After my partner and me,

that only leaves you.

You were texting in the car,

weren't you'?

- I was checking the Kiyomaru Site.

- Your fingers were... you were texting.

Shiraiwa... we must eliminate each

possibility

- I texted my family

- At a time like this?

Then show me.

That's an order.

Congrats on getting an 80 in math.

Mommy won't make it home tonight

Reheat the curry from last night.

What? What does it say?

Show me.

- Gimme that transmitter.

- What the hell.

I dunno what they paid you,

but you can't spend it if you're dead.

Get real. It's not me.

Search. Search all you want!

You won't find anything.

Pointing your gun at me...

is violating our mission.

A microchip?

Get me a knife.

As long as I told our location...

I'd get my 1 billion yen,

no matter who killed Kiyomaru.

I'd never be arrested,

and get paid.

That's why you kept on the job, right?

Duty is duty

There's no lying in that.

I was approached long before our

transport team was assembled.

So they can mobilise the

top brass at the NPA.

Don't you have any pride

as a detective?

I do.

Kiyomaru beat a seven-year-old

girl to death.

When the doc pulled back her eyelids

from her bloated, beaten face...

it was covered in his sperm!

Lieutenant Mekari...

You're a top cop and an

admirable SF'...

fair and square as a person, too.

Is it worth risking your life

to protect Kiyomaru?

No, it ain't.

No f***ing way!

When he gets out of jail again,

he'll kill another little girl.

How do you plan to apologise to her?!

The world's full of natural-born

human waste like him.

The world's full of people

without a hint of remorse.

You of all people should know.

Let's end this.

If you don't...

a day will come when you regret...

that Kiyomaru survived.

I'll give you half my reward.

Okumura, it's funny...

When the subject of money

comes up...

everything you say sounds

like an excuse.

Fall in!

Where are you'?

Are you OK?

What do you mean?

Okumura reported in...

Said you and Shiraiwa are being

held hostage by Kiyomaru.

I knew it; he lied.

Okumura was the mole.

What's going on there?

Following Okumura's lead...

and prioritising rescuing you two...

the NPA are resorting to issuing

that Kiyomaru be gunned down.

The second condition to the

billion yen:

Anyone who kills Kiyomaru

by order of the nation.

Legal execution in the line of duty

They've mobilised personnel

in Shizuoka to follow you.

Get Kiyomaru to the nearest

police station ASAP.

Too dangerous.

We won't make it in time.

They have your plates.

Mekari, what can I do?

Shall I send back up?

No...

I'm fine. Bye for now.

Why didn't you ask him

where he was?

I can't have any more of my men...

killed!

Think of your sick child.

All the cash in the world

can't cure him.

As Ninagawa ordered me,

I assigned Mekari and single mother

Shiraiwa to this mission.

I figured my involvement ended there.

- No more...

- We can't go back now.

If the public learn we sold

our souls...

you're going down, too.

They'll think we're going by train.

How can we get to Tokyo?

Public transport and rental cars

are out. They know our faces.

We need an ordinary car.

Yuya, where's my phone?

- F***ed if I know.

- F***ed if you know?

- Where is it? At our place?

- Not there. - You're so sloppy

Somebody's here.

Look. Over there.

Kiyomaru!

What are you doing?

What were you gonna do?

I'm gonna get killed anyhow.

No one will kill you.

It's no use.

It's gonna happen.

Let me have one more prank.

Just do your job and protect me...

but stay out of my way

- Top brass think we're his hostages,

right? - Seems so.

The police have been ordered

to shoot to kill.

So I've got the right to

kill him, then.

Too bad, but you won't be

shooting him.

If you shoot him...

you'll get 1 billion yen.

Your pride won't let that slide.

Ninagawa miscalculated.

Without the bounty

I'd have shot him.

I have a request...

If either one of you...

kills me and gets the billion,

could you take a tiny bit...

and give it...

to my poor old mom?

What?

My mom raised me all on her own.

But I've never...

done anything good to

show her my love.

At the very least...

I'll trade my life.

To help her in later life...

could you give her some money?

Please.

Wanna ride?

Get in.

- You know who he is, right?

- Yeah, he's famous.

- Then why let us in?

- Because I'm a cabbie...

And I got no customers today

Every inch is packed with police.

They're gonna kill him.

He was on the news all day

Talk of his transport.

I've had it up to here with news,

news about folks trying to kill him...

The knife man and the young

hostage at Shin-Kobe.

He was a company president

being hunted by debtors.

I guess he wanted to leave money

behind for his family

While nursing his sick mother,

he never complained and worked hard.

That lock-up cop's wife was terminal.

The nurse's husband got downsized.

The SWAT guys were gamblers,

so I guess they had it coming.

All of them had money problems.

All willing to be arrested, but hoping

to leave the money to their families.

Fat cat Ninagawa's money game

was a ruse to feed on poor people.

I dunno how much money he has, but...

he can't believe he can buy anybody

My cab fare ain't for fee, ya know?

I got it.

How about this?

Good day Shizuoka Police.

- Haven't you caught Kiyomaru yet?

- Not yet, ma'am.

All clear. Go ahead.

Just like you said:

they don't bother checking cabs.

Better to go via Yamanashi instead of

Kanagawa. Fewer road blocks.

Three hours to go.

We can still make it.

We interrupt the music to

bring you this news update...

Last night, a woman was found dead

in her apartment in Kushiro, Hokkaido.

The woman was the mother of the

fugitive Kunihide Kiyomaru,

Taeko Kiyomaru, age 58.

Judging from a note

discovered at the scene,

suicide is highly likely

The note read:

"Kunihide, in exchange for my life,

do me a favour.

Don't do anything bad no more.

Don't hurl others no more.

Please, I beg you.

"Mommy is waiting for you

in heaven.

Please let me out.

Stop.

I need to get out... Please.

- How about it, Mekari?

- Let me out.

Let's rest.

I wanna check the Kiyomaru Site.

Hello?

Mekari? The SP, right?

speaking.

Ninagawa here.

I'll give you two billion.

Make that three billion.

You're going about this all wrong.

And and all ways are awed.

Cops are dead.

Kiyomaru's mother killed herself.

You got nothing to say?

I'm sorry for your loss.

Don't say it like you don't know.

It's your fault.

Why all the collateral damage?

Save your breath.

I want Kiyomaru dead.

It's that simple.

If you want the driver who

killed your wife...

I'm your man.

You're...

crazy

Are we so different?

We're the same.

We both had someone precious

killed by irrational means...

by someone who doesn't

deserve to live.

Ninagawa!

No more innocent lives.

If you want him dead,

kill him yourself.

I don't approve...

of you using others.
