DIRECTED BY SADAO NAKAJIMA
SPRING, 1967
Abebo is a conglomerate
with Abebo Fabrics and Abebo Corporation at its center.
Your boss slept with my wife.
There's no point talking to underlings like you.
Put the boss on. Get him now.
Who is this?
Shut up and fetch your sleazy boss.
You want me to take this public?
CLUB KAYO
I was taken there after dining with the union leaders.
Her name was Yuka.
She came on to me, so I just went along with it.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think she was a yakuza honey trap.
I'm ashamed of myself.
There's no way you could have known.
But we need to nip this in the bud.
Can we pay them off?
Well, yes, but...
Yesterday they asked for three million yen,
but today they put it up to five.
That's how they operate.
Even if we pay them the five million, that won't be the end of it.
We need to resolve this in a way that won't come back to bite us.
What do you suggest?
NAKAJIMA GROUP
The Nakajima Group's headquarters
sit inconspicuously among other offices near Nakanoshima in Osaka.
Mr. Shimabara, this is our boss.
Boss, this is Mr. Shimabara.
He's been the director at Abebo since the old boss' time.
My name's Sakura.
I've heard good things about you from Kataoka.
Take a seat.
My name is Zenbei Shimabara.
I apologize for bothering you with such a trivial matter.
So you're being extorted by a man named Uchida, is that right?
What else do you know about him?
Well, he's very cautious and hasn't let anything slip.
He called the president at home last night.
We're in a real bind.
For the time being,
I've brought five million yen.
Please use it however you see fit.
I don't need your money.
Oh?
Aside from reimbursing us for any expenses incurred, of course.
Yes, of course.
Well then, please think of this five million as a good will gesture.
I don't need one of those, either.
Mr. Shimabara,
if I were to accept that money,
then you'd just be paying us off instead of paying them.
It makes the Nakajima Group look cheap.
Uchida's with the Kyowa clan.
The boss, Gensho Bun, is particularly fond of him.
He lives with a woman in Shiidera.
Just a street gang?
No, there are about 500 of them.
A regular yakuza outfit, then.
They've caused trouble with our guys there too.
It's not much, but please have something to eat.
- Oh, thank you. - Thanks.
Ah, these are from Sarashina on the corner, aren't they?
I love their kitsune udon.
Oh, you're having yours plain?
The doctor said he's got high blood pressure.
You've been to the doctor?
I practically had to drag him.
It's because he eats so much grilled offal.
Look,
you can't eat offal all the time.
What's it called again?
Oh yeah, cholesterol. Builds up like a poison.
Chief,
the Uchida thing we were talking about before.
Sakoda, take care of it.
Alright.
Do it properly. No loose ends.
Got him!
This thing's huge!
Alright, where are you?
Aha!
Ken!
This is Kuroe.
Hi.
This is Ken Miyazono.
He got out of juvie at New Year. Now he's training to be a chef.
What did you do?
I got two years for assault and extortion.
You want into the gang, right?
Yes!
Alright, then. Find these guys.
The Kyowa boss and one of his executives.
- A gang dispute? - Yeah.
These jokers have been hassling the Nakajima Group.
Show them who's boss, okay?
Yes, sir.
This Uchida guy usually drinks in Minami.
Make sure it gets done.
Get them before someone else does.
Yes, sir! Ah, actually...
Can he come too?
His name's Yoshio Takeda.
He's from back home in Awaji. He's like a brother to me.
He just got here yesterday.
His mom asked me to look out for him, so please let him come.
Yoshio, don't be rude.
Okay, no problem.
But, listen.
A true yakuza keeps his trap shut even if he's caught, alright?
Bear that in mind.
- Hey. - Yeah?
I really want a diamond watch.
Yuka.
Diamond watches or cars or whatever, you can have anything you want.
Thanks to you, we've got our hands on a magic money tree called Abebo.
Pay up!
We've found Uchida. Bun's with him too.
Yeah, there's five or six of them.
They're leaving.
Oh no, they're leaving the club.
Idiot! Go after them.
Alright.
Yoshio, come on. I said, let's go.
Yoshio, hail a cab.
There aren't any.
Shit!
What the hell, kid?
I'm with the Sakoda Group.
Uchida, I'm coming for you!
Drive!
Gall an ambulance!
Poor kid.
Ken...
Let me go, Ken.
Please, let me go.
I'm begging you, please.
Where's the boss?
How should I know?
Let me go!
This is the pay off from Abe.
Take it and stamp with your thumb.
Who are you?
Who cares? Just give us your thumbprint.
I'm going to tell my man all about this.
Fine, go right ahead.
Fuck you, bastards!
Sakoda.
What the hell's going on?
Did I do something to offend you?
Tell me.
One of your guys stepped out of line.
A young guy on our side got killed.
Uchida, is this true?
Look, we had no choice.
We didn't do anything.
They started it.
Please, they're after me.
Drink?
LATE NIGHT YAKUZA SHOOT-OUT
NAKAJIMA GROUP CONFESSES TO KILLING OF THREE KYOWA MEN
BLOODY REVENGE
So this won't come back to bite us, huh?
There was no need for all this.
The police are bound to look into the Nakajima Group.
What are we going to do if they leak our names?
No need to worry about that.
They'll never give our names up.
Are you sure we can trust them? They're yakuza.
That's why we can trust them.
This is how they make their money.
So what you're saying is,
we're going to have to pay huge amounts of money to keep them quiet.
I think I'm finally beginning to see how all this works.
They did this on purpose to push the price up.
Exactly.
How can you sit there so calmly?
What's this going to cost us?
About a hundred million yen, I should think.
A hundred million?
Mr. Abe, this incident has opened my eyes
to how powerful and frightening the Nakajima Group really are.
I think that they may be very useful to us in the future.
Yes, but isn't this all quite dangerous?
They're no ordinary corporate racketeers.
Mr. Abe,
the pre-war conglomerates are the biggest obstacle to our success.
We have no prospect of progress by ordinary means.
Leave the Nakajima Group to me.
This is the receipt for the payoff we gave the woman.
Please check it over.
Thank you.
Well, then.
Come on, we're leaving.
Mr. Sakura, could you take a look at this?
I selected a list of the top 100 companies
we do business with.
Seventy of them are ranked within the top 100 or 200
of the Osaka Securities Exchange.
Mr. Sakura, I think it would be a good idea to have a kind of forum
for the Nakajima Group to get to know these 100 companies.
What do you think?
We could charge each firm a membership fee
of a hundred thousand yen a month, or 1.2 million a year.
Altogether that comes to 120 million a year in total for us.
Well, we'll care of all the details.
All we ask of you is that you open an account to receive the money.
Mr. Sakura.
It'll be just like a fan club of the kind celebrities have.
Please take some time to think it over.
The yakuza is a pyramid-shaped organization of many different groups.
Maintaining and regulating it is therefore very difficult.
The Nakajima Group is governed by a committee
made up of 15 of the highest-ranking executives.
But the authority and responsibility of the second-in-command is absolute.
So, we'll be putting up this sign
at headquarters from now on.
Please bear that in mind.
"Naniwa Institute of Politics and Economics"?
What does that mean?
Well...
The chief thinks we should
start moving into the financial world.
Matsueda is going to be the boss' right-hand man
and oversee this new institute.
So we'll be counting on him.
Wow, that's quite a promotion.
Give it all you've got, okay?
Thank you.
Matsueda went to university, didn't he? I'm sure he'll do a good job.
Chief,
being the boss' right-hand man
means being both a secretary and a bodyguard.
It's a heavy responsibility. I'm not criticizing Matsueda, but...
shouldn't this have been brought up at the committee level?
Come on, there's no need for that. This was an order from the boss.
No!
I have something to say to the chief.
What the hell was all that stuff with Abebo?
Why are we being kept out of the loop?
Yeah, whatever happens we're always ready
to lay down our lives.
Hey, are you trying to give orders to the chief?
No, it's just an opinion. You keep out of this.
Try shedding some blood first if you're going to run your mouth off.
How dare you!
Calm down.
There's no point arguing amongst ourselves.
In the last few years, it's been one misstep after another
with Hiroshima, Kyushu, and Santo.
HQ didn't have a plan either, but now everything's taking shape.
Japan's a big place.
The war is only just beginning.
Sakura kept his private life as a family man completely separate
from that of being the boss of the Nakajima Group.
Toshiko, what's wrong?
You don't seem very happy.
It's alright. I'm fine.
She and lchinomiya aren't getting along.
His parents found out about you and they don't like it.
Makiko, that's enough.
What? There's no point hiding it.
It's the truth.
What did lchinomiya say?
He told me not to worry about it.
But Dad,
I really feel like they won't accept me.
He's their only son.
So his parents are really picky.
Maybe I should go and visit them.
No, lchinomiya said to leave it to him.
Ah, this is so annoying!
If I met someone who badmouthed Dad,
I'd smash their face in even if it was my boyriend's parents.
Goodness me.
They really get on my nerves.
The papers and the police always talk shit about Dad too.
That's enough!
Dad, can I borrow the car?
Gall a taxi.
Alright then, go ahead.
Merci, Papa.
All she does is party all night.
You're far too soft on her.
Can someone take me to Umeda?
Right away, miss.
I want you.
Go on.
But don't forget she's the boss' daughter.
Right.
You're Higure, right?
What's your first name?
Michio.
"Michio Higure"?
Sounds romantic.
Michio, let's go for a drive.
Take me to the docks.
We're both consenting adults!
Creeps.
Hey, Michio.
Let's go to a hotel.
Okay?
Come on.
I can barely control myself.
Let's go.
No, Miss, we should stop now.
Dr Ichinomiya, someone's here to see you.
Please make your way to the office.
- Who is it? - The gentlemen over there.
I'm lchinomiya.
Oh, my name's Sakura.
I'm sorry to drop in out of the blue.
Oh, no. That's fine.
It's nice to meet you.
Likewise. Thank you for being so good to Toshiko.
I'm sorry I didn't come sooner.
That's alright.
Are you free right now? We could have lunch somewhere.
Thank you, but I have an operation at 1pm.
There's no time to go out.
But we could go to the canteen, if you like?
Don't expect too much.
Are these free?
Take a seat.
- Lunch set okay? - Yes.
Toshiko used to work in the pharmacy here.
That's when she met him.
He seems nice.
He's wasted as a doctor.
Ah, thank you.
Well, here you go.
It looks lovely.
It's really good.
You're just being polite, but thanks.
No, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.
I came here today to talk about Toshiko.
I heard your parents are against the marriage because of me.
I don't know if Toshiko would be happy
with a marriage like that.
With all due respect, that's between Toshiko and me.
I'm Toshiko's father.
She's my daughter and she means the world to me.
Mr. Sakura, I'll never marry anyone else but Toshiko.
I've set my heart on her.
As long as we can be happy together,
I'm sure my parents will be happy for us too.
I'm just an ordinary man,
but I'd never betray you or Toshiko.
Believe me.
Oh, hello. I'm sorry to drop in unannounced.
This is my daughter, Toshiko.
Lovely to meet you. My name's Toshiko.
Thank you so much for this.
My name's Abe. Please, have a seat.
This is my wife, Mitsu.
My, what a lovely young woman.
The thing is,
my daughter is about to be married to a young doctor named lchinomiya.
I was hoping you might be willing to act as the go-between at the wedding.
Of course, she's your daughter.
We'd be very happy to.
Mitsu, why don't you show this young lady the garden?
Toshiko, would you like to come with me?
What's all this about?
Well, you see...
- She's Sakura's daughter. - Sakura's?
Yes. Sakura asked me to pose as her father.
It seems the groom's parents aren't happy
about the idea of him marrying a yakuza's daughter.
Well, that's understandable.
It would give any parent pause for thought.
Sakura said it didn't matter if he couldn't go to the wedding.
When it comes to his daughter, he's more frightened than anyone else.
It's hypocritical, though.
He'll kill a man without a second thought,
but he wants his daughter to marry into money.
Well, actually the thing is,
Sakura found her in the ruins of a bombed-out house.
Toshiko's a war orphan he took in.
That young woman?
He has another daughter too.
It seems she's the daughter of a drifter whose name he never knew.
So by "drifter" you mean like a yakuza in a play?
They both had unhappy origins.
Tatsumi told me Sakura and his wife
decided not to have children of their own,
so they could raise the two girls.
Michio, swear you'll never say we should break up again.
Miss, I...
I don't know what to do.
- Miss... - What's the problem?
I'm just a girl.
It's nothing to do with my father. I'm just an ordinary girl.
Miss, will you...
Will you die with me?
I will.
I'll die with you.
I don't care if I die as long as I'm with you.
GIFU AUTUMN, 1967
YANAGASE SHOPPING ARCADE
You need to rest or you'll get a fever.
I don't care.
Hey, you're really good.
I lost my virginity to a tattooist.
So the names on your back, they're for his kids?
No, I don't know whose kids they were.
I had two abortions, so I got two tattoos.
Maybe I should get a name tattooed too.
Whose?
My friend's.
Crazy fool.
He tried too hard, and...
Hello, baby
I'm a fool too
Hey, take a look at this.
GIFU, MIURA GROUP OFFICE
This is a letter of authorization
from Abebo director Shimabara and Ogaki Sandpaper's Morimoto.
Since last autumn,
Ogaki Sandpaper has been on the verge of bankruptcy.
At the present moment,
they've begun restructuring in preparation for a merger.
Three years ago, we were experiencing some cash flow issues.
We borrowed 10 million yen from Miura Trading in Gifu
at a monthly interest rate of 10%.
A year later, we still couldn't pay them back.
They agreed to extend by two years in return for a promissory note.
However,
they wanted the note made out
for 300 million, which is four times the legal amount.
What's the deadline for repayment?
The note was issued by Bank of Nagoya with a date of 30th November.
If the promissory note isn't satisfied,
they'll try to repossess Ogaki's factory.
Mr. Tatsumi,
we've already raised some of the money to buy back the promissory note.
We have one hundred million yen.
So, how much are you offering to take it off our hands?
Well, now, you see...
How about 10 million?
- Ten million? - Yes.
You must be joking.
It's worth 300 million.
That's as may be, but if it bounces, it's worth nothing at all.
If we can't find a solution,
Abebo will pull out of the Ogaki restructuring plan.
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Get out of here.
Come on, Miura.
Sometimes you have to take a loss to win.
We'll both have to give a little.
Give it a rest.
Listen.
Ten million only pays us back for the amount we lent.
I'll tell you this now.
The Nakajima Group holds no sway east of Osaka.
Leave now while you can.
Wouldn't it be better to at least recoup the original amount?
Take the hint!
Calm down, buddy.
Bye, then.
Whatever happens, don't say I didn't warn you.
ICHINOMIYA-SHIMABARA WEDDING RECEPTION
Toshiko, you look beautiful.
Dad,
Mom,
thank you...
for everything...
all these years.
This is a day for happiness.
Don't cry, will you?
He's right, Toshiko.
You'll ruin your makeup.
Thank you.
GIFU, MIURA GROUP GAMBLING HALL
Fifty.
Hey, you can't keep placing bets like that.
Can’t you make up the difference?
Oh, okay.
In that case,
I'll have to stake this crest.
Stop messing us around.
If you don't have the money, we can issue an IOU.
- Who the hell are you? - Me?
Ryutaro Ueki, lower-ranking member of the Miura Group.
Huh? A lower-ranking member?
A lower-ranking member of the Miura Group
is mocking the Nakajima crest?
Look, are you trying to pick a fight?
Shut the hell up, bozo.
I don't care if you're with Nakajima or whoever.
We're the Miura Group in Gifu.
Fuck around with us and you won't like what you find out.
- Shitty country boy. - How dare you!
After him, now!
Ah, Mr. Ono, thank you for coming.
Congratulations.
You must be happy with such a fine son-in-law.
All your hard work has paid off.
Is that Ono, deputy leader of the Political Democratic Party?
Looks like it.
And next to him, that's Naramoto, the deputy minister for transport.
- They both have ties to Sakura? - Yes, well...
Mr. Oyama.
Thank you so much for coming. I didn't think you'd make it.
Well, your name wasn't on the invitation so I overlooked it.
Once I realized, I came straight over. Congratulations.
Thank you.
And to you too, Mrs. Sakura.
It must be difficult for you having to attend
the wedding in secret.
I was deeply moved.
Thank you for your kind words.
Help!
- Someone, help! - Get out of here!
Go now, or I kill her.
Hello, Tatsumi speaking.
A Miura punk killed one of Miyanoura's young guys.
Just now.
HQ got a call from the Gifu police.
What do you think?
It's earlier than we planned, but should we go to war now?
Alright. Do it.
A toast to the bride and groom.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Okay, call the young guys.
Oh, is that so? Okay.
Is five million alright?
Right. I'll have it sent over to Sakoda's place.
Nakajima's finally moving east.
I heard they're going to Hawaii on their honeymoon.
- Yes. - Mrs. Tatsumi?
lmagawa of the Himeji Group, how much condolence money?
A hundred thousand should be enough, right?
Yeah.
Hawaii, how lovely.
The island of passion and everlasting summer.
The perfect place for a honeymoon.
Where did you two go?
We didn't even have a wedding, let alone a honeymoon.
- Really? - We just got together.
We didn't even have anything to wear.
Kiyo, what do you say? Shall we go for a walk?
A walk?
We could see a movie and eat at the hotel restaurant?
- The two of us? - Who else?
Are you joking?
What's got into you tonight?
Don't be like that.
You should go out once in a while too.
I can take care of this.
Don't be so silly.
How could I go out on a date with us in the red like this?
The baseball season's almost over.
We can make up the shortfall through horse racing.
Okay, then.
Here.
No offal, okay?
Alright, I know.
Oh, what a surprise.
What's up?
I'm sorry to come so late.
What's wrong?
Murata said he saw Higure
leaving a hotel in Sannomiya with the boss' daughter.
What the hell are you playing at?
I'm terribly sorry. I accept full responsibility.
Fool!
You're not just some punk.
Put an end to it, personally.
Matsueda.
What's done is done. Let's go have a chat.
Please, you have to believe me. I never wanted to.
She practically dragged me there.
Matsueda!
Matsueda, please. You get it, right?
She sleeps with everyone.
She told me she'd kill herself. What was I supposed to do?
Please! I'll never see her again.
I'm begging you, please.
You'll let me off this time, right?
GIFU RAILWAY HOTEL
Who is it?
I'm here on business.
Who are you?
Is Mr. Miura there?
Don't open it!
Get out of here!
I'll shoot.
Miura,
that's not much of a welcome, is it?
We came all this way.
Miura, thanks for the other day.
Nice to see you again.
About that promissory note.
This time we're offering you
ten million, plus the life of one of your young men.
Let me have the note, won't you?
You'll kill me as soon as you've got it.
I know how this works.
No way I'm giving it to you. Absolutely not.
Katsunosuke!
Bastards!
Leave her alone. I'm begging you.
That man there is Tsunekichi Sakoda.
He won't hesitate to blow her away.
It's in a safety deposit box at the Bank of Nagoya.
The Nagara branch.
You better not be lying.
It's the truth.
Thank you very much, sir.
Oh, hello.
Hey!
Hey!
Can you let me out the back way?
I'm being followed.
- What happened? - Hurry, please.
My life depends on it.
- I'll call the police. - Thanks.
Really? That's great!
KINJO CLAN, ATSUTA You've done well.
No, the west's too dangerous. Go east.
I'm going to meet Masui of the Kinjo clan in Atami.
Masae, is that you? I'm going to Tokoen in Atami.
No, don't do that.
There's no telling what they'll do if you stay there.
Miura, the chairman seems quite taken with you.
He said you had real guts.
You handled it really well considering who you were up against.
I have a lot of experience with crafty old bastards,
so I could handle a few Nakajima goons no problem.
What's Tatsumi going to do now?
It'll be embarrassing for him with Abebo if the promissory note bounces.
Maybe he's planning to offer up his head instead of the three hundred million.
I'm leaving first thing tomorrow, so you can stay here for a while.
I'll leave a few guys behind, just in case.
Thank you for going to all this trouble.
- Well, then. - Good night.
Masae?
Sorry I stayed out so late.
I couldn't get away.
Are you asleep?
Hey.
Listen.
Wake up.
Daddy's home.
Masae.
Masae?
Who did this?
What happened?
This grotesque event became a major news story.
The police suspected a vendetta or the act of a crazed fetishist,
but they couldn't come up with a convincing suspect.
In the New Year, Ryutaro Ueki was named as the new leader of the Miura Group.
The promissory note, which had been safely resting in the safety deposit box,
was handed over to Kataoka of the Nakajima Group
in exchange for 10 million yen in cash.
1968
That year, the Nakajima Group
expanded eastward from Kinki with incredible force.
It was Sakoda and his guys
who led the way as Nakajima's shook troops.
As they continued to move eastward through the country,
the resistance from Kinjo-affiliated groups intensified.
The Nakajima Group controlled
a long, thin strip that extended along the Sea of Japan.
In the end, eastern Japan was split vertically between Nakajima and Kinjo.
EARLY SPRING, 1969
One on Ato.
People of Takada.
Electoral candidate Bansui Ono would like to say a few words.
TAKADA, ECHIGO Deputy leader of the Political Democratic Party,
Bansui Ono.
Thank you for the warm reception.
This is Bansui Ono.
Thank you, everyone.
Hey, this isn't the right amount.
I'll bring the rest later.
Politics for the masses.
We'll build a world for the masses.
I am your candidate for the Japan Cooperative Party.
Just a little something for your campaign.
I hope you can accept it.
My goodness. Thank you for all your support.
How is the campaign going?
Well, I'm feeling optimistic. The progressives are all talk.
The US security treaty is renewed next year too.
We have to secure an absolute majority.
I hope you'll be sitting in the prime minister's seat this time.
Well, it must be very comfortable.
No one ever wants to get up from it, do they?
But Mr. Sakura, what I'd truly like to see
is you sitting at the head of the yakuza world.
What you need is a change of strategy.
Leave violence behind. Set your sights on politics instead.
You could stand as a candidate in the next upper house election.
Me?
Of course!
You're sure to win in any constituency.
Don't you think so, Tatsumi?
Ah, well...
This kind of thing is too complicated for me.
Come on, now. Don't be like that.
The two of you need to up your game when it comes to current affairs.
The thing is, the police have developed quite an interest
in the activities of the Nakajima Group.
It's come to the point that I don't know if I'll be able to hold them off.
Mr. Ono and Boss Sakura
are both sons of our prefecture.
The two of them together
carry the fate of Japan on their shoulders.
They are the greatest of men.
Heroes!
Their relationship is just like that
of Katsu Kaishu and Kunisada Chuji
at the end of the Edo era.
No, not Kunisada Chuji, you mean Shimizu no Jirocho.
Both of them pulled themselves out of poverty.
Chief, a drink to your health?
Thank you.
You and the boss came all the way out here to the sticks.
I, Fujio Nozaki, am greatly honored.
Well, we're counting on you.
You're the cornerstone of the Nakajima Group in Hokuriku.
Yes, I'll defend it to the death.
Now let me offer you a drink.
Oh, it's you.
I need to talk to my wife. Let me through.
Your wife's busy right now.
Busy? But I have to get the money off her to pay you guys.
We don't care about that any more. Go on home, now.
Idiot.
Hey! Who are you guys making my wife fuck?
Fool.
I never said you could make my wife a whore!
Alright, I'll tell you straight.
Your wife's with Shuhei Tatsumi of the Nakajima Group.
Still want to go in there and drag her back?
Get out of here.
Take a look at this.
What is it?
Oh, they're blueprints.
lchinomiya Hospital?
I thought it was about time you got your own place.
It's just a rough idea, though.
The site is near our office.
I was shocked.
He never mentioned anything about a hospital before.
There's a reason for that.
He heard that you're in a difficult position at the university.
You were on track to become an assistant professor last spring.
- Did Toshiko say something? - No.
He's been keeping an eye on you since the beginning.
I see.
How are things at the university?
My colleagues see me differently since I married Toshiko.
A professor at a staff meeting said I should resign
because I'd attract yakuza patients.
The reputation of the hospital would be compromised.
That's pretty harsh.
And he's usually so understanding.
When you join an organization like a university,
you become a demon intent on eliminating your rivals.
Maybe that's the same everywhere.
A man can be a loving father at home,
but commit crimes and push others aside for the company's sake.
It's a kind of violence.
When someone becomes part of an organization,
they can become terrifyingly brutal.
Hey!
Wasn't that Maki? She hasn't been home for a while.
Murata!
I can smell marijuana. It's like hemp but from Vietnam.
Come on, let's go home.
Maki, your mother's worried about you.
Leave me alone.
Come on.
Hey, man. Hands off my girl.
Stay out of this, alright?
What the fuck, man?
You called my mother, right?
She's on her way.
Hey!
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
You killed Michio, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
You told me he went back to his home town.
But my dad made you kill him, right?
Miss.
Don't talk nonsense.
Mr. Matsueda, make love to me.
If you won't, I'll tell the police you killed Michio.
Go ahead.
Tell them whatever you want.
Can’t you be a little more respectable, for your parents' sake?
I am respectable.
I like you, so I asked you to make love to me.
What's wrong with that?
Miss.
You're out of your mind.
TOKYO, P HOTEL
That's the Kinjo clan boss, lwami.
Well, then.
Ah, Mr. Sakura.
Thank you for coming all this way.
That's alright. Congratulations.
Thank you.
We've finally achieved our goal of advancing to the capital
and becoming a top-ranked company.
Enjoy the celebration.
What was all that? Kind of full of himself, isn't he?
I'd like to see his face if we exposed that thing with the girl.
Ah, Mr. Sakura.
Hello, Mr. Oyama. Thank you for the other day.
Don't mention it.
This is your celebration too. You're in the ascendant these days.
I'd like to introduce you to Eizo lwami of the Kinjo clan.
This is Sakura of the Nakajima Group.
I'm Eizo lwami. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
I heard a lot about you from my predecessor.
I was hoping I'd have the opportunity to meet you at some point.
I'm looking forward to working with you in the future.
Likewise.
Do you have time after the party? I'd like for us to go somewhere.
-Alright. - lwami.
Chief, that doesn't sound good.
We'll now begin the speeches from honored guests.
Please welcome Kikuo Oyama to the stage.
I'm thinking of creating the Japan Allies Association.
I'll be relying on you and lwami to help.
With the security treaty renewal on the horizon,
the left-wingers are furiously plotting to turn Japan into a socialist nation.
As those concerned for the future of our country,
the nationalists and yakuza should come together
and form the Japan Allies Association.
We can push the Conservative Party
to keep Japan safe from communist ideology.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you,
but ever since that bureaucrat Naito became prime minister,
the yakuza connections of party men like Ono and Tagawa
have been exposed in the newspapers.
The bureaucrats are trying to discredit the old-timers.
They'll start coming after the yakuza to court public opinion.
Of course, it goes without saying,
the Nakajima Group will be first in line.
So...
If we can transform ourselves into a political organization,
we can avoid unnecessary attacks from the law.
You'll help me, won't you?
Well, I'm very grateful for the invitation,
- but I enjoy my current line of work. - Don't be hasty.
There's no need to overthink this.
I just need you to show some yakuza spirit
and pitch in to avoid this national crisis.
With all due respect,
I have my hands full making sure 10,000 men can earn a living.
I'm afraid I'll have to decline.
Yakuza these days
are always trying to show off by getting into politics.
It's weird.
You got that right. But I'm glad the boss put his foot down for us.
I was worried he'd quit the yakuza when Toshiko got married.
Hey, you want to go out for a drink?
Sounds good.
I don't think I'll be able to sleep, anyway.
Okay, then.
Tatsumi speaking.
Oh! Thanks for the other day.
What?
Is it okay if Umehara comes too?
Oh, I see. We'll head straight over.
What was that about?
They're having dinner and invited us over.
Taguchi said he needed your help.
So I decided to invite you over.
Tatsumi, this is a huge endeavor.
Please listen carefully.
Have a look at this.
Sanzen Oil is planning to build a petrochemical complex
in Sugita, Yokohama.
Abebo Development and Abebo Land are trying to single-handedly handle
the acquisition and reclamation of 2.8 million square feet of land
along with negotiating compensation for 1300 fishermen and their families.
Abebo's working with Sanzen?
The financial world works in mysterious ways.
Sanzen is competing with Sumii and Marui.
They're getting into bed with Abebo to leap into pole position.
I got hold of this information a while ago,
so I've been keeping tabs on them secretly.
In this here binder,
you will find shocking evidence of fraud and conspiracy!
I thought I should pass it on to you and lwami.
So, in other words, you want us to betray Abebo?
Abebo's not playing by the rules either. They asked lwami to be their advisor.
That was probably just out of politeness.
Come on, don't be silly.
Abebo said they wanted to cut ties with the Nakajima Group.
That can't be true.
The financial world is full of shit.
I understand what you're saying.
But, lwami, what do you think about all this?
A job's a job.
Thank you for the offer, but I don't think I can accept it.
Why?
We don't have any intention of betraying Abebo.
You and Sakura.
Seems like people from the west aren't very accommodating.
We're simple people.
We get it from the boss.
Everyone in the Nakajima Group is like that.
Well, if that's how you feel, fair enough.
But we'll be looking after Abebo in the Kanto area from now on.
So please bear that in mind.
Well, we'll continue to protect them in both Kanto and Kansai territory.
I'm sure that's what they want too.
You're wrong, there.
We received a formal request from Abebo.
This is the first I've heard of it.
Well, now you know.
Right.
I hear you loud and clear.
Okay, well, thanks for the meal.
Ready to go? We should be off.
Shifty bastard.
lwami, don't take your eyes off him.
Since the post-war days when everything was in ruins,
Tatsumi's been boasting he'd make Sakura the number one boss in Japan.
If that's the case, then why don't we just take him out now?
That would bring disgrace on us.
What?
I won't let any of those Kansai guys so much as set foot in Kanto.
WINTER, 1970
In yakuza society,
a ceremony is held on 13th December to prepare for New Year.
All the executives attend to bring the year to a close.
This year, the Nakajima Group's members
consist of 50 executives under second-in-command Shuhei Tatsumi,
and 12,000 men overall.
Happy New Year, Boss.
Happy New Year to you too.
Thank you for all your hard work over the last year.
Keep it up for next year too, won't you?
Yes, Boss.
This is Mr. Wachi, president of Sanzen Oil.
My name's Wachi. Nice to meet you.
I'm Tatsumi.
My name's Seiji Kataoka.
I've been working with Abebo since the beginning.
I'm glad to make your acquaintance.
Mr. Tatsumi,
the truth is we and Sanzen Oil
are being extorted by the same people.
Petrochemical complexes are a major source of pollution.
You listen to me.
Even if I took the five hundred million yen,
it's not for my own benefit.
I'm trying to help the people affected by your pollution.
In regard to the pollution issue,
each company is devising sufficient countermeasures.
We're also compensating the locals.
Shut up!
You may have been able to trick the poor but you won't fool me!
If you still say you won't pay,
then I'll expose everything Abebo has done over the last three years
to facilitate the building of the petrochemical complex.
I'll lay it all out before parliament.
See this?
Construction permits, site acquisition, land reclamation, compensation payments.
How many billions
have you paid out to corrupt politicians and officials to get all of that done?
I know everything, right down to the tiniest details.
OSAKA R HOTEL
I'm sorry I'm late. I've come to collect Mr. Taguchi.
Do you work for the city of Osaka?
Yes, I'm Hatakeyama, the manager of the general affairs division.
A manager! How insulting!
Tell the director to get his ass over here!
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
The director and the head of department are away on a business trip.
A business trip?
Don't you care about foreign business?
Local governments really are dropping the ball these days.
My most sincere apologies.
Anyway, where are you planning to take me?
Well, first we'll have something to eat at Tsuruya.
Then I thought I could show you around Kita.
Will there be geisha? Or gambling?
We can tailor the tour to your personal tastes.
I see.
- I was with Fukunaga the other day. - You were?
We went to Korea. So no Korean girls, okay?
Alright, I understand.
I'll wait for you in the lobby.
Yes, this is Mr. Taguchi's room.
One moment, please.
It's Abebo's secretary.
- What do they want? - To talk to you directly.
It's a young woman.
A woman?
What's all this about?
I'm not postponing anything.
I don't care whatever your idiot boss says.
I'm coming for the money tomorrow, you hear me?
That's not why I'm calling.
The director asked me to give you a tour of nighttime Osaka.
I'm in the lobby right now.
Are you alone?
Yes.
Are you Mr. Taguchi?
- Yeah, I'm Taguchi. - I'm Kyoko Koyama.
- I'll be your companion tonight. - Right.
Shall we?
Mr. Taguchi, the car is waiting for you.
Idiot. Who needs an office boy like you? Go on, get out of here.
Oh, uh... okay...
Who the hell are you?
Look, I'm a serving politician in the Diet. My name's Taguchi.
Mr. Taguchi.
Gould you stamp this for me?
What is it?
Read it out for him.
Alright.
"I have been profoundly affected by the recent revelations
and have reflected on my actions.
I solemnly swear never to extort money or goods from anyone again.
To Abebo Corporation, Sanzen Oil,
and Naniwa Institute of Politics and Economics..."
Alright, I get it now.
You're Abebo's tough guys.
Bring it, you punks.
I won't be intimidated by the likes of you.
What the hell are you doing? Don't you know who I am?
Stop this. It's dangerous.
Let me down!
Ow, that hurts!
Ow!
Let me down, please.
Mr. Taguchi.
Your thumbprint.
No!
I'll never stamp it. Never!
I won't be intimidated by violence!
No, stop it!
Don't do it, please!
Tatsumi, you bastard!
How dare you insult me, a serving member of parliament!
I won't forget this!
This is a clear attack on the Diet by organized crime.
A war between the Japanese government and the Nakajima Group.
You idiot.
Our country would cry to hear you say its name.
What? You haven't heard the last of this!
I'm coming for you! Remember that.
I'll indict you in the Diet.
Go ahead, do whatever you like.
But as soon as you do,
10,000 Nakajima men will be after your head.
Just keep that in mind, okay?
DOWN WITH THE COMPLEX
DEATH TO THOSE STEALING FISHERMEN'S LIVELIHOODS!
CLEAR UP POLLUTION
KANEDA TRANSPORT
Hello.
Good morning.
So the land reclamation project in Yokohama is underway?
Yes.
We got the contract to deliver earth and sand.
It's a big project that will run for three years,
so I'm thinking of having groups take turns.
What are Kinjo up to?
Well, we're not afraid of them.
I think the guys are coming together because of what you told Oyama.
KANEDA TRANSPORT
Where were you at 10pm?
We've been here all night.
Hey, man. If this is about drugs, we don't do that any more.
Let's see.
What are you doing?
What's going on?
Has something happened?
Yeah.
Punks attacked Kaneda Transport.
Hey, we don't know anything about that!
Save it for the station.
What's the matter?
- Is she okay? - Kaori, what's wrong?
Yoshio, it really hurts.
- She's in pain. - The baby's coming.
The baby?
- She okay? - She's in labor.
Hey, you guys have a car, right?
Mister, you gotta lend us the car!
You know I can't do that!
- Please, help us! - Come on, man.
What are you going to do if the baby dies?
I'll tell the papers you're a dirty cop!
Okay, fine. They can give you a lift.
Be careful, okay.
That's my kid in there.
She's having my baby!
Come on, put her down gently.
Careful, everyone.
Kaori, are you okay?
Hang in there!
Alright, out of the way.
Okay, off you go.
Alright then. Keep out of trouble, okay?
We've already got our hands full with the students this year.
What the hell is this?
The thing is, Mr. Tatsumi,
about the construction project in Yokohama,
we'd like to cancel the contract you have to deliver sand and earth.
What's all this about?
Tell us why.
Well, I can't tell you the reason.
But it seems that things in the east should be handled by the east,
or we'll end up with disagreements like the other day.
In any case, please understand the position we are in.
Shimabara.
Are you being pressured by Kinjo?
You guys,
you're considering switching sides, aren't you?
Of course not!
This has all been purely my own personal decision.
Our relationship can continue in the same way as before.
Mr. Tatsumi, I hope you can find a way to accept this.
Come on now, how could I?
It's not like it is for you respectable types,
pulling out now would be a huge mistake.
The Nakajima Group could go out of business.
I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave.
- Hey. - Go on.
That evening, 200 Nakajima men set off for Yokosuka.
They left with such speed it was as if they had been waiting
for something to happen.
What's in here?
Apples. It's just apples!
Come on man, give us a break.
We're just trying to get to work.
You want us all to lose our jobs?
We're just a bunch of country boys.
Better luck next time.
The Nakajima Group's stepping things up.
Sakoda's guy Munakata,
he marched into Yokosuka with 200 men.
This is Tatsumi's declaration of war.
I'm ready to go, too.
No.
I'm telling you, no.
Now is not the time.
Petty disputes will only result in the destruction of Japan.
lwami.
You can't go to war.
Isn't there some way you can come to an agreement?
These guys from Kansai aren't as understanding as you.
I'm not going to stop
until I make lssei Sakura kneel down at your feet.
ICHINOMIYA HOSPITAL
All clear.
You're in the best of health.
That's wonderful.
What about Tatsumi?
He hasn't been in recently, which is a worry.
Heart trouble is like a ticking time bomb.
Excuse me, Mrs. Sakura?
The Kita police called. Makiko's been arrested.
What?
In any case, she was heavily intoxicated.
She was thrashing around and shouting:
"My Dad's the head of the Nakajima Group."
I'm terribly sorry.
Makiko.
Now, listen to me.
Marijuana's quite a drug.
It'll mess you up.
Okay?
If I catch you again, you'll end up in prison.
Makiko, apologize to the policeman.
Why? They can't even catch Dad.
Makiko!
Miss, please.
- Let go of me. - Makiko, that's enough.
Mom, I'm never coming home.
I'm just some drifter's kid, anyway.
What are you doing?
Give it up.
They're the ones in the wrong! They've no right to take pictures.
Makiko.
TERRIFYING YAKUZA FAMILY
NAKAJIMA BOSS' DAUGHTER ARRESTED
Yeah, they're accusing him of tax evasion.
The police are raiding Naniwa Institute of Politics and Economics.
Probably just the usual police harassment.
I see. Alright.
We'll have to figure something out.
Go to Tokyo with Umehara.
Okay.
ONO
TOKYO, HOME OF BANSUI ONO
Chief, Ono just had a stroke.
He's in critical condition.
ICHINOMIYA HOSPITAL
On hearing of Ono's condition, Sakura was admitted
to a private fourth-floor room at Ichinomiya Hospital
where he was prescribed total bed rest due to high blood pressure.
Tatsumi became the acting boss of the Nakajima Group.
It's annoying, I know. But rest here for now.
How are things in Yokosuka?
Good.
It's pretty peaceful right now.
Tatsumi.
Don't take your eyes off Tokyo.
That goes without saying.
Just you watch.
We'll have taken care of Yokosuka in no time.
No.
At some point, you'll run into a problem you can't solve alone.
The police action right now is a just sign of what's to come.
It just goes to show how much we've grown.
I'm ready for the backlash.
Don't overdo it.
Well,
if Ono doesn't pull through, I'll go to the funeral.
There's no need for that.
I can handle it. Don't you worry.
I can't let you go to the east right now, it's not safe.
Don't be silly.
Even if I die,
I know I can rely on you to take over.
Did he say anything about Oyama?
Oyama's just a man. What's there to be afraid of?
Maybe we should wait and see how it goes?
Don't be ridiculous.
There are no breaks in a yakuza fight.
Don't leave the boss' side, okay?
Alright.
If it carries on like this, there'll be no end to it.
The construction guys can stay.
But I want the rest of you out right away.
Alright, I get it.
But you haven't done anything about the Kaneda thing, either.
Now that I think of it,
it's obvious the police always side with the Kanto yakuza.
Don't be ridiculous.
This is all because you invaded someone else's turf.
Listen.
Take your men and go back to Osaka by midnight tonight.
That's an order.
MATSUYA INN
The cops said they'll arrest us all if we're still here at midnight.
Pisses me the hell off.
We're busting through the blockade.
I don't know how many of us will survive,
but we're storming Kinjo's Tokyo headquarters.
You can do that any time.
Just bring Munakata's body back for now.
I'm going to Tokyo the day after tomorrow.
Ono died.
Chief, you can't be serious.
Why are you going to the funeral? Can’t one of the others go?
No, it has to be me.
If I don't go, the boss is going to want to go himself.
We can't let him go to Tokyo, can we?
Alright.
Miyanoura can escort Munakata's body.
I'll stay here.
No way.
I can't let you come here alone.
What are you doing?
I'm getting rid of it!
Don't!
You idiot.
I told you I wanted children.
But why did you go and have a black one?
You really thought you could pass it off as mine? Fool.
Listen, Kaori.
My boss and everyone even congratulated me.
What the hell were you thinking?
If you want to be with me, you'll have to kill the baby.
You have to do it yourself.
Idiot!
What were you thinking?
So what? Black or covered in polka dots, it's still a baby, right?
Shut the fuck up.
What's your problem?
Look, be realistic.
If Kaori dumps you, how are you going to eat?
So, where do you want to go?
Anywhere's fine.
I'm going to Hokkaido, want to come with me?
Sure.
What do you want?
Tatsumi will be here tomorrow.
Tatsumi from the Nakajima Group?
Yeah, that's right.
The Tokyo and Yokohama guys have had enough.
We can't just sit back and watch.
You know what he looks like?
I've seen him in the papers.
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR THE LATE BANSUI ONO
Get down!
Follow that car! Go!
Are you alright?
- I'm fine. - Go get the car.
Harita, stay with me.
Tatsumi!
Die, you bastard!
Chief!
You bastard.
You little piece of shit.
Come on. There could be more, stay alert.
- Is the car ready? - Yeah.
Come on.
Get us to the hospital, step on it!
- Take care of things here. - Yes, sir.
I'm afraid we have no knowledge of the recent events.
"Decisive Battle!" or "Power Struggle", or whatever,
you made all that up for the headlines.
All that old-fashioned heroism nonsense doesn't appeal to us at all.
The hitman they arrested confessed to receiving money from the Kinjo clan.
He's lying.
That never happened.
How will you deal with the Nakajima Group in the future?
Will you sign a peace agreement and mark off your territory?
We've approached them several times through Mr. Oyama.
But it seems they're not willing to compromise.
Hello, lwami.
You've got some nerve pointing a gun at the chief.
You better not miss.
Give it your best shot.
Fucking bastards! Get your hands off me!
Let me go!
Crazy bastard.
INNOCENT BYSTANDER KILLED
CITIZENS IN TERROR
How are you feeling?
Well, it was no big deal, really.
I'm not talking about the shooting.
I meant your heart condition.
That's no big deal, either.
It's been going on a long time.
So, about Sakoda.
We'll have to exile him.
Exile?
Yeah.
Boss,
that's a bit harsh, don't you think?
Considering his position and everything he's done for us,
the guys won't stand for it if you exile him now.
However it turned out,
Sakoda put his life on the line for the Nakajima Group.
Tatsumi.
I've been in charge of the Nakajima Group for 25 years.
It's no exaggeration to say
that the Nakajima Group wouldn't be what it is today without you.
But we've come to a crossroads.
The way things are now,
if we want to lead fifteen thousand men,
then guys like Sakoda are no good to us.
We have to make it clear that we've changed.
Give Sakoda his notice of exile immediately.
Boss!
You can't do this.
How dare you!
INVESTIGATIVE UNIT 4 I didn't notice anything.
I left everything to Shimabara.
But I've heard once or twice about him complaining
that he was being extorted by the yakuza.
I'm acquainted with Mr. Kataoka of the Nakajima Group
through our stockholder meetings.
It's through him I met Mr. Tatsumi and Mr. Sakura.
I was only trying to be polite,
but then, they craftily
got a consultation fee out of us.
I also introduced them to other companies.
In the end,
I ended up getting involved with raising investment for organized crime.
I deeply regret it.
If it's about being exiled, I already know.
The detective gave it to me.
NOTICE OF EXILE
Sakoda.
I know how you feel.
But if it's a gang that would exile me for this,
then I'm better off out.
When people rise in the world,
they care more about appearances than their real feelings.
Chief.
My wife and kids.
You'll look out for them, won't you?
We have to make Tatsumi disband the gang.
Once that happens, the Nakajima Group will fall apart.
We need to get an arrest warrant for Sakura right away.
Once we have that, Tatsumi will fold.
Since he got shot in Tokyo,
his heart condition's worsened.
He won't have the stomach for resistance.
Even if it costs us our heads, we have to drive them into a corner.
You extorted Abebo's director, didn't you?
You stole hundreds of millions using this receipt.
Who ordered it?
Tatsumi?
Sakura?
Cat got your tongue, you punk?
Like that, huh?
How about it?
Hey.
Have some tea. Here.
Maybe it'll loosen your tongue.
You little shit.
Over the last four years, five hundred million was transferred
to Naniwa Institute of Politics and Economics.
Shiro Matsueda is listed as the boss,
but you were the one who was actually in charge.
Right?
Where'd you hide the money?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
What was it again, Nani-what?
Naniwa Politics?
What the hell is that?
Kataoka, don't mock the police.
Ow, that hurt.
This is police brutality!
Mrs. Sakura, if you say you received the money from Kataoka,
then we can drop the case against your husband.
He might get done for tax evasion, but at worst he'd just get a fine.
But if you carry on holding out on us,
we'll have to look into other charges like extortion and conspiracy to murder.
Mrs. Sakura.
You've got a daughter called Makiko, haven't you?
We got a call from Hyogo.
She's been arrested for illegal possession of heroin.
She's looking at four or five years.
But one word from me, and it all goes away.
I don't know anything.
Like I said, it'll only take 10 minutes.
We need to interview him.
No. I won't allow it. He needs total rest.
Give us a break. You think we don't know he's faking?
- Out of the way. - I said, no.
Hey!
You're obstructing the law.
How, exactly?
This is my hospital.
I'll sue you for trespass.
What did you say?
Hey Doc, you put the yakuza to shame.
What do you want?
Is Shuhei Tatsumi here?
I'm Tatsumi.
Shuhei Tatsumi.
We're arresting you on suspicion of insurance fraud.
Fraud?
Tatsumi.
To be honest, we don't really care about the insurance fraud.
We want you to disband your gang.
You've already proved yourself.
Why don't you bow out gracefully?
Alright, then.
Let's make a deal.
Those of us in Unit 4
are working with Unit 2 investigating Sakura for tax evasion.
If you disband your gang,
we can look the other way.
Listen to me.
It won't be just tax evasion he gets charged with.
Extortion.
Conspiracy to murder.
He'll get 10 years, if he's lucky.
Neither of you will ever recover.
You better think long and hard, okay?
Long and hard.
Sakoda killed himself.
He left a note for you.
Read it.
CHIEF, I CAN’T TAKE THIS NONSENSE ANYMORE
Poor old Sakoda.
A general's success is built on the bodies of his men.
Sakura will get rid of you too when you're no longer useful to him.
How about it, Tatsumi?
Aren't you fed up with yakuza nonsense too?
It's time to open your eyes.
"I, leader of the Kataoka Group,
Seiji Kataoka, announce today
that for the good of society..."
Sakoda's death dealt a heavy blow to members of the Nakajima Group.
After Kataoka's announcement, Umehara, Kaneda, and many more
of Sakura's most prominent men
announced they were disbanding their gangs.
Tatsumi.
Your heart condition's getting worse.
We're granting you special release.
What's more,
now Kataoka and Kaneda have disbanded too,
we finally have enough for an arrest warrant.
See?
ARREST WARRANT
ISSEI SAKURA
Boss.
I'd like to resign.
I'm too ill to be of any use to you.
If you expunge my name from the ranks of Nakajima,
then perhaps society will see how much you've changed.
You're disbanding the Tatsumi gang?
Yes.
Tatsumi!
You're not like Sakoda.
I think of you as my other self.
If you disband,
it's like I'm admitting defeat to the police and society.
Hell no.
I won't lose. Absolutely not.
So as long as you live, you have to keep fighting alongside me.
Boss.
Don't say anything else.
You have to get some rest and take care of yourself, okay?
Fool.
How could you let it come to this? Cure him, now!
We've prepared a room for you on the third floor.
Kiyo, let's go home.
Mr. Tatsumi.
Shuhei, are you okay?
I'm fine.
I can walk on my own.
Mr. Tatsumi.
Shuhei.
Tatsumi has grown weak in body and mind.
Keep an eye on him.
Doctor, is there nothing you can do?
Let's give him a shot of morphine.
Please, hurry.
Tanimoto.
Hey.
Gall the policeman at Unit 4.
Tell him I'll announce our disbandment tomorrow.
Do it now.
Please, don't go through with the disbandment.
If you do, your name will be mud.
Kiyo.
I want to write something.
Bring me a piece of paper and a pencil.
This isn't the time.
Come on, you need to rest.
Hey.
Tatsumi's going to disband.
They just called.
Is that right?
I caused you a lot of bother.
Don't be silly.
I'm so happy.
You finally made up your mind to do it.
Honestly, I was pretty annoyed with them.
You worked so hard for Nakajima without a thought for yourself.
And now all they do is think about themselves.
Does he have any idea what you went through for him?
Well, it's all over now.
We can forget about it all and live together peacefully.
Right?
Kiyo.
Fetch me a pencil.
And some paper.
Shuhei.
Go and get them, quickly.
Disbandment.
Dis...
DISBAN...
Shuhei?
Shuhei?
Are you okay?
Shuhei...
Help me, please.
I can't die before I finish this.
What are you saying? Stop now, please. Put it down, okay?
Help me.
Help me sit up.
No, stop it!
How long have we been together?
- You have to stop it, please! - Kiyo!
"Pl...
Pledge..."
"Me..."
"I..."
"Shuhei...
Tatsumi..."
Shuhei, please.
Kiyo, I don't know how to write. That's wrong, isn't it?
"On this occasion..."
"On this occasion..."
How do you spell "occasion"? I can't remember.
- "On this occasion..." - Doctor!
Doctor, come quickly!
Doctor!
Come on...
"Disbandment..."
Doctor, help him. Please!
Put him on his front.
Come on, get on the bed.
No, leave me alone.
Come on.
Shut up.
His shirt.
Shuhei?
Shuhei!
Shuhei!
The chief, he's gone.
You must have been in a lot of pain.
No one can hurt you any more.
I'm Fukushima, Osaka Police. I want to see Tatsumi.
I'm afraid Mr. Tatsumi
has passed away.
What?
Are you messing with us again?
Where's Tatsumi's room? Tell us.
Third floor.
Come on.
When did he die?
4am this morning.
What did he die of?
Please ask Dr lchinomiya.
- Is there a declaration of disbandment? - No.
How did he die?
How did he die?
Mr. Sakura.
I'm also a member of the Sakura family.
You did well.
