Rising Sun Page #3

covers signs of prior throat injuries.

That suggests a pattern

of repeated cervical trauma.

Could be case of sexual asphyxia.

- She's a gasper.

- Which is what?

Individuals sexually aroused

by the hypoxia of near-strangulation.

They ask their partners to strangle them

or put a plastic bag over their head

while they have sex.

It's easy to make a mistake and go too far.

This looks like death from inhibition to me.

Instantaneous physiological death.

Meaning what?

The person just dies.

Happens with neck or chest injuries.

Had a kid got hit with a baseball, not hard.

Fell down dead in the schoolyard.

Yeah. Maybe she got hit with a baseball.

Odds are she was strangled.

But since having sex isn't a felony,

it wouldn't be murder.

Anyway, file it away in the back of your

mind that maybe she just popped off.

Cheryl Lynn Austin. Age 23.

This says she has a Westwood address,

but she hasn't changed her Kentucky licence.

Japanese cigarettes, Japanese credit cards.

Nice tight roll of $1 00 bills.

Miss Austin's well taken care of.

These little guys eat sh*t

all day long in Tokyo.

Crammed into subways,

working for big companies.

They come over here, they're rich and free,

and they all want to f*** a Rose Bowl queen.

And then kill the Rose Bowl queen

on the Nakamoto boardroom table?

Call the police and create a scandal?

- Is that your theory?

- My theory?

My theory is that these guys

are known world-class perversion freaks.

- I got a nose for these things.

- I'm sure.

(mouths)

Hey, Spider-san.

Tell your pal they got a contest - the one who

kisses the most asses wins a free Toyota.

Graham, want some sushi?

Nah. If I get a craving for mercury,

I'll eat a thermometer.

In Japan, criminals expect to be caught.

Convictions run about 90%.

Here, it's closer to 1 7%.

They think we're stupid.

They think we're corrupt.

And they're not often wrong.

(woman speaks Japanese)

(alarm)

- What the hell are you doing?

- (man) Good evening. Can I help you?

Yes, you can. Where are you located?

Lobby level. Across from the elevators.

Thank you.

(Smith) Mr Phillips, how long

have you been on duty tonight?

About half an hour.

Mr Tanaka was here when I got here.

Mr Tanaka? Who's Mr Tanaka?

He's the head of security.

Mr Phillips, the 46th floor, the cameras?

I know in Japan they like to observe their

workers to help them improve their efficiency.

I saw at least four up there. Why so many?

(whispers) You didn't hear this from me.

I guarantee we didn't hear it from you.

Maybe they put in a couple of new cameras

to observe those negotiations.

What negotiations were those?

The ones that go on up there during the day

with a company called MicroCon.

MicroCon, the computer chip company?

There's a vote coming up

in Congress on that deal.

Put up the 46th floor.

- (Connor) Can the camera get in closer?

- With the gizmo.

The gizmo? Show me.

You use the gizmo to zoom in.

This is all next-generation.

There is nothing like this in this country yet.

- (Connor) You record by disk?

- Record? What do you mean, record?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The disks are all back there.

It's all there on next-generation laser disk.

I'd like to see tonight's disk for the 46th floor.

Um...

You'd have to talk with my supervisor.

You got a warrant?

(Connor) These disks record for 12 hours.

Why does the one on the 46th floor

only show two hours?

Excuse me?

The original disk

isn't even here, anyway, is it?

Because it's been replaced.

Uh...

I wouldn't know about that.

That's Mr Tanaka's department.

Someone at this very moment is watching us.

Under the circumstances,

you've been more than helpful, Mr Phillips.

I'd like to tell you officers something.

This is a good job.

Around here, if something doesn't work,

I got a problem, I tell somebody, they fix it.

It's not like when I was working

at GM out there in Van Nuys.

- This is different here.

- You're part of a team.

- Right.

- What, a team? What are they doing for you?

They spotting for you?

They sending you in plays, huh?

Maybe they got instant replay. Like this?

Hey, brother, come on.

These people have been good to me.

Kohai, I'm gonna call in a favour.

You stay here with Mr Phillips.

- Come on, kohai.

- Lieutenant Smith.

Don't f*** with these guys.

Hey, the honeys are out tonight.

Here's a nice one. Let's use the gizmo.

Oh, yeah, she's nice.

Not so nice.

She's my ex-wife.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Don't be. She's a lawyer.

It must be nice to f*** a lawyer

instead of always being f***ed by one.

I've seen your friend

around here quite a bit.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Real friendly with Mr Yoshida there.

- And who's Mr Yoshida?

- Mr Yoshida's the man.

Let's listen in.

(Yoshida-san speaks Japanese)

I know nothing of this.

Any recordings we have are yours to examine.

I will look into it immediately.

- What does that mean?

- Master wants me to get the car.

Senator Morton, you've been saying

if the sale of MicroCon is approved,

they will use the research and technology

to compete against our own companies.

You know that there is

a time and a place for business,

and tonight I just want to say

that our hosts threw one heck of a gala.

But you've been saying,

"Look what happened to our TV industry."

- Is there such a thing as off-duty?

- Yeah, let's wrap it up.

Hey, you. Quit loafing. Get the senator's car.

What do you think we're doing?

No. You get the senator's car.

Wrong guy. Wrong f***in' century.

Penguin-lookin' motherf***er.

Arigato.

Let me smack this a**hole.

Hey, Captain Connor. Remember me?

Bob Richmond.

Myers, Lawson and Richmond.

I understand my Nakamoto guys

got a little frazzled tonight.

Listen, if I can be of any help to you,

I'm available.

That's comforting.

A**hole.

I knew him when he was a trade negotiator for

the government dealing with the Japanese.

- Now he's working for them.

- Like I said, a**hole.

- Help you?

- Cheryl Lynn Austin.

- She not in.

- Yeah, I know.

Keys.

- Room two.

- Arigato.

- The doorman's Yakuza.

- Yeah, I noticed a tattoo on his arm.

I didn't know there were Yakuza in America.

Pay attention, this isn't America.

This is that shadow world.

They have bars, clubs, and bettaku.

Bettaku. Love residence

where mistresses are kept.

- This is one, huh?

- Correct.

Here we are.

- What time did it start raining tonight?

- After nine.

(Smith) Someone was here after nine.

Correct.

eLook at this.

- She's with Eddie.

- You know him?

Eddie Sakamura.

What's this?

Girlfriend was into some different sh*t.

(sighs)

Look. What is with this guy? There's a lot

of pictures of her with your friend Sakamutu.

- Sakamura.

- Whatever.

Somebody's taken photos from here recently.

(knocking)

Oh.

I thought I heard Eddie's voice.

Say, why is everybody

in Cheryl's room tonight?

- Everybody?

- Well, you and...

- Aren't you just a little bit off limits here?

- And who are you?

Me?

I'm Julia.
