#701's GRUDGE SONG

"You're a beautiful flower” ...his words flatter you today.

But once you're in full bloom, he'll just toss you away.

Foolish, foolish, foolish woman's song...

Her song of vengeance.

"Sorrow is my fate” ...so you've given up on men.

Show him your tears and he'll bring you grief again.

Tearful, tearful, tearful woman's song...

Her song of vengeance.

A bright red rose has thorns that you might not see.

I don't want to pierce you, but how else will I get free?

Burning, burning, burning woman's song...

Her song of vengeance.

What's going on?

What do you think you're doing?

What's going on?

Nami Matsushima!

You're under arrest for first-degree murder and breaking out of prison.

Don't let her get away!

We've captured you at last, Scorpion.

Do you know how much time we spent looking for you?

How many cops we had to mobilize?

But you're finished now, once and for all.

Now I can finally send you to the gallows.

I'm sure Detective Sugimi and the other cops you killed are waiting...

...down there in hell.

- What the hell are you doing? - Goddamn you!

Hey! Are you all right? Hey!

Hang on!

That bitch! Go after her!

- What happened? - Are you all right?

That's it! Keep going, now!

Not enough power in your hips!

Hey, mister... I hear you don't like girls.

I'm going to fix that for you.

Wait, your thing... it's all messed up

Thank you, thank you!

Thank you very much, that's it for tonight!

Get some sleep, now.

Hey, where've you been? We're ready to start the show.

Eat something. You'll feel better.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Years ago, this used to be our hideout.

Why did I help you?

I'm not sure myself.

Public Safety

These are "souvenirs" from the cops.

Whenever I'm in pain from these old wounds,

I come here

and shoot at the cops.

No one will ever find this place.

You'd better stay here until you've recovered.

What the hell's going on?

We're not doing anything illegal!

Hold on a minute! Hold on!

Kudo, right?

Kudo, it's been a long time.

Don't worry.

We're not here to arrest you today.

Tell me.

Where are you hiding that woman?

I see...

So you're going to play dumb, are you?

Chief!

You're an exemplary woman.

I'll pull some strings, they'll look the other way when it comes to your shows.

Thank you, sir.

Nami Matsushima! She broke out of these handcuffs and escaped.

We know she's injured.

She couldn't get very far in her state, so you've got to be hiding her.

Tell us...where is she?

I see, so you can't tell us?

In that case, I'm arresting you for harboring a criminal!

Kudo, what a strange twist of fate.

I was promoted from the Riot Squad, and your student revolution failed.

So I never thought I'd run into you like this again.

What's learned in the cradle is carried to the grave, huh?

Own up, you bastard.

If you want to protect that woman, that's your business.

But you've sold out your comrades before.

You'll only end up in my clutches again.

Spit it out! Where's Nami Matsushima?

Let me tell you what kind of woman she is.

Wanted for the murder of 8 police officers, 3 prison breaks, and 28 attempts.

In order to uphold the dignity of the state

and to maintain law and order,

that woman must never be forgiven for her crimes, she's evil incarnate!

Start talking!

He's fallen once before. He's sure to fall again.

If you don't start talking, I'll have to refresh your memory.

We have no choice.

I didn't talk.

I beat them.

I didn't let them break me.

Let's tell the Chief.

Goddammit!

I'm going to kill him the next time I see him.

Hold your fire! I want her taken alive!

It's an underground passage!

Goddammit!

Tighten the search.

Matsushima and Kudo are on the run together now.

So if you can smoke out Kudo, you'll be sure to nab Matsushima as well.

I have a warrant, but I'm authorizing you to do whatever it takes.

Everyone from Kudo's relatives to his friends. Leave no stone unturned!

Hirose Squad!

Tsuchida Squad!

Ikawa Squad!

Yamamoto Squad!

Hiroshima Squad!

What the hell?

- Where's Kudo? - I don't know.

Do you know a man named Kudo?

- Police! - What's going on?

You said he's not coming home tonight, right?

We have no choice, then.

We're just going to have to wait here, no matter how long it takes.

Kimiyo? It's me. I'm not going to make it home tonight.

We'll have to postpone your birthday celebration.

How's the baby doing?

Hey, what's the matter?

Hello? Hello?

You lied to us. Kodama was really supposed to come home tonight!

Shit!

- Hey, this place is off-limits! - I'm Kodama!

We're finished with our investigation. We've got fingerprints.

- We don't need them. - Sir?

I already know who did this.

It's Scorpion.

I've been virtually dead all these years.

That was the only way I could get through life.

But now I've met you and I feel...

...as though I can go back to being who I was before.

I'm going to get those bastards.

I'm going to get my revenge on them for trying to destroy me.

I swear I'm going to rip their heads off.

That's right.

We had a plan once, years ago.

I can get it done this time.

If you help me.

This base is what all their power depends on.

They send out a huge amount of money every month, on the 20th.

That's what we're going after.

It should be coming at 10:00am.

It won't be long now.

Here it comes.

Goddammit! We're surrounded.

Let's split up. Meet me at the hideout!

Just run!

Drop your gun!

Drop your gun!

Settle down!

Just get him!

Where's Nami Matsushima?

Where's your hideout?

You can beat me all you want.

- I'll never give into you. - Goddamn you!

Is that the best you can do?

What the hell?

Hey! Who said you could sleep?

Stay awake, got that?

Hey! We'll let you sleep all you want after you talk to us.

You're a lot more stubborn now than you ever were before.

But that's all right.

As a reward, I'll let you meet with a special visitor.

Hey.

Hey! What's the matter, Kudo?

Aren't you happy to see her?

You haven't seen your mother in a long time, have you?

What a dirty trick.

Don't be ridiculous.

Your mother came all the way from Hirosaki,

to try to make you see the error of your ways!

Hey!

Now, stand up.

Yasuo, you mustn't carry such a grudge against these detectives.

Everything you've done, you have no one to blame but yourself.

They told me everything.

You know you haven't been home in so many years.

I always believed you had your own life to live somehow.

That's what I told myself, and I've always borne it!

But not this time.

Yasuo! You've been deceived by this horrible woman!

You've got to apologize to the detectives right away.

If you just tell them where she is, they'll let you go.

The detectives...

They don't think you're the one who killed Mr. Kodama's wife.

You were never the type of person who could kill in cold blood!

It was that woman who killed her.

Just tell them where she is, and they'll let you go!

I beg of you, please don't be such an inconsiderate son anymore!

Please, stop causing your mother so much grief!

I...

Mother...

Mother!
