Oh you're still here.
Go back to work.
One, two, three, four.
So it is four.
Three, four, five, six and...
Damn, switch it off.
Hey, what's wrong young man.
You can't go in there!
Stop this work!
Make them stop.
AW Problem?
Are you deaf?
Make them stop.
I can't do that.
Stop it now!
- But I... - I said stop it now!
What the hell's going on here.
Listen to me.
See? I'm trying to Study-So"!!...
I can't concentrate with all this pounding.
What are you talking about, stupid?
Who are you talking to shit-face?
What did you say?
- Stop it! - Hey, hey, hey.
Do you know what it's like to fail?
He is failing.
- For 4 years already. - He's been failing.
Understand I'm at the limit.
- That's not our fault you idiot. - I'm talking now!
Let's call the police.
No need to call the police. Listen.
We are working.
It can't be helped.
Of course, it can be.
Do you live around here? How about I walk you home?
That's none of your business.
We're in trouble, are we?
That's me, I'm in trouble.
Have you tried earplugs?
Earplugs?
Why should I have to wear earplugs because of you?
How can I hear my lessons on the radio?
I'm trying to leam English.
I hate having things in my ears.
What the fuck are you talking about, moron!
- Stop it! - Idiot!
Do you want a fucking fight?
You bastard!
That's dangerous.
What will you do if I fail the exam again?
Okay, we'll be quiet.
You have to be totally quiet.

Hey, Mr. President.
How's your sex life?
Look at the pictures.
Lots of pretty gins.
See, Mr. President?
Hey!
Don't you ignore me.
You're fancy looking.
Don't put on airs, asshole.
Are you so special?
What're you saying?
It is impossible.
You look really cheap, man.
I am asking you 'cause it's my job.
Don't get me wrong.
Come here.
Come on, I'm not going to hurt you.
Hey, hey, hey...
Considering what you look like that's one fine suit, man.
What's your job?
I don't have a job.
Then why the suit?
I had a job interview.
A job interview?
Yes.
You're unemployed right?
Right.
Hey, hey, hey... Gimme a break.
There you are unemployed and in a nice suit,
whilst here I am working hard and looking like shit.
Why. why?
Why?
I don't know.
Say it again?
I don't know.
You're so right. I don't know either.
I really don't understand it at all.
I think I am working so hard, but I don't have any money.
I doubt my bank account has a hole.
Alas, life is unfair.
So right.
I'm fed up.
How old are you?
What?
You idiot, I was asking your age.
Ah, twenty-four.
- 24. - Yes.
Well, I'm only one year older than you.
At junior high school could you ignore senior classmates?
No, I couldn't.
That's right, so how come you can ignore me?
Well.
I was just going home.
I know we are not students now,
but I am one year senior to you in life.
I didn't take this job willingly,
but I have to survive. Do you understand?
So now, understood right?
It's down here.
A customer has arrived.
Welcome to our club.
Girls, get to work.
Boobies, boobies, boobies, boobies,
Fondle, fondle, suck, suck,
If the economy is down the pan, sex will make it right.
Table no. 1 for the customer.
Three rounds and go for it.
Hana go to table 1
Three rounds and go for it.
Hana go to table 1
Three rounds and go for it.
- Hello. - Hana go to table 1.
Enjoy the night, we'll make your day.
Takahiro.
H ey-Do you have anytime tomorrow?
Why?
I need to talk to you.
- Talk now. - I can't now.
Is it something to wony about?
Can we do it tomorrow?
So is that all right?
Yes, I have nothing on.
Okay, I'll see you before work.
- Go home. - Yes, sir.
Takahiro.
Get off home now.
Yes, sir.
Are you going out soon?
It's still afternoon.
I have something to do.
What?
Aren't you working?
I was fired.
Right.
Put on some water to boil.
What are you reading?
Ozamu Dazai.
Can you understand it?
Half of it.
Why are you suddenly interested in so called "literature"?
Trying to be smart.
What?
You won't get smart reading a Dazai novel.
You read a little bit of bloody literature and understand a little,
but you can't make even one penny.
If you've time to read, go find a job.
Enough!
I've lost the page I was reading.
I thought you wouldn't notice.
Where am I?
Fuck off. Go to work!
Don't get angry.
I'm not!
Who is it?
Right!
Who is it?
For heaven's sake.
I'm coming.
Tokyo Playboy Club Office
Katsutoshi!
What a nice surprise!
Long time no see.
You look old, Mr. Seikichi.
Shut up!
Come in.
You could ring me sometimes.
My mobile was broken.
What if the club had been knocked down?
I'd have found somewhere.
- Here. - Thanks.
Clubs around here are changing quickly.
Some have closed or been nabbed It's difficult to last long.
This is the oldest establishment.
Is business thriving?
So, so.
Right.
Why did you come to Tokyo?
Well...
for many reasons.
I can imagine what's happening with you.
You're not so young anymore.
I know.
I know, but...
Well, you can stay here.
The hoodlums come here often,
plus the bloody police and yakuza are united, but...
it's not so bad when you get used to it.
Thanks.
No problem.
Hi.
This is your day off, right?
Yes.
So, what did you want?
What is it? You look all weird. Don't fidget.
Do you need a pee?
I am...
Spit it out!
I'm... pregnant.
Ready to order?
Iced coffee.
You are joking!
It's...
mine?
- I... - I don't care.
I don't care if it is one baby or twins.
I don't care.
From now...
Well, I suppose I have to think of a baby's name.
What shall I do?
These days we have to go to a fortune-teller
or the number of strokes in a Chinese character.
So"!!...
I'm not going to trouble you.
I have to quit my job.
Hey! Don't be stupid!
It's my baby...
You want money?
Don't wony about money.
So how much do you need?
You have to go to the hospital. Get the baby checked.
We have to buy milk,
a buggy.
Clothes and toys.
We have to move to a new house.
It's all right.
It's all right. I will manage it.
It's perfect timing.
We're hoping to settle down and have a nonnal life.
This is a good chance to achieve that.
Don't you agree?
Honestly, I have been thinking about getting out of this crap city
with the money I have eamed.
Wait a minute.
Hello.
Good afternoon.
I've some odds and ends to do,
can you look after the club tonight?
Sure.
What?
Have you just woken up?
No, I haven't.
I'm okay.
I'll run to the office.
Right now.
Sure.
What a weird guy.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
Being a manager is a hard job.
Let me try it!
Oh, you really think you can do it.
What's it worth?
Did you know that a bar manager gets $1,000 plus.
It's too cheap. Half what I expected.
Don't be stupid.
That's the life.
How much do you make?
One employee makes around $500.
That's all.
It costs a bomb.
Money for costumes, travel and for an apartment.
You have to pay for an apartment?
At the beginning, and then I deduct it from salaries.
How much do you really get?
200 dollars.
You're joking. Don't be stupid.
I could get a little more...
What are you worth?
Hard job.
- Life is hard everywhere. - It is.
- I'm going to the toilet. - Okay.
I can't go if you're watching.
I'm not watching.
What?
Have you no decency, huh?
I can't pee now, you bastard!
What?
What did you say, you bastard! I'll kill you buddy!
Why don't you say something? Speak!
Give me a cigarette.
Sure.
You're bleeding.
What's wrong?
You... Are you okay?
What's wrong, bro?
You're injured.
Wait. Wait. Umezo.
Hey, Seikichi.
You been drinking too?
That man is with you?
This man is well... Bullshit.
Just got in a fight, damn you.
Shut up!
Idiot! Calm down.
Katsutoshi, come here.
You're not from around here are you?
So what?
Katsutoshi!
I'm a stranger you moron, so what?
- Hey. - Calm down.
Say something!
I didn't mean to say that you are a peasant.
He's my little brother.
You should knock some sense into your moron of a kid brother, you bastard.
Calm down. Calm down!
Takeo, he has just arrived in the city.
See. Take this money, please.
Don't be a stupid fuck.
Shut the fuck up!
Forgive him please. Sony.
I forgive you for now.
I don't know where you came from, but
remember this, you can't go around antagonizing us.
Excellent.
Come on, you bastard!
- Come back. - Calm down.
What are you doing?
I'm tenibly sony.
Come here!
Come on!
What're you doing!
What!
Don't fight just for the hell of it.
I can't handle cheap shots from a punk kid.
You'd better try!
Why did you come to Tokyo?
Don't you want to live an honest life?
Act like this and you'll never achieve a nonnal life.
Katsutoshi,
I am indebted to you and owe you a great deal.
So now it is my tum to help you achieve your goals.
To live a happy life here.
Pero, tienes que considerar mi posicién,
and how difficult it is for outsiders like us to survive here.
Do you understand?
I was beaten up,
almost died, but I finally opened the club.
Want me to lose it?
We're not what we used to be.
We cannot rely on sheer strength any longer.
I'm going back to my club.
I am an outsider, so what.
So what if I am a small town outsider, you fuck!
Behave, you bastard.
Go to hell, you punk!
Die!
I used to want to be a broadcaster.
- Really? - Think I'd be any good?
Don't I look like one?
What are you talking about? Please tell me from the start.
- Can't be bothered. - Why? Tell me!
- Because! - You have to gargle.
- I don't have to. - I want to be a broadcaster.
Really! Are you sure! Amazing!
- But... - A broadcaster sounds cool.
I believe they have to be qualified. Did you know that?
- A college graduate? - Said so in a magazine...
So you can't be one?
No I can't. Do you know about foreign companies?
- Foreign companies? - Overseas isn't it?
If I could get into a foreign company I'd be thrilled.
You'd quit this job. Please don't!
Let's pretend to be interviewing.
- Good idea! - Sounds cool, let's do it.
Please introduce yourself in English.
In English?!
What's your favorite color?
Le... Led... Re... Re.
- Red! - You have to sound your R's.
What's your name?
My name is Nikaidé.

Why Nikaidé?
Nikaidé sounds posh.
You're joking!
Why are you laughing?

What's your favorite food?

Oh my... wait a minute.
Wait a minute!

Money...

I will be waiting
for you in an hour at West Side Park.
Okay?
- It's impossible. - All the women broadcasters actually do.
Where's Takahiro?
I don't know.
Shit. He'll have to be fired.
Fucking brat!
Did you see his face.
His face was...
I hope he gets run over on the way.
I don't like him.
- Really. - I hate him.
You don't like him.
You like him?
Where's Seikichi?
He left some time ago.
What're you looking at?
Won't you come home soon.
Takahiro, welcome home!

You bastard!
Wait! Asshole!!
Wait!! Shithead!!
Ouch!

Takahiro?
What happened, Takahiro?
Talk to hell Stop it!
Eriko.
Please sit there.
Eriko. I hear that Takahiro has a favor to ask you.
Quick!
Eriko.
I know you are doing a hair treatment?
- Hair treatment? - Hair?
Why not?
I'm doing a clay pack.
It's not a mud pack.
Mud is everywhere, so you can use that.
- No I... stop it. - Cut your hair
- I... I'm doing... listen, listen. - She said stop it!
My pack is not just any mud.
- What, what. - Expensive mud?
What sort of mud?
It's from a Parisian spa.
Smelly.
- Stinks. - Smelly, smelly?
Understand.
Perfume smell?
Men love it.
Creepy!
She always says that.
Men love feminine women.
You're too serious.
- You've got a wrinkle here. - Stop it.
Don't touch me. I always wony about it.
Just one more thing.
You try too hard to be a woman.
So what!
You're not popular because you always try to be ladylike.
I'm popular with men.
Hello. This is the Tokyo Playboy Club.
Oh, Seikichi.
Long time, no speak.
Hello?
Where is that stupid Katsutoshi, the bastard?
He is out at the moment.
Call him up, asshole.
Is he nearby?
Matsu, I am tenibly sony.
I didn't know he was so stupid.
Please accept my apology.
You don't have to apologize to me.
Matsu, I am so angry with him, from the bottom of my heart.
I'd give him a good beating also.
But... Inna
I owe him from my younger days.
He helped me when I was a hoodlum in the countryside.
So...
please do not be too hard on him, for my sake.
Since when did you become so arrogant, uh?
Listen, Seikichi,
we didn't come to beat up that stupid asshole.
I have known you a very long time.
We are not bad men who go round half killing
my friend's buddy, you know?
But...
still your fellow did hurt my henchmen.
So...
I need some sort of moderate settlement.
I understand you want to apologize.
- Wait a minute. - Keep your mouth shut!
Understood.
I will be in room 702 at the New China Love Hotel.
Get the girl to bring the money.
Don't be late.
Okay, let's go.
You idiot!
Hello.
You Idiot!
What the hell are you doing?
What mess are you in after all that drinking?
It's not enough to half kill that bullshit kid.
Don't try to have it all your own way.
I'm not a hoodlum like you.
I make an honest living.
I couldn't live here if every impertinent punk
annoyed me, you asshole.
What a coward you are.
That's why you're only fit to run this crappy nightclub.
Who's the asshole here?
You're the one crying for help in this shitty club.
I didn't come begging you, moron!
I have to appear to be a coward to live here. I'm not proud.
Pride doesn't feed me.
I'm... not some idiot who can sell pride.
You're all talk.
Look at you.
You are wearing a bow tie. You're shameful.
Excuse me.
What?
Nothing.
Room 702 in this hotel.
Hello.
Which way?
Maybe this way, but...
This way.
Matsu?
What the hell is going on?
Hey, Matsu.
Hey, Matsu!
He's dead!
Hey, why is Matsu dead?
Eriko! Why is he dead?
Fuck! Why is he dead?
What have you done?
What the fuck have you done?
Matsu?
See he's dead!
Why does it always happen to me?
I'm fated. Damn it!
Eriko...
what really happened here?
What're you going to do about this?
This is it.
It's huge.
Can you?
I don't know.
Why's he dead?
I heard he liked to use electricity in S&M.
Looks like a heart attack.
What away to go.
Ever tried anything like that?
Noway.
Are you okay?
We have no choice.
My god... what a life.
Is she alright?
She's been like that all the time.
I must show you something.
His drivel's license.
What? That's him?
He looks cool.
He looks better in this.
Let's get it done!
Just a minute.
You don't need this anymore.
Hey, what the hell do you look like?
What?
That apron.
Beggars can't be choosers.
What's so funny?
Polka dots.
Polka dots on a naked man.
Don't laugh.
- Finished? - Yep.
Give me a cigarette.
Quickly!
It's heavy.
Oops, it's caught.
Do you have something like a stick?
A stick?
- Quick, quick. - I've my golf club.
Okay, it's all right.
Ah, but it's very important to me.
- Forget it. - Come on.
Hold on.
- Hold on... hold on. - Go quickly.
Quickly, quickly and keep quiet.
Go.
Give it to me.
No blood on me?
Hey, I wonder if it would have been better to bury it.
Where?
Well... somewhere... in the ground.
What if someone had seen us burying it?
I know, but I wonder if it was a safe place to dispose of it.
You cannot rule out somebody witnessing us throwing it.
Plus...
the chances of it being discovered in a car are greater
so, you'd better throw it away.
Quieter voice!
Eriko.
This is an absolute secret.
Whatever happens you have to keep it a secret.
Promise?
Yes.
If you ever do anything stupid,
it will be Takahiro who is in trouble.
I must go to the toilet.
What do you think about her?
What about?
Can she still work at the club?
Will you let her?
Of course.
I have to get my money back.
You just calm down.
She's in a panic.
That's not right.
She's caused me lots of trouble.
I'll force her to work.
When she is wom out I'll sell her.
I will then be done with her.
It's getting worse.
I'll walk back.
So you take her home.
What the hell...
Damn, who the hell is it?
You! What's up?
My brother hasn't come back.
Really?
Do you know anything?
No. I don't know anything.
It's only been 24 hours...
he's probably holed up drinking.
He's very faithful despite appearances.
Always rings without fail if he's not coming back.
On right.
I didn't get a call yesterday, and I can't reach him today.
Never happened before.
He might have lost his mobile whilst drunk.
My brother is not as stupid as you.
That's true. I can imagine.
You're sure you gave him the money and a woman.
Of course.
Where is the woman from yesterday?
Well... she is at home now.
Did she say anything?
Nothing.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Call me if you hear anything.
Of course.
I'm sure he'll be back soon.
Brother.
Where's that from?
Bastard!
Wait. Not me!
I don't care
Okay, okay, I understand.
Calm down!
Move away, Umezo.
W... W... Wait, please!
Takeo, wait!
Hey... please... wait!
Eriko!
This is enough.
- Hello. - Hi, Katsutoshi.
What are you doing?
Just a minute.
Are you okay?
Oh, sorry I was having dinner.
How's Eriko?
I guess she's at home.
Right.
Sony, but can you bring her to the club right now?
Something happened?
No, nothing special.
Are you sure?
You know her number?
Of course.
Sony, it's urgent.
Okay, I'll be there soon.
Bill please.
You look so cold.
Been outside all this time.
What were you doing?
I've left home.
Why?
Takahiro was having an affair.
Right.
If you don't really care for an idiot like Takahiro,
you can run away.
I don't care what's happened.
I'm alright.
I don't have anywhere to go.
Right.
Can I ask a question?
What?
Why are you working in Seikichi's club?
I've nowhere to go either.
I don't even have a home to go back to.
Were you bom here?
No, I wasn't.
Why did you come to Tokyo?
I didn't want to stay at home.
It didn't matter where in particular.
Have you ever thought that life can be restarted?
I haven't.
I think my life would have been better than this
if I went to school earnestly and studied hard.
How old are you?
Twenty-one.
You're still young.
Is it really so?
I hope it is so.
She's the woman?
She'S Pretty...
Seikichi, what's going on?
Do you remember me, man?
You peed yourself that night.
You're funny.
Sit down.
Hey, giﬂ.
Where did you get this bling bling?
Do you recognize it?
Say something.
Girl, this bling bling belongs to our big brother.
He is missing.
You were with him last night, weren't you?
So tell me where he is.
Is this bitch dumb?
Seikichi, make her talk.
Eriko, please answer him.
Seikichi!
Shut your mouth!
Eriko!
- Hey! - Wait, wait. Please wait.
I really don't know anything.
She had the necklace.
Hey man, you're not lying are you?
No, I'm not. It's the truth.
It's true!
Katsutoshi, it's true isn't it?
We're not involved in this?
Katsutoshi, we don't know anything do we?
Katsutoshi.
Your brother...
your brother...
I killed him.
Ka... Katsutoshi.
What are you talking about?
Don't play games.
It's bad luck to talk like that, asshole.
It's true.
I'm not lying.
Katsutoshi!!
- Bastard! Give me a fucking break.
I chopped his body up and dumped it in a river.
It's no joke, you fucking asshole.
Takeo, wait please.
Katsutoshi, what are you saying?
Takeo, he is a crack addict.
He may have had the tattoo's, but he was no tough guy.
He was a fucking moron.
Katsutoshi, shut your mouth!
Takeo, trust me I don't lie.
I swear I'm not lying.
That's enough, already!
Oi, Umezo!
Umezo put that away!
It's dangerous! Please put it away!
Please Umezo!
Takeo, please tell Umezo to put it away!
Please put it away Umezo. I understand the problem.
Hey Takeo forgive him!
Please, please I understand!
Please, please Takeo.
Put it away!
Takeo, please. Hey!
Shut the fuck up, you bastard!!
U mezo
Take careful aim with your gun and fire.
