Original subtitles

The following is a work of fiction.

Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Are you Oshima?

Who the hell are you?

You used and killed Michiyo Aizawa.

She was my big sister.

She was my big sister. What?

What?

You're a dead man.

Wait! Just a second!

It wasn't my fault.

Your sister committed suicide.

I didn't have anything to do with it!

What are you looking at?

Newbies ain't got no business disturbing our sleep.

You're a thorn in our side from the start.

- You should have figured that out by now! - Dumb bitch!

You spit on the futon!

Your face makes me sick!

It makes me want to puke, having to look at a girl everyday in for attempted murder.

You've got guts - I imagine you needed them when you were trying to commit murder.

Don't make me laugh! Make sure she doesn't get up.

That's mine, what are you doing? Guard!

The newbie took my food.

You're lying. Why did you even say that?

- New girls usually behave better. - Leave me alone.

You stubborn bitch!

Keiko, teach this missy some manners.

Hold her down.

If you're so hungry, I'll feed you myself.

Dammit!

Finish her off.

I'm out of here in three days.

If you want a piece of me when you get out...

you can find me any time.

I'm Miwa the Spade,

head of the Sunflower gang, in South Sakawa.

Boss, congratulations on your release.

Congratulations.

Keep a stiff upper lip.

Goodbye, boss.

Girl Boss: Mano a Mano

Do Not Enter - Ministry of Justice

What's the big idea?!

- Yukie? - Boss!

What are you doing here?

You've been out two weeks. I thought you were working.

I went home, but my dad has a new girlfriend.

So when I see him, he says to me, "You tramp, you're not my daughter...

"Don't show your face around here no more."

What a drag!

You and your dad are like two of a kind. Who's she?

She's my best friend from junior high school. We were always getting in trouble. She's Setsuko.

She was working as a cocktail hostess, but the work sucked, so she quit.

- We watch each other's backs. - Yeah, but your boss looks really tough.

- With her on our side, nothing could stop us! - I'm not connected either.

No problem: "Wisdom comes from the counsel of three," as the saying goes.

Setsuko, it looks like we're going to move.

- Here's one now. Ready, go. - Hey mister!

- Dammit. Here's another. - Finally.

Hello! Stop!

Ouch!

This car is really a piece of crap. I can't believe it runs.

This car is really a piece of crap. I can't believe it runs. Stop your bellyaching - we're in no position to complain.

Stop your bellyaching - we're in no position to complain.

Still, this car really is a turd!

It beats walking, though.

I'm an auto wrecker. It comes with the job.

That makes sense. I guess we'll just have to lump it.

I can't believe it!

You all back from juvey?

- Sounds like the voice of experience. - Yeah, well...

I like you already. What were you in for?

Hey lady, we need more meat for the stew.

Keep the beers coming, too.

Aren't you two drinking a bit too much?

Don't worry, we can take it. Right, Yukie?

I'm talking about money.

Do you have money, Setsuko?

No more booze then!

Then why did you order it in the first place?

Don't worry, boss. It'll work out.

We'll think about it when our bellies are full.

Money makes the world go round!

What's the big idea?

Looks like you got money.

Come with us.

Why should I?

Because the mama-san of the club you work at said she wants to see you, that's why!

- Shut up and come along quietly! - Boss, help me!

Hold on...

I'll go with you.

- Who the hell are you? - I'm her bodyguard.

Be a doll and pay our tab here.

Your patrons' spending totals 1 . 18 million yen.

If you want to quit, you have to square your accounts with the club.

220 yen... It's all I got.

You were the one who let them run a tab!

- You gotta pay that back! - Mama-san...

I'll pick up the tab. Can we call it an even million?

- Shut yer trap, twerp! - Butt out!

Fine, I'll give you a week.

- I'll keep Setsuko as collateral. - Boss!

Don't worry, I'll take these and collect all the debts.

If you can't get the money in a week, Setsuko's ass will belong to Oshima Industries.

Oshima?

This club is affiliated with Oshima?

- You know the CEO? - Is he well?

Does the scar on his belly still bother him?

You're the slut who stabbed him!

It's water under the bridge. Let's leave it at that.

- Get back here, you little viper! - Cut it out.

She stabbed the CEO last year!

Spare me the history lesson.

Let's wait for the million yen.

I've seen that guy around a lot lately - who is he?

Good evening, Mr. Kuroki.

You're a bit early tonight.

I was told to treat Mr. Kuroki extra special.

Who is he, exactly?

The Kanto branch of the gang sent him here, to help me with a job.

Then...

Yes, he's definitely a member of the Kinpachi gang.

- Boss, please save Setsuko. - I will...

- but there's one sucka I gotta take care of first. - Who?

A princess from juvey I owe big time.

- I know: Miwa the Spade, of the Sunflower Gang. - Bingo.

'The Sunflower Gang'? Never heard of them.

What's the big idea?

You don't know? Yukie, take their wallets!

We're not making any headway here. What's next?

Now that we've made our presence known, we can wait for her to come to us.

Speak of the devil...

You want to talk to the Sunflower gang?

I finally get to meet you. How nice.

Stop! What's your beef with the Sunflower Gang?

I want to talk to your boss. Where is she?

The boss?

What do you need?

Nothing from you; I came to talk to the boss of the Sunflower Gang.

I'm the boss of the Sunflower gang.

What happened to Miwa the Spade?

She quit the gang and disappeared.

Disappeared?

She ditched us and moved away.

- Where did she go? - Who knows?

Nothing we can do if she's disappeared. Let's go, Yukie.

We came a long way for nothing.

Not so fast!

I think you owe us for your little rampage.

I see. What would you have me do?

A duel, mano a mano.

An interesting proposition. And if you lose?

They call me Razor Eri, and if you can beat me, you can take over as the boss of the Sunflower gang.

Boss!

As of this moment, I'm the head of the Sunflower gang.

You can stay or quit, it's up to you.

So what's it gonna be?

Give us a night to think about it.

So you don't have any problem with me as boss?

We can't get along by ourselves.

- You can take the helm. - We need a leader.

Where's Eri?

Where's Harumi and the chick with the big knockers?

Eri was too proud to come.

She looks like a flower, but she's really a stalwart.

- Anyhow, we are at your service. - At your service.

I got it. If you hear anything about Miwa the Spade, I want to know ASAP.

Now that that's settled, a new regime is born for the Sunflower Gang.

Our first job is this...

Excuse me, I'm here to see Division Director Watanabe.

- That's me. Who are you? - Debt collectors.

You owe a total of 138,500 yen. Toss in our cut and it's...

an even 150 grand. Pay up, bub.

- Your hostess Setsuko has a noose around her neck. - Setsuko?

You're still playing dumb. She was your favorite little hostess.

- You have to pay the piper. - This is absurd!

You won't pay? Gee, Yukie, what should we do?

We'll just have to consult with the CEO.

Osaka South Tax Office

What is this, some kind of a joke?

Why are you trying to collect Y200,000?

This is insane. First off...

these matters are best handled by professionals...

it's just common sense.

I see. Well, if that's how it's going to be...

Attention, employees of the Osaka South Tax Office,

we are here in proxy to collect an unpaid bill for the services of a hostess.

Oh, really?

Section Chief Mimura, in an effort to dodge this debt, has made...

the absurd request that we go through a collection agency.

I'll pay, I said I'll pay already!

Everybody, I intend to pay this debt immediately.

Everybody, I intend to pay this debt immediately. You idiot, we're up to our ears in debt, and you're out...

You idiot, we're up to our ears in debt, and you're out...

gallivanting with hostesses! This is our store!

I'm sorry!

We're not making any headway here. Let's just grab some clothes and go.

What do you think you're doing? Put that merchandise back!

Cool! This is sweet!

I'll settle for this.

OK, let's motor.

Boss, wait up!

Mr. Oshima, we aren't telling you that you...

can't do factory construction projects anymore.

We're just worried about smoke and other pollution.

300,000 yen.

We'll buy the land off of you for 300,000 yen per square meter.

In return, we need you to talk local land owners...

into agreeing to 150,000 yen.

I see. Well, I didn't expect a specific offer so suddenly.

That's all right. Think it over.

By the way, if you see a girl you like, take her home for the evening.

Are you serious?

No way, he's not my type.

What did you say?

- No means no. - Sit down!

Mr. Endo, conquering reluctant girls can be fun too.

You got a point.

Boss!

Long time, no see, Mr. Oshima.

You slut... You bitch.

You're always involved in something shitty.

I made an arrangement with the mama san.

- Setsuko's coming with me. - Wait!

You can take the slut if you want her,

but if you think we're finished...

you're dead wrong.

- Son of a bitch! - Whore! - Wait!

Leave her to me.

I've got a score to settle.

Now you're a hostess for the yakuza.

You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel, Eri the Razor.

Shut up! I don't know who she is to you, but this is none of your business.

What's with the dirty looks?

I can see the fire in your eyes.

Ando, strip her naked. She's going to put on a special performance for us.

You got a dynamite body...

You slut!

Who the hell do you think you are, bitch?

If you're going to hate someone, hate yourself.

You should have killed me when you had the chance.

- This has gone far enough. - Butt out, asshole!

Kuroki, this is my place, and you'd do well to remember that.

What the hell?

This is no place for a girl like you. Go home.

Eri...

I won't run and I won't hide.

I'll fight you any time you like.

Dammit, I can't believe that bitch Keiko.

You've had enough.

- You're slamming them back too. - That's different.

You're better at fighting than you are at holding your liquor.

Oh, shut up!

I don't want to carry you home again.

I never asked you to do that.

I'm not joking... I'm Eri the Razor.

I've taken care of myself since my brother left home...

when I was eight years old.

You tell the same story every time you're drunk.

One of these days... I'm going to find him.

Then I'll show you.

I bet...

I bet... my older brother has made something of himself.

Even that idiot running the orphanage said that he should go to university.

He was smart...

- Harumi? - What?

I turned out no good...

and... someday...

when I find my brother...

I know he'll be disappointed when he sees me.

Don't worry: I'll explain everything to him.

I'll be counting on you.

You're drunk enough already.

# My big sister lost her cherry at age 15, #

# she stopped menstruating for three months... #

I gotta pee!

Good night.

Brother, I wonder what happened to that rabbit...

we raised at the orphanage.

Are you drunk?

I don't like to be indebted to anyone.

I have no idea what your relationship is with Oshima, but nobody ever regretted screwing me.

Finish your drink and go.

I can't do that, now that I'm undressed.

I brought her for you.

Thank you. It's been a pleasure.

I see you've got quite an appetite...

and I admire your taste in girls.

So, you like her better?

Suit yourself.

Still, you can't sink much lower than humping passed-out girls.

Wait...

Do you know where she lives?

So what if I do?

Take her home.

Wow, they're really gonna do it!

That was great.

Nothing beats porn - you can completely forget everything, even if it's only for a moment.

Time to head back home.

Hey, what are you doing? Cut it out! Let me go!

- ¥10,000 to touch. - ¥10,000 for the special massage.

- You did it voluntarily. - ¥20,000 total. Pay up, bub.

I don't have that kind of money.

What are you doing? If you take that, I can't even eat.

Who are you sewer rats?

You're sniffing around where you don't belong.

It's a free country.

What did you say?

You're wearing panties...

That reminds me, I meant to buy clams on the way home.

Hold it!

Stop, in the name of the law! Stop, I say!

Sunflower Gang Guerillas

- This sucks. - Damn straight...

Every time we get a racket going, the fuzz come and bust it up.

Ain't they got anything better to do?

Student activists are quiet, so the police have time on their hands.

The students need to have a little bit more nerve.

Hey, Setsuko...

Life was good in juvey. You didn't have to work to live.

The air was clean. You had a roof over your head every night.

True enough.

We gotta do really ghastly crimes, so we can go back.

Stop talking trash, it wouldn't work.

Hey everyone, do you want to visit the countryside?

All right!

Heads up!

Attention housewives, we know you can barely make ends meet...

thanks to the government's failed economic policies, and we are here to help.

We are having a sale today on tripe.

It's cheaper than the supermarket.

It's not just cheaper, it's higher quality too.

Feed this to your husband: his dick will be hard all night!

You couldn't sell a dollar for fifty cents. Get out of here!

Boss, its Miwa the Spade!

Wait! There's no rush...

I want to get a bead on her... then I'll take my revenge.

Iwasa inc.

Come on, don't be difficult...

- You're not taking our proposition seriously. - I'm the one who decides whether to sell.

There's no denying that, but this place is...

smack in the middle of where we plan to build our factory.

Kenichi, our hands are tied until you give us a yes.

- The market price for this place is ¥80,000, but we're offering you ¥150,000. - Forget it.

I don't need money.

I like this place.

Get out.

OK, we get the picture, but we can't be held accountable...

if something untoward should befall your establishment.

Miwa?

Who are you?

I just need a moment of your time.

Keiko!

You remember me... what an honor.

Long time, no see, boss.

I'm the boss of the Sunflower Gang now.

I just wanted to thank you for your kindness at the reform school.

You want to go mano-a-mano?

Keiko...

I'm sorry, I can't go mano-a-mano with you.

I'm out of the gangs.

You'll need a better excuse than that.

Get her on her feet.

Stand up!

Wait! It's just like Miwa said.

She promised me she'd never fight again.

I know you: you're the guy with the piece-of-shit car.

I get it, this is your salvage yard.

So what's Miwa to you?

I'm her husband.

You're married?

Is that true, Miwa?

I don't care if you are married... we still have a score to settle.

- You whore! - Leave her alone!

You want a piece of Miwa, you gotta get through me.

- Stop, Kenichi! - Don't be stupid!

- You think I'll just stand there and watch you get beat up? - Kenichi!

Outta my way.

If you want to hurt me...

so be it. Just don't hurt Kenichi.

Do you really love him that much?

Keiko...

In exchange, you'll give us a place to crash for a while.

Kenichi, coffee.

You're breaking a sweat.

Can this misshapen car really run?

Don't talk trash. It may be ugly...

but it's faster than most wheels on the road.

Once it's done, you can be the first to ride in it.

I'm gonna drive it around town.

There ain't no other car in town that can take this baby.

Kenichi...

Your dream is the racing circuit, not showing your car off around town, isn't it?

That was a long time ago. Don't bring it up again.

I'm an auto wrecker...

You have a problem with that?

Don't be foolish.

Miwa the Spade gives her heart to a man.

I don't even remember why we came here.

What is this?

I'm a hostess, not a beggar. I don't take money for nothing.

You should get out of this business.

What a lark! Who are you...

to tell me what to do?

There's nothing here for you.

How about it?

You start over in Tokyo and find a real job.

I spring for the costs.

You want to get into my pants?

If that's what you want, come out and say it.

Buying me off the mama-san on the fly is kind of spineless.

Cut the charade!

Are you here to pay me back?

I just want you to let me stay the night.

Eri

How do you know Eri?

Was she your girl?

You must love her; the tattoo tells me as much.

I haven't seen her in ten years...

she can't be happy to see me.

In the orphanage...

We could barely eat.

Eri cried all the time.

I left the orphanage...

to make some money and save Eri.

For money...

I would have done anything.

Pain, tears...

I didn't care.

When I finally made some money,

I had to adopt a whole new identity.

Why did you sleep with me?

I need your help.

It's Keiko...

I won't rest until my thirst for vengeance is slaked.

Oh, that skirt.

What's the beef with her?

None of your business.

What's the problem? You're like screwing a corpse.

I imagine you didn't do any better for Kuroki.

Kuroki?

Don't you know?

If you can't hold your liquor, men will take advantage.

What are you talking about?

The other day when you were drunk and passed out,

he screwed you, after getting his fill with Keiko.

With Keiko?

Yeah, I heard he got a piece of her too.

When two men sleep with the same girl, they are called 'brothers'.

So what does that make you and Keiko?

It's unlocked.

There's too many cars, given the gas crisis.

The world will be a better place for it. Let's go.

Your friends are hung up.

What?

Eri!

Keiko, you've come to save your friends,

but you're going to have to get through me to do it.

You're playing dirty, Eri - getting help from the yakuza.

- I told you I'd go mano-a-mano anytime you say. - Dirty?

Who's the dirty one?

Who slept with Oshima and Kuroki?

Who took me to Kuroki when I was passed out,

so he could rape me?

- Eri, you got it all wrong. - Then set me straight.

I'll put an end to this right now!

That's enough.

- But, boss! - She's had enough.

It's been two months...

Didn't you say you'd have the situation in hand in a month?

I apologize, but the recent boom in real estate prices...

- has sparked a buying frenzy... - Shut up!

I didn't call you here to hear excuses.

When will you have all the contracts?

In the next day or two.

The only holdout is a scrap dealer, so it shouldn't be long.

Are you playing me straight?

There is no doubt in my mind.

There is no doubt in my mind. Stop! Don't!

Stop! Don't!

I'll stop any time you like.

All you have to do is sign this.

Kenichi, don't sign it!

Give her some more.

Bring her over here.

Miwa!

I don't care what happens to me,

just don't sign that deed!

You fool.

Inked in blood.

We're paying 1 ,000 yen per square meter.

Give him a decent funeral.

I told them 100,000 per square meter,

and they still wouldn't budge.

Good work.

I'll transfer the money into your account.

You're the one who's been pulling Oshima's strings the whole time.

You can't have it. Don't try it!

You killed Kenichi and took his thumbprint from the corpse.

- You don't have a contract. - Killed him?

Don't play dumb. Where the hell did you get 1 ,000 yen per square meter?

I don't want your money!

Slut, that's a pack of lies!

Are you telling the truth?

You think I'd come all the way here to sell you a bogus story?

I told you to buy the land...

Who told you it was OK to murder to do it?

We were trying to talk some sense into that young fella,

- and he suddenly went apeshit, and... - "Talk some sense into him"?

Your persuasion techniques seem to be lethal!

And you only offered 1 ,000 yen per square meter?

I'll take care of this.

Let her go!

Go straight home.

Oshima!

It was the Kanto branch that enlisted your help.

I didn't want to use the gang's name...

so I enlisted your help.

Who said it was OK...

for you to commit murder?

You've disgraced our organization.

I can explain...

Oshima... you're all washed up.

I don't ever want... to see your face again.

You want Keiko dead, don't you?

Take care of Kuroki while you're at it. They're in cahoots.

He raped you while you were asleep.

They were laughing about it afterward.

That doesn't bother you?

It might not be appropriate at a time like this...

but I want that land.

I'll pay you handsomely.

Think about it.

Stop - I don't want to hear it.

If it weren't for you, Kenichi would still be...

Go home.

Kuroki, this is for raping me when I was passed out.

- Eri, you got it all wrong. - Get out of the way!

You think I won't kill you, too?

Get away.

You're dead!

Stop!

He's your big brother.

That's absurd. Where'd you get that cockamamie story?

It's true.

It can't be true...

my brother's a yakuza.

It's a lie!

That rabbit we had in the orphanage...

must be dead by now.

Brother!

I have to go meet with the Dragon God Gang now.

I want everyone here, in case there are any problems.

Keiko!

Come out with your hands up!

Oshima, come out!

Keiko, over here!

Right on! Groovy!

If you're going to hate someone... hate yourself.

You should have killed me when you had the chance.

It's Harumi!

Driver, stop the truck!

Where to?

No place special. Where are you headed to?

No place special. Wherever the driver takes us. Hop in.

All right! Let me on!

Sunflower Gang Guerillas, onward ho!
