Golden Slumber (ゴールデンスランバー)

7th floor.

This elevator is going down.

Nanami, hurry. The elevator's here.

You can't swing that around here.

No, Daddy, don't let her take it,

Sorry.

- Sorry. - Behave yourself, Honey.

3rd floor, going down.

Did I surprise you?

What?

That's what this serial killer says

as he stabs his victims.

I read it in a tabloid.

You read tabloids?

He's known as Kill-0.

That guy back in the elevator...

I was half expecting him to say, ''Did I surprise you?''

What's wrong?

Nanami?

Nanami.

It's dangerous to wander off.

Alright,

When's Dad coming home? The day after tomorrow?

When you start eating peppers.

He doesn't have to come back then.

Poor Daddy...

''Serial Killer, watch out for this man, ''

It's been so long, When did you come back to Sendai?

Last year.

What? How come?

You know, things happen.

Like what?

Well Aoyagi, you broke up with Haruko.

And you, Aoyagi...

You became famous when you saved a pop idol. And you...

ls that my fault?

- Yes, it is. - Well, sorry.

Are we fishing in the sea or river? What do I need...

Where's your fishing gear?

I give it an A minus.

How come?

It's popular but not too crowded

and middle-aged men like us blend into it's homely atmosphere.

You haven't changed.

Remember our Food Culture Research Club?

Friendship through fast food. I bet it didn't last.

After we graduated

I heard that Kazu found 10 new club members.

Keeping logs of fast-food joints and menus...

Who would join such a club?

You were the enthusiastic one,

I was young and silly.

Nice car, when did you buy it?

Are we eating here?

The prawn's mine.

Are you here for the Prime Minister?

The parade? No, I'm not interested.

I'm sorry,

What are you doing?

You can have this.

You've always eaten fries like that.

Some things never change.

Do you know what a man's strengths are?

No...

One is his habits.

And trust.

Habits and trust.

Golden Slumber

When pop idol Rinka returned to her hometown in Sendai

a burglar broke into her condominium.

Luckily she was rescued when a young deliveryman came by.

Mr. Aoyagi knocked him down with a leg sweep!

He saved my life! I don't know how to thank him.

Any comments, Mr. Aoyagi?

Sorry but I have packages to deliver.

You knocked the thief down with a leg sweep. Is that judo?

A college friend taught me that one technique!

Rock'n'roll!

Boy, I dozed off,

Did you put something in this?

Yep, I put a sedative in it.

I put it in the lid with a syringe.

ls that right.

It's the Beatles...

The lullaby.

It's Golden Slumbers from Abbey Road.

It's a song about the way you once took home.

It reminds me of the fun we had in college.

When I hear get back homeward

I remember how we were back in those days.

You're so sentimental,

Was it the major outer reap?

What's that?

When you threw the burglar...

I only know one judo technique.

I boasted to my kid that I'd taught you that.

Your kid,

A kid? You have a child?

I married straight after college. He's at elementary school.

Oh, my God,

I moved to Tokyo...

and married my pregnant girlfriend.

She was an avid slot player.

She was addicted to it.

She took the kid there everyday.

And before we knew it, we were in debt.

I defaulted on my debt obligations.

What kind of bullshit law school talk is that?

Morita, are you okay?

I hit rock bottom repaying the debts. Then I got a call.

It was a suspicious offer.

My debts would be canceled if I did what they asked.

What did they want?

My task was

to bring you to this car today.

And then I was to sedate you until 12:30.

Who are they?

Aoyagi.

Has anything strange happened to you recently?

No.

Have you met anybody recently?

No,

Oh, yes...

I was at a manga-cafe the other day.

Hey, This computer doesn't work, ls it my fault?

Or is somebody harassing me?

She sounds suspicious.

She doesn't,

She approached you.

Well, she did...

- Did she ask you to hand out fliers? - What?

Remember what we talked about back in college?

The Beatles...?

One...

Two... Three and four,

- The major outer reap? - No, damn it,

You don't have to yell.

Look behind us.

It's Prime Minister Kaneda's parade.

I was told to get you here behind the parade,

Aren't we fishing?

Listen, Aoyagi.

They'll make you

into a Lee Harvey Oswald.

Oswald...? Who is he?

He's the one who was framed as JFK's killer.

They made him hand out communist fliers before the assassination.

Who's they?

Somebody in power.

They created this image of him as an activist.

It was just an image.

It's all about image. How about you?

I didn't hand out fliers...

You saved that pop idol 2 years ago.

That made you an instant celebrity, a hero.

Oh, that...

I think...

the Prime Minister

will be assassinated in this parade.

So?

What's the punch line?

It's your image, you see,

A man who posed as a hero

kills the Prime Minister.

- What's that? - Aoyagi, you have to think,

- Think what? - Don't be gullible,

Don't drink water offered to you.

When you're invited on a fishing trip don't go and buy fishing gear,

See?

It's a bomb.

There's one under us too.

I checked the car while you were out cold.

This car's rigged.

It's a bomb that even someone like me can recognize.

- We'd better run... - You run.

Come on, Morita.

I can't,

If I run, my family will be in danger.

Two policemen are approaching us.

The explosion was over there but they are coming this way.

Listen, Aoyagi.

Run.

If 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.

Aoyagi.

Did you do it?

With the pop idol?

Do what?

Freeze,

Morita.

Don't move,

What's this?

What's going on?

What's happening to me?

What's going on?

Hello?

Aoyagi?

Come to my place.
