I win.
Brother, why don't you quit
while you're ahead?
What? No. The night
is still young.
You don't want me to leave
with all the winnings, do you?
That's my winning tile.
Sixteen thousand.
That's it.
Just 8,000.
That's the winning tile.
You again.
Twelve thousand.
Let it pass.
Nope.
Sixteen thousand.
That's it.
Big dragons. See.
- Congrats.
- A beautiful hand.
I earned it.
Hey, you.
Where's my MONEY?
You're 28,000 short.
Don't have it.
That's no done.
Idiot.
I want my money.
Don't have it.
You played without money?
No, Mr. Nakagawa.
Hey.
Let's step outside.
Hey.
You've got guts betting
without money.
That place is run by
Taiwanese yakuza.
The mad guy's Ko,
a mafia hoodlum.
You almost got killed.
If you're interested, call me.
Fine with me.

You're slacking off.
I let you live in
this nice place.
Be thankful and clean up
the neighborhood.
Idiot!
You haven't swept at all.
How am I supposed to
know where to sweep?
Don't argue.
All right. I'll do it.
Please let me.
Dear?
It's been a week.
How long are you
letting him stay?
He wants me to
be his brother yakuza.
After I beat
the shit out of him.
He's a strange one,
that record shop man.
Record shop?
I knew he had a history,
so I questioned him.
He used to be a banker
in Utsunomiya.
Then he opened
a record shop, that fool.
But he went bankrupt.
Owed a lot of money...
The yakuza came
after him
and he's been running
for his life.
Being chased by yakuza
then wanting to be
a yakuza, that's rich.
But he's really serious.
Just get rid of him.
I said if he stuck it out for
six months, I'd accept him.
Six months?
Are you kidding?
Pervert.
What?
Old man, you're in
the wrong business.
Don't call me old.
Huh?
What's your connection
to Uncle Nakagawa?
Since we haven't
sworn an oath...
I'm a free agent.
Free agent?
You bastard.
Hey, Kunio,
he's the same as you.
All right. I'll take care
of Oshima Construction.
Three golf courses,
a worthy opponent.
Sony about that.
I failed at a family job.
Every man to his trade.
I couldn't do
what you do.
Brother Kanzaki is
connected politically.
Until the chain-nan gets
out of prison,
well be depending
on him. Right?
Oh, a new guy.
He's been staying with me.
I'm Sakai. Ryo Sakai.
Please remember me.
And look upon me with
favor from now on.
Thank you for your
respectful greeting.
Ryo. Don't let your
senior give me a light.
Stay sharp!
That's not where
it's wanted. Fool.
You're late coming
into this business.
At 24, you should be
making up for lost time.
I'm sorry.
You're new here.
You're cute.
What's your name?
Sayaka.
Be careful, Sayaka.
Nakagawa's attracted to
new girls.
Yuka, go away.
I have a favor to ask.
Idiot You can't collect
15,000 yen?
I can't...
Ryo.
You go. It'll be a
learning experience for you.
Small debts are called
"kiritori."
Big one like yours
are "oikomi." Remember that.
Brother, shall I go?
No, it's okay.
This guy used to be
a banker.
Oh, an interesting guy.
Hello.
Ms. Maeda hand me
that document.
Mr. Nakanishi, chief clerk
sales division one.
Mr. Nakanishi.
Yuka at Carol Night Club
is very unhappy.
Please pay your tab of
15,200 yen at once.
Hey, stop.
Are you Mr. Nakanishi?
Yuka of Carol...
- You're Nakanishi?
- This way.
Come.
Please don't.
I'll get in trouble.
Bastard. Yuka's been
troubled for six months.
Do you want me to yell
in front of the president?
Well?
Moron!
Just because you were
successful,
you think you can slack off
and watch TV?
If you have time to watch,
watch commercials.
You can learn a lot.
Look, a yakuza's job is to
extort money from
upstanding folks by
making up impossible
false claims.
So if the commercial says, cake comes
first, phone number two,
then you ask, "Am I third?"
"You're eating better cake
for a snack than me,
"how dare you!" See,
that's how you do it.
I see.
Do you, you fool!
Dear?
When are you going to
throw that punk out?
He asked to be my
junior brother.
It's my obligation to
take care of him
until he turns tail and runs.
You think you're so cool.
Please, Dear?
What?
We haven't for a month.
Don't I don't want
Ryo to hear.
Go back to your side.
You always say that.
I know you're playing around.
Masayo of Belle, Kayako of
Hanazono...
You're still seeing her?
Don't make it Ryo's fault.
Shut up.
Why?
Be quiet.
Ryo? Don't go to the toilet
in the middle of the night!
Sorry.
I haven't had steak
in years. It was good.
My thanks for collecting
the debt.
If you like, you can have some prime
on top filet below. How about it?
Yeah!
Hey, Akemi.
That you, Akemi?
Haven't seen you in ages.
Akemi... you must have
the wrong person.
- Let's go.
- Hold on.
Stop acting in front of
your new man.
Hey, she has a mole
down there, right?
She still scratches
when aroused?
Stop that.
You're despicable.
Hey, say that again.
Let her go.
Stop, Ryo.
Don't.
He's Kajiyama Family.
Hey, stop.
Ryo!
Ryo.
Stop.
Die!
Get lost.
Son of a bitch.
Were you serious
about fighting him?
He would have killed you.
If you're gonna fight,
have the guts to
fight 'til the bitter end.
If you can't, then don't
fight in the first place.
Go to the hospital.
Hurry.
Ryo.
I'm sorry.
Let's go to the hospital.
We're not an emergency
hospital.
Don't quibble.
The chief doctor is out.
Where's the anesthetic?
Hey, Doctor.
I don't need anesthesia.
Hurry and sew it up.
But...
I said forgot it.
Hurry.
Wait a second.
Doctor Murai.
Keiko hold his legs.
Now.
I won't struggle.
So let me hold your hand.
Are you sure?
- It'll hurt.
- I know that.
Ready?
That hurts.
It's done.
I've never put seven stitches in
without anesthesia.
A revolver is better
than an automatic.
You can only get one shot off
on an automatic.
But this will let you
shoot more.
You can't miss.
We don't use our guns
to steal.
We use it to prove
we're man enough.
Clean it.
Dear, Asami's here.
I told him not to come here.
Be careful with that.
Ryo.
Hey, Ryo.
Get down here.
This is the loan document
and a 2-million-yen
bounced check.
You used to be a banker,
know what this means?
With these, you're a
legitimate debt collector.
No one can say you're
an extortionist.
Think you can collect
all of it?
I'll try.
Hmmm...
he didn't tum a hair.
Katakura family?
I'm not afraid of yakuza.
Listen. I'm afraid of being
hit by a falling iron plate,
but not of you guys.
What?
You've sent your minion?
No problem.
Send ten or twenty.
Excuse me...
Is this Yokota Engineering?
Who are you?
I'm with Azusa Kai.
Oh yeah?
You came alone?
Your debt has reached
2 million.
Could you please pay?
Are you a dimwit?
I've been a yakuza for one
mon... five years.
I'm going to become
a big shot.
Oh yeah?
You must be suffering
but the people
who got the bounced check
are in an even worse situation.
And it's a problem for me, too.
That may be, but I can't give
you what I don't have.
Go home.
I said go!
Oh yeah?
You think you can scare me?
I told you to leave.
Are you all right?
You did this.
Damn you.
What are you doing?
What do you think?
I'm calling the cops.
An innocent citizen is
about to get killed.
This is attempted murder.
- Hello, is this the police?
- Hey, hold on.
I said wait.
If they throw you in prison
on attempted murder,
and if you go away
for a long time,
this company would
go bankrupt.
Let's talk this out.
- Ow...
- Let's talk.
If we talk, we can come to
a settlement.
You think?
I do.
Then why don't you take
responsibility now?
If something happens
to you, I'll come right over.
I'm Ryo Sakai, Azusa Kai.
I'll pay. Okay.
I'll pay.
Hey, not bad, Ryo.
He said he only had one-and-a-half million
in cash, so I said okay.
At least you got most of it.
They get half of the
recovered money,
so they'll be happy.
This is your first big job,
so I'll give you half
of my take...
That's howl feel, but
since you're still apprenticing,
I'll give you half of that.
You did good.
Thank you.
Doctor?
Is that cute nurse
off duty today?
Cute nurse?
I think her name is Keiko.
Keiko is my daughter
and she's at school.
Your daughter?
I heard you're associating with
Taiwan yakuza in Shinjuku. Is that true?
What's wrong with that?
The reason they've been
acting big recently is drugs.
Because the Kajiyama family
want the drugs,
they kowtow to them.
That's why they're
moving into Shibuya, too.
You saying I'm involved
with drugs?
I know you wouldn't do that.
Our group doesn't
condone drugs.
The cops will raid
the Taiwan yakuza soon.
That's why I want you
to be extra careful
about associating
with them.
Sure.
Mr. Nakagawa.
This is good. Have some.
We're getting eight new women
from the Philippines.
They're all young dancers,
so they'll make us money.
Do you want a taste
before they start?
I don't touch
the merchandize.
That's admirable.
Mr. Nakagawa,
drugs make more money
than women.
You can have your
own building
for Azusa Kai
dealing drugs.
Mr. Chan. I told you
I won't deal drugs.
You're straight-laced.
I love being first
at the bathhouse.
Hey, Ryo.
Scams are the way to go
for yakuza now.
If you're smart, money and
women will be yours.
Hey, are you listening?
That's good.
The first apartment
Akiyo and I had
didn't have a toilet
or a bath.
We used to go to
bathhouses all the time.
That's why I still come
from time to time.
That was the signal
I was done.
Uncle.
- Brother.
- Brother, what's wrong?
The organized crime unit
cop called me.
Taiwan yakuza Chan
was arrested for
drug dealing.
What!
Your name came up
in the investigation.
Brother. I told you
I never deal drugs.
All right.
Brother, sorry to have
barged in like this.
Forgive me.
Fool, don't just stand
there. I'll catch cold.
Close the door.
Hey, beer.
Co-ed?
Flavored vodka?
Oh, you!
How's your wound?
I can finally drink again.
Then let's toast to
your speedy recovery.
Sure.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
You asked Dad where's
the cute nurse named Keiko.
How come?
Er, well...
What do you do?
Me?
Lots of things...
yakuza.
Liar. You have
such sweet eyes.
What do you think?
A budding illustrator
or a camera assistant.
So you think I'm
not much.
Is your father well?
So you go to college?
What year?
Do you have a boyfriend?
I'm getting married.”
A virgin bride.
So this is a pre-celebration?
Drowning my sorrows.
Your father's wrong.
That's right. Isn't he?
He's... my father...
is ambitious.
He wants to head a
large general hospital.
Hey, you okay?
So he arranged a marriage
for you to someone you don't love?
He's the only son of a
real estate company.
A promising young employee
of Kagami Trading.
I can never love him.
Hey!
You must be cold.
Thank you.
You're so kind.
Mr. Yakuza.
I don't care
what happens to me.
Oh yeah?
Then come.
Oh, a love hotel.
I know. This is where
the man says,
"Let's go in shall we?"
Like it was no big deal.
That's right.
Let's go in.
No!
No.
Pervert.
Hey, Lady.
You in trouble?
Oh, a pervert?
What'd you say?
I'm not a sideshow.
Wait, Yakuza.
Running away?
Bastard. Yakuza
shouldn't run.
Hey where are you going?
Going home.
I hope I didn't say anything
stupid when I was drunk.
Just a bit.
Oh, no.
I was teasing.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For not being honest
with my feelings.
Let me clean your
room for you.
I bet you have
a mountain of laundry.
My place is really bad.
I'm moving to a better
place soon.
What?
Next time, when
I'm not drunk.
Next Saturday,
April 12th, 2 p.m.
In front of the Hachiko statue.
I'll keep this scarf
until then.
A small but clean apartment...
What's your budget?
Seventy thousand yen.
What's your occupation?
Self-employed.
Sony, I can't help you.
Excuse me, I'm looking
for an apartment.
Do you have anything for
about fifty thousand?
Sure.
A very good one.
This way.
Hey!
I'll take that apartment.
It's a women-only
building.
Liar!
That's discrimination.
Brother.
I was cleared.
The cops were profusely
apologetic.
I heard. Sony! made
a big deal.
I get real upset when
it comes to drugs.
I told the cops no one in
Azusa Kai deals drugs.
Have a drink.
I want to.
But if I do,
I'll be seeing double.
You won't drink with me?
Just tonight?
How about it?
Hey!
I'll drink with you
when I'm done here.
You've come up
in the world.
You're holding up
Azusa Kai today.
Although I'm a year
older than you,
you're the only one that
can order me around.
Brother, I apologize
about the bathhouse.
To coin a phrase...
it's hot water under
the bridge.
You shouldn't be drinking.
You have a bad liver.
Shut up!
I just said I won't take
orders from you.
Drink.
Bastard!
Brother.
What happened?
- Kanzaki did this.
- Uncle Kanzaki?
He damaged my face.
I want satisfaction.
I'll kill him.
I'll kill that bastard.
Brother.
Are you all right?
Shut up.
An eye for an eye.
A man's nothing
without respect.
In this business,
that's the end.
Dear. Dear.
Are you all right?
You got drunk and
got into a fight again.
I'll kill him. Bastard.
I'll kill him.
What do you want?
Uncle Kanzaki.
- What the...
- You!
What's the meaning of this?
What!
You shot Kanzaki?
I'm going to the police.
I'll take this.
I won't tell them
where I got it.
Ryo!
Hey, Ryo.
He did it for me.
He's really something.
Dear? You're soft.
If Ryo comes back,
he'll be a hero,
but how are you going
to settle this?
If things go badly,
you're dead.
He's here.
What?
He's here.
Please take it.
Boss, you're not going
to accept it are you?
- Kill him.
- Yeah!
Shut up.
I'm trying to have a talk
with Brother.
I know a finger's
not enough.
That's why I'm here.
Do as you please.
Stop that.
All right, Brother.
I never dreamt I'd be
shot by one of my own.
I thought it was between
you and me.
But now that I think about it,
I was wrong, too.
I was the one
who started it.
But that Ryo, he's pretty gutsy
for a greenhorn, right, Brother?
Uncle Ariga is here.
Looks like you've
talked it out.
I'm sorry to have
troubled you.
Others will take advantage,
if we're at each other's throats
while the chain-nan is away.
Got that?
Hey.
How about a smoke?
What?
Sit down.
Let me go, Cop!
Stop the van!
Be still.
Three Years Later...
What are you doing here?
Bastard!
Why are you here?
Get out of the way.
Boss.
Come in.
I'm Ryo.
I got out today.
I came to apologize.
Prison is an admirable
institution.
It matures a man.
Hey.
Sit.
You have to
set yourself up now.
Since you're just out,
it may be hard,
but I'm giving you
one of my men.
Brother Nakagawa agreed.
He's a difficult person.
He tolerated
only you and Asami.
No others would
work for him.
Hey!
Excuse me.
I'm with you, Brother.
Ryo, you did your time.
You can call me Brother
any time.
Brother.
Welcome.
Hello.
Welcome.
We're celebrating
Ryo's release.
Let's have a good time.
Okay, Kaori?
I'm Kaoru.
That's right, Kaoru.
Welcome back, Ryo.
Have you forgotten me?
See, I told you he wouldn't
remember you.
Oh, you're Yuka...
Club Carol.
Yes!
I win.
You're mine tonight.
First time in three years.
I'm exhausted.
I'm going to die.
That's why returnees
are popular.
Patting yourself
on the back?
I feel like I've had enough
for ten years.
This...
It's the scar from
that time?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's a nice room.
You just noticed?
I was distracted.
I'm leaving this place.
The real estate business
is in a recession.
My real estate patron
left me.
So haven't paid
in three months.
An available girl and a
ex-con's a good combination.
Or do you have
a girlfriend?
Yeah.
Oh, You do?
Hey. If you were going out
with a real estate agent,
you must know about
being in possession?
What's that?
Just because you can't pay,
that doesn't mean you get
evicted with nothing.
I'm going to rent
this room from you.
We'll sign an official lease.
When the guy who won
the foreclosure auction
comes to evict, I'm going to
demand an eviction fee.
Well split the proceeds.
Clever!
Look, Brother.
Expecting a visitor?
Who's there?
Welcome home.
I told the manager
I was your sister.
That old womanizer.
Get out.
Why?
I waited three years
for you.
You know where I was
during that time?
Prison.
If you know, get out!
This is no place
for a girl like you.
Brother, I forgot I have
something to do.
Bye.
That day, I---
...waited for you by the
Hachiko statue.
You didn't come.
I got your address from
your medical file
and went to your place.
It was
Mr. Nakagawa's house.
His wife told me everything.
She asked me if
I was your girlfriend.
Don't.
No.
Aren't you married?
Don't be a tease.
Stop.
You really were yakuza.
I told you.
But you have such
kind eyes.
I'm sorry.
That your first man
is a yakuza.
I thought you'd
gotten married.
That day
changed my life.
That day,
when you didn't come,
I got engaged
but I just couldn't
go through with it.
I broke the engagement,
argued with my dad...
After I graduated from
college last year,
I left home and I work in
an office of a trading firm.
So it's all my fault.
See, you're so kind.
My hand remembered.
It said I had to see you
to make sure.
This hand brought us
two together.
There.
Honey, stop.
Shut up.
I'm not a dog.
Hey, what are you doing?
Shut up!
Hey, what do you think
you're doing?
What're you going to
do about it?
Stop it.
Enough already.
Haven't you had enough?
Stop it.
Honey.
Honey?
Is that all you've got?
What?
Is that all Azusa Kai
can dole out?
Is that it?
Don't you think
you've done enough?
Hit me.
Are you both
out of your mind?
Wait a second.
Honey!
All right.
I've made up my mind.
You're strong. I want to
work for you.
You beg, too.
I've decided. I won't get up
till you say okay.
- Please.
- Please.
Listen, they have no
intention of paying.
If they complain,
kick a desk over and
bark him one on the shin.
If you use your hands, it'll
be extortion, so be careful.
I know.
Go.
Going now.
We're going now.
Be careful.
Hey, something's burning.
Oh, no!
I did it.
Hey, if I eat that,
I'll get cancer.
Who's there?
It's me. It's Kido.
Is Ryo here?
I got out today.
How did you find me?
You kidding? We're
in the same business.
Hmm, she looks like
an ordinary girl.
Me?
I'm Sakai's wife.
Oh? You're pretty.
Mind if I come in?
Please come in.
Hey this is a nice
honeymoon nest.
Why are you here?
Oh, this is really nice.
What?
Tuition.
You got this apartment
using the possession trick
I taught you in prison...
Getting an eviction fee
colluding with the former
tenant.
You're sharp.
I'm right aren't I?
Pay up.
I'm broke.
They haven't put it up
for auction yet.
That's not good.
Then maybe I'll stay here
for a while.
Hey, I don't need any
freeloaders.
I don't have time
to freeload.
I'm going to make
all the money I can
then go to Spain.
- Spain?
- Yeah.
Business' global now.
I'm kidding.
I'm on parole so I'm going
to make a run for it.
All right. Let's talk about it
next time.
I have to go out, so leave.
Not even a cup of tea?
Oh, tea. Right away.
- You don't have to.
- Oh, Missus.
It's all right.
Don't bother.
You're cute.
Hey, lay off her.
Brother, don't you think
that's enough?
Yes?
Yes? All right.
I'll bring it.
What's the matter?
Brother wants me
to bring 50,000 yen to
a mahjong parlor
in Maruyama.
I'll go.
Brother. Get a hold
of yourself.
You shouldn't be pulling
all-nighters.
None of your business.
Are you all right?
If your wife sees you
like this...
Ryo, how dare you
talk to me like that.
Brother!
Pops, how much?
Have you forgotten I'm the
president of my company?
- I didn't mean it like that.
- Then what?
Go away.
Shut up.
Brother.
Brother, are you all right?
Brother!
Advance on the eviction fee
of 2 million yen
and the two-year rent we
said we paid together
comes to ten million.
We did it, Brother.
We got it all in cash to boot,
which means
I had a lot
to do with it.
So I'd settle for 2 million
for my contribution.
What?
I told you in prison.
In our profession, if you
make money
because of a story that
you were told,
the teller gets 10 percent.
That's stupid.
Hey, don't get greedy
all of a sudden.
So hand over 2 million.
Hey, Ryo, this isn't kid's play.
Enough of this fooling around.
You play dirty.
There's no such thing
in the yakuza profession.
Listen, Ryo, there's yakuza
like you
who will lay down his life
for the family,
and those like me who're
in it for themselves.
We've got to make
every opportunity count.
We have to use our heads.
It's a sad situation.
Here you go.
That was an expensive story.
We've got to help
each other out.
I'll give you a good
tip again, Ryo.
Bye.
He's pretty slick.
What's the matter?
Are you sick?
Sony about this.
I'm falling apart.
There's 4 million here.
That's your share.
Thanks. I can go home
with my head high.
Home?
I'm so weary.
- Where's home?
- Ojiya in Niigata.
They get the most snow
in Japan.
I came to Tokyo thinking
I'd find something better.
But in eleven years,
there was nothing.
Just one...
I met you.
I thought! could be happy
being your girlfriend.
But you'd found such a
cute girl in the meantime.
But it's all right.
I'm glad I met you.
Please.
Make love to me.
Just tonight.
I promise.
Please give me one good
memory to hold on to.
Ryo...
Make love tome
like you mean it.
- Oh, it's you.
- I was waiting for you.
What were you thinking?
Playing stupid tricks.
Hey, that's mine.
Where'd you get it?
Look good?
No.
Ryo?
Did you had an affair?
I'm kidding.
But you look guilty.
HEY, I'm yakuza.
Nothing wrong with
yakuza having affairs.
If you do, I'll kill you
and kill myself.
So tell me when you
have an affair.
When I decided to many
a yakuza,
I was prepared for it.
But no, please don't.
If you do, I'll have
an affair, too.
Do as you like.
Delicious.
Section Chief.
I can't believe a solid
company like yours
would bounce two checks
for 10 and 20 million yen,
totaling 30 million.
Thank you for coming.
Mr. Sakai, of Azusa Kai?
Toa company is in difficulties
right now,
but they promise to make
them good.
Could you wait ten days?
But it's way overdue.
I'll take responsibility.
I'm Minami of Kajiyama Family.
That should be good enough.
All right.
Hey, how's the
stomach wound?
Was just a scratch.
- Hey,
' What?
See you soon.
Hun-y up and get ready.
You're the one who
wanted to go to dinner.
I won't be long.
What have you been
working on?
A bullet-proof vest.
Vest?
If you wear this,
you'll be safe no matter
what comes your way.
I can't wear this.
It's cowardly.
You're going to be
a father soon.
What?
Kumi, you've been
deceiving me.
I told you to get
an abortion.
You bitch.
No. I don't want a kid.
Go to the doctor now.
I told you I didn't want
a kid
until I was on my own
two feet.
All right, I'll do it for you.
I'll do it.
Damn you.
Ow...
It's moving.
What?
The baby's kicking.
Honey,
the baby's moving.
Brother,
can I be excused?
Sure. We'll celebrate
our new office tonight.
Don't be late.
You'll take it?
Wrap it for him.
Can a pregnant woman
wear this?
Yes.
How much?
13,800 yen.
Don't worry.
I have money.
Hey, can I have that scissors?
Oh, sorry.
Ten million.
It's all there.
It was supposed to be
30 million.
What?
- Watch your mouth!
- Nemoto.
Toa Construction can't
make payment.
I'm paying on their behalf.
Could you wait ten days
for the rest?
I'm begging you in front of
my underlings.
I can't wait.
This is business.
I trusted your word.
Because you were Minami
of Kajiyama family.
All right, I'll wait a week.
We'll meet here again
next week.
Damn him.
He embarrassed Boss.
Bastard!
I'd like someone like him
in my family.
Looking good isn't what
yakuza's all about.
Be more serious
about your job!
Hey, everyone,
a bonus.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
Honey...
Brother...
It's not for you.
It's for Kumi's baby.
Thank you.
Honey.
Did you hear that?
Fool. I won't take
the baby's money.
Thank you.
Let me help.
- Kumi, you sit.
- I'm fine.
A new building feels great.
You think?
When the kid is born,
your current apartment
will be too small.
And you haven't had
a wedding yet.
I'd love to wear
a white wedding dress.
Not your style.
I look good in white.
Let her. You should wear
a white tux
and it'll be a wedding
with a kid.
Ryo. Why don't you be
the baby's godfather?
Good idea.
What the hell are you
saying, you idiot!
Brother, today's my tum
to take care of the
headquarter office.
Oh yeah? Hey, Keiko.
Give him my coat.
It's not a tux, but it's
cold outside.
Thank you.
- You should eat first.
- No, I'm fine.
Thank you, Sister.
Use my car.
- Bye.
- See you later.
Kumi...
Honey.
Why'd you use the money
I sewed into the vest?
You fool.
Used it to buy sake,
didn't you?
You're a fool.
The baby's moving around.
I know he's a boy.
I'll bring him up
to be a real man.
He'll be like you,
a spirited child.
I made one for each of you.
Please use it.
Why did this have to happen?
I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
We came out ahead.
Yeah, we go Minami
to cut his finger
and had them shell out
10 million for the deceased.
It couldn't be better.
All due to Uncle Ariga.
But we know Kajiyama
did it reluctantly.
Ryo.
They'll be gunning for you.
Be careful.
But did you see the look
on Kajiyama's face?
Sister, please.
Thank you.
You're opening a bar?
That's good.
There was a great place
in Udagawa,
so I rented it stock and all.
But we don't have
enough funds.
We did put down
a down payment.
How much more
do you need?
About 2 million yen.
There's 300,000 there.
I'll deliver the rest
in a day or two.
Thank you, Ryo.
Take it.
Sister, sorry I'm late.
Ryo.
I should have
gone to you.
Here.
Thank you, Ryo.
Please.
It's a great bar.
Oh, Ryo. I didn't know
you were here.
I'll be right back.
After we sold the house,
I was going to put him
in a hospital.
But he refused to go.
He probably will want
to drink with you.
Don't let him.
Hey, I haven't seen
you around.
Too busy to have
a drink with me?
I'm sorry.
I have to keep an eye
on the greenhorns.
Hey, Akiyo beer.
Oh, Brother, I can't.
- What?
- I can't drink.
What?
I became diabetic
in prison.
In prison?
I've never heard
of such a thing.
It's true. I can't
get it up anymore.
But I heard you shacked up
with a cutie.
Why didn't you bring
her around?
She's still not my wife.
But if you have sex,
it's the same thing.
Oh, that must be it.
She's insatiable.
That's probably why.
In any case, the doctor
said no alcohol.
Can't we just split
one beer?
All right.
Just a little bit.
Bring the beer.
That suit looks expensive.
It's not.
Dear?
We have to thank Ryo
for the money.
Here you go.
Hey.
Sorry.
All right.
I'll be there in five.
Damn it.
Having Azusa Kai come out
on top isn't good.
If Ariga hadn't interfered.
I'm so pissed.
I don't want to preach,
but if we give before
Azusa Kai,
they'll come on even
stronger.
Boss, Brother's right.
Shoji, you're my
only hope.
It's cruel since you
just came out of prison,
but I want you to do it.
You're right, Boss.
What's with him?
I'm leaving.
Coming.
Is Ryo here?
I'm Nakagawa.
Mr. Nakagawa?
I'm Keiko.
Ryo's... I mean, Sakai
is out right now.
I see.
You're really cute.
Am I? I'll tell Ryo
you praised me.
Oh, come in.
I'll make some tea.
Oh, don't bother.
I was in the
neighborhood.
I'll come for a visit
next time.
Don't say that.
Ryo will be angry.
Never mind.
Please.
Brother, it's time to go.
- Sister's going to scold again.
- Idiot!
I finally sneaked out.
- Brother...
- What?
Nakagawa. Long time.
I heard you were out.
Kajiyama family is a gathering
of good-for-nothings.
What?
I don't like your suit.
Hey.
I'm kidding.
Celebrate your release.
My treat.
I thought you were the
Azusa Kai acting chairman,
but I hear it's Kanzaki.
No unpleasantness
on this auspicious night.
Mama, give them
your best table.
This way.
Let's dance.
Bring the booze.
Hurry up!
Brother!
Brother.
Doctor! A doctor.
Are you Mr. Nakagawa's
family?
He vomited blood again.
What?
My blood's the same, type B.
Give him my blood.
Yes, please.
Ryo...
How do you feel?
Thanks. I'm costing you
money again.
Stop that.
It's not like you.
Now we're really
blood brothers.
You're loved.
Everyone from the
HQ underlings
to the night club hostesses
were here.
Ryo, you're really
a good person.
There's no way that many
people would be worried about me.
I couldn't do anything
for you either.
You're wrong.
The first time you
came to me,
you reminded me
of myself.
I became a yakuza
at 26, too.
I didn't tell anyone
I tried my hand at many
different business in Nagoya
and...
none of them
panned out.
So, your story was
my story.
But unlike me, you had
the makings of a yakuza.
So I was jealous.
That's why I was
hard on you.
Forgive me.
Brother!
Ryo.
Be good to Keiko.
She's really a great person.
Brother.
Thank you for everything.
He went to heaven
by himself.
I'm sure he's relieved.
He was timid, yet stubborn
and obstinate.
He always tried to look
bigger than he was.
Bastard!
Clashes among
small fry won't cut it.
We have to get the boss.
This is our territory.
Billiards is interesting.
One wrong shot,
everything goes haywire.
Just like our conflict.
I'm sorry what I did
has lead to this.
Nah. We're both trying to
eke out a living here.
There's no way we can
keep out of each other's way.
By the way, Ryo,
I hear your woman comes
from a normal family.
Many her and make it legal.
Uncle, at a time when we're
in conflict with Kajiyama...
The situation's not
going to change.
She fell in love knowing
what you are.
She must be prepared.
You can't call yourself
a real yakuza
if you can't please
even one woman.
Really?
Uncle Kanzaki said
he'd take care of it,
so decide on a place
and date.
I want to get married
in a church.
Ever since I was little,
I dreamt of getting married
in a church.
So when?
April 12th.
The day you stood me up
by the Hachiko statue.
From today, I'll be
Keiko Sakai.
I like the name.
Sure.
Your father never
answered you.
I don't mind.
I'm really going to be
a yakuza wife.
Sister.
Congratulations,
Ryo, Keiko.
You're very beautiful.
If only Nakagawa could
have seen you now.
Mrs. Akiyo.
Wow.
You look good.
Brother.
Thank you for coming.
Uncle Ariga.
Uncle Ariga and his wife.
I was asked to be the
witness at the last minute.
She's worried I'll botch it.
Sister, thank you
for coming.
You're very beautiful.
Hey.
Ryo.
Congrats.
What are you doing?
Get off of me.
Stay still.
What?
Only 50,000?
An expensive
wedding gift,
but I guess
it can't be helped.
Here. Hold out your hand.
Your hand.
Here.
It's a Philippine Colt 45.
Isn't it grand?
The Kajiyama family
bought ten of these.
They're going for
all-out war.
What the hell
are you thinking?
I have to make a living.
Brother Kanzaki's late.
The chairman's getting out
of prison soon,
so he's busy with preparations.
Get the job done,
Mashiba.
You've never failed before.
Everyone, please stand.
Psalm 430.
Not yet.
Not enough practice.
So follow me.
Hey,
I've seen him before.
- What?
- Take a good look.
I know.
Sorry, sorry.
Ryo must be anxious.
We now proceed to
the exchange of rings.
From husband to wife.
From wife to husband.
You may kiss the bride.
Hey, Ryo.
Looking good.
Uncle. There's a car
following us.
Take that side street.
Uncle!
Uncle!
Idiot!
You good-for-nothing!
How badly is he hurt?
He's...
I was hit, too,
but this saved me.
Brother.
Brother!
Don't tell anyone.
I'll go alone.
Got that?
You hear?
Brother.
You look beautiful.
Ryo is a happy man.
Presents
There's a game you can join.
This way.
My win.
Eighteen thousand.
I win.
Brother, why don't you quit
while you're ahead?
What? No. The night
is still young.
You don't want me to leave
with all the winnings, do you?
That's my winning tile.
Sixteen thousand.
That's it.
Just 8,000.
That's the winning tile.
You again.
Twelve thousand.
Let it pass.
Nope.
Sixteen thousand.
That's it.
Big dragons. See.
- Congrats.
- A beautiful hand.
I earned it.
Hey, you.
Where's my MONEY?
You're 28,000 short.
Don't have it.
That's no done.
Idiot.
I want my money.
Don't have it.
You played without money?
No, Mr. Nakagawa.
Hey.
Let's step outside.
Hey.
You've got guts betting
without money.
That place is run by
Taiwanese yakuza.
The mad guy's Ko,
a mafia hoodlum.
You almost got killed.
If you're interested, call me.
Fine with me.

You're slacking off.
I let you live in
this nice place.
Be thankful and clean up
the neighborhood.
Idiot!
You haven't swept at all.
How am I supposed to
know where to sweep?
Don't argue.
All right. I'll do it.
Please let me.
Dear?
It's been a week.
How long are you
letting him stay?
He wants me to
be his brother yakuza.
After I beat
the shit out of him.
He's a strange one,
that record shop man.
Record shop?
I knew he had a history,
so I questioned him.
He used to be a banker
in Utsunomiya.
Then he opened
a record shop, that fool.
But he went bankrupt.
Owed a lot of money...
The yakuza came
after him
and he's been running
for his life.
Being chased by yakuza
then wanting to be
a yakuza, that's rich.
But he's really serious.
Just get rid of him.
I said if he stuck it out for
six months, I'd accept him.
Six months?
Are you kidding?
Pervert.
What?
Old man, you're in
the wrong business.
Don't call me old.
Huh?
What's your connection
to Uncle Nakagawa?
Since we haven't
sworn an oath...
I'm a free agent.
Free agent?
You bastard.
Hey, Kunio,
he's the same as you.
All right. I'll take care
of Oshima Construction.
Three golf courses,
a worthy opponent.
Sony about that.
I failed at a family job.
Every man to his trade.
I couldn't do
what you do.
Brother Kanzaki is
connected politically.
Until the chain-nan gets
out of prison,
well be depending
on him. Right?
Oh, a new guy.
He's been staying with me.
I'm Sakai. Ryo Sakai.
Please remember me.
And look upon me with
favor from now on.
Thank you for your
respectful greeting.
Ryo. Don't let your
senior give me a light.
Stay sharp!
That's not where
it's wanted. Fool.
You're late coming
into this business.
At 24, you should be
making up for lost time.
I'm sorry.
You're new here.
You're cute.
What's your name?
Sayaka.
Be careful, Sayaka.
Nakagawa's attracted to
new girls.
Yuka, go away.
I have a favor to ask.
Idiot You can't collect
15,000 yen?
I can't...
Ryo.
You go. It'll be a
learning experience for you.
Small debts are called
"kiritori."
Big one like yours
are "oikomi." Remember that.
Brother, shall I go?
No, it's okay.
This guy used to be
a banker.
Oh, an interesting guy.
Hello.
Ms. Maeda hand me
that document.
Mr. Nakanishi, chief clerk
sales division one.
Mr. Nakanishi.
Yuka at Carol Night Club
is very unhappy.
Please pay your tab of
15,200 yen at once.
Hey, stop.
Are you Mr. Nakanishi?
Yuka of Carol...
- You're Nakanishi?
- This way.
Come.
Please don't.
I'll get in trouble.
Bastard. Yuka's been
troubled for six months.
Do you want me to yell
in front of the president?
Well?
Moron!
Just because you were
successful,
you think you can slack off
and watch TV?
If you have time to watch,
watch commercials.
You can learn a lot.
Look, a yakuza's job is to
extort money from
upstanding folks by
making up impossible
false claims.
So if the commercial says, cake comes
first, phone number two,
then you ask, "Am I third?"
"You're eating better cake
for a snack than me,
"how dare you!" See,
that's how you do it.
I see.
Do you, you fool!
Dear?
When are you going to
throw that punk out?
He asked to be my
junior brother.
It's my obligation to
take care of him
until he turns tail and runs.
You think you're so cool.
Please, Dear?
What?
We haven't for a month.
Don't I don't want
Ryo to hear.
Go back to your side.
You always say that.
I know you're playing around.
Masayo of Belle, Kayako of
Hanazono...
You're still seeing her?
Don't make it Ryo's fault.
Shut up.
Why?
Be quiet.
Ryo? Don't go to the toilet
in the middle of the night!
Sorry.
I haven't had steak
in years. It was good.
My thanks for collecting
the debt.
If you like, you can have some prime
on top filet below. How about it?
Yeah!
Hey, Akemi.
That you, Akemi?
Haven't seen you in ages.
Akemi... you must have
the wrong person.
- Let's go.
- Hold on.
Stop acting in front of
your new man.
Hey, she has a mole
down there, right?
She still scratches
when aroused?
Stop that.
You're despicable.
Hey, say that again.
Let her go.
Stop, Ryo.
Don't.
He's Kajiyama Family.
Hey, stop.
Ryo!
Ryo.
Stop.
Die!
Get lost.
Son of a bitch.
Were you serious
about fighting him?
He would have killed you.
If you're gonna fight,
have the guts to
fight 'til the bitter end.
If you can't, then don't
fight in the first place.
Go to the hospital.
Hurry.
Ryo.
I'm sorry.
Let's go to the hospital.
We're not an emergency
hospital.
Don't quibble.
The chief doctor is out.
Where's the anesthetic?
Hey, Doctor.
I don't need anesthesia.
Hurry and sew it up.
But...
I said forgot it.
Hurry.
Wait a second.
Doctor Murai.
Keiko hold his legs.
Now.
I won't struggle.
So let me hold your hand.
Are you sure?
- It'll hurt.
- I know that.
Ready?
That hurts.
It's done.
I've never put seven stitches in
without anesthesia.
A revolver is better
than an automatic.
You can only get one shot off
on an automatic.
But this will let you
shoot more.
You can't miss.
We don't use our guns
to steal.
We use it to prove
we're man enough.
Clean it.
Dear, Asami's here.
I told him not to come here.
Be careful with that.
Ryo.
Hey, Ryo.
Get down here.
This is the loan document
and a 2-million-yen
bounced check.
You used to be a banker,
know what this means?
With these, you're a
legitimate debt collector.
No one can say you're
an extortionist.
Think you can collect
all of it?
I'll try.
Hmmm...
he didn't tum a hair.
Katakura family?
I'm not afraid of yakuza.
Listen. I'm afraid of being
hit by a falling iron plate,
but not of you guys.
What?
You've sent your minion?
No problem.
Send ten or twenty.
Excuse me...
Is this Yokota Engineering?
Who are you?
I'm with Azusa Kai.
Oh yeah?
You came alone?
Your debt has reached
2 million.
Could you please pay?
Are you a dimwit?
I've been a yakuza for one
mon... five years.
I'm going to become
a big shot.
Oh yeah?
You must be suffering
but the people
who got the bounced check
are in an even worse situation.
And it's a problem for me, too.
That may be, but I can't give
you what I don't have.
Go home.
I said go!
Oh yeah?
You think you can scare me?
I told you to leave.
Are you all right?
You did this.
Damn you.
What are you doing?
What do you think?
I'm calling the cops.
An innocent citizen is
about to get killed.
This is attempted murder.
- Hello, is this the police?
- Hey, hold on.
I said wait.
If they throw you in prison
on attempted murder,
and if you go away
for a long time,
this company would
go bankrupt.
Let's talk this out.
- Ow...
- Let's talk.
If we talk, we can come to
a settlement.
You think?
I do.
Then why don't you take
responsibility now?
If something happens
to you, I'll come right over.
I'm Ryo Sakai, Azusa Kai.
I'll pay. Okay.
I'll pay.
Hey, not bad, Ryo.
He said he only had one-and-a-half million
in cash, so I said okay.
At least you got most of it.
They get half of the
recovered money,
so they'll be happy.
This is your first big job,
so I'll give you half
of my take...
That's howl feel, but
since you're still apprenticing,
I'll give you half of that.
You did good.
Thank you.
Doctor?
Is that cute nurse
off duty today?
Cute nurse?
I think her name is Keiko.
Keiko is my daughter
and she's at school.
Your daughter?
I heard you're associating with
Taiwan yakuza in Shinjuku. Is that true?
What's wrong with that?
The reason they've been
acting big recently is drugs.
Because the Kajiyama family
want the drugs,
they kowtow to them.
That's why they're
moving into Shibuya, too.
You saying I'm involved
with drugs?
I know you wouldn't do that.
Our group doesn't
condone drugs.
The cops will raid
the Taiwan yakuza soon.
That's why I want you
to be extra careful
about associating
with them.
Sure.
Mr. Nakagawa.
This is good. Have some.
We're getting eight new women
from the Philippines.
They're all young dancers,
so they'll make us money.
Do you want a taste
before they start?
I don't touch
the merchandize.
That's admirable.
Mr. Nakagawa,
drugs make more money
than women.
You can have your
own building
for Azusa Kai
dealing drugs.
Mr. Chan. I told you
I won't deal drugs.
You're straight-laced.
I love being first
at the bathhouse.
Hey, Ryo.
Scams are the way to go
for yakuza now.
If you're smart, money and
women will be yours.
Hey, are you listening?
That's good.
The first apartment
Akiyo and I had
didn't have a toilet
or a bath.
We used to go to
bathhouses all the time.
That's why I still come
from time to time.
That was the signal
I was done.
Uncle.
- Brother.
- Brother, what's wrong?
The organized crime unit
cop called me.
Taiwan yakuza Chan
was arrested for
drug dealing.
What!
Your name came up
in the investigation.
Brother. I told you
I never deal drugs.
All right.
Brother, sorry to have
barged in like this.
Forgive me.
Fool, don't just stand
there. I'll catch cold.
Close the door.
Hey, beer.
Co-ed?
Flavored vodka?
Oh, you!
How's your wound?
I can finally drink again.
Then let's toast to
your speedy recovery.
Sure.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
You asked Dad where's
the cute nurse named Keiko.
How come?
Er, well...
What do you do?
Me?
Lots of things...
yakuza.
Liar. You have
such sweet eyes.
What do you think?
A budding illustrator
or a camera assistant.
So you think I'm
not much.
Is your father well?
So you go to college?
What year?
Do you have a boyfriend?
I'm getting married.”
A virgin bride.
So this is a pre-celebration?
Drowning my sorrows.
Your father's wrong.
That's right. Isn't he?
He's... my father...
is ambitious.
He wants to head a
large general hospital.
Hey, you okay?
So he arranged a marriage
for you to someone you don't love?
He's the only son of a
real estate company.
A promising young employee
of Kagami Trading.
I can never love him.
Hey!
You must be cold.
Thank you.
You're so kind.
Mr. Yakuza.
I don't care
what happens to me.
Oh yeah?
Then come.
Oh, a love hotel.
I know. This is where
the man says,
"Let's go in shall we?"
Like it was no big deal.
That's right.
Let's go in.
No!
No.
Pervert.
Hey, Lady.
You in trouble?
Oh, a pervert?
What'd you say?
I'm not a sideshow.
Wait, Yakuza.
Running away?
Bastard. Yakuza
shouldn't run.
Hey where are you going?
Going home.
I hope I didn't say anything
stupid when I was drunk.
Just a bit.
Oh, no.
I was teasing.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For not being honest
with my feelings.
Let me clean your
room for you.
I bet you have
a mountain of laundry.
My place is really bad.
I'm moving to a better
place soon.
What?
Next time, when
I'm not drunk.
Next Saturday,
April 12th, 2 p.m.
In front of the Hachiko statue.
I'll keep this scarf
until then.
A small but clean apartment...
What's your budget?
Seventy thousand yen.
What's your occupation?
Self-employed.
Sony, I can't help you.
Excuse me, I'm looking
for an apartment.
Do you have anything for
about fifty thousand?
Sure.
A very good one.
This way.
Hey!
I'll take that apartment.
It's a women-only
building.
Liar!
That's discrimination.
Brother.
I was cleared.
The cops were profusely
apologetic.
I heard. Sony! made
a big deal.
I get real upset when
it comes to drugs.
I told the cops no one in
Azusa Kai deals drugs.
Have a drink.
I want to.
But if I do,
I'll be seeing double.
You won't drink with me?
Just tonight?
How about it?
Hey!
I'll drink with you
when I'm done here.
You've come up
in the world.
You're holding up
Azusa Kai today.
Although I'm a year
older than you,
you're the only one that
can order me around.
Brother, I apologize
about the bathhouse.
To coin a phrase...
it's hot water under
the bridge.
You shouldn't be drinking.
You have a bad liver.
Shut up!
I just said I won't take
orders from you.
Drink.
Bastard!
Brother.
What happened?
- Kanzaki did this.
- Uncle Kanzaki?
He damaged my face.
I want satisfaction.
I'll kill him.
I'll kill that bastard.
Brother.
Are you all right?
Shut up.
An eye for an eye.
A man's nothing
without respect.
In this business,
that's the end.
Dear. Dear.
Are you all right?
You got drunk and
got into a fight again.
I'll kill him. Bastard.
I'll kill him.
What do you want?
Uncle Kanzaki.
- What the...
- You!
What's the meaning of this?
What!
You shot Kanzaki?
I'm going to the police.
I'll take this.
I won't tell them
where I got it.
Ryo!
Hey, Ryo.
He did it for me.
He's really something.
Dear? You're soft.
If Ryo comes back,
he'll be a hero,
but how are you going
to settle this?
If things go badly,
you're dead.
He's here.
What?
He's here.
Please take it.
Boss, you're not going
to accept it are you?
- Kill him.
- Yeah!
Shut up.
I'm trying to have a talk
with Brother.
I know a finger's
not enough.
That's why I'm here.
Do as you please.
Stop that.
All right, Brother.
I never dreamt I'd be
shot by one of my own.
I thought it was between
you and me.
But now that I think about it,
I was wrong, too.
I was the one
who started it.
But that Ryo, he's pretty gutsy
for a greenhorn, right, Brother?
Uncle Ariga is here.
Looks like you've
talked it out.
I'm sorry to have
troubled you.
Others will take advantage,
if we're at each other's throats
while the chain-nan is away.
Got that?
Hey.
How about a smoke?
What?
Sit down.
Let me go, Cop!
Stop the van!
Be still.
Three Years Later...
What are you doing here?
Bastard!
Why are you here?
Get out of the way.
Boss.
Come in.
I'm Ryo.
I got out today.
I came to apologize.
Prison is an admirable
institution.
It matures a man.
Hey.
Sit.
You have to
set yourself up now.
Since you're just out,
it may be hard,
but I'm giving you
one of my men.
Brother Nakagawa agreed.
He's a difficult person.
He tolerated
only you and Asami.
No others would
work for him.
Hey!
Excuse me.
I'm with you, Brother.
Ryo, you did your time.
You can call me Brother
any time.
Brother.
Welcome.
Hello.
Welcome.
We're celebrating
Ryo's release.
Let's have a good time.
Okay, Kaori?
I'm Kaoru.
That's right, Kaoru.
Welcome back, Ryo.
Have you forgotten me?
See, I told you he wouldn't
remember you.
Oh, you're Yuka...
Club Carol.
Yes!
I win.
You're mine tonight.
First time in three years.
I'm exhausted.
I'm going to die.
That's why returnees
are popular.
Patting yourself
on the back?
I feel like I've had enough
for ten years.
This...
It's the scar from
that time?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's a nice room.
You just noticed?
I was distracted.
I'm leaving this place.
The real estate business
is in a recession.
My real estate patron
left me.
So haven't paid
in three months.
An available girl and a
ex-con's a good combination.
Or do you have
a girlfriend?
Yeah.
Oh, You do?
Hey. If you were going out
with a real estate agent,
you must know about
being in possession?
What's that?
Just because you can't pay,
that doesn't mean you get
evicted with nothing.
I'm going to rent
this room from you.
We'll sign an official lease.
When the guy who won
the foreclosure auction
comes to evict, I'm going to
demand an eviction fee.
Well split the proceeds.
Clever!
Look, Brother.
Expecting a visitor?
Who's there?
Welcome home.
I told the manager
I was your sister.
That old womanizer.
Get out.
Why?
I waited three years
for you.
You know where I was
during that time?
Prison.
If you know, get out!
This is no place
for a girl like you.
Brother, I forgot I have
something to do.
Bye.
That day, I---
...waited for you by the
Hachiko statue.
You didn't come.
I got your address from
your medical file
and went to your place.
It was
Mr. Nakagawa's house.
His wife told me everything.
She asked me if
I was your girlfriend.
Don't.
No.
Aren't you married?
Don't be a tease.
Stop.
You really were yakuza.
I told you.
But you have such
kind eyes.
I'm sorry.
That your first man
is a yakuza.
I thought you'd
gotten married.
That day
changed my life.
That day,
when you didn't come,
I got engaged
but I just couldn't
go through with it.
I broke the engagement,
argued with my dad...
After I graduated from
college last year,
I left home and I work in
an office of a trading firm.
So it's all my fault.
See, you're so kind.
My hand remembered.
It said I had to see you
to make sure.
This hand brought us
two together.
There.
Honey, stop.
Shut up.
I'm not a dog.
Hey, what are you doing?
Shut up!
Hey, what do you think
you're doing?
What're you going to
do about it?
Stop it.
Enough already.
Haven't you had enough?
Stop it.
Honey.
Honey?
Is that all you've got?
What?
Is that all Azusa Kai
can dole out?
Is that it?
Don't you think
you've done enough?
Hit me.
Are you both
out of your mind?
Wait a second.
Honey!
All right.
I've made up my mind.
You're strong. I want to
work for you.
You beg, too.
I've decided. I won't get up
till you say okay.
- Please.
- Please.
Listen, they have no
intention of paying.
If they complain,
kick a desk over and
bark him one on the shin.
If you use your hands, it'll
be extortion, so be careful.
I know.
Go.
Going now.
We're going now.
Be careful.
Hey, something's burning.
Oh, no!
I did it.
Hey, if I eat that,
I'll get cancer.
Who's there?
It's me. It's Kido.
Is Ryo here?
I got out today.
How did you find me?
You kidding? We're
in the same business.
Hmm, she looks like
an ordinary girl.
Me?
I'm Sakai's wife.
Oh? You're pretty.
Mind if I come in?
Please come in.
Hey this is a nice
honeymoon nest.
Why are you here?
Oh, this is really nice.
What?
Tuition.
You got this apartment
using the possession trick
I taught you in prison...
Getting an eviction fee
colluding with the former
tenant.
You're sharp.
I'm right aren't I?
Pay up.
I'm broke.
They haven't put it up
for auction yet.
That's not good.
Then maybe I'll stay here
for a while.
Hey, I don't need any
freeloaders.
I don't have time
to freeload.
I'm going to make
all the money I can
then go to Spain.
- Spain?
- Yeah.
Business' global now.
I'm kidding.
I'm on parole so I'm going
to make a run for it.
All right. Let's talk about it
next time.
I have to go out, so leave.
Not even a cup of tea?
Oh, tea. Right away.
- You don't have to.
- Oh, Missus.
It's all right.
Don't bother.
You're cute.
Hey, lay off her.
Brother, don't you think
that's enough?
Yes?
Yes? All right.
I'll bring it.
What's the matter?
Brother wants me
to bring 50,000 yen to
a mahjong parlor
in Maruyama.
I'll go.
Brother. Get a hold
of yourself.
You shouldn't be pulling
all-nighters.
None of your business.
Are you all right?
If your wife sees you
like this...
Ryo, how dare you
talk to me like that.
Brother!
Pops, how much?
Have you forgotten I'm the
president of my company?
- I didn't mean it like that.
- Then what?
Go away.
Shut up.
Brother.
Brother, are you all right?
Brother!
Advance on the eviction fee
of 2 million yen
and the two-year rent we
said we paid together
comes to ten million.
We did it, Brother.
We got it all in cash to boot,
which means
I had a lot
to do with it.
So I'd settle for 2 million
for my contribution.
What?
I told you in prison.
In our profession, if you
make money
because of a story that
you were told,
the teller gets 10 percent.
That's stupid.
Hey, don't get greedy
all of a sudden.
So hand over 2 million.
Hey, Ryo, this isn't kid's play.
Enough of this fooling around.
You play dirty.
There's no such thing
in the yakuza profession.
Listen, Ryo, there's yakuza
like you
who will lay down his life
for the family,
and those like me who're
in it for themselves.
We've got to make
every opportunity count.
We have to use our heads.
It's a sad situation.
Here you go.
That was an expensive story.
We've got to help
each other out.
I'll give you a good
tip again, Ryo.
Bye.
He's pretty slick.
What's the matter?
Are you sick?
Sony about this.
I'm falling apart.
There's 4 million here.
That's your share.
Thanks. I can go home
with my head high.
Home?
I'm so weary.
- Where's home?
- Ojiya in Niigata.
They get the most snow
in Japan.
I came to Tokyo thinking
I'd find something better.
But in eleven years,
there was nothing.
Just one...
I met you.
I thought! could be happy
being your girlfriend.
But you'd found such a
cute girl in the meantime.
But it's all right.
I'm glad I met you.
Please.
Make love to me.
Just tonight.
I promise.
Please give me one good
memory to hold on to.
Ryo...
Make love tome
like you mean it.
- Oh, it's you.
- I was waiting for you.
What were you thinking?
Playing stupid tricks.
Hey, that's mine.
Where'd you get it?
Look good?
No.
Ryo?
Did you had an affair?
I'm kidding.
But you look guilty.
HEY, I'm yakuza.
Nothing wrong with
yakuza having affairs.
If you do, I'll kill you
and kill myself.
So tell me when you
have an affair.
When I decided to many
a yakuza,
I was prepared for it.
But no, please don't.
If you do, I'll have
an affair, too.
Do as you like.
Delicious.
Section Chief.
I can't believe a solid
company like yours
would bounce two checks
for 10 and 20 million yen,
totaling 30 million.
Thank you for coming.
Mr. Sakai, of Azusa Kai?
Toa company is in difficulties
right now,
but they promise to make
them good.
Could you wait ten days?
But it's way overdue.
I'll take responsibility.
I'm Minami of Kajiyama Family.
That should be good enough.
All right.
Hey, how's the
stomach wound?
Was just a scratch.
- Hey,
' What?
See you soon.
Hun-y up and get ready.
You're the one who
wanted to go to dinner.
I won't be long.
What have you been
working on?
A bullet-proof vest.
Vest?
If you wear this,
you'll be safe no matter
what comes your way.
I can't wear this.
It's cowardly.
You're going to be
a father soon.
What?
Kumi, you've been
deceiving me.
I told you to get
an abortion.
You bitch.
No. I don't want a kid.
Go to the doctor now.
I told you I didn't want
a kid
until I was on my own
two feet.
All right, I'll do it for you.
I'll do it.
Damn you.
Ow...
It's moving.
What?
The baby's kicking.
Honey,
the baby's moving.
Brother,
can I be excused?
Sure. We'll celebrate
our new office tonight.
Don't be late.
You'll take it?
Wrap it for him.
Can a pregnant woman
wear this?
Yes.
How much?
13,800 yen.
Don't worry.
I have money.
Hey, can I have that scissors?
Oh, sorry.
Ten million.
It's all there.
It was supposed to be
30 million.
What?
- Watch your mouth!
- Nemoto.
Toa Construction can't
make payment.
I'm paying on their behalf.
Could you wait ten days
for the rest?
I'm begging you in front of
my underlings.
I can't wait.
This is business.
I trusted your word.
Because you were Minami
of Kajiyama family.
All right, I'll wait a week.
We'll meet here again
next week.
Damn him.
He embarrassed Boss.
Bastard!
I'd like someone like him
in my family.
Looking good isn't what
yakuza's all about.
Be more serious
about your job!
Hey, everyone,
a bonus.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
Honey...
Brother...
It's not for you.
It's for Kumi's baby.
Thank you.
Honey.
Did you hear that?
Fool. I won't take
the baby's money.
Thank you.
Let me help.
- Kumi, you sit.
- I'm fine.
A new building feels great.
You think?
When the kid is born,
your current apartment
will be too small.
And you haven't had
a wedding yet.
I'd love to wear
a white wedding dress.
Not your style.
I look good in white.
Let her. You should wear
a white tux
and it'll be a wedding
with a kid.
Ryo. Why don't you be
the baby's godfather?
Good idea.
What the hell are you
saying, you idiot!
Brother, today's my tum
to take care of the
headquarter office.
Oh yeah? Hey, Keiko.
Give him my coat.
It's not a tux, but it's
cold outside.
Thank you.
- You should eat first.
- No, I'm fine.
Thank you, Sister.
Use my car.
- Bye.
- See you later.
Kumi...
Honey.
Why'd you use the money
I sewed into the vest?
You fool.
Used it to buy sake,
didn't you?
You're a fool.
The baby's moving around.
I know he's a boy.
I'll bring him up
to be a real man.
He'll be like you,
a spirited child.
I made one for each of you.
Please use it.
Why did this have to happen?
I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
We came out ahead.
Yeah, we go Minami
to cut his finger
and had them shell out
10 million for the deceased.
It couldn't be better.
All due to Uncle Ariga.
But we know Kajiyama
did it reluctantly.
Ryo.
They'll be gunning for you.
Be careful.
But did you see the look
on Kajiyama's face?
Sister, please.
Thank you.
You're opening a bar?
That's good.
There was a great place
in Udagawa,
so I rented it stock and all.
But we don't have
enough funds.
We did put down
a down payment.
How much more
do you need?
About 2 million yen.
There's 300,000 there.
I'll deliver the rest
in a day or two.
Thank you, Ryo.
Take it.
Sister, sorry I'm late.
Ryo.
I should have
gone to you.
Here.
Thank you, Ryo.
Please.
It's a great bar.
Oh, Ryo. I didn't know
you were here.
I'll be right back.
After we sold the house,
I was going to put him
in a hospital.
But he refused to go.
He probably will want
to drink with you.
Don't let him.
Hey, I haven't seen
you around.
Too busy to have
a drink with me?
I'm sorry.
I have to keep an eye
on the greenhorns.
Hey, Akiyo beer.
Oh, Brother, I can't.
- What?
- I can't drink.
What?
I became diabetic
in prison.
In prison?
I've never heard
of such a thing.
It's true. I can't
get it up anymore.
But I heard you shacked up
with a cutie.
Why didn't you bring
her around?
She's still not my wife.
But if you have sex,
it's the same thing.
Oh, that must be it.
She's insatiable.
That's probably why.
In any case, the doctor
said no alcohol.
Can't we just split
one beer?
All right.
Just a little bit.
Bring the beer.
That suit looks expensive.
It's not.
Dear?
We have to thank Ryo
for the money.
Here you go.
Hey.
Sorry.
All right.
I'll be there in five.
Damn it.
Having Azusa Kai come out
on top isn't good.
If Ariga hadn't interfered.
I'm so pissed.
I don't want to preach,
but if we give before
Azusa Kai,
they'll come on even
stronger.
Boss, Brother's right.
Shoji, you're my
only hope.
It's cruel since you
just came out of prison,
but I want you to do it.
You're right, Boss.
What's with him?
I'm leaving.
Coming.
Is Ryo here?
I'm Nakagawa.
Mr. Nakagawa?
I'm Keiko.
Ryo's... I mean, Sakai
is out right now.
I see.
You're really cute.
Am I? I'll tell Ryo
you praised me.
Oh, come in.
I'll make some tea.
Oh, don't bother.
I was in the
neighborhood.
I'll come for a visit
next time.
Don't say that.
Ryo will be angry.
Never mind.
Please.
Brother, it's time to go.
- Sister's going to scold again.
- Idiot!
I finally sneaked out.
- Brother...
- What?
Nakagawa. Long time.
I heard you were out.
Kajiyama family is a gathering
of good-for-nothings.
What?
I don't like your suit.
Hey.
I'm kidding.
Celebrate your release.
My treat.
I thought you were the
Azusa Kai acting chairman,
but I hear it's Kanzaki.
No unpleasantness
on this auspicious night.
Mama, give them
your best table.
This way.
Let's dance.
Bring the booze.
Hurry up!
Brother!
Brother.
Doctor! A doctor.
Are you Mr. Nakagawa's
family?
He vomited blood again.
What?
My blood's the same, type B.
Give him my blood.
Yes, please.
Ryo...
How do you feel?
Thanks. I'm costing you
money again.
Stop that.
It's not like you.
Now we're really
blood brothers.
You're loved.
Everyone from the
HQ underlings
to the night club hostesses
were here.
Ryo, you're really
a good person.
There's no way that many
people would be worried about me.
I couldn't do anything
for you either.
You're wrong.
The first time you
came to me,
you reminded me
of myself.
I became a yakuza
at 26, too.
I didn't tell anyone
I tried my hand at many
different business in Nagoya
and...
none of them
panned out.
So, your story was
my story.
But unlike me, you had
the makings of a yakuza.
So I was jealous.
That's why I was
hard on you.
Forgive me.
Brother!
Ryo.
Be good to Keiko.
She's really a great person.
Brother.
Thank you for everything.
He went to heaven
by himself.
I'm sure he's relieved.
He was timid, yet stubborn
and obstinate.
He always tried to look
bigger than he was.
Bastard!
Clashes among
small fry won't cut it.
We have to get the boss.
This is our territory.
Billiards is interesting.
One wrong shot,
everything goes haywire.
Just like our conflict.
I'm sorry what I did
has lead to this.
Nah. We're both trying to
eke out a living here.
There's no way we can
keep out of each other's way.
By the way, Ryo,
I hear your woman comes
from a normal family.
Many her and make it legal.
Uncle, at a time when we're
in conflict with Kajiyama...
The situation's not
going to change.
She fell in love knowing
what you are.
She must be prepared.
You can't call yourself
a real yakuza
if you can't please
even one woman.
Really?
Uncle Kanzaki said
he'd take care of it,
so decide on a place
and date.
I want to get married
in a church.
Ever since I was little,
I dreamt of getting married
in a church.
So when?
April 12th.
The day you stood me up
by the Hachiko statue.
From today, I'll be
Keiko Sakai.
I like the name.
Sure.
Your father never
answered you.
I don't mind.
I'm really going to be
a yakuza wife.
Sister.
Congratulations,
Ryo, Keiko.
You're very beautiful.
If only Nakagawa could
have seen you now.
Mrs. Akiyo.
Wow.
You look good.
Brother.
Thank you for coming.
Uncle Ariga.
Uncle Ariga and his wife.
I was asked to be the
witness at the last minute.
She's worried I'll botch it.
Sister, thank you
for coming.
You're very beautiful.
Hey.
Ryo.
Congrats.
What are you doing?
Get off of me.
Stay still.
What?
Only 50,000?
An expensive
wedding gift,
but I guess
it can't be helped.
Here. Hold out your hand.
Your hand.
Here.
It's a Philippine Colt 45.
Isn't it grand?
The Kajiyama family
bought ten of these.
They're going for
all-out war.
What the hell
are you thinking?
I have to make a living.
Brother Kanzaki's late.
The chairman's getting out
of prison soon,
so he's busy with preparations.
Get the job done,
Mashiba.
You've never failed before.
Everyone, please stand.
Psalm 430.
Not yet.
Not enough practice.
So follow me.
Hey,
I've seen him before.
- What?
- Take a good look.
I know.
Sorry, sorry.
Ryo must be anxious.
We now proceed to
the exchange of rings.
From husband to wife.
From wife to husband.
You may kiss the bride.
Hey, Ryo.
Looking good.
Uncle. There's a car
following us.
Take that side street.
Uncle!
Uncle!
Idiot!
You good-for-nothing!
How badly is he hurt?
He's...
I was hit, too,
but this saved me.
Brother.
Brother!
Don't tell anyone.
I'll go alone.
Got that?
You hear?
Brother.
You look beautiful.
Ryo is a happy man.
