Operation: Monte Carlo Ep. 9 There's No Home For You HereA Screenplay by Sayuri HiroshiYuuto continues his search for the truth about his past and finds out grave details while the other members of the group search for Ninette. Will they find her and what will happen to Yuuto? EXT. STREET. EARLY MORNING. Daisuke opens his eyes. He slowly gets up on all fours and looks around to see Shinobu laying in a pile of broken crates, Ryoichi and Kazuo lying down behind him, and Yuuto lying down to his left. All of them are soaked from the rain the previous night.He stands up and limps over to Shinobu and shakes him. DAISUKE Shinobu? Shinobu! Daisuke checks his vitals and exhales in relief. He goes over to each of the other members and checks them, ending with Yuuto. He sits down and pulls his phone out of his jacket pocket. He realizes it has suffered from water damage and he tosses it onto the ground. DAISUKE What do we do now? WOMAN Sir! Daisuke looks over and sees a young couple running toward him. They stop once they have reached him. WOMAN What happened? Do you need help? DAISUKE It's a long story and I'm fine. MAN What about your friends? DAISUKE I might need help getting them in the van. MAN I will help. DAISUKE Thank you. The woman helps him up and they start moving Yuuto towards the van. INT. HOTEL. LATE MORNING. All of the men have recovered and are sitting in the living room. All are silent. Yuuto jumps up. YUUTO I'm going to find her. DAISUKE You will do no such thing. YUUTO So we're just going to sit around here and do nothing? We were hired to help her. DAISUKE By her father that doesn't care if she lives or dies. SHINOBU Yuuto, we don't even have a lead on where he might be. Running around mindlessly is just wasting time. YUUTO I can't accept that we can't do anything. DAISUKE Yuuto, you're letting your emotions for her lead you, not logic. We want to help her, but right now we can't. Shinobu starts to leave the room. SHINOBU I'm going to the lab to see if I can find anything out. Maybe I can find something in our database. He leaves. Ryoichi and Kazuo stand and begin to leave. RYOICHI We're going to go check in Shinagawa. There is usually some yakuza activity down there, maybe we can find some clues. The two of them exit. Daisuke stands and walks to Yuuto. DAISUKE I know you want to save her but we can't if we have nothing. Yuuto grabs Daisuke's collar. YUUTO I can't just sit around and wait on a clue. Daisuke pulls Yuuto's hands off. DAISUKE I understand, but right now, there is nothing else we can do. If we do find her, I'm going to need you to stay here. YUUTO What? DAISUKE I can't help but think your emotions will get in the way of saving her. I can't allow the mission to go awry because of that. YUUTO I promised her I would be there. DAISUKE This is my decision as leader. Please do not argue with me, Yuuto. You know as well as I do that you are unstable when you are emotional. Please understand I'm doing this for the group and Ninette. Yuuto walks out of the room and leaves. Daisuke sits back down and leans back. INT. SEIICHI'S APARTMENT. LATE MORNING. Seiichi's apartment is a high-end loft overlooking the city. There are two suited yakuza members on either side of the doorway leading to the main door. Ninette is sitting on the couch with her legs and arms crossed. She hears a door open and looks over to see Seiichi coming in through the entrance hall. SEIICHI Good afternoon, princess. I assume you've been taken care of. NINETTE I really hope I don't have to deal with you any longer. SEIICHI You still expect your bodyguards to come help you? I'm letting you know that is not going to happen. NINETTE I know they will come after me. SEIICHI Damsel in distress, always thinking she's going to be saved by her knights in shining armour. They have no idea where you are or where to find me. There is no way we'll be hearing from them until our marriage is over. NINETTE Marriage? I told you I'm not marrying you. SEIICHI You have no other choice. I have the place booked for tonight. NINETTE What? Seiichi walks slowly towards her. SEIICHI I've had this wedding planned for almost six years. (he leans into Ninette) You're going to go through with whether you like it or not. Ninette spits in his face. He wipes his face before he slaps her so hard, it knocks her over. SEIICHI You better act like a lady. Don't spit it people's faces. Ninette looks at him. She goes to punch him but he stops her fist. He pulls out a switchblade and cuts the palm of her hand. She screams and falls back into the couch. Seiichi rolls his eyes and walks towards one of the guards. SEIICHI Clean her up. Her dress is in the bedroom. Make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. He leaves the room. Ninette stares at her wounds and cries. INT. SHINOBU'S LAB. NOON. Daisuke enters the lab and sees Shinobu typing on his computer. A picture of Seiichi is displayed on one of the monitors. DAISUKE Have you found anything? SHINOBU I haven't. DAISUKE Have you checked in Shinagawa? SHINOBU No, why? DAISUKE Ryoichi and Ishikawa brought it up. All of the sectors are based in the direction that correlates to the elements of the Wiccan tradition. Wind, water, and earth we have already found. North, East and West have been taken care of. All that's left is fire and South. In the circle of wards, Shinagawa is the south most ward. That's why there are on their way there. SHINOBU That does make sense. That will also narrow down my search. I will check all the records in Shinagawa now. DAISUKE Alright. SHINOBU What is Yuuto doing? DAISUKE I told him to stay out of it. I hate to say it but he might hurt us trying to find and save Ninette. SHINOBU You're right though. I know he cares about her but its better to be safe than sorry. DAISUKE Do you think he'll try anything? SHINOBU He listens to you, Daisuke. He hasn't done anything against what you have said yet. I'm sure he won't try anything. DAISUKE I mean, not with the mission but maybe, suicide. Shinobu stops what he is doing and looks at Daisuke. SHINOBU Why would you think that? DAISUKE Well, if I were him and I felt like my members couldn't trust me to carry out a mission to save my girlfriend, I wouldn't know what what to do. SHINOBU They're not dating. DAISUKE Sure seems like it. Have you seen the way those two look at each other? SHINOBU If you looked close enough, you would still see that Yuuto is extremely uncomfortable when she's around him. Daisuke sits down. Shinobu continues to work. DAISUKE I guess you're right. SHINOBU Besides, we have already discussed that she can't marry him. DAISUKE Her father has disowned her and she swears she is not going back to Monaco. I can't help but think she really doesn't care about marrying nobility. SHINOBU Yes, but in the state that Yuuto is in, marriage is probably not the best thing. DAISUKE Why do you say that? SHINOBU Personalities can form from new experiences. Can you imagine the personality that might develop if he's exposed to sex? DAISUKE What makes you think he hasn't already done it? Shinobu turns and gives him an 'are you serious' look. DAISUKE Yeah, he really doesn't seem like that type of guy. What's the worst that could happen if that happened? SHINOBU Rape. DAISUKE Oh, yeah that would not be good. INT. PSYCHOLOGIST'S OFFICE. NOON. Aina is reading a book in her office when she hears a knock on her door. She walks over to open it, revealing Yuuto. He seems impatient. AINA Yuuto-san, I was waiting for you to come back. YUUTO I want to finish it. I want to finish this memory. He walks past her and lays on the couch. Aina closes the door. AINA I would like to inform you that a friend of yours came by yesterday and warned me about helping you recover this memory. Yuuto sits up and looks at her. YUUTO Was it Ninette? AINA I cannot say but they are worried that this might bring out a darker part of you. I am willing to help you if you wish to continue but if you feel that it is getting to personal, please let me know and I will stop. YUUTO I want to know the truth. If this memory is the reason I'm like this, I need to know. Aina taps his shoulder for him to lay down and she pulls up a chair to sit in. AINA Do you have something to focus on? Yuuto grabs the necklace that Ninette gave him. YUUTO Yes. AINA Alright, now close your eyes. Focus on the necklace. Relax, let your body relax. Yuuto relaxes, his hand relaxes around the necklace. AINA Yuuto? YUUTO Yes? AINA Are you still here? YUUTO Yes. AINA Take me to your father's murder. FLASHBACK. The memory of Ichiro fighting the woman plays in Yuuto's perspective. Ichiro throws the woman onto the table that breaks under her. The woman grabs the knife and tackles Ichiro, his head lands right at Yuuto's feet. The woman holds the knife above her head with one hand and holds Ichiro's face down with the other. The knife comes down into Ichiro's neck. Blood splatters onto the woman and on Yuuto. Ichiro dies. AINA (voice over) What is happening, Yuuto? Yuuto crawls over to Ichiro and holds his hand out to his blood covered face. YUUTO I crawled over to my father, he's... dead. I reach out to touch his face. The woman grabs Yuuto's arms. The voice sounds scared. ??? Yuuto! Don't touch him. He is not going to take you away from me. The woman picks up Yuuto and holds him close. ??? I'm not going to let anyone take you away from me. YUUTO (voice over) She is holding me. She doesn't want anyone to take me away. AINA (voice over) Is she familiar? YUUTO (voice over) Her voice sounds like I've heard it before but its more malevolent. ??? You're mine, Yuuto. Her hair slides away from her face revealing a younger Sumiko. YUUTO (voice over) No! No! AINA (voice over) What is it? YUUTO(NOBORO) (screaming, voice over) No! She's coming closer! Don't let her in! AINA (voice over) Noboro, who's coming? YUUTO(NOBORO) (screaming, voice over) She's getting closer. She's...almost...developed. Yuuto continues to scream. AINA (voice over) Yuuto, when I snap my fingers, you will wake up. One, two, three. Aina snaps. INT. PSYCHOLOGIST'S OFFICE. NOON. Yuuto sits up quickly. He is breathing heavy. AINA What did you see, Yuuto? YUUTO Did she really kill him? AINA Is that what you saw? Yuuto turns to her. YUUTO Please tell me it wasn't real. Please tell me it was a planted memory. I don't want it to be real. Aina bows her head. AINA I do not plant memories, Yuuto-san. Yuuto buries his face in his hands. AINA Who did you see, Yuuto-san? YUUTO My mother. My mother is the woman in the blue dress. AINA Does this have anything to do with the new personality? YUUTO I cannot tell. It's still dark. FLASHBACK. Sumiko looks at Ichiro's box at the rehabilitation center. SUMIKO I loved him dearly. I miss him terribly. INT. PSYCHOLOGIST'S OFFICE. NOON. Yuuto looks at Aina. YUUTO Is it possible for someone to kill a person they love? AINA Why do you ask? YUUTO When I saw her recently she said that she missed him and loved him. Why would she kill someone she loved? AINA Didn't you say he was trying to take you away? YUUTO Yes. AINA It sounds like your mother has some sort of attachment disorder. People with severe attachment disorders will do anything to keep the person close, even if it means killing someone. Most mothers have some degree of attachment to their child. If someone threatens to take their child away from them, they will fight back. Yuuto looks away from her. INT. SHINAGAWA PRINCE HOTEL. NOON. Ryoichi and Kazuo walk up to an elderly woman who is sweeping in the wedding chapel. RYOICHI Excuse me, may I ask you a question? ELDERLY WOMAN Of course. Ryoichi pulls out a picture of Seiichi from his pocket. RYOICHI My name is Kawano Ryoichi, this is my partner, Ishikawa Kazuo. We were wondering if you recognized this man. His name is Sakamoto Seiichi. ELDERLY WOMAN Oh, yes. He came in here this morning to set up a wedding for tonight. He said he was marrying a girl named Nellie, Nina, something with an N... KAZUO Ninette? ELDERLY WOMAN Yes, that was it. He scheduled it for twenty-two o'clock. Are you friends of his? KAZUO Uh, yes. We're friends of his. We heard he was getting married but we didn't know where. ELDERLY WOMAN Well, come tonight. RYOICHI We will, thank you. Ryoichi and Kazuo walk away from the woman. RYOICHI This is perfect. All we need to do now is catch them during the wedding and rescue Ninette. KAZUO I'll call Uchida and tell him the plan. I'll have him meet us in a room here. RYOICHI Alright. INT. SHINOBU'S LAB. AFTERNOON. A beeping noise comes from Shinobu's computer. He pulls up a list of phone records, one highlighted. He looks up the number and it is the number to the Shinagawa Prince Hotel. His phone rings and he answers. SHINOBU Yeah? RYOICHI (over phone) We found the location that Seiichi is going to marry Ninette at. SHINOBU What's the name? RYOICHI (over phone) It's the east chapel at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel. It's going to be a twenty-two o'clock. SHINOBU That makes our information consistent. I was able to locate a criminal record for Sakamoto Seiichi and it included a phone number. I just got a list of phone records from Shinagawa and Seiichi's phone leads to that hotel. RYOICHI (over phone) Perfect! Tell Daisuke to meet us at the hotel in room three thirteen. We will prepare there and crash the wedding. SHINOBU Will do. Good job! Shinobu hangs up his phone. SHINOBU Hang in there, Ninette. We'll get you out of this mess. Shinobu opens his phone and dials. EXT. PARK. AFTERNOON. Yuuto is walking along the path. Parts of his memory start flashing. A flashback of Sumiko taking a cigarette to Yuuto's arm. Yuuto stops walking. A flashback of Sumiko slipping a small bit of rat poison in a soup getting ready to feed Yuuto. Yuuto holds the sides of his head. A flashback of Sumiko cutting Yuuto's leg with a razor. Yuuto starts to breath heavy. He pulls out his phone and dials. AINA (over phone) Hello? YUUTO Nishimura-san, I keep seeing memories in my head. They won't stop. AINA (over phone) What are the memories of? YUUTO They're of my mother. I remember her burning me and hurting me. I remember her poisoning me. But they're memories I don't remember having. The ones I do remember are of her treating the wounds, not making them. I'm so confused. AINA (over phone) It sounds like the memories you are seeing now belong to one of your alters who is losing control of your unconscious. That will happen. YUUTO Can you explain her change in behavior? Why would she hurt me then try to heal me? AINA (over phone) Without examining her myself, the only thing I can assume is that she has Munchausen syndrome by proxy. It is where a parent will afflict pain or illness to the child so that they may treat it to get the attachment they want. With the attachment disorder that it sounds like she also had, it is not uncommon that this disorder would also show up. YUUTO She made me sick to treat me? AINA (over phone) It does sound far-fetched but it does exist. Your condition is probably a direct effect from that abuse. It is common for children with parents like that to develop some sort of psychological problems, either it be personality or dissociative. YUUTO What should I do to keep the memories at bay? AINA (over phone) Take your medication and relax. That is really all I can tell you. Your stress is causing them to be retrieved. Bring your stress level down and you should be fine. I know it's hard after all that you have found out but that is your only option. YUUTO What if I want to get to the bottom of this whole thing? AINA (over phone) Continue at your own risk. I do not suggest it. Take in a little at a time, not the full load. Please do not push yourself. You may think that your mind is strong, but from what I've seen it is very fragile. Take care of yourself. INT. REHABILITATION CENTER. AFTERNOON. Sumiko is sitting on her bed looking through Ichiro's box. She looks heartbroken. She looks over to see Yuuto in the doorway. SUMIKO Yuu-kun, you're back. She rises from the bed and walks over to him. She goes to hug him. YUUTO Why did you do it? Sumiko stops. SUMIKO What are you talking about, Yuu-kun? YUUTO (snaps) Don't call me that! Why did you kill my father? Sumiko is flabbergasted. SUMIKO Why would you say something like that? Yuuto walks slowly towards her, she backs up to stay away from him. YUUTO I remember it clearly. You fought him so he wouldn't take me away from you. You stabbed him in the neck right in front of me. Do you remember? After all of these years, have you forgotten that you were the one that murdered him? SUMIKO Yuuto, you're scaring me. YUUTO You think I wasn't scared? I was scared of you, I remember how you beat me, how you tortured me, how you made me sick so you could tend to me. You were so afraid to let me leave the house that you poisoned me to make me better and that's why I was such a sickly child. You are the reason I ran away. You are the reason I'm the way I am today! You made me like this! SUMIKO That's enough! He has her all the way to the window. He backs away from her. YUUTO (calmly) I remember it now. I remember waking up, bleeding, not knowing what had happened and you over me trying to help me while you were drunk. I remember having scars and burns on my body. You kept me inside all the time, I never went to school and I didn't know anyone else. How else would they have gotten there if the only other person in the house was you? SUMIKO I... I can't... Sumiko walks away to the bed. Yuuto walks over and pulls one of the pictures of a younger him off the wall and shows it to her. YUUTO What did you do to him? Sumiko looks at him. SUMIKO I'm sorry. She backs up and tears start to fall from her eyes. SUMIKO I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. YUUTO It was you. SUMIKO I'm sorry. Yuuto stares at her. As she speaks, tears fall from Yuuto's eyes. SUMIKO I did kill him. Your father and I did love each other, but he left me when I started drinking. When he found out I had you, he tried several times to take you away from me. That night, he thought I wasn't there and he came to get you. I killed him so he wouldn't take you away. I had no where to hide him so I buried him out by the pine tree in the backyard of the house we lived in. You were my baby and I wasn't going to be without you. YUUTO He would have given me a better life. SUMIKO You were mine! Nothing was going to take you away from me! YUUTO If you cared about me so much, why did you abuse me? SUMIKO I was young, I didn't know any better. The way I treated you was the way my parents treated me. I had no knowledge of how to be a good mother. It doesn't surprise me that you ran away. I tried to forget about what I did to you. I didn't realize how much pain I caused you. If I could live my life over again, I would have never done those horrible things to you. Your father would not be dead and we might have been a family. I dream that would have been my past but reality comes back in and ruins it. I know I can never say sorry enough to make up for it, but I beg you to forgive me. Yuuto starts to leave. Sumiko runs to him and falls on her hands and knees. She grabs his jacket. SUMIKO Please, forgive me! I beg you, please, forgive me! Yuuto pushes her off. YUUTO I can never forgive you for what you have done. I'm like this because of you. I cannot live a normal life because of you. I will never forgive you for that! Yuuto walks out leaving her on the floor. INT. SEIICHI'S APARTMENT. LATE AFTERNOON. Ninette is sitting in the bedroom in her wedding dress. The arm that Seiichi cut is now wrapped up in bandages. A lady is there behind her, brushing her hair. LADY You will make a beautiful bride, my dear. Ninette reaches inside the dress of her skirt and pulls a knife out. When the lady lets go of her hair, Ninette stands up and points the knife at her. The lady backs up against the vanity when she sees the knife. NINETTE Don't follow me. Don't even come near me. Ninette runs out of the room. She runs into the living room and slices one of the guard's neck and stabs the other one in the chest. She runs towards the entrance door and opens it to reveal Seiichi. She points the knife at him. SEIICHI Have you caused trouble? NINETTE I killed your two guards. I'm not afraid to kill you too. SEIICHI I would like to see you try. She goes in for a jab but Seiichi steps out of the way and grabs her arm. He pulls her back to him and pulls her arm up to have the knife at her neck. SEIICHI I'm not afraid to hurt you, princess. As you have already figured out, I don't mind hurting you. Kill someone else and I will hurt you in a way that will make you wish you hadn't messed with me. NINETTE I'm not afraid of you. Seiichi takes the knife from her and turns her around to face him. He places the sharp end of the knife on her cheek. SEIICHI You say you are not afraid, but your eyes tell me differently. You are scared shitless. Ninette struggles to get away but he keeps her close. SEIICHI Don't even try to escape again. INT/EXT. SHINAGAWA PRINCE HOTEL. SUNSET. The day starts to get dark, a storm is coming. Daisuke is standing in the lobby of the hotel behind a pillar. He looks over at the entrance and sees a group of suited men surrounding someone enter and head towards the elevators. Once there, he sees Ninette in her wedding gown enter in the elevator. He pulls out his phone and dials. DAISUKE She's here. I'm heading up right now. He closes his phone and heads for the elevators. Outside, Shinobu is in the back of a van looking at all of the monitors showing the chapel being prepared. He sees Seiichi at the alter talking to the priest. Kazuo and Ryoichi are in the hotel room, equiping themselves with bulletproof vests and guns. Daisuke walks in and they hand him a vest. EXT. ABANDONED HOUSE. SUNSET. It has started raining as Yuuto digs at the base of the pine tree behind the burnt down house. It looks like he has been digging for a while. He hears a pop when he jabs the shovel into the ground. He places the shovel against the trees and starts to dig with his hands. He feels something smooth as he pushes the mud away. He reveals a partially decomposed body wrapped in plastic. It is Ichiro. Yuuto screams and tries to climb out of the hole. He slides back down and continues to try but only brings down more mud. He ends up getting a grip of the tree root and pulls himself out of the hole. He lays down on the ground and lets the rain fall on him. He sees the figure in the blue dress standing over him. He quickly stands to face him. He grabs the shovel. YUUTO (yelling) Get out of my head! He swings the shovel at the figure but it just goes through the figure. YUUTO Go away! Leave me the f**k alone! He trys to swing the shovel again but his emotions pulls him down to the ground. He screams out. INT. HOTEL. NIGHT. Yuuto steps out of the bathroom, half dressed. His shirt is lying on the bed. His gun is on the bedside table next to his phone. He is drying his hair with a towel. The memory of his father's decomposed body flashes in his mind and he falls to his knees. YUUTO I can't take this anymore. This can't get any worse. His phone rings. He rises and walks over to answer it. YUUTO Hello? NURSE (over phone) Is this Takanori Yuuto? YUUTO Yes. NURSE (over phone) I'm from the Belle Haven Rehabilitation Center, where your mother is staying. I have some grave news for you. YUUTO What is it? NURSE (over phone) We found your mother about a half an hour ago, hung in her room. Yuuto seems distraught. YUUTO She's...dead? NURSE (over phone) Yes, I'm sorry Takanori-san for your loss. Yuuto's arms drop and he drops the phone. His head sinks and then rises in a menacing manner. NURSE (over phone) Hello? Hello? Takanori-san? Yuuto grabs the shirt and gun and walks out of the room. His walk has changed to a stride that is powerful and menacing. INT/EXT. SHINAGAWA PRINCE HOTEL. NIGHT. The chapel is full. Ninette and Seiichi are standing at the alter in front of the priest. Ninette has tears in her eyes. PRIEST Good evening, and welcome to the ceremony that will unite Sakamoto Seiichi and Ninette Pascal in marriage. We gather here today to celebrate their union, and to honor their commitment to not just gazing at one another, but to looking outward in the same direction. Today, Sakamoto Seiichi and Ninette Pascal proclaim their love to the world, and we rejoice with and for them. Outside in the van, Shinobu has his headset on and is watching the wedding. SHINOBU Daisuke, they've finished the introduction. You and the others need to get down there now. In their hotel room, Daisuke, Kazou and Ryoichi are at the door, ready to leave. Each of them have an earpiece in. DAISUKE Alright, thanks. Let's go. The three of them exit the room. Back in the chapel, the priest has now reached the vows. PRIEST Sakamoto Seiichi, do you take Ninette Pascal to be your wife, to live together in holy matrimony? To love, honor, and cherish her,... Outside of the chapel, Ryoichi, Daisuke and Kazuo start fighting the guards. They fight as the vows are heard in the voice over. PRIEST (voice over) ...to keep her in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live? In the chapel, Seiichi smiles at Ninette. SEIICHI I do. Ninette closes her eyes. Outside, the fighting still continues, the vows continue. Daisuke stabs a couple of the guys, Kazuo breaks one of the guard's neck, and Ryoichi who is being held by one of the guards, throws the guard over his head and punches him in the temple. PRIEST (voice over) Ninette Pascal, do you take Sakamoto Seiichi to be your husband, to live together in holy matrimony? To love, honor, and cherish him, to keep him in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live? In the chapel, Ninette is crying. Seiichi looks at her. NINETTE I can't...I can't. Daisuke and Ryoichi bust through the doors to the chapel aiming their guns at Seiichi. Kazuo follows behind. DAISUKE Stop this wedding now! A couple of men from the audience stand and start to shoot at them. Seiichi drags Ninette away from the alter but Ninette grabs the bottle of champagne on the side table and breaks it over Seiichi's head. It breaks but he doesn't let go. With the piece that she still has, she cuts Seiichi's arm open. He screams and lets go. NINETTE I told you I wasn't afraid of you. She kicks him away from her and runs off toward Daisuke and the others who are hiding behind some of the pillars. DAISUKE We have to get out of here but they have the door blocked. Kazuo slips out from behind the pillar and shoots the guards that are blocking the door. KAZUO Let's go! The four of them head out of the door as bullets fly toward them. They leave and start to run through the hallway. A few minutes later, the four of them exit the building and head toward Shinobu's van. Daisuke and Ryoichi jump into the front seat and Kazuo and Ninette jump into the back. Daisuke starts the van and drives off. INT. HOTEL. NIGHT. The Daisuke and the others return back to the hotel. Ninette starts letting down her hair and pulling off her jewelry. NINETTE Where is Yuuto? DAISUKE He might be here but I'm not really sure. I made him stay out of rescuing you. NINETTE Why? DAISUKE I didn't want to run the risk of him ruining our plan to save you. Ninette runs to Yuuto's room. NINETTE Yuuto! She reaches his room and sees his cell phone on the floor. She walks over and picks it up. She sees that there are nine missed calls. She checks the calls and notices they are from the same number. She dials the number and waits. NURSE (over phone) Hello, this is Belle Haven Rehabilitation Center, how may I help you? NINETTE Hello, I noticed that this number has called this phone several times. Was anything wrong? NURSE (over phone) Is this Takamori Yuuto's number? NINETTE Yes. I'm a friend of his. NURSE (over phone) We called to inform him of his mother's sudden death. Ninette is surprised. NINETTE Death? NURSE (over phone) Takanori-san answered the phone and I told him the news but he didn't say anything. I heard a bump on the other end and thought he might have dropped it but he never picked back up. We tried calling him to see if he was alright and what he wanted to do with her body. Do you know where he is? NINETTE No, I don't. Thank you for the information. NURSE (over phone) When you find him, please tell him... Ninette closes the phone. She runs back to where the others are. NINETTE He left his phone here. DAISUKE Where could he have gone? NINETTE His mother is dead. RYOICHI His mother? NINETTE The rehab center that his mother was staying at called him and told him that his mother was dead. They tried calling him nine times to see if he was okay. Shinobu runs over to his computer and brings up a map of Tokyo. There is a flashing red dot moving toward the coast. The others walk up to see it. RYOICHI Is that him? SHINOBU Yeah. KAZUO Where is he going? RYOICHI All that's over there are warehouses that store... DAISUKE What is it? RYOICHI I worked at one of those warehouses several years ago. They house gasoline barrels. But I heard a few years ago, the gasoline was contaminated and they closed the warehouses down. SHINOBU So why do you think he's going there? RYOICHI It's nothing good, that's for sure. DAISUKE Do you think he might...bite the bullet? NINETTE Don't say that! He would never do that! RYOICHI What if the fifth personality has finally come out? KAZUO We need to go find him now. The men head out of the room. Ninette stares at the computer. NINETTE Don't do it, Yuuto. She follows the men out. INT. WAREHOUSE. NIGHT. The warehouse is full of gasoline barrels. There is little light coming through from the street lights and the moon. Yuuto pushes one of the barrels over, gasoline all over the floor. He walks away from the spill and looks up to see Katashi, Rei and Noboro. You now see the personalities as Yuuto sees them. Katashi is a middle aged man in a general's uniform, Rei is a small girl in a dress and no shoes, and Noboro is a teenage boy whose clothes are torn and there are scratches on his body. Yuuto's voice is evil and feminine sounding. YUUTO(???) What do you three want? KATASHI You need to stop this! Yuuto doesn't want you here. YUUTO(???) Don't you talk to me that way! I came to rid him of his suffering. Ever since the three of you made your way into his life, its been nothing but suffering. REI You don't belong here. YUUTO(???) All of you don't belong here! None of you belong. NOBORO We are the ones that made sure he didn't know the truth about you. We kept him sane so he could live in society. Yuuto laughs. YUUTO(???) You think you made him normal! (Laughing stops) You made him far from normal, Noboro. You were the first one, weren't you? FLASHBACK. Three-year-old Yuuto is playing with one of his toys. He looks up and sees Noboro sitting in front of him. Noboro holds his hand up to Yuuto and Yuuto grabs his finger. YUUTO(???) (voice over) You are the one who started it all. You made him the way he is. NOBORO (voice over) That's not true! I protected him from you! If I wasn't there, he would have remembered everything you did to him. Another flashback shows of Yuuto's father's death. YUUTO(???) (voice over) He would have found out anyway. Did hiding the truth from him really help him? It seems to me that it screwed him up even more. Another flashback is shown of a young teenage Yuuto running to the train station. He looks back to see Rei looking sad and crying. He holds out his hand to her and she runs to him, grabbing his hand. REI (voice over) The truth had to be hidden. We knew if he found out, you would become active and hurt him more than you already have. Another flashback is shown of Sumiko beating Yuuto as a child. He's screaming on the top of his lungs. YUUTO(???) (voice over) All of you are so naive. I have come to stop this once and for all. You may think you can help his future, but you're wrong. Another flashback shows and older teenage Yuuto waking up and seeing Katashi. Katashi smiles and holds his hand out to Yuuto. Yuuto takes his hand and rises. He hugs Katashi. KATASHI If you succeed in your plan, you won't have a future. You'll destroy him and haunt him. All you are is a haunting, nothing more! INT. WAREHOUSE. NIGHT. Yuuto laughs again. He pulls a lighter out of his pocket and ignites the flame. YUUTO(???) I'm a haunting? Aren't we all just figments of his past. Noboro is the friend he always wanted to have but didn't, Rei is the lost childhood, and Katashi is the protector modeled after a senile old man. I'm the figment of the mother that murdered his father. Noboro runs at Yuuto and tackles him but he goes through Yuuto, pushing out the fifth personality which is a young woman in the blue dress that is covered in blood on the front. Yuuto looks around and sees Rei and Katashi. Yuuto closes the lighter and drops it. He looks behind him and sees Noboro standing over BLOODY SUMIKO. YUUTO What's going on? KATASHI Yuuto,.. YUUTO Who is she? REI She's the lady in the blue dress. NOBORO She is the abusive mother that killed your father. INT. VAN. NIGHT. Ninette, Shinobu, and Kazuo are sitting in the back. Daisuke is driving with Ryoichi in the passenger seat. Shinobu has his laptop out with the tracker program up. NINETTE Has he stopped yet? SHINOBU He's in one of the warehouses. NINETTE Do you really think he'll do it? SHINOBU I hope he doesn't but there is no way of knowing what state he is in. DAISUKE I just hope we get there before he tries anything. NINETTE (under breath) Yuuto. INT/EXT. WAREHOUSE. NIGHT. Yuuto looks down at Bloody Sumiko with fear in his eyes. Noboro is holding Sumiko back. Yuuto backs up, trips and falls. He keeps backing up. NOBORO Yuuto, don't be scared of her. You are stronger than her. YUUTO Why is she here? KATASHI She has been lying dormant for years inside your unconscious. She is the vision that you created of your mother. This is the mother you remember. REI When you found out about your mother's death, she decided to come out to take her place. BLOODY SUMIKO She's the one who took my place. I'm the real one! NOBORO Don't listen to her, Yuuto. She's a corrupt, mindless personality with no sense of right or wrong. She plans to kill us all, including you. YUUTO She can't do that. NOBORO She can if you let her. That's why you cannot be afraid of her. Yuuto stands. He walks slowly towards Noboro and Sumiko. He stops. YUUTO How do I get rid of her? NOBORO There is no way to get rid of her but you can keep her from coming back. YUUTO How? Sumiko laughs maniacally. BLOODY SUMIKO You cannot get rid of me, little boy. It will take a lot of will power to get rid of me and I don't think you have it in you. Everything about you is meaningless. Yuuto winces. YUUTO (under breath) I hate you. NOBORO Yuuto, don't. Your rejection is what made her. The years you rejected your mother is what made her stronger. YUUTO How can I accept her when she has done nothing but hurt and torment me? KATASHI Yuuto! Listen to him. He can help you get through this. YUUTO (yelling) All of you have tormented me! It's not just her! I've tried to be normal, I've tried to be good! All of you have fucked with my life in one way or another and I'm tired of it! REI Yuuto. YUUTO I cannot stand it anymore! NOBORO Yuuto, stop! YUUTO I'm the host! I don't listen to you, you listen to me! I want all of you gone! I just want to live a normal life! BLOODY SUMIKO That's right, be angry, Yuuto. YUUTO (quietly) Shut up. BLOODY SUMIKO Show me your anger and your hate! YUUTO (yelling) Shut up! Sumiko breaks away from Noboro and pulls a knife out a pocket in her dress and stabs Noboro. Yuuto grabs his chest and screams in pain. KATASHI Noboro! Noboro falls back on his back and dies. Sumiko turns to the rest of them. Yuuto looks up at her and then at Noboro's body. His eyes widen. YUUTO Noboro. BLOODY SUMIKO Remember, you were the one that wished them gone. She runs past Yuuto to Rei. Sumiko backs Rei up in a corner. Katashi runs over and throws Sumiko away from Rei. KATASHI You stay off of her! YUUTO Please stop! Sumiko charges at Katashi and stabs him in the stomach. Yuuto covers his eyes and screams again. Katashi falls out of the way, opening Rei's defense. Sumiko slowly walks towards her. Rei is crying. REI Please, don't hurt me. Sumiko grabs Rei's neck, pulls her up and we hear Rei screaming in pain before she dies. Yuuto grabs his stomach and starts to breath heavily. Sumiko looks towards Yuuto. She licks the blood on her knife. BLOODY SUMIKO It's about time they all disappeared, don't you think? Yuuto looks back at Noboro's body. He looks at Katashi and Rei. Tears start to roll down his face. He grabs his gun out of his pocket. BLOODY SUMIKO That's right. Yuuto points the gun at Sumiko. Sumiko's devilish smile turns into fear. BLOODY SUMIKO What are you doing? YUUTO I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't forgive her when I had the chance. She had to live with the fact that she killed the man she loved and tortured her only son. I was so angry that I couldn't forgive her. Maybe if I did, you wouldn't be here and I would still have Noboro, and Katashi, and Rei. BLOODY SUMIKO You wished them gone. YUUTO I feel empty now! I thought everything would be better but it's not! You destroyed the only comfort I had. Because of you, they're gone. Yuuto's hand shakes as he struggles to pull the trigger. Outside, Daisuke and the others arrive out front. Ninette is the first to jump out of the van. She runs toward the warehouse. Ryoichi jumps out. The rest file out. RYOICHI Ninette, stop! NINETTE We don't have time. A gunshot is heard from inside the warehouse. The all look at the warehouse. DAISUKE Please let us not be too late. NINETTE Yuuto. Ninette starts to run toward the warehouse. Shinobu goes after her. Yuuto coughs up blood. The gun is seen directly pointed at his stomach. He looks up to see Sumiko and the other alters gone. He touches his wound and looks at the blood on his hand. He drops his hand and his head. He starts to laugh quietly. His laugh turns into tears and then he screams and points the gun at a gasoline barrel. He pulls the trigger. Outside, Ninette is still running towards the warehouse. She hears the second gunshot and there is an explosion from inside the warehouse. Ninette stops and cries out. Shinobu reaches her and grabs her. She tries to escape his grasp. NINETTE No! Yuuto! Yuuto! Inside, we see Yuuto laying down on his stomach. He slowly closes his eyes. NINETTE (voice over) Yuuto!
