Total:
30 million yen.

Have it ready by tomorrow.

Then we'll talk again.

lf you love your son,

don't call the police.

No, of course not.

Good-bye, Mr. Gondo.

Please get Jun back. Hurry!

Keep calm.

l'll get him back,

no matter what it costs.

l'll raise more money later.

l'll call the police.

No! You want Jun to be killed?

Don't worry.

lt'll be all right.

Did you call me, Mom?

What's the matter?

What is this?

A practical joke?

Jun, where's Shinichi?

l hid like you said,

but he never came. Some sheriff!

Shinichi was wearing

Jun's outfit.

Even l got them mixed up.

Shinichi!

Call the police.

No! The kidnapper

might hurt him.

A chauffeur can't pay ransom.

He'll let him go.

But l won't let him

get away with this.

The police?

No, a department store delivery.

Odd at this hour.

What's keeping the police?

Don't worry.

Your son's safe.

He has to be.

lt's the police.

Would you please

close all the drapes?

l'm Chief lnspector Tokura.

From down there,

if he's got a telescope...

the kidnapper can see

this entire room.

- Any more phones?

- One upstairs.

- Listed?

- Just this one.

Here's the phone.

We'll get ready

to tap his calls.

Only he may not call again.

Not if he finds out.

He may still think

he has your son.

Broadcast the mistake

on radio and TV.

Then he'll know

you've notified us.

So?

He warned you

he'd kill the boy.

He thought he had my son.

He has to return him.

You think so,

but the kidnapper may not.

Kidnapping cases are hard.

His protection is the hostage.

On our way here

the Chief told us...

" Save the child first,

then catch the kidnapper."

And this time

we must be especially careful.

They usually ask 200,000.

The highest was two million.

is an incredible ransom.

The kidnapper's extreme,

maybe mentally disturbed.

You're the boy's father?

A widower.

lt's his only child too.

You'll find him?

We'll do our best.

What will you do?

Wait for his next move.

lt's all we can do.

lt's an ordeal for you...

but safest for the boy.

All ready.

Have the telephone company

trace all calls here.

Where's your son, Mrs. Gondo?

lnside.

Ask him what happened

before and after the kidnapping.

Wait. Nakao, you go.

Taguchi might frighten the boy.

You talk to the father.

Do you have a recent photo?

Yes. l'll get it.

lt's time to drive

Mr. Kawanishi to the airport.

You're in no shape to go.

Take a cab.

Wait. lt may be

the kidnapper.

Upstairs phone.

Keep him talking.

Maybe we can trace him.

Hello. Gondo speaking.

Hello. Gondo speaking.

l got the wrong boy.

Don't celebrate yet. Listen.

l don't care whose boy it is.

You're paying.

Why me?

Don't ask.
