The Beast to Die (野獣死すべし)

Wait!

Wait!

What did I tell you, Hitomi?

You can't climb over the barrier,

don't you ever listen?

- Chizuru is better. - Nice job.

You're a naughty kid.

So naughty.

Told you to bring the money here.

- Yes. - You're going on beat?

Yes, I'm about to.

- Thanks for your effort. - Don't mention it.

Finally you've appeared.

I thought you've gone missing.

What's wrong?

Are you hiding something from me?

Oh you're still here?

But we've closed now, could you leave?

My leg! It hurts!

Don't shoot.

THE BEAST TO DIE

Good morning, this is the 6 a.m. news.

Three days ago, Detective Okada of the Police Department was murdered.

The culprit snatched the detective's gun,

and killed three triad members in an underground casino.

Even though the police have teamed up thousands of investigators,

they've been searching in motels, hotels in the area,

but there's still no new clue.

The person who left his fingerprints on the detective is still at large.

The investigation hasn't been successful.

The police will expand their search area,

and they'll request the nearby counties and their police to assist.

Welcome.

Are you here to open a new account?

Yes.

You need an ATM card?

Yes.

Sure, please wait.

- Thanks. - Welcome.

Sure, thanks.

Thanks.

Please wait.

It's time, lower the iron gate.

Good job.

Good job.

Good job.

That must be Mr. Kawamura from the head office?

I guess so.

I was right.

Thanks.

The sun rises from the steep cliffs,

Sorrow creeps past below the overpass.

The place afar.

Railway barriers one after the other...

there the image of a lonely figure...

You're a wanderer.

You came from the past, surpassed the future.

Looking for the sense of homesickness that's been long gone.

In such a rush,

walking by in sorrow, as in a poem of time.

Like killing a snake with a stone.

Breaking off a reincarnation,

without the will to conquer loneliness,

more lonely than the demon.

Can you stand the long, cold winter?

You didn't believe in anything.

What you believe in is rage.

Not certain that whether you've ever denied lust,

to impeach your so-called lust.

The tiresome sorrow that you get when you don't.

Hugging and kissing someone gently, not going home.

You didn't love anything,

you're a lonely man.

The sorrow in the sunset reached the slope,

drifting there, with no purpose.

When can you go home?

But there's no home for you.

When can you go home?

But there's no home for you.

Hello, Ginza Jewelry.

Do you do out-of-shop sales?

Yes, we do.

I'd like to get a diamond ring.

Could you select a few in the millions range?

Sure.

Then,

tomorrow, Friday, at two fifty,

could I meet you at Toyo Bank's Nihonbashi branch?

If I like them, I'll pay you in cash then.

Certainly. My name is Nagatomo.

Mr. Nagatomo, right?

In order to recognise you...

how about you wearing a pair of sun glasses?

Alright.

Welcome.

Could you transfer me to Miss lshijima at the counter please?

Hold on please.

Sorry for the wait, this is lshijima of the loans department.

Pay attention to what I'm about to say.

There's a man in sun glasses and white suit in front of you,

and he's got a pistol in his front pocket.

And five bombs in his suitcase.

You'll be fine if you don't make a scene, understand?

Understand.

We just want money,

how much do you have now?

I guess around two million.

Good, call that man to the counter,

and hand him the money.

Make the announcement, "Call for Mr. Nagatomo of Ginza Jewelry."

Do it.

Got it?

Mr. Nagatomo of Ginza Jewelry, there's a call for you.

Manager, could you come here and confirm the cheque please?

There's a pistol in his front pocket.

That is a bomb!

Take cover! Leave!

Run everyone!

Call the police! Hurry!

What are you doing?

This afternoon at two fifty,

there's an attempted robbery at the Toyo Bank's

Nihonbashi branch.

After the initial investigation,

the "suspect" Mr. Nagatomo, who works at Ginza Jewelry,

is supposed to meet a client there,

and he wasn't armed with any pistol or bomb.

The police would focus on anyone who might have a grudge

with Mr. Nagatomo or the Toyo Bank,

and they'll follow up the investigation.

The Toyo Bank's Nihonbashi branch

has transactions with the nearby two department stores

and other large shops.

At the time of the incident,

it's shortly after when the cash has reached the bank,

a total of around four billion yen.

It was a very critical moment.

And now, over to the next piece of news.

The US Government's mid-term review,

the initial agreement...

I was surprised to see you outside the concert hall.

Hello.

Lately, there's a lot of audience who can't appreciate music.

- You work nearby? - No, in Nihonbashi.

It's a foreign firm called U.S. Works.

The company president wants to hear this, that's why I'm here.

This is good.

You and the company president share the same interest, that's great.

But he's over sixty!

What about you?

Oh, I've been trying to find the "Funeral March".

I'm off then, bye.

Bye.

-And... - Yes?

Will you go to the next concert at Hibiya?

I guess so.

- See you. - See you.

I've never been good at tailing people.

I don't plan to interfere in what you're doing,

but I'm here to tell you.

I'm Detective Kashiwagi of the police department.

If you want to listen to it, you can sit down.

Thanks.

Aren't you going to sit down?

Thanks.

Why did you follow me?

It's a long story.

The truth is, one of our detectives

got killed about two weeks ago.

His gun was stolen;

Four hours later,

the same gun was used to kill three yakuza members.

But we still can't find the suspect.

Around the time of the crimes,

we've been given certain information.

Height: above 180cm,

broad shoulders,

walks like the dead.

The way he walks,

has made a strong impression.

But the information has been put aside after the meeting,

I'm the only one who cares among 150 detectives.

You don't seem to be listening.

I am.

Then why are you taking this so seriously?

Because no one else is.

I'm not interested in a case which has everyone's attention.

It's just the way I am, I can't do anything about it.

What does your intuition tell you?

That's...

Hey, sorry...

I'm the organiser yet I'm late, so sorry.

Look who I've brought along.

Date? It's been a while.

It's been a while, I heard that you're no longer a foreign correspondent.

The Indian civil war pictures that you sent in

were really amazing.

You must feel terrible being kicked out from the war scene.

Right.

What do you do now?
