The clock has stopped.

Akiko, there is chicken in the refrigerator.

We don't want to take advantage of you.

I will be home around 10:30 PM.

Alright.

We will not be there by that time.

Set it to the right time. Yes.

I'm leaving.

Your sister doesn't seem to like me.

Why do you say that?

I can see it in her eyes.

You're exaggerating.

She's the only person who understands our relationship.

She went to the movies so that we could be alone.

Ikuya...

Akiko...

Ikuya...

I love you.

But. you know,

I'm afraid that someday God will punish us.

Akiko...

Ikuya...

I love you.

I love you.

Oh, it's you.

- Aklko Is not home yet. - Really?

She spends her evenings in the movie theatres.

Did you eat dinner?

No.

This is for you.

Thanks. I'm starving.

Such a pig!

It's alright.

- Want a beer? - You know me well.

Thanks.

Do you want a drink?

Yes, with pleasure.

Shoko, you will be the perfect wife.

- Next tlme bring your husband. - I don't have anyone.

That's too bad!

You chugged it.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I drank it too quickly.

Don't tell my sister that I came over.

I just came to see if you were alright.

So, please don't tell her.

Okay?

Shokol

- We wlll take care of your friends. - But I don't have any.

Congratulations.

The girls in Hong Kong are wild. Be careful.

Thank you for the advice.

You're lucky to be transferred to a foreign country.

Iwill only be an assistant.

- It M“ be qulet. - It's true.

It's time. I have to leave.

- Have a good stay. - Thanks.

- I'm Ieavlng. - Do you best.

- Take care of yourself. - Only drink bottled water.

Don't forget to write us.

Akiko?

I will never forget you.

But, I can't stand being in a relationship anymore.

I could never return your feelings. You deserve better.

God will surely punish me.

What's waiting for me,

is most probably terrible.

However,

I prefer that than our superficial life.

I hope you forgive my selfish decision.

I don't know anything.

Really?

Tell me everything you know.

I don't know anything, for real.

Shoko...

Forget my sister. Forget herl

So, you knew.

Tell me.

She went to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong?

With Ikuya Morohashi.

Ikuya Morohashi?

But, he's my colleague!

Yesterday, he was transferred.

They took the same flight.

Ikuya and Akiko?

- I don't belleve that! - Forget herl

Forget your wife!

In order to find my wife

I went all the way to Hong Kong.

The director was mad.

Morohashl has dlsappeared with his compensation money.

Young people these days can't think clearly.

Have a drink.

Don't think too much about it.

If he is nowhere to be seen in Hong Kong,

it's maybe because he left.

But you should look for hlm in tougher neighborhoods,

such as Kowloon.

For example, the Mylngyan neighborhood is ran by the mafia.

Myingyan?

Thanks for helping me.

- Thank you. - I understand Japanese.

Thanks.

Are you looking for someone?

My wife.

And him?

Sometlmes Japanese people end up in this kind of place.

But I would be surprised If your wife was one of them.

Why do you want to find her?

If she left you, forget her.

Do you still love her?

Me?

It doesn't matter.

I only want to know

why she left me for another man.

I need to know.

Why did she runaway?

During these five years of marriage,

she never loved me?

No.

No.

You're tickling me.

Stop.

You're not listening?

No...

We got along so well.

I thought I was satisfying her.

So, why?

What's the matter with you? Akikol Go away.

I searched all over the city,

I'm tired of running around.

The search was frultless slnce there was no trace of Akiko.

Besides, I used all my paid leaves.

Yesterday, Shoko called you.

Shoko?

That's your sister-in-Iaw, isn't it?

Because you were not at the hotel, she left a message.

What did she want?

She wants you to go back to Japan.

She insisted very much.

WIthout wantlng to Interfere In your Ilfe, I think you should listen to her.

Of course, you can ask for another day off, but...

You've already searched all over Hong Kong.

That's true, but...

Forget your wlfe. You wlll meet someone else sooner or later.

I know how you feel. She was so pretty...

But women are mysterious creatures.

Please buy my soap bubbles.

If it's not too much trouble.

It's good, right?

Where did you get this?

Look at this photo.

Him, a Japanese.

Was he with this woman?

Yes, she is beautiful.

Where?

Yesterday.

Yesterday?

Buy my soap bubbles.

They are still in Hong Kong.

Here, somewhere.

I found your wife.

That's true?

- You're joking. - I'm serious.

She looks exactly the same as in your picture.

So, did you see her?

Yes, with my own eyes. I know where she is.

She was with him?

For now, just follow me.

But what is she doing in this kind of place?

Welcome. Please come in.

But...

Who are you?

It's her look-alike, right?

I was surprised when I first saw her.

Who is she?

Her name Is Ten Mul. She's a prostitute on this boat.

I'll leave you.

Yabuki...

That will take things off your head.

I love Japanese men because they are sweet.

Akiko...

So, did you like her?

She says you should pay for it.

Do not worry.

- Why are you helpan me? - To kill time.

And, I like you.

But I can't give you anything in return.

And that bothers you?

80, buy the girl if you want. But she's expensive.

- How much? - 3.000 dollars.

- 3.000? - You see?

Don't make that look.

I got you an apartment.

An aparhnent?

If you stay at the hotel, you'll he broke.

And because you are so determine to find your wife,

you need a comfortable place to shy.

I know that you want to see her again.

Is she taking drugs?

I guess so.

Stop.

Stop.

That's enough.

Do you hear me?

- Take It.

Try it once. It's nothing at all.

Give it to him!

So?

Do you feel good?

Akikol

Akikol

She wants you to get her drugs.

You naughty boy. In fact, you're the one who wants it.

It works for me if you refuse.

I don't want to end up as a human wreck.

Do you still have money?

Enough to go back to Japan.

You don't want to go back?

- Why are you glvlng me thls? - For your safety.

Hong Kong is dangerous.

Try this one.

We proceed as planned?

Do you want me to take a photo for you?

- Are you by yourself) - No, with a friend.

She isn't here?

She went to do some shopping.

l see.

In fact, I have a friend that wants to say hi.

He's half Japanese and half Chinese.

But he always lived in Hong Kong.

He doesn't speak Japanese.

You're coming?

He's suggesting you to have a touristic tour by car.

But...

Toshie, it took you awhile!

Excuse me.

It's an Osaka accent.

That's right.

Her mother lives in Osaka. Right?

Osaka, Abeno.

In Abeno?

Really?

I will send you the photos from Japan.

Okay?

We had fun.

- Let's go get a late snack. - Why not?

But, where are we?

Don't pretend that you don't know.

Lock it up.

Control yourselfl

- Take off your clothes. - Never!

Yabukil

Please help me!

Yabukil

It was either you or her, I saved your life.

Anyways, she can't go back to Japan anymore.

It's better for her to die than turning into a whore.

A whore?

Yabuki, are you a pimp?

Iwanted a partner

like you.

I killed someone to save you.

Now, we are brothers.

Don't you agree?

My brother-in-Iaw is still your employee.

And you didn't do anything to find him?

Don't be mistaken.

I'm trying to find his whereabouts.

I'm talking about the responsibility of your company

If you use more resources, you will find him.

Maybe you're ignoring him, but...

your brother-In-Iaw came to Hong Kong for personal reasons.

His disappearance doesn't concern this company.

But you are his friend! I don't understand.

You should make him go back to Japan by force.

I'm sorry.

He wanted to go back once, and we reserved him a ticket.

But he seems to love his wife more than anything.

Let's not talk about my sister.

I won't leave here without him.

Good morning miss.

- Are you Japanese? - Yes.

You're travelling?

I miss Japan.

It makes me sad that there's very few Japanese people here.

It has been six years since I was transferred here.

- Do you know Klmpel hotel? - Kimpei?

- In Kowloon'l - Yes.

I will take you there.

All I need is the address.

I'm Going In the same direction. It doesn't bother me.

It's here.

No, it's not true.

Enter!

Don't touch me!

No...

Gun or dick? You choose.

I will let you choose.

This one is great. Want to try it?

What's wrong with you?

Stop taking drugs. You might end up dead.

Who's fault is it?

Bastard!

My brother-in-Iaw.

My brother-in-Iaw...

Shoko...

Is that really you?

You must hate me.

Why didn't you return to Japan?

You must go back!

Listen, Shoko.

I can't go back to my old life anymore.

Is it because of that woman or that man?

I don't know.

It's Akiko...

who keeps me here.

But she's dead.

She's dead.

She committed suicide with Morohashi.

What?

I received her letter,

three days ago.

I wanted to show It to you so that you can forget about her.

Shoko,

once you recelve thls letter, come quickly to Hong Kong.

You will go to this Hotel

and you will ask for us.

The people at the Hotel will tell you about us.

Morohashi and I

don't have any more reasons to flop

our double suicide.

I'm leaving this world without regrets.

When you'll arrive here,

you'll find our possessions

in the mortuary chamber at the Hospital.

Or maybe we will be already incinerated.

That's my last wish.

I want our ashes

to be placed in the same urn.

Show me the man's corpse.

The man?

There was no man.

It was only her.

What?

The man escaped from the hotel.

There was only the corpse of the woman.

So, Morohashi is alive?

You should eat something.

Morohashi is a scum!

Running away with his friend's wife,

and leaving her when she committed suicide...

If I were you, Iwould kill him.

- And? - There isn't any news about him.

l see.

He will show up once he runs out of money.

Why do you want to see him so badly?

Let's return with Shoko's ashes.

No, I have to see him now.

Why do you insist so much?

Morohashil

I finally found him.

He works as a kitchen assistant in a hotel.

He looked suspicious so I followed him.

Alrigh', do what you want with him.

Morohashi.

Tell me why

you didn't die with her.

Answer me.

Why?

She was crazy about me and wanted to follow me.

She became obsessed.

I never said that I wanted to commit suicide.

You could of stopped it.

I was afraid.

She wouldn't let me breathe.

I never thought it would end up like this.

I'm the victim, really!

You?

How can you say something like this?

It's all your fault.

What?

You activated her sex drive.

She couldn't control her desires anymore.

It's your fault!

Shut up!

Kill him!

Don't be afraid.

Bastard!

What are you waltlng for? Shoot!

Avenge your wife, if you are a man.

Shoot.

What are you waiting for?

C'mon, shoot!

No, don't do it!

No, stop.

Kill him.

Stop!

Kill him!

Kill him!

- No! - Gol

You're a monster.

You're a monster.

But you've turned into a killerjust like me.

I have to go now.

You're never coming back to Japan?

I'll go to Macao.

I must always go into hiding.

Take care of yourself!
