Yakuza Girl (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Come out now with your hands down.

No way.

Traitor

I trust you. My family trust you.

Sorry, it has to be this way.

But I'm gonna take you.

You, dead or alive.

You think become a cop is honorable?

They just like, they are

so corrupted, like us.

Drop the g*n.

You won't get away with this.

I'm not going to jail today.

Everyone, everybody is

going to come after you.

Your days numbers

are done, brother.

You have disown me. You have dishonor me.

You have dishonor the family,

and you dishonor the yakuza.

After I'm done with this,

there will be no more.

You or any yakuza in this city.

Why?

I love you like a brother.

This is how you pay me back?

You have cross the line.

I will see you in hell!

So we found a target

hiding out in California,

which is where we're

gonna send Kenji next.

And man of the hour.

There you go.

It must be exciting taking

down that boss. How was it?

I'd rather not talk about it.

You're going down as the

best undercover cop in Japan.

It's honorable.

Thank you. But that's

not the reason I did for.

Oh man.

Think about it. I can already see it.

You're gonna get so much publicity.

The book deals, movie studios.

They're gonna wanna make a

film about this. You're famous.

You are one crazy guy.

Why did you become a detective?

I'm not doing for that kind of stuff,

and I'm just serving and

keep peace in the society

for the years to come.

Well, I would love to be a movie star.

But gotta find a job that pays, right?

Yep. If you want to get

married and raise a family.

I think I'll keep my job.

Good idea.

See you around, Kenji.

No, I want you to say to my face.

Was there another

assignment? Another number?

He treated you like a

brother. He trusted you!

Did you forget your honor? Your jingi?

You sit here high and mighty.

You're just a coward.

There is no honor in

deceit. You taught me that.

Captain speaking.

So you are telling me

someone from the Vietnamese

g*ng actually ratted.

He admitted it?

Has this been confirmed?

Are you sure?

Okay.

I'll send our best guy.

Tomorrow.

You have my word. He'll be there tomorrow.

Kenji, will the come into my office?

Sir?

Come in. And close the door.

Please.

Kenji, have a seat.

You've been doing a good job.

Thank you for your service to the state

and for keeping our people safe.

Thank you, Captain. I'm just

trying to protect and serve.

You've been with us for over 20 years

and the whole time

working on the same case,

which is why I'd like to give

you a raise, a promotion.

You deserve it.

Thank you, Captain.

I'm just doing my job.

I wish I could go back in

time and do what you did.

You see, I also grew up around the Yakuza,

but I chose to be a good citizen

to do what is right and what is honorable.

So, how have you been?

I mean, since the k*lling.

It's okay. Just another day on the job.

There's something I need to tell you.

Your assignment, it's not over yet.

Where now?

We need to send you to Los Angeles

to take down the remaining Yakuza

who still has control and operates there.

Just recently, the LAPD

busted a group of Vietnamese,

a Vietnamese g*ng with lots

of extasy and ketamine.

And someone from the

Vietnamese side ratted and said

they were getting their

supplies from a Yakuza

who runs Little Tokyo in downtown LA.

The LAPD has been doing

their own investigation

and they actually know who the heads are,

who's running those

huge deals of ketamine.

Captain, I was planning on

a vacation with my family.

How soon should I be there?

I need you to go

tomorrow, first flight out.

Okay. Sure.

Okay.

When you get to downtown LA,

I need you to check in

with Detective John.

He already has someone

working on the case.

The man leading the efforts

in Little Tokyo is named Hiro,

a small Japanese man.

He's a very rich businessman

who runs a lot of sushi

establishments in Los Angeles.

He also owns a ranch in

and several real estate

properties in Los Angeles

and Las Vegas.

Captain, I think I know the guy.

Make sure you do a good job.

Yes, sir.

Make us look good.

You can count on me. Thank you.

Kanpai.

I'm telling you, Kenji,

you're gonna be in Los Angeles already.

Hollywood is right there.

Not again, Kai.

You're really into that movie

and Hollywood stuff, huh?

You can make my dream come true.

Mr. Hollywood, huh?

Can you bring me a souvenir?

Sure. What do you want?

Um...

I don't know. What do you think?

Like one of those Golden Globe thingies.

An Oscar. An Oscar.

That, yes, Oscar. That's

what they're called.

An Oscar.

Kai, you should really, really try

that acting stuff or whatever.

Just quit the job.

I'm telling you. I want to.

But the opportunity is not there for me.

For you, it's right there.

You guys are crazy. It's not tour.

I'm doing my job. Okay?

You're a big shot now, so.

I'm sure you can have a little fun.

Who was that girl yesterday?

Yeah. You almost got your as kicked.

About that girl,

I used to teach her.

I taught her the way of the sword.

So you're sensei?

Since when did you start that?

Long time ago.

And she's the sister to Madageta,

the one I k*lled the other day.

I'm sorry.

She, and they crossed the line.

They shouldn't start the business

around the drugs in our city.

You are gonna be okay?

Yeah.

So please watch out for my

family, okay? While I'm gone.

Yeah, of course. Anything you want.

So, how's your crazy girlfriend?

Oh, we're onto me now, huh?

Kenji-san, Kai's dead.

The neighbors reported that

he got stabbed to death.

It looks like sword wounds.

Hello? Yes, I just arrived

at the airport right now.

Yeah. I'm heading toward the hotel.

Thank you so much. Yeah.

Yes. See you soon.

Bye.

Miss you, Dad.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul.

He guides me in the past of righteousness

for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the

valley, the shadow of death

I will fear no evil for you are with me.

Your rod, your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with

oil. My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life.

And I will dwell in the

house of the Lord forever.

Chris, come here.

Meet Detective Kenji Kai from Japan.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I've heard a lot about you.

This is Detective Chris Nico.

You guys go ahead and sit down.

Kenji Kai was able to take

down the Yakuza in Japan.

This was in J-town.

J-Town?

Yeah. Little Tokyo.

Okay.

We have a really serious situation here,

especially with ketamine and ecstasy.

The streets are run

rampant with it right now.

You know this, Chris.

I brought in Kenji Kai

because he has expertise

in taking down the gangs in Japan.

Yeah, we gotta work fast

because if you took out the boss

out in Japan, it's gonna stir

up the hornet's nest out here.

Yeah.

This is a bigger situation

than you can imagine.

Multiple families are dying right now.

There's ecstasy and ketamine everywhere.

Yeah, so, I mean, if you

need my resources or anything,

you know, I can definitely be

your eyes and ears around here.

- Yeah.

- More than welcome to,

you know, to ask me anything.

I'm counting on you.

Thank you.

Can I count on both of you guys?

Yeah, yeah, sure. Of course.

I'd do my best.

Your best? I

need you to handle this.

Sure. Okay.

I'll take care of it.

Yeah, we'll start cleaning up for you.

That's it. Keep me updated.

Okay.

Thanks for this opportunity.

Thank you.

Can I help you with anything?

Want a cookie?

Sure.

Yeah, my wife's got me on this diet,

so this is the only time I can eat.

What are you working on now?

I'm just looking over

some files right now.

You know, basically what

we're telling you in there,

that the Yakuza members

are kind of fighting

the local gangs in LA and,

I mean, we don't know.

It's probably just like a

power grab between the Italians

or Mexicans or someone, you know?

But I don't know.

We'll probably have to

hit the street eventually,

find out what's going on.

Can I explain?

Sure. Yeah.

You know, me and my team in Japan

had to take down this

leader of Yakuza family.

It's called Ikeda-gumi,

and then the head of the

boss, his name is Masa.

I took him down in a raid,

but some of them fled to Los Angeles here.

That's why I'm here.

That explains a lot then.

Well, guess we got our

work cut out for us.

Yeah.

Hey, look, my wife, she's in the DA,

Districts Attorney's office.

We don't hardly see each

other. No plans tonight.

You want to go get a

drink at the local bar?

Sure.

We see so many the other guys there too.

All right.

Thanks for the cookie, by the way.

You're welcome. Hey,

don't eat too many of those.

Hey.

Hey. How you doing, Chris?

Nice seeing you again, my friend.

Yeah.

Hey, Chris. How are you?

I'm good. I'm good.

You like Jack and Coke?

- Yeah, sure.

- Two Jack and Cokes.

Jack's coming up.

On me.

Oh, thank you.

This is Kenji's from Japan.

I'm Jay, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Welcome.

Thank you.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

We're on special assignment.

Oh, special assignment, huh?

Yeah.

Well be careful, huh?

Yeah.

Weren't you in Tokyo once?

I was. Actually, I love Tokyo.

It reminds me of New York, you know?

Yeah. People are polite too.

Yeah. One fascinating thing about Tokyo.

Everybody has an

umbrella. I mean everyone.

For the rain?

I think so. It's just

everybody has an umbrella.

You have to see it. It's amazing.

It just have an umbrella when it rains.

Everyone has an umbrella.

No one's going there.

You don't run in with it.

That's just one thing that

I remember about Tokyo.

Here's to umbrellas.

Okay.

You know, one other

thing I was thinking about,

the b*llet train.

Oh yeah.

Quite an experience.

Quite an experience.

Yeah. Yeah.

So do you have a family in Japan?

Yeah, I have kids here.

Oh.

I miss them already.

I'm sure they miss you too.

Yeah.

Adorable. Wow.

Kids.

Looks like a nice vacation.

Yeah, it's Halloween.

Yeah. Wow.

You're dressed up like that.

That's so cute.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Nice outfit.

China dress.

- They look like a lot of fun.

- Yeah.

Well, I've been married

for about 15 years now.

My wife and I, zero kids.

Yeah. We just don't have time.

She works in the DA's office.

We just don't have time between my career

and, you know, hers.

You don't want any kids?

Nah. Too late.

Too late. Nah.

Married to our work.

Seems like you are a

really easygoing cop, huh?

- Yeah.

- Nice and kind.

Oh, thanks. You noticed.

Well, I just believe in what I do.

I mean, I'm here to protect and serve.

Or I just clean up the city.

But don't worry, don't worry.

Sometimes if I have to get tough,

I'll get tough when I

have to, unfortunately.

Just don't get tough on me. Okay?

I promise I won't.

No, this is helping, actually.

You're softening me up more.

This is very good.

So peaceful here.

Miko, do you love baseball?

You ask me this all the time.

You bring me here all the time

and I have no idea what's going on.

- Okay.

- But I know you love it.

Yes.

So what do you wanna be?

If I had a second chance at life,

I think could've wanted

to be a Nihon-buyo dancer.

You'd be a great dancer. Oh.

- I didn't know.

- Don't!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know my own strength this day.

Yeah. Save it for the baseball.

Yeah.

But I bought something today

because I saw in the store

and I think of you, I

think is very beautiful.

I hope you like it.

It's beautiful.

Want me to put it on for you?

Let's see.

- How do I look?

- Wow.

That look beautiful on you.

Thank you, Ani-san.

You're welcome.

I'll wear it for my recital next week.

Able to make it?

Sorry.

You know, I have a important

family business tonight.

They need my attention.

Fortunately, you know, I

don't have much choice.

I wish I can go to support you.

- Duty first, huh?

- Yeah.

Things not look, you know,

really good right now.

It's a lot of problem that we

have to face in this family.

- I understand.

- Yeah, you know?

I'm glad I got to spend

time with you today.

Yeah, I'm glad too that

we have this conversation

and this meeting.

Do things together again, you

know, in the future and stuff.

I like that.

Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah.

Hello?

Yeah. Okay.

Okay, I'm coming here.

Kenji. I got the call

early this morning.

The bar manager found the bar

open. Jeff's body right there.

I haven't seen anything like

this since I was in Tokyo.

Why would someone want

to k*ll him for you?

Does he have any connection

to any of Yakuza family?

I doubt it.

Let's go.

Well, it's a pleasure

to have Yakuza's finest

here in our establishment today.

Tell me, who do you work for?

I've been watching him

for a very long time.

We've been waiting for this date.

Bring you in, see what's

really going on in the streets.

Hmm? Are you gonna be

nice and help me out?

Are you?

Another thing, I need my

lawyer. I want to leave.

Lawyer? You want a lawyer?

You think someone from the

DA's gonna help you out?

I want some answers.

No, I know nothing. I wanna leave.

Kuy. Come on, let's go.

Chop, chop. Get up.

Come on.

Sir.

Come on, I can hold in there.

Coffee?

You don't speak too, huh?

You guys well trained.

Japanese.

There's innocent people

out there dying every day.

Tell me something. Help me out.

Come on, we're buds.

No, I said I know nothing.

Right now there's drugs moving

in, ecstasy,.

Who knows what else is around the corner?

Innocent people are dying

every day in our beloved city.

And you can just sit there?

You know why we brought you in here?

You are not gonna talk to me?

So you know nothing?

We've been watching you.

We've been watching you every move.

You're on to something. You're involved.

We know you are.

Your nickname Kuy, right?

You're from Chinatown.

What do you know about Ikeda-gumi?

You guys are close, right?

I want to know about the ecstasy trade.

Ecstasy trade?

Yeah.

You Japanese locals are

selling to the Vietnamese here

in southern California.

Being r*cist, are we? Yeah?

How do you know we do the trade?

Well, you got a little rat in your crew.

Yeah.

Mm-hm.

Have you seen a map of Asia?

I don't care about Asia.

Can you pinpoint where's Myanmar?

Myanmar? I don't care.

All I care is about getting these guys,

there's a w*r going on between the Yakuza

and the local Mexicans and Vietnamese.

Couldn't say Yakuza even

incorrectly, could you?

No.

Just a white guy from LA.

Hey.

Are you gonna help me out?

Or do you wanna go to jail?

Because I can tell you one thing.

You go on the inside,

you'll never survive.

You'll never survive.

You won't live in there.

So many people will be after you,

you're safer on the street.

I'm giving you an option.

You talk, or we're gonna do

things a little differently.

What do you wanna do?

I said I know nothing. I want to leave.

You're half Chinese-Japanese?

You speak Japanese?

He is not speaking.

So what do you want

from me? I mean, it's-

Who's your supplier?

What do you mean in terms of supplier?

Ecstasy.

What's ecstasy?

It's the raves drug.

All the stuff that's flood in the raves

in the Los Angeles rave scene.

Yeah? What is this?

Maybe I would... Maybe I'd

like to know what it is.

I'd like to know what it is, this ecstasy.

Maybe I could be excited. Right?

You'd be happy if-

I could be more excited than now, right?

Yeah, yeah. Euphoria, right?

One of you guys said they

were getting it from you.

They're getting boats loads.

Like from me or from my people or what?

You and your people like me.

Like me, so-

You're the one, you're the

business guy behind the scene.

You're pinpointing-

Define business.

Who are you, you're

asking me these questions?

Can I ask who you are?

Can I have your, can

you gimme your address?

What's your address?

What's your home address?

Lawyer!

Are you nuts?

You are wrapped up in something deep.

Something corrupt.

The law, you've pissed on it.

I need you to talk and talk now.

Who do you work for?

How much involvement do

you have with these people?

You're sitting there telling

me you don't know anything?

Are you Vietnamese?

Are you Vietnamese?

Do you know anything about Ikeda family?

Are you on drugs or are you selling drugs?

Around the corner, ABC restaurant?

The nice Chinese food?

You know that, right?

He could be high.

Yeah.

I'm just a normal guy.

Japanese, they don't speak.

If they speak.

No, he'll speak.

We got a special plan for you.

I'm Detective Stefan.

Stefan.

Stefan, yeah.

Is that Dutch or?

No, it's Italian.

Like you Dutch?

Well, Stefan.

Yeah. Yeah. You know,

maybe mixed with German.

Well, you Germans,

just add a little i and it becomes Italian

and then add a little o and becomes French

or whatever it goes.

Now we're playing the

equal race card. Okay.

So what do you want? What do you want?

Give up the guy that's

pressing the pills.

I really don't know

what you're talking about.

I'm not getting anything outta him.

- Coffee.

- Thanks.

Yeah. My favorite.

Hiro, huh?

Coffee? Sugar?

We've busted one of your

guys with a boat of pills?

You know what a boat of pills are?

No, I don't.

It's 1,000 pills. They call it a boat.

1,000?

1,000 pills.

What does that get you? A buck?

Two bucks, three bucks? What is it?

I mean, pills, you know, the cost.

- Yeah, probably.

- There's pills.

There's pills over. The

doctor gives you pills.

Well, they're legal drug dealers.

You know how it is for the

pharmaceutical industry?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

What are you gonna do?

You going to..?

I'm nobody. I'm no one.

Tell me what you know.

Give us what you know.

I'm no one that you

know and... You know?

We just brought you in to question you.

You're not being detained.

You're not arrested.

Good, 'cause I was gonna

ask you, am I detained?

If you're not detained-

Hiro,.

I'm not detained, right?

Yeah, you can-

Am I detained? I'm not detained.

So I can go, right?

You can go. You can tell me

go f*ck myself if you want to.

- No-

- But we're gonna

come down on you.

Who is Hiro?

What's your number? Your patch number?

Don't worry about it.

Can I see it?

Don't worry about it. Talk

to my supervisor when you-

You're asking me questions

and so I want to know

what's your...

Gimme your date of birth, please.

No.

I have a right to know.

Who's Hiro?

I mean, who's Hiro?

I don't know, who is Hiram? I don't know.

- Who's that?

- You work for him.

But can't you gimme the-

You work for him.

Hiro, that's a Hiro?

Hiro. H-I-R-O.

It sounds very Jewish,

isn't it?

Dude's Japanese.

He's Japanese?

Oh, so it's Hiram.

So you can't even say your name.

You can't say his name.

You can't say your name.

Yeah, exactly.

You say Hirami. Hiromi.

I don't speak Japanese.

I don't speak Japanese.

Good. Okay.

You guys gonna have it hard for yourself.

You can't keep things right.

We'll take you guys down.

We'll take you guys down.

What does that mean? Who's the guys?

You and your whole crew.

You have no idea what you're

in, buddy. Yeah.

You have no idea.

We'll ship you back on a plane to Japan.

You won't come back here.

Your date of birthday, home address,

I'll tell you what you wanna know.

Which is nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing.

He doesn't speak.

Yeah.

I know this guy.

You do?

I'm not detained,

right? I'm not detained?

Take off.

You guys, go to hell.

I'm very cordial. I'm not

gonna say go ef yourself.

I'm saying go to hell.

It's even worse.

Huito, come pick me up.

Or send someone pick me up.

They interrogate me.

I didn't say anything.

I am hungry. Hurry up, pick me up.

These interrogation

transcripts are unbelievable.

These guys are giving us the runaround.

Crazy.

Hey, guys.

Kuy just got off the phone

when he was released.

So I need you guys to go tail him.

I just got interrogating

the crap outta this guy,

and I wasn't able to

get anything out of him.

- Okay.

- All right.

- All right.

- Cool.

Well, we know these two guys

have been hanging out here lately.

And they just went in there.

Figures.

Look, those two guys

just went into that bar.

This bar has been linked

to a lot of crime lately.

A lot of low lifes. Not just drunks.

We're talking the drugs

we've been talking about.

I think we stand a chance with these guys.

Yeah.

Well, we make a good team.

Getting further in.

Hiro, don't worry about it.

I didn't say anything.

Sensei.

, nice weather.

So what are we learning today, Sensei?

Today, Kenuichi, I will

teach you the way of the sword.

Are you ready?

Hai.

You're on.

Let's go.

How much longer, Sensei?

I will teach you one

thing about the sword,

way of the sword,

the first thing and the

last thing you remember.

If you focus on your own

sword or your movement

or even your training, you are not right.

If your mind is not right,

your swing won't be right.

If your heart is not right,

your sword won't be right.

What about using the

sword for a revenge?

If someone was taken away

from you, someone precious,

someone that you loved,

can the sword be used then?

If you think it's right

for what you believe in.

I don't know what's right anymore.

I know that people think that the Klan is

a bunch of gangsters that

do criminal activities.

But did you know that the

Yakuza back in the day

were considered to be a necessary evil

to deter people from doing

criminal activities individually.

You are protecting the community.

Look how the community's treating us now.

I don't know what my purpose,

my ikigai is anymore.

Like I said.

If you believe your heart is

right and your mind is right.

Maybe that is the way you take the sword

for what you believe in.

Any question?

Many.

Then, to be continued.

How's Kenji doing?

Oh, he's doing great.

I'm getting a lot of information from him

and showing him the sites

of downtown Los Angeles.

Well, I need you to catch these guys.

They just found another body

down by a car in Little Tokyo.

When did that happen?

Just recently.

I need you to go down to the morgue.

Sure thing. You got it.

I'll get down there right away.

Thanks.

Dr. Winters. I see it's lunchtime.

Detective, what brings you this way?

Lieutenant sent me down here. It's okay.

Sorry.

You need more

napkins in the morgue, I guess.

Oh yeah. All the time.

And I can't tell if it's

blood or if it's meat sauce.

So there you go.

It's hard to tell. You're right.

Well, this is where Joe

ended up,

and well, see it for yourself.

He was sliced by a sword.

By sword?

Yep. A very, very sharp sword.

And can you get any reports,

any additional information

for me like ASAP?

I'm gonna run the

toxicology report tomorrow.

Is that gonna be soon enough?

I can get it to you tomorrow night.

Sounds good.

Okay. We'll be in touch.

Okay.

Enjoy the rest of that sandwich.

I sure will. It's good.

Salud, buddy boy.

Salud.

So how has that sobriety

life treating you, by the way?

It'll be one year in July.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You're really committed

to this b*tch, didn't you?

I did. I did.

I had to change some things in my life.

Huh? We all need change.

How's Linda feel about it?

Oh yeah, she is. Yeah.

I bet.

She says hi, by the way.

And you know, next time you're

around, we'll have dinner.

Please send her my best.

I will.

This case at work has

just been k*lling me.

Yeah?

Feel that we're getting close though.

We've been telling this guy Hiro.

I know he owns a lot of

businesses, probably gets cover,

but we're onto him.

I know him too well.

So, got anything new for us?

Well, as much as we want

to rip off Hiro's head.

Yeah.

I do have some stuff.

He's not your guy, believe it or not.

Really?

Your main focus right on these to be,

I don't have a name yet,

but he's taller than Hiro,

he's really scrawny.

Probably does a lot of

drugs. Who knows, you know?

Always wears a hat.

So think, I don't know,

baseball cap, fedora, beret.

Who knows?

And he has a thing for cats.

No joke. You get into that what you will.

That's all I got.

Hope you're not allergic.

No, not that I know of.

Thanks, Fedie. It helps

our department out a lot.

I'll start looking into this

first thing in the morning.

Don't worry, I'll have my team with me.

Hey, but make no mistake about it.

He's just as dangerous as Hiro.

You don't know what he's

capable of. Tread carefully.

Thanks.

I don't have to bury

another friend. You got me?

Oh, sh*t!

Remember me, Chris?

Let's fight like a man.

You got too far involved

now. Now I gotta k*ll you.

Let's fight like a man.

Come on.

It was nice knowing you.

Chris, how could you betray the family?

How could you betray us? How?

I didn't like the path I was going down.

I had to change my life for the better.

For you too.

Think you can come into my own

house and try to ambush me?

Just like what you did to my dad?

Not this time.

You ain't got the guts.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. This is Zach.

Okay.

Hiro needs to pick up.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Yeah, I'll take him to the compound.

Chris, radio Kenji.

Kenji proceeded the other

side. We'll meet you there.

You guys ready to go?

Ready.

Yeah, I've been waiting

to catch these guys

for a long time.

Let's party.

Let's go.

Honey, I love you no

matter what happens.

LAPD, stand down!

Hello?

What? What do you mean

we've been attacked?

Who are you are? Are you at the front?

Alright, I'll be there.

Jesus.

Chris. Chris.

- Chris-

- He went that way!

You're all right. Stay with me.

You're okay,-

It's a beautiful-

Chris, stay with me.

It's a beautiful day.

Stay with me!

- It's a beautiful day.

- Chris!

Chris!

Stay with me.

Yeah.

Do you know what the

dance Harusame is about?

Hmm?

It's about a girl who stares

at wisteria tree, at a bird.

And she stares at it hoping

that she can be reunited with her lover

and be free like the bird.

Every time I dance it, I get lost in it,

and I feel free, I guess.

I was born into this life.

I don't have a choice.

What's your excuse?

How did you get into this business?

You talk too much. Women.

Are you saying that I talk too much?

Okay. Yes, I do.

But that's how I get to

find out about the world.

You know, about the world out there.

I only know what I do here with my family,

and with that comes obligations, duty.

You never say anything

about where you came from,

what you did before this.

I don't know anything about you, but...

Are you hiding anything?

You've being a good student.

There is one more thing

you have to overcome

as a sword man or sword girl.

You wanna be?

I trust your brother.

And like you have duty, I have mine too.

Not just for myself.

Like your clan. My clan and my community.

You said anything about loyalty?

Trust and loyalty.

That's our way.

Of course.

Father, please save this man.

My brother, my friend, Chris.

Heavenly Father, please.

I pray in the name of the Lord.

Chris!

I want you to get the son

of a b*tch that did this.

I might have an idea

who I've done this to him.

Officer Kai, Chris was a good man

and I am sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

My apologies.

Domo.

Hey, new guy.

Look, this kind of thing

is not easy, trust me.

I've been through it before,

and Chris was a really

good friend of mine.

Not only that, we fought

crime in this crazy town

for about 15 years.

It's really hard to accept

that he's not here anymore.

But hey, I know that

sometimes it can be hard,

but it can help too, to

have someone to talk to.

So if you ever wanna vent

or just maybe get out

and have a cup of coffee

or, you know, go to that bar

that he loved, let me know.

Sure, thanks.

All right. Don't stay too late.

I'll see you around.

Hey, wait. You like sushi?

I love sushi.

I know a spot.

- Cheers.

- Kanpai.

It's good.

Yeah.

This place is great.

- Yeah.

- Good choice.

It's a nice restaurant.

Have you been here much?

Yeah, a couple times.

My friends own the fish company

and it's kind of a

friends', you know, friends.

Nice. Makes it even better.

Yeah.

So I noticed the ring on your finger.

Yeah, I'm married. I have kids in Tokyo.

Wow. You're lucky.

Yeah, maybe I'm lucky enough.

You are lucky.

I don't really have kids

or much of a family.

I don't talk to them much.

They're all spread out all

over the country it seems.

You don't wanna have kids.

Maybe someday.

I think I just have to

find the right person.

I'm working too much.

Doesn't really allow for kids, you know?

Mm, this is good. I'm

glad I let you order.

I can't believe Chris is gone.

Yeah.

I kind of just try to distract myself

from the reality, you know?

I've lost a partner before,

but I only worked with

them for a little bit,

and Chris was like 15 years.

It's been rough, I'm not gonna lie.

Yeah, he was the best.

He really was a good man.

And you know, he always made me laugh.

Something could be terribly wrong

and he would find a way to make me smile.

Do you have any funny memories with him?

Oh yeah. The bar he took me.

The bar.

Yeah, we had some times there for sure.

He always would just

ask me how I was doing

and, you know, like genuinely check in.

And it was really nice to

have somebody to lean on.

I always felt like I could

go to him with my problems.

Hmm.

Now he is not here.

We have each other.

Just like I said earlier,

if you need anybody,

if you feel like you

need someone to talk to

or wanna go have sushi or

have a drink at that bar,

we can do it.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

We gotta stick together.

To Chris.

To Chris.

Well, thanks for dinner.

You are welcome.

And for walking me to

my car. It's really nice.

Domo arigatou gozaimasu.

Oh cool. What'd you just say?

Thank you very much.

I like that. Well, thank you.

You have a good night, all right?

I'll see you at work tomorrow.

- Night.

- Yeah.

You lost that right

when you k*lled Basan.

I gave everything to the Ikedagumi.

You stole the one thing

that made me human.

You said revenge makes monsters.

Today, I'm gonna become the

monster I was born to be.

Chris, my buddy, my friend.

I miss you.

I miss you.

And thank you.

Hiro, I think coming

to Japan was a bad idea.

I think they finally caught us.

Is this what you want?

Well, what we gonna do?

What is the plan?

You could do something.

You could be honorable, right?

What are you looking at?

Say something. Something.

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

I thought you guys knew

these things all the time.

You're supposed to be the smart ones.

Not me. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I'm just following.

He doesn't say anything

and he could say something.

I'm in.

That was easy to say.

Yeah. I don't want this.

You gimme all this riddle,

and then you say you are in.

I don't wanna be in here.

- I wanna go.

- We got this.

We got this, so we don't have it.

I wanna go.

But are you in or are you in or out?

This is your last chance. Your last-

Are you serious?

What about you?

You can't do this.

That was easy to say.

Yeah.

Bring it up like a conductor. Yes or no?

I don't wanna be in this.

You give all this riddling,

then you say you are in.

I don't wanna be in here.

Bring it up like a conductor. Yes or no?

Are you in? Louder!

- Yes.

- Louder!

Are you in?

Yes, yes, yes.

- Yes.

- Jump up.

Come on, jump, jump, jump!

Go, go! Raise your hand in the air.

Yes, yes,

Yes, yes.

Remember me?

Taking you back to LA.

You'll never see Japan again.

Let alone see daylight.
