THIS FILM IS A WORK OF FICTION

TOEI COMPANY, LTD

KANMON CHANNEL

The Kanmon Channel is the gateway to Japan

that has been open to the continent since ancient times.

It has also served as a mouth that sucked in many kinds of crime.

Drugs and other illegal commodities would be secretly unloaded,

and stored at smugglers' warehouses in the area,

then sold off to dealers from all over the country.

Fighting over the territorial rights that lead to huge profits were

two major criminal organizations, the Owada Family and the Kyoei Group.

SHUJI KURODA, A TRAVELER

Are you sure about it?

I'm sure.

Tetsu...

It must be bothersome for you.

You want me to handle that too?

Huh?

I'm gonna have to turn myself in in your place anyway.

So it wouldn't make any difference if I did it myself.

Tetsu...

You're Boss Owada's favorite man and his son-in-law.

You don't need to put yourself at risk.

I want you to keep making lots of money for you and me, you see.

What's the matter?

Gotta piss!

Tetsu, here it comes!

Hurry up, Tetsu, what are you doing?

Come on now.

IWAO MASAKI KYOEI GROUP CHAIRMAN

- That was fun. - Yeah.

Welcome back.

Get over here!

Wait!

Who are you?

Boss!

Run!

TSUNEHIKO WATASE YURIKO HISHIMI

Boss says to say hello.

The Family's doing incredibly well, all thanks to you.

Take care of yourself and get out soon.

We'll be waiting for you, with plenty of money saved up.

Yeah, I look forward to it.

I'm counting on you.

What the fuck?

Shut up. We're going to make you feel good.

Let me go.

KATSUO SHIMURA

Bastards!

Cut it out.

What's your problem? You wanna fight?

Brother... Brother!

Sorry for your trouble the other day.

Thank you.

Brother, which Family do you belong to?

I've got no relations whatsoever.

But I'm a bonded brother with the boss-to-be of the Owada Family in Kyushu.

They asked me to join them when I get out.

If you want, you can come with me.

I'd be happy to. I'll serve you well.

Several years went by.

Over time Kusunoki had stopped contacting Kuroda.

Kuroda wrote letters to him but never heard back from him.

KO NISHIMURA, MIKIO NARITA TSUTOMU YAMAZAKI

SEVEN YEARS LATER

There he is!

Brother! I waited for you!

Welcome back!

Here. Brother, please have a smoke.

Who's this?

He's my little brother, so to speak.

His name is Kobayashi.

I'm an apprentice, Akira Kobayashi. Honored to meet you.

He wanted to join up, and tagged along here.

Please, Brother, take him on.

You're a big executive of the Owada Family once you return to Kyushu.

A couple more men to support wouldn't be a big deal for you, would it?

But you see...

What I told you before may not happen.

What?

Brother, please put this on.

I bought it for you.

Looks good.

Who is it?

Sorry to put you through such hardship.

I expected you to be doing slightly better than this.

I'm an abandoned dog. They don't need me any more.

Why abandoned?

You're the one who made the Owada Family the boss of this town.

That's why I'm no longer needed.

Then we should go have a sit-down with Boss Owada.

A sit-down?

I served time in your place

with the promise I'd be taken care of when I come out!

Owada can't ignore me.

Let's have a sit-down.

You have a point.

Darling?

Misako, it's Kuroda.

Thank you for all your help back then.

We're grateful.

It's a humble home but please come in.

Well, there's some place we've gotta be. Right?

Yeah. We're gonna go see your father.

OWADA FAMILY

Oh, hello!

Is there a meeting?

Yes. The boss has called everyone to meet here.

I see. Let me wait for him here.

Come on in.

Brother.

Hey.

Oh, you’re...?

That's right. You met Sugawa back then.

I'm leaving him with Izeki for now.

That's right. Long time no see.

So, you don't have any young men under you now?

There's no point in going over this any longer.

Bring out some whisky now!

I thought we had agreed to focus on business today.

TOKUJI OWADA OWADA FAMILY GODFATHER

With or without alcohol my position won't change.

If we keep operating in the small confines of Owada's territory,

TAKEO AKAMATSU SWORN BROTHER TO OWADA FAMILY

all of us will end up getting too fat.

That's why I want to venture out to a larger area myself.

If I leave,

the rest of you will have more space to share among yourselves, right?

SHIGEHIKO AIHARA OWADA FAMILY CAPTAIN

You're saying the territory's gotten small, but how did you get so fat?

Wasn't it the name of the Owada Family that got you where you are now?

If you want to go it alone...

you should first return your present territories for prostitution

and drug dealing to our Family.

Then you can leave.

Idiot!

I'm not one of Owada's kids like you guys. I'm his brother!

I built my own territories by myself.

You have no right to complain about them. You greenhorn!

I agree with Aihara.

SEIJI IZEKI OWADA FAMILY LIEUTENANT

It doesn't make sense to get greedy and start a war.

It's better to live and let live, right?

I won't allow you to go independent.

Think of what would happen if you leave and create an opening.

They say a tiny ant hole can make a solid wall crumble.

Do you think you can succeed without the Family's backup?

I'm not saying I want the Family to fall.

You may not be saying it but that's what you mean.

What?

Mr. Akamatsu...

We've helped one another to get here together.

Let's stop fighting and try to get along.

He's right. There's no need to fight among ourselves.

That's enough! I'm leaving.

Thank you for coming.

Looks like it's over.

I'm going to see the boss. I'll come get you in a minute.

Boss, please!

Kuroda took the blame all on his own.

So he should receive five million at least, or I'll lose face.

Face? What face is that? Idiot!

If you want to save face, go and make five million on your own.

I gave you a hostess bar and you sold it off.

How can you ask me for five million so casually?

No matter how much I gave you, you spent it all on drugs like nothing.

Wipe your own dirty ass!

Yeah, I've got a fine son-in-law for sure.

Listen...

If you want to talk like a man, you should be able to feed your own wife.

Father...

What do you want?

If you don't like it, return your bonding cup and get out.

I'm begging you. Five... no, three million will do.

Loan me the money. I'm pleading with you.

I believe my services have earned that much at least.

Shut up!

I'll kick you out...

out of the Family. Go home now!

This is a nice bar, isn't it?

It's quite small, but we make just enough to eat.

It would sell for about five million, I suppose.

What?

What do you mean by that?

What I mean is, I was counting on receiving five million.

If Owada isn't gonna give it to me, I should get it from you.

Do you really mean that?

I haven't had enough to be drunk yet.

You can give me five million, or you can give me this bar.

Either way I want you to do the right thing. You see?

Let me ask you again.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah, I do.

Dear!

Seven and a half years is a long time!

I was thinking five million wasn't enough.

You no-good fool, what kind of a son-in-law are you?

Kill me, then!

You'll be happy if you kill me, won't you?

Alright, I'll kill you!

Brother, please stop.

I'll pay!

I'll pay you five million, I promise!

Misako!

I've got to pay him even if I have to sell my body.

Don't you realize you owe him that much?

Let's go.

Kuroda, isn't it? It's been a long time.

Yes.

What happened?

Some problem?

No.

Welcome. What brings you here?

Come on in.

Let's have a drink somewhere else.

I've got bars of my own.

The boss is very concerned about you,

and wants me to talk with you.

Are these your men?

Yes.

Go get some women.

We'll be drinking somewhere else.

Accept it.

Thank you.

Well, let me borrow him a while.

You see, I thought Kusunoki was going to be the next Owada boss.

That was a major miscalculation.

Well, take this for now.

It's from the boss.

A hundred thousand for seven and a half years?

Your mistake was betting on Kusunoki.

It's like putting money on the wrong horse.

You've gotta let it go.

It's win or lose.

It was a mistake to put my money on the safest bet.

Hey, where are you staying?

Wake up.

Drinking like a beggar.

HOTEL

Come on.

Who's this man?

Just a drifter.

Hey, wake up, come on.

What took you so long?

I waited for you since sundown.

We don't have enough time now.

Well, just go home tonight.

Make sure no one sees you and wait a while before you leave.

Alright? Same as usual. I'm going out first.

Darling, what shall we do about him?

Leave that bastard alone.

Hey, gimme some water!

Ah, how pretty.

You're really pretty.

The red evening sun falls burning

Floating on the ocean, where are you going?

With a guitar in my arms, aimlessly

I fade away into the night

You remind me of myself, the red evening sun

Hey!

Hello.

What happened?

Were you hanging with that man all night?

You know, I'm not really sure.

What time is it?

It's almost dinner time.

Could you come with me for a little while?

Sure. What do you want?

We're gonna make you five million now.

Where are we going?

Boss has a mistress named Shinako who lives up the road.

Yeah?

Boss should be there right now, riding her like a boat.

Hey!

What did you do that for?

Just shut up and wait here.

Boss! Boss!

Tetsu? What are you doing?

Shut up!

Have you lost your mind?

Treating me like this.

Do you think you're gonna get away with it?

I don't care if I don't.

Unless I receive five million, I won't be able to survive as a yakuza.

Tell me, how does it feel to dig your own grave?

Keep digging!

Shinako, come on out.

Hey, keep an eye on him so that he won't run.

Hey.

Idiot!

That's good enough.

Help me!

I beg you, I'll do anything. Please, spare me!

Shut up! Just sit there!

Namu-amida...

Here you go!

Darling, help me now!

Hey! I'll pay five million. I will.

I don't trust you.

Take my word for it. I promise I'll pay!

Dad, you're next. Take a good look.

Trust my word, I'm begging you.

Hey, hold it.

When will you pay me?

Tomorrow.

Stop crying!

I'll have one of my men bring it to you.

Stop Crying now!

Hey, thanks for coming.

Have a seat.

What kind of stunt did you pull off last night?

I wonder...

What happened?

Why don't you ask your boss?

He suddenly changed his mind...

and said to pay you five million right away.

He called me on the phone.

Thanks for your trouble.

Money is money no matter where it comes from.

Give it to me.

It was short notice and we don't have five million lying around.

Use this for now. Here.

What's this?

It's heroin. It's five to six hundred thousand worth.

Does your boss know about this?

He's leaving it in my hands until he gets the money together.

But I can't do anything with this.

Do you expect to earn money without breaking a sweat?

Are you telling me to sell it to make money?

That's right. You know the massage places around here.

All the girls use it.

What's the matter? Don't you like the arrangement?

What's the situation with the territory?

It belongs to Akamatsu of our Family.

I'll let him know about it.

Well, alright now? We'll be in touch.

He said it's Akamatsu's territory, didn't he?

Yes.

Sorry, we aren't open yet.

I'd like to see Mr. Akamatsu.

Please come in.

This way, please.

You said you had something to show me.

So, what do you want me to do with that?

I want you to buy this.

For how much?

Five hundred thousand.

Idiot. Five hundred thousand is the retail price.

I would buy it for three hundred.

Mr. Akamatsu, I'm broke and in need of help.

Aihara told me to sell it for that price.

Aihara did?

Yes.

I'm not yet familiar with the situation around here,

and I don't want to get myself into trouble by being ignorant.

That's why I came to you.

What are you saying?

I don't know what Aihara told you,

but you'd better get out of town if you want to live.

Get out now!

What are you barking at?

I see you have a guest.

Oh, it's you.

I saw you at the hotel.

I thought it was a dream.

But I'll be damned, it's you.

You must be mistaken.

What hotel was that?

Well, I seem to be wrong.

I'm sorry about the mistake.

Excuse me now.

How did it go?

He has a tight fist.

Ah, we need five hundred thousand.

The bills for the inn are piling up.

Let's sell it. I'm sure we can sell it off quickly.

Alright. Sell it.

Yes. Come on.

Tell me!

Who were you seeing at the hotel?

You damned whore! This isn't a show!

Tell me, did you sleep with that bastard?

Say it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You bitch!

I didn't do anything.

You think you can get away with it? I'm gonna kill you!

Who's the man? Huh?

How many times did you let him into your hole?

There. There!

Darling, if you want to punish me,

use my body, punish me as much as you want.

Then you'll know I'm not cheating on you.

What? Are you really not doing anything?

No.

I'm gonna sell you off to a whorehouse next time.

Run!

Brother!

Take this with you.

Forgive me. I'll give it back to you.

You hick! Next time you show your face here, you're dead!

Don't forget that.

Bastards. Who are you kidding?

Brother. Brother!

Brother, are you alright?

I'm alright.

How did you do?

Bastards, I fooled them.

That's good.

It's okay as long as we've got the goods.

If we ever lose that, we'll let our brother down.

Akira! Where are you going?

How can I help you?

Is Mr. Akamatsu in?

Give it back to me!

Give me a knife!

Aya... Aya!

Boss! Boss! Boss!

Stand back.

I know him.

You know him?

I'm his Family.

Wait. Are you with the Akamatsu Family?

No.

Hm, then come.

That young man is my Family.

Uncle.

Miyai.

Yes.

What are you guys gonna do, gathering here like this?

Well, we want to avenge the boss's death.

What era are you living in?

Do you think the general public will condone this kind of behavior?

The police want your group to be dissolved.

To hell with the police!

Shut up!

How will you manage to lead your men in your boss's place?

Our boss is concerned about your members who are left behind.

He offers to look after you.

But if you get into trouble with the police,

the Family will be dissolved, and he won't take you in.

Take responsibility and get the men to go home. All right?

But what about Kuroda?

Leave it to us. We'll come up with the best solution.

Alright?

Y... yes.

We're done. Please go ahead.

Kuroda, what made you kill Akamatsu?

Tell me what happened.

We'll need to take appropriate measures depending on circumstances.

Please ask Aihara about it.

Aihara? What do you mean?

I will explain. But first...

Kuroda, here's the five million I promised.

Hey, hadn't you given it to him yet?

Boss, the fact is, I made a plan to get Kuroda to kill Akamatsu.

What did you say?

What did you do that for?

A guy like Akamatsu who kept all the profits in his pocket,

and now wanted to leave the Family and go independent.

It wouldn't make a good example if we just let him do whatever he wanted.

But if someone in the Family killed him it wouldn't look good to the others.

But Aihara, Akamatsu was Boss's brother after all.

And you took it in your own hands.

There's such a thing as an indirect way of loyalty in the world of the yakuza.

In your mind I bet you all had the same thought, didn't you?

Kuroda, I'll give you twenty-four hours to leave this town.

You'll be okay on the road with that money.

This is the money you promised me seven years ago.

How are you going to pay me for taking care of Akamatsu?

What?

We did what you told us to do, and lost a young man.

This money won't even pay for a funeral.

Please do the right thing.

Do you think a wanderer like yourself

is in any position to try and get your way with the Owada Family?

A wanderer has his own pride too.

Throw him out!

Stop it!

I'll take in Kuroda.

Treat him as a guest and show him hospitality.

Boss!

Aihara, Kuroda served seven years in jail for us.

Not only that...

He's the one who did the work for you to carry out your plan.

You shouldn't treat him so heartlessly.

But Akamatsu's young men won't be happy about the way you treat him.

You're the one who needs to keep them under control.

I was planning to expel Akamatsu. Tell them that.

Case closed.

Kuroda, I'll take care of the one who died.

Can you settle for that?

Yes.

His mother is hereto claim his body.

Do you confirm that he is Shigeru Sasaki?

Yes.

You want him to be cremated here and take his ashes home, correct?

Excuse me, I'm his friend.

He told me his name was Akira Kobayashi.

Is that so?

I don't know why...

but he paid for going crazy over a movie star,

and disrespecting the name his parents gave him.

MISSING: SHIGERU SASAKI

He was always a foolish young boy.

He said he didn't want to be a farmer,

and wanted to be a wanderer, and ran away from home.

What the fortune teller told me came true.

She said he wouldn't return alive, but as red bones.

If his body turns into red bones, it's a sign of his wrongdoing.

What will our ancestors say then?

Atmosphere is a sales point for the nightlife business,

so I plan to decorate it like a Ginza bar.

I see...you're quite the entrepreneur, aren't you?

It's all because the Owada Family is behind me.

Boss, let me introduce you to the manager of the bar. This is Boss Owada.

I know him well.

It's been a long time. Welcome.

Oh, so it's you.

I thought you might still be in mourning.

I talked her into it.

It doesn't make sense to stay loyal to a dead man forever.

Boss, this way, please.

Please.

Well, please relax and enjoy.

Ginza, my ass.

What bad taste. All he knows about are cheap cabarets.

Kuroda, I see you got the support role.

It was your work that allowed them to get together.

You'd better stay away from that woman.

She's what they call a bad-luck maid.

Every man who gets involved with her ends up dead.

The man before Akamatsu and the man before him...

died in car accidents or something, I hear.

Is that right? How frightening.

Then you should stay away from her, too.

Well, I'd be interested in sleeping with her maybe once.

ASAJIRO NOZAKI OSAKA NOZAKI FAMILY GODFATHER

A nice bar, isn't it?

Please come this way.

Boss, it's Nozaki from Osaka.

My goodness, my Elder Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I'm here as Aihara's guest today.

Uncle, it's been a long time.

I hear you're doing well.

Doing my best.

Boss, please come this way. Please.

Aihara, how come you didn't tell me Elder Brother was coming?

Now, now, it's alright. I'm here with you now.

Boss. The mayor is on the phone.

He wants to say congratulations to you.

My, my. Excuse me for a few minutes.

How about that? Aihara's grown big.

You have a good successor.

You can relax and retire any time you want.

Brother. Did Aihara mention something about my retirement?

No, he didn't.

I've never said anything to anyone about who the successor will be.

But you know, there's no other candidate who's good enough.

Listen, you're getting up there.

It's a good idea to start thinking about who your successor will be.

I asked you to gather here today

regarding my successor after my retirement.

Boss, are you retiring?

That's not what I mean.

I just want to prepare for the times to come...

and decide who will be within the inner circle.

Izeki, you take over the Family after me.

What?

Me?

That's right. You.

Boss, I disagree.

Me too.

I don't want to sound harsh but he doesn't have the charisma.

What a thing to say. He's first in the ranks.

Aihara...

I hope you weren't thinking of pushing him aside

and getting to the top yourself.

So, there it is.

Also, I want to take this opportunity to give Kuroda my bonding cup.

Please be my witnesses.

Hey, get Kuroda in here.

Boss, hold on a minute.

I'd submit to any decision you make.

But I do oppose you giving Kuroda your cup.

Letting a total stranger like him into the Owada Family

is like soiling the valuable name of Owada.

He's right.

He's a wanderer.

He's someone I've come to trust in.

Or are you saying your judgment of character is better than mine?

Boss.

Did you want to see me?

Kuroda, I want to give you my cup as a symbol of our bond.

Have you ever bonded with anyone before?

No, no one.

Alright.

Izeki, after I give him my cup,

you give him a cup to bond as his brother.

I want you to cooperate with everyone else

and keep the Family going strong after I retire.

Alright?

Yes.

Father!

It's been a few years, hasn't it?

Yeah.

How's your blood pressure?

It was 150/70 yesterday.

That's good.

You still remember what I like.

Here.

Misako. I'm thinking of retiring.

I thought I'd be able to keep going,

but people around me are pressuring me.

I guess it's a good time to withdraw.

If I persist, I might end up losing everything.

Is that so?

I support your decision.

Don't you want to come home?

What can you do with a bar like this?

I'm going to be alone too.

How about living together, the two of us, just like old times?

Alright?

I can't.

Are you still being loyal to that maniac?

Leave him. Separate from him now.

He's no longer human. He's an animal.

If you hold on to him he's gonna end up killing you.

Dear!

You know, Aihara, it still feels like I'm dreaming.

I never thought it'd happen.

I'm sure you have things to say,

but I ask you to please support me.

You're the indisputable man of power in the Family.

I'll help you with anything you want.

Thanks. Everyone, I count on you.

I'm blessed with a good boss and Family members.

I'm really fortunate.

Mama, will you dance with me?

You thought Aihara was going to be the successor,

but you miscalculated.

Or are you in love with him?

Do you think I am?

A sexy woman like you in my arms makes me want to steal you from him.

You've got a nice thing going here.

Take care of me.

Come with me.

Take care of me!

You shouldn't.

Boss. If it's heroin, I'll get you some.

Stay out of this!

Boss!

Darling!

Misako, there's no drugs!

Dear, hold on!

No drugs, no drugs, no drugs.

Dearest, please go to the hospital,

or I'm going to have to leave you.

What did you do with the drugs?

There's no more drugs. I threw them out.

Darling! Darling!

Uncle!

Get in the car.

Get in!

Misako, what happened?

Have you come home?

I'm exhausted, really exhausted.

Come on, get out.

Stop it. That's his last shot.

Let him have as much as he wants.

What's this? Are you gonna kill me?

It's the boss's order.

He wants to get Misako back from you and marry her to Kuroda.

Kuroda is quite a good ass kisser.

Aren't you angry, being treated like this?

Stop it, stop it!

That's enough!

I really sympathize with you. I don't feel like killing you.

If you want to live,

you must kill your father-in-law and Kuroda with your own hands.

Boss, Kusunoki's here.

What should I tell him?

Darling.

Kuroda, buy Misako.

What are you saying?

I'll sell her to you for money, so buy her from me.

You low life bastard!

Idiot!

Darling!

Boss!

No, darling!

Watch out!

Dearest...

So what happened to the son-in-law?

He's in the crazy house.

Really?

What a bad way to go for Boss Owada.

His daughter's the one who's taking the real blow.

She's lost her husband and father at the same time.

Misako, I feel for you.

But keep your head up.

Yes.

Thanks for taking the time to come.

Uncle.

I wonder what that's about.

This is the real test.

Prepare yourself.

Izeki, Uncle wants to see you.

Kuroda, you aren't invited.

It's an exclusive meeting among the Executive Members only.

It's okay, sit down.

Izeki, it's about the announcement of the successor.

This was a sudden development, and Nozaki is concerned for us too.

The sooner the announcement the better.

A delay will affect the Family's integrity,

and the police will try to break us up.

I hear the former boss nominated Izeki as the successor.

Well, it wasn't official.

Listen, Izeki...

Do you still wish to take over Owada's position?

Well, yes.

But it's going to be tough.

There's a pile of problems we have to deal with, socially and internally.

The new boss must have incredible determination.

Anyone with a weak mind wouldn't last three days.

It costs money, you see.

Aihara has some stash, so we should be okay.

But how about you?

Izeki, I'd like to know what you honestly think.

Are you truly ready to take on the big name of Owada? Tell me.

What's the matter? Why don't you answer me?

Well...

I need to discuss it with Kuroda.

Izeki!

Do you call yourself a grown man?

I don't have enough funds,

so I resign from my designation.

I recommend Aihara for the position.

I see, okay.

So it's decided.

Aihara, listen to me.

The first thing to do is a spring cleaning within the Family.

Cut off anyone who might become trouble for you later, and show no mercy.

Kuroda will be the first one to go.

Who's that?

He's a personal guest of Boss Owada.

No one knows his background.

He's bonded with Izeki as Brother.

Kuroda isn't the kind of person who'd do harm to the new boss.

I know there's been misunderstandings.

But I'll talk to him.

New Boss...

Please forget the past and take on Kuroda just like you took on me.

Izeki, Kuroda is a bad influence on you.

How's that?

Think about it.

I need you as my right arm now.

If you're bonded with a stray dog, my reputation will be affected too.

It's best to cut him off, I say.

Say, Izeki, why don't you put an end to it yourself?

What do you mean an end?

You pushed the big job of taking over the Family on Aihara.

That's the least you can do for him.

If it's too much for you to handle, I can do it for you.

If it has to be done, I will do it myself.

But can you please save my face and simply send him away instead?

Send him away?

I'll tell him it's an executive decision and get him to agree to it.

We'll cancel our brotherhood, too. Please.

Would he really agree to it?

What's wrong with sending him away?

Izeki, be sure to strip him of all he's got and kick him out of this town.

If he ever returns, even for a moment, your life will be at risk.

Understand?

Yes.

Send me away?

I beg you.

Please do as I tell you.

I'll do whatever I can to help you.

I'm sorry but will you return the pin to us?

The pin, I see.

But Brother, I will definitely resent this.

What?

You got easily sucked into Aihara's scheme.

This bastard will show them his tough spirit.

I'll show them what a stray dog is made of.

Brother, listen...

I'm gonna put you back in the position of the Family's Boss.

Kuroda, wait! What on earth are you planning to do?

What else? I'm gonna take Aihara's life.

You're crazy. It's impossible.

He's got so many soldiers.

Leave it to me.

You stay right here.

Let me tell you, a yakuza is just scum if he's not the leader.

You guys, go get the guns.

Yes.

I came to steal another man's woman.

Let me in.

Pretty luxurious life, isn't it?

What do you want?

I told you I came to steal you.

You came to kill him.

You killed Akamatsu, now it's Aihara.

Why do you have to kill all my men?

Bad luck, I suppose.

You want some?

I'll have some.

I don't like seeing people killed right in front of me.

But you won't be able to kill Aihara.

How come?

He's not like other men.

You know, he calls me a bitch and only does me from behind.

The truth is he's scared of being involved with a bad-luck maid.

He thinks he's safe as long as he does me from behind.

Aihara's that kind of a man.

And you?

I'm a stray dog.

You said you came to steal me.

Yeah.

Do you want to do me from the front...

or from behind?

I see.

It's Aihara. He says he can't come tonight.

Ask him what happened.

What happened?

We're still drinking and it's getting late. I can't take time off.

I'm going to visit Osaka soon,

so let's hang out over there.

I'll buy you anything you want.

I look forward to it.

Good night.

He has no idea whatsoever.

But his life is saved.

He still has his luck.

Hey, are you going home, just like that?

I don't want to die just yet.

They all want to live long. Men.

Kuroda!

Hurry!

Sugawa, what are you doing here?

There's no second chance. You'll need a driver.

A few days later, Aihara headed toward Osaka with Izeki and the others

in order to make official visits as the new leader of the Owada Family.

Aihara will first visit the Okochi Family in Ube.

They're doing construction near the Onoda exit off Route 195.

It's one-way and they'll have to slow down.

There's a side road right by it, so we'll meet them head on.

Go now.

This is Yamaguchi Traffic Information.

At the moment, all roads in Ube City are moving smoothly.

On Route 2, due to ongoing construction, traffic is restricted.

There's a backup that stretches for 4 km between Onoda and Ube.

Keep it at 60 km per hour. That'll get us there just in time.

Look at this!

Hey.

Yes.

Doesn't look good.

Sugawa, cut across there.

Hurry up, will you? Hurry up!

I'm counting on you.

Shall we?

Alright, let's go.

Damn it. Make a right!

Go! Damn it. Follow them. Follow them!

Here they come. Hurry up!

Kakita. The police!

Get to the police!

Here they come.

HIROSHIMA

The next day, Aihara sought help from the Morimoto Family of Hiroshima,

in order to protect against Kuroda's attack.

The entourage of five cars headed toward Fukuyama.

FUKUYAMA

KURASHIKI

TAMANO

Brother, there are four cars.

I thought there were five.

Don't worry. Follow them.

Strange. There's no such road on the map.

I wonder if it's a trap.

We've got no choice.

It is a trap! Go back!

They're coming from behind!

Damn them. Ram into them! Damn it.

OSAKA

The police are useless!

They can't even find three small-time gangsters.

New Boss...

We should go straight back to Kyushu after we visit Nozaki.

We shouldn't stay here too long.

Izeki, it's all because you failed. Do you realize that?

Yeah?

What?

Is it the police?

It's Kuroda!

What?

What does he want?

He wants to speak to Izeki.

I don't want to speak to him. Takigawa, hang up on him.

Izeki.

Get on the phone.

But Boss...

He might want a truce.

Find out what his conditions are.

Hey, get on the phone. Hurry up.

Kuroda?

Why you... How dare you do a stupid thing like that!

Are you having fun making me suffer?

I beg you please to stop it already.

Mr. Aihara is willing to make a truce.

I'll mediate for you, so apologize to him.

Where the hell are you right now?

Brother, I can see you guys clearly from where I am.

You see, I hold no grudge against the fact that you tried to kill me.

All I want is Aihara's head.

To be frank, my young men got injured and it's difficult for me.

But I'm persistent and I won't give up.

You don't need to do anything. Just stay there.

Wear a bulletproof vest and don't move.

That man is crazy!

Completely...

Izeki ...

I hope you weren't contacting Kuroda, informing him of my moves.

No way, boss. I never saw him again after that. Believe me.

Who is it?

It's me, Aya.

Let her in.

Ms. Aya.

That's not nice.

Aya, good to see you.

What's with that face?

You look like you're already dead.

Please come in.

Please, come in. Welcome.

I know you must be tired, but please wait here a little while.

Boss is happily preparing a welcome party for tonight.

We thank you for your kindness,

but we're thinking of returning to Kyushu as soon as we see him.

Please don't be shy!

Boss will be so disappointed to hear that.

Please make yourselves at home. Please.

Boss! Boss, please look at this!

What?

Kuroda got arrested.

What?

Here.

KYUSHU YAKUZA ARRESTED FOR ILLEGAL GUN POSSESSION

It sure is Kuroda.

Yeah, I'm sure.

But his men are still around.

We shouldn't let our guard down.

Well, over the phone he said his men were seriously injured.

Is that so?

Then, we can relax for now.

Give it up already!

We know you're not Kuroda.

This is the real Kuroda. This is him.

Look. Look closely!

Why did you want to pretend to be him and get arrested?

You must have a reason, don't you?

Tell us, bastard!

Hey, we can't let you go to sleep yet.

Why? Why did you get arrested in his place?

Fess up, damn it!

Don't take us for fools.

Come on, speak up! Spill it!

I'm...

Yes?

Shuji Kuroda.

What the hell?!

Let's toast to the new boss of Owada!

Cheers!

Thank you.

Do a good job, okay? Now enjoy.

Welcome.

Excuse me.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Welcome!

What would you like?

Whisky on the rocks.

Wanna dance?

Boss!

Take him to a doctor!

Yes... yes. One moment please.

Is Mr. Izeki here? Mr. Kuroda is on the phone.

Uncle.

It's me.

Brother, you'll be at the top at last.

Go back to Kyushu right away

and prepare for the announcement of your position as the new boss.

If you don't hurry, someone might take your life next time around.
