You wait till you get a family.

The man was just trying to get by.

What the f*** are you looking at?

- What happened?

- I don't know.

He bit his lip or something.

Seat belt tight, babe?

We've got the local heat.

I think you are looking for us.

Detective Conklin from New York.

Welcome to Japan.

I am Inspector Nashida.

This is my partner,

Detective Vincent.

Do you have some paperwork for us?

Would you sign here

and here, please?

Key, please.

Thank you.

Come on, Nicky.

Off duty! I'll be in and out of geishas

like a Time's Square pickpocket.

Remember ladies, if you get bored,

Hotel Meiji.

I am Inspector Yamato,

Osaka Police.

They were dressed as officers.

It was in Japanese.

All right?

They were wearing uniforms.

They had the paperwork.

Definite maybes

and definite don't knows.

It ain't a lot of fun over here.

I went by the book.

There's no way to verify the ID.

- Maybe, I don't know.

- Nine definite maybes.

- Could I score some coffee?

- Coffee? One?

The paperwork is in Japanese.

I can't do a strip search.

I've been here two hours.

How much more time?

He does that one more time,

I'll cut it off.

Unbelievable, identical strangers.

This is still an NYPD collar, right?

- Noodles? Don't hurt yourself.

- I'll salvage the situation.

What the hell

is that supposed to mean?

Tell the IAD suits to kiss my ass.

Enough of this bullshit.

Are we on?

Nicky, game time.

We're on, Captain.

I'll call you later.

- What did Oliver have to say?

- You don't want to know.

- Are you going to be nice?

- I'll be nice.

I just hope one of these Nips

speaks English.

Assistant Inspector

Matsumoto Masahiro, Osaka Police.

And I do speak f***ing English.

Ask if there were

any witnesses at the airport.

The superintendent says

it's possible.

Manned space flight is possible.

Am I missing something here?

- He's tired from the flight.

- Could I get some coffee?

Tell us who this Sato guy is

and maybe we can help you.

Translate every word.

I want every word translated.

Yes, I understand.

Because of your negligence

a criminal has escaped.

- You should apologize.

- Our negligence?

They had your documents, your

uniforms and were in a secure area.

We'll take some of the heat for this

but we're not taking the rap.

- The bite, the fall.

- The blame.

- This is an insurance policy.

- He speaks English.

The police will find

your escaped prisoner.

You are foreigners. Nothing more

than interested observers.

- Go home, detective.

- This is an international incident.

Until you sign off on this d*ckhead,

his ass is mine.

We either work together on this

together or I'm going to the Press.

Craig Bolotin

Craig Martin Bolotin is an American screenwriter and film director. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley where he studied philosophy and penned film reviews. He’s written and rewritten numerous screenplays (several unaccredited) for such directors as Ridley Scott and Francis Ford Coppola. After moving to Los Angeles, Bolotin wrote and directed the short film Sapphire Man starring Powers Boothe, which was selected to play at the Sundance Film Festival, and won the Special Gold Jury Award at the Houston International Film Festival. His screenwriting break came with his first uncredited rewrite for the critically acclaimed Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Rosanna Arquette and Madonna. The film was named one of the 10 best films of the year by The New York Times. Arquette was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a comedy. Shortly thereafter, Bolotin sold his first original screenplay, a comedy No Small Affair starring John Cryer. His next produced credit was Black Rain starring Michael Douglas and directed by Ridley Scott, which grossed over 140 million dollars. Bolotin then wrote the original screenplay Straight Talk, produced by Disney. He directed his first feature film for producer Arnon Milchan and Warner Brothers, That Night, starring Juliette Lewis. This was also the first feature film for actresses Eliza Dushku and Katherine Heigl. He then wrote and directed the original screenplay Light It Up with Forest Whittaker and Rosario Dawson, a story that shines a light on the plight of inner city school children. Bolotin wrote the script for The Longest Ride (2015), based on the novel of the same name for Fox 2000. He recently adapted Hilary Mantel's novel Eight Months on Ghazzah Street, which Michael Apted is attached to direct. more…
