A TOEI PRESENTATION

Photochemical smog warning, currently in effect

The summer of 1972

Japan's finished...

Hey! Where are you going?

Can't you see the red flag?

You shouldn't be outside!

Kadoya! How many times do I have to tell you?

If you keep hanging around scoundrels like him, you won't turn out well, too.

Shut up!

Be quiet!

Y'know, I've got pubic hair now.

- What about you, Kaneo? - Don't ask me that shit.

- Let me take a look at it. - What are you doing? Stop it!

You're just a kid, so you haven't grown any yet.

I'll hit you, you asshole!

Go ahead and try.

As if I meant that seriously.

- Eat it. - I don't wanna.

- Eat it! - I don't wanna! You eat it!

- Hey, old man! - I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry!

You lied to me, you stupid piece of shit!

Those guys are yakuza from the station.

They said they were going to run away. Dad was a little too late.

- Come on! - Please, just wait!

I'll pay back the debt! Just please wait!

- When I get a job... - Shut up!

I will pay you back. Please be patient. Be patient, please!

Old lady, keep out of it!

Once I find a job, I'll definitely pay you back.

Are you okay?

Are you all right, Auntie?

You'll lose a finger for every day your payment is late!

- You shouldn't be here. - Stop it!

- Don't go there! - Stop!

Chanryong! Chanryong!

We're going to be late. Follow me.

It's Harimoto's signed ball. I'll give it to you.

Take it.

See you.

Why?!

Ron! All right!

Riichi, Dora 1, 2, 3... Dora 3!

Come on, pay up.

You're in trouble. Even Mahjong won't help you...

That's true, there's no helping it.

Whatcha want, kiddo?

You...

Oh, it's gasoline! Oh, no! Oh, no!

Hey! Go out the back. Go out the back!

Take off your jacket! It's on fire!

- Somebody, help! - It burns!

Someone help!

Damn you!

Hey, wait! Hold on, hold on!

Now, you went and done it, asshole!

Hey!

Stop!

I'm gonna kill you, kid!

Shouryuu...

Something's wrong with my ear. Something's wrong!

- It's nothing. - I know, but I'm hearing a noise.

You don't even have a scratch.

Are you crazy? You're dealing with the yakuza!

If you're going to half-ass it, don't do it at all!

Let's run away. Shouryuu, let's get out of here!

Kaneo!

Where are you?

Kaneo!

Kaneo! Your dinner's ready!

- They're calling for you. - Kaneo!

Wait! Wait for me!

Bang!

Shouryuu! Where are you going?

Shouryuu! Where are you...?

Shouryuu! Shouryuu! Shouryuu! Shouryuu!

Let's walk.

Directed by: Junji Sakamoto

Kazuhisa Matsui reigned the post-war Japan's underworld for the last 40 years.

His recent death has sparked concerns

about internal turmoil over succession within the Sahashi group.

The leading candidate for successor, Regional boss Mizoguchi,

is said to be in poor health,

which raises questions about whether the organization will opt for younger leadership.

Additionally, the Osaka Prefectural Police, which oversees the group's HQ,

announced earlier today that they will take decisive measures

if conflicts arise over the succession,

using all means necessary to prevent any violent disputes.

The late Kazuhisa Matsui was born in Tokushima Prefecture.

During the post-war chaos, he made a name for himself

as the top hardline leader when the Sahashi group was formed.

After taking over as the third-generation leader,

he exercised his quick wit and talent for leadership

to swiftly expand the organization's influence

by consolidating the powerful yakuza groups nationwide.

Thus, the nation's largest yakuza group has been formed...

Okay! Okay!

All right!

Miyane.

...the ball has been intercepted! It's a feint! The ball is thrown to the first base! Out!

Very well!

Throw it here!

Hello!

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Morning.

The Sahashi group isn't going anywhere.

There's got to be some better story to chase.

Go back to Nagatachou! Nagatachou!

Regional assistant Awano heads the largest faction in the Sahashi group,

with nearly 1.000 members.

He is known as a hardline leader of the Awano group.

That's the man I was telling you about.

In Showa 51, the Awano group...

Mr. Kadoya?

Right.

This is the first time I've seen his face.

Cone on, he's just a yakuza. What do you care?

The contract for the tenant building in the Naniwa Ward is complete.

I'll transfer the deposit of 330 million yen by the end of the month.

All floors except the first are leased.

Let's rent the first floor out to a convenience store.

- I'll leave the arrangements to you. - Yes, I understand.

Mr. Hong, the Tigers lost.

- Oh, really? - 10 to 9.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

- Give me some water. - Okay.

When we first called him here, he was terrified.

He looked so gloomy.

But he's your brother. He won't give up easily.

- Thank you for your hard work. - I appreciate your effort.

Good morning.

You're early.

I need to talk to you.

Is dealing with the media on today's agenda?

Yes, those annoying reporters will be swarming around again.

They'll also be asking about the succession ceremony for the group head.

Thank you for your hard work.

Everyone's here now.

Hey!

If you'll excuse me.

So, what do you think?

I've spent my whole life as a flunky for the third generation boss. Now, that is over.

I've made up my mind.

Now that the third generation boss is gone,

I have no intention of taking over as the head of Sahashi.

- Hey, wait a minute... - Just hold on a second.

What are you saying at a time like this?

Let Regional Boss Miyamatsu act as the interim leader,

and let's decide on the fourth generation head of the Sahashi group as soon as possible.

Sir, you're the only one who can be the fourth head of Sahashi.

Everyone's counting on you.

To determine the next head of the group,

we need to get the agreement of all 80 direct members.

And I'd like to build a new house for the late boss's wife.

While I'm still in good health,

I plan to serve the rest of my prison sentence.

I want to go to the third boss with a clean record.

At least, give us the name of your potential successor.

We'll follow your wishes, no matter what.

I hate lightning.

See? The storm's close.

A power outage...

Come on, turn the power back on! I won't pay the electricity bill if you don't!

There you are.

You need to brace for the worst.

The worst? What are you getting at?

What?

Brother.

Brother!

Please take care of Sahashi.

We're in mourning...

There's no need to talk about that here and now.

Come and have dinner with us soon.

Dinner?

Here's the proceeds from the dinner show you organized.

It cost 12 million yen for the venue and food.

Then, there's the cost for printing the posters.

Expenses for hosting the singer and the hotel bill.

Lighting, speakers, and instruments, too.

All that together, it's about right.

The singer's fee was 4.5 million.

Oh, and the drinks in the dressing room...

One, two, three...

About 40.000 yen.

This is what's left. Take it.

Do you have a 600 yen revenue stamp for the receipt?

No, not for small amounts...

I see. Exchange it at the store.

Yes, sir!

Are you drinking?

When you ate crab with the third generation boss,

you always picked out the meat for him.

Shinozaki, you've been bringing less money to the parents lately.

That's because you've been dabbling in stocks.

Kadoya, I've got something stuck in my teeth.

Excuse me...

People are getting ahead of themselves, sending congratulatory telegrams.

It's crazy to think you'd become the fourth generation boss. It came out of nowhere.

I'm not interested in that.

- Huh? - Give me the meat.

You guys...

If you really want me to carry the Sahashi crest,

then fly from Hokkaido to Okinawa,

get the oaths and blood seals of the 80 direct members, and raise 2 billion yen.

Two billion...

Some of the senior members might turn against us,

and there will be those who stir the pot.

It'll cost us a lot of money...

If you can't do it, then it's fine.

A leader has to be strong enough to carry the torch,

and I'm not that kind of guy.

How long are you going to keep eating?

Thank you very much.

Kadoya.

- Yes, sir? - Which ear is your bad ear?

This one...

Crabs taste better when you shell them yourself.

I think so, too.

You're eating slow.

Sorry, I have a sensitive tongue.

Eat quickly before the boss comes back.

Oh, he's back!

- Hello, boss. - Hello, boss.

Hello, boss.

Hello, boss!

How did it go?

We need money.

Understood, sir.

- Sugi! - Sir?

- Get some hot tea. - Yes, sir.

Brother, the boss surprised me.

- He's quite peculiar. - So what if he's peculiar?

He opened up to me.

No matter what kind of boss he is, he's still the boss.

What the hell is that?

- These are bones. - The bones of the third generation boss.

I picked them up at the crematorium.

I'm going to put them inside my belly now.

Give me some work.

Will you?

Yes.

This was a tire disposal business. But it got shut down due to dioxin.

Then, there was talk of building a recycling center here as a public-private partnership.

A finance guy I know bought it for 500 million yen.

But flies are swarming all over because of squatters.

Hey...

Someone's hiding over there.

Hey! Come out, you!

Hey! Move it!

You son of a bitch!

Hey!

We had a deal to clean up for 200 million yen.

How about 370 million? If you can't handle it, that's what it'll cost.

You're still as straightforward as ever.

Hey, don't let him get away!

Chanryong, listen up.

He said he wanted to study in Korea, so we sent him.

But he ended up having a kid there.

Oh, isn't that cute?

Now, they want us to come over, too. But we can barely speak any Korean.

I told you I don't mind, but...

What do you think?

Just go, and if it doesn't work out, you can come back.

- Should we go, then? - If Chanryong agrees, then we'll go.

Dad.

- Who's that? - A thief.

If you overcook it, it'll get too tough to chew.

All right.

- You're not drinking much. - I got it, I got it.

I'm just dropping by to say hello.

I've been put in charge of Organized Crime division.

It's a lot tougher than when I was at the local precinct.

I'll make sure to brief my successor about you and your crew.

Do you know Nakahira from Sahashi?

We've known each other since he was just a small-time troublemaker.

He's one of the candidates to take over Sahashi.

I'm not interested in dealing with yakuza.

Well, at least meet him once.

He's a pretty sharp guy.

I have no intention of getting involved with yakuza.

Don't lump me in with them.

I want to make my mark in this new field.

Retirement isn't far off, after all.

I'm counting on you.

- Hey, it's been a while. How are you? - Long time no see.

- Hello, sir. - Who's here?

Mr. Yamaguchi is over there.

Hello!

- What is this shit?! - It's scrap metal.

I was gonna dump it in the Minoo mountains, but the cops chased me away.

But, hey, it fetched a good price.

- I'll dump it in the canal at night. - Are you stupid?!

- Find a contractor to take it! - It'll cost you more in the end.

Hurry up and get it out of here, it's blocking the office!

Go! You, too, Sugi.

- Tetsu! - Yes, sir!

What have you been doing for the past two days?

I was asked by a day-to-day finance company to collect a loan, but the debtor disappeared.

I stuck around for two days, but got nothing.

It was so frustrating...

Bringing money back to your boss is what being a yakuza is about.

Brother, he's here!

- Hello. - Glad to be working with you.

- Hot, isn't it? - Yes, it is.

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.

We're not just talking about our own interests.

If Nakahira takes the lead, even the Sahashi group will change.

If Awano becomes the boss, it'll just be the same old story.

He's all about backroom deals. What kind of businessman does that?

Brother Nakahira hates conflict.

If things don't go smoothly, he loses interest.

Just like always... Right, Nakahira?

Stop talking and start eating.

This place is so cramped, we're going to suffocate. Let's move, let's move.

Everyone's feeling the pressure.

After the bubble burst, even banks went under.

If the economy gets any worse, we'll be the first ones to be left high and dry.

Exactly. A man like you letting Awano wear the boss's badge...

Are you fine with his prison time tarnishing it?

If it's in front of us, you can speak your mind, right?

- Hey! - Yes, sir.

This young guy used to be an accountant.

We brought him in because the finances were getting complicated.

- I look forward to work with you. - Likewise.

You came all the way out here...

I'll have that.

Come by for a meal again.

- Refill! - Yes, sir.

Did Nakahira volunteer himself?

No, people naturally rallied around him.

Every single one of the ten people unanimously named Nakahira.

You know what, boss?

About the membership fees collected from the members...

Matsuda says the passbook and seal

were deposited in a financial institution run by the boss's wife.

Could you please speak to her, so we can withdraw it?

If you were going to use it, you should have never deposited it there.

That's money for emergencies.

We can't have her doing as she pleases with it.

Matsuda, are you accusing Tomiko of embezzlement?

Well?!

You know what, boss?

Saiki and the others are trying to push Nakahira forward.

You need to secure support from the majority of the direct leaders now.

Or you'll be overturned.

What's that supposed to mean?

Are you saying I can only become the fourth head of the Sahashi through money?

Since when did you become so dim-witted?!

Were you born that way?

When I appealed directly to Tomiko, it was as if I had embezzled the funds.

The old man isn't much better.

I wonder if he really intends to take on the Sahashi's emblem...

If any issues arise, the source of trouble will be the old man himself.

Perhaps the old man thinks he can't win against Nakahira.

Kadoya, are you listening to me?

What's this all of a sudden?

- Mister, how many do you need? - Oh, ten.

This one, too!

Do you know him?

I want that!

- Not today. - But I want that!

Who was that?

Nobody of concern.

Only I understand the old man! Don't be critical.

So, you've been paying attention, after all!

- Hello. - Hey, Mitsuma.

- Yes? - How is the industrial waste situation?

Taichi and his group are the same as ever, sir.

And you're fine with that?

What are you doing, lingering in the office?

Trying to pass the issue to me, are you?!

No, that's not my intention.

Get the money together quickly. The old man is waiting.

Seems like something happened.

If you'll excuse me!

- What do you want?! - What's going on?!

Takaishi!

Who is he?! Who the fuck is he?!

He looked familiar...

Takaishi!

I can't reach him. No matter how many times I call.

Yeah...

You know the boss sometimes has ringing in his ears! Cut him some slack!

Idiot!

If something goes wrong, how am I supposed to take responsibility?

Listen up. Find him,

and tell him to call me immediately.

And if he acts on his own, he'll have one hell to pay.

Stop whining and find him quickly!

A man's on the brink of death.

You could at least care a bit!

This is our problem.

I won't bother the main family!

Takaishi's parents have apparently arrived at the hospital.

Call me if there's any change.

- Thank you. - That guy is an idiot.

- It's better not to trust him too much. - Is it really okay to say that?

Mr. Lee.

Who is involved in that industrial waste property?

What's this all of a sudden? I can't get anything done by asking you,

so I had to find someone else.

I didn't know it would turn into a fight.

One of their guys is on the verge of dying.

Tell me who you talked to!

Excuse me, could you not argue in here?

- It's a minor argument. It won't take long. - Hey!

- Out with it, else you'll get hurt. - Hey, manager!

Call the owner, call Tochino!

Call Hong Chanryong!

Hey, start talking!

Come on, spit it out!

Why don't you start talking? I said spill your guts, damn it!

- I'll tell you... I'll tell you. - Who is it?

Please wait.

I've heard about you from the owner.

Heard about me? What exactly did you hear?

Was it about when I was a kid?

He probably said I'm just some half-assed guy. He hates me.

He'll show up here tonight. Please, meet with him.

If I meet him, will he give me some money?

I'm not in the mood for that right now.

Kadoya!

Do you know the Kokido group from Kyoto?

The second-in-command of Kokido is Nakahira's brother-in-arms!

Okay, I got it.

That's enough.

Hey, Kadoya!

Hold on, Kadoya!

It was my mistake to bring this matter up.

Even if it was a plan drawn up by Nakahira!

If you want the boss to take over the Sahashi group, endure it!

I'm just going to see a woman.

Mr. Shimizu, were you working overtime again today?

Yes, it was unpaid overtime.

Hey, hey, you're drinking too much.

Is it okay to be drinking at a time like this?

If I don't drink, the ringing in my ears won't stop.

Hey, hey, come on, get up. Get up.

Thank you. Ma'am, I'll be heading off now.

- All right then, take care. - Thanks for your hard work.

- We look forward to seeing you again. - Thank you very much.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much. Goodbye.

Did Kadoya come?

Yes, sir.

Push back against the yakuza.

I told him to meet with you.

Even if we did, what is there to talk about?

We carry different burdens.

I carry my way of living, he carries his way of dying.

He's not in his right mind.

Pardon my words, but it's a fine line.

We're out of cigarettes.

Is Seven Stars okay?

Tomorrow, there's Takaishi's wake back home in Hiroshima.

The family over there told us not to come.

You guys, don't make any moves until I give the okay.

Ah, shit! It's hot. Damn it!

Hide it, hide it!

Get the electric fan.

All right.

I bought this, but what if it's a fake?

It'll just cost me an arm and a leg.

What's going on with the succession?

This is the only way we can understand what the higher-ups are doing.

Who's gonna get taken out with this?

Stop showering me with questions!

We're caught between a rock and a hard place. Gotta be ready for anything.

Brother! Is it fun carrying something like that?

Shut up!

You stole my money from the dresser, right? Did you spend it on that?

You know you're clumsy. You're just going to screw up, brother.

It's bound to happen.

Are you planning to leave me alone?

You're a yakuza's sister! Better resign yourself!

- Give me that! - What's your problem?

- Give it here! - What the hell?!

- I'm not giving it! - Let go, damn it!

- Don't make this my problem! - Get your damn hands off it!

You're so noisy.

Excuse me!

Good morning, sir.

Are you alone?

Yes, sir!

I'm going to grab a meal.

- Do you need company? - No.

Take care, sir!

Yes, Kadoya Industries.

Hello? This is Kadoya Industries.

Hello? Hello?

Mr. Shouryuu Tochino, right?

Your Korean name is Hong Chanryong.

Nice to meet you. I'm Saiki from the Sahashi Group.

Mr. Nakahira would like to meet with you.

I'm sure you heard from Mr. Kajiwara of the Prefectural Police.

Nakahira is going to be the 4th leader of the Sahashi Group.

This meeting would be advantageous for you, too.

I'm not interested.

The Immigration Bureau has their eyes on your business.

And the police, too.

If something happens, I can help.

If it's about money, go somewhere else.

Welcome!

- Give me a beer. - Yes, sir.

Here you go, sir.

Mr. Toyama, it's me.

Kadoya.

So, you've come back.

A yakuza flying high on tranquilizers and sleeping pills?

Go ahead and laugh.

You know that I'm blood brothers with Nakahira, right?

Yeah, I know.

I've taken on Nakahira's sins and spent 10 years in prison.

And do you know what Nakahira said in return?

He told me to turn over a new leaf, and open a shop with some woman. What the hell is that?

He's aiming to become the 4th leader of Sahashi,

and he treats his blood brother like trash!

That son of a bitch!

I have no money! No money at all!

Your man, Awano, can't beat Nakahira.

Give up on him.

Awano is a rusty yakuza now.

He's just like me.

If you put up a hundred million yen,

I'll kill Nakahira for you.

Even a rusty blade can be useful.

It's been a while for me, too.

Ah, over here.

This is the first time you've taken me to your father's grave.

While I was put in a facility, my parents went back to Korea to make money,

and they died there.

If this probation officer hadn't picked me up,

I'd be in the same trash heap as him by now.

You wouldn't have met me either.

- Where are we going? - Just come on!

I'll get fired! What's this about?

Hurry up and come!

- Why are you forcing me?! - Shut up already!

No, it's the wrong person.

Take a good look.

It's been ten years. Enough for a plenty of changes.

Serves both of them right.

It's the punishment for abandoning us!

What good are the parents who have thrown their lives away?

You go ahead and live your own life.

Why are you trying to look cool?

Am I going to have to see off your corpse like this, too?!

Cut it out already!

- What are you doing? - This is between brother and sister, idiot!

Leave us alone!

Lend me some money one last time.

I'll cut ties with you!

I'm going to cut you off...

- Thanks for your help. - No problem.

Take care.

Nakahira sure is buttering up to the boss.

And the boss keeps talking about Nakahira. What's going on?

The boss's health isn't good,

so Nakahira pulled some strings and got his sentence suspended.

That's all there is to it.

Please, don't read too much into it.

I hear Nakahira has been saving up a lot.

His office is still a dump, totally different from my old man's.

Are you wavering? Then, why don't you go over to Nakahira's side?

What's got you so irritated lately?

Stop snapping at me for everything.

I heard Nakahira even bought land in Takarazuka for the boss's wife.

There's nothing to read into.

It's like he has already been chosen as the 4th leader.

According to my calculations, more than half of the direct group leaders

are siding with you.

We should call an emergency board meeting and push it through quickly!

Right?

Hey!

- What do you think you're doing?! - Tetsu, run!

Hey!

Hey, stop right there!

Hey! Goddamn it!

I heard he's running a street stall.

- Go around the tourist spots. - All right, I'll head this way.

I want to take a picture together.

- Excuse me, could you take a picture... - Shut up!

Nakahira is charging ahead, solidifying his position.

You can't afford to sit back and relax.

You guys...

If I said I'm splitting from the Sahashi group, would you follow me?

What did you say?

What are you really thinking?

I'm going solo from now on.

This applies not only to Nakahira. Whoever becomes the leader, I'm leaving Sahashi.

I'm telling you clearly!

How far are you willing to back me up?

Tell me now!

Please!

- That looks delicious. - I want some, too.

What do you mean back you up?

Are you saying you don't have the guts to step up,

and claim the leadership of Sahashi yourself?!

We aren't your small fry thugs! You hear me?!

Are you saying you'll just go with whoever's winning?!

Don't underestimate us.

Who's underestimating you?

Anyway, I'm not interested in buying the family crest with money.

Make sure you understand that. Okay?

- Thank you. - Let's go.

We don't have time to shop. Let's go quickly.

Delicious.

Come to my place tonight.

It's me.

What is it?

Big brother always held a grudge

about the fact that Boss Mizoguchi didn't appoint him as his successor.

Maybe this successor business is just a setup between Mizoguchi and Nakahira.

It's too late to raise concerns now.

Well, brother, I'm heading to Miyamatsu's place to discuss future plans.

Tell your boss the following.

He'd better never bring up any talk about "splitting off" ever again.

- Boss... - What is it?

One of our young members killed a senior member of the Kokido group in Kyoto.

Seriously?!

Kokido group? Isn't that a brotherhood with Nakahira?

Hey, what's going on here?

I told you time after time not to stir any trouble!

Especially with Nakahira's brotherhood...

How the hell did you allow this to happen?!

I'll handle the repercussions myself since it's our problem.

Are you stupid?

This is not just one person's problem!

Listen up. If we get into a conflict with Kyoto,

the police will put pressure on the Sahashi headquarters.

If that happens, the issue of succession would be the least of our problems.

Awano himself might end up going under.

We'll have to get Nakahira involved. We have no choice but to reconcile with Kyoto.

I'm going to Nakahira's place now.

Wait!

Are you going to bow your head to Nakahira?

It can't be helped!

Everyone keeps messing up.

This put all of our plans at risk!

The yakuza backing down would spell the end to everything.

What's going on, boss? Are you taking instructions from Nakahira?

If you're going to Nakahira's place, take this with you.

I'll give it to you.

Stop! Hey, wait! Kadoya! Matsuda, stop him.

You don't know what that kid might do.

Stop him!

If you want to stop him, do it yourself. Why not just kill him?

I don't even know what he's thinking.

Get me some painkillers.

This office will be closed under the Anti-Organized Crime Law.

Anyway, this place is of no use now.

You guys, get to a place where you can get a signal.

I brought the pills!

If anyone wants to leave, now's the time.

Turn your cell phones off.

I can't do anything for you.

Boss...

You're gonna be pissed.

I'm not here expecting anyone to do anything for me.

I'm about the same age as you,

but I've never had to endure any hardships.

Maybe it's you who wants to leave?

Isn't that your personal wish?

What did you say?

I'm going to become an executive of Sahashi!

Sorry for running my mouth...

I'll cool off for a bit.

Someone, call Mitsuma back.

- Koishi, Tetsu. - Yes, sir.

- Let's head back. - Yes.

- Bring a broom. - Yes.

Take your time.

I need you to make a firm decision here.

I've said I'm not teaming up with anyone.

Don't think you can just intimidate anyone into submission.

I know you're using this place as a front.

You're sending money to Korea.

It's a fine underground bank, isn't it?

Answer me here and now.

There's a beef knife in the back.

Wait! You chickenshit!

Stop!

Hold up, dammit!

Tomancho! Run away!

Tomancho! Tomancho!

Hyun!

Wait, you shit-for-brains!

Kenki!

There's been a report.

Your brother is causing trouble with his military service,

and it seems like the Korean police are watching him!

Your brother's situation is getting serious.

For Tochino, anyway.

And don't forget about the two illegal immigrant hostesses here.

Do you understand?

How much do you need?

- How about Kenki? - Don't worry, he'll be back soon.

I've already taken care of that.

The weather will deteriorate from now on, with clouds tonight.

And after midnight, rain is expected, mainly in the southern regions.

The rain will spread to the central and northern regions by dawn.

Tomorrow will likely be a day with gloomy weather all day long.

As for the temperature, in Osaka, the minimum will be around 25°C,

so this night will be a hot and humid one.

Tomorrow's maximum temperature will be around 29°C...

Son of a bitch!

Awano has ended up being useless.

As the acting leader, I plan to proceed with Nakahira to be the successor.

How are we supposed to handle Awano?

How about giving him the title of Honorary Advisor and a substantial severance pay?

Such leniency will only leave lingering resentment.

As the consensus of the underbosses, I recommend retirement,

and making Shinozaki here the successor to Awano.

What do you think?

Have you made up your mind?

Ah, well, please take care of it.

Hey, get out of the way!

What's the matter? Move!

Selling out your own boss? Awano has some outstanding subordinates, huh?

Did you cover the stock gap?

Who the fuck are you?!

Name's Toyama. I'm Nakahira's brother.

For 100 million, I can kill anyone.

If you guys leave Kadoya alone, you won't like what happens.

Scared that you'll get your ass dug out in prison, huh?

Take him out of here!

- Yes, sir! - Come on, out!

Brother, being supported by such scum,

what kind of fourth generation is that?!

- Get him out! - Come on, sir.

- Throw him out! - Yes, sir!

- Hurry up and throw him out! - Yes, sir!

Get outta here!

By the way, who is Kadoya?

I don't want any trouble.

- Hey, call Awano's office. - Yes, sir.

Hey, what's this all about?

Excuse me, our boss Nakahira would like to speak directly with Mr. Awano.

He's on the phone.

This is Nakahira. What are you doing next Tuesday?

What's up?

I was thinking to see my brother's golf skills again after a long time.

Is that so?

Since the mourning period isn't over, I can't go golfing.

It's a secret, keep it confidential.

- Nakahira. - Yes.

I've been having a hard time urinating lately.

It takes a long time.

You're not that old yet.

I'd love to take a piss when I'm on the verge of bursting.

What do you want?

I want to settle things properly.

If it's just for tea, I can accompany you.

Please do that.

I'm hanging up.

Shinozaki's underhanded guys sold me out.

Nakahira is trying to lure me out and kill me.

I'll call up that Kadoya kid.

It's me.

- Yes, sir. - You're expelled.

You know what that means, right?

Hey! Hey!

I don't have anything.

Look! I'm just going out to eat.

Auntie!

- I'm gonna use the bathroom again. - Sure, go ahead.

- Tochino's here. - He's intruding!

Well, just sit down.

No need.

What the hell is this?

300 million yen.

It's a token of thanks for Kajiwara pulling some strings.

We're leaving.

Wait a minute.

Shortly, brother Nakahira will be meeting someone here.

The fourth generation leader of the Sahashi group will be decided.

After that, I'd like you to pledge allegiance to the fourth leader.

I'm used to doing things independently.

If you ever need money, I can always funnel it to you.

This isn't funny!

Brother, it's about time.

Just drive around in circles.

I don't need the money.

Sahashi is about to expand into Korea.

I want to ask you to be the intermediary for that.

All the more reason to refuse. Who would want to team up with you guys?

You've been a killer since you were a kid.

I know all about it.

Don't talk big to me.

There are things in this world scarier than the yakuza!

You fool!

Tetsu!

Get off me! Let go!

Get off me!

- Soo-Guk! - Die!

Soo-Guk!

I'm...

I'm so glad I got to meet you...

I was truly happy...

Come on, get the car started!

- No good, the cops are coming. - I need the gun back.

- Shut up! - Get away, please!

- Give it to... Give it to me! - Run away!

Run away!

Why?!

Please, run away!

- Give me my gun! - Run away, please!

- Give back my gun! - Boss!

- I want my gun back! - Boss!

Wait a moment.

It's the boss. Do you want to take over?

Shall we turn him down?

- Yes, sir. - What the hell are you doing?

With this, it's not just a split, it's dissolution!

Drop me off somewhere. Leave me alone.

I can't give you the gun.

Leave it behind.

Go upstairs to the second floor. Please.

What is it?

A condolence gift.

Yakuza style, huh?

Go home!

Why did you meet with Nakahira?

If you deal with the yakuza, you'll fall and become filth like them.

If you had just kept quiet and smiled, both of you could have survived!

Come on, let's go.

Thirty years of waiting, and this is what I get.

Why did you become a yakuza?

Who ever becomes a yakuza for an obvious reason?!

Don't think you owe me anything.

What I did when we were kids... I didn't do it to save your ass.

That yakuza stepped on my father's face with his muddy, disgusting feet.

That's what it was about!

Do you feel better now?

Never show your face here again!

Fine by me.

Just go straight ahead.

That person has been with you since the day you were born...

Always hungry...

Gulping food down like a stray dog...

Always following me behind.

Still, I did whatever I could to split us up.

Even murder.

No matter what you say, it will take time for me to forgive you.

It's so frustrating...

Thanks for your patronage.

Here's your change. Thank you very much.

Atsushi Nakahira is picked as the Sahashi clan's fourth generation successor,

ending the ongoing dispute!

Where's Kadoya?

Where is he hiding?

How could you not know?

Spit it out.

Spit it out, you fucker!

Brother!

- Here's the retirement statement. - Is Kadoya on the wanted list?

Don't worry about it. He's already been expelled.

But more importantly, brother,

if I go straight, there's a business I want to start.

I need some capital, a decent amount.

Please, brother.

If you're going to do it, make it a legit business.

A legit one...

Thanks a lot.

I'll go get the car ready out front.

What is it?

Do you have something to say?

You don't have any doubts, do you?

I've stepped down, and everything's settled.

Why would I have doubts?!

If that's the case, then it's all right.

I'll add furigana to the difficult kanji.

You misjudged the situation.

Once, you said you'd like to keep your true feelings hidden from others.

As I see it, you had this coming.

Come to my place if you want.

I'll have you join under boss Miyamatsu.

It won't be a long sentence. I'll wait for you.

I'm fine.

Stop it with your tough front! That's enough!

I'm not putting up a front. I'm off.

You called me out.

Did you need something?

It wasn't something I should have asked you to do.

Go inside.

- If it's someone you know, you can let them in. - It's fine, I'm just handing something over.

- I'll return it when I'm done. - I won't need it anymore after that.

Sorry.

Turn it into a funeral wreath, and send it back.

Give me some medicine.

Alcohol isn't helping. The ringing in my ears won't stop.

Just one more.

Take them all.

The world is full of shit, anyway.

What kind of face do you think you're showing up with?

It's the celebration of the fourth generation's succession!

Don't look so grim.

I have the same blood running through my veins as you do.

Just kidding!

Drink that and then get out!

- What? - I'm going to the bathroom.

All right.

What the hell, Kadoya?!

- You bastard, what are you're doing?! - What are you trying to pull?!

- Somebody! - Stop...

Isn't anyone here?!

Wait, wait! Wait!

If this man dies, it's going to be a huge mess!

Damn it!

Kuroiwa! Hey, Kuroiwa!

Run away! Get out of here!

Run! Quick!

I'll take you to the hospital right away.

Half-assed it again, huh?

- Out of the way! Get in the car! - Hey, mister!

- Tochino... - What are you doing?

Why today...

Your mother is calling for you...

How's Nakahira?

Why? You were there, so what were you doing?

You were the one who ordered it, right?

My brother is already retired!

Come back, please.

What the fuck?

If we're not careful, the Sahashi group will fall apart.

We have no choice but to have you come back.

It's the only way!

Wait at home.

You understand, right?

Your body isn't just yours anymore.

Brother, I'll go get the car, so wait here.

Hold on, brother!

Here you go.

About that deal, let's leave it for next time.

Sure.

Kadoya...

Where's Nakahira?

He's dead.

You killed him?

So, my judgment was right.

Once you've served your sentence, come back to me, all right?

Who the hell do you think you are?

What?

Hey, what the hell are you saying?!

Brother, should we just leave him like that?

- What should we do, brother? - Don't bother, if we leave him, he'll die.

Who might you be?
