"So, where are you right now?" "I see." "I have to go." "My master is calling." "Excuse me." "You wanted to see me sir?" "Who..." "Who is that woman?" "The woman on the monitor." "I believe... that is the wife of President Toyama and a world famous dancer..." "Shizuko Toyama." "FLOWER AND SNAKE SubText:" "NoRMITA.326" "That dream again..." "It's time to announce the winners of the 1993 National Dance Contest." "And the winners are... number 141, the group of Kenji Mochida and Shizuko Kisaragi." "Trophy to be presented by our guest judge, President Takayoshi Toyama." "Working too hard, huh?" "Yes?" " You were groaning again." " I'm sorry." "This schedule is very hectic, just like a celebrity's." "I see there's no choice for tonight due to the dinner show... but is it really necessary for tomorrow's TV show?" "I'm sorry." "But my former manager arranged for it." "Your job requires you to be in top-notch physical condition." "Don't get crushed down by popularity." " The driver is here now." " Ah, OK." "Well, I'm very proud to have a world famous tango dancer as a wife." "I'll be more careful." "Can your manager be someone outside the industry?" "Yes." "I believe there is this macho ex-cop." "Isn't that right Eguchi?" "Yes, good morning." "Good morning." " At the investigation agency we use..." " The Yamazaki investigation agency." " Any good ones?" " Let's see..." "A bodyguard for me?" "To ward off stalkers." "What if some maniac with a fixation tries to kidnap you?" "Even Eguchi over here is a huge fan of yours." " Isn't that right, Eguchi?" " Yes!" "You see what I mean?" "Have a nice day." "Come in." "Minister Tomimoto is here." "Thank you for coming." "I don't have much time today." "You have someone you would like to introduce?" " Hey!" " Sir, please come in." "Let me introduce Mikizo Morita." "President of Morita Corporation." "This is President Toyama." "Pleased to meet you." "Same here." "I'm here." "Tashiro, you mean Mr. Ippei Tashiro?" "Impressive building!" "Intelligent structure on such a prime site!" "100 billion yen asset indeed." "Well done for a man of such youth." "I have heard a great deal about Mr. Tashiro from my father." "How is he?" "This was sent for Mr. Tashiro." " Come in." " Excuse me." "Ah." "It's here, it's here!" "Good job." "PLEASE INVESTIGATE." "MORITA" "YAKUZA?" "And your support for the project?" "I'm glad to be part of it." "How much did you pay for the site?" "50...80 billion?" " Who is it?" " It's Kazuo Kawada." "Kawada?" "For the great financial loss Kawada is to blame." "He must resign." "All in favor?" "Please give me one more chance." "I have a wife and daughter to support!" "Agreed!" "I'd have never guessed this company to be so huge." "I'll contact you later." "What the hell?" "That bastard's as guilty as I am!" " Revenge, for firing him." " What revenge?" "He's unemployed, his wife left, and he started gambling." "He's also in heavy debt." "Our boss hates people like you." "He says the war wasn't fought for idiots like you." "Let's cut the crap!" "Name your price!" "Are you OK?" "Drive!" "Alright." "Asshole!" "Are you OK?" "Look what they've done to you." "Mrs. Toyama, right?" "Yes." "I'm Kyoko Nojima, your new manager and bodyguard." "Sure you're not hurt?" "Bodyguard?" "I thought you'd be a macho guy." "I'm macho!" "What the hell do you mean?" "We seek several billion yen in timely contributions." "There must be another way!" "Give us your wife... the world famous dancer." "Why her?" "If she dances for him..." "Is that worth that much?" "What do you intend on doing to her?" " Hey!" " Stand back!" "Unfortunately, she's not worth it." "She may look hot and sexy, but in fact, she's an ice queen." "I know..." "From failed ballerina to dance champion." "Beautiful and talented." "Pure as snow, then, she married you." "And now a world-class tango dancer thanks to you." "Like a virgin." "What a windfall!" "By the way, this is my idea, not Mr. Tashiro's." "He just likes beautiful things." "He himself is one of a kind." "So what?" "Give him the rare beauty of your wife and... you're off the hook." "And what about the minister?" "Why pick on me?" "He's of no use to us anymore." "His days are over." "You are one lucky guy to have such an attractive wife!" "Who the hell are you people?" "Boss, I know who they are!" "Let's call the cops!" "It's alright." "You asshole!" "Boss!" " The cops!" " No!" " That won't be necessary." " Hey!" "This is not a game!" "This is my job." "If I fail..." "I must pay with my life." "You got that kiddo?" "Or would you rather I put this on the web?" "Wait!" "What do you want me to do?" "Come in." "Mr. Yamazaki is here." "Find anything useful?" " Thank you for using Kyoko..." " Enough." "Get to the point!" "About Ippei Tashiro..." "Is he alive?" "He made a fortune in the war in Manchuria... and at over 95 is still in good health." "95?" "Yes." "Though confined to a wheelchair... he still has great influence over politicians and the underworld." "Didn't know he's that old." " Unbelievable..." " And as for Morita..." "Enough!" "It's very late." "We'll talk tomorrow." "As you wish." "Good night." "Good night." "95?" "Is that it?" "He just wants to see her naked?" "She'll give him a heart attack." "I can be off the hook and save a lot of money." "Perfect!" "Her future is at stake too." "I need her help!" "She must!" "She'll understand." "It's our happiness that's at stake." "I have to see an acupuncturist." "See you on Monday." "I'm so tired." "You've been working too hard." "Please... lay on your back." "You're back..." "Sorry, must've fallen asleep..." "What's the matter?" "What?" "Nothing." "Dinner?" "Or shower first?" "Shizuko." "Yes?" "You wanna have some wine?" "Wine?" "A masked ball?" "That's fantastic!" "I'll go!" "It's tomorrow night." "Don't you have work then?" "I can cancel." "The new manager is great." "She's quite macho too." "Thanks." "I'm glad." "Where's the party at?" "I must practice my waltz." "Where's that Dead of Winter CD..." "Practice?" "You?" "Who's the host?" "Well..." "Mr. Tashiro, a man with great power over the political world." "A fixer?" "Exactly." "My father knew him." "Hey, let's dance!" "Now?" "It's been a while..." "Ten years." "Really?" "Since the wedding?" "May I have this dance?" "With pleasure." "He has a huge mansion up in the mountains... and throws parties for politicians and celebrities." "Always invites me, but I'm usually busy." "This time though, I must go." "He's an old man and quite a fan of yours." "You alright?" "Sorry." "It hurts." "Sorry." "It's not you..." "It's my fault." "Forgive me." "Maybe with another man, you'd feel it too." "Nonsense..." "I don't want another man." "I'm pitiful." "Honey, I've made a decision." "I'll work less and spend more time caring for you." "This should help you... recover your energy." "But..." " What about your dancing?" " I won't give it up." "Just work less." "OK?" "What's wrong?" "Let's skip the party." "What?" "It's such late notice to get ready for and..." "I'll be fine." "Don't worry." "Let's cancel it." "Why?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "It's just..." "I'll get it." "Yes?" "You still awake?" "The minister's dead." "He hung himself." "What?" "When is the news?" "He just killed himself." "So watch the news at noon." "Did you bug my house?" "We'll be expecting you shortly..." "What's wrong?" "A friend of yours?" "No..." "Perhaps we should go tonight." "What?" "How mysterious." "Yeah." "Our guest of honor, the world famous tango dancer, Shizuko Toyama." "Thanks." "May I have this dance?" "With pleasure." " What's wrong?" " Let's leave." "Sorry." "You!" "Mr. Kawada?" "Give me one more chance!" "I have a family to support..." "One more chance..." "Just kidding." "Madam, may I cut in?" "Wait a minute!" "Where are you taking me?" "Let me go!" "Please!" "I'll pay." "It's too late now!" "No!" "Shizuko!" "Shizuko!" "Don't go!" "Help!" "Mr. Morita, let me do it." "I deserve it." "It doesn't matter who it is." "Stars... what the Coliseum needs is stars or it's the end!" "Now I can finally repay my debts to Mr. Tashiro." "What debts?" " Hey Kawada." " Yes?" "Don't you know that Mr. Tashiro raised the boss like his son..." "That's enough!" "Sorry." "Ladies and gentlemen." "Welcome, distinguished guests... tonight's main attraction, the high-class, world-famous dancer..." "Madam Shizuko!" "What is all this?" "You all know her... but is this really her?" "Show us, madam, take off your clothes!" "What?" "Take off your dress!" "Take it off?" "Madam Shizuko!" "Do as you're told... or the driver dies." "Mr. Eguchi!" "Madam..." "Madam Shizuko!" "Take off your dress or the driver dies." "You give us no choice!" "We'll kill him like this woman!" "I see." "As you wish... he shall die!" "Music, maestro!" "No!" "I'll take it off." "Splendid." "Then, please, take it off!" "Is this all, madam?" "Take everything off!" "A high-class lady indeed!" "Too bad for the driver." "Farewell!" "Stop it!" "I'll do it." "Stand up!" "Don't cover yourself!" "The audience awaits!" "Show them... your... everything!" "Do as he says!" "Show it all!" "What are you doing?" "Ask your husband." "He's being manipulated by these guys." "Do as he says and it will be over." "You!" "Mr. Kawada!" "Hey, bitch!" "Shut your yelping!" "Do it now!" "Lady, my ass!" "Hold her!" "Can't!" "Can't get it up." "Do it, come on!" "I can't get it up!" "I can't get it up!" "I can't..." "What was that all about?" "I apologize for this." "No, no... it's OK." "What?" "My, oh, my!" "The loyal servant burning for revenge... and the noble lady..." "Alas, the rape failed!" "What a sorrowful tango!" "Enough!" "Release me!" "Now!" "Return to your seats please!" "Release me!" "Release me!" "Release me!" "Take the chains off!" "Release me!" "It's me." "It hurts." "Bastards!" "Help me." "I rule!" "Don't fuck with Yakuza!" "It's all a show to see him killed." "Don't resist them." "Got it?" "Do as they say... or you'll never leave this hell." "What's this?" "Is this a nightmare?" "Shizuko..." "Shizuko!" "Shizuko!" "Shizuko!" "Shizuko?" "Yes, we were supposed to meet at 1:00, but she's not here yet." "She's not there!" "But it's a live broadcast!" "Did something happen last night?" "Mind your own business!" "What now?" "Watch where you're going." "The Missus needs you." "What the hell..." "It's no good..." "They're not stupid." "What have I done?" "Shizuko!" "Damn it!" "Mrs. Toyama!" "Oh, she's awakened!" "Next up..." "Sold to the mafia by her beloved husband in return for his debts... the president's wife is gonna be learning... the painful way of becoming a porn star!" "Madam!" "But the chaste lady... is in fact... a frigid bitch and won't cooperate." "So the audience is bored." "If she continues like this... we'll have to kill her." "Her life is in your hands, Kyoko!" "Now you see it going in..." "What could it be?" "Now it's done." "What are you doing, you freaks?" "What the hell is this?" "A secret show... for a select audience." "You heard of a clown." "Some of our guests here... they get their kicks from dead bodies." "If she's useless alive, they'd love to watch her die." "Hey!" "Look!" "Poor little Kyoko!" "Such a cute fighter!" "So strong and tough!" "Misses, if you don't cooperate, poor Kyoko will suffer." "Can you withstand the master of pain?" "Behold, trainer Onigen!" "Who the fuck?" "Don't touch me!" "Poor girl." "Poor little Kyoko!" "What unbearable pain!" "Do as they say, or she'll die!" "Poor naked madam!" "Hasn't relieved herself for 12 hours." "She can't do it if we watch." "Why?" "Coz she's a real lady." "Right?" "A moment ago though, we gave her a diuretic." "Pee or poor Kyoko will suffer." "Don't listen to him!" "Don't!" "Be strong!" ""Don't!" "Be strong!" "Like me!" "Don't listen to him!"" "So you still won't?" "Well, I have no choice." "Her clothes shall be stripped off!" "Well done, Shizuko!" "Shall we go on?" "You're the stars now!" "Madam Shizuko sold out by her husband and her bodyguard." "A tragic lesbian show!" "Why would he..." "Why would he do such a thing?" "That's right." "He sold her for several billion." "No!" "Yes, he did." "He's a coward!" "A weak businessman turned alcoholic." "No!" "Right." "He's useless." "Left all the work to us and drank." "Jealousy made him an alcoholic." "Useless fool!" "Liar, liar!" "Enter Kyoko!" "What the..." "You son of a bitch!" "Stop it!" "No!" "So... what'll be her fate?" "She'll go mad soon." "You're all she has." "Will you save her?" "Really?" "Are you sure?" "Alright!" "Let the show begin!" "No!" "Now..." "Let yourself go!" "Let your inhibition go free!" "Release yourself!" "Golden rain will fall." "In and out... front and back." "What will happen when the water starts flowing..." "Kyoko..." "Mrs. Toyama..." "They're watching us." "Fake it if you must!" "Otherwise they'll kill you." "Understand?" "Listen to me!" "Pretend you enjoy it... and we might get a chance to escape." "Sorry for this." "It's good." "You wanna get screwed, do you?" "Want me to screw you?" "Bitch!" "I won't hurt you." "Just pretend to enjoy it." "Please." "I'm all confused." "I love you so much." "I always watch you, even on TV." "And now, to be able to do this... it's wonderful!" "If they kill us here in the mountains, no one will ever find us." "He sold you for several billion... bought himself out..." "I'll be over." "Get out!" "Both of you!" "Run!" "This way!" "This place..." "Is this the way?" "I think so." "That door..." " Wait, there's something's wrong!" " What is it?" " It's just like before..." " Before?" "It's a trap!" "Kyoko!" "Are you OK?" "Bastards!" "Welcome back to the Rape  Snuff show... ladies and gentlemen!" "For your enjoyment this angelic face and tough body!" " Let's go!" "Go!" "Go!" " Stay away!" "No!" "Don't kill her!" "Please!" "Don't!" "Please!" "I'll do anything." "Don't kill her!" "It's me." "Promise?" "If you lie, I'll stick needles in you." "Please, forgive me!" "Madam!" "I'm really sorry!" "So beautiful." "What's wrong?" "Here, here." "There, there." "There, see that?" "There, there." "There." "Don't be shy." "Let me see." "Were you a naughty girl?" "Yes!" "Were you?" "Speak up!" "Yes!" "Were you?" "Then I have to punish you more!" "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed our whore show!" "It's time for the grand finale!" "She's faking?" "No way!" "Onigen's a professional." "She came!" "Gave me a hard-on, too!" "No, Mr. Tashiro knows... she still hasn't shown her real face." "Real face?" "This location isn't safe anymore." "Someone might speak." "We must use our last resort." "The last?" "Here's one billion yen." "It's all I have left." "Let her go..." "I mean it!" "Let her go, or I'll go to the police." "The truth is..." "What?" "She's having so much fun that she may not want to come back to you." "What do you mean?" "She knows how you sold her out." "And so..." "I'm giving you all my money!" "How about you go and convince her to return." "So this is the Coliseum..." "Annual membership is 50 million and a million per show." "There are currently 100 members." "Strictly intellectuals, stars, and celebrities." "It's their fantasyland." "And the show is superb!" "I hope you enjoy it." "Please!" "What the hell?" "What do you think you're doing!" "Shizuko..." "Do me." "Just do me." "Shizuko..." "Forgive me!" "I bought you back with everything I had." "Let's start over." "Just the two of us." "Do me..." "Beautiful." "Master..." "So beautiful." "Let's go home." "Hey you!" "Let go of me!" "Shizuko!" "Let her go!" "Shizuko!" "So it has to be with the one he loves." "I want her back!" "I love her." "I love her." "The show's not over." "You'll have to wait a little longer." "It's magnificent!" "Long live the Coliseum!" "Forever!" "No!" "What's wrong?" "Leave!" "As you wish." "Just in case." "I'm good." "Beautiful." "Beautiful." "Are you..." "Beautiful." "Will you dance with me?" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "You bitch!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "You whore!" "Bring him back!" "Bring him back!" "Bring him back!" "Bring him back!" "Bring him back!" "Shoot me!" "Shoot me, bitch!" "Shoot me!" "Shoot me!" "Kyoko, I'm coming to get you." "What is this place?" "No!" "Where am I?" "Where?" "Shizuko." "Let's go home Shizuko." "You had a nightmare." "Is it really you?" "Was it all just a dream..." "Just a dream?" "It's the same dream." "Let's go home, just the two of us." "When did it... start?" "When indeed?" "The night before... the masked ball?" "No..." "The day we met?" "Madam... may I have this dance?" "With pleasure." "We must finish the dance." "No!" "Shizuko, I love you." "Welcome to the show!"
