Onibi: The Fire Within (鬼火)

THE FIRE WITHIN

Now, that's a good picture, Kuni.

This is the first time I've seen you outdoors since jail.

If you'd told me, I would've come to pick you up.

NAOTO TANIGAWA

Nice calling card.

They used to be our enemy, but it's changed now.

Let's say, I'm on the outside.

Because we're directly under the Myojin gang...

I can't take you in right away.

Don't worry about me.

I'm going to Sakata's.

$aka&a...?

You mean your old cell mate?

Yeah.

I heard he's gone straight.

Don't!

You took a bite of it.

So don't dip it in the same sauce.

Damn!

It fell in.

Come on, you dropped it.

If you come to my group.

I can change my way of life.

Take our picture.

I'm no good at making money.

I know that.

I just want you to be with us, that's all.

You're just like a cultural asset.

And want me to explode when necessary?

That figures.

Hanamura.

Yes?

Get in the car.

Yes.

That much? I can't take that.

I can't speak for the others...

but our group's doing a roaring business.

We haven't pledged loyalty over sake yet.

But to me, you're my senior, Kuni.

Anyway, I don't want to put you to shame.

Please take it.

I appreciate your sentiments.

You really mean it?

Kuni...

I'll get in touch with you.

Tanigawa.

Yes?

There's something I want.

Your camera.

You mean this?

- Can I have it? - Sure.

Thank you.

SAKATA

Please mind the gap. Please mind the gap.

Kuni, don't you have to go now?

Kuni...

Not today. No way.

All my joints ache like hell.

Kuni.

Sakata told me you'd be here.

How much?

MATASABURO THE WIND

That's 1,800 yen.

Keep the change and be rich.

Very generous. Thanks very much.

Myojin, the guy above me, wants to meet with you.

He uses legitimate money lending as a cover.

Will you go and meet him?

He's looking for a driver.

I got no license.

Thank you.

How'd you lose your license?

I was in the slammer.

What for?

Knocking people off.

You killed someone? Cool!

Think so?

I was a real wild kid.

I wiped out 2 or 3 guys.

So did I.

You killed 2 or 3 guys?

Just 2.

Mister.

Consider your age and don't go off the deep end now.

Sure thing.

You passed the first stage.

But this is my first day.

You drive very well.

What are you doing?

Red light.

Thanks.

Kuni.

Stupid!

Here, coffee.

A chauffeur isn't such a bad job, but...

won't you be treated better if you join a gang?

I've had enough of yakuza.

With your reputation...

What a waste.

Hey, test me.

All right?

Your car is stalled on a railroad crossing.

Is it your priority to signal the following car not to enter the crossing?

Stalled on the crossing?

No.

Or is it yes?

Don't try to guess at it.

It's yes!

Wrong.

Why?

Because first, you should move your car off the crossing. That's why.

You said the car was stalled. So how can you move it?

You're stupid.

All you have to do is memorize it. There ain't no other way.

Who needs this? I can drive without a license.

My father wanted me to be able to bring a guy like Kuni into our gang.

The job is unworthy of you, but it's only for the time being.

Please accept it.

Thank you.

Hey you! Watch it!

I'm sorry.

Come on! Start the car!

Well... But...

Screw 'em! Go on! Run them over!

Damn it! Let's go! Start the car!

Start the damn car!

And you. Don't move from here till I say.

Good morning, sir. Good morning.

Excuse me. Where's your boss?

We came instead.

That's okay. Our boss isn't here either.

You better leave.

- What's that mean? - Get out of the way.

Things are different now. Debtors have the advantage.

We don't pay back borrowed money that easily.

Moron! Send them back!

And shave you head!

There's people at the office.

Hey! Move it!

Hey! You're in the way!

Hey, you!

Never mind, go on!

It's sour.

Give me a break.

Don't raise your head.

Forget about golf.

Yes.

It's me.

I think they're being held prisoner.

Can you go up and help them?

You should call the police.

Our business is black-market loaning.

I think you know that.

Yeah, I guess I dc.

If there's something bothering you...

I'll let Tanigawa deal with it.

Excuse me.

I was told to come...

Hey, take your shoes off!

Shoes?

Sorry about that.

Excuse me.

Sorry to bother you.

What are you doing?

Taking off their shoes.

Forget that! Just take them out of here.

First, pay the money back.

Don't talk nonsense.

Now, beat it!

My boss loaned money to your boss.

It must be paid back.

When that's done, I'll leave.

That's not too complicated, is it?

You're not just a driver? A gang member?

No. A chauffeur.

Then, it's simple.

I'm just a chauffeur. Be careful.

There's no reason for a driver to get killed here.

That's right. Yes. You're right. You're right.

You don't know the difference between a threat and a hit.

What?

When you kill, don't waste words. Just do the killing.

Carrying a hidden sword, I took a taxi.

I found the guy right away.

He was standing in front of the coffee shop.

I had my jacket over the sword and threw it at him.

And slashed at him.

Someone screamed.

Then the guy...

hid behind the coffee shop sign board.

The kind with cement blocks in the base. Impossible to move it.

The sword had cut his left shoulder down to his back.

So, I gave it a thrust.

Then I heard a metallic noise.

I thought I'd missed him, I gave it another thrust.

But I was wrong.

The sword was hitting the block behind his body.

Excuse me.

Will you play that again?
