Soon I will have completed this diary.

This is the third one I complete\nafter coming to England.

I'm supposed to be returning

to Hong Kong after the\ngraduation this year,

but my plans must be changed now.

My whole life has changed...

All these changes have been\ncaused by one man.

YAMADA GROUP

I have been with Master a long time\nbut now he's gone.

I have many regrets.

I have already arranged the funeral.

I hope you will bury Master in person.

Thank you.

I thank you all.

Nidaime. I'm sorry to\ndisturb you in your grief.

There is an urgent matter\nwhich I have to inform you of.

Our organization in England...

and the other headquarters in Europe

are prosperous because of Master's hard work.

Even though you are only his adopted son,

you should become his successor.

Nidaime, I know you are full of sorrow.

but you'd better take over\nour gang business soon.

The task will help you\nto get through the grief.

Thank you for your concern.

I only want to know\nhow my Father died.

Though I was only his adopted son,

he was the most important\nperson to me.

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today.

I want revenge.

Uncle Yoshikawa, please tell me.

How did my Father die?

We had a meeting

with some people from China that day.

Hung Pa, I asked you here\nto settle your affairs.

I do have money but I don't want to pay you.

You refuse to pay?

These agreements never pleased us.

You squeezed us out!

You are too much! You don't work according to our rules.

What do you want?!

Master! Master!

Master!

So they were the ones who did it.

I wanted to take revenge at once.

But I felt it better to wait for your return.

I await your order.

Nidaime,

I know how you feel.

Eko.

You've always been beside Master.

Now, Nidaime is the master.

Eko,

you are to take care of him now,

and to inform me about\nwhat is happening.

- Understood? - Yes.

BE HEROIC

It's your turn now. Do your best.

Go ahead, Young Master.

BE HEROIC

Young Master, have some tea.

Since you left here to study,

your father talked about you all the time.

He was particularly happy\nwhen he got your letters.

He had me read them with him.

We read them over and over again.

Master's greatest wish was

to see you graduate\nand then get married.

But he will never see that now.

Uncle Fu...

My father always stayed\naway from gang businesses.

And I will do the same.

Uncle Fu...

...retire. Take this as your pension.

Young Master, I can't take this money.

I must go on serving you.

Uncle Fu, please take it.

I have to take care of important business.

When it is done, I will leave this place.

But, Young Master...

I want some peace.

Tanaka, Suzuki! Fight! -Yes!

Give it to me.

Yes.

Nidaime.

Ask him to start.

Please put on your mask.

No need. Ask him to fight! - Yes!

- Fight! - Yes!

- Ken, your turn! - Yes!

Chinese Sword Style.

Please fight again!

Ken! Ken! Are you hurt? Is it serious?

- Let go of me! - Ken!

Please fight again!

- Ken! - Please fight again!

Please fight again!

Enough.

Nidaime is in a bad mood today. But it will pass.

Continue with your practice. - Yes!

- Put on your visors! - Yes!

Ken! Let me look at you.

- Does it hurt, Brother? - I'm fine. Leave me alone!

Ken!

I am not a kid anymore!

Ken, I want you to leave the Gang. You should have a normal occupation.

Why do you think I've been financing\nyour studies after father's death?

You have absolutely no idea, do you?!

Listen to me. - You listen to me!

I have already studied hard.

I want to lead a normal life,

but everyone knows my\nsister is a member of this gang.

Do you know how they treat me?

They blame me for everything...

just because my sister is\na member of the gang!

They mistreat me even\nwhen I do no wrong.

Since that is how it is, I might as well join the gang.

And you know, Sister...

There must be good people in the gang,\notherwise you wouldn't have joined.

Am I right?

At your service, Master.

I am Ishikawa Ken, fifth generation\nmember of the Yamada gang.

Please be my teacher.

Sister, I will try my very best.

You will see me get the highest honour.

Believe me Eko, believe me!

Come on, I'll carry you. - Ken! No!

We will win the gold medal!

I will find the others. Soon I will have more information.

I've prepared the things you need.

I want to take a walk. Let me off somewhere.

Here I am. - Hello.

I'm sorry.

You! You are too much!

It's raining heavily. I rushed all the way here.

I told you not to waste\ntime on photography.

But it's my hobby!

Please buy a raffle ticket sir. - Help the poor children.

A ticket for the raffle?

Here, is my I.D.

We're raising funds for the International Children's Fund.

Thanks.

Mak Fai will be in Hyde Park tomorrow.

Keung, don't run so fast. You might fall.

Master!

Quick! After him!

Boss, the car is ready.

Let's go over there.

Sure. There's lot's of good stuff there.

Please take a seat.

We meet here today... - Uncle Pa!

How fortunate.

You're looking for me? What do you want, Lung?

Uncle Pa, two of your men\nwere killed recently.

My senior is very\ninterested in this case.

He hopes you remain level-headed

and don't act too rashly.

You know I respect you. That's why I came to tell you this.

Of course, inspector. I know what to do.

I'll keep my eyes open. - Thanks.

Okay, you all heard that.

So many things have happened recently,

but we still don't know\nwho killed our people.

However, it is clear that\nit was the Japanese.

Chan Ben killed their boss,

and now they want to take revenge.

This Chan Ben is a lousy guy.

He's the cause for it all.

Uncle Pa, you brought him to us. What should we do?

We should call him back and fix it\nso that we are in the clear.

I object. It's because of this that Uncle Pa sent him to Manchester.

If you let him come back now,\nthe situation will become worse.

Anyway, until we get real evidence,

we mustn't suspect the Japanese.

Before their boss was killed,\nwe did a lot of businesses with them.

We had a good relationship.

Now all this trouble has started.

We must get out there and check\nto see who we have upset.

We mustn't forget that\nthe killer is still in London.

Wait and see who the next victim is.

What should we do then?

Master! Master!

Quick, chase him!

Bye! - Goodbye!

Hey, you!

Do you know him?

What do you want?

I want to know who he is! - Let go of me!

Let go of her!

Miss, please come along\nto the station.

Please tell me:

Do you know who that man is?

What is his name? Where does he live?

I don't know. I only met him by chance.

Miss, please co-operate.

Somebody saw you call after\nhim as he ran past.

No! When did I talk with him? I don't know him at all.

We won't let him get away. - Yes.

Don't think that you're helping him.

You're in great danger.

This man is a killer.

He could kill you any minute.

Can I go now?

Don't hurry, I still have questions to ask.

I do not understand. Why do you protect the murderer?

I've already told you, I don't know him.

I wouldn't even recognize\nhim on the street.

I don't believe you!

Tell me who he is!

Inspector,

you'd better not threaten me,\notherwise I will sue you.

Sorry. Let me see you out.

I would like to know this as well. Get lost!

Do you want me to see you in?

No, thanks.

If there is a problem,\ncall me immediately.

I know you're here.

Come out.

I knew that you would come

to kill me eventually.

I saw you shoot that man.

I don't care why you killed him.

I just hope that I didn't\nprotect the wrong person.

Why did you help me?

I do what I want. Nobody forces me to do anything.

What is important to you?

What do you still want to\ndo before you die?

Tell me.

- I'm rehearsing for a dance performance. - I know.

It's to raise funds for orphans.

I've rehearsed this dance for a long time. I really want to perform it.

- Do you understand this? - Why not do it now?

Then you could fulfil your wish\nand I could make a donation to the orphans.

What do you think?

Shit! Idiot! - Sorry.

That's for stepping on me!

What happened to that old git Pa?

He got killed.

Do you know who did it?

A girl saw the murderer.

- Oh? - We have her address.

So what are we waiting for? To the girl's house now!

Yes!

Old bastard deserved it

for sending me to Manchester.

Go and see if she's in. - Yes.

Down!

Run! Quick!

Are you okay? - Get the car!

Yes.

- Hello, inspector. - Where do you think you're going?

Where is Chan Ben?

Inspector! - Don't get in my way!

Inspector!

Chan Ben!

Chan Ben. Co-operate and tell\nme who the murderer is.

Why were you there? Why did he shoot you?

If not for your boss, I would have\narrested you a long time ago!

I want to know who he is. I've got two bullets in me!

When I find evidence, I'll arrest you! You're going to prison.

Inspector, do your worst!

Don't be smart. I'll get you one day.

Be careful, because\nnobody can protect you.

Follow him, he will\nlead us to the girl.

Yes, sir.

Why did you bring her here?

This could be dangerous.

This was master's favourite place.

Even the men don't know about it.

It was unwise.

Because I trust her.

Boss. The Japanese asked\nus to come here.

Will there be trouble?

Take it easy.

Boss.

Why aren't they here? Shall I get the guns ready?

How are you, Mr. Yoshikawa?

Chan Ben...

...you've changed.

You look good. Very healthy.

There's an old Chinese saying:

''Total difference after three days''

It's very true.

You're very kind.

Let's speak frankly.

If we hadn't had those\nold bastards killed,

we wouldn't have this opportunity.

Assume control in Chinatown.

The Yamada gang is strong and rich,

with branches all over the world.

Together, we could make a lot of money.

We have our own aeroplanes,\nso transportation is no problem.

They say that the one who killed\nour bosses is a professional.

He's the son of our old master. You've seen him.

Have I?

He's the one who shot you.

So it's him! Where is he? - Calm down!

You should be grateful to him\nfor killing the old bosses.

Of course, he has to die.

He is a danger\nto the whole organization.

We will kill him. - Let me do it!

I'll take care of him.

I owe him two bullets.

Wait for good news.

All politicians and entrepreneurs

like to appear charitable.

But what do they really do?

They exploit these poor countries\nand make immeasurable profits.

They are without scruples.

How can the Yamada gang make profit?

From drug trafficking.

We have a relationship\nwith the Chinese gangs.

Now is the time to make the\nmost of this opportunity.

Yoshikawa, the late master was

against this kind of business when\nhe was alive. Don't you remember?

Right. I'm against it.

I'm for it. How can we\nlive without money?

Mr Yoshikawa, your call.

Yoshikawa. Who is this?

Mrs. Suzuki. What is it?

Yes, he is here. Please hold on.

Mr. Suzuki. She wants to speak to you.

Hello, what is it?

Our son's been kidnapped?

Suzuki, anything I can do to help?

Friends, we must vote now.

Those who agree with my suggestion...

...put your hand on the table.

Gentlemen. Sorry to keep you waiting.

I invited you here\nto discuss a lucrative project.

What project? - Tell us.

Before Uncle Pa died, our business\nbarely covered our expenses.

We must reform and expand\nour influence.

What is your suggestion?

Yeah, what's your big idea? - Make it clear.

We should co-opperate with the Japanese to control the drug market.

Drug trafficking? It's too dangerous.

We shouldn't do this.

Shut up!

I'm asking you to sell it,\nnot to take it yourselves.

This will just cause harm in Chinatown. - He's right!

I object!

Anybody else wanna object?

Is he badly injured? - How is he? Is it serious?

Wow!

I am glad that you're not badly injured.

I have good luck!

Who is that guy?

He doesn't look like a killer.

After all, he brought you to hospital.

Right. How is the charity show going?

It'll be canceled without you.

Really? - Yeah.

Let's discuss it later. Time flies. It's another year now..

I've been fooling around\nlonger than you, right?

I got you an overcoat. - Thanks.

And Christmas cards from Hong Kong.

Do your family know about your injury?

No, I don't want them to worry.

Aren't you going back to Hong Kong soon?

We could fly together.

My brother lives in Canada.

He flies home once a year.

My mother is waiting for me.

I'm not going back now.

I'll change the water for you.

Don't worry, everything will be all right.

I'll be expecting you at the\ncountry house in Greenwich.

Inform the boss. - Yeah.

The girl got into a taxi. What should we do?

Follow her, of course.

But the police are behind her.

Then kills the cops\nand bring the girl here!

Get out! Out!

It's not her!

Leave me alone! - Bring her anyway.

Let me go! - Get out!

So, you won't talk?

Nidaime, here! - Dad!

I knew you would come.

What makes you think I won't betray you?

If you wanted to,\nyou already would have.

You are a professional killer?

What would you do\nif your father was murdered?

My adoptive father was Japanese. He was head of the Yamada gang.

He really spoiled me.

After he adopted me, he hired\na Chinese to take care of me

in case I had trouble settling\ninto my new life.

I was well cared for and provided\nwith a good education.

Although he was head of a gang,

he kept me away from it,\nso that I wouldn't

get involved with gang business.

I was sent to France to study.

Then one day I received\nnews of his murder.

So I hurried back.

After taking care of things here...

...I will go away.

I'll forget everything...

...and start a new life.

Why do you tell me\nthis only now, Eko?

You should have informed me immediately!

Didn't I say that?

In Chinatown they are saying

that they must kill Nidaime.

It's a serious problem.

We received orders from\nheadquarters in Japan

regarding Nidaime and the girl.

They must be killed.

Headquarters have sent a team of killers,

but I have made it clear to them...

...that we will solve our own problems.

I know how you feel,

but we cannot ignore an\norder from headquarters.

- But... - Say no more!

Have the two of them killed at once.

But wouldn't it be...

- It is an order! - Yes.

Ken, I must talk to you.

I know. You want me to\nleave the Yamada gang.

It doesn't suit you at all.

Doesn't it?

You mean it suits you?

Since master's death,\nthere have been changes.

Things are very different now.

Nothing has changed.

You just refuse to see it.

Do you know who killed Master?

I don't want to know.

He had already been assassinated...

...by the time I joined the gang.

Since then, only Yoshikawa\nlooks highly on me.

I respect him.

He has my absolute obedience!

What if Yoshikawa killed Master?

What then?

Maybe, one day, I will kill Yoshikawa?

If anyone betrays our organisation...

...I'll kill them without hesitation.

Headquarters in Japan have ordered us...

...to kill Nidaime and that girl.

They have sent a team of killers,

but I have made it clear to them\nthat we solve our own problems.

We must take care of this. Kill them both. At once!

Carmen!

Come on!

No, don't!

They are Chan Ben's people.

They killed the girl.

Carmen!

Carmen!

Chan Ben and our organisation

have a secret relationship.

Tell me about it.

First, you should know...

...that Yoshikawa sent\nme to kill you.

Kill me? Why?

Because you control our organisation.

If you die, he will be in charge.

There's one thing I haven't told you...

Chan Ben and Yoshikawa...

...are the ones who killed Master.

We've always worked well together,\nbut I've just found out

that in your organisation are\nsome drug traffickers.

It could harm the reputation\nof the Yamada organisation.

That's bullshit!

You're framing us, but you Japanese are drug traffickers!

Shut up, Chan Ben!

You're wrong to frame us!

My friend, I will check if it's true.

I won't let our friendship fade.

We are against drugs, too.

I'll check carefully...

and let you know what I find out.

Okay, Pa. I trust you.

Master, I think there will\nbe trouble in China Town...

...if we work with the Chinese.

When I heard the shot, I rushed in...

and saw Yoshikawa and Chan Ben.

I'm almost done. Go on, Chan Ben! Run!\nand saw Yoshikawa and Chan Ben.

Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa...

At that time, Master wasn't dead.

I never thought that Yoshikawa\ncould have done it.

Master!

Why do you tell me only now?

I was thinking of leaving the gang...

but my brother had just joined.

I was worried that Yoshikawa would harm him...

...so I kept quiet.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! - You're late!

I'm sorry. Stop doing that!

Look, our bikes!

My brother will also be spending New Year in Hong Kong.

My mother will be expecting us.

Did the boys return from the farmhouse?

Not yet, boss.

Is that guy really so hard to deal with?

I can't go anywhere until he's dead!

How are the turnovers on our\ndrug market in Manchester?

Not bad, boss.

- And in Liverpool? - Good as well.

Once we kill the Japanese...

...we'll control the U.K. drug market.

Where is Chan Ben?

Where is Chan Ben?! - Here I am!

- You idiot! - I only want to help, boss.

Idiot, the target is over there. Over there!

Do you want to die?

You trod on me again!

Come out!

Come out!

Come out! Come ou-!

I've been looking for you, kid.

I still owe you two bullets.

Two of us killed your father. Me and Yoshikawa.

The people you killed were innocent.

We fooled you! You're such an idiot!

You're more stupid than a pig!

Those old bastards were useless.

Even if we hadn't killed them,\nthey were useless.

Shoot! I dare you! Go on!

We'll each fire a shot!

You shoot first. Go on. Shoot, quick!

Shoot!

Nidaime...

Nidaime...

I have a request.

Will you promise me that you\nwill spare my brother?

He is the only family I have. Please don't kill him.

Ken!

Don't try to stop me, sister.

Nidaime, I have orders\nfrom the organisation.

I must kill you!

Ken!

Ken, Yoshikawa is using you!

This is my chance.

I'll obtain the highest honor\nif I fulfill this task.

Ken!

Out of my way. Don't block me!

Nidaime, fight me.

Nidaime, they say that\nyou're hard to beat.

Why won't you fight me?

Stop!

Nidaime, are you afraid?

No, leave him to me!

Get up. We are by\nno means finished yet.

Do you remember? You beat me\nhard in the gym that time.

Since then, I've been\nstriving to beat you.

But today is different. You might still beat me.

I owe you for that beating. This is a matter of honor.

Fight back.

He is the only family I have. Please don't kill him.

You won't fight back? I can make you fight me.

I've just been to the farmhouse,\nbut you weren't there.

What did you do to the girl? Tell me!

I've taken her back to headquarters. To Yoshikawa.

Ken. Ken!

Why did you kill him?

My... my brother was beyond help.

Thanks for killing the mad dog\nof Chinatown for me.

He must have told you many things. Like how we conspired...

...to kill your father.

Where is the girl?

What?

You're only here because of the girl?

I thought you'd come here to\navenge your father.

I never would have imagined it.

I wouldn't be foolish enough\nto die for a girl.

Bastard. It's a good\nthing master is dead.

If he saw you doing all\nthis for a girl,

and not for revenge...

What would he think?

This is nonsense. Where is the girl?

I can tell you...

...but your manner of asking is wrong.

I'll teach you.

I want you to kneel...

...and kowtow to me.

What? Don't you want to save her?

I must see Master's son

kneel down and kowtow for me.

You shall kneel!

Kneel down.

You won't kneel?

We'll see how stubborn you are.

Your girl is here.

I haven't laid a hand on her,

but I can't speak for my men.

If you want to take her with you...

...just kneel and beg me.

You can do it.

Kneel down!

Immediately!

Don't! You mustn't do it!

No!

Are you okay? - It hurts so much!

Yoshikawa! What do you want from me?

You killed my father and used me\nto get rid of your enemies.

What more do you want?!

I'll show you that everyone,

even Master,\nkneels in front of me.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Unclu Fu.

You damn bastard!

How dare you do\nthis to young Master.

Master has just died!

I respected you when Master was alive,

but things are different now.

You and Nidaime must kneel before me.

No! Never!

Never? We'll see about that!

Uncle Fu!

Uncle Fu!

Uncle Fu!

Uncle Fu!

Uncle Fu!

Uncle Fu!

Young Master, I can't serve you anymore.

I know.

Uncle Fu.

Your family is dead.

Now it's your turn.

Everyone stand back.

I don't want to kill you. I only want him.

Whoever kills Nidaime will be rich. Very rich!

Do you remember long ago...

...Master had this gym\nbuilt for you?

The calligraphy and everything else

was crafted by Master,\nwith his own hands.

So, Nidaime, to die here today\nwould suit you perfectly.

Nidaime, I've already given you a chance.

Now I will kill you!

Now, Yoshikawa...

...we must settle our dispute!

BE HEROIC

Merry Christmas!

I've waited two Christmases for you.

Now I am free.
