A Kamikaze Cop (やくざ刑事)

A TOEI PICTURE

Hey.

- What? - Tetsuji Asai?

I'm arresting you for possession of a firearm.

Really? Search me.

Take your time.

Well, Officer? Did you find anything?

Stop there.

What's that?

Obviously, my jewels.

Hey.

Wait!

Shit.

Thank you. Cops and women are persistent.

I'll pay you back for this sometime.

Yeah? You owe me for this.

I know.

I'll make you rich. Let's go.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

Have you all bet?

- Double. - All ready.

First half.

Let's not celebrate yet.

The second half.

See.

Hold it.

- What do you have in your hand? - What?

Don't start a fight over nothing.

Open it any way.

Wow.

I was right.

You demonstrated your skills well.

But did you know this place belongs to me,

Miyoshi of the Yashiro Gang?

What I didn't know was that Miyoshi,

the elite of the Yashiro Gang, used such cheap tricks.

- What a surprise. - It is.

Where's the proof?

Proof? You've seen the card.

It's just a card. What matters is who held it.

What?

Who is more trustworthy? You?

Or me, with my long-established credibility?

Let's ask the others.

Let me handle this.

Damn.

- What day is it today? - Friday the 13th.

A bad day. Hey...

The police are planning a roundup today.

It starts at 10:30, at all the gambling houses in Tokyo.

Shut up. That won't get you out of this.

But it's true, I'm telling you.

The police are coming! A roundup!

Mr Miyoshi. This way.

You're under arrest for the obstruction of official duties.

Thanks.

Be careful.

Isn't it a bit high?

There!

- Let's go. - OK.

One... two... three...

You're under arrest for gambling.

Ouch, let go, you bastard.

You're so noisy!

I can't sleep.

You've got silly chest hair, like a teenager's pubic hair.

There must be something wrong with your nose.

At least you've got two holes.

Bastard...

It tickles!

Hey, Hayata-kun. Get out.

Hayata-kun!

Hayata-kun?

There isn't any one you can be that friendly with in here.

Right, mate?

Hey, wake up.

Don't tell me...

Yes, I'm a cop.

Don't look at me like that. You were a bit slow.

How else could I get such information?

So that's what it was.

Damn you...

Don't get upset.

If you're born poor, your only choice is to be a yakuza like you

or a cop like me.

In a way, we're family. Right?

So don't worry about trivial things.

I've got to go. See you.

Wait there.

Hey, Mr Hayata. You may be a cop on the outside,

but behind bars, we are equal so let's get even.

Stop.

Shut up, bastard.

That's a serious crime.

Ouch. Obstruction of official duties.

Shut up!

Bodily injury.

TOKYO METROPOLITAN POLICE

A STUPID COP JOINED THE YAKUZA

Thank you.

Without your help, I'm just an ex-cop,

and would have been dead on the street.

But I don't think you owe me this much.

I wonder what will be next.

Don't worry. You can do a lot of work for me.

I hope so.

You've got good hips.

Hey.

Gentlemen.

I was born and bred in Nagoya.

Nagoy a is a big city with its streets...

you walk down Nishiki Street, you'll find a zoo.

Turn left there... No, that's a one-way.

- Get lost. - I haven't finished yet.

- Get lost. - And geishas are...

You're disturbing the guests.

You're good, señor.

POLICE

A cop, eh?

You are under arrest for injuring a police officer.

I won't forget this.

What did you say? Injuring?

Let me handle this.

Oh, you got my eyes. I can't see.

Welcome, mister.

Don't be silly.

You'll get more than just an injury next time.

Mr Asai from Headquarters is here.

Oh, it's you, Detective.

You got out of jail so fast because you're a big man in the Yashiro Gang.

Thank you for the other night.

Don't worry about it.

- I won't forgive you... - Easy, easy.

I'm not a detective any more.

Look. They even published my photo in the paper.

Ready?

You are good.

So are you.

We could fight forever.

Why don't you sell your skills to us?

It's a waste hanging around here.

Yashiro Headquarters can pay you a lot.

I'm a real bargain.

You won't be insured, but you will be well paid.

You quit because of the money, didn't you?

That's right.

Let's make a deal.

Here.

Oh, we've been waiting.

Hayata. You've passed the first stage.

The real work starts now.

I heard Mineo helped you a lot.

He's such trouble.

Alright. Let's start.

The Yashiro Gang is obviously

the biggest criminal organisation in Japan.

Headed up by this man -

Sumitaro Yashiro.

The ultimate purpose of our operation

is to destroy his organisation.

Kunio Nishi, the leader of the musclemen.

His right-hand man, Kurihara, the best assassin in Japan.

You've met Tetsuji Asai.

But none of these men are our main targets.

Remember the face of the man in the hat.

He doesn't have his own gang any more.

He's President of The Akutsu Trading Company.

And he is the financier of the Yashiro Gang.

As you can see, Akutsu is our core target.

Hayata, try to find a way into his organisation.

We need to cut off their money flow.

Arresting petty gangs for fighting won't help us.

That makes no difference to the Yashiro.

They're funded by tax evasion and blackmailing?

It can be anything. We need clear evidence.

We're counting on you. Mineo will help you.

Take these, just in case.

- Thank you. - I'll see you soon.

Look out for a lost dog ad in the newspaper.

It's my signal. Look out for that. Don't make mistakes.

- All the best, sir. - Thanks... what?

A dog, OK?

This is Miura, the guy I told you about.

How do you do?

He worked in Azumi Trading's New York office.

What was your mistake?

A woman, sir. I spent company money, the usual story.

Then he went downhill and became a dope pusher.

But he'd made some connections with American gangs.

It'll make our business easier. He speaks English, of course.

I see. Do they have the stuff ready for us?

Yes, they told Miura over the phone last night
