While illegally emigrating to Japan, Tietou loses his Chinese documents and so cannot return to his country. He is welcomed by his countrymen who lodge and work in Shinjuku where they also help him to find illegal work.

He is the husband of Xiu Xiu, who is now called Yuko and are parents of a little daughter. The mobster offers a dirty job to Tietou; in retribution, he promises to deliver the quarter dominated by the Taiwan gang to him. Tietou becomes the boss of the Chinese illegal immigrants.

Don't arrest me, please.

Run! Run!

No running!

Stay where you are!

Watch out! Over there!

Help... I can't swim.

Give me your hand.

Steelhead, run! Hurry!

Don't run.

Wait.

Run.

Doesn't anyone guard the place?

The Japanese don't steal,

so they think others won't.

Fools!

Come, take this.

This is worth nothing, get the LVs.

...and the Guccis.

They're at department stores.

Steal these, they're the hottest.

I'll give you 20 percent

of the market price.

All these are stolen goods.

The Southeast Asian buyers.

All come here to buy.

Some customers order in advance too.

The harder it is to steal,

the higher the price.

Come, freshly grilled.

Have it while it's hot So slow!

I'll tell you who they are.

The crew cut is from Vietnam.

The effeminate one behind you is from

Shanghai.

Those on the other side... The loud ones.

...are from Fujian.

The people here...

...are capable of doing anything.

Do they work with each other?

They're all in different

gangs, so probably not.

Don't listen to him.

This year, everyone is under the same sky.

Money is king! No money, no brethren.

Get lost if you have no money!

Don't talk rubbish!

Let me show you something.

Come over, come on.

You eat first... Come over.

I'll show you a trick, just a slip of paper.

You spend nothing, but you have cigarettes.

And you have spare change.

Steelhead.

I see an aggressive streak in you.

It'd be a waste if you

don't take short cuts.

I don't want to be deported.

Deported... You scared? Stop the

nonsense.

Just ignore him.

I'll bring you back.

Come back and play again, right?

I'll wait outside.

Are you new?

Get yourself some food.

Lily Yes.

Go.

Be careful.

I'm drunk, Lily takes care of me.

If you get drunk, I'll take care of you.

Give me your money.

I have no money.

Hand over your money!

Let go... What are you doing?

Mito-san.

Let me go...

What are you doing?

You... what are you doing?

Help! Help!

Help! Help! Run!

Help...

Thank you... Thank you.

Are you OK?

Oh, it's you.

I hit the jackpot today.

Mito-san.

Sister.

Mito-san, your head is bleeding! Come and

help.

I'm pissed off.

No, don't drink any more.

Give me a drink! Sit down first...

I can't calm down without booze.

Wang, bring the first aid box

Right away.

Come... Sit.

Here's the box.

I don't know how to thank you.

Money's the most practical, please take it.

I still need to return this money to you.

Thanks.

I'm looking to hire someone.

Why not come and help me?

It's OK, I have work.

Let me get you a drink.

Wang, bring some food.

What would you like? I'll go prepare it.

Anything will do OK

No need to be curious.

They're all working students.

I purposely opened this

bar at a quiet location.

I wanted to keep things simple.

Kabuki-cho is too uncivilised.

Zunaku is a hostess bar.

It's yours?

Yes!

If you're lonely or troubled.

Just come here for a drink.

This place is meant to sooth sorrows.

I envy her.

I too would like a man to

search the world for me.

You don't have a man?

No good man!

Good men like good women.

Wrong! Good men like bad women.

So you're a bad woman looking for a good

man.

Right! You're so right!

Ah, problems, everyone has their problems.

Are you doing OK at work?

I'm doing OK

That's good. Don't rush yourself.

When people are in a hurry, they stray from

the path.

What do you want?

You're obstructing justice,

you're under arrest.

Reject the Anti-yakuza

bill, protect our rights.

Can you please elaborate on...

...how the Japanese mafia can co-exist with

other legal organizations?

They don't exactly co-exist.

It is a long and complicated story.

Can you give us a simplified explanation?

It's rather difficult...

Tell the branches to burn all papers.

And cease operations Yes.

No one is to use any violence.

Don't give the cops any excuse to hold us.

Understood.

Move out! Yes!

Hurry up! There's no time!

Hurry!

Sir, times have changed.

Sanwa-kai cannot survive on old rules.

We need radical changes.

Togawa Taro from Togawa-gumi...

...will never accept your suggestion.

Perhaps, but Togawa-gumi is pushing things.

The cops will use this

as an excuse to arrest us.

We can't treat him as the enemy.

We can't have Sanwa-kai in disarray.

And we certainly cannot anger Togawa Taro.

I understand.

Welcome.

Good evening, Eguchi-san.

Please come in.

Here you go.

Who is that man?

Big shots!

Look, look.

The one in red...

...is Gao, the Taiwan gang's leader.

The fiercest in Shinjuku.

I think the tall guy beside him.

...is probably a mobster.

Jie, is that her?

Surely not.

Isn't it?

Hey, what are you doing?

Don't go.

Nakajima, take the things in.

I can take them.

No need.

Nakajima, do you need to move some stuff?

Thank you.

If it's not enough, there's more inside.

Thank you.

That man just now...

...seemed quite taken with you.

He is from my village.

Under the circumstances, I didn't dare greet

him.

I didn't want to embarrass you.

Yuko.

We've been together so long.

Why would I discriminate against the

Chinese?

Some people discriminate against foreigners.

I think that's too extreme, and naive.

Don't you agree, Nakajima?

Many Chinese have come to Kabuki-cho.

They're creating a mess there.

Actually, they are no different from us.

Just trying to make a living.

Do you know how many Chinese...

...helped to build Kabuki-cho after the war?

Never mind.

Yuko.

If you meet your friends again.

Just make contact with them.

I won't mind.

I've been keeping this

for a special occasion.

Tonight, it's bottoms up!

Come!

Ah... Enough, enough...

What's up?

Waiting is such torture.

Now we have the answer, great!

Come, let's paint the town!

Good, paint the town!

Stop! What are you doing?

Don't run!

Come down!

Run!

My papers! My papers!

Squat down!

I can't go back.

Since I'm on the road of no return.

I should make life better for myself.

I'll make some money and make myself legal.

I can't live in the shadows forever.

You mean...

You want to skirt the law?

What do you think?

My problem is I'm a coward.

I just want a pushcart

to sell Tianjin chestnuts.

That's my biggest ambition.

Every dream needs money.

Excuse me, brother Tai Bo.

My buddy Steelhead has a deal for you.

Let's sit and chat.

What's to talk?

Can you move that much?

I have people.

Good! Just show me the money!

Remember, it's 1,000 for 8 cards.

If they bargain, just

throw in a couple free.

Phone cards... Phone cards...

Phone cards... Phone cards...

If you want to make more, sell fake cards!

To pose as tourists, you must behave like

them.

What do you think? Beautiful?

Remember, look for the expensive stuff!

Hong Kong Boy, come over.

This is good.

Look at this, this one... it's good.

PACHINKO:

I've secretly rigged this machine.

I'll teach you a special way to play it.

It will spit out tens of

thousands of yen every day.

It's steady income.

We've to get 600,000

yen to go into business.
