Original subtitles

Shu, can't we just split now?

I'm with him.

Trust us, yeah. We won't draw any attention.

- Be quiet. - A deal's a deal. We send it all.

They'll launder it in Hong Kong.

We can spend all we want once it's in dollars.

Just as planned, right?

We've come this far. Have some patience.

And what if it disappears?

Idiot.

- Who are you calling an idiot? - Don't sweat it. I'm just kidding.

Who was it who got overexcited and shot someone who wasn't resisting?

- Eh? - That's enough.

It went well. Stop bickering.

Right. It'll be clean in just over three weeks.

Be sure not to arrive in Hong Kong on the same day.

We go to ground until then.

Later.

Numabukuro... you bastard...

Stop talking nonsense.

Don't get me wrong, it's just a trip.

Just don't lose the passports! And phone me if anything happens.

What the fuck?

He got me.

That fucking Numabukuro!

Take care of the base for me.

The money? You'll have to wait a little longer.

Quit your whining. I'm fucking hurting here!

SHUGEKI

I want Numabukuro.

What's that look on your face? I'll need more than that.

Miko! Don't forget about the money for the funeral.

We had such a big turnout.

We only put people in contact here.

- We don't sell information. - He's a traitor!

That's sold separately.

MISARI

But piss tastes so bitter.

It's finally come to that for you, too, has it?

You pervert.

Sorry, I'll call you back.

It's the janitor. Sorry to call so early.

Okay! Wait a sec.

Where's Numabukuro?

Where is he?

- I don't know. - Don't you?

Still don't know?

Where is he?

Where is he?

I'm sorry.

Won't you tell me where Numabukuro is?

You know, don't you?

You do know.

Why are you so wet down there?

You know where he is, don't you? Hey!

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you. Please stop.

Well?

He's in a hotel.

Hotel Okura.

Okura?

This never happened, right?

Listen. Don't even think about phoning Numabukuro.

Or you're dead.

- Who is it? - It's me. Open up, quick!

You stupid prick. Try using your head next time.

Listen to me. This never happened.

Hi, it's me.

Can you lend me three million? I'll pay back double.

No.

Come on, we're talking double here.

When have I ever lent money to someone as aimless as you, Shu?

Hey! Who do you think you're talking to here?

I'll pay you double, okay?

This call is wasting my money, Shu. I'm hanging up.

Hey! Hey!

Fucking old bitch.

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

Takuji?

The Yanks are so busy with the war, my business is booming!

- You're legit now, then? - That's right.

So, Shu... how's business for you?

Keep your nose out.

- Come on, I told you I needed to talk. - No.

That old lesbian's left you hanging, right?

Come on in.

This is Shu. Just an old friend I can't shake.

Hello.

- You eaten yet, Shu? - No.

Hey, food.

- Don't go to any trouble. - She's a fucking great cook.

Really? That's good.

Lucky you.

- See you. - Mei's in town.

- Mei? - Yeah. Must be fate.

What's she doing?

Works in a furniture store in Gusukuma. Just off Route 58.

Gusukuma? That place we just drove through?

Yeah, that's it.

Why didn't you say?

I was so distracted by your dreamy looks that I forgot.

KYORITSU BANK ROPPONGI BRANCH

Quick, Shu! Get in!

Shu! Shu!

Get off!

Shigeru... Go help him, Shigeru!

Help him!

Shigeru!

Blondes only tonight, Shu.

Takuji!

You've got a wife at home who loves you.

Or don't you care?

That's just the inheritance from ten years ago.

Women never forget when they've been wronged, however much time passes.

I won't forget either, Shu.

Katchan! How's business?

I might as well be in the damn Sahara.

She's fully booked tonight, Takuji.

Sorry.

Sorry? That's not what you promised me!

- We've got this new Filipina... - Fuck that!

- I want one who stinks a little. - You'll have to hold out a little longer.

Katchan, get me a Seven & Seven!

Who was that?

- Pussy gang. - Huh?

Hey, Shu, let's do another job.

You don't give up, do you? Do it without me.

You need a passport, right?

Passport? What are you talking about?

Playing dumb, are we?

Those old bitches wouldn't help you, would they?

- So, what? - Shu...

That was quite the fireworks show you put on in Tokyo.

You think you're living in fairyland?

You do realize you're still in Japan?

You're not as far from Tokyo as you think.

Listen, Shu.

At any given moment, someone's sixth sense or just a phone call

could send the cops knocking on your door.

What's your point?

I can help you out.

Let's see what we can do about that passport.

You're a real scumbag, you know that?

He's called Ford. He's a captain. Manages the base.

Likes to tell us what to do.

When he says the word, it's go-time for us.

A real pain-in-the-ass boss.

He's an alcoholic, with no chance of promotion.

Zero combat experience.

Got the nerve to ask for kickbacks from time to time, though.

But I've heard some rumors.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

He's a regular customer. And a valued one, at that.

And?

You tell me. Was there something you wanted to talk about?

Not really.

You show up out of the blue after ten years.

Are you police now?

It's been a long time.

You happy here?

Usually.

Shigeru!

Stay right there!

- Let's get out of here! - Come on!

- Shu! - What do we do? What do we do?

What do you want?

The boss told me to come over and screw his wife.

I know you want it!

Don't be shy!

What's with you?

Go.

Go!

Come on, give me a discount.

- You're a fucking dead man! - What the...?

What the fuck's this about?

Let's see what you've got in here.

Try some!

Come on, eat up! Eat up!

OKINAWA-USA ENTERPRISES

Koji!

Koji!

Koji!

Hey... Koji, that's enough.

Alright, Koji.

Get up!

That's enough now.

You fucking cocaine-pushing foreigner!

Koji! Koji!

Alright, alright.

You like this place, eh, Shu?

What's that?

Interesting, no?

We've found our next thrill.

Takuji... what exactly are you thinking?

The two of us could pull it off.

Was this the whole reason...

...why you threatened Ford?

It's not about the means.

It's all about the ends.

Come on, Shu. We always need money.

We can secure a good life for ourselves while those idiots die in their war.

I've laid the groundwork. You take it from here.

- You're a moron. - Hear me out, Shu!

Don't worry about them.

You're the only one who thinks so.

- Shu... - What?

You're excited about it, aren't you?

Keep it a secret, right?

Have I seen through you?

Shu!

Shu!

Don't be mad.

Ripping off a Marine base?

You really are a stupid fuck.

I've thought about this.

Everyone knows you from the maintenance job. Don't they?

The money disappears right at the same time as the janitor and the kid?

Takuji, you willing to stake your life on this?

- You're dealing with killers here. - Don't talk down to me.

- I'm not. - I'm serious!

You've got balls, Takuji.

But forget it.

You just hang on to that cleaning job you got out of Ford.

- You chicken? - You just watch Mei.

While you work.

I'm tired of scraping by, picking up trash!

Shu!

Eat with us before you go.

Koji can have mine. Enjoy your meal.

"We always need money.

"We can secure a good life for ourselves while those idiots die in their war."

You can keep picking up trash.

- Yeah? - Shu?

It's Mei.

How did you know I was here?

Mr. Ford asked me to collect his furniture.

- And? - He said I should refund you for them.

I've got the money with me.

Shigeru!

Get in! Get the fuck in!

Don't leave him!

Get the fuck in!

Shu!

Shigeru!

Shigeru!

- What are you and Takuji up to? - Nothing much.

Mei...

Why are you here?

No particular reason.

Halt!

I'm relieved...

...to see you're leading a normal life.

Normal, huh?

What are you here for, Shu?

No particular reason.

We must be stupid, being here together like this.

Yep.

I hoped I'd never see you again.

I'm going home.

- I'll walk you back. - We have nothing to say to each other.

- So, you saw Mei? - How did you know?

You need cash, right?

I called in a favor from our friend Captain Ford.

Listen, Shu.

You haven't cleaned the money from Tokyo yet, right?

- None of your business. - Forget about it.

It's covered in blood and serial codes. Unusable anywhere in Japan.

You need to launder it somewhere, and fast.

Or it's just scrap paper.

Shu, say it ended up somewhere you couldn't get your hands on it.

Funny, right? Just scrap paper.

And?

It'll take time and money to get a passport and travel sorted.

Takuji.

If you wanna die, just use your sixth sense and make that phone call.

You won't make another penny unless you get in on my action.

And no passport either.

Who do you think you're threatening?

Listen, Shu.

Nobody will expect that money to disappear from the base.

They're so worried about the war, they forget to worry about the safe.

The security on the gate's tighter than it is on that safe.

I've worked enough to earn that passport. I'm done.

Our work's just getting started here.

- I told you, I'm done. - Come on, Shu.

Those soldiers don't go off to die in the war for free, you know.

They receive a salary.

America's something else. They have banks on the battlefield.

They put up a tent, and all the troops come for their wages.

They can't use checks or cards there.

They're paid in cash in the desert.

No bars. No brothels. Not even a taco shop.

Basically, they're dumb!

But thanks to them being so dumb,

all that cash is flown from the States to our place of work.

- Fuck off home. - Listen, Shu...

They have 500,000 men in the Arabian Gulf.

Not all of their salaries come through here, of course.

But 5,000 of them do!

How much do you think 5,000 soldiers' wages is?

I told you to fuck off.

It's $20 million.

What's your answer? What's it to be?

Shu! What are you gonna do about this money?

- Just leave it? - Yeah.

Please, Shu, you're the only man for the job.

Takuji...

What would you do if you were rich?

- Get out of here. - You could never come back.

What's it to you if I live or die? Right?

I wouldn't want to go on living anyway.

- Takuji... - What?

Tell me how we'd do it.

Shu!

Let's have a drink.

Thank you for your call.

My name's Morimoto, loan manager at the Taiyo Bank.

Good job finding me, Shu. Where are you?

The guy who runs this place has an interesting hobby.

Can we trust him?

I brought you here, didn't I?

We need a vehicle.

A four-ton box truck.

How you gonna pay?

Cash on delivery.

- You don't need a helicopter? - Helicopter?

If you offer the Marines a little cash, you can fly around Taiwan.

Sounds good, but we'll pass.

This is Morimoto.

Pleasure. I'm Takara.

Shall we get him up to speed?

- About Koji... - Keep him out of this.

- I want him in on it. - No way.

He's been with me since he was a kid.

You've seen how good he is.

I have. That's why it's a no.

You got him involved, though, Shu.

Morimoto's a pro.

It's not gonna happen, Takuji.

Can't he just be my personal bodyguard?

No way.

Shu...

I hate to say this, but he's vital to you getting your passport.

How'd you like that?

How'd you like that?

How'd you like that?

How'd you like that?

Just as good as old times, huh?

It's good, right?

How's that?

How's that?

That's good, that's good.

So good.

Welcome, sir.

- A beer. - Yes, sir.

What's up?

Takuji's money.

He didn't threaten me or anything.

I don't want to have to give it straight to him,

so I thought I'd let you do it.

- It's payment. - A man died for that money.

And a woman lived.

How important money is.

Mei...

Take care of the life that you have here.

I won't be lectured by you.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Shu...

- Do I look so severe now? - No, not at all.

Shu...

Shall we fuck?

Mei gave me your money.

Shu!

- Listen... - I need money.

Later, okay?

What are you guys planning?

We're soon gonna be living the dream.

Koji, go get something to eat.

I was just getting hungry.

Shu...

- Takuji? - Yeah?

Koji's off the job.

Don't fuck with me! We need the manpower!

Then, I'm out.

We've come this far.

- Besides, I've already spoken to Koji. - Against my wishes.

Listen to me, Shu. It won't be like Shigeru ten years ago.

He panicked when shit hit the fan and caught a bullet.

And he was your partner.

Someone with a few foibles is just what we want.

- You lecturing me now? - I am.

The tension of having a wildcard is what brings us all together.

It's the principle.

Takara, if Koji gets in the way of our work, can you dispose of him?

"Dispose of him"?

Could you kill Koji?

What do you say, Shu? I see no problem.

Fine.

Takuji...

Next week. The money comes in next Thursday.

The air force delivers it...

...to the accounts department at 8:30 in the morning.

At 9:00, guys from accounts and the bank count it together.

At 5:00, everyone goes home, except for three guards and some MPs.

As usual, we'll park here in the morning, and then work inside.

And what do you do?

Office maintenance!

Continue.

Next week, we'll be painting the walls and replacing the ceiling tiles.

And we'll be working near the camera, of course.

They know it's a big job, so we can get away with taking on extra people.

They won't be suspicious?

Once we're past the checkpoint, they don't take a second look at us.

The same can't be said about the safe room, though.

You don't have access?

It's stacked with cash. What the fuck do you think?

We need one more guy.

- Otherwise it's impossible? - Yeah, impossible.

While the four of us take on seven Marines, we need a wheelman.

Got anyone in mind?

Tiger Jack.

Think he's up to it?

The old timer was in the military himself.

Morimoto said so.

I see.

- What is it, then? - Huh?

You wanted to talk.

It's Ryoko.

- Right. - Something's not right.

- What will you do? - Take her with me.

Then what?

She might rat me out if I leave her behind.

You take responsibility for her?

- Koji will be with us, too. - Koji, huh?

What's taking so long?

Alright, let's do it.

Okay, we're ready.

Why didn't you come get it sooner?

I want paying for two weeks.

Hey...

Takuji...

Worked out in the end, right? Open her up.

KUNIO TORII

Give me your money.

Hey, he'll be home soon.

Who cares? My body's all yours!

Slut.

Who are you calling a slut? What's so wrong about this?

Talking like you're a saint...

You two-bit gangster.

What are you so afraid of? A woman has needs!

- Koji. - Yeah?

- You eaten yet? - No, not yet.

No?

Ryoko, fix some food.

- Food. - It's fine.

I'll be waiting in the car.

Get ready to leave at any moment.

The three of us can go anywhere we like together!

Where shall we go? Hawaii? South America?

Europe? Africa? Anywhere we like.

Hawaii? Africa? Europe? Wherever we like.

Hawaii?

Africa? Europe?

Or maybe South America? We can go anywhere!

Hawaii?

South America?

Africa? Europe? Anywhere we like!

OKINAWA MARINE FOODS

SCRAP METAL ONLY

Okinawa Marine Foods!

Come on, fuckwit!

That's a big enough haul.

- Where's Koji? - He won't be long.

Seven minutes left.

Takuji.

Koji! We're out of time. Let's go!

I have to look after your wife, too, boss.

- Let's make this quick! - Go on. Careful now.

Let's do this!

We'll lie low here for now.

- I'll leave the rest to you. - Right.

Well, then...

Contact by collect call is fine. See you later.

- Don't forget to phone at 7:30. - We won't.

Shu... will you lend us the keys?

Koji, go pick up Ryoko, will you?

She's your wife. Do it yourself.

I'm tired. Do me a favor.

Shu!

Give the car keys to Koji.

I'm heading out.

Take care.

Catch up later.

Koji...

Take care.

Out of the way!

Fuck you!

Mei.

Who's there?

Mei.

Shu?

It's you, isn't it?

Shu.

I'm over here. Come out now.

We meet again.

Ford here was just saying how crazy we all are.

And?

You want to see it, don't you?

We can split it between us. Problem solved.

- How important money is. - Maybe so.

- I'm sorry. - Don't sweat it.

Hey, Shu...

We still haven't fucked...
