IN 1920 OSAKA HARBOR

Excuse me.

This is the last one.

I'll give you a discount.

How much is it?

It's 2 sen.

Do you know where the Kuroki Delivery Company is?

Kuroki? Do you mean the Yodomasa Group?

You might be right.

Please wait for a second.

You see the warehouse right there.

You'll find their office over there.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Are you looking for a job?

Not really.

If you are, Yodomasa isn't a good company.

In this area, the Yodomasa Group is famous for...

Mr. President.

You don't care if we're sick or hurt.

You're trying to kill us.

We are just dockworkers, but we are humans, too.

Shut up.

Are you trying to disgrace the Yodomasa Group?

I'm asking for help.

Hey.

You can't let them talk like that.

Watch out.

Yes, sir.

President.

Please wait.

Who are you?

What do you want?

You knew Katsuji who died in an accident 3 months ago.

Are you related?

I'm his brother.

Okay. Come with us.

This is it. Take it.

That's it he left?

What? Do you have a complaint?

No.

Where did his bones go?

I don't know.

They must be in a potter's field somewhere.

In a potter's field?

There is a guy named Kawakami Toramatsu.

Ask him.

WADASHIMA GROUP

Toramatsu.

Toramatsu. Come here.

What?

No thanks.

We'll wait for you at our usual place.

That's not fair. You guys get paid every day.

Of course. I'm not a regular employee like you.

If it rains for 3 days, we're broke.

Hey.

Hi, Boss.

Don't blame the weather.

You're broke because of the girl in Matsushima.

Right?

Boss. You know me too well.

Excuse me.

Do you know where Toramatsu is?

You have a visitor.

I'm Toramatsu.

Are you?

I'm Fujikawa Katsuji's brother.

Are you Katsuji's brother?

Can I ask you some questions about Katsuji?

Sure, wait a minute.

FUJIKAWA KATSUJI'S GRAVE

He was a very nice guy.

He was a typical Tokyo guy.

I don't think you know this.

The Yodomasa Group is a gang.

A gang?

The gang operates the company?

Yes.

Niizawa is the head of a gang group in the Minami area.

They treat us as like animals there.

Katsuji tried hard to protect us.

I don't know how many workers he saved.

I don't understand...

...why the smart guy like him fell off the ship.

He did?

That's what they told us.

Thank you for telling me.

Who paid for this grave?

What are you talking about?

I really wanted to do this for Katsuji.

I hope he likes it.

Thank you.

MATSUSHIMA SHINCHI

After our parents died, we had no place to go and no family.

We've worked at Yokohama ever since I was 18 years old.

Katsuji suddenly decided to leave Yokohama 3 years ago.

He said, "You and I can't work together forever."

Watch. I'll go to the West and become very successful.

It's a competition between you and me...

He wrote only about the good things in his letters.

That's why I couldn't believe it when he passed away.

I see.

Toramatsu. I feel so happy tonight.

Please drink with me.

Look. She is my favorite girl.

Isn't she pretty?

She is so into me. It gets annoying.

Hi, Toramatsu.

Hey.

See? I told you.

You're here again?

You shouldn't be here.

I don't know what to tell my boss about your bills.

What are you talking about?

We both don't have much money.

Please be patient for a little while longer.

Why do I have to be patient?

Don't be so sassy.

We'll get married some day.

Idiot.

What do you think of me?

You're one of my regular customers.

That's it?

If you have more money, you'll be my favorite customer.

I see. That's stupid.

Miss.

She is lying.

She talks about you all the time.

See?

Don't say that.

He'll keep on coming.

His head will get bigger and bigger.

Sorry. I can't stay with you tonight.

Please go home.

Thank you for waiting.

Go to bed, okay?

Please come this way.

I love you, Toramatsu.

Shut up.

What's going on?

Sorry, Toramatsu.

She isn't feeling well.

Take care.

Let's go.

Are you leaving already?

They only have ugly ones left.

Welcome.

Brother.

That's Niizawa.

Toramatsu told me about everything.

Thank you for being great friends of Katsuji.

I'm going back to Yokohama tomorrow.

Please visit me when you come to Tokyo.

This is a gift from me.

Please enjoy.

Master. Can I borrow your cups?

Wow it's a big party, huh?

Why can't you pay me back if you have time to drink?

Give it to me.

Why?

Why don't you ask the smart guy right there?

The smart guy?

How are you going to pay for the dues from last month?

It's a very difficult question.

What?

You're so slow.

It's like a frog in winter.

What do you mean?

It means that we're still thinking about it.

It doesn't make any sense.

I'm just asking you if you're going to pay your dues.

I told you that we're still thinking about it.

Old man.

It's someone's butt.

What?

That means we're broke.

Idiots.

May I ask you something?

You're Katsuji's.

Stop it.

What are you trying to do?

Look at this.

You borrowed money to pay for Katsuji's grave.

You'll never get rich if you're that generous.

I understand that.

You were the cosigner for the loan.

Of course, I'll pay it if he can't.
