0:02
>> The Minister of Defense, Tamia.
0:12
>> We have. Last time we spoke was in
0:14
Okinawa, was it? Then I presume you know
0:18
that I've been in contact with Daiko
0:20
Dojima regarding the proposed Okinawa
0:24
>> Yeah. heard all about it from your
0:27
secretary, Toma, about a year ago.
0:31
>> And as you're aware, after their
0:32
chairman was shot, the Tojo clan began
0:36
to fall apart at the seams. Those who
0:39
supported Suzuki redoubled their efforts
0:41
to push the resort deal forward. In
0:44
turn, I had no choice but to ensure my
0:47
military expansion bill passed as well.
0:51
>> What do you mean? I thought it was the
0:55
The movement on the resort deal started
0:57
back up because you were trying to pass
1:00
>> Not exactly. A third party appeared and
1:03
set me up. Their actions unfortunately
1:12
And what does any of this have to do
1:16
>> I have a favor to ask of you. Will you
1:20
>> Is it to keep the resort from starting
1:23
>> Close. The end result will ultimately
1:28
>> I'm not sure I follow. Aren't your bill
1:31
and Suzuki's resort some kind of package
1:34
deal? If that resort doesn't happen,
1:37
then neither will the base expansion.
1:40
>> If only it were that simple.
1:42
Regardless, if you want to put a stop to
1:45
this resort deal, then come to my office
1:48
and the diet building.
1:50
>> Right through the front doors, huh? Only
1:53
way in. I'll have my driver wait for you
1:56
in front of the Millennium Tower and
1:58
take you straight there.
2:04
I have a few questions of my own that
2:06
could use some answering anyway.
2:12
>> Hey, Kiru, it's me. So, what's the
2:16
>> Big news, Dan. I just got off the phone
2:19
with Tamia, the Minister of Defense, not
2:23
>> Huh? Why would he want to talk to you?
2:30
not sure what though, but it looks like
2:32
someone from the Tojo clan might be
2:34
pulling some strings. Someone who's got
2:36
an ally in the government.
2:39
Tommy also mentioned there was another
2:40
player involved, a third party.
2:44
I'm about to head over to the diet
2:45
building and talk with him.
2:49
>> All right. And how are you going to get
2:52
>> He's sending his personal driver over.
2:55
Told me to meet them at the Millennium
2:56
Tower, and they'll get me through the
3:00
>> Wait, Kiru. I'm coming with you. No ifs,
3:07
Where are you right now?
3:08
>> It's Serena, but I can leave anytime.
3:11
You said the Millennium Tower, right?
3:14
>> Yeah. Might want to get a move on then.
3:17
Let's meet at the entrance.
