All language subtitles for The Way of a Yakuza Lady - RAW [1080p][ATTKC][32FA3891]

Toei Company Ltd.,
Presents

Do what you have to do.

I'll leave it up to you.

You have to keep your
spirits up. All right?

The doctor will be up to
see him later.

Thank you.

I'm glad the operation went well.

Why don't you rest?
We'll sit with him.

Yes, thank you.

When he collapsed
I thought it was all over.

He's really lucky.

They're even on the balcony.

One more shot. We've been
waiting for ten hours.

You all say our boss is a yakuza
but he's done more than anyone

to keep the peace and fight drugs...

He's a lot better than all those
fat cat politicians.

There she is.

Let's go.

Get out of the way.

My condolences.

How did the operation go?

Please give him my blood.

Thank you. It went better
than we hoped.

He doesn't need blood
transfusions anymore.

Go back and tell everyone
he's all right.

Will you give us a comment?

How do you feel as the wife of
Japan's biggest yakuza organization?

Just like any ordinary
housewife would.

It's harder because we have
15 thousand mouths to feed.

That's enough.

Ma'am.

With the boss in the hospital,
we understand the police are

going all out to disband
the Sakanishi group.

Mrs. Sakanishi... She's so cool.

That must come from
being an actress.

She's just an expensive
trophy wife.

Excuse me.

Sugiko, order lunch for me.
I'll be right back.

You have a customer.

Ma'am.

It's been a long time.

You said it was a small shop,
but it's not bad.

When did you get out?

You should have let me know.

Sugiko Don't just stand there.

Pay your respect to
the boss's wife.

Hello.

Married?

It's not like that.

I'm his wife, Sugiko.

Did you go by the office?

There's a supermarket
in its place.

Everyone's gone now.

Is he here?

I want to see him.

Boss!

Your wife's here.

Quiet!

It's your wife.

Hey... I was so close...

I said, it's your wife.

I got out of prison on January 6th.

They let me go six months
early for good behavior.

I'm sorry to have caused
you trouble.

I'll make up for it eventually,
so please sign these divorce papers.

Go ahead, keep going.
You're so good.

Why won't you divorce me?

I had the lawyer contact
you many times.

Keep going, honey.
I'm almost there.

Then we'll meet in court.

Wait.

Don't you get it?

You're the one that ruined me.

You keep out of this.

I'm a laughing stock... married to
a woman who shot me in the groin.

If you want a divorce, go be a whore
and bring me $100,000.

You'll catch a cold.

I'll kill you.

Wait.

Hey, you, go sell her to
a brothel somewhere.

She's not human.
She has no feelings.

What time is it?

He called from Itami airport at
three, so he'll be here soon.

One of our young members is
coming home.

Itami... is he returning
from abroad?

You can say that.

A trip common to those in our profession...
courtesy of the government.

He's a rival of mine.

He's in love with her.

He thinks of me as his mother...
since he grew up in our house.

He's special to you, too, isn't he
since you don't have kids?

I suppose so.

Excuse me. He's here.

I'll come see you tomorrow.

Boss, Akamatsu has returned.

I'm home. I'm sorry to have
been gone for so long.

Ma'am...

It's good to have you back.

You look well. I'm so glad.

Take a couple of days to get
used to things again.

Then we'll celebrate
your homecoming.

Kobe and Osaka have changed
in me last eight years.

Don't get in trouble.

This way.

This place is really posh.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

You haven't changed.

Hey, Akamatsu.

Good of you to come.
Are you well rested?

Yes... and thanks
for the other day.

Oh, do you remember Kiso?

He's now the boss of
the Joshinkai group.

I'm Kiso.

Hey, let's toast Akamatsu's
return to society.

What do you think of this office?

I'm the first and only yakuza to have an
office in the middle of the business district.

Real estate takes time, but
stock prices rise in seconds.

With capital and information
you can make a killing.

Kiso is my right hand man.

Why don't you join my group, too?

Gambling and loansharking
are old hat.

Times have changed.

I'll loan you the money.

There's a small but nice office
nearby you can rent.

What's all this? I killed the first
Joshinkai boss.

He was your boss.

That's water under the bridge.

Kiso says he wants to be blood
brothers with you.

The war between the Sakanishi and
Joshin groups had nothing to do with me.

I want to live and prosper
with society.

That's the current philosophy
of Joshinkai.

All right, all right.

Could you all leave? I want to
talk to the boss alone.

Boss... You're serious about this
blood brother thing?

Of course.

Seventeen of our men were
killed in that war.

Many are still in prison.

Both sides suffered casualties.

Boss Sakanishi ordered an end
to the hostilities so we can

safely walk the streets.

Do you still hold a grudge and
mean to cause trouble?

I won't if I'm not provoked.

But there are 20,000 men
in both groups.

I can't vouch for how
they all feel.

I killed Kiso's boss.
He must hate me

Becoming blood brothers...
that's a very serious matter.

You're so naive.

Becoming blood brothers
is a contractual thing.

Just think of it as a deal
to your advantage.

You're too old fashioned.

Boss. Why don't you disband
the Terada group?

You can retire to a carefree life.

What's that supposed to mean?

You talk of contracts and deals...
you're no different from a loan shark.

You jerk!

Keep out of this!

Hey, Akamatsu.
Try to understand.

With the boss in the hospital,
the Sakanishi group is vulnerable.

At the next annual board meeting,
I was going to recommend you

take over the helms so you and I
can see the group through this crisis.

I know just how vulnerable we are.

That's why I'm saying this.
Boss, I think you're all wrong.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Let me through.

Boss. He hasn't changed.

What are you going to do?

I'm sorry, Kiso.

Tell me the truth. Do you
want Akamatsu dead?

Of course not.

Hmmm... is that how it is?

That girl's stacked...
Does she work here?

She's new.

She answered our ad, and wanted
to work right away.

She's a real looker.

She's the best looking
girl in this club.

Call her over.

No. We have to be fair to
our other customers.

Spoken like a true
owner, Ma'am.

Unfortunately, the chief
stockholder is nasty.

We may be married but
business is business.

Hear that? Pour me
a drink, will you?

Are they regulars?

I'm new here.

What do you do?

What do you think?

A stockbroker.

You couldn't afford to
come here otherwise.

Don't you think Ma'am is
acting funny?

She must be tired.

She's gone to many temples
to pray for his recovery.

Is that true?

Maybe the boss is really ill.

Oh good, good.

You've been at it for over an hour.

I'm fine. You're good at this.

Her mother works,
so she's mostly alone.

Akamatsu hasn't stopped
by today,

He must be busy,
meeting everyone.

You know... Terada said...

Yes?

He said Akamatsu is getting
too big for his britches.

We can't have trouble.

How about marrying him off?

You know, Tetsu...

Sakanishi only has about
a year to live.

I thought he was getting better.

It's too far advanced.
They just closed him up again.

Why don't we change hospitals?

If we do, everyone will know.

We've known Dr. Ihara forever.

Besides, he's the best heart
specialist in Japan.

Isn't there any way we
can save him?

Tetsu... you have to be strong.

I couldn't keep it a secret.
That's why I told you.

Oh, hi.

I need to relax.

She's my best friend
from our showgirl days.

We used to do this.
Can you believe it?

Stop it, you're embarrassing me.

Welcome. I'll take that.

Misato, this is Akamatsu
Tetsuro, as promised.

I'm so glad. Hi, I'm Misato.

This way, please.

Sit down, Tetsu.

Misato's a strange one.

She's interested in the yakuza.

I'm a great fan of yours,
Auntie Hazuki.

Despite opposition from all, you
chose this way of life yet you

always manage to be so beautiful.

You've become rather
imposing, too.

Hey, bad joke.

Did you know that Mr. Sakanishi went
to her show every day for two months?

I'm glad he's better, Hazuki.

He's going home soon, isn't he?

Welcome. Excuse me.

Isn't she nice?

She's cheerful but very
level-headed.

If you're to get ahead, you must
have a family.

We never had children.
That's our one regret.

Oh, and Tetsu, you've got to
be civil to Terada.

He and Sakanishi go way back
and they're blood brothers.

I understand. I'm sorry to
have worried you.

That's all I have to say.

Stay and enjoy yourself.

I'll take you home.

No, don't bother. Misato, take
good care of him.

Going so soon?

You'd never guess, but Sakanishi
is the jealous type.

Here you go.

Hazuki... what are you planning
for my daughter?

The same fate as yours?

Would you hate me if
that happened?

Of course.

You've changed. Scary, even.

Bye now.

Mr. Akamatsu.

Thank you.

Welcome back

Welcome back, Ma'am.

Is the boss asleep?

No... he's still up.

Excuse me.

She fell asleep playing.

Did you play with her
till she fell asleep?

You really should rest.

I'll take her without waking her up.

Ma'am, I'll do it.

It's all right. Just take that.

Hazuki.

This is the first time I've seen
you carrying a child.

I'll be back soon.

I'll make the bed.

That's good.

Akamatsu.

Sorry to interrupt. But I thought
I'd catch you here.

What do you want?

Have a seat.

Hey, make him a drink.

Boss, I'm sorry.

I was rude, the other day.

Oh, that.

But what gives?
This isn't like you.

I thought it over real good.
I'm very sorry.

What? Hey, stop.

You can take half.

Give the rest to Kiyomi
at Scandal. She's my sister.

Why me?

Please. There's no one else.

I'll do whatever you say,
as if you were my boss.

Is that so? Now that you've
come around, I won't make

life difficult for you.

We don't need to rush things with Kiso.

Telephone, sir.

It's me. What? What?
The boss is dead?

All right. I'll be right there.

That was Ma'am.

The boss died suddenly
an hour ago.

Akamatsu.
I'm avenging my boss.

Ouch.

Don't. You'll make it bleed more.

Is it serious?

Nothing serious.

Is everyone all right?

Are you all right boss?

You planned this. You came to
take me off my guard.

No. He was after me.

Boss.

You're talking nonsense.

I have to go to him.
He must be lonely.

Wait a minute.

Ma'am? What happened?

Why did he go so suddenly?

Open your eyes. Boss.
Open your eyes.

Since Urushibata's organizing the
funeral, the next boss must be Terada.

No, Ma'am is backing Akamatsu.

He's the most active
the Sakanishi group.

There's going to be trouble.

With the sudden passing
of the boss, I am honored

that Ma'am has asked me
to be acting boss.

The Sakanishi group has never
been this vulnerable.

The police have declared that they
will do their best to disband

the group now that
the boss is gone.

The board must unite to
keep our group going.

I ask you to help us
through this crisis.

First new business is the matter
of new members.

Joshinkai's Kiso and Yajinto's
Nonomura, are both sponsored by Terada.

I don't think I need to go
into their histories.

Any objection to their joining the board?

No objection.

Wait a minute.

Yes, Awa?

Only members of Sakanishi's group
or affiliated groups are eligible

for board membership.

These two don't qualify.

They're both affiliated
with Terada.

That makes them indirectly
affiliated and since the leadership

has changed, I see no problem.

No, it hasn't.

Let me explain.

I sponsored Kiso because
of his business acumen.

We need people like him
in our organization.

Nonomura is our liaison to
the groups in the Kanto.

He's also affiliated with Doshukai.

Both men are aligned with you.

What?

Awa, can't you obey
the acting boss?

I'm just stating my opinion.
Are you all satisfied?

No, I'm opposed.

Let's move this along.

Call for a vote.

Akamatsu, say something.

You must have something to say.

Chairman, let's put this to a vote.

I call for a vote.

Those in favor, raise your hands.

The vote carries by a majority.

Thank you.

The funeral cost $800,000 and we
received $7.3 million in offerings.

It was a group funeral so
the balance will go into

the group's treasury.

What about his estate?

The accountant is handling
the paperwork.

I see. This is awkward, but
this house belongs to the group.

So, we're offering you a condo,
a lump sum bonus and

a monthly stipend
of $20,000 for ten years.

All right. I'll accept my husband's
bonus but I'll find my own place to live.

You can divide the $20,000
among his mistresses.

I hear there are five of them,
some with children.

I didn't know you knew, Ma'am.

I am staying here until after
his 49 day observance.

That's fine.

Did the boss say anything
before he died?

No...

It was so sudden.

Then the board will choose the new
boss and you'll approve the choice.

That's fine.

But that should also be
after the 49 day observance.

I understand.

Hotel living is not so bad.

What's wrong?
You looked stunned.

This was his favorite wine.
Do you want some?

No.

Oh, have some.

Just for today, I want to be gay,
drink some wine...

I feel like a bird or butterfly...
feel so good.

Sorry.

Are you all right?

I'm so sorry you had to
go through all that.

I'll go talk to Terada's rep.

Your husband built that house...

I don't care. I'm really relieved.

It's as though 20 years
of worry has disappeared.

Ma'am. You must be tired.

Why don't you go on
a trip abroad? I'll go with you.

Really?

People will talk.

You and your husband
brought me up.

I don't care what anyone says.

I'm prepared to leave
the business anytime.

Maybe we should go.

I think that's better.

No one will know about me.
I can live a normal life.

Tetsu? Will you make love to me?

Right here. Right now.

I won't be able to ask you tomorrow.

I can say what I feel right now.

Don't you like me? I like you.

What's the matter?
I'm a woman, after all.

Tetsu. You're a man, aren't you?

Tetsu... you're all that I have left.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Can you give me a few days?

I'll fix everything.

Tetsu, it's all right.

Now that I know how you feel,
I don't feel lonely anymore.

Ma'am, are you making
fun of me?

Think what you will.
Sakanishi loved Osaka.

He said Osaka has
the will to survive.

That's why it eats up everything
good or bad.

Sakanishi was like that.

You're the only one who
can inherit his spirit.

You're willing to throw
all that way for me?

Why not? You're always
thinking of yourself.

There's no turning back now.

No, Tetsu. You mustn't. Tetsu...

It has to remain a dream.

Ma'am, there's a safe deposit
key inside this envelop.

The box contains
Mr. Sakanishi's will.

Will?

He called me right after
he went into the hospital.

He gave one this and asked
me to keep it for you.

He was concerned about
you most of all.

He once told me it was
as if he had taken a hothouse

flower and replanted it
in a wasteland.

He thought maybe
you resented him.

He said... that?

What are you going to
do about the will?

It probably mentions
his wish for a successor.

Why would he leave
this to me?

You inherit the spirit of
your late husband.

You have to make sure
his last wishes are honored.

Ma'am?

Could you keep this
a while longer?

Of course, but why don't
you take a look?

No, it's better I know nothing...

Until the time comes...

Take your clothes off.
I'll wash your body.

You're Kiyomi?

I'm a messenger
from your brother.

He's waiting for you.

Sit down.

Where's my brother?

Is this your brother's?

Where is he?

He's wanted by the police.

Come home with me.
I'll talk to your boss.

Don't worry. The Sakanishi
boss is a friend of mine.

What do you want?

Terada's throwing money
around to get enough votes.

Campaigning for votes?

Yes. We don't have enough
votes to win.

If we want this,
now's our only chance.

We get Ma'am behind us,
sever ties with Terada, and take

control of the Sakanishi
group by force.

Why do we have to go
through all this trouble?

We want you to be the new boss.

Are you serious?

Make up your mind.

If Terada becomes boss, those
who followed you will be iced out.

It's not just the money.

Hiring Kiso proves he has deep
ties to the Kanto groups.

That fool only thinks of the Sakanishi
title as a means of making money.

Enough.

Brother!

If everyone's happy
with Terada, so be it.

It is life and death question for us.

I'm perfectly willing to kill him.

Even if I get ten years,
it'll be worth it if I become boss.

What is it?

You have a guest... a young lady.

Bring her through. She's my date.

We're not finished.

Yes, we are. Please sit down.

Goodbye.

We'll come by again.

Tell him to think it over, real good.

Who are you?

Name's Nogata. At the club,

I was with the guy
who shot at you.

I gather he hasn't been caught?

I know who he really is.

Who do you want?

A loan of $100,000.

It's alimony for my husband.

He was a boss of a group but
while he was losing influence

to Sakanishi, he kept playing around,
so I got mad and ambushed him.

The shot got deflected by a bone
in his leg and gazed his groin.

I got 2 and half years for that but
my husband won't give me a divorce.

What do you think?

Yes?

I've brought some refreshments.

Please help yourself.

Have fun.

My, my. What hospitality.

We have so few women
visitors. Please.

I won't go a cent lower.

What? You mean that shooter
is from Joshinkai?

His name's Matsue Katsumi,
from Joshinkai.

I got it from his woman.

Where is he... this Matsue.

The police will find him.

I want you to expel Kiso
from the board.

You suspect him?

If this gets out, they'll be trouble...
especially from my group.

All right. I'll discuss this
with Kojima.

I want Nonomura out, too.

Let's take the board back
to square one.

By the way, I want you to be
fair with assignments.

Meaning you want to be
the young boss?

No. Awa should be
the young boss.

Awa?

The younger members trust him.

Akamatsu, what do you want?
Spell it out.

Nothing. I just want you to sleep
safely in your bed.

That's all.

We have with us today, Doshukai's
Urushibata, Ikezono of Ikezonokai

and Honbashi from Kyoto,
here at Ma'am's reception.

As acting head of the Sakanishi group,
I am honored by their presence.

Ma'am, please accept the service
bonus and a token from the group.

Thank you. Thank you for
coming, everyone.

What are you going to do?

You must come to me
if you need help.

I'm going home to Seto Island.

To Sakanishi's home?

The house is still standing empty.

I see.

Don't you have family?

My parents died when I was young.

That's sad.

We'll stop by to see you
from time to time.

Hey, we can build a health
complex there if you like.

Hey, hey, this isn't the time.

Oops excuse me.

Let's toast. Ma'am's continued
beauty and health.

Thank you.

Here we go. Look this way.

That's it.

I'd like a picture with
you alone.

Akamatsu, could you take
our picture?

Where's a good spot.

Come, boss. Come closer.

Your late husband will
be jealous.

Do you think she'll be happy
on a small island?

She's still young
and beautiful...

We should watch her
and Akamatsu.

Not possible.

No, I'm not talking
about that.

Chairman.

You remembered.

What were you saying?

Do you think Ma'am will
back Akamatsu?

Sentimentally, yes. But she
knows it's just not done.

Is Kiso here?

He's waiting in the lobby.

Bring him here.

I'll be going to the island at
the beginning of the month.

I'll go with you.

Forget about that night.

No. You were drunk, but
I was dead serious.

Well, the party was
a success.

I can't believe everyone
came just for me.

It just shows the respect
your husband had.

When the family head us great,
invariable the children squabble

for succession but are you
happy with Terada's succession?

Yes.

That club incident...
Your story doesn't check out.

He's just a drug addict.

He went to Joshinkai's office
in Shizuoka said he had

avenged the former boss
and asked for money.

Hey, Kiso, what happened
to that drug addict?

You mean the man who
shot at Akamatsu?

Our people told him to go
to the police but he fled.

That's the truth
of the matter.

You win.

What a sorry guy... to get killed by
his own people for doing their bidding.

Serves him right for giving
off his sister.

Are you looking after her?

She's a nice kid. Very naive
for someone in that business.

Thanks.

Kiyomi, is it? Don't you want
to avenge your brother?

There's some sushi in
the fridge. Have some.

I think I'll go to
the bathhouse.

Could you buy some milk?

How could you?

We're responsible for
her brother's death.

Why did you come to
me with this?

You'd have made more
money off Terada.

He's not my type.
Now you, I like.

Here's your money.

Are you sure?

It's a promise.

Thank you.

How about investing
that money?

Invest?

That club is up for sale.

It's $500,000.
Cheap, huh?

But it's Terada's property.

Right.

Are you looking for a fight?

I'll call you later.

I have a question. Is it true
you're cold to women

because you're in love
with Mrs. Sakanishi?

Don't be stupid.

When I was in prison, I
swore that the first man

I'd sleep with when I got
out would be first rate.

This is strictly personal.

Won't you? I won't ask
you to marry me.

We'll save the best for last.

How dare you. And you
call yourself a man?

You impotent fool.

What're you gonna do
with all this junk?

That's right. This ain't an
archaeological dig.

I'll arrest you
for interference.

That's a piranha.
It'll bite your hand off.

We found it.

Did the piranhas
make these guns?

Awa, I'm arresting you
for possession of forearms.

There fish coast
$100 a piece.

What're you gonna
do about it?

They did us, too. They had
a bogus search warrant but

they were looking for guns.

I hear Terada's
the informant.

Awa really was going
to kill Terada.

Are you going to remain
silent after this?

Where is the old you?

You're the only one we
can rely on.

This is so big. I like it.

So this is where it happened.

Hey, there's blood.

We'll have to redecorate
the entire place.

How much did you
say you wanted?

$500,000 although
it's worth $700,000.

Fine I'll leave you
a $100,000 deposit.

You?

It's a bank check.

I'll pay the rest when
we sign the contract.

Fine. Let's go to the office.

This way.

Here we are.

I feel great. Like we're big
real estate developers.

We had to redo
the entire thing.

I tried to save but it cost
$300,000.

It was so expensive.

Hey, I read about you
in a magazine.

It says you've got a good
chance of being the next

boss of the Sakanishi group.

If that happens, you can
get as much money as you want.

Hey, are you listening?

Don't worry about
the money.

I'll make sure we get
a lot of customers.

I'll do my best to make
money and help you...

as though I were your wife.

Oh, great. I made it.

I hear you're leaving
right after the party.

If I dally, I'll never leave.

So I thought I'd wait for
my things to arrive there.

Did you want to talk to me?

It's about the voting
for the succession.

I want to get on it
right away.

As you know, things are
dicey within the group.

We need to have a new
leader, whoever that is,

or thing will remain unsettled.

Are candidates standing
for the office?

No, we'll let the
board decide.

Then you're a shoot-in.

You can never tell
with elections.

I hope it's
a unanimous decision.

If not, people might
harbor grudges.

Well, that's true.

Tell me the truth. You want
to see Akamatsu elected.

He told me he was quitting
the yakuza business.

Is that true?

Sakanishi's death must
have really affected him.

That's not possible.

Akamatsu is a yakuza
through and through.

After going to prison for almost ten
years, he knows he's owned his due.

Do you think so, too?

Yes, he's a strategist,
that one.

In any case, I don't want
the succession to be messy.

I'm sure my husband would
feel the same way.

I can't promise it will
be unanimous.

I can talk to Akamatsu,
if you like.

Oh, really, Ma'am?

But I want the election to
be after Sakanishi's buried.

I won't have any
obligations, then.

All right. I won't see you
off, but travel safe.

Thank you.

It's going to be so lonely
without you.

Stop, Yoshimi.
You said you won't cry.

But when I saw
her face, I...

You'll come and visit
often, won't you?

Yes, do. Otherwise, I don't
know what my husband will get up to.

What's an affair or two?

The late boss had many
mistresses, right?

You didn't mind?

Even now, she's sending them
money, taking care of them.

If you're a yakuza's wife,
an affair should be the

least of your problems.

It's better than a funeral.

Misato, the bottle's empty.

All right.

Hazuki, why don't you sing?

Don't joke.

I want to hear.

A record company wanted
to put her under contract.

I'll sing, then.

Don't go overboard.

Misato are you
seeing Akamatsu?

He says he's busy.

He's good looking,
isn't he?

Yes, I like him.

But he only has eyes for you.

She's smart.
I'm relieved.

It's Mrs. Awa.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Sit here.

I'm surprised
you could come.

Unlike you, I'm used to my
husband going to prison.

It's probably not serious,
but keep your chin up.

Tomomi, drink up.

What now?

You, too.

To your health.

Delicious. I want another.

Hey, don't overdo it.

Oh by the way, did you hear?
About the club.

Who cares.
It's bad luck anyway.

It's reopening tonight.

The proprietor is
Akamatsu's girlfriend.

What? Is that true?

I hear she's a knockout.

Is Akamatsu her
financial backer?

He must be.

Let's go over there.

It'll be fun.

Won't you all come?

Let's go.

What's that mean?

It means a tattoo of roses.

Thanks to you, we topped our
projected take for our first night.

You, too, Kiyomi.

Thank you.

Prepare to close.

I'm sorry. We're closed.

We're here to celebrate
the opening.

What a gaudy club.

Who are you?

Are you the proprietor?

Yes, that's right.

I'm Sakanishi Hazuki.

What do you want?

I heard this was our Akamatsu's
club, so I came to take a look.

It's such a gaudy place.

I must tell Akamatsu not
to waste his money.

I'm the owner. It's got
nothing to do with him.

You sound as though
you know him well.

What do you want?

How much?
I'll buy this club.

I can't have Akamatsu
taking a loss.

If I refuse?

Do you think Akamatsu
will defy me?

Why don't you come out
and say you're jealous?

I bet you're in
love with him, too.

Listen good. Our love is
a question of life and death.

If you're a yakuza's woman,
you should be prepared

for the consequences.

Ma'am, what would it take
for me to keep this club?

This club is more important
than life itself.

Please. I beg you.

Please let me continue
this club.

Get up. I'll send my rep
over tomorrow.

You can name your
own price. Let's go.

Get out of the way.
What are you looking at?

Hey, don't do that.

You punk...

I'll take you on.

Make sure she sends
me the bill.

I hear Terada won
the voting.

How many votes
did you get?

It was 19 to 5.
I bombed.

So it wasn't unanimous.

Tetsu, you came to say
goodbye to me, didn't you?

Ma'am, I'll never show
my face again.

You're not getting
hitched with her?

That woman from the Rose
Tattoo... are you?

She's officially divorced.

Do you love her?

She's just my speed.

She's quite a gal.
Pretty and gutsy.

But I don't like her.

She's not suited to be
a Sakanishi boss's wife.

$2 million, $3 million...
I didn't count.

That's all I have.

You can have it.

I can't take it. I can make
money on my own.

You're going to fight
Terada, aren't you?

Don't you think I know
what you're thinking?

If you're going to be a yakuza,
you have to aim for the top.

It's me.

It'll be a while yet.

Don't botch it.

Oh, Mr. Akamatsu.

What are you doing here?

Where is she?

Playing golf with a customer.

It's Sunday and the club's
closed so she'll be out late.

The club's really busy.

She's such a go-getter.
Excuse me.

I'll make you some tea.

No. Don't, Mr. Akamatsu.

Stop. Please stop.

Please stop.

No.

Stop. No... she'll be
mad with me.

She'll be....

Please...

Are you ready?

Go back.

Get out of the way.

Clear the way. Back up.

You back up. You're
close to the intersection.

Hey, stop it.

Oh, Toki...

What? Kiso was shot?

Okay. Don't panic.
I'll send Kojima.

Kiso's dead. It was one
of Akamatsu's assassins.

Kojima, go to the
office at once.

Call Nonomura.

This is war.
Get the weapons out.

Where's the phone?

Nonomura, it's me.

Akamatsu has
declared war on us.

Why? Why me?

I told you I love you.

I'm starving.

Kobayashi and Ueno
of Joshinkai were arrested

and the police also arrested
Akamatsu Tetsuro, Sakanishi

group's executive as the main suspect
in the murder of Joshinkai's chairman.

This is terrible. Mr. Akamatsu
has been arrested.

What should I do?
He'll need a change of clothes.

I'm going to the police station.

I'll go, too.

I'm from the police.
Is Matsue Kiyomi here?

That's me.

I have a few questions.

What is it?

Are you Nogata?
You're a friend or Akamatsu?

We'd like to have
a word with you, too.

I want to know
where you were yesterday.

I was here.

You have to tell the truth.

It's true.

Do you know Akamatsu?

He says he was in bed
with you since noon yesterday.

Kiyomi, is that true?
Were you with him?

Be truthful, now.

Yes.

Kiyomi.
Why didn't you tell me?

Hey, stop that.

Stop that.

From when to when?

Before noon till the evening.

Is that true?

Yes.

You good for nothing.

He was just toying with you.

Why would he be serious
about a whore like you?

You stupid fool.

Go jump off a bridge. Get out.

Get out.

Ma'am.

Thank you so much for coming.

What's this urgent matter?

I hope it isn't about Akamatsu.

We held a board meeting
this morning and we

expelled him
by a majority vote.

Expulsion?

He killed a board member,
so there's no excuse.

But he didn't know
anything about that.

In any case,
it was his responsibility.

It can't be helped if that's
the board's decision

but what if he's
the new boss?

That's not funny.

He no longer has the
right to that position.

I hate to say this but we
found Sakanishi's will.

Ma'am?

A will?

You mean the late
boss's will?

Yes, I had a call from our
lawyer saying he was

in possession
of Sakanishi's will.

I bet it contains his
wish for his successor.

He must have written
it in the hospital.

That's a bunch of bull.

You knew from
the beginning.

You kept quiet because you
wanted Akamatsu to succeed.

If I knew, I'd told you long ago.

I'm just as surprised
as you are.

Lies. You scheming woman.
You're truly frightening.

I told you that widow
was dangerous.

She got me all right.

She must be quite a woman
if Sakanishi fell for her.

What will you do if the
will names Akamatsu?

I'll have no choice but to
break ties with Sakanishi.

I hope you'll back me
when the time comes.

That's my intention.

If this was a while back,
we'd taken care of it a lot quicker.

Akamatsu killed Kiso.
What other excuse do you need?

I didn't think I'd ever
see you again.

You heard about the will?

This changes things.

When you get out,
lie low in Tennoji.

Terada's hopping mad.

I can deal with it.

Tetsu... this is war.
Yours and mine.

Cherry blossoms are
in bloom on the island.

But now I've got to
come live in a hotel.

Take care of yourself.

If you die, I won't bother
to stay alive.

Yes, thanks. You haven't
been here since the opening.

That was a month ago.

Welcome home.
You look well.

The club's doing great.

That's because
I work hard at it.

Kiyomi's disappeared.
I took such care of her,

but I guess you can't
trust her kind.

Don't you know
where she is?

In some rat hole or other.

Will you come home or
would you prefer a hotel?

I won't let you out of
my sight tonight.

We're free to do
as we please.

I'm selling this club.

I'll make sure
you won't starve.

You mean the Rose Tattoo?

You're joking.
It's a bad one, too.

We're through, too.

Wait. Why, all of a sudden?

I'm tired of you.

But you said you'd
marry me.

Engagement's annulled.

I get it. It's her.
Sakanishi's widow.

This is her idea.

I'm in love with Kiyomi.

Kiyomi? That's a joke.

You're not yourself.
That woman's controlling you.

What are you to her?
What? Her slave?

If that's what you
want to think.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

What's wrong?

You... you... you...

Hitoshi.

I want you to kill Akamatsu.

What?

It's a joke. It's a joke.

Ma'am.

You're so drunk.

Why'd you get so drunk?

Akamatsu left me.

He took my club, too.

That can't be right.

It's that woman.
She ruined everything.

I'm not going to take
this sitting down.

Hitoshi, you like me,
don't you?

Of course... but...

Then make me forget
everything.

Oh, Ma'am.

Oh, boss.

It's all right.

Don't worry.

There's no mistake?
You're pregnant?

Although I was in that line of
work, I never once sold myself.

Congratulations.

Ouch.

Kiyomi.

Ouch.

Hey...

Hey there.

Hey you.

Someone, help this woman.

Hey.

You there.

Someone, help this woman.

Help this woman.

Take her to
the hospital, please.

Akamatsu.

Where's our Akamatsu?

Through there.

Akamatsu.
Where's Akamatsu?

Ma'am. Over here, Ma'am.

Wait.

It's Sakanishi's widow.

Ma'am.

Akamatsu!

He said to tell you sorry.

He said the top was too high.

Why? What happened?

I don't know either.

But why?

Who's this woman?

I don't know.

I want an answer.

He was shot when
he was with her.

What?

But even we don't know
who she is.

Tetsu.

You were supposed to lead
the Sakanishi group.

You were supposed to be
the greatest boss in Japan.

Why? Why did you have
to die? You fool.

Tetsu.

What do you have to say?

Tetsu.

What can you say
to me now?

This is the last will
of Sakanishi Takeo.

I authorize my wife Hazuki
to dispose my estate as she sees fit.

As regarding my successor,
I name Terada as the next

boss of the Sakanishi group.

My wish is that Akamatsu
be named his assistant and

hope that Terada will educate
and guide him so that he may

become a truly exemplary being.

As you can see, it is in
his own handwriting.

To avoid confusion, he left
the will in my hands,

keeping it a secret from
everybody, even his wife.

Ma'am, please accept
this will.

Terada, everyone, I'm sorry
to say that the situation has

changed since he wrote
this will.

Therefore, I will consider
this null and void.

Ma'am.

Akamatsu. I don't know what
you did but you killed Akamatsu.

There's an old saying, when
the hen crows, the house will fall.

You ruined everything.
Do you know that?

Thank you.

Here she is.

Who's the successor, Ma'am?

Who's the new boss?

There was no stipulation.

So what happens now?

I'll act in his name
for the time being.

I hear the group is
splitting up.

How about disbandment?

We will not disband.

Sakanishi always said there's
light and dark to everything.

Same goes for men.

Someone has to lead the 15,000 men
and their families, feed them...

or there'll be hell to pay.

From now on, you're
the target. Remember that.

One more word please.

We understand, the police
acknowledge you as

the head of the Sakanishi
group and vow to use even

stronger measures to
destroy the group.
