Dangerous Trade in Kobe (やくざ対Gメン 囮)

TOEI COMPANY, LTD.

KOBE

Drive slowly.

They're here somewhere.

They've got some nerve, arranging a meeting in the street...

It's a precaution. So they can make a quick get-away.

If we're not careful, they'll clean us out of 6 million yen.

FURNITURE

Shall we kill them and take the money?

If it comes to that, I'll give the order.

We need to treat them well, in case they end up being trustworthy clients.

Let's think of tonight as a blind date.

OSAKA 55 WA ・ 269

There it is.

Make sure there isn't anyone suspicious around.

Koichi!

Chief, they have two cars.

The others won't be able to see when we signal with the headlights.

Calm your nerves. If they catch on to us, it's game over.

DANGEROUS TRADE IN KOBE

MOTOMACHI STATION

NAKATOSHIMOTO ACCESS RD. KANSAI KISEN NAKATOKUJO PIER

Chief.

Listen up. When I shout, "this better be real heroin,"

- turn on the headlights. - Yes, sir.

Mr. Kitamura.

Sorry for the lengthy process.

It seems you finally trust me.

Unfortunately, I don't have a whole kilo.

No? Why not?

I was just able to bring 300g.

Fine, show me.

Money, first.

Where's my product?

This better be real heroin!

Ise Sadao, you're under arrest for illegal possession of narcotics!

Asshole!

ISE SADAO

Your profession?

I sell heroin.

Listen here, we know you peddle drugs for Minoura group.

There has to be a connection with S-Group, isn't that right?

Who exactly is S-Group's seller?

I'm not saying anything about our group. You're just wasting your damn breath.

You really messed up big this time.

- Who gave me up? - That's right, you were ratted out.

I'm willing to bet you don't know who it was either.

We have S-informers.

People working for us on the inside, a whole underground operation.

How about that?!

Look pal, I have the right to remain silent.

The arrest warrant is valid for 48 hours.

Prosecutor detention is 10 days.

Add an extension, that's another 10 days.

That means we have a full 22 days to question you.

This is gonna be fun.

Quit fucking around!

- Say, Kurahashi... - Yeah?

Take a look at this Ise guy's history. It's full of fabrications and lies.

It says he was an honors student at a pharmaceutical university.

But who knows how much is actually true.

Perhaps we could use him to our advantage as an informant...

- You mean make him a spy? - Yeah.

It's too dangerous. No telling what his type might do.

How does the heroin circulate and end up in your hands?

Tell me, who's selling you the drugs?

- Give me a cigarette. - Fuck your cigarette!

Listen up, Ise.

As narcotics detectives, we have the power to take all that heroin,

and we'll spread word that you're an informant working for us.

What do you think happens next?

They'll all come for your head!

Food's here.

As if I'd eat this shit!

Officer, officer...

I gotta pee. Can you help me out here?

Fine.

Ise, got something for you.

Here.

It isn't food?

There was a lunch box too...

But the rules say I can't give it to you.

Anyway, this is from a woman, Shimizu Masumi.

Nice boobs on that one.

Masumi...?

Come on, let me see her, just for a bit.

- You don't get to make requests! - Bastard!

Masumi!

Can you hear me?!

Masumi, Masumi…

Ma… Masumi!

Masumi…

Ah, Masumi...

Ah, Masumi...

Hey, Chief.

If I...

Were to give up the guy I do deals with...

Is there anything in it for me?

Let's see.

If you agree to become an informant and assist in the war against narcotics,

we could do something to prevent time in the slammer.

What the hell? A spy?

Yes, a spy.

That's not even worth a laugh.

You really think I'd betray the group and my boss?

You're different from all those punks.

You actually graduated from a university.

Would it mean... I'd soon taste the air of freedom?

Correct. Immediately.

- This isn't a trick, is it? - Nothing of the sort.

We're counting on you here.

We can report you as a low-level drug peddler and send that to the public prosecutor's office.

You can probably get out on a five hundred thousand yen bail.

Why not earn that money back through us?

The guy I did deals with...

Is called Oukinsha. He's one of S-Group's leaders.

Where does he live?

I don't know where he lives.

Who's the boss they call Sai?

I don't care how minor. Tell us everything you know.

No one knows.

- Not even my boss. - Bullshit!

We can assume that besides Oukinsha,

MINISTRY OF HEALTH

HONG KONG TRIADS⇒S-GROUP⇒ OUKINSHA⇒MINOURA GROUP

S-Group has a number of chiefs, all of whom are led by a boss known as Sai.

Each one smuggles heroin into the country.

Under Sai's watchful eye, it's the largest organized crime group in South Kobe.

Generally speaking, the supply is channeled through Minoura group and then distributed to the public.

Now, so as to work as an informant, and to assist in the arrest of Oukinsha,

we'll be returning Ise Sadao to Minoura group.

By doing so, we'll position ourselves to move in on Sai's operation, internally and externally.

That's all well and good Mr. Shimazaki,

but can we really trust a marked yakuza like that guy?

If our plan's revealed, we'll be worse off than before.

Which is why we'll send an undercover narcotics detective alongside Ise.

I share the same viewpoint. Taking down S-Group requires a sting operation.

I have to ask a favor.

The identities of our Kinkan region detectives

may already be compromised and known to Minoura group.

Can anyone recommend a suitable detective for this role?

We want you to pretend you're friends with one of ours,

to get him inside Minoura group.

What?

His name's Akutsu Ryusuke. He's a detective from the Tokai-Hokuriku region.

You guys underestimate Minoura. You really think this stupid plan will work?

You're doing it.

Because you know what'll happen if you don't...

Yeah...

I get it.

Say, chief, one question for you.

When I get out, I'm gonna have to go back to selling drugs.

You'll keep me on a loose leash, right?

You won't arrest me, will you?

Fine.

We can overlook the small stuff.

Boss! Boss, welcome back!

Welcome home.

Hey, go find the bastard that ratted me out.

- Masumi? - Darling!

Masumi!

I missed you.

Wait...

Not so fast...

Hey, Masumi...

Masumi, I love you.

- Remind you of anything? - You dummy.

Give me some.

Darling, you got out of custody so quickly this time.

I pretended to turn myself in.

Those pigs believed me.

From now on, I'm gonna grab life by the balls.

Nothing can scare me.

Yeah?

It's me.

Seriously?

Got it.

What the fuck? It's me, bro!

Shut up!

What?!

Who's the one that crossed me?!

Was it you?!

You!

Tell me, who's the bastard that did it?!

Get back here!

Shopping, eh?

- Let's get a coffee together. - No, I'll pass.

- It'll just take 5 minutes, can't you spare that? - I have places to go.

Yeah, who is it?

Are you Ise?

And who are you? It's fucking late, you know.

- I'm Akutsu. - Akutsu?

- I don't know you. - Wake up!

This is your new buddy, Akutsu.

I'm a G-man (undercover agent) from Nagoya.

Oh, it's you.

What do you want?

What do I want?

Seems like you're still half asleep.

Splash some cold water on your face.
