'April 1988'

No, guys, please.

Give him pig shit.

Open your mouth.

Isn't that delicious?

So hot and smelly here...

I can't stand it.

Didn't you have a better place to do this?

Mr. Nozaki, I'm begging you, please.

I'd rather die than talk.

Then get back in there, shithead.

I'm fed up with these guys.

- Hey Sumo. - Yes.

Come on, you can't do that.

His hand.

You can't do that.

Hold his hand.

Fucking idiot, how can it be so tough?

Good.

Did you enjoy?

You know what? How about another one?

Don't do it, please, don't.

Sure, I'll stop... but Uesawa, tell me...

Who wanted the money of Kurehara Credit Union?

It was all for me.

I see...

You took it all for yourself?

No one asked me, it was for myself.

He's sticking to his version.

I'm sending you his finger as an apology.

His finger? Are you kidding me? Won't be enough.

What do you mean 'won't be enough'?

The boss says he wants his head.

His head?

"In 1994, in Kurehara the Odani group..."

"declared war on 'Irako's Clan' in Hiroshima."

"It was called 'The Third Hiroshima Conflict'."

Saimoto.

Sorry.

"The revenge escalated on both sides."

"They were sinking deeper into a a bloody marsh..."

"where both sides were losing."

"Hiroshima police arrested yakuza Boss Odani."

"After 14 years, the era of the yakuza rule was fading away."

"But then a new war was threatening in Kurehara."

"What was left of Odani's forces was regrouping."

"Their target in Irako's Clan was the Kakomura group."

'The Blood of Wolves' (The Blood of the Lone Wolf)

'August 1988 Kurehara'

Hioka, come on he's waiting.

Yeah.

So when was the last time you spoke with your brother?

Last April, I called to enjoy the cherry blossoms with him.

I see.

You hadn't had news for months...

surely you were worried, right?

Excuse me.

What took you so long?

Did you dig the ice from the North Pole?

I'm sorry, sir.

Please, enjoy, take your time.

Sorry, we don't have the air conditioning.

April you said? But that's when he got transferred.

Wasn't he assigned to a position at the Credit Union?

No, his stuff, his underwear, even his car keys...

everything was still at his place.

What the hell do you want?

Pardon?

Don't sit there, bug off.

I have to...

Did you hear me? I don't need you...

Just scram.

Ha ha, sorry.

So, let me get this right this is him?

He was working in Kurehara?

Yes, behind the station.

'Interrogation Room 2'

It's so hot.

When he questions a lady, he wants a 'man-to-man'.

Pardon?

He needs her to let her guard down, to bare herself.

But honestly, I think Wolf is messed up.

To take a rookie like you, Hioka...

as a partner, is such a mismatch.

Did you piss someone off 'upstairs'?

Absolutely not.

Anyway, he won't bite you, you can relax.

I so needed this, thank you so much.

Alright, thanks for your help.

I'll call you if anything new pops up.

'Kurehara Station'

Are we investigating?

I didn't call you, just go.

But I've been assigned with you.

Did you graduate from Hiroshima Univ.?

Pardon? Well, yes.

Such a good university...

how did you land such a lousy job?

Surely you had countless options.

Alright.

We have a clue?

Idiot, more chances to hit the jackpot after a fuck.

Are you a scarecrow?

Why are you standing there?

You see that huge gorilla over there?

Right.

Pick a fight with him.

Pardon?

Do you want to be an inspector? Go over there.

I'm not a school kid.

You're useless, you'll probably be assigned to traffic.

College kids can't do the dirty work when needed.

Pick a fight with him?

Oh, you suddenly grew balls.

Don't worry...

I have your back if it turns bad.

Look at that I'm soaked.

My new shirt is soaked.

Uh? You think I give a fuck?

Jackpot.

In case you didn't know, I'm a Kakomura man.

You're not going out alive.

Sorry, I didn't mean to...

but you did it.

Don't do something you could regret.

I am a police...

Sumo.

Mr. Officer.

How about some restraint, don't kill him.

Possession of a deadly weapon, how many years is it?

Pardon?

What's the sentence for that?

Up to two years.

How about assault?

That's two years too.

Obstruction of justice?

Three years.

How much in total?

Seven years.

You heard that? Seven years...

almost as much as murder.

You framed me?

You're as rotten as ever.

You think we'll let you get away with that?

We have lawyers.

You think the gang will spend on a lawyer...

for a small time like you?

How about I go to your car...

in the parking lot and search it?

Suppose I find just one gram of coke...

how about prison meals for ten years?

Now tell me Nawashiro...

Do you know Kurehara Credit Union?

I heard one of their accountants is missing.

You tell me where he is...

and I'll let you off the hook.

No idea, never heard of him.

Let's have it then... ten years, cuff him.

Alright.

Even if it was twenty years...

I can't tell you if I don't know.

Even in the face of death I won't talk.

Come on, I was kidding...

you should have seen your face.

I won't tell anyone about our conversation, no worries.

There, eat these.

Hi.

Welcome.

What?

Sweetheart, can you take care of him?

Sit down.

You used me...

just to have that little chat with him.

That Kurehara Credit Union where Uesawa was working...

is a front for Kakomura group to launder money.

They're loan sharks resorting to violence to collect.

Kakomura heavily relies on that.

Odani are ruining their business.

Eventually this will lead them to war.

Isn't it an officer's duty to stop them before?

You saw how Sumo reacted just now.

He'd do the time rather than talk.

The accountant did not just disappear.

He did not?

Oh I'm sorry.

'Super Shark Extract'

What is that?

Do you know karate?

Yeah.

Why didn't you beat him up?

You think we learn karate to beat up people?

What kind of bullshit is that?

If you can't live up to it don't do it.

If he had a gun...

would you have survived?

So you believe Jiro Uesawa was killed?

90% sure, nay 99% sure.

If we search Kakomura...

we're sure to find something.

Doi, what do you say?

You were undercover in Kakomura.

I heard that the accountant simply resigned.

But we can't raid them...

without solid evidence.

Look at you, you're scared...

we'd find something on you at Kakomura's.

Just saying, don't raid without evidence.

Chief Inspector Mori, what do you say?

We know that Kakomura are expanding their territory...

But we need evidence to move in...

they could sue us for that.

Odani won't hold much longer.

Chief Inspector, do you take responsibility...

If a war breaks out?

Thinking about it...

you're spending much time with Odani's guys.

Some say that Odani...

has a mole in our Division?

Keep pushing me.

Guys, guys, calm down.

Okay, just a little kiss.

Ah, you're great.

Goodbye.

- Thank you. - Thank you for coming.

What's this?

Aren't you guys from Kakomura...

You can't ignore that you're on Odani's turf.

That building was for sale.

We are Japanese citizens on a Japanese turf.

Uh?

What did you say?

Are you being smart?

What?

Damn weasels.

You want more?

Your ear tastes like shit.

I want to hear it once more...

you like this place so much...

you want Kakomura group to move out?

Is Moritaka back?

Yes.

Please come in.

'Odani'

"Inspector Wolf welcome."

It's so hot lately.

The boss is coming soon.

Hey, it's you Takashi?

I heard you're often with Madam Riko at her Club?

The news go fast.

Look at you.

The face of a cute puppy...

I bet you're a real pit-bull in bed.

Mr. Wolf...

we can't take it lightly anymore.

Nagakawa, didn't I tell you to hold it?

You hear me when I talk?

What do you have to say? Talk.

Easy.

Kakomura is going too far...

we have reached our limit.

I just told you to suffer them...

until the boss gets out.

This is what makes us yakuza...

we don't let anyone step on our toes.

Moritaka.

Kakomura is provoking you...

because they want you to move...

before Boss Odani gets out.

They're pushing to get you arrested.

You fall right in their trap.

We've had enough of your sermons.

If the police doesn't move on Kakomura...

we're going to move.

Listen to this idiot.

We found what we needed to take Kakomura down.

Can I trust you?

The whole plan is in my head.

'Riko's club'

"Thank you for your visit."

My chauffeur looks like shit...

but he's a Hiroshima graduate.

You mean that kid has his doctorate?

Absolutely...

today I want to hold his welcome party.

That's amazing.

Come, let Madam Riko touch it.

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

Don't worry.

Madam is a 'balls fortune-teller'.

No, no, no thanks.

Riko, look Takashi is going to fly off the handle.

Don't worry, Takashi has everything he needs, right?

Ruff, ruff.

Welcome…

Hey...

do you have a table?

Kakomura...

Irako is here too? What's going on?

Look what we have here.

I was wondering who that handsome guy was...

Mr. Ichinose from Odani.

Inspector Wolf from the East Division too.

What a coincidence.

I'm literally, clitori-lly stunned.

Excuse me, your table...

I was nearby for some minor business...

they invited me to this place...

to meet Kurehara's most beautiful lady.

Is that right?

So you are the Madam?

You deserve your reputation.

You're flattering me.

Let me take you to a more private place.

"Sir, you are a naughty boy."

Mr. Irako, excuse me, you're on our turf here.

Are you too old to read a map?

Look at this punk...

try to say that again.

Who is the punk here?

You wanna die.

Repeat that.

You guys have a big mouth.

What's that about?

Do you dislike us that much?

Kakomura call back your guys...

they're disrespectful.

Yes, I'm sorry sir.

You can't expect them not to react.

Mr. Irako...

considering the situation, how can you act like this?

You come on Odani's turf...

you grope the Madam's backside.

What plan are you hatching?

A plan? I was in the neighborhood.

And I asked Mr. Kakomura, here...

to not argue with Odani's guys.

Look at the mess Kurehara has become.

And now people from Hiroshima...

find it hard to run a business.

Right?

"What's your name?"

"Sweetheart, why don't you pour us some wine?"

"He threw me into a fight..."

"the next day he met Odani's men as a brother..."

"I suspect he's in collusion with them..."

"and that he accepts envelopes."

What a drag.

'Laundromat open 24 hours'

The bandage moved.

You want me to re-do it?

Yes, please.

It's OK.

That guy with you yesterday is an inspector, right?

He brings guys with swollen faces...

to our pharmacy.

He uses our place as a dispensary...

for some unknown reason.

Why don't you quit this job?

What?

I don't want to badmouth him but...

you should find another branch quickly.

Working with this old dude...

you'll only waste away your youth.

"You see, people...

have just one life to live."

It's not that dramatic.

I've been waiting for a chance to say that line.

What are you saying?

Oh, that's the Credit Union accountant.

Thinking about it...

I haven't seen him lately.

Their company has closed.

But the Kakomura guys...

are still coming here, right?

I'd be grateful if you could ask around.

I can't do that...

they are good customers, you know.

Let me have one of these.

'The wolf'

Yes.

No bag thanks.

You're always so kind to me.

If anything happens, I'll call you.

Sir.

This is great.

I heard that Kakomura was looking for a man.

Hioka, bring the photo from my suit pocket.

This man?

It could be him...

can't be 100% sure.

Thanks.

Sir?

What is it?

You can touch my boobs, if you want.

I can?

A gift on the house?

Thanks.

What's the number?

It's the code for emergencies.

That kid, really...

Isn't this the right-wing nationalist Jinseikai group?

So what?

"Yoko don't do this."

"Please calm down."

"That's the last straw, this time."

"If you don't tell me everything..."

"you can pack up your stuff."

"Tell me now."

Ungrateful bastard, I'll kill you.

Just wait.

It's me, inspector Wolf.

Take a moment to think.

It's too late.

Don't get involved or I'll...

Just wait.

Can you just tell us what happened?

That dog even fucked a teacher of my son.

And I'm the director of the PTA.

Can you imagine the picture?

It's not like that, we were only having tea.

What was your car doing in front of that hotel?

Yoko, wait, please wait.

Yoko, calm down, please calm down.

Friend, you just saved my ass.

Only you, Wolf, could stop that fury.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

How many times did I tell you at the brothel?

Even a friend can't help you forever.

Right, I know.

There, for you.

There, young man...

your transportation fee.

No, no I'm fine...

forget it... how about our case?

Kurehara Credit Union?

As I said on the phone...

whatever I know, I can't tell.

Kakomura is affiliated to our Jinseikai group.

We are brothers.

I can't shoot myself in the foot.

I get it... OK then.

I'll tell Yoko about that girl in Fukuyama.

Wait, alright, alright, wait.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed."

Don't tell anyone I told you.

It was in April...

guys from Kakomura...

were raising havoc in a nearby hotel.

They took a man that day.

In April?

Ginji, I owe you one.

Wish you all the best.

Shut up.

"You're bad for business, just leave."

Some people saw it.

Just show us the guests' record.

You know I can't do that.

Did the Jinseikai point you to my place?

You think that being a cop...

allows you to barge in here?

"Hello, this is Taisho Hotel."

Inspector Wolf, he has a security camera.

"On the 30th, right."

Inspector Wolf?

Eric Paroissien - Translation eric.paroissien@gmail.com

Where...?

What are you doing?

Keep watch.

What?

What are you...?

Move aside.

Sir, you can't do that.

Tell me what I can do, idiot.

I'm so glad I bought this one.

Fire.

"Daisuke, Get the fire extinguisher."

I got them right where I want them.

That's not the way.

Sir?

You can't act like a criminal.

The tapes, find the surveillance tapes.

No, I can't do this.

What's wrong with you?

Blah-blah-blah.

Sorry, just a reflex...

Sir? Are you alright.

Mr. Wolf, you hear me?

Someone spilled heater kerosene.

'April 1988, lobby tapes'

Isn't this Nawashiro?

It's here, stop.

That's it...

they're caught red-handed.

That's him.

That's Uesawa.

Doi, these four people are from Kakomura, right?

It looks like it.

Aren't you screwed, Doi?

I resent your innuendos...

you're totally mistaken.

Guys, enough fighting.

We'll get a warrant to arrest them tomorrow morning.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Hioka, let's go for a drink?

Let's celebrate our success.

You hear me?

Sorry, I can't...

accept that.

Breaking and entering, arson, theft...

you're looking at 10 years minimum.

I don't remember I stole the tapes.

You're taking bribes from those thugs.

They're for the division fund...

all spent on investigations.

'Riko's Club'

Did the Kakomura guys come again?

Madam.

Madam, I heard you are Kurehara's finest lady.

Who told you?

In jail I had a pearl inserted down there...

Would you like to see it?

You're naughty.

Enough geezer...

get a room already.

Love songs really? Look at yourself.

What a fierce tiger...

but you see...

I like kindness in men...

not roughness.

Don't lie to me...

I'm sure you're all wet already.

Drenched.

"Nasty character."

"I'm so horny."

Madam, let's retire somewhere...

I'd like champagne.

Better than champagne...

let me offer you this drink.

Never seen a woman I fondle that much...

and still isn't responsive.

She's frigid for sure.

You bet.

But behind that facade...

I'm sure she's a nympho.

Stop.

Hey, there.

What's that?

Just come.

I'll kill you.

Hey, gimme some space.

Look at this beauty I received...

from the Philippines yesterday.

Let's have a test run.

It's raining now.

Wow, I'm so wet.

Totally soaked from head to toes.

Come, quickly.

Quick.

Come in.

Excuse me.

A towel.

Thank you.

Ah goodness, my laundry.

Are you OK?

I'll have to dry it all again.

Completely drenched.

Your place is quite big.

Because I live with my husband.

It's not true.

He left me.

We divorced half a year ago.

He was an awful man.

Piling up debt...

we couldn't live decently.

He was venting his anger on me...

it was unbearable.

But, look at my luck...

I find another man...

and he's a cop.

I'm sorry about that.

My lot isn't better than yours.

I spend my days chasing rotten yakuza...

teaming up with a partner even more rotten.

You speak so fast.

"The rotten lettuce really reeks", here's a tongue twister.

I guess it's getting late.

You can sleep here, maybe?

Uh?

The rain will not stop.

I'll draw a bath for you.

I'll get some beers.

I'm taking this umbrella.

So cute.

Get off me.

Shit... you're from Odani.

I'll remember this.

Get in.

Hey, good job.

He fired three times at you.

'Kakomura head office'

Sir...

Hey... what are you doing?

No, you tell me what you're doing.

You know what you did?

Are you an idiot...

Why did you chase Bizen?

He had just fired his arm.

Idiot.

Takashi was killed tonight.

Takashi... Takashi... Takashi... Takashi.

Oh, no...

No, no, oh no, Takashi.

Oh, a visit from Mr. Wolf.

That was a great feat tonight.

I thought your Division was partial to Odani.

But tonight the real culprit was arrested.

I didn't expect you to be so quick.

Kakomura...

I didn't come here to hear your flattery.

Someone was murdered tonight.

Murdered?

Nozaki, you heard something?

I don't know about that.

What a hip of bullshit.

We have witnesses...

who saw the murderer...

fighting with the victim.

We're yakuza...

fighting is our livelihood.

And so...

who are you looking for?

Aren't you looking for Sumo?

We haven't seen much of him, lately.

Where did he go?

I remember he said "I miss my mom's tits"...

then he probably went back to his hometown.

I get it.

You can laugh now...

as long as it lasts.

"To avoid the war..."

"between Odani and Kakomura..."

"Wolf thought he could convince..."

"the Odani Boss in Tottori Penitentiary."

"Tottori Penitentiary"

I'm glad to see you in so good shape.

Mr. Wolf...

I'm glad to see you too.

Yes.

It's a pity that I'm stuck here...

as one of our youngsters was murdered.

I will not let that go unpunished.

If you move now...

Kakomura has the upper hand.

Please, give me some more time?

I can bring Kakomura to their knees.

You weasel, you bypassed me...

to negotiate with the Boss?

You're not listening to reason lately.

Bullshit.

A yakuza has only his reputation.

We can't stay stoic...

when they rub it in our face.

Why would your sidekick arrest Bizen?

That's how it is Moritaka...

I made a deal with the boss.

And you'll have to abide by it.

Three days.

What?

You have 3 days to get Kakomura.

If there is no progress after that...

we're launching an attack.

How can we find a proof on them in 3 days?

There are always plenty of proofs.

And if there weren't, we forge them.

Of course it's just between you and me.

Mr. Wolf?

I'll walk home.

'Hiroshima Police High Command'

'Dir. Internal Affairs'

"...as rotten as I expected."

'Chief Director Daisuke Saga'

Collusion with the yakuza...

arson, theft, the whole check-list.

I recorded the deal between Wolf and Odani.

There is something else...

Wolf is accounting his ties with the yakuza in a diary.

A diary?

Maybe he'll use it as notes...

to write a book when he retires.

Find a way to get that diary.

Dir. Saga, I need the authority of this office to do that.

There's enough now to convict him.

He should be arrested immediately.

He's suspected of murder.

We need more proof.

Pardon?

Actually, our investigation...

mainly aims at gathering intel.

You know there was a war...

in Kurehara 14 years ago.

Irako's Clan made an incursion into Odani's turf.

Such an uproar, they were out of control.

'Murder of the Irako Boss.'

Kanemura, the Irako Boss was murdered...

and it all ended there.

You mean, the inspector killed that man?

That's exagerated.

Seeing your report today...

I think he's capable of anything.

Welcome.

Gimme an iced coffee.

Oh, how long have you been here?

Knowing your concern...

I already asked our guys.

We're sorry Takashi was killed...

we are not responsible.

Come on, I'm not kidding.

Odani is done now.

We'll take over Kurehara soon...

what if I could...

take charge of your club.

I bet you came here for that...

you're yearning for my touch.

Just say it clearly.

Tell me you want me so much...

you can't wait anymore.

Come on, quick...

I kept thinking about you.

Wait, you'll be well served I promise.

Quick, quick.

Don't be scared of my dick.

What the fuck?

What do you want?

Go to hell, degenerate.

Let me do it, let me kill him.

Easy.

Please, calm down.

The police can't act like this.

An officer...

can act as he wishes.

I don't know anything about Uesawa.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't speak.

Sumo said just the same thing.

Sorry, I don't have time to play.

I can have you tell me anything.

Hey, what are you going to do?

The human body...

doesn't cope well with foreign objects.

That pearl could cause an infection.

First I'll remove that pearl.

You can't, you can't.

Mr. Wolf you can't do that...

we have to bring him in for questioning.

If you dare get in the way, I'll kill you.

You are crazy.

I'm crazy, so what?

I made a pact with the devil...

he offers me success in my investigations.

No, stop, stop.

Hold his legs.

You can't.

You can't.

Don't move.

You can't, no.

Come and hold him down.

Stop.

Don't move.

At last.

Wait, wait no, stop.

I know what you did...

if I speak, you're finished.

Interesting...

What did you hear?

You are responsible...

for the murder of Kanemura, 14 years ago.

That's all?

What?

Look at you poor thing...

all shrunk up.

It's hardly visible.

Don't move.

There, we extracted it.

Tell me, Yoshida.

Whether you talk or not...

I'll pay a visit to Kakomura...

and tell them that you told me everything.

Still not talking?

Let's have another go.

His head, it's his head.

His Head?

That day...

the boss asked for Uesawa's head...

Nozaki had his men cut it off.

Yoshida.

Originally, what's the story with Uesawa?

To crush Odani we needed money...

So we had Uesawa take money from the safe.

Don't bullshit us.

What's this?

You think that amount will suffice?

It's pocket money for a kid.

Business was slow this month.

Are you bullshitting me?

We thought we'd scare him...

to get some more.

We all had a little go at him for fun.

In the end, he actually... started to steal from the Head Office.

Head Office?

The 'White Credit Union' in Hiroshima.

The White Credit Union belongs to the Jinseikai...

Yes, this group is affiliated to Irako's Clan.

Come on, move.

Hurry, move, come on.

Hey, come on.

Did Kakomura rent this farm...

this year in April?

Hey, what's that?

My friends just borrowed the pigpen...

nothing wrong with that.

Kid, wait a minute.

What is it?

I'll have a look.

Hey, 'morning pigs.

They're really fat.

So cute.

Is that how you lead an investigation?

What?

The way you tortured Yoshida back there.

Still, exactly as I said...

Uesawa was killed.

Is that your version of justice?

Justice?

Maybe, you could offer a good definition?

Of course...

it is to dispose of the yakuza by 'lawful means'.

'Lawful means' will wipe out the yakuza?

Is that it?

It's a fantasy, not a working definition of justice.

What a clown.

If we only apply the law...

nothing will ever change.

They will just go deeper underground.

They will just wear a suit...

turn into demons with angel faces.

Is this your justice?

Whether they live or die...

it's our duty keep them in their pigpen.

And if they try to bite...

we'll prod them and tame them.

Is that why you killed Kanemura?

What?

That was 14 years ago...

that's what Yoshida said.

You were already in cahoot with Odani...

and you're still protecting them.

Hey, Hioka...

they're just like these pigs.

We just keep them to feed on them.

That's the food chain...

humans live by killing other creatures.

You'll have to chose your side...

eat or be eaten?

You saw the eyes of that kid.

What about his eyes?

They didn't teach you much in cop school.

That kid...

is a user.

Don't touch me, don't touch me.

Sit down.

Arrest someone without a proof...

what kind of cop are you?

Sorry, you thought we were the guardians of the law.

Sir, we found it...

there was coke in his room.

Years with the yakuza, I have learned.

How come I can't hear you now?

I don't know anything.

Now you're talkative...

Fucking moron.

Sir, you can't do that.

I don't have time for that.

Stand up.

I'm telling the truth.

I swear I don't know anything.

I've had enough.

I have to report to the Main Office.

The Main Office?

Just calm down.

Hioka.

Don't touch me.

Hioka.

You think the police doesn't know?

I'll feed you to the pigs.

I never saw that coke.

Can't you at least...

tell a credible lie?

Please sir, stop... Help.

Hey.

Don't do it.

Don't do it I said.

Open your mouth, open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Alright.

You'll never lie to a cop again.

Enough, just let him give his call.

Wolf.

It's an island.

An island?

Uesawa's body is buried on an desert island.

'Riko's Club'

That's an unusually early hour.

Give me beer.

I'm boarding a boat early tomorrow...

I'm going to bed early.

This Zippo has brought me luck.

Oh, it's you Tomoki?

Look how you've grown.

What? Already in a rebellious phase?

Don't bother him.

He has tests next week.

Then you can ask our friend here...

a university doctor.

I can't study with you around.

I'm sorry Tomoki...

you don't have to leave.

He's got a temper.

This kid is so cute.

Evening.

I thought I heard your voice.

You were upstairs cheating on your wife?

There was a journalist from Aki looking for you.

A journalist?

He's inquiring on the Kanemura case, 14 years ago.

If this gets published...

the police will have to respond.

Hey Ginji...

you haven't come to Kurehara in a while...

let me treat you to a yakitori.

Thank you.

Thank you.

"I'm quite sure."

Wolf is involved in Kanemura's murder.

The Odani group wanted Kanemura dead...

they had Wolf execute him.

Sir...

bring Wolf to justice immediately.

"We need tangible proof..."

"how about that notebook?"

I haven't found it.

"Find it, that's our key to a solid conviction."

But…

How much evidence is enough?

Hioka, pass the tea.

What got into you?

Ah thanks.

Is that the island?

Our agreement with Wolf ends today, right?

Yes.

We won't even wait a minute...

to launch our attack.

I wanted you to know ahead.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Yes sir?

Sorry to come so early.

I'm supposed to meet the Chief Mori.

What is your name please?

I'm Kosaka, Aki Newspaper.

It's here.

Start digging.

Yes, sir.

"Flash news about gangs?"

Yes.

There is much agitation in the yakuza world lately.

So I investigated past cases...

and I came across an old case...

involving this division of the criminal police.

You mean Wolf?

Right.

You better remain seated...

if you want to hear what I found.

What are you doing?

Alright, let's dig.

It's a head.

Found it.

We found the body.

Alright.

It's here.

People will never cease to surprise me.

Look at that...

they buried the head and the body separately.

You'd ask the killers and they'd say:

"We had to make sure he doesn't come back to life."

We have a vampire here.

Uesawa...

now with your head...

Kakomura's head... will fall.

"As the delay granted by Odani was nearing..."

"Wolf had at last found Jiro Uesawa's body."

"That day they set up to catch Nawashiro..."

"and his 3 accomplices..."

"launching a national APB for their arrest."

Who found Uesawa's head?

Now you guys find me the Nawashiro bunch.

We are getting rid of Kakomura, you hear?

"But Wolf's plan evaporated in a blink."

Hands off.

Come in.

"Chief Inspector Mori after hearing the journalist..."

"removed Wolf from the Uesawa murder case..."

"and ordered him to hand over his badge."

Mr. Ichinose, we just need a few days.

We found Uesawa's body, we have our evidence...

Then why was Wolf suspended?

Now the East Division will let us down.

It's not like that...

are we going to talk with a kid?

If Wolf can't report it's a breach of agreement.

Please wait.

Fuck off.

Now get lost.

Eric Paroissien - Translation eric.paroissien@gmail.com

"I confess to my collusion with Odani Group..."

"and to the murder of Kanemura..."

Chief, can I use the toilet?

Let me out, it will just take an hour.

Just give me an hour.

Just give me an hour.

Kyouji, we'll get them.

Let me get in the mood.

Kakomura sons of bitches.

What's that?

Get out of my way.

I'll kill you.

Go to hell.

You think you can screw with us?

Call a doctor.

It hurts.

We'll erase Odani from the map.

Don't miss the slightest evidence...

that can be used against them.

This is a search warrant.

"Starting with Ichinose Moritaka..."

"Odani gang had long packed up..."

"and disappeared."

Hello, this the East Division.

May I talk to Mr. Hioka?

It's me, Hioka.

I'm Odani's Nagakawa.

Eh?

Mr. Ichinose told me to surrender to you...

I'm right outside.

Hey, here you are little devil.

How did you get in here?

Who cares?

Let me tidy up.

That Chief Inspector Mori...

has the balls of a squirrel.

He freaked out as soon as he heard the journalist.

The weirdest part is...

that journalist even knew...

about Yoshida's pearl extraction.

Pardon?

That day, there was only me, you, Riko...

and Yoshida who ran away.

That information shouldn't have leaked out.

That's right.

And now...

Odani will launch their attack.

Moritaka already sent his men on Irako's Clan.

The fucking idiot.

'Kurehara Central Hospital'

So?

What do you want?

Odani has already unleashed his pack.

Could you be patient?

'Patient', you say?

What bullshit is that?

You can't get upset, Yoshihara...

you'll burst a stitch.

Tell me Mr. Wolf.

My guys are locked indoors on their toes...

wondering where Odani is going to strike next.

They're just common hooligans.

How come the police can't find them?

So many Hooligans around here fit that description.

A young man of Odani's named Takashi...

was killed by Kakomura just yesterday.

Would you know about that?

That has nothing to do with us.

Aren't you behind all that?

Say that again? Do you have evidence?

Mr. Irako's...

These past 14 years...

You've been looking for a chance to get back at Odani, right?

You secretly manipulated Kakomura.

You wanted that war started...

before Boss Odani gets out of jail.

This time...

haven't you been at the helm of this from the start?

At the helm...?

I rarely get on boats.

I get sea sick.

How long do you think you can play it cool?

The way I see it...

your boat is about to hit the rocks.

Enough... spare us your bullshit.

Your silly innuendos are disrespectful.

This is a hospital...

keep it down.

Your assessment is interesting.

Could you explain in details?

Why you'll hit those rocks?

Because of that head.

What head?

Right.

That guy at the origin...

of Kurehara Credit stolen money...

you requested his head, right?

I believe it sounded funny at the time.

But killing an innocent man has it's consequences.

Mr. Irako...

it's still time to stop it.

I don't think you want to go to prison at your age, right?

Then it's on 3 conditions:

¥10 million in compensation, and Boss Odani must resign...

and that handsome guy...

what's his name? Ichinose Moritaka...

I want Odani to to banish him.

If he leaves, how can Odani recover from such a loss.

You think I care?

These are my nonnegotiable conditions.

The alternative is a war of attrition...

until one of us falls down to his knees.

And then he wants our boss to retire?

His conditions are insane.

You must come to some kind of deal.

You'd rather have a full-fledged war?

Are you slow?

We are at war already.

Moritaka...

first you'll loose all your young men.

You have to protect their lives...

this is your duty.

Nope... His conditions are unacceptable.

Moritaka, wait.

Moritaka, wait, Moritaka.

Hey, listen to me, listen.

Moritaka.

Disaster.

Sir? Sir, where are you going?

Sir.

You've been drinking for 6 hours...

it's enough now.

A last one.

Give me a beer.

Where were you all that time?

Tottori Jail...

I tried to talk the Boss into retiring.

What did the he say?

He said that Moritaka will decide in last resort.

He cares only about his own pride.

Riko, we don't need the girls.

We need to bring Irako to soften his demands.

Irako isn't the type who'd yield.

Are you stupid?

Do you know why the High Command...

are like hawks on my case?

Because here I have an archive...

packed with evidence and names.

Irako a few years back...

had close ties with commanding officers.

He even bribed one of them with a house.

If I exposed that deal...

Irako would freak out.

Then, he'd really be "literally clitori-lly stunned".

How long would that facade of peace keep?

What?

They will still hate each other...

and eventually resume war.

You even dragged your colleagues in your schemes.

What's that?

You need to hear this, Mr. Wolf...

Honestly.

You are a great, an excellent detective.

You should stop all that.

Don't you mind being always the target?

You have to stop your schemes.

Come clear with the High Command.

Confess to that murder 14 years ago.

At least that way...

you won't get stupidly killed.

That's your best option?

You speak like a little soldier of the High Command.

Yet your brilliant education is obvious.

Sure, I may be walking a tight-rope.

Dealing with the yakuza...

is like walking on the abyss.

Once you're up here on the rope...

the world down there is a blur.

Either closer to the yakuza...

or to the police...

only the fall is certain.

Sure, I don't wanna fall...

I must keep walking.

Listen Hioka...

I am on that rope...

I don't want to die...

or fall, I just need to proceed.

Or let me guess...

you'll have me arrested today...

and sent to the High Command.

I'm joking.

Hioka...

I can't drink alone...

let's go some place.

I'm going home now.

No wonder you can't find a girl...

you're such a bore.

And so...

at least let Riko take care of you.

I do have a girlfriend.

Look at that brat.

It's you?

Had you called ahead I'd have bought beer.

Are you coming in?

Hey, what's wrong?

What's going on?

You're shaking.

Did something scare you?

"That same evening..."

"Wolf disappeared."

Such boobs? Let me guess...

it's Seiko-chan. (Matsuyama Hot Spring Inn)

Bring me the next pair of boobs...

come on, come to daddy.

Don't tell me, I know.

Nawashiro, no need to resist.

The Kakomura are done.

"Three days later, Hiroyuki Nawashiro and his friends..."

"were arrested in Ehime Prefecture."

"Nawashiro confessed to Uesawa's murder..."

"and the disposal of his body."

"His confessions also exposed Kakomura chiefs."

"East Division raided and searched their headquarters."

Hey, move aside, you're obstructing.

Kakomura we have a warrant, don't resist.

Nozaki Kosuke you are suspected of murder.

What bullshit is that, moron.

Hand off.

Stop obstructing, move.

"In a press conference Chief Inspector Mori..."

"announced that the Uesawa case was solved."

"But Wolf still was nowhere to be found."

Have you asked Irako's Clan?

You think they abducted Wolf?

We can't search them without evidence.

It's been four days.

He's suspended, maybe he's just on vacation.

Where is his diary?

While he's away, go search his place.

Why did you inform that journalist?

What's that?

That journalist came up with facts...

that I had reported to you privately.

What's this?

You want the internal affairs to investigate me?

You yourself requested Wolf's arrest.

No way, he has got into your brain.

Hey.

Hioka.

'Jinseikai Group'

"His Majesty the Emperor is in intensive care..."

It's been four days?

That can't be good.

Could you ask to Irako?

How can I do that?

Irako and I are brothers.

He can't suspect I'm friend with Wolf.

Look at you...

we're talking about your best friend.

What?

What does that have to do with anything?

After all he did for you...

how can you be so indifferent.

You don't have the balls to rise in the Jinsekai.

Idiot.

How many times did I put my life on the line for them.

From the start i did my best for that promotion.

"The perfect Dharma..."

"unsurpassed and exquisite..." - Diamond Sutra -

I wonder...

what hole has he crawled in?

He's gone too deep in yakuza territory.

So entangled with Odani...

that he can't find a way out.

What's that? You got the wrong idea.

For Wolf, the yakuza are just naughty kids.

Look how he treats me.

He takes care of us...

keeps us safe.

But he's like a brother with Odani?

That's a jacket he wears...

to tame the dimwit yakuza.

But who he really cares about...

are the innocent people.

Pardon?

To protect the innocent...

he'd brave any danger.

That's why the yakuza are afraid of Wolf.

There...

I have to give you this...

in case something happened to him.

That's what he requested.

This is…

That's everything he has...

in his archive.

"Commandant Taniguchi received..."

"a house and cash envelopes."

"In 1970, Inspector Iwamoto brutally assaulted..."

"a hostess of the 'Sakura Club'."

"Officer Tsubata had several affairs..."

"illegitimate children with prostitutes."

But... they're all police officers.

Yes.

What Wolf fears the most...

is not the yakuza...

but the police.

Let's go for a walk.

But why is Wolf keeping accounts on the police?

Well, if they wanted to harm him...

this gives him leverage.

Wolf was worried that...

when he'd be gone...

no one would keep the yakuza in line.

That they would threaten the peace...

of ordinary people.

I helped him often...

to gather that intelligence on the police.

What kind of help?

I was using seduction...

women are Wolf's sharpest weapon.

Many of these police gentlemen were my lovers.

It seems the police know about this...

and they're desperate to get their hands on that notebook.

People say a spy was sent undercover.

You mean a spy whose mission would be...

to retrieve and destroy that notebook?

Well, obviously.

What is it?

It's nothing.

I'm just feeling silly.

At the end of the day...

they all just want to cover their asses.

Just for that notebook...

they'd crush anyone in their way.

Isn't Wolf doing it too?

His evidence gathering for protection...

is a yakuza thug strategy.

Why is he so desperate?

I'm sure you know Riko.

He's probably coping with guilt.

Now he's trying to make amends...

for that guy he killed...

14 years ago.

You're mistaken.

About what?

The murderer of Kanemura...

14 years ago...

it's me.

Pardon?

Saimoto.

I'm sorry.

My husband was with Odani...

Kanemura killed him.

That Kanemura bastard...

came to me as if nothing had happened...

he even forced himself on me.

I felt then that...

if I killed him I didn't care if i went to jail.

Then I called the police, Wolf answered...

Riko.

Riko.

Don't touch me.

It's me, calm down, it's me Wolf.

You're safe.

Please calm down.

But Wolf then said that...

that scum was a waste of space.

He'd never let me give birth in a cell because of him.

Because at that time...

I was pregnant with Tomoki.

Wolf helped me clean up all evidence.

"Hioka, university graduate, karate skill."

"Sent by Dir. Saga, Internal Affairs."

"Probably reporting on my 'improprieties'."

Hello.

Pardon?

Move, move let me through.

Move, let me through.

We're gathering evidence.

Hioka.

Hioka, I told not to go.

Hioka.

Hioka.

The body of Inspector Wolf...

was found this morning on the docks.

It appears he had swallowed...

a great amount of alcohol and sleeping pills.

The combination of both killed him...

it could be an accident.

Wasn't inspector Wolf threatened...

with a murder investigation?

"Do you have a suspicion of suicide? "

What bullshit.

Did he commit suicide before...

or after he was stabbed 10 times?

By the way...

Irako is getting organized.

Did you hear?

He's launching raids in Kurehara.

Really?

What are we gonna do without Wolf?

Irako is escalating the war.

The forensic found...

a number of odd substances...

in the stomach of Wolf.

Odd substances?

He found pig shit.

Hey.

He was killed here?

What are you saying?

Don't you see I'm working.

Fuck off.

Are you deaf?

I am a member of Irako's Clan now.

Read my lips, I'm untouchable now.

So tone it down buddy, be careful.

Are you deaf?

The more you dig, the more pig shit you'll find.

"Dealing with the yakuza..."

"is like walking on the abyss."

"Once you're up here on the rope..."

"you don't wanna fall."

"I must keep walking."

"Listen Hiota..."

"I am on that rope..."

"I don't wanna die or fall..."

"I just need to proceed."

Oh...

I remember now...

that old pig got on my nerves...

I fed him to the other pigs.

But even they didn't want him.

Son of a bitch.

Stop, you're a cop you can't do that...

you're a cop, stop.

I had to stop you...

I don't want my son to die.

"Our world is not a place for you..."

"You better obey me."

"Your method's are too soft."

"Are you blind?"

"You're not cut to be an inspector."

"I overestimated your capacity."

"Did you you really graduate?"

"Most graduate scholars are not up to the task."

"Good job there, I'll be sure to praise you."

Are you serious?

I'm not sure it's the best way to serve his memory.

"For Wolf the yakuza are just kids..."

"he keeps an eye on."

You said that yourself Mr. Ginji.

Good evening.

Good evening.

'1988, Prominent Citizens Meeting'

To celebrate the outstanding performance of all the members...

we'll be breaking the saké barrel.

One, two...

Yeah.

Congratulations.

Hey, it's you...

Mr. Irako, it's a pleasure to see you.

Let me introduce my younger brother...

his name is Ginji Takii, he's a true patriot.

I'm Takii.

Since Kakomura has 'retired'...

I wanted to promote Ginji.

He's gonna help me oversee Kurehara.

That's great.

My pleasure.

You mentioned patriots...

please, count me in their ranks.

These gentlemen are High Commanding officers.

Since everyone is raising the sunrising flag...

please, count on me from now on.

"This is beautiful."

I'm glad to see you, sir.

This way.

The bathroom is there in the lobby.

Alright.

Move.

We're under attack.

This way, please.

Is that you Mr. Ichinose...

I'm so glad to see you Irako.

I'm glad.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I am so literally clit...

Scum you are and like a scum you die.

It's done... there.

Once you've done the time...

you'll have your own group.

Yes.

- Good job, sir. - Yup.

It's you Ichinose?

Right.

My name is Fujioka.

I just killed Boss Irako.

Fine, Hioka, cuff him.

Yes.

Thank you, sir.

Ichinose Moritaka, I'm arresting you for murder.

You bitch...

you framed me.

Hioka, cuff him, cuff him.

Hioka, cuff him.

7:56 pm the murderer is under arrest.

Is that Wolf's diary?

Yes, but you'll notice he was totally delusional.

You'll see that I wrote the last page myself.

"Officer Daisuke Saga."

"Sept. 1988, ran from a murder scene."

Alright, alright.

I get it...

I'll call you back at my office...

as my secretary.

Could you let me work in Kurehara...

for a while longer?

Pardon?

There are still rotten officers in that Division.

There are.

I get it.

'Mr. Shohei Irako's funeral service'

Hey, wait.

Hey, you caught me.

You hadn't paid respect to Wolf yet?

Wolf?

Well…

That's a task I was reluctant to 'perform'...

but he really insisted.

The 'weapon of seduction'...

Sorry...

I owed Wolf a big favor.

As I told you...

I was married to a violent man...

he was a scumbag.

And Wolf took care of him.

Look at you...

you thought I had succumbed to your charm.

Anyway, weren't you also...

on a spying mission?

Pardon?

You and me are the same.

What happened? Are you a smoker now?
