You sound like you're enjoying yourself.
Are you at my place?
I'll just put this down, and I'll be over.
You never married?
No.
Why not?
No reason.
You didn't get around to marriage after 10 years of being together?
The thing is, she was always busy.
What was that?
What makes you so sure?
How did she get her hands on it?
There's her friend. I know him.
I don't think he hung around with crooks.
I don't think she knew anything about it.
He might have had problems...
...she might have agreed to look after it in all innocence.
You think it was to do with drugs?
What do you think?
I don't know.
I don't know at all.
Why?
Why did you have to kill yourself?
Hi.
Where've you been?
Can you leave your mobile on when you're having a drink?
We've got to talk about that screening tomorrow.
What?
It's not a case of 'what'. That time...
...you bit me on the hand and I've still got the scar.
You lost your balance on the platform...
...and nearly got hit by a train,
and I saved you, remember?
What was the big idea?
What's it to you?
You want to do it or not?
Sex. You don't want it?
Hey, there's a man here who wants sex.
Hi. Welcome.
Look. I need to be up early tomorrow.
I don't have time for this sort of thing.
What's more, I don't have any more.
I'm paying you back.
I have a feeling we turned this guy over before.
Yeah, I'm sure we did.
It was one of those times when we were playing the 'subway game'.
He gave us his wallet and disappeared.
What are you on today?
Go get your money and bring it to us at the club.
Don't tell him where we hang out.
It's alright... with this jerk.
Is he trembling?
Don't try anything or you'll be up to your neck in shit.
I'm up to my neck in it already.
You can't make it worse.
Waddayasay, Chisato?
Kiriko...
Where did the gun come from?
Where did you get it?
What's the big joke?
The clients looked very impressed.
My granddaughter's rapt, when your commercials come on.
Goda, get ready for the next one, will you?
Sure.
- So... see you later. - See you later.
He doesn't look too bad.
Even his girl's suicide, hasn't made him take a single day off.
- I wonder... - Yes?
A gun... how can I get one?
What?
Oh...
MODEL GUN SHOP
You're crazy! You know where you'll end up?
Sorry!
Now let's see! Wait!
You want me to tell you how much it's gonna cost you?
How much?
Two million for a gun and 500,000 yen for 5 bullets. All in cash.
How much does it come to altogether?
Two and a half million yen. A lot, huh?
I'll get you the money by tomorrow morning.
This is a deposit.
Can you get me a Chief Special?
If there's a problem, I'm your man.
Don't breathe a word of this to the syndicate. OK?
How's your son these days?
He's doing great.
When you were that age, you were a bit of a slugger...
Isn't that right?
Back then? My memory doesn't stretch that far.
You don't say?
I'm betting this boy's father could kick some ass, at his age.
That was when I was much younger.
The time was right after the second world war.
You didn't need to practice 'cause fighting was what you did.
That's all in the past.
- You want to see my son? - Yes.
Come on in.
Shigeo, some friends.
Hi. Please accept this.
When you rob somebody, make sure he's a weakling.
Thanks for helping us out then.
A Chief's Special?
No, no, I don't. But I got speed and I got grass.
- What's speed? - Drugs.
You mean methedrine?
Oh... are you still in here working?
Ringo Kid: Dismantle gun. Wrap in tin foil to pass customs!!
John Wayne: Lmport in parts, then reassemble gun.
A Better Tomorrow: Make a real gun out of a toy.
Illegally?
Can give you a receipt.
For a toy?
Don't start making trouble.
This size you want it, right?
Yeah, exactly the size of a pencil.
And this, to match, using this...
- Okay. - I want to use it for a long time.
I need it to be really strong. Please.
Hey, this time we really scored.
Use it for happy times, man.
You're going to be seeing stars.
Is it the real thing, this, Goto?
Alright, bitch.
Working here is sweated labor.
This is no paradise,
but if you forget about what might have been, you'll get to like it.
This time you brought the dough, daddy?
Where've they gone? Where've they gone?
I'll tear their heads off!
What's happening?
Hey, that really hurts, asshole!
You suits make me wanna barf!
I don't want any aggravation at my club.
What's with this guy?
He's not part of this.
Go jerk off somewhere else!
- He put the frighteners on you? - No way.
Really? Good, good.
How did you come by this scar?
It happened not long ago.
I was feeling as good as it gets.
I just jumped... into a moving car.
What's this?
Oh, that, nothing. Just some kid with a knife.
Why do you take it on your own... speed?
It's like when I'm eating or having sex...
...I don't like anyone watching me.
Go for it.
CHISATO'S DEAD AT MIDNIGHT TOMORROW.
So what, idiot!
What is it you want from me?
What's happening tomorrow?
Mind your own business.
What's happening tomorrow?
There's this other gang. Got no respect...
so we're going to slug it out with them.
The place?
You're having a fun time?
And I'm the one who's going to tell the boss?
Are you totally sane? Gota, hello...
- No! - A lot of money!
Hey!
You know whose car this is?
What's your game?
Haven't you heard who this car belongs to, asshole?
(in Chinese) Get rid of him fast.
Me?
I'll get a job same as everyone else.
I can't carry on like this.
I'll go to college to do science and engineering.
I got it.
What?
I've got a bat studded with a whole heap of nails to use as a weapon.
What about you?
Me?
I'll only need my fists. I'll beat the holy shit out of them, and flush 'em away.
- We're in this together. - That's right.
I'm off in this direction. See you around.
Hey, Goto.
We're going to put on a real show for those shitheads tonight.
We'll teach them how to spell the word respect.
You don't got problems, do you?
Idei...
I truly do intend to massacre them.
I was told this was the place for guns!
Leave me alone! Too many people!
Lease me one! Sell me one!
I want a Chief's Special. It's got to be a Chief's Special!
I've been observing you.
Do me a favor, and I'll give you this.
Marry me.
I can't return to my country anymore.
More and more, I've always got to find more money.
More money and then more money.
Therefore, becoming the wife of a Japanese man is the best thing for me.
Can I ask you a question?
That man who got killed, the gun belonged to him, right?
He said if he was to die I was to forget him.
So, I'm forgetting everything.
Is this where I sign and put my stamp?
I'll come here sometimes and you can use me as your 'wife'.
Our wedding ceremony.
Kiriko...
They've got more manpower.
No problem. We'll take them.
Goto, you handle that badass over there.
- Don't worry about the others. - Good.
Now, let me think... you and you...
Move it right now.
You stay back there.
Get back and stay there.
Back to base! Back to base!
Back to base!
He's coming after me! I hope you're ready for him!
He's here!
Get over here!
These guys are pussycats.
CHISATO'S DEAD
Stop right there!
Now what...
...I believe we've got ourselves caught up in a little gun play.
In which case...
...take this guy over to the club.
This one better go back to his own pad.
Chisato, Goto, you see to that.
Just don't take him to any damn hospital.
And don't leave that behind...
...don't forget.
Hey...
...you want to die or what?
I've seen this?
Who d'you send this to? I'm asking you...
Take it easy on that speed, will you?
I don't touch it.
What?
I don't do it.
Not now.
What's on your mind?
Don't go too far.
Nothing to do with you.
Why are you...
...always so far ahead of yourself?
What's it to you?
My girl...
...died in this place.
Why did she...
...kill herself?
Alright, you mother! You want to know why?
You're the reason why.
You did it to her.
And you didn't even notice what you did!
All you ever thought of was you...
...and you never even tried to get inside her head.
But it's not just you. You're filth.
I know there're many just like you in the world.
They all killed this woman.
Go ahead.
Do it yourself.
Hey, that's not what I meant.
But it's true...
...I'm the one who didn't want to get married.
But it's OK. OK? Don't worry about it.
I've never much thought about the idea of marriage.
I feel I've always tried to ignore the important things in life.
People have kids because it gives them a reason for staying alive.
Without these things, you get lost,
just like a kite in the wind with your string cut.
This is an answering machine...
... please wait for the tone and leave your message afterwards.
Goda, about the commercials.
I've found a director to do them.
Kiriko...
...my string is just about to break.
We didn't have...
...a child of our own.
Hand over your wad right now!
What do you think you're doing?
Take it!
Hey, everyone knows what's going on.
So take care of it.
Somebody shoot some trash and put it under the highway. He's getting up my nose.
Nice and quiet.
Goto, I'm delegating you... to celebrate your new job.
What's wrong with you? We all know.
You could be a good suit.
Anyone will do. Anyone who smells bad, just zap them...
...and that way you can hold your head up again.
In dreams, you can kill people, and never get caught.
Tokyo is just one big dream.
A dream.
... please leave your message after the tone.
Hi.
Goto's been hanging around...
... in the same place for an hour, holding a gun.
If he's caught with it on him,
it's the last you'll see of it.
How does that grab you?
No...
One more time.
I need to use it once more.
You sure? Is it for sure?
For sure.
I'm here.
And he's there.
Goto was on this bicycle,
and a cop thought he'd stolen it and made out he was a thief.
Cops like that are just filth in uniform.
Goto doesn't take to little men in uniforms.
Hey, you!
Stop right where you are.
Yes?
What's this? You again, huh.
That's not the same bike you had before.
Where're you going at this time of night?
Come here a moment.
Here, I said.
You come here.
What did you say?
What's this?
Have you painted over the registration plate?
You'd better come to the station.
Can we go somewhere to talk about this?
Give me a break!
I'm not wasting my time negotiating with punks.
Excuse me...
Punk!
Just wait!
Hello.
Hand it over.
Give it back. It's mine.
You're crazy.
You'll do.
Shit!
If I'd died with a gun in my hand, that would've been something.
It takes a lot of time and training, to be like you, huh?
Where are you?
Hey, where are you? Hey!
There was a gang fight?
A boxer got shot dead.
A boxer!
We've done a lot of bad things in the course of our career...
But this thing...
shooting the boxer was really shitty.
Rakar can compute what we intend to do in a fraction of a second,
and from that can extrapolate all our moves over the next two years.
Whatever we do, we can't avoid fate.
You didn't shut the door.
I came to ask you a favor.
Two of the gang got killed.
The rest are penned in the club.
It's only a matter of time before the hitman gets to us.
I just wonder if there's any chance of you working with us...
...to take out the hitman? - I'll do it.
I'm afraid.
Let's not do it then.
That's not what I meant.
I'm afraid that I'll survive it. Having to go on is what's frightening.
Are you stupid? You must be out of your tiny mind!
Why bring him in?
Do you really think he'd be any use to us?
You actually gave him the gun!
For all you know, he may be the one who's blown two of us away
Am I getting through to you?
It's OK. I won't use it on you.
What's the problem?
Let him join us.
Cool it, compadres.
Everyone does his own thing.
The game ain't over yet.
What are you trying to do?
Hey... hey.
Have a short nap.
Hey...
No, mom. I'm not coming home!
You kids, you shouldn't play funny games.
Well...
Shall we go?
So long, huh?
Yeah.
