"Directed by Hideo GOSHA" "Your wife is gorgeous!" "Give it back!" "Motherfucker!" "You can leave it to us, can't you?" "Show me!" "Bastard!" "Do you want us to be jealous?" "Bastard!" " Stop!" " Get lost!" "Stop!" "Tell me, you'll be released in 2 or 3 days, won't you?" "It was a close one." "You'd be dead if he had stabbed you here." "You should be careful." "I like the look of you." "You must have a woman waiting for you." "Tell me, what if we left somewhere?" "What about your bar?" "It's not a problem." "The girls can replace me." "I'm gettng tired of their christmas and their "Long live the wind" song." "You're in a bad mood." "Of course." "You won't walk me back home anymore soon." "Why not?" "Don't play the innocent." "I've heard you're engaged to your director's daughter." "Who told you that?" "It doesn't matter." "I took care of you and you're ditching me." "Did you intend to marry me?" "I never promised you to marry." "And I never asked for this money." "Yes, you're right." "But I want some as a farewell present." "I'm nothing to you!" " Stop it!" " I hate you!" "Shigeo Hamada, 37 years old, and his 7 years old daughter?" "Yes." "They both died recently." "The father was a barber in Suido district." "Being so young and a widow, it's terrible..." "What a tragedy." "I have a message from the boss." "He wants your resignation letter dated from last week." "An employee causing an accident with our new car is bad publicity." "Your passenger got your redundancy money and the assurance's money went to the victim." "She said that you owed her this money." "The director was furious to learn about it." "Your engagement with his daughter is cancelled." "Cheer up." "Personally, I have to convince the reporters to keep quiet." "Are you done?" "Can we take the bodies?" "The bodies?" "What bodies are you talking about?" "This man is my husband!" "This child is my daughter!" "I'm really sorry." "I understand your feelings." "You understand?" "Do you know what I lost?" "Madam, please calm down." "Calm down..." "Calm down?" "Calm down?" "I want to see the one responsible for that!" "Madam!" "What are you good for?" "Isn't your work to prevent accidents?" "Bastard!" "You killed them!" "You killed them!" "And you killed me with them!" " No!" " Madam, I'm the one..." "Forgive me." "I'll never forget her face." "You couldn't indemnify her so you ended in jail." "It's hard." "Don't you have a family?" "My father was a small civil servant." "He used to work in a shabby office." "He was always bowing down to others and died without ever protesting once." "The poor man..." "He was spending the little money he earned for my education." "He wanted me to fulfil his dreams." "It wasn't easy to seduce the director's daughter, being a plain employee." "I had to compete with many rivals." "This woman isn't the only one who lost everything." "Me too..." "Tell me, Oida." "Do you have a place to go to when they'll release you?" "Sentenced for a double murder and failure to report an accident." "Who will hire me with such a résumé?" "Listen." "I've got a proposition." "I can put you back on tracks when you'll get out." "Are you ready to follow me?" "What will I have to do?" "No..." "No question." "Are you ready to follow me with your eyes shut?" "That's all I want to know." "If you agree then go directly to" "Oiwake's night club in Akiba when you'll get out of jail tomorrow." "And there, ask for Utako." "You know, Oida, life is made of gambles." "Right now, I just gambled on you." "And by deciding to meet Utako or not... you're gambling on me." "Don't forget." "Utako, Akiba district." "There's a temple in Matsushima Archipelago called the Zuiganji." "What a wonder!" "Tell me, Utako!" "What?" "He's my customer." "Don't you know there are some rules to respect?" "Nothing is forbidden in this world." "We only live once." "We must do whatever we want." "Don't you agree Mr. Susu?" "So that's it?" "Alright, Utako." "Then I can do whatever I want." "What?" " What are you doing?" " Utako!" "Shut up!" "Come here." "Try to steal this customer if you dare!" "Bitch!" "So?" "Do you still want to take care of him with this face?" "What are you doing?" "Teruko, he's leaving." "See back to him." "Mister Susu!" "Wait!" "Utako." "I want good looking women, not professional wrestlers." "Damn it..." "Utako!" "Quick!" " Here, your share." " Ok." "She even wants our tips." "She's got some nerve!" "You bet!" "Don't drop it in the pan." "You're stupid, Utako!" "Poor boy..." "Go ahead, eat to your heart content." "Are you Utako, from Oiwake night club?" "You're a sensitive person." "Will you be nice to me?" "Get inside." "I taking my break." "I'm sorry." "Were you thinking about your fiancé in jail?" "Who are you?" "A friend of Sengoku." "Prove it." "Alright." "How is he doing?" "Utako!" "Let's talk somewhere else." "Prison is good." "Men remain faithful!" "Tell me." "Since Sengoku gave you this I can trust you." "You won't betray us, will you?" "200000 yens, for your transportation expenses." "What am I supposed to do?" "Here are the names and adresses you must visit." "Motoki, Umegaya, Fuyujima." "Do I bring them back here?" "You kill them." "You'll get 15 million, 5 million for each one of them." "Who are they?" "Sengoku probably told you to not ask questions." "Once we'll be rid of them," "Sengoku, you and me, will be able to live happily." "Did you understand?" "We're all condemned to death." "We'll all die someday." "Are you Motoki?" "Yes." "And you?" "I have to talk to you." "What do you want?" "Do you know Sengoku?" "Sengoku..." "Where did you meet him?" "In jail." "I saw." "You're cellmates!" "You scared me." "Is he in good shape?" "Yes." "In great shape." "I thought you had been sent to kill me." "How is life in prison?" "He's smart." "I'm sure he's doing well." "Do you have a message for me?" "He'll get out soon." "In 7 days, won't he?" "Yes." "Is it his message?" "What imbecile..." "We've been waiting for this moment for so long." "Well, what about talking about all this with something to drink?" "Really?" "Sengoku is making desks and shelves?" "He's really doing that?" "This rascal?" "!" "Motoki, you look great." "Yes." "In 7 days, these bills won't mean anything to me anymore." "I'll come here to party the whole night." "Tell me, Oida." "Did Sengoku mention the money?" "No." "Of course." "He had no reason to do it." "Motoki." "There's a lucrative business behind it." "I want to be part of it." "Don't ask questions." "You've got nothing to do with it." "Where are we?" "Where are we?" "San Francisco?" "Los Angeles?" "New-Orleans?" "Tell me, Oida." "Men's destiny is weird, isn't it?" "The hunter can become the prey at any time." "Would you believe me if I told you I was a cop?" "Seeing you reminded me of the prison's atmosphere." "Old memories coming back." "I was 21 or 22 years old." "Back then, I was a cop with a promising future..." "Moron!" "I told you not to call me!" "Do you want to make a fool out of me?" "But..." "Do you know?" "My husband will get out of jail." "I got a letter." "You knew it, did't you?" "What shall we do?" "It's obvious." "We have to part since he's coming back." " My love!" " No!" "We're too close to the police station." "Get away!" "Go back home!" "How can you..." "Everything is over." "My choice is made." "Toyoko!" "Toyoko, wait!" "Please!" "No!" "Let go of me!" "Let go of me!" "Pitiful, isn't it?" "A cop having an affair with the wife of a gangster..." "It's a serious offense." "We finally ran away together." "And then my troubles started." "I started to lose control." "Really..." "I wonder how I managed to not put an end to my life." "It's all to my credit." "God damn it..." "Oh shit!" "I forgot some important things." "What?" "Earlier," "I forgot a bag and my lunch box." "I'll get them for you." "Really?" "Sorry..." "I can't walk." "Stay here." "Don't move until I come back." "Ok?" "Sorry!" "Sorry..." "You and me" "We're like cherry flowers" "Blooming at the same time" "In the garden of the air academy" "The blooming done" "We're ready to fall..." "You were fast." "Are you Motoki?" "Yes, it's probably you." "We met 2 years ago in a tramway depot." "No." "You've got the wrong person, I'm not Motoki!" "No!" "I'm not Motoki!" "No!" "Then why are you running away?" "Damn..." "You got me..." "At last we meet, two years later." "You underestimated us." "We always find people, even 5 or 10 years later." "Good evening!" "Sir, we must have... forgotten something." " Here!" " Thank you." "Sir!" "Be careful that he doesn't fall in the canal." "A drunken guy drowned there once." " Thank you." " See you later!" "Stop lying." "It's the truth." "I was just there to give a hand." "Who is your boss?" "We'll spare you if you tell us his name." "Well..." "It's Umegaya." "He's working at the Monaco, a strip-tease night club in Motoido." "Motherfuckers..." "Motoki!" "Motoki!" "Who did that?" "Oida, please..." "Take this money and go to the Asahi building, in Horie district." "Someone is waiting for me there." "Motoki!" "Hang on!" "Tell Umegaya that I'm sorry." "And tell Sengoku... that I didn't talk." "So he must keep his promise too." "Sengoku," "I didn't betray him." "Stupid!" "Sengoku wanted me to kill you." "Damn it..." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die now..." "Tomoe!" "Motoki!" "Now that's embarrassing." "He's leaving us with a heavy burden." "Just take her to an orphanage." "Don't say such things!" "Poor kid..." "So you'll take care of her?" "I can't." "I already have 3 kids to raise." "Tell me, Tomoe, do you really have no family?" "Don't you have relatives in the countryside?" "You're really all alone in the world?" "A gift from your father." "How much longer are you going to follow me?" "Go back to your home." "You'll get lost." "Go back to your home." "Just my luck..." "Go get a balloon." "I'll wait for you here." "Miss..." "Where is Umegaya?" "You're not allowed to go inside!" "Are you Umegaya?" "Who are you?" "Don't you remember me?" "We met 2 years ago." "It's coming back to you," "Umegaya." "What's going on?" "What do you want?" "What's the meaning of this?" "What do you want?" "Provoking the Gold Dragon gang?" "I've got a favor to ask you." "Go behind the scenes of this cabaret and tell Akemi that I'm waiting for her at the amusement park." "You're nice." "Thanks." "Miss, where does Umegaya live?" "Ask her." "They live together." "Follow Akemi and you'll find him." "Really?" "Akemi..." " Two guys?" " One of them was carrying an umbrella." "The other had a white coat." "Weren't they yakuza?" "We're from the Gold Dragon." "We heard there was a problem." "Who are those guys?" "Where did they go?" "That's enough!" "Stop nattering and go look for them!" "Watch if anyone goes behind the scenes." "No one must get involved." "We got a lead." "We'd better go." "Sorry." " Good evening!" " Good evening!" "Are you Akemi?" "Umegaya..." "Again?" "He's not here." "Even if he were I wouldn't say it." "Why?" "Two weirdos started a mess." "Weirdos?" "They were two." "One of them had an umbrella." "Umegaya ran away." "Does he have debts?" "Do you want me to take care of him?" "No need." "Who are you to Umegaya?" "A college buddy." "Umegaya went to college?" "Unskilled road worker class?" "Or a phony college to be a postman?" "Come on, let's go." "Uncle!" "Is Akemi here?" "It's me." "A man is waiting for you at the amusement park." "A man?" "How does he look like?" "He's like that..." "I see!" "It's Umegaya." "Wait!" "Umegaya will be in trouble if you go out." "I'll go." "But..." "Don't worry." "I'll keep you informed." "Really?" "Come." "Wait!" "I'll be at the Mekong after 10 pm!" "Sorry but the park is closed." "I know." "Are you Umegaya?" "Why?" "Akemi sends me." "Why didn't she come?" "It's dangerous for her to go out, isn't it?" "She's waiting for you at the Mekong at 10 pm." "And..." "I have another message." "Which one?" "Motoki..." "He says he's sorry." "Motoki?" "Did you see him before he died?" "Yes." "It's his daughter." "Really?" "The poor child..." "He must have been worried to leave her." "He won't be the only to die." "I'm in their line of sight too." "Umegaya, I offer you a deal." "A deal?" "An exchange of information." "I have one... that might save your life." "What do you want to know?" "What you did 2 years ago." "I can't tell you that." "For her own sake too." "My father... had a criminal record." "Me and my mother suffered for only 65 yens he stole." "I've never thought about anything since I'm born." "I accept everything people offer me." "And after it's impossible to stop the spiral." "So... for once, I'd like to be in control." "I love this woman." "Akemi..." "She's my only reason to live." "When I'm holding her in my arms," "I really feel like... being at the right place." "I can't stop loving her, even when she's moaning." "I'm not very brave but I'm the only person she has." "I get emotional." "Don't ruin my happiness." "Leave without questions." "It's a bit too late, isn't it?" "Some people don't intend to leave you alone." "I'm not worried." "I'll escape." "In 3 days..." "In 3 days we're leaving the city." "We'll organize private strip-teases." "What's gonna happen in 3 days?" "Stop with your questions." "Why did you come?" "Wasn't it for Motoki's message?" "Why did you come?" "Are you here of your own free will or does somebody send you?" "She's flying to your assistance." "Let's talk quietly." "Follow me to the Mekong." "Hi!" "Hi!" "Umegaya, the manager is furious." "Why?" "There was a blank during the show." "Akemi isn't here." " She's not here?" " Is she deceiving you?" "Umegaya, it's annoying..." "Wouldn't Akemi danse at the Crown before coming here?" "Hell no!" "She must still be at the Monaco." "I phoned." "She left." "She must be at the Crown." "No, it's impossible." "I'll go look for her." "My friends will wait here." " Where are you going?" " I'll be right back." "You're so pretty!" "Come to me." "I'll take care of the dad!" "How are you doing, Natsuko?" "Fine." "Customers aren't allowed in here." "I don't care!" "You might be disappointed." "Go back to your place." "No!" "No!" " M. Sawamura!" " Stop!" "M. Sawamura, stop bothering her!" "Stop it!" "Let's go over there." "Natsuko, you're as white as a sheet." "Don't worry." "I'll get some fresh air." " Takao!" " What's going on?" " Is Akemi here?" " No, she's coming after the show." "Umegaya!" "You'll deduct it from her pay." "You've got some nerve..." "Umegaya, phone!" "Hello?" "Umegaya?" "Meet at the purification station." "I'm with Akemi." "You have 10 minutes." "How far is it?" "About 7 minutes by car." "7 minutes?" "Damn it..." "Can you tell my friend at the Mekong?" "Umegaya!" "What do you want to talk about?" "Pay me as any customer if you want to talk." "Pay me and I'll do whatever you want." "Madam..." "How can I be forgiven?" "Forgiven?" "You..." "Do you want to get on a bike and me to kill you with a car?" "Alright, let's do that." "I could kill and steal to get my husband and daughter back." "I'd like to kill you!" "It's like nothing happened." "You killed two persons but you're already out of jail." "I envy you." "Yes..." "There might be no comparison with what you lost, but, when it happened," "I ruined my life." "I'm also a victim." "If we compared what we both lost," "I think we'd get to the same result." "Who is the one to pity the most?" "We'll never have the answer." "We should put an end to our grudges." "Yes..." "Can you consider it?" "You might be right." "But for me, nothing..." "Is there a friend of Umegaya here?" "Yes, in the basement." "It's me!" "You?" "What's going on?" "He had to go to the purification station." "The purification station?" "Where's the money?" "I don't have it!" "If I had it I wouldn't let my wife do some strip-teases!" "Then give us the names of your accomplices." "Motoki, Umegaya and who else?" "How many were you?" "It won't work with me." "I like to argue." "I never follow orders." "I won't give them away." "Is that so?" "So, Fuyujima and who else?" "Ume, forgive me!" " I talked." " Akemi!" "You told me this name one day when you were drunk!" "Imbecile!" "They said they would kill you!" "That's why I told them!" "It's not important!" "I didn't want them to kill you!" "It seems she spoke the truth." "Fuyujima is working at Nomura's boxing gym." "Ume, forgive me!" "I'm sorry!" "Fine." "You're right." "You're the only one..." "I'd give my life for." "Let her go." "You might not be satisfied with this information but I don't know anything else." "Don't wait for me." "I'll talk to them a little longer then I'll join you." "Ume!" "Return home!" "Return home, I'm telling you!" "Akemi!" "Akemi!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "My love!" "My love!" "Umegaya!" "Tell Fuyujima... they're looking for him." "He's at Nomura's boxing gym, in Motomachi." "Umegaya!" "I told we would leave the city." "I was right..." "MEKONG CLUB" "Good evening." "You're still waiting for him?" "We can't rely on him." "Where is your home?" "I don't have one." "Really?" "Where do you sleep?" "At the hotel." "I see..." "You must be cold." "We'll wait for him in this restaurant, ok?" "He told me not to move from here." "Is that so..." "Thank you." "Uncle!" "Thank you." "Madam!" "Thank you!" "Thank you, madam!" "A body found in the canal." "Murder?" "Accident?" "A couple murdered at the purification station." "Robbery?" "Revenge?" "Damn it..." "There's only one day left..." "You'll be released tomorrow." "I'll prepare our trip and I'll wait for you at the bar." "Noon, is it ok?" "How is Oida doing?" "He's doing great." "There's only Fuyujima left." "So Fuyujima will die..." "Today." "Fuyujima, someone named Motoki wants to see you." "After you." "It's not him!" "But he..." "I didn't lie." "Her name is Motoki." "Tell him your name." "Tomoe Motoki." "It's his daughter?" "Don't let anyone come in." "Ok." "Are you Fuyujima?" "Who cares?" "I've got a message from Umegaya." "Umegaya?" "You're being followed." "Be careful." "What's your part in this?" "I'm starting to be really involved." "But I still don't know everything." "I must know today." "Motoki, Umegaya and you, what did you do?" "I can't tell you." "If I talk I'm dead." "Your grave is already waiting for you with your name on it." "Unlce, people are coming." " Is Fuyujima here?" " Sometimes." " But not today." " Where is he?" "On round to Osaka." "Where are you going?" "Let's clear out!" "Come on..." "Hurry!" "Danger is close." "Explain to me." "What did you do?" "Why did Umegaya and Tomoe's father get killed?" "Stay here quietly a bit." "You still don't want to tell me?" "You saw it." "He's fighting like a killer." "This right hand used to be even better." "I was a boxer." "Quite a good middle weight." "I almost became a champion 4 years ago." "Some people tried to fix my fight." "I refused and..." "That's what they do when they want to kill boxers!" "They put an end to my career by breaking my hand." "Glory is like a drug." "You can't live without it once you experienced it." "I fell into despair without my drug." "That's when I met them." "The three of them." "The three of them?" "So you were four?" "Yes." "There was a fourth." "He was reckless." "He's in jail, at Fuchu's prison." "His name is Sengoku." "The four of us were roaming like ravenous dogs." "I hurt my leg when I was a kid during an aerial bombing." "It was the beginning of my misfortunes." "I lived in places those guys never knew." "I tried to get out of my situation but everybody rejected me." "You, despite your two legs, you sank as low as humanely possible." "Your fate might be worse than mine." "Life is half made of luck and circumstances." "The other half depends on us and what we do with it." "Would you be able to bet on me?" "We can make it together." "There's 30 million to get." "No one will be able to claim it." "Drugs money to steal during the transaction." "We can't sink any lower." "Now we must get back on our feet." "Listen." "We'll share the money in 2 years." "Until then, everybody should live his life." "I'll take care of the cash." "Ok?" "We'll be caught if we spend too much." "So we'll wait 2 years for things to calm down." "I can promise you that I won't be able to use this money." "Why?" "Because I'll be in jail." "Stock Exchange Fraud" "Wanted for stock exchange fraud." "I'll hide the money then turn myself in." "You'll be able to find me at Fuchu's prison." "He's the only one who knows where the money is." "We must meet tomorrow morning, after two years." "This Sengoku, do you really trust him?" "I never thought about it." "I had no choice but to wait for him." "Do you know those killers?" "Hong-Kong drug dealers we double-crossed." "Do you know that there's another?" "Who?" "Me." "You?" "Why?" "For half the money, 15 million," "I've been asked to kill Motoki, Umegaya and you." "Who asked you?" "8 days ago I was incarcerated at Fuchu's prison." "Sengoku..." "This bastard Sengoku!" "Tomoe, where were you?" "I was looking for my glove." "Fuyujima, hang on!" "Please..." "Avenge us and kill Sengoku." "Fuyujima, hang on!" "God damn it..." "It will be a nice graveyard for a failure like me..." "Fuyujima!" "Uncle!" "Tomoe!" "Uncle!" "Oh shit..." "Danger" " High voltage Keep out" "The money is inside?" "Be careful." "There's 30000 V." "One light touch and you're a goner." "Come on, go inside." "After you." "It's here." "Damn it..." "Men love trouble making women." "That's why I love you." "I'll never leave you again." "What are you thinking about?" "Maybe the same thing as you." "About how... to keep all this money for me." "Sengoku." "I could kill you to avenge your three friends but... if you give me the money, I'll spare you." "For Utako who fancies you more than her own life." "You pity me because of her?" "I never imagined you would be so stupid when I chose you." "Then you got me wrong." "Now, to save a little girl," "I decided to be stupid." "Don't try to be a hero, Oida." "You'll forget your own interest and risk your life for her?" "Listen, Oida." "It's easy to talk like that but it's common knowledge that it's every man for himself." "Money is the only thing that matters above all!" "Money!" "I only believe in that." "Money, you're right." "But... your friends who believed in you are dead." "They believed in you." "They were relying on you, not on money." "I understood while following your tracks." "I don't want to be around a monster anymore." "You want all the money for yourself, don't you?" "It's too much." "You won't be able to spend it all." "I know how to use it." "I'll buy the most beautiful thing." "What is it?" "My soul." "I'm taking for 30 million the soul I sold you." "I already killed 3 guys." "A fourth doesn't scare me." "Ok, dear gentleman." "I don't want to die." "Buy back your beautiful soul." "I went through a lot for this money." "Let me have a look at it." "Ok." "You're the one who set the tracks in front of me." "I'm offering you the transportation." "How much?" "1 million." "Ok." "I'll take it." "I had a bullet in store for you." "You only got a reprieve." "You know, Oida..." "We're always misleaded sooner or later." "You, it's your soul that deceived you." "Me... it's money." "We ended in a draw." "Farewell." "Hello?" "Give me the child!" "Give me Tomoe!" "Uncle!" "Tomoe!" "Are you alright?" " Did they hurt you?" " No." "Uncle, come and get me!" "Yes, I'm coming right now." "Wait for me." "Where's the money?" "I got it." "It's with me." "I'll bring it." "Don't touch a hair of this girl." "You have my word." "Meet in front of the Imperial Hotel." "Now." "I leave now." "I'll be there before midnight." "You crashed into me!" "Where are you going, you fucking lunatic?" "You're scraming?" "Answer me, motherfucker!" " Later." " Later?" "What, later?" "We'll go to the police station now!" " Let's see the cops!" " Later." "What's going on?" "This lunatic crashed into me!" "Driving licence!" "You're not Japanese." "Your passport!" "Identity papers!" "Your passport!" "Later." "Uncle!" "Tomoe!" "Follow us to the station." "Listen, Tomoe." "Listen carefully to what I'm gonna say." "Do you remember the lady from the cabaret?" "The one who gave you this scarf." "Do you remember?" "Take this and go find her." "And you?" "Me, I'll join you soon." "I still have one more thing to do." "Do what I tell you!" "You know that I'll always be with you." "All right?" "No!" "I don't want to go!" "I don't want to go!" "Tomoe!" "Excuse me, sir." "Can you take this little girl to the the Mekong Club?" "Yes, of course." "I confide her to your care." "No problem." "Tomoe, be reasonable." "You're coming?" "No!" "Go!" "THE END"
