Changing my name was easy.

Changing my face was easy, too.

And so was getting away.

But...

if I got caught...

May I have your name?

I've been on the run from myself.

"I AM ICHIHASHI: Journal of A Murderer"

Police have arrested Tatsuya lchihashi

at a ferry dock in Osaka.

He is charged with murder

and abandoning a corpse
in the death of a British woman

in lchikawa City.

He is said to have told police...

"I have no defence to offer."

"I have nothing to say at all."

He has said nothing of
the 2 years, 7 months,

or 961 days he spent on the run.

His face altered through plastic surgery.

Could we have a word, please?

Downstairs!

Halt!

Tokyo Bay Radio Headline News.

Police in lchikawa

have found the body of a young woman

in a bathtub on the balcony
of an apartment there.

She is thought to have been acquainted

with the man who lives there.

Police are trying to
ascertain how she died.

The man's current whereabouts are unknown.

Police are assuming he has
knowledge of the case

as they try to identify the woman.

Chiba Prefectural Police

have identified an English woman
found dead March 26th

as a 22 year-old instructor at
an English-conversation school.

The body was found nude buried in a bathtub

filled with potting soil.

She is believed to have been strangled.

Her right eye was swollen

and there were bruises
on her arms and legs.

The plastic bathtub,
centimeters wide and 69 deep...

Here's a song from Australia,

where Christmas comes in summer!

"I am lost in Shikoku"

Aomori, Shikoku, Okinawa, Osaka...

I never thought I'd be able

to interview you on the run like this.

Could I ask you your name again?

Why are you still running?

All right, why have you
kept on running this long?

You've changed your face, and your name.

Are you that afraid of arrest?

You don't want to be put on show?

You don't want to take responsibility

for what you've done? Is that it?

No.

Radio Kochi Headline News.

Here is the news to this hour.

The family of the language teacher
found murdered in lchikawa

has come to Japan to take
possession of her body

from police in Chiba Prefecture.

It will be taken to Narita airport

and returned to her home
near Coventry, England.

It was on the radio I first heard

the name of her home town.

What's that got to do with
going from Aomori to Shikoku?

I'd heard walking the pilgrimage

of the 88 temples of Shikoku

in reverse order will bring
the dead back to life.

You really thought that
would bring her back?

I really thought so then.

Hook her life away from her.

"Wanted"

"Pilgrimage Route"

That's what you say,

but do you understand what you did?

Why didn't you let go

when she was struggling to breathe?

I don't know.

After you'd raped her,

she said she wouldn't report you,

and begged you to let her go.

I wanted to let her go.

Why didn't you?

I'd hither.

She had a black eye.

I couldn't let her go...

looking like that.

So you killed her, buried her, and ran.

How selfish can you get!

You had other choices.

Why that one?

It wasn't my fault.

Then whose fault was it?

Tell me.

If it wasn't yours, whose was it?

I don't know.

Was it lnoue?

Ueshima?

Or was it Ueda?

"Matsuyama-Naha Ferry"

Police have released a photograph

of murder suspect Tatsuya lchihashi

taken from a security camera
in his building elevator

a few days before the crime.

Police are thought to have taken this step

as the trail grows cold.

As of April 7th, investigators
had been contacted 433 times

without receiving any firm leads.

I fell down the stairs.

He didn't used to be like that.

He was nice then.

The 13:45 ferry to Naha, Okinawa,

is now ready to board.

Passengers with tickets,
please proceed to Gate 2.

I really wonder...

where things went wrong.

You are listening to Ryukyu Wave.

Here is the news.

Today marks one month
since a warrant was issued

for the arrest of Tatsuya lchihashi

for the murder of an English teacher
outside of Tokyo.

Police have investigated
379 reported sightings of lchihashi

but he remains at large.

The investigation team will be

increased from 100 to 150 officers.

"Cosmetic Surgery: Costs"

The prosthetic method.

Artificial cartilage
does not harm the body.

"Prosthetic nose: 600,000 yen"

I can't afford that!

You're working hard.

1.2 kilos, 120 yen.

And two at 700 grams...

That's 260 yen.

Thanks.

How do you assess this case, Mr. Nishio?

There are two things.

He's 26, out of university for two years,

still living off his parents.

A 'NEET', as it were.

Many criminals emerge from these people.

Those two years affect
this case a great deal.

A distortion sets in.

He's like someone rowing
a boat through fog.

Two years...

It's quite something.

What do you want to get out of me?

Nothing.

I want you to tell me what happened.

And as you flee your own cowardice as well.

I want a proper end to this movie.

Mama, there's a strange man there.

Hello?

I'm looking for work.

I don't have any experience.

Yes...

My name is...

It must have been hard, Ueshima.

But there's lots in Okinawa
who can't find work.

You're from Kanagawa?

I worked in Shinagawa.

Right in Tokyo, the next 'gawa' over.

Got papers?

Your family register.

You'll need a copy of that to work here.

Hello. Are you at the Karma Restaurant?

No, stupid! The welcome party.

Yeah, that's right. Okay.

Right, right...

Okay, thanks. Take care of it.

Okay, all right...

I'll introduce him.

28, high-school graduate, loner...

Prefectural school?
Yes.

In Kanagawa?

They're everywhere.

Ten years out of school, then.

What's your name?

Yuuki Ueshima.

Right! Ueshima, 28.

Work hard.

Drink?
Sorry...

In Okinawa, you have to drink.

Sorry.
Drink!

Knock it back! Stop saying 'sorry'.

I wasn't just running.

I was trying to live.

You were trying to live

when you'd taken someone's life?

I've fixed it up so you can stay upstairs.

Don't drink too much.

I'm going.

Good luck, Ueshima.

Good night.

Nice to meet you! Cheers.

Higa! Ueshima needs food!

Go get him some.

Put your cell phone down.

Is there more beer?
Here.

Another beer.

Can't you say 'thank you'?

Sorry.
Leave him alone, Higa.

Eat up!

Next!

Let's all go and drink!

Where are we going?

Ueshima! Wait a minute.

Starting tomorrow, this
guy will come for you.

See ya.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, Higa!

"Wanted"

You figured you'd be safe there?

They just didn't know
you were Tatsuya lchihashi.

No!

Ueshima...

Watch it!

Sorry

Higa!

"Kanna Drive-in Restaurant"

"Kume Island"

"Oha Island"

"Hiking routes"

Ueshima!

Come here.

Good work.

Your overtime's in there, too.

Is the emergency number
I have for you still good?

Yes.

I called it, but there's
no 'Ueshima' there.

And you need ID to work.

Maybe not in some big-city slum

but this is Okinawa.

If you don't want to give
it, you can always quit.

Go on.

Get back to work.

What?

Did she look like her?

Look like her? I don't know.

Did you want to tell
someone what you'd done?

I...

Is this your first time with a hooker?

You scared me, grabbing my arm like that.

Why are you staring like that?

Are you in love?

You're not from here, are you?

People from here smell different.

I'm from Yokohama, myself.

I'm weak.

When I talk about it,
I only end up making excuses.

I wanted to apologize.

But I couldn't.

I'm sorry we didn't make it all the way.

Come back again if you get lonely.

Three months after the murder...

with lchihashi still at large

the victim's family has begun
internet distribution of T-shirts

bearing his picture.

The reward for information
leading to his arrest

has also been raised to
the maximum of 1 million yen

from the Police 'Special
Investigation Fund'

that rewards informants in
serious criminal cases.

New posters are being released

in an effort to strengthen
the nation-wide search.

This has been Radio Hai Sai News.

Thank you!

The Radio Hai Sai Request
Line is still open.

Hello! Okinawa Police.

Hello.

Could I change posters?
Go ahead.

Hey, Loner!

Hi there, Higa!

Hi.

You're working for Mr. Kinjo?
Yes.

Keeping your nose clean?
Who says I'm not?

Keep it that way.

"Wanted: Tatsuya lchihashi"

Who's there?

Hold it, Ueshima!

Hold it!

You piss me off, you know that?

Ueshima!

Doesn't it get lonely on the run,

with no one to talk to?

I listened to the radio.

You needed human contact.

A man on the run can't have that.

I wanted a desert island.

A desert island?

Somewhere to flee to.

But desert islands don't have water.

So you chose Oha Island.

What about surrendering?

Surrendering? I can't do that.

That won't reduce the sentence
once a warrant's issued.

A reduced sentence?
When you killed someone?

You do feel sorry for
killing her, don't you?

I feel horrible!

But...

But?

Anyone would try to escape.

Anyone would.

Two photographs of the suspect
have been released.

The 30,000 posters are bringing
more than 20 calls per day.

A man resembling lchihashi

has been reported at a bar
in Tokyo's Kabukicho area

frequented by cross-dressers.

A woman's wig and make-up were
reportedly found in his home...

With police devoting vast resources
to finding lchihashi

most reports are either
mistaken identity or...

Police in Chiba have set up

life-sized cut-outs of the suspect

180 centimeters tall, they feature a switch

that plays a recording of his voice.

Pictures seized from
lchihashi's computer...

It is one year today
since the body of an English woman

was found in an lchikawa apartment.

At a press conference at
the Japan Press Center in Tokyo,

her father said...

someone may be aiding lchihashi.

He said he hopes lchihashi is caught
before he kills again.

Ichihashi has broken our hearts,

the woman's mother said, adding...

'Alone for your crime.'

Right.

"I am nobody in Oha Island"

How's your morning going?

Whether you're heading for work,

or you have the day off,

good morning!

This is 'Sunshine Morning' on Ryukyu Wave

brought to you by Gushiken Optical

and the makers of Red Taro Tarts.

And our first song request...

I always listen to you before I go to work.

Thank you!

My wife and I have just
come back from Cambodia.

That sounds nice!

He says that pumpkins are called
'kabocha' in Japanese

because they came here from Cambodia.

Apparently they first reached here

aboard a Portuguese ship
that landed at Oita in 1549.

I thought this was my place, mine alone.

Death by suffocation proceeds
through four stages.

There are no symptoms in the first minute.

After two to three minutes,

labored breathing and incontinence.

Breathing stops and blood pressure

falls after three to four minutes.

After four to five
minutes, the mouth moves,

but breathing has ceased.

After five minutes, the
heart stops beating.

For more than five minutes

you hands were around her neck.

That is a fact

When she stopped moving,

you rolled her onto her back.

Her eyes were open, right?

Those unfocused eyes stared up at you.

Are you forgetting?

You're a murderer.

Will you end this, please?

There's nothing more to say.

You're on the run. There is no end.

Do you understand what it's like

watching how people look at you?

Whose fault is that?

Changing your name, shunning society

avoiding responsibility!

If you're going to be like that,

I'm not saying any more.

This is my place.

Get out of here!

Get out!

Believing Tatsuya lchihashi dead
by suicide or misadventure

the Chiba Prefeciural Police

are scaling back their search for him.

The victim's family continues trying

to keep the case before the public.

Visiting Japan,
distributing posters on street comers

and insisting 'we will not rests
until lchihashi is caught.'

This is the only place I have.

You refuse to face this.

But you cannot erase it, can you?

It follows you forever.

I don't care.

No?

Then you leave me no choice.

It's too bad. I'd envisioned
a different ending.

There is no more need
to speak of the incident, then.

Or your life alone, on the run,
under a false name.

You live only to flee.

I flee only to live.

And who wishes you to be alive?

Everyone is hoping you're dead.

I'm not dead!

What if you were to satisfy their hopes?

Then you'd be at peace.

Or will you run from here as well?

In the eyes of the world,

a man who hides his name doesn't exist.

But I...

You just haven't realized that.

For you, killing someone else is easy.

So why isn't killing yourself?

I want to live!

Why won't you atone?

Or tell the truth?

Who are you?

Who?
Why me?

Answer me, lnoue!

Ueshima! Who are you?

There was no choice!

We know all about you!

Even if you think not.

Who are you?

"I am Ueda in Nagoya"

Taking a life was easy.

Becoming someone else was easy, too.

And so was no longer being Ueshima.

Who am I, anyway?

We don't need your ID.

I'd prefer not having
any photographs taken.

I can't operate without
photographs, Mr. Ueda.

All set.

Mr. Ueda! It's only a picture.

This way.

Sit here, please.

Let's take off the glasses.

I'll take them.

And the jacket.

Good.

Look this way.

Hello.

Ichihashi! Hold it!

You won't get away! Halt!

Investigators have learned

he has had his nose surgically altered.

Police say a Nagoya hospital reported
a man resembling lchihashi

who underwent surgery there October 27th.

A comparison of the position of
eyes, ears, and nose

in before and after photographs

suggests that the man is lchihashi.

He does not have the thick lips

prominent in earlier photographs.

No...

It can't be.

Ueshima!
Ueda!

No!

Are you alive?

I want to live.

"I am lnoue in Osaka"

"Application for Passport"

Are you still up?

Tomorrow's a busy day.

Did I interrupt?

No, it's okay.

What do you want to do, lnoue?

You can't go overseas without ID, you know.

But...

you know what?

I've been to America.

It's true.

See that?

Quiet, will you?

You've never been to America!

Not without a passport.

Passport? Who needs one!

Ichihashi's mother has told reporters

his parents have a duty
to deliver him to the police

and that she does not know
how he paid for surgery.

Inoue, get some sleep.

Hurry UP!

And that is headline news for this hour.

Hey, Inoue!!

So you're alive?

At least say 'good morning'.

Kitano! Move your arms, not your mouth!

What are you looking at, four-eyes?

What, you can't talk?

Okay... leave him!

I'll tell him the rules.

Has he got wax in his ears?

You need better manners.

Anyway, just hang in and collect your pay.

You're a good worker.

Next!

Oh, it's you.

I hear good things about you. Keep it up.

Inoue...

ls there something
you're saving your money to do?

We're fine now,

but sometimes day laborers don't have work.

This is insurance for when you can't eat.

Watch.

Here!

Listen. I don't show this to everyone.

This is special.

Look at this. This'll do fine.

You won't like it at
first, but get used to it.

It'll keep you alive.

I've had trouble, too. We help each other.

Any kindness you do will come back to you.

Unlike me and my family.

Hey, lnoue.

Find anything?

You'll find everybody's
got their own stories.

The only thing you can
do is live through it.

You alive, lnoue?

I want to live.

"Wanted: Tatsuya lchihashi"

Time for lunch! I'm starving!

Let's go!

Here you go.

Same thing!

Why did you spoil the surprise?

Police have raised the reward

from 1 million yen to 10 million yen

for information leading to
the arrest of Tatsuya lchihashi.

Hey, wait a minute!

I've seen that guy before.

I know it!

Go find him, then!

Inoue.

I'm sorry. I turned you in.

Forgive me.

I needed the money.

Everything's wrong for me here.

But with the money,
I could start over with my family.

I didn't kill anyone, right?

Right, Inuoe?

Police near Osaka have found
passport-related documents

at a construction-company dormitory...

where Tatsuya lchihashi wanted
for the March 2007 murder

of a British woman was working
under an assumed name.

Co-workers said he was studying

a foreign language on his own

leading police to believe
he is planning to flee abroad.

Following press reports

that Tatsuya lchihashi
has had plastic surgery.

The victim's parents have said

they are 'distressed' at the news.

"Which clinic carried out the work?"

"Why was nothing done?"

The family said in a statement

to the British newspaper "Daily Life".

How long were you lnoue?

When did you become Ueshima?

When did you leave Ueda behind?

Inoue, and Ueshima, and Ueda...

I killed them.

No!

Don't!

He'll me!

Why did you run?

No! Don't!

I'll follow you...

Who are you?

Till I get the truth.

Who are you?

Die.

You should know.

Who?

You're going to die.

I don't want to!

You're getting killed.

He'll me!

Who are you, anyway?

I'm you!

Don't kill me!

There's no escape.

On March 25th, about 10 P.M.,

she got into the elevator of my building.

When she entered my apartment,

I hugged her from behind.

She resisted, and I
pushed her to the floor.

Of course I knew she wanted to get away.

She said to me...

'You want to kill me, don't you?'

I became irritated with her.

I struck her.

I knew I couldn't let her get away.

Then with her fist,

she hit me on the left temple.

My head hit the wall.

After that, I don't know what happened.

The bathtub had fallen over.

She was screaming, crawling around,

trying to get away.

I quickly reached out my left hand

and placed it over her jaw.

I brought up my right hand
and pressed down harder.

Then her voice stopped.

"Osaka Nanko Ferry Terminal"

Changing my name was easy.

Changing my face was easy, too.

And so was getting away.

No.

If you hadn't run away...

If I hadn't run away that night...

All you'd accomplish is
to change where you died.

I couldn't get away from myself.

"Ueda, Ueshima, lnoue, lchi"

Will you tell me your real name?

I am Tatsuya lchihashi.
