"Far away..." "Far away, in a distance lies Okhotsk" "Red..." "Bright red rugosa roses are facing the ocean and crying" "They call it Abashiri Bangaichi" "Good day." "Shit, they sure got the air conditioner blasting here!" "It's -20 degrees Celsius." "But you haven't seen anything yet." "I hear they crank up the heating system full blast in the summer." "I wonder if I'll survive the winter this year." "To hell with -20 degrees Celsius." "Think of yourself as a bunch of icicles and you won't be cold at all." "Ouch!" "Brother, you sound like someone who's got education." "Don't touch me so casually." "Hey, you at the top, what are you stalling for?" "You're holding us all up." "Brother, don't space out, let's go." "We're here." "Abashiri Prison" "C'mon, keep moving." "2 previous arrests for causing injury." "Sentence:" "3 years." "Shin'ichi Tachibana, 27-years-old." "You have a history of 2 previous arrests, causing injury both times." "Were you hanging out with a group of juvenile delinquents?" "Juvenile delinquents?" "Please take a good look at me." "Do I look like some small-time con-man?" "You can't judge a book by its cover, you know." "So, are you one of those related to a yakuza family?" "Yes, something like that." "But you see, I can't stand anything crooked." "Alright." "Well, you've got some time to spend here so I'll observe what kind of person you are at my leisure." "Next." "Gonda!" "Pleased to meet you." "A yakuza or a robber, there's no difference in crimes they commit against the law, they say." "Hey." "This way." "Robbery, a rape and an attempted murder..." "You ain't bad at all." "Let's hear about the deal with the rape." "It felt so good." "She was a good-looking gal." "It gives me shivers even now when I think about it." "Listen, her skin was as fair as could be." "She had so-called transistor curves." "Her shape was, like this, it gets small here like this and goes out like this, then..." "Let's not talk about it." "It's not good for you senior occupants who've been abstinent for years." "Hey, what a stupid look you have." "What's wrong with you?" "Giving us nothing but a teaser, skipping the best part." "I'm not the type of guy who'd get easily excited with such a story, you see." "If all you need is a good-looking gal to get you excited, you're just like me." "Hey, why don't you share your experience with our seniors?" "Since you see right through me, I guess I'm obliged to." "As you've guessed, I was extremely popular among women." "It cost me my job and I ended up in a pig sty like this..." "I can elaborate on that at a later time but since we'll be sharing the space together here for a long period of time so why don't we receive a word from our seniors what the rules are here at Abashiri Prison?" "Listen to me." "In this mixed group cell, you're all new comers." "Don't forget to respect your seniors." "Like this one." "My name is Kuwabara the Buddha." "Hey, just a minute." "The senior-junior business doesn't make sense." "I ain't your average beginner myself." "You've got a big chip on your shoulder." "So, what kind of job did you do and what kind of time did you get?" "Here's the list:" "Theft, swindling, stealing, hit and run, prostitution, and eating without paying." "I've been arrested 13 times altogether." "From the MPD to Marunouchi, Hisamatsu stations, and Ueno, Asakusa, and Katsushika stations." "Down in Osaka, the town of Hankyu Plaza, Sonezaki station." "In Kobe, the port town, Motomachi station." "All the way down, down south in Kyushu, in Nagasaki, the town for lovers, Uragami station." "That's it." "My first time here." "I've got 2 years and 6 months." "Idiot!" "Such a big talk, and all you've got is a short term sentence!" "Be ashamed, very ashamed!" "You, young fellow, we haven't heard your story yet, have we?" "What?" "Well... mine is embarrassingly insignificant." "I've done nothing worth mentioning for your ears." "That's quite alright." "Don't be so modest and just tell us." "A double suicide." "You mean, your gal was the only one that died?" "Yes..." "I'm sorry for her." "Take your time and pray for her well." "Now, let me introduce myself." "Have you ever heard of a guy named Onitora, Eight Men Murderer?" "Not familiar." "I didn't think so." "It was before you even got inside your mommys' bellies." "Now I remember." "He was the terrible murderer that sliced up his rivals in love and cops with a sickle." "I heard he got executed, if I remember correctly." "However..." "He was the major star in tabloids who shook up all of Japan." "Boss, I am humbled." "You see, Onitora and I were like brothers." "We teamed up together and used to all kinds of big jobs." "Which one of you was the elder?" "Now you understand." "Let me simply present myself." "I'm Heizo Yoda, serving 15 years for arson and murder." "15 years..." "Old man, you're so quiet I forgot you were there." "What have you done at your age?" "Well, please do not ask." "I'm trying to forget it." "Don't be so shy." "Don't you think it goes against the prison's code of honor?" "I've been given the number 42 in this world." "Oh, 4 and 2 read death." "That's bad luck." "Hey, Death Number, how long have you got to serve?" "Yes." "Excluding the special parole upon Emperor's crowning and the reinstatement order when the war ended I've got 21 years more to go." "Far from where people are..." "Far from where people are and behind the bars..." "There"'"s hell on earth" "Cowards out there wouldn"'"t understand that" "If they don"'"t, then I can show them" "Hey, a cig." "Hey, let me snatch it." "Here I go." "Clumsy bastard." "He said he was a confirmed pick pocket and thief." "I see he's pretty good." "Hey, hand me that cig butt." "What, why're you all looking funny?" "It's a custom that the seniors taste a treat like this first." "Listen you all, if you wanna get a piece of the left over, better find a chunkier cig." "Outdoor labor is juicy 'cause of advantages like this." "Two years later" "Hey, it's too soon for the newcomer." "Stop spoiling him." "Don't be such a sour-puss." "New face or old face, we're in the same boat after all." "Why don't we be kinder to one another?" "Go ahead." "It seems lower rank yakuza like to play the role of a big brother." "Don't act like you're something after serving only three years." "Shut up." "If the rule is the longer you've served the higher the rank the summer house security guy who's served 30 years is the boss, isn't he?" "Don't act so high and mighty." "You punk." "You seem to need a little beating to get with the program." "You punk!" "Fine with me." "I've been freezing and having loose bowels for some time." "Let me take that in place of a hot water bag." "You joker." "Bastard!" "Bastard!" "Resume labor!" "Resume labor!" "You're lucky." "Hey, we'll be settling this one." "Hey." "Let's go." "Well, well..." "Providing us with entertainment without getting paid." "Hey, the guard!" "We're in trouble." "There!" "What are you doing?" "Stop it, stop it!" "Picking the specific night I'm on duty to cause trouble." "What are you thinking?" "Mr. Guard, I'm sorry." "I lost my temper 'cause this young chicken was behaving out of line." "Would you please let this one pass." "Hey, go on and apologize to sir." "Well, I'm sorry." "Tachibana!" "What kind of an attitude is that?" "Alright, I'm taking you to the punishment cell!" "Suits me fine." "Take me to the punishment cell or wherever you want." "I feel sick from just looking at the faces of these bastards." "Alright, I'll give it to you as you wish." "You're wrong if you think all you have to do is to just sit there." "You too." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Hey, Mom!" "No matter how much I called to her, Mother didn't even answer me." "Something was different about her, it was almost frightening." "Mother suffered poor health so she got married to some jerk she didn't even like so that she could raise us." "Of course I was too small to understand that." "Well the bride is entering the bedroom." "Please, drink some more, everyone." "There." "Michiko, we don't want to stay in such a dump." "Let's go home." "Let's take Mom and go home, alright?" "Yeah." "Mom!" "Mom, let's go home!" "Mom!" "Be quiet!" "Alone..." "My mother lives alone..." "I"'"m punished for being a yakuza for so long" "Saying I"'"m sorry, I bow with my hands on the floor, and in tears I pray in Bangaichi" "It was rare that the three of us could go out together since we moved in with that family." "We're home." "I see they've got some expensive treats." "Your husband has barely enough drinking money, and you give your children whatever they want?" "Hey." "Yes." "To hell with this!" "There!" "You brat." "Dear, he's just a child, please forgive him." " You spoil them too much!" "Don't ever hit Mom!" "Damn you!" " Shin'ichi!" "You brat!" "Damn it." "Brother, please stop!" "Stop it!" "Damn it." "Damn it." "Damn it." "Hey, Mr. Tachibana." "I'd like you to take a break when we're on a little break." "It makes us uncomfortable if you keep working so intensely." "Especially me, since such manual labor isn't my strongest skill." "Forgive me." "Hey, Tachibana..." "You've become so straight-laced since you were put in the punishment cell." "I'm not trying to flatter you." "The Chief Supervisor is pleased, too." "Keep it up." "Lucky is a man with a reputation." "He might even earn a parole." "We can't beat up people good at gaining points." "Hey, are you saying I'm trying to gain points?" "Who said we're talking about you?" "One barks when someone points out the bare truth about him, trying to hide it." "Don't bother." "The less intelligent one is, the more he relies on physical power." "You bastard." " Come on, quit it." "If you get punished, we'll be treated more strictly." "Quit it." "Number 18!" "Number 110." " Hey, Number 110!" "Yes, what is it, Mr. Guard?" "Say your number a little louder." "Yes, Number 110." "Louder!" "He's got bad luck." "He doesn't let go." "My woman wouldn't let go, either, but..." "Say it louder and clearer." "Number 110!" "Straight!" "What the heck are you doing hiding a cig." "This!" "Wouldn't you let it go?" "Please, sir, I beg you." "Stop kidding!" "Hey, you." "Take it away." "Move it!" "Hey." "Huh?" "You said I was trying to gain points." "Yeah." "I'll show you what I'm made of." "Yeah, show me." "Number 27!" "It reads Nihichi, the guy parading down Mito Road." "Bow down, bow down!" "Bow down, bow down!" "Bow down, bow down!" "Hey, what's wrong with you?" "Hey, that's enough!" "Be quiet!" "Number 234." "Two Thirty Four." "Am I Too Flirty For you?" "Am I Too Flirty For you?" "It's my turn." "Number 235." "Two Three Five." "A beggar cooks rice in Two Three Five." "A beggar cooks rice in Two Three Five." "Number 459." "It reads Shikoku, the land of the Fools' Dance of Awa." "Here we go!" "Dancing fools and onlooking fools." "If a fool, better be the dancing one." "That a craze, what a craze..." "Hey, stop it!" "Hey!" "The behavior displayed by the entire outdoors labor unit in the changing room was an extremely disrespectful one that defies the purpose of maintaining order." "Therefore, the entire unit will be submitted to 20 days of strict punishment." "Additionally, No. 27 who started the commotion will be in punishment cell for one month." "More rice?" "Enough already." "Your belly's a part of your body, too." "You work like half a person but eat like three people." "Eat more." "Brother, it's alright." "You don't have to be shy." "Pay no mind to that mean old bastard." "Here." "What's that, you punk!" "I'll let you have it, you mean old bastard." "What are you doing?" "If you like it so much that you won't even share with your children, you eat it all!" "You eat!" "Eat!" "Eat it!" "I can't let someone crazy stay in my house a day longer!" "Get out, never come back!" "Yeah, I will." "I don't wanna stay in this dump even if you begged me to." "Brother!" "Brother, brother..." "Michiko!" "Brother!" "Brother, are you really going?" "Yeah." "But I promise to come and get you." "Be patient, alright?" "Yes." "But I feel bad for Mom." "She won't have anyone to help her if she gets abused." "What should we do?" "Forgive me, Michiko." "Will you, Michiko?" "Okay." "It's okay." "Mom said to give this wallet to you." "She said she's sorry this is all she has and that she couldn't do for you what a good mother should." "Tell her I'll give it my best wherever I go." "Tell her not to worry, alright?" "Tell her." "Brother!" "Number 27..." "Probation Officer Tsubaki is here to see you." "Mr. Tatsuta, would you mind checking on other cells while I'm here?" "Then, I shall leave you alone." "It's been a while." "Thanks for your gift the other day." "Well to be frank, I was disappointed to hear what happened." "You were earning a good reputation, so I had begun arranging for your parole." "Parole?" "Well, don't be so pessimistic." "I'm sure what I've done has diminished that possibility." "That's alright, too." "Evenwithout parole, there's only six more months to go." "You'll be out in no time." "I'm here because I've been thinking about what you'd do once you get out, and I wanted to talk with you about it." "Mr. Tsubaki..." "I know you've done so much for me already but..." "Go on, tell me." "I received a letter from my sister saying Mom's sick in bed." "How is she?" "Doctor says she has breast cancer." "It seems they can't help her." "Mr. Tsubaki, I beg you..." "Could you please help me get out so that I can see Mom?" "Of course, there's nothing I could do if I saw her." "I wish to apologize to her for my bad lifestyle while she's alive." "I wanna tell her something like I'll be good from now on, so that she won't worry." "I've been so anxious from thinking about it, I've been restless." "Alright, I understand." "I'll see what I can do for you." "Curb your short temper and be on your best behavior." "Yes, sir, I will." "Well thank you for your help." "Mr. Tsubaki, it's time." "Then I'll act on it right away." "Thank you for your help." "Thanks." "Sure." "What an idiot I am!" "He was arranging for my parole and what did I do?" "I keep messing up my life." "Idiot..." "Idiot..." "Idiot!" "A knife..." "A knife in hand, I attack my enemy" "My life is all but a gamble" "I know I"'"ll surely end up" "In a place called Abashiri Bangaichi" "May I ask who you are?" "Who the hell are you?" "Are you Boss Chichibu?" "I'm with Kanto Ryujin Family, my name is Shin'ichi Tachibana, I'm a beginner." "I came to take your life." "Boss!" "Bastard!" "Ouch!" "Bear with me, I'm an amateur barber." "I wish I could get out of here." "How about you?" "Of course, everyone does." "With your kind of sentence, you're just about at a point when you get antsy from wanting to get out." "When a single day feels like a year, even two." "Shin'ichi..." "You grew up in a warm climate so I can imagine how difficult it can be for you to spend days in the coldest, northern most place." "I always regret how I could never do for you what a mother would normally do for her child." "Thinking about how hard it has been for you to live on your own in a strange big city after you left I can't blame or scold you for what you've done." "My hope is for you to become an honest person that no one will talk bad about as soon as you can." "Why are spacing out like that, huh?" "You seem down these days." "Every time you receive a letter from that woman, you become melancholic." "You must be dying to see her." "There is a way you could." "If you wanna escape there are many chances." "Like it's easy." "Even if I had to serve my time in full, I've only got six more months to go." "That bastard Tachibana isn't biting the bait." "We can't leave him out just 'cause he's not biting the bait." "We can't plan our escape without him." "Listen, I've been trying my best many times." "Why don't you shut up and persuade him yourself?" "I know." "Out!" "In!" "Out!" "Hey, have you made up your mind about it?" "Out plan is guaranteed to succeed." "We ain't got much time." "I hope to hear a yes from you soon." "Brother..." "The Doctor said Mom may or may not last until the end of the year." "Dad says there's no point in spending money on medicine for someone who's dying anyway." "He stays with a woman from the bar and rarely comes home these days." "Mom told me not to say anything to you." "But I..." "Wine, songs, tobacco, and women;" "nothing else do I remember." "With a treasure chest in front of your eyes, what do you have to think about?" "He's right." "Let's get out of here right away and make tons of money like there's no tomorrow." "What do you say?" "I agree." "Why don't you get out of here right away and make tons of money like there's no tomorrow?" "What do you say?" "Frigin' punk." "Is that right?" "Brother..." "I visit the shrine late at night every day." "If the doctors can't help Mom, the only way to save her is to pray to the gods." "Don't die, Mom." "Don't die!" "The entire cell has agreed to escape with us." "Of course, they couldn't really choose to get out of it once they learned about it." "There are some who can't come with us even if they asked to." "Who's that?" "Old man Akuta." "He's too old, he'll just be a burden for us." "We'll pull the emergency alarm about three in the morning." "The guard on duty will come rushing." "We'll get Ohtsuki to play sick." "He'll be in excruciating pain." "The guard will report it to the chief guard." "It's late and the doctor's gone home." "The chief guard will come rushing with whatever medicine's at hand." "That's the moment to seize." "Listen... we'll drag the chief guard into the cell, gag him and strip all his clothes." "It takes 20 min." "To run from the back gate to the national road." "We'll be in time for the four o'clock transport for Marubeni Lumber." "We'll drop the drivers off at the Ohocho forest area." "It'll take them over three hours to any place where there's a phone." "Listen, once we get to Ohocho, it's up to the individual which way he wants to go." "Do you understand the plan?" "Listen, be careful with the old man Akuta." "So we've decided to put him to sleep?" "What'd you think?" "He can't run from the back gate to the national road." "Things are moving forward regardless of my will." "If I ever squeal on them, in whichever jail I might get in they'll know me as a betraying dog who sold on my friends and won't treat me as a human." "And they're planning to kill the innocent old man." "What on earth am I to do?" "Old man, you said arthritis was acting up." "How are you?" "Yes, it's okay more or less." "Why don't you apply for a sick room?" "That would be great, but I don't think it's possible." "How come?" "They don't treat the elderly's diseases as regular illnesses in jail." "But you should insist." "You've got insist and make that possible." "Why are you so concerned for me?" "I'm grateful anyway, Number 27." "I'll never forget your kindness." "Listen, on the day at the end of these markings we'll have Supervisor Fujiki and the guard Pachikuri on duty." "They're both soft-hearted and a little slow." "We'll take advantage of the opportunity." "20 days from now, at night." "It hasn't come through yet." "Don't be rash and hold on a little while longer." "I'll do the best I can." "You tell me not to be rash, but if anything happens to Mom..." "I understand how you feel very well." "The police chief has telephoned the Ministry of Justice for you, too." "Everyone's working at it." "But the official business isn't so simple." "But... we don't know what's gonna happen to Mom tomorrow." "Mr. Tsubaki..." "I've been irritable." "Forgive me." "That's not a problem." "Just don't give up hope." "I'll do my best, too." "Alright?" "Understand?" "Well, I'm going to talk to the Chief now." "Alright?" "Mr. Tsubaki's only trying to make me feel better." "I bet his request has been turned down." "Brother..." "When Mom's delirious with fever, she often calls out your name, saying 'Shin'ichi!" "'" "If you wanna escape, there are many chances." "Our plan is guaranteed to succeed." "We ain't got much time." "I hope to hear a yes from you soon." "Everyone's working at it." "But the official business isn't so simple." "Brother..." "When Mom's delirious with fever, she often calls out your name, saying 'Shin'ich!" "'" "Don't treat it so casually." "This here is something my little brother Onitora gave me, and I painstakingly smuggled in." "Then, I want my pipe back." "It hasn't come through yet." "Don't be rash and hold on a little while longer." "I'll do the best I can." "Our plan is guaranteed to succeed." "We ain't got much time." "I hope to hear a yes from you soon." "No, I can't." "If I did, that would be the end of it all." "My, my, a duty call." "What on earth is the matter now?" "What on earth is the matter?" "Mr. Guard, Number 235 has been groaning with a stomach pain." "There isn't much I can do at this time of the night." "Sure, I keep telling him the doctor will be in when the morning comes but this is getting out of hand." "Hey, hold on." " I wonder if it isn't appendicitis." "What?" "That's a problem." "Mr. Guard, can you give him some kind of medicine?" "Otherwise, if anything happened, guys in other cells may consider us inhumane saying we let him suffer without even giving him medicine." "Hold on one minute." "Let me do something about it." "Ah, ouch, ouch, ouch!" "Ouch..." "Hey, how's he doing?" "This can't be a regular stomach ache." "Hey, hold on." "Mr. Supervisor, will you please take a look?" "Hey, unlock it." "Mr. Supervisor, not to worry." "He'll be better soon." "What are you saying?" "Hey, he's been in such pain for a long time." "I know what's going on." "Know what?" "Hey, hey..." "That he's going to feel better soon." "Those who aren't used to the coldness here often get that during the night." "I believe if we take turns massaging his belly, it'll go away soon." "You make such an irresponsible remark, but if anything happens..." "If he ever dies, I'll take responsibility." "Please not to worry, Mr. Supervisor." "Then, I'll leave it to you." "We'll send in the doctor as soon as he gets here in the morning." "Old man, how dare you ruin our plan!" "Damn it, what an unexpected turn!" "I'm not quite sure what you're talking about." "Of course you aren't." "We haven't told you anything." "Yes, he knows." "I bet he found out and decided to interfere." "What shall we do?" "We'll put him to sleep." "Hey, stop it." "Damn it, this old man isn't your average rat." "That's alright." "If we used that kind of a thing, it'd be too messy afterwards." "Are we gonna use that trick?" "That's right." "The futon steam roller." "I see." "They'll say the cause of death was a heart attack." "Let's have fun." "Stop it." "You don't have to do that, you can talk." " Shut up." "We've come this far, we need to make him silent." "Everyone..." "I would volunteer to die from a heart attack as you wish." "Except I won't go alone." "I'd like to have one of you as my travel-guide to the other side." "What?" "An old man like me still has the energy to take a man or two with me." "Fortunately, a convenient tool like this has become available for me, too." "Well who shall I have as my company?" "Will it be you?" "Or will it be the hip young man there?" "Oh yes, you'll be it." "You and I are close to each other." "I understand you're someone who did a somewhat famous job." "But who on earth are you?" "I told you, you and I are close to each other." "What?" "I don't know you!" "You're so forgetful." "You always talk about how you're my big brother." "What?" "You mean, you are..." "I'm Torakichi Akuta, a.k.a. Onitora the Eight Men Murderer." "Mr. Onitora..." "Listen you all..." "Don't cause trouble and serve your duty well no matter what." "You got it?" "Yes." "All 30 men, lined up." "You've been assigned to join the wood cutting troop at the Chinda House 18 kilometers deeper in from Abashiri here." "I hope you'll work harder to compensate the society for your past doings." "Take care of your health and be well." "Bow!" "All turn right!" "On the truck." "Mr. Akuta..." "You saved me from getting involved with the escape." "You pulled that dangerous stunt for my sake, didn't you?" "Escape!" "Hey, stop the car!" "They're getting away!" "Stop the car!" "Stop the car!" "Don't run away!" "Stop!" "Hey, don't run away!" "I'll shoot!" "Come on." "If you run, I'll shoot you down." "Surrender." "Mr. Guard..." "Sir we're surrendering." "I hope you understand that." "Wait!" "I'll shoot!" "Surrender!" "Tachibana!" "Gonda!" "Stop!" "If you don't stop, I'll shoot!" "What are we gonna do?" "We'll run away." "They'll shoot us." "You can't escape." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Tachibana!" "Stop it, or you'll kill him!" "Stop it!" "Stop..." "What the hell are you doing, bastard?" "Stop!" "I'll shoot!" "Why did you get me involved in this?" "I didn't mean to but couldn't help it." "We're chained to each other!" "It's not too late to turn back." "You just lost yourself for a moment, right?" "You gotta be kidding." "I made it, I'm not gonna turn back." "It may be fine for you but what about me?" "You're gonna have to come with me until this chain can be cut." "You think it's gonna be that easy?" "Are you gonna drag me along to the police to turn ourselves in?" "There's no use trying." "I'll pull you down all the way." "I'll tell them you dragged me off the truck even though I begged you not to." "Damn you!" "Once I get my teeth sunk in flesh, I never let go." "Kirikawa and Sawada were arrested right on the spot." "Tachibana and Gonda ran in the direction of Penke Seppu." "We're following their track." "About the rest of the group, their tracks were lost in the marsh area." "Help!" "We'll make it to Kushiro." "I do some hit and get money, then I can find many ways to get out of the country." "Do you really think you'll make it?" "I will, no matter what I've got to go through." "Leaving a track telling them you ran this way." "That's not a problem." "Just a while longer." "We'll cross here." "Our footprints will be erased." "I thought you said to hurry on." "I'm starving." "Unless I take a little break, I can't move no matter what happens." "Look, a bear's paw prints over there." "That's not good." "Hurry up." "They were a rabbit's paw prints, you bastard!" "Hey, seems like no one's home." "Look, potatoes!" "Hey, let's take care of this first." "You've gotta fill your belly up first." "Even if we find the tools, we wouldn't be able to do the labor." "Hey don't sweat." "This is like a relative's house, so to speak." "Don't worry." "Oh, sake offerings." "Honey, are you home?" "Hey, stop it!" "Stop it." "Damn it." "Why the hell did you get violent with that woman?" "I wasn't gonna be violent as long as I could get a hold of some food, clothes and money." "You're the reason why I did it." "What about me?" "You're still flaky." "I've made it so far, I don't want it all go down the drain now if you decide to try some trick on me." "You hit the woman to make me look like an accomplice?" "On top of that, we didn't break in any house that we happened to come across." "It gives us no consideration for extenuation, you see." "What?" "You see, that's the house of Officer Tsubaki, the one you respect highly." "Mr. Tsubaki's house?" "My guess is she was his wife." "Damn you!" "Bastard!" "Bastard!" "Hello?" "What?" "Gonda and Tachibana broke into a farm house?" "Mrs. Tsubaki was?" "What?" "Officer Tsubaki?" "Yes." "Then they're in this area." "Order of Parole for Mr. Shin'ichi Tachibana" "Mr. Tsubaki, your kind efforts have been wasted." "Plus, your wife was injured." "Oh..." "Tachibana's got mail from his family." "Brother, I have good news." "Thanks to the welfare commissioner, Mom was able to receive the operation at a town hospital." "Her recovery is excellent, and the doctor said she has nothing to worry about any more." "I'm sitting by Mom's bed as I write to you this happy message." "There's been several cases of runaway even when one's scheduled to be released in a month." "I've been dealing with them for years and still can't figure out their psychology." "He's a fool." "A big fool!" "Hey, come closer." "I said closer!" "If we keep our backs turned to each other like a couple who don't get along we'll be human ice candy by tomorrow morning." "Hey, don't let me do all the work, you do it too!" "What the hell is this?" "I see you want us both to freeze to death?" "Freedom is right in front of us." "That's it, that's it!" "You're such a baby." "I remember women." "What are you doing, you damn bastard!" "Hey, don't be so square." "Hey... wake up." "What is it?" "Piss." "Gotta piss." "Hey, hurry." "Hey wake up." "What is it?" "Piss?" "Shit." "If they're coming this route, there'll be no food." "It's a matter of time before they'll burn out." "If they do, it's a side road, so I'm not sure it is." "I'm sure this is it." "There's a tram!" "Alright..." "Out of the way." "Out of the way." "It's okay, it's okay." "It's broken!" "Out of the way, out of the way." "Mr. Tsubaki, please don't." "It's dangerous." "Out of the way." " Mr. Tsubaki!" "Out of the way." "Mr. Tsubaki, please don't!" "Put the brakes on." "Alright." "Hey, it's not working at all?" "What's wrong with it?" "Ask the tram!" "Oh, watch out!" "Hey!" "Stop or I'll shoot!" "Wait!" "Tachibana!" "I hope he's not really gonna shoot." "Why don't you ask him!" "This is no time to be joking." "Stop babbling." "Whatever will be will be." "Hey!" "Stop or I'll shoot!" "Hey!" "Stop or I'll shoot!" "Hey!" "Tachibana!" "You can't escape!" "The brake isn't working, you idiot!" "Damn it." "If I don't act quickly I'll crash into them." "Hey!" "When we come to a curve, jump off the tram!" "Hey!" "When you come to a curve, jump off!" "When the tram slows down, jump!" "Hey, do something about the brake." "I hope we'll make it to the last stop." "Yeah." "Hey those small bullets he used a minute ago weren't a problem but if he shooting at us, what are we gonna do?" "That's totally possible." "What to do?" "We'll get off the tram." "Hey, hey, don't be ridiculous." "What the hell are we gonna do?" "We'll get off the tram." "What else is there to do?" "I'm gonna do it even if you say no." "It's my turn to drag you along my way." "We'll jump at the count of three, where it seems soft enough to land." "Let's go." "That's it!" "Okay." "One two and three!" "Hey!" "The search troop's after us from above." "If we make it, we'll be greeted by Tsubaki down there." "You're the one who got everyone angry." "Okay, you can moan all you want when we get caught." "It isn't over yet." "If I'm correct, this is the area called Penke Seppu." "It's less than an hour to Kushiro by train." "I win!" "I've won the game." "Hey!" "You forgot something important." "What are we gonna do about this chain?" "You know what, I thought of a good idea just now." "Listen, you've gotta use your brain while you're around." "Hey, lie down here a minute." "Hey, lie on your back." "That's it, that's it." "Like that, and I do like this." "And the next train'll do it." "I see." "You're clever and wicked." "What?" "You got a problem?" "Yeah, I got a problem." "How come I'm in the middle of the track and you're on the safe side of it." "Don't worry." "The space underneath the train's pretty high." "Don't worry imagining you might get your head scraped off." "Then why don't you go inside?" "Hey, I'm the one who came up with this good idea." "Doesn't matter." "I'm not into letting trains choo-choo over my head." "Then what are gonna do?" "Let's roll the dices." "We ain't got any dice!" "You know what, I thought of a brilliant idea just now." "You've gotta use your brain while you're around." "We'll bet odd or even on the last digit of the number on the train." "Let's decide that way." "The kind of ideas a yakuza has." "We'll decide." "Even." "Odd." "If it's even, I'll lie outside of the track, and if it's odd?" "I'll lie on the safe side." "Hey, here comes the train." "If the driver sees us and stops the train, everything's gonna go up in smoke." "Let's do it at the bend over there." "I don't feel so good about this." "It's nothing compared to that tram." "It's even!" "I'm in the luck, I'm in the luck!" "Now, please go ahead." "I'm on my own." "I'm on my own!" "I'm free." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "What happened to you?" "Mom..." "Mom..." "Mom..." "Mom..." "Mom..." "Mom, please!" "Hey, hang on." "Hold on to me." "Don't move!" "I'll shoot if you do." "Tachibana..." "You're the scum of the human race." "You aren't worth living." "Please hold on." "Pleading for your life now?" "Just like a villain." "It isn't like that." "You can do whatever you want with me." "But I want you to help him." "Help Gonda?" "Yes." "He's hurt." "We've gotta get him treated right away, or he's gonna die." "He can go to hell." "I'm not angry 'cause my wife was injured." "I just can't stand small time villains who's rotten enough to attack helpless women and children." "Yet you make a big deal when it comes to helping your own kind." "It's not like that, Mr. Tsubaki." "I hated him so much I could kill him until a moment ago." "I hated him so much that I was going to leave this injured bastard." "Then you realized it was against yakuza's code of loyalty, didn't you?" "It ain't like that." "I heard him say something unconsciously." "He was calling out, "Mom, Mom," in delirium." "I realized he's far more unfortunate than I am." "He's a coward and he needs affection yet he acts macho out of his character." "I'm sure he cried when he was alone." "Listen, Mr. Tsubaki..." "I'll accept any kind of punishment." "But please take him to the hospital." "Mr. Tsubaki..." "I beg you." "Please." "So you're saying that if I help Gonda, you'll give up your own life?" "Yes." "You have my word." "All right." "Hey what are you waiting for?" "Quick, let's carry the injured." "Yes." "Mr. Tsubaki..." "It was me who hit your wife... and injured her." "It was me who dragged Tachibana off the truck against his will." "Don't talk, conserve your energy." "Let's hurry now." "If we get to the train station by five, we can catch the express to the hospital." "Mr. Tsubaki, your gun?" "The lighter the sleigh, the faster it runs." "When you're with brutal criminals like us?" "No, you're naive and soft-hearted... extremely." "There's a letter to you from home saying your mother had an operation and is alright now." "Mom is?" "Now, let's hurry."
