DAIEI PRESENTS

Your Shirane Group and the Yokomizo Family are rivals.

How many men do you two have?

Not quite a thousand in all.

What?!

We'll go in shooting.

Hold it, Kunihiko. Be patient.

Mr. Kaito here accepts us both as "younger brothers"...

...and that we swear allegiance to the Tenseikai.

And what about our yakuza honor, Hirata?

Looks like the Boss has made up his mind.

I'll supply the men.

Is that it?!

The Higuchi Gang has cut its ties with the Yokomizo Family.

I ask both parties:

We wish a reconciliation.

Are you agreed?

We'll wake them up.

It's suicide to go up against the Shirane, Yokomizo and Tenseikai.

Life's nothing but a meteor.

It should flare up and then be over.

Our boss takes over the Family, and you retire.

Hit them.

To kill a snake, you crush its head.

That Kenzaki punk's got balls!

That makes him a real yakuza.

AGITATOR PART TWO: BLOODBATH

Keep the change.

GANGSTERS CONFESS TO MOB LORD KILLING

Boss, Kenzaki's on the line.

Hey, Kunihiko.

Where the hell are you?

Capg!

Kunihiko... what the hell's going on here?

Are you going to fight the Tenseikai by yourself?

They're treating us like a bunch of clowns!

- I don't give a shit who it is. - Smarten up!

You've only got one life!

Muroi's spilled his guts to us. That's a card in our hand.

I'm not talking about taking out Kaito or anything.

All I want is the Boss to run the Yokomizo.

Stop dreaming, Kunihiko!

- If we don't try... - You dumb shit!

Why do you think Shintani and Nishi took the fall?

They're taking responsibility for killing Shirane!

We're covering your ass!

And you sit here like you're all alone in this!

Wake up!

The Boss doesn't give a shit about taking over the Yokomizo!

Think we went overboard?

It doesn't look good. It's sink-or-swim time now.

I'll get some booze.

Man, that curry's good!

I wish I'd had it more...

“Soaking Wet Hotties.”

That's not my thing.

Soaking wet, huh? Soaking wet...

Bastards!

It's burning!

Hello.

There was gunfire at Kunihik0's place last night.

Probably payback for Muroi.

But the order might've come from Kaito.

You're reading too much into it.

They're just showing off.

The Muroi guys don't want to come out of this looking like chumps.

Kunihiko's completely out of control.

He won't let go of his prey.

Just like me when I was young, huh?

At this rate, the Higuchi will be totally surrounded.

The Shirane are one thing,

But if Kaito puts a target on our backs, we're not getting out of this.

So then,

you want to push a leash on him so we can rein him in?

What do you think he's going to do?

He's a shark going after a whale.

What are we gonna do with that mad dog?

He bites anything that moves.

It's my fault. I trained him.

I'm begging you.

Teach that punk a lesson.

Make him understand this is the real world.

Boss!

Strike one.

- What's the count? - One strike.

Here comes my death pitch!

Two strikes.

I'll take him out.

_ Damn you! ~ Sorry!

I'll kick your ass!

Hey, look...

You're getting fat.

You having fun?

You look like you've put on a little weight yourself.

Maruyama's a legend.

I said, Maruyama's great.

You know Tiger Woods, right?

Yeah.

Word is, you bagged one of the Shirane guys.

Kaito's the one pulling the strings.

He brought in Mizushima.

Tsuchiya acted as a go-between?

I like it.

He's forcing his plan through.

Guys like that always end up on top.

They're the ones who run the world.

So why don't we climb the ranks...

...by taking over the Yokomizo?

Kunihiko.

I became blood brothers with Yokomizo Takanori...

...because I respected him.

I never tried to take his place.

You said you'd be a boss one day.

You swore it when you left the village 28 years ago.

And I became one.

I'm the head of the mighty Higuchi Gang now, right Kunihiko?

What I'm saying is...

...we ought to climb all the way to the top.

Kunihiko...

Let's have dinner, yeah?

Koyasu.

Yeah.

How far are we going to eat?

There's a hot spring the boss goes to a lot.

Don't worry. I'll do it.

- I'm all right. - Don't worry.

Kunihiko...

...how long has it been?

Since I took the cup from you?

23 years.

31 years since we met.

Why did you become a yakuza and stick yourself to my ass?

I could ask you the same. Why are you a yakuza?

It was either that...

...or kill one of my parents.

And in the yakuza you can get ahead.

Live life to the full, huh?

You set me to dreaming, Chichi.

If life is shit...

...then why shouldn't the two of us smash into it as hard as we can?

Hi, Kunihiko.

Eat well.

You owe a debt to anyone who clothed and fed you.

From today on, your life belongs to me.

All right, Kunihiko?

I entrust my life to you. Do as you wish.

Shall I cook some more?

Yeah.

Have as much as you want.

Listen to me, Kunihiko.

From now on, I'm your father, and you're my son.

A son obeys without question.

Understood?

Yes, I understand.

Good.

Then go back to the village tomorrow.

Come see me in five years.

Then I'll take you into the family.

I don't want to go back.

My mother abandoned me.

Kunihiko...

...|'1O more...

...smashing into it.

Let Mum go.

Boss!

The Yokomizo and the Shirane are already one organization.

Kaito's won this war.

OK?

OK?

A man has to know when to pull out.

Yes.

Right.

Kaito isn't Superman.

We bust in and take him.

Mur0i's our ace in the hole!

Koyasu...

It's too risky.

One harpoon won't kill a whale.

Muroi's a sword that cuts both ways.

The longer you have him, the more you'll get hurt.

So what about Shintani and Nishi?

That filthy scheme of Kaito's will put them away for years!

Don't worry.

Jail is part of a yakuza's training.

They knew that when they signed up.

Come on, Chichi! What's wrong with you?

I don't like it...

...but at my age you start to see how the world works.

Fuck the Tenseikai!

How does 50 million sound?

Muroi doesn't walk for free.

That bastard put you to a lot of trouble.

Well?

50 million to drop it?

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

Can you...

...see me?

Papa?

Yeah?

Kunihiko...

Come on.

Here goes.

- I'll be right back. - Shall I go?

Don't be stupid.

They want me.

Fancy meeting you here.

Why you?

Where's Mizushima?

They asked me to come instead. Mizushima chickened out.

You guys are just too dangerous.

Old man Y0k0miz0's crying in his grave, Tsuchiya.

And you helped the ones who put him there.

When he was alive, he was a godfather.

All he is now is a name on a gravestone.

What about justice?

Doesn't that bother you?

What does it get you?

Try for justice and you just get squashed.

In this business, you win by staying alive.

Go on, be Kaito's poodle.

You and that shit Mizushima.

Higuchi...

...you won't think it over?

I could make you my number-two...

...if you want.

Dream on.

Boss!

Boss!

Kill that son of a bitch!

Let's get the others!

We weren't paid for that.

Can I go practice, then?

OK.

Raise your cups and drink.

Why didn't you protect him?!

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

Can I talk to you?

How are you?

I'm fine. ltjust grazed me.

A let's happened.

Nothing's going to get settled unless someone talks to you.

Tsuchiya and Mizushima took the pledge of brotherhood.

They're confirmed as successors.

I've been named second leader of the Higuchi Gang.

Good for you.

Tsuchiya...

...wants us back in the Yokomizo Family.

We've talked it over, and everyone's agreed.

And Kunihiko... about you...

I'm not staying.

I can't work for you.

I couldn't even go to the Boss's funeral.

But Kunihiko...

...you've got "younger brothers."

You have to think about their future.

Well?

The Boss is dead.

We should wear the crest of the second Higuchi Gang...

...and go in under the second leader of the Yokomizo Family.

And in the end be part of the Tenseikai Syndicate?

Their Mr. Kaito killed the Boss, you know.

That's...

That's what?

Because you went out of control.

You fucked with Muroi, and the Boss paid the price.

That's what the old guys say.

You're saying that I killed the Boss?

Is that what you're saying?!

- You never know when to stop! - I'll fucking kill you!

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Otomo, call everyone in here.

Hey!

I'm sorry.

There's 20 million there. Divvy it up and don't fight.

The Kenzaki Squad's disbanded.

I'm going for a walk. Be gone when I get back.

Otomo...

...what are you doing here?

I haven't done laundry in ten years!

And your guys?

I sent them with Mr. Torii. They'll do better there.

Who else is here?

Welcome back.

You didn't go?

I'm not leaving.

There's nowhere to go.

I couldn't go and leave him here.

I forced him to get his tattoo.

I'll boil some water, Boss.

Food!

SORRY. SAKURABA

Katsutoshi.

Yeah.

Where are you taking that?

In there.

Excuse me.

Tea?

We'd rather have beer and sushi, right, Mr. Ishim?

A nice cold beer.

Mr. Torii.

So, you're now the assistant number-two of the Yokomizo Family.

Quite the promotion, huh.

I owe it to our late boss.

The Higuchi Gang owes him everything.

Rumor is the new boss of the Yokomizo...

...is joining forces with the Tenseikai and Shirane.

Well, I wouldn't know about that.

Don't play dumb.

I heard it was going to happen.

I'm new. They don't tell me much.

Sorry.

It's here.

Perfect.

You trying to screw up our retirement?

You think a government worker drinks with yakuza?

Here.

Thanks.

So, Mr. Torii.

...what's Kenzaki up to?

Beats me...

I wonder what he's cooking up.

I don't care about him anymore.

Since he left the family.

Come on, that's not true.

Everyone knows you liked him.

That was before.

Why are you after him?

Boss Shirane's murder's been cleared up, right?

The Shirane headquarters got hit.

And your boss's killer got taken out.

Kenzaki's the suspect in both.

Word is, your kid's pretty sharp.

Hey.

Yeah.

You don't have to do that.

I'm sorry. The whole thing was all my fault.

It's all right, Kunihiko.

He's dead.

If you don't put it behind you...

...you will be, too.

I've lived...

...on time I borrowed from him.

What are you talking about? He'd hate to hear you say that!

You have to fly on your own... high enough for both of you.

I feel...

...like I'd killed him myself.

No! Don't talk like that!

Don't!

Hold it back.

Hold it back.

Sorry!

You came hard.

Sorry.

Hey!

I told you to relax.

THE WIND WAS WEEPING

IF YOU HAVE TO DIE AT SOMEONE'S HAND...

...LET IT BE MINE

Is that too hot?

Dad, it's ready.

Here.

- You made it? - My sister did.

It's not cooked.

-Yes it is. - I'm telling you, it's not.

What do you mean, not cooked?

Don't put it in the middle

Sir.

What is it, Yasuhiro?

I need 5 million.

What for?

To finance our next play.

When will you give that up? You'll never be an actor.

Would you quit the yakuza?

A man has to live from the moment he's born.

If he's born to nothing, that's where he has to live.

This isn't Paradise we live in.

I have no intention of criticizing your lifestyle.

So don't interfere in mine.

Then stop coming to me only when you need money.

As my birth father...

...what else can you do for me in this world...

...you helped bring me into?

I'd die if that would make you happy.

All you can do for me...

...is give me money.

Isn't that right?

Thank you.

Excuse me...

Mizushima's been killed...

...by the remnants of the first Higuchi Gang.

This will throw off our schedule...

Boss?

Make Muroi the third Shirane leader.

As soon as he's appointed, swear him in as my man.

Since it's come to this...

...perhaps we should swear in Tsuchiya right away as well...

...before anything else happens.

Get started on it right away.

I Will.

Sis?

It's me.

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I sent money to Dad's place. Did you get it?

...OK.

It's not much.

It's been a while.

Yeah...

Yeah...

Me? I'm doing fine.

I know.

I know.

Don't worry, don't worry.

Call you later.

Say hi to Dad.

Boss.

Boss.

The young ones are gathering. It's happening tonight.

Tsuchiya's coming.

- Eat. - I'm not hungry.

Idiot!

Boss... let me do it.

Don't be stupid. It'll be easy.

Watch.

Here I go.

Fool...

Fool!

Kenzaki?

Where's Higuchi?

Isn't he coming?

Isn't Higuchi coming?

What the hell, Torii?

It's Kenzaki again.

Is he psychotic?

Does he want to kill us all...

...to avenge Higuchi?

There's nothing we can do. We can't find him anywhere.

We were about to be sworn into...

...the Tenseikai!

We're doing everything we can to find him.

Well, let's go. The second leader's waiting.

In his coffin.

Here's the deal.

Uchimura from the Kaito Group called me.

Yeah, something like that.

They need your help to catch Kenzaki.

Sakuraba.

Yeah.

Don't take your eyes off our guest.

Yes.

Kenzaki's close by...

...waiting for us...

...to drop our guard.

Fun, huh'?

- Boss. - What?

Can I take a leak?

No.

Huh?

Hey!

What?

What about you?

Sorry, me too.

I can't hold it.

We're begging YOU-

Boss.

No.

Fine, pull over there.

Shall we get some tea?

Boss...

Otomo...

Why are you still with me?

Well...

Well, you loved old man Higuchi.

I guess I just sort of understand how you feel.

You're nuts. Chug that.

This one, too.

I thought somehow it might turn out like this.

The Boss...

"Mr. Kenzaki"...

is only alive when he's out of control.

He'll get fixated on something and he won't know any fear.

What's wrong with that? He sounds like a good man.

But if you're an ordinary guy, you can't keep up with him.

Normal like you?

For courage.

It's ready.

Yeah?

Let's go.

Mr. Kaito had us convince Mr. Shirane to go to a hot spring.

Mizushima and I told the Yokomizo Family...

...where he'd be.

And that's how the Shirane Chairman got shot?

Tsuchiya sent the Higuchi Gang hit squad.

Isn't that right, Mr. Muroi?

That's right.

What a fuck-up!

His capo and his capo's number-two team up to murder him!

Didn't Kaito plan the whole thing?

If we're tied to that son of a bitch, what does that make us?!

Before we talk about us and the Kaito Group...

...we've got an account to get fucking squared away!

Don't we.

Yeah, there's still one traitor left alive.

Mr. Shirane's turning in his grave.

And that bastard Muroi thinks he'll be the third leader...

There's only one thing to do, isn't there?

I'll do it.

Curry! I love it!

The Shirane Executive Committee called...

...about a certain tape.

It makes me want to fucking puke, Hirata!

Higuchi...

...was a fine, upstanding yakuza, and we had him shot.

So...

...what are we going to do about it, Hirata? Huh?

Where are you going?!

We've all been dancing to this damn fool's tune!

Like chickens with our heads cut off!

Excuse me...

The Committee has decided...

...to expel Mr. Hirata... ...from the Family.

And...

...the second Higuchi Gang...

...is suspended until further notice.

Excuse me.

Yeah, I'll come back.

OK.

Sorry, but this is where we part ways.

Things have changed. I'm going back to my old job.

Why?

It looks like Mr. Kaito's plans are all out in the open.

The Executive Committees are real pissed off.

You know what that means. You're no more use here.

The Shirane and Yokomizo...

...will deal with the Tenseikai together.

You can go.

Then I don't have to be polite to you anymore.

So now we do it...

...my way.

...at the sound of the tone.

Boss? You there?

It's Sakuraba.

A few things have happened.

I'm with a guy called Numata.

He's going to kill me at 5 o'clock this afternoon.

Funny, huh?

He won't come.

You abandoned Kenzaki, didn't you?

But he's not the type to stand by while someone gets killed.

Even a dumb fuck like you.

That's why he's stuck.

He'll be here.

Crap.

It's all settled.

Why are you doing this? There's no point.

When I was in middle school, I got a girl pregnant.

So what?

Kenzaki killed my damn son!

So...

...| kill Kenzaki. It's as simple as that.

It'll never work. He won't come.

Oh, shit!

You fucking idiot!

We're both ready to die.

Do you really want to die so bad?

It's not living if it doesn't mean anything.

Shall we go?

Boss!

Get out of here! You'll get killed!

All the more reason to come.

Dumb-ass!

Me, too!

Speak up!

Right!

Idiot!

- Yoshio! - Yes!

- Watch Hitoshi. - I'm coming, too!

He's your brother!

- Otomo! Let's go! - Right!

Boss!

Hitoshi!

I'm sorry!

Shithead!

I'm sorry!

Show some balls!

- I'm sorry! - Forget it.

- I'm sorry! - Forget it!

From here on it's...

Yoshio?

Yoshio!

Boss...

Thank you. Fuck you!

Kenzaki...

...the only one I want is you.

Help him!

What are you waiting for?

Boss... please...

Kill him!

Boss!

Otomo!

- Shit! - Otomo!

Sakuraba...

Take this and go on ahead.

Take the guys with you.

When you go out, go out with a bang!

Go out with a bang!
