"THE FANG IN THE HOLE" "Screenplay by Atsushi Yamatoya Based on a story by Takao Tsuchiya" "Music by Kazuo Sugita" "CAST" "MAKOTO FUJITA as Officer Ken Togura" "JUNKO INAGAWA as Miyuki" "YOSHIO HARADA as Shida" "Directed by Seijun Suzuki" ""Bar Kurara"" "Please help me." "Just for tonight." "I can't." "Do you have another man?" "No, but I still can't." "Then it's over for me." "Have you seen my face in the papers?" "Somehow, I knew you would come to me." "How?" "I just knew it." "That's an ominous sign." "I've only been here a few times, and yet you knew." "Can't you turn yourself in?" "Don't be stupid." "Do you have an apartment nearby?" "I live here." "Then lets go to a hotel." "I want to hold you for a little while." "Are you sure of it?" "Harue!" "I'm going out for a little!" "Come here a minute!" "We'll come through the back." "Good." "What have you done, Harue?" "Shida!" "Don't move!" "You betrayed me!" "Is he dead?" "Is he really dead?" "You killed him?" "Murderer!" "How are you feeling, Ken?" "Not great." "You'll probably keep feeling that way for awhile." "What on earth is this?" "Oh, I see." "The bullet went in and out of the same hole!" "How astonishing!" "What?" "In other words, it ricocheted in his skull and went out the same way." "That's impossible!" "It seems impossible, but it's the only explanation." "Ken, come have a look at this!" "Here's his heart rate." "Is it done?" "Not yet." "The hostess seems to have suffered from extreme hysteria, so they've sedated her." "You can't really prepare for this sort of thing." "Would you like to lie down for awhile?" "Sounds like I have a phone call." "Hey Murakoshi, about that guy Shida..." "What about him?" "Never mind." "It isn't important." "Hey." "Get up." "It's me." "I've come to see you." "Togura!" "Shida just died!" "Togura!" "Was it a dream?" "Well?" "There's no mistaking it." "It's definitely Shida." "He certainly looks pleased with himself." "How odd." "I heard he used to chop his victims into pieces." "But just think of all the information we could have gotten if he'd been taken alive." "I'm very sorry." "What's this?" "That's the bullet hole." "Shida, a Yakuza Foreman and Killer, Shot to Death" "Veteran Police Officer Kills Yakuza In One Shot" "HOSPITAL" "Shall I carry your bag for you?" "Are you sure you're ready to be discharged?" "We don't want to do anything rash." "He was cremated yesterday." "A relative brought a box for the ashes." "You resent me, don't you?" "Not really." "It's a relief to hear that." "Let me carry that for you." "Why do you keep insisting?" "Have you taken an interest in me?" "That's ridiculous." "In that case, let me walk alone." "You're going that way?" "Goodbye." "I have something strange to ask." "Did he come by your bedside at the hospital before he died?" "What on earth are you asking?" "He's dead, isn't he?" "How could he visit me while he was getting operated on at the hospital?" "Don't say such strange things." "Never mind, then." "I feel badly for putting you through this." "Let me treat you to something good." "This is delicious!" "Don't you like meat, officer?" "No, it isn't that..." "Oh, you're observant for the funeral." "But that has nothing to do with me." "I don't think about the dead when they're gone." "Are you upset?" "Not at all." "Then why that outburst?" "It's as if I can still hear him talk to me." "Maybe he's just lonely." "Who is this horrible man?" "It's delicious!" "You're very generous, officer." "I think I'd like a drink." "That's a good idea." "Good-for-nothing!" "Small-time yakuza!" "Were you planning to sell me out?" "What did you want me for?" "Cockroach!" "Stay dead!" "You died!" "It's over!" "Good night." "I'm going now." "Let me go." "No." "I'm frightened." "Frightened?" "Is he here?" "Not that way!" "Behind you!" "Stay by my side, please." "Hello, this is the Togura residence." "It's me." "Oh." "It doesn't look like I can make it home tonight." "I'm tied up with work." "Not even to sleep?" "It doesn't look like it." "Are you there, Shida?" "If you have something to say to me, then say it!" "Mr. Togura!" "Don't surprise me like that!" "Please let me stay." "I don't mind that, but how did you get in here?" "Miyuki's been discharged." "I see." "Behaving strangely at all?" "I'll let you judge that based on what you see." "I was asking about her, not you." "You've been drinking too much, so you can't follow me." "The world is a strange place." "Customers I know suddenly seem to change." "It's especially true when alcohol's involved." "Some people become detestable if they drink." "Why haven't you fixed that yet?" "Oh, does it remind you of that night?" "So?" "Why not?" "What's wrong?" "I feel as though he's come back." "You mean, as a ghost?" "Don't joke about that!" "You said you'd consulted a priest about him." "That's a lie." "He just used a box from a relative." "It's just her." "You surprised me!" "He just used a box he got from a relative." "[The police station is presenting Harue with a reward for helping them catch Shida]" "He came again last night." "You're exhausted." "Maybe you should take a vacation." "It's so cruel how you pursue, then reject me." "Always staring at me like that." "My heart is in so much pain." "What are you saying?" "Please." "Help me." "My head has been hollowed out." "The bullet is in the chair I was sitting in." "Take it, or it will keep floating in my head." "Please." "It's over." "Harue!" "What is it?" "What is that?" "I don't like it." "When did it appear?" "I don't know." "Please get me Officer Togura." "It looks like 15 million yen was stolen, but we should double check the details with Hoshi." "We're quite certain that one of the culprits is Isamu Furuta." "He'd left the area last month, but he was seen nearby on the day of the incident." "It seems that there were three witnesses." "They told us that one man was driving a white car, but there was also a man wearing sunglasses sitting next to him." "That's the accomplice." "The owner of Kurara Bar is calling for you." "He's on a case right now, so you'll have to try back later." "I understand." "He cannot come!" "I'm done with your case." "That's a Tokyo plate." "Found any fingerprints?" "You seem to have lost your initiative." "It seems the owner of Kurara called you again." "I don't know what it's about exactly, but Miyuki needs to see you to tell you something." "There's been another death." "What?" "The accomplice killed Furuta and fled alone." "How do you know that?" "Just a hunch." "Instinct?" "Looks like she came." "I thought you'd come." "Why?" "Somehow or other..." "It isn't just that." "Shida told you, didn't he?" "He's still inside you, isn't he?" "Why is he still after me?" "What are you talking about?" "I don't understand at all." "He's inside of you." "I want to talk to him." "Let me reason with him." "What are you worried about?" "I have a family." "In another ten years, I'll be able to retire and live as an old man." "Please!" "What do you say?" "Answer me!" "Hold me." "I'm lonely." "Hold me!" "I can't get rid of it." "No matter how much I wash it, it won't go away!" "Sorry to call you out here when you're so busy." "That's okay." "I needed a break." "You're working on that murder case at the agricultural cooperative, aren't you?" "I'm not really supposed to talk about that." "You sure have tight lips." "Isn't it true that you killed that yakuza with a single shot?" "Are you carrying that gun now?" "Yes." "It's right here." "May I see it?" "Why not?" "Oh, so this is it?" "Ken Togura!" "Ken Togura!" "I'm in a dark hole." "I'm rotting down here." "But I can see where you live from here." "What's wrong?" "Are you all right?" "You've gotten weak." "You should take a rest." "I'll do that." "Officer, here!" "What's this?" "Something you left behind." "What on earth are you talking about?" "Just look inside." "I can't carry those things around for you." "I'll look after them for you." "Thank you." "What's wrong, officer?" "I'm feeling sick to my stomach." "That sounds rough." "There's a public restroom at the park." "Let me off there." "Oh, Mr. Togura." "Restroom." "Give it here." "No." "Come on!" "No!" "You shouldn't have left it out here." "Give it here." "He's always like that." "He'll appear suddenly at the bar when I'm out." "I was hiding the dirty photographs he'd brought." "And then..." "Suddenly it was as if his personality changed completely." "Then he knocked me on the ground..." "He was so cruel!" "Please help me, officer." "At least make him pay for the medical bills." "Hmmm...." "I don't know." "That doesn't sound like Togura." "When he came in, his trousers weren't buttoned, and his white shirt was pulled out from his pants." "Really?" "Yes." "I'm sure of it." "That doesn't sound like Togura." "But I saw it!" "It was just as I said!" "You hold a grudge against him, don't you?" "What do you mean?" "You're still upset that he killed Shida, right?" "It shocked me at the time, but I'm not still bothered by it." "There's no way around it." "You're going to have to retire." "We've received an official complaint." "You'll still get your retirement pay and pension." "This whole affair hasn't been good for us." "Your behavior was thoughtless." "I understand." "I will do as you say." "Miyuki, open up!" "Miyuki, why did you say those things about me?" "No matter how much I scrub it, it won't go away!" "Will you try washing it for me, Mr. Togura?" "Well, it's over, Togura." "We tried arguing in your favor, but you see how it turned out." "The three of us got together, and decided we wanted to do something for you." "How about this evening?" "Thank you." "Let me pour you a glass." "I'm empty." "Pour me another one." "Come on." "You'll need to be strong, Ken!" "I understand your feelings about this, though." "A good detective loses his head over a woman." "Happens all the time." "Is that what you think happened?" "She was the one who kept coming after me." "We've gotten you something we think you'll like." "What is it?" "Open it and see." "KEN TOGURA" "I didn't realize you were left-handed." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." "Miyuki!" "Miyuki, this is the last time." "I can't chase after you any longer." "Serves you right." "Who's there?" "If you don't stop, I'll shoot!" "What the hell are you doing out here?" "The... money... is... under... the... tree..." "Oh good, you're okay." "Dear!" "Oh, it's you." "Bring me a cigarette." "You caught the criminal from the agricultural cooperative murder case!" "Good ol' Togura!" "Unfortunately the criminal you caught, Koji Nagai, died from his injuries in the hospital." "His name was Koji Nagai?" "That's right." "He had five million yen in his pocket." "We still don't know where the other ten million are." "Anyway, you'll be asked for an official statement." "Isn't it wonderful?" "An official statement?" "This is bullshit." "I didn't take that extra money." ""RETIRED OFFICER" STUBBORNLY CONTINUES CASE Criminal Koji Nagai Dies in Chase" "Some of the loot still unaccounted for..." "Where is it?" "The money is in the park buried under the big tree" "It's here!" "Take the money!" "Take it, quickly!" "I've stayed with you so that I may see the moment of your death." "He's been hiding inside you all along." "No way." "KEN TOGURA" "I must have dropped it at the park." "Dear!" "EXCAVATIONS FOR CONCERT AT THE PARK AMPHITHEATER BEGIN AT 10 AM" "He's been working inside you all along." "Who is "you?" Who do you mean?" "Miyuki." "Her?" "Guess again." "Is this the Togura residence?" "Yes." "This belongs to you, doesn't it?" "Your husband's name is on it, after all." "Yes, that's right." "I'm very sorry." "The dog seemed to pick it up somewhere." "He always seems to dig things up that don't belong to us."
