Step on the gas
Soaring too high
At 2 AM on a sleepless night
One can a day Careful, don't drink too much! Hi At 2 AM on a sleepless night
Frustration comes knocking on my door
Wolves that can't run
Wander around, clawing at the darkness
The last time I saw you
Was in the dusty crowds
Your accusing gaze
Left an ache in my back as I walked away
The roadway has been blocked by fog
Even now, I'm still looking for the answer
In the clueless night sky
The horizon stretches out
Running to the horizon
Break away from yesterday
Climbing on loneliness
Believe me baby
Running to the horizon
Break away from yesterday
Climbing on loneliness, a sky without constellations
Wow, wow, wow, a path without common sense
Wow, wow, wow, seeking only kindness
Wow, wow, wow, facing loneliness
Wow, wow, wow, I don't need you like that
Ryo, what's wrong?!
Damn, they're persistent!
Freeze! If you don't want to die, leave now!
What are you trying to act cool for, Ryo?
You can say lines like that after you've paid off your debt.
Anyway, I'll hang on to this as insurance.
The tools of my trade!
Even Kaori's Pissed! Ryo & a Young Lady ~Pinch Hitter Marriage Story~
Damn it, this is what happens when you go drinking when we don't have any money!
We never have money because you refuse every female client!
What am I supposed to do without the tools of my trade?!
Man, I guess I've got no choice.
I don't like it, but there's one client who wants to hire us.
The meeting is at 1 PM in the lobby of the Oshiuri TV Station.
The client is Miss Kanako Date. Once you meet her, she'll tell...
Damn, he's so fast when it comes to female clients.
Playing Detectives
No way!
It's truly a TV station.
This place is overflowing with a future reserve of mokkori girls.
Even the secretary's awesome. Truly a treasure trove of mokkori!
This is a good place to know. I'll make sure to remember it.
And here comes a real tasty looking mokkori!
You're Mr. Saeba?
Yes, yes, then you're...
Kanako Date, I'm so happy that you accepted my offer.
Beautiful clients are always welcome.
By the way, what do you want me to do?
It's simple. I want you to appear on TV with me.
You mean this "Playing Detectives" thing?
No, that one.
Newlyweds Come on Over
That's pitiful!
A pro would never allow his gun to be taken away as insurance!
Oh, but it's all my fault!
I just can't help but decline female clients,
so we always end up being short on cash.
Here you go, Kaori, on the house.
Thank you!
Oh, do you mind if I turn the TV on?
"Come on Over, Newlyweds" is really fun to watch.
Sure.
Come on Over
We're here to broadcast the sweet newlywed life to the length and breadth of Japan.
It is now time for "Come on Over, Newlyweds."
And here is our couple who will show us
their sweet newlywed life today!
What?!
Saeba!
With us today, we have Mr. Ryo Saeba and his wife, Mrs. Kanako.
Now, please tell us about your sweet newlywed life.
Ryo is just all over me all the time!
Well, if I had such a sweet, young wife, I would be too.
Ryo says that to me too.
He tells me that he adores me more than anything.
My, how delicious.
Hey, what in the world is this?
Come on, say it to me like you always do. Please!
Yeah! I adore you more than anything!
Oh, really?! I'm sure you don't find me adorable at all!
By the way, Madam, what do you like most about your husband?
His vulgar mokkori of course!
Mokkori is it?!
Ever since we were married,
he'll mokkori for me ten, twenty times a day.
He's just like a walking, talking mokkori.
I'll never forgive him! He got married without telling me!
Calm down, Kaori!
That bastard! Let me go!
Don't break our TV!
We'll take a commercial break now.
I won't allow it!
Oshiuri TV Station
Now, let's hear your explanation. What's going on?
There's nothing to explain. It's just like you saw it.
What?
Threatening me with a thing like this, were you testing me?
Oh, you knew?
I do make a living off of this.
Well, I'll explain it to you later. Get in.
Wow, a Ferrari Testarossa!
Doesn't this cost tens of millions of yen?
I don't know. I never ask the price.
I see.
I'm a rough driver. Hang on tight.
Sure thing.
Oh, darn it. It's the seventh one I've wrecked this year.
Seventh one?
Of these expensive ones...
The accelerators on these cars are hard to manage, you know.
So, is that the man you say you married, Ms. Kanako?
Right, he's my darling.
Pardon me, but he does not seem like a man suitable for you, no matter how I look at him.
It's none of your business!
I'm sure he's just after your money,
just like all the other men.
And what about you?
Don't be ridiculous.
The three-pointed star on this car should be proof enough of that.
How utterly offensive!
This is Mr. Toru Kazama.
What? Him? I knew I'd seen him before,
but I still don't know him.
I'm the heir to Kazama Industries,
a large corporation and a leader of Japanese industry!
I'm nothing like the scoundrel that you are!
Oh, really? I guess you're an important person.
Well, we can leave the future of Japan in little Kazama's hands.
Let's hurry up and get home so we can mokkori.
Bye-bye!
Hurry, hurry.
Damn...
Miss Kanako!
Who are these guys?
My suitors.
Ms. Kanako, is it true that you've gotten married?
Yes, it's true.
So give up on me already and quit following me around.
Come on. Let's go, Darling.
But...
I see. I'm playing the husband to keep those pesky suitors away.
Right, my money is all that they want.
But isn't that Kazama Corporation's heir different?
I just hate him on principle.
You saw him and his upstart, sarcastic ways.
Relationships between men and women sure are difficult.
Which one do you want?
You're my husband now. I'd like you to have a suitable car.
None of them are really my style.
If I absolutely had to decide...
I like that one!
A 1964 Volvo 122S. Man, that's pretty trendy!
Well, Sir, that car is about to be scrapped.
It is hardly something for Mrs. Kanako to ride in.
If you're going to scrap it, then I'll take it off your hands!
What a discovery.
I never knew that other cars were so fast.
Well, I thought we shouldn't lose our little friend back there.
I don't know that car.
Then maybe it's the beginning of a chase between two historic cars.
Damn!
That's a Volvo for you! Old, but still the toughest in the world!
Oh, a pincer attack?
I see, so that's it.
You're being targeted, so you wanted me to be your bodyguard.
Then why didn't you say so in the first place?
You sure took a roundabout way of telling me.
You're wrong. You're the one being targeted.
What?
Get out, Mister.
No kidding, it looks like I'm the target.
Shut up and move!
Yes, Sir.
They didn't!
Mr. Saeba!
Disappointed that they didn't kill me?
No! I really was worried!
Of course I didn't think the City Hunter would be killed so easily
if the reports are true.
So you wanted my skills as the City Hunter after all.
And I guess you've already done your research on me.
Yes, I even know that though you're good at what you do,
you've got a thing for beautiful women, which can be a weakness.
Please forgive us!
We didn't know that you were the City Hunter!
We meant no disrespect!
Why are you after me?
Right! We were hired over the phone to kill the man who married Miss Kanako.
Meaning, you don't know who hired you.
Yes, you're truly the City Hunter. You grasp the situation quickly.
Beat it!
We're sorry!
Now, since you've done your research,
you know that you'll be paying in mokkori, right?
Of course.
You are my husband, after all. Mokkori comes with the territory.
Let's go to my condo.
What a job benefit!
Have things ever progressed this smoothly before?!
Come on, the sooner the mokkori the better.
Oh my, so this car can go fast.
City Hunter?
What floor is your room on?
All of them.
This entire building is my home.
So, he's been living in a luxurious condo like that?
My, what a wonderful room!
I'm a lucky boy to be able to spend my newly married life in a great place like this!
Make yourself at home for a while.
I'll go change, so it'll be easier to mokkori.
Sure thing! Don't be long!
Yes! Finally I get to mokkori on my 117th try.
My two and a half year-long devotion has paid off!
I'm so glad I'm the City Hunter!
I'm pretty sure it was this floor.
Maybe I heard something.
Welcome, you're Miss Kaori Makimura, right?
Yes, that's right.
How did you know my name?
Kanako?
Ryo can't wait anymore.
Hurry!
Young girls are so impatient!
Kanako!
This ought to teach you, Mr. Mokkori!
That was Kaori's voice...
You've got some guts getting married without telling me!
No! No! That was just an act!
Liar!
It's true.
I'm Kanako Date.
I made an appointment to meet you at the TV station.
Oh, yeah.
They only mentioned your first name on TV, so I didn't notice.
She's the President of the Date Group, whose assets amount to forty billion,
and they own fifty buildings in this town alone.
I think I heard last year that the father died and his only daughter inherited everything.
You knew?
Well, this building belongs to the Date Group.
But why did you pretend to get married?
I wanted to drive away my pesky suitors.
After all, the only thing they want is my money.
But those suitors began to get into strange accidents one after another.
Luckily, all of them received only minor injuries.
In the beginning, I thought of it as divine retribution
and I didn't feel sorry for them at all.
But the accidents became more and more serious,
and I was afraid that someone would die soon.
So, I pretended to get married so I could try to find the culprit.
I see. So, that's why you hired me.
Right, if the rumors are true,
then I figured you wouldn't be killed by them so easily.
Well, they'll probably give up now.
After all, they now know that the City Hunter is my husband.
You don't seem to realize how valuable your fortune is.
The culprit won't give up so easily.
So, he's the target?
That's right. I want you to kill him.
I'll pay you whatever you want.
Do you know who he is?
I hear he's number one in the area. Are you afraid too?
Hey, who do you think you're talking to?
If you're worried, go find someone else.
Sorry, I've heard that you're the only one who could kill him.
Please accept the job.
Well, it's someone I'll have to get eventually.
There's only room for one number one around here.
Yes, you're the true number one. I'm counting on you.
I'll call you later.
What's with him? What a creep!
Falcon, are you really going to accept that job?
Say, Miss Kanako, we still don't know who the culprit is.
It's dangerous to be out in public so openly.
I'm safe, because the target is Mr. Saeba, not me.
Well, that's true.
It's weird with things being different from our usual jobs.
Forget about that, Miss Kaori. Let's dance and cheer up some more!
I'm fine.
I'll keep you company! Come on, let's go!
Oh, little Kazama, did you come to dance too?
You know what it means, don't you? I challenge you to a duel.
Do you know whom you're challenging?
It doesn't matter who my opponent is.
If it's to make you my wife, I will gladly throw away my life!
What's the time and place?
Midnight tomorrow, the Tokyo Bay landfill.
Be sure to come alone.
Perfect, and now, she'll be totally taken with my manliness!
What's wrong? Moved by his feelings for you?
Don't be ridiculous.
That old-fashioned attitude makes him even more uncool.
I guess you really hate him, don't you?
Listen up. You better do the job that you're paid to do this time.
But when our opponent is the City Hunter,
we fear for our lives.
Don't worry.
You guys alone would be hopeless,
so I hired a man named Umibozu.
Really?! Then I'm sure we'll succeed. Right?
I can't waste more time on this.
I have to settle this tonight.
Now, let's settle this already.
My mokkori with Kanako's waiting after this.
No need to rush things. Your opponent will be that man.
Miki, you're the witness.
Falcon...
On a date with Miki so late at night?
I'm sure that will cost you a pretty penny.
I was told that I'm the only one who could take you on.
So now I have to prove it.
I see.
But I don't think they trust you as much as you thought.
It's just like Saeba said.
There were some weird guys hiding out.
What's the meaning of this?
What? Well, it's kind of like insurance.
In other words, you don't trust me.
You've trampled on a pro's pride.
If you want to have him killed, do it yourself.
Wait a minute! There's no way we can win without you!
I'll tell you one thing though.
This guy has no pride.
After all, he's allowed his gun to be taken away.
Right now, even you guys might have a chance at winning.
Hey, he doesn't have a gun!
Then maybe we can win!
Bastard, he didn't have to say that.
City Hunter, your head is mine!
What in the world did you just do?!
I don't need a gun against amateurs.
Pin balls are good enough!
Help! Don't kill us!
Hey, stop! Do what I paid you to do!
Goodbye!
Bastards!
Now, what will you do?
Why don't you forget about this stupid duel and give up on Kanako?
I'll never give up!
Damn it! You won't get away with this!
Bastard!
Quit this futile struggle.
We already know that you ordered the attacks
on the suitors who got close to Kanako.
Yes! I was behind those!
But that was because I love Kanako!
Isn't Kazama Industries actually having huge financial difficulties
because your foreign investments failed?
How did you know that?
It's my job.
I had no choice.
If I don't marry her and obtain the Date Group fortune,
Kazama Industries will go bankrupt.
So, you're after my money too.
But even though this duel was only to draw my attention to you,
if you had fought honorably, my feelings might have changed.
It's unfortunate.
My job is done here. We're going home, Kaori!
Wait!
Say, won't you come on a honeymoon with me now?
There's no need to pretend to be newly married anymore.
No, I've really fallen in love with you!
Marry me for real!
Then the Date Group will be yours!
No thanks. It isn't my style.
Why? If you marry me, you can live a life of luxury!
And as long as you live like that,
you won't encounter a real man.
You should have more confidence in yourself.
You're very attractive, even if you have nothing but yourself.
"President of the Date Group, Miss Kanako Date,"
"donates her entire fortune to the welfare of society."
"Total value of forty billion yen!"
"Unprecedented, the largest donation in history."
She sure has guts.
She probably found something more important than money.
Too bad for you.
If you'd played it right, you'd have landed in the lap of luxury.
I like mokkori better than money.
I like money.
Saeba, when are you going to pay us back?
Come on, give me a little more time.
Ryo, what did you do with the pay we just got?!
I drank it.
Forgive me, Kaori!
Mr. Saeba!
Kanako!
I'm going to work hard from now on to attract a wonderful person with my own charms.
Will you mokkori for me even when I'm like this?
Of course!
Saeba! Pay us back!
Kane-chan, later!
Hi, Ryo. Want to get in?
Kaori, I love you!
You're so predictable.
Kaori, let me in! Kaori! Flying through the sunrise
Saeba!
Searching for the sunset
Pay back your debt! Searching for the sunset
Pay back your debt!
Changing the color of my lipstick doesn't excite me anymore
Because its color is far from that of dreams
A journey to see a sunrise like a ball of fire
If I could invite you too
I would take to the sky like a feather
If I can become passionate, that's all I want
An invisible sun will surely rise in my heart
I want to gaze upon something grand
Even my bit of courage goes barefoot
And runs away
A cute girl like that wants to learn how to use a gun?!
She might not look like it, but Miss Aiko's a detective, you know.
She said that the moment she began her first case, someone started trying to kill her.
I guess she's on a really dangerous case.
No, actually, she's looking for a lost dog.
A dog?! This beats all! A gun to search for a dog!
It isn't funny! There really is someone out to kill her.
City Hunter 3:
"Dangerous Detective Game! A Python for the Lady (Part 1)"
It'll be dangerous not to watch.
