Mr. Sugita.
Mr. Futami is calling you.
He really wants you to come over.
- Where? - Over there.
Nasty way to die.
- Why can't they be cool? - What?
Say that again.
Why can't they be cool?
OK, smart-ass.

Hey, mister!
Thank you, mister.
Watch out!
Oh? Here it comes.
- Are you all right, little boy? - Hey!
You almost hit the boy. What's the matter with you?
- You jerk! - Teko...
- Let him go. - But this idiot...
Are you OK? You have to be careful.
- That's nothing! - Oh, you're tough.
Do I have to punch you again?
- You understand? - Hey.
Go away, already.
You are nicer than I thought, Jiro.
He's here again, isn't he?
That cop from Kobe is stubborn.
He can't help it. That's his job.
What fun!
I'm surprised this charm hasn't cursed you for your ways.
That's right. You're a half-breed. So, it's a joke?
This is from my mother...
It has miraculous powers.
Another one hurt?
- Sugitaya has passed away. - Sugitaya?
- Jiro, did you... - He did it!
Home run.
Oh, just a baseball game.
Well... It was an accident.
Right in front of you? Bullshit.
Oh, well, I will catch you sooner or later.
Wait.
Isn't that the wrong way?
Would you leave anything at the scene?
I have to see the Tokyo cops off.
Oh, are they leaving?
They finally gave up.
You are so rude to them.
They came a long way to get you, but...
I feel sorry for them.
Kobe...
Passengers en route to Tokyo...
Hi, everybody.
- Why are you here? - I'm seeing the Tokyo guys off.
I'm paying my respects for their long trip.
If you want to show respect, come back with us.
No, thanks. This pier's starting to grow on me.
Of course you won't go back. You're trying to escape the appeal.
You dump on people.
You won't be popular in Tokyo.
What's the number, then? Five?
Assault, extortion, possession of illegal weapons...
- Everything except murder. - He's old-fashioned.
Don't get too comfortable. The cops aren't blind.
Talk to me when you have proof.
Anyway, nice work. See ya.
- Wait, wait. - What is it?
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm a Kobe cop.
So you're still on the case?
Take it easy. You won't last long. Let's go.
Bye.
So you're saying you mishandled the crane.
It was a rush job and we were pushing hard...
And I was really tired.
You killed a man!
- I was... - Hey, how much did you get for that?
- Really? Great... - Don't be a wise-ass!
We figured it all out.
It's the Matsuyama gang, isn't it?
I... I don't know what you are talking about.
- Did he talk? - No, no.
Trying to be a real man and taking the blame all by himself.
It's obviously Futami, don't you think?
The question is, why would
the Matsuyamas kill Sugitaya?
If we can pin anything on him and make an arrest, he'll talk.
My God, it's hot!
Sorry about Sugitaya.
Oh, you're a decent one.
If you are sorry, then do a little snooping on the Matsuyama gang.
A revenge plot?
I just remembered the Matsuyama gang
- is having a meeting tonight. - What? Where?
I won't give it up for free.
If there is a big...
You look spooky... Why are you smiling?
It's impressive, seeing him cross the dangerous bridge.
Well, don't worry.
Game!
Bet.
Three.
Next!
Everyone bet! Come on, bet!
Closed.
Go one more.
One more.
What did you say? Are you serious?
Give me 20 minutes, you'll see. I can't help it.
You're so stingy.
That's enough now, OK?
- The man from Tokyo is popular. - He really is.
Soon, all of Kobe's women will be lusting after him.
What can I say... It's all about sex appeal.
Sir, cops are here, snooping around.
Wait a minute.
Don't panic.
Do you want to tip off the cops?
- But we should... - Let me handle this.
In these situations, I come prepared.
Brother, will it be all right?
You're silly. Don't be nervous.
There is no law saying we can't use fireworks in Kobe.
But we're up against cops! They're coming!
I owe you, Jiro. Our boss will thank you later.
Don't mention it. This is what a freeloader is for.
A very enthusiastic freeloader. Oh, I just remembered...
She's been waiting for you.
It's a consequence of my own deeds.
- Teko! I'm here! - OK.
Hey...
You're doing well, Jiro. You shouldn't make Mami angry.
Yeah, it's not a good idea to make the Matsuyamas angry.
- What are you talking about? - Don't try to fool me.
It's about the raid. You get a tip...
You get known among cops, get paid...
What more can you ask for?
Stop making fun of me.
I can't compete with you.
You have a lousy poker face.
That was good.
Ms. Mami, beautiful as always.
Welcome!
Honey, stop.
Paku, take care of her.
No problem.
- Teko, let's go. - OK.
Michi, let's go.
Are you going already?
Oh, is there any problem?
Of course there is. She stays.
- Wanna fight? - Let's do it.
- What are you looking at? - The ocean.
That's about the only thing in Kobe...
You are missing Tokyo, aren't you?
I can go back to Tokyo anytime.
I'd rather...
I'd rather go somewhere across the ocean.
That sounds great. I want to go with you.
Sorry, but I need
something completely different.
So, you're saying it'll be different without me?
Of course. Think about it.
You're tired of me, is that it?
Yes. I'm tired of you.
No! I don't care, I won't let you go.
Jiro!
Hey, stop it. You look ridiculous.
Where are you going?
Jiro!
Weren't you going to the port festival with me?
I don't like festivals.
And I don't like women who argue pointlessly.
Hey, little boy.
Hi, mister from the other day.
- You look cool with a harmonica. - My dad bought it for me.
You have a nice dad.
But he died.
- May I borrow it? I'll play it for you. - OK.
Yacchan, come over here.
- Your mom is calling you. - She is not my mom. She's my aunt.
- We're boarding now. - Wow. I will go with you!
That's why I'm here.
He's a handful. I hope he wasn't bothering you.
Thank you. Let's go.
See you again, mister.
- Did you get everything? - No, one more.
Come, that's it.
- Hold on tight. - OK.
Here is your harmonica.
RESTAURANT SUGITAYA
Oh? What are you doing? You can't do that.
- Are you coming with us, mister? - No, he won't.
Let's go together.
Hey!
Hello!
Grandpa! Good morning!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Don't go too fast. Remember it's old, like me.
Sorry to bother you.
Old man, please try not to lecture me.
OK. I don't care what you do elsewhere,
just don't bother her.
I got it.
She's Sugitaya's younger sister.
I guessed it. I saw the flag.
She was in Tokyo, studying at an all-women's college
but came back because of her brother's death.
She grew up rich, but now she has to work like that...
She has enough to worry about.
So she's back from Tokyo.
What was your favorite bar in Shinjuku?
Favorite bar? We usually had tea and went to the movies.
Oh, Ran's a good place.
Ran. They have stuck-up waiters there.
That's right.
But there were cute ones, too.
Yeah, you're right.
We could have met in Tokyo if your brother wasn't killed.
- Killed? - Yeah, killed by a crane.
Mom!
Hello!
Mom!
- That was boring. - Why?
Auntie was only talking to him.
What are you looking at? Do I have something on my face?
I was checking to see if you had an alligator bite or something.
You sweated so much. Let's go wash your face.
Welcome. What would you like?
A glass of water first.
The women in Tokyo must've gotten their farewell cups from you.
- That's not nice. - I can't help it.
As long as Noro's here, it will be Jiro's grave.
Here you go.
Wow.
I can't even relax when he's here.
I'll be in Nankinmachi tonight.
That's right, there's a port festival.
Maybe I will see you there.
Keiko, you are not planning to go there, are you?
But what he said was weird.
Weird?
- He said my brother was killed. - What?
That's ridiculous. Don't believe him.
That's strange. Even you are getting nervous.
That's silly.
Anyway, he is known as "Lefty" Jiro
and even his men are scared of him.
And he is very smart to have someone else to blame,
so he's never been caught, not once.
And he is extremely kind to women and children.
Be very careful, Keiko.
Don't say such a thing.
No, I'm not joking.
He is living in a world you could never imagine.
Don't forget that.
PORT FESTIVAL
Man, I was
kicked out by the Tokyo guys and I don't have a place to sleep.
- So you're homeless? - Yeah.
- Then stay at my place. - Oh, really?
- Perhaps you're going to Mami? - Silly.
Hey. You two are hanging out together, as usual.
You are following me, as usual.
- So we got a trio here. - No way.
OK. But if Sugitaya's sister shows up, get lost.
Sorry, but she won't come.
She's a decent girl.
Unlike you. Also, I wouldn't allow it.
Here.
Oh. Isn't this bribery?
- Did she say anything about me? - Who?
- That girl. - You're a fool.
Don't be jealous, old man.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. Jiro, it's always been...
- You. - Not a chance.
It's not nice to have a lover with handcuffs.
By the way...
By the way what?
She really didn't say anything about me?
Not at all.
She didn't mention you, and she really hates these festivals.
Oh, really?
Wait!
You came.
I just came for the festival.
All the same. Come on.
Wow... Brother!
This is a mess!
What are you doing, Paku?
I'm here with Mami. I'm in love with her.
Being sneaky while Jiro's gone?
What about Jiro?
He is with Sugitaya's sister.
Mami, stand up for yourself. Jiro is the best match for you.
Don't let him go.
KOBE PORT FESTIVAL
Hey... I want to ask you something.
Is this an interrogation? Go ahead.
Was my brother killed?
Who said such a thing?
You did.
Oh, that.
- I said he was killed by a crane. - You lied.
When I asked you, you got nervous.
When I asked Mr. Noro, he was, too.
He's a silly cop. Anyway, I don't know about it.
If you want to know, ask Noro.
Or doesn't your college teach that sort of thing?
Let's keep things romantic.
Are you shocked I have one of these?
You're hurt.
- I'm all right. - You should go to the hospital.
It's just a scratch.
Wow.
Did you learn this at school?
You can go now.
- Excuse me for interrupting. - Oh, it's just you.
Yes, it's just me.
You said you wouldn't go to the festival. But you're here!
Who is she?
- Are you running away? - Stop!
- Could you tend to my injury? - No!
I'm not gonna let you go!
No one can take you away from me. You're mine!
Good morning!
- Auntie, is Teko out? - Don't know.
Teko!
What do you want?
Is Teko there?
Teko?
I don't know.
RESTAURANT SUGITAYA
You're so noisy. Go outside!
Bleah!
Whatever.
I heard you had a good time last night.
I don't blame you.
Jiro is so handsome.
Where are you meeting him today?
What you are talking about?
Yeah, right.
Really.
You're acting suspicious.
Jiro is hanging out
at a place called Plantan, in the basement of Kokusai...
Never mind.
Highball, and double-shot.
We only sell alcohol at night.
What a stingy store. Tea, then.
With whiskey.
The store hasn't opened yet.
Oh, is that so?
Hey, you.
What are you doing here?
I'm getting information about the crane accident.
I thought you were looking for a Tokyo girl.
I heard she's such a slut.
She lures a man away, saying she wants to find out the cause of her brother's death.
Paku...
Be careful.
She doesn't even know her brother was a drug dealer.
And she acts like she's from a good family.
What did you say?
- Drug dealer? - Mami, Mami.
Please tell me. What happened to my brother?
Oh, you don't know?
You went out with Jiro,
and you didn't find out?
Mr. Noro, Paku, over here,
and everyone in this port town knows.
The only person who doesn't know it is his own sister...
Paku, at that place, what time did you say?
Well, I think around 1:00.
What is it?
Oh, it's about the festival.
This is a good tip.
It will cost you.
I won't pay until I hear it.
We are talking about Keiko from Sugitaya.
See, now you are paying attention.
I guess I thought it'd be more.
Keiko will be waiting for you at Plantan.
Really?
We're playing such a minor role here.
Can't go for the double play.
Baseball game, again?
And you are stealing Mami from him, right?
Have you been waiting for a long time? Let's go.
- Where to? - We can talk later. Let's go.
I'm going, Teko.
Bye, sir.
Hey, Michi. Let's go.
Now it's our turn.
What's wrong?
It's that man!
- What about him? - He was in your room.
- Oh, that's the guest. - He has a gun.
- And he shot Jiro's photo. - Shot my brother's photo?
Yes, with a silencer. Go tell Jiro, hurry.
Wait. How could I tell him without knowing what's going on?
It'll be OK.
I have to show I'm a man.
I'll take care of it.
It's dangerous.
I'm trying to scare you.
He's persistent...
What is it?
Someone's following us.
OK...
Can I borrow your lighter?
Sure. Of course.
Thank you very much.
What's up with him?
He's a little crazy.
Hey, want to go for a walk?
I love to watch the ocean.
Why the long face?
Does that man bother you?
No.
Then what is it?
Tell me.
- What was my brother doing? - Here you go again.
You're stubborn.
Transporting drugs?
Who told you that?
- Mami, I think that's her name. - That fool.
Please tell me.
I don't know about it.
I heard about it.
No one told me, but I found out...
Found out what?
After our father passed away...
My brother took out a loan to open the store.
He also wanted to succeed
and wanted me to graduate from college.
But his loan was too big to handle.
That's why he dealt drugs.
And when he was just about to get out of it, he got killed.
Still, I can't forgive his killer.
Regardless of what my brother did, I will never forgive his killer.
Don't take things so seriously. Look at the ocean instead.
It's such a beautiful color.
Oh, how I wish to go across the ocean.
Where nobody knows me.
What will you do there?
Whatever I want. Anything, as long as it's different.
I was
a homeless child for as long as I can remember.
I was in a gang from the start.
So I don't know any other way of life.
What about your parents?
I don't know them.
The only face I remember is a teacher from reform school.
So...
If I could start my life over again,
I'd want to do something completely different.
I'm so sick of this life.
You sound unhappy.
Unhappy? Happiness is nothing to me.
No, you are wrong.
Everybody ought to be happy.
That college keeps you in a fantasy land, doesn't it?
You shouldn't criticize them.
When I first saw you,
you were playing harmonica for Yacchan.
And I thought you were kind.
Stop it!
What's wrong?
I get goosebumps when people tell me I'm kind.
You should ask someone, or even Noda,
what kind of man "Lefty" Jiro is.
- I have. - What?
And you already showed me your pistol.
Please.
MATSUYAMA CORPORATION
Well, well...
It's so hot. Don't be so formal.
Thank you for coming from so far.
- It is still hot in Tokyo, isn't it? - Yes.
Kobe is better... Maybe with the ocean wind.
How's Mr. Fujita doing?
He's doing well, thank you.
Also I apologize about Jiro making trouble.
He has too much energy.
Send him back to Tokyo quickly.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
So what brought you here this time?
I want to ask you a favor.
Mr. Katsumata, it's for you.
Katsumata speaking.
You arrived right on time.
It's just like you.
Me?
Missed my chance again.
I can't get the better of him.
He's quite a guy.
I respect him.
Does that mean
you can't do it?
No.
When I respect a guy, it's even more fun.
Don't worry. Leave it to me.
I got it.
I'm sorry for interrupting you earlier.
And this time, as well?
There's a festival tonight.
And?
Will you go with me?
What happened to Teko?
I can't find him anywhere.
I love the port festival.
Especially the loud firecrackers.
So where are you supposed to meet him?
It's here.
Here?
Down the alley.
Weird meeting place...
Wait here.
I hope you get slaughtered!
That's too bad. You are a good girl.
I'm not done with you yet.
Is it you who wanted to meet me?
Who else?
Are you picking a fight with my brother?
Whatever. Listen.
Your girlfriend is waiting over there.
What?
Don't fool yourself.
She is waiting for me.
Don't panic.
Wait for the fireworks.
We don't want to get caught, do we?
All right.
I am dreaming about
Far across the ocean
The sky is blue
My heart is excited
A love born at the port is
Such a happy thing
White clouds are
Always floating
The ocean is blue
You look happy.
The smell of the sea
The pier is red
The sun is burning
The glowing clouds
We sing joyously
The ocean is calling you
The wind is blowing
I don't know where to
But I want to go far
A big dream is
Filling my heart
Hello. You seem to be doing well.
Whenever I see you.
- You saw her again? - Who?
Sugitaya's sister.
You move fast.
Yeah.
You're not a bad guy, for a cop.
You can't do better than that?
Hey, look at the blue sky.
The clouds are white and the port is green.
And everyone's still alive.
That's right.
But Teko is dead.
What?
A perfect shot.
Straight through his heart.
You!
No way! Stop! Why would I?
Who did it?
If I knew, he'd be in jail.
You're a pain in the ass. I almost choked.
I just
went to see Teko at the morgue
and put a white cloth over his dead face.
This must be hard on you.
You were fond of him.
He had
a frozen look on his face that's hard to explain.
Shut up!
Go away if you are done.
You are not the kind of person who will be quiet about this.
You will do it.
You'll find the killer and finish him off.
But I'll catch you.
You're a clever guy.
Think about it.
Teko was more like a bodyguard.
Didn't have a real job.
Always hanging out there.
I'm always prepared.
But I didn't plan for this.
It's your fault.
At this point, we should hurry and finish the rest of the job.
Understood, but Jiro is a sad case, after all.
Why?
He was betrayed by the people he trusted.
Listen. You know Jiro.
He'll have his revenge when he finds the killer.
The girl is the key.
For sure he will find the killer.
We use her as bait.
That's right.
Mami speaking.
You want me to do you a favor?
You never come to see me and now you're asking me for a favor?
Teko was murdered last night.
And Michi disappeared.
I can't find her and nobody knows where she is.
There must be a good reason.
Can you find out?
How long are you going to be here?
I want to
ask him that.
Where's Jiro?
You see what I mean?
Sorry I took so long.
I've been busy running errands till now.
What did you find out?
I heard she was hanging out with a stranger from Tokyo.
A stranger from Tokyo?
Who did you hear this from?
From Mr. Tanabe.
Tanabe?
Jiro.
What about a reward?
You are a good woman.
Thank you.
KOBE PORT OHGl-MARU
What's taking so long...
Please.
I won't tell anybody.
Let me go.
You look better when you cry.
Damn it!
Stick 'em up.
Both hands.
You are the man from yesterday.
Tell me why you were trying to kill me.
I couldn't keep up with you.
I never thought that anyone could be faster than me.
That's not important. Tell me who sent you.
Tell me!
Jiro, he is the one who shot Teko.
You finally figured it out.
Stop talking and just do it.
You hurt me, too...
You really hurt me, too.
Michi, you have to run!
No, I will stay.
- I killed him. - No, I did it.
Go, run!
Jiro...
I avenged my lover. Don't get in my way.
I see. But it was self-defense!
Don't forget that.
This is his charm.
Take care of it.
Damn it! We missed him.
No. I did it.
He killed Teko.
So I killed him.
And you're skilled enough to aim for his right hand...
Take care of her.
I'll go after him.
- Welcome back. - Oh, thank you for your work.
I will finish up. Go get some rest.
- You will? Thank you so much. - Good night, auntie.
Good night.
Welcome.
- Oh, are you closing already? - Yes.
But I still have a customer.
Welcome.
Are you bothering me again?
It was used just now.
This is yours, isn't it?
No way.
I am not that crazy, walking around with that thing.
Oh, I just heard some noise.
I could hear it from here.
Keiko, didn't he just come running in here?
No.
Jiro has been here for about 30 minutes.
Oh, really?
30 minutes and only a glass of water?
What a stingy customer.
OK, so Michi killed him, right?
But before she killed him,
someone shot him in the arm. Perhaps you did.
Oh, am I boring you? I'll leave, then.
Oh, Jiro.
Did you know your chief is here from Tokyo?
My chief?
You didn't know?
- That's odd. - It is odd.
I'm his first contact.
That's why it's odd.
I'll fill you in, just in case...
The guy Tsuchida, who is suspected of killing Teko,
came here two, three days ago and hung out with Tanabe at the Blue Harbor.
There must be some connection to Katsumata coming here.
Shut up.
You don't understand who we are.
I don't care about me...
You better not say anything bad about my brother... Or else.
You poor thing.
You are so narrow-minded.
You can only see your small world.
You have superficial loyalties
and you don't even realize how corrupt they are.
Listen...
I'm telling you this because I like you.
- You like me? - Sure.
I took care of you for so long,
I can't just hand you over to them.
I'm the one who should see you fry.
OK, good night.
Don't touch me.
- Why? - No!
I don't like people who shoot guns and who have the police hunting them.
I don't want to hide behind a lie.
I told you so.
No.
You can throw the gun away.
I can't help it.
I was born to be a yakuza.
Ever since I was born,
I've been deep into this mess.
Without guns,
a person won't survive.
Someone like you, from a good family, wouldn't understand.
Jiro.
My gun has kept me alive.
I can't just throw it away.
Jiro!
She's got a nice body.
She's Jiro's girl.
Jiro's?
Jiro must be dead by now.
That's right,
so Mami is a widow.
Shall I bring her here later?
Wow. Jiro.
So Tsuchida is killed...
Hey, brother.
You could have told me you were coming.
Don't act like you don't know me.
I had business in Osaka. It's a short stay.
Still you could have called me.
Calm down. Katsumata's in a vulnerable position.
He can't always tell you everything.
Don't just stand there. Join us.
- How is our boss doing? - Doing good.
He's feeling weak lately.
He is thinking of bringing you back.
I appreciate that. It's not safe around here these days.
Hold on, Mr. Tanabe.
I feel sorry for you, but I had to put Tsuchida to sleep.
Tsuchida? I don't know him.
Master, the police are here.
Brother, I'm in a little bit of trouble.
I don't want to get you involved, so please excuse me.
Jiro.
I was worried. Did you find Michi?
Yeah.
- She was with Teko's killer. - What?
Ms. Mami, Master needs you at Mr. Katsumata's table right away.
Well, well...
You are popular.
- What are you saying? I was... - I got it.
I just came to thank you.
Jiro!
I just can't figure out how the hell that girl got the gun...
We're wondering the same thing. I thought you'd know.
No, no way.
Wait...
Do you remember anything?
Oh, no, no.
Perhaps Michi was in a love triangle, after all.
- Did you invite me here? - Yeah.
I want the kind of elegant woman that you can't even find in Tokyo.
I heard you were Jiro's lover.
Hardly. I have a place for rent, if anyone's looking to be my tenant.
I could be your tenant.
The rent doesn't come cheap. It'll cost you.
Mami...
You told me to sit here and now you're telling me to go away.
Just one minute.
That means, Jiro...
He doesn't have a gun.
I will...
OK, then...
Leave it to me.
Are you all done?
Sorry.
Living alone without a tenant is really sad.
I get very lonely.
I hope someone will get a room with me.
Where is he?
Just as I thought.
Welcome.
A couple just came in here, right? Which room?
Yes, well, it's room 11.
Dark moon of 11. It's bad luck.
Let me wait here.
Wow. What a gorgeous room you got!
- But it's weird. - What is?
Why are you guys chasing Jiro?
Chasing him? No.
Jiro is my adorable brother.
Yes, he's your brother.
Anyway...
That's right...
You said Michi shot him with Jiro's gun...
In that case Jiro doesn't have a gun.
So the Futamis...
- It's too late. - What?
You're a really good woman. You devote yourself to a man.
I like it.
It's a shame you're going to be a widow.
So you are...
That's why I offered you...
It's such a waste, making her a widow.
That's why I couldn't decide.
You...
I know. As you guessed, I'm unarmed.
I don't have any weapons.
Now, brother, you aren't joking.
I don't have a clue why you want me dead.
OK. I will tell you
before you die.
I haven't told anyone, but our boss collapsed the other day.
What?
It is common nowadays, it's called encephalomalacia.
He is totally disabled.
He knows how bad it is, and now he's looking for a successor in a hurry.
The person he loves most is you, Jiro.
He wants you back right away. How could I keep quiet?
Brother, I don't care what our boss said.
Do you think I will let it happen?
You're so naive.
You're OK now, but it'll change you.
Stop it!
Since I was a messed-up 17-year-old,
I trusted you more than my real brothers.
That's your choice.
To me, you were a total pain in the ass.
He was always calling out to you.
I've been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Then, you...
That's right.
I was always thinking of killing you.
Jiro!
You stay there.
These days, it's not cool to kill a couple together.
Now you know, so you shouldn't have any regrets.
OK?
Damn it, listen!
I am so sad to know that...
I was such a fool to trust you.
I'm a fool!
I'm a miserable idiot.
You moron...
Stop! Stop it!
He's dead.
You did it, Jiro.
Now let's go.
Stop right there.
The police are investigating inside.
Don't let anybody in yet.
Sure. Thank you.
An executive member of the Fujita gang of Tokyo, Tominaga Jiro,
so-called "Lefty" Jiro is being sought for murder.
A warrant has been issued.
The police suspect that he is still hiding in the city.
He is on the run with a female suspect.
Now, usually you'd be thrown in jail for interfering with a public servant.
I can't believe what you have done.
How stupid.
My hands are still sore.
Go ahead, throw me in jail or wherever.
I am the one who wants to see Jiro.
He left me and ran away!
I want to crawl into a hole!
- What bad acting. - What?
- Is she acting? - Of course.
- Let her go off for a while, but follow her. - Sure.
I have somewhere to be.
TRAVEL GOODS SANYO CO.
How about just walking together like a couple?
Oh, my God, is that right? It's so scary.
For sure I will let you know when he comes by.
I can't believe he did it...
Wait...
You are worried about him.
My instinct tells me that he will surely come here.
A cornered man is like an injured beast.
He can't think straight.
He will come to the one he loves most.
Yes.
I'm not the smartest, but I can see that.
I like Jiro, too.
That's why I want to save him.
I want to wash his sins out and give him a fresh start.
It's not too late yet.
But if he remains a criminal,
he won't get past it.
Do you understand what I am telling you? Don't forget that.
Promise me you'll tell me if he contacts you.
This way.
Hello, mama-san.
Wow. Your place is popular!
It's popular with guests who don't pay.
They woke me up early this morning,
and I'm with someone new.
I've also brought you those things that you wanted.
- Oh, thank you... - Wait a minute.
No, no, no! You can't!
No, no! You can't open it!
- Here you go! - What is it?
Give it back!
- What is it? - Give it to me!
Give it back to me!
Fancy lingerie.
That's why I told you not to open it.
Do you still wear this kind of thing?
You shouldn't laugh. It's rude.
I am not dead yet.
MAKE PLANS FOR A SHIP TO HONG KONG FOR ME
Hello!
Mama, what happened?
A date with the old man!
Hey, old man! You got a date!
How's everyone doing?
- You've got big news? - It's the other way around.
- So this is what you came here for. - You're making money, too.
You're being mean. Anyway, hot enough for you?
That's it. This is what you are looking for.
- What is it? It's scary. - I have to use your newspaper.
What for?
- Don't worry. Let's go. - No, I'll be in trouble.
The newspaper is a sacred medium.
You don't want to help?
Then I'll have to remember everything you've done.
Jiro, it's me, mama.
It's hot, isn't it?
- How do you like it here? - Not bad.
- It's better than your place. - Oh, don't be bitter.
- I'm glad you're doing well. - Yeah.
I've been exercising all morning.
Plans for the ship went well.
I found a ship leaving at 10:00 tonight,
- and the old man made a deal. - Did he? Thank you.
At 9:00 tonight, the old ma will be waiting by the first warehouse at the American port.
- I will have the car ready around 8:00. - Got it. Thank you.
Everything will be all right.
Now I don't have to worry about my wicked son.
You'll be free to relax and your hair will turn gray.
- Oh, and please take Mami with you. - What?
That's not a good idea.
Come on. It's my last favor.
I can't do it.
Jiro.
You can't be with an amateur.
You should know that.
You will make each other unhappy.
Mami is a good girl.
You can't find someone like her anywhere.
You are a lucky man.
I know.
I know. I understand everything.

Disappointing police management.
It's an interesting story to write with detectives.
- It's ironic, isn't it? - Thank you very much.
It's such a privilege to help you guys.
Let's triple the amount we usually print.
Distribute them to Anakuma, Nankin, the sea-front street.
You guys go to Sugitaya right away.
No. I don't want to go to the hospital. I'm fine.
But Mr. Noro insists it is not safe here.
- Don't be selfish. - That's a lie.
It's not dangerous.
He will never hurt me.
What if it's dangerous for him?
As long as you stay here,
Jiro will come.
That's how he is.
If you are not here,
he will give up and run.
He wouldn't go to an unknown island
and get caught. He is not stupid.
But when it comes to Noro,
he must have other plans...
But I believe this will work.
If you want to save Jiro,
you should go to the hospital.
You see, this is a port.
If he goes a little further, he'll be free.
Mister. Thank you.
MS. KEIKO SERIOUSLY ILL HOSPITALIZED AT YAMANOTE
You shouldn't go there.
I know. I'm not that stupid.
Auntie, let's play.
I've changed my mind. I want to go back.
- What? - Just go back.
Sure.
It's bad. Time is running out.
Please wait a little. Five more minutes.
This is bad.
I didn't think he would.
He is a smart guy.
He went to the hospital.
What about the hospital?
He killed three of the Matsuyamas?
Noro, see what happened?
I shouldn't have trusted you.
I wonder what gun he used.
This is not the time to talk about such a thing.
He shouldn't be too far now.
We don't have much to go on...
Do you think he will really show up?
He'll show up. Cos if he doesn't, he's not the one for me.
Right.
Head out quickly, hurry.
Get out.
What happened, Mami? Is there someone you're visiting in the ER?
You came to see Jiro.
Let me see Jiro.
Why should I?
How did you know Jiro might come here?
Because he didn't show up.
Didn't show up? What time were you supposed to meet him?
You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
But if he didn't catch a boat...
Yacchan...
- Can I borrow that? - Here you go.
You couldn't see her.
You stopped yourself.
You will understand.
That's my Jiro.
YAMANOTE HOSPITAL
Jiro!
Do me a favor.
Please don't give her a hard time.
THE END
