Original subtitles

Beat it, you live next door!

There really is no place like home!

Is work keeping you busy?

Yeah, fairly busy.

If you're hungry, I can slice this.

How are you doing, Mom? You haven't been too lonely?

It hasn't been easy. Your father passed very suddenly.

That's for sure. I can't believe it's already been a year.

That reminds me, did you bring what I asked?

Yeah, but I don't know why.

I filled in your information, but make sure I got it right, okay?

- An application? - Is anyone home?

I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by!

And... who might this be?

Lucky Travel Agency Ltd.

- The one I said I'd be travelling with. - Oh, your daughter!

I knew it! You're the spitting image of each other in spirit!

I hate to get right down to business, but do you have that form?

Right here.

May I also see your passports?

Ah, thank you.

"Xiang Xiang," am I reading that right?

Yeah.

I suppose I should explain again why I'm suggesting Kyoto.

On its surface, the Japanese tourism industry might appear to be flourishing,

but between the weak yen and state of the world these days,

I must say, they're in rather dire straits!

Kyoto's tourism industry in particular

is on the verge of going down like the Titanic!

We will contact you as soon as we receive--

If you don't mind me asking,

is it really worth the time and money to come all the way out to a place like this?

Knowing that my clients are happy is all the payment I require! Go together Let's go sightseeing in Kyoto, Japan!

And isn't this a little cheap?

Honestly, you can be so suspicious!

Right! Kyoto is endorsed as being safe and worry-free!

Two people or more gets you 20% off!

Payment would be a lump sum, one-time payment in cash,

but if we can get you squared away right now...?

Right?

Hey, Mom! You know what I could go for?

Your special pourover coffee!

Well, I suppose...

Do you drink coffee?

Hm? Oh! Yes!

I've been totally hooked on it lately!

Oh, my.

The website written on this flyer

doesn't seem to exist.

O-Oh! That has our old web address on it!

D-Did I forget to update that?

Hello, Kyoto Prefecture Tourism Alliance.

Hi, I had a question about your subsidy program for foreign tourists.

Let me look that up for you.

Did we have a subsidy program...?

Oh, I just realized!

This isn't through Kyoto Prefecture, it's through Kyoto City!

Of course! This is the wrong paperwork!

Well, the ferry is about to leave, so I should be going!

I'll be back later!

The next ferry doesn't leave for four hours, actually.

Seriously, man, don't you have better things to do?

I do what I have to do to survive!

By grifting elderly marks?

Oh, bite me!

Look at you, sitting back and acting all high and mighty!

Well, I'm calling the cops.

Hello? Is this the police?

I'm so sorry, miss! It was a spur of the moment thing!

I got fired from my part time job a month ago!

Look up, please.

And your I.D.

Republic of China National Identification Card Yang K'un I

It's over... It's all over...

Huh?

If I catch you doing this again, it's the slammer for you, got it?

Sorry for the wait!

- Thank you so much! - Hey! What's the big idea?! Cut it out!

Now this is a surprise.

You don't often come, Mr. Lin.

Jay is otherwise engaged.

Is he feeling himself again?

Feeling himself?

He was completely distracted during our last meeting.

I'd never seen him act that way before.

Ah, I understand.

You might want to ask my colleague here about that.

Hm?

She broke things off with him just recently.

Hmph.

Hm? Oh! I see...

Didn't I tell you that was a bad idea?

I still can't believe her daughter was black...

Gotta admit, though, she was cute.

Oh? Got any pics?

No, but she got one of me as blackmail fodder!

How many times are you gonna mess up like this?

Look, Ayi, maybe it's time to hang it up.

I can't do much else...

Like the people at your actual job keep telling you.

- Quit before you get nicked. - Then pay me enough to live on!

I keep telling you, get a part time hustle! STIR FRY - LIVE SEAFOOD

You don't earn squat from part time hustles!

Oh, my. The self-proclaimed master grifter is slumming in a place like this?

- What the hell are you doing here? - I could ask you the same.

I'm just having a drink with my friend!

You really ought to stop mooching off of Jay.

What's wrong with having a buddy treat you to a meal?

- Ah. He does have a type. - Yep.

What's he got that I don't?

He's big in various ways.

While yours probably the size of a caterpillar.

Screw you!

That reminds me.

How come Jay and Bingyan broke up?

Beats me.

Yang. Does he have any weaknesses?

Hmph.

His weakness is stinky tofu.

Give him a bite of that, and you're in for a show.

Don't tell him stuff that you'll regret.

My suit jacket.

Forward me that black girl's contact info later.

- Huh? But that's dealt with-- - She took a picture of you, right?

If I don't get ahead of this, it'll come back to bite you.

We're leaving!

What about the report tomorrow?

You handle it.

Who were those people?

A NEET whom I volunteer to take care of and his boyfriend.

Who's he calling a NEET?

May lightning strike him down!

Did you bring enough for the whole class?

Call it quality control. Where's Jay?

Off playing hooky. Is that any way for the underboss to behave?

Take it up with Old Man Wang.

How's Bingyan working out as your secretary?

She's a handful. Can I cut her loose?

Absolutely not.

Is this really that good?

She's easier to manage than you are.

That's high-grade shit. Where'd you get it?

That's my secret.

- Chiang P'in Chüeh... - Please, call me Jay.

Shouldn't your friend be the one coming to apologize?

His adjustment disorder has been really bad lately.

Do you expect me to buy a lame excuse like that?

I don't.

We all find this whole incident extremely regrettable.

Please accept this as a token of our regret.

Sorry, I can't accept.

Why not?

Because I want to hear him apologize again.

Please put that away.

I'm sorry! I'll see to it that he never does it again, so please forgive him!

What brought that on?

Well, you said you wanted an apology, so I thought...

Well, you're easy on the eyes, so if you agree to help me kill time,

I'll forgive him.

And the picture?

I'll delete it, of course.

What?

When you eat, you open your mouth just like a hippo.

Ah.

That's right, all the way in.

Now, try to cast it into the middle.

They got out of the business, but my family used to make and sell dried fish.

But I've never fished before...

Hm.

Take it off for me?

That was fast!

Are your parents from America?

Nope, I'm just the only one with black skin.

Sounds like there's a story behind that.

How about you?

I grew up in an orphanage, so I guess I've never been what you'd call lucky.

Hm...

But I got to spend the day with a lovely lady, so there's that.

Man, that's good!

Okay, that was fun!

So... will you hold up your end of the deal now?

The deal?

The pic of my fat grifter friend.

Ah.

Put that away.

It's money that you swindled out of someone, right?

You're so stubborn...

It's gone. Care to check?

That's okay.

My buzz has worn off...

Join me for a nightcap?

Good morning.

Good mor--

Oh, right... Ow!

We went out for drinks, and then what happened?

You told me about yourself.

Like how it takes more than getting shot to kill you.

Did I tell you that I have amnesia?

Yep. You'd never guess it from looking at you, though.

It's the truth!

Oh, crap!

Republic of China National Identification Card Li Xiang Xiang

You okay in there?

Yeah... I'm fine...

I kinda find that charming about her, too.

I'll never drink again...

I'll draw a bath for you.

Sure...

Once your stomach settles down, sweat out those toxins.

Thanks so much...

You think this is her?

Yeah. Just look into her family tree.

So... are you gonna play hooky again today?

Hey, I'm trying to mend a broken heart.

Tell me

what you dug up when I get back.

Where's Jay?

Taking the day off, getting into trouble with a woman.

Given the circumstances, I'd be happy to take over all of his duties.

Keep a tight rein on that boy.

I will, sir.

Bingyan. What's the word from Shanghai?

- They report no signs of that crew. - You can go.

- I see. - But I just got here!

Tsai. About the special economic zone deal.

We're going to go through with it.

The deal in Singapore?

I'm going to Kaohsiung to meet with their lawyer.

But we don't exactly have a good history with that place, sir.

These times call for stable revenue streams.

Besides, drugs may be profitable, but they--

You have something on your face.

Make sure the prodigal son gets the memo.

Hey, you doing okay?

Oh, come on...

She'd better not be passed out on the floor...

I'm sorry I made you worry...

That's okay, don't worry about it.

I found your I.D. just now.

Oh.

Whoa, hey now...

Hold it in until we can get you to the toilet, okay?

Careful down there!

Ow...

Oh, you're in our line of work, Mr. Yang?

Once upon a time. So, you say you want to see the sights?

Totally!

As soon as I step off the plane, there you were, seeing to my every need!

And your guide fee is only 1,000 yen! Am I lucky or what!

Hello?

Been a while.

W-Wait, is this--

It's no big deal.

A friend of mine is coming to town, so I want you to show him around.

What? It's a bit sudden...

Fine, then pay me back all the money you owe me!

Allow me the honor of doing this favor for you, Lady Abby!

Okay, let's see what you're like...

Well, well... There are sweet notes in the aftertaste.

Huh? Really?

Man, Taipei is the best!

The coffee is delicious, and the people are all super nice!

You like it here?

You betcha!

Is there anywhere in particular you wanted to go?

Well, let me think...

Can we stop by two or three more cafés after this?

Sure!

You feeling better now?

I'm sorry... Do we know each other?

Uh...

Will he get his memory back anytime soon?

It's hard to say.

For now, we'll just have to wait and see.

Is this going to be about this morning?

I had just walked in, so why did you shoo me out the door?

His mood suddenly went south

when you walked through that door and not Jay.

You could have warned me.

Maybe it's time to introduce Jay to the idea of penalties.

Like that's ever happened before.

Uncle.

Can you think of any reason that Jay would have gone incommunicado?

Who knows, maybe he's been abducted by some strange woman.

Like in Misery, you mean? That would be hilarious.

Please don't touch that.

Oh?

You only worked one job together?

Yeah, I thought I was the best in Taipei, but then-- OW!

Trust me, I know what that's like!

Like I'm gonna work with a crew like that on a regular basis!

I'm keeping them at arm's length, too!

Okay, brother! Once we're done here, let's hit the night market!

Well? Anything coming back to you?

Um, this shirt is a little small...

It's your fault for being too damn big!

- Make do while yours are in the wash. - Okay...

- Um, what's my name...? - Chiang P'in Chüeh.

Chiang P'in Chüeh...

You slipped and hit your head,

but it's so hard that they discharged you right away.

Plus, I blew through all the money you had on you, so--

What's wrong?

I suddenly started feeling itchy all over...

What's that?

Stinky tofu! This place makes the best!

Really?

Something tells me you'll like it.

Do you?

Well...

I guess it's okay.

Whoa! Are you okay?!

Holy crap, look at that rash!

You don't have some kind of tofu allergy, do you?

It itches...

Should I call an ambulance?

No, I think I'll be okay if I can cool down...

Yeah, three guys should be plenty.

It's like Jay dropped off the map...

Feel free to rough her up a bit.

- This is so good! - I know, right?!

Yeah. What's up?

Do you know where Jay is?

No, not yet. What's it worth to you?

- Forget I asked. - Wait, hold up.

If I find him, how's 50,000 sound?

Two hundred thousand if you bring him in. Sound good?

Great. Later, then.

Sounds like you're doing pretty well for yourself!

- Gotta hit the little boys' room. - Sure.

Ugh.

Kinda old for potty training pants, ain'tcha?

JAY?!

Food Market | Public Restrooms

Two hundred thou is walking away! Crap!

Hey!

Did you see a big guy? Wearing split pants?

Mr. Yang! I just remembered that I've been dying to try prawn fishing!

Taxi!

- Hello? - Sorry, the tour will have to wait!

Don't tell Abby, okay? Bye!

That's it?

Isn't someone going to find out about your "quality control" one of these days?

Only if you say something you shouldn't.

Anyway, what's the word on Jay?

Still incommunicado.

Xiang Xiang Li. What do we know about her?

Single, no criminal record.

Legally adopted around ten years ago by a couple who sold dried goods.

Personal history prior to that is a blank.

So before ten years ago, we don't know anything about her.

So that's what's going on...

Xiao Lin, would you mind bringing this woman to my place?

Will do.

But do it quietly.

That's up to her.

Let's see...

Don't scratch it, I said!

I think I've got something in here...

You probably don't remember that I told you,

but my past is a total blank, too.

They said they found me floating in the ocean after being shot.

I don't know what I did, but they must have been really pissed at me.

But a kindly couple took in that mystery woman and adopted her.

My mom and dad.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them.

Okay, turn around.

About what you said... Why do you think they shot you?

Maybe I broke up with a guy who was the super-jealous type?

Like, what if you were a con artist or something?

- OW! - Don't be rude! Of course not!

Stupid taxi driver, kicking me out just 'cuz I was a little short...

Damn, these are some nice digs.

Hey, that's one of Lin's flunkies.

That was fast. But he ain't gonna snatch her out from under me.

That 200,000 belongs to me!

Aren't they still damp?

Yeah, but the seat of those other pants had ripped.

I thought it was a sexy look.

Do you travel abroad a lot?

Nah, I haven't managed to yet.

I want to travel the world and see a bunch of countries, you know?

I can sort of understand that feeling.

And I finally got a new passport, too...

Geez, we hear you!

Who's out there?

- They don't look like delivery boys. - What, really?

Hey, what's gotten into you?

Xiao Lin's foot soldiers...

Hey! What do you guys think you're doing?!

Yep, this was the right place.

- You know these guys? - Beats me...

Mr. Jay, we're here to bring you in.

Lin says it's urgent.

I'll go and ask them if they know who I am.

What? You're going with them?

Should we bring the woman, too?

Who the hell are you guys?!

You see, we were told to bring her in, too.

Chill out!

Chill out, I said!

Hold it!

- The back entrance? - This way!

They gave you the slip?

Ayi, thanks for the save.

Wait 'til you get my bill.

I'll pay it.

So just play along and follow my lead here, okay?

Come again?

I hit my head pretty bad.

So I have amnesia. Just play along.

Just in front of Xiang Xiang.

I'm counting on you.

Of all the...

Hey!

I knew you looked familiar! You're that con artist!

Of course I'm not!

But we've got bigger problems! He's lost his memory!

Do I look like a doctor? I can't help with that.

Besides, this guy is just someone I know through work.

Why'd you set off my building's fire alarm?

I was just...

I happened to spot you two at the night market, and I...

How'd you get to my place? Did I ever give you my address?

Your address, uh...

It was in your passport, remember?

- I'm so screwed! - Hey, it saved your ass.

I can never go back now! I have to find someplace to stay!

Gosh! If only I could remember where I live!

You're a wanted man, remember?

Look, if it's okay with you...

You can come to my place.

It's not like you can camp out here.

What kind of moron would go to a con artist's place?

- Uh, I think we're better off there. - Apologize first!

What?! I already apologized back then!

Kaohsiung City, Sinsing District

Can I be perfectly frank?

Yes, of course.

Why would a Singapore GLC want to partner with us?

I'd like to know your reasoning.

For my part, I can only say that it was the result of rational decision-making.

That's hardly an answer.

The details are in this dossier.

May I tell you a bit about my little brother?

He was involved in a car accident when he was very young.

The driver at fault was a government official.

The accident was swept under the rug without so much as an apology.

Why tell me this?

I'm sorry.

His artificial hand made the same sound as yours. I couldn't help noticing.

Suddenly finding your body mangled without rhyme or reason

brings with it tremendous pain.

The kind that stays with you your entire life.

Did you get revenge against him?

I'll get it through this deal.

You moved, huh?

The walls at the old place were way too thin.

So I guess this really is the perfect place to lay low.

Why are you on the run from the syndicate?

It's complicated.

Come clean with me, or I'm selling you out to Lin.

A ways back, the syndicate was the victim of a huge con.

The con artist...

You think it was Xiang Xiang?

I'm pretty sure.

Dude, seriously?

She's only on the syndicate's radar because I did something stupid.

If you know that, then own up to it!

- Please! I need your help! - Oh, here we go!

Whenever you're in over your head, you break that out!

That's no fair, man!

Bow all you want, it won't work!

You know better than anyone how dangerous it is to cross them!

Everything you just said is true.

But when I cracked my skull, she was the one who saved me.

I owe her my life.

So... where did you hit your head?

Huh? At a hotel-- Er, I forget.

You shameless bastard!

- Hey! Calm down, man! - Did it feel good?!

You kissed those lips, didn't you?!

You made out, didn't you?! Well, I want a secondhand kiss!

That's not secondhand with her, it's firsthand with me!

If you ever beat me to the punch again,

I'll tell Xiang Xiang about how we once had a tawdry affair, got it?

Y-You're not making any sense...

- So them coming after her... - Is true.

Damn it... So what do we do about it?

Passports?

Xiang Xiang has hers. But mine is--

My payment?

And I ain't talking chump change like 200K or 500K!

I want everything you have!

Everything... I have?

What's with the handshake?

It proves that the two of us are blood brothers.

The ferry?

Why do I have to go, too?

They were after both of you, remember?

You should get out of the country ASAP.

Wouldn't Taoyuan be the best place for that?

Trust me, the ferry's the better choice.

What were you two talking about just now?

How to get out of town, duh.

We're gonna go get his passport.

Sorry, but Jay isn't back to 100% yet.

Geez, you're overprotective! This bozo is super resilient!

God, you're so annoying...

- Okay, let's get to it. - Yeah.

- You're going? - We'll call once we have it.

They'll be waiting there, right?

Yeah, probably.

How much do you have on you?

About 20,000.

That'll be enough.

You're pulling the "Asian Hawk" again?

The girl's not with you?

Nah, she bolted.

You here to look for your passport?

Hey, there it is!

- It's inside there? - Ain't it cute?

Up! He went up!

Everybody come to this location! Bring your stun guns and pistols!

This is higher up than I thought...

Where's the pulley?

Did it fall?

Come on, are you kidding me?

Where is he?!

If there's no pulley,

I just gotta do it the real Asian Hawk way!

Yeah, there's a wire strung across...

Understood.

Hold it!

Crap!

No way!

Sir, he's probably-- No, we'll check.

What the hell? Foundation?

He's so freaking vain.

Okay, here we go...

Does anybody

even remember the Asian Hawk nowadays?

I liked Jackie's older movies way better, too.

Crap, I forgot to leave that.

Can I ask you something?

You figured it out, right? That I got my memory back.

How the hell did he survive a fall like that?

Well, it would've been our asses if he had died.

Yeah, boss? Understood.

- We're pulling out! - Coming!

It happened when I ate that stinky tofu.

Why didn't you say anything?

Sorry.

So in the end, you were a street thug just like your pal all along.

Yeah, but thanks to that,

we had a fateful encounter, right?

Admittedly, we have people hunting us now...

And about that! Why are they after me?!

They must have me mixed up with somebody else!

Black female. Large lips with a frog face.

Wears a ring on a chain.

Hey. That "frog face" bit is just an insult.

That's just what the boss said. But yeah, it's an insult.

So if they catch me, they're gonna...

Where you guys at?

How the hell do you know my number?

Are you at my place like you're supposed to be?

I'm with Jay.

Wha--?!

You forgot to leave the pulley on the roof, dumbass!

You're alive, so quit bitching.

So, what's our next move?

Like we planned, meet up with her.

I'll stash the thing in the usual place.

Thanks.

That reminds me, whenever I see your watch, I--

Huh? Hello? Hello?!

You heard him.

What're you gonna do?

I'll make my own way out.

What?

We'd be too conspicuous if we were together, right?

Don't leave me out of the decisions.

Here. Give this to him for me.

Why can't you give it to him yourself?

If he doesn't get paid right away, he gets all sulky.

Fine, whatever. I'll give it to him.

If I'm not there in time, go ahead without me.

We're supposed to kiss in a situation like this...

I feel much better now.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You keep anything else from me, I'll crush your balls, got it?

See you soon!

Who's calling me?

Taiwan-Japan Friendship Festival

How the hell did my life come to this?

You took the words out of my mouth.

For blood brothers, you two don't seem particularly close to me.

When you know each other long enough, things change.

Step right up!

What you see here has been specially selected from scratch-and-dent stock!

Is this really brand merch?

Hey, now! Don't even joke about that!

Look close! The brand is--

They have their logo etched into the front glass, right?

They're too small to spot with the naked eye.

See for yourself.

Whoa, it's there! Okay, I'll buy one!

Gather around! Feel free to examine them yourselves!

We were always in perfect sync, like we had telepathy.

We sold anything we could get our hands on.

What a haul!

How about it? You believe in my skills now?

Yeah.

For your first time, you didn't do too bad at all.

I just did what you said, that's all.

Someday, I'm gonna buy a desert island

and be waited on by a bevy of babes next to a pool filled with cash.

I wanna travel the world and see different countries.

We can make it happen together, brother!

Eventually, all you notice is their shortcomings.

Yeah. You grow up. Both of you.

Oh, I forgot all about this!

From Jay.

I don't need it.

You can keep it.

What the hell, man?

Taoyuan City, Taoyuan International Airport

Maybe I was right!

Maybe he went to the harbor by mistake after all!

Geez, quit freaking out.

Hey, I got a text!

"Go on without me," he says.

Hey, hang on. When did Jay buy a smart phone?

Huh?

When he hit his head, he forgot to bring it to the hospital with him.

He must have grabbed it when he was at his place.

Look, it's almost time for our flight!

Let's go.

I was worried sick when they said you'd fallen off of your apartment building.

Xiao Lin...!

Give the man a hand up.

When the deluxe department store Keikaya went under, Taipei, 10 years ago

among the things they tearfully parted with

were these brand-name watches!

Pick one up and take a look!

Take a look!

Hey, how much?

Four thousand kuai.

That's a bullish price.

Who gave you the okay to sell here?

Well, I--

Can't answer that, huh?

We're gonna have to ask you to get lost.

I-I'll report you to the cops.

You can't do jack without your buddy around!

Freaking parasite!

Damn it...

Didn't I tell you to stop working this corner?

C'mon.

Ow!

Aw, screw it!

You're dead!

Look...

Why don't we start up a more lucrative line of work together?

Hey.

Hey, Jay!

Hey!

The seatbelt light is now--

Don't you worry about him.

He's as tough as DiCaprio...

...was in The Revenant.

Stabbing that guy won't put him down.

That scar on his stomach... Was it you that stabbed him?

It wasn't me. We got into a fight with some punks once, and--

How do you know about that scar?

I don't need to draw you a picture, do I?

Guess not.

I sure can pick 'em.

Taipei

Goodness!

The whole thing was hilarious.

Taipei Station, north entrance coin lockers, #159!

Why are you crank calling me, Yang?

Wh-Who is Yang? Locker 159, north entrance, Jay will be there!

He didn't tell you about my offer of 200,000 to bring you in?

Hmph.

Hey, long hair looks good on you.

Why are you sticking your neck out for this woman?

Because she took care of me when I hit my head.

Let me rephrase my question.

Who, exactly, is that woman?

Does the old man know about any of this?

No, not yet.

Which means that Uncle Tsai is behind it.

Xiao Lin, aren't you tired of always doing

other people's dirty work for them?

Osaka, Kansai International Airport

Man, my body is as stiff as a board!

So, what's the plan?

What else can we do but wait here?

Huh? We might have goons on our trail any second!

We came in on the last flight of the day.

Oh. Right.

Why'd we come to Osaka instead of Tokyo?

No reason.

Maybe it's because a certain con man used Kyoto as bait.

Oh, get over it.

There's one other reason.

The thing is... I sometimes have this crazy dream.

What? Because of a dream?

- Good night. - Wait, you're sleeping here?

Taipei City, Zhongshan District

I'm sorry to ask you to make it for me.

That's all right. Seeing to a client's needs is part of my job.

By the way, where did you catch wind

of what's going down in Singapore?

I'm sorry, but that's privileged information.

It's legitimate, though, right?

It's been vetted.

I meant no offense. It's just that we've been played once before.

I heard something from Xiao Lin.

He says you're quite the junkie?

Stop by my place sometime, and I'll let you sample some top grade product.

Just let me know when you're coming.

Come in!

Look what you can do when you apply yourself!

I'm always taking care of business.

- And? Where's the girl? - Sir?

Didn't you tell me that the girl was with him?

I just thought bringing Jay in was the top priority.

Read between the lines. The girl was your top priority.

What? Why didn't you just say--

Oh, relax!

I didn't come all this way to go on a rampage.

I wanted to have a heart to heart with you, Uncle.

Would you give us the room?

Every goddamn time it's this!

A little bird tells me that the old man hasn't learned his lesson

and is going all-in on this venture of his.

- The one in Singapore? - I tried to put a stop to it.

It stinks to high heaven, to be honest.

The timing of it all is just too convenient.

That black woman is the con artist

that took the old man for a ride, right?

No, as far as I can tell, Xiang Xiang is just--

Use this to get her to tell you where she is.

I'll give you 24 hours.

And if I can't?

You don't need me to spell that out for you.

Look, you need to be careful.

If you get hung up on a woman, they'll only drag you down.

Feel free to use this room.

"Xiang Xiang," you said?

She has history with the old man?

You're always beating around the bush.

C'mon, fill me in.

If you want to keep doing things without anyone knowing,

you need to throw me a bone.

Well, it's about time for him to meet the African.

Aww!

Once the job is done, we'll all take in the sights together.

Unbelievable... How can you sleep like a log in the middle of an airport?

- Any word from him yet? - Not a peep.

Taiwan

Who is it?

It's probably them calling.

If I answer it, they might be able to trace our location.

They can do stuff like that?

Maybe.

But Boss Wang is the type to hold a grudge,

and I hear he's gunning for you.

You ever meet this Wang guy?

Never.

Oops.

I'm gonna go buy breakfast.

Get me a smoothie, okay?

Sure.

This ceiling

is cool...

What was the architect's name? Renzo Piano or something?

It's gone... I can't find it anywhere!

Where in the world could I have dropped it?

I know I had it when I got here...

This is such a disaster...

- Have you seen it? - Seen what?!

Have you seen a wallet on the floor anywhere?

No, maybe you should check with the police.

You're not going to ask me anything?

Gosh, your English is excellent.

I'm Kyoto born and raised and am currently a NEET!

Work hard, okay?

- I've been into futsal lately! - Must be nice.

- But I went and dropped my wallet... - You're pulling a petty scam.

What?! Just 3,000 yen will do!

- Look, I'm calling the cops-- - I thought you would help me!

What the hell, man?! Let go of me!

You shameless bastard!

Hey, pal!

What do you think you're doing to my girl?

Whoa, he and I aren't--

You're seriously fast, I'll give you that!

Anyone else would have missed it!

- Ow... - Are you okay?

Catch.

Hang on, this is--

You're not so useless after all!

My watch is gone!

The kid's more than a match for me, I'll give him that. Huh?

What?

He swiped it.

He swiped what?

My smartphone.

Er...

Osaka Pref., Kansai Airport Police Dept. Terminal Police Substation

So, what now?

We can't get in touch with Jay!

Not much we can do without it.

Since we're here and all, wanna see the sights?

Excuse me?!

Actually, that sounds fun.

The number you are trying to reach is either turned off, or...

What to do, what to do?

The grifters who got tight with the old man

pretending to be an investment fund were a mixed-race couple.

They were actually really likeable people.

The kind you're best friends with five seconds after meeting them.

And the old man took the fall for it?

The old boss took his left hand clean off.

I'm amazed he lived.

After that, he took out the old boss

and took his place, so it worked out okay for him in the end.

Or it did, anyway...

Singapore and now a black woman... Yeah, it's fishy.

That's why I want to nip this in the bud before that woman can do anything.

And on the off chance that Jay escapes?

If that happens, deal with it.

Kyoto, Rokuon-ji Temple

World Heritage Site Kinkaku Rokuon-ji Temple

Wow...

This says they used real gold leaf on this...

See? Didn't I say it'd be amazing?

It hasn't changed one bit.

Your mom and I used to go on dates here all the time.

What'cha looking at?

You're leaving already? Hey!

Kyoto, Kyoto University

- I feel like I've been here before... - Really?

Probably just déjà vu.

There's a famous guy named Oz in Japan.

Ozu, the film director?

Oz the con artist. They say he uses all kinds of magic tricks.

Expecto Patronum!

That kind?

No, not that kind. The sleight of hand kind.

Well, if we have 90 days in the country, we should--

You thieving bastard!

What?! You forgot it at a restaurant?!

I-It's not far away!

First things first, the cops.

Can't we settle this peacefully?

Don't think that groveling will get you any mercy from me!

You're one to talk.

What're you doing in Kyoto?

I'm a student here!

- So, what now? - Isn't it obvious?

We take this guy to the clink!

- No, I'm sure that this is the place! - Back away, damn it!

There a problem?

Did you order delivery?

I can't even remember what I ordered...

Can I interest you guys in a bite?

Thanks, but we're on duty.

Hey. Tip the man.

For your trouble.

- Thanks. - No problem.

- Sir? - Yeah?

Mind if we check with Uncle Tsai to make sure this is okay?

Look! I like my stinky tofu piping hot!

Piping hot!

Go get me some booze and a carton of smokes, and be quick about it!

And a meat bun for me.

Son of a...

Addis Ababa Ethiopian Cuisine

Addis Ababa... It's really in here?

Y-Yes...

Okay, where's my smartphone?

In that box there.

- Is the food here good? - Well, it's not bad...

Your watch is in here, too!

Whew, what a relief...

Who's out here? We're not open yet!

We were just leaving.

Hey!

Er...

Hello.

Diarra?

A friend of yours?

So that middle-aged guy brought Diarra here with him?

Yes, I also used to run a boarding house here.

You must have been worried sick.

That's for sure!

You up and left the country without a word, and then not a peep out of you!

Does that black guy who was here also live here?

Black guy?

I don't know who you mean.

The guy earlier with the tacky earrings.

Doesn't ring a bell.

A salad for starters.

I'll also whip up some of the yebeg wat that you used to love!

I don't really remember what that is, but thank you!

After that, tell me all about my friend here!

- Quit your yapping and come fetch this! - Yes, ma'am!

I'm told that you've found the woman.

Why didn't you see fit to inform me?

I'm having our people track her down now.

Apparently, Jay has already escaped from the hotel.

I thought I told you to keep a tight grip on his reins.

This is why your men laugh at you behind your back.

With all due respect, sir,

whose prodigal son is currently

wrapped around that woman's finger?

Given the circumstances, I have to say it,

but aren't you being set up for another con in Singapore?

To be frank, I don't want to have to clean up another mess like that.

Feel better now?

Good medicine tastes bitter,

and honest advice is painful to hear.

Shoot up and go out on a high.

- See to the mess in there. - Yes, sir!

How did it go?

It doesn't matter. How is the financing coming?

We just got word from them.

They'll be meeting tomorrow.

That's fast.

But that's fine. We're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Auntie, where's the restroom?

Past the shop curtain.

It happens when I eat too fast...

You break my toilet, you buy a new one!

They build 'em tough in Japan, it'll be fine!

- How much do you weigh? - You're serious?

I'm about to pee my pants here!

Four days.

Are you kidding? I need it right away!

These new IC chips make things difficult.

To tell you the truth, I got a call from Tsai this afternoon.

What did you do this time?

What difference does it make?

Well, I won't tell him that you were here.

I figured you might be hungry.

- You're too kind! - Beer okay?

Thanks.

Ganbei!

You're a sick bastard, sending me a care package inside stinky tofu like that.

It saved my ass, though.

Thank you!

It hardly seems like that's enough, does it?

People say thank you, and that's the end of it.

That doesn't make us square, not even close.

Here.

Open wide!

Aw, give me a break...

Eat this, and the slate is clean.

Have you gotten in touch with those two?

Yeah...

That reminds me, I hear that Uncle got himself taken out.

All that hard work, and then cast aside...

Still, I now know for sure that this woman of yours

is worth a hell of a lot of money.

That had stinky tofu in--

W-W-Wait! Don't do it! Hold it in!

Come on, is this really necessary?

What's this about Uncle being taken out?

I don't know the details.

You better watch your back, too.

When I busted out of the hotel, I might have mentioned that we were in cahoots.

You're such a dick.

Like you're one to talk.

You've always lurked in the shadows, enjoying the benefits without the risks.

Try to do something yourself for once.

I found these while you were napping.

Yours, too.

Shit...

Pick one.

The middle.

If anything happens here, call me.

Wait, what's this? This isn't mine! Hey!

He's already asleep?

We did a lot of walking today.

Thanks for the blankets.

You sure you don't want to sleep upstairs?

We've got a rendezvous at Kansai International in the morning.

We wouldn't want to wake you up.

Will you come back after that?

Hm... Depends on how things go.

Gosh, look how late it is! I need to hit the sack!

I'm turning out the lights, okay?

Thanks. Good night.

Taoyuan City, Taoyuan International Airport

Jay.

Your seat is over there.

It's been a long time,

Jay.

Why'd you kill Uncle Tsai? Didn't the syndicate need him?

Misappropriation of drugs.

If you had any idea of the amounts involved, you would have done the same.

When two people are together long enough,

you both start to see only the parts that you can make use of.

Do you know that woman's real name?

No.

It's Dorothy. Of course, there's no telling if even that is her real name.

Those people are parasites that use sweet talk to get their hooks into you.

What do you plan to do with her?

I just want to ask her about that crew.

What crew?

The blonde asshole and his band of merry men.

Look, let's turn back.

He's Wang's adopted son, for crying out loud!

Says the guy who sold out Jay.

This and that are two different things!

And give a girl a heads-up first if you're gonna pull a heel turn! It's hard to keep up!

Watch it, I'll sell your ass out...

Osaka, Kansai International Airport

If I can bring her by nightfall, will you really--

That's entirely up to you.

And find somewhere to take a bath.

Give me your passport.

Keep this on you.

A GPS? Seriously? What is this, Cheaters?

Some fresh clothes, sir.

Any word from the Kobe contingent?

They say they'll meet you in the hotel.

Hey! Here he comes!

- Shouldn't we hide? - Can't you apologize and be done with it?

Not a chance!

Hey, you got your daddy to buy some new threads for you, huh?

I'm totally jealous!

- Aiya! - How could you screw me over like that?

Look who's talking. You act like her friend, but plan to turn her over to Wang--

Say that again, I dare you!

If you're pissed, that means I'm right.

That's enough!

Why are we going all the way back to Kyoto?

To lose our tail, right?

That's part of it, but I also want to thank someone properly.

Thank who?

Yesterday, we met a nice lady who knew the old me.

A nice lady?

She runs an African restaurant.

Yeah,

but running into an old acquaintance right after we caught that pickpocket?

What are the odds?

Yeah, I can't believe that backpacker totally gave us the slip!

- I'd like to meet her. - Huh?

What for?

That stun gun of yours hurt like hell!

Everybody's saying that proves you're the one who killed Uncle Tsai!

This is all Jay's fault...

The way I hear it, they caught him on a flight bound for Japan.

One last thing before you kill me... Could I have something to drink?

Beer will have to do, I guess.

The signal cut out as it was heading towards Kyoto.

I'm not surprised.

We'll deal with it.

- Don't overdo it. - Understood, sir.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Narita, the wakagashira.

The old man is out, so I'll be handling negotiations.

How is Tani-kumicho doing these days?

He's at another party for politicians, hobnobbing and buying favors!

Today's file, sir.

Well, show me, dammit!

Let's see... An investment in Singapore?

If we can get right down to brass tacks, I--

Mr. Wang,

your outfit's strong point is drugs!

Oh. Speaking of which, Mr. Tsai won't be joining us?

He's called the Drug Sommelier. My crew respects the hell out of him.

I wasn't aware.

You'll never find another like him, he's one in a million.

To get back on topic, I take it that you might be amenable

if the drugs and Singapore investment were a straight barter transaction?

You're a sharp customer, all right!

That makes things so much easier!

If that's the case, I really should have

brought him along for this meet.

We're back!

- You homestayed here? - Yeah.

Welcome back!

And this handsome fella is Mr. Jay?

Nice to meet you.

You'd never guess it, but he's a criminal underworld wakagashira!

- Hush! - It's the truth, ain't it?

Have you run this place long?

All told, I guess it's been about fifteen years.

Do you have any photos or anything from back then?

Photos?

I don't have any pictures, but I have

a box of stuff in here that you left with me.

Sort through it and pull out the stuff you want to keep.

I have to go and do tonight's prep.

If you need anything, just holler!

Will do!

Let's have a look...

What the heck is this?

Looks like a cosplay outfit.

Are you sure you didn't work at a maid cafe or something?

Nah, that's definitely not her cup size...

Something's fishy.

I may as well chuck the whole thing in the trash.

If you've got it here, why not use it as a disguise?

I'd stand out even more if I was wearing this.

Yeah, but nobody would be looking at your face.

Anyway, let's stay put here until nightfall.

Besides, we stick out like a sore thumb no matter what.

- Where's the bathroom? - Right across the hall.

That's a strange cologne...

Let me smell it.

Hang on, that's--

Hm?

- We're not open yet. - Sorry, Ma'am.

We need to ask you some questions.

Whoa, you look like a whole different person!

Really?

Okay, everybody stay right where you are!

We're the police!

Hey, wasn't there supposed to be three of them?

Where's the other one?

Hey, are all Japanese police this rude?

- You got a warrant, buddy? - Just do as you're told!

- Watch it! - Hey!

Stay out of this!

- I'll bust your ass for obstruction! - Ow!

- Yang! - Quit resisting!

- We haven't done anything wrong! - Just come with us, damn it!

Xiang Xiang...

Look at what you two did.

Hey, what's going on here?

You're just making things more complicated, so get lost!

Is roughing up cops a smart move?

- The syndicate sent them after us. - Huh?!

How the hell did they know about this place?!

I'll explain later, just come on!

Hey!

Catch up later!

Wait for me, damn it!

Dude, are you kidding me?

Ow... That wasn't how this was supposed to go down!

Pee-yew! He didn't flush!

Where are they?

They're making a break for it along the rooftops!

What about the GPS?!

It's still turned off.

If he'd just played along like he was supposed to...

Hm? Excuse me for a second.

What?

Boss.

Um, there's been a hitch.

- Where's Jay? - I lost sight of him.

Find him by tonight.

He's not answering. Well, he'll probably turn up soon enough.

This thing

is telling them exactly where we are.

Why didn't you chuck it the first chance you had?

- The blonde asshole. - Who's that?

The old man wants to ask you where he can find him.

Does Wang know about my whole amnesia deal?

I keep telling him that, but there's no way to prove it.

So I have to stay on the run forever? Or are you gonna man up and stop your father?

Come on, be reasonable...

Be honest.

Who means more to you? Me or Wang?

- You both do. - Huh?!

You're gonna hang me out to dry after all this?

I...

I can't betray my old man.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah.

What can I say, I'm stunned. I'm told that Mr. Tsai is dead.

And I just lost a good man.

The Drug Sommelier dying of an overdose? Don't make me laugh.

You didn't off him, did'ja?

My apologies, your breath--

Oh, and about the investment. Our accountant says it stinks to high heaven.

So I'm gonna to have to give your proposal a hard "no."

If I might interrupt?

The real reason we're here

is to apprehend the traitor who killed Mr. Tsai.

Oh?

We know where he's hiding, so it's only a matter of time before he's caught.

- But... - But?

Unfortunately, we don't know the area,

so perhaps we could borrow a suitable spot to dispose of him?

I took a rude tone with you earlier.

Please forgive me.

Ah, I see. I think we can see our way clear to helping you out with that.

Thank you.

I apologize for speaking out of turn.

Anyway, nobody around here is gonna take you up on that investment deal.

It took you long enough.

The cops a certain someone called in took forever to clear out.

- I bought you something. - That can wait. Where is she?

She stormed off in a huff.

Stormed off where?

When I said I couldn't betray my old man, she lost it and walked out.

You picked now to have a lover's spat?

I have your backpack, so give me a call.

Everything you have.

We had a deal, right? You're gonna pay up.

Hah. "I owe her from when I hit my head," my ass.

- You're gonna throw her to the wolves. - I'm sorry! I'm broke!

Huh?

I lent it all to my old man.

He said if the investment worked out, he'd pay me back!

Okay? For now, I want you two to get away.

I know it's not much...

You and me, we're done.

Where's Cynthia?

She is otherwise engaged, so I'll be filling in. I'm Igarashi.

When I have confirmation of the funds transfer,

our contract will be concluded.

Just for my edification, what was behind your decision to invest?

Risk management, I suppose.

Ah, I see. Very well, I have confirmation.

Our contract is now concluded.

I will go see to the funds' disbursement in Singapore.

It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

- Likewise. - Well, if you will excuse me.

We've secured a location for tonight.

Will Jay really bring her?

I have a plan in place.

City in Kobe

Just to be safe.

Where's the woman?

No idea.

I see.

Dad, do me one last favor.

Let Xiang Xiang go.

As I said, making use of the other.

Stop what you're doing!

You two?! What are--

- Jay! What was that for?!

- Boss. Give me the gun.

- Calm down!

I'll handle the woman.

Once you have the information, eliminate her.

Put these on her. Do as you're told if you know what's good for you.

Dorothy. What happens next depends on your answers.

First, tell us the name of the blonde asshole you used to crew with.

Do you know?

- Do you mean Trump? - I mean the French con artist!

Hang on, is he talking about Laurent Thierry?

It was Laurent Thierry!

- Boss? - Porky! Tell me what you know!

I-I'll tell you everything! So just don't kill me!

You're trying to save your own hide?

I don't want to die here, do you?!

Start talking!

His favorite cologne is Henry Jacques!

He sleeps in the buff!

What else?!

Oh, and speaking of sleeping, his favorite position is spooning!

"A woman who speaks ill of others bothers me the most."

- What the hell is going on?! - Lin?!

Did you join a K-pop group or something?!

Jay called, and I came, all right?!

Grab her legs!

Jay!

Why did you shoot her?

Because there was a good reason to.

Are you serious?

Oh, that's right... You two were an item, weren't you?

You've changed.

Now! Shoot!

She'll hit you, too!

She's a crack shot!

The keys?

Do we help?

You wanna be strangled, too?

I guess not.

My...

My son...

Hello?

Everything went off without a hitch.

Shall I put him on?

It's from the boss.

It's been ages, Mr. Wang!

Who is this?

You seem to have taken a shine to our Singapore investment opportunity!

Even my accountant, Igarashi,

praised your decision-making acumen, Mr. Wang.

Huh?

A word of advice, though...

One really must keep a tight grip on the reins of one's employees.

You!

And so, I thank you for your most generous payment!

Bingyan!

Bye, now! It's been a pleasure!

H-Hey!

Come back here!

He only had the one hand left. He shouldn't have done anything to risk it.

Well, it's none of my business!

What the--?

Looks like the old man got by those yakuza.

Karmic justice, I guess...

That lady really is a jinx, isn't she?

Don't talk like that.

Thanks to her, you don't need to live in hiding now, right?

That reminds me,

you really need to rethink how you use that locker.

- Later. - Thanks for the save!

Whatever!

I'm still waiting to hear some.

- Huh? - Some gratitude.

Uh, thank you?

Feh.

Finally awake, huh?

How can I be perfectly fine after being shot?!

Must be good luck from all that clean living you do!

- Hello? Yeah. - You don't look very happy.

I'm sorry for everything!

Look back on your past by yourself.

What you going to do now though?

Well, I don't feel like going back to the syndicate...

If you're up for it, how about taking a trip around the world together?

Yeah, I figured.

Forget I said anything.

It wasn't all bad.

If you're gonna travel around the world, I could come along if you want.

Look, Ayi...

Doesn't this seem too neat and tidy to you?

I mean, she's alive,

and the old man won't be coming after her.

And how did you know about the warehouse?

Okay, I'll come clean.

I had an accomplice inside the syndicate.

What?! Who?

Sorry, pal! That's privileged information!

Well, for better or worse, the whole thing played out

the way the blonde asshole planned it.

Hey, hang on. Was Xiang Xiang--

Don't worry. She doesn't know a thing.

You've changed, you know that?

You better believe it!

I gotta finally make that desert island dream of mine come true!

Now that's more like it.

Right! Let's go grab a bite!

I just came into some money, so it's my treat.

Crap. My passport.

Several days later Kansai International Airport

MOM: About to leave. ME: Let me know when you land in Japan. MOM: Will do.

ME: Here yet?

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Terminal 2, am I in the right place?
