Shanghai Page #4

---

How do you do?

I should get back to my husband.

Of course. Thank you for the dance.

Not at all.

She doesn't look very married.

Neither do you.

Drop me off at the harbor.

Kita was Conner's only known contact.

I figured if Conner trusted him,

I probably could too.

So I found us a quiet place to talk.

What do you want to tell me?

I was helping Conner.

In exchange he promised me

an American passport.

I was supposed to get it a year ago.

He said he would help me.

Uh-huh. Well, we're here to help.

Keep talking.

Conner called me a few days before he died.

He needed a checkpoint pass for a friend.

His friend was Japanese.

He was trying to smuggle her out of Shanghai.

He told me not to tell anyone.

After he was killed I was scared

you'd think I set him up.

What'd you do with the pass?

I took it to the apartment in Chapei like he said.

What apartment?

Conner lived in the International Settlement.

He gave me an address in Chapei.

When I went, there was nobody there.

I can prove it. I still have the pass.

This was Conner's girlfriend.

Her name is Sumiko.

I can show you where the apartment is.

So all Conner wanted was a checkpoint pass?

Was he working on anything else?

Just routine naval intelligence.

He had me report on the Emperor's East China Fleet.

He never told me what the information was for

and I never asked.

Just ask them if they ever saw him

with a young woman.

According to the neighbors,

the girl disappeared the night Conner was killed.

She set him up.

Must have rented another room.

An attic or a basement.

Anywhere he could have used as a darkroom.

So why didn't the girl hand these over

when she turned him in?

Maybe Conner still had enough sense not

to tell her everything.

I saw this man

with Lan-Ting at the German Consulate.

His name's Tanaka.

He's head of Japanese Intelligence for Shanghai.

These are Navy and Air Corps officers here.

We should find out who the other men are in that picture.

Tanaka's saluting them, they've gotta be ranking officers.

That's Lan-Ting's wife.

Her father was a respected politician till

the Japanese took him out.

They would have killed her too

but her family arranged for her to marry Lan-Ting.

He protects her.

Anna was everywhere...

...in the city...

...but she always seemed to be hiding something.

So I did what you do with a puzzle.

I stared at it until it made sense.

I have to see what that Japanese bastard wants

No, not now!

This will just take a minute.

I'll be right back.

Anthony, get down! Get down!

Anthony!

Anthony!

Paul, come in.

You're lucky the bastards couldn't shoot straight.

Even luckier that you were there.

Who do I have to thank for that?
