Launched to stardom by Jim Jarmusch’s Mystery Train (1989), enigmatic actor Masatoshi Nagase thrives as the hardboiled detective wannabe Maiku Hama in Kaizo Hayashi’s trilogy of the same name, encompassing The Most Terrible Time in My Life (1993), The Stairway to the Distant Past (1995) and The Trap (1996). Stomping through the bustling-and-hustling port city of Yokohama, Hama operates out of a run-down movie theatre and his office sees every kind of customer: from rich ladies looking for runaway pups to serial murderers who look suspiciously like himself… Equal parts American hardboiled detective pastiche, Seijun Suzuki-style Nikkatsu akushon send-up, and Masatoshi Nagase’s own new school comedic charmer, the Maiku Hama Trilogy is a cult phenomenon of 90s Japanese cinema, presented here from its new 4K restoration.
In The Stairway to the Distant Past, now in vibrant colour, Maiku Hama returns in a dashing convertible that is promptly repo’d. Taking on odd jobs like looking for lost dogs, Hama’s search leads him to a past he thought he’d left behind as the port city’s most legendary stripper returns and gangs vie for control of the waterfront.

THE MOST TERRIBLE TIME IN MY LIFE
00:00:56.306 --> 00:00:57.724
Thank you.
00:00:59.267 --> 00:01:00.810
This movie's a real hit.
00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:03.229
Movies sure do well
during bad times.
00:01:03.229 --> 00:01:04.230
Thank you.
00:01:11.571 --> 00:01:16.534
Ma'am! You'll need a ticket
if you want in!
00:01:16.618 --> 00:01:22.165
I'm here for the detective agency
on the second floor.
00:01:22.165 --> 00:01:25.085
I'm not seeing the movie.
00:01:25.210 --> 00:01:31.216
I don't care where you're headed.
You have to buy a ticket.
00:01:31.216 --> 00:01:32.550
Very well.
00:01:34.636 --> 00:01:36.054
No credit cards.
00:01:36.638 --> 00:01:37.764
No cards.
00:01:43.311 --> 00:01:45.438
Keep the change.
00:01:48.233 --> 00:01:50.944
- Here.
- Thank you.
00:01:51.277 --> 00:01:53.279
What a strange system.
00:02:14.217 --> 00:02:15.552
What?
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.139
Only a thousand yen?
00:02:20.223 --> 00:02:22.308
How do I survive on this?
00:02:27.772 --> 00:02:29.440
Great! Another five hundred!
00:02:38.283 --> 00:02:39.325
Come in.
00:02:50.795 --> 00:02:52.046
Have a seat.
00:02:53.756 --> 00:02:54.674
Please.
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:05.101
Well...
00:03:05.727 --> 00:03:09.564
I want you to look for my little Marie.
00:03:09.898 --> 00:03:10.815
I see.
00:03:11.733 --> 00:03:13.359
A runaway?
00:03:14.444 --> 00:03:18.615
50,000 yen a day, plus expenses.
00:03:18.907 --> 00:03:22.619
I'll do my best,
but there's no guarantee of results.
00:03:22.994 --> 00:03:25.580
I understand. That's all right.
00:03:28.917 --> 00:03:31.461
- Candy?
- Thank you.
00:03:33.588 --> 00:03:35.673
She's your little girl?
00:03:35.965 --> 00:03:40.637
She disappeared two days ago,
00:03:40.637 --> 00:03:43.348
and I'm worried sick.
00:03:43.348 --> 00:03:46.184
I see. Don't worry.
00:03:46.851 --> 00:03:48.311
Can you describe her?
00:03:48.311 --> 00:03:51.981
Yes. I brought a photo.
00:03:54.275 --> 00:03:55.818
This is my little Marie.
00:03:57.654 --> 00:03:58.613
A dog?
00:03:59.072 --> 00:04:00.531
Yes, little Marie.
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.040
I'm off!
How's business?
00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:13.670
That woman's ring was really something!
00:04:14.629 --> 00:04:17.423
Good eye as always, Asa.
00:04:18.633 --> 00:04:21.010
Just between you and me,
00:04:21.386 --> 00:04:24.472
someone stole her most expensive diamond.
00:04:24.847 --> 00:04:26.349
You're lying!
00:04:26.849 --> 00:04:31.437
A fake detective like you
wouldn't land a case like that!
00:04:31.437 --> 00:04:35.566
I bet she wants you
to find her lost pet.
00:04:39.696 --> 00:04:40.697
Asa, could you...
00:04:41.698 --> 00:04:43.032
lend me some cash?
00:04:45.451 --> 00:04:47.620
- Hey, you!
- Hi.
00:04:48.329 --> 00:04:53.042
I polished it real good,
so pay up!
00:04:53.042 --> 00:04:54.877
Put it on my tab, will you?
00:04:54.877 --> 00:04:56.379
DETECTIVE LICENCE
00:05:21.696 --> 00:05:24.407
The name's Maiku Hama.
My real name.
00:05:25.491 --> 00:05:30.204
Private detective

LOST DOG "MARIE"
00:05:39.172 --> 00:05:43.217
There's not much
work for detectives right now.
00:05:43.551 --> 00:05:46.220
But things'll look up eventually.
00:05:49.974 --> 00:05:52.268
I've got a sister named Akane.
00:05:52.685 --> 00:05:56.356
My dream is to send her to college.
00:05:58.149 --> 00:06:01.069
If you've got a problem,
just leave it to me.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.369
What are you doing?
Get out of my way!
00:06:10.828 --> 00:06:12.163
Mr. Yamamoto.
00:06:18.252 --> 00:06:19.712
SEIZED GOODS
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.221
- Let go of my car!
- You've got to keep your promise.
00:06:28.596 --> 00:06:31.849
We're taking your car
until you pay back your debt.
00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:36.437
I've been so busy lately.
I'll pay you tomorrow.
00:06:36.437 --> 00:06:38.898
He says he'll pay tomorrow.
00:06:50.451 --> 00:06:54.414
You remember that girl I got you?
00:06:55.748 --> 00:06:57.041
Wait!
00:06:58.459 --> 00:06:59.752
I need my car!
00:06:59.752 --> 00:07:01.879
Bring the money
and you'll get it back.
00:07:02.213 --> 00:07:05.800
Until then, use this.
00:07:06.843 --> 00:07:10.221
My poor little Rambler!
00:07:11.681 --> 00:07:14.851
Damn it!
Loan shark trying to act big!
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.478
Don't underestimate a private eye!
00:07:20.064 --> 00:07:21.315
Wait, you bastards!
00:07:21.315 --> 00:07:24.902
MASATOSHI NAGASE IN
00:07:28.406 --> 00:07:33.995
THE STAIRWAY TO THE DISTANT PAST
00:07:51.179 --> 00:07:52.930
How beautiful.
00:07:57.685 --> 00:08:01.564
Things have completely changed
since you were last here.
00:08:06.444 --> 00:08:08.279
Stop there, will you?
00:08:21.709 --> 00:08:22.919
Thank you.
00:08:27.882 --> 00:08:30.259
Come see me at the theater.
00:08:39.018 --> 00:08:42.313
She hasn't changed one bit.
00:08:55.868 --> 00:08:58.996
Nothing like sake
in the middle of the day!
00:08:58.996 --> 00:09:02.083
You sure can knock 'em back.
How about another?
00:09:02.083 --> 00:09:04.961
Is that a dare?
One more, please!
00:09:04.961 --> 00:09:06.796
You can really hold your liquor!
00:09:10.132 --> 00:09:12.093
Give me another too.
00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:17.974
Miss, how about a drinking contest?
00:09:17.974 --> 00:09:19.850
Sure. Cheers.
00:09:20.810 --> 00:09:22.895
Cheers, everyone!
00:09:22.895 --> 00:09:24.605
Cheers!
00:09:33.781 --> 00:09:36.325
Thanks, everyone!
00:09:41.038 --> 00:09:42.290
Damn good drinker!
00:09:43.165 --> 00:09:45.293
No, it couldn't be her.
00:09:54.969 --> 00:09:57.388
Little Marie!
00:10:01.183 --> 00:10:05.646
Little Marie, don't you run away now.
00:10:06.647 --> 00:10:10.776
Little Marie. Come here, Marie.
00:10:15.573 --> 00:10:18.534
Come on now.
I didn't hurt you, did I?
00:10:23.873 --> 00:10:27.585
Damn it.
That's the 20th wrong dog!
00:10:29.253 --> 00:10:31.297
You can go. Bye-bye.
00:10:31.297 --> 00:10:33.132
Brother, what are you doing?
00:10:35.926 --> 00:10:39.013
- What are you doing?
- This and that.
00:10:39.930 --> 00:10:41.641
What are you doing here?
00:10:41.891 --> 00:10:43.684
I'm headed to Kyoko's house.
00:10:43.809 --> 00:10:46.312
Her mum's fixing dinner for us.
00:10:46.312 --> 00:10:47.229
I see.
00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:50.691
She's disappeared.
00:10:51.025 --> 00:10:52.443
Where'd Kyoko go?
00:10:52.943 --> 00:10:53.944
Kyoko?
00:11:01.786 --> 00:11:02.912
How cute!
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.039
Hello. I'm Kyoko.
00:11:05.247 --> 00:11:08.292
I'm Maiku Hama. My sister—
00:11:08.542 --> 00:11:09.835
Little Marie!
00:11:10.086 --> 00:11:11.754
A lost dog?
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.133
Poor little thing looks hungry.
What should we do?
00:11:17.176 --> 00:11:19.303
I'll take it to its owner.
00:11:19.637 --> 00:11:21.097
You know the owner?
00:11:21.097 --> 00:11:24.183
I'm a private eye after all.
I'll figure it out.
00:11:24.183 --> 00:11:26.602
- Here, give it to me.
- You're going home!
00:11:26.894 --> 00:11:30.231
I thought private eyes were shady,
but you're really nice.
00:11:30.481 --> 00:11:32.149
Gee...
00:11:32.942 --> 00:11:35.569
- Be sure to find its owner.
- Okay.
00:11:35.569 --> 00:11:36.987
Kyoko, let's go.
00:11:37.238 --> 00:11:39.740
Be on your best behavior at Kyoko's.
00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:40.700
I will.
00:11:41.242 --> 00:11:44.245
See you, Kyoko.
Come to our house next time.
00:11:44.495 --> 00:11:47.957
- Akane, you got your hankie?
- Don't worry.
00:11:48.791 --> 00:11:51.627
And money?
... not that I have any.
00:11:52.628 --> 00:11:53.629
Bye-bye!
00:12:04.849 --> 00:12:07.226
Well, case closed.
00:12:16.694 --> 00:12:18.904
VOTE FOR MASARU KANNO
00:12:20.656 --> 00:12:21.907
That scum.
00:12:28.789 --> 00:12:31.792
Masaru Kanno for city council.
00:12:31.792 --> 00:12:33.544
Please vote for me.
00:12:35.045 --> 00:12:37.840
Thank you. Thank you.
00:12:50.311 --> 00:12:54.064
Mr. Kanno, why don't you
take over the riverfront?
00:12:54.648 --> 00:12:58.778
The Taiwanese mafia is very strong.
If we do, it'll be a long war.
00:12:58.778 --> 00:13:01.989
It's all talk from Hong Kong
and no actual help.
00:13:01.989 --> 00:13:06.160
At this rate, even if we have Yokohama,
the Taiwanese will win.
00:13:06.619 --> 00:13:10.164
But if we hold the riverfront, we'll win.
00:13:10.623 --> 00:13:14.335
Girls, gambling, drugs.
00:13:14.835 --> 00:13:19.048
The riverfront will bring us huge profits.
We can't let it get away.
00:13:21.217 --> 00:13:25.221
We touch it and we're sunk.
00:13:27.223 --> 00:13:31.644
The river belongs to the White Man.
00:13:31.894 --> 00:13:37.233
Why worry about a black-market legend
we don't even know is true?
00:13:39.610 --> 00:13:42.947
No one's touched the river
since the post-war days.
00:13:42.947 --> 00:13:46.325
Not the police, the government,
or us—the mafia.
00:13:47.493 --> 00:13:52.581
The White Man hasn't interfered with us
either. That's the unspoken rule.
00:13:52.748 --> 00:13:58.337
We've broken all the other rules.
Why not break this one too?
00:13:59.505 --> 00:14:02.216
There are some rules
that we can't break.
00:14:02.842 --> 00:14:04.468
Grow up, you two.
00:14:04.844 --> 00:14:08.180
People change when they're up for office.
00:14:09.682 --> 00:14:11.725
Watch your mouth, Yamaguchi.
00:14:13.394 --> 00:14:17.231
Politics is for making money.
00:14:17.356 --> 00:14:21.318
If you want money,
there is more of it in the river.
00:14:21.610 --> 00:14:24.280
That river is flowing with gold.
00:14:24.488 --> 00:14:27.575
This conversation is over.
We don't touch the White Man.
00:14:30.744 --> 00:14:32.872
Don't get any ideas.
00:14:35.165 --> 00:14:37.626
Just concentrate on the election.
00:15:03.277 --> 00:15:05.195
BAR SACHIKO
00:15:05.529 --> 00:15:06.989
This looks delicious.
00:15:07.114 --> 00:15:11.869
I cooked this up just for you.
Eat up.
00:15:13.162 --> 00:15:16.582
Mom, why did you send me
to a private girls' school?
00:15:16.832 --> 00:15:20.127
I can't get along with
those stuck-up girls.
00:15:20.461 --> 00:15:23.797
You don't know how hard
I worked to get you in.
00:15:23.797 --> 00:15:27.134
- Right, Akane?
- You don't like it either.
00:15:27.343 --> 00:15:29.845
It makes my brother happy.
00:15:30.429 --> 00:15:32.890
I hear your brother's a private eye?
00:15:32.890 --> 00:15:33.933
So cool!
00:15:34.141 --> 00:15:39.730
Yes. We don't have parents,
so he takes care of me.
00:15:39.939 --> 00:15:43.150
His dream is to send her to college.
00:15:43.442 --> 00:15:45.277
Yeah. Funny, right?
00:15:45.444 --> 00:15:50.240
Not at all.
I understand how he feels.
00:15:50.866 --> 00:15:54.244
You can eat here every night.
00:15:54.411 --> 00:15:57.247
Think of me as your mother.
00:15:57.247 --> 00:15:59.625
You don't want a dirty mother like this.
00:16:00.167 --> 00:16:03.128
Is that what you think of your mother!
00:16:03.128 --> 00:16:06.090
It's starting to look like
I raised her wrong.
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:08.884
- Now eat.
- Let's eat.
00:16:09.051 --> 00:16:11.011
GOLDEN THEATER
00:16:14.765 --> 00:16:16.767
Dynamite-Sexy Lily?
00:16:17.017 --> 00:16:21.355
Without further ado...
With pride, we now bring you...
00:16:21.689 --> 00:16:23.315
LEGENDARY DIVA RETURNS TO YOKOHAMA
00:16:23.315 --> 00:16:25.776
Dynamite-Sexy Lily!
00:18:30.651 --> 00:18:33.028
- Is it her?
- It is.
00:18:33.278 --> 00:18:36.448
- Let's tell Maiku.
- Better tell him soon.
00:18:36.698 --> 00:18:40.035
This could lead to trouble.
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.132
Let's see. What's next?
00:18:54.383 --> 00:18:57.636
The apple juice is calling me.
00:18:58.595 --> 00:19:00.639
Apple it is.
00:19:03.851 --> 00:19:07.729
What are you doing here,
interrupting my bath?
00:19:07.729 --> 00:19:08.856
Scram!
00:19:09.106 --> 00:19:11.150
- Maiku.
- What?
00:19:11.650 --> 00:19:15.571
- Trouble, that's what.
- What kind of trouble?
00:19:15.737 --> 00:19:18.490
- We saw her.
- We sure did.
00:19:18.824 --> 00:19:21.952
Who did you see?
I already found Marie.
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.580
Well, you see...
00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:26.623
Lily's back.
00:19:27.332 --> 00:19:30.252
- Not that Lily.
- Yes, that Lily.
00:19:30.252 --> 00:19:32.671
She's back at the Golden Theater.
00:19:33.505 --> 00:19:35.007
That bitch.
00:19:35.007 --> 00:19:37.259
- Has she no shame?
- Don't get worked up.
00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:39.970
- Get out of my way!
- She is your mother, after all.
00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:41.555
That's why I can't calm down.
00:19:41.763 --> 00:19:44.892
If you get worked up,
your sister will find out.
00:19:45.058 --> 00:19:47.019
That's right. Calm down.
00:19:54.693 --> 00:19:56.320
Hi, girls!
00:19:57.196 --> 00:20:00.991
There's a young man waiting for you.
00:20:01.366 --> 00:20:04.661
- I wonder who.
- He's just my type.
00:20:04.870 --> 00:20:08.999
Got a foreign-sounding name.
Jimmy, Mike or something.
00:20:11.585 --> 00:20:13.045
Maiku!
00:20:35.567 --> 00:20:37.361
Why'd you come back?
00:20:39.613 --> 00:20:40.822
I missed you.
00:20:47.246 --> 00:20:49.122
My, how you've grown.
00:20:53.210 --> 00:20:54.711
How is Akane?
00:21:01.134 --> 00:21:02.844
She's in high school.
00:21:05.430 --> 00:21:07.349
I bet she's real cute.
00:21:11.270 --> 00:21:13.021
I want to meet her.
00:21:16.149 --> 00:21:18.110
You must be kidding.
00:21:19.569 --> 00:21:22.155
She thinks you're dead.
00:21:23.657 --> 00:21:28.870
How can I tell her that you're alive
and an old striptease queen?
00:21:29.746 --> 00:21:32.291
She thinks I'm dead?
00:21:33.625 --> 00:21:35.210
How terrible.
00:21:37.170 --> 00:21:41.008
Look, you abandoned us.
00:21:49.933 --> 00:21:51.518
Maiku.
00:21:53.228 --> 00:21:55.105
There's a reason for that.
00:21:55.272 --> 00:21:57.107
The hell there is!
00:22:00.861 --> 00:22:01.987
Listen...
00:22:03.322 --> 00:22:05.615
Stay away from Akane.
00:22:05.615 --> 00:22:06.908
Maiku.
00:22:08.243 --> 00:22:10.704
I'm here at the theater until next month.
00:22:27.179 --> 00:22:29.598
I was wrong about Kanno.
00:22:30.140 --> 00:22:32.142
We're the New Japs.
00:22:32.934 --> 00:22:35.479
We're not afraid of anybody...
00:22:35.479 --> 00:22:38.023
and we don't bow down to anyone else.
00:22:38.273 --> 00:22:42.402
And he's scared of some phantom White Man?
00:22:42.986 --> 00:22:46.531
Let's take over the riverfront ourselves.
00:22:47.824 --> 00:22:50.077
Kanno's no good anymore.
00:22:51.787 --> 00:22:54.664
We'll get the White Man.
00:22:54.748 --> 00:22:59.169
Then we'll take over the riverfront
and Kanno's turf.
00:23:01.254 --> 00:23:03.590
The future is ours.
00:23:18.188 --> 00:23:21.274
Where's the White Man?
00:23:21.608 --> 00:23:23.985
No one knows.
00:23:29.533 --> 00:23:31.535
Don't play dumb.
00:23:32.619 --> 00:23:34.162
We know you do.
00:23:34.329 --> 00:23:37.165
Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell.
00:23:37.958 --> 00:23:40.961
I'd commend your bravery...
00:23:41.378 --> 00:23:43.964
but this is what happens
when you're too brave.
00:23:51.388 --> 00:23:54.266
This continues till you talk.
00:23:56.268 --> 00:23:58.687
Let's talk.
00:23:59.271 --> 00:24:00.564
Kill me.
00:24:00.814 --> 00:24:04.568
The White Man will get me anyway.
00:24:05.068 --> 00:24:06.027
Go on!
00:24:07.571 --> 00:24:09.614
Is that the law of the riverfront?
00:24:10.490 --> 00:24:11.741
How stupid.
00:24:15.328 --> 00:24:18.206
We're going to get the White Man.
00:24:19.624 --> 00:24:25.338
Then we'll be the ones
who are protecting you.
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:31.678
Your head's next.
00:24:32.304 --> 00:24:34.806
Now talk.
00:24:35.891 --> 00:24:37.476
Talk!
00:25:01.249 --> 00:25:04.044
Who's next?
00:26:05.814 --> 00:26:07.732
Wait. Wait!
00:26:08.316 --> 00:26:11.820
Don't kill me.
I'm going to be a father.
00:26:12.988 --> 00:26:14.197
Please!
00:26:43.518 --> 00:26:47.522
We have heard from Kanno
00:26:48.023 --> 00:26:50.984
that you two have been expelled.
00:26:51.818 --> 00:26:53.320
Kill me!
00:26:53.945 --> 00:26:55.822
We're sparing you.
00:26:56.323 --> 00:26:59.284
Someone has to survive to tell the tale.
00:26:59.618 --> 00:27:01.286
Damn it!
00:27:02.078 --> 00:27:03.997
Shall I slice his Achilles' heel?
00:28:05.392 --> 00:28:10.563
Chief, there's so much killing.
Why can't we go in?
00:28:11.856 --> 00:28:13.316
You know why.
00:28:13.316 --> 00:28:15.819
The riverfront's not under
our jurisdiction.
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:19.614
The harbour police say the same thing.
00:28:19.948 --> 00:28:23.368
So whose jurisdiction is it, then?
00:28:24.661 --> 00:28:29.040
Well, all we know is that it's not ours.
00:28:29.332 --> 00:28:32.043
The U.S. Occupation is over.
00:28:32.252 --> 00:28:37.966
The law doesn't apply to the riverfront?
I won't allow that nonsense.
00:28:38.717 --> 00:28:42.095
This is our chance to get the White Man.
00:28:46.015 --> 00:28:50.103
Anything you do on your own
will kill you. That's all.
00:28:56.067 --> 00:28:58.820
- Brother.
- What?
00:28:59.154 --> 00:29:01.322
What was mother like?
00:29:02.407 --> 00:29:03.533
What's this about?
00:29:04.701 --> 00:29:07.203
I don't even know what she looked like.
00:29:09.038 --> 00:29:10.206
She was very pretty.
00:29:11.166 --> 00:29:13.418
How pretty was she?
00:29:14.878 --> 00:29:17.255
I don't really know.
00:29:18.381 --> 00:29:21.551
I was little, so I don't remember.
00:29:22.343 --> 00:29:23.970
I see.
00:29:25.805 --> 00:29:27.766
She was kind.
00:29:29.768 --> 00:29:32.270
Do you want an orange?
00:29:32.479 --> 00:29:34.063
Maiku, I've got to see you.
00:29:34.189 --> 00:29:37.567
- Can't you see I'm eating?
- Excuse us.
00:29:40.069 --> 00:29:45.325
You know that bar Sachiko
by the river?
00:29:46.159 --> 00:29:47.452
Heard of it.
00:29:47.702 --> 00:29:51.206
The owner of that bar has a history.
00:29:52.749 --> 00:29:56.711
All the jewelry and fur shops
in the area have been robbed.
00:29:57.003 --> 00:29:59.756
Go catch the robber, then.
00:29:59.964 --> 00:30:04.219
Watch your mouth, punk.
We have no evidence.
00:30:04.928 --> 00:30:10.642
I've been all through it.
I haven't found anything.
00:30:10.850 --> 00:30:12.435
Don't kid around!
00:30:12.560 --> 00:30:16.189
You call me a thief.
Well where are the jewels?
00:30:16.397 --> 00:30:18.608
So police can do whatever they want?
00:30:18.858 --> 00:30:21.528
We know you stole them.
00:30:21.903 --> 00:30:24.072
Where are you hiding them?
00:30:24.364 --> 00:30:25.907
Do you know what will happen
00:30:26.115 --> 00:30:30.495
if you keep messing around
on the riverfront?
00:30:30.745 --> 00:30:32.956
He won't let this slide.
00:30:35.166 --> 00:30:39.462
Neither the police nor the yakuza
can touch the riverfront.
00:30:40.797 --> 00:30:46.594
A lousy detective found dead
would just be an accident.
00:30:47.095 --> 00:30:48.805
You petty thief.
00:30:49.222 --> 00:30:51.391
Don't talk to me like that!
00:30:52.100 --> 00:30:54.686
We didn't find anything.
00:30:54.811 --> 00:30:57.605
That's all we can do without a warrant.
00:30:58.189 --> 00:30:59.774
Shit.
00:31:00.775 --> 00:31:03.736
I'll get your ass.
00:31:13.162 --> 00:31:15.415
I'm telling the White Man.
00:31:16.332 --> 00:31:18.751
Just like that hag said.
00:31:18.918 --> 00:31:22.255
No evidence, no arrests.
00:31:23.172 --> 00:31:25.091
So what do you want me to do?
00:31:25.258 --> 00:31:29.762
Get some evidence.
Find out where she's sending the goods.
00:31:29.762 --> 00:31:32.181
Isn't that a cop's job?
00:31:32.181 --> 00:31:36.019
Our hands are tied, so I'm asking you.
00:31:36.144 --> 00:31:38.688
Why are you so worked up about this?
00:31:41.357 --> 00:31:46.237
She jilted you, didn't she?
You ought to know better at your age.
00:31:46.905 --> 00:31:49.198
Anyway, I'm not interested.
00:31:49.324 --> 00:31:51.159
Don't get on your high horse.
00:31:51.659 --> 00:31:54.662
If you want to stay in Yokohama,
you'll do as I say.
00:31:54.996 --> 00:31:59.208
I'll ruin your little detective business
in a heartbeat.
00:32:02.629 --> 00:32:04.631
Is that a threat?
00:32:05.340 --> 00:32:10.845
Say, I heard you were hiding drugs
in your office.
00:32:12.263 --> 00:32:14.515
I don't have stuff like that.
00:32:14.766 --> 00:32:19.646
If I said you did, I'd find some.
00:32:19.646 --> 00:32:21.856
You know how I operate.
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:24.984
That's a dirty move.
00:32:24.984 --> 00:32:27.028
And you call yourself a policeman!
00:32:27.570 --> 00:32:31.824
You'd be put away for a while.
00:32:32.075 --> 00:32:35.161
Your poor sister
would have to quit school.
00:32:35.995 --> 00:32:39.123
With me around, she won't find work.
00:32:40.124 --> 00:32:45.088
She might want to think about
following in your mum's footsteps
00:32:45.088 --> 00:32:47.882
and making a living as a stripper.
00:32:49.133 --> 00:32:51.094
Let's see you do it!
00:32:51.844 --> 00:32:54.138
And I'll tear you to pieces.
00:32:54.681 --> 00:32:59.018
Now, now.
I didn't say you wouldn't get paid.
00:33:00.019 --> 00:33:03.022
The car you lost to your loan shark—
00:33:03.356 --> 00:33:06.025
I got it back for you.
00:33:06.943 --> 00:33:09.445
I'm just asking you to do a job.
00:33:10.196 --> 00:33:14.742
You can't refuse, can you,
Mr. Private Eye?
00:33:38.307 --> 00:33:39.892
Yamaguchi.
00:33:41.144 --> 00:33:42.687
Are you all right?
00:34:00.371 --> 00:34:02.915
It's okay to hate me.
00:34:04.167 --> 00:34:07.086
But do you really want to die here?
00:34:18.514 --> 00:34:21.434
I remember the first time we met.
00:34:24.645 --> 00:34:26.647
I liked you.
00:34:28.941 --> 00:34:31.611
I want to help you out this time too.
00:34:34.030 --> 00:34:37.241
Masaru Kanno for city council.
Thank you for your support.
00:34:37.241 --> 00:34:40.620
Vote for Masaru Kanno.
00:35:48.563 --> 00:35:50.481
Welcome home.
00:35:51.149 --> 00:35:55.695
- Mitsuko, you're still up?
- She wouldn't sleep till Mama came home.
00:35:55.903 --> 00:35:57.530
You'll be sleepy tomorrow.
00:35:57.530 --> 00:36:00.700
- I want to sleep with Mama.
- Okay, dear.
00:36:42.742 --> 00:36:46.204
DYNAMITE-SEXY LILY
00:37:09.435 --> 00:37:11.687
Kid, what's your name?
00:37:12.230 --> 00:37:13.981
Maiku Hama.
00:37:14.398 --> 00:37:16.651
So you're Maiku.
00:37:18.027 --> 00:37:19.946
Want some cake?
00:37:27.286 --> 00:37:29.247
Give this to your mum.
00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:32.959
Hang in there, kid.
00:37:52.478 --> 00:37:54.480
Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:37:55.731 --> 00:37:59.694
You've been crying. I'm sorry.
00:38:00.653 --> 00:38:03.114
I'll be done in a minute.
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.908
There, there. Good girl.
00:38:12.665 --> 00:38:16.168
Maiku, want to go to the zoo tomorrow?
00:38:17.586 --> 00:38:22.675
But the next morning she'd left,
leaving a note and an envelope behind.
00:38:28.014 --> 00:38:29.682
Look, I've won again.
00:38:29.807 --> 00:38:31.934
Miss Lily, you're so good.
00:38:32.018 --> 00:38:34.020
I'm good at all games.
00:38:34.186 --> 00:38:36.314
You're good at dancing too.
00:38:36.314 --> 00:38:40.443
You've got a nicer bust,
but I've got better legs.
00:38:41.944 --> 00:38:44.864
Lily, this is from an admirer.
00:38:45.781 --> 00:38:47.783
From that young man?
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:23.903
I knew you'd come see me.
00:39:25.321 --> 00:39:27.073
You haven't changed.
00:39:28.949 --> 00:39:30.701
Neither have you.
00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:35.456
It's been a long time.
I'm an old man now.
00:39:37.124 --> 00:39:41.921
And I've turned into an old woman.
00:39:43.464 --> 00:39:45.925
You're as beautiful as ever.
00:39:48.260 --> 00:39:51.514
Take me somewhere.
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:27.383
It's just like old times.
00:40:52.241 --> 00:40:54.535
Fifteen long years.
00:40:55.744 --> 00:40:57.955
I've put you through so much.
00:41:12.178 --> 00:41:14.680
You saved me.
00:41:16.348 --> 00:41:18.225
Don't worry about the past.
00:42:31.757 --> 00:42:33.384
FUR SHOP
00:42:40.766 --> 00:42:42.560
There she goes.
00:45:38.527 --> 00:45:40.529
This is a treasure ship.
00:45:58.547 --> 00:46:00.799
What are you doing there?
00:47:26.218 --> 00:47:27.636
Watch out!
00:47:29.847 --> 00:47:31.348
You almost hit me!
00:48:13.682 --> 00:48:16.059
Yokohama's changed a lot.
00:48:16.935 --> 00:48:18.312
It has.
00:48:19.897 --> 00:48:22.316
But I like it now, too.
00:48:22.733 --> 00:48:24.568
I don't like it one bit.
00:48:26.111 --> 00:48:27.946
You really haven't changed.
00:48:28.196 --> 00:48:33.619
Everything is different now.
Soon, I won't have anywhere to go.
00:48:47.382 --> 00:48:50.469
In those days everyone was in the dark.
00:49:03.023 --> 00:49:07.152
I'm the only one
who still lives in the past.
00:49:23.251 --> 00:49:24.753
Let's go rest.
00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:27.714
You haven't changed at all.
00:49:47.609 --> 00:49:48.610
Hey!
00:49:49.027 --> 00:49:51.321
- Get up.
- Why?
00:49:51.488 --> 00:49:54.533
- You're getting my car dirty.
- Who cares?
00:49:54.658 --> 00:49:55.951
I care!
00:49:57.577 --> 00:49:59.705
Hey, gimme a cigarette.
00:50:02.624 --> 00:50:05.210
Boy, they really did it to me.
00:50:05.919 --> 00:50:07.963
What did you do with my jet ski?
00:50:07.963 --> 00:50:12.217
- I left it there.
- Left it there? Let's go get it.
00:50:12.467 --> 00:50:15.637
- Too dangerous.
- Dangerous?
00:50:16.096 --> 00:50:18.807
Maiku, what are you onto?
00:50:19.433 --> 00:50:23.103
Hoshino, you ever hear of the White Man?
00:50:23.270 --> 00:50:26.231
You mean that legendary guy?
00:50:27.149 --> 00:50:28.608
This related to him?
00:50:31.486 --> 00:50:33.613
This is way too dangerous.
00:50:35.032 --> 00:50:36.950
Really dangerous.
00:50:47.085 --> 00:50:50.505
Sorry, we're closed today.
00:50:52.215 --> 00:50:53.842
I'll help myself.
00:51:19.576 --> 00:51:23.080
Don't worry.
We'll take care of your daughter.
00:51:23.789 --> 00:51:26.291
What? What did I do?
00:51:26.458 --> 00:51:29.795
We think someone from the cops
got in our ship.
00:51:30.128 --> 00:51:33.548
- And it's my fault?
- Yes. You messed up.
00:51:34.424 --> 00:51:36.176
But I'm one of you.
00:52:00.909 --> 00:52:03.620
Maiku's not been around for a few days.
00:52:05.413 --> 00:52:07.207
Shit! Maybe they got him.
00:52:07.207 --> 00:52:10.752
And I had a chance at a merit citation.
00:52:12.587 --> 00:52:14.714
Detective Nakayama?
00:52:14.798 --> 00:52:17.592
Who are you?
What gang are you with?
00:52:20.929 --> 00:52:23.265
I'd like a word with you.
00:52:23.849 --> 00:52:27.394
You know what would happen to you?
00:52:30.564 --> 00:52:34.359
Two million at the races,
one and a half on baseball gambling,
00:52:34.568 --> 00:52:36.820
and three with the loan sharks.
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:41.950
You have a number of debts,
don't you, Mr. Nakayama?
00:52:43.160 --> 00:52:44.786
What about it?
00:52:44.911 --> 00:52:46.913
That's not all.
00:52:47.205 --> 00:52:50.834
You take payments for tipping people off.
00:52:50.959 --> 00:52:53.503
And you demand that the yakuza
keep you entertained.
00:52:53.587 --> 00:52:56.214
That watch of yours is a gift too.
00:52:57.048 --> 00:53:01.011
What a great side job you've got.
The media would eat this up.
00:53:03.138 --> 00:53:07.559
But that's nothing.
What if you're prosecuted?
00:53:08.226 --> 00:53:12.689
You know what happens
to cops who go to jail?
00:53:13.857 --> 00:53:16.193
It would be hell for you.
00:53:20.989 --> 00:53:25.493
Mr. Nakayama,
let us take care of these debts.
00:53:25.660 --> 00:53:28.330
You'll no longer have money problems.
00:53:29.623 --> 00:53:33.335
What do you want?
Inside information?
00:53:33.752 --> 00:53:35.629
Don't make me laugh.
00:53:36.171 --> 00:53:38.590
That has no value to us.
00:53:39.591 --> 00:53:41.718
This is our investment.
00:53:41.885 --> 00:53:44.721
We're going to help you
come up in the world.
00:53:45.013 --> 00:53:47.474
Whatever you want,
we'll back you up.
00:53:49.059 --> 00:53:51.019
With our help,
00:53:51.144 --> 00:53:55.273
you could be promoted to Chief of Police.
00:54:03.657 --> 00:54:06.076
Police Chief, eh?
00:54:12.749 --> 00:54:17.712
Please take this. It's pocket money.
We'll handle the debts later.
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:27.305
Now,
00:54:27.722 --> 00:54:31.768
will you tell us who was photographing us?
00:54:33.186 --> 00:54:36.648
That punk, Maiku.
He still alive?
00:54:38.066 --> 00:54:42.612
Maiku?
Just leave him to us.
00:54:45.282 --> 00:54:47.075
Where'd Maiku go?
00:54:47.575 --> 00:54:50.537
He hasn't paid me yet.
00:54:52.372 --> 00:54:54.833
If you see Maiku, let me know.
00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:56.876
Yes, of course.
00:54:56.918 --> 00:55:00.672
- You'll be rewarded.
- Really? Thanks.
00:55:03.842 --> 00:55:05.051
Bye.
00:55:06.511 --> 00:55:11.141
"You'll be rewarded" my ass!
Maiku's in real trouble.
00:55:34.289 --> 00:55:36.541
How can I help you?
00:55:36.624 --> 00:55:39.294
If you see him, call me.
00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:44.883
These guys are serious.
Where has Maiku gone?
00:55:45.050 --> 00:55:49.304
I hope he escapes. If he's in Yokohama,
he'll be caught for sure.
00:55:52.474 --> 00:55:55.310
WANTED - MAIKU HAMA
00:56:32.847 --> 00:56:34.516
Bastard!
00:57:45.211 --> 00:57:47.130
Thanks, Pop.
00:57:47.255 --> 00:57:48.882
You take care.
00:57:53.344 --> 00:57:54.888
See you.
00:58:26.461 --> 00:58:28.588
It's clearly an accident.
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.592
She got drunk, fell in, and drowned.
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:36.346
Impossible.
00:58:37.096 --> 00:58:39.766
Mother never drank.
00:58:40.558 --> 00:58:45.563
Well, we'll investigate.
00:58:59.035 --> 00:59:01.663
BAR OWNER FOUND DROWNED
00:59:02.705 --> 00:59:08.419
So she would steal the stuff
and give it to the White Man.
00:59:08.545 --> 00:59:11.714
But there were far worse things
on that boat.
00:59:12.423 --> 00:59:16.177
You saw what they were carrying,
so they had to get rid of her.
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:19.389
So it's my fault.
00:59:19.556 --> 00:59:22.475
Don't blame yourself.
00:59:23.268 --> 00:59:26.145
More importantly, they're gonna kill you.
00:59:26.938 --> 00:59:29.649
Thugs all around your office.
00:59:29.774 --> 00:59:31.317
He's right, you know.
00:59:31.526 --> 00:59:35.321
Nakayama's still alive.
He sold you out.
00:59:35.655 --> 00:59:39.117
I took your sister to a safe place.
00:59:39.284 --> 00:59:43.204
Take this money and clear out.
00:59:44.664 --> 00:59:48.585
The White Man killed
a couple of Kanno's men.
00:59:49.836 --> 00:59:55.717
That river is a smuggling path
for drugs, whores, and guns.
00:59:55.717 --> 00:59:59.470
An escape route for criminals.
A lawless district.
00:59:59.637 --> 01:00:02.140
Does this White Man really exist?
01:00:02.682 --> 01:00:05.643
Yes, but I only met him once.
01:00:07.353 --> 01:00:10.106
It was when I was a rookie detective.
01:00:49.979 --> 01:00:51.981
He's completely undocumented.
01:00:52.774 --> 01:00:56.069
Nobody knows his birthplace or real name.
01:00:57.612 --> 01:01:01.282
He'd supposedly been killed in the war,
01:01:02.116 --> 01:01:04.410
but then resurfaced here in Yokohama.
01:01:07.121 --> 01:01:11.584
The riverfront was
yakuza territory early on.
01:01:12.293 --> 01:01:18.132
In a single night,
he killed every gang member.
01:01:18.132 --> 01:01:19.676
He slaughtered them all.
01:01:21.135 --> 01:01:22.595
Rumor has it,
01:01:22.595 --> 01:01:27.809
he got his riverfront authority
straight from G.H.Q.
01:01:28.851 --> 01:01:31.104
Even after the occupation was over,
01:01:31.104 --> 01:01:36.317
he managed to come out alive
every time blood flowed into the river.
01:01:37.694 --> 01:01:39.445
He never leaves the riverfront,
01:01:39.570 --> 01:01:44.367
but if anybody dares to get in his way,
he makes sure to kill every one of them.
01:01:47.912 --> 01:01:53.751
As long as he's around,
the cops can't touch the place.
01:01:54.335 --> 01:01:56.921
Even though it's been 50 years now.
01:01:57.922 --> 01:01:59.924
I don't care about all that!
01:02:01.384 --> 01:02:05.263
He can't get away with killing a woman!
01:02:05.805 --> 01:02:09.434
Calm down.
Think about Akane.
01:02:10.601 --> 01:02:12.812
You stay here, you're dead.
01:02:14.731 --> 01:02:16.482
It's all my fault.
01:02:17.650 --> 01:02:22.488
I got those kids' mother killed.
01:02:24.657 --> 01:02:26.367
It's all my fault.
01:02:27.493 --> 01:02:28.411
Maiku!
01:02:31.789 --> 01:02:35.585
I'll take care of this my way.
01:02:36.461 --> 01:02:37.712
Maiku!
01:02:39.547 --> 01:02:41.507
Leave me alone!
01:02:47.764 --> 01:02:52.769
I'm not going to get involved,
but I won't stop you.
01:02:54.562 --> 01:02:55.813
Hoshino.
01:02:57.732 --> 01:02:59.192
Be careful.
01:03:00.735 --> 01:03:02.820
How do you feel?
01:03:04.030 --> 01:03:05.239
Just relax.
01:03:07.575 --> 01:03:09.160
Mr. Kanno.
01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:16.959
I was wrong.
I'm sorry for what I did.
01:03:18.878 --> 01:03:21.130
So long as you understand.
01:03:23.424 --> 01:03:25.259
You know,
01:03:26.844 --> 01:03:32.058
I think of you as my younger brother.
01:03:33.935 --> 01:03:37.647
I can't forgive them
for doing this to you.
01:03:40.066 --> 01:03:41.567
Mr. Kanno.
01:03:44.695 --> 01:03:46.447
Yamaguchi.
01:03:49.200 --> 01:03:51.494
If only we didn't have this election.
01:03:52.703 --> 01:03:57.291
It's too bad that I can't fight them
for what they've done to you.
01:04:03.422 --> 01:04:06.175
I'm the laughing stock of all Yokohama.
01:04:11.597 --> 01:04:13.307
Mr. Kanno.
01:04:14.809 --> 01:04:18.062
I'll get the White Man for you.
01:04:18.729 --> 01:04:21.274
- What?
- I won't trouble you.
01:04:21.357 --> 01:04:24.652
I've been expelled,
so this is my personal problem.
01:04:24.944 --> 01:04:29.657
I won't embarrass you.
Let me do it!
01:04:33.035 --> 01:04:35.955
All right, Yamaguchi.
01:04:59.353 --> 01:05:00.938
I thought you'd be here.
01:05:05.902 --> 01:05:12.617
You'd come here to sulk
when you were little.
01:05:15.912 --> 01:05:18.122
You shouldn't be seen with me.
01:05:19.874 --> 01:05:21.500
Leave.
01:05:22.251 --> 01:05:24.754
You're worried about me?
01:05:26.714 --> 01:05:28.299
How sweet.
01:05:28.549 --> 01:05:30.343
Leave me alone!
01:05:32.345 --> 01:05:36.140
Bury your pride and get out of Yokohama.
01:05:36.724 --> 01:05:38.351
Let your mother help you escape.
01:05:38.351 --> 01:05:40.561
What do you know about being a mother!
01:05:45.399 --> 01:05:47.485
You know why I came back?
01:05:48.653 --> 01:05:50.571
How should I know?
01:05:51.822 --> 01:05:56.953
Let me guess...
years of wandering made you homesick?
01:05:57.662 --> 01:05:59.121
That's right.
01:06:00.164 --> 01:06:02.208
I wanted to see you again.
01:06:02.833 --> 01:06:05.211
You should've thought of that before!
01:06:06.963 --> 01:06:08.756
I also wanted...
01:06:09.674 --> 01:06:12.885
to see your father.
01:06:17.682 --> 01:06:19.141
My father?
01:06:29.777 --> 01:06:31.612
Remember?
01:06:32.321 --> 01:06:36.117
The day before I disappeared?
01:06:43.416 --> 01:06:46.168
Give this to your mum.
01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:49.839
What do you mean?
01:06:50.756 --> 01:06:54.635
I loved him so much.
I still do.
01:06:55.344 --> 01:06:58.097
I'd do anything for him.
01:06:59.765 --> 01:07:00.725
But, Maiku...
01:07:01.183 --> 01:07:04.937
I don't want you to see him.
01:07:06.313 --> 01:07:07.982
Please, Maiku.
01:07:09.734 --> 01:07:11.068
What?
01:07:11.318 --> 01:07:13.571
What are you trying to say!
01:07:18.200 --> 01:07:21.579
Your father is...
01:07:30.379 --> 01:07:32.339
the White Man.
01:07:40.139 --> 01:07:41.766
I don't believe you.
01:07:47.104 --> 01:07:49.023
What are you talking about.
01:07:50.399 --> 01:07:52.568
There's no way!
01:07:52.651 --> 01:07:53.903
Where are you going?
01:07:55.571 --> 01:07:57.114
Stop!
01:07:58.199 --> 01:08:01.494
He'd kill his own son.
01:08:44.161 --> 01:08:45.287
Mary.
01:08:49.166 --> 01:08:51.460
Is that you, Maiku?
01:08:52.461 --> 01:08:55.548
Finally, you've come to me.
01:08:56.006 --> 01:09:00.928
You're my type.
I'll show you a good time.
01:09:01.887 --> 01:09:04.598
Sorry. Not this time.
01:09:06.851 --> 01:09:08.352
Mary.
01:09:09.728 --> 01:09:13.065
You know everything there is
to know about this town.
01:09:13.315 --> 01:09:14.900
That's right.
01:09:15.025 --> 01:09:18.863
I've stood here and
seen everything for 50 years.
01:09:22.408 --> 01:09:24.702
Where can I find the White Man?
01:09:28.789 --> 01:09:30.583
You'll die.
01:09:32.626 --> 01:09:36.755
Everyone who's asked that has died.
01:09:39.300 --> 01:09:42.344
I have to see him.
01:09:52.021 --> 01:09:53.606
Follow me.
01:14:02.938 --> 01:14:05.274
You're on your own now.
01:14:06.942 --> 01:14:08.569
Thank you.
01:14:09.736 --> 01:14:12.239
But if you come back,
01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:16.326
you'll be my customer in return, right?
01:14:17.161 --> 01:14:18.662
All right.
01:14:19.705 --> 01:14:24.793
Maiku, your star is a powerful one.
01:14:24.793 --> 01:14:28.589
You got that from your father.
01:15:12.216 --> 01:15:14.092
Where's the White Man?
01:15:18.722 --> 01:15:22.059
Boss's been expecting you.
I'll show you in.
01:15:22.392 --> 01:15:23.852
Follow me.
01:17:22.888 --> 01:17:25.599
Here he is.
01:17:58.924 --> 01:18:01.468
I've been expecting you, kid.
01:18:02.260 --> 01:18:04.137
So you're the White Man.
01:18:09.893 --> 01:18:11.978
How you've grown.
01:18:12.854 --> 01:18:15.315
You were just a little kid.
01:18:32.666 --> 01:18:35.168
Why didn't you escape?
01:18:38.422 --> 01:18:40.298
You'll get killed.
01:18:42.008 --> 01:18:43.969
You're the worst.
01:18:45.262 --> 01:18:47.305
Why did you kill her?
01:18:49.141 --> 01:18:52.310
It's the law of the riverfront.
01:18:54.688 --> 01:18:57.899
You kill to protect it, no matter what.
01:18:59.568 --> 01:19:02.612
She died by the rule.
01:19:04.114 --> 01:19:06.366
Why do you protect the river?
01:19:07.784 --> 01:19:10.412
For the dirty money?
01:19:11.288 --> 01:19:13.457
In order to survive.
01:19:14.499 --> 01:19:16.668
That's how I've made it.
01:19:17.419 --> 01:19:21.214
And she did all she could to survive
by clinging to the riverfront.
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:23.967
Together with her daughters!
01:19:24.718 --> 01:19:26.762
So what?
01:19:28.680 --> 01:19:32.726
Kid, staying alive is not that easy.
01:19:34.728 --> 01:19:37.022
Death has an order about it.
01:19:38.857 --> 01:19:44.529
The first to die are the spirited ones,
then the idealistic ones,
01:19:44.905 --> 01:19:47.491
and then the strong.
01:19:54.080 --> 01:20:00.045
The ones who survive are the weak,
the cowardly, and the nasty.
01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:04.049
You ever killed anyone?
01:20:11.014 --> 01:20:12.724
What's the matter, kid?
01:20:14.518 --> 01:20:16.978
Didn't you come to kill me?
01:20:18.980 --> 01:20:22.067
This is how you do it.
01:20:35.997 --> 01:20:39.751
I'll give you a chance
since we have history.
01:20:59.437 --> 01:21:03.400
We'll take turns shooting.
01:21:03.733 --> 01:21:06.820
A fifty-fifty chance of life or death.
01:21:08.905 --> 01:21:10.907
I don't like it.
01:21:12.033 --> 01:21:14.160
Don't like it a bit!
01:21:14.536 --> 01:21:17.455
Boss, don't do it.
01:21:17.664 --> 01:21:23.420
Listen. Even if I die,
don't lay a finger on this kid.
01:21:25.881 --> 01:21:27.841
If you die,
01:21:28.008 --> 01:21:32.053
then I go on killing on the riverfront.
01:21:33.305 --> 01:21:37.976
If I die, you get out of here free.
01:21:38.310 --> 01:21:42.272
Someone else will take over the river.
01:21:46.651 --> 01:21:48.278
First, a test.
01:22:14.095 --> 01:22:15.847
Shall I begin?
01:22:19.392 --> 01:22:22.729
"To be or not to be..."
01:22:35.367 --> 01:22:36.952
You're next.
01:22:45.043 --> 01:22:46.753
Whenever you're ready.
01:22:58.765 --> 01:22:59.891
Shoot.
01:23:08.233 --> 01:23:11.152
Seems our luck's about the same.
01:23:31.089 --> 01:23:34.342
Scared?
Bet you are.
01:23:37.303 --> 01:23:38.930
Hurry up and shoot!
01:23:43.518 --> 01:23:44.728
Kid.
01:23:45.562 --> 01:23:47.397
You've got a lot of luck.
01:24:04.164 --> 01:24:05.623
Listen.
01:24:06.583 --> 01:24:09.210
As long as you're going to shoot,
01:24:09.878 --> 01:24:12.964
aim here. All right?
01:25:07.477 --> 01:25:10.355
Boss! Call a doctor!
01:25:10.355 --> 01:25:12.273
It's no use.
01:25:16.319 --> 01:25:19.531
Kid, pull the trigger.
01:25:29.749 --> 01:25:31.709
You won.
01:25:32.627 --> 01:25:35.463
You're the survivor.
That's all that matters.
01:25:36.631 --> 01:25:38.383
Don't forget.
01:25:39.425 --> 01:25:40.552
Take him away.
01:25:41.386 --> 01:25:43.263
Let me ask you one thing.
01:25:46.599 --> 01:25:48.226
Are you...
01:25:50.728 --> 01:25:52.856
Are you really my father?
01:25:57.402 --> 01:25:59.696
Is that what Lily said?
01:26:02.115 --> 01:26:03.658
Kid.
01:26:04.367 --> 01:26:07.787
Your mum is a real good woman.
01:26:11.416 --> 01:26:14.878
Get out!
Everyone get out of here.
01:26:15.336 --> 01:26:17.213
Leave me alone.
01:26:19.674 --> 01:26:20.967
Answer me.
01:26:21.509 --> 01:26:23.136
Answer me!
01:26:24.012 --> 01:26:27.098
Let go. Answer me!
01:26:44.073 --> 01:26:46.659
Set me adrift on the river.
01:28:35.768 --> 01:28:37.562
Sugimoto.
01:29:06.215 --> 01:29:07.800
Cut me loose.
01:29:44.420 --> 01:29:46.672
Drifting away...
01:29:51.094 --> 01:29:54.430
Does another hell await me?
01:31:35.781 --> 01:31:38.451
I thought you hated cake.
01:31:43.831 --> 01:31:45.333
Isn't it good?
01:31:51.130 --> 01:31:52.965
How is Kyoko?
01:31:53.299 --> 01:31:57.887
She's hard at work.
We're applying to the same university.
01:31:58.429 --> 01:32:01.557
Must be tough,
with a little sister and all.
01:32:01.933 --> 01:32:06.103
No, she's a trooper just like her mum.
She'll manage.
01:32:09.440 --> 01:32:11.901
Maiku, a visitor.
01:32:17.448 --> 01:32:19.325
Brother, this is Lily.
01:32:21.494 --> 01:32:23.412
How do you do?
01:32:23.829 --> 01:32:26.123
She's a friend of his.
01:32:26.249 --> 01:32:29.377
Akane showed Lily around Yokohama.
01:32:30.628 --> 01:32:32.547
Why did you have to do that?
01:32:34.006 --> 01:32:38.135
I've heard all about you from her.
01:32:40.054 --> 01:32:42.181
Glad to meet you.
01:32:43.307 --> 01:32:46.852
Lily's going back to Kanazawa tonight.
01:32:47.353 --> 01:32:50.064
We're going to the zoo.
01:32:50.523 --> 01:32:52.858
Maiku, won't you join us?
01:32:53.651 --> 01:32:56.779
I've fixed some lunch.
01:32:58.072 --> 01:32:59.323
Let's go.
01:32:59.323 --> 01:33:04.161
What a great idea.
A sunny Sunday at the zoo.
01:33:04.245 --> 01:33:06.122
No. I have work to do.
01:33:06.205 --> 01:33:09.125
No, you go. That's an order.
01:33:09.750 --> 01:33:11.294
Let's go.
01:33:11.419 --> 01:33:13.170
Yes, let's go.
01:33:13.254 --> 01:33:15.631
Come on. Go!
01:33:16.215 --> 01:33:18.050
No, really. I have work.
01:33:18.175 --> 01:33:21.387
Akane, don't cause trouble
for Miss Lily, okay?
01:33:22.513 --> 01:33:25.600
Miss Lily, please look after my sister.
01:33:26.309 --> 01:33:27.852
Bye!
01:34:44.595 --> 01:34:47.556
- I'll carry that.
- Thanks. It's heavy.
01:34:47.640 --> 01:34:49.141
No problem.
01:34:50.184 --> 01:34:52.228
What a great day.
01:34:54.313 --> 01:34:56.732
Really, a wonderful day.
01:34:57.066 --> 01:34:58.943
The lunch was delicious.
01:34:59.068 --> 01:35:01.445
I'll send you the photos.
01:35:03.197 --> 01:35:05.741
Please come again. Promise?
01:35:13.124 --> 01:35:15.459
TO SHINAGAWA
01:35:32.309 --> 01:35:33.769
Good-bye.
01:36:42.838 --> 01:36:44.298
Brother.
01:36:47.009 --> 01:36:49.220
Never mind.
01:37:01.565 --> 01:37:03.067
Akane.
01:37:04.902 --> 01:37:06.403
You...
01:37:06.987 --> 01:37:09.657
got a real fat ass lately.
01:37:09.740 --> 01:37:12.368
I'm kidding!
01:37:12.451 --> 01:37:16.914
Hey, Hoshino, lend me some money!
