"TOEI COMPANY, LTD" "Damn." "Hey, let's go!" "Wait a minute!" "We mistook you a crook we're looking for." "You attack me and then leave without a word?" "Got problem with it?" "There he is!" "Kill him!" "Hey, we're from the Kubo Family of Ikaho." "We're only here to justly discipline a swindler... that acted up in our family's gambling hall." "Don't pretend you don't know!" "You'll pay for this!" "I'm sorry..." "I'm Shoji Yasujiro from Shimousa." "People call me Kobiyasu." "As you may see, I am but a pitiful wanderer." "It's been ten years since I became a wandering gambler... and I have never tried anything underhanded at the gambling table!" "Do you believe me?" "Of course you don't believe me." "A swindle is only a swindle when it's revealed." "Yes." "Allow me to ask you..." "What is your name..." "Ms.?" "I'm the second generation leader of the Yano Family of Kumamoto, Kyushu." "RED PEONY GAMBLER 7:" "HERE TO KILL YOU!" "I'm the second generation leader of the Yano Family of Kumamoto, Kyushu." "RED PEONY GAMBLER 7:" "HERE TO KILL YOU!" "My name is Yano Ryuko."

"You won 3 consecutive games." "What luck you have." "Wait!" "What is it?" "You just cheated." "You might've managed to fool them, but not me!" "I see." "When you lose a game... you make winner look like a crook." "I feel sorry for Shoji." "He was just your victim." "What?" "What're you talking about?" "Lift your hand." "You're hiding a card." "I know that you were going to swap the card... and then blame me with false acusations." "Hey, lady..." "Are you going to pay me back for this?" "Who do you think this person is?" "This is Boss Jiro's blood-related brother!" "I suddenly have the urge to see blood gushing out of your pretty face!" "Cut it out." "Yuki, this has nothing to do with you." "Yuki, don't meddle." "Hey, Kubo, let me handle this." "Stay out of our way!" "Kubo, let's avoid embarrassing ourselves." "Shut up!" "Kill that bitch!" "You don't hear me?" "I said shut up!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "I don't know what just happened here... but you can't scare off guests like that!" "Don't upset these people." "Hey, it's not your place to step in!" "Idiot!" "He's Boss Eijiro of the Omaeda Family." "Boss Omaeda." "It's been a while." "Of course, of course." "Haven't seen you in a long time." "I don't know exactly what's going on here, but let me handle this." "Yes, I will." "Thank you very much." "Kubo, what's going on here?" "Now, the Teuchi ceremony is properly completed." "Let us conclude." "Hey, Kubo..." "I'm aware that the settlement with Inosuke might be a bit unfair for you... but I'd like you to endure it on the honor of my name." "Honored gentlemen, thank you for coming today." "Mr. Kubo, are you here?" "Mr. Tomioka..." "I can show my face only because you kindly came here today... but there's nothing I could do as long as old man Omaeda meddles." "I feel sorry for Inosuke." "It's not only Ino." "Morimoto, Ushimatsu, and Take have been excommunicated too." "How did that unfair settlement take place?" "By the way, there is a refinery in a village in my territory in Oshi." "The military-affiliated lead-mine, right?" "Yeah." "In these times..." "We have to make a living outside of the gambling halls." "Hey, did you hear that a war against Russia could begin soon." "And?" "And, I'm involved with that lead-mine too." "And Yuki's annoying the hell out of me over it." "You know, I can't really wait that long." "I got it." "I'll do what I can to help you." "Nonetheless, that Oryu bitch..." "My stomach is still churning with rage!" "I heard you were here." "Hello." "I'm sorry for involving you in such a troublesome matter." "I just wanted to properly salute you before I left." "Are you already leaving?" "Yes." "Actually, I was thinking of inviting you to join our family." "We're located in the midsts of Mt." "Oshi, west from here... between Naganohara and Kusatsu." "Well, if we take a carriage, it's a quick ride." "I appreciate your invitation... but I must go back to my home... and host the 7th anniversary of the death of my father." "I need to leave now to make it on time." "I see." "But in September..." "Boss Omaeda invited me to the Kanjin gambling tournament in Takasaki Kannon." "Perhaps I'd like to come by then." "Okay then." "I wouldn't want you to miss it." "Yes." "Thank you." "Actually, I've seen you before, Mr. Yuki." "On one rainy day, I saw you tending a grave when I passed by the cemetary." "Allow me to ask a personal question." "Who's grave was that?" "My wife." "The woman I let die before making her my wife." "She was a Geisha in this Ikaho town." "She was pregnant back when I was imprisoned." "After serving my time, I searched for her... but..." "I found only found her grave." "She left only a child... who will be 11 this year." "Boss!" "I'm glad to see you come back without any trouble." "I learned about you from talk in Ikaho Town." "Boss, you actually believed me." "Mr. Yasujiro." "Boss, you're the first person to look at me without doubtful eyes." "Nobody has ever done that." "I'm more than willing to give my life for you." "I believe you said it'd been 10 years since you chose your the gambler's life." "Boss, you are so beautiful." "So beautiful..." "I..." "Boss, I..." "FOUR MONTHS LATER" "OSHI, JOSHU" "Excuse me." "Excuse me!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "The entire village is in trouble now, and so everyone's gone." "May I ask who you are?" "My name is Yano." "Then you must be Ms. Oryu!" "I heard so much about you from my brother." "Brother?" "Then?" "I'm his sister, Fumiko." "My brother's at the village center." "Chief..." "The reason why the rice, which should be at this height, has begun wilting... is not because of pests or disease." "It's because of that, chief." "It's the polluted water from the refinery... and non-stop smoke it creates day-in and day-out." "The peasants can't make their living in this environment." "And they only wanted to ask for a change." "That's all they want, Chief." "And you arrested them, Chief!" "The law is the law." "Mayor..." "What are you doing with these people?" "If you have something to say to them, make your voice heard..." "That's bullshit!" "No one from the refinery will even hear what we have to say!" "And because they do nothing, things like this happened!" "Please free villagers." "Our Boss will be responsible for them." "Please." "After they are interrogated." "Uncle..." "Please say something, too." "In this case..." "We have to stop the polluted water entering the rice fields... and direct clear water from upstream." "And then, we'll..." "Hey..." "Where do you think you'll get the money to do that?" "How much would a project like that even cost?" "Also, where is the dirty water from the refinery going to go?" "That's a problem for the intelligent people of the refinery to solve." "Anyway, if everybody makes an effort, this is a feasible plan!" "This is why I can't deal with amateurs." "Mr. Tomioka." "Come on, let's go." "Mr. Director..." "The peasants won't stay silent on this." "If a riot occurs..." "How can a Japanese man say that?" "What?" "What are you after anyway?" "How much money will you make if you succeed in this negotiation?" "Money?" "We are at a critical point in the nation!" "You're human trash!" "What did you say?" "Hey, Yuki!" "Get lost already!" "What's that on your face?" "Are you going against a soldier of this nation?" "You piece of shit!" "Who are you, lady?" "I assume you're Saburo." "Yeah!" "What happened to you?" "Were you fighting?" " Yeah!" "They hit you pretty bad." "Let's go over there." "Why on earth did you get into a fight?" "They bullied a girl!" "How many of them?" " Three." "Second, third, and fourth graders." "All of them are from the refinery." "Three boys bullied one girl?" "And so you tried to stop it... and then got hit?" "I punched one." "I kicked another... then threw the other one down and scratched him." "And then, what did those three do afterwards?" "They're still there crying." "But you can't tell my father about this." "Does he get angry when you fight?" "Yeah." "But when I have to fight, he tells me to win." "He won't let me in the house if I lose." "But I won today, so it's not that bad." "I get scolded anyway though." "You have to promise me." "You smell nice." "You're flattering me." " It's true." "You smell like my mother." "There's always a festival in this town from tomorrow until the day after... but not this year." "Dad told me so." "I wnted him buy me a new toy in the festival." "Is anyone around?" "Call a doctor!" "Hurry!" "Lay him down!" "Prepare a futon!" "Are you okay?" "Ms. Oryu..." "Mr. Yuki..." "Damn those bastards!" "We have to do something about this!" "Calm down, guys!" "Understand the boss's feelings about this!" "But Brother!" " Idiot!" "Tsune was arrested." "What?" "That's not good." " Boss!" "They're using nationism as an excuse." "Now that we discovered their scheme, that's what they'll use to suppress us." "Ms. Oryu..." "I'm sorry you had to see all this... but..." "Saburo, come here." "Ms. Oryu..." "Saburo..." "Dad didn't lose in some little fight." "Don't cry." "If you cry over something like this, you're not my son." "Ms. Oryu..." "Please make yourself at home until the Kanjin Tournament." "Thank you." "Tsune!" "Mr. Tsune!" " Tsune!" "How did you...?" "I don't know." "We were all told that we were free to go." "Boss!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Boss..." "You, Tsune!" "Damn it!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Die, you bastards!" "Damned Yuki Family..." "Again." "Do it!" "Damn it!" "I have to avenge the Boss!" "For the sake of our nation, we have teach you a lesson!" "Go!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Hurry!" "Kill him!" "Who the hell are you?" "Boss Yano, this is a personal matter." "Please stay out of it." "You, woman..." "Are you getting yourself involved in this?" "Please excuse his deeds." "I'll take him home." "Wait!" "This man attempted to kill a national military officer!" "He still haven't paid yet!" "Sis..." "Bring more bandages and some alcohol." "We must clean the wounds carefully." "Oh, Tsune drank all the alcohol up yesterday." "You moron!" "Leave now!" "Do you know what kind of stupidity you committed?" "This man couldn't stay quiet and wimpy like the rest of us." "Fortunately his life was saved." "Are you okay?" "But, once we treat your wounds, leave here as soon as possible." "I don't want to have my husband dragged away by the police for what you did." "I know." "If you're gonna in trouble, You run off to the Boss's house!" "I won't endanger the Boss." "Is it okay to endanger me?" "You stupid bastard!" "Stop it!" "Ichi!" " You shut up!" "Don't let it out on Ichi!" "Damn it!" "A stupid man like him has to learn through pain!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "He's injured!" "You're all brothers!" "Stop fighting!" "Tsune, you apologize to him!" "I wanted to avenge the Boss." "What good would that bring?" "Brother, you're being mistreated by them, too!" "Mr. Tsune!" "Ms. Oryu has hid this from my brother..." "You're so stupid!" "If it wasn't for Ms. Oryu, you might have been killed!" "Ms. Fumiko..." "I am and always will be useless trash." "Stupid!" "You don't know anything about a woman's feelings." "Thank you for always looking after Tsunegoro." "He's always talking about you." "Sister!" "Ichi, go buy something with this." "Boss..." "Boss Tomioka and the director of the refinery are here." "I'll go upstairs." "The Director's here?" "Calm down." "Welcome." "Welcome." "Are you able to sit up already?" "We stopped by today because the Director wanted to come see you." "I ought to have come by sooner." "Sit." "Boss..." "Don't!" "Keep quiet." "We've wanted to hear you out and settle things... through dialogue since the very beginning." "But..." "We've gone to talk to you so many times." "If you come all so belligerent, we can't really talk." "There are some military people among us... and they're also very aggressive." "I've spoken to our headquarters about this matter... and they've decision to render some monetary compensation for the village." "So..." "You're just trying to buy us." "Yuki!" "The Director is trying to help you." "Is that really true?" "It is true." "But..." "The real problem here is the water." "And the smoke." "Yuki..." "There's nothing else we Yakuza can do." "Plus, I also talked to the Colonel about... what Oryu and Tsune did to them and patched it up." "Did Tsunegoro do something?" "Ah, it's not important here." "In any case, Mr. Mayor, what do you say?" "Yes." "We've lost our entire harvest this year." "Some are begging for money..." "Some are selling their daughters..." "Our festival is of course out of question." "Monetary compensation is a gift from the gods to pull us out of this hell." "You see?" "Mr. Oikawa, let's settle this peacefully." "Otherwise, it'll never be cleared up." "We won't make you wait long." "We'll bring back a more detailed offer very soon." "What do you say, Mr. Yuki?" "Mr. Director..." "Uncle..." "Canl really trust you and this offer?" "Of course you can." "Well, this was a productive visit." "I'm glad everything worked out." "All right, Yuki, that's that." "Take care." "Please forgive Mr. Tsunegoro." "No, I won't say a thing." "Thank you." "No, I was perhaps a bit too intrusive." "Boss..." "Boss..." "Brother, it's Mr. Tomioka that invited you." "Put this on." "No need." "It must be the details of the offer they made the other day." "It's nothing special." "But, I can't let you go out like that." "See you later." "What's this?" "It's a lantern for the festival." "Don't be silly." "The village can't afford a festival this year." "Put it away." "Auntie!" "Right here!" "There are many venders here every year!" "I see." "And here!" "The shows take place right here." "I see." "Once, even Fukumaru came here!" "Saburo, you like the festival so much." "Yeah!" "I love the festival!" "But I like Auntie more than the festival!" "How about your father?" "I like you more." "Mr. Yuki!" "You're the only one we can count on." "Everyone says so." "Take good care of yourself!" "Thank you." "Mr. Yuki..." "Look at the soil here." "Peasants lick the soil, like this... to check its condition." "This soil is... now changed drastically by the polluted water, smoke, and poison." "It's not safe to lick anymore..." "But still they do." "Is it strange for me to talk about things like this?" "No." "I would be a farmer too... if I hadn't chosen this lifestlye." "I'm from the north." "Ms. Oryu..." "I'd like you to stay longer... but tomorrow is the Kanjin tournament in Takasaki." "Yes." "I'll be leaving later today." "Auntie!" "You said you'd play with me more!" "I'm sorry." "I'll come see you again soon." "No!" "You have to stay!" "Saburo..." "She has an important business." "Okay." "Ms. Oryu... normally, I would participate in the Kanjin Tournament, but... please give Boss Omaeda my regards." "Yes, I will." "Saburo, I'll pick up a souvenir for you in Takasaki." "What would you like?" "Then, you are coming back!" "Yes." "Crayons!" "Crayons?" "I will." "I was waiting for you." "Thanks for coming by." "I've called you in to tell you some good news." "I've negotiated for a job in charge of employment at the lead-mine site for you." "Why don't you take it?" "Wait a minte." "Uncle..." "What about the compensation offer we talked about the other day?" "Well, come sit there first." "Did you actually believed that offer?" "The military, as well as the refinery, doesn't have that kind of money." "That's the truth." "Then, what you said in front of villagers... was just..." "It's easy to thing to do to calm them down." "In the first place, there's no resource for that kind money as I said!" "Uncle..." "Are you seriously saying this?" "What?" "Yuki..." "Are those petty villagers making you feel high and mighty?" "I learned only this lifestyle from my former boss." "What?" "Yuki... if you keep acting so childishly, you'll be laughed out of this lifestyle." "Uncle." "Please." "Mr. Tomioka, we can't afford any more problems." "Imagine what happens if the millitary gets involved with this." "That's what will happen if this continues." "What are you talking about?" "We can confront one or two Yakuza." "If it gets worse, we can mobilize a military force to uproot the problem!" "But, what about the compensation money that was sent from headquarters?" "What about it?" "I used that money for the reinforcement and betterment of the lead-mine." "I take the responsibility." "Or what?" "Do you want to put the money in your own pocket?" "Mr. Hatanaka, I'm right behind you." "That's why I'm making this effort..." "Mr. Tomioka!" "Hey, Sawaki..." "You know that Kiku is done." "You take over the Yuki Family." "Uncle?" "I take care of Kiku." "No, you can't do that..." "Be a man!" "This is not my sole decision." "I've already talked with the other Families in the area." "The Yuki Family must severe their ties with the villagers." "We all have to collaborate for the good of the Yuki Family, my family... and more importantly for the nation!" "Do you understand?" "Neither the Colonel nor the Director will treat you bad." "Rest ensured." "When you assume the position in the Family, you'll marry Kiku's sister Fumiko." "Uncle..." "You like her, don't you?" "Don't hide it." "I know how you really feel about her." "I'm sure that you'll be able to keep the Yuki name strong." "Hey, bring in the guests." "Hey!" "The guests!" "Boss, when are we going to do it?" "We're all well prepared already." "If we could, we'd like to take care of that Oryu bitch, too." "TAKASAKI, JOSHU" "My name is Yano Ryuko." "I will deal this table under the name of the Omaeda Family today." "I'm home!" "Saburo, come here for a second." "What is it, daddy?" "Sit here." "I have to go to somewhere far." "Where is somewhere far?" "It's somewhere far." "Saburo..." "I taught you everything I could... but one thing I want to tell you." "Men sometimes have to step up even if they know they'll lose." "Don't forget this." "Okay?" "Brother!" "Mr. Tsune's sister, Ichi, is being sold off!" "And Mr. Tsune just ran to their house!" "What?" "Hurry..." "Brother..." "Brother, hurry!" "Brother!" "Hurry!" "What did you do?" "Sister..." "Why did you sell Ichi?" "Give that to me!" "Where's brother?" "He went to the refinery to ask for a job." "He went to the refinery for a job?" "What an idiot!" "He's only going to be mistreated by Tomioka!" "What else could we do to eat?" "Your boss promised us that compensation money... but that was all a lie!" "We have to buy medication for father... and kids are all hungry... and they have to go to school, too." "We've hit rock bottom." "She voluntarily sold herself knowing this situation." "She said if she could make some money..." "She would do it..." "Why did we have to sell her...?" "Why..." "Bullshit!" "My husband is trying hard... doing everything he could... everything..." "Tsune." "She was carried off in a cart." "I went to see her off, and she disappeared beyond the road..." "Give me the money!" " No!" "I'm going to buy her back!" "No!" "No!" "Idiot!" "Tsune..." "I'll go." "Fumiko..." "Hold onto him." "Sister..." "This is all my fault." "Forgive me." "Brother!" "Ichi, you'll soon be home." "Forget about what happened today, okay?" "Yes." "I know you bought me back, Boss... but the girl next door to us was also sold..." "I feel..." "I feel..." "I know." "What?" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Inosuke, who ordered you to do this?" "Uncle..." "Damn it..." "Yuki..." "This is what I was talking about." "Ms. Oryu, we have a situation." "The Yuki Boss was killed this morning." "Go to them immediately." "You don't have to worry about here." "I'm partially responsible for this too." "As soon as I take care of this, I'll join you." "Yes." "It was men from Ikaho who killed him on the grounds of revenge." "However, they also died." "Of course, as the settlement..." "I'll arrange a settlement from the Kubo Family for what their men did." "So that Yuki Family can honor the Boss's death." "Nonetheless, the most important thing now... is to decide the successor as soon as possible." "I feel that Koyama Sanji should be the successor." "I'm sorry to bring this up now... but, what happened to the monetary compensation promised to us?" "Oh, as for that, that's all Director Omura's doing." "In any case, did you agree with me?" "Good." "The succession ceremony will be held sometime soon." "Now, the funeral..." "Sanji..." "You, as the next boss, take that responsibility." "One last thing, Ofumi..." "As the sister of the departed Boss..." "Would you be Sanji's wife for the sake of the Family?" "Well..." "I don't..." "I need you to agree on this." "You were born into a Yakuza household." "You should understand this type of arrangement." "Please don't dishonor the death of your brother." "Sanji, you don't have any problem with this, do you?" "No, I don't." "Ofumi, Sanji says yes." "Please understand." "Everyone also agrees, don't you?" "Auntie!" "Saburo..." "Did you get my crayons?" "I'm sorry." "Please wait little a bit longer." "I heard what happened and got here as soon as possible." "I'm sorry." "Boss..." "Ms. Oryu!" "Boss..." "He must have been mortified..." "Who saw him right before this happened?" "I should have followed him regardless of what he said..." "Boss!" "Boss was attacked on the way bringing Ichi back." "Damn them!" "Those filthy animals!" "How could they do that do him?" "He was still the Boss until the very end." "He did kill all four those who attacked him." "We feel there's more than just those four." "I don't know what police thinks..." "I can't stand it anymore." "Are we just going to sit around when our boss was murdered?" "Say something, brother!" "Brother!" "Are you all willing to die with me?" "Idiots!" "Do this after the funeral!" "I can't wait that long!" "What Family will keep silent when thier boss is killed?" "I'm going!" "Where are you going?" "To Ikaho!" "To the Kubo Family!" "Wait!" "It's not that easy." "We have to keep in mind what my brother risked his life for." "People thought he was in their way and to wanted to get rid of him..." "It's the men from the refinery." "Gather the men!" "Mr. Sanji, Mr. Tomioka and the others chose you to be the new boss." "And they ordered me to be your wife." "But, please wait for the marriage." "I don't want to go marry to anybody yet." "I have to avenge for my brother." "I have to avenge for my brother!" " Everybody!" "We haven't gotten the monetary compensation either!" "That's right!" "Let's raid them!" "Boss, let us go!" " Wait!" "Hang on!" "This is exactly what they're waiting for." "If you go attack them now... it'll only going to give them a reason to eradicate the Family all together." "But...!" " No!" "It's clear now what Fumiko said." "Isn't the most important thing right now... to carry on the intentions of Boss Yuki?" "To carry on the well-being and safety of the villagers?" "First..." "Let us tend to the ceremony." "Let us have a proper funeral." "Forgive me, a stranger, for intruding in your family's business." "But, I do feel as strong as you do about Mr. Yuki's humiliation." "MINISTRY OF WAR" "You're the one who wants to see the Secretary of the Army?" "Yes." "Attention!" "Is it you that requested to see the Secretary of the Ministry of War?" "Yes." "Fool!" "To see the secretary...." "Identify yourself first!" "I am Yano Ryuko." "And, what are you?" "A Geisha?" "No." "I'm a Yakuza." "Yakuza?" "Are you kidding me?" "The Secretary of the Ministry of War of Japan... does not have time to see the likes of you!" "Leave!" "COLORING CRAYONS" "Thank you for your patronage." "Thank you." "I'm sure that the Secretary of the Ministry of War is here." "His carriage is outside." "Once again, the Secretary is now in an important meeting with somebody." "Moreover, he doesn't see anybody without an appointment." "But I really do have to see the Secretary." "Fine." "I'll go ahead and wait for him in the next room." "Wait!" "Hang on!" " What do you think you're doing?" "Wait!" "Stop!" " You can't go in there!" "Who let her in?" "We're sorry, sir!" "Get her out of here!" "Are you all right?" "Brother?" "Oh, Oryu!" "Long time no see." "I've wanted to see you for so long." "Me too." "Hold on..." "Girl!" "What are you doing?" "Why did you pull this strict Japanese man's hand underneath your clothes?" "You can't do that." "Let my hand go." "Let it go!" "Please, let me hand go." "Please..." "Ms. Oryu..." "I've wanted to see you so much!" "Come here." "Come." "Right here." "This seat is for the Secretary..." "Who cares?" "He won't mind." "Please sit." "Actually, there's something I'd like to request the Secretary in person." "Oh, that's what you came here for today?" "No problem." "Let me arrange that." "I've been doing business with the military, so it'll go smooth." "He's now taking a bath with some Geisha... so when he returns, I'll talk to him." "Damn it!" "Kumatora!" "Get that bitch out of here!" "You bastard!" "Who do you think you're talking to?" "What?" "The Secretary has just come out of the bath." "Mr. Secretary!" "We have an intruder!" "What?" "Intruder?" "Hey, Kumatora!" "Who's this beautiful intruder?" "Come here." "Come to me." "Hey, give me your hands." "Here we go." "Mr. Secretary!" "Hey, Kumatora!" "Who's this strong lady?" "She is my sworn sister..." "Oryu the Red Peony!" "If you hurt her, I'm going to make you pay, big time!" "What?" "This is the Red Peony that Kumatora was always talking about all the time!" "Excuse me for what I did." "I am Yano Ryuko." "I came here desperately wanting you to hear me out." "Oh?" "!" "You have a Kyushu accent!" "Ms. Oryu is from Higo, Kumamoto." "I'm from Kagoshima!" "In Kyushu!" " Kyushu!" "Hey, Okami!" "You two beat it, now!" "Kumatora, Oryu, and me are gonna party all night long tonight!" "Come here!" "Come!" "Come!" "I'm so happy to see a Kyushu-Girl!" "We're gonna drink the night away!" "All right!" "Kumatora, pour me a cup!" "Before that, Mr. Secretary..." "Do you know about... the lead-mine site in Oshi, Joshu that has close affiliation with the military?" "How could I not know about it?" "It's a vital site for the military." "The smoke and polluted water produced from the refinery... has damaged the rice crops the villagers depend on." "How could you say it's a vital mine site... when it's destroying the food our nation needs?" "What did you always say?" "'A hungry stomach can't fight!" "'" "What do soldiers eat?" "Rice!" "What are you doing killing our most important crop?" "Wait!" "Yes." "It's me." "Omura!" "What?" "Yes, Mr. Secretary." "Of course." "Yes." "Not that." "Yes." "Understood." "Hey, tomorrow is the 7th day ceremony for Kikutaro." "And after that, it's your succession ceremony, as the new Boss." "Do well as Tomioka's right arm." "How could you be drinking at this moment?" "What's happening?" " What?" "What?" "How could you?" "You, leave here." "Give me some too." "What's going on?" "There's going to be investigators from the Ministry of War." "What?" "Someone went to directly talk to the Secretary of the Army about us!" "Who was it?" "It was that Oryu lady." "I told you so many times not to make a big fuss out of this!" "What are you saying now?" "You asked us to take care of them." "That's fine." "There is only one way out from here now anyway." "This is my share of the compensation money that we three split... that was supposedly meant for the villagers." "You two have to cough up it up, too." "As long as we still have the money to them, we can get out of this." "This is the only way, you know." "Split into three?" "What are you talking about?" "Mr. Tomioka!" "Colonel..." "Your food and drink and women... the remodeling of your house in Tokyo... pocket money for your personal use, and your private guards..." "Where do you think that money came from?" "It's from here." "Why, you..." "Tomioka, please, back me up with the some money for now." "Otherwise, I'll be courtmartialed." "It's impossible." "The money's all gone." "Tomioka!" "I don't care where the money is from, as long as we have the exact amount!" "Time is ticking!" "Mr. Tomioka, what are you thinking?" "It's my policy to take care a matter to the end once I'm involved." "What the hell are you talking about?" "How are you going to take care of this?" "You don't need to worry." "I'll do it on my own." "Tomioka!" "What in the hell are you doing?" "Stop it!" "Don't!" "Colonel, you'll be spared from courtmartial only if you do this." "The Director pocketed all the money." "He was afraid of getting caught by the investigators from the Ministry of War." "So, he committed suicide." "Well, that sounds common in our society." "Killing Yuki by making others do it... and Omura by your own hands..." "You're..." "In this world, it's either eat or be eaten." "I heard everything." "What's all this 'eat or be eaten' nonsense?" "Don't let him get away!" "Mr. Yasujiro?" "Boss..." "What happened to you?" "Boss, you were in Tokyo..." "I saw you in Tokyo..." "So, without even thinking, I followed you." "Forgive me..." "But, because I did that..." "I found out what was going on." "And I wanted to help you..." "My injuries are nothing as long as I'm useful to you..." "Tomioka and his men..." "They're the vilest bunch..." "Pulling the strings behind... the plot to kill the Boss Yuki..." "It was Tomioka!" "Thank you for doing this." "That's what we most needed to know." "Stay strong!" "You have to live!" "He killed the director too." "Also Koyama of the Yuki Family..." "Koyama Sanji is also one of them..." "Mr. Yasujiro!" "Boss..." "Was someone like me... useful to you?" "Mr. Yasujiro..." "You helped me with what I most needed to know." "Boss..." "You are so beautiful." "You are the most beautiful thing... in all the world..." "Mr. Yasujiro!" "Trading the peak of my womanhood for the Yakuza life" "Red Peonies sway on the body that I risk" "A woman... a woman..." "a woman's determination" "Kills the romance in the night sky as I travel" "And now..." "We are about to begin... the 7th day ceremony of the departed Yuki Kikutaro." "But before that..." "Colonel Hatanaka Michisuke of the Japanese Army... who had kindly alterned his busy schedule to join us here today... has requested that he would like to make a brief remark." "I am Hatanaka." "I have to announce that, at the refinery... money for the new water line had been given from headquarters... yet construction was never started." "Why?" "It was because the director of the refinery secretly embezzled the money." "Omura committed the suicide last night... out of the fear of being caught... or perhaps out of his own conscience." "I, as his supervisor, will take responsibility... and also admire and pray for this bereaved individual... who devoted and gave his life to the betterment of this village." "Don't offer your incense just yet." "It's Auntie!" "Excuse me." "You!" "Why are you here?" "Mr. Tomioka... do you think Mr. Yuki would appreciated your offering?" "What?" "How could you offer incense to a man you killed?" "Killed?" "Where is the evidence?" "I won't stand for your false accusations!" "How do you plan on paying for this humiliation?" "I do have the evidence." "I've just gone to the refinery to confront the dead director's men... and there I heard the entire story." "Mr. Sadaji, we're in front of the departed..." "Please tell us the truth." "Sadaji!" "It's true!" "Using the Kubo men to kill the Boss... and strangling the Director!" "It was all Tomioka!" "Mr. Tomioka, I'm here to kill you." "Look, Auntie..." "I drew you with the crayons you gave me!" "No..." "I'm not the kind person you think I am." "Auntie..."
