A Snake of June (六月の蛇)

A small camera won't do. Has to be a big one with a flash.

Otherwise you can't make her come.

'A big camera with a big flash...'

hey, let me buy you dinner. I found a good Korean place.

Okay.

Take some hot stuff like this, mr iguchi?

No.

This is fine.

Why quit? What a shame.

You always do a good job and you're cheap.

Anyway, can you deliver the stuff by tomorrow!

County mental health centre. What can I do for you?

Hello...

Hello...

Are you there?

I'm... thinking of killing myself...

A snake of June

Once you find what you really want to do, you'll be okay.

Yes...

Oh, no no...

Yes...

Yes...

I know what you mean. I sure do.

Go for it. Nobody can stop you.

May I help you?

I need to talk to mrs rinko tatsumi.

Is there anything I can do?

I need to talk to her in person.

Eh...

I'm mrs tatsumi.

Mental health centre: Telephone counselling

So you saved her son's life!

She looked so angry so I thought she had a complaint.

Actually, I thought so too,

because I've been a bit tough on the boy.

He stopped calling me for a while.

Thank goodness...

- 'Safe, ' eh? - Yeah...

- I'm home. - You scared me.

You're early today. I wouldn't have worked overtime if I had known.

Never mind.

Did you eat! I bought one only for myself.

Don't worry. I ate already.

Hey, I'll do it. Was it that dirty?

I love to do this.

- You know what! - What?

Why don't we get a dog, a big one!

Don't know.

How about a small rabbit, then?

It'll grow big.

How big do you mean?

What's up with you!

Rinko...

There you go again. That means "don't do that."

Don't you leave those books lying about, will you?

- Here. - Thanks.

Your husband's secrets

what's that? Any news!

Nothing.

Your husband's secrets

You've made me want to live.

I shouldn't have said I wanted to die.

I've found something to live for now. You should be happy for me.

Shigehiko was promoted again.

The new position keeps him busy, but he'll come to see you soon.

Today, shigehiko nagged me to buy a new car

but I told him off because I bought him one recently.

He was dejected...

You know, you're right. One must find something to live for.

You... are the one calling the centre...

Why don't you do what you really want?

Walk in the street, dressed in the mini skirt.

Let's walk in the street dressed in the skirt cut short,

just like when you did it alone.

Bring and change the skirt at the place where I tell you to.

Use the cell phone enclosed and follow my instructions...

Then I'll give you the negatives.

Who'd believe a sleaze like you!

I'm not asking you for sex.

I'm telling you to do what you want. Then you'll get the negatives.

You'r e cr az y!

Please watch. Here we go.

What... again?

Let me clean it. I've got the time.

Please. I love doing this.

To: Mr shigehiko tatsumi minato-ku, Tokyo...

Forgive me, shigehiko.

How about next Saturday?

Your husband is working, but you'll be off,

I'll call the police.

Go ahead. We'll meet in hell.

Why... why me!

You made me want to live.

You said you only photographed still lives.

You lied.

No, I didn't.

I've changed since I got to know you.

- See you. - Have a nice day.

Let's begin.

Take the subway and get off at the fifth station.

There's a toilet just in front of the ticket booths.

That's where you should change into the skirt.

Did you change?

Did you change?

Look, I want to talk with you.

We can talk on the phone or maybe we can meet at a cafe.

I can't do this.

You can do it when you're alone.

You caught me the only time I did it.

Tell me what made you become so daring

at this rainy season of year.

Something has burst open in you.

Don't be afraid. You can do it.

Don't worry about how people react. Show them who you are.

I promise you'll get the negatives.

No underwear.

Just like when you did it alone.

What about a shirt, your hair and some make-up?

You should look the way you were.

I forgot.

What? Never-mind.

Walk through the arcade to the department store.

This cosmetic would go with your skin.

- Well then... - Hold on a second.

- Let's buy a vibrator now. - What?

You want it, don't you?

It's time to buy one.

I don't want it.

- Yes, you do. - No.

Please. Don't you want the negatives back?

Believe me I can't.

You told me on the phone at the centre:

"You've got to do what you really want.'

What? Which one?

The bigger one!

All right.

I was wondering about you, prowling around the entrance.

So you wanted this, eh?

There is a window over your head.

Show me what you bought.

Wow, it sure looks big.

Well, the show is over now.

The negatives are...

Maybe not quite yet.

This isn't what you really wanted.

Put the vibrator in and walk in the streets.

Place the remote control at the entrance.

What about the negatives?

You promised.

I thought you're special since you saved my life.

You tell people what to do but you can't do it yourself,

you're not in touch with your husband's feelings.

Some counsellor!

It seems you chose the right husband...

He isn't like your father, who was a boozer and a womaniser.

I'm not telling you to get laid.

I'm telling you to do what you want.

Let's finish this thing first.

You'll have the negatives. Be happy.

You'll find a grocery store soon.

Buy a cucumber, an eggplant and a banana.

Buy just one of each, okay?

I'll kill you!

One of each?

You should've told me that first.

That's 500 yen.

Well, that's enough.

You can go back to the toilet.

You'll find the negatives.

Shigehiko...

- Hello. - Hello.

Enough is enough! Now what do you want?

There's something I must tell you...

I still have a negative.

You said that's all...

Do what I say if you want this.

- You lied! - No! I didn't mean to!

- Bastard! - Then, don't listen! Anyway...

Go and see your doctor.

Yes...

Good... no, I didn't do much.

Don't mention it.

No... please...

Well...

Nice talking to you.

The last negative

Yes?

Pet shop, 'merry.'

Hey...

Umbh...

How did you know about it!

Tell me how.
