Shinjuku Incident

Quickly!

What'd he say?

How would I know? Just run!

Hurry, run or we won't get away!

Leave that! Let's go!

Japan 90's.

This is the third boatload

of illegal immigrants.

...to land in Wakasa Bay in 6 months.

Tokyo Shinjuku District.

I'll take you to a nice restaurant.

No, it's OK, maybe next time...

Come on, it's OK...

No... You're so rich and still you haggle...

Stop, don't run!

You can't escape.

Where do you think you're going? Oh no...

Let go, let me go!

Let go! Stop resisting!

Let me go!

Northeastern China.

Hey, little brother-in-law Hi.

Can I get through?

Yes.

Don't fool me.

I'm not, it's frozen solid!

You little rascal.

Who's your brother-in-law? My sister hasn't

said yes to you yet!

Let's go, let's go...

Where are you running off to?

My tractor's been destroyed by you!

That's the one.

No way, just from this scar.

You can prove my wife is a Japanese orphan?

What do you know?

Those days, getting cowpox vaccination was a

big deal.

Only the Japanese children could afford such

luxury.

You're great Auntie.

Just go along with it.

...and say they are your children.

Then they can claim to be descendants of

Japanese orphans.

And go to Japan legally.

Goodness, that's not possible.

It would be illegal Yes.

It can work!

It can work? Oh, no way.

Look, I can't have given birth to so many!

It's not like making buns you know!

Sure you can! Auntie Liu next door has 12!

Please auntie, say we are yours!

Let us have the chance to go!

Yes, give us a chance...

Steelhead.

Are you romancing me, or that machine?

Come up.

Come up.

My aunt in Tokyo wants me to go over. Should

I?

Will you come back?

Why wouldn't I?

You're worried I won't be

back? Can't bear to see me go?

Shameless!

If you don't want me to...

Follow your dream!

Once I make enough money, I'll be back.

Mail's here.

No need to look, nothing for you.

It's connected.

Thanks.

Jie, have you found her?

No, she has moved.

How can she just vanish?

That's the thing.

What about her aunt?

She died last month.

Died? How did she die?

We are at the scene of the shipwreck.

People of different nationalities are being

taken away by the police.

That's it, he must have been caught.

Another one, poor sod.

Jie, I've walked for two days.

Thank God, I thought you didn't make it.

Come on in.

Some tea, hurry.

Let me introduce you.

This is my brother from home, Steelhead.

This is Lao Gwei, Dai.

That's Auntie Hao and her daughter Mae.

Also just arrived. Now

helping us to clean and cook.

Hu and Fang.

I said slow down... Slower.

Don't choke.

God, he stinks.

When he's eaten, take him for a bath.

You have to hurry, we're closing soon.

Understood.

Come.

I'm surprised they have

bathhouses here, just like home.

This is the old area, some houses don't even

have toilets.

Idiots! Shut up!

So sorry.

Japanese mobsters, stay away.

Why are there so many louts here?

Tokyo has really gone to the dogs.

That's right! Ain't that the truth!

Damn it, if they had balls come to China.

See if I don't chop him into pieces.

How is life?

Fine, just tiring.

She moved away.

After her aunt died.

I've looked everywhere.

You should give up.

We'll talk after you get some rest.

Come on, get up Coming.

Move faster, or you won't get work.

Takadanobaba.

How've you been?

Same as before.

Is there any work?

I don't understand English.

Big brother... Wait.

Any work?

You're lucky, a foundation job.

Guaranteed a week, 6,000 yen a day.

Great!

Can my two buddies go with me?

Sure.

But, 6 times 7 is 42,000

First, fork over commission of 4,200 each.

Sure, sure, no problem...

Go on then.

Plastics with plastics, glass with glass.

Separate the flammable from the inflammable.

Don't be lazy!

Damn it, I thought it was foundation work.

Isn't all the land here foundation?

In 20 years, this'll all be full of villas.

Stop talking and get to work!

Separate them properly!

Plastics with plastics!

What's that guy doing?

Treasure hunting!

Treasure hunting?

Hey, hey...

That's mine!

The crane!

Hey! Stop! You're crushing him! Hey!

Someone's trapped underneath.

Quick, call the police!

They're calling the cops!

Illegal workers better run!

There's still someone there!

Run! Run!

Hurry up and help! Come on!

Run! They're calling the cops!

Thanks.

Run! Run!

Brother Steelhead, eat while it's hot.

I'm Hong Kong Boy.

You saved my life, I'll repay you 10 times.

I have a plumbing job in a few days.

Make sure you keep your word.

A little token, please take it.

Telephone cards.

No, I can't.

It's nothing.

How do you sell these?

Very cheaply, at a tenth of the price.

Get me 20 of those.

No problem, coming right up.

They're fake! You have to use them at green

pay phones.

The red ones have a detection system. Never

use those.

How are you, big brother?

Fine.

Brother Tai Bo, please give me another 20

cards.

Is 20 enough?

It's for a friend.

Look at you, didn't I

ask you to work with me?

There's a lot going on here! You can get

anything you want!

We are now at the Sanwa-kai headquarters...

...for the funeral of Mr Iwaida Jiro.

All major mob heads are here.

Police are being very cautious...

...and have sent a large contingent.

We also hear from a reliable source...

...that the mob leaders will...

...sit down and elect...

...a new head for Sanwa-kai today.

Excuse me.

Togawa Taro, 2 votes.

Muranishi Koichi, 5 votes.

Muranishi Koichi is the new leader.

The new leader is here!

Boss... Boss...

Our new leader, Muranishi Koichi.

Sub-head, Eguchi Toshinari Enter.

Kurata.

Do you know what I do?

I'm a police officer.

You ask me to crawl down a sewer?

Don't you know Iwaida Jiro is dead?

I haven't even had time to celebrate...

...and you want me to do this?

We received a citizen's complaint.

Then you should tell them.

It's the illegal workers

who clean the sewers.

A Japanese would never do such a dirty job.

If his toilet was blocked.

Sh*t would just pile up to his ass.

OK, all right.

After this, I'll buy you some drinks

Lead the way.

The number of illegals has

gone up in the past 2 months.

The brass needs to clean things up.

He's the Chinese interpreter.

I see.

I studied some Chinese in college.

But I'm not fluent. Can you understand me?

I can follow you.

Because I'm also Japanese.

Oh... He really does understand me?

Forget it.

Watch your step.

OK:

Stay where you are!

Cops!

Steelhead, run! Go!

Cops! Run!

Don't run!

Stop!

Round them up for questioning.

Show your ID

Take out your IDs.

Keep quiet!

Can you speak Putonghua? Speak it!

What's happening?

I can't understand them.

Aren't you the interpreter?

They are speaking in dialect.

Besides Beijingnese, Cantonese, what else is

there?

Several hundred others!

Oh really?

How much do you earn a day?

He said only 8,000

What's your point?

This kind of work pays at least 15,000 yen.

It's too little.

Is my Chinese OK? Can you understand me?

Yes I can.

Get them out of here.
