"(New York)" "(Johnny Hayward)" "(Japan Air Lines)" "OK?" "Please put on the jacket." "(Harlem)" "Wait a bit, buddy." "What do you mean by "former tenant"?" "Where are you going, boy?" "Where did you get the money to buy all those?" "I'm getting out of this garbage shack." "Hey Johnny!" "Where are you going, boy?" "Kiss me." "What are you saying?" "Kiss me." "Mama." "Hallelujah!" "The Proof of the Man" "Kyoko..." "Kyoko Yasugi's Fashion Show" "We've reached 42nd floor." "We've reached 42nd floor." "Observation deck." "We've reached the top floor, sir." "Si-to-ha." "Take the elevator." "Yes." " Yes." "Is there a staircase here?" " Yes." "Where?" "Miyatake, come here." " Yes." "Show the detective to the stairs." "This way please." "Excuse me." "It's a tough job being a detective." "Thank you..." "Who's the victim?" "H is passport." "He's American." "Johnny Hayward." "Born on 28th October, 1950." "Mr. Detective, could we take a break?" "We still have a long way to go." "Mr. Detective." "We need to wait for the autopsy to know the details." "Internal bleeding of the chest, he died from suffocation." "Mr. Detective, I can't take it." "Dying here." "Can't take it anymore..." "Go and report that it's fine here." " Yes." "Wait, who are you?" "Can't you see my badge?" "Munesue from Kojimachi Police Station." "The victim's called Johnny Hayward, he's Black." "Have you heard of this name?" "No, and he's not one of the models." "Maybe he's a guest at the fashion show." "He said "si-to-ha", and fell." "Si-to-ha?" "Si-to-ha?" "A man from New York called Johnny Hayward was murdered." "Do you girls happen to know him?" "No..." "H is head was down, and couldn't stand up straight." "I thought he's drunk." "Sorry, I didn't catch your name." "Takashi Niimi." "Where do you work, Mr. Niimi?" "I'm a manager at Toyo Technology." "And this is?" "My wife." "This should be the crime scene." "Alright, let's split up and look." " Yes." "Check this out, Chief." "Isn't this a straw hat?" "Hold on; straw hat..." "The victim said "si-to-ha" before he died, maybe he meant straw hat." "That's possible." "Si-to-ha, straw hat." "Are you sure?" "The victim walked from here to the hotel." "Looks like a straw hat." "The victim was stabbed on the chest, and things got unclear." "To him, that looks like a straw hat." "It's raining." "Let's try to find any evidence before the rain gets heavier." "Hurry." " Yes." "Mr. Driver" "Please stop at the lights up ahead." "Sure." "It's raining, let me give you a lift home." "No." "What if someone spots us?" "Naomi." "Naomi." "Idiot." "Could you turn back there?" "Hold tight, stupid." "Naomi." "I think we should express ourselves, enjoy the fun in fashion." "Your design has lots of charisma." "You think?" "I'm just bold in using prime colours." "I heard you got inspiration from the pictures drawn by your son in his childhood." "Yes." "Children have a fresh outlook." "Today we've invited your son." "Welcome." "What do you think of your mother's designs?" "I never expected her thinking to be so youthful." "Frankly, I'm a bit shocked." "Shocked?" "Talking about shock, there was a murder last night, when you were holding your fashion show." "You must be shocked." "Tsuyuki will now give us a full report." "The victim was Johnny Hayward, he was born in New York in Showa 25th year." "This is his photograph." "He arrived Japan on 24th April;" "three days later became his last night." "He was murdered at Asakasa's Royal Hotel." "After being stabbed on the chest, he walked from Shimizudani Park to the 42nd Floor of Royal Hotel." "Why would he do that?" "According to sources, he can't forget about a straw hat." "This is the straw hat we found at Shimizudani Park." "The Royal Hotel looks like a straw hat at night." "Also, before his death, he said "si-to-ha"" "that's "straw hat"." "At this point, we are still not sure what's his connection with the straw hat." "The victim was holding another special item, this is it." "But of course this is another copy, it's "Yaso Saijo's poem collection"" "published in Showa 22nd year." "Hello, studio." "I'm watching your show." " Yes." "I saw the victim last night at Shimizudani Park." "And your name is?" "I work as a waiter at Shinjuku's Aisa cafe." "Get the cars ready." " Yes." "Move away..." "I guess it was around seven, seven thirty." "We wanted to take a break at the park." "Hey!" "Leave us alone." "Si-to-ha." "We thought he's drunk." "Yes." "Did you see anyone else?" "When we walked across the Benkei Bridge three minutes before" "We saw a woman walking out of the park, got into her car and drove away." "What kind of a woman?" "Age and dress?" "She was wearing an evening dress." "But it's too dark, I couldn't see properly." "What's the make of the car?" "License plate?" "It's a white Crown." "I'm not sure about the license plate." "You're home." " I'm home." "You're back." "Morning." "Sit down, Kyohei." "You look serious, what's wrong?" "Do you remember this vase?" "Why did you take things from home and sell to the antique shops?" "What's the difference between you and a thief?" "Kyohei." "You can just tell me if you need money." "Why resort to such stuff?" "What was that look?" "Say what's on your mind." "Stand still, why do you always run?" "That's why I said you're useless." "All you do is lecture me!" "I've had enough." "Kyohei." "If I was a thief, then you must be a robber!" "Politicians are robbers!" "Even this vase, wasn't it a bribe from someone?" "How can you be so rude to your father?" "He's not qualified to be a father." "He has a bunch of mistresses and children outside, why does he think he can lecture me?" "Kyohei, you shouldn't say that." "Mum, you're low." "You know he is having an affair, and you still wouldn't let go." "You're protecting yourself, I guess." "Kyohei, criticising others doesn't mean you are right." "Where's this bike from?" "It's Katsu's." "The papers." "Don't worry, no news about that." "I dropped your pocket watch on the road though." "Don't give me that look!" "I panicked." "Hop on." "Your mum will lecture you?" "Shut up, hop on." "Where are we going?" "Find the pocket watch, before someone else does." "(Junko Bar)" "Welcome." "What's wrong?" "Naomi didn't come home last night." "Though she comes home late sometimes, but she's never spent the night outside." "Naomi took a day off yesterday." "How's that possible?" "Around 5pm yesterday, she said she's going to work." "You tell him, Kimiko." "Yes, I remember." "She called around six, and said she's not feeling well, needed a day off." "I took the call." "Welcome..." "Naomi said these are gifts from a client." "Which client?" "I'm not sure about her relationship with the clients off work." "You would know." "Who's the client Naomi is especially close with?" "Especially close..." "I guess not." "What do you think, Mamasan?" "Yes, Naomi is a decent woman." "She's always been very proper at work." "That's right." "Mamasan." "I'm Naomi's husband." "Your investigation reports on the victim's belongings." "Kusaba, you first." "Yes." "About the murder weapon, an Arrow brand fruit knife, three thousand were produced in Showa 51 st year." "As for the straw hat, we know it's made in Japan." "But we haven't found out who's the manufacturer." "It should be a product in Showa 22nd year." "And one more item," "Yaso Saijio's collected poems, same as the straw hat, it was produced in Showa 22nd year." "It's out of print." "End of report." "A piece of updated news regarding the straw hat." "The customs at Haneda Airport remembered that he placed the straw hat in a black box." "They were curious as to why the victim took the hat so seriously." "It's likely that he brought the book from U. S. Too." "But we still don't know why he brought such things over." "Report to me right away, should you find anything regarding the hat and the book." "As for the white Crown, there are 300, 000 of those manufactured." "I'm afraid it's hard to find out the owner." "I plan to set up signs in the area asking locals to provide information regarding the woman and the car." "The victim is not on the list of drug addicts." "And I've talked to some drug addicts and users, no news for now." "I'll keep looking into that, and check if it has anything to do with the Yakuza." "End of report." "Yamaji" " Here." "Report the news from Interpol." "Yes." "Johnny Hayward." "Born on 28th October, 1950 at No. 113, West 125th Street." "H is father Wilshire Hayward, born in 1925, age- 52 years." "Mother was Teresa Nord, she died in 1960." "H is current address is No. 167 East 123rd Street." "That's all." "What a terrible report." "To them, a black guy is nothing!" "May I help you?" "Why don't you stay out of my store, stop bugging me." "Shut up." "Who's hiding in there?" "I don't know." "Get out of here." "Take it easy." "Keep your hands where I can see them, both of you." "Freeze!" "Police!" "Help!" "Someone's trying to kill me." "Detective Ken Shuftan, 27th Precinct." "(27th Precinct)" "What are you doing here?" "Why?" "Since you're here, I want to tell you something." "Interpol reached out to us, the Japanese police wants us to investigate a black guy from Harlem who got a knife stuck into him in Japan." "Where?" "I don't know." "Stomach or belly, what's the difference?" "I meant where did he die?" "In Tokyo." "Can you get somebody else for this?" "Who else can I spare?" "City Hall makes any more cuts, and I'll need to do this myself." "What's the problem?" "It's right on your beat." "Help me out." "Just go talk to them, check it out." "I know how you feel," "I wouldn't want to help them either." "I lost a brother at Pearl Harbour." "Here." "You live here?" "What's it to you?" "Answer the question." "Do you know Johnny Hayward?" "I'm talking to you." "Take your hands off!" "I didn't do nothing to you." "Who's that?" "Police officer." "I'm looking for Mario the Super." "I'm Mario." "Detective Shuftan, 27th Precinct." "Just wanna ask you a couple of questions, have you got a guy named Hayward living here?" "Three flights up on the right at the back, and he hasn't been around for 2, 3 weeks." "Where did he go?" "How should I know?" "Am I supposed to keep a diary about everybody?" "Can I come in for a couple of minutes, I won't take up much time." "Your tenant is dead." "How?" "Somebody killed him in Japan." "Japan?" "Do you have any idea what he's doing over there?" "He was a nice kid." "I mean he's clean, had a job down at the garment centre." "Was he dealing?" "No." "You never know, but I don't think so." "He didn't tell you where he's going?" "Kiss me" "How's that?" "Kiss me, he said he's going there." "That's all he said." "Probably some place in..." "Ohio or somewhere." "(KISS ME)" "If it's a person's name, it could be written out in Kanji like this." "But there isn't a place called "Kiss Me" in Japan." "I've listed all the names with similar pronunciation." "Chiba's Kuju," "Kyoko's Kuju, Osaka's Kizuri," "Ehime's Kisuki" "Shimane's Kisuki six places." "Don't make any mistakes, we just have two weeks left." "Got it." "Teacher, the young master is here." "What are you doing here?" "You gave me a pocket watch for my birthday last year." "The one with the music as alarm?" "Where did you buy it?" "I want to buy another one." "You're here because of that?" "Teacher, your call." "Be right there." "Can we talk at home?" "I don't have time." "I'm running out of time." "Only a ten minute break." "Welcome." "Coffee." " Coming right up." "What's wrong, Kyohei?" "Give me five hundred thousand." "Just five hundred thousand." "What do you need all that cash for?" "I'll give you the money if you have a good reason." "Tell me the truth." "Why?" "What for?" "Explain it..." "You have anything else to say other than those?" "I can't tell you why, but I need the five hundred thousand." "My life depends on it." "I beg you, mum." "Is five hundred thousand enough?" "I'm Niimi." "I'm Oyamada." "You're a cop, I hear?" "What can I do for you?" "Return my wife to me." "I'm Naomi's husband." "I know you two are having an affair." "What nonsense are you talking about?" "You lied to me being a cop." "I don't have time for this." "You checked into a love motel with my wife, under the fake name Kawamura." "Or should I ask the receptionist at the motel to come forward?" "If you confess," "I don't want to blow this up either." "Frankly..." "I can't believe it." "Earlier we'd contact each other once a day." "Since that day, it's already been half a month," "and no news from Naomi." "I thought you found out about us, and locked Naomi at home." "You're saying that the owner of this pocket watch killed my wife?" "We must find this person." "Could you get me that pocket watch?" "I want to give it as a wedding present." "Even I couldn't help it." "I bought four from Europe." "Because it's so rare," "I kept one for myself." "In that case, sell yours to me." "No, I like that a lot." "My mum bought it for Y $350, 000," "I'll pay you Y 500, 000 now." "Sell it to me." "Sorry." "Who's that?" "Detective Shuftan again," "Mario." "I'd like to take a look at Hayward's apartment." "You got a warrant?" "No, but..." "I checked the morgue and missing persons, are you sure his father is dead?" "I ain't sure about anything anymore." "I only know that if you're walking and talking, you're alive." "Looks like Johnny's got some rich friends." "Not that I know of." "Lionel Adams." "5th Avenue... that's an expensive address." "Would you mind waiting a few moments please?" "No, no." "Make it 7: 30," "I'd imagine you'd have everything typed up." "Mr. Shuftan." "I hope not to take up much of your time." "You know a man named John Hayward?" "No." "Never heard of him?" "Black man." "Was he an older man?" "No, he's young." "About 22, 23." "Look, Mister..." "Shuftan." "A couple of weeks ago my chauffeur was on vacation, and I was driving my own car." "As I was turning up Madison Avenue, the light changed." "I started forward and all of a sudden this old black man ran out." "I couldn't stop, I hit him." "I think he deliberately threw himself out." "You know people would do that seeing an expensive car" "I mean, getting hit for a bunch of money." "Did he get badly hurt?" "Not really, he said he had some head pains." "But it's just an excuse I guess." "How much did he ask for?" "I gave him six thousand dollars." "You paid the money to him?" "No, I gave it to his son." "Think carefully." "Was his name Hayward?" "Was it Willy Hayward?" "Yes it was Hayward." "Johnny's father threw himself at a car in order to earn money for his son's trip to Japan?" "You could say that." "But why?" "Why send his son to Japan?" "Chief, what did Willy say?" "It's too bad, Willy is unaccounted for." "He was in the hospital after the accident." "But he's been missing since Johnny's death in Japan." "That's clear enough." "Willie knows why his son got killed." "But he's trying to hide the secret." "That's why he's been hiding." "Munesue, stop speculating, let's hear out New York police's report first." "Willie Hayward was in Japan, between Showa 21 st February to Showa 24th September." "He served at the Yokosuka U.S. Base during those three years and seven months." "Around the same time when the hat and the book were produced." "Agreed, Munesue's speculations might not be 100% correct." "However, the victim may be here to find his dad's old acquaintances in Japan." "He wasn't born then, but he brought the straw hat and the book of poems, to prove that he's Willie's son." "He's sacrificed himself in order to send his son over." "Let go!" "You're home." "I'm home." "No electricity?" " That's right." "Where's the master?" "He's having an overnight meeting for policies." "Really?" "Wake me up tomorrow at 7 am." "Yes, madam." "Go to sleep." "Yes." "Good night, madam." "Good night, madam." "Kyohei, what's wrong?" "Nothing, I fell off from the bed." "Kyohei, what's bothering you?" "Money problems?" "Five hundred thousand isn't enough?" "I... killed someone." "H it and run." "What?" "How?" "I was scared." "Didn't know what to do." "I dumped the body in the ocean." "Why didn't you tell me then?" "I could find a scapegoat." "Or your dad could take care of it." "You don't know anything." "It's not something you can solve by finding a scapegoat or tell dad to take care of it." "You don't understand my pain." "I'm turning myself in, I want to be jailed." "Even so, could you make the dead alive again?" "Killing is wrong, and dumping the body in the ocean totally immoral." "But you did it." "You must be responsible till the end." "If you're saying about turning yourself in for jail time, why didn't you do so back then?" "You're a sinner, you killed and dumped the body." "You must act like a sinner, and carry the pain with you your whole life." "That's the way to be responsible." "If you think your sins would be forgiven by going to jail, you're being too naive." "All you do is lecture." "You said that" "I'm low." "Everyone was trying to survive in the chaos after the war." "I met your dad at that time." "He worked his way up from scratch." "He built his company and you were born." "When your dad first got elected," "I thought finally I'm going to have some good days." "And then he started to have his affairs." "I wanted to leave, but couldn't." "You were still young then," "I had no skills." "That's why I started to learn fashion design, for my future;" "To take you away with me." "Presently we have this opportunity." "Your dad doesn't need us anymore, and neither do we need him." "But I need you." "I could last till today only because of you." "Go to New York!" "I've rented a shop on 5th Avenue." "Wait for me there." "Kyohei, I know you're suffering." "To live with your sins, is the only way to prove how tough your are." "Go to New York!" "Start your new life there." "(JFK Airport)" "Where are we heading?" "Hilton Hotel." "Mr. Detective." "How's your wife been?" "I'm here to talk to you about that." "Really?" "Come in." "She was murdered." "Her blood type is the same as the prints on the pocket watch." "Look at this watch, there are only four imported in Japan." "Have a seat." " Sure." "The shop owner kept one for himself." "One is with the mamasan of Junko Bar." "One was bought by TV star Johnny Okamoto." "And Kyoko Yasugi bought this one for her son." "Her son showed up at the shop recently, bugging the owner to sell him his." "I think we have enough proof here." "I'm afraid not." "Why not?" "Lt'd be different if we can trace out Naomi's body." "She could still be alive." "If that's so, she'd have contacted me." "Tea." "I understand." "I could be fired if we screw up." "H is dad is a member of the Parliament, and his mum a famous fashion designer." "We don't need to work if you keep worrying about your job." "If you refuse this job, Yoko." "I'll do it, Mr. Niimi." "Hey!" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Welcome." "You want to see me about something?" "Sorry to bother you, have you..." "Have you seen this?" "It's the same as the one I bought Kyohei." "Is he carrying it with him?" "Yes, always." "Could we meet with him?" "He's in New York." "I have sent him to study there." "What is this about?" "A hit and run." "The only clue left on the scene is the pocket watch." "Your son still carries his around?" "When did the accident happen?" "The day when you held your fashion show at Royal Hotel." "If it's on that day," "Kyohei stayed with me all along." "We worked till late, and went for pasta." "You could call him in New York." "Madam..." "Good day." "What's wrong?" "Kyoko Yasugi." "I didn't expect to see her again here." "Do you know her?" "Spring, Showa 24th year." "I saw her at Shinbashi market." "Help!" "My dad was beaten up badly, he died the next day." "My dad died to save her." "Sumiko, another bottle." "Sold out." "You shouldn't drink so much." "Why don't you worry about yourself?" "You're getting old." "I'm fine." "Welcome." "H is poems are a bit sentimental." "It's not fair to compare Yaso Saijo's poems with pop music." "He's the pioneer in introducing" "French symbolist poems to Japan." "It's a bit too sweet." "What's wrong with that?" "My regular drink." " Sure." "Heat up a bottle of sake." " Sure." "It's important being gentle." "I like Yaso Saijo." "Welcome." "Mama, do you remember my straw hat?" "Yes, the one that fell into the valley that summer, on our way from Usai to Kirizumi" "Mama, do you remember my straw hat?" "Yes, the one that fell into the valley that summer, on our way from Usai to Kirizumi" "Mama, it was my favourite hat." "I was so sorry to see it blown away." "I don't know poems." "But I'm certain that there's a connection between this poem, the straw hat and the book." "No doubt about that." "Proof." "You can find the word spoken by the victim in this poem." "Kiss me, that is..." "Kirizumi." "Kiss me and Kirizumi?" "Not quite." "I asked a professor in European phonetics about this." "He clarified that in Spanish phonetics, the 'r' is emphasised." "To hide his Spanish roots, he wouldn't pronounce the 'r'." "Pronouncing "Si-to-ha" as straw hat, and "Kiss me" as Kirizumi." "Johnny Hayward is from East Harlem, the ghetto for Spaniards." "Not only that," "Munesue has found out one interesting point." "Go on." " Yes." "I'm not familiar with the poem's interpretation." "But you all know that the poem is about memory of the lost straw hat." "From that, to remember the mother who's not here today." "Johnny's father, Willy." "He would send his son here at all cost." "Why did Johnny carry the book of poems and straw hat?" "To show that he cares about his mother." "From all these," "I think that his death might have something to do with his mother." "But his mother died." "On record, yes." "What do you mean?" "In order to know more, we must make a trip to Kirizumi." "I've seen many foreigners after the war, but no black man." "Tane might know." "Yeah, she might." "That's true." "When you got here, did you see the dam on the way?" "Yes." "Tane lives up there on her own." "Her grand daughter is helping out here." "Shizuka." "Sorry." "Your food is here, you must be starving." "That's her!" "She's Shizuka." "I'm Shizue." "Does your grandma still remember the past?" "Yes, she remembers the past clearly." "Has this person been here recently?" "Have you seen him?" "A black man?" "Never." "But grandma mentioned it." "When?" "She mentioned something about when the war was just over." "The black soldier took his wife and kid here for the hot spring." "I want to meet your grandma." "This is it." "I'm home." "Grandma." "Grandma." "She's probably in the kitchen." "She had a guest, let me check outside." "Thanks." " You're welcome." "Grandma." "Grandma." "Shizue" "Officer." "I brought them." "Grandma." "Grandma." "Murder?" "Who're you?" "I'm here to see Tane." "Was she murdered?" "I guess so." "She fell off from the bridge." "Someone pushed her over." "The old lady knew who those three are." "Hence it can be deduced that this is clearly a murder." "The killer doesn't want the identities of the family to be exposed." "So you mean to say the killer knew that we'll go to Kirizumi because of the hat and book?" "Racing against us?" "Yes." "The same person killed" "Johnny and Tane." "Chief, you once said that" "Johnny might come to Japan to see someone." "Judging from how he squeezed the book of poems, maybe he's looking for his birth mother." "Impossible." "Willie went back to the U.S. In Showa 24th year, and married Teresa." "Johnny was born the year after." "What if the household particulars are fake?" "You're saying that he's born in Japan?" "That's right." "From his skin colour, he looked like a child from mixed race parents." "I heard that you can't trust the household registry in Harlem." "Enough of this." "Have you found out the identity of the old woman?" "She is from Fukushima's Kuhama." "Grandma." "Grandma, what did you do?" "Detectives from Tokyo are here for you." "You must be Ms Omuro Yoshino." "I'd like to ask you about your cousin Nakayama Tane." "Grandma." "Anything about your cousin." "Please tell us everything you remember." "I don't remember a thing." "You're getting forgetful again." "Didn't you receive a letter from Great Aunt?" "A letter?" "What's in it?" "I forgot." "Do you still have the letter?" "I threw it away." "Your cousin is murdered." "It's true." "We're trying to track the killer down." "What did she write?" "She said she knew who killed the Black man in Tokyo." "Who's the murderer?" "The murderer's name..." "she didn't write down." "Have some tea." " Thanks." "Tea." "And then?" "Me and my late husband fled to Manchuria." "Really?" "I'm impressed." "When the war's over," "I didn't have the guts to come back." "We looked my cousin up in Yokosuka." "What did she do then?" "She opened a bar serving the U. S. Troops." "Do you remember the bar's name?" "No." "Smoke, madam?" "We stayed at the bar for half a year." "Folks back home forgave us, and we came back." "What about her?" "She closed the bar after a year." "She went to Kirizumi." "Do you still remember the names of the girls who worked in the bar?" "I forgot." "Just the surname or nickname will do." "Please try to remember." "There's one girl from our hometown." "Please stop asking." "We wouldn't give you any trouble." "We were just trying to make some money to survive." "It's the same for everyone." "I lived on the streets, begged for food." "She's called Kyoko Yasugi." "Brenda No.7." " Yes." "Matilda No. 8." " Yes." "Welcome..." "Madam Yasugi." "You're the detectives from last time." "I'd like to ask you about something." "Can we do this another time?" "I need to go to my husband's party for his campaign." "It will only take ten minutes." "The Prime Minister will be there, I can't be late." "Walk with me?" "What car did you drive on 27th April?" "The day of my fashion show?" "My Porsche was in the shop," "I borrowed a car to use." "What make?" "A White Crown." "You drove to Shimizudani Park around 7: 15 p." "M." "What did you do there?" "I was busy with the fashion show," "I couldn't have gone to the park." "Is that so?" "You disappeared in the hall between 7: 10 and 7: 30." "I wasn't feeling well." "I went to the clinic at the hotel's basement for a shot." "The doctor said you didn't get a shot." "You left with your medicine." "That should take you only five minutes to be back." "I stayed a while in the rest area." "Kyohei was with me the whole time, you could ask him." "You've been to the park, madam." "You killed Johnny there." "Johnny?" "Who's Johnny?" "Although he was stabbed in the chest, he still followed you to the 42nd floor." "You mean the Black guy?" "Why would I kill him?" "Because he's your son." "Sorry?" "You've got vivid imagination." "You should be a novelist." "I'm not done yet, madam." "You worked in a bar serving U. S. Troops." "Soon after the war, you were hassled by a bunch of soldiers in Shinbashi." "A man got beaten to death by the U. S. Soldiers while he was trying to save you." "Do you remember?" "He was my father." "You didn't help him, you only tried to get out there." "You've killed your son who was born 30 years ago, for status and fame." "Right?" "Are you kidding me?" "You're a detective." "If you make it sound like tabloids, you need some sound proof." "Do you have any?" "You went to Kirizumi on 20th May?" "Kirizumi?" "Where's that?" "You know Nakayama Tane." "No." "That's strange, aren't you from Kuhama?" "Yes." "There's a Kyoko Yasugi from Kuhama who worked in the bar opened by Nakayama in Yokosuka." "Someone could prove that." "Have you been to Kuhama?" "There are dozens of Yasugi families." "I know at least three women by the name of Kyoko Yasugi." "It's late now." "You shouldn't bother me." "Are you done yet?" "Mama, do you remember my straw hat?" "Yes, the one that fell into the valley that summer, on our way from Usai to Kirizumi" "Move away." "Who told you to approach her on your own?" "Questioning the suspect without proof, and you call yourselves detectives?" "Sorry." "But Kyoko Yasugi is a suspect." "Even so, you must find proof." "Could I go to New York?" "I want to find proof myself." "To prove who's Johnny's birth mother?" "And his son Kyohei, fled to New York after the hit and run." "If we can get him to talk," "Kyoko would have no alibi for those twenty minutes away from the show." "Very well, Yokowatashi." "Check out what Kyoko Yasugi was up to when Nakayama was murdered." "And her past... thirty years ago." "Keep a low profile." "Yes." "Thanks, Chief." "Look." "What's wrong?" "Excuse me." "Yeah?" "I want to see Captain O'Brien." "Why?" "I'm a detective from Tokyo Police." "Wait here, I'll be right back." "You're getting old." "I know of a time when you never missed the target." "The target is your belly." "I just picture your belly button as the target, and I'm sure..." "Alright..." "let me have the gun." "I've been trying to tell you." "You're the cop at the field," "I work the table as Captain." "I know I'll be a small cop." "You know to get promoted has nothing to do with closing cases." "That's because you don't do the dangerous jobs." "Don't tell anybody that I told you." "There're plenty of people waiting to be promoted." "I truly appreciate your coming all the way here to tell me." "Come here." "I've a surprise for you." "Come on." "What did you say your name was again?" "Munesue." "Detective Munesue from Tokyo department." "He's here to help you find out what happened to Johnny Hayward." "Here to help me with what?" "I thought you'd appreciate it." "I'll let you two to get acquainted, I'll see you, Ken." "It's your first time in U. S.?" "Yes." "May I smoke?" "Yeah, go ahead." "Need a match?" "No, thanks." "It's a nice day today." "I don't know what the heck you expect to find out." "It's the man." "I know it 'coz I smell it." "It's the man." "I was here a couple of weeks ago asking about Johnny Hayward." "It's the man." "I know it 'coz I smell it." "It's the man." "Johnny Hayward's got a father named Willy." "Does Willy ever come in here?" "I told you once and now again." "I don't know nobody you want." "Why are you being so hard ass for?" "What are you calling names for?" "When I'm talking to you, you'll smell my breath." "Let's get out of here." "Why didn't you get him to talk?" "Are you out of your mind?" "I'll ask myself." "Wait." "We ain't in Tokyo, we've got laws here for that kind of shit." "I don't have time to waste with you." "This is the third time you're here." "Leave me alone, will you?" "You can stay at my place." "It ain't much but you won't have to share the bed with fleas." "Make yourself at home." "If you need to wash up, go through that door." "No thanks." "I will go now." "What do you mean?" "I'd rather be alone." "Alright." "There's a transit hotel." "It's clean and cheap." "This is Ken Shuftan across the street." "There's a tall Japanese guy coming in there any minute now." "If he goes out at anytime, anytime at all..." "I want you to call me." "I'll be at home." "Come, dance." "Not in the mood." "Come on." "Dance on your own." "Come on." "Leave me alone." "Hey." "I got what you want." "Follow me." "OK." "I went through a lot of trouble to get this for you." "I don't do this for everybody." "This one is nice." "Hey!" "Watch it." "It's real." "How much?" "These are clean, no I D marks, not taken off the cop or anything like that." "How much?" "What time?" "Shit." "Forget it!" "He's the man." "Don't mean shit who he is." "I'll teach him a lesson." "That's enough." "Go back!" "You ain't going to find anything here." "No." "Go back!" "If I go back with nothing, I won't have proof." "If there's nothing to find, you ain't gonna find nothing." "I want to find the real birthday of Johnny's." "What?" "Because of his skin colour," "I suspect that Johnny is not the son of Willy and Teresa's." "I think Johnny has a Japanese mother." "He's a G. I. Baby?" "You'd know, you've been to Japan." "Had fun with Japanese girls." "Give me another cup of coffee." "Johnny went to see his real mother in Japan." "You mean Willy threw himself onto a car in order for Johnny to get the money to make the trip?" "Right." "They probably hate Harlem." "And kept the memory of Japan and Japanese mother." "How could anybody hate Harlem?" "However the beautiful mother was dirty." "She was not beautiful at all." "I think she killed Johnny." "Have you questioned her?" "Yes." "She refused to admit." "That's why it's important we find the father." "Then we could prosecute her." "There's a Japanese woman who lives in Harlem." "She's some kind of a photographer." "Do you know this man?" "Johnny?" "Willy's son." "Willy Hayward?" "Yeah." "We're looking for Willy, can you help us find him?" "Did he do anything wrong?" "Johnny was killed in Japan." "Johnny?" "How come?" "Don't know." "I need to find Willy, can you help?" "They used to come to talk sometimes," "and brought me presents of Japanese plum wine." "Johnny always wanted to study Japanese." "Here are the two Haywards." "You're right." "Johnny was born in Japan." "You got any plum wine?" "What?" "Japanese plum wine." "Now who the hell would I sell that to?" "You sell this stuff?" "Never heard of it." "Gentlemen." "Looking for some of this." "You came to the right place, I got it." "Sell me a bottle." "The only place around here that has got it." "Well then, you must know Willy Hayward, don't you?" "Who?" "Willy Hayward, he buys this stuff all the time." "Willy Hayward." "Oh yeah." "Old Willy Hayward, huh!" "Junkies." "Are you Willy Hayward?" "Your son Johnny was killed in Japan." "I'm sorry to tell you." "You got any idea why?" "You got the six thousand from Adams, you wanted him to go, right?" "Why?" "You sent him to see his mother?" "We're just trying to help you." "Don't you want your son's killer be brought to justice?" "Her name is Kyoko, right?" "Was Kyoko Johnny's mother?" "Can you confirm that?" "You remember this one?" "Mama, do you remember my straw hat?" "Yes, the one that fell into the valley that summer, on our way from Usai to Kirizumi" "Mama, that's my favourite hat." "Do you honestly think that you can survive as a designer after we get a divorce?" "I know that you've helped me in the dark to get me where I am." "But I guess, it wouldn't hurt you if I'm famous." "I want to test my abilities," "I've entered the fashion design competition." "The result is gonna be out the day after tomorrow." "I can determine who's the winner by one phone call." "I know that." "But I don't really care about winning anymore." "I've rented a shop in New York." "Even without a reward," "I can manage with Kyohei." "I won't stop you if you insist for a divorce." "But, Kyohei is my successor." "He's useless, but he's still my son." "Forget it!" "How could I?" "He ran over someone and dumped the body in the sea." "What?" "That's why I sent him to New York." "How could that happen?" "You won't save him, even using your political power." "I'm going to start a new life with him." "We won't bother you even if we must starve to death." "I bought a piece of land under your name in Hawaii." "Take the title deed of the land with you." "Hello." "Room 765." "This came for you." " Thanks." "(Murderer)" "You must be Kyohei Kouri." "I'm Detective Munesue of Kojimachi Police Station." "You want to shut?" "Stop." "Stay back." "Don't do anything stupid." "Kyohei." "Don't come any closer or I'll shoot her." "Do you think that you can run?" "Don't come near, asshole." "Kyohei." "Freeze, Kyohei." "Stop!" "Police!" "You call yourself a man?" "How many more Japanese must you kill?" "The female body is found." "My Japanese partner." "We say cheers, how do you say in Japan?" "We say "kampai"" "Kampai!" "You two get along well together." "Ken's one of the best men on the force." "Yes, I know." "Ken, well done." "I didn't do nothing much." "What time is your flight?" "Ant noon tomorrow." "You'll take him to the airport?" "Yes I will." "Bon voyage." "Hey buddy, what are you doing?" "What the hell is he doing?" "And now... the first runner up." "Japan Fashion Design Awards 1977, the first runner up is..." "The "Fantasy" collection." "Designed by Mary Tachibana." "Miss Mary Tachibana." "The judges are pleased to present to you the first runner up prize." "Here's your award." "Could you step outside?" "Wait till the ceremony is over." "Your son, Kyohei... is dead." "Where did he die?" "New York." "He made other mistakes, and was shot by the police." "And now... the winner, of 1977 fashion design awards," "The collection is Flying Fire designed by Kyoko Yasugi." "Teacher, teacher." "Miss Kyoko Yasugi." "The judges are pleased to present to you the winner's prize." "Here's your award." "Speech." "My son... is dead." "It's my fault." "He's my rock." "My only rock." "I'd do anything in order to protect him." "Anything." "He's my straw hat." "Mum, do you remember that straw hat of mine?" "Yes, the one that fell into the valley that summer on our way from Usui to Kirizumi." "I've already lost a hat," "I can't lose another one." "Mum, it was my favourite hat." "I was so sorry to see it blown away." "But that wind, it blew all of a sudden." "Mama..." "That kid was trying to find the hat, the real one." "I don't care about money." "I've plenty." "You don't know nothing." "Mama, do you hate me?" "I love you of course." "But I can't do anything." "It's only going to make things worse if you stay here." "Go back, I beg you." "Mama, do you remember this?" "Mum, remember that young herbal medicine vender, who walked towards us?" "How hard he tried to retrieve my hat!" "But it was no good." "Failed in the end." "I can never find that lost hat." "Who gave me life?" "My Black father and mama." "Look at me." "Mama, if you hate me, why did you give birth to me?" "Why?" "Mum, you're low." "Mum, I wonder what's become of my hat." "The wheel lilies blooming all around it must have withered by now." "Must have withered by now." "In autumn, a grey mist must have surrounded the hill, and my hat may have sheltered a grasshopper and its nightly songs." "Mama." "Mama, do you hate me so much?" "Straw hat, Mama." "Everyone has a beloved straw hat." "In order to survive, we might lose the hat." "And we can never find it back." "I'll give this back to you." "I don't need it." "I just want my child." "I want my child to come back." "Should we arrest her?" "Quick." "The incident in Shinbashi happened" "after they went to Kirizumi." "She tried to help your father." "Move over." "Faster." "Don't!" "Let me go!" "Mama." "Mama." "Mama." "That's when she met Yohei Kouri." "Yohei built his company from the money he made on the black market." "You killed Johnny Hayward," "and Nakayama." "I'm arresting you for murder." "You want to see me, Captain?" "Johnny's stuff came back from Tokyo." "Not very much, deliver to his father." "OK." "First thing in the morning." "Ken, and this." "By the way, was Munesue right?" "Yes." "The mother murdered her own son, she committed suicide too." "Last week, she jumped off a cliff at Kirizumi." "No shit!" "Japanese hound."
