Its three months later onTokyo Vice.
And all is about as calm as ever for our ragtag Tokyo underground operators.
Tozawa is nowhere to be seen or heard from.
Samanthas newly minted Club Polina has been open for a month without incident.
Jake is off yakuza stuff and crushing it with other news stories at Meicho.
Sato is healed and thriving as Ishidas No.
2 at Chihara-kai.Everythings coming up Milhouse, as we say in my household.
The trouble starts at Club Polina when Samantha catches her highest-earning hostess, Claudine, stealing from the club.
You know who owns half the club, Samantha tells Claudine.
You cannot steal their money and go set up shop somewhere else.
Ones a dead body found the night before in a pawn shop.
Police think hes a yakuza.
She begrudgingly gives him a name and number.
Jake also checks in on his old pal Katagiri.
Over coffee in the park, Jake asks if theres any word from Tozawa.
Nothing, other than he was trying to go to the United States, last hed heard.
Later, back at the station, Katagiri gets a meeting request from the National Police Agency.
Theres a new deputy superintendent in town, and shes ready to bash heads and take yakuza names.
Nagata (Miki Maya) cuts to the chase.
I hear no one knows the yakuza better than you.
She also knows of Katagiris keep the balance approach and thinks its bullshit.
Shes more of a strong-arm-of-the-law-key in operator.
Fine with her if the yakuza escalate their internal conflicts and kill each other in the streets.
Besides, Nagata has the go-ahead to build a new task force to combat organized crime in Tokyo.
Smash the yakuza in this city once and for all.
They both know something has to give if they want to raise their family in peace.
Parts are worth more than bikes.
So, every bike is an organ donor.
The follies of the legit market beget the dark one.
Meicho has covered Bosozoku plenty before, but never with this much access.
The focus will be these kids, pleads Emi.
Fallen through the cracks.
Baku gives them the go ahead to move on it.
Id rather get high, fuck girls, and steal bikes than live like normal people, Tats says.
If I steal enough bikes, I can pay for my sister to get a spot in private school.
Get her out of here.
From the get-go, Hayamas nothing but dagger eyes at Sato.
Look at you, he taunts Sato outside the club.
So worried theyre gonna retaliate.
I fucking hope they do!
I look forward to it.
This is where Sato knows theres going to be plenty of trouble ahead with this guy at the wheel.
It might be time to go behind Ishidas back and buy a gun.
Back at Club Polina, things are pretty up and down as well.
Good for business, but a little too involved for our girl.
Is this a rebellion against society, or is it a cry for help?
Jake writes in his biker-gang article when he gets a call from Misaki.
She hasnt heard from Tozawa in months, and his men are no longer concerned with her.
So we fuckin or …?
We all agree that its unbelievably dumb of Jake to do this, right?
Off The Record
Satos father has passed.
He remains estranged from his mother, but hes opened back up to his brother Kaito.
A skim through theBosozokubiker gangs Wikipedia page proves worthwhile supplemental material.
Some gangs have membership fees and ritual punishments.
You know theyre still rocking the drip, though.
She remains my sister in the ranks of LDS AWOLs.
Hayama immediately presents himself as a diabolical foil for Sato.
Perhaps a little too conveniently so, if not for the insatiable pull of Kubozukas performance.
He brings an unpredictable energy to Chihara-kais otherwise stable collective aura.
The kind of cast expansions you want from any top-notch stylized procedural, season to season.
