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. While running from a police raid through the sewage system where Chinese are illegally working, Tietou saves Inspector Kitano from drowning in the dirty water.

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.

How many of you are there?

Where do you live?

Tell me and I'll let you go.

Just my luck... What?

I said I'm really ill-fated!

You?

I'm the unlucky one!

Keep him down!

Just your luck?

You're ill-fated?

There's trouble.

Jie's being held by the Taiwan gang!

What?

Let's go!

What? Still not talking?

No!

Fine then! Drag him over here!

Put him down!

I gave you a chance.

Now you'll regret it!

Jie.

There's quite a few of you!

You the leader then?

Tell your people never to

step foot in Shinjuku again.

If I ever catch any of you again.

I guarantee.

It will be much worse than this.

Jie... it's OK

How are you doing?

Hang on.

Hand... Give me back the hand.

You want his hand?

Sure.

You want the hand?

Here!

Quickly, let's go home.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Go, quickly!

Perhaps... I should have killed him!

Auntie Hao, the doctor is here.

Quickly... Come in.

The doctor is here.

The doctor is here.

This is unacceptable!

We should go and teach Gao a lesson!

Yes, we should chop off his hands!

And scoop out his brains! Right?

Chop them up.

Let's go!

Hey, what are you doing?

You think he's stupid enough

to sit and wait for us?

Aren't we going to pay him back?

You like talking about it?

If you want, just do

it, don't talk about it!

Don't be impulsive, calm down.

Let's think this through!

What do we do?

Jie, what do you want? Water?

I want my hand.

Give me my hand...

I know you and Eguchi are tight.

I know he'll come tonight.

Togawa-san.

Is the head of Togawa-gumi in agreement?

Eguchi-san has been good to me.

Gao-san, I represent my father today.

You won't be disappointed.

You mean, the offer...

...is something I can't refuse?

My father said...

...if you kill Eguchi.

He will give you Kabuki-cho.

On opening night.

Did you see Eguchi's wife?

Yes, she's quite pretty.

She's... Yuko, right?

Her name is Xiu Xiu.

She used to work as a hostess.

She looks very Japanese!

Boss, we're really going to do it?

I've wanted to for a long time.

Had I not played hard to get...

...that wily Togawa would

not have agreed to my terms!

Ask the Japanese staff to go home.

Then get the place ready.

Eguchi-san is here.

Welcome Thank you.

Business has been good this month.

Especially at shop 2

It's up 20 percent from last month.

See here.

Faster than I expected.

Yes.

It should do even better next month.

Yes.

Grab him!

Sorry, boss!

I don't really want to kill you!

Kill!

Run!

Kill him! Kill him!

Run!

Not here! Go!

I... Have seen you before.

Thank you.

They're back... Step aside!

Deputy chairman.

I apologise for your fright!

Darling.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Your old friend saved me.

I'm going to change, please attend to him.

Are you hurt?

No, it's nothing.

Mum, is he your friend?

This is my daughter, Ayako.

Were you bitten by a mosquito?

She looks like you.

Steelhead.

Don't think badly of me.

Don't be silly.

I was just a little worried.

Now I feel better.

You're doing all right.

I am now called Eguchi Yuko.

Don't worry, I understand.

Ayako, come here.

Thank him for me.

He says thank you.

Tell him that before Gao tried to kill him.

A young man named Togawa came to see him.

Before you arrived at the bar.

A man called Togawa was there.

Ask him what he's doing now?

He wants to know what you are doing now?

Just crappy jobs.

Just small jobs here and there.

If he is willing to help me.

I will pay him well.

However much he wants.

He asks.

If you'll work for him.

He can pay you well.

However much you want.

Please tell him, it's all right.

Please thank him.

Go home and see your mother if you can.

She cries every time she thinks of you.

Can you believe the irony?

Your ex saves your husband's life.

I'm sorry.

Branch leader Togawa Taro.

...actually asked an

outsider to kill his sub-head.

If we don't expel him.

...there will be unrest.

Where's your proof?

If you slander my father

again, I'll kill you!

What do you intend to do?

Shut up!

Any more and you will leave!

Sanwa-kai's secret of survival...

...is unity!

Whoever brings up the word "expel" again...

...won't get away with it.

Eguchi.

I can't see why Togawa

would want to kill you.

Do you?

Eguchi has been eyeing Kansai.

That's why I think the Osaka faction did it.

Give me a little time to investigate.

Go bow to Togawa-gumi's leader.

Wipe out the past.

Let's make a peaceful new start.

Steelhead, how's he doing?

Fever's not gone?

No, a bit delirious.

Maybe he's having nightmares.

Steelhead.

A Japanese guy to see you.

This reminds me of home when I was a kid.

Please sit down.

Is this your girlfriend?

I'm Lily.

You are very fluent.

Would you translate please?

He wants me to translate.

There's no need.

I want you to get rid of two guys for me.

Why me?

I can't use my own men.

Who are these two men?

One is the head of Togawa-gumi.

The other is the head

of Sanwa-kai, Muranishi.

OK, I'll do it.

But you have to agree to all my terms.

Firstly.

You need to get me legal status in Japan.

Then, you'll give me the Taiwan gang's

territories!

We not only have the same tastes.

We also work the same way.

Togawa-gumi is crazy!

We can't sit around and do nothing!

I'm going to kill you!

Maruyama is dead!

Attack with full force!

Go!

Recent attacks in Shinjuku...

...have been classified critical.

Ordinary citizens are in danger.

Togawa!

To prevent things from going out of control.

The area commanders will take control.

Organised Crime Division.

Eguchi Toshinari, head of the Eguchi clan...

His follower Nakajima Hiromasa.

And the late Muranishi Koichi...

...were close...

That guy Tanaka... isn't

he a political bigwig?

What are they doing?

Black gold politics has existed forever.

Don't be naive.

Gangs, yakuza, showbiz.

You can't separate one from the other these

days.

It's called capitalism.

The dead have no more value.

But the riches in this world still do.

Vengeance must be resolved.

In-fighting must cease.

Eguchi...

...is hereby appointed head of Sanwa-kai.

Togawa Taro is dead.

Kyohei is Togawa Taro's heir.

He'll handle the same territories.

I've asked two friends to be witnesses.

Any opposition?

Tanaka-san is elderly.

Don't give him cause for worry.

You'll follow his orders, right?

We will watch over you.

You catch my drift?

Kitano-san, they're coming over.

Why is he beside Eguchi?

Kabuki-cho's merchant list.

Give Shinjuku territories to Steelhead.

Boss, that's not right.

How can I explain it to our men?

The Chinese cannot be trusted!

He saved my life.

What's wrong with giving Gao's territory to

him?

Letting the Chinese control

the Chinese might work.

More importantly.

...he will draw Togawa

arrows like a bullseye.

But, boss...

Enough, just do as I say.

I can't go against the boss' orders.

But I want you to know.

I, Nakajima Hiromasa, despise you people!

Brothers, onward to Shinjuku!

May wealth pour in.

Brother Steelhead, congratulations.
