Hitman Page #2

You want to see my invitation?

Well, all you have to do is ask.

Now, you listen. I want to speak

to your superior right away.

- I am the superior.

- Then you understand the problem.

Jerk, here!

Ill take you in,

but you do exactly what l say.

Can you repeat that in Chinese?

And in Japanese, if you like.

Have you prepared

the bank draft, sir?

Five million dollars in a Swiss bank.

Thank you.

- Five million?

- That's just for deposit.

Attention, please. My name is Martin,

Im Mr Tsukamoto's fund manager.

If you need a translator,

use the earpiece in front of you

and tune in

to the desired language channel.

You're all aware of Mr Tsukamoto's

recent assassination.

His will states that a reward

will be offered to avenge his death.

Please turn on the computers

in front of you.

Each of you has an account at

a Swiss bank with a balance of $5m.

Please enter your four-digit private

code - your ID for your account.

Whoever completes the mission

will automatically receive the reward

into his or her account.

And for everyone's convenience,

Ive filed all the details regarding

the death in your computers.

You've all received the same

information to ensure a fair deal.

Ill repeat the terms again.

The killer and the mastermind

are worth 50 million dollars each.

If they are the same person,

then he is worth 100 million dollars.

If there's official evidence

that either one doesn't exist

or is already dead, the full reward

is for the remaining target.

Ah, the right target. The right

target will be identified by us.

We form a special committee

set up by Mr Tsukamoto.

Regarding our professional details,

all information can be accessed

on your computer.

Lastly, I want to make this clear -

we do not encourage lawbreakers.

We won't be held responsible

should you become involved

in any illegal activities -

you'll also be disqualified.

- Police!

- This is a search warrant.

Everyone please remain in your seats

and take out your identification.

You're all suspected of being

involved in international crimes.

Please cooperate,

if you don't want any trouble.

Id be more careful, if i were you.

We have two lawyers here, Officer.

What's happening here?

We're in the middle

of a legitimate business deal.

Ill have my secretary

send you a report.

Great!

Why do you have

so many discount coupons?

- I collect them.

- And why so many coins?

He collects them also, so?

- And this knife?

- What about it? It's for cooking.

- Can't he speak?

- Im his manager.

Everyone with talent needs a manager.

So what's your talent?

He's a great gymnast.

He's also good at running,

although he needs more training.

His record's

Let's go, men.

Aren't we going to arrest them?

If they want to play with fire...

- Isn't that Tsukamoto's grandson?

- Yes, he's joining the hunt.

Are family allowed take part?

Mr Tsukamoto, sir.

I don't like being interrupted

before my meal. What do you want?

Actually, I also

have an appointment - a bridge game.

And i promised my friends

l wouldn't be late.

You Chinese talk a lot.

If i were you, Id get to the point.

Your mere presence

is starting to irritate my men.

All right.

Ive gathered some new information.

If it's about my grandfather's death,

I already know everything.

Of course,

but something new has come up.

Since your grandfather

didn't want the police involved,

we had to use all our influence

to avold an autopsy.

But we had someone examine him.

And he discovered something

very interesting.

- What do you want?

- You know what i want.

Ill give you the information,

but i want something in return.

I scratch your back,

you scratch mine, right?

And the others?

You'll be first to get any news,

so long as you pay $100m each time.

Aren't you the least bit

scared of me?

I am, but Im more afraid

of living miserably. Right?

You can cash this cheque

any time of day.

I just hope

your information is worth it.

What we found in your grandfather's

body was a military banknote,

dating from the Second World War.

We still haven't decoded it,

but our computers

will fix that in no time.

- When?

- After Ive cashed this cheque.

Your meal is ready, Master Eiji.

Remove the extra setting, he's not

eating, he might ruin my appetite.

No problem,

I don't eat sashimi anyway.

In fact, I hate it.

On that night,

most of the security cameras were

destroyed by Tsukomoto's murderer.

But we do have some videos, recorded

days before the murder occurred.

They also gave us a video

recorded the night of the murder.

But although the killer is visible,

he can't be identified

as his back is to the camera.

Bill, you've seen the tape,

what do you think?

I think

he's been in the centre before.

He knew his way around and where

all the cameras were located.

So there's no doubt he'd given

the place a thorough going over.

Maybe he got hold of the blueprints.

But most of the cameras were

installed under a month ago, sir.

The blueprints wouldn't tell him

where they were.

How do we trace the killer, then?

Well, we could run his image

through the computer,

together with anyone

who has been there.

All right, get video tapes dating

back a month and start with that.

Yes, sir.

And Bill, don't let anyone

into the computer room.

They used to be bigger.

What a rip off!

What are you looking at?

You pervert!

Get lost!

Take it easy.

He was staring

right down my cleavage!

So, you like my watch?

It's a Rolex, 24 karat gold-plated

and diamond studded.

It's to commemorate the reunification

of Hong Kong with Mainland China.

- Have it!

- Ive never had a watch before.

Now, I have a Rolex.

Don't get too excited, it's a fake.

You don't expect the real thing,

do you?

Even so, in Tsim Sha Tsui,

this would cost about $800!

This is the most expensive gift

Ive ever received!

- You're a Chinaman, all right.

- What?

It's just that Mainland hitmen

charge between 40 and 50 thousand.

You get 80 thousand

with 10 thousand down payment.

But the reward was 100 million!

Im your agent, right? I have to pay

for everything, meals, transportation

and i have to pay my informers.

Don't you think your share

is just a little excessive?

I invested 5 million dollars

without even knowing you.

No-one would do that!

Or would you rather forget it?

How about we split 60-40?

- Not a chance!

- What about 70-30?

All right, 80-20

and Ill take the down payment.

First of all, I just

want to make sure you can fight.

And you must do everything

I tell you.

Then tell me what you want.

- You know what...

- Hey, you! Enough of your noise!

You've got 30 seconds.

Ill give you something

to shout about! Get lost!

You son-of-a-b*tch!

Sorry, I didn't mean to...

Sorry, lady, excuse me.

You wouldn't dare hit a woman!

Come on! Run away then!

- What?

- But she's a lady.

You don't hit ladies?

Id better look for someone else.

Wait, Norman!

What you need

is a whole new wardrobe,
