(man) Give me land, lots of land

Under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through

the wide open country that I love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evening breeze

Listen to the murmur of

the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose,

let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge

where the west commences

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

Can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose,

let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On...

Hey!

Hey.

Come back here. Hey!

Hey!

- I hate that when you do that.

- I was bored to death.

- Well, I was having fun.

- Well, good for you.

- Get in.

- No, I'm grabbing a cab.

- Get in!

- Stop it.

Leave me alone, Eddie.

Don't ever try that again...

or else.

Or else what?

(man continues)

Mr Yoshida says, "We regret we can go

no further. This is our final proposal."

"Your company will benefit greatly

from this new relationship."

"Now you must decide the fate of MicroCon."

- (man) We should close at this price.

- (man #2) We could wait till Congress votes.

We can't pull back just now.

Deal's too far gone.

"We can't pull back just now.

Deal's too far gone."

"They'll suspect if we start to stall."

"Listen, I'm the last guy

who wants to screw this up."

"Deal's too good,

but we have to have some strategy."

They're going to stall.

Hey, guys.

- How's it going?

- Good.

- Yeah?

- Hm.

Look, if there's anything

you don't understand...

Oh, no. We're fine here.

Great, great. That's good to hear.

You're gonna be part of a great team.

(whispers) Once these guys draw a line

in the sand, that's pretty much it.

You want that R&D money, don't you?

The Nakamoto Group can do a lot for you.

- Yeah, all right.

- Great.

(whispers) That guy is an a**hole.

"That guy is an a**hole."

The deal puts vital elements of our advanced

military weaponry under Japanese control.

- Senator Morton, that's a scare tactic.

- During the Gulf War, they,

the Japanese, suggested

that they could deny us that weaponry.

You're oversimplifying a complex issue,

aren't you, Senator?

- I don't believe I am.

- What he's trying to say is:

"Isn't this America looking for a new enemy

now the Cold War is over

to replace the Russians?"

- Talk about simplifying.

- You're the one doing the simplifying...

(all talk at once on TV)

Hold on. Let the senator...

Eleanor, let the senator in, please.

- (Morton) I came to Los Angeles...

- (man) Before we hear why,

I couldn't detect from that moving sermon

exactly how you're going to vote.

- They warned me about you.

- (laughter)

- They should.

- Yes, they should.

- (man) How are you going to vote?

- I'm voting against the sale of MicroCon.

(man) Thank you for saying that flat out.

Let me ask you guys on this side.

You make it sound as if Japan's prosperity

is bad for America. Is that what you're saying?

(man #2) The real issue is that this technology

is bought and paid for by American taxpayers.

(man #3) The language you're using,

it sounds like you're going to fever pitch

over trade policies that essentially

are not that dangerous to us.

I mean, if we're really selling

a vital industry to them

and we need that industry,

couldn't we just nationalise the industry?

(Eleanor) The American taxpayers also want

the economy revived, and it seems to me...

(Morton) This discussion is degenerating

into just the kind of argument we don't need.

This is already a very tense situation.

In a few days there will be a vote in Congress

and we will decide whether

the MicroCon sale goes through.

- (laughs)

- It's a complex issue, one that concerns...

I don't get you, Eddie.

So what?

Ladies, one thing, remember that the custom

here is bow when you're bowed to.

Wow. They really rolled out the red carpet.

- They know how to do it, don't they?

- They sure do.

- What floor are we going to?

- 45th.

- After you, Greg.

- Thank you.

(greeting in Japanese)

(man) Bow when you're bowed to.

- (man #2) Look at this. Everybody's here.

- (man) This is amazing.

- There's Barry Hirsch, the mayor.

- I see him.

- I can't believe it. We're in the fast lane now.

- Oh, we sure are.

- Look, here's Yoshida-san and the boys.

- Get ready to bow.

Wife.

- Taiko drums.

- Huh?

Taiko drums. Long ago they were used

to drive away evil spirits.

Come here.

(woman) No, here.

(drumming continues)

(woman) Yes.

More.

Yes.

Yes. More.

Oh, yes! Oh, yes!

(phone rings)

- Yo, what's up?

- Web. Tom Graham.

You're on the chart tonight,

Special Services liaison.

Yeah, yeah.

Better get over here.

The new Nakamoto building. 1 1 00 Figueroa.

- I can't believe they're pulling this sh*t.

- What stuff?

They are demanding to see

the f***in' Special Services liaison.

They're saying the police can't proceed

until you get here.

(man) And what time was that phone call

from Lieutenant Graham?

- What time?

- Yes. What time was it?

9:
00pm. February 9th.

Four nights ago?

- Was that a yes, Lieutenant Smith?

- Yeah. It's a yeah.

Lieutenant Smith,

we appreciate your cooperation.

You waived your right

to be represented here by an attorney.

So, Lieutenant Graham called for

the Special Services liaison.

(Smith) He said he had a homicide.

Yeah, a homicide. Apparent 601 .

Caucasian female, I'd say 25.

Lying flat on her back on the boardroom table

like a piece of sushi.

Quite a sight. Better get down here.

(man on tape recorder) Hello,

I'm a police officer. Can I be of assistance?

(man speaks Japanese)

(repeats phrase in Japanese)

(man on tape recorder)

May I see your passport? (speaks Japanese)

(repeats phrase in Japanese badly)

(phone rings)

- What's up?

- Lieutenant Web Smith,

this is Watch Commander Hoffman.

Yes, sir.

You're on your way to Nakamoto Towers.

I want you to pick someone up.

- It's right on the way.

- Certainly.

- A guy named Connor.

- Connor?

Yeah, John Connor.

But I thought he was long gone.

No, he's still very much alive.

In fact they put in a request for him.

They? Who's they?

You get going, I'll phone. He lives

down by Little Tokyo. 428 Rose Street.

Yes, sir.

428 Rose Street.

(chopping)

(Smith) Connor?

(man) And you did not know

Captain Connor prior to this night?

- (Smith) I did not. I had only heard about him.

- (man #2) What had you heard?

(Smith) I heard that he had long ago

put himself on indefinite leave.

That he had lived in Japan.

Some people thought they got to him.

Some people said that...

(man #2) Said what?

(Smith) The man couldn't be trusted.

You're late.

- Yeah, sorry. The directions were...

- No. Be on time.

(woman coughs)

Shoes.
