:18:02
beautiful, graceful, elegant...
:18:05
yet single-minded of purpose
:18:07
and deadly when it finds
what it wants.
:18:10
This particular one
is valued at over $20,000.
:18:15
A luxury item, to be certain,
:18:18
but I am a man who appreciates
the finer things in life.
:18:22
Oh, this...
This is a rare Samurai pen,
:18:26
a gift from Emperor Hirohito.
:18:29
Unbreakable.
Impervious to everything but water.
:18:33
- lts value is beyond estimation.
- That's fascinating.
:18:37
But I'm sure you didn't pay this
visit for a lecture on fine art.
:18:42
To what do I owe the honour?
:18:45
I'm investigating the attempted
murder of a dock worker,
:18:50
a man named Nordberg,
a police officer.
:18:56
He is still alive, then?
:18:58
He was shot six times.
:19:00
Fortunately, the bullets missed
every vital organ.
:19:03
- The salt water preserved him.
- So they...
:19:07
So they got him
to the hospital in time?
:19:09
He's in the intensive care ward
at Our Lady of the Worthless Miracle.
:19:13
This certainly comes
as a shock to me.
:19:16
As you know, I'm not the kind of man
who takes such things lightly.
:19:22
There is no room in my organisation
for criminal activity.
:19:25
Look out there - a vast
commercial development built by me.
:19:30
Do you have any idea what was
out there just five years ago?
:19:35
You bet you do. Orange groves!
:19:37
Acres of them.
As far as the eye could see.
:19:40
But now that land will generate
ten times the amount of profit.
:19:46
Are you all right, Lieutenant?
:19:49
Let me get you some Kleenex.
:19:51
Has this officer -
:19:54
What's his name? Nordberg -
:19:57
been able to tell you anything?
