KIYATATSU LUMBER

Dad got stabbed?

- Hey! - Who did it?

- Haruo, please. - How is he?

Do something about him, would you?

This isn't the time.

- Where is he? - Alright, this way.

Dad!

Are you alright?

Get it together.

Let me go!

Take your hands off me.

Hey, what's going on?

You bastard.

What the hell?

Listen, you need to sober up.

The doctor told him he has to lie absolutely still.

He needs peace and quiet to rest.

- Dad! - Haruo.

Haruo, is that you?

Shh, the doctor said not to move.

You need total rest.

Dad!

Was it Hoshino?

It was, right?

Hey, did Hoshino do this?

I'm so sorry.

I was there with him.

But he ended up like this.

I don't know what to say.

Gen.

Don't do anything foolish.

Idiot, it's not about you!

Alright, listen up!

Karasawa's just Hoshino's stooge. They're trying to pick a fight with us.

Yeah!

It has to be Hoshino.

You watch, I'll show him who's boss.

Haruo, calm down.

Just let it go.

You're going to shut up and take it?

I'd be a laughing stock among all my friends.

Those friends of yours are yakuza, aren't they?

You think you can settle eve hing with violence.

I can't stand it.

I'll be alright.

Whatever else may happen,

we don't use violence to get our way.

Kiyatatsu is a legitimate business.

If you go causing trouble,

you'll ruin eve hing we worked so hard to build.

How can you lead this family if you can't even see that?

I don't understand you, Dad.

Hoshino thinks they can do whatever they want because you don't fight back.

- Haruo! - What?

I'm no coward.

I'm going to go show Hoshino we mean business.

Come on, let's go!

Stop right there.

You can't just do whatever you want.

The boss said to leave it alone.

Don't you think you'd better listen?

Haruo.

We don't even know for sure that it was Hoshino or Karasawa.

Aren't you jumping the gun?

You'd be playing right into their hands.

They're itching for you to start something.

Hoshino's at the door.

What? He's here?

He's got some nerve!

Haruo!

Behave yourself.

Asajiro.

Yes.

Show him through.

Dad!

Not now.

Keep it together.

Mr Emoto. What an awful thing to happen.

Oh, no.

It's hardly worth you coming just for this, Mr Hoshino.

I'm glad to see you looking so well.

You're not just some upstart like us,

Kiyatatsu is the backbone of our business community.

- If something were to happen to you... - Hoshino.

We have to make sure Nomura Construction

gets the materials for the water purification works.

I'm not going anywhere until I see them finished.

Well said.

And your successor is still a little young.

- How dare you! - Haruo.

This was your doing, wasn't it?

Haruo!

Well, that's quite an accusation.

Do you have any evidence to back that up?

Don't play the innocent.

It's obvious you put Karasawa up to the job.

- Haruo! - I'm sorry about him.

I really am.

Forgive him, please.

In any case, unlike you,

ours is a respectable business.

We trade on our reputation.

Excuse me.

There's a policeman outside. They've caught the guy who did it.

They want us to identify him.

Gen!

Come with me.

No!

I'll go myself.

Boss!

- No, don't! - Boss!

Let me go!

Dammit.

This is him, right?

He's the one that did it.

- Yes, it's him. - Hey, who sent you?

- Tell me! - Who was it?

No one sent me.

My name's Tokumatsu Nakai. I'm a drifter from Kokura.

The boss of Kiyatatsu is a big deal in Osaka.

I thought I could make a name for myself by killing him.

Fool.

Think a good-for-nothing like you could kill me?

I don't know who hired you,

but if you're going to stab me, do it right!

Alright, we'll take him in.

We can interview you later.

Alright?

Thank you.

Let's go.

Dammit.

Seriously, that's it?

- Let me go! - Haruo, not now.

I need a drink.

KARASAWA GROUP

KARASAWA GROUP

Well, this is a mess.

You couldn't even kill one old man?

That's a little harsh, don't you think?

Anyway,

they don't seem to have figured out the link between us and Tokumatsu.

I should hope not!

I put this group together.

In other words, I own you.

I'm not doing this just for fun.

I know.

You want to take out Kiyatatsu

and make a deal with Nomura, right?

Do I look that petty to you?

I have something much bigger in mind.

Have you seen Haruo?

I'm afraid not.

- Thanks. - Of course.

He hasn't been in recently.

These days, he's keen on Hideyakko at Takadaya.

Ah, Haruo?

He went out on a boat with Hideyakko and some of the other geisha.

It seemed like quite the party.

When was that?

I think they left about an hour ago.

I see.

Hopefully, he won't cause too much trouble, then.

How many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing I can do.

Please try to understand.

My father's on his deathbed.

Let me see him before it's too late.

At least let me be there with him at the end.

I'm begging you, please.

Hatsue.

Someone's already bought you for tonight, haven't they?

Yes.

For as long as his money lasts, you're his wife.

You can't do anything at all without his permission.

That's how this world works.

What's all this about?

She wants to go back to Okayama.

We got a telegram saying her father's dying.

I see. You should leave right away, then.

It's human nature to want to see your father

before he dies, prostitute or not.

You'll regret it if you're too late.

Why don't you give in and let her go?

I'd like nothing better.

But it's not up to me.

The boss of the Karasawa Group is coming tonight.

He's already booked her.

- Karasawa has? - Yes.

He comes to see her nearly every day.

He's stuck on her.

Karasawa frightens me. I'm terrified every time he comes.

He'll be here soon.

How long do you need?

Three days.

Alright. I'll buy her for three days.

Charge!

Get yourself some girls!

Hey, Hatsue!

Hatsue?

It's me!

Hey! Hatsue.

What are you doing here?

Karasawa, you must be surprised to find me sitting here waiting.

Don't just stand there, let's have a drink.

What's going on?

You've come all the way here, so I'll give it to you straight.

I've bought Hatsue for the next three days.

- What? - Now, now. Don't be alarmed.

Her father in Okayama is dying. I bought her time to go home.

I know you'd have done the same.

What sort of man would you be if you stopped

the woman you love from seeing her dying father?

I paid for you to save your reputation.

You bastard.

Hey, we're off to the construction site.

Oh, thank you.

- Alright, everyone ready to go? - Yes, Boss!

- Oguri. - Yes?

When you get there, speak to the engineer or Nomura himself.

Tell them the cement's on its way.

The cargo ship from Portugal to Kobe has been delayed.

It'll be here in three days, then we'll get it straight to them.

Are you serious? They threw the cement in the river?

Yes. It was Karasawa's men. I recognized them all.

I'm sorry.

This happened on our watch.

I feel terrible.

What are we going to do?

All our cement is gone.

Those Karasawa bastards! Alright, I'll show them!

No!

Didn't you hear what the boss said?

We don't stoop to violence.

We'll get Nomura his cement.

Alright.

I'll figure something out.

Wait here until you hear from me.

Where are you going?

Hoshino's the only person in Osaka with any cement.

So I'll ask Hoshino.

He's the reason we need cement in the first place.

I know.

But he's the only one who can help us.

Cement? Don't people usually buy that from you?

Yes, but we lost the shipment for Nomura.

So, what's that got to do with me?

- Hey, some water. - Yes, sir.

It's our own fault.

I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm begging you.

We're both in the same business, can't you help us out?

No.

Really?

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I can't stand yakuza.

Every time there's a dispute,

they try to solve it with threats or violence.

Those days are long gone.

Mr Hoshino.

Our boss always tells us that violence has no place in business.

I'm begging you.

You're the only one in Osaka with any cement.

I'm throwing myself on your mercy.

Give it up.

I stick to my principles.

I'll give you as much as you want if you give up being a yakuza.

So you're saying you'd really help us

if only we weren't yakuza?

Is that right?

You're really annoying.

If you don't believe me, then go straight and see.

Mr Hoshino.

I'm going to hold you to that.

Alright, then.

Goodbye.

Put me through to 167.

Hello. Is that Nomura Construction?

Could I speak to your company president, please?

Mr Nomura.

Mr Nomura.

Mr Nomura.

I take full responsibility for what happened today.

I'm terribly sorry.

Mr Nomura, please.

I'm sorry, Mr Nomura is very busy.

I know, but...

Come back tomorrow, alright?

Mr Nomura, I'll be waiting here until you have time to talk.

Dad, aren't you going to hear what he has to say?

Akiko.

Letting your feelings interfere with business just confuses things.

The water purification works

are about more than just our company.

Many people in Osaka are waiting for clean water.

That's why we're working through the rain.

But we didn't get our cement.

And that causes a delay that extends the construction.

No apology fixes that.

Alright?

He's still out there.

Won't you go and see him?

Akiko, life's not that simple.

Dad...

If he carries on like that, he'll make himself ill.

Tell him to come in.

Alright.

- Mr Nomura. - I know why you're here.

Hoshino called this afternoon.

- Hoshino did? - Yes.

He wanted to do a deal to supply cement.

I considered it, but...

In the end,

I decided to wait for you and make up for the delay later.

That's wonderful news, thank you.

Hideyakko, I'll be taking over Kiyatatsu someday.

Right.

Keep it down!

I said, shut up!

That's better.

I'm going to take over from my father.

Then I'll redeem your contract

and build you a fine house.

- Hang on a minute. - Why?

The rules of the company say a son can't succeed his father.

Shut up, fool.

There's no rule that says I can't change the rules.

Any other objections?

Or don't you like the idea of me being your boss?

Oh no, it's nothing like that.

Of course, I'd be delighted if you became the boss.

Stop complaining then, you fool.

- Haruo? - Yes.

Do you really love me?

Of course I do!

I come here every day just to see you.

You'll really make me your wife?

Alright, alright.

I'll be the boss and you'll be my wife.

I'm not going home tonight.

Why are you still here?

Pick up your shamisen and get the party started.

Go on, play that thing like you're on fire.

Alright, watch it burn.

Woosh!

Listen to him!

Haruo, get it together, alright?

Have it your way.

Come on, let's set this place alight.

Mrs Emoto.

I'll take over so you can get some rest.

You should get some rest first.

You've been up all night with him.

Oh, don't worry about me.

The doctor said he's over the worst of it.

Please, go and get some rest.

Well, if you insist.

Alright, then. Thank you.

I'll take you up on that.

Please do.

Sleep well.

Boss.

Asajiro, is that you?

You were awake?

I'm sorry about all this.

It's not like you to be so down in the dumps.

I swore an oath to you as my boss.

It's only natural that I'd be here with you now.

Don't waste time worrying about silly things like that.

Haruo's not back yet, is he?

He's my only son and I waited so long to have him.

I spoiled him rotten.

Fathers can be too softhearted.

Asajiro.

Look after him for me.

Won't you?

Please allow me to introduce myself.

I hope I am not interrupting you.

I have yet to make your acquaintance.

As for where I'm from, I hail from Kawauchi.

I'm still finding my way. My name is Senkichi.

As you see, I'm a poor fellow.

I hope to know you better and humbly request your hospitality.

As you see, I am unwell at present.

It might not be much fun here with a sick person around.

But you're very welcome to stay.

Thank you.

I have one more request to make.

I was hoping to find a game to join.

- Senkichi. - Yes?

Unfortunately, we do not allow gambling here.

Oh, you don't?

All of the other houses do.

In my opinion, the yakuza of today

shouldn't be so petty-minded as to earn their living

from gambling alone.

That's what I believe.

Oh, I see.

Fair enough.

Asajiro, show him to his room.

Yes, Boss.

- Follow me. - Alright, thank you.

Here we are.

- Your name's Asajiro? - Yes.

Your boss is on his last legs, isn't he?

Look, while you're here, don't go poking around in our business.

It's considered bad manners among gamblers.

Right you are.

That's a bad habit of mine, sorry.

Don't worry about it. Here's your room.

It's not much I'm afraid.

Oh, no!

Make yourself at home.

Thank you, I will.

Oh, let me.

So then, if your boss doesn't make it, I suppose you'll be taking over?

I'm sure of it.

I'm not trying to flatter you.

You get to know a lot about people when you travel.

You'll be taking over. I guarantee it.

You just mark my words.

Look...

There I go again, sorry.

Excuse me.

A rickshaw man brought this letter for you.

A rickshaw man?

Alright.

A girl?

I'm sorry to drag you out here.

How did it go with your father?

He passed away two days after I arrived.

Thanks to you, I was able to see him before he died.

What about the funeral?

I see. It's so far away, and you only had three days.

Why were you so kind to a woman like me?

It wasn't "kindness", exactly.

Well, think of it more as a passing fancy.

You don't owe me anything.

Here.

It's not much but I brought them back with me from the country.

I should be getting back.

Thank you.

Just a moment.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you.

Hatsue, you think you can treat me like this?

Bitch.

I thought this might happen.

- In love with her, are you? - Yeah, I am.

What's wrong with that?

She's for sale, isn't she? I'm just the same as you.

How dare you! She's mine.

Oh, really?

Look at her. She's shaking with fear.

It's a poor excuse for a man that reduces a woman to this.

- What did you say? - Shut up!

You're putting me off.

What's it to do with you? Get out here!

Hey!

They're driving me crazy. I'm going to give them what for.

There's nothing to worry about.

Who the hell are you?

Me? Just another paying customer.

Can you keep it down a bit?

Ah, I see. A love triangle.

Well, that's a tough nut to crack.

Hey, buddy.

Want some advice?

You don't want to end up looking silly in front of the girl, right?

You should settle it quickly, like men.

One bullet.

I'll load the gun.

How about it? Take turns. One shot each.

If it fires, you die.

What do you think?

Ought to settle things pretty fast.

Who's first?

Sure about this?

You bet I am. Let's go.

Alright, then.

In that case, you can go first.

No, stop it!

Don't do this because of me.

Stop it!

Get behind me.

- Don't! - Stay back.

Alright.

Hand it over.

I suspected as much.

You bastard! You haven't heard the last of this!

Dammit! Out of my way.

Mr Karasawa...

Alright, nothing to see here.

Sorry for the intrusion.

It's alright, now.

We're alright. It's over.

It's alright.

We're alright, now.

I love you.

Hatsue.

Hatsue.

The kindness you showed me,

was it really just a passing fancy?

My father

loved gambling more than anything else.

He was a useless man who brought my mother only trouble.

When I heard that he was dying,

I was in prison.

He was a terrible father, but still, I wanted to see him.

There was nothing I could do, though.

So that's why you helped me?

I knew how you felt.

Asajiro.

Tomorrow, I'll be a prostitute who's bought and sold for money.

Karasawa's plaything.

Just a toy with no say at all.

Asajiro.

Do you think prostitutes are dirty? Do you think

it's wrong for a prostitute to fall in love?

Hatsue.

It's your heart that matters, not your body.

You're a pure woman.

Asajiro.

Alright, Hatsue.

- I have to go now. - No.

Don't go.

My boss was stabbed. His life is hanging in the balance.

I can't stay out all night.

- Don't leave me. - Please try to understand.

- No. - Hatsue, please.

Make me forget eve hing.

Hatsue.

I love you.

It's the boss, he...

Boss...

The seventh day memorial service is now concluded.

He's a great loss to us all.

Mrs Emoto will now discuss the future of the Kiyatatsu family.

I have also offered my advice,

and will do all I can to support her.

My husband did not leave any final words about the future.

So please allow me to speak on his behalf.

As for the successor of the Kiyatatsu family,

I should like to ask Asajiro.

I object.

It was my father who made Kiyatatsu what it is today.

He did it all himself.

Before we just sold timber.

He expanded the business to sell bricks, cement, and gravel.

Do you think Asajiro is capable of any of that?

That's enough.

No, I've plenty more to say.

Asajiro, where were you when my father died?

You were out all night.

You were his right-hand man.

But you left him on his deathbed and didn't come home till morning.

Can you call him an honorable man?

A man like him taking over would ruin Kiyatatsu's reputation.

Dad would never agree to this!

Haruo! That's enough.

I'm speaking on your father's behalf.

She's right, Haruo.

Please try to understand.

It makes no sense to me.

Was it really such an easy decision?

You haven't thought it through.

If that's the way you want it, then I'll have to do things my way.

- Haruo! - Haruo!

What's wrong with a son taking what belonged to his father?

What are you going to do?

Let's talk this out.

Alright, Haruo. What'll it be?

Haruo.

If you don't have the guts to come at me,

then work for the family.

There's no point being angry with me, you've got to shape up.

Do you hear me?

It's up to you, I'll do whatever you say.

Mrs Emoto.

I accept your kind offer to take over the company.

However,

I'll be the boss in name only.

The company that the boss built up

should be run by his son, Haruo.

But in return, you have to become an upstanding member of society.

You have to be respectable.

Well, it may be presumptuous of me.

But I hope you can grant my request.

Well said, Kikuchi.

I understand now.

You have Kiyatatsu's future at heart.

Oh, no, I haven't thought that far ahead.

Mrs Emoto, what do you think?

Asajiro, Kiyatatsu is yours.

Please do with it as you wish.

I see. Thank you, Mrs Emoto.

Asajiro.

Haruo.

I'm sorry I hit you.

Asajiro.

Stay with us, please.

Kiyatatsu is your home.

It's only natural that you stay.

No, you're wrong.

The boss wanted to rebuild the company for a new age.

A yakuza like me will just be in the way.

As long as I'm around, you can't settle

the dispute with Hoshino and Karasawa.

I want you to make Kiyatatsu a legitimate, respectable company.

Asajiro.

Please don't go.

Stay with us.

Haruo.

Do you see this?

No matter what I do, there's no getting rid of it.

Right?

Haruo.

I'll be the boss of the Kiyatatsu yakuza.

But you have to become respectable and protect the company.

Alright, Haruo?

I'm counting on you.

Asajiro.

Haruo.

Hatsue, since when did you lose the power of speech?

You don't have to speak to me, but remember this.

If you won't let me buy you, Asajiro's a dead man.

His appointment ceremony

will be a bloodbath.

Mr Karasawa.

Help me out here, won't you? That ought to be enough.

Give me her contract.

Alright, here you are.

Thanks. I'll be back tonight.

See you later.

Hatsue, come back.

Were you making this for Asajiro?

Yes.

Hatsue, listen.

If you left Karasawa for Asajiro,

do you think Karasawa would just let you go quietly?

He said it himself, didn't he? Asajiro would be as good as dead.

Do you understand?

If you really love him, then you need to think very carefully.

Right?

If I were you, I think I'd leave him.

Please.

I want to see him one last time.

Let me see him, please.

Asajiro.

- Hold me. Don't let me go. - Hatsue.

Take me away with you, please.

Hatsue.

I came here to say goodbye.

But I can't.

Steal me away.

I can't.

Hatsue, I can't.

Karasawa bought my contract.

Won't you help me?

I'm sorry. I really am.

Hatsue?

It happened the night we were together.

The boss died while I was with you.

Do you see?

I'm no longer the man I was.

I'm the new Kiyatatsu boss. My duty lies there, now.

I'm no longer the Asajiro Kikuchi you once knew.

Do you understand?

I'm a foolish man.

But I don't know how to live any other way.

Asajiro...

Hatsue.

My name is Yutaro Nomura.

We will now begin the succession ceremony.

Succeeding the late boss Fukuichi Emoto,

the new leader of Kiyatatsu will be

Asajiro Kikuchi.

I have been asked to act

as the master of ceremonies for this happy occasion.

There are many forms the ceremony may take.

I shall be conducting it in the Kawakatsu style.

Furthermore, this will be the first and last time

that I shall conduct such a ceremony.

If you have to do it, summon all your courage

bet your life on being the boss.

Why does the word "duty"

feel so heavy to bear?

Her tears fall as she clings to your sleeve

but the law of our society says you must part from her.

Ah, this life is a living hell.

The ceremony is now concluded.

The new boss will now take his place.

A round of applause.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

- Shall we? - Alright.

Hey! It's Kiyatatsu!

Calm down.

I'm not here for a fight.

Why are you here, then?

I want to introduce myself as the new head of Kiyatatsu.

I'd like to see Mr Hoshino.

Well, hello. The new head of Kiyatatsu.

I appreciate you coming to introduce yourself.

Come on through.

What have you got to say?

Mr Hoshino.

As promised, Kiyatatsu is no longer a yakuza organization.

That's to say,

it's now a respectable company known as Emoto Construction Materials,

which has no connection with me or Kiyatatsu.

I see.

You think that young man is capable of running a company?

I do.

However, he is young and inexperienced.

Mr Hoshino, I hope that you'll be able to help guide him.

Of course, but at the end of the day, we're competitors, aren't we?

This business is pretty cutthroat.

That goes without saying.

If he's not up to the job, then he'll lose.

So, Mr Hoshino.

I fulfilled my promise to you.

We're both respectable now. You can help us out, can't you?

Haruo's starting out on his own. I hope you'll look after him.

Our late boss hated violence,

so we did nothing even when he was stabbed to death.

We've been putting up with it when people call us cowards.

Mr Hoshino.

You'll help us out, won't you?

What do you say?

Alright. I'll help you.

Let's do it your way.

Good. I hope I have your solemn word.

Kikuchi.

Unfortunately, something's come up and I can't go myself.

Can you go to Kobe and oversee the construction of the new jetty?

I'm sorry, but...

There's no need to worry about me.

I'll stay here with Haruo.

International trade will be increasingly important.

There's not much competition here on these small islands.

Constructing jetties is essential work for creating new access routes to Japan.

Our reputation rests on this project. Will you go for us?

Mr Nomura.

I really need your help right now.

What do you say?

You should go.

I'll have made something of myself by the time you get back.

Haruo.

Pile them up here.

Those are for Marushita.

Hurry it up, alright.

Hey, that's the custom order for Nomura!

Be careful with that. Thank you!

Nomura's order's ready.

Omori, where are you?

There's more where that came from if eve hing goes to plan, alright?

- Don't mess this up. - Got it.

Off you go, then.

I'm counting on you.

Hey, look at this!

You call this cement?

What the hell is this?

It's just rocks.

This isn't right.

I found it in the cement you sent yesterday.

What's going on?

Ah, Mr Emoto. Do you think it's acceptable

to sell counterfeit goods like this?

What do you mean?

See for yourself.

Eve hing's going to plan.

It's kicking off in there right now.

Look at this.

How did this happen?

Is this how you repay Nomura's kindness?

Just a second.

Let me look into this.

Look into it? You've got some nerve.

- What? - Leave it.

Are you saying we sent this to you knowingly?

Yeah.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

What's all this?

I was just passing by when I heard the commotion.

Take a look at this.

We've been dealing with them for years and then they went and did this to us!

Oh my, that's awful.

How could they send you something like this?

It's a disgrace to our industry.

Ungrateful bastards.

- Sorry. - I sincerely apologize.

I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you through my lack of supervision.

We'll exchange it right away.

You think you can settle this with a replacement?

As the foreman, I'm not happy to have poor quality products on site.

I can't, in good conscience, allow it.

I understand why you're upset.

But this won't happen again.

Please forgive us just this once.

- Please. - No.

I'll do whatever it takes to make it right.

It won't happen again. Please forgive us just this time.

Please.

I'm begging you.

Please.

NOMURA CONSTRUCTION

Asajiro.

Do you have a minute?

I came here with you because I like you,

but working doesn't really suit me.

What's all this now, Senkichi?

Don't laugh, but I've got a girl in Osaka.

I really miss her.

She'll be so happy to see me again.

Senkichi, you're a guest here. You can leave whenever you please.

I knew you'd say that!

- Well, then. I'll be off. - Don't do anything foolish, will you?

Don't you worry.

You can have this, if it makes you feel better.

Oh! Never mind. See you.

Tell Haruo I said hello.

Sure, I'll do that.

Welcome back.

Hey, come back here!

Hatsue, listen...

It's dangerous here. You should leave.

- I have to talk to you. - Go, please.

Is this your place?

Let's go in. I have to tell you something.

Hatsue, come back to Kobe with me.

- Kobe? - Asajiro's there.

I know how he feels.

He never says anything.

But he can't stop thinking about you.

You'll come, won't you?

Come on.

You don't mean to carry on living with a lowlife like Karasawa, do you?

- I'm already dead. - No, you're not.

I died the moment I parted with Asajiro.

How can you be dead? You're standing right here.

Listen to me.

You're alive as long as you keep breathing, right?

Or have you given up on Asajiro?

Leave me alone, please.

Hatsue.

You don't have to pretend, alright?

You won't fool me.

I see through you.

Think about it.

You love each other.

It's absurd that you can't be together.

He was the first person who showed me

how wonderful falling in love could be.

He made me feel as if even a woman like me

could dream of happiness.

I couldn't forget him even if I wanted to.

I'm dead inside.

I live with Karasawa to keep Asajiro safe from harm.

No matter how much I love him,

there's nothing else I can do for him now.

How foolish.

I'm such a foolish woman.

Shouldn't we tell Asajiro?

- Tell him what? - About Hoshino.

And about Karasawa too.

No, don't.

I want to sort it out on my own.

I've already written Asajiro a letter.

Ah, hello!

Senkichi!

If it isn't Haruo!

Well, look at you. Running the company.

Don't you look great.

- What about you, alright? - Yeah, not too bad.

If only Asajiro could see you now.

- How is he doing? - Oh, he's fine.

Will you be staying long?

Well, I'm going to be busy, if you see what I mean.

Mr Emoto, your mother's asking for you.

- Alright, thank you. - Bye.

What is it?

Haruo.

A letter came for you just now.

Oh?

It's from a geisha.

A geisha?

Her name's Hideyakko.

She wants to see me tonight.

This Hideyakko, are you in love with her?

Yes.

Haruo.

I trust you the way you are now.

It's alright to blow off steam every once in a while.

Oh, Haruo!

Here she is.

How have you been?

Fine, what about you?

Oh, not so good.

Goodness me, it's hot, isn't it?

This is Senkichi.

Hello.

Let me borrow Haruo for a moment.

Can't we talk here?

Absolutely not. Come on.

Haruo.

You're one lucky guy.

Hideyakko, find me a nice girl too.

Sorry, I've got my hands full with Haruo right now.

Come on, let's go.

Alright, I'll be back soon.

I see how it is.

Come on, you know each other, right?

Ah, Mr Emoto.

Come and join us.

Sit down.

Hideyakko.

You've been fooling around with this kid, huh?

Don't tease me.

Come on, over here.

Sit yourself down.

Don't insult our guest.

Sorry.

I could never leave you, could I?

Even if you try to break up with me, I won't ever let you go.

Hideyakko.

You're with him?

Mr Emoto.

Hideyakko's mine.

You used her to lure me here.

You're beginning to see the light.

Haruo.

Who the hell are you?

Sorry to intrude.

This place is really boring. Let's go get a drink somewhere else.

Hey.

Go, if that's what you want. He's staying here.

I don't think so.

I'm here to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble.

The girls can go.

Want to die?

You're not much fun, are you? Come on, let's go.

Mr Emoto.

I thought you said you were respectable?

Why are you here with this yakuza?

Mr Kikuchi made me a promise.

Senkichi, I'll settle this myself.

- Let me handle it. - Haruo.

I'd expect no less of you.

Let's get straight to the point.

Will you cancel your deal with Nomura Construction?

No.

Well, then. I suppose I have no choice.

Haruo, get out of here!

Go, now!

Haruo!

Stop it!

Haruo, run! Get out of here!

Haruo.

Haruo!

Get out of here, now! Go!

Think I'm going to let you go?

You try and run, if you think you can.

- Kurome! - Yes, Boss.

What about the kid?

Did you get him?

Idiot!

You're taking the blame.

Boss!

There's a telegram from Osaka.

Alright, thank you.

Thank you. Have a good day.

Boss...

They killed Senkichi.

Haruo is badly injured.

It must be Karasawa.

No one else would do this.

- Haruo. - Hey!

What happened?

Haruo!

Boss.

Boss.

You all know what's going on?

Yes.

Are you ready to risk your lives?

Why would you even ask?

We've always been ready to risk our lives for you.

That's right.

Thank you.

Alright.

I'm going to Osaka alone.

But we just said we'd come.

I need you to risk your lives to protect the site.

Don't be ridiculous. You can't go alone!

Come on, let's go to Osaka!

No.

Weren't you listening?

I need you to take care of the site while I'm away.

Listen to me.

I'm grateful for your concern.

EMOTO CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

I'm the one that killed him.

It's my fault he died.

How can I face Asajiro?

I was too young to take over.

I couldn't get anything right, let alone run the company.

It was stupid to try.

Haruo.

Asajiro thought you could do it.

I did too, that's why I sent him to Kobe.

Haruo, where's your courage?

Your fighting spirit.

It takes courage to see things through.

You're at a crossroads.

A man should stand tall.

When they knock you down, get back up and fight.

Haruo, he's right. Listen to him.

Right, Haruo?

Come on Haruo, let's get them.

Haruo.

If you die once, you'll never die again.

Don't cry for me in the falling rain of night.

I have to do this my own way

as the new boss.

Mr Hoshino.

There are a lot of policemen outside.

Nomura must have sent them.

Is he avoiding the fight?

Even if Asajiro comes back from Kobe, what can he do?

We've got to trick him into attacking us first.

Or should we just attack them anyway?

No.

We need to take out Nomura.

He has to die.

Once he's out of the picture,

I'll control all the construction work in Osaka.

Mr Hoshino!

Asajiro!

Get out of the way!

Move.

Alright, you're coming with me.

THE END
