From a story by leda Shoko.

This is a work of fiction.

ΤΟΕΙ

He plays around and gambles.

If I complain, he slaps me so hard my head spins.

Many's the time I've taken a knife while he was sleeping.

But whenever we're apart...

I keep wondering if he might be hungry or sick.

Don't worry. They keep prisons nice and warm these days.

Yeah, but he's still not free.

My guy doesn't like drinking, but he really loves smoking.

And that other thing?

Don't. You'll just remind her of it.

My pussy's so lonely, it's got spider webs in it.

That happens when you get old.

You're an old one, too.

Three years since the boss went away and you took over for him.

You're okay?

No problem.

Really?

Then why are you made up all sexy?

I have men around me all the time. I have to deal with masculinity.

For sure! None of us could run a syndicate of 500.

Elder Sister Awazu has booked the whole place tonight.

So drink and dance your fill!

Let's all have fun.

Thanks to you, the Prison Widows Club is three years old!

So go for it!

Come on, everyone!

Don't mind if we do!

If Elder Sister says it's okay, my old man won't argue!

Cheers!

Down it! Down it! Down it!

Elder Sister, my boy doesn't want to go to school.

The kids found out his dad's in jail, so they bully him.

What can I do?

Don't worry. A kid can grow up without going to school.

My office is getting old and I'm thinking of redoing it.

Can you arrange a loan?

Sure. I'll tell Shinkai. Call the office tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you!

I just can't take it any more.

My parents want me home.

Can you tell my guy we're breaking up?

Settle that yourself.

I can't! He'll kill me!

Then stick it out.

That was a bit harsh.

A woman has to be like that to run things without a husband.

Big Mama's here.

What?!

Big Mama's here.

Everyone! It's Big Mama!

How nice to see you!

It's good to see you doing so well, Tamaki.

These are the Awazu Family prison widows?

Every three months we try to get rid of the sour taste.

My husband wanted to come, but I told him men weren't allowed.

Ma'am...

Just a token.

This wasn't necessary!

I'm sure most of you know that a man's business needs a wife's help.

Anyway, do your best.

See you.

There you go.

Want to come to Hawaii?

I take a lot of movie stars there for work.

All you ever see there are couples and honeymooners.

Just once I'd like to go when it wasn't work...

With a cool chick like you.

What's your name?

She'll be expensive, boss.

She's over 20, but she's still a virgin.

Oh?

Then I'll take responsibility. Marry me.

You're single?

Yeah.

I'm a virgin, too.

Thanks for coming out!

Boy!

My car.

You'll be done here soon?

I'll wait outside.

Thanks, as always.

Thank you. Please come again.

Thanks.

What a fool!

Full of himself.

Careful, Makoto. Those talent agents are nothing but trouble.

Right.

Oh, and here.

This month's pay.

Thank you.

And here's the taxi fare. The show-off tipped me.

Thanks.

He's got a Mercedes convertible. What do you want to do?

Out the back. Away you go.

Thanks. Good night.

Good night.

Sorry to leave early.

I'm home.

Dad, I'm home.

Oh, you're back.

Again!

They're bad for you!

See?

Get checked out at a hospital.

There's no cure for asthma. I know my own body.

Did you eat?

No appetite.

Don't talk like that! I'll make some udon noodles.

Damn it! Again! I just bought the damn things!

Are yours all right, Makoto?

My what?

Five pairs of panties stolen in the last few days!

What?!

Not me.

Really!

Who's on your workshop's 2nd floor?

Some pervert over there is peeping at me.

No one.

Really?

What are you doing?!

Who's that?! Is someone there?

Dad? Dad!

Who's upstairs?!

Masao? It's me.

Boss Tokuda sent me to watch this broken-down workshop.

The guy's check bounced. He might do a runner.

And it's hot as hell out here.

Bring some of the guys.

There's a babe here with big tits.

It's at...

Hey!

Go out and have fun. We won't run away.

You stupid kid!

I guess a dog like that keeps the other collectors away.

Good morning.

Mr Shinkai, if you park here, you block the neighbours.

Can't have that!

Hey! Back it up!

I apologise.

The seventh year since Mum died.

I couldn't help with her funeral, or the third-year ceremony.

This time I want to get all the relatives...

And have a big ceremony.

Before that, there are two things I want to get settled.

First is Dad's health.

He's got asthma, and high blood pressure.

He can't keep on working like he is now.

And the other thing is marriage for you.

A proposal, out of the blue.

A real-estate president's son. Elite, a Tokyo University graduate.

Wait a minute, Sis!

You left saying you'd never be back. Why all this meddling now?

Because now I can do things for you and Dad, of course!

Stay out of it!

We have everything we need.

We can do Mum's seventh-year by ourselves.

Do you know how much Dad's in debt?

I'll arrange a meeting with this young man.

And quit working in that joint.

I'll give you spending money.

Go on like this and you'll both end up suicides.

Dad, will you stop wasting your time doing that!

They talk about a strong yen and domestic demand...

But in the end it's the little guy who's going under.

Hey, you! Come here!

Take things easier.

A debt collector's thug.

What do you think this is? Not just any old workshop.

Shall I bust his face?

Know who I am?

Yes.

Let him go.

It's me.

What?!

Elder Sister! The Chairman's collapsed!

What?!

Hello? It's me.

I'll be right there.

Tell our Takamatsu people right away. By car's probably fastest.

For now we'll get 100 million yen ready.

Talk to Tokutsu about the surety.

Got that? Okay.

Big Mama!

Tamaki... Thank you for coming.

Come over here.

It was very sudden.

Look at his face.

My husband always liked you.

Go on.

He was taking his walk by the river when he suddenly went down.

In his favourite place, without any suffering.

No fuss. Just like him.

As head of the Domoto Syndicate, Japan's largest criminal group...

He expanded out of Osaka as the don of the nation's criminal leaders.

His death is a major blow to his syndicate.

Attention is fixed on how the conflict between extremists and moderates...

Will play out.

Taking his place...

Get out of here!

Right-hand man Kurakawa Masahiro is considered most likely.

But Koiso Akimasa, said to be the brains behind the syndicate...

Kakinuma Tatsuo, the most radical...

And Awazu Hitoshi, now in Takamatsu Prison for murder...

Are also considered possible candidates.

Get out of here!

By the will of the late Domoto Ryuzo, Chairman of the Domoto Syndicate...

Kakinuma Tatsuo is named his successor.

And for the funeral, to take place August 16th...

Kakinuma Tatsuo is also named Chairman of the Funeral Committee.

Is there a written will?

Of course there is, you idiot!

Mr Yumoto, his lawyer, has it.

Here it is!

Mr Kurakawa, anything to say?

Mr Kakinuma?

I never expected this to happen. I feel the weight of responsibility.

My husband was very concerned...

That if he died the family would spiral out of control.

I believe he chose Kakinuma...

To put our future in the hands of youth.

A haiku comes to mind.

'After mid-August, stretching the bamboo curtains. The summer goes on.'

'After mid-August, stretching the bamboo curtains. The summer goes on.'

Since its founding, the Domoto Syndicate...

Has sought to honour the ancient code of Japanese chivalry...

And contribute to social peace and development.

As the new syndicate structure leaves us no choice but to resign...

We have decided to found a new organisation, the Horyukai...

Under Kurakawa Masahiro, a close ally of the late Domoto Ryuzo.

If I may.

Let me say this.

We have no wish to do battle with the Domoto main house.

As men of honour, we live by honour's code.

We have to give our lives for our Boss.

If we can't accept that boss, well...

We have to go our different ways.

So...

That's how it is.

That damn Awazu was really lucky.

He sits in jail here, while his wife doubles his gang's influence.

She was a top hostess.

We used to go to her bar in Kitashinchi

And spend tons of money.

And then that damn Awazu snuck in and took her away.

Here she comes.

Tamaki.

Been a while.

You won't see me, so I've had to come all the way to Takamatsu.

Wait, will you?

At least hear me out.

Whatever Mr Awazu might say...

I think at least he'll understand where we're coming from.

I'm doing my best to keep him from hearing what's going on outside.

I only came today to ask him about my sister's marriage.

Don't play the fool with me.

You're okay with this?

Mr Awazu sacrifices himself for the syndicate...

And eats lousy prison food...

When in accomplishments and respect he's up there with Kakinuma.

And Kakinuma's still young.

If he takes over he'll have at least ten years.

I think the Big House is fine with it.

You mean that?

Shouldn't you be more angry than anyone?

Mr Koiso!

Tamaki ...

Help me out, will you?

Awazu's out in three months, right?

Shall we hold the Horyukai chairman's job open for him?

Right now we're running 50-50 with Domoto.

If you come over to us...

Everyone else will pile in.

Kakinuma will have to give up.

I'll listen to any other conditions you might have.

Anything you want, just ask.

Then go into the next world and ask the Big Boss to approve that.

What?

If he says it's okay, I'll join your Horyukai or anyone else.

If you'll excuse me.

Boss!

I've been working with Elder Sister in real estate for a long time.

As a person, as a wife...

I have great respect for her.

Forget me. My little sister doesn't know the ways of the world.

Do what you can for her.

Certainly.

She's a fine girl. Beautiful and smart.

Marrying her to my son and heir is a waste!

We'll leave you here. I look forward to hearing from you.

Fine.

Goodbye.

Dad said you were seeing a high-school teacher...

But that you split because of me.

They don't make much money. It was nice of him to run off.

Poverty just makes a girl unhappy.

An early gift from me.

Doesn't it make you feel all warm? That's being a woman for you.

Kakinuma's head.

Bring it.

Uh...

Bring me Kakinuma's head, I said.

Don't you hear very well?

Well...

Dad!

We're home.

You're back? Was school fun?

It was?

Welcome!

Nice to see you.

No trouble?

Nothing. I wish you'd take all these bodyguards away.

It looks bad at school.

If there's trouble, there's no going back.

Takeya!

I'll see you later. We'll play Nintendo.

Sure!

He's a lot bigger now.

All right? Take out Kakinuma.

You mean it?

Of course I mean it.

We've planned this...

Me and the Chairman, since we started the Horyukai.

Get in the first punch. That's the only way to win a war.

But why ask me?

Two reasons. First, you've got balls.

Second...

Not many Osaka yakuza know who you are.

But keep yourself out of sight.

All you were told to do was hire a hitman.

If you get caught, they come after me.

Find someone from out of town.

Someone with a lot of debt who can't pay.

Someone good with a gun who's got guts.

A foreigner would do. Someone from the mafia.

So Sugita...

If this works, you'll be one of the top guys in the Horyukai.

Depending on how things go, I might even make you my successor.

I like this one.

And I like this one.

Don't you want a new one?

Sorry!

Thank you!

Hello!

Vacation?

You're baby-sitting?

No. She's not mine.

She's his.

This is that girl 'Mako'. I'm surprised to see her.

What a coincidence!

This is my mentor, Mr Kawase.

Kawase.

And his wife.

How do you do.

And you are...

Mie!

Hello, Mie.

And this is...

I don't know your real name.

Ike Makoto. 'Ma' for 'truth', and 'koto' for the instrument.

How do you do.

That's a beautiful name. You have an Osaka accent.

I'm from Ikuno.

I'm from Tokoname in Aichi. It's famous for...

Stop it, will you!

Why? I want Makoto and I to be good friends.

I've never been over towards Nagoya.

Then come sometime. I'll take you to the Tokoname Aquarium.

That's really something.

It's from my sister.

Oh, right.

I've got something to show you at my cottage.

Right there.

Come on over.

Thanks for coming so soon.

Come on in.

A drink to celebrate this fated meeting?

Um...

What did you want to show me?

I wanted to show you these three dragons.

First is honour.

Second is guts.

The third holds a globe with 'passion' written on it.

My life...

Is on the line for these three dragons.

Move, please.

I'm ready to do what I need to.

Are you?

It won't shoot with the safety on.

An engagement ring...

So what?

Stop fighting!

Welcome!

Elder Sister! I'm afraid the place is a mess.

It sure is.

A machine gun.

Just when we were eating.

The guy wasn't very good, so the recoil sent it up and saved us.

Sounds like a Koiso man.

One of my young guys got into a fight at the boat races.

Two of their guys got hurt. We lost some glasses and the ramen.

We didn't lose a lot.

From Elder Sister.

Just a token.

Thank you, Elder Sister.

Hang in there. This is an important time.

Count on me. A wife doesn't turn while her husband's in jail.

I'm with you whatever happens.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Hello.

Dad? I'm home.

I'm home!

Oh, you're back.

What happened?

They caught that pervert yesterday. A local kid, stealing underwear.

So how was Guam?

So-so.

Tamaki keeps phoning.

About that marriage meeting. The other side really wants to do it.

Dad...

A souvenir. Maybe a bit loud for you?

Can I give it to the kid?

What kid?

That thug in the workshop.

Is he still here?

He jumped down to chase that pervert and sprained his ankle.

He's not so bad when you get to know him.

We eat together a lot.

You're hopeless!

So I'll give it to him?

It's me. Can I come in?

Just stay there. Does it hurt?

I heard what you did. Good for you!

I brought this from Guam for Dad.

How long are you staying?

The place won't be here long.

Want to go to a disco? I've got a free ticket.

What are you talking about?

I'll bring dinner when it's ready. But only today.

Good work!

Mr Yadaki's here.

Show him in.

This way.

Here they are. Waiters at Honeymoon Ginza.

Bringing in speed from Hong Kong.

Should we throw them in the river?

I'm sure there's other stuff going on. Give them to the police.

Right.

Wait.

That'll cost you a finger.

Honeymoon Ginza is right under your nose.

It's your territory, right?

I understand.

Twerp!

Who's next?

Mrs Hayasaki.

Bring her in.

You!

What is it?

Elder Sister, look at this!

What happened to you?!

I did it.

Yourself?

My fool husband loses at gambling and makes me work at a soapland!

I thought no one would want me if I shaved my head, but he said...

There's nun soaplands, too.

We've got two kids.

I'm sick of soaplands. Help me, Elder Sister, please!

Get Hayasaki.

Do you want to leave him?

No, I don't.

Then what?

I want you to tell him to quit gambling and do some work!

Oh, come on! Are you a yakuza wife or not?

Please don't say that!

I didn't marry the yakuza.

I just fell in love with a man who happened to be a gangster.

The night games are cancelled. So it goes.

Tomorrow's odds come out about 3.

Kitabeppu's the starting pitcher.

Yeah. Thanks.

She's a babe!

Look at this!

Yeah!

She's not yakuza. Maybe Shinkai's?

She's Elder Sister's sister. Of course she's pretty.

She is?

Boss!

The sister.

Welcome.

Show her in.

This way.

Your sister's here, ma'am.

Show her in.

I'll be done soon. Get yourself a drink.

Surprised, huh?

You've never been here before.

I've got men all around me. This suite is my girlie castle.

How was your pre-wedding trip?

Sis...

I've come to turn that down.

I'm not fit for a marriage like that.

You paid for Guam...

But I'm giving this back.

The engagement party's on a lucky day, the 12th of next month.

Mr Tokutsu says he'll buy Dad's workshop and the house.

And pay twice the price.

With interest and payments, there'll still be lots left over.

Thank you.

I'll take care of any worries there are about Dad.

Mr Tokutsu's even going to find a place for you both to live.

That's out of line!

You're the one out of line.

Look, when a girl reaches 24, she's a full-fledged adult.

I'm going to live my life alone.

Sis...

Please understand that.

I understand.

You found a guy in Guam.

Forget him.

If he complains, I'll deal with him.

Who is he?

What will you do?

Kill him?

So he's not just some guy.

Don't tell me he's yakuza.

Now you mention it, he has tattoos like you do.

His are three dragons.

See why I'm saying no?

I'm going.

Hold it!

Don't you pick a fight with me!

Yes?

Find out who flew from here to Guam on the long weekend.

Yes, ma'am.

Sis!

You've got no idea what the yakuza's all about.

When you sober up from Guam, come talk to me again.

I'll keep this till then.

Yes?

The successor's shot!

What?!

An ambush in Tengachaya.

Is he dead?

We don't know. He's in hospital in Abeno.

Car!

Well?

Dunno.

The Horyukai's declared war!

It's going to be full-on, so be ready!

What's happened?

No comment.

Just a few words!

No comment, I said. Out of the way!

What's happening inside the Domoto Syndicate?

Attacked by a Horyukai member opposed to Chairman Kakinuma...

Who was hospitalised with a head wound.

Police, taking this seriously, have launched a wide search...

While a man believed involved has turned himself in.

The man is Kawase Hajime, 45, from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture.

Appearing for voluntary questioning...

He was identified as the assailant and arrested on the spot.

Kawase belongs to neither Domoto nor the Horyukai...

So the reasons for his involvement remain unknown.

Where's Makoto?!

Watching the dolphins with Mie. She just showed up at the house.

Did she know?

She saw it on TV.

I wouldn't have talked about Tokoname if I'd known.

It's all over if she mentions you or Mr Koiso from Osaka.

My husband won't have a home to come back to in ten years.

I know!

Leave it to me, okay?

You'll be in Osaka a while?

And the kid?

My sister can take her.

But watch it, Mr Sugita.

Keep a good grip on yourself.

All right?

Yeah.

Great, huh?

Been a while.

Why don't you come by my office and we can talk about things.

TRUST IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND COURAGE Cool, huh? My boss Koiso Akimasa did that.

He's helping me get ahead.

So he's your boss, too.

Mr Sugita...

When did I become your wife?

Don't be like that.

Let go!

Touch me again and I'll call the police.

Cops?!

Let me tell you where you stand.

Listen.

Be my wife.

Say no...

And I kill you.

This isn't a toy.

Here's something interesting.

Just between you and me.

As soon as this job was done...

I planned to grab you and get out of here.

That girl's sister is boss of the Awazu Family.

Some dubious characters are coming by.

Hang around here and you'll get killed.

Your sister, the Awazu boss.

What weird fate is that!

Listen and listen good.

I'm serious.

It's thanks to his wife that Kawase could do that even having a kid.

If you throw in with me...

I swear for you I'll become the Capone of Japan.

What the...?!

Congratulations!

Thanks.

I'll reintroduce myself. I'm Ichiki, second-in-command.

Speak up!

Kikunaga Ryuji, Sugita Family Action Team Leader. How do you do.

Tokioka Tappei, man of spirit from the Black Current of Choshi, Chiba.

How do you do.

Liked the yakuza, joined from a gang.

Konno Kyoichi. How do you do.

Tsutomu.

'Ready-when-needed Hanata Taichi .' How do you do.

Let's cut the cake. Taichi.

Sorry, we don't have a knife.

Here.

Who are you?

Quiet!

Stay cool.

Sorry to interrupt, Sugita. Could you come answer some questions?

No evidence, and you want me to stroll in?

What do you want to ask about?

We can get a warrant if you want. Blackmail, gambling, bodily harm...

And that's against the Weapons Law.

You drew the target on Kakinuma for Kawase.

Mr Kawase had a grudge against him. It was payback.

I'm not involved.

Where were you on the 13th?

Anyway, from now on Kawase's a yakuza hero.

Come and talk to us sometime. You'll feel better.

Thanks. This'll help.

Our income's way down lately.

Awazu's all we can count on.

The battle's running 50-50. It needs another push.

Since the split happened, it's cost the lives of 17 young men...

From both sides.

They're after you, too.

I was born under a bad star.

It's your faith that keeps you safe.

People mustn't forget to pray to the Gods and to Buddha.

Especially if you live in a world like ours.

Tamaki ...

I'm sure you've heard.

A proposal from Tokyo for a settlement.

Yes.

I'm thinking of saying yes.

My husband in the next world wouldn't want more dead.

But...

My agreeing won't help if the real boss isn't here.

What do you think of Noda, the HQ Chief, for the Third Boss?

Well?

I think he'd be the right man.

I'm not sure about having Tokyo in on the agreement.

Either way, Domoto would never...

That goes without saying.

As long as I'm alive, no one will lay a finger...

On the Domoto crest.

Big Mama, please! Wait another three months.

Awazu gets out this fall.

He'll take care of everything, without asking help from anyone.

I'm sure of it!

You don't mind building a mountain of corpses...

If it's for your husband's sake?

Just because you've paid for a few soldiers...

Don't get carried away.

The Prison Widows don't look happy tonight.

It's like a wake!

So what?

Five of us in this bunch alone are real widows now.

If my husband had served his whole sentence...

He wouldn't have died!

Osaka's getting too dangerous...

So everyone's moving to Tokyo.

Some are arranging to get caught.

These days husbands with long sentences are safest.

'O child of the rising sun, O boy of Yamato, which path will you take?

'The red kimono, or the white?'

The late Chairman used to say things like this...

'Yakuza are like car exhaust.

'They need gas to run.

'Burn gas and it turns to fumes.

'You may not like the fumes but everyone needs a car.

'That's the way of the world.'

So that means we're married to fumes?

We'll all hang out a bit longer. Take care on your way home.

You've all got children. Make sure you're home by morning.

Take care going home.

Come on.

I drank a bit too much tonight.

I learned something from what you said about the fumes.

Look out!

You punks!

Hold it!

Leave them.

We'll go before the cops come.

What's wrong?

Quiet!

I heard something.

The cat next door's in heat.

A cat, huh?

You're not yourself lately. Is there something wrong with you?

That Awazu bitch...

Put a price on my head! 50 million yen, I tell you!

I won't be her first victim of revenge.

Like I keep saying, why don't you just retire and take it easy.

I can't do that!

Maybe I'll just take Takeya and go back home.

What?!

Hey!

What are you doing?!

Some Elder Sister you are!

Takeya! Takeya! Wake up!

Hey!

What are you doing?!

Going home. I'm not everyone's 'elder sister'!

Takeya!

Now you're talking stupid!

It's an earthquake. It'll wipe out all of Osaka!

It's not an earthquake, Boss. Look!

What?!

An Awazu attack!

What the hell's going on?!

No! I hate this!

What are you doing?! Cut it out!

Yasuko!

Calm down!

I hate this!

Yasuko!

I hate this!

It's all right. It's all right!

Don't worry!

Good morning!

So Ichiki got hurt?

Yes. He's hurt bad. He'll be laid up for three months.

We're getting threatening phone calls.

And something's wrong at Osaka HQ.

The papers say maybe you were behind the Domoto successor killing.

Maybe Koiso doesn't want anything to do with you.

I'll go to Osaka.

Osaka?

Yeah.

I have to talk to Boss Koiso.

I'll come, too.

No.

Right now every gangster in Osaka is out to kill me.

I don't want you involved.

Honey...

Smarten up.

You're the Sugita Family Elder Sister.

Don't worry.

I don't want to spend ten years away from you.

They won't get me.

On my way back from Osaka I'll go meet your father.

He'll cry.

You watch.

Neither you nor your dad will regret this.

To tell you the truth...

I'm...

I'm...

Scared.

I'm scared.

The Koiso Elder Sister's here. What should I do?

Show her in.

Could you wait outside?

Thanks.

Nice to see you! Coming from school?

Today's Sunday, Auntie.

So it is! Auntie's so silly! Sorry about that.

A year after I got married, I had a miscarriage.

If I'd had that child, my life would probably be a lot different.

What's on your mind?

This whole thing comes from what they've done.

Why do I have to bow down?

There's Elder Sister!

Elder Sister! I'm here!

Hey! Whose side are you on?

Elder Sister!

Go and talk to her, will you?

If this war goes on, I'm going home and taking Takeya with me.

Hello! I've brought my husband, like I said I would.

Well done.

It's been a while.

Let's forget what's happened, and say what's on our minds.

Fine with me.

All of you wait here.

Off the boat. Quick!

I'll wait for you at Yodoyabashi.

Let's stop talking like enemies.

I used to chat you up in Kitashinchi, right?

If you're going to try something, go all the way.

But, Mr Koiso, let me say this.

Today I'm serious.

So what, then?

I have to dissolve my organisation as a condition for settling?

If you don't, we'll just go on fighting forever.

How old are you, Mr Koiso?

Huh? Me?

56. Still at the peak of my powers.

That's right. You've still got 20 years left in you.

On the other hand, I'm just a worthless woman.

A tie game between us is a loss for you.

You've grown a really thick skin since I saw you last.

You can already see who's going to be the next Domoto Chairman.

But still...

Men's pride is at stake.

And me quitting won't end things that easy.

But...

I'll think about it.

It's done. Somebody pass out the rice.

Sure! It smells good!

With you here, we all eat at home.

Elder Sister!

You're home!

My mum sent us this.

All that?

She farms by herself in Mikawa.

What can we send her?

Don't worry.

Curry rice!

Thanks!

Leave some for me.

Another parcel.

Be careful.

It's fine.

Delivery!

Seal, please.

Damn you!

Roger.

It's okay.

Come on.

How long are we going to keep on doing this?

Isn't it over?

No, but I'm trying to end it.

All this swimming is weird!

I said not to.

The boy's got to do something!

There you go!

Anyway, I'm going swimming. Come on, Takeya.

Be careful.

Go on.

Takeya!

Ready? I'm going to pull.

Quick!

Is that fun?

Go on, Takeya.

Boss!

Sugita!

Everyone's after you. What do you want here?

Down on the floor.

Down! Quick!

What for?

Is it true that the family's shutting down?

Shutting down? Who said that?

It's in all the papers.

It's not set.

So it is going to happen?

To end the war, someone's got to make a sacrifice.

It's for the good of all!

Not desertion under fire?

So all the guys who've died so far, that was just a waste?

What about me?!

Where will Kawase go when he gets out of jail?

I've made some provisions for you.

What kind of provision? Spit it out!

Is that how you talk to your boss?!

If our family breaks up, I'll tell the cops everything.

I killed Kakinuma.

Don't be a fool!

My wife has the gun that killed him.

Wife? I thought you were single.

I have a wife. Awazu Tamaki's younger sister.

What?!

Have you gone nuts?

I'm already half-crazy.

Write in your own blood you're giving me the Koiso crest.

I can't do that.

Write it!

Are you going to kill your own boss?

Are you?!

Please, Boss!

Kill me.

Otherwise I can't face Kawase and my dead young guys.

Kill me!

Don't be stupid.

You just called yourself my boss.

If you're a yakuza...

Just this once, act like one!

If you want to die that bad, do it yourself.

Show me some balls, and I'll rethink.

There.

Die.

Do it!

Hold it!

Boss!

Watch. I'm going to die!

This is stupid.

Boss!

Where have you been?!

Your father dropped dead. It's all a big mess!

You weren't at the funeral, you took off...we've been worried!

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Why didn't you tell me?

You knew I was at Sugita's.

Good news, Dad! Be happy.

Awazu's going to be the third Domoto chairman.

As Domoto's chairman, he'll be Japan's number one!

For all those years you were alone, but now...

Even in the afterlife you can be proud.

I'll be staying at a hotel in Kyoto.

You can do what you like here.

Banji!

Surprised, huh? When Dad died this guy was a big help.

It was fate. I took him in here.

At your service.

Anything you need, ask him.

Wear anything you like from here.

What's wrong?

This isn't like you.

Dad had you on his mind...

Until his very last breath.

I wasn't there for him.

It's all my fault.

What's that?

Sleeping pills. I want to sleep.

Dad...

Makoto's finally home.

As long as I'm around I won't steer you wrong.

Don't worry.

What's that car behind us?

Speed up.

What do you want?!

I'm Sugita Kiyoshi, from Handa. Of the Sugita Family.

I followed you here to talk to Elder Sister Awazu.

Please let me see her.

It's Sugita, from Handa.

Oh.

Elder Sister Awazu? We meet at last.

I'm Sugita Kiyoshi.

I'd like your sister back.

Makoto is my wife.

My incompetence has brought her hardship...

But that will not happen again.

I'm told you and my superiors...

Are talking peace.

But my war starts here.

I will get back on my feet and be the equal of your husband.

If you can see your way clear.

Is that all?

All right, Sugita. I've kept quiet and listened to you...

Because that's the Osaka code.

If I ever see you again...

It won't end well.

All right? Remember that.

Vice-Chairman Attacked! Perpetrator Attempts Suicide

What's your baseball team?

Hiroshima Carp. What's yours?

Tigers.

Figures.

Why?

All the Osaka girls like them.

Disco?

Elder Sister wouldn't like it.

Idiot. Where's there a disco open at this hour?

My sister really scares you.

Welcome back.

Makoto's upstairs?

Yes.

Come into the office, all of you. I've got something to tell you.

Bring some beer.

My husband's getting out a month early.

He comes to Osaka on the 20th of next month.

Then he's out a week after that.

He likes to dress in white.

You wanted to study design in Paris? Why don't you do that?

Why do you say that all of a sudden?

It's for your sake.

This wouldn't be about Sugita, would it?

Don't be silly.

I know Sugita's alive, and near here.

You talked to him, didn't you.

Sis!

Leave us alone.

Listen...

There are good yakuza and bad ones, and he's one of the worst.

Not even worth killing.

But one day we'll have to kill him, for your sake.

If you must get together with a man from our world...

At least choose one who'll reach the top.

Do that, and I won't complain.

Dad...

I'm going...

To that man.

Sorry.

He's yakuza, but he's in trouble.

As his wife, I can't abandon him.

Understand that.

Makoto!

I mean it.

Like you say, he's trash.

And worse, he's hurt.

That's why I'm going.

Fool!

'Bye.

Hold it! We don't need two yakuza wives in one family.

I won't let you fall into hell with our father looking on.

You're not taking one step out of this room.

Move!

This gun killed the second chairman!

I'll shoot you, too!

Idiot.

Shoot me, then.

Why won't you listen to me?!

My mind's made up!

I won't let you go!

I'm going to him!

I won't let you!

I'm going!

I won't let you!

Fool! You damn fool!

Idiot! Why won't you listen to what I'm telling you!

Falling in love with a loser!

Open your damn eyes!

What's wrong with you?!

Fool!

You fool!

You've got guts. I appreciate that.

You win.

It really looks like you're in love with him.

As of today, we're not sisters anymore.

We're not family.

We're two separate yakuza wives.

All right?

The next time we meet...

Be there with your husband.

You have to be proud of him.

If you can't do that, you lose.

You lose without that.

Sis!

Sis!

Quick.

Get going.

Go on.

Elder Sister!

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Are you still mad?

Of course I am. How stupid can you get?

That was all fake.

I didn't hit anything vital.

Really?

Did you see a doctor?

They'd get me. I wanted to see you first.

I couldn't afford to get caught.

No! Don't!

It's okay.

No! No!

Look...

Iet's see a doctor.

Do you want to die?

If I'm caught...

It'll be ten years.

I'll wait at the Handa house.

I'll build up the family ten times...

Or twenty times...

And wait for you.

You sound like someone we know.

I'll tell you this.

I won't let her beat me.

Makoto...

Do you still have that gun?

Did you shoot someone?!

Awazu Tamaki.

Just for show.

I aimed away from her.

But honey...

Should you maybe throw it away?

Yeah, maybe.

If I have it...

It brings bad luck.

Makoto...

Honey!

Who the hell are you?!

Boss!

The End
