Things have changed, Katagiri tells Ishida with a cold, Eastwood-like rasp.
Two men from Chihara-kai remain in custody from Katagiri and Nagatas first raid, and they arent going anywhere.
Ishida-san, you are one of the few honorable ones, says Katagiri.
I do not wish to see you end up in prison.
This is a different world now.
It is time to shut down Chiharai-kai; get out while the gettings good.
You misunderstand your own country, Ishida retorts.
Society runs smoothly because, underneath it, we hold back the chaos.
There is no Japan without yakuza.
Both men are half-right here.
Katagiris spitting facts about the violent realignment around the corner.
But Ishidas bearing some old-guard wisdom.

Honor demands you must choose.
Are you with him, or are you with me?
Ishida requests a one-on-one, and everyone else bolts.
Ishida forcefully argues for setting aside grievances, but maintaining order is the last thing on Tozawas agenda.
Hes an unstoppable force heading toward a teetering monument.
Ishidas seen it all and surely his fair share of young upstarts bucking for the throne over the years.

So Jake catches Katagiri in the police station parking garage and has his first run-in with Nagatas strong arm.
Thats where Jake finds out Tozawas back, like a new man and everything.
I wont go back to my old life, Misaki tells him.
Ill see you soon.
And with that, shes gone as quickly as she arrived.
The urgency of the situation couldnt be more apparent.
But Jakes reporter brain is already moving, hot on the enemys trail.
The city is moving to a dangerous new rhythm Jake hadnt been hip to the day before.
Kaito told me of your … kindness.
Now Hayamas returning his plea to leave Kaito alone with another fiendish taunt.
Tell your mother, he says, Ill take care of him.
A new keeper of the old guard, Hayama will not be.
For both Samantha and Jake, the night ends on the same resounding oh fuck note.
The little heist is a success until Ohno notices his bag has been left unclasped.
Samantha, if you make a deal with Oyabun, you must deliver, Sato had told her.
If you fail, Im not sure I can help you.
If she didnt have her wheelin and dealin work cut out for her before, she sure does now.
Back in the city, Jake tails Tozawa to a meeting with Chairman Nakahara.
But Tozawas more in the manifest your place mood these days.
He knows word will get out about this, and fast.
Hes counting on it.
None of them could have started it.
Baku tells her to drop it.
Hell have the paper investigate discreetly.
Thanks for letting him know, etc.
Not sus at all, bro.
Tokyo Vicecontinues to provide a well of pop-anthropological character work.
Take Trendys night out with Jason from the U.S. Embassy.
We dont discuss personal matters here, Trendy explains.
Jason makes a very American-sounding case for living life completely outside the closet.
All life should be lived on a wide-open plain, all out in the open.
