Oh, a tengu.

Someday the kids will move away...

Excuse me.
I had the accountants draw up some proposals
for how to make up the revenue.
If we implement these measures, we'll see a rise in profit
from all our concerns within a month.
This is not enough.
Not enough?
Forgive me, Oyabun, but I know the street.
Tozawa's still importing shabu
and gaining a foothold in our territory.
You're out of line.
Be quiet.
Go on.
We need to expand. Innovate.
What do you suggest?
That we take a page out of Tozawa's book?
That's not what I'm talking about.
Invade other territories, risk open war?

Hi. Thanks for letting me
sleep here. - Of course.
No, I didn't wake you up this morning.
I figured maybe you needed the rest.
Here's a coffee. And I got some bread.
Anything on Pol?
So I went to the Meicho.
I spoke to the guy who covers Yoshino
and all the little towns in that area.
And they have not seen or heard of any gaijin, any foreigners.
So I think we should file a missing persons report.
Mm. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great idea.
That is a fucking brilliant plan.
You know, the Japanese police department,
they love to waste their whole fucking day
looking for a gaijin girl who skipped out on her debts.
Is there any way that Polina just went home?
No. She didn't go home.
Why? Are you sure?
I'm fucking sure.
Don't ask stupid fucking questions.
- Okay. - Sorry.
I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay. - You want to smoke?
Listen, Pol's my best friend,
but she's so openhearted.
She's very trusting. She trusts people way too much.
She's so agreeable.
One night I was at Onyx, and I was feeling really shitty
and she came over to me and ended up taking me
to her favorite place in Tokyo and--
- The shrine? - Yeah.
See? That's what I'm talking about.
Where did you hear about Yoshino?
The tip about Yoshino.
The host club that she owes money to.
Okay. So we go back there.
We see what else we can get out of them.
No, no. Sato got it out of them.
And it turns out that the club's in deep

- Tozawa? - Yeah. And Sato got spooked.
So he'll never go back there.
Wait. Okay. So this is great.
If Yoshino has anything to do with Tozawa's operations,
I know a guy who knows
more about Tozawa's operations than anybody.
Okay. That's great. Let's talk to them.
