TOEI MOVIE COMPANY LTD., Presents

We would like to celebrate our boss' return back into society at this time.

Boss...

Due to the fact that we are observing the death

of our successor at this time, we have decided

to make this a very private gathering.

We would now like to ask our stand-in boss

who has led us while our boss was away

to give a toast to celebrate the start of a new chapter

as we work our way to overcome the sudden death of our boss.

I feel that my father's greatest regret was that

he could not hold on until the boss had returned.

I would like to propose a toast to our third successor

and our continued success.

SHIN GOKUDO NO ONNATACHI

55 is too young.

He had his entire future ahead of him.

I feel so badly.

It was his heart. It can't be helped.

He was able to take his last breath on a

tatami regardless of all of the things he did.

I think he was very lucky.

Never mind that. Hurry and become the successor

so I can take it easy.

It would be a waste to let you retire

How about it?

Would you like to stay as a consultant?

Don't be ridiculous. It's your time now.

I can't do anything compared to you.

I don't have any confidence in becoming the successor wife.

What are you saying?

You just do it your way.

That's right, Aunty.

You'll only feel pressured if you try to be like my mom.

The men are the ones who make the money.

Just remember that our job is to spend that money.

Is that why you go travelling by yourself while your

husband stays behind?

Yes.

He's a great breadwinner.

Young Master...

Young Master!

I hear you made quite a bit of money with stocks.

It wasn't me.

I just let him use my name.

Times sure have changed.

You can make millions just by loaning your name out.

I can't keep up.

Boss...

Please excuse me.

You better watch what you say.

Can you make some money yourself?

Those two are at it again.

Please smile.

Thank you.

Please have fun!

Thank you.

You're going to stop representing us?

I was able to come this far because

of your sister and...

The Bar is getting on my case as well.

I'm thinking of opening an office in Hiroshima and

starting over again.

I'm all for it.

You shouldn't feel obligated to stay with the group just

because Mom paid for your tuition and took care of you.

I didn't feel obligated...

I may have taken advantage of you, too.

I think you should start over in a new environment.

Thank you very much.

Please smile.

Thank you.

Naoya.

Come over here.

I heard you've been harassing some

small groups around here.

Who told you that? My mom?

Naoya.

The yakuza world is at a crossroads right now.

One wrong move and you'll be swallowed up

by larger groups like Kanbara.

We won't be able to do anything if we have

to keep bowing down to the Kanbara group.

It hasn't been too long yet since I've become independent.

I'm not as talented as my sister's husband...

I'm just saying to stay under the radar.

Are you listening to me?

All right.

But it might be too late.

What?

I broke off one of Kanbara's branches.

They may all come charging onto this boat to get revenge.

I'm just joking.

It's just firecrackers.

I told them to go for it to celebrate your promotion.

You!

Don't you know what's appropriate and inappropriate?

You idiot!

Young Master, can you stand up?

I'm fine right here!

What a handful.

Naoya!

His father spoiled him too much.

Just ignore him.

Here we go.

Hong Kong

Hey.

Papa.

Were you a good girl?

You were supposed to meet me yesterday.

I was so lonely.

I'll make it up to you tonight.

Boss!

Stop crying and tell us what's going on!

He said he was going for a walk while I was in the shower.

He didn't say anything else?

No!

I don't know anything! I'm telling the truth!

Boss!

Sis!

Everyone's watching. Pull it together.

You two!

Naoya!

Are you saying he did it alone?

Yes, he told the police that he had been waiting for a

chance to kill Matsuoka ever since his group

was forced to fold four years ago.

Four years by himself? That doesn't sound right.

What about that petty hostess?

It seems she had nothing to do with it.

No matter how far we dug into her background

we couldn't find anything to connect her and the suspect.

The Hong Kong police are most likely going to conclude

that he acted on his own.

How pathetic.

Do you think Kanbara is involved?

We need more information.

Can you get some information from the police over here?

All right.

The wake is at 7:00. It's a private service.

Kunii!

Where's Mr. Kunii?

The Boss' wife asked him to come to the main house.

The Boss' wife?

If we let our guard down now, Kanbara will be sure

to take that opportunity.

I think it's priority to name the third successor.

I agree.

As if we didn't have enough to deal with Kanbara, the

police are making some kind of nonsense law.

Old-school yakuza like us don't know how to manage this group anymore.

Sonoda, what do you think?

I don't think we can protect our group with our old ways.

The new law allows them to close us down even if they

suspect that we're going to start a war.

They also take away our profits if they find out it belongs to the group.

The groups that only rely on their power will be

the first to be closed down.

We need to think about changing our organization

to reflect the times in order to protect ourselves from

the police and Kanbara.

You may be right.

Kunii...

What do you think?

I realize keeping up with the times is important, but

we're the yakuza.

That's right. That's why I need you to be the young leader

and support Sonoda.

I think that's the best for our group.

What do you think? Why don't you answer her?

I understand.

Do you promise to protect this Fujinami crest?

Yes.

You be the third successor.

This is patrol 205.

There's nothing unusual here.

Kadotani from the Kanbara group is here.

Didn't we say this was a private wake?

They're the ones who did this.

Don't say things that you don't know for a fact.

That's why you're no good.

I was told it was a private service, but Matsuoka

took care of me in my younger days so...

This was so unfortunate.

His era was just beginning.

My boss asked me to tell you to be strong.

Thank you very much.

It was unfortunate, but we have many good men here,

so we'll be fine.

Please tell your boss that.

Mr. Kadotani is leaving. See him out.

Please...

Thank you.

I heard Sis put Kadotani in his place and he was speechless.

That's so like her. She's so tough.

That's right. We didn't have to back down from Kanbara

at all five years ago thanks to her toughness.

I heard Kadotani came.
