♪♪

Move on.

There's no double parking here.

I'm with the Japanese consulate.

Official business.

I'm here to meet the diplomatic
courier arriving from Tokyo.

Very nice to see you again.

Glad you had a good flight.

Stop the car!

The courier has been kidnapped!

- What?
- He forced me off the road!

He tied me up! He took the car!

Just relax. He'll make a call.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

May I help you?

Yes, I'm here to see
Mr. Joseph Mannix.

Is he expecting you?

I should have called first.

I'm sorry, but it
is very important.

Name is Tami Okada.

One moment, Mr. Okada.

Oh, thanks, Peg.

Says it's important.

Show him in.

Mr. Okada.

Mr. Mannix.

Mr. Okada.

A pleasure to meet
you, Mr. Mannix.

Please sit down.

Would you like some coffee?

Of course. It would
be impolite to say no.

Not if you really don't want it.

Ah, well, I really don't.

Thank you.

Some tea?

How very kind of you.

Now, uh, what can I
do for you, Mr. Okada?

I need your help.

I'm your counterpart in Tokyo.

Counterpart?

Private investigator.

Oh. Oh.

May I say, your office
is most impressive?

Well, I'm not sure that's
quite the word for it.

Oh, yes.

In Japan, investigator
has small office,

most times, no secretary.

Beautiful flower arrangement.

Oh, what can I do to
help you, Mr. Okada?

One starts talking
business so soon?

In America, usually sooner.

Ah.

Perhaps you have read
news about diplomatic courier

who disappeared
day before yesterday.

Yes.

I've been sent here to find him.

- By whom?
- Courier's father.

He suffers deeply
from this disgrace.

Disgrace?

The man was kidnapped.

Oh, yes, in Japan, when a
man fails in professional duty,

it is a disgrace to family.

Even when it's not his fault?

Yes.

And if courier is
not found soon,

his father will have to atone.

How?

For those who live by our
customs, there is only one way.

Yes, Mr. Mannix.

Hara-kiri.

In this day and age?

In Japan, days do not
age as they do here.

Huh.

Well, I'll be glad to
do whatever I can.

Thank you.

You see, it is my first
time in your country.

Hmm.

Now, do you have any leads?

Leads?

Clues.

Ah, clues, yes, yes.

There is someone
the courier has seen

each time he comes
to Los Angeles.

She works at Japanese
Village in Sea Theater Show.

This time, ladies and gentlemen,

we'd like to introduce
something quite spectacular.

And you'll agree to
that when you see it.

We're going to use two
of our oldest dolphins,

Uriko and Okiyro.

We're one of the few theme
parks in the world doing this,

results of nine
months of training.

The dolphins are side by side.

And this is it, ladies
and gentlemen.

Amyio Kim astride our two
dolphin stars, Uriko and Okiyro.

Going out on the ride of his
life, making one revolution.

Now in for the landing;
that's the tricky part.

Well, the second time
around, and look at him go.

They're really picking up speed.

Can he make it?

Safe and sound.

That's Amyio Kim.

Our dancers are
performing something

quite traditional in Japan,

bringing our show
good luck and fortune.

Our dolphins have
been watching the dance,

and they've come up
with a modernized version.

It's something
everyone can learn.

So if you expect to learn,

you'll have to
watch very closely.

Took them a couple months
to pick up this dance step.

Shouldn't take
you any time at all.

Watch closely.

Think of how impressed
your friends will be

as you show them
the latest craze.

It's called The Dolphin, by
our dancing discotheque stars.

Our dolphins will be
leaving us at this time,

and they'd like to thank Kim
in the way that they know best.

That's by waving
good-bye, dolphin style.

And as a conclusion to our show,

we'd like to thank
our trainer Amyio Kim,

our three dolphins,
Uriko, Akim and Okiyro.

And with the flight of our
doves, we'll end our show.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you very much,

and we hope you have a nice
day here at the Japanese Village.

Excuse me, we're
looking for Miss Nakano.

Thank you.

Miss Nakano?

Yes?

I'm Joe Mannix.

This is Tami Okada.

Oh, is it about Akio Iguchi?

Yes.

I've already told the
police I know nothing.

But you are a
good friend of his.

I see him whenever he
comes to Los Angeles.

Did you know he was
coming here this time?

I never know in advance.

Excuse me, Nakano-san.

May I ask if he telephoned
from airport to say he was here?

No, he didn't.

Do you know where he stays
when he's in Los Angeles?

I've already told
you, I know nothing.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

A pleasantly
beautiful young lady.

What does that mean?

Huh?

Oh, it means, "Meeting
is beginning of parting."

No, no.

I told them I didn't
know where you were.

I'll call you later.

Good-bye.

Joe, what are you
so worried about?

Tami Okada said he'd
be here for lunch at 1:00.

Joe, it's only a quarter after.

Peggy, when a Japanese
says 1:00, he means 1:00 sharp.

Old custom, punctuality.

I tell you, there's
something wrong.

Well, where'd he say he was
going when you dropped him off?

He wanted to go over to
Little Tokyo and look for a lead.

Mr. Mannix's office.

Just one moment, Mr. Okada.

Oh, what happened?
Where are you?

Sorry not to be punctual.

Have been busy.

Did you find anything?

Not safe to talk on phone.

I have read about
wiretapping in the U.S. of A.

Meet me.

Okay, where?

I'll be there.

Where you going?

Shopping.

Where else?

Hey, what's this
all about, Tami?

When I left hotel room today,
I put matchstick on top of door.

On return from Japanese
Village, matchstick on floor in hall.

Meaning that somebody opened
the door while you were gone.

Somebody still inside
when I get to room.

So, I come here.

You mean, you
didn't go in after him?

Oh, no. I leave quietly.

Why?

Number one reason: I'm rather
good at karate and kung fu,

but there are some
who are better.

Number two: in Japan,
it is considered disgrace

for man of law to use force.

Number three: a man
in room might have gun.

Well, there is always
that third possibility.

In Japan, no.

Here, yes.

In Japan, only policemen and
soldiers allowed to have guns.

And how do you plan on
taking care of that somebody?

I will trick him into
using force against me.

How do you plan to do that?

I have let it be
known in Little Tokyo,

I go to bath house across
the street from hotel at 4:00,

hoping that Yakuza
will hear about this.

Yakuza?

Gangster.

Ah.

I'm hoping he will be
waiting for me outside

to make forceful attack on me.

And suppose Yakuza is
across the street on the roof

and takes a shot
at you from there?

Yakuzas think it is
cowardly to use guns.

Prefer knives.

This one could be the exception.

Number three reason
for not going into room.

But if I am killed,
you will be there

to capture Yakuza
and find Courier.

It's your funeral.

Oh, that's just an
old American saying.

♪♪

Excellent bath
house, very clean.

Someone on roof?

I haven't seen anyone suspicious

on the roof or anywhere else.

Will come.

Do not keep too close.

Yakuza must
think I am all alone.

Oh, uh, tuna sashimi.

Malcolm.

Yeah, Art, Joe.

Do me a favor, will you?

A pickup truck, license
number 567 FTW.

Joe, if you want me
to put out an APB,

you've got to give
me some details.

All I want is to
have it followed.

Some details, Joe.

Art, there's no time.

Now look, just tell me

when and where the truck parks.

I might even catch a
couple of big fish for you.

Yeah, okay, Joe.

567 FTW.

Splendid cooperation
from police.

Also splendid to
have phone in car.

Will definitely get
one when I get car.

Excuse me, did a
couple of men go by here,

one of them Japanese?

Oh, yeah, about ten minutes ago.

Where did they go?

Went toward the Sea Theater.

♪♪

Get back to the car.

Call Lieutenant Malcolm
at Police Headquarters.

Tell him to get away
with some men fast.

Not necessary; two
of them, two of us.

But you don't have a gun.

Now get going.

♪♪

♪♪

Oh!

Oh! Aah!

Take comfort.

As we sometimes say in
Japan, "To be beaten is to win."

Yeah, well, my head
tells me we're not in Japan.

Thanks, Tami.

I'm pleased that you call
me by first name, Joseph.

Joe.

Okay, Joe, far out.

Where did you learn that?

Worked as bartender in Tokyo
to send me through college.

Many American
tourists come there.

Hi, Art, anything?

Nobody around but a
few workmen and guards.

We've questioned all
of them, but nothing.

You work here?

I'm working with Joe.

Oh?

Tami Okada.

He's a private
investigator from Tokyo.

Lieutenant Malcolm.

Well done, Lieutenant,
to get here so fast.

Thanks.

Working on what?

Missing person.

Japanese diplomatic courier.

That's my case, Joe.

Yeah, well, uh,

if we get any leads,
we'll let you know, Art.

Or clues, Lieutenant.

What are you doing here so late?

There's someone
inside waiting to see you.

Yeah, who?

A girl.

Midori Nakano.

I didn't know where else to go.

About what?

This afternoon when we talked,

I lied to you.

I did know where Akio-san was.

Why didn't you say so?

He told me not to tell anyone.

Trust is most important.

But two men walked

into my dressing
room this afternoon

and asked if I knew
where Akio-san was.

I told them I didn't.

Was one of them Japanese?

Yes, and the other,

most frightening man.

They didn't believe me.

They threatened me.

And you told them?

No, the stage manager walked in,

and they just went away,

but I think somehow
they found Akio-san.

What makes you think that?

Well, as soon as I could
get to the telephone,

I called Akio-san to warn him.

A man answered.

When I asked for
Akio-san, he just hung up.

Was it one of the two men?

I think so, but I'm not sure.

Hurry, please.

I-I'm so afraid.

Akio-san was at Crown Motel

at East Avenue.

I told you he didn't
have any luggage.

What are you looking for?

When people check into
your motel, you usually make

a note of the license
number of their cars, right?

He came in a cab.

Did he leave in a cab, or
did somebody pick him up?

- Cab.
- What kind?

City Cab.

City Cab Company.

Eddie, Joe Mannix.

Well, it's good to
hear from you, Joe.

Eddie, listen,
uh, you got a call

from the Crown Motel about 8:15.

Where'd the cab go?

Oh, now, Joe,

I got strict orders against
giving out log entries.

It's important, Eddie.

Well, so is my job, you know?

It seems to me I remember

a couple of times when
you needed a favor.

Stop shoving, will you?

Oh, now, Eddie, don't tell me

you forgot that
trip to San Diego?

Okay, hold on.

Very effective.

When I get home again,

I must remember to do
favors for taxi dispatchers.

And don't forget hotel
clerks and doormen.

And et cetera.

- Joe?
- Yeah, Eddie, what've you got?

Gardena.

The Kyoto Club.

- Good evening, gentlemen.
- Good evening.

We're looking for a
man named Akio Iguchi.

I do not know the name.

Well, he would have arrived
a few minutes before 9:00.

About 35 years
old, medium height,

probably wearing a black suit.

Sorry, I do not remember him.

What'd she say?

Is he here?

No, no, now we are
in my baseball park.

Must go slowly.

One moment, please.

First we go to private
room for dinner,

then ask questions.

What was in the envelope?

$20 bill.

In Japan, we put tips in
paper or put them in envelopes.

Tips and bribes.

What makes you think
we're getting anything

but a private room for that $20?

Lady's manner reveals
she is honorable person.

As such, she would not
take money deceitfully.

This way, please.

You handle chopsticks
like Japanese.

I learned in Korea.

If we were in Orient now,

we would have geisha girls
to entertain us with meal.

You haven't
forgotten we're still

working on a case, have you?

A refined, well-trained
geisha can be very helpful.

Lovely face, soothing music,

tranquility,

rests soul and stimulates mind.

I think your mind's
been stimulated enough

with Akio's girlfriend, Midori.

Very shrewd observation,

but do not think it is just a
response to her physical charm.

You could have fooled me.

People who told me about her
say she has very fine ancestry.

Most eligible young lady.

You should never leave
chopsticks in rice bowl.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Bad luck, old superstition.

Means nothing.

But you'd like me
to take them out?

If you wish.

The man you are seeking
talked to somebody

at the bar who
looked like a Yakuza.

I was afraid to tell you while
the Yakuza was still there.

Do you know where the
man we were looking for went?

He asked me how to get
to the Buddhist Temple.

Akio talked at the bar

with man who looked
like Yakuza, and then left.

Well, is the-the
gangster still here?

No. She was afraid
to come until he left.

Does she know who he is?

No, but she knows where
Akio may have gone.

Where?

He asked her how to
get to Buddhist Temple.

♪♪

I thought I heard someone.

What is it you want?

Excuse me, do you speak English?

Yes.

We were told a man came
here about an hour ago.

His name is Akio Iguchi.

I heard no one come in.

Akio!

Hara-kiri, huh?

I didn't think they
did that anymore.

According to Tami,

it's still the only
honorable form of suicide.

Well, if we get
positive identification,

I guess that does it.

Well, give me a ring if
you find out, will you?

Don't I always?

I have a question, Joe.

What's that?

When body is found,

do police not send men to look
for fingerprints and et cetera?

They'll be here soon, Tami.

Not so fast this time.

Lieutenant Malcolm
is very intelligent man,

but not brilliant.

No?

It was not hara-kiri.

It was murder.

- What makes you so sure?
- Before hara-kiri,

man with Samurai traditions

must fulfill
certain obligations.

Such as?

Must explain to family
why he's going to do it,

to family and other loved ones.

He would have told
his loved one, Midori.

What makes you think
she was his loved one?

Impossible for
friendship with Midori

not to ripen into love.

Well, we'd better go see Midori.

Oh, no.

Not proper to
intrude on her sorrow.

But we have to, Tami.

She might know something.

Yes, but not tonight.

First you must
take me some place

where I can buy her present.

- A present?
- Custom.

We give presents
when somebody dies.

Oh.

Uh, maybe you'd
like to see her alone?

No, no. Two who go
on a journey together

should remain
together until it is over.

Forgive the intrusion,

Midori Nakano-san.

I offer heartfelt condolences
and this trivial gift.

I accept with warmest thanks.

I offer my deepest
sympathy, Midori Nakano-san,

and this trivial gift.

I accept with warmest thanks.

I regret to speak
of matters like this,

but I think it was
murder, not hara-kiri.

Murder?

Do you, too, believe that
Akio-san was murdered?

I believe he might
have been, yes.

Think hard, please.

You must tell us
everything you know.

I know very little.

Akio-san telephoned
me from motel

to tell me that he got away
from the man at the airport.

There was only one man?

He didn't say.

All he told me was that
the only way to atone

was to get back
the attaché case.

Can you think of anyone else
that me might have phoned?

No.

Could he have called somebody
at the consulate, maybe?

Unlikely.

But he did owe them
an explanation, didn't he?

It would have been too shameful

for him to confess that
he had been unworthy

of the trust placed in him.

We will leave you
now, Midori-san.

You know, Tami, this whole
thing could have been a setup.

A setup?

Yeah, something planned
to look like something else.

Ah, setup.

By whom?

Akio.

But why?

A fake kidnapping maybe,
so that he could get his share

of the money without
being suspected.

You think money was
in the attaché case?

A diplomatic courier doesn't
have to go through customs.

For all we know,
he could have been

bringing in the
emperor's jewels or drugs.

I cannot believe this of Akio.

Well, let's see
what we can find out

at the consulate, huh?

CROWD: Cotter, stay home!

Cotter, stay home!
Cotter, stay home...

Who is Cotter?

Big industrialist from up north.

I thought the
Japanese loved him.

Ah, James Cotter,

who was at Tokyo
Trade Conference?

Yeah, he's been plugging hard

for cooperation with
Japanese industry.

He's just been named
U.S. Consul in Osaka.

Very popular man in Japan.

Except with
fanatical nationalists.

Is that the driver

who was sent to the
airport to pick up the courier?

Yes. I saw his
picture in newspaper.

- Pardon me?
- Yes?

I would like to ask
you a few questions

about the day the
courier was kidnapped.

Was there another man

with the one who took
the limousine from you?

Only one man.

Excuse me.

Well, let's see what
we can find out inside.

Anyone there you
do favors for, Joe?

No, this is one place I missed.

Maybe make note.

I realize that the contents

of the attaché case
are confidential,

but if there was something in it

that might provide a
motive for murder...

Nothing was in the case
except official communiques.

But how is it
possible to be sure?

The case was not delivered.

The consul has authorized
me to tell you it was delivered.

It was found outside
the consulate door

the morning after the
courier disappeared.

Maybe there was
something in the case

that was taken out
before it was left here.

Of course, that is possible.

But then why would he
bother to deliver it at all?

Oya on.

Pardon?

Oya on means
obligations to our parents

of which it is said,

"One never repays
one ten-thousandth."

Akio brought
shame to his parents.

He was overwhelmed
by remorse, so he...

Perhaps I should
explain the difference

between on and gimu.

Tami, excuse me,

but could you just
kind of sum it up?

Overwhelmed by remorse,

Akio left the attaché
case at the consulate.

And then atoned by
committing hara-kiri.

Very interesting theory, Joe.

But since Akio did
not fulfill his obligations

to family and loved ones,

I still do not believe
it was hara-kiri.

And you have an obligation
to find out who killed him.

You are beginning
to think like Japanese.

Oya no on.

No, gimu.

You see, with Akio it was ko,

with me it is nimmu.

All right, Tami,
assuming it was murder,

where do you want to look next?

Must have time to think, Joe.

Okay, let's think
separately until 6:00.

I'll pick you up for dinner.

Many thanks for driving
me to hotel, my dear friend.

♪♪

I wouldn't want it
known in Little Tokyo

I used violence, Joe.

I won't tell a soul.

What did you use...
Karate or kung fu?

To talk about use of
force is in poor taste.

Let's see if we
can get him to talk.

Come on.

I thought a friend of mine
lived in that hotel room.

Oh, yeah, and you were waiting
for him with a gun in your hand.

I didn't even know
the gun was there.

Thanks, Larry.

Well, Mr. Pike, it seems
that your fingerprints match

a set of prints we
found last night on a...

I was in Long Beach last night.

I got witnesses.

On a window of a Buddhist temple

in which a man was found dead.

More brilliant than I thought.

A man named Akio Iguchi.

Never heard of him.

Let me refresh your memory.

You talked to him
at the Kyoto Club.

Hey, now I remember.

I was walking past
that temple yesterday.

A little guy said a window was
stuck and would I help open it?

Lieutenant, may I
make observation?

Go ahead.

Hara-kiri has many traditions...
The way sword is held,

the way person is
dressed, and et cetera.

All this must conform
to ancient custom.

And this hara-kiri didn't?

No, did.

Point being that Mr. Pike here

would not know
how to arrange it.

Must have been done by Japanese.

Which lets me out.

May I make suggestion?

Sure, why not?

Point finger at guilty man

and may be rewarded
with lighter sentence.

No deals.

You take your chances.

But the D.A. won't lean too hard

on the man who didn't do it.

Would he?

Who did it?

His name is Takeshi,

Yorio Takeshi.

Where could we find him?

1721 South Ruxton.

I didn't know what it was
all about in the beginning.

It just looked like a way to
pick up some easy money.

What was it all about?

Takeshi belonged to some
crazy outfit in Tokyo called Terror.

He was sent here to kill a
guy named James Cotter.

Hard to understand.

Not for me, Joe.

I understand every word.

Very fine recording.

Aha, Japanese equipment.

What's hard to understand, Tami,

is why they sent a man
all the way from Japan.

Terror outfit probably
has no members here.

Yeah, but Pike said they
have an undercover man

working at the consulate.

And all he knows is
what Takeshi told him.

Why would Takeshi lie to Pike?

"Crazy" means
"lunatic," does it not?

Something like that.

Lunatics do things
that make no sense.

A government agent
in Tokyo found out

why Takeshi was sent here.

A tip-off to the L.A. consul
was in the attaché case,

and an agent working
undercover in Tokyo

passed the word on to Takeshi.

And that's why he
wanted the case?

Yeah, so nobody here would know

Takeshi was out to get Cotter.

Excuse me, Joe.

That part is hard to understand

because consul
did get attaché case.

He did?

Yes, and if clue was in case,

consul would notify
police, which he didn't.

Well, I think I've got
an answer to that, Tami.

What, please?

Takeshi took the
tip-off out of the case

before he dropped
it off at the consulate.

Ah, and this he
did not tell Mr. Pike.

Right.

Mannix.

We got Takeshi, Joe.

And is there an undercover
man at the consulate?

Takeshi won't talk.

Art, if I were you,
I'd play it safe

and give Cotter
some extra protection.

Joe, sometimes
we get ideas, too.

Cotter's car is headed up
the coast with a police escort.

Very good.

But Cotter isn't in it.

Well, that's even better.

The consulate chauffeur
is driving him to the airport.

His private plane is waiting.

Nice going, Art.

They got Takeshi.

Splendid.

Assassination would
been most harmful

to relations between
Japan and U.S. of A.

What is it, Joe?

You do not look happy.

Case is over.

The consulate chauffeur.

Something is wrong?

Now, he said that the man
who hijacked the limousine

was all alone.

Ah, and we know now it was
Takeshi and Pike... two men.

The only reason the
chauffeur would have lied

is because he's
the undercover man.

♪♪

Have a nice trip, sir.

♪♪

Keep both hands on the wheel.

Your assignment was
to kill Cotter, wasn't it?

That is ridiculous.

Why'd you let him get away?

I was only doing my job...
Driving him to the plane.

Unless you planted
something on the plane.

Nimmu, huh?

Hang onto him, Tami,
there's a bomb on that plane.

Get out of the plane;
there's a bomb aboard.

Quick, get out.

Hurry up.

Far out, Joe.

And the chauffeur has
made full confession.

The kidnapping of
Akio was a-a setup.

Thank you very much
for coming here to tell me.

Would you please
give my condolences

and this trivial gift to
Akio-san's parents?

Yes, tomorrow.

I will remember you
both with great warmth.

As we shall remember
you, Midori Nakano-san.

Sayonara.

Meeting is the
beginning of parting.

Parting doesn't have
to be permanent.

Maybe make note.
