Ambition Desire

1
Miho, it's okay.
Your big sister's right here with you.
1986 - SUNFLOWER ORPHANAGE
Nishiki, you're a shorty, ain't ya?
Nice to meet you.
- Big brother.
- Miho.
SUNFLOWER ORPHANAGE
So close!
You trying to make me a murderer?
I'm sorry!
We wouldn't need the police or Yakuza
around if "sorry" were enough.
- What is this place?
- I'm sorry!
- An orphanage?
- Poor orphans.
You got abandoned, huh?
- We weren't abandoned!
- We don't need your pity!
- Don't underestimate me!
- Right, bring it on!
What the hell are you doing? Get off!
- Come at me!
- Bring it on, kid.
You're dead, you little bastard.
You ain't gonna kill me!
Kazuma, hurry!
How far are we going?
As far as we want to! Just keep running!
Yumi!
Yumi.
What a mess!
2005 - KAMUROCHŌ
What the heck happened here?
Find her.
What the hell?
What the frack!
- What's going on?
- No gun?
- Where's the woman?
- Gimme the gun!
Where is she?
What's it like being back on home turf?
This isn't the city I know.
Hey.
Hurry up, would ya?
There's a line behind ya.
Sorry, I'm making
a serious decision right now.
"Serious decision," he says.
Haven't seen you around.
This changing room is for everyone.
Need me to teach you a lesson?
Son of a bitch!
I'm terribly sorry. My bad.
- Call the police.
- They're here.
That will be 43,000 yen.
What the hell is going on?
Were you raised in a barn?
Hey, Oyagoroshi. Long time no see.
- I don't know anything!
- Spit it out!
Hey. Get me the documents.
- Please believe me.
- Your place in Dōgenzaka--
Kamurochō has completely changed
while you've been locked up.
Two years ago,
Kanemura, Tojo's number two,
was killed at a BBQ restaurant
in Kamurochō.
A Satanic symbol was carved
into the body of Kanemura
and his associate.
You probably don't know
about the Demon of Shinjuku.
The Demon?
I bet The Demon is behind Aiko,
the woman who stole the cash.
Aiko, that bitch.
She was apparently the manager
of a manga cafe,
but was selling meth
to the kids hanging around there.
Who sells meth to pay off debts?
What's this got to do with me?
Tojo runs this manga cafe.
With a dummy company behind it
to launder money.
It's ridiculous.
The higher-ups are making a fuss,
saying the troublemaker is turning this
into an annoying problem.
Listen.
Don't you want to help look for Aiko?
Why should I?
You know her, right?
A Yakuza war will start
if you don't step in.
- I don't care.
- Things could get real messy. C'mon.
By the way, didn't Yumi Sawamura
also get taken out?
That's what I heard.
LIKE A DRAGON: YAKUZA
I didn't win. See?
DOUJIMA CLAN, 1995
Damn, it's hot. Yo.
Sir.
- Sir.
- Yo.
Nice job.
- Have some ice cream.
- Thank you.
- Here.
- Thank you.
Look at the shine on it. Nice.
Careful here.
This Jaguar ornament
costs five million yen.
Someone got killed
for damaging it a while ago.
He was a good fella.
I'm just messing with ya.
Of course I'm kidding.
I almost pissed myself.
But there's no point
being a yakuza who's all talk.
Right?
If you two wanna move up the ranks,
you should learn
from a capable guy like me.
Got it?
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
Put your hands together.
Three, two!
Again!
Again!
Congratulations.
Suga.
Use this to buy everything
these girls need.
I'll take care of you.
Starting today, I'm your father.
Make me proud.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- Eat up. The rest of you too.
- Go ahead.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- What do we do?
- Take one.
You sure?
We're free!
Watch out!
KAMUROCHŌ TENKAICHI STREE
Hey now!
- Who the hell are they?
- They're Doujima!
- You kidding me?
- Pardon me.
They are Doujima Clan.
- Don't mess with them.
- Did you see that?
Here we go.
This map is useless.
This is getting heavy.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Hello. Morning.
This place is empty,
so you can use till it's sold.
- Come in.
- It's huge!
We can take a bath whenever we want!
There's no hot water for it.
The men's bath! I want to see it!
- One last one.
- No!
- Hey, Miho?
- Yeah?
Wait a minute.
Good night.
- Night.
- Night.
Okay.
How about this one?
- Try it on.
- Okay!
You look beautiful.
Have confidence in yourselves.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
Kazuma!
Hey.
Come here.
- Let's eat.
- Yes!
- Really? Nice.
- Wow! Here!
Is this for us too?
It's not safe here.
Let's go home together.
- Go!
- Thanks.
Hurry up!
You're reading Aiko's letters again?
Don't worry about me.
It's been ten years since Aiko ran away
from Sunflower Orphanage.
I wonder what she's doing.
Want to see her again?
Not really.
I miss her a lot.
- What's that?
- I'm practicing.
I heard that international clients
are more generous.
Once I make a killing
and save up a bunch of money,
I wanna go to another country.
And then,
I wanna eat pancakes
and soft serve ice cream.
Then
once I've had a baby, found happiness,
and become an old lady,
I'll die!
You doofus.
- Doesn't that sound nice?
- What?
Aren't there other things you wanna do?
- Pretty cool, huh?
- What?
- Take that!
- The heck?
That hurt.
This Millennium Tower
will be a multi-purpose complex combining
a 10,000-guest-capacity concert hall,
a high-end shopping mall,
and luxurious offices
and residences.
It will be a place that combines living,
entertainment, and food.
But it doesn't stop there.
I want to repay Kamurochō.
As a child who had suffered,
it was Kamurochō
that rescued me
and showed me how to live as a man.
I want to make it
the central business district of Tokyo.
To realize my dream,
I need to consolidate the ownership
of the land I require
to construct this tower.
I would like to ask you all
for your assistance
in investing in the future.
Thank you.
- Well done.
- Thank you very much.
- Please sponsor this project.
- Of course.
I doubt savage apes
are capable of conducting fair business.
- What the hell'd you say?
- Excuse me.
- Suga.
- Yes, sir.
What?
What are you laughing about?
Here. Checkmate!
- Checkmate?
- Now what?
I don't get it.
Mr. Shibusawa!
- Hello, sir.
- Yo.
- Sir.
- Sorry for interrupting you.
- What's the matter?
- Have some chestnuts.
Thank you.
Look.
I want to ask you two
to do something for me.
May my father rest in peace.
Cheers.
I don't get why a veteran like my father
bought a temple from the GHQ.
He was someone
who lived his life the way he wanted to.
I'm sure
he must have felt a connection
to this country.
That's why I want to respect
my father's wishes.
I declined Doujima's invitation.
I want you to stay alert.
Doujima will rise
to the top of the Tojo Clan
if the Millennium Tower is built.
People like you will likely get dragged in
if that happens.
I'll be fine. I'm very careful.
Don't underestimate Doujima.
I know.
You have my word, Kazama.
I've already taken precautions.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
My class ran long.
Perfect timing. Care for a drink?
Thank you. I'd love one.
Your birthday's coming up, right?
My birthday?
I've got a present for you.
In my country,
there was the Great Hanshin Earthquake,
the Tokyo subway sarin attack,
and all kinds of elements
that bring instability.
No, that's enough!
This is the problem
with young girls these days.
My apologies.
But I don't want to take advantage
of people's misfortunes for gain.
What's with you?
You don't get it at all.
Are you telling me to pour my own drink?
Excuse me.
Yumi, please.
Thank you for your time.
- She was out of line!
- Sorry, sir.
What's with her? Hey, get other girl.
Why don't you have some alcohol
to give you a hand?
Focus on the client and what they want.
Tell them what they want to hear.
In the nightlife district,
just showing up won't be enough.
Understand?
Yes.
I'll be careful.
It's commendable
that you are open to feedback.
But you fail
to recognize your own talents.
Despite having such an allure,
you're unaware of it.
Madame, he's taking his leave.
Go, go, go!
- Thank you!
- Chug, chug, chug!
Here I go!
Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!
Miho.
Miho?
- Are you okay?
- Miho?
Miho?
Miho. Miho?
Miho?
Hey.
He's at the Maharaja right now.
No, the Maharaja.
Come on. Hurry up!
We need the deed to the land
and the official seal.
- Please make it quick.
- Yes, sir.
Please enter the security code.
Come on.
- Which one?
- Top.
Here.
The code.
Eight Three.
The safe is here.
Mr. Shibusawa?
Mr. Shibusawa.
What's that?
This saved me when booze almost killed me.
So it'll save me again today too.
It's for good luck, then?
May luck be on our side.
Geez. This doesn't cut at all.
What's up with it?
Well,
I stole it from a welder friend.
- What?
- Yes.
Are you a dumbass?
- Fucking hell.
- Sorry.
- Open it up with this.
- Yes, sir.
- Here.
- Where?
Hit it.
Open it up.
Damn it!
Give it to me. I'll do it.
All right.
Hold it down.
There.
The deed. Another deed.
Found it. The deed to the land!
Yes, this is it!
This'll please the boss
and score us a promotion!
This is the one. Here.
Now the seal, the seal.
It's gone.
He's on the move. He's coming this way.
- Hello? Where the hell are you?
- In the back of the room!
Where is he?
He's not here.
- Did he really go in here?
- I saw him! Seriously, I did.
- Is he here?
- No.
I really did see him!
Where the hell did that bastard
hide his seal?
- Blood?
- What?
- Blood?
- Yeah, it's blood.
What the
C'mon.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Hey. What am I doing right now?
You're urinating.
That's right.
I'm pissing.
I'm here because I needed to piss.
So I haven't seen anything.
What the fuck?!
Who did this?
Huh?
You morons!
Who asked you guys to steal it?
You idiots screwed up!
This is genuine.
We can coax
the Legal Affairs Bureau with this
and proceed with the construction
of the tower, as planned.
And once we get the seal--
Yeah, I know.
Don't talk to me as if I'm an idiot.
My apologies.
The problem is the seal.
We can't do anything if his family
completes the paperwork first.
We have to act fast.
Hey, he has a little sister, right?
According to reports.
- Suga.
- Yes?
Send them out.
- There are little flies around here.
- Get out.
Have you called Majima and Taiga here?
Yes, they'll be here soon.
Good evening, sir.
Good evening, sir.
Sir.
Get outta my way.
Hey, how about you ask more politely?
- What?
- What?
Who do you think you are?
Or how about
I politely kill you?
No one's killing me.
Majima!
You're by the boss's office!
- Guys!
- Behave yourself here.
Rumor has it
that he's been a killer
ever since he was a kid.
Don't mess with him.
- You morons!
- Useless shits.
What are you looking at?
Man, it's hot.
Where've you been?
I wanna take a bath.
But I'm hungry.
- Gotta take a bath first.
- You could've called back.
- Let's go. Bath.
- Were you playing around?
No.
Miho collapsed
trying to impress a customer.
Huh? What do you mean?
The doctor said it was
due to excessive alcohol consumption
combined with overwork.
She was really downing it.
What an idiot.
- How's she now?
- She's still resting.
Next up on the news,
at 8:40 a.m. this morning,
53-year-old Keiji Shibusawa, a member
of the crime syndicate Tojo Clan,
was arrested over a suspected murder.
According to the police,
Shibusawa is accused
of killing Edgar Beale,
an American businessman,
inside the Maharaja disco club in Roppongi
by inflicting multiple stab wounds
using a blade.
He was arrested in--
We're probably next.
Police investigations revealed--
The family abandoned Mr. Shibusawa.
It's all over
We gotta think of something quick.
What are we gonna do?
Hey. Got any wakame?
I think there's some in the fridge.
Eat up.
You kids probably haven't been
eating well.
I'm fine.
The doctor said I was just exhausted
and drank too much.
Totally nothing to worry about.
Don't push yourself so hard.
You need to cut back
on potassium and salt.
It's important to ease the load
on your kidneys.
Come home.
I can watch over you at Sunflower.
It's safe.
Your room's still free.
Thanks.
But
I thought you were someone
who hated dishonesty.
I can't believe
you were part of the Yakuza.
Hello?
They'll be looking for the seal.
How are you?
It's none of your business.
Quit acting like you're anything to me.
You abandon your little sister
and that's what you have to say?
Not much of a brother, are you?
- What'd you say?
- Stop.
Please stop.
Do you know who Edgar is?
Is he an acquaintance?
Where'd you hear that name?
Dad mentioned Edgar on the phone just now.
What else did he say?
I only understand simple English, so
- Sorry.
- Tell me anything you know.
You know about the American
who was killed last night at the Maharaja?
It looks like some documents
were stolen from his office.
You were behind it, right?
Listen.
You fell for fake intel.
So you're saying the intel
about you being sighted
with Shibusawa at the scene is fake?
There are plenty of people like me.
So could you go and ask one of them?
- You wanna be locked up?
- No one's locking me up.
- What did you just say?!
- Cool it, Araki. Let's go.
I'm gonna keep a close eye
on you from now on.
Because I'm a huge fan of yours.
Let's go grab a drink.
Kazuma, is everything really okay?
Nothing to worry about.
- You're a good person.
- What?
You always look after Miho.
You've been doing what we can't do.
Hey! Hey, Kazuma!
- Kazuma! Let's go!
- What? Where?
- To Kanada!
- Kanada?
I found out where Edgar's sister is.
- Let's go!
- Calm down!
They'll kick us to the curb at this rate!
We gotta get that seal!
With our own hands!
Right?
Let's go!
- Let's make the boss happy!
- All right!
Kazuma! Nishiki!
What happened to the money?
2005 - KAMUROCHŌ
What is it?
What do you want to do?
What are you trying to achieve?
Got it.
- It's time, sir.
- I know.
What about the guys who attacked Yumi?
They had a Kansai dialect.
That said,
holding a ceremony this big
is impressive in these times.
Don't you agree?
It's better than a small one.
It's only to be expected,
considering our authority.
It's the third death anniversary
of our family's number two.
You were always a clever kid.
Guess you're worthy of being
the Doujima Clan's successor.
I heard the Oyagoroshi
is out of prison now.
And?
It's only right
for him to be exiled from Kantō.
He broke the bond between father and son.
If he were to return after only ten years,
Doujima wouldn't be happy.
Thank you very much for the advice.
But I'm the boss of the Doujima Clan,
so desist from going rogue
and messing with Kiryu Kazuma.
Gather as many people as you want.
It's pointless.
You bottom feeder.
Hey, quit acting like a fucking big shot.
Stop that.
You've shaped up real nicely, Nishikiyama.
Sir!
It's been a while, Chairman.
Well?
Did one of us steal a billion yen
from the Omi?
Who wants us in a war with Omi?
It'd be like the U.S.
at war against the Soviet Union.
You can only rampage
without consequences for so long.
Then a couple of nuclear bombs will be
dropped and that's a million deaths.
The victims will end up being the kids
and those who didn't want the war
to begin with.
Indeed.
Do we have a Korekiyo Takahashi
amongst us?
Or a Matthew C. Perry?
Guess there aren't any yakuza
who even know Korekiyo.
Don't care if it's a bluff.
Someone needs to stop the war.
I will do it.
- Can you?
- If it's what my father wants.
I have a request.
I would like to be entrusted
with the Oyagoroshi.
May I?
Very well. Handle it.
- Chairman!
- Shimano.
Did anyone ask for your goddamn input?
My apologies.
Foul feeders
don't live long anyway.
I'm counting on you.
You have beautiful hair, ma'am.
Thank you very much.
Let's do your makeup.
- Mama!
- Lower your voice.
Someone might be watching.
Where were you?
I keep telling you
not to make a fuss here.
Everyone's here to read manga.
You're the one who raised me
to be like this.
And there are lots of people here
who aren't reading manga.
You should still keep it down.
Don't do anything
that will bother others, okay?
I'll think about it.
You cheeky monkey.
Haruka.
Do you wanna go to Hawaii with me?
We'll fly on a plane
and open a shabu-shabu restaurant.
Shabu-shabu? I prefer doughnuts.
We can have doughnuts another time.
No! I want doughnuts!
Quiet!
Fine, I'll buy some.
Get ready to go and wait for me here.
I'll be back right away.
Don't take your eyes off Haruka.
Be careful.
Call me if anything happens!
Remember, don't do anything
to bother others.
Be a good girl.
Thank you.
No use just parroting what mama says.
Lame guys always run their mouths.
Thank you for coming.
Welcome.
Hey, wait!
Who are all of you? Stop!
What are you doing?
You can't just barge in.
- Run
- He shot him!
Is this the police?
Stop!
Where's Aiko?
Mommy
Hey, let's smoke her out.
No! Don't! Stay away from me!
Drive! Now!
