TVO (1991) - full transcript

Hello?

Oh, Satsuki?

Why are you calling so late at night?

What's so scary, huh?

What a weird thing to say

It'll be fine

You have me, don't you?

Go ahead and laugh

You're just like my little sister

Listening to your story
reminded me of her

Your little sis?



Y'know, close by to our place

There was this small lake

Satsuki...

Her name was Satsuki

That Satsuki...

She tried to steal that lake

Steal a lake?

Go ahead and laugh

Because I was still in middle school...

She would still have been in elementary

I don't know why, but

She kept trying take
the lake using these buckets

As if doing something like that...

would ever make the waters recede



She'd do weird things from time to time

Hey...

Can you remember the first music
you heard when you were born?

Can you?

It was a lullaby

Y'know,

the sort of mom who would
baptise a human with music

She must have been...

A diva, yeah?

A mother's humming is the
first music we encounter, huh

A song to put her baby to sleep

"Sleep, sleep, so gently"

"Oh, so gently!"

What if the song you hear the
instant you die

is a lullaby sung by someone else?

That'd be sad

No, it would be beautiful

Either way

No, it matters

Hey

I get tired of people, y'know

That's fine

That's right

Satsuki's such a good girl

Who's that again?

My little sister

Oh yeah?

These days...

She paints

Who paints?

Satsuki...

Satsuki paints

You can really see angels
just by looking at this?

You can

I can't see anything

It takes a while

You've seen one?

Maybe I should show you one

An even more realistic one, maybe?

I can hear your heart beat
through your back

Does that mean the
sounds are in resonance?

Don't think too much about it

My little sister...

she has a natural high

You sure talk about your sis a lot

It's 'cause looking at you...

reminds me of her

You calling me a woman?

She was only close to me

Although she's my cute little sister

sometime's she so irritating

She says when she listens to my heart,

she can see whatever I'm thinking about

"You were the one in the wrong!"

She has such incredible passion

You could've just had her watch TV

She never watched TV,
ever since she was little

Kids are supposed to
like TV, but she hates it

Isn't that weird?

No idea what you're talkin' about

It's no good

I don't want you to meet her

It's February, right?

That's not important

This

What're you doing?

You're on the right

I'm on the left

How about spending the day
handcuffed to each other?

Hey!!

Strong wind today, huh?

What happened to the new one?

It's a work in progress

And its title?

"The Pink Quagmire"

You were thinking about old times, right?

When me and you were still little kids

Bingo

Being walked off to the teacher

You're sure something

This really calms me down

Hey, Satsuki

Find someone besides me

Find some else willing to
lend you their chest

I'm fine as long as I have you

That's not it

But, y'know

If someone becomes my lover,
it's not like they can cheat or anything

Because you'd know right away?

Yeah

Want to talk about men?

You have feelings for that guy?

I hate him

What does he do?

He's a murderer

Tell me about it

Yes

This is Yukimura

Kindly leave a message

Hey, Sis?

It's Satsuki

What's going on?

It's strange that you've not
been at home for three days

Did you not get my messages?

Sorry for calling back late

I'm a bit worried now

Please get back to me soon

This has been Satsuki

What do you intend to do?

About what?

This ain't some game

Got no idea what you're talkin' about

The woman, obviously!

Why'd you have to go and blow it all up?

I...

Want to end this here

Our relationship as father and son

Nice to meet you. I'm Takatsuka

I'm Kiyomi Yukimura's younger sister

You can still make it

To the crematorium

I can get you there if we hurry

I'm fine

That sort of thing doesn't matter

Not really grieving, are you

We all react differently, yeah?

You're doing your best

Thank you

This is what I'm into

Strange, right?

Much obliged

Still haven't told your parents
you came to Tokyo?

Why was my sister killed?

I would like to know the reason

We're still in the investigative stage

Do you have any suspects?

If you do, please tell me

I would like to meet them

You should stop playing at detective

So you're mocking me?

When did you last see your sister?

Last weekend

Along with you parents?

We live together

So if you came to Tokyo today...

you still haven't seen
your sister's room

You mean where she was murdered?

Come on in

How about some tea?

Ah, I'll do it

At my own discretion, since
this someone else's house

It's been left just as it was

Ko sure is lucky

It's for his cute, only son

He'd do anything for him

The boss was happy last time, yeah?

About that woman dying?

But I wonder how he
intends to take care of it

What is it now?
Aren't you the stubborn one

Didn't I say I'd told you all I knew?

This is Kiyomi's younger sister

What are you planning?

She said she wanted to meet Kihara

Don't fuck with me!

The owner of this club and all the
others we visited is Tatsumi Kihara,

45 years old

His son is Ko Kihara

Twenty four years old

I said son, but the family register
has it more like siblings

Seems pretty complicated

That guy, Ko Kihara...

He's an orphan

An orphan?

Your face is always set to angry, huh

Means you're an adult

Did the orphan kill my older sister?

There was a similar incident before

The bathroom mirror was
cracked and marked bloody

Although we don't know if it was
the same person or a copycat

In the case of the last incident?

The woman went missing

And her body still hasn't been found

Ko Kihara's mom is an interesting case

She was a preacher in a religious group

Tatsumi Kihara and his pops were
amongst the group's adherents

Now Ko, you see...

When he was three...

that overzealous preacher and a
religious believer commited joint suicide

'Course I still have no idea how
Kihara ended up looking after Ko

What sort of religion?

They say it's a religion
that focused on angels

Angels, yeah

Angels!

It's enough to make you laugh

Here we are

Looks like they're out

Satisfied yet?

I'll take you back

The hotel your parents are
staying at works, right?

Do you know some
other hotel? A cheap one?

Why do you want to stay somewhere else?

You could stay at my apartment

Although it's not like
I don't know a place

Just tell me a place I can stay

Underaged girl like you?
No place will have you

Welcome

It's the younger sister

Kiyomi's little sister?

She came

Here, of all places

Why are you being so accommodating to Ko?

I'm just an old man, see

Don't take the hit for him anymore

You surprised me

Ko Kihara?

I'm-

The stars are out

Sure are pretty

I'm Kiyomi's-

You're Kiyomi's what?

Her friend

She was an important person to me

Was to me, too

Kiyomi was...

What is it?

Kiyomi, y'know...

I killed her

I'm goin' in

Wanna swap old memories?

I'm begging you

Don't abandon me

Kiyomi?

Who was that?

So you came in here

You came to take care of Kiyomi?

Sorry

What for?

For killing the person you
were coming to help

You're not turning yourself in?

Why do you ask?

You're a killer, right?

If the police were any good they'd
be able to come after me themselves

Do you not think about how
much your victims' families suffer?

I do, but y'know...

So why did you kill her then?

Talking with you just pisses me off

Then I apologize for my sins

That's all?

I'll make it up to you by dying

You a bit wrong in the head?

Don't really care either way

Whether I'm free or they kill me

How old are you?

Pretty sure I'm older than you

Did you love Kiyomi?

Yeah

I loved her

Then why do it?

Stop using the standard logic

It'll make things more difficult

You're a spoiled child

Kiyomi said the same thing

Did you...

really kill her?

I sure did

Excuse me

I take issue with your actions

Don't give me that shit

There's no problem if I pay, yeah?

I'm out of cash!

Well this sucks

How much is it?

Shall we dance?

Why do you leave the TV on?

It's deadly serious

Kiyomi taught me about it

For example, if, like,

if you can't fall asleep
alone in your room

You watch the TV like this,
with nothing on

Helps you get to sleep

An even more realistic one, maybe?

What is it?

Did you really kill Koyomi?

Was Koyomi... a good person?

What're you talkin' about

Of course she was

What're you doing?

You a thief?

Don't go stealing stuff
at a killer's house

What're you looking for?

A leather jacket

A leather jacket with feathed wings
attached on the back

You hear about it from her?

Shoulda just said that

Better than snooping around like a thief

Wanna see it? I'll show you

Put it on

Try it on

What're you looking at?

Just looking

No!

It's wrong...

This is all wrong

What is?

Why?

Why?

Don't cry

That's enough

Whether you're a thief or whatever...

Don't cry

I was wrong

Don't cry

Hey, open up

I need to take a shit, a shit!

Open up-

You idiot

You getting serious?

No

If I go like this...

I feel like I'm going to be
able to see an angel

Kiyomi told you that, too?

About what?

Just how much have you heard?

Everything?

All I know is...

You're a killer, and...

I'm just a cat burglar

You were that close with her?

You know that crossdresser, Yumi?

I know 'im

This is just dumb

Were you her coworker?

Get out of here

Don't show your face 'round here again

Go home!

Don't have anywhere to go

You said you were leaving
your stuff on some floor

Go wherever that is

Just get out of here!

Said I don't have anywhere to go

I'll kill you

How is it?

I look cool?

We made it, y'know

Attaching feather by feather

When I was imagining it,
I thought it'd be cooler

Shut up with the knocking, will ya

What, it's you again?

I told you I didn't do nothin'

Got some proof? Show me

And that young girl?

Nothin' to do with it

I'm Kiyone Kawaraza

No need to come here

Kiyone Kawaraza?

What do we owe the honor to today?

I'm looking for someone

You're Satsuki Yukimura, Kiyomi's
high-schooler sister, yes?

You little...

You're a full-on liar, huh

And you aren't?

You're more of a liar
than I could ever be!

Idiot...

Excuse me

Acting all cool

Pretentious ass!

I won't be coming back here

See ya!

So we found some remains?

Got it

What's up with him?

You bastard...

What's with you? Why are you here?

'Cause we've both blown our cover

Why not speak frankly?

All riled up, huh?

Come on

I'm not avoiding anything

I'll kill you

Hey

Hey!

Don't just sleep like that!

C'mon!

I saw it!

You saw it?

I could see it

Kiyomi mentioned...

You've got an impressive 6th sense, huh?

Sixth sense?

She said you're special

Hey, do my fortune

Can I call you Ko?

Sure

Ko, I'm gonna go grab the luggage I left

I'll be right back!

That's alright, yeah?

We finally got some evidence

Wanna hop in?

Is this a threat?

As a detective, can't quite let you
stay at the murder suspect's house

Quiet out here, isn't it

I like these sorts of places

Come here often

You saw it, yeah?

All those cars with couples in them

You falling for that guy?

I hate him

When will you be going back home?

Give me something to bring back

It's a pager

If you're going to be here
for a while, better have it

Something comes up, I'll contact you

Want an extra freebie?

The freebie's in the car

Go ahead

Got something planned?

You get that all from my heart?

Just had the feeling

I'm full of jealousy!

In the end, everyone...

...just acts on their own
motives of profit and loss?

I...

...always felt inferior
to my younger sister

Back then, I always wanted
to get one up on her

But, you know...

Satsuki...

Only in her presence...

I didn't want to show her my negative side

Ko...

You can kill me

Wasn't it always your childhood dream?

Kill me

I'll let you see it

An angel appearing before you

Ko...

Just like people like my sister...

I'm also...

Falling for...

What've you got there?

Ko?

Ko...

You fooled me again, huh?

You lied to me

They gotta be worried about
you not comin' home

Who was that?

There's a warrant out for my arrest

They're gonna be coming for me

You're behind this, right?!

Don't know a thing about it!

-Then what's that?
-I had it from before!

You bitch...

I'm telling the truth!

Believe me!

-Get out of here
-No way!

Get out!

Then let's go together!

Ko, they're going to arrest you!

If the police come, you're done for!

Let's run together!

C'mon!

Ko...

You can call me Kiyomi...

I'll be Kiyomi

But you're not Kiyomi!

Ko...

The police are coming, right?

Are we going to stay here?

They're not coming?

I'm leaving

Gonna run with me?

What's your plan?

Me too...

I'm coming too!

If we're running, let's run

But before that...

I'm gonna do some painting

Let's go

Take that

Ah, wait!

What is it?

The jacket

-Who needs it?
-We need it!

Why not throw that thing away?

Might get a call

We're heading elsewhere

To your dad's?

You know everything, huh

He's also like your brother, yeah?

And a lover, maybe

Wait here

Oh my

What you come here for, killer?

Fuck off

Hello, Detective Takatsuka?

It's Satsuki Yukimura

I've been kidnapped. Come save me!

Now?

Right now, I'm...

somewhere I can smell the sea

I'll call again when I can

So they've finally got a warrant

So you killed that woman?

Don't worry

-I'll save you
-I don't need your help!

I'll run as far as I can

Pops...

This is farewell

You're just like your mom

I care about you

How idiotic

I'll kill you

Turn it on

Dawn just can't seem to break, huh

How far are we going?

Feeling tired?

Just a bit

Hey, killer

We're going to the place
we can find revenge

Revenge?

Isn't it obvious?

I've got a hated assassin
right in front of my face

How you planning on getting revenge?

You took my older sister from me

I can't forgive you

Can't forgive my sister, either

Or myself, for that matter

Letting things go this far

Doing things like this

But I can't apologise to anyone

What do you mean you
can't forgive yourself?

I'm going to get revenge
against my sister, too

How, though?

I already know how

I'm falling for you

I don't understand it myself either

At first...

At first, I was scared to
read what lay in your heart

I just found it scary

But now I'm in love with you!

Falling for you is what's scary!

I don't care about what's
true or a lie anymore!

Do you know what I'm thinking now?

I don't know...

I can't tell anymore...

It's gone...

Disappeared...

Ko...

Check it out

What is it?

Now this is interesting

There's nothing here

That's what makes it perfect

Hey

Ko

What's going to happen to us?

Well, I am a murderer

So... You really won't be
able to get off scot free

Hey

How 'bout we make a grave
for my sister here?

A grave?

We'll make it using that...

Crybaby

Thought murderers were tougher! Crybaby!

You idiot!

Hey!

How about we do this?

We had a funeral...

So how about next we do a wedding?

We can get married here and now

Good idea, yeah?

Nothing against it

I'm not surprised a desperate man
is a push-over

Do thou, Satsuki Yukimura,

take Ko Kihara as your...?

In good times and bad,

and in fun times?

To love in perpetuity; do you so vow?

I do

Ko Kihara...

Ko Kihara, the murderer!

Do you vow to love me?

You're going to keep
loving me forever, right?

I wonder

Can people really maintain love that long?

Go ahead and vow!

Just had a good idea

What?

Yeah

What is it? Where are you now?

Don't go anywhere!
I'll be there right away

Where is that?

This is it! This is love!

We're racking up unforgivable sins

Yeah, that's true

Oh look

An angel

Just kidding

You should know I don't intend to die

Satsuki...

Time for you to get out

I'm gonna go give this car back

So get out and wait here

Here?

Get out!

You're going to come back?

I don't know

I'm getting out

Take this with you

You gonna wait?

I don't know

You...

You think you're going
to get away with this?

I'm sorry

You really are a murderer...

Nothing ever ends!

None of it ever ends!

Ko!
