I was hoping if you

about these yakuza raids.
You are covering yakuza again?
Well, for this story, yeah, we all are.
Off the record, could you just tell me

he invited me to his house.
He's cooking me dinner.

Can you call me back?

Hmm.
So is it the girl
from the embassy party?
That voicemail you just left,
I'm guessing it's the girl.
You're not a bad reporter, are you?
[CHUCKLES] I try.
So?
Yeah, it's her.
She's beautiful.
Tin-Tin is sure he's seen her somewhere
but can't place her.
Hmm.
Well, I'm pretty sure
it's over anyway, so
Is there any Japanese context in which
not returning my calls means anything
besides "go fuck yourself"?
No.
So are you really in the FBI?
[CHUCKLES]
I would love to say yes to impress you,
but no, I'm with the State Department.
But your boss is FBI?
- Lynn?
- Yeah.
Yes, but I work with her
but not under her.
I'm just a paper pusher,
facilitate briefings,
that kind of thing.
I can think of worse jobs.
I'm not complaining.
I would have taken any post
to get out of the U.S.
So now that you know, does that make you
more or less interested in this drink?
About the same level of interest.
