"Will it take much longer?" "I don't know." "If I can, I'll walk." "Akebono Company?" "No, that's impossible." "Instead of worrying, enjoy the ride." "Akebono company is doing well and expanding." "People from that Company are generous." "We taxi drivers have our problems." "The other day..." "I drove three Sumo wrestlers." "What a mistake that was!" "The suspension broke." "They wouldn't pay for repairs." "That was bad." "How much longer?" "I'm not sure." "Don't get a Sumo wrestler angry at you." "Remember that wrestler Fujinomaru?" "I don't know about Sumo." "You remember, three years ago..." "He killed another sumo and his lover." "He pleaded insanity and was freed." "It was on the news." "They said it was a planned murder." "Read about it?" "It was horrible." "The bodies were crushed into little pieces." "I hate things like that." "Regarding the wrestler who killed 2 people..." "And who was released three years ago by pleading insanity..." "The victims' families want a retrial." "The families believe he was not insane at the time of the killings." "The police are considering arresting the wrestler again." "THE GUARD FROM THE UNDERGROUND (Jigoku no keibiin) encoded and subtitled by [k]" "Where are you going?" "I'm meeting section 12's Mr. Kurume." "We don't have a section 12." "What does it do?" "Buy and sell paintings." "Paintings?" "Oh, the new division." "I'm sorry." "Your name?" "Narushima." "Ms. Akiko Narushima, first day." "That's right." "Did you bring a picture of yourself?" "Yes, do you want it now?" "Yes." "We need it for security reasons." "Is he new?" "Why isn't he getting out of the car?" "It's big, could have been smaller." "Yeah, it's quite big." "Well, it'll do." "We'll take care of it." "May I enter?" "Go ahead." "All right, it's a pleasure meeting you." "Pardon me?" "Lautrec..." "I've heard of it." "I understand Mr. Sakikabara." "It's the one in all the magazines." "What!" "?" "13 million dollars!" "Mr. Sakikabara, it's a little expensive." "Picasso... 15 million." "We don't mean to be stingy, but this is a new business for us." "How about something we can afford." "Yes we're studying." "We even hired a specialist." "Redon!" "?" "Hold on..." "I'll make a note." "Re-do-n" "Yes, I understand." "We'll get back to you on that." "Thank you for your co-operation." "Redon sold for $6 million in an auction last year." "Shit!" "That damn Sakakibara is looking down on us." "Laurencin for $460.000." "It's cheap." "No, it's not!" "The under $230.000 list?" "Wait a moment." "Um, let me see." "There is a Chagall in the range of $ 230.000." "A Chagall for under $ 230.000 Isn't that cheap?" "Where, when, and who bought it?" "But it's a print." "A print!" "?" "No good." "The famous ones are expensive." "Why do the prices vary so much, say, from Laurencin to Lautrec?" "As a specialist, explain that to me." "I only worked in a gallery." "I don't know details like that." "But I think it's because the two artists had a different impact on history." "And even if it is a print, it's beautiful." "Chagall's prints have value..." "However pretty, it's useless if no one buys it." "Yes." "The Redon you were talking about..." "Could you take a look?" "I've always liked it and recently it's become popular." "Gogh sells for $80 million, so $8 million for Redon isn't bad." "Do you know the value of $8 million?" "If you don't like it, that's fine." "But..." "But I think it's worth $8 million." "Don't talk to me in that tone." "I'm not a kid." "Get that list now." "Don't worry." "Mr. Kurume's always like that." "I'm not worried." "I'm new to this business myself." "That's all right." "You'll get the hang of it soon." "But maybe it's better not to get used to this." "Have you met personnel's Mr. Hyodo?" "No." "But didn't you come here on his recommendation?" "Yes, I heard so, but..." "Well, you'll meet him soon." "He's scary." "Oh." "He's weird." "He always works on his own." "He suddenly starts these big projects without permission." "It seems this new painting business is his idea, too." "Compared to him, Kurume's an angel." "Just don't take everything Kurume says seriously." "Nonomura, a customer." "Hurry up!" "I was going to show her around." "Later." "But she hasn't met Mr. Hyodo." "Our section has nothing to do with him." "Are you working for him or what?" "I'm not." "It's okay." "I'll return the key to the security room." "Do you know where." "Hurry up." "Sorry." "Come on." "Hurry up." "Mr. Hyodo, a telephone call." "I'm sleeping." "Excuse me." "Hello, I came here to return the key." "Can I help you?" "Yes, the key." "I see." "Isn't there anyone?" "No." "That's strange." "Well, I'll take it." "Thank you." "Oh, Fujinomaru, you're here." "How's the job?" "Used to it yet?" "That's the new woman in section 12, Akiko Narushima." "The picture didn't fit, so I clipped it on." "Nice person." "Who's that?" "It's probably Shirai." "Mr. Mamiya, what's your bet on the next race?" "Well..." "I'm not betting anymore." "Oh, that's a pity." "A specialist gave me a good hint." "No more for me." "I'm putting all my money on this race." "So give me back the $70,000." "$70,000?" "But it was $60,000." "I told you." "You owe me interest." "Why don't you make money on the races?" "Shirai..." "Wait another month, will you?" "I'll wait." "It doesn't have to be money." "There's the deed to your home." "Mr. Shirai, I'll introduce you to the new guy Fujinomaru." "Fujinomaru?" "Is that his real name?" "You trying to threaten me?" "What?" "I wouldn't do that." "Then what's that?" "Ms. Narushima." "$8 million for a Redon isn't bad." "I think so too, but..." "I'll take care of Mr. Kurume." "For now let's list cheaper ones, too." "Let's stay open minded and not get so involved for now." "Yes." "Which is more valuable." "The best second rate paintings or the worst first rate." "The best of the second class." "It depends on when they're bought though." "In the case of the painters best work, this doesn't change." "I see." "Canadian sausages from the food section." "Try them." "Go on." "Ms. Tanaka." "No thanks." "I knew it." "Mmm, good." "What do you think, Miss Narushima?" "Well..." "Thank you." "I'm going to make coffee." "We all want some." "I know, I know." "Shirai is late today." "Fujinomaru." "Where are you?" "Ah, here you are." "Fujinomaru, watch out for this." "If you turn this, you'll turn the old electric cables on." "Never switch this on, okay?" "Shirai is really late, don't you think?" "Open it." "Open it." "What's this?" "What did you do?" "You know why Shirai ended up like this." "What will we do?" "What will we do?" "That's all up to you." "Narushima, right?" "Yes." "I'm Hyodo." "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet." "That's okay." "How are you doing?" "I'm managing." "Oh yeah?" "A question." "There's a Christie's auction in NY." "Is $60 million for a Cezanne a f air price or not?" "Well, let me see." "A Cezanne, right?" "It's fair." "Thanks." "Sorry to bother you." "Ah, Mr. Hyodo." "We aren't thinking of spending that much." "It's not for your division." "It's no secret." "I'm doing this on my own." "So you can say what you want to Kurume." "Don't worry." "But if you have 60 million, Mr. Kurume will change his mind." "You think so?" "I don't expect anything from Kurume." "He'll mess up everything." "Then what should we do?" "That's up to you." "What?" "The rest are useless." "No..." "Hanae Takada, she's eager, but stupid." "So she's useless." "You're awful." "And Kei Nonomura." "He kisses ass, and that's the worst sort." "And Minoru Yoshioka." "He's an idiot." "You noticed?" "You mean you planned to close section 12 from the start?" "Why do such a thing?" "For the company?" "What gives you the right to do such a thing." "Sorry I over-reacted." "No, that's okay." "Thanks for the help on Cezanne." "Ms. Narushima." "Just a moment." "Ms. Narushima." "Sit right here." "It's insulin." "I'm a diabetic." "High interest accounts are good." "Yes..." "Take care of your parents." "Yes, thank you very much." "Relax." "Ms. Narushima." "I won't do anything." "Just watch closely." "Hello, security." "I'm locked in the store room, and I can't get out." "Please open the door." "Thank you." "Isn't Narushima with you?" "Not here yet?" "Not since noon." "How irresponsible of her." "Is that the guard?" "What happened?" "That door..." "What's wrong with it?" "There was someone at the other side." "Maybe that's the new guard." "He's new and still gets in the way." "Oh..." "What happened?" "She was trapped in the storage room." "That happens to everyone." "Thanks for your concern." "I'm fine now." "Come this way." "What is it?" "You didn't do anything to her, did you?" "Of course not." "It took you a long time to help her." "I swear I didn't do a thing." "You watch women on those screens." "No!" "I know." "I know you do." "But only fool around with the old ladies." "The young ones are off limits." "You understand." "If you'd like, you can go home early." "No, it's okay." "Next time you're trapped call the guard." "Yes, I did that, but..." "Anything else?" "The guard did come, but it was all a little strange." "Have you seen the new guard?" "No." "Have you seen him?" "No." "I saw him." "He was huge." "I bet he could rip open that door." "Anyway, he's huge." "About 2 meters?" "He's too big to be smart." "He couldn't open the door." "You were unlucky." "Get me that file." "Check the gallery." "Regarding the incident that occurred three years ago the police have decided to re-arrest the sumo wrestler." "They are searching for him now." "Here he is." "Kurume." "Section 12's boss." "He's usually with the others at noon." "But on his own after work hours." "If you want, I'll watch out for you on the monitors." "But don't kill him." "That's no fun." "Half dead, but no more, okay?" "You look happy." "I've also had a lot of fun since meeting you." "Especially today." "What's that?" "You stole it?" "No, I didn't." "A certain person left it for me." "Do you know why?" "She's trying to test me." "But... time's running out for me." "This is the storage room key." "Excuse me." "I wanted to ask you something." "Did you find an earring?" "Earring?" "Yes, one just like this one." "No." "But I'll let you know if I find one." "Thank you." "I saw the new guard this morning." "I was surprised he was so big." "Really." "I heard he used to be a sumo wrestler." "No wonder." "Oh, he's a sumo wrestler." "I've never seen him on TV." "He wouldn't be here if he could be on TV." "That's true." "He's a failure." "He's really strange." "He's got an earring." "Maybe he thinks it's cool." "Really." "Don't talk about that crap." "Okay, okay." "Excuse me." "The guard just went downstairs." "You can't go in." "Oh, I'm sorry." "What do you want?" "Nothing." "Do you work here?" "Yes, section 12." "I've never heard of section 12." "Don't bullshit!" "What?" "Isn't the guard here?" "I don't know, why?" "I see." "If you see the guard, tell him to clean the circuit breaker." "I'm an electrician, not a maid." "I'm sorry." "Don't apologize." "Hold this." "Labor costs a lot." "Small companies can't afford more than a day." "Thanks." "I thought someone was in there." "Maybe the guard." "I don't know." "The company doesn't directly hire guards." "I don't know their division." "Maybe we can call the guard's company, or the police." "I don't really care about the earring, but..." "The picture, right?" "Yeah." "I know you feel uncomfortable." "You gave him the picture and you dropped the earring." "Maybe I'm just being too nervous." "We should talk to Hyodo in Personnel." "Mr. Hyodo?" "He can help." "He's strange, but he knows lots of people." "I can talk to him for you." "That's okay." "I've talked to him before." "Cheer up." "Thanks." "Mr. Hyodo, call for you from Ms. Narushima." ""Wake me up at 6:00 PM."" "Really..." "It's okay, but..." "Okay, good-bye." "Mr. Yoshioka can't come either." "I see." "Everybody should know today is your welcoming party." "A party for two?" "Thanks, but I can't." "I still have a lot of work to do." "It's dangerous to work late alone." "The guard." "Nonomura, let's go." "Yes, but..." "Still working, right?" "Yes." "See." "I'm staying here with Ms. Narushima." "Nonomura!" "Let's go home." "Okay." "See you tomorrow." "I forgot something." "You go on." "See you tomorrow." "Something wrong?" "Just go on." "All right." "Shut him up." "You don't have to kill him." "You don't..." "Stop it!" "Please!" "Excuse me, is Mr. Kurume here?" "No, he isn't." "I see." ""Personnel section"" "Can I help you?" "Isn't Mr. Kurume here?" "No." "Would have been easier to call." "The secretary didn't answer." "She's off today." "What time is it?" "11:00 o'clock." "11:00 o'clock... 9:00 PM in NY." "Too late to call." "My throat hurts, I should... quit smoking." "Tell Mr. Kurume to come to section 12 ASAP if you see him." "Okay." "I have to go." "Wait a minute." "Could you get me something to drink?" "Mmm..." "Good." "Mr. Hyodo." "Do you know the new guard?" "No." "Oh." "Why?" "He's really big." "You'd recognize him if you saw him." "He's wearing an earring I dropped." "It makes me uncomfortable." "I'll talk to him." "Nobody's there." "Okay." "I'll see what I can do." "Thank you." "One more thing." "Please tell Ms. Takada." "She's in charge when Mr. Kurume isn't here." "All right." "We did it." "We got Chagall's wood-block print for $190.000." "That's great." "We'll be busy." "Make up a buyer's list." "Akebono company." "Hello Mr. Sakakibara, it's me, Ms. Takada." "Mr. Kurume isn't here today." "Yes, I can take a message for him." "Working late again." "Yeah." "Ms. Narushima." "Yes?" "Can we talk?" "What is it?" "About last night..." "What about last night?" "Mr. Kurume didn't show up because of last night." "He's only human, you know." "Maybe he doesn't want to see you today." "What happened last night?" "Didn't he come here last night?" "No, he didn't." "I know he did." "But I couldn't do anything about it." "He didn't come here." "But, he went back to see you." "Really?" "I should have protected you." "I think you're misunderstanding something." "Mr. Kurume didn't come back last night." "Then... where did he go?" "What are you doing?" "She's not our problem." "Why did you..." "You still don't know what kind of person I am." "I..." "I understand." "Sorry to bother you." "I'm sorry, Fujinomaru." "Forgive me." "I won't do anything." "Let me go." "Why should I?" "Please..." "let me go." "Please..." "You said you understood me, but if you could..." "My spine." "You're breaking my spine." "You couldn't handle it." "Thank you." "You saved my life." "Call the police." "The police will come anyway." "What's your rush." "Oh, no rush." "I'm not in a hurry." "Really, I'm not." "Remember me." "Of course." "Make sure you don't forget me." "I'm going to make some coffee." "I'll do it." "Really, I will." "No, no." "Really." "Thanks." "Sorry for the trouble." "What happened?" "I'll call the ambulance." "Stay still." "We've got to get out of here." "Wait a second." "What's wrong?" "Nonomura, she's here." "Are you okay?" "I was wondering where you were." "Someone's been murdered." "That big guard did it." "It's too dangerous here." "Return to the 4th floor." "Mr. Yoshioka." "What a sight..." "Call the police." "What..." "It's been cut off." "Look for an exit." "It's no good." "Let's go back to the 4th floor first." "It's broken." "Ms. Takada." "Oh, you're here." "Where else can I be?" "The lights won't go on." "That's not important now." "Someone's been murdered." "What?" "That guard." "What?" "Where's Mr. Nonomura?" "I don't know." "He was here, but left to make coffee." "The kitchen." "What the hell is this?" "It's terrible." "What shall we do?" "We'll break a window and jump down." "I've heard about you." "But this, this is sick." "Do you know what you did?" "You don't know." "Your mind's messed up." "I'm going to call the police." "Give me the key." "All right." "Put the key on that tray." "Then you can go." "Can you do that?" "Come and get it." "No." "It can't be helped." "I guess I'll find an exit somewhere." "See you." "It's no good." "Everywhere's shut." "There?" "No." "Why the hell don't the lights go on?" "No one can help us." "We can't get out of here." "Don't say that." "Mr. Hyodo." "You guys." "All locked up." "I see..." "He's a clever one." "He's going to kill us to." "We've got to do something about it." "Is everyone here." "Yes." "Go to my room." "He can't open my room." "How long must we stay?" "What can we do?" "I'm thinking." "How can we call for help?" "Try the window." "Maybe someone's watching the building." "The phone and f ax lines have been cut." "What about sending a telex?" "It uses a different line than the telephone." "We don't have a telex machine." "Section 12 has one." "Who wants to go?" "Me." "Don't go alone." "We can go together." "We can't do that." "Don't worry, I can run away from him." "He can't get me." "Who can I telex?" "It's midnight." "New York." "Ms. Narushima." "I must apologize for calling him an idiot." "Okay, it works." "Mr. Hyodo." "I know." "He's taking too long." "We must help him." "Too late maybe." "You can't go alone." "If he's hurt, you'll need help." "That's right." "Listen to me Ms. Takada." "Is it over?" "Are we safe now?" "Not yet." "Mr. Hyodo and I are going to look for Yoshioka." "It's safe here." "Lock the door." "When we come back, we'll knock three times." "Okay?" "We're too late." "Look, Mr. Yoshioka." "Did you telex?" "Okay, good job." "Who is it?" "Ms. Narushima?" "Mr. Hyodo." "Who is it?" "They should knock three times." "No, I won't open it." "No, wait." "Don't go." "Stop it." "Hurry up." "Stop it." "Please stop it!" "Why are you doing this?" "You need courage to understand why." "I have courage." "Please explain." "You're unlucky." "That's no explanation." "I want to know you better, so explain." "If you can't explain, stop this." "You just appeared in my life that's when it all started." "I knew that this would happen." "I'm living in a different time than you." "What do you mean?" "A time of desperation." "That's not true." "You and I are both human." "Our time is equal." "No, it's all different." "Use your brain a little." "Okay, fine." "I don't want to know you anymore." "Don't bother me anymore." "Go back where you belong." "Don't come back." "All right." "You can't accept that people like me exist." "I don't accept it." "But I exist here." "That's my explanation." "Don't you ever ever forget me." "He's all right." "He's alive." "And I got the Cezanne for $65 million." "I got a weird call from New York." "What happened?"
