Original subtitles

I'm bored to death.

I need excitement.

Call a girl.

No way.

Let's hang out at my house.

That's Masaru's mom.

Damn you, give back my money!

You owe us.

Give it back!

I could double or triple it!

You come pay us next time.

That's Ushijima the loan shark.

Who?

I've heard rumors about him.

Never mess with him.

Your birthday's coming up.

I've got 2 million.

That only pays for a champagne tower.

What? How much more is enough?

A client's taking me to Guam for 3 days.

So feed my dog. Oh, and clean my place.

OK, OK.

Naoki, that booth over there is gorgeous.

I want to sit there.

No way.

That's where the No. 1 "host" sits.

That's Taisei-san, 20 months in a row.

Maybe I'll choose him from now on.

What?

Would you sleep with me, Taisei?

Huh?

If you're willing to have sex with me,

I'll order a Richard Hennessy.

You think I'd be tempted?

Shouldn't you offer to make me No. 1?

Hey! How much longer do I have to wait?

When is Taisei coming over to my table?

Sorry.

He'll be right here.

You two are useless!

Kneel down to apologize!

We're very sorry.

We're sorry.

Do you know how much I spend here a month?

Excuse me.

I'm one of the best customers!

Take my photo and put it outside!

Hey, Hideko.

Stop drinking like a fool at my table.

Your attitude affects my evaluation.

I'm sorry, Taisei.

But I was just so lonely.

I'm glad you understand.

Wait a sec, OK?

So, where were we?

I'm sorry about what I said, Taisei.

Do you love me?

Of course I do.

I'll order a Richard.

We got an order for a Richard!

Richard! Thank you!

"National Ranking High Score: AYAKA"

Hey, Naoki. Let's go out for dinner sometime.

Sure, let's go. Come again.

OK. Bye.

See you. OK, bye-bye!

Naoki.

Asuna disappeared.

Remember our promise?

"Loan Agreement"

"Loan Agreement" Lend her a million, will you?

Lend her a million, will you?

I want to celebrate Naoki's birthday.

What's your job?

A call girl.

If you're celebrating at the club,

do it on credit.

I've already got 4 million yen's worth of bills.

I didn't even know I racked up so much.

Naoki introduced me to my current job,

so I could pay it back.

He's so sweet.

Our interest is 50% every 10 days.

That's crazy.

But I'll manage one way or another.

If you agree to co-sign, OK.

Your shared duty, if you will.

Our shared duty?

That sounds so romantic!

A million plus 800k interest for 14 days,

and a million as a late fee.

2.8 million. Pay up.

I can't pay so much now!

Pay now.

I'll pay at the end of the month.

End of the story.

End of the story.

I make tens of thousands with every word I speak.

Get lost.

I got rid of the small-fry, Minako.

What will you have?

I'm thirsty. A Dom Pérignon Gold.

We got an order for a Gold!

Hey, you!

Stop!

Stop! Hey, I told you to stop!

What?

You can't just come in!

Says who? You promised, so pay up.

You're bothering our customers.

Come with us if you can't pay.

Stand up.

Stop it! You can't do this!

Call the cops!

Wait. How much do you need?

2.8 million.

Take the money and get lost.

This isn't the kind of place for lowlife like you.

By the way, Naoki, what's it for?

A chick ordered a bottle for my birthday and bailed.

They forced the debt on me.

What a total disaster!

What was that for?

Your job is to make women dream.

"What a total disaster!" Shape up!

I quit.

After all, your clients bail on you.

Women would do anything...

to finance a real man.

You can't make me dream anymore.

Minako, I'll work hard to become the No. 1 host!

Do what you want.

I've changed my mind.

Minako!

Whatever.

Take him.

Let's go. Come on.

Somebody!

Somebody help me! Please! Help me!

Yukimi! Help me!

Stand up!

Minako, please reconsider!

Come on!

Minako!

Call the cops!

I've got many other clients!

There's another chick who adores me and is rich!

Let go!

Help!

Don't look.

She's hot. I'd do her.

You can't. We're poor.

If only we had money.

Hey, I've always wanted that motorcycle.

Cool!

This is to die for!

This is awesome!

Since Naoki the host can't pay back his loan...

Time for the kawaii word game.

Piglets.

Kawaii.

Salmon roe.

Kawaii.

Elk baby.

Kawaii.

Yellow barrette.

Kawaii.

What comes next, "e" or "t"?

The end.

"T" comes next you nitwit.

"Tea kettle"?

Too late.

It's not kawaii.

And you ended the game.

Triple penalty!

Three swigs of hot sauce!

Here.

USHIJIMA THE LOAN SHARK PART 2

You bastards!

I'm Koji Aizawa of Aizawa Rengo.

What did you do to my ride?

We don't know. It wasn't us.

I don't like that look in your eyes.

Next is your head.

I told you we don't know!

Here you go.

Enjoy your meal.

I begged my relatives...

and scraped up this much.

Ezaki.

Yes.

Hey!

Now go away.

Don't follow him around anymore!

Hey, calm down.

Sure. OK, Mrs. Shimomura. Go home.

Be careful with that.

"Please lend me 50k again tomorrow."

"My wife's got rich relatives so I'm still OK!"

"I need to fix a toothache."

That guy just now wants 50k...

to fix a toothache.

Horse betting again. He never learns.

Excuse me.

Here's your 5-yen coin.

5 yen? Forget 5 yen, I'm in a hurry.

Wait, please.

5 yen is valuable money, too. Here.

Thank you very much.

You can't pay the bills.

Don't be such a nuisance every time.

It's on purpose, right?

We confirmed the deposit...

but you're always a few days late.

Who are you?

Stop! What is this?

Hey, whoa there, kids.

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?

Ushijima-san.

Loan him 2 million, will you?

What?

Eyewitnesses told me he stole my ride and totaled it.

So I beat him up last night. Then...

I told you we don't know!

You're an idiot.

Good thing I've got gut fat.

900k for the modified motorcycle,

plus 1.1 million for stabbing me.

But he's unemployed, underage and from a poor family.

Can't even take out a loan.

So you loan him 2 million, OK?

I'll have to bury him alive otherwise.

No, I won't. He's not worth 2 million.

Huh?

I will if you agree to co-sign.

What?

If not, forget it. Go bury him alive.

I'll do 2 million's worth of unpaid work.

I'll do 2 million's worth of unpaid work.

I'll do 2 million's worth of unpaid work.

It was you against how many?

15 of them surrounded the 3 of us.

3 against 15 and you stabbed him?

Yes.

I'm impressed.

We'll test to see if you're useful.

Yes! Thank you!

Whatever.

So you're buying him for 2 million?

1,000 yen is enough, isn't it, Aizawa?

Huh?

You have no proof that he stole your ride.

So no 900k.

What?

And no compensation for that.

It's just a scratch.

He's in worse shape than you.

That 1,000 yen is for your bandage, OK?

Ushijima-san.

This isn't a joke!

I'm not joking.

All right.

I'll be back.

You're backing down?

They think you're too hung up on money.

Shut up!

I'm Masaru Kaga. Nice to meet you.

Start out as an apprentice.

Masaru.

Yes.

Loaning money is easy but collecting is hard.

Lend money like it's your own.

I'll do my best.

I'm impressed. Super high school girl?

I don't go to high school.

Are you "AYAKA"?

Yeah.

Too much free time?

I've never been No. 1...

so even a game score is nice.

No. 1, huh?

Have you ever been No. 1?

No. But I'm aiming to become No. 1.

You're a host, right?

I'll become the No. 1 host.

I have to be at the meeting.

"Club AIR - Rei Kanzaki"

Result is everything. "Club AIR - Rei Kanzaki"

Result is everything.

Many newcomers quit within 3 months.

It's because if you can't get a client by then,

you won't get paid.

More and more young people want to live securely,

but fuck that!

Hey.

You've been here almost 3 months.

Nobody chooses you.

Why did you become hosts?

I wanted to be popular with women.

You idiot. A host is someone who's already popular.

If you can't be chosen, just quit.

Actually, someone will choose me today.

Huh?

Welcome.

Welcome.

Rei.

He wet his bed until the 8th grade.

Don't, Mom.

Have some more.

Thanks.

Please drink lots today.

His first client is his own mother.

How pathetic is that?

Yeah.

You should learn from him.

Why can't you pay the interest?

You learned your lesson, right?

Are you mocking us?

"Aye-aye, aye-aye."

What the...

You some kind of monkey?

OK, let's get some lunch.

Yes.

Great. How about curry?

Masaru, you like curry?

Yes!

Ushijima. I heard you let loose at a host club in our territory.

I have a business to run.

Oh well.

Kumakura-san of Nyako-kai said to come.

You heard him, Ushijima!

Who was that?

How about the all-you-can-eat curry?

I feel like Chinese food.

I used it up on pachinko.

I'll pay interest next week.

This, huh?

Yeah, this.

Murai.

Now you can't play anymore, can you?

Akane Saihara's Rhino Loan is protected by Nyako-kai.

Don't clash with her, Ushijima.

Saihara's sucking up to Kumakura, the gang's accountant.

She's giving him a birthday gift so he'll favor her.

Oh.

So she's in a hurry to make money.

Try not to irritate her.

Inui, what flavor is that?

Salted beef tongue.

Know why these don't have prizes now?

You can buy them anywhere now.

So nobody claims the prize.

Who cares?

Anyway, about Saihara.

She started some weird business...

She started some weird business...

Kumakura forced it on her.

Kumakura forced it on her.

Hey! Lunchtime when you're done!

There's nothing around here,

so we're supplying lunch.

It's special cold curry.

Dig a hole in the middle of the rice to make a wall.

Then the curry won't spill out.

It's cold. The rice is hard.

The curry and rice aren't even nuked.

Just plain.

The best by date has been expired for two years.

Good work.

3,000 yen?

We were promised 10,000 yen.

Shut up, you shit!

Shut up, you shit!

Shut up, you shit! Listen. Yes, it's 10,000 per day.

Listen. Yes, it's 10,000 per day.

Withholding and reconstruction taxes, 1,021 yen.

The carfare to bring you here and back, 2,000 yen.

Carfare?

Lunch is 1,000 yen.

For expired cold curry?

Plus the rental fee for your outfits total 6,750 yen.

Plus the rental fee for your outfits total 6,750 yen.

Subtract that from 10,000 and you get 3,250 yen.

Subtract that from 10,000 and you get 3,250 yen.

Subtract that from 10,000 and you get 3,250 yen.

You're all losers that nobody else will hire.

Be glad you have a job.

Good work, Ms. Fujieda.

I'll be going, then.

I'm beat.

I want something salty.

Something salty to eat.

I'm no stalker.

Just going the same way.

You think you're so cute, huh?

You're way too self-conscious.

I'm home.

Nobody we know saw you, did they?

I've told everyone that you go to school.

I'm home.

You were fired, so find another job.

I used to make 7 million yen a year.

I can't settle for less.

My sister, the junior high graduate part-timer.

Out of my way.

"Fujieda"...

"Saika"?

That's her.

I can tell.

I just know your face, tits, and thighs...

must be named "Saika".

I just know your face, tits, and thighs...

700 yen.

There she is.

"I love playing games the most."

"Because I don't have to think."

She tweets trivial crap.

"A group of girls passed me by."

"Coming at me like they can't see me."

"Am I just air?"

"I'm Air Woman, off to do her best."

Saika.

You and I are similar.

I'll always watch over you.

We got a new list of multiple debtors.

Don't put down the phone.

Yes.

Look at him.

Pus came out of his ear once from making calls.

This is Cow Cow Finance.

Do you need financing?

These people are always in debt,

so they'll take any offer.

I understand.

Someone got there first.

OK, this one next.

Hello? This is... Hello? What the hell?

No more carryovers.

OK. Thanks.

Masaru, come here.

Yes.

What will you do with so many?

Sell them.

Sell them?

Untraceable accounts in debtors' names.

Lots of bad guys want such things.

Go deliver them.

Yes.

Thanks. Give my regards to Ushijima-san.

Bye.

This is the...

I wonder what it's like?

Whoa. Welcome.

Yes?

Um, is there a guy named Rei here?

Let's drink! Drink, drink the champagne!

Drink it up, Ayaka.

Drink it up, Rei.

Go, go, go!

Let's all drink it up!

Go, go, go!

Bravo! There's a man! Hooray! Go, go, go!

Bravo! There's a man! Hooray!

Let's show our gratitude to the princess...

who gave us the lovely champagne.

One, two, thank you so much! Hooray!

Thank you!

Everyone drinks it so it just vanishes.

Ayaka. Thanks so much for coming.

50,000 yen for one bottle.

That's so expensive.

Ayaka, here.

Oh, that's cute!

A cork queen. When I become No. 1,

A cork queen. When I become No. 1,

I'll let you sit on the throne.

What?

He's the king now,

but my dream is to sit there with you someday.

but my dream is to sit there with you someday.

I should have chosen you from the beginning.

I should have chosen you from the beginning.

I should have chosen you from the beginning.

I should have chosen you from the beginning.

Hey Akemi.

The bottle's empty.

Ayaka. What's your dream?

I don't have a dream.

Sure you do.

I wanted to be a hair stylist before.

A hair stylist is good.

But I can't.

I can't afford beauty school and the tools.

Mom used to run a hair salon.

It went under, so use her tools.

No thanks. I can't do it.

Don't give up.

Let's chase our dreams together.

Thanks, Rei.

I'll order another champagne.

I've just decided.

Your dream is my dream.

My dream is to help yours come true.

Don't. You ordered the first bottle on credit.

Don't waste money.

Hey. Nice toy you made,

but you didn't let a client order a second bottle.

Women come here wanting to spend money.

They'll just end up spending it on another host.

I'm home.

Mom, you still have your styling tools?

Could I have them?

Where are you?

Mom?

No, can't lend you anymore.

Think about it.

Boss.

He has so many cell phones.

Yeah, because you never know.

In a pinch we toss one and use another.

And we all use GPS apps...

to keep track of one another.

Do you understand Japanese?

A new client's here.

You can't even recoup that much?

First-timers only get 50k.

Minus the 50% interest, so 25k.

But I need 100,000 yen.

No.

I'll become a No. 1 host for sure.

Then I could easily pay you back.

I'll work hard.

Hard work isn't enough to succeed at any job.

Why did you become a host?

People who borrow money are all brainless losers.

What a way to put it.

Broke debtors are lower than roaches.

Collecting is a piece of cake.

This job suits me.

Well, I'm off to collect, then.

No way! Leaving the baby to hang out with hosts again?

Wait, you!

I have to suffer because you are such a looser.

I have to suffer because you are such a looser.

I'm the one who is earning money.

I need to vent some or I'll go nuts!

You never make me dream!

You...

Yes?

Do you have the 2 million?

Hey wait!

No. Um, I will soon.

You better, or else.

I've told you a million times...

to get rid of that pear flavor.

I'm sorry.

But that Aizawa...

Sticking around as the head of a pitiful gang...

is pathetic.

He's just a sucker with no backup.

How's that business with the losers going?

It's getting on track.

On track, my ass!

It's such a hassle and not profitable at all.

Why do we have to hire such poor scum...

to do such unproductive work?

Goddamn it!

Nobody will care if a few of them die.

Keep them working.

Ow!

What the...

Hey, watch out!

Today's has medical waste mixed in!

Oh, Rei. Where were you?

Kazuto. I've accepted my fate.

Huh?

I've nowhere to return.

I'll work like hell now.

My very first client was my mom,

but she recently committed suffocation suicide.

I guess she got too hooked on hosts.

You're funny.

I might choose you next time.

Please do.

I can't believe he jokes about his mom's death.

I might choose you next time, too.

Please do.

In lieu of that,

if I order champagne, sleep with me tonight.

Think! If I say yes now,

champagne will be my worth as a host.

I'm not good enough for you.

But I'll be No. 1 someday,

so could you wait?

You've got a big mouth.

That's pretty cheeky for a new host.

I'm too cheeky, so please discipline me.

You're funny.

Give me a Gold.

Thank you! We got an order for a Gold!

Gold! Thank you!

I've come here for you, Saika.

I'm on your side.

Ayaka.

"Ayaka." I see.

So I was right after all.

That was her name but read Ayaka, not Saika.

I finish work soon.

Let's go drinking.

You scum, don't ask Ayaka out.

I'm sorry.

My mother is sick and I have to do the cooking.

Really? That's too bad.

You make me sick.

Bothering my kind and lovable Ayaka, you jerk.

I'll punish you for that.

What?

This is a warning.

Don't ever go near my Ayaka again.

That'll teach you my love for her!

Pay back what you owe.

Oh, sorry.

That's some car you've got.

Yeah, I've been working hard.

Hey Rei.

Why did you become a host?

You're really asking me that?

Yes I am.

After junior high,

I worked at a restaurant.

I was hit and yelled at every day...

and wanted to quit.

But the female customers liked me.

Making women happy came naturally to me.

I figured I'd live off that and become a host.

At first.

But recently, someone asked me why I became a host,

and it got me thinking.

Someone I know killed herself recently.

Only she knows the reason why.

But she drank and read the paper as she died.

Apparently people can't bear boredom...

even under such circumstances.

So now I've decided to make women too happy...

to consider suicide.

Rei, when can I see you next?

That's up to you.

A host needs clients to come to the club.

Remember what you said?

"Your dream is my dream."

Right.

Oh yeah.

Take this.

I'll see you at the club next time.

Thanks, Rei!

So, my Ayaka.

Is your mother doing all right?

"Had a mini-date today."

"Got a nice present."

"It's energy for tomorrow."

You said your mother was sick!

What's a "mini-date"? With who?

What did you get?

So what if you can't recoup your bar's customers' bills?

Got some collecting done.

You're a 39-year-old mom, right?

The owner of a call girl service...

wants a nude photo before hiring.

Masaru, take a picture of her naked.

Here.

What's wrong, Masaru?

Boss.

She's my mother.

I know that.

Same last name and address.

Why are you here?

Hey!

Shut up! I needed money!

Masaru, pay for me.

I don't want my photo taken. Do you?

Strip, you old bag.

What?

Stop!

Boss, I can't do it.

"Lower than roaches", right?

Please have mercy!

Then you pay for her.

Oh, and you're fired.

What?

Thanks, Masaru.

I'll pay you back eventually.

See you.

I'll never forgive you.

I thought...

he had potential.

Why did you fire him?

He's risky.

The debtors we deal with aren't normal.

Who knows what they're thinking?

Or who they really are?

He doesn't get the danger of that.

He underestimated the clients and this job.

He also underestimates money.

Um...

Oh, the new guy at Cow Cow Finance.

Thanks for the other day.

Could I personally buy one from you?

Huh?

50,000 yen, right?

Bravo! There's a man! Hooray!

Eve-san, Ryoma-san, thank you!

Thank you!

Here I am, Rei.

It's about time.

What? What's going on?

Over here.

Over here?

Sit.

Eve.

Order another bottle.

Huh?

Please. A new kid might overtake me.

Make me a real man.

You cleaned my place so I'll order another.

White isn't enough.

Rosé, then?

A bit more. Go for Gold!

Oh what the hell.

Bring us a Platinum!

We got an order for a Dom Pérignon Platinum!

Dom Pérignon Platinum! Thank you!

Ayaka, I'll be blunt.

How much can you spend?

About 200,000 yen.

Oh. 200k, huh?

Why? What's wrong, Rei?

There's a cognac named after a French king.

Louis XIII de Rémy Martin.

It becomes me.

Order it for me, Ayaka.

How much is it?

700k.

700,000 yen?

With that cognac I could turn the tables...

and become No. 5.

I could never afford that much.

Ayaka.

Ayaka.

Make me win.

I want to realize my dream with you.

We got an order for a Louis XIII!

Louis XIII! Thank you!

When I'm with Rei I feel so airy and lightheaded.

But 700,000 yen...

What will Rei do if I flee?

"Online Dating"

Boss, that host Rei Kanzaki...

will pay off his debt.

He's good. Reaching No. 5. so quickly.

Takada.

Hosts lie to women to make them order bottles, right?

Women prefer positive lies to the negative truth.

Huh?

Professional liars, huh?

Hosts not only lie to their clients,

but also to themselves.

Hope he isn't crushed by the weight of his own lies.

Why have I sunk so low...

as to take along such kids?

The noodles catch the soup well, but...

The soup is subpar.

It's too bland.

65 point.

Wow, Kazu! You really know your ramen!

Not just ramen. I eat around a lot.

Stop talking drivel to try to show off to a woman.

OK, thanks.

See you again tomorrow.

Pay what you owe into our account.

You're cute. Let's go.

You're a dead lay.

You won't get clients if you pretend you don't enjoy it.

Out overnight again?

Did that blabbermouth neighbor see you?

Oh, and don't commit any crimes, all right?

Moneylenders are rich, aren't they?

Call me again.

Let's go again tonight!

Wow, you're awesome, Masaru!

I love you!

Maybe I'll tell Aizawa about his ride.

Bad idea.

Hey, that was a sissy scooter, wasn't it?

He's a poser, so...

Yo, Masaru.

So I hear you're rolling in money.

Give me some.

I'll pay you the rest as soon as I can.

I'm counting on you.

Welcome.

Oh, no thanks.

See you.

Hey.

I ran away from home.

Let me stay with you.

No host puts women up at his place.

Please. I've nowhere else to go.

I'm really busy, you know.

Seriously, only for a few days.

Sorry. I won't cause you trouble.

See you.

Here's your iced tea.

Ayaka.

You didn't follow me back on Twitter.

Why isn't it me?

What do you see in that host? Forget him.

Let's live together. OK?

No! Let go!

Ayaka.

What?

A creepy guy was outside. I'm so scared.

Calm down. I'm busy right now.

Sorry. Can you come home early?

No.

By the way, my birthday celebration's this month.

Let's you and I become No. 1.

How much do you need?

At least 2 million.

2 million?

I can't...

Please.

Let's make our dream come true together.

Turn that off when you're with me.

Or give back your suits and Porsche.

And the condo.

Yes.

Rei.

My mother went through menopause at 58.

I'll almost stop being a woman.

I want to see the man I sponsor shine brilliantly.

I want to recover what I left behind by spending money.

Rei.

Make me dream.

2 million yen.

2 million? How old are you?

You probably don't even have hair below.

Got an older sister?

No. Why?

Don't lie. This card's your sister's.

How'd you guess?

You can only borrow 50k.

If you want more, I know lucrative work.

Hello? Do you need any loans?

We'll keep the interest low. Yes.

What? Oh, sorry about that...

All rights!

You better call every one of those names on that list.

So what are you waiting for?

Start making calls!

Hurry and call the next one.

I'll never forgive you...

until you pay me 2 million total.

Something's up.

Our usual clients aren't borrowing.

Same here. I think it's too many.

Boss, could it be...

It looks like you were right.

Thanks, Inui.

So was it just the one?

What will you do about the hyenas?

Ushijima's the baddest.

Today's the deadline, Shiori.

I could become No. 1 today. Drop by.

So today's the day, Rei.

"Appearance Release"

I told you to make her turn her cell off.

She has to concentrate.

Sorry.

Listen. The moment she turns 18...

we'll shoot the actual sex scene.

Here, read this.

"Hot 18-year-old Amateur Pussy Gets Some"

Why are you in line?

Hey, get out of the way. Go!

Yes, sorry.

Withdraw all the money that's been paid back.

You better have 2 million or else.

Huh?

What?

Huh?

105 yen?

We made him withdraw on a separate card.

Idiot had 2.5 million in an account I sold.

We did nothing and profited.

The ironclad rule is to withdraw immediately...

from fake accounts.

They didn't know. The fools.

How pathetic, Masaru!

Hey! Say your final words!

It's true! I really had the money.

Have mercy! I'll pay you!

I can't hear excuses.

You're useless without the money.

Hey, how old are you?

Fifteen.

Fourteen.

Fifteen.

Twelve.

OK. Then you do it.

Don't stop them. We'll be next.

Aizawa-san, please!

Let me make a call to Ushijima-san!

I'm so nice.

Oh, Masaru.

Boss, please! Lend me 2 million yen!

Why?

Aizawa will kill me if I don't pay!

Please!

No. You're not worth 2 million.

Boss! Help me! Please!

I'm eating fried rice with omelet. Bye.

Boss! Boss! Ushijima...

Ushijima-san! Ushijima-san!

Die.

He didn't have any money! Jerk!

I accidently killed him!

What are we doing now?

I'm hungry.

Shut up! Come to my place for now.

I was a fool for counting on Masaru.

In the worst case,

they're coming down with me.

Why won't it open?

What? You have a key, don't you?

Move!

Why? Don't be ridiculous!

Hey. Why don't you just shut up?

We have things to discuss.

What are you saying so late at night?

Don't talk so big, you worthless loser.

You're the idle one so you go away!

Just shut up!

Take the baby and go to your parents'.

What the hell you're talking about.

Don't be stupid!

Drop dead!

You drop dead!

I'll kill you if you don't scram!

I'm so sorry.

So things were rough, huh?

Yes. He was pretty much dead.

I almost suffocated to death because of Aizawa.

Good thing you survived, Masaru.

Here.

You stole our debtors' list and called our clients.

That's a bill for the 3 million we lost.

What?

Our interest is 50% per 10 days.

That's 1.5 million in 10 days.

Please! I'll do anything!

Give me a chance...

Go.

Hello?

Makiko-san, thank you for coming!

How's it going?

Not good.

I'm away behind but Taisei just ordered a Richard.

Then bring me a Richard too!

Dickhead!

We got an order for a Richard!

Richard! Thank you!

This way please.

Cheers.

Midnight! She's 18 now!

You're on.

How is it?

It hurts.

It hurts.

It feels good.

Go buy some booze.

You go, kid.

Who you calling a kid?

You go, fatso!

I'm older than you, you know.

So what, fatso?

We'll kill you, too!

Look, he's a wuss!

I'll go.

I want strawberry milk.

Oh, then I want, hmm...

Your phone's ringing.

I know.

Hello?

Pick up the phone.

Don't mess with me.

Sorry, Saihara-san.

Do you have the 2 million?

Yes.

Murai! The pear flavor again!

You did it on purpose. Do your job.

You better not be bluffing!

Come to my office at 3 p.m. tomorrow.

Think of a way to get money.

I'm going to be in deep shit...

if I don't have money by 3 tomorrow.

It's not our problem.

Can we go home?

I need my game fix.

What the hell are you saying?

You can't go home. No way I'll let you go.

Let's steal money from Ushijima.

Masaru!

You're alive.

How did you...

Loan sharks are criminals,

so they can't go to the cops.

So just attack them when they're at the bank.

You're nuts, Masaru.

How do we do that?

We stake out at their office and follow them,

and attack after they withdraw the money.

Piece of cake!

It'll never be that easy.

And who knows when they'll go?

Tomorrow.

How do you know?

Tomorrow is payday.

We were paid in cash, so...

Why are you telling me?

What's in it for you? Are you framing me?

No!

Ushijima forced a 3-million-yen debt on me!

If I don't take him out, I'm through!

I want to work with you!

Aizawa-san.

I don't get why we have to do so much for you.

What's in it for us?

If we get Ushijima's money,

I just need 2 million. Take the rest.

Seriously?

We'll need weapons to fight Ushijima.

Here, have some.

No, I'm driving.

Who do you think you are,

saying no to Masa?

Make Ezaki drive. Here.

No, really. Sorry.

Oh well.

I need to ask you a favor.

Money again?

Yeah.

We had to pay lots of cash gifts,

and now my boss is extending his home.

and now my boss is extending his home.

and now my boss is extending his home.

So could you give me three?

3 million yen?

Yep. You got it.

Our interest is 50% every 10 days.

Ezaki, your boss is a funny guy.

We bought up a bankrupt toy factory the other day.

There's 10 million yen's worth of toys there. Want it?

Give us a break.

Ours is a trifling business,

and it's tough to stay afloat.

Then start a toy business.

How cute. Look.

So cute.

Here.

Here you go, Kumakura-san.

Oh, great. Have you eaten?

No.

Stay and eat.

Thank you.

She really must have been hungry.

You eat so repulsively.

Too bad because otherwise you're pretty.

Sorry. I eat like this since I was a kid.

So, what do you say?

Not 3 million yen.

Come on.

Let me show my generosity to my boss.

I'm sorry.

Ushijima, you do business under Nyako-kai,

so shut up and bring the money.

Akane,

you loan sharks are us gangsters' wallets.

Wallets should mind their own business.

I'm sorry.

Got in trouble because of you.

Those eyes of yours really piss me off.

So bring 3 million tomorrow.

Bye.

Ushijima! You forgot this!

See you, Ushijima.

Where are we going? It's late.

Shut up! Just come with me.

Being the head of a biker gang takes money.

You never have enough.

But my gang is the only thing I have.

The woman I live with is just a roommate.

Who knows if that baby's really mine?

Damn it!

Without my gang, I'm left with nothing.

So I borrowed money...

From the wrong person.

My debt swelled up to 2 million in a flash.

I can't say that I can't pay her back.

Where did my life start to go wrong?

After quitting high school,

I couldn't hold down any jobs.

I'm a loser and now I'm paying for it.

Aizawa-san, where are we going?

To the grave.

What's that?

A local gangster's guns.

Huh? Are they real?

Yeah. It's way too risky to hold on to used guns,

so he's hiding it in his woman's family's grave.

Sacrilegious, I tell ya.

Even Ushijima will be scared shitless.

Aizawa's the baddest!

Hello?

Aizawa, where are you?

At home.

Oh, I see. Doing what?

Playing cards.

Don't lie to me!

We're at your place now.

Where are you?

Aizawa flew the coop.

Oh shit, oh shit! This is bad.

Will you run, Aizawa? No, Aizawa!

Aizawa-san?

I'll take you to a better place.

Wow, thanks!

It's always packed but I'm a regular.

Give us your money!

Don't take my car!

Forget it. My despair is yours now.

You were heading to a motel, right?

That's dirty.

Aizawa-san, can I try out the taser on them?

Hey woman! Chin up!

Wait! What are you doing?

I get first dibs.

We got an order for five Rosés for Taisei!

Five Rosés! Thank you!

And what's more...

What? No way!

Two Romanée-Contis!

Two Romanée-Contis! Thank you!

It's over.

How many rich clients does he have?

Makiko-san! Order two Romanée...

Give it up.

Makiko-san!

Makiko-san!

It's over, Rei.

This is as far as you can go.

Rei, I'm sorry I'm late.

What's wrong?

I'm so mortified, Ayaka.

I couldn't be somebody after all.

How far ahead is Taisei?

2 million wouldn't be enough.

That's about 4.5 million.

You're my No. 1, Rei.

Pour it! Pour it!

Keep on pouring!

Congrats, Rei!

Thanks, Ayaka!

Keep on pouring!

More! More!

Whoa! Hey, are you OK?

Ayaka.

What?

Let's keep it up.

It's humiliating if I fall from No. 1.

I think he's going your way.

You think? Keep your eyes open!

You know, I'm getting bored.

I want breakfast at McDonald's.

Ushijima's coming back!

"Sardine soup ramen"...

Hello, Boss.

Hello.

Hello.

OK, Ezaki and Takada. Go to the bank.

Yes Sir.

Call promptly after leaving the bank.

Yes, we know.

Ezaki.

You forgot because you were eating.

Sorry, Boss.

What's this "ramen info"?

Off to the bank!

See you.

Let's go.

Fasten your seatbelts.

Get some cigarettes, will you?

The call?

I'll call him.

Now.

Get his feet!

What are you doing? Idiot!

Not here.

Not here.

Masaru. Takada has the money.

He doesn't have cash, either!

They didn't come to withdraw the salary?

What have you done?

The bankbook!

There, 5 million! Get the code number from Ezaki!

Damn it! We need a hideout!

Hey! Turn off Takada's phone!

Turn it off, you idiot!

We stand out too much.

Just having guns is 3 years' time.

Plus kidnapping, armed robbery, rape...

I'm screwed.

OK. Everyone fasten your seatbelts.

Their phones have GPS, right?

Yeah.

But they're off so I can't find them.

Hyenas, do you think?

But the worse scenario is...

for my men to be arrested,

and questioned separately.

If that happens,

the cops will pay a visit to you soon.

Anyway, I'll take a look around the bank.

Thanks.

You can stay if you pay for everyone going in.

Maya.

Take this cash and bankbooks...

I know. I'll lay low.

I know. I'll lay low.

I know. I'll lay low.

I won't contact you until you do.

Ezaki, tell us the code number!

I said I don't know!

How could you not know?

Don't pass out! Hey!

Wake, Takada!

What time is it?

2:07 p.m.

Shit! There's no time!

There's so much in the account but now what?

Can't you think of anything?

No, sorry.

Hey, what's so funny?

Nothing.

You get what's going on?

It's not funny!

Your facial expression is out of whack!

What do you have to say?

Look at me when I'm talking!

The boss might think we've been arrested.

So he'll quickly dispose of the debtors' lists.

Our lifeline!

That's a loan of 50k for every name.

The interest is 75k a month. 125k total.

I have to contact him now!

Aizawa-san!

Huh?

About the code number...

Only the boss knows it.

Call him, tell him you have us,

and demand the code.

We were supposed to call him at the bank.

Call him now or he'll cancel the card...

and move the money from the account!

Shut up! I know that!

Hey Masaru! Come on! Meeting time!

Think! Takada's up to something, isn't he?

I've never been in a motel.

I have.

Don't try to show off, liar.

Hey, watch your mouth.

Don't you think it's odd?

He's got no way out,

so why's he suggesting a way to get the code?

Shut the hell up! Get out of here!

Let's go.

It's odd from the start.

Would employees going to the bank...

really not know the code number?

You're right.

Let's do the woman as a diversion.

Yeah, let's.

Hey, you come, too.

What?

Hurry up, fatso.

What about him?

Nah. He's impotent and can't get an erection.

Let's go.

What's "impotent"?

Hey. Turn on my cell phone.

Someone will die at this rate.

You'll be implicated.

You were just dragged in, right?

I can tell.

They'll all be caught.

But I won't tell about you.

Just turn on that blue phone and press redial!

Then run away!

Aizawa will come back! Hurry!

Don't be an ex-con!

Aizawa-san! What will you do?

There's no time!

I'm not calling. You can't be trusted.

You really know the code, don't you?

Of course you do!

I won't tell that Aizawa-san and Masaru...

took Ezaki-san and me hostage at Crossroad motel!

What the hell are you saying?

We've lost this much keep.

About 6 million's worth.

Stop blabbering nonsense!

The code!

I don't know!

Aizawa-san, let's just forget him.

Let's raid the office and steal cash.

Threaten Ushijima with the guns.

There are 8 of us.

We could overtake him!

OK! We're done with you.

Die!

The boss will be here soon!

What?

"Ushijima-san"

Shit!

Did you do it?

What? No.

Who else is there? Huh?

Then what? Takada has telekinesis?

You asshole!

You asshole!

He'll be here any minute now!

He'll be here any minute now!

Shut up!

Masaru! We're taking them as hostage!

Right!

Don't just sit there!

Move it! Get in!

What about them?

I'll go get them.

There's no time! Forget them!

Really?

I've got this. Let's go!

Shit!

What the...? Who is he?

What's he doing?

Step on it!

What the hell? Who is that?

Step on it! Step on it!

Nothing.

Money... Money...

Oh man, I'm finished!

Let's attack Ushijima. You've got a gun.

Attack him? Where?

I'll track his phone using GPS.

Piece of cake!

There's no other way.

Oh, turn left here, I think.

What do you mean, you think?

I missed Saihara's time limit

but if I get the money I'll be OK.

Unless Ushijima tells me the code,

I'll kill him. Die, Ushijima!

Kill him, Aizawa!

I'll pay back Saihara and use the rest,

I'll pay back Saihara and use the rest,

and use the rest to start a ramen shop.

I'm a ramen expert...

so I could make the best ramen ever!

Huh? I lost his signal.

What?

What are we going to do?

Oh! Look, Aizawa-san!

How was it?

He's meeting someone. He has cash.

What now?

Here's an idea. I found the power room.

We cut the power, call Ushijima's cell to use as a guide...

to go bash him in and rob him.

Piece of cake!

You idiot. He broke his cell.

It won't work anymore!

He always has another cell just in case.

Ezaki knows the number to that one.

OK. I'll go settle things with Ushijima.

You take this.

Take Ezaki to the power room.

Ezaki, we won't hurt Ushijima.

We just want his money.

This is backup.

But if you don't cooperate,

you and your boss are both dead.

Sorry for taking up your time.

It's fine.

A phone's ringing.

Shut it off, Ushijima.

Don't check it, it's rude.

It's OK, Akane.

Ushijima's like an old friend.

Right?

Kumakura-san.

Before I forget. Happy Birthday.

Oh. A Bentley?

Yes.

Wow, that's nice.

You can have it, Yukimi.

Really?

Oops. Missed the cleavage. Once again.

You'll get something better later.

Oh Masa, not now!

Hey, come here.

Was it urgent? You OK? A woman?

Oh yeah, Ushijima-san.

Bring the money?

Masaru.

I'm ready.

When I cut the power, call Ushijima.

If his cell doesn't ring, I'll know!

Masaru, don't.

It's not too late!

I'm serious! Don't fuck with me!

Here we go, Aizawa-san.

Three, two, one, go!

A blackout?

Whoa, what's going on?

Ezaki!

He said he wouldn't kill Ushijima!

Hurry up and call!

All right.

It's not time yet. Go back.

Great, Ezaki!

Something flashed!

What the hell are you doing? Hey!

Sir! Hey, call an ambulance!

Sir!

Hurry up!

Aizawa-san?

What happened, Aizawa-san?

Ezaki, what did you...

...do?

Ezaki.

Thanks, Inui. How did you find us?

Your boss called,

so I went to the motel.

I stuck a GPS transmitter on the van and chased it.

Then...

He always has another cell...

"Urgent! Call me!"

"At least when your phone rings again,"

"get away from it!"

Was it urgent? You OK?

I hope Ushijima is OK.

I didn't call his phone.

What?

I called Kumakura.

I'd never betray the boss.

What's he doing, then?

Look at what he's got!

You bastard, who sent you?

No! I... uh... I was just trying to...trying...

taking Ushijima's money...

What are you talking about?

He was after the money I brought for your boss.

How did word get out that I'd have cash?

I can't be mugged every time I carry cash.

I'll come again.

Ushijima. Leave the money.

I brought it for Kumakura-san.

Hey, wait!

No, you wait!

What?

You're behind on your payments.

Gambling it all away.

Is this the time to say that?

Yeah.

Give me.

Huh?

That pays off what I owe you, OK?

Takada's not as badly hurt as expected.

The debtors' info should be salvageable...

from the computer.

I'll get Maya to do it.

Where is she, by the way?

Yes?

You can come back now.

Yes.

Yo, Akemi.

What are you doing to me?

Remember you became an employee of Nyako-kai?

Yes.

That was my idea.

You took out life insurance for employees then.

You're killing me?

Don't be silly.

I like you, Aizawa. I'd cry if you died.

Be grateful to Saihara-san.

Everyone at Nyako-kai wanted to see you dead,

but she spoke with the higher-ups to convince them.

There was a more profitable way to make you pay.

No need to die.

Being severely disabled is enough.

Insurance investigators are ex-cops.

So get hit naturally.

Here it comes, Aizawa.

Three, two, one...

I can't!

Hey. Why? What's wrong?

Don't back off!

Do it!

You have no choice but to go forward.

Who's it from?

My wife.

Answer it.

Hello?

Yo.

Ushijima!

Why do you have my wife's phone?

I came to collect damages.

What? We're broke!

What did you do to my wife?

Don't worry about money.

Your wife will do what you'll do for Saihara.

What?

Take out life insurance and bam.

You...

Don't be chicken and dive in, Aizawa.

Please.

Have mercy! My wife didn't do anything!

Sorry. I wasn't listening.

I beg you! Please leave my wife alone!

Sorry, Aizawa.

I suck at consoling people.

Stand up, Aizawa!

Ready? You're going next.

Akane Saihara.

Kaoru Ushijima.

Lunatics who don't balk at swinging a bat at someone's head.

They both belong in a different world.

Three,

two,

one, go.

Are you going already?

I just came home to change.

Oh, and stop calling me.

You'll erase my clients' call history.

See you.

I'm using my car to take a client shopping.

Please stay with me.

I'm busy.

I can't fall from No. 1 after only a month!

What?

Yeah?

Napoli Pizza.

OK.

Why are you ordering pizza...

when you said you'd leave soon?

I didn't order.

What?

Who are you?

Ayaka! I'm here to save you!

Stop exploiting her!

Stop! I have nothing to do with you two!

Oh yes you have!

Ayaka, this is who he really is.

Rei!

Ayaka.

I love you. Only I can save you.

Ayaka Fujieda.

Who are you?

I'm here to collect the interest.

Get out of here! You're in the way!

I'll kill you.

The interest. 25,000 yen.

I don't have enough right now.

I'll let you carry over the rest.

Your loan is now 72,000 yen.

The interest is 36,000 yen.

Shouldn't you pick that up?

The 5-yen coin.

What?

5 yen is valuable money, too, right?

You can't start over if you don't.

The Japanese have eaten grilled chicken since the late 700s.

They grilled wild birds back then though.

Oh really.

So the reason why we crave this stuff...

is because it's wired in our genes,

don't you think?

Who cares?

If a host can't get a client within 3 months,

he won't get paid.

More and more young people want to live securely,

but fuck that!

Fuck that!

Succeed if you were born a man!

Be ambitious! Be a king!

Yes!

You can only make a living as a host when you're young.

So fleeting.

Hosts lie for women's sake.

They give women a transient radiance.

But the women's dark side engulfs that radiance.

Being a host is fleeting because...

no matter how they shine,

the women's dark side is deep and black.

By the way, Ushijima.

You jumped on Aizawa's life insurance bandwagon.

How'd it go?

Good, thanks to you.

How did you find out what Saihara was doing?

Yukimi, the bar hostess.

She's been one of my sources.

So I'm always updated on Nyako-kai.

Good thing Aizawa's wife signed...

the fraudulent insurance contract.

You were lucky.

Aizawa's wife Akemi was into hosts and owed us money.

We used a debtor to pretend to be Aizawa,

and an insurance woman who also owes us.

He's in critical condition.

Payments for disability, surgery, and hospitalization...

cover the doctor's fees for my men.

Don't be chicken and dive in, Aizawa.

You're killing me?

Don't be silly. I'd cry if you died.

Good thing I've got gut fat.

How did Aizawa's wife react...

when she learned that he tried to protect her?

She looked normal.

Why'd you lie to Aizawa...

that you'd force his wife into traffic?

To harass him.

You're mean, Ushijima.

Don't be silly. I like Aizawa.

You're pretty skillful.

I used to work in a restaurant.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No. She dumped me.

With that face, I don't blame her.

Oh, welcome.

But your face doesn't matter in here.

Be diligent.

Want to try grilling meatballs or liver?

Yes!

Mom.

You came a long way to spend a fortune...

at a host club for your son.

You loved baseball,

and drinking,

and died surrounded by your favorites.

Were you lonely?

Mom.

Do you think

I could make someone happy again?

Well, Ushijima. I'll go now.

See you.

It was good.

Thank you.

"Erotic Massages Eroriano Beyond"

No. I'm Monako. I'm new here.

Where's the 50k for being late the other day?

That's all I have now.

How many more clients today?

I've got 3 reservations.

Oh. Then we'll be back tomorrow.

You don't support a host now,

so be exact.

You loan sharks are trash.

I don't get your purpose in life.

Or mine, either.

There's no purpose in dying.

"Hair Stylist Licensing Exam"

Arisa, your next client is here.

Is the sex industry the only way for women in debt?

She's not the same as before now.

What?

At least she's begun thinking for herself.

I see. That's what I was thinking.

Oh. Money.

You...!

Stop!

Damn it! Give me money, Ushijima!

You asshole!

That was close!

Kill me! Go ahead and kill me!

What's the point? You owe us money.

Your debt, 3 million.

20 days' interest, 3.75 million.

A late fee of a million,

and 250k for shooting us.

My life is worth 250k?

Isn't that a bit cheap?

You're alive.

I guess so, but...

Masaru. You owe us 8 million yen total.

Ushijima! I'll be better than you someday!

Don't forget, 4 million in 10 days.

Good thing you tried to pick up money.

Yeah.

How much did you get?

This much.

My life's worth 5 yen, I guess.

Don't belittle it.

5 yen can save your life.

I see. That's what I was thinking.

Ezaki-san, you think Masaru will attack us again?

What do you think?

I asked you.

What do you think, Boss?

Ezaki.

You haven't been thinking at all.

Hmm?

Directed by Masatoshi Yamaguchi

Not enough. Pick up that 5-yen coin.

What good is a measly 5-yen coin?

Hey, lend me 50k more instead.

Huh? What are you saying?

Horses again?

No. I really need to go to the dentist. See?

You little liar.

How many cavities do you have?

Stop it!

That hurts! Stop it!

Open wide!

I'll fix your teeth so pay the interest.

So, just one cavity?
