Blowback 2

' ' God bless our journey,' ' huh?

All's gone well,Joe.

We can relax now. No one will track us down this far.

Yeah.

But here instead, you could get killed for a shirt...

l hope you haven't forgotten.

No, l haven't.

l don't intend to hang around here for long either.

As soon as the dust settles, l might check out Hong Kong.

Hong Kong, huh?

Why don't you join me?

l'll pass.

Haven't you got a chick waiting for you in town?

You were telling me one day about this joint near Ermita.

Anita.

Right. Ajoint called Anita.

She can't be still waiting.

lt's been way too long...

Don't play tough.

lsn't it too soon to call it an old sentiment?

Hey!

Make it up to her, Baku.

Lopez, can't you drive a bit more gently?

Sorry, brother.

Some driver.

Dead end...?

Joe!

Baku, run!

Go ahead, Baku!

Sorry, brother.

Baku.

Baku!

Hold it.

Keep quiet.

What do you call this joint?

Rei.

ls that your name?

What happened to Anita?

Went out of business.

Quite a while ago.

And the lady?

l don't know... Left town, probably.

Fix me a drink...

Something that'll blow off this pain.

There are no decent customers that come to visit Anita.

He's sleeping quietly. He seems OK.

For someone who had bad luck.

Calling the cops?

Who were you talking to, then?

A doctor.

The one who pulled the bullets out of you last night.

Why did you help me?

l'm in the service industry.

l have to take good care of generous customers.

Even gangsters and murderers?

You can't do business if you're too picky...

Not in this town.

Where's my piece?

Are you afraid without your gun?

l just can't trust anybody...

Not in this town.

Lopez?

He's a friend of mine, owes me money.

Fifty thousand dollars, to be exact.

You expect me to help you collect your debt?!

You'll get a nice commission. lt's a snap.

But guys named Lopez are a dime a dozen in this town.

He wears an earring on his left ear and works at a lechon diner.

The lechon diners are a dime a dozen, too.

Take me to the worst one you can think of.

lf l find Lopez...?

Tell him l'm waiting out front.

Can l really count on that commission?

Sure.

Excuse me.

ls Lopez here?

Lopez?

What business do you have with him?

My friend, he needs to see him.

No longer here, and l don't know where he is.

l know Lopez.

Really?

ln there.

Over there.

No! Stop!!

Stop it! Leave me alone!

No! NO!!

Joe!

Bring the car to the back.

- What? - Hurry up!

Where's Lopez?

Hold on. Don't shoot.

Where is he? Answer me!!

At the market. Don't shoot!

Don't move! l'll kill you!

Get on!

Step on it!

Which market?

The Melsoria Market.

My cousins keep a shop there.

Take us there.

You call THlS a snap?!

What are you going to do?

l don't want to get involved in some gang business!!

Keep your eyes on the road!!

Damn...

There's been a murder at a lechon downtown.

We suspect the violators are Japanese nationals...

They are armed and considered dangerous...

This is no good.

Calm down, partner.

Partner?

You can handle it.

No way! You gotta be kidding me!

You tricked me into this!

l'm not your partner. l'm a VlCTl M!!

Good luck convincing those guys back there...

- No damn good. - l know.

l meant YOU.

Help! Help me!

He's gonna kill me!

Put down your gun.

Hurry up.

Pick up the guns, partner.

The suspects have attacked a policeman and stolen his shotgun...

and are fleeing the scene.

Now l'm a hard-core criminal, thanks to you.

Why am l so unlucky?

l shouldn't have helped you.

l should've just taken the cash and dumped you in the bay.

You listening?

Stop the car.

ls this it?

Wait for me here.

Hey, you're leaving me here alone?!

lf you get lonely, hold the shotgun.

You take me for a fool?

l'm not waiting! Good-bye!

- Back here? - Yeah.

Go on then!

Which way?

Lopez!!

Come on, let's get out of here! Run!

Joe!

Get down!!

Get on.

Get on!!

Let's go!

l'm impressed. You handled the cops pretty well back there.

Who the hell says?

How about a little appreciation? l just saved your ass.

l don't remember asking.

Don't have to. lt's my way of saying hello.

Saying hello with dynamite?

Sometimes.

A pretty freakish town.

Are you an investigator from ClS?

ClS?

Criminal lnvestigation Service, part of the National Police.

My ClS days are long gone.

Right now, l'm after the same exact prey you are hunting.

You mean Lopez?

Lopez is only a bait.

Someone much bigger...well, YOU should know.

You don't mind if l listen in ...right?

You can't just drag me into this and cut me off just like that.

l can't even go back to the bar.

What do you expect me to do against cops and gangsters?

l know you're the suspect in the incident three days ago.

So you killed him, after all.

The stiff was my partner.

Lopez trapped us into an ambush by guerrillas.

That's why you want Lopez...

This big shot you speak of...

Does he have a tattoo on his left hand?

Yeah.

Who's he?

Nobody really knows for sure.

The ClS calls him Yamaneko.

ls he a Communist guerrilla?

No, it's totally different.

His organization only deals with other gangs and criminals.

He robs and massacres ' ' the bad seeds.' '

Not unlike what we used to do at the ClS.

True.

There isn't a hell of a difference between the cops and the gangs.

Why are you after Yamaneko?

The reward money.

The American ambassador is offering five hundred grand.

His daughter was killed by a stray bullet during a skirmish.

So, you're a bounty hunter.

More or less.

Yamaneko is a resourceful fellow.

Besides, he's armed with a great number of subordinates.

ln this country...

if you got the dough, you can build your own army.

He's untouchable.

Nobody can take him down?

Not alone.
