YOKOMITSU TRADING COMPANY

- "Just like udon noodles, but it is not udon...

- "Just like soba noodles, but it is not soba...

YOKOMITSU TRADING COMPANY - "Just like soba noodles, but it is not soba...

- "Just like soba noodles, but it is not soba...

"Just like somen noodles, but it is not somen."

- What is going on?

- Don't be so hasty.

You can't cash a bad bill so quickly.

- "Tokoroten jelly. Tokoroten jel..."

- But it's been three months.

- Mr. Amagishi, didn't you give up on cashing that bill once?

- Where is Mr. Komatsu?

- Chief? He is taking a day off.

- Yeah. Yes! Chief is taking a day off.

- Hello. Yes, boss?

- Ryuta, I need to talk to you.

Yes, at my house. Kurozaki is here, too.

- I promised my kid to visit him in the hospital today. Is tomorrow...

What?

- I said I need to see you now.

- Boss, Ryuta has a swelled head because of the money he earned.

- That's all right. He is a reasonable man. He's different from his younger brother Mineo.

YOKOMITSU

- I don't know how you feel about this, but I don't like educated men.

- Ryuta is still useful.

- But...

- Listen, nowadays using only rough methods like yours, does not work.

- Boss, what did you want to talk to me about?

- Sit down.

How is Amagishi's bill?

- I am letting it cool.

It can be cashed now, but I am considering the police.

- Yes. It is better to wait.

- Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?

- Seen your younger brother, Mineo?

- No, I have seldom seen him.

Something happened to Mineo?

- I don't know what he's thinking, but he is singing in Shinjuku.

- Singing?

- On top of that,

he sings at a jazz club very close to the restaurant where the witness works.

With a stage name, "Eddie Mineo". That makes me laugh.

- Darling, I'm going home.

- I will see you at the club tonight.

- Okay. Bye.

- Komatsu, make him quit right away!

- The public excitement over the murder case just started to cool down.

You must be aware that now is a very crucial time.

Nothing is wrong about singing,

but he can't expose his face to the public.

Go see Mineo and tell him.

- Yes... Bye.

- Listen.

I hope you will lecture him well what will be the consequence for an act of treachery.

- Drive me to my apartment.

What's wrong?

- Please return the car to the office.

- Ryuta...

Today's performance: Jimmy Takeda and the Wagon Stars, featuring Oume Nami and Eddie Mineo

Today's performance: Jimmy Takeda and the Wagon Stars, featuring Oume Nami and Eddie Mineo - "The road illuminated by the headlights is the road for a desperate man...

- "The road illuminated by the headlights is the road for a desperate man...

Damn the intersection!

Left or right?

"Right blinker is broken and hell is on the left."

"Being irritated and stepping on the gas pedal...

"My dreams are turning away...

"If it's a red light, it is even...

"It's a broken blinker after all...

"Nothing goes straight."

- Are you grumbling to customers?

How filthy!

- Hey, say something!

= "One, two... one, two, three, four...

"The neon signs on the streets have a sulky look."

- "The neon signs on the streets have a sulky look...

"Life is miserable. There are all sorts of..."

- Want to ride in an ambulance?

- A hearse would be fine, too.

Well?

- "With the broken blinker, I keep living my life."

- Okay. Let's go.

- Ouch.

- Stop the silly harassment.

- Take this!

- It annoys customers.

- What?

Are you going to set yourself against the Yokomitsu family?

- What? Yokomitsu?

- You must be a stranger. - He must be a fake.

- Pay your bill and go home!

- You bastard!

- Brother Komatsu!

- Ken.

- I'm sorry about them. They're new faces.

- Did Kurozaki send them?

- Well... - Are you here to help them?

- No, please stop joking. I'm on business.

No, it isn't about you. Please come this way.

- Ouch!

- "Today is a fine day. Today is a fine day."

- Ah, Yoko! You are here.

- Yes. I had today off.

- I heard those punks were in the audience again.

- It was only a pinprick. I'm not bothered by those hooligans.

- That's right. If they do that to me, I will crush them with my fingers.

- Mineo-san, someone's here. - What?

- "Autumn mist wets my eyes."

- Ah, it's you, brother.

- Yes.

I need to talk to you. Let's get outside for a little while.

- Finally, they sent you.

- Stop singing.

- It's about that, as I thought.

- Your composite photographs are being distributed like handbills.

- That does not look like me at all.

- The girl who witnessed you works at a nearby restaurant.

- She must have forgotten my face by now.

- Who can guarantee that? Stop appearing on the stage.

- No! I will never stop.

- Mineo, can't you understand?

- You're the one who can't understand me.

I want to go straight.

- Go straight?

It's not easy to quit your life of crime.

Listen, Mineo. Do you know what would happen to you if you keep singing?

I came here only because I have your best interests at heart.

- That's a lie. You came because you're in danger yourself.

You're a coward, brother!

- What?

- Brother, can your son walk now?

At heart, you want to go straight for your son, too.

You are lying to yourself.

Brother!

- I will see you tomorrow. Think hard until then.

- Hey Mineo. I need you to come with me.

- How about that man?

- No, he was more handsome, like a movie star.

- Well, it looks as if this guy is innocent.

So he is a handsome man, like a movie star...

- Yes, he was.

- It's been half a year. Are you sure you haven't forgotten his face?

- No way. I have an excellent memory.

- Is that right? I will be back again.

- Thank you.

Kana, come here.

You'd better tell him that you have forgotten.

- Why is that?

- You don't want to get involved in things like that.

- Please take me there.

- But they charge ¥100 for a cup of coffee. Let's split the cost.

- Stingy! That's fine!

- What are you angry about?

- He's too cheap to pay ¥100 for coffee.

How stingy. - Where's that?

- High-Teen.

- Oh! Take me there, too.

KASHIMURA AUTO REPAIR SHOP

- Kashimura, what is that?

- That's the car from the last time.

- Idiot!

That car may supply a clue to the police.

Why didn't you take it apart?

- But that car is still...

- Make it a junked car. It's easy for you to do that.

- Mr. Kurozaki!

- Why are you looking at me like that?

- Please give me a break.

- Don't be silly.

Did you forget about the past already?

- But I paid you back what I owed.

- Yes, that's true,

but if you didn't have that money then, this shop was junk a long time ago.

You should never forget that.

I begged my boss on your behalf to make use of your shop for times like this.

- I am grateful for that...

- No, you're not!

- What do you want me to do?

- Just do as the stockholder tells you.

Kashimura, we'll borrow your shop for a while.

- What will you do?

- We're not going to destroy it.

Just watch, you may learn something.

Are you going to insist on disobeying?

- I am not disobeying.

- Then, quit singing.

- No.

- That is a strong attitude.

You are just like your older brother.

Hey! I will not be soft on you like Ryuta.

- Damn it!

Are you going to kill me?

Kill me if you dare.

You won't get away with it.

I wrote a letter exposing everything about the Nishiwaki murder case!

If I die, the letter will be delivered to the police!

Kill me. Kill me if you can!

All of you will be nabbed.

Go ahead. Kill me.. Kill me! Kill me..!!!

- What did Mineo say?

- He is being stubborn.

I'll see him again tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

Kurozaki is saying that he will take care of it without you.

I am holding him back for now. But we never know how this will end up.

This may end up like Ishiyama or the crippled Sankichi.

Ishiyama escaped and went to prison.

You had to rub out Sankichi the cripple in Hokkaido.

Succeeding in a singing career and winning young girls' praise has no meaning

if you end up like Sankichi.

- I will talk to him tomorrow.

- Yes.

Yes. Oh, Kurozaki.

How was it? What? A letter?

- Everyone seems so happy.

They are all healthy kids.

- Brother, you want to take Shinichi here, don't you?

- More importantly, did you make up your mind to quit singing?

- I gave you my answer yesterday.

- Are you going to insist on singing?

Just think. If you get nabbed, everyone in the gang will be in danger.

- Brother, I am only an underling. I know nothing.

The shooter was a drifter named Goro. I was only the driver.

- You know enough. You got in too deep to quit the underworld.

- Brother, please let me quit the underworld.

I think I am at the turning point of my life.

- Wait for the right time. I will find you a good job.

- It won't happen. I will never get an honest job.

The world will have nothing to do with a man like me. But only singing gives me any hope.

- Mineo.

You know what happened to Ishiyama and crippled Sankichi, don't you?

Even if I let you pass, other men will not.

What happened?

- Kurozaki did it.

- Kurozaki?

You won't escape with just that.

- I have my own plan.

- What plan?

- To protect myself, I am going to write a letter exposing the Yokomitsu Family.

- Idiot! If you do that...

- If they kill me, the letter will be delivered to the police.

- Stop that childish trick.

- No, I will do that.

Brother, I wonder how our aunt in Sugamo is doing?

- Why ask?

- I just remembered the time she took me here.

- She took you here?

I was afraid of that aunt. She always denounced me as a juvenile delinquent.

- Is that right? I want to see her once sometime.

- Let's go.

- Ah, your father is here.

- Really? Papa!

Papa! Papa!

- Shinichi, you can walk much better now.

- Yes.

- That's great.

- Welcome.

- Thank you for looking after my son.

- Shinichi has been waiting for you eagerly.

You must be happy now.

- Yes. You promised, but you did not come to see me for a long time.

- I am sorry. I've been really busy.

Oh, here.

- Ah! It's Robbie! - Yes.

- Thank you, papa.

- Shinichi! - Ah! Uncle Mineo!

- Oh! You got something really nice. Let me see.

Oh!

- I never expected him to walk like this. It is entirely thanks to you.

- I am only being a good friend to children.

- Come on, come on.

- Be careful. - Come closer! Come closer!

Come on, come on. - It is going under.

- Come on.

- This part of the nerve system is damaged.

- I see. So he'll be disabled for life?

- Yes.

All we can do is to make him gain confidence in himself and avoid letting him grow timid.

Loving and caring will be the best help to achieve that.

Let's go.

- Sumiko-san. - Yes.

- This is for you.

- You don't need to do that. You just gave me a gift recently.

- Please, it is just a token of my appreciation.

- Boss, this is the take from these clubs: "Blue Queen", "Shun-en", and "Moon Star".

- One from the "Silver" is not ready?

- If they are going to be late with payment, we need to send someone.

- Let's send Kurozaki.

- No, boss. He is not good for that. He smashes everything.

Komatsu Ryuta would be better than Kurozaki. He is an understanding man.

- Understanding? Sometimes that is not a good thing.

- Komatsu! Did you see Mineo... well?

- Brother, Ishiyama is getting out of prison tomorrow.

- What? Ishiyama is? He is finally getting out.

Boss, Ishiyama is getting out.

- What is your schedule like?

- I am going to settle the case of that sheet-metal company tomorrow.

- I see.

Ryuta, go and meet Ishiyama.

- Eh? Yes.

- Take Ken with you.

- Listen, take him to the usual auto-repair shop.

- Yes.

- Will that be okay with the owner of the shop?

- He's a big man but has no backbone. Besides Kiyoshi is looking out.

- Ishiyama is suffering from a chest disease. Why don't you give him a break?

- What?

He declared war against us after his release.

We must teach the traitor a lesson. Isn't that right?

- Use your discretion.

By the way, how is Mineo? Is he going to quit singing?

- Yes, he will sometime...

- Sometime? He must quit now!

- Kurozaki-san, I heard you disciplined him yesterday.

- So what?

- I don't want you to meddle in his affairs. He will be more stubborn.

- Komatsu, don't be too conceited because the boss is treating you kindly.

- Wait. Ryuta.

Even though he's your brother, we may have to deal with it against your wishes.

- Yes. But please give me a little more time.

- What? Okay.

- It must be lots of trouble to have good-for-nothings.

- Good-for-nothings?

- That's right.

- Say it clearly.

- Both your brother and your son are.

Damn it! I am tired of you boasting about your education.

I am the one who oversees the Yokomitsu family!

Come on! I always wanted to settle this.

Ouch!

Bastard!

Ah! Please let me go.

- Idiot! Why don't you cool down?

- What's the matter? Are you all right?

- How is Kurozaki?

- He's resting in my office.

Boss, I need Komatsu's help tonight.

- For the Costello case?

- Yes.

- That's fine.

- Sudo-san. What is it?

- This outlaw foreigner, Costello opened a casino in Azabu.

- Again?

- We can't let those foreigners intrude into our territory and steal our revenue source.

- Only you two are going?

- That's enough if Komatsu is coming along.

- Who is it?!

- Mineo-san.

- Ah, it's you, Yoko!

- When I got here earlier, someone was here.

- Who was it?

- I don't know.

He was looking for something with a flashlight.

I got scared...

- They were looking for the letter.

- The letter?

- They'll never find since it has not been written yet.

- Mineo-san, let's go to the police.

- No. I can't tell anything to the police. My brother and I are from the underworld.

- But if you ask the police...

- If we do that, you will be in danger too.

You don't understand how brutal they are.

The police do not have enough resources to protect us for life.

In the worst case, we will be killed like crippled Sankichi.

- Mineo-san.

- But I won't be defeated. Never!

- I am scared.

- Yoko, do you want to stay over tonight?

- Stop cheating.

- Cheating? What do you mean?

- What is this?

- Where's your boss?

- Who are you?

- I'm from Yokomitsu.

- Please have a seat.

- Are you Costello?

- Yes, it is nice to meet you. Please sit down.

Thank you for your hard work.

- Hey, hey. We're not here to extort.

What is this?

- It wasn't enough? Then...

- Wait!

- What do you want?

- We want you to stop the roulette games.

- Roulette?

- Even foreigners should know the rules of the Yakuza.

- Go continue the game.

- We don't want you to break into our territory.

- Mario, serve some drinks for our guests.

Please.

- Hey! Don't you understand?

- You understand this better, don't you?

I am sorry but that pistol is empty.

The Costello team wins this game.

- Well, we don't know yet.

- Shut up! Go back and sit down.

- Raise your arms.

- Close the gambling room tonight.

This is heavy.

Don't just watch. Why don't you help.

- What are you going to do? You're not helping?

What are you going to do, bastards?!

- One, Two, Three!

What? You came to meet us?

- How was it?

- All right.

- We are relatives of Ishiyama who is going to be released today.

- Ishiyama's? - Yes.

- Hello. This is the front gate.

Yes.

- Brother, Ishiyama knew that we were coming.

- What?

- His father came stealthily and took him.

- Get in.

- Hey, who do you think we are? Where is the president?

- As I told you before, he has high blood pressure... and...

- Don't talk rubbish!

Hey, we are not extorting money.

Look at this.

We have a collection letter from the creditor's attorney!

- Yes, I understand. Ah!

- Excuse us.

- Who are you?

- My name is Komatsu.

I heard that Ishiyama is back. Isn't he home?

- He came back.

- We would like to see him.

- As soon as he came home,

he took poison and died.

- Poison...

- You guys killed him. You killed him!

= Wait, wait!

- Please take this.

- What is this?

- A funeral offering.

- My dead son will not accept your sympathy!

Go back!

- We did not do anything to him.

- This...! Read this..!!!

- "Either bring the boss down or get myself killed...

"I took too big a gamble. It's a big laugh.

"It's been a thirty year long spree."

- Go back right now!

- "Because tonight is Saturday night..."

= "That's right, that girl is Bebe of Ginza. Bebe, Bebe, Bebe..."

- "Men in the town throw their cigarettes and whistle at cool Bebe."

= "That's right, they whistle at Bebe."

- "With a red belt on, Bebe... and...

- There! That's a good table.

- Only coffee, all right?

- You are so cheap!

- "High Teen queen loves the Ginza."

= "That's right, that girl is Bebe of Ginza. Bebe, Bebe, Bebe!"

- Look, Eddie is singing.

Eddie! - Eddie-san!

Oh...

- "The red sunset in Texas...

"A red flower was blooming."

- Ah, he is so great!

Please change seats, Takebo.

- Is the shop okay?

- I don't care about the shop now!

- Red lips...

"Hey, if you remember, pick it up."

- What's the matter, Kana-chan?

Your eyes are wide open like headlights. Are you completely fascinated?

- No, I know I have seen him somewhere before.

- You must be joking.

Eddie would never come to eat ¥35 ramen noodles.

- That's not where I saw him.

Eh, where was that?

- "I can't forget."

- I can't remember...

- "It's a big laugh. It's been thirty year long spree." I like that.

Ryuta, what's the matter?

Ishiyama decided his own fate. He brought it on himself.

- I am thinking about his father.

- It is out of your character to have mercy.

- His father is not guilty of anything.

- Phone call for you.

- Boss, we have a problem.

No, it is not about the sheet-metal company.

That girl witness seems to be aware of Mineo now.

She does not seem to be sure about it yet. But if she tells the police, we are in trouble.

We should do something about it quickly.

- All right, I got it.

Ryuta, go see Kurozaki.

- What happened?

- You'll know when you get there. He's at Kashimura's auto-repair shop.

- These are fake plates.

- That's nothing to be astonished about.

- What do I do with these?

- Don't grumble about it and just put them on.

- No!

Kurozaki-san, last time you said it would be the final favor.

Please. I don't want to get involved anymore!

- What did you say?

You can't pull out now.

You are now one of us.

- No, that's a lie! I didn't do anything and I know nothing!

- That's right. That's the way you should be.

Go ahead and put them on.

To report to the police call 110. Fire and ambulance, call 119 Go ahead and put them on.

To report to the police call 110. Fire and ambulance, call 119

Listen, don't you ever think about going to the police.

Don't forget that they would protect you for only 24 hours at the most.

Komatsu, because of your hesitation,

the girl at the restaurant noticed Mineo.

- What?

- That's your fault.

Where are you going?

- To see Mineo.

- You can do it later. I can't let you handle that.

Find an out-of-work driver now. We have to deal with that girl first.

- Then...

- You did a fine job with the crippled fellow.

I prepared a car right here.

- Wait a while.

Isn't that a hasty decision?

- I don't want to hear you grumbling. That's the boss's order.

- I will talk to the boss directly.

- Are you saying that you can't follow my order?

Hey, did you understand?

Wait Komatsu!

- Don't resort to violence!

- What?! Ouch!

- Bastard!

- I don't want to fight.

- I say no to your request.

- Why did you call me out to a place like this?

- The girl from the restaurant noticed you.

- What?!

Is that right? They've finally caught up.

- It's not somebody else's business. You will be the next.

- So the girl was killed?

- You need to hide yourself now.

- They can't touch me.

- What?

- The letter counts.

- Idiot! Stop talking about childish trickery.

Who would keep that dangerous letter for you?

Do you have an attorney? Do you have a trust account in a bank?

- That's all right. I am desperate, too.

We'll find out if that will really be childish trickery!

- Mineo!

- I have to go. It's showtime.

- Are you still going to sing?

- Are you Koyama?

This is the cash. You know what to do?

I've made all the arrangements.

- Tomi-chan! - Yes.

Are you still fascinated?

- Be quiet! It's nothing like that.

I saw him somewhere before for sure. Ah, where was that?

- You are weak here.

- That's not true.

Oh! I know!

I will think about it in the restroom.

- Kana-chan, we have a customer.

- Yes.

Welcome. What would you like?

Ah... What would you like?

- Whisky. Give me the bottle.

- Yes.

- Don't drink in desperation.

- Brother... Drinking in desperation is bad?

I am holding a wake.

- A wake?

- Ishiyama died.

And another one will be killed tonight. An innocent girl!

- Hey, that's enough.

- Are you okay with that?

I can't stand it anymore.

There's neither righteousness nor rules among mobsters.

They just make up their reasons.

At the boss's whim, people are hurt or killed.

- Stop it. It's not like you.

- No!

No... No..!!!

- Ryuta, what's the matter?

- Leave me alone.

- You shouldn't drink like that.

- Rie-san, you are always kind.

- I don't fall into that trap.

Let's leave here and sober up.

- No, I am going to have one more.

Hey! Hey!

- Look out!

- Take care.

- Good-bye.

- The girl at the restaurant is only... sixteen years old.

- Ryuta...

- I am all right.

- Come on.

- It's all right.

Water.

- Yes, yes.

- Poor girl...

The only witness for the Nishiwaki murder case was hit by a car and died instantly. Was it done by someone related to the Nishiwaki case?

- Mineo-san, here is your coffee.

- Yeah.

- What are you reading?

Oh, is it a hit and run?

- They killed her.

Damn it. Am I the next victim?

- Please turn yourself in.

- Surrender?

That won't save my life.

I'm all right.

I am not that careless. All right?

Well...

- If you can't surrender, please run away.

Mineo-san, it is not just two of us anymore.

- What?

Yoko, are we having a baby?

- Please, let's run away together.

- It won't do any good.

- It's better than waiting to be killed!

- I'll turn myself in.

- Really?

- Yes. Let's go to the police station together after singing the last song.

- Really?!

So she said that she had seen the singer named Eddie for sure.

- Yes.

- At which club?

- High-Teen.

- I see.

Is there anything else you can tell me?

- No. nothing really.

- Can you think of anything?

- Well...

- Is there something?

- No, not really.

- Many cars are brought to a repair-shop afterwards.

- Not this repair-shop. Go ask at the other shops.

- This is the tenth shop I have visited.

- Really. I still can't think of anything.

- It is strange.

Isn't there something?

What about that car? - What?

- This car came from a driving-club.

A couple was doing "it" while driving and crashed at a sharp turn.

- Kashimura-san, we need cooperation from people like you for our investigations.

The police will make sure that there won't be any trouble for you afterwards.

- Er...

How about some tea over there.

- No, thank you.

- The cops found out about Mineo at the restaurant.

We can't waste any more time.

- Where is Mineo?

- He is carefree and still singing.

Let me take care of Mineo.

- All right. Don't let Ryuta know about it.

And don't let Sudo know about it either.

- All right.

My men are watching Mineo now. We will take care of it quickly.

- "Damn the intersection! Left or right?

"Right blinker is broken and hell is on the left."

- Mr. Komatsu, the amount I asked you to collect is one and a half million.

This is only a half million.

Only a half million in this bad economic slump isn't enough.

You must be joking. Mr. Komatsu, that bill is...

- Ryuta, can I have a minute?

- Mr. Komatsu, please.

- Later please.

- I'll have to hang myself soon. Please help me now!

- "The gun on the hip is not necessary...

"But the brush for clothes is necessary."

- Do you need to see Eddie?

- I just have a few questions I want to ask him.

How much longer will it take?

- Well, two more songs, so 7-8 minutes.

- Can I wait here? - By all means.

- "Brushing away the dust from the trip...

"I won't cry because of the loneliness in the evenings...

"The spring will come sometime...

"Alone with that cute girl, just us two...

"We will live in a big pasture."

- Mineo-san! Mineo-san!

- "Kurozaki is after you. Escape with Yoko."

= Damn it!

- What are you going to do with us?

- Until I negotiate with them, you must hide somewhere.

- I was going to surrender to the police tonight.

- Surrender?

Do you know who will be waiting when you are released?

It will surely not be her.

- Don't be flustered by their getting away.

- But...

- It's like he hid Mineo from the police for us. All we need to do is to make Ryuta tell us.

- Will he?

They are brothers, related by birth.

- He would favor himself over his brother.

- Will he really tell us?

- Yes, he will. He has that unfortunate son.

Leave it to me.

- Hey, where is Mineo?

- I don't know.

- What? - Ryuta.

Don't make trouble for us.

- I just dropped them off and I don't know where they went from there.

- Liar!

- Shut up! I'm not talking to you.

- I warn you that we have your son now.

- Shinichi?

- He is treated well as a guest, so don't worry about him.

- Boss, it is not fair to use my kid as a bargaining chip. I really don't know!

- If you love your kid, you'd better remember where Mineo is.

- Please deliver this to the boss. It's the Yokomitsu family's commission.

- Ryuta...

- Do you have a hangover again?

- I have a favor to ask you.

- I can grant some favors, but not all of them.

Komatsu, in this society, betrayal can never be forgiven.

Even for your own brother.

- I know.

- Where are they?

- I don't know.

- You can't say it?

- It's the truth. I don't know where they went.

- I see. Then there is nothing we can do. If Mineo comes out, there may be a way.

- Please believe me.

- It won't help if I'm the only one who believes you.

- If you talk to the boss, he may return Shinichi to me.

- What are you talking about?

- He is using my son as a bargaining chip to find out where Mineo is.

- Your son?

- Oh, did he really? That is awful.

Please help him.

- I don't know how I can.

- That's not true. He would listen to you.

- Why? - For instance, this.

If he loses the revenue source from you, the Yokomitsu family would lose its livelihood.

He can never refuse whatever you ask him.

You're the only person that the boss would listen to.

- It is not that easy. I say it because I have lived in this world.

Challenging the boss would be a very serious matter.

- I see. I am going to keep this check for a while.

- Hey, don't be so unreasonable.

- They're the unreasonable ones.

- Please! I beg you.

- All right. The boss might be getting senile.

- Who are you?

- I am Goro.

- Goro?

Why are you here?

- I was ordered to.

- Get out!

- I can't do that.

- Who sent you?

The boss?

Kurozaki?

- I was told not to drink.

- Hello. This is Komatsu.

What? Ah... Is this Sumiko?

Eh... Yes? Shinichi?

Yes. He is fine.

- I was at a research meeting and absent. I am sorry about it.

Can I speak to Shinichi?

- Well, he is resting. He's exhausted.

- Is that right? I called because I was anxious about him.

- Thank you for your concern. Please excuse me, I have company now.

Sankichi! Wait.

- Brother!

Brother...!!!

- If he shows up here, please contact us.

- As I explained to you before, we no longer have anything to do with Komatsu Mineo.

- Just in case he does.

- Of course, we will. But it is quite a nuisance to us.

- So long. - Thank you.

- Where is Shinichi?

- Ryuta, Mineo is now on the police wanted list.

- Really? - Hey!

Tell us where Mineo is!

- I don't know.

- Are you still hiding that..?

- Ryuta, you have some misunderstanding.

I am going to give Mineo shelter at a safe place.

- I really don't know. Boss, where is Shinichi?

- Is everything okay?

All right. Get the boy on the phone.

Listen to his voice. That may help you remember Mineo's whereabouts.

- Hello.

- Shinichi, is this Shinichi?

- Papa, papa!

- Yes, this is your papa.

- Papa, when are you coming? Please bring some presents.

- Yes, I will. I will be there soon.

Where are you now, Shinichi? Shinichi! Shinichi!

- Ryuta, lets set the time limit. Tonight at six o'clock.

- Six o'clock?

- If we don't know Mineo's whereabouts by then,

some kid will be the victim of a traffic accident.

- That is unreasonable! I really don't know.

- You should go home and cool yourself. And think hard.

- "Our aunt took me to this park once."

- You remembered quickly.

- That sounds fishy to me. Is he really there?

- That's the only place I can think of that he'd be hiding at.

- Where is that?

- I want to see Shinichi first.

- You tricked us once before.

You'll get your kid later!

- He's at my aunt's place. - Aunt?

- It was a long time ago, but we had an aunt in Sugamo.

I heard she moved to Oji and opened a tobacco store.

- That's too vague!

- All right. We will check it out.

Go back to your place and wait.

- 36... 2937... You are calling Sudo-san?

You're not supposed to make phone calls.

- How much did you get paid?

- What difference does that make?

- I'll pay you double, no, triple...

As much as you want.

- I live my life in a spirit of honest "fair play".

- Are you obligated to the boss or Kurozaki?

- I don't associate with any people.

- Ah, Sumiko-san.

- I am sorry for my sudden visit. Am I interrupting?

- No, not at all.

- How is Shinichi?

- Eh? Shinichi is...

Well, he is coming back soon. Please come in.

- I was waiting for your call, but I did not hear from you.

- I am sorry.

- Shinichi must have been excited.

- Eh.. Yes.

Shinichi!

- Ah! Papa.

- Shinichi!

- Ah! Teacher, you came too?

- It is not safe to go out alone.

- No, I was with a lady and a gentleman.

- Ryuta, I brought him here.

- Ken, you bastard.

- Brother, I did not know.

- We don't have any time to quarrel. I brought Shinichi here without permission.

- Papa, I want to stay here longer.

- You can't stay now.

But next time you stay here for a long time. The teacher is here to take you back.

- When are you coming next time?

- When? I will come as soon as I get done with my job.

Please take care of Shinichi.

- Yes.

- Please do not let anyone take him.

You are the only person I can trust my son with.

- Let's go now.

- Yes.

- Shinichi!

- Wait.

You forgot something.

- Kid, it's great that you got to see your dad.

- Yes.

Papa, sayonara!

- So it was you.

- You're useless!

- What are you talking about?

- About the kid.

- I never had an order about that.

- What?

- Ryuta, go get Mineo now.

- Did you find out where he is?

- You should well know about our network. We found out at the tobacco retailer's union.

- Here is the map.

We can go ourselves, but a lot more people would get injured if we do.

- Where do I take him?

- Well, let's meet at the usual auto-repair shop.

- Listen, you make sure that he does what he is supposed to do.

If you fail, you'll be sorry.

- I know.

This is the wrong way.

- Why didn't you shoot?

- At this speed, we'll both be killed.

- The only thing you care about is to bring Mineo back, right?

- That's right.

You don't have much time.

- Are they going to beat him up at the auto-repair shop?

- No, they are going to kill him.

- Kill him?

He's your brother, they wouldn't go that far would they?

- I can't trust the boss anymore.

- Komatsu!

Be careful what you say.

- But...

- You should know the rule of the underworld. A word from the boss has absolute authority.

All right. Take Mineo to the auto repair shop as you were told.

- And...?

- I'll be there and will talk to them.

Then I will decide if I send him away or give him shelter.

The boss won't do something that makes me lose face.

- Brother!

- I'll be prepared, if things don't go smoothly.

- Auntie.

- Who are you?

- I'm Ryuta.

- What? Ryuta?

- It's been a while.

- Why are you here? I don't have anything to do with a good-for-nothing like you.

- Auntie, I need to see Mineo.

- Mineo? Mineo isn't here.

Go home!

- I know he is here.

- I said he's not here!

- Auntie!

- Brother!

- Mineo, no!

- So they sent you.

- I need to talk to you.

- Yes.

- Do you know that you're a wanted criminal?

- What? And what is the message they sent with you?

- If you come out obediently, they will give you shelter.

- Brother, you know that is a lie.

- I made the boss promise.

Besides, brother Sudo is on our side.

- What if I say no?

- Your girl and our aunt will be...

- Brother.

Yoko is pregnant.

- What?

- I am going to have a kid.

I don't hold any grudge. I know you have to stay alive for Shinichi.

- Mineo.

- Okay.

- Will you come with me?

- Yes.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS: DEATHS: 0 INJURED: 17 NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS: 29

- You don't need to worry. Sudo will be negotiating for us.

- I was thinking about the name.

- Name?

- The new baby's name.

Boy or girl doesn't matter. I want a name that would make the baby happy.

- Where is Sudo?

- You're finally here. You have been a lot of trouble.

None of this had to happen if you followed the rules of the family.

- Hey, what do you think you are doing?

- Brother, can I have a cigarette?

I just need one.

- Get in the car.

- Only for a short period of time until the excitement cools down.

- I knew this would happen.

- Don't be silly. Sudo is supposed to...

- Hurry up. Get in the car.

- Please wait, boss.

- Shut up!

- What? - Stop interfering.

- What do you mean?

- In the worst case you may be blamed for everything.

- What?

Where's brother Sudo?

- What are you doing here?

- Mr. Sudo was killed.

- Killed?

- Who killed him?

Let's leave before things get complicated.

Come on, Rie.

- Komatsu, get in the car.

Come on.

- Brother, please go.

- Brother! Brother..! Brother.!!

Brother...!!!

- I'll take Mineo with me.

- Bastard!

Goro, kill them.

- Stop! Stop it!

- What do you think you are doing?

- Do you know what would happen if a bullet hits that container?

GASOLINE. FLAMMABLE. NO SMOKING - Do you know what would happen if a bullet hits that container?

GASOLINE. FLAMMABLE. NO SMOKING

It will be a blazing inferno!

This is my shop! This is where I work!

This is not a place for you to fight! Get out! Get out now!

Get out! Get out now!

I can't stand it anymore!

You are not humans. You are beasts!

Get out! Get out!

If you don't get out, I'll call the police.

- Stop!

- Goro, you lost your touch!

- No, I did not miss my target.

- What?!

- Kurozaki-san, you play a dirty game.

That is not my style.

Even an amateur baseball game is played nicer.

I quit.

- What?

- I'll just be a spectator behind the net.

- What did you say?

- What are you doing?

Stop that!

- Ryuta!

Ryuta, watch out!

= Ah, please wait!

- Ryuta.

- Ryuta, what happened?!

- Hang on, Ryuta!

- Bastard...

- Hello! Hello! Is this the police?

Hello! Hello!

They're getting away!

- Ryuta...

The principal offender of the Nishiwaki murder case is escaping from here.

- Yes, Nishiwaki case.

They are in a Ford...

Uh, white and brown color...

- Ryuta!

- Mineo, surrender to the police.

- Where are you going?

You won't get anywhere in that condition!

- Mineo. Look at this hand.

I wanted to wash my hands before they got dirty like now.

But it is too late for that now... Look at it.

- Brother..!! Brother...!!!

- Boss, what are we going to do?

- There aren't many choices. We will just have an outing.

- Will the police be on our track?

- Don't be nervous. We will get away.

- Let me drive.

- No.

Is a window open?

- What? No windows are open.

- It is cold.

- Boss...

- It is probably a routine road check. We're on our way to play golf, all right?

- Boss...

- Damn it! No other choice!

- Thirty year long... spree...

- Ryuta!
