TOEI presents...

Recently, income stabilization and

economic stagnation have threatened the financial security of many

organized crime families.

As a result many organizations are encroaching on rival territories.

Our biggest concern here at headquarters,

is the new trend of branches of the Yamashiro super-group

moving into Nishida footholds in the south.

Considering the pressure it's put on their gambling operations,

it's fair to say the Nishida group have their backs against the wall.

So, it's safe to assume even the smallest incident

could trigger an all-out war at any time.

It's a highly volatile, unpredictable situation.

Although it is our mission to prevent such an eventuality at any cost,

given recent public opinion,

you need to go about this the right way, to not make things any worse.

That's all.

Now the Chief of Detectives will commence his briefing.

- Shut up! - C'mere, asshole!

I watched it go into that hole!

But it's not there now, is it!

Let me talk to the goddamn manager. Not you, the manager!

Shut up, you bastard!

Go take a nap and wise up!

Watch it...

You know, we're with the Nishida gang.

So fucking what!

Thought we wouldn't notice, huh?

Theft's theft, even if it's something small like these pachinko balls.

We ought to call the cops on you.

Don't fuck with us!

Apologize for stepping all over us!

Stepping over?

Yeah, this here's Nishida turf.

Let's talk it over at our office.

We'll let you off this once.

You better watch your ass.

Let's go.

Tatsuo Umemiya

Hey.

What the hell! You're the punk we cornered.

That's a misdemeanour.

Say what!

Got a problem?

I'm on the job.

After you split, you racked up all sorts of points.

That's extortion, assault, larceny, shoplifting,

property damage, public indecency.

Good for about 3 years, I'd say.

Run!

Stop!

I said stop!

Obstructing justice, I'll give you this one for free. Come on!

Fuckin' punk!

Shitface!

Stand up. Walk!

You'd better come down to the station.

You got anything on you?

Look what we have here.

Slugs from a remodelled gun? Why'd you need these?

They're not mine...

Not yours? I found 'em in your pocket.

Don't play dumb, you idiot!

These are slugs for a remodelled toy gun.

They found identical slugs on the scene of the shooting, at the baseball stadium last night.

Where'd you hide the piece?

How do I know?

But you were at the stadium last night?

Not that I recall.

We already know all about your scalping business.

Which gang you up against?

Fuckin' idiots.

It's all over the papers.

Yamashiro's comin' after us.

Can't afford a paper on your salary?

Hey, Wakamoto.

This time around, even cops from headquarters are involved!

Think you're gonna get off with your regular bull, forget it!

Get your attention?

Now, now, now...

Just hold on.

You must be hungry. Eat up.

Don't hold back now.

When you're full, we'll have ourselves a talk, man-to-man.

What's wrong, man? Get a grip.

They say yakuza prove what they're made of after they've been cuffed.

Now, now, don't fret. Eat up and be a man.

Why don't you sit down and tell me everything.

Chief Akama's here.

Good work.

You from headquarters?

Name's Kuroiwa.

It's a big help, having headquarters involved in all this.

You wouldn't believe the contempt these guys have for cops.

I've got some dirt on the Nishidas myself.

You can ask me anything.

Yes.

Hey!

Said you're Wakamoto?

Yes. Much obliged.

Not so fast, there.

Stop trying to impress Mr. Headquarters,

even gonna eat that slop.

So, this is what the fuss is about...

These slugs are .38s.

Around here, remodelled guns are so flimsy they break,

so nobody goes bigger than a .22.

What's this punk doing with a .38?

My point exactly.

Chief, this rotten cop said it's mine and beat me up!

Look-a-here!

Just try and play dumb!

But you think a cop like me hasn't seen it a hundred times before?

Just work with me.

We can send you up for life or death.

That OK by you?

You fuckin' cop!

Fine, take that!

Now, now, now, now...

Now, now, let's simmer down...

That's enough, Kuroiwa!

You had orders to gather information, that's it.

Leave the investigating to others.

Sir, this is Kuroiwa's first case since he was transferred here.

He's doing his best to distinguish himself.

We don't need that sort of bravado!

The guy yesterday said you beat him up, too.

Chief Akama's here to be sure you don't overdo it again.

No, no, no. That's not it.

It's just some reporters are wise to the violence in here.

I just wanted you to know I was the one who let that punk go yesterday.

I've got my way of doing things.

I've walked this beat for years.

If you'd just let me...

I don't wanna hear it!

And quit cracking those knuckles!

That attitude of yours made you shoot that guy.

Even when we go after gangs, we can't resort to violence. We observe the law.

All you have to do is follow my orders to the letter.

Hey, your gun?

Where is it?

- At General Affairs. - Fine.

If you're that worried, why don't you transfer me somewhere, no guns, no violence.

Personnel's outside my jurisdiction.

Hey, Teramitsu,

Came to see the chief. In a meeting.

I'm Sanno's Chief, Akama.

Oh, you. You keepin' busy?

Thanks to you.

If you're in a rush, I'll take a message.

Just heard there's a personnel shuffle coming up top.

Hey, aren't you the cop who shot that guy two years ago?

Yes, I'm Kuroiwa.

He was rotting away out in the boondocks, so we got him back.

This is Teramitsu, former deputy chief.

Why don't you...

Hey!

Kuroiwa.

Nishida's boss has put together something, an apology for what happened yesterday.

He's waiting for you to show up. Just go and see him.

I don't need any apologies.

It'll be quick.

Let me start with introductions. This is Sugi, boss of the Nishida Family.

He knows how to get things done.

And here's Matsunaga's wife. He's doing time right now.

She controls the Nishida Family purse strings.

And that's Ezaki, the young lieutenant; with his brother Noguchi next to him.

The rest are all youngsters.

We apologize for the trouble these kids caused.

Won't you have a drink?

I don't need a drink to hear what's going on.

There's only one thing for cops and yakuza to discuss.

What is it you want?

Obliged. You certainly get straight to the point.

You folks in headquarters think we're all hot and bothered by this Yamashiro business.

But all any Nishida has ever known is how to count cards.

Gambling's everything for us.

As you well know, there's nothing like a fight to ruin a gambling game.

All to say, we don't have the slightest intention of going after Yamashiro.

That's for sure.

Yamashiro's coming after you guys.

That wild man of theirs, what's his name?

- Name's Kanai... - That's it! This cowboy Kanai's been

crashing their games on a regular basis.

I can't believe how patiently you've been taking it.

They've really hung on.

So, back to our request.

Can you trade us any information on Yamashiro?

This Yamashiro Group,

is so much bigger than ours,

their pockets so much deeper, that we don't stand a chance.

If you'll do it, we'll go

after any kind of information you can use in exchange.

Our fates are linked.

No point in either of us losing out in this game, right?

For your car fare home.

You should act like yakuza.

Have it out with Yamashiro, once and for all.

Don't come begging for scraps off cops.

This isn't what I came here to discuss. I'm gone.

Iwata, reporting back.

What is it?

He's the...

You the cop who took care of my boys?

That's me.

I'm Iwata, they call me the Bull.

You think I don't know shit?

Please, please, don't.

Don't cross a yakuza, man!

I'll show you what's what!

Please wait.

I won't let you act like this under my watch.

I'll accompany you.

Thanks.

That cop's a cockroach.

There, there. Time to forget about all that.

I'm sorry for the ruckus.

That kind of hard-headed man will flip as soon as the wind shifts.

I'll leave him in your capable hands, Keiko.

Figure out his price and buy him.

As you say.

How are things in Kyushu?

Soon as we give the sign, they'll send in reinforcements.

Okayama and Hiroshima have their asses in gear.

Why don't you pledge brotherhood with Ushinkai?

That'll shove a blade down Yamashiro's neck.

Now, now. Enough of this dark stuff. Bring on the geisha!

Where's my Mamechiyo?

Hey, Mamechiyo.

When did you get here?

A while ago.

You wouldn't wake up.

Figured I'd take off.

Hey, I know... let's drive somewhere, get nice and drunk.

You look pretty gone already.

Always the same hotel, the same fuck.

What's the point?

Hey.

An exec from a security company came in tonight.

Said he's looking for someone to head up his security guards.

Said an ex-cop would be great.

Why don't you talk to him?

Says the security business is booming.

Sure beats being a cop, chasing after yakuza.

Want me to chat to him?

Leave me the fuck alone.

So stuck up!

Why won't you just think about me for once?

All the other girls have their own bars by now.

What did you ever do for me?

I told you I'll break up.

How dare you!

You shot my ex!

And made me into this kind of woman.

Don't you feel responsible?

Freeze!

You're under arrest for murder!

Walk out like a real yakuza.

Fine.

Come and cuff me, then!

Honey!

Goddamn you! Murderer! Murderer!

Darling!

I feel responsible, that's why...

That's why after you saved my life,

you made me yours.

Hey, hey!

What is it?

Why won't you say something?

If you want to ditch me,

I'll only settle for enough money to open a bar.

Even though you're a cop,

you take someone's life, you owe damages!

What!

Go ahead, hit me! I'll put the cops on you!

Hit me, hit me!

Goddamn cop! Murderer!

You again!

Not me, you've got the wrong guy!

'Course you are! Accomplice!

Don't fuck with me!

Who sent you?

We're on our own.

Revenge for messing with us!

Liar! Idiot! Someone put you up to it. Who?

I swear it's true. Please, Mr. Cop, sir.

It's our necks on the line if we cause any trouble.

You think I give a shit!

No wonder the Nishida have gone to hell.

Swear to God!

We did the stadium shooting alone, too.

Nothing to do with the gang.

That's right, that's right.

We'll tell you everything, just trust us.

All right. Where's the gun?

Been a long time since I had a man.

Cobwebs up there?

You peeked!

Mom, Mom.

What, Hideo?

What happened to your face?

Gimme that package I left here.

Who's this guy?

A bro'... from the road...

Oh, I see.

Sorry for all the trouble. This boy is my son.

He's an awful lot of bother, but do look after him.

Here, please.

Sit down.

A cup for him, too.

Of course.

Mom.

Yeah?

I might have to go somewhere with this guy.

I might go on a trip with him.

Go ahead and drink, but keep a little dignity.

Look who's talking!

Don't lecture me, try fixing your own crazy self!

Look in the mirror!

I'm worried about you.

A little late in the game for that!

Won't you beat the shit out of this kid? He needs it!

Since he turned yakuza, he's so flaky. Always got ants in his pants!

Thing is, he never finished high school, he's no good for anything else.

Why, oh why, did he have to end up such a loser?

Lord knows, I struggled hard to raise him.

His father couldn't stop gambling and one day he just disappeared.

That's not for strangers!

There he goes. You don't know how hard it was!

But, you know, the thing is,

I know exactly how he feels.

I had to go out to find work, right?

So he'd take his brothers and sisters to the park, looked after them for me.

A bully'd come and pick a fight, and by the time

I got home, he'd be all beat up, just like he is now.

He couldn't stand losing.

I guess that's how he wound up a yakuza.

Cut the crap!

Why'd you have me in the first place!

How dare you!

It's too late to crawl back into my womb now.

So shove your neck down a gutter and die!

Just watch me! Go fuck yourself, you bitch!

Hey, Hide...

I already knew about your mom!

Shut up! Shitface!

Come on man. Cut it out.

Hide.

Hey, enough.

Give this to an honest man,

and have him turn it in, saying he found it.

Don't let me down, now.

And look after your mom.

Sorry.

Thanks, man.

KENGIKAI GYM

That's it, that's it!

Punch him hard! Move, move, move!

Came to arrest me?

I'm ready.

Where's the warrant?

I'm not here to chat.

I fucking hate cops!

I hear my boys owe you.

Send me the bill anytime.

- Thanks for last night. - Come here.

Bull's pretty quiet today, what's going on?

It's his temper.

He used to be in tight with the top,

but now with all that's happened he's kind of on the out.

Huh.

What do you need?

I need your advice.

Anything you want! Our lives are in your hands.

It's no big deal. Just a little side job.

Side job?

Game!

Three.

Your luck's gonna run out sooner or later.

Better call it quits.

I can't buy a bar with this.

- Who's buying a bar? - Never mind and shut up.

Game!

Damn.

Move over.

I'm broke.

Loan me a million on this?

Quit the bullshit.

I can't turn that into cash.

We know what kind of house you run,

the one that never loses!

You're gonna give me that loan!

Cool it.

When do I get it back?

I'll pay you back tomorrow, man.

You better.

With the last money too.

That's Kanai, over there. He's always bursting in like that.

Get him for holding?

Show him your badge and drag him in.

Idiot! How do I explain being here?

You two are gonna tail him. When he gets where he's going, call me.

Sure.

Do we get a badge too?

Oh, here.

For possession of illegal weapons.

Somebody help!

That's enough!

Kido.

Oh, Kuroiwa. From Johoku?

We meet again.

Come in. Let's talk.

He's not exactly a stranger.

You're Kuroiwa from HQ.

You know him too, boss?

He was assaulting one of our guests.

What did he do?

Possession of an illegal weapon.

Right.

Go ahead, search me!

Awful cocky, all of a sudden.

Meaning, you've disposed of it.

Now, now, now.

What the hell are you talking about?

I've walked your beat.

A rookie like you should watch what he's saying.

Kuroiwa.

All my boys here used to walk your beat.

We'd be the first to report anything wrong.

This precinct is like hell, compared to your cosy little police station.

Why don't you go back to school and learn about police brutality first?

Takeda and Kusumoto, huh.

Teramitsu, you deal with Yamashiro, too?

We've got a loan business here.

We're open to anyone who pays interest. Even you.

Don't hesitate to ask for help.

I know what it's like for a cop.

You only live once.

Got to live it up at least once, right?

I have great regard for your personal bravery.

A gift for your labours. No interest.

Gee, thanks.

What the fuck!

Don't!

It's his now. Let him do what he wants.

Sorry if you're offended.

You don't know shit about me!

What's his problem?

Bro', I saw a guy just like him

gambling in Ezaki's game last night.

Why would a cop be gambling?

It's been known to happen.

Seems like he's tailing the Nishida gang for information.

Could be interesting.

- Kanai. - Yes?

Go shake down that punk Ezaki.

See what happens. Maybe pick a fight.

Yes sir.

Hey, your time's up.

Pay up on everything you owe me.

That's 5 million, 200 grand.

Well, you see.

Paying you back's not a problem.

But first, let's get your grudge out.

What grudge?

Silence is golden, huh?

Spit it out! We didn't come to mess about!

I'll tell you then.

You run gambling joints, where you plant cops as customers to sell us out?

What's this crap?

First, you take care of

that guy you planted last night.

Then, I'll pay up.

Bro', it's useless.

You're paying in blood.

What the hell!

Split!

SHOOTOUT IN RESTAURANT, BROAD DAYLIGHT

GANG WAR INTENSIFIES

FLAGRANT DISREGARD OF GUN LAWS

SHOOTOUT AT NISHIDA OFFICES

COPS SOFT ON GANG WAR

DAYTIME SHOOTOUT NEAR SCHOOL

SCHOOLS SHUT FOR SAFETY

Mr Kuroiwa.

This place isn't fit for humans.

It's so high up, you could catch a plane here.

You seem quite exhausted.

Yeah.

All this commotion you folks've stirred up

is running me into the ground.

But if what Ezaki says is true,

the trouble with Kanai was about you being at a gambling game.

If that information should get back to your people,

you might be in a difficult position.

I see...

So, you've come to blackmail me?

I'm here to ask a favour.

I need to go away on urgent business.

But the police are watching me and I can't leave town.

If you were to join me, I believe they'd let me travel.

Where to?

Tottori.

Tottori?

My husband's being held in the penitentiary there.

Going to see your man, huh?

What for?

The fact you're not talking tells me,

it must be something important to do with your organization.

No doubt this is the reason you were gambling.

If that's insufficient, I'll do what I can.

Consider it, please?

Why's Matsunaga doing time?

They're teaching him a lesson for crushing the Minami thugs.

How long?

15 years.

Long stretch.

Seeing you might drive him out of his mind.

It's about Ezaki...

What?

We'd like to promote him to boss.

Everyone agrees.

And if you make him boss, what happens to me!

The boys all swear they'll stand by you.

Who the hell can guarantee what'll happen 14 years down the line!

Darling.

You don't realize it, but we're at a critical point now.

Someone's got to take charge, lead the men.

I won't have it!

Hey, enough of that!

You came and see me for this!

If you can't wait for me, come right out and ask for a divorce!

Darling...

Who are you sleeping with now!

What?

Who made you what you are?

Who the fuck made you?!

You're a yakuza's wife.

You should've hung yourself when I was condemned!

Ungrateful bitch!

You whore, goddamn Korean, go off and die!

The visit's over!

Hey, you'll wear yourself out.

I want to see the ocean!

People rot, but the ocean never does.

You mean him?

I told you not to see him.

The ocean!

It's always the same ocean, it can be furious, it can be playful.

Around here, it even changes colour.

Were you born around here?

Well, raised here.

I was born across the sea.

China?

Then it was called Manchuria.

After I came back here

when I was young, the local kids beat me up.

I wanted to become a cop,

so I'd be tougher.

So many times I've wanted to cross this sea and go back home.

You a returnee, too?

My father's from Korea.

My mother was Japanese.

She died while we drifted around shelters.

Dad swore he'd return to Korea.

He'd saved up all his money,

but he fell off a ship while working as a longshoreman.

Hey!

Come here!

Let me go!

I'm going back home! Let me go back!

Wait!

He wants me to die!

He told me, "Korean, die"!

I'm not gonna die! I have somewhere to go home to!

Fool!

Fortunately, the perpetrator was apprehended,

and order has been restored.

According to local reports,

the Western Alliance of Yakuza Organizations

is prepared to mediate the dispute.

Both sides are negotiating actively,

and the outlook is positive.

But we must remain vigilant,

particularly with the Nishida group.

We plan to break them up forcibly soon,

so we need all the dirt we can get on their bosses.

Once the bosses are out of the picture, they're good as gone.

That's all.

Any questions?

Kuroiwa.

Why just go after Nishida,

leaving Yamashiro untouched?

They may be yakuza, but they've got their ways and reasons.

Don't they deserve a hearing?

The Chief isn't interested in your opinion.

Your only job is to cooperate with our policy of disbanding Nishida.

Meeting adjourned.

Hidaka, here to report to the Chief.

Thanks.

Chief, this is Lieutenant Hidaka, on special assignment with Nishida.

A pleasure. Report to me in my office.

Hey, Kuro.

This where you've been? That takes me back.

We were in the same class in the Academy.

And at Johoku, too, right?

Every now and then I hear about your exploits.

You could still get promoted, so take it a little easier.

A warning from my Lieutenant?

Don't twist my words.

Because I was wounded,

I got a shot at education.

You're still my superior.

But you're above me on your beat.

Why not team up again, like old times?

Smash the Nishida gang to bits.

We pull it off, we get awarded Distinguished Service.

Oh, and while we're at it, let me speak frankly.

Hear you're with that stiff's old lady now.

I knew you were looking after her,

but if you've fallen for her, wow.

If you're in that far,

better make her an honest woman.

Think about it, what would everyone say?

I'll talk to her if you want.

Where'd you dig all that up?

Internal Affairs. Your boss knows too.

Is that part of getting promoted to Lieutenant?

Hey, don't get mad.

After what happened, she took pills!

Pills...

What the fuck would you know!

Watch your tone of voice when addressing your superior officer.

Kuroiwa!

One word from me and you're stuck on your beat for good.

Think it over!

Kuroiwa!

Yeah?

Who?

It's me.

That money you sent me the other day.

I looked for a bar,

but it's barely enough for a down payment.

I'll keep it all the same, thank you very much.

Hello.

This came for you while you were out.

And listen, I was thinking things over.

Why don't we make it official and get married.

Who're you calling?

You think about it, OK?

Hey, say something.

What the hell is that noise! Turn it off a sec!

This is important stuff. Why can't you be serious?

Hey, listen a sec! What's wrong with you?

What are you doing! Have you lost your mind?

You've got everyone complaining.

A cop! All the more reason!

You should know better!

Welcome.

Today, the Nishida organisation and Ushinkai have pledged brotherhood;

under the guidance of Mr. Kuze Kennosuke, Chairman of the Western Patriotic Alliance.

On behalf of all members of these brother organisations

I express our profound gratitude for your generous support.

Although western Japan

is the birthplace of masculine honour,

in truth, recently.

We've seen a lot of first-class idiots

strutting around without any idea of what the word honour means.

Although we members of Ushinkai are doing everything

in our power to prepare to rise to this challenge,

the Nishida organisation,

our protector in these troubled times,

has just announced that

Iwata Goro will be stepping in as Acting Boss.

Acting on behalf of Boss Sugi,

he has just given the order to sweep out the trash.

Though it may take a rain of blood and spears, we hope that

these efforts will purge the filth that has risen over our western skies.

In closing, I would request our illustrious assembled guests

to continue their gracious support.

Well, well, congratulations.

Hey, Bull.

Acting Boss is quite an assignment.

They just decided today.

But when push comes to shove,

I'll take the fall if you need someone gone.

Sounds like a plan. Soon as you're dead,

those two can really get cosy.

When was it, I borrowed this handkerchief from you?

Cut the crap!

What the?

You, shut up!

She's already got a real live husband.

Just because you want something sweet,

doesn't mean you can prowl around, stealing what you want!

You punk!

There goes the Bull again.

Who's he fighting?

Don't know, but he's sure got guts.

That's enough.

What better way to prepare for war. Let 'em fight.

Hey,

Forget 'em. Lead the guests to the second floor.

If they spoil our celebration, I swear I'll kill 'em.

Keep it up, keep it up!

I've never met a cop who's

half as stupid or wild as you.

I can take punches, but you

sure know how to give them.

Been doing this since I was a kid.

Me too.

So busy fighting I never knew I grew up.

Dad was an alcoholic, Mom was a whore,

so I shoplifted three meals a day.

No matter how much I got beat up.

I was always on my own.

I fought a lot, but I jerked off a lot, too.

After a fight,

I'd get a hard-on that wouldn't quit.

Know what I mean.

Yeah.

Nothing like it after a fight.

I get it.

Makes us jerk-off brothers.

What do you say?

How about a double party?

A party?

Hey, Amy and Sunny, c'mon...

What's so funny. Get over here.

You over there.

You over here.

Hey, hey, hey.

What the hell's going on?

I told you, it's a party. A party.

Wake up.

What?

Now that that's over, I gotta take your life.

Go ahead, it's yours.

Whatever you say.

For a cop, you've got real guts.

Stop waving that thing around.

I'm still on the job.

Well, gutsy cop on the job, I got a favour to ask.

What's that?

One of our gambling customers ran out.

On a debt of 30 million.

The guy leases Quonset huts.

Want you guys to get him for us.

We got a war chest to fill.

30 million's a lotta dough.

We're investigating Nishida's gambling ring.

I hear you're a regular.

I only went a couple of times with a friend.

Calm down, I'm not gonna bust you.

You can talk to me.

Had to let go of those Quonset huts, huh?

Yeah, well...

Paying off gambling debts?

I don't see what that's got to do with you!

Hey!

Cut the crap and fess up!

I'll tell you!

Hurry it up!

So, this is what the guy had to say.

The Crime Prevention Association

wanted to buy the Quonsets for retirees.

They signed a contract for 50 million.

But one of the patrons

was a Yamashiro man, Kusumoto.

He took the money, saying he'd settle more than just the Nishida debt.

The guy wound up with 5 million.

Kusumoto?

I've not gotten any money off him.

Lousy shithead.

A con man using us as bait.

And this Crime Prevention Association?

It's actually run by Sanko Enterprises.

Sanko Enterprises?

They're Yamashiro's watch dogs.

I get it.

They're trying to take us down while hiding behind a front.

What a bunch of punks.

Of all the dirty tricks in the book.

Kuroiwa.

Never mind the 30 million. Can't you do something about these men?

I'm afraid there isn't much I can do.

But talk to Chief Akama.

He could bust Kusumoto for extortion or fraud.

Best bet's to get the property returned to the guy.

Keiko. Go talk to Akama right away.

Yes.

Got a minute?

For your trouble.

It's not much, but it's yours.

Don't be ridiculous.

I only did it because I wanted to.

OK.

If that's how you feel, I'll keep it.

While we're at it, I owe you an apology.

What do you mean?

About Matsunaga. Keiko told me the whole story.

You know.

When we've got things under control here

I'll go and convince Matsunaga to divorce her.

By the time he gets out, she'll be an old bag.

Listen,

she's really paid for being a half-breed.

Matsunaga even made her walk for him.

Walk?

Prostitution.

But she's a solid woman. A good woman.

She deserves to enjoy life a little.

Listen, she really needs support from a guy like you.

If you promise to,

I'd like to toast our brotherhood.

Brotherhood?

That way,

she can freely give her heart to you.

But a cop and a yakuza toasting brotherhood,

that's not something you hear of much.

Kuroiwa.

I'm deadly serious.

But there's one more thing.

To tell you the truth

I'm full-blooded Korean myself.

You still ready to become my brother?

I see.

With pleasure.

Thank you.

Hey.

You guys are witnesses.

Yes sir.

From now on we're equals.

A pledge we honour to our deaths as brothers.

Look at this!

The victim went on the record.

What you did is blackmail.

You got proof I did it?

You got the conversation on tape?

Listen.

Where's the sales contract for the property?

Never seen one.

Think you're fucking with me?

You wanna fight, you yakuza?

I'm cooperating voluntarily.

That's your attitude, you need a warrant.

Listen to this shit!

Don't get so huffy.

A little air will help you relax.

You got a golf range here?

We got everything.

Well then, shall we?

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon...

What the hell is this!

What the hell are you doing!

I said exercise! Get up!

Damn you!

Come here!

Get up!

Look at this idiot!

See that? See that?

Wait, wait a sec!

Kuroiwa!

Your chief's on the phone.

Says to head back now.

I'll leave him to you.

Yes sir.

Did you call for me?

Kuroiwa.

As of today, I'm relieving you of all duties.

I've discussed it with the Chief.

Until the investigation is over,

you'll be confined to your home.

What investigation?

What do you mean?

Don't you even know?

Without a conscience, you're not fit for duty. Tell him, Hidaka.

Yes sir.

At the Pledge of Brotherhood between Ushinkai and Nishida,

you and Iwata bought foreign whores.

And you blackmailed the owner

of a mahjong parlour, under the name of Nishida,

then used the precinct

to drag him into custody on your own discretion.

A grave violation of regulations.

And then the worst problem,

you and Nishida's Iwata,

supposedly pledged brotherhood.

Is it true?

An officer of the law, swearing brotherhood with a yakuza!

If the Central Committee gets wind of this, we'll all be sanctioned!

Kuroiwa! Do you have any idea what you've done!

In addition...

Two years ago, after shooting that yakuza,

you started seeing his mistress.

You're a disgrace for an officer!

Anything to say for yourself?

No.

Not good enough, idiot!

Quit punching your fist.

The blood running through my veins

is no different than theirs.

We're all human. That's all.

I don't understand.

It's not the sort of thing I'd expect you to get.

- What the! - Kojima!

We'll refrain from going public because of the embarrassment it would cause.

But remember, you're under suspicion of violating civil service regulations.

You're allowed no outside contact, especially with members of Nishida.

If you violate that, we're taking you in.

They even know about Iwata and me.

There's an informant in your ranks.

I'll expose the bastard.

But you better watch your back.

They may be tapping your phones.

We'll take care of our traitor.

You should break off with us,

look after yourself, your interests.

My interests are with you and Iwata.

We made a vow, didn't we?

Forget about me. Protect the Family.

Yamashiro's got ties to major corporations,

so they're freaked about the cops.

When their Boss gets out of the hospital, he'll meet his men.

He'll never manage to control them.

Hit them with everything you've got,

and you'll definitely finish them off.

They may be watching. You go first.

Kuroiwa.

Back up!

Stop!

Back up, hurry!

What are you doing!

Get in, fast!

He's in!

Go! Drive!

Welcome back, sir.

Catch them!

Don't go, bro'!

- Hey. - What?

Which club's Boss Takeda in?

That one.

What the!

The First Riot Squad is covering the leaders and headquarters of each organisation.

The Second Riot Squad is assigned to establishing roadblocks on major travel routes.

Third Riot Squad, consisting of various smaller squads,

is patrolling the areas considered of highest risk.

Thus the leaders responsible for the gang war will be brought to justice soon.

No, don't worry about me.

Things are just getting interesting.

Make sure the cops don't nab you.

Here, you've come to visit,

and I'm so busy we can't even talk. Sorry.

Don't worry about it.

But listen, the cops are after you guys for real.

You'd be safer elsewhere.

A yakuza's got no right to die lying down.

Besides, I hate to say this to your face,

but the cops are tight with Yamashiro.

I'll settle the score with them for

bumping you off your beat, man.

Keiko...

go get this man a real meal.

He's been living on cold rice.

It's from Nara.

Yeah, it's me.

When are you sending that dough? I need it quick.

The Crime Prevention Hall issue's still pending,

and several of our fundraising checks

found their way into Sanko's hands.

Trying to clean you out, huh.

The informant's probably a Sanko plant, too.

I'll cover that angle.

Kuroiwa.

I got curious and tailed you here.

Who'd you come to see?

Is Iwata in there?

This is Unit 25 reporting to HQ.

- Kuroiwa! - Move him!

Come on, hurry!

Under strict warnings

from local State Police, Ushinkai's members

have withdrawn from the feud.

And the Yamashiro organization

has decided to refrain from aggressive action.

You guys are the only hold-outs!

Damn, that's bright.

If you gotta have it out with Yamashiro, we'll take you on.

Ready for an all-out fight to the death!

Calm it down. I hear you loud and clear.

This kind of fighting, costs us a pretty penny, you know.

But my boys have a say in all this too.

No, you're the instigator.

Instigating a riot, that's 15 years.

Now just hold on.

I'm just the front man, like a gilded buddha in its altar.

The real movers are...

Who is it? Iwata?

Yeah.

Well, he's Acting Boss.

With Iwata out of the way,

you'd get it together and settle with Yamashiro?

Even disband your organization?

What'll it be?

Say yes, and you're out of here tonight.

No, and you go straight to jail.

All right. You've got me.

Good.

Write down where Iwata's hideout is and give a full report on his role.

The old man caved in.

I see, that's excellent.

We were just talking.

Teramitsu will keep the Yamashiro under control.

Please. You've got the most sway out of us all.

Leave things to me.

But I'm counting on your support with the Crime Prevention Hall.

OK.

About Iwata's hideout,

even the old man doesn't know.

Huh? Maybe Kuroiwa would.

It's me.

Did you get what I sent?

Yes, thank you.

It's a thing of beauty.

A fine ornament for my office.

That thing cost a cool million. Take care of it.

Getting back to business, the old man's caved in.

The problem's Iwata.

Can you guys bring him in?

The thing is, he moves every day. He's a sly one.

We're doing our very best, but...

About that transfer I asked you for the other day?

Yes, I've cleared it with the top brass.

What's this static. Check for a bug!

Yes sir.

I need to see Iwata.

Tell him to come to my place tomorrow.

Right.

Where's Iwata hiding?

You should know. You're his bro', right?

Jerk!

Think you can take some more?

We're close.

Try that stuff.

This is a new drug.

Originally used by the Nazis to make prisoners confess.

You're gonna help us see how effective it really is.

How is it?

Can you feel it yet?

I'll ask you again. Where's Iwata hiding?

I don't like this.

Where's Kuroiwa?

Don't worry.

We're brothers, so we just sit tight.

- Sure. - Go out and get some booze.

Watch out.

That was fast.

Freeze, freeze!

Don't move!

It's about time you broke.

The right to silence won't get you anywhere.

Hey, Bull. Still exercising silence?

He won't say a word.

Well, have fun here tonight.

We'll make you sweat down at HQ.

Go ahead.

I'm not confessing to any double-talking hicks.

Remember.

I'll tell HQ all about how you drank from our cup.

What are you talking about!

I know how you feel.

I'm in a rough spot, too.

I'll take care of you. Take a deep breath. Just calm down a little.

Iwata. A gift from the chief.

I won't say no to a little treat.

- Want a smoke? - Yeah.

Not here. Go smoke it in the john.

You guys set me up!

Yeah, it's me.

I see. Excellent.

SUSPECT ATTEMPTS ESCAPE, FALLS TO HIS DEATH

Your business?

Your name?

Stop. Don't bother.

They're armed with taxes.

There's no way we can beat that.

And in a way, Iwata got what he deserved.

All we can do now is mourn him.

Nobody goes near Yamashiro. Understood?

Yes sir.

We just have to bear the storm and wait for times to change.

Sir.

What?

Kuroiwa.

Forgive me. Forgive me.

Kuroiwa. No one wants you here.

Time for you to go.

I beg you.

If there's anything I can do... Anything at all...

Please tell me. Otherwise... otherwise, I...

Iwata...

Move!

Give it up!

Idiot!

Where the hell do you think you are!

It was him!

He killed Iwata!

We were the only two who

knew where he was!

Stop it, stop it now!

Let go!

Throw 'em out! Throw out the whole bunch!

Get 'em out of here!

What's this?

You left me no choice.

The only thing that would make you sleep was smack.

Tell me.

Who sold him out?

Was it you?

It had to be you.

This isn't revenge for selling him out.

It's because you betrayed me!

Yes.

I had you all wrong.

You can trust a yakuza more than a cop!

Keiko.

When you shoot...

don't pull the trigger so hard.

Shoot softly.

With a light touch.

Try it again.

It's true

I betrayed him.

I've got nothing more to say.

Do what you want with me.

Keiko...

Keiko.

I...

started walking the streets to support myself when I was thirteen.

A hooker.

Shooting up was the only thing I looked forward to.

That's the kind of woman I am.

Ditching a man is easy.

I'm not in love, not with you, not with Matsunaga.

I belong to no one.

I don't belong to the Nishidas.

Iwata's just a senior and nothing more.

I'm not Korean. I'm not Japanese.

I'm not even a half-breed.

I'll... turn into a spirit and fly away.

Keiko.

You're my woman.

You're mine.

I never betrayed you.

Just watch. I'll prove it.

Just you wait and see.

I'll prove it to you.

POLICE HEADQUARTERS

Hey, Kuroiwa.

What's with the arm?

I hear you're leaving.

Yeah, I may quit.

I want to turn in my gun personally. Can I have it?

Sure.

There.

The fact that Nishida has agreed to

follow our warning and voluntarily dissolve is commendable.

We welcome your support for democracy.

- Kuroiwa. - What the hell do you want!

Teramitsu.

This is the perfect occasion.

Please tell everyone here just exactly what happened.

What are you talking about?

You know very well.

About Iwata and everything.

Just tell them honestly.

Please. I beg you.

You have to.

Are you high?

You seem to be on something.

Kuroiwa, you shooting up now?

Leave him be.

An addict belongs in a hospital.

Sir.

Hidaka. Arrest this man, and the Chief, too.

Kuroiwa!

He's obviously mad.

Hidaka, get him out of here.

Yes.

You!

Just wait. Let's discuss this. We can talk it out.

Kuroiwa!

Kuroiwa! Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Darling!
