(The previous day) will be meeting with" "(December 21 , 2009) the Italian Prime Minister." "2:00 on December 26." "Soccer tickets?" "Got them." "He'll enter the stadium at the press gate." "Good work." "He's an avid AS Roma fan." "He's likely to cut the talks short to make it to the game." "No doubt, Mr. Ambassador." "Inform the press, Tanimoto." "The minister will give me hell if I don't." "is there anything else?" "Yes, Miss...?" "Adachi. I'm an intern." "The minister's wife wanted the best gelato in Italy." "I narrowed it down to 3 stores." "I was hoping to get your opinions." "And pick a winner." "They can't help you." "Why not?" ""They need more info..." "like her favorite Italian restaurant in Tokyo."" "Good idea." "I'll reserve Ferragamo." "On Christmas Eve?" "No way." "It's the only day she can shop." "Extravagant." "All embassies do this kind of thing." "It guarantees us a good budget." "I see." "Aren't you supposed to go pick up our new secretary?" "Oops." "No answer." "He must be ticked." "Excuse me!" "Mr. Kuroda?" "I'm so sorry!" "Are the airport and embassy in different time zones?" "Sorry. I'm the new intern..." "Kanae Adachi." "Born April 7, 1984." "How...?" "What's the most common crime in this country?" "Pickpockets." "You got it back!" "?" "Yes, we've arrived safe and sound thanks to you, Mr. Fujii." "It's crazy at Christmas time." "So I really appreciate your getting us tickets and a hotel." "Hold on." "Madoka, it's Mr. Fujii." "Say thank you." "Thank you for your help." "Cut that out!" "Thank him properly." "Sorry about that." "We've secured a residence until you settle on an apartment." "Here's a list of possibilities." "Please." "Also, if you need a maid, just inform the Secretariat." "All listings are near the embassy, but proximity's not required." "Counselor Nishino says you're free to go a little over budget." "Spending money is a diplomat's perk." "Nothing." "You'll be buying a car, right?" "Any brand is fine, but one staffer is selling a new Alfa Romeo." "Would you like to see it?" "AMALFl" "(December 22, 2009)" ""Embassy of Japan"" "I'm Kuroda. I start working here today." "We've been expecting you." "Prior to the G8 meeting, Minister Kawagoe will say a few words... at an informal get-together with the Italian agriculture minister." "is the speech ready?" "Not until his arrival probably." "Have Tokyo hurry." "The Italian side needs to see it." "I see." "Anything else?" "First days are confusing, Mr. Kuroda." "Please feel free to ask questions." "Our minister arrives tomorrow." "Though we had hoped to have you start work after the new year." "I'm afraid we need you now." "Can we limit the number of guests and media at our reception party?" "Explain." "With G8 preparations, we'll be low on security and guest care staff." "The minister's making his speech on boosting development aid." "Recipient nation reps will be there." "It's prime international exposure." "All of which will backfire if we fail to secure our guests' safety." "Valid point, but..." "Poor Counselor Nishino." "He's spent 6 months on that reception only to have some newbie crush it." "I don't like him, either." "You've got to admit, though, Mr. Kuroda's right." "Security staff already complains of work overload." "Plus, he's kind of cute." "You're kidding, right?" "I'm serious." "He only stated the obvious." "Pizza's coming." "Looks wonderful!" "Our job is to use up the budget." "You're a model diplomat." "How're you getting along?" "Like a charm." "You do great work but your communication skills..." "Any new info?" "fbi thinks it'll be a pleasure crime." "Looks like you'll all be working over the holidays." "I'll do my best to keep our minister out of target range." "There could be an informant in the embassy." "Keep a low profile until after the G8." "Understood." "And Kuroda..." "consider settling down in Tokyo." "Your name came up for Counter-terrorism Chief." "I'll consider it after Rome." "Same as always." "Eating lunch alone?" "This is Italy." "What brings you?" "You're being here means something big is going down." "So what gives?" "Nothing." "Your writing's too provocative." "That's why the sell." "Especially about the minister." "Remember that girl I set you up with in the lvory Coast?" "Yeah, a chief secretary with no clue her boss was being blackmailed." "Then how about a police chief secretary that looks like Monica Belluci?" "You never change." "Watch it!" "What's wrong?" "A Japanese girl's gotten lost at the Musei Capitolini." "Lost?" "Everyone's too busy to..." "Your Italian's good enough to deal with a lost child." "You go." "Wait!" "Yes?" "On second thought, don't go alone." "Could you repeat that?" "A little slower, please!" "Mr. Kuroda!" "Mr. Kuroda!" "Please translate." "Your daughter didn't report to any staff." "She must've just left." "She would never leave without me." "If she's 8, it's possible..." "Not with her!" "Then why'd you take your eyes off her?" "Please ask the police to look!" "For a lost child?" "We've got to do something!" "Surveillance cameras." "Excuse me." "There!" "Roll it." "Madoka... needed to go to the bathroom." "Then I got a call from my friend." "I searched every stall." "And called her cell phone." "Where could she have gone?" "Rewind." "Start there." "Madoka!" "Hello, Madoka?" "Where are you?" "What's wrong?" "It's Italian." "Hello?" "Who're you?" "Police?" "No." "Then who?" "The father." "I have your daughter." "Prepare 100,000 euro." "Go to the police, and she dies." "I'll call again tomorrow." "Where is Madoka?" "She's been kidnapped." "Why'd you tell the police?" "They said they'd kill her!" "Direct negotiations with kidnappers is forbidden by Italian law." "Ms. Yagami..." "Most kidnappings here are perpetrated by organized crime." "Paying ransom is viewed as... funding the mafia." "The exchange of ransom money is against the law." "Screw the law!" "This is my daughter's life!" "Don't worry." "We'll get your daughter back... right?" "I don't know." "Mr. Kuroda." "I'm Nishino from the Japanese embassy." "Ms. Yagami!" "What did you do?" "She's just understandably upset." "This is Inspector Bartolini." "He's heading the investigation." "Japanese is no problem." ""Captain Tsubasa" is my favorite show." "Mr. Fujii?" "It's Saeko." "Hi!" "Did you find a restaurant?" "They must be packed." "Why not come to London?" "Spend Christmas here." "Mr. Fujii." "What?" "You said you're her father?" "Yes." "Why'd you involve yourself?" "100,000 euro?" "I was told not to prepare any ransom." "It's illegal there." "Yes, but if I don't pay..." "Stay calm." "Let's prepare the money, just in case." "Just lend me half." "I'll provide the rest." "What?" "Madoka's surgery money?" "I've no choice!" "I wish you'd let me help." "The police are monitoring the kidnapper's calls." "They'll occupy a room across from your hotel." "The kidnappers could be monitoring, so no police contact." "What about the ransom money?" "Hand them this." "This is a GPS-equipped transmitter." "Keep it on you." "Also... I don't have time for that." "What is it?" "They want Mr. Kuroda to stay with you at the hotel." "The kidnappers believe he is the father." "The G8 summit is in 2 days." "Foreign ministers have begun arriving for their G8 summit in 2 days." "Russia's minister Marx is expected tomorrow." "Japanese Foreign Minister Kawagoe, the day after." "Japan and Italy plan to announce a joint aid package for the Valkanian Republic... which is drawing considerable attention." "Now for some Christmas news." "Kuroda here." "Why're you playing father?" ""Because the kidnapper suspected I was police."" "What about the G8?" "I voiced my concern about security." "I don't think there's an informant." ""l'll coordinate everything with the embassy."" "But embassies always hate you." "I'll call again later." "(December 23, 2009)" "Hello?" "Excuse me." "You have the money?" "I do." "You haven't gone to the police?" "'Course not." "Termini Station in 10." "10 minutes?" "Platform 3, A Zone." "10 minutes are up!" "It's been 10 minutes!" "Madoka!" ""She's fine." "Today's newspaper."" "Castle St. Angelo in 15 minutes." "The Vatican." "I'll carry that." "Excuse us." "Sorry." "Miss..." "Leave her alone." "They're pickpockets." "Why choose here?" "They'd surely check for police first." "But these are all tourist sites." ""lt's like they want the police to mix in the crowd."" ""Trinita dei Monti church, Piazza di Spagna. 20 minutes."" "Mother." "Ms. Yagami!" "No!" "Don't come out!" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "Mr. Kuroda!" "Mr. Kuroda!" "Hello?" ""Fake money." "Police idea?"" "No." "Deal's off." "Wait!" "I was hired to grab the bag!" "What'd they say?" "The deal is off." "A quick resolution to the kidnapping now seems unlikely." "And the minister arrives tonight." "If this hits the media, it could undermine our G8 plans." "We must avoid that at all costs." "Make sure the Italian police keep a tight lid on this." "The problem... is Mr. Kuroda." "If it gets out one of our people is involved..." ""our accountability will surely be questioned."" "Welcome back, Sir." "Thank you." "Welcome back." "Are you all right?" "Where is my Madoka?" "A full day's passed since she was taken from me." "Why'd the police have to show up?" "That purse snatcher wasn't one of the kidnappers." "What's the point of grabbing him if we didn't even have ransom money?" "The police are more interested in an arrest than saving Madoka's life." "I don't believe anyone anymore." "Ms. Yagami." "It was you who went to the police!" "Ms. Yagami!" "Saeko?" "Saeko!" "So you're husband and wife?" "Even as a front, I'm envious." "4 years ago, I fell ill." "I checked into a hospital in Japan." "She was my nurse." "I see." "Obstinate, isn't she?" "She's not a leaner." "Ever since her husband passed away." "She feels she needs to be able to provide for everything." "Even Madoka's surgery." "Surgery?" "Madoka!" "Saeko!" "Madoka!" "Saeko!" "Easy." "Are you all right?" "Mr. Fujii?" "Why're you here?" "Cause I was worried." "Where's my cell phone?" "They haven't called?" "No." "Don't give up hope." "Thank you for coming." "London's not far." ""Imperial Security Service"" "Mr. Kuroda." "Please do all you can." "Take care." "(December 24, 2009)" "Where are you going?" ""How will you explain your sneaking off like this?"" "I don't know." "I just know sitting here won't save Madoka." "Ms. Yagami!" "I know where to go." "I can't. I'm suddenly swamped." "What's going on?" "The Russian foreign minister changed his dinner party with Minister Kawagoe." "And sightseeing plans." "Schedule's changed?" "Yeah, I've been up all night." "Tokyo wants updates." "Show me the new plan." "No time." "Everyone's out rescheduling." "And look up something for me." "Mr. Kuroda." "You're not listening!" "Would you take this please?" "Termini?" "Okay, hold on." "Surveillance cameras?" "Every place we've been to has had them." "The purse-snatcher says he met the kidnappers outside the church." "So they're on camera?" "A purse-snatcher?" "Yes, right outside." "Can we view the tape?" "If you have police authorization." "But otherwise, no." "Father... what does that say?" ""The Lord's door is open to all."" "There." "Our purse-snatcher." "He should make contact with them." "In the church?" "Here's a chair." "Thanks." "He's talking to someone." "He's being beckoned." "Someone behind the column?" "No one's coming out." "Same as the museum." "Someone who should be there... isn't." "They flickered." "The candle flames." "As if someone walked past." "This is our guy." "But..." "Could someone have tampered with this tape?" "Neither are answering their cell phones." "They'll come crying back." "How so?" "When they see how powerless they are." "This all?" "Yes." "Sure?" "Yeah." "The museum and every place they've sent you to have contracts with... the Minerva Security company." "Your hotel, too." "I had a hard time getting this." ""Security companies don't disclose their clients."" "They store original data in their central computer for 10 years." "Original?" "It's worth a visit." "Counselor." "Can I speak to you, Mr. Kuroda?" "Have the police meet us there with a search warrant." "But my poor Italian..." "Can't be your excuse forever." "We've received a complaint." "The Italian police reported your actions to the lnterior Ministry." "They've agreed to settle this discreetly." "That's good." "It's really my fault." "I'm the one who sent you to the museum when I shouldn't have." "I hear the minister's schedule has changed. ls security in place?" "If you're so worried about the minister, why're you doing this?" "Diplomats aren't investigators." "Stepping on police toes isn't going to do Ms. Yagami any favors, either." "I'm sorry." "I'll cover for you as best as I can." "But at this rate, your days in Rome are numbered." ""No, I won't be lenient." "Bring Kuroda and the woman."" "Inspector!" "The kidnappers!" "Trace the signal." "It's them?" "Hello?" "Let's try again." "Board the A1 train to Naples." "Bring your wife." "What do you want with her?" "This time, I deal only with her." "She doesn't speak Italian." ""l'll call about the place of exchange later."" "Wait." "Put my daughter on." "If not, then no deal." "Well?" "Shut up and bring the money." "We traced the signal!" "200 km southeast of Rome" "Me alone?" "Mr. Kuroda?" "That's strange." "What?" "Why wouldn't he put her on?" "What are you saying?" "Say something." "Dario and I will join Kuroda." ""Nicola and David will recruit local police help."" "We'll nab him in Amalfi." "Madoka." "Today's paper." "I'm sorry for causing such trouble." "I should never have thought of bringing my daughter to Italy." "She has severe retinopathy." "Surgery was planned upon our return." "A difficult surgery." "Italy is the only trip her father and I took before she was born." "I wanted her to share the same memory." "I'll be waiting nearby." "It's real." "Spending money is a diplomatic perk." "We've got cars on each alley." "He should flee into one of them." "Don't get antsy." "Give him room." "Where was the girl's photo taken?" "Naples police are checking." "Kuroda... you say someone's tampered with Minerva Security video tape?" "And what they want is not the money." "You said so before this action?" "Today, we arrest him." "Sit tight." "It's just a pick-up." "And southern men suck at it." "Kuroda!" "Kuroda!" "Let go of me!" "Kuroda!" ""The local police have found the perp's hideout!"" "And the child?" "Bye." "Same place?" "Absolutely." "Let's close the window." "Kidnapper might return." "Coming." "is this your daughter's?" "No!" "She's the mother." "They're still taking prints." "Confirm the items without touching." "Don't touch!" "Termini Station." "Piazza di Spagna." ""Pins on all the places he's sent us to."" "Put that back?" ""This place was leased to a Minerva employee."" "Just like you said." "I bet you feel smart." "Warrant?" "It's coming." "They may still be in town." "You'd best stay here tonight." "Inspector." "I'll call in the morning." "You and your "wife" get some rest."
