With the cooperation of Mifune Productions

I know him well.

When was the last time I met him?

Perhaps more then a year ago.

So, now he's missing...

I'm afraid you're wrong.

I don't care where such a poor racketeer is.

No matter how eagerly you question me, I'd never do anything for him-.

Then, you accept the connection with him, don't you?

What do you mean?

You've no idea?

I know plenty of guys.

Must I be responsible for them all?

I know how you cops work.

You ask a guy with a criminal record first.

That's it, huh?

Sorry, but I'm busy.

It's okay.

They aren't wise to anything.

Calm down.

Stay relaxed.

Keep composed.

That's right.

I can do this.

I'll never lose.

It's just starting.

It's only the beginning.

NO MORE GOD, NO MORE LOVE

Hi!

You got out?

- Day before yesterday- - I see.

Some idiot left his kittens outside my door.

He must think it's a ZOO.

Hey, eat.

You sure eat a lot.

Come in.

That's it.

I'm glad you came.

A young guy was looking for me.

But he ran away.

I'll find my own job.

Why not help me for a while?

You have nowhere to live, right?

I don't mind if you stay here.

Thanks, but I'll manage.

ls that so?

Seven years in prison?

You think Tokyo has changed?

What did you do?

You wasted the best years of your life.

Have some.

What's wrong?

I wanted my first drink to be...

imported booze.

I would, too.

Hey. Bring that one.

White Horse. Bring it.

Think you can get work?

Isn't there anything bigger?

Never mind. Leave us.

Do it so they can't see us.

She looks awful.

Isn't she a junkie?

You watch.

Sir, I'm not a messenger boy.

I can't go back empty-handed.

You burns can't have this place.

We'd rather kill ourselves.

Get lost!

Quit boasting. Just seal it.

Ass!

I've gone through...

every hardship you could think of.

I know! Just seal it.

You can't threaten me!

- Seal it! - Shut up!

I wasn't born to let you beat me.

Come on, man. Quit griping.

I mean it.

Move and get cut!

Hold him

Stop!

One...

Two...

Damn punk!

Is it so much fun?

You can't beat us.

Go ahead!

Kill me!

Stop it!

Toshio...

BUILDING SALES CONTRACT

Will you be okay alone?

Man is a thief.

Tomorrow will see rain.

Being adjusted? What luck!

Too bad.

Going to see Tachibana?

Shall we carry it for you?

There's a corpse in it.

A real one?

Wait out there.

What's the bag for?

Who knows.

It's amazing!

ls it Kanzaki

Nonsense!

Who'd ask him?

I'm helping him.

Aren't you his woman?

No, I'm nobody's property.

You're wrong if you think all women depend on men.

Dependence on men spoils women.

Smart gal!

Drop in. I'll buy you a drink.

Being young is nice.

Okano!

Didn't I tell you to do it within a week?

I'm sorry.

It was a tough job.

Who is he?

He just got out of prison. He doesn't know a thing.

I see. I suspected so.

You're good looking.

Were you popular?

The fags would go ape over him.

How generous.

It's toilet paper.

What?

Excuse us.

Okano!

Learn how to handle your men.

Hey, Toshio!

Toshio!

Don't make me lose face so much.

Keep it.

Hey, Toshio.

You coming with me? I'll give you some gorgeous women.

Just looking at your face annoys me.

I'll decline the association until my wound's completely healed.

Hell!

It'll never heal.

Great.

It helps me look tough.

Three years.

I'll do what most would take ten years to do...

in just three years.

CLUB EL DORADO

Who hired such an expensive designer?

You said to do as I pleased.

We can't afford it right now.

I want to have my own place.

I'm staking my life on it.

Please!

I'll have someone else run it.

Look, I slaved for you for six years!

Bitch!

That's enough.

Who are you? Don't interfere!

Sorry.

I came to talk to her.

I'm hardly in the mood. Leave.

I want a job.

I'll be your bouncer.

All right, start now.

Get him out.

Me?

It's too much.

I get it.

I'll leave.

You went too far.

I had to call an ambulance.

Tachibana trained you?

I'd never met him before.

Really? You're new?

Tum right, take a subway.

No subway at this hour.

Then why not walk?

I don't like this.

Get out.

I wanted to work for you,

but I changed my mind.

Get out!

Did you hear me?!

Stop! You're crazy!

Stop!

Stop!

We'll be seen!

Let's go where we won't be.

I had to raise money to buy a building. Banks don't like me.

I borrowed from a loan shark.

But he went bankrupt.

My loan was transferred to Tachibana.

The amount was tenfold.

Ridiculous, isn't it?

Tell the cops.

I can't. We're alike.

Cheese.

The interest compounded.

He'd take everything from me.

So I sold the building.

Not that one.

I could get only...

half of what I paid for it.

I'm broke.

You're looking at a genuine pauper.

But you live in a ritzy place.

For appearance's sake.

I can't move into a tenement.

What?

With a scorpion-shaped scar on your eye,

"you'd look even better."

TWO MONTHS LATER

Come for me in an hour.

I almost forgot.

Pocket money.

Who's that?

Sir, thank you for inviting me.

Thanks for everything.

Members only. Will you leave?

You got promoted?

It's our first day.

No trouble, alright?

Who do you think you're talking to?

Careful you don't get hurt.

Welcome.

Nice place you have.

But I don't like your employees.

We choose our customers, too.

Have a drink and leave.

Nice smell.

I'll have milk.

Without sugar.

- Shut up! This joint is mine! - Please leave.

I made this place.

It's mine!

I worked hard for it.

But I got fired. Why?

Why is he here?

Let go, bastard!

Dump him out somewhere.

Being a bouncer isn't easy.

I hear you killed two.

Manager, I'm sorry.

More strangers got in.

Why stand here?

Sorry.

Let's go.

Let me stay longer.

Sorry to crash in.

She's a little drunk.

Go.

About business...

timing is important.

It's like tides.

Beware of ebbs and flows.

Make money when the tide flows.

My club will prosper.

I can tell it from the beginning.

This time I'll make it.

Leaving?

I don't work around the clock.

The woman's fingers were like asparagus.

They were very tasty.

That girl was pretty.

Don't smoke in bed.

Come early tomorrow.

We'll settle the parking problem.

You came to? Then leave.

I've got to get some sleep.

You brought me here?

You like to attack from behind.

You weren't serious.

If so, you would've used a knife.

Members only.

Then, let me in.

And you were watching me.

You stared at me.

I don't recall.

Got a girl?

Listen.

- Got one? - Knock it off.

Why?

I don't like drunken women.

What about men?

With me, I just kick them out.

If you get too drunk,

I'll have to put you in a taxi.

That means more work.

I must leave?

I'll never come again.

I'll leave for Hong Kong tomorrow.

I live there.

I'm half-Chinese.

I'll go before I get too drunk.

What?

Write your hotel name.

What for?

That's why you came here.

Think I won't cause you trouble later?

See that you don't.

She's taking a bath right now.

She said to wait twenty minutes.

Well... what are you to her?

I'm her butler.

My name is Chang.

Help yourself.

Also, we must leave early in the morning.

So please don't stay too long.

Excuse me.

How lovely! Thank you.

I'm not the type to wait for girls.

Not at all.

I'll leave.

Hey.

Who are you?

Ordinary women couldn't stay here.

I'm an ordinary woman.

Never mind.

I don't like questions, either.

Sleepy?

What about you?

Leaving early tomorrow?

My code: Minerals are sleeping.

Minerals?

Minerals sleep.

Plants are sensing.

Animals are waiting.

Man is thinking.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

One more time.

I'll come again in July.

We'll meet at that club.

Stop it!

Only this much for us?

Kid.

It's the going rate.

I decide my going rate.

Sorry, he's out of his mind.

Do we get more?

Bastard.

Big guys often have small tools.

Bastard

Forget that broad.

Work only for us. How about it?

Busy moonlighting?

Tachibana's no good.

Be wary of him.

If you want more money, I'll pay.

Cathay complained.

Her kickback was too small for what she did.

I don't understand.

You made her prostitute herself.

And Tachibana is behind it.

So what?

You jealous?

Me?

Of Tachibana?

I don't care who you're with.

What I mean is... now is the time.

Let me quit.

I don't need retirement pay.

Just lend me 20 million yen.

For a year.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

I contemplated while in prison.

As release day approached,

the cons mentioned their wishes.

Just routine stuff.

Rather than what I wanted to do,

I thought about what I didn't want to do.

No cheap booze.

No cheap women or jobs.

No more brothel messenger?

No more old women like me?

I need money to...

keep from doing what I hate.

You talk like a matured man.

I'll open a club.

I need money for it.

A club? You want to run one?

If you can run one, so can I.

Confident, huh?

What if I refuse?

Will you tell the cops about me?

Threatening you won't help.

Want it?

When you get to know...

how a woman feels.

Then you'll have it.

Mr. President, I heard that you have lands in Fuchu

and you are going to build some luxury apartments.

I don't know how it will all end, for a number of reasons.

- It takes so long to talk to them. - Mister.

When WWII ended, the Occupation Army came to Fuchu and...

I'd like to settle the "number of reasons."

I know the people you're dealing with. All you need is to force them out, right?

It'll cost you, of course.

What kind of people are you?

Nobody's here.

They all ran away.

How strange.

Karaoke?

A FEW MONTHS LATER

Not bad.

Madam.

Where's Toshio?

I didn't think you were serious.

I think better of you now.

I owe it to you.

You asked that congressman, huh?

You made the rightists move out.

You knew?

I should thank you for it.

But I don't approve.

Don't try to control me.

I knew you'd say that.

But let me tell you something.

Pride doesn't help in this line of business.

- Smile even at people you hate. - Don't preach to me.

I'll do it my way.

I'll stop anyone who interferes.

Even you.

How scary.

The police are watching you.

Careful, or you'll get busted.

Too bad.

I don't want you to preach to me, either.

Going home? I'll take you.

No thanks.

I'm not going home.

I'm expecting a guest.

I was in London!

I got back to Hong Kong and saw this.

I flew to Tokyo and got to the hotel at 10:30.

I washed and had some drinks to calm myself!

I'm nearly starved.

But I'm glad.

Tomorrow will rain.

No, let go!

Toshio, I'm sorry!

Sir.

What happened?

You called me up with such a death-bed voice.

The sight of you encourages me.

I was sad because men are insincere.

I heard about you.

Don't underrate the police.

They bully the weak.

There are plenty of bad people.

You too.

Hey, watch you tongue.

Please help me. I beg you.

Some woman.

This isn't enough.

A photo alone can't help.

Without my help,

you'd already be in jail.

It's Kanzaki again, huh?

Just pay your debt.

- But... - Listen.

I'm different. Nobody can crush me.

Got it?

Will you do it?

I opened the door.

Suddenly he pushed me onto a sofa.

He ripped off my shirt, and...

wildly, he...

It's a lie!

He forced me to remove my pants.

I tried to resist, but...

his power was overwhelming...

What's that?

Just remember.

We own something like this.

Another thing:

Taeko sold you this building...

for only 400 million yen.

But you mortgaged it for 2 billion.

Meaning what?

It's simple.

Pay us the balance.

1 billion, 600 million.

Pay in cash, or we'll take this building.

Impossible.

Welcome miss, have you had a good trip?

Hi, Yvan.

Has the miss spent good holidays?

Yes, yes... take care of the bags please.

- Very well, miss. - Hello, muss.

Hello Simone, this is Mr. Toshio. Please take good care of him.

- Welcome, sir. - Hello.

We aren't yakuza!

Are you through?

Why?

He says we're so dumb,

he can't sit and watch.

Smart kid!

Seems he wants to join us.

What?

I'll settle it in five days.

How much do you want?

100 million.

What are you up to?

Money.

Why not say you'd like to help me at a time like this?

It'd make me happier.

But it's not like you.

We don't need Tachibana.

We'll do it without him.

He won't step out so easily.

If he doesn't,

we'll crush him, too.

Then your income will double.

CONVEYANCE: TAEKO ICHIKAWA

Thoughtful, huh?

What brings you?

About Taeko...

That building sure was hers.

But that's all.

We'll work on it.

Meaning what?

We can do it without her.

We'll share that building.

Mouthwatering, isn't it?

Come on!

What are you doing?

Who are you?!

Where's the boss?

Boss! Boss!

Up! Stand!

Tell them to go away.

- Go away- - Boss!

Leave!

Do three things for me.

One: Tell your men not to tell the cops.

Two: Have this building closed for five days.

But...

my employees will make a big fuss.

Five holidays in a row.

No one will come.

Now, three:

Sign this.

What is it?

The contract to sell this building.

What?

Naturally, I won't pay you.

You'll steal it?

And the deed.

You have time.

Five days. Think about it.

Now

do as you're told.

Cancel my appointments for the next five days.

Good.

Think you can get away with it?

- Even if I sign it, the police will get wise- - You won't talk-.

- Don't make light of me. - You wake up to reality, too.

Five days without food and water.

The door is sealed. No one can get in.

No one can get in?

It means you can't get out, either.

Are you serious?

Well...

Let's get started.

Well?

That kid...

Will he make it?

I wonder.

FIRST DAY

I won't compromise.

No matter how long you wait here.

SECOND DAY

THIRD DAY

I'll sign it.

It's too soon.

You haven't yielded.

So, probably...

you'll tell the cops later.

It'll cause me trouble!

FOURTH DAY

FIFTH DAY

It's me.

And?

What about Taeko?

ls that so?

Good!

Thanks a lot.

The deed.

In a moment.

Someone, help!

Help!

Help!

Spare me. I'll do what you want.

You're the fourth.

Did something good happen?

Seems luck is returning to me.

Let me help with your next election.

What did you do?

Oh , nothing much.

Seems it's over.

CONVEYANCE: SIGNED BY TOSHIO HAYASE

That building is mine.

What?!

Stop that!

If it gets out that you're involved...

you'll lose the next election.

500 million.

What?

Sell your land and pay me.

I'll be waiting here next week.

This time you won't be safe.

HALF A YEAR LATER

You've no idea?

I know plenty of guys.

Must I be responsible for them all?

I know how you cops work.

You ask a guy with a criminal record first.

That's it, huh?

Sorry, but I'm busy.

It's okay.

They aren't wise to anything.

Frankly, I've improved.

I'll make it.

No sense fighting with small fry.

Right, Kudo?

It's America, right? America.

Right?

What's wrong?

Why don't you eat?

It's expensive grub.

I invited you here.

If you don't eat, I'll be embarrassed.

Dance with me?

No thanks.

Reika.

I like this music.

Allow me.

Don't butt in.

Stop it!

Boss...

Let go!

On your feet!

Boss.

What's wrong?!

What are you looking at?!

Say something!

ONE YEAR LATER

Stop the engine.

Stop the engine.

It's already stopped.

Somethings wrong with him.

He started acting oddly after Reika married an oil tycoon.

He's into prostitution with cheap burns.

He sure earns a lot.

There must be better ways to earn money.

He swills booze all day.

He rarely eats.

He doesn't speak to me.

He buys strange things.

He bought two warehouses.

I don't get him.

He's a mystery.

Madam...

You've lost weight.

Toshio.

Nice joint, huh?

I opened it today.

Opened it?

No sign. No customers.

Who'd come all the way here?

It's no time to loaf.

They found Tachibana's body.

Better watch out.

I'm expecting a guest.

Listening?

You did this because you're still thinking of that girl?

Think she'll come?

She likes to make me wait.

That's how she is.

She's that type.

Sorry, but I'm leaving.

It's Christmas.

My kid is waiting.

Got a family?

Yes, two children.

ls that so?

You may go.

Excuse me, then.

Hello?

Minerals are sleeping.

Plants are sensing.

Animals are waiting.

Hello?

How have you been?

You well?

Well?

I got...

a divorce.

Didn't like my husband.

Hello?

May I come and see you?

Can I see you?

Hello, Toshio?

Change the yen into dollars.

You handle the real estate.

Leaving tomorrow?

Yes.

Boss.

We'll take a detour.

Been a long time.

Want a drink?

Anything will do.

I see.

Reika is coming.

I'll meet her at the airport.

ls that so?

It's yours. Take it.

I'll never lose.

It's just starting.

It's only the beginning.
