1924 AFTER THE KANTO EARTHQUAKE THE TOKYO FISH MARKET MOVED TO TSUKIJI.

THE FOLLOWING YEAR

TOKYO FISH MARKET

Hey, Tokichi! Are you still drunk?

What?

Are you hung over? This is Marue's store.

The Marukyo store is across the aisle.

Hey, Matsu. You're the one who's confused.

Can't you read?

When did this store join the new union?

I'm surprised, too. It's not just this store.

This morning 8 stores have switched from Marue to Marukyo.

The new union is very strong.

Oh, the boss of the new union is here.

Thanks to you, I feel safe doing business here.

Yes. Without this sign, I'd feel unprotected.

I organized the union for the good of the market.

I'm glad you all are happy with it.

Are you opposed to the new union?

Sure. Throwing money around and using muscle

are just like the bad guys in a movie. Don't like it.

You're old fashioned.

It would be good for the fish market if the new union unites everyone.

Idiot!

It's the fish market I'm thinking of.

All the original store who were good to us

are being forced out and I can't stand still.

- You're a fool. - What?

Can I help you?

Stubborn as usual, I see.

But you're wrong.

The times are changing.

The Earthquake changed everything.

The fish market must move into the modem age.

No longer should small wholesalers compete.

There must be just one wholesaler, one union.

That's the practical solution.

Mr. Goda. I'm not opposed to the union.

But some stores were made to join by force.

I'm also a self-made man like you.

I have many enemies so I take precautions.

These men are very loyal. They'd go to jail for me.

So are you threatening me now?

I'll leave the interpretation to you.

Think whether you're better or worse opposing me.

- Excuse me. - Goodbye.

Sis...

Boss, I hear Yamagen has joined the union.

I know.

- If this keeps on... - Don't talk nonsense.

Don't let them get to you.

Boss should do what she thinks is right.

- That's right. - Right, Boss?

Yes. Let's get back to work.

Welcome back.

When I see yakuzas in the fish market, I get sick to my stomach.

What did you say?

You'll be in big trouble opposing us.

Hey, Matsu! Let me in.

Wait. I want to show them our spirit. Stay back.

You'll pay for this.

Hey. I had everything under control.

It didn't seem that way.

What? You're annoying me.

Okay, I'll show you what I'm really made of.

- I'll win. - What?

I said, I'm better.

Can't tell if we don't fight.

I'll win. Go ahead, try.

You're pretty good. Let me see.

I see. How about this?

I'm sorry.

Don't.

Stop, Matsu.

This is no way to show your spirit.

Yeah. Stop talking about spirit.

Damn you.

Matsu. Are you really going to fight?

Sure.

Then go for it.

Let's not fight.

Hey, Sabu, keep the sake coming.

Sure thing. Hey, bring the bottles.

Drink and make up. I have an appointment.

Thanks, Boss.

Oh, Miss.

You look like you had a big fight.

I'm pretty good at fights but this Captain is even better.

Don't call me captain. I'm just an engineer.

But the ship won't move without me.

So maybe I outrank the captain.

That's why I lost. Drink up.

Until 6 years ago, the chef here let me tell him...

He was a famous yakuza around Tsukiji.

But now I've gone straight.

Let's not talk about the past.

He's really a great guy.

- I eat free always. - Not on your life.

Hey, Sabu!

Yeah?

Oh, Miss.

Hello, Miss.

What is it?

I found something interesting.

Let's go in the back.

Hi, Matsu.

Please come in.

This is fine.

I was cleaning the closet and found this.

What's this?

Six years ago when Dad was still alive, he must have written this for you.

Dear old dad.

One. Do not fight unnecessarily.

Two. Do not cause trouble for others.

MISS...

Dad must have liked you very much.

If he saw you working hard like this, he would have been glad.

He took such good care of me.

He made is possible for me to have this store.

Miss. Can I have this?

Sure. It's proof of Dad's feelings for you.

- Matsu! - Yes.

I hear you were in a fight again.

It wasn't that big a deal.

I see the evidence. Who did you fight?

If he fought you, he's probably nothing special.

It was me.

Oh?

You're nothing special either.

Women should keep quiet. No one will many you.

That's not your problem.

No one would want you for a son-in-law.

If you many someone like that, she'll boss you around for life.

That's not your problem.

That's true.

But she sure is pretty.

- Yeah, so so. - Pretty, so so.

She has a cute younger sister.

TIGER CAFE

Welcome.

Everyone's been waiting for you.

We've been waiting for you.

Congratulations.

Could you ladies leave us?

I'm sorry. I had to attend several banquets.

You're the City's Fishery Department Head.

Oh, Goda, I can decline other parties

but I made sure I came here.

Once again, congratulations.

Boss Ishizu helped and we now have 70% of the wholesalers in our new union.

So soon you'll rule the fish market.

Then we can control the price of the fish.

But there's one problem.

There's still those with old fashioned ideas.

You're talking of the Edoichi opposition?

They have a strong bond with their retailers.

If we can get Edoichi in our union, we're set.

Why don't you leave that problem to me?

That's why I have these young thugs around.

Now that we're so close to our goal, we shouldn't resort to violence.

After all, you're about to control a market that does I billion yen of business a year.

Don't get impatient and hide your time.

I'll help you.

Thank you.

Once that happens, you'll take care of the longshoreman's union?

- Ishizu, don't worry. - You have a plan?

You see that man?

He's been doing things for me.

- How do you know him? - Shut up.

Why can't you tell me?

We were very poor.

Mr. Goda took care of my parents.

You're pretty loyal, aren't you?

SAKAE ICHIKAWA

That hairstyle suits you.

Really?

Yes, you look wonderful.

You're the image of your dead mother.

I refuse to die until you many.

There you go again.

This way.

Come in.

It stinks.

Beggars can't be choosers.

I warn you. You're not getting out tonight.

All right.

- Good evening. - He's back.

Oh, you have a guest.

- Oh, Miss. - I'll go, then.

No, wait. He was just leaving.
