"Anyway, nothing good happens to people who end up with me" "Friends, or lovers" "So ar e you afraid for me if I'm with you?" "Or are you afraid of me?" "What do you mean?" "I don't know these streets... but I do know that we're just driving around" "Is that because you don't want to be alone with me?" "Don't waste your time" "Hey... did you ever do it in a car?" "Don't you lik e Fay e Wong?" "What's this song?" "You like it?" "My mother had this boyfriend ...a Black pianist" "He used to fuck her to this record" "Ah, childhood memories" "I like it" "Then it's yours" "Do me a favor" "We're going to be together for a while" "Even if you don't mean it, tr eat me as your lover" "Even for a few days" "Whatever you like" "Yeah?"

"No" "Hey Let's go for a drive" "Hey, wait" "Where you going?" "Get lost" "How are you?" "No, how are you?" "Good" "If I said I wanted to kill" "Yuan Cheng-gui... would you lend me a hand?" "Let me ask you something first" "What?" "You never cared about any woman befor e" "Who's this woman you're looking for now?" "You know why I had to leave" "Shinjuku last y ear?" "You killed Yuan Cheng-gui's right-hand man" "You know why?" "No, I don't" "I don't have time for 20 Questions" "W hat's your hurry?" "Do you have to go somewher e?" "I've been hiding for three days" "I haven't talk ed to anyone" "Ok, let's talk" "We had to form gangs when we first got her e... to protect ourselves from the Japanese kids" "That's why I started the Dragons" "I know that" "A girl from my home town in China got gang-raped" "One of the guys who did it was from Shanghai" "The girl was only 14" "She ended up working as a bar hostess" "She came to me for help" "She became my woman" "And this guy from Shanghai... was Yuan's man, the one you killed..." "Thr ee days ago" "Xiao-lian phoned, and said Yuan had her" "Xiao-lian?" "Xiao-lian My woman" "You get her away from Yuan, then we'll go kill him" "It's a good thing you didn't kill Xui-hong" "She thinks you didn't because we wer e partners" "I'll kill anyone who's with Yuan" "That shithead Sun-chun showed up" "I got the hell out of there" "I was just about to put a bullet in Xui-hong, too" "She doesn't know that" "She might be able to help" "I'll ask her." "Where do I find you?" "You know the dragon..." "Yeah..." "Shinjuku Station, West Exit" "Look for the dragon" "Look for what?" "You'll be surprised" "But you still haven't said you'll help me kill Yuan..." "Hello, Kenichi..." "I hear you'r e with a woman" "That might not be such a good idea" "Sleep well last night?" "I didn't sleep at all" "Where'd you go?" "I was awake, so I went shopping" "Then I cleaned the place" "Finally it looks like someone lives here." "See?" "If I'm your girlfriend," "I must act like it, shouldn't I" "Then maybe you should tell me the truth" "About what?" "You're not Sato Natsumi" "What did Fu-chun say?" "That you grew up with him in China" "That's right" "He lived near me" "Our mothers were Japanese, left behind after the war" "I met him again here" "Is that all?" "Then why all the lies?" "How can I trust you if you won't tell me the truth?" "When I was small my mother and father hit me" "And then later" "Fu-chun hit me" "Are you going to hit me, too" "No, I'm not..." "Kenichi, Kenichi" "But you'r e not serious about killing Fu-chun, ar e you?" "Yes, I am, W hen I was 12, he raped me" "You happy now?" "All the men I've known have only wanted one thing" "But with you, I don't mind" "I want to believe you... but I don't..." "Iovers or not" "I don't car e" "I shouldn't have gone into her room" "I shouldn't have opened her trunk" "Kenichi, Kenichi, be gentle" "You'r e not lik e the r est of them" "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have compar ed you to them" "I didn't think it would get so complicated" "Can you still do it?" "I've never been to a hot spring" "W hy don't we forget everything and go to one?" "A hot spring is no big deal" "It is to me, even just once" "Fu-chun once said... ther e ar e two kinds of people" "The cheaters and the cheated" "We'd steal cr edit cards and use them at department stor es" "Kids' clothes, mostly" "A few days later Xui-hong would r eturn them... and say they didn't fit" "No one suspects a housewife r eturning baby clothes" "Have you ever killed anyone?" "Just once" "Hello?" "Tian-wen..." "W hat?" "Now?" "You'r e going to use her?" "She's Fu-chun's girlfriend" "She's the bait" "She's how we get to him" "So what's the plan?" "Tomorrow I call Yuan" "I tell him some Malaysians have got Fu-chun... and I'll hand him over" "somewher e Yuan will feel safe lik e Tian-wen's r estaurant... at say, 5 p.m." "I need you ther e as insurance so Yuan will come" "But r eally, befor e Yuan r eaches the r estaurant..." "Fu-chun steps out and puts some bullets into him" "Think it'll work?" "The Shanghai group won't sit back... and let us kill" "Yuan Cheng-Gui" "You know the Shanghai group is riddled with factions" "Qian-bo's looking to be number one himself" "Xui-hong always tell me the truth" "If we give them" "Fu-chun's corpse... they'll mak e a bit of noise and that'll be that" "You think so?" "I'm the one in danger" "All you have to be is a guarantor" "Looks lik e New Year's Eve dinner might be a bit late..." "How's business?" "Very good, thanks" "Tian-wen... thanks" "Excuse me" "Raise up" "OK" "The wife says you be sur e and come to dinner, too" "It's at Tian-wen's, so you'll be close by" "Mr. Ye wants to see you" "Looks like fun" "Want to come for a drive?" "Yes, yes, yes Very nice" "Wher e'd you get her?" "She's Fu-chun's girlfriend" "His life is in the hands of you and Mr. Yang right now" "Since you invited me to be in this little play..." "I'd like to study my part" "So what's going to happen in Kabukicho tomorrow?" "How can I help if I don't know" "If it's too late" "How can I help?" "That's easy we give Fu-chun to Yuan Cheng-gui" "You know, this guy is so mean" "Let's ask you" "Maybe we'll go somewher e and I'll show you what I'm like" "We'll see who you pr efer..." "Him, of course" "How will you know that until you've tried me?" "Stop it" "Ok, Fu-chun's going to kill Yuan" "Good idea" "Makes me want to come in my pants" "I'll have this woman someday" "You can have her till then" "Stop her e" "Kill that bastard" "Wait her e" "You wer e gone so long..." "I went to the toilet" "The toilet?" "Not the telephone?" "What do you mean?" "You don't trust me yet?" "I haven't decided to trust you yet" "I don't know anyone in Tokyo" "Who would I phone?" "Someone wanting information" "Wher e did Cui-hu spring from just now" "Maybe you called him so you'll be sur e of a way out" "I don't know his phone number" "Why would I call him?" "I hate him" "Ther e's always the phone book..." "What ar e you doing?" "If you won't trust me, what else can I do?" "Can you stand up?" "You ok?" "I just went to the toilet" "I did something else, too" "A guy like you wouldn't know what day this is..." "Happy Valentine's" "What's wrong?" "Did I blow it again?" "Don't you like chocolate?" "You want to be a bat, like me?" "Sur e I do" "Wher e ar e we going?" "A bat follows its instincts" "Then we should play our song" "Isn't the owner her e?" "Ar e you sur e... we can go in?" "Terrific" "If only it would snow..." "You can't have everything..." "Let's not have sex tonight" "Just hold me" "Sex was the furthest thing from my mind..." "Day 3:" "Midnight," "Chinese New Year's Eve" "Mr. Yuan... the Tao Yuan r estaurant at 5" "Don't bring any mor e than two men with you" "Too many and things will get difficult ther e" "Fine" "Thanks" "You eat first," "I've got somthing to do" "And call my cell phone in 15 minutes" "Why?" "Just do it. 15 minutes, OK?" "Fu-chun Fu-chun" "Remember Jiro?" "The ex-police inspector..." "I'll go wash." "Take your time" "They'd look all over" "Shinjuku and never find you her e" "The best place to hide is in plain sight" "Well?" "Did you find where Xiao-lian is?" "Eng01186.bmp" "Xui-hong convinced Yuan to let her take Xiao-lian" "Now I can kill the bastard without having to worry" "Today at 5..." "Yuan and two of his men will pass her e" "I'm supposed to meet them at the Tao Yuan r estaurant" "At 4:45 a boy will come and give you a sports bag" "In it will be a shotgun and a walkie-talkie" "Wait till I tell you" "Xiao-lian?" "I'm with Fu-chun" "Tell him you'r e at Xui-hong's and you'r e all right" "Xiao-lian" "You'r e safe" "Don't worry, I'm going to kill that son-of-a-bitch" "Until then..." "Xiao-lian?" "She hung up" "Xiao-lian?" "Anyway, once it's done, get the hell out of ther e" "I'll bring Xiao-lian to the cemetery in Takadanobaba" "Oh, yeah... the place we used in the old days..." "Just a minute..." "One last thing" "Buy a lottery ticket for tonight's draw" "For me... and Xiao-lian" "Hello..." "I'd like the number for Mistral in Shinjuku..." "What the hell ar e you doing?" "Sorry about that... but who sent you?" "Don't be so violent" "I wanted you to ask him" "I thought you wanted me to kick him" "Tell Mr. Ye I appr eciated his concern, but I'll be fine" "You called Papa Yang and said we wer e ther e, didn't you" "I did what?" "No one knew we wer e in that coffee shop" "But I never thought he'd have us followed" "When you went to pick up the money, did he say... you can't trust Kenichi" "I'm your insurance if anything happens" "If you knew that, why ask?" "So Papa Yang called" "Cui-hu yesterday, too" "Remember?" "The cheaters and the cheated?" "We'r e the side that cheats" "Think" "Why wer e you able to fool me" "If you can't trust me, try someone else" "Anyway, the plan won't change" "Take car e" "Hello?" "I'm glad I was in time" "I don't die that easily." "So?" "Fu-chun's father died of lung cancer five years ago" "His mother's on welfar e in Chiba" "His elder brother's in prison for murder" "Fu-chun's the next brother" "Then ther e's two girls." "One died at four in China" "The younger one's Japanese name is Machiko..." "Fu-lian in Chinese" "What?" "Her family calls her" "Xiao-lian" "She's wilder than her brother" "She ran with a gang in Chiba did robberies, everything" "She had trouble with a guy... then slept with her eldest brother so he'd help her" "He killed the guy, went to prison..." "So she did the same thing with Fu-chun" "She's the kind who'll do anything" "Rumor has it she even killed someone" "Do you want to kill me?" "I didn't think you'd come back..." "That I'd never see you again" "No, no..." "I'd like to know mor e about" "Fu-chun's little sister" "You found out, huh..." "I'll tell you the truth." "If you like," "We've still got some time" "When we came to Japan we couldn't speak Japanese..." "We had no money..." "Kids picked on us..." "I alr eady knew" "I was raped by a gang" "The leader owned me" "He'd give me to other gangs and let them do what they liked with me" "I couldn't take it" "I went to my older brother" "I slept with him" "He killed thr ee of them for me... and went to jail" "And then..." "Fu-chun came to me... wanting me to sleep with him" "I ran away when I was 17" "Then last year" "Fu-chun found me in Nagoya" "I swear to you... it was rape" "He moved into my place took all my money..." "He'd hit me..." "He even got me pr egnant" "I was pr egnant with my own brother's baby" "I had an abortion" "Kenichi..." "let's run away" "Forget everything... the plan, killing Yuan..." "I've got some money" "Let's go somewher e... we don't have to think about who's betraying who" "Let's go now" "It's too late, Xiao-lian" "We can't go back now" "It's gotten too big" "Ther e's nothing" "I can do alone" "Even if I know it'll fail," "I have to go through with it" "Anyway, the place you want to go... is only a dr eam" "Get changed." "It's time" "You kill Fu-chun" "Boss..." "Hello?" "Oh, hello, Mrs. Yang" "Fine, thanks" "His wife's ther e, too" "Ther e won't be a problem" "Mr. Yuan's on line 2" "Let's get this over with and have New Year's dinner" "Hey, what's going on?" "Tell me" "Go away!" "Get lost!" "Look out" "Two strangers at 10 o'clock" "Right, I'll do 'em all" "Hello?" "He's coming" "Right" "You head for the meeting place" "Yuan's right on time" "OK" "You'r e early" "I wasn't downstairs..." "He says he's happy to be dining out this New Year's" "You'r e too kind..." "Yuan's crossing the str eet" "He's crossing the str eet now" "Can you hear me?" "Kenichi" "I've been looking for you" "What's up" "Listen, can you help me?" "I want a Hongkong lottery ticket" "Mom, have you seen Xu-rui?" "No." "Isn't he with you?" "It's 500 million yen" "Later" "Go on" "Move" "Kenichi" "What ar e you doing her e?" "I want to be her e" "Get going" "Eat this" "Down" "Run" "You, too?" "Now it all makes sense" "I told you to get away, didn't I?" "This was Fu-chun's mess till you stuck your nose in" "Anyway, you'r e still only the mistr ess" "Now this guy's the boss" "Don't forget, Sun-chun... you've still got" "Qian-bo to contend with" "We'll give him your body and" "Fu-chun's" "Everything's under control" "Just to r ecap... your guys shot Fu-chun..." "Who killed Yuan?" "Cui-hu's men." "Thanks for bringing him into it" "That's it Papa Yang's taking" "Shinjuku from Mr. Ye" "Cui-hu joins him..." "Without Yuan the Shanghai group loses power..." "It's like" "The Romance of the" "Thr ee Kingdoms..." "Now I get it!" "You want to be boss of the Shanghai group!" "Which makes this guy the cur who betrays his lord ...for a woman" "I'm tir ed of being kept" "Mr Yang's going to give me all the clubs in Kabukicho" "Not bad, huh?" "So wher e ar e we going?" "You wanted to kill Fu-chun, didn't you?" "Hey, Can I have a smoke?" "Sur e" "Can I get that?" "Make it quick" "Hello?" "OK" "The lottery's out" "What's the number?" "Fr eeze" "Xui-hong" "Fr eeze" "Xiao-lian..." "Xiao-lian..." "Xiao-lian..." "Xiao-lian..." "Do your brother a favor" "Send me away" "Goodbye... big brother" "Go to the Tao Yuan with all these cops around?" "Papa Yang and Mr Ye ar e having a meeting" "I have to get things straight for us right now" "Let's go back" "Alr eady?" "Let's go" "Kenichi" "Hi, Kenichi" "Kenichi" "What's wrong?" "Suprised I'm still alive?" "I have to talk to you thr ee gentlemen again" "Especially Mr Qian-bo the new Shanghai group boss" "What happened tonight?" "Well, let's say Xui-hong and her boyfriend Sun-chun joined up... with Wu Fu-chun... to eliminate their boss," "Yuan Cheng-gui" "But they fell out, shot each other to death... and now the police get an anonymous tip from me... that ther e ar e thr ee bodies at a certain place" "What do you think?" "That could work" "What do you think, Mr Ye?" "Mr Ye says that's fine with him... but that we'll need the Shanghai group to agr ee" "Sun-chun was an ambitious man" "The people under him will confirm that" "Let's leave it at that for now" "That settles Kenichi, then" "The problem of this woman is a little mor e difficult" "What problem?" "Thr ee days ago" "Mr Ye had a phone call from" "Nagoya... asking him to find" "Wu Fu-chun and his girlfriend" "It seems they robbed an underground bank ther e... stole 60 million yen and killed two of its staff" "Now, if Wu Fu-chun is dead... then perhaps we might have this lady r eturn the money" "If she can't this is a serious loss of face for Mr Ye" "He will not be happy" "What happened is... she started this whole thing" "She schemed to have" "Yuan kill Wu Fu-chun... so she'd have all the money" "This was all about money?" "Mr Ye suggests people be told... that she put Xui-hong and Sun-chun up to it" "What if she r eturned it?" "That would only be a start" "Wher e's the money?" "I bought a condo" "A smart move... or a stupid one..." "If she sold the condo?" "Mr Ye says he cannot wait that long" "This must be settled tonight" "Then how about this..." "Enough of this" "Be grateful we've left you alive" "No, wait..." "It's Mr Ye who's behind all of this" "He's trying to take over" "Kabukicho" "Mr Ye and Qian-bo" "They had a falling out and shot each other" "And now Yokohama and Shinjuku ar e yours, right?" "It's OK" "Why didn't you kill Yang?" "Someone's got to tell the police what happened" "We might get split up" "You take this" "How did you know Yang would kill Qian-bo?" "He was setting Xui-hong up... so he'd control the Shanghai group" "And he'd been aiming at Ye's position for a long time" "I got him ther e that much faster" "That's why he let you go?" "He's very smart, is Papa Yang..." "He sur e is" "He thought you'd get away from" "Xui-hong... and show up back her e" "But you'r e clever, too," "Kenichi" "Imagine leaving by the roof" "But I'm a smart guy, too" "Shall we take a drive?" "All this shit you've stirr ed up tonight is a godsend for me" "I won't be Yang's stooge for ever" "All I was supposed to do was deliver you two to Yang" "Now if I need a witness about today to keep Mr Yang honest..." "I can have one of you" "Just which one of you isn't going to be an easy choice" "The one I choose has to die, you see" "'Dead men tell no tales'" "It'd be nice to have a pr etty girl to play with..." "Can't you just let the both of us go?" "If I do that, he'll just send someone else to get you" "No." "One of you dies and the other goes fr ee" "Wouldn't you like to be with me?" "Hands off" "You think I didn't know you had a gun" "You'r e a smart girl." "Think about it" "I don't think you'll shoot me" "Kenichi What did I tell you" "I told you to give her to me" "Go on, Xiao-lian, Shoot" "What he says makes sense" "Don't think about it" "Go on!" "Shoot!" "Gr eat!" "What a climax!" "Damn!" "That bitch was r eally going to shoot you" "She blew her chance" "Well, that's how it goes" "Sooner or later she'd kill whoever" "ended up with her, you or me" "She's bad luck." "That's all it is" "Finish her off" "I shouldn't have gone into her room" "I shouldn't have opened her trunk" "She was stronger than me" "She knew exactly what she wanted... and she'd do anything to get it" "Maybe she was the only way" "I had... to get out of this shithole of Kabukicho" "Kenichi..." "It's snowing..." "That's nice" "How long did I stand ther e holding her?" "Did it r eally snow?" "I don't r eally r emember" "I vanished from Kabukicho for a while" "Later Cui-hu invited me to join him" "He said" "I'd become emotionless... a completely cold-blooded animal" "And that made me the perfect partner for him" "Two years later," "Mr Yang became don of the" "Chinese mafia in Tokyo" "For his 70-th birthaday... people came from all over japan" "Ther e was a rumor..." "I would appear to avenge Natsumi" "That was wrong" "I was ther e to take Shinjuku from him" "But Natsum... who was Natsumi, anyway?"
