*I have a big gun*
**[00:40] ---**
*I took it from my Lord*
**[00:42] ---**
*Sick with Justice*
**[00:43] ---**
*I just wanna feel you*
**[00:45] ---**
*I'm your angel*
**[00:47] ---**
*Only a ring away*
**[00:49] ---**
*You make me violate you*
**[00:51] ---**
*No matter who you are*
**[00:59] ---**
*It's all up to you*
**[01:01] ---**
*No one lives forever*
**[01:02] ---**
*Been burn in the hell*
**[01:04] ---**
*By all those pigs out there*
**[01:06] ---**
*It's always been hell*
**[01:07] ---**
*From when I was born*
**[01:09] ---**
*They make me violate them*
**[01:11] ---**
*No matter who they are*
**[01:12] ---**
*Get down on your knees*
**[01:14] ---**
*Get a good head on your shoulders*
**[01:16] ---**
*If it's for your guys*
**[01:17] ---**
*Go to the end of the earth*
**[01:19] ---**
*Do what you think*
**[01:21] ---**
*Give it with dedication*
**[01:22] ---**
*I'll put out your misery*
**[01:26] ---**
*You made a mess*
**[01:27] ---**
*For Christ sakes, this rotten world*
**[01:29] ---**
*Shit out of luck*
**[01:31] ---**
*Go with my vision*
**[01:33] ---**
*Light up the fire*
**[01:34] ---**
*Right on the power*
**[01:36] ---**
*Weapon... I have it all*
**[01:44] ---**
*Weapon... I have it all*
**[02:02] ---**
Right? I told you so.
Let's go again sometime.
**[02:04] ---**
Sure.
**[02:11] ---**
--Hey.
**[02:11] ---**
--Who the hell are you?!
**[02:29] ---**
Sorry, Miss.
**[02:32] ---**
This probably isn't a very
amusing place for a woman.
**[02:35] ---**
No bother. But I do rather
dislike noisy places.
**[02:40] ---**
The Kousa clan is on the move.
**[02:42] ---**
Here in Roppongi, we don't
stand out like a sore thumb.
**[02:45] ---**
Our neutralization of enemy targets
is proceeding according to plan.
**[02:49] ---**
But the Kousa clan is a very large outfit.
**[02:52] ---**
We need to go further to squeeze them.
**[02:55] ---**
We move on to phase two
and institute a shift.
**[02:59] ---**
A shift?
**[03:00] ---**
Yes, we shift gears.
**[03:02] ---**
First, we clamp down on
their income sources,
**[03:05] ---**
retailers, entertainment venues,
waste management.
**[03:08] ---**
Those guys aren't amateurs.
**[03:10] ---**
If we keep this up, they're bound
to notice what we're doing.
**[03:13] ---**
This is just to rattle their cage, of course.
**[03:16] ---**
Our main target is something else.
**[03:18] ---**
What do you mean?
**[03:22] ---**
We will resort to a tactic
that works in every nation.
**[03:35] ---**
Abduction. An abduction, Mr. Bando.
**[03:38] ---**
We'll target the family of the
Kousa clan head, Masami Kousa.
**[03:44] ---**
B-Boss!
**[03:45] ---**
I hate to dampen the mood,
but that's the one thing you can't do.
**[03:48] ---**
What was that?
**[03:50] ---**
He said, "We can't do that."
**[03:52] ---**
What we are looking for is a fight where
the Kousa clan loosens their grip.
**[03:57] ---**
Just make a ruckus for a while.
**[04:01] ---**
Don't go overboard and make
things difficult for us later on.
**[04:09] ---**
Did you hear that, Sergeant?
They don't get it at all.
**[04:12] ---**
Rock, translate this carefully, okay?
**[04:17] ---**
Mr. Bando.
**[04:20] ---**
We will employ any means
necessary to secure profits.
**[04:24] ---**
We are taking on most of the risks here.
**[04:29] ---**
Therefore, the decision-making
belongs to us, not you.
**[04:37] ---**
W-Wait a minute.
**[04:41] ---**
Oh, it's you, Rumi.
**[04:44] ---**
I told you not to call me at
this time of day. Huh? Prada?
**[04:48] ---**
I don't want any. I've got
enough to sell. You talk too much.
**[04:53] ---**
Watch it or I'll take two of your teeth
out later. Huh? Then get false teeth.
**[04:56] ---**
--I gotta go.
--Chaka! What the hell are you doing?!
**[05:00] ---**
Don't you realize what we're
talking about here, you idiot?!
**[05:03] ---**
Oh, sorry about that. That stupid bitch.
**[05:05] ---**
Get outta here!
**[05:06] ---**
--Yeah, sure. I'll go.
**[05:07] ---**
--I apologize for making a scene.
**[05:12] ---**
"Martin Heidegger's *Holzwege"*
**[05:13] ---**
Oh, Yukio, you're still here.
**[05:16] ---**
Hi, Maki. Oh, my. Look at the time.
**[05:20] ---**
What are you reading now, Yukio?
**[05:23] ---**
This? Martin Heidegger.
**[05:26] ---**
It's philosophical, but
very powerful. I like it.
**[05:30] ---**
I'll pass on it. I like skincare
guides and modern horror books.
**[05:34] ---**
You did say you like Anne Rice.
**[05:37] ---**
What do you like for light reading, Yukio?
**[05:41] ---**
Let's see. Umm...
**[05:44] ---**
Never mind. It's all right.
Forget that I asked.
**[05:47] ---**
What you were just thinking about
probably wasn't light reading at all.
**[05:53] ---**
You think so? I like any book that
makes me feel like I'm out in the sea.
**[05:59] ---**
Swallowing knowledge and
emotion and everything else.
**[06:03] ---**
Endlessly expanding, yet
somewhat different from reality.
**[06:09] ---**
I think that's what I like.
**[06:10] ---**
I see.
**[06:12] ---**
I can't get into reading the
difficult ones. How about King?
**[06:17] ---**
I don't care for scary novels.
**[06:19] ---**
Really? That's a bit surprising.
I would've thought you'd like Poe.
**[06:24] ---**
I don't like the ones that
make you imagine the night.
**[06:28] ---**
So dark and lonely and sorrowful.
I don't like the night.
**[06:35] ---**
I get really scared, thinking I'll
be sucked into this darkness.
**[06:39] ---**
It's not romantic. Not at all.
**[06:51] ---**
I hear we've got trouble.
**[06:53] ---**
They're waiting for you.
**[06:56] ---**
Target 012 confirmed.
**[06:58] ---**
012 confirmed.
**[07:00] ---**
Can't I have a little more time
before you go ahead with that?
**[07:03] ---**
Of course I'll wait, so long as it does
not interfere with the operation.
**[07:07] ---**
So that we can raise a toast to each other.
**[07:11] ---**
Hey, Mr. Taka. What's with that girl?
**[07:15] ---**
You idiot! Haven't you
learned your lesson yet?
**[07:18] ---**
It's not what you think.
**[07:20] ---**
She's that skinny interpreter's
bodyguard. From Roanapur.
**[07:25] ---**
What? She's a woman and she
can fight?! Are you serious?!
**[07:29] ---**
Chaka, you idiot! Cut it out! They're guests!
**[07:34] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:35] ---**
I know, Mr. Taka. But you'd like to
see what she can do, wouldn't you?
**[07:41] ---**
Can't we go home yet?
**[07:43] ---**
It's time for socializing now.
**[07:46] ---**
What a waste of time.
**[07:48] ---**
Don't complain, Revy.
**[07:50] ---**
It's a way to keep things moving smoothly.
**[07:52] ---**
If it takes care of things without incident,
then it's a small price to pay.
**[07:55] ---**
I don't understand it. It'd be
faster to make them drink...
**[08:02] ---**
...cresol cocktails.
**[08:03] ---**
Oh, there she is.
**[08:08] ---**
So, I hear you're a gunman.
**[08:13] ---**
I don't speak no stinking
Japanese. Speak English.
**[08:17] ---**
Oh, right. How's this,
then? This is my place.
**[08:20] ---**
Can't run a place like this
without speaking English.
**[08:23] ---**
Hey, cutie. You from Roanapur, right?
**[08:26] ---**
Rumor says that place has more bad-ass
motherfuckers than a supermax prison.
**[08:31] ---**
Hey. Have you ever shot anyone?
I've shot about ten guys.
**[08:37] ---**
Romeo. Can I tell you one thing?
**[08:43] ---**
Your breath stinks, dimwit.
**[08:47] ---**
I can smell it over your cologne.
Your insides are rotten.
**[08:52] ---**
Revy. Revy, let's go.
Miss Balalaika is waiting. Come on.
**[08:59] ---**
Hey, Mr. Interpreter.
Can't you tell? We're talking.
**[09:03] ---**
Please don't barge in.
**[09:05] ---**
Revy. Go on ahead.
Go back and get Mr. Bando or--
**[09:10] ---**
Hey! Who do you think you are?!
**[09:14] ---**
Don't you ignore me. When I snap,
I have trouble controlling myself.
**[09:19] ---**
Hey! You listening?! Hey!
**[09:24] ---**
Hey, lady. He's getting beat up
pretty bad. Not very cool, is it?
**[09:29] ---**
Why not give me a try? You can't be
satisfied being with a weakling like this.
**[09:36] ---**
Well?! Bastard!
**[09:38] ---**
Say something!
**[09:40] ---**
What the hell are you doing,
Chaka?! What is this?!
**[09:44] ---**
This is not the time or place for this!
**[09:46] ---**
We were just playing around.
Come on, Mr. Yoshida.
**[09:49] ---**
I'm terribly sorry.
I'll have a talk with him later.
**[09:52] ---**
An incompetent officer and a
soldier who ignores orders.
**[09:56] ---**
I can hardly stand it, Sergeant.
**[09:58] ---**
It would have been better
if it were a battlefield.
**[10:00] ---**
They'd be killed off in battle and discarded.
**[10:03] ---**
Sorry, Rock.
**[10:05] ---**
He had his hand on his gun the whole time.
**[10:08] ---**
He wasn't after me. He wanted you to draw.
**[10:10] ---**
You're beginning to develop a soul of
diamond. You're absolutely right, Rock.
**[10:13] ---**
I may need my Cutlass, after all.
**[10:18] ---**
Hey, Revy!
**[10:19] ---**
I don't plan on starting anything.
**[10:21] ---**
But at some point, that guy
will turn his gun on us.
**[10:25] ---**
He is a pea brain who can't
tell his ass from his head.
**[10:28] ---**
Let's accept his challenge.
We'll just wait until then, Rock.
**[10:32] ---**
When that time comes,
I'll kill him, for sure.
**[10:37] ---**
Boss.
**[10:40] ---**
Would you please pass me the miso?
**[10:43] ---**
Sure. We don't have enough power
to shut the Kousa clan up.
**[10:48] ---**
It was a good plan, despite the
Peacekeeping Council's decision.
**[10:51] ---**
I thought money would take care of
matters instead of reasoning with them.
**[10:56] ---**
But because of those Russians...
**[10:59] ---**
Boss, the sweetened sake, please.
**[11:01] ---**
Here you go.
**[11:03] ---**
Honestly, this isn't good.
**[11:06] ---**
Is there anything else you need, Benny?
**[11:08] ---**
Thanks a lot. You're a great help.
**[11:10] ---**
I prefer not to go through
the black market in Bangkok.
**[11:14] ---**
Oh yeah, Revy wanted something.
**[11:17] ---**
She wants you to send her Sword Cutlass.
**[11:20] ---**
A troubling request, I must say.
**[11:21] ---**
Is a storm brewing?
**[11:23] ---**
I don't know yet.
**[11:24] ---**
But I sure hope not.
**[11:26] ---**
So do I. I'll take care of it.
**[11:28] ---**
Thanks.
**[11:28] ---**
Due to difficulties caused by the snow,
**[11:29] ---**
"Yoyogi"
**[11:30] ---**
trains in both directions aren't running.
**[11:32] ---**
This isn't good. I guess I'll get a cab.
**[11:36] ---**
We apologize for the inconvenience.
**[11:38] ---**
--...the other day...
**[11:38] ---**
--You're from...
**[11:45] ---**
Yeah, it's been a while since
I experienced the cold.
**[11:47] ---**
Well, with you being from a subtropical zone.
**[11:50] ---**
Have you gone home yet, Mr. Okajima?
**[11:53] ---**
Home? Well...
**[11:56] ---**
To be honest, I don't really wanna go home.
**[12:00] ---**
Mr. Okajima, you're like the old me.
**[12:03] ---**
I used to hate my home.
**[12:06] ---**
But I realized it's the place to return to.
**[12:11] ---**
I have a family that raised me.
**[12:14] ---**
You have your head on straight
for someone your age.
**[12:17] ---**
My friends say I'm like an old lady.
**[12:21] ---**
Ah, no, that's not what I mean!
**[12:24] ---**
I'm kidding.
**[12:27] ---**
I don't have anything like that.
**[12:31] ---**
I feel like I'm just hanging in between.
**[12:34] ---**
I feel too attached to just discard it,
**[12:37] ---**
but I don't have the resolution
to go forward.
**[12:41] ---**
A certain Frenchman said
that people are like dice.
**[12:48] ---**
You throw yourself in the
direction of your choice.
**[12:53] ---**
People are free because they
have the ability to do that.
**[12:56] ---**
Everyone's circumstances are different,
but no matter how small the choice,
**[13:00] ---**
at the very least, you can throw yourself.
**[13:03] ---**
It's not chance or fate. It's the
result of the choice you make.
**[13:09] ---**
What do you think?
**[13:10] ---**
You can be pretty harsh.
**[13:13] ---**
Excuse me for a moment.
**[13:15] ---**
Yes, this is Yukio. Oh,
it's you, Gin. I know.
**[13:19] ---**
You worry too much.
**[13:23] ---**
Yes. I'm out of the snow with Mr. Okajima.
**[13:27] ---**
You know, the person we met at the festival.
**[13:29] ---**
Miss.
**[13:30] ---**
Yes? What is it?
**[13:33] ---**
Today...
**[13:34] ---**
What? Mr. Bando's there?
Then I'd better hurry home.
**[13:38] ---**
Yes. I understand.
**[13:41] ---**
I'm sorry, Mr. Okajima. I've gotta go.
**[13:44] ---**
Yukio. Um...
**[13:46] ---**
Yes?
**[13:47] ---**
Well... I hadn't asked yet
what your last name is.
**[13:53] ---**
Right. It's Washimine. Sounds
pretty solemn, doesn't it?
**[14:11] ---**
I'm against this.
**[14:13] ---**
This has nothing to do with the Miss.
**[14:17] ---**
Imagine if the Peacekeeping
Council heard about this.
**[14:20] ---**
Not only would they not
allow us to rebuild our clan,
**[14:22] ---**
they'd kick us out of the region.
**[14:26] ---**
Miss!
**[14:27] ---**
You were already home.
**[14:29] ---**
I apologize for not noticing.
**[14:31] ---**
Mr. Bando. About what you
were just talking about...
**[14:39] ---**
Well then, Miss...
**[14:46] ---**
As soon as the old man passed on,
**[14:49] ---**
they immediately came to us
about not having a boss.
**[14:52] ---**
They said they'd accept
anyone of direct relation.
**[14:54] ---**
Idiots, they knew very
well what that would mean.
**[14:56] ---**
Then...
**[14:57] ---**
That's right. A direct relation.
**[14:59] ---**
You, Miss, are the only one.
Those dirty bastards.
**[15:03] ---**
And they'll slowly come
to strangle us with it.
**[15:09] ---**
Yoshida?
**[15:10] ---**
Boss! Is it you, Boss?!
**[15:12] ---**
I got a tail behind me.
And it's not anyone local.
**[15:16] ---**
Boss!
**[15:17] ---**
They're from higher up.
**[15:19] ---**
When I get the chance, I'll lose
them and head to a hideout.
**[15:24] ---**
Boss! The Russians aren't holding back!
**[15:27] ---**
They blew up a car in front of a police
station when a man from Kousa
**[15:30] ---**
tried to turn himself in!
**[15:34] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:35] ---**
What are those evil bastards thinking?!
**[15:38] ---**
I hear you. I'll contact you again.
**[15:40] ---**
Boss!
**[15:41] ---**
Prepare for some trouble, and clean up.
**[15:45] ---**
Anything from the Washimine clan?
**[15:47] ---**
Nothing yet.
**[15:49] ---**
This is a waste of time.
**[15:50] ---**
Earlier, at 0600 hours,
**[15:52] ---**
a detective approached the
Washimine office for information.
**[15:57] ---**
It's only a matter of time
until we're discovered.
**[15:59] ---**
Tell the main unit to move
to the Maria Zeleska.
**[16:02] ---**
Yes, ma'am. What should we tell Laptev?
**[16:04] ---**
There's no need to tell him anything.
**[16:06] ---**
Um, Miss Balalaika.
**[16:09] ---**
What is it?
**[16:10] ---**
Well, um...
**[16:12] ---**
What if the Washimine clan
abandons the agreement?
**[16:16] ---**
Rock!
**[16:17] ---**
Does it concern you in any way?
**[16:19] ---**
No
**[16:20] ---**
That's right.
**[16:21] ---**
Don't misinterpret your position in this.
**[16:24] ---**
Hey, Sis. You're not being too nice.
**[16:27] ---**
It's not really a secret,
so why not tell him?
**[16:31] ---**
You're certainly taking his side,
Two-Hands. Silence is golden.
**[16:35] ---**
That's true, but Rock's on our side, right?
Trusting each other is important, too.
**[16:40] ---**
You've become a much better talker, I see.
**[16:43] ---**
All right, fine. Let's suppose they
did something stupid like that.
**[16:47] ---**
Then we'd have one more name
to add to our target list.
**[16:50] ---**
Our job won't change and the
world will continue the same.
**[16:53] ---**
It's as simple as that.
**[16:55] ---**
"Reading Room"
**[16:56] ---**
Yuki!
**[16:57] ---**
I'm sorry. We'll stay late
with you to help next time.
**[17:00] ---**
Goodbye.
**[17:01] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[17:03] ---**
Take it easy at work.
**[17:04] ---**
So, Yukio, my last finals were really bad,
**[17:08] ---**
and Mom made a big fuss about
wanting me to quit my job...
**[17:14] ---**
Gin. I am involved in this.
**[17:18] ---**
I was raised in this house. I am the
daughter of Ryuzo Washimine.
**[17:22] ---**
...and she would keep
nagging me to quit my job...
**[17:26] ---**
About that guy, Okajima.
**[17:29] ---**
He is involved in this matter.
On the Russian's side.
**[17:33] ---**
Yukio! Yukio!
**[17:35] ---**
Come on. Are you listening to me at all?
**[17:39] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[17:40] ---**
Really.
**[17:40] ---**
This is a big concern for me.
**[17:44] ---**
You know, Maki...
**[17:48] ---**
What is it?
**[17:51] ---**
No. Never mind. On second thought,
discussing it isn't gonna help.
**[17:55] ---**
Come on, don't leave me hanging like that!
**[18:15] ---**
Boss!
**[18:17] ---**
Oh, it's you, Yoshida.
**[18:19] ---**
I'm just out for a walk. There's
nothing interesting about it.
**[18:22] ---**
Bro! You're off to meet
the Russians, aren't you?!
**[18:25] ---**
It's been a long time
since you called me Bro.
**[18:28] ---**
B-Bro! I'll go too!
**[18:31] ---**
Yoshida. Take this.
**[18:33] ---**
Ask Gin about what to do next.
You may not like him, but he's a good man.
**[18:45] ---**
Bro!
**[18:47] ---**
Well then, goodbye.
**[18:51] ---**
Or something like that.
**[18:59] ---**
When did this happen?
**[19:01] ---**
This morning.
**[19:02] ---**
There was a suitcase sitting in front of
our office. Those goddamned Russians!
**[19:07] ---**
Yoshida, no matter who did it,
it would've ended this way.
**[19:11] ---**
We had to do something about Kousa.
**[19:16] ---**
The boss was just too smart
for his own good. That's all.
**[19:19] ---**
What do we do now?!
**[19:21] ---**
Dark and lonely.
**[19:24] ---**
The snowy night sky.
**[19:35] ---**
Stop right there! You low-life!
**[19:43] ---**
Rock!
**[19:44] ---**
I want you to translate this
in strong, blunt Japanese.
**[19:48] ---**
B-But...
**[19:51] ---**
Tonight, I'll tell you about the truth.
**[19:54] ---**
What I seek is destruction and domination.
**[19:57] ---**
I don't have any interest in anything else.
**[19:59] ---**
I'm only interested in how much
I can dance in the pit of Hell.
**[20:05] ---**
See you, eventually.
**[20:08] ---**
Hey! Hey, Rock! Are you all right?!
**[20:12] ---**
You're sweating like crazy.
**[20:14] ---**
Was I asleep?
**[20:15] ---**
You were breathing like an old Buick engine.
**[20:19] ---**
It's not good to drink so heavily.
**[20:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:21] ---**
It's about to get wild.
**[20:24] ---**
We're moving.
**[20:25] ---**
Moving?
**[20:26] ---**
The Visotoniki are splitting
up into two groups,
**[20:28] ---**
the cargo ship and the Russian Embassy.
**[20:29] ---**
So, this is really gonna be war.
**[20:32] ---**
Sure it is. Hotel Moscow is serious.
**[20:35] ---**
A storm is coming, Rock.
A storm of steel and blood.
**[20:40] ---**
You're planning on going, aren't you, Gin?
**[20:43] ---**
If only I walk a path in the sun,
**[20:46] ---**
you'll all end up wandering in darkness.
**[20:50] ---**
Miss. You mustn't.
**[20:52] ---**
I can't run from this.
**[20:56] ---**
Now, I feel the night inside of you, Gin.
**[21:01] ---**
There's body warmth. Very sorrowful,
but therefore, not cold.
**[21:06] ---**
Miss. I...
**[21:09] ---**
I wanted you to walk the path of a human
**[21:11] ---**
and get hold of honest happiness.
**[21:14] ---**
To this day, I have lived
for that reason only.
**[21:18] ---**
Kousa's rats and the Russian villains.
**[21:21] ---**
They're all trying to ruin us!
**[21:26] ---**
We will do what we can,
even if it's on our own.
**[21:29] ---**
If they will accept me on equal
terms, then it shall be me.
**[21:34] ---**
Hey, Ginji.
**[21:38] ---**
The snowy night is beautiful.
**[21:40] ---**
This is the first time I ever thought that.
**[21:44] ---**
Ginji.
**[21:45] ---**
Will you protect me, Ginji?
**[21:52] ---**
Though unworthy, I am Ginji Matsuzaki,
lieutenant of the Washimine Clan.
**[21:58] ---**
Allow me to protect you with
all seven of my incarnations!
**[22:05] ---**
People are just like dice.
**[22:07] ---**
"Man is, before all else,
something which propels itself"
**[22:08] ---**
We throw ourselves into our lives.
**[23:41] ---**
"Next episode"
**[23:42] ---**
Gin. This is your first job.
Please work cautiously.
**[23:46] ---**
Let's take care of this quickly.
