[STATIC]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[DISPATCH]
HEY, SHERIFF.
DO YOU COPY?

YES, I COPY.

FALL ASLEEP OVER THERE?

[DISPATCH]

[CAR DOOR SLAMS]

HEY!

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[BEEPING]

HOW'S HE DOING?

WELL, HE'S GOT
A CONCUSSION

AND SOME REALLY NASTY
CUTS AND BRUISES,

BUT HE'LL BE OKAY.
WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE?

CAN I TALK TO HIM?

WELL, NO.
HE'S STILL ASLEEP.

CALL ME
WHEN HE WAKES UP?

YEAH. SURE,
SHERIFF. YEAH.

THANKS.

[SEAGULLS CRYING]

[MIXED VOICES]

CHECKING IN?

DO YOU HAVE
A RESERVATION?

NO.

[MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[PHONE RINGING]

[WOMAN]
HELLO.

[MAN CALLING]

[LAUGHING]

[WAVES CRASHING]

-WHISKEY SOUR.
-WHISKEY SOUR.

CURE FOR THE
COMMON JET LAG.

LOOKS LIKE YOU
MADE A FRIEND.

WHAT?

YOU'LL FIND OUT
IN FIVE, FOUR,

THREE, TWO...

I SAW YOU LOOKING
AT ME OR LOOKING-

TOKYO.

[MACHINERY WHIRRING]

[RADIO CRACKLING]

FIND IT?

[MAN ON RADIO]
THINK SO. THERE'S SOME BLOOD.
HOW FAR AM I, 30 YARDS?

CLOSER TO 50.
DON'T STEP ON ANYTHING.

I'VE GOT
TO TAKE PICTURES.

TERESA!
IT'S THE HOSPITAL.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON
THAT TALKED TO HIM?

WELL, NOBODY.

AS YOU SAW, HE DIDN'T HAVE
ANY I.D. ON HIM.

SO, IS HE IN SOME KIND
OF TROUBLE THEN?

MAYBE.

ANY PATIENTS MISSING
THEIR CLOTHES?

[DOCTOR]
I CAN CHECK.

[TERESA]
YOU KNOW, DAD,

CHECKING OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL IS NOT A CRIME.

[SHERIFF]
YEAH, I KNOW.

THEN WHAT WILL YOU
DO IF YOU FIND HIM?

ASK HIM A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS,

FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO HIM.

I CAN TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

NO, NO, NO. SOMEBODY
BEAT THAT GUY UP

AND LEFT HIM FOR DEAD
LONG BEFORE I CAME ALONG.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

YOU SEE THOSE
CLOTHES IN THERE,

ALL SHREDDED TO HELL?
I DIDN'T DO THAT.

OH, SO YOU DON'T FEEL
BAD ABOUT HITTING HIM.

OF COURSE, I DO,

BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO DO, ARREST MYSELF?

NO. I JUST DON'T THINK
YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE

RUNNING
THE INVESTIGATION.

SO, YOU WANT IT?

[DOCTOR]
SHERIFF?

IT'S YOUR SHOW, DEPUTY.

-DID YOU FIND ANYTHING HERE?
-THE DRAWER'S EMPTY.

[TERESA]
WHAT IF IT WAS
A GETAWAY VEHICLE?

[SHERIFF]
THE TOWN CAR?

[TERESA]
YEAH. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

GETAWAY FROM WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

THE RUNNING MAN
AND A BUDDY,

THEY'RE ON THEIR
WAY SOMEWHERE.

THERE'S AN ARGUMENT,
THINGS GET PHYSICAL, BOOM!

THE RUNNING MAN IS FOUND
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

IT DOESN'T WORK.

WHY NOT?

HIS BUDDY WENT
OUT ON FOOT?

CHECK ON
THE REGISTRATION?

IT BELONGS TO
THE LUFT FOUNDATION.

I TALKED TO
THEIR SECURITY GUARD,

AND HE SAID
THE CAR WAS STOLEN
RIGHT OFF THE PROPERTY.

THEY DIDN'T REPORT IT?

THEY NEVER REALIZED IT
WAS GONE UNTIL I CALLED.

DID YOU SHOW HIM
THE WHATNOT?

YEAH. HE DOESN'T
KNOW THE GUY.

[STORE OWNER]
SORRY TO KEEP YOU
WAITING, PAUL.

I HAD TO MAKE A LONG-DISTANCE
CALL, VERY LONG DISTANCE.

[SHERIFF]
OH, YEAH?

[STORE OWNER]
MADE IN JAPAN,
AS IT TURNS OUT.

NEVER SOLD IN THE U.S.

25 YEARS OLD.

WORTH ANY MONEY?

[CLOCK SELLER]
SURE, 15 BUCKS.

AS LONG AS
I'VE GOT YOU HERE,

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

SO?

SO, WHAT?

SO, WHAT SHOULD
I DO NEXT?

TAKE THIS AND PUT IT UP
EVERYWHERE YOU CAN.

DONE. WHAT ELSE?

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
TO DO, REALLY.

WAIT AND SEE
WHAT TURNS UP.

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S IT!

[LAUGHS]

I BET YOU SPEAK PERFECT
ENGLISH, TOO, RIGHT?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[KNOCKING]

[AKI]

I HAVE YOUR DRY CLEANING.

[AKI]
WRONG ROOM.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[MAN]
CAN I HELP YOU?

UM, YES. UH,
CAN YOU CONNECT ME

TO MR. SUZUKI'S
ROOM, PLEASE?

MR. SUZUKI CHECKED
OUT YESTERDAY.

HE WAS JUST HERE.
YOU DIDN'T SEE HIM?

I CAME ON
A HALF-HOUR AGO.

[GARGLING]
[ PHONE RINGING]

[SPITS]

HELLO.

[MAN ON PHONE]
I THINK WE MAY HAVE
FOUND YOUR RUNNING MAN.

OH. DID YOU CALL TERESA?

I TOLD HER SHE COULD
HAVE THIS ONE.

[MAN ON PHONE]
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO WANT
TO TAKE THIS ONE YOURSELF.

RIGHT OVER HERE,
SHERIFF.

IS THAT YOUR GUY,
SHERIFF?

[MAN ON PHONE]
WELL, WHOEVER HE WAS,
HE WAS DEAD BEFORE HE WENT

IN THE WATER. WE'LL
RUN THE FINGERPRINTS
AND LET YOU KNOW.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

[SHERIFF]
OKAY, YOU ALL KNOW
WHAT TO DO.

LET'S GET AT IT.

HOW IT GOING?

IT'S OKAY. THEORETICALLY,

IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE
TO DUMP A BODY.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING
TO MEET THE RUNNING MAN.

HERE. IT'S RIGHT ON THE WAY.

LET'S NOT GET
AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

YOU THINK
IT'S A COINCIDENCE?

NO, I JUST THINK
I'M GOING TO KEEP YOU

ON THE RUN
WITH THAT CASE.

WHY?

'CAUSE IT FEELS
NOT COLD YET.

DIG A LITTLE
DEEPER, WILL YOU?

BESIDES, IF THERE
IS A CONNECTION.

IT'S ALL THE SAME
CASE ANYWAYS.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

HELLO.

[MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[PANTING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

WHO IS IT?

[MUMBLING]

[AKI]
WHAT?

[MUMBLES]

I'M SORRY, MA'AM.

I MUST HAVE KNOCKED
ON THE WRONG DOOR.

WHICH ROOM ARE
YOU LOOKING FOR?

I'M NOT QUITE SURE.
AN ASSOCIATE OF MINE

WAS CHECKED
INTO THIS HOTEL.

HE'S A JAPANESE MAN
ABOUT SIX FEET TALL,

VERY...
[MUMBLING IN JAPANESE]

EASY ON THE EYES?

SUZUKI AKIRA.

SUZUKI AKIRA.

[KNOCKING]

LETTUCE.

[PHONE RINGING]

[MAN]
HELLO?

HELLO?

[ MAN 2]
GIVE ME THE FUCKING PHONE.

HELLO.

IT'S YOU, ISN'T IT?

-HEY!
-HEY!

WHAT'S UP?

I TOOK YOUR ADVICE.

AND LOOKED A LITTLE CLOSER
AT THAT REGISTRATION.

AHUH

THE LUFT FOUNDATION SECURITY GUY
SAID THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED.

YEAH, YOU TOLD ME.

WELL, CHECK THIS OUT.
THREE YEARS AGO,

SOME KIDS GOT DRUNK
AND STOLE A TRACTOR

OF SOME LUFT PROPERTY
IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY.

NOTHING REALLY HAPPENED.
THEY JUST RODE AROUND ON IT
TILL THEY GOT BORED.

NOT ONLY DID THE LUFT
FOUNDATION PRESS CHARGES,

BUT SOMEONE FROM THE COMPANY
APPEARED PERSONALLY IN COURT

JUST TO ASK FOR THE
STRONGEST POSSIBLE SENTENCE,

AND ALL THIS OVER AN
OLD TRACTOR THAT NOBODY
WAS USING ANYWAY,

YET NOW WHEN A VERY
EXPENSIVE CAR GOES MISSING,

THEY JUST WANT TO
SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG?

YOU KNOW STEVEN LUFT, RIGHT?

I SHOULD. HE FUNDED
MY REELECTION.

-[TERESA] REALLY?
-DON'T GET TOO EXCITED.

HE FUNDED
THE OTHER GUY, TOO.

WELL, YOU THINK YOU CAN
TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT?

I CAN TRY,
BUT I KNOW WHAT HE'S
GOING TO SAY, THOUGH.

-WHAT?
-THAT SINCE HE GOT SICK,

HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE BEING
A HARD-ASS ANYMORE.

BUT I'LL TALK TO HIM.

[TERESA]
THANKS, DAD.

FIRST TIME
AT MR. LUFT'S RANCH?

FIRST TIME
AT THIS ONE.

HELLO, PAUL!

MR. LUFT.
HOW YOU DOING?

DEPENDS WHO YOU ASK.

THE DOCTOR SAYS
I SHOULD STAY IN BED.

I SAY I'M FINE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DRINK?

WHATEVER YOU'RE HAVING.

OH, NO. YOU DON'T WANT
ANY OF THAT STUFF.

[LAUGHING]

GET HIM A SCOTCH
AND SODA, WILL YOU?

UH, NO THANKS.
I'M ON DUTY.

OH, ICED TEA.

SO.

TIME TO SUPPORT
MY LOCAL SHERIFF, IS IT?

ELECTION'S NOT
TILL NEXT YEAR, YOU KNOW.

IT'S ACTUALLY
ABOUT MY DAUGHTER.

[LUFT]
ADORABLE GIRL,
ADORABLE GIRL.

FROM WHAT I HEAR,
SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE

WITH US MUCH LONGER,
IS THAT RIGHT?

FBI ACADEMY OR SOMETHING?

[SHERIFF]
YEAH.

YEAH.

POOR OLD DAD
LEFT ALL ALONE, EH?

RIGHT.

SHE ACTUALLY TALKED
TO YOUR HEAD OF SECURITY

NOT TOO LONG AGO,
ABOUT THAT TOWN CAR

THAT WAS STOLEN
FROM THE ESTATE.

DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT.

ABOUT THE CAR
BEING STOLEN?

NO, ABOUT YOUR
DAUGHTER CALLING.

OH, WELL, THE THING IS,
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING

FOR THE MAN WHO WAS
SEEN WITH A CAR.

ASIAN MAN, MID-40S.

RING ANY BELLS?

NO. WHO IS HE?

THE RUNNING MAN.

IT'S JUST THE NICKNAME
THAT'S BEEN FLOATING
AROUND THE OFFICE.

TERESA TOLD ME
YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED

IN PURSUING THE MATTER.

-[LUFT] THAT'S RIGHT. I'M NOT.
-ANY REASON WHY?

DO I NEED ONE?

NO, NOT REALLY.
IT'S JUST IN THE PAST

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN
SO VIGOROUS ABOUT IT.

WELL, LOOK. THINGS HAVE CHANGED
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

I MADE THREE MAJOR DECISIONS.

WHAT LITTLE TIME I'VE GOT LEFT

I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND
ROTTING AWAY IN A HOSPITAL BED.

AND NUMBER TWO, I'M NOT
GOING TO SPEND ANY MORE TIME

OR RESOURCES ON BEING
A VINDICTIVE SON OF A BITCH.

WHAT WAS THE THIRD?

SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY KIDS.

OH, NO, I REMEMBERED,
I DON'T HAVE ANY.

[CHUCKLING]

LOOK, PAUL, I DON'T
THINK THERE'S ANY POINT

IN PRESSING THESE
CHARGES ANY FURTHER...

UNLESS YOU HAVE ANOTHER REASON
FOR LOOKING FOR THIS MAN.

NOT UNLESS YOU'VE GOT ONE.

NO, NOTHING FOR-

EXCUSE ME, SIR.
THEY'RE HERE TO SEE YOU.

SORRY ABOUT THIS, PAUL.

I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO CUT IT SHORT.

I'M SORRY WE
COULDN'T BE MORE HELP.

YAHWE, CUT THE SHERIFF
A CHECK FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.

OH, NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

AH, WHATEVER HE NEEDS,
WHATEVER NE NEEDS.

[PHONE RINGING]

YEAH?

[MAN ON PHONE]
THE CORONER GOT
PRINTS OFF THE BODY,

AND GUESS WHAT?
HE'S GOT A RECORD.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

[MAN ON PHONE]
OH, YEAH. IT'S, UM--
AKIRA SUZUKI.

HE LIVES, OR HE LIVED
IN SAN FRANCISCO.

YOU GOT AN
ADDRESS FOR ME?

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

LETTUCE?

ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR AKIRA?

OH, HE HAS BEEN AT HOME.
I JUST NEVER SEE HIM.

I CAN HEAR HIM
ALL THE TIME, YES.

YOU KNOW, THE WALLS
HERE ARE VERY THIN,

AND THEN YOU PUT
YOUR EAR UP TO IT,

YOU CAN HEAR
ABSOLUTE EVERYTHING.

OKAY. WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU HEARD HIM?

LAST WEEK.
HE HAD A FRIEND OVER,

AND THEY WERE ARGUING
LATE AT NIGHT.

ANY IDEA WHAT THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT?

I DON'T SPEAK JAPANESE.
I SPEAK ENGLISH,

I SPEAK GERMAN,
ITALIAN, UH, FRENCH,

BUT NO JAPANESE.

OH. OKAY.

OH! I HEARD
HIM SAY "KAMI."

COMMIE?

OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.

HE SAID KAMI,
KAMI, KAMI.

LIKE COMMUNIST?

I DON'T KNOW WHY. I MEAN,
THE WALL CAME DOWN

OVER 20 YEARS AGO.

AND DOES HE LIVE ALONE?

UH, SOMETIMES
THE GIRL'S THERE

EVERY FEW MONTHS,
YOU KNOW?

SHE COMES FOR A FEW
DAYS AND GOES AWAY,

COMES AGAIN, GOES AWAY.

DO YOU KNOW HER NAME?

I'VE NEVER SEEN HER.

ONLY HEARING THE NOISE.
[CHUCKLING]

ANY IDEA WHAT LINE
OF WORK HE'S IN?

FISH.

FISH?

FISH.

HELLO?

[TANKS BUBBLING]

[LOUD CLATTER]

HEY!

[PANTING]

AND, UM, GIVE ME
A PACK OF CAMEL, TOO.

EXCUSE ME,
MISS AKAHORI?

YES?

I'M DETECTIVE
JASON HOFFMAN, SFPD.

YOU FILED A REPORT
EARLIER TODAY

ABOUT A BREAK-IN
AT YOUR HOTEL ROOM.

YES.

I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS.

WE GOT HIM.

I JUST NEED YOU TO COME WITH
ME FOR A FORMAL IDENTIFICATION.

YOU'LL HAVE TO
PUT THAT OUT FIRST.

UM... LET ME
PUT THESE AWAY.

THIS WILL ONLY
TAKE A FEW MINUTES.

LET ME GO GET
MY JACKET.

HERE YOU GO.

I'M SORRY TO RUSH YOU,

BUT WE REALLY WANT TO
GET THIS GUY OFF THE-

[GASPING]

MISS AKAHORI?
MISS AKAHORI.

MISS AKAHORI.

WE'RE NOT HERE
TO HURT YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS TELL ME WHERE IT IS.

YOU TOOK IT!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HITOSHI
HAS BEEN TELLING YOU,

BUT GO AHEAD AND SHOP HIM
AROUND, MISS AKAHORI.

NO ONE ELSE IS GOING
TO BE INTERESTED.

YOU GET MY DRIFT?

NO.

YOU THINK SHE
UNDERSTOOD THAT?

OH, I THINK
SHE GOT IT.

[WOMAN ON TV]
SAN MARCO COUNTY INVESTIGATORS
ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS

AFTER THE DISCOVERY
OF A BODY IN A LOCAL POND.

LOCAL OFFICIALS
HAVE NOT RELEASED

THE IDENTITY OF THE
VICTIM BUT HAVE CONFIRMED

THEY ARE INVESTIGATING
THE INCIDENT AS A HOMICIDE,

THEIR FIRST IN
OVER A DECADE.

UH, AT THIS TIME WE ARE
PURSUING ALL AVAILABLE LEADS.

[WOMAN ON TV]
ANZAR LAKE IS A SECLUDED...

[SHERIFF]
WELL, THANKS
FOR YOUR HELP.

IF YOU THINK OF ANYTHING
ELSE, PLEASE CALL. THANK YOU.

SMELLS GOOD!

OKAY, ARE YOU GOING
TO FILL ME IN?

ON WHAT?

WHO WAS THAT
ON THE PHONE?

UH, MRS. MING YUNG KIM,

THE OWNER
OF THE PET STORE.

AND?

AKIRA SUZUKI WAS
A PART-TIME EMPLOYEE.

SHOWED UP ON TIME,
NEVER CAUSED ANY TROUBLE.

HIS EXTRA-CURRICULAR
ACTIVITIES CAME AS
A TOTAL SURPRISE.

NO BACKGROUND CHECK, HUH?

SHE DID AN INVENTORY
AFTER THAT BREAK-IN.

NOT EVEN A SINGLE
SEAHORSE OUT OF PLACE.

HER WORDS, NOT MINE.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT?

THINK OUR BURGLAR WAS
DOING THE SAME THING I WAS,

RETRACING
AKIRA SUZUKI'S STEPS,

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.

BUT I'VE BEEN WRONG BEFORE.

[TERESA]
I KNOW.

[WOMAN ON TV]
POLICE ARE ASKING
FOR THE PUBLIC'S ASSISTANCE

IN SOLVING THIS CRIME.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION,

PLEASE CALL SAN MARCO COUNT-

[PHONE RINGING]

HELLO.

[MAN ON PHONE]
THANK YOU, SHERIFF.

WHO IS THIS?

[MAN ON PHONE]
THANK YOU FOR TAKING ME
TO THE HOSPITAL,

AND I'M SORRY I DIDN'T
STOP TO THANK YOU TODAY.

THAT'S OKAY. HOW ABOUT
WE MEET UP AND TALK ABOUT IT?

[MAN ON PHONE]
NO, I CAN'T. I'M IN TROUBLE.

I CAN HELP.

[MAN ON PHONE]
IT WILL BE OVER SOON,

NOW THAT IT'S
IN THE NEWSPAPER.

I ONLY WISH TO THANK YOU

AND TO SAY GOOD
JOB ON THE TV.

WAIT, WHICH PAPER?

HELLO.

HI. I'D LIKE TO
CHECK BACK IN, PLEASE.

[MAN]
OKAY.

AND I'D LIKE THE SAME
ROOM AS BEFORE.

[SHERIFF]
HEY, STEF. CUP OF COFFEE.

SURE THING, SHERIFF.

SHIT!

[GASPING]

HEY, YOU'RE
NOT PICKING UP.

OH, SORRY.

A MISSING PERSON'S REPORT
JUST POPPED INTO THE DATABASE

FOR AN AKIRA SUZUKI.
SOME TOURIST FILED IT,

BUT NO ONE FROM SFPD
HAS CHECKED INTO IT YET.

THANK YOU, SIR.

HI. I'M SHERIFF DEL MORAL

OF THE SAN MARCO COUNTY
POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

YES?

AKI AKAHORI?

[AKI]
YES?

I'M WITH THE POLICE.

CAN YOU OPEN UP
FOR A SECOND?

HI.

OH, I'M SHERIFF DEL MORAL

OF THE SAN MARCO COUNTY
POLICE DEPARTMENT. WERE--

CAN I SEE SOME
IDENTIFICATION, PLEASE?

UH... SURE.

[SHERIFF]
I NEED A FEW MINUTES
OF YOUR TIME.

IT'S ABOUT YOUR
FRIEND AKIRA SUZUKI.

MAY I COME IN, PLEASE?

I'LL MEET YOU IN THE LOBBY.

[SHERIFF]
DID YOUR FRIEND EVER SAY
SOMETHINGABOUT A PET STORE?

PET STORE?

OR ANYTHING ABOUT GOING
TO SAN MARCO COUNTY?

NO.

I MEAN, AS I SAID
IN THE REPORT,

I BARELY KNOW HIM.

IT ALSO SAYS HE LEFT
A SUITCASE BEHIND.

YES.

MAY I TAKE A LOOK AT IT?

IT WAS STOLEN.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE

YOU CAN TELL ME
ABOUT HIM? ANY--

ANY KIND OF INFORMATION
WOULD BE HELPFUL.

AS I SAID, I DON'T
REALLY KNOW HIM.

EVERYTHING I KNOW
IS IN THE REPORT.

ALL THE CLUES WERE
IN THAT SUITCASE.

CLUES?

OH, I'M SORRY.

I JUST LIKE THAT
YOU CALL THEM CLUES.

IT'S HABIT, I GUESS.
I WRITE MYSTERY NOVELS.

[SHERIFF]
OH!

ANYTHING
I MIGHT HAVE READ?

I DON'T KNOW. UM,
ONLY ONE OF MY BOOKS

HAS BEEN PUBLISHED
IN ENGLISH.

"INSPECTOR TAKABE
INVESTIGATES."

YOU WROTE THIS?

KEEP IT.

AS EVIDENCE?

THANKS. I APPRECIATE IT.

[AKI]
LOOK, MISTER?

DEL MORAL.

MR. DEL MORAL.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

WELL, YOU FILED
A MISSING PERSONS REPORT.

WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE.

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'M INVESTIGATING A HOMICIDE
DOWN IN SAN MARCO COUNTY,

AND THE VICTIM-

YOU THINK IT'S AKIRA.

WELL, YES, I DO.
I'M VERY SORRY.

I MAY NEED YOU TO,
AT SOME POINT-

IDENTIFY THE BODY.

WE ALREADY DID THAT.
FINGERPRINTS.

HOW-

LOOKS LIKE
HE WAS BEATEN TO DEATH.

I MAY NEED TO TALK
TO YOU AGAIN AT SOME POINT,

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,

JUST GIVE ME A CALL

IF YOU CAN REMEMBER
ANYTHING ELSE,

ANYTHING AT ALL.

YOU TAKE CARE NOW
AND HAVE A BETTER DAY.

OH, MISS AKAHORI,

THIS MAY SOUND A LITTLE ODD,

BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT COMMIE MEANS?

[AKI]
COMMIE?

YEAH, IN JAPANESE.

OH, KAMI.

IT MEANS GOD.

GOD?

YES, OR IT COULD MEAN

PAPER OR HAIR.

WELL, IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING.

THANKS ANYWAY.

[WATER TRICKLING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[PHONE RINGING]

[MUFFLED VOICES]

[RADIO STATIC]

[VOICE ON RADIO]
I DON'T SEE THEM DOWN HERE.
SURE THEY LEFT?

[SCREAMING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I THINK WE SHOULD TALK.

THIS IS THE PASSPORT
YOUR FRIEND USED

TO CHECK INTO THE HOTEL.

IT'S NOT HIM, IS IT?

[SHERIFF]
HERE'S A FACE. NOW ALL WE
NEED IS A NAME TO GO WITH IT.

[AKI]
I KNOW THIS GUY.

HE CAME TO MY HOTEL ROOM.

[SHERIFF]
SO, YOU TALKED TO HIM?

YEAH. HIS NAME
IS HITOSHI.

HE LEFT ME
A BUSINESS CARD.

I TRIED THAT NUMBER,
BUT IT'S DISCONNECTED.

-DO YOU THINK HE'S BEHIND
THIS WHOLE THING-
-NO, NO.

HITOSHI SEEMS EVEN MORE
SCARED THAN YOU DO.

BESIDES, HE
POINTED ME TO THIS.

DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.
I DIDN'T KNOW

WHICH ARTICLE HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT UNTIL NOW.

[AKI]
"CUSTOMS OFFICIALS AT SFO
HAVE INTERCEPTED

A SUSPECTED SMUGGLER
CARRYING $500,000 WORTH

OF RARE TURTLES.
THE ANIMALS WERE IDENTIFIED

AS INDIAN FLAT-HEAD TURTLES
AND ARE WORTH

UP TO $50,000 EACH
ON THE BLACK MARKET.

ONCE HIGHLY VALUED FOR USE
IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE,

THE TURTLES ARE ON
THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION

AND ARE PROTECTED
BY INTERNATIONAL LAW."

IF THEY ARRESTED
SOMEONE AT THE AIRPORT,

HOW DID THOSE TURTLES
END UP IN MY HOTEL ROOM?

THERE MUST HAVE BEEN
A SECOND SMUGGLER.

THE REAL AKIRA SUZUKI.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

MY AKIRA KILLED HIM.

KILLED HIM FOR A HALF MILLION
DOLLARS' WORTH OF TURTLES,

WHICH HE THEN LEAVES
BEHIND IN A TOILET?

MAYBE HE DIDN'T KNOW
HE WAS GOING ANYWHERE.

MAYBE, BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T
ANSWER MY BIGGEST QUESTION.

WHAT DID HE WANT FROM YOU?

BESIDES THE OBVIOUS.

I DON'T KNOW.

[AKI]
ARE YOU SURE
YOU DON'T MIND?

[SHERIFF]
OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

I'LL JUST SET UP
MY LITTLE PUP TENT

OUT IN THE BACK,
AND... [CHUCKLING]

THERE'S A NEW
TOOTHBRUSH INSIDE
THE BATHROOM CUPBOARD,

AND YOU'RE WELCOME
TO USE SOME OF TERESA'S,

THAT'S MY
DAUGHTER'S, CLOTHES.

IS THIS HER?

YEAH, WHEN SHE WAS
ABOUT THREE.

SO, THIS MUST BE
YOUR WIFE.

[SHERIFF]
YEAH.

IT WAS A LONG...

UH, LONG TIME AGO.

ARE YOU MARRIED?

NO. WELL, ALMOST.

ONCE.

BUT HE'S DEAD.

OH, I'M SORRY TO HEAR.

A LONG TIME AGO ALSO.

I STARTED READING YOUR BOOK.

YEAH?

YEAH. IT'S GOOD.
I LIKE IT.

POLICE WORK IN JAPAN.
AND INSPECTOR TAKABE,

HE TAKES ONE LOOK AT A GUY AND
KNOWS HIS WHOLE LIFE STORY.

YEAH, I KNOW. IT MUST
SEEM RIDICULOUS.

NO, I JUST WISH
I COULD BE LIKE HIM.

[CHUCKLING] YEAH.

OH, TERESA!

THIS IS MISS AKAHORI.

-HI.
-HI!

UH, EXCUSE US
FOR JUST A MINUTE.

DID YOU GET
THE PHONE RECORDS
FOR OUR PAY PHONE YET?

YES, AND OAKLAND PD'S
CANVASSING THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IN THE MEANTIME,
THIS IS FROM WHEN

-THE RUNNING MAN CALLED YOU-
-YEAH

-THE ONE BEFORE
-THAT'S OUR TIP LINE, RIGHT?

YEAH, BUT I THINK HE MADE
ANOTHER CALL EARLIER THAT DAY.

OHHH

-THAT'S THE JAPANESE CONSULATE.
-HMM.

YOU WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?

I THINK OUR RUNNING
MAN PROBABLY THINKS

HE CAN AVOID ARREST IF THE
CONSULATE GETS INVOLVED.

NO, I MEAN WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH...

SHE'S ASSISTING
IN THE INVESTIGATION.

ASSISTING HOW?

I DON'T SPEAK JAPANESE.

OVER THIS?
OVER TURTLES?

FEDERAL CRIME,
FEDERAL TIME.

EXCUSE ME.

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

[SHERIFF]
MISS YAMAGATA.

I'M SHERIFF DEL MORAL

OF THE SAN MARCO COUNTY
POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[CLEARING THROAT]

TELL HER
WE'RE LOOKING

FOR INFORMATION
ABOUT A MAN.

MIND FILLING ME IN?

OSAMU?

[CLEARING THROAT]

OSAMU MASUMURA.

[SHERIFF]
OSAMU MASUMURA.
I'M LOSING TRACK

OF ALL THE NAMES HERE.
HOW POSITIVE IS SHE?

SHE'S ASKING
WHAT HAPPENED TO AKIRA.

[SHERIFF]
DID A HELL OF
A JOB BACK THERE.

NO IDEA WHAT YOU SAID,
BUT A HELL OF A JOB.

HEY, IT'S NEVER EASY.
CAN'T LET IT GET TO YOU.

NO. NO, IT'S NOT THAT.
I'M JUST CONFUSED.

WHY? WE GOT A NAME.

YEAH, BUT THE
TURTLES ARE FAKE.

THEY'RE NOT WORTH ANYTHING.

NOTHING EVER
SURPRISES YOU, HUH?

THINK ABOUT IT
FROM THE BEGINNING.

AKIRA AND HIS GIRLFRIEND
ARRIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

HE MAKES IT THROUGH
CUSTOMS, SHE DOESN'T,

SO WHAT DOES HE DO?
HE PANICS AND CALLS

HIS BUDDY JUST FOUR
HOURS AWAY IN RENO.

OSAMU MASUMURA.

[SHERIFF]
OSAMU SMELLS MONEY.
ALL HE HAS TO DO

IS KILL AKIRA AND TAKE
HIS PLACE AT THE DROP,

BUT HE'S SHORT
HALF HIS PRODUCT.

SO HE BUYS CHEAP
CHINATOWN TURTLES

TO MAKE UP FOR
THE LOST ONES.

AND THEN HE DRIVES OUT
TO MEET THE RUNNING
MAN FOR THE EXCHANGE.

AND THEN WHAT?

HITOSHI'S IN LUCK
BECAUSE THEN I SHOW UP

AND SAVE HIS LIFE BY
HITTING HIM WITH MY CAR.

WHAT?

OSAMU GOES TO PLAN "B."
FIND A NEW BUYER,

AND THAT'S WHERE YOU
COME IN. YOU'RE THE DECOY.

HE LEFT BEHIND
THE FAKE TURTLES

AS A DISTRACTION,
WHILE HE'S LONG GONE

AND TRYING TO GET RID
OF THE REAL TURTLES.

HOW THE BUYER FOUND YOU
IN THE HOTEL, THOUGH,

THAT, I DON'T KNOW.

HE READ MY BOOKS.

HE READ MY BOOKS,
SO HE KNEW

I'D LOVE A SHITTY CLUE

LIKE A PHONE NUMBER
IN A MATCHBOOK.

AS SOON AS I CALLED
THAT NUMBER,

THEY CAME AFTER ME.

[PHONE RINGING]

EXCUSE ME.

YEAH.

[TERESA]
WE GOT HIM, DAD.
OAKLAND PD CANVASSED A GUY

RENTING HIS BACK ROOM TO
SOMEONE FITTING THE
RUNNING MAN'S DESCRIPTION.

OKAY. WHERE ARE YOU?

[TERESA]
I'M ON MY WAY.
CAN YOU MEET ME THERE?

OH, THAT MIGHT NOT BE...

OKAY. I'LL BE--
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

[TERESA]
I'LL TEXT YOU THE ADDRESS.

YOU SURE YOU'RE
GOING TO BE OKAY?

SURE. I'LL CAB IT.

REMEMBER YOU'RE A WITNESS NOW.

NO MORE PLAYING NANCY DREW.

HEY, SHERIFF!

TELL ME HOW IT ENDS.

BEDROOM ON THE RIGHT.

THAT'S FUNNY.

WHAT?

WELL, JUST A FEW DAYS AGO,

HE HAD STUFF TAPED UP
ALL OVER THE WALLS.

YEAH, WHAT KIND OF STUFF?

[LAND LORD]
WELL, NEWSPAPER ARTICLES,
PIECES OF PAPER.

THESE YOURS?

NO.

GUESS WHEREVER HE WENT
HE WASN'T DRIVING.

AND NO HOUSE KEY.
MUST BE A SPARE.

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.

MM-HMM.

SO, WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?

FOLLOW THE SOUND.

[BEEPING]

CALL THE PARAMEDICS.

GET ME THE JAPANESE CONSULATE.

ARE YOU THE GUY I TALKED TO?

WHAT KIND
OF POISON WAS IT?

HYDROGEN SULFIDE.

THAT'S VERY COMMON IN
JAPAN. WAS THERE A NOTE?

YEAH, A PRINT AD
ON THE CAR DOOR,

BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE A
PRINTER IN THE APARTMENT.

MR. YAMAMOTO CALLED HERE
LAST THURSDAY.

WAS HE LOOKING
FOR LEGAL PROTECTION?

NO.

THEN WHAT DID HE WANT?

INFORMATION ABOUT
JAPANESE CITIZEN.

DID HE GIVE YOU A NAME?

[CONSULT WORKER]
YES, HE DID.

MASUMURA.

OSAMU MASUMURA.

FIVE YEARS AGO,
OSAMU MASUMURA WENT HIKING

ON MOUNT SHASTA,
BUT NEVER RETURNED.

THE SEARCH WAS CALLED
OFF AFTER 18 DAYS,
AND HE WAS PRESUMED DEAD.

AND?

AND THAT'S IT.

OKAY, WHY IS HITOSHI SO
INTERESTED IN THIS CASE?

HE SAID SOMEONE BEAT HIM
UP AND STOLE HIS PHONE,

AND THAT SOMEONE WAS PRETENDING
TO BE OSAMU MASUMURA.

WHAT GAVE HIM THAT IDEA?

NEVADA PLATES
REGISTERED TO OSAMU MASUMURA,

AND HE TRACKED THE MAN
TO HIS HOTEL,

BUT HE WAS ALREADY GONE.

AND WHAT DID YOU SAY?

HE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE,
BUT HE DIDN'T LISTEN.

HE DIDN'T SOUND LIKE
HIMSELF. HE SOUNDED LIKE-

WAIT. YOU KNEW
HIM BEFORE THIS?

- HITOSHI?
-YEAH.

I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR MANY YEARS.

[SHERIFF]
HOW?

STEVEN LUFT.
WE'VE DONE MANY PROGRAMS

FOR THE LUFT FOUNDATION,
ALL THANKS TO HITOSHI.

HE WAS MR. LUFT'S DRIVER.

[PANTING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[SCREAMING]

[GROANING]

WHO ARE YOU? WHY
ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SCREAMING]

[MAN]
EXCUSE ME, SIR.

MAY I HELP YOU? HEY!

I'M SORRY, SIR.
HE JUST BARGED IN.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
PEDRO. YOU CAN GO NOW.

I'D ASK YOU
WHY YOU'RE HERE,

BUT I THINK
I HAVE A GOOD IDEA.

[SHERIFF]
QUITE A MESS YOU'VE MADE.

YES, YES, QUITE A MESS.

[SHERIFF]
TWO MEN DEAD IN
THE SPACE OF A WEEK

ALL BECAUSE OF TURTLES?

DID YOU KNOW THAT
IN THE 15TH CENTURY

CARTHUSIAN MONKS USED TO
HEAL THEIR INFECTED WOUNDS

WITH MOLDY BREAD?

WHICH WAS 500 YEARS
BEFORE PENICILLIN.

A LOT OF HASSLE
FOR A FOLK REMEDY
AND A LOT OF MONEY.

A LOT OF MONEY?
I'VE GOT MONEY.

CAN'T TAKE IT
WITH YOU.

AND UNLESS YOU'VE SUDDENLY
BECOME OFFICIAL WILDLIFE RANGER,

I THINK THIS IS A LITTLE BIT
OUTSIDE OF YOUR JURISDICTION,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

MAYBE, BUT I'VE GOT YOU
FOR OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

DO YOU REALLY
EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE

YOU DIDN'T RECOGNIZE
YOUR OWN CHAUFFEUR?

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT HITOSHI.
SO WHAT'S HE BEEN TELLING YOU?

NOT MUCH. HE'S DEAD.

DEAD?

HOW'D IT HAPPEN?

IT LOOKS LIKE A SUICIDE,
BUT I DON'T BUY IT.

WHY DO YOU THINK I HAD
SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT?

OH, NO. YOU THOUGHT HE RIPPED
YOU OFF, WHICH GIVES YOU

A DAMN GOOD MOTIVE, BUT NO.
I DON'T THINK YOUR BOYS HERE

WOULD BE UP TO THE TASK.
THE CHAINS ON THE DOOR,

THAT MEANS SOMEBODY'S IN THERE.

THE MAN WHO SHOWED UP
AT THE DROP WAS AN IMPOSTOR,

AN IMPOSTOR WHO THOUGHT
HE WAS GONNA WALK AWAY

WITH A FORTUNE IN CASH,
BUT INSTEAD

HITOSHI OFFERED HIM THESE.

THE REAL COURIER
DIDN'T WANT MONEY,

JUST A NEW LIFE FOR HIMSELF
AND HIS GIRLFRIEND.

WORTHLESS PAPER TO
OUR IMPOSTOR.

SO, WHO'S THIS IMPOSTOR?

I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

WELL, I CERTAINLY DON'T KNOW.

BUT I THINK YOU MIGHT
BE ABLE TO HELP ME FIND HIM.

PULL OVER HERE, PLEASE?

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

DID YOU RECEIVE A PHONE CALL
ON THE NIGHT OF THE EXCHANGE?

YES.

-[SHERIFF] FROM HITOSHI?
-YES.

[SHERIFF]
WHAT DID HE SAY?

[MAN]
THAT THE PRICE HAD DOUBLED

[SHERIFF]
HE HAD A GUN TO HIS HEAD.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?

[LUFT]
WELL, I TOLD HIM
TO FUCK OFF.

I THOUGHT HE'D SHIT HIMSELF
AND COME RUNNING HOME.

HE DESERVED MORE CREDIT
THAN THAT. HITOSHI TURNED OUT

TO BE A DAMN FINE DETECTIVE,
LAYING LOW TRACKING DOWN

YOUR CARGO, BUT IN THE PROCESS
HE STUMBLED ON SOMETHING

BIGGER THAN ALL THIS.

WHICH IS?

THE IMPOSTOR.
HE'S DONE IT BEFORE.

KILLS SOMEONE,
STEALS THEIR LIFE.

[GUNSHOT]

[LUFT]
ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO?

[SHERIFF]
CALL HITOSHI'S PHONE.
TELL THE MAN YOU'LL PAY.

[MAN]
WE TRIED THAT
THIS MORNING.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

[MAN]
HE LET THEM GO.

[SHERIFF]
LET THEM GO?

[LUFT]
YEAH. HE LET THEM GO. THERE'S A
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS' WORTH

OF TURTLE
SWIMMING AROUND

IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY
AT THIS VERY MOMENT.

[SHERIFF]
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

NO, IT DOESN'T MAKE
ANY SENSE, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID TO ME?
HE SAID HE'D FOUND

A MORE INTERESTING WAY
TO MAKE HIS FORTUNE.

THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?

WHAT THE FUCK'S
ALL THIS ABOUT, PAUL?

[AKI ON VOICEMAIL]
SHERIFF, I KNOW SOMETHING.

MEET ME AT MY HOTEL
AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

[GROANS]

OS... OSAMU.

AKI... AKIRA.

AKIRA? AH...

[RINGING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

OH... AH!

PAPARAZZI PHOTOS LIKE THESE

EXCUSE ME?

SORRY, MAN. DON'T KNOW
WHERE SHE IS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE

HOW IS IT
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE

WHO SEEMS TO BE ABLE
TO FIND HER?

JUST LUCK, I GUESS.

MY ONLY TALENT.

MIND COMING DOWN HERE
FOR A SECOND?

SURE.

[SHERIFF]
WAIT. JUST STAY
RIGHT THERE.

CAN YOU TAKE OFF
YOUR SUNGLASSES, PLEASE?

WHY?

I'D JUST LIKE TO SEE YOU
WITH YOUR SUNGLASSES OFF.

I'LL COME DOWN.
