Scorpion!

FEMALE CONVICT SCORPION: GRUDGE SONG

Flattered that I am a precious flower

I bloom for him only to be crushed

Foolish, foolish, such a foolish woman

I sing this grudge song

I grieve and give in to my fate

I plead and he makes me cry again

Crying, crying, a woman crying tears

I sing this grudge song

A crimson rose has thorns

I don't want to be stung but can't help it

Burning, burning, a burning woman

I sing this grudge song

What is this?

What are you doing?

What's the matter?

Nami Matsushima, you're under arrest, for 1st degree murder and prison escape.

Scorpion, you're finally in our hand.

It took us so long, and so many cops to find you.

But now everything's over for you.

I'm sending you to the gallows.

I'm sure Detective Tsugimi and the other officers you've killed are impatiently waiting for you...

...in hell.

What are you doing?

Hey! Hey! Are you alright?

Hey!

Hold on!

Go after her!

Go!

Hey, what happened?

Hey, brother.

I heard you don't like women.

Let me fix you.

Your thing here...

...it's melted!

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!

Get some sleep.

Kudo, where have you been?

We're about to open.

Eat this.

You'll feel better.

Well, I'll see you later.

We used to use this place as our hide out.

I don't understand...

...why I saved you, either.

These are souvenir marks the cops gave me.

You know...

...whenever the wounds act up...

...I come here...

...and shoot them.

No one will find you here.

You shouldn't go out until your wounds heal up.

Wait a minute.

What's going on?

Kudo, aren't you?

Kudo, it's been a long time.

Don't worry.

We aren't here to arrest you this time.

Tell us...

...where are you hiding the woman?

I see...

...you're gonna feign ignorance.

Detective.

You're an admirable woman.

We're thinking of consulting with the Bureau of Censorship...

...and loosening up on their explicit shows in the future.

Nami Matsushima!

She's the woman got out of those handcuffs and escaped.

We believe she's wounded.

She wouldn't have been able to hide unless you've helped her.

Tell us, where is she?

I see.

You can't.

Kudo, you're under arrest for sheltering a criminal!

Kudo...

...it's a strange twist of fate, isn't it?

I've been promoted from Public Safety to Section 1.

Never imagined I run into you again since you dropped out of the so-called revolution.

It seems the stupid mouse keeps running in front of the same cat after all.

Come on and spit it out.

We don't care why you're hiding her, but you've once betrayed your comrade.

You'd only trip over me again.

Say it...

...where's Nami Matsushima?

Let me tell you what the woman's done.

Killed 8 detectives.

Broke from the prison 3 times, attempted escape 28 times.

For the nation's dignity, and for purposes of maintaining law and order...

...her existence that is pure evil shouldn't be condoned.

Say it!

Tripped once, you'll keep tripping.

I'll have to remind you the lesson if you don't confess to us.

We have no choice.

I didn't tell.

I won.

I won over them.

Let me go. - Yeah.

Alright...

...this time around, it's my turn to smash the bastard Kodama.

Catch them alive! Don't shoot them!

There's a secret passage!

What, a secret passage?

Shit!

Your investigation is lenient!

Matsushima and Kudo are a team now.

Therefore, if we shake Kudo down, we can definitely find Matsushima.

I've got us a warrant just in case, so let me know if you need it.

From his old hide-outs, to his family and old friends, look in every nook and cranny!

Hirose and Takai team up.

Uchida and Takizawa team up.

What the hell are you doing?

Has Kudo come around?

Why should I know?

Have you seen a man called Kudo?

Okay, so Kodama told he wouldn't be home tonight.

Oh well, we'll just have to wait 'til he comes home.

Kimiyo? It's me.

Something came up. I don't think I'll be home tonight.

Sorry but let's celebrate your birthday later.

How's our baby doing?

Hey. What's wrong?

Hello? Hello?

You lied.

He was gonna come home tonight.

It's off limits!

I'm Kodama! - Yes, sir.

We're done with the inspection.

I think we can match finger prints.

That's not necessary.

What?

I know who did it.

It's Scorpion.

For several years now, I've been dead.

I only knew how to live like I was dead.

But, now that I've met you...

I feel like I'm who I used to be.

Those cops...

...for vengeance on those bastards who crushed me...

...I swear I'll rip their throats open.

There's a project our group had planned a long time ago.

I can try it again...

...with you.

That's the army base, the foundation of their power.

A large amount of money is transported out of there on the 20th of every month.

That's our target.

They should pass around 10 AM.

Any minute now.

Damn! We're trapped.

Lets' split up. I'll meet you back there.

Go now!

Hey, drop the gun.

Kudo! Surrender already!

Where's Nami Matsushima?

Where's your hide out?

I won't give in.

Bastard!

I'll never tell you.

What?

Hey, don't fall asleep.

Keep awake.

Hey! Once you confess, we'll let you sleep as much as you want.

You've become pretty tough.

That's alright.

As a reward, I'll let you see your favorite person.

Hey.

Come on!

What's the matter, Kudo?

Aren't you happy?

I understand it's been a long time since you last saw your mother.

Such a dirty trick!

Don't be stupid.

Your mother traveled the distance from the faraway town of Hirosaki...

...in hope you'd become a straight citizen.

Hey!

Come on and get up.

Yasuo...

...no holding grudges against the detective.

All of this is happening because of your own doing, you know.

The detective told me everything.

Year after year for so long, how I wished you'd come home.

But I told myself, you were following your own path, and endured my loneliness.

But this one time...

Yasuo!

You've been fooled by that dreadful woman.

You should apologize to the detective right away.

The detective kindly offers, to let you go free as soon as you tell him where the woman is.

The detective says he doesn't think you killed his wife.

He says you aren't a cold hearted man who'd do something like that.

It was the woman who did it.

All you have to do is to tell him where she is and you can go free.

I beg you!

No more breaking your mother's heart!

No more making Ma cry!

Ma...

Ma!

Y... Yasuo...

Nami...

Nami!

Tsuchida! Hang in there!

Hey! Hold on!

Nami Matsushima, you're under arrest!

Surrender!

I'm gonna fuckin' kill you!

You bitch!

Out of the way!!

Come on.

Scorpion, my job is over now that I've caught you.

But I'm not forgiving you for what you've done.

I'll make sure you'll feel it in your bones.

Nami.

You betrayed me.

I... had no choice.

I trusted... in you.

Nami.

Nami...

What are you doing? Work harder.

What are you looking at me for?

It's nobody else's business!

What are you doing?

Go back to your position.

Remember, a speck of dust can make the Chief unhappy.

What are you doing?

Death punishment... is an indispensable ceremony, by which a nation rules its people.

Therefore, we need to pay extra attention for cleanliness around the execution site.

So Scorpion will be executed soon.

Within the next five months.

It depends on what the Minister of Law decides.

The later the better.

Well, I want her to suffer the pain of hell for as long as possible...

...at this infamous prison.

The whip is the best tool when it comes to taming a beast.

You need to make it understand who the master is.

I wish I could keep all convicts for life.

After all they're harmful, and simply useless for our nation.

By the way, how's Scorpion doing?

Incredible!

Warden, take the guests to Cell #4.

Cell #4?

But right now...

That's an order.

No matter how violent the murder one commits, a part of her always seeks Buddha's mercy at heart.

When she first got here after receiving the death sentence, she was out of control.

Now she's completely reformed herself.

I'm convinced that eventually Nami Matsushima will, too.

It saddens me to have to show her in the state she's in...

...but it's the rule to punish her for rebelling.

Miss Daimon...

...could we possibly take her shackles off?

I wish to treat her equally as a human being.

I've asked the Chief about it a number of times but...

If you're worried about the Chief, I can talk to her.

With a kind attitude like that, I'm sure Nami Matsushima will open up her heart.

Matsushima!

I won't let you die on the gallows.

I'll kill you with my own fists.

No one will ever care if you die in here.

We can easily manipulate the record with a piece of paper.

We've still got days to go.

I'll execute you, only after making you suffer enough.

Keep dreaming of the betrayer named Kudo, until the next time you see us.

Damn you!

Get off me!

Damn you!

Please stop, or she'll... - Warden!

She isn't human. She deserves to be punished like that.

Stop it!

Stop right now!

Get up, damn it!

Scorpion isn't an average woman.

You should know she'd only take advantage if you cut her any kind of slack.

Don't even try to make her repent for her sins.

That warden's only making her more arrogant.

As you pointed out, my main concern is that warden, rather than the girls.

You aren't being strict enough!

No matter what happens, you shouldn't harden your heart.

You may not be the only one at fault.

It might be that people around you cornered you in to do what you did.

Still, it doesn't mean, that your sins will ever go away.

What you can do now, is to repent your mistakes...

...and use whatever time you have left, to restore your true self, I think.

That's the only thing you can do now, to make up for your crimes.

Open up your heart.

Even if you've received the death sentence, you could face the day peacefully.

Do you hear that?

That's the voice, of surrendering one self to Holy Buddha.

It's a prayer for forgiveness, so that she can face death with peace of mind.

Her execution has been scheduled to take place, four days from now.

I'm planning to let her know that tomorrow.

I'm convinced she'll accept the news calmly.

Miss Inagaki, this is Miss Nami Matsushima.

She's under death penalty just like you.

So this is the lady who wanted to see me.

I'm sure she can help you with anything you need.

Talk to her.

I'm going to leave now.

Please sit.

Let's ask for forgiveness together.

Ask away but it won't erase the fear of being executed.

You know that, don't you?

You really want to live.

In trying to shake the desire to live, you put on a mask.

You'll be executed four days from now.

You're lying.

Don't give me this shit!

There are ways if you wanna live.

You can use the warden who trusts in you, and get out of here.

Think long and hard about it.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I don't wanna die.

Help me.

Miss Inagaki, hold on tight.

Miss Inagaki?

Help me.

It was nothing.

What did you tell her?

What on earth did you tell her?

Tell me.

This gentleman here, has strongly requested, to witness the execution today.

Detective Kodama from Metropolitan PD.

How's Inagaki doing?

She seems to have regained calmness.

The execution will be carried out at 2PM as scheduled.

What do you think about letting Matsushima be present?

Matsushima?

We can impress upon her how a person gets hang and die.

Miss Inagaki? What's wrong?

No!

No!

Miss Inagaki. - I don't wanna die!

Help me!

Help me, Chief!

What is this?

Hold her down!

Help me!

Murderer!

Help me.

That's how you're gonna end up soon.

Scrub harder!

Damn.

The Chief scolded them, so they're taking it out on us.

I said scrub!

You, don't slow down.

That's right, scrub harder!

Unforgivable.

She was about to go peacefully and you pushed her down to hell.

Demon. You're a demon.

I'll let you know as soon as your execution date is scheduled.

Until then, I hope you'll have nightmares about being hung every night.

Die insane just like she did.

Warden!

Miss Daimon, I have a question I want to ask you.

Can you come with us?

What's this?

Scrub harder!

Work harder.

You got it?

Hey, are you listening?

I think the Chief is calling all of you.

Yes.

What do you need?

What is it?

What are you doing?

Please stop.

Make a loud noise, and the prisoners will hear you.

No.

Police officers shouldn't be doing such a thing.

There's something I want you to do.

If you don't want anybody to find out about this, you'd better do as I say.

Come in.

So, how's she doing?

We can't allow anything disgraceful like that to happen again.

Chief, you won't escape punishment next time.

Please not to worry.

Nami Matsushima seems to have given in to her fate this time around.

The car is waiting at the place I told you.

Is she ready yet?

Yes.

Warden!

Warden, what happened?

What happened, warden?

They're slow. What's taking them so long?

Yes, I'll go take a look.

Chief!

What happened?

She escaped! She escaped!

What, escaped?

Go!

Nami Matsushima ran away!

Chief, what's going on?

You know what it means to let her run loose.

We apologize!

Chief! We'll hold you responsible for this!

She did it! She did it! Scorpion got away!

Come out, Nami Matsushima.

This is the gallows I prepared for you.

Up the steps.

Hey, you.

You, better hurry or the bath house will be closed.

It'll only be a minute. Go on ahead.

Okay, please be quick.

Nami.

I was waiting for you.

Nami...

...forgive me.

I knew...

...this day would come.

It wasn't you who I killed.

I killed the Nami Matsushima who had fallen for you.

Flattered that I am a precious flower

I bloom for him only to be crushed

Foolish, foolish, such a foolish woman

I sing this grudge song

I grieve and give in to my fate

I plead and he makes me cry again

Crying, crying, a woman crying tears

I sing this grudge song

How can a flower bloom when it's whithered away?

It was hatred that made it wilt

Foolish, foolish, what a fool woman was I

I sing this song of grudge
