- Tozawa owns this guy,
blackmailing him with the Yoshino videotape.
Now he's got the FBI in his pocket.
If I didn't hate that fucker so much, I would be impressed.
- To publish anything, we need evidence
Tozawa actually got this illegal transplant.
And name who helped him do it.
- It was Lynn Oberfeld.
She's on the take.
- We have no proof.
- Jake's circumstantial evidence is strong.
- Circumstantial doesn't get printed by the "Meicho."
Think about it.
Do we really believe
one FBI agent could make this happen?
- What if the FBI itself made it happen?
♪ ♪
- Hawaii.
- The Miura-gumi bust.
Tozawa knows he is dying.
He cannot get Shigematsu
to take him off the no-fly list.
- So he contacts the FBI. - Yes.
Offers them information on yakuza activity in America.
- In exchange for keeping him alive.
- There was another FBI yakuza bust
in San Francisco three months ago.
[smacks table]
It's still just a theory.
- Not if we can get someone at the U.S. embassy
to confirm it.
What about your friend Jason?
- See what he knows.
- I will go to Tozawa's doctor.
Where Jake got those medical records.
- Find out if he had any contact
with U.S. authorities or hospitals in Minneapolis.

[line beeps] - Why are you not answering?
Tozawa's wife, she knows. Call me.
- You ever heard anything like this before?
- There was talk years ago about a yakuza
out of Yokohama being an FBI informant.
Harada Isamu.
[engine backfires]
[engine rumbling]
- Harada Isamu. Yeah, I've heard of him before.
- Someone claimed to have seen his signature
on an official FBI agreement.
- Okay.
I'm gonna take this information back to my colleagues.
I'll let you know what we find out.
- Jake.
[engine turns over]
- I have a favor to ask you. Confidentially.
- Of course. What is it?
- We are working on the story about the yakuza
who got a liver transplant in the U.S.
There is a belief among my colleagues
he did so with help from the FBI.
- Seriously? - Yes.
In exchange, we think he provided
the information about yakuza activity in the States.
A colleague just told me that in another such case,
there was a signed contract between the FBI
and the Japanese criminal informant.
- You know I wouldn't have access to that information.
- You have connections in Washington, D.C.
- Is that what I am to you? A source?
- You know what you mean to me.
If we do not prove this story,
my friend Jake could be killed.
Please.
- What's the guy's name?
- Shinzo Tozawa.
You know him?
- I've heard of him.
I have to go.
Unless there's something else I can do for you?
Nuclear codes, maybe?
I'll see what I can do.
No guarantees.
[both speaking Japanese]
- [speaking Japanese]
- Hmm...
- Okay.
- You could have killed that man.
- That was never the plan.
I lost my shit.
- So there was a plan.
But you didn't tell me because you knew I wouldn't help.
- He's the reason Polina ended up on Tozawa's boat.
- Even so. - You're right.
I'm sorry.
- Samantha.
You always run toward chaos.
Maybe you feel most alive
when everything around you is falling apart.
But I don't.
The club you made was a beautiful thing.
- Thank you.
- But we are done.
You and I.
- Erika.
- I'm finished with the mizu shobai.
But also, I'm done

And I don't think you know how to live in a different one.

- Hey, it's Jason.
I spoke to a friend in D.C.,
had him poke around about your guy.
- And?
- Shinzo Tozawa's been a criminal informant
for the FBI for the last year and a half.
His information has led
to a few major busts in the U.S.
- [sighs] Thank you.
- Will your source go on record?
- No.
But there is a contract signed by both parties.
His colleague in the States has seen it.
- It's a risky move on Tozawa's part.
If it came out in his world that he was dealing
with the FBI, who knows what kind of reprisal
there would be.
- Yeah, but better face the risks
than die of liver disease.
It's his only move.
- Can you get a copy?
- Of a top secret United States government agreement?
- We need on-the-record confirmation.
Get an appointment with the FBI Legat there.
- I'll do it.
I'll get the quote.
- You can't be seen pursuing this.
- Yeah, Maruyama-san, it's the American embassy.

I won't tell anyone if you don't.

I wanted to follow up on.
This guy you said got the transplant, Stanley Tanaka?
- Yes, Spencer Tanaka. - Spencer Tanaka.
And he's a high school English teacher, yeah?
- Yeah, that's right. - Got it.
I guess my question is,
how does a high school English teacher afford
a $250,000 watch?
Because that's what Spencer Tanaka gave Dr. Walker
as a thank-you gift for his new liver.
I know Shinzo Tozawa is an informant for the FBI.
I've seen a copy of the agreement
between the Bureau and Tozawa.
My source gave me a copy.
- Bullshit. - It's not the only one.
Does Isamu Harada ring a bell?
The "Meicho" is gonna publish
all of the FBI's yakuza asset agreements.
I wanted to give you an opportunity
to respond beforehand.

of extremely sensitive operations,
not to mention put agents' lives at risk.

- You give me an on-background quote attributed to the FBI
confirming the operation, I won't print any contracts.
Except Tozawa.
He's done.

not understanding the meaning of the word "confidential"?
- Give me the name of your source,
you get your confirmation.
That's the deal.

- Tozawa is an FBI asset.
- How did you get that?

I had copies of a bunch of their CI agreements.
I'll get you the finished piece as soon as I can.
