I don't know anything | about myself anymore!

Well...

How do you think you | know that person you were...

...a second ago is the | same person you are now?

A continuous stream of memories.

Given only that, we all create | illusions within ourselves...

...saying that we each have | only one fixed persona.

Doctor, I'm scared...

...that my other self will do | something that I don't know about...

It's all right. There is no way | illusions can come to life.

CUT!

Mima, what's wrong?

I'm sorry!

Oh, man! This rain sucks!

I think I'm going to catch a cold!

I'm sorry!

Wrap it up! Wrap it up!!

It's pouring really badly outside, | but your heart is always, like, sunny!

Well, I think we're ready today!

Welcome to Rei...

...and Yukiko's...

..."ldol Chamland"!

Mr. Tadokoro?

I'm sure they're on the air now.

I thought you'd like to see | them coz it's been a while.

We have a show this Sunday. | It's at lbaragi Sim City at 2pm.

- How have you been? | - People from all over, come see us!

-Just thought I'd drop by. | - We'll be waiting for you!

Chamland will be back next week | at the same time. Until then...

Two, three...

Bye bye!

Good show, guys.

Hey, it's Mima.

Mima!

Wait!

Who are you!?

I told you! I'M the real Mima.

In other news...

Today, the Economic Planning Agency | announced a "New Citizen's Life lndex"...

...that indicates the overall | Japanese standard of living and...

It feels like I haven't | seen you in a long time.

Well, I've been busy too.

So, are you getting used to acting?

Yeah.

It's hard, but I chose to do it.

You've matured quite a bit, Mima!

But it's good that people seem | to like the new Mima.

Yeah...

That doesn't look like | a face that's agreeing.

You know... Mima... | Has someone been harassing you?

I've been visiting that home page.

It's a bit much, even if it's a complaint | about how you changed your image...

It's better if you didn't look at it.

Yeah...

But maybe she is more | like me than myself.

Mima...?

My other self that I buried | deep within my heart.

What if...

What if that other personality | suddenly started acting on its own...?

It's all right. There is no | way illusions can come to life.

Rumi?

CUT!

Mima! What are you saying?

I feel like I'm gonna have | nightmares about this line!

I'm sorry!

What's wrong?

Uh, nothing...

Once more, from the top...

All right, Take 2!

In other news...

Today, the Economic Planning Agency | announced a "New Citizen's Life lndex"...

...that indicates the overall | Japanese standard of living and...

It's been a while, Rumi.

What? I was here yesterday, too!

Yesterday? Was that real?

You're weird, Mima.

Mima! What's wrong with you!?

You're bleeding!

This blood is real, isn't it?

Mima!

Today I went shopping in Harajuku. | I'm a sucker for sale items.

I guess... I went to Harajuku today...

You mean...

...the murderer is an | illusion she created?

Yes.

She fears an imaginary | security guard...

...and then doubles that figure with | the serial murderer of top models.

But illusions don't kill.

But... what if that illusion | found someone to possess?

Possess...??

Then... all those men | who got murdered...?

Were those who were no | longer of any use to her.

Find her quickly, Mr. Yamashiro.

Before another victim fall sprey.

How much?

You sure are a weird pizza man.

Stop! Please stop!

Yeah, that looks good... Come on, | be more daring! More passionate!

All right! Take three!

- Hello? | - Mima?

Are you all right over there?

You haven't heard yet... | about Mr. Murano?

Can't be...!

Police say that Murano | died of multiple stab wounds...

Mr. Murano!? Really!?

We're going crazy here!

Anyway, stay put until | I get there. All right!?

The weapon used in the latest murder | is said to closely resemble...

...the one used in last week's | killing of a popular screen writer.

Police are considering a personal | grudge as the motive...

...and are looking into connections | between the two cases.

Miss Kirigoe! Please, can we get your | opinion about the murder of Mr. Murano?

Do you know anything?

Isn't there a connection with the | killing of Mr. Shibuya the screenwriter?

Miss Kirigoe! | There are rumors of a love triangle...

...between you, Mr. Shibuya, | and Mr. Murano and we...

You think she's jinxed?

What happens twice happens thrice.

Let's take bets on who's next.

Cut it out!

Don't mind them.

Am I alive?

Maybe that truck hit me... | and this is all a dream...

Everyone ready?

OK. Mima!

Breathe harder than during rehearsal.

You've just killed someone.

Yes.

And... action!

Are you awake?

You are...?

Can you tell me your name?

Me? I'm Mima Kirigoe.

Okay. And what do you do?

I'm a pop idol... no, an actress.

That must be hard work.

It's hard, but it's what I chose to do.

She thinks she's a new young | actress named Mima Kirigoe.

Dissociative ldentity Disorder.

In other words, | "multiple personality syndrome."

All those crimes took place | when she was some other persona.

So where's the persona | of the original Yoko?

Yoko Takakura, the original persona...

...is nothing more than a character | in a drama for her.

Being a "normal" girl... | how she was raped in a strip club...

Everything happened as part | of her drama series.

By doing so, she salvaged her heart.

That's right. I'm an actress.

Cut!

Can you tell me your name?

Me? I'm Rika Takakura.

The original persona, | Yoko Takakura, no longer exists.

By killing, and later becoming, her sister | the top-model, she salvaged her heart.

That's right. I'm a model.

All right! That's the take!

We did it, Mima!

Mima... Good work!

I can tell you tried so hard!

Rumi...

As of this moment, | Double Bind is in the can!

Everyone, great job!

You were fantastic, Mima! | What do you think, Director?

She really was excellent.

Thanks a lot.

See you at the wrap-up party.

We'll be talking to you.

Then... shall we go as well?

Mima, go get changed.

Dr. Touko...

Hey now! I'm not Touko anymore! | Did you forget?

"There is no way illusions | can come to life."

You should stop dreaming soon.

Eri...?

What's taking Mima so long...?

I'm going back to the office. | Take Mima home, will ya?

Mr. Tadokoro. You were saying | something about Mima's next job?

Oh, it's great!

A starring role in a video movie.

There are a few sketchy scenes... | but what can you do?

Somebody help me!

Like anyone can hear | YOUR voice right now!

Who are you!?

Why are you doing this!?

I'm protecting my dear Mimarin!

But-But I'm Mima!

No, no, no, no, NO!

You didn't know I was Me-mania!

You're just PRETENDING to be Mimarin!

STOP!

NO! STOP!

Did you fool that screenwriter and that | photographer with this little mouth?

You tarnished Mimarin's name!

Can it be... that you...

The real Mimarin e-mails me every day!

And she says that you | keep getting in her way!

You killed them!?

And you'll die soon, too!

Bad girl!

You have to follow the script!

And now... TAKE 2!
