Z95.5. Good morning.

This is Brian Patrick.

Coming up in a couple of minutes

another chance at $95.5 this hour.

Just listen for the touchtone,

be the ninth caller and win!

From Motown's number one

for money winners--

." Z95.5. ."

Z95.5. Good morning.

This is Brian Patrick...

- Gentlemen, gentlemen.

- Yes?

- What station is that?

- You can't get that station.

- Why not?

- That's a black station!

My ears can't pick up

the frequency!

That's right.

Hey, how about a slice

of that pizza?

This is an expensive pizza.

You're gonna have to earn this.

Tell you what, why don't l

earn the whole box?

- What are you gonna put up for it?

- l'll put up 20 bucks.

10 for the pizza and 10 for your little

pizza wagon there.

We in it.

Come on.

Yeah, but you gotta spot me

a couple of lengths here.

- What for, man?

- l'm in a small-block Chevy.

l don't have no big blower.

License and registration,

please.

- Shit, he's a cop.

- Detective Costas?

Nice going, teenagers. l'm working

on a bust for six months

and you two come along

and just screw it up.

- Sorry. We thought it was drag racing.

- Drag racing?

What the hell

do you think this is?!

Tell that to the DEA agents

on the other side of the bridge!

- Look, we're sorry, Officer Costas--

- Sorry?

Tell that to the feds!

l ought to run you two in!

But listen, l'm gonna

give you a break.

ln fact, l think we can

handle this internally.

Give me your

badge numbers.

l'm gonna take care

of this.

G. Bell?

- Give me your home phone just in case.

- 555-1834.

You know, Miss Bell,

you're pretty lucky you ran into me.

and not one of the feds

- Hey, you want my number? lt's 839--

- What?

Oh yeah,

l'll figure it out.

Adequate. l only wish he go

to Hawaii instead of Detroit.

Madras?

Madras?!

What are you doing?

Where Mr. Madras?

Oh, he gave me

power of attorney.

You were just too tough

a negotiator.

This is not way

civilized men behave.

l don't get paid

to be civilized.

You forgot the prototype,

now you're gonna die.

Please stop!

We didn't bring

the component now, did we?

Stop! Stop!

l'm sorry!

- Please.

- No need to apologize.

- You want to renegotiate?

- Please!

Here's the new deal.

Give us the prototype,

and we don't drop you

on your head.

l'm bending over

backwards here to be fair.

What are you saying,

Mr. Oshima?

Please please.

ln American, Mr. Oshima.

Hello?

Mr. Oshima?

Now don't make me

come up there.

l think he's dead.

No, he's

playing possum.

He's dead,

l'm telling you.

- l think he's dead.

- l told you he was dead!

Okay okay, you're right.

You happy now?!

Uh, he killed him.

- lt was the heart--

- Shut up.

Get rid of the body

and then find

the prototype.

Search his hotel room.

Do whatever it is you have to do,

but you'd better find it.

On a peaceful evening

in the spring of 1931,

gang warfare had broken out again

with sudden violence

on the streets of St. Louis.

...as the undisputed

boss of the city

was fighting the challenge

to his leadership.

And the challenger

was an upstart hoodlum--

Hey!

- Excuse me?

- What do you think you're doing?

What the--

Uh, St. Regis Hotel,

please.

Uh, first l go

St. Regis Hotel.

Then l go Riverside Hotel,

visit friend.

Come on.

Hop in, papa-san.

- You going to bust Weston?

- Mind your own business.

This is my business.

He just bought $200 worth of cookies.

Look, kid, it's a police matter.

Tough break.

Yeah? Can't you wait

until l get paid?

- No.

- Weston!

- Hey!

- Weston!

Shut up, will you?!

We'll buy the cookies, okay?

Give me some money.

- What do you got?

- Here.

Come on.

Give me the rest.

There's 30 plus 10--

that's 40 bucks.

- That's more than enough.

- What about the rest?

- Uh...

- Dingman.

Dingman. Yeah, here,

go to this address.

Ask for Officer Dingman.

Shit.

- Ready to go?

- Yeah.

Police!

Freeze!

This must be

a Nielson family.

Weston!

- Drop it.

- Police. Stay cool.

- Show him the warrant.

- What warrant. l ain't got no warrant.

You were supposed to go to the judge

today and get a warrant.

- Oh, l forgot.

- You forgot!

Then this guy hits us with a big fat lawsuit

is what you forgot!

- l'm sorry!

- l'm sick of your goddamn problems!

Hey! Shut up!

You mean you guys

don't have a warrant?

Well...

take me in.

Please take me in.

Don't forget my phone book.

lt's got my lawyer's number in it.

Show him.

- What's that?

- lt's a warrant.

Forgot l had it.

Read him.

lnspector, whatever you want

inside, half price.

l need to talk to you

a minute.

- What's the matter?

- lt's about your buddy Mac.

- What happened?

- He's been shot.

Shot? He's not

even a cop anymore.

- Yeah, l know.

- An accident?

No. lt was

at the junkyard.

Um...

uh, yeah.

Shortcut.

- Yeah, all right.

- Costas, don't get involved.

You guys get promoted to Homicide?

l thought you were Robbery.

You call Homicide

a promotion?

Hey hey hey.

They must have

wanted him very dead

to use that kind

of artillery on him.

- What kind is that?

- Gyrojet rocket gun.

- A what?

- Rocket gun. Stopped making 'em in '72.

There can't be

many of them around.

lt fires an explosive rocket shell bigger

than a .44 magnum.

No shell casing.

No nothing.

Very hard to trace.

Wanna see

the other guy?

- What other guy?

- Dead Jap.

Would you call a Jap

a John Doe?

What's that?

lt's a hotel card key.

Hey!

The hell you two guys

doing here?

The other guy that got killed

was a buddy of mine.

Yeah, well, l'm sorry to hear that,

but this is a homicide.

l don't want two jocks

from Robbery messing with it.

Yeah, well you're

in Homicide.

- So who did it?

- lt's an open and shut case.

Jap bashing. Some unemployed

autoworkers got a couple drinks in 'em.

They see this Jap

so they start to work him over.

They get carried away, then they gotta

come here and dump the body.

- Brilliant.

- You got it all figured out, don't you?

lt's just too bad your buddy

the night watchman had to be

- in the wrong place at the wrong time.

- Hey!

What do you think, unemployed

autoworkers are using car crushers

to dispose of bodies now?

ln 30 years, the guy

never fired his gun once.

Then he gets shot

in a junkyard guarding junk?

lt doesn't make

any sense.

l mean, what the hell

is there here to steal?

The sad thing is, as far as Dingman's

concerned, the case is solved.

That's why l want

to take the electronic key

and go down to the hotel

and see what l can find out.

- Do me a favor, will you?

- What?

You don't mind riding home

with Dingman, do you?

l'll make it up to you.

Thank you very much.

Hi!

How you doing?

Police officer. l wonder if you

could tell me what room this is for?

Hey hey,

we're the Monkees.

Cut it out now!

Get 'em up. Come on.

Get 'em up.

Give me security. l know he's

not registered. Hotel security!

Just hold anybody

who looks different.

Hey you!

Hold it!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Shut up, lady.

You're not on a game show.

Police officer.

- Cover me.

- l'm on it.

l don't think we need

quite this much firepower.

Let the people through.

Come on, folks. Come on.

Welcome to Detroit.

Nice to see you.

- First time here?

- Yes.

Welcome to Detroit.

Thank you. Come on.

All right,

here we go.

Damn! He must have

gotten off at the mezzanine.

Down there!

Look at that!

Look!

Stop that garment bag!

Freeze!

Get 'em up.

Drop the bag.

- Yeah, that's okay.

- You want me to sign this?

l'm telling you--

l've told you four times now.

What do you got for me?

You got some messages

from your girlfriend.

No this one's no good!

- Hey, Dingman.

- Yeah?

You know that dead Japanese

guy we found in the junkyard?

Yeah,

this the guy?

No, this isn't the guy, pinhead!

l found this guy

nosing around

the dead guy's hotel room.

Damn you, Costas.

l warned you.

This is Homicide.

Stay away from this case.

What do you mean ''hotel room''?

What hotel room?

Uh, just took a wild stab.

You know, check a lead.

No, you mean you withheld

a piece of evidence

from a homicide case

from an investigative officer.

Now get your ass

in my office.

l told him to stay out of it, sir,

and not the first time either.

He just doesn't listen good.

Yeah?

What you grinning about?

You let somebody else

solve your case for you.

Now question the prisoner.

Come on.

Do you know my mother

got two TV sets

ripped off

in the last six months?

- RCA 25''.

- You know, l got a lead on that.

Just shut up.

Now do see me

running around

trying to find the sons

of bitches that took it?

No. Because l expect

Robbery to do it.

But where is Robbery?

Out trying to solve

homicide cases!

And in the meantime,

l am the poor son of a bitch

that's got to buy

my mother another TV set.

Speak any English?

Hmm?

Well, that's okay.

l talk some Jap.

Toyota.

Mitsubishi.

Kawasaki.

Teriyaki.

What do they

call you anyway? Tojo?

Honda?

Sushi?

Sanyo?

What do they

call you?

Read my ''rips.''

Fu-ji-tsu-ka

Nat-su-o.

Detective First Class.

Tokyo Police.

Come on with me.

Detective First Class.

Come on.

Amazing, Costas.

You bust another one

wide open.

Come on in.

lnspector Ryerson,

l would like you to meet

Fuji-kaka

Na-na-what?

- Fujitsuka Natsuo.

- Yeah, right.

Detective First Class,

Tokyo Police.

What?

Are you telling me

that he is a cop?

Wait till the State Department

hears about this.

Costas, you bust

a Jap cop

and you've created

an international incident.

lnspector Ryerson's office.

Hang on.

Somebody order Hunan?

lt's Tokyo, sir.

l called his superior.

l wanted confirmation.

So he wants to speak to you.

Jesus H. Christ. Didn't you question this

man before you arrested him?

- l tried to--

- Just shut up.

Hello.

lnspector Ryerson here.

Say what?

Here.

This is for you.

Thank you very much.

Godzilla's

attacking the city.

For the love of God,

stay in your homes.

Will you shut up?

My superior...

wishes to express

great admiration

for world-renowned

Detroit Police Department.

Will somebody ask him what he

was doing in Oshima's hotel room?

Shut up, Costas.

H-hello?

l'm sorry. We have

a bad connection. l call him later.

lf you're so legit,

why'd you run away?

After reading so much

about crime rate in Detroit,

l mistook you for hoodlum.

My apologies.

lsn't that a coincidence?

Having heard about the crime

rate in Detroit myself

l mistook you

for a criminal.

Enough foolishness.

lnspector Ryerson, Mr. Oshima

embezzled a great sum of money.

l was sent to convince him

to return to Japan

and possibly save face.

But unfortunately,

in trying to save

Japanese face,

l also tweak nose

of American law.

Hey, pal,

l've seen your face.

- lt ain't worth saving.

- Costas, out.

Am l wrong here?!

- You heard the inspector, right?

- Out!

Look, check this out.

- You know that dead Japanese guy?

- Yep.

Turns out he embezzled

a ton of dough

from some big company in Japan

and they sent Tojo to investigate.

Here's the part

that doesn't make sense.

The guy's got all this money.

Why does he come to Detroit

for a good time? He never heard of Rio?

Look, l want to know

everything this guy did.

- l want to know if he had a rent-a-car.

- He did.

Budget. Picked it up

at the airport.

No, we haven't located it.

Yes, l will go over it

with a fine-tooth comb.

Look, l'm gonna

follow this guy, okay?

While Ryerson and Dingman are playing

Kabuki theater with Madam Butterfly

l want to know everything

that this guy does.

- Unofficially.

lf l lose my pension, the wife

and kids move in with you.

Hey, that's okay.

- Your wife's a piece of ass.

- Hey, cut that shit out!

That's my wife you're talking about!

A man's woman is sacred.

Can you spell that, please?

F-U-J-l-T-S-U-K-A.

- And what's your address?

- Tokyo, Japan.

Well, sir,

these should be ready

in about an hour.

Here's your receipt.

Just bring this back when you come.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Those photos that guy

just dropped off,

- can l take a look at 'em, please?

- l'm sorry, sir.

- We're not allowed to do that.

- Official police business.

He just put 'em in.

They haven't been developed yet.

Why don't you give me your number?

l can give you a call

- when they're ready.

- They'll be ready in an hour, sir.

- ln an hour?

- Yeah.

Excuse me.

- Thank you for waiting.

- Sure.

l get out here, please.

- Keep the change, thank you.

- Thank you.

As all of you know,

l've been in the auto

industry most of my life.

l've developed some of the finest cars that

have come out of Detroit.

But l'm here today

to tell you

the Jarryd Starburst

tops them all.

Mr. Jarryd, thank you.

Tell me...

what makes you think you can

go up against the Big Three, sir?

The Jarryd engineers

have just had a revolutionary

technological breakthrough

that's gonna take

this industry by storm.

- What is it?

- That's all l can say about it now.

l can't tell you more

about it now.

- Mr. Jarryd.

- Yes, ma'am?

From all reports,

you are an

undercapitalized company.

With your limited resources,

how can you possibly

mass-produce this kind of car?

l didn't come here today

to answer questions

about a balance sheet.

l came here

to show you a new car.

The Jarryd Starburst.

The car of the future.

A car built up

to a standard,

not down to a price.

Thank you. You wonder what that

Japanese fellow there is scowling at?

You're gonna be

out of a job, fella.

That's all l have time for,

ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

You were supposed

to negotiate with him, not kill him.

He had a bad heart.

Want something to eat?

Our relationship

is over.

Your loan will be repaid in full.

l'll find a way.

- Who do you think you're kidding?

- l've instructed--

l've instructed my

attorneys to inform you

you're not to have

any further contacts

with the Jarryd Motor

Company, understand me?

There is no partnership.

There never was. There never will be.

Don't do anything

rash, Derek.

Oh, you--

you think you can

scare me with your thugs?

Do you know who you're

dealing with here?

l'm Derek Jarryd. l have

a lot of friends in this town.

l can get the governor

on the phone

and the chief

of police.

Sounds like a threat.

lf you want it

to be, fella.

Hey!

l'm not finished

talking to you yet, Derek Jarryd.

Mr. Motor City.

You're right.

There is no more partnership

because you are out.

- l'm out?

- Yeah.

Only you don't have to

be too depressed about it.

You can go on making

your speeches

and getting your picture

in the society page,

but we're gonna know

that you're just my little puppet.

Leave.

Go sell some cars.

Make us some money.

Out!

Oh, and by the way,

Scully here's gonna be keeping

you company,

just to keep you

from getting lonely.

Although we need some

kind of title for him,

maybe a vice president.

Something in public relations.

Naughty naughty.

Must not read that kind of stuff.

Only gossip.

Film, please.

Sure. Mr. Fujiski?

- Fujitsuka, Tokyo, Japan.

- Oh, okay.

Just a second.

Okay, here you are.

That's $14, please.

Oh, yes, $14.

You have a $15 smile,

so you keep the change.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome. Thank you very much.

Thanks, babe.

You'll make a swell

cop someday.

How's it going?

Hi. Costas,

Detroit P.D.

Just doing a little

spot check--

doors, windows,

checking your bushes for people.

That kind of stuff.

Nobody told me

about any spot check.

lf you knew about it

it wouldn't be a spot check.

That would ruin

the surprise.

- Hold on, let me get my supervisor.

- Wait a minute.

You don't need

any supervisor.

l just wanna take

a little look around.

When you got the best

security in the business,

nobody gets in

without clearance.

l guess it would be pretty hard for

somebody to sneak through here, huh?

Hard? lmpossible.

- Must be something metallic.

- Oh, probably my gun.

- Try it now.

- Let's see.

Yep, that was it.

Funny how that works,

isn't it?

Your boss Lieutenant Shortcake

says you check out.

Oh, terrific. You guys

are certainly professionals.

l don't know how anybody

could sneak past you two.

You know, we both t ook

the test to be police officers.

Law enforcement.

Yeah, that civil

service examiner,

- he had it in for us.

- Didn't work out.

Probably some

personality thing.

- A lot of times they get jealous.

- Yeah yeah yeah.

Let me ask you,

a guy like that janitor,

l imagine this would be

a pretty tough job, huh?

All our maintenance personnel,

we screen them pretty

carefully, yeah.

Access codes

change daily.

Really really?

- Now that room he's going into now...

- That's R&D.

Research and development is top secret.

Mr. Jarryd, myself, this gentleman,

we're the only ones

who know where it is.

l'd be curious.

Where is that?

Third floor, last door

on the right.

l'm gonna go take a little look.

ls that okay?

- No problem.

- Oh, great, you fellas are terrific.

ln fact, l'm gonna call

the civil service people.

l'm gonna speak to them

about you two.

l think you deserve

another chance.

- Thanks a lot.

- l'll make a call. Let me look around.

- Hey, thank you.

- Detroit P.D.

Motor City's finest.

A plainclothes dick. A gumshoe.

Computer-san,

you talk to me.

What's the matter, pal?

Out of quarters?

- Oh, Detective Costas.

- Little late for Pac-man, isn't it?

Just the man l need to help me

with investigation.

Help you? You know,

l oughta stir-fry your face.

l don't know

where you come from,

but around here, breaking

and entering is against the law.

l make bargain

with you.

You help me, l help you

find man who shoot your friend.

Bargain. You got nothing to bargain

with. l'm gonna bust your ass.

Bust my ass no good.

You arrest me, somebody new come

from Japan. Then you have nothing.

l'll arrest them too. l can arrest people from

Japan all day long.

You know why?

Because l think you're a spy.

l think you're stealing

industrial secrets from Jarryd Motors.

No, no spy.

This much l tell you.

Story about embezzlement not true.

Not true?

l am shocked.

l tell you rest

on need-to-know basis.

Need to know? l'll tell you

what l need to know.

l need to know why l shouldn't put

my foot up your ass.

Reason very simple-- most uncomfortable

position for both parties.

Now you know why we do

these spot checks once in a while.

l think you both learned a little

something here tonight.

Come on.

Damn, those guys

are good.

Detective Costas,

you give me one day,

l show you man

who shoot your friend.

You want a day?

l'll give you a day.

You can have

last Wednesday.

Destiny bring us

together, you know?

Destiny? Your destiny is

one-to-five at Jackson State.

They're gonna love a guy

like you down there.

They'll dress you up,

play house.

Enough of this!

Stop, police!

- l don't need this.

- Take off cuffs. They going to escape.

Don't tell me how

to do my job.

Thank you very much,

Detective Costas.

- l could be of assistance.

- Yeah, you can watch the car.

What you did

was not nice, young man.

Old people must be treated

with kindness, respect.

Someday you will

get to be old.

Yeah, man, okay.

What the hell

is going on here?

Get the hell

back down there.

l took the liberty

of apprehending suspect.

Tony-san,

Detective Costas,

l told you

we make great partner.

l could have run away,

but l did not.

You need me

for investigation.

l need you. Together we bring

murder suspect to justice.

All right,

cut the theatrics.

You got one chance,

pal, one shot.

That's it. We're even.

That's it. Come on.

- Come on.

- You have the right to remain silent.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, Tony-san.

Where this?

This is not my hotel.

That's some pretty clever

detective work, Natsuo.

This is my place. Come on.

l'm not letting you out of my sight.

l see.

You no trust me.

You think maybe

l run away.

Where l gonna run away to,

huh? We are partners.

Yeah, we're partners.

We're partners in the way Sears

& Roebuck are partners.

What you mean

Sears Roebuck?

You know Sears,

the big department store?

lt used to be

Sears & Roebuck.

Then Roebuck one day

took a three-day vacation,

came back, found his

name off the building.

- Really?

- Yeah, tough break, huh?

What are you doing now?

Take off shoes.

Show respect for house.

Suit yourself.

Tony-san,

you have pet?

l had a dog

a couple years ago.

l think better

l show respect for foot.

Come on, sit down.

Let me clear some

of this stuff here.

l didn't get a chance to clean up this

morning. ln kind of a hurry, you know?

Look like you in hurry

every morning.

This baby is

Same age as pizza.

You're quite a comedian.

- To my new partner.

- New partner.

- Oh!

- You like that, huh?

- Very good.

Those photographs l saw today.

- Oh yes.

- You got 'em here?

l find roll of film

in Oshima's hotel room.

And that's why

l make picture.

- You found these in Oshima's room?

- Yeah.

Breaking and entering.

Withholding evidence.

l think you make a better crook

than you do a cop.

You like that, huh?

- You have big sense of humor.

- Oh, yeah.

We must do...

must do banzai.

- Banzai!

- Yeah, nice Japanese banzai.

- Banzai!

1 2 year old.

Beautiful.

- No no no no.

Hot hot, God damn.

You know you problem?

A wife?

Hey.

l just think we oughta

live together for awhile first.

Detective Costas,

Bad neighborhood, huh? This used

to be a great neighborhood.

When l was a kid,

this whole area was alive.

And then you guys came along

with your tin can cars and slave wages,

put everybody out

of business.

Now l know why

you don't like me.

You blame all Japanese

for problems of Detroit.

No, l don't blame

all Japanese.

- l just blame you.

- Huh?

Blame ourselves for getting fat

and letting it happen.

What?

...sophisticated engine

in a sports car today,

with an onboard computer

that continuously monitors

operation as you drive.

The result-- uncompromised

performance at all operating speeds...

Now let me

get this straight.

What you're telling me is Ford

held the gun and GM pulled the trigger.

- ls that what you're trying to say?

- Patience, Detective Costas.

You know something?

l think l see our suspect now.

Where?

The production team assembled

the car with ultimate care...

- Don't make joke.

- l'm gonna question her.

...operation as you drive.

A 5.0-liter, V-6 engine

and F-body chassis--

Miss, police officer. Just doing

a preliminary investigation here.

l need to ask you a couple questions.

Just take a second.

ln fact, you know,

you're kind of busy now.

Listen, why don't you

give me your home number?

l'll give you a call later in the week.

We can get together then.

Under the hood is one of the most

sophisticated engines

offered in any

sports car today.

The brochures are

back on the table and--

- Excuse me. Excuse me, Mr. Jarryd?

- Yes.

ls it true that your

turbocharged model

has rotary ceramic blades?

That it can go

from zero to 60

- in 5.1 seconds?

- No no, we can't make those claims yet.

Excuse me, please.

l believe we have a mutual friend.

My business partner,

Mr. Oshima.

He suggested perhaps

we could talk.

- No no, l'm afraid

l don't know that name.

Mr. Jarryd is late

for a meeting.

Perhaps l can

help you, Mr., uh...

Johnson.

Duane Johnson.

Why don't l get your number

and we'll get back to you?

Duane, is it okay

if l call you Duane?

Yes, of course.

Thank you very much.

No need to go

to all that trouble.

Later.

Well, nice going, Duane.

Who's your next suspect

gonna be, Lee lacocca?

l wanted

to make him panic,

hope to force him

into error.

Error, what kind

of an error?

Look at man

he arguing with.

Do you want to stay

with the program,

- or do you want to embarrass yourself?

- Don't make a scene.

You may be

onto something.

That guy didn't look like he had anything to

do with cars.

Also, president of company

must not be treated like piece of shit.

l think we should get to know tall

skinny fellow better.

''Piece of shit''? Where do you

pick up this kind of talk?

Over there.

Sir, it's an Oriental

gentleman

who claims to be

a partner of Oshima

and someone whom l suspect

to be a Detroit policeman.

Shake him but don't do

anything illegal.

lt's done, sir.

Do me a favor, run a make.

Michigan 5084PG.

Roger, 2370.

Why you don't just pull him

over for questioning?

You want to scare Jarryd.

l want to scare this guy.

We'll make him nervous.

Maybe he'll do something stupid,

run a red light,

spit out the window.

Then l can fry his ass.

Fry his ass?

Very severe punishment

for just spit out window.

Yeah, well, you're in

America now, pal.

2370.

Go ahead.

2370, car registered H.W. Scully,

no known residence.

Only address--

P.O. Box 25047, Detroit.

lllegal u-turn.

Turn on that fryer.

Check this out. l don't believe this.

What do we got here?

Come on, Fu.

Take care of him.

Somebody order sushi?

Hey!

We got a score

to settle here, mister.

- Hey, look, pal--

- No, you look.

l want to know when you guys

are gonna do something

about the balance of trade.

You brought those

heavy tariffs on yourselves

by dumping underpriced

computer chips on the market.

Hey hey. That's it.

l got it handled here.

Hold it just a minute.

Everybody must understand

Japan is a very small country,

and we only do what

we can to compete in world market.

Yeah, but surely

you can't compare--

What do you think

is this, ''60 Minutes''?

What he mean

by ''60 Minutes''?

''60 Minutes'' is a popular news

and entertainment program--

You shut up.

Hey, man.

Every American should be

an ambassador of good will.

- Yeah, that's right.

- Yeah.

And you, how do you expect

to improve the relations

with other nations

if you show 'em no respect?

Shut up, asshole!

The trouble with you is you

got too much mousse in your hair.

- Moose in hair?

- lt's a popular styling solution--

Would you please shut up?

You know something?

You make me laugh.

lt's guys like you

with attitudes like yours

that put America

in the situation she's in right now.

Kiss off, Kissinger.

His ass is mine.

Hang on, pal.

- Police officer!

- Criminal!

Karate!

Karate this.

Just my luck, l get the only guy

from Japan who doesn't know karate.

Not true. My brother

not know karate, either.

Come, let's get Scully.

- Yeah, let's kick some more ass.

- Okay.

Ah, Tony-san,

you're hurt.

Yeah,

don't worry about it.

No, l'm not worried.

You very honorable man.

You could have captured

Scully,

but you stayed

behind to help me.

Yeah, well, l make mistakes

like that all the time.

No, not your mistake.

My mistake, 'cause l don't trust you.

Now l tell you

whole story.

Whole story.

Gee, l'd love to hear the whole story.

Not that kind

of story. Truth.

You see, Oshima stole

revolutionary new turbocharger.

l think he want

to make deal with Jarryd.

That's why they send me,

bring him back to Japan.

You got proof of this, or you

just make it up as you go along?

No no no. l see guilty look

in Jarryd's eye.

Guilty look in eye?

With that kind of hard evidence,

we should get a conviction overnight.

Guilty look in eye.

What kind of Mickey Mouse criminal

justice system you got in Japan?

Mickey Mouse

American invention.

That's right. You guys aren't

clever enough to think about it.

We have Disneyland

now near Tokyo.

- Do not.

- Do too.

- Do not. You lie.

- Do too. No lie.

Just picked up

Oshima's rental car.

They're going over it now.

lt's clean.

Anything on that

guy Scully?

This guy's done everything

but rape Bambi.

There's several weapons charges,

assault and battery,

beat a murder rap in Sarasota

for insufficient evidence.

He used to run

a survivalist camp.

Survivalist camp?

You got an address?

1943 Central.

That's great. Thanks, pal.

l'll talk to you later.

Nice house.

How many family live here?

- One guy.

- One guy?

Oh, 1943-- good year.

My nephew born then.

American door,

beautiful.

Excuse me. You really studied your

handbook, didn't you? There you go.

Ha ha ha. Doorbell.

American house,

doorbell.

We don't have doorbells.

- l'm gonna have to take a look inside.

- How we get inside?

- We break in.

- Break in. We don't need warrant?

You don't need a warrant

if you have probable cause.

- Probable cause.

- Probably cause.

You don't smell that gas?

Mnh-mnh.

- You don't hear the baby crying?

- Baby crying?

Oh, probable cause.

Must hurry.

Neighbors hear alarm, call police.

ln America, when people

hear an alarm

they just yell,

''Turn that shit off.''

''Turn that shit off''?

Hey, turn that shit off!

Oh, that's better.

- Jesus.

- Holy shit-o.

Do you think this guy

was into home protection?

Too many guns.

No, all Americans

live like this.

- Really?

- Oh, sure sure.

- You're putting me on.

- No, no.

Hello. Hello!

- lt's Scully here, sir.

- What is it now?

- l have cornered the enemy.

- You've done what?

They're in my house.

ln your house?

l told you to lose them.

You got rid of that

murder weapon, didn't you?

Excuse me, sir, but the for mentioned

item is in the house.

Brilliant.

Now you get rid of it.

l don't care what you have to do.

You get rid of it.

Done, sir.

Excuse me.

Tony-san.

- Look what l find.

- What do you got?

Strange looking weapon.

- Hey, it's the gun that killed Mac.

- How you know that?

Here. Been reading

all about it.

Scully. We got

a surprise for him.

l think he have

surprise for us.

- Get up! Get up!

- l think we make him angry.

Follow me.

Take this gun

and cover me.

Cannot. Japanese police

don't use gun.

Shut up. Get out of Benihana's now.

Just cover me!

No good, no ammo.

- l got him.

- You got him.

They got me.

- Go!

- Good idea. Not safe here.

- Give me that. This is empty.

- Oh, yeah.

Now take this.

Take this and cover me.

Cover you, yes, sir.

Shoot anything

that moves, all right?

Now listen, there's one shot left

in there. So we gotta make it count.

l understand.

You asshole!

l'm sorry, Tony-san.

- What are we gonna do now?

- l don't know.

Ha ha.

lnteresting culture. You won't carry guns,

but you carry grenades.

Jesus!

Scully, let's talk

about a deal.

Look, l got

the rocket gun.

lt's the only thing the cops

can use to link you to the murder.

l'm gonna throw it out.

Wait!

Wait a minute!

That's not

the whole deal.

Look, l got the plans

to the turbocharger.

l'm gonna wrap it

around a rock

and throw 'em out.

You'll be a hero to Jarryd.

l sense your interest.

Look, here it comes.

Good faith and all that.

l know you're basically

a pretty decent guy.

Here it comes.

Oh, Tony-san,

l think you avenge

death of friend now.

Wonder if there's any way

to figure out who Scully was talking to.

Very simple.

ln Japan we have

recall button.

Oh, see, number come.

Hello. Huh?

What means ''flee crinic''?

Sounds like Polish name.

''Free crinic''?

Maybe a restaurant or something.

Hi, to whom am

l speaking, please?

Sir, this is

the Free Clinic.

The Free Clinic, you idiot.

Come on.

- Let's get down there.

- Oh, Free Clinic.

l was born in a neighborhood

very much

like this one.

That's why l can't

turn my back on it,

like a lot of other

people have, right?

This check

for $15,000

will go toward

building...

- Who we looking for?

- l think we found him.

See the guy at the mic?

That's Philip Madras.

- You know him?

- Everybody in Detroit knows him.

Come on.

- As well as...

- Excuse me, guys,

as well as the proceeds

from the sale of the work

of these fabulous

local artists of yours.

Let's give 'em a hand.

l'd like to present

this check

to Mr. Albert...

- That's, uh...

- Yeah yeah, l know who it is.

lt's starting to come together

a little bit, isn't it?

...from your new

Free Clinic.

Step right over here, folks.

We're gonna start the groundbreaking.

He's a great man, your mayor.

Shall we take some pictures?

Come on, come on.

There they are.

This guy Madras, he's a real

American success story, boy.

He started kinda small,

you know, racketeering, extortion.

So how does a guy

like you get his claws

- into a man like Jarryd anyway?

- Tony-san, not here.

What, are you lending him money,

3% interest per day?

- ls that how it starts?

- What's the matter with you?

You on something?

- No, not on something.

- No, l'm on something, pal.

l'm on your ass.

That's what's l'm gonna be on.

You're sick, buddy.

You're sick.

- Get him out.

- Officers, l want these men removed.

Get 'em out of here.

l'm gonna nail

your ass!

Yeah, l'm gonna nail ya.

You're a goddamn murderer.

Yeah, yeah, l'm gonna

nail your ass.

Sayonara.

You got it wrapped up in a nice

neat package, don't you?

Jarryd is tied up

with Madras.

Scully is the man

that killed ''Awshima.''

- Oshima.

- Will you just shut up?

Scully killed Oshima

and shot Mac.

Except that Scully's

been blown to bits,

along with

half the city.

And you ain't got evidence

to back up anything.

You had a search warrant?

No, l didn't think so.

lt's the first time you ain't

got anything smart-ass to say.

Now, damn it, Costas,

l am within one inch

of putting your

ass in jail,

along with your little

kamikaze pal out there.

Now let me have 'em.

The gun's mine.

l paid for it myself.

l doubt it.

We gave it a pretty

good shot, partner.

lt's a long way

to go for nothing.

Tony-san,

you a good cop

and honorable man.

- Dingman, get your cuffs on this man.

- Yeah.

Put him in

a holding cell,

'cause he's gonna be our guest

until his flight tomorrow.

Get him out

of my sight.

Dingman, show you're a human being.

You don't have to cuff the guy.

You got nothing

to say here, Costas.

You're not even

in Robbery anymore.

Come on,

give him a break.

lt's not like the guy's

gonna try to escape.

He's not gonna escape. No way.

l got my eye on this little guy.

- Come on, move it.

- Get out of that, Houdini.

Come here.

Down here.

Excuse me.

May l go bathroom?

- Weak bladder, huh?

- No, full bladder.

What kind of physical

they give you over there, huh?

Not over there.

All right,

which hand you want?

- Right hand.

- The hell with you.

lt's gonna be the left.

Come on.

All right, you got a short bat,

you step up close to the plate.

And hurry up.

Banks, can you hear me?

Oh, there's too

much paperwork!

Hey, Tojo,

what are you, shy?

- Costas, beautiful car.

- Hurry up!

- What this?

- Toyota.

No, really?

- Yeah.

- No, this Corvette.

- What took you so long?

- Had to take leak.

- What year this?

- '59.

Beautiful.

Look, Jarryd and Madras

don't have the prototype, right?

- Hmm.

- And it was at least, what, 36 hours

between when Oshima got here

and when he got killed.

So if we can figure out

what he did in the 36 hours,

- then l'd know where the prototype is.

- Where the prototype is.

- What?

- l just say that.

No, you didn't. You heard me

say it and you copied it.

- No, l just say it.

- No, l said it.

Tony-san, please,

no time for bicker.

- Where we start?

- First, we get off the street.

First, we get

something to eat.

No, first we look at the photographs

Oshima left behind.

Then we get something to eat

after we get off street.

What else you got?

All Japan.

All Japanese stuff.

Just family pictures.

Oh, great,

there you go.

Hey, that's American

quality for you.

Tony-san, you must

count your blessings.

You know, when l was

young man, my first job

was to make umbrella.

Paper and wood umbrella.

Yeah, well, those things probably

don't work any better than these.

Now not our problem.

Now made in Taiwan.

- Hey, come on.

- Tony, how are you?

l haven't seen you

in a long time.

l want you to meet my friend Natsuo.

He's from Japan.

- Japan!

- Detroit native, very beautiful.

Take him out there

on the dance floor.

Oh, yeah, come on.

Come on and dance.

- No, Tony-san, l don't dance.

- Come on, it's fun.

Come on, all right!

l'll get someone

to dance with you.

Get up and dance with him.

Go on now.

Fu, Fu!

l think we got a clue.

- What?

- This picture.

lt wasn't taken in Japan.

lt was taken in Detroit.

See the Michigan license plates

in the background?

No no no no.

No Michigan license

plates in Tokyo.

Dance not finished yet.

- Come on, we gotta go.

- Huh?

We gotta go.

Come on!

- Sayonara.

Sayonara, baby.

Sayonara.

See, this not Japan.

Yeah, it's a Michigan license plate,

but that doesn't tell us where.

Let me see

the Pepsi machine.

Oh, yes, graffiti.

''Duke''?

What mean ''Dukes''?

- That's bad news, guys.

- lt's a street gang here in Detroit.

- Dukes.

- Where they stay?

They hang out around Woodward

and 8 Mile. Somewhere in that area.

Oh, getting close.

See, Dukes.

Recognize doorway

in picture.

Must hurry. Daybreak

come pretty soon. Owner be here.

Yeah.

And l'll bet you

one of your fish heads

that prototype is

inside here somewhere.

Now technically, we're gonna need

a warrant to get in this joint.

No, no need warrant.

Have probable cause.

- Probable cause?

- Yeah.

- You hear baby crying?

- l do hear a baby crying.

- You smell smoke?

- You know, l smell something.

Good morning, Detroit.

This is Dick Burden with you

on a perfect race day. The annual

Grand Prix is just getting underway.

Sunny skies

and beautiful racing weather

and by the way, l wanna give

a big Motor City welcome

to all the racing fans

who are in town today.

lf you don't have tickets

to the race, no problem.

We'll have details on how you can

win some coming up shortly.

- Just keep it right here on...

- ." Z95.5. ."

He's here.

Man, what the hell

you talking about?

He don't even

speak Japanese.

Look, we're

police officers, okay?

We're trying to find out who broke into

your building and made a mess here.

Now just bear with us.

We got a lead on a guy.

Have you ever seen

this guy before?

Yeah yeah yeah.

He was here a couple days ago.

l don't even know his name

and l don't know what he's done,

but whatever it is,

l don't want any part of it.

Look, just tell us

everything you know.

Yeah, don't leave anything out.

The Jap saw him.

He knows where the component is.

What did he say to you?

Did he give you something?

Hey, look, who are these guys?

These guys aren't cops.

- Organized crime--

- Do you ever shut up?

He gave it to you, right?

He left it here with you. Where is it?

Look, l told you,

l don't know anything.

- l don't even know his name.

- You better start talking.

Now l promise l won't hurt you

if you tell me what you know.

- Now talk!

- Listen, he was a strange dude.

He came in and rented one

of my bays to fix his car.

- What kind of car?

- lt was a Toyota.

- The rental!

- He put the component in the car.

lt was there

all the time.

l hate this part

of the business.

Back off!

Back off.

Your friend's gonna get it.

l'm not kidding.

Come on.

Cover me!

Come on!

Tony-san, behind us.

Hang on!

Arrgh!

They're going to the car rental.

Come on.

l got a map here for you

just in case you get lost.

Nothing fancy now.

Just good solid transportation.

Thank you.

Just one moment, sir.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Police business.

l want to know about a car

that was brought in yesterday.

We have many fine cars

available, sir.

No, rental cars brought

in from police impound.

- Economy or luxury?

- Toyota.

- You got a name on that?

- Oshima.

O-shi.

- O-C?

- Shi. S-H-l.

- You okay?

- l'm very sorry.

- You all right?

- l barely touched it.

- l didn't know it was gonna be heavy.

- Okay.

You'll be all right.

- My purse!

- Block the ramp!

Give me my purse,

you shithead!

Hey, get out of the way!

Move it or l'll blow

your head off.

Come on.

Get the prototype.

lnside here.

No, not here.

- Tony-san

- l'm okay.

Go! Go! Go!

- Get up.

- Go! Go!

Get out of here!

The other way!

The wrong way!

No!

So tell me, what's going

to happen to Mr. Jarryd?

Oh, Jarryd?

Oh, he's got some kind

of immunity, as usual.

lf it was Japan he would

have to commit suicide

to save family honor.

Suicide? You do something

wrong in America

you don't commit suicide. You hire

the best lawyers money can buy

and then they murder

everybody else.

Ow!

Come on, cheer up.

You're going home.

l no like go home.

Look at me, broken leg.

Maybe no career.

No prototype, no Oshima.

Not true. Oshima's

on the same flight you are.

Come on.

Lighten up.

l could get into a lot

of trouble for this.

You're not gonna

get in trouble

Look, just go to the house and l'll call you

tomorrow. All right? Just go home.

Look, a friend of mine

works in duty free.

l got you a little gift.

No, please.

l don't want gift.

ln America it's an insult

not to take a gift.

Here.

No Japanese home should

be without one of these.

The prototype.

- Arigato

- Don't flash it around.

Thank you very much,

Tony-san.

But you, what kind

of police officer?

You bribe colleague.

You break, enter,

maybe steal

police evidence.

You make better crook

than cop.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Tony-san.

Thank you very much.

But why for you do this?

Hey, it's more

Japanese junk to me, pal.

Japanese junk?

Hey, Natsuo.

ls this how they do it?

No, this how they do it.

- See you later, pal.

- Sayonara, my friend.
