A HARUKI KADOKAWA OFFICE & KITTY FILM CO-PRODUCTION

Oh, God...

Come on, step on it!

I can't go any faster!

Bullshit! Speed up or you're dead!

This is as fast as it goes!

This is? You're only doing 60.

Your speedometer goes up to 160.

That's the radio, brainiac!

Radio?

I'm shortsighted, you see.

Anyway, never mind that! Just hurry up! That way! Towards the bridge!

- Right? - Yes! Turn here!

Right! Come on, turn!

What are you doing?

Get moving! Now! You're so damn slow!

- How big's your family? - Huh?

- How many people? - Eight.

Eight? They can do without you, then.

Come on, hurry up.

I said, hurry up! That's it, through here.

Brother!

- Now you say it, too. - Brother!

That's it, very good. Maybe you can join us.

Alright, stop. Stop, I said!

That's him, over there.

Alright, here we are!

Don't forget your bag!

It might be best to notify his family.

Though they likely won't get here in time...

He has no family.

Any relatives?

Can't you save him?

Aren't you a doctor?!

All I can really do is reduce his pain...

Then do that.

Of course.

Hold on a second.

That needle's ridiculous!

I don't have any for humans.

- I'm a vet. - Wha...?

Sorry!

Hospital!

It said "hospital" on the sign!

Yes, "animal hospital"...

Moron!

- Sakuma. - Yes, boss?

- Masa. - Boss!

- Mei. - Yes?

- Hiko. - Yes!

I need to talk to you about my successor as head of the Medaka Family.

Yes, boss?

Let my nephew take over.

Where is he?

His name is...

These aren't tears

All this is

Is where the fickle rain

Has wet my cheeks a little

This is Algeria, at the end of the earth

And in the casbah night

The flower will bloom regardless

Izumi!

- Izumi! - Izumi!

What are you doing here? Don't you have class?

Who cares about class? It's your dad's funeral.

We wanted to pay our respects.

- Thank you. - Huh? Is it just you here?

I don't have a single relative.

And now I'm an orphan!

What about your dad's friends and colleagues?

I didn't tell anyone.

I wanted to see him off to heaven by myself.

You really loved him, huh?

Well, to tell you the truth, ever since Mom died,

I was like his daughter, wife, and mother, all rolled into one.

So I wanted to take good care of him, right until the very end.

Please place your hands together in prayer.

I'm all alone now.

But...

I'll be okay.

Who are you?

Are you Izumi?

Yes, Izumi Hoshi. Why?

My name is Mayumi. Nice to meet you.

Can I help you?

Can we go inside?

My father said I'm not to let strangers in.

I'm not a stranger.

Takashi talked about you all the time.

Takashi?

Takashi Hoshi. Your dad.

Nice place.

Don't touch that!

I don't want a stranger touching that.

Here.

What is it?

I'd like you to read it.

My dad wrote this?

"Dear Mayumi, since I have to travel overseas with my company,

"there's always a risk I'll have some kind of accident.

"Should the worst happen, I ask that you go and live with my daughter, Izumi.

"Izumi is a strong, sensible girl,

"but she's also very naive.

"Getting to know you will open up her outlook on life,

"which is what she needs. Please take good care of her.

"May you also be blessed with happiness.

"Forever yours, Takashi."

Excuse me,

but what was your relationship with my father?

Was it...

you know, like a man-and-woman thing?

To put it bluntly...

are you...

my father's mistress?

This blows!

- Tomoo! - Yes, sir?

Leave quietly if you don't want to paint.

Sorry, sir.

Shouldn't the nose be a bit bigger?

That looks nothing like her!

You're right, it does look nothing like her.

Alright, that's enough for me. I'm going home.

Hey, Izumi! Look!

- Who are they? - What are they doing?

It's dangerous here! What if one of them shoots at us?

Everyone, get back!

Can't you hear me?

- Out of the way! - Stay back!

What do they want?

Nobody knows! That's the weird thing.

Let's go! We're late already.

Alright! We'll escort Izumi home.

Through the back gate?

What else can we do?

I don't want to go that way!

What way do you want to go?

That way.

That way?

It's too dangerous!

This is our school, isn't it?

Why should we have to sneak out the back?

Hey, Izumi!

- Wait up! - Stop right there!

Get back here!

Turn around this instant!

Izumi Hoshi!

Come back here! Leave through the back gate!

Listen to your teachers!

Izumi Hoshi.

Correct?

We're here to pick you up.

Go on.

Excuse me.

Go on up.

Go on!

The Medaka Family?

Is that the yakuza or something?

The Medaka Family has an honorable history

that goes back to the days before the war.

Don't think we're like the scum you see these days.

"Fourth Chairman:

"Izumi Hoshi."

Um...

That's the same as my name.

It's you.

Allow me to explain.

So, my father had Medaka blood,

and the previous chairman named him as his successor? But then...

We finally found Takashi Hoshi only to discover he'd died in a car accident.

So we went to the crematorium, and saw a sweet young girl in a sailor suit.

And that

was me?

Right.

The previous chairman instructed that, failing the nephew,

we should find the next in line.

- At your service, boss. - Chairman.

Chairman.

Wait a minute! Hang on!

This is absurd!

Listen.

I'm a high school student. And I'm a girl, too!

Don't worry about that.

There are no rules on the chairman's age or gender.

But...

This won't work!

I can't do it!

It's a whole different world.

Everyone's a beginner at some point.

You'll build up experience.

Experience of what?

Fighting?

Gambling?

Murder?

That kind of experience?

No way.

I refuse.

You must be kidding.

You leave us no choice.

I guess we have to give it up.

This has turned into a farewell party.

- Hiko, get the sake. - Yes, sir.

Mei, prepare for a raid.

Are we going after the Matsunokis?

If we're going to disband, we need to at least go out with a bang.

Gentlemen!

- You'll die fighting with me, right? - Yes!

You'll come to the farewell party at least, won't you?

But...

If you're going to disband,

why do you have to fight?

It's the four of us against forty of them.

Weren't there dozens of you at the school gates?

Oh, my brother just hired them for the day.

They're from other families.

The Medaka Family is just us four.

Alright, let's make this official.

Yes, Brother.

- Dismissed! - Brother!

- Let's go! - Alright!

Let's do this!

Wait!

Please, wait!

I forbid you

to go and fight!

What's it got to do with you? You're not the boss!

I...

I accept your offer.

Miss...

Therefore,

I forbid you to go on this raid.

Miss...

That's "Boss" to you.

- Boss! - Boss!

- Get the sake cups! Now! - Yes!

You're totally hungover!

Please, not so loud!

My head's pounding.

I called in sick for you.

Thanks.

You made such a scene at the school,

they thought you'd been kidnapped by the gangsters.

You need to eat something. If you don't get proper nutrition,

your breasts and your hips won't develop.

My breasts are big enough, thanks.

What's the matter? Have I done something to offend you?

No.

I just don't know

what my father

saw in you.

You're not especially pretty.

Nor do you seem particularly smart.

In which case,

it must be

your body!

You're silly.

Just how many drinks did you have?

I had about five cups of sake around this big.

I'm the boss, I had to drink.

You're in trouble!

The Medakas are real yakuza, you know?

Is that right?

You know about them, Mayumi?

Yes,

I heard of them back in my degenerate days.

I'm worried about you.

Sorry to drag you out like this, Boss.

So who are we going to introduce me to?

Pardon?

Where are we going?

To see the Hamaguchi Family's chairman.

They're the biggest family in the area.

What a pain!

I don't know any yakuza etiquette.

"It's an honor to meet you, sir!" Like that, right?

All yakuza have a front these days.

Every chairman is the president of some company or other.

What's that on our roof?

Graves.

Do they always keep you waiting this long?

Be patient!

If we offend them, we're done for.

Is the boss in?

Yes, please wait just a moment.

They look scary! Who is he?

That's Sekine, the Matsunoki chairman.

The Matsunokis?

Weren't they the ones you were going to fight?

They're affiliated with the Hamaguchis.

That's why they're infringing on our territory.

That you, Sakuma?

Hello.

How's business?

- Can't complain. - Really?

This is our fourth chairman.

Stop pulling my leg!

I'm Izumi Hoshi, fourth chairman of the Medaka Family.

Nice to meet you.

"Nice to meet you"? Get a load of her!

What is this, an internship?

Huh, Sakuma?

You expect this little girl to run your family?

You couldn't even sell her to a bathhouse.

Go home and change your diaper!

Say that again.

Insult our chairman again and you're dead.

Whoa, whoa! Easy, now!

Don't be like that. It's just a joke.

Now I look more closely, though,

don't you have a pretty little face?

I could just eat you up!

You little bitch!

Hold it!

Sekine!

Come to my office, now.

And bring our guests from the Medaka Family.

Right away, sir.

Boss...

I like you.

You have guts, and you're cute.

I can see why you're at the head of the Medaka Family.

I really like you.

Boss.

Stop goofing around!

Brother! Brother!

Are we really getting back the turf the Matsunokis took from us?

It's a gift from the Hamaguchis for the new boss!

This is great!

To the new chairman!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Move it! Brother...

Not again...

What's the matter with you?

We haven't had so much fun in years.

I'm just so happy!

I'm sorry things have been so bad.

Not you too, Brother! This is a new beginning for the Medakas.

Exactly! So don't cry, Brother!

Yes, this is a new beginning!

Attention!

Cheer up, everyone! Yakuza don't cry!

Understood?

- Yes, Boss! - Yes, Boss!

Good!

What's happening?

Machine guns.

What do we do?

Get the weapons, you idiot!

Mei, get the weapons!

Now!

Brother!

Brother!

I've been expelled!

- Izumi! - Izumi!

Izumi!

We've started a petition to let you come back to school!

Don't let the bastards get you down!

Izumi Hoshi?

Yes?

I'm Kuroki, Shinjuku Police Department.

- You're a detective? - Yes.

- Is this about what happened yesterday? - Yesterday?

No?

I wanted to talk to you about your late father.

My father?

He was hit by a truck at the airport on his way back from a business trip?

That's what I was told.

He had already died by the time the police called me.

Actually, it seems someone forced his car into the truck's path.

You mean,

he was murdered?

- He worked for a trading company? - Yes.

- Did he travel overseas much? - All the time.

Did he ever bring home any souvenirs?

Like small packages, about this big?

No.

What exactly are you trying to find out?

Well, when there's a murder at an airport,

in most cases, smuggling is involved.

Smuggling?

You think my father was a smuggler?

That's impossible! You must be joking.

I apologize.

It's just it's a detective job to suspect everything.

It's not nice, I know.

I believe what you say about your father.

Well, I'll be going.

Oh, I went by your apartment, and there was a woman there.

Who is she?

You mean Mayumi?

She's a relative.

It would be too lonely if I was on my own.

Is something wrong?

I've seen her before. On a wanted poster, I think.

Her real name is Tsunemi Tsuchida.

She has a history of theft, prostitution, shoplifting, you name it.

I'm probably mistaken. Alright, see you later!

You gave me a scare!

I just got back to the station

and I heard you called the police!

Sorry.

My goodness!

This is the work of a professional.

I doubt they left any prints for us.

Where's that woman?

She's gone.

It was like this when I got home.

Strange. Is she really a relative?

She had a letter from my father.

Telling her to live with me.

Telling her to live with you? It gets even stranger.

But why would they make all this mess and not take anything?

They weren't after money.

Whoever did this,

they were doing a very thorough search for something hidden.

But they didn't find it?

If they did, there would be no need to turn the place upside down, right?

Very good! You're a sharp one. That's exactly what I think.

What were they looking for, then?

Drugs, maybe.

Drugs?

It's just a joke.

He's teasing us.

Sorry, but this is no joke.

Your father was a drug trafficker.

Dad was?

I spoke with someone from the Tokyo Police's narcotics team.

I asked him to check the files, just to be sure.

They've had their eye on Takashi Hoshi for a long time.

Should I continue?

Go ahead.

Actually, I better say no more.

It doesn't feel right.

Please carry on!

You don't need to pity me!

This is bad, guys! He's hitting on Izumi!

What should we do? We have to do something.

I don't think it's anything to worry about. He's a cop.

You're such a sucker. Cops are still men.

Which means he's a rival.

Any guy who tries to get near Izumi is our enemy!

Take a closer look.

They're all friendly with each other!

Your father used his business trips to bring drugs back to Japan.

There's no question that he did this so that he could sell them.

Someone decided they wanted to take these drugs for themselves,

and murdered him at the airport.

However, they couldn't find the drugs either among your father's belongings

or at your home.

Do you know this for sure?

It's conjecture.

When you start joining the dots,

it leads to this conclusion.

You sound very sure of yourself.

Disagreeably so.

I'm a disagreeable cop.

The kind of disagreeable cop who won't shut up

when he knows his theories are upsetting a young girl.

Oh! That smile says this is nothing!

You're a tough girl, aren't you?

I'd be lying if I said this didn't upset me.

But I'm alright.

I feel like I can get through this somehow.

That's good to know.

Hi!

Who are they?

Drunks?

Don't mind them. They're just my men.

Huh?

I forgot to say.

Izumi Hoshi, fourth chairman of the Medaka Family of Kanto.

He got so jealous

that he said he was going to kill him!

He didn't expect him to be a cop!

"You're so cute, Boss! I love you!"

Shut your trap, asshole!

- You're blushing! - Come here!

Are you for real?

- She's way out of your league! - Come back!

What a fool!

Listen, you all need to brighten up!

Looking at you all glum like that is a real buzzkill!

Have a drink!

No, they're underage!

You don't get a choice! Now drink up!

Hurry up! Take it!

- Alright, I'll drink. - Good!

Just watch me!

That's more like it!

What did I tell you?

It burns... I'm going to die...

Like hell you are!

I don't want to die a virgin!

Virgin?

- Virgin? What a nostalgic word! - Hey! Hey!

Go on, Mei.

The first time I went to a bathhouse, it was my first semester at junior high!

You're weird! What an idiot.

You only got laid because you forced yourself on someone!

- You little prick! - Hey! Hey!

You guys can be so brash sometimes.

You're even spoiling the mood for me.

We'll be more careful from now on.

Izumi! We're going to call it a night now.

You are?

Stay at my place if you want. I have plenty of spare rooms.

I'll pass, thanks.

Why?

No reason in particular! I just want to keep partying.

I don't want to be alone.

If I'm left by myself tonight,

I'll end up going crazy and looking like this.

And girls don't like to be seen looking like that.

I get it.

No, I don't want you to get it.

Men and women are different, you see. You'd never understand.

Izumi!

Thanks! Good night

- Good night! - Izumi!

Night!

Go home, take a dump, and get to bed, like a good kid!

Dumbass!

- Hey, Hiko! - What?

- I want to ride a motorbike. - A motorbike?

I want the wind to blow away my troubles!

You got it!

Mei, Mei. The boss said she'd go crazy tonight.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

Stop! It's me!

Hey, watch it!

Look! It's me!

- Hey! Are you well? - Of course I am. Now give me the bike!

Sure, she's all yours.

Hop on, Boss!

Get her a helmet!

That'll do.

Perfect!

Hold on! Here we go!

- Let's go! - Alright!

I'm cold!

Boss!

Boss!

What?

I think I felt the rain on my back.

You'll catch a cold hanging on to me.

It's alright.

It stopped raining.

What? It stopped?

Yes!

This feels great!

I'll speed up, then!

- Hiko. - Yeah?

Why did you join the Medaka Family?

No reason, really!

Yes there is! Answer the chairman's question.

In 100 words or less!

There wasn't any line of work I was suited to.

I hated school. And I hated working even more!

After the biker gang, being a yakuza was the natural next step!

What can I say? My career was destined for great things!

- Over here, over here. - Hey, Mei. Is there any order to this?

Yes, the red one goes in the middle.

Red one in the middle...

Good morning, Boss!

Oh, good morning!

Good morning!

What on earth are you doing?

We're redecorating so that you feel more at home here, Boss.

- Coffee. - Coming right up!

Boss!

Mei picked everything out. Doesn't he have good taste?

Brilliant taste!

I used to be a decorator. I just used what I learned from that.

We have money to renovate?

Thanks to you, we're making more money now.

Your coffee, Boss.

Would you like it here, or at your desk?

Boss! Hey.

Try it out, Boss!

Would you like milk, Boss?

- Yes, please. - Okay!

Wait, where's Hiko?

Huh? You don't know either, Boss?

I haven't seen him since he took me home last night.

He's like a bullet.

He doesn't come back!

I'll get it!

Medaka Family.

Yes, that's right.

Huh?

Hello?

Hello?

What was that?

Some strange guy. He said, "The goods are on the stairs."

What goods?

- Go check. - Alright.

Here you go, Brother!

I don't suppose it's a bomb or something.

After the machine gun? Too much of a step down.

Hiko!

Hiko!

Hiko!

The Matsunokis did this!

First the machine gun,

now they're taking us out one by one.

Hiko, we'll avenge you.

They shot at us on our own turf...

and now they've killed one of us!

I can't just sit back and take this!

I mean it!

Boss!

- Boss! - What's all this racket?

Keep it down, will you?

That's very dear to me! Bastard!

Boss!

Boss!

Boss...

- Idiot! - Boss.

- Where are you going? - Let me go!

- Boss! - Boss!

You've got balls, coming here on your own.

I want to have an honest discussion, chairman to chairman.

One of my men was killed.

But you know that.

Yes. I do.

That's why I'm here.

The Matsunoki Family did it.

Damned imbecile!

Don't say such slanderous things.

Listen to me, little girl.

It was us who shot up your office, yes.

But after that, the head of the Hamaguchis gave orders

not to lay a finger on the Medaka Family.

Any more incidents would get us too much unwanted attention.

This is inconveniencing us, too!

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

I just wanted to make sure.

Goodbye.

Not so fast.

Teach this impudent little girl some manners.

- Yes, Boss! - Yes, Boss!

Pipe down!

Shut up!

Fourth Chairman! Your clothes are all dirty!

Just dunk her up to her head already!

- Chairman! - How's the temperature?

I'd like to take a dip myself!

Sekine speaking!

What? You have my boy?

Daddy! Help me, Daddy!

If there's so much as a scratch on our chairman

your halfwit of a son is history.

Tell him again!

Daddy!

Don't die on us! We need you.

Here, talk to him.

Let me down already!

Stop!

Stop, stop!

Hey, the boss said to stop.

Stop!

- Stop! - Bring her down!

Bring her down!

I'll move this.

- Okay? - Yeah.

Well?

I think you've got a taste for how fearsome the yakuza can be.

Yes, I was scared.

But it's only made me more determined!

Until we get Hiko's killer,

I won't stop fighting!

I was waiting for that!

You've got a pretty face, but that yakuza blood makes you a fighter!

The girl's got spunk.

What's your problem?

I just don't think, as a girl, she should be getting any deeper into this.

She's not a girl. She's the chairman!

Our brother's dead, and you want us to lie back and take it?

But we had such a close call today!

We best make a grave for Hiko.

Boss, have you ever heard of someone called Fatso?

- Fatso? - Yeah.

His real name is Hajime Sandaiji. He's the leader of another yakuza family.

What about him?

I can't think of anyone else capable of such brutality.

But why?

For drugs.

Whenever a deal's going down, Fatso is always involved somehow.

He's after your father's drugs.

But even after ransacking your apartment, he found nothing.

So he tortured Hiko to try to make him talk.

But there are no drugs!

There must be.

If Fatso's sticking his nose in, there must be drugs somewhere.

Boss.

You have to be careful.

Don't do anything reckless again.

Reckless?

Like going to take on the Matsunoki Family alone.

I did it for Hiko!

Don't you care that he was killed?

Of course I do!

But unlike me,

no one can replace you, Boss.

That's so cold!

That's awful!

So this is the kind of person you are, Sakuma?

Leave me alone.

No can do, I'm afraid. Brother Sakuma asked me to make sure you're safe.

I'm fine.

I'll walk you home!

Hello?

Hoshi residence.

Hello?

Izumi?

Yes, Izumi Hoshi speaking.

It's me, Mayumi.

It's been a while, and I wondered how you were doing!

Are you getting on alright by yourself?

I'm fine.

Good!

That's really good.

Did you want something?

Well, I'm surviving, I suppose.

I thought you must be wondering why I disappeared so suddenly,

so I decided to give you a call.

But you seem to be doing just great.

Not really.

I hate everything.

Really?

So you're feeling down, huh?

I'd like to see you.

There's something I'd like to ask...

your forgiveness for.

I started hanging out in places like this when I was in grade school.

My mother ran a bar,

so I became an alcoholic in junior high

and a junkie in high school.

When I got to college...

Yes, I went to college, believe it or not.

I majored in pharmacy,

because I thought I could get my hands on anything I wanted.

But I was naive.

I ended up getting caught stealing heroin.

That was my life over, there and then.

I had more men than I can remember.

Life was nothing but pain.

I was drunk and high when I crashed my car.

It was raining so heavily.

Then a car came past, and the driver saved me. I was half dead.

That was Takashi Hoshi.

He saved me in more than one way, though.

Because it was only through meeting him that I knew what love really was.

That's quite the story you've cooked up.

It's like something out of a novel.

You don't believe me?

I know your real name is Tsunemi Tsuchida.

And you have a rap sheet.

For theft, shoplifting,

and pros...

Is that what they told you?

Yes, a detective did.

So, you think it was me who tore the apartment up?

Wasn't it?

Is everything my fault now?

These aren't tears

All this is

Is where the fickle rain

Has wet my cheeks a little

This is Algeria, at the end of the earth

My dad liked that song.

That's just a coincidence, right?

Right! Just a coincidence!

I'm leaving.

Izumi!

I've fallen in love with someone.

I thought Takashi would be the last, but here I go again!

Can you forgive me?

Why do you need my blessing?

Because you're Takashi's daughter.

And I promised him I'd take care of you,

but then I went and fell for someone else.

Mayumi.

You're such a liar, aren't you?

Drop the act!

Thank you.

The woman from the tavern

Puts on the pretense

Of love again tonight

I hate to treat such a cute little chairman so roughly,

but if I don't, Brother Sakuma won't see me.

What do you want with him?

It's not just him, I have business with you, too.

So it would be convenient to have the both of you together.

You want to kill Sakuma, don't you?

I know you have a gun.

It's purely precautionary.

People used to call him the Killing Machine.

He's as quick as a snake.

Come on, let's go!

Tell Brother that Hagiwara's here to see him.

Mayumi!

I didn't know he was with the Medaka Family.

Though I did think he was probably a yakuza,

what with the tattoo on his back.

It's disgusting!

You were like two beasts.

The heroin that was meant for Fatso

seems to have accidentally fallen into the Medakas' hands.

Please hand it over.

I don't have it.

- Give it back! - I don't have the damn stuff!

Fatso thinks you do.

- If you don't cough it up... - I want to see Fatso.

Let me talk to him.

He won't see you.

Please, I'm asking you.

Don't ask me.

Ask your lady.

Lady?

The one you were just with, Brother.

You don't know?

She's Fatso's daughter.

She's his only girl, but she ran away because she couldn't stand him.

If you bring her along, maybe he'll see you.

Otherwise, you better find that heroin.

That's the only way the Medaka Family is going to survive.

I see.

So she's this Mayumi you told me about.

She's a fake.

Most likely.

I just picked her up at a bar I always go to without thinking about it.

She didn't tell you her name?

Isn't that what most people do when they meet someone for the first time?

Most people, yeah.

And you're not most people?

I'm a yakuza. You know that.

We might talk like we're all righteous,

but we're rotten to the core.

You can hardly bear your own putrid stench.

You have to deal with shit, and people, even more rancid than yourself.

If you can't do that, it hurts too much every time you go to bed at night.

Sometimes you want to howl, like a wolf.

You mean that she...

Mayumi is just as rotten?

No.

I don't know!

When I met her,

she told me I looked like her old lover.

"She told me I looked like her old lover."

That he was dead now, but I reminded her of him.

"That he was dead now, but I reminded her of him."

I was just a substitute for the man she loved!

"I was just a substitute for the man she loved!"

Morning!

- Morning! - Morning, Boss!

What's today's schedule?

Well, patrolling our territory, as usual,

then in the evening, Mr. Hamaguchi has invited you for dinner.

As in the boss of Hamaguchi Enterprises?

Yes. You haven't exchanged sake cups with him since becoming chairman,

so it's very important.

Exchanged sake cups?

Sounds like a wedding!

Well, it is a wedding of sorts. Between two yakuza families.

So, where are we having dinner?

At Mr. Hamaguchi's house. He asked you to come alone, Boss.

Alone?

Are you soft in the head?

I just mean, we shouldn't send a girl the Boss' age

over there all by herself.

I'm the chairman!

What's age or gender got to do with it?

But, Boss, he's...

I'm going.

The chairman mustn't run away.

But Boss...

The thing is...

I'm glad you enjoyed dinner.

Dishes and dishes of food I'd never seen before just kept coming!

I feel like I'm going to burst!

This helps with digestion. Try it.

It's delicious!

Really? I'm glad you think so.

That you're so politely enjoying my hospitality

makes me feel it was worth inviting you.

Now we've had dinner together,

Hamaguchi Enterprises and the Medaka Family

are properly allied, right?

Well, I'm not so sure of that.

We've yet to make this official, chairman to chairman, I think.

Huh?

Now, let's go, shall we?

Yeah?

Go where?

Well...

Come on.

- Stand up. - No, thank you.

- Let's go. - I wasn't planning on staying the night.

Besides, I don't have my pajamas with me...

Come on. Don't worry about your pajamas.

You can sleep naked.

Excellent!

So you are a virgin!

That's just perfect.

That means we can make a proper alliance.

Come along. That's a good girl.

Let's go, shall we?

Okay? Come on, let's go.

Hey, now!

Come with me.

Hey!

Alright, let's go up now.

No!

That's it, on your feet now.

Okay, okay!

Oh, you're a feisty one!

What fun.

Up you go.

Keep going! Keep going!

Mr. Hamaguchi?

What?

A visitor.

I can't see them right now, I'm busy!

She calls herself Mayumi.

Mayumi Sandaiji.

She said to tell you that she's Fatso's daughter.

What?

Just as I thought!

Get out, now!

- Mayumi! - Sakuma's waiting for you outside.

What about you, Mayumi?

You're not going to let the both of us go, are you, Mr. Hamaguchi?

If I'm going to let go of a fresh young virgin,

I'm going to need some serious compensation.

This is the kind of man you're dealing with.

Do you see now?

Be more careful from now on.

I'm sorry.

Go.

He's worried sick.

Sakuma is?

He's waiting outside

so he could come in and kill Hamaguchi if he did anything to you!

He's such a fool.

A yakuza down to his very bones.

Go to him. Now!

My, my! This is one for the books! The Sandaiji girl!

Who'd have thought the woman I could never talk into bed

would end up coming running to me!

Just what does that virgin girl mean to you?

I guess you could call it my duty. I made someone a promise.

I can't let monsters like you hurt her.

That's all our relationship is.

Boss!

Boss!

Boss!

Are you alright?

Boss?

Boss! You're not hurt, right?

Boss!

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness.

I'm sorry.

Mayumi...

She sacrificed herself for me...

It's okay. It was her own decision.

Is it really, though?

Is that how men...

and women...

are?

It's over now.

You're done dealing with him.

Coffee's ready.

Morning!

Good morning, Boss!

Good morning.

Boss,

shouldn't you rest up at home a little longer?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Oh, this is for you.

What is it?

Boss!

The ricefish is cute, isn't he?

- This one? - No, over here.

- This one? - Yeah.

And over to the right...

That's it. A bit more... Yeah.

His name's Taro.

Good morning.

You see the little guy beneath him? That's the one.

He doesn't move much, does he?

- I wonder if something's wrong with him. - Maybe.

The most energetic one...

A bit lower. More. Lower. Lower.

There! He's the liveliest.

I'm being tailed.

- What? - Huh?

I've felt like someone's been following me all morning.

Following you?

It's freaking me out.

Detective?

I knew it was you!

You had a chat with the boss in that underground cafe, didn't you?

I saw you.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Mei, from the Medaka Family.

I'm the boss' bodyguard. Good to meet you.

Do you have something to discuss with the boss?

Did you find Hiko's killer?

Sorry, but that case is a dead end.

There are no leads whatsoever.

So what do you want with the boss, then?

What's this?

Are you interrogating me?

I'm the detective here!

Sakuma told me not to let anyone suspicious go inside.

Suspicious?

What's suspicious about me? Huh?

What's so suspicious about me?

Tell me.

What... is it?

Aren't you meant to be a cop?

Is this how you protect your boss?

What a joke.

It's my business what I want with her.

I need to speak with her.

In person.

You got a problem with that?

Punk!

Speak up!

Sorry.

I'm in a bad mood today!

And I'm feeling pretty impatient.

Wait!

You're not seeing the boss.

There's no way I'd let a son of a bitch like you up there!

Not to see our chairman!

You want to die?

Don't struggle.

Don't move, or you're dead.

Fine.

I'll arrange to see your boss another time.

No...

Something bad's going to happen, Boss!

Did you get into another fight?

Who did this to you?

This is bad...

You must be in pain!

It's bad...

You know a cop called Kuroki, right?

Mr. Kuroki?

You know him well?

Not really...

He seems like a good person, so...

- Shall I take you to the hospital? - No.

This is nothing!

I'll be fine in a few days.

- Take your shirt off. - Huh?

Come on!

It looks terrible!

Stay still, okay?

Does it hurt?

It feels good!

Don't move.

Press here a second.

That's it.

It's fine, I can do it myself.

Stay put!

You'll open the wound if you move around. Right?

Put your hands on your head.

- Does it hurt? - No.

You smell good, Boss!

I'm not wearing any perfume.

Really? You kind of smell like my mom.

Am I like your mom?

No! She's a drunk and a whore.

Sorry, I'm babbling.

I can do the rest.

Maybe I'll be like that when I grow up.

You're kind, aren't you, Boss?

You smell so nice.

Like my mom.

You smell like Mom.

It's nice.

I'm sorry! That was inexcusable, Boss!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Who are you?

Mei!

Kindly come with us, would you?

Why did you kill him?

Why did you have to shoot him?

Have a seat.

What a beautiful young lady you are.

I particularly like that sparkle in your eyes.

I had

a daughter with beautiful eyes just like yours.

That was a long time ago, though.

What did you do with the package?

The heroin.

I've never even seen it!

You see, it was meant for me.

But there was a little mishap

and it ended up with you.

I want you to give it back to me.

I can't give back what I don't have!

Listen to me.

Only God has the right to decide who lives and dies.

But He's busy elsewhere right now.

So, here in Japan,

we're acting on His behalf.

I'll tell you how I lost my legs.

I tried to kill myself.

I rigged a landmine up on the floor

and slowly stepped on it.

The thing is, just stepping on a landmine won't detonate it.

But if you were to shift your weight

as you were standing on it even just a little bit...

Boom! It would be triggered instantly.

So if you want to live,

you can't move a muscle.

I stood there for three days.

First my feet went numb, and then the numbness spread to my whole body.

That feeling... How can I explain it?

Yes, the fear of death mingled with the shuddering of my body...

It was pleasure!

I wonder if you can understand

how pleasure can come from being so close to death.

I can't! And I don't want to!

Let me help you.

Where's the heroin?

These aren't tears

All this is

Is where the fickle rain

Has wet my cheeks a little

This is Algeria...

I need your help!

Our chairman has been kidnapped by Fatso.

They'll only spare her life if we come up with the heroin.

But Fatso's got it wrong.

We don't have any damn heroin.

Right! You wouldn't touch that stuff.

Please...

Cut to the chase. You need me because I'm Fatso's daughter, right?

I'm begging you.

Please tell me where your father is.

What will you do if I tell you?

I'll go see him.

We'll talk it over.

And what about when he doesn't believe you?

You should know that talking to Fatso isn't going to solve anything.

In that case...

He'll kill you.

Forget it.

It's suicide.

Don't move!

It's too dangerous.

You're in grave danger.

That landmine is highly sensitive.

If you move your body

or your center of gravity shifts even a little,

you'll be blown to pieces in an instant.

Mr. Fatso?

I can't hear her. Turn up the volume.

What was that?

You need to see a psychiatrist.

You demand heroin that I don't even have.

You enjoy watching people suffer.

You're sick.

Very well.

I'll tell you why I'm so interested in the heroin.

You see,

it's not just about the money.

I want the number of heroin addicts in Japan

to grow by thousands, millions, even.

Then, when they come off the heroin and get withdrawal symptoms,

I'll sit back and watch

as they writhe about in agony.

You're the Devil!

Thank you.

That's the greatest compliment you could pay me.

Mayumi!

Stay back! It will explode!

I can't take any more!

Dad!

Mayumi!

Stay back!

Dad! Turn it off!

I'll tell you where the heroin is!

Turn it off!

I'm sorry. I tried to shut you out.

Not because of you,

more just what you represented, I suppose.

Well, it was only through living with you, Izumi,

that I came to start examining my own shortcomings.

Izumi.

I don't like to be left out.

Now, Mayumi.

Isn't it about time you shared with me where the heroin's stashed?

If you don't, the girl will be going back to...

It's in her apartment.

What? That makes no sense.

I had that place searched exhaustively...

You were searching for the wrong thing. You were looking for powder, right?

I dissolved it in water and put it in bottles of lotion.

That's my girl!

- Hey, Kuroki! - Yes, sir?

Did you hear that just now?

Mr. Kuroki?

I didn't want to see you here like this.

This cop sold his soul to the Devil.

He'll do anything for money.

Absolutely. It was me who tortured and killed that punk Hiko.

Why?

We couldn't find the heroin in your apartment.

So we worked on your men.

You didn't have to kill him!

He'd seen my face. I had no choice.

Hey, Kuroki!

Sit down and tell the young lady the whole story.

Gladly.

Security was unusually tight at Narita Airport that day.

That was how it began.

I knew that the narcotics officers were onto me after I picked up the heroin.

I was questioned for 30 minutes before being released.

While I was being questioned, Takashi Hoshi crashed into the truck.

Takashi found a suspicious package in his bag,

so he gave it to me when I came to see him at the airport.

It was a real shock when I went to your apartment.

Who should answer the door but my boss' daughter?

This moron said I was in the way, and that I had to leave.

He said he'd arrest me and hand me over to Fatso if I disobeyed him.

So that's why you vanished so suddenly?

I never expected things to turn out like this.

Who would have thought that a single package of heroin

could lead to such a tragedy?

You completely fooled me with that lotion bottle trick, though.

I better get going, then.

I won't feel at ease until I find the heroin.

Let's enjoy our meal until Kuroki returns with the heroin, shall we?

This is the world's finest delicacy.

It's not every day you get to eat it.

What a sublime taste.

Dėlicieux!

What is it?

Brains.

Huh?

Monkey brains.

What's the matter?

I need to use the bathroom...

Hey! Show her the way.

Hold it right there.

Sakuma!

Don't look behind you!

Drop your gun!

Oh, dear. I didn't want to fight you, Brother.

Then drop the gun.

Please! Please don't kill me!

Please...

Don't kill me...

Boss!

Run!

No!

Run!

Sakuma!

This is bad, Boss.

We fell into their trap.

I don't mind. I'm glad!

I thought I'd never see you again!

Boss...

You can't die.

You have a bad habit of thinking you'll sort everything out by dying.

You need to get out of it.

Sakuma!

Boss!

You've got guts...

Lecturing me with our backs against the wall like this.

I'm falling for you.

Give up this futile effort!

It's time for some more vivisection.

- Grab them! - Wait!

You promised to spare her.

Mayumi!

You really are naive, aren't you?

Hey. Remove my legs.

Now!

Dad!

Now why would I let go...

of such a great specimen?

Strip her and fasten her to the operating table.

The Sandaiji Family is disbanded!

Get out!

Mayumi!

It's strange.

I feel like this is the first time

I've ever seen you look so gentle, Dad.

Hello?

Hello? Who is this?

Mr. Kuroki?

I've been ambushed.

The Hamaguchis took the heroin.

Hello?

Mr. Kuroki?

Hang in there!

Hagiwara double-crossed us.

- The bastard. - Mr. Kuroki?

You're hurt, aren't you?

Stop talking now!

Mr. Kuroki?

Izumi...

You're a good girl.

I liked you.

Bye-bye.

Why?

Why did so many people have to die

over a tiny bit of heroin?

Because of money.

It's worth hundreds of millions of yen.

So everyone loses their minds chasing it.

That damn Hamaguchi...

He must have all those bottles lined up in a row right now, laughing his ass off.

- Sakuma. - Yes?

- Masa. - Yes, Boss?

Will you come with me?

Where to?

To Hamaguchi's offices.

Hamaguchi's?

We're going to storm the place.

What?

I need to take a leak.

Idiot! Get off on the next floor.

No! I'm going to die with you, Brother!

Oh, I meant to ask you.

Are you gay?

I'm in love with him, but he doesn't care about me!

He killed someone in the yakuza war in Osaka.

I was inside at the time, too.

We were in the same cell.

Going to bed and waking up with him every day, I guess I...

I fell in love with him.

You pervert!

It's very painful, you know,

unrequited love...

- We're from the Medaka Family. - Huh? Medaka?

- Is the president in? - Do you have an appointment?

He won't see you without an appointment.

The chairman of the Medaka Family

wants to see your boss!

Hurry up.

- Go! - Alright!

I can't stand women.

What?

Graves.

Ah, welcome! Come in, come in!

Please, sit down! Take a seat!

Hagiwara!

First you turn your back on the Medakas to work for Fatso,

and now you bring heroin to suck up to your new boss, Hamaguchi!

You're what they call a snake!

Sorry!

I'm a very driven man.

But thanks to you, now I'm an executive here.

Gentlemen, gentlemen...

If you'd like,

you're more than welcome to join our management team, Izumi.

After all, you handed me the two things I wanted most on a silver platter.

The heroin, and Fatso's head!

Alright. Alright, alright.

You'll like this, I promise.

I'm handing over part of Fatso's territory to the Medaka Family.

Okay? Now you Medakas can reestablish yourselves.

Isn't that right, Izumi?

I-zu-mi!

What's that look for?

You keep disrespecting me by calling me by my first name.

Especially since you're just an old hick.

"Hick"? "Old"?

I'm not interested in some shitty territory.

What the hell did you say?

What I want is the heroin.

What?

Hand over everything you have.

Don't move!

Hands on your head.

Now! Do it!

Do you realize what you're doing? Huh?

You think you can sell all this?

Not to mention the fact

that we're not exactly going to just let this slide.

How pleasant!

Stay right there!

- Brother... - Boss!

Nobody moves!

Brother!

Hold me!

Hold me tight!

This is nice!

- Masa! - Masa!

I'm so happy.

I'm with my two favorite people, and I'm in your arms.

I can...

Masa!

Masa!

Go to hell!

WELCOME!

Boss.

Everyone's waiting.

So, it's all over!

Hiko, Mei, and Masa are all dead.

This is the end of the Medaka Family.

I'm sorry.

I feel like none of this would have happened if I hadn't become chairman.

Don't be silly.

Thanks to you,

we got to go out in a blaze of glory.

I have no doubt that these guys

and the previous chairman would have heaped praise on you.

I certainly will.

Don't, we're not strangers!

We are now.

With the family gone,

you're back to being the girl in the sailor suit again.

And I...

What will you do, Sakuma?

Leave Tokyo.

Go out to the country somewhere

and live a quiet life, I think.

And what about being a yakuza?

I'm washing my hands of the whole bloody business.

Really?

The yakuza are going backwards.

They like to talk about codes of honor and manhood.

But deep down,

they're afraid to move forward.

So they don't dare to look to the future.

The yakuza are a bunch of cowards, really.

You know who showed me that?

You did, Boss.

Don't call me that.

The Medaka Family doesn't exist anymore.

In that case, Miss Hoshi...

Look after yourself.

You too, Sakuma.

Promise me.

Promise me you'll become a civilian.

I'll become a civilian.

Then I'll come visit you at your apartment sometime.

I promise you, Boss.

You did it again!

- Heave... - Ho!

Heave ho!

SEVERAL MONTHS LATER

Oh, yeah.

What happened to that weird Mayumi person?

She went to America.

- America? - Yeah.

Good for her.

She's probably living by herself in New York.

Actually, I bet she's got loads of blond-haired lovers.

You have it easy in that department yourself.

How do you mean?

Well, you have your pick of at least three boyfriends whenever you want.

- Right! - And would that mean you three?

- Of course! - Who else?

She's laughing!

Well, I'm glad you're so amused.

Are we a joke to you?

No, it's not that!

It's just been so long since I've heard you goofing around,

and I feel all giddy!

I just can't stop laughing!

We weren't kidding!

Excuse me!

Are you Izumi Hoshi?

Do you have a moment?

Yes?

Not you.

I'm a police officer.

Izumi? Are you back to your old tricks?

There was a fight between two yakuza late last night.

- Yakuza? - Yes.

He stepped in to break it up, apparently.

Then one of the gangsters pulled a knife

and stabbed him in the chest.

Death would have been almost instant.

Is he a yakuza, too?

No, no.

He's here on business from Hokkaido.

- Hokkaido? - Yes.

One second.

Please take a look at this.

I think he was just going to leave his card in your mailbox or something,

but he must have changed his mind.

He decided to come back to visit you later,

so he went to kill some time.

But then he saw the yakuza brawl...

- Please, stop. - Huh?

When he saw them fighting, he couldn't just stand back and do nothing.

Because if he did,

one of them would be hurt over nothing.

Knowing that,

he couldn't turn a blind eye.

If you don't mind my asking,

what's your relationship to the deceased?

MAKOTO SAKUMA HOKKO CONSTRUCTION

"DEAR IZUMI, I'M IN TOWN ON BUSINESS. YOU WERE OUT WHEN I CALLED.

"SO I HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME I'M IN TOKYO."

Goodbye isn't forever

It's just until we meet again someday

Even if I leave what I yearn for behind in my dreams

And my heart grows cold

All I want right now

Is to keep holding you forever

I just want to stay like this

And warm your cold cheeks against mine

Everyone in the city is always in such a rush

And love is trapped in a concrete cage

But should you get tired of those casual encounters

Then be sure to come back to me

The faces of the men I've loved

Turn to mere memories

My first ever kiss

was to a middle-aged man.

It looks like

I'm going to grow up to be a stupid woman.

The end.
