On a rainy night, John Moyama is making a call to the U.S. military from a telephone booth. He wears his black rain cape, the only belonging he brought from Japan after immigrating to the US post-World War II. John gets into contact with Major Bales and reports that Professor Carl Graves is pushing for information once again. The call ends with Major Bales ordering him to keep Graves at his apartment until he can drop by. Earlier that day, Carl Graves sat at home looking over a research article by Moyama in the _Journal of Neurology. _Graves is on the cusp of answering a major question in physics about saturation, and some of the methods and equipment used by Moyama may hold the key. He ambitiously imagines himself among Nobel Prize winners and other household names. Having been friends with Moyama for years, he joins him and his girlfriend for dinner at their apartment. They end up discussing his time in the Japanese army. He joined toward the end of World War II but was still taught to fly suicide missions. The conversation grows tense as Graves starts pushing about the research once again. His friend explains that it was funded by the government, so the information is strictly confidential. Moyama then dismisses himself to get a snack from the vending machine, taking his coin purse and black rain cape. The phone rings after Moyama returns, and he says that a friend called to come over for drinks. Major Bales joins them in the apartment with a date and introduces himself to Graves. When Graves says that he should be returning home to his wife, Major Bales insists that they take his car since it is pouring rain. Moyama lends his cape to Graves, who bitterly mentions that Moyama is still the enemy. On the car ride back, Major Bales disregards the directions and intensely questions Graves about a man called Alex Jarvis. He also interrogates him about his interest in Moyama’s research, convinced that Graves is lying or hiding something. Graves gets scared and threatens to report Major Bales for acting on his own, and it works. Major Bales finally takes him home and says that he will be closely watched.
