TOEI COMPANY, LTD.

KOBE

Drive slowly.

They're here somewhere.

They've got some nerve, arranging a meeting in the street...

It's a precaution. So they can make a quick get-away.

If we're not careful, they'll clean us out of 6 million yen.

FURNITURE

Shall we kill them and take the money?

If it comes to that, I'll give the order.

We need to treat them well, in case they end up being trustworthy clients.

Let's think of tonight as a blind date.

OSAKA 55 WA ・ 2 69

There it is.

Make sure there isn't anyone suspicious around.

Koichi!

Chief, they have two cars.

The others won't be able to see when we signal with the headlights.

Calm your nerves. If they catch on to us, it's game over.

DANGEROUS TRADE IN KOBE

MOTOMACHI STATION

NAKATOSHIMOTO ACCESS RD. KANSAI KISEN NAKATOKUJO PIER

Chief.

Listen up. When I shout, "this better be real heroin,"

- turn on the headlights. - Yes, sir.

Mr. Kitamura.

Sorry for the lengthy process.

It seems you finally trust me.

Unfortunately, I don't have a whole kilo.

No? Why not?

I was just able to bring 300g.

Fine, show me.

Money, first.

Where's my product?

This better be real heroin!

Ise Sadao, you're under arrest for illegal possession of narcotics!

Asshole!

ISE SADAO (AGE: 28)

Your profession?

I sell heroin.

Listen here, we know you peddle drugs for Minoura group.

There has to be a connection with S-Group, isn't that right?

Who exactly is S-Group's seller?

I'm not saying anything about our group. You're just wasting your damn breath.

You really messed up big this time.

- Who gave me up? - That's right, you were ratted out.

I'm willing to bet you don't know who it was either.

We have S-informers.

People working for us on the inside, a whole underground operation.

How about that?!

Look pal, I have the right to remain silent.

The arrest warrant is valid for 48 hours.

Prosecutor detention is 10 days.

Add an extension, that's another 10 days.

That means we have a full 22 days to question you.

This is gonna be fun.

Quit fucking around!

- Say, Kurahashi... - Yeah?

Take a look at this Ise guy's history. It's full of fabrications and lies.

It says he was an honors student at a pharmaceutical university.

But who knows how much is actually true.

Perhaps we could use him to our advantage as an informant...

- You mean make him a spy? - Yeah.

It's too dangerous. No telling what his type might do.

How does the heroin circulate and end up in your hands?

Tell me, who's selling you the drugs?

- Give me a cigarette. - Fuck your cigarette!

Listen up, Ise.

As narcotics detectives, we have the power to take all that heroin,

and we'll spread word that you're an informant working for us.

What do you think happens next?

They'll all come for your head!

Food's here.

As if I'd eat this shit!

Officer, officer...

I gotta pee. Can you help me out here?

Fine.

Ise, got something for you.

Here.

It isn't food?

There was a lunch box too...

But the rules say I can't give it to you.

Anyway, this is from a woman, Shimizu Masumi.

Nice boobs on that one.

Masumi...?

Come on, let me see her, just for a bit.

- You don't get to make requests! - Bastard!

Masumi!

Can you hear me?!

Masumi, Masumi…

Ma… Masumi!

Masumi…

Ah, Masumi...

Ah, Masumi...

Hey, Chief.

If I...

Were to give up the guy I do deals with...

Is there anything in it for me?

Let's see.

If you agree to become an informant and assist in the war against narcotics,

we could do something to prevent time in the slammer.

What the hell? A spy?

Yes, a spy.

That's not even worth a laugh.

You really think I'd betray the group and my boss?

You're different from all those punks.

You actually graduated from a university.

Would it mean... I'd soon taste the air of freedom?

Correct. Immediately.

- This isn't a trick, is it? - Nothing of the sort.

We're counting on you here.

We can report you as a low-level drug peddler and send that to the public prosecutor's office.

You can probably get out on a five hundred thousand yen bail.

Why not earn that money back through us?

The guy I did deals with...

Is called Oukinsha. He's one of S-Group's leaders.

Where does he live?

I don't know where he lives.

Who's the boss they call Sai?

I don't care how minor. Tell us everything you know.

No one knows.

- Not even my boss. - Bullshit!

We can assume that besides Oukinsha,

MINISTRY OF HEALTH

HONG KONG TRIADS⇒S-GROUP⇒ OUKINSHA⇒MINOURA GROUP

S-Group has a number of chiefs, all of whom are led by a boss known as Sai.

Each one smuggles heroin into the country.

Under Sai's watchful eye, it's the largest organized crime group in South Kobe.

Generally speaking, the supply is channeled through Minoura group and then distributed to the public.

Now, so as to work as an informant, and to assist in the arrest of Oukinsha,

we'll be returning Ise Sadao to Minoura group.

By doing so, we'll position ourselves to move in on Sai's operation, internally and externally.

That's all well and good Mr. Shimazaki,

but can we really trust a marked yakuza like that guy?

If our plan's revealed, we'll be worse off than before.

Which is why we'll send an undercover narcotics detective alongside Ise.

I share the same viewpoint. Taking down S-Group requires a sting operation.

I have to ask a favor.

The identities of our Kinkan region detectives

may already be compromised and known to Minoura group.

Can anyone recommend a suitable detective for this role?

We want you to pretend you're friends with one of ours,

to get him inside Minoura group.

What?

His name's Akutsu Ryusuke. He's a detective from the Tokai-Hokuriku region.

You guys underestimate Minoura. You really think this stupid plan will work?

You're doing it.

Because you know what'll happen if you don't...

Yeah...

I get it.

Say, chief, one question for you.

When I get out, I'm gonna have to go back to selling drugs.

You'll keep me on a loose leash, right?

You won't arrest me, will you?

Fine.

We can overlook the small stuff.

Boss! Boss, welcome back!

Welcome home.

Hey, go find the bastard that ratted me out.

- Masumi? - Darling!

Masumi!

I missed you.

Wait...

Not so fast...

Hey, Masumi...

Masumi, I love you.

- Remind you of anything? - You dummy.

Give me some.

Darling, you got out of custody so quickly this time.

I pretended to turn myself in.

Those pigs believed me.

From now on, I'm gonna grab life by the balls.

Nothing can scare me.

Yeah?

It's me.

Seriously?

Got it.

What the fuck? It's me, bro!

Shut up!

What?!

Who's the one that crossed me?!

Was it you?!

You!

Tell me, who's the bastard that did it?!

Get back here!

Shopping, eh?

- Let's get a coffee together. - No, I'll pass.

- It'll just take 5 minutes, can't you spare that? - I have places to go.

Yeah, who is it?

Are you Ise?

And who are you? It's fucking late, you know.

- I'm Akutsu. - Akutsu?

- I don't know you. - Wake up!

This is your new buddy, Akutsu.

I'm a G-man (undercover agent) from Nagoya.

Oh, it's you.

What do you want?

What do I want?

Seems like you're still half asleep.

Splash some cold water on your face.

I'll call you back in 15 minutes.

You hear me? This isn't the time to be sleeping around with girls half your age.

Hey, what did you say?!

- You awake now? - Hey, asshole.

You better watch your goddamn mouth.

Good, you're awake.

Now you're gonna listen to me, and listen good.

Shut the hell up!

Who do you think you are?

I'm not one of your subordinates you can push around.

Come to the port tower. Tomorrow morning, 9 o'clock.

I'll meet you there.

You really think I'm going to listen to you?!

Punk, if you have a complaint, tell me about it there.

Fine.

But don't say I didn't warn you.

Ise?

AKUTSU RYUSUKE (AGE: 32)

So you're Akutsu then?

What's with the piece?

That's no way to meet a friend.

Akutsu, let me make this clear.

Sure, I promised to introduce you to the group...

But I haven't said anything about taking orders from you.

- I don't like your attitude. - What of it?!

Learn your place. You haven't been set free.

You gave up 5 years in the slammer so you could be my little servant.

Shut up!

- You... - Enough!

You don't have the guts to kill me anyway.

Listen up.

From now on we're going to work together as partners.

That's an order!

Complaints?

You know Sai, don't you?

I'm talking about S-Group's head boss.

You know...

I've confiscated kilo after kilo of heroin from the Nagoya and Nigata ports.

But there's no end to it.

Because this guy Sai remains somewhere here in Kobe, untouched.

That isn't right.

- Are you ready yet? - Yeah, finished.

I'm done too.

Go.

That doesn't do me any good at all.

Oh! Boss, you won again!

Bunch of novices. This is pathetic.

But he's got good intuition. Way better than you, brother.

Quit your blabbering and go call the boss.

O-OK.

Shit, nothing left to bet with.

- Do it. - Lets go.

Crap.

Right, here we go. Everyone good?

Let it roll.

- Let it roll. - OK, let it roll.

Alright, good.

- Here. - OK, this one's done.

- This one's done too. - Go!

Small return.

- Wrap it up. - What? - Not again...

Hey, bring the good sake. Make it a double shot.

No winners.

Hey, buddy, bring the whole bottle.

Hurry and deal us in.

- We have nothing left. - What the?

Bastard, what did you do?!

- What are you accusing me of? - What the hell do you think?

You just poked me with your elbow.

So you got a problem with me?

- Follow me out front... - Hey, just forget about it.

- This doesn't concern you! - I said stop this shit!

I don't know which group you're from,

but if you touch my friend, you'll regret it, punk.

And just who the fuck are you?!

Huh?

Maybe I should slice you up!

What did you say?!

Come on, motherfucker!

Hey, stop!

Idiot, stop it!

Shall I blow a hole in your head?!

Ise, that's enough.

If you're gonna use a gun, I'll use mine.

Ah, they're all sticky...

Boss.

This is Akutsu Ryusuke from Nagoya.

He's the wandering lone wolf type. We go way back.

It seems he got into some trouble and needs your help.

I'm Akutsu. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

- OK. - Pon!

Ise, you got out of custody pretty quick, didn't you?

Yeah, on bail.

Sure, but what happened?

You get out on bail after getting caught red-handed?

I managed to ditch the product in a sewer during all the confusion.

With no evidence, all I had to do was play dumb.

Say... you sure you weren't tagged?

- I don't think you should be coming here. - Sister...

That's why I laid low and waited a few days.

They know about all our activities...

Best not to fret about it.

Sorry, Boss.

I screwed up bad this time. But I'll make it up to you.

- Reach. - Yes.

Ise, what's done is done.

Stay away from drugs for a while.

I have, ah...

- Never mind. - Of course not.

I understand your point, Boss.

But if we close shop now, that'll mean trouble for our wholesaler.

- If I'm careful, it'll be fine. - Ise, enough.

Mr. Akutsu, I hear you put on quite the show.

Smith and Wesson, right? That's the same one police officers carry.

Don't do something stupid.

Right now our operation's being watched by the pigs and G-men.

Understood, I'll be careful.

That was a close call.

Along with the boss,

that loan shark, Kita, is a formidable man.

I feel like they can see right though us.

Luckily, we didn't get caught.

Akutsu, check the counter. The two on the right are your kind.

The bartender's name is Nagano. He's Oukinsha's liaison.

Have you met Oukinsha before?

That guy's top-brass.

Whenever we do business, it's never been face-to-face.

Akutsu...

If those two rattle the cage here, everything we're trying to do will come crashing down.

Besides, there's no telling when the group will see through our facade.

Relax, I won't do anything to make them suspect you.

You know... drug selling is how I make a living.

Take away the drugs, you take away our livelihood with it.

Don't forget that.

Maybe you can help a guy out.

I hear in this place you can get the Rising Sun.

Huh? Rising Sun? What are you talking about?

Come off it.

Give us an introduction,

and we'll make it well worth your while, OK?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Who gave you permission to sell in Minoura group's territory?!

Who do you work for?!

Hey, what's wrong?

Get a hold of yourself.

This way.

Get this man a glass of water.

Take it easy, buddy.

You OK?

Come on, look at him. This guy's an addict. He needs a hit.

Just one bag. Can't you help a brother out?

I might have something. You can give it a try, but it isn't cheap.

Thanks.

There's no doubt.

It's been diluted with sugar, but it's definitely S-Group's product.

- Here. - Yeah.

How is he doing?

Come here.

What's going on?

Thanks.

Take it, I don't need the change.

Thank you. See you.

Wait a second.

That's a real quality product you got there. Can't we get more of it?

I'll take a kilo. Two, even.

Sorry, but that's out of my league.

Don't play dumb.

I know you're a seasoned seller.

Come on, let me see your boss.

You'll be rewarded handsomely.

Asshole!

Hand it over!

Stop, you asshole! Don't underestimate me!

Damn it! Shit!

What are you doing?!

You guys are detectives.

What?!

Hey!

Ise?

What's going on here?

- Are you hurt? - I'm fine.

These guys are narcotics detectives.

I knew it... the way they were looking at me wasn't right.

And you are?

That's Akutsu from Nagoya.

I brought him here to see you.

This guy's a genuine customer. Show him to the big boss.

I see. If he's good by you, Ise, he's good by me too.

Hey, go talk somewhere else.

If you don't hurry, these guys will wake up.

Ise, Minoura group gave the OK on him, right?

That's right, all green and ready to go!

Was that guy Akutsu?

- Yeah. - He's gone too far.

He didn't have to ruin our operation.

- That's right. - I get why you're angry...

But it's done now. We have to follow his lead.

- But...! - I'll make sure he knows his place.

It won't happen again. Don't worry.

After Ise's arrest, Minoura group's been laying low,

so they're having trouble selling their product.

As for Mr. Oukinsha...

We managed to set up our first meeting for tomorrow.

It's going down under Nagoya's Numata group, and they're calling it the Meijo Trade.

Oh right, this is the perfect thing to ask you...

You're just old enough to look the part.

Tomorrow at 2 PM, go to the Motomachi no Ran coffee shop.

Mr. Akutsu.

I'll let it slide this time.

But from now on, you need to respect the hierarchy.

Don't forget that our investigations are subject to rules.

Mr. Kurahashi. For them, there are no rules.

The yakuza are smarter than us.

- What? - Mr. Akutsu.

I've set up the funds for the operation.

- Good luck out there. - Thanks.

I'm Ou.

- Let's start business. - How does 500g sound?

That'll do.

5,000 yen per gram.

No, make it 2,500...

4,500, then?

That's too expensive.

- 3,500. - No, no, no, no...

Let's make it 4,000.

What do you say to 3,800?

Alright, then. I'll give it the OK.

- When? - I'll contact you.

Understood.

Boss!

Boss, we have a problem.

Oukinsha's men are selling the product to another market.

- What was that? - I heard it from one of our dealers.

Hey, Ise!

It seems like your buddy Akutsu started fucking with our business.

I hear he's even meeting frequently with Nagano!

- There must be some mistake. - Ise...

Just who the hell is that guy, anyway?

Don't tell me he's got connections with another group?

Is that it?

- Is he trying to sabotage our operation?! - Don't be stupid!

I've known him for a long time.

- Kanai. - Yes?

The dealer, Nagano... do what you need to make him sing.

Yes, sir.

Ise...

Are you coming?!

Yes.

Hey.

Oh...

What's going on, guys?

- What the hell do you think? - Get your ass out there!

Nagano, I hear you did a number on our group.

What do you mean?

Don't play dumb! We already know the story.

How can you sell our information to another group?

Did you really think you'd get away with that crap here in Kobe?

This guy you talked to... who is he?

Wait a minute. The deal was supposed to be cleared on your side.

Mr. Ise gave the OK himself.

Ise did?

We talked it through.

Said the guy was his friend. Name was Akutsu.

- You sure about that? - Absolutely.

- Ise! - Nagano! - Mr. Ise!

Will you drop the act already?!

How dare you use me to make up some bullshit excuse.

Normally, I'd let it slide.

But accusing me of betraying the group is going too far.

What the hell did you say? You're the asshole who said...

Shut up!

I can't allow a rat like you to continue living.

Recently, in the city of Kobe,

at around noon, there was a homicide that appears to be the result of a gang war.

At 2:40 PM today,

in Ikuta, Kanou-cho, Kobe City, in front of the Miyuki building,

the body of a deceased young man suddenly fell to the sidewalk, causing a panic in the area.

According to the police report, the man was Nagano Tamotsu, a 31 year old former gang member.

He was shot a total of three times.

It appears he was shot to death on the Miyuki building rooftop before plummeting to the ground.

Just moments before this, at the Karakara sauna located on the fifth floor,

eyewitnesses reported seeing Nagano being taken by two men

who are believed to be related gang members.

The police are investigating the case as a gangland murder.

Next, there was a collision between a car and a passenger car on the Meihan National Highway in Nara Prefecture.

So this is what you were talking about.

No luck. We have to start all over.

We're gonna pull out.

Akutsu...

- Ise. - Akutsu!

It's your fault... everything's your goddamn fault!

If you're gonna contact Nagano, you can't fuck it up like that!

What the hell are you gonna do if they find out about us?!

Your name isn't Akutsu, it's Akutou (devil)!

What the hell? What are you doing, Akutou?!

I'll hold on to this.

Forget about it.

The police aren't an issue.

The problem is Kita.

Akutsu, they might have found out. If so, they won't let us off easy.

I won't abandon you.

Hiya!

Hey.

Hello!

Masumi!

- What are you doing, looking like that? - I was waiting, preparing for battle!

- Come, Yumi - Ah, jeez...

Hey, Masumi. Hurry up and get over here.

Akutsu.

- You good with taking Yumi? - What do you mean?

Isn't it obvious? We're playing doctor, and she's your nurse.

I'll call in another girl if she doesn't meet your liking.

It isn't like that.

Hey...

I know you're a G-man, but...

Don't tell me you even have a safety lock on the pistol between your legs.

Akutsu.

What?

We're gonna decide who gets the bed.

9.

3.

Bed!

Alright.

Masumi...

Come on.

- Wait. That hurts. - What are ya doing, huh?

Ise... hey! Are we both gonna do it here?

What of it? Hurry up and start already.

I said hurry!

Masumi, take it off.

A... Akutsu! How're you doing?

Yeah, it's great!

Hey, you're pretty good at this!

Can I call you... ah, Masumi... can I call you brother?

Yeah. Call me whatever you want.

Brother! Ah... I'm coming first!

Hey, brother, how about a partner change?

Huh? Right now?

Yeah, I can go another round!

Masumi, take good care of my brother here.

Excuse me!

Masumi, between me and my brother, who's better?

What was that?

You're both great.

This is another one of the contact points.

It's rumored that some product is also hidden here.

Oukinsha may show up.

Nobody move!

Don't move. We have a search warrant.

Who's in charge here?!

Fine, everyone up and face the wall!

Hurry it up!

Hey! Line up against the wall!

Calm down.

Drugs!

It's the real deal.

Brother, the cop over there is from the crime prevention division.

He knows my face. If he sees me, we're screwed.

Leave it to me.

Hey! W-What the hell is this?!

- You bastard! - Out of the way!

After him!

Look out!

Brother, why are you so suspicious of that company?

Just because they're Chinese doesn't mean they deal drugs.

You remember this?

How could I forget? This is the bottle stuffed with drugs, right?

It was a good idea.

The importer of that wine is the Hong Sheng Trading Company over there.

Oh! I see!

HONG SHEN TRADING COMPANY

HONG SHEN TRADING COMPANY

The orders are to sell the drugs from Hong Kong.

But it's impossible. We'll be hounded by both the narcotics detectives and the police.

Also, we can't choose whom we deal with.

There are spies. On both Japanese and Chinese sides. There's nothing we can do about that.

I don't care if he's Japanese or Chinese. If you discover an informant, kill him.

I'll handle the costs.

How about Minoura group?

They're currently holding back.

Minoura group is our most trustworthy connection in Japan.

They have sufficient funds, too.

Boss, I think we should report to Hong Kong that the trade situation in Japan is unsustainable.

We have to keep going. Those were our orders from Hong Kong.

We already have two kilos of heroin coming in.

On March 3rd, it will arrive at Nagoya Port, via the Dutch cargo ship, Louis.

I'll personally go receive it.

That's a good looking woman.

She's definitely Japanese.

Damn it. It feels like he took my girl.

I'm no match for someone with money.

That's too brazen.

Arresting without cause or proof is the same as kidnapping.

It's not kidnapping. This guy committed a crime.

What's the crime?

Illegal possession of narcotics.

We'll give him a search. If heroin shows up, perfect.

If not, we take 3 or 5g, plant it on him, same difference.

- That's too aggressive. - That's our only option.

If they learn Oukinsha's been captured, Sai will make a run for it.

All we need is to get this guy to talk within 12 hours.

Once we learn Sai's identity, we'll secure a warrant and swoop in for the arrest.

Who's your boss and where is he?

- I don't know. - I'm asking who's the boss. Tell me!

I said I don't know.

Yes, you do! It's you. You're the boss!

What?

That's it! You're Sai! You're their leader!

- You scum! - Are you guys trying to kill me?

I want to kill you! You're an enemy of the Japanese people!

I-I'll report to the Chinese Embassy what you're doing to me.

Fine. Go crawling back to your country for help!

HK and Taiwan have increased their drug sentences, from 15 years to life!

Don't you even fucking know that?!

You see, Oukinsha...

Japanese laws are the most lenient.

Hurry up and confess, so we can lighten your sentence.

"I... Oukinsha,"

"am in association with the Hong Kong Triads drug trafficking organization,"

"and as a representative living in Japan..."

- I didn't say any of that! - It's written on your face!

For you not to say anything essentially means

that you're taking the blame for all three parties involved.

Speak Japanese!

Oukinsha.

To tell the truth, we're well aware that you're not the boss.

But without your confession, we can't arrest the real boss.

And since we have no other choice, we're using you as a substitute.

We're gonna make you take the blame for S-Group's crimes, and hang you out to dry.

That's what we live to do! Do you hear me, bastard?!

What's the location? OK.

- Tough one. - Yeah...

I have everything ready to go, but...

- Are these Oukinsha's things? - Yeah.

What is this?

This must be Oukinsha's family back in Hong Kong.

I hear the Chinese have an extremely strong affection for parents and siblings.

Take a good hard look.

Because you might never see them again.

10 years is a long time...

And you're already over 50.

The boss is...

Lee... Chushuon.

- What was that? - Lee Chushin.

Lee Chushin... that's the guy they call Sai?

Where does he live?

Nakayamate Street.

Next to the St. Francis Church.

Here.

Here's your milk, Shinya.

Isn't that delicious?

Darling, the soup's getting cold.

Shinya, stop that.

OK, one more bite. Open up...

Eat everything so you grow up big and strong like mommy.

Be careful today.

Reiko...

A while ago, you said you wanted to leave Japan,

and live overseas, isn't that right?

I'm thinking about it.

Shinya.

What's wrong?

- Is this the residence of Mr. Lee Chushin? - Yes.

I'm a narcotics detective.

- Where's Mr. Lee? - I'll take him. - Where's Mr. Lee?!

- Um... he already left. - He left?

- Who's this? - A money collection agent.

- Of what?! - Insurance.

Sorry, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. Please come back tomorrow.

Understood, Ma'am. I'll come back tomorrow.

- So Mr. Lee is at work now? - Correct.

We're going to search the house.

Mama!

Brother, what took you so long?

I have cute girls waiting for us. Gotta celebrate.

Oukinsha spilled the beans.

On March 3rd, two kilos of heroin will arrive at Nagoya port.

- Two kilos? - Yeah.

If the head boss is arrested, all of it will be up for grabs.

No. It's going straight into the narcotics office vault.

Don't look so upset.

I'm giving you all the credit as our informer.

- You'll be sure to receive a bonus. - Forget that crap.

All I want is to see my brother acting like a man.

How 'bout it, brother? A job well done deserves a shot of hormones!

Sorry, but I think I need a nap first.

What's wrong with you?

You can rest all you want when you're dead.

Right, Yumi? Masumi...?

You gotta screw, screw and screw some more while you still can.

Yeah?

My brother? He's here.

It's Chief Kurahashi.

Hello.

Are you kidding me?!

Understood, I'm going right away!

Brother, what's wrong?

Lee Chushin got away.

Damn it!

What's so damn funny?!

Don't you get it? I get to keep my job!

Now my product will keep coming in. Business as usual.

See, brother? Evil never dies. That's Lee Chushin for you.

What?

Detectives. They shouldn't be here...

The newspaper said they were following a false lead.

I don't think it's about the murder. These guys are from the crime prevention division.

We were marked as drug dealers.

Then it's simple. They must be your partners...

G-men are complete strangers to cops.

Cops don't acknowledge undercover investigation work.

As far as they see it, I'm a full-fledged criminal.

What a ridiculous situation. You have it rough too, huh, brother?

OK, whatever.

I have your back, brother. I'll get them off your tail.

- Are you well? - What about you?

I'm fine. How's Shinya?

He's doing well.

Darling... where are you?!

I've caused you a lot of trouble. Please forgive me.

Let's leave Japan together. You and me.

Don't do anything too dangerous, OK?

Yeah. I'm going to play it cool.

I'll keep in contact.

The three of us will definitely escape together.

I miss you already.

Darling...

I miss you too!

Wait just a bit longer. I'll call you soon.

Keep a low profile.

Goodbye.

Darling! Darling!

Let's leave Japan together, you and me.

Chief... should we bring that woman in and make her talk?

Idiot! You really think this woman will break under your interrogation?

What?

I bet the insurance collector you let loose was Lee Chushin himself.

This guy's wife is smarter than the lot of you.

Akutsu... what do you intend to do?

Darling, I miss you too.

Ma'am, please listen.

I'm Ise from Minoura group.

I have an important matter to discuss with your husband.

Tell him to call me at this phone number.

The phone in your house is already bugged. Use a pay phone.

WE HAVE YOUR SON. CALL AT 8 PM.

Mr. Lee, I presume.

This is Ise from Minoura group.

I have someone I want you to meet.

It's my brother, Akutsu Ryusuke.

This is Akutsu.

Don't worry. Your boy is fine.

There's something we need to talk about in person.

That's right, I want the ticket you're holding.

The verification ticket for the 2 kilos of product you got coming into Nagoya harbor.

There we go...

- Take a look. - Why is he crying?

Here you go, have some cake.

Mama!

All your henchmen have been arrested.

In your current state, you're like a daruma doll with no arms or legs.

You see...

Since the G-men are coming for your product anyway,

we're offering to take it off your hands.

We'll pay half-price.

That's right.

I'll return your boy to your wife as soon as the ticket arrives.

I promise.

Send the ticket to: 1 Kitano-cho, Ikuta-ku.

Addressed to Ise Sadao, inside Maeda Mansion.

Write a time and place,

where we can meet on the night of March 3rd.

Come on!

Kita... what's going on here?

Ise.

We just got a call from S-Group's head boss.

10 million for two kilos of product.

I was told to wire the money to a Shinwa Bank account under the name of Yamada.

When the deal's done, we're supposed to get rid of you and Akutsu.

Whatever you've done has really angered some people.

The Chinese are very protective about certain things.

Say...

What exactly did you guys do?

Never mind.

In any case, you teamed up with Akutsu...

To betray the group. That much is clear.

You know how this goes. I'm going to kill you first.

Kita, wait a second!

Don't you want to have the two kilos of product?

- Cut the bullshit already... - This isn't bullshit!

- Akutsu and I are the ones picking it up. - Say what?

Kita... I'm no match for a guy like you.

I'll tell you everything.

On March 3rd, the product is arriving at Nagoya harbor.

We used Li Chushin's child as bait to get the ticket.

Akutsu has that ticket now!

How were you two able to contact Lee?

Send a thief to catch a thief.

Kita...

Akutsu's a G-man.

What?

I was coerced by the Osaka detectives into teaming up with Akutsu.

He's a G-man from Nagoya. He's got a free pass through customs and everything.

Akutsu plans to use the drug trade to arrest Lee Chushin.

As a reward, I get to keep the product for myself.

Naturally, I'm not doing it for my own sake. I'm doing it for the boss.

I wanted to make amends for what happened... so I put on the performance of a lifetime!

Can you take out Akutsu as soon as you get the drugs?

- Why do I have to kill Akutsu? - Since you're going to take the drugs.

You need to kill Akutsu to show the Chinese our loyalty.

If you kill Akutsu, we'll spare your life.

You're a member of the yakuza. It's time to act like it.

There you have it... I'll kill Akutsu.

I'll prove I'm a man... and come back with the prize.

Look forward to it.

What is this?

It's the ticket to pick up 2 kilos of drugs from the Louis' dealer.

I forced Lee to send it to me. It's basically like a wedding invitation.

You're unbelievable.

- When did you meet Lee? - Chief.

I'm going to become a drug courier.

- You're going to give the drugs to Lee? - That's right.

When? Where?

Why won't you tell us?

Akutsu.

Just who the hell do you think you are?

This is my show. I don't want any of you getting in my way.

- What? - Hold on.

Akutsu.

You're a narcotics detective who's going to distribute drugs.

No matter how good the cause, this is a huge issue.

Besides, our reputation hasn't been good lately...

- Is there another way? - Can you arrest Lee with certainty?

If you fail...

It won't be a small mistake. It would ruin everything.

I won't fail.

See you.

NAGOYA

- Hi. - Hi.

Where's the deck boss? I want to see him.

Yeah, follow me.

Boss.

- Wait here. - Yeah.

Brother, are we good?

Boss Yan?

Mr. Lee sent me for you.

NARCOTICS DETECTIVE

Brother, where's the meeting with Lee?

At the container yard on port island.

The meeting's at 5 PM, so we still have 3 hours.

Don't get pulled over by the police for something stupid.

Ise. After this job's done, you're a free man.

Why don't you cut ties with Minoura and start some type of stable business?

Business? Are you joking around?

- Hey, I'm being serious here. - My apologies.

In that case, why don't us buddies open a cozy ramen shop?

We have a suspicious car following us.

Shit!

- They laid a trap. - It's Minoura group.

Brother, pass me my gun.

Go back!

You guys keep looking!

Brother.

Now that the monkey's off our backs, I have a proposition.

What is it?

Let's take these two kilos and make a run for it.

What?

We'll take it and travel abroad.

I'll handle the drugs.

New York, Rome, Paris...

We'll gorge on exquisite foods and sleep with all the women we want.

- That's what you've been thinking about? - Yeah.

- You thought I'd agree to that? - I did. We're brothers after all.

We're two peas in a pod.

- Stop the car! - Why?

I said stop the damn car!

- Out of the way! - What are you doing, brother?

You'll have to die if you can't accept my offer.

I'll ask one more time. Yes or no, what's it gonna be?

If I kill you, I'm free to do whatever I want!

Brother, why won't you listen to me?

Even if you arrest Lee Chushin, drugs won't disappear from Japan.

There are plenty of people lined up to replace him. But we only have one life to live!

Brother, let's make a break for it!

I know what you're saying is true. You're absolutely right.

But I'm a G-man.

I give up.

So that's how it is to fight against the current.

Now that I really think about it...

You never once called me your brother.

The vehicle in question is a green 1943 station wagon.

We're looking for plate number Kobe 44. Next is Nu, as in Numazu. It ends in 25-05.

Ise, jump out while you still can.

- I don't want you to to get involved in this. - Shit!

Brother! I can get these guys off your back!

Brother, let me drive!

Ise.

Live long, brother.

Get off me! Out of my way!

Bastard!

Akutsu Ryusuke! You're under arrest for drug smuggling!

Akutsu Ryusuke! You're under arrest for drug smuggling!

There's still something I have to do!

Lee Chushin is right there!

There's still something I have to do!

Lee Chushin is right there!

I'm a narcotics detective! I'm a G-man!
