Great Pretender

Makoto and his partner are con artists; when a scam on a tourist goes awry, Makoto is out of his depth in Los Angeles.

Dangling from the Hollywood sign, Makoto recalls his path from salesman to criminal; back on the ground, he learns more about "confidence men."

Makoto tells Laurent how he got into Eddie's good graces, with the LAPD monitoring the situation closely.

With construction underway on the laboratory, Makoto enjoys Los Angeles in the company of Eddie's enforcer, and Paula Dickins sets her sights on him.

Everyone watches Makoto make the first batch of Sakura Magic, but with Agent Dickins in his ear, things take a serious turn.

Two years later, Makoto gets an honest job as a mechanic, while Laurent and the crew come together for a job in Las Vegas.
