Blood (2009) - full transcript
Where does love and lust lead you...if you never die? What destiny awaits an immortal? Is there a destination for immortal love and lust? Shigenori Takechi of IZO incorporated these philosophical questions into his screenplay. Ten Shimoyama of Shinobi turned it into stylish and punk cinematic entertainment.
There he is!
Stop!
Soji Okita!
Prepare to die!
I want to perform...
my duty...
until the very...
last moment
Help me
Setagaya Maid Murder Case
Some tea, sir
Thanks
Getting accustomed here?
Sure
Sir
Why'd that hotshot
detective get sent here?
Mind your own business
and get back to work
Damn, it's hot
Miyako...
Rozmberk...
Miyako Rozmberk was
the employer of the victim
I hear she's got some
Czech blue blood in her
Been 14 years, huh?
She was gorgeous then
I was assigned to
the cold case squad
where I did nothing
Special Investigation Unit my ass
So I decided to eyeball a case before
the statute of limitations expired
Setagaya Maid Murder Case:
Information Wanted
A maid was iced in
a mansion in Setagaya ward
Investigators suspected
someone in the house
But everyone, even the other
servants, had solid alibis
The case went cold and
was shelved three years ago
Setagaya Maid Murder Case:
Information Wanted
Any help is appreciated
Justice for our daughter
The mansion where it took place
is gone, replaced by an empty lot
Oh, yeah?
The vic's parents were still
handing out leaflets nearby
Did you meet them?
Yes
They wondered what the police
has been doing for 14 years
The mother was crying
There isn't much time
before the deadline!
For their sake, we need to
sift through the...
Shut up!
Hoshino
Sir?
Why do you think you're
stuck here with me?
It's so you can cool it
while I keep an eye on you
Anyway, did you check out
Miyako's current location?
I have the address
Just keep it on the downlow
Sir...
Now get outta here
After exposing some
bigwig politicos for corruption,
I was booted from
the Public Security Bureau
Some things never change
Some crimes go unpunished
What's the point of
being a detective now?
Dammit
Excuse me, but is Miyako...
uh, is Miyako Rozmberk home?
I'd like to ask a few questions
You traveled quite a distance
What brings the police here today?
My apologies
I'm Detective Hoshino from
the Special Investigation Unit
This is wine!
I can't drink on the job
May I have water instead?
She's deaf
Oh, I see
I apologize
So, how may I help you?
I came here today...
to talk to you about
the murder that took place...
at your former mansion
in Setagaya 14 years ago
I believe I've already told
everything I know
Besides, I prefer not to
remember that time
Of course, I understand
However, the victim's family...
I've already provided as much
financial support as I can
No, that's not what I mean
See, the case is about to expire
Expire?
Right
It's my job to investigate
unsolved cases before they expire
I want to perform my duty
until the very last moment
The very last moment?
Yes
Such familiar words...
Actually, I know who did it
Ukyo Kuronuma
Ukyo... Kuronuma?
That's his present name, anyway
His present name?
But why would you come out
with this now?
You don't believe me?
It's not that
But would you happen
to have any proof?
You should check yourself
You're a detective, right?
From: Takita
About Ukyo Kuronuma: He's 33,
from Tokyo, no prior record
He runs MZA, a hedge fund
laundering slush funds
But you won't ever see
his face out in the open
Let's check this out
Mr. Ukyo
The VP is finished
I hope you enjoyed yourself
Thanks to you,
I feel decades younger
Sir, I've received some rather
intriguing information from him
Anyway, I'll come again
Where am I?
Let me go
No...
Let me go!
Please, let me go!
Sir
Everything is ready
Help me
What's going on?
No!
Awfully rude of you
This is the owner's private space
Why'd you do that?
Are you guys even human?
Ukyo!
Ukyo, you bastard,
you killed that girl 14 years ago
just as you did now, huh?
14 years ago?
What're you talking about?
Who'd you hear that from?
From Miyako
Miyako Rozmberk
Is something wrong, sir?
You little...
Still human, I see
What?
It means you're mortal
You can die...
without knowing eternity
Dispose of him
Yes, sir
Hey, wait!
Seems you were quite the detective
Sad to see you go
You? It can't be!
You're finally awake
You've been reborn
Now, you can converse with your heart
What happened to me?
We now share the same blood, you and I
You'll roam in eternity,
feeding on the blood of the living
That's your life now
Eternity...
You're a special one, able to
receive my baptism of blood
Special?
Those who receive our blood will die
except for certain people
with a special type of blood
So I'm... one of those exceptions?
Yes
I found out the first day
you came here
It's been 1 60 years since
I've met a man with this blood
1 60 years?
Is this some sick joke?
Accept your fate
The more you resist,
the longer your suffering
You blessed me with sacred blood...
I have no words to thank you
So who is it that managed to
toy with a man like yourself?
A girl with blue eyes
Blue eyes?
She may have the same blood as us
Why does Ukyo...
continue to take the blood
of young women?
He loathed seeing me
partake in other men
For me and my body...
to survive time, I need
a large amount of blood
He couldn't bare it
and became unhinged
Refusing my blood,
he took blood from my maid...
and disappeared
I want to perform my duty...
until the very last day
Have you spilled enough innocent blood?
You're one to say,
after the thousands of
lives you've taken
I wish...
you would've let me die that day
Anyway,
mind telling me why
that detective came here?
He showed up at my door hoping to
solve the case from 14 years ago
That's all it is
Don't tell me...
that he's your new...
He doesn't suit you
He's too straight
Probably
Reminds me of you
After I left you,
I was a mere shell of a man
It was but a blink of an eye for us
Not for me
I'm still...
You...
You need to find your own path
Just forget about me
Soji...
You belong to me, Soji
I've forgotten that name already
Brigitte! Brigitte!
Hoshino ran away
Don't worry
So he was planning to murder
the Vice President, huh?
Quite the vicious detective
you had stashed here
Inspector Hoshino?
That's me
Please come to the station
Why?
You're under arrest
On what charge?
What the hell's going on?
Dammit
Shit!
Stop!
Still human, I see
It means you're mortal
You can die...
without knowing eternity
You'll roam in eternity,
feeding on the blood of the living
That's your life now
Dammit, you've got the
police under your thumb, too?
The men upstairs have
a weakness for money and women
Who can blame them?
It's rotten
Everything...
Rotten, exactly
The country, the people...
Nothing's changed at all
And yet,
here's a detective following a case...
that's about to expire anyway
All for some girl who'll
die eventually, anyway
So what if her death happens
to be slightly unfortunate?
You bastard
For that one girl,
her entire world ended
All because you killed her
You little shit
So Miyako made you
I need you gone
Blame your blood for that
My blood?
Right, for being born with
the same blood as me
Erase him, for good
Sir, baptize me with
your blood, please!
Bestow me with the
same blood he has!
Then I'll snuff him
You want to die, Yokochi?
Only the chosen can endure
our baptism of blood
What the hell happened to you?
Interested in roaming
eternal darkness?
Eternal darkness?
We're incapable of dying
All that's left is
to wander through time
No thanks
Not interested in your
stinking eternity
Very well
Then enjoy your endless despair
Soji
Don't
Soji?
I've forgotten that name already
You're the one who made me
And yet that man is more
important to you than me?
What the hell am I doing?
Can't even catch
one little murderer
You can't forgive Soji, can you?
What about me?
If you've committed a crime,
then I can't forgive you
But it doesn't matter anymore
After all, I can't survive
without drinking your blood
How old are you, Brigitte?
Ah, you're 323 years old...
What? 323 years old?
How time flies
I found her in Nagasaki
She was born to a Japanese woman
raped by a Portuguese man
Hard enough being deaf back then,
much less a half breed
She has the same blood as me, then?
No
Then how can she keep living
for over 300 years?
She drinks a drop of my blood
with wine, every ten days
Then she can avoid aging,
and converse with her heart
I see
So you're a mortal
I can't age,
I can't die,
and no matter how much
I battle Ukyo,
it'll never be settled
Are you hurt?
I'm sorry
You've become strong
Thanks to you
No, it's because of Miyako's blood
There is one way...
To do what?
To defeat Ukyo
Tell me
While he's in a state
of apparent death,
turn him to ashes before
the blood revives him
If you seal his ashes in a lead box,
his body won't be resurrected
Though his flesh may be destroyed,
his soul won't disappear
The soul continues its existence...
in the trapped darkness
Forever
Catch anything?
Nope
Hoshino...
Been a while
You been well?
I'm sorry for causing you
so much trouble, boss
I'm no boss anymore
They agreed to call it
a resignation, though
Still gotta pay off my loans
I'm terribly sorry
Don't apologize
I'm glad I quit the police
This way I don't have to arrest you
Sir
I found our guy
You did?
Yes
A businessman named Ukyo Kuronuma
I'll be making contact soon
That's great
Sir
I...
A big one
Thanks
Is this carp?
Finally bagged one
"Bagged one," huh?
You've still got the touch
Are you okay?
You were saying?
I wanted you to know...
I'm going to go somewhere far
Sad to hear that
Take care
Sure, I'll see you around
Hoshino
Don't you die
I knew you'd come
The cruelty of eternity...
The folly of loving another...
You taught me all of this
I'm not strong enough to endure...
endless days of solitude
Soji
I should be her only victim
I can't let a criminal like you
get away
I need her in my life
Yet she chose you,
and you won't forgive me
So you have to go
Wanna start it?
You couldn't possibly fathom
the futility of eternity
How much innocent blood
have you spilled?
You're just a murderer
You're calling me a criminal?
That's right
You're no different
What?
We wander eternity feasting
on the blood of the living
We're both victims
I alone can love Miyako
Brigitte!
Have you no regard for life?
You'll understand one day
You're just a criminal!
Send us...
to our sleep...
Our eternal sleep
Forgive me
The soul continues its existence...
in the trapped darkness
Forever
I was...
nothing but a pawn...
in the eternal love story...
of Ukyo...
and Miyako
