Who are you?!
Oh...
You there? Then you better get out right now!
The cops haven't given up after all. A detective is heading in your direction.
She's a lady! I hear she's some looker. And she's good with a gun to boot.
Now don't you go spilling your guts or nothing.
Hey, you listening?!
I'm not that good with a gun,
but the part about me being beautiful is true enough.
C'mon, Ryo!
Not done yet?!
C'mon already!
Let's see here.
"CEO Kidnapped: Ransom is Thirty Dollars! " What in the world?
"Bank of Japan Intervenes", "Nikkei Average", "Hostages Released",
"Ancient Babylon Exhibition", "Down Futons Reduced 50%"! That's cheap!
I can't hold it anymore!
Tomorrow will be partly cloudy, and "the lady can't hold it anymore?"
You want to sit with me?
I've had it! I'm breaking the door down!
Kaori, don't do anything violent!
Coming!
Is Ryo in?
Hey, just a minute!
I've come with a job. I'm a client. Understand, little boy?
Little boy?! Do I look like a boy to you?!
Wow! She's so beautiful!
But you're so full of spunk and cute too.
When you grow up, I'll spend some time with you.
Hello, there!
Ryo, I'd like to see how you handle a gun these days.
I'll be waiting at the target range.
Who was that? Real presumptuous type.
Saeko Nogami, the only lady I ever loved.
What?
I'll never forget what happened five years ago.
I loved with a passion hot enough to burn me.
Don't just throw me away, Ryo.
I love you.
In this crazy world we live in, there are still things I must do.
No matter how important love may be,
it's not a choice I can make at this time.
I could never forget that evening in Casablanca...
Oh, yeah! There's a coffee shop with that name in front of the station.
Saeko Nogami and the fragrance of roses...
It's the air freshener for the bathroom.
All appearances aside, she's a detective with the Metropolitan Police.
Detective?!
Man!
I've got to hand it to you, you've improved yet again, Saeko.
Not enough.
I'm not confident I can avoid hitting vital organs all the time yet.
Well, I'm up next.
What do you call this? This is awful. One hit and five misses.
Well done.
What? The distance is only ten meters.
Repeated one-hole shots. You're good all right.
One hole?! You mean all the shots went through this hole?!
It's just as I thought,
the only person who could possibly handle this job for me is you, Ryo.
Well yeah, that's nice, but your IOU's are piling up.
Besides, my schedule is really busy these days.
You've heard of the Cooperative Space Program being developed in the West?
The top-secret, 85,000 page plans have been stolen and brought to Japan.
It's the Republic of Uramania that wants them. They run a secret organization.
I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but aren't you a Metropolitan detective?
What are you doing mixed up with something of such a dubious nature?
It's a long story. Anyway, I'm in a tight spot.
The investigation has been closed, but I've decided to go it alone.
If I fail, I'll be fired for sure.
If you get fired, you can be my wife!
Come on, don't talk like that. Just help me, okay?
Anyway, the plans have already been stored on a microchip
and have been hidden in a certain location.
Here?
It was in the morning paper, right?
That crown was purchased two days ago by the Republic of Uramania.
So after the exhibit is over, it will be sent directly to Uramania?
Art objects passing through customs are rarely checked.
I'm almost certain the microchip is in the crown.
If you know that much, why don't you just go ahead...
Even though I want to catch them, there's no proof.
Look.
Wow, so this is it! I wouldn't mind having one of these.
Yeah, and those aren't glass beads stuck on there either.
Hey, look at the market-value, $200,000,000!
And that's how much?
Enough to buy my office one hundred times over, I guess.
Is that all?
And what's this thing sticking up here?
Here!
Please don't touch the case.
Sorry, sorry! I was thinking I might be able to break it.
What?
No, no, no! It's a joke, you know?
That pin is a vibration sensor.
Destroy it, and getting the crown is a piece of cake.
You'd think so, right? But it's not going to be that easy.
It may look like plain glass at first glance,
but it is coated with a special kind of plastic.
Even with a rifle, it won't be easy to break it.
I wonder if there happens to be a "special coating" here as well?
That tickles!
Just what do those two have going on?
See? Even if the glass cracks, the bullet is snared by the plastic,
looses force and falls harmlessly inside.
This is the same stuff that protects the crown.
Even a .44 Magnum wouldn't do it.
It was by special request of Uramania's Minister of Culture
that the glass was developed after much research.
Stay down. I'm going to open it up.
Son-of-a...
Saeko!
What is it?
You really got a license?!
Certainly, special A-Class!
Great timing! My air conditioner was broken anyway!
Yep, your airflow sure is better now.
Dead... Dead...
DEAD END!
What ya' get for playin' tough with us.
Better just do what we tell ya'.
It hurts...
What's goin' on?
What's wrong? Where're ya' hurt?
Here...
It hurts. I can't take it!
Oh no, Ryo! Try to help her!
Ryo?!
Just a second.
I like seeing her in that position.
What's your problem?
How is that?
Over just a little...
Wow!
See? She's tough.
It looks like they're pretty worried.
The microchip must be in the crown, just as I suspected.
Looks like it.
Might as well go get it now, turn it upside down and take a look.
I already told you, I don't have direct proof, didn't I?
The police can't just jump in like that.
Ryo, the best way is for the police to just "seize" something you've "stolen".
This is just about what I expected from you. You're too much!
Unfortunately, even if I go in to steal it, I can't break that glass.
You think I forgot? What about your awe inspiring one-hole shot?
If you open the hole with one shot, you can take out the sensor with a second,
even at a distance, without anyone noticing.
That's right! You could do it, Ryo!
In any event, it's clear that this is one tough job.
Don't you think you're asking a bit much making a request of me like that?
Not at all. You'll be amply rewarded.
Including all those past IOU's. Only it'll be...
"After the job is over", right?
Okay, listen good!
As soon as I get the crown, consider the job complete.
Your usual request for "additional arrangements"
will absolutely, positively not be honored!
What could you possibly be referring to? So see you in one hour.
You tricky little vixen!
Looks like she gives you headaches, Ryo.
And this doesn't sound like the first job you've done for her.
Yeah well, she's always using me.
One time she hired me as a body guard.
She made me do all kinds of stuff that wasn't part of the contract
and then abandoned me deep in the Himalayas
without even giving me the agreed upon compensation.
Despite all the sticky situations she's put me in,
thoughts of my reward blind me. The same thing happens again and again!
What kind of reward could possibly be worth all that?
Your idea of using the ventilation shaft is as impressive as ever.
It's nothing really.
But why am I in front?
Because we don't want any bad guys sneaking up on us from behind, right?
I'm sorry! My foot must have slipped, I guess.
My hand must have slipped too, I think.
Be quiet!
It's the guards' lounge.
I'm slipping.
You want to do this or what?
I just can't take my eyes off your tush.
What are you doing?
Just in case.
With these closed, no one outside can hear anything we do in here.
Not even a gunshot?
Well, maybe a little. But it's not a real problem.
Be careful. Set one foot in there, and the alarm will go off.
By my reckoning, it's thirty meters to the crown.
I'm a little worried. Do you think it will work?
Not with any ordinary gun perhaps.
This is the Smith and Wesson .41 Magnum, Model 58:
Very rare, from amongst the legions of machine-made, mass-produced guns,
there is born a weapon of exceptional accuracy,
a weapon not even an expert could hope to produce.
Since they say you're lucky to find one of these out of a thousand,
they're called "Senni Hitotsu", One-in-a-Thousand.
So, that gun is...
Right, One-in-a-Thousand.
I was worried though.
I thought the sensor might react to the shock from the first shot.
A very close thing.
The microchip is here!
What is it?
It's completed. The job that is!
Give me my reward now! Gimme! Gimme!
Don't be silly! Right here?!
You're such a mess!
What's going on? What happened?
I forgot.
We may have destroyed the sensor, but we did remove the glass case,
and that might be enough to set the alarms off.
No way, man!
Saeko, get down to the next floor!
Good job! The sleeping drug has taken effect!
We're in trouble. Some of the guards are still alert.
Have you forgotten, Ryo? This exit won't open.
No choice then.
That this is "Ladies' Undergarments" is good luck in its own way.
Take off your clothes!
By any chance is that why you had us come to this floor?
This is "Ladies' Undergarments", you get it?
Yeah, yeah.
Ouch!
Lucky goon, getting to see that!
A practical application of the one-hole-shot!
"The End"
She's fast at putting her clothes on.
Yes, thanks to you.
Well, that wraps it up.
It looks that way all right.
Okay, time for my compensation.
Wait, please, at your office.
Okay?
Why, certainly.
Sexy body!
Kaori, why?
So, this is your so-called "reward"?
About that...
You! Punishment time!
Save me! You! Punishment time!
Save me!
Let me go! You!
Wait, you!
No!
Don't do that!
Oh, I don't want to be in your way. Bye.
No, don't do that! Saeko!
Don't go!
I don't... How could you?!
Idiot!
Although the moon this evening is so beautiful,
it looks like my dreams are going to be bad ones.
Hi there! Next time I become a woman. Just call me Ryoko!
Stop it! You're making me queasy!
But with you gone on a trip I got all lonely!
Did you do the job you were supposed to?
You bet, an extremely beautiful gambling queen requested my services,
and I protected her from some suspicious characters.
You didn't try anything with her, did you?
Sure, I tried my best many times to out-gamble the Gambling Queen for her love,
but I didn't have a chance!
What's that?
A little inside joke there.
Next City Hunter: "The Gambling Queen - A Bet for Wonderful Love"
See you then!
