FUYA JO The Sleepless Town

Yeah.

OK.

This way, hurry.

Long time no see.

Hey, Jing Yi is here!

Did you bring that for me?

Let me have a look.

I want to help my brother get a visa. But...

Can you buy me a passport?

Sure, if you have the money.

What's up, Xiu Hong? Any good news for me?

Well, apparently,

Fu-chun is back from Nagoya.

Say that again?

Fu-chun is back.

Idiot.

Why did he come back? He should stay there.

- Who saw him? - Yuan Cheng-gui's thug. For sure.

Shit.

Your man's thug, huh. Which one?

Sun Chun.

What should we do?

Yuan Cheng-gui will force you to give up Fu-chun.

Man! What is it with you Shanghai people?

Why do you always lump me together with Fu-chun?

Why do you make me responsible for his actions?

He killed Mr. Yuan's right-hand man.

Of course we will give you the credit,

because you are his right-hand man.

Sun Chun, what are you doing here?

I have full access to any of the places owned by Mr. Yuan.

Fu-chun's problems have nothing to do with me.

You still have a hard head. You can endure more hits.

Mr. Sun, I am not Fun-chun's right-hand man.

We were just old partners.

Sun Chun, what else do you want? Stop playing the tough-guy.

Mr. Yuan wanted to see you tomorrow. 1 pm.

Hey, remember, don't try to run away.

We just got a call from Hong Kong...

saying that nobody won the three horse racing lotteries.

That means with all three lotteries combined, the total pot...

is 400 million Hong Kong dollars or 6,400 million Japanese Yen.

Mr. Sun, you want to join Mr. Jing Yi in placing a bet?

OK. Then buy me a definite winner,

you got that, Jing Yi?

If you are still alive by then.

This is what we got today. And this is for the ladies' bet.

What a lively Chinese New Year! This year's Hong Kong lottery...

is the most exciting we've had in years, don't you agree?

OK, that'll do.

Jian Yi, why don't you run away?

Go to America. I'll use my connections.

The worst thing about nightmares is...

you forget them the second your eyes jerk open.

I have lots of nightmares...

but I don't remember any.

I'm worried one day I will.

Lately, even being with a woman feels like a nightmare.

- Hello. - Hello?

Mr. Ryu?

Mr. Wang told me to call you.

Which Wang is that?

From Mr. Yuan's place.

Hello?

Hello?

Yeah.

I've got something to sell.

I hear you'll deal in anything but children's organs.

- What is it? - I'll show you in person.

By the Furin Bldg. at 2 pm today. OK?

OK?

OK, but if you don't see me there, just forget it.

- And your name is? - Natsumi.

By the way, Natsumi,

there is no Wang at Mr. Yuan's.

See you this afternoon.

- Hey, bro. - Tian Wen, go to pick up Mr.Ye.

OK.

I heard Fu-chun was back from Nagoya.

Yuan Cheng-gui wants me to see him this afternoon.

- Where are you going? - To take my morning tea.

Is this a good time for morning tea?

Are you coming to me for something?

Dad, have you decided? I tell you what...

Ken!

How come you never come visit your own sister? What's the deal?

Oh Mom, you're here.

Seems Tian Wen hired a chef from Hong Kong. It'll be a great meal.

- Sister. - Oh, you're here too?

Hey, Ken'ichi!

- Hey, how's it goin'? - Great.

- Look at this new comic book. - Alright, come sit down.

Hi, Grandpa.

Tian Wen is back. And so is Uncle Ye.

Mr. Ye, you came from Yokohama so early.

It is such an honor for me.

- He can't wait to taste the food. - Welcome. Welcome.

- Uncle Ye. - Jing Yi...

How lucky to have two sons,

Tian Wen and Jian Yi, with such different talents.

People like us...

who adhere to the old ways are just seen as talky old men.

The Fukianese just opened a new restaurant with a Hong Kong chef.

No wonder Tian Wen was so nervous!

I'm sure they're no match for Tian Wen.

But they are careful planners. Don't underestimate them.

Perhaps Tian Wen's restaurant should add some Cantonese dishes.

Taiwanese dishes don't really have a wide appeal here.

People who came to Japan from China are mainly from Shanghai,

Beijing, and Guangzhou.

Those people just love Cantonese food. Am I right?

So, you still haven't talked to Dad?

Whatever. Seeing Yuan Cheng-gui is no big deal.

If Yuan and his Shanghai thugs lay a hand on you...

the old man'll lose face.

Don't worry, bro. Dad will help you.

Now, let's go be sociable.

No thanks.

They're speaking Taiwanese. I can't follow the conversation.

Well, you never tried to learn it.

No, because nobody bothered to teach me.

I think I'd use my 300 million...

to open a new restaurant. What do you think?

Guo You, can you call your friend Cui Hu?

I wonder if he can meet with Jian Yi this afternoon.

Tell him it's for me.

No problem.

Jian Yi, the rest depends on you.

Cui Hu from Beijing? Ken, did you have trouble with him again?

You must come to our Chinese New Year dinner. Don't forget.

In this situation, you may want to reconsider

that job opportunity in Hong Kong arranged by Mr.Ye.

He just mentioned that you have plenty of time to go tonight.

What other news have you heard?

There must be a reason Fu-chun came back.

You mean I am in danger.

Reconciliation between gangs always requires a scapegoat.

Tell me your decision on Hong Kong after you see Yuan.

Ken'ichi, let's go to the game center!

Hey, will you do me a favor?

Of course! What is it? Something dangerous?

Spying.

- Yes! - Shu-rui, come here!

- In a minute. - Shu-rui!

I know you Taiwanese hate me. Why should I help you?

I'm not one of them.

Right. Right. Right.

You're scum. You're actually a Chinese-Japanese mongrel.

It seems that you even killed one Taiwanese.

You and Wu Fu-chun...

had some motley group called Nu Luo Quan.

A raggedy-ass bunch of war orphans and renegades,

cocky sons of bitches, thumbing your nose at the rest of us.

So why beg for help from a Beijinger?

I'm not here to beg. I have a deal to offer you.

Yeah, right. You're so full of shit.

I know you want to create an underground bank,

but you can't do it without Japanese citizenship.

I'm willing to lend you my citizenship. How about it?

You really are a son of a bitch.

You'd betray your ancestors to make a deal? You little fuck!

You mother-fucker!

You think anyone in Shinjuku can try to bargain with me?

Look, I'm offering you a good deal here.

I will see what benefits I can get from you.

I'll call Yuan Cheng-gui right now. Let you live a bit longer.

Am I greedy? Yes. I want to try you out

just to see what I can get.

It seems Mr. Ryu has already had lunch.

Courtesy of Cui Hu.

How did you like the Beijing dish?

You spread the rumor everywhere...

that I, Yuan Cheng-gui, was out to get you.

Mr. Yang and Cui Hu also come to help you.

I remember when you first came here,

you spent much time reading the TALE OF THREE KINGDOMS.

If I'm not mistaken, I lent you that book.

You should be familiar with the relationship of those characters.

You know what, Mr. Qian likes you.

He said you have some talents.

But I think you are Lu Bu, the house slave, who'll serve anyone.

You'll call whoever gives you milk "Mom".

Well, perhaps I can't argue with you there.

It was the same when you were partners with Wu Fu-chun.

Mr. Yuan, perhaps you've forgotten. As I told you,

we had already parted ways before he killed your friend a year ago.

Ah yes, I remember you mentioned that.

Say it!

Fu-chun's actions are not my concern. We've parted ways.

Do you want to see the first part, too?

I only watched two videos this year.

This is one of them.

The other is from my brother's funeral.

Listen. Fu-chun has no other friends in this town.

He'll come to you.

It is only three days to Chinese New Year.

Give me Fu-chun,

And you'll play Mahjon and have fun just like everyone else.

- Mr. Yuan... - I've already been easy on you!

We Shanghai people are very kindhearted.

I will try my best.

I almost forgot.

Did I ever return that book to you?

What was Natsumi like?

Real pretty like a hostess. You'd want to meet her.

Enough of that.

She came back home, then left again within five minutes.

I pretended I knocked on the next door by mistake.

The lady there told me all about Natsumi.

She said Natsumi came from Nagoya four days ago.

She even borrowed the lady's phone to call Nagoya.

It's this one. Room 203.

203?

- Don't tell anyone. - OK, man.

I've never been to Nagoya.

Don't even know how far it is from Shinjuku.

Someone from Nagoya... What would they want from me?

I should forget about this woman,

find Wu Fu-chun in Shinjuku and hand him over to Yuan Cheng-gui.

Or maybe just forget everything and get out of town?

But I'm used to waiting.

Seems I've always been waiting for something,

and I'd rather wait here than outside.

Who's there?

Don't move!

So you are Natsumi.

You want to sell me something?

And you're Mr. Ryu.

Thought you weren't interested.

I don't do business with strangers.

Had to check on you first.

That's why you broke into my room?

Carrying a gun, too?

Well, you know. Just in case you were with someone dangerous.

Well, you could have taken off your shoes.

It's the Japanese custom, right?

I had to keep them on,

so that if he was a big thug, I could escape out the window.

- Hi, I'm Ken'ichi Ryu. - I'm Natsumi Sato.

- You're Chinese, right? - I'm Japanese, raised in China.

- Where in China? - Up north, in a small village.

A war orphan's kid?

So what? You are from Taiwan yourself.

Can I have one?

How did you hear about me?

Answer my question, first.

You're sure no Wang works for Yuan Cheng-gui?

I don't know.

Lots of men work for him. There could be a Wang or a Chin.

You're not the Shinjuku working girl type.

- Who told you about me? - Wu Fu-chun.

I'm from Nagoya.

I'm Fu-chun's girl.

What's wrong?

Where is he now?

I don't know.

You don't know? Aren't you his woman?

How could you not know?

Don't you want to know what I'm trying to sell you?

Don't change the subject.

- Wu Fu-chun. - What?

I want to sell Wu Fu-chun. I ran away from Nagoya.

I knew he'd come after me. That's why I came to Shinjuku.

I knew he was wanted in Shinjuku.

I figured I'd lure him up here and sell him to you.

To Ken'ichi Ryu, who'd buy anything but children's organs.

That's what he said about you.

Got any ideas?

That's where you come in, isn't it?

I haven't accepted the deal yet.

I'll be in touch.

I had to get away from her fast.

I had the feeling that she already had me on a string.

Oh, Ken! Long time no see. Go on in.

Long time no see.

Is Tozawa here?

Oh, how are you?

Hey, how have you been?

Here is the God of Luck.

Will you excuse me, please? I'll pay you all back later.

Have you ever won here?

No, but only the Thais will give me credit here in Shinjuku.

I'm banned from my own Korean circle.

Anyway, how much are you paying me?

200,000 yen.

Half up front.

The rest when you finish.

And what do you want to know?

About Wu Fu-chun.

A war orphan's son.

Japanese name "Tomio Sakamoto".

Returned from Jilin, China in 1984 and lived in Chiba.

I knew that much.

- Yeah, you were buddies. - A long time ago, we were.

So what is it you want to know?

He hardly ever speaks of the past. And never about his family.

His parents are still living in Chiba, I think.

See if he contacted his parents recently.

And one more thing.

About his old acquaintances.

Didn't he once write an article about war orphans?

- I'm counting on you. - Sure, no sweat.

And make it fast.

By when?

Before I get killed.

What happened here?

Wu Fu-chun shot up the Shanghai Group, injuring some.

He was after a woman.

Stay back!

Did something happen?

You really don't know?

Your Fu-chun raided Yuan's mistress' club.

He was looking for you.

Yuan must be looking for the three of us right now...

Fu-chun, his woman, and me.

This is too close to Shinjuku. Come with me.

- Where are we going? - To Iidabashi.

A place I'm looking after for somebody I know.

What's so funny?

I'm just happy...

It's nothing.

How can you take this so lightly?

It's just nice that you're worried about me.

Don't misunderstand me.

You are just a pawn in my hand. Got it?

Is that so?

Natsumi called Fu-chun in Nagoya and lured him here

to Shinjuku by telling him she had been captured by Yuan.

A woman capable of such betrayal was a now a pawn in my hand.

Or was I a pawn in her hand?

Well... This is a nice apartment.

Not quite finished yet, though.

It's a Japanese custom to take off your shoes, you know?

Sorry about that.

Hey...

Does this shower work?

Can I take a shower?

Oh, thank you!

May I speak to Papa Yang?

Jian Yi, where are you?

I'm somewhere that even Yuan can't find me.

Yuan Cheng-gui was very angry,

looking all over Shinjuku for you. But he's calmed down now.

Are you sure?

I reasoned with him on your behalf.

I said no matter how stupid you are,

you wouldn't dare join Fu-chun in such nonsense.

Be very careful in handing Fu-chun over to Yuan.

How did it go?

I need money.

How much?

2 million.

Why so much?

I've searched every hotel and restaurant,

and now I need help from friends.

When do you need it?

Wait a second.

I'll send a woman.

It's too dangerous for me to be Shinjuku.

OK.

I'm going out. I'll be right back.

OK.

Your Natsumi is a fake.

This is the real Natsumi. She died in a car accident.

It's easily done.

She dies, and her passport remains valid.

The woman at your place buys it,

applies for credit cards,

and sets up a new identity.

Thanks. Go to Okubo and get your stuff from the Colombian.

- Put it on my account. - Thank you.

I knew you were capable of anything, but...

I didn't know you were this devious.

What's the matter?

You checked my wallet and passport, didn't you?

You're my new client.

If you were me,

you'd check my passport and wallet, too.

Wouldn't you, Miss 'Natsumi Sato'?

What about going through my trunk in my room?

Touching my panties...

didn't you get all excited?

What's wrong?

Don't you want me?

Cut it out.

Get dressed. I've got a job for you.

I just showered. Do I have to go out again?

I need your help.

OK, then.

This is Ken'ichi.

I need a car right away.

No, no. Not that.

This one.

This one? Then I need to put on makeup.

Do that, then.

You haven't asked why I left Fu-chun.

I don't need to ask.

No one can stay around a guy like that.

Especially a woman.

But something is odd...

He's never been one to take risks for a woman.

Go straight for 50 meters or so, to New Center Street.

On the right, there's a Chinese herb store called Seikando.

An old guy with gray hair is the owner. Tell him I sent you.

Hello, Ken?

You only have two days left.

Mr. Yuan is worried you might not live much longer.

- Hello? - Ken? Where are you?

Xiu-hong.

We just opened the door,

and Fu-chun burst in and started yelling.

Our staff tried to block him.

Then came the shooting, and all hell broke loose.

And at some point, somebody pushed me down.

I don't know what happened next.

I was unconscious for a long time, it seems.

When I woke up,

Fu-chun was in my face,

pointing the gun at me and asking, "where is my girl"?

I asked him, who is your girl?

I thought he was going to shoot me. I was scared to death.

The police had arrived when I woke up again.

I guess he let me go, considering we were old friends.

Yang Weimin told me that he appeased Yuan Cheng-gui.

Appeased him? Just cut him a deal.

A deal?

Yuan talked with Yang on the phone for a long time.

They were negotiating.

Did you catch the details?

I only know there's a storm coming.

Fu-chun chose this time to show up, just like adding oil onto a fire.

Someone always gets sacrificed when a storm is brewing.

Is that so?

Yang Weimin has told me this.

Why don't you just run?

It might be too late.

And I don't really want to leave right now.

Because of her?

Anyway, I'm gonna go now.

Who was that?

This is for you.

- How was Kabuki-cho? - It was quiet.

A drunk Japanese man asked me how much I was.

All because you made me dress like this.

There's only 1.9 million yen here.

Oh, yeah... I took 100,000 yen.

You did?

The info I sold you was worth much more than that.

That's a different business transaction.

How much longer are you gonna fool around here?

I need money for my own protection.

- Give it back to me. - Lend it to me, then.

I borrowed this at 20% interest for 10 days.

You can borrow it from me on the same terms.

Tightwad!

Oh, there was someone who wanted to see you.

Who?

You're the 3rd person today to tell me to leave Kabuki-cho.

I don't know about the other two...

but as your brother, I'm really worried about you.

Give up this Yakuza shit.

Maybe you can have a regular day job, but I can't.

And you know why you can't?

Just like Yuan Cheng-gui, Cui Hu and his cronies,

you're living in the past.

You're behind the times.

Everyone's going global.

To keep up with the rest, Kabuki-cho needs a revolution.

Old useless things must go.

Fu-chun's showed up at a time like this.

For everyone, it's a perfect chance to clean house.

Do you get what I'm saying?

They're trying to take over Shinjuku.

The Ye Group of Yokohama...

and the Fujian Group of Ikebukuro.

Using the port of Yokohama, the Ye Group...

has been smuggling drugs, guns...

and foreign prostitutes into Japan.

The Fujian Group is illegally investing in real estate.

Following Ye's orders, Old Yang's buying up Shinjuku.

Little Wen...

I need only one favor from you.

I'll see Yuan Cheng-gui at your restaurant on New Year's Eve,

and turn in Wu Fu-chun.

Persuade Old Yang to be there as a witness.

At my restaurant?

Don't worry. Yuan Cheng-gui won't live to show up.

You know I hate stuff like that!

OK, I'll do my part.

But after that, we are no longer brothers.

And...

don't ever call me "Little Wen" anymore.

Got it?

Yeah. You won't have to call me "big brother" anymore.

And one last thing.

Stay away from that woman.

Wong Faye... she's a singer from Beijing. Do you know her?

You're really a cold-hearted one.

Why?

Little Wen really cares about you.

Doesn't he?

Whatever.

Anyway, nothing good ever happens to people who hang around me.

My brother, or girlfriends, or whoever.

So are you afraid of me hanging around you?

Or are you afraid of being with me?

What do you mean?

I don't know these streets, but...

I do know that we've been driving around for nowhere.

You don't wanna go home 'cause...

you're afraid to be alone with me.

Don't waste your time.

Say...

Ever done it in a car before?

Don't you like Wong Faye?

What's this song?

- Unforgettable... - Your favorite song?

Back when my mother was with a black pianist...

they played it every night during sex.

Is that your childhood memory?

I like this song.

Then you can have it.

Do me a favor.

We'll be together for the next few days.

Let's be lovers. Even if you're just pretending, I don't mind.

Even for one or two days.

Whatever you want.

Really?

Great.

This will be our song, then.

Hello?

Fu-chun?

Where are you right now?

OK. I'm on my way.

Get a taxi and go home.

Can't I come with you?

No way.

Hey, let's go for a drive!

- Hey, let's go for a drive! - Aw, come on!

- Come on! - Why not?

Enough! Beat it!

How's life treating you?

How's your life treating you?

If I said I wanted to kill Yuan, would you lend me a hand?

Let me ask YOU first.

I'm listening.

You never cared about any woman before...

but it seems you're hell-bent on finding one right now.

Who is she?

A year ago,

why did I have to leave Shinjuku?

Because you killed Yuan's right-hand man.

Why did I kill him?

I don't know.

This is no time for a quiz show.

What's the hurry?

Got somewhere to go?

I've been hiding...

for three whole days.

And we can't even have a nice conversation? Huh?

Then we'll talk as much as we want.

When we the sons of war orphans were living in Chiba,

we were always picked on by the Japanese.

That's why we formed the Dragons.

I know that.

A girl from my hometown in China was sent to a gang.

One was a guy from Shanghai, who taught them how to fight.

The girl was only 14.

She ended up being a bar hostess.

She came to me for help.

And she became my woman.

And this guy from Shanghai was Yuan Cheng-gui's right-hand man,

the one that you killed?

Three days ago, Xiao-lian called and told me Yuan had her.

- Xiao-lian? - Xiao-lian.

My girl.

You get her out of Yuan's, then we'll go kill him together.

It's good that you didn't kill Xiu-hong.

She thinks you didn't because you used to be friends.

I'll kill anyone who's with Yuan, but...

That shithead Sun-chun showed up, so I got the hell outta there.

He came so close to killing me.

Xiu-hong didn't know that.

Maybe she can help Xiao-lian.

I'll ask her for you.

And where will I find you?

You know dragons?

Dragons?

Look for a dragon at Shinjuku Station. You'll find me there.

- What are you up to? - I have a surprise for you.

You still haven't agreed to kill Yuan.

Hello, Jian Yi. I heard that...

you have some girl with you.

But she might be bad luck.

How did you sleep last night?

Mr. Sun, I hardly slept at all.

What's wrong?

I had a nightmare.

What about?

I don't remember.

Weren't you dreaming of making love with somebody?

Where did you go?

Ah, I was awake, so I went shopping.

I cleaned the place, and...

it finally looks like someone lives here, doesn't it?

Look!

If I'm your girl, I should take care of our house, right?

Shouldn't I?

- How about telling me the truth! - What's wrong?

You're not Natsumi Sato.

What did Fu-chun tell you?

- You grew up with him in China. - That's right.

We were neighbors.

Our mothers were war orphans in China.

We met here in Japan.

Is that all?

Is that the only lie?

If you don't tell me the truth, how can I trust you?

When I was very young, my parents used to hit me.

Then later...

Fu-chun hit me.

Are you going to hit me, too?

No, I'm not...

Ken'ichi, Ken'ichi...

But...

you're not serious about killing him, are you?

The truth is...

when I was 12,

I was raped by him.

Are you happy now?

All the men who came to me only wanted one thing.

But with you, I don't mind.

I want to trust you...

but I can't.

Whether we become lovers or not.

I don't care.

Even if you don't believe me.

I shouldn't have broken into her room.

I shouldn't have opened her trunk, either.

Ken'ichi, Ken'ichi.

Be gentle. You're not like the others, are you?

I'm sorry.

How can I compare you with them?

I didn't think things would get this complicated.

Can we still do it as we planned?

I've never been to a hot spring.

Why don't we leave everything behind and go to one together?

Hmmm, we can go to one anytime.

I haven't even done such a simple thing.

Fu-chun once said...

There are only two kinds of people.

Cheaters and the cheated.

We'd steal credit cards and go on a shopping spree.

Kids' clothes, mostly.

A few days later, Xiu-hong would return them...

saying they didn't fit.

No one suspects a housewife who returns baby clothes.

Have you ever killed anyone?

Just once.

Hello?

Tian-wen...

What is it?

Now?

You really have a woman helper.

She is not a helper, she is Fu-chun's woman.

I will use her to lure Fu-chun out.

She already contacted Fu-chun.

So what's your plan?

I will call Yuan Cheng-gui tomorrow,

telling him that I already had a Malaysian capture Fu-chun.

The meeting place must be known territory.

Tian Wen's Tao Yuan restaurant.

The time will be 5 pm.

You will be present, so Yuan will feel comfortable to come.

But actually...

Actually, Fu-chun will kill Yuan...

before he gets to the restaurant.

Am I right?

If Yuan Cheng-gui is killed,

will the Shanghai gang give up?

The Shanghai gang has been fighting among themselves.

I am sure you know this.

Mr. Qian has dreamed of being No.1 for a long time.

Xiu Hong won't lie for me.

We'll be asked to show them Fu-chun's body.

- We'll pretend to check. Right? - Could it be that simple?

That is my worry.

You just need to prove I will hand Fu-chun to Yuan.

It seems we will have a feast this Chinese New Year dinner.

How's business?

It's good. Thank you.

I'll count on you tomorrow.

- I'll be going now. - Ok.

- Xiao Gang, hang it up higher! - OK.

Oh, I almost forgot. Your mom wanted me to remind you,

The New Year dinner's tomorrow night.

Same place, Tao Yuan restaurant.

Mr. Ye will come and wanted to see you there.

OK.

So lovely!

I will drive you two out.

Oh!

Such a beauty!

Where did you get her?

Fu-chun's woman.

Fu-chun? Is his life in the hands of Yang and you?

Jian Yi, since you invited me to join this show,

I decided I will play my role seriously,

so you have to tell me what will happen tomorrow among you guys.

I'm worried I can't offer any help if you tell me too late.

Tomorrow I'll hand Fu-chun over to Yuan.

Your lover is not telling me the truth.

But you'll tell me, right? Let's go somewhere and chat.

Let's compare who is better in bed.

Him, of course.

How can you know without letting me have a try?

OK, I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

I will let Fu-chun kill Yuan Cheng-gui.

Good idea.

I'm so excited I almost wet myself.

Jian Yi, this girl should belong to me,

but I'll let you have her for now.

Pull over!

Kill that bastard.

Wait here.

After waiting so long, I went to find a restroom.

Restroom, huh?

Not a telephone?

What do you mean?

You still don't trust me?

I haven't decided to trust you yet.

I don't know anyone in Tokyo.

Who would I call?

Somebody who wants information.

Or that Cui-hu who just showed up.

Maybe not. Or, you called Cui-hu so you'll have a sure way out.

I don't even have his number.

Why would I call him? I hate him. That's absurd.

There are always telephone books in telephone booths.

What are you doing?

If you won't trust me...

what else can I do?

Can you stand up?

Are you OK?

I only went to the toilet.

Of course...

I did something else, too.

A guy like you wouldn't know what day it is today.

Happy Valentine's Day!

What's wrong?

Did I blow it again?

You don't like it?

You want to become a bat like me?

Sure, I do.

Where are we going?

Bats follow their instincts.

Then we should play our song.

How could you!

What's the matter?

What if the owner's around? Can we really just go in?

If only it would snow.

We can't have everything.

Let's not have sex tonight.

Just hold me tonight.

I wasn't planning on it anyway.

Mr. Yuan?

5 pm today, at Tao Yuan restaurant.

Please don't bring more than two people,

otherwise it will be chaotic,

and I can't guarantee it will go as planned.

OK, OK, Yeah.

There.

Thank you.

Go ahead and eat. I have to do something, OK?

- Call my cell in 15 minutes. - Why?

Never mind. 15 minutes. Got it?

Fu-chun?

Fu-chun!

Do you remember Jiro?

Ah, the ex-police inspector.

I'll go wash up. Enjoy the visit.

No wonder no one found you anywhere in Shinjuku.

Best place to hide is in plain sight.

Well? Did you find out where Xiao-lian is?

Don't worry. Xiu-hong was able to get her out of Yuan's.

Ah, now I can kill the bastard without worrying about her.

Today at 5 pm, Yuan and two of his men will pass here.

I'm to meet them at the Tao Yuan Restaurant.

At 4:45 pm, a boy will come and give you a sports bag.

You'll find a shotgun and a walkie-talkie in it.

Don't make a move till I give you a sign.

Hello?

Xiao-lian?

I'm with Fu-chun right now.

Tell him you're safe at Xiu-hong's.

Xiao-lian?

I'm so relieved you're safe.

Don't worry.

I'm going to kill that son-of-a-bitch.

Until then... Xiao-lian?

Why did she hang up?

Xiao-lian?

Anyway, once it's done, get out fast.

I'll bring Xiao-lian to the cemetery. We'll meet there.

OK. The place we used in the old days?

- Yeah. - Wait a minute.

One last thing...

Buy a lottery ticket for tonight's draw.

For me and Xiao-lian. For our future.

OK.

Hello? I'd like the number for Mistral in Shinjuku.

What the hell are you doing?

Tell this lady who sent you here.

Don't be so violent. I wanted you to interrogate him.

I thought you signaled me to kick him.

Tell Mr. Ye I appreciate it, but I don't need protection.

You called Old Yang and told him that we were there, didn't you?

I did what?

No one knew we were in that coffee shop.

That's right.

But I never thought he'd send someone to follow us.

When you went to collect the cash that day, he probably said,

"you can't trust Ken'ichi...

Call me if anything happens"?

If you knew, then why did you ask me?

So you told Yang yesterday about Cui-hu, too.

Remember?

The cheaters and the cheated?

We're the ones that cheat.

Why were you able to fool me?

Just think about it.

If you can't trust me, try someone else.

My plan won't change, with or without you.

Anyway, be careful.

Hello?

I'm glad I made it in time.

I don't die that easily. So?

Fu-chun's father died of lung cancer five years ago.

His mother is in Chiba, on welfare.

His older brother's in prison for murder.

Fu-chun is the second son and...

has two sisters. The oldest died at age four in China.

The younger sister's name is Machiko.

Fu-lian in Chinese.

Her family calls her Xiao-lian.

She's even wilder than Fu-chun.

She ran with a gang in Chiba, doing robbery and... you name it.

She had trouble with the gang, and...

unbelievably, she slept with her oldest brother so he'd help her.

And he ended up in prison for murder.

So she did the same thing with Fu-chun.

She's the kind that'll do anything.

Rumor has it that she even killed someone.

Do you want to kill me?

I didn't think you'd come back...

I didn't think I'd ever see you again.

No, no.

I'd like to know more about you...

Wu Fu-lian. Fu-chun's little sister.

You found out.

I'll tell you the whole truth.

Will you listen?

Whatever you want. We've got some time.

When we just returned to Japan...

we couldn't even speak Japanese.

We had no money.

Kids picked on us at school.

That's old news. I'm familiar with that.

I was sent to a gang...

to become the leader's mistress.

That bastard...

Passed me around to anyone who wanted to sleep with me.

I couldn't take it anymore.

So I went to my oldest brother for help.

Then I slept with him.

He killed three of them for me...

and went to jail.

And then...

Fu-chun came to me, wanting me to sleep with him.

I ran away from home when I was 17.

Then last year, Fu-chun found me in Nagoya.

I swear to you...

it was rape.

And then...

he moved into my place...

asking for money all the time.

He hit me...

and worse than that,

he even got me pregnant.

Pregnant with his child...

my own brother's baby.

That's why I had an abortion.

Ken'ichi!

Let's run away.

Forget everything...

the plan, killing Yuan...

I've got some money. It's true.

Betraying someone...

and being betrayed.

Let's go to where we don't have to think about these things.

Let's go right now.

It's too late, Xiao-lian.

We can't go back now.

It's gotten too big.

There's nothing I can do about it now.

Even if I know it'll fail...

I've gotta go through with it.

Besides, the place you want to go to...

doesn't exist anywhere.

Get dressed. It's time.

You kill Fu-chun yourself.

It's for you.

Mrs. Yang. How are you? Yes. Thank you.

If Mrs. Yang is going to be there, it should be safe.

Yuan is waiting for you on the phone. Line 2.

Let's get this over with so we can enjoy the holiday dinner.

Let's go.

- What's happening? Tell me! - Scram!

Look out! There are two goons at your 10 o'clock.

I'll get 'em both.

Hello?

He's coming.

OK. You get going. Let's meet at Takada-no-baba.

- Yuan is right on time. - Roger.

Hi, Mr. Ye.

- Sorry to have you come so early. - Thank you indeed.

Mr. Ye said that he thanks you for inviting him to dinner.

You're most welcome.

Yuan's crossing the street now.

He's crossing the street!

Are you listening?

Ken'ichi! I was looking all over for you! I need your help.

I want a lottery ticket, too!

Is Shu-rui here?

Not yet. I thought he was coming with you.

It's 500 million yen, right?

Later, later.

Move!

Move it!

Ken'ichi!

- What are doing here? - I wanted to be with you.

Get going!

Get down!

Run, quick!

Even you betrayed me.

Isn't this just perfect.

I'm not against you and I repeatedly asked you to run away.

It was Fu-chun's fault and you shouldn't have interfered.

You can still be the mistress of the leader of the Shanghai Gang.

But the leader is now Mr. Sun.

But Mr. Sun, don't forget Yuan Cheng-gui died before you,

and so did Mr. Qian.

We will win if we have your and Fu-chun's dead bodies.

Let's get something straight.

It was your thug who whacked Fu-chun,

but who killed Yuan Cheng-gui?

Cui Hu's thug. But I appreciate your help.

So this is what Yang did for Mr. Ye to control Shinjuku.

Cui Hu figured that...

the Shanghai Gang would have to give up without Yuan Cheng-gui.

It's just like the TALE OF THREE KINGDOMS.

So the one who wants to lead the Shanghai Gang is you, right?

This guy is the dog who betrays his master and fucks his woman.

I have ambitions too, you know.

Yang Weimin promised to give me the dance club.

But anyway,

where were you going?

You had planned to kill Fu-chun, right?

Hey, mind if I smoke?

Go ahead.

Shout again, and I'll kill you.

- Can I answer my phone? - Do it quickly.

Hello?

Yes. Yeah. OK.

Lottery's over.

Was there a winner?

Don't touch it.

Xiu-hong! Xiu-hong!

Don't even think about it.

Xiao-lian...

Xiao-lian?

Xiao-lian...

Xiao-lian!

Please kill your brother.

Please.

Goodbye, my brother.

Are you going to Tao Yuan's with all these cops around?

Yes. Papa Yang and Mr. Ye are having a meeting right now.

I have set things straight.

- Let's go. - Already?

Yes, let's go!

Ken'ichi!

Hi Ken'ichi!

Ken'ichi!

What's going on?

Are you guys surprised I am still alive?

I'll ask you to reconsider the situation this evening.

Especially the new leader of the Shanghai Gang,

Boss Qian.

You don't mind me telling this story, do you?

The story is really simple. Xiu-hong seduced Sun Chun...

and conspired with Fu-chun...

to kill Yuan Cheng-gui.

Then they kill each other because of conflicting interests.

Am I right?

I made an anonymous call to the police, and...

it seems the bodies of three people were found.

Does this sound logical?

It sounds OK.

What do you think, Mr. Ye?

Mr. Ye said it sounds logical.

But it will be correct only if Mr. Qian agrees.

Sun Chun long dreamed of being the leader.

As others can surely testify.

Let's just conclude here.

For Jian Yi, that is it.

But the problem for Ms. Xia Mei is more serious.

What do you mean?

Three days ago, somebody from Nagoya came to see Mr. Ye,

looking for Fun-chun and his woman.

He said that he took about 600 million...

from the underground bank in Nagoya,

and killed two staff.

Now Fu-chun is dead already.

So I am afraid that Ms. Xia Mei will be made responsible.

Otherwise, Mr. Ye will lose face.

So how can Mr. Ye save face?

It's really quite simple.

It was she that created all these problems.

She wanted Fu-chun killed by Yuan Cheng-gui...

so she could have all the money.

It was all for money?

If we pin it all on her, Xiu Hong and Sun Chun, it will make sense.

How about return the money?

Well, that's a start.

Where is the money?

I bought a house.

That was either very smart or very stupid.

OK, let's sell the house, then.

Mr. Ye says it's too late. No one has time for that.

We have must resolve this tonight.

- I have another idea. - Hey...

Don't talk about options anymore.

You are lucky to be alive.

No, just listen.

Here's what happened.

Actually, Mr. Ye wanted to control all the dance clubs.

Are you crazy?

Then collude with Mr. Qian to kill Yuan.

Then these two men killed each other,

So all Shinjuku and Yokohama will belong to Yang Weimin.

How does that sound?

It's OK.

Why didn't you kill Yang?

Because he's the type who can handle the police and others.

We may need to split up. Take this with you.

How did you know Yang would kill Qian-bo?

Papa Yang wanted to set Xui-hong up...

so he'd control the Shanghai Group from behind.

And he'd always wanted Ye's position.

- I just sped things up. - Is that why he let you go?

I see he's as quick as ever.

Papa Yang is just like a God.

He said you would escape from the hand of Xiu Hong.

Jian Yi, you outsmarted everybody...

and were about to escape through the balcony...

but I am not an idiot.

Let's go for a drive.

You did me a great favor...

and actually helped me a great deal. I owe you one.

Submitting to Mr. Yang is not my long term strategy.

Tonight my task is to hand you two over.

But in reality,

I want to keep one alive as a witness,

so I can make sure to intimidate Mr. Yang later.

It is hard to choose who is gonna die.

If you are chosen, you will die and you cannot talk again.

I don't mind saving this pretty girl so I may use her later.

Is there no chance of letting us go together?

You can run now, but you can't hide.

If one dies, the other will be safe indeed.

If you like, I can help you.

Don't touch me.

You thought I didn't know you had a gun?

Clever lady.

You sure this gun should be pointed at me in this situation?

Jian Yi, here's the thing.

I know you said I could have her. Sorry it ended up like this.

Xiao-lian, shoot me if you want to.

He's right.

Don't think about it.

What are you doing?

Shoot me now!

And here's the climax of a great show!

You bitch, you actually went for it.

She missed the chance.

That is her destiny.

This woman...

will kill us one day.

We don't have the good luck to have her.

Just kill her.

I shouldn't have set foot in her room.

I shouldn't have opened her trunk.

She's a lot stronger than me.

She knows exactly what she wants.

She'd do anything to get it.

Maybe she's the only way for me to get out of this shithole.

Ken'ichi...

It's snowing!

Yes, it is.

Aren't you glad?

That night, how long did I stay there holding her in my arms?

Did it really snow?

I don't really remember.

I vanished from Kabuki-cho for a while.

Later, Cui-hu invited me to join him.

He said...

I'd already become a cold emotionless thug.

That made me an ideal partner.

Two years later, Yang became don of the Chinese mafia in Tokyo.

For his 70th birthday...

Chinese gangs came to Shinjuku from all over Japan to celebrate.

There was a rumor that I'd come and kill Yang to avenge Natsumi.

But they were wrong.

I was there... to take Shinjuku from him.

Speaking of Natsumi...

who was she, after all?
