Are you sure it's him?
I saw him hit the pavement.
Maruyama-san, before Nakahara fell,
I saw Tozawa enter the building.
Do you have photos of that?
No. But he was there.
Fine. We'll include that detail.
Start dictating.
[both speaking Japanese]
Answer me.
What were you looking for in my study?
Nothing.
I was curious to see where you live, where you work.
Don't lie to me.
I'm not lying to you.
I'm not a stupid man.
I'm not-- come on, I was just--
oh, okay.
What the fuck?
What's on this?
Did you photograph my blueprints?
[sighs] I don't understand.
What use is my work to you?
[soft dramatic music]
My club is half-owned by the Yakuza.
They found out about your project.
They asked me to get the information.
I said I would if they give me the club, free and clear.
So you did it for yourself.
Yes.
And for the girls, too, to protect them.
I see.
For the girls.
And my career gets ruined in the process.
You can sleep on the couch.
It's too late to drive you home.
We'll discuss this tomorrow.

Come with me.
Masa-san, I am so sorry.
I won't tell them what I saw.
I'll say you caught me first, that I couldn't find anything.
Ishida will have to accept that.
And what if you do not provide Ishida
with the location?
What will he do to you?
That's not your problem.
I got myself into this mess.
I'll get myself out.
There's another project I'm working on,
early stages.
If Ishida bought surrounding properties there instead,
he could make a significant return.
But you'd still be ruined.
Maybe not.
Unlike Shimbashi, this one is a private venture.
If there was a run on nearby real estate,
the owners would profit and likely ask no questions.
If we convinced Ishida to accept this,
you could keep your club, and I could keep my job.
What if I could get someone I know
to publish the location of your project in the press?
Wouldn't that make
the Shimbashi information worthless?
And then I could make my proposal
of a valuable replacement.
Why are you helping me?
I know what it is to need forgiveness.
Thank you for the call last night.
It was smart of you not to talk to anyone else.
Of course.
You know there's no way that Nakahara jumped, right?
I just wish I would have gotten a picture
of Tozawa entering the building.
That fucker never came back out.
I will get back to you with anything we learn.
And by we, you mean that female detective
who sent me packing the other day?
How's that working out?
She's, like, your new partner or something?
It is working fine.
Great.
But we're still a thing, right?
Starsky and Hutch?
Which of us is Starsky?
Me, obviously.
I do not think so.

This anything to do with Ishida?
Can you just do this for me?
Are you in trouble?
Fine.
I'll follow it up. [glass shatters]

What's up with you?
There's something I need to tell you.
Tozawa's back in Tokyo.
I saw him at his lawyer's office,
and I followed him to a medical building in Minato-ku.
I'm gonna make him pay for what he did.
I'm not giving up.
Jake, I love you for wanting to take him on,
but having a death wish isn't sexy.
We had videotape of his men killing Pol--
no consequences.
His men beat you up-- no consequences.
So no, I'd rather not find out one day
that you just disappeared,
and there will be no consequences.

They know the actual location

Yeah, my source just called me.
They said Shimbashi.
Are they in the transport office?
No, they're... in a different field,
but I trust them.
Maruyama-san?
Have the article ready for tomorrow's edition.
I was thinking... Kurihira should do it.
You want to give away your scoop?
I think he could really use it.
You know, Baku's been riding him really hard.
Fine.
Oh, and your request for your trip to America was approved.
Oh.
Oh, I'm just not sure, what with everything going on,
that I should go, you know...
Jake, there will always be stories,
but you have only one family.
The Ministry will say no comment,
so you'll just need to bluff a little.

You just need confirmation.

It was temporary.
It doesn't matter.
It isn't really my club, as you made perfectly clear.
No, no, it's actually two circles
going in opposite directions.
So let me get this straight.
You're talking about the Yamanote Line
that makes the big circle around Tokyo.
Yes.
The outer track runs clockwise,
the inner track counterclockwise.
So if you prefer foreign men,
we say you ride the outer track.
So I'm a foreign man.
Well...
[both laugh]
And if you stick to native Japanese men,
you ride the inner track, right?
[both speaking Japanese]
So I guess you're a outer track man, huh?
Actually,
tonight was my first time on that track.
Really?
Thank you.
What about you?
To be honest,
it's been a year since I've been with anyone.
Really?
Why?
I got tired of not liking the people in my bed.
Thank you.
It was a big deal for me to approach you at that party.
I haven't done that in a long time.
You have a lot of lost time to make up for.
If you can keep up.

So here's Tozawa's file, right?
And here are the files of four other Yaks.
Are you sure they're Yakuza?
Dude, you know how many fanzines I read.
I know all their names.
Illness of the trade.
We call it shokugoyo.
Yakuza live a life filled with alcohol,
shabu, and tattoo needles.
Do that long enough and you get liver disease.
Well, it seems Tozawa has it--
or did.
It's not something they get over.
