Original subtitles

Give me a week.

Yeah, have a look.

You know I need the money up front.

Out of the country for five years.

- Yeah. - Where?

Canada. British Columbia.

Lumber mills mostly.

You ever been in prison?

No, sir.

Okay. I'll trail you for the rest of the day.

But if you're no good, you're gone.

- I'm just gonna take an ice pack. - I gotta get home to the wife.

Oh, come on. Let's have a couple of beers.

I'm beat. Tough day today, I tell you.

- Are you going to the game? - Yeah, you gonna come?

Hey!

We need back up!

Aargh!

We got him.

Aargh!

Shit.

Aargh!

- Come on, get outta here! - Alright.

Shit!

Get out!

Dino!

- Who are you? - Shit!

- Who sent you? - My employment officer.

We're going for the Lincoln. OK?

- OK. We go for the Lincoln. - Wait a second.

- What's happening? - Aargh!

In the car! In the car!

Gino!

Come on! Get that vehicle!

Hang on.

Now, luckily, the bullet passed right through.

It just missed a major artery, though.

- And he still lost a lot of blood. - Is he gonna be alright?

- What do you want, a warranty? - I don't want him checking out on me.

Should've thought of that before you brought him here.

But this guy seems pretty tough, though.

He'll probably pull through alright.

Phew! Oh, man.

Biggest goddamn tattoo I've ever seen.

What the hell are you doing?

Jesus. The guy certainly isn't afraid of needles, huh?

- How long till he comes to? - Got me.

Specs say this stuff is supposed to calm him down, but I'm not sure how long.

Haven't got into anesthetics yet, you know?

Look, thanks a lot.

It's what you get paid big bucks for.

Uh, speaking of which, that'll be 200 of them, right? Remember?

Yeah, listen, all's I got is a 30 right now.

- Hey, that's nice. 18 carat? - Forget it. Sentimental value.

Sentiment has no value.

How about I give you this now, I'll give you the rest next week when I get paid?

How about you give me the ring, or I dial 911.

Take it. But you call the cops, I'll find you, and I'll fucking bury you.

You got it?

Get off me, man!

You alright? Want some more water?

545... 9934.

545...

...9934.

Upstairs!

I'm relieved you're safe.

- Is the Boss alright? - Yes, he's fine.

Where's the man who saved me?

Pick your check up inside. You don't work here anymore.

Was it something I said?

Don't be a smart-ass. We don't hire ex-cons.

'There will be a staff meeting in five minutes.'

Nice Picasso.

Actually, it's not a Picasso.

Come in. Come.

Would you take a drive with me, Nick Davis?

I'm free.

- Thanks. - No, I thank you.

- Mr. Tendo also thanks you. - Mr. Tendo?

His family owns the company. I manage their business in this country.

- What kind of business is that? - Import.

Import. Import what, sake?

Among other things. We like to devasfy...

"Diversify". Excuse my English.

No, that's OK.

Words are pretty much overrated anyway.

I agree.

Actions speak best.

Okazaki?

Talk!

It's the end for you.

He's not talking. Says he knows nothing.

What did he do?

He's a traitor. He was involved in the attack.

You have anything to say to me?

I know nothing.

- We know you're a spy. - No. Not me.

We know you're lying to us. You're working for Campanela.

I swear to you, Sawamoto, I'm not working for Campanela!

This is your last chance.

Just tell me the truth!

You're making a mistake.

You're a brave man.

I regret having to put you through this.

I regret it also.

He's not gonna tell us anything.

Honesty, it's all we ask of those who work for us.

There's no honor in deceit.

Death does not frighten you.

No. Not if it's the right reason.

My business values your kind of man.

Oh, yeah? What are you offering?

What you gave me, a life.

Do I have to drink that shit?

When do I start?

Here you go.

That is Dino Campanela, the head of the Campanela family.

We believe he was behind the attack.

- You sure about that? - I will be.

What do you want me to do?

You will find what you need under the seat.

If there is trouble... use it.

There you are.

How are you doing, Shuji?

Listen, I heard what happened. I'm sorry.

If there's anything that I can do.

Thank you.

I'm glad you could make this meeting.

Like I said, anything I can do.

Let's sit.

I want to know why you have ignored our agreement?

What do you mean? We haven't interfered in your business.

Shuji, you mean you think that I had something to do with the hit? Never.

Never in a million years would I do anything to disrupt our agreement.

Our relationship means more to me than gold, and you know that.

Come on, Shuji. What do you think I am, a fucking idiot?

What are you trying to say here, Shuji?

Huh?

Not me. Not my family.

Not anybody who's got a future on this fucking Earth!

Somebody hires some lowlife piece of shit

that worked for me for five minutes, make it look like my guys,

put you and me in a war together, it's the last thing I want, you understand?

The last thing.

Mr. Tendo will be relieved to hear that.

You tell Mr. Tendo he has my full respect.

One thousand percent.

Thank you.

Any time.

So?

- It was him. - Really?

- Yes. - Now what?

We eat.

Come on. Let's go, come on.

Wow, it's a beautiful house.

I always thought you guys ate on the floor or something.

So how do you like Japanese food?

It's good. A little more exotic than I'm used to.

Yes. I would imagine prison food isn't very tasteful.

No, but they sure give you plenty of it.

One year is a long time to be locked up in solitary.

- You seem to be in very good shape. - Gee, thanks. Isometrics.

- And you're not very pale. - I'm quarter Apache.

Ah, a true American, eh?

So, why exactly did you go to prison, Mr. Davis?

I don't know how it works in Japan,

but in this country, it's considered rude to grill your dinner guest.

That is one custom we both share.

- Thanks, Shu. - Do not be so familiar.

What? Shu, short sure for Shuji. That is your name, isn't it?

You will call him Mr. Sawamoto!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Nick saved my life. He has proven much to me already.

So, you may call me Shu.

It's a good name, huh?

Toast.

To our friends... and our enemies.

May they both feel the warmth of our embrace.

That's Tommy's.

And this is crazy! We're just sitting here!

Let's go there tonight. Let's make them pay for this!

Sure, sure, now we're doing drive-bys, like a fucking street gang.

- What are we gonna do? - I don't know.

You're gonna put your gun away and help bury your cousin.

- Whoa, whoa. - What did you call me?

- Alright, alright, enough. - What did you call me?

- What did you fucking...? - Dino, let him up.

- Dino, are you listening to me? - Shut up, Vic!

- Are you trying to kill him? - Yes, I'm trying to kill him, the fuck!

- What did you say to me? - Rudy, give the man what he wants!

- Did I hear you say I'm sorry? - Tell him.

- Did I hear you say I'm sorry? - Jesus Christ.

Are you sorry? Huh?

I'm sorry. Alright?

I'm gonna tell you something. Tendo isn't a dumb fuck like you.

The first thing he's expecting is a strike right now.

So we count this hit as a payback, and let's get back to business.

No!

Don't you ever fucking talk to me like that again.

We let things cool down.

We find out when Tendo goes back to Japan.

We find out who the fuck this American is he's got working for him.

OK, so once we've got this information, then what?

Then we call in our connections.

And we blow them all off the face of the fucking Earth.

This is Tony's.

Sam?

Man, what took you so long? I'm freezing my nuts off in here.

I didn't pick this place. Tell it to the captain.

No, you tell it to the captain. Man, he's mad as hell at you.

For what?

You get sent undercover, and the next thing we know,

San Pedro Bay looks like V8 juice.

- What the hell happened this time? - Tendo's in town.

Campanela found out and tried to knock him off.

Yeah, well, I hear they would have succeeded

if some asshole hadn't interfered.

- You talking about me, Sam? - Shit, yeah, I'm talking about you.

You're supposed be helping us bring these guys down.

Give me a break. You know, you told me to get in deep.

I'm in all the way.

They didn't teach us this one at the academy.

He thinks I'm Batman or something.

Yeah. Well, we found Robin floating in a bay with a third eye.

What do you mean?

The guy who was the manager at that warehouse, he was undercover, too.

- Okazaki? - They thought he was Campanela's man.

Hey, thank god they didn't suspect FBI.

Well, neither did I! My neck's on the line, and I don't know that?

I thought we were supposed to look out for each other.

Oh, Okazaki used to be Yakuza.

He pissed off his elders in Honolulu.

They doubted his loyalty, so we made him a deal.

Loyalty...

- You know, they understand that word. - So do we.

The important thing is that you didn't blow your cover.

Yeah, no thanks to you.

We've never had anybody in this deep before.

So you've got to do whatever it takes to stay in, Dave.

You hear me? Whatever it takes.

OK, OK.

You take care yourself.

Who sent you? Who the fuck sent you?

Get off me!

Kazuo...

Why the hell am I being followed?

Why are you having me followed?

I understand your anger.

But while Mr. Tendo is visiting, we can't take any chances.

Hey, look, you hired me. If you don't trust me, cut me loose.

I don't need some freak with a sword following me every time I take a shit.

Are you always this crude?

Only when I'm pissed off.

Then, I'm sorry I pissed you off.

Oh, yeah...

I think that's yours.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Christ.

- Campanela's? - Yakuza don't mess around.

How did you get these?

They sent them to you?

I think Campanela wants us to know what we're up against.

The Mafia's warning us about the Yakuza?

- That's rich. - You may be right.

Just hope our guy can bust him before they start an all-out war.

Brandt. What amazes me is how he got so deep so fast.

How good's his cover story?

A convict died in solitary, so we gave Brandt his identity.

There's no way for Yakuza to find out otherwise.

But Brandt's bio is, uh... not exactly what I'd call sparkling.

He's a bit of a loner, but he's a solid agent.

The FBI's the only family he's got. His parents were a horror story.

I don't give a shit about his family life.

What I want to know is this. Can we trust him?

Sir, when I started out, I worked in the field with Brandt.

He'll run through a wall for you if he believes in you,

but you betray him, you don't wanna be on the same fucking planet.

Wonder boy or not, I'm putting backup on this case.

You're the boss.

So what kind of job?

Oh, don't worry, Nick. It's easy job. Easy.

Choose one.

Easy job, huh?

Don't you have a regular guy for this?

He's not with us anymore. We must all make adjustments.

Go.

Wonderful.

So where are we going, boys?

Some hero... he smells like a cheeseburger!

This is a great tune!

Let's go!

Stay! You are only the watch dog.

Quickly now!

Hey!

What the fuck is this?

Shoulda bought American.

Shit!

Hey, guys, how's it going? Come on in.

So you guys wanna hear a joke?

So there's this little boy, he finds a welder's mask...

Get out the van, fucker. Slowly.

Let's go, jerk-off.

'So the kid's walking down the street. This old man pulls over, offers him a ride...'

Come on, Mike. Not that joke. Jesus!

That joke is older than fire.

So the old man leans over and says, "So have you ever heard of fellatio?"

And the kid says, no. So they drive another mile or two.

The guy leans over and he says, "Hey, you ever heard of sodomy?"

The kid rips off his mask, and he says, "Look, man, I'm not a welder!"

I guess you had to be there.

OK, now let's see the booty.

'Let's see what we've got here.'

Fully automatic. Who did the conversions?

Right. Come on.

That's it, that's the ticket. Come on.

- Get down! - Get the gun!

Take it! Take it!

Shoot him! Aargh! Shoot him!

So we have a deal, or what?

Bingo!

OK, Mike, let's get outta here.

Who's that? Oh, gee... Who the fuck is that?

Mike? Mike, do you read me? It goes down now. Right now.

Fuck!

So sorry, asshole.

Watch your fucking mouth.

Freeze! FBI!

Oh, shit.

- On the floor! Now! - Do it, goddamn it!

Hey, hey, hey!

Give it up!

Aargh!

Fuck you!

I'll kill them all. Motherfuckers!

Get out of here. Go on!

Get out of here! Go on!

Get the fuck out of here!

Hold your fire!

Hold your fucking fire!

- I'm FBI, damn it! - Fuck you!

Special Agent Brandt.

You guys fucked up!

Good try, asshole.

I'm his target for assassination.

- We've taken every precaution. - Still, it will happen.

I'll put Kazuo by your side.

But Campanela has the advantage. This was their territory.

The desire to protect it will drive them harder.

We can't make any mistakes.

Yes, sir. We will make no mistakes.

What about this new man? Can you trust him?

Yes, sir.

But he's an outsider.

We are all outsiders here.

What do you think you're doing, barging in here?

I'm sorry, sir.

What happened?

We got ambushed. We were lucky to get out.

We lost Taka.

What about the guns?

Gone.

Wasn't a complete loss, though.

Kazuo got it out.

We got it out.

Wow, this is great.

- This your new place, huh? - No.

Yours.

Mine?

You don't like it?

No, no... I mean, yeah. It's just, uh...

It's so big, you know, for one person.

Perhaps that will change.

What kind of bullshit is that?

You told me to do whatever it takes to stay in.

That didn't include shooting your fellow agents.

- Those guys should never have been there. - That's not the point.

- That's exactly the point! - Goddammit, David, you shot three agents.

I winged 'em! I tried to keep them alive, which is more than they did for me.

- They didn't know who you were. - I told them! I surrendered!

What do you want me to do?

- You gonna take me off the case or what? - No, I wish I could.

Believe me, I wish I could. But no.

Is that it? You risk blowing my cover just to chew me out?

No, Littman told me to try to find out if you had gone nuts.

So I'm gonna tell him that you haven't, right?

- You tell him whatever you want. - Oh, no!

I'm gonna tell him that you haven't. Right?

Will that be all?

Yeah.

Hi.

Hello, Mr. Davis. I am Yuko.

How are you doing?

Mr. Sawamoto said that you found this place empty.

He hoped that I may be able to help you fill it somehow.

- How are you gonna do that? - I'm an interior decorator.

Oh, yeah? So why did Sawamoto pick you?

He said that was your choice,

that you had described exactly who you wanted.

- So you work for him? - No.

Mr. Sawamoto is my godfather.

So who is he, Vic?

- We don't know yet. - You don't know yet?

It's very impressive, Vic.

- We're spread a little thin right now, Dino. - Yeah, right.

Shit!

What's this I hear about you and Carmen settling down?

We're wanna buy a house, you know.

A house? What, like this house?

- No. Not like this. - What's wrong with this house?

Come on, huh? I don't need anything this big.

What the fuck does need have to do with it?

You think I need fourteen bedrooms?

You think I need eight rooms to take a shit in?

Christ, Vic, if all I had was what I needed,

I'd be living in a cardboard box with a fucking blow-up doll.

I have this incredible house

because it makes a statement about who I am.

It says that I am a force to be reckoned with.

What are you, Vic?

You know, it's time that you stopped jacking off

and started making a serious commitment, not just Carmen, but to this family.

And the first and most important step in doing that

is to stop thinking about what you need and start taking what you want.

Well...

I want respect.

You want respect? You take out Tendo.

You put him out of business, I don't care how you do it,

you'll have all the respect you need.

And then we'll talk about the house.

Hi. Hi, Yuko.

- So happy you could make it. - Well, my client insisted.

Well, Yuko said she needed to know more about me,

so I'm kind of helping her do her job.

- Good idea. - Hi, Yuko!

I'm so happy to see you again.

Nick, this is Aya.

- She's my manager here. - Hello.

- Nice to meet you. - Oh, this is the man who saved you.

He's the one.

I was just in the right place at the right time.

I want to talk with Yuko.

Come on. Let me show you my place.

- It's been a difficult week. - Yeah?

Campanela, Taka...

Thank you, Stacey.

And now our contact at the Mexican border has been killed.

You know who did it?

I think maybe his wife killed him.

- Shit. - These things happen.

I do know this guy in San Diego.

When I was in high school, I used to smuggle a little pot, you know,

and then I'd cut him in on the action.

- He still works the border. - Sounds promising.

The best thing is doesn't have a wife.

I like you, Nick Davis. I think fate brought you to me.

- Well, here's to fate. - And to family.

What's wrong?

- I've offended you? - No.

- I was just thinking about something. - Tell me. Tell me about your family.

Well, my father was a drunk.

My mother... was a drunk.

Should never have had a fucking kid, you know?

The Yakuza is my family now.

It gives us absolute loyalty and trust.

- We take care of each other. - Sounds alright.

It is. You would like it.

Nick...

Go. Be with her.

Yeah.

- Thanks for the tie. - You like it?

I think Yuko likes Nick.

There's much to like about him.

- What's the matter, I step on your foot? - No.

- Is it my breath? - No.

Well, what's wrong?

We are in public.

Ah. I see.

What's the story with those guys, anyway? Are they...?

They are very special to each other, yes.

Uh-huh. Like what? Like are they engaged?

- No, they will never marry. - Why not?

Mr. Sawamoto's position in the family places him at great risk.

They have both decided it would be safer to remain apart.

That's bullshit.

Look how happy they are, you know. And look at Shu.

I wouldn't want to hide that.

Neither would I.

Hey!

Get off of me!

Aargh! Get your hands off me, nigger!

I'm waiting for Nick Davis, man!

Whoa, fuck!

He's a little rough, but he's a great guy.

I know you'll like him.

Hey, Nick. What's happening, buddy?

You're looking good, buddy. You're looking good.

- You OK? - Yeah. Cool, buddy. Yeah.

Mr. Sawamoto, my friend Bill Jenkins.

Hey, how about that trade deficit? Getting bigger every day, ain't it? Ha-ha!

- It's good to meet a friend of Nick's. - Sure thing.

Me and Nick, we go way back.

We used to hang out and do things I wouldn't even do with my own brother.

We got some stories we could tell, don't we, man?

- Hot one, ain't it, Billy? - Yes, it is.

I'm sorry, man, I forgot you people don't have deserts.

This dry heat do take some getting used to,

specially if you're gonna be wearing suits out here.

- Mr. Jenkins. - Yeah?

- We're busy men. - Me, too.

- So you do know what we need? - Oh, yeah.

Nick says you got some big stuff you need to be greased through the border.

Yes.

Well, I handle the number three artery into the California.

The night shift.

I could smuggle through a herd of elephants if I had enough capital.

That's true. Billy here is the very best.

He's your man.

So, uh... what do we move?

When the time comes, we'll let you know.

Sure thing. Konnichiwa. I've been studying.

Might be playing baseball in Tokyo next year.

- I'll call you, Bill. - OK, partner. Alright.

Ha-ha!

So what did you think?

He was nervous.

It's a big opportunity. Anyone would be.

- Are you sure about him? - Absolutely.

Then, I am, too.

Plain ones or the patterns?

Nick?

What's wrong?

Nothing. I was just admiring your work.

Really? It is not finished.

I can wait.

Is it my breath?

Nick... we are not in public.

Mr. Sawamoto wants to see you.

Why?

You will come with me.

Now!

I'll get my coat.

Nick Davis, will you join us?

Yeah.

"Having drunk from the Oyabun's cup and he from yours..."

"You shall be accepted as part of the Tendo family,

"and as Shuji Sawamoto's sworn brother."

"Even should you starve, even at the cost of your life..."

"Your duty is now to the family and Oyabun,

"through fire and blood, from now to the day you die."

You knew about the ceremony, didn't you?

I could hardly keep it a secret.

An American being accepted into the family

is not something that happens every day.

Why is that?

Can you understand me?

You don't, do you?

I could never tell you this,

but even in this short time...

...I know in my heart...

...that I could spend the rest of my life with you.

Why don't you go back to fucking K9 where you belong?

Fucking let go of me!

Somebody wanna tell me what the hell is going on here?

Wonder-bitch here just blew the shit out of my cover.

- There is no more cover. It's over. - It's over? What you mean it's over?

The whole operation. New ball game.

Something is about to come down. We want you out of harm's way.

What's he talking about?

We've heard that Dino Campanela's gearing up to hit the entire Tendo family.

What?

- What are we gonna do about it? - Nothing.

- Nothing? What do you mean, nothing? - That's enough.

What do you mean, nothing?

- See you around. - Suck my ass.

Fucking ridiculous!

Agent Brandt, you're in my office.

Let me make it easy for you.

We know how to deal with the mob.

The Yakuza are very different and very dangerous.

They get a foothold in this country, we are screwed.

The Campanela people will do for us in 24 hours

what it would've taken another two months in the field

and three years in court.

- I know these people... - It's pretty damn clean, actually.

When is this going down, actually?

As far as we know, immediately.

I'd like to thank you, Agent Brandt, for your hard work on this project.

I'm sorry it couldn't have gone for better use.

Maybe next time.

- I know what you're thinking. - Get the fuck out of my way.

You can't interfere in this.

Sam, how can you sit back and let innocent people get slaughtered?

Innocent people? Jesus Christ, man. Have you lost your mind?

They're not innocent people, they're Yakuza. They're the bad guys, remember?

- Yeah. I remember. - Good.

Then, maybe you'll accept this as a professional.

Littman's got you booked on a flight for Hawaii tonight.

Look, it's for your own protection.

You've done such a good job, even Campanela's fooled.

He thinks you're Yakuza, and if he's hitting the Tendo family,

you're going to be very high on that list.

- OK. - Now, listen, you're going right?

I'm going, I'm going.

Hey, thanks.

Nick?

Yuko?

No! Nick, help me!

Yuko!

I will kill Campanela...

...if it's the last thing I do in this lifetime.

Wait! Shu!

I can't just watch you die.

Yes, I speak Japanese.

I learned it at the FBI.

I was wrong.

You will never understand.

Never.

You should all feel proud.

The Japanese have always been a strong and cunning people.

But tonight we proved that American drive and know-how is still number one.

Tonight, we drink from our enemy's cup.

We eat from our enemy's table.

And we celebrate... in his most proud room, ha-ha!

Tonight, the victory is complete.

Go clean these.

- So let's hear some fucking music. - Yeah!

Sit down, Vic.

- Johnny, bring my number one a scotch. - Beer's fine.

Tonight, you drink like a man.

Look what I found hiding up here! Come on.

Well, well, the entertainment has finally arrived.

Poor little buttercup.

Come on, baby! Come on, it's a party!

Have a drink with the new owners. Come on...

You bitch!

- You think this is absolutely necessary? - Fuck you, Vic!

Don't mess with me. I'll kill her. Fuck you!

Get down!

Nick, help Aya!

I'm holding you responsible for this! Vic!

Apologize.

- Come on, Vic. - Apologize!

Kill him!

Vic, you're a fucking coward.

Come on. You wanna fucking kill me?

You think I'm scared of dying, huh?

Fuck you.

Fuck your people.

Fuck your whole fucking race!

- Shu! - Yo, Yakuza!

Shit!

Aya?

She's OK.

So what is your real name?

It's David.

I like Nick.

Stay still, stay still.

Get my sword.

Get it.

You picked the wrong fucking side.

I'm sorry.

We will settle this...

...in the next life.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Watch my back.

Ah, man. Jesus!

Oh, man.

Dave...

Ah, shit...
