Golden Slumber Page #6

lf he just came out, he'd be

a sitting duck.

Anyway, Aoyagi has to be

where there are TV cameras.

And he can't get caught in

the meantime.

That's the plan.

But aren't manholes too heavy to lift?

Hell yeah.

Hey, come on,

This would be 60 kilos... if it was

the real thing.

Can't he just escape through this?

No, storm drains eventually

become too narrow.

All he can do is to go from

one manhole to another.

A hostage?

Who do you have?

Why complicate things?

lf l give myself up

you'll shoot to kill and the

case will be closed.

lf you come alone,

l'll hand myself over.

A double circle for ''Good.''

Don't you have to gag me?

Trust is a man's greatest strength.

Then you can take off the cuffs...

That might be taking things too far.

Right...

Everything l need.

Will Masaharu Aoyagi

really turn himself in?

We interrupt momentarily to show

you the police in action.

The sniper squad,

They won't shoot him,

lt would be a public execution

if they did.

They have tranquilizer guns.

lt'll be public anesthesia.

Tranquilizer guns?

That's new to me...

They've just started using them.

Aoyagi might have thought he'd

be safe with people around.

But he was wrong,

We'll have full coverage of

the suspect turning himself in.

Exclusive on the KHB News.

Stay tuned and you'll see it

right here.

Mommy's got to go.

Haruko Higuchi?

Who are you?

Hello?

ls that Yaji-yaji-yaji Yajima?

Speaking,

Everything is on schedule.

Ready for my TV appearance?

Sure thing. Go for it,

lt's our live exclusive,

He's here,

lt's Aoyagi.

How did you get here?

l am Masaharu Aoyagi.

l didn't do it.

What are you doing there,

We've got to run,

Wait, l didn't do anything...

Hey, get off,

Haruko,

Yesterday at noon

l met my old friend Morita

after he'd contacted me.

We were supposed to go fishing.

But then Morita revealed

what he'd got me there for.

l was to be used like

Lee Harvey Oswald.

You know...

Oswald was

framed as the prime suspect

in the JFKkilling.

One... Two...

Three!

l was approached by a woman

whose hobby was RC helicopters.

And she...

What's going on...?

Hello?

Are you there, Yajima?

We can't get the studio?

Switch cameras.

What is this?

Everybody together now,

Go...

Aoyagi-yah...,

Holy sh*t,

Way to go, Todoroki-yah,

''Todoroki Pyrotechniques''

Men, assemble,

l found him. He's down here.

Send men round to all

the manholes,

Was he the real one?

Was he really...

Masaharu Aoyagi?

We made it just in time.

What's wrong?

We covered all possibilities.

The manhole on the stage is a dummy.

lf things got out of hand,

jump in there.

But how...?

Good question.

lf you open the manhole on the stage

the police would surely open fire.

But...

That's when fireworks will go off.

There'll be big distracting kabooms.

Then you can escape.

That's their plan.

Who are they?

You have many creative friends.

Get out ofthere by heading west.

lt will lead you to Hirose River.

Listen, Aoyagi.

Run.

lf you have to, crawl your way

out of here.

Escape at all costs.

Stay alive.

As long as you're alive,

there's a way.

You'll be at Hirose River at daybreak.

l'll send someone to pick you up.

Pick me up?

Who will that be?

There's a women l know well

who's concerned about your misfortune.

You actually made it.

How have you been?

l owe you a favor.

l have a question.

Shoot.

You had a face job, didn't you?

l... l did not,

No way.

Latest on the prime minister

assassination.

A body found at Sendai Port

yesterday was

identified as the man who

killed the Prime Minister

the fugitive suspect, Masaharu Aoyagi.

Back in May, Aoyagi

assassinated Prime Minister Kaneda

in a parade.

He'd rigged a bomb to

an RC helicopter.

Two days later after a showdown

with police in the park

Aoyagi vanished without a trace.

Finding the suspect's body

brings closure to a crime

that shook the nation.

Prime Minister Ebisawa

expressed relief fromthe White House

where he's visiting.

How many times do l have to tell you?

Aoyagi really did threaten us.

He's right.

Then why didn't you ask the police

for protection?

Yeah, we must have been crazy,

lf you insist on hiding what you know

yourfactory may not be able

to continue operating.

That's terrible.

Sendai's fireworks wouldn't be

the same without us.

Just when my son decided to

join my business.

You can be honest with me.

Do you really think Aoyagi

killed the Prime Minister?

What?

The aubergine has a flower.

The aubergine has a flower.

The aubergine's blossomed, Dear,

l was getting the mail.

Don't disappear like that,

This one doesn't have the sender's

name on it.

More hate mail.

This whole thing has

toughened us up.

You were always tough.

No razor enclosed.

You're not exactly delicate

yourself.

l've decided not to worry.

What's wrong, Dear?

This mail shows some humor.

''Death to Gropers''

l'm home.

l'm back.

What's wrong?

l got a visit from a strange man.

He told me that you had an affair

with a hostess.

Aoyagi...

No, You know Aoyagi is dead.

-What? Who did you sleep with?

- That's rock alright,

Rock'n'roll...

Give me a beer,

Rock my ass,

You cheated on me,

We're here. Wake up.

lt's home, sweet home,

Who are you?

Have you been traveling across Japan?

How do you know that?

You lent out your apartment for

this motorcycle?

What do you want from me?

Well...

l thought you'd died long ago.

Thank God,

You are alive.

You're spooking me,

Hey, wake up.

This elevator is going down.

Nanami, hurry.

The elevator's come.

You can't swing that around here.

No, Daddy, don't let hertake it,

Sorry.

- Sorry.

- Behave yourself, Honey.

is going down.

Mom told me to stamp you with this.

Bye,
