Man from Reno Page #3

Synopsis: In a small town south of San Francisco, Sheriff Paul Del Moral (Pepe Serna) is driving home through the fog when he accidentally strikes a pedestrian, a lone Japanese man. However, before an investigation can take place the man disappears from the hospital without a trace. At the same time, Japanese mystery author Aki Akahori (Ayako Fujitani) takes a trip to San Francisco in order to escape the press tour for her latest book--a potboiler in her world famous "Inspector Takabe" series. Feeling lonely and vulnerable, she begins a romantic affair with a mysterious Japanese traveler from Reno (Kazuki Kitamura). Her new lover is charismatic and charming but abruptly disappears from the hotel, leaving behind his suitcase and a trail of questions...

Sorry about this, Paul.

I'm going to have to cut it short.

I'm sorry we couldn't

be more help.

- Yahwe, cut the sheriff a check for

his campaign. - Oh, no, it's all right.

Ah, whatever he needs,

whatever ne needs.

- Yeah? - The coroner

got prints off the body,

- and guess what? He's got a record.

- What's his name?

Oh, yeah. It's, um...

Akira Suzuki.

He lives, or he lived

in San Francisco.

You got an address for me?

Lettuce?

Are you looking for Akira?

Oh, he has been at home.

I just never see him.

I can hear him

all the time, yes.

You know, the walls

here are very thin,

and then you put

your ear up to it,

you can hear

absolute everything.

Okay. When was the last

time you heard him?

Last week.

He had a friend over,

and they were arguing

late at night.

Any idea what they were

talking about?

I don't speak Japanese.

I speak English,

I speak German, Italian,

uh, French,

- but no Japanese.

- Oh. Okay.

- Oh! I heard him say "Kami."

- Commie?

Over and over and over again.

He said kami, kami, kami.

- Like communist? - I don't know why.

I mean, the wall came down

- over 20 years ago.

- And does he live alone?

Uh, sometimes the girl's there

every few months, you know?

She comes for a few days

and goes away,

- comes again, goes away.

- Do you know her name?

I've never seen her.

Only hearing the noise.

- Any idea what line of work he's in?

- Fish.

- Fish?

- Fish.

Hello?

Hey!

And, um, give me

a pack of camel, too.

- Excuse me, Miss Akahori?

- Yes?

I'm detective

Jason Hoffman, SFPD.

You filed a report earlier today

- about a break-in at your

hotel room. - Yes.

Well, I've got good news.

We got him.

I just need you

to come with me for

a formal identification.

You'll have to

put that out first.

Um...

let me put these away.

This will only

take a few minutes.

- Let me go get my jacket.

- Here you go.

I'm sorry to rush you,

but we really want to get this guy...

Miss Akahori?

Miss Akahori.

Miss Akahori.

We're not here to hurt you.

All you have to do

is tell me where it is.

- You took it! - I don't know what

Hitoshi has been telling you,

but go ahead and shop him

around, Miss Akahori.

No one else is going to be interested.

You get my drift?

No.

- You think she understood that?

- Oh, I think she got it.

San Marco County investigators

are looking for answers

after the discovery

of a body in a local pond.

Local officials

have not released

the identity of the victim

but have confirmed

they are investigating

the incident as a homicide,

their first in over a decade.

Uh, at this time we are

pursuing all available leads.

- Anzar Lake is a secluded...

- Well, thanks for your help.
