It was the time when dogs were swept away from the street, and people started to seek their own prosperity. But anyone that went against the social stream were oppressed and forgotten by society.

The riots were over and became just a part of history. The government offi cials had completely oppressed and annihilated the opposition. However, this lead to another battle against the elite security unit that is known as “Kerberos,” who refused the order from their officials to disband. It created a symbolic figure at the end of this age. It was a rebellion of watchdogs who had lost their masters. People called it “The Kerberos Uprising.”

Where are you going?

Why are you running away?

“Don't stop fighting!”

You gave me that order!

Are you Japanese?

What do I look like?

L'm Hayashi of the Fugitive Support Group.

It took a while to confirm your identity at headquarters.

As you know, ithas been three years since your group was destroyed.

These days, most people don't even remember the incident anymore.

Excuse me, can I get chow-mein?

Three years ago is just like the day before yesterday.

You must be joking.

You left Japan while on parole. That's a very serious action.

L'll tell you about Koichi Todome, who you requested us to investigate.

After he escaped from Japan, he drifted from South America to Central America...

and finally arrived in this country at the end of last year.

However, he became involved with a local criminal organization...

...and was taken off of our list.

I guess he needed big money.

It's not so uncommon for a refugee.

You must already know...

...but supporters of our organization hate this type of trouble.

Usually, we're not supposed to give out this kind of information.

I don 'l know about her background.

Her name is Tang Mie.

How the mighty have fallen.

I can 't believe that he was once the leader of “Kerberos”...

which terrified an entire metropolis.

He escaped from his country with determination to continue the battle...

...and rebuild his organization, but after all he set out lo do...

Who is it?

Are you looking for Koichi?

Did you come from Japan to find him?

He left here three months ago, and hasn't been back since.

Left?

He took his precious suitcase and was gone.

He left here before and I had to go bring him back every time.

But this time it seems he's gone really far away.

He's still sending me money once a month from Tainan.

I didn't know you had that much money.

I sold the condo.

Sold?

I was planning to hire a private detective to find him.

L'm glad you came. You can save me some time.

L'm not a private detective.

Then there's no charge for this.

Of course, l'm going to pay all the expenses.

I don't know what l'm gonna do to him if I find him first.

Are you going to kill Koichi?

I don't know.

No, you won't!

Why?

You don't look like a bad guy.

How do you know that?

Oh, so you're saying you are a bad guy?

I don't really know.

You don't know anything.

I knew that from the moment I saw you.

I heard that you were dumped by someone before.

What are we going to do now?

Inui!

Why did you come to a place like this?

I had no other place to be.

I smelled my comrade and came to this crowd.

But it seems like there's no place for me to stay here.

L'm still a human inside, even if I was trained to be a dog.

Why are you here?

Me?

I have a purpose.

A Purpose?

L'll tell you sometime.

Do you like to take orders?

Who knows?

I like it.

However...

I want to choose my own master.

Master?

That which I want to be faithful to.

Like a nation or a thought.

There are a lot of those things to choose from...

...but what's best for me is most important.

The only thing we can do is to choose.

I wish we both could find masters who we won't regret.

They are stray dogs.

Someone might have dumped them, or they got lost.

There are so many of them around here.

They co-exist with humans, butfrom a careful distance.

But they'll never open themselves to humans.

They hold a strong grudge against the humans who dumped them...

...but they also miss the smell of their masters so much.

They are eternally ambivalent.

But they're animals no matter what.

They will never know the reason why their master had to dump them.

What are you talking about?

L'm going to talk about an impressive but tragic story about a dog...

...who is looking for his master and his future.

He looked around for the master he imagined...

...running continuously on his bloody feet.

Finally, this faithful dog even climbed over the Rocky Mountains.

But, after he met the master who he had been dreaming of...

...what was really waiting for him?

There is a proper reason why people dump their dogs.

You can even call it a historical necessity.

No matter how unreasonable it may sound...

...the dog has to payfor any misfortune on his own...

...even if he couldn't understand the reason why.

That's the only lesson and the saddest lesson...

...that humans and dogs have to learn.

Why don't you use your brain a little more?

Lassie! Lassie!

Hang on Lassie!

Mistuwa! Mitsuwa!

Lassie of Mitsuwa!

Hey!

Inui!

Come here.

Inui!

Come on, let's go!

Excuse me...

Koichi!

Hey!

Coward!

Shut up!

Sex maniac!

Lolita complex!

Let go of me!

You did a greatjob of finding me.

You got out of jail amazingly quick.

I was given a separate trial and was a well-behaved model prisoner.

After I was paroled, lforged a passport and flew here.

It was just because...

You had something to tell me.

Ijust wanted to ask you what should I do from now on?

I don't have any right to give you a command now.

Why don't you live here for a while?

This is a really nice place.

This place has good weather and delicious fish to eat.

Besides, I have money from the condo that Tang Mie sold.

But...

She's...

That's why we should all live together.

Right?

Hey lnui!

Isn't this place large enough?

Three people can easily live here together if we fix it up a little bit.

Now...

...let's talk about the rent!

You two look pretty strong, so if you both work hard...

...l'll give you a raise.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You pulled up your ass too high! Drop your ass!

You idiot!

Come on! Hurry up!

Hey, what are you doing?! Do it quickly!

Don't open your arms so wide! Close your arms!

Come on! What the hell are you doing?!

Damn it! You'll never finish this until the sun goes down!

Hey! Are you playing with yourself?

Idiot!

You're ten years early!

It's ten years before you can do that!

What are you doing?!

The eyeballs are the most delicious part! The eyeballs!

I didn't know she was that scary.

You picked up quite a girl.

You still don't get it?

L'm notthe one who picked her up.

She's the one who picked you and me up.

I wonder... You still haven't... with her?

What the hell is so funny?!

Shut the fuck up!

Inui!

Inui!

Hello!

This is Hayashi.

You look angry.

Although he is out of our support group...

...we still have taken an interest in Koichi Todome.

He's just like a bomb to us.

If he attracts attention from officials...

...our organization, which is supporting many other exiles...

...would be in extreme jeopardy.

And, that might become a reality.

People might have forgotten about it, but they haven't.

Especially, the officials obsessed with the riot...

...but gave you parole after only three years.

Isn't it strange they overlooked your departure?

Didn't you think it was suspicious?

Dogs can overcome any kind of difficulties...

...to go back to their masters.

It's an unfortunate fatal habitfor them.

Please tell him.

If he surrenders without resistance, we'll leave you and her alone.

I made a deal with the officials.

With the condition that you guys never go back to Japan.

They can't act too wild in this country.

I think it is afair deal.

L'll be waiting at the hotel on the National Route, 5 kilometers north.

You have until sunset.

Mr. Hayashi, is that your name?

Escaped from the group and went into the crowd.

Met a woman and rented a house.

Ate dinner every night there.

And ended up escaping from that place again.

What the hell were those three years supposed to be for?

You mean to him?

To me!

The time when you guys can eat at a roadside stand has ended.

The time when dogs disappear from the street...

...will come soon to this country.

Even if your memory of the time you were a dog...

...fills your heart with excitement...

...humans have to live only as a humans.

That's all.

Where the hell are you going with it?

Inui!

Don't give me orders!

If you can do that now...

...why didn't you do it back then?

If you had...

...l wouldn't have had to look for you.

I wouldn't have met Tang Mie either.

Inui!

What is it?

You're stepping in dog shit.

Inui!

What the hell are you trying to do?

Even if you sweep them away...

...the next group of people will come back.

And the same thing will repeat, again and again.

The wonderful love story between a dog and his master...

...has already ended.

No, you have forced it to end.

It took three years for him and me to end it.

Yes...

Who is your master?!

Summer, 1991. Koichi Todome went back to Japan.
