With only hours left until the new year,

Shibuya is packed with people welcoming the new Millennium.

Excitement builds as the countdown approaches its peak.

Just four songs remain from our review of the year's top hits...

Hoping the new year will be a happy one here is the latest song from...

Come on!

I'll go check.

In 2 hours and 28 minutes...

the 21st Century will be with us.

Let's look back on this last century

and make a wish for the new one.

I think we're safe.

You sure?

Did you get enough?

I had to stop half way through.

Are you in pain?

Not for long. I'm giving up.

How can you say that?

I saw everything I wanted to see...

What will I do without you?

Find another "friend".

That's easy for you to say.

I'd love to see the ocean again...

Let's go then.

And so we reach the start of a new year

full of hopes and dreams.

Resistance to new anti-immigration laws

turned violent today

in Mallepa's southern district.

This area is mostly inhabited

by poor Japanese immigrants

who have been worst hit

by the recent economic downturn.

Such frustrations are thought

to play a part in today's demonstrations.

Casualties run into the thousands

but confirmation is still pending.

According to police reports

stability has been restored tonight.

As a Special Economic Zone, discrimination doesn't exist.

Mallepa's founding principle is tax- free growth

for people of all races.

Sho!

It hurts! Help me!

What're you doing? Clear off!

You go that way.

Are you okay?

Go away.

What's wrong?

Leave me alone.

It won t open.

You can't use wire.

Watch out.

Don't be dumb.

Open up.

Come on...

Shit.

Careful.

I did it.

Toshi, look.

Fantastic!

Sho, look.

Wow.

We did it.

We're rich!

Can we buy a house?

Yes, of course.

Let's leave this place.

I wanna see the snow...

Little Jap bastards...

Hand it over.

Put it all back.

This too, yeah?

RUN!!

Sho, run!

Don't move.

Shinji!

Go get the other kid...

or I kill this one.

Now!

Filthy punks.

Toshi. Toshi.

Get out of here.

What's going on?

Your friend... he's a monster.

Stay here.

Come back.

Sho.

Sho, don't go.

Aren't you afraid?

To your right!

Okay, I got it!

Here he comes.

Left.

Right.

Left.

Sho, are you concentrating?

Next, watch your left.

This gun's no good...

Ouch.

There's a hole in your jacket.

That cost me a lot, assholes!

Here we go again.

Stay out of this.

What about some gratitude?

Bullets can't kill you, so stay still.

They still sting, though.

Okay, okay.

You can do it if you try.

It's easy to say...

when you can't be killed.

That s Toshi's pizza...

Kei. Kei.

Let's go.

Not as much as I thought...

You checked all the bodies?

Of course.

I didn't waste time with toy cars.

Very fishy.

Get lost.

Most suspicious...

See.

Piss off.

I'll make it up to you.

Got a big job lined up.

You're all talk.

And you didn t put enough drugs in the pizza.

The guards were still awake!

We all make mistakes...

Cigarette.

What are you doing?

It should work.

Trust me, Sho.

I do.

What are you two doing?

I'm going back to work.

Watch. I'll get it.

Toshi, take care.

Pretty cool, huh?

This is what it looks like...

It's been so long, I'd forgotten...

It'd be beautiful in the sunlight.

The waves sparkling. ...

Let's go. Sun's coming out.

You go. I've had enough.

Let's go. Come on!

Go... by yourself...

"We watched the setting sun."

"A perfect orange glow."

"Both about to cry."

"For our final farewell."

What's up?

Are you okay?

That same dream?

I'm fine.

You should get out more.

It's fine. I don't want a tan.

Let's spend time apart.

What do you mean?

Don't adjust your life to mine.

Enjoy yourself while you can...

...before you get old.

Remember, I won't age.

Not this again!

Mallepa is full of immigrants...

different races,

all coming and going,

minding their own business.

And that's how we get along...

I've fed on some many evil men...

I'm becoming like them.

I might turn on you.

As if you'd dare.

Jerk.

What are you doing?

What's with him?

Poor fish. He's ill. He'll die.

Chuck him then. It might be contagious.

Your brother's on the roof.

No need to get upset.

Shinji.

What's up?

What the hell are you doing?

Nothing much.

Were you doing drugs?

Get lost.

Stay still.

Pardon me.

Where's the cash?

Today's takings...

It's been kind of slow...

How dare you!

What's this?

Take it and go.

Speak Cantonese to us.

Take it and fuck off.

Shut your mouth!

Watch yourself.

Did he say what I think he said?

He thinks he's got balls.

Let's go.

Let go.

Don't pity me. ...

Which restaurant?

'Happy Pizza' on the Westside.

An older gentleman called

said you guys were probably hungry.

Really.

Hey, it's a present from the bosses.

Please enjoy your meal.

How come I'm always the errand boy?

Why me?

Toshi did okay after all...

What's going on?

No idea.

Heads up.

They're early...

He s blown our cover...

Who are you?

My question, too.

It's none of your business.

What's going on?

More of 'em than I thought...

A lot more...

Join forces?

Not much choice.

Put the cash in here!

What a mess.

Hello, Happy Pizza?

We're kind of busy right now...

What's wrong? Help me.

Here he comes...

Hello?

One anchovy and cheese...

Quiet, please!

And the other one?

Get out of here!

Who are you?

Son Tin-Chen,

The brother of Son Yi-Che.

Who's that?

A girl you bastards raped...

Oh, her.

Boy, did she moan.

She seemed to enjoy it.

You're a dead man!

You reckon?

Don't...

Don't...

That looks painful.

He's toughing it out.

It must hurt.

Don't be brave. You can cry if you want.

"Mom, it hurts... it hurts..."

Ouch!

Thanks, Yi-Che. That's good.

The slow ones get hit.

He's right.

We'll see next time.

She'll look at you now.

Me? I'm fine.

Don't!

Have her take a look.

I can smell the blood from here.

Don't risk an infection.

I can still walk.

Quickly.

Shut up.

Yi-Che, look after him.

What's wrong?

I'm getting some fresh air.

The slow ones get hit...

Get lost.

It hurts...

He's gonna cry...

Clear off.

That stings. Be careful...

Kei, what are you doing?

Look at that moon! I've never seen it so big.

Can't keep quiet, can he?

It's so beautiful.

Yi-Che suddenly stopped talking when she was a kid.

Don't you dare fall in love.

Touch her and I'll kill you.

Of course I won't.

You fell for it.

I did not!

You sure?

Of course.

Really?

Really.

You're going too fast.

That's what cars are for.

You got a licence?

Of course not.

Then let me drive.

Piss off.

Then let me out!

What's going on? Don't speak Japanese!

Sho's never driven before...

so Toshi wants to get out...

Our lives are in the hands of an idiot!

But we're idiots for trusting him!

It's pitch black!

You can't see a thing!

What are we doing here?

It's nice at night.

Enjoy it for what it is.

It's so beautiful.

It's what they call, 'romantic'.

'Romantic'

We re taking a picture.

Come on.

Line up.

What's that piece of junk?

20th Century, top of the line.

A collector's item.

I hate people who can't appreciate value...

Here we go...

Smile.

Isn't it too dark?

Just shut up.

Let's come back in daylight.

Good idea. A proper day out.

Smile then.

It's okay to smile sometimes...

You're all full of shit.

I know more about chickens than you ever will!

You've got more complaints?

Oh, it's you. What's up?

How come you re here?

None of your business.

I thought you were the butcher grumbling about my birds.

I see.

They look healthy to me...

Join us for lunch.

Yi-Che is a great cook.

That's nice.

Don't just stand there...

Domestic bliss.

The taste of home-cooking.

Not something we know, huh?

I'm having more.

This is lovely.

What's up?

Here she is.

That s disgusting!

Gross.

Look who's talking!

Didn t your parents teach you manners?

I have no parents.

Me neither.

I know that.

They're pretty.

Very.

Wipe your mouth.

Wow, that s amazing!

She's going to be a famous artist.

It'll be finished tomorrow.

We're having a small ceremony.

Will you guys come?

Wow... Proper invitations.

Cool.

I'll bring pizzas.

Not drugged ones.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Will Kei come?

Is he okay? He looks terrible.

He's fine, He's fine.

I'll do my best to make it.

Don't worry.

How is it?

Lovely weather.

Really...

Perfect for Yi-Che's big day.

You don't drink blood these days.

It's none of your business.

But you're so weak...

Should I drink yours?

I live by draining the lives of others.

You know what that's like?

That's my entire life.

Sometimes I can't bear it.

So I go without.

A starvation diet.

Now I'm having fun with you all...

...but it's not real.

You're all growing up.

I'll be left behind.

One day, you'll die.

But I'll keep living.

You think that's fun!?

You cry baby...

Just like when you were a kid.

So...

Go have a good time.

They'll be worried.

Toshi, you got a call.

Hello, this is Toshi.

Really?

Is it really true?

Thank you very much.

How may I help?

Is this where we get drugged pizza?

Why did it have to rain...

You think Kei will turn up?

For this, yes.

What about Toshi and his pizza?

He must've overslept.

Who's that?

Thanks for the invitation.

Run!

Stop! Stop!!

Let me go!

They'll kill you.

You kids pushed your luck too far.

Now you're gonna learn a lesson.

No punk kids mess with us.

You're the ones pushing your luck.

Fuck you.

You bastard.

Where's Kei?

Wake up!

Don't you dare die!

I was slowest after all...

I'm sorry.

Don't be stupid.

I got a call from the orphanage.

Mom's come back for me...

Mom...

I'm meeting her here tomorrow...

What're you doing...

Wake up.

Toshi, we'll take you home.

Let's go home...

Kei, stop it,

Please stop.

Please, Kei!

Toshi's dead!

Stop it, please...

Please stop...

Shinji...

It's all changed so much.

And it'll just get worse.

All our childhood memories...

...gone for ever.

Get out of the way!

Long time, no see.

What awful clothes.

Hello there.

How are you?

Don't ignore me.

As wild as ever, I see.

Wish I had your energy.

Mr. Chan,

Thank you for the invitation.

What's the occasion?

Your district has prospered

beyond all dreams.

But don't forget, it's not your town.

Then whose town is it?

Our town!

Foreigners cause nothing but harm.

These mainlanders have been smart.

They joined us.

We want you to do the same.

We're nothing like those jerks.

Watch your mouth.

We haven't forgotten.

You had our buddy killed.

Stop acting like kids.

You've got to grow up.

It's all an act, asshole...

Welcome back...

Let's get to work.

Sorry, it's so noisy.

Hello, Sho.

What're you doing?

"Kitchen"

Tell him what it really means.

There are no ninjas in...

Really?

Really.

You added it up wrong again.

Sorry, sorry.

I've got to re-do it.

What a day. One thing after another...

Hurry up with my drink.

It's coming.

Will I be put to death?

I just want to die...

It's very easy.

Just put me outside in the sun.

Then I'll die...

Although murder's a serious charge

it's not for me to judge you.

Keep calm!

Nobody move!

What's this?

Bingo! Sorry about that.

Are you two cheating?

Don't talk in Cantonese.

I guess he's pissed to be losing...

Your jabbering pisses me off.

Let's win one for Chrissakes.

Should we call it a day?

I'm going to get some cash.

Be quick.

You don't look too bad.

It's been nine years.

I counted on the way here.

How do I look?

Look. It s my kid.

She s called 'Hana'. She's six.

Kei, I married Yi-Che.

She wasn't sure at first.

I reckon it's because...

she really liked you.

Then you left us...

I kept asking. Wouldn't give up.

I tired myself out.

She wasn't happy at first,

but now things are good.

Look, Kei.

Please look.

It's our kid.

I know all Dad's are proud but...

I always hoped

you'd get to see her.

You, above all.

How is everyone?

Good. My brother's got a bar.

We're big shots... Men about town.

What about Son?

Son... He joined the local mafia...

...to be with his own people.

But we'll work things out between us.

It was tough, though.

I'm glad you're still alive.

You were reckless.

I figured...

you'd already be dead.

But...

I'm glad you're not.

So, you grew up together?

He showed up one day, then left another...

We never knew who he was...

You're the only one he really talked to.

Human life now means very little in this country.

Neighbors one day... ... Mortal enemies the next.

But we can't give up.

I've always done my duty, and I'll continue...

'til the day I die.

My duty now is to solve his case.

Please tell me whatever you know.

There's nothing to tell.

Japanese.

Mallepa.

001540-591074

Shinji, it's me.

Find a lawyer. The best there is.

If you were here it wouldn't have happened.

You were busy helping that monster...

It's my fault?

You're so useless on your own.

I got you the bar...

I got you off drugs...

I did everything!

Don't you dare talk to me like that!

Do something yourself for once!

Spoiled brat.

I'll do it.

I'll do it on my own.

You'll see.

You here again?

Leave me alone.

Sho.

Is that you, Sho?

Hey kids, here you go.

Thank you.

I can't thank you enough.

If there's anything let us know.

Smile...

Say it's not true...

My brother...

How come you're alive...

and my brother is dead?

He pulled a gun on Chan...

I'm going to kill you.

Then all your friends.

Then all your family.

I'll kill them all!

Stop it.

Why can't you all get along?

Why don't we laugh any more?

Like before?

Mom, watch me.

I'll draw a flower.

A real pretty one.

Father.

Father. You're alive after all.

I'm happy to see you well.

It's the first time you've met.

Say hello to your Grandpa.

Hello, Grandpa.

Good girl. Hello there.

Kei, say hello to my father.

What's the real story?

None of your business.

I'm still her brother.

They say there's no hope.

The tumor's deep in her brain.

Her memory's started to go.

It'll spread to her nervous system.

Then throughout her body.

It won't be very long.

I had no idea.

I'm sorry.

You walked out on us,

on your friends... your family.

Taking the easiest way out.

How else to put it?

I was just like them.

Chan said, we Taiwanese have to rely on ourselves.

I joined him to protect my people.

The group that killed Toshi.

You went your way.

I went mine.

That's all it was.

It would've been easier...

if one of us disappeared.

Next time we meet,

will be at gun point.

I regret to say you got your wish.

You're moving to death row.

Thank you.

I hoped to hear the truth.

Next time, we'll be friends.

"Next time"?

If you're reborn.

Shall we go?

It's been a while.

I'll allow it, just this once.

It's a friend of yours.

Hello?

I wanted to see you.

I missed you so.

A lot's happened.

I can't go on alone.

I need your help.

Help me, Kei...

I can't go on alone...

The execution is tomorrow.

Please pray for his soul.

Let's go.

Thank you very much.

Kei's here...

Hold her hand.

You once told me...

how that guy drank your blood.

He stopped just before you died...

and turned you into a vampire.

I want...

you to turn Yi-Che into a vampire.

What the hell are you saying?

Make her like you.

So she won't die.

So we can save her.

You're just being selfish.

Why!?

I curse my life.

I curse this person who feeds on others.

I can't condemn her to that.

At least she'd live.

She wouldn't die.

That's blessing enough, for me.

I'm a monster!

A monster, you understand?

There's no way I'm doing that to her.

Hey, Kei.

Remember...

the day Toshi died...

it rained like this.

"We watched the setting sun."

"A perfect orange glow."

"Both about to cry."

That song Luka taught you?

You remembered.

I'm going to kill Chan.

You're coming too.

Let's have fun like before.

Symbolic of the new Mallepa,

we're building subsidized homes.

Tidying away this mess,

to help our poor people.

If I'm killed...

will you look after Yi-Che?

Without me, Hana'll be an orphan.

Just like me.

Am I pushy?

I'll think about it.

Take cover!

Your friends, perhaps.

Yes.

Look right!

Watch your right!

Do you want to die?

Spot me... like the old days.

Accurate directions!

Listen.

Only we can protect our community.

He was just like you two.

Never knew his father and mother.

I raised you all.

And now we're free...

Free to live our own lives...

This slaughter can't be much fun...

Let's fight man to man.

Gladly.

What are you doing?

What's going on?

We're strongest of all.

I haven't had so much fun for years.

Isn't it a thrill?

Let's keep going 'til the end of our ammo.

Are you still alive?

Of course I am!

Let me go!

I've got one left.

Same here.

Let's draw...

The survivor looks after the families.

On the count of three?

So simple...

I think it suits us.

You didn't fire.

Of course I did.

How could you...?

This is our destiny.

What happened?

Everyone's gone...

What do you mean?

Don't forget our promise.

Sho, don't die!

Stay with me!

Don't leave!

Hope.

Thank you for all you've done, Kei.

Skip the speech.

What's wrong?

It felt like someone was watching me.

Leaving early tomorrow?

I can't see you off but...

I know that.

Study hard. Paint great pictures.

Take care.

Hana...

You forgot this.

Thanks.

See you.

Kei, thank you. I really mean it.

It's a good painting.

She's her mother's girl.

You still mad at me?

You cared for Hana all these years.

I'm not mad.

It's just...

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't take what I'd become.

Didn't want her to see me like that.

That's why you didn't come back?

You've always been so selfish.

Look who's talking.

What about you...

Can I ask you something?

That day, if we'd made it,

would we have done the same to Yi-Che?

I don't know.

But I'm glad we didn't.

Now.

Want to go to the beach?

I'm so tired.

Let me sleep a little.

"We watched"

"the setting sun."

"A perfect"

"orange glow."

"Both"

"about to cry."

"For our"

"final farewell."

Here comes the sun.

Get closer, quick!

Here we go!
