Nagasaki

Welcome, Mr. Takeda.

Yo!

Congratulations to the Tennis Club!

- How was it? - Ah, thanks.

Well, this guy came and saved the day.

- Really? - Do you know that?

He's number one in Pro Tennis.

Of course! I'm a big fan of Mimura!

We're honored that you are here.

Hey, Mimura. Mimura, let me introduce her.

She's this bar's manager.

How do you do? I'm Yoko Torikai.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

Am I James Bond?

Yes, you're James Bond. But I'm not a spy.

How did I get here? I guess thanks to my English conversation skills...

Where is it?

You're in Paradise.

- Who are you? - I'm Eve.

Your girl.

Then, I'm Adam?

Yes, you're a man and I'm a woman.

That's all you need to know.

Wait a moment...

There's plenty of time until dawn to win the game.

My match? Is that so? Wait a moment...

No, wait a moment

Fine, before my match!

Hey!

Good morning.

- How was last night? - So, so.

I'm still a bit sleepy.

I see. Well, Nagasaki nights won't bore you anymore.

I guess it was worth inviting you all the way from Tokyo for the club's court opening.

I'll drive you to the airport.

That's why I like you, Yamasaki, ever since we hanged out as kids.

If you need any help, just call me.

It's reassuring to know you'll always help me out.

Welcome back, brother!

- Did someone come here? - It was your guest, brother.

My guest? Who's that?

I have no clue. It was someone I don't know.

He didn't give his name.

I made sure to tell him that you're not home.

He told me that he'll wait for you, and made his way here.

I don't know what he wants, but he came in freely.

The contract for that commercial must have been quite expensive?

Ah, by the way, my name is Kishii.

What do you want?

I am here on behalf of a lady.

A lady?

You must know her very well, Mr. Mimura.

That's why I'm asking who is she!

All right.

Here...

I think you'll remember her once you see these.

Please, go ahead.

I envy you, Mr. Mimura.

What the hell did you do?

Exactly what you see.

You see, that lady...

She says that she was assaulted by professional tennis player Koji Mimura.

You've got be shitting me!

Do you really think you can get away with that kind of bullshit?

Your plan was to get me into a trap with a camera.

But this photo proves your plan was a total set up!

What if I'll sue you on my own?

Do you like scandals?

In any case, it is you who will be damaged, Mr Mimura.

- I want to meet the woman in person! - And then, beat her up?

Mr. Mimura, this kind of talk

will go a lot more smoother if you have someone in between.

She's demanding 30 million yen as a settlement.

Please, have it ready by cheque by tomorrow morning.

I will give you the price for these photos,

once I have cashed the cheque.

If our little negotiation ends up unsuccessfully due to some unforeseen circumstances,

you'll have another name in the public eye as a molester, Mr. Mimura.

That will be quite unfortunate.

The delivery method will be here tomorrow.

Wait here a moment...

I know that you've just returned from Nagasaki, and you must be really tired.

Please, have some rest.

Can I have this?

Smash!

Kishii speaking.

Mr. Mimura, we need you to come to our agreement site in Toda.

- Our agreement site in Toda? - That's right.

That's a strange place to deal business.

I don't think it's that strange.

Bye for now.

Hello?! Where's that damn site?

Mr. Mimura!

Thank you for your cooperation.

Well, shall I take it?

Look, here's your cheque.

You've made a mistake, Mr. Mimura...

What's the matter?

We agreed on 30 million yen...

But that's just one million.

Just be thankful you got, at least, this much.

Mr. Mimura, that's not what you promised...

Once you go into an unfair deal,

don't even whine about any little discontents!

All right, ten more!

I thought you hated training.

Did something happen?

What an idiot. Skimped on a mere 30 million yen...

Mr. Saida, you'll have to do it all by yourself now...

"Let's stop here."

Would you be satisfied if I said that?

- Are you all ready? - Yes, let's go.

Let's do it. Look right here.

Here's a young woman, and smile a bit more.

I'm filming.

A bit like that.

A bit more.

That's very good...

- Mr. Shiraki! - What?

Can I have a word with you?

What's the matter?

- Actually... - What?

I'll be right back.

Look at this!

Over here!

Mimura.

- Huh? - Come here.

Okay, what a relief...

Everybody, take a break.

Koji Mimura - A demon rapist

Tearful accusation! Raped by a Pro Tenis player!

Is it true that you paid one million?

That's really bad...

Right?

I've tried contacting other tennis club's directors.

They said they've all read this article.

It was sent to all agencies...

Along with some pretty appalling photos.

This will have a severe impact on your seniors.

Stop right here!

What's the matter?

Don't go back to your house!

There are a lot of journalists and photographers coming in.

Anyway, get out, quickly!

Look!

Shit, who called them?

You see... didn't I tell you?

You could have done something about that 30 million...

You should have just paid the money like a grown-up!

I'm absolutely not paying a single cent to them.

I'm not going to pay for it, and that kind of thinking is what makes me a grown-up!

Compared to who?

I'm talking about the people who set me up in their filthy trap!

You're just trying to look cool.

What about your tennis cup? Are you quitting it?

Don't sweat it. I'll manage that.

Hey, I won't be back for a couple of days.

Brother...

You see...

I've done my best to support Koji Mimura as a first-class professional tennis player so far.

Mentally, financially, as well as technically.

I think you understand me there.

Mr. Takita.

What was the conclusion of the directors' emergency board meeting?

You're suspended as a player.

But, of course, once your innocence is proven,

this disciplinary action will be immediately revoked.

Will I make an appearance at Tennis Cup?

I guess you don't like scandals?

I understand...

That looks good.

- Miss Sakura. - What is it?

Mimura, come here.

Your filming is canceled.

It's the client's decision.

Not just the film, but all the print media, is at your loss.

Mr. Mimura! Mr. Mimura!

Hiding your figure isn't something new.

Could you give us a few comments?

- Mr. Mimura! - Hey, what are you doing?

You can't do that, Mr. Mimura.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, give that back!

Mimura, stop it!

What are you doing? You think this is some kind of a joke?

If Mimura would have won Wimbledon,

it wouldn't have been such a big deal for all of you!

You can only prey on people! Don't talk bullshit!

Hey!

- Mimura. - Mr. Mimura!

Mr. Mimura! Everybody's going to write about you!

Mimura...

Don't worry, I'll introduce you to my events.

If you sue for defamation and prove your innocence,

everything will go back to normal. Huh? Am I right?

Not really...

I decided to take matters into my own hands.

But how are you going to settle this?

Huh?

Is it you, Mr. Mimura? It's Kishii speaking.

Your sister told me to call you over here.

You're so terrible, Mr. Mimura. My arm is broken...

- And, so what? - As a matter of fact,

you still have to bring us the remaining 29 million yen, please.

- What do you want from me? - How about we do this?

After you pay us 29 million yen,

we make a defamatory statement to the press,

turn in the woman who alleged rape,

prove that there were no facts at the outset and that you are innocent.

How does that sound? I think it's a mutually beneficial way of doing it.

You can go on yammering in your sleep!

Who was it?

He won't stop from trying to take 30 million off me.

- He thinks I'm that naive. - But, look, Mimura...

I still have the final set to play!

Now, it's my turn to attack...

What? That woman set you up?

Mimura, you've got to be kidding me...

I can't believe it.

Does that woman still work in that bar?

No, come to think of it, I went there the day before yesterday,

and the manager said that she quit.

Do you know where she lives?

- No idea. - I see...

Hey, Mimura, where will you go?

I'm going to find her.

You're in Nagasaki, for God's sake... Are you going to look for her here?

- I guess so... - Shall I help you?

No, I'll try to find her on my own. I'll call you later.

It's vacant. The woman who lived here left.

Since when?

I wonder...

Maybe three months ago or so...

Three months?

That's strange.

Surely you must have met a foreign woman who lived here about two weeks ago?

Come to think of it, yes.

About half a month ago, there was one tenant who moved in and then left.

Three days later, it was empty again.

You must have been here then.

Where's the estate agent that manages this place?

So much work today!

What a cute baby!

All right, Shinkon Apartments, № 505, right?

Here it is. That was quite a strange customer.

As soon as we signed the contract, we brought in the sofas and everything...

Right, and then, three days later, that person cancels the contract!

- Can I have you for a moment? - Sure.

Excuse me, can you wait a bit?

- Was it a woman who signed the contract? - No, it was a man.

- A man? - Yup.

What kind of man?

Let's see, he wore his hair to the side,

and he wore a matching suit.

At first glance, he looked like some kind of a businessman.

Mimura!

Hey, Mimura!

I'm over here.

How's your search?

Why?

I'm sorry!

Spill it out! What's your relationship with that woman?

It has nothing to do with that woman.

Nakata!

Our bar's manager, Yoko Torikai, asked me to do it.

She's also a member of our tennis club.

And, besides that...

What's the matter?

Apart from Yoko Torikai, one man came to see me.

He wanted Yoko to cooperate on his request.

He was pressing me...

to be a guarantor for that rented flat,

and make you go there.

I didn't know this was going to happen!

I could never imagine it ending up like this!

Mimura, please, forgive me!

Who was that man?

I see.

When a stranger offers you to help in creating a scandalous story,

you take it up without any second thoughts.

I guess you're that kind of man.

Nakata!

I was threatened!

I had some debts and I needed to get some money illegally...

That's where he got me...

I was told if I refuse, I'd be set up as well.

It was very likely to happen... I had a gut feeling.

Look, I'm not at the position to say this now,

but you shouldn't go against these guys.

You'll get hurt... Do you understand?

Mimura.

Just give it up, Mimura!

Mimura!

Mimura, just give that up!

Mimura!

Welcome. Please, right this way.

Welcome.

Welcome.

- I'll have midori liqueur. - Sure.

Welcome back, Mr. Mimura! It's been a while.

I saw it in the weekly news, and I don't know what to say.

That girl quit suddenly, too, saying she was going back to her home country.

It was so sudden...

Is that so?

What brings you here, by the way?

Tokyo is too noisy.

I was thinking of giving lessons to members at a club in Nagata for a while.

Really? I'm sure the club's members will be delighted!

All right then!

A toast for our reunion.

I'll comfort you, okay? Don't run away tonight.

Hey, Mimura, let's head to another bar! One more! Come on, one more!

Over here! It's over here! This bar...

I feel so great...

Hey, let's go to my place, okay?

Is that all right? Come on...

What are you going to do tomorrow?

Nothing in particular.

Shall we go fishing?

Fishing?

Yes, I have a rented boat.

Say.

- Can we start? - Wait a moment!

Well, then let's start?

Mr. Mimura.

It's me, Kishii.

You're not behaving very well lately.

You won't get anywhere, chasing that woman.

- Are you going to kill me? - Of course not!

I won't profit from killing you. Besides, you wouldn't want to die here either.

Stop refusing, and let's finish our deal.

Suzuki.

- Give him a lesson with your body. - Sure!

I don't know anything!

I really have no interest in here!

I really don't know anything, I'm just following Kishii's orders!

I'm just a low-rank lackey!

I really don't know anything! I beg you...

Put both arms out in front of you.

Put your palms on top of each other.

No...

I've worked up for nothing...

I won't say anything.

- That would be fantastic. - Indeed...

You're the one who spread it all to the tennis club directors.

I have nothing to do with them! I don't know anything!

Stop this! Help me!

No!

Help me... Stop this...

No!

I beg you, help me!

Takako!

Takako Shimizu, your old lover...

Takako, she's the one who made me do it...

Help me, that's all I know!

Takako Shimizu?

You've got some blood on you.

♪ Love me, I want you to love me right now

♪ It doesn't matter if it's just a fantasy that will soon be gone

♪ Love me, I want you to feel me like that

♪ Burning flames, and my somber thoughts

♪ All these clichéd words pass by

♪ Don't say anything, baby

♪ Love me, love me, hold me tight

♪ Don't say anything, baby

♪ Love me, love me, hold me tight

The manager, Takako Shimizu, is on holiday.

Since when?

Since yesterday. The manager told me.

Shit, she just vanished...

Mimura, what shall we do?

I have a bad feeling about this...

In any case, I'm not giving them a single penny.

No way! Are you sure?

Ms. Takako had a part in this scheme?

I don't believe it...

So, that's true that she took part in it?

Yes.

But she seemed to be so intelligent, and we admired her...

Why?

There are stories like that all over the world.

It's because of you, brother. It must be your fault.

- You were going to get married... - I didn't make such promises.

You're as good as done. You've been together with her for two years.

Since breaking up with Ms. Takako,

I've been seeing all these women one after the other that don't give a damn about you.

And it was you, who preferred these women to Ms. Takako

Then, Maki...

If I'd married her back then, I don't know if I'd have minded leaving you on your own.

Well, that's...

No, I'm not blaming you.

To be honest with you,

marriage wasn't on my mind at that time.

The only thing I was obsessed with was tennis.

I remember... The day you won your first professional championship.

Game! Winner, Mimura.

The score is 6-1, 6-0.

Congratulations, brother!

You've lifted me up that time.

I felt like I had you all to myself.

At that time, Takako looked very sad.

And then, she disappeared...

We must have hurt her...

But...

Why did she go this far?

Listen, shall I go and search for her?

- Maybe I'll be able to find her? - No, I'll find her on my own.

I will find her somehow.

You can't do it.

♪ From the Bon festival

Kishii speaking.

Thank you for your help in Nagasaki.

Thanks to you, I'm in good hands at the hospital.

Consider yourself lucky you can still walk.

Don't say such harsh things...

Would you mind stepping out for a moment?

- What do you mean? - You will see something interesting.

Brother!

No!

Maki!

What are you doing? Stop it!

- No! No! - Shut up!

- No, no, no... - Hey.

Calm your ass down!

I can't...

Brother...

He's following us. Move faster!

Brother! Brother!

Why can't you keep quiet? Shut the hell up!

Please...

I see he wants to have some fun.

Fine, I'll show him!

Brother! Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

- Let's see if he'll catch us. - Brother...

Brother!

Brother! No...

No!

Maki!

Brother, help me!

Brother...

Help me...

Hey, shut up already.

Brother!

Hey, how was it?

He's definitely given up.

Hey, what happened? Are you all right?

Wait, wait! What are you doing?

Hey, hey, don't do that!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother! Brother!

Brother!

Brother...

Hello!

Hello? Mimura speaking.

No!

- It hurts! - Maki!

- Brother... - Maki, where are you?

Help me, brother!

Maki, where are you?!

- Help me... - Maki!

Kishii speaking.

Mr. Mimura, you really do such terrible things.

I guess I'll have to show you my true character now.

- You bastard... - Now, listen to me.

You should know that what you're currently doing will not solve your problem.

That's why I'm going to tell you where the remaining 29 million should be paid.

Do you have a paper to write on? I'll give you the instructions.

Wait a moment...

I'm listening.

Towa Bank, Kanda branch.

Account number is 015678210.

Don't forget that it's up to you whether you let your sister live or die.

Give me back my sister first!

Is it a joke? What are you saying?

Ouch...

Remember, I am in charge of this transaction.

We'll release your sister as soon as we confirm that the money has been paid.

The deadline is the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow.

Mr. Mimura, we're also very busy.

Pay us honestly and without giving us any kind of trouble. This is your last chance.

Tell me.

Why did this have to happen to me?

What did I do to Takako Shimizu? That's a matter between...

Miss Takako...

You're Miss Takako, right?

Long time no see.

How many years has it been?

If I was ever going to meet you, I never wanted it to be in this way.

I guess you want to say that I've changed. Everyone changes.

I'm sure you will, too, Maki.

Why? Why are you doing this to my brother?

Because your brother was an evil man, I became a wicked woman.

That's vile!

That's right. I guess you're right.

But, you know, that innocence of yours changed my fate.

- No way! - That's all right.

I'm not holding any grudge against you.

For your brother, only two things exist,

you and the game of tennis.

There was the time he won his first professional championship.

We promised that we'll both celebrate this victory.

I waited for him the whole day. When would he come, when?

The next thing I knew, it was morning.

It was only then that I realized what your brother was really feeling.

I'm sorry...

But that he loved me so much more than you...

I can't believe it...

I beg you. Please, let me help you!

Please, let me out! I'll meet my brother, and...

Don't be naive. That's why I've told you.

I have changed...

Your dear brother refused to pay the money.

Even when you're a hostage, he's not willing to pay.

That's a lie! No way!

When he wants to stay clean, he wouldn't even care about his little sister.

That's the kind of man Mimura is.

You're wrong! It's not like that!

I guess we're in a similar situation now.

Hey, go this way!

Hello, Mr. Mimura?

It's Yoko Toriaki from Nagasaki.

I'm being chased, and they might kill me!

You are the only person I can turn to now!

I'll tell you all I know!

I'm honored to hear that.

The Deputy Secretary of the Conservative Party's Chairman,

although I don't know his name...

Deputy Secretary of the Conservative Party?

What about him?

He's the mastermind behind the organization that tries to frame you.

He's someone at the high rank.

I think that's enough clues for you.

Yoko... What's the matter?

Deputy Secretary of the Conservative Party's Chairman Kensaku Kuroyanagi.

A man called Daisuke Nonoyama.

This is his office, have a look.

This Nonoyama guy...

He seems to be a very smart person who's good at subterfuge.

However...

One won't believe at first glance

that someone like that is involved in this.

What kind of a man is this Kuroyanagi deputy?

Well, as far as I know,

he's in a group called the New Leaders. And wants to be the next Prime Minister.

He's hawkish and quite a rough man in the Conservative Party.

Hey, hey!

Mimura, what are you thinking about?

You don't really believe what that woman in Nagasaki has told you?

That could be just an excuse to make you fall into another trap...

Hello? It's Yoko Toriaki.

I'm in the Ozette Hotel, in room 701. Mr. Mimura, please, help me!

Please, come here now, and I'll tell you what else I know about this scheme.

Hello? Hello?

Mimura.

If you go to her, you will be in danger! Hey!

Mimura!

Please, right this way.

Ouch!

Excuse me.

I see you're in a hurry, so take care.

You're Koji Mimura, right?

Can you come along with us?

Around four o'clock,

you visited Hotel Ozette in Shibuya yesterday, didn't you?

Come in.

We have a witness who says that you were seen in the hotel.

They know your face very well. You're a celebrity, after all.

There's no way an eyewitness could have mistaken you.

What were you going to do with her?

I got a call from her.

She came to Tokyo and asked me to have dinner with her.

And that's why you went to the hotel?

Yes.

But the door was locked, so I just left.

So, you tried turning the knob, but the door wouldn't open because it was locked?

And then, you politely wiped your fingerprints off and returned back home?

You see, the knob...

It didn't have your fingerprints.

You wiped them off, after you visited her room, but then, you couldn't think of a safe place.

Why did you wipe it?

The answer is simple, isn't it?

I know what you've been doing in Yoko Toriaki's room.

- You're wrong! - Shut the fuck up!

You're the one who killed Yoko Toriaki!

What could be my motif for that?

Didn't you have that one scandal before?

- As for the motive for the killing... - You're wrong.

- You're wrong. - Shut up!

Don't think that the police is this blind. We're all doing our job properly.

Right? About the case of your relationship,

I know that she was involved in it!

It wasn't me!

Everyone says it like that at the beginning.

Come on, you can relax.

Mr. Mimura.

We're going to take our time with you.

Although I'm going to have to ask you to leave for today.

One of these days, we'll definitely crack you.

Most certainly.

Mimura, chin up!

All the police have is circumstantial evidence.

They can't arrest you, right?

Don't go any deeper than this.

Just pay the 30 million yen.

And then, you can make an appeal to the police.

I'll take care of it myself.

I will never pay.

Mimura!

You're only thinking about yourself! You know, I...

I've got a wife and kids, too.

You also have your younger sister, right?

Stop the car.

What's the matter?

Just stop it.

My sister is fine.

Mimura!

"The investigation was narrowed down to identifying Yoko's associates."

"Several people are on a radar of the police investigation course."

"Some of them are currently under suspensions and under suspicion."

"A professional sportsman is among the leading suspects."

That's all written here, right?

There are limits to what you can say in defense.

The board's decision to expel you from the Tennis Academy

by expulsion could not be reversed.

You will be notified in writing in due course.

I have no other choice but to make that clear to you.

Brother! Brother!

Brother!

Brother.

Brother...

Welcome!

Kishii, what's up?

At last, Mr. Mimura raised the white flag!

The balance of 29 million has indeed been paid.

Is that so?

That idiot, he was being so stubborn!

So, I guess the murder of troublesome Yoko Toriaki made him move.

- Right, Maruyama? - That's true.

Mr. Maruyama.

How about you take care of her before I give her back?

You're adding fuel to the fire, don't do that.

Just watch me!

It hurts, no!

- Somebody help... - Come here!

No!

No!

No! No!

No! No! Brother!

Brother!

No! No!

Maki!

Maki!

Forgive me.

For the sake of me.

Maki.

Maki!

Maki!

Maki!

I can only assume that she had a terrible shock and gone insane.

What kind of thing she experienced is beyond me.

- Can she be cured? - I wonder...

We'll have to wait and see a bit longer.

Maki!

Family members stay here.

I must call my brother, and then, we'll definitely solve it...

- Ah, of course! - Maki!

Let's begin our search...

♪ I've got snow on my hands... Feeling nothing

♪ In this empty room...

♪ In this place, like a dense forest

♪ I will die...

Who may you be? What do you want?

Stop that. Should I call the police?

Call it.

I'm Mimura.

Koji Mimura.

Have we met somewhere?

I'm sure you've heard my name mentioned once or twice by one of your henchmen.

In regards to the blackmail...

Blackmail?

Blackmail is a dangerous thing...

Mr. Nonoyama, we're calling the police.

No need to.

It doesn't sound really exciting. Let's hear what you have to say, okay?

Hey, you. You can leave now.

And so?

I know you are the mastermind behind this blackmailing organization.

So, here's the deal.

Get me 300 million yen in cash.

If you refuse, I will thoroughly expose who you really are.

I was stripped off of all my tennis achievements.

My sister went mad.

You have a lot to lose.

And I have no life left in me.

Don't underestimate a cornered man.

300 million is a small price to pay, don't you think so?

Get your money together. I'll be in touch with you.

Because of you...

He came here, saying that he'll expose me.

That... that little rat!

It just appeared in front of me! Explain yourself!

We are very sorry.

However, how did he know about your existence...

I have no clue.

The fact that you don't know makes me sick!

That mad dog will go on a rampage!

He's onto us! What are we supposed to do?

Kagashi.

Yes?

I think you can do something about it, right?

Through entire purification, men shall be in peace.

Did you bring the 300 million yen?

Let's go, people may see us.

You're too careless.

You're being targeted... They're going to kill you.

I called you before, telling you to run away.

You want me to thank you?

Please, just run away.

I'm not stepping back, until I resolve this problem by myself.

Why?

Why did you try to frame me with such dirty tricks?

Answer me.

Answer me!

You are a very well known public figure,

and everyone has secrets they don't want other people to know.

People seek getting a hold on any scandal.

They sniff out such scandals,

and then, drop them with such photos.

You were told that you'd be exposed to the media, and that's just what happened.

For any clean person, a scandal can be created.

That's how people are being lured into such traps.

For hundreds of years.

The only exception is you.

I'm one of the those people who got scared by them.

I was dating a young businessman.

And they've made some stunning pictures.

He was a good benefactor...

But, when push came to shove, all men are the same.

Once you've paid to the organization, you don't need to know the rest.

When I lost benefactors and credibility...

I became one of them.

It's my job

to lure people into this casino.

I'm an awful woman.

You're lucky we split up.

But that should have happened.

You shouldn't have gone through this either.

That's right...

I am the one who suggested that you should be set up.

What are you doing here?!

You asshole!

Son of a bitch!

You motherfucker!

You cunt!

You bastard!

You keep on fighting...

Your lover...

will die here.

Nonoyama...

Don't let him get away...

Beyond that...

How much more money do you need to pay to be safe?

I'm too weak...

Forgive me...

What the...?

It's Saita.

I just came to the casino and found both Suzuki and Takako Shimizu shot dead.

Well, no, in fact, I...

Hey!

It's Mimura.

Where's the money?

Wait, wait a moment!

- Can you wait a bit more? - Don't tell me you haven't got it yet.

Listen carefully. Tonight at 10 PM.

Bring it to the central scrap yard.

Don't forget that your life depends on this.

- Have you seen him? - No...

Let's split up.

Saita?

You son of a bitch.

Please, wait. Don't rush!

I'm a detective, you know?

Shoot me, and you'll be in big trouble!

Don't shoot. I beg you!

Don't shoot!

Help me...

Please, don't shoot me!

Help me! Don't shoot!

Please...

I give up... I give up!

You're the only one I'm going to save.

Go and tell it to Nonoyama.

I get it... I get it.

Go on.

Mr. Nonoyama, there's no way I'm going to give such a large sum of money to Mr. Mimura.

Please, shoot him already.

Come on, can't you see him? Hurry up!

Please, stop that, Mr. Fukamachi!

This year is the International Year of People with Disabilities.

Mr. Nonoyama.

You know what I'm thinking about right now?

I mean, another job opportunity.

You've lost.

Why don't you just get on with it?

Or would you, perhaps, prefer getting a bullet?

Drop that dead body. Hurry up!

And another one.

All right, that shall do.

Farewell.

Now, I've paid you back.
