Adventure
On Christmas Eve, the group discovers a baby in the trash. Gin believes they should take the baby to the police, but Hana thinks they should look for the parents. Gin informs Hana about his family, but added that they were sick and Gin needed money for medicine. A con man helped him into a scheme by throwing a bicycle race, but the scandal was discovered, so Gin left his family to die. The next day, the group finds a yanka, a high ranking of the Japanese mafia, trapped underneath his car. After freeing him, he takes them to his daughter's wedding parrty, but Gin discovers that the groom is the con man. Gin is angry at first, but then, a Hispanic hit-man shoots at the groom, and Gin checks with the groom, but goes after the hit-man. The hit-man takes Miyuki and Kiyoko the baby as hostages and they flee. Gin then argues with Hana about what they should do; Gin says they should call the police, but Hana states that it will take too long, and he goes off to find the girls. Gin wonders in the streets and discovers a dying, elderly homeless man and Gin takes him to his tent and the man dies. Gin is then attacked by a group of teens, as a form of "clean-up", and they leave him, battered and bruised.
