Inside the Yashida Suite, Kitano Hotel, 66 Park Avenue

*translated from the Japanese
Yashida Toru sits with his head in in hands as Yashida Haruka throws things into a suitcase.
"*Our flight leaves in four hours!" she barks, "You must call the embassy, and tell them they will deal with the American police."
He says nothing.
She paces back and forth, calling down to the concierge and shouting to have the car service ready. Finally, he stands up. "*Haruka! You will obey me. We will stay."
She glares at him, hissing, "*You have business in Nippon - the Americans..."
"*Rei was my daughter!" he roars. "*I will do what I must."
Her mouth tightens. "*I will tell our son we will stay. He, at least, knows his duty." She storms out.
Yashida Toru sighs and picks up the phone.

Voicemail on Detective Elliot Stabler's line.
"Detective Stabler - This is Yashida Toru. I meant to return to Nippon today. But....my daughter. I need to know. I cannot stay much longer. Please...tell me if you think you will find the person who did this to her."
