There're too many people around.

How's Horibe?

At the hospital. Don't know yet.

He was shot in the belly.

Look.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Can you sell me that light?

You mean the police car light?

What do you want it for?

I'm thinking of robbing a bank.

Sounds great.

Take it. Go ahead. You can have it.

Good luck.

Do some work, you glue-sniffing bum.

You want 500,000 for this?

No, not this one.

The other one.

Where is it?

This one.

But it's a taxi cab!

It belongs to me.

How come?

Honest. It belongs to me.

Did you steal it?

No. It's mine.

How old are you?

Twenty.

Can't get a taxi license at twenty.

Want me to call the police?

Dented the bumper a bit,

but you can have it for 200,000.

I think this car has been stolen.

How about 50,000?

What happened at the bar?

As I said, they spilled soy on my jacket.

The waiter said he was sorry and gave...

100,000 yen for getting sauce

on the suit?

I was wearing an Armani suit and...

Armani? You must be kidding.

No, it's genuine Armani.

And?

And I needed some money for a taxi fare and...

Taxi fare?

100,000 yen for a taxi fare. To where?

Oita, on the southern isle.

That's a pile of sh*t, a**hole.

What kind of fool do you take me for?

He offered it to me.

It's called extortion.

It wasn't extortion.

Don't play games with us.

I'll throw this in as a bonus.

Can I help you?

Are you thinking of a gift?

"METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY"

You're nothing but a yakuza loan shark.

An expert at dirty tricks.

You borrow money,

and call me a yakuza loan shark?

Well, aren't you?

And you expect me to pay on time?

Your interest rate is outrageous.

Come on. Give me some more time.

You've been saying that

for months, you bastard.

We run a business.

Well, I haven't got any money.

Wanna bullet in your head?

I dare you, you two-bit punk.

Hey.

What'd 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?

So all that is junk.

What are you doing?

Salvaging junk.

What'd you mean junk?

Isn't this junk?

It's merchandise, a**hole.

Oh, no. You're the...

Bang.

Hey, police! My car's been hit.

Hey, wait. I said wait!

Stupid public servant.

I'm a hit-and-run victim.

Don't go.

Goddamn pig! Your a waste of public money!

Should've sold it for 200,000.

Make yourself useful.

8 of Hearts.

4 of Clubs.

12 of Diamonds.

10 of Hearts.

Ace of Diamonds.

Queen of Clubs.

Crunchy Chocolate.

Thank you.

Thanks for the delivery.

Why don't you keep it?

I'm sure he'll feel better that way.

Mr. Nishi was really worried about you.

Good-bye.

I can't believe it.

He paid back all his debt.

Did he rob a bank or something?

No, he wouldn't do that.

You're right. He's not you.

If I were to expand,

I'd go into the stock market.

Extort the stock market?

Shut up.

The boss is a legit businessman.

A businessman who packs a piece.

"HANDLE WITH CARE"

They're not home.

Did you ask the neighbors?

Go ask them, you fool.

More. More. A bit forward.

I said a bit more. More. More.

Dammit.

Look. What a large bell.

It makes a calming sound when you tap it.

You can't hit it now.

We will hear the sound in the evening.

Well, it's time to go home now.

Bye.

Lucky Charm

All this free time is tough.

I paint to keep my mind busy.

But I'm only an amateur.

Not easy to find inspiration.

Any news from Mr. Nishi?

No, not recently.

Sent me a whole batch

of art materials a while ago.

I feel so guilty.

With his wife sick,

he can't afford to do anything else.

To be honest, I don't think

his wife will last much longer.

But in a way, he's better off than me.

Why give them water?

Those flowers are dead.

Hey, it's no use

giving water to dead flowers.

Did you get ditched by a man,

and lose your mind?

I'll be right back.

The boss said your payment

didn't cover interest.

Hey.

Try and shoot me, punk.

Do it! Haven't got the guts to pull the trigger?

Open your mouth.

Show your face again and I'll kill you.

An Italian delicacy.

Step on it.

Move!

No, no, no. Go forward.

Why did you want to see

the snow so badly? It's freezing.

Can't be good for you.

The hand you ran over still hurts.

Do you really have to go?

Then do it around there.

Don't worry. I'll keep watch.

Just you?

How about a photo with your husband?

Ready?

Smile.

Here goes. Cheese.

A souvenir from the hotel.

Enjoy your stay.

"SNOW"

"LIGHT"

"SUICIDE"

Excuse me.

There's a guest waiting for you.

What do you want?

The boss is here.

Come with me.

Where are we going?

Just shut up and come.

You'll find out.

Sorry about your eye.

Why don't you let me keep

the money, while you're in prison.

You'll get it back with interest.

I said I'd kill you the next time.

"SUICIDE"

Kudo.

Shove it in, and close the door.

Yes, sir.

I saw the bodies of the yakuza.

Can you wait?

Just for a moment.

I could never live like that.

Thank you...

...for everything.
