The arrests in Hawaii

are part of an ongoing
yakuza operation in the States.

Did anyone know how extensively

the yakuza were operating in the States?

I think we were a little surprised,

to be honest.

Are there more arrests coming?

[CHUCKLES] Dude.

I'm not...

Dude, you're on background.

You can answer.

Okay. [CHUCKLES]

All right. First time doing this.

Yes, there are more arrests coming.

Would the government consider
asking for the extradition

of a yakuza in Japan if they could prove

that he'd committed a crime in the U.S.?

Don't know.
That's way above my pay grade.

Did the U.S. arrests come from tips

from Japanese law enforcement?

I think you guys should
talk to Lynn about that.

She's full FBI and a lawyer too, so...

So you know nothing.

You just conned us
out of a gin and tonic.

Jake, sorry to keep you waiting.

- Come on in.

Take a seat.

Good news for you guys these days.

Yeah, thank you.

Eight arrests.

Yakuza soldiers from a Tokyo-based gumi,

the Miura-gumi.

We've been on them for a long time.

What are they being charged with?

Money laundering, extortion, weapons.

If you give me a couple hours,

I'll get you the official list
and indictments.

That would be great.

And who over here did you guys
collaborate with on it?

I mean, it's not like
the Tokyo police or the NPA

are known for playing well
with others, right?

Jake, I'd be very bad at my job

if I were to say anything negative

about our domestic
law enforcement partners.

Point taken.

But off the record,
we did this on our own.

And there's more coming down the pike.

- Well, I appreciate your time.
- Mm-hmm.

Actually, do you mind if I throw

a couple hypotheticals at you
for this other story I'm working on?

Sure.

If a Japanese national entered the U.S.,

committed a crime,
and then returned to Japan,

would the FBI try
to have him extradited?

Possibly.

Depends on the seriousness of the crime.

What about fraud?

Jumping the line
to get an organ transplant

ahead of American citizens.

Oh, this hypothetical
just got very specific.

What exactly are we talking about here?

I think Shinzo Tozawa
illegally entered the U.S.,

used a fake name
to get a liver transplant

at a hospital in Minnesota,

then came back to Japan.

All right. Give me what you got.

I'll call D.C. when they wake up.

Jake, Lynn Oberfeld.

Lynn. Thanks for getting back.

Listen, it's been a bit
of a long and winding road

with D.C. and then Minneapolis
and then Atlanta,

but I think I have clarity on this.

Atlanta? All right, what do you got?

The Minneapolis field office
pulled some strings.

But Jake, please, this has got to be

a million miles off the record.

Yeah, of course.

Because I'm violating
about a hundred different

patient privacy laws here.

But yeah, I found out what happened.

A patient with the name Spencer Tanaka

did get a liver transplant
on the date you found.

But I had the Atlanta
field office run it down

to make sure it wasn't a cover.

Mr. Tanaka is legit.

He's an American citizen, male, 61.

Recuperating at home in Georgia
with a shiny new liver.

And this Spencer Tanaka,
he's just a regular American?

Born and bred.

Maruyama-san.

That story gift I mentioned earlier?

I really need to give it to you now.

[SIGHS]

Tozawa leaves Japan for months.

No one knows where he is.

While he's gone,
a man matching his description

gets a liver transplant in Minneapolis.

The surgeon who did the transplant,

he's wearing the same $250,000
Vacheron Constantin watch

that Tozawa wears.

I just got off the phone
with the FBI rep here,

Lynn Oberfeld.

She tried to tell me that
that guy who got the transplant

is an American schoolteacher.

Except the doctor
who did the transplant,

he told me his patient
didn't speak any English

and was covered in tattoos.

Why do you think she lied to you?

Maybe Tozawa bribed her, right?

That must be how he got into the U.S.
and onto an operating table.
