Passengers on Flight 542
from Saint Louis

connecting to Chicago O'Hare,
departure gate 93.

Your flight is now leaving
from gate C3.

Weren't you, like, a lot smaller
the last time I saw you?

You're super delayed

and I've been standing here
for two hours

with this ridiculous sign,
so shut the fuck up.

I missed you, too.

Oh, hi.

- How you doing?
- Great.

Oh, my goodness, good to see you.

I didn't even know you had a brother.

What's his name?

Kaito.

(Japanese) Here.

He is younger than me.

The one who went to school.

So smarter.

Our mother thinks so.

What's he like?

He looked up to me.

Followed me everywhere.

I used to get angry.

I would tell him to go away.

He wants to be like me still.

Chihara-kai.

I promised our mother
I wouldn't let him.

But Hayama has pulled him close.

So, get him out.

I have tried. He will not listen.

Then try again.
Don't take no for an answer.

And what will you do now?

Take my own advice.

Get funds to start over.

Take care of the girls until then,
take care of Erika and Daichi.

I'll talk to her.

I must go.

The ceremony is in a few hours.

Are you coming back?

Are you sure
you want me to come back?

Yeah.

Good.

You look different.

- No shit.
- Better clothes.

You used to dress like such a dork.

So, what exactly do you do all day?

I've been wondering.

I chase down stories.

Pound the pavement.

So, you set your own schedule.

Yeah. Pretty much.

Yet somehow you still can't find
the time to call home.

Okay, okay, all my bullshit aside...

are you good?

Ups and downs.

A lot of downs.

Dad had to get past his whole

"I don't believe
in depression" thing.

He doesn't not believe in depression.

You don't know.

You left before it got bad.

Anyways.
I... I started doing activities.

Mom and Dad worry less
when I'm active.

Oh, I'm gonna ask you
for a favor, by the way.

School paper.

You come talk to the Journalism Club

and I ask you stuff like...

"So, do you have
a girlfriend in Japan?"

Yes! I knew it!

You're married with kids,
and you just never told us.

Not even close.

(Japanese) Is he insane?

Fuck.

We have a few follow-up questions.

We won't take much of your time.

Miss Porter.

We are just trying
to fill in the blanks.

- Am I under investigation?
- No.

But we'll have to ask
that you not leave the city

without notifying us.

Good day, Miss Porter.

It's gonna start the second
I walk in the door, isn't it?

Dude. Relax.

Honey...

- Hey, Mom!
- My baby is home.

Oh, my God. Look at you.

I didn't know if you were coming
after your plans kept changing.

Oh, I know, I'm sorry.

Look at this suit.
It's... It is hanging off of you.

What are you eating out there?

Tiny slices of raw fish?

That's not food.

- That's bait.
- That's bait.

I'm eating. I'm eating. I promise.

Okay. Your father is in the backyard.

- Have the drinks arrived?
- Yes, sir.

Good, thank you.

Yeah, they should be put
under the tent, in case it rains.

Okay, good.

Okay.

Just...

60 watt bulb, this should do fine.

Careful, old man. You don't wanna
take a tumble on your big day.

Hey. Hey.

You look good.

Oh, yeah? That's not what Ma said.

Well...

Can I help with anything?

Oh, it's under control.

You must be tired.
How long was your trip?

It was long.

But, you know, I passed over
the international date line

so it's kinda like
going back in time.

If only such a thing were possible.

You should go freshen up.

Yeah.

I guess I will.

Your father, he's happy.

Me too.

I'm gonna go upstairs
and take a shower, change.

Josh...

Ma...

Jake.

It's nice to see you
put your family first.

Could've been worse.

Oh, you made it.

Hi!

And get yourself a drink...

Third victim of a hunting accident
I've had on my table this month.

It is seasonal.

This time of year
we get calls all the time.

So, what was
the cause of death this time?

Rifle shot, back of the cranium.

Jake!

Son, you remember
Paul Luthold from work?

Sorry.

Dr. Luthold. Good to see you.

I was Dr. Luthold when you were Josh.

It's Paul.

Welcome home.

You've been missed.

Oh, let's see how they feel
about me tomorrow.

And this is Phil Hadley.

He's with the Boone County
Sheriff's Department.

Good to know ya, Jake.

They don't have KC barbecue in Japan,
am I right?

Yeah. But, no chronic
heart disease either.

I hear Tokyo's very different.

More polite, kinda timid,
would you say?

Well, tell that
to the Japanese mob boss

who got thrown out
his penthouse window last week.

So, what is it like in the Far East?

Well, bananas come
wrapped in plastic

and you pay a hundred bucks
for a melon.

Oh, you're exaggerating!

Hand to God.

And guns... not a thing.

Like, I work with a detective

who arrested somebody
for owning a bullet.

- You're kidding!
- Yeah, I hear from your dad

- you're on the crime beat.
- Yeah, that's right.

You must see some wild stuff
after the sun goes down.

Sure.

Maybe not what you're thinking.

It's less murder and more...

the floating world.

Floating.

Sounds poetic. Now, imagine.

Clubs for men who want to be...
sorry, Mom

groped by ladies on the subway.

So, the clubs are made
to look like subway cars.

And you just stand there...

Exactly!

- Sure.
- Hey, I'm glad you're having fun.

Their transit's better than ours.

Hey, you mind if I join?

We haven't met officially.

Dean Kudisch.

Wait. Senior editor of
the St. Louis Dispatch?

No way!

I grew up on the Dispatch.

Well, I'm flattered.

I fell in love with journalism
because of you.

I read all of your work
when you were in Srebrenica.

Well, I've read you too.

The exposé on the biker thefts
was really strong.

Wait, how did you get...

Oh, Meicho publishes
an English edition stateside.

I... I knew you were Eddie's kid.
I gave it a read.

- I was impressed.
- Wow. Thanks.

Thank you.

Your old man says
you're not here for very long.

No, well...

Missouri and I do best
in small doses.

You know, there were
two types of reporters

when I was in Srebrenica.

The ones who couldn't wait to go home

and the ones
who couldn't ever go home.

And over time, I got to tell
pretty fast who was who.

You know how I knew?

The lifers were funny.

They were reckless, fearless.
They were the life of the party.

They were creating the men
that they wanted to be.

And then they started living
as those men.

And the problem is...

when you lose track
of who you used to be...

it's harder to get home.

Maybe they were happier being away.

Maybe.

Or maybe they just got lost.

You know,
if you're ever back for good...

I'm hiring.

Pleasure, Jake.

Nice to meet you, Dean.

(Japanese) Okay, 2.00pm.

That's when he was a teen...

Speech!

Speech!

- Eddie!
- Give us a speech!

Yeah!

Eddie!

Here he comes!

I just...

You got this, Eddie!

Sweetie, you should say something.

- I wanna... Thank...
- Me?

Yeah. He needs your help.

Go...

- Go on, Eddie. You can do it.
- No worries.

We're here for you, buddy.

Hey, I'm...

the son, obviously.

I wanted to give some remarks.

So, thank you all for coming.

It means a lot to my family
and it means a lot to me.

But of course you all came.
I mean, he's Eddie Adelstein.

The ukulele master himself.

I've learned a lot from my old man.

You know, dragging me
to crime scenes as a kid

didn't totally mess me up.

Instead, it made me curious.

My... my dad taught me the value
not just of asking questions

but of asking the right questions.

And he taught me that

it's okay to care
about your work with your full heart.

Especially if your work's people.

Alive or dead.

Because, you know, the more people
who care about people, the better.

And, Eddie Adelstein...

has a great big heart.

With room enough for everybody.

I'm proud to be your son.

So, from all of us...

Happy birthday, Dad.

- Happy birthday, Eddie!
- Happy birthday.

- We love you, Eddie.
- Eddie!

Hey.

Your sister gone to bed?

Out like a light.

Seems like she's doing better.

Few steps forward, a few steps back.

How far back?

She needed in-patient.

Just for a few weeks.
We got her back on track.

And she was doing in-patient
and nobody told me?

Would you have flown back?

Did Jess ask you about
her school presentation yet?

Yeah, a, Q&A in front
of the school newspaper, right?

It's important to her, Jake.

It's the first thing she's been
excited about in a while.

- I'll be there, Dad.
- Good.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Tonight's the most relaxed
I've been in a long time.

Trouble with work or with a woman?

What if it's the same trouble?

Who is she?

She's...

in kind of a complicated situation.

And wants out.

Domestic violence?

This guy is a violent guy.

I'm not sure if he's violent
toward her, but he could be.

And you're helping her?

I'm trying.

But you have feelings.

I have feelings.

You're a good man, Jake.

You are.

In a world of constant uncertainty,
that's what comforts me.

I know I raised a good man.

I hope you'll come back here someday.

Get married, raise some kids.

I know that doesn't sound
as glamorous

as what you're doing over there,
but I think you could be happy.

I am happy over there.

That's the whole thing, son.

It's over there.

And we don't know
because we're not a part of it.

I'd like to change that.

Hey.

Hey.

Luna.

- I haven't seen you since Onyx.
- God, it's been a while.

Yeah. You look... good.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

The club is a complete disaster.

Cops keep coming by.

They think I'm the love-triangle
murder queen.

The insurance company's
dragging its feet.

There's no fucking money.
It's a fucking nightmare, Lu.

I'm sorry, Sam.

You had a rough go.

- I didn't mean to complain.
- It's okay.

You're in the shit.
You get to complain.

Actually...

I didn't call you for your sympathy,
though I appreciate it.

I'm hoping you can help me.

If you can find a place for my girls
at Onyx, just for the time being.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't.

They're exceptional hostesses.

They'd do any place proud.

Just talk to Duke. It's not for me.

- It's for them.
- I'm... Look, I'm sorry.

- Okay?
- Why not?

Because, Sam

people were killed in your club.

You are the story, and anyone
who's connected to you right now

they're part of the story too.

I told you that going in with
the yakuza was not gonna end well.

And I... I just wish
you had stayed at Onyx.

I don't.

I made something. I'm good at it!

I don't wanna let this go.

(Japanese) Were you in
a relationship with Ohno-san?

Will you leave the country?

- How do you know each other?
- Samantha-san!

Hon, I can hear your mouth watering.

I've been dreaming about this food.

Oh, you have 100-dollar cantaloupes
and subway groper clubs...

Oh, Ma.

And you can't get a plate of bacon
and eggs for breakfast?

Not the way my mama makes it.

I saw you talking to Dean last night.

Yeah, Dean Kudisch was there.

Yeah.

Did he offer you a job?

No, I mean, well, sort of.

In the future.

The job would be here, obviously.

Let me guess. You want me to take it.

But you're never going to.

What's that supposed to mean?

You worked too hard
to get away from here.

- Ma...
- Yeah.

I know, it's... it's not about us.

Or mostly I know.

You did what you had to do.

Eggs are done.

Bring your plate, Jake.

You just call me Jake?

Yeah, you've been gone so long,
I guess you...

you grew into a Jake.

- (Japanese) Yes.
- Hi there.

This is Marge from
Southern Minnesota Medical Center.

I'm calling about an outstanding bill

from Mr. Tanaka's surgery.

Hello?

Wrong number.

(Japanese) Fuck!

Hey, calm down.

You shit.

Hey.

And then I wanna ask you
about the panty vending machines.

I mean, as far
as a journalistic question

it's kind of a dead end, you know.

The answer is that yes, they exist.

- Gross. Okay, so then...
- Yeah, don't ask me about that.

What are you working on now?

So, I've been deep in
illegal motorcycle gang activity.

So, you can ask me about that.

And about getting too close
to a source.

Joshua Jake Adelstein, rule breaker.

What do you expect?

What do you love most about your job?

All right.

I'd say the unpredictability of it.

Never knowing what's coming next.

When I lived here, everything
just seemed so preordained.

You know, the sameness of it all.

Kinda made me itch.

What about you?

- What do you mean?
- I mean...

Are you happy here?
Are you gonna stay after high school?

I'm just trying
to get through high school.

I can't think farther
ahead than that.

I'll go get it.

Adelstein residence.

Jake.

- Katagiri-san?
- Can you talk?

Yeah.

We found evidence that Tozawa went
to Minneapolis for liver surgery.

He must have bribed someone.

Or threatened them.

- Either way, we can use it.
- Yeah.

Okay. Let me know what you find out.

Jake.

Minneapolis is a 90-minute flight
from St. Louis.

Who knows what he'll do

if Tozawa thinks
we have this information.

You're coming back
for the interview, right?

Absolutely. I'm gonna be
in Minneapolis one day max.

Honey... Honey.

I just don't... I don't know

why they couldn't find
someone else to go.

Because I'm here, Mom.
They're all the way over there.

It's a long way.

How can I help?

Help? Like, with what?

Like, I know a few guys at SMMC.

The head of their neurology
department is an old friend

and he would know...

Who did you say you wanted,
head of hep?

Yes, hepatology.

Well, I could always make a call.

I would really appreciate that, Dad.

See, your old man's
not so useless after all, is he?

If I were a younger man,
I'd go with you.

Well, hopefully I won't need
a coroner for this one, Dad.

- See you guys soon.
- Bye. See you tomorrow.

Be safe.

(Japanese) Around 1.00pm,
5th today, at Tokyo Station...

Comedian Championship!

We are going to do this!

- Go...
- Go...

Frankly speaking?

the minute Akira-san wore

those items will vanish
from shelves...

So, your dad knows Bill, huh?

- Ah, that's great. Small world.
- Yeah.

Thank you so much for taking the time

to speak to me on such short notice.

Well, I just have a few minutes,
but you said you're writing a piece?

Yeah, I'll only need a few minutes.

It's for the Meicho Shimbun in Tokyo.

We're doing a story about
how US innovations in medicine

make their way to Japan.

Well, happy to help however I can.

Yeah. Well, to start

what can you tell me
about the transplant wait list?

Well, it's long.

We have about 400 folks
on the list right now.

And that's Americans only,
or foreign nationals as well?

No. We don't treat
foreign nationals here.

This list is for Americans only.

And what's the average wait time
on a liver?

Well, for us,
it can be up to five years.

I hope that helped.

Sorry to rush, but I gotta get back.

No. Thank you so much for your time.

- Anytime.
- Nice watch.

Yeah, thanks.

Dr. Walker,
what percentage of patients

on the list die waiting
for a liver that they never get?

Oh, well, that hovers around 10%.

And where did you get
that Vacheron Constantine?

- I'm sorry?
- The watch.

It's a Vacheron Constantine, right?

They don't make many of those.

I'm... I'm not following.

Here's the thing.
I would love to write a story

about how great you are
and how great SMMC is.

I'd rather not write a story
about that watch

and how it was a gift
from a high-level Japanese gangster

who flew in, jumped the waiting list,
and went under your knife.

- Listen, I had no...
- But if you don't help me, I will.

And then you can kiss
your career bye-bye.

Katagiri-san.

- Jake.
- Ready for this?

Tozawa not only got
a liver transplant at SMMC.

The second a match became available

he was prepped and ready
for surgery the very next morning.

Who told you this?

His surgeon, Dr. Walker.

Patient covered in tats head to toe.

Barely spoke English.

There were guards outside the OR
and outside recovery.

The patient was listed as,
get this, Spencer Tanaka.

S.T.

And after the surgery,
these Japanese guys in suits

give Walker
a quarter-million-dollar watch

and tell him they would appreciate
his discretion.

The real question is...

how did Tozawa manage
to skirt a No-Fly ban?

Who did he have to bribe
to pull something like that off?

There's a story here.

And many more questions.

When are you coming back to Japan?

I have four days left here.

Jake. We do not have four days.

I do not have four days!

I can't just up and leave.
My family would kill me.

Jake, Tozawa is consolidating power.

You just found critical evidence
against him.

I'm sorry to ask.

But many more people may die here...

if we do not see this through.

Adelstein residence.

Hey. How's it going there?

You get what you needed?

I'm glad.

Can't wait to hear the whole thing.

You on your way back?

Where?
What are you doing in Dallas?

Jake...

What about...

You promised Jess.
What's she supposed to...

She's been waiting for you to...

This isn't a way to do things.

What am I supposed
to tell your mother?

I understand that you're needed

but there will always be
something bigger

and more urgent than your family
if you let it be.

Be safe.

(Japanese)

(Japanese) Hey! Bastards!

You'll never get away with this!
