Jack:
OVER 68 MILLION AMERICANS

LEAVE THE SAFETY
OF OUR BORDERS EVERY YEAR.

IF DANGER STRIKES,

THE FBI's
INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TEAM

IS CALLED INTO ACTION.

BUSINESS.
IT'S ABOUT FUN.

I KNOW.
IT'S ABOUT, YOU KNOW...

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET'S DO THIS.

LET'S JUST -- LET'S GO.
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

WE'RE NOT AT
SOME STRIP MALL BACK HOME.



WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

WE'RE AT THE EPICENTER
OF SUSHI.

TAKE IT ALL IN.

STOP, SAVOR THE MOMENT.

I GOT IT.

SO WHAT'S
ON THE MENU, O WISE ONE?

THIS IS OYSTER
ON THE HALF SHELL...

MM-HMM.
QUAIL EGG YOLK...

SMELT ROE,
CHOPPED GREEN ONION,

AND A DASH OF MIRIN.
OH!

IT LOOKS SO PRETTY,
I ALMOST DON'T WANT TO EAT IT.

I DID SAY "ALMOST."

GOOD.
CHEERS?

CHEERS.
DOWN THE HATCH.



MM!
MM!

THAT IS THE FRESHEST OYSTER
I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

TRULY AMAZING.
NO DOUBT.

AND THAT IS WHY
YOU DESERVE A TOAST.

[ CHUCKLES ]

TO MY BIG BROTHER,
MY BEST FRIEND,

AND MY BUSINESS PARTNER.

FUTURE'S SO BRIGHT,
IT HURTS MY EYES.

HA!

[ WOMEN SPEAKING JAPANESE ]

WHOA.
YEAH.

NO.
YOU SURE?

[ Laughing ] NO, NO.

THAT JUST MEANS MORE
FOR ME, BRO.

ALL RIGHT.
GET OUT OF HERE.

I'M GOING.

WE HAVE STUFF TO DO TOMORROW,
SO NOT TOO LATE.

OKAY, MOM.

HAVE FUN.

[ MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING ]

COME ON, CLARA.

DON'T STAND ME UP AGAIN.

[ CELL PHONE DINGS ]

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES MAE
A DULL, DULL GIRL.

WOW.
WHAT'S THE SPECIAL OCCASION?

WHAT, A GIRL CAN'T JUST PUT
A PRETTY ON?

[ CHUCKLES ]

HMM.

DON'T BE MAD.
I'M NOT MAD.

I'M CONCERNED.

YOU NEED TO HAVE A LIFE
OUTSIDE OF WORK.

IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S EASIER
IF YOU TRY.

WE HAVE A LONG FLIGHT
AHEAD OF US, SO...

HERE'S SOME
READING MATERIAL.

OH, DOSSIERS,
MY FAVORITE.

THANKS.

MONTY,
LET'S DOWNLOAD EVERYONE.

KONNICHIWA.

AMERICAN ENTREPRENEUR
DAMIAN HALL

WAS FOUND DEAD IN TOKYO

AFTER A NIGHT OF FINE DINING
WITH HIS BROTHER KRISTOPHER.

NOW, THE TWO WERE VISITING
TOKYO

FOR SOME BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES,

AND LOCAL POLICE RULED IT
A SUICIDE BY HANGING.

THE JAPANESE CALL
THAT KUBITSURI.

WHY ARE WE TRAVELING ALL THE WAY
ACROSS THE WORLD FOR A SUICIDE?

IT'S THE THIRD
AMERICAN DEATH BY SUICIDE

IN TOKYO WITHIN A WEEK.

THE U.S. CONSULATE
ASKED US TO TAKE A LOOK.

THE FIRST VIC,
DEE BROWN,

WAS ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED
WHEN SHE WAS FOUND DEAD

IN A JAPANESE SCHOOL
WHERE SHE TAUGHT ENGLISH.

HER KNEES
ARE TIED TOGETHER.

THAT'S JIGAI, A HISTORIC FORM
OF FEMALE RITUAL SUICIDE MEANT

TO PRESERVE
A WOMAN'S DIGNITY AFTER DEATH.

SECOND VIC,
BOBBY FREEMAN, 32,

MALE, A TRAVEL BLOGGER

WHO THREW HIMSELF IN FRONT
OF A BULLET TRAIN.

TOBIKOMI.

WHO KNEW THERE WERE
SO MANY WORDS FOR SUICIDE?

WELL, THE PRACTICE
OF SUICIDE

HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART
OF THE JAPANESE CULTURE,

FROM THE DAYS OF THE SAMURAI

TO THE KAMIKAZE PILOTS
IN WORLD WAR II.

TO THE JAPANESE, SUICIDE
IS CONSIDERED HONORABLE.

WHICH EXPLAINS
WHY SIX JAPANESE CITIZENS

COMMIT SUICIDE IN TOKYO
PER DAY.

AND WHAT
ABOUT AMERICANS IN TOKYO?

ON AVERAGE, THERE'S ONLY
ABOUT FIVE AMERICAN SUICIDES

PER YEAR IN ALL OF JAPAN.

SO WITH THREE SUICIDES
IN THE PAST WEEK,

THAT'S JUST
OVER 33 TIMES THE NORM.

AND WHY WE'RE GOING.

DAMIAN HALL'S BODY WAS FOUND
IN A PLACE CALLED AOKIGAHARA.

YOU'RE HEARD OF IT, CLARA.

AOKIGAHARA IS A PARK
AT THE BASE OF MOUNT FUJI.

ITS NAME
MEANS "SEA OF TREES,"

BUT IT HAS ANOTHER MORE
NEFARIOUS NAME --

SUICIDE FOREST.

OKAY, WELL,
THAT'S NOT CREEPY AT ALL.

AOKIGAHARA IS
THE MOST POPULAR DESTINATION

FOR SUICIDES IN ALL OF JAPAN,

AVERAGING MORE
THAN ONE SUICIDE PER WEEK.

THAT PARK'S IN TOKYO?

NEGATIVE, ABOUT TWO HOURS EAST.

DID DAMIAN RENT A CAR,
TAKE A CAB, TRAIN, ANYTHING?

THERE'S BEN NO CREDIT CARD
OR ATM ACTIVITY

EVER SINCE HE LEFT DINNER
WITH HIS BROTHER.

SO HOW DID HE END UP THERE?

THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT.

MONTY, CHECK
THE VICTIMS' BACKGROUND,

SEE IF THERE'S
ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN THEM.

YOU GOT IT.

SINCE THESE WERE
ALL SEEMINGLY SUICIDES,

THE JAPANESE CONSIDER
THEM OPEN-AND-CLOSED CASES.

BUT IF THIS IS FOUL PLAY,

WHOEVER'S DOING IT IS SHOWING
NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN.

♪♪

[ MAN GRUNTS ]

♪♪

Jack: A JAPANESE PROVERB
TELLS US

"THE NAIL THAT STICKS
OUT GETS HAMMERED DOWN."

♪♪

OUR CONTACTS AT THE TOKYO
METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT

ARE ON THEIR WAY HERE
TO GREET US.

OH, THAT'S NICE OF THEM.

WELL, THEY'RE OFFENDED
WE'RE HERE.

OH. OKAY, SO NOT
SO NICE OF THEM.

WELL, OUR VERY PRESENCE
HERE MEANS

THAT WE'RE QUESTIONING
THEIR INVESTIGATION,

WHICH THE JAPANESE
SEE AS DISRESPECTFUL.

JACK, THE AMBASSADOR HAS GOT
THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT

TO GRANT YOU SPECIAL PERMISSION
TO CARRY A FIREARM.

AND THE REST OF US?
THAT'S A NEGATIVE.

JACK IS THE RARE EXCEPTION

BECAUSE OF HIS INTERNATIONAL
REPUTATION AND RANK.

NOW, THIS IS CONSIDERED
A HIGH HONOR

BECAUSE GUNS HAVE BEEN
OUTLAWED IN JAPAN SINCE 1971.

GOT YOUR BUSINESS
CARDS READY, JACK?

WHAT, THE BADGE, JET,

AND WEAPON CLEARANCE
ISN'T ENOUGH?

IN JAPAN,
BUSINESS CARDS

STILL PLAY A HUGE ROLE
IN PROFESSIONAL INTERACTIONS.

YEAH, IT'S CONSIDERED RUDE
TO NOT PROVIDE A BUSINESS CARD

TO A NEW ACQUAINTANCE.

WE NEED TO BUILD A BRIDGE
BETWEEN LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

SO WE CAN HAVE THEIR BLESSINGS

TO TAKE A LOOK
AT THESE SUPPOSED SUICIDES.

SO WE'RE SAYING HI TO MOM
AND DAD

BEFORE WE TAKE THEIR DAUGHTER
OUT ON A DATE.

EXCEPT DAD DOESN'T HAVE
A BASEBALL BAT,

HE HAS A WHOLE POLICE FORCE
BEHIND HIM.

SO EVERYONE WILL
FOLLOW MY LEAD.

HAJIMEMASHITE.

HAJIMEMASHITE.

FBI, NO JACK GARRETT DESU.

[ CONVERSING IN JAPANESE ]

THAT WAS INTENSE.

SILENCE IN JAPAN
SHOWS CREDIBILITY.

JACK'S USING HIS CALM
TO CONVEY AUTHORITY.

JACK ROCKS.

CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT
KAZUMI FUKUI.

AGENT JACK GARRETT.

YOUR DEPARTMENT'S
STELLAR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU.

Kazumi: WHAT CAN WE ASSIST
THE FBI WITH?

WE BELIEVE YOUR FINDINGS

ON THE RECENT
AMERICAN SUICIDES

HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED
WITH PROPER CARE,

BUT WE HAVE
AMERICAN FAMILIES BACK

HOME WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES,
AND THEY NEED CLOSURE.

SO, WITH YOUR PERMISSION,

WE'D LIKE TO TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT THESE CASES.

[ SPEAKS JAPANESE ]

[ SPEAKS JAPANESE ]

I'M OFFICER RYO MIRANTE.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT
THESE SUICIDES ARE ANYTHING BUT?

ONE OF OUR AGENTS SPOKE
TO THE FAMILIES OF THE DECEASED,

AND ALL OF THE VICTIMS SEEM TO
HAVE HAD EVERYTHING TO LIVE FOR.

DEE BROWN WAS
TO BE MARRIED.

BOBBY FREEMAN'S BLOG POSTS
WERE BEING PICKED UP

BY MAJOR SITES
AROUND THE WORLD.

AND DAMIAN HALL
WAS YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL,

ABOUT TO CLOSE ON A HOUSE.

AND NONE OF THEM HAD A HISTORY
OF MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.

EVEN THEIR LATEST
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

WERE VERY POSITIVE, NO SIGN
OF WHAT WAS TO COME.

IT'S BEEN OUR EXPERIENCE

WHEN SOMEONE
HAD COMMITTED THEMSELVES

TO THE WHISPERING DEATH,

THEY SHOW AN UPTICK
IN HAPPY BEHAVIOR.

THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE FINALLY
FOUND A DIRECTION.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS DEATH,
IT IS COMFORTING TO THEM.

YOUR CONTINUED EXPERTISE
IN THIS AREA IS WELCOME,

BUT THREE AMERICAN SUICIDES

IN A WEEK
DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK.

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BEGIN,
AGENT GARRETT?

HAVE YOU SPOKEN
TO DAMIAN'S BROTHER, KRISTOPHER?

YES, WE TOOK
HIS STATEMENT.

KRISTOPHER SAID HE HAD

A BUSINESS MEETING
THE NEXT MORNING,

SO HE LEFT THE RESTAURANT
TO GET SOME SLEEP

WHILE HIS BROTHER
STAYED BEHIND, DRINKING.

HOTEL SECRETARY
CONFIRMS THAT KRISTOPHER

RETURNED TO HIS ROOM
AT THE TIME THAT HE STATED.

WHAT DID
THE RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES SAY?

DAMIAN'S DEATH
WAS RULED SUICIDE.

TAKING STATEMENTS

FROM ANY OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEES
WAS UNNECESSARY.

BUT KRISTOPHER
IS AT HIS HOTEL,

IF YOU WOULD LIKE
TO SPEAK TO HIM.

WE MAY WANT TO CIRCLE BACK
WITH HIM LATER,

DEPENDING ON OUR FINDINGS.

OF COURSE.
CAN YOU ESCORT AGENT SIMMONS

TO WHERE DAMIAN'S
BODY WAS FOUND?

COPY THAT.

AND AGENT JARVIS WILL NEED
TO GO TO THE MORGUE

TO EXAMINE HIS BODY.

I WILL ACCOMPANY
HER MYSELF.

CLARA AND I WILL GO
TO THE RESTAURANT

WHERE DAMIAN WAS LAST SEEN

AND QUESTION
SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES.

WORLD FAMOUS
TSUKIJI MARKET.

I'VE BEEN TO TOKYO
MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT,

AND I'VE NEVER BEEN
DOWN HERE.

WELL, IT'S BEEN AROUND
SINCE 1923.

THIS MARKET
HANDLES MORE FISH PER DAY

THAN ANY OTHER MARKET
IN THE WORLD.

EXPLAINS THE SMELL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU KNOW, I KNOW THEY WEAR THEM
FOR HEALTH PURPOSES,

BUT IT'S STILL HARD
TO GET USED TO.

MM-HMM.

THERE'S SOMETHING
ON YOUR MIND.

SORRY.

I -- I SHOULD BE MORE FOCUSED
ON THE CASE.

YEAH, WHEN WE'RE WORKING.

RIGHT NOW,
ALL WE'RE DOING IS WALKING.

UM...

I GUESS, I, UH --
I FEEL LIKE I'M HAVING

A HARD TIME RECONNECTING
SINCE WE GOT HOME.

WHY?

I GUESS D.C.
HAS CHANGED FOR ME.

NOW IT'S...

IT'S LESS OF A PLACE
AND MORE OF A TIME.

A TIME
WHEN I WAS MARRIED.

WELL, I GET THAT.

MY KIDS ARE GROWING UP,
LEAVING THE HOUSE,

AND, SUDDENLY, HOME
FEELS A LOT DIFFERENT.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO?

I GUESS WE'LL KNOW
WHEN WE'RE READY.

HERE WE ARE.

LET'S GO SEE WHAT
THEY KNOW ABOUT DAMIAN.

BECAUSE OF
BUREAUCRATIC DELAYS

IN TRANSPORTING THE BODIES
BACK TO THE U.S.,

ALL THREE VICTIMS
ARE STILL HERE.

OH, WELL, SEEMS TO BE
MY LUCKY DAY.

HOW IS THIS LUCKY?

IT'S JUST A SAYING.

SEE, I'M LUCKY BECAUSE
ALL THREE OF THE BODIES ARE...

I'M JUST GONNA GET TO WORK.

ALL RIGHT,
ANTEMORTEM CONTUSIONS

AROUND THE NECK,

ALONG WITH THE HYOID BONE
BEING SNAPPED, ALL POINT

TOWARDS ASPHYXIA.

♪♪

YOU SEE SOMETHING?

YEP.

DO YOU SEE HOW,
AT THE TIME OF DEATH,

THESE BRUISES
WEREN'T THERE,

NOW THEY ARE?

BUT HOW?

THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS...

THEY WENT IN,
BUT THEY DIDN'T COME OUT.

YEAH.

♪♪

"LET'S THINK ONCE MORE
ABOUT THE LIFE YOU ARE GIVEN.

YOUR PARENTS,
YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

AND CHILDREN
DON'T SUFFER ALONE.

FIRST,
PLEASE CONTACT SOMEBODY."

MANY OF THE ELDERS
BELIEVE SUICIDE IS RESPECTABLE

AND ACCEPTABLE.

BUT MY GENERATION
DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME WAY.

WE ARE WARY
OF THIS NICHE TOURISM.

WE DON'T WANT OUR COUNTRY
TO BE KNOWN

AS THE SUICIDE CAPITAL
OF THE WORLD.

SOME SAY THE FOREST
IS HAUNTED BY THE VICTIMS

OF UBASUTE.

IT'S AN OLD JAPANESE CUSTOM

OF LEADING ELDERLY WOMEN
TO A FOREST

AND LEAVING THEM TO DIE
OF STARVATION OR THE ELEMENTS,

THUS BECOMING VENGEFUL GHOSTS
WHO PROWL THE FOREST.

THIS IS WHERE
WE FOUND DAMIAN.

[ SIGHS ]

♪♪

YOU HAVE SOMETHING?
YEAH, WOOD SHAVINGS.

I THINK
THIS ROPE'S BEEN MOVED.

SOMEBODY INSTALLED THIS

AND HAD IT FOCUSED
ON THE CRIME SCENE.

IT HAS A TRANSMITTER.

THIS IS A NETWORK CAMERA
WITH NO STORAGE CAPABILITIES.

WHOEVER DID THIS WAS
STREAMING THE FOOTAGE

FOR VIEWING
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO THE QUESTION IS...

WHO'S WATCHING?

WELL, THE KITCHEN STAFF
WAS NO HELP.

WHAT ABOUT THE SERVERS?

THEY SAID DAMIAN LEFT
FIRST, NOT KRISTOPHER,

WHICH CONTRADICTS
THE STATEMENT.

WHY WOULD KRISTOPHER LIE ABOUT
WHO LEFT THE RESTAURANT FIRST?

MAYBE HE'S
HIDING SOMETHING.

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

SIMMONS AND MAE.
YEAH, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

ON THE TREE
WHERE DAMIAN WAS FOUND,

I NOTICED SOME MARKS,
AND UNDERNEATH IT,

SOME WOOD SHAVINGS,

WHICH SUGGEST
THE ROPE WASN'T JUST SWINGING,

THAT IT WAS BEING PULLED.

POOR MAN'S PULLEY SYSTEM.

IF SOMEONE ELSE
WAS INVOLVED,

IT MIGHT EXPLAIN HOW DAMIAN
GOT ALL THE WAY OUT THERE.

WE ALSO FOUND A CAMERA.

WE BELIEVE SOMEONE
MAY HAVE BEEN FILMING ALL THIS.

ALREADY HAVE MONTY
TRACKING THE CAMERA

THROUGH THE SERIAL NUMBER.

LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE
YOU FIND.

MAE?

I FOUND PERIMORTEM BRUISING
ON THE OTHER VICTIMS,

WHICH IS CALLED
SUBCUTANEOUS HYPOSTASIS

OR POSTMORTEM STAINING.

WHICH TELLS US THE VIC
WAS PHYSICALLY MANIPULATED

OR IN SOME KIND OF CONFRONTATION
AT THE TIME OF DEATH.

BINGO.

Monty: SORRY TO CRASH
YOUR PARTY LINE, JACK,

BUT TOKYO POLICE HAVE DISCOVERED

ANOTHER SUICIDE
IN YOUR VICINITY.

AMERICAN?
THEY DIDN'T SAY.

SEPPUKU, BETTER KNOWN
AS HARAKIRI.

IT'S WHEN THE VICTIM
SHOVES A KNIFE

INTO THEIR OWN STOMACH,
DISEMBOWELING HIMSELF.

THIS CASE HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOUR CASE.

THIS VICTIM
IS JAPANESE, NOT AMERICAN.

WE HAVE TWO
SUICIDE VICTIMS

FROM THE SAME AREA
WITHIN 24 HOURS.

THAT CANNOT BE
A COINCIDENCE.

IT'S NOT.

LOOK AT THIS WATCH.

IT'S ON HIS RIGHT WRIST.

WHICH MEANS
HE'S LEFT-HANDED.

AND LOOK AT WHERE THE HILT
OF THE BLADE IS.

IT'S IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

SOMEONE STAGED THIS BODY.

AND HE FROZE THIS WAY.

HE DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF.

HE WAS MURDERED.

JACK.

♪♪

[ HEAVY METAL PLAYING ]

[ LAUGHING MANIACALLY ]

WHAT DO WE KNOW?

DAMIAN'S BODY
WAS INDEED STAGED AND RECORDED.

AS WELL
AS THE SUSHI CHEF'S.

ALL PREVIOUS VICTIMS
SHOW POSTMORTEM BRUISING,

WHICH PROVES THAT
THEY WERE PHYSICALLY ATTACKED

JUST BEFORE THEIR DEATHS.

SO SOMEONE IS USING SUICIDE
AS A COVER FOR MURDER.

BUT WHY?

PERHAPS SUICIDE
LEFT A SIGNIFICANT IMPRINT

ON OUR UNSUB
AT AN IMPRESSIONABLE AGE.

BUT UNLIKE THE AMERICAN VICTIMS,
THE SUSHI CHEF IS JAPANESE.

SO WHAT'S THE PATTERN?
IT'S NOT CLEAR YET,

BUT NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT
THIS IS A MURDER INVESTIGATION,

I WANT TO TALK
TO DAMIAN'S BROTHER ASAP.

I'M SORRY TO SAY,
BUT THE CONCLUSION

TO YOUR INVESTIGATION
WAS INCORRECT.

♪♪

WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT THE
AMERICANS MAY BE RIGHT.

WE HAVE A REPUTATION.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, CHIEF
SUPERINTENDENT FUKUI,

WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO FIND
JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS

IF THIS IS, INDEED, MURDER.

PERHAPS WE SHOULD LOOK
DEEPER INTO THIS.

GOOD.

THEN WE'RE READY TO DELIVER
OUR INITIAL PROFILE.

THREE OF THE FOUR VICS
WERE FOUND IN A LOCAL SCHOOL,

SUSHI RESTAURANT, AND SUBWAY.

Clara: WHICH TELLS US OUR UNSUB
IS FAMILIAR WITH THE REGION.

A TOKYO RESIDENT.
YEAH, STATISTICALLY SPEAKING,

HE IS PROBABLY
OF JAPANESE DESCENT.

Simmons: BASED ON HIS
ABILITY TO REPOSITION

AND OVERPOWER HIS VICTIMS,
HE'S MOST LIKELY A MALE,

SIX FOOT TALL,
140 TO 160 POUNDS.

BUT THE AVERAGE JAPANESE MALE
IS ONLY ABOUT 5'7".

SO HE'S A BIG MAN
ON CAMPUS.

THAT MIGHT BE PART
OF THE PROBLEM.

IN JAPAN,
YOU DON'T WANT TO STAND OUT,

OR YOU CAN BE OSTRACIZED.

BASED ON THE AGES
OF OUR VICS,

WE BELIEVE HE'S
BETWEEN 25 AND 35.

AND HE'S ALSO STREAMING
HIS KILLS REMOTELY,

WHICH MEANS
HE'S TECHNICALLY SOPHISTICATED.

THEN WHY FILM IT?
TO ADMIRE HIS WORK.

YEAH, HIS PROPENSITY
TOWARDS VOYEURISM

AND THE NATURE OF THESE
BLITZ ATTACKS TELLS US

THAT HE PROBABLY IS INCAPABLE
OF NORMAL SOCIAL INTERACTION,

AND HE MAY BE UNEMPLOYED.

WHAT OF THE SUICIDES?
WHY FAKE THEM?

WELL, IT'S EITHER
A FORENSIC COUNTERMEASURE,

WHICH HAS BEEN WORKING,
OR IT'S A RITUAL.

THE STAGING OF THE BODIES
MUST MEAN SOMETHING.

THE UNSUB COULD BE SEEKING
TO PURIFY HIS VICTIMS

BY GIVING THEM HONORABLE DEATHS.

THERE'S NO SHAME IN THE ACT
OF SUICIDE IN JAPAN.

BUT THERE IS SHAME
IN THE ACT OF MURDER.

[ PHONE RINGS ]

MONTY, ANYTHING
ON THE CELL PHONE

AND CAMERA WE FOUND?

THEY WERE BOTH BOUGHT AT A KURU
TECH VENDING MACHINE WITH CASH.

ANY COMMON THREAD
BETWEEN OUR VICS?

SORRY, JACK,
RIGHT NOW, I'M STRIKING OUT.

BUT I'LL KEEP SWINGING.
GOOD.

SIMMONS, MAE, GO GRAB
DAMIAN'S BROTHER, KRISTOPHER.

I WANT TO HAVE
A LITTLE CHAT WITH HIM.

CLARA AND I WILL HEAD
TO THE POLICE STATION,

INTERVIEW THE SUSHI CHEF'S WIFE,

SEE WHAT HER HUSBAND'S STORY IS.

MRS. NAKANO, I'M JACK GARRETT
WITH THE FBI.

THIS IS AGENT CLARA SEGER.

MIND IF WE SIT DOWN?

MRS. NAKANO, WAS YOUR HUSBAND
A SUSHI CHEF HIS WHOLE LIFE?

YES.

HE TOOK GREAT PRIDE
IN HIS WORK.

BUT IT CAME WITH A PRICE.

HE HAD LITTLE TIME
TO BE FATHER AND HUSBAND.

SORRY...

WHY DID YOUR HUSBAND
LEAVE DAICHAN'S AFTER 30 YEARS?

HE REALIZED DAICHAN
WAS NEVER GOING TO RETIRE,

AND IF HE DID,
HE WOULD MOST LIKELY

LEAVE THE BUSINESS
TO HIS SON.

DID THIS CAUSE
ANY BAD BLOOD

BETWEEN YOUR HUSBAND
AND HIS EMPLOYER?

HE NEVER SPOKE
OF SUCH THINGS TO ME.

ONCE HE LEFT DAICHAN,
HE CUT ALL TIES WITH HIM.

DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE
WHO WOULD HAVE WANTED

TO HURT YOUR HUSBAND?

I'M NOT SURE.

MY HUSBAND
CARRIED A GREAT SHAME.

IT FOLLOWED HIM
ALL HIS LIFE,

BUT MAYBE IT FINALLY
CAUGHT UP WITH HIM.

WHATEVER IT IS,
YOU CAN TELL US.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO,
IT CAN HELP OTHERS.

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT IS IT?

HIS GREAT SHAME
WAS THAT HE WAS DIFFERENT.

THIS FEELS LIKE
A DEAD END, JACK.

WELL, MAYBE NOT.

MRS. NAKANO DIDN'T KNOW
IF THERE WAS ANY BAD BLOOD

BETWEEN HER HUSBAND
AND DAICHAN,

SO LET'S GO RIGHT
TO THE SOURCE.

[ PHONE RINGS ]
WHAT'S UP, JACK?

MONTY, I NEED YOU TO LOOK

INTO CHEF DAICHAN'S
SUSHI RESTAURANT.

I NEED TO TALK TO THE OWNER.

THE RESTAURANT
CLOSED A MONTH AGO

AND THERE WAS
NO FORWARDING ADDRESS.

TRACK THEM DOWN, ASAP.

HEY.
SO I CHECKED KRIS' ROOM,

THE GYM, BAR AREA --
NO SIGN OF HIM.

YEAH, HOTEL SURVEILLANCE SHOWS
THAT HE LEFT 10 HOURS AGO,

AND HE HASN'T RETURNED.

HEY, MONTY -- JUST THE MAN
I'M LOOKING FOR.

I BET YOU SAY
THAT TO ALL THE BOYS.

SO IT SEEMS THAT KRIS
HAS FLOWN THE COOP.

CAN YOU GET EYES ON HIM?

OR SEE
IF HE SKIPPED TOWN.

HIS PASSPORT
HASN'T BEEN SCANNED ANYWHERE,

SO HE'S STILL IN THE COUNTRY.

NO ACTIVITY
ON HIS CREDIT CARDS.

BUT HE DID USE HIS ATM CARD
15 MINUTES AGO

AT A LIQUOR STORE
NOT TOO FAR AWAY.

ABOUT YOUR BROTHER.

HEY, JACK.
YEAH, WE GOT DAMIAN'S BROTHER,

BUT HE'S GOT
HIS WOBBLY BOOTS ON.

OKAY.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS?

DAMIAN AND I HAVE
A HEDGE FUND COMPANY

THAT'S DONE FAIRLY WELL
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

WE RECENTLY PUT SOME MONEY INTO
AN AMERICAN INVESTMENT GROUP

THAT'S REDEVELOPING LAND
IN TOKYO.

TAYLOR INVESTMENTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.

SO WHAT ELSE AREN'T
YOU TELLING US?

I'M TELLING YOU
EVERYTHING.

LIKE THAT YOUR BROTHER LEFT
THE RESTAURANT FIRST, NOT YOU.

OUR REPUTATION IS IMPORTANT
TO OUR BUSINESS.

I DIDN'T WANT IT OUT THERE
THAT DAMIAN LEFT THE RESTAURANT

FIRST IN THE PURSUIT
OF SOME...

PROFESSIONALS.

SO CAN YOU DESCRIBE
THESE PROFESSIONALS?

DARK, TAN SKIN,
SUNGLASSES.

THEY WERE JAPANESE,

BUT THEY HAD LONG,
BLONDE, SURFER GIRL HAIR.

WELL, BLONDE,
TANNED, SUNGLASSES IN JAPAN

SHOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND.

I'LL SEE WHAT RYO
AND I CAN DIG UP.

EXCUSE US.

WELL, HE'S USING THE PRESENT
VERB TENSE WHEN SPEAKING.

PEOPLE WHO ARE GUILTY TEND
TO USE THE PAST TENSE.

HE'S ALSO PROVIDED DETAILS
IN HIS STORY,

EVEN AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.

WE MIGHT NEED
TO SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THE POLICE
HAD ALREADY BEEN THERE.

THE UNSUB ALREADY
GOT HIS FIX.

BUT THE CAMERA

WAS STILL ON,
JUST LIKE THAT ONE IS NOW.

MEANING THE UNSUB IS WATCHING US
THROUGH KRIS' LAPTOP.

WHERE THIS FEED IS LEADING TO.

GIVE ME A SECOND TO HACK INTO

THE HOTEL'S INTERNET

INTO A JAPANESE HOTEL

SECURED INTERNET CONNECTION.

THIS IS NOT PROTOCOL.

IS BOUNCING THE VIDEO

OFF OF A TORRENT-DISTRIBUTED

NO CENTRAL SERVER,
NO LOG FILES.

I CANNOT TRACE HOW MANY TIMES

THE VIDEO'S BEEN
ACCESSED OR BY WHOM.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO GET AN I.D. HERE, JACK.

MAE, DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING
ABOUT THE GIRLS

THAT DAMIAN WAS
WITH BEFORE HE DIED.

THEY'RE FROM AN ESCORT SERVICE
THAT SPECIALIZES IN GYARU.

IT'S A JAPANESE
GIRLY GLAM STYLE.

THEY USE TANNING BEDS, WIGS,

AND SUNGLASSES TO LOOK
LIKE CALIFORNIA GIRLS.

WE REACHED OUT
TO THE SERVICE,

AND WE TALKED
TO THE GIRLS, AND --

THEIR ALIBIS CHECKED OUT.
YES.

DAMIAN APPROACHED THEM

AND HE DIDN'T WANT
TO PAY THAT MUCH,

AND THE GIRLS WENT
ON TO FIND ANOTHER JOB.

HOW DID YOU
KNOW THAT, JACK?

MONTY, IS THE COMPANY

THAT BOUGHT CHEF DAICHAN'S
TAYLOR INVESTMENTS?

THAT'S AFFIRMATIVE.

THE RESTAURANT
IS OUR COMMON THREAD.

JACK, THE COMMON THREAD
IS NOT JUST CHEF DAICHAN'S,

BUT WHERE IT SITS.

THE TSUKIJI MARKET.

TAYLOR INVESTMENT'S
BUSINESS PLAN

WAS TO REDEVELOP TSUKIJI MARKET.

DAICHAN AND HIS WIFE
LOST THE SUSHI BAR,

COMMITTED SUICIDE JUST PRIOR TO
THE FIRST AMERICAN BEING KILLED.

BUT DEE BROWN IS NOT CONNECTED
TO THE MARKET.

SEE, SHE DIED A WEEK
AFTER DAICHAN

AND HIS WIFE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

NOW, BECAUSE SHE WAS FOUND
IN HER SCHOOL,

NO ONE NOTICED
THAT ALL THREE VICTIMS

LIVE IN THE SAME BUILDING.

NOW, ACCORDING
TO DEE'S CHECKING ACCOUNT,

SHE HAD BEEN MAKING
MONTHLY DEPOSITS

TO DAICHAN,
WHO OWNED HER APARTMENT

AND SUBLEASED IT TO HER.

BUT THERE'S A NOTE HERE SAYING
THAT THE PAYMENTS

WERE TO STOP THIS MONTH.

YEAH, SHE WAS GETTING MARRIED,
MOVING ON.

YOU KNOW, THE SUSHI CHEF'S
WIFE SAID THAT HER HUSBAND

LEFT DAICHAN'S
WHEN HE REALIZED DAICHAN

WAS GONNA LEAVE THE BUSINESS
TO HIS SON.

STRANGE THAT THE SUSHI CHEF
HELD OUT SO LONG,

KNOWING THAT IS
CUSTOMARY.

UNLESS HE THOUGHT THERE WAS
SOME REASON DAICHAN'S SON

COULD NOT FULFILL
THAT COMMITMENT.

THE POLICE REPORT SAID
THAT THE SON, YUKIO,

FIRST HEARD THE SHOT,

FOUND HIS PARENTS DEAD,
THEN CALLED IT IN.

OKAY, YUKIO HAS NO RECORDS
AND NO I.D.

EXCEPT FOR A BIRTH CERTIFICATE
GOING BACK 33 YEARS.

HE'S PRACTICALLY A GHOST.

YUKIO IS THE ONLY PERSON

AT THE CENTER
OF THIS WHO'S STILL ALIVE.

THE DEATH OF HIS PARENTS
COULD HAVE BEEN THE TRIGGER.

HE BLAMES ALL THE VICTIMS
FOR HIS PARENTS' SUICIDE.

THAT'S WHY HE'S USING
SUICIDAL METHODS TO KILL.

THE BLOGGER
BADMOUTHED THE MARKET,

THUS HURTING
DAICHAN'S BUSINESS.

AND THE SUSHI CHEF LEFT
DAICHAN'S TO GO TO A COMPETITOR.

DEE BROWN WAS MOVING, LEAVING
DAICHAN WITHOUT A RENTER.

AND TAYLOR INVESTMENTS
PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS,

MAKING DAMIAN AND HIS BROTHER
THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN.

WE'VE GOT OUR UNSUB.

MONTY, WE NEED
YUKIO'S FAMILY'S HOME ADDRESS.

♪♪

[ SHOUTING IN JAPANESE ]

[ HEAVY METAL PLAYING ]

[ MUSIC TURNS OFF ]

CLEAR.

PASSWORD LOCKED.

MONTY, WE'RE IN
THE UNSUB'S APARTMENT.

CAN YOU HACK INTO HIS COMPUTER?

OKAY, I NEED YOU TO LOOK ON
THE BACK OF THE ROUTER FOR ME.

I'VE GOT IT.

GREAT, NOW READ ME THE ESN.

IT SHOULD BE NINE HEXADECIMAL
CHARACTERS STARTING WITH --

2-1-ALPHA-3-7-2-3-ECHO-1.

Jack: HOW FAST
CAN YOU DO THIS?

SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG.

I NEED YOU TO FIND ME
ANYTHING

THAT POINTS TO WHO
THE NEXT VIC MIGHT BE.

JACK.
THE SLOT IN THE DOOR,

DIRTY DISHES,
ALL THIS TAKE-OUT,

IT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING
I READ ABOUT ON THE WAY OVER.

HIKIKOMORI.
YES.

HIKIKOMORI IS A SOCIOLOGICAL
PHENOMENON HERE IN JAPAN.

IT'S WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE
RETREAT INTO THEIR ROOMS.

THEY CUT
OFF ALL SOCIAL TIES

AND SPEND THEIR TIME WATCHING TV
OR SURFING THE INTERNET.

YEAH, SOME OF THEM SPEND UP
TO 30 YEARS

IN THEIR SELF-INFLICTED
SECLUSION.

WHAT CAUSES IT?

MY PEOPLE HAVE A KEEN SENSE
OF SHAME

IF YOU DO NOT LIVE UP
TO SOCIAL PRESSURES.

WELL, THE PRESSURE
TO TAKE OVER THE FAMILY BUSINESS

COULD HAVE MADE YUKIO RETREAT
BACK TO HIS BEDROOM.

THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN
WHY THE SUSHI CHEF

THOUGHT THE SON COULD NEVER
TAKE OVER THE RESTAURANT.

SO OUR UNSUB HEARS GUNSHOTS.

HE'S FORCED TO LEAVE HIS BEDROOM
AFTER MANY YEARS,

AND THEN HE FINDS HIS PARENTS

HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE
IN THE LIVING ROOM.

I THINK YOU MAY
BE CORRECT, SIMMONS.

YUKIO HAS PICTURES
OF HIS PARENTS' DEAD BODIES

ON HIS COMPUTER.

HOW COULD THEY SHOOT THEMSELVES
IF GUNS ARE BANNED?

IF YOU OWNED THE GUN

PRIOR TO 1971,
YOU WERE ALLOWED TO KEEP THEM.

LOOKS LIKE AN OLD NAMBU PISTOL
FROM WORLD WAR II --

PROBABLY BELONGED
TO DAICHAN'S FATHER.

SO YUKIO
IS MOST LIKELY ARMED.

I FOUND YUKIO'S
HIT LIST,

AND THERE'S TWO EXTRA NAMES
ON IT -- SEAN KAGAME,

WHO IS A JAPANESE-AMERICAN
BUSINESSMAN,

AND JAROD TAYLOR, THE OWNERS
OF TAYLOR INVESTMENTS.

ONE OF THEM
IS YUKIO'S TARGET.

WE NEED TO FIND HIM
BEFORE HE DOES.

WHOA, GUYS,
I HAVE AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

TRYING TO CONTACT THE COMPUTER.

HE'S RECORDING AGAIN.

MEANS HE'S ABOUT TO STRIKE.

HEY, WHAT HAPPENED?

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

YEAH.

SO YUKIO KNOWS WE'RE
IN HIS HOME

AND SHUT US DOWN, BUT NOT
BEFORE I GOT HIS LOCATION.

HE'S IN A NIGHTCLUB

IN SHIBUYA CROSSING.
I'M SENDING THE ADDRESS NOW.

LET'S GO.

[ DANCE MUSIC PLAYS ]

[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]

[ WOMAN SHOUTING ]

UGH.

♪♪

AAH!

[ SCREAMING ]

♪♪

LOCK THIS PLACE DOWN --
NOBODY LEAVES!

HE'S ALIVE.

YUKIO IS HERE, WATCHING.
Clara: YEAH.

HE KNOWS WE WERE
IN HIS HOME,

HE CAN'T GO BACK THERE.

TO SAVOR THIS MOMENT,
HE'S GOT TO STAY HERE, IN IT.

WHICH MEANS WE'RE LOOKING
FOR THE ONE PERSON

WHO IS NOT FILMING.

JACK, IF HE'S BEEN
IN HIS ROOM FOR YEARS,

CHANCES ARE HE HAS
A VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY.

LOOK FOR RASHES
AND RICKETS.

HE'S ALSO TALLER THAN
THE AVERAGE JAPANESE PERSON,

SO HE'S GONNA STICK OUT
IN A CROWD.

HE WILL BE ALONE,
HIS BODY LANGUAGE

WILL BE STIFF AND DISTANT --
HE'S NOT USED TO THESE CROWDS.

♪♪

[ SIREN WAILING ]

YUKIO-KUN.

YOU CAN'T RUN ANYMORE.

THINK OF YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER.

THEY DID NOT
CARE FOR ME.

THEY WERE ASHAMED.

I WAS WEAK.

I FAILED THEM.

BUT NOW THEY
HAVE THEIR REVENGE.

YOU THINK THAT MAKES
WHAT YOU DID OKAY?

I GAVE THEM
EACH AN HONORABLE DEATH.

WHICH IS
MORE THAN THEY DESERVED.

MY PARENTS
WILL FINALLY BE PROUD OF ME.

THERE'S NO HONOR
IN WHAT YOU DID --

FOR THEM OR FOR YOU.

YOU'RE WRONG!

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?

WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT US?!

YUKIO, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU CAN HAVE HONOR.

TURN YOURSELF IN RIGHT
NOW, RIGHT HERE.

I'M NOT DONE YET!

[ SCREAMING ]

[ CROWD MURMURING ]

YOU OKAY?

[ RYO SPEAKS JAPANESE ]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE
AND YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

WE ARE MUCH MORE FLEXIBLE
THAN THE WORLD BELIEVES.

[ SPEAKS JAPANESE ]

SO HOW MUCH TROUBLE
ARE YOU IN WITH THE BOSS LADY

FOR TALKING OUT OF TURN?

WHATEVER IT IS,
IT WAS WORTH IT.

HEY.

PLEASE ACCEPT THIS AS A TOKEN
OF OUR APPRECIATION.

ONLY IF YOU LET ME SEND YOU
SOME AMERICAN WHISKEY IN RETURN.

TWIST MY ARM.

SO, ANY UPDATES
ON OUR BURN VICTIM?

YEAH, WE WERE ABLE
TO GET TO SEAN IN TIME.

HE'S GONNA HAVE A LONG ROAD
AHEAD OF HIM,

BUT HE'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

AND HIS BUSINESS
PARTNER, JAROD,

WAS FOUND SAFE
IN THEIR HOTEL ROOM.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA LOCK YOURSELF
IN A ROOM FOR 30 YEARS, ARE YOU?

NO, OUR JOB SORT OF
PREVENTS THAT.

CAN I SAY SOMETHING?

CAN I STOP YOU?

I ADMIRE YOU, CLARA.

YOU'RE SO GIVING,
SO WARM,

SO SMART THAT SOMETIMES I
WANT TO PUNCH YOU.

BUT THE LONGER
THAT YOU ISOLATE YOURSELF,

THE HARDER IT'S GONNA BE
TO COME BACK TO THE REAL WORLD.

SO LET'S JUST RIP OFF
THE BAND-AID AND GO FOR IT.

OKAY.

REALLY?

YEAH.

BUT JUST YOU AND I --
NO GUYS.

I AM NOT QUITE READY
FOR THAT EXCITEMENT YET.

YEAH, OKAY, COOL.
I'M GOOD WITH BABY STEPS.

GOOD.

LET'S GO HOME.
