Mokkori aerobics!

C'mon, Makimura. Stop moving, or you'll mess up my aim.

Sure you have the right "target"?

Found me out, huh?

You've been hired to destroy that sword,

a national treasure that he cherishes more than his own life.

This isn't a job worthy of a first-class sweeper like me.

I'd rather watch aerobics any old day.

After the job, you can watch all you like.

Yeah, I guess so.

Mission complete!

Okay, I'm out of here. Mission complete!

Okay, I'm out of here.

Sure, sure.

Sure, sure.

I don't like guys...

Excuse me. Could you help me?

Is this the way to Shinjuku Hall?

Yes. Go straight down this road, turn right at the next light.

Then...

Yuko! Sorry to make you wait!

Something came up suddenly...

Yuko, what's wrong?

Yuko? Hang on! Yuko! Yuko!

A series of indiscriminate shootings in Shinjuku.

Despite the incidents taking place in busy areas, no witnesses.

The number of victims has risen to five.

One of the victims, a high school student named Yuko Azuki,

was killed as she was waiting for her older sister.

Look, Ryo, can I have your attention here?

Not happening. A depressing case like this one just isn't for me.

Such a pity.

When she learns you've refused, how sad she'll be.

"She?" Why didn't you say so in the first place?!

Geez.

Your client is the high school student's older sister, Natsumi Azuki. Geez.

Your client is the high school student's older sister, Natsumi Azuki.

And she'd better be one sexy babe.

That depends on your taste.

I'll take it! When you act like that, I know she's Mokkori!

I'll take it! When you act like that, I know she's Mokkori!

I'll take it! When you act like that, I know she's Mokkori!

Have her drop by to see me at Master's place.

Hey! At that place! Are you serious?

What kind of guy would invite me to a place like this?

This kind of guy.

Sorry to make you wait so long.

Oh, this is really Mokkori!

Help! Molester!

Uh, I'm...

It's a molester. He's under the table.

Someone call the police!

I'm not a molester. I'm Ryo Saeba.

You are?

Right, Ryo Saeba.

I take it you want me to avenge your sister.

Yes, that's right.

I want you to find the person responsible

and turn him in to the police.

Really? The look on your face says something else.

It tells me that once I locate the person you want revenge for yourself.

That's not right!

But that's how it looks to me.

I've changed my mind!

It was a mistake to ask you.

Excuse me!

If you leave now, you'll regret it.

I regret even coming here to begin with!

There's too much going down in this town.

It's my job as a sweeper to clean up the scum that falls through the cracks.

This kind of place is essential if you're after punks like that.

But what can you find out here?

Hey there, Master.

XYZ, huh? That's one dangerous cocktail.

Is it that kind of day, Master?

There's a man who brought in a runaway girl at table five.

Natsumi, please excuse me for a moment.

Looks like there's trouble here.

Trouble? Looks like there's trouble here.

Trouble?

This cocktail is called XYZ.

In other words, the end of the line.

This is the signal Master uses when he needs my help.

It looks like there's murder brewing.

Murder?

Remember what I said? There's a lot going down around here.

No way! I'm not going to be part of any robbery!

Shut up!

What's happening?

Looks like I'm gonna have to shake

down this joint in exchange for your life!

Get out of my way!

Threatening a runaway girl into committing a robbery, huh?

Why don't you give up this foolishness and just take off?

Who are you? A detective?!

Not likely. Would a detective pack a .357 Magnum?

Using a bullet on the likes of you would be a waste of ammo.

Let that girl go before I change my mind.

Is that so?

Go ahead and fire. Fire that monster gun!

At this range, the bullet will go right through my body

and hit someone outside.

We're right in the middle of the business district,

and there's no end to the people.

So hand over that gun.

Do it now! Or who knows what'll happen to this girl!

Do you think that's going to work on me?

Why don't you just stop running your mouth and try it?

Mr. Saeba?!

Sonuva... I'm gonna do it! Mr. Saeba?!

Sonuva... I'm gonna do it!

No, how could...

The window isn't broken!

If the force of the bullet is too great,

all you have to do is fire it through something to slow it down.

Ryo, how could...

The bullet had a metal jacket. It didn't blow my hand apart. I'm okay.

I didn't wound him critically.

I'll leave the rest to you.

I take care of trouble in places like this,

and in exchange, the owners give me information the police aren't aware of.

So the reason you chose this place was...

I think I'll borrow this handkerchief until the job is over.

Okay, but...

It's all right. It's over.

It's okay for me to trust him.

That's what I'm starting to think.

Ow! It hurts!

That's what I get for being so cool! Ow!

I want nothing to do with ya' now.

Not now that he's come into the picture.

That's one guy I don't want to mess with.

I'm fond of being alive.

You mean that sweeper called Ryo Saeba or something?

The word must'a got around fast.

That high school girl you did?

Yuko Azuki? Her older sister hired Ryo Saeba.

So what you're telling me is to give up my fun, right?

That ain't it.

I just don't want anything to do with ya' no more.

Good enough.

You...

The sound of a gunshot, the fragrance of gun smoke,

the rush! I'll let no one interfere with it.

It's not infected, and the stitches are clean.

Be more gentle, Maki!

If you were going to scream like this, you shouldn't have shot your hand.

Still, you've got skill.

Shooting so you missed the bones.

What did you expect?! I'm not so stupid

that I'd smash my bones and ruin my left hand.

Your big show of activity in town has yielded some results though.

So my painful experience wasn't for nothing then.

Okay, we're done.

Still hurts, huh?

So, what kind of info did this hand buy us? Still hurts, huh?

So, what kind of info did this hand buy us?

The killer drives a white BMW.

That's it?

No, there's one more thing.

That informant, Ken, was killed.

Ken?!

The car the killer was driving was also a white BMW.

So that means that Yuko's killer learned I was on the move

and lost his cool.

And now we know who he'll go after next.

Exactly.

Damn!

Miss Natsumi...

Mr. Saeba?!

Man, I was getting worried, because you were late.

How in the world did you get in here?

I had the hardest time convincing your landlord to let me in.

What do you think you're doing entering my home without permission?

Oh, I see you bought me some new pajamas!

How considerate of you!

Pajamas?

A toothbrush would be nice too.

Since I'm staying with you beginning tonight. If you please?!

Staying?!

What do you mean?

In order to ensure my client's safety,

it is essential that I stay as close as possible.

Get it?

Let's talk about the details tomorrow.

Now it's time to go to bed! Right? Right?

Right?!

No way! Having you here would be much more dangerous.

If you won't leave, I will.

Please get out of my way.

Weren't you followed?

The man who killed your sister is after you now.

Me?

How do you think he's avoided the cops all this time?

He's had someone informing him of their every move.

That informant was murdered tonight.

Murdered?

I suspect the killer heard directly from the informant

that you had requested my services.

So that creepy car...

That white BMW, you mean?

How did you know?

They don't call me the City Hunter for nothing.

Now that you get it, go on to bed.

Somehow I get the feeling I've been had.

Natsumi, your safety is...

Hey, why did you have to go and put a curtain here?

I'm warning you. Don't you dare come any closer!

It would be safer if you slept with me though.

I have the utmost confidence in you as a sweeper,

but none whatsoever as a man.

That's silly. Sleeping with you means sleeping with you as a sweeper.

Oh, really!

Your words don't exactly match your actions.

Guilty.

How am I supposed to sleep after all that talk?

Mr. Saeba, can I really trust you?

You'll sleep with me as a sweeper, right?

Why are you sleeping so soundly?

How do you expect to protect me like that?

Oh no, Mr. Saeba, wake up!

With his client dead, City Hunter is out of a job.

See what ya' get.

Mr. Saeba died instead of me.

What am I going to do?

Now, now.

Who is it?

Just like I thought, one cute behind!

Mr. Saeba! So, who's in the bed?

A wig and a pillow with a little ketchup thrown in!

If you had time to arrange all that,

why didn't you just catch him?

Voila, infrared instant photo.

Handsome devil, isn't he?

Now that we know his face, we'll be able to find him before the day is out.

But I suppose you'll be satisfied if we turn him in to the cops, right?

Well...

One thing's for sure,

he made a fatal error when he messed with a pro like me.

Excuse me, Miss. Could you give me some directions?

Hey, wait!

Damn! Who could have done this?

Grand reopening! Here you go, Sir!

Lot's of pretty girls! Extra special service!

This is from...

He knows who I am.

That guy must have been...

Hold it, you!

You're in such a hurry, has something happened?

No, nothing really.

It looks like there's something on your back.

This is...

Well, I'll be. Someone must be playing a joke on me.

Well, be careful now.

Damn! He's trying to scare me!

It's turn myself in or die, huh?

He's letting me know he can kill me anytime.

We'll see about that!

Oh well, and despite my show of concern for him.

Well, I guess we'll follow him then.

City Hunter is after me, huh?

What?

First time I've taken a stroll through the park in a car.

Some tricky driving here, you okay?

I'd rather you sped up, so you don't lose him,

instead of spending your time worrying about me.

What? Faster than this?

Damn!

The fun and games are over.

I think you'd better give up and turn yourself in.

Give me that!

I'm not letting the police have you!

I'm going to avenge my sister right here with my own hand!

Wait a minute! I'm sorry!

I'm gonna turn myself in. So don't shoot!

Mr. Saeba,

I can't shoot him.

I can't do it.

I know.

Watch out!

Mr. Saeba, he's getting away!

No, he'll be back.

Damn him, playing me for a fool!

I'll kill him.

He wasn't worth you getting your hands dirty.

That's what guys like me are for.

Hey, everyone feeling Mokkori out there?

Okay, next week's episode is about... What?!

My client is a scientist named Mitsuko Shimizu?

She developed a deadly microbe, and someone's after her.

Uh-uh! No way!

She's a scientist, so she must be some old maid with thick glasses.

What's that? You say she's a real babe?!

I'll do it! I can handle this!

The bad guys better not come near my beautiful damsel or else!

I'll show you my Mokkori power!

Next City Hunter: "Please Kill Me! Crosshairs Don't Become a Pretty Girl"

Please watch!
