TOWA OIL COMPANY

It's not even cold season. What's with you?

Hey, did you hear?

There was a big bank heist this morning.

Looks like they got away with 100 million yen.

- Hope they get away with it. - Yeah, me too.

Get real. They're gonna get caught right away.

That's why crime doesn't pay.

Still, hope he makes it.

Yeah, but they'll get him for sure.

Only works if you can avoid exposure.

Like this company.

Do you know what the big shots upstairs are doing?

Things like cheating our subsidiaries to get more profit,

Funneling money through ghost companies to get interest earnings.

Yeah. The main players are Koizumi, the head of Accounting,

and that guy Kaneko over there,

that other big wig, Takashima,

and the head of Auditing, Mizuhara.

They're a bunch of wheeler-dealers. Can't be helped.

Plus, the President's in with them, too.

If there's no getting caught, you can really do anything.

Doesn't it piss you off, Asakura?

Of course it does.

But getting mad won't change things.

Just suck it up and move on, right?

Yeah, we should just focus on getting promoted to the next level.

Yeah. That's what's important.

Easy for you to say. You're first in line for a promotion.

No way. I'm a night school grad,

and just got in here by the skin of my teeth.

- Yeah, I heard you almost didn't get in. - Oh, really?

OK, everybody. I need your attention, please.

This is an important announcement.

This is Mr. Hyogo from Kyoritsu Bank.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I think you've probably heard it on the news,

but one of the cash transporters at our bank was attacked this morning,

and 100 million yen was stolen.

I need your cooperation.

This cloud actually has a silver lining.

All the serial numbers on the stolen bills

were on record at our head office.

The numbers are listed here on this sheet.

- I'll pass them out. - Oh, thank you.

So we are asking everyone for their cooperation:

If you spot any bills with these numbers,

please notify us immediately.

What's this thing in the way here?

- Apples. From my hometown. - It's always something with you.

- Would you like one? - No thanks.

Let's go.

Please make way.

- Wow, isn't she something? - Do you know her?

That's the President's daughter, Erika.

- Oh, she's beautiful. - Get back here.

Some lucky bastard's gonna marry her and get on the fast track to the top.

You guys have no chance. Looks like I'm the only candidate here.

That's really too bad.

What a disappointment.

If you just lost twenty more kilos,

you'd be the middle-weight champion for sure.

Are you really a hemophiliac?

Yeah. When I get a nose bleed, it won't stop.

I guess sometimes life's a bitch, huh?

- Good evening. - Are you just getting home now?

...was endorsed by both the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Finance.

And now, an update on the 100 million yen bank heist.

At just past 8:00 a.m. today, in Tokyo's Marunouohi district,

there was a 100 million yen murder-theft at the Kyoritsu Bank.

A special task force has been set up to investigate this incident,

and law enforcement is on a manhunt to find the culprits,

but they still have no reliable leads,

and there is still no suspect in the case.

Uncovered at the crime scene was...

...a bullet from a .22 caliber weapon,

which the thief used to kill the cash transporter,

then used a knife to open the case containing 100 million yen,

and removed the cash, leaving the case behind.

Investigators are fairly confident that whoever did this

was highly skilled at using a firearm,

and is likely to repeat the same type of crime in the future.

They have therefore made this crime investigation top priority.

Further, the scale and degree of planning involved indicates

that the responsible party may be a group, not an individual.

Investigators are looking into possible links to known crime rings.

The murder victim, Kyoritsu Bank employee Koiohi Hare, age 45,

had been with the bank for 20 years.

He was well-trained in both judo and kendo,

so investigators speculate that the culprit was a skilled fighter himself.

Where do you think you're going?

You can't pass through here.

Don't come any closer!

Cool it. You're part of the Kaijun Gang right?

Yeah.

Where do you get your drugs?

I don't know the place.

Who's the supplier?

Who's the supplier?!

Who's the supplier?

I don't know the details.

If you go to Club Domingo and sit at the bar,

someone will come over and help you.

Hey, you.

Sorry, but you'll have to come with me.

Wanna play tough guy with me, too?

Stand up.

Here he is.

- Hmm. This is the guy? - Yeah.

You, pat him down.

This is it.

That's all? This doesn't tell us anything.

Who the hell are you, anyway?

I want to get some drugs.

Drugs? Get real. We don't deal in that.

I thought I asked you who the hell you are.

I forget.

OK, maybe you should jog his memory.

For starters, let's see if you can remember your name.

Hey, that's a nice watch.

Move!

You fucking prick!

Come out! Show yourself, you fucker!

Don't move.

Come here.

Where are you going? Come here.

Don't shoot! Don't shoot.

Like I said before,

I want drugs.

This isn't that kind of business.

- There isn't any here. - Don't bullshit me.

I mean your underground business.

You wanna die?

- Wait. The one who sells us drugs is... - Is who?

City Assemblyman Isokawa.

- Assemblyman Isokawa? - Yeah.

He's very influential.

Even heads the Public Safety Committee.

He's too powerful to get to. You can't get to him either.

- Where does he live? - Right near the Tsukano Park.

A huge mansion. You can't miss it.

- Don't shoot. Don't shoot. - OK.

Just tell me, who the hell are you?

What are you trying to do?

- Really wanna know? - I do.

Tell me.

- Tell me. - Did you read the evening paper?

Yeah, I read it.

Then you should be familiar with this.

You read the article about the big murder/bank heist, right?

That was you?

Yeah, I did it.

- I'm the one with the 100 million yen. - 100 million.

Trouble is...

all the serial numbers are on record at the bank.

So I can't even use the money.

Wait a minute...

Well, I've considered everything carefully.

And I've decided the safest thing to do is convert the money into heroin.

Wait a minute. If you tell me everything,

- you'll have to kill me. - That's right.

In other words, I don't really care about the drugs.

I want the money!

If you guys had just played nice, it wouldn't have had to end like this.

- Don't shoot! Please, don't kill me! - No way. No way.

- Please! - Got a family?

Yes! A lot of kids!

- They'll be happier when you're dead. - No, they won't!

Kyoko.

There's an Executive Officers meeting, so I have to return to the office.

I'll come again tomorrow.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Head towards Seijo.

Try some.

It's called mao tai.

It's a Chinese aperitif.

Cheers.

I'm Hajime Hotta.

I'm in stocks. What about you?

I'm Kyoko Nagai.

- Mr. Hotta? - Yes?

This is only dinner, nothing more.

Let's not go into any detail beyond names.

It'll be better for both of us.

You're right. Agreed.

Excuse me a moment.

Have some of this, it's really good.
