Does Mr. Muranishi really plan to film this?
[Mitamura] Probably.
[Muranishi] Come over here.
Relax.
Nobody will come in here. It's just the two of us.
Okay.
[Muranishi] First, remove all your adornments.
Cast off all the rules and beliefs that constrain you.
Mm.
Your unadorned face is lovely.
[chuckles]
Long ago,
I decided that you would film my first video, Mr. Muranishi.
What would you do if I didn't?
[atmospheric music playing]
I intended to do…
whatever it took to make it happen.
[both chuckle]
I like that look.
From now on, your name is…
Mariko Nogi.
[gasps]
Mariko Nogi.
[somber music playing]
[somber music continues]
You look a little tense still.
Relax your shoulders.
[exhales]
Okay.
It's time to take that leap.

-Mr. Muranishi! -Mr. Muranishi!
[woman] Next, CEO Umino will present Toru Muranishi with a bouquet of flowers.
The Diamond Satellite Channel will broadcast mainly videos
made by Diamond Visual, the leader in the porn industry.
Currently…
I don't know what you'll broadcast,
but the chairman won't be there to protect you.
If there's any problem, you'll be out in a flash.
I look forward to it.
Here we go!
This is the temple of sex,
Diamond Satellite Channel, blasting off!
Fantastic!
-[rasps] -[cheers]
Congratulations!
-Congratulations! -Mr. Muranishi!
Mr. Muranishi!

[whooshes]
[moaning]
[moaning continues]
-Looks like it has begun. -What? Yes.
[Nogi moaning on TV]
-[moaning] -[grunting]
I'm coming!
I think this video shows many sides of me.
[man] Mizuno, give me a hand.
-Enjoy watching till the end. -[Mizuno] Sure.
[Tinamoto] Junko, I'll take this down too.
Thank you.
-Can you take this too? -Sure.
-That's the last one. -Got it.
Junko, take care of yourself.
[laughs]
You're making too much of this.
This is a small industry. I'm sure we'll meet again soon.
-Thanks. -[grunts]
If I ever have trouble, can I call you?
[Junko] Of course, you can.
I'll gladly help you in a shoot, even if the pay's cheap.
I wish you success.
[Mitamura] Thanks.
You too, Rugby.
Thanks.
[chuckles]
Come on! Make use of your size and don't be a wuss.
[Junko laughs]
[grunts]
Thank you!
[moaning]
[Junko] Thank you too.
Good luck, you guys.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
[Muranishi on TV] How many men have you had sex with by the time you were 21?
[Nogi on TV] Let's see…
Maybe three.
[Muranishi on TV] What number will I be?
-[Nogi on TV] The fourth. -[Muranishi on TV] I see.
Mr. Muranishi,
thank you for all you've done for me.
[Muranishi on TV] How old were you when you lost your virginity?
-I… was 17. -[Muranishi] Yes. Take care.
[Muranishi on TV] Who was the person you lost it to?
I'm sorry I couldn't do more to help Diamond Visual.
[Nogi on TV] …a university student.
[Muranishi on TV] Where did you meet?
[Nogi on TV] He was a friend of a friend.
We were introduced at the school festival.
[inhales deeply]
[Muranishi on TV] How long did you date him?
[Nogi on TV] About three months, I think.
[Muranishi on TV] What happened? Did you break up?
Thank you.
[Nogi on TV] I couldn't stand how much he wanted to control me.
[Muranishi on TV] So you had him tied up tight, didn't you?
You had him tied up so tight that before you knew it,
he whipped out his dick, and that's when you broke up with him, didn't you?
[door thuds]
I'm back.
Oh, welcome back.
Sorry it's so small.
I grew up poor, so this kind of place is more comfortable.
It's not small at all. It's quite lovely.
[chuckles]
Oh, that's right.
We should make rules about shower order and doing laundry.
We'll take turns cooking too. Be honest if it's awful, okay?
This seems like it'll be fun.
I'll clean the toilet too.
[both laugh]
It's okay. Don't push yourself.
When things settle down, let's find a bigger condo.
This place is fine.
Let's do as each of us pleases from now on, all right?
Yes.
In the gangland shooting at a hostess club in Kabukicho, Shinjuku
between the Taiwanese and Colombian mafia that left several dead and injured,
the apparent ringleader…
Sorry to drag you along.
[sighs]
I can't just abandon an injured person.
[Sayaka chuckles]
All right.
[Sayaka] I'll go buy some food.
[coins clink]
[Sayaka] What do you want?
I don't want anything.
-[elevator bell dings] -[yakuza 1] Hey, gramps. Where are they?
[man] Room 703.
-What? Give me the key! -Sure.
-[keys clink] -[button clatters]
Give me those.
[ominous music playing]
-[yakuza 1] Let's go. -[yakuza 2] Yes, sir.
-[yakuza 1] We're going. -[Sayaka panting]
-Hey. -Yeah.
Toshi, we have to get out.
-What's wrong? -Ogiwara and his guys are downstairs.
-What? -[Sayaka] Hurry!
Seriously?
Fuck!
[door lock clicks]
Sayaka!
[grunts]
[knocking on door]
[Toshi] Come on, over here!
[indistinct chatter]
Not this way!
-Hey! Open up! -[door bell ringing]
[suspenseful music playing]
-[Sayaka] Excuse me! -[Toshi] Open up!
Open up, please!
Toshi! No way.
We're through.
[elevator bell dings]
[suspenseful music continues]
-[keys clinking] -[door opens]
Hey, Toshi!
Where the fuck are you?
[yakuza 3] Hey! Toshi!
[Sayaka] Please!
Hurry!
[shouting in distance]
[Sayaka] Thank you.
-Hey! -Close it!
Oh, gosh!
[yakuza 3] Get out here already!
[banging on door]
What's your problem?
-They're after us. Hide us. Please! -What?
-Just for a little bit. Okay? -[Queen] But…
In there. Go.
-[Queen] Are you kidding me? -Just for a little bit.
[Toshi] Please!
-[yakuza 3] Hey, open the door! -[yakuza 2] Hurry it up!
[yakuza 1] We know you're in there!
-[Queen] Who are you? -Where's the man and woman?
[Queen] How dare you! I'll call the police!
Out of the way!
You're lying, aren't you? Don't look at me like that.
-What's with you? -I'll fuck you up.
[yakuza 3] Disgusting.
-[yakuza 4] Come on, we're leaving. -[yakuza 2] Okay.
[yakuza 2] They're not here!
[suspenseful music]
[panting]
Sorry. Let us stay here just a little while longer.
-Oh, come on… -Please! I'm begging you!
Please. [sighs]
What?
[Kawada] Who is it?
[Toshi] Hey.
Who is it? Who's there?
Kawada!
[upbeat music playing]
Oh, it's Toshi.
What are you doing here?
Same goes for you.
[Queen] What's this?
I see you're getting aroused.
I'm even more ashamed than I was a minute ago!
-You want me to get even rougher with you? -Yes, please!
[Kawada] This is so shameful, it feels great!
-Come on! -Oh!
Show your joy!
-[Naoko] Morning. -[Edogawa] Good morning.
Naoko. Roma. We've got your money.
-[Naoko] Thank you. -Good morning.
[Naoko] Morning.
[Muranishi] How about here?
[both laughing]
[Muranishi moans]
[Nogi] You're getting hard.
[both breathing heavily]
[both grunting, moaning]
[gentle music playing]
[exhales deeply]
[chuckles softly]
[grunts] Oh, god…
[both moan]
Oh, God!
[moaning]
Thank you.
-Are those bags? They're all bags. -Sakura.
-A million fifty thousand. -Thank you.
The two of them are filming alone again today.
Really? Are they actually filming?
[chuckles]
What's with that chick anyway?
I guess she's supposed to replace Kuroki.
She'll never replace her.
[laughing]
Yesterday, when I was shopping in Ginza, I ran into an old coworker.
-From the department store? -Yes.
She knew that I've been in adult videos.
No matter what anyone says, don't let it bother you.
I don't.
But…
If I hadn't stumbled on your adult video back then,
I think I probably would still be working there.
I'd be seeing the same gloomy view from the train,
and I'd be doing the same dull things.
Back then, I didn't care what it was.
I just wanted something that would get me out of there and give me real freedom.
I see.
Now I'm having lots of fun.
[sighs]
[laughing in distance]
[indistinct chatter]
Good afternoon.
[Nogi] Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.
Here you are.
Oh, thank you.
[Komu] Miyuki, you really pulled it off, didn't you?
What?
I filled the bath for you. Enjoy it while it's still hot.
[indistinct chatter]
-[Mitamura] Can you make it smaller? -[Tanimoto] Like this?
-Yeah, that's good. -Okay.
[cell phone rings]
-Sorry, I've got a call. -Okay.
Splice it there. I'll check it later.
-[Tanimoto] Sure. -Ow.
Hello?
[Rugby] Hello? Mitamura?
Rugby, what's up?
-Rugby, is it okay? -Get out!
We're checking right now!
We reserved the studio, but they haven't been paid.
Is there any petty cash left?
It's gone already?
Whatever. I'll pay out of pocket.
I'll get the cash to you.
[Rugby] Thank you.
Everything is all right, isn't it?
Maybe.
Mr. Mitamura.
Can we pay with petty cash?
Wait. Hold on a second.
-Okay. -Okay.
Tomorrow, I'll talk to Ms. Oba about it.
[Rugby] All right.
Okay. Bye.
[cell phone beeps]
-What's up? -Sorry.
We still have all of these to pay.
What the heck is all this?
What's wrong?
This.
[Muranishi] What's this?
-Spread these out over there. -[Katayan] Yes, sir.
[birds chirping]
[Oba] First, there are the satellite fees.
That's 1.9 billion yen for the broadcast station.
A 100-million-yen donation.
Then 300 million yen for tuner maintenance.
That's 250 million for broadcast fees.
And 200 million for all the facility renovations.
-Then-- -Enough. I get the picture.
How much do we have right now?
We can't pay this month's bills.
-We can't cover the satellite this month. -We're not stopping the satellite.
But we don't have 250 million for broadcast fees.
That's impossible.
Open the safe.
Yes, sir.
[Muranishi] How can we not have 250 million?
[safe rattles, clicks]
This is everything.
What will we do? We've got bills piling up.
It's not a problem. These were all investments.
After up-front costs, we can make up for it
with satellite channel subscriptions, plus our video sales and rental royalties.
Right. I understand that.
How much do we have here?
We have 200 million. We need 50 million more.
Why did you wait until it got this bad?
[tense music playing]
I believed what Diamond Visual needed most of all right now
was the satellite channel.
Mr. Muranishi, Diamond will shine like a 100-million-carat diamond, right?
Precisely.
Fifty million, right?
-Good morning. -Good morning.
It has dropped below 20,000 yen.
[ringing]
Hello, Honda speaking.
Yes.
[Honda] Is that right?
I understand.
-[thuds] -[clatters]
The head of the Ministry of Finance…
has just issued a loan volume restriction.
If disobeyed, this bank will be closed in three days.
Stop all real estate loans immediately!
[Harada] Hey, get going. You heard him! Stop all loans!
[clamoring]
[overlapping chattering]
It's all over…
for Japan.
[cell phone ringing]
Hello. Mr. Honda of Akasaka Bank.
Hello, Mr. Honda. Mr. Muranishi here. How are you?
I just came up with a great idea to get more satellite channel subscriptions.
To do so, I was hoping you could extend me some more financing this month.
Good news, right?
I'm sorry, Mr. Muranishi. We'll talk next month.
Hey! Wait!
[Muranishi sighs]
-When is the payment due? -In six days.
[sighs deeply]
[Muranishi on TV] She's gobbling it down like a beast eating its prey.
What a sexy look on her face.
This Mr. Muranishi guy really is interesting.
[Muranishi on TV] Your mouth feels like an octopus!
I can't eat while watching this crap.
Why not? What's wrong with it?
You worked together, right?
[plate clatters]
[doorbell buzzes]
Coming.
[slurps]
Who is it?
[Shigeko] It's Sayaka's mother.
[approaching footsteps]
What?
[Shigeko] Is my daughter there?
[Kawada] I don't know who you're talking about.
She's not here.
[Shigeko] I asked the people who worked with the man she ran off with.
She's always been so selfish.
Your mother will be killed by the yakuza!
[thuds]
-[Shigeko] Please open up! -[door thudding]
-[Shigeko sobbing] -[door thuds]
I want to see my child one more time.
[Shigeko] I don't remember where I went wrong with her,
but she'll always be my daughter.
I want to start over again,
just the two of us, mother and daughter.
[Shigeko] Please…
I'm sorry.
-Sayaka! -[banging on door]
Sayaka!
Sa…
[approaching footsteps]
[ominous music playing]
[breathing shakily]
[ominous music continues]
[Muranishi on TV] When you reach the peak, blow it three times.
[beeping on TV]
[Muranishi on TV] Fantastic!
Viewers will know how good you feel
based on how many times you blow it.
Got it?
[Toshi] I'm going to bed.
[Sayaka sobbing]
[Toshi] You're thinking about that hag again?
[whimpers, sobs]
[delicate music playing]
[Sayaka whimpers, sobs]
Hey.
You need to consider your own happiness.
Understand?
-[Sayaka sobbing] -[Toshi sighs]
Isn't happiness…
different for each person?
[sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
[Sayaka] Let's run away together.
[delicate music continues]
[Sayaka sobbing]
Toshi.
You really weren't cut out for…
being a yakuza.
[rain pattering]
[groans]
[whirring in distance]
[birds cawing]

-[Toshi] Hey. -[Kawada] Morning.
I'm going.
What happened?
She left.
Later, Kawada.
Later.
[shoes clatter]
Toshi!
[indistinct yelling]
[whimpers, grunting]
Wait, dammit!
[intense music playing]
[clamoring]
[indistinct yelling]
Stop running away!
[distant shouting]
[all clamoring]
-Hey! -Stay back!
[distant shouting]
Yeah, get him!
[grunting]
[groaning]
Come on, dumbass.
Die, you bastard.
Hey, get up!
[suspenseful music playing]
[whimpers]
[whimpering continues]
[Mitamura] Girly! Barretta!
-Yes? -Sorry it's late.
-Here. -Thank you.
Thank you.
-Mitamura, come here. -Yes?
-You paid for that yourself. -Yes.
-Are you sure it's okay? -It's fine. Ms. Oba will pay me later.
Sorry. How's it going?
Ms. Oba, can you pay these too, please?
Sure. I'll do it right away.
Thank you.
That's your job, right? I need you to get on the ball.
Understand? Make it work, all right? Bye.
They're no good either. I'm not sure what to do.
The sign-up fees sure are high.
[Oba] I doubt I would sign up either.
SIGN-UP FEE: 245,000 YEN
-[exhales deeply] -[Muranishi] Komu!
[Komu] Yes?
[Muranishi] Ms. Oba too.
Okay.
[Oba] Where's this money from?
Thirty million in Naoko's pay I kept for her so she could avoid taxes.
How much do we have of the pay for actresses and crew?
What?
Their pay?
If we keep the satellite station going, I'll pay them double.
How much?
[tense music playing]
About ten million yen.
That leaves ten million.
-Komu. -Yes?
How much do you have in savings?
What? My savings?
How much?
About three million.
I'll pay it back double next month.
Okay.
I'll get it.
I'll get it!
What else can we…
How about selling the actresses' panties?
[Toshi panting]
[ominous music playing]
Hey.
Look at you now.
[groaning]
Do it.
Okay, boss.
This won't end quickly.
-Bring me a rope. -Okay.
[grunting]
Didn't I tell you?
I hate a traitor more than anything.
[whimpering]
Three hundred million.
[breathing shakily]
I don't have…
three hundred million.
Then steal it from Muranishi.
[panting]
Oh, I see.
[exhales]
Go ahead, Ogiwara.
-Hold him down. -[yakuza] Got it.
[Toshi grunting]
[thuds]
Come on. Get up.
-Wait! -[Ogiwara] Out of the way!
Wait!
-Wait! -I said get out of the way!
Please wait!
[panting]
I'll pay…
the 300 million.
[Toshi gasping]
Quiet them down.
Cut it out! Hey, stop!
Stop him.
Stop it now.
Stop him!
Fine. Let go of me! I get it!
-[Ogiwara grunts] -[panting]
What did you say?
Well…
I'll pay…
the 300 million yen.
[laughing]
-Five hundred million. -What?
If you're paying, it's 500 million.
500 million?
Even with all my assets, 400 million is the best I can do.
Then that leaves 100 million, doesn't it?
I don't have enough.
[Furuya] No, you don't.
A hundred million…
[Furuya] Isn't that right, Mr. Kawada?
[Kawada] When you said 300 million, I thought my 400 million would be enough.
-Hey! -Hey!
What are you doing, Toshi?
What's your fucking problem?
[yakuza 2] Toshi!
[Toshi panting, grunting]
-[groans] -[finger squelches]
[grunting]

[screaming]
[Toshi whimpering]
[Toshi grunting]
[knife clatters]
[groans]
[panting]
[Toshi groaning]
[Toshi] Mr. Furuya…
This is 100 million!
[panting]
Swear to me…
you'll never bother us again!
[Toshi panting, grunting]
I guess that's fine.
Sakaki.
[sobbing]
[Sakaki] Fix him up.
[Toshi panting, grunting]
-[grunts] -[thuds]
[somber music playing]
[Sakaki] Make sure you bring that money.
Every last cent!
Hey, come with me.
[door thuds]
[yakuza 2] Come on. Hurry it up.
Thank you, Kawada.
So what are we going to do now?
[somber music continues]
We'll have to work.
Oh, God! You jerk! That hurts!
This hurts me more!
[Toshi] That hurts…
Jeez…
[Toshi grunts]
A striptease.
Right?
You can sense the sexuality, right?
Open your eyes.
All of you are professionals, right?
Even if the camera isn't running,
you always feel the need to give guys hard-ons, right?
[chuckles] But can we striptease that easily?
Yes, you can. You ladies can do anything.
Naturally, it may not go well at first.
When it doesn't go well, it feels embarrassing.
Very embarrassing.
But think about the audience.
They're thinking, "She's awful at this."
"But she's doing her best."
"She's pretty."
"She's charming."
Understand? They become your fans.
In other words, this works like PR for you ladies.
Isn't that right?
You see, I'm always thinking about what's best for you ladies.
Understand? How about it?
Let's do a strip show, okay?
[women clamor]
Will we get paid for this?
Of course. You'll get tons.
Naoko, this is an excellent opportunity.
You'll get more fans for sure, which will lead to more sales
and more pay.
Understand? Great idea, isn't it?
Let's give it a try. All right?
Let's break the barriers of sex
and show people the magnificence of Diamond actresses, okay?
Let's do this strip show.
Let's strip!
[women murmuring]
This isn't compulsory.
However, we'd appreciate it if you helped out.
Okay, let's do it.
Okay!
Let's go.
What? You're not going, Miyuki?
Right. I was told I didn't have to do this.
By who?
Mr. Muranishi.
[scoffs] Oh, I get it.
You're special, Miyuki.
Nogi.
It will be hard for you later if you don't join the others.
Ms. Kuroki was liked by the others because she always worked with them.
Ms. Kuroki and I are different.
That's exactly why you should go and join them in this.
Right?
Bye.
[door clatters]
What a magnificent theater.
-Come on. Get in here. -Let's go.
-Hello, sir. -[manager] Hello.
Thank you for this.
This is Yuriko Gojo, the second-generation dance instructor.
[Muranishi] It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Gojo.
This is the legendary dancer, Ms. Gojo.
With her as your instructor, you'll be brilliant. No doubt about it.
-Komu, take care of the rest. -Yes, sir.
They're all yours, Ms. Gojo.
Do your best. Excuse me. Coming through.
Do your best.
Let's go and pass out fliers.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
It's four hours till show time.
No time for fooling around.
[chuckles] This isn't like a serious dance though, right?
What?
Leave if you don't like it.
[scoffs]
There's no way we can do this right off the bat.
That's big talk from girls who can't do a thing without a man's cock.
What?
-This stage is no place for amateurs! -[thudding]
I love to dance
and bathe in the stares of the audience.
In my eyes,
all that you girls are doing is copulating.
We're not just copulating.
We use our bodies to arouse the men of Japan…
No, we arouse the men of the world!
Then show me…
that body you're so proud of.
You bet I will!
And one, two, three four…
Try it.
Five, six, seven, eight, one two…
You there!
You're going to dance, right?
What's this?
Walk with your hips!
How about a strip show?
Tonight! A strip show by super-popular adult video actresses!
Exactly 10,000 yen! See you there!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
The audience is paying for this, you know.
You'll never dance doing it like that!
-[Yuriko] Again! -Yes, ma'am.
Back down, then kick your legs in a wide loop.
And stop like this.
[Yuriko] First close your legs then stretch them out. Good.
Sir, please watch the show. Tonight's a special show.
-Sir, how about it? -Please come!
