You really made a fucking mess.
What you going to do about it?
You shouldn't drink so much.
We had hell of a time stopping you.
You're strong for an old man.
As soon as we stopped you wrecking the place, you jumped Akemi.
You got a pretty good tool.
But it did bad things to Akemi.
So we're going to fix it.
Give me the razor.
Hold him down.
This might hurt a bit.
Shit! It broke. Get some scissors.
Get the scissors!
Wait.
Maybe this is better.
Put his dick through the loop and yank both ends.
Hold him down.
We do it on three.
Stop! I'll do anything!
Help me!
Let's go. One two...
Hold it! Hold it!
What the fuck are you doing? Let him go.
Mr. Iriuchijima!
Stop bothering my friend.
You're not a kid any more. You shouldn't behave like this.
Poor Akemi. Did you know she is only 18 years old?
This is bad.
You could be arrested for sexually assaulting a minor.
Did I do all this?
You sure did.
We're in big trouble.
To tell you the truth...
This place belongs to the Boss of the Black Swamp Gang.
His mistress runs it.
If things get bad, I may have to chop my finger off.
What can we do?
$100,000!
Can you hush this up for $100,000?
Please, Mr. Iriuchijima!
Don't pay $100,000.
Don't pay anything!
This may sound harsh.
You were insane ever to visit their place alone.
A stupid mistake for a smart executive.
But everybody makes mistakes.
Just be careful not to repeat him.
And paying $100,000 would be repeating.
But I promised.
General Manager.
Leave everything to me.
I'll handle it.
Never meet them again.
Don't take their calls.
Understand?
I am Mahiru Inoue.
I'm Mr. Kobayashi's attorney.
What?
We don't want no lawyer.
We want Kobayashi.
Get lost!
We want him!
About this...
Why isn't he here?
He's got to keep his promise.
He gave me full power-of-attorney.
You may not deal with him.
Say, Ms. Inoue.
Kobayashi got down on his knees and promised to pay me.
So, I guess you brought the money.
Money?
I didn't bring any.
Then go get it.
He wants to pay.
No lawyer can deny that.
Or are you going to pay us on his behalf?
I'm a lawyer. I don't do such things.
Why are you here?
I'm his attorney.
We don't want no lawyer.
Got that, bitch?
We want him to repay his debt directly.
Repay what debt?
He never borrowed your money.
On what do you base your claim?
He said he would pay.
It's between me and him. It's none of your business.
He says you threatened him.
Nobody threatened him.
Can you prove it?
Can you prove he owes money to you?
We have witnesses.
We're all witnesses.
Then go ahead and file a suit.
If you feel he is liable, go to court.
I can't do that.
Lawsuits take too much money and time.
Be reasonable with us.
Legally speaking...
He said he'd pay.
Not keeping a promise is ethically wrong.
I'm talking about ethics.
Do you have an IOU?
No. It was a verbal promise between gentlemen.
Will he welch on a verbal agreement?
I will never accept that.
I don't intend to do anything illegal.
So report it to the police.
If I do that, will you pay?
Of course not.
Then, you had better let me talk to him directly.
If anybody breaks a promise and run away...
I teach them a very hard lesson.
What you say is bullshit.
I can teach lawyers lessons, too.
Listen, lady lawyer!
As I said...
Just bring me Kobayashi.
He is very afraid.
Of what?
This is a safe, law-abiding country.
I'll meet him in a nice, open place.
I'm not asking to meet in a dark alley.
But he's afraid.
You come along too, then.
If you're seeing me, you don't need to be afraid.
But when you aren't seeing me...
What do you mean?
How do I know?
I just want to be paid back.
I live a fair-and-square life.
I just want him to keep his promise.
If he's sincere, I might compromise with him.
But if he runs, I'll never forgive him.
In fact, I'll get angry. I'm that type of man.
And when I'm angry, I act!
Let's solve this by cooperating.
He didn't accept the $20,000 you sent.
I put it in escrow and filed a writ.
It's still yours.
About your claim that he damaged Club Scarab...
and assaulted its employee Akemi...
He does not recall any of it, so I'm afraid you must file a suit.
We'll see you in court.
But I don't want to go to court.
I want to see him.
For what reason?
To get my money back.
Do you think you lawyers...
can always protect him?
The police can.
Fuck you!
I'll get my money, police or no police.
Try to stop me!
I request that you do not see him.
I'll go to his house.
If you do, I will involve the police.
We don't care, bitch!
Go ahead.
You're in the wrong. Look at how badly he wrecked this place.
I believe the owner is Mr. Kuronuma of the Black Swamp Gang.
Yeah.
So if Kobayashi pays you, the money goes to him?
So I'll call Mr. Kuronuma.
Wait a minute.
You're going to call the Boss of the Black Swamp?
Of course.
It's his club.
Wait a minute.
Our profession has its own proprieties.
If you call him it could cause difficulties.
That's your problem.
Ms. Inoue.
Yes.
You've got as much guts as we do.
I'm honored.
Say, Mr. Iriuchijima.
I appreciated your compliment, but...
I still think it would be wise for both of us to drop this matter.
If you are willing to forget everything...
I won't involve Boss Kuronuma.
You win.
It's forgotten.
God, I was nervous.
What if they had filed a suit?
They would have had to submit evidence.
And prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did those things.
And they can't.
So that's why you were claim.
Today, I told myself not to be scared.
And?
And I wasn't.
I wasn't either.
They used to terrify me.
Today, I was calm enough to admire their art of shouting.
I learned a lot today.
I can't wait for the next confrontation.
Can I handle it?
No. it's my turn next.
This arrived.
I got an appointment with Kobayashi.
I'm Iriuchijima.
Certainly, sir.
Is the General Manager in?
He's at the construction site?
Someone to see you.
I wanted to talk man-to-man.
You got a bad attitude.
It was a dangerous thing you did involving that lady lawyer.
My boys do terrible things when they get mad.
You shouldn't hang around places like this.
A big steel beam could drop on you.
Or you could get accidentally knocked over the edge.
You saw what I sent?
I'm stuck with a huge inventory of the same stuff.
You want to buy it?
How much?
Ten million.
Ten million dollars!
That's ridiculous.
Not for the hotel.
Don't play stupid.
It... it's impossible.
The board would never...
Is this going to be the new wing?
Yes.
What's it costing?
$200 million.
You're behind schedule, I hear.
Yes.
All right. I'm leaving for now.
I'm going to make it easy for you to get ten million from the board.
How did it go?
He's scared. One more push should do.
We got to give them a good excuse for approving ten million.
What excuse?
Anything.
How about organizing a protest against their construction?
Leave that to me.
I'm a local resident. I'll do that myself.
Stop this construction.
Or you'll be sorry.
You need our approval for construction.
We can ruin you.
Do it while you still can!
As I was saying...
If you don't, we'll make you.
Say something, huh!
Let's all calm down.
Wakasugi.
You know how much you're polluting?
Got any idea?
What are you talking about?
There's the noise.
And vibration and dust.
Mud on the roads.
Toxic chemicals.
Do you have proof?
We got photographs.
And pictures don't lie.
See?
This shows dump trucks soiling the road.
They're great pictures.
The tires are making the road a muddy mess.
You got to stop it.
What will you do?
It looks like our vehicles in those pictures.
We'll investigate.
That's no fucking answer.
We'll tell the government.
They will make you stop.
You want that?
Say something, asshole!
Answer me.
Speak up!
Thank you for your concern.
We appreciate learning your opinions.
What?
That's no answer.
What kind of attitude is that?
We will be more careful.
We'll contact the government ourselves and...
Do whatever they say is necessary.
We thank you.
What the fuck is this? This ain't fair.
If you continue your construction...
We'll be watching everything for the smallest infraction.
Got that?
You're being unfair.
You yakuza claim to help the weak.
So, stop troubling the weak.
What the fuck?
You're the ones troubling us!
Don't shift the blame.
It ain't right.
It ain't fucking right, at all.
May I remind you...
We're recording this.
What?
Hold it.
Is that a camera?
Yes.
You got microphones in here, too?
Let's go.
Sorry to bother you. We'll be in touch.
We did it!
We chased them away!
But why did they go so easily?
They have something in mind.
Something devilish.
Ladies and gentlemen staying at the Hotel Europa!
Did you know that you are being spied upon?
The Hotel Europa employees are watching your every move...
through hidden cameras and microphones!
It may look like a first-class hotel.
But it's run by Peeping Toms.
The new wing that they are constructing...
in an environmental nightmare.
It is polluting our drinking water and creating lung-destroying dust.
Vibrations are causing miscarriages. Our health is being ruined.
The Hotel Europa is a diabolical menace to society!
The Hotel Europa must be stopped from polluting the city!
Stop your spying! Stop your unethical conduct.
I'm very sorry.
We have asked the police to stop them.
The noise gave your baby a fit?
We'll get you a doctor.
I'm very sorry, sir.
This spying things is absolutely unfounded and...
We want the boss!
Please talk to me.
We want the General Manager!
You need an appointment.
We don't need one.
It's about your pollution.
It's his duty.
The General Manager sees no one without an appointment.
What?
He won't talk to local residents?
Cut the crap!
Say something!
There he is!
Hey you!
Stop!
Stop, you scumbag!
We want to talk.
The bride and groom will now cut their wedding cake.
Darling! What is going on?
What...
What are you doing here?
Naoko!
They're harassing your family too.
Look at this! What it this all about?
It was sent by courier! What's happening?
Darling, what happened? What have you done?
We've been getting strange phone calls and...
Naoko was followed by a man.
This was thrown in our garden.
Meatballs with razor blade inside.
The dog didn't get it, thank god. But it's driving me crazy.
And those awful trucks.
You've been cheating on me, too.
All this is just yakuza harassment.
Your husband is a victim. Please trust him.
We'll stop them. Don't worry.
Come, fix your makeup.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
There's something else.
Thank you for confiding in me.
You must have suffered badly.
Will you help me fight them?
That's my job.
This is now a war and my generalship is not good enough.
I'm asking the Chairman for orders.
Oh!
The grandpa!
He's the Chairman.
Goodness, excuse me.
You hired me?
I made the arrangements for you to help us.
I fell in love with your courage.
I made a good choice.
Thanks to you, hosting a summit is now possible.
We need advice about a new problem.
I was careless and they are trying to blackmail me.
I apologize.
Should I fight them on this?
Let me say something before you answer.
Those photos are fake.
He met with them alone and fell into a trap.
He is innocent of everything but an honest mistake.
Thank you.
What should we do?
What happens if we don't fight?
We pay them $10 million.
I believe in your innocence.
But we can't pay ten million just to save your reputation.
If we don't, we face a huge scandal.
Our General Manager sexually assaulting a minor...
I'm sorry, but the public is all too ready to believe dirt like that.
If those photos get out, we're ruined.
We'll never host a summit.
They will never be distributed.
Why not?
Photos are like hostages.
You don't release hostages before getting a ransom.
Don't pay anything.
Money might solve this problem.
But tomorrow the hotel would be filled with yakuza.
And new troubles would start.
Do you want that?
We should stand up to the yakuza from now on.
If they discover we will stand up to them...
They will just fade away.
And we're almost there.
Let's keeping trying.
Continue to stand firm.
Don't yield.
Don't pay another cent.
As the board, you should make this official policy.
Please!
What do you think?
I agree with Ms. Inoue.
Let us fight to the finish.
If it doesn't work, you can fire me.
Please let us fight.
I feel the same way.
Let us fight. Please!
If we fail and the scandal is about to surface...
Fire me and place the blame on me to save the hotel.
I'll leave my resignation with you.
All right. Go ahead.
Thank you, sir!
What the hell!
The yakuza taught you to be skilled negotiators.
Ladies and gentlemen, yakuza are attempting to extort money from us.
They think that proper citizens are soft and easy to scare.
Well, we're not!
We will not pay a single cent to them. We have no reason to.
If they want to kill somebody, they can kill me.
This hotel is my child and I will die to protect it.
This hotel is my life.
I intend to leave it in better shape than it was when I started it.
I may be 82, but I want to tell you filthy rogues...
I'm not senile and I'm not afraid.
I will never compromise this hotel or its reputation.
When yakuza visit, we take them to this room.
Since they only use vaguely threatening words and gestures...
we record everything for use in court.
This room is wired for both sounds and pictures.
What they mean by 'spying' is...
the cameras and microphones in this room.
What do you call this room?
The VIP Room.
Where to?
To court.
To stop the noise.
Can we do that?
I'll apply for an injunction.
What's that?
A preventive order.
In our case, preventing them from contacting us.
And using speakers to slander us.
And threatening us.
And obstructing business.
Will they do it?
Our recording will help.
Fellow residents, please listen to us.
Lawyer Inoue, did you know...
somebody wants to kill you?
You should be very careful.
Stop taking those fucking pictures.
Get out of here, you scumbag!
It's pretty awful.
I understand your situation.
I sympathize with you, but before issuing an injunction...
We must summon the other party...
To hear their position.
But this is extremely urgent.
The situation is worsening.
Customers are leaving.
It's a question of survival.
The other party is a yakuza.
Call them on the phone.
Yes, sir.
We're fighting a mighty battle...
for the good of our community.
We got no time for any judge.
Our problem is with the hotel, Not with any court.
Make a memo of that call for the record.
Yes, sir.
I've decided.
I'll issue your injunction.
Thanks, Your Honor.
It's just a piece of paper.
They don't believe in paper.
They'll ignore it.
That's fine, too. You'll see.
I'm Ms. Inoue.
I'm the summons server.
They're yakuza, so I asked for police help.
These are detective.
Hello.
That's it.
I'm from the court. Open up.
They think if they don't answer, the injunction will vanish.
I know you're there!
Open up!
If you don't, we'll break in!
Take it easy.
I hereby officially serve this injunction.
Thanks so much.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
Hey, wait.
Hey, Wakasugi, I want to talk to you.
Come with me.
I'm the hotel's lawyer.
You may not speak to hotel employees.
You must go through me.
What?
Why the fuck do that?
Hey, Wakasugi, did you hire this fucking lawyer?
You trying to bust our balls?
Answer, punk!
You better apologize while you still can.
Our boys are hotheaded. Look at this one.
He doesn't mind doing time for me.
Don't!
Let me speak.
You're angry because you can't handle a lawyer.
Well, too bad.
We already reported...
your complaints to the government.
If they fine us we'll pay them.
We'll never pay you.
If you come to our hotel...
you'll come in a herd, right?
Like the herd of steers you are.
Hold it!
Wakasugi, you made me lose face.
We will meet again.
So that's the situation.
Now I understand.
Even through we got an injunction...
They'll ignore it and still barge in.
And then we can act.
Right?
Let us know when they violate the injunction.
We're ready to pounce.
Thanks so much.
Now I see.
You got the injunction so the police can act.
It should also keep them away from us.
Is it over?
Let's hope so.
I've always wanted to ask...
Why aren't you afraid of yakuza?
Well...
Probably because I know them.
My father was a surgeon downtown.
Yakuza missing fingers or with stab wounds often came to our clinic.
One big boss even used to carry me piggyback.
One day he staggered in, covered with blood.
Some family had shot him.
The shooters barged in and demanded...
my father give his patient up.
Some carried swords or pistols.
My father refused.
He wouldn't surrender.
So, they shot him.
They took the boss to the beach.
They buried him alive in the sand. Headfirst.
And your father?
An ambulance came.
But he was already dying.
I was bawling.
But he said:
Everybody dies sometime.
And it's better to die for your beliefs than...
Live as a coward. remember that always.
After he said that, he raised his hand...
Like this...
And died.
Few people are as strong as he was.
Most people fear yakuza.
They're afraid to look at them, let alone fight.
Yakuza trample people's pride.
They humiliate them.
I find that unforgivable.
They use fear...
To make people live like cowards.
Watch out!
Hang on!
I'll call an unbalance.
I'll get you next, Wakasugi!
Will she make it?
It missed the artery, but it's still critical.
If an infection doesn't set in...
We'll know by later today or tomorrow.
She got stabbed protecting me.
Because I tried to provoke them.
It's all my fault. It's all my fault...
Suzuki speaking.
They came back?
Yes, right away.
They're at the hotel.
Let's go!
Detective Akechi?
You can act at last. They violated the injunction.
Right. How many?
Ibagi, Iriuchijima, and seven others.
Got it.
Let's go.
Do you want back-up?
No. Just ourselves.
I'll come too.
But, sir...
You act tough. I'll act weak.
Maybe we can trick them.
The court has forbidden you to contact us.
It is illegal for you to enter this building or speak to us.
We have nothing to discuss with you.
Please leave.
We're local residents!
And we local residents aren't satisfied.
One phone call and I'll have 2,000 men here.
And 20 trucks.
We can still stop the construction.
You got that?
So stop fucking around!
Got that?
I must remind you...
Everything you say or do is being recorded.
What the fuck!
Who said you can record this?
Take it easy.
Our justice will prevail.
It's much nicer without that lawyer cunt.
Is she sick?
So what's your answer?
Answer to what?
To the construction question.
Which construction question?
Our request to stop it.
You never got our approval.
You're insulting us!
Say something, huh!
Show your good faith!
Have they mentioned money?
No, not yet.
When they demand money, we bust them.
Yes, sir.
Easy. Calm down.
Look, Mr. Suzuki.
This is a tough neighborhood.
You can't get the residents' approval.
So leave it to us pros.
We'll settle everything for you.
Answer him! Say something!
What exactly are you saying?
Are you retarded? Or just playing dumb?
I really don't understand.
What must we do to prove our 'good faith' to you?
Fuck!
Figure it out yourself.
I'm sorry. I still can't figure it out.
Since the board must approve, your requests must be specific.
Does 'good faith' mean money?
We just want you to be reasonable.
What do you mean by 'reasonable'?
By answering the complaints of residents.
Will that involve paying the residents money?
Should we pay you?
How much are you asking for?
I must give the board an exact figure.
I'm talking to myself, understand?
Other companies usually pay about zero-point-zero-five.
Does that mean five percent?
But five percent of what?
You stupid fucker!
Of your $200 million construction cost.
There! He mentioned an amount!
Can we bust them?
That's $10 million, isn't it?
There's no reason to pay you anything.
The court can decide.
This is our final decision.
You may go.
Fuck the court!
We're the victims of your pollution!
You know that?
Are you going to take your victims to court?
Don't act innocent!
Now that's an obvious threat.
Hey, hold it!
Hold it.
Say, Mr. Kobayashi.
You're not going to be unreasonable like them, are you?
What do you mean?
You know what happens if you let us down.
I'm afraid so.
Then what's your answer?
If we pay you, will you promise to give me the pictures?
Sure, I will.
And if we refuse?
I'll distribute them.
The scandal might force your hotel to close.
You'll be fired.
If that's what you want...
You fool!
You just admitted to blackmail!
We arrest you for extortion!
Where's your warrant?
Show me the warrant!
We caught you red-handed.
Ibagi!
Hey!
One of your boys stabbed Ms. Inoue.
We caught him and he confessed you ordered it.
You're an accomplice.
You'll get 20 years.
Welcome back.
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
Don't strain yourself.
Really, I'm fine.
Goodness!
They're completely disappeared.
Even their smell is gone.
Do you miss it?
Yakuza are coming.
With their bosses.
There's at least 20 of them.
Let's get ready.
Get out of our way!
Who the fuck are you?
An employee of this hotel.
What the fuck!
Out of our way!
In accordance with our regulations...
Members of your profession may not use our facilities.
But if you come alone and act discreetly...
You may use them.
However, we will not allow...
you to enter accompanied so brazenly by this many others...
who are so obviously members of your profession.
We host important government officials from abroad and...
have been ordered by the government to maintain...
a certain image and atmosphere.
I mean no disrespect. I am only asking for your understanding.
We cannot let you enter our premises today.
Shut the fuck up!
Don't fuck with us.
We did it!
