What were they looking for?

- Probably nothing. Just intimidation.

They will probably contact us soon.

- What will we do? Should we leave?

No, we sit down and wait.

Well they didn't make any 'holles'.

Holles.

Holes.

- Holles

No, with a short L.

Like in 'hold'.

And then 'es', like in 'blames'.

Very good.

Take a deep breath.

Welcome in Japan.

- Thanks.

My name is Kazuhiro Takanawa.

It will probably mean nothing to you.

- Nothing at all.

I would like to meet you,

Mr. Fiorentini.

With pleasure.

I heard you like to play golf.

- I find it very relaxing.

So do I.

Let's play a round together.

My men are waiting downstairs.

- That's fine.

Holes.

That's better.

- What's going on?

I've been invited for a round of golf.

- You're going to play golf now?

Golfing helps with thinking.

Besides, in golf you have... holes.

Forget it...

Could you have the room made up for us?

- Right away sir.

Clean out your ears. I got everything.

Momo, they are waiting for us at the door.

I saw it. I have the file and

and all the results.

Here, and don't lose it.

Follow us from a distance.

If there is any trouble, cover us.

Oh come on. Not now.

That position is totally wrong.

And those legs... Like a duck.

We're not at the beach.

At least keep your eyes on the ball.

Go play with your PlayStation.

You won't lose any balls with that.

You play very well, I've heard.

- At least I don't miss.

So good that you're dangerous.

- Don't exaggerate.

Give me a demonstration.

Why come back to Japan

after all these years.

Not enough bad memories?

- After a few years only the good remain.

Aren't you here to make trouble?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- About the 200 million dollars...

on your daughters account.

Daddy?

Bastard, dirty liar. I hate you.

- Yumi, calm down.

I hate you.

- Calm down.

I tried to tell you,

but you hated your father so much.

Bastard. You left us.

No. Your mother disappeared,

without telling anything.

And no one ever told me,

that you existed.

If I would have known

that I had such a great daughter...

I would come back and looked

for you everywhere.

And this would have never happened.

My beautiful daughter.

Very touching. But before you

fall into eachothers arms...

I want my money back.

That won't happen. The account

is blocked untill she is twenty.

Then we will have to wait nine hours.

At 10 o'clock the bank will be open and your

daughter will be twenty. Congratulations.

Bring the girl away.

Kill him.

Slowly.

Wait.

This one is tough,

but if you do it right...

it's lethal.

Don't move. French army!

Damnit.

Hubert, everything alright?

Forget it. They are already down.

You're only a few seconds too late.
