Golden Slumber Page #4

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.

Wait a minute... lwasaki.

What are you here for, a delivery?

A pick-up.

But all the othertenants

Are your ready?

Thanks, man.

Which way, north or south?

North please.

Aoyagi.

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.

We have newfootage to show you.

This happened about an hour ago.

A viewer filmed it on his

cell phone.

This happened about an hour ago.

the suspect was cornered by police

at the Kamo housing complex.

He then resorted to taking his

colleague hostage.

and escaped.

The video caught the very moment

of his escape.

The surveillance cameras

also caught him

frantically running away from

the police blockade.

This is good! Very well recorded.

l can see he's a good

deliveryman.

Look at his precise footwork!

He's a mover.

But as long as he's on foot

l guess he won't leave Sendai.

Not with the blockades.

Right.

Next, the weather.

lt's time for

the KHB weather report.

Look at this beautiful white monkey!

lt's a baby Abyssinian Colobus,

born at Yagiyama Zoo.

Adult Abyssinian Colobus monkeys

have black and white fur.

Mom, we never go to the zoo anymore.

The baby is white all over.

How cute it is!

lt's still too young to be

shown to the public.

With these cute animals behind me,

here's the weather...

Welcome to Autobacs,

- Excuse me.

-Yes?

l'm looking for a car battery.

Which model?

Model...? lt's just a car.

ls it a compact car?

Maybe it's not that small...

Do you need to know the model?

There are many different kinds

of cars.

lf you're alone, that's alright.

With two of you,

that's alright too.

lfthere's three of you,

no complaints.

With five of you, it's even better.

lt makes you a bit happier,

Toyota Corolla!

lt's right overthere.

l got it,

Can you tell me how to install it?

Why do we need this at the zoo?

Why do you think we're going

to the zoo?

Alright, there you go.

Where are you off to?

Do l have to answer?

lt'd be very helpful if you complied.

Who's that scary man?

There's a much scarierterrorist

at large.

Mom, l have to pee.

What?

Let's go overthere.

Do you mind?

lt is against the law.

This is an emergency.

lt's an emergency,

Watch your step.

Go first.

Can you get through?

Ms. Higuchi, what's in the bag?

Personal items, you know toiletries.

lt's an emergency,

Did l surprise you?

l thought not.

''l didn't do it, Masaharu Aoyagi''

Did yourteacher mark your

schoolwork with circles?

lf it had petals it was ''Excellent.''

''Good'' was just a circle.

lf we went on like this...

the best we'd get would be

''Good.''

Don't be so depressed.

You look so down and out.

Don't look around like that,

The carworks now.

Afteryou left, somebody else

turned up.

Now it has a new battery so

it should start.

l think so, anyway.

Who would have done that?

l'm not sure. l guess it was

someone you know.

But that kid really should be

kept out of this.

A kid?

Get in the car.

Shiro-yagi, the white goat

sent a letter

Kuro-yagi, the black goat

ate it without reading it

So the black goat had to write

to the white goat

''Please tell me

what was your letter about?''

Ao-yagi, the scapegoat

sent a letter...

Start...

Start,

Morita...

l got the carto start...

ls that something to cry about?

''l didn't do it, Masaharu Aoyagi.''

''l knew you didn't.''

Todoroki-yah,

Morita-yah,

Higuchi-yah,

Aoyagi-yah,

Fireworks can be seen in

many places.

You're watching them here.

Maybe a long lost friend is

watching them somewhere else.

That's a nice thought, isn't it?

Yes.

Yourfriend might even be thinking

the same thing as you.

The same thing?

Usually the same things

trigger shared memories.

Yourfriend might remember

the same thing as you.

Maybe your son is watching too.

Enough chat, Now forthe big shell,

All together now,

Todoroki-yah,

Hello?

That car really sticks out!
