Young Yakuza Page #4

as they don't get paid.

And the hierarchy is very strict.

So, we have to reflect on how

we can provide hope and dreams

for the youth of today.

It's a real problem for us.

Summer days

Time goes by slowly

They are far away

Those summer holidays

We are still waiting

For in our hearts

Summer days

Time goes by slowly

They are far away

Those carefree summer days of youth

Buried in our memories

The blinding light burns you

The burning sun

Gets hotter every day

Soaring temperatures

No pity

I don't care about

The tropical sun

And everyone hopes

For a midsummer's dream

Nothing around me

Lights my fire

Just waiting in silence

For the end of this lonely summer

Sounds and images

Bring back old memories

To haunt me

When I was a kid

I ran barefoot

Happy without a care

In the hot days

That summer won't be back

You grow up

The summer holidays are over...

There they are!

I have them!

He found them.

Thank you.

"Mu":
nothing

There have been

some changes in the clan.

Up until now,

I was an executive,

in other words,

I had a management job.

I've always moved up

and it happened quite rapidly.

But with these changes,

I've lost my position

and now I'm nothing.

Of course...

the reason I've lost everything,

is because...

of the position I took

that put my job on the line.

I am paying the consequences.

I was an executive and...

I lost everything.

I am nothing now.

I have a clan,

I have men.

I want to start

from scratch with them and rebuild.

Perseverance

Father ToccoIi, thank you

so much for praying for me.

Tell me, you applied

to become my secretary,

didn't you?

When one is a man,

one has to move on.

The clan leaders discussed

your application

and the deputy director

told me about it.

I answered that

if you were really serious,

if you were prepared

to take on the role,

then I agreed.

I accept your application.

Yes, boss.

So I'm asking you

to become my secretary.

Good, boss.

Now that you are my secretary,

you see nothing,

you hear nothing, you say nothing.

I wanted you to know.

I'm counting on you

to be a good secretary.

Thank you, boss.

- I'm back.

- Hi.

The fridge is empty.

Have a rest.

What are you doing?

That's enough, Takahashi.

- Please.

- You don't have to!

I heard you answering the phone.

It wasn't bad.

But you are answering

as my secretary.

You need to be more

sure of yourself,

and you calmly ask

the caller:

"Who is speaking?"

If you are asked:

"Are you Mr. Kumagai's secretary?"

You answer confidently:

"Yes, that is the case."

You have a Kansai accent.

There is no need to hide it.

Speak normally.

Be natural and use your own words.

Be sure of yourself.

I'm counting on you.

If today...

a young guy came to the door

and joined the Kumagai-gumi,

I don't think I would change much

in my way of working.

Maybe I would change one thing.

Up until now, I must admit

that I have rarely put myself

in their place,

even though I was once young myself.

I acted without thinking about them.

As a river flows downstream,

I thought it normal

that decisions came down from the top.

I have to change that.

I think we need to give young people

hopes and dreams

for them to follow.

That is the problem

I face today.

It's not like the old days.

But like I said before,

as clan leader,

It's up to me to make the decisions

and I have to make

all my men follow me

without question.

At the same time,

I need to show my affection.

It is in that spirit

that I wish to run my clan.

That is what I must do.

Oh!

I shouldn't say "Oh!"

but "Hey!".

Otherwise, no one will come.

Hey!

- Bring me some tea.

- Yes, boss.

Size XL,

that should fit him, no?

We should get him

warm trousers.

- What about the top?

- A long-sleeved t-shirt.

It's better to open them.

It's a real shame about Ikeda.

When you're secretary,

you should avoid hurting people.

How long has he been secretary?

Three months, I think.

Is that all?

I thought it had been

longer than that.

It's such a shame.

He shouldn't have...

Well, it's hard to say.

We weren't there.

It was a personal thing?

Yes, I think so.

But we don't know.

Did the guy

get out of hospital?

I don't know.

Anyway, I think he went over the top.

It's such a pity.

Let's hope he gets out

as soon as possible.

It won't be before

the end of the year.

And now it's cold.

He'll be fine with this!

Trousers, t-shirts...

He'll be prepared for the cold.

Well, let's go?

No Parking

Boss, Ikeda was caught

in the act by the cops.

But what exactly happened,

according to him?

He told me

that a fight broke out

between him and the victim.

But he says...

that the victim started the fight.

He knows that...

as he belongs

to a criminal organisation,

he must not attack civilians,

or be violent towards them.

But the problem is that the victim

was badly injured

and he's currently in hospital.

Ikeda injured the other party,

that's a fact.

So there will be damages.

Counsellor, do you think

that the detention period

will be lengthened

and that there will be a court case?

There's a 99% chance, yes.

Because he's a yakuza.

And of course, because of

the seriousness of the injuries.

Had the guilty party been

a respectable person,

in other words, not a yakuza...

for this type of misdemeanour,

he might just have had

to pay a fine.

Things would have stopped there.

But Ikeda has a 99% chance

of going to court.

Of course, Ikeda did hurt this man,

and he's a yakuza.

But did he overtly show

that he's a yakuza?

Did he mention the clan's name,

during the altercation?

No, not at all.

It seems to me

that the fact that he didn't admit

to being a yakuza

is an important detail.

There's another problem.

He has a criminal record.

A criminal record?

- He was on parole.

- When he was younger?

No, recently.

For a misdemeanour he committed

before joining the clan.

What did he do?

Obstructing a public officer.

He spent a year in prison

and had a 3 or 4 year

suspended sentence.

So he's currently on parole.

He's on parole?

I didn't know that.

Is that all?

He also has an assault

and battery conviction,

but he just got a fine.

So he's a repeat offender?

And this could have

a serious effect

on the sentence this time.

As you know, I work hard

to educate my younger men.

But they don't always obey.

If we're talking numbers,

day 1 corresponds

to the day he was arrested,

and day 22, to the end

of his remand period.

I think it all depends on

what we do during this period.

I heard from deputy director

that one of your men was arrested.

I hate to bother you...

What's the problem?

Tomaru, my cadet.

The one with the glasses,

who lost them at the barbecue?

Yes, exactly.

What's this

about attempted racketeering?

There's a petrol station

he's always gone to.

One of the girls there...

got pregnant.

But the man she was seeing

did not accept his responsibility.

She called and called,

but he didn't want to know.
