"Life's but a walking shadow" Quote from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"

What will you do after this?

Where do I want to go?

I wonder where I'm heading.

Shut up.

Hey!

What the hell is this?!

It's my shadow.

My walking shadow.

I lost my family to a swindler.

I became a swindler myself to get revenge.

A swindler who cons other swindlers.

- Are these all stolen? - That's right.

I bought them so cheap it was stupid.

- But you can't sell them just like that? - That's why I changed the license plates.

- Then I can resell them cheaply. - I see.

I was taught that.

But it wasn't for free.

Lady!

I changed the license plates as you ordered.

I can see that. Good work.

Here's the 5,000,000 yen (US$48,000) that I promised.

Thanks.

Alone I will feed on... indulgent swindlers...

I will feed on them.

That gives me 30,000,000 ($285,000) in total.

Hang on...!

What is this?!

They're all the same!

We've been conned!

No way!

Kurosaki?

Kurosaki!

How dare you!?

"Maido ari (thank you)"

How dare you?!

- Maido ari (thank you.) - How dare you?!

How dare you?!

Ah!

How dare he!?

You did it again.

That's right. Peace~!

In the world there are three types of swindlers.

There are shirosagi (white swindlers) who swindle money.

There are akasagi (red swindlers) who feed on emotions and swindle people of the opposite sex.

And there is a swindler who only feeds on red and white swindlers.

My name is Kurosaki.

"Kurosagi" (Black Swindler)

His name is Katsuragi.

He's the don of the swindling world.

Secret bar behind "Katsura" restaurant

There are no white swindlers unknown to him.

Julius Caesar. The author wrote it about the fall of the Roman Empire.

William Shakespeare.

I buy information about white swindlers from this old man.

Based on a tragedy in old Rome, it is a play about Caesar's assassination.

We're known each other a long time.

He defeated Pompey's forces and became a hero and the Emperor of Rome.

But he was conned by traitors.

And he is also my arch-enemy.

And he was killed.

Again?

Are you acting out Shakespeare?

- Do something or sell me the information. - You ruined the scene.

I'm so sorry, but I did the best I could.

- Matches. - They're there.

But isn't it weird to be using this for a Shakespeare play?

It's real?!

Please stop that!

Stop it!

Please sell me a client.

In the end I will definitely feed on this old man.

- A free pass to a health spa. - Can I have another one?

Thank you.

Ishigaki Tooru, a white swindler. A even swindler.

- Ah, sorry. Even means trivial. - I know that.

It's totally different from the photo! One scoop of ice cream is missing.

- Ah, well... - You're trying to swindle me?!

Ishigaki is so serious about swindling that he argues over the most mundane items.

- If you're not interested... - Stop it.

Lately it's always the same pattern.

The shop where Ishigaki is a sitting duck.

Okay then...

In that case... I'll go here.

Okay, okay. This one, too. Okay.

Welcome~

Long time, no see! Over this way.

Hi. The usual, please.

He's a major player in the rush to get mobile phone contents that can use internet information.

He's so handsome.

And he's fluent in English.

I've tried to talk to him, but he doesn't seem to bite.

He's seems full of himself after the mobile phone contents success.

Well, how about here?

Ah! A come-from-behind win!

I hadn't noticed that spot.

When you did notice, it was already over.

Excuse me.

Of course.

I'm here, but what ward?

Mm.

- You shouldn't do that. - 'Kay, 'kay.

What?

Yeah, yeah.

Using a mobile phone at a hospital.

Just a second.

It's fine if you're outside the building.

Adults make excuses straight away.

Adults are... very busy.

I'll call you back.

Kids who don't have phones wouldn't understand.

I have one.

A toy one, right?

A kids phone. Don't you know about them?

You're cheeky!

But I can only call my mom on it.

Okekawa? You're her?!

I worked day and night to finally create that business.

Ishigaki even used that child as bait.

Oh, really? She's 6 years old? My daughter's the same.

- Oh? Really? - Mm.

Momoka? Her name's pretty.

I often take my girl out shopping with me on the weekends.

But my daughter was born with a heart condition and is hospitalized.

Oh, really?

She must have a heart transfer, but in Japan you must be over 15 to be eligible.

I've put her name on overseas waiting lists, but we're still waiting.

You must be worried.

Sorry for talking about this.

Ms. Okekawa...

This is Ishigaki's stamp. Please use it.

Wow!

Is that... a diamond?!

Actually that stamp was made for better fortune.

- But it's so extravagant... - It's fine.

A wonderful company manager like you should have something like this.

This is a secret, but using that stamp seals the company's success.

But...

Ms. Okekawa?

Please do use it... for the sake of your daughter too.

Thank you.

You owe us!

What's this about?

You signed the contract. It's your company that signed it!

No way...

48,000,000 yen ($450,000)

We'll make you pay it back through whatever means, manager!

So Ishigaki had made that stamp to sign that other contract.

Then he successfully read your emotions and left you as the real scapegoat.

It can't be proved if that contract was stamped before or after he gave you possession of the stamp.

I hadn't noticed what was happening.

When you did notice, it was already over.

I'll swindle back the money that was swindled from you.

Is this about what we discussed before?

One moment, please.

Aloha!

- Please come this way. - Thank you.

So you know mobile phone are recently adding dot com? Excuse me.

- Sorry, but I have a call from New York. I'll be back soon. Please wait here. - Okay.

Hello?

A public firm.

I know. But it's already impossible to get anything published on the 1SEG network.

If you get that, it shall be recognized, you pay money to us.

Porn site? You'll probably get an improper response unless the investment keeps up.

So please reconsider your plan. Okay, bye.

- Sorry for making you wait. Please sit down. - Okay.

Thanks for the other day.

The pleasure was mine. Your proposal was interesting.

Thank you.

But, to tell the truth, I think mobile phones are reaching their limit.

Or rather, I want to go outside the Japanese market too.

You do?

I have my hand in another venture which is going to include true electronic money.

Electronic money? Like SUICA or PASCOM cards?

[Prepaid travel cards used in Japan]

Look.

It's called Buddy and can be used when buying things on the internet.

- It can charge money online. - Electronic overseas transactions?

Electronic money companies are looking for a Japanese partner.

We're participating in that too.

You're right.

I understand.

- I'll think of another association. - Please do.

Now that the business is over, there is something I'd like to give you.

I ordered this as a special design.

It's designed for the head of this place.

- Excuse me? - That's a beautiful stone.

- It's a power stone, right? - May I?

It can only be mined in the Dominicans in the Caribbean.

Caribbean pearls are lovely. Do you like them?

Mm, yes.

- This is a beautiful place. - Thank you.

It leaves a wonderful impression on me.

Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers~

It tastes good.

Actually, I have a present for you today too.

Present?

I'm sure you'll like this kind of surprise.

You like it, right?

Things given to you for free.

It's a user card for the electronic money scheme.

- I don't do internet shopping... - Ah, me either.

Hey girls, I know you've just come, but would you mind leaving us alone for a while?

- Okay. - Excuse us.

Actually, this card can be used for interesting things beside shopping.

I've charged some money on this card.

The amount is $2,000,000.

US dollars?!

Just like using a money card on the internet.

This card has no conditions attached.

Also, you cannot trace where that $2,000,000 came from.

You access this charge site...

... and put the money from your bank account back here.

You select the bank details and amount of money, then type in your security number.

Charge from bank account Transfer from bank account

Your money was transferred normally Next Cancel

This is where it starts.

Do you want to delete details of this transfer? Yes No

Transfer details were deleted Close

Now all records of money being transfered from my account to here have been deleted.

Money laundering.

Terrific.

This multi-purpose magic card.

If you think your charge on this card was a bit risky...

- For example, if you buy a car here. - Thank you.

Thank you for your credit.

There won't be any records of this payment, so the dirty money will be erased from my records.

Then if you sell that car you'd bought, you wash it all away.

- Those clothes suit you, mate. - Thank you.

That dirty money comes back to you sparkling clean. Yay!

With this card you can fairly use the money you previously were stuck with.

Well, let me accept your gift.

Please do.

A magic card? That's incredible.

Well, you're free to use it as you wish.

Welcome.

I am the hostess, Sakura.

Please come to the Yukari Theater Society's presentation of "Julius Caesar."

Thank you.

Please come see "Julius Caesar."

Please come and see Yukari Theater Society's presentation of "Julius Caesar."

Ah...!

It's Yoshida.

I'm Yoshikawa.

- You spoke. - To be polite

Why?

I was given it.

From Tsurawa?

Brutus, even you?

Stop! Caesar, do it properly!

Why do you think I started this theatrical?

- To teach us the art? - No! So I can debut as an actress.

- You are... - Yukari!

I've finished handing out the pamphlets.

- I'll go home now. - Help us with the clean-up. - Eh? Again?

- How much work do you expect me to do? - Sorry. Here you go.

- So that's why you like to act out Shakespeare? - Yes.

Caesar was murdered just before he was crowned.

He was killed by one of his best friends.

Caesar didn't know of the conspiracy.

The tenth person to stab him was Brutus, to which Caesar said...

"Et tu, Brutus?" (Even you, Brutus?)

Brutus, even you?

It's a common story.

Ah, really?

Then could you tell me... how would you react if the person you trusted betrayed you? Show me?

Caesar was killed because he trusted him.

People make others trust them so they can betray and swindle them.

It's what you are always doing.

It is a very noble tale.

Around me are only people like Brutus.

It's an uncivilized world.

Ah!

- Um... - What?

- Have you got Ishigaki yet? - I've set up the booby trap.

I've set up an internet charge site which he can access.

When he types in his bank account details and adds money, it will look like he has charged money through that site.

But that is... a big, fat lie.

It's just a simple bank transfer.

200,000,000 yen?! ($2 million)

You...!

He's pretty rich.

The place he will transfer the money to is my online bank account.

Maido ari (Thank you)

- Okay, thanks. - You're awful!

Please! I'll pay you back with my part-time job money.

Ah, Kurosaki!

I won't forget you when I become an actress, Kurosaki.

- Let's get married when I'm working. - Could you let go of me?

Right, good luck with swindling. Bye!

Hey, Yukari!

Right.

- Ah, excuse me. - What?

You haven't paid your rent yet.

If I sell Yukari's costumes I could get some money.

You're still working part-time? How sad. You're poor.

Leave us alone! I'll bring you the money.

The man's body was pulled from the harbor. He was 28 year old company worker, Takao Reiji.

- Takao was... - Why did you just come in uninvited?!

At least take off your shoes!

They are continuing investigations at the murder site.

The police say they are following a line of investigation into his ties with gangs.

Ishigaki didn't use that money card.

It was his pawn, Takao, that used it.

Takao had a huge debt hanging over his head.

And Takao took the card to a gang that backs Ishigaki.

Please. I really need the money.

The 2,000,000 that was transfered to your bank account belonged to that gang.

That gang which had been tricked...

What are you doing?!

Hang on! Hey! Wait!

Mommy!!!

To clean up their mistake they killed Takao.

Does that murder have ties to Kurosaki?

Detective Kashina, here are the documents you requested.

But it's odd for someone so sharp to be caught up with killers.

Tokyo Central Intelligent Crime Enforcement Joint Investigation Unit

- Kurosaki must've been the most shocked. - Eh?

This is different from white swindlers. He isn't a murderer.

That is the tremor in his heart that let's him live as a black swindler.

- You should lay low.... - Let me speak to Katsuragi.

He's not here.

But there's a message for you.

Welcome.

Welcome.

I'm the hostess, Sakura.

I was told to speak to you about this guy.

A swindler who cons other swindlers?

That's what she need.

I know someone named Okekawa Reiko who needs your help.

She worked at my hostess bar.

I didn't come here just to chat.

It's nice you're so spirited.

Ishigaki is my family's arch-enemy.

Tocimoto Productions goes bankrupt !!

The start was the visit from Tochimoto small enterprises.

15 years earlier - winter 1992

- Hello. - Ah, hello. Ah... dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Mr. Tochimoto is here.

- Good to see you. - Ah, thanks.

A promissory note?

Yes. I'm sorry, but we'd like to pay you by promissory note rather than cash from now on.

- Promissory notes? - I'm sorry, but it is pretty tough for us right now.

It's fine. I trust you.

- Bankrupt? - I do apologize.

6 months later

Even if I pay it off, I'll be a failure. It's 30,000,000 yen! ($290,000)

In the end, my father's business went bankrupt.

It's like knocking down dominoes.

If one company goes bust, others follow. Over 100 companies were crushed like that.

Thousands of people in their families were left in trouble.

What is scary is that money is crucial.

You only paid 10,000,000 yen of your debt and then declared bankruptcy. Do something!

That's all you will do for us?

Tochimoto Productions Creditors Meeting

Calm down! Calm down!

We won't get anywhere with all this shouting.

Let's talk more calmly.

What do you think, manager? Don't you think your company could repay more money under different circumstances?

Eh?

Using your own personal money.

That's right! Yeah! You should do that!

Are we searching for a way to get at least a little more of our money back?

No.

We're wanting him to accept the blame.

That's right!

Swindling my father and being the perpetrator of his bankruptcy, that is what Ishigaki is really like.

What will you do?

I will be there to protect you.

You must be earnest.

No matter how earnest he was, he's still a swindler.

You're in the same boat.

Don't you get people to trust you and then con them?

But still... people may die.

It was Ishigaki who set up the trap to swindle your father.

But there was another people who created the plan.

A giant in the swindling world.

I got you ready, so I will use you as I see fit.

I am the same as you.

I had my family and life stolen by him.

Anybody in there?

It was okay? You tricked me?

Honestly, it's like looking straight at stupidity.

Give me back my family's money!

Dad!

Fifteen years ago Katusragi set up a swindling scheme that affected all of Japan's economic situation.

Because of that, Kurosaki's father got tricked by a swindler. Japan was in a deep depression.

Kurosaki's father had been laid off from his job and was desperate.

Because of that he was tricked by Mikimoto and killed his family.

Because of that.... Kurosaki became a kurosagi (black swindler.)

That was the end result.

Kurosaki's life had been directed by Katsuragi long before his father killed his family.

Where am I?

Don't be stupid.

You have the same past as I do. What did you want?

What did you expect to get from it?

Had you planned on making me come to that bar from the start?

You are always like that.

You knew me.

But you silently watched me.

Is using people as pawns in your game that much fun?

Answer me!

The way that incident ended wasn't your fault.

Was it that much of a shock?

You poor thing.

It wasn't your fault.

Et tu, Brutus? (Even you, Brutus?)

The truth of the matter is that those who are tricked will lose.

Tomorrow...

Again tomorrow...

Again tomorrow, again tomorrow, again tomorrow and...

He'll be back to being a puppet pulled by the master.

Life's but a walking shadow.

No matter what you do.

Lucky. You look to be having so much fun.

You look to be quite enjoying yourself too.

What were you planning on doing with this card Takao had?

Scam us yourself?

I wouldn't do that.

Aren't you testing us?

With our money.

Don't worry about it.

Having only one person die in this line of work isn't really all that bad.

- Check it out and you'll see Katsuragi isn't so bad. - Who is?!

He knows you better than anyone and is the only one near you.

- He is... - Your family's arch-enemy.

It's the boss, Mikimoto, right?

Even though he's your hated enemy, if he's nearby, your heart will naturally forgive him.

That's what humans are like.

If you don't devour Ishigaki, I will crush him.

Don't blur those lines.

There's a rule that you can't place it there.

I make the rules. Hm?

Here's the 2 billion yen for information, separate from the previous payment.

Ishigaki's company... I will tell you tomorrow... the final part of information you need about it.

You'll be stuck doing this for eternity.

I'm sick of luck and unexpected slumps.

What do you want?

Acting out Caesar. Shall we act out Caesar?

We each trust each other.

We'll place a bet on it.

If you win, you can do what you want with me.

If you lose, I won't sell you any more work.

Stop being a kurosagi (black swindler.)

Are you listening?

I'm listening.

Marine Blue Consultant

It's a company that consults on the efficiency of IT and corporations.

That's the front operation.

In other words, it's the front corporation. It has ties with gangs.

The number two, who has replaced Takao, is a man named Kishida.

Different from Takao, he doesn't have any debts and is very methodical.

Yes?

Boss, it's good to see you.

Marine Blue Consultant was a company formed to swindle money from bankrupt companies.

18 million yen... 20 million yen. ($190,000)

- Count it as revenue as usual. - I will, Boss.

Don't forget... you've already met Ishigaki before.

Thank you.

"Caribbean"

If he discovers you, it's over.

You'll be killed like a bug by the gang that backs Ishigaki.

Boom!

I know that.

Take care.

- Hello. - Hi.

Please be good.

Kurokawa Yasuo

PC Kings Company

I'm Kurokawa. Nice to meet you.

It's meant to be easy to do, lady.

- I don't need it. - It'll make you more beautiful. Your personality...

- I don't need it. Please...! - Whatever, poor!

- Huh?! - Don't you want the money?

What?! It's you!

You worked it out?

Wait up!

- Are you okay? - It hurts.

Not that. It seems that someone died...

You're somehow involved with what they said on the news the other day, right?

Hey, Yoshida...

My name's Yoshikawa!

You... worried about me.

Eh?

What do you want?

- You're so nosy! It surprised me. - Ha?!

Ah, I can see your room!

I see an idiot!

You're the one who's the idiot!

Idiot...

I'm PC Kings' Kurokawa.

- We already have a supplier. - Our company is very cheap.

Our specialty is digital color copy machines.

Mm... well, you really are cheap...

- How much discount could you offer? - Several thousand yen. It's worth it.

Mm...

- Kishida? - Yes?

- Ninomiya said he'll call back soon. - Ah, boss...

Manager, um...

Sorry, but we already have a supplier. Thank you for coming though.

- Kishida? - Yes, he's a salesman.

I'm Kurokawa from PC Kings.

Thank you very much for visiting my bar last week.

- Mr. Ishigaki? - No, it was my pleasure.

This is just a small token gift, but I hope for your continued patronage.

- Here you are. - Ah, thanks.

Thank you.

Have you gotten friendly with Ishigaki?

- What do you want? - What do you want with Ishigaki?

Don't get in the way with your petty scheme.

Do you still plan on continuing it?

It's your fault that someone is dead.

You're being used.

Excuse me. It's time for the bar to open.

It's me.

My work finished earlier than I'd expected.

I'll need a two ton truck full of digital color copiers.

- And Isahigaki's company... - I already have it ready.

This is the list of Ishigaki's swindling deals and the management entries from gangs he's associated with.

I know him better than he thinks.

I don't think it would be bad to stop being a black swindler.

You're being used yourself.

You're just in charge of caring for an old man.

You don't know the charms of an adult woman, do you?

And could you give me information about that Sakura lady.

She's the number one hostess in Ginza.

There must be more behind that lady too.

Mm... and then... here.

You got them.

Who are you?

Hello.

Really delicious takoyaki (octopus balls) that you can eat for free.

40% discount?

Yesterday my manager says he wants to establish a long relationship with Ishigaki.

It's hot.

Well... that lady the other day was so beautiful.

- I guess she must be your girlfriend? - Yes.

It's hot.

Could you put that one over here?

This is the last one.

- Has it all gone well? - Mm, it's over.

- Please sign here. - Okay.

PC Kings is an old company. There are no problems with its requests.

That Kurokawa guy checks out as well.

He's just an idiot who doesn't know about us.

You've done a quick job.

- Thank you. - Let's help each other out. - Eh?

Actually our company would like to purchase some computers next. About 100.

One hundred?!

Please do!

But we do have one condition, or rather a request.

Eh?

It is a huge order this time.

Okay.

So we'd like to pay by promissory note rather than in cash.

Promissory note?

Ishigaki always uses promissory notes.

First he purchases with cash to create trust.

Next he purchases things using promissory notes.

He takes the purchased copy machines or computers and changes them to cash through a dark route.

Then he declares the company bankrupt before paying off the promissory note, canceling the debt.

It is a common swindling pattern.

Ishigaki has created and crushed many companies through this method.

Have we gathered the evidence?

- We have yet to establish that. - That's insufficient.

Is the only way to catch these kind of swindlers to see if their plans go well or not?

It's up to you!

Ishigaki Tooru is a swindler who has been affecting the Japanese economy for 10 years.

- He won't be that easy to catch. - He's just a simple white swindler.

Let's issue a warrant for Ishigaki on that evidence.

Ha?

Ishigaki is involved in the gang which murdered Takao.

You don't need to see the murder scene, do you?

- Possibly. - I will gather the evidence.

We won't back down.

Our target is the guy who adversely affected the history of the Japanese economy.

I consulted my superior about the promissory note, but he got angry about it.

Our bank has advised us to keep the cash in our account for as long as we possibly can.

Well, could you possibly pay half of it, 6,000,000 yen ($57,000), by cash and the other half by promissory note?

Well... I'll put it here. Okay.

I lost again.

Please teach me the trick. The trick.

A few minutes to learn and a lifetime to master.

Yes?

It's the catchphrase of the Othello game.

Well, there is not trick to it.

Ah, of course.

Death is not noticing.

- Not noticing? - Othello is a game of chance.

Winning is a matter of calculating it.

Only those that are the best pupils of victory will win.

When the opponent finally realizes it, the master's answer is already evident.

- You mean when you notice it, it's already over. - Mm.

You've caught onto Othello.

You taught me so much.

I truly respect you!

- My manager just gets angry and doesn't teach me anything like this. - Oh my...

I am happy to be of assistance.

You're my mentor. Please let me get revenge.

Fine.

- About the payment? - No problem.

- We'll pay half by cash and half by promissory note. - Really?

But we'll pay the cash amount after we've received all of the computers.

- That's fine, right? - Yes. I'll consult with my manager.

Well then, this is the contract.

It looks fine.

- Here is the promissory note for 6,000,000 yen ($57,000.) - Let me check it.

As discussed, we will pay the remaining cash amount after we have received delivery of all of the goods.

Thank you very much.

That Kurokawa guy went home so happy.

Because he doesn't know that the promissory note we gave him is not worth the paper it's written on.

Boss, do you really plan on paying the 6,000,000 yen?

We'll resell the computers.

The computers which Kurokawa will deliver cost us over 10,000,000 yen. We'll be left with many computers.

Even if we pay 6 million yen, we'll be able to resell them for 200 million ($1,900,000)

- He'll be the one who loses in the end. - Okay, Boss.

"Caribbean"

Then I'll go on my much awaited Caribbean cruise.

A place with sunshine and cold beer.

It'll be nice to go on a leisurely vacation.

Are you okay with it?

Letting Kurosagi devour Ishigaki?

A sirloin steak of exclusive Matsutaka beef from a famous chef.

Seven Seas Hotel Tokyo

Fall special

I'm so hungry.

I won!

I love to win.

- Um... here and... - Ha? - Here... and here.

- Really? - Yes.

We had a call from a Los Angeles hospital saying they can suddenly fit her in.

- So Momoka can get her operation then? - Yes.

That's so good!

But, as we spoke before, it will cost 100 million yen ($950,000.)

Please pay 50 million as a deposit and transfer the rest by the day of the operation.

You mean by three days from now, right?

If you don't pay the deposit, we can't confirm the operation.

If you don't pay by 3 PM three days from now, the chance will pass to the next patient on the list.

"Bamboo-leaved Oak" Found in central southern Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. Also in southern North Korea.

Normally grows in mountainous regions. Has acorns.

I did some research on you.

After the creditors meeting, you met up with Ishigaki again.

Your father's company was visited by creditors.

You must get it!

Sakura's father's company - Creditors meeting

Please take what you want of my body.

- My heart or lungs or liver. - Stop it! Stop it!

You are... better off as a whole.

You planned on getting revenge on Ishigaki by yourself.

Ishigaki's a pro.

Much better than a hostess in a Ginza club.

You won't be capable of getting revenge for the past incident.

I wanted you to stop the revenge.

I had worked hard for 15 years in a host world that I wasn't made for.

It was because I believed I'd win against Ishigaki.

The only way to beat the past is to accept that past.

Stop acting for revenge. Begin a new life.

You think I've distorted my life?

Then why do your eyes look so sad?

Do you plan on living your whole life pretending to trust others and conning your own heart?

You're the same as I used to be.

Losing your family to a swindler.

That's not all.

Just like me... I almost let him take away my whole heart.

What will you do?

How much is she?

It was 15 years ago that he appeared at the meeting.

It was thanks to him that I came to my senses.

Could you let them off?

He saved my life.

Lost property box

You shouldn't do that by train.

The train will be messy afterwards.

He cheered me up and helped with the bondholders.

Pigeons meet from their chests.

They're beautiful.

I thought we loved each other.

Here you are.

Go ahead.

Open it up.

He wasn't that sort of person.

He had a clear aim.

He was stuck on Ishigaki and stopping his bankruptcy scheme.

He just happened to have chosen my father's company for those means.

He had only helped and cheered me up for those means.

So when it was over, he disappeared from my life.

He just wanted information about the bankruptcy scheme.

Stay away from him.

You should understand it.

He is a dreadful man.

If you're near him, your heart will definitely be stolen.

But there won't be anyone else left other than him.

He is snatching away your heart.

Ishigaki was like Brutus.

Ishigaki betrayed you.

That's why you sent me after him.

It's a game.

Look me in the eye and explain it.

Anyhow, I will devour Ishigaki.

But not for your sake.

I think that signals it's over.

About Ishigaki... he's leaving to the Caribbean.

On the final plane in three days time.

She needs the money by then to save her daughter.

If you don't hurry, it'll just be a matter of providing the funds.

Will you make it on time?

There's not much time.

Hello?

Long time, no see.

Ah?

Othello?

Every now and then.

Let's play again some time.

Mm.

I will have it ready very shortly.

Mm, just a moment.

Go ahead.

It's the final move in this swindling operation.

Sir, the phone's for you.

Ah, it's me.

What?!

It's actually all set for tomorrow.

I don't mind if you're not here in person. I'll be on a trip from tomorrow night myself.

- Eh? Oh, really? - Mm.

I'll taking a business trip to Osaka.

Ah... I lost again.

Well, I'll drop by again tomorrow.

I really would like to play another game of Othello with you.

And...

I got a ticket for a free meal at an exclusive restaurant.

If you're available, would you like to dine with me tomorrow?

I'll drop by to pick you up at 1 PM tomorrow.

- That's fine. - Ah... that's good. Thank you very much.

"Safe mobile phone for your children"

It's you again?

Give me back Reiko's money.

Reiko?

Okekawa Reiko.

You swindled everything she owned from her.

Ah...

- She said her daughter had a bad heart. - It's her mother!

Don't get worked up.

How dare you use her child.

She needs 50 million yen ($475,000) by 3 PM tomorrow.

I see.

If you don't give it back, I'll expose all your schemes!

My business dealings are all fine.

Actually, I'm at a crucial time in a deal right now.

I won't swindle anyone who knows what's going on.

If this current deal goes well, I will pay her money back.

I want to safely board my plane tomorrow.

You also want to have the money in your hands by 3 PM tomorrow.

We both have stakes in it. But... if my deal falls through, I won't pay back her money.

I wonder how things will go.

You also went from the very bottom to become number one.

How is it being a dissatisfied adult?

What will you use it for?

Don't use it for mischief.

You mustn't create mischief.

Right, mischief is bad.

Force phones out of range!!

Oh, oops. Oops. Sorry.

Hey, where are you off to?

Why am I doing this?!

I'm, like....

Ishigaki Tooru... and the gang boss, Hiramoto Shunsuke

We have both of them in our sights.

We have information that Ishigaki will flee the country that night.

Kurosaki will also make a move tomorrow.

But we must get in Kurosaki's way.

Right, let me explain our operational plan.

Yes?

Kurokawa?

I look forward to today.

No, it's my pleasure. Thank you.

And... I have a slight request.

Wait up!

Wait a minute!

I'm up against a white swindler, the police and a limited amount of time.

I will be sure to feed on Ishigaki.

The time limit is until 3 PM.

I've stopped the elevator.

Roger. First, check on Kurosaki's whereabouts.

We underestimated him.

"The treasure is in Marine Blue Consultant."

Oh no!

That surprised me! That was a close call.

- Search that floor. - Yes, sir!

This is the Tokyo Police. Don't move.

Don't touch a thing.

But hey... we, we, we... we can't have this.

What are you looking for? What is this?

Please hang on!

- The treasure must be here. - There's nothing here.

Delivery!

A delivery from Kurosaki.

Let me have it.

- Search the packages. -Yes, sir!

Hurry!

Watch out!

So sorry.

Wah! Ouch!

I won't use the elevator next time!

Quickly search them!

"Cleaning service"

- Don't pull your move on Ishigaki. - Ha?

I've made a deal with Ishigaki.

He said he'd give back Reiko's money if this scheme went through well.

Do you actually believe him?

A child's life is on the line!

I've told you before!

He is just using you.

You never say his name.

Are you still in love wtih Katsuragi?

You didn't accept your past. You ran away from it.

I chose my own path to trust.

In that case you should want to to stop Ishigaki too.

You could have chosen another path in life.

Get out.

- Ah, Boss? Good to speak to... - The number you are calling is currently out of range.

- Please try again when they are in phone range. - Oh, why...?

"Out of range"

Who are you calling?

Just let me be!

Mr. Ishigaki...!

I'm so sorry. I was running late. Sorry.

No way...!

I'm so sorry.

- Was it an important call? - No. It wasn't.

Ah. Well, I've reserved a private room, so I'll check on it.

Give it back!

It's me.

Ah, Boss. Good to hear from you.

- Are things going according to plan? - Yes.

How about Kurokawa?

He finished a short time ago.

Good.

- Let go of it! - Stay out there.

Hey...

But I managed to get them to accept the voucher.

Right... here is the remaining cash that I had promised you.

60,000,000 in cash. ($570,000)

Thank you very much.

It all seems to be here.

Right, let me have revenge before lunch arrives.

Excuse me! Get out of the way!

- Spread out. - Yes, sir.

You... gave us some worthless pieces of paper.

Hey!

Fall is about food. A wonderful lunch meal.

A sirloin steak of exclusive Matsutaka beef from a famous chef.

Kurosaki must be there.

A gorgeous meal

Why did your promissory note get round to us?

We also have a mountain of other such similar transactions. They are all worthless.

- They're frauds. - That isn't relevant!

The problem is that we've been paying you from our side.

We've been paying you cash.

Saying they're frauds so you can pay the money is not the problem. Right!

Sir...

Ah. Give us your bank card and keys to your safety deposit box.

We'll write it off then.

I know that you must be upset that your scheme failed.

Stop! Leave my body! Stop!

Stop! Ouch!

Ishigaki Tooru

Mm.

See you.

What's going on? What's going on?!

Ah, Boss. Good to hear from you.

It finished a short time ago.

When people have their heart set on something, they don't tend to notice things.

No matter who you call on that phone, it'll be connected to me.

Do you know the "kids phones?"

If you set the parental controls on it, you're only able to phone certain people on it.

So what?

That phone you're using has those limits imposed on it too.

Ishigaki's real mobile phone is this one.

I got the hint from Okekawa's daughter, Momoka.

When you finally notice, it is already all over.

That applies to both Othello and swindling.

Didn't you notice the money card?

Who are you?

The same as you... I'm a swindler.

My name's Kurosaki.

Or by another name: Alo~ha! My name is Tomozaki.

Or another name is: Hello. I'm PC Kings' Kurokawa. Nice to meet you.

My favorite food is white swindlers.

This is your job?

I'll give back all the money you swindled off others.

All of your deals will be reversed.

After saying you were a swindler, everyone was happy to give the notes back.

I'll convert your promissory note into cash.

Going round 10 different companies was tiring.

You little brat!

I managed to get about 200 million ($1,900,000) off you, but I'm sure you expected more.

- I've done it. - You added about 500 million ($4,800,000) by asking a fraud pro to help.

They looked real.

- What will you do with them? - But there was no point in holding onto them.

You wanted to make your company bankrupt then escape.

Ah, this is Kanda.

These notes are all fake.

So I needed to use your acquaintances.

Ishigaki's promissory notes?

I figured they were Ishigaki's weak point through their vague association with you.

They were thrilled.

Do what you want to him.

They seemed to have never considered that all your promissory notes were fakes created by your acquaintance.

This is the amount of your promissory notes

It is 500 million yen ($4,800,000)! But it was too heavy to bring all of it.

No.

Well, I have to hurry.

Katsuragi sent you?

Otherwise you couldn't have pulled your scheme off.

Because of the incident 15 years ago...

It has finally come back to bite me.

Do you want forgiveness?

I couldn't escape his line between right and wrong.

Hey...

Could you tell me one thing?

When do you plan to win?

Someday it will all be over for you too.

It won't be over.

Good guys have no limits.

Maido ari (Thank you.)

Puff! I made it in time.

Oh no!

Ouch! Ah, I tripped! Ah, I'll be alright.

Excuse me. Please wait. Wait.

Please! Let her have the operation. Please! Please!

Please!

Mommy...

Stay quiet for a second.

- Mommy... - Momoka?

If it's money, I have it.

He truly got it back for us.

Can Momoka get well with this?

You will.

Let's get you all healthy again!

Yay!!

Yay!

Don't die on me.

I'm not ready to give upon you yet.

Yes!

She appeared!

What do you want now?

- Please... accept this. - I don't need that.

I probably had been running away.

I forgot the past and believed that I could win.

But in the end I probably lost.

- I don't want to hear more about that. - But thinking that... is too hard to bear.

If you admit that, 15 years of my life will have been a lie.

I don't want to regret those days I fought so hard to forget about revenge.

So please let me think that I helped Reiko.

You're thinking too hard about things.

I don't think you running away from it was a bad thing.

It's okay to run away if you run with full speed.

Run.

Katsuragi is just a crabby old man.

That's fine.

The 15 years you protected yourself.

Why don't you use a lighter?

I forgot it.

Lost property box

Goodbye.

Hi, Yoshioka!

Hello yourself.

My name's Yoshikawa!

"Katsura"

If that crabby old man isn't going to be there, he should say so!

Today we arrested a white swindler.

We arrested Ishigaki.

Freeze!

Please accompany us.

- How scary. - Watanuki Yujiro.

He was the wire-puller behind Ishigaki and was the man who ordered the bankruptcy swindling scheme which Katsuragi planned 15 years ago.

The man who Katsuragi really wanted you to feed upon was Watanuki.

But I guess it's too late to play him now.

How do you feel having people die because of you?

I definitely won't ride in an elevator again.

That feeling.

Who is Watanuki?

I told you we're acting out Caesar.

Caesar trusted people who betrayed him.

Again tomorrow, again tomorrow, again tomorrow, again tomorrow.

That's all there has been since ancient times.

You may arrive at the final second after you've given up.

Life's a walking shadow.

Et tu, Brutus? (Even you, Brutus?)

Even you are a traitor.

I thought you weren't ready to feed on Watanuki yet.

That's why I didn't tell you.

But you fed on him brilliantly.

It was by accident, but you brilliantly ate him up.

Well done.

Well then...

I'll call this your win.

What shall we do then?

The same as always. Sell me some information.

I won't stop being a kurosagi (black swindler.)

One more thing.

Tell me where Mikimoto is.

Will you kill Mikimoto or trick him?

Will that make you feel better?

Will killing me make it all end?

What will you do after that?

It's just another notch as the clock keeps ticking.

You may arrive at the final second after you've given up.

Life's a walking shadow.

Stop it.

Mikimoto's coming back to Japan.

Don't be tricked again, Caesar.

This is not a play.

I will decide on the plot.

Bang!

If, just like Shakespeare said, life's but a walking shadow,

I will happily be a shadow until I die.

Until I devour all the white swindlers in this world, the curtain won't fall on my show.

My name is... Kurosaki.

I am a walking shadow.
