why didn't you tell us?

I didn't want to bother anybody.

That's sounds like you. Anyway welcome back.

It's been such a long time.

But you still look the same. In fact, you look more handsome.

Oh, don't tease me.

How old are you now?

I'm 46.

46... really.

I guess so. You've been away for 15 years.

- Tachibana, bring that. - Yes.

I have a welcome home gift for you.

- Where is Yasa? - Minami is taking care of him.

Oh he is? He is a very smart man.

His business is doing well...

Oh, where is the boss?

We are not the old school gangs.

How was the auction?

There was? How much?

Oh really? 15,000,000 for munch!

Wasn't there anything of Chagall?

- It's this way. - It'll be expensive.

Don't worry about it today.

Thanks, dad.

- Shall we eat dinner? - OK. Right there.

How you've been, uncle?

I received the money for school and the birthday gift.

I love the beautiful pen. All my friends envy me.

I'll treasure this pen.

I am writing this letter at a café listening to Tchaikovsky.

It's been breezy today.

It snowed three centimeters a day before yesterday.

The city is beautiful when it is covered by snow.

I don't think you can even imagine.

Isn't it the middle of summer in Brazil now?

May I take your order?

Coffee.

Is there a café that plays Tchaikovsky in Brazil?

Would you like to request any music?

Tchaikovsky please.

It's playing now.

Welcome home.

Did you hear anything?

They're waiting at Kainantei.

Mr. Minami. I'm so happy.

I didn't believe this would happen.

Long time no see. I'm so happy.

Mr. Kanno is still the same, too.

Yokohama will go back how it was in the old days!

I'm glad. Anyway let's eat first.

You're the man, Mr. Kanno. Toryukai is in good hands.

Can't find people like you these days.

The boss Sakata must be very happy.

Got it, got it! Just feed us please!

You don't understand. You really don't understand.

There is nobody like him.

Come on. Hurry up!

You don't understand.

Thank you for everything.

Welcome back!

I'm sorry there is nothing in the apartment.

The place is luxurious for me.

No way.

Did you go to see the boss?

I just did a while ago.

He's aged, hasn't he?

He gave me a present.

A painting?

He is crazy about paintings nowadays.

Everybody doesn't know what to do with him...

She is looking forward to seeing you.

The Matsuoka's.

Did you tell her about my return?

I shouldn't have?

She grew up to be a nice girl.

You should meet her. I'll arrange it.

She is really looking forward to it.

I killed her father. How can I see her?

What do you mean?

You helped her all these years.

It's not me.

It's because of you.

Don't say that. I was just a messenger.

Don't be silly.

You should just go see her once.

I'll tell Takeda to take you.

Do you remember him?

The one who was in our karate club.

He's in our group now and works for me.

He takes her to school, too.

Hey.

Yes?

Is the gambling house still in business?

Hey, Mr. Kanno.

- When did you come back? - Yesterday.

Welcome back. Please enjoy yourself now.

Who's that? The one Mr. Otani greeted?

You don't know? He is Kanno Hideji...

What!

The famous slayer hide.

He killed Matsuoka 15 years ago who betrayed our boss and...

Was locked up 15 years for it.

So Mr. Minaken is...

He worked under Mr. Kanno.

So did Mr. Minami and Mr. Yamamoto.

Mr. Kanno.

Welcome back! I didn't know.

You look good!

- Yes... ah... - Your ride is here.

See you soon.

Welcome back!

Forget about European cars.

American cars are the best, right?

- Still, the French model isn't bad. - They're only for punks.

But the boss has a Mercedes.

That's a German car!

You're so ignorant! I recommended it to him.

But...

What?

You said there is only one Lincoln in Japan...

Tamaoka Osamu owns the same model.

- Tamaoka Osamu? - The actor.

What? You were deceived by the dealer again.

You idiot! It only looks like mine!

Really? Mr. Tamaoka told me it's the same model.

- 1978! - Yes, his car is 1978.

So you do have the same car as Tamaoka.

You're so quiet.

Bring him another drink!

Do you only drink? Aren't you interested in a woman?

You told me there is only one!

What? You shouldn't lie!

You need to destroy his or take mine back!

Stupid! Of course I need all my money back!

Bring it! Bring it now!

I'll beat you up if you don't bring it!

Don't give the microphone to him anymore!

Who are you?

You look familiar.

You're from Ishii?

Mr. Kanno.

You can come out how.

Mr. Minami has been taking care of me well. My name is Takeda.

This guy is from Ishii, who used to work for Matsuoka.

The man you killed.

He just tried to show off.

Mr. Minami told me to come and greet you.

I'll come pick you up at two in the afternoon tomorrow.

I'll take him back with me. Sorry for the trouble.

Hey.

Yes?

Go easy on him.

Yes.

That's her.

The one on the very left.

Shall I call her?

No, don't.

That punk Takahata Tetsuji is one of Ishii's pawns.

Ishii used to work for Matsuoka, the one you killed.

He's obsessively trying to get revenge.

He's stupid not knowing the truth of why his ex-boss was killed.

Hey, Ishii.

Yes?

You shouldn't have anything against to Mr. Kanno.

I don't! Believe me!

Matsuoka betrayed our group.

So he was killed.

Yes.

Do you understand that?

I understand.

Mr. Kanno, please believe me...

It's OK.

I'm really sorry.
