Go, quickly!
Perhaps... I should have killed him!
Auntie Hao, the doctor is here
Quickly... come in
The doctor is here
This is unacceptable!
We should go and teach Gao a lesson!
Yes, we should chop off his hands!
And scoop out his brains! Right?
Chop them up
Let's go!
Hey, what are you doing?
You think he's stupid enough to sit and wait for us?
Aren't we going to pay him back?
You like talking about it?
If you want, just do it, don't talk about it!
Don't be impulsive, calm down
Let's think this through!
What do we do?
Jie, what do you want? Water?
I want my hand
Give me my hand...
I know you and Eguchi are tight
I know he'll come tonight
Togawa-san
Is the head of Togawa-gumi in agreement?
Eguchi-san has been good to me
Gao-san, I represent my father today
You won't be disappointed
You mean, the offer...
...is something I can't refuse?
My father said...
if you kill Eguchi
He will give you Kabuki-cho
On opening night
Did you see Eguchi's wife?
Yes, she's quite pretty
She's... Yuko, right?
Her name is Xiu Xiu
She used to work as a hostess
She looks very Japanese!
Boss, we're really going to do it?
I've wanted to for a long time
Had I not played hard to get...
that wily Togawa would not have agreed to my terms!
Ask the Japanese staff to go home
Then get the place ready
Eguchi-san is here
Welcome Thank you
Business has been good this month
Especially at shop 2
It's up 20 percent from last month
See here
Faster than I expected
Yes
It should do even better next month
Yes
Grab him!
Sorry, boss!
I don't really want to kill you!
Kill!
Run!
Kill him! Kill him!
Run!
Not here! Go!
I... have seen you before
Thank you
They're back... Step aside!
Deputy chairman
I apologise for your fright!
Darling
Are you all right?
I'm fine
Your old friend saved me
I'm going to change, please attend to him
Are you hurt?
No, it's nothing
Mum, is he your friend?
This is my daughter, Ayako
Were you bitten by a mosquito?
She looks like you
Steelhead
Don't think badly of me
Don't be silly
I was just a little worried
Now I feel better
You're doing all right
I am now called Eguchi Yuko
Don't worry, I understand
Ayako, come here
Thank him for me
He says thank you
Tell him that before Gao tried to kill him
A young man named Togawa came to see him
Before you arrived at the bar
A man called Togawa was there
Ask him what he's doing now?
He wants to know what you are doing now?
Just crappy jobs
Just small jobs here and there
If he is willing to help me
I will pay him well
However much he wants
He asks
If you'll work for him
He can pay you well
However much you want
Please tell him, it's all right
Please thank him
Go home and see your mother if you can
She cries every time she thinks of you
Can you believe the irony?
Your ex saves your husband's life
I'm sorry
Branch leader Togawa Taro
actually asked an outsider to kill his sub-head
If we don't expel him
there will be unrest
Where's your proof?
If you slander my father again, I'll kill you!
What do you intend to do?
Shut up!
Any more and you will leave!
Sanwa-kai's secret of survival...
...is unity!
Whoever brings up the word "expel" again...
won't get away with it
Eguchi
I can't see why Togawa would want to kill you
Do you?
Eguchi has been eyeing Kansai
That's why I think the Osaka faction did it
Give me a little time to investigate
Go bow to Togawa-gumi's leader
Wipe out the past
Let's make a peaceful new start
Steelhead, how's he doing?
Fever's not gone?
No, a bit delirious
Maybe he's having nightmares
Steelhead
A Japanese guy to see you
This reminds me of home when I was a kid
Please sit down
Is this your girlfriend?
I'm Lily
You are very fluent
Would you translate please?
He wants me to translate
There's no need
I want you to get rid of two guys for me
Why me?
I can't use my own men
Who are these two men?
One is the head of Togawa-gumi
The other is the head of Sanwa-kai, Muranishi
OK, I'll do it
But you have to agree to all my terms
Firstly
You need to get me legal status in Japan
Then, you'll give me the Taiwan gang's territories!
We not only have the same tastes
We also work the same way
Togawa-gumi is crazy!
We can't sit around and do nothing!
I'm going to kill you!
Maruyama is dead!
Attack with full force!
Go!
Recent attacks in Shinjuku...
have been classified critical
Ordinary citizens are in danger
Togawa!
To prevent things from going out of control
The area commanders will take control
Organised Crime Division
Eguchi Toshinari, head of the Eguchi clan,
His follower Nakajima Hiromasa
And the late Muranishi Koichi...
were close...
That guy Tanaka... isn't he a political bigwig?
What are they doing?
Black gold politics has existed forever
Don't be naive
Gangs, yakuza, showbiz
You can't separate one from the other these days
It's called capitalism
The dead have no more value
But the riches in this world still do
Vengeance must be resolved
In-fighting must cease
Eguchi...
...is hereby appointed head of Sanwa-kai
Togawa Taro is dead
Kyohei is Togawa Taro's heir
He'll handle the same territories
I've asked two friends to be witnesses
Any opposition?
Tanaka-san is elderly
Don't give him cause for worry
You'll follow his orders, right?
We will watch over you
You catch my drift?
Kitano-san, they're coming over
Why is he beside Eguchi?
Kabuki-cho's merchant list
Give Shinjuku territories to Steelhead
Boss, that's not right
How can I explain it to our men?
The Chinese cannot be trusted!
He saved my life
What's wrong with giving Gao's territory to him?
Letting the Chinese control the Chinese might work
More importantly
he will draw Togawa arrows like a bull�s eye
But, boss...
Enough, just do as I say
I can't go against the boss' orders
But I want you to know
I, Nakajima Hiromasa, despise you people!
Brothers, onward to Shinjuku!
May wealth pour in
Brother Steelhead, congratulations
We old immigrants will count on you from now
Come... come... come...
Let's have a drink, thanks...
Steelhead-san
This gift is from the head of Eguchi clan
He wishes you prosperous business
Thank you
Here, take this inside
Is this protection fee?
This stops from next month
But it's the tradition
Yes, yes!
It's unfair to you all
We've all crossed the seas to get here
Making it alive wasn't easy
We should work together
How can I take advantage of my own people?
Besides
In future, when my brothers do business in Kabuki-cho
Running a noodle shop or Chinese restaurant
They will still need your help
Then...
What happens when there's trouble?
What trouble?
There are lots of drunken louts here
Can't you call the cops?
No, they're always gang members
Our licenses will be affected if there's trouble
True? Right?
Brother, Kabuki-cho lives by one law in the day
And another by night
If you don't take this money
It will incite more fights when others find out
I'll take it for now
We'll treat it as a loan
When I make a profit, I will return it
No... no need to return
You have your work cut out for you
For instance, improve the safety here
And don't let the young ones sell drugs
Thank you, big brother
Thank you... We'll take our leave
See you...
Thank you, big brother... Thank you
Jie
You've finally made it
I hope you can forget the past
Jie... Jie, what are you doing? Let go...
Jie... Jie, let go!
How could you?
Let's go... let's go
Go quickly... Jie... Jie...
Don't push me! Are you on his side or mine?
Steelhead...
Hey Jie, what are you doing?
What? You want to hit me?
Calm down
30 percent is Fate, the rest is a battle
You can only win if you love a good fight
Come... bottom's up
The old wine from home is still best
Ganbei! Steelhead
We wouldn't be here without you
What are you saying!
Don't fight, let's drink to Steelhead!
Steelhead, to you!
We have achieved some results today
But we all know in our hearts
This was achieved through illegal means
We can't do that in the long-term
I opened this Kabushiki Gaisha
Because I wanted us to have a legal business
To run an entertainment club on the lowest rent
A licensed one, not illegal
And, to grab the control of the Taiwan gang
So that we can protect ourselves
We hear you, Steelhead
We'll follow your lead
We have all suffered
That's why I want to set aside some money
To help those who have just arrived. Help them find jobs
I want this responsibility to go to...
How about to Jie?
Everyone OK?
Good!
Then I would like to do something that interests me
In future, the business here will go to...
...it's yours, Hong Kong Boy
I'm not sure if I can
You'll have Tai Bo and Hu, they have experience
Try it out
Remember, be united!
Jie, any problems?
Thank you
Thank you, everyone
A toast to Steelhead, cheers!
Come... come, drink
Steelhead
We're tired, we're going to go
OK, go on then
Congratulations, you finally made it
What do you mean?
I want to see if you are illegal
So you finally got it
You owe me one
I let you go once, the debt is paid
Just once? That's worth a life?
Half the debt then?
OK, half!
I hope you can be a good man
Because I don't want to...
come after you one day
That'd be just great!
One, two, three
You have more grey hair
I'm forty something!
Finding me old?
In your heart
What's the most important thing in life?
That's a loaded question
Man's most original wants...
were for food and shelter
But when we see what we don't have...
our desires grow
Xiu Xiu, what are you looking at? Why so many people?
Look... there's a fridge, and a color TV
Go back Let's just take a look
You'll break the windows! Go home!
Let's go... don't look, it's no big deal
Look at her! Let's go... come on
I want to find a job out there one day
Don't go, you'll never come back
Why do you say that?
Because the city is vibrant
It's colorful, and different from here
If you go, you won't want to return
You're wrong Are you sure?
You're wrong I'm dead right
Since becoming a wife and mother
I know what I value in life
You have to learn to be content
When people have been oppressed...
...or when they have certain demands
When they have established a force
That force evolves into power
Mobs have historically been formed like this
Unfortunately, power changes people
From passive and tolerant, they begin to get aggressive
They lose control of themselves
More than 1.5m foreigners living in Japan
What a broken and dirty place!
How can anyone live here?
What are you saying? I used to live here!
It's smelly!
Wasn't this cooked by my mother?
She's been dead so many years, and it's still here!
Damn it
Where's that bastard Tai Bo?
Here, here
Why's the place so run down?
Stop shouting
We're businessmen now
Cut the crap! Where's the stuff?
Come, have a look
500 pills
One kilo, the money?
You only deliver once a week
How am I going to make money?
Cops have been clamping down, there's not enough goods
Just add some ketamine, you'll be high in no time
Shizuko, I just bought a convertible
I want to take you for a spin
I'm busy
Is it because of this?
I've already gone for laser treatments
It will disappear soon
I guarantee it will disappear!
What's going on?
It's... a friend
Friend? When did I become a friend?
If we're friends, how come you can't even look at me?
What's your problem?
What are you looking at?
It's very cute
Stop, don't hit him!
What?
What's up?
Don't aggravate him
Go in for a drink, OK?
Let's all go in!
What are you guys up to?
How can you let foreigners trample all over your turf?
Eguchi brought them in
Why didn't you question Eguchi?
He's the boss. I have no such right
Eguchi, let me ask you something
Master, what's the matter?
Who are those Chinese people?
It's better if they take care of certain things
It's OK to use them
But you can't let them build up power
They're just our chess pieces
It's OK to have chess pieces
You can't let your own people suffer
I will be honest with you
That's my plan exactly
I want to use them to take care of Kyohei
Master
I think Sanwa-kai needs to re-organise
About that...
Let's talk later
Don't be too conspicuous, understand?
Definitely, sorry to trouble you!
Damn it!
Ruled by ambition
Time to let him go
Can you do it?
Come in!
Kitano-san
Have some tea
Very fragrant
It's the best oolong tea
Hard to believe that
So much success in so short a time
It's just a small business
This is not small
Roppongi, Aoyama and Shibuya, all yours now
It's not small!
These are papers on Toka Shouji Trading Company
Police already ID-ed you as Katou-gumi
The biggest foreign gang in Japan
You must be mistaken
You even dare sell drugs
If you have proof, arrest me
What are you trying to say?
Your men must be hiding things from you
Secretly working with Eguchi
Who's working with Eguchi?
It's your buddy Jie
If it is him, I will stop him
Don't delay
But I have a request
You're in no position to ask
Don't arrest my people
Impossible! Cops arrest crooks, that's the game
But...
If you find evidence incriminating Eguchi
I can help with certain things
Steelhead
I've wanted to ask you
Muranishi Koichi, Togawa Taro
Did you kill them?
You speak out of turn!
Steelhead, ignore him
No matter what, I need time
Steelhead
I have repaid my debt in full
Big brother
Where's Hong Kong Boy?
He's just gone out, back soon
My number will win
I've won! You lucky bastard
There are guests here, keep it down
He told you to pipe down
He's talking to you
What are you saying? Shut up
You looking for trouble?
Where are you from?
We're Katou-gumi
Let me teach you a lesson
Punch him!
Let go... let go!
Let go! Do you want to die?
You dare hit big brother?
Do you know who he is? Brother Steelhead!
Are you OK?
Who are they?
Jie's followers
They just arrived, they're ignorant
It's a mess
You again? Goldie!
Is that you? Always making trouble!
Apologise! Apologise now!
Sorry, big brother!
Go! Run!
How did Eguchi look for Jie?
He has a lot of men
You told him to take care of the new ones
Are we a triad gang now?
It's for survival, don't interfere
When I came over
Most of the people got caught
You were lucky
Perhaps
Steelhead
Why don't we leave Japan?
To go where?
I have a good friend in Brazil
What language do they speak there?
I think it's Portuguese
What can I do there?
Something that lets you sleep at night
I can't leave them behind
Don't be naive
Life is one big mistake
How many can you help? Or save?
You can't do anything
Why have you called me here?
I don't look after domestic disturbances!
As long as you don't arrest my people
I will turn evidence against Eguchi
Eguchi asked me to kill Muranishi and Togawa
Steelhead... what are you doing?
Have you gone mad? Are they worth it?
Are they worth this?
It's all lies
Pay him no heed
He's only trying to save his brothers
He's lying to you!
He's lying!
What are you trying to do?
Do you want Eguchi go to jail
So Xiu Xiu will come back to you?
Have you ever considered my feelings?
You are so selfish!
Steelhead
Let's just leave, OK?
Lily, I can't live in regret
Who do you live for?
Your brothers?
Your ex-girlfriend?
Or for me?
She seems to have fallen for you
If I were her
I'd kill you
Gao, if you want back Kabuki-cho
You'll have to rely on yourself
Yes!
Kill Kyohei and Tanaka for me
What do I get?
All the Chinese territories go to you
Eguchi-san
Your men have all betrayed you
Now is the time for us to use the Bushido way
To get rid of the Chinese pigs!
Aren't we here for war? What are we waiting for?
Shut up and sit down and eat
They're talking upstairs
What if they don't listen to you?
Then send them all back to China
They have legal documents
Let's play it by ear!
Aren't you afraid I'll run?
It's a lifelong job going after guys like you
Steelhead
What are you doing?
Isn't he a cop?
The cops know you are a criminal outfit
What's this you and us stuff?
Aren't we one family?
Chairman Eguchi
I was just looking for you!
Why are you in cahoots with him?
Be clear in what you say
You worked with him first. What about you?
When did you join the cops?
How could you deal drugs?
Don't just pick on me
Could I have done all this alone?
All of you are in this?
No... not me
They said they wanted to
If you did it, then own up!
Hey, you didn't want to run things
You just upped and left
Now, you lecture us?
Can you hear yourself?
Stop squabbling
Ingrate! Don't talk to me!
Tai Bo... Stop quarrelling
Lao Gwei! Why are you speaking for him?
We're only making some money, what's the big deal?
We didn't sell to the Chinese
Steelhead
Since we all agreed to it
Keep out of it
The cops want to catch someone, who?
Me!
What have you turned into?
Especially you. Look at you!
You look like a ghost, you know that?
Ghost?
If there is one, you let it out
You're the real ghost!
Wake up!
Steelhead, you've done all you can
Leave it for now
You can't leave!
Don't let them leave Get away...
You can't leave... Get away!
You know the repercussions of attacking a cop?
We're family, stop fighting
Are you crazy?
You treat the cops as family?
If you follow him, it's a dead end!
You are the one heading for a dead end
You've forgotten you killed someone?
I killed
I did it for you!
Stop bullshitting!
You killed the border guard so you could see your woman
You killed the yakuza because you wanted legal status
For the money, for yourself!
So what if I did? Didn't you get something too?
Didn't all of you get something?
All you have today, who fought for it?
Without me, where would you be?
You really want to talk like that?
When you first came to Japan
Who looked out for you?
Without me, you'd be eating turd!
Didn't I risk my life too?
Steelhead, you're wrong to say that
What? Want to take me on?
The matter wouldn't end there
The Japanese won't let you go
He won't let the Chinese take power
He'll destroy you sooner or later!
Kitano-san has already said
he only wants Eguchi
If you stop your activities
He'll let you go
Don't fall for it
If I fall, you all fall
Get them!
Don't move!
Kitano-san
Get away!
Wait
Calm down, Steelhead
Go back with me
Jie
Just kill me
Jie
Shoot! Don't do this!
Jie
Go away
Have you gone mad?
A knife? This is not child's play
We can talk about anything
And come to an agreement
Chinese don't fight Chinese...
Breaking my winning streak
You want my life?
What do you expect from me?
Go up!
Come!
Hong Kong Boy
Check on Lao Gwei, hurry. Help him
Let's get upstairs
Jie, no
Jie
Don't leave. You're all dead!
Hey, come out!
Go up!
Go!
Steelhead
Get away!
Don't... don't...
Go
Fang, help!
Jie, run
Run, run!
No, Eguchi
Eguchi
Kobayashi, it's me
Bring men down to Toka Shouji
Quickly!
I can't believe Nakajima sold me out
This is for you
All the information is in there
Your cop friend can get a promotion
I think... I could have gone out with a bigger bang
Eguchi
Nakajima, Eguchi is dead
He said, he'll come back as a ghost to haunt you
Give me the knife!
Don't let him go
Steelhead!
Dai!
Dai! Dai!
Go!
Steelhead, here
There are stairs outside
Kitano, are you OK?
Open fire if they resist, let's go!
Don't run!
Steelhead
It seems
I'm still a coward
Stop doing this, Jie!
Xiu Xiu, is that you?
What's happened?
Stay calm
Eguchi is dead
Quickly pack and find a safe hideaway
How about this?
Bring your daughter
To the Okubo station, I'll wait for you. Hurry!
Well?
Speak up!
Tell us!
You'll regret not talking
Your kid will die. Speak!
Ayako
Don't...
Ayako...
What happened?
The cops are here
Go to Okubo station now
Take care of Steelhead!
Where are you?
Okubo station
I'm on my way
Get me a car
Over there
There
Are you OK?
Don't shoot!
Nakajima!
Hold your fire
Stop, don't shoot!
Emergency! Officer down!
How many men are down?
Get an ambulance here...
Steelhead! Steelhead!
Steelhead!
Hang on!
Your lung must be punctured!
It's no use
I have repaid my debt
Steelhead!
We can call it even
What did you say?
Steelhead, what did you say?
30 percent is Fate
The rest is a battle
You can only win if you love a good fight
