BLUEPRINT FOR MURDER

Screenplay by Shinichi Sekizawa

STARRING

Tatsuya Mihashi,
Makoto Sato, Yuzo Kayama

Saburo Kawazusei, Mickey Curtis,
Mie Hama, Kumi Mizuno

Directed by Kihachi Okamoto

A 30% reduction in gasoline consumption

from acceleration and deceleration.

How was the previous test?

We took it to 120kph,
and the engine didn't skip a beat.

Komatsu, things seem
to finally be coming together.

But other companies aren't going to
sit around sucking their thumbs.

They've already heard
all about what we're up to.

I'm sick of hearing about acquisitions.

They've been harassing us
ever since we turned them down.

Did something happen
that I was unaware of?

We'll talk about that later.

The 20 degree climbing efficiency test
is in the bag.

Don't let your guard down.
Smoke and mirrors won't fool anyone.

CURVES AHEAD

Triangle Peak

Don't forget that the blindfold
is to nurture your sense of intuition.

Not everyday will be as clear as today.

Target Sperm Whale straight ahead.
Distance of 80. Hold steady.

Up. A little higher.
Right. Right.

A little more to the right.

Fire!

Direct hit!

Mr. Kusaka, a telegram.

A telegram?

Your brother died,
come home immediately Komatsu.

Was my big brother
responsible for the accident?

The scene of the accident
would suggest as much.

Given the circumstances, that's the conclusion
the police will arrive at as well I imagine.

Oh, I should introduce you
to my baby sister, Kyoko.

This is Jiro, Kusaka's little brother.

I'm Kyoko.

I'm Jiro Kusaka.

Drink up.

There are unfortunately
a lot of accidents at that spot.

In fact, truck drivers
call it "deadman's curve."

But....

But what?

I don't think it was an accident.

Then... what....

He was a casualty of covert ops.

Covert ops?

Spies.

Mr. Komatsu,
I'm not fooling around here.

I'm not joking either.
It's industrial espionage.

Industrial espionage?

Spies are for war.

Modern industry is
far more brutal than warfare.

New products are the result of
massive financial outlays and research.

If companies aren't careful,
they can lose everything.

This kind of a small operation
is the perfect target.

I need not mention
cameras, textiles, steel,

pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and fashion.

No company is safe from

industrial spies.

Mr. Komatsu, was this rust bucket
really worth killing my brother over?

The problem is the engine.
Air cooled and 19 horse power.

It can run 30km on a liter of gas
and it's cheap to produce.

Simply put, it would be

a domestically produced vehicle
under Y300,000. It's revolutionary.

Where's the proof of espionage?

There is none.
But other companies were after it.

True World, Inc.

Is Sudo here?

Mr. Sudo?

I received a telegram.

True World.

What? Libel?

There is no truth to BG
wanting a showdown in the nude?

But I checked it
before I put the story out.

Who wrote it?

It is our company's policy
not to divulge our sources.

Look, Mister....

He hung up.

He's just like a hungry shark,
snapping at anything he sees.

Whatta lark.

About Sudo....

Oh, the CEO...
Are you a bill collector?

This isn't a joke.

Oh, he's here.
Mr. Sudo is out of the office!

Out? Again?

What are you going to do?
You only have a week left.

We're not just a publishing house.
We also do printing and paper.

Employees' salaries
haven't been paid yet.

If you don't pay in a week,

your creditors
will put a lien on True World.

You've been warned.

Good grief, dead in a week.

Where's Sudo?

He's missing in action.

Missing in action?

I imagine he's out
gathering news somewhere.

You still want to complain?

Look, that's not what we discussed.

The money in question....

What!?

I don't want to squeal,
but Triangle Peak....

You blundering imbecile,
what are you talking about?

The--the motorcycle!

What do you want, Sudo?

That's "Mister Sudo..."

you low-rent hood.

If you're sniffing around for a story,
look some place else.

What's this?

The Nonaka Syndicate
must be pumping this into their veins.

What?!

It produces a sweet juice.

It probably has a street value
of at least a hundred grand.

I don't have to listen to this.

Be careful where you point that.

It was in the paper.

The story of a fella who injured himself,
or didn't you read it?

Now are you convinced?

Your unilateral judgment
doesn't prove a thing.

Unilateral? There's nothing funny going on here.
Unless you have some basis for that comment.

Call it the instinct of a whale hunter.

A whale hunter?

"You can always smell
a whale before it surfaces.".

This is a police department,
not a whaling company.

I'm leaving

What a hot head.

Mr. Azuma, is something the matter?

A whale's intuition....

So... did you find your whale?

Like the report said,
his speedometer was stopped at 65km/hr.

There's no way he could
navigate that curve at such a speed...

No matter how you slice it.

Why did you come here?

A whale's intuition.

No, more like a detective's intuition.

We went over the case
with a fine-tooth comb.

No witnesses?

Just the driver of the dump truck.

Boshu, tell me about Triangle Peak.

I don't know nuthin'.

You can trust me. I'll see to it
that your name doesn't come up.

What did Nonaka put you up to?

I just....

Jiro!

Pretty cold hearted
considering you sent me a telegram.

- Hey get us drinks.
- A friend?

From university.

I got kicked off the team midway,
but I made quite a name for myself.

I batted first, he was stuck at fourth.

And now you're the editor-in-chief, Ken.

Cut with the lame puns.

Where are you sneaking off to?

Give me a break!

Boshu!

I...haven't....

Shut up and get over here!

He has unfinished business here.

Take a number and stand in line.

Shut yer mouth!

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?

Even babies don't cry when
the Nonaka Gang's around. You can't win.

This isn't about winning.

A wiseguy, eh?!

Mistress, you better
tally the damages to your bar!

Put us both on the same tab.

Doggone it,
you ain't seen the last of me!

Pay for the damages!

Broken utensils, Y1,400.
Repairs, Y5,000.

Tonight's drinking tab, Y960.
Ken's running tab, Y2,880.

His running tab?

I wonder if there's a fire somewhere.

It's game over, buddy boy.

Sir, sir.

You need this, don't you?

- You can keep it.
- But...

A photograph is of no use to me.

But this is the real deal...

Maybe if it was the actual design specs,
but nobody is going to buy a blurry photo.

What's up with him?
I already took his stupid photos.

Tomorrow is the final test.

I am confident about the results.

I have decided to talk to you about
the blackmail letter once I finish the test.

If I had talked to Komatsu about it beforehand,
he might have decided not to take the test.

You're with Sudo? We have to talk.

Wake up.

Damn.

Mr. Azuma.

I'd like you to come to the station.

Not another ban on publication.

No, it's about Fusakichi Nakae.

Fusakichi Nakae...

Never met him.

He goes by "Boshu."
I bet you've heard that name.

Is Boshu in some kind of trouble.

He died last night--hit by a motorcycle.

Estimated time of death: 1:00am.
No witnesses and no suspects.

You were with him at "The Peach Tree."

Still, I have no idea who killed him.

I hear you're pretty plugged into
a lot of different information sources.

Who's to say?

What have you been writing?

I don't kiss and tell.

How about it, has the whale surfaced?

Not yet.

Thank you, you're free to go.

That was too easy.

You wanna stay the night?

Bollocks!

What did he mean by,
"Has the whale surfaced?"

My big brother died at Triangle Peak.

Triangle Peak?
You call that the whale? I see.

Do you know something?

No, I don't.
But that whale ain't gonna surface.

What? Why not?

I got a nose for the news.

Drop me off around the next corner.

Where are you going?

Goei Economic Reporting Agency

Sudo, where are you going?

You caught me at just the right moment.

See you later.

Who's that?

Yusaku Otori, he's the financial kingpin
who runs this company.

Or maybe just a corporate racketeer.
Let's go.

I'm busy.

It will only take a minute.
This is military fund procurement.

Military funds?

Without money, we can't properly
welcome our long-lost friends.

I'm not here for fun.

Mr. Sudo!

Shouldn't you be writing copy
instead of goofing off.

You're the one who's goofing off.

What?!

Special report, how about it?

I got the engine.
It'll be this week's top headline.

A trashed car isn't top news!

You knew about it?

I could see it in your face!

If you had the extortion letter
you should have had options.

Of course, if I had known,
I wouldn't have sat for the exam.

No, I'm asking why he didn't
take the matter to the police.

I have a pretty good idea
why Kusaka didn't ask the police.

The police have never successfully
investigated industrial espionage.

The cases don't lead anywhere.

Japan is governed by the rule of law.

The law is precisely the problem.

Simply put, when the plaintiff
decides to take a case to court...

He is obligated to disclose
all research to the court.

Why?

It's part of the case.

So it comes back
to bite them in the ass?

That's what they're after in the first place.

Wasn't the extortion letter
in the apartment?

No, it wasn't.

This is your last chance. I'm sure you can imagine
what will happen if you breach this agreement.

When I listen to you talk,
it sounds like a threat.

A threat?

It's just information.

The cause of the recent rise in the
stock price of Marusan Pharmaceutical...

was a robust new drug pipeline.

So what?

Using the construction
of the new building for gravel.

I got the picture.
How much do you want?

One more thing.

This is a bargain.

Oh, I'll get a fair price all right.

Are you interested
in talking about Triangle Peak?

No, not really.

I didn't expect that.

What are you talking about?

A test driver... died on Triangle Peak.

More precisely, he was killed.
Boshu died too.

The younger brother
of the test driver is suspicious.

I was sure you'd be paying cash
on the barrelhead for this one.

Is this all right, sir?

Maegawa.
Yes.

You've always had good instincts.

Not at all, sir.

I didn't pay you anything
for Triangle Peak.

I'm not interested in it.

Maekawa, this is pretty stingy.

Why don't you tack on
another Y35 to round off the figure.

You still owe me
for the ramen the other day.

You're tighter than the bark on a tree.

That's what everyone says.

So was an acquisition discussed?

Officially, there were three offers.

Who?

ABC Industries, Venus Oil...

Why would an oil company
want to buy an engine?

If people start using more efficient engines,
it eats into oil companies' profits.

So they buy the patent
and bury the design.

Who was the final bidder?

Goei Economic Reporting Agency.

What are you doing?

I'm going to have
a little talk with them.

- You're leaving already?
- Excuse me, I'm in a hurry.

Is everything all right?

He's just like his brother.

Of course it was an official proposal.
It was a technological exchange really.

Be that as it may,

It was such a small company,
no proper marketing distribution system,

and I thought it would be
a win-win deal for both companies.

Really? But an oil company
buying an engine patent...

isn't conceivable in Japan.
Maybe they were doing it for a foreign firm.

Could you wait awhile longer?

The man in charge is out of the country.

I represented the company in this matter
so I'm well versed in the details.

It's just like the profit on a piece of
real estate. First, you buy something...

Then you wait for its price to go up.

It's an investment in intellectual property.
It's one part of diversified management.

I believe Sudo was just here.

So you're the little brother
harboring suspicions.

Suspicions?

Sudo was here.

Of course
it's none of my business, but....

But what?

It's improper to speak ill of others,
but some people care of nothing but money.

I have to leave the office now.
Excuse me.

I'm terribly sorry.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

They don't know.

Nobody knows my heart.

Like a shimmering black canal.

Red neon overflows.

They don't know.

Nobody knows. Nobody knows.

It's a story that nobody knows.

What's with the long face, Ken?

I've got no business
with the likes of you.

You're such a heel.

Mr. fancy pants is calling.

I'll be spending the night
at his place no doubt.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

They don't know.

What a rare treat to see you here.

I came here to make good on a promise.

What promise?

Wasn't there something
you wanted to discuss.

Oh, that.

Don't you remember?

It's not like I forgot, but still....

People on the street
acting so sophisticated.

I laugh in my sophisticated rouge.

They don't know.

Do you want your fortune told?

That's cute.

How do you do it?

If you stick your index fingers in both ends
and kiss it, you'll have good luck in love.

Hey, they touched.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

I can't get my fingers out.

That means your fortune will be good.

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Stop already!

This game is only for actual customers.

Who are you?

The manager.

...or something.

Why have you been having me tailed?

Having you tailed?

You must be joking.

If you were joking,
why was your boy packing this?

Don't play dumb, tell me.

There's an old saying.

What?

"Moderation in all things."

I go all the way in everything I do.

Hey... is this the face off?

Jiro, splashing around in the wrong
swimming pool can get you drowned.

The wrong pool?

Yes, seek diplomacy in all interactions.

Isn't that right, Shiman?

Aptly put.

I wouldn't try to talk
with the likes of you.

Hey, don't be difficult.

Whiskey straight.

- We're outta here, Jiro.
- Go ahead.

You hard headed schlub. Cut it out.

What?! Are you in with these vermin?!

Tone it down,
this place obviously excites you.

You'll calm down once you're outside.

I'm going to borrow this just for a second.

Everybody be careful, there are police in the vicinity.

What's going on here?

Nuthin'

We're cool.

Nothing?

I just want to say one thing.
Cops aren't suckers.

We're not trying
to pull anything over on you.

Then maybe you should.

Because everyone is here and
you all look like you swallowed a bug.

It's stuck.

Ken

Why did you butt in?

You sure are mistrustful.
One or two guys aren't enough.

Why not?

I thought I told you,
this is the belly of the beast.

You can't harpoon a whale
with a straight shot.

He was my only brother.

That's why they have laws and cops.

The law just gets in the way.

What?

Use your head.

Open your eyes,
you could be next.

You'd be in the way.

Is that a threat?

You don't trust anyone do you?
It's friendship.

Friendship doesn't pay the piper.

You've sure changed.
Who's been pushing your buttons?

Watch out!

Mr. Otori, my understanding is that...

you were approached by both
ABC Industries and Venus Oil.

So I'd like to ask about the outlook.

If it comes to a bidding war,
we'd be the only ones interested.

That is to say, the people in charge of
both ABC Industries and Venus Oil...

will play along
once they get a whiff of this.

I see.
So that's the hand you're going to play.

Well then....

What about the rest of the money?

To be paid in full
in cash upon receipt of the design.

This is the design.

I don't see that its technology
has any value.

But this is not something worth
Y1-2 million.

It's worth at least Y30 million

In the international markets
it could fetch almost Y100 million.

Even I'd write a threatening letter
if it would put me on easy street.

If we start reeling in Shiman's line,
we might get it.

Logically true, but it might just be
the tip of the iceberg.

The tip of the iceberg?

Hey, a friend to see you.

- A friend?
- Please come in.

Excuse me for the intrusion.

Hi boss. Long time, no see!

What happened here?

Product returns.
Here you go.

Put those bills away!

Miki's letter of resignation.
What?!

He said he got a job with
the Goei Economic Reporting Agency.

That's cold blooded.

No, what's cold blooded are the printing,
publishing, paper and document fees...

to be paid in full in cash.
What're you gonna do?

I'll think of something.

Well don't think about it too long!

If you don't make good on these bills,
they said you can kiss True World goodbye.

Dammit.

You just sat and listened to that?

I spoke up.

Then what did you say?

I said, "Please come in."

Fool!

Eh, excuse me?

It was unfortunate.

But I think the late Mr. Kusaka
would have been pleased.

What are you saying?

We've just signed a provisional agreement
centered on cooperation on technology.

A provisional agreement?

I'll go over it one more time.

I got it. I pretend to be an electrician
for the Marusan Building construction site.

and add one extra electrical line
when I install the electricity.

Do you know where?

In the CEO's office and the conference room,
the extra line is for a hidden microphone.

All the details on meetings and the new
drug pipeline will be ours from here on out.

We can sell it to our clients. It will be
one part of a diversified-management approach.

Yes, it's me.

What? An agreement?
With who?

It's a provisional agreement.
Nothing is clear at this time. Yes.

Offer a higher price.

It's not about money?

Yes, my research
isn't about making money.

Kusaka felt the same way.

From the start, I had no interest in Goei
Economic Reporting Agency's arbitrage scheme.

Still, you gave me a start when you
suddenly mentioned a provisional agreement.

All a part of my master plan.

I don't doubt Mr. Maekawa,
but news like this spreads like wildfire.

You can betcher bottom dollar
that the industrial spies will move on this.

I see.

I'm off.

Jiro, the next move is theirs to make.

That will leave us one step behind.

Remind you of someone?

What?

You're brother.

Pawnshop GOLD

...That's the reason

The provisional agreement is their prerogative.
The boss just wants the design.

I know, but....

There's nothing to think about.

When are you going to do it?

A rush job. I'll get in touch with Hong Kong.
Late tonight at Palason.

Something smells.

You never know.

What are you doing out here?

Damn, don't sneak up on me like that.

What's that?

A letter from my aunt.

Your aunt?

Tomi, never bullshit a bullshitter.

Hey, give that back.

You're aunt, eh?

Chief of police,
Tokyo Minamizawa Police Department

You better pack a suitcase.

It depends on what the boss says.

Of course we move.
This move cannot go unanswered.

What the hell are you doing here?

We still have
unfinished business from yesterday.

It's you!

I moonlight here as a tax consultant.

How can we help you?

What did you mean,
"This move cannot go unanswered?"

Thinking about taxes makes my head hurt.

Don't just skulk off.

What's the problem?

Who's the boss you were talking about?

None of your business, bub.

Answer my question.

You--who are you?

If you have time for fighting,
you have time

to talk to the boss about my salary.

National incomes have doubled
in case you haven't heard.

He's such a skinflint.

He's running
an economic reporting agency after all.

I wonder if he doesn't understand.

Oops, I guess I spoke out of turn.

Just pretend like I didn't say anything.

I got a juicy scoop today.
This is going to cost you extra.

We'll talk about it later.

Aren't you interested in
the Taika Chemical incident five years ago?

What?

You peddled their technological information
after poaching it from them...

and the sucker you hoodwinked committed suicide.
That was Technology Director Wada.

Where did you get that information?

You should watch your mouth
when you talk to pretty girls.

I expect you know Tomi,
she was Wada's daughter.

She has the face of an angel,
and all along she was plotting her revenge.

I didn't know he would kill himself.

Then you won't mind if I make it
the cover story of the next issue.

How much do you want?

Y1 million.

What?

That's blackmail.

Naah, it's sound business.
Think it over.

I don't have that kind of money.

You can scrape up
Y1 million from Palason.

I know all about you
clandestinely managing Palason.

After close tonight.

At Palason?

Don't let anyone follow you.

I could have gotten more from you
if I had put a little more time in on it.

This is my big chance too.

What are you doing here, Jiro?

I have business with Otori.
Step aside.

Just one second.

Out of my way.

Ken, you bastard.

Why didn't you chase after him?

Why did you try to stop me?
You're on his side, aren't you?

When are you going to calm down?
Let's go get a bite to eat.

No.

Why not?

Think about it.

I can't imagine.

Ah, Mr. Sudo.

Wait,
I'm going to pay you every last penny.

So stop pestering me.

You seem to be investigating
something on the sly. What is it?

A whale's instinct.

Something smells fishy?

No, it's the incident at Triangle Peak.

That case is closed.

It was deemed an accident.

Have you turned up new information?

No, not really.

But it seems
connected with the hit and run of Boshu.

Connected? How?

Industrial espionage is now quite fashionable.
There seems to be a connection.

Let's cast a line.

That won't work, I expect.

If you pull too hard,
you only catch the little fish.

We'll leave the bait to swim free.

The bait?

Yep.

We'll reel him in
when it takes a firm bite.

Who's the bait?

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

They don't know

Withered leaves, fallen leaves

Are you looking for someone?

No. Is Otori in yet?

People on the street
acting so sophisticated.

I just laugh in my sophisticated rouge.

They don't know.

They don't know. They don't know.

Nobody knows.

The mug barged in on Otori at his house.

What a pesky rat.

You want that I rub him out?

Let's wait and see what he does.

Hey...

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

They don't know.

Ken, are you going out again?

Yeah, I gotta meet someone at the Palason.

I wanna go too!

No dice, twinkle toes.
This isn't a night on the town.

You should quit Palason.

But Ken....

You're the one who fingered Otori.

Me?

Ken, you didn't give that letter
to the police, did you?

I showed it to the man himself.

What a relief.

Why?

I made the whole thing up.

What?

I'm not Wada's daughter.

She was a classmate
of mine in high school.

The story is true though.

She moved back
to her hometown after that.

Why did you do it?

Otori's a tightwad.

He always says he's going to
buy me a coat, but it's just talk.

That's why I told him
I'd write a letter to the police.

If that's true, why didn't you tell me?

How did you put it?
"Never bullshit a bullshitter."

What's the matter?
You look like you saw a ghost.

I didn't expect you today.

I have business.

Maegawa, what are you doing here?

I'm here as a customer.

A customer?

Yes.

This is your kind of place?

It's complicated.

Is it?

Yes.

Shiman, why is it complicated?

I planned to talk to you about it.

Talk to me about it now.

I was just looking for Mr. Otori,

but I can see everyone's here tonight.

Mr. Otori, I'll take
the Y1 million you owe me.

Put the booze down.

- I need two or three days.
- I can't wait.

Will this do?

Maegawa....You

I'm extremely perceptive.
I took it from the deposit today.

You've proven your acumen
as an economic consultant.

Well then.

Ken.

What do you want?

Where did you get that money?

Cut the stern look.
This business is straight up.

Mr. Otori, I just have one question.

Is this your work?

It's a threat my brother received
before he died at Triangle Peak.

I don't know.
I have no idea.

Then who does?!

Let's go.

Get out of my way.

You're the one who's in the way.

Mr. Otori, I'll come back later.

I...

I want this so bad my bones ache.

Whoever wrote it
will turn up soon enough.

What are you two up to?

Who's to say?

You wrote that blackmail note!

Yes, it's me.

My call from Hong Kong.

Your call from Hong Kong.

Yes, it's me.
Did you get my message?

Yes, boss.
Maekawa and Shiman are here.

We'll get the design plans
by force if necessary.

Loud and clear.

Execute the plan tomorrow....

Yes. I'll see you in Hong Kong.

These are the complications I mentioned.

You scoundrels.

Quiet,
you'll drive up your blood pressure.

What did you want to talk about?

- If you got a hit where would you run?
- To first base of course.

You're running to third.

What?

Why?

Why what?

Who's making you run to third base?

Enough games.

They were about to open a ventilation hole
from your chest to your back.

Hogwash!

I couldn't watch you
commit suicide in there.

Ken, you know, don't you?

Not everything.

Who killed my brother?

Forget about your brother and worry
a little bit more about yourself.

Answer me!

Once you figure it out
it'll be too late.

If that's all you need, I'm going home.

Hold it.

Give it up.

You son of a bitch.

What?

Jiro, they're hitmen!

Don't look! And don't stand still.
Punch me.

You mug!

If I can't make a buck off it I'm out.

Double-dealer!

Move! Move!

You hear me! Robbery, murder, pole catting,
vendettas, mistresses, other people's mistresses....

It all boils down to one thing... money!

If you don't like it come and get me!

Damn, they're coming.

Damn you!

What...!

Give me one last good shot
and I'll fall on top of them.

Sons of....

This is the dog who was gunning for you.

Who's the big enchilada of this outfit?

Spit it out!... Is it Otori?

Who?

Shiman.

Shiman wrote the blackmail note too?

Maekawa.

What about Triangle Peak?

Maekawa took care of it
on his motorcycle.

We weren't too late.

Ken.

The top batter and the fourth
send it home.

This ain't baseball,
but at least this way it will be exciting.

For Detective Azuma
Minamizawa Police Station

What do we do with this?

We'll stir up a ruckus.

A ruckus?

It'll liven up the neighborhood a little.

I'm the electrician.

You're here to
reroute the speaker system.

Oh, I just learned how to do that.

The flight arrives
at Haneda airport at 9:00pm.

I'll be waiting in the lobby.

Be there 20 minutes before departure.

How long does it take to get
from Komatsu motors to the airport?

Around 20 minutes.

Well then, it has to be done
an hour before at 8:00pm.

Good, if we do it at the last minute
the police won't expect an escape.

What should we do with our "friend."

Let's leave him for Nonaka.
We can make a buck out of it that way.

Hey, why don't you two goons buzz off.

This isn't a construction site.

Starting today,
I'm the owner of this place.

What happened to Otori?

I don't know.

He's not at home or his office.
This is the only place he could be.

You're just itchin'
for a knuckle sandwich, mac.

- We just wanna know about Otori.
- He ain't here.

- What about Shiman?
- I fired him.

Get outta here before
I have you arrested for trespassing.

What a strange guy.

I'm the manager.

Oh, I'm sorry sir.

So Mr. Kusaka won't be in today?

You might find him at the apartment.

No, he apparently won't be back tonight.

Did something happen to him?

We seem to have lost sight
of the fishing bob.

This is weird.

That it is.

It's fishy.
I could've sworn I saw them in there.

Let's go in.

Even the police need a warrant
before they search buildings.

What are you doing here
in the afternoon?

Ken, the Nonaka gang is running the Palason.
I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

Who told you?

I went there to get my stuff.

You're the one who told me to quit.

Did you see Otori?

No, why?

What about Shiman?

Nope. I did see Maekawa.

What? You know Maekawa?

He's always there talking with Shiman.

Is he still there?

I saw him in a garage in Takiyamacho
on the way here.

Jiro, you go to the garage.
I'll go check out the Palason.

Otori still owes me.

Let's go.

Where is it?

It'll be simpler... just to show you.

OK, let's go.

It's the motorcycle.

Basement:
Authorized Personnel Only

I thought we took care of you last night.

The pleasure was all mine.
Is Otori here?

You can have a sit down with him.

Do we owe you money too, detective?

This is no joke.

Did you see Mr. Sudo?

I was hoping you could tell me.

Just a second.

If you see Mr. Sudo
please give him this.

What is it?

My letter of resignation.
It says he can keep my severance pay.

Maekawa's late.

Get ready to go as soon as he arrives.

Phone call from Maekawa.
You can take it downstairs.

Right.

This is Shiman.
You're late, what happened?

What?
You have Jiro and Tomi?

After I take care of the two of them.

There's no way I'll make it on time.

I'll be waiting at the Marusan Building
construction site on the way there.

Can you handle this by yourself?

OK, got it.

Nonaka.

I have something to tell you.

The victims and criminals
are all finally together.

Otori's murderer is the tabloid writer.

What if he's found
dead from suicide, gun in hand.

Then it won't come back to haunt us.

When are you going to be done?

It'll take two days.
And tonight I have to conduct a test.

I'm going to grab a drink,
so keep an eye on things.

Your brother is a stubborn one. He wouldn't meet our demands.

Now that you know our secrets,
we can't let you live.

Our Hong Kong boss is very decisive.

You thought you could just
muscle in on our private affairs?

You didn't do a damn thing.

Your brother died in an accident.
And you will die in a double suicide.

You and your brother will both be dead,
but at least yours will be somewhat romantic.

Hey, pal.

Could you do me a favor
and stick your finger in this hole?

What?

The line is supposed to run through here.
I need some help finding it.

Hey, come on, be a friend.

How is it?

I don't know.

Miki!

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Tomi!

Jiro!

Ken.

Dammit, don't just die on me.

Hurry up!

Hey, shake a leg!

Tomi, out!

Call an ambulance
if anyone inside is injured.

Also call Detective Azuma.

What's so funny?

I'd pay anything
to see the look on their faces.

Oh, thank goodness.
You don't need an ambulance.

Who are you?

I'm Jiro's friend.

Jiro!

Where is he?

He and Ken went to get
the design blueprints back.

Call them back.

They stole the wrong one.

The real one is there.

And there.

And there.

And there.

They're all over the room.

From the CEO's office
to the conference room....

From the CEO's office
to the conference room....

From the CEO's office
to the conference room....

This is just like
the bottom of the ninth inning.

Ken and Jiro tailed me.

What? What about the blueprints?

We'll hide and ambush them.

Maegawa!

Come out!

Shiman, you can't get away.

The police have you surrounded.

Let's go.

Hello.

Hello, is this the construction site?
Could you please put Ken on the phone?

What? Then Jiro.

They're both tied up at the moment.

Who are you?
What?

Oh, Miki.
Could you give them a message?

Sure, that's wonderful.
Yeah, OK. Understood.

Hey, you two.

What?!

Everything's fine at Komatsu Motors.

I know!
Now find someplace to hide!

So you're supposed to go home now.

Cretin, we're a little busy here!

The blueprint is a fake.
There's no point in risking your lives.

What!?

F-A-K-E.

F-A-K-E, F-A-K-E, F-A-K-E....

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Congratulations
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Jesus H Christ!

Watch it!

Holy frickin'....

Ken, what happened?

My eyes are covered in blood.
I can't see.

Hold on a second.

Jiro, what happened?

Both my hands are injured. I can't fight.

What?!

Ken, do you know what this is?

A rivet gun.

Get ready to use it.

I'll tell you how to aim it.

Right, right, a little more to the right.

Up, a little higher.

Shoot!

Shoot!

Shoot!

It looks like the whale finally surfaced.

It's different from the ocean.

If you do any better,
you'll put us out of business.

Hello!

I guess we won't
be needing the speaker anymore.

Imbecile, I'll arrest you
for disturbing the peace.

OK!

What are you going to do?

If I get a hit, I'll run to first.

No, I'm asking
what you're going to do in the future.

Maybe you could teach me whaling.

Hey, pitch him one he can hit!

Sheyit!

THE END
