(Shinjuku Swan 2)
My name is Shiratori Tatsuhiko.
I'm a scout in Shinjuku.
Tatsuhiko, how are you?
People finish their work, the evening starts...
in the most lively neighborhood in Japan.
The crowds gather in Kabukicho.
For us, scouts, it's the golden time.
It's right there, wait.
Really? I'll take you to the club.
Hideyoshi died last year.
The members have changed.
I'm older, don't call me by my first name.
You're 6 months older.
Yosuke, Yosuke...
Even my good buddy, Yosuke...
disappeared without even a goodbye.
What did I do to him?
Tatsuhiko.
Hey Rui, how are you? -Tatsuhiko.
Thank you for that place you introduced me to.
It's great. It's great.
Could you ask them to raise my salary?
Sure, I'll ask them.
Hey, good morning.
Bye, Rui, work hard.
See you. -Bye.
Koizumi, see you soon.
Call me anytime.
Alright, let's do it.
Oh, aren't you cute.
Yes, of course.
Do you have time? Where do you come from?
Are you in trouble?
Are you scouting?
Yes, you can ask me anything.
I want to ask to that guy.
The best place...
Wait.
Let me go.
What is that?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Excuse me.
My name is Mayumi.
It's a pleasure, I'm Tatsuhiko.
Hey, she's mine.
Easy now.
Sorry.
It's fine.
What do you want?
Debts?
How much?
$20,000.
And in no time, they increased it.
Those scums taking advantage of such a pretty girl.
So, many of those guys.
But you are not like that, right?
Of course, I'll introduce you to a good place.
You'll work hard and pay debt back.
Mr. Tatsuhiko Can I call you just 'Tatsuhiko'?
You can call me, Tatsu...
or Tatsuhiko.
Tatsuhiko it is then.
Alright.
Tatsuhiko.
Hey Soga, what's up?
A problem with the scouts.
Again?
Can you help?
Mayumi, call here.
This shop is great, the Madam too.
See you... let's go.
Moulin Rouge.
Stop.
Morinaga.
What are you doing here?
Tatsuhiko.
I'm here to challenge you.
Shibuya's scouts came here to cause trouble.
Are you dumb?
'Bursts' and 'Parasites' teams have reconciled.
I owe you three punches.
The fight is over.
Why this fuss now?
Your first kiss.
You'll get it.
Good Morning.
Morinaga?
You're good.
Yes, I'm good.
Officer Kinoshita.
Tatsuhiko, you're fighting again.
I am sorry.
He's fine... He's a bro.
I've had enough of you.
Right.
I'm not his bro.
Just say as I say.
Disappear, now.
I'm sorry.
It's over.
I owe you ten punches next time.
I'll be waiting.
So, busy.
Good evening.
You fought with Morinaga, right?
Right.
The streets are restless lately...
we've just made a territory deal with the 'Parasites'.
Since Burst and Harlem merged, scouts have increased.
But there aren't more girls to scout.
That what creates friction on the street.
It's started like that in Shibuya too.
Boss.
I was always against merging.
It's too late to cry about it.
If we reduced scouts by 20%, profits would increase.
And friction will decrease.
We get rid of the weak ones.
So, you'd seize that opportunity to get rid of my Harlem boys.
OK, I'm just a Bursts now.
Hayama, you don't have to pretend you're loyal.
Obviously, some of you guys, since Hideyoshi's death...
and Yosuke's disappearance, you've been suspecting me.
You are a Burst no one is suspecting you.
Scouts have a hard job.
Their training is very long...
if you judge trainees' performance you lose good assets.
Mako is right.
So, we have no choice.
We expand the territory.
We don't have anywhere to expand.
Obviously, we do, it's Yokohama.
Yokohama?
The Wine Dealers Association is recruiting for two clubs in Yokohama.
Each club will need 100 hostesses.
It's impossible in Yokohama.
Why impossible?
Boss, Yokohama is not good.
There are no opportunities there.
With Taki's Wizards we're going into a mess.
They say Yokohama is 'Taki's Empire'.
Tell me Seki...
you know Yokohama well.
You would know how to deal with the locals.
If I go to Yokohama, I'm not coming back here.
Don't be silly, you are a Burst.
Hey, you take Tatsuhiko with you.
Why me?
Yosuke is probably in Yokohama.
Yosuke?
Yosuke disappeared without taking his money.
Something must have happened.
Seki.
Seki, you go to Yokohama.
Boss.
Yosuke is really in Yokohama?
There are rumors.
Go there, Tatsuhiko.
Mr. Mako.
We all miss Yosuke here.
Alright then.
Welcome.
Mayumi, Hi?
Hello, this way please.
You were waiting.
I just arrived.
Seki, welcome.
It seems you two have to talk, see you later.
So, you're moving to Yokohama.
Isn't it a sensitive topic?
Well, we'll be facing Taki.
You've known him since you were kids?
You were close.
We worked together.
But I spent two years in the can.
I didn’t go back to Yokohama when I got out.
Why didn't you go back?
Why didn't I...
Taki is a dangerous drug dealer.
Possibly, he's involved in Hideyoshi's death.
It's not Hayama?
I don't know for sure.
They too were involved in drugs schemes.
Opening up new turf isn't that simple.
It's a chance to settle accounts with Taki.
I'll put my heart at rest finally.
37% of our wines and spirits are sold...
in nightclubs and bars employing hostesses.
This Wine Association needs a field experience for a better understanding...
of the consumer's behavior.
We'll soon finish the construction of 2 large nightclubs.
Mr. Kajita.
Our biggest issue is to hire women.
Our two clubs will need 200 hostesses.
Recruitment through newspapers and other media.
Brought in only 30 candidates.
That figure is obviously insufficient.
In regard to our schedule, we have and emergency.
So, we commissioned a professional in Yokohama...
called the Wizard who employs scouts.
This is their manager Taki Masaki.
He staffs up the best clubs in Yokohama...
it's the N
He comes highly recommended.
Mr. Chairman.
We could simply call a number of scouting companies.
Mr. Kurashiki, to my knowledge there's no one else in Yokohama.
And we wouldn't want to stir up a conflict.
Finding as many girls as we can would be worth the conflict.
When you enter an unknown turf...
I'd advise you to proceed with caution.
Yes, of course.
Mr. Taki is a very trustworthy person.
It's been a while.
I heard Shinjuku scouts are coming to Yokohama.
Seki is with them.
Mr. Seki... goodness.
It's been 12 years, we can only foresee trouble.
How is Yosuke?
He's fine, the usual.
Don't lie to me, I heard things.
He is using drugs.
Get him off the traffic and send him to detox.
If he's losing it, he's useless to me.
You take care of this, handle him.
I've put up long enough with that jerk.
What will you do?
Taki, you're scaring me.
Seki is coming, Seki from the past.
We entrusted our drug traffic to Yosuke who is no one in Yokohama...
Haneman.
We're not using drugs, right?
We are selling them.
Yes.
Why do I hear that he's using?
He's fine.
What is fine?
Chairman Sumitomo Welcome.
I was born in this city.
And I grew up here.
So, you can trust me for managing this city.
This work is very important for the Wine Association.
All the partners chipped in to gather $10M.
Please give me a receipt for $10M.
Alright.
However, I want half of that amount.
Any objections?
No objections but...
since we just shared 50-50, you and I are on equal footing.
Equal footing?
You're too young to be my equal.
The alcohol conglomerate hires me for $10M...
then I pay you half of it.
That means that I am employing you Mr. Chairman.
I see your point.
You're man of stature.
Not at all.
But please don't underestimate me.
You are not employing me.
This money is in your hands.
Use whatever means necessary.
I'll do a good job...
but won't be able to pay them back.
As I said, use whatever means necessary.
Haneman.
Yes.
There's $10M.
Send 200,000 to the Hourai group.
Yes.
This for Inspector Sunako.
Yes.
This is for you.
Work hard.
Yes... I'm going.
Am I talking to Mr. Kuraishi?
Yes.
Have you heard of other scout companies?
Vaguely.
We should talk.
Sure.
Excuse me.
Miss Mayumi, someone for you.
Sorry, I'll be right back.
Miss Mayumi, what can I do without you?
Now I'm sitting next to a dude... no way.
But I'm here Taka-chan, right? -Welcome.
Madam is coming. -If you don't mind.
Hello?... It's you Tatsuhiko.
"You are casually throwing away everything I love. (Anly -Dakara)"
"So, should I throw away everything you love? "
"I know I'm clumsy and I hurt you sometimes."
"So, maybe that is why you treat me that way."
"That is why..."
"I hid my weaknesses and I fell in love with you."
"Close my eyes."
"When I close my eyes, I see you only."
thank you very much.
She's great. -Indeed.
Let's drink to that. -Yes.
Cheers.
Excellent.
So, we're on a date today? -Don't be silly.
Well, something came up...
I wanted to see you, I'm moving to Yokohama.
Eh? Why?
We're opening a new branch in Yokohama.
Is that right?
Then I'll go with you.
No, no, no, absolutely not, you can't.
Madam Ryoko would be real mad.
Specially, since she really trusts you.
Damn, you have no idea how much I'd like to stay.
I made my home in Shinjuku Kabukicho, this is my place.
My boss requested me to open the Yokohama branch.
Let's enjoy this moment.
Cheers.
We're so drunk.
Look at the sparkling lights.
It is sparkling.
Even at 2 am, it's so lively.
This place breathed a new life in me.
You too have been through a rough patch.
Of course, I was dredging the bottom.
So, low, so low.
That's the lowest you can go.
Trust me, your past can't be as rough as mine was.
Tell you a secret. -What?
If you believe it, you can fly.
What is that?
If you believe it in your heart, without a speck of doubt...
you can fly in the sky.
Don't laugh at me.
Absolutely impossible.
You'll fly for 3s and rush to the ground.
Your blood will repaint the sidewalk.
I hate to picture the scene.
I often dream that I fly in the sky.
But every time, I hit a power line and I fall.
Still, miraculously I always come out unharmed.
But there are no miracles in this world.
If you fall, you kiss the tarmac.
Come on, have faith, Tatsuhiko.
Alright, let's do this then...
we'll go where I can fly and you'll have faith.
There is no such place.
There is.
There is, of course.
We'll go and you'll have faith.
OK, fine, Mayumi...
you'll work hard, pay your debt...
you'll have a happy life.
You're right.
Right.
In that club you introduced me to...
I'll work hard to pay my debt.
Great.
Thank you.
Every time I meet you I feel uplifted.
What got into you?
See you again, do a good job in Yokohama.
Yes.
Goodbye.
"Goodbye" is a bit dramatic.
We'll go to that place where we can fly.
Ah, right, but...
So, it's a goodbye to Shinjuku?
Wow, amazing... this is incredible.
First time I get on a boat.
Coming back here, I'd almost cry.
You've been in Yokohama before?
It's my hometown, idiot.
It hurts.
You're from here?
You hurt me with your rings.
It's been 10 years.
Ten years already?
For 10 years you've stayed 30 min away from your hometown.
Please stop.
Ouch, ouch.
I was avoiding Yokohama.
It hurts.
We're here on business, nothing else matters.
Yes.
We'll find Yosuke.
It hurts.
Enough, I get it.
Soga, Hide, Hiroshi and Honda...
will be at the meeting tomorrow morning.
They'll be on a special assignment for the Bursts in Yokohama.
Even Parasites could be there, is it OK?
Morinaga from Shibuya?
He so insisted to come to Yokohama, he's a pain.
Yes, this is great.
How about Busuyama?
Morinaga, fine, but if you add Busuyama it's too much...
Idiot, call him.
Are you launching a full-blown war?
Yes, that will be the grand start... from tomorrow.
Mr. Busuyama, did you catch a cold?
You'll meet the Madame, she will hire you for sure.
Really?
You want to work?
Yokohama, here we are.
Shinjuku Burst.
It's Seki.
Inspector Sunako, it's Haneman.
Seki from Shinjuku just arrived in Yokohama.
Seki is coming here?
It's no big deal Inspector Sunako.
You guys don't know who Seki is.
What do you mean?
The Wizards are backed up by Hourai group...
don't forget that.
I’m a police officer, I'm unconcerned.
This is from Mr. Taki.
This way.
Who are these guys?
It's a katana.
Be careful guys.
Seki.
Don't kill them.
Stop.
Don't kill him.
What? -You're an idiot.
It's over.
The police.
I'll say I killed them, you run.
I'll plead self-defense, I'll be out in a blink.
What are you saying?
The business can't run without you, you'll grow the company.
I'm going to the can.
Don't worry, I'll be out in two years.
Masaki.
Now you're the Captain, do that for me.
What's going to happen?
Did you do that? -Sure did.
Who did that to you?
Seki.
Stand up, stand up.
Seki, hey.
(unknown number)
Hello.
"How bright the street lights are in Yokohama."
Seki.
Your singing hasn't improved.
Seki, you're back in Yokohama?
It's been 12 years.
So, what? Are you declaring war?
Take it as you wish.
Seki...
I have risen in the world.
We just move forward with the flow...
we can't go back to the past.
Don’t worry, I’ll bring you back to your past status.
You have nothing to win in that.
Whatever, I have nothing to lose.
And you have nothing to stop me.
Fine then, let me restart from nothing too...
say, let's do it together.
I'll share half the profits with you.
This conversation is 12 years overdue.
See you around.
We'll use the day light to get to know the turf.
You can't scout if you don't know these streets inside out.
Any woman you meet, talk to her.
Even if there are Wizards around...
don't hold back. You get it?
Yes.
Tatsuhiko. -Yes.
Be motivated. -Yes.
Don't slack, let's go. -Yes.
We meet at 9. -Get it.
Hey, Ide I'm here.
It's upside down.
Like this.
You can't even read a map, Busuyama, idiot.
Excuse me, where are we here?
She's so cute. -Really.
Where do you go to work?
It’s already 9.
We've worked 4 hours for nothing.
Come here. -What?
Excuse me, do you have a minute?
Would you like to work in a good bar or a club?
We're not looking for anything.
Are you a Wizard?
The Wizards are history we are the Bursts.
I thought all scouts were Wizards.
What?
Take a business card. -Thank you.
What are you doing here, man?
None of your business.
You know who scouts this turf?
We are the first scouts in Japan, the Bursts.
Any objections?
I have plenty.
Let's run.
We're lost.
It's the Wizards.
Help us.
Bastards.
I called Inspector Sunako to report trouble.
Alright.
It hurts.
Soga.
You guys are late.
How do you dare?
Hey, are you okay?
Shinjuku Bursts...
Welcome to Yokohama.
You guys went too far.
Don't you have limits?
You guys don't know where to stop.
I'm Shiratori Tatsuhiko.
We're gonna see each other a lot.
Today you'll be back to Shinjuku crying.
You guys are really arrogant.
Stop.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
I'm Inspector Sunako, Yokohama Central Police.
Take them all.
Hey, what are the charges?
We are the victims.
We'll hear that at the station.
Inspector, please listen to me.
Hey.
You're interfering with police action.
Why?
And your letting them get away.
You are right.
Guys, don't forget to come and press charges.
Hey, you guys don't make sense.
You are under arrest, be careful what you say.
Shiratori Tatsuhiko.
Go back to Shinjuku.
You don't work here.
What is your name?
Let me introduce myself.
I am a Haneman.
And this is Kill Bill, we are the Yokohama Wizards.
Introductions are useless since you're going anyway.
You'll remember me.
Press charge.
OK, let’s go.
Why did you come all the way from Yokohama?
Monbu group...
that you lead is backing our local protector...
President Tasaka the boss of Hourai group.
Yokohama and Tokyo have enjoyed good ties for a long time.
But recently...
the Burst group that you support has set foot in Yokohama.
They've started to stir up discord.
Hourai group knows it?
I came here first to report to you.
Would be great if the Burst left Yokohama, then?
Yes, and...
and I'd like our Wizards to take over Shinjuku.
And then...
an advance...
here is half a million.
Are you baiting me with money?
If you could kick out the Bursts and let the Wizards take over.
You go straight to the point.
And if I refused...
Good morning.
The Bursts are finished.
The Monbu group isn't backing us anymore.
Taki has paid them a handsome amount.
Get your guys out of Yokohama.
Get them back to Tokyo immediately.
There's no risk, Seki can stay there.
I told you to bring them back here?
As soon as they arrive report to Monbu.
Even if we abide, the matter won't settle.
Taki will come after us full force.
This is getting out of hand.
How about the contrary...
Boss, this is an interesting situation.
How about we take over Yokohama in stealth?
Tokimasa has a good idea.
If we're determined to crush them, it will work.
Alright, if such is your opinion, let's fight them.
Let's pay Taki back.
We'll enter Hourai's turf and erase the Wizards.
Wow, the day light.
Were they allowed to keep us two days?
I so need a cigarette.
Assholes.
We just have to kill that officer.
If you did that you'd have nowhere to hide.
Just kidding.
Jerk.
Jerk? You heard that?
Mr. Mako, how are you sir?
Tatsuhiko, listen...
don't come back to Shinjuku.
You guys are fired.
You are no longer Bursts.
No, Mr. Mako wait.
Mr. Mako.
Because of our Yokohama move, Monbu dropped us.
They chose the Wizards.
We can't fight Monbu group.
We are merged with the Hourai group.
Burst against Wizard, let's see who's best.
So, this is Shinjuku.
Are you guys ready for this?
Yes.
Moulin Rouge.
Burst's top-class club.
Indeed, a classy joint.
Welcome.
Do you have an appointment?
We are not guests.
Awesome.
From tomorrow Miki and Yukari work here.
So, you are scouts.
We are in business with the Bursts.
We had a talk with the Bursts.
So, you'll have to come with the Bursts...
Are you defying me?
You know where you are and who you're talking to?
We'll be back.
Bye.
Let's go.
All kind of groups come to see me.
But I don't need you guys.
I'm fine with Taki.
We understand, but...
we really need you to reconsider.
We can't conceive a blunt dismissal.
Please...
do I look like a whore you can buy?
Of course not.
A token of our gratitude for your kindness.
You want to die here?
Or take your small change and leave?
Do you know that the Wizard are taking over Shinjuku?
That would mean...
that they're allegiance will switch to Monbu group.
You're lying.
Taki would never dare such a move.
I consider him as my little brother.
I'm not taking gossip from people I don't know.
Forgive us.
We thought we had to tell you.
Fine.
I understand you wanted to see me in person about that.
You know my position.
Sorry.
Your conversation won't incline me to abandon Taki.
Go now.
The Wizard are taking Shinjuku?
Yes.
I'll crush them when I'm back.
On the contrary, more space for us here.
Stop blabbering, start your work in Yokohama.
The fight will get ugly.
Tatsuhiko.
Yes.
Monbu group dumped us, the Wizards entered in Shinjuku.
This is a fight to the finish, a fight for survival.
If we lose, the Bursts disappear.
If you don't make it, you're on your own.
I get it.
Are you ready to fight Mr. Seki?
Tatsuhiko.
We have a visitor.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
I am Kuraishi from the Wine Association.
Association?
They are Shinjuku's scouts, the Bursts.
Mr. Shiratori and Mr. Morinaga.
Mr. Kurashiki...
we have entered into a contract with the Wizards.
We can't take other scouts.
Why not, Mr. Tajita.
Pleased to meet you.
I am Shiratori Tatsuhiko.
Right, Mr. Kurashiki spoke about you.
Sir, our contract with the Wizards...
Kajita, there's no contract, we paid them, that's all.
Sure.
We'll just maximize our chances to gather girls by any means.
A competition between the Wizards and Burst would be great.
Thank you very much.
Alright.
Since it's the Chairman's decision, it is all fine.
We need to be ready in two months.
Please start scouting now.
Yes.
By the way...
how about organizing a beauty pageant with these girls?
We'll find sponsors and a judge panel, we'll have a major event.
It's a great idea.
We'll award $100,000 to the winning scout team.
Of course, not including your scouting fee.
Great, Mr. President.
$100,000.
Boss, we'll get many great girls.
Let's schedule the pageant for March 31st.
That's an auspicious day.
Chairman Sumitomo this is a great idea.
A contest between the Wizards and the Bursts, right?
We're sure to win in Yokohama.
Thank you, good bye.
A contest now? Come on.
We'll crush the Bursts anyway.
Yokohama is not their turf.
Whatever.
Excuse me.
Hayama, what is it?
I came for Yosuke.
Who is that? I don't know him.
Why are you lying?
You could help me instead.
And then what?
He was an excellent asset.
I want him back at to work in Shinjuku.
You are quite a tricky character.
I never know if you're serious or if you're kidding.
I don't want to stir up trouble.
I am a pacifist.
Hayama.
The Bursts will soon disappear...
Hideyoshi is dead... You have nothing to bargain.
I have nothing to discuss with you.
But drugs are circulating in Shinjuku.
Who is behind this traffic?
You probably killed Hideyoshi.
You see Mr. Taki...
I think you killed him.
Whatever.
That's enough, go now.
We'll meet again.
Miss. -Sorry.
It's about a well-paid job.
And here you are. -Sorry.
You look like my ex-girlfriend.
Nobody told you?
Sure, how would they know?
Wait.
Are you a celebrity?
Yokohama girls are so cute.
You scared me.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Would you like to work as a hostess?
I'm working already.
The position I'm offering is better, I'm sure.
You're kidding me. -I'm not.
That position is fantastic.
You'll call, right?
Bye-bye.
Tatsuhiko.
Aren't we doing a great job? -We are.
We've found 40 girls in two weeks.
Because we're the Bursts.
Wait.
Do you have a minute?
Just one minute.
It will make you happy.
The Wizards.
What do you want?
Move.
You guys are going for it.
Who are you?
I am Taki.
Taki?
You're Shiratori Tatsuhiko with the Bursts.
I came here to give you a lesson today.
Yosuke, Yosuke.
What are you doing?
Stop blabbering, just come.
Are you an idiot?
Morinaga, enough.
You stay out of this, guys.
Mr. Taki.
I'll follow you anywhere.
Tatsuhiko.
I used to be a football player.
My kicks hurt.
How about a little heading?
(Tatsuhiko)
It's Taki.
You even sent Seki to take over Yokohama.
Mr. Yamashiro... wait.
Say something.
I'll kill you, I'll kill you.
You get it?
It's the owner of this phone.
Bursts guys, listen to me...
you don't have a chance here.
Before it goes too far.
You'd better give up before it gets ugly.
Taki.
You even got Monbu involved, are you starting a war?
Bursts guys, let's be clear about one thing...
You came here, I'm just protecting my turf.
You'd better consolidate your position.
Bye.
Tatsuhiko.
Look what they did to him.
Sit him down.
Tatsuhiko. -The medical kit.
Is he okay?
Quick, bring the kit.
Come on, stay awake.
Your speech is very bold.
There's no harm in asking.
We don't know what to do anymore.
Amano Shuzen.
The president of Monbu group, is not easy to deal with.
Sorry, it was silly of me.
Forget it.
You're calling me to such a cold place, Seki.
Bear with my age.
Inspector Sunako, you haven’t changed in 10 years.
Because I'm still in my old inspector's routine.
Yokohama hasn’t changed at all.
But Taki and I have changed.
Have you met Taki?
No, he just roughened my young guys.
Taki is very strong.
And he's been sprinkling money around...
everyone's on his pay roll.
Inspector Sunako...
would you tell me where he gets his drugs?
What got into you?
Taki will fall soon.
Hourai group is going to dump him.
Don't bullshit me.
I'm quite sure Hourai group's boss Tasaka will protect him.
He can't trust anyone else.
The yakuza don't care about trust...
quick money is the keyword.
You have a point.
You just have to tell me where it is.
I'd like to know something too.
Back then...
10 years ago, when you got out...
why didn't you go back to Taki?
Don't come back.
No one wants to come back here.
Hey.
You did your time bravely.
Seki, leave Yokohama...
and don't ever come back.
$200,000, a farewell gift.
What do you mean President Tasaka?
You should thank Taki, he has a great heart.
What?
Hey.
Mr. Seki.
Arai...
please tell him.
When I was inside...
I was only dreaming of meeting him when I get out.
He had to use the yakuza.
His business was profitable...
I was only a bother for him.
Warehouse No. 21 in Honmoku.
The deal is on the 31th at 7pm.
Thank you Inspector Sunako.
Damn you...
you got me with your sentimental story.
It's opened.
This bastard.
It's Haneman. -Where do we start?
What happened?
Ryoko's club was trashed by the Wizards.
Don't cry.
Miss Ryoko. -Hey Tatsu-chan.
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
This is awful.
This is how Shinjuku has become.
It's the Wizards.
We saw them clearly on the cam.
You called the police? -I didn't.
Why?
I'm fine, I don't need police.
I have my personal channels.
Your channels?
I have an idea.
I get it.
We too have our channels to sort this out.
Take care of your health. -I will.
Let's go.
OK.
Wizards.
You're without a dime, no one backs you up.
You guys are outcasts...
how do you dare look me in the eyes?
Shiratori Tatsuhiko.
We don't need any of that...
we are the watchdogs of Kabukicho.
We'll do anything to protect our neighborhood.
What will you do in your situation?
You'll see.
This Morinaga with the Parasites.
He's not with the Bursts.
You'll pay for what you did.
I never fought with girls, be quiet.
I'm not starting now.
Me, I don't mind.
Come down.
Run.
Enough, idiot.
Look what you've done, idiot.
What the...? -Tatsuhiko.
Mr. Tachibana.
What's this mess? You're trying to harm the Bursts?
Is the Monbu group playing us against each other?
You... you bastard.
Listen.
For old friendship's sake...
we'll stop the damage here...
just be grateful.
Mr. Tachibana, thank you very much.
Let’s go.
Ah, this felt good.
Tatsuhiko.
Yuta.
We're outcasts, you guys don't need to be seen with us...
you all go now.
Sorry. -Go now.
Sorry.
Thank you.
I still have business to attend to.
I'll see you in Yokohama.
Mayumi, sorry for the wait.
What happened?
I'm fine.
Just practiced some boxing moves.
You guys have to practice that hard?
We do.
Aren't you in pain?
It's a shame what they did to the Moulin Rouge.
Yes.
But Madame Ryoko still pays us the basic salary.
We'll resume business after restoration.
Great.
Madame Ryoko is so strong.
Did you repay your debt?
The interest is too high I'll never catch up.
How much do you owe?
I have only kept up with the interest...
but the core debt rose to $28,000.
Loan sharks are merciless.
That's how it is.
I get it.
I will talk to them.
Don't make a sad face.
Lighten up.
Is it here? -Yes.
Coming in.
Tatsuhiko?
What is this?
Why did you come?
You guys are loan sharks?
His father had a little sum to invest, so we started this.
Aren't you... that girl who disappeared?
What do you mean?
Miss Ozawa Mayumi.
Half a year ago she disappeared.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to run away...
my landlord expelled me...
I couldn't pay for the phone bill either.
You guys are running an ugly business.
The interest has doubled, her debt keeps increasing.
We don't do such business.
When Mayumi disappeared without paying...
we had to sell her debt to a pro at great loss.
You sold it?
Tatsuhiko, do we look that successful to you?
Fair point.
I thought I was sending you home, where are we?
We'll be there soon. -Uh?
We're there.
Life has become a drag.
Don't be silly.
Everything fails around me.
I lost my confidence.
I just have to... -Hey, Mayumi, what are you doing?
My mom taught me in kindergarten...
the Bunny step.
Come on, Mayumi, it's dangerous.
I told you to stop.
Tatsuhiko. -Uh?
What if I jumped now?
It won't solve anything.
My life is unsolvable.
It's great to be alive.
I think I can fly.
I just have to believe it in my heart.
You're only going to die.
Why are you being so stupid.
I'm only a burden for you.
Mayumi. -Don't touch me.
Even if you stopped me now...
I'll try again tomorrow.
I'll come with you tomorrow.
You're lying. -I'm not lying.
I can't guaranty I'll be with you 24/7.
But if you threaten to jump.
I will come as many times as it takes.
Thank you...
even if it's a lie, it made me happy.
Mayumi, please.
I'm powerless, but I want to help you.
Tatsuhiko.
Mayumi.
If you believe it, you can fly.
Mayumi.
Mayumi, idiot.
Mayumi, are you okay?
I'm sorry, I was such an idiot.
You are really something...
you go all the way.
Mayumi, say...
"If you believe it, you can fly."
I don’t know who put that in your head...
but faith and hard work always succeed.
Isn't that what they meant?
Please don't do that again...
OK?
I am sorry.
Mr. Mako...
what you asked me to do...
I'm disposed to do it.
What do you mean?
I don't know how to work this out...
but now that my club was vandalized.
I'm ready to do what it takes.
Ryo-chan...
please.
And now...
I'm ready to die.
I came to you with a request.
I heard what happened.
What they did is terrible.
Of all places they chose your club.
Because of my exclusive contract with the Bursts.
I am a perfect target.
What do you want to do?
I need my club restored...
$2M for the suspension of my business.
You expel the Wizards from Shinjuku and dump them...
I need you to back up the Bursts again.
You have such requests.
What do I gain from this?
What would your heart wish...
the most from me?
You guess, I've come to your club for two years.
If your demand is unbearable, I might as well die.
I admire your resolve.
Good afternoon.
To President Tasaka of Hourai Syndicate, compensation for damages.
Restoration, medical expenses, suspension of business = $2M.
Good afternoon.
Taki.
What is this?
This is my share of Sumitomo's money that you gave him, I guess.
Why would it come back to me from Monbu otherwise?
I'll send you $200,000 Mr. President.
This was originally my operation.
You received 500,000 from Sumitomo.
And now you offer 200,000? you must be kidding.
How do you dare, bastard?
You went to Monbu with this money...
now they don't want your deal and they send it to me?
What is that about, bastard?
And then you sent your kids...
to vandalize a club in Shinjuku...
and cause $2M worth of destruction.
I'm sorry about that.
2 million you're going to pay, bastard.
Idiot.
You get it?
I get it.
Hey, throw him out.
Are you okay?
I can't...
that's tough.
Sorry.
Mr. Taki.
The incident with Monbu, Hourai group was in a rage.
They had to go that far?
It was President Tasaka himself.
Mr. Taki...
I'll go and kill him...
find me a gun.
Haneman...
don't talk about killing or guns.
We are not yakuza.
We don't do that.
I'm sorry that our action in Shinjuku had such repercussions.
Don't worry about that...
they came at us first...
you just did what you had to do.
Help me.
Ouch.
Arisa...
tell Yosuke that this drug deal will be his last.
At last I'm released of my duty too.
I'm glad.
What will Yosuke do?
He'll stop dealing drugs?
The Wizards will breathe a new life.
I will...
probably like that too.
I will give our younger Wizards...
to dream of future glory.
The Wizards caused a bit of havoc but...
it's solved.
I want to break the ties with you.
Isn't that extreme Mr. Chairman?
As soon as I employed Taki I got into trouble.
He didn't even give you my 500,000 for you.
Nothing went the way you said it would.
It was a mistake to leave Yokohama's business in your hands.
After all, you and I are outsiders.
We'd better behave as such.
Mr. Chairman, at this point you can't back off.
I'm connected to people way higher than your own boss in your organization.
You don't want to get on my wrong side with careless words.
We're done here.
Tatsuhiko.
Yosuke.
He wanted to see you.
You have 10 minutes together.
The Bursts are looking for me, right?
Yes, especially me.
I don't know if I should rejoice or be annoyed.
Come on, Yosuke, look at you now.
What did you do to fall that low?
I was... working... real hard.
Yosuke, what are you muttering, Yosuke?
Come here... listen.
Did you forget Hideyoshi? Drugs have dulled your feelings.
Don't blame me, Tatsuhiko.
Arisa... Arisa is Taki's girl...
but with Taki's consent, she also takes care of me.
Tatsuhiko.
As soon as I arrived in this town... women, money...
I got everything I could wish for.
You see...
now that I have found happiness...
leave me alone.
Yosuke.
Let's go, Arisa.
Wait.
I need to talk to Tatsuhiko.
Bitch.
Yosuke, what got into you?
Sorry, sorry, Arisa forgive me.
I'm fine, no big deal.
I'm turning crazy, Tatsuhiko.
I don't want to fight with you.
I consider you...
as my friend.
Let’s go.
Call in two hours...
bye.
Hello.
Thanks for calling, Tatsuhiko.
So, Yosuke is using drugs.
As he was dealing, he started using.
Taki wanted him hooked, right?
His next deal will be the last.
Taki wants to stop drug trafficking.
Of course, he's unpredictable.
Please take Yosuke and run.
It's unsafe.
Once that deal done, Taki won't need Yosuke anymore.
I also have beef with Mr. Taki.
I'll crush him.
Please keep in mind...
even though I don't trust him...
I'm Taki's girl.
When is the deal?
March 31st...
it's the day of the pageant.
Great, the three of you can call Miss Lisa.
Yes, sure.
Come here, Anna?
I'm Anna.
That's great. You're so cute.
Your name too is great.
Let me call you Anna-chan.
Anna, let's go.
This is my phone.
Please call me.
Bye-bye.
Call me OK?
Bye.
Hey, Kondo, you're on the clock.
You like her that much?
He really seemed into you, Anna.
Sorry to bother you.
This is who we are.
Wizard.
The two guys from Shinjuku you just saw are illegally working here.
But they said their club was right here.
It's a Wizard club.
They were nice.
But it's a scam.
Really?
They're all about hookers and porn.
What are you talking about? You said you'd come.
What, the Wizards?
Tatsuhiko, we have a problem.
What happened?
105 responded but only 55 actually came.
What happened?
It's the Wizards.
They are snatching away the girls we scout.
Shit.
We can't be bothered, just a week left.
Or better, we still have a whole week.
Everybody's gonna do they're best.
I never thought you'd use that.
Thank you.
I don't need to know who you intend it for.
If you kill someone, please don't call me anymore.
Hey, it's you Akemi?
I'm Tatsuhiko who scouted you the other day.
I'd be glad if you called when you hear this message.
I'll call again.
Bye-bye.
Tatsuhiko.
Mr. Seki.
Shit.
Only 3 days left.
Our efforts will be in vain.
Mr. Seki.
What?
I met Yosuke.
The day of the pageant, he'll have a drug deal.
Warehouse No. 21 in Honmoku...
so, he fell that low...
I don't need to know.
Drugs do that.
It's dreadful.
Let me go. -You don't need to go.
Scouting is out top priority.
You attend to that.
No.
I want to save Yosuke, and...
And what?
Taki?
Forget it.
Don't burden your mind with that.
The deal and the pageant...
That will be a stressful day.
Thank you.
Mr. Nakanishi.
How are you?
It's been a while.
Thank you for coming today.
It's finally starting.
We scouted fine girls, I'm not sure we have enough.
We brought 62 girls and the Wizards 119.
It's a stinging defeat.
They snatched more than 30 girls from us.
They resorted to unfair tricks.
If we lose that pageant we're left empty handed, Seki.
Mako...
we need to find something.
We lose?
119 against 62.
It's a crushing defeat.
Hey, wait a minute.
Tokimasa, how many girls are not yet assigned to clubs?
6 girls.
Send them urgently to Yokohama.
Within two hours.
What are you up to now?
Boss...
we haven't lost yet.
We'll fight till the end.
Hey, Ryoko-chan.
Mako-chin?
When do you reopen?
Well...
it's gonna take 8 months.
I need your help.
Here we are at last.
Our pageant today is sponsored by the Wine Association.
We want to express to them our gratitude.
It is also supported by the All-Japan Alcohol Conglomerate.
We would also like to thank our authoritative panel of judges.
Let us start...
with an address of the Chairman of the Association, Sumitomo Hiroki...
who will greet you.
In 3 hours.
Welcome everyone.
I am Sumitomo Hiroki, president of the Wine Association.
You don't have a chauffeur today?
Right.
Is the President here?
Whenever you come, my father will be here for you.
And now the pageant starts with the first group.
Let us welcome them with the warmest applause.
Wizard group
burst Group No. 1 Sato Rina.
Wizard group No. 2 Shimano Miki.
Please forgive the rebellion of a man who owes you gratitude.
What do you mean?
Seki is coming out of jail soon.
Yes.
Tomorrow.
We can't afford his meddling with our business.
Pardon?
Seki is a bother.
I'm fine with just you.
We either send him to the fishes in the harbor...
or send him with 200,000 and a pat in the back.
It's up to you.
President Tasaka.
Please allow Seki to come back to Yokohama.
Taki.
I am also protecting you.
Taki.
Avoid him and do as I say.
You get it?
Thank you for everything.
Mr. Taki, it didn't take long.
Just a courtesy visit.
Good evening.
Are you wearing a push-up bra?
Today I wanted to present my natural figure...
so, I'm not wearing a bra.
Do you have a boyfriend?
In fact...
he just dumped me yesterday.
Goodness.
This is great.
What is the present that made you most happy?
I was offered a small apartment.
An apartment? incredible.
Burst Group
Wizard group
Burst group
When we reach
That's tough.
Wizard Group
Anna.
The Wizards snatched her too.
What?
Anna.
Yes.
You have a charming smile and a perfect figure.
Thank you very much.
What talent do you have?
Well...
people often say I sing well.
Oh, if you could sing something.
Sing a song.
Please.
Ok.
(Tsugarukaikyou Fuyugeshiki)
Getting off the night train from Ueno...
She's good.
Aomori Station was covered with snow...
No way.
It was crowded with people walking silently.
You'll see.
Stop.
Ide, stop, Ide.
Let me go.
The Winter Scenery in Tsugaru Strait.
And this is all for the Bursts team.
Thank you for your performance.
Next, you will see only Wizards candidates on stage.
Mr.Mako.
Hello.
What? No way.
Sure.
Thank you so much.
OK.
I'll be waiting.
What happened just now?
Bursts are bringing in last minute candidates.
You guys are desperate, it's too late.
They could bring 1 or 1000 girls.
Both the Wizards and the Association agreed to let the girls in.
Great thanks very much.
Madame Ryoko came with all her girls.
We have a flash announcement...
from our sponsor.
The Bursts are adding 54 candidates to their list.
54 girls?
Let them come in.
The participants are invited on stage.
Madame Ryoko, we are so grateful.
It's nothing we're only opening in 8 months.
Let them work in Yokohama in the meantime.
Both the scouts...
and the hostesses...
have to show them that we don't accept defeat.
Right.
Yes.
Japanese yen.
The equivalent of $1. 2M.
Cool.
Ok Mr.Yosuke.
Same as usual.
Thank you.
Tatsuhiko will come now and run away with you.
You and me, we won't see each other again.
You understand.
I'm not going anywhere.
Fool.
This life is killing you.
Run as far as you can.
Don't say that.
You don't know Taki.
He only tolerated our relationship because you dealt for him.
Now, it's over.
In that case... come with me.
I'm Taki's girl.
I'm not yours.
I am sorry.
Mr. Taki is coming.
Give me the merch.
Masaki.
Hey, Seki.
You had to deal drugs.
I know all about your dirty business.
Give me a break.
There's nothing I need to explain to you.
Of course, and I feel the same.
I've held this anger for so long...
it's time I vent it out.
Great, bring it on.
Now, you're carrying a gun?
I leave you with the conclusion of the pageant...
Mayumi.
We should always be honest with each other.
I don't know how to express it...
there's a kind of magic when I look at you.
At me?
And so, it would be great if you showed this to everybody.
Tatsuhiko.
If you believe it in your heart, you can fly.
It's almost time.
Alright, I need to go.
Go then, stop dawdling around.
We don't need you anymore here.
Madame Ryoko, thank you for everything.
Mayumi, go for it.
Yes.
Gotta go.
Burst Group
Great. -Miss Mayumi
Mayumi
Great, good luck.
Tatsuhiko.
Seki, let me take care of him.
Told you not to come.
I've had enough of his rule.
We settle it here, once and for all.
Shiratori Tatsuhiko...
are you looking for another beating?
Such...
no one ever messed up my life like you did.
It's time to put an end to this.
Are you gonna piss your pants?
You seem nervous, are you confident?
Confident, sure.
Alright.
Do you have a talent?
A talent?
Yes.
Could you send some music please?
Music, music.
Wonderful, that was wonderful.
What dance was that?
This is the Bunny step my mom taught me...
it's not very stylish, but...
everything time I dance it...
it summons up my courage.
I see, you were really great, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Where did you go?
Asshole.
Let me help you.
Come with me this way.
Shiratori Tatsuhiko...
you're a tough one.
Seki.
We are even now...
I'm sorry for everything.
I always wanted to see you.
For two years I was waiting.
When you gave me the company...
nothing I did was working...
so, I called in the yakuza for help.
And what I couldn't achieve in 10 years...
they offered it to me in 3 days.
To me Hourai group's efficiency was like magic.
But it was all wrong.
I am not a captain.
You are the captain.
Yosuke, what are you doing?
Yosuke, please don't.
I'm gonna shoot. I'm gonna shoot.
Yosuke, it's all my fault.
Taki.
Please, stop.
Taki, I'm going to shoot.
Don't do it.
Yosuke, please don't shoot.
What's wrong with you.
You betrayed him, don't make a fool of me.
It's not true.
It's not true... you must see...
you still have a future ahead.
Shut up, shut up.
Yosuke.
Shut up.
What are you doing, Masaki?
Yosuke.
Masaki.
I'll kill you.
Don't, Yosuke.
Taki.
Are you OK?
Taki.
Arai?
This afternoon, Taki came at our place...
and he killed President Tasaka.
This is our revenge for the President.
Now I'll surrender to the police.
I'm going now.
Such.
He killed President Tasaka? That's why he had a gun.
Mr. Taki.
In fact, you had resolved to die...
Seki, thank you.
I'm glad it ends.
Such.
-Masaki.
Tatsuhiko.
Yes.
Take Yosuke back to Shinjuku.
This is the gun that killed President Tasaka.
Yosuke, go.
Mr. Seki.
Go.
Yes.
Yosuke, let's go.
The winning team is...
the selected candidates are
The Bursts wins.
Hello.
Alright, I get it.
How was it?
Come on, Yosuke.
Tatsuhiko, good evening.
Mr. Hayama.
I was looking for you, Yosuke.
Let me talk to him.
Feeling good with the drugs?
Mr. Hayama, what do you want?
It's Hideyoshi who hooked him up on drugs.
You hated Hideyoshi.
So, you kill him, right?
Did I...
kill Hideyoshi?
I'm not telling you to surrender.
The problem is...
everybody believes I made you kill Hideyoshi.
If you just told the truth I'd be relieved.
He's not in a good condition.
But you're there for him.
You just have to make it clear.
I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him.
If you don’t tell the truth...
you won't go back to Shinjuku.
When you come back...
I'll be in trouble for killing...
a drug dealer.
Mr. Hayama.
You don't mean it.
Our companies have merged, right?
I am the only one who comes from Harlem, Tatsuhiko.
He made me an outcast, I'm only a boss by name.
I can't let Yosuke go back to the Bursts.
In that case, you don't have a problem with Yosuke.
But with me.
You're welcome if you want it that way.
Tatsuhiko.
Stop.
I did it.
I had Hideyoshi killed.
What are you saying, Yosuke?
It's true, Tatsuhiko.
It doesn't matter anymore.
When you'll read this letter...
I will have left Yokohama, as you did then.
I'll leave everything behind.
I kept you waiting for so long...
I give you back Yokohama.
Seki, thank you.
Everything is solved, Hayama, right?
It seems so.
Taki died and Seki took over Yokohama.
Now your name is cleared, you're a true boss in the Bursts.
Should I believe this?
Since Yosuke...
took the responsibility for Hideyoshi's murder...
cheers.
Yosuke has been hospitalized.
Mr. Hayama is back in business.
Is Yosuke really involved in Hideyoshi's murder?
I still have my doubts about Mr. Hayama.
How about Mr. Taki?
The truth is surrounded with a cloud.
What is the truth in the end?
If people believe something hard enough...
that becomes the truth?
But...
even if you believe it, you still can't fly.
The truth must be hidden somewhere.
Alright, let's do it.
