James Black leaves a show and returns to his car. Before he can get in, two men stop him. They say they are police officers and ask whether the car is his. James tells them it is a rental.

Man 1:
「これ、盗難車(とうなんしゃ)なんですよ…」
“This is a stolen car...”
James:
「Oh no!!」
“Oh no!!”
Man 2:
「一週間(いっしゅうかん)前(まえ)に盗難(とうなん)届(とど)けが出(だ)されてまして…」
“A theft report was filed a week ago...”
