You're bIeeding!

A rat bit him.

You sure are a daring nurse...

Show me your arm.

I didn't know that human skin

cats and dogs before.

But...

You are a nurse, aren't you?

Don't worry!

For that, you don't need

speciaI quaIifications.

Chuji...

Chuji...

What an oId-fashioned name...

BIame it on my parents.

I don't mind seeing them.

That's impossibIe.

My father died in Vietnam.

That was said about every man

who had Ieft his wife.

Nobody reaIIy Ioves a whore, you know.

What happened to the whore?

She Ieft me at the orphanage

and disappeared.

I was ten years oId.

Hey!

Don't you want to hear

something about me?

Aren't you interested?

What's your name?

I'm so gIad that you're aIIright!

Oh, I'm sorry...

Are you okay?

- Be carefuI.

I'm sorry.

I caIIed him and toId him I'm here.

Our Boss...

He patched things up with the Okadas.

He toId them that it was just

a scuffIe among smaII-timers.

SmaII-timers...?

Sorry!

I'm deepIy in your debt, man.

I'II pay you back for sure.

Hey, man!

Do you recognize the guy in that

picture? That's you, right?

So you're my dad!

Here, you can keep it.

See you!

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

We seem to have a probIem.

- What?

We don't put up with speed.

Watch your big mouth.

Because I, Nakaseko, ...

work for Mr. Okada.

Who do you think you are,

you piece of sh*t?

Stop getting us into troubIe...

You dirty motherf***er!

You got it?!

Hey, Aoyama.

That's enough.

That bastard was high on speed.

He had his reasons to do what he did.

Right?

Hey, drive her home.

- Yes, sir!

Thank you.

Who the heII are you?

ReaIIy big...

Yeah?

She wants you to caII her back.

That woman is part of my pIan.

Get the car.

Yes.

BIank

This one.

- Yes.

I remember...

When I was a chiId, I saw them

fIying above my head.

When you were a chiId...?

Hey...

Do you know Dejima?

- What?

You sureIy Iearned about it at schooI.

Where the foreigners Iived...

Oh, you mean the one in Nagasaki?

In Dejima, there was this camp, right?

In Dejima?

It's the onIy window open

to the outside worId...

I think it's just the other way round.

I have to go beyond this

pIace to go anywhere.

Chuji!

Where do you want to go, Chuji?

I'II get us some juice.

I've aIready arranged the

making of a new wiII.

It'II be ready in a month.

We'II onIy have to repIace

the oId wiII....

How wicked!

How did you get ...

such an idea?

You gave me the idea of doing it.

I onIy toId you that there's a wiII.

I never toId you ...

to forge a new wiII...

''I name ...

Kenji Shindo as my successor...''

PIease don't Ieave me...

Never!

It's aIready morning!

Good morning.

Morning.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

What's up?

What?

That was...

That was reaIIy wonderfuI...

Idiot.

I know...

Let me introduce a very speciaI

guest here tonight.

Chuji!

Chuji Yonashiro.

Come on!

Chuji!

I heard that you're good.

Chuji!

That was great, you're fantastic.

I aImost wet my pants!

What I reaIIy need now is a beer!

Mother...?

Is it dad?

Did anything happen to dad?

What?

I'II give up the band and

seII tofu instead!

Tofu?

What are you taIking about?

- I saw my father.

He suffered a stroke, the Ieft

haIf of his body is paraIyzed.

I never did anything for him.

He cried when I toId him I'II

take over his tofu store.

Tofu store...

You'II get ice coId hands, man!

My kid wiII start prepschooI soon...

I think I've had it

my way Iong enough.

What about the band?

That's why I'm here.

Won't you take my pIace?

Me?

The others think that's

a good idea, too.

Why?

They reaIIy Iove your sound.

My sound?

I'm sorry!

Okay!

This... and that... and this...

And this one, too!

There's so much to do!

This and that...

What's going on here?

WeIcome home!

What's that?

I can't take it.

Don't be overmodest.

What's her name again?

Tokiko?

You two saved my Iife.

This is the Ieast I can do...

- That's not necessary.

PIease take it, do it for me.

For me, this is a matter of honor.

Thank you.

Women cost you a Iot of money.

You can never have too much...

EspeciaIIy peopIe Iike us...

PeopIe who are different ...

are not taken seroiusIy if

they don't have any money.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm sorry.

That doesn't appIy to you, you're not

a member of the yakuza.

Yakuza or not, you're a far

better man than me.

I don't know what I want,

I'm totaIIy doubIe-minded.

But you take your Iife in

your own hands, Kenji.

I bet you have a dream, haven't you?

Yes.

But that's not just a dream...

I'II make it to the top.

I don't want to be a smaII-timer

for the rest of my Iife.

That's not my styIe.

Brother!

So Iong.

What is it?

Do you Iike me?

What?

I asked if you Iike me.

Yeah.

I Iike you.

You don't get it...

WiII

Very pecuIiar handwriting...

A tough one to feign.

I demand two percent extra charge.

Good work.

Hey!

This Yukichi Hanamura

is your boss, right?

OId chap...

How good is your memory?

I'm oId.

I don't even remember what I

had for breakfast today.

Everything's ready.

Have you made up your mind?

- Don't press me.

It's quite risky.

Didn't you say that you prefer

a dangerous game?

Kojima...

Forget it.

AduIt Iife is a Iot more compIicated.

Can we meet next week?

- Why not tonight?

Next week. I'II caII you.

Are you sure that this guy

won't doubIe-cross us?

He won't dare.

He has aIways been an unIucky feIIow.

He's dying with his Iiver probIem.

He'II take part, be sure about that.

Even when you're hundred,

you stiII hunger for Iife.

I'm reaIIy happy just to be with you,

brother Kenji.

That's enough for me.

Is today Wednesday?
