200 of Daito's 60-minute

DPE PhotoStation developing tanks

throughout the city.

Drowning Fish

Morning Musume...

We'll arrange for the costumes to be rented.

Any special requests?

I never said I'd have any part of this!

What are you talking about?

Yeah, you.

You think you can weasel out of this?

You know full well you have to do it.

This guy is serious. He proved it

when his first demand went ignored.

Only four locations were hit that first time,

but business ground to a halt

with all the customer complaints

and then having to scrub out the developing units.

If something like that should happen again,

our reputation will take a nosedive.

What's our defense plan?

The culprit puts this stuff

in a film canister to get it into the developer.

In order for our shops to deliver 60-minute prints,

the process is almost completely automated.

Checking every single negative

ahead of time would be impossible.

Isn't it the job of you guys in engineering

to make stuff like that possible?

Like hell it is!

You just want to make more work for us!

You win, so stop the tape already.

It's a DVD.

Why are we still putting up with all this nonsense?

Why don't we just report this to the police already?

What do you think will happen when this hits the media?

A crime so easy to imitate is sure to spread far and wide.

Ever since the Glico Morinaga case,

food companies have been faced with threat after threat.

That case spurred them to develop a new kind of cellophane,

to the tune of several hundred million yen.

But...

Even so...

I'm scared!

But sir, it's Morning Musume.

Anyway, please wait a bit longer.

I'll see what I can do on my end as well.

What the hell is happening to Japan?

Anyway, what's that lady's problem?

Sure, we have to use the phone she gave us,

but does it have to have Pipo on it?

What are we, kids?

Besides, he's just visiting the place--

how is that disturbing the peace?

Sorry, but could you turn this music off? It's embarrassing.

It's my Mustang.

I get to pick what we listen to.

There's a time and a place for everything.

It's a stakeout. Why would you listen to...

"Joe's Lullaby"!

Joe Shishido.

He's good. I'm a fan.

The Birds of Passage series,

the Tales of a Gunman series...

Dirty Work, Bodyguard Work,

Helper Work-- the "Work" trilogy...

Branded to Kill...

Don't you know he's the "quick draw" guy?

See, after Alan Ladd and Audie Murphy,

Joe's the third-fastest draw in the world.

0.65 seconds.

Wake up. There's our target.

Shirasu.

Old man!

An undercover operation, you think?

Is that really a woman?

Some kind of Filipina. All "Paruparo!" and stuff.

I mean, it's a club...
