Hey, what's up, Ma?

Yeah, it's me.

I'm gonna be late, all right?

Got some things I gotta do.

I love you too. Bye.

Aniki?

Drop the gun, or I'll kill him.

Denny, shoot. Shoot.

- Shoot.

- Drop the gun.

- Put the gun down.

- I'll kill him.

- Shoot! Shoot!

- Drop it! Drop the gun!

- Put the gun down!

- Drop it!

- Shoot!

- I'll kill him!

Oh, sh*t.

Aniki.

He needs rest.

All right.

Sorry, Doc.

Hope this is okay.

Thanks.

What the f*** did you do?

Keep your eyes open.

Don't you think it's time

for your brother to move?

He likes it here.

What about you?

I'll go with you.

How is he?

Much better.

He's fooling around with Denny.

We caught the pusher who ran away.

They caught the runaway pusher.

What shall we do with him?

Have him cut off his fiinger.

What are you doing? Stand up.

Go to the sushi bar.

Get knife and cutting board.

Yes, sir.

What are you guys gonna do?

Cut his fiinger off.

What happens

if you cut his fiinger off?

He can't swim straight anymore.

How's that?

You can't feel anything, can you?

Do it.

Do it.

Do it!

I'll show you how to do it!

Stick your fiinger out!

Wait, man, wait!

I'll give it back. Just stop this sh*t.

Don't cut my f***in'...

Oh, sh*t.

You mother... F***!

Who's the boss of Little Tokyo?

We can expand, if he joins us.

- Hey, Mo.

- Yeah?

Who's the boss of Little Tokyo?

Some player named Shirase.

Should I tell Aniki...

if we got together...

like, join up with them...

our family will be bigger?

What do you think?

A guy named Shirase.

Let's talk to Aniki.

Joining forces with Shirase

is a bad idea.

Why?

He's way too dangerous.

So are we.

You want me to get you

some cigarettes?

No, thanks.

Why?

My stomach hurts.

I'm sory, man.

just joking.

You're messing with me, man.

You wait here.

Don't give me that bullshit!

Be sworn brothers with him?

Be Yamamoto's henchman?

What the f***.

I've come this far by myself.

I haven't had any help from anyone.

Why doesn't Yamamoto come himself...

instead of a punk like you?

Who the f*** does he think he is?

Aniki's not good at things like this.

This? F*** him.

These f***ing guys

want me to be a henchman.

What should I tell them?

You won't reconsider?

No way.

If we joined up,

we'd be better off and bigger.

I can do that on my own.

Get out!

You motherf***er!

We can crush you anytime!

Just ty it.

- Didn't work out.

- Thought so.

He's impossible.

Let's go.

Hey, we're going.

- I have something to do.

- What is it?

- Nothing much.

- Let's go.

- My appointment.

- What is it?

What do you want?

About what we discussed...

I said the answer is no.

We really want you to join us.

Takeshi Kitano

Takeshi Kitano (北野 武, Kitano Takeshi, born 18 January 1947) is a Japanese comedian, television personality, director, actor, author, and screenwriter. While he is known primarily as a comedian and TV host in his native Japan, abroad he is known almost entirely for his filmwork. With the exception of his works as a film director, he is known almost exclusively by the stage name Beat Takeshi (ビートたけし, Bīto Takeshi). Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Two Beat, before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country. After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's Violent Cop and garnered international acclaim for Sonatine (1993). But he was not accepted as a director in Japan until Hana-bi won the Golden Lion in 1997. In October 2017, Kitano's completed his Outrage crime trilogy with the release of Outrage Coda.He has received critical acclaim for his idiosyncratic cinematic work, winning numerous awards with Japanese film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa having once dubbed him "the true successor" to influential filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. Many of Kitano's films are dramas about yakuza gangsters or the police. Described by critics as using an acting style that is highly deadpan or a camera style that approaches near-stasis, Kitano often uses long takes where little appears to be happening, or editing that cuts immediately to the aftermath of an event. Many of his films express a bleak worldview, but are also filled with humor and affection for their characters. more…
