DIRECTED BY TERUO ISHII

In the world of the Yakuza, there are two rules.

One should not steal or have affairs with married women.

Boss, they're here!

Kill them!

Kill them!

Retreat! Retreat!

Fucking fools!

Hey, open the door! Open it!

It's Shinkichi.

Oren, it's your brother Shinkichi!

- Is that Shinkichi? - We have defeated them.

We own their territory now!

Boss!

Listen, everyone.

You will each get a bonus according to your performance today.

Thank you!

- Everyone, show me your swords. - Eh?

Just do as I say.

Tomozo, you did a fine job. Without you, we might've lost.

You will be in charge of the gambling house in Tonemura.

- Thank you. - Congratulations, brother!

Very good.

Good, good.

Good work.

That's incredible!

It looks like a saw. You must've killed at least ten of them.

Very good.

Here, buy yourself a new one.

Thank you.

Good.

Shinkichi, what's this?

Show me that sword, you idiot.

No one expects you to have killed as many as Tomozo or Mamushi.

Give it to me.

How many men did you kill with this? There's not even a nick in it.

Pathetic! You ought to be ashamed.

Do you want to join your dead comrades?

Boss! Please hold on.

- I can explain. - Explain?

The truth is, Shinkichi didn't fight with that sword.

I gave him my sword instead.

You mean to tell me that it's your fault this sword is still sharp, Tsune?

I was suddenly overcome with fear. Please forgive me.

That's no excuse!

Forgive me.

Is that it, Tsune?

You should not take Yakuza rules so lightly.

I understand...

- Stop! Please, stop! - This is men's business.

I know, but please forgive him.

Shut up. The rules must be maintained.

Boss, I understand your anger.

But please, let me take care of Tsune.

I see.

Very well, if you feel so strongly.

About Tsune and what happened the other day...

I don't want to hear about it.

But he's truly sorry. You must forgive him.

Shut up!

I give shelter to many a young delinquent.

I have to set an example.

Tsune should be grateful that I'll take no further action.

I'm going out.

Setsu, please listen to me.

You must stay away from that gangster!

It's nothing to worry about, Father.

Please just get some rest.

Shohei, wait.

I know you were listening.

I'm sure father will forgive you if you leave the Yakuza.

- Right... - Shohei, do you do it for this money?

No, the money has nothing to do with it.

Buy some medicine with it.

Why is it, then?

The Yakuza have a code. Nothing can be done!

Shohei!

- How did you get that cut? - I finally received the Yakuza marking.

But you promised me that you'd leave!

Setsu, take care of your father.

Shohei!

Rolling the dice.

- It's odd! - Even, even!

Don't look so glum, Tsune. How about a drink?

Thanks to you, brother, I am still here.

Never mind that.

Shohei. We're going to Masagotei.

Why don't you come after the gambling's over?

Let's go.

It's a good gambling house, with good customers.

- They make a lot of money. - Yes, but so do you.

What do you mean?

There are two taboos in the Yakuza world.

Stealing and messing with other people's women.

It'll cost you more than just a finger to make up for breaking those rules.

- Bastard! - What are you doing? Get off!

There it is!

I get it, I get it.

You're worried about this, right?

You can keep it.

But remember, I have my troubles as well.

So, Tsune, why are you protecting Shinkichi?

I'm not protecting him.

I don't believe you. You're not the type to run from a fight.

Please, don't ask me anymore about it.

Well, alright. I won't ask about it.

Please pardon my selfish request.

- Stupid bitch! - What are you doing?

Silence! Don't you know who Shinkichi of the Kuroiso family is?

- Stop that. - Get out of my way.

- You'd best leave. - You leave!

He's using my name. I can't allow this.

Bring him to me.

- You, come with me. - Why?

Boss, please...

...forgive me!

Silence! Bind him.

Boss, he's just a kid.

I know you're angry, but just let him go.

If the Boss says that a black crow is white, then it's white.

- That's the Yakuza law. - Forgive me.

Tie him up and take him to the river.

- Get up. - Wait! Please, wait!

I'll do anything. Please, just let him go.

Please!

You'd do anything?

Yes.

I pity her.

If only she could escape.

Here she is, Boss.

Come in at once.

Not you, idiot. Get out.

Fool.

Young lady! Come in, come in.

- Come closer. - What are you going to do?

This is what a man and a woman do when they're alone!

Let go of me!

Be quiet!

I should've given two of my fingers

so that both of them could have escaped.

Oren and Shinkichi could have had a better life.

Oren! What brings you here?

I came to see if you were alright.

Actually, I came to apologize.

Does the Boss know you're here?

No. I haven't told anyone.

That's no good. If he hears about this...

I had to apologize.

You've gone through so much because of Shinkichi.

Don't worry about it.

I'm the one... who should be apologizing to you.

No, don't say that.

Shinkichi was pretending to be a Yakuza.

Who was that?

That bastard Mamushi.

Such bad timing...

I have to sell this land, so you can run away.

But what will happen to you?

Don't worry about me. Just leave.

It's already too late after what he's done to my body.

Don't say such foolish things.

I've finally found someone who cares about me.

Someone I can count on.

Tsune...

In the world of the Yakuza, there are two rules.

One should not steal or have affairs with married women.

Mamushi said he didn't see anything.

Tsune, what are you thinking about?

Don't worry so much. Let's drink.

I'll talk to the Boss when he's in a good mood.

Thank you.

Excuse me!

Oh, Shohei.

Tomozo, the gambling profits.

Good work. Have a drink.

Thank you.

- Excuse me. - Excuse me.

You must've made a lot of money tonight.

This isn't as much as I was hoping for.

That place should be earning 50 ryo a night.

Do you mean I'm not doing a good job?

- Are you answering me back, Tomozo? - Not at all, sir.

Only, you were kind enough to make me manager,

but it appears I'm not capable.

Are you saying you're not up to the job?

Yes.

- Please allow me to resign. - Very well.

Leave.
