Shinjuku Swan II (新宿スワンⅡ)

My name is Shiratori Tatsuhiko.

I'm a scout in Shinjuku.

Tatsuhiko, how are you?

People finish their work, the evening starts...

in the most lively neighborhood in Japan.

The crowds gather in Kabukicho.

For us, scouts, it's the golden time.

It's right there, wait.

Really? I'll take you to the club.

Hideyoshi died last year.

The members have changed.

I'm older, don't call me by my first name.

You're 6 months older.

Yosuke, Yosuke...

Even my good buddy, Yosuke...

disappeared without even a goodbye.

What did I do to him?

Tatsuhiko.

Hey Rui, how are you? -Tatsuhiko.

Thank you for that place you introduced me to.

It's great. It's great.

Could you ask them to raise my salary?

Sure, I'll ask them.

Hey, good morning.

Bye, Rui, work hard.

See you. -Bye.

Koizumi, see you soon.

Call me anytime.

Alright, let's do it.

Oh, aren't you cute.

Yes, of course.

Do you have time? Where do you come from?

Are you in trouble?

Are you scouting?

Yes, you can ask me anything.

I want to ask to that guy.

The best place...

Wait.

Let me go.

What is that?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Excuse me.

My name is Mayumi.

It's a pleasure, I'm Tatsuhiko.

Hey, she's mine.

Easy now.

Sorry.

It's fine.

What do you want?

Debts?

How much?

$20,000.

And in no time, they increased it.

Those scums taking advantage of such a pretty girl.

So, many of those guys.

But you are not like that, right?

Of course, I'll introduce you to a good place.

You'll work hard and pay debt back.

Mr. Tatsuhiko Can I call you just 'Tatsuhiko'?

You can call me, Tatsu...

or Tatsuhiko.

Tatsuhiko it is then.

Alright.

Tatsuhiko.

Hey Soga, what's up?

A problem with the scouts.

Again?

Can you help?

Mayumi, call here.

This shop is great, the Madam too.

See you... let's go.

Moulin Rouge.

Stop.

Morinaga.

What are you doing here?

Tatsuhiko.

I'm here to challenge you.

Shibuya's scouts came here to cause trouble.

Are you dumb?

'Bursts' and 'Parasites' teams have reconciled.

I owe you three punches.

The fight is over.

Why this fuss now?

Your first kiss.

You'll get it.

Good Morning.

Morinaga?

You're good.

Yes, I'm good.

Officer Kinoshita.

Tatsuhiko, you're fighting again.

I am sorry.

He's fine... He's a bro.

I've had enough of you.

Right.

I'm not his bro.

Just say as I say.

Disappear, now.

I'm sorry.

It's over.

I owe you ten punches next time.

I'll be waiting.

So, busy.

Good evening.

You fought with Morinaga, right?

Right.

The streets are restless lately...

we've just made a territory deal with the 'Parasites'.

Since Burst and Harlem merged, scouts have increased.

But there aren't more girls to scout.

That what creates friction on the street.

It's started like that in Shibuya too.

Boss.

I was always against merging.

It's too late to cry about it.

If we reduced scouts by 20%, profits would increase.

And friction will decrease.

We get rid of the weak ones.

So, you'd seize that opportunity to get rid of my Harlem boys.

OK, I'm just a Bursts now.

Hayama, you don't have to pretend you're loyal.

Obviously, some of you guys, since Hideyoshi's death...

and Yosuke's disappearance, you've been suspecting me.

You are a Burst no one is suspecting you.

Scouts have a hard job.

Their training is very long...

if you judge trainees' performance you lose good assets.

Mako is right.

So, we have no choice.

We expand the territory.

We don't have anywhere to expand.

Obviously, we do, it's Yokohama.

Yokohama?

The Wine Dealers Association is recruiting for two clubs in Yokohama.

Each club will need 100 hostesses.

It's impossible in Yokohama.

Why impossible?

Boss, Yokohama is not good.

There are no opportunities there.

With Taki's Wizards we're going into a mess.

They say Yokohama is 'Taki's Empire'.

Tell me Seki...

you know Yokohama well.

You would know how to deal with the locals.

If I go to Yokohama, I'm not coming back here.

Don't be silly, you are a Burst.

Hey, you take Tatsuhiko with you.

Why me?

Yosuke is probably in Yokohama.

Yosuke?

Yosuke disappeared without taking his money.

Something must have happened.

Seki.

Seki, you go to Yokohama.

Boss.

Yosuke is really in Yokohama?

There are rumors.

Go there, Tatsuhiko.

Mr. Mako.

We all miss Yosuke here.

Alright then.

Welcome.

Mayumi, Hi?

Hello, this way please.

You were waiting.

I just arrived.

Seki, welcome.

It seems you two have to talk, see you later.

So, you're moving to Yokohama.

Isn't it a sensitive topic?

Well, we'll be facing Taki.

You've known him since you were kids?

You were close.

We worked together.

But I spent two years in the can.

I didn’t go back to Yokohama when I got out.

Why didn't you go back?

Why didn't I...

Taki is a dangerous drug dealer.

Possibly, he's involved in Hideyoshi's death.

It's not Hayama?

I don't know for sure.

They too were involved in drugs schemes.

Opening up new turf isn't that simple.

It's a chance to settle accounts with Taki.

I'll put my heart at rest finally.

37% of our wines and spirits are sold...

in nightclubs and bars employing hostesses.

This Wine Association needs a field experience for a better understanding...

of the consumer's behavior.

We'll soon finish the construction of 2 large nightclubs.

Mr. Kajita.

Our biggest issue is to hire women.

Our two clubs will need 200 hostesses.

Recruitment through newspapers and other media.

Brought in only 30 candidates.

That figure is obviously insufficient.

In regard to our schedule, we have and emergency.

So, we commissioned a professional in Yokohama...
