Rising Sun Page #8

I know how that must bore men like you.

I just wanted to get input,

cos I know that you're investigating events

that took place at the Nakamoto party.

I was wondering if you felt

that there was any... linkage

between those unfortunate events

and the proposed sale of MicroCon.

We're not aware of any linkage.

Has Nakamoto done anything unfair

or improper in promoting this sale?

Not that we're aware of, no.

Good. Your investigation is concluded, then?

Yes.

Good.

That's it, then, gentlemen. Thank you.

There's one for you. Thank you.

And one for you. Thank you very much.

- (woman) John, here's some more faxes.

- More support. Always welcome.

Mind if I give you a word of advice?

No.

If a battle can't be won, don't fight it.

- If a battle can't be won, don't fight it?

- The Art Of War.

Sun Su, China. Fifth century BC.

- An educated guy, huh?

- Oh, yeah.

He read a fortune cookie once.

Keep this number between us.

(woman) Lieutenant Smith?

I have Lauren Smith for you.

Ah, just what I needed.

Webster, I'm calling to inform you

I'm taking Zelda.

When? This weekend?

- Today at 5 o'clock.

- What are you talking about?

I'm talking about charges being brought

against you concerning bribery.

Come on, Lauren. You know everything about

that charge. It was thrown out. Remember?

- We both know what really happened.

- Stop it, Lauren.

That, coupled with the fact

that you've become a racist.

- A what?

- And that you associate with known racists.

The courts will understand you're providing

an improper atmosphere for our daughter.

- They want you to back off.

- You're not taking Zelly.

Are you denying me my right? I'm here

with my attorney. We're recording this call.

You can record this: F*** you.

And f*** your lawyer, if you already haven't.

- You're not coming anywhere near Zelly...

- That's enough.

What the f*** are you doing?

You wanna take me on? Step out of this car.

I've had enough of you.

You wanna take me on?

Get out! Come on!

I'm tired of your sh*t. I'm tired of her sh*t.

Come on! I'll pimp-slap you

up and down this f***in' street.

Tell me about the bribery charge, kohai.

- The what?

- The bribery charge.

Look, the woman who filed the charge

was a chronic psychiatric case.

The review board dismissed it. You got that?

- All right. Now I gotta go get Zelly.

- I can't help you if you won't tell me.

Tell you what? It was dismissed.

Look, you know cops

are always being accused of assault,

molestation, taking bribes, all kinds of sh*t.

Jesus Christ!

I'm a good cop.

It was a domestic violence call.

The kid is in the crib screaming his head off.

I pull back the covers and there laying

next to the kid is a kilo of white brick.

Graham says we can't make the arrest,

that the search is invalid,

that the wife can't testify against her husband

and that any decent lawyer will beat this.

The woman is screaming, the kid is

screaming, and I'm losing my mind here.

Suddenly the husband walks in

with an envelope this thick with $1 00 bills.

And he says to me, "Thank you, Officer,

for all your help. Thank you very much."

Graham turns to me and gives me the nod.

- And you took the money.

- What was I supposed to do, man?

I mean, my wife...

My wife was pregnant.

Health insurance didn't cover it.

We had bills up to here.

Yes, yes. I took the money.

Me and Graham split it.

Now you're the only one that knows about it.

Graham knows and now, who else?

Yeah. Graham knows.

- Wanna know why I told you?

- Why?

- Because I figure you're on the take, too.

- What are you talking about?

That f***ing fat envelope

you got in your pocket.

The one the guy gave you at the golf club.

That's what I'm talking about.

- This is a golf membership.

- Oh.

So how much is a membership

worth these days?

- A hundred thousand.

- A hundred thousand.

Boy, they sure make it easy

to take a 1 00,000 bucks, don't they?

Well, golf is how they do business.

This is very important for what I do.

Well, I guess that makes everything

all white, now, doesn't it?

Make sure she hasn't taken Zelly.

Damn! If it's not one thing, it's another.

Zelly.

- Hey, babe, you here?

- (voice from other room)

Somebody's here.

I was wondering where he would show up.

Oh, my God.

- Eddie, put that phone down.

- I'm just calling my guys.

- Put the phone down.

- (speaks Japanese)

- So who was killed in the car crash?

- Tanaka.

- (Smith) The security guy.

- Yes, Tanaka.

He worked for Nakamoto Corporation,

but he had a special relationship with me.

My father's keiretsu could offer

a better future to him, you understand?

Tanaka, he liked women and drugs, too.

And for that, give me good information.

- He also tried to set you up as the murderer.

- Well, he was playing both sides.

Look, I'm still alive, he's still dead.

He double-crossed me,

but I double-crossed him better.

He's afraid to get caught with me

so he uses my car and kill himself.

I didn't like the colour anyway.

You reported the murder.

Then you called me in? Hm?

My father always said,

"If you need help, call Connor-san."

So the Japanese at the police station,

what were they looking for in the car?

What Tanaka brought Eddie,

and what Eddie was going to give to us.

That's right, Connor-san.

- The original disk.

- Connor-san, you a smart cookie for a gaijin.

But I think you're gonna

be surprised when you see this.

Uh-uh.

First, give me back my passport.

I think I'm gonna need it.

(knocking)

Careful, kohai.

- Who is it?

- (man) Me, Web. Let me in.

It's Graham.

Hide a sword within a smile.

Hey, Tom, how you doing?

What are you doing here? What's wrong?

- Wrong?

- Yeah.

- What the f***'s wrong with you?

- What are you talking about?

(Graham) The squeeze is on, baby.

Your ex is talking, the chief is shitting,

and the Weasel's snooping.

- Opening up new things.

- New things?

What new things?

Look, are you on the take?

- F*** you, the take.

- Are you on the f***in' take?

Who the f*** are you to ask me about that?

You started me off. You remember that?

Now, play ball. You get to keep your kid,

your job, and your buddies. We're a team.

A team? What team are we on? Huh?

We know who you've got in there.

You're harbouring a murderer in there.

How did you know Eddie was still alive?

He's not. He's dead.

He just forgot to lay down.

- (Smith) He didn't do it.

- Who did it?

We don't know who did it!

Send him out, Spider-san, with the disk too.

I'll protect the guy.

And what if I don't?

If you don't? If you don't?

You're obstructing justice.

You're harbouring, baby.

If you don't,

we're coming in after your murderer.

What are you doing to your life?

You know me, Web. I get my man.

Yeah. Even if he's the wrong man.

Who the f*** are you? The Supreme Court?

You're putting a lot of guys in the line of fire

just to protect one dead Nip.

You risk your life and your child for me.

(speaks Japanese)
