Ichikawa!
What?
Don't flatfish come out at night?
Some swim up to shore in daytime.
Big ones.
Try them, bro. They're great for kimchi stew.
I tried it in a diner.
You really don't get it.
They don't serve the good ones at some lousy diner.
You ate that fake stuff.
What do you mean fake?
I didn't mean to offend.
Something wrong with your bait?
Could be.
Maybe I should use your pinky.
Don't fuck with me!
Just kidding.
What the hell?
Sorry!
Someone left it in the office, so I took it.
Don't bring it here, dumb-ass.
Sorry.
Damned dangerous!
Bitch!
Bitch?
You slut!
Whore!
Turn around.
What are these?
You have money, asshole.
OUTRAGE CODA
You're next, Yoo Hee.
Business is slow, huh?
He's complaining about our girls.
Come over.
OK, in a second.
A Japanese yakuza is complaining. He's asking for the boss.
- Yakuza? - Yes.
- Where? - Taehang Resort Hotel.
This way.
You useless bitches!
He'll take it out on me.
You alright?
He wanted sick stuff. We said no, so he hit us.
What's the problem?
Your bitches are pathetic.
Our boss is angry.
He says he won't pay.
Where's your boss?
In the bedroom.
What's your problem with our girls?
My problem? You idiot.
Your bitches are lame.
They need training! They're no fun at all.
Looks like you had fun.
Don't fuck with me!
I'm not fucking with you!
I'm demanding compensation for hurting our girls.
You know who I am?
I'm Hanada of the Hanabishi family.
You want trouble with the Hanabishi?
Listen...
I even got a sworn brother in Seoul.
Asshole!
You're not in Seoul. This is Jeju Island.
Drop the Hanabishi crap.
Bring it on!
Relax.
I just came to have some fun.
No need to quarrel.
You're the one asking for it.
How will you settle up, asshole?
I don't have cash on me right now.
You can come tomorrow at noon.
How much can you pay?
Two million.
You can't mean Korean won.
Not two million yen! That's outrageous!
Look...
Think about what you did before blurting out a sum.
I'll mince your face and use it as bait!
OK, OK.
You'll get your Japanese yen.
Say... What's your name, buddy?
You Japanese?
My name is Fuck Off.
Got that?
Pay up!
To that guy.
Hey.
Useless bodyguards!
Sorry.
They humiliated me. And you two?
You stood there and watched!
Sorry, sir.
I'm leaving in the morning.
- Take care of this. - With what money?
Dumbass!
We won't pay that bastard.
If he makes a fuss,
kill him!
Yes, sir.
Nakata...
Where's Hanada?
Is he late?
Underboss Nishino,
he's in Korea on urgent business.
He's due back for the regular meeting.
Business?
His business is to get his butt here!
I told him. He said the offer was too good.
He left this for Chairman Nomura.
Don't go over my head to gain Mr. Nomura's favors.
You must report first to me on these matters.
My apologies.
That's not what we meant.
Forget it.
I'll explain it to him later.
I appreciate it.
Good afternoon, sir.
What's with Mr. Nomura?
And his constant meetings?
How many this month?
He was a trader. He's uncomfortable without meetings.
Why should he be successor?
So what if he's the ex-boss' son-in-law!
He says spending is the only way to make more money.
He's causing huge losses!
Brother, you're talking too loud.
I don't give a shit.
I won't allow what's-his-name
to act like he owns this place!
One more thing, Nakata.
You receive a lot of money from Hanada every month,
isn't that right?
No, I'm not getting any.
Without your recommendation to Mr. Nomura,
Hanada would never have his own family.
Couldn't he have appealed to him in person?
With money?
His business is thriving.
Loansharking to meth dealing, he does whatever makes money.
He recruits biker gangs to avoid mob busts.
He uses police connections at his convenience.
He's quite impressive.
He gets the meth in Korea, right?
The ex-boss prohibited meth.
And Mr. Nomura?
He wouldn't interfere...
if the price was right!
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Everyone's here.
Fine.
Remain seated.
Anything happen this month?
Nothing unusual.
Sawamura will remain hospitalized for another couple months.
We have an executive named Kono...
He'll be released from prison soon.
Fine. I expect each family to prepare a cash gift.
An exec's release calls for significant contributions.
Don't embarrass yourselves.
Yes, sir.
You think you're big yakuza?
Bragging won't boost your income.
Who dealt with the Security Police
and the government to rebuild this family?
Nakata, where's Hanada?
As I told Underboss, he's in Korea on urgent business.
He travelled, knowing I was here?
You all report to me, your Chairman, at these regular meetings!
Yes.
He surely would have been here for the former boss.
What do you mean?
I mean exactly what I said.
Don't fuck with me, Nishino.
Your lot spends money like water and knows nothing about making it.
I sweat blood for this family!
Use your fucking brain!
That arrogant Nishino defies me every chance he gets.
He can be a pain in the ass.
Any possibility to demote him?
Nishino could be replaced by Nakata or Hanada.
But Nishino's loyal supporters won't take it lying down.
Then we choose Nakata as a new boss.
Let him fight Nishino.
We'll get rid of two old farts with one blow.
Brother,
won't you do anything?
He's fucking dead.
What will you do?
I'm busy thinking, dumb-ass!
What's that about?
Some Korean star?
Sorry. I just dyed my hair.
There was trouble with a Japanese yakuza. We lost a man.
Mr. Otomo wants to return.
Work it out amongst yourselves. Solve it peacefully.
Tell Otomo to spare us any trouble.
Yes.
Our soldiers stabbed the guy to death with an ice pick.
They dumped him on the beach.
Dumped? What if this turns into war?
Yeah.
I don't know any yakuza in Jeju.
Hey, Gun.
Yes?
Maruyama!
What the hell are you doing?
I'm eating barbecue.
Are you stupid? I told you to wait outside!
Sorry, sir.
I recruited him from a biker gang.
But he's a butthead.
For you, compliments of the house.
Thanks a lot as always.
You're welcome. We owe you so much, sir.
Please drop by our bar. It's open during the day.
Say, aren't you from Jeju Island?
Yes.
Who controls the hotels and casinos in Jeju?
That's the turf of Chairman Chang.
His sworn brother Yoon is also there.
Chairman Chang?
Of Tokyo?
Yes. He's originally from Jeju.
Something happen there?
Nothing. You're excused.
Dammit.
You messed up.
You picked the wrong fight.
Chang is an influential figure in both Japan and Korea.
Your argument in the hotel...
Was the guy named Otomo?
Well... I really don't know.
He killed that cop Kataoka.
Right by the funeral site, they say.
I think Chang gave him shelter.
So what do you think I should do?
Say one word to cross Nomura and Nishino,
you'll be dead.
Listen.
I'll go to Tokyo and visit Chang's office
to apologize.
Prepare some money.
How much should I prepare?
20 to 30 million yen, as condolences.
You did kill a guy.
That much?
Idiot!
Chang's got shitloads of money.
Respond in a sincere manner,
he'll understand.
- All they lost is one lousy punk. - Yeah.
The Hanabishi? Is something going on?
Kind of.
Nakata and Hanada are talking...
about apologizing to Mr. Chang.
Really? Thanks for the tip, Gun.
Is Mrs. Yoon alright?
She passed away two days ago.
I sent flowers for the funeral.
I see...
Only those close to Mr. Yoon were contacted.
I'll inform Mr. Chang.
Fine.
Mr. Lee?
What?
The Hanabishi will visit us to apologize.
What do we do?
It depends on what they offer.
Excuse me.
This is from Gun. Interest on a debt.
Tell him I don't need it.
Guys, I'm leaving.
Yes, sir.
Thank you so much.
Mr. Chang arranged everything.
It's officially death by accident.
Money solves everything.
- Ichikawa... - Yes?
Ko is dead. How can you fish?
I'm not having much fun.
I want to run to Japan, and kill that motherfucker!
You think you're angry?
I feel the same!
Let's go.
Yeah.
It sucks being a chauffeur for the head family.
Sure does.
You can't say that, dickhead!
Thanks for coming all the way from Osaka.
We took the Shinkansen Express to Tokyo.
Really?
So who's Hanada?
I'm Hanada of the Hanabishi.
Hanabishi... So fucking what?
Nomura or Nishino should be here, if they had any respect for the code!
Deputy Underboss? Is that a consolation prize?
Mr. Nomura just took over the post.
Mr. Nishino has screw-ups to resolve.
You saying this isn't a screw-up?
I didn't mean that at all.
What the hell did you mean?
A real Japanese yakuza would chop off a finger.
This money's just chicken feed.
It won't settle everything!
We could go to war.
No need to get angry, fellows.
I'm sorry.
Did you take good care
of Ko's bereaved family?
Not yet, sorry. I'll do that now.
Good afternoon.
Sir,
Mr. Nakata and Mr. Hanada
of the Hanabishi in Osaka.
Our man seems to have misbehaved on your turf.
We're truly sorry about it.
Please forgive him with this.
What's this for?
An apology for Ko Seong-Jin's death.
With this measly 30 million cash,
they ask for our forgiveness.
Bring another 30 million cash.
What?
Just get the money.
Those bastards have no respect.
Alright.
What is he babbling in Korean? They're disrespecting us.
Give them the money and split.
You're the one who told me to act before Nomura or Nishino found out.
They're messing with us, stupid.
Why let them humiliate us when we are paying 30 million?
5 million is really enough for a fucking soldier.
You!
What did you say?
My precious man's life is worth only 5 million?
Your attitude determines if we're your poison or your antidote.
Get out!
All yours.
What?
Go!
I guess Chang understands Japanese.
That's not the damn point.
What do we do with the money? It's doubled to 60 million.
Congratulatory cash gift for the new chairman?
You're such a stupid ass.
They are pushing the Hanabishi to fight.
Pay 100 million each to Nomura and Nishino, and cut your finger.
- Really that much? - "Really that much"?
How much did you earn in the last couple years?
A couple billion by meth dealing and loan-sharking alone.
We have no fucking choice!
Brother, I beg you to resolve this.
It won't be cheap though.
I got that.
You're saying you went behind our backs
to visit Chang.
Sorry.
Chang didn't only refuse our money.
He gave us an additional 30 million.
How stupid are you?
His message was:
bring at least 60 million.
Idiots.
Hanada.
Yes, sir.
You didn't only lie
to Mr. Nomura and I...
You went to Korea for pleasure.
What luxury!
Not really.
I completed my work
before stopping briefly on Jeju Island.
While we were rushing around for Mr. Nomura,
you were buying women in Jeju.
Now you want us to clean up
your shitty mess?
Sorry.
I didn't mean to cause trouble for you, nor Mr. Nomura.
The trouble is you have shit for brains!
Moron!
Forget it.
I'll convince Chang and settle things.
Hanada,
you come with me.
Yes.
Mr. Nomura is a very busy man.
Mr. Chairman!
I'll go over to Chang's office and settle this.
Hanada...
Come with me.
Underboss? May I?
You keep Mr. Nomura company.
Nishino could secretly conspire with Chang
to mooch money off Hanada.
He wants to squeeze Hanada.
Chang will be convinced of that if Mr. Nishino shows up.
But Nishino shows up for all important occasions.
It's hard to see who the boss is.
Right?
For sure!
He works hard for Mr. Nomura and the Hanabishi.
Haven't you noticed while you're with him?
Are you one of them?
What?
He hates that Mr. Nomura became chairman ahead of him.
Doesn't he want Mr. Nomura to retire so he can take over the role?
He doesn't think like that.
Do you agree with Nishino?
You hate that I became chairman?
Because I was a stock trader?
You think the Hanabishi haven't flourished with me?
I have not chosen Nishino as my successor.
Your commitment to me, to the Hanabishi...
that's the determining factor.
Is that clear?
So what do you think?
About what?
I'm asking if you are willing to take over my role.
Not ahead of a brother.
Don't you see?
How much longer can you be so loyal?
You would be his biggest obstacle if he becomes chairman.
He would crush your family, drag Hanada out,
and go after my assets.
No.
Listen, Nakata.
I want you to succeed me as chairman of the Hanabishi.
As you say behind my back, I'm not an up-from-the-ranks yakuza.
I know when to quit.
Think it over.
You guys agree?
He is very considerate to think ahead for you.
We totally agree with him, brother.
Hanada,
prepare another 200 million.
100 million each
for Chang and myself.
I already ordered 100 million each to be delivered
to Mr. Nomura and yourself.
Hanada, listen...
You can get your money back anytime you want.
One day,
when I rule the Hanabishi family,
I would handpick you to be my underboss.
Then everything will be mighty fine.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
Let's go to Chang's office first thing tomorrow morning.
With me, it will be quick.
Quick as a flash.
I'll show you the finesse that Nakata lacks.
- Underboss. - What?
Thank you, sir.
I was...
What?
I was...
wondering if you could spare me the finger-chopping?
Are you dreaming?
Who the fuck needs your pinky?
Huh?
Thank you so much.
Take good care of your pinky.
Yeah?
Your parents gave it to you.
They asked for money again?
We must give a cash gift to a Hanabishi being released from prison.
We're Sanno. Why should we?
Because Nishino is our guardian.
I doubt he makes deposits to the Hanabishi account.
Man, they should give us back the Kimura turf.
It's in Tokyo.
Hey, I'm the chairman! Don't speak as my equal.
Sorry, sir. I'll be careful.
Stupid!
Courtesy of Mr. Yoshioka of the Kimura family.
Yoshioka of the Kimura?
That man drinking over there, sir.
Hey, lost yakuza!
Asshole. I'll crush him one clay.
Shit!
Are you prepared to take over my position?
Move fast if you are ready.
Huh?
What should I do?
Do something about Nishino.
Kill the Underboss?
He went with Hanada to apologize to Chang.
It should be easy to make it look like a conflict.
Strike him at night when he returns.
Everyone will accuse Chang.
You see, Nakata?
There are hurdles to overcome if you want to be a leader.
Your do-or-die moment.
But Hanada must live because we can use him.
While you're at it, eliminate Chang too.
They will only get in our way.
Whoever wins, it will look like a Nishino vs. Chang conflict.
Use your brain.
Look at their stupid faces!
What the hell are we doing here?
We don't belong to the Hanabishi.
They practically treat us like their servants.
Anyway, it appears Otomo had a part in this.
I hope the Hanabishi-Chang fight won't end in a truce.
Then we can restore the Sanno to equal them as in the past.
You're right.
Otomo.
I think he's still in Jeju.
Should I contact him?
This is Mr. Wang's proposal on the Hong Kong project.
Fine.
Should I continue, Mr. Chairman?
Fine.
Mr. Chang!
Please look at this.
This asshole caused you a serious inconvenience.
I'm sorry about that.
Is this the Hong Kong figure?
Yes.
We're aware of your reputation.
It spread to the Kansai region, too.
So...
on behalf of the Chairman of the Hanabishi...
I, Underboss Nishino, come to greet you in person today.
Not so different from Korean hotels.
Yes, and what about Taiwan?
Will you forgive him?
We are proceeding acquisitions with this developer.
As a sign of our apology...
I brought 100 million cash.
Say we won't sell for less than 8 billion.
Yes, I'll inform them.
That's English.
Thank you for traveling.
We'll accept 30 million.
It's only the amount you had arranged.
You've made a friendly gesture. We're not yakuza.
I must ask you to leave.
Aren't we dining out in Kyoto?
Where the hell is he taking me?
Aren't there many restaurants near the station?
How far are we going?
Mr. Nakata told me to follow his car.
I don't know where.
Mr. Nakata and I ate once in a ryotei restaurant on this road.
It's the best season for sweetfish.
Freshwater fish tastes too fishy for me.
I'd rather have sushi.
Why stop at a place like this?
I'm sorry.
We took the wrong path. We'll turn around here.
Hurry up, moron!
What the fuck!
- Hanada. - Yes?
Whose side are you on?
What's going on?
Who is he?
Really?
You still don't understand?
Listen.
Chairman Nomura.
That motherfucker
tried to instigate Nakata.
He tried to rub me out.
And take you down with me.
No way!
You know how much I did for him?
You know that, don't you?
Stop squirming. You're not getting out.
Whose side are you on?
Answer before you get out.
How could I possibly take his side
in this situation?
Please let me get out the car!
Fine, go.
Tell them someone attacked us both near Chang's office.
Only you got out alive.
Tell that to Nomura.
Yes.
Go ahead and move the car.
Fine. Dump him in the lake, too.
Yes, sir.
- What? - Let's go.
What are you doing?
Underboss!
Don't forget: you're the only survivor!
Why are you dressed like that?
I'm sorry.
I came directly from the site.
I borrowed these from one of my men.
What happened to Nishino?
One of my men was shot to death.
I almost drowned in the lake with Mr. Nishino.
I managed to escape from the car on my own.
I don't know what happened to Nishino.
He must be dead.
Right?
Motherfucker Chang!
What do we do about Chang?
That's the problem.
No backing down quietly after Nishino's death.
Up to it, Hanada?
Who?
Me?
Get some guys together.
You can do it.
Yes.
What are you doing about Chang?
I got a man tailing him.
He frequents his favorite coffee shop.
Your refill.
Nishino was attacked after the meeting with Mr. Chang.
Hanada's men are on the way.
Please tell him to watch out.
Did you call Choi?
He was unreachable, so I called you.
Got it.
Get the car ready.
Armed?
Put it back, stupid.
Let's recap.
We shoot the bodyguards first. Alright?
Yeah.
We can do this.
Let's move!
Are you alright, Mr. Chang?
I'll take care of this. Please go on ahead.
They screwed up. Let's go.
Yeah.
Those punks were never going to succeed.
A screw-up?
It's pointless to kill his henchmen and let Chang live!
Hanada only works with cheap punks.
You counted on him to do the job.
"The Kimura family is working on it." Now what?
It's time to get your shit together!
Yes.
Things are going from bad to worse.
They don't know we're behind this?
Not the dead ones.
They didn't drink to sworn brotherhood.
It's my ass if they find out!
You want to be underboss?
Pull it together and resolve this!
Yes.
Mr. Chang says he's alright.
How could he be alright?
They went after him and killed your henchmen.
If you see it that way.
We should let them do whatever?
Who the hell is behind this?
They blame us for the attack on Nishino.
It might be someone inside the Hanabishi.
Brother, can I go with you?
Listen.
I'm not your boss
nor your brother.
You're asking the wrong person.
If I ask Mr. Lee, he'll say no.
He already told me no.
What now?
What would you do?
Go after the Hanabishi.
You'll die.
So be it.
Chang is the fixer and mastermind of Korean politics and industry.
We have yet to identify the punks who attacked him.
We only know they are connected to the Hanabishi.
Osaka Police is on it.
It's either vengeance against Hanada
or retaliation for Nishino, but he's still missing.
Korean fixer vs. Hanabishi.
First we go to Chang.
You'd better watch out.
He's influential. One wrong move could lead to a diplomatic issue.
I went there once with Mr. Kataoka,
when we tailed Otomo after his release from prison.
We're from the Metropolitan Police. We have some questions for you.
Is he telling us to walk?
Pompous ass!
Something happen with the Hanabishi?
I already told another officer:
we know nothing.
So no clue why you were attacked in the coffee house?
I worked on some cases during the Sanno-Hanabishi conflict.
There was a yakuza named Otomo who was associated with you.
I think he settled in Jeju after the conflict.
What's his connection to this?
He paid a visit to the Hanabishi.
He was eventually banished.
Would you admit it's somehow related to this case, Mr. Chang?
These days, Japanese police have no manners.
Sorry.
Mr. Chang is busy. I must ask you to leave.
Come on, let's go.
Leave it. They'll start killing each other.
But we can't leave empty-handed without a clue.
Isn't that Otomo?
It's him.
What's he up to?
Let's detain him.
How did you get your passport?
Gun arranged it for me.
Mr. Lee.
Yes?
Please keep it secret from Mr. Chang.
About Gun too.
Yes.
Pull over your vehicle.
Plate number S300A5573. Silver Mercedes.
They're tailing me already.
I know you just landed, but take a ride to the station with us.
Move over.
Mr. Chairman!
Assholes!
It's not bulletproof!
I could have been shot!
Clean up this mess now!
Yes, sir!
Move it!
Don't use that dialect. I hate the Kansai accent!
You move it!
Out of my way!
Which family is he from?
Anybody know?
Excuse me.
Nakata! Hanada!
Oh, you must be Kono.
Honored to finally meet you.
Get out of prison today?
Sorry I can't be as hospitable to you as the former boss.
Bear with me.
I don't mind at all.
You're looking well.
Although, I was almost killed a few minutes ago!
Mobilize all your men and the Kimura family in Tokyo.
Destroy Chang now.
I'm already on their hit list.
Hold on a second.
It was Hanada who caused this conflict.
We made it look like Nishino vs. Chang.
And I told you it was a pretext
for you to mastermind perfectly, then I'd make you my successor.
Now I'm on their hit list.
To both the police and Chang, you're obviously behind this.
Fix this or we'll be ridiculed by everyone.
SANNO ENTERPRISES
- Is Mr. Shiroyama here? - He's inside.
Excuse me.
Not now.
Yes, sir.
This is really a conflict between the Hanabishi and Chang.
Idiot!
They murdered brother Nishino, who was your guardian.
You should be first in line to attack Chang.
Cut your bullshit or I'll destroy the Sanno.
What's so funny?
Nakata!
Shut your mouth.
At least try!
What?
You're just a deputy acting like our guardian.
Or you think you already took over the family?
Huh?
What's with you?
The minute Mr. Nishino was gone,
you had a complete change of attitude.
Stupid ass.
Out of my way!
Don't just stand there!
Coming in!
It's not nice to bully the weak.
What are you looking at?
Don't look at me like I'm a fucking ghost.
Shitheads.
The Hanabishi is in danger of disintegration.
We must work together amicably when necessary.
No one ever taught you that?
You punks!
Mr. Chang warns that detaining Otomo longer
might put the police into an overwhelming situation.
I wasn't aware of this inconvenience.
I will settle it quietly.
I advise that.
I've had enough of this. It's been two days.
Boss Kato of the Sanno betrayed you. Kimura got his family.
Kataoka used you to break up the Sanno.
You got rid of three of them!
Fuck if I know!
I'll make sure you never talk again.
Do it, motherfucker!
You two are total dumbasses.
Didn't Kataoka tell you anything?
What?
What is it?
The higher-ups said not to dig deeper.
Chang probably pressured to release Otomo.
You can go.
Thanks so much.
After all that bossing around, now what?
An order from your boss and it's over.
I'm free to go!
Punk!
He's a material witness.
How can you let him go? That intimidating bastard!
We should detain him for another 10 or 20 days!
Whatever Chang says, why must the police obey him so easily?
- Relax. - Bullshit!
The police are the dirtiest!
Look who's talking!
- Calm down! - Shut up!
Everything alright?
Your car is here.
Mr. Chang told you to pick me up?
Yes.
Mr. Lee,
I have to go somewhere.
Can you drive back alone?
Are you up to something?
You asked Ichikawa and others to join you.
I did no such thing.
Mr. Chang doesn't want any more trouble.
Kindly take Ichikawa back to Korea.
Mr. Chang's request.
Please tell him I went back to Jeju.
I will cause him no trouble.
- It had to be a remote place. - Yeah.
They have eyes on me.
This is Gun.
He arranged passports and everything.
Sorry about the random passport names.
I'm fine with Goro Yamada.
I loaded the firearms in the back.
Take your pick, although some are old.
So, what now?
First thing...
we take down the Hanabishi in Tokyo.
Boss, are we safe drinking in this kind of place?
Can you excuse us?
Come on, girls.
What do you mean by that?
What's wrong with drinking on my turf?
Right?
My thoughts exactly.
The Kansai guys chose to quarrel with Chang.
We in Tokyo should get along.
True!
About the attack on Hanada...
No one suspects our involvement yet, so stop worrying.
I arranged Yoshioka to meet us and told you where he is.
Don't think it's over, simply because you paid.
Where's Yamazaki?
He's upstairs. Can I help?
Police.
Boss?
What?
The police are here.
Leave us.
OK.
Detective, I rather you not show up here.
I'm square now.
Bear with me.
I have some questions about the late Kimura.
You were an aide of Kato, the former Sanno chairman.
Are you implying I'm a suspect?
Give me a break.
Didn't Kataoka give you guns and tell you to make a raid on Kimura?
I don't give a damn if a yakuza like Kimura was killed.
Besides,
you haven't arrested the perp that killed Kato.
Damned if I know where he's at.
Shigeta speaking.
Nightclub shootout?
Is it Otomo?
Canvassing the area.
I'm heading back.
Detective?
Is Otomo back in Japan?
Mind your own business. We'll talk later.
The 2nd Division is short-handed.
Really?
Tell him to lay low for a while.
All contact with Chang must go through me from now on.
Yes, sir.
What did he say? To stay away from Chang?
Something like that.
It doesn't matter. Let's arrest Otomo on this.
We should, Shigeta.
For now, you're transferred to the 2nd Division.
Why am I off the case?
The order came from above.
Letting Otomo kill Yoshioka was perfect.
Surveillance cameras off.
We are now officially victims who happened to be there.
They will eventually conclude Otomo did it.
I think so, but...
what happens to the Kimura family?
I wish the Hanabishi would withdraw and return the turf.
That wouldn't be in our favor.
Besides, is the timing right for us to get it back?
They will suspect us. Think harder!
It's the Hanabishi.
Hello. Has something happened?
He's always sucking up to the Hanabishi!
Take action like Otomo!
Stupid asshole!
I was wondering if we could discuss what to do with Otomo.
I see.
Give me a call if you find anything.
Yeah.
It seems Otomo did it.
I'll call Chang.
A phone call from Mr. Nakata of the Hanabishi.
Nakata?
Tell him the secretary is unavailable to take messages.
Yes, understood.
His secretary is unavailable.
Please call back later.
That bastard Nakata.
He only made calls and complained.
A useless prick!
Who the hell is this Otomo anyway?
He's just a punk. Get rid of him.
I've arranged that.
Take care of business. Incompetent!
Yes.
Mr. Yoon sent us.
Thanks so much.
We are ready and at your service.
And Mr. Otomo?
In the car.
Good evening.
Get in.
Ask him how Mrs. Yoon is doing.
Yes.
How is Mrs. Yoon?
She's fine.
She sends her regards to Mr. Otomo.
He said she's fine.
She sends her regards.
Kill them, Ichikawa!
I shot my own man.
Where did they come from?
Sorry.
He said Mr. Yoon sent them to help us.
It must be the Hanabishi.
They even prepared these.
Only two of us left.
You got some mean weapons!
No surprise.
Got attacked?
So I've heard.
Put down your weapons.
We're unarmed.
Let's have a chat.
You ordered them to do it?
Why would we do that?
Hey, Otomo!
It was that bastard Nomura.
Long time no see.
I thought you were dead.
No more than you.
Nomura almost got me killed.
But some of us don't die easily.
It all started
with Hanada's stupid actions.
Show some fucking respect!
I didn't realize you were Mr. Otomo.
I apologize for my behavior in Jeju.
Please forgive me.
Things would have been different if you had told me who you were.
Your boss and I reached an agreement concerning Hanada.
But Nomura put his nose in other people's business again.
There's nothing left to do.
He must retire!
Your boss prefers that. Doesn't he?
Can you put all that behind us?
Maybe give us a helping hand?
We're throwing a welcome home party for an executive named Kono.
That bastard Nomura will be there.
I want you...
to dispose of him.
I will give you
the Kimura family if you can pull it off.
I don't want it.
So you won't go?
No.
The party's for him,
but his soldier did the killing.
He served five years.
Why should I give him exorbitant gift money?
I promoted him to executive.
Fine. I'll inform them.
Welcome Home, Mr. Naoki Kono
Way to go, Kono!
- What's going on? - Mr. Nomura is not coming.
No?
Typical of that greedy bastard!
All the better.
In his absence, I'll announce a thing or two
and show off some guns.
Everyone will jump to my side.
Yes.
By the way, Otomo will have my back. Send him a message.
Tell him we call off the plan to shoot Nomura.
He wasn't there the last time I checked.
What?
He's useless.
Thank you for such a great party.
I am greatly humbled to be in the presence
of so many of my superiors.
The honor is more than I deserve.
Chairman Nomura, Underboss Nishino,
and ranking deputy underbosses,
I shall honor your confidence in me.
I am dedicated to Hanabishi prosperity...
Underboss!
Kono.
Sorry to crash your party.
Listen up.
A few days ago,
I, Underboss Nishino,
was nearly killed
by Chairman Nomura.
If Nakata had not told me beforehand,
I would have been wiped from existence.
See?
You should know,
you who work your asses off to serve the family...
Nomura doesn't care shit about you.
All this to now say,
I must sever my loyal ties to him.
I ask you this:
side with Nomura
or side with me.
Choose now.
Good evening.
Sign in, please.
Otomo!
Who told you to shoot?
Mad motherfucker! You're out of your fucking mind.
Mad motherfucker!
Are you sure Nomura is at home?
Yes. I had them check.
That fiend Otomo
shot everything that moved.
He might have killed every Hanabishi.
I would have crushed Otomo in any other situation.
Forget it.
That fucker Nomura,
Otomo can have him!
He killed all of them?
Nakata, you're banished.
What would happen to us if all our guys got killed?
I'll tell you.
It was your plan.
You're banished.
Is that you?
Nishino, you're still alive!
Still? That's not nice.
You were plotting with Nakata to rub me out.
Nice guy Mr. Nakata kindly informed me of everything.
That's no way to speak to your sworn father.
Screw your father-son bullshit!
Nakata!
How dare you betray your boss?
Who's more important? Sworn father or brother?
Nomura...
We never ever thought of you
as a yakuza nor a father.
You don't have tattoos.
You've never been to prison.
You're a fucking amateur!
A fucking amateur who calls himself chairman of the Hanabishi.
You can't fool us!
Morishima, do something about him.
Why should I care?
You're just a retired office worker without your henchmen.
You too?
You're betraying me?
Betray is too strong a word.
It gives the impression that I was on your side.
Forgive me, Chairman.
You'll all regret this.
Hey,
Nomura.
If you're a real yakuza,
then pumping you with bullets is your end.
I can show you how gruesome yakuza really are.
- Take him out. - Yes!
What are you doing?
Take your hands off me!
I'm your Chairman!
Get out!
Stop it!
Who are you?
Here he is.
Just as I promised.
Otomo, what are you doing?
I'm Chairman of the Hanabishi.
You don't have what it takes.
I'm going to take you
on a little excavation.
Anybody out there?
Help! A man's stuck down here!
Help!
Oh, shit!
No, no. I'm here.
I'm stuck down here.
That was fucking close!
You could have killed me.
No...
Down here!
We have settled with the Hanabishi.
How do we avenge Ko's death?
I have some ideas.
Good.
There have been some complications.
Mr. Nomura has passed on.
We, survivors,
must work hard to restore the family.
As of today,
the Hanabishi is under new administration.
I am appointing myself as your new Chairman.
Nakata is your underboss.
Hanada is a deputy underboss.
I expect the new administration to commit to achieving prosperity.
Yes, sir!
Fine.
Sir.
One moment.
Thanks.
Yes. What is it?
Really? How was it?
Too much!
My answer?
Of course, yes!
Bye.
- Hanada. - Yes?
Why are you so wired? Going out for women again?
Sort of.
Mr. Nishino and Mr. Nakata arranged some girls for my celebration.
You don't even have proper henchmen.
They only treat you nicely because you pay a lot.
Want to come along, brother?
I don't approve of your perversions.
Obeying bureaucracy is the only way to get ahead on the police force.
Shigeta, don't be so cynical.
Give me an update.
I was thrown off an open case.
Nomura plotted to kill Nishino and to promote Nakata in his place.
Nishino and Nakata corresponded secretly to deceive Nomura.
The official story blames another family.
No one knows the real truth.
Really?
Congratulations on your promotion.
No need for sarcasm.
Don't bother. It's my treat.
Letter of Resignation
Mr. Nishino informed me.
The entrance is that way.
Fine.
But you're coming.
Sit down.
What are you doing here?
Good look!
You two can go.
Your mouth will see fireworks.
Otomo!
What do you want to talk about?
I heard Hanada was attacked.
It may not be safe here.
Right.
Not safe at all.
Hello?
Otomo made a raid on our office.
Give us a moment alone.
Excuse me.
Otomo was unexpectedly cooperative about our requests.
I didn't expect him to eliminate Hanada.
But of course.
After all, Hanada was the source of the problem.
Otomo is quite meticulous when it comes to sense of duty.
As long as we don't touch Chang,
he'll do what we ask.
Thanks to him,
we got control of Hanada's turf and revenue.
Your methods are increasingly more intricate.
My blood froze when he went haywire at the party.
What do you plan to do about Otomo?
Otomo!
He wreaked havoc on the Hanabishi.
That old-fashioned gangster definitely served us well.
We go for him to the bitter end.
What will you do?
That guy Lee who works for Chang said he would take on the task.
We are annoyed at Hanada's murder.
We want them to settle the score.
That's what we tell Lee.
Nishino called to inform me
Hanada has been killed.
I explained we had no part in it.
Tell Otomo
if he did it for me, then he's done enough.
Thank you.
Let me know if you come to Jeju.
I'll take you around.
We'll try that kimchi stew.
When will you be back?
I still have something to do.
Don't be too reckless.
I should get going.
We have no intention of making trouble for the Japanese police.
Thank you.
Did Otomo leave?
Yes. Ichikawa called a minute ago.
Tell him...
I want Otomo to call me.
Yes, I'll do that.
This auto shop?
The two guys who killed Kimura work here.
You should leave after this last job.
Otomo!
So, this is it.
Mr. Otomo,
forgive me.
I can't allow you to make anymore trouble for Mr. Chang.
No need, Mr. Lee.
I can take care of myself.
My regards to Mr. Chang.
Mr. Otomo is dead.
He is?
He told me to give you his regards.
Somethings pulling.
Did I catch one?
Got it, brother! We'll have that kimchi stew.
Look at that, brother.
