Good evening. Welcome to "Nami's Late Late Night."

We 're broadcasting live for those who can't sleep.

The videos sent in by viewers weren't so good.

You need to do better than make sexy voices.

No!

Rewind a bit.

There! Doesn't she look like Mom?

Hideki?

Dinner is ready. Time to eat.

Dispensing

Huh? I didn't see this one.

For those who can't sleep To Nami Tsuchiya

I don't work late because I can't sleep.

Will this one be good?

Takagicho Tollgate

Kasumigaseki Kita-Ikebukuro

Not another one like this.

What the hell?

That's me.

Me.

I'm sure it's just a prank. What do you want me to do?

Come on, we should look into it.

How about going there to see if it's real?

If we air it, we'll get more like it. It might put you in danger.

Sounds great. We could air it as it develops.

No way. Plus, your show is over budget.

Says who?

Sales department.

Good morning.

As long as you make good shows, I'll support you.

But you know, your ratings have dropped.

That's why we need this.

Then don't ask me. Go on your own accord.

That silly producer says we can go.

All we need is proof to air the video.

What if we find a body?

It'll be our scoop! We'll be star reporters!

Let's go. You too, Rei?

An all-female team? No way.

We'll need a stylist.

Nami, do you really want to go?

Yeah.

See? If Nami's in, you should be too.

Can I see one of those?

Good morning!

Letters for you girls.

Too many gloomy people out there.

Hey! Are you calling my scripts gloomy?

Kidding.

Kondo, do you like horror films?

I love them.

You can be our bodyguard.

Nope. No way.

Helping you girls is always trouble.

Takagicho Tollgate

Here.

What kind of idiot made that tape?

An oily old man who wants to wear Nami's panties over his grinning head.

Kasumigaseki Kita-Ikebukuro

Can we get home by nightfall?

Sure. It's only one o'clock.

I have a date.

Rei, you have a date every night. Guess it saves on living expenses.

That means?

Thanks.

What was that?

A dog.

Well, let's go.

My hamburger's ruined!

Which way?

That way.

Are you okay, Rei?

I'm okay.

She's okay, Kondo.

Well, that's good.

Are you sure this is the right place?

Yeah.

That's weird. The map says this place is an empty field.

Looks like it was some kind of a base.

You're right.

Let's look for another way in.

Huh? No way.

It's open. Should we go in without permission?

All the buildings look similar. What'll we do?

There were poles in the video.

Are there any hamburgers left?

Still hungry?

I dropped mine, remember?

Here you go.

Check out the gas tank!

Pull over here.

This place is huge.

Yeah.

How do I get out?

Let's make three groups

and meet here in an hour.

We can only make two groups.

I'll go that way alone.

I'll go it alone.

Stay with Rei. She must be scared.

Rie, let's go.

Is it okay?

I'm happy to go with you.

We'll check over there.

Are you okay alone?

Sure.

Sorry about the other night. It was from drinking too much bourbon.

Yeah, but you never stopped trying.

Don't hurt me like that. What if I'm impotent forever?

Look, I'm here to work.

Save the personal stuff for later.

Is anybody here? Hello?

Who's there?

Who are you?

Why are you here?

That's what I want to ask. This isn't a playground for adults.

I'm with a TV crew here on research.

Sorry, wouldn't know. I've been without a TV for a while.

Be careful.

Stay on guard.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for someone.

I'll be on my way.

Who is "someone"?

This is weird.

It's like everyone suddenly vanished.

Are you there?

What kind of bodyguard are you?

Who's there?

Is it you, Kondo?

Asshole!

Idiot.

You broke my glasses.

Just look at them.

What are you doing? Don't touch me!

I'm feeling up today.

Good for you.

I can do it now.

Do what?

The sequel to the other day.

Well, I don't get it.

Why is Nami so into this place?

Don't be dumb. You know we get fewer jobs these days.

Yeah, I guess so.

People were interested in female production teams, but not anymore.

It's a tough industry.

Unless we go back with a story, we're going to find ourselves in the poor house.

It's not like you girls. Nami's not so laid back.

I'm not so laid back myself.

Move, you're in the frame.

Okay.

Are my clothes dirty? It's a mess in here.

You're covered with dust.

Oh no. They'll know for sure what we were doing.

That's enough, idiot. I'll go find a faucet.

Wait up. Hey!

What's wrong?

It's you, Nami.

Why are you out of breath? And where is Mako?

She wants to take pictures in the abandoned buildings.

Nami, can we go home already?

Did something happen?

No, it's just that I have a bad feeling about this place.

You may be right.

It's getting cold. Let's go to the car.

This is the place. Where they shot it.

Give me a break. I know it's you, Kondo. Just come out.

You never learn.

No!

So, you think the video is genuine?

Her reaction was too real.

So, some guy killed her to lure us here?

He's calling me. That's why I'm here.

No thanks. Let's go home. I don't want this even if it's our job.

Work isn't my only motive.

Don't you want to know what he's like?

Fat chance. You've no idea what a nut like that will do.

Get out of the car.

You'll spill my coffee.

A pervert's love letter. Perfect for "Late Late."

You stay out of it!

Don't worry. The sun's up. Dracula won't be out until dark.

Well, so what?

Where's Rei?

Nami, I found it! I found the place!

There. Over there.

To Rei Wait here until we come back!

Can we get inside?

It isn't locked.

This is it, right?

It's musty, no?

Yeah.

It's really dark in here.

That's odd. Where are the windows?

Look closely.

Do that again.

A bunch of televisions.

The windows are covered.

From the outside too.

I did it.

Honestly...

What's with them...

That guy needs to be taught a lesson.

Turn that off. It's blinding.

Hey.

What is that sound?

Huh?

It's Rei.

No way.

Rie!

Rie, wait!

Rie!

Stop!

Rie!

Rie!

Rie!

A light...

The police...

We have to call the police.

Nami, I'll go get help!

This doesn't look good.

Stop it.

Can you use your strobe again?

See anything?

I'm not sure.

It looks like a cage...

What's wrong?

Someone's in there.

Inside...

Mako, this way!

Nami!

Hurry up!

Nami! Kondo!

Nami!

Kondo!

The strobe.

It's mine.

Come on, it's getting dark...

Hurry!

Who is it?

If I kill trespassers, I'll be freed.

They promised me.

Just killing you is too easy.

I want to enjoy this.

No!

They kill people for pleasure.

My girl's eyes, they cut them out.

I'm a tough man, but that was more than I could bear.

You said, "they"? Are they a group?

They are two, but two in one.

The devil. Not human!

Stop!

No!

Where am I?

Mako?

Kondo?

You're bleeding.

How many?

How many what?

How many of you died including him?

Ko... ko... ko...

You!

I found him like this.

It's too bad.

Why?

I told you.

This isn't a place for adults.

How about a pick-me-up?

Here.

Come on.

What is this place?

It was a military base. I played here with my brother as a boy.

Then you know where the exit is!

Not knowing their plan, it's best to stay put.

It sounds like you know the culprit. Who is he? What's he like?

You ask too many questions. Are you a cop or what?

Stop that!

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do.

It's crazy. We're being killed one after another. What's going on? Tell me!

I'm not...

good at talking to people.

I've lived behind concrete walls for so long.

A prison?

Yeah.

Something like that.

Here isn't so different.

Who are you looking for?

My little brother.

Your brother? What do you mean?

Hideki?

I know it's you. Stop it already.

Who are you?

What are you up to?

Are you okay?

Don't move!

Catch.

Nami.

Help me, please.

Nami.

Please help me.

Nami.

Mako!

Nami.

Help me.

Nami.

Mako, where are you?

Nami.

Where are you?

Help me, Nami.

Help me.

Mako!

Nami.

Help me.

Which way? Which way should I go?

Where are you? Tell me!

I don't know. I can't tell where you are!

On the right.

At the far end of the corridor!

Mako!

Are you okay, Mako?

Mako...

Coward.

Just kill me. Just kill me, pervert.

Is killing really that much fun?

Do you enjoy it?

I'm not afraid, not afraid of you.

You're never going to beat me.

Stop!

Shit, he got away.

What's wrong?

Bite on this.

Didn't hit a bone. You'll be fine.

Can you walk?

Where are we?

I know a secret path.

Why tell me now?

I saw the culprit. It's a kid.

A kid? How can that be?

Hold this.

It's hot.

What's wrong?

The lighter.

You coming?

Right, this is it.

Hand me the light.

Where does this lead? Outside?

To a bamboo grove. I wonder who the hell that kid is?

Maybe one of my fans.

What are you? An actress?

I emcee a nighttime TV show.

Put the light in front of me.

That's good.

Is he a fanatic?

Like he wants to see you naked or wants you all to himself.

No way. I'm not that famous.

He could just visit the station if he really wants to meet me.

Would you sleep with a visitor?

There's a thought.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Happens sometimes. It will pass soon.

Thanks.

Isn't that hot?

I was born this way.

My nerves are totally fried.

My brother's the same way.

Do you have any siblings?

A brother, but he died when he was little.

Mine is a brat.

Little brothers are a pain.

They get upset when they don't get what they want.

Will you be okay?

Did you get along with Hideki?

You said his name earlier.

So I did. His name is Hideki.

Maybe the culprit captured him. The poor boy.

How can you stand this situation? Aren't you afraid?

I am.

If I were alone, I'd go crazy.

It'll be morning soon.

I guess so.

Know how to use this?

I've experience.

My show visited a shooting range in the Philippines.

I see.

Take it, then.

Here.

You'll find the exit ahead.

What about you?

I'm looking for my brother.

You're going back? No way.

I'm not afraid of that brat.

Take this.

You look awful. Your pretty face is a mess.

Rie.

Rie...

You asked to go home.

We should've left then.

You had a date too.

Mako had a meeting to attend.

Her script's deadline is tomorrow.

I'm sorry for what's happened.

Hideki, don't stay up late. Go to bed now.

You've got school tomorrow.

You naughty boy. Did you go out again?

You're a kite with a broken string.

Hideki, don't stay up late. Go to bed now.

You've got school tomorrow.

You naughty boy. Did you go out again?

You're a kite with a broken string.

Hideki, where did you go?

You can't skip school anymore. I'm not going to lie to your teacher again.

Hideki, where did you go?

You can't skip school anymore. I won't lie to your teacher again.

Hideki, where did you go?

You can't skip school anymore. I won't lie to your teacher again.

Mom?

Me?

He thinks I'm his mom?

You mustn't play with dead bodies.

Don't get in my way, Hideki.

You've had your fun. Isn't it enough?

Why did you let her escape?

Isn't killing five enough for one day?

I know why you let her get away.

That means?

You're too soft, Brother. I kill more easily.

I shouldn't use your power. I do this on your behalf.

I've done whatever you asked.

You're a liar!

But it's fine. She knows everything.

What?

She's there, looking at you.

I told you to leave.

I couldn't.

Is your show's research that important to you?

Everyone around me has died.

How can I escape alone?

Hideki, she really does sound like Mother.

Stop pretending you are two people!

Did you find him? Your brother?

He doesn't exist. I saw the pictures.

Are you a mom freak? A mama's boy? A split personality?

In any case, you're a psycho!

You've got a lot of imagination for a TV reporter.

But it's on the vulgar side.

A killer has no right to say that!

Show me your face!

Take off that mask!

Now what?

We'll go to the police.

The police?

Hurry or I'll shoot. I mean it.

I know you do.

Best to shoot now if you mean it.

You can shoot me from behind.

I want this to be over.

It's over anyway.

You don't get it at all.

I don't care what happens. I'm fed up with it all.

I'll have to deal with it eventually.

If it's today, that's fine by me.

Nami, you're upset that we killed your friends.

But we've never had friends.

We've lived alone like this for a long time.

Nothing lasts forever.

Well?

We're going to the police.

Is that right?

Let's go.

Nami!

Hurry, get out of here. Run!

Nami...

What... What's happening?

Stop this, Hideki.

I won't let you go.

What? Who is it? Who's there?

Who is talking?

Shoot me...

Make it end.

Shoot me!

Shoot me one more time.

Finish me off.

Do it.

No.

Idiot.

Don't go out.

No, Hideki. You're going to die.

Hideki, come back.

Don't...

Hideki...

Hideki? Is this Hideki?

Don't take my brother!

You tried to take my brother.

Liar!

No!

It's okay.

He escaped from out of my body.

It will soon be over.

We just...

wanted to see you once.

No.

It's over now.

We will...

stay together forever.

Hideki.

Now I got it.

You wanted it to be over.

You are mine.

Well, you're finally awake.

No Smoking

Thank you.

We couldn't identify the charred man.

And the other one?

The thing you called Hideki?

Right. What happened to it?

We searched for it.

We did. But we couldn't find anything like you described.

But I really saw it.

About 30 cm in height. A newborn baby, right?

We searched high and low for it.

We even gave the charred body a CAT scan.

But maybe... such a thing doesn't exist.

It can't exist. Think about it.

Fire from its mouth?

You should keep it to yourself.

For your sake, we'll remove that part from our records.

Get better and get back to work.

The victims were writer Mako Abe.

Stylist Rei Sugiura. Supervisor Rie Kawamura.

And assistant director Akio Kondo.

They were the crew that helped put this show together.

For those who can't sleep, you've been watching, "Nami's Late Late Night."

Good night.

Great job.

Good show.

Excuse me.

Some man asked me to return this to you.

What is it?

He said it's something you forgot.

Thank you.

Mommy.
