It happened to be a leap year.

On the night of the 29th of February,

a young prostitute
called Sachiko Miyamoto

was killed in a love hotel
in Amagasaki City.

Based on hair and fingerprints
at the crime scene,

Masato Imamura of the Yonemoto
branch of the Osaka Sakamoto gang

was wanted for questioning.

But Imamura was found dead
two days later in the Dotonbori River.

As Sachiko Miyamoto was a regular
heroin user, the police thought

the incident was caused
by disputes between drug dealers.

Sachiko's lover,

Akira Nishimoto, a junior member
of the Kawahara gang of Amagasaki,

was investigated
as a key person of interest.

We did it that night too.

I took Sachiko to the apartment
of a woman called Misuzu Konaka.

If you think I'm lying, call her.

What's the address?

The Sakae Building in Ogama-machi.

- Go over there now.
- Yes, sir.

- Hey!
- Ouch! Ouch!

If it wasn't you, who was it?

You guys have been fighting
the Yonemoto hoodlums for a long time!

I've got nothing to do with that,
honestly.

There are many higher-ranking guys
in the Kawahara gang. Go and ask them.

I didn't say a word, brother.

I never mentioned your name
to the cops.

Just stay clear of dealing drugs for now.

- The cops are watching you.
- Yes. Thank you.

Aki?

Misuzu? What's up?
What are you doing here?

I was waiting for you.

- You've had a hard time.
- If you want drugs, I have none.

That's not what I want.
I thought I'd cook you a meal.

- Oh, what a mess!
- Tidy it up.

What's that?

Sachiko's ashes.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

You're weird.
Are you that scared of some bones?

Sachiko had no family to bury her.

I thought I'd take it to some temple.

You're kind, aren't you?

I've always liked you.

I felt the same too.

I'll be done in 40 minutes.
Play some pachinko while you wait.

Hey mister, step outside
with us for a moment.

- I'm just in the middle of...
- Come on!

Hold on!

Hey, keep walking.

In here.

In there!

Wait a minute.
What's all this about?

I'm Nakamichi from
the Yonemoto gang.

I want to know who killed Imamura.

- I don't...
- Don't try lying to us!

- We're not the homicide squad.
- Hold on. I really don't know.

- I'll be off, then.
- Wait!

We have to burn incense
in honor of Imamura.

Or we could offer him your head!

Hold on a minute!

I was playing mahjong that evening.
Ask around if you don't believe me.

Cut it out! Who did it?
Was it Sunaga or Tanaka?

Please... Brother!

Alright?
I see you're all getting on well.

Come on, let's go.

Bastard!

Hey, Nakamichi.
Where are you now?

We've been looking for you.
The boss is with the police.

Hatanaka and another four
were killed on the spot.

We can't let this happen.

We're planning how to attack
the Kawahara gang next.

Hurry up and come over.

Hey, Nakamichi, what's wrong?
Can you hear me? Say something!

License, please.

There you are.

Hey, you there! You!
We have to search you.

Shut up!

"Tsutomu Nakamichi,
born 20th May 1945, 31 years of age.

"Place of birth: Narao Town,
Matsuura District, Nagasaki Prefecture.

"Address: 4-6 Minami Honmachi,
Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture.

"Occupation:
Employee of Yonemoto Industries.

- "Criminal record..."
- That's enough.

You were with Iwaki in Wakamatsu
in Kitakyushu for some time?

And then you came to Osaka
eight years ago. Why was that?

Right, I got it.
I'll talk to Nozaki about you guys.

Thank you very much.

What's this, Nakamichi? I told you
to stay away from my sister!

Brother, we were just
discussing this with the boss.

Let them be, Nozaki.

Asami has reached an age where
she should leave your guardianship.

Brother, I beg you.

Asami has said she'll reconsider.

- Don't you say that!
- Brother...

Say what you like,
but I won't give her up!

What are you doing, brother?

Brother! Brother!

Nakamichi! Take my sister,
but get the hell out of Kyushu!

I'll fucking kill you
if you ever come back!

Detective, what will happen
to my husband now?

You're in quite a difficult situation, aren't you?

A gangster for a husband
and a baby to nurse.

Oh, not at all.
He used to get into fights,

but he's settled down
and looks after me well now.

Boss Yonemoto says so too.

He's an upstanding man.

When he came to Osaka,
he got into debt to these guys.

But that very night he made his wife
into a geisha and paid them back.

The things he gets up to...

The guy's quite something.

If you look at what he did
to the Kawahara gang,

how could he do that
if he wasn't spirited? Of course, he is.

He attacked them all on his own.
He's got guts, hasn't he?

Oh, I shouldn't be saying that here.

But this being the case,
I hope you will let him off lightly.

One of the parties that provoked
this trouble, the Yonemoto gang,

was a branch of the biggest
Osaka-based Kansai group,

the Sakamoto gang.

On the other hand,
the Kawahara gang

were allied with the gang
that proudly ruled over Kitakyushu,

the Kyushu Genryu Group, with whom
they'd formed a coalition of seven gangs.

Thus, these two syndicates that
split western Japan between them,

plunged into an explosive crisis.

KOKURA,
KITAKYUSHU

GENRYU GROUP

Good job, Nakayama.

It's to our credit that
we're Kyushu born and bred.

The Sakamoto gang must've
got a shock.

What? I was ready to give them half!

The question now is,
what move Sakamoto is going to make.

We'll fight them back!

This is not just a Kawahara matter.

The Sakamotos have created problems
in Kyushu, Hiroshima, Shimonoseki

and for all the seven gangs.

I'm glad to see you in high spirits,
but watch your blood pressure.

Don't be stupid! It's always been
my ambition to die in battle!

What's going on
with the Kawahara gang?

They're just an insect
a hundredth of our size.

If we let this pass,
we'll be the laughing stock of Japan!

Kyushu and Hiroshima are covering
the kid's ass. So what do we do?

What to do?
How about tossing bombs at them?

That won't do the job.
We've lost six men already.

But if we do it badly,
it'll make us look bad.

Lieutenant,
why don't we vote on it?

We can decide whether to act
as a federation...

Just leave it alone.
I'll take care of it myself.

- What will you do?
- As long as Kawahara dies, who cares?

Yonemoto, hold on a moment.

Having reached this point,
it's no longer your individual problem.

- What the fuck?
- Hey, Yonemoto!

- Calm down.
- Piss off!

It's like Nakahara says.

If we turn the tables

and muddy the boss's reputation,
we won't recover from it.

I have intelligence that the police
will raid Kawahara's place.

We'll have to monitor
the situation for a while.

Chief, do you think
the Sakamoto gang will retaliate?

As far as the Sakamoto gang
is concerned,

there'll be cooperation with Hyogo
Prefectural Police to quell the unrest.

Can you please elaborate?

A crackdown on sources of funding,
such as drugs, tobacco, extortion,

is under consideration as a means
of weakening their ability to fight. Thank you.

What are you doing?
Don't be scared.

Daddy hasn't done anything suspicious.

Hey, we're the victims here.

What are you doing?
Watch what you're doing!

Careful with my head!
Just go ahead and arrest me, then!

WAKAMATSU, KITAKYUSHU

Nozaki!

Take a look at this.

What's this?

They're the suspects
in the Amagasaki incident.

We have intelligence
that they escaped to this area.

I'll leave this with you.

Keep an eye on your staff.

- I'll leave it to you.
- Yes.

Right, let's go home.

They killed four people in a café
in Amagasaki.

- They look nasty.
- Yeah, even worse than you.

How dare you!

Hey! If you don't hurry,
you won't get paid!

IWAKI MARITIME TRANSPORT

Good evening. I'm late.

Oh, Shu! Welcome.

This is the March payment for the boss.

Thanks.
He's waiting for you. Please go in.

Shuichi, hurry up!

Come on in.

- Good evening.
- Come over here.

- You're late.
- I had to tidy up after work.

How's your back?

Same as always.
It won't heal until I die!

- How about a game of shogi?
- Yes.

Bring the game!

Dearest, I have to show something
to Shu first.

A matchmaking photo again, right?
Leave it.

Shuichi doesn't feel like getting married.

But this one is a really good match.

She's the daughter
of a draper from Kokura.

Let's talk about this later.

- But Shu...
- Just leave it, I said.

Don't just stare, have a drink.

Listen, if all you do is play shogi,

then you'll never see
your grandchildren before you die.

What's she talking about?

You know my neuralgia?
It's her nagging that caused it.

I phoned Nakamichi in Osaka.

Asami seems to be doing quite well.

I gave her your number at work.

Thanks for your concern.

How about inviting Asami here
while Nakamichi is away?

Things seem somehow
to have calmed down in Osaka.

The cops are restraining Sakamoto,

so he can move neither hands nor feet.

Fights nowadays are more
about being clever than strong.

How far are they going to go?

It doesn't suit old relics like me.

Times have changed.

Why don't you let Shu
gradually run things?

Shut up.
I'm already thinking about it.

Shuichi, the Fellowship of Seven
has a meeting at Sansui Hall next month.

Why don't you go instead of me?

Boss, forgive me, I don't like places
where there'll be quarrels.

If you keep saying that,
you'll never get ahead.

I have to work on the company
for the next two or three years.

Boss, I'm sorry about this,
but you must keep going a little longer.

Boss, I am sincerely grateful to you
for posting bail for me this time.

Oh, don't mention it.

Nakamichi, there are still
some difficulties... so lie low for now.

Hey, Nakamichi.
Your wife's waiting outside.

I keep telling her to come in,
but she won't do it.

- What's this?
- We're just collecting some money.

The boss of the mother organization
is turning 60 next month.

The young guys from the Matsuoka gang
have raised 3 million alone.

- We can't let them beat us.
- I see. Then I should chip in too.

But you need it for yourself, don't you?

Don't worry,
I can easily afford 10 or 20 bonds.

There, there.

There, there.

Asami, we have to repay the bail money
to the boss, you know.

How much is it?

Two million.

We can pay it in installments.

I can't do that, it's not cool.

But we just bought this house
and the mortgage isn't paid off.

Maybe I should go out to work again.

Don't be stupid!
It's not like the old days.

Is the bath ready?

Asami...

the boss likes me,

so you don't have to worry,
we can easily buy a house.

Yes? It's for you, boss.

It sounds like a pretty woman.

Nozaki here.

Asami... What's up?
Has something happened?

No, it's nothing.

I just felt like hearing
my brother's voice.

Yeah, and Nakamichi
got released on bail.

Kiyomi's not sick any longer.
Everything's fine.

You sound well too, brother.

You can talk to me about anything.
I'm always here for you.

Thanks for calling.
Bye, then.

Brother, that guy over there,
he's in this wanted photo.

What?

Betting's closed.

One!

There's no doubt.

- Shall we call the cops?
- No, I'll call the boss.

Brother, brother!

- Heading home?
- Yes, thank you.

Hey, young man.

Got any money?

Come on!

There.

Sit down. Sit down.

What do you think?
Good-looking, huh?

Hold on.

See, we've got booze
and we've got food.

- Darling, my fix!
- We have a client. Behave yourself.

- I need my fix!
- I just bought it.

Hang on. Money, money.

Here. I'm going home.

Wait! It's no good if I take money
for nothing. Fuck her!

- No thanks.
- What?

- No thanks.
- Don't you want to fuck my woman?

I'll do whatever you say.

That's better.

Take your time until the morning.

Darling!

- You're abandoning me!
- No!

Didn't I just buy your fix?

Watch out! Watch out!

I'm going to kill you!

Murder! Help me!

- Thanks for everything.
- Don't mention it. Have a safe trip.

Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

The Amagasaki station arrested him.

Tsugawa and Tanaka were caught
in Hiroshima.

They confessed to both the café
and Kanzaki River killings.

And now it's all solved.

- Is the girl dead?
- She's in serious condition but alive.

She'll have nightmares
about the woman she killed now.

I'll turn a blind eye to your gambling.

You just look after the young guys.

Happy birthday!

- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.

This way, everyone, please.
Ready? Here we go.

Thank you very much.

Boss, we've all consulted
on how to honor you.

We found a lovely plot in Shirahama
for a summer house. What do you think?

We also considered
refurbishing the headquarters,

but if we did that,
the police would get nosy.

If you don't like cops around,
you should get out of organized crime.

I appreciate your sentiments,
but it costs money to fight a war.

Make sure not to waste any money.

The boss is pretty angry.

That's nothing new.

I told you we should've finished off
Kawahara in one blow back then.

- We'll still manage.
- I don't know about that.

It's crawling with cops
around Kawahara.

Kawahara's the head of the snake.
The real enemy is behind him.

You mean Kyushu.

That's true, but we can't take on
the entire Fellowship of Seven.

It has to be proportionate
to the six men we lost.

It'd be appropriate
if we took out a gang boss.

So who's actually going to do it?

That's what we have to decide now.

Right, Yone?

Twenty years have passed already.

I don't know how much
we've gambled in this very inn.

I once staked 3 billion
on a game of dice.

Kawahara, you may think
you've become a man after the last fight.

But can you gamble 3 billion?

At the end of the day,
the men of Chikuho are the best!

One of my juniors
is a guy called Nozaki.

It's rare to find one these days,
a blessed Chikuho man.

We've heard enough of that.
Have a drink.

Chairman, you have
to take good care of Nozaki.

I think, sooner or later, he'll become
the leader of the whole of Kyushu.

I also have high hopes for Nozaki.

Sorry for the interruption.
The masseuse has arrived.

Make her wait.
I haven't finished talking!

- Stop!
- We're family!

My love!
Why did this have to happen?

To such a man like you?

Sorry, but we have to hurry.

No one expected
a female contract killer.

The Sakamoto gang are good,
I'll give them that.

- Was it really Sakamoto?
- It can't be anybody else.

It's Sakamoto.
Those punks came to get revenge.

- Iwaki was just unlucky.
- It could've been any one of us.

I'm glad I didn't book a masseuse.
That would've been the end of me.

She's a pretty one!

She's got a tattoo!

What? She's a man!

You know this guy, don't you?

He's a transvestite
who frequents gay bars.

- I don't know him.
- Don't mess with us!

You withheld his heroin
to put pressure on him.

Hold it there.
What are you talking about?

It was well thought out,
using a transvestite as a hitman.

Detective...

You guys used him
and then you silenced him, didn't you?

Hey, I know you guys.

That punk goes to jail for ten years,
and you go free.

Yonemoto! Don't treat the police
like we're idiots.

Look at this!
Do you know what it is?

It's an arrest warrant
for Hidemitsu Sakamoto.

It just needs a stamp
and it's ready to go.

On his birthday,
Sakamoto said to you

that you should leave the yakuza
if you didn't like the police around.

He provoked you, didn't he?

That could be a motive
to commit murder. Get it?

If you guys keep misbehaving,

there's no telling what might
happen to the boss.

Now go home and cool your head down.

Discuss it with Matsuoka or whoever.

It seems that tomorrow,
your succession will be discussed

at a meeting of the Genryu Group.

I had a phone call
from Chairman Funada.

I told him that,
if it was at all possible,

I'd like you to be relieved
of your gang obligations.

But Funada was clear
that he would not allow that.

I think the best way is
for you to do what you feel like.

I no longer feel any attachment
to the Iwaki Family and its reputation.

If you have anything to say,
say it clearly in front of them all.

You don't need to hold back
for anybody's sake now.

Just speak for your people.

I have no objections if Nozaki succeeds
as head of the Iwaki gang.

But what will people say if he succeeds
without avenging the boss?

We don't even know who the culprit is.

Of course it was Yonemoto.

That's not for you to say.
The police investigation isn't over.

The other side
attacked us indiscriminately.

We don't have to be gentlemanly
about it, do we?

Will Yonemoto do? Does his stature
match that of old boss Iwaki?

What? What are you saying?

Stop it, will you?

Nozaki, what do you say?

Until I avenge the boss,
I won't be able to do anything else.

Very well. We'll leave it
to your judgement. Do as you wish.

Don't worry. We won't show them
that we have high hopes for you.

The Sakamoto gang aren't as strong
as they used to be.

Well, the time has come.

It's decided. All of us against Osaka.

KANMON BRIDGE

Joe is a bit of a wild Korean.

He's ex-army, so he has the skill.

Joe, I've brought you some customers.

I've known them for a long time.
You can trust them.

A down payment of 500,000
and 1.5 million later.

I take it that's OK.

And this is your target.

500,000 first, then 1.5 million.
Is that OK?

We'll go to Osaka straight away.
Where's his piece?

Where's your weapon?

His mistress is younger
than his daughter.

She's Yonemoto's treasure
and he sees her on Saturdays.

- Boss!
- Welcome back.

What's going on with them?

We were surprised too.

The Sakamoto gang have been
all over Kokura since this morning.

The cops don't understand it either.

Brother!

What a coincidence, meeting here.

Nakamichi, what business
do you have being here?

I came with my boss.

Do you mean Yonemoto?

Yeah, and the head boss
is with us too.

That'd be Sakamoto. What business
does he have here? Do you know?

He's going to a hotel opening
in Amakusa.

Hey, Nakamichi!

I'll call you in the office later.
We've got a lotto talk about.

- Boss, this is awkward.
- What should we do?

You go to Osaka, stop Joe,
and wait there.

- Definitely don't make a move.
- Right.

This way, please.

Welcome.
Thank you for coming.

Welcome, all of you.

Boss, this is Funada
from the Genryu Group.

Please be seated.

I had many dealings
with your predecessor.

And I will have the same with you
from now on.

- I look forward to working with you.
- And I with you.

Welcome back.

Nozaki, where were you?
We've been looking for you.

Chairman, I hear you met Sakamoto.
What on earth is going on?

Well, you see,
the situation has changed a bit.

Nozaki, you haven't done anything yet,
have you?

I mean with regard
to what we discussed.

You mean about having
Yonemoto shot dead?

Exactly.

I've made the arrangements,
but it's on hold.

Actually, Sakamoto suddenly asked
to see me last night.

We immediately held
an emergency meeting

and agreed at least to honor
the request for a meeting.

I've heard that they've brought
300 men with them.

That's quite threatening.

There was nothing threatening
about the meeting.

Matsuoka put forward
a very important proposition.

We're going to meet once more tonight.

Nozaki,
until a conclusion is reached,

under no circumstances are you
to harm Yonemoto. Understand?

What's this very important proposition
you mentioned?

I don't know the details yet,

but, in short,
it's a peace settlement.

Chairman, you talk
about a peace settlement,

but isn't peace between Kyushu
and Osaka impossible?

Therein lie the politics.

There's the public image to consider.
We can't reject it outright.

We'll say what needs to be said.

We'll stick to our guns.
Don't you worry.

I understand.

I'll wait just this one day.

I've just been to burn incense
in honor of Boss Iwaki.

Have you?

The boss was fond of you,
so he'd be happy.

I didn't know what to say to his wife.

Brother, what do you think
about this whole story?

What story?

There are stories about Yonemoto
in the newspapers,

but they don't say everything.

My boss never needed to act
as cowardly as that.

It's unbelievable.

If you attacked the boss...

I couldn't stand by in silence.

You don't need to worry, Nakamichi.
I'm not going to do anything.

Is that the truth?

If I was planning something,
I wouldn't be drinking with you now.

I also have Sakamoto's head
to aim for.

That's just like you, brother.

But if you said that in Osaka,
you'd be dead in no time.

Well, I thought for now we could call
the group the Western Japan Fellowship.

To sum up, we thought
we could join forces with you

and form an organization
for the whole of western Japan.

That's our thinking.

Frankly speaking,
what's your objective?

Some people think it's to dissolve
the Fellowship of Seven.

No, no. This is purely
for the purpose of amity.

If we wanted to break it up, we have
many other methods we could use.

We wouldn't do it
in such a roundabout way!

There's been this latest spate of fighting.

It started as a fight
among some young punks.

We must never again see it
leading to people like Iwaki falling victim.

For instance,

we can agree never to target anyone
above the rank of syndicate boss.

Not to target above syndicate boss?
That's what you said, right?

That's right. That's the idea
behind the Fellowship.

What you'd call
a gentlemen's agreement.

The junior members make mistakes
that can't be stopped.

But we don't need to spill blood
in vain, do we?

The head of our syndicate
took the trouble to come here.

This shows you our sincerity.

We understand that.

It's not a discretionary decision
for us to make now,

but we will respond to you
before very long, right?

- Let's meet again at Amakusa Beach.
- Yes.

Well, let's drink to that.

You're tickling me!

Hurry, it's cold.

What the fuck?

Excuse me, but there's a phone call
from Osaka for Mr. Yonemoto.

- For me?
- Yes. Please come this way.

It's probably his wife
telling him not to sleep around.

It's Yonemoto here.

Oh, it's you.

What about Hatsue?
Just say it clearly.

What?

Who did it? Who was it?

And what were you doing, you bastard?

Right.

I'll be waiting.

What was that? What's happened?

You bastards...

How dare you try to con me?
I'm going to kill you!

Yonemoto, what on earth
has happened?

If you don't tell us,
we won't understand.

Yonemoto, what's the meaning of this?

You'd better tell us.

- Shut the fuck up!
- Yonemoto!

Matsuoka, they hid an assassin
in my house.

- An assassin?
- What are you talking about?

My mistress in Toyonaga
has been killed.

What?

They say she died instantly
together with a young man.

- It's got to be that fool Nozaki!
- Who's Nozaki?

Who the hell's Nozaki?

- He's Iwaki's heir.
- Be quiet!

Mr. Yonemoto, I take full responsibility
and will settle this.

It's not something I can ignore.

Matsuoka, there's no point
in forming the Fellowship.

I'm going to Osaka
to fight against these guys.

What are you saying?

- You'll anger the boss.
- I'll handle this myself.

I left my men in Osaka.
Give my regards to the boss.

I want to be by Hatsue's side.
Her spirit must be lonely!

- Out of my way!
- Sir!

There are three dead.

Both Joe and the woman
died on the spot.

Yes. Seems she was having
an affair with the young gangster.

Joe saw them together
and confused him for Yonemoto.

I see.
You stay there in Osaka.

Don't leave your room
until I contact you.

Go to the bank when they open
and withdraw all the money.

Make sure we can pay
all salaries and pensions.

There'll probably be
a lot of confusion tomorrow,

but just keep working as normal.

Pretend you know absolutely nothing
about what happened in Osaka.

So we urgently need to reach
some kind of conclusion.

I'll have to consult my brothers
for their opinion.

Our gang didn't lose anyone,
so we don't mind striking a deal.

But how do we keep the Iwaki under control?

That's where it gets difficult.

It's settled.

We'll accept Matsuoka's proposal.

That's the agreement not to touch anyone
above the rank of syndicate boss?

Considering the circumstances, we feel
that reconciliation is in our best interest.

This is not just for the Genryu Group.

It's the consensus
among the seven gangs.

Nozaki, you probably have
an objection,

but can you let bygones be bygones?

Are you saying
I shouldn't seek revenge?

That's right.

But we can make arrangements
for your accession in no time.

And we should have a proper
memorial service for Iwaki soon.

Your rudeness won't please my boss.

You don't understand,
the situation has changed.

Isn't it just you who've changed?

What did you say? Don't speak
of things you don't understand!

Are you that afraid of Sakamoto?

If I'd known that it would come to this,

I'd have gone for Sakamoto
and not Yonemoto.

- Nozaki!
- Chairman...

Are you saying you won't fight
with Osaka under any circumstances?

How dare you, after your idiotic attempt
on Yonemoto?

- I didn't ask for your opinion.
- What?

Nozaki, there's no point
shedding more unnecessary blood.

"Unnecessary"? Are you saying
my boss's blood was shed in vain?

You still have a future ahead of you.

There's no point in wasting your life
because of stupid stubbornness.

What I do with my life
is my business.

- Boss, Nozaki's on the phone.
- What?

- It's me!
- Chairman, it's Nozaki here.

I'm just about
to send Sakamoto to hell.

What did you say?

My boss can't rest in peace
if you say his blood was spilled in vain.

So I thought I'd take
Sakamoto's life in exchange.

Nozaki!
Are you out of your mind?

I'll take out Sakamoto
to start things off.

So why don't you gather your guns
and prepare for war?

Nozaki, wait!
Let's talk it over again.

If you were real yakuza,
you'd act like men and not politicians.

If all of Kyushu comes together,
we can't lose to that bastard Sakamoto.

Nozaki, wait! Hold on!

Let's go!

Hey! Stop! Pull over here!

Stop here. Stop!

Brother!

Reverse! Reverse!

Now we'll sandwich them!

Get in the other truck!

Pull alongside Sakamoto
and we'll push him over into hell!

Brother! You tricked me!

SAKAMOTO GROUP

It was Nozaki from the Iwaki gang
who did it.

He can be very impulsive.

We've warned him several times, but...

I apologize profoundly.

Mr. Matsuoka,
I'd like to see Mr. Sakamoto.

Unfortunately, he has a cold.

He must be angry.

Yonemoto has been expelled.

Expelled?

After the uproar he caused,
he had to be.

Otherwise the cops would've turned up
with an arrest warrant for the boss.

The incident with Boss Iwaki
in Wakamatsu...

...and the murder of the transvestite
in Amagasaki

were both carried out on my orders.

The boss and other gang members
had nothing to do with it.

You're saying that Yonemoto took
responsibility for everything?

This trip to Kyushu has cost
the Sakamoto gang dearly.

Mr. Matsuoka, when it comes
to the Western Japan Fellowship,

we will leave it entirely in your hands.

As for Nozaki, I will put my own neck
on the line to deal with him.

Please convey our best wishes
to Mr. Sakamoto.

- Welcome back, sir.
- What's the situation?

We're conducting a thorough search
centered around Nichinan.

We have intelligence
from people interested in the reward,

but not a clear picture yet.

You're sure he's hiding in Osaka?

That's police intelligence,
so it's reliable.

As long as he's alive,
Nozaki will go after Sakamoto.

But he can't get near Sakamoto
in Osaka.

If he as much as points a gun at him,
we'll be unable to move.

- Matsuoka will have the upper hand.
- That's true.

It's a crucial time.

Chairman, how about also
getting support from Kawahara?

Nemoto, call in more help from Kyushu.
Money's not an issue.

- Brother...
- What?

When do you think
the boss is going to do it?

If Sakamoto doesn't come out,
he can't do anything.

Once Sakamoto's killed, do you think
we can go home to Kyushu?

Oh, shut up!
Go and buy some food.

- Are you scared to go?
- No!

If we kill Sakamoto, we'll be
the top gangsters not only in Kyushu,

but in the whole of Japan.

You're right.

BROTHER, GET IN TOUCH. ASAMI

There, there.

Can you take Kiyomi with you?

Yes, they'll look after her at the bar.

Alright... I'll answer it.

Brother, it's me.

So you're in Osaka after all.
I'd like to meet up.

Asami's ill.

The place is on the north side
of Juso Station.

Fancy meeting you here.

Bastard!

If you're after heroin,
I'll let you have some cheap.

I'll get you this time.
You made a fool of me in Kyushu!

You're with Nozaki!
Tell me where he is.

Tell me where he is!

Wait! Hold on!

Get back here!

Oh, thanks, buddy!

Boss?

This punk wants to know
where you're hiding.

Who sent you?

Was it the Genryu Group?
Was it Sakamoto?

Nobody sent me!

I just felt nostalgic
when I saw my old friend!

Kill him!

Enough.

We'd better kill him.

Lock him in the cupboard.
We have to get out of here soon.

You're lucky your life was spared.

Please wait. Please wait!

Forgive me, boss. Please!

Let me join you.

Sakamoto owes me.

Let me join you.
I'll never betray you.

I'm begging you, forgive me.
Come on.

Listen, brother, listen to me!

Brother, listen to what I have to say!

Don't you want 5 million?
5 million!

The Genryu Group will pay 5 million
for Nozaki's whereabouts.

They'll pay a 5 million yen reward.

Let's share it together.
I'll take half... Even just a million.

Ouch!

It's rare to find anyone
as stupid as you.

If you hadn't talked all that crap
about joining up with us,

then we might've spared your life.

Have mercy on me!

Gimme a hand?

It's done.

Where's Shinkichi gone?

He's reached his limit.

Whatever you say,
he's still a kid.

He really thought
he was going home to Kyushu.

Why not just let him go home?

How about you?

There's no way I could go back.

I thought there'd be a hundred-to-one
chance we could return.

If we get Sakamoto, it'll turn things
upside down all over Japan.

Nobody can tell what might happen.

Well, that's true.

When I was 12 years old,

my mom and dad went missing
in a mining accident.

They brought out one corpse
after another.

But after three days, the bodies
of my parents hadn't been found.

They all gave up on them
and flushed the shafts with water.

But I carried Asami,

and went down on my own
with a pickaxe.

But I never found our parents.

I'm a man who finds it hard
to let things go.

Sorry, someone's here to see you.

- A visitor?
- Yeah.

- Mr. Nemoto!
- Hold on.

Wait a minute!

If I tell you where my boss is,
will you give me five million?

What?

- So this is it?
- Yes.

What? It's just you, Tokichi.

Well done, you found the place.

Tokichi! Tokichi?

I understand. It's from her.

So you really do have a grudge
against my brother.

What are you saying?

What's this?

BROTHER, GET IN TOUCH. ASAMI

You can do as you please.

What's that supposed to mean?

That you don't have to feel
any moral obligation to me.

You wanted to be alone, didn't you?

What nonsense!
When have I ever complained to you?

What I want is for you to forget
everything that's happened.

You don't get it,
no matter how many times I tell you.

For men, some things can be forgotten,
but others must never be forgotten.

All I've ever done
is cause you trouble.

There were times
when I sent you to work as a geisha.

But if Yonemoto hadn't helped me then,
I'd have been dead a long time ago.

Kiyomi wouldn't have been born.

You may love your boss,
but I love my brother!

If you kill my brother,
I don't want to go on living!

There were all those rumors...

...about the Nozaki siblings...

...being lovers.

And you really believe that?

Yes?

Brother!

Thanks for coming. Come in.

She's cute.

She'll be beautiful.

Do you think so?

Kiyomi, you're lucky
to have been born a girl.

Come inside, brother.

No, I don't have any time to waste.

Nakamichi, how about this?

Why don't the three of us go home
to Wakamatsu?

I know you didn't ask for it,
but I brought you some money.

Now, you'll listen to me!

- Darling, no!
- Move!

Out of my way!

Brother, sorry you came all this way
and we can't talk.

Don't worry about me. Just go.

Nakamichi, take care of your health.

- Stop it! Please stop it!
- Out of my way!

- Stop it!
- Let go of me!

Darling! Darling!

Brother!

Brother!

Understand this. I have my pride.

Darling!

Kiyomi!

Darling!

Asami!

Darling!

Aren't you cold?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry I couldn't do anything.

If this hadn't happened,

he'd never have been able
to return home.

But more than that,
what are you going to do now, brother?

You don't intend to return
to Wakamatsu now, do you?

Do you, brother?

Go to sleep now.
We have to get up early tomorrow.

Hey!

Please.

When we were kids,
we always slept in each other's arms.

Since I came to Osaka,
I've been dreaming about those days.

I'm asking you, just for tonight,
let's go back to how it used to be.

SAKAMOTO GROUP
PUSHES FOR MEETING IN SHIKOKU?

SAKAMOTO GROUP

- Gently, gently.
- Stretch his legs out.

Brother...

- You can speak for five minutes.
- Thank you.

How are you?

It's not so bad.

- I'll be transferred to prison tomorrow.
- Will you?

They're still there.

If we're not careful,
some idiot might try to get in.

- How's Sakamoto?
- Still stuck in the airport hotel.

They say he needs complete rest.

But that's the excuse they always use,
so I don't really know.

You ought to eat something.

What'll happen to the boss?

I asked a detective I know, and he said
he might get a life sentence.

A life sentence?

But I think there's a chance to act now.

Once he's out of the hospital,
we won't be able to do anything.

I want to help my brother escape.

I don't want to see him
locked up by the police.

Shinkichi, you'll help me, won't you?

Shinkichi...

Come over here.

Do it now.

Close the door.

Shinkichi, come.

Get a grip.
Aren't you a man?

If you're a man, act like one.

Miss!

Miss!

Hurry up!

Where did you leave Kiyomi?

She's coming with Shinkichi,
so when they're here...

Don't move!
I'll kill anybody who does!

Shinkichi, come with me!

Move!

Do you think you can escape like this?

Stop! Pull over!

Shinkichi!
Head to the airport hotel!

Stop! Please stop!

Stop the car!

Nozaki, the boss is finished now.

He can't be saved.

Why would you want to shoot
someone like that?

Please, let him die in peace.

I'm begging you!

Nozaki!

If you're so angry
about a boss getting killed,

then come for payback any time.
I'll be waiting.

- What?
- What did he say?

Did you see it? Did you see it?

Did you see it? I did it!

I did it! Did you see it?

Well done! Well done!

I did it!

Nozaki! Are you alright?

Move aside! Back away!

THE END
