while the women are sleeping

Hey, kenji.

Hey.

Look over there.

Hmm?

Slowly turn around.

Check those two out.

They can't be father and daughter.

Who knows.

Jealous?

Yoo-hoo!

Can I get some as well?

Yeah.

Hey, that's cold!

Oh, sorry.

Aya.

Kyoko!

It's been so long!

Welcome.

Thank you very much.

Sit.

I still have to work,
please, sit down.

Thank you.

I heard you made
many arrangements for us.

No, not at all.

I read your novel.

Though it was a while ago.

Thank you.

It was in every bookstore.

My mother, she's very well-read.

She couldn't stop talking about it.

Are you writing your second?

I did, about five
or six years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll have to read it then.

He's actually working on his third.

That's amazing.

You are so talented.

But I don't expect any less
from aya's husband.

I'll send you a copy
when it's published.

Don't worry about it.

I'll buy it for myself.

But... could I get it signed?

Are you working already?

Not today. Tomorrow.

Do you have meetings?

No.

The author I'm working with
lives around here.

He's against a tight deadline
and he's 72.

Isn't that too harsh
for an old man?

He gets mad if I don't stop by.

A novelist husband
and an editor wife.

Ah, the glamorous life of
an urban couple.

Stop.

Rika came the other day
and we talked about you.

Me? What about?

Lots of things. Nothing bad.

I'll let you two catch up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No worries.

I hope you enjoy your week here.

Thank you.

Whats wrong?

What?

Hey. Just tell me.

Tell you what?

Did what I say to kyoko
bother you?

Not really.

Can you stop saying
"not really"?

You say it too.

Besides, I'm not even writing.

You will.

Who will?

You will.

- Will what?
- Write novels.

Why are you deciding for me?

Because you won't for yourself.

You can't just decide to write a novel.

That's not true.
Every writer has a deadline.

If they waited around for inspiration,

we wouldn't have
half as many writers.

You're not my editor, aya.

But... I'm not the one who
told you to get a job.

I know.

I make enough to raise a kid.

We don't have to talk about this again.

What would you do...

If I said I won't write anymore?

Nothing.

Oh, really.

Nothing.

You have talent.

So I'll always keep telling you
not to stop writing...

Until I die.

Sorry.

Not today.

Here, use this.

What?

Shall we go?

He likes to drink after work,
so I'll be late tonight.

Don't wait up.

Okay.

I don't need this.

Well, I'm off.

Off you go.

Don't smoke, okay?

Beautiful, isn't she?

Wow, you're all sweaty.
What happened?

Thank you.

I put her photo front and center.

Miki.

Miki?

Yep.

When was this taken?

Maybe 10 years ago.

10 years?

This area used to be
a huge tourist attraction.

That amusement park
had to limit admission.

Now look at this.

They used to come here
every year around summer.

They suddenly stopped
coming one year.

Who's this couple?

Her parents.

And this one?

No idea.

You interested?

Excuse me?

In those people.

Oh, not really.

Hey, you.

Yes?

Do you know the difference
between tights and stockings?

Huh?

Do you know the difference
between tights and stockings?

No.

You see,

even if they're both black,
they're two different things.

Tights are thick
and stockings are thin.

Sometimes, tights are thin too
but that doesn't make them stockings.

The unit of thickness
is denier, you know?

No.

You don't know denier?

There's actually a sexy denier.

They figured out the denier
that attracts men the most.

That's 40 to 60 denier.

It's pretty black from the front.
Well, it's black.

But when it bends like this,

it gets sheer. You see skin.

That's 40 to 60 denier.

Men are supposed to like that.

Why do you think men like that?

You kind of understand,
don't you?

You're totally confused.

It's strange. I know so much.

Your face is like, "why is this guy
so interested in this?"

No.

Yes it is.

You know...

When you ask someone
a strange question,

you ought to specify
why you're asking.

Don't you think?

Sorry.

Ma!

Why are your dentures out again?
Leave them in.

Seriously.

It's disgusting.
Don't leave them out.

Come again.

What's wrong? Come again.

Excuse me.

You must like rain.

Have you been here before?

Wait a second.
Why don't you sit down?

You like filming?

I can understand why.
Your daughter is beautiful.

She's not my daughter.

I've been taping her everyday
for about 10 years.

Wow. I don't even own a camera.

But 10 years would make
a lot of tapes, no?

I tape over them everyday.

You tape over them?

Every day?

Yes. Every day.

Why?

I want to have a record of her last day.

May we join?

Of course.

My wife.

Mr. Sahara.

I didn't know you've met.

We met by the pool.

I'll be right back.

How long are you staying?

A few more days.

Just like us, right?

Yeah.

I came here for work.

I am an editor and
my husband is a novelist.

I'm hardly around during the day.

I would love to relax more.

My husband seems
to be getting bored.

That's not true.

Besides, I'm not writing now.

Wow.

I used to be able to eat like that.

But my metabolism has
drastically changed.

I'm either sitting at
my computer,

or lying around at home.

I joined a gym
but stopped going.

Then you should have more sex.

Are you a student?

How long have you two
known each other?

Forever.

Since you were little?

Yes.

Since I was small...

He always tried to live just like me.

He tries to understand...

How I see the world.

You can see how much I adore her.

But I know one day...

Her betrayal will come.

It may have already come.

Come here.

Sit down.

Have you ever watched
an innocent young girl sleep?

You tape over them, right?

I keep the good ones.

You carry those around?

They're very important.

This is 14 years old.

This is 16.

18 years old.

This is most recent.

These...

Are they all the same?

Just sleeping?

She's slowly changing.

You wouldn't know unless
you're close to her.

I have to kill.

Kill?

I can't stand it.

1 would rather kill her...

Than allow my love to die.

Have you...

Considered dying first then?

That wouldn't be right.

You wouldn't understand.

You'll catch a cold.

I knew this would happen.

I'll come home early today.

The storm is a good
excuse to leave early.

Shall we go for dinner
before the storm?

Okay, 5pm at the station then.

You can use the hotel car, right?

Yeah.

Hey...

Have you seen my hat?

Your hat?

I wonder where it is.

It's not like you.

What's not?

You looking for something.

Right.
It's usually the other way around.

Do you need it?

Not today.

When were you wearing it last?

I'm not sure.

It'll show up eventually.

What?

Well, I'm off.

Have you ever watched
an innocent young girl sleep?

Have a good day.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just finished, so please.

Excuse me.

Okay. I'm coming.

I know.

It's all right.

I'll come alone.

Okay.

I understand.

Where are you going?

We made a promise.

Let me go.

Dinner with aya.
5:00 at station.

Sorry I'm late. Please...

Whats wrong?

Is there somewhere
you want to go?

Please go.

Did you guys have a fight?

Well, you're young.
You must be frustrated,

stuck in the same
place for days.

That guy, the one with you,
what does he do?

Can you tell me
where we should go?

Wait here.

Please go.

Pull over... here.

Were you dreaming?

Yes.

What kind of dream?

My head got cut off.

By a guillotine.

Let me tell you about dreams.

Right before you wake up,

your brain creates all these stories.

All it takes is the touch of cold metal.

Missed call

aya shimizu

You...

Want to kill me, don't you?

Do it, then.

Give me that.

Everybody assumes...

Razors are for cutting throats.

An unidentified woman
in her 20's was murdered...

Using a sharp object
this afternoon in izu city.

When the body was found,

the woman had bled out on her bed.

She was transported to a hospital,

but was already unconscious
and confirmed dead later.

Excuse me.

You know that couple...

The older man and the young girl?

What?

I'm worried about something.

What do you mean?

How long have they been staying here?

I am sorry...

I can't give out information
about other guests.

I'm sorry.

This is the 72-year-old author?

Iizuka, what a pseudo-hippie.

His place almost looks Jamaican.

But the curry there
is actually quite good.

What happened here?

You're such a mess.

Sorry about today.

I called you several times
from his place before leaving.

I'm sorry.

What were you doing?

Nothing.

Oh come on.

And you?

What do you mean?

What were you doing?

I was working.

What?

What are you trying to say?

Well,

I wouldn't be able to write
with my editor there all day.

Tell him, not me.

He asks you to come every day?

Not every day, but
he gets grumpy if I don't.

How annoying.

It's fine.

Well-mannered writers
aren't challenging.

You shouldn't be afraid to demand
what you want.

Hey, aya.

Yes?

I don't need you
to advise me on my work.

What were you doing with him?

What? With who?

Sahara.

Nothing.

Oh, come on.

We were just talking.

About what?

Do you always tell me everything?

We were talking about you.

Why did you have to
talk about me?

Mr. Sahara, he's quite something.

I didn't say anything, but it
seemed like he understood everything.

He's good at pretending he does.

You think so?

He told me that I'm not
being honest with you.

What does that mean?

What do you think it means?

He probably thinks
you're hiding something from me.

Like what?

Like a writer named hirano.

Speaking of which,

he followed me to hirano's today.

What?

Mr. Sahara.

That man is a scary person.

Let's not talk about him anymore.

What else
did you two talk about?

That you've been peeping in their room.

Thats...

Research.

I told him it's just research.

You were just researching
for your book, right?

Books, research...

All you're interested in is
being married to a famous writer.

Your books are brilliant.

Even your second.

But the problem is you hate yourself.

Don't take that out on me.

Father's little Princess can't have
what she wants for the first time.

I'm not hungry,
so have breakfast without me.

Sure.

I'll see you tonight.

Okay.

Mr. Sahara, he's quite something.

I didn't say anything, but it
seemed like he understood everything.

There was this shadow...

Excuse me, sorry to bother.

Are you Mr. shimizu?

Yes.

I'm ishihara. From the
izu police department.

May I ask you a few questions?

It will be quick.

Please go ahead.

Thank you.

Your vacation's over soon?

What?

About a week? Your vacation.

Sure, yes.

I'm so jealous.

I've never gotten even a
week off since I took this job.

Even if I did, I wouldn't
know what to do.

And look at this hotel.

It would stress me out to have a room
bigger than my apartment.

But I'm just common folk.

May I ask, are you
here with your wife?

Yes.

I see.

If you don't mind me asking,
what is your occupation?

I'm working for a company
starting this fall.

From this fall?

Are you changing jobs?

Does it matter?

Oh, sorry. Occupational habit.
I drag things out too much.

Well, Mr. shimizu.

I did a little search of
your name on the Internet.

So you're a novelist.

I haven't published enough
to be called one.

Please.

You've won quite an award.

What's it called...

Akutagawa, no, that's not it.

I don't know about these things
but it's a big deal.

I don't read, but even
I've heard of the title.

As a novelist, are you always
observing your surroundings

to incorporate into your ideas?

Sometimes.

Are you still going to write?

Well, perhaps.

There's only a handful of novelists
who can make a living out of it.

Most have other jobs.

Is that so?

No job is easy, I guess.

Um...

So sorry.

You see...

You know Mr. Sahara, right?

The man here with a young woman.

Yes.

I heard you knew him from an employee.
Your wifes friend.

Oh.

Care for one?

No.

Don't mind if I do.

The young woman he's with...

She's missing.

Mr. Sahara reported it.

90 percent of these are
just lovers fighting.

But occasionally
it can be a real crime.

So we can't afford
not to do anything.

I don't know what to tell you.

I know.

My experience tells me that
you're probably not involved.

But it's our job to examine everyone
with any connection.

So I've been talking to
people here and there.

I mean the people in this hotel.

One thing came up.

A cleaning lady told me that she
saw you in Sahara's room.

In fact I was just talking to her.

They usually check your key
when they bump into guests.

But she just greeted you
because you looked so unassuming.

She was quite disturbed about it.

No, that's...

I totally sympathise with her.

You really don't look
like one to trespass.

Well, that's...

Of course, I heard
what happened after.

Mr. Sahara told me this.

When he returned to the room...

You were already inside.

That's what he said?

That's not true.

Please believe me.

Mr. shimizu,

I always wonder...

Why do people who have
something to hide always say,

"it's true. Please believe me."

People telling the truth
don't say things like that.

Please...

Work that into your next novel.

- Would you turn the monitor to us?
- Certainly.

Please show us the camera
over Sahara's room.

Yes, sir.

Just remember.

Someone is always watching.

I like the scent of the girl.

Especially her lingering scent.

Shall we go?

Here's a message for you,
Mr. shimizu.

Thanks.

Have a good day, sir.

Meet me at izuka at 5:30pm. Wiki

Sorry, we're not open yet.

Oh, it's you.

Can you put that over here?

Excuse me...

How much longer are you here?

Until tomorrow.

That's nice.

When my mom was healthy
I used to travel a lot.

You ever been to Africa?

You know those prides of lions?

I hear there's always one lion
who gets all the girls.

So, that lion king,
he bangs all the female lions.

But there are sometimes ugly females.

And those female ones...

They let the unpopular
male lions bang them.

My parents are definitely that type.

My dad...

He was short, bald and broke.

But when coffee was
still rare in Japan,

he poured my ma
a cup of coffee and said this:

"Bitterness is a sorrow"
or something like that.

Lion king, huh?

So interesting.

I wanted to see Africa before I die.

So, what is it?

This girl, the one who used to come
every year. Did she come?

That girl?

Did she come? Where?

Here.

Here? You mean, here?

Yes.

Are you a detective or something?

You don't have a policeman's face.

No.

I know her. She asked me
to meet her here at 5:30.

What do you want?

Just tell me.

I'm looking for her.

She must be some girl
with all you people looking for her.

Her parents came looking
for her many times.

She took off with a man.

Did she run away voluntarily?

How should I know.

You know her. Ask her in person.

Sorry.

Hey, come on.

I might have some more photos.

Do you want to come look?

Upstairs.

Go on.

Come on.

Hey.

Did you know that male
calico cats are endangered?

So people are trying to
breed them.

So these male cats get to
eat and fuck all day.

They get more and more stupid.

In front of the female cats,

or even when they sleep,
their tongues just hang out.

Like an imbecile prince
in a period piece.

So you know, men...

When you make things too easy,
they become idiots.

But, man...

How could her parents have expected...

Their best friend to betray them.

Best friend?

You really can't trust anyone.

That man and her parents were best friends?

Mr. best friend just came to pick up a hat.

But you know, men always
say they want to settle down.

It must just be male behavior

to pursue troublesome women.

You...

Kind of look like him.

Aya!

Aya!

Whats wrong?

Excuse me, I need to go.

Where?

To my wife, she's waiting.

Why do you have to rush?

I want to talk. It won't be long.

Come, let's go to the pool.

It'll be quick.

Let's go.

There was nothing I could do
about her changing.

Maybe change is a good thing.

We made a promise.

But she...

She betrayed me.

What have you done to her?

What is your wife doing now?

What is that supposed to mean?

Did you find the hat?

What are you saying?

Aya?

Here's an ice tea, madam.

Very impressive.

Thank you.

This book wasn't for our company.
You shouldn't have.

You have nothing to worry about.

But next time, publish with us so
your wife gets some credit.

He's not the best
with these matters.

Just a little?

No, no she shouldn't.

I'll just have this.

An evening of double celebration.

First, to the success
of your new book, kenji.

Cheers!

Thank you.

Oh, this is so good.

Have you read all the work of
award candidates?

Of course, I have.

Of course.

Any good recommendations?

Please excuse me.

Mr. Sahara?

The conversations of summer.

The confidences and stories
we exchanged.

Yet the certainty
that they had once existed...

No longer leads me anywhere.
