You're in luck!
A big welcome to customers on the Kurma-san the Builder machines.
Both machines are ready to pay up. You're welcome to break the bank.
Oh, there you are. You're really scoring, Mr. Mizuki.
Oh, Kin-chan. I can't leave my seat while I'm on this winning streak.
Your wife's getting worried since you haven't called her.
Am I late already?
Oh, it's started again!
Why don't you join me, Kin-chan?
This place sure pays out and people come here from all over.
I've never played pachinko before.
Move your feet.
Kid!
Will you lend a poor woman 1000 yen? I'll pay you back if I win.
OK.
Your won't see your money again.
She's always using that line.
Yeah?
Leaving the boxes just to flaunt your success!
They're a danger to passers-by!
I nearly get there, Then I lose my confidence.
I look at the sky and wonder, Will I get to where my dreams come true?
Life used to be so easy for me, And now time is running out.
I left my mistakes behind me, Because I wanted to change.
But I haven't changed.
I built a rainbow over the thunder clouds, And time and space, and I started to run.
I'll climb that rainbow to a world beyond, Where my heart will learn to sing.
And I will come to see tomorrow.
I can flow,
I can go endlessly.
If I find my peck of courage in time and space,
I will start walking again.
KINTARO CONNECTS PEOPLE
Get out of here quick!
S...sorry.
You looking at me?
A punk like you shouldn't look at people like that.
That's what they do for a living. There's no need for you to get involved.
I'm sorry, I lost your 1000 yen.
It's OK.
Old woman, 1000 yen isn't enough to win, is it?
Play for the big stakes.
- Fool. - Eh?
I'm keeping it.
You're not doing any good, encouraging the poor to spend money like water.
Machine 58 comes up lucky for the 17th time!
Here we go again!
You're pissing me off!
That's the machine I was playing.
You flash bastard!
Ki...Kin-chan!
What is it?
I need to go to the toilet.
Will you play for me?
You just hold this handle.
OK.
I'll go home after this since I'm keeping everyone waiting.
Y...yes?
Hey, kid, swapping seats isn't allowed in this parlor, is it?
N...no.
He's not the same customer.
Excuse me, where's the customer?
Oh, he's gone to the wash room.
I think we can turn a blind eye when it's a call of nature.
Are you taking me for a monkey?
Do you know who you're dealing with?
They're making trouble again.
Shall we call the police?
Wait! We could lose our reputation if we bring the police in on this.
Anyway, look at camera 5.
How come a bigwig like him is in here?
Hey! No point talking to a kid like you!
Bring us the manager! The manager!
I'm calling the manager now.
What do you mean by swapping seats?
I'll show you.
It means someone who plays instead of you.
Did you understand, lad?
Hey, let's all relax!
You'd better be careful! You can get seriously injured in one of these parlors!
You fell. You should be more careful!
Boss!
- Are you OK? - Boss!
Kin-chan! What on earth...?
Nothing.
You bastard!
- Do you realize what you've done? - Shut up!
Do it outside.
Boss, this is Mr. Doujima, the head of the Mitsuba gang.
I...I know.
Step outside! You've just made a big mistake!
I'll have to teach you slowly and carefully what happens when you mess with a yakuza!
Ki...Kin-chan!
Let's get out of here fast, Mr. Mizuki.
Yeah, but...
Is there a back door?
Y...yes, it's next to the wash room.
Thanks.
They gave me these.
They're tokens to cash.
I'll cash them tomorrow. Let's get out of here.
Hey! Haven't you come out yet?
Please go home straight away, Mr. Mizuki.
I'm going this way.
B...but...
Please, move it!
OK, but please get away.
Young man, why don't you come to my place? I'll fix you a drink.
Oh, there he is!
- Wait! - Punk!
- Hey, punk! - Wait!
Get out of the way, grandma!
I'll teach you what happens when you mess with the yakuza!
You son of a bitch!
Are you still grumbling?
You're yakuza, so what?
- Are you okay, grandma? - You'll soon find out I'm not your grandma.
You're Sawada's henchmen, aren't you?
Go home and tell Sawada to give Headquarters a call.
I'll talk to him and come to an arrangement so your fathers' don't have to lose
more than their fingertips by way of an apology.
Have you met Kintaro yet?
Yes.
What did you think?
He's totally different to us.
He's a very interesting character.
But will he be able to make a career?
Or is he able to understand the meaning of it all?
I very much doubt it.
Hey, Doujima, come over and have tea.
No, I'm fine here.
What a large empty plot!
My late husband and I used to cultivate it together, but now it looks utterly neglected.
Is this your land? You're wealthy then!
Young man, she's a multi-millionaire!
So what?
Money is no more than pieces of paper when you get to my age.
You can't even wipe your ass with it. But people are always sniffing around it.
Good afternoon.
Please excuse me for not keeping in touch with you as chairwoman, Madam Nakamura.
Kanzaki! The bodyguard you sent was totally useless!
Did anything happen?
Well...
Anyway, what do you want? Money?
No, I've brought someone back.
He's still young but he's risen to become a counselor for Mitsuba gang.
He's marrying my daughter.
I'm Shiina. I'm glad to make your acquaintance.
Hey, Shiina!
Kin-chan! Why are you here?
Well, I'm not sure. I'm having tea.
Excuse me, but you're Mr. Yajima Kintaro, aren't you?
Do you remember me?
No.
I wrongly accused you of assaulting me on a train some time ago.
No worries!
Oh, you're that girl!
Chieko, you...
Father, he's the person I mistakenly slapped.
Shiina, is he the person who used to be head of the motorcycle gang you were in?
Yes, he is.
Yajima Kintaro!
Oh, I see.
I thought he looked a bit of a rebel for a civilian.
Are you a hoodlum too?
Are you a yakuza?
Come on! I'm not that stupid!
Oh, yeah?
Excuse me, but have you ever lived near Shikoku?
Yeah, I was born in Shikoku.
What's your father's name?
Yajima Teruo.
Look! Isn't he cute, Kanzaki?
Yes.
The legendary Kintaro We named him Kintaro.
What was the noise?
Idiot! Couldn't you see he was a barber!
Go!
Just go!
I'm sorry!
What's wrong, Chairman?
Nothing.
Shina, you've finished introducing yourself. Aren't you going to take my daughter home?
Father...
Just go home!
Yes, father.
Kin-chan, this is my fiancee. We'll come and see you soon.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
I'm a man who's committed one crime after another.
But I'm not going to say that I'm a murderer in front of my daughter.
Murderer?
Mr. Kintaro, your father is not a murderer.
He was a great man.
I sacrificed Mr. Yajima's family and there's nothing I can say.
I'm a yakuza.
I'm not trying to whitewash things.
But my feelings are really different as far as he's concerned.
I presented myself at the police station.
But the opposition was afraid of your father.
They wanted Yajima out of the way.
So the two men who were at the scene said...
It wasn't me who shot him! It was Yajima! Yajima did it!
They kept testifying that Mr. Yajima shot the barber.
And that's how Mr. Yajima's guilt was established.
I didn't want to stay around after this,
so I moved to Tokyo with my wife and our newly born baby.
Over time I climbed all the way up the ladder.
But I've never forgotten your father once.
I'll tell you once again.
Your father is definitely not a murderer!
He's an honorable man.
Where's Mr. Yajima now?
I don't know.
But he doesn't seem to like being a yakuza.
I see.
Can I say one thing?
Yes.
My father must always have lived his life his own way,
and must still be standing his ground now.
You can't move forward if you carry your past with you.
Let the past bury the past.
- I couldn't believe it was Kin-chan. - What?
That he was the man you said you wrongly accused of assaulting you.
You seemed strange at the time.
You told me about him to sort out your feelings, didn't you?
Sorry, I...
It can't be helped when it's something to do with him.
I fell for him too, when I was a kid. I would've risked my life for him.
Thank you, Shina.
I feel that we share good fortune.
Luck can change over night, but fortune pursues you throughout your life.
What kind of day is this? Here comes another big wheel.
Hey! How are you, old woman?
You're still living in this shabby house. Should I build a nice new one for you?
How dare you speak to me like that in my own house!
You sex mad old man.
Money.
Arrange one thousand million yen for me urgently.
You have fallen on hard times, Mita Zenkichi.
Aren't you able to find a mere one thousand million yen anymore?
Don't be like that. You know what things are like these days.
Hey, Seiji!
Let me introduce you.
This old woman is Nakamura, who washes a lot of money in Japan.
She's become extremely powerful,
since banks don't give you money easily these days.
Introduce yourself.
This is Takatsukasa Seiji, a former official of International Trade and Industry,
and he now works for a company called Yamato Construction.
I've heard a lot about you.
I'm very glad to make your acquaintance.
Yeah.
This is where I least expected to see you, Yajima.
Hi, Section Chief.
What? Yajima?
Hello, master!
What! What! Kin-chan!
You're not satisfied with hooking the proprietress of Ginza's ,
you've been sneaking into this old woman's good graces, too?
Sneaking into? I was only picked up in a pachinko parlor.
It's true that I picked you up, but didn't this old man Mita call you Kin-chan?
Who the hell are you?
I'm only a salaryman. You're the one who played the innocent, you old witch.
This is really a weird situation, but it has nothing to do with me.
Bye.
Was it really an accident?
I picked him up without knowing anything about him.
He came along with me without knowing anything about me.
So he didn't come for my money.
Do you have any idea how happy that makes me?
It means my intuitions are still right, old man.
I don't mind giving all the money I have to the kid when I die.
Have you fallen in love with him, old woman?
I'm in love for the first time since my husband died.
Oh?
Is that you, Sei-chan?
Were you here?
What are you doing with the light off?
Don't come in without permission!
Sorry.
But this is my place.
That's it. I'll tell you more later.
Yamato Construction is a major construction company but it's still second-rate.
Take the big projects in Tokyo, for example.
The five biggest companies have a monopoly on the big projects in Tokyo.
There's no chance for this company to muscle in.
I see.
This company is willing to foster talents and provide good jobs.
No one develops their talent outside of the right environment.
Talents are developed when there are good jobs.
Kintaro, I'm transferring you to Tohoku at the beginning of next month.
Is this good job in the Tohoku region?
It's something like that.
Anything to do with fighting?
Maybe that's going to be part of it.
But these are fights for grown men.
It doesn't matter whether you foul or not. Remember that.
Fights for grown men?
I'll do my best.
I heard you're going to the North East.
Yes.
By the way, do you know the word career encompasses, Yajima?
I'm not sure.
Personal history and experiences. They're the things we gain as we live.
We can't gain them by ourselves.
People are the key to all of this. We need to meet people and be trusted by them.
Civil servants classify themselves as being 'career' or 'non-career'.
It's nonsense.
They don't understand what living's all about.
They're drawing false distinctions.
I'm going to Vietnam next month. I'm pinning my hopes on you.
It'll give us both a chance to look into the real meaning of career.
Section Chief!
What?
I don't trust you at all.
Just carry out the plan.
Did the President really say that?
Yes. He said our company was second rate.
Shit!
It's our fault, it's the employees' fault.
We're making him say things like that.
I'm definitely going to make him say we're first rate!
It's time, Kintaro.
You should go home, Ryuta is waiting for you.
Thank you. Thanks for always taking care of me.
Kintaro, why don't you move in with the proprietress of Misuzu?
She doesn't take us seriously.
It's the North East office. It's where Mr. Igo is.
Also known as The Submarine.
Yeah, the President must have decided to leave Kintaro in his care.
But the question is, can Kintaro learn to kiss ass?
I'll do it! No problem!
Hey, hey! You're drunk!
After climbing up a long road,
The lights of the city flicker in the distance.
I realize why I look up at the sky,
And the dream I had that day comes into my mind.
I've kept searching for what never changes, And I've reached my goal at last.
It's you, in my arms, That will change everything in heaven.
We'll start walking together, Our long way journey to heaven.
As long as it's true that we're together again, I don't need anything else in heaven.
