[Kuroki] Mr. Muranishi, you're through.
Don't be stupid.
I'm just getting started.
[Kuroki] You already know the truth.
There is one way to save yourself.
Kill me.
Say that I died from AIDS.
There is a new religion in Kyushu.
Buy it.
While there, I will seclude myself in the mountains and be resurrected.
Let's run a religion.
You'll be the head priest and I'll be the shrine maiden.
You want me to be a priest?
Yes.
With the collapse of our economy, people will seek escape and relief.
I know we can make a comeback with a business like that.
This is your last recourse.
Don't be stupid.
I'm not. This is your only choice.
You and I are two parts of a single being.
I realized that when I tried to live alone.
Don't you feel the same way?
Let us join together again to become one being.
Farewell, Mr. Muranishi.
[somber music playing]
Kuroki, what will you do from now on?
If you want to do a video, I can ask Mr. Kawada and his guys.
If you're directing, Junko, I'll do it.
It was your makeup that transformed me into Kaoru Kuroki.
I'll never forget the first time that you did my makeup, Junko.
That lipstick
was like a magic spell you cast on me.
[chuckles]
[water boiling]
-[muttering] -[flicks switch]
[crying softly]
I'm sorry.
[Kuroki] For what?
I know…
you were the one that's hurt the most by this, but I…
I didn't do anything for you.
[soft piano music playing]
There's nothing you could've done.
I turned out like this because I wanted to.
Thank you for turning me into Kaoru Kuroki.
[sobbing]
[laughs] Sorry about this.
It's not likely for me to be so dramatic.
Let's have some ice cream.
Good idea.
It's not good for your health to be drinking all the time.
[laughs] Sorry. I don't have any.
I'll dash out and get some.
-Hold on a second, all right? -Sure.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[uplifting music playing]
[Muranishi] What…
would you like a man to do to you?
[Kuroki] Hug me.
[Muranishi] So warm.
[wistful music playing]
[exclaiming softly]
[Muranishi] It's beautiful.
♪ Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin' ♪
Thank you.
From today, your name is…
Kuroki.
Kaoru Kuroki.
[chuckles]
[Kuroki] Okay.
I won!
Kuroki!
I won!
Kuroki!

[medic 1] We're at the hospital. Can you hear me?
[medic 2] We'll go over some bumps.
[medic 1] She's all yours.
[medic 2] This is the patient we called about.
No change in her condition.
-You're at the hospital. -[doctor] What happened?
-[nurse 1] Are you all right? -[nurse 2] Ma'am?
I think she slipped and fell from the balcony,
and hit her head hard.
I see.
Please take good care of her.

[Toshi] Junko.
Hey.
[Junko sobbing]
[man 1] When can we expect it?
We'll add another 10% next week.
That's your problem, right?
[man 2] It's okay. Sit down.
[man 1] I told you, that's not good enough.
What?
What do you mean you can't pay? Don't screw with me!
[groaning]
Please wait a little longer.
I used to make ten billion a year.
I told you, I'm sick of hearing you brag.
Ogiwara, how much is left?
Just under 100 million.
Are you sure you don't have anything left anywhere?
[panting]
Let's go, Sayaka.
-[Ogiwara] Come on. Hurry up. -Okay.
[ominous music playing]
[Muranishi yelping]
-[Muranishi] No! Don't! -Hold him!
Wait! Don't!
Sapphire!
At Sapphire! There's still money there!
[grunting]
Shut up. Don't talk.
Ogiwara, give him one last chance.
[panting]
[groans]
What are you looking at, you hag? Get the fuck out.
Isn't that guy famous? What was his name?
I remember! He's in a TV commercial!
[Ogiwara] Hey!
If you say a word about what you saw, I'll kill you.
Got it.
[whimpering]
Hey!
In this year's Diet session,
the Anti-Organized Crime Law will be passed
and put into effect next March.
To prepare for the proper implementation of this law,
we are launching the Anti-Organized Crime Law Preparation Office.
First, we must clarify who will be the target of the regulations.
The work of identifying organized crime groups is essential.
This law will allow us to put even more pressure on organized crime groups.
-Jesus, what a killjoy. -[man] What?
-[chief] I wish you success! -You've got to be kidding.
[chief] That is all! Dismissed!
[Takei] What a drag.
WANTED: TAKESHI KOMUKAI, AGE 23 YUKIKO NAGAO, AGE 38
[man] Good afternoon.
[Muranishi panting]
What's your problem? Are you my fan?
I'll give you my autograph, so you don't bother me anymore.
-Hey! -What?
Look at this.
That looks painful.
-Hey! -[chuckles]
[Muranishi] I'm an assault victim. Get on this right now!
Isn't it your job to save us virtuous citizens?
[Takei] You broke laws and sold uncensored videos.
You call yourself virtuous? Don't make me laugh.
[indistinct chatter]
[Muranishi] If you arrest them, I'll give you half my sales.
Half! Good offer, isn't it?
You are so finished.
I don't remember you being the kind to rely on others.
Anyway, you should celebrate.
There will be a new law in the spring.
This next one is pretty damn amazing.
Unbelievably, they're making a law just for getting organized crime under control.
You mean Furuya's gang, too?
Yes, I'm sure they'll disappear in about ten years.
Ten years.
If only they would leave it to me, I could get it done faster.
After all the fertilizer I've spread,
now I won't be able to harvest the benefits of it.
[indistinct chatter on radio]
Oh, well.
I guess I have to roll with the times.
All right, Muranishi.
Don't take your debts to your grave.
-[groans] -[laughs]
[siren wailing]
[man] If you don't pay the 200 grand by tomorrow,
I'll bury you on Mt. Takao!
Mt. Takao!
Hitomi?
This is for the hospital bills. Pay for them with this.
Thank you.
-I'm sorry for the sudden request. -It's okay.
I'm sorry, too.
Can you go to the hospital first without us?
I'll be there soon.
Hey. Why aren't you going with her?
You've got things to do after the hospital.
I'll call your cell phone if she wakes up.
Come when you can.
Junko, are you all right?
I'm just fine.
[light music playing]
Damn it.
Here.
Oh!
[Toshi] That reeks!
Jeez.
That's got to be bad for your health.
[Wada] I'm really glad you got back into business again.
[Kawada] It took a while, but now we can make videos again.
Even if it gets rough, don't go on the black market like some people.
You bet. That's one thing we'll never do, no matter what.
If we ever do anything like that, then stop doing business with us.
I like that attitude. I've got high expectations!
Thanks.
Oh, that's right!
-Have you seen this? -What?
This.
What is this?
You don't know?
[laughing]
You can see their pubes!
There's no more law against showing of pubic hair.
[Toshi] Holy shit!
[Wada] The standards for what's risqué have changed.
Wow!
We're entering an era
when famous actresses and stars pose nude like crazy.
These are called "hair nudes."
[Wada] These will sell like crazy.
[breathing heavily]
Hey, what's the matter? Are you all right?
This is freedom of sexuality.
It's a sexual revolution.
The world that Kuroki hoped for now exists!
What about that one?
It's like that here, too!
No way!
Their pubes are showing off.
Things always happen so fast!
-It's the same here, too. -No way!
The things we were doing…
[exclaiming]
…were right on target.
Oh, yes.
Good work.
I want all of these.
It's me. Mitamura.
Oh, Mitamura?
Why are you wearing that?
[Wada] Oh, that's right.
He's working for me now. He had no place to go.
Long time no see, Mr. Kawada.
-Yes. -You, too, Toshi.
Yes.
Okay!
[laughs]
You can talk more later.
I called you two here today,
because my chain of stores is considering producing its own original adult videos.
-Original videos? -That's right.
Videos don't sell as much as they used to.
Wholesalers are really undercutting us.
So we came up with the idea of making and selling them ourselves.
-We can even pay you a little. -We'll do it.
Hey. How can you say that so fast?
Excellent! That settles it. Make us some great ones.
We will.
[laughing]
-Hey. -What?
Sure, we can make them. But what are we going to make?
We'll make whatever we want.
Mr. Wada.
Let's show the world what's behind the censorship.
"What's behind the censorship"?
[both laugh]
-I'm looking forward to this. -Me, too.
All right. That settles it.
-Okay. Best of luck. -Yes, thanks.
Mitamura.
What?
-Here. Take that off. -What?
Get that off quickly now.
-Get that off. Give me that. -Okay.
You go with them.
I'll join you!
[Kawada] Fantastic.
Okay, let's go.
-Okay! -Thank you.
-I'm counting on you. -Sure.
See you.
This is great.
-This is my movie. -Oh, is that right?
-Yes. This one. -I walked out with these.
It will be fine. Okay, let's do this!

[Nogi moaning]
[moaning stops]
To be honest, I was disappointed.
All my plans were thrown into shambles.
It sucks.
My life's been so ruined, it's not even funny.
But…
I don't regret coming here.
It was only for a short while,
but it was a lot of fun.
It was exactly what I needed back then.
I think Ms. Kuroki was really the only one for you.
From the start, Ms. Kuroki knew exactly what I was up to.
She understood you…
far more than I ever did.
[Nogi] I could never surpass Kaoru Kuroki.
[Nogi] Bye.
I'm sure we'll see each other again sometime.
[downbeat music playing]
-[man 1] Did she die? -[man 2] I don't know.
[man 1] "She jumped from her home, breaking her skull and both legs"?

-Can I ask you some questions? -Mr. Muranishi, comment, please!
-Was this an accident or a crime? -Any comment?
Tell us how you're feeling!
-Comment, please! -[guard] Stop!
-Mr. Muranishi! -[guard] Oh, God!
Wait! Excuse me! Where are you going?
Mr. Muranishi.
Why did you come here?
Stay away from Kuroki!
It's too late to do anything for her now!
Do you have any idea how much she was looking forward to your new video?
Do you know how much she trusted you?
You trampled on all of that!
And it wasn't just you.
Even I knew that Kuroki was suffering all along.
Is everything all right?
Yes. I'm sorry.
[nurse] Please don't shout.
Mr. Muranishi.

-Holy Mary, Mother of God… -[Muranishi breathing heavily]
…pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Holy Mary, Mother of God…
-[reporter] Mr. Muranishi! -Mr. Muranishi, can you talk now?
Can you talk now?
Mr. Muranishi, what was the cause of her suicide?
Did it have anything to do with your collapsed relationship?
There are rumors that she had become an alcoholic.
Weren't you the cause?
…now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
[actress 1] We're going!
[Mitamura] Okay, please get ready!
-[actress 2] We're going. -[Mitamura] Okay, get ready.
[Naoko] Why me?
[actress 3] I'm coming.
Don't forget anything.
[actress 4] Bye!
Is everything okay? We're going!
I got your jacket!
[Kawada] Mr. Muranishi, let's do our best as always.
Mitamura, this will sell for sure.
-[Mitamura] You think so? -Yes.

[Mitamura] Hey.
What do you think you're doing? Hey, you're…

You can't do this.
You can't have that!
[Toshi] Hey.
Hey!
Damn you, what's your fucking problem?
Hey!
[Kawada] Were you going to sell this?
Say something!

That's the one thing I can't remember.

Yes, but it'll be fine if we saw him up.
