Later, Finn arrives at the World Grand Prix opening ceremony in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]], where he meets with a local desk agent, [[Holley Shiftwell]].

Privately discussing Finn's findings in an elevator, Holley explains that the found oil platform is sitting atop the largest oil field ever discovered. The Americans already knew about this situation, having sent their own agent, Rod Redline, in under deep cover. Redline managed to photograph the lemon kingpin, and Finn is there to rendezvous with him and obtain the image. But, noticing Professor Zündapp and his henchmen in the crowd, Finn realizes the risk and sends Holley instead. Before she arrives, some Lemons attack Redline, leaving him no choice but to plant the classified information device on the innocent [[Mater]]. As Finn and Holley are tracking the device to identify the agent, they believe Mater to be the American spy, and make plans to meet with him next day during the first race of the World Grand Prix. | ||

During the race, Finn and Holley watch Mater from inside a building, and are surprised when they see him in [[Lightning McQueen]]'s pit. Though unusual by spy standards, Finn believes this to be Mater's cover, and waits patiently for Mater to make contact. When Holley's onboard computer reveals several thugs closing in on Mater, Finn immediately springs into action, fighting them off in the back streets of Tokyo. Holley hacks into Mater's headset and informs him to leave, though Mater innocently does the opposite, moving into Finn's fray with the assassins, which he believes to be a "live karate demonstration". With the henchman defeated, Finn delicately vanishes, and they postpone the meeting with Mater. | During the race, Finn and Holley watch Mater from inside a building, and are surprised when they see him in [[Lightning McQueen]]'s pit.

The next day, Finn finds Mater at [[Haneda Airport]] and, disguised as a security guard, the spy leads Mater into a lounge, where he inquires which American intelligence agency he is affiliated with. Mater claims to be "triple-A affiliated", and while he is babbling about karate, Finn recognizes Grem and Acer moving towards them. Thinking quickly, Finn cuts a hole in a nearby window and pulls Mater through. They speed down the airport runway toward [[Siddeley]], Finn's personal spy jet, while Finn shoots at the pursuing attackers. Oblivious to the danger around him, Finn takes lead and the two jump aboard Siddeley as he takes off. The device is fortunately still on Mater's undercarriage, so they and Holley analyze the photo, which depicts the unidentified kingpin's engine, a hodge-podge of rare and unusual parts.

Though Mater is still unaware of the situation's gravitas, he does prove valuable by using his extensive mechanical knowledge to identify specificities that Finn and Holley would have otherwise ignored. | ||
