Golden Slumber Page #5

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.

Watch out for the blockades.

What else?

l have an idea

that might help you.

Let's find the imposter.

l bet he's had cosmetic surgery,

Right. There's a great

surgeon in Sendai.

l knew it.

How will we find him?

l've found him.

He's at the Sendai Medical Center.

Do you know it?

Who do you think l am?

The Prime Minister killer.

No, a deliveryman.

lt's such a good idea,

Access to a hospital is minimal

and it's monitored.

There's food too so it's

the ideal hideout.

Who's your informer?

The man who did the imposter's

face job.

You know the surgeon?

Yes, he did my face too.

Why else would l have this

huge forehead?

He's overthere.

Maybe this is a trap.

You're sharp,

Very good, Aoyagi.

The people who are afteryou

were prepared forthe possibility

that you'd come here.

Prepared...?

They leaked the information

about where the imposter is.

But it turned out to be a setup.

l have to apologize to you.

l was given the wrong information.

He jumped at me when l turned back

the cover.

So naturally l reacted.

-Who's doing this...?

- Me, it was me,

Don't go lecturing me either,

Not you,

The ones who framed me

and harmed my friends.

Even people who are unrelated

are being killed.

Who are they...?

Who are the ones behind

this plot?

You're up against some

powerful people, Aoyagi.

Maybe

it's safe to call them

the Authorities.

The smartest thing foryou to do

is to run.

ls that all?

Whoops, sorry.

lt looks like l'm out of time.

l helped you out on impulse,

that was my downfall.

Why didn't you tell me?

lt's yourfault, Aoyagi.

You're the killer,

You're right...

Hello.

ls this Miura's cell phone?

ls his name Miura?

He can't speak at the moment.

And is this...

the fugitive himself?.

And you're the plastic surgeon?

Can you give Miura a message?

The information was wrong.

There's no imposter in the hospital.

You went to the hospital...

l'm very sorry.

What will you do now?.

All l can do is run.

How...?

-Watch out,

- Sorry,

l'm sorry.

-Here.

-Young fella.

You're cornered.

ls it that bad?

l know you're doing your best.

lf you get caught, make sure

it's in public.

Where there are crowds

and TV cameras.

That way you get to see it on TV,

No, so that the police

can't shoot you.

Afterthey frame you

they'll shoot you if they

get the chance.

lt shuts you up and

the case is closed.

l have connections with the

underground...

if you know what l mean.

To be precise the sewer has two pipes.

And the other one's for sewerage.

lf it's a fine day,

use the storm drains.

ln some places, they're big enough

to walk through.

Call me, ok?

Young fella.

lf you think you'd rather die

than get caught

it's no good.

Death is no escape.

Haruko,

lt's been so long.

l had a dream...

What about?

The fireworks.

Remember?

They were incredible.

They went kaboom above us,

The sound distracted me

so l missed out on seeing you kiss

Aoyagi forthe first time.

The big kaboom,

The sound made us all look up...

And... what happened?

Did you two kiss?

Yes, Mom. Did you kiss Aoyagi?

Nothing gets by you, Nanami.

ls she your girl?

ls that right...

Really...

You've had a hard time...

lt's been much worse for Aoyagi.

The news is all lies,

l heard about it from my girlfriend.

He's still on the run, right?

lt all started when l effectively

sold-out Aoyagi to the police...

The police called me.

They said to call them

when Aoyagi contacted me.

Right afterthe assassination.

That's fast...

lt sure was.

They said they'd be checking my

calls for a while.

l guess they bugged my phone...

They did the same with me.

Straight afterthe police hung up,

Aoyagi called.

Talk about bad timing...

l knew the police were listening so

l panicked.

Even worse, Aoyagi came over,

l couldn't think straight any more.

Aoyagi left that in my apartment.

The Beatles.

lt's Golden Slumbers.

l know what the song is about now.

We knew how to get back home once...

Now we all got older and...

The Beatles kept making masterpieces

until the very end.

Even if they hated each other.

Did Paul put together The Medley?

That's right.

The others went home but he

stayed in a 4-tatami-mat room alone

putting songs together.

lt wasn't a 4-tatami-mat room.

lt's just what l imagined.

What was Paul thinking then...?

l guess

he wanted things to be how they'd been.

He wanted them back together again.

Suspect Masaharu Aoyagi, age 30.

He's 175 cm, of medium build,

and was wearing...

''0fficer Yasuo Kojima''

Sorry, 0fficer Kojima

but l'm not a killer.

The suspect must be tired

and desperate.

He might resort to

something drastic.

Something drastic...

The police are using a decoy

who looks like me.

He's had plastic surgery.

That's who you've seen on TV.

l know it sounds unbelievable.

Here comes the suspect's father.

Father! Father!

Shut up!

Don't call me that!

You're not my children!

Do you feel responsible as

the father?.

Can you give me your name?

The police have officially named

your son as the perpetrator.

Do you know anything about my son?

l've known him since he came to

this world, butt naked.

My wife has known him since

conception!

His first steps, first words...

l've seen it all!

l know everything about him.

You want to trust your son...

lt's not about what l want.

l know him!

He didn't do it.

Wait a minute, sir...!

Put the camera on me.

l want to say something.

Everybody, be quiet!

Listen, Masaharu!

While you are hiding

things are getting out of hand.

You hear me?

Totally out of control, sir!

He called me sir...

Anyhow

we can take care of ourselves.

Your mother's doing so-so.

So you take care of yourself!.

Be quiet!

Masaharu, you know what to do.

Get out of here!

What are you saying?

Are you hiding something?

Why are you crying...?

My father is a regular

office clerk.

But he hates those gropers

on the trains.

Boy, he hates them,

When he saw a man touching a girl

on the train, he beat him up.

l remember once l had some

caligraphy homework.

The First Sunrise.

Dad made me write,

Death to Gropers.

Make sure you keep your calls

under 30 seconds.

l'm just talking to myself.

Yaji-yaji-yaji Yajima

speaking,

ldentify yourself!.

You reporters

could ruin a man's life!

Do you accept responsibility?

Mr. Aoyagi!

He's impossible.

No sense of parental responsibility.

Sorry to have bothered you.

l was telling him about you, Mom.

So you know the suspect.

l heard him...

This old man...

Don't call me old,

...This old man was calling Aoyagi

on his phone.

You talk too much...

That's right.

This is a secret.

l knew him from college, that's all.

l know him too.

You're his old friend but

l'm a new one.

What do you mean?

He's going to take a big gamble.

lf he's innocent he should

just give himself up.

lt would be betterto come forward...

And then what?

What would happen then?

The police won't shoot you

without reason.

They would,
