Hold on, Shun! My chain came off.
That's what you get for riding that piece of junk.
Fix it while I do a lap.
Geez, I'm no good at fixing anything but people!
Shun, what happened?
Hold on, Shun!
Inagaki... Inagaki...
That Inagaki, he...
You shouldn't talk. Don't talk.
I'll get an ambulance here right away!
Shun! Hold on, Shun!
Another job?
"Challenger shot and killed?" What?!
"Challenger Shunichi Ogino, who had made a miraculous comeback, dies!
The new challenger will be third-ranked Inagaki from the same weight class."
No way! When I placed a bet on Ogino, I never anticipated him getting killed!
What's going to happen to my thousand bucks?
What? It goes automatically on the new challenger Inagaki?
Look, let me change my bet to the champion, okay?
No, hold on!
See, I warned you not to get involved with this illicit betting on boxing.
Can it! Stuff other than work is none of your concern!
Okay, so let's talk about work then. It's connected to the Ogino shooting.
Ready?
Here!
Isn't this the park where Ogino was killed?
Right.
What does the murder have to do with my next job?
Well, you see, your client for this job is...
Hey, Ryo, where did you go?
Got it!
Here!
Awesome, mokkori hips!
Here!
Are you okay, Mister?
Yes, fine. Some smash you've got.
Hi, sorry there. These days, even watching tennis can be hazardous.
You mean, in your case, right?
Wow, she's some lady.
Just listen.
Megumi Iwasaki, twenty-seven, doctor.
A doctor? Nice!
By any chance is she...
Right. She's the girlfriend of that Shunichi Ogino you were betting on.
You remember no one thought Ogino would make a comeback after that hit-and-run?
Well, she's the one who treated him and helped him through his rehabilitation.
There she is!
Okay!
You'll have to rest for another two or three days, got it?
Yes. Bye-bye!
Bye-bye!
Next, please!
Okay, here I am!
What a cute tooshie!
How can I help you?
Well, it's a little embarrassing.
Being sick is nothing to be ashamed of. Go ahead and tell me.
Well, Doctor, it seems that I can't stop my hand from doing whatever
it likes!
Doctor, isn't there a less painful treatment?
The best treatment for you is shock therapy!
No time. There's not much time left.
Just don't drink too much, Doctor.
You!
My face still hasn't returned to normal. See?
Just who are you? I'll scream!
This face is in need of rehabilitation. Just like your boyfriend Ogino was.
"XYZ", your sweeper from the shadows.
You mean you are...
Ryo Saeba, the man you hired.
I apologize for frightening you.
It's my policy to know a client well before taking a job.
You'll catch a cold, Doctor!
So, you're saying the culprit is the challenger Inagaki?
Yes.
How do you know that?
Shun said so before he died.
It was Inagaki. I saw him.
He received many threatening calls before he was killed.
Threatening calls?
He was told to quit boxing or else "this time" he'd be killed.
"This time?" So that hit-and-run was also...
You have no idea how hard it was for Shun to make a comeback.
Getting this title was his dream.
Inagaki is a rabid dog driven mad by envy.
I can't forgive him. There's just no way.
So, that's why you want me to kill him?
I know how you must feel about the murder of your boyfriend,
but you'd better leave it to the police.
You'll be breaking the law.
It's not something a gentle doctor like yourself should be doing.
I'm running out of time!
It looks like there's something you need to tell me.
It's none of your concern. Just leave me alone.
Doctor, drinking so much isn't good for you.
It looks like the pain isn't only in her heart.
Come in.
Yo! A man washing dishes first thing in the morning?
Good deal, huh?
By the way, your little sister is never around when I come.
Introduce her to me sometime, will you?
Do you think there's any brother in this whole wide world
who would put his sister in close proximity to your poison fangs?
You're not hiding her from me, are you?
She just left. You didn't run into her out front?
Who knows?
What are you doing?
I bet when your sister is out you do stuff like this all the time, right?
You little pervert!
Why did you come here anyway?
Tell me everything about this client.
Megumi Iwasaki, you mean?
She has cancer, doesn't she?
That's correct.
Insurance Policy? What's this?
She gave it to me as compensation.
In other words, her life is our closing fee.
So, that's how it is?
That's how it is.
That's why I told you to hear me out before you began anything.
"I'm running out of time."
Ryo is clearly specified as "beneficiary" in the policy.
She wanted closure before she died, that's why she asked us.
In exchange for the value of her own life...
Can I hold on to this?
Yeah, sure. It's not as if we need it for anything right now anyway.
You could refuse, you know.
Nope, we don't refuse beautiful ladies.
That's our policy.
Not "ours". You mean yours, right?
Yeah, maybe. Well, I'm going to get down to work.
Hold it a second, Ryo.
Yo, Champion, I'm rooting for you in the match!
Man, running on cold nights like this over and over again!
This is the fifth day since I started following the champion.
He should pop up any time now.
Don't you move, Mr. Champion.
What is this?!
I got a favor to ask.
All I want ya to do is go down in the third round.
You're telling me to throw the fight?
Easy, isn't it?
I can't do that!
Oh, really? You got a daughter, right?
My daughter?
You got it. Don't you care what happens to her?
You're smarter than Ogino, ain't ya?
Ogino was your...
Right. Ogino was one dumb cookie.
He forgot about the accident I arranged for him
and tried to make some kinda stupid comeback.
I mean it. What you gonna do, Champ?
I bet your daughter is as cute as a button. Am I wrong?
I got it.
You get it, huh?
Just you sleep tight while I make myself scarce.
Insane. You are insane.
Mr. Saeba!
I've almost finished my preparations for the job.
So you're taking...
However, there's something I want you to do first.
Me?
Yes.
If it's within my power.
It's something only you can do. Close your eyes.
My eyes?
Just as I suspected!
Doctor, rehabilitate me!
Doctor, give me some gentle treatment.
Why don't you drop dead?!
Mr. Saeba!
He's gone!
That's strange. I'm sure he fell.
This is...
I don't believe it. Does he really expect me to attend this match?
I really thought I was a goner.
Japan's junior middle-weight title match.
This is nothing like what we expected!
Inagaki has been punishing Mita since the start of Round One!
Look at that! Inagaki's right connects beautifully!
The champion shows no spark at all!
The champion remains trapped against the ropes!
The champion can't do anything!
Will we witness the emergence of a new champion here in Round Two?
Now he's trapped in the corner!
It's just a matter of time till he goes down?
A.50 caliber nitro-express bullet.
Fired from a range of one hundred meters,
it has sufficient force to move a two-ton object one foot.
And, Inagaki,
I used pure gold to prepare this hollow-point round especially for you.
The champion barely managed to avoid that one.
A right! Then a left! From Inagaki!
Oh, the champion is saved by the bell! End of Round Two!
Mr. Champion...
Don't make it look so obvious. Try to get in a punch or two, will ya?
If you go to the mat like this,
they'll think the fight's been rigged or something.
Round Three! I promise to knock the champ to the mat in Round Three!
Unbelievable! Promising a KO! Inagaki vows to deliver a KO to the Champ!
C'mon, Champ! I'm gonna let you do a little punching first!
Okay, start of this big, big Round Three!
The champion goes on the offensive!
Inagaki's got his gloves up guarding himself well!
Can Inagaki make good his promise?!
Take it easy, Champ.
Your punches got a lotta kick left even when I stop'em.
Remember your daughter, right?
What's this?! Inagaki's back on the attack!
I'm going to put it right in your ear.
The pure gold slug won't exit your skull but will remain inside.
Okay, Champ. Gonna let ya get a few more punches in!
C'mon! Throw some punches!
Inagaki, no glory awaits you. Merely a miserable death.
I will not kill you while you remain in that sacred ring.
A fitting place for you to die is...
C'mon! C'mon!
One, two, three
Four, five, six
Seven, eight, nine
Ten!
He did it! The champion, Mita, wins by KO!
But what a miserable ending for Inagaki!
That he would vow to deliver a KO,
only to get a ten count himself outside the ring, is awful indeed!
You made a choice to pay my fee with your life.
And that's what I'm going to get.
As long as you live,
I want you to think of me as your boyfriend.
Mr. Saeba...
Consider this a request from your boyfriend.
A doctor shouldn't be easing her pain with liquor.
As a physician, get some real treatment from other physicians
and show your smiling face to the children waiting in the hospital.
Mr. Saeba!
What's this?
Beautiful women are disappearing one after another? What a waste!
They say Makimura's sister has disappeared too.
But Makimura's sister can't be very...
It's true I'm doing this job for my partner's sake and all,
but I can't seem to put my heart into it.
Then there's this weirdo hanging around everywhere I go.
I thought it was a guy, but she's actually got one mokkori bust!
Oh yeah! This is one sensation you can't beat!
Things are looking up!
