TOWA OIL COMPANY
It's not even cold season. What's with you?
Hey, did you hear?
There was a big bank heist this morning.
Looks like they got away with 100 million yen.
- Hope they get away with it. - Yeah, me too.
Get real. They're gonna get caught right away.
That's why crime doesn't pay.
Still, hope he makes it.
Yeah, but they'll get him for sure.
Only works if you can avoid exposure.
Like this company.
Do you know what the big shots upstairs are doing?
Things like cheating our subsidiaries to get more profit,
Funneling money through ghost companies to get interest earnings.
Yeah. The main players are Koizumi, the head of Accounting,
and that guy Kaneko over there,
that other big wig, Takashima,
and the head of Auditing, Mizuhara.
They're a bunch of wheeler-dealers. Can't be helped.
Plus, the President's in with them, too.
If there's no getting caught, you can really do anything.
Doesn't it piss you off, Asakura?
Of course it does.
But getting mad won't change things.
Just suck it up and move on, right?
Yeah, we should just focus on getting promoted to the next level.
Yeah. That's what's important.
Easy for you to say. You're first in line for a promotion.
No way. I'm a night school grad,
and just got in here by the skin of my teeth.
- Yeah, I heard you almost didn't get in. - Oh, really?
OK, everybody. I need your attention, please.
This is an important announcement.
This is Mr. Hyogo from Kyoritsu Bank.
I'm sorry to disturb you.
I think you've probably heard it on the news,
but one of the cash transporters at our bank was attacked this morning,
and 100 million yen was stolen.
I need your cooperation.
This cloud actually has a silver lining.
All the serial numbers on the stolen bills
were on record at our head office.
The numbers are listed here on this sheet.
- I'll pass them out. - Oh, thank you.
So we are asking everyone for their cooperation:
If you spot any bills with these numbers,
please notify us immediately.
What's this thing in the way here?
- Apples. From my hometown. - It's always something with you.
- Would you like one? - No thanks.
Let's go.
Please make way.
- Wow, isn't she something? - Do you know her?
That's the President's daughter, Erika.
- Oh, she's beautiful. - Get back here.
Some lucky bastard's gonna marry her and get on the fast track to the top.
You guys have no chance. Looks like I'm the only candidate here.
That's really too bad.
What a disappointment.
If you just lost twenty more kilos,
you'd be the middle-weight champion for sure.
Are you really a hemophiliac?
Yeah. When I get a nose bleed, it won't stop.
I guess sometimes life's a bitch, huh?
- Good evening. - Are you just getting home now?
...was endorsed by both the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Finance.
And now, an update on the 100 million yen bank heist.
At just past 8:00 a.m. today, in Tokyo's Marunouohi district,
there was a 100 million yen murder-theft at the Kyoritsu Bank.
A special task force has been set up to investigate this incident,
and law enforcement is on a manhunt to find the culprits,
but they still have no reliable leads,
and there is still no suspect in the case.
Uncovered at the crime scene was...
...a bullet from a .22 caliber weapon,
which the thief used to kill the cash transporter,
then used a knife to open the case containing 100 million yen,
and removed the cash, leaving the case behind.
Investigators are fairly confident that whoever did this
was highly skilled at using a firearm,
and is likely to repeat the same type of crime in the future.
They have therefore made this crime investigation top priority.
Further, the scale and degree of planning involved indicates
that the responsible party may be a group, not an individual.
Investigators are looking into possible links to known crime rings.
The murder victim, Kyoritsu Bank employee Koiohi Hare, age 45,
had been with the bank for 20 years.
He was well-trained in both judo and kendo,
so investigators speculate that the culprit was a skilled fighter himself.
Where do you think you're going?
You can't pass through here.
Don't come any closer!
Cool it. You're part of the Kaijun Gang right?
Yeah.
Where do you get your drugs?
I don't know the place.
Who's the supplier?
Who's the supplier?!
Who's the supplier?
I don't know the details.
If you go to Club Domingo and sit at the bar,
someone will come over and help you.
Hey, you.
Sorry, but you'll have to come with me.
Wanna play tough guy with me, too?
Stand up.
Here he is.
- Hmm. This is the guy? - Yeah.
You, pat him down.
This is it.
That's all? This doesn't tell us anything.
Who the hell are you, anyway?
I want to get some drugs.
Drugs? Get real. We don't deal in that.
I thought I asked you who the hell you are.
I forget.
OK, maybe you should jog his memory.
For starters, let's see if you can remember your name.
Hey, that's a nice watch.
Move!
You fucking prick!
Come out! Show yourself, you fucker!
Don't move.
Come here.
Where are you going? Come here.
Don't shoot! Don't shoot.
Like I said before,
I want drugs.
This isn't that kind of business.
- There isn't any here. - Don't bullshit me.
I mean your underground business.
You wanna die?
- Wait. The one who sells us drugs is... - Is who?
City Assemblyman lsokawa.
- Assemblyman lsokawa? - Yeah.
He's very influential.
Even heads the Public Safety Committee.
He's too powerful to get to. You can't get to him either.
- Where does he live? - Right near the Tsukano Park.
A huge mansion. You can't miss it.
- Don't shoot. Don't shoot. - OK.
Just tell me, who the hell are you?
What are you trying to do?
- Really wanna know? - I do.
Tell me.
- Tell me. - Did you read the evening paper?
Yeah, I read it.
Then you should be familiar with this.
You read the article about the big murder/bank heist, right?
That was you?
Yeah, I did it.
- I'm the one with the 100 million yen. -100 million.
Trouble is...
all the serial numbers are on record at the bank.
So I can't even use the money.
Wait a minute...
Well, I've considered everything carefully.
And I've decided the safest thing to do is convert the money into heroin.
Wait a minute. If you tell me everything,
- you'll have to kill me. - That's right.
In other words, I don't really care about the drugs.
I want the money!
If you guys had just played nice, it wouldn't have had to end like this.
- Don't shoot! Please, don't kill me! - No way. No way.
- Please! - Got a family?
Yes! A lot of kids!
- They'll be happier when you're dead. - No, they won't!
Kyoko.
There's an Executive Officers meeting, so I have to return to the office.
I'll come again tomorrow.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Head towards Seijo.
Try some.
It's called mao tai.
It's a Chinese aperitif.
Cheers.
I'm Hajime Hotta.
I'm in stocks. What about you?
I'm Kyoko Nagai.
- Mr. Hotta? - Yes?
This is only dinner, nothing more.
Let's not go into any detail beyond names.
It'll be better for both of us.
You're right. Agreed.
Excuse me a moment.
Have some of this, it's really good.
It's fairly rare, as well.
This part is the best.
Here.
It's a unique taste, isn't it?
Oh yeah, and this one, too. It's really good.
This one is snake eggs, stewed with cow and pig penis.
It's really quite tasty.
You put a little miso on it, like this.
Here you go.
Oh, no. I don't...
What's wrong?
I'm sorry.
- Are you OK? - I'm not myself.
You gonna be all right?
I feel so strange.
Welcome.
- Park the car, will you? - Yes, of course.
I've never felt this way before.
I just want to be with you, always.
Me too.
You'll find out anyway, so I might as well just tell you.
I'm somebody's mistress.
It's just for the money.
- Are you mad? - Not really.
When can I see you again?
Soon. I'll call you.
I'm a bad girl.
No, just adorable.
Do you have any more of those cigarettes?
Why?
They're laced with something, aren't they?
What is it?
You want some?
It's this.
If you put some of this powder into a cigarette, it makes you feel great.
Got any cigarettes?
- It's not drugs, right? - Of course not.
It's a legal pharmaceutical.
A friend of mine from college...
...is a physics professor now.
I get it from him. Here.
Good. It's safe, then.
I'll leave this with you.
Just be careful.
Don't take another one for three hours.
How is it?
- Oh, no! - Don't panic.
It's him, isn't it?
Get rid of this glass.
- I'll call you later. - Wait. Don't leave.
Just come over here.
Coming!
Come in.
Kyoko!
I was so worried. Where were you?
Where-- hey, what's that smell?
There's a strange smell over here.
I've got it. You were with a man, weren't you?
While I was worrying about you, you were off with some young guy!
Well, admit it!
If you don"t, I'll strangle you.
What, you'll kill me?
You can't even "kill" me to my satisfaction in bed.
You brought some guy here, didn't you?
Maybe he's still hiding in here somewhere.
You've got some nerve, bringing him here.
I'm gonna find him.
You filthy alley cat! Show yourself!
I'm not having an affair.
I belong only to you.
- Fine. If you don't trust me, I'll leave. - Kyoko.
Please don't say that. I was wrong. I apologize.
I would give up everything for you-- my job, my family, everything,
and never look back. It's true, Kyoko.
I called a little while ago. I'm Senkawa, from the Central Times.
lSOKAWA
- Oh, it's Chopin's Nocturne. - Why yes, you have a good ear.
Your guest has arrived.
Mercedes, BMW, Bentley-- you sure have great taste in cars.
Listen, punk. You're here pretending to be some newspaper reporter,
but what do you really want from me?
I see you're as sharp as they say you are.
OK, than I'll come straight to the point.
I want to purchase a large volume of drugs.
If the price is right, of course.
What do you mean, "drugs"?
Don't play dumb with me.
I mean drugs. I'm talking about heroin.
Go home, punk. I won't hold it against you.
Not until we're done talking business.
You insolent piece of shit.
Turn around and look behind you.
Slowly, now.
What an idiot. Kill him.
You sure about that?
What?
Your thugs are intimidating in size,
but apparently don't know anything about guns.
For example,
If they shoot from that distance, the bullet would go right through me,
and hit you.
Plus, the bullet would pass through me without bursting,
so I might still live.
On the other hand, the bullet would burst violently after hitting you,
killing you instantly.
I've had enough of your ridiculous stories.
That would never happen.
You really haven't a clue.
A bullet will naturally seek out the path of least resistance to pass through.
If I just move ever so slightly,
the bullet may very well go straight to your heart.
Still want to try it?
Go ahead, shoot.
Shoot already.
Why, you--
Nobody move.
Put the guns down.
Put the guns down!
Take out the bullets!
Do as he says.
Good. Now empty the reserve cartridge.
Put them down in front of you.
Horizontally.
Hey, Beethoven!
Keep playing-
OK.
Now then.
Can we talk business?
Show me the money, then we'll talk.
Can't. Didn't bring it with me.
Then we're done for today. Come back with the money, then we'll talk.
- It's 100 million yen. - What?
- 100 million yen. - How much did you say?
I can't just go carrying it around with me.
You've dealt with this before, right?
That's right.
What price point are you looking for?
60,000 yen per gram.
No way.
Plenty of people will pay 100,000 per gram.
75,000. I won't go higher than that.
- That's acceptable. - OK, then.
I'll name the time and place.
Meanwhile, you prepare the goods and wait for me to contact you.
The meeting time is three hours from now.
Be punctual.
Shit.
We'll use the usual signal.
He's gonna be a tough one.
Yo.
It's all there. You can check it.
It's all here.
OK. Now it's your turn.
- What's this? - Don't move.
You need a light?
Maybe you need a better signal to call your goons.
Or maybe they're all taking a nap.
Too bad for you.
You, over here.
You two oafs, too.
You're a real snake, lsokawa.
Put your hands on your heads.
But it's all premium grade, top-notch product!
I believe you.
You can take the money.
I just don't want to die. Please don't shoot.
I'll pay as agreed.
Live long and prosper.
- Good morning. - Oh, morning.
I'm sorry I was not here yesterday.
- You OK now? - Yes, thank you.
Hello. This is Towa Oil, Accounting Department.
- I'd like to speak to Mr. Kaneko. - May I ask who's calling?
- The name's Maki. - One moment, please.
- Boss. - Yeah?
A woman by the name of Maki.
Carry on.
What is it, so early in the day?
What?
What the hell is this?
So you were planning this all along.
Well, I'm not talking to that low-life.
OK. 12:30. On the roof of the Tokyu department store.
How will I know him?
I'm feeling feverish, so I'm going to the doctor. Can you take over for me?
Mr. Kaneko.
What's your name?
- Call me Sakurai. - Are you her pimp?
So what is it you want money for?
Oh, shit.
- So you guys were in on it together. - They're good photos, don't you think?
- There's an audio tape, too. - A tape?
OK. Take this.
It's a million yen. Now hand over the negatives and the tape.
It seems you misunderstand.
You see, Mr. Komei Suzumoto is very fond of me.
What? Who?
Komei Suzumoto.
You mean from Towa Economic Research Foundation?
Yes, that's right.
It seems you and the other accounting heads have pilfered
from the general funds.
I've seen the bank books, and took photos.
You guys are real low-lifes, stealing from your own company like that.
If Suzumoto heard of this, he'd jump on you so fast your head would spin.
So you mean he doesn't know about it yet?
I haven't told him.
Oh, thank you.
- I'm sorry about before. - Not at all.
Just as long as you understand.
So how much do I need to pay for the negatives and the tape?
- 50 million yen. - 50 million?
- How can I get that much money? - For you, it should be simple.
Can you wait till tomorrow? I'll definitely have an answer tomorrow.
OK, then. I'll call you.
Shit. He's really got me.
Anyway, follow him.
Or just finish him off.
It'll cost you.
Mitsuhiko, wait.
Mitsuhiko.
Hey there, Uncle. You look busy as usual.
And you look well.
While outward appearances suggest you are semi-retired
Komei Suzumoto is alive and well.
Even now, any discussion about corporate takeovers...
seems to bring up the name of Komei Suzumoto.
Which company have you set your sights on this time?
So how about it, Mitsuhiko?
Are you ever going to come learn the business from me?
- Some day. - Let's go for lunch.
I'd love to, but I have to leave by the back door today.
The back door?
- What are you up to? - Nice seeing you. Gotta run.
OK, just take your time at the doctor's office.
The bosses are out anyway.
We're just slacking off here too.
Where are the bosses?
An emergency executive meeting. All the big shots are gone.
An emergency executive meeting.
No one's allowed in during the meeting.
Oh, I see. Then maybe this one.
I think we can wait for his reaction, then decide.
Even if Sakurai has ties to Suzumoto,
that doesn't guarantee that Suzumoto will take action against us.
I agree with that assessment.
Also, if we give in to Suzumoto's threats,
there'll be no end to it. We'll be eaten alive.
Yeah, but he's got photos
of our bank transactions.
Stop dwelling on what's done already.
Let's focus on getting out of this predicament.
Hold on.
Arguing won't help.
Mr. President, it seems you think you're not personally at risk here.
If Suzumoto is so inclined,
he will expose us all, including you, for misappropriation of funds.
That's right.
It's lshii. He went inside, but still hasn't come out.
Damn.
OK, go stake out the girl's place. I'm sure he'll go there to meet her.
OK.
Her name is Yukiko Maki.
She works at Bar Luna in Ginza.
I'm counting on you.
It was lshii from the detective agency.
He lost track of Sakurai.
And the relationship between Sakurai and Suzumoto is still unclear.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Instead of paying Sakurai the 25 million yen tomorrow, as demanded,
why don't we just go after him tonight and grab the photos and negatives?
Indeed, that would be much better than bowing to Suzumoto's pressure.
Is there anyone you can trust for such a mission?
I'm thinking that Detective lshii might be the man for the job.
MICHIHIKO SAKURAI
Seems he's not home.
Sakurai works for the Economic Research Center, right?
- I don't know. - Oh, really?
No, he doesn't, but he's Suzumoto's nephew.
You like him, don't you?
Where is he?
He's got another girl besides you, doesn't he?
I don't know.
Maybe this will get an answer.
Who is she?
A hostess, in a bar in Ginza.
What's her name?
Yukiko Maki.
Where does she live?
Oe Mansion, in Hiroo.
Oe Mansion. Thanks.
Don't move.
Gimme the photos and the tape. Then I'll give you the 25 million yen.
The agreement was 50 million.
- I can't accept your offer. - That's too much!
If I make you a cripple, maybe you'll change your mind.
OK, OK, OK.
I'll get them. Just give me a minute.
Just a minute.
Put down the knife!
Or I'll slit her throat.
Go right ahead. Do it.
Whether she lives or dies is of no concern to me.
Go ahead.
Please, help me!
Why should I help you? Don't you think I know a set up when I see one?
You little shit!
Get out!
Yukiko. Yukiko.
You didn't mean it, right? Please say you didn't mean it.
Of course I didn't mean it.
- Oh, that's a relief. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I had to do that.
I have a favor to ask you.
Your sugar daddy's the head of accounting at Towa Oil, right?
Yeah. So?
Seems the accounting department's been caught embezzling funds,
and now the company's being threatened with a hostile takeover.
And?
I told you I'm involved in stocks, right?
Management foibles always affect the stock price.
I want you to discreetly inquire about how much money they've stolen in all.
And if I do that, you'll be able to make a profit on those stocks?
Maybe a little.
He found out about our secret powder.
And?
He asked to try it.
I couldn't just say no, so I let him try it.
He seemed to really like it.
But I'm running low.
If I had some more,
I think it will be easy to get information out of Koizumi.
OK.
I'll bring it tomorrow.
200 million?
Serves you right.
You pissed me off.
Hold on a minute. We seem to be going around in circles here.
If you think we tried to threaten you to get out of paying, you're mistaken.
So are you saying that I'm making it up?
No, of course not.
How about if we pay you the original 50 million, right now?
Do we have an understanding?
Request denied.
An eye for an eye.
I won't accept anything below 200 million.
Sakurai claimed to be from the Economic Research Center,
but after searching his background, it seems he is not affiliated with it at all.
Based on that discovery, they've decided to break off negotiations.
And than what?
They're gonna kill him.
They've hired a hit on him.
Some guy named lshii, a detective,
has arranged for two thugs from Kobe to come do the job.
It's so frightening.
This grudge runs deep, asshole.
Get down!
Leave me here. Just save yourself.
Run!
Just wait here.
Motherfucker! You shot me!
Oh, shit!
No! Stop it!
He said the detective and the two thugs from Kobe
succeeded in luring Sakurai to the murder scene.
They were able to use his girlfriend, a bar hostess.
Both of them were killed at the quarry.
It's all so scary. Would you come over?
I love you.
And not because of the powder.
I don't care who or what you are.
Just don't ever leave me.
- Kaneko. Come with me. - What is it?
Those two hit man from Kobe made a phone call to the President.
Yeah? About what?
What do you think? About us!
It seems that lshii is working both sides.
All three of them, together?
Impossible.
Well, that "impossible" thing is happening now!
Asakura?
Hey, Asakura!
- He's away from his desk right now. - Oh, I see.
You're calling from a gym? What do you want with Asakura?
Maybe you don't know. He's been missing his training sessions.
Besides, he hasn't paid his gym fees for last month.
Well, he's outboxing our champion, and has certainly shown great talent,
so I have high hopes...
So Asakura does boxing.
Asakura.
The President wants to see you.
- Why? - Doesn't matter.
Just come with me.
See you later.
Have a seat.
I'm President Shimizu.
You're Asakura, right?
I'm sure this way of conducting a conversation is strange to you,
but please bear with me.
Your superiors tell me that your work and job dedication is exceptional.
I'm pleased to have such an exemplary employee in my company.
Now I would like to find that out for myself, by asking you directly.
Can you swear that you would risk your life for the sake of the company?
Yes, of course.
Thank you for saying so.
By the way, I heard you're into boxing.
Boxing?
Not at all.
You don't have to hide it. We've already checked it out.
They said you can't compete for prize money because you're a hemophiliac.
In reality, you're obeying...
...the company rule that prohibits taking on part time jobs, right?
Yes, that's right.
Would you consent to use your skill for the benefit of the company?
I'm not sure what you mean.
We'd like you to get rid of a certain someone.
"Get rid of"?
You mean kill someone?
- Hey, wait a minute! - Sit back down.
In return, we'll promote you to executive rank.
But...
Don't look down.
Didn't you say you'd risk your life for the sake of the company?
Well then? How about it?
Your executive-rank position is waiting for you.
I've heard you're a night-school grad,
and your situation is mediocre at best.
No matter how hard you work till your retirement,
you'll never make it past supervisor.
I'm sure you're aware of this.
But if I get caught by the police for committing murder, than what?
Don't worry about that. We've planned it all out very carefully.
Well?
OK. I'll do it.
OK then.
Sit down.
I'm glad you've accepted our proposal.
Now let's talk business.
About the promotion to an executive position,
I'd like to have something as a guarantee.
I understand.
Kaneko.
Asakura.
Please take a close look at this document.
You're in Accounting now,
so first we'll make you Procurement Manager.
Within three years, you'll be Director.
And than within five years,
to assure your ascent to Senior Vice President,
The Board of Directors
will do everything necessary to get your appointment approved.
You will notice that we have all signed it, including the President.
Thank you.
Now let's discuss the matter at hand.
Kaneko.
So, as I've said many times,
The 100 million yen you demand
will only be paid in exchange for the negatives and tape.
So you won't pay it today?
If you show us proof that you have the goods, of course we'll pay.
My buddy Fukuda was killed.
Don't forget to include a condolence gift.
Understood.
Well, your car is waiting.
I guess we're done.
Wait!
But he...
I have questions.
So...
Who the hell are you?
OK, OK. I'll talk.
I'll talk.
I'm a private investigator, like you.
You know Towa Oil, right?
They hired me.
I'm supposed to shadow him, see where he goes.
That's what they hired me for.
- Did they tell you to kill us? - No way.
I'm not a hit man.
They wanted me to get what you took from Sakurai.
Photos, negatives, tape recordings, they asked me to get all that stuff.
I see.
- So they think we have the stuff? - Shut up!
Because of your screw-up, we didn't get the stuff. Just die already!
- Thank you. - Hold on.
What did you say?
This is my good friend here.
Did you really mean to say that?
I'm sorry.
Look out!
Hello? Anybody there?
Hello? Anyone? Hello?
The President's house is in Takanawadai, isn't it?
He's been at his villa in Hayama since last night.
Oh, I see.
He asked us to come on foot from here. Hope you don't mind.
Asakura!
Sorry, but I have to kill you!
Funny thing about guns.
They don't fire unless you take off the safety.
I'm sorry!
Upstairs. Take me upstairs.
Good morning.
There was an accident.
kaneko's shoulder seems to be broken.
I'm returning this.
What's going on? What are you doing here?
You did a great job for us in knocking off those guys,
but that doesn't mean you can show up at the President's villa uninvited.
This is not what we agreed upon.
Get out. That's an order!
Yes. Please leave.
Don't be difficult.
I see.
You hoped I'd die quietly and be out of your hair,
but now I've turned up here.
Come on, that's ridiculous.
I think you're just tired.
Go home and sleep. And take a day off tomorrow.
I don't have time for that. Sit down.
Did you think I was some little punk who would just go away quietly?
Didn't you at least give it some more thought before trying to kill me?!
OK. We're sorry. We apologize.
It was Kaneko.
He kept insisting he had to kill you, so finally we relented.
- I'm sorry. - That's a lie!
- They ordered me to kill you! - What are you talking about?
You're fired!
Go ahead and fire me. I'll go straight to the police with everything.
Asakura.
I've had nothing to do with this from the beginning.
These guys have been dragging me into this...
Mr. President! How can you say that?
Yeah, you were part of everything!
You guys can duke it out later.
Meanwhile, I think I'm entitled to some compensation.
Whatever you want, just name it.
Is it money?
How about 50 million yen?
70 million?
That's a huge windfall for a salary man like you.
You could live forever just on the interest, right?
Get back in your chair.
Come on now, don't be stingy.
Here's what I want.
I want two million shares of Towa Oil stock.
Two million shares?
- But that's worth 800 million yen. - That's right.
Impossible. I myself only have three million shares.
They won't all come from you.
Everyone here should contribute their own stock.
There is no reason for us to comply with this demand.
Oh, really?
We want you to get rid of someone for us.
I recorded that when you asked me to kill for you.
And...
I have this agreement that you all signed.
What would happen if I took this to the police?
Embezzlement. Obstruction of Justice.
Document fraud.
And conspiring to murder.
I wonder how long they'd put you away for?
You would lose everything, all at once.
Are you prepared for that?
Well, what are you gonna do?!
OK, we understand.
You win.
We'll have all the shares ready tomorrow.
Good.
The cartridge is empty, so I'll give this back to you.
From now on, maybe you'll be more careful, huh?
Hey, bring this rich man some coffee, will you?
Go ahead and count it.
There are 1,000 shares of 1,000-yen stock, and 10,000 of 100-yen stock.
Well, I trust you guys, so I don't have to count it, right?
OK, so I'll see you at the Hayama villa tomorrow night.
Hey. Starting tomorrow, no moustache.
Please allow me to introduce...
...my youngest daughter, Erika.
And this is a very promising young man at the firm, Asakura.
I'm Asakura. Nice to meet you.
Let's drink to the peace and stability of Towa Oil.
Cheers!
Good evening.
Your Lamborghini, sir.
Here's my card.
- Key. - Here you go.
- Shall I explain how to... - No need.
- You can go. - But...
I said you can go. Beat it.
Asakura, right?
Please come with us.
Well, come on.
Don't move.
Don't move!
The company sent you, right?
No. We work for Mr. Suzumoto.
- Suzumoto? - He says he really wants to meet you.
I heard you took two million shares from the President and his top guys.
You heard right.
I want to do a takeover of Towa Oil.
Partly to avenge Mitsuhiko's death.
I also heard you're engaged to marry President Shimizu's daughter.
Do you really want to join that family? I don't think you'd fit in.
This isn't what you brought me all the way down here to discuss, is it?
What do you really want?
Would you sell me your two million shares?
I'll pay you three times their value.
Three times?
2.4 billion yen.
Big money.
But money's not an object.
Trade and Finance Minister Yoshimura is backing me on this.
You can refuse us and make things difficult for yourself,
or you can use this as an opportunity to make an enormous profit.
What's your decision?
Don't rush me.
I'll have that glass now.
2.4 billion.
I'll need that in US dollars, large bills.
Mr. Asakura.
Congratulations on your engagement.
Asakura.
That's your real name, isn't it?
Since you asked me to,
I learned a lot about Koizumi's company.
And somehow the name Asakura kept coming up.
This young guy in the company.
Who somehow managed to land the President's daughter.
Along the way,
I began to see similarities between this Asakura person and you.
Must be woman's intuition.
So I asked Koizumi to show me a photo of this Asakura guy.
"This is that Asakura fellow," he said.
"Any woman that got mixed up with this guy would be in big trouble."
That's what Koizumi said.
To you, I was just a tool to get what you wanted, wasn't I?
No, that's not true.
Are you really going to marry Eriko?
I don't know.
Why?
I don't care what you do.
I'm just...
...scared of losing you.
When you say it's from Turkey...
...does that mean drugs?
Top grade, with a purity of over 90%.
So you knew about me.
You're really something.
Please, give me some.
There's 1.3 kilos.
1.3 kilos? Really?
It's 100,000 yen per gram.
Altogether that's 130 million yen.
Can you pull it together?
Yes, I can. I will!
Please put it aside for me!
Make it thousand dollar bills, US currency.
Thousand dollar bills?
Yes. My friend says that's what he wants.
OK. I'll do it. I'll do it.
Good.
OK, tomorrow then, the usual place.
1.3 kilos...
Look, Kyoko!
Now I'll never have to be without it, for the rest of my life!
Where did you get it?
Asakura.
Asakura let me have it.
And you, too.
You won't have to deal with scummy street dealers.
Yes, I won't have to send you to them anymore.
Now I'm set for life!
Now I'll have no more worries!
Sir. Are you feeling ill?
Shall I bring you something to drink?
Wine.
What kind would you like?
That Chablis.
From 2001.
The one my friend Napoleon got for me.
Hey. What time are we landing on Jupiter?
What time are we landing on Jupiter?
