Where?
Anywhere.
What's the point?
Not to be trapped.
You underestimate the trap, Mary.
One man. He must be good.
Then go get him.
That wouldn't be very sporting.
Seven years work by the finest engraver. Mass produced, sequentially numbered. The best there has ever been, Mr. Conklin.
I'm impressed. But let's use the short form. I'm looking for
Kobo... I know. He killed two of my partners. One in New York, one at the printing plant.
I took Kobo from the street. I gave him a home, a future... But my ways were too slow for him... I served seven years in prison for my boss when I was a young man. Kobo wouldn't serve seven minutes for his Oyabun. He was supposed to take over this syndicate when I retired.
I want him.
He'll be dealt with.
Our associates in New York were close to closing a deal with us.
The families who control the casinos?
Yes. Unlike our syndicates, your criminals don't understand the words 'honor' and 'duty'... We can't afford not to deal with them.
Imagine if your families could pay their gambling and drug debts with perfect counterfeit bought for cents on the dollar.
The Feds would be onto you in a month.
Not with these bills. And even if it only took them six months, do you know what our profit margin would be?
Why tell me this?
The other plate is currently in New York, in the hands of Kobo's man. Find it for me.
You trust me?
I'll pay you.
With these?
Swiss bank deposit. Gold bullion. Whatever you want. You know the city and the police.
If I say no?
You're smarter than Kobo. You know the price of deceit. Think about it.
I don't have to.
Good.
He'll find out you took me. I'm unprotected. He'll kill us. All of us. You don't stand a chance.
That wasn't our deal.
You want him dead too.
After a court convicts him. He belongs to me.
You lost a man we wanted for some time. It was very incompetent on your part, officer.
Incompetent is letting people waltz through a secure area wearing your uniforms, carrying official documents.
I want a gun.
It is not allowed.
We're police officers.
You're foreigners.
Work with me. I want your best detective.
Hey, inspector, I don't intend to take the rap for this.
Do you know what this is?
Could you fill me in?
Why don't you ask your chief detective?
Because I want you to tell me.
The young are eating the old, something that usually doesn't happen here.
Can we skip the poetry, inspector?
What's this?
Your visa has expired. Be on a plane in twentyfour hours or you will be deported.
While you were hanging out at the visa office, we found the sonofa bitch.
Look.
Hey...! HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU, INSPECTOR!
Twentyfour hours, detective.
Your plane leaves at six. Two officers will escort you.
For God's sake, Ohashi, I need your help. Let me out of here!
You had my help, detective.
If anything happens to her while I'm here
Do you know where she is, detective? Do you know how to find her? Even where to start? We will find them.
I have to get to Sugai.
Goodbye, officer.
How big a package we talking about?
This by this...
Dope?
Not in that company.
The old man was a Japanese paper manufacturer. Hotel room and rental car were full of it.
One guy do all the damage?
Yeah.
Thought you knew your way around dark alleys, detective.
Doesn't speak a word of English. And he won't speak Japanese either. No papers. The Japanese embassy is very interested.
Why?
He's wanted in Japan. They want him first. Then we can have him.
What?
You and Charlie are taking the Jap home, tonight.
What...? What if I say no?
Check your gun before you leave. They're not allowed in Japan. It's a nice, safe country.
Why me?
They said send a detective if I could spare one. I can always spare you.
It's not your job.
He was my partner.
They're blaming it on you. Christ, Conklin, you didn't even tell me you lost the prisoner!
I planned on catching him, Captain.
How? You don't know the place. You don't know the language. Get on the plane.
He killed a police officer.
Your plane's at nine a.m. Be on it. That's orders. Period.
... Remember, counterfeiting is the Feds. They'll be all over Abolofia's place. Stick tight. You I.D. the other plate, he does real time.
Right.
Keep the change.
I'm taking you back.
Ugly... A couple of thousand years they've been bound by these little rules. Looking in. Always afraid. Ugly little lives...
Save it, I already took the tour.
You are a lucky man. Where you come from a man can stand out. It's expected. Here a man is made to look a fool for standing out.
I like your friend, Joyce. You're lucky.
Guess I'm on a roll.
She's such a long way home for you.
Time, I've got plenty of.
This is my stop.
I'm amused.
Don't be.
Sugai won't give it to me, you know that.
