Shinjuku Incident (2009) - full transcript

Quickly!

What'd he say?

How would I know? Just run!

Hurry, run or we won't get away!

Leave that! Let's go!

Japan 90's

This is the third boatload of

illegal immigrants...

To land in wakasa bay in 6 months

Tokyo shinjuku district

I'll take you to a nice restaurant

no, it's ok, maybe next time...

Come on, it's ok...

30,000 for both of you, ok?

No... you're so rich and

still you haggle...

Stop, don't run!

You can't escape

where do you think you're going?

Oh no...

Let go, let me go!

Let go! Stop resisting!

Let me go!

Northeastern China

Hey, little brother-in-law hi

can I get through?

Yes

don't fool me

I'm not, it's frozen solid!

You little rascal

who's your brother-in-law?

My sister hasn't said yes to you yet!

Let's go, let's go...

Where are you running off to?

My tractor's been destroyed by you!

That's the one

no way, just from this scar

you can prove my wife

is a Japanese orphan?

What do you know?

Those days, getting cowpox vaccination

was a big deal

only the Japanese children

could afford such luxury

you're great auntie

just go along with it

and say they are your children

then they can claim to be

descendants of Japanese orphans

and go to Japan legally

goodness, that's not possible

it would be illegal yes

it can work!

It can work? Oh, no way

look, I can't have given birth

to so many!

It's not like making buns you know!

Sure you can! Auntie liu

next door has 12!

Please auntie, say we are yours!

Let us have the chance to go!

Yes, give us a chance...

Steelhead

are you romancing me, or that machine?

Come up

come up

my aunt in Tokyo wants me to go over.

Should 1?

Will you come back?

Why wouldn't 1?

You're worried I won't be back?

Can't bear to see me go?

Shameless!

If you don't want me to...

Follow your dream!

Once I make enough money, I'll be back

Mail's here

No need to look, nothing for you

it's connected

thanks

jie, have you found her?

No, she has moved

how can she just vanish?

That's the thing

what about her aunt?

She died last month

died? How did she die?

We are at the scene of the shipwreck

people of different nationalities are

being taken away by the police

that's it, he must have been caught

another one, poor sod

Jie, I've walked for two days

thank god, I thought you didn't make it

come onin

some tea, hurry

let me introduce you

this is my brother from home, steelhead

this is Lao gwel, dai

that's auntie hao and her daughter Mae

also just arrived.

Now helping us to clean and cook

hu and fang

I said slow down... slower

don't choke

god, he stinks

when he's eaten, take him for a bath

you have to hurry, we're closing soon

understood

come

I'm surprised they have bathhouses

here, just like home

this is the old area, some houses

don't even have toilets

idiots! Shut up!

So sorry

Japanese mobsters, stay away

why are there so many louts here?

Tokyo has really gone to the dogs

that's right!

Ain't that the truth!

Damn it, if they had balls

come to China

see if I don't chop him into pieces

how is life?

Fine, just tiring

she moved away

after her aunt died

I've looked everywhere

you should give up

we'll talk after you get some rest

Come on, get up coming

move faster, or you won't get work

takadanobaba

how've you been?

Same as before

is there any work?

I don't understand english

big brother... wait

any work?

You're lucky, a foundation job

guaranteed a week, 6,000 yen a day

great!

Can my two buddies go with me?

Sure

but, 6 times 7 is 42,000

first, fork over commission

of 4,200 each

sure, sure, no problem...

Go on then

plastics with plastics, glass with glass

separate the flammable from the

inflammable. Don't be lazy!

Damn it, I thought it was

foundation work

isn't all the land here foundation?

In 20 years, this'll all

be full of villas

stop talking and get to work!

Separate them properly!

Plastics with plastics!

What's that guy doing?

Treasure hunting!

Treasure hunting?

Hey, hey...

That's mine!

The crane!

Hey! Stop! You're crushing him! Hey!

Someone's trapped underneath

quick, call the police!

They're calling the cops!

Illegal workers better run!

There's still someone there!

Run! Run!

Hurry up and help! Come on!

Run! They're calling the cops!

Thanks

run! Run!

Brother steelhead, eat while it's hot

I'm Hong Kong boy

you saved my life, I'll

repay you 10 times

I have a plumbing job in a few days

10,000 yen a day, I'll leave you a spot

make sure you keep your word

a little token, please take it

telephone cards

no, I can't

it's nothing

how do you sell these?

Very cheaply, at a tenth of the price

get me 20 of those

no problem, coming right up

they're fake! You have to use them

at green pay phones

the red ones have a detection system.

Never use those

how are you, big brother? Fine

brother tai Bo, please give me

another 20 cards

is 20 enough?

It's for a friend

look at you, didn't I ask you

to work with me?

There's a lot going on here!

You can get anything you want!

We are now at the sanwa-Kai headquarters...

For the funeral of mr iwaida jiro

all major mob heads are here

police are being very cautious...

And have sent a large contingent

we also hear from a reliable source...

That the mob leaders will...

Sit down and elect...

A new head for sanwa-Kai today

excuse me

Togawa taro, 2 votes

muranishi koichi, 5 votes

muranishi koichi is the new leader

The new leader is here!

Boss. Boss...

Our new leader, muranishi koichi

sub-head, eguchi toshinari enter

Kurata

do you know what I do?

I'm a police officer

you ask me to crawl down a sewer?

Don't you know iwaida jiro is dead?

I haven't even had time to celebrate...

And you want me to do this?

We received a citizen's complaint

then you should tell them

it's the illegal workers who

clean the sewers

a Japanese would never do

such a dirty job

if his toilet was blocked

shit would just pile up to his ass

ok, all right

after this, I'll buy you some drinks

lead the way

the number of illegals has gone up

in the past 2 months

the brass needs to clean things up

he's the Chinese interpreter

I see

I studied some Chinese in college

but I'm not fluent.

Can you understand me?

I can follow you

because I'm also Japanese

oh... he really does understand me?

Forget it

watch your step

ok

Stay where you are!

Cops!

Steelhead, run! Go!

Cops! Run!

Don't run!

Stop!

Round them up for questioning

Show your ID

take out your ids

keep quiet!

Can you speak putonghua? Speak it!

What's happening?

I can't understand them

aren't you the interpreter?

They are speaking in dialect

besides beijingnese, cantonese,

what else is there?

Several hundred others!

Oh really?

How much do you earn a day?

8,000 yen

8,000?

He said only 8,000

what's your point?

This kind of work pays

at least 15,000 yen

it's too little

is my Chinese ok? Can you understand me?

Yes I can

get them out of here

don't arrest me, please

run! Run!

No running!

Stay where you are!

Watch out! Over there!

Help... I can't swim

give me your hand

Steelhead, run! Hurry!

Don't run

wait

Run

Doesn't anyone guard the place?

The Japanese don't steal, so they

think others won't

fools!

Come, take this

3,000 is too little!

This is worth nothing, get the ivs

and the guccis

they're at department stores

steal these, they're the hottest

I'll give you 20 percent

of the market price

all these are stolen goods

the southeast Asian buyers

all come here to buy

some customers order in advance too

the harder it is to steal,

the higher the price

come, freshly grilled

have it while it's hot so slow!

I'll tell you who they are

the crew cut is from Vietnam

the effeminate one behind you

is from Shanghai

those on the other side. The loud ones

are from fujian

the people here...

Are capable of doing anything

do they work with each other?

They're all in different gangs,

so probably not

don't listen to him

this year, everyone is under

the same sky

money is king! No money, no brethren

get lost if you have no money!

Don't talk rubbish!

Let me show you something

come over, come on

you eat first. .Come over

I'll show you a trick, just

a slip of paper

You spend nothing, but

you have cigarettes

and you have spare change

steelhead

I see an aggressive streak in you

it'd be a waste if you don't

take short cuts

I don't want to be deported

deported... you scared?

Stop the nonsense

just ignore him

I'll bring you back

come back and play again, right?

I'll wait outside

Are you new?

Get yourself some food

Lily yes

go

Be careful

I'm drunk, Lily takes care of me

if you get drunk, I'll take care of you

give me your money

I have no money

hand over your money!

Let go... what are you doing?

Mito-San

let me go...

What are you doing?

You... what are you doing?

Help! Help!

Help! Help! Run!

Help...

Thank you... thank you

are you ok?

Oh, it's you

I hit the jackpot today

mito-San

sister

mito-San, your head is bleeding!

Come and help

I'm pissed off

no, don't drink any more

give me a drink!

Sit down first...

I can't calm down without booze

wang, bring the first aid box

right away

here's the box come. Sit

here's the box

I don't know how to thank you

money's the most practical,

please take it

I still need to return this money to you

thanks

I'm looking to hire someone

why not come and help me?

It's ok, I have work

let me get you a drink

wang, bring some food

what would you like? I'll go prepare it

anything will do ok

no need to be curious

they're all working students

I purposely opened this bar

at a quiet location

I wanted to keep things simple

kabuki-Cho is too uncivilised

zunaku is a hostess bar

it's yours?

Yes!

If you're lonely or troubled

just come here for a drink

this place is meant to sooth sorrows

I envy her

I too would like a man to search

the world for me

you don't have a man?

No good man!

Good men like good women

wrong! Good men like bad women

so you're a bad woman

looking for a good man

right! You're so right!

Ah, problems, everyone has

their problems

are you doing ok at work?

I'm doing ok

that's good. Don't rush yourself

when people are in a hurry,

they stray from the path

What do you want?

You're obstructing justice,

you're under arrest

Reject the anti-yakuza bill,

protect our rights

can you please elaborate on...

How the Japanese mafia can co-exist...

With other legal organizations?

They don't exactly co-exist

it is a long and complicated story

can you give us a simplified explanation?

It's rather difficult...

Tell the branches to burn all papers

and cease operations yes

no one is to use any violence

don't give the cops any excuse

to hold us

understood

move out! Yes!

Hurry up! There's no time!

Hurry!

Sir, times have changed

sanwa-Kai cannot survive on old rules

we need radical changes

togawa taro from togawa-gumi...

Will never accept your suggestion

perhaps, but togawa-gumi

is pushing things

the cops will use this as

an excuse to arrest us

we can't treat him as the enemy

we can't have sanwa-Kai in disarray

and we certainly can't

anger togawa taro

I understand

Welcome

good evening, eguchi-San

please come in

here you go

who is that man?

Big shots!

Look, look

the one in red...

Is gao, the Taiwan gang's leader

the fiercest in shinjuku

I think the tall guy beside him

is probably a mobster

Jie, is that her?

Surely not

isn't it?

Hey, what are you doing?

Don't go

Nakajima, take the things in

I can take them

no need

nakajima, do you need to

move some stuff?

Thank you

if it's not enough, there's more inside

thank you

that man just now

seemed quite taken with you

He is from my village

under the circumstances, I didn't

dare greet him

I didn't want to embarrass you

yuko

we've been together so long

why would I discriminate

against the Chinese?

Some people discriminate

against foreigners

I think that's too extreme, and naive

don't you agree, nakajima?

Many Chinese have come to kabuki-Cho

they're creating a mess there

actually, they are no different from us

just trying to make a living

do you know how many Chinese...

Helped to build kabuki-Cho

after the war?

Never mind

yuko

if you meet your friends again

just make contact with them

I won't mind

I've been keeping this for

a special occasion

tonight, it's bottoms up!

Come!

Ah... enough, enough...

What's up?

Waiting is such torture

now we have the answer, great!

Come, let's paint the town!

Good, paint the town!

Stop! What are you doing?

Don't run!

Come down!

Run!

My papers! My papers!

Squat down!

I can't go back

since I'm on the road of no return

I should make life better for myself

I'll make some money and

make myself legal

I can't live in the shadows forever

you mean...

You want to skirt the law?

What do you think?

My problem is I'm a coward

I just want a pushcart to sell

Tianjin chestnuts

that's my biggest ambition

every dream needs money

excuse me, brother tai Bo

my buddy steelhead has a deal for you

let's sit and chat

what's to talk?

20 cards? 507?

2.000 now, 10,000 next month

can you move that much?

I have people

good! Just show me the money!

Remember, it's 1,000 for 8 cards

if they bargain, just throw in

a couple free

phone cards... phone cards...

1,000 yen for 10

phone cards... phone cards...

1,000 yen for 10

if you want to make more,

sell fake cards!

To pose as tourists, you must

behave like them

what do you think? Beautiful?

Remember, look for the expensive stuff!

Hong Kong boy, come over

this is good

look at this, this one... it's good

pachinko

I've secretly rigged this machine

I'll teach you a special way to play it

it's steady income

we've to get 600,000 yen

to go into business

is it risky?

Isn't being an illegal worker risky?

Let's go for it, here's 30,000

I'm in!

Here's my 30,000

jie, go and change the presents

ok

sorry... there's no problem

let me do it

calm down, why are you so flustered?

Thanks

have you seen this kind of card before?

I think so

sir, are you not well?

I'm fine... I'm fine...

Are you sure? Yes, I'm fine

please wait thank you

you can take a seat over there

it's fine... really

why are you so nervous?

He's really unwell... let it go

all right?

Jie. Jie...

Come here

what's going on?

There's a delivery for you

go take a look

for me? What is it?

Ok... quiet down

jie, we all discussed it

you're too timid for a life of crime

we pooled our money and got you a cart

you can sell your chestnuts

work hard go have a look

tasty chestnuts, sweet and fragrant!

Sweet and fragrant!

30 percent is fate, the rest is a battle

you can only win if you

love a good fight

check it ok

Is this what you wanted? Yes

ok, I'll keep this one

looks great

such a coincidence... shopping?

My day off today, just looking around

I've been doing this recently

this is for you

for real?

Of course, it's for real.

It's from takashimaya

I mean are you really giving it to me?

Oh... boss, give me a bag

thanks!

Don't put it here, over there!

Do you have it? Two twos, any takers?

No three fours

quiet... quiet...

Steelhead's brought a woman back

And she's quite pretty

What? Seen a ghost?

Yes, two in fact

Hush...

I'm sorry

What's this?

Please

this won't work next time

remember, sort the garbage!

This is a broken shack, what's he

so pissed off for?

Don't you agree?

What did he say?

You must have got him in trouble...

By not sorting the garbage

this place is a garbage dump!

What do we need to sort?

That's right! Hey!

You can't blame him for being mad,

it's his property

if we piss him off, he'll go to the cops

who suffers? We do

hey, we have to learn Japanese...

If we want to blend into their world

we're living in their home,

we should build links

we need to communicate more

you're right

why don't I start a Japanese class

and teach you all for free?

Fantastic, count me in ok!

Me too... l want to as well...

Ok, no more talk

it's new year, time to eat!

Where are your ears? Can you hear?

He's taken my cart

let's go

Steelhead, don't mess with these people

Let's go!

Go, quickly!

Perhaps... should have killed him!

Auntie hao, the doctor is here

This is unacceptable!

We should go and teach gao a lesson!

Yes, we should chop off his hands!

And scoop out his brains! Right?

Chop them up

let's go!

Hey, what are you doing?

You think he's stupid enough to

sit and wait for us?

Aren't we going to pay him back?

You like talking about it?

If you want, just do it, don't

talk about it!

Don't be impulsive, calm down

let's think this through!

What do we do?

Jie, what do you want? Water?

I want my hand

give me my hand...

I know you and eguchi are tight

I know he'll come tonight

togawa-San

is the head of togawa-gumi in agreement?

Eguchi-San has been good to me

gao-San, I represent my father today

you won't be disappointed

you mean, the offer...

Is something I can't refuse?

My father said...

If you kill eguchi

he will give you kabuki-Cho

On opening night

did you see eguchi's wife?

Yes, she's quite pretty

she's... yuko, right?

Her name is xiu xiu

she used to work as a hostess

she looks very Japanese!

Boss, we're really going to do it?

I've wanted to for a long time

had I not played hard to get...

That wily togawa would not have

agreed to my terms!

Ask the Japanese staff to go home

then get the place ready

eguchi-San is here

welcome thank you

business has been good this month

especially at shop 2

it's up 20 percent from last month

see here

faster than I expected

yes

it should do even better next month

yes

Grab him!

Sorry, boss!

I don't really want to kill you!

Killl

Run!

Kill him! Kill him!

Run!

Not here! Go!

L... have seen you before

Thank you

They're back... step aside!

Deputy chairman

I apologise for your fright!

Darling

are you all right?

I'm fine

your old friend saved me

I'm going to change, please

attend to him

Are you hurt?

No, it's nothing

mum, is he your friend?

This is my daughter, ayako

Were you bitten by a mosquito?

She looks like you

steelhead

don't think badly of me

don't be silly

I was just a little worried

now I feel better

you're doing all right

I am now called eguchi yuko

don't worry, I understand

Ayako, come here

thank him for me

he says thank you

tell him that before gao

tried to kill him

a young man named togawa came to see him

before you arrived at the bar

a man called togawa was there

ask him what he's doing now?

He wants to know what you are doing now?

Just crappy jobs

just small jobs here and there

if he is willing to help me

I will pay him well

however much he wants

he asks

if you'll work for him

he can pay you well

however much you want

please tell him, it's all right

please thank him

go home and see your mother if you can

she cries every time she thinks of you

can you believe the irony?

Your ex saves your husband's life

I'm sorry

branch leader togawa taro

actually asked an outsider to

kill his sub-head

if we don't "expel" him

there will be unrest

where's your proof?

If you slander my father again,

I'll kill you!

What do you intend to do?

Shut up!

Any more and you will leave!

Sanwa-Kai's secret of survival...

Is unity!

Whoever brings up the word expel again...

Won't get away with it

eguchi

I can't see why togawa would

want to kill you

do you?

Eguchi has been eyeing kansai

that's why I think the Osaka

faction did it

give me a little time to investigate

go bow to togawa-gumi's leader

wipe out the past

let's make a peaceful new start

Steelhead, how's he doing?

Fever's not gone?

No, a bit delirious

maybe he's having nightmares

steelhead

a Japanese guy to see you

this reminds me of home when

I was a kid

please sit down

is this your girlfriend?

I'm Lily

you are very fluent

would you translate please?

He wants me to translate

there's no need

I want you to get rid of two guys for me

Why me?

I can't use my own men

who are these two men?

One is the head of togawa-gumi

the other is the head of

sanwa-Kai, muranishi

Ok, I'll do it

but you have to agree to all my terms

firstly

you need to get me legal status in Japan

then, you'll give me the

Taiwan gang's territories!

We not only have the same tastes

we also work the same way

Togawa-gumi is crazy!

We can't sit around and do nothing!

I'm going to kill you!

Maruyama is dead!

Attack with full force!

Gol

Recent attacks in shinjuku...

Have been classified critical

ordinary citizens are in danger

Togawal

To prevent things from going

out of control

the area commanders will take control

organised crime division

eguchi toshinari, head of the

eguchi clan

his follower nakajima hiromasa

and the late muranishi koichi...

Were close..

That guy Tanaka... isn't he a

political bigwig?

What are they doing?

Black gold politics has existed forever

don't be naive

gangs, yakuza, showbiz

you can't separate one from

the other these days

it's called capitalism

The dead have no more value

but the riches in this world still do

vengeance must be resolved

in-fighting must cease

eguchi...

I1s hereby appointed head of sanwa-Kai

togawa taro is dead

kyohel is togawa taro's heir

he'll handle the same territories

I've asked two friends to be withesses

any opposition?

Tanaka-San is elderly

don't give him cause for worry

you'll follow his orders, right?

We will watch over you

you catch my drift?

Kitano-San, they're coming over

Why is he beside eguchi?

Kabuki-Cho's merchant list

give shinjuku territories to steelhead

boss, that's not right

how can I explain it to our men?

The Chinese cannot be trusted!

He saved my life

what's wrong with giving gao's

territory to him?

Letting the Chinese control the

Chinese might work

more importantly

he will draw togawa arrows

like a bullseye

but, boss...

Enough, just do as I say

I can't go against the boss' orders

but I want you to know

I, nakajima hiromasa,

despise you people!

Brothers, onward to shinjuku!

May wealth pour in

Brother steelhead, congratulations

we old immigrants will

count on you from now

come..come..come...

Let's have a drink, thanks...

Steelhead-San

this gift is from the

head of eguchi clan

he wishes you prosperous business

thank you

here, take this inside

is this protection fee?

This stops from next month

but it's the tradition

yes, yes!

It's unfair to you all

we've all crossed the seas to get here

making it alive wasn't easy

we should work together

how can I take advantage of

my own people?

Besides, in future...

When my brothers do business

in kabuki-Cho

running a noodle shop or

Chinese restaurant

they will still need your help

then...

What happens when there's trouble?

What trouble?

There are lots of drunken louts here

can't you call the cops?

No, they're always gang members

our licenses will be affected if

there's trouble

true? Right?

Brother, kabuki-Cho lives by

one law in the day

and another by night

if you don't take this money

it will incite more fights when

others find out

I'll take it for now

we'll treat it as a loan

when I make a profit, I will return it

no... no need to return

you have your work cut out for you

for instance, improve the safety here

and don't let the young ones sell drugs

thank you, big brother

thank you... we'll take our leave

see you...

Thank you, big brother...

Thank you

jie

you've finally made it

I hope you can forget the past

Jie... jie, what are you doing? Let go...

Jie... jie, let go!

How could you?

Let's go... let's go

go quickly... jie... jie...

Don't push me! Are you

on his side or mine?

Steelhead...

Hey jie, what are you doing?

What? You want to hit me?

Calm down

30 percent is fate, the rest is a battle

you can only win if you

love a good fight

come... bottom's up

the old wine from home is still best

ganbel! Steelhead

we wouldn't be here without you

what are you saying!

Don't fight, let's drink to steelhead!

Steelhead, to you!

We have achieved some results today

but we all know in our hearts

this was achieved through

illegal means

we can't do that in the long-term

I opened this kabushiki gaisha

because I wanted us to have

a legal business

to run an entertainment club

on the lowest rent

a licensed one, not illegal

and, to grab the control of

the Taiwan gang

so that we can protect ourselves

we hear you, steelhead

we'll follow your lead

we have all suffered

that's why I want to

set aside some money

to help those who have just arrived.

Help them find jobs

I want this responsibility to go to...

How about to jie?

Everyone ok?

Good!

Then I would like to do something

that interests me

in future, the business here

will go to...

It's yours, Hong Kong boy

I'm not sure if I can

you'll have tai Bo and hu,

they have experience

try it out

remember, be united!

Jie, any problems?

Thank you

Thank you, everyone

A toast to steelhead, cheers!

Come... come, drink

steelhead

we're tired, we're going to go

ok, go on then

Congratulations, you finally made it

what do you mean?

I want to see if you are illegal

So you finally got it

you owe me one

I let you go once, the debt is paid

just once? That's worth a life?

Half the debt then?

Ok, half!

I hope you can be a good man

because I don't want to...

Come after you one day

That'd be just great!

One, two, three

You have more grey hair

I'm forty something!

Finding me old?

In your heart

what's the most important thing in life?

That's a loaded question

man's most original wants...

Were for food and shelter

but when we see what we don't have...

Our desires grow

xiu xiu, what are you looking at?

Why so many people?

Look... there's a fridge,

and a color TV

go back let's just take a look

you'll break the windows! Go home!

Let's go... don't look,

it's no big deal

look at her! Let's go... come on

I want to find a job out there one day

don't go, you'll never come back

why do you say that?

Because the city is vibrant

it's colorful, and different from here

if you go, you won't want to return

you're wrong are you sure?

You're wrong I'm dead right

since becoming a wife and mother

I know what I value in life

You have to learn to be content

when people have been oppressed...

Or when they have certain demands

when they have established a force

that force evolves into power

mobs have historically

been formed like this

unfortunately, power changes people

from passive and tolerant, they

begin to get aggressive

they lose control of themselves

more than 1.5 million foreigners

living in Japan

What a broken and dirty place!

How can anyone live here?

What are you saying?

I used to live here!

It's smelly!

Wasn't this cooked by my mother?

She's been dead so many years, and

it's still here!

Damn it

where's that bastard tai Bo?

Here, here

why's the place so run down?

Stop shouting

we're businessmen now

cut the crap! Where's the stuff?

Come, have a look

500 pills

one kilo, the money?

You only deliver once a week

how am I going to make money?

Cops have been clamping down,

there's not enough goods

just add some ketamine, you'll be

high in no time

Shizuko, I just bought a convertible

I want to take you for a spin

I'm busy

is it because of this?

I've already gone for laser treatments

it will disappear soon

I guarantee it will disappear!

What's going on?

It's a friend

friend? When did I become a friend?

If we're friends, how come

you can't even look at me?

What's your problem?

What are you looking at?

It's very cute

Stop, don't hit him!

Stop

what?

What's up?

Don't aggravate him

go in for a drink, ok?

Let's all go in!

What are you guys up to?

How can you let foreigners trample

all over your turf?

Eguchi brought them in

why didn't you question eguchi?

He's the boss. I have no such right

Eguchi, let me ask you something

master, what's the matter?

Who are those Chinese people?

It's better if they take care of

certain things

it's ok to use them

but you can't let them build up power

they're just our chess pieces

it's ok to have chess pieces

you can't let your own people suffer

I will be honest with you

that's my plan exactly

I want to use them to

take care of kyohei

master

I think sanwa-Kai needs to re-organise

about that...

I et's talk later

don't be too conspicuous, understand?

Definitely, sorry to trouble you!

Damn it!

Ruled by ambition

time to let him go

Can you do it?

Come in!

Kitano-San

have some tea

very fragrant

it's the best oolong tea

hard to believe that

so much success in so short a time

it's just a small business

this is not small

roppongi, aoyama and shibuya,

all yours now

it's not small!

These are papers on

toka shouiji trading company

police already ID-ed you as katou-gumi

the biggest foreign gang in Japan

you must be mistaken

you even dare sell drugs

if you have proof, arrest me

what are you trying to say?

Your men must be hiding things from you

secretly working with eguchi

who's working with eguchi?

It's your buddy jie

if it is him, I will stop him

don't delay

but I have a request

you're in no position to ask

don't arrest my people

impossible! Cops arrest crooks,

that's the game

but...

If you find evidence

incriminating eguchi

I can help with certain things

steelhead

I've wanted to ask you

muranishi koichi, togawa taro

did you kill them?

You speak out of turn!

Steelhead, ignore him

no matter what, I need time

steelhead

I have repaid my debt in full

Big brother

where's Hong Kong boy?

He's just gone out, back soon

my number will win

I've won! You lucky bastard

there are guests here, keep it down

he told you to pipe down

he's talking to you

what are you saying? Shut up

you looking for trouble?

Where are you from?

We're katou-gumi

let me teach you a lesson

punch him!

Let go... let go!

Let go! Do you want to die?

You dare hit big brother?

Do you know who he is? Brother steelhead!

Are you ok?

Who are they?

Jie's followers

they just arrived, they're ignorant

it's a mess

you again? Goldie!

Is that you? Always making trouble!

Apologise! Apologise now!

Sorry, big brother!

Go! Run!

How did eguchi look for jie?

He has a lot of men

you told him to take care of

the new ones

are we a triad gang now?

It's for survival, don't interfere

When I came over

most of the people got caught

you were lucky

perhaps

steelhead

why don't we leave Japan?

To go where?

I have a good friend in Brazil

what language do they speak there?

I think it's Portuguese

what can I do there?

Something that lets you sleep at night

I can't leave them behind

don't be naive

life is one big mistake

how many can you help? Or save?

You can't do anything

why have you called me here?

I don't look after

domestic disturbances!

As long as you don't arrest my people

I will turn evidence against eguchi

eguchi asked me to kill

muranishi and togawa

steelhead... what are you doing?

Have you gone mad? Are they worth it?

Are they worth this?

It's all lies

pay him no heed

he's only trying to save his brothers

he's lying to you!

He's lying!

What are you trying to do?

Do you want eguchi go to jail

so xiu xiu will come back to you?

Have you ever considered my feelings?

You are so selfish!

Steelhead

let's just leave, ok?

Lily, I can't live in regret

who do you live for?

Your brothers?

Your ex-girlfriend?

Or for me?

She seems to have fallen for you

if I were her

I'd kill you

Gao, if you want back kabuki-Cho

you'll have to rely on yourself

yes!

Kill kyohei and Tanaka for me

what do I get?

All the Chinese territories go to you

eguchi-San

your men have all betrayed you

Now is the time for us to use

the bushido way

to get rid of the Chinese pigs!

Aren't we here for war?

What are we waiting for?

Shut up and sit down and eat

they're talking upstairs

What if they don't listen to you?

Then send them all back to China

they have legal documents

let's play it by ear!

Aren't you afraid I'll run?

It's a lifelong job going after

guys like you

Steelhead

what are you doing?

Isn't he a cop?

The cops know you are a criminal outfit

what's this you and us stuff?

Aren't we one family?

Chairman eguchi

I was just looking for you!

Why are you in cahoots with him?

Be clear in what you say

you worked with him first.

What about you?

When did you join the cops?

How could you deal drugs?

Don't just pick on me

could I have done all this alone?

All of you are in this?

No... not me

they said they wanted to

if you did it, then own up!

Hey, you didn't want to run things

you just upped and left

can you hear yourself?

Stop squabbling

ingrate! Don't talk to me!

Tai Bo... stop quarrelling

Lao gwei! Why are you speaking for him?

We're only making some

money, what's the big deal?

We didn't sell to the Chinese

steelhead

since we all agreed to it

keep out of it

the cops want to catch someone, who?

Mel

what have you turned into?

Especially you. Look at you!

You look like a ghost, you know that?

Ghost?

If there is one, you let it out

you're the real ghost!

Wake up!

Steelhead, you've done all you can

leave it for now

you can't leave!

Don't let them leave get away...

You can't leave... get away!

You know the repercussions of

attacking a cop?

We're family, stop fighting

are you crazy?

You treat the cops as family?

If you follow him, it's a dead end!

You are the one heading for a dead end

you've forgotten you killed someone?

I killed

I did it for you!

Stop bullshitting!

You killed the border guard so

you could see your woman

you killed the yakuza because

you wanted legal status

for the money, for yourself!

So what if I did? Didn't you

get something too?

Didn't all of you get something?

All you have today, who fought for it?

Without me, where would you be?

You really want to talk like that?

When you first came to Japan

who looked out for you?

Without me, you'd be eating turd!

Didn't I risk my life too?

Steelhead, you're wrong to say that

what? Want to take me on?

The matter wouldn't end there

the Japanese won't let you go

he won't let the Chinese take power

he'll destroy you sooner or later!

Kitano-San has already said

he only wants eguchi

if you stop your activities

he'll let you go

don't fall for it

if I fall, you all fall

get them!

Don't move!

Kitano-San

get away!

Wait

calm down, steelhead

go back with me

jie

just kill me

jie

shoot! Don't do this!

Jie

go away

have you gone mad?

A knife? This is not child's play

we can talk about anything

and come to an agreement

Chinese don't fight Chinese...

Breaking my winning streak

you want my life?

What do you expect from me?

Go up!

Come!

Hong Kong boy

check on Lao gwel, hurry. Help him

Let's get upstairs

jie, no

jie

Don't leave. You're all dead!

Hey, come out!

Go up!

Gol

steelhead

Get away!

Don't. Don't...

Go

Fang, help!

Jie, run

run, run!

No, eguchi

Eguchi

Kobayashi, it's me

bring men down to toka shouiji

quickly!

I can't believe nakajima sold me out

This is for you

all the information is in there

your cop friend can get a promotion

I think... I could have gone out

with a bigger bang

Eguchi

nakajima, eguchi is dead

he said, he'll come back as a ghost

to haunt you

give me the knife!

Don't let him go

steelhead!

Dail

dail dail

gol

steelhead, here

There are stairs outside

Kitano, are you ok?

Open fire if they resist, let's go!

Don't run!

Steelhead

It seems

I'm still a coward

stop doing this, jie!

Xiu xiu, is that you?

What's happened?

Stay calm

eguchi is dead

quickly pack and find a safe hideaway

how about this?

Bring your daughter

to the Okubo station, I'll

wait for you. Hurry!

Well?

Speak up!

Tell us!

You'll regret not talking

your kid will die. Speak!

Ayako

don't...

Ayako...

What happened?

The cops are here

go to Okubo station now

take care of steelhead!

Where are you?

Okubo station

I'm 0 n my w a y

get me a car

over there

There

Are you ok?

Don't shoot!

Nakajima!

Stop, don't shoot!

Emergency! Officer down!

How many men are down?

Get an ambulance here...

Steelhead! Steelhead!

Steelhead!

Steelhead!

Hang on!

Your lung must be punctured!

It's no use

I have repaid my debt

Steelhead!

We can call it even

what did you say?

Steelhead, what did you say?

30 percent is fate

the rest is a battle

you can only win if you

love a good fight
