Departing from Osaka.
Are you new to horse gambling?
I'm just doing it for a little fun.
That's okay. Betting based on information from the newspapers is quite reliable.
How much you want to bet'?
I don't know yet.
I'm thinking of betting 1000 Yen.
Are you thinking of earning some money?
If that's your intention, let me tell you something.
I'm not a stranger or anything.
My name is Hashigishi and I own a laundry shop.
Is it Take'? Yes.
But it's not a very big shop.
I gamble quite a bit so I have a lot of information.
Special information.
Once in a while, I would secretly bet as well.
I've some good information today.
The favourite, Saburo,
its condition today is not that great.
The second favourites are number 3 and 5.
These a long-distance runners.
You bought it, right'?
Yes.
Just now you talked to a strange man.
Did you buy according to what he told you?
Then you have been cheated, he was a conman.
What were you saying?
You didn't know he was a conman'?
He approached you and told you what to bet on.
If you win, he will ask for consultation fees from you.
It's a common fraud scheme.
But I did won just now.
This kind of thing, I could even do it myself.
Let's say there are 10 horses running on the track.
10 horses will have 10 different riders.
Somebody will definitely make a winning bet.
And then he only needs to approach that person.
I see.
He will be watching at the money counter.
When you collect your winnings, he will come greet you.
I really did won the bet so I have no choice.
You're really stupid.
If a person is so kind-hearted, the enemy will take advantage of you.
Intentionally leaking insider information to you, that's a crime.
If something goes wrong, people from the company will appear.
If your identity is revealed, you're in deep trouble.
Don't worry, I'll buy your ticket.
After that, go home.
I can't do that.
Why? I'll pay you 10% of the earnings as a fee.
Actually today my boss told me
not to bet on horses.
That's why sometimes I only bet a little,
after that I need to head back.
How much does your boss bet on horses?
I'm not too sure.
I do believe that the amount is quite big.
About 42,000 Yen.
When was the ticket bought?
Yesterday, the eighth round.
How much was the bet for that ticket?
About 10,000 Yen.
Then the amount won should be 423,000 Yen.
So much money was won'? It's the betting odds.
If you bet 1000 Yen, how much you would have earned'?
42,000 Yen, that's 42 times the initial bet.
Is that so'?
So much money?
This is bad.
Hello?
Okay, I understand.
I'll be there right away.
We'll meet afterwards.
What's the problem? My boss is back at the company now.
This is bad.
Understood. No problem, I'll buy it too.
You'll receive a small fee. That's your boss's ticket so you have no choice.
I'll buy your ticket as well.
But do you have so much money?
What are you saying? If you're on the race track betting on horses,
you need this much money.
That's right, it's a new guy.
It's 420,000 Yen.
I gave him 42,000 Yen and he happily left.
We'll talk later.
After exchanging for the money, I'll head back.
Okay.
This ticket cannot be read, please remove your ticket.
What is he doing?
Take.
Take, how did I do just now?
Quite good, right'?
I don't think so. You're quite strict, Take.
You called me quite a little too late.
Your concentration is lacking.
That so'? I did help out, it was okay.
Not good enough. That phone call
was made to confuse the enemy's strategy.
Thanks to you, he thought of something else.
I did extra work.
Is that so? But just now was a three streak win!
We did a great job!
It was okay, Take. Let me go!
Take, was that good enough?
It's quite hard to understand.
Just be natural.
And by the way, since last time,
it was always there.
Two bowls of ramen.
Please enjoy the food!
You're treating me with your own money.
If I let you treat me, I'm finished.
You have enough money for this month's living expenses?
7000 Yen is enough for me.
Let's earn as much as possible.
Okay.
Shopkeeper, please give us two bowls of dumplings.
Tetsu, why are you doing this?
Is it regarding the veterinarian's name?
Take, do you know this?
It's a word riddle.
Yahiro.
Yes, please read it.
Hagiwashi...
I can't understand it at all.
You really have no patience!
Then I'll read it.
I'll start now.
I am a...
conman.
Idiot.
If you have time for this, go practice writing a speech.
And what's your name?
Iruka Tetsumi. Fine, lru.
Iruka. That's a troublesome name.
Is that a hole or something?
What are you talking about?
It's a name given by ancestors for feeling grateful.
Boss. Yes?
Did the detective came after that time?
That detective'? He never came after that.
What's going on'? A detective'?
It seems like there's a person asking things about me.
Is he a detective'?
He did said he was a detective.
Well he is quite tall.
But still not easy to tell.
Is there a fire'? The place is close.
Hey!
That's my house.
Yes.
Let's get out of here.
Why do we have to run'?
We'll discuss later, let's run quickly.
Following you around, every day is an exciting day!
Did you see it'?
I already told you I don't want it.
Why do you think somebody set fire to your house?
I'm just guessing.
I did hear that you were being chased by someone last time.
It's already been 8 years.
I owe somebody money last time.
A colleague of the company was the guarantor.
He ran away.
And thus I have to pay up.
It was a debt in the secret accounts.
I was chased by them.
The debt even increased.
You got cheated?
Now that I think about it, I was an idiot.
But I'm just a normal salaryman in society.
And then, they came to the company to collect the debt.
I was fired from the company.
After that, the debt collectors said something strange to me.
At the place where you work
like this,
choices are limited.
Tomorrow's a Sunday but father still needs to work.
Is that so'?
Sorry but you would have to look after the house tomorrow.
Understood.
It's ginger. I like to eat ginger.
Welcome.
They want money.
Contracts at the office,
and opening accounts at the bank.
I was asked to do many things.
And then I owe a lot of money.
This time, a wicked man named Higuchi appeared.
You want to get out of it quickly?
Yes.
I will give you some jobs.
If you do well, you would be able to pay back the money.
Do you know Watano'?
I don't know who is that.
That person has lost the ability to pay back his debt.
Forcing him to pay won't work anymore.
But people like that would have some living expenses money left.
Go get that money.
And finally I was outside the house.
People from the organization couldn't do it.
The worst job of all.
Asking me to coerce someone who is as weak as me.
But as for me,
I'm the hardworking type.
I'm sorry.
It's impossible for me.
I can't do it anymore.
Please let me go.
That woman is the typical woman we know.
But woman are typically strong.
I went many times and she never gave up.
Yes, she did that to her hand.
That's what happened.
She's very young, what a pity.
The floor was full of blood.
How about the children?
The elder sister is not back yet.
As for the younger sister,
it seems that she witnessed everything.
She then ran to Sasaki's house.
That's terrible.
It has something to do with the money debts.
There were many strangers that came recently.
It's scary!
Are you listening?
I had said it before.
We shouldn't have any problems.
We only used prepaid mobile phones to call, they won't find us here.
You cannot be scared because of this incident.
We would be okay.
But Watano is useless now.
If you don't have the guts, you can't do this kind of work.
Are you going back?
I will call you later.
Understood.
The enemy is scary.
Actually the police can apprehend them.
Just give them the documents and that's it.
Take, something bad happened?
Now that I think about it, it's quite hard to believe.
But in the end,
I was probably too naive.
I understand, leave it to me. It's okay.
What are you doing?
Take, something even worst happened?
Yes.
But you will realise something.
What is it'?
I'm the same.
Just like you, I thought I could do anything.
I did think of committing suicide.
Is that so'?
But I'm not brave enough to kill myself.
And so I let go of everything and ran away.
Even my own name.
When I finally realise the truth, this is what I became.
Why did you become a conman?
That is to conceal my identity as I cannot do normal jobs.
Looking at it, I do have a good job.
In a way, it's an honest job.
But I am still an idiot.
I did the job quite seriously and it became like this.
What should I do now?
In the end, I have nothing.
Is that so...
If that's the case, Take,
Higuchi is the one that caused the fire today?
Higuchi did it.
Maybe it has nothing to do with me.
I'm just taking a precaution.
However, Take, what are we going to do tomorrow'?
We'll have to find a new place.
We can't sleep in this place forever.
We'll find it together.
But we cannot stay in this area, right'?
How about the outskirts?
Where? Ayase in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The riverside is very relaxing.
That place is good?
As long as it is away from Tokyo.
We can also get closer to the upper class.
Let's go tomorrow.
What's wrong?
Sounds like an excursion, I feel happy.
Idiot.
Hey!
What are you doing?
I'm taking a rest.
Why are you resting'? It's only midday!
You were sleeping here all this time?
No, I did look around just now.
And then? Did you find a good place?
Yes and that's why I decided to rest a little here.
Is that so'? Please do tell me about it.
Thank you for waiting.
Thank you.
Thank you for waiting.
Take, that is a 6 months old magazine.
I know.
This world really has people who does big things.
What is it'? Take a look at this.
A construction company was cheated of 30 million Yen.
I would also like to do something big like this.
I see.
Tetsu, what's "Con"?
I think those are stories about conman.
Those stories are usually called "Con Game".
That's going to end tomorrow.
Thanks for waiting.
Is that your friend?
My friend is going to act in that show.
Working in a small acting group is hard work.
If you have the time, please attend the event.
What's it with conman stories'?
The stories are interesting.
A beautiful girl appears and then there's the fraud scheme.
Forcing the girl to do something. That's an easy thing to do.
No, it's not.
Let's go take a look.
We have no time to see other people committing fraud.
Is that so'?
You're only doing it now?
You should have done it way before this.
What are you talking about? What if there's a mistake?
It's done.
I'll be going now.
And this will lead to a new life'? That's right.
You're only doing it now?
Even for shampoos, you are buying it now.
What are you talking about?
We are buying daily consumables.
It should be at the end on the right.
Look at this.
Is that good?
The rent for this type of house for 90,000 Yen, it's really cheap.
We should have lived here a longtime ago.
That's right but a single house like this is rare.
Perhaps you're right.
Even so, we used quite a bit of money.
You're right.
We would need to gather some small tools.
Can we go tomorrow'?
Okay.
Welcome.
It will be 1380 Yen.
This is good!
How was it'? Not too bad.
This is it.
There are some words written at the bottom.
What should we do?
Idiot!
It hurts!
How was it'? I think it can be done.
It should be possible.
Can we do it in 30 minutes or so'?
What is with this one?
I'm not too sure about that one.
I see.
Is that container for sale'?
Container? This one?
Is it for sale'?
No, this is not for sale.
This container is said to be from a famous place.
Is that so'?
There was someone who came by just now.
Well it was used for a first time meeting, I rejected it at first.
But I want to buy it and sell it quickly.
I wanted to take a closer look later and thus I accepted it.
That container, is there some words written at the bottom?
There are some handwritten words at the bottom.
Can I have a look at it'?
At a place like this.
The words are "Musai".
This container...
How about 50,000 Yen for it'?
This thing for 50,000 Yen, can you sell it to me'?
I have a nephew.
He's quite a popular person.
At that time, this is definitely the real thing.
Is that so'?
50,000 Yen, is that enough?
Well I haven't buy it completely yet.
When you buy it afterwards, please contact me.
I am going to attend a association conference.
I'll write down my mobile phone number.
Just nice.
Even so, it took quite a while, I was worried.
From 10,000 Yen to 15,000 Yen, it must be hard work.
But in the end pricing it for 50,000 Yen.
That uncle was pretty good.
Even so,
that idea was pretty good, the words were quite real.
It has some meaning to it as well.
"Musai".
What's the meaning of it'?
Read it backwards.
And it becomes why are you doing this?
Cheap goods.
I see, that was quite playful.
Take, look there.
Our valuation, the building is worth 90 million Yen, 90 million Yen.
I think that price is quite good. Let's do another one.
Follow me and go have a look.
Take.
Wait a while and why are you dressed like this?
He came out.
Only the cheap ones are left.
I think so.
Today's the day.
No problem, I need to go somewhere now.
I'll see you later. He's very rich.
Yes, he's very rich.
Sorry, I'll wipe it for you.
What?
Sorry, it's okay, it will disappear afterwards.
This. I'm sorry.
She did it. She did it, very interesting.
You didn't notice it'? She stole his wallet.
Oh no, it's wet.
It's alright, no problem.
I'm sorry.
Keep your eyes open.
I'm very sorry.
It hurts!
Look in front when you're walking.
I'm sorry.
So what now? Let's save her! I'll leave this to you!
It's okay.
Are you okay?
Take!
How's your knee?
Take, what's wrong?
I thought she looked like my daughter.
You're right, your daughter is of the same age.
Let's me look at that knee.
Hey!
I'm not trying to take advantage of you.
That's the usual way of doing it.
Are you doing it alone?
Yes.
Are you doing your business just now?
You're still young and a professional right'?
What are you talking about?
Theft.
You should have a partner.
So what are you trying to say'?
What a cute little crow.
Crow? A black crow.
The opposite of a professional, a black crow.
Why did you choose that man?
Nothing special.
I was just looking around.
So what's with it with you two uncles?
Thanks for waiting.
Thank you.
So what's your name?
It's not a cute name.
Your given name?
Mahiro.
Mahiro?
It's quite a rare name, what are you planning to do?
My father passed away and my mother committed suicide.
That happened a longtime ago.
Then Mahiro... Mahiro.
Mahiro, do you have anyone to take care of you?
That type of feeling.
I don't understand, what?
A nickname.
But I would be chased out.
Chased out'? Why?
I was owing the rent and I was given an ultimatum.
Nothing I can do now.
How much do you owe'?
Around 20,000 Yen.
I want to help you but unfortunately we are not rich people.
It's okay. Treating me to a cup of fruit juice already makes me happy.
Yes, of course I am treating this time.
I have finished drinking, thank you.
Come to my house.
If you're chased out of the house and have nowhere else to go,
come to my house.
Tetsu, write down the address here.
Okay.
What's this for'?
Pay me back later.
What if uncle lied to me just now?
Or even worst, you're trying cheat me'?
Idiot.
We cook our "rice" here.
This, don't let anybody see it.
This is the address.
Both of you are weird uncles.
Mahiro.
Yes, Mahiro.
What's this?
Why are you here?
You told me to come here.
Yes but... You did tell me to come here.
Before I forget.
I have no use for this.
I want to know, who are these two people?
I'll introduce them to you.
This is my elder sister, Yahiro.
And this is my sister's boyfriend, lshiya.
Ishiya is not my profession, it's my name.
My name is Kantaro.
This is not a joke.
Wait a minute.
Mahiro, you have a elder sister'?
Did I not mention it before?
What's the story with your elder sister?
Actually both of us depend on each other.
When I was chased out of my apartment,
my elder sister was chased out as well.
That's why she has nowhere else to go too.
So you all plan on staying here?
How did you come in here?
My elder sister realised something.
I was putting the money in and the key was there.
And then we just came in.
How did that happened?
She is that type of person.
She doesn't know what she is doing.
Yes. And then she opened the refrigerator,
drank coconut juice, for the first time.
I see your elder sister really doesn't know.
Yes.
But then why is the boyfriend here?
I am Yahiro's bodyguard.
Yahiro living together with two other man.
Thus certain things cannot happen,
that is why I am here...
Wait, are you planning on staying here as well?
Yes. What?
Why? She won't need a bodyguard.
We won't do anything weird.
Are you two homosexual?
No.
Anyways, you better leave.
See what you're wearing right now.
I'm not leaving.
Think about it, I'm helping you.
Let them stay in your apartment.
I don't have an apartment.
My boss left and so goes my job,
and I'm chased out of my apartment as well.
Please let me stay here with them.
What kind of bodyguard is this?
You're more like a leech.
Take, what are we suppose to do?
With so many people, it's hard to get in.
Even worst, with such a person here.
If Kantaro is not at my side,
I would feel uncomfortable.
Well I think it should be fine.
Poor people should help each other.
What are you talking about, Take'? This cannot happen!
These people really are too much!
But you're in the same situation a longtime ago.
What? Is that so'?
It's a man.
Please stop! I'm sorry.
Hey, why are the luggages on the floor'?
Aren't you two suppose to be upstairs?
But Mahiro has the room on the second floor.
The room next to it has luggages too.
Idiot, there's only one room on the first floor.
You two should be in the same room with Mahiro.
Aren't Take and Tetsu sleep in the same room'?
I told you we are not homosexual.
A leech like you shouldn't talk so much!
I'm sorry.
What's that weird looking box?
This box is used to store important items.
Take, I've got news!
It seems that she is a cooking genius!
I'm not a cooking genius!
She participated in some cooking competition.
As such, she can cook anything.
It's not that I can cook anything, more like I have to learn to cook.
The food prepared by Mahiro is very delicious!
You bought so many ingredients, why?
If we buy more now, we don't need to buy later.
You're right.
What's this?
Tetsu wanted to eat tomato pasta.
I already said I never made that before.
Take likes it as well.
I'm won't discuss with you about that.
Actually I like fried meat cakes!
Wait for the food to be prepared. Wait a little while.
It's not too bad.
Kantaro, you're drinking milk while eating?
Is it weird?
The food is very delicious!
Yahiro, you can't cook?
I don't.
Elder sister won't do anything. That include housework and even buying things.
Not long ago, I even have to buy items that she use herself.
I can't buy the items.
I'm not as good as you.
The items cannot be stolen.
If you're caught then it would be a problem.
It's the same as buying.
There are some differences.
Yahiro and Mahiro, please eat your food.
Okay.
Can we keep this?
You found it.
What's the problem? Do you want to drink this?
Let's drink! Let's drink!
Thank you.
I bought this for elder sister to drink.
Thank you. Kantaro'?
Yes?
Are you currently looking for a job'?
Yes but times have changed.
It's quite hard to find a job.
Why'? The jobs involving hard labour have not changed.
But society wants more people who are good with numbers.
What do you do for a living?
I repair watches.
What?
I learned the skill from a master.
What is repairing watches?
Repairing watches.
The watch gear is so small.
And when the watch needle is fixed, you feel happy.
Using a variety of tools,
slowly putting it back together...
That precious box of your,
what precious things did you put in it'?
No precious things.
No precious things in it'?
Then what is inside that box?
That is a secret.
The box is quite big, I think you have a suspicious job.
Kantaro is a totally different person.
With a body like this,
he is still bullied by other people.
I didn't know that. People said I'm not good looking.
I was always bullied.
In class, people would make holes on my pants.
Because of that, I'm still afraid until today.
I can't participate in any fireworks competition.
Now that I think about it, getting chased out of the apartment is a good thing.
If I'm attacked by perverts, I can't rely on you.
Perverts?
The person was wandering around the apartment.
He kept staring at our room.
It's quite scary. Yes, quite scary.
He's quite big too.
Hey, how does the person look like?
His face?
I'm not too sure about his face, but when I look over, he would immediately turn away.
When you all came here, did he follow you here?
I don't think so.
It's scary and you will be recognised.
Is that so'?
Maybe he's a...
stalker?
No way! Sister is the one being resented.
Impossible that I am the one being resented.
It must be you!
It's thanks to Mahiro that we have a place to stay now.
Hey, this is our place.
It's not closed.
What's wrong?
I won. I lost.
I won.
One more time.
What's wrong?
What's that?
How cute!
A small cat. Is it a wild cat'?
It came into the house, where is it'?
I was trying to catch it.
You hear that'? I heard it!
It's cute! What should we do now?
Hey, let's raise the cat here.
No way! Food expenses would be needed for the cat.
Put the cat outside! Cat food is not expensive.
Don't you know? It's very expensive!
So we really cannot raise the cat here?
Cat food is cheap.
This is a strange wild cat.
Why don't we call the cat Tousaka'? That name is quite good.
Tousaka!
It really became Tousaka.
Tousaka. I won't take care of the cat.
Take.
It's so quiet, they all went out'?
They just went out.
Take, I discovered something good.
Just now, Yahiro and Mahiro
were talking and I took a peep.
And then I saw this.
Are you peeping on people now?
I have no choice.
They were arguing whether to throw away the money or not.
There's so much money here, I don't think they earned it.
Those two must be hiding something.
If we are dragged into this, it would be a problem.
What's that?
Rurie.
I'm sorry that I have always lied to you.
I wanted to find a job.
But to raise all of you, I have no choice.
If your resolve doesn't change, then I have no choice.
I have already placed my seal on the divorce papers
and sent it to the district government office.
Have you found it'?
This is the father's will.
It looks like it.
Maybe the father
left the family and ran away.
What is it'?
It's nothing.
I'm back.
Why is the cat so restless? Is it because of this?
Calm down. What's this? You're back already?
Tetsu, hold on to this.
What's this?
A "Geisha" gave it to us. We don't want it and thus you can have it.
Okay.
This bell collar on the cat's neck is very cute.
No problem at all, it's very cute.
It suits the cat very well.
That is Take's money?
You're voice is too loud.
What happened?
Before this I mentioned about collecting a debt and the woman killed herself.
The woman's children are those two sisters.
After that happened,
the two sisters lived together.
I was thinking of making amends.
After that every month, I would send them some money.
In the end the money,
I have no idea where it went.
Now that I think about it, there's nothing wrong with it.
That is money from their mother's enemy.
Is that so'?
That's why Mahiro came to the house.
When I saw here face, lam already thinking it was her.
When I hear the name, I was shocked.
That would definitely shock you.
And thus I want to apologise to you.
You would be making amends together with me.
They participated as well.
No matter what kind of father,
the days would have to go on.
Okay, Take, please show me your hand.
Why? Hurry!
I used to hear about this story.
When I was little, your thumb and index finger.
Okay, thumb...
Little finger. Yes.
The thumb would cross with the other fingers.
This is easy. If so...
Please use your index finger to do the same thing.
What's this?
This is hard, right'?
Why?
Then let's try this.
It has to be like this.
The two cannot cross each other.
There are now 5 persons living in this house.
Mahiro, Yahiro, Kantaro, Take and me.
Why are you the thumb?
Is it weird? You mean I'm the index finger, that's disgusting.
Is that so'?
If you become a mother, it would be disgusting as well.
Is that so'?
It's full of alcohol smell.
Sorry, Tetsu and me drank quite a bit.
It's better for you two to drink milk.
It's good for relieving hangovers.
You two drinking that is good too.
That is "homosexual" milk.
Disgusting.
Kantaro, that's fun.
It's really fun!
Mahiro, hurry up.
Wait a bit, it will be quite busy later.
I want to leave this place.
I'm sorry for bothering both of you, Take and Tetsu.
No, there's nothing wrong with you.
If you leave, what about me and Kantaro'?
That's right and nobody is going to cook.
Let's find another place and the three of us will live happily together.
Where are we going to go?
I don't know yet.
You don't need to go so fast, think about it a little first.
What is it'?
There's a suspicious car outside.
I found them.
Who is that?
I wonder who is that as well?
Hey!
You two don't play ping-pong here.
I'm sorry! Kantaro, you're so bad at this!
I'll do it again.
That's too much!
Idiot!
Is there something bright outside there?
Tetsu, get some water over here!
Hurry!
Take, run!
The fire is getting bigger!
Take! Get some bigger containers!
It's so small! Take!
Why even the milk?
This is not working.
Take, you're here?
A fire can be very scary.
So who did you offend'?
A longtime ago,
I was tricked by a loan shark.
I went through some tough times.
That time I was very angry.
I stole some money and handed it to the police.
And so that organisation was dismantled.
That is the reason they hated me.
The time when the organisation was dismantled,
when was that?
About 8 years ago.
If that the case, maybe,
they are the ones who killed our mother.
Is that so'?
Not long after mother died,
the police came,
and the people from the organisation were all caught.
They also wanted to reinvestigate the case.
If that is the truth...
Take, Yahiro and Mahiro
would have a grudge against the same organisation?
Maybe.
Which means Take took out the organisation?
That's great!
Took out'?
That's the reason why I'm suffering until now.
So Take, what are we going to do now?
What can we do? We can only run away.
It's very dangerous for us to continue staying here.
It will give everyone a lot of trouble.
Tonight, pack your luggage.
Tomorrow before the sun rises, we would leave this place.
What are we going to do with Tousaka'?
Tousaka'?
Bring the cat away from here.
Where is Tousaka'?
I don't see the cat.
Tousaka!
Tousaka, where are you?
Just now during the fire.
That's right, the front door was open.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry that I woke you up.
You were here until now?
Yes.
If Tousaka comes back, he won't be able to enter the house.
I'm sorry that I dragged you into this problem.
It's nothing, actually you're the one who saved us.
Will Tousaka be okay?
The cat is stronger than humans, it should be fine.
Everyone will separate again.
We were like a family.
What's that?
You wait here.
Tousaka!
They must feel very happy.
The fire just now was the same as last time.
The fire was started without us realizing it.
Take.
What should we do now?
We can only run away.
We still have tolerate it'?
We were tolerating until now and we still have to continue to do so'?
Mahiro, I don't want to take it anymore as well.
I want to live a happy live.
If such a thing happen again,
I won't have the will to live on anymore.
For mother, who struggled to live on,
she was tricked by them and was so desperate that
until the end, she lost hope and died.
However, we can only tolerate this.
Look at me.
Don't keep thinking of revenge.
The chances of running away would disappear.
However Take,
Higuchi would be coming out of prison soon.
If happens, they would use their loan shark business to enlarge their organisation.
If this goes on, our living place would be found out sooner or later.
Then what should we do?
Take, please use this.
It's finally time to unseal this box.
Hey you, that's a pistol...
Long time ago, the gangster boss who used to take care of me, gave me this.
I have never used it before.
Let me try it now.
What are you doing? Wait a minute.
Stop it! Don't do it!
What was that?
What happened?
The gun really looked like a real gun!
Idiot, even if it looked real, it's still a fake gun.
Why do you say that?
Isn't using a fake gun in line with what you do?
It is better than using violence.
For this, the opponent is the professional.
However, when it comes to deceiving people, we are the professionals.
Idiot!
That's it, Take! We can utilise our professional skills!
All they want is money and we only need to take it from them.
They don't recognise us.
We would definitely win!
If that's the case, what should we do?
Hello, the situation okay there?
Yes, I don't see anything unusual yet.
What? Your voice sounds shaky, are you nervous?
Probably.
You are a coward, there's nothing to worry about.
They won't do anything reckless.
Don't think all gangsters are fierce, it's not like that.
Their only advantage is that they look scary so that they can scare people.
They only look scary from the outside.
The real gangsters are all like that,
so don't worry about it.
Hello?
What is it, Kantaro'?
It seems that we are wrong, they are coming for us.
Slower, please stop here.
Here, 5500 Yen.
I won't take money from the police.
It's no problem, we can apply for reimbursement.
Thank you for your help.
You two played too much, go back now!
The hotel is pretty nice!
This place is great, you must have used a lot of money.
It's no problem, the money here can be used freely.
It's the enemy's money anyways.
Okay, let's start discussing our plans.
We can finally start the Albatross Battle.
What are you talking about?
Albatross.
It means an idiot.
In other words, it is to deceive an idiot's money.
This mobile phone can be used to access the main page?
The access software is already installed.
How about the other stuff'?
It's all in here.
Hope you can help me with this.
Which type do you want'?
Whichever is better.
If you use this, the signal would be better.
Is that so? The progress over here is smooth as well.
They have already contacted the office.
They have already been contacted? That's good.
Before I forget, have you print the stuff'? Not yet, Kantaro would be doing that.
No need to do so. When I'm finished here, I will do it.
Tell me the place.
Yes, that's the place you need to go.
Yes, please do so.
The wireless signal only works within 50 metres.
After that, use this one'?
That's right, this mobile phone can listen to other people's conversation.
Not only that, but it can even listen to the people around it.
Take, take a look at this.
The sound can be adjusted using the volume control here.
What is this?
It's only a normal radio.
I really didn't know that. Kantaro, you're quite good at this.
I'm really good at these kind of things.
Here.
It went smooth.
It was all distributed?
Yes, it's better to distribute all of it.
The result would be better this way.
It's alright. They don't have the people, and won't want that kind of mobile phones.
The next thing is to wait for the enemy's call.
That mobile phone was bought for this, right'?
Yes, we just bought it.
Hello? Hello? Are you a mobile phone seller?
Yes, do you want to buy some mobile phones?
I took a look at it, is it really selling for 2500 Yen?
Yes, we're having a huge discount.
I see. How many do you have now?
I'm sorry, please wait a little while.
Thanks for the wait. There's only 9 left.
9 left'? If that's the case, I'll buy all of it.
All 9 of it'?
Thank you.
Why must I come with you? It's alright, not enough exercise that's all.
And we are attracting attention.
This is very troublesome.
And you don't make so much noise.
What?
Is it really that tiring?
You two can't even beat a woman.
Idiot.
We have just started.
Is the progress smooth?
There wasn't any problems.
It's all in here.
Put it all inside.
There won't be any problems if we get the key.
Do you want to eat'?
Okay.
Getting up here already made me feel hungry.
Kantaro, come here and eat.
I heard some sound.
What's this?
This is probably the sound of someone moving things.
Hello! Express delivery!
Hello, your mobile phones are here.
Let me take a look.
Okay.
Let me take a look.
Mahiro, record that.
It's not bad.
Please adjust the volume.
Boss, there are no problems with these mobile phones.
Okay, take it and use it.
Hey, the new mobile phones are here.
Anyone who wants to use it, take it.
Okay.
Okay, it's going to start now.
Everyone listen to it.
And then gather information together.
Okay.
I think that's an important information.
It's the same.
Are there any activities?
Someone went out to take money.
Nothing useful.
What is it'?
Thank you for the hard work.
I'm sorry. It's okay.
I can't reveal myself for now.
I'll leave everything to you.
Understood.
What's wrong?
All of them went out, right'?
Yes, I want to switch it off.
How's this one?
Okay.
Understood.
Have you collected the money?
Unfortunately, no progress yet.
Your thinking is too naive.
We depend on the interest of the money for our livelihood!
I can't tolerate this anymore!
Do it properly, you idiot!
Yes, I understand.
Are you finished?
A little bit more.
Tokyo Metropolitan Finance Committee.
We have obtained their bank account number.
Please follow our instructions and freeze the above accounts.
However, due to our organisation's management system,
the data could disappear because of the way I operated it.
If possible, please delete this message as well.
Understood, I'll go right away.
What did Higuchi say'?
He said he wants to withdraw all the money out from the bank accounts.
Hey, all of you go and withdraw all the money from the bank accounts.
Understood.
Higuchi was very worried, if the bank accounts are frozen, it will be the end of it.
That's true, that situation cannot happen.
What to do with the money afterwards? Put it in the safe.
Understood. We got it!
This is really troublesome! But there's a safe.
What about the loans?
Higuchi said that he's going to meet someone he knows tomorrow.
I'm going to go as well. Higuchi will make an appearance tomorrow'?
Yes, that's right.
Time to take action?
Okay.
We have finished buying the things and we're going back now.
Understood.
We'll talk later.
We are going to take action tomorrow.
We're going back to the hotel for discussion.
Understood.
When are we going to tell Take about that matter?
When the battle is over.
Okay.
What was that sound?
Maybe it is...
gunshot'?
How can it be?
You don't understand, this place is Shinjuku.
Anything can happen.
Where's Kantaro'?
He's not here.
Where did he go?
He should be fine.
What is it'? Are you worried about something?
I'm just a little worried.
Kantaro, where did you go?
I'm sorry, I got lost while looking for the toilet.
I think they are gone.
Only a few of them left.
Okay, let's do it.
Today, the hard work will be on you.
I don't think he would recognise me.
No problem, Take, you took good care of me before this.
You all should just do what you've been told.
The other things leave it to me, there won't be any problems.
Okay.
Let's do this!
Sorry for disturbing.
This is what I do.
We discovered some unknown signal,
and found out that it originated from this apartment.
We are here to investigate.
It seems that this area has some issues.
What is going on'?
You'll understand when you listen to this.
Let him hear it.
Are these voices from your apartment?
If these are really voices from your apartment, please allow us to investigate.
We did investigate this area a while ago, but none of this ever happened.
Have you been eavesdropped recently?
Okay, I'll go check inside, please wait here for a while.
There is no need to worry.
We only need a bit of your time, just to ensure there are no listening devices.
If that's the case...
Okay, please come in.
Sorry for the interruption.
So what should we do?
Just be normal.
We will investigate without disturbing you.
Nomae.
What is it'?
It seems that this place has some listening devices listening to conversations.
Listening devices?
Hey, Koichi.
This way.
Okay.
Miss.
You're quite young.
Where did you learn how to do this?
This type of job requires special skills.
How did you learn it'?
I....
learned this after joining the company.
They even hire unemployed people for this type of job.
You still can do it even if you don't know anything about electronics?
For that...
I...
am the boss's daughter.
That's why I'm still learning on the job.
Okay, I see.
Hello?
How are you!
What's wrong?
Is this it'?
Hey, what's wrong?
When I'm finished, I'll go back.
It should be these 5 mobile phones.
I want to ask this, where did you bought these mobile phones?
I bought it from street sellers.
Hey, Kobayashi!
It's the mobile phones.
Okay.
I'll leave this to you.
Understood.
I found it.
This is it.
There's no mistake.
The other mobile phones also have it.
Hurry and take it off from the other mobile phones as well.
Mister, this type of listening device can only transmit within a short distance.
What do you mean? Does it mean we are being listened to close by?
No, that shouldn't be possible.
A repeater would be needed.
The repeater will listen to your conversations.
It could be near a rubbish site or a nearby vending machine.
Is there such a place?
Do you want to find the repeater?
I don't know about all this, you take care of it.
Understood.
Everyone, please proceed with your work.
What's the matter?
There's response here.
May I know what room is this?
Which room'?
It's an empty room.
Can we have a look?
I'll be coming in.
It's coming from this safe.
Hey.
Okay.
Besides there's something inside it,
I can't think of any other places.
Are you serious?
Do you have any other ideas?
There's only money in the safe.
It's impossible.
Can we open it and have a look? Open the safe'?
No way!
But if we don't open it, we can't find it. I don't know the passcode!
Only Higuchi knows the passcode.
That's right, even I don't know the passcode.
Higuchi is a very cautious man.
He's always been like this.
That's the truth.
If that's the case, why don't you ask Mr. Higuchi about it'?
Okay.
It looks like we have no choice.
It's better to contact him.
Okay.
Let's do that.
The number you are calling is unavailable. Is he still in a meeting?
Thanks for the hard work!
Boss, you're back.
This is really troublesome!
Who are these people?
I see.
I saw these type of people on TV.
Hey!
You, take off your cap.
Hey!
I'm talking to the person behind.
Okay, you all are the professionals.
Please take a look inside.
Hey, take out all the money. Okay.
You dropped this.
Thank you.
Hey, what are you doing? Bring in the bags. Okay.
Okay, now we would investigate the inside of the safe.
Hey, Kobayashi.
Okay.
I think it is this thing.
It was put on top of it.
Why would this thing be inside the safe'?
Hey! Okay.
Can we continue to investigate?
Maybe we can find some evidence on the criminal.
Evidence?
Hey!
You!
What are you doing?
Shut up!
All of you be quiet!
Kantaro!
The kid's expression is a little weird.
Hand over the all the money!
You can't do this!
Please run away!
What are you doing? Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!
The money! Hand over the money!
Hand over the money!
Kid!
That's not a real gun, right'?
That's a model gun!
Shut up!
That's not a toy gun?
Shut up!
The toy gun is this gun.
This is the real thing.
If you don't hand over the money, I'll kill all of you!
Give me the bag.
Hurry "P!
What are you doing?
Hand the money over to me!
Hurry "P!
Hey!
Don't move!
Hey! It's mine!
Let go of your hands! Give it to me!
It's not my fault!
She jumped down herself!
Hey, are you okay?
It hurts!
Are you okay?
This is not good!
I'll call an ambulance!
Are you okay?
Hey!
Are you okay?
Hey!
Grab the money and come back!
I don't want the money!
Someone is dead now!
Hey!
I called the ambulance!
The police would also be coming!
Let's move the her away!
Okay!
Be careful! Okay!
Hey!
It would be troublesome when the police comes.
Grab the money and come back now!
And Satou, don't just stand there!
It's alright, get back here right away!
Take.
Have a cup of tea.
Thank you.
Refreshing!
You can go take a bath.
No need.
You're still stained with my "blood", go take a shower.
Hurry!
I'm tired!
You didn't do anything, right'?
When Tetsu was carrying me, my arms hurt.
Mahiro and Kantaro, where are they'?
They will be back soon.
Call them afterwards.
Hey.
How's Kantaro'?
That kid is too daring.
What?
That kid took out the gun.
He was shaking while holding the gun?
You know already.
I knew it!
He is really the Kantaro that we know!
We already found out and knew he was going to do that.
If we didn't know about that, the whole thing would be finished.
Kantaro.
Kantaro!
I did great!
The feeling is great!
Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for the hard work? What you did is very dangerous!
What are you talking about?
The time when you're suppose to take out the gun is wrong!
What are you thinking at that time?
I also felt that it was a little weird.
Why would Take give the signal to take action at that time?
Take, I thought you gave the signal?
Forget about it.
No need to think about it now.
Cheers!
When you answered you were the boss's daughter, that was impressive!
I nearly laughed at that!
That's because Tetsu does look like my father.
And Kantaro, you're too nervous.
You were really scared!
That's not me getting nervous.
Then what is it'?
I was scared.
What?
I'm scared of guns and explosives type of stuff.
What do you mean?
When I was little, I was traumatized by loud noises.
After that, I'm really scared of loud noises.
The sound of lightning and those type of sounds.
I used to go the hospital for treatment.
This time it's really a challenge to me.
So that's the reason you became so.
Why didn't you mention it earlier?
We could have think of other ways of doing it.
I was thinking of using this opportunity to overcome this problem.
I'm trying really hard.
I even used to discuss this with my teacher but still it didn't work.
I have tried all sorts of ways to overcome it.
But when lam doing it on scene just now, I was scared.
And I'm alright now.
Thus Yahiro,
let's go watch a fireworks show next time.
Let's go together. You're really troublesome...
Kantaro is an unemployed person.
But he already gave it his best.
Thank you for your hard work!
That's good!
So what are we going to do with that bag of money?
Split it equally for 5 persons.
But you would need to take into account the money Yahiro and the others used before.
It's alright, the money is not that important.
We can't do that.
You've spent quite a bit of money.
The money for the hotel and the items bought,
and also the clothes too.
It's okay, with the money left, just split it equally.
Yahiro, we can't do that.
It's okay because even if we take that money, we won't use it.
That's why if we split it equally, then I won't need to worry.
Mahiro has the same idea, right?
Yes, you're right.
Then there would be no worries.
Are you sure'?
And also...
We three would like to continue doing this.
When we reach another place, we'll contact you.
I see.
Alright, wish you all the best of luck!
Take.
I was waiting for an opportunity to tell you this, I think it's time for me to leave.
I relied on you quite often.
My confidence is starting to come back.
I want to try working hard by myself.
What's this?
Suddenly I'm lonely and on my own.
It seems that tonight this would be a farewell party.
Yes, that's right.
Let's start the party.
Okay.
I wish everyone a happy future!
Cheers!
Where are you three going to go?
The Snow Kingdom.
The Snow Kingdom? It's a very cold place!
Kantaro, please work hard!
Why?
Carrying things around is your job.
That's right, it's Kantaro's job.
No that's not it, I am not that strong.
You can't do it'?
No way!
Actually you don't plan on going there from the start!
Goodbye.
Okay.
Please be careful.
Understood.
You too.
We will meet again at some other place.
Yes, that's right.
Goodbye.
Hey!
Take.
We won't go and borrow money anymore.
Take's feelings, we understand it well now.
Your girlfriend suddenly disappeared, right'?
Yes.
At that time, your girlfriend told many things.
I know many things about Kino Take.
It's time for me to go as well.
Okay.
Take, you have a place to go?
I'll walk towards the eastern direction.
I'll take the underground train.
Thank you for taking care of me.
Goodbye.
How are you?
We are now in Nagoya.
Kantaro found a job repairing watches here.
We also found jobs and have started working.
I opened a family restaurant and elder sister went into real estate.
We never used any of that money and we are currently working.
If there are any emergencies,
only then we would use that money.
Before I forget,
something did happen.
The apartment that we are living in right now, Tousaka suddenly appeared.
We were shocked by Tousaka's appearance.
It's a white cat and although the head doesn't look like Tousaka,
his personality is the same with Tousaka.
The cat must have been reborn.
The cat's neck also has a red neck strap.
Well...
This is really a big thing.
A big thing
Yes, that's right.
I called your number.
Understood.
Yes, thank you.
At that time, do you remember the first person who went to the bank?
Yes, I remember.
A middle-age man with small eyes.
When did that person start work?
No, that person didn't work.
That person, I think previously his job was identifying gems.
Gem identification and also bargain sale'?
Yes, that's right.
Your shop is upstairs?
Yes, that's right.
Hello! This is a "Tontontei" restaurant!
Shopkeeper!
Do you remember me'?
I am Kinjou Sasaki who used to live nearby.
How are you?
I haven't seen you recently.
I want to ask you something.
There was a lot of fireman that came near the shop before this, right'?
Yes, that's right.
Do you know the cause of the fire'?
You didn't know about that?
That was just a hoax.
I thought it was a fire but actually it was only smoke.
It feels like a fire but it's only smoke. After that, the occupant disappeared.
Tetsu .
Why?
I thought that the fire chased me away.
I have nowhere else to go.
And then I get to know Niita.
Mahiro invited me.
We are then living together.
But that's impossible.
It couldn't have happened without that.
Welcome!
Before this, there was a some kind of poster about a "Con Game".
Where did it go?
It's still here.
Can I take a look at it'?
Yes, of course.
Is it this one?
This is it.
Where is Tetsu'?
Regarding that...
The secret has been revealed.
Where is Tetsu'?
I don't know where is he now.
But the last time I saw him, he was in the hospital.
Hospital?
Before this, we received him money and he looked energetic.
He has a rich man look.
Not long after, he went and stayed in the hospital.
Irukawa'?
Yes.
There's no such person here.
Is that so'?
Iwakami Rutetsu.
Teruka...
I told you not to walk so fast. Sorry.
Are you okay?
Are you injured?
How's the hand?
What's your name?
It's not a cute name.
Your father gave you that name.
It seems like it.
Mitsuteru?
Kawai Mitsuteru?
What's this?
What are you talking about?
Did the people from the acting group told you I was here?
Yes.
I heard it from them.
Is that so'?
So the secret has been revealed.
Did you give money to the acting group?
Yes.
They were having a show at that time.
When you were coming into the room, you were scared.
You gave a lot of money to bribe them.
Where did you get the money from'?
Take, did you read the weekly magazine?
The fraud case from half a year ago.
That was your doing?
You are really the "crow."
That is just a stage name.
Take.
Let's go out.
Your health is having issues?
Actually I have cancer.
But surgery is no use anymore.
I have only 1 year left.
I only knew about it half a year ago.
16 years ago, I left my family.
I was discovered by my wife that I was conman.
After that, I was living all alone.
However, when it was known that I only have 1 year left,
suddenly I met with family members that I left behind.
No.
Even if we don't meet,
I can't stop worrying about them.
When I found out that my wife passed away,
I felt remorseful until now.
After that, I worried for my daughters.
I hired a private detective to investigate.
And then I met Take.
Is that private detective a tall person?
That person is a little weird.
He told my daughter that he was a private detective.
But in the end, it would be revealed as well.
That's why I understand you, Take.
The debt that you had before this,
and even what happened after that.
Actually,
all of it is my fault.
Because I'm a conman myself, all these happened.
My daughters are forced to live that sort of life.
Take, you're the same.
If the opportunity didn't come along, your life would suffer the same fate.
I saw too many persons like this, that's why I understand.
As such, I wanted to do something about it.
Because of that, we got to know each other?
Those 2 girls have already forgive you.
They found a new meaning to life, all thanks to you, Take.
It's quite smooth so far.
And then there's them.
The boss of the construction company.
Actually he was someone I hated.
He persuaded my wife to borrow money.
That person, because of you, became unemployed.
Now he is working hard to earn money.
That's why I did what I did.
And then there's Higuchi.
He wanted to make a comeback.
If he succeeds in doing so, he would find you.
In order to release you from Higuchi's grasp,
I would have to take care of Higuchi.
My daughters new meaning in life
is to meet up with Take.
And then to teach Higuchi a lesson.
The Albatross Battle is a battle which kills 3 birds with 1 stone.
And also...
I wanted to leave myself some good memories.
Everyone living together like a family.
Those are really good memories.
Take.
Being a conman is not an easy job.
In the end, you would die alone.
I discovered that too late.
Humans need to trust each other in order to live on.
A conman, who exploits this trust to earn money,
is the worst of them all.
But you,
didn't you regret it'?
Not at all.
I thought you spent a lot of money on this.
Not at all.
Actually I did something.
If that person is imprisoned, he should be able to get the money.
At that time, I only exchanged the money.
The money I gave to you, Take, is my own money.
How about Tousaka'?
Tousaka is still alive.
Yes, Tousaka is still alive.
The cat should be living with my daughters.
This is the acting group's final job.
The cat's head originally was black.
At first, I wanted to give back the cat to them.
But I was afraid the secret would be revealed, that's why I made the head white.
That's why it turned out like this.
What about the corpse?
That was made using potatoes and flour.
You are doing crazy things.
Today your daughters sent me a letter.
It looks like you did a perfect job.
Those 3 are living their life to the best.
Is that so'?
You don't want to meet them again?
Those kids are okay.
They won't do anything bad.
I wonder which kid let the balloon go'?
I wonder as well.
Anyways, we were played by a big crow.
Take, have you heard the story about the crow's thumb?
I've heard of it.
I can be considered the big thumb.
The big thumb that is leading everyone else.
I see.
You are really great!
Take.
Do you plan on staying in Tokyo?
I think it's about time for me to leave.
I want to go to Sendai.
That's my hometown.
Is that so'?
Sendai is not a bad place.
Let's go together! No, that sounds awful.
You said it was nice! I will recommend some good places for you.
No, I don't want to be together with you.
Is that so'?
No matter what happens, we will do our best to live our lives, please don't worry.
Someday, someday, we would meet again somewhere in Japan.
At that time, I will definitely invite Tetsu and Take to the family restaurant.
I will wait for this day to come, Mahiro.
