Mr. Sugita.

Mr. Futami is calling you.

He really wants you to come over.

- Where? - Over there.

Nasty way to die.

- Why can't they be cool? - What?

Say that again.

Why can't they be cool?

OK, smart-ass.

Hey, mister!

Thank you, mister.

Watch out!

Oh? Here it comes.

- Are you all right, little boy? - Hey!

You almost hit the boy. What's the matter with you?

- You jerk! - Teko...

- Let him go. - But this idiot...

Are you OK? You have to be careful.

- That's nothing! - Oh, you're tough.

Do I have to punch you again?

- You understand? - Hey.

Go away, already.

You are nicer than I thought, Jiro.

He's here again, isn't he?

That cop from Kobe is stubborn.

He can't help it. That's his job.

What fun!

I'm surprised this charm hasn't cursed you for your ways.

That's right. You're a half-breed. So, it's a joke?

This is from my mother...

It has miraculous powers.

Another one hurt?

- Sugitaya has passed away. - Sugitaya?

- Jiro, did you... - He did it!

Home run.

Oh, just a baseball game.

Well... It was an accident.

Right in front of you? Bullshit.

Oh, well, I will catch you sooner or later.

Wait.

Isn't that the wrong way?

Would you leave anything at the scene?

I have to see the Tokyo cops off.

Oh, are they leaving?

They finally gave up.

You are so rude to them.

They came a long way to get you, but...

I feel sorry for them.

Kobe...

Kobe...

Passengers en route to Tokyo...

Hi, everybody.

- Why are you here? - I'm seeing the Tokyo guys off.

I'm paying my respects for their long trip.

If you want to show respect, come back with us.

No, thanks. This pier's starting to grow on me.

Of course you won't go back. You're trying to escape the appeal.

You dump on people.

You won't be popular in Tokyo.

What's the number, then? Five?

Assault, extortion, possession of illegal weapons...

- Everything except murder. - He's old-fashioned.

Don't get too comfortable. The cops aren't blind.

Talk to me when you have proof.

Anyway, nice work. See ya.

- Wait, wait. - What is it?

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm a Kobe cop.

So you're still on the case?

Take it easy. You won't last long. Let's go.

Bye.

So you're saying you mishandled the crane.

It was a rush job and we were pushing hard...

And I was really tired.

You killed a man!

- I was... - Hey, how much did you get for that?

- Really? Great... - Don't be a wise-ass!

We figured it all out.

It's the Matsuyama gang, isn't it?

I... I don't know what you are talking about.

- Did he talk? - No, no.

Trying to be a real man and taking the blame all by himself.

It's obviously Futami, don't you think?

The question is, why would

the Matsuyamas kill Sugitaya?

If we can pin anything on him and make an arrest, he'll talk.

My God, it's hot!

Sorry about Sugitaya.

Oh, you're a decent one.

If you are sorry, then do a little snooping on the Matsuyama gang.

A revenge plot?

I just remembered the Matsuyama gang

- is having a meeting tonight. - What? Where?

I won't give it up for free.

If there is a big...

You look spooky... Why are you smiling?

It's impressive, seeing him cross the dangerous bridge.

Well, don't worry.

Game!

Bet.

Three.

Next!

Everyone bet! Come on, bet!

Closed.

Go one more.

One more.

What did you say? Are you serious?

Give me 20 minutes, you'll see. I can't help it.

You're so stingy.

That's enough now, OK?

- The man from Tokyo is popular. - He really is.

Soon, all of Kobe's women will be lusting after him.

What can I say... It's all about sex appeal.

Sir, cops are here, snooping around.

Wait a minute.

Don't panic.

Do you want to tip off the cops?

- But we should... - Let me handle this.

In these situations, I come prepared.

Brother, will it be all right?

You're silly. Don't be nervous.

There is no law saying we can't use fireworks in Kobe.

But we're up against cops! They're coming!

I owe you, Jiro. Our boss will thank you later.

Don't mention it. This is what a freeloader is for.

A very enthusiastic freeloader. Oh, I just remembered...

She's been waiting for you.

It's a consequence of my own deeds.

- Teko! I'm here! - OK.

Hey...

You're doing well, Jiro. You shouldn't make Mami angry.

Yeah, it's not a good idea to make the Matsuyamas angry.

- What are you talking about? - Don't try to fool me.

It's about the raid. You get a tip...

You get known among cops, get paid...

What more can you ask for?

Stop making fun of me.

I can't compete with you.

You have a lousy poker face.

That was good.

Ms. Mami, beautiful as always.

Welcome!

Honey, stop.

Paku, take care of her.

No problem.

- Teko, let's go. - OK.

Michi, let's go.

Are you going already?

Oh, is there any problem?

Of course there is. She stays.

- Wanna fight? - Let's do it.

- What are you looking at? - The ocean.

That's about the only thing in Kobe...

You are missing Tokyo, aren't you?

I can go back to Tokyo anytime.

I'd rather...

I'd rather go somewhere across the ocean.

That sounds great. I want to go with you.

Sorry, but I need

something completely different.

So, you're saying it'll be different without me?

Of course. Think about it.

You're tired of me, is that it?

Yes. I'm tired of you.

No! I don't care, I won't let you go.

Jiro!

Hey, stop it. You look ridiculous.

Where are you going?

Jiro!

Weren't you going to the port festival with me?

I don't like festivals.

And I don't like women who argue pointlessly.

Hey, little boy.

Hi, mister from the other day.

- You look cool with a harmonica. - My dad bought it for me.

You have a nice dad.

But he died.

- May I borrow it? I'll play it for you. - OK.

Yacchan, come over here.

- Your mom is calling you. - She is not my mom. She's my aunt.

- We're boarding now. - Wow. I will go with you!

That's why I'm here.

He's a handful. I hope he wasn't bothering you.

Thank you. Let's go.

See you again, mister.

- Did you get everything? - No, one more.

Come, that's it.

- Hold on tight. - OK.

Here is your harmonica.

RESTAURANT SUGITAYA

Oh? What are you doing? You can't do that.

- Are you coming with us, mister? - No, he won't.
