Alien registration card...
Name?
Lin Biao
Chinese?
I'm Taiwanese
You
Li Bao-zhao. Taiwan
Hey, you! Wait!
Registration card...
I'm Japanese
You're what?
You're Chinese!
He's half-breed
Who knows what he is?
I saw you speaking Chinese
You're not a Japanese
I'm Japanese
Show me your registration
Noda!
Yes come here
Stay there!
Don't fuck with them
This is Kabukicho, damn it
Wherever they're from,
they drift like leeches into
Kabukicho
I'm not Chinese or Japanese
Here they call me a bat...
flying around at night
using my radar to survive
Hello...
Where are you?
You're late!
My brother needs a visa
Can you get me a passport?
If you've got the cash...
So, Xui-Hong, what's the news?
That's it
Fu-chun's back from Nagoya
What?
He's back here
What did that dumb bastard...
come back for?
Are you sure?
One of Yuan's guys saw him
Which one
Was that?
Sun-chum. What'll you do?
Yuan'll want you to give him
Fu-chun
Your Shanghai triad has
lots of excuses to kill me
Why should I pay for what
Fu-chun did?
What would they want
if he'd killed ten men?
He killed our number-two man
Mr. Yuan wants revenge
You two were like brothers
Sun-chun, keep out of here
This is Mr. Yuan's place,
I'll go wherever I like
I told you a year ago
I'd nothing to do with that
That's only we couldn't
beat the truth out of you
Wu Fu-chun is not my brother
He's a former partner
If you want something
hurry up and say so
The boss wants to see you
Tomorrow at 1
There's nowhere you can run
don't forget
Hey, chief Hongkong called
Nobody hit the triactor
at the races there today
That means the Day 3's
up to HK$400 million
That's 6.4 billion yen
You ought to place a bet
with Kenichi, too
Maybe, put down a bet for me
We'll see if you live long
enough to pay off
Here's today's take
And from the girls
for the Hongkong lottery
The New Year's Eve draw
The jackpot could hit HK$30
million
That's 500 million yen
Thank you
Are you going to run?
I could get you to
the States
The worst thing about
nightmares...
is when you forget them the
second your eyes jerk open
I have a lot of nightmares...
but I don't remember any
I'm worried one day I will
Lately even being with
a woman is a nightmare
Yeah?
Hello... Mr. Ryu?
Mr. Wang said to call you
Mr. Wang from where?
From Mr. Yuan's place
Hello? Hello?
Yeah, I'm still here...
I've got something to sell
I hear you buy anything but
children's organs
What is it?
I'll show it to you
I'll be by the
Furin Building at 2 p. m.
OK?
If I'm not there
though, just forget it
What's your name?
Natsumi
Natsumi, huh? There's no
Wang at Mr. Yuan's
See you, Natsumi
Today's lottery bets
Kenichi...
Tian-wen, go bring Mr. Ye
OK
I hear Fu-chun's back
from Nagoya
Yuan Cheng-gui wants to
see me this afternoon
Where are you going?
For dim sum
Can you get dim sum
in Shinjuku at this hour?
Don't you want to talk to me
Where's Kenichi, Dad?
Kenichi
How come you never visit
your big sister any more?
I'll do that, Mom...
I'm so glad Tian-wen
hired a chef from Hongkong
Now we'll have decent food
Hi...
Oh... how've you been?
Kenichi
How's it going?
It's OK
Great look at this
comic book
Xu-rui, come on
Hi, Grandpa
Here's Tian-wen with Mr. Ye
Mr. Ye sorry to drag you in
from Yokoham so early
Nice to see you
Mr. Ye says the older he gets
the more he loves to eat
This way...
Mr. Ye
It's good to see
both your sons
doing so well, Mr. Yang
Well, I may be guardian to
both Kenichi and Tian-wen...
but to them I'm just an
old man who talks too much
There's a Hongkong chef...
at the new Fujian place, too
They're competition
Tian-wen's worried
He's smart. He can hold
his own against anyone
Those Fujian people want to
move here into Shinjuku, too
Be careful
We should serve
Cantonese food
in our Yokohama place, too
Just Taiwanese isn't enough
Chinese come to Japan now
from Beijing, Shanghai...
and even Wenzhou
They all like Cantonese food
Haven't you
talked to him yet?
To hell with it
Just seeing Yuan Cheng-gui
is no big deal
If Yuan and his Shanghai
thugs lay a hand on you...
the old man loses face
Don't worry.
I'm sure he'll help you out
Let's go back to the others
I'm fine here
They're speaking Taiwanese
and I don't understand
That's because you never
bothered to learn
NO, that's because no one
ever bothered to teach me
If I win
the New Year's lottery
in Hongkong...
I'll start a restaurant
in Shibuya, too
Guan-yao call up your friend
Cui-hu
Get him to see Kenichi
at noon
Say I asked him to
All right
Kenichi,
the rest is up to you
You mean Beijing Cui-hu?
Why are you
mixed up with him?
Come for New Year's dinner
You remember that work
Mr. Ye suggested in Hongkong
Why not think about it again
He mentioned it again today
You could even leave tonight
There'd still be time
Why? What have you heard?
The reason Fu-chun is back
Is that bad for me?
There's a storm brewing
A sacrifice might be needed
Talk to me about Hongkong
after you see Yuan
Kenichi, let's go
to the game center
Listen, will you do
something for me?
Sure! Is it dangerous?
Spy work
Xu-rui Come here
In a minute
Xu-rui
Why does the Taiwan group...
suddenly want my help?
I'm not in the Taiwan group
Oh, that's right...
You're mixed
Taiwanese and Japanese
You killed Taiwanese guy
didn't you
You and that guy Wu Fu-chun.
Were hanging out with
all those war orphans kids
that gang of losers
called Dragon
not follow the game to play
Why are you running to me
for help now?
OK, let's hear it.
I'm not here for help
I'm offering a deal
You talk too much
You want to get into
underground banking
You need a Japanese citizen
as a front
I might let you
use me for that
Isn't that something
A half-breed
who deals in his own blood
You piece of shit
You want my help and
you act like it's
making a deal?
What have you got to lose?
OK. Let's say this
looks like a good deal
I'll call Yuan Cheng-gui and
tell him to leave you alive
I wouldn't want to lose out
on a good deal, would I...
Looks like lunch was on you
Or was Cui-hu buying?
How do you like Beijing food
I wonder why everyone thinks
I want to hurt you
Mr. Yang and even Cui-hu
come rushing to your side...
When you first came here
as a student, Mr. Yuan...
you read
The Romance of
The Three Kingdoms
You may remember
it was me who lent it to you
I'm sure you remember that
Everyone says
Ryu Kenichi is very shrewd
It would seem so
In that book you
remind me of Lu-bu
who served three masters
Every tit he sucked
he called Mother
He had to live on
his wits, too
Just like you and
your partner
Wu Fu-chun
You're a busy man, Mr. Yuan
so perhaps you forget...
my partnership
with him ended...
a year before
he killed your man
Yes, that's what you said,
isn't it
Talk
Fu-chun's got nothing
to do with me
We split up
Care to see more?
I've had two favorite videos
over the past year...
this one...
and the one of
my man's funeral
You're the only one Fu-chun
can call on in Shinjuku
Bring him to me
by New Years' Eve
That's three days
Then you can go
play mah jong
and enjoy your New Year
Mr. Yuan...
I've compromised enough
We Shanghai people are
too generous for
our own good
I'll do what I can
Oh, your book...
I'm not sure
did I ever return it to you?
What was Natsumi like?
Like a hostess Real pretty
You ought to meet her
OK, enough of that...
She went back to her place
then left right after that
I pretend to make a mistake
and knocked next door
The lady there told me
all about her
She said Natsumi came from
Nagoya four days ago...
and borrowed her phone to
call back there
It's that building... number
203?
Keep this quiet
OK
I'd never been to Nagoya
I didn't even know
how far away it was
What would someone
from Nagoya...
be wanting with me?
Instead of fooling around
about this woman...
I should have been scouring
Shinjuku for Wu Fu-chun
My mission is find
Fu-chun for Yuan
Or have forgotten everything
and simply left town
But I was used to waiting
I'd always been
waiting for something
it was better to
wait inside than out
Who's there?
Don't move
So you're Natsumi...
You wanted to
sell me something...
So you're Mr. Ryu...
I'd given up on you
I was checking. I don't deal
with people I don't know
So you broke into my room?
And with a gun
That's how it goes
Just in case there was
someone bad with you
You could take off
your shoes
We do that in Japan, you know
That's how that goes
If he's big and bad,
I might have to leave
in a hurry through
the window
Hi. I'm Ryu Kenichi
And I'm Sato Natsumi
You're Chinese...
Japanese. Raised in China
Where?
Up north. Heilongjiang
Oh, a war orphan's kid...
So what?
You're returned from Taiwan,
aren't you?
Can I have one?
How did you hear about me?
Answer a question
of mine first
You're sure no one name Wang
works for Yuan Cheng-gui?
A lot of guys work for him
There could be a Wang there,
or a Chin
You're not from Shinjuku
Who told you about me?
Wu Fu-chun
I'm from Nagoya.
I'm his girlfriend
What's wrong?
Where is he now?
I don't know
You don't know?
You're his girlfriend.
Why don't you know?
Don't you want to know what
I want to sell you?
Don't change the subject
Wu Fu-chun
What?
I want to sell Wu Fu-chun
I ran away from Nagoua
I came to Shinjuku because
I knew he'd follow me here
I knew there'd be
a price on his head here
I figured
I'd lure him up here...
and sell him to you
You deal in anything but
children's organs, don't you
That's what he said
about you
Got any ideas?
That's where you come in...
isn't it?
I haven't said I'll do it
I'll be back
For now
I had to get away from her
I had the feeling she
already had me on a string
Hi, Kenichi Go on in
Is Tozawa here?
How are you
How are you getting on?
Here's the God of Luck
Wait.
I'll pay back everything
Have you ever won here?
No, But only the Thais
will give me credit
My Korean friends won't even
let me in their place
How much can you give me?
200,000 yen,
Half up front...
the rest when you finish
What do you want to know?
About Wu Fu-chun
A war orphan's son,
Japanese name Sakamoto Tomio
Came here in 1984 from Jilin
lived in Chiba
That much I know
Yeah, you were partners...
A long time ago
What do you want to know?
He never said
much about his past
especially his family
I'm pretty sure his parents
are still in Chiba
Is he in touch with
them or not?
One more thing...
Who's he been with lately?
Didn't you write an article
about war orphan's kids once
Go to it
OK, I can handle it
I'm in a hurry
By when?
Before I get killed
What happened?
Wu Fu-chun shot up...
the Shanghai Sea
Said he was after a woman
What's going on?
You don't know?
Fu-chun attacked
Yuan's mistress's club
He was after a woman
Yuan's men are after
three people
Wu Fu-chun, his woman... and me
This place is too
near Shinjuku
Where are we going?
Lidabashi. I look after
a client's place there
what's so funny?
I'm just happy... nothing
This is no time to laugh
But you're worried about me
Don't get me wrong
You're my trump card
in this deal, that's all
Oh, really?
Natsumi had lured
Fu-chun to Tokyo...
telling him she was...
in the hands of
88an Cheng-gui
Was a woman capable of that
a card in my hand...
or was I a card in hers?
This is a nice place
Not really finished, though.
We take our shoes off
in Japan, you know
Sorry
Hey... does the shower work?
Can I take a shower?
Thank you
Papa Yang?
Kenichi? Where are you?
Somewhere Yuan can't find me
He was looking all over
Shinjuku for you
I've calmed things
down a bit
Really?
I told him that even you...
wouldn't be stupid
enough to help
Fu-chun attack his club
But you've got to
hand Fu-chun
over to him. Any luck so far?
I'll need money
How much?
Two million
Why do you need that much?
I've looked everywhere
I can think of myself
Now I'll need to hire help
When do you want it?
I'll send a woman
over for it
Then I'm going to disappear
for a while
Good idea
I'm going out.
I'll be right back
OK
The Report shows that
Your Natsumi is a fake
This is the real one
She died in a car crash
It's easy
Her passport remains valid
The woman at your place
buys it
She take out credit cards...
and sets up a new identity
Great. Tell the Colombian to
give you what you want...
and put it on my account
Thanks
I have to go
I knew you were
capable of anything
but I didn't think
you were that devious
Why?
You looked at my wallet and
my passport
We've never dealt before
I'm sure
you'd do the same
Wouldn't you, Sato Natsumi?
So in my room...
did you feel around in
my trunk?
Did you touch my panties...
and get all excited?
What's wrong?
Don't you want me?
Cut it out
Get changed.
I've got a job for you
We're going out?
I just took a shower
I need your help
Sure
It's Kenichi
I need a car right away
No, no, not that...
This. But then I'll have to
put on make-up
Do that, then
You haven't asked
why I left Fu-chun
I don't have to ask
No one stays around him
very long. Especially women
But one strange thing...
He's never been
the type to get stupid
over a woman
Day 2:12:23 a. m.
Go straight
for 50 meters to a lane...
called New Center Street
On your right...
is a Chinese medicine store
called Seikando
The owner's an old guy
Tell him Kenichi sent you
Hello?
Kenichi? Just two days left,
you know
Mr. Yuan is concerned
about you
Kenichi? Where are you?
Xui-Hong...
Fu-chun charged into
the club
yelling and screaming...
The guys tried to stop him
and there were gunshots
Someone knocked me flying
I don't remember much
I think maybe I fainted
When I came to
he was right in front of me
He stuck a gun in my face
and said, Where's my woman?
Who's your woman? I said
I thought he'd shoot me
I fainted again
When I came around
the police were there
I guess he didn't shoot
because we all
used to be friends
Mr. Yang says he calmed down
Yuan Cheng-gui
He didn't calm him down
he made a proposal
A proposal?
They were on the phone
for a long time
They made a deal
Do you know what?
No. Only that something's
ready to happen in Kabukicho
and that Fu-chun
being here could start it
there's a storm brewing
A sacrifice might be needed
What?
That's what Mr. Yang said
Shouldn't you get away?
It's too late
I'm not leaving now
Because of her?
I'll see you later
Who was that?
This is for you
So how was Kabukicho?
Quiet. Just some drunk
wanting to know
You made me dress like this
There's only
Oh, yeah... I took 100,000
You did?
Surely what I have to sell
is worth more than that
That's different
Stop fooling around
Let's get going
I need money to
take care of myself
Give it back
Lend it to me, then
It's 20 per cent interest,
payable in ten days
If that's OK with you...
Tightwad
Oh! There was someone who wa
wanted to see you
Who?
You're the third
person today
who's told me to hide
I don't know who else,
but... it's you
I'm thinking of,
elder brother
Give up this yakuza shit
Maybe you can be a straight
businessman, but I can't
And you know why?
Because just like Yuan and
Cui-hu and the rest...
you're living in the past.
You're behind the times
Everybody's going global.
To keep up with the times...
there has to be...
a revolution in Kabukicho
The little guys
will be eliminated
And now Fu-chun shows up
A perfect chance to get rid
of anyone in the way
Don't you get it?
Mr. Ye in Yokohama and the
Fujian group in Ikebukuro...
want to take over Shinjuku
Mr. Ye, with the port
in Yokohama...
controls guns, drugs...
and foreign prostitutes
The Fujian group
investing
in Japanese real estate
Papa Yang will become
Mr. Ye's man in Shinjuku
Little Wen...
I need a favor from you
I want to bring Yuan to your
restaurant...
and turn Fu-chun over to him
I want you to get Papa Yang
to come along as insurance
At my place?
Don't worry
Yuen won't live to make it
into the restaurant
You know I hate stuff
like that
OK. I'll do what I can
But we aren't brothers
any more
And you don't call me
Little Wen any more
Sure.
You don't have to call me
big brother any more, either
One last thing...
Keep away from that woman
This is Faye Wong... a H.K.
Singer from Beijing
You're really cold
aren't you
Why?
Little Wen admires you,
You know
How would you know?
Anyway, nothing good happens
to people who end up with me
Friends, or lovers
So are you afraid for me if
I'm with you?
Or are you afraid of me?
What do you mean?
I don't know these streets...
but I do know that
we're just driving around
Is that because you don't
want to be alone with me?
Don’t waste your time
Hey... did you ever do it in
a car?
Don't you like Faye Wong?
What's this song?
You like it?
My mother had this boyfriend
...a Black pianist
He used to fuck her
to this record
Ah, childhood memories
I like it
Then it's yours
Do me a favor We're going to
be together for a while
Even if you don't mean it,
treat me as your lover
Even for a few days
Whatever you like
Yeah? I'm glad
This can be our song
Whatever you like
To get some food
go home
Here we go
Hello?
Fu-chun
Where are you?
I'm on my way
Get a taxi
Can't I come? No
Hey. Let's go for a drive
Hey, wait
Where you going? Get lost
How are you?
No, how are you? Good
If I said I wanted to kill
Yuan Cheng-gui...
would you lend me a hand?
Let me ask you
something first
What?
You never cared about
any woman before
Who's this woman
you're looking for now?
You know why I had to leave
Shinjuku last year?
You killed Yuan Cheng-gui's
right-hand man
You Know why?
No, I don't
I don't have time
for 20 questions
What's your hurry? Do you
have to go somewhere?
I've been hiding for
three days
I haven't talked to anyone
OK, let's talk
We had to form gangs when we
first got here...
to protect ourselves
from the Japanese kids
That's why I started
the Dragons
I know that
A girl from my home town
in China got gang-raped
One of the guys
who did it was from Shanghai
The girl was only 14
She ended up working as
a bar hostess
She came to me for help
She became my woman
And this guy from Shanghai...
was Yuan's man,
the one you killed...
Three days ago
Xiao-lian phoned,
and said Yuan had her
Xiao-lian?
Xiao-lian My woman
You get her away from Yuan,
then we'll go kill him
It's a good thing
you didn't kill Xui-Hong
She thinks you didn't
because we were partners
I'll kill anyone
who's with Yuan
That shithead
Sun-Chan showed up
I got the hell out of there
I was just about to put a
bullet in Xui-Hong, too
She doesn't know that
She might be able to help
I'll ask her.
Where do I find you?
You know the dragon...
Yeah...
Shinjuku Station, West Exit
Look for the dragon
Look for what?
You'll be surprised
But you still haven't said
you'll help me kill Yuan...
Hello, Kenichi...
I hear you're with a woman
That might not be
such a good idea
Sleep well last night?
I didn't sleep at all
What's wrong?
A nightmare
What about?
I don't remember
You weren't dreaming of
making love to me?
Where'd you go?
I was awake,
so I went shopping
Then I cleaned the place
Finally it looks like
someone lives hare. See?
If I'm your girlfriend, I
must act like it, shouldn't I
Then maybe you should tell
the truth
About what?
You're not Sato Natsumi
What did Fu-chun say?
That you grew up
with him China
That's right
He lived near me
Our mothers were Japanese,
left behind after the war
I met him again here
Is that all?
Then why all the lies?
How can I trust you if you
won't tell me the truth?
When I was small, my mother
and father hit me
And then later
Fu-chaun hit me
Are you going to hit me, too
No, I'm not...
Kenichi, Kenichi
But you're not serious about
killing Fu-chun, are you?
Yes, I am. When I was 12,
he raped me
You happy now?
All the men I've known have
only wanted one thing
But with you, I don't mind
I want to believe you... but
I don't...
Lovers or not
I don't care
I shouldn't have gone into
her room
I shouldn't have opened
her trunk
Kenichi, Kenichi, be gentle
You're not like
the rest of them
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
compated you to them
I didn't think
it would get so complicated
Can you still do it?
I've never been to
a hot spring
Why don't we forget
everything and go to one?
A hot spring is no big deal
It is to me, even just once
Fu-chun once said...
there are two kinds
of people
The cheaters and the cheated
We'd steal credit cards and
use them at department store
Kids' clothes, mostly
A few days later Xui-Hong
would return them...
and say they didn't fit
No one suspects a housewife
returning baby clothes
Have you ever killed anyone?
Just once
Hello?
Tian-wen... What?
Now?
You're going to use her?
She's Fu-chun's girlfriend
She's the bait
She's how we get to him
So what's the plan?
Tomorrow I call Yuan
I tell him some Malaysians
have got Fu-chun...
and I'll hand him over
somewhere Yuan
will feel safe...
somewhere Yuan
will feel safe
like Tian-wen's restaurant...
at say, 5 p.m.
I need you there
as insurance
so Yuan will come
But really, before Yuan
reaches the restaurant...
Fu-chun
steps out and
puts some bullets into him
Think it'll work?
The Shanghai group
won't sit back...
and let us kill
Yuan Cheng-Gui
You know the Shanghai group
is riddled with factions
Qian-bo's
looking to be
number one himself
Xui-Hong always tell me
the truth
If we give them
Fu-chun's corpse...
they'll make a bit of noise
and that'll be that
You think so?
I'm the one in danger
All you have to be
is a guarantor
Looks like New Year's
Eve dinner
might be a bit late...
How's business?
Very good, thanks
Tian-wen... thanks
Excuse me
Raise up
OK
The wife says you be sure
and come to dinner, too
It's at Tian-wen's,
so you'll be close by
Mr. Ye wants to see you
Looks like fun
Want to come for a drive?
Yes, yes, yes Very nice
Where'd you get her?
She's Fu-chun's girlfriend
His life is in
the hands of you
and Mr. Yang right now
Since you invited me
to be in this little play...
I'd like to study my part
So what's going to happen
in Kabukicho tomorrow?
How can I help
if I don't know?
If it's too late
How can I help?
That's easy.
We give Wu Fu-chun
to Yuan Cheng-gui
You know,
this guy is so mean
Let's ask you
Maybe we'll go somewhere
and I'll show you what
I'm like
we'll see who you prefer...
Him, of course
How will you know that
until you've tried me?
Stop it
OK. Fu-chun's going to
kill Yuan
Good idea
Makes me want to come
in my pants
I'll have this woman someday
You can have her till then
Stop here
Kill that bastard
Wait here
You were gone so long...
I went to the toilet
The toilet?
Not the telephone?
What do you mean?
You don't trust me yet?
I haven't decided to
trust you yet
I don't know anyone in Tokyo
Who would I phone?
Someone wanting information
Where did Cui-hu spring from
just now
Maybe you called him so
you'll be sure of a way out
I don't know his
phone number
Why would I call him?
I hate him
There's always
the phone book...
What are you doing?
If you won't trust me,
what else can I do?
Can you stand up? You OK?
I just went to the toilet
I did something else, too
A guy like you wouldn't know
what day this is...
Happy Valentine's
What's wrong?
Did I blow it again?
Don't you like chocolate?
You want to be a bat,
like me?
Sure I do
Where are we going?
A bat follows its instincts
Then we should play our song
Isn't the owner here?
Are you sure...
We can go in?
Terrific
If only it would snow...
You can't have everything...
Let's not have sex tonight
Just hold me
Sex was the furthest thing
from my mind...
Day 3:Midnight, Chinese New
Year's Eve
Mr. Yuan...
the Tao Yuan restaurant at 5
Don't bring any more than
two men with you
Too many and things
will get difficult
There
Fine
Thanks
You eat first. I've got some
thing to do
And call my call phone
in 15 minutes
Why?
Just do it. 15 minutes, OK?
Fu-chun Fu-chun
Remember Jiro?
The ex-police inspector...
I'll go wash. Take your time
They'd look all over Shinjuk
and never find you here
The best place to hide
is in plain sight
Well? Did you find
where Xiao-lian is?
Don't worry
Xui-Hong convinced Yuan to
let her take Xiao-lian
Now I can kill the bastard
Without having to worry
Today at 5...
Yuan and two of his
men will pass here
I'm supposed to meet them
at the Tao Yuan restaurant
At 4:45 a boy will come
and give you a sports bag
In it will be a shotgun and
a walkie-talkie
Wait till I tell you
Xiao-lian?
I'm with Fu-chun
Tell him you're at Xui-Hong
and you're all right
Xiao-lian
You're safe
Don't worry. I'm going to
Kill that son-of-a-bitch
Until then...
Xiao-lian?
She hung up
Xiao-lian?
Anyway, once it's done,
get the hell out of there
I'll bring Xiao-lian to
the cemetery in Takadanobaba
Oh, yeah...
the place we used
in the old days...
Just a minute...
One last thing
Buy a lottery ticket
for tonight's draw
For me... and Xiao-lian
Hello... I'd like the number
for Mistral in Shinjuku...
What the hell are you doing?
Sorry about that...
but who sent you?
Don't be so violent
I wanted you to ask him
I thought you wanted me
to kick him
Tell Mr. Ye I appreciated
his concern,
but I'll be fine
You called Papa Yang
and said
we were there, didn't you
I did what?
No one knew we were in that
coffee shop
But I never thought
he'd have us followed
When you went to pick up
the money, did he say...
you can't trust Kenichi
I'm your insurance
if anything happens
If you knew that, why ask?
So Papa Yang called
Cui-hu yesterday, too
Remember?
The cheaters and the cheated
We're the side that chests
Think Why were you
able to fool me?
If you can't trust me,
try someone else
Anyway,
the plan won't change
Take care
Hello?
I'm glad I was in time
I don't die that easily. So?
Fu-chun's father died of
lung cancer five years ago
His mother's on welfare
in Chiba
His elder brother's
in prison for murder
Fu-chun's the next brother
Then there's two girls.
One died at four in China
The younger one's
Japanese name is Machiko...
Fu-lian in Chinese
What?
Her family calls her
Xiao-lian
She's wilder than
her brother
She ran with a gang in Chiba
did robberies, everything
She had trouble with a guy...
then slept with her eldest
brother so he'd help her
He killed the guy,
went to prison...
So she did the same thing
with Fu-chun
She's the kind
who'll do anything
Rumor has it she
even killed someone
Do you want to kill me?
I didn't think
you'd come back...
That I'd never see you again
No, no...
I'd like to know more about.
Fu-chun's little sister
You found out, hub...
I'll tell you the truth.
If you like.
We've still got some time
When we came to Japan
we couldn't speak Japanese...
We had no money...
Kids picked on us...
I already knew
I was raped by a gang
The leader owned me
He'd give me to other gangs.
...and let
then do what
they liked with me
I couldn't take it
I went to my older brother
I slept with him
He killed three of
them for me...
and went to jail
And then...
Fu-chun came to me...
wanting me to sleep with him
I ran away
when I was 17
Then last year
Fu-chun found me in Nagoya
I swear to you...
it was rape
He moved into my place
took all my money...
He'd hit me...
He even got me pregnant
I was pregnant with
my own brother's baby
I had an abortion
Kenichi... let's run away
Forget everything...
the plan, killing Yuan...
I've got some money
Let's go somewhere...
we don't have to think about
who's betraying who
Let's go now
It's too late, Xiao-lian.
We can't go back now
It's gotten too big. There's
nothing I can do alone
Even if I know it'll fail,
I have to go through with it
Anyway, the place
you want to go...
is only a dream
Get changed. It's time
You kill Fu-chun
Boss...
Hello? Oh, hello, Mrs. Yang
Fine, thanks
His wife's there, too
There won't be a problem
Mr. Yuan's on line 2
Let's get this over with
and have New Year's dinner
Hey, what's going on?
Tell me
Go away Get lost
Look out
Two strangers at 10 o'clock
Right, I'll do'em all
Hello?
He's coming
Right
You head for the
meeting place
Yuan's right on time
OK
You're early
I wasn't downstairs...
He says he's happy to be
dining out this New Year's
You're too kind...
Yuan's crossing the street
He's crossing the street now
Can you hear me?
Kenichi
I've been looking for you
What's up
Listen, can you help me?
I want a Hongkong
lottery ticket
Mom, have you seen Xu-rui?
NO. Isn't he with you?
It's 500 million yen
Later
Go on
Move
Kenichi
What are you doing here?
I want to be here
Get going
Eat this
Down
Run
You, too?
Now it all makes sense
I told you to get away,
didn't I?
This was Fu-chun's mess
till you stuck your nose in
Anyway, you're still only
the mistress
Now this guy's the boss
Don't forget, Sun-chun...
you've still got
Qian-Bo to contend with
We'll give him
your body and Fu-chun's
Everything's under control
Just to recap...
Your guys shot Fu-chun...
Who killed Yuan?
Cui-hu's men.
Thanks for bringing
him into it
That's it Papa Yang's taking
Shinjuku from Mr. Ye
Cui-hu joins him...
Without Yuan
the Shanghai group
loses power...
It's like
The Romance of
the Three Kingdoms...
Now I get it!
You want to be boss of
the Shanghai group!
Which makes this guy
the cur who betrays his lord
for a woman
I'm tired of being kept
Mr Yang's going to give me
all the clubs in Kabukicho
Not bad, huh?
So where are we going?
You wanted to kill Fu-chun,
didn't you?
Hey, Can I have a smoke?
Sure
Can I get that?
Make it quick
Hello? OK
The lottery's out
What's the number?
Freeze
Xui-Hong
Freeze
Xiao-lian...
Xiao-lian... Xiao-lian...
Xiao-lian...
Do your brother a favor
Send me away
Goodbye... big brother
Go to the Tao Yuan with all
these cops around?
Papa Yang and Mr Ye are
having a meeting
I have to get things
straight for us right now
Let's go back
Already? Let's go
Kenichi
Hi, Kenichi
Kenichi
What's wrong?
Surprised I'm still alive?
I have to talk to
you three gentlemen again
Especially Mr Qian-Bo
the new Shanghai group boss
What happened tonight?
Well, let's say Xui-Hong and
her boyfriend
Sun-chun joined up...
with Wu Fu-chun...
to eliminate their boss,
Yuan Cheng-gui
But they fell out,
shot each other to death...
and now the police get
an anonymous tip from me...
that there are three bodies
at a certain place
What do you think?
That could work
What do you think, Mr Ye?
Mr Ye says that's
fine with him...
but that we'll need
the Shanghai group to agree
Sun-chun was
an ambitious man
The people under him will
confirm that
Let's leave it at
that for now
That settles Kenichi, then
The problem of this woman
is a little more difficult
What problem?
Three days ago
Mr Ye had a phone call from
Nagoya...
asking him to find
Wu Fu-chun and
his girlfriend
It seems they robbed
an underground bank there...
killed two of its staff
and stole 60 million yen
Now, if Wu Fu-chun is dead...
then perhaps we might have
this lady return the money
If she can't
this is a serious loss of
face for Mr Ye
He will not be happy
What happened is...
she started this whole thing
She schemed to have
Yuan kill Wu Fu-chun...
so she'd have all the money
This was all about money?
Mr Ye suggests
people be told...
that she put Xui-Hong
and Sun-chun up to it
What if she returned it?
That would only be a start
Where's the money?
I bought a condo
A smart move...
or a stupid one...
If she sold the condo?
Mr Ye says he cannot wait
that long
This must be settled tonight
Then how about this...
Enough of this
Be grateful we've left
you alive
No, wait...
It's Mr Ye who's
behind all of this
He's trying to take over
Kabukicho
Mr Ye and Qian-Bo
They had a falling out
and shot each other
And now Yokohama
and Shinjuku are yours,
right?
It's OK
Why didn't you kill Yang?
Someone's got to tell
the police what happened
We might get split up
You take this
How did you know Yang would
kill Qian-Bo?
He was setting Xui-Hong up...
so he'd control
the Shanghai group
And he'd been aiming at Ye's
position for a long time
I got him there
that much faster
That's why he let you go?
He's very smart,
is Papa Yang...
He sure is
He thought you'd
get away from
Xui-Hong...
and show up back here
But you're clever, too,
Kenichi
Imagine! Leaving by the roof
But I'm a smart guy, too
Shall we take a drive?
All this shit
you've stirred up tonight
is a godsend for me
I won't be
Yang's stooge forever
All I was supposed to do
was deliver you two to Yang
Now if I need
a witness about today
to keep Mr Yang honest...
I can have one of you
Just which one of you
isn't going to be
an easy choice
The one I choose has to die,
you see
Dead men tell no tales
It'd be nice to have
a pretty girl to play with...
Can't you just let
the both of us go?
If I do that, he'll just
send someone else to get you
No. One of you dies
and the other goes free
Wouldn't you like
to be with me?
Hands off
You think I didn't know
you had a gun
You're a smart girl.
Think about it
I don't think
you'll shoot me
Kenichi What did I tell you
I told you to give her to me
Go on, Xiao-lian, Shoot
What he says makes sense
Don't think about it
Go on
Shoot
Great What a climax
Damn That bitch
was really going to
shoot you
She blew her chance
Well, that's how it goes
Sooner or later
she'd kill whoever
ended up with her, you or me
She's bad luck.
That's all it is
Finish her off
I shouldn't have gone
into her room
I shouldn't have
opened her trunk
She was stronger than me
She knew exactly
what she wanted...
and she'd do anything
to get it
Maybe she was
the only way I had...
to get out of
this shithole of Kabukicho
Kenichi...
It's snowing...
That's nice
How long did I stand there
holding her?
Did it really snow?
I don't really remember
I vanished from Kabukicho
for a while
Later Cui-hu invited me
to join him
He said I'd become
emotionless...
a completely
cold-blooded animal
And that made me the perfect
partner for him
Two years later,
Mr Yang became
don of the Chinese
mafia in Tokyo
For his 70-Th birthday...
People came from
all over Japan
There was a rumor...
I would appear to
avenge Natsumi
That was wrong
I was there to take
Shinjuku from him
But Natsumi...
who was Natsumi, anyway?
