Are you Jiro Sagae?

Come with me.

Who are you?

- Have you forgotten Katsuo Hino?
- The man I killed?

Your gang attacked them.

Katsuo was my little brother.

I've just spent eight years in jail.
That's payment enough.

Most people would agree,
but I don't.

I've waited eight years
for this day...

to kill you!

Darling! Please stop!

- Stop it.
- Get away!

If you kill him,
what will happen to us?

- I don't care!
- Please stop! Stop it!

You're mine. Don't forget that.

Jiro...

No need for formalities, my boy.

Come, let me look at you.

I have returned.

You must have suffered.

Sorry I couldn't pick you up
from jail.

You gave up your freedom
to save the Ichimonji Family,

but I've let it go to ruin.

I'm ashamed of myself.

No, Godfather.
I have failed to help you.

It's a painful tale to tell.

Those worthless punks moved in
and took over Ichimonji territory.

Then the Hazama Family
forced them out.

Hazama the killers?

Jail was full of talk
about their exploits.

Their Don is a good man.

After I fell ill,
he was very kind to me.

He's paying for all my hospital bills.

I'm back.

Jiro!

My blood brother!

Welcome home.

This is great, isn't it?

The other men all drifted away.

Only Joji stayed.

- Thanks, Joji.
- This calls for a celebration.

All right. It's been years
since I had tuna sushi.

Before that,
I must thank Hazama.

Yes, go and pay your respects.

Who are you?

Jiro Sagae
of the Ichimonji Family.

This way.

Excuse me.

I'm Jiro Sagae, here to thank you
for taking care of my Godfather.

Ah, I see...

If you'd been around,
maybe he wouldn't have fallen.

Well, I don't know about that.

You're a modest man.

What are your plans?

I just got out, I haven't decided.

How about you work for me?

To be honest,
I've been waiting for you to get out.

Our Don wants you
to run Takagawa City.

Takagawa?

It's a boom town,
a big factory will be built there.

It's new and it's got promise.

It has a few minor gangs there,

but you could soon
consolidate them into one.

The Don is offering you a big chance.

You have better men than me
who could do this.

I know you're capable.
So what do you say?

My opinion doesn't matter.
First I must consult my Godfather.

He offered you control
of Takagawa City?

Take it! It's a great chance.

Don't be stupid.
It could cost us our lives.

But this is a chance to start over,
to reform the family.

Don't forget, Joji, for the past
eight years Jiro's been in prison.

Don't worry about that, sir.

What do you think of their offer?
Think it over, then you decide.

I owe Hazama for all his help.

But I don't want to risk your life.

Very well... I'll accept.

Hazama promised he'd leave me
to run it as I see fit.

More than anything, I want
to hang up the family crest again.

Allow me to introduce Jiro Sagae
of the Ichimonji Family.

Now he's your captain.

- This is Joji.
- Evening.

This is Naruse.
He used to be an actor.

I couldn't make a living,
so I took this up.

Next is lizuka.

Next to him is Nakatsu.

Both are failed singers.

No need to tell him that.

Then there's Shinjo.

A bunch of card cheats
and Warblers?

- And an actor.
- That goes for me, too.

- But you're Hazama's man.
- To keep an eye on you.

The Tono Family have run
Takagawa for five generations.

But when it was zoned
as a light industrial area,

a guy called Kitakata moved in
and his Aoba Gang took over.

The Tono Family
are being edged out.

Old-style gangsters can't compete
against modern methods.

What methods?

They buy re-zoned land cheap
from the local farmers.

Then they sell it at a profit
to the factory owner.

But one area refused
to sell land to Aoba.

The Tono Family support them,
so this area is the battleground.

Fighting over the spoils?

Aoba signed a contract with the factory
for all the land.

The Tono Family convinced
these owners not to sell to Aoba.

That's where you come in.

Seven of us are enough?

We'd need nine lives each!

Are you scared?

- You're acting again.
- What?

- Don't laugh at me!
- That's enough.

I will take your lives
into my hands.

If you don't like that, leave now.

- I don't know you.
- Me neither.

Same with you, too.

As long as you pay us,
we'll do your bidding.

- I guess we've got no choice.
- Good. Then it's decided?

Let's get one thing straight...

I get to run Takagawa my way, all right?

That's what my Don promised.

Don't let on that Hazama is behind you.

We need to talk, Hino.

Not now,
I've got something to do.

That's what we need to talk about.

Where are you taking me?

We know why you hate Jiro.

But we need you
to lay off him for a while.

- That's your problem.
- Don't mess with the Hazama Family.

You're all killers.

Get in.

- Who sent you?
- Who are you?

A friend of a friend.

- I know different.
- Hazama sent me to help you.

All right? Now get in.

Those punks are the Aoba Gang.

What are you doing?
Let me out.

Stop! Let me go!

Shut up!

Stop it!

Daddy!

Saeko! What happened?

Poor Saeko.

What did you bastards do to her?

Nothing, we just gave her
a ride home.

How dare you!

- We just did you a favour, old man.
- What?

Only good girls can make
good marriages.

You animals!
I'll call the police.

Go ahead. Then everyone'll think
she's been raped.

I've got nothing to say to you!

But we do.

- I won't sell my land.
- That's the problem, isn't it?

- Talk your old man into selling.
- Leave my daughter out of this!

More threats?

This is none of your business.

They're citizens,
you're crossing a line.

You're just trying
to score points with them.

The Tono Family don't play dirty.

And we won't let you
pick on poor farmers.

We believe in the Old Law:
"Protect those who work the land."

- What's that?
- Stop it!

This is my house.
Get out, all of you!

What happened?

The Aoba Gang tried to move in.

Again?

We took care of the Hayafune family.

If they sell their land,
everyone will.

Are you sure?

For now. But Aoba will do anything
to make them change their minds.

That's what we've got to prevent.

If the Aoba Gang get that land,
the Tono Family is finished.

I understand.

We'll not be beaten
by those worthless punks.

I hope not.

That remaining land is
our last hope.

Listen up, men.

Don't give the Aoba Gang
any chance to interfere.

You got that?

Excuse me.

Who are you?

I wish to see your Godfather.

I'm a Family Member.

Please come on in.

Excuse me.

- Your pedigree?
- Your pedigree?

- You first.
- No, you.

I must insist
you introduce yourself first.

You're our guest,
that's your prerogative.

Sorry to be so rude,
but I cannot.

I have no Godfather,
nor Family to call my own.

But I am of the line Shinjo,
by name Saburo.

I ask that your House regard me
with favour, sir.

Please forgive my abruptness.

I am of the Family Tono,
by name Emura.

I wish to see your Godfather
and Godmother.

I have had no prior dealings
with your Don.

I am not worthy,
but I beg to see your Don.

I appreciate your respectful language.

Please be at ease.

- Please enter.
- I am honoured.

Who's in charge?

I know you can hear me!

I'm in charge.

Who said you could
set up shop here?

- No one.
- No one?

Show some respect!

Relax, I'll pay up now.

Put your money away.
We're not beggars!

I didn't mean that.
I intend to visit your boss.

You'll need more than that.

Easy, easy!

Start sniffing around the factory land
and this place'll go up in flames.

Let's go.

Don't forget.

Naruse's playing his role well.

How long do we let them
get away with this?

We wait until we get our chance.

Full house.

It's a full house!

- What's this for?
- I'm giving it all back.

If I lose, I lose.
Keep it!

But I was cheating just now.

I can't help myself!
Sorry about that.

You wanted to see me?

My men say
you're an accomplished card cheat.

You heard about that? I'm sorry.

No need. I'm not angry.

Here you are.

But you're good.
I couldn't catch you out.

You embarrass me.

We could use a good card cheat.

For real?

You can tell if someone else
is cheating, right?

Yes, of course.

Go to the Aoba Gang's gambling den
and catch them cheating.

Hello? Nisshin Real Estate.

It's Hakozaki.

Tono are sending Shinjo
to Aoba's gambling den.

This could be our chance.

Yeah.
Get them to start fighting.

Tono took the bait.

It's about time.

Hey, Hino.

I can't force you,

but we could use an extra hand.

I'll help you out.

You might have to risk your life.

I won't die until I kill you.

No, not that!

I'm only tying you up.

Come on, it won't hurt.

Do as I tell you!

It won't hurt, I promise.

Sir, everything is ready.

You can enjoy her later.

But you said
she'd do anything I wanted.

We'll sort her out. This way, please.

Please, sir.

- The man's a sadist!
- Shut up!

He pays well.
So you do whatever he wants.

Sir, everything is ready for you now.

See? That's what he likes.

Nothing to get upset about, is it?

Do as you're told.
Next time, I won't be so gentle.

All bets are in.

Cards in play.

Four of a kind.

Wait.

Quit joking.

What's going on here?

Shit! No wonder
I've been losing every hand!

Calm down.
Over there, too.

You know the price for cheating.

We cut your finger off.

Nice try.
But all of you are cheating.

Show a little respect.

You tie up a poor farm girl,
and you cheat at cards.

And you ask me to show respect?

That's enough!

Too late.

That'll keep them busy for a while.

How long will he keep us waiting?

We shouldn't get into fights.

They're a reputable
machinery maker.

OK, we wait.

- Thank you for waiting.
- Where's the Director?

He's been transferred.
I'm in charge now.

I represent the Aoba Group.

I apologise for the very public fight.

I'm afraid we can no longer
have any dealings with you.

You can't do that!

After a scandal like that,
no farmer will sell to you.

We can't be getting involved
with gangsters.

That's a bit late,
after all we've clone for you.

You have grossly overpriced
the land you sold us.

I'm in charge now,
and we wash our hands of you.

Dance with me.

Should I?

- Why not?
- I wonder if I should?

Come on, honey.

No way.

"No Way"?

If this keeps up,
the Tono Family will take over.

Isn't there something we can do?

How about we just keep on
buying up more land?

The farmers won't sell to us.

Let's make them an offer
they can't refuse.

No more violence,
everyone's watching now.

If only we hadn't got caught
cheating.

You idiot!

Someone here to see you, boss.

- Who is it?
- A real estate agent.

Real estate agent? Bring him in.

What do you want?

I just opened up shop,
I'm here to pay my respects.

And there's something
I'd like to ask you.

Excuse me.

Go ahead.

I want to buy up
the rest of the farmer's land.

What?

Naturally,
I'll need your permission first.

What brings you here?

Where's Mr Hayafune?

You can't buy this land. Fuck off!

Don't order us around!

I told you, no brawling!

Stop! Stop that now!

Saeko!

Don't worry,
it's just a scratch.

Have a cold drink.

Thank you for your kindness.

What were you doing out there?

Let me introduce myself.

- Real Estate?
- We're looking to buy land here.

We're not selling!

It's not just for the factory.
Does anyone else want to sell?

Well, if we sell our land,
how can we live?

But I hear that many have
already sold out.

They were either threatened
or cheated by the Aoba Gang.

Some have been ruined.

Is the Tono Family backing those
who refuse to sell?

No one asked them to.

They're just battling the Aoba Gang.

This was once a peaceful village,
but that's all changed.

Maybe building factories
is a good thing.

But a farmer's love of the land
doesn't just disappear.

Saeko, that's enough.
It's time they left anyway.

They'll never sell.

The factory owners will have
to use different tactics.

- Not if we get in first.
- Doing what?

The Tono Family want the rest
of the land and the rest of the profits.

Before that, we'll get them
into a fight with the Aoba Gang.

Sounds interesting.
Think they'll fall for that?

You're starting to sound keen.

I want to finish this,
then finish Jiro.

You what?

Keep that up
and you'll get another beating.

- Hey, Nakatsu.
- This is too dangerous.

- Aoba are looking for you.
- I know, I'm about to leave.

The Tono Family plan to go
and talk directly to the factory owners.

I'll pass that on to Jiro.

Wait.

Nisshin Real Estate.

You, is it?

What? They've got Shinjo?

They've got him
at the Aoba Dance Hall.

We wanted to clear it first
before we help him out.

Don't do anything.
Leave him there.

Do as I say, or you'll jeopardise
the whole plan!

What's going on, brother?

Aoba got a hold of Shinjo.

So what do we do?

It's bad luck, but this could
make our strategy work.

If we move now,
we'll lose everything.

Maybe Shinjo'll tell them everything.

Before they torture him to death.

So you just forget him?

He knew this might happen.

- You're a cold bastard.
- Shut up and do as I say!

He has no reason to protect you.

I think he'll talk first.

- Maybe Tono will save him.
- Don't be stupid.

He's nothing to them,
they won't risk anything for him.

Who sent you here?

The Tono Family. I went to them.

We know that.
But who sent you?

No one.
I'm just a wandering gambler.

You're too good to be freelance.

You're all a poor excuse
for a gang.

Make him talk!

Come and dance.

Wait.

No, wait.

Turn off the light.

Is this your first time?

Who cares?

Maybe next time.

I don't feel like it.

Then why did you bring me here?
Get real!

You're crazy, but I fell for you
the first time I saw you.

- Having fun?
- Who are you?

We're next in line.

No, brother...

Just shut your mouth and watch.

No need to be scared, sweetheart.

Stop!

Take out the Aoba leadership.

But make it look
like revenge killings.

That's complicated.

It's simple.

Kill them,
then run to Tono for help.

The Tono Family?

- Then we clean up afterwards.
- Bury us, you mean?

Don't worry.
I'll make sure you're safe.

Really? Can we trust you?

Don't you trust me?

Trust you?
After you left Shinjo to die?

Yes.

If you don't like it, get out.

Decide!

We'll have to put our lives
in your hands.

You're not supposed to come here.

They'll think I'm another customer.

Tonight's plan,
isn't it too dangerous?

I know that.

If they fail, everything's lost.

I know that.
But we have no choice.

I've planned it carefully.

Maybe, but I'm against it.

But I'm the leader.

I was sent here
to keep an eye on you.

Then you should come
with us tonight.

I just want it to finish
as soon as possible.

Stop fighting amongst yourselves.

We're in danger. They're after us.

- Hand those guys over to us!
- Never!

Shut up!

What's going on?

Stop playing games!

Who are you?

Godfather!

- They killed the Tono Don?
- Yes, and everyone else.

Only we got away.

We can't negotiate our way
out of this now.

We'll have to wipe out
the Tono Family.

- Something's not right here.
- There's no time to think it over.

They'll come for revenge.

Right. Get ready for war.

Get to it, men.

This way!

You traitor!

Get moving.

Sorry.

If they see you, you're dead.

OK.

But we don't want to leave.
We'll never see you again.

Say goodbye to everyone.

I will.

MIDNIGHT GANG WAR
IN TAKAGAWA CITY

It's your choice to sell your land.

But that's what has caused
this gang war.

LAND ACQUISITION
SPARKS GANG WAR

We never asked the Tono Family
to get involved.

Maybe not,
but everyone thinks you did.

Sooner or later this land
will be developed.

What do you plan to do?

I'm just an estate agent,
I can't solve all your problems.

But I can help you to get
the best value for your land.

We've had enough
of newcomers sucking us dry.

I understand.
But I'm a businessman.

If I can put this land deal together,
I'll earn a commission.

You have to accept
that's how business works.

It looks like the factory
will go ahead.

We don't know yet.

But you're trying to organise the deal.

Don't worry.

My father and the others
will sell to you.

I'm pleased that
they trust a total stranger.

But what will happen to us all?

Once a farmer sells his land,
he has nothing.

You're wrong there.

As times change,
a new lifestyle will emerge.

I hope so.

But farmers hate change.

The land payments are
a one-time thing.

But a farm produces for years,
for centuries.

Hello, Godfather.

Take care.

- Feeling better?
- I will when I hear your story.

I met the factory owners
and closed the deal.

Really? It's all settled?

Well done.

I knew you'd succeed.

But I was worried
you might get killed.

Now I can die in peace.

Don't be silly,
you've got years ahead of you.

Exactly.
This is a new start for all of us.

I'm glad I kept
the Family Emblem safe.

We can soon display it again.

Godfather...

Why do you sound so serious?

- I hope you're well.
- Thank you for coming to see me.

- You wrapped it up.
- With your help.

I'm very impressed.

And they've invested
in your new business, too.

- New business?
- Yes, didn't you know?

A construction company.

The farmers trusted me
to set up the land deal.

I couldn't just walk away.

I thought you'd take
over the Ichimonji Family.

Even if we don't run it as before,
we'll always be Family.

We Yakuza have to change
with the times, it's inevitable.

You're right.
It's exactly as you say.

Farewell.

No need to babysit you now.

- Come by anytime.
- If we both survive.

He's a good man, after all.

- At first, I hated him.
- He had a job to do.

Darling.

You just disappeared.

- I'm so glad you're safe.
- How did you find me?

One of Hazama's men said
you were working for Jiro.

That was the last thing
I expected to hear.

We're allies now, go back to Tokyo.

I want you to come with me.

I have work to do.

You don't need to work.
I'll take care of you.

Don't say that.
I can't live off a woman.

I don't want to see you again.

Darling, no!

Your work here is done now.

Is there no stopping you?

I made a vow. Come on!

I win.

Do what you have to.

I've had enough of actors.

The truce has ended.

Next time, you're dead.

Darling.

I'd like to give special thanks
to Mr Jiro Sagae.

He gained your trust
and confidence.

And now our factory project
will go ahead.

Thank you all for your cooperation.

As you've heard from Mr Sagae,

Nisshin Construction Co. shares
have been issued to you all.

Now, all of you will have a stake
in the factory through its construction.

The first project for Mr Sagae's
Nisshin Construction

will be the building of our factory
and the attendant facilities.

We offer our full support
to this venture.

We have prepared a banquet
and I hope you all enjoy yourselves.

A few words, Mr Sagae.

I'm afraid I'm not much
of a speech maker.

- Am I bothering you?
- No, sit down.

I was so worried about the future.

But now we're all saved.

So give me a job.
I'll work really hard.

Good idea.

It's so hot.

I knew you were good,
but you've surprised me.

We expect your cooperation.

I refuse.

Have you forgotten your promise?

That was your promise.
I agreed to nothing.

You think you can get away
with that?

You're still on bail, aren't you?

You don't want to be sent back to jail.

How about you reconsider
your decision?

You're full of shit.

- Leave this to me.
- Who the hell are you?

- The Hazama Family.
- Hazama?

Yes, we're here to mediate.

Excuse me.
The gentlemen are here, sir.

Our Godfather.

Kitakata, from the Aoba Gang.
I had no idea you were here.

In any case,
let's share a drink.

Any objections
to working under my banner?

There's not much here
for you now.

I'll do what I can for you.

Godfather is being generous.
Don't insult him.

No, not at all.

I accept with gratitude.

Good. I want you two
to work together.

I beg your indulgence.

What's wrong?
You don't look very happy.

Don't be too harsh on him.

He's a major shareholder
in a legitimate company.

He has to keep his real self hidden.

Before long, we'll get rid of the farmers
and take over the company.

Then we'll need the Aoba Gang's help.

That's not what we agreed.

What do you mean?

You said I could do things
my way here.

- Did I say that?
- No mistake.

First I've heard of it.

I did what I had to,
I solved the problem.

I want you to stick
with our original agreement.

- Watch your tone.
- You oppose the Hazama Family?

Sagae...apologise.

I refuse.

I won't betray my men who died.

Shouldn't we be on our guard?

- What for?
- The Hazama Family will attack soon.

They're killers,
they can get anyone.

I'm ready for them.

But until we finish this project,
I can't die.

Mr Sagae!

This just arrived
from the factory owners.

- What is it?
- They've cut all ties to Jiro.

That's impossible!

"We ask that Jiro Sagae
be removed.

"We refuse to work with gangsters."

Damn it!

I was wondering how you were.

Fine, as you can see.

- I'll go out.
- Where to?

Hello.

All the farmers are at our place,
having a meeting.

Everyone agrees they want you
to run the company.

That's a bad decision.

Why's that?

Don't get involved
with a gangster like me.

You're no gangster!

Maybe you were, but not now.

Beautiful.

Do you like flowers?

No, I've never had any interest
in flowers.

Saeko!Saeko!

Family members only, please.

- Blood pressure?
- Down to 60 and falling.

- Pulse?
- 20.

Saeko.

- Pulse is dropping.
- Give her adrenalin.

Doctor, there's no pulse.

Who did this?
Who killed my daughter?

I heard what happened.
That's not your style.

I'm so sorry.

Unless you face him,
you won't get Jiro.

I'll get him next time.

- I'll kill him.
- You're not up to it.

That's an insult.

I'll do it.
You go back to Tokyo.

No way!
The Godfather sent me!

Silence!

You can't do it.
Go back, that's an order.

What do you want?

That was bad luck.

- Stop playing innocent!
- Joji, that's enough.

How's your wound?

It was very close.

If she hadn't been there,
I'd be dead by now.

Shall we go outside?

Well?
Weren't you sent to kill me?

Sorry.
I belong to the Hazama Family.

I understand.

But I can't let you kill me.

I'll do what I have to.

I can't do it. Run.

Just as we thought,
you like him too much.

It's not your concern.
The Godfather sent me.

Or will you defy the Hazama Family?

Your godfather doesn't
trust you anymore.

He told us to kill you both.

Joji!

Leave this to me.
Go, before the cops arrive.

I can't.

You still have work to do. Go now.

In the next life,
may we be on the same side.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

I'm so sorry that
Jiro has betrayed your trust.

He certainly has.

I know you're angry,
but can you please spare his life?

Too late for that.

Please, as a favour to me.

You owe me.
I owe you nothing.

You refuse my petition?

I warned you, old man.

Phone call.

It's me.

What? You found him?
Kill him first chance you get.

Do whatever it takes.

- They found Jiro?
- We've got him.

We've got your little henchman.

He's still following you.

Long time no see.

Soon as we heard,
we started watching him.

- We're here to help you.
- Thanks, but no.

Great line,
but you're stuck with us.

You'll end up dead.

So what?

I've taken a liking to you,
who cares if I die?

What about your girl?

I gave her the money
from the Hazama Family.

Love is a failing of mine.

First time
I've fallen for a man, though.

Sorry about that.

This way.

What, you missed him?

He's got people helping him.

Where's Jiro now?

We lost him, I'm sorry.

I don't need your apologies.
Just get him and kill him!

Let's get them!

Godfather!

Don't worry about me, Jiro.

All of you, drop your weapons!

Do it now!

Godfather!

Jiro, get away.

I didn't realise they were
such deceitful bastards.

What did you expect?
All Yakuza are.

THE END
