VELVET HUSTLER aka 'Like a Shooting Star'

Do you have anything smaller?

That's okay, I'll take a book.

Your change!

Directed by Toshio Masuda

I don't know whose car this is, but it's great.

Cars are like women: the faster they are, the better they are.

They become a habit.

This is a great car.

The steering is smooth...

and the accelerator fits like a custom-made shoe.

It's perfect.

- You didn't kill Kajima, did you? - Who knows?

I shot to maim...

but the stupid driver rolled the car over.

You promised not to kill him.

There's nothing I can do if he insists on dying.

Give me my ticket and money.

Listen, I'll speak to their family.

Be patient.

It'll take about six months, then I'll come and get you.

With their don down, they should be more cooperative.

I don't care, as long as you hurry it up.

Six months, 182.5 days is a long time.

See ya.

Hey, your bag.

One Year Later

Kobe

Can you see? You can see, can't you?

Tell us what's going on.

Hurry and tell us.

You're torturing us.

Why don't I look? My eyes are 20/20.

Shut up and be patient.

We'll see it when we see it.

Now, Keebo, just tell me what you see.

Hey, brother, it's here!

It's here, it's here!

It's time to get to work. Wake up!

It's time. Let's go. Hurry up, brother.

Hey, brother, come here.

Are you their boss?

I'll teach you some manners.

Get over here.

Okay, thank you.

I got it. Get ready. We have company.

This Vietnamese guy's been sleeping here since yesterday.

What a nuisance. Let's wake him up.

I feel sorry for him. Leave him alone.

You pervert!

Me, a pervert? Yeah, I'm a pervert!

You're raking it in, Goro.

I don't care. I'm just a hired hand.

Then I'll ask your Madam here for a free drink.

It's so hot...

It's tough working in this heat.

Our bar isn't like the newspaper you work for. We have overheads.

Goro, I've got a tip for you.

It's a great scam. I'll sell it to you for cheap.

- Are you interested? - Your tips are risky.

No way. It's a sure thing.

I can even prove it to you.

It's risky, because you're a rat. Before I know it, I'll be caught.

You're full of it.

I have a pretty good reputation in Kobe...

You're destroying our place.

- Hey, brother, you dropped something. - Let's see.

It's a highway toll pass from Tokyo.

Give it back.

It's still good.

Goro!

You idiot! Don't touch that.

It's kind of like his good luck charm.

Just like your pendant.

No one gets to see this.

We all know what it is.

If any of you touch this, I'll kill you.

Goro, what are you up to?

You look a little down.

Can't get caught looking too happy talking to a cop.

Yeah, right. I like people from Tokyo.

Just yesterday I received a gift from a captain in the Tokyo police.

Make sure you thank him, or he'll think Kobe cops have no manners.

He has no idea that you're a lowly cop.

You know what he said? He asked about you.

He's the detective who was after you last year.

Oh, that old crooked cop.

I thought he would have built a big house and retired by now.

He lost you, his big fish, and his reward money.

I could hardly stand to look at his pathetic face...

when he had you and couldn't put you away.

Makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

While you still have tears, you still have fire.

My life is full of passion. I'm committed to putting you away.

Your passion isn't appreciated here.

Once I've made up my mind, I follow through.

I won't get much rest, with you on my tail.

Don't worry. You'll have all kinds of time in prison soon.

That's if you don't retire first.

I'll get you before I retire.

It'll be a waste of the taxpayers' money.

Typical comment from someone who doesn't pay taxes!

Why should I pay taxes so cops like you can get paid?

There's no reason to take it easy on someone who doesn't pay my wages.

If you're doing your best now to put me away...

you'll be fired before you even take a wife.

I'll have to keep racking up my points until then.

I'll catch you later.

All right. Stay out of trouble.

I won't be careless enough to get caught by anyone but you.

Later.

This is crazy. It's completely unreasonable.

That's no way to make a deal.

People from Tokyo don't follow the rules.

If you can wait two or three days...

a ship from the west will arrive.

You've come all this way.

Why don't you wait?

Two or three days...

We'll take good care of you whilst you wait.

Goro, what's going on?

I know what you're here for. Wait in the other room.

You should wait. All right?

- Get out of our way. - Keebo! - You're still hanging around here?

Hey, leave my girl alone!

Shut up!

Who do you think you're dealing with?

I'll take your head off!

You'd better leave. He'd really do it.

You seem really busy. Are you making tons of money?

I sure am, thanks to Goro.

Goro!

It's getting pretty rowdy.

Would you like to come back with me?

This man's from Tokyo like you, Mr Kojima.

He's from our family there. He's Goro.

He's a talented, good guy.

If there's anything you need done, he's your man.

Tokyo must have changed in the last year.

- Why don't you just read the papers? - What part of Tokyo are you from?

Why should I tell you my address?

He misses Tokyo a lot.

He didn't mean to shoot off his mouth.

I don't care to associate with his type.

I don't deal with criminals.

Criminal, huh?

It's better than pretending to be someone you're not.

Goro, stop it. What are you doing?

- I'm sorry. - Goro, what happened?

Goro!

Goro, what are you doing?

- What are you angry about? - I'm trying to...

Come on. I love you.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

- I love you, Yukari. - Goro!

I love you, Yukari.

Don't watch me!

What's taking so long, Goro?

- Goro. - Here I come.

Couldn't you hear me? What're you doing?

- What is it? - Well, I was calling you.

Any liquor left?

You're so cold lately.

It's so hot. Great weather.

Don't you like me anymore?

If there's no sake, I'll take cola.

Just tell me straight if you don't love me anymore.

- I love you. Give me some ice. - You're lying!

You don't like me anymore. You just feel sorry for me.

- Water! - Goro!

I don't dislike you... I'm just tired of you.

Please give me a cola if there's no liquor left.

Tired of me? That's the same as not liking me anymore.

- Be honest! - You're wrong.

If you ask me whether I like you or not... I like you.

- I'm still sleeping with you. - Then what?

I'm just tired of fooling around with women.

- I'm a woman. - That's right.

So you're saying you're tired of me.

You're a woman. I guess that's what it means. That's right.

What am I supposed to do?

There's nothing you can do.

It's not only you. It's everyone.

The Seki family, Kobe...

The sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening.

And then tomorrow comes. I can't stand it. I'm tired of it.

What am I supposed to do about it?

I think about it... but there's nothing I can do.

Tomorrow will be the same...

and the day after tomorrow will be the same too.

You want to go back to Tokyo?

Tokyo - I'd love to go back.

Something will happen if it's meant to be.

Is there somebody special waiting for you in Tokyo?

Somebody special... running for your life...

getting an assignment to kill somebody- whatever.

Anything will do. Anything can happen in Tokyo.

Goro, wait!

Don't go back. Stay.

- I'll see you. - Tell me you love me.

- I already told you. - One more time.

I love you.

- See you. - Goro!

I hate you, Goro!

I hope you die!

- I'm sorry, brother. - What're you doing here?

Well, um, I've always watched you sitting here.

I wanted to see how it felt.

- I wanted to ask you something. - What?

- Well... Never mind. - What is it?

I've always wanted to ask you what you think about when you sit there?

I don't even know what I'm thinking.

I'm thinking about whether there's something worth thinking about.

I see.

There's nothing to do.

Just enjoying the view.

I don't know what's going on across the ocean.

Not knowing makes you feel there might be something going on.

Oh, there's something to do!

That ship is going to Vietnam tomorrow.

Let's sneak on that ship and go to war.

War is cool and lots of fun!

I just remembered the photographs of Vietnam I saw the other day...

People with their faces burned and their limbs ripped off.

Mountains of corpses - I almost vomited.

I think I'll stay in Japan. Japan is great.

Let's play some Shogi under the sun.

Let's play. That sounds great.

That's more our style.

Check out all this money!

You didn't see a damn thing. All right?

You didn't see a thing.

- Did you put oil in that ship? - It should last till Osaka.

Throw this thing in the ocean and weigh it down.

Jewellery Broker Disappears in Tokyo

Sannomiya Station

Usu, come in here.

What is it, Captain?

The daughter of the jewellery brokerage company owner is here...

to check on the case of the missing broker.

Her name's Keiko Shirakawa.

Could you give her an update?

Hey, Mr Usu!

- I don't have anything for your paper. - What a greeting!

Who is she? She's gorgeous.

- She's my lover. - That's impossible!

What do you mean, impossible? Don't we make a fine couple?

Sorry, I'll retract my statement.

Actually, she's a suspect in a homicide case...

we think she chopped off her husband's head.

Stop pulling my leg!

You don't think I'm going to tell you the truth!

Hey, wait a minute, Mr Usu.

We might be able to learn something if these guys would talk.

- What do you mean? - I'm talking about your Mr Kojima, who disappeared.

You can't be serious.

He's not the type who would hang around here.

Are you sure?

I got a call from Tokyo and checked out export companies...

who may have had relationships with Kojima or the Shirakawa Company...

- but I couldn't find a single one. - That's impossible.

My father tells me that we made four deals with companies in Kobe this year.

That leads me to one answer: they were involved with smugglers.

Smugglers?

He either got burned on a deal and ran...

or he's been killed.

That's a doubtful story.

Pardon me, but what is your relationship with Mr Kojima?

He's an employee at my father's company. Didn't I mention it?

Please sit down. In cases like this...

executives from the company or the owner usually investigate.

Kojima has been working for my father since he graduated from college.

He was completely in charge of buying.

Are you an only child?

- Why? - I just thought you might be.

Two coffees, please.

You're an excellent detective.

Thank you. Thanks for the compliment.

So he was to marry into your family?

- Sounds old-fashioned? - Not at all. It protects your family.

My father wanted me to marry Kojima.

I think Kojima wanted that, too.

He could have had both the company and me.

What about you?

- I was agreeable. - So, you were engaged to be married.

Men are all the same, aren't they?

But you have come all this way to look for Mr Kojima.

I was bored.

Did you have relations with him? Sexual relations?

Must I answer?

Well, the question isn't really related to the case.

I have.

I might have known. Excuse me for asking.

I don't want you to misunderstand.

It's not like we're in love with each other.

- It was bound to... - It was bound to happen.

- I didn't really care. - I understand.

What could you possibly understand?

I understand that the possibility of him embezzling is slim.

Is the fact that I came here so significant?

- Of course. - You really don't get it.

- I'm not here because I loved him. - So then?

So, Kojima might have run.

The important thing is that you are here.

He's got money, a good job and a woman.

You have your flaws, but you're quite appealing.

A little difficult to deal with, but quite attractive.

I can't imagine he would run off...

with just 20 or 30 yen. You're worth more.

That's a simple theory.

It might be simple, but that's what's generally thought.

Detectives can't afford to come up with complex theories.

Anyway, you should go back to Tokyo.

There's nothing for you to do here.

It's a free country.

You're being unreasonable.

We don't want any more incidents.

I'll think about it.

I'll take you to a hotel. Where do you want to stay?

- That's okay. - It's on the way.

I'd like to be left alone to think.

All right, then. Excuse me.

I saw you in front of the police station earlier.

Here's my business card.

- Hello. - No one's here.

I'd like to ask a question.

There's no one here. You heard me.

This is Seki Industries, isn't it?

Yes, but as you can see, no one is here.

How about you?

Me? I don't count.

Even if you were here to rob us, I still wouldn't be here.

- I'm not here to rob you. - I didn't think so.

What do you want?

I hear that you smuggle jewellery.

Wait a minute. I'm not here after all.

You shouldn't use words like 'smuggle'.

What if someone hears you?

Where did you get your information?

- Mr Kuroiwa, a newspaper reporter. - Oh, him!

Once or twice a year he writes a newspaper...

that's covered with advertising. What did he charge you?

- Huh? - He never gives out information for free.

50,000 yen.

For that amount of money, he'd confess to his own crimes.

He played you for a fool.

He told me not to tell anyone his name, but I told you.

That's pretty good.

He cons people for a living, but is dumb enough to reveal his name.

- Is it true about the jewels? - I told you, I'm not here.

Did a man named Kojima come here for dealings?

Kojima?

Who are you? Why do you want to know?

I'm engaged to him.

He took my father's money and split.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Never mind. I'm going to the police.

I won't stop you. This has nothing to do with me.

People like you should be in prison.

Just a minute.

I thought you weren't here.

I just got here. Did you say Kojima?

- I've heard of him. - You have? - But not here.

- Where my homies hang out. - Your homies?

My friends. I'll ask them, if you like.

You wanna come with me?

You're nicer than you look. You're kind.

- You're not going to the police? - I won't report you.

That's very kind of you.

It's so hot... Is this your first time in Kobe?

I was here once before, when I was a student.

When was that?

What year in college was I?

So, you're a college graduate.

- Is it far? - Where?

- To your friend's place. - I don't know.

- I should have left my suitcase. - Pardon me.

So, you're not familiar with any interesting places in Kobe?

- What interesting places? - Interesting places...

Dance clubs, bars, cabarets...

gay bars, bath houses...

- Kobe's a vulgar place. - Vulgar...

Vulgar?

I suppose you like a bit more refinement.

You don't think refined places are interesting, right?

That's not true. They're great for sleeping with women.

- Who do you sleep with? - Who cares who I sleep with?

You're vulgar, too.

Vulgar is more interesting.

Maybe...

Then, let's go.

Where?

An interesting place.

- When? - Now.

What about your friends?

Oh, you're right.

This student grabbed me by the collar and attacked me from behind.

- So, they beat you up? - Take a look at my face.

You look like you collided with a utility pole.

Stop making fun of my elongated face.

- Then what happened? - I don't remember...

but they kept pounding me 20, 30 times.

- It sounds pathetic. - I was.

These young students are rotten these days.

- Worse than yakuza, huh? - Damn right.

You should eat some hay until you feel better.

- Hay? - See ya.

- Are you leaving already? - I've got somebody waiting.

- I thought you wanted something. - I already got it.

I just wanted to talk to you. Bye.

How was it?

He didn't know anyone by the name of Kojima.

Your conversation looked interesting.

He suggested we go to Fukuhara.

- Fukuhara? - An old whorehouse.

- No. - It'll be fun.

- No. - I knew you'd say that.

I've been waiting for you since morning.

- Don't tease me. - Why not? Don't you enjoy it?

- Well, I guess I do. - Someone told me you'd be here.

- Who told you? - That's not important.

Who was it? What was his name?

I don't remember. I was drunk.

- Are you still drunk now? - No, I'm sober.

He said you'd fine me here?

Yeah. This is a pleasant surprise.

- Why? - Meeting someone as pretty as you.

- What do you say? - What do I say about what?

Do you want to sleep with me?

- You and me? - Yeah, you and me.

Who else would I be talking about?

- When? - Right now. I'm a busy guy.

I've got somebody waiting for me.

What if Yukari finds out?

- You know Yukari? - I know Yukari, you cheat!

- Then I'd better not. - I suppose it's best.

- It's too bad. - Yeah, it's really too bad. Really.

- Bye. - Bye.

Say hi to Yukari!

What a horrible woman. She's dumb and way over the top.

I wonder if we'll find your friend.

- Will you see me after we find him? - Why?

Because I like you. What about you?

But I thought you already liked someone.

I did, but that's in the past.

- And you? - There's no one. - That's good.

Why is that good?

It means that I have a chance.

I wish I could go back to Tokyo.

We could be speeding in my car.

What kind of car do you have?

A red Jaguar just for you

I would give it to you

I really love you

and only you

I wonder what happened to my car... It'd be cheaper not to pay parking fees.

Tokyo's such a bore. It's so pretentious.

It's boring because I'm not there. I'm a deep person.

Why did you come to Kobe?

I wanted to travel.

- You certainly are different. - What do you mean?

You're not like the women in Kobe.

How am I different? Am I strange?

Well, this area... this area...

and this area...

And your scent; it brings back memories.

You smell like women in Tokyo.

Don't be stupid. People are watching.

What's wrong? I'm just enjoying your scent. It's in the air.

Don't walk so close to me.

That Goro! I'm telling on him.

Hi there. I want the best room you have.

- Who's she? Where's she from? - That's not your business.

I'll let you stay here, but don't do anything stupid.

She's not your kind of girl.

I'm so tired.

Too bad... there are no stars out.

Are you concerned about tomorrow's weather?

Who cares about the weather?

I can't figure out my luck unless I see the stars.

- Your horoscope? - Do you believe in astrology?

- No, it scares me. - I believe it...

Last night, it told me I would meet an incredible woman.

You're that woman.

It said that it would be fantastic to sleep with that woman.

- You're lying. - I am.

I have no idea how to read the stars.

- I'm going to sleep. - Go ahead.

- I want you to leave. - Why?

Well, why are you here?

I want to sleep with you.

- I just met you today. - So your answer is no?

I don't know anything about you.

Besides, men and women need to get to know each other sincerely.

Women always say that you have to get to know each other.

How can you truly learn about another person...

even if you spend a lifetime together?

You don't. You just pretend to.

So, there's no point in waiting until you get to know each other.

If a man and a woman want to sleep together, they should.

Are you being sincere?

Of course. I couldn't be more so.

- You amaze me. - Did you go to bed with Kojima?

No.

I guess I believe you.

Women can never make up their minds. They think it's such a big deal.

That's a man's argument.

Okay. Let's do this...

What if I did this?

I'd slap you!

That hurt! I haven't done anything yet.

Men always say that they haven't done anything.

Okay, then I'll do something.

Ouch!

Goro.

I know. I haven't done anything yet.

You are both the worst.

- And what about you? - Who, me?

I'm the worst, too.

Goro's really a good guy.

You may not think so.

He means well.

He's refreshing, like a small child.

But he's a yakuza.

He's charming, but a gangster nevertheless.

What are you trying to tell me?

I don't have to tell you...

anything.

You look like a smart girl.

Good night. I hope you sleep well.

- I'll make you a delicious breakfast. - Good night.

I will pray for you

I can never go back to last summer's love

Here they go again.

It's amazing...

That's the 14th couple I've seen.

Why do men and women like it so much?

Well, what do you think you were doing last night?

I know. I'm amazed at myself, too.

- You have a point. - Don't you get started.

- Is that the guy? - Yeah, that's him.

I knew it!

It stinks in here.

I knew I smelled a rat!

I knew that guy was bad news.

Hello? Yes.

- Keebo? He's not here. - I'll take it.

Listen! That man's here to see Goro.

Has he already seen him?

No, not yet. But it's pretty deserted around here...

and he might try to kill him.

Fool! Don't just stand around! You have to do something!

What should I do?

You have to find a way to stop him.

But I'm scared! That guy gives me the creeps.

Don't be scared. Men are all the same. You can distract him.

I'll try, but hurry!

You'll have to detain him until I get there. Okay?

Dead Body Found on Mt. Rokko

You must be from Tokyo. I love guys from Tokyo.

- Of course, the women in Kobe are the best. - Well, thank you.

What're you doing in a place like this?

There's nothing to see here. I know a great place we could go.

They're even open for dancing during the day.

There's booze and drugs and tons of pretty women.

Are you finished talking? You have a cute face...

especially when you look scared.

You talk a little too much.

You should go now.

Go drink, take drugs and dance.

I'll sleep with you next time.

Now, get up...

turn around...

and walk.

Hey, brother, put your hands up.

We need to talk.

That's quite an unpleasant greeting.

If you don't talk...

it will become more unpleasant.

Koko! Find a motor boat. Any will do.

Here's one.

- Let's hear what you have to say, boy. -"Boy"?

I don't have to take that from a man like you.

Huh?

Here's a guy that I respect most in the world.

How dare you come from Tokyo to stalk him?

What've you got to say? I'm on to you!

- I came to kill him. - I knew it!

Waving a gun around...

means someday you'll take a bullet, too.

Cause and effect. That's the way the world works.

Let's say your bullet hits me here, boy...

then somebody comes and hits you, boy...

Stop it! Why do you keep calling me "boy"?

I'm just trying to teach you how the world works.

Shut up!

Besides, Goro can't go on living like this.

If I don't kill him, someone else will.

That's Goro's destiny.

That's why I should kill him.

You idiot! That's just what you think.

You've killed your share of people.

Why don't I just kill you right now?

- Fool! That's where you're wrong. - What?

I'm not a human being...

I'm a robot who kills for money.

That's where you and I are different.

Are you finished talking?

'Cause if there's anything else you want to say...

You're doing it wrong, boy. Your fingers are trembling.

Oh, I know: I should've brought you a water pistol to play with.

- What do you think? - Shut up!

I don't want no trouble.

No trouble. Drive to the Sannomiya Police.

- Let me off. - Wait a minute.

I want you to see something. Wait 10, 20, 30 minutes.

What's this about?

What can there possibly be at the police station?

So, how are you? Did you sleep well?

It's not a great hotel, but at least there're no bedbugs.

Kobe's famous for sake, beef, rice crackers and bedbugs.

Get out of this car. You're like a bedbug.

Me? That's pretty good. Did you enjoy your breakfast?

Plain omelette and black coffee.

Come to think of it, I haven't had breakfast yet.

Are you planning to eat in the buffet on the bullet train?

No, that food's terrible. I'll just breathe in...

some of the delicious Kobe air. The whole city smells like the sea.

Not Tokyo. Tokyo smells like smog, pollution and sewage.

I thought you missed Tokyo.

That's a different story.

Hey, Usu.

What're you doing here? Turning yourself in?

You're a great detective, just like that one on TV.

You're always in the right place at the right time.

You're an unusual pair.

Can't figure it out, Sherlock Holmes?

I may have a few theories.

I wanted to show Miss Shirakawa this corpse.

Take us to the city morgue.

- Huh? - You know, the place where they store bodies.

- What's wrong, Goro? - I'm not coming in; I'll wait here.

I get a little nervous.

I wouldn't go in there if my own father were the dead body.

That's convenient. I mean, after all the corpses you created.

Watch it. Not in front of the lady.

Please.

Well, is it Kojima?

It is, isn't it?

Goro, you knew it was Kojima.

Who killed him?

When and where did it happen?

I don't know anything.

That's right...

You never know anything.

You never do anything.

Well, then... I'm in the middle of a date.

I was drunk in Ginza one day.

My girlfriend came after me and got run over by a car...

right before my eyes.

She was the kind of girl who never wore a bra.

Her breasts and face were lying right there on the asphalt.

Seeing your lover dead is devastating. And I was thinking...

it's wrong for the Japanese to assume...

that the dead have gone to a better place. Don't you agree?

A criminal will always be a criminal and end up in hell.

I'll definitely end up in hell.

But that Kojima...

there wasn't anything good about him.

He was selfish and cold-blooded.

The worst thing about him was that he was a complete fraud.

He's better off dead. It's better for Japan...

but more importantly, it's better for you.

He didn't deserve you.

You were engaged to him...

and you say you didn't sleep with him, but you probably did.

Just thinking about it makes me angry.

What's your point?

I want to sleep with you.

Now that I'm available?

I felt that way last night.

Are those the only words you can say to a woman?

What I want to say is that I like you.

I'm not sure if I like you.

When will you know?

Maybe today, maybe in two weeks, maybe in six weeks.

Women are so indecisive.

A man and a woman should know how they feel after one look.

I've made mistakes in the past.

Can't you make a decision today?

I may decide not to like you today.

I'd have a problem with that.

There are lots of fun places in Kobe, right?

- You were telling me yesterday. Take me. - Well...

Take me. Take me now. Hurry.

Hey, there. I don't mean to intrude.

Just seeing you here is an intrusion.

Now, now.

I'll need to borrow him for three minutes.

- Where'd you get that? - Keebo's dead.

He's been murdered.

He was shot all over and came floating up in the harbour.

It was a real violent crime.

This must be real hard on you.

He really had a lot of respect for you.

Goro, a man like you couldn't possibly leave this alone.

You'll find the killer and kill him with your own hands.

But the next time you kill, you'll be convicted.

I'll put the handcuffs on you myself. Think about it.

Sorry, but your theory is mistaken.

Nothing will bring him back from the dead.

Besides, I don't have time for that now.

I've got my hands full.

See ya.

I love you, Goro.

I love you.

From the moment I met you...

I knew we'd be together.

I love you, too.

What's wrong?

- I've got to go. - Goro!

Wait. What's going on?

Tell me!

Are you trying to humiliate me?

- Is this revenge? - No, that's not it.

Something's come up.

There's something I've gotta do.

"Hotel Golden Key".

Goro!

Wait. I'll save you.

You've come from the Kasumi Family to kill me.

Why did you kill Keebo?

- Are you gonna kill me? - Yeah.

But, Goro...

even if you kill me, someone else will come and kill you.

You think the Kasumi Family is after you...

but you're wrong.

Your own Family's got a contract out on you.

A tough hand for the yakuza.

The two Families can't keep on feuding forever...

so they joined forces.

The only complication is you. You killed the head of the Kasumi Family.

You killed for your Family, and now they turn their backs on you.

I feel for you.

There's no place to go.

You're finished.

Koko, hurry up. We've gotta go.

Goro!

What's happened?

- You've heard about Keebo, haven't you? - I got my revenge.

You didn't... You did?

I don't have time for details.

Take care of her.

- Wait! - Goro! - What? I'm busy. Hurry.

- Do you have someplace to go? - Of course not.

The Taikaro Nankinmachi...

There's a secret room on the second floor.

Tell them I sent you.

That's good.

- But... - Don't worry.

I'll think of what to do next.

Madam.

An old friend of mine works on a freighter.

I asked him to do me a favour and smuggle you on board.

- Where to? - To Manila.

- Manila? - Here are the tickets.

It leaves at 2:00 in the afternoon.

One of the tickets is yours, Yukari.

No, no, I'll have to go...

but Yukari here...

- I want to go! Please take me. - Go...

Goro can't even take care of himself. Take good care of him.

Be careful not to do anything stupid again.

- Madam, thank you. - Why're you crying?

I've never been comfortable with the idea of sending Goro overseas, until now.

I feel better, knowing that you'll be with him.

Goro, take care of Yukari.

She's a good girl, and what's more...

she loves you.

Don't let her down.

Why do you both look like you're at a wake?

We should be celebrating with champagne.

Give me both your hands.

Yukari, take care of Goro.

And Goro, you take care of Yukari.

- I'll have to pack for him. - I'll do it.

Okay, you help me. You can catch up with him on board.

Madam, thanks for everything.

I hope I'll be able to repay you one day.

I'm Goro's boss, Onuma.

I understand you took good care of him.

Goro's spoken about you. So, you're Mr Onuma.

We finally cleared away our problems in Tokyo and now this.

It's dangerous for him to stay here.

If I can bring him back to Tokyo safely, we'll take care of him.

That's why I'm looking for him. Can you help us?

Sure. Goro will be happy to hear this.

He's been waiting to get back to Tokyo.

We'll do everything we can to help...

but we don't know where he is.

Please call us if you hear from him.

If you don't, someone might get hurt.

Hello, sir. It sure is hot again today.

- Are they from the Family in Tokyo? - Well...

You can tell me the truth.

Are they here to kill Goro?

What a thing to say! I don't know what you're talking about.

I might as well give up without your cooperation.

I guess I'll continue to follow those guys for a while.

What's wrong, Yukari?

- You look pale and you're trembling. - It's nothing.

Well, I can't blame you for everything that's going on with Goro.

You should give up on him...

He's a loser.

Wanted: Sugimura Goro

Are you Keiko Shirakawa from Tokyo?

It's time for your flight.

Thank you very much. Is this your luggage?

Please hurry. The bus is leaving.

Please hurry.

What's the matter?

I've changed my mind.

I've found you at last.

I wanted to see you.

What a lucky guy I am! Really lucky.

- I'm glad you found me. - Where've you been?

- Well... - Tell me you've been looking for me.

- Okay, you're right. - I knew it!

I saw the newspaper.

People who read newspapers are stupid.

What good's reading about strangers? It makes no difference.

But you were in the newspaper.

No one knows me better than I know myself.

- I suppose you're right. - Let's just enjoy the view...

It brings back memories.

It's a nice view.

It'll be my last time to see it.

What do you mean?

Do you want to go to Manila?

I'm not interested in going to Far East Asia.

- I'd rather go to Paris. - Paris is boring.

The Champs Elysees, Montmartre, Luxembourg...

It's the season of falling leaves.

Lovers walk through the falling leaves in Montmartre.

- Doesn't it sound wonderful? - I don't think so...

I don't like autumn.

Besides, that's just what people say.

People lie all the time.

A sailor once told me that Paris isn't that good at all.

It's too hot or too cold, and everything is really expensive.

The lifestyle isn't that great and the people are snobs.

Parisians are beautiful.

I suppose there are a few pretty ones...

but the girls in Tokyo and Kobe are pretty, too.

What's so great about Manila?

Manila's great. It's summer all year round.

- It's too hot. - It's hot here, too.

It's the same as here.

It won't kill us. People do live here.

But why Manila, all of a sudden?

Because that's where we're going.

- What do you mean, "we"? - You and I.

I'm sick of Japan.

Manila's the perfect place for us to live.

See these?

What are those?

They're like tickets to board the ship.

This one's yours, and this one's mine.

Aren't they beautiful?

Just like lovers - no, like a married couple.

I really love you, Mr Goro.

Call me Goro. I'm not so formal with you.

Okay, Goro.

How does it feel to be a stowaway? It feels great.

You feel all nervous and excited. I feel like I'm drunk on fine wine.

Yes.

I always feel this way. It's an exciting feeling.

How do you feel when you kill someone?

- I don't remember. - You're lying.

- Scared. - Even you get scared?

Of course. Your life is on the line.

You're so scared, you practically black out...

and your arms and legs go numb.

- Aren't you scared of getting caught by the police? - That's different...

You feel as if you've come up against a wall.

Hitting the wall won't kill you.

You can't climb up it, either.

And, when you try to turn back, there's another wall.

I'm afraid of being bored...

living behind walls for the rest of my life with nothing to do.

I couldn't bear it.

Wait here. I need to make a call.

- Goro. - What?

- Nothing. Hurry. - Okay.

Goro, where are you?

I'm being watched.

Hello, it's Yukari.

What are you doing? Are you all right?

I'm all right. Don't worry.

I need to be patient, then slip out.

I'll come and get you. Tell me where you are.

No, don't come. You'll attract attention.

Stay there.

I'll pick you up later.

Yeah. Don't worry about being late.

I called the ship, and they're departing late.

Don't make me repeat myself over and over.

It'll be all right.

Okay. That's enough.

I'm not going to take you if you don't calm down, okay?

I wonder what happened?

He's a different person from last night.

Shit! Where'd they go?

- Are you finished? - Yeah, I'm finished.

- Me, too. - Let's go.

Can you see it? It's that ship.

It's a big ship.

They all look big from close-up.

We're off to Manila.

- Good things await us there. - I hope you're right.

I've always dreamed of this...

going to a foreign land with the woman I love.

No more criminal acts. Just relaxing.

Sleep at night, wake up in the morning.

I ask for coffee and you bring it to me.

We face each other and drink our coffee.

I say, "It's so hot today; I think I'll go swimming."

You say, "I don't know how to swim." then I say, "I'll teach you."

- I can't go. - What did you say?

- I'm not going. - Have you lost your mind?

No, not at all. I can't go, and you can't go either.

I can't go either? What do you mean?

I'm such a fool.

I think I'm falling in love with you.

I didn't think it was possible.

It scared me and then I...

And then you...?

I called... the police.

You can hear them now.

They'll be here any minute.

Say it again.

I thought you loved me.

I told you, men and women are different.

I love you.

I love you to death...

but I couldn't bear living with you.

You couldn't bear it?

The police are coming.

Aren't you going to run?

You can still make it.

Why don't you hurry?

I can't believe you betrayed me.

I'm not running anymore.

Bye.

When you find another guy, be sure to sleep with him.

Wait, Goro!

It's you.

No handcuffs for me.

Goro, drop your gun!

Stop! Stop, or I'll shoot!
