"Good" "Kurata, I've the deeds of your building" "Hand over your seal." "I paid Yoshii eight million for you" "You call yourself a boss?" "It's money and power that count." "Hand over your seal" "That's Tetsu's coat." "Set your seal" "What have you done with Tetsu?" "Hand over your seal" "The scum!" "She's my girl!" "Set your seal to it and I'll deal with the girl" "Set your seal to it and I'll deal with the girl" "Or shall I call the cops?" "Which will it be, Kurata?" "The police" "Why not report Yoshii's murder, too?" "I'm holding a gun." "Go to the wall" "You have the gun that killed Yoshii" "We'll call it quits today." "Keep the deeds for a while" "Lovers' suicide or murder?" "Forensic tests on bullets" "Otsuka made it seem that Mutsuko killed Yoshii." "They'll check my gun" " If Otsuka doesn't talk..." " He can't be trusted" "But we know he killed Yoshii." "If he tries anything..." "He wants my building." "What's his next move?" "But it was a mistake to kill her" "Shall we leave that to Tetsu?"

"Kenji's a rat." "He not only defied you, he's with Kurata's pal" " Who is Kurata's pal?" " Umetani." "He runs the Western Saloon" "Tetsu said he'd take the blame for killing Mutsuko" "Then we'll just have to go through with things, too" " Going to do it?" " It's war between Kurata and me" "It's easy to lick him, he's disbanded his group" " When?" " Tonight" "You can get even for your girl" "I'll drill holes in their bellies" "Get my men" "Trouble, boss" "Tamura's group is helping Kurata" " How do you know?" " I saw Tetsu and Tamura together" "That's bad." "If Tamura is involved things will get hot" "Tetsu did it." "He asked Tamura" "Tamura or not, what do we care?" "Fujimura, what would you do?" "Tetsu is the problem" "Leave Tetsu to me, boss." "I'll run him out of Tokyo" "Just watch me" "If Otsuka gets Tetsu, then he won't want the building?" "Yes, Tetsu is the thorn in both sides" "An insult!" "Tell Otsuka we're both involved in Yoshii's murder" "I won't sacrifice my man for an easy way out" "Now get out" "I hate to leave you, but please let me go" " Has Kumamoto said anything?" " No, it's my own idea" "If I stay, things will get worse, involving Tamura, too" "Please agree" "I should have left sooner" "I was worried about you" "You please me, Tetsu" " I can go?" " Take care of yourself" "You, too, sir" "Japan's big enough." "I'll find somewhere to live as a Tokyo drifter" "I see." "Tetsu, the man from Tokyo" " Take this" " I don't need it" "Idiot." "Money's always useful." "I'd be upset if you were stranded" "I'll accept it, then" "Eat before you go." "I won't be seeing you for some time" "No, it'll be harder to go" "Good luck, sir" "Tetsu, wait" "Call Shimada at Shonai, and bring writing material" "Go to Shimada's place in Shonai" "I don't want you to have a hard time." "I'll phone Shimada and write to him" " Shonai, sir" " So quickly?" "Hang up" "I'll ring later" "What is it?" "Nothing" "Take good care of yourself." "See Chiharu before you go" "Where are you?" "What, Shonai?" "I'll call Chiharu" " What's the name of it?" " Charm Lady." "Try it" "Chiharu!" "Telephone" "Detective Sakai" "I'm Senzo, of the South Group" "We've been waiting for you to come" " For me?" " We can beat North Group now" " Trouble with North Group?" " Yes, over new territory" "I've come to a bad place." "I don't want trouble, so why get involved?" "Don't feel you have to help us" "But Otsuka's pal heads the North Group" "Boss!" "Men from Tokyo have come to help him" "If he knows you're here, he'll challenge us" "Shut up!" "We have a guest" "The boss wants me to take you to a hotel" "We can manage without your help" "I've reformed, but is it right to let them down?" "Help us, Tokyo man!" "Is Tetsu here?" "I'm Otsuka's man, Tanaka." "Come and fight if you're a man" "Stinking farmer!" "It's Tetsu!" "Watch out!" "My range is 10 metres" "15, 14, 13, 12... 10 metres" "Why didn't you kill me?" "For being kind, you'll have to go to hell" "I'll put an end to the legend of your charmed life" "Tatsuzo means it." "What shall I do?" "What can I do?" "Pal!" "It's me!" "I can't kill Tetsu like that" "The safety-catch is on" "Shooting Star" "Don't get familiar" "I was Otsuka's man, but now I'm a loner." "Don't get familiar" "Sorry I had to show you this." "To think I'd be saved by you, Ken" "We're not enemies now" "People always spoke of you and Otsuka." "Why did you leave him?" "Being a loner is better" "You're alone" "You're on the road yourself." "You'll soon know how a drifter feels" "No, you've lost your sense of obligation" "Is that bad?" "It's hard to read people's minds." "Don't trust Boss Kurata too much" "I disagree" "Your eyes bothered me." "Maybe I'm getting old" "I'll stay until you're better" "You're with Umetani, Mr. Kurata's pal in Sasebo?" "It's snowing again" "He's gone" "Drifting... drifting..." "Kyushu, Southern Japan" "Sasebo" " Tetsu of the charmed life" " You use a light punch" "I'm not much older than you" "Boss Kurata wrote telling me to expect you." "Sit down" " Shooting Star?" " He's called in to thank me" " He's here?" " Staying a while" "I'm leaving." "Thanks, anyway" "Why?" "Trouble with him?" "I hate ingratitude" "I thought he was old-fashioned." "You're worse" "Maybe you'd better go" "A pretty unpleasant guy is here" "That crazy guy is a Minato Group man" "Ordered to find you?" " So I'll drift again?" " Leave it to me." "I hate them, too" "I don't want to bother you." "I'll drift" "No, I couldn't face Boss then" "Better than all the French, English and Americans together" "Pal" "I don't want to fight you" "If I get him, my job's done" "Look." "Tetsu's not moving" "Throw down your gun." "It's the end of the Viper" "Dead?" "Even the end of a killer isn't pleasant" "Duty-bound to Otsuka" "Tetsu, your eyes haven't changed since we last parted" "I owe you a debt for saving me, but I hate ingratitude" "Be friends" "I like him." "I want to save him the pain of being betrayed" "I know, but Kurata can be trusted" "What shall we do?" "Compromise?" "He didn't lose on the building" "But he killed Yoshii" "Otsuka's idea, so he must have thought it over" "It's not a trap, is it?" "Let's see him, then we can take it or leave it" "All right, shall we try?" "Rub out Tetsu?" "How can I do that?" "The Minato Group reports that Umetani is hiding him" "So what?" "Umetani can rub him out, then you and I can be friends" "Promise, and you can have this" "Boss, ask him about other conditions" "I've two more." "The building is yours." "Lease it to me for twenty million" " In what?" " Cash" " And the other condition?" " Give me Chiharu" " But she's Tetsu's" " That's why I want her" "Tetsu's dead" "Dead" "He'll be rubbed out, anyway." "She'll give up" "Take it" "Tetsu's the problem" "If he's arrested, we'll be in trouble" "We'll both end up in prison" "Boss, better guard against that" "Tokyo calling" "Mr. Kurata?" "Yes, Tetsu's fine" "Rub him out, or you're in trouble" "But Tetsu's..." "Never mind." "I'll send men, too." "Kill him" "Understand?" "He's back" "Poor boy" " Otsuka's going?" " I don't know" " The police?" " Don't you see?" "Tetsu's dead" "Slam Mr. Kurata and you'll pay for it" "I'm staking my life" "He wouldn't join hands with Otsuka and rub me out" "Don't disillusion me" "I know, so get out of here." "Umetani may kill you" "Stop it, or I'll really get mad" "Even Umetani's bound by ties." "He'll kill you" "If you don't get it, return to Tokyo" "Sure." "I want to see the truth for myself" "I'll hold him" "Thanks" "Mr. Umetani" "At first I meant to kill him" "Then I wondered who would profit from it" "I'll tell him how you felt some day" "He's decent" "But it's hard to handle that sort when they become furious" "He'll do it." "I really don't want him to" "But he'll have to go through it once" "Chiharu!" "You can't make her sing" "I will." "Initial training is important" "Stop!" "You let Tetsu die." "What will you do with her?" "Chiharu, I'll take you home" "Sing, or he dies" "Betrayer!" "Get my men!" "I'll break up this hell, or there's no future for me" "Drop your gun" "A boss's true colours?" "It's one of those things." "Die" "Boss, I've no choice" "Take it in memory of me" "I'm not your man any more" "A drifter doesn't need a woman" "I can't walk with a woman" "Flowers that say good-bye to dreams" "Wither, and the dreams will die" "If I die, I'll die like a man" "For me, loyalty comes before love" "I'm a Tokyo drifter"
