Mr. Nakamura?

- No, you're Yuzo Sakai, aren't you? - You a cop?

Wait!

If you're not a cop, then listen to me.

How much are they paying you?

I know a way you can make more money than you will by killing me.

Don't you want a bigger payday?

Let's move.

You should get rid of that.

I wish I could've spoken to him a little longer,

and found out why he was holding this photo as he died.

You'd be dead before you even had time to ask him.

There was plenty of time.

This isn't the first job where money's been involved.

Unlike you, there won't necessarily be a next time for me.

Give it a rest.

Maybe it's time we went our separate ways.

- You mean that? - It's up to you.

I've never even considered it before.

Hey.

Hey.

You're one mean bastard.

She loves it.

Right?

I see you wasted no time spending that cash.

Get your ass out of bed!

I want to ask you something.

About that last job we did.

This isn't like you. Not professional at all.

It was perfect in its execution.

Don't ask, don't tell.

I'm sure you know that's the code we live by in this business.

I don't need you to tell me about the virtues of our trade.

A professional doesn't pry into background details.

I won't be dealing with you again.

Quiet, children! And go carefully!

What now?

What's going to become of us without him?

There's no going back.

All we can do is follow this lead.

That doesn't sound like it's going to pay very well.

- It's a hell of a gamble. - I don't like it.

It's like you've fallen in love with her.

Well, I am in love.

But not with her.

With money.

But, from that photo, you can't even tell what hospital she works in.

We might just find it.

What?

The object of my affection.

Draw the curtains.

Look at this.

ST. ANNA'S GENERAL HOSPITAL

You're starting to get into this.

Let me handle the ladies.

NURSES STATION

I'm here to see Yumi Asano.

Nurse Asano? There's someone here for you.

I want to talk to you about a Mr. Sakai.

I have nothing to do with him anymore.

Sakai didn't seem to think that way.

He was holding onto this photo to the very end.

He was killed.

I thought that if I could find you...

you might be able to tell us who killed him and why.

You're not a police officer, are you?

I'm a friend.

Or rather...

he helped me with my work.

He never talked about his past, though.

Please tell me what you can.

We've no time for this.

Never rush a lady.

You'll talk to me, won't you, about what you know of Sakai?

He was a police detective. I only met him two months ago.

A detective?

And?

He came when I was working a night shift,

to visit one of my patients.

- Hey! - Stop it!

It's too late to act innocent now.

I already know you've been handling guns.

I've kept it from my superiors for now.

If you keep this act up, I'll have you arrested.

What are you getting at?

I'd hate to have to do it, you know.

You dirty fucker.

You need to learn when someone's doing you a favor.

- Dear... - Wait a minute.

I can wait.

Think it over while your hip heals from that nasty golf injury.

It's time to take his temperature.

Get in.

I'm exactly the kind of detective you've heard about.

I haven't heard anything...

No need to hide it.

You can't help what you know.

I wouldn't want it getting out to anyone else, though.

Meeting someone?

No, it's not that.

I thought I might find Mr. Sakai here.

That girl's here looking for you.

Give her this and tell her to get off my back.

He's not here.

He left this for you, though.

There's no point waiting for him.

I never saw him again.

As far as he was concerned, I was nothing but a one-night stand.

This photograph seemed to be very dear to him.

I doubt that.

Looks like you read too much into this.

We're going to this bar.

Sorry about that.

He likes to look out for his friends. I hope you'll forgive him.

This way.

- What's this about? - Just drive where I tell you.

Get out.

Hands against the fence.

Now you're going to answer a few questions.

In broad daylight? Seriously?

What do you want with that woman? Tell me.

What did you want to talk to her about Sakai for?

How do you know we were talking about Sakai?

We've been watching that woman very closely.

- What for? - I'm asking the questions.

What links you with Sakai?

I tend to go all quiet when someone's pointing one of those things at me.

You think I won't shoot you?

I'm...

a friend of Sakai's.

- What did he ask you to do? - I came here...

because he mentioned some money.

I knew it. Where's the cash?

Out with it!

Look behind you.

What took you so long?

I wanted to let him tell us more about himself.

You asshole.

It was quite entertaining.

Not from where I was sitting.

Don't shoot!

Now it's our turn to ask the questions.

You're going to tell me how you're connected to Sakai.

I don't think he's ready just yet.

Why were you watching the nurse?

This is pointless. We'd better just kill him now.

- Wait. - Why should I?

I'll tell you anything. Anything you want to know!

Let the man talk.

Fucking talk, then!

Sakai stabbed us in the back.

- When? - Where? How?

I don't want to hurt you any more than I already have.

You understand, right?

Two months back...

Our friend...

got a tip-off.

Keep going.

Twenty million dollars.

That's worth almost three billion yen.

Takamura heard that some guys were selling it for half that amount.

- What if that's the money he meant? - Finish the story.

I need some water.

After you're done.

Takamura got us all together...

at his bar.

I'm making a deal with some guys who robbed a bank in Manila and fled to Japan.

We've already arranged how they'll get it to us.

Half-price or not, we'll never get all that cash together.

I have no intention of doing so.

What are you going to do?

We'll take the lot without paying a penny.

The three of us?

There are two of them and four of us.

Who's the fourth guy?

Sakai.

- Have you gone fucking insane? He's... - A detective. Exactly.

I'm against this. Sakai or not, a cop's a cop.

Besides, have you heard?

Heard what?

Him and Saeko are hooking up.

I may have been aware, but I'll turn a blind eye for the sake of this.

Then I'll put an end to it once we're done.

It'd be like working with a bomb under our asses, that's for sure.

And this bomb has its uses.

I've already spoken to him.

You fellas look pleased to see me.

Everybody's in.

All that's left is to plan it.

No booze.
