MACHINE ANIMAL

IWAKUNI CITY

You should be careful,
such a long way from home.

You dig?

You fuck!

Cool it.

They look penniless anyhow.

Watch yourselves
when you're in a strange land.

- Who the hell were they?
- Don't worry about them.

Welcome.

Are you the owner?

I heard you were the man to talk to.

You need a boat?

Three people bound for Sweden.

So there's one more of you?

Might be difficult.
There are no boats from Greece.

Maybe next week.

- We need your help.
- It won't be cheap.

How much?

One million yen a head.

We'll pay you with these.
500 hits total.

That's not my thing.
Try peddling it somewhere else.

Where, for example?

I've got a suggestion.

There's a go-go bar called Astro.
Talk to a chick named Maya.

- Maya?
- She's an old friend.

Thanks. We'll check it out.

We meet again.

- What do you want?
- I want to score some LSD.

Why ask me?

I asked at the Greek Bar.
I heard you were the one to talk to.

You met Miki.

Try that bartender.

Thanks. Very kind of you.

I hear you do some dealing.

I have something I want you to move.

Can you deal with this?

What's up?
The man asked you a question.

- How much do you have?
- 500 hits.

500? That's a lot.

We'll come back tomorrow night.
Think it over.

Got it.

He was lying.
Those rednecks are pushing drugs.

- What did they say?
- 500 hits.

- Sounds interesting.
- What shall we do?

Hey, Charlie.

- How was it, Nobo?
- All right.

Nah.

Oh, you lot?

What's up?

We're here for the drugs.

You couldn't afford any.

Who said anything about buying it?
Hand over the stuff!

What did you say, bitch?

Dumb bitch...

Hand it over, boy.
Come on, now!

Look out!

Fuck!
I can't believe they had a piece.

- What do we do?
- They had 500 hits.

We can't let it slide.

We know their car,
so they can be found.

Find them.

- See anything?
- Nothing.

Let's go.

- Did you see the car?
- No luck.

Maya! What are you doing
here this early?

I've got some questions for you.

Two guys crossed my path
last night.

Oh, those guys...

- Who are they?
- No idea.

- They came to talk with the owner.
- What about?

- Looking for a boat.
- A boat?

Apparently they want to go
to Sweden.

Don't get involved.

The drugs will pay
for their passage.

I wonder who they are,
packing a pistol and all that.

- A pistol?
- A white guy with them had it.

There it is!

Charlie, I told you to stay put!

They found us.
The girls from last night!

- Shit.
- Let's find them.

There!

- Remi?
- Hop in, quick!

The stuff has got to be here.
Find it.

What a mess!

Got it!

- Nice one!
- Let's go.

- Let's try...
- No way!

- That's the car from yesterday.
- With Remi.

Tail them.

- What happened to the rednecks?
- Where's the rest of your gang?

- Where'd you get it?
- Dunno!

- Where'd you steal it from?
- Mind your own business!

Hey, stop!

- Watch it!
- Raise it!

Shit, we lost them!

We'll catch them later.

Over there.

- Don't bogart it.
- I know. Let's try it.

- What about Maya and the others?
- I'll leave them some.

This'll do just fine.

We've got quite a haul!

Time for a trip?

- It's my first time.
- I didn't ask.

That's it! It's there!

Shit!

It's gone!

- It had to be those girls.
- What now?

Shut up!

I know how we'll get them.

What's up?

You know.
We want our stolen acid back.

- "Stolen"?
- Are you playing dumb?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Explain to me.

Listen, without the stuff,
we're finished.

- What are you talking about?
- Cut the act! The 500 hits of acid.

What?

Your friends, where are they?

Right...

We have a Vietnam War
deserter with us.

A deserter?

We're in deep shit as well.

If we can get a ride on a ship,
it's "Farewell Japan".

I'm asking you...
Give us back our stash.

Hey, they're here.

- Let's dance.
- Shit!

You better not have taken them all.

You stole something
from these guys?

- Here's yours and Jun's cut.
- Give me all of it.

Come over here!
Hand them over.

- Give them back.
- Shut up!

There you go.
Sorry it's a little lighter.

Much obliged.

You saved us.
You chicks are cool.

Cut the sweet talk.

Why did you give it back?

They said they want to leave Japan.

Who are we to stand in their way?

I guess we shouldn't have
trashed their car.

- What's the story then?
- Come back tomorrow.

Tomorrow it is, then.

No worries, we got the stash.

I want to apologise.

- That's all right.
- Where are you staying?

- Where's your crib?
- What's it to you?

We want to make it up to you.

If you don't have a place,
I know where you can crash.

Don't worry, it's not a trap.
Let's go.

This way, everybody!

Come on.

- What is this place?
- It's a place we use sometimes.

Don't worry,
nobody knows about it but us.

- You can crash here if you want.
- Thanks.

Well, then, let's have a party.

Break out the beer. Drink up!

I tell you,
you chicks are heavy!

This won't do at all.
Charlie, come on. Get it out.

Come on, it's all right.

Eh, you shouldn't.

Come on, hand them out.

One each!

- One for me!
- Sure it's all right?

Hey, give me one!

How much did you sell?

- I'm jacking the price up by 10%.
- Again?

That's life.

- Where's Maya's gang?
- They were just here.

Why are you looking after us now?

I wonder...

Maybe we like you.

So, you're getting on a boat...

Why are you leaving?

Well... I thought Sweden
might be less of a drag.

Why do you stay?

Hard to say.

Maybe I just have
nowhere else to go.

Nowhere else, eh?

I just remembered...

A long time ago,
I wanted to be a sailor.

I wanted to visit
the farthest reaches of the earth.

- Sounds like your dream'll come true.
- We'll see.

- What about your friend?
- He did a stint in remand school.

Wherever he worked,
they found out sooner or later.

I think he wants a new motherland.

To be honest...

...I don't know
what's going to happen.

I don't know what to do
with myself.

It's the same for everyone.

No, some people have ideas.

They want beautiful lives.

What's your name?

- Nobo.
- Nobo?

Nobody. "Nobo" for short.

When I first realised
the loneliness of the stars

The tears came flooding

All life is just a gamble

For a lonely woman,
life is but a dream

With hurt feelings

When I realised
that love could cause such pain

I had become an adult

Because love is just a gamble

For a lonely woman,
life is but a dream

So it has been,
from that day on...

Think you can unload the drugs?

Couldn't say.

You have to sell them though.

You need me to find a buyer?

You?

I know the bartender's boss.

How do you know him?

I make it my business. That's all.

- You don't come around here much.
- True enough.

- What do you want?
- A money-making scheme.

With you?

- Don't you trust me?
- Try me.

500 hits of LSD.

I'm looking for a buyer.
I thought you might be interested.

- Where did you come by it?
- Are you in or out?

If you're not keen, I'll say no more.

Hold on.

I might be interested.

- I'll think it over.
- I need your answer by 10:00 tonight.

All right.

I hope we can play ball.

I figured as much. See you.

- What's going on with Maya?
- It's those rednecks.

She's hooked up with those rednecks.

This could be interesting business.

- I think we sealed a deal.
- Yeah?

I hope they don't know
anything about us.

How about it?

They'll make some enquiries,

but even so,
you'll still get your dough.

And you're sure about the product?

I think the sellers are
a couple of Iwakuni rednecks.

We've seen their faces.

- Keep talking.
- How much?

500 hits for 3 million yen.

Of course,
the cheaper the better.

I'll see what I can do.

It's a drag, isn't it?

I can't bear this place, it's boring.

It's your first time in Yokohama,
so we'll show you around.

It'll be fine. If you're with us,
no one'll suspect anything.

- Let's go!
- You can wear a disguise.

Stop complaining
and cheer up already!

Hey, Mr Policeman!

What do you think
of my new beau, officer?

In Yokohama, no one gives
a second thought to foreigners.

Charlie?

- Shit. Where's he gone?
- I hope the police haven't found him.

Charlie, where are you going?

Charlie!

You dumb fuck!
Where have you been?

Let's go.

I told you not to go out, you fuck!

Don't shout at him.

He didn't get caught,
so what's all the fuss?

- What's up?
- Don't tell me you lost the stash...

We trusted you with it, you fucker!

Cool it, cool it!

Beating him won't help.

Tell me,
where did you lose it?

We're screwed without it.
You'll be stuck back in the army!

- What did you say?
- Say that again.

He said he's made a mess
of this for everyone.

He doesn't care about Sweden anymore.
He'll turn himself in.

- Turn himself in?
- What the fuck?

You can't turn yourself in.

You have no idea
the heat this will bring on us!

You just don't understand!

Charlie...

No one's blaming you.

He's right.

You've come so close to making it
to Sweden, you can't give up.

We need to talk about this.

You went bowling with the girls?

Charlie said you took him out.

Sorry, but it was a drag
being cooped up in there.

What happened?

He got spooked all of a sudden
and left.

You idiots. Why didn't you
watch him more closely?

- Charlie's lost the acid.
- The drugs?

Without it, the three of them
can't board the boat.

Listen, did you notice
anything unusual?

Nothing at all. Right?

- Just maybe...
- What was it?

When we were bowling,
a couple of foreigners came in.

- Charlie turned tail and split.
- Were they MPs?

No, just regular guys.
Charlie must've made a mistake.

Maybe he dropped the stash
when he rushed out.

Right.
Everybody go and search for it.

- I'll check the bowling alley.
- I'll go with you.

Mr Sakura!

- I have some disturbing news.
- What is it?

This stuff turned up
at the Astro club.

From Shimizu?

You see me and run.
Why is that?

Nothing...

I heard you were running
your own business on the side,

cutting us out of the deal.

Let's see what you've been dealing.

Here we have it.
Where did you get this?

From some white guy.
He said he was your friend.

I see.
So that's where it came from.

Very well... I'll hold onto it for now.

You don't mind, do you?

Not a word to Maya, all right?
Let's go.

This is what the girls tried to sell you?

Probably the same.
Now it's fallen into our hands.

And now they have nothing to sell.

Anyway, get it onto the streets
as soon as possible.

I'll go through my usual channels.

Hand over the stuff,
or else that white guy'll...

I don't have it anymore.

What did you do with it?

I can't tell you.

You have to understand.

We blew it. Forget about it.

But what if Maya finds out?

Just keep your mouth shut.

- Maya!
- I figured you'd be here, Ema.

You went missing.
I thought maybe you were dead.

Sorry, Maya.

- I was just told to get Charlie outside...
- Ema!

Hand over the stuff you stole.

I'm sorry, I don't have it.

Who's got it?

- Spit it out.
- Or it's funeral time...

- Sakura of the Dragon Gang.
- What?

It's true.
They swore me to secrecy.

Shit...
So the Dragons are behind this.

We'll take it back.

Maya? What's up?

You already know.
Hand over our stuff.

I've no idea
what you're talking about.

The bartender told us everything.

I thought we were straight
with the Dragons,

that's why we brought the deal to you.

But you've crossed the line,
stealing our dope.

- So you want your cut?
- Wrong again.

An AWOL soldier needs the money
to move to Sweden.

A deserter?

Yeah. They need the money
to board a boat to Sweden.

I see. And you've taken them
under your wing?

Now you know the story,
hand it over.

No deal.

Even if we did have it,
we couldn't just hand it back.

Why not?

The sooner the soldier gets arrested,
the better.

You fucker.
I thought we were tight.

You've no right to be angry.

I think we can put the money
to better use than he could.

Out of our way.

- That's the last time I trust the Dragons.
- What do we do?

What about the LSD?

Well, our hands are tied
unless we can find it.

Just give us a bit more time.
I promise you we'll get it back.

But I finally found a boat
leaving the clay after tomorrow.

Maya.

I've found out that
the Dragons have your dope.

- The Dragons?
- How do we find them?

That's the question.

Maya, Sakura isn't
the head of the Dragons.

It's Yuri, the younger sister
of Sakura's old boss.

Yuri?

Sakura injured her in a motorcycle
accident a long time ago.

He's stuck to her like a shadow
ever since.

Sakura's kept it secret all this time.

He might even be in love with her.

Really?

Where can she be found?

Sakura?

So you're the one
secretly running the Dragons.

And you are...?

We're the ones
you stole the LSD from.

Hand it over.

Search the place.

You're wasting your time.
It's not here.

Tell me where it is.

Maya, you'll live to regret this.

All right, then,
we'll just use you as bait.

You don't need to tie me up.

I won't struggle.

Where's Sakura?

I can't believe you don't know.

He's out selling my acid, right?

- So what if he is?
- Oh, that's cool...

...I'll just collect the money from him.

Yuri?

Is that Sakura?

We've got her.

What did you say?

If you want to trade,

we'll swap her for the drug cash
tomorrow morning.

You fuck...

Do as they say.

For now.

- We'll decide the place.
- Understood.

There he is.

Where's Yuri?

The money first.

Where's Yuri?

Over there.

Tell him where you are.

Sakura...

Got it. I'll be right there.

Yuri, I'm sorry.

They used me.

To pay for an army deserter's escape.

I know.

I want them crushed.

Stop them,
no matter what it takes.

- The ship leaves tomorrow at 8:00.
- Got it.

That's great!

Sorry for the trouble.
We owe you.

Not at all.
Let's give you guys a send-off.

Charlie's waiting.

It's just like he said.

Better tell your friends
you won't be on the boat after all.

- Let's go.
- Just a second.

You fucker!

Maya, they've got Charlie!

Move it!

Shit! We need Hondas!

Here. Hurry!

They'll be headed for Yuri's place.

We'll catch up
if we take a shortcut.

OK, let's go!

Excuse us!

Move it!

Shit!

Sorry, everyone!

Follow me, everyone!

Son of a bitch! Everyone, split up!

Charlie, get on!

Hurry!

Fuck you!

Out of my way!

Dumb fucker!

What happened to Charlie?

All for nothing.
They must've been watching him.

Charlie...

What now, Nobo?

Nothing we can do.

And the boat?

We can board the boat,
if you still want to.

But without Charlie...

...there doesn't seem much point.

That's just what I was thinking.

Get on the boat.

Even just the two of you.

Otherwise everything we've done
will be for nothing.

- Yeah, but...
- You wanted to leave, right?

Charlie wanted to.

But he couldn't.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't.

So, cheer up!

We'll all see you off tomorrow.

That's OK, right?

What's with the long faces?

We'll go and see the guys off
tomorrow.

Maya, telephone for you.

Miki? Where are you?

Is that Maya?

We know you got your information
from Miki.

Now I'm going to make use of her.

If you want to see her alive again,

bring the two guys
to the reclamation site tomorrow.

What's happened to Miki?

The Dragons have got her.

We'll have to handle this
by ourselves.

Everyone stand by me, right?

Of course.

- Maya's in deep trouble.
- What happened?

She's going after the Dragons
to rescue Miki.

What?

She told us not to say anything,
but I'm scared.

- Where's your crew?
- Not here!

- What?
- I never promised they'd be here.

Stupid bitch...

Miki, run!

Bitch!

Maya...
the Dragons don't play games.

This is the end of the line.

Sabu!

You fucker!

Sabu!

Sabu!

Bastard!

Let's roll.

Nobo!

Sabu...

I'm all right.
It's just a flesh wound.

Sabu!

Too late...

I had a feeling
I'd never leave Japan.

Nobo...

Go...

Go by yourself...sometime.

Please.

THE END
