**[00:33] ---**
Gin.
**[00:36] ---**
I've woken you. Excuse my impoliteness.
**[00:46] ---**
The dream you drew for us...
**[00:49] ---**
To leave this dirty country and
raise a flag of justice on foreign soil.
**[00:53] ---**
We'd eventually call in members of
the clan and take on the city of villains.
**[00:58] ---**
That was quite attractive.
**[01:00] ---**
We've learned from experience how much
those Russian soldiers are capable of.
**[01:06] ---**
I will cut a path through them
until I reach Balalaika,
**[01:08] ---**
then challenge her one-on-one.
**[01:11] ---**
She is undoubtedly worthy
of this white sheath.
**[01:16] ---**
I've come this far with you, Gin.
**[01:20] ---**
So, I'll be with you from now on, as well.
**[01:24] ---**
Even to Roanapur?
**[01:27] ---**
Yes.
**[01:41] ---**
Good work.
**[01:42] ---**
Thanks to you, our job here
will end without incident.
**[01:46] ---**
My work here is done.
**[01:48] ---**
Someone from Moscow
will take over from here.
**[01:54] ---**
It's a shame I won't get
to see the aftermath.
**[01:57] ---**
It really is a shame.
**[02:10] ---**
"Kousa"
**[02:12] ---**
Hey, Ishiguro. About those
three that came here.
**[02:15] ---**
Huh? What about them?
**[02:17] ---**
What do you mean, "huh?"
**[02:18] ---**
The two Caucasians and one
Japanese that came here.
**[02:20] ---**
Did you check into them?
**[02:22] ---**
I'm having someone check
the ICPO data, but nothing...
**[02:25] ---**
What's happening with the request to
have an international specialist on it?
**[02:28] ---**
Right. Someone named Kouno is
supposed to be on his way here.
**[02:32] ---**
That white woman is definitely
involved in the conflict
**[02:34] ---**
between the Washimine Clan
and the Kousa Clan.
**[02:37] ---**
She may even have something
**[02:39] ---**
to do with the shooting incident at
the bowling center in Adachi. Listen.
**[02:41] ---**
In any case, don't you take
your eyes off of them.
**[02:51] ---**
What is it?
**[02:52] ---**
What do you mean?
**[02:53] ---**
You're the one who looks like
you have something to say.
**[02:57] ---**
Was it my imagination?
**[03:02] ---**
Miss Balalaika.
**[03:03] ---**
Rock,
**[03:04] ---**
is this about what we talked about last time?
**[03:08] ---**
I've already spared your life.
**[03:12] ---**
Is there something else you desire?
**[03:17] ---**
If it were possible.
**[03:19] ---**
I'll listen, but that's all.
**[03:21] ---**
One thing. Just let me say one thing.
**[03:24] ---**
If everything is about to settle down,
then before that,
**[03:31] ---**
I'd like you to completely
crush the Washimine Clan!
**[03:34] ---**
To the point that the group will
no longer be able to survive.
**[03:38] ---**
Wipe them out completely so not a
single withered tree remains standing.
**[03:41] ---**
It's the only way to free her.
**[03:47] ---**
I see your point.
**[03:51] ---**
I see. I see. Indeed.
**[03:55] ---**
That certainly is the only way to push
the princess back into a normal life.
**[04:06] ---**
You're a villain, Rock.
**[04:09] ---**
That is the correct decision.
You'll become a good villain.
**[04:19] ---**
Please forgive my delay.
**[04:22] ---**
I'm certain you must be exhausted
from these long discussions.
**[04:24] ---**
Please don't worry about it. This
accomplishes one of our goals, as well.
**[04:28] ---**
Let's wipe the slate clean and move forward.
**[04:38] ---**
Mr. Kousa.
**[04:41] ---**
We must prepare plans over
who will succeed us in the future.
**[04:48] ---**
If certain contingencies
should occur in our absence,
**[04:52] ---**
it will be difficult for
us to respond properly.
**[04:57] ---**
I wish to know your state
of readiness over firearms.
**[05:04] ---**
Is it adequate?
**[05:06] ---**
Well, ah, I can't say it too loud,
**[05:09] ---**
but compared to other clans,
we have many more guns by far.
**[05:14] ---**
We've even bought a machine gun
from the guys in Hawaii.
**[05:20] ---**
Would you oblige me?
**[05:22] ---**
Morozumi.
**[05:30] ---**
I'd like to see the bullets, as well.
**[05:45] ---**
I see. Quite the competent
bodyguard you have.
**[05:48] ---**
Do you have any backup
means of protection?
**[05:51] ---**
Boss...
**[05:52] ---**
There'd be no profit in having a shootout
at this point in our discussions.
**[05:56] ---**
I don't want any trouble later.
Hand it to her.
**[06:07] ---**
What is this?
**[06:10] ---**
Absolutely atrocious!
Keep up with me, okay, Rock?
**[06:15] ---**
Th-This is a terrible gun.
**[06:19] ---**
Take a look, Sergeant. Atrocious, isn't it?
**[06:22] ---**
This is simply terrible.
**[06:25] ---**
I doubt if even low-life punks in
the gutter would use guns like this.
**[06:30] ---**
Absolutely atrocious.
**[06:32] ---**
What a hideous gun.
**[06:35] ---**
Have you ever stopped to consider
**[06:40] ---**
what it would feel like to be
shot with a gun like this?
**[06:47] ---**
That's it. I can't work with
scum who shamelessly
**[06:52] ---**
sport shoddy guns like this.
**[06:57] ---**
Mr. Yasuda! Gunshots! Go in!
**[07:00] ---**
Enter the premises!
**[07:02] ---**
Open up! Open this door!
**[07:08] ---**
Open up! If you don't open this door,
we'll force our way in!
**[07:17] ---**
Oh? This gun isn't all that bad.
Sergeant, how are we for time?
**[07:23] ---**
It's not a problem, Captain.
But how do we explain this to the boss?
**[07:28] ---**
Pyotr told me to start a war
and burn it all to ashes.
**[07:32] ---**
I simply followed orders obediently.
**[07:35] ---**
Rock. This is your gun.
Wanna take it as a souvenir?
**[07:40] ---**
I don't like guns.
**[07:42] ---**
And I don't carry things I'm
not accustomed to. However,
**[07:45] ---**
I will not forget that I pulled this trigger.
**[07:50] ---**
I'm returning this to you.
**[07:56] ---**
Sergeant, throw that gun away here,
as well. We're returning to base.
**[08:03] ---**
Everyone on the premises! Nobody move!
**[08:05] ---**
This is Yasuzawa of Department Four!
**[08:09] ---**
I am Ishiguro of Department One.
I'm in charge of this case.
**[08:12] ---**
I'd like to ask a few questions
about the gunshots we just heard.
**[08:15] ---**
Please come with us.
**[08:17] ---**
How are we doing?
**[08:17] ---**
Right on time.
**[08:22] ---**
Rock, give this message
to the Washimine girl.
**[08:25] ---**
Hotel Moscow will cease all
attacks as of this moment.
**[08:30] ---**
The Washimine Clan you seek to destroy
**[08:33] ---**
has already dispersed underground.
**[08:36] ---**
That girl thinks more
flexibly than you imagine.
**[08:41] ---**
According to the information
Bulgaziviri gathered,
**[08:43] ---**
their clan members believe that
their princess will eventually
**[08:47] ---**
invite them to Roanapur to raise their flag.
**[08:52] ---**
Of all places, she chose Roanapur.
**[09:01] ---**
My ride will be arriving.
Make way, civilian policemen!
**[09:06] ---**
Hey! I'm not done talking.
**[09:12] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[09:14] ---**
The ambassador is waiting
at Mamiana, Miss Vladilena.
**[09:17] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[09:18] ---**
You can't, Mr. Yasuda.
**[09:19] ---**
It's a diplomatic number.
**[09:27] ---**
Rock!
**[09:28] ---**
Hey!
**[09:30] ---**
Wait!
**[09:30] ---**
Get him!
**[09:33] ---**
Calm down!
**[09:35] ---**
We're the ones you want to talk to.
**[09:38] ---**
Don't be so easily
distracted by the small fry.
**[09:40] ---**
Farewell, Mr. Civilian Cop. If you
ever need to reach me, please contact
**[09:45] ---**
V. N. Valezhnov, First Secretary,
Embassy of the Russian Federation.
**[09:50] ---**
Visit me whenever you wish.
**[09:57] ---**
Excuse me.
**[09:57] ---**
Hey!
**[09:58] ---**
Damn it! I didn't make it in time!
**[10:01] ---**
Who are you?
**[10:03] ---**
I'm Kouno with International Investigations.
**[10:05] ---**
Why didn't you arrest them
if you witnessed gunshots?
**[10:10] ---**
It occurred within the premises,
so it was only based on assumption.
**[10:13] ---**
So, who was she? Did you find out?
**[10:17] ---**
She's an incredible big shot.
**[10:20] ---**
There's a mafia group called Hotel Moscow
who have their headquarters in Moscow,
**[10:24] ---**
as well as a powerful presence in
places like Chechnya and New York.
**[10:27] ---**
She's known as "Balalaika."
**[10:29] ---**
She's a high-ranking
officer of Hotel Moscow!
**[10:31] ---**
What?
**[10:33] ---**
Damn it!
**[10:36] ---**
Emergency! Crime scene to headquarters!
**[10:38] ---**
Send an urgent message to
all patrol cars in the area!
**[10:40] ---**
Did we get a picture of her face?
A description of her appearance?
**[10:43] ---**
Nothing.
**[10:44] ---**
Then put together a profile or something.
**[10:46] ---**
We'll at least find out who
her Japanese contacts are!
**[10:52] ---**
Revy! We need to tell
her that the war's over!
**[10:55] ---**
You're outta your mind!
**[10:56] ---**
In just over thirty minutes,
this area is going to be quarantined!
**[11:00] ---**
You're not gonna see her!
**[11:02] ---**
We don't have time.
Contact them from the ship.
**[11:04] ---**
We're close to departure time!
**[11:06] ---**
But!
**[11:21] ---**
Mr. Okajima.
**[11:23] ---**
Y-Yukio?
**[11:31] ---**
Mr. Okajima.
**[11:33] ---**
Please escort us to the Marya Zeleska.
**[11:36] ---**
Miss.
**[11:47] ---**
Damn it! I can't believe it! He's even
been kidnapped by a high school girl!
**[11:56] ---**
You drive, too?
**[11:58] ---**
Well, I'm a delinquent, aren't I?
**[12:00] ---**
Yukio, what's with the talk
about taking over Roanapur?
**[12:05] ---**
I'm standing in the twilight,
just like you say.
**[12:08] ---**
But there are some things
I can see because of that.
**[12:10] ---**
Doesn't it sound like fun?
**[12:13] ---**
Hotel Moscow has announced
an end to the fighting! It's over!
**[12:17] ---**
What kind of promise is Balalaika's word?
**[12:21] ---**
Yukio.
**[12:22] ---**
How can anyone trust that rabid dog,
**[12:24] ---**
who has broken all promises,
betrayed us, and spit on faith.
**[12:37] ---**
Hey! Hey! This is a hold up!
Don't you understand?
**[12:42] ---**
If I could have honestly believed that
I'd be able to rebuild the clan in Roanapur,
**[12:47] ---**
that would have been wonderful.
**[12:49] ---**
But it was just a passing wish.
**[12:52] ---**
As long as Gin and I are here,
Washimine and its emblem exist.
**[12:58] ---**
It has not fallen to Earth.
**[13:00] ---**
So, you're coming back to that again.
**[13:02] ---**
I was born into the side of the night,
and grew up with the night.
**[13:07] ---**
Sure, I have enjoyed pretending
I was meant to lead a normal life.
**[13:12] ---**
Bottom line, this is the path of reality.
**[13:16] ---**
I have no value as a hostage
against Hotel Moscow.
**[13:20] ---**
Then we'll use you as a shield.
**[13:21] ---**
Or I'll have you witness where this
all-or-nothing decision is headed.
**[13:26] ---**
There's nothing but a
massacre waiting for you!
**[13:28] ---**
But there is a flower that may bloom there.
**[13:30] ---**
Have you forgotten? We are yakuza.
**[13:35] ---**
Damn it!
**[13:41] ---**
Gentlemen, our operation is complete.
Let us return to Roanapur.
**[13:49] ---**
Miss.
**[13:53] ---**
I'm not letting you get away!
**[14:02] ---**
Miss.
**[14:03] ---**
We cannot be the ones to hit
the brakes first in this battle.
**[14:16] ---**
Knock it off!
**[14:29] ---**
Rock! I told you!
She's already the walking dead.
**[14:33] ---**
Revy!
**[14:34] ---**
I hear that the Kousa Council has been
dissolved as a result of an internal dispute.
**[14:39] ---**
However, the one who betrayed
and slaughtered Tsugio Bando,
**[14:44] ---**
our clan's leader, still lives.
**[14:47] ---**
She is Balalaika, the head of
our enemy, Hotel Moscow.
**[14:51] ---**
We pride ourselves in living with honor,
seeing justice through, and rewarding honor.
**[14:56] ---**
There is no duty that you must be
bound to! That's simply a front!
**[15:03] ---**
Please allow us to pass.
**[15:09] ---**
Gin.
**[16:10] ---**
Mr. Gin is no longer with you.
**[16:37] ---**
I shouldn't have brought the Miss here.
**[16:40] ---**
We're all the same. No matter
how far we go, we're not normal.
**[16:47] ---**
This is a place where only
those like us should be,
**[16:52] ---**
don't you agree, lady?
**[16:59] ---**
There was an option that you could've taken
**[17:01] ---**
that would've allowed you to avoid
taking the same path as Miss Balalaika.
**[17:05] ---**
I assumed you would choose that.
**[17:09] ---**
That's where I was wrong.
**[17:12] ---**
You're not here to save face as yakuza.
**[17:16] ---**
You struggled against being
absorbed into the night, that's why.
**[17:27] ---**
There are things that I can see
because I stand here in the twilight.
**[17:32] ---**
You should've forced Gin to throw
away his sword and run away with him.
**[17:38] ---**
And become wanderers together, seek a
faraway land, and open some shop.
**[17:44] ---**
That's a joke, as well.
**[17:50] ---**
It's no joke! Where is the real you?!
**[17:55] ---**
Sure. I often wondered,
"What if I were able to live like that?"
**[18:00] ---**
But I had already thrown my dice.
**[18:04] ---**
I kept thinking how great it would be
if life in Takamachi would last forever.
**[18:12] ---**
With musical bands, all the stores,
and you by my side,
**[18:16] ---**
it's bound to be enjoyable.
**[18:36] ---**
Too late. You were too damn late.
**[18:39] ---**
You know that the only place
we'll end up is in a coffin of mud.
**[18:45] ---**
But you tried to live.
**[18:48] ---**
I screwed up.
**[18:55] ---**
Revy! Revy!
**[19:00] ---**
I'm all right. Damn. I'm seeing black.
**[19:04] ---**
Those words you made her say.
That was the real bullet.
**[19:10] ---**
If it weren't for that,
I'd be the one on the ground.
**[19:13] ---**
Don't talk! This is gonna hurt.
You'll have to withstand it.
**[19:20] ---**
Raise your leg, Revy! I'm gonna rewrap it!
**[19:26] ---**
Why?
**[19:29] ---**
Why did it have to come to this?
**[19:34] ---**
Where you became distorted is when you
lied to yourself that you wanted this.
**[19:39] ---**
You were too smart to fool yourself.
**[19:45] ---**
Eleven.
**[19:48] ---**
That's the number of people
who have been killed under my orders
**[19:52] ---**
since that night I threw the dice.
**[19:53] ---**
Our city is filled with people
who live their lives like that!
**[19:58] ---**
Now that I've woken up,
that land is too far away for me.
**[20:06] ---**
I apologize for having troubled you.
As of this moment,
**[20:10] ---**
I will bring everything to an end.
**[20:12] ---**
Don't look at her, Rock! It'll scar you!
**[20:33] ---**
Is that you, Rock? I feel like I haven't
seen you in ten thousand years.
**[20:37] ---**
How'd you like that fake
Chinese-Canadian passport I got you?
**[20:41] ---**
It came in handy, didn't it?
**[20:44] ---**
Dutch.
**[20:46] ---**
Yeah, I heard.
**[20:47] ---**
"People are like dice,
we throw ourselves into life."
**[20:52] ---**
Do you know about the
Frenchman who said that?
**[20:56] ---**
Jean-Paul Sartre.
An existentialist philosopher.
**[21:01] ---**
But the phrase, "Quickly put a hole in a guy
**[21:05] ---**
who tries to put five eggs into three
baskets," hits closer to home for me.
**[21:12] ---**
Yeah, I hear you.
**[21:13] ---**
There's work waiting for you
as soon as you get back.
**[21:16] ---**
They want us to deliver a pile of guns
to Tsanwi by the day after tomorrow.
**[21:19] ---**
All right then. Later.
**[21:21] ---**
It's time for our flight, partner.
**[22:42] ---**
From Miss Balalaika to you.
**[22:46] ---**
This city, Roanapur. You've got the
power of guns and the power of liquor.
**[22:51] ---**
A wonderful place where you can blow
away everything with barbaric power.
**[22:56] ---**
It's not such a bad place.
That's what I'm beginning to think.
**[23:00] ---**
Yeah, it's not bad.
**[23:02] ---**
I plan to see everything that
goes on here, from the twilight.
**[23:08] ---**
All right. Let's go then.
**[23:11] ---**
Into our city.
**[23:14] ---**
So? How was Japan?
**[23:17] ---**
Well, Balalaika was there and we
were there. It's the same anywhere.
**[23:23] ---**
What are you talking about?
I'm asking about Rock!
**[23:26] ---**
You two were away together for so long.
You did do it this time, right?
**[23:32] ---**
I don't wanna say.
**[23:33] ---**
Huh?
**[23:38] ---**
When it comes to you.
**[23:41] ---**
Why don't you just die?
**[23:43] ---**
We villains don't die so easily. Bang.
