Young Yakuza

en
00:00:03 there were 86 301 Yakuzas in Japan,
00:00:06 spread over a number
00:00:10 Yakuza is a
00:00:13 Literally ya-ku-za means
00:00:37 So, how is your son
00:00:41 At the moment, he's at home.
00:00:46 But I did want to
00:00:51 I thought so.
00:00:54 In trouble again?
00:00:57 He's always in trouble.
00:01:00 The police keep calling.
00:01:03 I don't know what to do.
00:01:06 He doesn't even have a job?
00:01:09 No, he does nothing all day.
00:01:14 Here's what I propose...
00:01:19 You may think it odd but,
00:01:26 He's a yakuza, no?
00:01:29 Yes, he is.
00:01:32 No, I don't want that.
00:01:34 If it were another
00:01:37 I would never have
00:01:40 But everyone knows
00:01:43 We've all known him forever,
00:01:47 we know how he climbed
00:01:52 You can't go wrong.
00:01:56 But I could never admit
00:02:02 or the people I know.
00:02:06 The yakuza world
00:02:09 where he can learn
00:02:15 Then he can decide
00:02:18 He's no longer a child.
00:02:21 He can decide himself
00:02:26 In any case, this apprenticeship
00:02:31 It goes by quickly.
00:02:33 I would never do anything
00:02:37 without your permission.
00:02:42 But if you wish,
00:03:10 - I'll go.
00:03:20 May we come in?
00:03:23 Please excuse me.
00:03:32 This is Naoki, Mrs. Watanabe's son.
00:03:37 Delighted.
00:03:40 Sit down.
00:03:50 He told me about you.
00:03:53 You know your mother, you and I,
00:03:58 are all from the same neighbourhood.
00:04:01 It's as if we were
00:04:06 But tell me,
00:04:13 To be honest...
00:04:16 I don't really know any yakuzas.
00:04:21 I have friends who are familiar
00:04:25 with yakuzas from films or books.
00:04:30 But I'm not really.
00:04:32 Until now, I know
00:04:38 At the moment,
00:04:42 I don't have a steady job.
00:04:44 I do nothing all day.
00:04:49 I spoke with M. Imai
00:04:53 who said this was
00:04:56 He advised me to come here
00:05:04 I was just thinking
00:05:08 I couldn't just go on
00:05:11 So, I thought that this was
00:05:19 During your apprenticeship,
00:05:22 you will see many things.
00:05:28 I am warning you,
00:05:31 they will not all be positive.
00:05:34 Human relations are
00:05:40 Of course,
00:05:44 and your first experience.
00:05:48 And everything you see,
00:05:52 every experience you have...
00:05:56 whether it is good or bad,
00:06:01 What you deem to be good,
00:06:06 and what you deem to be bad,
00:06:08 You will be your own judge.
00:06:12 Trust your instinct.
00:06:15 Good luck.
00:06:17 By the way, how old are you?
00:06:19 20.
00:06:21 20?
00:06:22 And that haircut is fashionable,
00:06:25 for young men of your age?
00:06:28 No, not really.
00:06:32 But I didn't have time
00:06:37 If you want to be
00:06:40 you need to be free to move.
00:06:45 You can't have messy hair.
00:06:50 You need to have short hair
00:06:55 Go to the barber tomorrow,
00:06:59 - Is that clear?
00:07:01 We will leave you now.
00:07:04 Goodbye.
00:07:05 - Good luck.
00:07:24 - How old are you?
00:07:27 You're so lucky!
00:07:28 - You think?
00:07:31 At 20, I was
00:07:34 Is that so?
00:07:35 What about you?
00:07:37 - Yes, when I was 16.
00:07:40 - Just for a day.
00:07:44 In fact, what happened was...
00:07:48 my friends absolutely
00:07:51 They kept bugging me...
00:07:56 I was going to say yes.
00:08:00 But then they wanted me
00:08:05 A perm?
00:08:07 I didn't want to.
00:08:09 I said if that was the condition,
00:08:13 And you left after one day?
00:08:22 Get changed. You can't wear
00:08:25 You wear this uniform.
00:08:36 "Please excuse me."
00:08:38 You have to bow low down.
00:08:41 Your arms by your sides,
00:08:47 "Please excuse me."
00:08:50 Again.
00:08:56 Yes, not too bad.
00:09:00 When you're leaving you say:
00:09:04 Yes, that's it.
00:09:06 In the morning, when the boss arrives:
00:09:11 "Good morning, boss."
00:09:15 In here, are the boss's
00:09:19 cups and glasses.
00:09:22 - All these?
00:09:27 Here, are the guest glasses,
00:09:30 the H.Q. chief's things.
00:09:35 Here, are the guest cups,
00:09:40 and here, are our ones.
00:09:42 And all the dishes above,
00:09:45 belong to the boss.
00:09:49 The shibori below right
00:09:53 Those are for the deputy chief,
00:09:56 Here, there are less than usual.
00:10:00 That's the boss's kettle.
00:10:03 This one is for us.
00:10:07 - Be very careful.
00:10:09 That's the boss's fridge.
00:10:12 Everything in there,
00:10:18 Can you get me a coaster?
00:10:34 Is there a special way
00:10:36 Yes.
00:10:41 We'll go in together.
00:10:49 "Please excuse me."
00:10:53 First,
00:11:12 The name should be on this side.
00:11:16 - The name on the cup?
00:11:19 You place the shibori on the right.
00:11:21 Then you say:
00:12:05 - How old are you?
00:12:10 I'm only 20.
00:12:12 You look older.
00:12:14 I get that a lot.
00:12:17 You look much older.
00:12:19 Really?
00:12:21 That old?
00:12:28 - Have I met everyone yet?
00:12:31 It's stressful.
00:12:33 At the start, that's normal.
00:12:37 It's stressful.
00:12:41 Are there any scary ones?
00:12:43 Scary ones?
00:12:47 Really?
00:12:50 You'd think in a place like this,
00:12:54 - Really...
00:13:03 It happens in the dirty city
00:13:06 The concrete jungle
00:13:07 You wander, bad boy solitaire
00:13:09 Full of dreams
00:13:12 In a state
00:13:14 Freezing wind whips your cheeks
00:13:16 In this shitty town
00:13:19 You fight your demons
00:13:23 Life or death
00:13:25 Your life on the line
00:13:29 In this concrete valley
00:13:33 You lose your bet
00:13:35 It's a dead end
00:13:38 Left, right?
00:13:42 Dead or Alive
00:13:44 Wandering
00:13:47 Dead or Alive
00:13:49 Follow your path to get there...
00:14:01 Companies and businesses
00:14:05 "No entry
00:14:10 The police give them out.
00:14:14 The police bring together
00:14:19 They're doing it everywhere.
00:14:23 They organise meetings
00:14:26 in rented halls,
00:14:31 Anyway, it doesn't matter...
00:14:35 In these meetings,
00:14:38 the police...
00:14:42 give out information...
00:14:46 on the clans operating
00:14:54 In addition...
00:14:57 the police give instructions
00:15:01 They tell them
00:15:03 to the demands
00:15:08 I think they give people
00:15:13 lots of information
00:15:16 they wouldn't normally have.
00:15:20 The first time I saw that,
00:15:23 I was raging.
00:15:26 I thought:
00:15:30 Now, I don't even
00:15:35 They made these stickers,
00:15:41 they stick them up
00:15:47 Let them!
00:15:49 We'll find other ways
00:16:05 The first time I came
00:16:10 I must have been 9 years old.
00:16:14 This shopping mall
00:16:17 in all of Shinagawa.
00:16:21 At the time,
00:16:24 I lived in Oimachi with my family.
00:16:27 I remember
00:16:30 we would come here by train
00:16:35 to do our shopping.
00:16:38 I would never have thought
00:16:44 I would be the boss here.
00:16:50 Your tea.
00:17:46 Excuse the interruption.
00:17:52 Given his position
00:17:58 he can't come to see me
00:18:02 to talk about his future.
00:18:05 I must make the first move.
00:18:12 I'll choose the right time.
00:18:22 It doesn't seem like it,
00:18:28 but when I'm in the office,
00:18:31 I watch the young guys myself.
00:18:36 It's stinging my eyes!
00:18:45 Ikeda-san, you have a tattoo?
00:18:47 Yes.
00:18:49 What's it like?
00:18:53 Like that?
00:18:54 No, mine isn't finished.
00:18:57 Only the outline.
00:18:59 It's crazy to be so tattooed.
00:19:02 It's cool.
00:19:06 It's really cool.
00:19:08 - Do they mean something?
00:19:11 Everyone here has a tattoo?
00:19:13 Yes, quite a few.
00:19:15 Do you want
00:19:17 I don't know yet.
00:19:21 I have a small one.
00:19:23 - A western one?
00:19:35 Please excuse me.
00:19:59 That will be all.
00:20:02 That's fine.
00:20:13 According to my philosophy
00:20:18 and that of my clan,
00:20:22 there's no point
00:20:26 If a young guy wants to leave,
00:20:29 it means he has his
00:20:32 Sometimes, I ask them
00:20:37 It depends on the person.
00:20:43 In fact, it depends
00:20:46 on his behaviour.
00:20:49 If it's a young guy who has
00:20:53 who made a real effort,
00:20:59 If he's sure, I accept.
00:21:01 But in that case,
00:21:06 I give him the conditions
00:21:11 and he must disappear.
00:21:13 He must never use the clan's name,
00:21:17 and never say he was in the clan.
00:21:23 It depends on the clan
00:21:26 but I think there's no point
00:21:32 That's my philosophy
00:21:42 Before, the custom was to
00:21:47 But if a yakuza
00:21:49 he wouldn't be able to
00:21:53 If he's missing a finger,
00:21:56 he will have problems
00:21:59 I do not follow this practice.
00:22:01 But I order the man to
00:22:07 Even to forget the name Kumagai.
00:22:10 Not to regret his choice.
00:22:14 And never to look back.
00:22:17 If he is ready to accept
00:22:22 He must never pronounce
00:22:27 And leave the neighbourhood.
00:22:30 Those are the rules to be respected.
00:22:33 Compared to before,
00:23:04 Head into town
00:23:06 Concrete walls bar your way
00:23:09 Jump straight in
00:23:11 Follow your path
00:23:16 Yo mother fuckin' Tokyo
00:23:19 To the end of the world
00:23:22 Let's go...
00:23:34 Hello everyone.
00:23:36 We'll start with
00:23:41 To begin the New Year cleanly,
00:23:46 and enable our boss
00:23:48 to work well,
00:23:53 I will ask that you work hard
00:23:56 Tomaru, Katsuhisa and Naoki,
00:24:00 Someya, Shiraishi, Harada and Takagi,
00:24:04 do the living room.
00:24:06 Shimoda, Nakahara and Kobayashi,
00:24:11 I want everything clean.
00:24:33 Hey, Kosuke,
00:24:35 do you have posters at home?
00:24:39 Before yes, but not anymore.
00:24:45 That's not really a poster...
00:24:49 But usually,
00:24:54 It's unusual to put
00:24:59 Well, I think so...
00:25:05 But in the offices of the other clans,
00:25:10 Would you like
00:25:12 Become like him...
00:26:04 Kumagai-gumi New Year's party
00:26:09 I am Takashima.
00:26:10 Next year,
00:26:19 I am Sato.
00:26:25 I am Someya.
00:26:27 I will endeavour to take
00:26:39 You may talk among yourselves.
00:26:49 I now hand you over
00:26:50 to M. Hideyuki Ishii of Kumagai-gumi.
00:27:01 It's been a busy year,
00:27:04 and we thank the boss warmly
00:27:08 for the precious time
00:27:16 We will do three rounds of applause.
00:27:56 One of my men who was once
00:28:01 The judge asked his profession,
00:28:04 and he answered yakuza.
00:28:06 He was asked:
00:28:09 The term "yakuza"
00:28:13 but it is not listed
00:28:22 I was happy
00:28:26 In general, in court,
00:28:31 or that we are self-employed.
00:28:35 But when we say that, we get:
00:28:41 Why bother saving face?
00:28:43 It's no better to be
00:28:46 In that case,
00:28:48 you might as well tell the court
00:28:54 "I am a yakuza by trade."
00:28:59 The judge asked him: "What does
00:29:03 "Proving one's manhood."
00:29:05 "You can do that in other jobs",
00:29:08 I thought
00:29:13 Whatever our job.
00:29:16 But I would have liked to know
00:29:21 Our kind ignores the law,
00:29:26 or more precisely,
00:29:29 We watch society from the shadows.
00:29:33 Today, yakuzas
00:29:38 they can go on doing what they do.
00:29:42 We yakuzas
00:29:45 are now also involved
00:29:49 It has become more and more common
00:29:56 in our milieu.
00:29:58 Despite this, we are still living
00:30:03 a world of shadows.
00:30:07 And that world...
00:30:11 is still run by its own laws.
00:30:15 Even if national laws are getting
00:30:21 the rules of our society
00:30:25 There is an official society,
00:30:31 From the start of this film,
00:30:35 we agreed
00:30:38 what happens
00:31:15 I wish to begin the year
00:31:21 Year 18 of the Heisei era
00:31:25 begins today.
00:31:31 The situation is not good
00:31:35 that things are getting
00:31:41 But we, the members of
00:31:46 are convinced that
00:31:53 We will all give our
00:31:56 We rely on your advice
00:32:00 and your encouragement.
00:32:04 To finish up, let me wish you
00:32:08 January 1st,
00:32:12 New Year's greetings.
00:32:14 Chiyozo Ishii.
00:32:18 We rely on your goodness.
00:32:24 I'm counting on all of you
00:32:27 to take care of your health
00:32:31 and to do your best.
00:32:33 Come here!
00:32:35 From Aniki.
00:32:43 I'm counting on you.
00:33:03 Now the service men.
00:33:08 Thank you.
00:33:14 Excuse the interruption.
00:34:13 Outlook average
00:34:29 You're not eating
00:34:31 - Pass the meat.
00:34:35 Eat the sweet beans instead.
00:34:42 So?
00:34:43 - So?
00:34:46 - Are you happy with your life?
00:34:48 "Pfff"?
00:34:50 - Nothing new.
00:34:54 Housework.
00:34:57 What do you mean, housework?
00:34:59 Where do you clean?
00:35:00 What a question!
00:35:04 Where do you think?
00:35:06 You never cleaned here!
00:35:11 Well sometimes, at night.
00:35:15 I have no choice.
00:35:17 Are you any good?
00:35:26 I do the shopping.
00:35:29 I buy the food...
00:35:31 for the meals.
00:35:35 You cook?
00:35:39 What do you cook?
00:35:40 I don't do the main course.
00:35:44 I couldn't.
00:35:45 You've never cooked,
00:35:50 I cut my finger,
00:35:52 - How?
00:35:55 - Can you do that?
00:35:59 To the right, the one with the gun.
00:36:01 - The old bald guy?
00:36:05 Shhh, be quiet!
00:36:08 How cool!
00:36:10 - You really like Sho Aikawa?
00:36:13 - Really?
00:36:16 - I prefer Riki Takeuchi.
00:36:19 In yakuza movies,
00:36:21 there are never any office scenes.
00:36:25 Just one, in general.
00:36:28 What's a scene?
00:36:29 It's too hard to explain.
00:36:31 You know, there's often a scene
00:36:33 with someone who visits the boss.
00:36:40 But we don't see the yakuzas'
00:36:46 Well, I don't watch
00:36:50 I do.
00:36:51 What do you think?
00:36:54 It's true, you're right.
00:36:57 The action all happens outside...
00:37:11 Does it work?
00:37:14 Naoki, speak to check.
00:37:16 Hello?
00:37:17 Can you hear me?
00:37:18 Yes.
00:37:20 - So it's OK?
00:37:22 Thank you.
00:37:27 It's OK.
00:37:28 You all have one?
00:37:30 Yes, all the security guys.
00:37:33 - You too, one day, you'll have one.
00:37:36 - I'm off.
00:38:05 When we shot the scene
00:38:08 people thought I was an actor.
00:38:11 They asked for autographs.
00:38:15 I signed my name.
00:38:21 You know, Mum, it would be good
00:38:24 if we saw your face
00:38:35 Young people who join our milieu
00:38:40 are often in need of love.
00:38:45 More than a newfather,
00:38:47 what they look for
00:38:51 with whom they have no
00:38:55 is what they didn't get from
00:39:01 For them, we are
00:39:06 like substitution parents.
00:39:09 And in exchange for our affection,
00:39:14 the love we provide,
00:39:16 a feeling of devotion is created
00:39:19 that we call "giri".
00:39:29 Hello, boss.
00:39:37 The Godfather died on May 29th.
00:39:42 As a personal gesture,
00:39:45 on the 29th of each month.
00:39:52 This is a souvenir of the Godfather.
00:39:54 It belonged to him.
00:40:02 The Godfather was born...
00:40:06 in the year of the dragon.
00:40:08 He had a dragon motif
00:40:13 on this sweat suit.
00:40:16 I was given it after his death.
00:40:21 It goes together.
00:40:23 The Godfather was very elegant.
00:40:26 He was better built than me,
00:40:30 but seeing as I have the honour
00:40:34 I've already worn this sports gear,
00:40:42 These souvenirs are dear to me,
00:40:48 but this one...
00:40:53 When I became the "direct son"
00:41:00 It means a lot to me.
00:41:03 Of course, I am not alone.
00:41:06 All of the Godfather's "direct sons"
00:41:11 probably keep their cups carefully.
00:41:17 I imagine that the Godfather
00:41:21 is alive in all our hearts.
00:41:24 I'm sure of it.
00:41:27 In our milieu, it should be so.
00:41:34 When I became a yakuza,
00:41:37 I decided to leave my family,
00:41:41 I gave everything to
00:41:46 The fact of receiving souvenirs...
00:41:58 and keeping them carefully
00:42:03 reminds me of my real father
00:42:06 Even though I own nothing of his.
00:42:56 Thank you.
00:42:58 Thank each other.
00:43:29 It's full downstairs.
00:43:32 Will we tell them to come up?
00:43:36 Go open the door
00:44:05 It's busy.
00:44:08 It's full here.
00:44:13 Go to the foot of the stairs,
00:44:16 open the door and let people up.
00:45:10 Public baths
00:45:14 Hello.
00:45:16 Hello. It's been a while.
00:45:17 Thank you for having the boys.
00:45:20 You're welcome.
00:45:21 I should thank you
00:45:24 They are very happy.
00:45:26 Good.
00:45:28 - Do you have some time?
00:45:30 - Would you like some tea?
00:45:33 Things are bad
00:45:38 I even have time
00:45:41 The clients arrive a little later.
00:45:48 And don't your boys
00:45:51 You know, today,
00:45:55 Well, not all.
00:45:58 In any case,
00:46:06 Come back any time.
00:46:10 You are welcome.
00:46:13 The other day my son told me
00:46:17 he was doing the music for this film.
00:46:20 I really don't understand
00:46:25 They call it hip-hop
00:46:29 What is that music?
00:46:32 I understand.
00:46:47 The boss is leaving.
00:47:02 You realise a person counts
00:47:05 The day you lose them
00:47:07 I was working at fifteen
00:47:09 I took hits and I knew
00:47:12 He showed me the way
00:47:14 He didn't speak, stayed calm
00:47:17 Never easy answers
00:47:19 You had to wait
00:47:22 That was the man's pride
00:47:25 "One day, you'll understand"
00:47:27 He seemed to say
00:47:29 His huge shadow
00:47:32 Now I'm 22
00:47:36 My name is N.O.F.E.A.R
00:47:39 And I want to say
00:48:08 It's nice today.
00:48:12 It always rains
00:48:15 You know why?
00:48:16 According to the deputy director,
00:48:19 rain symbolises divine water.
00:48:22 The goddess Kannon-sama?
00:48:26 Maybe.
00:48:28 I don't know.
00:48:32 You think she does this
00:48:36 Perhaps...
00:48:38 I don't get it, I'm catholic.
00:49:02 It's about Naoki.
00:49:05 His uncle is not well,
00:49:08 I let him go an hour ago.
00:49:11 He'll keep in touch.
00:49:13 I gave him the day off.
00:49:16 Please excuse him.
00:49:19 It's a pity,
00:49:22 I wanted to bring him
00:49:27 Well, never mind.
00:49:28 I understand.
00:49:32 Yes, boss.
00:49:50 Hey! Which unit are you from?
00:49:54 They are 3rd grade students!
00:49:56 Right, left!
00:50:00 The local police can't handle it.
00:50:04 They've asked for back-up.
00:50:06 Really?
00:50:08 There are buses of riot police.
00:50:10 In any case, they're not funny.
00:50:14 If anything happens on the altar,
00:50:19 They're pretty rough.
00:50:21 They arrest people
00:50:48 You will now head
00:50:53 the 3rd district of Asakusa.
00:50:57 Good luck and be careful
00:51:00 that everything goes well.
00:52:37 Yo mother fuckin' Tokyo
00:52:40 To the end of the world
00:52:45 Let's go...
00:53:01 He's not here.
00:53:39 We're looking for Naoki
00:53:44 in the shopping neighbourhood.
00:53:53 We went to the pachinko,
00:53:55 we looked everywhere,
00:53:59 And the office?
00:54:02 He didn't come back to the office?
00:54:06 No?
00:54:08 I see.
00:54:10 Let us know
00:54:16 - He didn't come back?
00:54:19 Should we keep looking?
00:54:21 Why don't we check the bars?
00:54:48 I haven't seen Naoki
00:54:53 Is there a problem?
00:54:54 I'm sorry.
00:54:58 He was a good worker.
00:55:03 I don't know.
00:55:07 I see.
00:55:32 I don't understand.
00:55:35 He left without saying a word.
00:55:41 I don't get it.
00:55:44 He just left,
00:55:46 not a word.
00:55:55 I don't know...
00:55:59 When a young man takes off,
00:56:02 as we say in the milieu,
00:56:06 in other words, he disappears...
00:56:12 Of course,
00:56:15 if I think about it seriously,
00:56:18 I think there's no point
00:56:22 On the one hand,
00:56:27 At the same time, I feel like
00:56:31 maybe I didn't do
00:56:38 I do some soul searching
00:56:41 he chose to leave
00:56:46 while the others hang on
00:56:50 and do their best.
00:56:54 Rules are rules
00:56:59 So, you could think
00:57:03 but I believe this coldness
00:57:08 is necessary.
00:57:11 When a young guy leaves,
00:57:15 I have to think of the clan first.
00:57:20 A yakuza clan
00:57:26 I am in charge
00:57:30 Even if I don't do everything
00:57:34 I have to think of everyone.
00:57:41 As the boss,
00:57:43 I have to create
00:57:46 If I act too quickly
00:57:50 or if I am wrong
00:57:54 I have to make it right.
00:58:03 As for Naoki,
00:58:05 he was not an official member
00:58:11 His mother sent him
00:58:13 as she didn't know
00:58:17 That's how he ended up here.
00:58:20 He was never a clan member.
00:58:24 His mother was tearing her hair out,
00:58:29 and she asked me to step in.
00:58:34 I met his mother recently
00:58:38 to apologise.
00:58:41 I didn't manage to
00:58:46 when he was my responsibility.
00:58:50 Will he come back or not?
00:58:53 Truly, in this case,
00:59:00 He is part of this new generation.
00:59:08 They are another species.
00:59:12 Young people today have no reason
00:59:18 to be attracted to our milieu.
00:59:19 Here, they have no freedom.
00:59:24 Financially, it's not worth it
00:59:32 And the hierarchy is very strict.
00:59:38 So, we have to reflect on how
00:59:42 we can provide hope and dreams
00:59:46 for the youth of today.
00:59:48 It's a real problem for us.
01:00:08 Summer days
01:00:11 They are far away
01:00:13 Those summer holidays
01:00:16 We are still waiting
01:00:18 Summer days
01:00:22 They are far away
01:00:24 Those carefree summer days of youth
01:00:27 Buried in our memories
01:00:50 The blinding light burns you
01:00:53 The burning sun
01:00:55 Soaring temperatures
01:00:58 I don't care about
01:01:00 And everyone hopes
01:01:04 Nothing around me
01:01:06 Just waiting in silence
01:01:09 For the end of this lonely summer
01:01:35 Sounds and images
01:01:37 Bring back old memories
01:01:40 When I was a kid
01:01:42 Happy without a care
01:01:45 That summer won't be back
01:01:47 You grow up
01:02:31 There they are!
01:02:32 I have them!
01:02:35 He found them.
01:02:49 Thank you.
01:03:24 "Mu": nothing
01:04:06 There have been
01:04:11 Up until now,
01:04:14 I was an executive,
01:04:18 in other words,
01:04:20 I had a management job.
01:04:25 I've always moved up
01:04:30 But with these changes,
01:04:35 I've lost my position
01:04:44 Of course...
01:04:47 the reason I've lost everything,
01:04:54 is because...
01:05:01 of the position I took
01:05:05 that put my job on the line.
01:05:14 I am paying the consequences.
01:05:16 I was an executive and...
01:05:24 I lost everything.
01:05:28 I am nothing now.
01:05:35 I have a clan,
01:05:38 I have men.
01:05:40 I want to start
01:05:57 Perseverance
01:07:00 Father ToccoIi, thank you
01:07:16 Tell me, you applied
01:07:20 to become my secretary,
01:07:24 When one is a man,
01:07:27 The clan leaders discussed
01:07:32 and the deputy director
01:07:38 I answered that
01:07:41 if you were prepared
01:07:45 then I agreed.
01:07:48 I accept your application.
01:07:51 Yes, boss.
01:07:53 So I'm asking you
01:07:57 Good, boss.
01:07:59 Now that you are my secretary,
01:08:01 you see nothing,
01:08:04 I wanted you to know.
01:08:05 I'm counting on you
01:08:09 Thank you, boss.
01:08:35 - I'm back.
01:08:44 The fridge is empty.
01:08:50 Have a rest.
01:08:56 What are you doing?
01:08:58 That's enough, Takahashi.
01:09:01 - Please.
01:09:18 I heard you answering the phone.
01:09:22 It wasn't bad.
01:09:23 But you are answering
01:09:28 You need to be more
01:09:30 and you calmly ask
01:09:33 the caller:
01:09:36 "Who is speaking?"
01:09:38 If you are asked:
01:09:41 You answer confidently:
01:09:44 "Yes, that is the case."
01:09:48 You have a Kansai accent.
01:09:50 There is no need to hide it.
01:09:53 Speak normally.
01:09:56 Be natural and use your own words.
01:10:00 Be sure of yourself.
01:10:03 I'm counting on you.
01:10:13 If today...
01:10:18 a young guy came to the door
01:10:22 and joined the Kumagai-gumi,
01:10:28 I don't think I would change much
01:10:33 in my way of working.
01:10:34 Maybe I would change one thing.
01:10:41 Up until now, I must admit
01:10:45 that I have rarely put myself
01:10:49 even though I was once young myself.
01:10:56 I acted without thinking about them.
01:11:05 As a river flows downstream,
01:11:12 I thought it normal
01:11:15 that decisions came down from the top.
01:11:18 I have to change that.
01:11:24 I think we need to give young people
01:11:30 hopes and dreams
01:11:35 That is the problem
01:11:39 It's not like the old days.
01:11:43 But like I said before,
01:11:47 as clan leader,
01:11:48 It's up to me to make the decisions
01:11:53 and I have to make
01:11:57 all my men follow me
01:12:01 At the same time,
01:12:03 I need to show my affection.
01:12:07 It is in that spirit
01:12:10 that I wish to run my clan.
01:12:15 That is what I must do.
01:12:21 Oh!
01:12:34 I shouldn't say "Oh!"
01:12:36 Otherwise, no one will come.
01:12:41 Hey!
01:12:44 - Bring me some tea.
01:13:51 Size XL,
01:13:53 We should get him
01:14:00 - What about the top?
01:14:13 It's better to open them.
01:14:21 It's a real shame about Ikeda.
01:14:25 When you're secretary,
01:14:31 How long has he been secretary?
01:14:34 Three months, I think.
01:14:38 Is that all?
01:14:40 I thought it had been
01:14:42 It's such a shame.
01:14:45 He shouldn't have...
01:14:48 Well, it's hard to say.
01:14:52 It was a personal thing?
01:14:54 Yes, I think so.
01:14:57 But we don't know.
01:14:59 Did the guy
01:15:01 I don't know.
01:15:03 Anyway, I think he went over the top.
01:15:06 It's such a pity.
01:15:07 Let's hope he gets out
01:15:11 It won't be before
01:15:15 And now it's cold.
01:15:17 He'll be fine with this!
01:15:20 Trousers, t-shirts...
01:15:24 Well, let's go?
01:15:32 No Parking
01:15:47 Boss, Ikeda was caught
01:15:51 But what exactly happened,
01:15:58 He told me
01:16:02 that a fight broke out
01:16:07 But he says...
01:16:08 that the victim started the fight.
01:16:13 He knows that...
01:16:16 as he belongs
01:16:19 he must not attack civilians,
01:16:23 or be violent towards them.
01:16:27 But the problem is that the victim
01:16:31 was badly injured
01:16:34 and he's currently in hospital.
01:16:39 Ikeda injured the other party,
01:16:44 So there will be damages.
01:16:50 Counsellor, do you think
01:16:56 will be lengthened
01:16:58 and that there will be a court case?
01:17:03 There's a 99% chance, yes.
01:17:05 Because he's a yakuza.
01:17:08 And of course, because of
01:17:12 Had the guilty party been
01:17:15 in other words, not a yakuza...
01:17:17 for this type of misdemeanour,
01:17:20 he might just have had
01:17:24 Things would have stopped there.
01:17:26 But Ikeda has a 99% chance
01:17:33 Of course, Ikeda did hurt this man,
01:17:38 But did he overtly show
01:17:42 Did he mention the clan's name,
01:17:46 No, not at all.
01:17:48 It seems to me
01:17:50 that the fact that he didn't admit
01:17:54 is an important detail.
01:17:57 There's another problem.
01:18:02 A criminal record?
01:18:06 - He was on parole.
01:18:10 No, recently.
01:18:14 For a misdemeanour he committed
01:18:17 before joining the clan.
01:18:23 What did he do?
01:18:26 Obstructing a public officer.
01:18:29 He spent a year in prison
01:18:32 and had a 3 or 4 year
01:18:35 So he's currently on parole.
01:18:39 He's on parole?
01:18:43 I didn't know that.
01:18:46 Is that all?
01:18:47 He also has an assault
01:18:50 but he just got a fine.
01:18:53 So he's a repeat offender?
01:18:56 And this could have
01:19:01 on the sentence this time.
01:19:04 As you know, I work hard
01:19:09 But they don't always obey.
01:19:15 If we're talking numbers,
01:19:16 day 1 corresponds
01:19:20 and day 22, to the end
01:19:23 I think it all depends on
01:19:26 what we do during this period.
01:19:33 I heard from deputy director
01:19:37 that one of your men was arrested.
01:19:40 I hate to bother you...
01:19:42 What's the problem?
01:19:43 Tomaru, my cadet.
01:19:48 The one with the glasses,
01:19:53 Yes, exactly.
01:19:56 What's this
01:20:01 There's a petrol station
01:20:03 One of the girls there...
01:20:07 got pregnant.
01:20:10 But the man she was seeing
01:20:13 did not accept his responsibility.
01:20:16 She called and called,
01:20:19 So, she asked Tomaru for advice
01:20:22 as she often sees him
01:20:25 Tomaru went to talk to the guy
01:20:30 It's natural, as there are
01:20:35 The police arrested him on the spot
01:20:39 for attempted racketeering.
01:20:43 I am so sorry.
01:20:48 This affair could have
01:20:51 on the other young guys.
01:20:54 Right now,
01:20:56 everyone is worried
01:21:04 I know you, I know how much
01:21:09 But recently,
01:21:13 a number of our young guys
01:21:18 Even Ikeda was arrested
01:21:28 involved in an altercation
01:21:34 He's single.
01:21:39 When you have a family
01:21:42 things take on another dimension.
01:21:45 Does Tomaru have a family?
01:21:48 You know the situation.
01:21:51 And you're close to the young guys,
01:21:54 you have to tell them to be careful
01:21:58 not to be arrested for nothing.
01:22:05 She's here.
01:22:10 Are you OK?
01:22:13 Come in.
01:22:17 - This is for Tomaru's birthday?
01:22:20 - What is it?
01:22:23 Can I borrow it in the meantime?
01:22:26 - No way.
01:22:28 I want it to stay new.
01:22:31 - Can I help myself?
01:22:34 I hope he gets out.
01:22:36 - Are you seeing him Monday?
01:22:38 My men will go with you.
01:22:43 It's the case
01:22:49 And something to clean them.
01:22:54 So, how are you?
01:22:55 Same as ever, OK.
01:22:58 - What do you mean, same as ever?
01:23:01 Even without your man?
01:23:03 I'm just a little lonely.
01:23:05 You feel lonely?
01:23:06 She feels lonely.
01:23:09 Are you eating?
01:23:11 Yes, I'm eating.
01:23:12 - What are you having tonight?
01:23:16 You eat that on your own?
01:23:19 - You grill it?
01:23:21 Let him do it. He's a chef.
01:23:25 - Did you talk to the lawyer?
01:23:28 According to him, it's delicate
01:23:31 as Tomaru admitted openly
01:23:34 Initially,
01:23:38 the prosecutor asked
01:23:40 If there's a suspended sentence,
01:23:43 he will be sentenced immediately.
01:23:48 But because he said he was a yakuza
01:23:50 and he's my adopted son...
01:23:54 it could damage his chances.
01:24:00 We would love to help him,
01:24:03 Yes.
01:24:07 If this happened
01:24:09 he would be the one
01:24:12 He would never have been arrested.
01:24:14 We have to see if we appeal or not.
01:24:18 I need to talk to Aniki.
01:24:22 Whatever happens, this must not
01:24:31 Do you want to move in with us
01:24:35 - No, thank you.
01:24:40 She's refusing tactfully.
01:24:42 Not tactfully, but nicely.
01:24:52 I'm going to the prison.
01:24:54 Come in, please.
01:24:57 Mum, it's Hiro!
01:25:00 What brings you here?
01:25:02 I came to burn some incense
01:25:07 Can I come in?
01:25:09 - Did you remember the package?
01:25:15 May I?
01:25:39 - What time are you going for?
01:25:41 One thirty?
01:25:43 Did you come alone?
01:25:44 No.
01:25:46 Are my men with you?
01:25:49 I'll go out to them.
01:25:52 It's cold.
01:25:53 - Are you OK, holding up?
01:25:58 - And how's Tomaru?
01:26:00 - We went to see him, he was happy.
01:26:04 He was all smiles.
01:26:06 He's put on weight.
01:26:08 He seemed nice and warm,
01:26:10 Everyone's bringing
01:26:12 I hear he's getting tons.
01:26:15 Yes, every day.
01:26:17 He has spots all over his face.
01:26:21 It's disgusting!
01:26:23 It's because
01:26:26 Really?
01:26:30 Typical Tomaru. He's so funny.
01:26:33 I hope he gets out.
01:26:35 It's touch and go.
01:26:40 Tell him I'm really
01:26:43 Yes, I'll tell him.
01:26:46 Lay it on thick.
01:26:48 OK.
01:26:51 That's short.
01:26:52 8 mn alone,
01:26:55 is quite long, no?
01:26:57 There were three of us.
01:26:59 We had no time
01:27:04 I wanted to have a laugh with him.
01:27:07 We had a laugh.
01:27:09 But then,
01:27:10 I went serious,
01:27:14 I told him and the time flew.
01:27:17 What are you talking about so loudly?
01:27:20 About visiting Tomaru.
01:27:26 In any case,
01:27:27 it gives him time to think
01:27:29 and he seems fine.
01:27:35 He's thinking
01:27:39 Cakes.
01:27:42 And he has the best wishes
01:27:47 Bring him this package from them.
01:27:50 Fine.
01:27:50 Tell him not to get down.
01:27:53 And that you are the lonely one.
01:28:00 If I can. I only have 8 mn.
01:28:08 - I have everything.
01:28:11 Playboy,
01:28:14 Mapple
01:28:16 and Shukan Gendai.
01:28:18 - Will I put them in the bag?
01:28:27 Are you coming?
01:28:30 We'll wait here.
01:28:34 And you'll be more comfortable
01:28:37 OK.
01:28:40 See you later.
01:28:41 - Say hello from us.
01:29:07 This is the first time
01:29:14 Recently, the law has become
01:29:20 You've heard?
01:29:23 There's a new law.
01:29:25 When the police see
01:29:29 first, they are asked to split up.
01:29:33 If they don't obey,
01:29:36 they're arrested.
01:29:40 And then we are banned
01:29:44 from public places like hotels.
01:29:48 In other words,
01:29:53 more and more strict
01:29:59 You should be OK.
01:30:01 Me too, of course.
01:30:02 What do you think?
01:30:05 People don't know
01:30:08 I'm much more serious
01:30:14 I don't understand why
01:30:19 We are human beings.
01:30:20 Of course, we're not choir boys.
01:30:25 We do sometimes
01:30:30 Our species is shrinking
01:30:33 and the rope is tightening
01:30:37 When I was your age,
01:30:42 things were different.
01:30:45 At night, we used to
01:30:49 Shopkeepers and businesses
01:30:54 They were the good old days.
01:30:56 If there's one thing I regret,
01:30:59 it's that you never experienced that.
01:31:05 But even if times are hard today,
01:31:10 we have to get by.
01:31:14 The laws change
01:31:19 we need to find solutions.
01:31:23 How do you think
01:32:39 Hi, Naoki.
01:32:41 It's been a while.
01:32:43 - It's good to see you.
01:32:46 - You lost weight?
01:32:49 - 15 kg?
01:32:52 Was it tough on your nerves?
01:32:55 Thanks for coming out here.
01:32:57 I was worried about you.
01:33:00 - What about you?
01:33:03 - Will we go?
01:33:14 - Do you have any smokes?
01:33:19 - Is that tobacco?
01:33:23 You like smoking something else, no?
01:33:31 It's cold, huh?
01:33:34 Are you working at the moment?
01:33:37 Yes, with asbestos.
01:33:39 - Asbestos?
01:33:42 - Still risking your life.
01:33:44 I am covered from head to toe.
01:33:48 From head to toe?
01:33:52 I look like a cosmonaut.
01:33:55 Me too, but rapping at the same time.
01:33:59 Oh yeah, you're a rapper.
01:34:02 I work on a demolition site.
01:34:04 A bit like me then.
01:34:05 I hope to make a living from rap.
01:34:08 I hope for you.
01:34:11 But tell me,
01:34:14 since you left the Mafia,
01:34:20 you must feel freer?
01:34:24 Day to day.
01:34:25 Freer?
01:34:30 No one forced me
01:34:33 When you were in the Mafia?
01:34:34 Let's just say
01:34:40 To hang out with you,
01:34:44 And your mother?
01:34:51 What does she think?
01:34:55 She must have been worried.
01:35:01 Yeah, I'd say so.
01:35:03 I'm sure.
01:35:06 I'd imagine she's relieved
01:35:11 Until now,
01:35:19 But you experienced things
01:35:25 Maybe.
01:35:29 In any case,
01:35:35 In life, there are good
01:35:40 Maybe some day, another shock
01:35:44 Another shock...
01:35:47 Well, in that case...
01:35:51 it's a bit pretentious,
01:35:56 "The empire of beauty is greater
01:36:01 Some will understand.
01:36:03 "The empire of beauty is greater
01:36:08 Yeah, that's cool!
01:36:10 - Can I claim it?
01:36:13 - So, then you can't use it.
01:36:17 Because it's mine.
01:36:20 I'll have to ask permission.
01:36:24 Will we go?
01:36:30 You walk like a yakuza.
01:36:34 It's the Naoki style.
01:36:35 The Naoki style?
01:36:38 I'll do it.
01:36:40 Hey, take it easy!
01:36:43 It's as if I were saying:
01:36:50 Where were you anyway
01:37:02 The empire of beauty
01:37:06 Is greater
01:37:10 Than the moral world
01:37:12 The dream future is far away
01:37:14 Flee reality
01:37:17 To reject and flee everything
01:37:20 He had a dream but he lost
01:37:22 A denouement planned
01:37:28 The dawn of despair
01:37:33 A denouement planned
01:37:38 The dawn of despair
01:37:41 Night falls
01:37:43 He can't take it
01:37:46 He shrinks down
01:37:49 Just waiting for
01:37:51 Till he bleeds
01:37:54 Out of strength
01:37:57 "I'll show them!"
01:37:59 This type of phrase
01:38:02 He bravely faced
01:38:05 And many things happened
01:38:07 Was he wrong in the past?
01:38:11 Would he be shamed?
01:38:15 A denouement planned
01:38:18 Even in confusion
01:38:20 Give him the strength to go on
01:38:26 A denouement planned
01:38:31 The dawn of despair
01:38:36 A denouement planned
01:38:41 The dawn of despair
