must never see me again." "What are you talking about?" "Asai." "He used to be like you once." "Hey, Kinoshita!" "It's Naito!" "Kenzo!" "Where are you?" "Show yourself?" "I'm over here, bro!" "I'm here!" "Your girl sends her love." "How is Keiko?" "Fine." "Everything's fine." "I'm getting out soon." "Please tell Keiko!" " I'll tell the boss, too." " Please tell him to wait for me!" "Easy, my boy" "May I work on this?" "Go ahead." "We had a recreation day before I got out." ""Feed us more pork!"" "The people outside would be amazed to see this." "Look at him!" "Today is special." "The teachers let us do whatever we want." "We can run riot endlessly" "I wonder how we're going to end up..." "But that's nothing to worry about." "Attention!" "Right about face!" "I know you're tired." "I'll let you have a rest." "At ease!" "At ease!" "At ease!" "You don't lie down." "Debari looks desperate." "He'll still be here after I'm gone." "Catch him!" "What's your name?" "Why did you run away?" "I'll speak out for you." "Mr. Superintendent, please discharge us as soon as possible!" "Congratulations, Asai." "You're starting out afresh, as a decent citizen." "It won't be easy." "Jobs are hard to find these days." "But I trust you'll do your best and stick it out." "Whenever you're in trouble, consult your welfare officer." "Will you promise me that?" "I wish you the best of luck." "Here are your wallet, comb, knife and underpants." "You had 225 yen when you came." "And another 320 yen." "That's your earnings here." "Check the amount and put your seal on the document." "Thank you for everything, teacher." "Thank you!" " THE END" " Subtitles revised by quaisnord Proof-reading:" "lordretsudo"
