[narrator] A family in mourning as the life of a good man is remembered.
A mother and child are set free...
with their captors close behind.
The detective lets his brother choose his own fate.
And hidden feelings begin to reveal themselves.
Watched on by his ghosts, a boy starts to unravel.
As unlikely families form,
others begin to crack.
And outside dangers move ever closer.
[door opens]
[drums beating intensely]
[water pouring]
[cup clinking]
Morning.
You ever done that before?
What?
Slept with a girl.
No.
I couldn't tell.
[chuckles softly]
[Taki] What?
Nothing. You're cute.
I'm going back to Japan soon.
Like, the rest of your life, or...?
Probably.
I always wanted to go to Japan.
You ever seen those monkeys that sit in the hot pools?
You know, in the snow?
If I went to Japan,
I'd go see those monkeys.
[mobile phone vibrating]
My dad.
[vibrating continues]
[voicemail] [in Japanese] This is Taki. I can't get to the phone right now.
[voicemail beeps]
Taki.
I can’t tell you how sorry you'll be if you don't answer the phone soon.
Where are you? Call me back straight away.
You're in a lot of trouble.
[sighs]
[mobile phone vibrating]
[in English] Sarah?
If you were planning on leaving, now would be a good time.
Both of you.
He hasn't gone to the police yet.
How do you know?
We don't hear sirens.
Kenzo, get Taki, go to the airport...
[Kenzo] And then run away?
What happens to you?
I don't know.
It's obstruction of justice harboring an offender.
It's a couple of years, maybe more.
- No. - [Sarah] Well, it is.
That's... that's what it is.
He said he was staying at his mother's house.
I'm not giving you the address.
What's his name?
- [Sarah] Ian. - What's his surname?
Oh, what are you going to do? Stab him in the back with a samurai sword?
- No offense. - Sarah...
Look, I know you want to help,
but the last thing the situation needs is the damn Mori brothers riding in.
They're still rebuilding Soho
after the last time you two got in a fight, remember?
[Kenzo] If you would tell tell us where we could find him, we could at least...
[Sarah] I'm not telling you.
[Kenzo] We need to stop this.
[Sarah] Yes, Kenzo, we do.
We need to stop the lying, and the violence, and the...
the chaos of this whole fucking thing.
So then, you go and rot in jail for us while we go and hide back in Tokyo?
[Sarah] I'll face the consequences of my actions,
which will not involve sending the two of you off
on some cockamamie mission to hunt my ex-boyfriend down.
This isn't you, Kenzo.
This isn't the man I...
I don't want anyone else to get hurt.
Please.
[Yuto] [in Japanese] I found the mother's address.
It's a 15 minute drive.
[sighs] [in English] I don't want anyone else to get hurt either.
Kenzo.
Don't do this.
I'm going to fix this, I promise.
[door closes]
[in Japanese] We're doing the right thing.
Yeah.
Sarah's worried, that's all.
But we have to do something.
Don't you think?
Yeah.
On the run from gangsters at my age.
I can imagine what my husband would say.
Where are we going?
It's an empty house in the countryside. How much more do you need to know?
This tea is dreadful.
What's that?
He's hungry.
What's wrong with your milk?
Let her do what she wants.
How much does this cost?
You're buying something your body makes for free.
Do you have an opinion on everything?
[Natsuko] Why would I not?
What kind of life would that be?
Do you see something and think, "Oh, I have no opinion on that"?
Why not give it a go?
You might find some peace.
From an old woman to a young one...
you'll never find peace.
Never.
It doesn't exist.
Where's the waitress? I'm ready to order.
I forgot something in the car.
Order me anything, I don't mind.
She says order her anything, but she doesn't mean it.
Whatever I choose will be wrong.
[telephone ringing]
[mobile phone vibrating]
It's Rei.
Maybe call her back later?
Yeah.
[continues vibrating]
[ringing continues]
[voicemail] This is Mori. Please leave a message.
[voicemail beeps]
Hello, husband.
Where are you, I wonder?
I've hired a car.
I'm on the run with the girl your brother fell in love with.
Your father's ashes are in an urn on a table in a roadside diner,
being guarded by your mother.
I'm miles away from home,
just like you.
And I didn't know who else to call.
And I don't know if I'm sad you didn't answer, or not.
[sighs]
You're not from around here.
How do you know?
The girls around here don't look like you do.
[Eiko] Like what?
They've got two eyes and a nose, don't they?
What's your name?
Why do you care?
I want to know what to whisper in your ear tomorrow morning. [laughs]
Eiko, what are you doing talking to this man?
Eiko, is it?
Who is this?
I don't know.
Where's Sora?
The staff are looking after him.
Come on, don't go, we were just getting to know each other.
What's your name?
Keiichi.
Eiko, you were right.
You found something dull enough for me to have...
absolutely no opinion on whatsoever.
Let go of her.
Tokyo whore.
What?
He was talking to me. Forget him.
[restaurant patrons laughing]
[exclaims]
I'm sure your suitcase will turn up eventually, Detective.
Maybe Takashi will lend you one of his shirts.
You okay getting back from here?
Hey, you should call me before you fly away forever.
[in Japanese] When we get there, we're not going to hurt anyone, okay?
Right.
We're going to ask him nicely for the photos.
We can be firm with him.
Okay.
But not violent.
He's holding a gun to our heads.
- [mobile phone vibrates] - [sighs]
What?
[Toshio] I'm in London.
[scoffs] Why?
I was sent over. To help look for you.
[Kenzo] Help look for me?
Hayashi didn't say anything.
Can I meet you today?
I have your address at the university.
[Kenzo] No. I'm not there anymore.
Somewhere else suitable then?
Restaurant, bar...
Above a fish market?
Meet me at Euston station.
The entrance to platform eleven.
Be there in an hour.
What's going on?
[Kenzo] Fukuhara.
[phone vibrates]
Hello.
[Kenzo] Taki, where the hell are you?
I'm sorry. I should have called.
Right now, I want you to go back to our room and stay there.
Don't answer the door to anyone.
What's the matter?
[Kenzo] Just go to the room and wait for me there.
Promise?
I promise.
[snoring]
[gasps] Oh, my god...
[in Japanese] Get up!
[groans]
Fuck...
[doorbell rings]
[in Japanese] Just remember an old lady lives here.
Don't punch the old lady. Got it.
Let me see.
Oops.
[Kenzo] He's not here.
Maybe the photos are.
This is stupid.
If he's going to report this, we should stake out the police station.
[siren wailing]
[telephone ringing]
[Ian] Hello?
Ian, it's me.
Please, can we meet?
Okay, I'll hear you out.
Usual place.
[knocking on door]
Japanese Columbo here thinks something's wrong.
Jesus, what is it?
What? You're just gonna go meet him?
Well, I'm going to try and talk him out of it.
You put him in jail. He doesn't wanna reason with you.
- He wants to destroy you. - That's a risk we're gonna have to take.
Take Taki to Kenzo's room and wait there.
Don't do anything stupid.
[siren wailing]
[gasps]
Was she speeding?
No.
Where are you all heading to?
A village near Wakasa.
We have a farmhouse there.
[policewoman] Long way to go.
We had a report of an incident this morning.
A man was assaulted with a soiled diaper and his motorbike was vandalized.
A witness overheard the victim calling one of his assailants...
a "Tokyo whore."
We have a description of three women carrying a baby...
driving a rust-colored car.
So if you see anyone that matches that description,
will you ask them to hand themselves in to the nearest police station,
or alternatively carry on to where they were going as fast as possible?
We'll be sure to do that.
[Baby Sora coos]
[laughing]
Back in the old local.
Still my local.
Yeah, it might stay that way. It's not a million miles from Pentonville.
- Don't gloat, Ian. - I'm not gloating.
Believe me, this don't bring me any joy.
Then why do it? You're not a malicious man.
You don't know what kind of man I am.
- Yes, I do. - No.
You don't.
I spent 18 months locked in a cage
with people bouncing my head off the walls for fun.
That sort of thing changes a man.
Maybe I became something different in that time.
Maybe you did too.
Half of London's looking for this guy, and he's...
he's, what, just hanging out in our... in your home?
It's hard to explain.
Yeah, well, I'd be fucking astonished if it wasn't.
I got caught up in something.
- I think you know what that feels like. - Yeah, I do.
I did a bad thing, and I was punished, but my intentions were pure.
And you're giving shelter to a murderer.
It's more complicated than that.
- Will you let me try and explain? - I never got a chance to explain.
- I know... - Never gave me a chance for forgiveness.
And I'm sorry,
and you're angry, and you've every right to be,
but doing this won't bring back the time I took from you.
It won't silence your demons.
You have no idea about my demons.
I know that I've just now let a tiny bit of fucking light back into my life,
and I know I don't deserve to ask of you, I know that, not after everything.
But it's this one small bit of happiness I've got,
and so I am asking you, please.
Please don't do this.
[sighs]
What are you doing?
Doing the right thing for once.
[sighs deeply]
Where the fuck did she put it?
Yes! Oh, God, I want to smoke this.
[sighs]
Okay, you need to help me.
How?
[Ian] Why'd you do it, Sarah?
I mean, Jesus fucking Christ. You've ruined me.
You took everything from me.
I'm sorry.
[Ian] Fuck sake. I loved you.
[cries] I'm so sorry.
I really am.
[voicemail] [in Japanese] You have one new message
and eight saved messages.
First new message:
[Rei] Hello, husband.
Where are you, I wonder?
I've hired a car.
I'm on the run with the girl your brother fell in love with.
Your father's ashes are in an urn on a table in a roadside diner,
being guarded by your mother.
You sent Rei and our mother to kidnap your girlfriend from the Yakuza?
I didn't send anyone. I asked them, and they said yes.
You had no right to ask that.
So I should just leave my son and the woman I love locked up?
Do you know how much danger you've put them all in?
- They'll be fine. - You don't know that!
I had to do something. This was the best chance I had.
Maybe the only chance.
[sighs in frustration]
Why do I keep helping you, thinking you'll change?
Christ!
Every time I get you out of a mess,
you turn around and make things a thousand times worse.
You've gone too far this time.
[announcer speaking indistinctly]
You shouldn't go in there.
Wait for me at the police station. If you see him, call me straight away.
Okay.
When this is done, so are we.
You're out of this family.
If that's what you want.
[mobile phone ringing]
How many of them are there?
Three.
[Kenzo] Are you in danger?
[Toshio] I'm fine.
[Kenzo] I can help you get out of this if you want.
Don't worry about me.
You found your brother.
Yes.
[Toshio] I wish you'd told me.
I'm sorry.
[Toshio] You're not going to bring him home?
[Kenzo] They'll kill him.
[Toshio] Probably.
Would you do it?
[Toshio] No.
Are you sure you don't want me to step in here?
I can handle it.
You go.
I always wanted to visit London.
You're welcome.
[Toshio laughs]
Look after yourself.
You too.
Goodbye, boss.
Goodbye, Toshio.
He knew something was wrong.
I need your phone.
Why?
I don't want you contacting him again.
We're doing things our way now.
Don't look so miserable, Detective.
This will all be over soon.
We'll get to him another way.
[Ian] Tell me the truth.
Did you even care about the corruption, or is it just...
that I cheated on you?
Do you care that I've broken the law,
or do you just care that I put you in jail?
It's mainly the jail thing, I'm not gonna lie.
[Sarah] I heard that Joyce stuck around.
Yeah.
Yeah, it turned into something. I don't know.
She came and visited me while I was away.
[mobile phone vibrating]
[Eiko] Yuto.
[in Japanese] I just wanted to hear your voice.
You got out of the house?
Yes.
[Yuto] So you're safe now.
I'm not safe.
My father's men will be after us.
I'm working on that now.
[Eiko] And what's more, your sister-in-law and mother are now in danger as well.
[Yuto] Yes, but...
Did you think...
before you sent your family into danger?
You needed rescuing, didn't you?
Yes.
[Yuto] Then, no, I didn't think.
Well, you should have.
Do you have somewhere you can hide out?
[Eiko] Yes.
Then go there and wait for me.
I have one more thing to sort out here.
Then I'm coming back.
I love you.
Good.
I love you too.
Now...
you’re finally going to man up...
- and apologize to your mother. - What?
Eiko, no, it's not the right time...
[Natsuko] Yuto.
Mum.
Mum, I'm sorry...
Don't speak.
Just come home.
Come back to us.
[sobs softly]
[sniffles]
[in English] Don't.
So this guy, Kenzo,
he's the tiny bit of light that you've let in?
Yes.
[Ian] Do you love him?
It's really none of my business, is it?
Part of my probation states I'm not allowed anywhere near you.
So, Christ knows what would happen
if I turned up with pictures taken outside your flat.
You'd be doing me a favor getting rid of these.
You're a twat, you know that?
You're a twat.
Nah, you're a fucking twat.
[chuckles]
Look after yourself, Sarah Weitzmann.
Thank you.
And I really didn't put a snake in your letterbox.
That's just... weird.
Sorry! Sorry, mate, sorry.
Police, police.
Yeah, I've just seen a man on the canal in NW1.
He's behaving very strangely, and I think he's carrying a knife.
All right, fella.
Gonna need you to put your hands up where I can see them, nice and slow.
- What? - Hands up.
All right.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
All right, all right, all right.
We have information that you might be carrying a weapon.
You got anything sharp in here we should know about?
Nope.
Tell me what the problem is, boys? [grunts]
Oh, no, that's a mistake.
We're arresting you on suspicion of possession of a Class A substance.
You don't have to say anything. Anything you do say may harm your defense.
All right, listen to me. My name's Ian Summers. I'm an ex-cop, all right.
- Please, I'm on probation, mate. Don't... - Sir!
- Sir, sir... - Please...
[brakes squealing]
Zero, this is three-two-four requesting medical assistance.
[siren wailing]
[indistinct radio chatter]
Kenzo, it's me.
It's all sorted.
You can come back.
Call me when you get this.
[mobile phone vibrating]
- [Yuto] [in Japanese] Brother. - Where are you?
Sarah's boss recognized me.
[Kenzo] What did you do?
He's sitting in the back seat.
Tell me where you are.
Michael Street car park.
Don't do anything. I'm on my way!
[in English] You killed someone with a samurai sword.
You should be in jail.
[speaks Japanese]
[Angling] What?
It was a wakizashi sword.
Yeah, well, it probably don't make any difference
to the guy that you shish kebabed with it.
The man I murdered was a corrupt piece of shit.
I did the world a favor.
It don't make any difference.
Murder is murder...
and you know it.
[Yuto] Something bad's happened.
What did you do?
[cries] I'm sorry.
[slurping]
Seki.
[Seki] Chief Inspector Hayashi.
Do you want something to eat?
No.
[Seki] You need to keep your strength up.
I have arranged a meeting.
What kind of meeting?
[Seki] The historic kind.
The heads of the families have agreed to discuss possible peace terms.
[Hayashi] Shin Endo approved this?
It was his idea.
Fukuhara will be hard to convince.
We're getting too old for war.
Chief Inspector,
get him to that meeting.
For all our sakes.
[door opens]
- [Kenzo] What have you done? - I didn't have a choice.
There's always a choice.
Okay.
So what's yours?
Let him go, or don't?
We're not killing him.
You don't want to go to jail.
Neither do I, neither does Sarah.
Yuto...
If you can't stomach it, walk away. I'll do it.
This isn't you.
Yes, it is.
Yuto. Don't!
You were right.
Every time you try to help me, you think I'm going to change.
But I never do.
You should have given up on me after that night at the bookmakers.
So let me help you this time.
You didn't kill him, the gangster.
In the bookmakers.
You didn't kill him.
It was me.
- [gun clicks] - [Angling whimpers]
[Yuto] Yeah.
I know.
When I was working for Fukuhara, I saw the crime report from that night.
I don't remember too much...
but I remember how many times I shot him.
Why didn't you say anything?
I was waiting for you to tell me.
After a while,
I realized you were never going to.
Why'd you lie to me?
It was your burden to carry.
Not mine.
Do you think I'm a bad person?
You're my brother.
[laughs]
That's just a nice way of saying yes.
Yuto. Don't!
[Angling gasps]
You know what I always liked about Rei?
She's never had any secrets.
You and me, we've got so much darkness around us.
We think we can hide in it.
But we can't.
I'm going home now.
To my family.
[sniffles]
You decide what to do about this guy.
Kill him or don’t.
Whatever you choose, own it this time.
[door closes]
He's not gonna recover.
I was just trying to help.
Well, you helped, Rodney. You killed him. Problem solved.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
- I'm sorry. - It's not good enough!
You had no right!
- I know that. - No, you don't know. You just...
Look at you! Look what you did.
God, you're a fucking poison.
- Sarah, I'm... - Just leave me alone!
- Fuck.
[groans]
[mobile phone vibrating]
[Kenzo] [in Japanese] Taki, I'm coming back now. Are you...
Do you love her?
[Kenzo] What?
Do you love Sarah?
I'm staying at Annie's tonight.
Don't call me. I won't answer.
Taki.
What are you looking at?
Kids make themselves so easy to find these days.
[inhales deeply]
You know,
it might not seem like it, but I do actually like you.
Thanks for following me into the bathroom to tell me that.
I need to know I can count on you.
We're on different teams, but we're all here for a common goal.
I'm here to arrest Yuto Mori
and ensure that my partner isn't harmed.
- Is that what you're here to do? - Sure.
You've got guns on you, right?
Yeah.
If I think for a moment you're going to use one, I'll take you down.
You saved my boss's life.
He was very insistent that you're not to be harmed.
[dryer blowing]
[Rei makes baby noises]
[clicking tongue]
You're bothering him.
Why don't you like me?
Did you hear me?
What do you mean, "like"?
[Rei] It's a feeling humans get when they have affection for something.
I don't know if you're familiar with it.
Don't be insolent.
It's a stupid question.
[Rei] Why?
I don't need to like you or not like you.
You're my daughter-in-law.
I'm a person!
I've known you for over 20 years.
You're too similar to me.
What does that mean?
I am who I am, I don't apologize for it.
But I know I'm not easy.
I've caused pain.
I remember the first time I saw you.
I knew straight away.
That I'd cause pain too.
[Natsuko] Yes, you had that look.
Like the world has been letting you down since before you were even here.
You didn't think I was good enough for your son.
It's true, admit it.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Of course you were good enough for him.
You just weren't right for him.
And he wasn't right for you.
You couldn't see it.
But the rest of us still had to watch it fall apart.
We were happy for a while.
Everyone's happy for a while.
[woman speaking Japanese over radio]
[sighs]
Did you believe her?
Yeah.
Me too.
[Hiroshi] Wakasa.
Long way to go.
[Rei] I'm on the run with the girl your brother fell in love with.
Your father's ashes are in an urn on a table in a roadside diner,
being guarded by your mother.
I'm miles away from home,
just like you.
And I didn't know who else to call.
And I don't know if I'm sad you didn't answer, or not.
I hope you're safe, wherever you are.
[mobile phone ringing]
Can you pull over?
[ringing continues]
[Rei] Kenzo?
Where are you? Are you okay?
[Rei] I'm fine.
I spoke to Yuto. He told me what he did.
[Rei] He didn't do anything.
He asked me to help, and I agreed.
You're in danger.
Yes, but we'll be okay.
[Kenzo] Do you need me to come back?
I need you to not have to ask.
I'll come back.
No.
What?
[Rei] I said no.
Rei...
I...
I love you very much, Kenzo.
But I won't have a ghost in my house.
Not anymore.
[sighs deeply]
[exhales]
[Baby Sora cries]
[Baby Sora crying]
[Annie] What happened was... Oh, God...
Hi.
Hey.
Um, this... this is Taki.
- Hi. - Hi.
Uh, these are my friends.
What's up? You want a beer?
[bottle opens]
[sniffs] How about a haircut?
On the house.
Could I stay with you for a little bit?
I can't tonight, babe.
Sorry, it's not that I don't want to, just... life, you know?
Sorry, I shouldn't have come here.
Let me finish your hair at least.
It's okay.
Maybe you should go back to your dad? I'm sure he's worried about you.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
Last month, I was in Japan.
My brother was dead.
I was a faithful husband.
Now I look around, and I don't know what's real and what's not.
I came to London,
and I met an English woman.
Maybe that's all I know.
I'm not English.
Oh.
I think you need to go and make sure your daughter's okay.
And then what?
I don't know.
I need to think.
I understand.
We are not bad people.
We just did bad things.
Really, what's the difference?
