Close the window

Nice car. Expensive, huh?

Open the window!

Don't!

What's all this?

You want to know?

You smell nice.

We want some female companions.

You're my type.

Come with us.

It's a new car.

You wouldn't like to lose it.

Ito, bring them along.

No!

You know this is our territory.

You're safe.

Thank you.

I don't want to be strict, but

I don't want anybody to thank me from in a car

Mami

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Get in!

Shut up! Big guy

Stop it!

You make my mouth water.

What's your name?

Why tremble?

Stop it!

Beautiful hair.

Park the car.

Watch out!

It's you.

Jiro.

We don't need punks like you.

Let us go!

You're no kid.

What are you doing?

Let them go.

Help!

Leave us alone!

I'll teach you a lesson.

You stole this to sell?

He'd kill you.

You all right?

Run!

Hurry!

HEARTS IN THE MUD

Who?

Doctor!

Come on!

Pull yourself together!

It grazed your guts.

It could have been fatal.

I've helped many patients, but

You amazed me.

You didn't even moan during the operation.

It hurts.

I couldn't let out a moan.

You smoke filthy rag.

To me, it's the best.

After I did well.

You saved my life. Should I be grateful as long as I live?

Where's mine, doc?

Don't push your luck. You could've died.

People call the likes of you vermin. You're lice.

You want to be one?

Mind what you say.

You'll lose a few teeth broken.

Try if you can.

You walk the streets in a peculiar way.

You're just a bunch of fools.

You're drunk, you old bag!

Don't call me that!

Doctor, you should've let him die. Why didn't you?

You're right.

Before he could do any more harm. We'd benefit the city.

You're safe because you pinned me down.

Watch your words. Just shut up!

The anesthesia is working now.

I'd get them...

Shall we take him? He's a lot of troubles.

He reminds me of your son.

The same age.

When we were in Yokohama...

They were good friends. Before they went to school.

Then his parents died miserably. That's what changed him

Kabashima

Welcome.

He's Mr. Taguchi. This is her nurse.

Good evening, sir.

Chopin.

We're lucky.

She plays Chopin when she's in a good mood.

Hi, uncle.

Good evening.

President Taguchi's son.

My name is Hideto.

Sit down.

I told you...

I'd find a nice boy friend for you.

He likes sportsman.

He's been in America.

Speaks French, too.

She majors in English literature.

I studied it, too, at school.

You have something in common.

What's the matter?

Don't make me speak for you.

I'm embarrassed.

Why?

I didn't expect this.

She's shy.

No.

I thought you wouldn't like formalities. Be frank.

He agreed with me.

Mami. I've been thinking.

I'll find a young man as your husband

who has the ability to keep your estate

Mr Taguchi has been our business associate.

His firm is going to be one of our satellites.

Uncle.

Do you want me to marry for business expansion?

Partly.

But mainly it's for your happiness.

I want to go to Paris to study hats.

Hats?

So they're your passion?

She's studying with a designer in Aoyama.

You can do anything with your money.

You could have a shop in Paris.

I don't want to rely on money.

What's wrong with money? It can help you.

Grow up. Play the piano for him.

Please do.

Rape?

Yes. The wolves leaped on us.

No!

Yes!

When the two lovely maidens were in danger, he appeared.

A handsome hero?

He was another gangster.

Too bad.

Three gangs in a row.

What happened to him?

You left him alone?

How cruel!

All we could do was run.

What happened to him?

Who knows

'Who knows?' You don't care?

She's a noble princess.

Not interested in punks.

Why should she care?

Wait. Do me a favor.

Me, too.

Buy some tickets to my party.

I want a donor for my club.

All right.

I'm glad to have you as a friend.

You have the great expectations.

You're using up your nine lives lost.

I was shocked to hear you were stabbed.

Your father was found in the harbor, stabbed like you.

What do you want?

To tease me?

You'll get well soon. You die hard.

You could've brought a smoke.

Something better than that.

'Punks Stabbed!'

A lie!

The punks who were there said you killed him.

Damn them!

You must come to the police as soon as you're released.

I didn't.

You can tell us the truth down at the station.

I won't interrogate you in the hospital.

I don't carry a knife.

I never do.

Good. A mad man shouldn't

Hanai.

I thought you'd be here.

How's the wound?

It hurts.

Wasn't the punk who stabbed him one of your men?

Don't say that.

Words can hurt, cop.

Your Tsukada gang...

Are they dealing in drugs?

Don't imagine things.

Somebody's supplying them.

I'll get him. Remember that.

You sniff around Jiro and pick up punks.

And talk like popeye.

When you get well, we'll have a party for you.

Thanks. Wait for it.

Hoods are always hunted by the cops. They're never free.

Not even with their own group.

They never let you live like a man.

I'll get some sleep.

Break through with them. This is your chance.

A smart guy with your guts can do anything.

Not again!

If you keep living like this

your parents won't be able to rest in peace.

Never mention them!

Go away! Get out!

All right. But...

Don't try to run away.

We'll be watching you.

Hello.

Nanae?

In there.

Very good. Wonderful

You mean it?

You're excellent. You were born to be a designer.

Jun, I wish you had a fraction of her talent.

Sure. I envy you, Mami.

She has lots of talent and money.

Mami, I've been thinking.

A fashion show with hats of your designs and mine. Great idea!

My designs aren't good enough.

You're too modest.

Your hats will fascinate young girls.

Let's have a big show. Your uncle will help.

Of course. She's rich. No money problems.

'Lone Wolf Suspect Denies Murder'

You've blackmailed and injured all kinds of people.

They were scared and kept silent.

But we're the police.

You've got to talk.

The witnesses said you killed him.

Let me see them!

I told you I didn't kill him!

Chief, you've a guest.

Give up!

That girl?

Are you Miss Kabashima?

I have something to tell you about this man.

Jiro? Are you acquainted with him?

He saved me that day

He saved you?

Tell me exactly what happened.

The knife belonged to the dead man.

If he hadn't come, we'd have been raped.

I see.

He was stabbed. Is he all right now?

He was badly wounded. But he's all right now.

I see.

I need your story in writing. Are you a student?

Yes. Meiwa Girls' College.

That's a good school.

Your name is Kabashima?

Yes. My first name is Mami.

Your address, please.

2-14-18 Hiroo, Shibuya-ku.

My father is Kimimaro Kabashima.

He's not in Japan now.

Mr Kimimaro Kabashima? The ambassador to Spain?

His daughter?

Thank you for the other day.

How's your wound?

What day of the week?

I haven't thanked you since you helped me.

So you're after me.

Thanks.

Isn't that enough?

Okay, I'll treat you to lunch.

No, thank you.

You testified.

So they released me.

I owe you.

That's not why I follow you.

I don't like to be trailed.

I could've hit you.

Sorry.

Come with me.

Come on!

Hayama.

Midori!

Pop!

You're heavy. You've gained weight.

Your whiskers hurt me

Sorry.

You didn't come last Saturday. Why?

I was busy.

I've brought something for you.

For me?

For your friends, too.

Have you been a good girl?

No fighting?

Bed-wetting?

Everybody! Here's a surprise for you.

What did the girl say? About me?

She's a fool.

She said I finally found a gem.

You.

Who's her mother?

A slut bar hostess.

She fell for an American, who knocked her up.

I thought she was your child.

I have no children.

A girl smiled at me without reason.

She lost two of her front teeth.

What are you watching?

A gangster.

He rescued a stranger and got wounded.

A little blonde calls him pop.

He eats like a hungry kid.

He's Mr. Jiro Takakura.

I'm...

Who asked your name?

I don't like talkative women.

We leave here, we go our separate ways.

We won't meet again.

Your father's an ambassador.

The cop told me about you.

An ambassador's daughter and a punk.

They never eat together.

We shouldn't do what they don't.

You don't look like a gangster.

You look like a student.

I am a gangster.

People call the likes of me vermin.

You know that and stay a gangster. Why?

Tell me. Why?

What for? You want to make a report on gangsters?

I don't understand.

You could live decently.

Why try to be vermin?

Why, why!

No more stupid questions.

'Stupid?'

Why?

Why?' Forget it. Finish your meal.

Thank you.

Expensive?

Yes. Very.

But forget it.

That's a token of my thanks.

It was good.

Why not? Very expensive.

Goodbye.

Be careful next time.

Wait.

We'll have a party next Saturday. My uncle got a medal.

Medal? So what?

Come.

Me?

Why me?

Please come.

I'll introduce you to him.

Please come.

I live near the Red Cross Hospital.

You can find my house easily.

But...

I'll be waiting.

'Please. I'll be waiting.'

'Please. I'll be waiting.'

The boss in?

You could hello me.

Say hello.

Damn kid!

Hi! Released?

Tough luck.

Somebody made those punks lie to keep me in jail.

Forget it.

He knows I have evidence against him.

He doesn't want me around.

He's scum.

Enough, Jiro.

Those punks had this.

I don't know what gang they belong to, but...

They stole it form their boss's safe to get some money.

They fooled their boss. I want to see the stupid boss.

Hanai.

Things like this shouldn't be handled by punks.

It'd finish their gang. Right?

I didn't tell the police about it.

Your route, either.

It seems I owe you thanks.

Why don't you join us?

You want me?

Can you kill a man?

If your boss tells you to kill me, you must do it.

Could you?

What do you mean, Hanai?

Nothing serious. I said 'if'.

Could you do it?

When you grow up enough to do it, join us.

It's safer to fight punks.

or screw girls.

Hanai, thanks for coming to see me in the hospital.

I came to thank you.

You went to the hospital?

He knows the punks belong to our organization.

They won't talk.

You don't want him to join us, do you?

He's just a kid.

He can work somehow.

Make him join us.

He's a dynamite.

We can't let him talk big like that.

Be sure you settle it.

Released? Fine!

Thanks.

I was sure you hadn't done it.

I saw your daughter today.

Thanks. You're kind to her.

Get married again.

I'm fed up.

Find your daughter a father.

Live with her.

She's my child. I want to live with her.

I hope you'll be her father

Don't pick a gangster for her.

I'm joking.

Are you cooing in the street?

He disgusts me, Jiro.

He's trying to touch me.

Because you look like my first lover.

Come to my bar later.

I wanted to congratulate your recovery.

I'll drink alone.

Let's have a party.

Let's drink with the doctor.

What happened to the girl who saved you?

Girl? What girl?

She helped him.

Without her

he'd have to spend many years in prison.

Is that so? A girl saved him.

Did you treat her to tea?

Who knows?

You didn't thank her?

Punks are ungrateful these days.

I'll be waiting. Please come.

Jiro. Go to Hokkaido

My friend has a ranch there.

He could use a young hand.

Ah, Hokkaido!

I was invited to a doctorless village in Hokkaido. Thirty years ago.

If I'd gone.

My life would've changed.

Go there.

Stop living like a worm.

What good is being a punk?

It's my life, not yours.

You won't have it long.

Miss Mami

There was a call from your friend.

Is it?

I told her you were busy.

You hung up? Who was it?

One of your schoolmates.

They all want you to buy tickets.

Don't associate with those who come for money.

It's just tickets.

Don't waste your money on tickets.

Your father'll scold me.

Note this. Money can buy everything.

Social position, honor, respect.

Look at poor people.

They're as filthy inside as outside.

You're prejudiced.

Some people are poor but beautiful.

You'll inherit a fortune.

Don't have pity on the poor.

Mr Taguchi is coming to see you. He called me.

I have to study today. I can't see him.

Expensive.

How much can you afford?

I'm invited to a party.

I need a present.

Can this please a girl?

Of course. It's expensive. It's beautiful.

I'll pay cash. Give me 50% off.

You're new here.

Are you acquainted with Mr Kabashima?

You're welcome.

Miss Mami invited me.

Are you her friend or something?

Welcome!

Thank you.

Is he your friend?

He's the hero who saved me from those gangsters.

Come with me.

Who's that witch?

Wait.

Help yourself to drinks.

What is he?

We can't accept a vulgar man like him as our guest.

Especially not tonight.

Your mother asked me to take care of you.

Your uncle trusts me, too.

Send him away.

Understand?

I can't do that.

Bring Mami.

Why invite him?

He's Jiro.

You know him. He saved us.

I know. But...

Since when?

A secret.

I'll introduce you to my uncle. Uncle...

Play the piano for the guests.

I'd love that.

Never mind.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Make yourselves at home.

Let's go.

They want to be introduced.

This is Mr Takakura

I thought he was wild.

He's humorous.

You were stabbed in the belly.

I told my uncle about you. Let's go see him.

A gangster.

I told you about Mr Takakura.

He save me in Shinjuku.

So you're the one. Thanks.

He could've come to my office.

I'll pay you. Take my check.

500,000 Yen.

I didn't come for this!

Don't be modest.

Wait!

I'm sorry.

He was drunk. He didn't mean it.

Forgive him.

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have come.

It's true...

We live in different worlds.

Shut up! You know how late now?

Shut up

Jiro is gangster

The cop made you a good offer

Accept his kindness and go to Hokkaido

I like this town. I can't leave it.

It's a trash box.

Leave it, or you'll die like a roach.

The same to you.

Don't preach to me. I've been in jail too often.

I'm deep in the mud.

You know an ant lion?

a poisonous bug.

It makes a hole in the sand and waits at the bottom for its victim.

Once an ant falls in the hole, it has no chance.

The harder it struggle

the deeper it goes down

When it realizes it's trapped, the ant lion bites its head off.

I'll be the ant lion. Not the ant.

Face reality.

You know you're the ant.

The ant lion will get you. Be careful.

I've been looking for you. I want to apologize.

Why follow me?

Because we met.

I'll hit you.

Go ahead.

Go away!

You're angry.

I'm sorry.

I found you at last. I'm so very glad.

Wipe your tears. I'm embarrassed.

I'm sorry.

Don't follow me.

Forgive me.

Don't stand there. Sit down.

You'll stink.

I don't care.

That day...

When you were molested.

You saw something?

Yes. Some drug in a pack.

You saw nothing.

You didn't see a thing Okey?

They think you're a hick.

What do you mean?

'Hick?'

Welcome home.

Miss Mami!

What did you eat?

I stink?

Garlic.

What?

It was delicious.

You shouldn't eat it.

Mr Jiro Takakura.

We came here the other day.

Is he in?

No.

Thank you

You want to see him?

I think I know where he is.

Where? Tell me.

How tricky!

What do you mean? Did I cheat?

That bartender.

I went there every day.

Every day?

To see you again.

I'd forgotten about you.

I didn't, even a day.

You're funny. Stupid.

Don't chase men like me.

Am I funny?

Am I stupid?

Somebody called me stupid.

Then we're the same.

Let's dance.

Not for us.

what a drinker!

Are you drunk?

I'm drunk, too.

Give her a chaser.

What are you watching?

Your face.

Lend it to me.

Why?

Get off!

Scared?

Faster!

I can't hear you.

Faster!

Pretty for gone.

Jiro.

Another victim of drugs.

Four others died.

You know something about it.

They use innocent girls with drugs.

They make them slaves, swindled them, then.

Kick them out when they can't work.

They die in the street.

Like your father did.

Who's handling the stuff?

Innocent people fall victims.

We've got to prevent this.

It's Tsukada, isn't it?

It's your job to find out.

Is the money ready?

It's Jiro.

The informer!

Maybe the Morishima Gang wants our territory.

Nakamaru, the cop, came.

He's Jiro's friend.

Jiro told him.

Hanai, kill him.

Why the face? You refuse?

No. I'll do it.

Excuse me. These boys have been released.

I apologize.

You stole the stuff. You know what'll happen.

You'll be punished.

But you kept it a secret. I appreciate that.

I'll forgive you.

True?

You've had a hard time. Have some fun.

Wait. I'll give you your first job.

Find Jiro. Bring him here.

Dead or alive.

Understand?

Go!

What's wrong?

Yuki, tell Jiro.

What happened?

He's in danger.

The mahjong hall?

He stopped coming here.

Is he sick?

No. He never gets sick.

Where does he live?

I don't know. He beds down anywhere.

Remember what you did to us?

Thanks to you, we got busted and worked over by the cops.

You saw we had drugs?

Understand? Don't come here.

Stay home and study.

I had my fun.

A student from a grils' college was new to me.

But you bore me now.

Wait. Stay with me.

No.

It's my 19th birthday. Stay with me.

Only tonight.

I won't see you again.

Fools! You came back to say you failed?

Where did he go?

We lost him.

Somewhere in Shinjuku. Get him.

Wait.

Kill him.

How beautiful!

Everything's so clean.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to hear your excuses.

Where's Mami?

She isn't with the hat designer.

I called her.

Then why is she late?

A lover?

Chika, I let you take care of her because you said you could.

You must be strict with her.

What if she gets depraved?

Bring the hat designer here.

Well?

He's gone. Damn him! Where is he?

You want me to go to Paris?

And take Mami with you.

You want me to watch her?

I'll help you.

You can have a shop there.

All I want is to get her away from Japan.

Contact her father in Madrid.

I'll have her marry her fiance in Paris. Get ready for that.

Don't worry. I'll see to it.

You can't even imagine this.

When I was a little kid, I lived in a shack.

Worse than a pigsty.

The rain and the sun could torture us.

It was hell.

My father was working on the waterfront. A stevedore.

He couldn't always get a job.

When he had no job, he got drunk.

My mother worked as a whore to buy him sake.

You know 'whore?'

She got laid for money.

Then he turned to dope.

It ruined his health.

He ended up in a fight.

Stabbed.

Floating in the harbor.

I was ten.

My mother got a VD.

She went crazy and got hit by a train.

The memories make me sick.

I tried to live better. I looked for an easier living.

So I joined a gang.

A gangster's life doesn't suit you.

None of your concern.

It is.

Why?

Because....

I love you.

You've fascinated because you've never known a gangster.

That's all

No.

Forget it.

I believe you love me, too.

You told me about yourself.

You're conceited.

Look! You came here to see the sunrise.

It's in your eyes.

Don't move them.

I love you very much.

You want to marry me?

What'd we talk about?

How I blackmailed people?

How I cheated at mahjong and got almost killed?

Or how I fought a foreign sailor and broke his rib?

We can't.

We're different.

We live in different worlds. We can't live together.

Forget me.

You're nineteen today.

Forget what happened yesterday.

Forget me.

Mami. We've been awake all night.

I'm sorry.

Where were you?

My birthday party.

With your man?

You've become depraved.

We didn't do anything wrong.

Go to Paris.

Your father in Madrid agreed.

I won't go.

You'll go with the designer.

Why?

They're waiting for you.

To kill you. What?

The police raided Tsukada.

He thinks you informed them.

Hanai?

Hanai wanted to warn you. He asked me to tell you to run away.

They're watching.

You're in danger. Hide in my shop.

I'll get a car for you. Get away in it.

How long will I have to wait?

Hanai.

Did you let him get away?

Don't go now.

Wait till it's dark.

They're everywhere.

Don't make a move now.

What's wrong? What are you guys up to?

'Go to Paris.'

'Go to Paris.'

'Go with the designer.'

Miss Mami, Mr Taguchi is coming.

Please don't go out.

Let me do what I like for the last me.

You're going to Paris.

You have to pack today.

I'll keep you informed. Don't worry.

I must see Jiro. Take me to him.

Jiro? Who's he?

Tell me where he is.

I don't know.

I'll leave for Paris tomorrow.

I must see him for the last time.

Please.

It's me.

Yeah?

Mami!

I'll get a car for you.

Why here?

They'll send me to Paris tomorrow.

That's fine.

But I won't go.

Why?

I want to stay with you.

Fool!

I'm a fool, so I want you.

You'll be in danger.

I'm be hunting.

Leave! Come to my villa.

Let's go to Karauizawa.

We'll go there and think of what to do.

Go away!

Does it hurt?

You won't be happy with me.

Please go away.

Let's run.

I have nowhere to go.

I'll be with you.

Don't follow me to hell.

I won't mind. Where you go I follow.

All right. Let's do it.

I can't let them kill me.

The car is in the alley.

Thanks.

Jiro...

I'm taking this girl.

I see.

Take care.

Thanks.

You asked...

... for this.

Fool...

Mami

She was killed here.

She died with a gangster.

His body is still in the morgue. He had no relatives.

I'll take him.

You, doctor?

He was a good friend of my son when they were children.

I liked him.
