7th floor.

This elevator is going down.

Nanami, hurry.
The elevator's here.

You can't swing that around here.

No, Daddy, don't let hertake it,

Sorry.

- Sorry.
- Behave yourself, Honey.

3rd floor,
going down.

Did l surprise you?

What?

That's what this serial killer says

as he stabs his victims.

l read it in a tabloid.

You read tabloids?

He's known as Kill-0.

That guy back in the elevator...

l was half expecting him to say,
''Did l surprise you?''

What's wrong?

Nanami?

Nanami.

lt's dangerous to wander off.

Alright,

When's Dad coming home?
The day aftertomorrow?

When you start eating peppers.

He doesn't have to come back then.

Poor Daddy...

''Serial Killer,
watch out forthis man,''

lt's been so long,
When did you come back to Sendai?

Last year.

What? How come?

You know, things happen.

Like what?

Well Aoyagi, you broke up with Haruko.

And you, Aoyagi...

You became famous when you
saved a pop idol. And you...

ls that my fault?

-Yes, it is.
-Well, sorry.

Are we fishing in the sea or river?
What do l need...

Where's yourfishing gear?

l give it an A minus.

How come?

lt's popular but not too crowded

and middle-aged men like us
blend into it's homely atmosphere.

You haven't changed.

Remember our
Food Culture Research Club?

Friendship through fast food.
l bet it didn't last.

Afterwe graduated

l heard that Kazu found 10 new
club members.

Keeping logs of fast-food joints
and menus...

Who would join such a club?

You were the enthusiastic one,

l was young and silly.

Nice car, when did you buy it?

Are we eating here?

The prawn's mine.

Are you here forthe Prime Minister?

The parade? No, l'm not interested.

l'm sorry,

What are you doing?

You can have this.

You've always eaten fries like that.

Some things never change.

Do you know what a man's strengths are?

No...

0ne is his habits.

And trust.

Habits and trust.

Golden Slumber

When pop idol Rinka returned to her
hometown in Sendai

a burglar broke into
her condominium.

Luckily she was rescued when
a young deliveryman came by.

Mr. Aoyagi knocked him down
with a leg sweep!

He saved my life! l don't know
howto thank him.

Any comments, Mr. Aoyagi?

Sorry but l have
packages to deliver.

You knocked the thief down with
a leg sweep. ls that judo?

A college friend taught me
that one technique!

Rock'n'roll!

Boy, l dozed off,

Did you put something in this?

Yep, l put a sedative in it.

l put it in the lid with a syringe.

ls that right.

lt's the Beatles...

The lullaby.

lt's Golden Slumbers from
Abbey Road.

lt's a song about the way
you once took home.

lt reminds me of the fun
we had in college.

When l hear get back homeward

l remember how we were
back in those days.

You're so sentimental,

Was it the major outer reap?

What's that?

When you threw the burglar...

l only know one judo technique.

l boasted to my kid that l'd taught
you that.

Your kid,

A kid? You have a child?

l married straight after college.
He's at elementary school.

0h, my God,

l moved to Tokyo...

and married my pregnant girlfriend.

She was an avid slot player.

She was addicted to it.

She took the kid there
everyday.

And before we knew it,
we were in debt.

l defaulted on my debt obligations.

What kind of bullshit law school
talk is that?

Morita, are you okay?

l hit rock bottom repaying the debts.
Then l got a call.

lt was a suspicious offer.

My debts would be cancelled if
l did what they asked.

What did they want?

My task was

to bring you to this cartoday.

And then l was to sedate you
until 12:30.

Who are they?

Aoyagi.

Has anything strange happened
to you recently?

No.

Have you met anybody recently?

No,

0h, yes...

l was at a manga-cafe the other day.

Hey, This computer doesn't work,
ls it my fault?

0r is somebody harassing me?

She sounds suspicious.

She doesn't,

She approached you.

Well, she did...

- Did she ask you to hand out fliers?
-What?

Rememberwhat we talked about
back in college?

The Beatles...?

0ne...

Two... Three and four,

- The major outer reap?
-No, damn it,

You don't have to yell.

Look behind us.

lt's Prime Minister Kaneda's parade.

l was told to get you here
behind the parade,

Aren't we fishing?

Listen, Aoyagi.

They'll make you

into a Lee Harvey 0swald.

0swald...? Who is he?

He's the one who was framed
as JFK's killer.

They made him hand out communist
fliers before the assassination.

Who's they?

Somebody in power.

They created this image of him
as an activist.

lt was just an image.

lt's all about image. How about you?

l didn't hand out fliers...

You saved that pop idol 2 years ago.

That made you an instant celebrity,
a hero.

0h, that...

l think...

the Prime Minister

will be assassinated in this parade.

So?

What's the punch line?

lt's your image, you see,

A man who posed as a hero

kills the Prime Minister.

-What's that?
-Aoyagi, you have to think,

- Think what?
- Don't be gullible,

Don't drink water offered to you.

When you're invited on a fishing trip
don't go and buy fishing gear,

See?

lt's a bomb.

There's one under us too.

l checked the carwhile
you were out cold.

This car's rigged.

lt's a bomb that even someone like me
can recognize.

-We'd better run...
-You run.

Come on, Morita.

l can't,

lf l run, my family will be
in danger.

Two policemen are approaching us.

The explosion was overthere
but they are coming this way.

Listen, Aoyagi.

Run.

lf you have to, crawl yourway
out of here.

Escape at all costs.

Stay alive.

As long as you're alive,
there's a way.

Aoyagi.

Did you do it?

With the pop idol?

Do what?

Freeze,

Morita.

Don't move,

What's this?

What's going on?

What's happening to me?

What's going on?

Hello?

Aoyagi?

Come to my place.

You should see the news.
lt's major!

Hi, Koume.

Koume?

Prime Minister Kaneda's homecoming
parade began at 12 noon.

The explosion occurred at 12:15.

There was a big explosion!

The area is covered with thick smoke.

The cause ofthe explosion
is not clear.

But we do get some idea from
the video.

Above the Prime Minister's
open top limousine

there's a suspicious
object hovering.

lt appears to be
an RC helicopter.

There is a possibility that
it was an act ofterrorism.

The Prime Minister's condition
is still unknown.

You want to try flying an
RC helicopter?. lt's fun!

She sounds suspicious.

The helicopter's operator
might still be in the area.

That's right.

Aoyagi, are you at my place now?.

Yes, l am.

But...

Where are you?

The latest on the bomb attack
on Prime Minister Kaneda.

At 1:40 pm, Prime Minister Kaneda
was pronounced dead.

The police must prevent
the perpetrator's escape.

For the next several hours
all public transportation

will stop temporarily...

ls the city of Sendai in a
state of siege?

How about the impact on
citizens'lives?

So you mean for the sake of
citizens

and uninterrupted business

we should let the perpetrator escape?

lfthat's what you're suggesting,
we'll consider it.

Can l watch TV on this?

Yes, with the tuner, you can.

The National Police Agency arrived
very quickly.

What's your point? lt's better
than not showing up.

Sendai Police have an announcement.

There was a bomb attack in Sendai...

All train services are temporarily
out of service.

Your cooperation is greatly
appreciated.

This is a police announcement.

Hey, Mr. Aoyagi!
lt's been a while!

What's with calling me Mister?

You're a grade above me...
So l should call you Mister.

Hello? Are you there?

The connection's bad.

Can l come over?
l know it's short notice...

Are you busy?

How have you been anyway,
Mr. Aoyagi!

What's with this ''Mister?''
ls that hip now?

Where are you, Mister Aoyagi?

- l'm nearthe park.
-Hey, what's up?

Give me a ride. The bus hasn't come
and l've got a blind date.

The bus services have stopped.

l'll call you later.

A blind date? What about me?

So the buses aren't running?

l don't know what's going on.
There are cops all over.

What's today? ls it Safe Driving Week?

No, there was a bomb attack
at noon...

A bomb attack? What do you mean?

The Prime Ministerwas hit.
Didn't you know?

What happened?

The Prime Minister exploded,

Shit, He exploded?

Where do you want to go?
Get in the car and tell us more.

Right, get in,

Aoyagi...

ls it okay?

Are you coming in?

Huh?

l mean, come in please.

Kazu...

Listen...

Morita has...

Aoyagi, did you do it?

Did you really do it?

No. 0f course l didn't do it.

0h, you didn't?

Who would pass on the chance of
sleeping with a pop idol?

0h, that...

Come on, l'm serious.

Everyone thought you were a hero,
All the girls wanted you.

The pop idol said she owed
you her life,

0kay, l did do it.

She told me to come to a hotel suite.
She wanted to thank me.

lt was a long night.

She screamed out, ''l'm dying,''

0h, my God... that's awesome.

l have to take this.

You can watch TV.

You're watching footage provided
by a viewer.

lt was captured on the surveillance
camera

at a book depository warehouse
near the bomb site.

Here, the suspect is
controlling the helicopter.

As he escapes in the elevator

his face can be clearly seen.

Everything ok?

Yeah... well sort of.

Was it your girlfriend?

Well... she said she was coming over.

l see, l'm on my way then.

Erm...

0n yourway out you'll find
a diner on your left.

Wait for me there.

0nce l explain things to her,
you can come back.

Don't worry.

No, it would be good to talk to
you after so long.

0kay, call me laterthen.

Sorry about this.

l don't know what l'm doing.

Here's your order,
Baked Chicken and Bacon Rice.

Use the pepper sauce if you like.

Uh, miss, can l sit
at that table overthere?

No problem.

Excuse me.

Erm...

You're the deliveryman,
l'm yourfan,

0h, my God, l knew it was you,

lt is you,

Can l have your autograph?

0kay, l'll do it overthere.

Thank you very much,

-Here you go.
- Please, go ahead.

Thank you.

This is great,

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Coming through,

Kazu, is she still there?

Masaharu Aoyagi.

Who are you?

l'm with the National Police Agency.

l know you're the perpetrator.

Aoyagi, You've got to get away!

They'll do anything...

What's going on?

What do you think?

You're hurting Kazu...

We wouldn't do that,

-Aoyagi!
- Kazu!

You've committed the most
heinous crime.

You've assassinated Japan's
prime minister.

lt's a national emergency.

ln situations like this,
things get a little rough.

Look what the Americans do.

How many civilians are killed in
the hunt for one terrorist leader?

This is not America.

Thank God it isn't, too.

But the fact remains

that you're him.

l didn't do it,

You did.

All criminals say they didn't do it.

Okay, l did it then.

Am l off the hook now?

There is a way to help yourfriend.

Turn yourself in to the nearest
authorities.

0ryou can come here.

Why would l?

You don't seem to understand.

Yes, l do. Morita told me.

Morita...?

0h, the man you killed.

Killed?

You put a bomb under his car.

You knowthat.

''lncoming - Mr. Aoyagi''

Where are you?

l'm leaving Sendai now.

l'm not coming to Kazu.

You're wasting your time there.

lt's the suspect.
He called from Kokubun Town.

He said he'd take a bus
but l doubt it.

Kazu...

l thought you were in Kokubun Town.

l received a call from your phone.

l traced it to Kokubun Town.

lt was your voice too.

But then l got a report
from our people.

We have extra cameras around
because of the serial killer

and you weren't seen on any of them.

lnstead

there was a drunk couple playing
with a cell phone and a device.

City under surveillance.

Tomorrow your photo will go public.

Because of your celebrity status,
it'll be a media event.

But l'm innocent.

Evidence keeps turning up.

We have an image of you at the shop
buying the helicopter.

l've never bought one,

A citizen gave us video footage of
you flying it by the river.

When you were on the roof...

l didn't do it,

...you were seen on a surveillance
camera. lt's clearly you.

lt's an imposter...

l was told to give you a
chance to turn yourself in.

''Police Box''

You are not cuffed.

Turn yourself in

before you're a wanted man.

We'll do everything to protect you

from any conceivable trouble.

For example...

We can get you sympathy by feeding
stories to the press.

So you manipulate the facts.

lt's all image.

lmages are manipulated.

lt's all about image.

You are drowning.

You'll sink faster if you resist.

ln desperation, you might
take the others with you.

But if you do as l say

you'll keep your head above water.

Don't worry.

Don't be afraid.

Don't worry.

You disappoint me.

That's a dummy handle.

That door can only be opened
from outside.

You didn't work alone...

Did l surprise you?

Freeze,

''Alleged Assassin''

A manhunt for
Masaharu Aoyagi has begun.

The 30-year-old deliveryman
is a Sendai resident.

He became an overnight celebrity
saving pop idol Rinka 2 years ago.

A burglar broke into Rinka's condo

when the suspect turned up
coincidentally.

The suspect...

A college friend taught me
that one technique!

Rock'n'roll!

He had a knife.
Weren't you scared?

''Sendai Delivery Services''

''Request a Pick-up''

''Select a date''

''Today''

''Unavailable''

''Tomorrow''

''Morning''

''Largest packaging''

''Request confirmed''

Did l surprise you?

Erm...

Thanks for... that.

lt's nothing.

l was afterthat guy with
the headphones.

He almost killed me once.
l wanted revenge.

But l missed him again,

Who are you anyway?

You're the assassin,

Can l shake your hand?

lt wasn't me.

l didn't do it.

lf you leave your cell phone on,
they'll find you.

lf you want to hide,
you'd betterthrow it away.

l already have.

Very clever.

You can assume that your calls
are bugged.

''Serial Killer Wanted,''

There's no similarity.

-No, there isn't.
-Hell no,

Kill-0 is youngerwith bigger eyes and
a widerforehead.

So... you really are Kill-0?

Did l surprise you?

ls this your place?

No way.

lt's theirs.

You think l killed a man
with a son?

No...

lt was their dream to go on a
motorcycle trip.

So l brought them a motorcycle
with a sidecar.

l wonderwhat part ofJapan
they are in now.

Many of you may remember this face.

Suspect Aoyagi rescued a pop idol
2 years ago...

0h, that was you,

l knew l'd seen you somewhere,

l see... this is a
well written scenario.

lt's a bull's eye,

People love a handsome hero falling
from grace.

Unpredictably the criminal is your
average man, This is big.

He saved my life, l don't know
how to thank him.

Thank him? ls that all?

-Anything else?
- l'm just so greatful.

Eat while it's hot.

Yeah.

Do you think l drugged it?

No...

No American influence!

No Cabinet establishment!

Every time he made
controversial remarks

Secretary Ebisawa had to deal with
the media backlash.

We all thought Ebisawa was to be
the prime minister.

ln this emergency

Ebisawa is the most likely
replacement.

Maybe l did spike yourfood.

The only source of strength
left for me

is to trust people.

You look sleepy.

lt's a golden slumber...

Golden Slumbers...

A Beatles hit.

Slumber means sleepy...

Sorry but l did spike the noodles.

You did?

You'd better rest, Aoyagi.

Rejuvenate. Life as a fugitive
is tough.

Here.

This cell phone belonged to
a man

whose body hasn't been found yet.
You can use it.

Body...?

Change your clothes too.
You are so conspicious.

Take this, too. Just in case.

See you again.

l'll call you if something
occurs to me.

Where is it?

0verthere,

Hurry.

The door's unlocked.

Whose car is this?

l don't know.

Dry yourself.

Whose are they?

l don't know but...

lt's not old.

No, lt's disgusting,

But you'll catch a cold.
l think they're Kazu's.

ls this Kazu's car?

No, it isn't...

The heater doesn't work.

l think the battery has to
be replaced.

Really?

Really.

lf you're alone, that's alright.

With two of you,
it's alright too.

What's that?

The jingle forthis car.

lfthere's three of you,
no complaints.

With five of you, it's even better.

lt makes you a bit happier,
Toyota Corolla!

- Say, Haruko.
-Yeah?

l've been meaning to ask you...

Do you want to go out with me?

Where? Shopping?

No, that's not what l mean.

You're too slow,

What's taken you so long?

l guess this isn't good zoo weather.

Why?

The animals won't come out of
their cages.

Really?

The monkeys l want to see are
under cover.

Which monkeys?

What are they...?

They're black and white.

Beautiful fur...

Aby... something.
Something Columbus...

Columbus?

What was it?

Aby... Aby...

-Abby Road.
-Wrong.

- Did you remember it?
-Yes, l did.

About this car.

l overheard Kazu whispering
about it.

''When you don't have cash
for a love hotel...''

Kazu always calls you Mr. Aoyagi
when he's hiding something.

- 0h, does he?
-He does.

He said, ''Use it wheneveryou
need to, Mr. Aoyagi.''

Was he talking about this car?

Am l right?

ls this your emergency love hotel?

Did somebody use the towel
forthat purpose?

No, no. l'm sure that's new.

Kazu said he leaves new ones
forthe next guy.

The next guy?

No, That's gross,

The Prime Minister and his wife slowly
approach the crowd in their car.

Can you see them waving to the
excited onlookers?

Here on Jozenji Avenue in Sendai,
the City of Woods...

Can you see the Prime Minister?

No.

There was a big explosion!

The area is covered with thick smoke.

Step back, it's dangerous!

Prime Minister Kaneda's parade
started at 12 noon.

The explosion occured at 12:15.

There was a big explosion!

Would you come home if something
happened to us?

Of course l would.

Well, can't you just pretend something
happened to us?

No, l can't leave now.
See you in 2 days.

0kay, see you then.

Was it Daddy?

He'll come home when you
start eating cucumbers.

He doesn't have to come back then.

Poor daddy,

This is the suspect.

Aoyagi is known for rescuing a pop
idol from a burglar 2 years ago.

With us is a reporter who interviewed
him at the time.

Aoyagi...

He gave the impression of being
a clean-cut nice guy.

l recall his hostile stare
he occasionally had.

What are you up to?

''Calling Shingo Morita''

The number you dialed is out
of service range.

Let's look into the past
ofthis criminal mastermind.

Who is this man?

What's he done wrong?

What's your guess?

He's doesn't look bad.

He's handsome.

l think l like him.

You're my daughter.

''Calling Kazu 0no''

Hello?

Sorry, wrong number.

Are you Haruko Higuchi?

Uh, yes...

Weren't Kazu and you in the same
club at college?

Who is this man?

My college friend.

Kazu 0no is my mother's boyfriend.

He was conscious when you found him?

Just barely.

He said something about Aoyagi.

and the police, too.

He said ''they got me''

and ''Aoyagi saved me.''

He always boasted about being
Aoyagi's friend.

He kept telling me how
famous he was.

He told me, too.

Do you know Mr. 0no?

We're with the National Police Agency.

How do you know him?

We were in the same college club.

The Food Culture Research Club.

Uh... that's right.

We're doing our best to apprehend
Aoyagi.

Could you give me your number please?

My phone number?

Aoyagi might try to reach you.

lf he did, we'd be able to trace
his call.

You want to bug her cell phone?

By detaining a suspicious caller
for 30 seconds, we can find him.

What proof do you have that
Aoyagi is guilty?

Don't you watch the news?

He was filmed buying a
radio-controlled helicopter.

Many witnesses saw him escape
the scene.

He shot his gun in a diner.

He also shot an officerwho's
now in a coma.

This was videotaped 3 days
before the assassination.

This helicopter is just like
the one the perpetrator used.

Looks like he's been cornered.

No, he's just got started.

A delivery guy who becomes an
amateur hit man won't last.

Are there pro and amateur killers?

Well, being from the underworld
l know what l'd do.

l'd go underground.

ln tunnels?

Listen, Tanaka. Every city has an
underground water system.

To be precise there is a network
of storm drains

and then there's sewage.

The suspect, Masaharu Aoyagi

had a part-time job

at a place called
Todoroki Pyrotechniques.

He was a college student at the time.

''Pyrotechniques'' refers to
commercial fireworks.

He may have learnt about
explosives at this time.

Nobody touches my explosives,

lt would have been easy to smuggle
out some black powder...

lmpossible,

Even an ant couldn't get past our
security.

l'm a pro.

lt's impossible.
Don't waste yourtime.

That's huge,

ls that a sewage pipe?

The big tube's for large shells.

lt's forthe grand finale,

l thought

you ignited fireworks with
a lit match

in a tube and ran before it went
kaboom,

No, it's computer controlled.

You know how to use computers?

Hey, fireworks used to be
a pastime for aristocrats.

lt's cutting edge technology.

So computers don't scare me.

0ne finger,

Look at you type,

How about you, Aoyagi?
You're the same with switches.

He is, lt's like Thumbs up,

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Enjoy the fireworks.

What's up with him?

lt's his son.

The one who's in Tokyo?

Looks like he's decided to
stay on there.

l knew this place has closed,

lwasaki.

What are you doing, Aoyagi?

l'm here for a pick-up.

lt's for me.
l ordered it online.

What the...?

You're in deep shit, you know?

Yes, l know.

l know it wasn't you.

You're not the type to do that
kind of thing.

Why are you crying?

You're the only one who seems
to believe me...

What do you want me to deliver?

ls everything ok at the company?
Who's covering for me?

Aoyagi.

This is no time to worry about
yourwork.

l'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

l owe you one, you know.

-You do...?
-Yeah.

Back when you were famous

l told this hostess

that l was your mentor at work.

By dropping your name l got laid.

lwasaki.

Delivering something?

Hey, President, use the stairs.
lt'll keep you slimmer.

Wait a minute... lwasaki.
What are you here for, a delivery?

A pick-up.
l was called here to pick this up.

But all the othertenants
have moved out of here.

Are your ready?

1, 2, 3, go,

Thanks, man.

Now...

Which way, north or south?

North please.

Rock'n'roll.

ls it?

Aoyagi.

Yes.

Tell me.

Did you sleep with her?

ls that all people care about?

l'm dying,

l'm dying,

Don't kill me,

So cosmetic surgeons really
perform miracles,

That's right.

Not that l've ever had any done.

Never.

There's a really good surgeon
in Sendai.

So they say...

The other day, he did some work for
aHollywood star...

He made over another guy to
look like the star.

So he could evade the paparazzi.

Do they look the same?

lf the bone structure is similar,
it can be done.

The clerk says that the suspect was
inquisitive.

The crime happened in Sendai so we
must solve it.

The lines are open, if you have seen
Masaharu Aoyagi please get in touch.

Producer Yajima speaking.

Many callers claim to be Masaharu
Aoyagi...

They're just looking for notoriety.

You're the first to say that you
were framed.

Well, l didn't do it.

Can you prove who you really are?

lf l can, will you announce my
innocence on TV?

First we'll have to verify if
it's true.

lt won't go to air if
it's untrue.

They say l'm the suspect on TV
without proof,

l don't follow you, sir.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello!

You know, the thing about
rock'n'roll is that it's simple.

You play the guitar.

Da-da-dan, With a single cord.

- l see.
-Just like rock'n'roll, l'll keep this simple.

l'm handing you over

to the authorities.

lt should arrive any minute.

The truck's here,

Don't worry, l'll open it,

You, get him,

l'll stab him,

Don't shoot, He'll stab me.

Drop it, Aoyagi.

You can't run.

Keep away,

You can't run.

Keep away,

You, don't shoot,

We trained here.

l remember.

Cars can't get through here.

Run to the back.

The fence behind apartment 10
has a hole in it.

l'm sorry...

No need to apologise.

l got laid thanks to you.

l'll tell yourwife.

Go ahead if you manage to resolve
things.

- They'll shoot us...
- They won't.

People have too much free time.

They're recording you,

Now go,

Hey, He's getting away,

Stop him,

Don't be tight-assed.

What's that thing?

Can l have half of this?

Somebody gave it to me at work.
Go ahead.

Listen...

Maybe we should seperate.

What?

Just now when you split the
chocolate in half...

You checked which was bigger...

And then gave me the bigger half.

l guess l did.

Here.

That's the way l like it.
No fussing.

You'd leave me forthat...?

l know it doesn't make sense.

But l've given it some thought.

We've become too used to
each other.

Wait a minute...

You know the insight of those words
were so timely.

What the Sea-man said.

''Don't be tight-assed...''

lt's about us, Aoyagi.
