What's his name?
Kaito.
He is younger than me. The one who went to school.
So smarter.

He looked up to me. Followed me everywhere.
I used to get angry. I would tell him to go away.
He wants to be like me still. Chihara-kai.
I promised our mother I wouldn't let him.
But Hayama has pulled him close.
So get him out.
(SCOFFS) I have tried. He will not listen.
Then try again. Don't take no for an answer.

It's the good life, and I'm lucky.
Lucky... and rich.

So, your dad knows Bill, huh?
Ah, that's great. Small world.
Yeah. Thank you so much for taking the time
to speak to me on such short notice.
Well, I just have a few minutes,
but you said you're writing a piece?
JAKE: Yeah, I'll only need a few minutes.
It's for the Meicho Shimbun in Tokyo.
We're doing a story about how U.S. innovations in medicine
make their way to Japan.
Well, happy to help however I can.
JAKE: Yeah. Well, to start,
what can you tell me about the transplant wait list?
DR. WALKER: Well, it's long. (SIGHS)
We have about 400 folks on the list right now.
JAKE: And that's, uh, Americans only,
or foreign nationals as well?
No. We don't treat foreign nationals here.
This list is for Americans only.
And, uh, what's the average wait time on a liver?
Well, for us, it can be up to five years.

I hope that helped.
Sorry to rush, but I gotta get back.
JAKE: No. Thank you so much for your time.
- Anytime. - Nice watch.
Oh. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, thanks.
Dr. Walker, what percentage of patients on the list die
waiting for a liver that they never get?
Oh, well, that, uh, hovers around ten percent.
Hmm. And where did you get that Vacheron Constantin?
- I'm sorry? - JAKE: The watch.
It's a Vacheron Constantin, right?
- They don't make many of those. - I'm... I'm not following.
Here's the thing.
I would love to write a story about how great you are
and how great SMMC is.
I'd rather not write a story about that watch
and how it was a gift from a high-level Japanese gangster
who flew in, jumped the waiting list,
and went under your knife.
- Listen, I had no ch... - But if you don't help me,
I will.
And then you can kiss your career bye-bye.

JAKE: Katagiri-san.
- Jake. - JAKE: Ready for this?
Tozawa not only got a liver transplant at SMMC.
The second a match became available,
he was prepped and ready for surgery
the very next morning.
Who told you this?
JAKE: His surgeon, Dr. Walker.
Patient covered in tats head to toe.
Barely spoke English.
There were guards outside the OR and outside recovery.
The patient was listed as, get this, Spencer Tanaka. S.T.
And after the surgery, these Japanese guys in suits
give Walker a quarter-million-dollar watch,
and tell him they would appreciate his discretion.
KATAGIRI: (IN JAPANESE) And there it is.
JAKE: (IN ENGLISH) The real question is,
how did Tozawa manage to skirt a No-Fly ban?
Who did he have to bribe to pull something like that off?
There's a story here.
And many more questions.
When are you coming back to Japan?
I have four days left here.
KATAGIRI: Jake, we do not have four days.
I do not have four days!
I can't just up and leave. My family would kill me.
KATAGIRI:Jake, Tozawa is consolidating power.
You just found critical evidence against him.
I'm sorry to ask.
But many more people may die here
if we do not see this through.
(IN JAPANESE) I need you in Tokyo. Now.

Hey, how's it going there? You get what you needed?
I'm glad. Can't wait to hear the whole thing.
You on your way back?

Where? What are you doing in Dallas?
Jake, what about...
You promised Jess.
What's she supposed to... She's been waiting for you to...
This isn't a way to do things.
What am I supposed to tell your mother?
I understand that you're needed,
but there will always be something bigger
and more urgent than your family if you let it be.
Be safe.
