- Miss Tsuchiya! - Yes?

- Are you busy? Would you help me out? - Eh?

- Isn't Goro here? - No. His break.

I won't do any S&M pictures.

Not this time. It's an adult video.

Our company will do anything for money.

Even the United Nations complains about the Japanese style of sexuality!

- It's none of their business. - Excuse me...

What? Have you met before?

This is the writer Muraki.

I'm Muraki... nice to meet you.

This is our editor and temporary cameraman Tsuchiya.

- So... you two haven't met before? - No.

- Here. - Thanks.

Are you all right? What's wrong?

What... is... wrong... with... you?

That was a tough shoot for a woman.

I guess so... I've never done a rape scene before.

- Can I borrow your camera®? I'll return it tomorrow with the films. - Wait!

Good...

Izumi, come have a drink with me.

I'd like to join you, but I'm working here.

Don't worry; nobody's here yet. What do you think, Saki?

Well, if you insist!

The boss is always the last one to arrive.

- Guess who? - An old hag!

You bitch!

It wasn't fake... they were really raping her.

Who cares! She got her money. It's her job.

I know somebody who built a house making money like that.

How can a woman get fucked by people like that?

Some women prefer it that way... a lot of women are horny.

What?! I didn't know you were on their side! You are a girl's enemy!

- You've had enough. - Stop! - No more tonight. - Don't!

We had fun tonight, didn't we?

Did you see that transvestite in the bathroom?

Here we are... we're home now.

Are you okay?

I kinda like gay guys...

Porno is entertainment for straight guys.

So you think only straight guys commit rape”?

Porno is a straight man's fantasy.

You're contradicting what you said before.

Where am I?7

Be still...

- What are you doing to me? - All right?

Do you want to take a bath? I'm going to.

Where are you?

Are you okay?

Where am I?7

Where you want to be.

- Well? - This isn't my style.

Nami...

What should I do?

Just be yourself.

Can I touch...

- What? - Down there...

I was... I was raped by my father.

He was my stepfather... My mum married him...

it's the typical story.

I still remember... the odour of that bastard.

His saliva... the stink of his sperm.

The smell of his armpits...

After the rape, he took out a rope...

and said, "Your mum never allowed me to do this".

That was my first sexual experience.

We locked the door, but my mum came home...

And then... of course... he became frantic.

It was both pathetic and funny...

Wearing his underwear inside-out, making up excuses to my mum...

He asked me to keep everything secret.

My mother never knew the truth.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

- Did Muraki do something to you? - Like what?

His wife committed suicide.

It had something to do with his promiscuity.

Maybe it's just a rumour.

I'm sick of rumours!

I'm sorry.

- Have a good night. - You too.

Wait for me. I'm almost finished.

- I have plans tonight. - I have tickets for us!

I think I told you not to buy them.

What are you upset about? Is something wrong with me?

It's nothing to do with you.

I'm coming with you.

- What the...I? Stop! - I'm serious.

Let me go! What are you doing? Stop!

That's it!

Hello? Is the boss there?

The boss? She's off sick. Probably a cold. She won't be in.

It's Saki. Come over... En?

Who is it?

It's me. I don't think you're sick... maybe with some cute guy!

Here I am... With a snack!

I'm sorry.

Wait... Nami...

Damn it!

Telephonel!

Here. Stop drinking.

Aren't bartenders supposed to serve drinks?

Yeah, but you've had enough. Lighten up, Nami.

Out. She's out forever.

Who...? Oh... | know who you are!

I'm sorry about the other day... did you see the pictures?

No, I haven't seen them.

You're...

Muraki.

Muraki... oh, yes.

Do you come here often?

Yeah. I like the music here.

So, we meet again!

Let's toast.

Do you always write that kind of script?

Ah... sometimes.

I'm editing a magazine. I need a writer. Would you like a job?

I'd love it.

It's the boss.

What boss? I don't know her.

The boss... Chihiro.

Hey... I don't know...

- who you are! - Are you OK?

Leave me alone!

I feel terrible...

The boss is coming right away.

Oh nol!

Are you okay?

Let us through. Pardon us.

Fucking rude! Why didn't you say something”?

I'm leaving too.

What?!

This is the place where the murder took place...

the dead man was identified as a 43-year-old city worker, Yutaka Tsuga.

He died from multiple stab wounds, bleeding to death.

Investigations are concentrating on the woman who entered this hotel with him, and disappeared later.

She is described as 25-years-old... 5 foot 3 inches... medium build...

I think... it's me.

I should feel better tomorrow.

I'm sorry...

Yes?

How did you kill him?

While you were fucking him? Did he have an orgasm first?

Who is this?

Try to guess.

Do you know why this happened?

Because you did it with someone else.

If you allow me to fuck you... I will keep your secret

Please leave your message after the beep...

Answer the phone... I know you're there.

If you don't, I'm calling the police.

Are you screwing around with me?

I know you're there... and you like to fuck.

My dick will make you happy.

Hotel Murder: Mysterious Woman Disappeared

It's open.

Can you give me one more hour?

What?!

You want a blowjob?

- You have to make your dick hard. -Eh?I

Wait... stop it.

You know my phone number, you know I left with that guy...

and now you're blackmailing me to have sex with you! I know it's you!

You can fuck me - I'll let you fuck me. ..

but I'll never let you get close to me.

What the hell are you talking about?!

Don't insult me with lies! It's obvious.

I know you did this kind of thing to your wife...

forcing her to commit suicide. You drove her crazy!

Maybe you'd prefer something stronger?

Thank you.

I am very sorry...

I'm especially sorry for mentioning your wife's suicide.

Do you usually drink so much?

I can't remember anything from yesterday.

Well... I'm not surprised.

I left the bar right after you, to see if you were all right, but you had already gone.

After that... I came back here and slept off my drinks. I don't really have an alibi.

When I woke up... I was on a bed in some love hotel.

I don't get it... you were as drunk as hell...

how were you able to kill an adult man?

- I'm confused about that too... - What does that mean?

Guess who?

What happened to you last night?

I was just having a drink with [zumi.

Did something bad happen to you... you don't look well.

If something's bothering you, let me know.

Tell me whatever you like... I will help you.

I'm... I'm okay. Just fine.

Good evening. How are you?

What would you like?

What...? Beer.

- We'll have beers. -OK.

Boss, you're early tonight.

- Get them some beers, eh? - Saki, some beers.

Drink, relax... and talk to me.

Something is wrong with me... I don't want to have sex.

When I get into that position, my body refuses.

I'm out of control... I punch... kick... whatever.

I can't stop myself from becoming violent...

so I really think I did it.

Over-reaction.

Believe me: I've never told this embarrassing story to anyone.

About the blackmail phone calll...

you said the man sounded as if he'd seen everything.

That's weird...

you and the murdered man were the only ones in the hotel room.

So, someone who saw us entering the hotel...

put 2 and 2 together when he saw the news story on the TV?

Who knows your phone number?

I lost my address book recently.

I misplaced it somewhere.

I'm sorry. I thought I could help you...

- but in this case you should really go to the police. - I can't!

I'm embarrassed to show them the video.

What kind of video do you have? Some sex escapade?

I'd like to see it!

She's practising stand-up comedy.

I don't think so.

Did you watch until the end?

It's hard to watch.

You could REALLY blackmail me!

- And if I did? - I'd kill you.

What?

- Excuse me... - Who is that?

We need some additional information from you.

Please could you open up? I need to speak to you.

Okay, okay. I'lf open up.

What is this all about? Quch! Stop!

There... the real killer.

Look at that...

But who is that?

All we know is: it's not you.

Eh? What's wrong?

Listen to that sound... isn't that a bell?

Eh? A bell?

That's the man who is blackmailing you.

I'm sorry I accused you earlier.

Don't worry. And now. .. we know you aren't the killer.

What should we do with the tape?

The authorities must take a look at it, right?

We could make some edits...

We could cut out all the sexual parts.

And leave the parts with the victim and the killer next to your body.

Then they'll know you aren't the murderer.

- Can you do that? - At the office.

Hey!

Was it him?

- He's coming here. - What does that mean?!

- How could he know about me? - He knows about you? - Yes.

Is he here?

I'm scared... don't. - Stay in here.

What?!

Who is it?

Is that you, Muraki?

Yes... he ran away.

Did you see his face? Did you?

No. He ran to the elevator.

This whole thing is weird...

- It's hot... I'm sweating. - I'm all right.

- You'd better keep the window shut. - It feels clean.

Nine years ago...

I was coming home from school...

There was a sudden downpour.

Terrible...

Rain...

Thank you very much.

The memory of that time...

brings back the shock.

I was scared to death.

I had several boyfriends after that...

but the trauma kept me from enjoying them.

Involuntarily... I hit and kick.

I can't love.

Yesterday... I got drunk...

and then, in a frenzy, thought I had killed someone.

Murder is a long way from trauma, right?

It's not the first time...

The time I was raped...

It's your imagination: a mild case of paranoia.

I want to forget about that rape...

If | don't erase it, I'll never enjoy sex again.

You can erase it.

What?

I'm not an expert...

but, we need to explore your recollection of that incident.

We must examine that moment of trauma...

and then, by talking about it,

it'll be erased, as though it never happened.

I think I read about that in a psychology book.

Do you think so? Is that true?

However... if we don't handle it right...

If we don't handle it right?

You'll be obsessed... for the rest of your life.

It was a terrible downpour...

There was a shortcut... through the factory.

The guy backed his car up...

He threatened me with a hunting gun... told me to undress.

I was frozen with shock...

He grabbed my collar and dragged me back.

|/ was scared...

I was certain I'd be killed...

I was scared... so afraid.

I didn't know about rape... I thought he wanted to kill me.

What was that?

I didn't know why he was laughing all the time.

I didn't say you could leave!

What are you looking at?

No, don't!

"Congratulations: you killed your nightmare.

"I will edit the tape and deliver it. Muraki.”

I'm sorry I'm late. I overslept.

It's dirty everywhere!

The girls haven't cleaned up yet.

We got a report that the victim left this club with a girl.

I don't think you're talking about one of my girls.

- They were working until late. - We aren't suggesting that,

but one of your clients told us the victim was here.

What time did the murder take place?

Maybe 3... or 4 o'clock.

We close this place at one.

I don't know what the customers do after that.

But this is exciting... I've never met a detective before.

- Would you care for a drink? - Thank you...

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon...

Looks like Muraki's book...

Nasty pictures!

Look who's here!

Oh! I'm sorry. The door was open.

I was trying to save you the trouble of delivering the tape.

I'm sorry... I haven't done it yet. Can I drop it off at your office?

No, I'm leaving for a business trip...

I'll pick it up. Don't deliver it. Bye!

I have something to tell you. Will you listen?

You have a deadline coming up.

You were off yesterday... you've got to get some work done.

Please help me out!

I'm going out. Sorry.

Save energy, save energy, save energy!

Boss”? No, she's off tonight. Who is this?

Shit!

The video...

What's wrong? Did I surprise you?

- What is this? - What? The video.

Did you erase the parts?

Yes, I made the edits we talked about.

You erased the part showing the man's legs too, right?

That wouldn't make any sense.

You erased it because you didn't want to show your own legs.

- What's going on here? - Why did you kill that guy?

- Eh? - Are you getting revenge against your wife?

That must be it... Did you find a video with your wife and that man?

Were you blackmailing her? She was a victim, wasn't she?

You drove your wife crazy. You tormented her the same way you're tormenting me.

You're not being logical.

If you say so... then explain about this.

What were you doing with my address book?

I'lost it in the hotel. This is sufficient evidence!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry... I thought you were cured of your trauma.

But all this has pushed you back into it.

You're saying I'm crazy, right? I'll show you who's crazy!

- Wait, wait! Where are you going? - Don't!

- Come with me. - Let me go!

- Hello? 911... - Stop it!

- Stop! - Don't!

- Careful. - Let me go!

Come inside. Trust me!

Let me go!

My wife's suicide was caused by her misunderstanding.

I was working on a sexy story, interviewing prostitutes...

and they would call me at home sometimes.

They'd call day and night...

She became neurotic... she jumped from the apartment block...

Let her go!

He almost killed you...

Men can't be trusted.

How come you knew about this?

I've been suspicious of him...

ever since he left my place to follow you the other night.

Shall we call the police?

You'll have to testify...

You'll have to tell them it was self-defence.

Yes... please come over. Right away.

They're on the way.

- Where's the video? - What video?

The video showing the killing.

I heard you talking in my club...

It's a rare video... showing an actual murder.

Was ityou?

- Me?! - You were the killer.

What killer? Give me the video.

I heard the bell on your chain.

I heard the same thing on the video.

Why did you do it?

Why? I don't know why!

Maybe it was because I'm madly in love with you.

Are you saying I'm the cause?

Maybe I'm jealous... or maybe you needed to be punished.

Which do you think it was? Jealousy or punishment?

Punishment for what?

You shouldn't have gone with him.

He fucks all types of girls...

he takes their pictures and then sells the videos. He's nothing but trash.

He's the same kind of bastard that raped me!

I had a girlfriend who committed suicide because of him.

I don't think it's right...

a good girl dies, and that asshole gets away with it.

He had to die!

I couldn't forgive him!

But you weren't there that night.

My bartender called me and said you were stone-drunk.

I rushed over in time to see you leave with that other guy. Not a pretty sight!

What about my address book?

What about that? Did you put it in Muraki's desk?

I wanted you to come back to me.

It's okay... he deserved what he got.

He tricked his own wife into killing herself.

Actually, he tried to kill you.

That's okay... Muraki is a killer.

Let's go.

You know who the real killer was.

Come take a look...

Take a look at the killer lying down there.

Leave us alone! Stop! Die!

Chihiro!

Chihiro...

Be strong! Don't die!

Chihiro! Be strong, Chihiro!

Are you really OK?

I'm all right... my penis wasn't hurt!

But let me ask...

are you sure you don't have a knife?

Wait, wait...

Does it hurt?

I'm all right.
