Ibuki.

Have you ever strolled with a woman?

With a woman?

Well... Why?

If you don't walk slowly she'll hate you.

What are you getting at?

All right, I'll tell you.

You're so gung-ho, you make the others look bad.

Stop.

Hey, Newbies.

You can't do half the things a soldier has to do,

but you want to eat like a full fledged soldier?

You call yourself soldiers of the Imperial Anny?

We don't feed the likes of you.

No dinner tonight.

Attention.

Hey, Ibuki.

You go ahead and eat.

You're the only one who acts like a real soldier.

Everyone.

I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble.

Ibuki.

Officer Abe.

I won't eat either.

What?

I...

Attention.

What's the matter, Ibuki?

I can't go any further.

You tired already?

- Tuck you chin in. - Stay in formation.

Damn you.

Get back in line.

- Shall we? - Yeah.

You call yourself superiors?

Poor thing.

Are we going to cry ourselves to sleep?

Hey. You crying?

I... Mom...

Mom?

I killed her.

I became a yakuza. She died of grief.

Not me.

Is she well?

Yeah.

But like you, I made her unhappy.

But she's alive.

Listen.

Right after I was born,

my pa died, so I'm told.

She raised me singlehandedly...

We were farmers,

we were too poor to have white rice.

Ryuma. Eat.

I was about eight then.

We had just one relative.

My pa's brother.

He was an awful guy.

No way.

Send him out to work.

Then I'll think about it.

Please. Just until he finishes elementary school.

I'll have him do anything.

So please take him in.

No, leave.

“Wing!

Idiot.

So then what happened?

The priest in Tokyo's Zenpukuji, who was Pa's friend,

found me a position.

I became an errand boy for a lumber dealer.

That was the first time Ma...

gave me a rice ball made with white rice.

It's white rice.

Here.

You do what the priest says.

Don't worry. Let's go.

Come with me.

Take care of him.

Ma!

Ma!

Don't worry.

Ma...

What's she doing now?

After I joined the army,

she went to clean graves at the priest's temple.

That's good.

I swear.

I want Ma to have all the white rice she wants.

Shhh... not so loud.

Three months later

Front line. Get set.

Charge. Commence.

Officer Abe.

A telegram for a soldier.

Ibuki.

Come here.

It's for you.

"Mother dead."

Don't cry.

You call yourself an Imperial soldier?

I hear your mother cleaned graves.

Good thing she was near a grave.

Don't cry.

- Ibuki! - Don't cry.

Stand up.

Damn you, stand.

Aren't you a grown man?

What's the matter?

Ibuki. Say something.

Hey, Ibuki.

Ibuki.

Don't get all teary just because your mother died.

Are you a mama's boy?

Where are you going?

Stop, Ibuki.

Hey, Ibuki.

What the hell?

What are you doing?

- I'm done. - Don't, Ibuki.

I'm going to kill you all.

Newbies Get out of the way.

Ibuki, don't be stupid.

You call yourself an officer?

Big deal.

I'll kill you.

Taka Ibuki

If only you could have been at her deathbed.

You haven't seen her since you were eight.

Do you remember her?

Don't be sad.

You're a good son.

You worked for 13 years without a holiday

to send your pay to her.

Ryuma. The lumber store you worked for...

It went bankrupt in this recession.

What will you do now?

Hey.

I gave Taka all the white rice she wanted.

This is the remainder of the money you sent her.

You keep it for Ma's grave.

No, no. You take it. Take it.

Priest.

The way things are now,

I have no idea how to survive.

Maybe...

I'll go to a place where I'll never be able to come back.

Please take care of her.

Mi.

You're still young.

What's the point in dying?

Damn you. You're here again?

I said don't come here anymore.

How many times do we have to tell you?

Get out of here.

I said go.

Hey. Stop it.

Says who?

Who the hell are you?

Just because he's a beggar...

You shouldn't bully the weak.

What? Damn you!

Damn you.

That hurt.

What's the matter?

He's hungry-

Shall we take him home?

Hey.

Don't talk too loud. You'll get hungry.

Why do they say you can't stop being a beggar?

To live you need money.

You have to work for money.

In a world where we're not able to work,

being a beggar is the best job.

Even though you're healthy enough to work?

Right.

I'm a big man.

So if I steal, I'll be caught instantly.

If we become yakuza,

we'll have to break the law gambling.

I'm not smart enough to swindle someone.

I hear cabinet ministers have to do bad things, too.

Are you ashamed of being taken care of by beggars?

If you are, don't ever go hungry again.

In order to survive,

you have to learn shame like your life depended on it.

Like my life depended on it?

When that time comes...

What will you do?

I'd like to be a day laborer.

That's a good idea.

You're going?

Yeah. If I have more fun here I won't want to go.

Come back to us, God willing.

Appreciate the sentiment, but no thanks.

Rather, when I've made it, you all come visit me.

You talk big.

Hey, Boshu.

Shall we go?

He's still attached to the regular world.

Take him with you.

But if I can't make it...

Don't worry. I'll beg so you won't starve.

I like you.

Then let's go.

Everyone. Thanks for everything.

Thank you.

Be well.

Never come back again.

Hey. You guys work too hard.

We're day laborers.

As long as you put in the hours, you get paid.

So take it easy.

He's right. Brother, this is hard work.

You like begging better?

- It's much easier. - Fool.

I'm sorry.

Since I finally got this job, I was too eager.

If you two work hard, the others look bad.

- They said that in the army. - See?

Hey. Take a break.

It's break time.

Hey, Tatsu.

We're on for tonight.

- Bring everyone with you. - The usual place.

We'll be waiting. You come, too.

- We'll be waiting - Hey, Kuma, you come, too.

- Are you going? - Something's not right.

When I bet even, it comes out odds.

If say odds, it's always even.

You're right. I've been losing for some time.

I think they must be cheating.

Are you ready?

Place your bets.

Go ahead. Place you bets.

Even.

Odds.

Odds. Even.

Any more bets?

Here we go.

It's even.

- Hey, ' What?

What's this?

You're cheating.

Give me back my money.

You picking a fight?

Damn right.

You make us work hard during the daytime.

Then you swindle us at night by cheating.

Hey.

You dare challenge the Shishido family?

Yes, we do.

You're gambling with your own money.

There's no reason they should profit from it.

- Shut up. - No, you shut up.

Hey, take what's yours.

Don't take more than what's yours.

You'll be a thief then.

- Did you get it? - We're done.

Let's go, Brother.

Leaving already?

- You have money? - No.

Sony, but let's call it a day.

Let's go. Thank you.

Come again.

Pretty lady.

How dare you. Let go of me.

- High and mighty are you? - Yes I am.

Don't bother me if you can't pay.

Damn you.

You look down on me 'cause I'm a laborer.

- I wouldn't bother. - I see.

If you have money that's another story.

Money?

I have money.

How much?

- This much. - Not enough.

That's give you five minutes of conversation.

That's fine.

You may say that now, but men...

No, don't get involved with this whore.

- Whore? - Let's go.

Sorry-

Go home.

Come with me.

Brother, what about me?

Come in.

Excuse me.

Close the door.

You're a curious one.

I'm a tumbling doll.

- Tumbling doll? - Don't you know?

I lie down, get up... You want to play with me?

I just want to talk.

How about a drink?

I already drank.

I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

Oh...

You don't like women who smoke.

That's not it.

I'm Ofuji.

Where were you born?

Don't.

Ooops.

Why do men ask such things?

This can't be.

What?

You like me?

It brings back memories...

Oh. Have we met before?

- When I was eight... - Eight?

Fool. Why would we have met then?

Don't stare like that.

I don't know what to do.

Why don't we have fun?

Goodbye.

You can stay.

He's such a fool.

Goodbye.

- Brother! - What's the matter?

The Shishido guys took Tatsu away.

But you're here?

We got away.

- You stay here. I'll go. - Don't.

She's right.

- I'll come again. - You won't be able to.

Goodbye.

Fool! They'll kill you.

Hey, don't interfere.

Hello.

You're the one?

Oh, it's you.

You're the boss?

I'm Shishido.

That sounds right.

I'm Ryuma Ibuki.

Are you the one who caused the trouble?

Yep. It was all me.

He had nothing to do with it. So let him go.

You'll take his place?

- Sure. - You...

Take it easy.

Fool. They are yakuza.

Gambling's their business. How dare you!

So if you're yakuza, you can cheat?

- Cheat? - Damn you!

Hold on.

Mr. Shishido, it seems he's in the right.

So, I owe you for this one.

Come here.

Take him home.

- Mr. Tamachi. I'm sorry. - Fool!

Take him home.

Come back inside.

Sakamoto Group Day Laborer Agency

- Hello. - You are?

I want to see your boss.

What do you want?

I want to work for him. Is he here?

You can't just walk in here.

Why is it a problem for you?

She's opinionated for a maid.

Could you please ask your boss?

Sure thing.

Hello.

Oh, it's you.

As you know, the economy's bad.

There's not much work to be had.

I know that.

But if we want to just stay alive,

I could become a thief or yakuza

or even go to jail.

Who's the dirty one?

He's a beggar.

It's all right.

I tried to be a beggar.

But...

I want to earn an honest living.

Please, Boss.

Here.

Have some tea.

She's my daughter Aya.

Hello.

Umm... I'm sorry.

Here, have some.

No.

Wait here. You can't come with me.

- Hello. - Oh.

I'm surprised you aren't hurt.

I'm going to work for Boss Sakamoto.

Sakamoto? Oh, in Tamachi?

He's a great boss.

I know.

I'm glad I'm alive.

I envy you.

I'd like to have some of that outlook.

You can have it all.

I asked for an advance.

Here, take it.

I'll bring some sake.

- No, I don't want any. - But we're not open yet.

Want to come upstairs?

Er, no. I'll come again.

- What a weird guy. - How weird.

Everyone says so.

I'm Ryuma. Bye.

Hey, wait.

That man...

His name is Ryuma...

Hey.

Well? Do you think we'll get the job?

It sounds problematic.

Too bad. It's our first job.

Hey, come.

Both Shishido and Akane groups

want a 50 percent increase to unload the cargo.

Fifty? That's not good.

Our cargo's bananas.

It'll spoil if it doesn't get unloaded quickly.

They're waiting for me to cave

and agree to their prices.

That's too bad for you.

If they rot, you've got nothing.

This is business.

Sometimes you lose money.

The Shishido men are keeping watch on our decks.

What?

- Boss? - What?

Mr. Ogata's in a bind.

- Let's help him offload. - Fool.

We can't.

I don't employ you so you can fight.

Mr. Ogita. Please leave.

Boss?

You have something to say?

Yes, can you loan me a ship?

Fool. They'll kill you.

Yes, that's okay.

That's right. You couldn't kill yourself.

I'll do this with guys no one will grieve for.

Ma? I, Boss?

No.

Mr. Shipper.

I'm going to risk my life.

Promise me you won' t make a big profit.

- I promise. - All right then.

Everyone, those with families can't come.

We're not going as Sakamoto group.

All right. We quit.

Here we go.

Everyone, it's a done deal.

We're unloading the bananas.

That's news to us.

How dare you board this ship?

Damn you. Didn't you hear us?

We're here for the bananas.

I said bananas.

Get out of the way.

Is Boss here?

I'll shoot.

I'll shoot, too.

Look, Boss...

It'll look bad for you if you shot it out with a day laborer.

What?

Making money's fine.

But think about the kids who want those bananas.

I don't like the way you do things.

This is gasoline.

You're all going to die with me.

I can't deal with an underling like you.

Leave.

Yes, this was done by underlings.

We quit the Sakamoto group.

Look, Boss...

If you overlook what we've done, we'll go.

- You conceited bastard. - Get out.

Can't.

Hey, Boss, I want your answer.

Damn you.

All right. Let's all die.

Let me through.

Ibuki!

Oh, Koike.

You're the one who did this?

- Yeah. You work for him? - No.

I'm the gambling joint manager for Iwasa.

- Then don't interfere. - Not that easy.

Now that I know it's you.

Mr. Shishido. He's my war buddy.

He's very unpredictable.

Can you leave this to me?

- You'll make this right? - Yes.

Let's go.

I won't leave until we settle this.

I'll settle this. Come.

You're a big man around here?

It's not that.

I'll have my boss intercede.

- I don't like it. - Don't say that.

Everyone must be worried. Go back to them.

Hey.

Did you visit your mom's grave?

Yeah. Oh, someone like my mom...

What?

Never mind. See ya.

Hey, come in.

Boss.

Could you fire just me?

Don't try to be a hero.

HEY, everyone.

Do you think you did a good thing?

Well? Answer me.

We were wrong.

Fools.

You did good.

However...

What you did was foolhardy.

Courage is only good when it's based on reason.

Shishido's going to be a nemesis from now on.

Be careful, everyone. You, most of all.

I'm fine.

You've got guts.

- I'm next. - Dad!

Boss...

Everyone. Will you work for me again?

Yes.

- Please. - Thank you.

Iwasa Group

Fool!

Your unauthorized actions made me lose face with Shishido.

I trusted him because I thought it was your idea.

I'm sorry.

Boss, do what you will with me.

- All right, I'm going to... - Hold on.

There's no need to lose a manager

just because of an underling.

Really? Thanks.

For the next bid for transporting pipes,

we'll make sure you come out ahead.

I know. That's it.

Hey, Koike. You're going to redeem yourself then.

Miss, thanks for this.

I'm glad.

Good night.

- Good night. - Be careful.

Here you go.

Oh, Ryu-san.

- Go upstairs quickly. - Why?

- She says she's sick. - Sick?

Really sick?

She's waiting for you. So go.

Ofuji?

Hold on.

Come in.

- How are you feeling? - Come in.

I'm just pretending. So come in.

Quickly.

Come here.

You're not sick?

Here.

There are times

when I just can't stand

entertaining a man I can't stand.

I see.

I can imagine.

- Take care, then. - No!

Not you.

Why do you only come to talk to me?

I'm a prostitute.

So you can...

I don't want to.

Strange man.

You can do what you want with me.

Good night.

Ibuki!

Ibuki. Hey, Ibuki.

You're wanted by the boss. Go.

Ryuma's coming.

- Go in the back? - This is fine.

Hello.

- You wanted me? - Yes, Ryuma.

You heard we'll have a branch office in Shibaura

Yes.

I want you to be the manager.

What?

Me?

You'll do it?

- I'm non qualified... - You'll do fine.

It's time you handled a responsible job.

If you keep going like this,

you'll end up as just a ruffian.

- But, Boss... - It's settled then.

Isn't that great?

I don't know...

HEY, Ryuma.

- Aya's in love with you. - What?

Oh, no. Dad, how could you!

Hey, I'm depending on you.

Hey.

Oh, Tatsu.

- Is Ryu-san here? - He's inside.

Brother? Unusual guests.

Oh, Tatsu and you guys! What is it?

What a greeting.

I heard you opened an office in Shibaura.

We couldn't just ignore it.

Will you hire us?

- But you work for Shishido. - Don't worry.

We're just daily hire dock laborers.

- It's fine. - Okay.

Come in and rest.

Hey!

You stink.

You're so dirty.

The pay's not much here.

Everyone said I should come work for you.

- Will you let me? - Sure thing.

But not like this. Can you take care of him?

Sure thing.

Hey!

He's my old buddy.

Ryu-san, you were a beggar?

Yeah, he took good care of me.

So be good to him.

Hi, everyone. I'm Boshu.

Where are you going?

- To the wharf. - For what?

Hey, be tactful.

Hey, be tactful.

This place...

I like it because it reminds me of Fukagawa.

You used to live in Fukagawa?

Yes, for six years.

I was sixteen then.

I went to work for a bar.

- At sixteen? - Yes.

Where has all the time gone?

I drank, flirted with men...

“Wing!

Priest!

I stopped by because was in Shinagawa.

You're beginning to look like a responsible man.

Not very likely.

What? She's a dead ringer.

Priest...

You look like her.

You look like Ryuma's mother.

What?

I'm the priest of Zenpukuji temple.

You really look like her.

I see.

I look like his mother...

Yes, very much. Like twins.

Excuse me.

I'm leaving.

“Wing!

Don't just stand there.

Go after her.

You made her angry?

How do I look like her?

Eyes...

Mouth... everything.

It's a lie.

Your mother is not a filthy whore like me.

I'm not angry.

Even though I do what I do

when you look at me...

I found something I can't put my finger on.

I'm fortunate.

As long as I'm alive, I won't forget you.

You're still very young.

Even if you found your dream woman,

since I'm that kind of woman,

you won't make me yours.

Poor man.

Listen. Close your eyes.

Close your eyes, please.

Say it. Say Ma.

Mi...

Ryuma...

Ryuma.

I love you.

Hello.

Welcome.

You have a message from Boss?

Dad told me to come take care of you all.

That's not good.

This is no place for you.

Oh, this is Dad's branch office.

I'm the Boss' daughter.

Since I was born a woman,

the only way I can be of use is to take care of you.

That's great.

- Painful for me. - Why?

It wouldn't do if I fell in love with you.

Right, Brother?

Fool. Don't forget you're a beggar.

But I'm beholden to this beggar.

Miss. Tell Boss when you get back.

This men-only place,

doesn't need a woman's touch.

Please. Right everyone?

Ryuma? I won't leave.

Dad would be angry with me.

Is this your room, Ryuma?

Here you go.

I'll see you home.

I'm not going home.

That's not good.

There's no place for you to sleep.

Don't worry. There is.

I give up.

Listen, Ryuma.

What Dad said...

What?

Remember? He said I was...

He was joking, right?

- He wasn't. - What?

Didn't you see me blush?

Good night.

Wait Miss. Where are you going to sleep?

I made a place in the attic.

No, that's not good. Then I'll take the attic.

Wait. Miss.

- Good night. - Good night.

Tokyo officials are terrible.

They know Tsukljlma is your territory

yet they put in a bid.

I'm not going to abide by this.

Whatever happens, Sakamoto won't get it.

Let's go, Brother.

Thank you, Mr. Sakuma.

Mr. Sakamato, this water project is vital...

we're building the lifeline of Tokyo.

That's why we made this bid fair.

- I'm counting on you. - Yes, I know.

I'll do my best.

Thank you.

Boss!

Boss. Don't die.

MISS.

- Doctor, my father... - He's all right.

Dad.

Be quiet.

Don't shout.

He said it's not life threatening.

. HQ" “Yuma - Y“? -?

They got me before they got you.

They made a mistake in the order.

So now you have to do this job as if your life depended on it.

What?

- Aya, is that all right? - Yes.

Please.

- But, Boss, who shot you? - Let that be.

For the people downtown

who don't have clean drinking water.

I staked my life on getting this job for them.

You understand, don't you, Ryuma?

Yes.

I'll do it.

Everyone.

- Will you work with me? - Yes.

- You might get killed. - Sure thing.

All right Boss. We'll do it.

Thank you. Thank you.

We'll need 15 at 289. Twenty at 245.

That's the size of it.

We'll have to transport that many pipes in a month.

Everyone. Can we do it?

But with the men we have now...

That's where you're wrong.

You just have to work twice as hard.

- What? - That's right.

- We work day and night. - No sleep?

You used to beg for a living.

If you get sleepy, you sleep wherever you are.

Hey, you might get killed.

- That was the promise. - That might be...

I bet the Iwasa group will try to sabotage us.

Well... that's...

You see.

But you can't worry about things like that.

- You can't work otherwise. - You're right.

If that happens, the cops will come.

We're not afraid of yakuza.

If we go one to one, we'll win. Right?

If push comes to shove, we kill Iwasa.

- Then the group will disband. - He's right.

Then no one will stand in our way.

I see.

Hey, we have a guest.

I'm Koike, Iwasa family, Is Ibuki here?

Hey, Koike. What's up?

We need to talk. Come out with me.

Brother. Don't go.

Brother...

Idiot. It's all right.

I'll tell you later.

Hey, you have influence.

Tell Sakamoto to withdraw from this water project.

I know it's asking a lot.

But Tsukljlma has been Iwasa territory for generations.

Then suddenly, it's handed over to the Sakamoto family...

And that's why you shot my boss?

What?

- Don't act innocent. - Hold on a minute.

I don't know anything about it. Please believe me.

I've been deputized to work here in Tsukijima.

You?

I promised my boss.

Even if you're my adversary, I won't back down.

Koike...

In the army, we went against unreasonable officers

and were thrown in the brig many times.

Have you forgotten that spirit?

- Yakuza are... - Hold on.

But now I'm part of the family's organization.

If that's your position, then I'm leaving.

Ibuki. Even so, we're war buddies.

Until death.

- Ryuma. - Yes?

Why don't you take a break?

Everyone's working hard. I can't take it easy.

- Is it going well? - Yes, it's fine.

I hear the Iwasas are causing a lot of trouble.

Miss. Don't worry too much.

I'll get it.

Hello. Yes, it's me. What?

- Let me go! - Wait.

I know who did this. It was the Iwasa men.

I caught one of them.

Did you kill him?

Several more came out of the darkness.

Look at my face.

Damn them.

Wait.

There's nothing to be done now.

The trucks...

If we don't have trucks, we can't work.

Damn.

They burned the trucks.

Where's Brother going?

To Boss' house.

- I guess we don't have money. - I think you're right.

If we could somehow come up with one-third of the money...

Shall we talk to the others?

I'm sorry. Our precious trucks...

- Boss... - Stop.

You're the boss.

Mr. Sakuma, who's the City's head of construction,

just inquired how the job was progressing.

Meaning, will we finish on time.

Boss.

I said, you're the boss.

Now that the trucks are gone...

You can't continue.

So.

I'm thinking of handing over this job to Iwasa.

I won't do it.

- No? - Of course not.

They don't care about the people who live downtown.

They're ruffians, and underhanded. It's all money.

Now that they've done this, I want to finish it even more.

Ryuma. Well said.

- Are you okay with this? - Yes.

This is the deed to this house.

I don't know if this is enough.

But go sell this house.

- Boss. - Idiot!

I keep saying the boss is you.

Boss.

I'm counting on you.

Good morning.

Hey, wait a second.

Is it true they burned your trucks?

So you were concerned?

Of course. We're all fans of Ryu-san.

You keep talking about Ryu-san.

What about me?

If you sell yourself, it'll help us.

Hey, don't say that.

But if you have money to lend, we'd be grateful.

I get it. You're pawning those.

Bye.

Ryu-san must be in a real bind.

Ibuki.

I understand the situation.

Then, Manager. You'll let us continue?

I don't understand this talk about a man's job

and staking your life.

But I'm struck by your passion and zeal for the job.

If the job's further delayed, I'll be held responsible.

But that's all right.

I'm going to throw my lot in with you.

I'm betting on your indomitable spirit.

I'll do it.

Otaka. This is Ofuji.

Don't you think she looks like you?

Ever since he met her,

Ryuma's working very hard.

Isn't that good?

Mother. Er... no.

I wanted to be able to call you that.

But we met too late.

A woman like me can't hold a candle to you.

Forgive me.

Ibuki finally wore down the construction manager.

They've gotten new trucks. He's determined to do this.

Boss.

The whole of Tokyo is focused on this project.

If we keep up the interference

- the Iwasa reputation... - Shut up.

It was you who gave Ibuki the chance.

We have to really take him down.

- Hey, Koike. You... - Oh, yeah.

We have a promise.

I'm going through with this.

- I'm back. - Welcome back.

- Ryuma. - Priest.

You're working hard.

Yesterday was Mom's death anniversary.

Did you say the sutra for her?

You remembered. I'm impressed.

Of course I did. Without being paid.

Priest.

If you're here for payment,

I won't be able to pay for a while.

Ryuma.

Accept this without saying a word.

What is this?

Why are you giving me such a large sum of money?

When I discussed it with the Buddha,

he said he didn't mind being poor

so I brought it here.

Priest.

I can't accept it.

- I won't let you... - Silence!

There's a limit to what one person can do.

The Buddha only shows mercy

to people who are doing their best.

That's you.

Take it.

This will help.

MISS.

Could you hold on to this?

- Yes. - Thank you.

Is something wrong?

Nothing.

Why are you going so far away?

No matter where I go,

it's the same work the world over.

But Manchuria...

Ofuji. I know.

To save Ryuma...

Don't cry.

I'm happy to be going.

I had given up hope

- but when I met him... - You fell in love.

Sometimes, it hurt.

But I was so happy I could cry.

This...

Give it to Ryuma.

You're so...

See? I wasn't a bad woman.

Hey!

Ryu-san, it's Dokuganryu.

All together?

Was there a beggar's convention?

Fool.

We can't ignore the plight of our best success.

- So you're here to help? - That's right.

They're all strong and can work.

You don't have to worry about feeding them or lodging them.

- Thanks. - Then get ready.

RWY“ a?

You said Ofuji was the name

of the woman who looked like your mother.

So?

Go return this money to her.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

The priest said I mustn't tell you.

Such a large sum.

Ofuji must be going far away.

Go. Quickly.

Thank you, Miss.

Hello.

Is Ofuji in?

She's gone.

Where?

Manchuria.

Manchuria?

You can't go after her.

She's a fool.

She's acting like she's your mother.

She even made a kimono for you.

Take it.

You keep it for me.

Take care of it.

You couldn't see her.

What now?

Nothing.

Why not? Where did she go?

Manchuria.

Manchuria?

Brother!

- How was it? - It's tonight.

Shishido men are gathering at Iwasa.

All right.

Don't say anything.

- Don't follow me. - But, Brother.

Shut up.

Hey. Gather 'round.

MED.

Let's call it a night.

We have to take a break sometime.

- That's won't do. - We won't make the deadline.

It's all right. We now have more men.

Leave the business worry to me and go get some rest.

Let's do what Brother says. Even I'm a bit tired.

- I guess we are tired. - Let's get some rest.

Okay. Let's do as he says.

Ryu-san, can we sleep here?

No, you mustn't.

Come to our lodgings. We'll put you up.

They're stinky but they're my former comrades.

Please?

- Brother? - I'm counting on you.

Ryuma? Something's happening.

Tell me.

Miss. I don't want to worry the boss.

You understand, don't you?

Yes.

- So push has come to shove. - What?

I'll go settle this.

Alone?

Yes. I can be replaced.

I'll fix this.

“Wing!

Don't tell anyone.

Miss?

Please remember

you once loved a fool like me.

Bye.

Boss.

They've taken the night off. The site is empty.

- What? - So now what?

Boss. All you want is Ibuki dead, right?

Yeah.

Then I'll go call him out.

Are you sure?

Let's go. Everyone, let's go.

Koike. Get out of the way.

Ibuki. Don't throw your life away.

Don't make me laugh.

I did this for you.

- If you don't go... - Then they'll wait in vain?

That's right.

Everyone's going to buy it sometime.

- I'm settling this alone. - Ibuki!

You...

I know I'm a fool. Get out of the way.

I won't.

I'm going to kill you.

Is that stupid yakuza obligation?

Well?

- Come at me. - All right.

I'll kill you.

Don't underestimate me.

Ibuki.

Take it.

What?

Only small fry?

Iwasa.

Come out if you're here.

Shishido. Come out.

This is tiresome.

Come out all of you.

Damn.

THE END
