with Mr. Murata.

Taeko.

- Let's go to the planetarium.

- Now?

- Is anything wrong?

- Come on.

Wait a second.

Come on, don't worry.

I have to lock up!

- Never mind that.

- I'll lock up the shop.

Thank you for visiting

our planetarium.

We hope you enjoy

the winter night sky.

Our blue planet, Earth

was born 4.6 billion years ago.

And 4.6 billion years from now

Earth will end its life.

I remember...

This is where we had our first date.

I was kind of embarrassed

to come here.

I'd never known anybody

who loved stars.

I realised then that you were romantic...

I'd never dated a man like that.

I was kind of excited.

And very happy...

That's what I remembered.

I love you.

Are they here?

Shamoto, don't screw up!

Will you be OK?

I can't hear you!

Yes.

This is Mr. Murata.

Sit down.

Please.

Thank you all for coming to...

Enough of that.

Where's my brother?

That's all I want to hear.

What do you mean by that?

You heard him, a**hole!

Don't play games with me.

Mr. Amazon.

He came to see you with a lot of money

and now he's disappeared.

Something's not right.

Well, yes, I met him.

And?

Your asking me what happened?

I fixed him up.

- How?

- I treated him to Sushi-Katsu.

I have the receipts.

I know you're lying.

I'll see the receipts later.

And then what did you do?

Ever since then I've been with Shamoto here,

my business partner.

Isn't that right, Mr. Shamoto?

Yes. It was early last Thursday evening.

I took the money out

from the safe for him.

A cancellation fee of 4.5- Million-yen

bound in rubber bands.

He counted every note.

I haven't seen him since.

What's your full name?

It's Nobuyuki Shamoto.

Say that again!

I'm Nobuyuki Shamoto.

Shut up, idiot!

I'm asking you where he's gone!

Early last Thursday evening,

I took 4.5 million out of the safe for him...

You've already told me that!

You keep repeating it!

I think you're lying!

Don't bully him, please.

Listen, Mr. Amazon.

Do you know that my

brother didn't really trust you?

He didn't?

That comes as a bit of a shock...

I heard you tried to sell

a cheap fish for big money.

That's what everybody says.

The truth is, Mr. Yoshida wasn't prepared

to accept its value.

It's the usual mix-up.

- Where is the money?

- It's just as Shamoto here explained.

After expenses, 4.5 million

was returned to Mr. Yoshida.

That I haven't heard!

You returned 4.5 million to him!

You're a crook, you bastard!

You must be out of your mind.

Old man.

You're too old for make believe.

Let's drop this stupid fish bullshit.

It isn't bullshit.

Look at me!

I've been trading fish for years,

I'm a pro!

I know exactly how much value a fish has!

Right, Mr. Shamoto?

Yes.

Good ones are expensive.

Just like the carp market.

I'm an honest fish trader.

Right, Mr. Shamoto?

Yes.

Oh, Honey!

Don't worry.

Oh, how melodramatic.

It's not about the money!

Where has Yoshida gone?

We don't have the

answer to that question!

We're as puzzled as you are!

Please listen to us.

Why has my brother disappeared?

He was last seen

coming here with money.

You can't deny that, can you?

I certainly did take him to the

sushi bar but...

How would I know where

he went after that?

He's a grown man.

A grown man sometimes

takes off for a couple of days.

And he might even have secrets

he doesn't share with his family.

What are you driving at?

That's going too far, Skipper.

Yes, it's very offensive.

OK, I admit that it was unnecessary.

I apologize for that but...

Let me ask you a question, Skipper.

Is that okay?

Sir, I want you to look me in the eye

and answer me.

Is it true that you know nothing?

Absolutely.

I see... you really don't know anything.

He says he doesn't know.

Now what?

We're going to find him.

Anyhow...

it's no use arguing whether

he knows something or not.

Mr. Murata denies any knowledge

and that's what we've got.

I'm not condoning his careless

remark earlier

but Mr. Yoshida might be off

having fun somewhere.

We don't know, do we?

I say we should all combine our efforts

and look in places he might be.

He might just show up tonight!

We'll certainly do our utmost

to help find him with the

means available to us.

That said...

With nothing left to discuss,

we should end this meeting...

Right?

I really don't know anything.

If I hear anything, I'll call you.

We'll find him.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You scared the sh*t out of them!

It should be okay...

If things go wrong,

we'll just make them invisible.

Good-bye, Skipper.

Good-bye.

You know, Mr. Shamoto...

Shamoto.

You weren't that bad today!

I wouldn't give you an A+,

but you deserve a B-.

You can go home. Good work.

Perk up, girls!

Nothing to it! Smile!

Keep it up!

I'm coming too.

Naughty! Don't get caught.

It's fine.

Okubo, drive.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Shamoto.

Nobuyuki Shamoto?

Who are you?

You know Mr. Yoshida, don't you?

Tell me what you know about him.

Actually I hardly know him.

Do you know what kind of man

Mr. Murata is?

Are you working as his

right-hand man now?

No.

This man used to work for him, too.

He's missing now.

His wife and child are missing too.

They're supposed to have stolen

money from Murata and run off.

There are over 30 missing people

around this man, Murata.

Don't tell him we approached you.

That will be best all round.

Yes.

If he found out that the police

had spoken to you

you'd probably become another

missing person.

Come to think of it

has he already made you an accomplice?

Watch out for yourself.

Lieutenant Susumu Kawajiri

Let's go!

Kiss, kiss!

I'll cum 3 times... 4 and 5!

Okubo.

Get over here!

She wants you to watch us.

Just shut up and watch.

"Our blue planet, Earth was born

And 4.6 billion years from now

Earth will end its life.

"Our blue planet, Earth..."

Keep watching.

Watch.

Watch... watch us!

Watch!

It's almost spring time.

So you're leaving.

I wanted to see you off

on this bridge.

Keep watching.

Come on...

Come on...

- Hello.

- It's me!

Where are you! Come here right now!

You may hang up after you've

recorded the message or...

I think you're hiding something!

I'm not hiding...

What happened?

When?

Don't play dumb! You'll be sorry!

About what?

Shut up and

get your dumb ass right over here!

Hello, Taeko.

Are you OK?

- Taeko, I love you.

- What's going on?

If I don't come home, call the number

on the card in the car.

Darling?

I'm going to see Tsutsui. Drive!

Get moving, you sloth!

What are you hiding?

I'm not hiding anything.

Do you know what that car is behind us?

No, I don't.

It's a local police car! Cops!

Did you talk to them?

No, I did not.

I'll find out the truth sooner or later.

Tell the truth.

There's nothing to tell.

Do you know about Aiko and Tsutsui?

What?

Oh, you're thick...

You've got to lose the cops.

Just think about your wife

and your daughter!

Lose the cops!

Do you understand?

Yes.

We fooled you!

We've done it, bravo!
