[cloth rustles]
[Azami sighs]
[clanking]
[thuds]
[grunts]
[breathes shakily]
[grunts]
[bites]
[Kirishima groans]
[KIRISHIMA]
I know you.
You're Azami Suo!
[Azami chuckles]
[bottle shatters]
[straining]
[Minami grunts]
What are you doin'
on Osaka turf, curly?
I'm pretty sure
you're a Tokyo boy.
I mean, that's not
where I was born, so no.
You Yakuza are all the same,
constantly laser-focused
on your territories.
[Minami groans]
[groans]
[crashes]
[YOSHINO] Your right!
Right, right, right!
Not there!
Over here!
[Naoya groans]
[Ozu breathing shakily]
[OZU]
sh*t.
[YOSHINO]
Hello again, Ozu.
[gasps]
Still feelin' thirsty, champ?
Got plenty to talk about
while we go for another round.
TO BE YOU TO MARRY I
WANT HONEST, PART THREE
[YOSHINO] Enough!
Give it a rest!
[KIRISHIMA]
Come on, I just wanna
sew it a tiny, little bit!
Yeah, no.
I'll sew it up myself later!
But it's a gaping tear that
goes all the way up your leg.
You don't wanna go
flashing your panties, right?
[YOSHINO]
I ain't flashin' sh*t!
And where did you even get
a needle
and thread from anyway?
I stopped
at a convenience store
on the way here.
Oh,
I also bought some ice to
make a cold compress for you.
Will you quit
with dang the naggin' already?
[sighs]
Your skirt aside,
I won't ever understand
how anyone could hit a face
that looks
as gorgeous as yours!
Thought you got
that out of your system
with the beating you gave him!
[YOSHINO] The creep might
really be dead this time.
[glass thuds]
Uh!
[lighter clicks]
Wow.
That's a real 180
from the guy
I was drinking with before.
So, hi.
You may have guessed,
but I'm not Mai Suzuki.
I'm Yoshino.
Based on how well
you seem to know Kirishima,
surely you've heard of me.
Nao couldn't be here
with us tonight,
but you don't care
if I handle this on her behalf.
Since I'm the reason
you were blackmailing her,
I feel like it's only right.
The reason for what now?
Why would he blackmail her
'cause of you?
I figured you'd be aware.
What all do you actually
know about this?
[YOSHINO]
I know about Room 2051
at the Grand Residence in Kobe.
Tch!
The place Ozu and his g*ons
made their hideout.
Very swanky digs, rich boy.
Rent there must be k*ller.
[inhales]
I'll admit it took
way too much work
to track you
and your band of losers,
but since all Kirishima knew
was that
you lived somewhere in Kobe,
I'll still take a kudo
or two for locating you.
[YOSHINO]
After a three-hour stakeout,
I spotted a car
with a Tokyo license plate.
Decided to tail it and was led
straight to this hotel.
Imagine my surprise
when the sleazeballs
Shiori Akaza hired stepped out.
I had no clue what you were
doin' with 'em, Ozu.
but I assumed
if they were in Osaka,
there was a good chance
they were lookin'
to get back at Kirishima.
So, I called him
to get him up to speed
and the rest
snowballed from there.
That's pretty much all I know.
That isn't
where this story ends.
Once you got off
the phone with me,
what'd you do to keep Ozu
from leaving the hotel?
Oh, I went up real flirty-like
and asked if he wanted
to grab a quick bite.
Un-freaking-believable.
Ozu, what kind of saint
were you in a past life
to get hit on by her?
No fair.
- [YOSHINO] You're
the unbelievable one. -Tch!
- Hm?
- Hm?
[OZU]
Sorry, detectives,
but there's been
a big misunderstanding.
For starters,
I haven't blackmailed anybody.
I heard about Miyama and Nao
so all that I'm guilty of
is being apprehensive, I guess.
I was worried
she'd ruin her whole career
for the sake
of a couple of good lays.
- Yeah, that tracks.
- [Kirishima laughs nervously]
Look, I just wanted to
be friends with her again,
nothing more and nothing less.
If you think
I'd ever extort her,
then you're delusional.
Getting with a Yakuza's
grandson is one thing,
but doing it
before starting a job
with a ton of media scrutiny
is straight up brainless.
When you screw a Yakuza,
you're actually
just screwing yourself.
Hmm?
Hang on a sec.
Uh.
We used to date, too,
and with that kind of history
comes a certain
protective instinct.
Like, there was no way
I wasn't going to
at least voice my concerns.
Man, hearing you BS like that
makes me
even more impressed with you.
Hm?
You manage
to skirt all the rules,
and when you almost
cross the line,
you ensure you never
leave any evidence.
And the reason I know that
is 'cause I was
looking for dirt on you.
But your record's
as clean as a whistle.
[chuckles softly]
There's no denying
how thorough you are
when it comes
to being cautious.
It's too bad
the same doesn't hold true
for your parents.
Oh?
On the surface,
both of their records
look as pristine as yours does.
Your dad's
a big business executive
and your mom's a freelance
news reporter and announcer.
And according to
an online article I read,
we're gonna see her
as a main anchor
for a show starting this fall.
With their baby boy maturing
and starting
his own career path,
you really are the model family
from any angle.
Except for one, maybe.
Poor timing on her part.
[SAKIKO'S PARTNER]
Don't you need to go?
[Sakiko breathing heavily]
[SAKIKO] It's fine.
I said I was working.
[SAKIKO'S PARTNER]
You're too sexy
to have a kid in college,
Sakiko.
[SAKIKO] Oh, come on.
Don't start.
- [SAKIKO'S PARTNER] It's true.
- [Sakiko laughs]
[Ozu grunts]
Yeah.
So messed up, right?
I mean,
that is your mommy, isn't it?
I promise I wasn't the guy
in the video
but I did arrange it.
You as*h*le!
[KIRISHIMA]
What are you mad about?
Your whole business model
revolves around setting up
encounters like that.
But, instead of preying
on the women
from your dad's agency,
I got in touch
with your mother.
Now, let's recap.
The punks you brought to Osaka
and the brains behind
the operation are gone.
You're the only one left.
[breathes heavily]
So you're gonna
agree to get rid
of all your scandalous info
on Nao Shiota
and never contact her again.
Erasing that might make me
consider erasing this.
[sighs]
[OZU] You're so convinced
you've got me beat
but all I have to do
is go to the cops
and tell them the Yakuza
are threatening me.
[exhales]
I'm not like you
bottom tier trash,
so people will listen
when I talk,
and you know
my word would trump yours.
I could easily ruin your lives,
but if you wanna see how bad,
go ahead.
- Hm?
- Hm?
- Hm.
- Hm.
I'm actually in a position
to ruin your life, too, Ozu.
Huh?
Okay.
While giving alcohol to a minor
and then pressuring her
to drink
isn't the worst offense,
it sure ain't good.
It'll still dirty up
your spotless reputation
if I make enough of a fuss.
What?
When did I do that?
Earlier tonight, you told me
to have a few drinks with you, remember?
Then you pressured me
when I started to refuse.
Bottom line,
you gave me alcohol.
Which is kind of a big deal
since I'm still underage.
What?
Underage?
There's no way in hell
you aren't old enough to drink!
It says my birthday
right here on my ID,
so shut your stupid face,
dickhead!
And I don't know
why you bothered playing
the "I'll ruin your lives"
card, anyway.
I think
you're missing the plot.
You couldn't ruin our lives
if you tried.
The only people
that kind of threat might scare
are the ones
who have a whole lot to lose,
like you do.
But me?
I ain't got a damn thing that
I'm not willin' to part with.
[gasps]
[YOSHINO] I dare you
to try and wreck our lives.
Go right ahead.
Because it'll give me
all the reason I need
to put a total end to yours.
[breathes shakily]
Well, there you have it,
tough guy.
You end us, and we'll end you.
So whaddaya say?
Agree to our terms and take
the easy way out of this,
or decline?
Surely you realize which is
the smartest move you can make,
considering all the headaches
you've given me
over the past few months.
[sighs]
[OZU]
All right.
What's all right?
I don't ever wanna
see your shitty faces again,
so I'll leave you guys alone.
And that also goes
for Nao Shiota.
[grunts]
[NAO]
You better mean it.
Because you're on record.
♪
[sighs]
I can't even remember
the last time
I saw you this beat up, Shoma.
Good grief.
How badass was he?
Not much.
[YOSHINO] Ah, guess your ego
got bruised, too.
I can't believe you used
this hunk of junk
to tail them here.
Why?
♪
Aren't spies
supposed to be subtle?
[YOSHINO]
It ain't like I'm a pro!
[SHOMA] But who would
tail someone in a mini-truck?
I didn't want anyone noticin'
I left the house
and this was
all that I could find!
So sue me!
[YOSHINO]
Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.
- Tch!
- Excuse you!
Why didn't you answer
your phone
when I called before?
Hm?
Um, I just
got wrapped up.
- [Shoma sighs]
- To be honest with you,
I didn't expect Kirishima
to drag you into all of this.
And even after
I found out he did,
I assumed you'd be fine.
If there's one thing I know
you're good at, it's fightin'.
Then you went and got
your a*s handed to you.
- [SHOMA] Huh?
- It was a joke!
I was just kidding!
[sighs]
Anyway, who were those guys?
- [SHOMA] Which guys?
- From the karaoke place.
Were they Yakuza?
[SHOMA] Three were
typical bag-snatchers,
but one dude had a Yakuza vibe.
Hm.
[SHOMA]
So this Ozu kid,
he's the son of
an Embrace Productions VIP,
ain't he?
Yeah.
Why?
'Cause that place has had ties
to the Tokusa clan
for a good while now.
So they're like a front?
Kirishima helps 'em out,
or I guess the Miyama family
if you wanna get technical.
Meaning if the guy
I fought was Yakuza,
then he ain't
with the Tokusa clan.
Huh.
That's more than
I would've thought you knew.
The real question is
why did these guys
have to act in Osaka?
Seems really
out of the way for them.
I figured that sorry squad
was out for revenge
as soon as I recognized them,
and Ozu was just
stuck with the bill.
Whether or not
he had beef with Kirishima,
I didn't know.
[OZU]
And so there I was,
stressing over how
I'd explain it all to my dad
without him
getting on my case about it.
When my guardian gangster
reached out to me.
Now I'm thinking someone else
threatened Ozu
into reluctantly
footing the bill for this job.
But that still doesn't explain
why they had to strike
while we were in Osaka.
[SHOMA]
Hmm.
I'm trying to warn you
about the infighting
that'll erupt soon.
[SHOMA]
How much do you remember
about what you heard?
[YOSHINO]
A bit.
[exhales]
Mind telling me
all the finer details
about it later on?
Oh.
I guess I could do that.
♪
[NAO]
Do you think this will help
or is it useless?
At this point, I'm gonna have
to say that it's the latter.
But I wouldn't stress.
I'm fairly confident
Ozu-kins got the idea.
Messing with you would
cause him a world of trouble
and he's not that stupid.
He's got a college education,
after all.
[NAO]
Hmm.
[KIRISHIMA] Still, I'd stay out
of the shadows if I were you.
This is one of those instances
where having your face and name
in public view is safer.
I would've done that
without your advice.
Do you always act like
you're the smartest guy
in the room?
Kinda amazed that
Yoshino girl puts up with you.
Which reminds me,
there was something
I wanted to ask you about.
[NAO]
And that would be?
So, when you met Yoshino,
did she happen
to name drop me at all?
- What?
- Since you talked long enough
to exchange contacts with her.
I wondered if the conversation
ever veered off toward me.
[NAO]
In what type of way?
Maybe like,
how I'm a real scumbag,
but also super-hot?
Not that she'd say that.
I think you mean super moronic.
But, no. She didn't say
anything even remotely close.
So wipe that
hopeful look off your face.
Your chances with her
seem pretty grim.
I should've
guessed as much, heh.
Cut your losses now
and give up on her.
That girl is way
too dumb for you
and has a nasty attitude.
Just saying is all.
Hm.
[NAO]
She's nothing like the girls
I know you've been with.
Hard to believe your taste
in women changed that much.
I don't get it.
[KIRISHIMA]
And yet, she's the dumb one.
It's true that you're smart,
cute, considerate,
and on top of it all,
you're great in the sack.
Thing is, though
I want Yoshino.
I'd crawl in bed with
total strangers for her sake,
so don't think
you're something special.
[gasps]
[thwacks]
Huh?
[chuckles softly]
You baited me into hitting you.
Aw, you could tell?
[car revving]
Delete my info from your phone
because we won't
see each other ever again.
I was already planning
to delete all the accounts
I used to contact you.
You won't have
to worry 'bout me.
You know
you really are an awful person.
- [YOSHINO] Oh! Hey!
- Hm?
I was looking for
you.
Huh!
Hmph!
INDEPENDENT TAXI
[car accelerates]
[KIRISHIMA]
You're alone.
Where did
the broody one get to?
Is he okay?
Oh, yeah.
He's fine.
But he rode here
on his motorcycle
and since he couldn't
just leave it,
I told him he should
make his way home before us.
I'm not really
in a state to drive,
so I'm waiting for someone
to pick up my ride.
[KIRISHIMA]
Good call.
You wanna sit down
and rest your poor legs
- while we wait?
- No.
I want you to quit making
such a fuss over me.
It's just.
I'm sorry.
Oh.
What for?
Everything?
Hm.
Nah.
I'm more impressed
you tweaked
your schedule around
this nonsense
than anything else.
But only somewhat impressed.
- Huh?
- [YOSHINO] That said,
if you make a repeat of this,
you are dead meat.
Wait.
That can't be all.
I don't get what you mean.
I just figured
you would be a lot more mad.
Eh, you weren't the only one
pulling scummy moves this week.
I really wasn't
expecting the mini-truck,
and I'm sure driving
that thing around so much
has been a challenge.
Huh?
No way. When did you realize
I was following you?
[KIRISHIMA]
Well, I didn't realize
it was you
in the driver's seat.
But a mini-truck
parked in front of a hotel
so early in the morning
with its engine running
struck me as odd.
Especially,
with the tinted windows.
Touche,
and for what it's worth,
I didn't want to do all that
but Tsubaki and Shoma both said
that I should keep
a closer eye on you.
I was parked there
for five whole hours!
And when you came out,
it was with a girl.
You never disappoint,
do you, Romeo?
[Kirishima laughs]
What did take me
by surprise, though,
was running into
that same girl on my tour.
I didn't know
what was going on,
but I could tell
it was nothing good
and she was connected,
so I went up to her.
Wow, very clever!
It wasn't that clever,
you're just
too damn predictable.
What tipped you off about Ozu?
I figured something was up
the second I knew
you were looking into those
three apartment buildings
over in Kobe.
To get a little more intel,
Shoma and I reached out
to some property owners
and real estate folks we knew.
One of the buildings
had received complaints
about loud cars
and people making a ruckus
late at night.
I knew there'd be
shady stuff going down
since it involved you,
and then my contact told me
the son of
an Embrace Productions bigwig
was renting a room there.
I searched his name and saw
he went to the same school
as Nao Shiota
and that they followed
each other online.
That's when I knew
I was onto something.
It took a ridiculous
amount of time
and was so exhausting.
Like, zero out of ten stars.
Yeah.
Never would've guessed
you were tracking me
in Kobe yesterday,
so well done.
I was definitely on cloud nine
after getting
my first gift from you.
[gasps]
You knew that, too?
[KIRISHIMA]
I suspected.
You confirmed my suspicions
when you called me
just because you knew
exactly where I was.
They catch cheaters
with these trackers.
It cost almost 30,000 yen
to rent it, too.
I bought the smallest one
and sewed it inside.
You should've tossed it
as soon as you got your hunch!
How come?
Gee, I wonder!
But that's another
confirmation.
You haven't decided
if he's obsessed
or if it's real
and he's fallen for you, right?
I think you should
figure that one out.
I agreed 'cause if this was
more toxic than love,
I needed to
get the heck outta Tokyo
and move back home.
Problem was asking you outright
wasn't gonna work,
so I devised a little test.
If you liked me the way
a boyfriend likes a girlfriend,
you would treasure
a handmade charm I gave you
and hold onto it
for safekeeping.
Honestly, though, I thought
you'd chuck it, pronto.
But, no.
Turns out these feelings
that you have are genuine.
Hm.
I've been saying that
all along.
Yeah, but I wanted the proof.
If I'd known the danger
this thing would put you in
it might've gone
in the nearest trashcan.
But you made it
specially for me,
tracker and all.
Then again, yeah.
I was slack.
Guess that's why
it's called a charm.
I imagine
this is what it feels like
to fall for a honey trap.
You're shockingly calm.
[KIRISHIMA]
Am I?
I spied on you the whole time.
I planted a tracker
and followed you.
Aren't you mad?
[KIRISHIMA]
Not at all.
Okay, then.
What's going on
in your mind right now?
[KIRISHIMA]
Huh?
When I get curious,
I'm gonna start asking that.
Hmm.
You won't get angry?
Um, that's gonna depend
on what you say.
Huh?
I'm thinking of how small
and cute your head is.
My head?
Like I could crush it
with a single hand.
Hm.
So you want a piece of me?
Well, not in that way.
But I have
these fleeting moments
that I can't explain
now and then.
♪
Obviously,
I cherish and adore you.
And every so often,
I wanna ruin you, too.
[gasps]
I would prefer the option
where you cherish and adore me
if those are
the only two that I get.
I also prefer that option,
so it does make sense.
[chuckles softly]
Ah, this is great!
What?
Up until you gave me
that charm,
it seemed like you had
no interest in me at all
and I wasn't sure what to do.
Hm.
So I was nothing
short of ecstatic
when I got your call
and confirmed
that you were tracking me!
Even if it was just
to find my location,
it meant that
you actually cared!
And since the odds
of us getting together
would go way down
if you were indifferent,
I will gladly take your hate!
You've got ba*ls of steel.
[Kirishima chuckles softly]
Yeah, but enough about that,
how do I become your boyfriend?
- What?
- [KIRISHIMA] The bet.
We wrapped things up
before midnight,
and I'm still alive.
Oh!
I think I should win by default
if you don't have a plan.
So do you have a plan?
[YOSHINO] Yeah!
And the plan is
rock, paper scissors.
You game?
Uh
Well, it can't be physical
on account
of our different builds!
And you'd cream me
in a battle of wits.
So, it's gonna be luck-based!
[KIRISHIMA]
With rock, paper, scissors.
Hmm.
Problem?
Uh-huh. Nope.
Love it.
Let's play!
[laughs]
[YOSHINO]
Got 'em!
Rock, paper!
It's a weird talent,
but I'm actually
good at this game!
The chance
of an opponent throwing
a rock to start is high,
which means paper usually
has the best odds
of winning the first round!
But this is Kirishima,
the master of mind games!
He probably
knows that rule, too,
so the safest thing
to throw is
- [growls]
- [chuckles]
[YOSHINO]
Scissors!
[gasps]
[KIRISHIMA]
I'm outta the stalker zone
and into the boyfriend land!
Why did you throw rock,
you jerk?
Is it 'cause you have
rocks for brains
and it just felt natural?
Don't really know, but I won!
[YOSHINO]
Hang on!
We're doin' best
of three rounds to end this!
You gotta win two more!
- [KIRISHIMA] Aw.
- [YOSHINO] All right,
here we go!
Rock, paper, scissors!
Why the hell
would you throw rock
two times in a row?
[KIRISHIMA]
Yay!
Now I really am your boyfriend!
[AKISHIBA]
I see.
They're in Osaka.
Thank you.
