How was it?

Well done. Hey, excuse me.

Soon, you'll be a top-notch fashion model.

I owe you for all of this.

You really helped me.

If I hadn’t met you, I'd still be a coffee shop waitress.

Well, I’ll consider it.

Ah, Mr. Yamazaki. Thank you, as always.

The negligee fashion show is done.

Midori's payment. A receipt, please.

Thanks for your trouble coming here.

If you call me, I’ll come to you for the payment.

I'm going to the makeup room.

Mr. Yamazaki...

You always hire only Midori for the Daito Textile jobs.

Please hire some other models, too.

For example, this is Kyôko.

How about it? Isn’t she good?

Please, Mr. Yamazaki...

10,000 yen extra pay, then, to become 50,000 in total.

I negotiated with my boss for it.

Today's work is done.

Let's go for a drive.

It's so good here at the port.

What about a trip abroad together someday?

Have you seen this photogravure?

The one taken by the weekly magazine, at the swimwear show.

This style is cool.

This cool look has caused some trouble.

Why, what's wrong?

An American named Henderson saw this, and fell in love with you.

He's the executive buyer of the New York Department Store.

Why is this trouble?

He now says he wants to sleep with you.

Disgusting man!

He says he'll buy our products for $ 600,000, if he can sleep with you.

That's about two hundred million yen.

I want to make this successful, by all means.

Because it will give me a lot of credit.

So, you want me to sleep with that American?

That's right.

But, we're lovers.

We’re going to marry in the future, right?

You might think I’m terrible, but...

I'm asking for the sake of Japan, for our company, and,

also, for our own small happiness.

For our own happiness?

Nothing will change, after you sleep with that American.

We'll remain lovers, and we'll get married.

You also want me to get promoted, don’t you?

Are you... serious about this?

I'm serious.

It’s dirty to do business by offering one’s lover.

But this is a great opportunity.

I don't want to let it go.

Just this one time.

Only one night.

Won’t you make up your mind to do it?

I'm also suffering over this.

I've thought and thought about it.

I'm determined.

Please do it.

No! This is a joke!

I love you.

I love you, and I'm asking you for this.

Let me think about it...

for a while.

I slept with... Henderson.

Thank you, and sorry.

I don't want to be apart from you.

I did this, because I want to get married, by any means.

Forget about tonight.

Nothing happened.

Really, nothing has changed?

Everything is just like before?

Of course.

Then, hold me, like you always do.

I want to make sure... want to feel relief.

Midori...

No strange smell remains on my body?

Still good.

You smell nice, as usual.

Nothing dirty?

Very clean, just like when you were born.

It's very late.

I’m going home. - Won’t you stay tonight?

My dad is waiting for me.

Here is fine. Goodnight.

I'll accompany you.

2-6, 2-4? This is unlikely.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Hey, it's Mr. Yamazaki!

Please come in for a drink.

I must retire.

Don’t be so distant.

You’re going to be my son-in-law.

Please, come in, keep me company.

Well, just a glass, then.

This sake is cheap.

It may not suit your taste.

But bear it and drink, drink!

Bottoms up.

Your company is doing well, isn’t it?

Daito Textile is a first-class company.

Your salary must be super big. Toast!

Thank you.

Well, excuse me.

What? Leaving already?

Hang on. Just one more drink, eh?

Dad. You’re too persistent.

Midori, you’re not sensible.

Can’t make a good wife like that.

Behave yourself, before I get angry.

It's silly to keep a drunk company. Better go home.

A drunk?

How can you say this to your father?

Shut up.

Hurry home.

Well, good night.

Just as I thought.

My daughter is strong like this.

But please take care of her, okay?

It's okay, please rest assured.

Alright. Please take care on the way home.

See you. - Yes.

Hey, he's a little cold, but a nice young man.

You found a good one.

I didn’t expect you could do so well.

Cut it out!

Don’t confuse me with women working in bars.

If he becomes my son in law, my life will be so easy.

No work, and only play until I die.

Drink good sake every night.

What are you on about? - Huh?

I'm the one who would marry him.

You have nothing to do with it, dad.

I know, I know.

Go to bed early.

You're tired, huh?

Good night.

Good night, baby.

My cute baby.

What are you doing?

Don't you have a lot of 10,000 yen bills.

You grew up and made a lot of money.

Give it back. I'm saving it.

Saving money is silly.

It only helps banks to make profit.

Don't joke around.

I'm saving the money for my marriage.

Give it back.

You can let Mr. Yamazaki pay for it.

I’ll keep this for you.

Don't play around.

I won’t tolerate you spending it on wine and women.

Give it back!

Bastard! You scratched me!

Is this how you treat your own parent?!

If you're a parent, why don’t you behave like one?

Always taking money from your daughter, just to play around.

Hey, Midori...

Who helped you to grow up, to become an adult woman?

Who, huh?

I brought you up, alone, since you were nine.

What hardships I endured... I...

You caused those troubles.

You were a salaryman with lousy pay.

You spent all your pay on a bar girl.

That company was so cold to me.

After serving them for many years, they accused me of embezzlement.

Small and medium companies are not okay with it.

After being fired, you spent a year in jail.

No wonder my mom left you.

Oh, a wife is also a wife.

While I was suffering in prison...

She left her own daughter with others, and ran off with a younger man.

It’s so wretched. I can’t stop my tears.

Blame yourself, not others.

You get worse as you get older.

On top of that, now it’s my own daughter!

So, money is more important than your own parents!

Be quiet!

It's too noisy for the neighbors!

Fuck!

I should take it all, but...

I’m merciful, so I'll take only 20,000.

Oh, Henderson agreed to it.

He's going to sign this tomorrow.

You did well.

This will really increase sales.

As executive director of sales, I'm very satisfied.

The CEO will be happy, too.

It’s his achievement.

He negotiated with patience, and convinced him.

That’s mysterious.

We all tried hard, but failed.

Tell me, why were you successful?

He speaks English well.

He's young, and tough.

Hey, what means did you use?

There's more business in the future. I want to hear your story.

In fact, I offered a woman to sleep with him.

Which female?

One with whom Henderson fell in love at first sight.

She must be pretty glamorous to attract an American.

Not a typical Japanese look, or mood...

or sex.

Is that so? I want to sleep with her too.

You can introduce her to me.

This one is a bit...

Okay. It will be a secret weapon for our company.

Let's treat her with care.

Good morning.

Midori, don’t play around too much.

Look in the mirror.

A model’s career is finished if her body shape is lost.

You have to be careful.

I will be careful.

Hey, you alone are monopolizing the work for Daito Textile.

You're sleeping with Mr. Yamazaki.

Getting work by using sex is very dirty.

Stop getting money by selling your body.

Isn't everyone doing this?

What!?

I’m with Mr. Yamazaki neither for a job nor for money.

Then, what is it for?

For getting married.

There's not much work for models.

The salary is low, and it only lasts a year or two.

It’s not a long term job.

It’s really exciting this week.

Oof! Okay, I bought what you requested!

Yes, Ms. Tomi, your paper. - Thank you.

Ms. Akemi, your cigarettes and rice crackers.

Ms. Sayuri, chocolate.

Ms. Rika, knickers and tampons. - You don't have to yell!

For Ms. Yumi, whiskey.

Thanks.

Here's your pocket money.

Thanks, as always.

Uncle, why did you become a dressing-room keeper?

Because I can see beautiful nude skin for free, all the time.

It's a job with good rewards for me.

You remind me of my dad, back in the countryside.

He's stuck in bed after the stroke.

Ms. Yumi, you send him money every month, right?

I would also like to have such a devoted daughter, like you.

You also have one, named Midori.

Nah, she's hopeless.

She's a cold woman, with no respect for a parent.

She'd never give me a penny.

I can’t stop my tears. It’s terrible.

That’s silly! It's your daughter who can’t stop crying.

You're a playboy — the kind that sleeps around.

You have quick hands, eh?

I hear bad rumors about you. Different things.

That’s unlikely.

But never mind.

You're all like my daughters.

I’ll take care of you with all my strength.

So please do good to me.

We're on. Hurry!

Everyone is full of spirit, with fleshy busts and hips.

Women are untidy.

Everything is spread everywhere.

Hmm?

I didn't know Midori is in a magazine.

But, she's got a good body.

I'd pick her up, if she weren't my own daughter.

Good job today!

Thank you! Good job today!

Good job today!

Tomorrow, everyone please look cheerful!

Here we go!

From now on, it's my world!

Welcome!

Ah! Welcome! Please come to the box seat!

No need, I'm fine here.

Why...?

The girls can't sit with you here at the counter.

Doesn't matter.

I'm only here to see Madame.

I’m glad! So that's why you come here these days?

Yes, that's the reason.

What would you like?

Hmm?

Brandy! How about madame?

Well... Slow Gin.

Madame is glamorous!

I'm crazy about you.

Keep me company some night?

You’re good at flattering.

What are you doing for living?

Hm? Try and guess.

You dress flamboyantly, so...

maybe an artist?

or a novelist...

or a painter — is that it?

Not an artist.

But with performing arts.

Movies?

TV?

Or... the stage?

Well, it doesn't matter.

Actually, my daughter is also...

a fashion model.

Wow, nice.

Is she really your daughter?

Of course.

She looks like me.

Isn't that great?

She's silly. I can't persuade her to stop.

It seems she just naturally loves this kind of work.

She inherited that quality from me.

Just a moment. Bathroom.

Ah, it's right over there.

Hey, let me have a look.

Hmm... looks cool.

So so.

Well, of course you look better.

She could make money for us.

Let’s use that method tonight.

What... with that old dotard?!

It’s business. Please.

Please use this towel.

Well, let’s drink and have a closer look at your face.

I wouldn’t mind getting drunk tonight.

May I drink?

Please, please. You are welcome.

Toast!

But, you know...

I’m attracted to performing artists.

I might ask you to take me to a hotel.

That's even better.

I'm also a man.

I’ll embrace your request.

I'm not kidding.

I really mean it.

If you run away from the scene.

I won’t forgive you.

My breast is a tender spot.

Sir! Are you alright?

Me, I'm okay.

Yeah? Stand up straight.

Good evening!

This is the room.

Sir, I love you.

Sir, quick! Hold me, quickly!

Hey, hey. Just a second.

Hey... take it off.

Hey... take off the fastener.

You don’t have to hurry like that.

Good mood is important.

It's because I'm young,

that I can't wait.

Well, let's take a bath first, huh?

I’ll wash all over your body.

A bath should come later. We’ll sweat, anyway!

Hey! Come on!

Don't tease me.

I'm going crazy! Are you really a man?

You have no courage!

Well, that’s… - Wow, I like you!

I’ve never had such a nice body.

Heavenly!

Ahh, I can die now.

So cute.

You’re a cute man.

Pain! Darling!

Get up!

What are you guys doing?

You bitch! Deceiving your husband!

Husband?!

Darling, forgive me. I was drunk, and...

Shut up!

You've got some nerve, huh?

Playing around with the wife of a yakuza.

Yakuza!

I could beat you to death...

but I'll let you live.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Why don’t you move?!

Still want to play around with my wife?

No... no way!

Pay for the room and go home! - Yes.

Whew, what bad luck.

What a pity!

Just a little bit more and I could have had it.

But, well... he was a yakuza.

I’m not hurt, not blackmailed...

and I could run away, so I’m lucky, at least.

Uncle, excuse me.

What a small, dingy place you've got here.

Um, what's the matter?

You must know without asking.

You're gonna take responsibility for stealing my wife, and sleeping with her.

Isn't that all settled?

Stupid!

Please! No violence!

That's right.

I should feel sorry, because you’re an old dotard.

How can I make up for it?

Money.

Pay me 500,000 yen.

500,000?

Brother, is such a small sum enough?

This is non-yakuza.

I'll settle for this small amount.

Uncle, it's good, eh?

To settle for such a small sum.

I'm not kidding...

Half a million... I can't afford it!

Aren't you an entertainer?

I don’t know movies, TV, or theater...

But you've made money from it for many years.

You can ask those people, and get the money quickly.

Ah, no.

I work in a strip club.

I'm just a dressing room keeper.

Do you mean, you lied and cheated my wife?

I didn’t intend to.

Old enough to know better than to trick a woman? Outrageous!

500,000 is not enough. I'm raising it to a million.

Hey, it's one million! Do you understand?!

I'm home.

Dad, what happened?

Hey, is it your daughter?

Who are these people?

Kenji, tell her.

We are from the Kasai-gumi.

Why come to our house?

Your old man picked up my brother’s wife.

Took her to a hotel and dallied with her.

Is it true, dad?

It was... not like that!

How was it not like that?!

Sorry.

Dad, you idiot!

You deserve real punishment.

What... what the hell?

I might be killed, if I can’t pay up.

You can die and go to hell.

What sort of person are you...?

Sounds fun. Shall we do it?

Sure, as you like.

But this is an apartment.

I’ll scream if you behave violently.

Somebody will call the police, and a patrol car will come.

Do it, if you don’t care.

Ha! What a courageous girl.

You’re the one working as a fashion model?

Dad! Did you say such a thing?

Don’t be silly, I meant...

You're also a model for weekly magazines.

You can afford one million.

Have a good talk with your dad.

Yes, that's right. Midori, please...?

Don't joke around.

I have no money for you, Dad, not even a penny.

OK, that's all for today.

You two had better talk it over, before I come back tomorrow.

Kenji!

That daughter is quite a beauty.

You can’t find that quality so often.

Yeah.

My aim is not that million from her father...

but that girl herself.

What do you mean?

Make that girl our woman, and let her take customers.

With that body and face, she'll earn us a lot.

Stupid girl!

Your father was being threatened by yakuza.

You didn't protect me! You encouraged them!

Stop complaining, and go to bed.

Idiot!

I can’t rest when my life is at stake.

Well, you can stay up all night, then.

Can’t you manage to get a million?

Even if you keep asking, no.

Work and earn it by yourself.

Hey!

I’m a dressing room keeper, whose salary is only 20,000 yen.

One million! Of course, I can’t pay that!

But you had money to drink, and go to a hotel, didn't you?

You can manage.

Fuck... you're willing to forsake your own father?

Why are you ranting?

You don’t have to give in to yakuza.

You should go to the police!

They'll be arrested for extortion.

Stupid!

The yakuza have many friends.

Arresting one or two of them won't change things.

But it will set them on fire.

Those yakuza are just making empty threats.

It’s a complete lie.

Anyway, I don’t want to.

I'll never go to the police.

Why, what's wrong?

I hate police and detectives.

When I embezzled the company's money, they bullied me so much.

They wouldn't accept my accusations.

You don’t know what they'll say.

Then, there’s no way.

Do whatever you like.

Midori!

Are you really casting me off?

I can't sleep! You're too loud!

If you're going to make noise, go outside!

Go away!

You think your parent is just a bother?

Yes, a complete bother.

Well, if I'm just a bother, I’ll happily be killed by the yakuza.

You must be happy.

I’d be relieved if you die.

Go and let them kill you!

Fuck! Bollocks!

Huh!

Yakuza are nothing — let them bring it on!

Let them slash or stab me, whatever they like.

Ah, I have a good method.

"Daito Textile Industry Co. Ltd."

This has been the only failure, but the biggest one in my life.

I’m very ashamed, but...

I have to prepare one million yen today.

And then?

Could you lend me a million yen?

Even if I ask my daughter, you know, she's stubborn.

She refuses, saying that her savings is for her marriage with you.

Marriage is more important than her father's life.

She's clearly a daughter of the times.

So, you came to me.

You're hardly a stranger.

In the near future, you’ll be my son-in-law.

Wouldn't you consider saving your father-in-law's life?

I’m just an ordinary salaryman.

One million yen is really...

I always hear from Midori...

that you're young, but you're making big deals.

Doing fashion shows, moving millions, or even tens of millions.

Aren't you?

I hope you could lend me just a part of it.

You mean cook up something with the company's money?

No, no, I don’t mean that. - I can’t do such a thing.

That would be embezzlement. - Embezzlement?

Well, then, what about borrowing money from the company?

If you ask them, they wouldn't refuse.

Borrow it, but who returns it?

Of course, Midori will return it.

She's indifferent to me, but she'll do anything for you, her love.

She has a lot of savings, and can earn a salary.

Soon, it'll be a million yen altogether.

Mr Yamazaki, please...

have pity on this old man.

I understand. I'll do what I can.

Do you accept it?

I knew you'd be understanding, Mr. Yamazaki.

You're reasonable — really a great person.

Please wait a moment. - Yes.

What’s the number for that production company?

Who are you?

I'm Kenji, with the Kasai-gumi.

What's your business here?

Midori's here. I want to see her.

Midori, come here.

What is it?

I have something to discuss.

What?

Where's your dad now?

He must be at home.

He’s not there.

Where has he run off to?

Where have you hidden him?

Why should he need to run off and hide from yakuza?

That’s silly. Stop joking!

Well then...

I can see your dad if I wait there?

Look for him if you want.

Got it.

Just a second.

Did you really go to my house?

Yeah.

I can’t go back to my office, without that million yen.

That money — nobody will pay it.

Then I'm supposed to kill your old man.

Hey, you really want to kill my dad?

Yeah.

If you lay a finger on him...

I'll call the police.

As you wish. I'm not leaving without the money.

What are you ranting about? You'll annoy the neighbors.

Dad, have you been here?

When did you come home?

Well, come in, young man.

Yeah, feeling good.

Dad! Drinking in the middle of the day?

This is an advanced celebration.

How about a glass? Join me.

Silly! You have no idea what I've been through.

Uncle, you've got that million, right?

You promised it for today.

No hurry, young man.

How about this? Take a look.

Well, these are not counterfeit.

This is the real deal.

Laugh about that.

Okay, young man. Here's the million.

Please count it, and take it all.

That's right.

How did you get this money?

Where did you get this?

Don't worry.

I can make a million or two easily, if I really need it.

Don’t underestimate me.

It's a million yen.

I checked.

Of course. You can leave now.

I said, you can leave.

What about writing a receipt?

A receipt?

Write it, clearly: "I received one million yen...

and I won't blackmail you any more."

That’s not necessary, trust me.

How can I trust yakuza? Write it, quickly.

Even yakuza know how to write.

Not necessary.

Yes, it is. I don’t want to be pestered anymore.

I won't trouble you.

I know what it's like. I had this kind of old man too.

Your father?

My dad was a drunkard too, just like this.

He was scum.

He made my mom and sister cry.

I had to crack his head with a baseball bat.

Oh yeah, that's right. Cut out this stupid talk.

It makes the sake taste bad.

Did you kill your dad?

He'd be better off dead, but survived after the hospital.

I was sent to juvie.

I went off the rails and became yakuza.

I see.

Rest assured.

You can trust me to handle this.

Alright.

Bye.

That’s a spoiled kid.

Hitting his own parent with a bat — that's not human!

I might do it too, if you don't behave.

You all don’t understand filial piety.

It’s the end of the world.

Okay, explain. Where did you get that million yen?

I used my head and mouth.

I borrowed it from Mr. Yamazaki.

Stupid.

What? - Stupid!

What do you mean, "stupid"?

Why did you do this terrible thing?

I could trouble anybody, except Hiroshi.

What trouble?

He's my future son-in-law.

He'd be grateful to help us when we really need it.

It's common sense.

If I had known it was money from Hiroshi,

I wouldn’t have handed it to the yakuza.

I'm so upset.

You want them to beat me to death?

Yeah.

Mr. Yamazaki is warmer than you.

He understands filial piety.

Shame on you.

I've had enough of this.

I'm moving out.

Moving out?

That’s right. I'm leaving this place.

Goodbye!

Midori!

Midori!

Do anything, but don't leave.

You’re my only reason for living.

I cook mornings and nights,

do cleaning and washing,

all because you’re important to me.

So annoying.

There's no connection.

Don't touch me!

Okay.

All right!

Without you, I've no reason to live.

I might as well string up a noose, and hang myself.

Sounds fun.

I'd like to see that. Go right ahead.

Fuck... I'm begging you!

Stay with me.

Don't leave.

Midori... please... okay?

I'm begging you.

Dad, you won't bother Hiroshi anymore?

No, I won't.

Don't worry, there's no reason to bother him.

Okay, then I'll stay.

Really? Do you really mean it?

You’re too persistent.

Thank you! Thank you!

I appreciate it.

Sister. - Eh?

Where’s brother? - Inside.

Not many customers this month.

We'll be in the red.

Hide. You take too long.

Beer tastes good after doing it.

Hey, pour it.

Kenji, Sabu here brought a woman.

Everyone got some. How about you?

Bro, that woman is good.

You can try her sometime.

Come on, pour more. - Sorry.

How about that woman? She might earn a lot.

Make her a call girl, and bring customers here.

Our brother is good at business.

Stupid.

That’s my idea.

From now now, we'll have to plan more.

Brother, I got this from her old man.

One million yen.

I didn’t expect the old lech would pay up.

Could he make a small fortune?

That's pretty great, Brother,

squeezing out a million so easily.

Brother’s good at threats.

Kenji, this is for you.

Thanks.

So, Brother, this job is done, right?

It shouldn't be.

It’d be a pity to forget that girl, Midori.

I need to find another opportunity. - That's right.

Just like that one, we should make her earn money for us.

That would be a problem.

I told them clearly, the business was done.

Both with the old man, and his daughter.

You mean you can’t save face as a man.

Don’t puff up, you’re still a kid.

You want to play the good man, for his daughter?

No way.

Brother, I've done a lot for you.

I beg you. One time. Please.

Be quiet. I got it.

I’ll lay off, as you wish.

On the 4th? Ah, the 4th, Friday.

It'll be Chiyoko. Yes, let's talk again soon.

Greetings. - Is Ms. Midori here?

I want a meeting about next week's show.

Mr. Yamazaki.

She went out with a yakuza. - A yakuza?

A young man named Kenji, with the Kasai-gumi.

The yakuza threatened her, asking: "where did you hide your father?"

If yakuza are coming around here, our reputation will be ruined.

Ms. Midori should be more careful.

Welcome back.

It's late.

This is a problem. You sneaking into the bed when I'm out.

Sorry.

I came here to apologize. About your father?

I’m disgusted.

I'm ashamed to have such a father.

But rest assured, I won’t let him do that anymore.

I’ll pay the money back, so please forgive me.

It's not a question of money. It's the yakuza.

What do you mean?

Once the yakuza have got you, they won't let go.

That's not a problem.

I told him clearly, not to approach us anymore.

He agreed, too.

You can't count on a yakuza's promise.

But I’m sure of it. There's no doubt.

They only want money.

If your dad doesn’t have it, they'll come to you,

and if you don't have it, they'll come to me.

Today, that man named Kenji, came to the model club.

Tomorrow, he'll come to my office.

Well, I’ll call the cops if he shows up.

No good. Their revenge will be to cause trouble.

They’ll come everyday, and I'll get sacked.

The company hates any employee connected with yakuza.

Then, what shall I do?

Abandon your dad.

My father?

Yes. He's a drunken womanizer.

Staying with him will ruin not only your life, but also mine.

Cast him off.

Who cares if he dies alone?

I want to. But, I can't.

Stupid parents! I'm stuck looking after him.

You’re old fashioned too.

Even if I could kill somebody, I can’t throw away my parent.

We're connected by blood.

So, let's break up then.

Break up? Why?

By breaking up, we’ll become strangers.

The yakuza would have nothing to do with me.

I don't like this kind of weird joke.

It’s not a joke. I’m serious.

No way. You're lying.

Don’t laugh it off. I really mean this.

What's wrong? Are you scared of yakuza?

They are crazy.

I've no idea what they will do.

But I don't want to break up.

It’s ridiculous to break up because of the yakuza.

I'd die first!

So you want me to be fired?

Am I their prey?

These are different issues.

Anyway, let’s break up.

You don't have to repay the money for your dad.

It'll cover you sleeping with Henderson.

What!?

A million yen for one night — it wasn't so cheap.

I don’t need it — I'm not a prostitute!

Then it's compensation.

I’ll never see you again.

Return the key to this room.

Come on, go home.

I get it now, how you are.

What's that?

You never loved me, even from the beginning.

You made me into a fashion model just to use me!

You're using my dad and the yakuza as an excuse to break it off.

Right?

Isn't that right?

I love you.

I love you, but I'm breaking it off!

You're a terrible man.

It makes me so angry to think that I've loved such a man.

So mad, I want to kill you.

If your dad hadn't been such an idiot, we'd be all right.

It's your father who's in the wrong.

But you still want to kill me?

I'll kill you!

Die!

Die!

You're fuckin' dead!

Try to kill me!

I can't kill you! I love you.

The ones that bloom red are poppy flowers.

The ones that bloom white...

What the...?

How do lilies bloom...?

I'm back.

Why this dour face?

What’s wrong?

What the hell?

Did you go crazy!?

Hitting your own father!

It's your fault.

Thanks to you, Hiroshi might break up with me.

Eh? How come?

Why break up because of me?

Explain this to me, clearly.

He told me to either leave you, or he'd break up with me.

What?

That bastard. So, I'm in his way?

Yes.

Fuck! Okay then.

That idiot. I'll punch his lights out.

Stop interfering!

I've had enough!

Hey!

Are you going to give in to this?!

Shut up, you drunk!

Go to sleep! - Midori!

You want... five million yen?

That's right.

You messed up my one and only daughter, and threw her away.

Of course you have to pay up for this.

I handed you a million yen.

Wasn’t that enough?

"Wasn’t that enough?"

Of course, Midori isn't a typical girl.

She's a trendy fashion model.

I won't accept such a small sum.

It was I who brought her up as a model.

That’s irrelevant.

I want you to pay five million. - No way.

I won’t pay a penny.

Please go home.

So that's it? I get it.

Alright.

Instead, I'll tell everybody in this company,

I'll tell them all what you've done.

So it's blackmail, eh?

I'll call the police.

The police?

You probably have a criminal record for embezzlement.

Blackmailing could cause serious trouble for you.

Shut up.

How about going home quietly?

See, I'm busy.

Damn it.

I could care less about the police.

I'm not afraid of the police,

or detectives.

Bring it on!

Well, congratulations all, shall we have a toast?

Congratulations! Congratulations! Thank you!

Well, Ms. Kyôko, and all of you, it's a ski wear winter fashion show.

Let's go. - Yes, let's.

Your father came to my office again.

The madame will tell you the details.

Did my dad do something again?

It seems he threatened Mr. Yamazaki, demanding compensation.

I see.

Midori, blackmailing one of our good customers is a problem.

I want you to quit this club.

Hey!

Not enough sake!

Bring more!

Coming!

D'you hear me, girl!?

Hey.

Finally, I found Midori's father.

Drunk. That’s convenient for us.

Go to it.

- Hey, I'm waiting! - Coming! Coming!

Welcome!

Uncle, you’re gettin' wild.

The world is hopeless.

- Only drinking can save us. - Is that so?

I’m gettin' smashed tonight.

Sounds fun.

- We'll join you. - Here it is.

- Girl, more sake. - Okay.

- Another pitcher! - Okay.

- Firm butt! - Cut it out!

- Now, let's go! - Drink up, dad.

Thank you!

Ah, feeling good...

What are you doing!?

Uncle... wake up!

I was here before...

where you dallied with our brother's wife!

So you are...? - His younger brothers.

Why bring me here? - Uncle...

Call your daughter,

or I'll beat you to a pulp.

Why do you want to talk to her? - Just call her.

Make the call.

Are you thinking you can make her your plaything?

Call her or not!?

Stop joking.

Even if you kill me,

I wouldn't give you a free hand with her.

Is that so?

Then we'll play with you. C'mon!

This is for Uncle!

I won’t be patient with dad tonight.

Hello?

Midori... it's me.

Your father.

I got drunk and went to a hotel.

But I have no money to pay.

Please, could you bring me 10,000 yen.

No! I refuse.

You can go to jail!

You're so cold.

I hate the police.

Don't you understand?

Can't be helped.

Look, I'll come pick you up, but only tonight.

I also have something to discuss.

Here's the room.

What are you doing!? - Taking you to your dad.

Dad, that phone call...?

Forgive me!

They almost killed me.

I had to lie to you.

Who are these people?

Friends of that yaku...

No...

Yamano's brothers.

I paid you a million yen.

You have no business with us.

I don't recall receiving a million.

You're gonna pay it back with your body.

Damn it!

Let's do it.

Sabu, what are you doing?

We're gonna make this one a woman.

You lied to me,

even though you promised me.

We've settled things with the old man.

Stop it.

But, these are our brother's instructions.

Our brother also said he was done.

Take your dad home.

Father!

C'mon, get moving.

Don’t come back.

Dad!

I'm sending you off.

Acting on your own will cause trouble.

Shut up!

Are you questioning me?

It hurts!

Careful! Ouch!

Uncle, if you get drunk,

or mess around with women again, I'll kill you.

It's easier to kill another's parent than my own.

I understand.

I'm not joking.

You're only causing problems for your daughter.

I'd kill you, for her sake.

Wouldn't you prefer that?

Of course, yes.

Hey! What's your answer?

I'll never do it again.

You swear? - Yes.

Alright! - Ah, so painful!

I've had enough! Enough!

Remember, I'll fuckin' bust your skull.

If your dad gives you any shit, just call me.

I'll take care of him, anytime.

I'll call, definitely.

Got it!?

You're kind.

Why?

We both have disgusting parents.

That's life.

You’ll have trouble with your brother when you go back.

I'll manage.

Take care of your dad. He's messed up.

Ooh, it really hurts.

Is it really painful? - Yes, yes.

Idiot! Don't scrub like that!

Why can’t you be gentle?

Father,

you tried to blackmail Hiroshi.

He's so stingy.

He wouldn't pay even a penny.

I'd be happy if you weren't with such a cold person.

Forget about him.

I’ll find a better guy for you.

You say such stupid things!

I was fired from the club, thanks to you.

How am I to buy food tomorrow!?

Don't worry.

I have many connections.

I can promote you to many clubs.

You should count on me.

Enough! Why do you keep interfering with my life?

Ouch! Damn, that hurts!

Midori...

Cut out your fake play!

Fuck! - Shut up!

Wait!

You're kicking a wounded parent!

Exaggerating, eh!?

Stop it!

Okay, you'll stay home and be quiet?

I'll rest.

I'll do it.

Really?

Did it hurt? Did it really hurt?

It's not a big deal.

Dad, forgive me.

Kenji,

you became a big player too.

Opposed me, and let that woman go.

What's your explanation?

But, brother...

You told me that you'd let it go.

Shut up!

What's your beef?

I'm the one that brought you up into a yakuza.

Hey...

Kenji here... fell in love with Midori.

Don’t mess with me.

If that's so, then make her your woman, and make money for us.

If you refuse, I’ll kill you.

Got it.

She'll trust you, and follow your lead.

Bring her here, tomorrow.

Isn't it a good deal?

You get a woman you love, and can make a profit too.

Do it well.

Hey...

I knew it. Your brother did this?

Your face...

Where are you going?

To the model club?

I got fired. Looking for another job now.

Why come here?

Many things are not fun for me.

I wanna go out with you.

Alright, I’ll accompany you.

Are you okay with the job hunt?

I've been feeling gloomy too. Let’s go.

Lift me up?

You don't seem so yakuza-like.

I'm the dregs of humanity.

Being a fashion model is a good job.

It's a clean job.

It's the same.

It’s a dirty job.

Shall we drink?

I wanna get drunk and forget all the nasty things.

But no...

But it doesn't work. I can't forget.

Me too.

Pour another.

Fuck. Finally, it's night.

It's fine.

I'm okay to play until morning.

I don't want to go home,

and there's no place to go.

I don't care what happens.

That's right.

What are you doing!?

Stop it!

Alright! Do whatever you like.

Of course you're just yakuza.

Disgusting. Scum!

What's wrong? You're not going to do it?

Forgive me.

Actually...

I was ordered to make you mine, by the end of today.

By your brother? - That's right.

But... I won't do it.

Why not?

To be honest... I love you.

Well... but won't you get into trouble?

If I go back to the gang, I might be killed.

Then, what are you gonna do?

If I’m fed up with being yakuza,

I’ll leave Tokyo tonight, and escape somewhere.

Where will you go?

It was fun, the whole day today.

Farewell...

I won’t meet you again.

Hey!

Before leaving Tokyo...

Would you help me... once more?

Hello? - This is Midori.

It's you.

What's the point of calling?

I left home. I'm staying at a hotel.

But I can’t sleep. I feel lonely.

Come here and sleep with me, just one night.

We broke up.

Just once is fine.

I don’t want to end with hate, since I loved you so much.

We can get together, and then say goodbye.

Breaking up with the first love... I'll never forget it for my whole life.

I want to have nice memories.

But...

I’m... leaving for Osaka tomorrow.

I’ll live alone, apart from my dad, and from you.

So it's just for tonight.

Please.

Alright.

Which hotel, which room?

I wanted to see you! I’m glad!

It's a great room.

I want to have luxury,

since it's our last night.

Let's make sure this is the last night.

Hug me, and don't hold back.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you!

I love you, more.

Midori...

Thank you.

It's good.

Satisfied?

Now I can finally break up.

Midori.

You! Come here!

So you're done?

Who is this man?

Yakuza, but a nice one.

Although you abandoned me,

he's helped me.

What are you gonna do with a yakuza?

You know, you let that American sleep with Ms. Midori for business.

Let's hear the whole story.

I'm going to record it, with this.

Are you trying to trap me?

Were you lying that you love me?

I swear, I'm doing this because I love you.

I'm going to completely ruin you.

Come on, let's hear about it,

from the beginning to the end.

I have nothing to say.

Don't fuck with me.

Making profit by using a woman is the same as a yakuza.

And yakuza don't hesitate to confront others.

I'll let you know well.

Come on, up.

Stand up!

Beat him!

More, until he's really bloody.

Come on, talk.

I’ll beat you to death if you don’t.

I'll talk.

You... do you hate me... so much?

I like you.

I like you so much.

Okay, let's hear it.

That’s the whole story of how Midori and Henderson slept together.

Do the big guys in the company know about this?

I reported it to the director, Onodera, and to Tsuchiya, the director of sales.

The executives paid the one million yen that I gave to Midori's father.

So, the whole company agreed to it?

That's right.

Say whatever you want to.

Would you buy this tape for ten million yen?

As you know, the content is all true.

Ten million is too high.

If you don’t want it, I’ll take this to weeklies and newspapers.

Daito Textile may be a big company, but it does a rather dirty business.

This will definitely sell at a high price.

Listen, if you threaten us, we’ll contact the police.

What about the police?

I'm yakuza.

Two or three years in the slammer are fine for me.

I’m fine with that too. I'll fall as far as I need to.

It would be refreshing, even comfortable.

I'll talk a lot in the courtroom.

You okay with that?

Wait a minute. We need to think.

You. - Yes!

Midori.

Is this your revenge?

That's right.

I’m not a woman who gets abandoned and cries.

I’ll do whatever I want to. - You're silly.

I've made a lot of money for this company.

This kind of thing won't affect me.

Really.

But... cheating, beating, and threatening...

are a big deal.

This is really goodbye.

That’s fine.

I have someone I like.

I have no more business with you.

It is I who will say goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

You look unhappy.

Yakuza only want money.

If you take this back to them, you might be okay.

You won’t have to leave Tokyo.

But, this is yours.

I hate dirty money — can't stand even looking at it.

Hand it to your brother, and you'll be in the clear.

Ten million — they won't complain.

Well, they'll stop chasing after you,

and maybe I can finish with the gang.

Please do it, quickly.

Let’s become ordinary people again.

Redo things.

Start over from zero.

But, are you sure?

Giving me all of this?

I don't mind.

I want to forget everything.

That's right.

Then, I'll risk dealing with my brother.

I’ll manage, if I prepare myself for the worst.

After you quit the yakuza, come and see me again.

You’re the only one who can manage my dad.

I want to meet again, too.

See you.

The End
