Hello.
- A Bloody Marry... Mary? - A Bloody Mary?
- Your shop is closed. - lt was open six months...
l wanted more machines.
But no space?
Like to gamble?
Yeah, l used to bet on everything.
Another!
- A problem? - No good...
- What? - The bottom... it's not soda.
- lt's melted ice. - So what?
Bourbon and soda.
The ice melts.
What?!
- Excuse me... - Asshole!
l see.
- You know mine! - Yeah: bourbon soda.
Shut up!
Why?
Baby talk.
What...
You drunk?
Hey, you forgot to stir it!
The bubbles last longer that way.
Looks sloppy.
Same as the first.
Yeah?
l've seen you before...
Don't think so.
Jazz...
l hate it.
We can't cater only to you.
Did l ask you to?!
You sounded unhappy...
Another bar might suit you better?
- l see... - No need to pay.
What?!
You're not welcome here.
Don't piss me off.
l said, don't fuck with me!
You threatening me?
He's calling me a thug.
The bill!
No need.
lt's him!
- What the hell! - Hey! Stop it!
Give me the bill!
l hate your snivelling face!
Awful...
- So drunk... - He's not... you know.
Just a bourbon soda...
Harassment!
He looked tired, from working.
- Working? - That was his work.
For money?
An old trick.
Old? Be careful.
Comes back?
The trouble is...
the two...
who were attacked... a minor...
and the patron.
He wanted them.
Really...
You'll be suspended.
Fuck!
l didn't no nothin'...
Some never go to jail... but me...
Not the first time...
l've seen her.
Somewhere...
l become lucky when this happens.
Brother!
- Hey, Kajita! - Hello!
Long time... so now you're a drug pusher?
Shit! You look down on me
Aren't you tough!
- Sorry... - Must be hard line. - What?
Your boss... greedy for money and women.
Shut up!
'Hardhead Fool' aka 'Like a Rolling Stone'
l see... l know it.
Don't push it.
l hate to repeat myself.
You shouldn't be so defiant.
When we panic, they are too.
Even if they start it, it must be night.
We shouldn't panic.
Listen, Kurauchi...
l'm coming...
but not now.
l've got things to do.
l'll meet you after dark.
l know...
Well, the Boss isn't there.
He's hiding at some woman's house.
Don't panic.
Five men are enough.
Not if the Boss is there.
lf you whine, it proves you're chicken.
lf it happens, it must be at night.
Not now.
Daytime's no good.
So: night time.
Don't worry.
That chicken shit, Kurauchi!
Tanaka.
l see...
Boss, don't worry...
A scrap between punks.
Their junior members are like punks.
An ambulance... big deal.
l'll handle it.
Don't worry.
lt's nothing.
Yes... you let me do what l wanted,
now l can return the favour.
Please, relax.
Just leave everything to me.
l'll negotiate if l have to.
You better have protection.
Keep them with you.
You won't do anything, anyhow!
Pushing me your dirty work.
l'm always going to jail for you!
Enough is enough!
Who cares!
After doing time, l talk to myself.
Just an excuse...

lt's me.
The fight...
Boss ran away to some woman's house.
He can never lead a fight.
He's a weakling.
Call the police.
Say there's a fight.
lf the police are there, they can't fight.
When the police arrive, l'll go there.
Good idea...
Please call.

l called the police.
l told the truth.
They asked how l knew.
l said l'm your girlfriend, and l want you to quit.
You're my woman.
- No kidding. - l should hope not!
Eight years since we met...
Stop shaking!
l'd kill you... but l won't go to jail for you!
How is it?
Look...
Can't move my right hand...
l tried not to get cut.
Why you...
lf they kill me, they win.
Who's complaining?
Yoshimoto...
Let's use him now.
Yeah?
Hey, let me in! ls Yoshimoto there?
Filthy hole! lt smells... wash the dishes.
Hello, Mr. Tanaka.
Why are you here?
How is it?
How do you feel?
Tanaka.
ls the Boss OK?
lf he's OK... fine.
l'm at Yoshimoto's.
l sent the hitmen back.
Hitmen?!
Two attacked me. l fought back.
Can't use my hand...
Tried not to get cut.
Too bad!
Yoshimoto has another guy...
so we'll attack them.
Careful...
l don't want more trouble.
Drop it?!
They sent hitmen!
l was almost killed.
Three aren't enough, send some here.
They're punks in their territory.
l'll eliminate them!
Hey! Your name?
Kajita.
l want you to meet sometimes.
- Brother? - Yes...
he's tough. He can help us.
l'm Kajita. Hello!
Yoshimoto...
- got a gun? - No...
l used to, but turned it in.
- Knives? - A wooden sword.
No need to turn it in.
- Show me. - Hey!
Your hand OK?
l faked it...
they think l might start trouble.
lt's exposed...
- You guys are traitors. - How dare you?!
- l am... - l know...
you're an informer.
A young member can help the Boss.
You're traitors, but your intentions were good.
But now, it's in the open.
They know you're an informer.
lf you go there, you'll end up with concrete boots.
How can l send you there?
Brother!
Hey! Your shoes!
Ready?
- Take this skinhead! - Why?!
Young man, our meeting was not good. Goodbye.
Wait! Please!
Wait!
Where to?
Only one place for finks.
He thinks the kickback is too much.
So, he tried to take you.
But, you are a mole.
- l was... - l know.
A yakuza isn't...
just a cut finger.
lf his body is found and you're OK, they'll be pissed.
- You'll be hunted. - Awful...
lt'll be more than one finger.
What can l do?
Kill Okawa.
Okawa?!
After a few years in jail, you'll be a big man.
Nobody misses a punk like Kajita.
l won't force you.
But, you'll be hunted.
lt's easy for them to know you're a mole.
We won't punish you.
We'll let you be.
We're even now with the enemy.
Kill Okawa. We'll be powerful.
And Kajita?
Members who think we have recruits are useless.
lf his body is found, they'll be after you.
l'll kill him.
So what!
Thank you.
Foie-gras is bad for an old man like me.
But l can't stop...
Like being a yakuza when l was young.
l can't have them often.
Soon, you'll be like me.
Sweet white wine goes well.
Nonsense!
A full-bodied red wine is best.
l don't know much about wine.
Anything with alcohol is fine.
Chateau Margeux... 40,000 yen.
40,000!
Tanaka... you were in jail?
Eight years in total... four times.
l was ready again after this fight.
You talked well, and it's over.
One arrest, but nobody killed.
A great victory. Now, it's easier to work.
l want you to work harder.
l want to promote you.
l always work hard.
Start your own group.
You wanted to talk about that?
Yeah.
Yes, sir?
No... the waiter.
Don't shake it!
Tanaka, take it!
You should be promoted.
l'm not worthy.
Only you can do it!
You got your own boys.
l allowed it up to now.
Good food... expensive wine! Women and cars!
A con-man becomes great that way.
l've decided l'll see myself out!
The Boss is a snob.
Only him...
How was it?
Wants my own group.
Good.
They won't leave me alone.
He gives me all the dirty work.
They'll take a big cut.
Still profit for us.
l thought l'd become the new Boss...
but no such luck.
l have eight, including you.
You manage the younger ones.
Yes.
l spoke foolishly.
You wanna come out of there?
Your only friends are the bubbles.
Boss!
You changed after l became my own boss.
You're a great bar owner now.
My Boss changed second most.
He doesn't even move.
A savvy yakuza has a lady run the business.
He didn't like it.
Well... he despised me.
Why aren't l Boss?
Kurauchi, that bean counter!
He skimmed as much as possible.
Why does he hate me so much?
He can't even answer.
The family has changed third most.
Clearly weaker.
How much longer?
A year? Less?
Excuse me.
Family trouble...
Another attack.
Fifth time.
They never use knives.
They just threaten them.
The Boss won't recover.
They try to take advantage.
Kurauchi's too weak.
Hello!
Tanaka, what's happening?
- To help you? - War!
- You must! - Boss's order?
You know he can't.
Your fault for not backing me up.
l never said l wouldn't help you.
When the Boss was well, he asked me to manage the speed trafficking.
Protect the drugs, at any cost.
lf l don't have to, l'll help.
We got trouble, too.
Since then, the speed traffic is in jeopardy.
- lt's also important. - Then...
who's at fault for a weaker family?
Stop calling me 'mister'.
l must use 'mister' to the new Boss.
Well... the Boss is sick.
They take advantage.
We should fight back.
So, what should l do?
Boss said protect the drug traffic.
To protect it, or give it up?
Not both.
Not when we both have trouble.
Which? Tell me.
You won't help us?
Don't be premature.
lf l help now...
the order isn't kept.
l want it in writing.
You're difficult!
You wouldn't help us anyway!
lt's not our first fight...
l've managed so far.
l was responsible.
Now, it's your turn.
l'm asking you.
Uncle?
You sound miserable, Kurauchi.
You give me all the dirty work...
forget my group...
Let's all meet!
l'll repeat it...
lt's my request.
lt's odd.
You'll be the new head? Order me around?
The family may collapse.
- Let's all meet. - OK. - Why must l beg you?
You'll help if it's decided?
Why are you here now?
You're setting a bad example.
Where did l see her?
When l was young?
Sugimoto...
lt's Tanaka...
See you.
Let them watch there.
lt's not me.
He'll come.
l found a good girl.
Usable?
l think so.
- l'll meet her now. - Speed?
Sometimes...
when l find a girl and want to send her to hell.
You're a real gangster bitch!
Are you tough also?
Not really.
l can't stick to it, now l'm holding...
But, someday, l may throw away everything.
Excuse me.
Have a seat.
We need one more trick.
lf you were Kurauchi...
speed isn't a good enough excuse to avoid trouble?
l can make more trouble, but he doesn't trust us.
Kurauchi is chicken, but he's also sharp.
What do you mean, a trick?
Who can go to jail?
Should l?
No, we must grow stronger.
l won't let you.
lt's better not to go to jail.
How about Muto? He's 22.
Convince him?
Four years.
He's got guts.
Who do we kill?
lf we do, we become the target.
But influential to the family.
But, after all... we're small.
How's Kajita?
The one with Yoshimoto?
Wait!
Pose as a hitman.
Yoshimoto killed the boss.
Not strange for Kajita to be a hitman, to save his name.
That's the only way for him.
lf Kajita tries to kill me... that's the trick.
l can take one more knifing.
Let Muto kill Kajita.
l can surely kill him.
Don't go to jail.
Muto will do it. Leave it to me.
By tomorrow evening.
- Kill Kajita with a knife. - l know.
l'll go to the meeting...
to report my commitment to fight.
lt's our secret. Don't tell a soul!
Not even Muto.
lf there's a fight, l'll lead.
But, l must take care of the drug traffic, also.
So, understand that l can't stay here.
We'll use three cars.
All my men will join in.
We'll take all the guns.
We have 11 ...
you have 40.
My men will rescue you... if you're attacked.
When l was a child...
on the way back from school...
l'm out, even as a gang member...
Like a punk addicted to fighting...
That's why my Boss hates me.
l must be crazy...
l may die from Kojita's attack.
Am l afraid?
What's your name?
Yoko.
How old?
21.
l'm Tanaka.
What do you do?
Guess?
A manager...?
l must get her addicted...
Use her to make money, sleeping with a rich man.
Give her to Yoshie, whilst l'm keeping her hooked.
- Something funny? - Mumbling old fart!
- You called me old! - Wait!
Told me to wait!
Hey! You grabbed me!
- You're bold. - l'll punch you! - Anytime!
Hmmm, old drunk! Come on!
Sorry!
You'll kill me! Sorry!
What?! l know if you're out or not!
l can beat you without killing you.
We're so sorry!
Then, pay me!
Pay...
Not enough!
Then your life!
Gang custom!
l still have some luck left!
Brother!
Long time, no see.
Yoshimoto's in jail, because of you.
- Brother... - l ain't your brother!
You prepared by asking me to come.
''Asking you''?
Yeah, you asked me to come.
l didn't bring a gun, 'cause l know you wanna fight me.
Fight you?
Fight for Yoshimoto.
No way!
So, you'll be killed.
Why?! Hold it!
Sugimoto asked me to come here.
Hey, punk... dirtbag! l'm by myself.
lt's Tanaka... who is this?
Kurauchi.
They're serious.
What is it?
A hitman...
He stabbed me.
l was almost killed... it's deep.
Because of the drug traffic mess.
My men chased him.
l cut him too...
so they must have him by now.
A hitman?!
They're serious.
Why not carry a gun?
What did you say?
Say it again!
Wait for me, l'm coming...
to kill you.
What?!
Why're you angry?
Don't you know where l work?
Speed! Undercover police...
and detectives here.
lf l carry a gun, it's stupid.
l can only carry a small knife.
You asked why l don't have a gun?
Wait there, Kurauchi!
Sorry...
Place is crawlin' with cops 'cause of our fight.
Doesn't know, and still takes a big cut!
Wait! l apologise...
l'm responsible.
l'm gonna sew up my cut, but...
you disappointed me before that.
Brother, how about paying less tax?
l'm sorry... How about half?
lt's up to me.
Almost completely perfect...
Hey, you wanna come out?
You can only live inside.
You wanna come out, use your wits.
Kurauchi! Lazy! Shit!
The Boss is still fighting!
Well, OK...
The family is powerless...
l'll control it.
Who the hell?
Who is it?
Sugimoto.
Come in. lt's open.
l know you'll scold me...
but l had to come here.
Please excuse me.
lt's open. Come in.
Are you alright?
Don't worry. Sit down.
l had to see you.
Finished.
And?
l felt... bad.
l watched everything.
And Muto?
He did it right.
That's why l got a new wound.
Tomorrow, he's going to the police.
Thanks.
The family owes us a lot now.
That's right.
We saved face.
Boss...
after seeing you...
l feel much better.
l'm leaving.
Sugimoto...
What?
Everything's fine.
Everything.
Then what did you do?
Someday, he'll hate me...
like l hate the Boss.
Go on...
Once you're out, you'll be promoted.
For sure!
Hello?
Sugimoto.
We have one more speed route now.
Since we got the first route, the volume doubled.
Good job.
l'm going back.
Kurauchi wants the first route back.
Kurauchi can't force me....
but, l promised l'd return it.
But...
just giving it back isn't our way.
We doubled it.
We'll keep the new one, and give back the old.
The police watch the old one...
soon, they'll investigate it.
They don't care if it's old or new...
all they need is recognition.
Time to get rid of the old route.
Wait!
Hello...
Where to?
l'm Tanaka. Are you Taniuchi?
- Don't enter so suddenly! - The bill at the club...
They sent you all the way here, just for that?
l told the bar hostess to wait.
You're a customer of Emi.
She borrowed money for you...
from the wrong place.
Now she works in massage.
l'll pay 400,000 yen.
No, it's 4 million yen.
- What?! - She borrowed 4 million for your debts.
She asked me to collect.
My commission is 2% ...
- 80,000 yen. - Actually, 8,000 yen.
l'll pay 8,000! Get lost, l'm busy!
Some charge 40% .
lf l can't collect... she'll ask them.
Then your payment increases...
to more than 4 million.
l can't pay what l don't have.
Then, they'll take your company.
Your house, too.
My job is finished.
l hope you won't regret this...
lt's over if they come.
You can't use such old tricks!
Let me tell you... once they come, pay up.
Too bad. lt's your fee for screwing Emi.
That's life.
Oh, yeah...
When we don't threaten anyone, the cops wonder.
And our members for a purpose.
How are you?
- How old? - 19.
Same age l joined at.
- When? - Last week.
Serious business.
The fringes of society try to live together.
You may die for the group.
l can only... die for the mob.
Don't waste your life.
l'll let you know.
Where were you?
l'm more suited as a yakuza, not president.
Let us know when you go out.
lf you're killed, what will happen?
l know.
Call Munakata.
Let us know.
Munakata!
New work. Take some men...
- And do what? - Not a gang war...
it's risky. Muto's in jail.
He's a citizen. No injury. No cops.
Be discrete.
The dress company...
shut them down for a few days.
Don't be seen.
Watch for cops.
- How much damage? - ldiot! Use your head!
Why am l excited by such a woman?
l called her... not like a yakuza.
Long wait?
Hello.
- Manhattan. - Me too. - Yes.
l didn't give you my number.
l know everything, if l want to.
Tanaka... you're not an office worker.
You know?
Guess how l feel?
l feel awkward...
Awkward.
Keeping women by sex...
l've tried it before.
But, l don't feel like it with her.
Only you can satisfy me.
l like you, too.
Be gentle...
l don't like it rough.
When she was excited...
all l thought about was how to use her.
l'm almost satisfied...
what if l'm completely satisfied?
First time for me. lt's scary.
Taniuchi called me. He asked about you.
l told him to ask Emi.
Emi isn't home, so he's at a loss. Call him.
Tanaka? l'll pay 4 million yen.
A waste, but l've no choice...
You're joking. lt's not my concern.
l'll pay. Not enough?
You should have said so before.
Tell her to stop harassing me.
What?
Spoilt merchandise... Our cars get into accidents...
some cancel.
Emi's collectors are doing it.
Have you received calls?
Once. They didn't say how much.
Call Emi, and tell her l'll pay!
Collectors try to get as much as possible.
How much is enough?
l don't know.
How much are you ready to pay?
4.5 million.
Sorry... got a cold.
They want double.
lt's even more, with damages!
400,000 was too much.
You didn't pay. Now just trouble.
What will happen to you? Who cares!
l've spoken to the police.
Did they help you?
Can't you help me?
Please, Mr. Tanaka...
Let Emi take a holiday.
She yields a lot.
Keep her away for a month.
You've changed.
- You too. - Got worse?
l love being a bar owner. Better than before!
- Satisfied? - Maybe.
You too...
Everything's fine...
lt's odd...
you only like your bath. Now you use mine.
Odd? l've changed?
- She's still here. - Who?
Her... from three days ago.
How come?
She's in training...
Alcohol and speed don't mix.
Not if she drinks.
l gave her ecstasy.
Ecstasy?
l made her orgasm...
better than you.
Women can please one another, better than a man.
She was crazy drunk, then crazy sober.
Even crazier on speed.
How?
A secret.
Besides, it's useless for men to know.
Not for men and women?
Right.
l could care less...
l hate my teacher.
Yoko will hate you too.
l took care of her...
She's in a hell, where even hate can't exist.
l enjoy it when she writhes in pain.
Bring more women.
Even better if you like them.
Women are so evil...
Men only kill.
Women have a private hell.
She brings a lot of money.
She'll be sexier in a year or so.
l'll change the amount...
when she pleases men.
l'll give her more speed.
Soon, she'll only want to please men.
You should try her then.
You do good work.
Bring more girls.
Better, ones you like.
Best, ones you love.
Does it hurt you?
No, l'm a yakuza!
Still thinks l'm an office worker...
not a yakuza.
Let's make love in front of her.
My body isn't so great...
but l can help.
Can't even talk to the Boss.
Unconscious for months.
He'll wake up when he dies.
For a minute, a second...
Then he'll know he's dying.
lmpossible... brain damage.
He must wake up.
How will he know he's dying?
l hope so, too.
He will.
l won't leave.
l got a lot to say...
Why didn't you make me the new Boss?
Why did you neglect the family and demand payment?
Don't say that!
You didn't like me...
Mr. Kurauchi...
l won't leave.
When you die...
someone close must teach the dying.
Hey, you...
See you in hell.
You hit me.
You ripped me off.
Tanaka...
Uncle...
is he finished?
The doctor says so.
He may die at any moment.
Kurauchi, Tanaka must be rubbed out.
Lucky l have my own group...
lf l were the new Boss, l'd have problems.
l established my own group.
lf the Boss watches, l could never be free.
You're strange.
Tell me how it happened.
l told you before...
How many times...?
Many...
Blood and guts?
Yeah.
- Murder? - Yes.
- Are you excited? - Yeah.
l didn't feel anything...
except a hot sensation.
The knife went deep...
how deep...
l can tell how the knife feels.
Maybe it didn't reach my innards...
l chased the enemy...
l touched the cut...
lt felt wet, but actually... it's sticky.
Blood clots after a while.
When l sew it up, it's difficult.
My fingers get bloody, one by one.
l don't even feel any pain.
Close the cut... stop the bleeding.
The needle slips...
lt's worst when l pull out the thread.
When the cut is closed, l pull out the thread.
The feeling of thread through flesh is sickening.
We make a good couple...
you and me.
l wish someone was always dying.
lt feels like time is passing slowly.
How's the bar?
The girls keep me busy...
it's fine if you give me speed.
No problem.
This was over, but seems more profitable than massage parlours.
lf you want it all from girls, it's no good.
They make money in massage parlours.
Why ruin other women?
Well, Yoko is...
suffering the most now.
She had a lover.
But made love to me.
He loved her.
He looked for her, and came here.
To rescue her?
Too late.
He tried to find this place and got your name from Yoko.
What can he do?
l fear normal people.
They're unpredictable.
He didn't suffer.
He died in his sleep.
As a yakuza.
Kurauchi was...
Lucky.
Yakuza die on the street...
the Boss said so.
But he died in hospital.
Kurauchi is the new Boss.
He can't manage the family and retain power.
Sugimoto, the Boss died today.
That's why.
lf he is Boss, the old Boss turns in his grave.
He will tie up with the uncle.
Can't be so powerful.
We can ruin them if necessary.
At the start, the Boss was patient...
and slowly gained power.
Waste them.
We're yakuza.
Let me off. l like the breeze.
No, it might be dangerous.
lt's OK, see you before 8am.
OK.
Not my way of life.
Just coincidence.
To threaten people and hurt them suits me.
l can't always be that lucky.
l'll be killed sometime.
Tanaka?
Who are you?
Give me Yoko!
That slut?
- You forced her! - She loves it!
- l'll kill you! - You've waited for this?
- For Yoko. - But, you saw me...
You want to kill her?
l was going to obey her.
Don't know how to use it.
You have the wrong grip.
Chicken!
She's a whore...
so pay for her!
You can't even do that!
Coward! Come on!
Kill me!
Or l'll kill you.
What did l want?
By being stabbed... l wanted to get rid of the punk inside me?
Needle and thread!
Cut it!
The thread!
You're my type!
You too...
lt's as if l was stabbed just to show you my blood.
l'll get medicine.
Just once, OK?
l know.
My overcoat is fine, but my pants are bloody...
