OUTLAW: GANGSTER VIP
Don't cry.
Please, don't cry.
Don't cry. Please, don't cry.
Screenplay by Kaneo Ikegami and Reiji Kubota
I said, don't cry.
Wake up!
Doctor, please wake up!
DOCTOR JINSHU
Please, wake up!
My sister's going to die! Please, come!
You idiot! Wake up! Come out!
My sister's going to die!
Wake up! Wake up!
Damn it! I hope you die!
Momoko!
Hey! You little brat!
TOKYO JUVENILE DETENTION
Big brother!
Run! Get away from here!
Go.
Idiot! Run!
Directed by Toshio Masuda
Who's there?
It's me!
Oh, it's Suzuki.
Wait a second.
I'll open it.
Big news, brother!
The hitman for Ueno is looking for the Mizuhara boss.
What? Really?
Some thug told him where the boss is.
- Where? - That bar you like!
My darling!
Goro...
It's Goro.
Brother.
Since when were you affiliated with the Mizuhara?
Which means that you're with Ueno?
Our relationship is in the past.
We're not kids anymore.
If you don't move, I'll shoot.
I'm not moving.
You...
Chief...
You idiot.
You missed my vital organs.
Like this, I can't even die if I wanted to.
Goro.
Move back! Let us through!
Move.
Are you okay? It's me!
Can you hear me? It's me!
It's me!
My love!
I'll wait for you.
Okay?
I'll be waiting, okay?
You murderer!
Okay, let's go.
THREE YEARS LATER
1956
THE PLUM ORCHARD
What's the matter? What's wrong, Yukiko-san?
It was here when we were feeding the pigeons.
Oh, I shouldn't have let you hold it.
Maybe you forgot where it is? Look somewhere else!
Hey, let me take care of it.
Oh, no. I couldn't.
- Oh, you shouldn't... - It's nothing. Don't worry.
There.
C'mon. You can't come all this way and say you're going home.
Look, the five of us are taking the time to entertain you girls.
Keep that in mind, won't you?
Just hang outwith us. We won't ask you to do anything despicable.
- No! - Yoshiko-san!
Let me go! I'll scream! Let go!
Why don't you? As loud as you can. There's no one around here.
Don't you get it? I put up money in advance to hang outwith you.
What a disobedient broad.
Come on!
Hey, cut it out.
What are you talking about?
Me?
It's not about me.
What you guys are doing is shameful.
Oh, you're telling us what we should do?
I'm just saying this stuff is getting old.
- Hey, that isn't yours. - Stop messing with me.
That's my line.
That's my wallet.
So take it and get out of here.
From now on, watch where you wander.
There are some nasty people around.
Hey, you're really embarrassing us!
You don't know the Bazoku Five of the Ueno clan, do you?
- Come with us. - Come on.
Ueno clan? No wonder you guys are crooked.
Get out of here. There's going to be blood.
Yukiko, hurry! Hurry!
Go!
Wait!
Chief.
Idiots. Don't you know who he is?
It's been a while.
Goro. It's good to see you again.
When did you get out?
Kenka.
Things haven't changed. The bosses still keep thugs like them around.
Cut it out while you're still alive.
Let me tell you, a lot has changed in 3 years.
Unlike the Mizuhara clan, who are moving down,
the Ueno clan is now a major organization.
You won't be let off so easily if you're not careful.
Is that all?
For a jailbird? Yeah, Goro, that's all.
Thanks.
I have no intention of living in a filthy place like this.
Right.
Too bad. But for your sake, it's probably for the best.
- Take care, then. - Sure thing.
It would be best for both of us if we never see each other again.
- Thank you very much. - You fool.
Yakuza business doesn't concern people like you.
When I tell you to leave, you get the hell out of here.
If I see you around yakuza, you'll regret it.
Come on, Yukiko, let's get out of here.
Later.
Damn, who is that guy?
Line up, all of you!
You idiots! You've undermined the boss's reputation!
MIZUHARA CLAN
Why didn't you contact me sooner?
If you just explain the circumstances of your debts,
we have ways of dealing with it.
Right, Matsu?
So what will you do now?
You need to think about your future.
Either you settle down here, or...
I need to settle my obligations and duties.
- I'll head out to Kansai... - No, you can't go to Kansai.
If I let you go, other clans will ridicule me.
Look,
if anything happens to you, Goro, the Mizuhara clan has your back.
I want everyone to know that.
Right.
Until now, we've been holding back,
but if anyone messes with us Mizuhara,
we won't let them get away with it, right?
If push comes to shove, we'll whip out our pistols and knives.
We won't let 'em touch us.
Quit your jabbering.
Oh, I know.
Take him out for some fun.
You guys seem pent up here.
Goro.
I don't have much on hand, but here's an allowance for the time being.
Take this.
- What's the matter? - Well...
If I accept this, it's another debt.
I can't bear it.
Thank you.
Considering that I just got out, there's not much I can do.
I've heard all sorts of things about you.
So much that I've even dreamed about it.
Hey, why don't you come to our apartment?
It's a mess, but hey, we can fix that.
Quit it, you've been blabbering too much.
I'm just happy.
Man, it's good to see women again.
It's too tempting.
Gotcha. Hey, why don't you find some broads so we can have a good time?
- Go do your thing. - Right.
Ladies, do you have a minute?
Don't just pass us and not say anything. Just give us a few minutes, huh?
We'll take you wherever you want.
Aw, forget it. It can't be just anyone like these cows here.
How rude!
Oh, sorry.
Don't bother with chaff like that.
Besides, there's somewhere I want to go.
Goro.
You haven't changed a bit, Mama-san.
- When did you get out? - Today.
Really. That's great.
Let's celebrate. On the house. Bottoms up. Over there too.
Thanks.
So how's she doing?
Sure.
I don't see her.
Goro...
Why such a scary face?
I've gotten enough lectures from monks. I don't need any more.
I...
Did something happen to Saeko?
I won't hold anything back, Goro.
She got married.
Her?
Don't tease me, I haven't been out in the free world long.
I'm anxious and excited. It's not good for the heart.
Mama...
When?
- With who and where? - I'll tell you.
I'll tell you, just let go of me.
He's just a normal office worker.
He's a serious and honest person.
He fell in love with Saeko.
He was after her for more than a year.
So finally, autumn of last year...
You're the one who did wrong,
with your duty to the yakuza or whatever.
You left her all alone.
She did nothing wrong.
Please...
Don't resent her.
That bitch.
I'll find and kill her.
Do I seem like a guy who gets attached?
Well, you're damn wrong.
Women are everywhere. I can get as many as I want.
I don't have time to resent some woman from 3 years ago.
Now that I'm out and free, I'll find some young thing.
- Let's go. - Oh, come on. So soon?
We just got here.
Mister, you can sure pack it in.
I'd rather be drowning my sorrows, but for now I'll eat them.
Funny guy, isn't he?
Hey, what's taking so long? Hurry up and give them another.
Yes.
You're the woman from earlier today.
Thank you for saving me earlier.
I didn't think you would be here.
- Do you know her? - Yeah.
- I need to talk to her. - Please do.
What happened?
Didn't you go home?
Where do you live?
In Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi?
That's really far.
I've left my home, to come work in Tokyo with my friend.
Your friend from earlier? What about her?
She went home. She said Tokyo was scary.
She just came along because she was worried about me.
So then...
The circumstances don't matter. It has nothing to do with me.
So why here?
Well, I thought I would be able to meet you here,
so afterwards I followed...
You followed me?
Man, I've really lost my edge.
It turned out, there was a help wanted ad for this restaurant.
Wait.
You seem like a good person. There's a limit to being irresponsible.
Besides, I'm...
You...
If I cause something bad to happen, you...
I'm just happy to be close to someone like you, Goro.
You're certainly friendly with all this "Goro."
Well, last time you said...
Fool. You really don't get it.
The free world is a dreadful place.
- But I understand you. - Fool!
I'm a dreadful guy.
There he is.
You've got a lot of nerve sitting around like that here.
Suzuki,
thank you for treating my boys so nicely last time.
And you're poking around in our territory too.
You want a piece?
He got the chief!
I just scratched him. Don't waste your time and get him to the hospital.
Goro.
Last time, you held them back for me. We're even now.
Ridicule us, will you?
We'd better leave.
Sorry. It was a fight that they provoked.
Please don't think badly of us.
You're still here?
I can't leave you here. I have no choice. Come with us.
Okay.
Thank you. It's sudden, but I'm quitting.
Forget about being polite. Come on, we're going.
I'll go get my luggage.
Whenever a girl runs away, there's a wedding involved.
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't be apologizing.
It's that older brother who's done wrong.
I don't know anything about being a parental figure.
But a real brother wouldn't push you into marriage
for the family's benefit.
- Is that what you think, Goro? - Whoa, hold on a minute.
Don't start sucking up now. I told you, it has nothing to do with me.
I'll figure out where you'll stay for tonight,
but you're on your own tomorrow.
Hey, what's going on with that apartment?
- It's right over there. - Chief, give us a minute.
- We didn't know you were staying tonight. - We'll be ready right away.
What a mess!
- This is no time to cry about it. - Quit it!
- You're the one... - You're so messy that...
Don't just sit there, clean up over there!
Grab the other end!
Sorry to keep you waiting. Please, come in.
Come in.
Takeo, what's taking so long?
I can't find any matches. Do you know where the lid is?
- What? - Oh, I can help.
Oh, no!
- It's okay. - No, no. Let her take care of it.
- Stop messing... - Just let her do it.
Chief, whatever you need, just ask us.
Please, relax.
So, we'll see you later.
- What happened to those two? - Fool.
They're being considerate for us.
Man, you're really clueless. Can't you see?
Chief's with a girl who has a tale to tell.
We need to leave them alone. It's common sense.
Okay, I get it. You don't have to rub it in.
Anyways, what are we going to do now?
Common sense tells me we've got nowhere to stay.
- Neither do I. - What? Chief!
What happened?
Chief, you don't have to worry about us.
We'll figure it out. Right?
That's right. That girl will worry if you leave her alone.
There's nothing going on with her.
After tonight, I'll make sure to get her out.
What a waste! To get her inside but...
Quit your complaining or I'll hit you.
I don't fool around with amateurs. That's not my style.
Sorry.
See? This oaf has no common sense.
Hey, watch it, you.
Well, now that we don't have a place for tonight, how about we go drink?
- Really? - Hey, let's go all out.
- Like, real big. - Yeah, crazy.
- Right, come with me. - Let's go.
Let' s go!
To be honest, I haven't been with a woman in 3 years.
I need one so bad!
Better to go with a professional.
- Let's go to the red light district. - Shimura!
Hey, hey, watch out there.
It's still open!
- Hey, chief. - What is it?
For sweet bean, sushi and chicken on skewers...
They've got fresh ingredients and good sauce. They're cheap too.
- Right? - Sure.
It seems all right. Okay, let's go.
Right.
Hey.
Welcome.
Kimiko! It's Takeo.
Okay.
Welcome. You're late today.
What, you guys come here every night?
Every night? More like three times a day.
He helps out when they open, he's a regular customer at night,
then he helps out when they close.
- That yokel there is getting skewered. - Ah.
Are we just the sauce?
Here, thanks for waiting.
Right, sauce...
What will you have?
It's late so all we have is liver and fried cartilage.
That's no good. Where's that stuff that's set aside for me?
Give that to the chief.
What's the matter?
I'm telling you to give the chief here my share.
- I can't do that. - Why?
I put that aside for you because you're skinny and need to be healthy.
There's no need to give it someone who's already so large.
Large?
I guess I did get bigger. What can I say?
Well, you're all yakuza, aren't you?
Yakuza are pretty pointless people.
We'd all be better off without you.
I hate them.
Kimi, my dear!
Don't kid yourself. I hate you too.
- I'm so sorry, chief. - You idiot.
How long has she had you whipped?
How can you stand there and take that from some ordinary woman?
Slap her.
I told you to slap her!
Okay.
I'm joking.
Go slap your own face with that hand.
Hmm, it is good. At least he's right about that.
Lady, thanks for the meal.
Make sure they're taken care of. Come on, let's go, Suzuki.
Let's leave them alone.
What?
Sorry.
Whatever.
Hey, you wanna hang out?
Come on.
Let's hang out.
My dear!
Hey, big brother.
Chief.
- Oops. My woman found me. - Any woman would be fine.
Let's go.
She's got a friend. Let's see if we like it.
So, what do you think of this one?
You...
I've decided. Let's go in.
So, chief, till tomorrow morning! Good luck!
What's the matter? Why don't you come in?
If you give me the money, you're a customer.
You shouldn't have to hold anything back.
Do you want to lie down now or do you want a bath?
There's no hurry.
I've already paid to stay the night.
Right.
Even if you're our boss's rival, a customer is a customer.
Whatever the case, a purchase has been made.
Well, I'll have my way with you tonight.
That being said, I have no intention of sleeping with you.
I want to have a nice, long conversation with you tonight.
How come you didn't tell me sooner?
You think we would let you off easy?
Freaked out by such pathetic bravado.
Go wallow in your weakness.
You didn't even settle the fight. How could you end up...
Boss,
this isn't their fault.
I'll settle my problems
by myself.
Just wait until then.
That's what's called being an imbecile.
While you lay there in bed, rumors are spreading like mad.
This affects our boss,
and the culprit is freely walking around.
Our clan's reputation is at stake!
- I found the bastard! - Where is he?
With a woman.
Boss, at least let us settle it.
You idiot.
Don't make trouble in our own territory. Wait until morning.
Get him when he goes home.
What are we going to do with Ken down like this?
You guys go after Tsujikawa.
Good evening.
Who is it?
It's me, Takeo.
Are you alone?
What? You think I'm up to something? Idiot.
Get in.
Just because we're brothers, why the hell would you just show up here?
We're in deep if we get caught.
That's for sure.
- You're the one that's done bad. - Why me?
Because
you're aware of the clan's code.
People have been trying to up-end the Mizuhara clan.
You were one of them.
Idiot.
You're in with the Mizuhara clan now,
but there's no future there.
You need to get off that sinking ship.
What do you mean by sinking ship?
- What do you mean? - You know!
Think about it.
After being abandoned, who looked after us grubby kids?
To avoid getting caught stealing,
we got chased by cops and all sorts of people.
I thought to myself,
there's no kindness in this world.
We have to survive by our own efforts.
Despite that,
now all you talk about is loyalty or mercy.
It's no surprise you got caught up with the Mizuhara clan.
Got caught up in their mess.
Since when did you become such an unaccomplished man?
Shut up! You're no different.
Bastard.
Hey, you want a drink? It was a gift.
Want it with water?
Oh, no. It would be a waste for liquor this good.
Man, that's good.
As always, your place is always kept so neat.
It needs something messy.
So? Why don't you get married soon?
I guess.
- Am I at that age now? - For sure.
I'm stuck behind you.
So you mean...
Well, maybe.
Really? That's great!
- Who is it? - It's me.
I've got news.
Dosuke got stabbed. It was one of Mizuhara's.
He's holed up in the red light district. We're gonna get him when he leaves.
The boss wants you to come down.
Right. I'll meet you there.
Right.
Brother, are you going to...
What are you doing?
- Ow! - Keep quiet.
Be patient. You didn't hear a thing.
Damn it!
I see.
Abashiri is really cold.
As kids, we didn't get to eat much.
What can you do when your heart weakens with that coldness?
Being with a sick man who's in prison, it must be really difficult.
I did everything that I could.
After all that, you end up like this.
Even if Sugiyama comes back,
I would be ashamed to see him.
Ueno knows, right?
I've gone to talk to him many times.
About you doing this?
That bastard.
Sugiyama did it for him.
But he made you do this.
He isn't human.
None of the yakuza are human.
You told me
and Sugiyama.
You said to us
that we were murderers.
For a long time,
those words haunted me in jail.
Even though we know you're yakuza, we still fall in love with you.
It's the women who are fools.
Well, reap what you sow.
When Sugiyama gets out,
take this and get him something nice to eat.
No, that's too much.
I want you to let me know.
Thank you.
- You're going? - Yeah.
- It's still cold outside. - I'm going to cool off my head.
It's getting late.
Miss, excuse us.
Where's Goro?
Where?
What's with you guys?
Goro left at sunrise. He wasn't into an old bag like me.
Hey.
What do you think you're going to do?
What do you want from me?
Take him. We'll draw out Goro with this guy.
Go!
Come on, now!
Yes?
- Where's the chief? - He's not back yet.
I see.
If he comes back, tell him to not move an inch from here.
- What happened to your hand? - I'm fine.
- I'll tend to it. - It's okay.
When he gets back, you tell him!
What's the matter? Why are you in hurry?
Chief! Where were you?
What do you mean? I was out for a walk.
It's Suzuki! Suzuki's been abducted!
- What? - They've got him.
I get it. They took him to get to me.
Whatever the case, let's tell the clan.
Hold on. Let me take care of this.
I'm the cause so it will end with me.
- Don't tell anyone. - But, chief!
You're not going to...
Don't worry. I'm out in the free world.
I've got friends and booze here. I've had enough of jail.
Welcome home.
What? You're still here?
You must be hungry. It might not be very good.
Don't worry about me.
As soon as you're done eating, you pack your things.
You get on a train immediately. You have money for a ticket, right?
I want to stay here.
- Let me stay. - Why?
Do you know what will happen if it's just the two of us?
I'm yakuza.
Don't be such a child!
I'm not being childish.
I want to be by your side.
I love you.
Do you know anything about yakuza?
The guy who steps out the door now,
could be stabbed and left in the gutter an hour later.
And his wife
wonders if he's going to be hunted down today
or killed tomorrow.
And they have to struggle with that all year round.
So last night,
I felt like that.
I understand that.
You're not really yakuza.
You are yakuza. But in your heart, you aren't yakuza.
You fool.
I think you misunderstand.
Look at this.
My sister who died at 7 years old.
We were alone, just the two of us.
She died without a single good thing in her life.
You look just like her.
I didn't come here because I'm concerned about you.
I'm certainly not into you.
To be frank, you're a nuisance.
Now that you get it, get out of here.
If you don't go, I'll bust you up.
I told you to go home.
I won't.
If you go, you'll die.
You're going to die, so you're telling me to go home.
I'm not going home.
If you die, I will die too.
You really want to see me dead?
I'll show you.
Go wait for me.
What?
Goro is here by himself?
So you're the Ueno boss.
What do you want?
I'm hereto apologize.
An apology?
I'm the one who stabbed your man.
Suzuki's got nothing to do with this. Let him go.
How interesting. I can consider an apology.
What kind of apology are you making?
I'll show you right now.
What's the matter?
Don't be so nervous.
I ask for your pardon with this.
Okay then. You've given me that. I'll give back Suzuki.
- Go get him. - Right.
Thank you.
Suzuki!
Hey, put him up on your shoulders and go home.
And don't forget you gave your little finger.
What's with that look?
You got something else on your mind?
Haru.
Ueno.
I'm taking your life.
Wait!
Boss! Boss!
Boss!
Come on!
Wait!
Keep going!
Kill him!
Goro.
This way, Goro.
You're saving me?
I'm going to be the one who'll finish you.
Now we're even. Hurry!
Chief!
He got away!
Go! Go after him, idiots!
Go!
Chief!
His wounds didn't get to his organs.
He'll be up and about in eight months.
I'll leave him in your hands.
If you need anything, contact the clan office.
MIZUHARA CLAN
Sorry I'm late. Goro is being taken care of.
You must be tired. Why don't you rest?
Well? Do you think we can win?
I was going to make an agreement with the Ueno clan,
but instead they started a fight.
So that's where I will go.
We'll need money.
Whatever the case, we have very little chance of winning.
I need you to go to the head boss of the Jingu clan.
Boss, you're going to strike a deal?
I'm not going to let one person
take down a relationship we've had for years.
I can't say it's equal.
I'll endure even a six to four deal.
Don't get scared.
Takeo.
Move, Takeo!
You're not my brother.
Come on!
Damn! It's too late.
Listen! Listen to me!
Jingu is presiding over this fight!
Takeo, let's stop.
Shut up! Die!
Kill me! Kill me!
I can't fight a chump like you.
Go lay in some mud!
Watch out, chief!
Brother!
Listen! Listen to me! Jingu clan is now presiding over this fight!
Takeo“.
Brother!
Brother! Brother!
Brother! Brother, brother, brother!
Brother! Brother! Brother!
Come in.
How did you find me?
In the newspaper,
I saw
your name.
You fool, it wasn't necessary.
Well, here I am.
Get out of here as soon as you've had enough of my foolishness.
I don't get embarrassed that often.
Makes me sweat.
You always had weird taste for a woman, even back then.
I did wrong.
It means nothing to me.
Is that okay with you?
Go on home.
I did wrong.
If I kept my promise
and waited...
If I stayed by your side
this wouldn't have happened.
What are you talking about?
I was so close.
I...
I'm such a fool.
Please! Get mad.
Hit me! I don't care what happens to me.
If it suits you, I'll be by your side forever!
Fool!
What the hell are you saying?
If I was well, I would thrash you!
Goro!
Look,L“
Right now, I don't think anything about you.
That's the kind of man I am.
Incredibly,
I've got enough girls.
I'm no good for you!
No! It's not true!
You're not like that! I know you better than anyone!
Goro...
Oh, a guest?
Yeah.
It's an old friend's spouse.
She read the paper and came over.
This is my wife.
Her name is Yukiko.
Don't just stand there.
Offer her some tea or juice, why don't you?
You're still so immature and dense.
I'm so sorry. Please sit down. I'll get you some tea.
No, it's okay. I...
Right.
You'd better go home to your husband.
Bye.
This may be our last meeting.
Take care of your husband.
Have a nice life.
Good-bye.
Is something wrong?
I'm fine.
She can't see you anymore?
Her husband got a transfer. They're going to Kyushu.
Seeing her made me tired.
Let me help you.
Goro.
I'm happy.
You called me your wife.
Come in.
Good afternoon.
- These are my brother's remains. - I heard.
I'm sorry for your loss.
My fault.
I killed my brother.
That night...
I was about to be killed.
And my brother...
It's as good as if I killed him.
I know you can't help it, but don't think like that.
Your brother wouldn't want that either.
But I should've died. I was supposed to...
That's enough!
He's dead and you're alive. You can't change that!
What are you going to do with him?
I'm going back home and burying him there.
You have a home to go back to?
Where is it?
Nagano.
We were born in Komoro.
But there's nothing there now.
Nothing but an old grave.
Well, home is home.
That's where you grew up, right?
It's great to have a hometown.
There's mountains,
a river flows,
and the grass grows.
There's a smell too.
The smell of the dirt
smells different than other places.
A smell like that
seeps into your body.
It certainly does.
Yes, my brother smelled like that too.
When you go back to your hometown,
don't ever come back.
Okay?
You wash your hands and be respectable.
What?
You've still got a chance.
If you say no to the clan, things get difficult afterwards.
Just disappear.
Chief.
If I see your face again, I won't hold back on you.
I'll kill you.
That's right. A yakuza member doesn't have a hometown.
Like people who don't know their lineage or where they were born.
Or people in Tokyo who've lost everyone in their family.
You can't save those kinds of people.
You would be a lucky one if you're able to go back.
Well, you know, even if I do go back to my hometown,
there's no house or relatives or work.
There's always something.
You should go.
I'm sure you can figure out how you can make a respectable living there.
That's how it is with a hometown.
It is?
Think hard about it. You're young only once.
Don't get old like me before it's too late.
Think long and hard about it.
I guess I better go.
You might not come back, right?
I don't think so.
No, I don't think you should.
Well,
good-bye,
Kimiko.
What is it? The garbage man didn't come by. What are we going to do?
Don't you want to see him off?
He's young, but he's at an important point in life.
It was for me.
If your mom wasn't there,
I might've just died a dog's death by the side of the road.
Okay. I'll go.
Right. Hurry up.
- The train will come soon. - Okay.
We are gathered here as agreed upon by all parties.
Though I am a stranger, I have been asked to accept the sake cup.
Even then,
this may be it for us.
I guess so.
You've helped me so much.
Sorry.
I've certainly bad-mouthed you.
I'm sure you were offended. Sorry.
Don't worry about that.
Thank you.
I won't forget you.
Take care.
You too.
Take care of yourself.
- Takeo. - Yes?
Forget it.
Hey, is that all?
What do you mean?
I...
You don't want me to go?
Go where?
Where you're going.
That's just...
That's foolish.
I
loved you.
That's why I could only bad-mouth you.
Really?
Will you really come?
If it's all right with you.
I'll come anytime.
You must.
Somehow I'll find work.
Once I pick myself up properly, I'll get in touch with you.
The moment you tell me to come, I'll fly over right away.
I'm glad.
I'm so glad.
Man, I'm lucky.
Oh, no. It's time!
Well, hurry! You can't miss it.
On Track 3, at 2:00...
- We made it. - We're safe now.
- I'll go buy you lunch. - It's okay.
Get on and wait for me.
...Hachioji, 3:20 p.m.
Ootsugi, 4:20 p.m.
Koufu, 5:40 p.m.
- What will it be? - A regular lunch, please.
With tea as well.
Mend of line, Matsumoto, at...
Here you go miss.
Yes.
...to Matsumoto will depart now.
Please board the train.
We are now bound.
Idiot!
You idiot!
They played dirty.
With one hand, they make an agreement.
And at the same time, murder with the other hand.
The Ueno are always like that.
Goro went down because of that.
It's okay.
We'll figure out how to settle this later.
More importantly, Goro...
It's difficult to say,
but I want you to join some other clan.
It's one of the conditions in our agreement.
It's a disadvantage for us,
but we need to satisfy the Jingu clan's boss now.
Right?
Please understand.
From now on, consider yourself cut out of the Mizuhara clan.
Also,
this is
my farewell gift.
I can accept money as severance,
but
I'll return my farewell gift.
What?
I understand, boss.
This makes me a wanderer with no ties to you.
Now that I'm free,
there's something I must do.
And it has nothing to do with you.
I'll do it my own way,
with my own weapon.
So I'll return this to you.
So, we're off then.
Get well soon.
Thanks.
I hear Sugiyama made parole because of his illness.
I'll make sure
he'll get what he deserves.
If you see him, let me know.
- Thanks. - Take care.
Thank you, doctor.
Is he here?
Goro.
You look healthy.
Not healthy enough.
The prison doctor is an idiot.
He diagnoses tuberculosis if I cough once or twice.
It's a good piece of theater on my part.
- As always, brother. - Of course.
I got by as a kid by eating the scraps off the Americans.
Fundamentally it's the same thing.
That's why
you have to take it easy. I worry.
She's a worrywart.
She's insisting on taking me back to my hometown.
Where's your hometown?
Hirosaki.
It's a really nice place.
But I can't let her keep this up.
I mean, look at the sad state I'm in.
Brother, don't take this the wrong way,
but here's 200,000 yen.
I want you to take this and go back home with your lady.
Goro.
What the hell is this?
When did you...
And I have something to ask of you.
I want you to take my lady with you, too.
Even though she has a home, she won't go back.
And she won't be happy if she stays here in Tokyo.
I need you to take her so I can do a revenge killing.
What are you doing? It's so cold.
What can I do?
Hey, Goro.
Why don't you come with us?
Me?
Let's go.
Okay? Let's do that.
With this money, we can...
We can peddle things or do whatever.
Let's build a respectable life together.
Really?
You're okay with that?
However,
there's just one thing
that I have to do.
- You didn't get paid off to... - No it's not that.
No one's asked me to do anything.
It's something I've determined for myself.
So as soon as I get it done,
I'll be right behind you.
Goro, I won't lie to you.
If you go ahead, I'll come after.
I'll trust you'll take care of my lady.
What a guy.
Really, now.
For this money, Goro must be sacrificing his life.
A yakuza can't collect money unless he sacrifices his life.
I haven't dropped in on the clan either.
I'll go have a chat with them.
Don't, it's too much for you.
Don't worry.
You need to go to Gore's place
and get her lady ready to leave.
How pathetic.
Now they're both dead.
I'll have to go to the
temple that he wanted to visit so much.
Sorry for this.
It all got out of hand.
They really were pathetic.
Pathetic?
What exactly is so pathetic?
You're the one who killed them!
Just because
Takeo
was no longer a yakuza,
he...
He was murdered in that dreadful way.
It was all of you who should've died.
You yakuza...
All of you deserve to die!
Every single one of you
need to die.
Kimiko.
Kimiko, it's okay.
Goro, please don't take offense.
She's suffering too.
Sir,
it's true.
It's exactly as she said.
Three years ago, I was asked to murder someone.
Despite promising to take care of me afterwards,
you put my woman in the red light district,
and I wasn't even greeted when I got out of jail.
Even though you're in charge of this clan,
the lineage in this world won't last if it keeps up like this.
Is that all?
You see,
money is given only to those who are valued.
With that cough of yours,
no one doubts that you can't do much.
- What? - Now, now.
Settle down.
Let me talk to him.
Give him something and get rid of him.
Who knows what he'll do.
Boss!
Boss, Goro has recovered and is out for revenge.
That bastard.
Don't lose track of him.
My love.
Where's Goro?
He hasn't been back yet.
Where is he?
What can we do?
Did something happen?
She says she won't go if Goro isn't with her.
Now is not the time to be so frivolous.
You two take the luggage and wait for us at Ueno station.
I'll go find Goro and meet you there.
Did something happen with Goro?
Just do as I say.
No, I'll stay here.
I don't want to leave Goro behind.
You will just be a burden if you are around.
Okay?
Please go on ahead for his sake.
I promise to bring him with me.
Okay? Sugiyama doesn't lie.
He'll do everything he canto bring him.
Okay? Let's go.
Goro.
What? Brother...
Where's Yukiko?
I made them go ahead to the train station.
How did you get here?
- The Ueno clan... - They're here.
They're everywhere now.
This is a trap now.
Get away, Goro. I'll take care of it.
No, I won't let you get involved.
Idiot.
The Ueno clan owes me a lot.
No.
They're not a group that cares about duty and obligation.
Don't worry.
I can argue my way out of it.
And if you're here, we'll get busted.
Take this money and wait for me at the station.
As soon as I chase them off, I'll be there.
Brother...
Hurry, if you get caught it'll be hell.
They're here. Go!
I'll wait for you at the station.
We'll work our asses off when we get away.
Wait. I need to talk.
You! Where's Goro?
Where is he hiding?
Hold on. Listen to what I have to say.
Shut up. Tell us where Goro is.
Well, that's exactly what I want to talk about.
As you know, three years ago, I did a favor to the Ueno clan.
So I want you to return the favor by leaving...
Shut up.
After you try to shake down the boss, you betray us now?
It looks like you don't understand anything.
Go look around if you want.
I'm not gonna die.
...instead of 12:30.
Towards Aosen, Number 15,
going to Aomori, Platform 5...
Where is he?
He does like to talk. What time is it?
We have 15 minutes. There are no more direct trains left.
I'll try to get in touch with him.
You two go and wait for us on the train. Save us some seats.
But...
It's okay.
Let's go.
...to Nanabashi, Nanabashi,
going towards Sendai...
There has been another murder in Shinjuku today.
In an apartment in the Shinjuku area at around 6:00,
a neighbor discovered a possible yakuza man lying face down in blood.
After investigating,
the man was found to be a former Ueno clan member.
It has been confirmed that he is Katsuhiko Sugiyama, 32 years old.
Number 2 is now...
Goro! Over here!
- So? Did you talk to him? - Yes. I got through.
Really?
What about Sugiyama?
Things are taking too long.
It looks like he won't be able to make the train.
He's sorry.
- Well, I'll... - Wait.
We'll get on the train, first thing in the morning.
You two go on ahead.
He's asked for you to find somewhere to settle down.
Goro, get on. We'll talk about it later.
That's the thing.
Hirosaki is a long way.
He'll be by himself. He wants me to be with him.
- I'll go too. - Fool!
What are you saying?
You can't go and leave Ane here by herself.
What's with you?
You can't be my queen like that.
Okay? Wait for me.
What's with the face?
It's just one day.
Come on, smile.
Come on.
All right.
Ane,
forgive me for this.
I'll make sure to bring him with me.
- Please, take care of her. - It's all right.
Make sure he's okay.
Here, hold on to this.
It's not safe if I have it.
Sure. Can't trust men to hold onto it.
Goro.
You fool.
Go on.
Come quickly.
I Will.
Goro!
Be happy.
Forget about me and be happy.
Goro!
Get out of the way.
You're Ueno clan, right?
Where's Ueno?
I saw the fleeting ship
I was at the cabaret in Yokohama
All right.
Where you going?
Bathroom.
Back home to Shanghai you go, Lilu
Lilu
I hold
My sorrow
Close to my heart
I walk and search
Lilu, Lilu
Where are you, Lilu?
Does anyone know
Where Lilu is?
I saw a black dress
I saw you crying
Come back to me, Lilu
Back home to Shanghai you go, Lilu
Lilu
Amidst the falling fog
on Fouzhou Road in my dream
Without a word
Our eyes disconnect
Lilu, Lilu
I'm all alone, Lilu
Does anyone know
Where Lilu is?
This dark destiny
Is one we share
Let's live together
Like the way we used to
Lilu, Lilu
I won't get to see you today, Lilu
Does anyone know
Where Lilu is?
THE END
