Golden Slumber Page #3

Synopsis: When easy-going Aoyagi meets an old friend for a fishing trip, he ends up drugged, framed for the Prime Minister's assassination, and on the run from corrupt cops. It's only the beginning of what quickly becomes the worst, weirdest day of his life. But he'll get by with a little help from his friends, who include a famous pop diva, a rockabilly deliveryman, a crippled old gangster, and the world's most cheerful serial killer. Among the many puzzles of this twisty, clever film is how Nakamura manages to sneak a genuinely moving tribute to friendship into the madcap procession of perilous events. No matter what befalls Aoyagi, his friends and parents believe in him because of his steadfast, almost irrational pleasantness.

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?

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.

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.

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 sh*t, you know?

Yes, l know.

l know it wasn't you.

You're not the type to do that
