Behave yourself.

We'll be joining you. Nice to meet you all.

Hello!

I'm exhausted.

— First time in? — Is it that obvious?

Sure as hell is! How many years you get?

I'm ashamed. I only got 26 months.

Two years and two months?

That's a bit long for a first timer.

Something pretty bad?

Thief! Give me back my motorcycle!

Stop!

Catch me if you can.

Here.

That's no good.

Hurting two cops on top of stealing a bike?

No wonder you’re in for so long.

Come on, I only made them knock their heads silly.

Idiot! You're nuts.

You're just as bad as Yukie.

— How rude! — I'm sorry.

Only 500 yen?

The slut!

Excuse me.

You're under arrest for pickpocketing.

This isn't my day!

And...

they dug up my other crimes.

But I still only got two and a half years.

It's nothing compared to her three years, really.

Please, won't you forgive me?

I'm sorry, but 2,000 yen is all I've got.

Please.

You take me for a fool?

Think you can lay a woman like me for peanuts?

Now hurry up and hand over 100,000!

You can ask all you want, but I don't have that kind of money.

You bastard, making a fool out of me!

Think you can get a free ride?

How about monthly installments? Would that do?

And just like that...

rape, extortion, and assault were all piled on to my sentence

to make a grand total of three years and six months.

No way! You're not a man.

Isn't “rape“ a bit much?

Hey- you're heavy!

Actually she forced the man into the hotel,

— and jumped on top of him. — I get it.

— Throw it back! — Come on.

Over here!

Hey. what's going on?

Hurry up and get the ball back.

It's all set.

Game!

Hold it.

—What is this? — You cheat!

She's some big—shot yakuza‘s woman.

She's no ordinary snake. She's a rattlesnake.

I'm a much nicer person than she is.

Be careful, or you'll get bit.

— Place your bets. — Even.

— Odd. — Me too. Odd.

It's even. Just my day...

Another round.

I'll bet even.

— Me too. — Odd!

— It's odd. — Sorry, girls.

Hey, you. You haven't said a word yet.

What are you in for?

Too cool for us?

Hey, she asked you a question. Why don't you answer?

Come on, just leave her alone.

Why should I?

Everyone has a past she doesn't want to talk about.

No harm in asking.

Think about it. We're all stuck in this box together.

Things will be easier if we get to know each other.

That's right.

What could a sweet faced girl like you possibly do

to end up in the pen?

Something stupid that you're too embarrassed to tell us about?

What are you, mute?

Don't.

“Don’t,” I said.

Someone needs to teach this arrogant bitch a lesson.

Why lose your cool over some greenhorn who's never served time?

You too. Watch your attitude.

You need to respect us like a newcomer should.

Now, apologize.

Don't wanna listen to what I say?

What you gonna do about it?

Keep quiet, everybody, or the guards will find out.

— Yeah, we know. —just get on with it!

All right. Whoever lets go of the rope loses.

— Do N. — Go first "M!

Come on! Attack!

All right! Masayo!

Do it now!

Go for it, Masayo!

Come on, fresh meat!

Come on.

Wait. The guards.

Okay, go on.

-Hey, get up! -Stand up!

Come on, hang in there!

— Don't give in! — You've got some guts!

You can do it!

Come on, stand up.

— Hurry, she's coming. —Get up!

That's the spirit!

You lose. Let go of the rope.

— Stop it! — You'd better stop.

—What's up? — Is that it, huh?

That's right. We know you can do it.

She's done well enough.

She's got guts.

You win.

Well done.

You don't have a clue about handling a knife,

but you sure have got guts.

What the hell are you in for anyway?

My dad.

The yakuza threatened him into dealing drugs.

They worked him down until he was nothing

and tossed him out like garbage to keep order in the organization.

That's really cruel, but those things happen a lot.

He was a big drunk.

A completely worthless father.

But still, he was my only family.

I was left all alone,

and top of that, they-

No! Stop it!

Don't!

Somebody!

Help!

Poor thing.

So you stormed in all by yourself to avenge your clad.

That was reckless.

What could a woman do against the yakuza?

You’re lucky you’re still alive.

Hey, how come you didn't tell the police about your dad?

Yeah, why didn't you? This was your first offense.

Sure you killed someone, but it was a no-good yakuza.

You only would've gotten probation, no doubt.

Not only that,

the police would've taken revenge on the yakuza for you.

Oh, no. Don't tell me you're-

No way. You’re not getting revenge all by yourself again.

You won't make it this time.

Which yakuza group killed your father?

Oba Industries.

Olga?

What? Do you know them?

No.

A FEW YEARS LATER

Why the cold shoulder?

We're not strangers, you know. Right, girls?

- Hey, wait! - Wait up!

Maki.

We heard you were getting out.

Thinking of the old days, we got together here for you.

Step aside. I've got no time for you guys.

Nice suit! I wonder who got it for you.

Yeah, it costs a lot, you know!

What? You're still gonna get that Oba boss?

I'm not just gonna kill him.

All I did in the pen was think about him and those dogs.

just killing them isn't gonna satisfy me anymore.

just like they did to my father,

I'm going to Whittle Oba down to the bone,
