- Synopsis:
- "Grudge Song" brings out a gentler side of Nami, aka "Scorpion", and allows her to fall in love again, this time with Kudo (Masakazu Tamura), an ex-radical working in a grimy strip club, who bears both physical and psychological scars as a result of past police torture. The pair decide to take revenge on the detective chasing Nami, the same man responsible for Kudo's injuries, and get involved in a kidnapping plot that quickly goes awry, sending the lovers on the run. Captured and sent back to prison, Nami is sentenced to death and must quickly find a way not only out of her predicament, but also a means to escape once again and take revenge on yet another man who has betrayed her.
