How do you like her? Face, body... all-in-all a fine acquisition.
Okay.
I've searched everywhere I can possibly think of.
You're my last hope, Ryo!
Stop yelling like that. I just got up. I've got low blood pressure, you know.
Your best friend's little sister has run away.
WHAT KIND OF ATTITUDE IS THAT?
"Multiple Disappearances of Beautiful Women?"
No witnesses to repeated abductions in Shinjuku?
In this month alone a total of nineteen victims?
All of them babes! What a tragedy!
What if... What if my Kaori is the twentieth victim?
Ryo, I'm begging you to look into these disappearances!
Please find Kaori!
Is that a formal request?
All right then.
I'll give you all my savings as compensation.
Kaori hasn't been home for two days.
Please hurry and find her.
Slow down. I've never even seen Kaori's face before.
So, you'll do it? You are my best friend after all.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa!
All photos of Kaori. Please take any you like.
What do you think? Looks like me, and she's beautiful, right?
And this is what he calls cute?
Not the type you'd expect to get kidnapped at all.
As for me, I'd beg her to run away.
There are dozens of girls more beautiful around.
But if it's your own sister, it's a different story, I guess.
Whoa! Some mokkori legs!
Am I dreaming?
Ouch!
Scrooges!
Do me one, Tetsu.
At your service.
What the hell? Sports shoes?
It ain't nice to mess with an old man!
I hear you got pretty good eyes and ears for an old man.
Right, "Mr. Information"?
Where did you hear that?
You know those disappearances everyone's talking about, right?
What's the word on the streets?
You some kind o' rookie? You ain't got no idea how to talk to a pro.
Oh, really? I ain't got no money...
But a chunk of lead oughta do it.
Try Club Maihime in the second block.
Wow! Your mokkori tush is even nicer than Marilyn Monroe's!
I love it! Marry me!
You pervert!
What? A mokkori bust?
Hold on!
Another piece of Shinjuku history bites the dust.
I don't go around hugging guys, old man.
Don't you have anything kinder to say to an
old man about to kick the bucket?
You're not shot anywhere, Tetsu.
It was a model gun. The smell of the powder is completely different.
That weren't no pro, huh?
And what did you tell "him"?
Asked about those disappearing beauties.
When you're talkin' about the black market in humans,
you're talkin' about Club Maihime.
You can't beat this wonderful tingling that's still in my fingers!
I'm feeling motivated now. "He's" a woman.
Welcome everyone! Thank you for waiting! The trade show begins now!
Music, start!
Today's first entrant used to be the star at Joker's: Here's Emma!
We can't allow it, Sir! Strictly members only!
This is my membership card!
Nobody move!
Where have you hidden those girls you kidnapped?
What are ya' talking about? This here is a legal trade show.
Forget it, the gig is up.
I want the one responsible for the disappearances!
Come on and show yourself!
Looky, you must be makin' some mistake.
Shut up! If you don't tell me, I'll open up a hole in your guts!
Go ahead and make one for me!
If that ain't no toy, that is!
You don't want to live?
A .44 magnum, stainless steel model is very hard to find in Japan.
Unless you look in a toy store!
Stop laughing!
Go ahead and shoot, will ya?
Well?
Please, God.
Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!
We got nothin' to do with it! We don't know nothin'!
I got two shots left!
I could make two lines outta ya' and put a bullet through everyone!
I'm tellin' the truth!
I ain't heard nothing about where they got those women!
You sure?
Help.
All right then.
The first two of you that comes after me
is gonna get gift-wrapped magnum slugs!
Hold it right there.
You've got some balls, don't you?
But you better quit with the fake gun act. I almost had to cover my eyes!
Looks like I owe ya one.
Just hold it!
Not that I expect anything for the favor,
but I could stand for a whisky on-the-rocks.
Sorry, I don't feel like getting drunk.
I really want to drink tonight. Drink! Drink!
Please! From one man who's fallen for another!
You're not gonna let me go, are ya?
Some invitations you ought to accept.
Sometimes you get information you didn't expect.
Information?
Okay! Go! Let's go! Information?
Okay! Go! Let's go!
Boss, we've got two suspicious hounds on the prowl.
Let them go.
But...
They don't have a prayer. But...
They don't have a prayer.
What's underground is hidden from their view.
The birth of yet another beautiful mannequin.
Don't touch me!
What's the big deal? We're both men here.
Or is it that you feel something when I touch you?
That's ridiculous!
Your body's more shapely than it looks at first glance.
What happened to that information?
You've got some chest on you!
I'm goin' home.
What an impatient type!
Hi.
See? Here's the person we were waiting for.
That was tasty!
Okay, what do you know?
Be patient. One more drink.
A homeless guy who hangs around
the east subway entrance said he saw something.
A lady went into a boutique and never came back out.
Is there a backdoor?
Only one way in or out.
Consider that information bought!
One night with this fellow will do for my fee!
It's a done deal!
No way! It's a done deal!
No way!
Lily, the name of the place?
Orphe! Lily, the name of the place?
Orphe!
Boutique Orphe, huh?
Wow! Nice! So handsome!
Are you completely blind or something?
I was only complimenting you!
Do you still...
I'm a woman!
You're lying! You don't like me? I'm a woman!
You're lying! You don't like me?
Be gentle with me! No, don't go!
Help!
C'mon! Hold it! Don't be so angry!
You knew all along, and you were just feeling me up the whole time, right?
I said I was sorry!
To make up for it, let me buy you some nice feminine clothing.
Okay? Okay?
You think I'm going to fall for that?
How would Boutique Orphe strike you?
Does the idea of going to Orphe frighten you?
In truth, yes.
I like honesty in a lady.
But I've got to find that pushy friend of mine.
You have such slender legs, it'll look good on you. Much nicer than on me.
She said she'd get me a mini-skirt.
She was all excited, saying she'd give me one for my birthday.
But after all that, she just disappeared.
It might just be that she went to Boutique Orphe for you.
Leave it to me. I'll see to it that you get to
take off the mini-skirt your friend chose.
I mean put it on!
Me, I'm looking for my friend's little sister.
She's a real dog though.
A dog, huh?
That's it.
You're safe. I'm with you.
I trust you. At least for now.
Well, pretty nice shop.
Nothing really suspicious.
Welcome. Looking for something for your girlfriend, perhaps?
Girl?! Girlfriend?!
Are your eyes some kind of ornamental glass beads or something?
Can't you tell the difference between a man and a woman?
No way.
What was that? No way.
What was that?
Oh, nothing at all. Really!
What do you think? Would you like to try it on?
Are you sure?
Certainly. Are you sure?
Certainly.
Please, take your time.
Truth is, I'm counting on you, Ryo.
A welcome party? What a shame.
They're going to make me miss the strip-show I was so looking forward to.
You can imagine my surprise.
One of those hounds turned out to be a woman.
We're short one mannequin for the Hong Kong shipment, right?
But it would be unfortunate if she were returned.
One novel item might be interesting.
As you wish.
Hope I'm not late.
Welcome to the Land of Shadows.
Now then...
One more down.
It's so easy.
I see now.
This is the secret behind there being
no witnesses to your kidnapping operation.
Son-of-a...
Hello! Can you hear me?
Hey! How are you?
I wonder if she's lost consciousness?
Geronimo!
Whoa! Pitch dark!
I should have brought a flashlight.
Mannequins?!
Certainly. However these are living mannequins Mannequins?!
Certainly. However these are living mannequins
injected with a muscle stiffener.
And you've used the bodies of those kidnapped beauties?
Suits your tastes, I bet.
Where are you?!
My, a Colt Python.
Somehow I get the impression you aren't an ordinary hound.
From where I am, I can see you just fine.
Night-vision, eh?
It's a shame, seeing as how we are men of similar interests.
When the curtain falls on this act, you'll be dead.
Man, and tragedies aren't my style!
One...
Two...
Bullets with metal jackets put on quite a show of sparks.
Have you learned something new here?
With such a brief flash...
You are a pro, aren't you?
Help! C'mon, Ryo! Hurry up and save me!
How long do I have to stay with these goons?
How does she know my name?
Hey, what's with that aim? Your night-vision isn't happy!
You little piece of...
That hurts! What do you think you're doing, you asshole! You little piece of...
That hurts! What do you think you're doing, you asshole!
Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!
Quiet down, you bitch! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!
Quiet down, you bitch!
In this darkness, all I've got to rely on is sound.
Well, just won't do.
It would be too bad for her if I got a scratch on those beautiful legs.
Keep going!
This is...
A subway operations repair platform. This is...
A subway operations repair platform.
I thought this might be the shipping point for the mannequins.
I finally get to see you.
Ryo!
You! Ryo!
You!
But you're the one who'd better drop his gun!
How about this? And your precious Colt Python is useless, isn't it?
Ryo!
Okay, I think you better drop it now.
Damn!
Give it up. Two or three of your fingers are broken.
You won't be able to pull the trigger anyway.
They were some kind of new syndicate.
They made the girls look like mannequins
and sent them down the Hong Kong route.
Thank you. Thanks to you, my friend was saved,
Mr. City Hunter, Ryo Saeba.
You knew about Tetsu the informer and saw through my cover.
Just who are you?
Stop looking at me with that deadly serious expression, will you?
I'm Kaori Makimura.
Kaori Makimura?
I just know I've heard that name somewhere.
Right, I'm your best friend's sister.
But this photo...
That's a photo of my brother's girlfriend from college.
Makimura's girlfriend?!
He's got some kind of taste.
But to think that... I mean...
Well, that you are Makimura's...
I bet you're going to say you mistook me for his brother.
That's not nice. Besides, I couldn't say that the way you look.
You should have told me something important like that much, much sooner!
This was one tough case.
Making me bring her clothes like this.
Well, it's not going to be any mannequin that I fool with.
Nice to meet you.
It's Kaori's birthday, but Makimura has taken off somewhere alone.
My next job is going to be a rough one.
Anyone who would ask Makimura to
meet at the Silky Club isn't on the level.
C'mon, Makimura! How can you let the birthday cake get soaked with tears?
All right, Hell may be a lonely place for a little while,
but I'll liven it up for you soon enough!
