A Shinya TSUKAMOTO Film Hey, hey, hold it. What the hell!! What the hell!! What's happening! What's going on here! Let me think... Let me think... Can't think! What's going on?! It's got to be a dream. A fucking dream! That must be it. I won't feel pain if it is a dream. What's happening? Where the hell was I before this? This can't be real. Think! Think, man! It's not a dream. Shit... think... Damn it! Lost my memory by chance? Calm down. I'm sure I'll remember soon. Hell! What was? Where did I come from? Where? Perhaps... The war may have broken out? Was I taken prisoner? Or has some kind of cult brainwashed me? They did steal my memory then? Was I a member of the cult? No I wasn't. Maybe I was? No way. Or perhaps some rich pervert is playing a trick on me? God damn it! Fuck! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I found myself here, in the middle of nowhere. Umm... can you tell me... ...why we are here? You can't either. You are bleeding, too! This must be our last resting place. I will... ...get out of here. What about you? What? But how? I've crawled all over the place. There's no way out. We'll die before reaching the exit. We'll get out the way we came. See the ditch over there. I think the ditch is where people enter Some drowned. Some managed to crawl up here. But they all end up being mutilated and brought here. Who'd do that? Don't know. It seems to be a really big and dark thing. I wonder if it is a human being. You find yourself in total darkness... ...being dismembered... ...and floating in the water. If you see nothing ahead... you eventually end up here... and floating in the water. More or less. That's what we will end up like. You will be one of them if you don't move now. But how are we going to move? Tell me how? You are remembering someone's face, right? Me too. If you open your mind... how can I put it... you will see a flash of cherished memory... I saw something else, too. I saw fireworks. Fireworks... fireworks... fireworks... I used to like them a lot. I was watching them... ...over the cold landscape. There is no sign of anyone setting off the fireworks. It's as if the fireworks had a life of their own. Hey... Hey, don't sleep. Did I sleep long? Seconds... I woke you right away. I just had a dream of waking up somewhere. A dream of being awake? I found myself... ...waking up alone in a room. It was already dark. I must have dozed off. I remember the TV was showing a still image of a town. The weather forecast... ...was scrolling at the bottom of the screen all the time. I felt lonely. It was like falling into a place like this. It was so scary! It may be the place you were before here. Nothing spectacular is waiting for us... ...even if we get out of here anyway. Perhaps. I must go. Are you sure you're not coming? Alright. I'm off now. You're serious. I've got no time. Hey, hey... You can't go that way. Come with me? Thanks. What?! Nothing. Just go! Go! What now? What?! We'll dive from now on. No... We're finished. That hurt! My stomach... Let's go back. We should be back. Yes, we do. Get back there. Listen to me, will you? We'll think when we get back. I remember something. I wanted to go somewhere. Someone imprisoned me here... before I could run away. Somewhere? You mean a war broke out... and we're imprisoned? I doubt it? I knew it. A rich pervert is playing a trick on us for fun? Still strange... Why the hell would anyone set up such a grand stage... ...based on your fears and then imprison us? What business does he have with you? It is probably to make me to want to go back. "Go back"? Where to? What are you talking about? Please do not give up! I'm sorry. God damn it! I knew it! That fucking pervert... ...is doing this! So you got out... good... good... Are you sure of that? Yes. Getting away with me? Yes. I wonder what went wrong. Never mind that. I'm ready to escape. Someone imprisoned me here before I could run away. I'll help you. I'll save you.
