[Yakuza oyabun Taishi Okamura meets Chief Insp Kido]
We are looking for the man who killed your guards, but I assume that's not why you asked me here.
You impounded heroin at the docks this afternoon. Am I to conclude that this was in retaliation?
You may conclude as you wish.
Such behavior is futile, Chief Inspector. The Yakuza cannot be destroyed any more than the sun can destroy the shade. This has been understood in our homeland for centuries. I cannot destroy the shadows you cast, but I can and will contain it.
That is my duty.
Just as it is your duty to arrest the man who shot the Crown Prince. I'm told if you do not make an arrest by tomorrow, Tokyo demands that you commit seppuku.
No one need remind me of my duty. I have a suspect close at hand.
You mean that hakujin? The one who works in the replica factory? The real assassin fired from a clock tower with a sniper's rifle. Your so-called inconclusive ballistics report told you as much.
What's your point?
I believe you have pursued a false suspect to disguise a truth you have known from the start - that the assassin is a Nazi agent. If it were known that a Nazi fired at our Prince, that would be an act of war, a war many in the Reich would be happy to see but one our Empire would almost certainly lose.
I do not deny your accusation, nor will I confirm it.
I don't need you to, Chief Inspector. You see, I have the name of the assassin, the real assassin.
Name your price.
My price cannot be paid with money, Chief Inspector, but it is very, very high.
