All language subtitles for Tokyo Knight 1961 DVDRip

Thank you all for gathering here today

for our ceremony to transfer leadership

to Matsubara Clan's third generation.

Koji Matsubara was studying in the U.S.

at the time of the his father's passing

so he has just now returned from abroad.

He wishes to continue his studies, so I,
unworthy though I am, will aid him.

Though I've surely made many oversights,

I hope you will forgive me and
welcome him to his new position.

Let's applaud him.

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Congratulations

-Where are you going?
-I promised to meet someone.

You're skipping your own ceremony?

-I'll just leave it to the adults.
-You can't leave!

Big brother!

This way, quickly!

Junko! You're in on this?

And how can you call him "big brother?"

He's leading Matsubara Clan now!

Just call me big brother. I don't care
about leading the Matsubara Clan!

Editor: Akira Suzuki

He's late.

Is he really a match for the other team?

His only experience is as a substitute.

But he sounds confident.

More than his body frame would imply.

Maybe he was deceiving you. He could've
disappeared because he couldn't cut it.

We've gotten pretty good ever
since Matsubara joined the team.

Maybe he got good while abroad.

Captain!

Matsubara went to fencing team practice.

-Really?
-Let's go.

Matsubara signed up
for the fencing team, too.

He had to leave
before he could tell you.

I decided to follow him and join, too.

Really?

Thanks for understanding.

Hey, open up!

I said open up!

Forget it, let's go!

Who does he think he is?

Where are you going?

I'm following Matsubara
to kendo practice!

-Really?
-What did you say?

Matsubara has entered
the boxing championship.

Sorry, but I have to go watch.

I'm a member of the music club.
Would you be willing to join us?

You're completely tone-deaf!

Takeko, why aren't you on key?

That must be the most unpleasant
flute-playing in the entire world.

But I thought I was playing it right.

I've heard enough of that
strange-sounding voice of yours.

Take one of these.
It'll make your voice sound better.

Asada Candy? You're mocking me!

You people are impossible.

Let's do this one more time.

-You're the one whose impossible!
-What did you say?

You know, we pay your
salary with our school fees.

You may pay your school fees, but...

it's so painful for me as your
teacher to hear you like this.

Oh, you're back from the US!

What are you doing there?

I heard this music club is first-rate.

What?

Please allow me to join.

Don't make fun of us!
Close that door.

I'm serious.

Please let him join.
As a favor for all of us.

Can you play an instrument?

-Yes, just a little.
-Which one?

-What would you like me to play?
-The piano?

Okay, let's see!

What shall I play?

You'd regret it if I chose
something for you.

Just play something you like.

Regrettably, this is all I can do.

Incredible!

-Who taught you?
-The Jazz Messengers

So you learned from the best?

Why didn't you say so?

You didn't ask me.

Now that you say so, I guess I didn't.

So? Will you let me join?

Don't be ridiculous.
From today, you can just take my place.

What?

-What does your family do, anyway?
-We're in construction.

-Why'd you go to America?
-Oh, lots of reasons.

-Then why did you come back?
-Stop asking so many questions!

I only want to understand you.

Why did you choose Elizabeth Academy?

It's the best school I placed into.
And I like the after school clubs here.

That's the same reason I came here!
We'll be natural friends!

Yuriko! Wait for me!

She's a strange one.

I always offer to help Yuriko home.

Really?

She's also a student at here, but boys
from other schools are after her too.

I'll win her over by
protecting her from them.

You're burdensome, too, you know.

I have respect for beautiful
and strong things.

I'll take you under my care today, too.

Yuriko!

Hey, what're you looking at?

You don't intimidate me.

Good-for-nothing!

I can look at you if I want.

What?

I just do what I want to.
What's wrong with that?

Cheeky bastard! I'll show you!

Teacher! Help! There's a fight!

What? A fight? Sounds exciting!

BOSS'S OFFICE

Mother? You're here too? What is it?

Why'd you run away from
your own ceremony like that?

I promised I'd play in the rugby game.
We won.

This is a problem. The others should see
you aren't an ordinary student.

I don't care about the formalities.

Well, that's a problem.
Here, sit down.

You should recognize that in your place,
there are some things you can't do.

Actually, I'd like a favor.

I'd like some spare parts for
a vehicle.

-You mean a car?
-Yeah.

The frame's fine,
but the engine stalls.

I'm not in a position to deny you that.

This whole company is yours.

Then I'll take one from the warehouse.

-As you wish.
-Thanks.

Are you staying, mother?

Yes. I need to talk to Mr. Mishima.

I see.

I'll wait for you in front.

I'm sorry.
He's always causing you trouble.

Don't worry. I'll get him used
to his new role in no time.

Let me return your seal.

Don't worry about it. Just keep it.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

It's my duty.

We're here!

Welcome home.

We're home.

The head of the lumber company is here.

Oh, Mr. Sakae?

-A friend of yours, mother?
-Yes

I should introduce myself later, then.

Mother...

What happened to the
picture that was here?

I got rid of it.

But it was father's
most prized possession!

But Koji, you have to understand that
it's part of the succession ceremony

I wish you hadn't done it.
It's meaningless.

No, I had to.
Your late father would have insisted.

You're making it hard for
the company management, too.

Making Mr. Mishima run
around so much like this.

I see.

It's hard for you too, isn't it mother?

It's not a problem for me.

But from now on when you see Mr. Mishima
try to be more polite and helpful to him

He's doing his best to help the company.

-Oh, hello!
-Sorry to intrude...

-Were you waiting long?
-Not really.

-Are you well?
-About the same as always.

There is no leisure for the poor.

That's all right,
as long as you're keeping busy.

I still can't believe my father,
who was always so careful...

would die in a traffic accident.

-You aren't making much use of this.
-True.

I was thinking you might come
to the next training session.

No way!
I don't have the confidence!

Why not? That doesn't sound like you.

I'm facing a great number
of difficulties now, though.

Are things not going well with your son?

No, it's not that.

You're going to face the
same things all parents do.

You're going to have difficulty
finding a nice bride for him.

You should extricate him while you can.

Just divide up the company assets.

You don't seem happy at all.

Is there something you're hiding?

What's that sound?

Koji is doing a jazz arrangement
for a noh play at his high school.

What an odd combination.

He's always liked noh.

Sounds interesting.

What do you think of my kimono?

I didn't know that Koji could dance.

He's doing taking up
performing instead of you.

No way.

Hey! You know, you're a
bunch of heartless bastards!

We're too busy to
deal with your complaints.

What's your complaint about
workers doing their job?

What the hell are you doing?

Hey! Stop messing around
and get back to work!

Get going!

I'm very sorry. Please overlook
their embarrassing behavior.

Boy!

Boy!

What's wrong?

What do you mean, "what's wrong?"

What are you doing there, Junko?
Come down!

Hey! Everyone!

The young boss of the Matsubara
clan is here. Let's welcome him!

Hello!

The Tokuta clan?

That's right.

They're muscling their way
into the highway construction here.

Even though long ago, we got a contract
to build the road and hotel alone.

They must be clever.

No, they've just bullied us.

And they have their own workers
building the road at top speed.

They've even gotten the head office
in Tokyo to stop us from building.

Who made you stop?

Isn't it obvious?

It's that bastard Mishima.

Did you say "Mishima?"

Why the hell are we talking about him?

TOKUTA CONSTRUCTION

Shit!

I wonder why Mr. Mishima is doing that.

He just leans on anyone who gets in
his way or asks too many questions.

That's a problem.

Would you just let me drink this?

Do you think you could put
pressure on Mishima for us?

He's under your command,
so he has to do whatever you say.

You can't let him beat us!

Well, I'll see what I can do.

Quickly!

Actually, Jinsaku... I came here to
visit the site of my dad's accident.

Junko!

Try to be quiet.

Let him express his
sympathies to the boss.

Why would father have
come to this place?

That's not something you need
to concern yourself with yet.

It's a problem if the
workers are in danger.

You're intruding where you don't belong.

You should think about something else.

There's something else I wanted to ask.
Why are you stopping construction?

Are you related to the
Tokuta clan somehow?

Listen, boy.

Everything I do is related
to your family business.

It's true that your
family has a few secrets.

Koji!

Do you sing here, too?

What?

Yuriko!

You know Matsubara?

He's in the same class as me.

You're with Tokuta's daughter?

I'm Mishima of the Matsubara clan.

Small world, isn't it?

Young people are all like-minded.

Why don't you two go off together?

Yuriko

Boy, go ahead.

If I may...

Mr. Tokuta. Why so much
trouble halting construction?

Your boys are too
conspicuous at the actual site.

That's how they'll win.

You took us over because you
wanted the dam constructed, right?

Yes, but...

We signed a contract.

You aren't the one taking the risks.

And the bidding price for the
construction is already decided.

Do you come here often?

This is my first time.

I just came because my dad brought me.

I see.

What about you, Mr. Matsubara?

It's my first time too.

I see.

Whenever my father has to meet
someone, he always makes me come back.

His appointment tonight
was with Mr. Mishima, right?

I didn't realize he worked for you.

On the day after the foreman's accident,
a search party looked around the bluff

And he was holding these cufflinks?

Yeah. It wasn't a pretty sight.

Though it's rude to say so.

But I think you should listen
to what you were told yesterday.

What's going on?

Maybe father didn't
go to the bluff at all.

Or someone was with him there.

In that case, I can't give
up finding out the truth.

It looks like someone
removed these forcefully.

In any case, I didn't sell these.

I've checked carefully,
and they aren't from our shop.

These were specially made.

Somehow, they must have been
separated from their owner.

I'm afraid we don't
have more of these.

Do you have the person's name?

Who is it? Please tell me!

Why are you asking?

I need to ask them something.
It's something very important.

Please. If you hide their name,
you might get yourself in trouble.

I cannot violate the privacy
of my valued customers.

I'm very sorry.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Where's mother?

She's in the master's living room.

-Father's?
-Yes.

I'm taking Piako for a walk.

Pia? Piako?

Pia!

Pia!
Piako!

Koji!

Come here, Pia.

It's almost mother's birthday.

What should we get her for a present?

I'd like to talk to you, Koji!

I feel deeply indebted to mother.

Everything with the company...
it's all thanks to Mishima!

Don't worry about it.

Father was thirty years older than you.
I understand.

Please trust that I am doing what's best
for you, regardless of how I feel.

Don't hate me.

I could never love your father,
no matter how much I tried.

In that case, father
should have had a lover, too.

Your whole marriage was a mistake.

But father always seemed so happy.

Please, mother. If there's
someone you love, marry again.

Until now, you've always gone
through such trouble for others.

Don't pay attention to anyone else,
and just do what will make you happy.

The... gardener... digs... in...
the... ground... and... sows... seeds...

I've explained it so many times
and you still don't understand.

Unlike you, I've never
lived outside of Japan.

You still stink of butter.
[An insult for Westernized things]

IN THE GARDEN

Come in.

Your friends are here to see you.

I'll go too.

Junko!

Stay here until you
finish your English homework.

You're mean.

-Hi!
-Hi!

Hi!

Yuriko couldn't make it.

She's lying! I brought an imported
record we can listen to together.

I think you'll like these!

I caught a ride with them.

Such cameraderie!

That girl earlier. Is she your friend?

Who?

The girl who came to see you at school.

That's my little sister.

Oh. I thought you were an only child.

Well, she's like my little sister.

What's that mean?

She's a friend from childhood.

So you're together often?

Yes. She's even here now.

What?

She's studying on the second floor.

Will you introduce us?

She's still just a child.

Isn't it better not to isolate
her from your friends?

Or is it inconvenient for some reason?

You're acting strangely.

I'll go. If you want, you can follow me.

May I have this dance?

Big brother is an IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT

Why'd you call me to this place?

Should I not have?

If someone saw me here,
it could cause me great trouble.

You told Koji something, didn't you?

He was hostile to you?

No.

He said I should get married.

If I find someone I like enough.

He said when I feel comfortable
with the idea, I should remarry.

Well, then.

Is there such a person?

Madam!

I won't leave you.

Koji has been generous to me,
but I myself can't take that plunge.

Don't bore me with such speeches.

I can't seem to find a
good solution with you.

What would the employees or
the competitors say if they knew?

I need you.

It's because of you that I go
to such lengths for the Matsubara clan.

I only care about you.

I've nearly won the bidding war for road
construction with the Tokuta clan.

We'd make a killing off that.

The Matsubara clan could rest easy.

The employees will all be grateful.

That's when we can marry.

Wait!

I understand what
you're saying quite well.

I want to marry you.

But Mr. Mishima...

When I think of Koji, I want to wait
until he reaches full manhood...

No matter how hard it is.

Please don't be angry.

I can't just think
about my own feelings.

Kid!

Kid!

Kid!

Good morning.

It doesn't make any
sense what they're doing.

It's out of the question. They stopped
construction without a word from you.

There's not even a
shred of a reason for it.

I'll talk to Mr. Mishima about it.

About that Mr. Mishima...

He's in cahoots with that thug Tokuta.

What?

He thrust himself in
by fixing the bidding.

It's all about that hotel.

You'll have to think very
carefully about how to take them on.

I got it!

Mishima's partnered with Tokuta as
an accomplice to strike out on his own.

He didn't build up the Matsubara clan
for your sake. He wants to take it over.

-When was the bidding supposed to be?
-Today!

What time?

It's already started!

Yoshida construction will work
for 3,580,000,000 yen!

Matsubara Clan will work
for 3,575,000,000 yen!

Tokuta clan will work
for 3,570,000,000 yen!

That's the last.

We're having a banquet this evening,
and we hope you can make it.

I will. Thank you!

And now, the results of the bidding...

Because the Tokuta clan offered
to work for the lowest price.

they will seize control of construction
from the Matsubara clan.

Wait!

Wait a minute!

The workers have evidence of collusion.

Boy!

What the hell are you saying?

I'll be clear.

Your clan decided how to split up the
road and hotel construction beforehand.

What?

I know you've been colluding!

But...

It's going to turn into
an unpleasant incident.

You'd better redo the
bidding, but fair this time!

As boss of the Matsubara clan,
I demand that you redo the bidding.

It's already been decided!
What do you know, anyway?

Given the objections of the workers,
we should nullify this bidding.

He's completely nuts!

Gentlemen, please calm down!

What is your name?

Koji Matsubara.

I see

In light of these objections, we have no
choice but to put the bidding on hold.

We will keep you informed
of new developments.

Mr. Tokuta!

Boy! What did you do that for?

The Matsubara clan was deep in debt.
Who do you think got us out of it?

I'm grateful to you, Mr. Mishima.

Grateful to me?

It's Mr. Tokuta you should thank!

He very generously offered
to collude on this bidding.

If we don't get this money,
the Matsubara clan will be crushed.

Maybe it's just as well.

If that's what we have to do for
the company to stay alive...

...maybe we should break up the clan!

You don't care if we lay off
hundreds of our employees?

As managing director, I can't allow it!

Mr. Mishima!

Wait!

What if I provide the money myself?

My father left me about a million yen.

That's just loose change.
It won't make a difference.

I can sell the house, sell my property!

Please.

Sever connections with the Tokuta clan!

How odd.

Why do you hate the Tokuta clan so much?

Some employees have mistaken
Tokuta's shady tactics for yours.

I'd like to show them that you're
a decent business manager.

For my mother's sake.

So that it won't be embarrassing
for her to be with you.

You're too late.
You've already humiliated me publicly.

Wait!

After that display, I'll never recover
the respect of my fellow traders.

Why couldn't you just
have had confidence in me?

All you've ever done is deceive me!

Mr. Mishima!

What are you doing?

Stop it!

If my mother didn't like you,
I'd beat you down!

Stop it, Koji!

Mr. Mishima's done more
for us than anyone!

I know everything!

For my sake, please don't
cause him trouble!

I know all about his business dealings.

There was no way for the Matsubara
clan to survive but to join with Tokuta!

Please understand for me!

Madam!

You don't care if we lay off
hundreds of our employees?

There was no way for the Matsubara
clan to survive but to join with Tokuta!

Please understand for me!

Mother!

I know I'm not wrong.

But what mother said...

Maybe it's best to apologize to Tokuta.

I see.

Well, as long as we
understand each other.

I also have the Matsubara
clan's best interests in mind.

I'm very sorry.

I hope that you will accept my apology.

Let's let bygones be bygones.

But I have to consider my reputation.

There will be another bidding soon...

At that time, you must give
me your unconditional approval.

I will.

I'm also doing it as a favor to
Mr. Mishima and my mother.

How about it? Shall we eat together?

Oh, I don't know...

Think nothing of it.

You'll be going in your role as the
young boss of the Matsubara clan.

Allow me!

No, I can't drink.

Oh, just drink it!

What's this? Is the young boss of
the Matsubara clan a crybaby?

Drink it!

You should surround yourself with more
women to wine and dine you like this.

What?

Hey, waiter!

It's for Mr. Tokuta.

It's no good.

No matter how much we give
him, he doesn't get drunk.

-Give him another.
-Okay.

Here you go!

He said he'd have his seal with him,
but we can't take it 'til he falls over.

That's how we can put him in debt to us.

Perhaps we'll have to use the
same method that Mishima did.

You have nice cufflinks.

Huh?

Those ones.

All the "kourousha" of the
Tokuta clan wear them.

What's a "kourousha?"

It's like a top manager.

There are only four of us who have them.

Father must have been
killed by one of those four.

Whoever it was, their one
remaining cufflink must be damaged.

Young master.

I'd like to take you
someplace interesting.

Well? How do you like it?

I'm no good at this.

As long as you're here,
you have to try it.

I have no money.

I'll loan you as much as you need.

Please, be our guest!

This chip is worth 10,000 yen.

I'll loan you up to a hundred of them,
and you can play as you like.

You don't seem to be doing very well.

Loan him some more chips.

Here you go!

Mr. Tokuta.
How about letting me shuffle?

May I take them?

I don't like using my hands in this way.

Even if it's easy for
types like you or Mr. Mishima.

I naturally reject colluding with
you on the contract bidding.

Excuse me.

Is it really okay to let
him go like this, boss?

You could leave him to me if you'd like.

It can't be known that someone got away
with opposing the Tokuta clan like this.

And Mary said:
"My soul doth magnify the lord..."

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God...

Leads up here!

Everyone form two lines!

Quickly, get in formation!

Ready!

Advance!

Nice voice!

Why don't we have one like that here?

There's trouble! It's an attack!

Yuriko!

Wait! Everyone!

What are you doing?

Nothing at all.
We've just come to say hi.

What the hell?

This asshole!

Stop!

We all accept your invitation.

What'd you say?

This is the last thing
you'll ever think about!

Asshole!

Tell your boss if he wants to get me,
he'll have to use better men than you!

Shit!

Attack!

Koji!

Don't hurt her!

This is the first such
incident at this school!

Everything that happened here is
your responsibility, Mr. Matsubara!

I'm very sorry.

No, I will not stand for it anymore!

Violence will not be
permitted in the school!

You think it's a gang?
This is a misunderstanding.

In the name of the lord...

I expel you from this school!

Mr. Matsubara!

You're expelling me?

It's expulsion!

I'm Yuriko Tokuta, a third-
year student in the A-class.

What is it?

This wasn't Matsubara's fault at all.

It's my father's!

What are you saying?

I understand now.

My father sent those men after you
for getting in the way of his business!

-You mean your father's in a gang?
-That's right!

Oh! No!

I take full responsibility!

Please rescind Matsubara's expulsion.

Don't say ridiculous things!

That's all right.

This way my father will be given notice.

Principal, please!

All right!

I don't like conflict.

I'll expel both you and Matsubara!

That's idiotic!

It's my fault!

I take full responsibility on my own.

Get out!

She's expelling him
for causing the fight!

What? That's unbelievable!

Wait a minute!

What are you saying?

Why are the children responsible
for a fight their families started?

I've never heard of such a thing!

I can't even understand you
with your terrible Japanese!

I learned Japanese from a Tokyoite!

At any rate, neither one of them
is responsible for this fighting!

They're being harrassed by a gang!

No!

I cannot permit fighting,
whatever the reason!

When the ringleaders attend
my school, it becomes my problem!

They were only fighting to protect
this school and the female students!

You're awful!

Get lost!

If you aren't careful, I'll hold
you responsible for this too!

What'd you say, you old spinster!

Spinster?

Yes, spinster!

All right. I'll quit for you.

I'll happily quit!

But remember this:

You'll lose control of the
school if you don't heed me.

Look at them!

Principal! Quit! Principal! Quit!

What are you doing?

Who put them up to this?

Are you threatening me with them?

What will it be, Sister Elizabeth?

Will you rescind Matsubara's expulsion?

Or will you be stubborn?
You have to choose!

No! No!

I'm sorry.

I'm embarrassed...

...for what my father's doing.

We may have to become enemies.

You have a quarrel with my father?

Please. Tell me.

I can't tell you now.

I don't want to talk about it.

I understand.

I understand what you're thinking.

Whatever it is, I won't be shocked.

But whatever happens, please
promise we'll still be friends.

Receiver 70... Receiver 70

Testing... testing...

Receiver 70... Receiver 70...

Is this light okay?

Yes, thanks.

Welcome!

Here.

For that guest's table.

I see.

Sorry doesn't cut it, Mr. Mishima.

I lent you 10,000,000 yen personally.

As for the Matsubara clan...

The young boss has thrown our plans into
disarray. How will you handle him?

Tomorrow, I'll make sure that you
regain face at the new contract bidding.

Are you sure you can?

I have his mother's seal.

With that, I can do whatever I want.

I've completely won that woman over.

In that case, I'll put my trust
in you again, one last time.

In exchange, after you've
destroyed the Matsubara clan...

Don't worry. I have a good post for you.

After all, you even have
the official cufflinks.

You distrust me?

No, not at all!

I'm very sorry.

You were the one who lured out the last
leader of the Matsubara clan to a cliff.

So there's no way you
can extricate yourself now.

You know too much.

Damn!

What kind of prank was that?

I've heard that the previous head of the
Matsubara clan enjoyed performing Noh.

So it's just Koji pestering us?

That seems likely.

Boss!

Only a boy would come up
with such a stupid prank!

But there's no reason that Koji would
go after your cufflinks, is there?

Boss!

Didn't the old head grab your old cuff-
links when you pushed him off the cliff?

And you had to get new ones?

Idiot!

Even if he heard about the cufflinks,
how'd he know they were ours?

Actually, boss...

That boy did ask me about my cufflinks.

What?

He asked how I got them.

-And did you tell him?
-Yes.

I'm sorry.

It didn't think that's
why he was asking.

Idiot!

Leave him alone!

It's not like he can do
anything with those cufflinks.

But boss!

Our only concern right
now is the contract bidding.

Mishima will fix it for us again.

We'll take care of that
little greenhorn after that.

I thought we could have tea together.

Mother.

What is it?

Why are you always collecting
that same kind of cufflinks?

Somehow, I think I've
seen them somewhere before.

It's nothing.

Mr. Mishima called
earlier to ask for my seal.

Would you like some lemon in yours?

I thought I'd hand them over to him...

I thought it'd be better
if you gave it yourself.

Here it is.

I hope you'll do it to improve your
relationship with Mr. Mishima.

For my sake.

I know how you feel, mother.

But there's something I should
tell you about Mr. Mishima.

There is?

This is delicious.
Did you make it?

Yes.

Oh, right.

I brought you a present, mother.

I wonder what it could be.

It's for your birthday.

You must be so exhausted from
worrying about the company so much.

I wanted you to go on a trip
for a few days from tomorrow.

Thank you.

I'll take care of the company
matters so you can rest easy.

I'm so grateful.

I've been thinking about getting
away to think things over myself, too.

There's something else I was going
to do for you when you got back.

I see.

Listen, mother. I think building
roads gives a man a purpose in life.

So I've decided to make the Matsubara
clan do useful things like that.

Who is it?

Telephone call from Araki-cho district.

I see.

Is it Ms. Sakae? This could be bad.

Why is it a problem?

If I go, I won't get a chance to see
your dance I've heard so much about.

What? You don't need to be there.

It's all right.
You can come if you want.

Really, Koji?

You don't mind?

Thanks.

It's wonderful!

If your father could see it, his nose
would be dripping from excitement!

You'll miss your train if you
don't go soon, mother.

I can't leave before your scene.

I don't think I can
dance with you watching.

It worries me when
you say things like that.

Please, mother. You need to get going.

Yes, yes.

This is Mr. Tokuta's daughter.

I'm Koji's mother.

Nice to meet you.

I came because Koji called me.

I've a favor to ask of you.

Just a minute.

There's something I'd like
you to look after for me.

It's my seal.

Look after it not as Tokuta's daughter,
but as my most trustworthy friend.

I'll look after it.

I didn't realize you had so
much faith in me as a friend.

We promised we'd always
be friends, didn't we?

I'm very happy.

Please look after it well.

I will.

You know, my father's coming, too.

Yuriko, would you like to go to France?

Our merger with the Matsubara
clan will be announced today.

As long as it works out,
I can send you to study there.

-You're merging with Koji's company?
-Yes.

I'm just waiting for his seal.

Mr. Mishima should
be bringing it over now.

Mr. Mishima!

We have a problem, ma'am. The bidding
begins at 2, but I don't have your seal.

What?

We only have another hour!

Please, hand it over now!

I have her seal, Mr. Mishima.

And I'm not giving it to you.

What did you say?

What are you saying, Koji?

I only gave you my seal so that you
could give it to Mr. Mishima yourself!

Would you mind stepping outside, Junko?

Junko!

I don't know what the hell
you think you're doing, boy, but...

if we don't get this deal at the bidding
the Matsubara clan will get shut out.

Please do what Mr. Matsubara says!
Give him the seal as he asks!

What will we do if the
Matsubara clan is shut out?

Please leave now. I'll get back
my seal and give it to you.

Stop it, mother!

I'm not buying those threats.

The problem is Mishima alone.

What are you saying, Koji?

I didn't want to have
to tell you this, mother...

That's why I tried to
send you on a trip tonight!

That man is inhuman! He's evil!

Tomorrow, I'll make sure that you
regain face at the new contract bidding.

Are you sure you can?

I have his mother's seal.

With that, I can do whatever I want.

I've completely won that woman over.

In that case, I'll put my trust
in you again, one last time.

In exchange, after you've
destroyed the Matsubara clan...

Don't worry. I have a good post for you.

After all, you even have
the official cufflinks.

I didn't want you to
have to hear that, mother.

No matter how far someone has fallen,
they are able to redeem themselves.

Please turn yourself in to the police.

Wait! Wait!

I didn't kill the old boss.

Tokuta did.

Tokuta pushed him off!

I know that.

Tokuta threatened me so I'd
take the boss out to the bluff.

It's true!

If I'd known he was going to kill
the boss, I'd wouldn't have done it!

Please!

Believe me!

Please!

Everything I said to Tokuta was a lie.

I was only looking out for the company!

I only fixed the bidding
with him to protect us!

Mr. Mishima! You're unsightly!

I'm telling the truth!

Please listen to your mother, Koji.
She understands my feelings well.

Get out!

When I look at you, I feel humiliated!

Madam!

Get out! And don't ever show your
face in front of my mother again!

Mother.

I'm sorry.

It's almost time for your
scene, big brother.

You should get ready.

Now I can stay to watch you.

I'll be back.

Give me that tape!

Were you planning to
give me to the police?

I don't know!

You lured out the old boss of
the Matsubara clan to a cliff.

So there's no way you
can extricate yourself now.

Mother's in trouble! They're
threatening her! She's in danger!

Where are you taking them?

Your father killed Koji's father!

They lured him to a cliff and pushed
him off so it'd look like an accident!

Your father is a murderer!

Do you believe that girl?

She doesn't have a shred of evidence!

Is it true?

Koji's tape recorder...

Papa!

What will you do to them?

Yuriko, I could never do anything bad.
You know that, right?

As long as Koji keeps his promise,
everything will be fine!

That's all.

As long as you get Koji's seal?

Yes! As long as I get his seal,
this whole affair can end!

Papa!

Will we kill them?

We have to for our own survival.

What if we use the same method
as with the old Matsubara boss?

We could lock these two women
in the car and push it off the cliff.

The police would think
they accidentally drove off.

Shoji will take care of the son.

Where did Matsubara go?

What's wrong?

Umm....

Here, Mishima!

Hey!

Where do you think you're going?

All right, let's go!

What happened?

-Something's down there!
-What?

Why are you so hesitant?

Get Koji, quickly!

Junko! Junko!

Junko! Junko!

Koji!

Mother!

Mother!

Look out!

Papa, stop it! Please!

For my sake, stop doing
these awful things!

Madam, what are you doing?

Papa!

Koji gave the seal to me.

If you want it, I can give it to you.

But what will you do?

Once you get the seal, what will you do?

Papa!

Please confess your crimes to the police

Please! Turn yourself in!

The police are coming!

I told them everything!

Look out!

Papa!

I'm the one who cornered your father.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I'm sorry.

It would be better if I could suffer
this unhappiness on my own.

Please forgive my father, Koji.

It looks like Yuriko isn't coming.

She's here!

Yuriko isn't here, is she?

Shall we begin practice?

Who will play the guitar?

You don't understand
our feelings, teacher!

No, I understand.

I understand well.

Friendship is the same in Japan,
America, and everywhere else.

We were all hoping you would come.

Thank you.

Well, then. Let's start practicing!

THE END
