"High tide is coming soon." "You might as well spend some time kissing!" "Oh, I'm so glad you weren't hurt!" "Be seeing you!" "In your face!" "Thanks to you Daimon-san," "We can finally open the Sukiyaki House in New York." "This is just a little thank you from me." "Thanks..." "Hong Kong, New York..." "The Sukiyaki House of Ebihara Tourism is a rising dragon." "Of course it's partly how good our sukiyaki is," "But the foreigners just love our Geisha service." "Daimon-san," "Please keep supplying us with your Geisha girls." "Well, that's up to you." "You are always treated as the great CEO," "But I'm still in your shadow." "I'm getting fed up with it." "Well, I can't do much about your position in the firm on such a short notice..." "Ebihara-san, our relationship is based on give-and-take." "How about making me your partner?" "That won't hurt." "Well, Think about it." "Hello, Takako-san." "How are you?" "Hello." "Daimon-san, I have a favour to ask you." "Takako!" "Daimon-san is here for business." "Oh, no." "I'm happy to help Takako-san." "Boss." "Did you call me?" "Yes." "This is the man." "How about him?" "You look competent." "Etou, the daughter of Ebihara Tourism wants your help." "She wants to wipe out Maki of the 13 steps," "And the Stray Cats gang to the core." "Will you do that for her?" "You will, right?" "I don't want to get involved in some cat fight." "How rude of you." "Why don't you let a pimp take care of them?" "Well, then." "Actually, it might be interesting to try his suggestion." "Hi there, Ojii-san!" "Who are you?" "Come on, I know you are happy to see me." "The Maki Huga I know..." "Is not the kind of girl..." "Who would leave..." "A dying old man alone for 2 months." "I'm sorry." "You were fighting again, weren't you?" "Oh, stop giving me lectures!" "Or else I'll return your favourite sake." "No!" "I know there's something here you want to see." "Yes, yes." "I wonder how Kiichi is doing?" "He's probably devoted himself to martial arts somewhere." "Like the Rocky Mountains, where there are no post offices." "Gees, I worry about you guys too much" "Just their luck for living..." "With an orphan like me." "Cheer up and have a drink." "My brother will become a professional martial artist and return one day." "Then the three of us can live together, like before." "Goddamn it, stop giving me false hope." "Ojii-san, since when are you a crying drunk?" "That's silly talk." "You have a drink, too." "You know I won't drink a single sip of alcohol." "Oh, who cares?" "Have a drink." "Okay, then." "Only one glass." "Yes, yes, one drink is fine." "Here you go." "It makes me happy when you drink." "Cheers." "It's good, eh?" "Nah." "It's not good..." "Nina waits alone in the drizzling rain." "She doesn't accuse anyone." "Throwing away the book she was reading," "Made love to you, your skin, your true face..." "Kaoru, there goes your bad habit again." "No it's not that!" "We might be able to find out where Maki's brother is." "Really?" "He claims to have seen Maki's brother in Los Angeles." "I'm Nina Nakaoka from Pacific Corporation." "Nice to meet you." "I was in Los Angeles a month ago," "And met a martial artist called Kenichi Huga." "He asked me to visit his family upon my return." "So, what is Maki's brother doing now?" "That, I'm sorry to say..." "Well, it's a long story." "How about we talk about it over dinner?" "C'mon, let's go." "Oh, Nina." "I'll never forget..." "Forgive me." "I'll do anything." "Be with me." "Oh, Nina." "If I were to choose now," "I'd never ever let you girls go." "Oh, Nina..." "What is this?" "What do you think you're doing?" "Shut up." "Stay quiet." "Momoe?" "Shinobu!" "Where is everyone?" "Sara?" "!" "Aya?" "!" "Kaoru?" "!" "Sara?" "!" "Where is everyone?" "Maki!" "Look!" "Maki!" "Maki!" "Help!" "Help!" "Maki..." "Help!" " Maki!" " Maki!" "Help!" "Help!" "All of you!" "Look at you." "Shame on you!" "No Maki, you've got it wrong." "I don't wanna hear excuses." "That hurts Maki." "We did it for you!" "A guy told us he knew where your brother was." "They trapped us!" "You're stupid!" "You're all stupid!" "Damn it..." "They're not gonna get away with this!" ""Ebihara Tourism New York Branch Opening Party"" " Well, I'm counting on you." " Excuse me, Boss, the Chief is here." "Hello, Ebihara-san." "Congratulations on opening a new branch." "Oh, thank you for coming all the way here." "So, have you thought about forming a partnership?" "I'd rather you not talk about it at such happy event." "Let me add something to your happiness." "What if I marry your daughter?" "Then the joint management problem will be solved instantly." " Stop joking with me." " I'm not joking." "It's an official proposal." "I see you've gotten a swollen head." "No, I began to fancy her very much recently." "Your daughter isn't a child anymore." "Ebihara!" " Boss?" " Yes." "Skinhead!" "Stop!" "C'mon, C'mon!" "Not that way!" "Come here!" "This way!" "Come!" " Who do you think you are?" " Move yourself!" " What?" " C'mon, C'mon." "Damn!" "This way!" "Who the hell are you?" "What do you think you're doing?" "You'll see how cruel we can be." "C'mon." "Hey you, stop trying to escape." "Erika, C'mon rip the kimono off quickly." "That's quite the skin." "Let's just get it done quickly." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "You won't be able to marry a decent man now, eh." "Maybe it's time for you to stop acting all posh and stuck up?" "Here you are." "C'mon." "Just get off of here." "Now!" "Now." "Walk home." "Your house is far from here." "You will dishonor your tattoo if you cry." "Serves you right!" "Yeah, I got it!" " I did it!" " All right!" "Who are you?" "So you are here." "I was waiting for you." "Give me back the girls." "That's only if you can defeat me." "I thought that you girls could settle your own matters," "But I can't just keep eating free meals, apparently." "Here I come." "Spare me nothing." "Hello, Inspector Katagiri." "Is there more?" "Stop!" "You're under arrest for first-degree burglary." "Be quiet." "Don't try to escape." "You tricked me!" "You coward!" "Boss!" "What is this all about?" "Shut it!" "Inspector Katagiri, I appreciate your help." "C'mon." "Come this way." "Boss!" "It's none of your business." "Don't you get it?" "I'm gonna make them suffer more than I did." "She'll be taught a lesson." "You're the one who needs to be taught a lesson!" "Peace, Honour, Dreams..." "People idyllically sing for them." "But I'm never gonna bask in the sun." "A stark moor is my cup of tea." "Even the stray cat..." "That is just a mask." "The claw that cuts is the sword of the noble." "After all, this world is 13 steps." "People may rise up to the heavens," "But today is the day of the fallen flower." "Hm." "Alright." "Maki Huga, you will be placed in the 7th cell." "But before that..." "But before that, the newbie has to get butt naked." "Right, Ma'am?" "You know the routine." "You will take off your strange clothes, and put on prison blues." "But that attitude of yours won't get you far in here." "Take misery for misery." "Take a look at what you have done..." "And know your situation well." "Maruki, please." "Come this way." "Hello." "Is this Daimon corporation?" "This is Akai from Aizen Juvenile corrective institution." "Can I speak to your CEO please?" "Yes." "Please!" "Forgive me!" " You traitor!" " Bitch!" "This way!" "Forgive me!" "Please forgive me!" "Not a chance." "You sold us to this place." "Help..." " Let's do this." " Okay." "I'm gonna burn." "Help..." "Let's welcome the next newbie in the same way." "Good idea." "We have orders from the big boss, right?" "We have things to settle between the newbie and us anyways." "She's peeing!" "We need a plug from the next time, eh?" "I don't wanna get my hands all dirty." "Hey!" "She's here." "We are going to pretend that you were sleeping because you had a fever." "There." "Ah." "I see that you guys are behaving." "Everyone, she is Maki Huga." "Take good care of her." "Got it?" "Hey, Newbie." "You haven't forgotten my face, have you?" "Nope." "You are the rat in the Ginga gang, aren't you?" "Huh." "This ain't the outside world." "If our boss snaps her fingers," "Your head's gone." "This is the 1st avenue to hell!" "No wonder there are so many ugly brats in here." "What did you say?" "It seems like you've forgotten Maki of the 13 steps." "Sir, I've brought them." "What is this all about?" "Using these kind of people to summon me?" "Hello." "That's because you are being indecisive." "I would like you to give me some answers today." "First of all, about the joint operation." "So?" "I spent 20 years building Ebihara Tourism as it is today." "I don't need anyone else." "I see." "Then what about my marriage with Takako-san?" "Marriage between you and I?" "No, I didn't think it worth mentioning." "You are joking, aren't you?" "Takako could marry into any high-class family." "I have no choice but to say no." "Don't kid with me!" "So much for a "good" family." "Making me do all the dirty work, you bastard." " Hey!" "What are you doing?" "!" " Come with me!" "Come!" " What are you doing?" " What do you think you're doing?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Look!" "There you go." "Let's go!" "Give some to me too." "Then you are working today too, okay?" "Boss, one of the girls bit her tongue off." "Look!" "This is what I am doing for you." "This is how I'm taming the geishas of your Sukiyaki House." "No way!" " I wanted to make an example of them." " Don't boast!" "Did you think I would work for nothing?" "I was helping you out..." "Because I thought selling them would be good for business." "No you mustn't!" "Make him stop!" "Shut your mouth!" "You might have been a well-off girl till today," "But not anymore." "If you mess with me," "Then I'm selling you overseas, too!" " No!" "Stop!" " Look!" "Now you know how dirty you are!" "I don't know." "It's got nothing to do with me!" "So, what's the deal?" "I'm sorry for making you come all the way here." "I'm afraid of what I've been doing." "I heard about the incident with the boss." "What should I do?" "Well, I'm not in the position to..." "But you slapped me last time." "I'm not in a position to give advice." "Etou..." "Love me..." "Make love to me." "I'm scared!" "My lady..." "So it's about that woman..." "Maki..." "It's not that." "I promised myself..." "That I'd never go back to mainstream life when I got banned from the boxing-ring." "Can a rich girl like me love this?" "Etou." "My lady..." "I know one thing you must to do." "Tell me." "You need to help the Stray Cat gang locked up underground..." "Before they get sold overseas." "But the boss..." "Things won't get better unless you do this." "I'll help you out." "Etou, You know very well how traitors are treated, don't you?" " Etou!" " Take him down, quickly!" "No, Stop, What are you doing?" "!" "Teaching you a lesson." "Stop!" "What are you doing?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Etou!" "Etou!" " My lady, run!" " No, Etou!" "Now!" "Run!" "You are all going to hell!" "Kill me." "Nah." "You are going to live in disgrace." "Guys, crush his hands so that he can never use them again." "I love you." "How much do you love me?" "I love you." "You've been working, right?" "Is there any news about Ebihara?" "My boss is trying to cut you off forever." "What?" "Yeah." "He is trying to work with a Yakuza gang called Kanto Kyou-yu kai." "Bastard!" " Sir, Do come back soon." " Oh." "Yes." "Take care, sir." "Shindou, can I give you a ride?" "Oh that's okay." "I'm staying with a friend today." "Oh I see." "See you then." " Good night." " Yes." "Hey driver, he's going home." " Sir, I'm sorry I didn't realise." " Okay." "She's asleep." "Now's our chance." "Finally, the boss will praise us." "I think this will work." "Oh my god!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "What's the matter?" "Maki did it!" " What?" " Put out the fire!" "Put it out!" "You!" "Maki-san." "Please keep it within 10 minutes." "What do you want?" "I need a favour." "I want you to get out of here." "What kind of surprise is this?" "My father was killed by a Yakuza Boss." "You were framed." "If I testify, it'll work out." " If I must, I'll pay you anything." " I refuse." "Maki-san..." "Your friends, too..." "It's none of your business." "We'll take care of this problem ourselves." " Maki-san!" " Quit it!" "You used to have guts." "Fine then." "I'll do it myself, even if I have to sacrifice my life." "Enough talking." "Go back home." "I will." "But remember this..." "Your friends are committing suicide," "And are being sold overseas right now." "All while you are quitting on me." "What?" "!" "Who died?" "Someone called Shinobu." "Shinobu..." "Damn it!" "What's the matter, Maki?" "Keep it together!" "Stand up." "Get up!" "Is that Karate you're doing?" "Maki, How can you win if you're like this?" "Maki." "Be strong." "Become strong!" "No!" "No!" "Help me!" "Help me, please!" "Spare me..." "Spare me." "Help!" "Boss, give her punishment." "Help me, please." "I wasn't taking it easy on Maki at all." "You lost the newbie." " Boss, I tried my best!" " Shut up!" "Boss..." "The punishment..." " Pass it to me!" " Yeah!" "Is this it?" "Here!" "This way, this way, this way!" "Over here!" "Nice!" "So you're the one making a fuss about being Maki of the 13 steps?" "You're the big boss?" "I've been waiting for you." "Get in." "Only one of us will get out." "That's our boss!" "This time, Maki is going down the 13 steps." "You're a little fragile for a yakuza puppet." "You were plotting with the wardens." "You're going to help me." "I shall accept your marriage proposal." "What made you change your mind?" "Are you plotting something?" "Even if I were..." "This should be a good proposal for you." " I see." "It might be interesting to take the bait." "But on one condition." "I don't want you messing with things after all this talk." "I know you're in mourning," "But the engagement party will be at your mansion, tomorrow." "Sure." "Now then," "As your future husband, I want to show you something." "Come." "Damn you!" "Trying to escape with that nail, eh." "Etou!" "Tomorrow, Takako and I are getting married." "What do you think?" "Takako, isn't there anything you wanna say to him?" "What about him?" "He deserves this for trying to touch me." "You really think so?" "He's a pig." "You're going to torture him to death, right?" "Yes." "Beat him with this." "That's novel." "More!" "What's up with him?" "Good." "Forget about him," "And about the girls from the Stray Cat gang." "I'm no philanthropist." "Let's go." "Maruki-sensei." "Maruki-sensei!" "Akagi-sensei!" " Maruki-sensei." " Sensei!" "Maruki-Sensei!" " Akagi-sensei!" " Maruki-sensei..." "Sensei..." "What's this?" "Maki!" "You dog!" "Boss, I'm sorry" "It's okay." "Hurry up." "See you again." "Everyone, thank you!" "I see that you are ready for the honeymoon." "Etou..." "Maki!" "Did you come to save your friends?" "They aren't here." "Come!" "What's up with you?" "What are you doing?" "You all look awful!" "All of you!" "You call yourselves Stray Cats..." "And Maki's friends?" "Ekko!" "Aya!" "Kaoru!" "Sara!" "Tomoe!" "Hang in there!" "Open your eyes!" "Maki, Leave this place to me and go to Takako." "She is going to kill herself" "You bastard." "You aren't going anywhere." "As everyone is aware, Takako is in mourning," "But we will still carry on the engagement ceremony..." "Between the Boss and Takako-san." "So then," "Doing away with formalities," "Let us proceed to the cake-cutting." "You filthy rats!" "How dare you make my friends cry!" "Have you gone out of your mind?" "Maki of the 13 steps will send everyone straight to hell!" "Die!" "Kill her!" "You were planning to kill him from the beginning, weren't you?" "Him?" "I'm the only one that he truly loves!" " So you betrayed my father!" " So what!" " You're not getting away with this!" " I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "Etou-san!" "The thirteen steps..." "Maki..." "I'm honored to have known you." "Etou-san!" "Damn it!" "Bitch!" "Skinhead!" "Skinhead!" "Skinhead!" "Kill her!" "Damn it." "When oppressed, I have a burning urge to retaliate." "If someone slaps me, I'll kick them back." "This world is 13 steps after all." "One day in the future, death will have its way." "Just like the life of a flower..." "Subtitled by The Shinsengumi" ":)"
