Ichi the Killer (殺し屋1)

First Avenue, Kabuki-Che

Are you sure this is all right, Mr. Fujiwara?

The Boss said so, didn't he?

He doesn't need a bodyguard in this apartment, anyway.

Shouldn't we at least stand guard in the hall?

While he's busy fucking a girl?

I didn't mean that.

You're a hitman. Just shut the fuck up till you're needed.

Hello.

Is that you, Takeshi?

You're home soon, aren't you?

You just won't go away.

I'm working now. I'll call you back.

Dad, Dad...

Tadanobu Asano

Hideo Yamamoto

Takashi Miike

Stop it. No!

No!

Cut it out.

No!

Stop it. Please.

How does that feel?

Who?

Who is it?

Ichi the Killer

Hi, Miyu Miyu?

It's me, Long.

Inoue, stop it.

Getting juiced up, just to blow some fucker away.

Ichi's taking care of everything tonight.

All we ever do is mop up after him these days.

I got it!

I told you to stop!

What are you doing?

If I can't shoot up, you can't talk on the damn phone.

Let's go.

He did it again. Disgusting as ever.

What's this guy Ichi like, anyway?

Let's get started.

What the hell happened here?

You were the Boss' bodyguard last night!

Kaneko was, too.

Don't try to put the blame on others!

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Kaneko, you have any idea where the Boss is?

Oh, Sir! Welcome!

Has Anjo really disappeared?

And how much money is missing?

About three million yen.

Then... I guess Anjo took the money, and ran off with the girl.

Sir, the Boss would never do such a thing. Never.

All that time in jail... must've softened his brain.

A guy grows old, gets obsessed with some broad,

can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground.

Another gang could be behind it, sir.

A lot of them could bear a grudge.

Is wasn't Anjo making enemies. It was you.

The Boss is definitely still alive.

Please excuse us.

Don't you have a girlfriend?

No. It gets lonely, you know.

Why don't you get a pet?

I used to have one. An alligator.

They were a handful, so I flushed them down the toilet.

I see.

I remember I had a dog once, when I was in elementary school.

What kind?

A mongrel. He was so cute.

But the old geezer next door,

he had a German shepherd.

He was always making fun of my dog.

Dammit.

So I started praying.

I prayed for something to happen.

Welcome.

Is Karen here?

She's over there. Please follow me.

And something did.

What?

His dog died.

It died.

Oh my God!

Really?

I killed his dog.

I strangled it with a jump rope.

Kakihara.

Did you hear?

The Boss disappeared.

Oh yes, I've heard.

He took the money and ran off with some fucking 17-year-old girl.

He wouldn't run off with anyone except you.

One of the gangs must've snatched him and the money.

You mean he's killed already.

What are you going to do, then?

You gave your whole life to him.

He's not dead. I'm going to find him.

Yes, Yes. You'll find him...

but I think he's already six feet under by now.

Don't make me mad, Karen.

He's alive. I'm 120% sure of that.

He's waiting for me to come and find him.

Yeah, but...

You're the Boss' woman.

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm sorry.

Today's my birthday.

Your birthday? It's your birthday?

Today's your birthday?

Then this is your present.

I thought I told you to quit.

They were kicked out of the syndicate.

Where else can they make a living, but in Shinjuku?

They do all the dirtiest.

Murder, arson, smuggling, and rape.

Long time no see.

So you're back in Shinjuku, huh?

There's nowhere else we can make a living.

Did you hear what happened over at your place?

A little bit.

Get in touch if you hear anything. I can pay.

Yes, sir.

Do it quick. Die.

I'm sorry.

I can't hear you.

Hurry up and die. Hurry up and die.

I'm sorry.

No use apologizing.

Stop crying!

You can apologize all you want,

it's not gonna make a difference to me.

You stupid son of a bitch.

Don't tell me you still haven't found him.

Give it to me.

I want you to turn Shinjuku upside-down.

Don't show your face unless you've found the Boss.

It doesn't look too good, does it?

That doesn't mean I don't think it's hopeless, of course...

I'll find him! Please leave it to me!

I'll get it.

It's nothing more than rumors,

I don't know how true it is.

The Funakis are Sanko Syndicate members, just like us.

And their offices are right here in this building.

Exactly. Got their eyes on anyone coming in or out.

They probably staked out your Boss.

What the hell for?

Kakihara, three years ago you cut Funaki Suzuki's Gang

out of a video porn racket.

Rumor has it he hasn't forgotten about that.

So Suzuki's behind all this?

It's just a rumor.

Suzuki's been bad-mouthing you.

He's spreading some pretty ridiculous stories.

Said you and Anjo have the hots for each other.

What the hell are you talking about?

Takayama, bring him here.

Bring who here?

Suzuki.

But...

Are you afraid of him?

That's not the problem.

We just don't have any proof.

Proof? When did you start worrying about proof?

If we're wrong, we'll give the Funakis the old guy's dead body.

Get going, Takayama!

I got it.

Hey Jijii , go get us some shrimp.

Shrimp?

Kakihara?

Tempura?

What the hell's going on here?

Kakihara! What the fuck is this?

You look great, Mr. Suzuki!

Where's the Boss?

The Boss? You mean Anjo?

He and that girl took off with your money, didn't he?

What did you say?

Wait! Stop, dammit!

You're doing this because you think I took Boss Anjo?

I know you're pissed off over the video deal.

You've been bad-mouthing me everywhere.

No, I haven't.

Yes, you have. Hasn't he, old man?

Who the fuck are you?

You're saying you didn't dub those videos?

So you are doing stuff behind my back.

Okay. It's true about the videos, I'll admit that.

But I don't know anything about your Boss.

You've gotta believe me!

I'll ask you again. Where is the Boss?

I don't know. I've got no idea.

Boss, that's too...

Hey, wait!

How did he get the camera and mike in there?

I put it there.

You did?

Jijii asked me to before the gang kicked me out.

You knew Kakihara then?

He didn't know. I went under the knife afterwards.
