this way
Zoom in closer!
closer! closer!
Focus on the eyes
I told you zoom in
Get a lower angle!
Take a side profile of the face!
Shut up!
This is my business.
What are you doing?!
You're annoying me. Why don't you
develop the film by yourself?
You were supposed to print them!
I got tired of it.
That's a breach of contract!
So fire me.
I don't need this.
What?! Hey, where
are you going?!
So you think you're a blue turtle, then.
Don't you have to go to work?
I Will.
You got money?
That's how I got this room.
But I'm having
a hard time right now.
It was better just
being the other woman.
I had no problems
before I met you.
What a pity.
I'll be rich before
I turn 30.
Only one year left...
I still have a year.
Peace!
I'm tired of that pose!
How are they?
Great!
You two are good
at crime scene photography.
But he never listens to me.
Don't fight with him, okay?
Try talking to him more.
Your work could save our magazine!
People love gory photos.
I don't think so...
Maybe you don't understand because
you women bleed every month!
Well, you should keep
in contact with him.
Alright.
Oh hey, I'm pretty busy.
Do you think you could
attend this with Makiko?
- With Makiko?
- Tell her I'm sorry.
- No problem.
- Thank you.
See you.
I liked that movie.
It wasn't my cup of tea...
Oh, so it was his choice.
You're a cute couple.
I don't know.
Why don't we go for a drink?
I have a bit of a headache,
so should probably head home.
- I see.
- Sorry.
These are very rare photos!
I love this shutter speed.
Don't be stubborn!
Come on, I just want to talk a little.
Thanks! Give me a second!
I'm ready.
2,0,9...
3, 8, 8, 0...
Shun Tatsukawa.
See you soon. Thanks!
This is Kaji, the one
who just called.
Come in.
There's no one else here.
That's a nice telescope.
Staring at your neighbor's ass?
It gets boring just
looking at the stars.
I guess so.
As I told you on the phone,
I'm a photographer.
I'm interested in your photos.
Where'd you take them?
Why do you want to know?
I just thought it might be the
exact moment of the murder.
I have a friend, her name is Handy.
For 1,000 yen, she'll jerk you off.
That's why they call her Handy.
But if I give her 10.000 yen,
she becomes Pussy.
Understand?
Are you kidding me?
1/4000 of a second...
That shutter speed will be the theme
of the next photo club project.
And the culture club will
focus on background music.
I talked too much last time.
I wasn't feeling too well.
I envy that you women can bring up
that excuse a few days every month.
I'm serious when I say you should think
more while working with freelancers.
We all liked your photos.
We're currently writing an article
called Who is the Ripper?
Why not offer a reward?
We're originally a literary magazine.
We don't want a sleazy reputation.
You should do whatever
it takes to survive.
Oh, right.
You're a voyeur.
You wouldn't understand.
I think you're pure at head
even if you pretend to be a badass.
And you try to be pig-headed.
So you want to team up with me?
I hope your writing
is on par with my photos.
Oh well, guess we'll find out.
I don't know about this part...
It should be more abstract.
But the first part feels very real.
It's not very effective.
What do you think?
I think that's fine.
- Hello.
- Yes.
This is Eatsukawa.
I can't reach my phone right now
At the end of this recording,
please count 1, 2 and 3.
You may then leave a message.
If you're enjoying the music,
you may enjoy it free of charge.
You're welcome.
My name is Noriko Okumura.
I have a question regarding
your photos.
My number is 372-1411.
I'm available anytime after 8 p. m.
Late calls are fine too. Please get
back to when you can. Thank you.
Did you reach the photographer?
I left him a message yesterday
but he still hasn't called back.
Why do you like this one?
Call it intuition.
I see a big story here.
You should focus on the Ripper.
Readers gave good feedback
on our Ripper article.
The sales department
is busy for once!
Is the pilot for the
commercial done?
Yeah.
Can you hand me the cutter?
Hey, that's dangerous!
- Aren't you going to use it?
- Yeah, but still...
I'm going for some beef soba.
You have unique tastes.
This desk is kind of cold...
Let's put in some overtime.
I can't reach my phone right now.
At the end of this recording,
please count 1, 2 and 3.
You may then leave a message.
I brought a present for you!
When did you get here?
Here, Happy Birthday!
But it's a lonely one, huh?
You think you're a golden snake then.
Why is no one ever here?
Where are your parents?
You here to ask about
my photos again?
Of course.
One day, my father found
himself another woman.
Soon after, my mother
found herself another man.
I don't care either way,
so long as they send me money.
- Yeah?
- Where were you? I've been calling!
- Bitch, don't bother me!
- Makiko got stabbed!
- Who?
- Makiko! Go and take pictures!
How did you take them?
I just snuck past the cops.
He cut open most of her belly.
He's a freak.
We don't want to call
him that just yet.
I think you should.
Vague articles leave them
wanting more.
Is that how it works...
Noriko wrote this script
for our commercial pilot.
Please take this copy and watch it.
I want you to shoot the poster.
Sure. Where is my writer,
by the way?
The police are interviewing her.
She received a threatening phone call.
That's awful.
Who are you?
300 yen.
What do you want?
I take girls pictures for a fee
around town on the weekends.
It's the same price as a coffee.
Won't you buy it?
Not interested.
I see.
Then...
How about this one?
You want me to buy the negative.
You want to sleep with me?
Not a chance in hell,
you little shit!
How about you got back
to learning your ABCs, kiddo?
It was pretty funny, though.
Try to be more romantic next time.
Can you help me?
With what?
I told you about that
photographer kid.
You did?
I want you to follow him.
Why?
I need to know more about him.
Do you think you could
ever cut?
Cut what?
A person.
I don't know...
Hey!
I want to know more.
- About me?
- Yeah.
Not knowing is better.
I'm nosy. That's why
I became a photographer.
No! Stop it!
No!
No!
No!
No! Stop it!
What's your problem?
- I can't...
- What?
I was once raped by three men.
- That's why...
- You're scared of men?
- I wasn't one of the guys who raped you.
- Screw you!
No matter what you say...
You'll never understand how I feel.
Do all men scare you?
They beat me to within an inch of my life.
I was hospitalized for three weeks.
How could you ever
understand how I feel?
Hello, this is Okumura.
I can't reach my phone right now
Please leave your message
after the beep.
Thank you for calling.
It been a while since you
first came here for counseling...
I didn't know that this physical
treatment scared you.
Hey, it's Kajii!
The kid is the Ripper!
Got it. Go get a picture!
Where is he?
Where is the knife?
I don't have a knife.
Those two pictures in the magazines...
My rape? A lie.
Hospitalized for three weeks?
Another lie.
Being scared of men?
The biggest lie!
I'm a woman and
yet I'm not a woman.
I have neither penis nor vagina.
Seriously?
Yes, I was born deformed.
However...
Once a month I'm irritable,
though I don't have a period.
I was seeing a psychiatrist.
But...
The first picture...
We did it together.
This is the place where
we killed her.
I met her while walking
in this ven/ park.
I had the sudden urge
to tell someone my secret.
But that woman just looked
at me funny and laughed!
I can still hear her laugh.
I was following my own shadow
When I killed Makiko,
that guy took my picture.
Happy Birthday, she said!
What should I be happy about?
- Did you also kill Miki?
- Not a good one.
- Did you?!
- She followed him.
But when I heard about it at the
office, something was different.
You killed her to get the pictures,
even though she was still alive.
What are you talking about?
Do you know where
this picture was taken?
From right over there.
KODAMA 256 departed
from Tokyo at 14:16.
He took my picture by accident.
1/4000.
Can you love me as a woman
even if I'm not a woman?
You're insane.
Not at all.
I'm giving you the chance to take
a once-in-a-lifetime photo.
Get your camera.
Look through the viewfinder.
Hello, do you know
Parallax magazine?
I'm the editor and he's my assistant.
- Can we interview you for the magazine?
- Wow, sure! How exciting!
Then let us take your photo first.
Can you come with us?
Don't be nervous. Relax!
Good! Good!
And smile!
Just like that!
You're very cute!
Okay, one more!
