TOEI

TOCHIGI PRISON

Come in.

Thank you.

Hello, ladies.

Excuse me, old lady.

That spot has my name on it.

Listen to the new fish.

First, you better learn
how to talk around here.

What did you say?

Do you know who I am?

Look at me.
Do I look like a new fish?

Don't you know
who you're talking to?

Everyone in the prison system
knows who I am.

My name is Tome,
the best pickpocket in Japan.

We know about you, all right.
You're small-time.

- ""Small-time''?
- Damn right.

You calling me small-time?

What?

So, Old Lady. Let's go.

Move.

- I said, ""move.''
- Be quiet.

Who the hell are you, bitch?

Can you keep it down?

To hell with you!

Ouch. Ouch.

Allow me to introduce myself.

We welcome you here.

I apologize on behalf of everyone here
for the way we greeted you.

I was born and raised in Kanto District.

My hometown is Shinbashi,
in beautiful Tokyo.

My surname is Higuchi,
my given name, Nami.

People call me,
Nami the Red Cherry Blossom.

I'm really nobody.
I'm nothing but a wanderer.

ONE YEAR LATER

Did he really get on this train?

I saw him get on.

- Find him.
- Yeah.

Aren't you feisty?

I apologize, though.
Those thugs are after me.

This is my card.

Please. I want you to keep it.

You're going to Tokyo, right?

Come see me when you're in Ginza.

I'm a good person to know.

See you later.

Ginza. I hadn't been here for three years.

The neon lights haven't changed.

Somewhere in this town-

She's somewhere in this town.

Higuchi.

Do you know a woman
by the name of Saeko Yajima?

She came here today...

to submit a petition
to reduce your sentence.

Stay on your best behavior.

Work hard for an early release.
You can repay her that way.

Don't you think so?

She did that. For me.

Ryuji. Did you hear what I said?

Yes, I did.

You want me to let you know if I see Shin.

Excuse me.

He'll be back in town, sooner or later.

I agree.

He grew up here.
Ginza is his stomping ground.

It might turn into his graveyard.
It's up to you guys.

- Get it?
- Got it.

Ryuji.

Don't underestimate us.
We're the Owada Enterprise.

You hear me?

- Ooh.
- Pervert.

Morons.

I wouldn't hang around in Ginza
if I was scared of the Owadas.

What the hell?

You don't know how to shoot pool, do you?

Not bad.

Uncle!

Nami.

When did you get out?

Today.

Thank you for all you've done.

If I had known,
I would have come to pick you up.

It must have been tough.

Come this way. Let's talk.

Uncle.

Do you know where she is?

Who?

Saeko Yajima.

Her.

You're already thinking about her
on your first day of freedom.

You haven't changed.

I just want to see her.

Okay.

Yo, Ryuji.

What?

You know Club Silky's madam, don't you?

- Sure. Saeko.
- Yup.

Silky closed down six months ago.

She's a hostess at Broncho now.

Do you really know her?

Yes, indeed, young lady.

Young lady, consider yourself lucky.

There are 25,000 hostesses
and 250 madams in Ginza alone.

If it weren't for me, it would have been
next to impossible to find Saeko.

Hey. She's my friend.
And stop bragging.

But it's true.

I'm sorry.
I haven't introduced myself yet.

This is my name.
RYUJI AZUMA

- Hi.
- Good evening.

We've got this bad mob boss in Ginza,
called Owada.

He runs a business
called Owada Enterprises.

But he's just a gangster,
a loan shark.

- Hey, you.
- Hi there.

Poor Saeko just fell victim to Owada.

He took over her business
to settle her debt.

Owada?

See you soon. Take care.

That little brat.

Hey, Yuka.

Hi, Ryu.

""Hi, Ryu''?

Who just gave you a ride?

It was Ito of Chat Noir, wasn't it?

We just had tea. That's all.

That hurts.

You stupid brat.

I'm worried about
what he'll want next.

And don't you even think about
leaving us for his club.

I got it. Sorry.

Give her a break.

She's a schoolgirl.

A schoolgirl? Yeah, right.

Schoolgirl by day,
bar hostess by night.

Who knows which is her priority?

A hostess?

Hi, Ryu.

- Kyoko.
- Ryu.

You're always with pretty girls.
Business is good, I guess.

How's Saeko?

She's hasn't worked for the last few days.

Again?

Kidney trouble, isn't it?

Yeah.

We can't afford to be sick.

Our job doesn't come with
health insurance or retirement bonuses.

See you later.

Now what?
You want to see Saeko, right?

Do you know her address?

This is her apartment.
And this is my condominium.

Seifu Apartments in Roppongi.

Thanks.

Hey. My place is in Hamamatsu.
Don't be a stranger.

SEI FU APARTMENTS

Did she collapse again?

Saeko, you have to stay in bed.

Didn't Kyoko tell you?

- You have to rest.
- Mom.

I'll go get the doctor.

Hiroshi, I'm all right.

No, you're not. Here you go.

Do I have money?

I do. Hiroshi, go get the doc.

You okay?

Thank you so much...

for helping us all the time.

Don't you worry.

CLUB BRONCHO

Hello, Mister.
This is Kyoko calling.

Can you stop by tonight?
I missed you.

What? A business trip?

You're his secretary?

It's going to be a slow night.

I hate it. I hate it.
I started bleeding.

Well, you should be happy.
You're not pregnant.

Ouch.

You're so right.

Good evening.

- Good evening, Madam.
- Good evening.

Who is that?

A new hostess.

See you soon.

Madam.
You're doing good business.

Thanks to patrons like you.

Please. Don't touch me there.

It tickles.

That's so funny.

Anyway, she was a virgin.

So was he.

He said, ""Please let me touch you.''

She said,
""No. Stop. Ooh, right there.''

Hello.

- Hi there.
- Glad to see you.

I can see you're not suffering
from a recession here.

Thank you very much.

How's your business, Mr. Owada?

We're barely surviving.

Please. Sit down.

By the way, Mama.

Have you seen Shin lately?

Shin?

It looks like he's in a bit of a jam again.

He cheated someone out of
a million yen with a forged check.

We're looking for him.

You'll let me know
if you see him, right?

Of course.

Really?

We heard that you two
are pretty cozy these days.

Hello.

Mr. Owada,
this is our newest addition, Nami.

His company owns a number
of bars and restaurants in Ginza.

Two points.

Seven points added.

Seven ball in the corner pocket.

You're back.

You're still good.

Not as good as I used to be.

Even I couldn't beat you back then.

Uncle.
Thank you for letting me stay here.

It's fine.

I feel bad
that I can't do more for you.

Your father really looked after me
when he was alive.

My father taught you
how to cheat at cards.

And you taught him
how to hustle pool, right?

How the hell do you remember
such things?

Five points.

Hey.

Here's 300,000 yen as an advance.

It's for you from Madam.

Thanks.

I took out 50,000 as a service fee.

You're shrewd, aren't you?

Will you give this to Saeko,
as your gift to her?

To Saeko?

200,000 yen? What's going on?

No questions, please.

Just tell her it's from you.

Fine.
As long as it's not really my money.

- Ryu?
- Huh?

Ever heard of the company
called Towa Planning?

Towa Planning?

I'm getting serious
about this hostess business.

Attagirl.

Shinnosuke Matsudaira ofTowa.

Shinnosuke?

What's so funny?

Shinnosuke Matsudaira is my mentor.

He's notorious in Ginza
as Shin the Player.

Is that true?

Hi there.

I had a feeling you'd show up soon.

Did you get the money?

Yes. With help from one of my regulars.

Someone told me
that check was a fake.

Pretty much.

Owada came by to ask me about you.

He's making a big deal out of nothing.

How about some coffee?

I can't stay long.

I'm going to hide
until this thing blows over.

Where?

Who knows?
Wherever the winds take me.

You're selfish, you know that?

I've always been that way.

Yes, you have.
You always have been.

Here's one million yen. Count it.

Buy yourself a new kimono.

You don't have to.

I know I don't have to.

Your business is slowing down.
Just keep it.

Maybe I should be a mistress
to a rich old guy.

That would make my life easier.

We're not like that. Remember?

Why do we have to make
Kyoko's customers pay their tab?

You really think the guy will pay?

We came all the way out here.

You can go home. I'll go by myself.

Nami.

How naive.
We won't get the money.

Like I said, I don't have any money.

You're not paying then?

No, I'm not.

Mr. Kayama,
I'm here on behalf of Kyoko.

She's ill.
She needs to be hospitalized.

Please help her.

That's none of my business.

I have to get back to work.
Go home.

Hold on.

You cheap bastard.

I was being nice
because you're a customer.

Think you can skip out on your bills?
Times are tough for everyone.

Wha- I didn't expect this from you.

See? You have to pay for your booze.

Don't you think so?

Don't underestimate me
just because I'm a girl.

Fine.

You have to learn the hard way,
don't you?

Hey.

What are you doing?

Since you're not paying,
I'll take this truck instead.

That's okay, isn't it?

Stop it. That's not funny.

Nami. Hey.

Nami, Nami.

- Hey, you. Let go of me.
- You win. I'll pay.

I can't work without this truck.

Let go!

Okay. I'll pay up.
I said I'll pay.

Shit. I'll catch cold now.

Come back here!

I'll pay it off!.

Hi, Nami.

Wait, wait.

Thank you so much.

- Is Kyoko in?
- No, she's over there.

Time's up. Place your bets.

Go ahead.

Please.

Atsu. Can I borrow 50,000?

- No, you can't.
- Please.

Okay. Then 20 will do. Please.

You aren't winning today. Go home.

No, no.
I'm just getting warmed up.

We'll do this in your apartment
next week.

Bring the high rollers, okay?

Okay. But I need 1 0,000 yen now.

Kyoko.

- Nami is here.
- Great.

Thank you for coming.
This is what's going on.

- I can see that you're sick.
- Exactly.

Don't be a smart-ass.

Here's your 500,000 yen.

You've saved me.
I was completely broke.

Why don't you come in?

Excuse us. Sorry.

Kyoko. I think you should stop now.

My luck has just changed
for the better.

- Ready?
- Yes.

Here we go.

Place your bets.

This is everything I have.

That's it? No more bets?

50,000 yen for the bottom half.

Here.

Thank you, sir. Here we go.

The first hand is two.
The second hand, nine.

- Shoot.
- Kyoko.

Kyoko, is it okay if I try?

No way.
You've never done this, have you?

Let me take a shot.
Let's see what happens.

Okay.

Excuse me.

So, Broncho's hostesses are all gamblers,
aren't they?

Let's go.

Please place your bets now.

Come on, now.

50,000 yen for the second.

200,000 yen for the second.

How about more bets on the first?

How about you, madam?

Sure. I'll do it.

No more bets? Anyone?

Well then. Allow me.

Game.

The first hand is two.

The second hand, nine.

All right.

Nami. You won.

Groovy.

Well, shall we go?

Thank you for having us.

Thanks.

Taking off right after your win?

You must know when to quit,
especially in fighting and gambling.

Absolutely. So very true.

We're out of here.

The wandering birds brought autumn

The small lights illuminate the cape

A man and a woman

A night and a dream

The moonlight on the pier in the harbor

I will shed my tears again

It's always dark here

The town of seagulls, this harbor town

I'm so happy now.

Mr. Yu, can you pay off your tab?

Madam is just scraping by.

I have money.

Cool. Let's get out of this dump.
Take me someplace you like.

Someplace I like?

I know just the spot for us.

I want to shed my tears again

It's always bright here

The town of seagulls, this harbor town

How's your bath?

Wonderful.

Listen. I've washed my entire body...

except for one part.

Let's wash each other.

Come on.

Don't rush me. I'll be right there.

I really want you here now.

Thank you very much.

- Mr. Yu?
- Yeah?

I'm happy, too.

You are?

I'll be there in just a second.

Hurry up.

Don't look.

Okay.

Why are you still dressed?

Thank you for your business.

I'll leave your receipt over there.

Thank you very much.

Hey.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

- Your first payday. Congratulations.
- Thanks.

The madam at Broncho
is very glad I brought you there.

What's up?

Here's money.
Take it to Saeko.

Again?

Am I asking too much?

No. It's not that.

Just come up with an excuse, will you?

Her illness is still bad, isn't it?

What's the relationship
between you two, anyway?

I told you. No questions.

No problem.

I have no clue what's going on,
but I'll give it to her.

It's my treat today.
Get anything you want.

Hello? This is a coffee shop.

Hey.

Bro.

Excuse me.

So that's why she had your card.

That's right.

She saved my ass. Look after her.

Come on. Bottoms up.

I already do look after her.

Do you? Nothing more, right?

Nami.

He always vanished
whenever a fight broke out.

He was called Ryu the Pushover.

He was like a potato.

Bro, that hurts.

What about you?
You would bang any woman that moves.

Shut the hell up.

Bro, the Owadas are tracking you down.

- Where have you been?
- Everywhere. Building up my skills.

At what?

None of your business. Drop it.

Hey.

Shin, come to our office, will you?

Speak of the devil.

Last time I saw you,
we were in Utsunomiya.

You're a hard man to find.

Let's go!

Okay.

Let me go to the men's room first.

What for?

What do you think?

You either take a piss
or a shit in the men's room, right?

Hurry up.

Enjoy the rest of your meal.

- After all your talk of shit?
- Yup.

What's going to happen to him?

He'll be fine. He can handle them.

- That was quick.
- They're out of paper.

Out of paper?

- Why, you!
- Go get him.

Ryuji.

Find him and bring him to the office.

I've got nothing to do with this.

Yes, you do. He's your mentor.

You must know where he hides out.

Until then, we'll keep the girl.
Got it?

OWADA ENTERPRISES

Sir.

I hear you're pretty tough for a girl.

What do you say?
Wanna go on a date with me?

Mr. Owada.

I don't even know him.
You have to let me go.

As I said...

I will when he shows up.

He's not coming.

We've got nothing to do with each other.

That may or may not be true.

We'll find out when he gets here.

I knew you'd come.

You're a sucker when it comes to girls.

I'm not crazy about all women.

But I owe her.

Shin.

I just want to settle the score
over that check.

It was a million yen, right?

Stock in Mitsuboshi Electric.

20 stock certificates of a thousand shares.
50 yen per share.

The total comes to a million yen.

Think you can get away with this?

It closed at 7 0 yen today.

So these are worth about 1 .5 million yen.

Is that a good deal or what?

Can we really trust you with these?

Of course.

Are there any companies
more stable than Mitsuboshi?

Deal. You can go for now.

But listen, Shin.

Don't you dare act like
you're the king of Ginza.

Understood.

I don't want to be on your bad side.
I'd be out of work in this town.

Okay, then.
We'll be going now.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to get you involved.

But I'm glad nothing serious happened.

You lost your stock certificates.

They're called double stocks.

Basically, they're fake. Forged.

You can make it or break it
with those things.

It depends on how smart Owada is.

I guess you're living up to your name.

Dog eat dog. Cheat or be cheated.

That's how it is here in Ginza.

Hi. How's it going?

- Long time no see.
- How are you?

Pretty good.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

I used to be a shoeshine boy.

A shoeshine boy, a doorman,
a bartender, a hostess-scout.

I've done many things since I was a kid.

A straight shooter can't survive in Ginza.

You were alone all those years?

Yeah.

I was a war orphan.

I'm all alone, too.

I didn't know that.

So is Ryuji. From one orphanage
to another, then to juvie.

The three of us
have that in common, I guess.

Mister!

Hi, Ginko.

How's school?

If I go to school, I can't make money.

Listen.
You have to go to school.

Will you buy some flowers?

Sure. Go back to school, okay?

Thank you.

She's an orphan, too.

She was found in Ginza,
so they named her Ginko.

There are so many people here.

Many people end up here in Ginza.
Lots of them fell between the cracks.

Shin the Player.

I kind oflike him.

Hold it right there.

You-

You're Tome, aren't you?

Oh, Nami.
It's been a long time.

What are you doing here?

I got out yesterday.
I needed money to go home to Osaka.

What are the odds
of you picking me?

I wouldn't have
if I'd known it was you.

I didn't recognize you.
You cleaned up well.

- Oh, please.
- Seriously.

What do you do?
Are you a waitress?

I'm a hostess now.

I work at a club called Broncho.
It's a high-end club.

Hostess? I want to do that.
Can you hook me up?

Get real.

You're right. I couldn't do that.

Picking pockets is what I do best.

Hey, Tome.

Here. Go home to Osaka.

This is a lot of money.

Really? Thanks.

You can always count on
your former cell mate.

Take care. Take care.

Gee.
It's time she straightened up.

I can't stand Madam anymore.

She hires all those sluts on the street.

I hear Nami is pretty popular.

Give me a break.

We may need more hostesses...

but what about our reputation?

Maybe it's time to have
a new madam for the club.

What are you saying?

You can have the job
if you're up to it.

Really? Do you mean that?

Maybe.

Boss, Mr. Nishimura is here.

- Hello.
- Thank you for coming.

Did you bring the title deed for Broncho?

Yes, I did.

I want to talk to you more about it.

Hello.

No customers yet?

I brought Ryu with me.

Guys, is something wrong?

Nami?

I heard something about you.

I heard you did time.

Right on.

A woman with an Osaka accent
stopped by.

She asked me to give this to you.

Sorry, Nami.

I forgot to return this.

Me and my sticky fingers.
Tome.

A hostess who served time.
We can't go any lower than that.

I'm with you.

I can't stand it.

Miki, who's done time?

Oh.

Ryu, didn't you know?

She's right over there.

You should start doing a background check
for girls from now on...

if you want to stay in business.

Beauty doesn't mean innocence,
does it?

Miki, knock it off.

Why should I? It's true.

Was she a hardened criminal
with a long rap sheet?

- You bet.
- A real one.

I did time. So what?

What are you doing?

So what if I'm an ex con?

Nami. Don't.

Cat got your tongue?

Nami. Stop it!

Stop it.

Get out of my way.

Did anyone tell you
it was going to be easy?

You're a hostess now.

What if we had customers
right at this moment?

Nami!

Nami.

Wait.

Get up, Nami.

Wipe it off.

Here.

It's okay.

You can tell me.

Three years ago...

I was a member of a girl gang
called Hizakura.

We were waiting for Yajima
of the Honjo family that day.

They had ambushed two of us.
We were seeking revenge.

There's Yajima.

Honey!

Honey!

Come on, Nami.
What are you doing?

Let's go.

I see.

You stabbed a yakuza boss.
Man, you were bad.

Sorry I didn't tell you.

None of my business.

You know what? I'm impressed.

You did something
that not all of us can.

But that's all over.

What is?

Who wants to hire a hostess
with a criminal past?

All this because of
some broad from Osaka.

But don't feel bad about yourself.

Every single girl in Ginza...

has a wound from the past
that they can't talk about.

Hey. Cheer up.

I'll talk to Madam.

I'll tell her you're serious
about this job.

Besides, it's hard to find
a hostess like you.

You're young and beautiful.

Gentle, but tough.

He's right.

Ryu is right about that.

Madam, I didn't know you were here.

It's okay, Nami.
Let's put this behind us.

I can't afford to lose
a great hostess like you.

Of course.

Let's go back in.

Thank you, Mama.

Watch out.

Hiroshi.

How is your mother doing today?

She told me she was better today
because it's sunny.

Aunt Kyoko is at the Pachinko parlor.

I see.

Hiroshi.
I've brought this for you.

Mom, I got this from a lady.

It's a teddy bear.

Excuse me.

Did you give him this?

Yes. It's from Ryu.

And this, too.

This is for you.

I want you to stop this.

I know you're his friend.

I just want to know
why you're doing this.

Well, I...

I was only asked
to give this to you.

I can't accept it.

Tell Ryu that I won't accept
any more money from him.

But-

Please.

Hirobo.

Nami?
What are you doing here?

Nami?

Hiro. Come here.

I brought you some cake.

That's a big teddy bear.
Where did you get it?

From this lady.

That's wonderful.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Come see me later.
I'll make some tea.

See you.

Please.

Will you keep the money?

Your name-
Is your name Nami?

I'm very sorry.

My name is Nami Higuchi.

I killed your husband
three years ago.

Of course.

Please forgive me.

I was going to come see you
when you recovered from your illness.

I know you petitioned
to reduce my sentence.

I've been wanting to thank you
in person for your generosity.

I know this won't change a thing,
but I want you to keep it.

Nami.

You were imprisoned
for three long years.

You don't have to do this anymore.

I will pay you back
the money I got from Ryu...

as soon as I get well
and go back to work.

But...

Please keep this. For me.

I'm going now.

Madam. Thank you for coming.

What is it?

Let's see.

It's about the four-million-yen loan
you took out from Nishimura Finance.

Our company will be the lender.

Your company?

I'm their new partner.

You have until the end of the month.

To pay off the debt?
You think I can do that?

I understand the balance
was due a long time ago.

We don't tolerate
delinquent customers.

As of now, your interest rate
is 1 0% every 1 0 days.

Madam, what do you say?

Is that place
really worth the trouble?

Why don't you let us handle it?

I'll pay you up to 1 3 million yen.

You can't be serious.

The place is worth twice that much.

You're planning to take over
my business using my debt.

Exactly, Madam.

That's exactly right.

I won't do it.

All right.
Then you'll have to pay off your debt.

You have only five days
until the end of the month.

Oh, and Sayo
still owes us a million yen.

You cosigned her loan.
That brings the total to five million.

I'll pay you back.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Boss, shall we scare her a little?

- Good evening.
- Hi.

Miki.

Hey. Where are you girls going?

We quit Broncho.

You quit?

It's our first day. Come see us.

- You all quit?
- Yes.

We weren't making any money
in that dump.

You guys.

I brought you there.
You should have told me.

No, they didn't have to.

- Go on in, girls.
- Later.

Those three belong to us now.

You got anything to say?

Sorry about that.

What's going on?

- Hello.
- Hello. Welcome.

Good evening, ladies.

Hello. What would you like?

- Some coffee and cake.
- I'll have milk.

A glass of water.

Gyoza with a bowl of rice.

This is a bar.
We don't serve those things.

She says, ""This is a bar.''

Idiot.

We expect gorgeous girls in a bar.
Not some chubby pigs like this.

Don't touch me.

How dare you call me chubby!

Look at yourselves.
You're totally out of shape.

Shut up, bitch.

Madam.

- Right. Go get her.
- Where is she?

Will you keep it down?

We have other customers.

Stop acting like you're in charge.

Until you pay off your debt,
the bar belongs to us.

We'll do whatever we want.

Madam. Shall I call the police?

What?

Go ahead.
Let's get the party going.

Call the police and we'll make sure
you don't have any more customers.

Would you like that?

- Give them a break.
- Get lost, Ryuji.

Ryuji, it's time you moved on.
This dump will close down.

Why don't you work for us?

I'm not the gangster type.

- What?
- Come on.

We don't have time to deal with this pig.

Those guys took away Miki and the other two.

I knew it.
I knew something was up with those girls.

Madam.

Is it true that you owe the Owadas?

It has nothing to do with you girls.

Of course it does.

They trashed our place.
They took the girls from us.

Are you responsible
for Sayo's debt, too?

Don't you worry.

I'll come up with something.

Uncle!

What's wrong? You look serious.

Do you know anyone I can hustle?

Hustle?

I have to.

I need some money.

Is this about Broncho?

They're trying to take over the place.

You don't have to feel responsible.

She's been very kind to me.
I can't just sit by and watch.

I understand.

If you're going to do it,
go up against Owada himself.

Owada?

What?

You want to settle the debt with this?

What are the conditions?

If we win, you give up Broncho.

And if you lose?

You'll get my property.

Both the building and the land.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

I'm sick of watching
small-time hustlers here.

I'd like to see the game of the century.

Who's shooting?

I've got someone already.

So? Are you in?

Why not? I'll do it.

I heard.

You and Owada are having a match.

You shouldn't do it.

He's got Ryu the Third Eye.

Doesn't matter who's shooting.

Ryu.

This crank costs a small fortune.

Don't screw this up.

Well, sir.
You have the title deed with you, right?

Let the game begin.

We'll start a one-off match
of three cushions, 50 points.

Mr. Harada and I are the witnesses.

As agreed,
the first shooter, Ryu.

Three Cushion.

The cue ball has to hit three cushions
before it hits the second object ball.

It's a game that requires
highly-skilled technique.

One.

One point.

One.

Two.

She's doing good.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Pretty good.

He's trying to distract me with the powder.

Five points.

One.

Two.

Two points.

He left the ball in a tough spot.

Go for it.

One.

Now the mirror?

Hold on.

Put that down.
That distracts the shooter.

Three.

Four.

Seven.

I may lose. I have to do something.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Ryu's on a roll. He'll probably win.

The game has just begun.

Nothing.

Three more points.

Nami. Don't miss this chance.

You can do it.

I have to score six more points.

I can do this.

I can win this game.

One.

Five more points.

Two.

Four more points.

Three.

Three more points.

Four.

Two more points.

Five.

One more point.

If I get this shot...

I will win.

Six points.

Game over.

- We won.
- You did it, Nami.

Congratulations.

Nami, thank you so much.

Mr. Owada. We won.

You'll tear up
the loan agreement, right?

I'm not going to do that.
Not for this stupid game.

What?

Owada. You promised.

- Old man.
- Don't touch me!

What are you doing?

You ain't got no shame.

Sons of bitches.

Mr. Owada.
You call yourself a man?

Shut up, bitch.
Don't make me hurt you.

Madam, please sign this conveyance deed.

This is dirty.

Just do it.

Do it, already.

I knew something like this
would go down, Owada.

Bro.

You little punk.
Shut your mouth.

Shin, this doesn't concern you.

That's not quite true.

I've got this signed letter
from Mr. Nishimura.

""Regarding the ownership of Club Broncho,
this letter is to clarify my position.

I was forced by the Owadas
to sign the paper.''

He even put his personal seal on it.

Liar.

Maybe you forced him
to write that letter.

We can go to the police,
if that's what you want.

I understand that Nami won the game.

Come on, Owada.
We know each other well.

Don't be a sore loser.

Besides, I should have my say
about Broncho's future.

What?

No one knows about this.

Kayo and I are married.

Check out our wedding bands.

Kayo has a diamond on hers.
Mine has a sapphire.

That's bullshit!

We got our marriage certificate
two days ago.

City hall will vouch for that.

Right, Kayo?

You know what?
Give us the right number.

We may actually think about it.

Discuss this with your associates.

Guys.

- Shall we go?
- Let's go.

Hey.

Whoa, whoa.

If you hurt us now, you won't be able
to obtain the rights to the bar.

Boss, we don't need Shin around, do we?

I'm worried.
What will he do now?

At least no one got hurt today.

But we're talking about Owada.

I know how he thinks.
We're both a cancer on society.

We never make a move
that's going to cost us.

You always worry, do you know that?

You lied.

About what?

About us being married.

Do you like the idea though?

Of marrying you?

It's time you gave up.

Give it all up and marry me.

You really are selfish, aren't you?

Am I?

I can't win.

That's quite all right.

You know what to say.

How about some flowers?

No thanks.

Mister, will you buy flowers?

Some other time. Okay?

There he is. Mister!

Mister!

How's business?

It's pretty stale.

Would you buy some flowers?

Guess what?
I'll buy all the flowers.

Really? This is why you're my favorite.

I love you.

You little she-devil.

Will you be my bride
when you grow up?

Really? Of course, I will.

Bastard.

Mister!

Mister, are you okay?

Ginko.

Please don't die. Don't die.

TOKYO MEDICAL EXAMI NER'S OFFICE

Brother.

Why? Why so soon?

Are you really dead?

I can't believe it.

This must be another one of your lies.

Ever since you brought me to Ginza...

I always believed in your lies.

You made me strong.

You can't fool me anymore.

You said you wanted to marry me.

You made me so happy.

Your toast is ready.

What do you want with it? Some jam?

I want jam.

Oh, that looks good.

Let Mama taste it.

There she is.

That lady is here.

She's gone.

Whoa, a model airplane.

Since the night I lost my love

I have rested my wings here

This is where I belong

The butterflies flutter through Ginza

When the sun is gone

Was I not myself,or was I reckless?

I loved you with all my heart

I'd die for you, I know it's crazy

The butterflies flutter through Ginza

When the sun is gone

Can't take it either, huh?

Ryuji.

I'm not bothering you guys, am I?

Son of a bitch.

Don't you move!

No one moves,
unless you want this guy dead.

Owada.

Every breath you take...

casts a cloud
over the neon lights of Ginza.

I'm taking you down.

Do you think you can live in Ginza
after doing this?

Boss.

Didn't I say not to move?

Boss.

Bastard!

Damn.

Give me that.

Drop dead, morons.

Damn.

Owada.

You bastard.

Once a yakuza, always a yakuza.

We're back to where we were.

It's time for wandering birds to go home.

That's what we both are,
wandering birds.

""We''?

You just made my day.

I've lost everything
I've lost the last hope

But I always hide behind a smile

Holding onto my luck
My tough luck

Where will I find myself tomorrow?

I'm a wandering Ginza butterfly
