There's a game you can join.

This way.

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.

TAKANORI JINNAI

Directed by SEIJI IZUMI

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.
