Man from Reno

Be careful driving

out there, folks.

We got fog all over

off of the bay area

clear down the peninsula,

but we're getting hit

with the worst of

it in San Marco, Cali.

So, let's stay safe out there.

This in local news:

Steven Luft will not

step down from his post

at The Luft Foundation

despite the relapse of...

Dispatch, is anybody there?

Dispatch, can you pick up?

- Hey, sheriff. Do you copy?

- Yes, I copy.

About to sleep over there?

Heh, sorry. I just...

uh, I just stepped out.

Got an abandoned car

out on Anzar Road, by...

Sheriff?

Sheriff, do you copy?

Sheriff, I lost you there.

Hey!

- How's he doing?

- Well, he's got a concussion

and some really nasty

cuts and bruises,

- but he'll be okay. What happened

out there? - Can I talk to him?

- Well, no. He's still asleep.

- Call me when he wakes up?

- Yeah. Sure, sheriff. Yeah.

- Thanks.

Checking in?

Do you have a reservation?

No.

Hello.

- Whiskey sour.

- Whiskey sour.

Cure for the common jet lag.

- Looks like you made a friend.

- What?

You'll find out in five,

our, three, two...

I saw you looking

at me or looking...

Tokyo.

Find it?

Think so. There's some blood.

How far am I, 30 yards?

Closer to 50. Don't step on anything.

I've got to take pictures.

Teresa!

It's the hospital.

Who was the last person

that talked to him?

Well, nobody.

As you saw, he didn't have

any I.D. on him.

- So, is he in some kind of

trouble then? - Maybe.

- Any patients missing their clothes?

- I can check.

You know, Dad, checking out

- of the hospital is not a crime.

- Yeah, I know.

- Then what will you do if you find him?

- Ask him a couple of questions,

- find out what happened to him.

- I can tell you what happened to him.

No, no, no.

Somebody beat that guy up

and left him for dead

long before I came along.

- What are you talking about?

- You see those clothes in there,

all shredded to hell?

I didn't do that.

- Oh, so you don't feel bad about

hitting him. - Of course, I do,

but what do you want me to do,

arrest myself?

No. I just don't think

you should be the one

running the investigation.

- So, you want it?

- Sheriff?

It's your show, deputy.

- Did you find anything here?

- The drawer's empty.

- What if it was a getaway vehicle?

- The town car?

- Yeah. What do you think?

- Getaway from what?

I don't know. The running man and a buddy,

they're on their way somewhere.

There's an argument,

things get physical, boom!

- The running man is found on the

side of the road. - It doesn't work.

- Why not?

- His buddy went out on foot?

- Check on the registration?

- It belongs to The Luft Foundation.

I talked to their

security guard,

and he said the car was stolen

right off the property.

- They didn't report it? - They never

realized it was gone until I called.

- Did you show him the whatnot?

- Yeah. He has an alibi.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Paul.

- I had to make a long-distance call,

very long distance. - Oh, yeah?

Made in Japan, as it turns out.

Never sold in the U.S.

25 years old.

- Worth any money?

- Sure, 15 bucks.

As long as I've got you here,

have you seen this man?

- So?

- So, what?

So, what should I do next?

Take this and put it up

everywhere you can.

- Done. What else?

- There's nothing else to do, really.

- Wait and see what turns up.

- That's it?

That's it!

I bet you speak perfect

english, too, right?

Huh?

- Yes?

- I have your dry cleaning.

Wrong room.

Is it too late

For me to say

That I love you

And wish I could stay

So I will kiss you,

and I'll miss you

And then it's time

to say goodbye

Can I help you?

Um, yes. Uh, can you connect me

to Mr. Suzuki's room, please?

Mr. Suzuki checked

out yesterday.

- He was just here. You didn't see him?

- I came on a half-hour ago.

- Hello. - I think we may

have found your running man.

Oh. Did you call Teresa?

I told her she could have this one.

I think you're going to want

to take this one yourself.

Right over here, sheriff.

Is that your guy, sheriff?

Well, whoever he was,

he was dead before he went

in the water. We'll run the

fingerprints and let you know.

All right. Thanks.

Okay, you all know what to do.

- Let's get at it.

- How it going?

It's okay. Theoretically,

it's the perfect place to dump a body.

Especially if you're going

to meet the running man.

- Here. It's right on the way.

- Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

You think it's a coincidence?

No, I just think I'm going to keep

you on the run with that case.

- Why?

- 'Cause it feels not cold yet.

Dig a little deeper, will you?

Besides, there is a connection.

It's all the same case anyway.

Hello.

Who is it?

What?

I'm sorry, ma'am. I must

have knocked on the wrong door.

Which room are you looking for?

I'm not quite sure.

An associate of mine

was checked into this hotel.

He's a japanese man

about six feet tall,

very...

easy on the eyes?

- Suzuki Akira.

- Suzuki Akira.

Lettuce.

Hello?

- Hello?

- Give me the f***ing phone.

Hello.

It's you, isn't it?

- Hey!

- Hey! What's up?

I took your advice. I looked a

little closer at that registration.

The Luft Foundation security guard

said they weren't interested?

- Yeah, you told me.

- Well, check this out. Three years ago,

some kids got drunk

and stole a tractor

at some Luft property

in Santa Clara County.

Nothing really happened. They just

rode around on it till they got bored.

Not only did The Luft

Foundation press charges,

but someone from the company

appeared personally in court

just to ask for the strongest

possible sentence,

and all this over an old tractor that

nobody was using anyway,

yet now when a very

expensive car goes missing,

they just want to sweep it

under the rug?

- You know Steven Luft, right?

- I should. He funded my reelection.

- Really?

- Don't get too excited.

He funded the other guy, too.

Well, you think you can

talk to him about it?

I can try, but I know what he's

going to say, though.

- What?

- That since he got sick,

he didn't feel like being a hard-ass

anymore. But I'll talk to him.

Thanks, Dad.

First time at Mr. Luft's ranch?

First time at this one.

- Hello, Paul!

- Mr. Luft. How you doing?

Depends who you ask.

The doctor says I should stay in bed.

I say I'm fine.

What do you want to drink?

- Whatever you're having.

- Oh, no. You don't want any of that stuff.

- Get him a scotch and soda, will you?

- Uh, no, thanks. I'm on duty.

Oh, iced tea.

So.

Time to support my

local sheriff, is it?

Election's not

till next year, you know.

It's actually about my daughter.

Adorable girl, adorable girl.

From what I hear,

she's not going to be

with us much longer, is that right?

FBI Academy or something?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Poor old dad left all alone, eh?

Right.

She actually talked to

your head of security

not too long ago,

about that town car

that was stolen from the estate.

Didn't say anything about that.

- About the car being stolen?
