Oh man.

- What?

The grenade...

- What's with it?

I took the pin out.

Hell of a grenade.

- No, those were the grenades in the car.

What did you find out?

Miko left the department 19 years

ago because she was pregnant.

Her file is missing.

At that moment the department of

Defense opens a new file, top secret.

I couldn't get my hands on it, however...

I got pictures.

Didn't you take the wrong file?

These are wedding pictures.

The groom is the son of one of

the biggest gangsters in the north.

Takanawa, the Zebra, because...

- He has a scar all over his face.

Do you know him?

- I played golf with him.

Go on.

- Fifth on the left.

Miko?

- Amongst all the gangsters in town.

She was so honest, what is this...

- Wait, there is more.

Miko was with the maffia.

Still not two months ago she got

a medal from the minister.

Working undercover.

She infiltrated the Yakuza

to get them from the inside.

But to do that she

had to break up with her past.

She left me to serve her country.

You would have done the

same in her shoes.

Yes maybe.

The rest is simple. She did good

work, untill they discovered.

So she transferred money from

the Zebra to another account...

and left me some clues.

Be careful. That's very spicy.

Still I think there is something missing.

What's that?

I don't know.

Why didn't she say

I have a daughter?

I don't know. Maybe she didn't

want to involve you.

And when she saw she couldn't

protect her anymore, you had to do it.

Protect her? From herself.

She knows her daughter.

If I wasn't there she would spend

the 200 million dollar very fast.

Tell me, what's this?

- Wasabi.

Really good.

Really, delicious.

The dirt under her nails,

where did it come from?

Kyoto.

Ofcourse.

That's where I declared my love to Miko.

That's where it all began

and all shall end. Let's go.

Hurry. We have to be back in

Tokyo before 10.

My dear Hubert. I sacrificed myself

for my country, and I regret it.

All these years I wanted to be with you,

even though you weren't away.

Because you never left me. You remained

in my heart and you always will.

Take good care of our daughter. She is

great, but she spends too much money.

Here is the number so you can keep

an eye on her account.

There should be enough money

for you and our daughter.

It isn't much compensation ofcourse...

but I hope that our daughter will

make all those bad memories go away.

Because only the good memories

remain, right?

Yours forever, Miko.

Are there still any of the old guys?

There are still a few alive.

- We will need them.

Captain Yasumoto, please.

Oh hello. Deposit or withdrawal.

Withdrawal.
