Bokuno onna ni teodasuna (1986) - full transcript
You making fish again?
I told you it makes the room
stink of fish, didn't I?
It's not your room, is it?
I don't mind some candles
once in a while,
but they really don't go well
with the smell of dried mackerel.
They cut the electricity.
- Really?
- Really.
Poor as a church mouse…
I dunno about you,
but I can't afford
to enjoy being poor. Idiot.
You gotta deal with poverty if you
wanna live life as you please.
Big words from some lazy bones.
Giving me life lessons.
Aren't you a little young
for that, Michiko?
I'm already 17, you know!
Then isn't it time you start
getting serious about things?
Why don't you go home?
You're graduating next year,
rigtht?
I just went home.
Needed some money.
Didn't get any, though.
Parents started crying.
Well, duh.
Shouldn't make 'em cry.
Hitomi, are you for real
about cleaning up your act?
Yeah.
Your job fun?
A woman who works hard
is beautiful.
My, my.
Look at you.
Don't walk around at night
by yourself.
Oh shut up.
You're gonna end up in a ditch,
carrying on like you do.
Quiet, orphan.
Hey, don't overdo it.
You're gonna break the glass.
Sorry.
One, ten, hundred, thousand,
ten thousand, hundred thousand…
210,000. Wow…
Hey! Naughty!
You can't do that. Geez…
What are you doing?
My poor lil' Linda.
Are you being bullied?
I am not bullying her.
That dog's a shoplifter.
Excuse me?
My dog would never.
- Tell me what she took and I'll pay.
- It's not about money.
Are you the manager?
No, you're a little too cocky
for that.
What are you doing? Please
accept our apologies, madam.
- Awful woman!
- Apologize.
We are very sorry.
Forgive us.
The scary lady is back.
So, so scary.
I am not scary.
Yer fired!
Wake up!
Oh, Hitomi.
I've got a hangover.
- Get me some water.
- Get it yourself.
Why you gotta be so cold?
Get out when you're done.
Bye.
- Who was that?
- Oh…
Smelled of liquor. Disgusting.
Sorry, I don't know the guy.
You always let strangers
sleep here?
What about her?
- Ah, that's…
- Another stranger?
We agreed that if you didn't have my
rent by today you'd leave, right?
Ah, yes.
But this room's sure
taken a beating.
Don't you ever clean?
Sorry.
You're leaving tomorrow,
you hear?
- Owner, another round!
- Sure. How many?
- Just one.
- Catch.
- Owner, I'm returning these.
- Alright, thank you.
- Owner, pass me another.
- Catch.
Can I get one, too, owner?
Okay but I'm gonna need
some collateral.
It was never a problem before.
You went 'n cleaned up
your act, right?
Sorry. Don't trust flakey people.
But I don't have any collateral…
- Wanna lend some money?
- Really?
Sure. All ya gotta do is
go out with me tonight.
No way.
Don't wanna end up
drugged or something.
What do you take me for?
And where are you now, sir?
I see, okay.
Hotel Rich, room 402.
Well we have about ten girls.
Okay. A bright and cheery girl?
Sure.
The one with the lightest,
softest skin…
Yeah, we have girls with long hair.
Got just the one for you.
You only have 20,000 yen? Ah well.
(147 USD)
Ah, no,
I'm sending her over right now.
You're gonna love her.
Should be there in fifteen minutes.
You're welcome.
Sanae, Hotel Rich, room 402.
- Okay.
- Make sure he pays first.
I will.
Oh, Hitomi.
Where've you been?
Lend me some money.
- No way.
- Come on.
Nothing but trouble comes
from lending friends money.
Oh, you looking for work?
Oh yeah,
what happened?
Michiko was here before.
- She on the job?
- Yeah.
Hey, you wanna hop
in the shower with me?
I'll wash your back for ya.
No?
Ah man, I'm dying here.
High school girl, huh?
You're killin' me.
- What is it?
- Come with me.
- Hey, that hurts.
- What are you thinking?
- What's going on?
- She's my friend.
I didn't ask for a threesome,
but… sure!
Pervert.
Sigh…
I thought if I just put up with it
for two hours,
I'd be able to pay our rent.
Worry about your body
instead of rent.
You're that concerned about me?
It's 'cause I love you.
But what are we gonna do?
Living life seriously…
Maybe you just gotta be craftier…
Anyone there?
Hello?
Anyone?
Hm?
Hey, wait, who's there?!
Thieves, duh.
Azabu 3 for HQ, come in, over.
- This is HQ. Over.
- No movement from the suspect tonight.
Gonna call off
surveillance and head back.
- Over.
- Understood. Over.
Thief! Thief!
Thief! Stop them!
- What?
- "What"?
Here.
Oh! Louis XIII,
pricey stuff.
Cops!
Cops!
Don't move!
Did a young woman come in here?
I see…
Hey.
- Arrest the lot of them.
- Hey…
Anything wrong, officer?
- No, nothing. Keep moving.
- Ah, okay. Thanks.
Yes, please keep it moving.
A friend?
Does it matter?
Who are you?
A lawyer.
I could be of use
to someone like you.
Take it.
Where you going?
Here's fine. Let me off.
Feel free to
reach out to me.
- She's not here.
- Do you know anywhere she could be?
Hmmm, I don't know.
I see. Okay, thanks.
I'm on it, but
the Yonekuras' land
is spread all over Japan.
Can't expect too much
from it as real estate.
What? Yeah.
That's right.
I'll bring the file over
tomorrow.
Yes. Bye.
What's up?
Here.
Thanks, for saving my ass.
You stole this, right?
Just tell me
if you don't want it.
No, I'll take it.
Come in.
Alright, let's eat.
Not hungry.
Hot pot's no good if you have to
eat it by yourself.
Join me.
Sorry.
I get a lot of phone calls.
This is Kashima Law Office.
I'm currently not in,
so please leave a
message after the tone.
I will contact you as soon
as I receive your message.
This is Miyamoto, I called you the other
day. I wanted your opinion on something.
So I went back home yesterday,
and I called my husband to confront him,
but a woman picked up.
Said she was his subordinate…
This isn't very
dinner appropriate, is it?
Telling me all about how shamelessly
he's been cheating on me…
How is it?
- A little bland.
- That so?
Here, help yourself.
Hm.
That's a bit better.
A rotten apple with a
good sense of taste, huh?
- Shut up.
- What?
You let your guard down and
suddenly you lose all reserve, huh?
Wouldn't be much of a
delinquent if I held back, right?
A real delinquent
doesn't call herself one.
Don't you have a home?
Parents?
Dunno.
Never met 'em.
What's up with the
friendly act all of a sudden?
I'm the same way.
Don't have any parents.
You're not the only one.
Guess there are others out there
taking things seriously.
Got a job?
No matter what I do,
it never works out.
Because you're selfish, right?
I don't understand why anyone
would wanna be a lawyer.
Lawyers exist to serve others.
That sounded pretty cool.
There are those who are used,
and those who use others.
Guess you haven't
realized that yet.
You tired?
- Sofa fine?
- Yeah.
What's your name?
Hitomi Kuroda.
- I'm turning off the light.
- Okay.
Pajamas.
Not that I mind it, but…
Isn't this more the kinda place
you'd bring your lover?
It is?
Yeah.
Mr. Kashima.
Wait here.
Nowhere good left, huh?
Looks like it was all bought up
when you were in the US,
You'd think a guy
gets tired of fish…
The land owned by the main family
is under Susumu's name now.
It'll take some time if you want to put
in a claim to reduce the heir's shares.
I can't wait.
- You understand, right?
- I do.
"I can't wait any longer."
"I've got a job to do."
"And what do I do?"
"Give me time."
You didn't have to go and
break up with her in front of me.
Ms. Hitomi?
Ms. Taeko Yonekura.
Hello.
What were you looking at?
Ah, just admiring the boats.
You wanna ride one?
Ms. Taeko's looking for a
tutor for her kid brother Susumu.
Wanna give it a go?
Tutor? I didn't even finish school.
Don't worry,
he's only in the first grade.
It's a good opportunity
to start fresh.
Aren't rich people all terrible?
That island over there's called
Mukushima.
The Yonekuras own it.
They've got 18 more resorts like it.
You ever known anyone that rich?
It's getting cold,
let's go back.
Okay.
Daizo Yonekura died
on that island
during a fishing accident
three months ago.
Seven year old Susumu
succeeded him
as the 24th patron
of the Yonekura family.
The Mizutanis have been serving
the Yonekuras for generations,
so they're now
looking after Susumu.
What about Ms. Taeko?
Ms. Taeko is only his
half-sister.
She also has no interest
in living here.
Why?
She wants to keep working
in the US.
- What does she do?
- She's an "Artist Coordinator."
It seems she's got a big event
in New York at the end of the year.
You can't tell
from looking at her.
Looks can be deceiving.
Especially with women.
- Sorry I'm late.
- Where's Ms. Hitomi?
Ah, she's waiting for you.
Ms. Hitomi.
I'm so glad you came!
Thank you!
- Thank you for having me.
- Kiyo!
Kiyo, come here.
This here is Ms. Hitomi Kuroda.
This is Mrs. Kiyo Mizutani.
She's been with the family forever.
Pleased to meet you.
Could you show her to her room?
So you studied English Literature
at Tokyo Women's University?
Yes.
If you think this is some cushy
part-time job you're wrong.
Yes…
Your room is on the second floor.
Ah, yes.
And please do not enter
any of the other rooms.
What happened?
Susumu?
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I'm not that easily scared.
Good morning!
- Ah, good morning.
- Young sir is waiting.
- What about school?
- He hates it.
Which is why you are here.
We're expecting a lot from you.
Susumu, can I come in?
I'm coming in, okay?
You can't just enter
someone's room, y'know.
Sorry… Wow!
No touching!
You'll ruin them.
So you like fishing?
Ah, um…
I'll be your study
partner starting today.
Name's Hitomi Kuroda.
Nice to meetcha!
You sure gave me
a scare yesterday.
So,
why don't you go to school?
Ya sure are nosy for a tutor.
"Ya"?
What are you getting scared about?
Yes.
The money will come in
by the middle of the month,
so keep getting the performers.
And don't worry,
I'm back at the beginning
of next month. Bye.
Thanks.
- Hitomi, hurry.
- Coming.
What're you doing, Hitomi?
Come on!
Yes.
That one right there!
Quick, catch it!
There, there! That one!
There! Get it!
Nice job, Hitomi!
Teacher, you're…
- Eisaku!
- Yes.
- I wanna eat it!
- Huh? The fish?
Turn it into sashimi!
Thank you for waiting.
Ah I don't want this.
You take it, Hitomi.
I'm done.
Make sure not to leave anything.
The master loved his fish dearly,
so consider it an honor.
I get that you wanna try your best
to try and please Susumu,
but don't overdo it.
I told Kiyo that
I fully trust you with Susumu.
So from here on out just do
what you think is right, okay?
- Maybe I should tell you.
- Hm?
I've been a delinquent since
I dropped out of middle school,
and the cops are after me.
Mr. Kashima saved me.
I thought I could
make this work, but...
I guess I'm not cut out
to be a tutor.
I feel like I'm gonna
choke on my own lies…
Mr. Kashima already told me.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I mean, he's the family lawyer.
There's no hiding anything.
I figured
it'd do Susumu good to
stray from the path a bit…
Like you, Ms. Hitomi.
It's 'cause you're different.
I wouldn't have done this if you
were just a normal college student.
I wanted a girl
who didn't dilly-dally.
- Dilly-dally?
- Yeah.
So feel free
to just be yourself.
Susumu. Apologize.
You did a bad thing,
so apologize.
I'll get mad.
How could I know your face
was gonna be there?!
You've got a big mouth.
Come here.
Let me go!
Quiet.
Lemme go!
Why don't you go live with
the turtles from now on?
Come here.
You gonna be good?
Learn your lesson?
- Yeah alright.
- I wonder.
What's with that look?
I asked if you learned your lesson.
And I said yeah alright,
didn't I?!
What are you doing?!
Have you completely lost it?!
Come… Y-young sir.
Get out of there.
Okay…
Poor child…
Go home!
I'm going to tell
Mr. Kashima all about you.
Take me back home already.
You'll go back to Tokyo and
what? Be a delinquent again?
Sure.
So long as I don't have
to be in this stuck-up place.
- Stick with it.
- Why?
You're a spoiled brat!
Why did you come here?
Didn't you want a fresh start?
Why are you so set on me
being here?
Would you be in a bad spot
if I left all of a sudden
because you were the one
who introduced me to Ms. Taeko?
You're afraid of that happening,
so you'd rather just keep me here?
Go ahead, hit me.
We have no reason to fight.
Remember what I said,
about those who use others?
Think about that.
Persevere.
Okay?
Mr. Kashima.
We should get going.
Sorry!
I wanted to give you more time,
but we're gonna be late.
The party in Tokyo starts at seven.
Hang in there.
Good luck!
You can do this.
Come on, come on, come on.
What are you doing, Hitomi?
Shouldn't we study?
You wouldn't understand.
- You quitting?
- Yeah.
- Going back to Tokyo.
- Why?
- Everyone hates me.
- Hitomi.
And stop calling me
by my first name!
Hitomi!
Yo!
Don't pretend like I'm a
stranger. Look, it's me.
Oh my god,
what are you doing here?
I organize parties now.
I think I've really got it this time.
This thing cost me
a lot of money.
- No good?
- No good.
Toru, meet Hitomi.
Hey.
You know any stupid rich folks 'round
here that are into banquets or anything?
What are you thinking? As if!
I shoulda known.
Anyway, now that you're here…
Gimme a ride back to Tokyo.
- Tokyo?
- Yeah.
Me too!
Hey, you sure about
goin' to Tokyo?
That was a lie.
We're just goin' on a ride,
that cool?
Sure, I don't mind.
What's this?
- Bait.
- Can I see?
- Kid, you wanna go fish?
- Really?
Sure thing,
we got a good spot for it.
River nearby 'n everything.
It rocks.
I got one!
They're late!
I gotta make a call, okay?
Wanna avoid trouble.
- What are you doing?
- Stop that.
What is it?
We're...
kidnapping the kid.
You in?
Hah…
You're joking, right?
What's this?
Read it out loud.
- "We have kidnapped…"
- Louder.
"We have kidnapped Susumu."
"We want 30 million yen
for his return."
"Talk to the cops, and he dies."
Was this always the plan?
So are you in?
Look how many I caught, Hitomi!
- Wait.
- What?
Toru will do whatever
I tell him to do.
Ow, that hurts!
Use your head.
Just gonna let those rich fuckers
keep using you?
What are you thinking?
Team up with us.
This is gonna work.
Alright.
Well?
Ms. Hitomi and the young sir
were seen getting into a weird car
sometime around noon.
A weird car?
This is the Yonekura family.
We kidnapped Susumu.
Ms. Hitomi!
We want 30 million yen
for his return.
Talk to the cops, and he dies.
From Ms. Hitomi?
No, don't call the cops.
Don't do anything
until I get home, got it?
Hey.
- You make the call?
- Yes.
Get rid of those two yet?
No.
I wanted to talk to you
about that.
What is it?
Can we not let Hitomi join us?
Yo, where you been?
Where are they?
Second floor.
What were you doing?!
Didn't I tell you to stand guard?!
Hitomi's fully on board
with the plan.
Said she wants to help
any which way.
So please.
Goddammit, they got away!
They got away!!
Don't worry about.
I'll definitely find them.
Stop!
Stop!!
Hitomi! Why are you running?!
Show yourself!
Hitomi!
Where are they?
- Let's go.
- Where?
All rivers leads back to civilization.
If we just keep going down,
I'm sure we'll end up somewhere.
Don't look!
A station!
- What's wrong?
- Shush.
Let's go.
Loooser!
I don't wanna go back home already.
But everyone's worried
back home.
We should at least call.
Attention.
The express train to Shinjuku
is now arriving at platform two.
Kobuchisawa, Kobuchisawa.
Please transfer for the Koumi line.
Thank you for traveling with us.
This is the express train
to Shinjuku.
We will be departing shortly.
Please mind the closing doors.
Our next stop
will be Kofu.
May I see your boarding pass?
Ah, two for Shinjuku, please.
Your boarding pass?
Ah, I didn't have time to buy
tickets at the last station, so…
- Oh… One adult?
- No, the kid is with me, too.
- Oh?
- Yes.
Let's see, two travelers, one child…
That'll be 7,200 yen, please. (53 USD)
Hey, turn around for a sec
will ya.
- What are you doing?
- Huh?
Let's see…
I'm terribly sorry that I let
this happen while you were away.
- You hear anything since?
- No, not yet.
And you didn't
alert the police, right?
No.
- What about Kiyo?
- She's waiting by the phone.
This is Yonekura family.
Hello, it's Hitomi.
Do you realize
what you're doing?
Ah…
I can explain…
I don't care.
Just let me talk
to the young sir.
Talk quick,
I don't have a lot of money.
Kiyo, we need money.
I'm sorry, please understand.
Fine. 300 million, right?
- Where should I bring it?
- 300 million?
Or 500. Or 600. I don't care
how much it is, I'll bring it.
Just tell me what you want…
Don't you dare
hurt the young sir!
Hello? Where are you now?
Um, in Shinjuku, but…
Ah, I'm out of money.
If you go to Roppongi…
Now what?
What happened?
They think I kidnapped you.
Did you?
No!
Ah, sorry, could I borrow 10 yen?
Sure.
Ah, thanks so very much.
Miss.
Let's just call the police already.
No.
I still trust that girl.
If we escalate things now
she might kill herself and
take Susumu along with her.
You were at fault for bringing a girl
like that here in the first place…
Kiyo!
I don't know. what kind of
relationship you and father had,
but…
Father is dead.
You are nothing
more than hired help.
Don't forget your place.
Hitomi, I'm hungry!
I know, I know.
I'll get you something to eat soon,
so be patient.
I can't go on anymore.
Look, I'm hungry and cranky, too.
Suit yourself.
… please leave a message after the tone.
I will contact you as soon
as I receive your message.
Are you still not back? It's Hitomi.
I'm at a modelling
agency called USO.
The number is…
- Stop that.
- What?
I don't want cops crawling around here.
So don't make any weird phone calls.
- Did something happen?
- Yeah.
Because of you 'n Michiko.
That customer ratted you out.
Do you not even remember?
You got some nerve,
bringing a kid here…
- Let me try one more number.
- Where?
- Nagoya.
- Nope!
No long-distance calls!
Geez…
Just get outta here already!
Really…
Fine. Cheapskate.
Hey!
No omurice for that kid.
Enough mooching.
Oh, Hitomi.
Where were you?
Hotel.
Can you lend me some money?
Nope.
Where was Michiko staying again?
Said she's working
at a factory in Itabashi.
Oh yeah.
Thanks. See ya.
Omurice!
Let's go eat.
Really?
You got money?
- Right here.
- Nice!
Hey!
Give that back.
Look, I'm flat broke, so if
we could just have 500 yen…
- No.
- Please!
- No.
- Please, I'm begging you.
Have some self-respect.
But I'm asking you!
- Give it a rest, I said no!
- But we only need 500…
- You really need to let this go!
- But I'll pay you back!
- No!
- Come on!
Hey!
Aah! Please,
stand back! Stand back!
This is mine!
Did I scare ya?
Not really.
But don't joke around
like that, okay?
Sorry.
But y'know,
this is kinda exciting,
isn't it?
- I guess.
- Right?
Oh yeah, got this for ya.
Kinda old, though.
Ah, thanks!
Oh, he sleeping?
Seems like it.
- Cute.
- You think?
Yeah.
Oh yeah,
could I use your phone?
Sure. In the office.
Yonekura speaking.
Ah, it's Hitomi.
Where are you?
- A friend's place.
- I see.
I trust you,
so don't worry.
Ah, okay.
I can come over there
tomorrow if you want.
Could you tell me
where you are now?
Ah, it's actually kinda
hard to explain, so…
Yes.
Yes.
Ah, yeah.
So 9AM in front of
the art gallery in Jungu?
Okay, got it. See you then.
Who was that on the phone?
None of your business.
Work-related.
My apologies.
Let go!
Hitomi, let's go.
H-hey, wait…
That hurt, man…
That guy doesn't give up easily…
I've been wondering, though…
What?
- That dude…
- Yeah?
The fact he knew
where we were…
Don't you think it's strange?
And we never even saw
that Taeko woman.
You think maybe that
man was hired by Taeko
to try and kill you guys?
Haha… But why?
Money, what else?
Ransom's 300 million.
That's chump change to
someone like Ms. Taeko.
So I think she's gonna
give it to that guy
after he's done the deed.
Can I get 100 yen?
Don't you have any money, Susumu?
I have some in the bank,
but not on me.
Check out this guy…
- How much?
- Five billion yen.
It's me…
Hitomi!
Yo!
Where the hell have you been?!
Kanazawa.
Job took longer than I thought.
What happened?
Geez…
I don't even know
where to start…
Calm down. Have a seat.
There are people out there
trying to kill us.
Me 'n Susumu were kidnapped.
And I was made a scapegoat
for Susumu's kidnapping.
How is Susumu?
- He's fine.
- I see.
Do you not believe
me either, Mr. Kashima?
No, I do.
Let's just call the Yonekuras.
- We can't.
- Why not?
The real perp is Ms. Taeko.
What?
Susumu's got five
billion yen to his name.
But you already know this, right?
Ms. Taeko wants that money.
Don't be stupid.
In property sure,
but not actual funds.
Who is it?
Police.
Go to the bedroom.
- Tsuyama from Tokyo PD.
- Miyagawa.
Ah, hello.
Mr. Kashima, do you know
a Hitomi Kuroda?
- Ah, yes.
- Do you know where she is?
No, I've been away for work.
Ah yes, that's right.
We've been here many times,
but you were never home.
I see… Something happen to her?
She's involved in
kidnapping case.
- Really?
- Yes.
There's also been an accident
that might be related.
Have you read
today's paper yet?
Ah, no.
I see.
Well, I would like to
ask you more questions,
so would you mind
coming to the station?
Okay.
(Two unidentified male bodies)
Let me just put my things away
and then
I'll come over right away.
I see.
- What do you think?
- It stinks.
You wanna keep an eye on him?
I really didn't do anything.
I know.
Now what?
You said some people
were out to kill you, right?
What kind of people?
What kind…
He just keeps showing up
wherever we go.
Susumu's somewhere safe, right?
One more time!
Come on, I've
already put 1,000 yen in this. (7 USD)
I'll pay you back!
Okay, but you're paying interest,
so I want 100,000 yen. (740 USD)
Greedy!
- I'll kidnap ya!
- Okay already!
So one million then?
(7400 USD)
Really?
Okay, let's play.
Yay!
- Get ready!
- Bring it!
So the boat leaves at 9?
Could you make a stop
at Mukushima?
I see.
Okay. Thank you.
You remember Mukushima, right?
Board this boat, and
you'll be able to go back.
Just hide out there for a while.
What about you?
For the moment,
I'll head to the Yonekura place
and see where we're at.
- Is that okay?
- What do you mean?
The police…
It's not me they want, it's you.
Take this.
I'll vouch for your innocence.
I don't understand anything
anymore.
Stay strong.
It's all I've been doing.
Don't cry.
Take Susumu and go.
I need to hear you say yes.
Yes.
Could you lead the way?
Well are you leaving or not?!
Sorry. There's some trash
caught in the duct.
Please wait until
I've sorted it, okay?
Always the same shit…
Geez, late again…
It's always something
with that boat.
You goin' to Mukushima, too?
If you want we can
take you there on our boat.
Oh yeah, sure!
Be quicker that way.
You by yourself?
Never mind. Too much
trouble if there's a guy.
Thank you for waiting!
The boat is fixed,
so we'll be leaving.
I… don't like fishing.
Me neither.
On my signal,
I want you to run.
I wanna go with you.
Just do as I say.
Okay?
What're you doing?
Yo, let her go, old man!
You wanna start some shit?!
Ow!! Bastard!!
Motherfucker! Yeow!!
Hold on tight.
You…
You know the way to Mukushima,
Susumu?
Yeah.
Do you know which direction it is?
It's too dark to tell.
But is it close?
Yeah.
- Let's wait for the morning.
- Okay.
You scared, Susumu?
I'm fine,
as long as you are here.
You've really warmed up
to me, huh?
Sleepy?
Just a little cold.
Hitomi, you kinda smell.
Sorry, I'm a little sweaty.
No, it's a nice smell.
Susumu, wake up.
Is that the island?
Okay, let's go.
That's my ship!
Maybe it's Mr. Kashima?
We did it!
I got a fishing pole!
You just won't die, will you?
What happened
to that two-bit assassin?
He's dead.
It's 'cause he surrounds
himself with losers.
You really ruined my plan.
Let's go.
This'll knock you out cold.
You'd drown if you fell in
the water unconsciously.
I'll see to it
you really die this time.
Stop!
Leave Hitomi alone!
Mr. Kashima!
I don't know how to stop it!
What?!
I can't hear you!
I can't hear you…
She's dead.
I guess there really are those who
are used, and those who use others.
I was being used
this entire time.
It's over now.
- Is it?
- Yeah.
So give it another go.
How?
Trust me.
You won't
betray me, Mr. Kashima?
No.
If you do I'll kill you.
Okay.
I'm serious.
Do you think
Susumu will follow us?
I don't like kids, though.
And I don't like old men.
I guess that's that then.
What about Susumu?
He'll just remain an orphan.
Poor kid.
Can't be helped.
I wonder…
Kashima…
What is the meaning of this,
Kashima?!
I see.
You jumped ship.
Mr. Kashima!
Don't come…
D… Don't c-…
Don't come…
Hey, more people showed up.
Good guys? Bad guys?
Which?
Sons of bitches!!!
Stay back! Stay back!!
Stay the hell back!!!
Hitomi?
Sis?
Tranlated by Carlo V
I told you it makes the room
stink of fish, didn't I?
It's not your room, is it?
I don't mind some candles
once in a while,
but they really don't go well
with the smell of dried mackerel.
They cut the electricity.
- Really?
- Really.
Poor as a church mouse…
I dunno about you,
but I can't afford
to enjoy being poor. Idiot.
You gotta deal with poverty if you
wanna live life as you please.
Big words from some lazy bones.
Giving me life lessons.
Aren't you a little young
for that, Michiko?
I'm already 17, you know!
Then isn't it time you start
getting serious about things?
Why don't you go home?
You're graduating next year,
rigtht?
I just went home.
Needed some money.
Didn't get any, though.
Parents started crying.
Well, duh.
Shouldn't make 'em cry.
Hitomi, are you for real
about cleaning up your act?
Yeah.
Your job fun?
A woman who works hard
is beautiful.
My, my.
Look at you.
Don't walk around at night
by yourself.
Oh shut up.
You're gonna end up in a ditch,
carrying on like you do.
Quiet, orphan.
Hey, don't overdo it.
You're gonna break the glass.
Sorry.
One, ten, hundred, thousand,
ten thousand, hundred thousand…
210,000. Wow…
Hey! Naughty!
You can't do that. Geez…
What are you doing?
My poor lil' Linda.
Are you being bullied?
I am not bullying her.
That dog's a shoplifter.
Excuse me?
My dog would never.
- Tell me what she took and I'll pay.
- It's not about money.
Are you the manager?
No, you're a little too cocky
for that.
What are you doing? Please
accept our apologies, madam.
- Awful woman!
- Apologize.
We are very sorry.
Forgive us.
The scary lady is back.
So, so scary.
I am not scary.
Yer fired!
Wake up!
Oh, Hitomi.
I've got a hangover.
- Get me some water.
- Get it yourself.
Why you gotta be so cold?
Get out when you're done.
Bye.
- Who was that?
- Oh…
Smelled of liquor. Disgusting.
Sorry, I don't know the guy.
You always let strangers
sleep here?
What about her?
- Ah, that's…
- Another stranger?
We agreed that if you didn't have my
rent by today you'd leave, right?
Ah, yes.
But this room's sure
taken a beating.
Don't you ever clean?
Sorry.
You're leaving tomorrow,
you hear?
- Owner, another round!
- Sure. How many?
- Just one.
- Catch.
- Owner, I'm returning these.
- Alright, thank you.
- Owner, pass me another.
- Catch.
Can I get one, too, owner?
Okay but I'm gonna need
some collateral.
It was never a problem before.
You went 'n cleaned up
your act, right?
Sorry. Don't trust flakey people.
But I don't have any collateral…
- Wanna lend some money?
- Really?
Sure. All ya gotta do is
go out with me tonight.
No way.
Don't wanna end up
drugged or something.
What do you take me for?
And where are you now, sir?
I see, okay.
Hotel Rich, room 402.
Well we have about ten girls.
Okay. A bright and cheery girl?
Sure.
The one with the lightest,
softest skin…
Yeah, we have girls with long hair.
Got just the one for you.
You only have 20,000 yen? Ah well.
(147 USD)
Ah, no,
I'm sending her over right now.
You're gonna love her.
Should be there in fifteen minutes.
You're welcome.
Sanae, Hotel Rich, room 402.
- Okay.
- Make sure he pays first.
I will.
Oh, Hitomi.
Where've you been?
Lend me some money.
- No way.
- Come on.
Nothing but trouble comes
from lending friends money.
Oh, you looking for work?
Oh yeah,
what happened?
Michiko was here before.
- She on the job?
- Yeah.
Hey, you wanna hop
in the shower with me?
I'll wash your back for ya.
No?
Ah man, I'm dying here.
High school girl, huh?
You're killin' me.
- What is it?
- Come with me.
- Hey, that hurts.
- What are you thinking?
- What's going on?
- She's my friend.
I didn't ask for a threesome,
but… sure!
Pervert.
Sigh…
I thought if I just put up with it
for two hours,
I'd be able to pay our rent.
Worry about your body
instead of rent.
You're that concerned about me?
It's 'cause I love you.
But what are we gonna do?
Living life seriously…
Maybe you just gotta be craftier…
Anyone there?
Hello?
Anyone?
Hm?
Hey, wait, who's there?!
Thieves, duh.
Azabu 3 for HQ, come in, over.
- This is HQ. Over.
- No movement from the suspect tonight.
Gonna call off
surveillance and head back.
- Over.
- Understood. Over.
Thief! Thief!
Thief! Stop them!
- What?
- "What"?
Here.
Oh! Louis XIII,
pricey stuff.
Cops!
Cops!
Don't move!
Did a young woman come in here?
I see…
Hey.
- Arrest the lot of them.
- Hey…
Anything wrong, officer?
- No, nothing. Keep moving.
- Ah, okay. Thanks.
Yes, please keep it moving.
A friend?
Does it matter?
Who are you?
A lawyer.
I could be of use
to someone like you.
Take it.
Where you going?
Here's fine. Let me off.
Feel free to
reach out to me.
- She's not here.
- Do you know anywhere she could be?
Hmmm, I don't know.
I see. Okay, thanks.
I'm on it, but
the Yonekuras' land
is spread all over Japan.
Can't expect too much
from it as real estate.
What? Yeah.
That's right.
I'll bring the file over
tomorrow.
Yes. Bye.
What's up?
Here.
Thanks, for saving my ass.
You stole this, right?
Just tell me
if you don't want it.
No, I'll take it.
Come in.
Alright, let's eat.
Not hungry.
Hot pot's no good if you have to
eat it by yourself.
Join me.
Sorry.
I get a lot of phone calls.
This is Kashima Law Office.
I'm currently not in,
so please leave a
message after the tone.
I will contact you as soon
as I receive your message.
This is Miyamoto, I called you the other
day. I wanted your opinion on something.
So I went back home yesterday,
and I called my husband to confront him,
but a woman picked up.
Said she was his subordinate…
This isn't very
dinner appropriate, is it?
Telling me all about how shamelessly
he's been cheating on me…
How is it?
- A little bland.
- That so?
Here, help yourself.
Hm.
That's a bit better.
A rotten apple with a
good sense of taste, huh?
- Shut up.
- What?
You let your guard down and
suddenly you lose all reserve, huh?
Wouldn't be much of a
delinquent if I held back, right?
A real delinquent
doesn't call herself one.
Don't you have a home?
Parents?
Dunno.
Never met 'em.
What's up with the
friendly act all of a sudden?
I'm the same way.
Don't have any parents.
You're not the only one.
Guess there are others out there
taking things seriously.
Got a job?
No matter what I do,
it never works out.
Because you're selfish, right?
I don't understand why anyone
would wanna be a lawyer.
Lawyers exist to serve others.
That sounded pretty cool.
There are those who are used,
and those who use others.
Guess you haven't
realized that yet.
You tired?
- Sofa fine?
- Yeah.
What's your name?
Hitomi Kuroda.
- I'm turning off the light.
- Okay.
Pajamas.
Not that I mind it, but…
Isn't this more the kinda place
you'd bring your lover?
It is?
Yeah.
Mr. Kashima.
Wait here.
Nowhere good left, huh?
Looks like it was all bought up
when you were in the US,
You'd think a guy
gets tired of fish…
The land owned by the main family
is under Susumu's name now.
It'll take some time if you want to put
in a claim to reduce the heir's shares.
I can't wait.
- You understand, right?
- I do.
"I can't wait any longer."
"I've got a job to do."
"And what do I do?"
"Give me time."
You didn't have to go and
break up with her in front of me.
Ms. Hitomi?
Ms. Taeko Yonekura.
Hello.
What were you looking at?
Ah, just admiring the boats.
You wanna ride one?
Ms. Taeko's looking for a
tutor for her kid brother Susumu.
Wanna give it a go?
Tutor? I didn't even finish school.
Don't worry,
he's only in the first grade.
It's a good opportunity
to start fresh.
Aren't rich people all terrible?
That island over there's called
Mukushima.
The Yonekuras own it.
They've got 18 more resorts like it.
You ever known anyone that rich?
It's getting cold,
let's go back.
Okay.
Daizo Yonekura died
on that island
during a fishing accident
three months ago.
Seven year old Susumu
succeeded him
as the 24th patron
of the Yonekura family.
The Mizutanis have been serving
the Yonekuras for generations,
so they're now
looking after Susumu.
What about Ms. Taeko?
Ms. Taeko is only his
half-sister.
She also has no interest
in living here.
Why?
She wants to keep working
in the US.
- What does she do?
- She's an "Artist Coordinator."
It seems she's got a big event
in New York at the end of the year.
You can't tell
from looking at her.
Looks can be deceiving.
Especially with women.
- Sorry I'm late.
- Where's Ms. Hitomi?
Ah, she's waiting for you.
Ms. Hitomi.
I'm so glad you came!
Thank you!
- Thank you for having me.
- Kiyo!
Kiyo, come here.
This here is Ms. Hitomi Kuroda.
This is Mrs. Kiyo Mizutani.
She's been with the family forever.
Pleased to meet you.
Could you show her to her room?
So you studied English Literature
at Tokyo Women's University?
Yes.
If you think this is some cushy
part-time job you're wrong.
Yes…
Your room is on the second floor.
Ah, yes.
And please do not enter
any of the other rooms.
What happened?
Susumu?
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I'm not that easily scared.
Good morning!
- Ah, good morning.
- Young sir is waiting.
- What about school?
- He hates it.
Which is why you are here.
We're expecting a lot from you.
Susumu, can I come in?
I'm coming in, okay?
You can't just enter
someone's room, y'know.
Sorry… Wow!
No touching!
You'll ruin them.
So you like fishing?
Ah, um…
I'll be your study
partner starting today.
Name's Hitomi Kuroda.
Nice to meetcha!
You sure gave me
a scare yesterday.
So,
why don't you go to school?
Ya sure are nosy for a tutor.
"Ya"?
What are you getting scared about?
Yes.
The money will come in
by the middle of the month,
so keep getting the performers.
And don't worry,
I'm back at the beginning
of next month. Bye.
Thanks.
- Hitomi, hurry.
- Coming.
What're you doing, Hitomi?
Come on!
Yes.
That one right there!
Quick, catch it!
There, there! That one!
There! Get it!
Nice job, Hitomi!
Teacher, you're…
- Eisaku!
- Yes.
- I wanna eat it!
- Huh? The fish?
Turn it into sashimi!
Thank you for waiting.
Ah I don't want this.
You take it, Hitomi.
I'm done.
Make sure not to leave anything.
The master loved his fish dearly,
so consider it an honor.
I get that you wanna try your best
to try and please Susumu,
but don't overdo it.
I told Kiyo that
I fully trust you with Susumu.
So from here on out just do
what you think is right, okay?
- Maybe I should tell you.
- Hm?
I've been a delinquent since
I dropped out of middle school,
and the cops are after me.
Mr. Kashima saved me.
I thought I could
make this work, but...
I guess I'm not cut out
to be a tutor.
I feel like I'm gonna
choke on my own lies…
Mr. Kashima already told me.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I mean, he's the family lawyer.
There's no hiding anything.
I figured
it'd do Susumu good to
stray from the path a bit…
Like you, Ms. Hitomi.
It's 'cause you're different.
I wouldn't have done this if you
were just a normal college student.
I wanted a girl
who didn't dilly-dally.
- Dilly-dally?
- Yeah.
So feel free
to just be yourself.
Susumu. Apologize.
You did a bad thing,
so apologize.
I'll get mad.
How could I know your face
was gonna be there?!
You've got a big mouth.
Come here.
Let me go!
Quiet.
Lemme go!
Why don't you go live with
the turtles from now on?
Come here.
You gonna be good?
Learn your lesson?
- Yeah alright.
- I wonder.
What's with that look?
I asked if you learned your lesson.
And I said yeah alright,
didn't I?!
What are you doing?!
Have you completely lost it?!
Come… Y-young sir.
Get out of there.
Okay…
Poor child…
Go home!
I'm going to tell
Mr. Kashima all about you.
Take me back home already.
You'll go back to Tokyo and
what? Be a delinquent again?
Sure.
So long as I don't have
to be in this stuck-up place.
- Stick with it.
- Why?
You're a spoiled brat!
Why did you come here?
Didn't you want a fresh start?
Why are you so set on me
being here?
Would you be in a bad spot
if I left all of a sudden
because you were the one
who introduced me to Ms. Taeko?
You're afraid of that happening,
so you'd rather just keep me here?
Go ahead, hit me.
We have no reason to fight.
Remember what I said,
about those who use others?
Think about that.
Persevere.
Okay?
Mr. Kashima.
We should get going.
Sorry!
I wanted to give you more time,
but we're gonna be late.
The party in Tokyo starts at seven.
Hang in there.
Good luck!
You can do this.
Come on, come on, come on.
What are you doing, Hitomi?
Shouldn't we study?
You wouldn't understand.
- You quitting?
- Yeah.
- Going back to Tokyo.
- Why?
- Everyone hates me.
- Hitomi.
And stop calling me
by my first name!
Hitomi!
Yo!
Don't pretend like I'm a
stranger. Look, it's me.
Oh my god,
what are you doing here?
I organize parties now.
I think I've really got it this time.
This thing cost me
a lot of money.
- No good?
- No good.
Toru, meet Hitomi.
Hey.
You know any stupid rich folks 'round
here that are into banquets or anything?
What are you thinking? As if!
I shoulda known.
Anyway, now that you're here…
Gimme a ride back to Tokyo.
- Tokyo?
- Yeah.
Me too!
Hey, you sure about
goin' to Tokyo?
That was a lie.
We're just goin' on a ride,
that cool?
Sure, I don't mind.
What's this?
- Bait.
- Can I see?
- Kid, you wanna go fish?
- Really?
Sure thing,
we got a good spot for it.
River nearby 'n everything.
It rocks.
I got one!
They're late!
I gotta make a call, okay?
Wanna avoid trouble.
- What are you doing?
- Stop that.
What is it?
We're...
kidnapping the kid.
You in?
Hah…
You're joking, right?
What's this?
Read it out loud.
- "We have kidnapped…"
- Louder.
"We have kidnapped Susumu."
"We want 30 million yen
for his return."
"Talk to the cops, and he dies."
Was this always the plan?
So are you in?
Look how many I caught, Hitomi!
- Wait.
- What?
Toru will do whatever
I tell him to do.
Ow, that hurts!
Use your head.
Just gonna let those rich fuckers
keep using you?
What are you thinking?
Team up with us.
This is gonna work.
Alright.
Well?
Ms. Hitomi and the young sir
were seen getting into a weird car
sometime around noon.
A weird car?
This is the Yonekura family.
We kidnapped Susumu.
Ms. Hitomi!
We want 30 million yen
for his return.
Talk to the cops, and he dies.
From Ms. Hitomi?
No, don't call the cops.
Don't do anything
until I get home, got it?
Hey.
- You make the call?
- Yes.
Get rid of those two yet?
No.
I wanted to talk to you
about that.
What is it?
Can we not let Hitomi join us?
Yo, where you been?
Where are they?
Second floor.
What were you doing?!
Didn't I tell you to stand guard?!
Hitomi's fully on board
with the plan.
Said she wants to help
any which way.
So please.
Goddammit, they got away!
They got away!!
Don't worry about.
I'll definitely find them.
Stop!
Stop!!
Hitomi! Why are you running?!
Show yourself!
Hitomi!
Where are they?
- Let's go.
- Where?
All rivers leads back to civilization.
If we just keep going down,
I'm sure we'll end up somewhere.
Don't look!
A station!
- What's wrong?
- Shush.
Let's go.
Loooser!
I don't wanna go back home already.
But everyone's worried
back home.
We should at least call.
Attention.
The express train to Shinjuku
is now arriving at platform two.
Kobuchisawa, Kobuchisawa.
Please transfer for the Koumi line.
Thank you for traveling with us.
This is the express train
to Shinjuku.
We will be departing shortly.
Please mind the closing doors.
Our next stop
will be Kofu.
May I see your boarding pass?
Ah, two for Shinjuku, please.
Your boarding pass?
Ah, I didn't have time to buy
tickets at the last station, so…
- Oh… One adult?
- No, the kid is with me, too.
- Oh?
- Yes.
Let's see, two travelers, one child…
That'll be 7,200 yen, please. (53 USD)
Hey, turn around for a sec
will ya.
- What are you doing?
- Huh?
Let's see…
I'm terribly sorry that I let
this happen while you were away.
- You hear anything since?
- No, not yet.
And you didn't
alert the police, right?
No.
- What about Kiyo?
- She's waiting by the phone.
This is Yonekura family.
Hello, it's Hitomi.
Do you realize
what you're doing?
Ah…
I can explain…
I don't care.
Just let me talk
to the young sir.
Talk quick,
I don't have a lot of money.
Kiyo, we need money.
I'm sorry, please understand.
Fine. 300 million, right?
- Where should I bring it?
- 300 million?
Or 500. Or 600. I don't care
how much it is, I'll bring it.
Just tell me what you want…
Don't you dare
hurt the young sir!
Hello? Where are you now?
Um, in Shinjuku, but…
Ah, I'm out of money.
If you go to Roppongi…
Now what?
What happened?
They think I kidnapped you.
Did you?
No!
Ah, sorry, could I borrow 10 yen?
Sure.
Ah, thanks so very much.
Miss.
Let's just call the police already.
No.
I still trust that girl.
If we escalate things now
she might kill herself and
take Susumu along with her.
You were at fault for bringing a girl
like that here in the first place…
Kiyo!
I don't know. what kind of
relationship you and father had,
but…
Father is dead.
You are nothing
more than hired help.
Don't forget your place.
Hitomi, I'm hungry!
I know, I know.
I'll get you something to eat soon,
so be patient.
I can't go on anymore.
Look, I'm hungry and cranky, too.
Suit yourself.
… please leave a message after the tone.
I will contact you as soon
as I receive your message.
Are you still not back? It's Hitomi.
I'm at a modelling
agency called USO.
The number is…
- Stop that.
- What?
I don't want cops crawling around here.
So don't make any weird phone calls.
- Did something happen?
- Yeah.
Because of you 'n Michiko.
That customer ratted you out.
Do you not even remember?
You got some nerve,
bringing a kid here…
- Let me try one more number.
- Where?
- Nagoya.
- Nope!
No long-distance calls!
Geez…
Just get outta here already!
Really…
Fine. Cheapskate.
Hey!
No omurice for that kid.
Enough mooching.
Oh, Hitomi.
Where were you?
Hotel.
Can you lend me some money?
Nope.
Where was Michiko staying again?
Said she's working
at a factory in Itabashi.
Oh yeah.
Thanks. See ya.
Omurice!
Let's go eat.
Really?
You got money?
- Right here.
- Nice!
Hey!
Give that back.
Look, I'm flat broke, so if
we could just have 500 yen…
- No.
- Please!
- No.
- Please, I'm begging you.
Have some self-respect.
But I'm asking you!
- Give it a rest, I said no!
- But we only need 500…
- You really need to let this go!
- But I'll pay you back!
- No!
- Come on!
Hey!
Aah! Please,
stand back! Stand back!
This is mine!
Did I scare ya?
Not really.
But don't joke around
like that, okay?
Sorry.
But y'know,
this is kinda exciting,
isn't it?
- I guess.
- Right?
Oh yeah, got this for ya.
Kinda old, though.
Ah, thanks!
Oh, he sleeping?
Seems like it.
- Cute.
- You think?
Yeah.
Oh yeah,
could I use your phone?
Sure. In the office.
Yonekura speaking.
Ah, it's Hitomi.
Where are you?
- A friend's place.
- I see.
I trust you,
so don't worry.
Ah, okay.
I can come over there
tomorrow if you want.
Could you tell me
where you are now?
Ah, it's actually kinda
hard to explain, so…
Yes.
Yes.
Ah, yeah.
So 9AM in front of
the art gallery in Jungu?
Okay, got it. See you then.
Who was that on the phone?
None of your business.
Work-related.
My apologies.
Let go!
Hitomi, let's go.
H-hey, wait…
That hurt, man…
That guy doesn't give up easily…
I've been wondering, though…
What?
- That dude…
- Yeah?
The fact he knew
where we were…
Don't you think it's strange?
And we never even saw
that Taeko woman.
You think maybe that
man was hired by Taeko
to try and kill you guys?
Haha… But why?
Money, what else?
Ransom's 300 million.
That's chump change to
someone like Ms. Taeko.
So I think she's gonna
give it to that guy
after he's done the deed.
Can I get 100 yen?
Don't you have any money, Susumu?
I have some in the bank,
but not on me.
Check out this guy…
- How much?
- Five billion yen.
It's me…
Hitomi!
Yo!
Where the hell have you been?!
Kanazawa.
Job took longer than I thought.
What happened?
Geez…
I don't even know
where to start…
Calm down. Have a seat.
There are people out there
trying to kill us.
Me 'n Susumu were kidnapped.
And I was made a scapegoat
for Susumu's kidnapping.
How is Susumu?
- He's fine.
- I see.
Do you not believe
me either, Mr. Kashima?
No, I do.
Let's just call the Yonekuras.
- We can't.
- Why not?
The real perp is Ms. Taeko.
What?
Susumu's got five
billion yen to his name.
But you already know this, right?
Ms. Taeko wants that money.
Don't be stupid.
In property sure,
but not actual funds.
Who is it?
Police.
Go to the bedroom.
- Tsuyama from Tokyo PD.
- Miyagawa.
Ah, hello.
Mr. Kashima, do you know
a Hitomi Kuroda?
- Ah, yes.
- Do you know where she is?
No, I've been away for work.
Ah yes, that's right.
We've been here many times,
but you were never home.
I see… Something happen to her?
She's involved in
kidnapping case.
- Really?
- Yes.
There's also been an accident
that might be related.
Have you read
today's paper yet?
Ah, no.
I see.
Well, I would like to
ask you more questions,
so would you mind
coming to the station?
Okay.
(Two unidentified male bodies)
Let me just put my things away
and then
I'll come over right away.
I see.
- What do you think?
- It stinks.
You wanna keep an eye on him?
I really didn't do anything.
I know.
Now what?
You said some people
were out to kill you, right?
What kind of people?
What kind…
He just keeps showing up
wherever we go.
Susumu's somewhere safe, right?
One more time!
Come on, I've
already put 1,000 yen in this. (7 USD)
I'll pay you back!
Okay, but you're paying interest,
so I want 100,000 yen. (740 USD)
Greedy!
- I'll kidnap ya!
- Okay already!
So one million then?
(7400 USD)
Really?
Okay, let's play.
Yay!
- Get ready!
- Bring it!
So the boat leaves at 9?
Could you make a stop
at Mukushima?
I see.
Okay. Thank you.
You remember Mukushima, right?
Board this boat, and
you'll be able to go back.
Just hide out there for a while.
What about you?
For the moment,
I'll head to the Yonekura place
and see where we're at.
- Is that okay?
- What do you mean?
The police…
It's not me they want, it's you.
Take this.
I'll vouch for your innocence.
I don't understand anything
anymore.
Stay strong.
It's all I've been doing.
Don't cry.
Take Susumu and go.
I need to hear you say yes.
Yes.
Could you lead the way?
Well are you leaving or not?!
Sorry. There's some trash
caught in the duct.
Please wait until
I've sorted it, okay?
Always the same shit…
Geez, late again…
It's always something
with that boat.
You goin' to Mukushima, too?
If you want we can
take you there on our boat.
Oh yeah, sure!
Be quicker that way.
You by yourself?
Never mind. Too much
trouble if there's a guy.
Thank you for waiting!
The boat is fixed,
so we'll be leaving.
I… don't like fishing.
Me neither.
On my signal,
I want you to run.
I wanna go with you.
Just do as I say.
Okay?
What're you doing?
Yo, let her go, old man!
You wanna start some shit?!
Ow!! Bastard!!
Motherfucker! Yeow!!
Hold on tight.
You…
You know the way to Mukushima,
Susumu?
Yeah.
Do you know which direction it is?
It's too dark to tell.
But is it close?
Yeah.
- Let's wait for the morning.
- Okay.
You scared, Susumu?
I'm fine,
as long as you are here.
You've really warmed up
to me, huh?
Sleepy?
Just a little cold.
Hitomi, you kinda smell.
Sorry, I'm a little sweaty.
No, it's a nice smell.
Susumu, wake up.
Is that the island?
Okay, let's go.
That's my ship!
Maybe it's Mr. Kashima?
We did it!
I got a fishing pole!
You just won't die, will you?
What happened
to that two-bit assassin?
He's dead.
It's 'cause he surrounds
himself with losers.
You really ruined my plan.
Let's go.
This'll knock you out cold.
You'd drown if you fell in
the water unconsciously.
I'll see to it
you really die this time.
Stop!
Leave Hitomi alone!
Mr. Kashima!
I don't know how to stop it!
What?!
I can't hear you!
I can't hear you…
She's dead.
I guess there really are those who
are used, and those who use others.
I was being used
this entire time.
It's over now.
- Is it?
- Yeah.
So give it another go.
How?
Trust me.
You won't
betray me, Mr. Kashima?
No.
If you do I'll kill you.
Okay.
I'm serious.
Do you think
Susumu will follow us?
I don't like kids, though.
And I don't like old men.
I guess that's that then.
What about Susumu?
He'll just remain an orphan.
Poor kid.
Can't be helped.
I wonder…
Kashima…
What is the meaning of this,
Kashima?!
I see.
You jumped ship.
Mr. Kashima!
Don't come…
D… Don't c-…
Don't come…
Hey, more people showed up.
Good guys? Bad guys?
Which?
Sons of bitches!!!
Stay back! Stay back!!
Stay the hell back!!!
Hitomi?
Sis?
