Original subtitles

- Come on, drive on! - Wait a sec!

- We got to be quick. - Don't waste any bullets.

Not me, for sure.

It goes for all of you!

- Load'em! - I never miss.

- Bullshit. - Shut up and load!

What?

Nothing.

Wanna shoot too?

No, I don't...

The fuck you do, Chinta. You wanna be a real man, right?

Okay, take this.

Huh? For real?

Of course it is. Use this to wank it.

Nothing for you yet, little boy.

All right! Bro is about to get out!

Let's go shit on those Odani zombies!

Move, prick!

1991 Kurihara City - Hiroshima

- Keep it running. - Yes!

Move the fuck away!

Where's Tachibana from Odani? Show yourself, fucker!

Hey, are you Tachibana?

Hey! You there!

There you were!

Y-You... You are...

Thank you for coming here all the way from Hiroshima.

No way! It's full with cops!

That's right, boys. Put them down.

You're all under arrest. How about it?

Run!

Move!

Fuck you!

Where are you going with that dangerous toy?

Up your asses, cops!

You all are Odani's whores! I'll put you all down!

Okay, you're under arrest!

Take him away! Take this jerk away!

Hioka, we got the others.

Huh?

Hioka...

He stabbed you.

Stupid piece of shit!

Hioka!

22:23! Suspect arrested!

Call an ambulance!

Even a stupid punk like you should know this very well.

In what universe you get away after stabbing a cop?

I'm sorry! I'm very sorry!

Your apologies are worth a flabby cock in an orgy!

Hioka? Are you okay?

Do you mind leaving us alone?

Don't freak out.

Moron, why did you use a knife? I told you to use a gun!

My bad.

- My brother wouldn't give me a gun. - I was wearing a bulletproof jacket.

I figured it'd stop a knife, too.

Hey, Chinta, could it be you were trying to kill me for real?

Fuck no! I look up to you and respect you like a bro...

- Asshole! Be quiet or they'll hear us! - Sorry, my bad.

And you also got yourself taken so easy...

What am I going to say to your sister now? You moron!

I'm really sorry, okay?

You fuckin'...

That was close.

I've always wanted to smoke in here! It feels great!

Do you like it?

Yeah. It's heaven.

Odani-gumi

Game.

Game. Place your bets.

Iga-mochi cupcakes?

Yes, from our festival. Try a couple.

I surely will.

You never miss anything, do you? Those morons took the bait.

I couldn't let them shit on your turff.

Such a well done cleaning job doesn't come cheap, does it?

Hey, kid.

Make a couple of bets.

As if I could.

Amaki, you were in Abashiri Prison? How's Ichinose doing?

Yeah, he has been all right. Right, Tachibana?

He sends you his best regards.

Really? I'm relieved to hear that.

Boss Ichinose is worried about the future of the Irako-kai.

The Irako-kai? Old Irako's gone.

Uebayashi, his right arm, is to be released soon.

So what? A madman like him can't do anything.

Hey, Hanada.

Right arm or left foot, that means nothing.

Irako's gang has disbanded. We've just nicked four more.

They're goners.

Mr. Kanbara, I owe you a huge favor.

No need for lip service.

No, I mean it. I ain't gettin' back inside.

I'll do my best to keep on the straight path out there.

Wait and see. We got a special client for you.

Practice with that ice cream. Suck it dry.

Bro!

Welcome back!

Please.

Bro, we tried attacking the Odanis, but the cops got there first.

I'm sorry.

- Where's our new Boss? - I let him know, but...

What a slimy son of a bitch...

We got some girls.

Kanbara Piano School

That's it, that's it.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Take care.

Who are you?

Teach us to play the piano, too.

Stop!

Such beautiful fingers.

I owe your brother a lot for what he did to me in prison.

Day after day, he always, used to beat me to a pulp.

You see, not even my parents did that to me.

Don't look at me like that.

I beg you...

Don't do it...

Why are you looking at me like this?!

Stop!

Don't hate me. Hate your brother, all right?

From the Showa Era to the Heisei Era, while the economic bubble was bursting,

the Odani-gumi gang, based in Kurihara,

and the powerful Jinsei-kai from Hiroshima had been fighting for years,

until Shohei Irako was killed. That ended the bloodbath.

Irako's death brought a truce between Odani-gumi and the Hiroshima Jinsei-kai,

brokered from behind the scenes by the Kurihara detective, Shuichi Hioka.

Still, the ashes of the conflict were ready to burst again into flames,

fueled by the Irako-kai diehards, that Hioka had almost rooted out.

LAST OF THE WOLVES

Koichi, are they laying eggs?

They're full of poo.

I'm sorry. I should've asked you first.

Your brother Chinta will have to do a little time.

Did you put him to spying again?

It's for the motherland's well-being.

Listen, I don't want you turning into a gangster.

I trusted you because you were Ogami's partner.

When will you let him take the straight road?!

That was the last time. Trust me.

When he gets out, I'll find him a job.

That's not the issue here.

Mao, it's laying eggs!

Koichi, go to school.

Mr. Hioka!

Mr. Hioka!

Mr. Kota Chikada

The Korean Resident's Association, Hiroshima branch

Does Mao know?

Well done!

Go and buy yourselves something.

- Thanks! - Thanks!

- I'm going! - Be careful!

Koichi, your socks!

Why are you behaving like this?

- Cut it out. - Let's have a bath.

Don't be stupid.

Come on...

Do you hate me?

All right, go and wait for me.

You're beautiful when you're sulking.

Hiroshima Prefecture Police Headquarters

Headquarters of the piano teacher murder inquest

Seshima? What's this about?

I never thought I'd get to work on a big case before retiring.

Grab this. Keep it hanging.

- Take it. Would you take one? - Oh, sure.

Big smile!

Say 'cheese'!

Who's that?

The one coming.

Reinforcement from Kurihara.

How can a cop get so dirty? It makes me puke.

- At your places! - Good morning!

All right, let's start.

Injuries at the head, abdomen, and belly made with a blunt object.

Injured eyeballs, too. Waiting post-mortem for cause of death.

What about the eyeballs?

Looks like they were taken out.

As you can see, there are too many injuries to identify a suspect. But...

Great seeing you, Hioka.

But her family has provided a useful lead.

The perpetrators could be from the Irako-kai.

Irako-kai?

Do you know anything?

No, nothing.

Well, if there's anyone who could know something, that'd be you.

Why don't we give Hioka the cases on Irako-kai?

Hey, my friend, wait for me!

Why?

Come on. We're working together now, you and I.

Sorry, I'm an old timer.

It'll be a pleasure.

Your reputation precedes you.

Since you've replaced Ogami, there've been no more feuds among the Yakuza.

Our top brass owes you a lot...

I haven't come to Hiroshima to flap my gums.

Empty space will eventually get filled.

It's that simple.

Wait, is this yours?!

Are you coming or not?

You Kurihara detectives don't joke around!

Gosh, it's a Benz!

Hey, Shige.

Darling! Look! It's Shige!

Shige's finally back home!

Darling! Isn't that wonderful?

It's been three years since Irako's death.

- Time does fly by. - It really does.

Would you like a drink?

Sit down, sit down.

I'm glad to see you looking so well. Take a break.

Your new boss, Kakutani, made old Irako proud.

Well, I'd like to agree with that. The debts are going extinct.

"Extinct"?

What does that mean?

That Odani is going extinct.

Forgive him. Prison has clouded his mind.

Listen, Uebayashi. The Showa Era is gone.

We no longer use guns. Business is now our battlefield.

If you got time on your hands for war, go learn to read or something.

But Boss...

Open your fucking ears!

We signed a truce with Odani, got it?!

The here present Mizoguchi and Kakutani

did more than their duty to bring about peace with Odani.

I take responsibility for his indelicacy.

Well, I'll introduce you to the biggest businessman in Hiroshima.

You'll work for him.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Damn brat.

I appologize.

Painful, right?

They've all gone soft.

They only care about making money now.

For how much has that building gone?

800 million, that's what I heard.

Song-ho.

I've been waiting for you for three whole years.

I can't wait another three

to set my husband's soul to rest.

I don't have any proof, however...

this is something Uebayashi could have done.

Even if that was the case, the prison says he was a model prisoner.

Well, he spent all his time there in total isolation.

In isolation?

Fuck you!

- Stop moving! - Stay put, damn it!

- Leave me alone, fuck you! - Stay put, damn it!

Leave me alone, fucker!

He was aggressive all the time, so we had to subdue him.

Hey!

Hey, Uebayashi.

You're making us look bad. Follow the rules, got it?

Mr. Kanbara... I heard you had family in Hiroshima.

I'll never forget your face.

You and your family will pay for this with blood.

Just try it, you piece of shit!

Bring it on, asshole!

Kill me right now, or you'll never live in peace!

Shut up!

What creates such a man?

We wanted him out as soon as possible.

So we lied and said he was a model prisoner...

The Boss has told me all about you.

"Uebayashi has just come out. Find him something to do."

I thought the one taking care of Jinsei-kai would be a big shot,

but you're Kakomura's old delivery man.

Weren't you thrown out 'cause of spying for the cops?

I made amends for my mistakes, and came back in business.

Now I've got enough power to deal even with public contracts.

You fool! I had told you, no panties at work!

Yes, I'm sorry, sir.

I'm now thinking about building a palace on the Irako-kai headquarters.

Will you help me chase away those morons from their house?

You wanna desecrate our boss's birthplace?

Our new boss gave me the go-ahead.

Mr. Hioka. This way, please.

Mr. Mizoguchi, Mr. Kakutani. What a nice surprise.

I'm so busy, I seldom get to come to Nagarekawa.

So, what about you, Mr. Hioka? Is the Hiroshima headquarters treating you well?

I'm feeling like a transfer student.

They're waiting for you to make a mistake.

But I'll show them I get results.

Leave it to us.

We will do anything

so you can fuck that Uebayashi shit.

Right, bro?

Categorically. Making that truce wasn't easy.

We can't allow that motherfucker to blow it all.

I'll do my best.

By the way, Hioka.

The first time they took him in was in high school.

Do you know why?

For murder, wasn't it? A fight with a punk, no?

No. With his own parents. He butchered them with a knife.

He even tore their eyes out.

That's awful...

Welcome, sir.

Boss Watafune, excuse me for being late.

Anything wrong?

Don't even start!

The here present Yoshida, the here present CEO Yoshida,

says he'll give Pearl Enterprise to Uebayashi.

CEO, what kind of a joke is this?

This is no joke.

I've always looked up to Uebayashi as to an older brother.

I've always meant giving it to him...

All right...

So now you know it.

See you around.

- Wait up, you! - What is the problem?

Don't you try fucking with us.

Pearl Enterprise does business at governmental level.

Dead right! What do you know about business?!

You say 'business' more often than a horny monkey jerks off.

Guys like you are just pebbles scattered on the ground.

You behave like you are the best, but you'll soon see.

Uebayashi!

Our boss...

took pity because you haven't got a dime.

So he introduced you to Yoshida.

And you piss on his kindness?!

Do you think I can let you live?!

Why don't you kill me, then?

What did you say?

Kill me, you filthy pussy!

Who has always been behind the Hiroshima Jinsei-kai?!

It was old Irako, right?

And when he died, you took over and started playing businessman?

- You con son of a bitch! - Watch your mouth!

You have the nerve to go to bed with that Odani scumbag!

Honor means shit to you!

"Honor?" Has prison made you forget how to speak Japanese?!

If you must honor someone,

that'd better be the Boss!

This old geezer is no boss of mine.

Old geezer?!

My boss is Shohei Irako.

Him and nobody else.

You fucking brat!

Give me my gun!

Wow, look at you. No more playing tough guy now?

Come, Yoshida.

- Who the fuck are you? - Police.

What the fuck do you want?

What...

What's with the ruckus?

I'm Hioka from Kurihara East. Are you Uebayashi?

Kurehara East? What the fuck does a Odani whore want?

I'm on the piano teacher's murder incident.

You were seen nearby.

- Do you got a warrant? - No.

Then, get one, moron.

Wait...

Has the Yakuza gone into selling cold medicine?

What else might we find if we search around?

Go fuck yourself!

It seems one of the victim's relatives knows you very well.

A Tokushima prison guard, Kanbara.

Mr. Kanbara, huh? I'll never be able to pay him back all I owe him.

I went to see his sister as soon as I got out.

On September 15th? Are you sure?

She even offered tea to the likes of me.

There was a nice girl there, too.

Where were you yesterday evening?

Yesterday evening?

Why are you asking? Is it about the piano teacher?

Come on, tell me, pal. Someone I know has gone missing.

We had a party going on here yesterday evening.

An orgy with some Nagarekawa chicks.

Wanna be invited next time?

No, thanks. I'm a state officer.

All right. Sorry for the trouble.

Man, when you have guests, forget about drugs.

Fuck you.

There's something I heard in prison.

My boss was murdered in Kurihara because of a Kurihara East cop.

Is that so? Never heard that.

I bet.

Go tell it to those Kurihara East swine friends of yours.

When I'll find out who it was, I'll take him to Hell.

You wanna go back to prison?

Abashiri will be next. Ichinose, my boss's murderer, is there.

That'd be a great opportunity to take him out.

Uebayashi had killed Mizoguchi,

the No. 2 in the Hiroshima Jinsei-kai,

but his death was put down as suicide.

The cover-up was ordered by Boss Watafune himself.

Mizoguchi's connections in the police had boosted up his influence,

and Watafune wanted him gone.

Oh, Mr. Hioka.

I have a favor to ask.

Welcome!

Irako Co., Ltd.

Hey, Shige! I'm glad you're here.

We've also got meat for humans. Here, have a seat.

They seem to love it.

It's first class crocodile, from Manila.

Their last supper, right?

Fuck, move!

Silence, or you'll get hurt.

What the fuck are you doing?

Why?! Not this one!

Don't kill it!

- My precious! - Shut up.

You shut up! What does this mean?!

Welcome!

Chinta? Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

I'm hungry, sis.

An orange juice.

And fried noodles.

You fool!

Where were you?

- In prison. - In prison?!

For this month.

Isn't it too much?

You said they raised your rent.

You're playing Mr. Nice. Are you going to use Chinta again?

You're an open book for me.

Just once more. This time, it really will be the last time.

Am I supposed to trust you?

This is everything.

Uebayashi's fingerprints were found at the crime scene.

Really? Isn't that enough?

Not enough for charging him with murder.

The forensic report?

It'll soon be ready, but it doesn't look like an Yakuza murder.

The way she was killed would suggest a murderous frenzy.

No, it was Uebayashi no doubt.

Scientific Laboratory

Has he ever used the same modus operandi?

Exactly. Can you check on his youth antecedents?

Of course, right away.

By the way, are you free this evening?

This evening?

Stop pretending nothing happened. You are forgetting something important.

We're partners, yet we've never eaten together.

Is that important?

Of course it is!

Partners must be so close, they show each other their bare butts.

I'm writing reports for you all the time...

All right! Let's do it this evening.

Really? Okay!

Do you mind if I join you?

And you are...?

I'm responsible for the local news in Aki News. My name's Kosaka.

Contact our spokesman, then.

I'm working on something that happened three years ago...

Three years ago?!

Yes. You convinced Ichinose from Odani-gumi

to take out the boss of the Irako-kai, right?

That's ridiculous. I don't have that kind of power.

Really?

But I heard you got the power to have a young hoodlum released.

Now I get it.

I was feeling someone nosing around. Was that you?

Nosing around, that's what newspapermen do.

Uebayashi-gumi

I do like it!

Boss, why don't we add Pearl Enterprise close to the logo?

No, our governmental contracts...

I'm joking, motherfucker!

Wow, what a coincidence!

Chinta! They let you out? Good for you.

Boss, he was with us when we attacked the Odani.

My name is Kota Chikada. It's an honor, sir.

- They call you "Chinta"? - Yes.

Well done, kid.

Thank you, sir!

- I'm glad you're back. - Well done.

- Look at that. - What?

It's our boss's now.

I only reclaimed my home.

Bro.

Are you ready to work with us?

I know you got an arms transport from Manila.

Where are you hiding them?

Shige.

I told you. Get me out, and I'll work with you.

Seems like you still don't get me.

I don't want to negotiate with you.

Not with a scum that pushes aside his boss's wife to take her place.

You got a higher rank, but I can't let you live.

Tell me about the arms. You'll die anyway.

You'll kill him?

Boss!

Blah, blah, blah! Shut your filthy mouth, stupid bitch!

I gave you fun last night. Wanna go for another round?!

Don't you have any pity?!

Let us live, that's all!

A Yakuza who begs for his life only deserves death.

Do it.

Stop! Stop!

Enough! Stop it!

Let my wife live!

Then, start behaving like a man.

Stand up.

You'd better hurry up, bro, or your beautiful wife will die.

Hurry up, bro.

Bro!

Where are the guns?

Uebayashi's parents

were murdered in June, 1972,

in their Naka apartment.

The father was a drunkard,

a real good-for-nothing.

He never sent his son to school,

and we think he made him go hungry.

He even made him steal

to pay for his drinks.

"I knew I had to kill him

before he killed me."

Then, there was the mother.

You were right about her.

"My mother was looking away when my father beat me,

so I killed her too."

Burn them.

Are you deaf?

I got it.

Wow, she's still alive...

The will to live is something extraordinary.

Fuck, she's burning, but she's still moving.

Hey, bury them afterwards.

Unbelievable, right?

She was writhing all over.

Seshima

Well, now, let's toast to us meeting, partner!

I'm sorry. That's all I had time to cook.

It's my fault, showing up at the last minute.

Welcome, then, partner,

to the cheapest and most tasty place in Hiroshima.

Please relax and feel at home.

Oh, our son.

I heard he was seriously ill.

Where did you hear that?

I'm sorry.

As a matter of fact,

I asked someone to check you up.

Check me up?

I'm sorry.

There's bad blood between superintendent Saga and me.

I thought that was the reason he took me to Hiroshima for.

You mean, you thought I was his spy?

I'm sorry.

Did you hear that, Yuriko?

I'm not as washed up as I thought I was.

Thanks for having thought so much of a humble cop at the end of his career!

Come on, finish your food!

You too, Yuriko.

Thank you!

So, Seshima, you spent years in the Police Special Force?

Unlike you, I operated in the shadows.

Me and my wife, we owe our resilience to the Communist Party.

There are things you shouldn't joke about!

He never misses crime shows on TV.

I'm sure he's really happy to work on a murder case, at last.

Of course! Murder investigations are the reason we cops live for!

So lucky! Your wish came true before retiring.

Here's some octopus on rice.

You know, nailing Uebayashi won't be easy.

Come on! It will be easy!

Compared to political murderers, the Yakuza are extremely easy.

- They are? - Of course!

The Yakuza say they are bad guys and, thus, they do bad things.

It's way simpler.

Those that do bad things but think they are doing good are tougher.

They are sure they are right.

They are harder to get rid of.

Please, don't mind him. He always does this when he's drunk.

- The octopus on rice is great! - Have some more!

Thank you.

Mr. Kosaka? From Aki News?

What if I am?

Hey! Stop! What the fuck are you doing?!

Here we are!

Thank you for waiting

Ice coffee and a lemonade.

Enjoy.

He killed them?

Damn right. The new boss and his wife.

He has lost it.

He doesn't hold back even with a woman.

He tore her eyes out.

Can you step in?

- I don't think I can do it anymore... - Grit your teeth a little longer.

If I move now, he'll suspect you. You get it?

I'm on the murder of the piano teacher.

Don't you have any new leads?

No...

He will go to war with Odani.

He already stole the new boss's arms.

It's just a question of time.

Hioka?

All right.

Let me know when to make the round up.

I have to go now.

That's right. Hioka, check this.

Thanks a lot.

Shit, there ain't nothing you can't do.

You provided all the papers. It was child's play.

Have you already talked to Mao?

Moron, you had promised!

Don't worry. I know she'll understand.

I'll live with my mother in Korea.

Yeah, but Mao will be left alone to take care of your sister and brother.

I've already decided.

I can't live this way. Not in this country.

They think I'm just an idiot.

Mao will manage. And, then, she has you.

Do you like it standing here like this?

I bet all you do is judo, don't you?

Dealing with things Yakuza style, are you?!

Oh, damn. What happened to your face?

Cut the crap.

You told the Odani to scare me off because I'm digging into you!

Using thugs to stifle freedom of speech?!

Okay!

I'll tell the Odani boys to lay off you. Give me a break now.

So calm down, Mr. Newspaperman, all right?

Wait.

You know, Mr. Hioka, I think you're deeper in shit than Ogami.

How come?

Ogami knew

that getting dirty was part of the job, right?

- What are you trying to...? - But I doubt you know that.

You secretly hang out with the Yakuza and do what you like best,

but you behave like you are a champion of justice,

as if only God can judge you.

No matter how you turn it around, it'll end up very badly.

Badly how?

In these three years, there were no feuds, nor dead.

How about Ogami's time?

There were clashes everywhere and civilian deaths. Is that what your newspaper wants?

I've never said that...

"Freedom of speech"?

If people died because of it,

would your newspaper take the blame?!

I'm breaking my ass to keep the peace.

Outsiders can only shut up and watch!

Go fuck yourself!

Come on, tell me, do you know who set up my old man?

Sure. But...

I risked my life to find it out. I can't just let it out like this.

We're risking our lives, too.

Killing a cop is no piece of cake.

The order maintained by Hioka after Ogami's death

was undone by the Uebayashi-gumi.

Move the fuck away!

What the fuck are you lookin' at?

Nice ass, babe!

Stop it! Stop it, sir.

Fucking whore. What's the matter with you?

- I apologize. - I'm leaving.

Is everything all right?

Leaving already?

I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you very much.

What the fuck?

All right.

Here's the main attraction, finally.

We were waiting.

I've never saw you here before. Are you working nearby?

We will be opening a shop soon in Kurihara.

We're just looking around today.

By the way...

you don't look like Chinta at all.

You are from the Uebayashi-gumi?

I found out you were running a bar, so I came.

The idea of fucking a friend's sister turns me on.

Stop it, we don't do that in here. Please leave.

Don't you worry, Chinta won't find out.

You're on Odani turf.

So what?!

Don't say I didn't warn you.

What's wrong, Mao?

Your patrons have changed.

Hey, old man!

Who the fuck are you talkin' to?

Cut it out, Hanada.

These are only stray puppies yelping.

Leave them to the dog catchers, okay?

Don't tell me...

If it's not Mr. Saeki!

Don't overdo it.

I'd have saluted you, had I known.

Provincial bars make no money.

We're leaving.

Hey, you!

I'll be back for your head. Got it?!

Better wash it.

You won't escape. There's no escape.

May I?

Chinta's here.

If I may...

Sit down.

I found out your sister has a bar in Kurihara.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

Well, you see...

The cops in Kurihara East cover up that Odani scum.

Ask your sister about it.

All right. I'll ask her to help us.

Well done.

And there's this detective, Hioka.

Find his family for me, will you?

They will make good hostages.

His badge won't be worth shit

when he sees his mother being tortured.

I got it. I'll do my best.

I'll get right to it.

Chinta. Chinta.

Rock, paper, scissors!

- Don't be a sissy. - But I...

I'm now taking you to the other side.

Boss...

One, two... here we go!

How does it feel? Like nothing else, right?

When you shoot meth, is like having another sun inside of you.

You feel great, right?

Hey, Mao.

Good morning.

No more Uebayashi-gumi?

No. Please, visit us again.

Call us if there's anything.

Tachibana!

Don't fuck with us!

I told you I'd kill you!

Fuck away! Move!

Come back!

What the fuck?!

Chief!

Chief!

Don't move, chief!

It fucking hurts...

Damn doctor! I'll kill you!

- Stupid! - Sorry, sorry.

- Don't move, please. - Do a good job!

Amaki, I'm not saying to turn the other cheek.

Just don't do anything till I talk to the Boss!

Amaki!

Hanada, where are you going?

They've put a bomb under us!

I can't just not do anything!

- Get the fuck out! - Fuck yourself, boy!

Hanada.

Ichinose asked me to keep an eye on you.

Mess with me and you'll be messing with him. Understood?

You know...

You got some nerve to say that kind of bullshit.

Ichinose forgave you

only because the truce was more important.

But that doesn't change the fact that it was you who got him inside!

None of us here

has ever forgiven you.

Out you go.

No fucking cop can tell us what to do.

What the fuck are you doin'?!

If you take one more step,

I'll blow up this moron.

If one of you talks, I'll throw you all in prison.

Got it?!

Boss, there will be an open war.

And what can I do about it?

That yokel won't listen to me. I did my best already.

The Hiroshima police will step in.

They will raid his headquarters.

- That'd be very bad. - Then, you have to stop Uebayashi!

But that'd be very bad for you too, wouldn't it?

What?

I read the papers, too.

For the last three years, the Hiroshima Yakuza

is being bossed around by you.

But if anything goes wrong,

it's always one of us, Yakuza, who pays the price.

And that isn't right!

But we can't just stand and do nothing!

Now that I think about it...

There no longer are any wolves in this country anymore.

The wolves became

too ferocious and out of control,

so humans exterminated them to the last one.

Becoming the strongest

is not always good.

Hey, Mrs. Irako! It took you quite long!

You told me you had big news,

so I dressed up.

Why meet in such a sad place?

Have I interrupted anything?

No.

Actually, we had just finished our conversation.

I'll be off.

He's an orphan?

Yes sir.

Both the detective's parents are dead.

Have you come to invent excuses for yourself?

Oh, no, sir.

Hey, come here.

Chinta.

Do you think I buy that?

What the fuck of a life had you, boy?

Song-ho! That's enough!

I was born around here.

I was broke every day and starving.

I survived

with the scraps from this joint.

Right, ma'am?

Chinta.

Why are you a Yakuza?

Because you lived on scraps, but you're still in shit?!

All right.

Ma'am, I'll be back.

Eat before you go.

What are you staring at?

Song-ho...

Song-ho!

Song-ho.

You're really gulping down.

Has anything bad happened?

We surely are talkative, aren't we?

Hi.

A beer and two glasses, mister.

Why are you here?

Don't you care if you're seen here?

Look at you, you have meth eyes.

Die, you son of a bitch!

Hey! What happened?

Come back!

Where did he go?!

- What the fuck's the matter with you?! - Let me go!

Uebayashi gave you meth, and now you're a killer?

Chinta.

Thanks to you,

we can now fuck Uebayashi. Got it?

Bullshit!

If I spy for you, I'll be dead.

I have no choice but to do what I'm doing right now.

Run away!

Go away!

Hioka...

This way, you'll not lose face.

Run away!

What's the matter?!

Was it Uebayashi's men? They did it?

Do me a favor...

- I'm calling for an ambulance! - Wait!

Why, you wanna die?!

Listen.

There's a detective called Seshima at Hiroshima headquarters.

Let him know.

Please...

Hioka...

Hioka! Hioka!

So you've got a mole inside Uebayashi-gumi?

Yes. And I want it to be known that I was badly wounded.

Or your spy will be in trouble, right?

Got it. I'll tell the press

that you have one foot in the grave.

I'll even dupe the superintendent. Don't worry about a thing.

Secret police style, huh?

Stupid. Now's not the moment to joke.

Well, and Uebayashi?

Now that I'm wounded, he'll attack Odani right away.

Then, we'll strike.

Yesterday evening, a policeman was shot in Kurihara.

The suspect, still at large, is wanted for attempted murder.

It happened around midnight.

A passer-by found a man bleeding in a Minami Chuo alley.

The police came to the scene,

and identified the victim

as a Kurihara East detective.

He's still in critical condition...

Hey, Chinta, you're on the news!

What happened, Boss?

Why didn't you finish him off?

Well...

he had stopped moving, so I thought he was dead.

Did you set it up with him?

No, I'd never do that...

How come you fired five shots, but no one saw you?

When one of theirs goes down, the cops take it on anyone.

He really wasn't moving?

That's the truth, Boss. I did it for you, I really did...

Hey, got a blade?

Boss...

If you mean it, show me.

If you really are loyal to me, one or two fingers will be nothing.

Yes, Chinta!

Filthy bastard, don't eat it! Juno! No!

Hosokawa! Find a rag or something.

Well done, Chinta!

Chinta, I saved your finger.

You're great, Chinta!

Excuse me.

This came, Boss.

Hey. Give this to Chinta. Tell him it's a painkiller.

Sure. Thanks, Boss.

It's very quick!

Let me try it.

Chinta!

Welcome home. I'm hungry, sis.

Kota bought us a RC car!

Come here.

What?

What is it?

Did you quit the gang, or not?

What the hell is this?!

It's nothing.

I'm starving. Give me something to eat, sis.

Did you find out about Hioka?

Don't do what he tells you anymore and go straight. Chinta!

Let me try it.

Heck, that's not easy at all. How do you turn right?

Did you hear me?

Go and play there.

Can't call it quits yet.

The cops are just using you. How come you don't get it?

No! I know what I'm doing. And I'm not giving up.

Moron!

And I think that... Hioka's doing the right thing.

We can't let those wicked bastards have their way.

I can't let you do this.

Give it up, or don't come back home no more.

Don't you worry. It'll soon be over.

Chinta...

Hioka speaking.

Tonight at midnight we'll fall on Kurihara.

We got everything.

Let's go.

Boss, we're ready.

They will attack?! Is the tip reliable?

It stays between us, but it comes from a mole.

Huh? Seshima, you got a mole?

Never let your hand show.

Hioka's wounded, so it's up to us to flush them out.

Chinta, come here.

Give me your bike keys.

Got a thing hanging. You go ahead.

Odani General Trading Co.

Damn, it's pouring!

Gravely wounded, are you? What are you doing in the rain, then?

What is it?

He really shot you?

Should start any moment now.

I was thinking to attack tonight,

but you cops got wind of it, so I changed plans.

So you're the one who got my boss.

Bullshit!

Why would I have done it?

Because you let Ogami's death go to your head.

Even cops are human.

Someone you care for gets brutally murdered,

so you lose your god and become a demon.

Ain't it so?

Then, you planted a mole to spy on us.

Chinta, pull over here.

Yes? But...

- Do it. Pull over. - Yes.

A spy?

That's news to me.

It's your favourite puppy!

Spill it out, now that we know! You cops make me sick!

Piece of shit.

Speak, tell me who the spy is.

I'll hit a hole into you.

There ain't!

I ain't got any spy!

Useless piece of shit!

It's Hioka's Mercedes! Oh no!

Something's wrong!

Hey! What's happening?! Police!

Now I know exactly what kind of a man you are.

Chinta...

Chinta...

What happened?! Who did this?!

Chinta! Chinta!

Where are you going?

Oh, I forgot to buy tobacco for the Boss.

I got plenty.

No need buying any.

What do you plan to do with that, kid?

- This, you son of a bitch! - What the fuck?!

Move away!

Dickhead! Come back here!

Fuck you!

Fuck everything!

Poor little bastard.

Look how you're wagging.

If no one gives you any scraps, you can't survive.

Shut the fuck up!

You're so pathetic.

You don't know me!

You know shit...

The body has been identified as

Song Jang-hoon, a twenty year old Korean.

Kurehara police has opened a murder investigation...

Make way. Make way.

Chinta!

I'm sorry.

We got too late.

Hioka, don't...

Don't go in! Hioka!

Go away.

You're not going in.

I told you to go away, you damn bastard!

Chinta died because of you!

You killed him!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Wow, detective! You're quite something.

You even had it going with the boy's sister?

Why assault me?!

For God's sake! Chinta, you sold Chinta!

Watch it, everyone! An officer using violence!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Violence! Violence!

Stop it, cut it out! Don't do this here!

Assaulting a journalist? Have you gone mad?

That journalist was tailing me.

He secretly took pictures of me and sold the information to Uebayashi!

How could that be? Do you have any proof?

I'll find proof, no matter what.

Sit, fucker!

The boy was your mole, wasn't he?

He got killed while working for you.

He was providing information to stop a war!

Information, my ass. Who do you think you are, 007?

You aren't the only one keeping the peace around here, motherfucker!

Superintendent...

Anyway, Hioka,

you're off the case. And I want a detailed report.

But I haven't got time for...

Shut up and write!

Even about Irako's death three years ago!

Every detail!

We are public officials, after all.

Paperwork is everything.

Got it?

Superintendent! A shooting! An Odani member was hit!

Let go of me!

Bring me Hioka right away!

Everything's that swine's fault!

Don't waste your breath!

Bring him here!

You really should write that detailed report.

It's your trust in justice that brought you all the way here, wasn't it?

If I write it...

you can as well bid me farewell.

The superintendent... I mean, the top brass...

They know I got things on them.

I am in their way.

That's why

they're desperately looking for proof

that would tie me to Irako's death.

I won't fall into their trap.

No way.

Ogami's to blame, too.

He entrusted a young policeman like you

with a too heavy load to carry.

Friend.

Can you do something for me?

For an old man approaching the end of his road?

I got nothing to lose.

It's my last chance

to leave my mark on our organization.

Do you mean that?

We are

partners, right?

So...

There was you and Ichinose behind Irako's killing?

Back then, it was the only way to stop the war.

I found out Irako was going

to a boss's meeting in Kurihara,

and I told Ichinose from Odani-gumi about it.

Odani-gumi?

Hioka told Seshima

about his involvement in the 1988 murder

of Shohei Irako,

and, together, they looked for a way out of that difficult situation.

Wait! It's me!

You never know when to stop...

You've got me wrong! I didn't sell that kid!

- Who else did, then?! - Listen, damn it!

Don't lie to yourself!

It happened because you Hiroshima cops

let Uebayashi do what he wanted.

Don't pretend you don't know.

I'm talking about the piano teacher's murder.

How's it possible that there are still no leads?

Why wasn't he arrested?

- There was no proof... - That's bullshit!

They were laughing because they didn't even need to hide the proof.

What do you mean?

Now Hiroshima will revert to the bad old times.

Isn't that what the Hiroshima police always wanted?

And they don't want you making trouble.

They left Uebayashi alone so he'd make all this mess.

Otherwise, how can you explain what has happened?

It can't be.

Still no forensic report?

You know, we might never find out what really happened.

I've just talked to a friend in the lab.

He told me that the seminal fluid found in the victim's vagina

matches the one of a former convict.

Well, nobody told me about that...

It matches Uebayashi's!

- Wait! - What's your game?!

I-I was just following headquarters orders!

- Orders?! - That's right!

They have always wanted Uebayashi free to act!

The secret police is in it, too!

The secret police...?

What do you want?

- Where's Seshima? - Sejima?

No, Seshima. He doesn't answer. Do you know anything?

How could he?!

There's been no one living there for years.

What?

So there was you and Ichinose behind Irako's killing?

Back then, it was the only way to stop the war.

I found out Irako was going

to a boss's meeting in Kurihara,

and I told Ichinose from Odani-gumi about it.

From Odani-gumi?

Ogami couldn't stop him, so...

I told you not to come in.

Allow me at least

to offer incense.

Go away.

This...

You helped him get it, right?

He would have never been able to do it on his own.

That's how you talked him into being a spy?

"For the good of the nation," right?

How could have a kid who could only be a delinquent

made it there, when he didn't even speak a word of Korean?

He told me

that your mother was there.

Our mother, in South Korea?

How stupid.

How could she be there?!

She ran away with a petty Yakuza.

If she's anywhere nowadays, it would be in a brothel.

He did all that for this?

How could he have been so stupid?!

- Don't touch me! - I must!

Go away! Don't touch me!

I must! I must!

Why did you do such a thing?

Who gave you this right… to you, policemen?!

How much longer must we suffer?

I'm not a policeman anymore.

I'm a dog.

Nothing more than a dirty dog.

It's my fault

that Chinta got killed.

It's my fault

that Chinta's dead!

It's my fault...

Chinta...

Chinta!

Chinta!

Chinta...

Hey! What are you doing in here?!

You know, I feel like going to war.

Can you write it?

To war?

Against whom?

Uebayashi?

Or the Hiroshima police?

Possible involvement of the Pearl Enterprise CEO, Uebayashi.

Has the Hiroshima police covered up a murder suspect?

Top brass orders!

You just have to find

kids to take the blame and give themselves up.

Me and Yoshida will take care of the police and the newspaper.

Come on, Uebayashi. You know me.

I see you as the future leader of the Hiroshima Jinsei-kai.

You'll take...

the place that's waiting for you as Hiroshima boss.

So, please... Go easy, for now.

I beg you!

Why should I care what you think about me?

I'm not coming after your sorry old ass.

You punk!

Do you want to destroy the Hiroshima Jinsei-kai?!

Exactly.

I destroy everything I lay my hands on.

Do it for your sister.

Go.

- Mr. Hioka, the cigarettes. - Hioka! Stop!

Wait!

Hioka!

Do you know what you did, you piece of shit?!

Don't move!

Boss.

Word goes that that cop, Hioka, was suspended and locked up.

What shall we do?

Nothing, we get ready for war.

Are we attacking the Odani?

When we do it, his suspension won't last long.

Daddy won't be long. Be a good girl and wait.

Gimme a piece.

Song-ho!

Stop right there!

I got a call from the boss.

He told me he named you as his successor, so what are you trying to do now?

If my husband were alive, he'd never allow this behavior!

I don't give a fuck!

Where are you going?!

Let's go!

You made him write all this bullshit?!

Don't you care you're throwing mud all over us?

Nakagami.

What?

Uebayashi's attacking?!

We just received that info.

Got it.

Call Kurihara East and talk to them.

Yes!

Fuck.

Everything's going down the drain!

And who's the fault for all this mess?

Where are you going?

Can I have a tea?

Go ahead and help yourself.

If this story is true...

a lot of heads will roll upstairs.

Hioka! Don't do it!

Hioka!

Fuck, don't do it!

Wanna die?!

Catch him, someone!

Hey, you! That's enough!

What were you doing?

Haven't I told you not to take your eyes off him?

I'm sorry, sir!

Go right away. Go the fuck and catch him!

I'm sorry.

Move it!

Yes sir, I'm sorry.

We're coming, cocksuckers!

Boss, it's a big one.

What the fuck's happening?!

Die!

Hanada! Die!

Uebayashi!

Hioka!

Die, fucker!

You should know I won't go easily.

When I was a kid, the god of death visited me.

He wouldn't let me go ever since.

I tried in all ways to get his sickle, but it burned.

It won't let me die easily.

What did I tell you?

You too have a god of death behind your back!

You fool! Gods of death do not exist.

The only reason that we're still alive

is that the police has used us.

That's all there is to it.

Come back here.

Hey! Hey! Hey! What the fuck's happening?!

Take them away, quickly!

What happened?

His thumb! The thumb!

I told you to do it!

You just won't stop raising hell, will you?!

Oh well, it seems I'll have to put you in jail this time.

Hey!

Why...

why with my gun?!

Now... we're even.

What happened here?

What have you done?

What the fuck have you done?!

Die! I'll kill you!

Just die!

An ambulance!

- Call an ambulance, quickly! - Hioka!

In 1992, the law against organized crime was enacted.

Hands off, I said! I can walk on my own!

In the entire country, operations to eliminate the gang were started.

The arrested criminals served as a warning for all the others.

"Hatsu," again?

"Ron!"

"Haku dora one."

Another hidden hand? Pretend, at least. What a bore.

As long as I win, who cares?

- What a sleazy way to play. - You can say that again.

Another shochu, nice and strong!

Hey, agent, sir!

Want some of my octopus over rice?

Thank you.

Meanwhile,

Hioka was noiselessly demoted and transferred to the north of Hiroshima.

The Hiroshima police had to hide the fact that Hioka had shot a suspect

with his superior's gun.

Detective dies hit by a lorry.

Have you heard the news, sir?

About the wolf?

My nephew says he saw one in the hills.

Let's be serious.

It's been a long time since there were wolves in Japan.

But he insists he has seen one.

Right?

There is so much livestock around, and the firemen are offering their help.

Won't you come, too?

Okay, listen to me! Be careful out here!

Where are you?!

Where have you gone?!
