Get on!
Hey! come on!
Take that, you lazy bastard!
SUIT YOURSELF OR SHOOT YOURSELF- The Hero
What's going on?
Tomoka Kurotani, Hiroshi Shimizu and Susumu Terashima
Toshiya Rujita
Hey! You're heavy! Let go!
Ren Osugi Yoriko Doguchi
Directedby Kiyoshi Kurosawa
'Why do you do these things?'
'Why'?
Let's see... Hinode, Block 1, Block 2, Block 3...
Here it is. Right near here.
I found the place.
I'll eat and we'll go.
Hey, YUP--...
Why do we do these things?
Huh?
Why do we do these things?
What's wrong with eating?
No, I mean something a lot bigger than that.
We're going on a job to collect a debt.
Because we want money, because we want to buy things.
Why?
Oh.
What do you mean, 'Oh'? I'm serious!
Kosaku, are you stupid?
You need money to live!
And if you live, you want to live well. That's why.
That's why?
Yeah.
Why is that why?
What?
Why are we doing this?
You still don't get it'?
No.
That question is a joke someone with too much time and money...
is playing on you.
A joke?
I see! Jodan... 'a joke'.
Michael! It's Michael'.
'Michael Jodan'. I just made that up.
Here comes the punch line!
Hey! Careful!
Hello!
- The Boss in? - May I say who's calling?
Yeah, Yuji! May she say who's calling?
Who are you?
Indeed!
I'm sorry, sir, but you can't do that!
It's the guy with all the night-club receipts...
That'd make him a director...
Yeah... so which one is the guy we want?
Hold it, you punks!
Go away!
Quick! Run! Run, damn it!
Watch where you're going!
Hey!
What do you want?
I was walking here.
So what?
You ran into me.
Shit! It's a dead end!
This way!
Yuji, no! This is a dead end!
Apologize.
You, too! And you, and you!
Wow! Is that guy crazy?
Now what?
There's only one thing to do.
Yeah.
Sorry!
Good luck!
That was close!
Yeah, too close for comfort.
Kosaku stepped in some dog shit.
Shut up!
- Did you wipe it off? - I'm wiping it now!
It still stinks! Go sit over there.
Shoo!
Go!
Yumiko!
Yes, Kosaku?
You never said there'd be yakuza! I put my foot in it!
And not for much money!
We almost got our heads beaten in!
Yeah! Our lives are worth more than money!
Yeah!
Yuiji...
I've been meaning to ask you...
Why do you do this work?
That's my question! Come on, answer it!
To save up and live in luxury?
To strut in front of poor people, and hire a yakuza to guard you?
Yeah, that's why.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing!
I agree.
But that's the kind of person you hate most, isn't it.
But that's what you want to become?
OK, Yumiko, what about you?
What do you work for?
That's a secret.
A secret?
That's not fair!
Hey, you two... let me answer for her?
No. I'm asking Yumiko.
But I want to...
No!
Not you.
No!
I have to answer this!
OK...
Yeah? OK...
I just found out that Yumiko...
gives a third of her sales to the 'World Peace Foundation'.
Right?
Well, you know...
You want to know what she's working for?
She's working for world peace!
Hey, isn't that the guy from the other day?
We happened to see you fight those yakuza the other day.
We were just passing by, you understand...
We were very impressed.
So we bought you that.
Thank you.
- May I? - Sure.
What's your name?
Aoyagi.
Aoyagi...
But you know, Aoyagi, talking to yakuza like that...
you're taking a big chance.
Perhaps.
You got beaten up!
Yes, but I won't allow those men to walk over me.
I understand that, but...
there's not much you can do against them by yourself.
No, but I don't see why that should change what I believe.
He's quite a guy, isn't he?
Try and stay out of trouble.
I will. Thanks.
Your cane.
Goodbye.
Will he be OK? Sure. He's got his cane.
Hey!
You broke it!
I want this man to move out.
Excuse me...
Are you a realtor?
No.
But you can't bust someone's gate!
Yeah! Stop that!
What's going on?!
Yakuza!
Don't do that!
Move away from here. You're a yakuza.
Let's have a drink.
Sure.
No! I won't let you accept his alcohol!
But Aoyagi...
Let's not, then.
Mr. Amamiya, you claim you've done nothing wrong here.
That is a lie!
You sure you two don't want a drink?
Mr. Amamiya!
I have here a record of your crimes!
February 13th: You spat on the street.
Two days later, you were seen throwing down a cigarette butt.
The same night, you urinated on the street.
On the 16th you spat again, then sang loudly in the street.
You disturbed the sleep of the neighborhood!
Aoyagi... is that all he's done?
Yes.
Do you still insist that you have caused no trouble here?
Kosaku, let's go. We'll take him with us.
You are causing trouble!
Let's go.
What, are you two going? Just a minute, please!
Sorry!
You see my point? That man is bad!
Hmm...
Maybe so, Aoyagi, but your list of crimes isn't very good.
These are serious matters!
Your way of thinking leaves them free to roam.
Aoyagi... let's go to my place for a while.
Great idea! Let's go!
The guy is a real yakuza.
Yes.
There's no way you're going to get him to move all alone.
No?
No!
I mean, we'll help you if we can...
Please.
You mean that?
Yes!
OK, Aoyagi...
what's the job worth to you?
I mean, if we were to help, could we...
split the take three ways?
I'm not getting paid.
Huh?
I'm doing this out of belief.
But, Aoyagi, that's...
Crazy?
Well, not 'crazy'...
It's the decent thing to do.
I know it's a great thing to do, but what do you get from it?
That's not the point!
Wow!
Are you angry?
Yes!
Don't get mad. Just explain this so we can understand.
You said you were impressed at my fighting those yakuza.
Huh? Kosaku, did I say that?
Yeah.
Was that a lie?
Not exactly a lie...
But there's a time and a place for everything.
I thought you of all people would understand my beliefs.
Hey! Aoyagi!
He's gone!
Idiot! You said I said that!
- I didn't! - You did!
When?
- Did I say that? - Yeah!
You did say that!
I will not be defeated. I'll fight on alone. Goodbye.
Aoyagi!
Can I ask one thing?
What are you doing this for?
Justice.
Owl!
Anyway, it takes all kinds to make a world.
'For justice'...
I don't get it.
It's ready, Yuji. Let's eat.
Kosaku, let me ask you something.
Why do you eat?
Because I'm hungry, of course.
Because you're hungry. Not for justice.
What?
Huh? Nothing.
Who are you? If you want Kosaku, he's not here...
You're Yuji Fujita?
Yuji Fujita, 32.
Come with me, please!
Where?
My brother's in trouble!
Your brother? Who's he?
Mikio Aoyagi.
Aoyagi?
Hurry!
Look, I don't know what's going on...
He says you're the only one he can depend on.
Yeah, but... let me get some juice...
Come on!
You can insult me, but not my predecessors! Understood?
Violence against me will simply be one more crime.
Hit me!
Son of a bitch!
Stop it!
Yuji! I knew you'd come!
You got a problem?
No! Let's discuss this calmly.
Help my brother!
There's nothing to discuss!
You shut up.
I haven't fought for a while. I won't hold back, so don't you either.
Best man wins, and no hard feelings.
This isn't my fight.
See you round.
Oh? No guts, huh?
OK.
Yuji! Are you running again?
Shut up and let's get out of here!
No! I won't be beaten! I'll fight on alone.
Let's get out of here, I said!
All right, all right!
Reiko, you take your brother and get lost.
I'll take it from here.
Shit!
That guy was pretty tough!
I'm really sorry I got you into that.
That's OK. I still don't really understand, though.
Your brother's really out to start something.
He's a fool.
I don't think that.
He's out of his mind.
Isn't that exaggerating?
It's magnificent in its way.
No, it isn't. My brother's always been like that.
He's always full of big dreams, always trying to start things...
that never work out.
He just ends up causing trouble and fighting with everyone.
Then I have to clean up.
It's hard being a younger sister.
Am I going to have to take care of him all my life?
Ta-da!
Look what I got!
What happened to your face?
Nothing.
Did you get drunk and walk into a lamp-post again?
It's nothing.
Hello.
This is Reiko. She's Aoyagi's younger sister.
I'm Kosaku. How do you do.
You can have this for your place if you want.
Where did you get that?
I was out on a date.
I ran into that yakuza guy.
He said to give you this.
It looks like he's taken a liking to you.
He said it was to apologize for going a little overboard.
Yeah?
I think he's a really nice guy.
The old fishmonger said he thought so, too.
Aoyagi's got him wrong.
I'm against driving him out.
If Aoyagi hates yakuza so much, why doesn't he move?
Kosaku... it's a nice day. Why don't you go out?
Hey, Reiko... are you going?
I'll take my brother away from here. He just causes trouble.
You don't have to leave.
It's all right. We're nothing but trouble.
Wait a minute... I'll figure Something out. Leave it to me.
What are you going to do?
Get that yakuza to move out.
But...
Shut up.
This is justice.
Huh?
Justice!
How?
It's justice.
Justice? What's that? What is justice anyway?
Search me.
...80 YUji's joined the local community association.
He's finally awakened to justice...
I don't know... that's not my kind of thing.
Coffee...
When he used to play 'Masked Rider', maybe Yuji was the kid...
who had to be the bad guy.
So now he wants to be on the side of justice!
Kosaku...
I've got a very low-paying job that no one else wants to do.
Why don't you do it?
I suppose...
Yamazakiya Sweet Bean-Paste Buns
Not Wanted: Yakuza! Amamiya Out!
No Yakuza In Fufimicho!
Fujimicho Community Center
I'm afraid I'm going to have to quit.
Why?
Me, too. I've got a store to run!
I can't accept that!
What you're saying is quite right, Mr. Aoyagi, but...
I'm walking around with a placard...
and everyone in town is staring at me...
It's embarrassing!
Then we'll never get that yakuza out of here!
Everyone says how he's a yakuza...
but Mr. Amamiya's not a bad man.
That's not true!
Just a minute... garbage recycling, for example.
Look at this. Here's proof.
March 23: he put these cans in with his burnable garbage!
You still carry that?
Yes: I'm very stubborn.
Those are all beer cans he bought from my store!
He might be running out. I'll go see him tomorrow.
No. It's dangerous.
So you say, Mr. Aoyagi, but he moved in two years ago...
and in that time he's never been violent.
Then what happened to him?
What? No, that was different.
Well, if you want him out, Mr. Aoyagi, you do it.
Yeah. We quit.
Then you're the enemy!
Mr. Aoyagi! What did you say?!
The truth!
All right, Aoyagi. Don't get excited.
You're the problem!
OK, Mr. Umehara... you calm down, too.
It's not going to work. There's nothing I can do.
No?
It's like his "justice'...
is a thing spinning around, up in the sky.
How do you feel about what he thinks?
Well, I suppose we'd all be happy, if the yakuza moved out.
I wonder...
I don't really think so.
If he moved away from here, he'd just go somewhere else.
The yakuza itself wouldn't disappear.
That's true.
I think it'd be better to find a way to get along with him.
Yes. That's it!
Why didn't I think of that?
Hey!
It's OK, Reiko. I'm not going to do anything stupid.
Yuji! I got some fresh sweet bean paste buns!
Sorry, Kosaku. I'm busy. See you later!
Hey, wait!
What's going on, damn it!
I want to give this back.
I'm afraid I can't accept it from you.
You don't want it?
This is valuable!
Yeah, but I've got my position in all this to think about.
So that's it... I see.
It's a perfectly good ceremonial bamboo rake.
Oh, well...
I came here to...
To get me to move out?
No, that's not it.
How can I say this? What if you were to quit the yakuza?
Or even just pretend you had.
That'd fix everything up.
Hmm... pretend that I'd quit the yakuza...
No?
What's wrong? Hey, I was only kidding.
It was a joke!
This is between you and me. Don't tell this to a soul!
OK?
I'm not really a yakuza.
What?!
Idiot! Keep your voice down!
You're not? Then what are you?
A mat-maker.
What?!
Quiet, I said!
Sorry.
Then who's that?
That?
My great-great-grandfather. He looks the part, huh?
I made tatamifloor mats back home...
saved up some money and came here two years ago.
You really look like a yakuza...
I like the whole yakuza style.
No one here knows me.
They all started calling me a yakuza...
and I got to like it.
Sorry about that.
Come on.
But isn't that a bit dangerous?
You don't have to tell me that. Anyway, relax.
My money's run out, and I'll be leaving soon.
So what do I tell everyone?
Listen, this is just between you and me.
I'll be a yakuza till the day I move away from here.
You tell anyone, and I'll kill you.
How did it go?
Did he agree to move?
He didn't, did he? I knew it! He just won't be convinced.
People here don't understand that we have to keep on...
with our demonstrations.
Aoyagi... I quit.
Sorry.
But you're my only ally!
Without you...
Look, I'm really sorry. See you round.
They shot my brother!
I heard.
Was it the yakuza?
Who else would it be?
How is he?
It's just a leg wound, but still...
This is terrible, Mr. Umehara.
Yes! Why haven't you driven that yakuza out by now?
Thank you for coming.
We've been too nice.
It's just like Aoyagi said.
Let's go to Amamiya's house and demand that he move out!
Yes! Let's do it!
Let's go!
Hold it!
Mr. Fujital You're just in time. We're going to Amamiya's.
Could you wait on that a bit? Please?
But surely you've heard what happened, Mr. Fujita...
Mr. Umehara, can you give me a little time?
Just a little while. I'll go talk to Amamiya.
Please...
Yuji, no! He's a yakuza!
You can't go alone!
It's OK.
He's got a gun!
Then I'll come, too.
Let me do this alone, Kosaku.
- But, Yuji! - Don't worry!
Hey!
Oh, it's you...
Did you hear about what happened?
You mean about Aoyagi getting shot?
Serves him right!
I know you didn't do it, but everyone else thinks you did.
Yeah.
Can I tell them you're not really a yakuza?
No!
Then what do I do?
You could get killed!
So I'll leave.
Now's the time.
But I feel good.
Here I was a real yakuza, right down to the very last detail.
I've got you to thank for that.
Mr. Fujita!
Go!
We did it!
Yuji, that was great!
What? I'm going home.
Mr. Fujita! Wait!
You've saved us! Thank you!
No, I didn't!
No!
Fujita! Fujita! Fujita!
Cut that out! Put me down! Hey!
Yuji did it! I only wish my brother could have seen!
Yeah...
That was tremendous!
You're our local hero. Please, come in!
Everyone! Mr. Fujita!
Everybody!
We're here to celebrate what Mr. Fujita has done.
We'll pay for this out of the Council's operations budget!
Mr. Umehara, he's here.
Everyone!
Representative Kanamori is here!
This way, sir. Thank you for taking the time to come.
Mr. Kanamori!
Let me introduce Mr. Yuji Fujita.
So you're the man? The man who's saved our neighborhood?
Mr. Kanamori was born here. He's a Member of the Diet!
Would you say a few words?
I must first express my gratitude to you.
I am sponsoring new legislation called the 'Japan Cleansing Act'.
The bill is still in its draft stages...
but you have helped in what will be a national movement.
We of this area are proud it happened here!
Anyway, enough formality. We're here...
to celebrate our very own Joan of Arc!
Sorry we're late!
Oh! Everyone! Someone else has arrived!
May I have your attention!
The man who began this drive to force out the yakuza...
Mr. Aoyagi Mikio!
Come in! Sit over there...
Let's have a few words from Mr. Fujita!
Yes, Mr. Fujital
Me? No, thank you!
Then I'll speak, in his place!
I've wondered ever since I was small:
What is it that a human being should stand for?
And then one day it came to me.
It was 'justice'.
It was as if I'd been struck by lightning.
I felt as if everything had been made clear.
There is too much injustice in the world.
Everyone sees that, but they pretend not to. Why is that?
They lack courage.
I decided to have the courage to speak up if I saw wrong...
to say, 'I don't like this!'
What are you doing out here?
Is your brother OK alone?
Yeah.
He likes this kind of thing. I don't...
I just wanted to thank you for all you've done for him.
Reiko...
are you so happy to see that yakuza driven out?
No.
But worse things might have happened.
And you settled it.
I think that was the real justice.
What are you two doing out here?
I can't stand that damn politician.
That's between you and me.
Mr. Fujita...
as Community Council Chairman...
I want to thank you for what you've done.
Are you nuts?
I just did things the way I wanted to.
So why is all this suddenly for your brother's sake...
or for the sake of the area, or for 'justice'?
And why does some politician suddenly appear?
Answer me that, Reiko.
You don't understand a damn thing!
Right on!
Hey, Kosaku...
I'm on the side of that yakuza guy.
He lives the way he wants to.
He doesn't do what he does for 'the sake' of anything.
I respect him a lot more than I do you!
Hey, Turtle...
Yuiji...
Aoyagi's leaving today. Let's go see him off.
Yeah...
And see Reiko again.
Yeah.
Hi.
How are you?
So you're going to work for Kanamori?
Yes, he's accepted me as a secretary-in-training.
It's like a dream! I still can't believe it!
Are you going, too?
Just as far as the station.
Well, Aoyagi, you're good at making speeches.
This is all because of you. Thank you very much.
And you, Kosaku.
It was nothing.
Goodbye.
Let me take that. Politicians don't carry their own bags.
No...
That's fine. I'll carry it.
I shouldn't have put that on the top.
What's that?!
Don't tell me...
Yes. I shot myself in the foot.
What did you do that for?
To deal with the yakuza, you have to use their tactics.
But that's too much!
Yes... it certainly hurt a lot.
I lay in the hospital wondering...
why it had to be me.
Did you double-cross us, you bastard?
No, this was a ploy. I don't think of it as 'double-crossing'.
So it's not wrong?
I'm better able to judge right and wrong than you are.
You're an idiot! You're crazy! I knew it!
I've had it with you!
Come on, you guys.
I'll keep this.
Yuji! The one who motivated people here was you!
Shut up!
You're a hero! Don't forget that!
What an asshole!
He's out of his mind.
What about the gun?
Let's not call the police.
I'll get rid of it somewhere.
Call Yumiko, will you?
Hello, police?
About the shooting in Fujimicho...
Yes, a man named Aoyagi was shot.
I know who did it.
Hey, you! Are you Yuji Fujita?
No.
Halt!
Have located Yuji Fujita. He is armed and fleeing south.
Yuji! Where are you?
Where are you hiding?
That's weird...
And so Yuji vanished.
The police never found him.
No one else saw him, either. I waited, and waited...
and time went by.
One Year Latter
The area changed. Houses were knocked down for condos.
People were divided over the homeless and poor.
Some wanted to help them out, others to drive them out.
I had no reason to stay here.
So you're leaving, too?
Yeah. There's nothing for me to do here.
Yeah...
There's no shady work that pays well any more.
I'm back.
Hi.
How have you been, Kosaku?
I'm selling these drinks door-to-door. Want one?
No, thanks.
Why not?
That's right! You're leaving today.
I wanted to see you two before I went.
Then take some with you.
No, thanks.
- I've got jam, too. - No.
Is my lunch done?
Yeah.
Thanks.
I'm off, then.
Bye-bye.
See you.
If you are homeless, register for welfare.
If you have yet to register, come lo the Assistance Center.
We have warm meals and temporary sheller.
Parks and vacant lots are not your home.
The homeless are human beings, not stray cats.
We must act towards them with morality and respect.
A message from the Fujimicho Community Center.
Don't Drive Them Out!
Reiko...
Kosaku!
So you're leaving?
I just wanted to say goodbye.
Wait...
That's OK. You're busy.
Courage and Justice in Politics!
The New Century Party - Politics to Believe in!
...a model community under the Japan Cleansing Policy!
Let us clean up our garbage!
Do not discard cigarette butts or empty cans.
Let us have the courage to dispose of the unhygienic...
the immoral and the unsightly!
Representative Kanamori has designated this area...
Are you OK?
Yeah. This happens all the time.
You're tough, aren't you?
I couldn't go on like that.
Where are you going?
A friend of mine has a gas station...
up in Niigata.
Great!
Maybe I should come, too.
Don't say that! I might take you up on it.
I've started thinking there's nothing left for me here.
Yuji would hate this.
Yeah...
Reiko... you could at least answer your phone.
I've got nothing to say to you.
Let's go.
Wait!
Let go!
What are you doing?!
Hey! Hands off!
Stop it!
Owl!
Kosaku!
Reiko! Now you can see I've got power!
Whoever is controlling you, I don't want you to get hurt.
No one's controlling me. I'm doing what I want to!
Mikio... one day you're going to destroy yourself.
Kosaku, let's go.
Freedom for the Homeless, and...
The Return of the Hero.
Mr. Amamiya?
Well. If it isn't Kosaku!
The yakuza man!
Me?
Ch, yeah... I'm Amamiya the yakuza!
But why are you dressed like that?
Well... things happen.
Why did you come back?
Things happened.
Have you heard anything about where Yuji might be?
"Yuji'? Yuiji Fujita?
Yes. He vanished a year ago, and we haven't heard a thing.
Do you know something? Tell me, please!
He should be at his place.
We got in last night. That's where he was headed.
But where's he been all this time?!
Yuji's been our leader.
Leader?
Yuijil
Condemned for Highway Construction; No Entry
Yuji?
Kosaku... how's it going?
Yuijil
Where've you been?! I've been waiting for you!
Sorry.
You could have at least phoned!
Kosaku... I'm sorry.
How've you been, Reiko?
Welcome back, Yuiji. I'm so glad to see you.
There's so much I've been wanting to ask you.
First of all, what I've been doing all this time, I guess...
Yuji's been with us... underground in Shinjuku.
You have?
I ran into him while I was running from the police.
Why did you come back?
They're chasing the homeless out from everywhere.
Yuji's been our leader while we've fought back...
we've been scattered.
But I think things are worse around here.
Looks that way.
But it's like this in Shinjuku, in lkebukuro, in Ueno...
There's nowhere for us.
I figured this place is as good as any other...
now that the heat's probably died down.
So you're not going away anywhere else, then?
Nope.
Promise?
Promise.
So Mr. Fujita's really back?
I'm not sure, but...
I knew he'd be back one day!
He was that local hero?
He gave us... what would you call it?... courage!
He's here!
He's here!
He is?
Mr. Fujita! We've been waiting!
This way!
It's that yakuza!
Mr. Amamiya is with us. Don't worry.
Sit down!
Mr. Fujita, what do you think we should do now?
Say whatever you like. Just tell us something.
Hmm...
I could use a barbecued meat dinner.
I want eel!
Mince-meat noodles!
Reiko?
Beef over rice.
Yuji! Stop spilling your food all over the place!
What do you expect? I haven't eaten like this in a year!
Mr. Amamiya, chew your food!
Shut up, will you?
Ah, I'm full!
Now, Mr. Fujita...
what do you think we should do?
Huh?
There's nothing you can do.
What?!
What will be, will be.
But I can tell you what to do once all this has died down.
We homeless are people, too.
We're all different.
Some want a warm bed, some like sleeping in parks.
Some of us want to eat steak, and some...
are happy with restaurant leftovers.
So leave us free to be what we want.
OK?
I understand.
Let's go.
Coming?
Reiko?
I'll come, too.
It's been a long time, Yuji.
Aoyagi! How's it going?
Very well, thank you. Nice to see you, too, Mr. Amamiya.
How's it going?
What do you want?
You're not welcome here.
I heard Yuji and Mr. Amamiya were back, so I brought gifts.
Here.
You're both very welcome to live here.
All I ask is that you stay away from the Community Center.
Aoyagi! You bastard!
Take it easy!
One thing I know, Aoyagi: you owe me something.
What would that be?
It doesn't concern the others. We should talk in private.
I must admit I behaved very badly towards you.
Yeah?
Yes. I didn't mean to make you look like a criminal.
Things just got out of hand.
But I'm relieved to see that you're all right.
Now we're square.
Let's go, Kosaku.
Eviction
Is this what the police do?
Who do you think you are?!
He promised he wouldn't touch the Community Center!
It was bound to happen.
What can we do?
Hmm...
Kosaku! Think of something!
I can think, but I can't think of anything...
Mr. Umehara, can't you get more of the residents?
Well...
Fine!
I'll go see my brother!
Wait!
My brother started it, so I'll put an end to it!
OK... I'll do something. Leave it to me.
But when I'm done, we'll all have to leave here.
OK?
Yes.
And your brother won't want to know you any more.
OK?
Yes.
Reiko! I'm glad you finally called. What would you like?
You look so tired all the time. I just can't stand to see it.
Politics is a hard life.
Watch out, or you'll get sick.
Yeah.
It's all right. Leave us alone.
Reiko...
this election might mean the end for me, you know.
Mr. Kanamori will withdraw his support if I don't win.
I'll try my best, but if that doesn't work...
that's how it goes.
Why not just quit now?
I can't do that.
I'll take this as far as I can. There's nothing you can say.
What are you planning?
I don't see how this is going to help anything.
I wouldn't say that, Aoyagi.
You remember this, don't you?
What? Do you still have that thing?
Yeah, I thought it might come in handy someday.
To shoot me with?
No. But I lied when I said our debt had been settled.
Sorry about that.
I'm going to tell the police how you shot yourself.
Be my guest.
I know it's not a serious crime.
But I'm sure Mr. Kanamori won't like the scandal.
And now I'll get to the point.
ยฅ50 million will keep me quiet.
I'm sure you can find that kind of money.
ยฅ50 million?
Fine.
Something can be arranged.
Great.
Hey! That's a filthy trick!
You're on tape, now.
Wait a minute!
You're the refuse of society. What all of you are is...
garbage!
Now let's see who the garbage really is.
Look at this!
Yuck!
Look!
That stinks! Take it away.
Don't give it to me! I don't want it!
Hey, Aoyagi, look at this! Move, Kosaku.
Look at that!
Oops!
Yuji, I think they found us.
That makes it all the more fun.
Right!
How's that?
Hey!
No, Aoyagi. You can't run away.
You all know what will come of this, don't you?
Hey, the garbage is saying something.
Hey, let's stuff some in his mouth, too.
We have a hostage-taking involving Yuji Fujita...
That feels good!
That suits Aoyagi, doesn't it.
He'd look great in the Diet like that.
That'd be funny!
They'd have to pass new anti-dumping legislation.
Bad joke!
'A politician you can take litter-ally. '
That wasn't very funny.
I had to think hard...
Feeling bad?
Probably not. You're not the kind to let this beat you.
But I'm happy. You can do whatever you like now.
I'm staying with them.
Freeze!
Yuji, toss the gun over here.
And the cassette.
So in the end, it looks like I win.
Take care, Yuji!
Kosaku, Mr. Amamiya. Hope to see you again!
He never changes, does he?
Let me go!
Take her.
She was in serious danger!
The men inside are armed. Shoot if you have to.
Mr. Aoyagi! Aoyagi!
I'll never forgive you for this, you know.
Aoyagi!
You bastard!
Get back!
Aoyagi!
Stop that!
'O ye dead heroes of yore, close off our path of retreat!'
Here they come... I guess this is it.
This is kind of exciting.
I've been waiting.
A real yakuza has to do this sometime.
Yuiji...
Kosaku...
thanks.
Right!
Here goes my best shot!
Well, Kosaku?
Yuiji...
when this is over, let's go to Niigata.
Yeah... then why don't we take a boat from there to Russia?
Yeah!
Right.
But can we get to Niigata?
Sure! If we run fast, we'll be there in no time.
Yeah.
OK, Kosaku... let's go.
Ready, set, go!
Kosaku! Get up!
I'm hit...
Did they get you?
Hey, Yuji... are we almost there?
Yeah, just a little further...
