No, not this one.

The other one.

What other one?

This one.

But it's a taxi cab!

It's mine.

How come?

- It belongs to me.

- You didn't steal it?

No, it's mine.

- How old are you?

- 20.

You can't get a cab license at 20!

I'll call the cops!

The fender's a bit dented,

but you can have it for 200,000.

This car is hot.

How about 50,000?

What happened at the bar?

Like I said, the waiter apologized

for spilling soy sauce on myjacket.

And gave you 100,000 yen!

It was an Armani suit and...

Armani? You're kidding!

Genuine Armani.

And?

And I needed

some money for the taxi and...

For the taxi?

Oita, on the southern isle.

Don't bullshit me.

Do you take us for fools?

- He offered it to me.

- That's extortion!

Not at all.

Cut the crap!

I'll throw this in, too.

Hi!

Can I help you?

METROPOLITAN POLICE

You're just a yakuza loan shark!

An expert at dirty tricks.

You borrow money off me

and call me a loan shark!

Well, aren't you? You don't

respect the terms of the contract.

Your interest rate's outrageous.

You can wait a while!

You've been saying that

for months, you bastard!

We're running a business!

You can't get blood from a stone.

Want a bullet in your head?

I dare you, you two-bit punk!

Hey!

What do you want, boy?

Good luck with the bank robbery.

Miss...

I found it there. How much?

You can have it. It's junk.

Junk, huh? ls the rest junk, too?

- What are you doing?

- Salvaging junk.

What do you mean "junk"?

Isn't this junk?

It's merchandise, a**hole!

Hey, I recognize you!

Hey! I've been hit!

Hey, wait!

Stupid cop, wait!

I'm a hit-and-run victim!

You waste of public money!

I should've sold it for 200,000.

Wake up!

Queen of diamonds.

Ace of diamonds.

Queen of clubs.

Crunchy chocolate!

Goodbye.

Thank you very much.

Why don't you keep it?

I'm sure he wants you to.

Mr Nishi was really worried

about you.

Goodbye.

I can't believe it!

He paid back all his debts!

Did he rob a bank?

No, he wouldn't do that!

Right. He's not like you!

To make a fortune,

I'd play the stock market.

- Extort companies?

- Don't use that word!

The boss is a legit businessman.

A businessman packing a piece!

HANDLE WITH CARE

Nobody home.

Did you ask the neighbors?

Go ask them, you fool!

More! A bit more!

More, I said!

Look.

What a big bell!

Look at the size of it!

It goes "gong" when you hit it.

You can't hit it now.

But you'll hear it this evening.

Well, it's time to go home now.

LUCKY CHARM:

All this free time is tough.

I paint pictures to kill time,

but I'm only an amateur.

I can't find anything to paint.

Hasn't Mr Nishi been in touch?

Not recently.

But he sent me

some art materials a while ago.

I didn't know what to say.

With his wife sick,

he must be very busy.

To be honest...

I don't think

his wife has long to live.

But in a way,

he's better off than me.

What are you giving them water for?

Those flowers are dead.

Hey, it's no use

watering dead flowers!

Did you get ditched by a guy

and lose your mind?

I'll be right back.

Boss says you forgot the interest.

Hey!

Go on, shoot me, punk.

Go on.

Open your mouth.

Next time, I'll kill you.

There! ltalian-style cooking.

Step on it!

Go on!

No. Forward!

Forward!

Why did you want to see the snow?

It's freezing cold.

You're going to catch a cold.

My hand hurts.

Can't you hold it?

Go over there.

Don't worry. I'll keep watch.

Just you?

Don't you want one

with your husband?

Ready?

Smile.

Cheese!

A souvenir for you.

Enjoy your stay.

SNOW:

LIGH:

SUICIDE:

Excuse me.

There's someone to see you.

What do you want?

The boss is here. Come with me.

- Where are we going?

- You'll find out.

Come with me.

Sorry about your eye.

How much money do you have left?

Why don't you hand the rest over

to us?

After prison

you'll get it back with interest.

I warned you.

SUICIDE:

Shove him in and close the door.

I saw them...

the yakuza corpses...

Can you wait a moment?

Just a moment.

I could never live like that.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.
