Tokyo Joe (1949) - full transcript
Joe Barrett returns to Tokyo after World War II where he once owned a bar, Tokyo Joe's, and deserted his wife Trina. They have a seven-year-old daughter. Kimura forces Joe into piloting war criminals by revealing that during the war Trina made treasonous propaganda broadcasts.
Passport, entry permit,
inoculation record,
billeting slip,
and your return ticket.
That's everything.
Thank you, Mr. Barrett.
Please report at
the Provost Marshal's office
by noon.
Is that an order, lieutenant?
Well, it's required.
Huh.
Oh, uh, could I leave this here
until I'm sure I can stay?
Yes, sir, of course.
Will you check this bag?
Colonel Dahlgren?
Passport number 2-7-6-3-2-2
just went through, sir.
Thank you, sir.
You'll find your papers
in room three.
Breaking into Tokyo's
tougher than breaking
out of Alcatraz.
What do I get now, a check for...
Shh. Don't give them
any ideas, sir.
No...
Stand as close to the bar
as you can, sir.
That's been one of my troubles.
What's that, sir?
I, uh... skip it.
Yes, sir.
That's it, sir.
You own property here in Tokyo?
7-11 Nichome, Ginza.
What sort of business
did you operate there
before the war?
A joint... gambling.
Tokyo Joe's.
And you're Mr. Joseph Barrett?
That's right, major.
At present, of course,
we can't license Americans
to operate enterprises
of that category.
Yes, I found that out Stateside
when I filled out
that stack of forms.
Now, look here.
I'm a voter, a taxpayer,
and an ex-servicemen,
but I'm not allowed
to make a living
out of a business I built up
out of my own dough.
Do I get permission
to look at the place...
That is, if it's still there?
Tokyo Joe's appears to be
off limits at the moment.
It's operated by a Japanese.
If he makes any difficulty
about letting you in...
He's a friend of mine.
Your visitor's permit
will be good for 60 days.
What if that isn't enough time
to finish my business?
It'll have to be, I'm afraid.
Years ago, I picked Tokyo
to be my hometown.
I was all set.
I had everything I wanted
in the world.
Now it's been kicked around
and I can't even...
You object to its having been
kicked around?
I helped kick it around,
and if it happens again,
I'll do the same thing.
I'm sorry, colonel.
Skip the rank.
I gave up
being an officer
and a gentleman
when I turned in
my little brown suit.
Thanks, major.
On passport 2-7-6-3-2-2,
please mark prints and photos
for the attention
of Colonel Dahlgren.
Nichome, Ginza.
Excuse, please.
Off limit. So sorry.
Where's Ito?
Not understanding. Off limit.
Oh, so that's not a bar,
this isn't Tokyo Joe's,
and you never heard of Ito, huh?
Thank you. Goodbye, please.
Go, please.
Ito!
Joe!
Baby!
This is great!
When did you get in?
I just got through
all the red tape.
Hey, you look wonderful.
Ah, you put on
a little bit, huh?
What's the matter?
You lost your corkscrew?
Oh, very sorry.
This way, please.
I saved this for you
all through
the bombings, Joe-san.
San? When did you start
calling me "mister"?
What's the idea
of all this
Japanese politeness
to a pal, anyway?
What's the matter with you?
Come on, Ito, give.
Joe, you are an American.
I am a Japanese.
Are you kidding?
The war's been over for years.
I still feel very bad
about everything.
Oh, I see.
You're the guy that thought up
the whole
Pearl Harbor deal, huh?
It's not funny, Joe-san, and...
and now we are ashamed
because you treat us decently.
What did you think
we were going to do?
Come in here
and roust you around?
Yes, that's what
we all did think,
Joe-san.
Look, I just came 8000 miles
to see you.
We're partners, remember?
I'm the guy that learned you
the best Brooklyn English,
while you used to teach me judo.
You haven't
forgotten that, have you?
Come on, let's see
if you can still go.
Please don't, Joe.
Oh, come on.
Please, we'll get pinched.
Japanese and
Americas can't ever
have judo s hiai n o more.
Oh, there's no MPs around here.
Now, protect yourself
before I bounce you
off the ceiling.
Why, you dirty murderer.
What you been doing
since you got your discharge,
Joe?
Believe it or not,
I got sucked into
a legitimate racket
and it ruined me.
What racket?
A Jerkwater airline.
First I fly the seat
off my pants...
And then
they repossess the pants.
No worry about that here.
We're making out okay, huh?
Terrible.
Nobody's got any real dough.
What's our angle?
Angle? We just run a restaurant.
No black market at all, eh?
Why, Joe, the black market
has been wiped out.
It's like music
hearing you lie again, Ito.
Makes me want to cry.
Nix, nix...
A headlock ain't judo.
My mistake.
Think nothing of it.
Hey, you dog,
you busted my back.
No kidding, Joe?
Yeah, but I can
still use my legs.
How do you feel now?
I feel great, Joe.
Hey...
Kanda.
Hey, wait a minute.
That's my watch.
It don't pay
to let Kanda get too close.
It sure don't.
That guy's a great artist.
It this why
you've been writing me
to come back to Japan?
Is this guy the big deal
you've been talking about?
What are we going to do,
get rich managing a pickpocket?
Do you remember Kimura Danshaku?
Used to be head
of the secret police?
The Baron Kimura.
Is he still around?
Look, Joe...
Come on upstairs.
They don't understand
a word of English...
Unless they listen.
I got your old quarters
all fixed up for you.
Even had the roof put back on.
I'll have Kanda
take your bag up, huh?
No.
No, I...
I think I'd better
stay over at the Teito Hotel.
Over my dead body.
This is your home.
Kanda...
Hey, uh, what ever became
of that rat-trap hotel
that used to be right next door?
The B-29s converted it
into a parking lot.
Well, it's lucky
they stopped when they did
or all Tokyo would have
been a parking lot.
Next time, it'll be
the whole world,
and nothing left to park.
You know, I...

Like it? How could I like it?
All right, she's dead.
I came back here knowing that.
I shouldn't have let you
con me into coming back.
But Joe, Trina ain't dead.
I should have stayed
in the States.
What did you just say?
Sure, the papers
just had it balled up.
She's right here in Tokyo.
She's fine, Joe.
I just seen her last week.
Where does she live?
What's her address?
Oh, 18 Senkomae-cho, Nakano-ku.
18 Senkomae-cho, Nakano-ku!
Yes?
Is, uh, Miss Petchnikoff in?
I'm here to see
Miss Petchnikoff, please.
Dozo.
Mr. and Mrs. Landis live here.
Uh, look, I don't care
who she's working for,
just tell Trina Petchnikoff
there's somebody here
to see her.
Will you, please?
No, very sorry,
no Miss Petchnikoff.
Not know...
I'll be right in there, pigeon.
You'd better bring her to me
before I start looking for her.
Hello, kid.
Joe!
Oh, you look good.
Just like I remembered you.
Come on.
We'll pack your stuff.
We're going home,
back to our place.
Baby, I know
I walked out on you,
but I got wise
to myself pretty fast
and it wouldn't have
been seven days
if I could have got back here,
but there was that war
in there, remember?
Please go away, Joe.
Oh, don't you think
that I don't know I lost
when I walked out on you.
I found out the hard way,
and I've been sweating it out
for seven years.
Stop it.
Kid, you don't know it,
but you hit
an awful lot
of beach-heads with me
and I was never scared enough
or bushed enough or sick enough,
or bad enough hurt
so as I could ever stop thinking
what you used to be like.
Please, Joe.
Let me tell it to you, kid.
I thought you were dead.
I mean it.
That's what they told me.
What a payoff. Like it was true,
I believed it.
Now I've got you back again.
I'm married, Joe.
What?
Where do you get off
doing a thing like that?
I was driving myself crazy
thinking you were dead.
Answer me!
What kind of a way is that
to treat a guy?
Who is this fellow?
My husband's name
is Mark Landis.
What does he do?
He's in SCAP legal section.
This is our home.
But it can't be.
You're married to me.
I divorced you, Joe.
Trina...
Listen to me.
I don't ever plan
to live without you again
and I can prove you belong to me
anytime I put my hands on you.
Yes?
Good evening, Hideko-san.
Is Mrs. Landis at home?
Is that him?
Yes.
Okay, I'd like to meet him.
Hello, dear.
Darling, Joe Barrett is here.
Oh.
Well, in that case
we either throw him out
or give him a drink.
Let's give him a drink, huh?
We usually have martinis.
Is that all right with you?
Bourbon.
Oh.
Dozo.
Hello, Mr. Barrett.
Nice to meet you.
I've heard all about
you, of course.
You have?
Well, this, uh,
calls for some sort
of a celebration,
doesn't it, or does it?
Hmm.
Before we, uh, start
being too sophisticated,
there's a few things
about Trina and me
you don't know.
Oh, I expect not.
As I understand it,
Trina was one of the
many White Russian girls
in Tokyo before the war...
fine family and
education, no money.
Then she went to work
singing at your nightclub
or gambling joint
or whatever it was you operated
while the police
turned their backs,
Then in 1941,
you two were married,
but one way or another,
that didn't
work out very well,
and a couple of weeks
before Pearl Harbor,
you left the country,
and so Trina divorced you
after the war.
Now I'm proud to sa...
I'm somewhat astonished to say
she's Mrs. Landis.
Was there something else?
Just one thing.
I'm taking her back.
Trina, if you don't mind,
I'd like to talk to Mr.
Barrett
alone.
But I have a right
to hear anything that's said.
Trina, please do as I say.
Well, Mr. Barrett,
I imagine there's at least
one thing we can agree on.
We'd both like Trina to be
as happy as possible.
I'll buy that.
You messed up her life
pretty thoroughly
while you had the chance,
now you're back
wanting to start in
all over again,
or would it be
different this time?
This time it will.
Aren't you missing the point?
Trina is happy now,
as things are, with me.
That's a lot of detail.
The most important thing
hasn't even been mentioned.
And what's that?
She belongs to me
and she knows it.
All this, uh,
divorce business...
I wasn't here when it happened.
I don't recognize it.
That's why you can't talk me out
of taking her back
where she belongs.
Then we've nothing more
to say, have we?
Trina, I'll be waiting for you.
I know you're a big shot,
Mr. Landis.
You can probably
make a lot of trouble for me
around here...
have me thrown
out of the country.
Well, perhaps you'd better
do that,
because if I have enough time...
well, you play it your way,
I'll pay it mine.
Arigato.
Darling, you're my husband,
this is my home,
and with all my heart,
it's forever.
You've got to get
rid of him, Mark.
Do something. Send him away.
Well, his visitor's permit
will be up in 60 days.
Two months. That's a long time.
He's not like you, Mark,
he's dangerous.
He...
You see, I did love him
desperately those days.
Yes, you told me all that.
I used to turn weak
whenever he touched me
or looked at me,
or even came into the room.
I'd hear him
coming up the stairs
and be at the door
waiting for him.
Of course I know now,
because you've
taught me, Mark,
that there is so much more
to love and marriage
than I ever knew before.
Still, anything
that used to be so strong...
is it ever entirely gone?
Is it safe to expose yourself
to it again?
I mean, I...
Oh, darling, don't you
understand what I mean?
Of course I do, darling,
and it's my job
to give you a hand
when you're troubled and scared.
The question is, how?
Well, I'm sorry
to be so impatient,
Baron Kimura,
but you see,
there's so little time left
before my visitor's permit
expires...
that is, unless I can get an
airline franchise for us.
Then you could stay longer.
You like
the new Japan so much,
Mr. Barrett?
Well, I've got some
personal business to do here.
I may need a little more time
than they'll give me.
All right.
Now, you, as a Japanese,
haven't got
a chance of getting
an airline franchise,
but I, as an American veteran,
might have,
so I front for you.
I operate the line
you actually control.
We carry freight.
What kind?
All such tiresome details
will be my responsibility.
I see.
So, I just, uh,
carry anything
you load on the plane,
no questions asked,
just take orders?
A Japanese does
not give orders
to an American, Mr. Barrett.
Uh-huh.
So I'll be taking orders.
I'm sorry, Mr. Barrett,
but I'm afraid
we can't get together.
Forgive me for having taken
so much of your time.
Let us hope at least
that the remainder
of your 60 days in Japan
will be enjoyable.
Wait a minute.
This is a deal
as far as I'm concerned.
Ah, so.
Then you will proceed
at your convenience.
Uh, maybe now you won't mind
letting me in on it...
I mean, the kind of freight
I'll be carrying.
For the most part...
frozen frogs...
A delicacy we export
to North and South America.
Okay, frozen frogs
we export to North
and South America.
Thank you.
So pleasant.

Captain...
Captain, remember me?
The airline permit?
I was here Monday morning.
I was here Tuesday afternoon.
I was back again
Thursday morning...
Have you completed form 67?
I have completed form 67...
67 times
at the Finance Building,
the Dai-Ichi Building,
the Mitsubishi Building,
the Forestry Building.
Mr. Barrett,
this is the Forestry Building.
Oh, yes, here it is.
Not form 12.
I spent all yesterday
on that baby.
Form 12 is obsolete,
no longer necessary.
Oh, no.
Well, they ought to have
informed you
at the Kokubu Building.
Well, everything
appears to be in order.
Well, then, is this the place
where I get the permit?
Well, yes, eventually.
Event... What?
First, your whole application
has to be reviewed for policy.
Well, how many weeks
will that take?
And of course,
it could take months
if any of this
requires checking Stateside.
Look, captain,
I haven't got months.
I've only got 52 days.
I'm trying to make a living.
I'm trying to go into business.
But, Mr. Barrett,
the occupation
has one or two problems
which may have to take
precedence.
You'll be notified,
if you're still here.
Thank you, captain.
Oh, not at all, sir.
He's been here again.
How does he expect to make money
out of a little freight airline,
under the present
economic setup in Japan?
Somebody could be trying
to deal a few off
the bottom of the deck.
Yes, sir.
If I know anything
about the army,
I'll be back in the States
about two months
before I get an answer.
Hmm, how interesting.
To bow low and to be put off
without answer or apology.
Yeah.
Well, what do we do now?
Hiro-san.
I am still in a position
to apply some small pressure
where it may help us.
These are from the files
of the Japanese secret police.
And this one...
will interest you.
It can make
an important man
help us.
Oh.
Baron...
you know, you people
are pretty clever
about forging things like this.
Ah, so.
Go ask Mrs. Landis.
Dozo.
Joe, you can't start
coming here like this.
What did you do during the war?
I was in the Oyama Prison camp.
How long were you in Oyama?
When did they let you out?
Why did they let you out, Trina?
You worked for the Japanese
during the war.
You broadcast
defeat propaganda
to our GIs in the Pacific.
I just saw the Japanese
secret police file on you.
You're a naturalized
American citizen,
married to
an American citizen
in war time.
That's treason.
Listen, Joe.
My baby was born
in Oyama prison.
When she was two weeks old,
they took her away from me.
I didn't know where she was,
whether she was sick
or starving.
For days, I was sure
she was dead.
I almost went crazy.
Then, they finally
told me she was alive,
and I could have her back if I...
All right...
I did a terrible thing.
When I was doing it, I...
I despised myself.
I've despised myself ever since.
All right, I did
what they wanted...
sure, I broadcast for them.
I said what they told me to say.
What mother wouldn't try
to save her baby's life?
Well, I see.
Well, if these are the facts,
I don't suppose
any jury would convict you.
Look, a few days ago,
I told your husband
he was a big shot.
Now I'm the big shot.
I've got all the cards.
If I go to the newspapers
with this information,
your husband's out of a job
and your marriage blows up
in your face.
"Wife of high SCAP official
tried for treason."
He'd love that,
and so would the top brass
here and in Washington.
Suppose you take a little time
and think that over.
It's not only Mark and me.
You'd be hurting a child too.
What do I care about your child?
Nani-san.
Trina...
When was this picture taken?
Four years ago,
when she was three.
Wait a minute.
When you were
in Oyama Prison camp,
the war was still on.
You hadn't even met this Landis,
you couldn't have.
That's right.
Well, I held all the cards...
What a hand I got now.
I left you alone,
an enemy alien,
in a country about to go to war,
a baby coming...
I ought to be
real proud of myself...
"What do I care about your kid?"
Well, boy, oh, boy.
Why didn't you tell me?
When you walked out on me,
I didn't know.
Who's he, Mother?
It's Mr. Barrett, darling.
Say "How do you do?" to him.
How do you do, Mr. Barrett?
Well, hello, baby.
I'm not a baby, Mr. Barrett.
Oh.
Well...
what's your first name?
Anya.
Uh, how old are you?
I'm going on seven.
Well, Anya, I...
What do you say to a kid?
If it's a girl,
you can always tell her
she's pretty.
Why wouldn't she be?
What are you looking at?
You.
That's not a very good
picture of me, Mr. Barrett.
What you smiling at?
Here's Nani-san.
Time for your nap, darling.
I want to stay and talk
some more to Mr. Barrett.
I'm going to have a birthday.
Will you come
to my birthday party?
I'll try, honey.
Anya, Nani-san in waiting.
Well, all right then.
Goodbye.
Don't forget, you're supposed
to bring a present.
Yeah, well, the thing is,
maybe I jumped into this deal
too fast.
The more I think about it,
the more I'm convinced
I'm not the front you want
for your set-up,
so I think
you ought to let
me off the hook
and no hard feelings.
Ah, so...
Of course, I can understand
how you hate to have a thing
like this treason charge and...
And never use it.
It will be used,
one way or another.
Why?
If I'm not in,
you don't get
your airline anyway...
But you are going to be in,
Mr. Barrett.
I can't get an airline
without your help,
and I must have it.
That's final, huh?
If I should die...
my files are in
responsible hands.
Well then, Joe, do I interview
Mr.
Landis tomorrow, or do you?
I'll do it.
Tell Colonel Eckles I'm sorry,
but I'll be about
10 minutes late.
Oh, hello, Barrett.
I'm sorry to have
kept you waiting.
Won't you sit down?
I, uh...
sure do appreciate
your seeing me this way,
Mr. Landis.
I... I mean, after the way
I sounded off at your house.
What can I do for you?
Uh, well, a guy's
got to make a living.
Here I...
I just lost three years
out of my life in the service,
and well,
now the war is over and...
What is it you want, money?
Oh, oh, no,
it's nothing like that, sir.
Just trying to start
a little veteran's enterprise,
but they've got me
so tied up in red tape...
It, well, it doesn't look
like I'm going to get
to first base
before my visitor's permit
expires.
Yeah, it's tough, isn't it?
Well, I... I... I mean... I...
I thought a man
in your position...
well, uh, you must... uh...
Do a lot of favors
for some of the other
big shots, and...
Yeah, I think I know somebody
who may be able to speed
things up a little bit.
Get me General Andrews, please.
Oh, I sure do
appreciate that, Mr. Landis.
You can put the hat down now.
You know, I think you do
that poor old soldier stuff
just about as badly
as I've ever seen it done.
Part doesn't really suit you.
Hello?
Yes, I'm calling
General Andrews.
Of course, I know
why you want to stay in Japan.
You think that
if I give you a little time,
you'll still be able
to take my wife away from me.
Hello, Andy.
Where have you been
keeping yourself?
Why, sure.
Sure, any time.
Tonight? Fine, fine.
Look, Andy, I'm sending
a fellow over to see you...
a friend of mine.
Uh, he's a veteran.
Wants to start
a little business,
but we've got him
all bogged down in red tape
so he can't operate.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
You guys were
with the Flying Tigers.
That's right.
Then...
two years
on the Hong Kong-Macao run.
What made you quit that outfit?
The freight superintendent
was dishonest...
Uh-huh.
If, uh...
if you guys
don't get a job with me,
what are you going to do
when your
transit visa expires?
Go back to the States?
I see.
Well, I suppose
you're both over 18.
We were over 18 when we were 15.
Okay, you're hired.
We don't speak any Japanese.
You'll carry a supercargo
who does.
Any of you guys speak English?
Yes.
You really
speak English?
Oh, yes.
All right, come on in.
Have you ever
been up in a plane?
Oh, yes.
Hmm? Where?
Imperial Japanese Air force.
I was a fighter pilot.
Hey, can you hire
a Japanese veteran?
He's off limits even being
on an airfield, isn't he?
Well, I don't get it myself,
but here's his work permit.
What's your name?
Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa.
The closest I'll ever get
to that one is, "Kamikaze."
That's close enough for me.
All right, we'll try you.
Well, I suppose you fellows
would like to take
a look at the plane.
A C-60, huh?
Yeah. I picked it up
from war surplus.
Got a good buy too.
I'll bet I know
who flew this heap first.
Yeah, who?
The Wright Brothers.
Frozen frogs.
Don't we carry anything
but frozen frogs?
Well, there was that
load of chrysanthemums
the other day.
Imagine eating them things.
Huh. I guess rich people
eat anything.
Come on, pick that stuff up.
Get it on the truck.
What's the matter with you guys?
Hayaku.
Now, wait a minute.
What do you say
these things are?
Frozen bull-frogs.
All right, get it out of here.
Do you want this
stuff to spoil?
No penicillin, no saccharine,
no pearls...
just frozen frogs like he said.
I don't like it, Joe.
Yeah, me too.
The baron has something
awful big up his sleeve.
Big enough to get us
a steady job on the rock pile
for about 20 years.
Joe...
you got to get
out of this thing
while there is still time.
I can't get off the hook now
and you know why.
We'll just have to
sweat this out.
Handle whatever it is
when it happens.
You want some more coffee?
Huh? Oh, no, thanks.
Don't you think we should be
starting back to town?
I don't get it.
All I know is
that he don't need an airline
just to fly the stuff
you've been carrying.
Not Baron Kimura. Not him.
Uh-huh.
Joe, maybe if you went to him
and said that
you had changed your mind
about living in Japan...
You want to go back
to the States and...
What do you give a kid?
I mean, what do you give a kid
for a birthday present?
A boy or a girl?
Oh, a little girl
about seven years old.
What kind of girl is she?
What kind of girl?
That's a dumb question.
She's, uh...
Well, she's just a kid I know
that's got
a birthday coming up.
Oh, never mind.
Come on, pal, let's get
out of this rat trap
and go back to town.
Trina...
Yes, Mark?
It doesn't seem to be
much of a night for sleep
at the Landises, does it?
Even poor little Anya.
She's so excited about
her party tomorrow.
I don't think
I'm going to be able
to get back from the office
n time for it, either.
Really?
What's the matter?
Oh, is he coming?
Anya asked him,
but I don't really
think he will...
He may.
So you have to stay up
all night, worrying?
You're so sweet, Mark.
Thank you.
Come on, come on. Hurry.
I want to present to Anya-san.
Anya-san tea party.
Oh, no, I'm not coming in.
I just want
to leave this for her.
Dozo.
Say, wait a minute,
take this, will you?
Mr. Barrett!
Mr. Barrett!
Where were you going,
Mr. Barrett?
That's not polite
on a person's birthday.
You have to come in
and eat some ice cream
and birthday cake,
and wish me
many happy returns
of the day, and...
Is that for me?
Well, it sure is.
And a happy birthday.
Isn't it beautiful?
What do you think's inside?
Well, I know what's inside.
Do you really? What?
Well, open the box, darling.
Hello, Joe.
Well, I just dropped in
to leave this.
The young lady surrounded me.
I hope it's what I'm sure it is.
Is it?
Well, I sure hope it is.
It is. It's what I thought.
Mother, look.
It's beautiful, dear.
Oh, thank you.
Okay.
Doesn't he want
to kiss me for it?
I'm sure he does.
Now kiss the baby.
Oh, no.
All right,
I'll call the children.
Children, everybody, come in.
Ice cream and cake.
Oh, ice cream and cake!
Will you stay and have
some ice cream and cake?
Huh?
Will you stay and have
some ice cream and cake?
Oh, yes, I'll stay
a little while.
Oh, goody!
What's the use
of kidding ourselves?
What is it, Nani-san?
Yes?
Baron Kimura asks you to come
to his house quickly, please.
I wonder how he knew I was here.
Kimura,
he's a very dangerous man.
Darling, be careful of him.
Is he the one who showed
you the file on me?
Well, don't you worry about him.
I'll take care of myself, and...
And you too.
What's the big idea
you got to go this time?
Orders from the baron.
Maybe I'll find out why
when I get there.
Don't you think
I ought to come too?
Who takes care of the nightclub?
You stay here.
Hey, Joe, what's
with the Kamikaze?
He's awful quiet.
Maybe he doesn't like the way
you guys are
flying this thing.
What cargo are we
picking up in Seoul?
A load of antique pottery.
All set.
Okay, let's shove.
Hey, Joe.
What about this?
I pay you guys
pretty good, don't I?
That was boxes.
This here's big stuff.
You could use
a few extra bucks,
couldn't you?
How much?
A couple of hundred to split.
A couple of hundred each.
Okay, a couple of hundred each.
Well, shove.
All those Japanese
look alike for my dough.
Nippon American C-60
on north runway,
cleared for Tokyo.
Can we take off?
I'll get it, darling.
Be ready soon?
I am ready now.
Yes? Oh, Colonel Dahlgren.
I haven't had the pleasure
of speaking to you
in a long time.
I beg your pardon.
I'm sorry, I don't
quite understand.
Barrett?
Yes. Yes, but...
Barrett, yes, but why?
How could anyone be such a fool?
Yes.
Yes...
Yes, I see.
Hello? Colonel Dahlgren?
I thought
we'd been disconnected.
Yes, I see.
Yes, of course.
Any information I can give...
I'll be down there
in 20 minutes.
I'm sorry, darling,
I've been called away
to the Dai-Ichi Building...
Colonel Dahlgren's office.
It seemed quite urgent...
Oh...
Maybe you'd better drop me there
and go on to the party
by yourself.
All right, Mark.
♪ I never knew
That dreams came true
♪ And took your cares...
♪ Away
♪ I never knew...
♪ What love could do...
Kimura been around?
Not all day, Joe. But he phoned.
Well?
Tomorrow he wants you
to make the same run again.
That guy won't be satisfied
until he has me saying
"Good morning"
to a firing squad.
Joe, what do you say
we go downstairs?
That new kid we got singing
is packing them in
like old times.
Oh, you go.
♪ An airline ticket
To romantic places
♪ And still my heart Has wings
♪ These foolish things
Remind me of you... ♪
Joe, you're in terrible trouble.
They know all about
your last flight
at the Dai-Ichi Building.
If I try to make a run for it
how much time have I got?
I don't know.
Did he tell you this?
Of course not.
If I can only get to that plane.
Hey, wait a minute.
What about you?
No, please,
you've got to
save yourself now.
You got into this mess
trying to help me,
didn't you, Joe, didn't you?
Trying to help us both, I guess.
♪ You came, you saw
You conquered me... ♪
You couldn't wait
to tell him,
could you, Trina?
That's right, I couldn't,
because it's my fault
he's in this trouble.
I got in this for the dough
and no other reason.
Your fault?
During the war, I...
Trina!
I think you'd better tell me
what this is all about.
I broadcast for the Japanese.
Kimura knows it.
He was going
to blackmail us both.
Joe got into this to stop him.
They forced her to broadcast.
They took away her kid.
And you thought
I wouldn't stand by you
in that kind of trouble?
I knew you would,
no matter how
much it hurt you.
That's why
I was afraid to tell you.
That was very sweet of you,
darling...
and very silly.
I hope General Ireton
is in his office still.
What do you gain
by turning her in now?
What do you gain
if you don't turn her in?
Outside of Kimura and me,
nobody knows.
I know now.
Look, Joe, believe me,
I'm thinking
of all three of us...
Anya too.
And I'm a pretty good lawyer.
All right, sergeant.
All right, Colonel Dahlgren.
Ready, sir.
Here, Mr. Barrett..
We have a record
of your activities
since you arrived
several weeks ago.
These activities
are of interest to us.
Especially the fact
that you've been fronting for
a Japanese
criminal enterprise.
No doubt, you're familiar
with the penalties prescribed
under the articles of war
for entering into a conspiracy
against the United States,
and, incidentally,
against the people of Japan.
The man you flew
in this morning
was nobody important.
The whole trip
was just a trial run.
On your next flight to Korea,
scheduled for tomorrow,
by the way,
you are to bring back
three who are important.
Lieutenant General Takenobu,
known to his admirers
as "The Butcher."
His Chief of Staff,
Colonel Hara.
And the almost legendary,
present emeritus of
the Black Dragon Society,
Naojiro Goru.
When three such outstanding
fugitive war criminals
risk a return to Japan,
the outlines
of Kimura's conspiracy
become fairly clear...
To revive the Black Dragon
underground movement,
build up hatred and fanaticism
among disgruntled
Japanese veterans...
And we've had to give
some of those
men a rough time,
and Takenobu was the one general
who avoided actual defeat
in the field...
The one man
who could
really organize them.
At worst,
it could mean we'd be faced
with a bloody uprising
that the vast majority
of the Japanese people
knows to be against
its own best interest
and you're up to your neck
in this communist-inspired,
communist-directed plan,
Mr. Barrett.
Do you deny it?
No.
Why waste
the big speech now, colonel?
Why don't you save it
for my trial?
A very intelligent question.
Any other questions?
Yes, sir.
When I pick up these babies,
where do you want them
delivered?
Haneda will do.
Uh, gentlemen...
Yes, Mr. Barrett?
What happens
if I take off tonight
and don't come back?
We have confidence in you
for two very good reasons...
Your war record,
and your real motive
for getting into
this mess originally.
We happen to know that
you've been trying
to shield a certain...
One moment, please.
All I know of this case
is in that folder.
Beyond that, I'm not
obliged to take action
on anything
that isn't brought
to my attention officially.
All right, sir.
We have confidence in you
because of your war record,
Mr. Barrett.
Anything else
you'd like to know?
Well, yes, sir.
All this...
hot information about my...
conspiracy...
where'd you get that?
From a man who called himself
Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa.
Why, that's Kamikaze.
One of my smartest agents.
Your Kamikaze was a count
in private life...
one of the really big pedigrees.
And he fought us all out
during the war.
Here it is.
I like to look at it sometimes
when I get discouraged
with the job here.
Turn it off, Jack.
Well, Barrett, does that
clear up all the questions?
Well, just one more thing, sir.
When I deliver
your three bad boys,
what do I get,
a radio in my cell
at Leavenworth?
You deliver them
and you'll get television.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, shove.
Cleared for take off.
Bon voyage.
Hold it! Hold it.
Now, what's the idea
of showing up around here?
It's too risky.
If my partner can risk going
to the Dai-Ichi Building
for a chat with the general...
They were just making
a routine check
on our operation.
Ah, so.
If everything goes
as well as yesterday,
word ought to reach me
at the place
where I'll be waiting,
not later than 1:00
tomorrow morning.
If you've got
any ideas about me,
why don't you just
call this flight off?
Now...
too late.
By the way, wasn't it horrible
about the Landis child?
What?
The child
and her little nurse...
What's her name? Nani-san...
Went for a walk...
They simply went
for their afternoon walk
and haven't returned yet.
But I feel certain
she will return,
say, by 1:00 tomorrow morning.
Where do you want
those men delivered?
You will be instructed
during your return flight.
How do I know I can trust you?
But we are partners, Joe...
we have to trust each other.
Nip-Am 77 calling X-3 Star.
Come in, X-3 Star.
Dahlgren,
this is Barrett talking.
Is it true about the Landis kid?
Yes, she's missing. Over.
Well, put a tail on Kimura.
We're six weeks
ahead of you. Over.
Yeah, but don't pick him up,
don't be cute,
don't crowd him.
We want that kid back.
That's what we want.
Exactly what's
your information,
Barrett? Over.
Kimura
will be waiting some place
about 1:00 in the morning
to meet the guys
we're bringing in.
A good guess that's where
they'll have the kid,
but if you try to make
any arrests
before you get her back,
you know what they'll do to her.
Don't worry, Barrett.
Proceed with your mission.
Over.
You sure better
have that kid safe
before we got back from Korea.
I think you'd better have
some coffee, Mrs. Landis.
General Ireton, I'm sorry,
but I keep thinking
how frightened she must be.
Dahlgren...
Oh, well, keep on it, major.
Of course,
our men have
hours to work yet.
Barrett won't even be
starting back from Korea
until after dark.
Starting to pick up
their signal.
Yeah, they're calling us.
Nip-Am 77 to X-3 Star.
Get back there and keep
an eye those guys.
Go ahead, X-3 Star.
Go ahead, X-3 Star.
Barrett talking.
Yeah, sure, I have them.
All three of them.
Have you got the kid?
Proceed to Haneda as ordered.
Proceed to Haneda as ordered.
Do you hear me, Nip-Am? Over.
Have you got the kid?
Confirm order to proceed
to Haneda. Over.
Have you got the kid?
This is Ireton...
You're operating
under military law, Barrett.
Proceed directly to Haneda.
That's an order.
We'll set down at Hayashi,
like the three
little pigs told us.
Look Joe, I'm sorry
about the kid,
but I'm not bucking SCAP.
All right, I'll take it in.
I'm still pilot...
And I'm responsible
if we don't set
down at Haneda.
Put it on automatic pilot.
You, get up.
All right, out here.
Well, I guess that settles
our little argument.
Can you fly this thing?
Better than you.
Where you going to
set us down? Hayashi?
Okuma...
Okuma...
Where's that?
A little bombed-out
air strip west of Yokohama.
Surface on it like a waffle.
How come you had
that little strip covered?
We had every strip
in Honshu covered.
Captain, you people know
exactly where Kimura is,
don't you?
We know
where he's not...
at his house.
The guy that drove the truck.
What about him?
Well, he knows where
he was supposed to take
those people.
It might be
where Kimura's got
the little girl.
You'd better let me talk to him.
We've only got until 1:00.
You'll do your talking
to Colonel Dahlgren.
I don't know, colonel.
These goofy Orientals stop me.
All right, buster,
now it's your turn.
Where's Baron Kimura?
Come on, you know
where Kimura is.
You know where
he's holding that child.
Why don't you tell us?
Where's Kimura?
Where's Kimura?
Okay, peach blossom.
Where's Kimura?
All right, inside.
That's all.
Get up.
Why, Mr. Barrett,
you must have
bumped into something.
Here, mop it up.
Oh, excuse me.
Is he dead?
Yeah.
It was working too.
He'd have taken you there.
Now we're worse off than before.
Yeah, he kept talking about
some cellar.
There's a million
cellars in the city.
And a man named Kanda.
And about
a quarter of a million
Kandas.
All right, let's bring
everything out to the open.
Japanese police,
house-to-house search,
everything.
Hey, wait a minute.
I got a hunch I know the Kanda
he was talking about.
Please.
Interrupt all radio programs,
broadcast a continuous appeal
to the people of Tokyo.
Colonel, the minute
you go on the air,
they'll kill that kid for sure.
What's your alternative,
Mr. Barrett?
It'll be 1:00 in 55 minutes.
If we haven't taken
some action
before this thing happens...
Yeah, nobody
can argue with that.
Sure, the kid will be dead,
and your official neck
won't be out one inch.
Exactly what are you suggesting?
♪ ...Then you did that to me
♪ I knew somehow...
♪ ...Oh, how the ghost
Of you clings
♪ These foolish things
Remind me of you ♪
Where's Kanda?
Come on, I got to locate him.
It don't do you any good, Joe.
They'll just kill her
if you try to find her.
They'll kill her
if I don't find her.
Oh, my friend,
why did you have to do it?
I brought this whole thing
on you, Joe.
Already did enough harm.
They'll knock you off too.
You're still covering up
for Kimura, huh?
Don't you understand
what guys like that
have done to you?
For a thousand years,
they've made suckers out of you,
and all they wanted
was the gravy,
and guys like you down
on your hands and knees
to hand it up to them.
You think we're the real enemies
because we're occupying Japan.
Well, do you know
why we're doing it?
To help the Japanese people
stand up on their hind legs
like men and women have
a right to in this world.
And you still don't get it?
Some of us get it now, baby...
Then where is she? Where is she?
Basement next door, Joe...
Old hotel the B-29s burned.
The entrance is under the sheds.
Sayonara, pal.
That's the entrance
over there
under that shed.
Now, you got the set-up.
I go in alone, and if I
don't come out by 1:00,
you come in fast.
I got it. How are you
with one of these things?
Just fair...
Don't do any wild shooting
if it's dark in there.
You could hit
the wrong person.
Okay.
I'm so glad to see you,
Mr. Barrett. I'm so glad.
Now, it's all right, honey.
Now, come on...
I'll take you home
to your mother.
You'll be all right, baby.
Don't cry, baby,
it'll be all right.
I want my mommy!
Easy now.
Mama! Mama!
Mama! Mama! Mama!
You all in one piece, pal?
Yeah, I guess so.
Get the general.
Anya! Mama!
We're much obliged...
Very much obliged,
Colonel Barrett.
Darling...
Darling, are you all right?
Darling...
Stretcher, on the double.
How is he, major?
Very bad, sir,
but we'll try
to pull him through.
Joe...
Trina...
Anya's okay?
Yes.
Trina, you are coming back
to me, aren't you?
I am back, Joe.
Well, don't cry about it.
The best is yet to come...
Wait and see.
I've got a lot of things
to tell you...
things that I always
meant to say and never did.
There's a lot of things
a guy intends to do,
and somehow I...
I don't know,
he gets messed up, and...
But I won't anymore.
I'll... I'll be fine
for you this time,
and the kid too.
What are you looking at, baby?
You.
See you a little later, kid.
Sure, Joe...
See you a little later.
inoculation record,
billeting slip,
and your return ticket.
That's everything.
Thank you, Mr. Barrett.
Please report at
the Provost Marshal's office
by noon.
Is that an order, lieutenant?
Well, it's required.
Huh.
Oh, uh, could I leave this here
until I'm sure I can stay?
Yes, sir, of course.
Will you check this bag?
Colonel Dahlgren?
Passport number 2-7-6-3-2-2
just went through, sir.
Thank you, sir.
You'll find your papers
in room three.
Breaking into Tokyo's
tougher than breaking
out of Alcatraz.
What do I get now, a check for...
Shh. Don't give them
any ideas, sir.
No...
Stand as close to the bar
as you can, sir.
That's been one of my troubles.
What's that, sir?
I, uh... skip it.
Yes, sir.
That's it, sir.
You own property here in Tokyo?
7-11 Nichome, Ginza.
What sort of business
did you operate there
before the war?
A joint... gambling.
Tokyo Joe's.
And you're Mr. Joseph Barrett?
That's right, major.
At present, of course,
we can't license Americans
to operate enterprises
of that category.
Yes, I found that out Stateside
when I filled out
that stack of forms.
Now, look here.
I'm a voter, a taxpayer,
and an ex-servicemen,
but I'm not allowed
to make a living
out of a business I built up
out of my own dough.
Do I get permission
to look at the place...
That is, if it's still there?
Tokyo Joe's appears to be
off limits at the moment.
It's operated by a Japanese.
If he makes any difficulty
about letting you in...
He's a friend of mine.
Your visitor's permit
will be good for 60 days.
What if that isn't enough time
to finish my business?
It'll have to be, I'm afraid.
Years ago, I picked Tokyo
to be my hometown.
I was all set.
I had everything I wanted
in the world.
Now it's been kicked around
and I can't even...
You object to its having been
kicked around?
I helped kick it around,
and if it happens again,
I'll do the same thing.
I'm sorry, colonel.
Skip the rank.
I gave up
being an officer
and a gentleman
when I turned in
my little brown suit.
Thanks, major.
On passport 2-7-6-3-2-2,
please mark prints and photos
for the attention
of Colonel Dahlgren.
Nichome, Ginza.
Excuse, please.
Off limit. So sorry.
Where's Ito?
Not understanding. Off limit.
Oh, so that's not a bar,
this isn't Tokyo Joe's,
and you never heard of Ito, huh?
Thank you. Goodbye, please.
Go, please.
Ito!
Joe!
Baby!
This is great!
When did you get in?
I just got through
all the red tape.
Hey, you look wonderful.
Ah, you put on
a little bit, huh?
What's the matter?
You lost your corkscrew?
Oh, very sorry.
This way, please.
I saved this for you
all through
the bombings, Joe-san.
San? When did you start
calling me "mister"?
What's the idea
of all this
Japanese politeness
to a pal, anyway?
What's the matter with you?
Come on, Ito, give.
Joe, you are an American.
I am a Japanese.
Are you kidding?
The war's been over for years.
I still feel very bad
about everything.
Oh, I see.
You're the guy that thought up
the whole
Pearl Harbor deal, huh?
It's not funny, Joe-san, and...
and now we are ashamed
because you treat us decently.
What did you think
we were going to do?
Come in here
and roust you around?
Yes, that's what
we all did think,
Joe-san.
Look, I just came 8000 miles
to see you.
We're partners, remember?
I'm the guy that learned you
the best Brooklyn English,
while you used to teach me judo.
You haven't
forgotten that, have you?
Come on, let's see
if you can still go.
Please don't, Joe.
Oh, come on.
Please, we'll get pinched.
Japanese and
Americas can't ever
have judo s hiai n o more.
Oh, there's no MPs around here.
Now, protect yourself
before I bounce you
off the ceiling.
Why, you dirty murderer.
What you been doing
since you got your discharge,
Joe?
Believe it or not,
I got sucked into
a legitimate racket
and it ruined me.
What racket?
A Jerkwater airline.
First I fly the seat
off my pants...
And then
they repossess the pants.
No worry about that here.
We're making out okay, huh?
Terrible.
Nobody's got any real dough.
What's our angle?
Angle? We just run a restaurant.
No black market at all, eh?
Why, Joe, the black market
has been wiped out.
It's like music
hearing you lie again, Ito.
Makes me want to cry.
Nix, nix...
A headlock ain't judo.
My mistake.
Think nothing of it.
Hey, you dog,
you busted my back.
No kidding, Joe?
Yeah, but I can
still use my legs.
How do you feel now?
I feel great, Joe.
Hey...
Kanda.
Hey, wait a minute.
That's my watch.
It don't pay
to let Kanda get too close.
It sure don't.
That guy's a great artist.
It this why
you've been writing me
to come back to Japan?
Is this guy the big deal
you've been talking about?
What are we going to do,
get rich managing a pickpocket?
Do you remember Kimura Danshaku?
Used to be head
of the secret police?
The Baron Kimura.
Is he still around?
Look, Joe...
Come on upstairs.
They don't understand
a word of English...
Unless they listen.
I got your old quarters
all fixed up for you.
Even had the roof put back on.
I'll have Kanda
take your bag up, huh?
No.
No, I...
I think I'd better
stay over at the Teito Hotel.
Over my dead body.
This is your home.
Kanda...
Hey, uh, what ever became
of that rat-trap hotel
that used to be right next door?
The B-29s converted it
into a parking lot.
Well, it's lucky
they stopped when they did
or all Tokyo would have
been a parking lot.
Next time, it'll be
the whole world,
and nothing left to park.

in the States.
What did you just say?
Sure, the papers
just had it balled up.
She's right here in Tokyo.
She's fine, Joe.
I just seen her last week.
Where does she live?
What's her address?
Oh, 18 Senkomae-cho, Nakano-ku.
18 Senkomae-cho, Nakano-ku!
Yes?
Is, uh, Miss Petchnikoff in?
I'm here to see
Miss Petchnikoff, please.
Dozo.
Mr. and Mrs. Landis live here.
Uh, look, I don't care
who she's working for,
just tell Trina Petchnikoff
there's somebody here
to see her.
Will you, please?
No, very sorry,
no Miss Petchnikoff.
Not know...
I'll be right in there, pigeon.
You'd better bring her to me
before I start looking for her.
Hello, kid.
Joe!
Oh, you look good.
Just like I remembered you.
Come on.
We'll pack your stuff.
We're going home,
back to our place.
Baby, I know
I walked out on you,
but I got wise
to myself pretty fast
and it wouldn't have
been seven days
if I could have got back here,
but there was that war
in there, remember?
Please go away, Joe.
Oh, don't you think
that I don't know I lost
when I walked out on you.
I found out the hard way,
and I've been sweating it out
for seven years.
Stop it.
Kid, you don't know it,
but you hit
an awful lot
of beach-heads with me
and I was never scared enough
or bushed enough or sick enough,
or bad enough hurt
so as I could ever stop thinking
what you used to be like.
Please, Joe.
Let me tell it to you, kid.
I thought you were dead.
I mean it.
That's what they told me.
What a payoff. Like it was true,
I believed it.
Now I've got you back again.
I'm married, Joe.
What?
Where do you get off
doing a thing like that?
I was driving myself crazy
thinking you were dead.
Answer me!
What kind of a way is that
to treat a guy?
Who is this fellow?
My husband's name
is Mark Landis.
What does he do?
He's in SCAP legal section.
This is our home.
But it can't be.
You're married to me.
I divorced you, Joe.
Trina...
Listen to me.
I don't ever plan
to live without you again
and I can prove you belong to me
anytime I put my hands on you.
Yes?
Good evening, Hideko-san.
Is Mrs. Landis at home?
Is that him?
Yes.
Okay, I'd like to meet him.
Hello, dear.
Darling, Joe Barrett is here.
Oh.
Well, in that case
we either throw him out
or give him a drink.
Let's give him a drink, huh?
We usually have martinis.
Is that all right with you?
Bourbon.
Oh.
Dozo.
Hello, Mr. Barrett.
Nice to meet you.
I've heard all about
you, of course.
You have?
Well, this, uh,
calls for some sort
of a celebration,
doesn't it, or does it?
Hmm.
Before we, uh, start
being too sophisticated,
there's a few things
about Trina and me
you don't know.
Oh, I expect not.
As I understand it,
Trina was one of the
many White Russian girls
in Tokyo before the war...
fine family and
education, no money.
Then she went to work
singing at your nightclub
or gambling joint
or whatever it was you operated
while the police
turned their backs,
Then in 1941,
you two were married,
but one way or another,
that didn't
work out very well,
and a couple of weeks
before Pearl Harbor,
you left the country,
and so Trina divorced you
after the war.
Now I'm proud to sa...
I'm somewhat astonished to say
she's Mrs. Landis.
Was there something else?
Just one thing.
I'm taking her back.
Trina, if you don't mind,
I'd like to talk to Mr.
Barrett
alone.
But I have a right
to hear anything that's said.
Trina, please do as I say.
Well, Mr. Barrett,
I imagine there's at least
one thing we can agree on.
We'd both like Trina to be
as happy as possible.
I'll buy that.
You messed up her life
pretty thoroughly
while you had the chance,
now you're back
wanting to start in
all over again,
or would it be
different this time?
This time it will.
Aren't you missing the point?
Trina is happy now,
as things are, with me.
That's a lot of detail.
The most important thing
hasn't even been mentioned.
And what's that?
She belongs to me
and she knows it.
All this, uh,
divorce business...
I wasn't here when it happened.
I don't recognize it.
That's why you can't talk me out
of taking her back
where she belongs.
Then we've nothing more
to say, have we?
Trina, I'll be waiting for you.
I know you're a big shot,
Mr. Landis.
You can probably
make a lot of trouble for me
around here...
have me thrown
out of the country.
Well, perhaps you'd better
do that,
because if I have enough time...
well, you play it your way,
I'll pay it mine.
Arigato.
Darling, you're my husband,
this is my home,
and with all my heart,
it's forever.
You've got to get
rid of him, Mark.
Do something. Send him away.
Well, his visitor's permit
will be up in 60 days.
Two months. That's a long time.
He's not like you, Mark,
he's dangerous.
He...
You see, I did love him
desperately those days.
Yes, you told me all that.
I used to turn weak
whenever he touched me
or looked at me,
or even came into the room.
I'd hear him
coming up the stairs
and be at the door
waiting for him.
Of course I know now,
because you've
taught me, Mark,
that there is so much more
to love and marriage
than I ever knew before.
Still, anything
that used to be so strong...
is it ever entirely gone?
Is it safe to expose yourself
to it again?
I mean, I...
Oh, darling, don't you
understand what I mean?
Of course I do, darling,
and it's my job
to give you a hand
when you're troubled and scared.
The question is, how?
Well, I'm sorry
to be so impatient,
Baron Kimura,
but you see,
there's so little time left
before my visitor's permit
expires...
that is, unless I can get an
airline franchise for us.
Then you could stay longer.
You like
the new Japan so much,
Mr. Barrett?
Well, I've got some
personal business to do here.
I may need a little more time
than they'll give me.
All right.
Now, you, as a Japanese,
haven't got
a chance of getting
an airline franchise,
but I, as an American veteran,
might have,
so I front for you.
I operate the line
you actually control.
We carry freight.
What kind?
All such tiresome details
will be my responsibility.
I see.
So, I just, uh,
carry anything
you load on the plane,
no questions asked,
just take orders?
A Japanese does
not give orders
to an American, Mr. Barrett.
Uh-huh.
So I'll be taking orders.
I'm sorry, Mr. Barrett,
but I'm afraid
we can't get together.
Forgive me for having taken
so much of your time.
Let us hope at least
that the remainder
of your 60 days in Japan
will be enjoyable.
Wait a minute.
This is a deal
as far as I'm concerned.
Ah, so.
Then you will proceed
at your convenience.
Uh, maybe now you won't mind
letting me in on it...
I mean, the kind of freight
I'll be carrying.
For the most part...
frozen frogs...
A delicacy we export
to North and South America.
Okay, frozen frogs
we export to North
and South America.
Thank you.
So pleasant.

Captain...
Captain, remember me?
The airline permit?
I was here Monday morning.
I was here Tuesday afternoon.
I was back again
Thursday morning...
Have you completed form 67?
I have completed form 67...
67 times
at the Finance Building,
the Dai-Ichi Building,
the Mitsubishi Building,
the Forestry Building.
Mr. Barrett,
this is the Forestry Building.
Oh, yes, here it is.
Not form 12.
I spent all yesterday
on that baby.
Form 12 is obsolete,
no longer necessary.
Oh, no.
Well, they ought to have
informed you
at the Kokubu Building.
Well, everything
appears to be in order.
Well, then, is this the place
where I get the permit?
Well, yes, eventually.
Event... What?
First, your whole application
has to be reviewed for policy.
Well, how many weeks
will that take?
And of course,
it could take months
if any of this
requires checking Stateside.
Look, captain,
I haven't got months.
I've only got 52 days.
I'm trying to make a living.
I'm trying to go into business.
But, Mr. Barrett,
the occupation
has one or two problems
which may have to take
precedence.
You'll be notified,
if you're still here.
Thank you, captain.
Oh, not at all, sir.
He's been here again.
How does he expect to make money
out of a little freight airline,
under the present
economic setup in Japan?
Somebody could be trying
to deal a few off
the bottom of the deck.
Yes, sir.
If I know anything
about the army,
I'll be back in the States
about two months
before I get an answer.
Hmm, how interesting.
To bow low and to be put off
without answer or apology.
Yeah.
Well, what do we do now?
Hiro-san.
I am still in a position
to apply some small pressure
where it may help us.
These are from the files
of the Japanese secret police.
And this one...
will interest you.
It can make
an important man
help us.
Oh.
Baron...
you know, you people
are pretty clever
about forging things like this.
Ah, so.
Go ask Mrs. Landis.
Dozo.
Joe, you can't start
coming here like this.
What did you do during the war?
I was in the Oyama Prison camp.
How long were you in Oyama?
When did they let you out?
Why did they let you out, Trina?
You worked for the Japanese
during the war.
You broadcast
defeat propaganda
to our GIs in the Pacific.
I just saw the Japanese
secret police file on you.
You're a naturalized
American citizen,
married to
an American citizen
in war time.
That's treason.
Listen, Joe.
My baby was born
in Oyama prison.
When she was two weeks old,
they took her away from me.
I didn't know where she was,
whether she was sick
or starving.
For days, I was sure
she was dead.
I almost went crazy.
Then, they finally
told me she was alive,
and I could have her back if I...
All right...
I did a terrible thing.
When I was doing it, I...
I despised myself.
I've despised myself ever since.
All right, I did
what they wanted...
sure, I broadcast for them.
I said what they told me to say.
What mother wouldn't try
to save her baby's life?
Well, I see.
Well, if these are the facts,
I don't suppose
any jury would convict you.
Look, a few days ago,
I told your husband
he was a big shot.
Now I'm the big shot.
I've got all the cards.
If I go to the newspapers
with this information,
your husband's out of a job
and your marriage blows up
in your face.
"Wife of high SCAP official
tried for treason."
He'd love that,
and so would the top brass
here and in Washington.
Suppose you take a little time
and think that over.
It's not only Mark and me.
You'd be hurting a child too.
What do I care about your child?
Nani-san.
Trina...
When was this picture taken?
Four years ago,
when she was three.
Wait a minute.
When you were
in Oyama Prison camp,
the war was still on.
You hadn't even met this Landis,
you couldn't have.
That's right.
Well, I held all the cards...
What a hand I got now.
I left you alone,
an enemy alien,
in a country about to go to war,
a baby coming...
I ought to be
real proud of myself...
"What do I care about your kid?"
Well, boy, oh, boy.
Why didn't you tell me?
When you walked out on me,
I didn't know.
Who's he, Mother?
It's Mr. Barrett, darling.
Say "How do you do?" to him.
How do you do, Mr. Barrett?
Well, hello, baby.
I'm not a baby, Mr. Barrett.
Oh.
Well...
what's your first name?
Anya.
Uh, how old are you?
I'm going on seven.
Well, Anya, I...
What do you say to a kid?
If it's a girl,
you can always tell her
she's pretty.
Why wouldn't she be?
What are you looking at?
You.
That's not a very good
picture of me, Mr. Barrett.
What you smiling at?
Here's Nani-san.
Time for your nap, darling.
I want to stay and talk
some more to Mr. Barrett.
I'm going to have a birthday.
Will you come
to my birthday party?
I'll try, honey.
Anya, Nani-san in waiting.
Well, all right then.
Goodbye.
Don't forget, you're supposed
to bring a present.
Yeah, well, the thing is,
maybe I jumped into this deal
too fast.
The more I think about it,
the more I'm convinced
I'm not the front you want
for your set-up,
so I think
you ought to let
me off the hook
and no hard feelings.
Ah, so...
Of course, I can understand
how you hate to have a thing
like this treason charge and...
And never use it.
It will be used,
one way or another.
Why?
If I'm not in,
you don't get
your airline anyway...
But you are going to be in,
Mr. Barrett.
I can't get an airline
without your help,
and I must have it.
That's final, huh?
If I should die...
my files are in
responsible hands.
Well then, Joe, do I interview
Mr.
Landis tomorrow, or do you?
I'll do it.
Tell Colonel Eckles I'm sorry,
but I'll be about
10 minutes late.
Oh, hello, Barrett.
I'm sorry to have
kept you waiting.
Won't you sit down?
I, uh...
sure do appreciate
your seeing me this way,
Mr. Landis.
I... I mean, after the way
I sounded off at your house.
What can I do for you?
Uh, well, a guy's
got to make a living.
Here I...
I just lost three years
out of my life in the service,
and well,
now the war is over and...
What is it you want, money?
Oh, oh, no,
it's nothing like that, sir.
Just trying to start
a little veteran's enterprise,
but they've got me
so tied up in red tape...
It, well, it doesn't look
like I'm going to get
to first base
before my visitor's permit
expires.
Yeah, it's tough, isn't it?
Well, I... I... I mean... I...
I thought a man
in your position...
well, uh, you must... uh...
Do a lot of favors
for some of the other
big shots, and...
Yeah, I think I know somebody
who may be able to speed
things up a little bit.
Get me General Andrews, please.
Oh, I sure do
appreciate that, Mr. Landis.
You can put the hat down now.
You know, I think you do
that poor old soldier stuff
just about as badly
as I've ever seen it done.
Part doesn't really suit you.
Hello?
Yes, I'm calling
General Andrews.
Of course, I know
why you want to stay in Japan.
You think that
if I give you a little time,
you'll still be able
to take my wife away from me.
Hello, Andy.
Where have you been
keeping yourself?
Why, sure.
Sure, any time.
Tonight? Fine, fine.
Look, Andy, I'm sending
a fellow over to see you...
a friend of mine.
Uh, he's a veteran.
Wants to start
a little business,
but we've got him
all bogged down in red tape
so he can't operate.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
You guys were
with the Flying Tigers.
That's right.
Then...
two years
on the Hong Kong-Macao run.
What made you quit that outfit?
The freight superintendent
was dishonest...
Uh-huh.
If, uh...
if you guys
don't get a job with me,
what are you going to do
when your
transit visa expires?
Go back to the States?
I see.
Well, I suppose
you're both over 18.
We were over 18 when we were 15.
Okay, you're hired.
We don't speak any Japanese.
You'll carry a supercargo
who does.
Any of you guys speak English?
Yes.
You really
speak English?
Oh, yes.
All right, come on in.
Have you ever
been up in a plane?
Oh, yes.
Hmm? Where?
Imperial Japanese Air force.
I was a fighter pilot.
Hey, can you hire
a Japanese veteran?
He's off limits even being
on an airfield, isn't he?
Well, I don't get it myself,
but here's his work permit.
What's your name?
Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa.
The closest I'll ever get
to that one is, "Kamikaze."
That's close enough for me.
All right, we'll try you.
Well, I suppose you fellows
would like to take
a look at the plane.
A C-60, huh?
Yeah. I picked it up
from war surplus.
Got a good buy too.
I'll bet I know
who flew this heap first.
Yeah, who?
The Wright Brothers.
Frozen frogs.
Don't we carry anything
but frozen frogs?
Well, there was that
load of chrysanthemums
the other day.
Imagine eating them things.
Huh. I guess rich people
eat anything.
Come on, pick that stuff up.
Get it on the truck.
What's the matter with you guys?
Hayaku.
Now, wait a minute.
What do you say
these things are?
Frozen bull-frogs.
All right, get it out of here.
Do you want this
stuff to spoil?
No penicillin, no saccharine,
no pearls...
just frozen frogs like he said.
I don't like it, Joe.
Yeah, me too.
The baron has something
awful big up his sleeve.
Big enough to get us
a steady job on the rock pile
for about 20 years.
Joe...
you got to get
out of this thing
while there is still time.
I can't get off the hook now
and you know why.
We'll just have to
sweat this out.
Handle whatever it is
when it happens.
You want some more coffee?
Huh? Oh, no, thanks.
Don't you think we should be
starting back to town?
I don't get it.
All I know is
that he don't need an airline
just to fly the stuff
you've been carrying.
Not Baron Kimura. Not him.
Uh-huh.
Joe, maybe if you went to him
and said that
you had changed your mind
about living in Japan...
You want to go back
to the States and...
What do you give a kid?
I mean, what do you give a kid
for a birthday present?
A boy or a girl?
Oh, a little girl
about seven years old.
What kind of girl is she?
What kind of girl?
That's a dumb question.
She's, uh...
Well, she's just a kid I know
that's got
a birthday coming up.
Oh, never mind.
Come on, pal, let's get
out of this rat trap
and go back to town.
Trina...
Yes, Mark?
It doesn't seem to be
much of a night for sleep
at the Landises, does it?
Even poor little Anya.
She's so excited about
her party tomorrow.
I don't think
I'm going to be able
to get back from the office
n time for it, either.
Really?
What's the matter?
Oh, is he coming?
Anya asked him,
but I don't really
think he will...
He may.
So you have to stay up
all night, worrying?
You're so sweet, Mark.
Thank you.
Come on, come on. Hurry.
I want to present to Anya-san.
Anya-san tea party.
Oh, no, I'm not coming in.
I just want
to leave this for her.
Dozo.
Say, wait a minute,
take this, will you?
Mr. Barrett!
Mr. Barrett!
Where were you going,
Mr. Barrett?
That's not polite
on a person's birthday.
You have to come in
and eat some ice cream
and birthday cake,
and wish me
many happy returns
of the day, and...
Is that for me?
Well, it sure is.
And a happy birthday.
Isn't it beautiful?
What do you think's inside?
Well, I know what's inside.
Do you really? What?
Well, open the box, darling.
Hello, Joe.
Well, I just dropped in
to leave this.
The young lady surrounded me.
I hope it's what I'm sure it is.
Is it?
Well, I sure hope it is.
It is. It's what I thought.
Mother, look.
It's beautiful, dear.
Oh, thank you.
Okay.
Doesn't he want
to kiss me for it?
I'm sure he does.
Now kiss the baby.
Oh, no.
All right,
I'll call the children.
Children, everybody, come in.
Ice cream and cake.
Oh, ice cream and cake!
Will you stay and have
some ice cream and cake?
Huh?
Will you stay and have
some ice cream and cake?
Oh, yes, I'll stay
a little while.
Oh, goody!
What's the use
of kidding ourselves?
What is it, Nani-san?
Yes?
Baron Kimura asks you to come
to his house quickly, please.
I wonder how he knew I was here.
Kimura,
he's a very dangerous man.
Darling, be careful of him.
Is he the one who showed
you the file on me?
Well, don't you worry about him.
I'll take care of myself, and...
And you too.
What's the big idea
you got to go this time?
Orders from the baron.
Maybe I'll find out why
when I get there.
Don't you think
I ought to come too?
Who takes care of the nightclub?
You stay here.
Hey, Joe, what's
with the Kamikaze?
He's awful quiet.
Maybe he doesn't like the way
you guys are
flying this thing.
What cargo are we
picking up in Seoul?
A load of antique pottery.
All set.
Okay, let's shove.
Hey, Joe.
What about this?
I pay you guys
pretty good, don't I?
That was boxes.
This here's big stuff.
You could use
a few extra bucks,
couldn't you?
How much?
A couple of hundred to split.
A couple of hundred each.
Okay, a couple of hundred each.
Well, shove.
All those Japanese
look alike for my dough.
Nippon American C-60
on north runway,
cleared for Tokyo.
Can we take off?
I'll get it, darling.
Be ready soon?
I am ready now.
Yes? Oh, Colonel Dahlgren.
I haven't had the pleasure
of speaking to you
in a long time.
I beg your pardon.
I'm sorry, I don't
quite understand.
Barrett?
Yes. Yes, but...
Barrett, yes, but why?
How could anyone be such a fool?
Yes.
Yes...
Yes, I see.
Hello? Colonel Dahlgren?
I thought
we'd been disconnected.
Yes, I see.
Yes, of course.
Any information I can give...
I'll be down there
in 20 minutes.
I'm sorry, darling,
I've been called away
to the Dai-Ichi Building...
Colonel Dahlgren's office.
It seemed quite urgent...
Oh...
Maybe you'd better drop me there
and go on to the party
by yourself.
All right, Mark.

Not all day, Joe. But he phoned.
Well?
Tomorrow he wants you
to make the same run again.
That guy won't be satisfied
until he has me saying
"Good morning"
to a firing squad.
Joe, what do you say
we go downstairs?
That new kid we got singing
is packing them in
like old times.
Oh, you go.

I don't know.

Of course not.
If I can only get to that plane.
Hey, wait a minute.
What about you?
No, please,

You couldn't wait

could you, Trina?
That's right, I couldn't,

he's in this trouble.
I got in this for the dough
and no other reason.
Your fault?
During the war, I...
Trina!
I think you'd better tell me
what this is all about.
I broadcast for the Japanese.
Kimura knows it.
He was going
to blackmail us both.
Joe got into this to stop him.
They forced her to broadcast.
They took away her kid.
And you thought
I wouldn't stand by you
in that kind of trouble?
I knew you would,
no matter how
much it hurt you.
That's why
I was afraid to tell you.
That was very sweet of you,

I hope General Ireton
is in his office still.

What do you gain

Outside of Kimura and me,
nobody knows.
I know now.
Look, Joe, believe me,
I'm thinking

Anya too.
And I'm a pretty good lawyer.
All right, sergeant.
All right, Colonel Dahlgren.
Ready, sir.
Here, Mr. Barrett..
We have a record
of your activities
since you arrived
several weeks ago.
These activities
are of interest to us.
Especially the fact
that you've been fronting for
a Japanese
criminal enterprise.
No doubt, you're familiar
with the penalties prescribed
under the articles of war
for entering into a conspiracy
against the United States,
and, incidentally,
against the people of Japan.
The man you flew
in this morning
was nobody important.
The whole trip
was just a trial run.
On your next flight to Korea,
scheduled for tomorrow,
by the way,
you are to bring back
three who are important.
Lieutenant General Takenobu,
known to his admirers
as "The Butcher."
His Chief of Staff,
Colonel Hara.
And the almost legendary,
present emeritus of
the Black Dragon Society,
Naojiro Goru.
When three such outstanding
fugitive war criminals
risk a return to Japan,
the outlines
of Kimura's conspiracy
become fairly clear...
To revive the Black Dragon
underground movement,
build up hatred and fanaticism
among disgruntled
Japanese veterans...
And we've had to give
some of those
men a rough time,
and Takenobu was the one general
who avoided actual defeat
in the field...
The one man
who could
really organize them.
At worst,
it could mean we'd be faced
with a bloody uprising
that the vast majority
of the Japanese people
knows to be against
its own best interest
and you're up to your neck
in this communist-inspired,
communist-directed plan,
Mr. Barrett.
Do you deny it?
No.
Why waste
the big speech now, colonel?
Why don't you save it
for my trial?
A very intelligent question.
Any other questions?
Yes, sir.
When I pick up these babies,
where do you want them
delivered?
Haneda will do.
Uh, gentlemen...
Yes, Mr. Barrett?
What happens
if I take off tonight
and don't come back?
We have confidence in you
for two very good reasons...
Your war record,
and your real motive
for getting into
this mess originally.
We happen to know that
you've been trying
to shield a certain...
One moment, please.
All I know of this case
is in that folder.
Beyond that, I'm not
obliged to take action
on anything
that isn't brought
to my attention officially.
All right, sir.
We have confidence in you
because of your war record,
Mr. Barrett.
Anything else
you'd like to know?
Well, yes, sir.
All this...
hot information about my...
conspiracy...
where'd you get that?
From a man who called himself
Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa.
Why, that's Kamikaze.
One of my smartest agents.
Your Kamikaze was a count
in private life...
one of the really big pedigrees.
And he fought us all out
during the war.
Here it is.
I like to look at it sometimes
when I get discouraged
with the job here.
Turn it off, Jack.
Well, Barrett, does that
clear up all the questions?
Well, just one more thing, sir.
When I deliver
your three bad boys,
what do I get,
a radio in my cell
at Leavenworth?
You deliver them
and you'll get television.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, shove.
Cleared for take off.
Bon voyage.
Hold it! Hold it.
Now, what's the idea
of showing up around here?
It's too risky.
If my partner can risk going
to the Dai-Ichi Building
for a chat with the general...
They were just making
a routine check
on our operation.
Ah, so.
If everything goes
as well as yesterday,
word ought to reach me
at the place
where I'll be waiting,
not later than 1:00
tomorrow morning.
If you've got
any ideas about me,
why don't you just
call this flight off?
Now...
too late.
By the way, wasn't it horrible
about the Landis child?
What?
The child
and her little nurse...
What's her name? Nani-san...
Went for a walk...
They simply went
for their afternoon walk
and haven't returned yet.
But I feel certain
she will return,
say, by 1:00 tomorrow morning.
Where do you want
those men delivered?
You will be instructed
during your return flight.
How do I know I can trust you?
But we are partners, Joe...
we have to trust each other.
Nip-Am 77 calling X-3 Star.
Come in, X-3 Star.
Dahlgren,
this is Barrett talking.
Is it true about the Landis kid?
Yes, she's missing. Over.
Well, put a tail on Kimura.
We're six weeks
ahead of you. Over.
Yeah, but don't pick him up,
don't be cute,
don't crowd him.
We want that kid back.
That's what we want.
Exactly what's
your information,
Barrett? Over.
Kimura
will be waiting some place
about 1:00 in the morning
to meet the guys
we're bringing in.
A good guess that's where
they'll have the kid,
but if you try to make
any arrests
before you get her back,
you know what they'll do to her.
Don't worry, Barrett.
Proceed with your mission.
Over.
You sure better
have that kid safe
before we got back from Korea.
I think you'd better have
some coffee, Mrs. Landis.
General Ireton, I'm sorry,
but I keep thinking
how frightened she must be.
Dahlgren...
Oh, well, keep on it, major.
Of course,
our men have
hours to work yet.
Barrett won't even be
starting back from Korea
until after dark.
Starting to pick up
their signal.
Yeah, they're calling us.
Nip-Am 77 to X-3 Star.
Get back there and keep
an eye those guys.
Go ahead, X-3 Star.
Go ahead, X-3 Star.
Barrett talking.
Yeah, sure, I have them.
All three of them.
Have you got the kid?
Proceed to Haneda as ordered.
Proceed to Haneda as ordered.
Do you hear me, Nip-Am? Over.
Have you got the kid?
Confirm order to proceed
to Haneda. Over.
Have you got the kid?
This is Ireton...
You're operating
under military law, Barrett.
Proceed directly to Haneda.
That's an order.
We'll set down at Hayashi,
like the three
little pigs told us.
Look Joe, I'm sorry
about the kid,
but I'm not bucking SCAP.
All right, I'll take it in.
I'm still pilot...
And I'm responsible
if we don't set
down at Haneda.
Put it on automatic pilot.
You, get up.
All right, out here.
Well, I guess that settles
our little argument.
Can you fly this thing?
Better than you.
Where you going to
set us down? Hayashi?
Okuma...
Okuma...
Where's that?
A little bombed-out
air strip west of Yokohama.
Surface on it like a waffle.
How come you had
that little strip covered?
We had every strip
in Honshu covered.
Captain, you people know
exactly where Kimura is,
don't you?
We know
where he's not...
at his house.
The guy that drove the truck.
What about him?
Well, he knows where
he was supposed to take
those people.
It might be
where Kimura's got
the little girl.
You'd better let me talk to him.
We've only got until 1:00.
You'll do your talking
to Colonel Dahlgren.
I don't know, colonel.
These goofy Orientals stop me.
All right, buster,
now it's your turn.
Where's Baron Kimura?
Come on, you know
where Kimura is.
You know where
he's holding that child.
Why don't you tell us?
Where's Kimura?
Where's Kimura?
Okay, peach blossom.
Where's Kimura?
All right, inside.
That's all.
Get up.
Why, Mr. Barrett,
you must have
bumped into something.
Here, mop it up.
Oh, excuse me.
Is he dead?
Yeah.
It was working too.
He'd have taken you there.
Now we're worse off than before.
Yeah, he kept talking about
some cellar.
There's a million
cellars in the city.
And a man named Kanda.
And about
a quarter of a million
Kandas.
All right, let's bring
everything out to the open.
Japanese police,
house-to-house search,
everything.
Hey, wait a minute.
I got a hunch I know the Kanda
he was talking about.
Please.
Interrupt all radio programs,
broadcast a continuous appeal
to the people of Tokyo.
Colonel, the minute
you go on the air,
they'll kill that kid for sure.
What's your alternative,
Mr. Barrett?
It'll be 1:00 in 55 minutes.
If we haven't taken
some action
before this thing happens...
Yeah, nobody
can argue with that.
Sure, the kid will be dead,
and your official neck
won't be out one inch.
Exactly what are you suggesting?
♪ ...Then you did that to me
♪ I knew somehow...
♪ ...Oh, how the ghost
Of you clings
♪ These foolish things
Remind me of you ♪
Where's Kanda?
Come on, I got to locate him.
It don't do you any good, Joe.
They'll just kill her
if you try to find her.
They'll kill her
if I don't find her.
Oh, my friend,
why did you have to do it?
I brought this whole thing
on you, Joe.
Already did enough harm.
They'll knock you off too.
You're still covering up
for Kimura, huh?
Don't you understand
what guys like that
have done to you?
For a thousand years,
they've made suckers out of you,
and all they wanted
was the gravy,
and guys like you down
on your hands and knees
to hand it up to them.
You think we're the real enemies
because we're occupying Japan.
Well, do you know
why we're doing it?
To help the Japanese people
stand up on their hind legs
like men and women have
a right to in this world.
And you still don't get it?
Some of us get it now, baby...
Then where is she? Where is she?
Basement next door, Joe...
Old hotel the B-29s burned.
The entrance is under the sheds.
Sayonara, pal.
That's the entrance
over there
under that shed.
Now, you got the set-up.
I go in alone, and if I
don't come out by 1:00,
you come in fast.
I got it. How are you
with one of these things?
Just fair...
Don't do any wild shooting
if it's dark in there.
You could hit
the wrong person.
Okay.
I'm so glad to see you,
Mr. Barrett. I'm so glad.
Now, it's all right, honey.
Now, come on...
I'll take you home
to your mother.
You'll be all right, baby.
Don't cry, baby,
it'll be all right.
I want my mommy!
Easy now.
Mama! Mama!
Mama! Mama! Mama!
You all in one piece, pal?
Yeah, I guess so.
Get the general.
Anya! Mama!
We're much obliged...
Very much obliged,
Colonel Barrett.
Darling...
Darling, are you all right?
Darling...
Stretcher, on the double.
How is he, major?
Very bad, sir,
but we'll try
to pull him through.
Joe...
Trina...
Anya's okay?
Yes.
Trina, you are coming back
to me, aren't you?
I am back, Joe.
Well, don't cry about it.
The best is yet to come...
Wait and see.
I've got a lot of things
to tell you...
things that I always
meant to say and never did.
There's a lot of things
a guy intends to do,
and somehow I...
I don't know,
he gets messed up, and...
But I won't anymore.
I'll... I'll be fine
for you this time,
and the kid too.
What are you looking at, baby?
You.
See you a little later, kid.
Sure, Joe...
See you a little later.
