"Confucius said,
'At 15, I set my heart to learning.'"

-"Confucius said..."
-"Confucius said..."

"At 15..."

"At fifth-moo!"

Quit goofing around.

I don't like this.

I told you, I can't learn Chinese.

Anyone who talks like that
won't get a shoulder ride.

He's coming home?

He says he'll be working in Japan again.

Why don't we pay him a surprise visit?

What?
I don't care about that kind of thing.

COURTHOUSE

She by no means

committed this crime for selfish gain.

There are plenty
of extenuating circumstances.

Please give a lenient sentence.

Makoto, you're always saying
the same thing.

-Come on, say the thing from earlier.
-No way.

Were you saying I look super cool
when I'm working?

I didn't!

Stop working all the time

and come home once in a while.

Hey, that's what you want to say?

-I suddenly got annoyed.
-Let me copy Dad.

"Always be lawful.

Contribute to the world.

-Be a respectable person."
-Be a respectable person.

Will you become a lawyer like your dad?

I don't like studying.

Well, what's more important
than studying is morals.

I'm tired of hearing that too.

You never change.

OZAKI

...suspected of human trafficking of minors.

So tired.

-About the parent-teacher meeting...
-Members of an organized crime group,

Suzaku Association, were arrested.

Tsuneo Tajima,

Junya Ishii of the same association,

and lawyer Seiji Ozaki.

The trio tricked minors
who were illegal aliens

and are suspected of having sold them
to overseas buyers.

Ozaki, a principal offender,

would use his position as a lawyer
as a means of supporting the scheme.

ANGEL OF LUCK AND HER MERRY FRIENDS
COLLECT ALL 5

KOZAKURA HOSPITAL

Are you used to your job?

Yes. The president says
I'm cut out for it.

Here, have this.

What set is it this time?

I thought I'd try to get
the Angel of Luck.

Is this an angel?

Well, that must be the wizard.

Too bad. I got a lousy prize.
It's one of her pals.

You can't have it.

I like it. I'll have him use magic
to cure me, and while he's at it,

clear your father of the misunderstanding.

Accept it already.

He's a loser criminal.

-But--
-Then why doesn't he come to visit you?

He served his sentence and was released!

He ran off.

Just forget about him.

Do you know
what's more important than morals?

To have a forgiving heart.

I'm happy now.

What more can I ask for?

There's no way...

she was happy.

Here's the bacon and egg burger
you wanted.

How long do you plan on staying here?

Until I can save all of them.

What if they refuse?

I'll drag them out by force.

But it sounds like
it'll take a while to prep for it.

That's unusual.

What? Oh, this.

I've got to fit in here.

-You all right?
-What?

What do you mean?

You've been working here pretty long.

Don't you worry.

There's no way I'll be joining the mafia.

Later.

Yes?

Oh, good morning.

What?

The chairman wants to see me?

Like I thought,
she's taken a liking to you.

You're sharp,

and even though you look timid,
you've got guts.

I bet she likes
that you served time as well.

I wonder what it's about.

-To be her evening companion, perhaps.
-What?

I'm just kidding.

Jeez.

I heard you can speak Chinese.

Yes, ma'am. Just a little.

You did great negotiating in Hong Kong.

Well, I could use English then too.

But I learned classical Chinese,
so it might sound funny.

I'll have you translate.

-What?
-Translate?

-The Shanghai guys are coming.
-Are you serious?

Shanghai Longhu-bang.

Shanghai Longhu-bang?

The Chinese mafia.

They were originally
a subordinate organization

we built in China.

They're still supposed to be.

We used gangs of Chinese hoodlums

to establish a dummy trading company
called "Shanghai Trading."

All these guys knew
were the old ways of the countryside.

We taught them from scratch
new methods to run their business.

With the boom in the Chinese economy,

they were earning more money than us
in no time.

Then they went public
without even asking permission,

completely ignoring us,
and became independent.

Their boss, Liu, is a celebrity
in Shanghai's financial circles now.

The chairman must be pretty upset.

I'll say. She's ready to explode over it.

Last year, we reached out
to a Russian arms dealer.

To be perfectly honest,
we're on the verge of war.

So, are they here to finally apologize?

I doubt it.

I find it unlikely
this will settle things.

You must be kidding.

-Liu's not even here.
-What?

Only his right-hand man Chen came.

It's been a while, Mr. Ishigami.

Welcome.
Thank you for coming all this way.

Give it to me.
A token of appreciation.

This is a gift of civet cat coffee beans.

It's not much,
but we hope you all enjoy it.

Thank you for your generosity.

This way, please.
The chairman is waiting upstairs.

Go ahead.

Hey, quit daydreaming.

Yes, sir.

Jeez.

This is the gift we received
from Shanghai, civet cat coffee.

I don't drink coffee.

You've got the makeup caked on thick
as usual, you old hag.

It's lovely to see you doing so well,

the great Lady Akemi, Empress of Japan.

You're an ugly thief.

Edamura, translate.

Oh, right.

We welcome you.

Who's that?

You, interpreter, are far worse than
that giant idiot there.

That's why we've got our own interpreter.

So, why isn't Liu here?

Our sincerest apologies.
Liu suddenly fell ill.

I asked for Liu.

This matter is none of your concern.

Mr. Liu said

-that the trip to Japan--
-Silence!

Your voice is annoying.

Chen, was it?

I'm sure it's pointless to tell you,

but Shanghai Trading is my company.

If you want to continue
doing business in Shanghai,

you'll have to pay us
80 percent of a year's revenue.

You think I'll give in to your threats,
you old hag?

We've been doing well
even without your help!

He says, "We're the ones
who grew the organization so big."

What a moron.

You only succeeded
because you had our support.

Listen up, Shanghai fellow.
The VIPs of the world

do business with the Tokyo Suzaku
Association because they trust our name.

Quit feeding your ego
believing it's anything else but that.

You upstart country bumpkin.

I have no idea what you're saying.

It's only going to get worse now.

Well, isn't this exciting?

Mr. Ishigami!

That guy...

the interpreter, who is he?

The interpreter?

He's a pretty old guy
who goes by the name "Oz."

Oz...

He was originally Japanese.

FUCHU PRISON

If I remember correctly,

he was a lawyer who also
worked as a human trafficking broker.

But he screwed up and got caught.

He kept silent while serving his time

and got picked up by the Shanghai bunch
to be their lawyer and interpreter.

Who knows why they wanted him.

What? I must have forgotten my lighter.

Hey!

I need a light.

Japanese fall is very beautiful.

But nothing compared
to your beauty, ladies.

Show me around.

He's ordering us.

That's kind of refreshing.

-That guy's nuts.
-This is insane.

What did you do that for?

-Don't play dumb!
-About what?

About Oz!

I never wanted to see him again,
but I ran into him there.

Chill out.

Cut the crap!

He's not my father!

He's nothing to me!

Then why are you so worked up?

Oh, that's right.

We're on tonight at 3 a.m.

And?

Nothing. That's all.

Is there anything else?

No. Nothing.

Don't smoke in here.

All right. See you tonight at 3 a.m.

Hey.

Maybe he wants to be saved.

Who does?

Your dad.

He may have joined the mafia
out of necessity

and ended up where he is now.

It didn't look that way.

Then what about you?

-Me?
-You're just like him.

Don't make an exception for yourself.

I'm nothing like that scumbag loser!

A scumbag loser, huh?

Then what were you like before you met us?

Have you ever thought about
why Laurent sent you here?

Well, I guess it's your decision.
Do what you please.

Really? On a private jet?

You're amazing, Mr. Chen.

I want to go to Shanghai too.

No fair!

I want to go too.

You come too!

-We'll all go together!
-Awesome!

I still want to drink more.

-Just drink to your heart's content!
-Let's order room service Dom Pérignon.

It's been a while.

Why the sudden visit?

-Aren't you...
-Cut that out.

You must have mistaken me
for someone else.

Enough of that!

Mom...

believed in you to the very end.

After I was released,

I found the hospital
and was outside her room.

But I couldn't bring myself to go in.

I was too ashamed.

That's when the Shanghai bunch
came to get me.

They made a home for me
as their lawyer and interpreter.

I've always known
that I can't continue like this,

but I've been too afraid
to abandon my home.

But you sure abandoned me and Mom easily.

Yes. I was such a coward, it's shocking.

I don't care about anything anymore.

Living like this is too painful.

All right.

I'll believe in you again.

Let's escape together.

Escape?

How?

We'll go abroad
with the kids we've got confined.

That way...

you can start over again from scratch.

Makoto...

This was all my fault. Please forgive me.

It's on the fifth floor.

Abbie!

Is that him?

Yes. Hurry up and get ready.

Is that girl Abigail?

She's the unrefined princess.

I don't understand Japanese well,
but that sounds like an insult.

I know you're in the mafia,
but you don't have a gun, do you?

Are you going to threaten them?

They won't go easily.

All of you, get up!

Do as you're told, or else!

If you shout, I'll shoot!

Good. That's all of them.

Keep quiet and follow me.

I'm here.

Okay, get in.

-Welcome back, Abbie.
-Thanks.

Okay, everyone in?

Who is this?

My dad.

Okay, we're off!

Makoto, we should get off
the expressway somewhere.

I doubt they'll let us escape this easily.

Edamame, wake up!

It's them!

Should we fight our way out?

There are kids. We can't.

I didn't expect that
you'd be part of a con artist group.

I mean, we went all the way to Vietnam,
Laos, and Cambodia to get them.

I wasn't about to let you
have them all to yourself, Edamura.

Chairman Akemi was fond of you.
She just might cry from the shock.

I was fond of you too.

Thanks for the info.

No problem. Shanghai and Tokyo
need to keep working together.

I couldn't agree more.

Didn't I tell you, Makoto?

Oz of Shanghai Longhu-bang.

That's my true identity.
