It's gone!
Cleopatra's Smile is gone!
"Cleopatra's Smile stolen from real estate tycoon Daizo Kinugawa."
Wow! If I'm not mistaken,
Cleopatra's Smile is worth one and a half billion yen.
I sort of envy that burglar.
Doesn't interest me.
To me the smile of a living, breathing vision
is a thousand times better.
You Peeping Tom!
You got it all wrong. Take a close look at her tush.
Haven't you learned your lesson?! Have you no shame?!
Listen!
You must be Kaori, right?
I'm Aya Misaki. Pleased to meet you.
What?
Take a look at that hotel two kilometers from here.
Sorry if I surprised you.
See, I have a job for you.
Do you see it? The XYZ code?
What in the world?
I hope you enjoyed that bathing suit.
Not many are familiar with my elevated tastes.
I'm very impressed.
I've done my research.
After all, you're the man I've chosen for my partner.
Partner?!
Yes, I'd like you to join me. Do you object?
You've studied me, haven't you?
Yes, quite thoroughly.
You already know my answer then.
You know that I won't refuse a vision like you.
I'm honored.
There's one more thing.
There's this alpha plus aspect to my compensation
when it comes to beautiful ladies.
Of course...
Complete the job successfully, then we can discuss that option.
My, how business like.
Ryo, you can't accept the job without knowing what it is!
Please! Jobs are to be approved by you first, correct, Kaori?
Yes, that's right. It's my decision.
Well, we have a deal, it appears.
Darn, I was outmaneuvered.
Okay, what do I do?
Nothing really, just a little burglary is all.
Is that all? No problem!
What was that?
Burglary?
This jewelry store is our target.
The owner, Machida.
Here's the security system.
Appears ordinary enough. No problem for me.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
Blueprints for the safe.
Wow, you plan to break into that safe?
The steel door is eight inches thick.
What's more, it is equipped with a lock system
featuring integrated circuit technology.
Breaking into such a sophisticated IC equipped safe isn't Ryo's game.
What I require of Saeba
is the singular power he possesses which I lack.
Singular power?
I get it. You need my destructive capabilities.
With my brain, and Saeba's power, nothing can stop us.
That's right.
The job is as good as done.
So, how about an advance on that compensation?
Here you go! A little advance on some mokkori hammer treatment!
Wow, I'm impressed! Just like a gun shop.
I wouldn't go that far.
Kaori, prepare the rocket launcher.
Ryo, are you really going to use it?
Kaori, you know about weapons too, don't you?
You're Saeba's partner after all. I'm impressed!
You are?
Lazy as Ryo is, he just leaves everything for me to take care of.
For a pro of your stature to entrust your weapons to the hands of another
shows a lot of faith.
See, she's my friend's sister.
She's sort of like my faithful servant.
Who are you calling your faithful servant? Is that all I am to you?
No, come on Kaori.
What I was saying was that you are my trusted partner.
This is it.
Aya, are you sure you should be going in there?
Yes, I'm sure they won't be reporting anything to the police.
Something going on?
Yes...
Saeba, you've already figured it out, haven't you?
Well, I have an idea.
I don't get it at all.
Kaori, you stay with the car, but be prepared for a quick getaway.
You don't have some ulterior motive for leaving me behind, do you?
I'm impressed, Kaori.
When it comes to a pro,
being able to make that getaway is critically important.
That is so true! Ryo is always leaving the tough jobs for me.
My, she is so good. I could learn something here.
That's the owner's office.
He doesn't suspect a thing.
Right, not a thing.
Let's go, Saeba.
What are you doing, Saeba?
I can feel your anger in your heel.
Who are you?!
Sorry, just burglars who happened to be in the neighborhood.
You...
What do you know?
I didn't know jewelers went around packing these days.
Okay, if it's money you want, fine.
Not interested in money.
Instead, why not show us to that safe in the basement?
Safe in the basement?!
What do you mean? It's just the boiler room.
Really? If you don't want to show us, I understand.
How do I work this?
Just pull the pin.
Oh, I see.
Where did you get that thing?!
Don't!
Oh, you're still alive. Shall I do another?
Okay, okay! I got it! I'll take you, just don't do it again!
Hear that, Saeba? He says he'll take us.
Really? Fortunate for us he's such a reasonable person.
That's one tough looking safe all right.
This door works on a time-lock system.
Hate to disappoint you, but it won't open until noon, day after tomorrow.
How do you like that?
Are you planning to wait here till then?
If you please...
Yes, Ma'am.
Okay, big guy, stay there and you'll get blown up too.
Wait! You can't do it!
Did you see something weird go flying by?
I'm sure it was a cockroach or something.
Blasting the door like that just isn't fair.
After you...
Thank you.
I've found it.
That's the diamond?!
Yes, stolen from collector Daizo Kinugawa, Cleopatra's Smile.
How did it get there?
The store is a front. Actually, it's a burglary operation, right?
That's correct.
Virtually all of the items sold there are stolen goods.
But how do they keep from being found out?
That's easy. Change a diamond's cut, and it's unrecognizable.
That was too close.
Cleopatra was one step away from being turned into Empress Yan.
Okay, seeing as how the job is finished,
it's time to fulfill that little promise!
Hey, Ryo!
I guess you spoke too soon.
No! Not with these luscious thighs right in front of me.
You skunk! You're going to regret interfering with my mokkori reward!
What are you doing?! Can't you get closer?!
Boss, how am I supposed to drive?
I can't see in front!
Bastard, I'll get you for this!
Just what are you referring to?
No! It can't be!
I must be having a nightmare!
Here's to partnership.
Aren't you going to ask who I am?
We're in the same profession, right?
I've heard some rumors.
Rumors about a lady sweeper who works for insurance companies
recovering heavily insured items from the guys that stole them.
I'm impressed.
Mr. Kinugawa had a theft policy
which insured Cleopatra's Smile for two billion yen.
There were only three days left until the payment deadline.
However, in case of recovery,
liability for payment would no longer exist.
Well, how about working with me in the future?
I think we make an excellent combination.
That depends on my mokkori compensation this evening.
The very avatar of love all right, as my research indicated.
My love is tantamount to a certification of your beauty.
Could you come in thirty minutes?
I'll take a shower and be waiting.
I don't want to smell like gunpowder on this special night.
Tonight we are man and woman.
Hey, what about this?
Just keep it a while, and hold it tight as you would me.
This is no more than a sad substitute for you.
Thank you.
The journey has been long, however...
The time for love is at hand!
Excuse me, how go matters in the Persian Gulf these days?
Ryo Saeba, the rumors of your prowess are true.
My body tingles with the danger.
But my investigation makes clear your vulnerability to Kaori.
Manage Kaori effectively,
and I can do my job without fear of Ryo's mokkori advances.
What an evil woman I am!
Is that Kaori already?
I wonder what Aya could want?
She said she wanted to talk to me about Ryo.
Is Ryo working his vile ways on Aya?
I won't have it!
Ryo!
What's going on?
That's it!
Thirty minutes! Tonight is the night for MOKKORI!
Aya, here I come!
Ryo is here!
Are you gone?
The lights are off.
Oh, I know! You're waiting in the bedroom.
Aya!
What are you doing here?
It's awful! Aya's been kidnapped!
What? Kidnapped?
I came by just as two guys were getting ready to take her away.
But what were you doing here?
Aya asked me to come here.
Aya invited you?
What are you doing here, Ryo?
Aya asked me to come too, so...
You came jumping into bed?
Right, right.
Come on Kaori, what are you trying to make me say here?
The phone! Coming!
You're with Aya Misaki, right?
I think we need to deal.
You haven't hurt her, have you?
Not yet at least.
Okay, I agree to your terms. You can't make love to a diamond.
Excellent, business transactions should always go so smoothly.
Come to the D. K. Building currently under construction in District B.
Two AM.
Okay.
They want the diamond for Aya. Is it that burglary operation?
No.
Look, Ryo, what the heck's going on here?
The owner of the D. K. Building is Daizo Kinugawa.
You mean the same Daizo Kinugawa who owns Cleopatra's Smile?
He's a man surrounded by dark rumors.
I am sure he found out somewhere that we had the diamond.
Then he got greedy.
Decided he wants both the insurance money and the diamond.
Kaori, I'll need your help too.
What are you going to do?
He's trying to put the squeeze on a pro,
and he's going to pay the price.
Glad you made it!
Take the stairwell to your left, and come to the second floor!
You did bring the diamond?
Yes, it's right here.
Judging by this big building you're putting up,
I'd say the real estate development business is doing well.
Right, Kinugawa?
You figured it out, did you?
Saeba...
Since you know who I am, doesn't make any sense to hide.
When you chose this building for our transaction,
you knew it'd be a dead giveaway, didn't you?
That's correct.
You two aren't going to be leaving here alive anyway.
I get it.
A building under construction is the perfect place to get rid of us.
Do you have any last words?
I'm sorry, Saeba. It's my fault.
What? I'm satisfied, if it's with you.
By the way, Kinugawa old pal, is this building insured?
I make it a point to never buy insurance except for my collection.
I see. That's too bad.
Don't they say, expect the best, but be prepared for the worst?
This is the pillar Ryo was talking about.
It is most regrettable, but the time for the end has come.
What's that? What's this shaking?!
What's happened?! What is it?
We're going!
Wait!
It's coming down!
Someone help! Help us! We're trapped! Someone!
Insurance has its place after all.
In this world, you never know what's going to happen next.
Why did the building collapse?
No mystery.
Destroy one crucial support pillar, and the whole thing will come down.
But who could have...
Hello there!
Kaori, that was you?
That's one impressive pile of rubble.
I learned from the best, didn't I?
What a team they make.
They trust their lives in each other's hands.
Looks like there's no room for me here.
A lady sweeper who travels all over the world. You're something else.
But I'm going to avoid dangerous assignments from now on.
So it looks like I won't need you as a partner, Saeba.
Man, and I was looking forward to it.
Too bad, but feel free to call on me as your mokkori partner anytime.
I would have given you my permission to team up with Aya.
The last thing I need is an additional partner.
I already have one tough partner named Kaori.
Just listen to you...
Big news! A private eye has set up shop next door.
R - N... That's Reika Nogami! Saeko's sister!
That's why she's so tricky.
She gets it from Saeko all right.
For sure! Operates just like her sister.
But Reika's bust is bigger.
That's enough!
If you're not careful, she'll have you under her thumb!
You're too late!
Don't miss it!
