[Chief Inspector Kido and Sgt Yoshida police the room of the now-dead SS sniper pinned in the Crown Prince assassination]
Go through his desk. Anything official must be destroyed.
I do not understand, sir.
I think you do, Sergeant.
What is this man's crime?
The shooting of the Crown Prince.
Hai. But we've been pursuing Frank Frink.
The witness said Frank never discharged his weapon.
Then why not arrest and interrogate this man?
Because that is exactly what the Nazis would want us to do. There'd be war. A war that currently our Empire cannot win. Nobody must ever know about this, Sergeant.
But if Frink is gone and we cannot report the capture of the real assassin, how can Tokyo be satisfied?
Whatever sacrifice is necessary. That is my burden alone, and I shall carry it. Yours is to remain silent and to act as my Kaishaku-nin. Now do you understand, Yoshida-san?
Hai.
The desk. [Yoshida works on it]
