"His sponsor, the president of Nihon Seiron... and his old friends are here to celebrate his success." "Aonari is the only author today who can write... the entire truth about our spirits and our lives." "He's weathered many hardships up to this day." "He is now a resolute, confident warrior." "When he was in college, he used to say... that writing was man's most important job." "He said, "I don't write with my pen alone..." ""but with my heart, my guts, my body and my soul."" "His dream is about to be realized." "Let me celebrate his success with my speech tonight." "Kiratsune!" "I'm so happy you're here." "Please join us." "Master, I heard everything from here." "Your father must be so proud of you in heaven." "Congratulations." "Thank you, Kiratsune." "Everybody." "Please let me introduce..." "Mr. Ota Tsunekichi from my hometown, Sanshu Kira." "No, thank you." "Why not?" "I've reserved a seat for you." "No thanks, please, come with me." "Before I came today, I visited Hishakaku." "You did?" " Yes..." "He'll be released soon." "Really?" "That's great." "He was sorry that he couldn't make it today." "He can't do anything in jail." "But I brought something he made for you." "Everyone, look at these tiny straw sandals." "The model for my novel, Koyama Kakutaro... also known as "Hishakaku," sent them to me from prison." "I feel his kind spirit in these small sandals." "The soul of my novel is packed in these sandals." "I am deeply moved to hear that he'll soon be released." "My friends..." "I propose a toast to Hishakaku... who's now spent almost four years in jail." "Cheers for Mr. Koyama Kakutaro!" "Cheers!" "Hishakaku is returning." "You've been waiting for a long time." "You can never let go of him." "Otoyo, I'm growing old now." "When he gets out, why don't you come to Sanshu?" "You don't have to make a decision right away." "Please talk to Hishakaku." "I can't!" "I can't do that!" "What are you yelling about?" "Sakata, you startled me." "I was the one who was startled." "Why were you screaming?" "You look pale." "What's wrong?" "Tell me." "I can help." "What are you talking about?" "Do you want to run away before Hishakaku gets out?" "You've waited for him all these long years." "I can't understand why you feel this way." "That guy, Miyagawa, he's already dead." "Why are you still worried?" "Otherwise, why wait for him for four years?" "You may laugh at me, but I feel much better after this." "He served his time and he's coming back." "I have no regrets." "Otoyo, Hishakaku's been looking forward to seeing you." "I feel so sorry for him." "But..." "Once you make a mistake, you can't start over." "Even if we decided to get married... we'd never be able to forget about my affair with Miyagawa." "There's no way we can ever forget him." "It will hurt us some day." "I'm crushed that we two can never be together." "I feel like something's cutting me into small pieces." "But if I see Hishakaku suffering before my eyes..." "That will make things even harder for both of us." "It's better never to see him again." "That's best for both of us." "I understand, Otoyo." "I never knew that you felt this way." "Forgive me for being so rude to you." "I still feel sad for Hishakaku." "But you've also had such bad luck." "There's another guy who was born with bad luck." "I'm telling you because this is my only chance." "I like you very much." "I never told you how much because of Hishakaku." "I've been foolish, haven't I?" "Don't laugh at me." "What do you make of Tokyo after four years?" "They're all going to Manchuria." "Manchuria?" "Japan's economy is sinking uncontrollably." "The world has changed a lot." "Yes, it has." "It's changed completely." "The world is growing bitter, and no man stands up for himself." "That's not true." "You two are the last true yakuza." "Otoyo must be waiting to see you." "Otoyo." "Hishakaku's back." "Otoyo!" "Otoyo!" "Listen up, everyone!" "This "Reikosen" is a medicine that treats any kind of illness." "This certificate's been signed by a member of the royal family." "Can you all see it?" "It says..." ""The quality of Reikosen is truly excellent."" "Everyone in the royal family uses this medicine." "So that's means everyone must agree!" ""Reikosen" from China..." "If it was free, you wouldn't expect it to work." "They usually charge one yen for it in hospitals." "But today I'll ask only half!" ""Reikosen" works on all diseases." "Even the royal family swears by it." "What do you say?" "It's a real bargain!" "What're you doing?" "What seems to be the problem, officers?" "You've been illegally using the royal family's seal." "You're under arrest!" "But officer?" " What?" "Let me ask you this..." " What?" "Our bills and coins have the same seal on them." "So?" "That means we're all using the seal illegally." "Doesn't it?" "Silence!" "Arrest him!" "What do you want from me?" "You act pretty sure of yourself, but you can't even run." "What?" " Don't get upset." "Your line about the money was a good one." "I don't have time to chat with you." "Wait." "You want to stay out of jail, you'd better wait here." "You're siding with me?" "Who are you?" "You should introduce yourself first." "Excuse me." "I am Sakata from the Kikyoya Group of Shinjuku." "And you?" "I don't belong to any group right now." "I've been serving time, just got out 10 days ago." "My name is Koyama Kakutaro." "You!" "You're Otoyo's man!" "You know Otoyo?" "Of course I do." "She went missing." "Nobody knows where she's gone to." "I hear you looked after Otoyo's business while I was gone." "Don't mention it." "You killed Narahei for Mr. Kokin." "I admired the way you fought them in Tokyo." "I offered to watch out for Otoyo while you were away." "Thank you so much." "Sorry to trouble you, though I didn't know you then." "I must thank you instead." "You saved Sakata." "It must be destiny." "Why don't you stay here as our guest?" "I know how you feel." "You served with a family, but we're just street peddlers." "So, Hishakaku, I want my guys to learn your spirit." "Brother, my boss is begging you." "So please stay with us." "Thanks for your offer." "I've always worked alone." "Please forgive my selfishness." "You live by the code of the yakuza, don't you?" "Brother, please don't pretend that you don't know me." "My boss offered you a good position, Brother." "If you work with us, it'll be a lot of fun." "Sakata, please give up." "I told you I can't accept the position." "You're sure?" "You won't do it, even if I beg you?" "So, you say you were a yakuza..." "I thought you guys were supposed to help poor and weak people!" "Listen up, I'd do anything for my boss." "Hishakaku..." "I'm not moving until you join us!" "Do what you want with me!" "Put your sandals on." "Our boss is broke." "That's why I can't stay at his house." "Here, have some." " No, thank you." "I thought Kikyoya had a license to sell cotton." "I can't believe your group has no money." "Up until last spring, we were doing very well." "But at the festival of Oibun Shrine..." "When we went there to set up... the Domoto Group from Asakusa was getting their cotton booth ready." "Then, the boss of Domoto Group said..." "Kikyoya, we now have the license to sell cotton." "Please go away." "That's ridiculous!" "Your group's gaining more power, I know." "But it's always been our right to sell cotton." "My mind's made up, and it's done." "You know how I am." "Boss!" "But that's not right!" "Idiot!" "I can't stand you guys!" "They had so many men." "We were beaten in no time." "Then, our boss suddenly fell ill." "Now, Domoto has the license to sell cotton all over Tokyo." "That's against the rules in your business." "What did other bosses say?" "Domoto's been dominating them for a couple of years." "Nobody says anything to them." "Then, you didn't do anything to save your group?" "It's easy to say, but..." "Why don't you show your anger for your boss?" "My anger?" "Yes, your anger." "That what you need to do." " But..." "Sakata, get some cotton ready for me." "Cotton?" "How much?" " As much as you can get." "Hurry up, everybody!" "Here's the cheapest deal in town." "The whole set, a shirt, a badge and belt will be 1.5 yen." "The whole set for only 1.5 yen!" "It's really cheap because the factory's shutting down." "That's why it's incredibly cheap." "This is a great deal!" "A great deal!" "A great deal!" "You're not very good at this." "The factory's closing down!" "This is below wholesale price!" "The belt should cost 1.5 yen by itself!" "Listen up!" "The belt should cost 1.5 yen by itself!" "That's right, the belt should cost 1.5 yen by itself!" "The belt itself should cost 1.5 yen!" "Brother!" "Brother, you're something else!" "Come on, everybody, gather around!" "This isn't a lie!" "Please feel free to touch them." "You're not going to find better quality or price." "Brother, try it like this." "You won't find a better deal in Japan today." "Only one-and-a-half yen for all three." "What are you up to?" "Brother, is this how you show your anger?" "Look!" "Look!" "Quality at this price is a blessing from the gods!" "Would you like to take advantage of this offer?" "Take a look at this." "True cotton is waterproof." "You still don't believe me, do you?" "That's how people are." "This will prove it." "I'll burn it for you." "Smell it." "Doesn't smell like animals, does it?" "That's what real cotton smells like!" "Can I get this one?" "What do you think you're doing?" "You look very surprised." "You're with the Domoto Group, aren't you?" "You've guessed it right." "I'm Osumi, Domoto's daughter." "You've been beating up our gang members." "Thank you." "You've come to thank me, huh?" " Shut up!" "I have no idea who you are, but listen to me carefully." "Domoto has the right to sell cotton products in this area." "If you sell these without our permission... you'll be punished." "You should remember that." "I'll let you go for now." "Why don't you clear off before you get a beat down?" "I remember now." "I heard Domoto's daughter was pretty and smart." "But you aren't at all feminine." "Shut up!" "You're bothering our customers here." "Why don't we have a talk by ourselves somewhere?" "What are you afraid of?" "I don't think you need all these bodyguards." "You men, go." "Mr. Kikyo had the right to sell cotton products in this area." "Your father bullied him and took it away from him." "Don't you think that's terrible?" "We need power to be successful in this world." "It's natural for my father to get the license." "I don't agree with you." "If we seek only power, we are useless." "Street vendors are just like gang members." "We have to follow certain rules." "We value humanity and justice." "You brought me here for a lecture, eh?" "You're mistaken." "All the bosses agreed to transfer the license to us." "If you disagree, you'll have to talk to them." "They get together on January 2nd every year." "Are you going to do it?" "I can't keep my mouth shut." "Osumi looks just like Otoyo." "I'd heard the rumor, but she really is pretty." "Such a tomboy, though." "Otoyo was much more kind and modest." "Sakata, don't ever talk about Otoyo again." "Good morning." "It's cold, isn't it?" "What did I do?" "I'm just bringing these to my boss." "I have rice cakes in the box." "I'm so sorry." "It's New Year's Day." "I'm so sorry!" "You cut me!" "It's so painful..." "Somebody, help me!" "Street vendors are just like yakuza." "We have to follow certain rules." "What's going on?" "We beat up some guy from the Kikyo Group." "Was it Hishakaku?" "No, it was Sakata." "Big deal." "You shouldn't brag over beating up a punk." "Boss is back." "Welcome home." "What are you all doing here?" "There's a lot to do for New Year's." "Father." "About the cotton license..." "What do you think?" "What's wrong?" "It's been a while since we got it." "Don't you feel bad?" "You're the one who suggested that I do it." "I already forgot about the whole thing." "If I didn't say something, you wouldn't have done anything." "Well..." "I made you do something terrible, didn't I?" "It's over." "Forget about it." "I'd do anything for you." "You're the boss." "You know that." "Dad..." "I'm just a girl." "I still don't understand this world." "Please don't say anything." "It's not your fault, Brother." "Keep still or you'll hurt yourself." "We need to hear from him." "You fought against the Domoto." "That's why they did it." "What do you say?" "I do feel sorry for Sakata." "It's easy to apologize." "I hear you told them you don't work for anyone." "Please try not to destroy our group." "Listen!" "If you try to be rude to Hishakaku, you'll answer to me!" "Sakata." "Thank you for saying that." "But your friends were trying to protect you." "Please wait five more days." "I'll bring good news on January 2nd." "Brother." "That's Mr. Yoda from Kagurazaka." "He's boss of a Yakuza group." "They sell stuff, too." "Mr. Domoto is late." "Let me go look." "Wait." "What're you doing?" "You must be Mr. Domoto." "I came to ask a favor." "Can you please stay home?" "He's just been hurt." "Please take him home." "Mr. Domoto is late." "What's going on?" "Who are you?" "I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting." "I'm Koyama Kakutaro, a lone wolf." "I wish you a Happy New Year." "You must be Hishakaku, who killed Narahei." "Yes, that's me." "I assume you have business with us." "But only head men can join this meeting." "Don't you know you'll be punished for doing this?" "Yes, sir." "So, you knew you would." "You're putting your life on the line." "Yes, sir." "Fine, then." "Let's hear what you came to say." "We'll decide how to punish you later." "Thank you." "I've just stabbed Mr. Domoto." "But I do not threaten his life." "I stabbed him because of his cotton license." "Mr. Kikyo always had the license." "Mr. Domoto took it from him by force." "All the bosses backed Domoto at your meeting." "We must follow certain rules in our world." "If we don't, we're not real men anymore." "Sirs, please decide what is best for us." "Please choose Mr. Kikyo or Mr. Domoto for me." "Our men are ready to fight." "They're ready to kill Hishakaku." "Can I let them do it?" "Boss!" "Let's go." "Wait." "Hishakaku..." "We've talked this over." "We've decided not to accept your request." "Because..." "Please wait." "Osumi..." "I am Osumi, Domoto's daughter." "I came here on behalf of my Father." "I wish you a Happy New Year." "Please come closer." "Don't be so modest." "Mr. Yoda." "This was our fault." "May I handle this problem?" "But what will your father say?" "As I said before, I came here on my father's behalf." "I'm making the decision for us today." "Please, go ahead." "Thank you." "I don't have to ask you." "Are you ready?" "Yes, I am." "Let me hear you." "Please grant a cotton license to Mr. Kikyo." "Please leave him a good space at festivals." "Please don't charge him." "Please forgive me for the assault." "Who the hell do you think you are!" "?" "Please, everybody, remain quiet." "I, Domoto Osumi, approve your requests." "Thank you." "Hishakaku, thank you so much." "I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime." "Thank you." " It's nothing." "Brother." "A guy wants to see you." "A guy?" "You wanted to see me?" "Oh, Terakane." "Hishakaku." "It's been a while." "I heard about your great job at the New Year's meeting." "I just wanted to congratulate you." "Thank you for visiting." "I'm glad you're here." "You've taken good care of me for all these years." "I haven't done anything for you, but..." "I have to ask you a favor." "What is it?" "We need a successor for the Kokin Group." "I really want you to do it." "It's not only me." "Everybody wants you to do it." "Thanks, but I can't." "Why don't you do it, Terakane?" "You should re-organize the group." "I've always worked alone." "You've worked for Mr. Kokin a long time." "Brother." "Of course, I'll back you up." "Thank you." "Brother!" "We've sold everything, Brother!" "Thanks for coming, Hishakaku." "As a matter of fact, I was very upset about the decision." "Our new man screwed up everything." "It's the first time I've ever lost." "My daughter asked me." "You know I can't say no to her." "But I really think I did something good." "You asked us not to charge Kikyo." "But you brought some money to us... when most people try not to pay us." "This is something not many people would do." "Thank you for thinking about me." "I admire the way you work." "Boss, thank you." "I am honored." "Hishakaku." "You may laugh at me... but I wish to ask for a favor." "Will you marry my daughter?" "She's strong, but she's a girl after all." "I know how she likes you." "I just want to help her." "I'm not asking you to take over our group." "Mr. Domoto doesn't mind letting her go." "I'm asking you, too." "Please think it over." "Hishakaku." "I'm not the man you're dreaming of." "I've been in jail twice." "I know that." "I've been in love a couple of times." "There's a girl I can't forget." "She looked just like you." "Doesn't that bother you?" "No, I don't care about your past." "I need only know how you feel about me now." "That's all." "That's all!" "That's all..." "It's been a while." "I'm here for a visit." "Kiratsune." "I'm glad you're so well." "When did you arrive?" "Just got here." "I've really missed seeing you." "I'm so happy to see you, too." "There's so much to talk about." "Can you stay for a little while?" "Yes, I can." "Please come in." "Sorry it's such a mess." "Please..." "So, Hyokichi is in Manchuria." "That's right." "The newspaper office sent him there." "He's right near Koanrei." "Wow, that's very far." "Here, have some." "He sent a letter just the other day." "I see." "He saw Otoyo there." "He did?" "Otoyo's in Manchuria?" "I shouldn't tell you." "I thought you'd forgotten all about her by now." "Kiratsune, tell me how she is." "What's she doing in Manchuria?" "His letter didn't say anything about that." "She's not doing well, is she?" "There's no use lying to you." "I'll tell you." "She's a prostitute there." "She told Hyokichi that she couldn't forget about you there." "Water under the bridge." "Let's not talk about it any more." "You said you wanted to talk to me about something." "What was it?" "She's a prostitute there." "I feel so sorry for her." "I really want to visit her there." "But if you go, it may hurt her more." "You could be right." "We will never be together again." "All I can do for her is share her tears." "She's still a very innocent woman." "Please go to see her, Hishakaku." "Osumi..." "Do me this favor." "If she can't be happy there, then marry her." "I can't hate you for that." "But..." "If you find her well, please, come back to me." "I'll wait for you until then." "Thank you." "Please wait." "This is from me." "Please buy her a kimono." "MANCHURIA" "Is Mr. Aonari here?" "I came from Japan." "Where is Mr. Aonari?" "It's Hishakaku!" "Hello, Hyokichi!" "Hishakaku..." "It's been so long." "He came with slippers on." "What?" "Otoyo was kidnapped?" "It happened just days ago." "I don't know what to say." "It was "Bagenko," a bandit horseman." "We couldn't stop him." "I wish she had seen you." "I tried hard to talk her into going back to Japan." "I know you tried." "I'm sure she'd have gone home with you." "Please don't talk about her." "It was worth the trip to see you." "I'm going back to Harbin in a few more days." "My colleagues may get some information about her." "Why not come back to Harbin with me?" "Sure." "It's Ching!" "He's a well-known Bandit chieftain." "His name is Ching Keishu." "He's half Japanese and half Chinese." "Hishakaku!" " Otoyo!" "Let go of me!" "If you want to die, you can die anytime." "But not when we can see you!" "That's my Hishakaku!" "Hishakaku!" "Stop it." "Please let me go." "Okay, I'm going, too." "No, you must return to your newspaper office." "Please leave me to it." "Don't be a fool." "I can't leave you here alone." "You still don't understand?" "If anything happened to you, how could I face Kiratsune?" "Okay, Hishakaku." "I understand you have to do this all alone." "I'll go now." "But please promise me." "Please don't throw your life away." "I know." "I won't give it to you for killing." "It's to keep you alive." "Hyokichi." "Are you all right, Otoyo?" "Pull yourself together, Otoyo." "We're finally here." "I'm glad." "I thought she was about to die." "Thank you, Mr. Ching." "Thank you for bringing back my girls." "I wish I could see Bagenko's face." "Please, have some Sake!" "Girls, the gentleman are waitng for you." "He's yelling at us again." "We're rescued from one mess into another." "We have to sleep with gangsters either way." "This is as bad as it gets." "That's right." "Girls, hurry up!" "Please go." "Please watch Otoyo for me." "Your man's such a brave one." "Otoyo, you're so devoted to him." "Maybe the guy just looked like Hishakaku." "You should return to Japan with Hyokichi." "To Japan...?" "What are you trying to sell here?" "What?" "I'm a Yakuza." "I'm not trying to sell anything." "Don't try to act sneaky." "You have any drugs or weapons?" "Harbin is Boss Kurataka's territory." "If you do any business here without our permision..." "We'll kill you." "You don't understand, do you?" "I don't know anything about you guys." "I have no business with you." "I came here to find my girl." "You're lying." "Tell us the truth." "We're so sorry." "You don't need to apologize." "Shut up!" "You've come a long way to look for your girl." "Such a romantic." "What's so funny?" "You must be Japanese." "That's right." "I'm a Japanese businessman, Kurakata Sannosuke." "You're a brave man." "Do you want to join my group here?" "What?" "Manchuria offers us a lot of opportunity." "We can get rich." "It's more interesting." "Maybe living here has made you lose your Japanese spirit?" "Hey, Mister..." "That was pretty good." "Manchuria is in chaos right now." "Too many crooked businessmen trying to sell their wares." "They just get richer and richer." "Brother." "I'm the boss, Ching Keishu." "You came to see your girl." "I'll take you to her." "Hishakaku." "Hishakaku." "Hishakaku." "Otoyo." " Hishakau!" "Don't worry." "I'm here to rescue you." "I'm taking you home." "Darling..." "Tell me I'm not dreaming..." "I can't believe you're here." "Otoyo." "Let's go home to Japan." "Hyokichi's waiting for us in Harbin." "I can't." "I can't go back to Japan." "How can you say that?" "Let's go home together." "We'll worry about the future later." "I can't!" "I just can't!" "You suffered because I was in jail." "I'm sad for you... but I can't hate you for running away from me." "Please come home with me." "Let's go home." "So long!" "Good bye!" "It was snowing." "We ran through the storm." "It was so cold." "But your hands were so warm." "I said, "Don't go."" "But you had to go." "You were gone for four years." "I couldn't wait for you." "I just couldn't wait for you." "It was my fault." "I was never anger because of what you did." "I'm so happy now." "Now that you're here with me." "I'm so sorry I can't do anything for you." "Darling..." "I'm so happy to be with you." "Otoyo..." "Otoyo!" "I brought some medicine for her." "But I'm too late." "Brother." "I decided to join the group called "Shosakuin."" "I came back to say goodbye to you." "I'm so sorry for your loss." "It's okay." "I'm glad I came here." "I was able to meet you." "Brother!" "Thank you for everything." "Please go." "Don't worry about me." "What's wrong?" "This looks bad." "Bagenko's group is here to get me." "I'm so sorry!" "Please forgive me." "He's not here." "He's lying." "Ching Keishu is upstairs." "Can't you see this gun?" "If you move, I'll kill your boss." "Put your guns down." "I said, put your guns down!" "Mr. Ching, please come down." "Brother." "Let's go." "If you let Ching Keishu go, I won't hurt your boss." "I'm a Yakuza from Japan." "I won't lie to you." "If you come back here again, I'll kill you all." "Everybody, thank you for everything." "Brother, take care of yourself!" "And my best to you!" "THREE YEARS LATER" "THE JAPAN GOVERNMENT CONTINUES ITS COLONIAL POLICY" "Dairen, Hoten, Kitsurin, Choshu, Harbin, and Chichiharu." "We'll be building airfields in those cities." "We'll hire the Manchus for the project." "We'll work them day and night." "We'll need to send some Japanese supervisors in." "These Manchus are pretty wild." "The managers will have to be tough." "Any ideas who we should hire as managers?" "Kurataka, what do you say?" "I'll give it some thought." "You have any ideas?" "Just one." "Tell me." "We can hire them from Yakuza groups." "And their bosses will send some troops there." "These men don't really care about risking their lives." "They'd be perfect for the job." "I see." "As an experienced businessman, you know a good thing when you see it." "Let's do it." "I understand." "I'll talk to all the bosses in Tokyo." "This is for you." "Senkichi." "Tatsu." "Goro." "Mino." "Shigeru." "You'll be going to Manchuria on behalf of the Osaki Group." "I'll give you 10 yen each." "Please work over there for our group." "We're going." "You're doing this for our nation." "Work hard." "Thank you." "You must be joking." "Mr. Kokin established the Kokin Group." "We're a traditional Yakuza group." "We don't serve businessmen for money." "Am I right?" "Please tell Mr. Yoda that the Kokin group isn't some mob." "Dear, do you remember?" "You left for Manchuria on that rainy day." "What made you suddenly think of that?" "To tell you the truth, I was going to kill myself if you hadn't came back." "I'm not sure I believe you." "I knew you would never marry anyone." "You never wanted to start a family, did you?" "Hishakaku always walks alone." "That's what you always said." "But you've changed, just for me." "I'm sorry about that." "You're acting silly." "I knew that..." "I could only be a true man with you by my side." "Darling." " Don't let it get to your head." "You're the perfect girl for a thug like me." "You'll go through a lot of hardship." "I was the one who asked you to marry me." "I'll be okay whatever happens." "Right, Yukichi?" "Hello!" "Mr. Yoda is here, Boss." "He said he couldn't leave until he speaks to you." "The bosses who are close to you won't listen to me." "Hishakaku..." "I've asked you so many times before." "Will you please think about it once more?" "You know I can't do that." "Please don't be so stubborn." "I don't wish to brag, but I have enough money." "It's for our the sake of our country." "You should feel honored." "Just a minute." "You say the job is for our country." "Then, why are you trying to buy me with money?" "I'll risk my life for my country." "I don't need to get paid for it." "You bring me more money every time." "This has to be a business deal." "What?" "If it's really for our country, we should recieve a notice." "We aren't supposed to get money for it." "Do you know who's providing the money?" "It's from that new politician, Mr. Kurataka Sannosuke." "Kurataka?" "Kurataka Sannosuke?" "After hearing that name, I know I can't help you." "What?" "I feel ill." "Please leave now." "I get it." "I'll remember what you said." "What?" "What did you just say about our boss?" "He's behind the times?" "I'll say it again." "To stay ahead of the game, you must follow the tide." "The government is pursuing colonial power." "We must change our ways and follow them." "Our boss is too old-fashioned." "That's why we're losing out." "Is that right?" "That's why I think he's too stubborn." "You don't know what he thinks!" "You just want some government money." "You're an idiot!" "What did you say?" "Sakata!" "Say that again!" "Maybe Boss trusts you, but I can't spare you!" "I'm not too smart, but I have a good memory." "I'll never forget the time you nearly killed me." "Sorry, Honey." "Yukichi wouldn't go to sleep." "Thanks for waiting." "Here, darling, have some." "May I have some, dear?" "What's going on?" "I just feel happy." "You wouldn't take the money he offered." "That makes me happy." "You've been bringing up the past lately." "If father were here, he'd be happy, too." "Thank you." "You trust me." "Of course I do." "I'm your wife." "Mr. Terakane, what happened to you?" "Get a pillow!" "Pull yourself together!" "Kurataka attacked me..." "That bastard." "Sakata, get a doctor!" "Everybody, move him." "Hishakaku..." "You'll be all right." "That's what the doctor says." "Thank you for saving me." "What are you talking about?" "I'm glad we have a man like you." "Brother." "Boss!" "Please come with me." "What?" "Masa did?" "He walked out with five other guys last night." "This is for your group." "What does he want?" "It says, "I need to see you as soon as possible." ""I need your help." ""Please come to Toa Hotel, room number 320, at 6 P.M. tonight."" "It's a very formal letter." "Will you go?" "I'm going." "You shouldn't go." "Shut up." " I can't." "I just have this bad feeling about it." "Idiot." "He's just an amateur." "The letter isn't from Mr. Mizuno Jurozaemon." "No!" "You can't go!" "If you must go, then please take me along." "Sakata..." "They'd laugh at me for bringing you along." "Osumi, please help me get ready." "What's wrong?" "Let me check on Yukichi." "Boss!" "Missus!" "Yukichi." "You're so heavy now." "How are you doing?" "Hishakaku." "Hello." "Please come in." "Yukichi, Grandpa is here." "Sorry." "I heard Masa betrayed you." "There's nothing we could do about it." "Please don't go to Kurataka's tonight." "You know you'll be killed there." "I'm not saying this for you but for Yukichi, your son." "Let's talk this over." "Thank you, sir." "But please, forgive me." "But, Hishakaku..." "Is everything ready?" "Yukichi, go to Grandpa." "Pardon me." "Hishakaku, I..." "I'm going." "I'm Kurataka." "It's been a while." "Thanks for coming." "Please come in." "This way." "So glad you're here." "Hishakaku, please sit down." "I'm fine." "Don't be shy." "Let's relax and talk." "Let's hear what you need from me." "I see." "I'll tell you." "As Mr. Yoda asked you many times... may I borrow 20 of your men for our project?" "As I've told him so many times, I can't do that." "Don't be so stubborn." "I have more money for you." "Don't underestimate me." "I'm not like Yoda." "I won't sell myself for money." "What did you just say?" "Mr. Yoda, please take it easy." "Hishakaku, we've been trying so hard, but you just won't listen." "What's the problem?" "Mr. Kurataka..." "I know you work with many politicians." "You've hurt a lot of people, you know that?" "I'll never forget what you did up north." "Traditional Yakuza don't help big business." "Some may decide to put on uniforms and shoes instead of kimonos and sandals." "Maybe that's the new style." "My men have trained hard for five or ten years." "I can't let you use them to make more money." "I've tried to live as a true man." "I won't let you lay a finger on my men." "I've lost." "I give up." "Many people think we Yakuza are dirt." "But we never abuse people to make money." "Excuse me." "This is your first job." "Kill him." "Thank you for your business." "Thank you." "Who's there?" "Masa?" "Boss, please forgive me." "You're changing your mind?" "I'm not angry with you." "You can come back to us." "Boss!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Why didn't you let me go with you?" "Why?" "Boss!" "You fool!" "Be a good boy." "Don't cry." "You're a big boy." "You're going to be just like Daddy." "It's snowing." "The snow's beautiful, isn't it?" "I wanted Hishakaku to take over my turf." "But he died before me." "It didn't work out the way I had hoped." "Hishakaku has passed away." "But the way he lived the Yakuza life... will stay with me forever."
