Bob Richmond

Hey! Hey, you! Quit loafing! Get the senator's car! What do you think we're doing?

No, you get the senator's car! Wrong guy, wrong **** century! Penguin looking mother ****er!

Cop

Hey Graham, want some sushi?

No thanks. If I get a craving for mercury, I'll eat a thermometer.

So... what do we know now?

Well, we know the disk was doctored here.

And we know that they know that we know. We're beating the grass to startle the snakes.

What? Look, where are you from, sempai? Scotland Yard?

No. Scotland back yard. So how did you become the special liaison officer for Los Angeles? And uh... who is what's her name?

What you should be asking is why you and I were put together last night.

I was on duty. Nakamoto requested you.

No, they didn't. Nakamoto is formally protesting the fact that I'm on the case.

You're saying someone else called you in. Someone who...

Has been manipulating things. We're playing that most American of games.

Which is what?

Catch up.

Perry

Mr. Sakamura is not available.

Mr. Sakamura is a good friend of mine. I'm sure he's available for me.

Perry

Gentlemen, you're trespassing. Now, unless you have a search warrant, you'll have to leave. You should know I'm a black belt.

But of course you are, dear.

Jeff

Need help, Perry?

Perry

So is Jeff. OK, fellas. You're leaving. [places his hand on Connor's shoulder]

That's assault.

Perry

I don't wanna hurt you.

[Connor hits Perry in the throat]

They say if you must resort to violence, you've already lost. What do you think, Jeff?

Jeff

I think I'll go get Mr Sakamura.

Phillips

Must be nice to **** a lawyer, instead of always being **** by one.

These little guys eat shit in Tokyo. Crammed into subways, working for big companies. They come here and they're rich and free. They all want to **** a Rose Bowl queen.

And then kill the Rose Bowl queen on the Nakamoto boardroom table? Call the police and create a scandal? Is that your theory?

My theory? My theory is that these guys are known world class perversion freaks. I got a nose for these things.

I'm sure.

Sempai, apple pie, whatever I have to call you,... we have a murder here.

I want to solve it, not listen to true confessions. You know what's true? When something looks too good to be true, then it's not true.

[about Ishihara]

What's going to happen to him?

They are retiring him. Ishihara will be given a window seat. He will spend the rest of his life in Japan, staring out an office window.

Too bad. He seemed like a heck of a guy. Personally, I got along great with him.

If you sit by the river long enough, you will see the body of your enemy floating by.

He's guilty as hell.

Well, my dairokkan says he's not.

I hope your intuition is right. Look, sempai, my dairokkan tells me your dairokkan wasn't why you let Eddie go.

In Japan, his father saved my life.

And Eddie reminded you of that?

He would never remind me. It's my responsibility to remember.

So what is all this bullshit about his father's keiretsu?

Bullshit? There's a keiretsu war going on. A Japanese corporation never stands alone. A keiretsu is a united front of hundreds of powerful companies, all acting in partnership to win.

To win what?

Whatever's there. You ever hear "business is war"? The war is never over.

Maybe you heard "All's fair in love and war"?

So where does that leave us?

Us? We're in the war zone.

Isn't it bad form to lose your temper?

It is. But I had to, to assist Ishihara.

Assist Ishihara? Now why would you wanna do that?

He wasn't the most important man in the room.

Oh, he wasn't?

No. It was the older man. His juyaku, his superior. But I wanted to get the investigation going so I played the out-of-control gaijin. So Ishihara wouldn't lose face. So now, Ishihara owes me a favour. Deep, isn't it?

Heavy.

Look, are you on the take?

**** you, the take.

Are you on the ****in' take?!

Who the **** are you to ask me about that? You started me off. You remember that? Now, play ball. You get to keep your kid, your job, and your buddies. We're a team, Web.

A team? What team are we on, huh?

We know who you've got in there. You're harboring a murderer in there.

How did you know Eddie was still alive?

He's not! He's dead. He just forgot to lay down.

He didn't do it.

Who did it?

We don't know who did it!

Send him out, Spider-san, with the disk too. I'll protect the guy.

And what if I don't?

If you don't?! If you don't, you're obstructing justice. You're harboring, baby. If you don't, we're coming in after a murderer. What are you doing to your life? You know me, Web. I get my man.

Yeah. Even if he's the wrong man.

Who the **** are you? The Supreme Court?

We're safe around here.

You call this safe?

Rough neighborhoods may be America's last advantage. Perhaps I may suggest a strategy. Don't stare at these guys. Keep your hands down. These guys don't like big arm movements. They might shoot you. Keep your voice calm...Better still, don't say shit. If you hear me say "Can I be of any assistance?" it's too late. You can kiss your little ass goodbye.
