[Kido visits Trade Minister Tagomi]
Ah. Inspector, please. [ushers to seats]
No, thank you, Trade Minister. I will not stay long.
I appreciate you coming at such a busy time.
What could we not discuss on the telephone?
I felt it correct to speak in person. Guests of the Ministry have asked when their passports would be returned. I assured them I would inquire.
As soon as their identities are verified and their reasons for being in the Pacific States, all of their documents will be returned.
How long do you estimate it will take?
I offer no estimate. You met with a foreign visitor at his hotel this morning.
I met with several guests. They're honorable businessmen, not assassins. Their time is valuable.
All of our time is valuable.
I understand what is at stake.
Do you?
I was with the Royal Couple. So yes, I believe I do.
Then no doubt you will understand why I must disappoint you, Trade Minister. I am sorry, but in this instance there will be no exceptions. [bows and leaves]
