Jake?

There is no story here.

Wait, that's not why I called.

I mean, it's not the
only reason why I called.

I was concerned.

Why?

Why?

Look, all of this is off the record.

I just...

Things are going
to get bad, Meicho.

What do you mean?

Stay away.

Don't call me again.

We need an angle for second-day coverage

of this sh**ting.

We have to run a piece tomorrow.

The police have released
the names of the victims.

One of them was the architect
for the new station project.

Go to the architect's business.

- See what you can learn.
- Hai.

Kurihira, follow up with the victims.

See if you can get a firsthand account.

What about the club owner?

Isn't she your friend?

She must know something.

You know the owner?

Yeah, just socially.

But shouldn't we be looking at Tozawa?

Find out what she knows.

Masahiro Ohno.

That was his name.

You were there with him, right?

Yeah.

He was sitting right across
from me when it happened.

Those men weren't there for him.

They were there to k*ll Ishida,
and Tozawa sent them.

This is only the first step
in whatever he's planning.

And if he's going to be stopped,

I need to connect him to those sh**t.

If you saw anything that can
help me, now's my chance.

I saw a tattoo...

On the wrist of one of the sh**t.

It's a kind of Daruma.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I caught a glimpse of it when he was

pointing his g*n at Ishida.

OK.

Good. This is really good.

When I went to give
my statement last night,

Tozawa was there.

They took him in for questioning?

I don't know.

But he looked right at me,

and he said my name.

Jake, he knows my f*cking name.

There are people that
I am responsible for now.

So if anything happens to me...

What do you want? No more shabu.

No. Uh, listen.

I'm sorry about all that.

It was...

It was deceptive and cruel.

Maybe I'm the one who should apologize.

I was an addict.

I abused you and your friend.

But I'm trying to be better,
to make amends to those I hurt.

I've changed.

No more yakuza.

- Better life.
- That's great.

Really.

But I need your help from your old life.

You heard about that
yakuza sh**t in Akasaka?

The owner of that club
was my friend who you met.

One of the sh**t had this tattoo.

I need to know who it is.

Yeah, I know this work.

Is it Tozawa-gumi?

Nah.

I'm familiar with the men who had these.

You said men?

Yes, there are two of them.

What am I looking at?

The guys who did the Ishida
hit had matching tattoos.

Two brothers.

Your friend the club owner
told you this?

A different source.
He says they were Hishinuma-kai.

Maruyama-san, I can
connect them to Tozawa.

We can take this guy down
with this story.

I just need time.

I need the confirmation by tonight.

Otherwise, we run a different follow-up.

I think Kurihira had something.

I'm telling you, Maruyama-san,

Tozawa is the story.

You can pick up the trail

when you get back from the States.

You fly out
tomorrow night, right?

I can't leave in the middle of all this.

Jake, it is your father's 60th birthday.

Life matters too.

Maruyama-san, this is my life.

I got to go.
I'll check in with you later.

- Stay out of this.

You had no right to bring her into this.

What's going on?

You approved this?

It is her club.

She is the story.

No, she's not!

Kurihira is right.

Your friendship with
the subject is irrelevant.

Her name is Samantha.

And you should have checked with me.

I checked my facts.

Your friend is no saint,

and everyone seems to know it but you...

- Jake!
- Jake!

Control yourself!

My friend is not the f*cking story!

Tozawa is!

It must be so good to live in a world

that revolves around you, Jake-san.

This isn't about me.

Correct.

This is about the Meicho doing its job.

If you have a problem with that,

you need to work somewhere else.
