Synopsis
| - Mark meets with his father, Eliot, in Eliot's office. Eliot offers him a contract to go to Tokyo and deliver a subpoena, an offer which Mark accepts. James arrives with an anonymous offer to buy one of Mark's masks, an offer which Mark declines. James calls DeVree and informs him. DeVree, in Tokyo, is being driven to a meeting with Dumas. He is accompanied by Akira Shiamura, a man who will take over when DeVree retires. They meet and give Dumas the job telling him that Mark Shaw will come here.
Mark flies first class to Tokyo and finds his accomodations at Ryokan Inabaso, a pre-war house converted into an inn. That night he visits downtown Tokyo and switches to Manhunter as he arrives at the house of his target, Stephen Lee. He enters the penthouse only to be ambushed by Dumas throwing daggers. Manhunter hurls himself out the window and reenters the building further down disrupting a business meeting, members of whom call for the police. Once on the ground Manhunter is surrounded by policemen. He prepares to surrender and explain when one of Dumas' throwing daggers flips through Manhunter's hand and strikes and kills a police officer. Manhunter suspects one of the cops of being Dumas but flees thinking the cops would no longer be willing to listen. Manhunter escapes with Dumas in pursuit. After surviving a car impact, Manhunter flees the crowd thinking he has seen his own face. Dumas, now disguised as Mark Shaw, grabs a policeman's gun and kills several policemen with it. Dumas/Shaw escapes after surrendering Mark Shaw's passport. Dumas quickly finds Manhunter and introduces himself. He tells Manhunter that, because of him, both Manhunter and Mark Shaw are wanted by the police. He then explains he has taken a contract on Mark Shaw for the Manhunter mask and Mark's life. Manhunter manages to flee Dumas, forfeiting his power baton in the process, and comes to a stop at the bottom of a building construction project. As Dumas descends, Manhunter hits the beams with electrical wires stunning Dumas and allowing Manhunter to escape. Mark removes his costume but finds himself quickly surrounded by Yukuza who want Mark to come with them.
