“*** KATAGI 片木 < Giovanness-John Jusabur o> ・The Cop
+++++ He is The Cop from Tokyo. A man of action.
40 years old. He used to live and study in Bangkok.
He enjoys boxing. Single, but self-proclaimed oedipuscomplex
guy. He has a wide range of knowledge from
studies in his school days, which he uses in his work
as a detective. He tries to grasp the image of
the case by thinking logically, but at the same time,
he is not a patience guy. His emotional side,
which can be a hindrance to detective work, is
a bit sentimental.”
CUT TO THE NEXT ONE: (JJ)
“***BANGKOK-Central section COP JJ Garcon D. Hawk-Ja
+++++ He is 38 years old. He is having his works
at Central Police Station. His wife left him and
he is now a single. His wife is raising his children.
Former An Olympic shooter. He claims himself as
a calm and collected man, but..., he is not perfect.
He is a mid-level officer in the department.
Parents: Father is from Thailand. Mother was born in
LONDON, England. Studied law at Cambridge.

Mr.KATAGI?
KATAGI
Yes!
Hawk-Jar (Garcon) shows KATAGI his Bangkok Police LICENCE notes.
KATAGI, somewhat suspiciously, checks.
KATAGI
Mr. Garcon Hawk-Jar?
Jacob Joe GARCON Drake Hawk-Ja... RIGHT?
GARCON
Yes, I am the Investigator of the Bangkok
Police Department. My full name is hornoring
my anscestors from my great-grandfather, so
it's a kind of long name, so you can call
me Garçon. You must be Mr. ・・・
Jusaburo Katagi, right?
Your picture was attached to an e-mail
from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police
Department. Welcome to Thailand. It's not
like that Sherlock Holmes hometown of London,
where you're invited to Royal tea, ・・・
but Pad-Thai is also fine. It's cool to be
a bangkok style guy.
KATAGI
You're a hyper person,I feeli.
I know this city very well.
GARCON
Right, yeah. It is true.
Mr. Jo, Josaburo Katagi.
KATAGI
That's true. I lived in this city for
two years when I was a student.
At that time, I was called Giovannes,
yes, John.
GARCON
Josaburo ... is difficult. Can I
call you John too?
KATAGI
OK.

Garcon:
John, please come in.
8 INT. Garcon's house (inside, daytime) – not very clean
Garçon
I'm going to make some coffee, so
why don't you sit at the table and
look at some magazines?
KATAGI
Thanks.
KATAGI sits at the table. There is a photo album on the table.
KATAGI
Can I look at this?
Garcon
Oh, the album. It's good. I was seeing
it yesterday. Mmm
KATAGI opens the album.
Garçon
Oh, go ahead and listen to Thai music
on those hyper-resolution headphones
over there
John uses them (headsets)

Garcon
There was a time when I dreamed of a
happy family.
KATAGI
Is she your wife?
Garcon
Actually, she left with the kid a few
years ago. I haven't seen her for a
few years.
KATAGI
I beg your pardon.
Garcon
It's okay. Don't worry about it. I've been
terribly busy with work...and it's my fault
for not being good at expressing my love.
Are You married, John?
KATAGI
I'm single.
Garcon
I saw your profile from the Tokyo
Metropolitan Police Department. You seem
pretty good at amateur boxing.
Do try Muay Thai here.
Wanna be a Muay-Thai fighter, right?
KATAGI smiles a bit.
(CONTINUED)
7.
KATAGI
Actually, I may have a weired personality.....
For a long time, I didn't even realize it,
but I may be a mother's boy..
Garcon
Hahahahahaha! (Big laugh)
KATAGI laughs along with GARCON's loud laughter.
Garcon
John, I'm starting to like you. Then you
might be a genius. There're many geniuses
mother's boys. John Lennon was too.
14 EXT. Bangkok city (outside, daytime)
Crowded streets. Colourful town. Many many people...
15 INT. In the car driven by Garcon (daytime)
KATAGI in the passenger seat talks to GARCON. The Bangkok Bay
Area is seen from the window.
KATAGI
So, why in the world did you invite me?
(After a bit bit while) GARCON
There are two reasons. John. John, you
studied here in this country before. So,
we can communicate with you in a heart-toheart
manner. And...
Garcon takes a photo out of his pocket and shows it to Katagi.
Garcon
I was wondering if you could tell me what
this means.
KATAGI looks at the photo.
Garcon
At first I thought it was Chinese, so
I asked the detective of Chinese root,
but he said it wasn't.
(CONTINUED)
8.
16 Murder Scene Photo (CU)
The scene of the crime. A dead body. Chinese characters in red on
the wall...
17 INT. Inside Garcon's car – DAY (TWILIGHT)
KATAGI is looking at the crazy photos.
GARCON:
” Sometimes, we, crazy section are called B-ZON E forc e...”
(After a while,) KATAGI
Oh, this is not Chinese. This is not Chinese.
"Tenchu" and "Akunin Shoki".....mmm...
...It's Japanese.
GARCON (turns to KATAGI)
So what does it mean?
KATAGI (still staring at the picture)
They are two unrelated words. Even the times
of Japanese History... TENCHU means PUNISHED.
Yeah,Tenchu is to punish, and Akunin Shoki is ....
But it's weird ..........Why is this in BANGKOK?
Garcon
What do you mean?
KATAGI
In 1185AD, the samurai government of
KAMAKURA Shogunate was born in Japan.
However, the time has moved to the era
of the Latter Day of the Law. It was the
really-bad time... Akunin- Shoki,.. is
the word of Shinran, a founder of a
Japanese Buddhist Group. He emerged in
that era. The archaeological studies
say he got influenced by the Nestorius
Christians of the Mongolian Asia.
Garcon
What does the words mean?
KATAGI
Sinner-People Are The Ones Who'll Be Saved.
Garcon
・・・(silence)
(CONTINUED)
9.
KATAGI
His saying is meaning like this・・・
In the eyes of Buddha, who sees everything,
who are looking at even the smallest sins,
who knows everything about people's lives,
all people are sinners.
...But the Buddha promises absolutely to
save all such sinner-ones, and bring them
to the blessed land. Shinran interpreted
Buddhism like that. However,there were
ones in Japan who took this wrongly. They
did rather evil and bad things.
Garcon
I'm not good at philosophy.... But
sometimes criminals have their own
philosophies. In my thirty years with
the Bangkok Police Department,I've seen
perverts, junkies, psychoes, and more,
but this is the fuckin craziest.
18 INT. Inside the police station - NIGHT
(At the corner desk, night)
There seemed to be no one except Katagi and Garcon. On the side,
an AI computing robot with a wheel-moving device is bringing tea.
Garcon
That's an AI robot-assistant made by
Thomas Stein, a mechanic / cyber-cop
at this station. This robot is taking
care of things related to the internet
matters and analyzing here.
KATAGI
Bringing tea too?
Garcon
Yes, very nice guy, huh? I don't know
much about the structure... (laughs) But
the robot-creator, Stein, is an interesting,
and genius guy. (laughs) He seems to have
studied technology somewhere far away.
I heard … he used to work for the Korean
police for 10 years developing their IT systems.
A light's on near the corner-desk. Garcon is showing Katagi the
crime scene pics.
(CONTINUED)
10.
Garcon
Right now, there are four victims.
Each crime scene was in a completely
different location.
The occupations of the victims were
also unrelated.
It's unlikely that one killer did all.
However, they always leave that
same message. Such as AKUNIN-SHOKI&Tenchu.
Each handwriting is different.
KATAGI looks at the four photos.
19 Photo #1: Red-Hooded black man dead, blowing bubbles from
mouth,... might be hit, punched till death.
20 Photo #2: White man in suit - Sword wounded. Lying in his room.
21 Photo #3: A preacher-man - He is lying in an unnatural position
with his eyes, open.
22 Photo #4: Asian Fat man, ...Shot dead.
23 INT. Garcon's desk.(Interior) – NIGHT
GARCON
#1 is on heavy poison … … … Was a Drug
dealer. #2 was a politician. He got
killed with a sword. #3 was a preacher.
#4 ...........a body, shot dead found
in Chinatown's garbage. They can't all
have been done by the same one person...
KATAGI
But all got the same wall message...
Garcon
Yes. It could be a group crime.
Do you think this's some political message?
KATAGI
TENCHU was the word used by an assassin-group
called the Shinsengumi in the end times of
the Japanese Samourai Era.
(CONTINUED)
11.
However, it has nothing to do with the
word, AKUNIN-SHOKI.
Garcon
Can you tell me again about the
term 'AKUNIN-SHOKI' ?
KATAGI
I only had just a small lecture of it
when I was in high. … OK … Well …
in the Kamakura period of 1185 to 1333,
the time was extremely bad... Many said
the end times would come soon to Japan.
It is a philosophy to live in such extreme
times...
Garcon
Hmmm. My parents are Puritans.
I heard … that in the early Christian church,
there was a belief that the world would end
soon after the ascension of Jesus Christ.
Katagi
Mmm. So, during that Kamakura era, in the
Latter Day Thought, a new religious thought
called Jodo-Shinshu was born. The founder was
Shinran. It is said to be similar to
Christianity. He was also said to be influenced
by the Nestorian Christians in the ancient China.
Garcon
WOW.
BLACK.
FADE IN:
SUPER:
“ACT 2”
(continued night interior of 23)
KATAGI
Shinran said, … Buddha saves persons who're
truly aware of one's human nature as hopeless
person. That evil person is the primal purpose
of Amida Buddha’s working.
(CONTINUED)
12.
Garcon
Evil people are the ones who should be
saved... mmm. Christ also said that
he came into the world to save sinners.
KATAGI
Now, we shouldn't think in too deep...
This type of murderer is a self-righteous
person who takes only what he likes from
religious doctrines and perverts them to
justify murder. We just need to arrest
them, and throw them in jail.
Garcon
That's a simple but brilliant motivation.
We're not lawyers. Cops should be simple.
KATAGI, and Garcon look at each other.
Garcon
John, I'm really glad you're here.
Thanks to your knowledge, we can at
least narrow down the organizations
that might have some connection.
KATAGI pats his own forehead.
KATAGI
I haven't done anything yet.
Garcon
Your brain is needed. We can have t
he way to the goal with you. Thanks.
KATAGI
Well, I'm glad.
Garcon
Since you're going to be here for a
long time, I've already found you an
apartment. You should rest now.
Suddenly, there was a big sound of hitting steal! There was a
noise. It echoed in the darkness of the hallway.
Garcon and Katagi
What the hell!
(CONTINUED)
13.
KATAGI, getting his gun in hands. KATAGI goes out into the
corridor with his gun in his arms.
24 INT. Police station, hallway (night)
KATAGI holds up a gun. A figure in the darkness. Garcon turns on
the hallway light. A black man in simple clothes is standing
there, illuminated by the light. The black man is raising his
hands. His back is towards us (to screen).
KATAGI
Don't move!
GARCON
...Mike?
KATAGI
Mike?
The black man turns around with his hand raised.
Garcon
Hey, Mike. You are Mike.
The trash can lies on the floor by Mike's side.
Mike
It was dark, so I hit this trash can
by my foot.
Garcon
John, put the gun down.
Katagi puts his gun down.
Garcon
This man is Mike,... he is our colleague.
Mike
Nice to see you... Sorry about this.
Garcon
We got this nice man, Katagi from Japan
to investigate that case. Do you remember?
Mike
Yeah, … Oh, you are. (Looking at Katagi)
(CONTINUED)
14.
KATAGI
Nice to meet you. I'm John. John KATAGI.
Mike, walking up to KATAGI's side.
Mike
I'm Mike. Nice to meet you. Welcome to
Bangkok from Tokyo.
Garcon
But, Mike. Why are you here now? You're
off now.
Mike
I came to pick up something I forgot.
Garcon
I see.
Mike
Well,... I'll see you again when I'm on
duty. Bye.
Mike leaves.
25 INT. Gym in the police station (next day, noon) – DAY
The gym is fully equipped with rings, sandbags, headgear, and
workout equipment.
Several officers are working out, jumping rope, etc.
Katagi walks in, wearing a T-shirt and jersey pants. KATAGI takes
his place and begins to stretch. KATAGI heads for the punching
ball. KATAGI hits the punching ball lightly and rhythmically.
The officers
Wow! Nice movement.
KATAGI goes to the sandbag and punches into it rhythmically with a
combination of hitting. The other police officers look at his
amazing movements.
Police Officer A
That Japanese guy's got great moves.
Police Officer B
That's no amateur.
(CONTINUED)
15.
Mike is also watching Katagi. Mike folds his arms and stares at
KATAGI. KATAGI steps in and out towards the sandbag and punches
strongly. Mike approaches KATAGI, taking off his own shirt
slowly.
Mike
Hey John. You look like Cesar Chavez.
KATAGI stops moving and breathes on his shoulder.
KATAGI
My ideal style is a Mexican boxer.
Mike
I heard you got some great records for
the policeman's box games in Japan, right?
Garcon said so.
KATAGI
I've been asked to go pro. YEAH. Mike.
Hello again.
Mike, putting on his glove.
Mike
… … going pro, huh. OK. Get in the ring,
LET'S PLAY.
The officers clap to Mike;
Officer A
Hey Mike,there's a size difference between
you and he.
(Turning to KATAGI) Mike
Do not come in if you're scared, Kid.
KATAGI (preparing)
You're gonna regret this, Mike. HAHA!
The officers
Oh my!
Mike
John, You can't come to work tomorrow! come on!
The two men face each other in the ring.
(CONTINUED)
16.
In the ring, Katagi starts circling with the steps.
There is a clear difference in size. KATAGI keeps his distance,
but Mike extends a long jab. KATAGI closes the distance and jabs
out. It hits Mike's face.
The cops
Oh!
Mike
Damn!
KATAGI continues jabs at Mike's face, with repeated steps in/out.
Mike
Shit! Shit!
Officer B
John Katagi! He's awesome! He's always
winning the department's boxing tournaments
in Japan. Yes, Garcon said that.
Cop C
Look. John's moves! He's like Bruce Lee!
Mike
Damn! Damn! You're like a bee!
Mike holds over Katagi's body. KATAGI can't get out of his hands.
Mike starts hitting Katagi's body.
The cops
That's not good!
Then Garçon comes in.
Garçon
You're making a lot of noise... That's
John and Mike...!?
Cop C
That'll be a historical battle in this
station! Boss!
Cop B
I don't know why, but Mike started to get
on John's nerves.
Garcon
HolyShit
(CONTINUED)
17.
Mike grabs Katagi and continues to punch him in the body.
Mike
I told you! I told you, You can't come
to work tomorrow!
KATAGI shakes Mike off at once.
Mike
...! You bastard! Why don't you behave
yourself!
Mike covers KATAGI again. He grabs the t-shirt. KATAGI twists
his body with great speed.
Mike
Whoa!
Mike is blown away. A piece of KATAGI's T-shirt is in his hand.
The t-shirt is ripped off, exposing KATAGI's upper body. His back
muscles are sculpted like a Greek or Roman sculpture.
Police Officer C
Look. That back. How did he work out
like that?
Katagi looks down at Mike. Mike stands up.
Mike
I'm not done with you yet, John KATAGI!
KATAGI prepares to fight. Suddenly, the bell rings. KATAGI and
Mike turn around. Garcon stands in front of the bell.
Garcon
That's enough, you two!

Hey! Do you hear me, Mike?
Mike, quickly walking out of the room.
27 INT. around Locker room exit. - DAY
Mike stares at his right hand, which is shaking.
Mike
That guy … … Katagi,..... From where
in his body did he get that kind of
power? Is that Asian mystery?
28 EXT. At the foot of Chao Phraya Park (evening TWILIGHT)
A businessman (NAME:ZANZE) wearing glasses is smoking a cigarette,
looking down.
(After a while,) a voice
ZANZE!
The businessman turns around. A large man with a full hood is
approaching. His face is not seen even a bit, covered by a deep
dark shadow...
The big man
How are you doing? ZANZE?
Businessman (ZANZE)
Not too bad. How about you, KONG?
A large-man (KONG)
The bars and clubs these days are
full of classy couples. Very classy.
There's no one with balls to cause troubles...
ZANZE
Hmm......We need some violence, huh?”
KONG
Hmm,... looking like you haven't slept in days?
ZANZE
I'm happy with my life right now.
I have a wife, and my biz is going well.

KONG
Well,... here is the nex list. You need this?
ZANZE
Let me see it.
ZANZE receives the printout.
KONG
But you know, ...... two of the fine cops
have started working on our case.
ZANZE
It's useless. There's no proof.
KONG
Well,... this time we need to prepare.
The cop from Japan taught the Bangkok police
what our signs mean. It might lead them to
us .........
ZANZE
They'll never trace us. I feel it
KONG
Well, we'll have to be careful. OK?
ZANZE
By the way, where's... DAITO?
KONG, with an annoyed look on his face...

Garcon
John, are you OK?
KATAGI
Sorry. I had a bad dream...
30 EXT. Police Station (exterior, night)
A shooting star appears in the sky above the police station.
Garcon (voice only)
John, maybe you're tired. Very. Yeah.
It is natural. You've just arrived in
the Bangkok Bay Area, and now you have
heard about the devilish murder...no wonder.
You should go home for tonight. Ok?
JOHN KATAGI (voice only)
Yeah. I will...
GARCON (voice only)
Don't mind. John. It's a normal thing.
You may still have some Jet Lag. This is a
kind of heavy duty, … yeah. Sleep well tonight.
KATAGI (voice only)
I'll be better tomorrow... Goodbye.
GARCON (voice only)
Good night.

Yes, sir.
As he sits at the table, KATAGI looks around at the wall. On the
wall, there are paintings of gods of ancient Indian religions, &
the figure of Buddha, and mandalas...
KATAGI
Oh, ・・・
The owner (while cooking)
Like those?
KATAGI
Well..I studied art before becoming a cop.
I didn't have the talent in that field.
But loving to see. Those're creative.
The owner-cook brings curry.
The owner
Here you go.
KATAGI eats.
33 EXT. Streets at the foot of Chao Phraya (night)
KATAGI hurries home alone. There is no sign of people around.
KATAGI sneezes a few times.
KATAGI
Maybe I'm tired, or maybe I caught a
cold a bit...
A red laser beam (canon target) catches KATAGI's forehead.
KATAGI is in the target circle perfectly.
KATAGI sneezes. (in sudden)
KATAGI
Haakush! AAA-CHUU!
KATAGI sneezes loudly and leans forward in the big move.
A gunshot SOUND : "BANG!!!”

A gunshot sounded.
A bullet strikes the car, and sparks fly! Katagi stays in the

KATAGI
Damn it! Who is it? WHO!?
KATAGI tries to get out from the shadow.
The sound of gunfire : "BANG!!"
KATAGI rushes back to the shadow of the car. KATAGI falls down.
KATAGI
ouch!
In the darkness, KATAGI pulls out his gun from his coat.
KATAGI fires a few shots. Returning fires. The sounds of gunfires
echoes in the dark. Hiding behind the car, Katagi looks towards
the sound of gunfire. Someone puts a hand on Katagi's shoulder.

Katagi is surprised, and turns around. The person who taps him is
Garcon!
Garcon
You're in a bad situation.
KATAGI
It's a bad situation, seriously.
(CONTINUED)
23.
GARCON
I heard the sounds of the gunshots from
that corner, and I came here. John,
it is good to say. I saved your life!
KATAGI
What?
Garcon
Because I'm here.
Sound(More gunfire.) : "BANG!”
Sparks fly between KATAGI and GARCON.
KATAGI
It's not a joke time, Garcon. This is
too dangerous.
KATAGI fires a few more shots in the direction of the enemy's
gunfire. KATAGI fires some more again. Sparks fly.
Garcon
Your gun skills are quite bad. Very bad
(Garcon says this and he pulls his gun out of his coat.)
Garcon gets out of the shadow of the car a bit, and fires a one
shot.
A sound of the fire!
A shout in the distance:
Aaah!
KATAGI got amazed.
KATAGI
That's right, yeah, … Garcon. you were
in the world Olympic shooting team...!
Natural-born shooter.
GARCON
...but, … Katagi,... I lost my skill. Haha.
I let him get away. The bullet hit him
somewhere in his body, but... he ran.
(CONTINUED)

35 EXT. Street (night)
KATAGI and GARCON leave the shadow of the car, and ... approach to
the woods, where those gunshots were fired from. KATAGI looks
around.
KATAGI
There's blood here.
Garcon
I knew..., he got one shot. But gone
away...
KATAGI
I got some respect for you, Garcon.
You're not just a middle-aged man. Haha!
36 INT. In the car (daytime)
KATAGI in the passenger seat, GARCON is driving the wheels.
KATAGI
I couldn't find any Japanese Buddhist
temples in the Bay Area.
GARCON
Mmm... I see.
KATAGI
But I found a suspicious cult settlement
from the info of Internet,... It's in
a low-density area of the city. It may be a
modern version of cult commune. The atmosphere
is like a drug addict community. Sometimes,
they are taking only the parts of the religion
that they like. Some of them are selfsufficient
communities.....
Garcon
Wow!
KATAGI
During the so-called BUBBLE period of the
Japan economic history, lots of Japanese
companies went overseas. At the same time,
Japanese Buddhist ideas also entered the
countries. But after the high economic period,
many Japanese companies left behind the countries.
However, some wicked spiritual ideas are still
(CONTINUED)
25.
in there. Actually they are not really
Buddhist. Let's head to the community.

Large signboard. A large sign: BODISAWA-COM.
The two men get out of the car. LADY S (woman) approaches them.
Woman
Can I help you?
Garcon
Yes, please. I need your time.
Katagi&Garcon're introduced to the community by she (Lady S).
40 EXT. The community field (outside, daytime)
Mainly, KATAGI converses with the Lady S, and GARCON follows him.
There are men running around in only their bathing suits...
Lady S
As you can see, the members of our
community lead a regular life day
and night. Every morning we wake up
at five o'clock and start our day
with ZEN.
Men in bathing suits
Oichi-ni, oichi-ni! (one two one two in
JPN language)
(Garcon, looking at them strangely.)
The Lady S said
Our community helps people be recovered
from various addictions.
(CONTINUED)
26.
(Turning his face to LADY S,) Garcon
Well,... I want the list of your
community members.
(With a surprised-face) LADY-S
I can't give personal info.
Garcon
Mmm... Yeah, I understand your
position... but, directly saying,
...some of the members of this
community may be involved in a series
of unusual murders. You must know that...
it's currently occurring in this big city...
LADY-S
Well!! … there is no such thing at all!
41 INT. Commune House (interior) -DAY
KATAGI and GARCON are sitting on the carpet.
LADY-S (actually the name is never called in the movie) comes
in with cups of tea. Garçon starts to tell a story.
Garçon
This is the chronological sheet of the
date and time of the murder. We need to
clarify the alibis of the community
members here...
The woman leaves the room with the sheet-documents Garcon gave.
KATAGI
What do you think? Is she checking
the members' alibis properly?
Garcon
I can't say for sure, but I don't think
she knows well about this commune's main
act. For no reason, but she seems to love
this group deeply. It might be her life …
for no reason.
Katagi notices something.
He looks at the small window of the room.
From the window, a young woman is looking at Garcon & Katagi.
Katagi walks near to the window.
(CONTINUED)
27.
KATAGI
Who are you?
The young woman
We're all going to die and be saved...
BODISAWA is going to save us.
KATAGI
What are you talking about? Wait!
The woman runs off, laughing hysterically.
KATAGI
What the hell is that?
The front door opens and LADY-S returns.
LADY-S
Thank you for waiting. I checked the
general schedule of all the members.
There were no problems at all.
But one guy's action was bit strange...
Garcon
How?
LADY-S
He hasn't been back to his room in this
facility for the past two weeks.
Garcon
What?
(Saying seriously,)LADY-S
He's a very nice person and I do not
think he got involved in any of your cases!
Garcon
We need to know every information. OK? This
is a serial murder case. Murders.....! OK?
There could be more victims.
(After a moment,)The woman LADY-S
Okay......... He,...
He used to go to work from the room in
this commune. So, he has a work-place in
the city centre. Why don't you go there?
You'll find something there.
(CONTINUED)
28.
GARCON:
Cop'nker. (Thank you in Thai)
KATAGI
Um,I just saw a young woman with her
hair all messed up..
LADY-S
LOLA, right? Her name. She is LOLA … … …
She got some mental problems... but she's
getting better since she came here. We
do medication here. But ........... ever
since that incident, she's been saying some
crazy things.
Katagi
That incident?
LADY-S:
Well..., it was a strange story.
She told me it.
One day, those male trainees were
floating in the sky ........
I feel it was just a daydream...
Mmmm..., Please, … please leave when
you're done, Misters. Sorry,but,
...We're busy.
KATAGI is looking at the LADY-S' eyes deeply.
Garcon
Enough. We're done for today.
KATAGI pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful.
Then, the two leave the building.
KATAGI
Well, that girl..., Lola..., The lady
said she's taking medication now...
Garcon
Hey, let's go.
-------------------------------------------------

KATAGI is next to him.

The man:
Hum... I'm not sure about it. I can't
say no more. I cannot tell you Ian's
address. You know it. It is a personal
info. And,he doesn't come here anymore.
What did he do?
Garcon:
Well,... we are from the police.
You should give me some information about
this. It is related to The murders that
have been happening in this city.
The man
Oh no! He's the killer? He doesn't look
like that at all. He was very nice, quiet,
and ... well, he was a good guy to me.
The man gives Katagi a flirtatious look.
Katagi got his eyes wide open with a surprised look.
Katagi hurried to leave there.
43 EXT. Outside a cheap apartment in District B (noon) -DAY
With a noisy sound, a car comes into there with a hurry stop.
Garçon's voice;
This is where that Ian's living in. … hum,
... well you noticed? That man,... That guy
liked you, John. Ha!
After pull into the parking lot, KATAGI and GARCON get out.
KATAGI
But … well … I'm straight.
Garcon
Hmm.
KATAGI and GARCON are waiting for Ian's return.
KATAGI, coffee in hand.(looking at the door of the apartment)
Garcon continues to eat ice cream...
A strong wind continues to blow.
(Annoyed,) KATAGI:
He's not coming back!
(CONTINUED)
30.
GARCON
Well, … wait. If Ian's not coming back
here, where is he going? Patience.
Patience. OK?
KATAGI
I go crazy if I do not move!
GARCON
What's wrong with you? Calm down.
Silence for a while.
KATAGI
You saw that girl, didn't you?
GARCON
What?
KATAGI
The girl... The girl who talked to
us in that commune, she was saying
some strange things. Her eyes reminds
me of the eyes of my girlfriend.
GARCON:
"...”
KATAGI:
My girlfriend was getting some medication.
She's talking about her feeling always.
She says this world is going crazy. I do
not know what I reply for her feeling.
Garcon:
"...”
KATAGI:
This world is crazy, … yes, sometimes
I feel it is.
Garcon:
Even if the world is crazy, we're just
doing what we have to do. It is true that
we all have the seeds of sin in us, but
we must not cultivate them. And,... as
policemen, we're the watchdogs of the human
society.
(CONTINUED)
31.
KATAGI
Hey, Garcon, huh! Well, ...you're just
an opportunist!!
Garcon
Mmm. Maybe, you're getting tired...
Yeah,..you're tired. Today, you go home.
It is the better way for now...
Katagi turns away and leaves.
Time passes for a while. A while after.
Suddenly, a tall white man is seen with his hand on the front door
of the apartment. Garcon hurries up to him.
The tall white man, putting his hand on the front door-knob, tries
to open it.
Garcon
Ian? Are you Ian, right?
Ian turns around.
Garcon
I am from Bay Area Police. I'd like to
ask you a few questions. Can you make
some time for them?
Ian
What do you,police-men want from me?
Garçon
I'd like to ask you some questions about
incidents, which are happening in this
huge city.
Ian
...I don't think I can tell you anything
that will help you , the police.
Garcon
OK. I went to the BODISAWA COMMUNE,
BODI.COM. , you know
Ian's facial-expression changes. Unnatural eyeballs movements.
Garcon
This's not an official investigation.
(CONTINUED)
32.
But I expect you might be able to tell me
something related to this case.
Ian, ...silent for a moment.
Ian:
..Would you like to have a nice drink?
Garçon:
What?
Ian
I think we're both tired. I know a good
place. Detective, how about a drink?
Ian's eyes, crystal clear.
Garcon
All right.
44 EXT. Chinatown, Neon District (night)
The neon lights in the nite-city...
Ian
What do you think, Detective? The
atmosphere around here.
Garcon
It reminds me of my young-adult days.
In my early 20s. It's a distant memory
now. Before I became a cop. Back then,
I was an Olympian and they gave me a
scholarship to college. The money I made
from my part-time job went to be paid for
all the fun around here.
Ian
Huh. It was before becoming a cop...
Garcon
At first, I didn't want to be a cop.
But when the FBI saw me at the Olympics,
they came to recruit me into their group.
'Cos I got the gold medal in the shooting
event...
(CONTINUED)
33.
Ian
That's amazing.
Garçon
I got the shooting talent from God.
I was the natural-born. I won the
gold medal with very little effort.
Ian
Huh.
Garcon
But I made a big big mistake in the work...,
woman. Yeah,...woman. I was part of an
FBI operation, and I leaked some inside
information to a woman I met in a bar. She
was actually a female spy from smugglers.....
Ian
And?
Garcon
The operation got fail. I was expelled from
the section.
I've been working hard since then.
The only thing I could do was shooting.
I had to relearn the basics of the crimeinvestigation
techniques. Seven years later
from then, I received a merit award from
the mayor. But...
Ian
But?
Garcon
My wife left me. I was working too hard...
I did not even have the time to talk with
my wife and kid...
Ian
So now you're...
Garcon
Yap. I live alone.
The two walk down the street at night, talking.

Ian
BODISAWA is a transcendent being beyond
human in the ancient Indian legend … … …
Anyways, It's a fancy bar.
46 INT. BODISAWA Cafe (indoor, night)
Inside the café, there is a lot of Indian art.
Ian
That's it. That's the BODISAWA!
Ian points to a large painting on the wall.
In The painting, there you see a golden-skinned woman floating in
the sky on a cloud.
Garcon

Ian:

of this place.
Garçon
Nice to meet you.
Madame BODISAWA
Nice to meet you too.
Garcon smiles.
Madame Bodisawa
Ian, is this person your friend?
Ian
No, he's not. He's actually a detective.
Madame Bodisawa
What?
Ian
There have been strange murders in this
city recently..., mmm... Don't you see
the news on TV, Madam?
Madame Bodisawa (FROM HERE:MADAM-B):
Oh, I remember... mmm
Ian:
And this cop is feeling suspicious of me...
Garçon
No.., at least, not yet... I just want
to ask you some.
Ian
And you know, it's more fun to talk here,
right? That's why I brought you here.
MADAM-B
Hmm. Why don't you go into the private
room in the back?
(CONTINUED)
36.
47 INT. Private room - NIGHT
Garcon and Ian walk in. They sit down on the sofa.
Garcon
Let's get started. Ian, you belong to
that BODISAWA-Commune, right?
Ian:
Yes.
Garcon:
In the case of the Bay Area serial killings,
the killer left some strange words on the
walls of the crime scene, so we hit the
commune.
Ian:
I see.
Garçon:
I've done some research. You haven't been
back to the commune in a while. That's
why we've been looking for you. Why?
Ian
The commune didn't suit me.
Garçon
That's it?
Ian
That's it. I am free where I am living, right?
Garcon
・・・・・. We believe there are four killers.
We think they're all knowing each other,
and having the same crazy philosophy...
mad idea... to do killings in the case...
Just then, MADAM-B walked in.
MADAM-B
How are you two doing? How's it going?
I'll buy you your first drink, Cop!
MADAM-B puts three glasses of red wine on the table in front of
the two.
(CONTINUED)
37.
Madam-B:
Can I join you?
Madam-B stares meaningfully at Garçon's face.
Garçon
I'm interviewing Ian. I don't think
he's a criminal, but I need to. I do
not mind you join us, Madame.
How 'bout U, Ian?
Ian
I'll tell you everything I know. MADAM,
you can stay here too. I don't mind.
Garcon is looking at the watch on Ian.
Garçon
You have a nice watch.
Ian
Yes.
Ian has a cool red watch.
Garcon
I have the same one. I am not wearing
it today, though. But I'm sure it's
a nice piece!
Madam-B sits down next to Garçon.
Madam-B
I don't enjoy discussing watches!
Let's talk about something else, Garçon.
Are you married, Garcon?
Madam-B says so, and puts her hand on Garçon's leg.
Garçon
My wife left me.
Madam-B
Then you must be lonely...?
Ian
It's kind of like hearing U today,isn't it,
Monsieur Garçon?”
(CONTINUED)
38.
Madam-B stares into Garson's eyes.
Madam-B
I'm not married, either.
Ian
Madame, ...you like Mr Garçon, hum?
ok.. I'm leaving.
Ian leaves.
Garçon
Oh, come on.
Madam-B
It's fine.
Garçon
Mmmm...
Madam-B:

Madam-B
I'm going to take a shower.
Garçon turns on the TV. It's a cartoon. He watches it a while.
Sound ; door opening sound Garçon turns around.
Madam-B comes out of the shower room, naked. She walks towards
Garson closer.
Madame
I am BODISAWA. I will take you to my paradise...
Madam-B's nude skin turns gold-color.
Then, Madam-B floats in the air.
Garçon
What? What is it? Is it because of the
beer I just had?
Countless hands sprout from Madame's back.
Garçon
Beautiful ・・・・

Good morning, Mike, John.
Garçon looks at Mike's leg for a while.
Garcon
Mike, what's wrong with your leg?
KATAGI
He'd got injured while doing surfin', he said.

Mike, be careful,ok? You're an important in
our team.
Mike sees up at the space... a bit.
Mike
Well...
Garcon
Well, ... let's have a good day!

KATAGI
Hey, Garcon, you're in a good mood this

Mike
Really. You're smiling, which is rare.

once.
53 EXT. Sukhumvit District (evening)
Katagi is driving down a tree-lined street.
He looks to be off duty and is dressed in plain clothes.
He's lookin' beyond the window, thinking about something.
Suddenly, he has noticed something out there.
KATAGI
What the hell is that?
He sees a strange boy in his sight from his car. A young Asian
man with long hair is swinging a wooden sword outside a house,
showing the serious face. KATAGI pulls his car to the side of the
young man (TETSUO). After getting out of the car, Katagi walks to
the young man. The young man does not look at Katagi. Just
continues to swing the wooden sword again and again.
KATAGI
You're Japanese, aren't you?
The young man stops swinging the wooden sword.
54 INT. In the car - TWILIGHT
KATAGI is driving his car and the young man TETSUO's sitting in

Beer cans … … … around the room floor.
KATAGI
I was just like you..., when I was studying
here as a student. I just think me as a superpower-
man just by myself.
TETSUO
I feel this society is really just full
of shit.
Just then, TETSUO's cell phone rings.
TETSUO answers the phone.
TETSUO
Hey, I got a call. Sorry,... I'm going
to the balcony.
After a while, TETSUO comes back from the room's balcony.
KATAGI
A woman? Huh?
Suddenly Tetsuo gets becoming serious, and says.
TETSUO
・・・・・This person's really, really
important to me. Hhhuuu..
KATAGI stares at him silently, and puts down his beer...

Madam-B was working at the bar counter. Sees Tetsuo.
Madam-B
You're late!
TETSUO goes to the hidden room of the underground bar.
“Room of the Five Spirits” ..., this seems the name of the secret
room. The room name sign hangs on the above wall of the door.
The five persons of them gather together in the room.

disappeared into the block-digital-hologram-noises, and IAN's face
appeared. Ian was a killer! But, he is covering and hiding his
real face under the high-tech digital hologram, which he made!
*DAIT... or Daito, the sword-user.
・・・・ TETSUO's called by this killer name DAIT.
NDALI:
“ Hey, ・・・ TETSUO, ・・・・・・ oh, sorry, ・・・ DAITO !! ”

KONG(Looking at NDALI&DAIT,)
DAITO! Don't say like that to Ndali. NDALI

Garcon
Sure. I'll meet you outside of the
station today. Let's meet at the
Starbucks Cafe very near to the Sukhumvit
station. The basis of the investigation is
interviews. Right? The basic principle
of any investigation is to ask questions.
Yes. When you put the whole info-pieces
together, you will get results, … the truth.
Anyways, today we'll go to any place that
we can get to, and we'll ask around 'bout
BODISAWA.
66 INT. Cafe at Sukhumvit -DAY
Garcon and Katagi are seated face to face.
Garcon
This city, as you know, has a multilayered
network of oversea cultures. All are linked
together... This's that kind of city here.
I love this city because of those links
between different cultures... But there're
such people who try to use those links as
the breeding ground for evil crimes.
KATAGI
Yeah. We must get'em. They should be in
prison, right?
(CONTINUED)
50.
Garcon
That's right. Today, now we split up.
And investigate both of the city sides!
KATAGI
OK. Alright.

in different directions..........

Katagi is concentrating on listening to them, people there.
70 INT. The Store of the culture of India -DAY
Meanwhile, Garcon is asking some questions to an Indian man in a
masala-style tapestry shop. The interior is decorated like a room
of the ancient Indian style, with posters of the image of the
Bodisava inside. Garcon's cell phone rings. Garcon answers his
cell phone.
Garcon
Yes. This is Detective Garcon.
(CONTINUED)

Madam- Bodhisattva (BODISAWA)
(the person calling Garcon): "It's me..”
Garcon

time you saw me, right?
Garçon, looking at a beautiful poster of an imaginary Bodisava.
And, he scratches his head.

Garçon appears.
Garcon
Ugh... I'm here.... well well …

Garcon

I'm crazy about MADAM-B... I know it is
not good. I am a policeman. I need to
control myself... But I can't. Maybe I've
been single too long...?
Garcon's cell phone rings!
Garcon
SHIT!
Garçon switches off his cell phone.
72 EXT. Street -DAY
KATAGI's cell phone rings. He answers.
KATAGI
What? Mike's body was found in the
Chao Phraya River!? So that means that
the attacker was Mike?! Right? Was Mike
an enemy from the beginning?”
(CONTINUED)
52.
Katagi looks up the sky there...
KATAGI
.....there was the day when Mike was at
the station late at night. He said that
he had come to pick up something he had
forgotten...
At that time, Mike was facing backwards,
trying to leave the room..... Oh,my!
That was unnatural! He was spying on
both of us! And he was just leaving!!
Katagi puts his one finger on his forehead.
KATAGI
On that night, ... I didn't notice it.
I should have been more careful about
our surroundings!
(Flashback; Mike ... caught in the bucket in the dark at
P.Station)
KATAGI
Yeah, it was weird that I saw Mike's
back when he held up. So, now I know...
that meant he was on his way to leave the
front of the room where we'd been. Well...,
I'm foolish foolish foolish!
Mike was listening our talk!!
Now he … got shot/drowned.
・・・・・・・・KONG shot/drowned
73 INT.Madame B's room. -DAY

hands hold Garçon. Garçon smiles.

move at my will.
75 INT. DON BOSCO Thai Catholic Church - TWILIGHT
Garcon, praying.
A human-like figure approaches to him... (an angel?)
Garcon (looking at the figure),
"・・・Hmm.Mmm.”
The human-like, Angel-like figure says:
Garcon..., You are now captured by the demon.
Seize wisdom and Hold on to the teachings of
the Bible, and don't forget them.
THEN, the bell tower of the church rings.
Garçon looks at the bell tower. THEN, When Garcon looks

Garcon
Was that an Angel...?

neighborhood...
78 EXT. In front of Bodisawa's apartmen t -DAY
Garcon and Katagi're on a stakeout. The two of them're in a
parked car. (In a plainclothes detective car.)
Garcon
That window, that window with the red
curtains....! That's Bodisawa's room. But
John, … you think the woman who calls
herself Bodhisattva is a deeply-related person
for this case? Eh … ?
Katagi
Mmmm. It's my imagination... I was
drawing a picture of this case … YES. I got
it from the interviews I did. An Asian woman
who calls herself Bodhisattva(BODISAWA) is in
that zone. Or, some say MADAM-B. She is known
by her bar colleagues for her self-righteousness.
This woman seems to be a wicked user of some
drugs & witchcraft. I think she was mindcontrolling
four killer men.
(CONTINUED)
55.
She must have commanded her men to
carry out the murders. That's what I
think happened.
Garçon
What? (in a panic) What? You think
that's the structure of this crazy case?
BLACK.
CUT TO:
SUPER:
“ACT 6”
(-in SAME scene OF 78-)
KATAGI
It's just my thought.
GARCON
There's no movement today. For now,
we get back.
79 EXT. Sukhumvit Zone (night) (This 79-80 scene is P.O.V. -
the audience's point of view is the killer's point of view.)
You see a hand wearing a red watch, holding a gun.
The hand and the gun chase after the victim...
The victim turns around and rushes away from us(the audience).
The killer's gun fires. The victim falls down.
The victim:
"Hey, please let me run away... Why are
you shooting at me? Oh, yeah..., I did
bad things, yeah. I've made a lot of money
with my useless diet machines. But why do
you have to shoot me? No relation."
(CONTINUED)
56.
80 EXT. From the city-back-street (Night) to the Cape (Shooter's
POV)
On the screen, you see a hand with a red watch pointing a gun at
the victim. The gun front is running after the victim back.
Then gradually you will see the Cape.
Victim (to the killer)
What? What?! Alrighty, yeah, …
You're that BODISAWA's messenger being
who saves people? Ho! So, you wanna
say like that! You want to send me to
the other side so that bad guys like me
can't do any more bad things? And that's
supposed to be the salvation of my soul?
You have no right to judge me! your
master BODISAWA's insane!!
The killer's gun fires.
The victim, in a panic, slips and falls off into the water.
81 Black screen
Voice A
Mr. Mayor! You have come all the way
to here...!? HOW COME?
The mayor's voice
I heard that you'd got another victim
of the freak murder! As the city's mayor,
I can't just watch this anymore. Mmm...,
Cannot stand any longer! Where is the
Expert from the Tokyo Metropolitan
Police Department? With such a great
help, why you haven't caught the killer?
I wanna see the expert from Tokyo!
From the black screen to : VIEW of the station inside. (Katagi
takes off his blanket from his head)
82 INT.Police Station, ...inside the station (morning)
KATAGI
It's me. I'm really sorry, Mayor. I'm
really sorry. But I've gotten quite
important information.
(CONTINUED)
57.
(Mayor walks over to Katagi.)
MAYOR
Tell me.
KATAGI
In the city's greater zones,
there's a commune,..... where
people live together,seemingly
in some cult way of something of
Japanese ideas.
Mayor is looking at Katagi deeply.
KATAGI
I have found that out through my
interviews. Well, some of their
trainings're looking like the Japanese
Buddhist ways. But it is not true.
The philosophy of the Buddha no longer
exists there! It is a group of people
who use crazy drugs,and cheat people,and
they're killing. …over-using drugs,
changed them to the ones who got some
different personalities in one mind.
Mmmmm... mmmmm, it is complexed...
mmm. Hum.
mmmi.
KATAGI is putting his palm on his forhead.
KATAGI
Well,...I mean, if you were in there,
you're no longer a unified. You'll
be a person who goes back and forth
between the separate monster-like
personality and the normal. So, It's
an evil organization of the evil
dimension. Mmmmm, I am not a good
explainer... though.
Mayor
What do you want me to do?
KATAGI
With your full authority, give me the
OK to my operation.
(CONTINUED)
58.
MAYOR:
"What?”
KATAGI:
We're going in that camp! Yes, it
is today! … with our police force
of Bangkok.
At that moment, the phone at the station rings.
Subordinate A picks up the phone.
Subordinate A
...yeah, I see, I'm kind of in the
middle of something...
Garcon arrives at work. He is wearing a red watch.
KATAGI notices the watch and looks at it.
Garcon
You're kind of busy. Hum..?
KATAGI
We're now going into that camp! Alright?
Garcon
Okay.
KATAGI, GARCON, and another policeman go outside.
Subordinate A watches them, holding the receiver.
He looks at Garson's red watch...
Subordinate A
What, what? A red watch? Oh, hey,
Detective Garcon!
The three men leave, and get into a police car and a heavy truck.
After they got into a police car and a heavy truck, the
Subordinate A said,
(A) :
"They're gone, well, it's probably
just a coincidence. The victim, who
was about to be killed, fell into the
river, was swept away, and was saved
by a fishing boat.... The killer was
wearing a red watch. ・・・・・.”
Subordinate A thought about it for a while, then poured himself a
cup of coffee and has it...,
(CONTINUED)
59.
Subordinate A
A red watch is a common watch, right?
But...but...mmm
Subordinate A puts down his coffee and leaves the station with a
small milk drink in his hand.
83 EXT. Commune of Evil (Daytime)
There is a big red tent in the field. There, a police car appears
with sirens. Followed by a heavy truck. The cars stop in front
of the commune. Katagi comes out of the police car. He puts his
walkie-talkie near his mouth and says;
KATAGI
The missing girls are trapped inside this
tent. Now, we go in!
Armed police come out of a heavy truck. The officers enter the
tent. KATAGI looks that scene.
(Walkie-talkie in hand) KATAGI
How's it going?
POLICEMAN
They're here, 20 of them. There are 20 of

missing and being searched for. The
perpetrator... I can't find him. Anyway,
we'll release the girls.
84 EXT. Field -DAY
Twenty girls come running out of the red tent. They run to
Katagi.
The girls say, :
"Thank you! Thank you!!”
After that, a policeman comes out with TETSUO (DAITO) in
handcuffs.
POLICEMAN:
You...,DAITO? Mmm... you might be in
prison for 115 years...
(CONTINUED)
60.
KATAGI
TE..., TETSUO...!
KATAGI, with his tears going down the cheeks.....
Garcon
What's the matter?
KATAGI
No, it's okay, it's personal.
Let's go.
KATAGI and GARCON enter the commune hut. (with guns in hand)
85 INT. Inside the tent -DAY
KATAGI and GARCON enter. Madame-BODISAVA (MADAM-B) is there!
At that moment, a race car breaks through the wall and enters.
It's Ian (NDALI) , who is driving the race-car.
Ian has a red watch on his hand. Then, THE POLICEMAN A comes in.
A:
Red watch! It wasn't Detective Garson,
I knew it! Yes, I knew it!
The Policeman-A, Quickly throws a hand grenade into the race car.
The car explodes. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ NDALI got explosion.
Madam B , with an expression of anger.
KATAGI
HOLD your hands up. Do not make
pointless resistance.
KATAGI's gun is pointed onto the Madame-B.
Madame-B winks.
Suddenly, Garçon, who was standing beside Katagi, points
his gun onto Katagi!
KATAGI:
"What?”
Garçon:
My body is moving by itself! Some
kind of control on to me!!ahh!
Garcon's face is covered in sweat.
(CONTINUED)
61.
Garcon
My fingers! ・・・・ My finger!!...,
oh,my finger, it's about to pull
the trigger.aahh...!
Suddenly then, a white milk splash comes down to Garcon's red
watch.
The white milk covers the red watch!
Garcon comes back to his senses.
A:
The red watch and the will to kill, …!
THAT was hypnosis, .........
that was witchcraft!!"
86 EXT. Field – DAY
The sound of a helicopter propeller...
In the meantime, Madam-B had jumped onto the jet helicopter
piloted by ZANZE. The silver jet helicopter flies up.
ZANZE, in the cockpit, smiles from the cockpit.
The trainees with backpack-jets on their backs try to follow the
helicopter. The trainees fly away.
Garcon
That's what the flying demon is!
Madam-B and her men were planning
their own made Armageddon!!
The trainees suddenly lose their backpack-powers energy and fall
into the sea.
KATAGI
A split in the crew! Madam-B cut
the AI program remotely...!
The girls

Chief (via walkie-talkie)
All right. I'll send out a specially
armed VTOL. Wait.
ZANZE (from cockpit) :
"Goodbye!”
ZANZE's jet helicopter gets away.
A little while later, with a roar, an armed VTOL appears above
Katagi.
It lands on his side.
The pilot
(Willie Jabberwocky, a black female pilot of
the U.S. Army in Thailand) says, :
"Mr. KATAGI, get in! I'm Willie Jabberwocky, the pilot."
KATAGI gets into the VTOL.
The girls saved from the commune
Wow, So cool. MASTER KATAGI. You have to date me
sometime! Master Katagi!
VTOL flies up.
The two planes chase over BANGKOK.

After it, JET HELI gets to the high residential tower build.area.
There, KATAGI'S VTOL got the very close to JET HELI.

JET HELI at the highest speed flies towards the commercial drive.
Some shops there... and JET HELI flies over the drive.
From JET HELI's pilot room, the drive view is wide and straight
ahead, and the sky is so blue.
JET HELI goes and goes running away from VTOL at max speed.
Then JET HELI turns left.
VTOL also turns left after JET HELI.
The TWO both at the max speed!
88 INT. Inside KATAGI's VTOL -DAY

this time.”
KATAGI and the pilot smile at each other.
91 EXT. Sea (evening)
The two planes go out to sea. A high-speed chase!!!
The GPS on the VTOL console is calculating their position.
KATAGI points at the GPS and stares at it. The plane will pass
through the Gulf of Thailand!
KATAGI
This course... leads us to...?!
Pilot
Yeah, they're going to leave Indochina
and go to Nepal!
KATAGI
We'll be in trouble... Is this a
violation of airspace?
Pilot
mmm... yes... Shall we attack?
KATAGI
Wait a minute. First of all,
a warning: Stop. If you don't,
we'll shoot you down.
The helicopter ignored the warning.
Combat begins.
Chase.
VTOL fires.
ZANZE's helicopter easily dodges.
KATAGI
Those guys are trained in flight simulator
games, you know...
(CONTINUED)
65.
The helicopter slows down rapidly.
The VTOL is backed up by the helicopter (passing upward).
KATAGI
Oh no, it's got our back.
The helicopter fires a missile.
VTOL avoids it.
Pilot
That heli got another missile!
We can't outrun it at this distance!
Comms: "It's Stein. Remote launch!”
The VTOL which TAKAGI and THE PILOT were in, does the dummy
ejection, by the remote-control with the mechanic, Thomas Stein's
decision.

The man of the tapping hand (JJ Garcon D. Hawk-Jar)
Mr.KATAGI?
KATAGI
Yes!
Hawk-Jar (Garcon) shows KATAGI his Bangkok Police LICENCE notes.
KATAGI, somewhat suspiciously, checks.
KATAGI
Mr. Garcon Hawk-Jar?
Jacob Joe GARCON Drake Hawk-Ja... RIGHT?
GARCON
Yes, I am the Investigator of the Bangkok
Police Department. My full name is hornoring
my anscestors from my great-grandfather, so
it's a kind of long name, so you can call
me Garçon. You must be Mr. ・・・
Jusaburo Katagi, right?
Your picture was attached to an e-mail
from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police
Department. Welcome to Thailand. It's not
like that Sherlock Holmes hometown of London,
where you're invited to Royal tea, ・・・
but Pad-Thai is also fine. It's cool to be
a bangkok style guy.
KATAGI
You're a hyper person,I feeli.
I know this city very well.
GARCON
Right, yeah. It is true.
Mr. Jo, Josaburo Katagi.
KATAGI
That's true. I lived in this city for
two years when I was a student.
At that time, I was called Giovannes,
yes, John.
GARCON
Josaburo ... is difficult. Can I
call you John too?
KATAGI
OK.

John, please come in.

Garçon
I'm going to make some coffee, so
why don't you sit at the table and
look at some magazines?
KATAGI
Thanks.
KATAGI sits at the table. There is a photo album on the table.
KATAGI
Can I look at this?
Garcon
Oh, the album. It's good. I was seeing
it yesterday. Mmm
KATAGI opens the album.
Garçon
Oh, go ahead and listen to Thai music
on those hyper-resolution headphones
over there
John uses them (headsets)

Garcon
There was a time when I dreamed of a
happy family.
KATAGI
Is she your wife?
Garcon
Actually, she left with the kid a few
years ago. I haven't seen her for a
few years.
KATAGI
I beg your pardon.
Garcon
It's okay. Don't worry about it. I've been
terribly busy with work...and it's my fault
for not being good at expressing my love.
Are You married, John?
KATAGI
I'm single.
Garcon
I saw your profile from the Tokyo
Metropolitan Police Department. You seem
pretty good at amateur boxing.
Do try Muay Thai here.
Wanna be a Muay-Thai fighter, right?
KATAGI smiles a bit.

KATAGI
Actually, I may have a weired personality.....
For a long time, I didn't even realize it,
but I may be a mother's boy..
Garcon
Hahahahahaha! (Big laugh)
KATAGI laughs along with GARCON's loud laughter.
Garcon
John, I'm starting to like you. Then you
might be a genius. There're many geniuses
mother's boys. John Lennon was too.
14 EXT. Bangkok city (outside, daytime)
Crowded streets. Colourful town. Many many people...
15 INT. In the car driven by Garcon (daytime)
KATAGI in the passenger seat talks to GARCON. The Bangkok Bay
Area is seen from the window.
KATAGI
So, why in the world did you invite me?
(After a bit bit while) GARCON
There are two reasons. John. John, you
studied here in this country before. So,
we can communicate with you in a heart-toheart
manner. And...
Garcon takes a photo out of his pocket and shows it to Katagi.
Garcon
I was wondering if you could tell me what
this means.
KATAGI looks at the photo.
Garcon
At first I thought it was Chinese, so
I asked the detective of Chinese root,
but he said it wasn't.

KATAGI is looking at the crazy photos.
GARCON:
” Sometimes, we, crazy section are called B-ZON E forc e...”
(After a while,) KATAGI
Oh, this is not Chinese. This is not Chinese.
"Tenchu" and "Akunin Shoki".....mmm...
...It's Japanese.
GARCON (turns to KATAGI)
So what does it mean?
KATAGI (still staring at the picture)
They are two unrelated words. Even the times
of Japanese History... TENCHU means PUNISHED.
Yeah,Tenchu is to punish, and Akunin Shoki is ....
But it's weird ..........Why is this in BANGKOK?
Garcon
What do you mean?
KATAGI
In 1185AD, the samurai government of
KAMAKURA Shogunate was born in Japan.
However, the time has moved to the era
of the Latter Day of the Law. It was the
really-bad time... Akunin- Shoki,.. is
the word of Shinran, a founder of a
Japanese Buddhist Group. He emerged in
that era. The archaeological studies
say he got influenced by the Nestorius
Christians of the Mongolian Asia.
Garcon
What does the words mean?
KATAGI
Sinner-People Are The Ones Who'll Be Saved.
Garcon
・・・(silence)
(CONTINUED)
9.
KATAGI
His saying is meaning like this・・・
In the eyes of Buddha, who sees everything,
who are looking at even the smallest sins,
who knows everything about people's lives,
all people are sinners.
...But the Buddha promises absolutely to
save all such sinner-ones, and bring them
to the blessed land. Shinran interpreted
Buddhism like that. However,there were
ones in Japan who took this wrongly. They
did rather evil and bad things.
Garcon
I'm not good at philosophy.... But
sometimes criminals have their own
philosophies. In my thirty years with
the Bangkok Police Department,I've seen
perverts, junkies, psychoes, and more,
but this is the fuckin craziest.
18 INT. Inside the police station - NIGHT
(At the corner desk, night)
There seemed to be no one except Katagi and Garcon. On the side,
an AI computing robot with a wheel-moving device is bringing tea.
Garcon
That's an AI robot-assistant made by
Thomas Stein, a mechanic / cyber-cop
at this station. This robot is taking
care of things related to the internet
matters and analyzing here.
KATAGI
Bringing tea too?
Garcon
Yes, very nice guy, huh? I don't know
much about the structure... (laughs) But
the robot-creator, Stein, is an interesting,
and genius guy. (laughs) He seems to have
studied technology somewhere far away.
I heard … he used to work for the Korean
police for 10 years developing their IT systems.
A light's on near the corner-desk. Garcon is showing Katagi the
crime scene pics.
(CONTINUED)
10.
Garcon
Right now, there are four victims.
Each crime scene was in a completely
different location.
The occupations of the victims were
also unrelated.
It's unlikely that one killer did all.
However, they always leave that
same message. Such as AKUNIN-SHOKI&Tenchu.
Each handwriting is different.
KATAGI looks at the four photos.
19 Photo #1: Red-Hooded black man dead, blowing bubbles from
mouth,... might be hit, punched till death.
20 Photo #2: White man in suit - Sword wounded. Lying in his room.
21 Photo #3: A preacher-man - He is lying in an unnatural position
with his eyes, open.
22 Photo #4: Asian Fat man, ...Shot dead.
23 INT. Garcon's desk.(Interior) – NIGHT
GARCON
#1 is on heavy poison … … … Was a Drug
dealer. #2 was a politician. He got
killed with a sword. #3 was a preacher.
#4 ...........a body, shot dead found
in Chinatown's garbage. They can't all
have been done by the same one person...
KATAGI
But all got the same wall message...
Garcon
Yes. It could be a group crime.
Do you think this's some political message?
KATAGI
TENCHU was the word used by an assassin-group
called the Shinsengumi in the end times of
the Japanese Samourai Era.
(CONTINUED)
11.
However, it has nothing to do with the
word, AKUNIN-SHOKI.
Garcon
Can you tell me again about the
term 'AKUNIN-SHOKI' ?
KATAGI
I only had just a small lecture of it
when I was in high. … OK … Well …
in the Kamakura period of 1185 to 1333,
the time was extremely bad... Many said
the end times would come soon to Japan.
It is a philosophy to live in such extreme
times...
Garcon
Hmmm. My parents are Puritans.
I heard … that in the early Christian church,
there was a belief that the world would end
soon after the ascension of Jesus Christ.
Katagi
Mmm. So, during that Kamakura era, in the
Latter Day Thought, a new religious thought
called Jodo-Shinshu was born. The founder was
Shinran. It is said to be similar to
Christianity. He was also said to be influenced
by the Nestorian Christians in the ancient China.
Garcon
WOW.
BLACK.
FADE IN:
SUPER:
“ACT 2”
(continued night interior of 23)
KATAGI
Shinran said, … Buddha saves persons who're
truly aware of one's human nature as hopeless
person. That evil person is the primal purpose
of Amida Buddha’s working.
(CONTINUED)
12.
Garcon
Evil people are the ones who should be
saved... mmm. Christ also said that
he came into the world to save sinners.
KATAGI
Now, we shouldn't think in too deep...
This type of murderer is a self-righteous
person who takes only what he likes from
religious doctrines and perverts them to
justify murder. We just need to arrest
them, and throw them in jail.
Garcon
That's a simple but brilliant motivation.
We're not lawyers. Cops should be simple.
KATAGI, and Garcon look at each other.
Garcon
John, I'm really glad you're here.
Thanks to your knowledge, we can at
least narrow down the organizations
that might have some connection.
KATAGI pats his own forehead.
KATAGI
I haven't done anything yet.
Garcon
Your brain is needed. We can have t
he way to the goal with you. Thanks.
KATAGI
Well, I'm glad.
Garcon
Since you're going to be here for a
long time, I've already found you an
apartment. You should rest now.
Suddenly, there was a big sound of hitting steal! There was a
noise. It echoed in the darkness of the hallway.
Garcon and Katagi
What the hell!

KATAGI, getting his gun in hands. KATAGI goes out into the
corridor with his gun in his arms.
24 INT. Police station, hallway (night)
KATAGI holds up a gun. A figure in the darkness. Garcon turns on
the hallway light. A black man in simple clothes is standing
there, illuminated by the light. The black man is raising his
hands. His back is towards us (to screen).
KATAGI
Don't move!
GARCON
...Mike?
KATAGI
Mike?
The black man turns around with his hand raised.
Garcon
Hey, Mike. You are Mike.
The trash can lies on the floor by Mike's side.
Mike
It was dark, so I hit this trash can
by my foot.
Garcon
John, put the gun down.
Katagi puts his gun down.
Garcon
This man is Mike,... he is our colleague.
Mike
Nice to see you... Sorry about this.
Garcon
We got this nice man, Katagi from Japan
to investigate that case. Do you remember?
Mike
Yeah, … Oh, you are. (Looking at Katagi)

KATAGI
Nice to meet you. I'm John. John KATAGI.
Mike, walking up to KATAGI's side.
Mike
I'm Mike. Nice to meet you. Welcome to
Bangkok from Tokyo.
Garcon
But, Mike. Why are you here now? You're
off now.
Mike
I came to pick up something I forgot.
Garcon
I see.
Mike
Well,... I'll see you again when I'm on
duty. Bye.
Mike leaves.
25 INT. Gym in the police station (next day, noon) – DAY
The gym is fully equipped with rings, sandbags, headgear, and
workout equipment.
Several officers are working out, jumping rope, etc.
Katagi walks in, wearing a T-shirt and jersey pants. KATAGI takes
his place and begins to stretch. KATAGI heads for the punching
ball. KATAGI hits the punching ball lightly and rhythmically.
The officers
Wow! Nice movement.
KATAGI goes to the sandbag and punches into it rhythmically with a
combination of hitting. The other police officers look at his
amazing movements.
Police Officer A
That Japanese guy's got great moves.
Police Officer B
That's no amateur.
(CONTINUED)
15.
Mike is also watching Katagi. Mike folds his arms and stares at
KATAGI. KATAGI steps in and out towards the sandbag and punches
strongly. Mike approaches KATAGI, taking off his own shirt
slowly.
Mike
Hey John. You look like Cesar Chavez.
KATAGI stops moving and breathes on his shoulder.
KATAGI
My ideal style is a Mexican boxer.
Mike
I heard you got some great records for
the policeman's box games in Japan, right?
Garcon said so.
KATAGI
I've been asked to go pro. YEAH. Mike.
Hello again.
Mike, putting on his glove.
Mike
… … going pro, huh. OK. Get in the ring,
LET'S PLAY.
The officers clap to Mike;
Officer A
Hey Mike,there's a size difference between
you and he.
(Turning to KATAGI) Mike
Do not come in if you're scared, Kid.
KATAGI (preparing)
You're gonna regret this, Mike. HAHA!
The officers
Oh my!
Mike
John, You can't come to work tomorrow! come on!
The two men face each other in the ring.
(CONTINUED)
16.
In the ring, Katagi starts circling with the steps.
There is a clear difference in size. KATAGI keeps his distance,
but Mike extends a long jab. KATAGI closes the distance and jabs
out. It hits Mike's face.
The cops
Oh!
Mike
Damn!
KATAGI continues jabs at Mike's face, with repeated steps in/out.
Mike
Shit! Shit!
Officer B
John Katagi! He's awesome! He's always
winning the department's boxing tournaments
in Japan. Yes, Garcon said that.
Cop C
Look. John's moves! He's like Bruce Lee!
Mike
Damn! Damn! You're like a bee!
Mike holds over Katagi's body. KATAGI can't get out of his hands.
Mike starts hitting Katagi's body.
The cops
That's not good!
Then Garçon comes in.
Garçon
You're making a lot of noise... That's
John and Mike...!?
Cop C
That'll be a historical battle in this
station! Boss!
Cop B
I don't know why, but Mike started to get
on John's nerves.
Garcon
HolyShit

Mike grabs Katagi and continues to punch him in the body.
Mike
I told you! I told you, You can't come
to work tomorrow!
KATAGI shakes Mike off at once.
Mike
...! You bastard! Why don't you behave
yourself!
Mike covers KATAGI again. He grabs the t-shirt. KATAGI twists
his body with great speed.
Mike
Whoa!
Mike is blown away. A piece of KATAGI's T-shirt is in his hand.
The t-shirt is ripped off, exposing KATAGI's upper body. His back
muscles are sculpted like a Greek or Roman sculpture.
Police Officer C
Look. That back. How did he work out
like that?
Katagi looks down at Mike. Mike stands up.
Mike
I'm not done with you yet, John KATAGI!
KATAGI prepares to fight. Suddenly, the bell rings. KATAGI and
Mike turn around. Garcon stands in front of the bell.
Garcon

28 EXT. At the foot of Chao Phraya Park (evening TWILIGHT)
A businessman (NAME:ZANZE) wearing glasses is smoking a cigarette,

ZANZE!
The businessman turns around. A large man with a full hood is
approaching. His face is not seen even a bit, covered by a deep
dark shadow...
The big man
How are you doing? ZANZE?
Businessman (ZANZE)
Not too bad. How about you, KONG?
A large-man (KONG)

ZANZE
It's useless. There's no proof.
KONG
Well,... this time we need to prepare.

ZANZE
They'll never trace us. I feel it
KONG
Well, we'll have to be careful. OK?

You should go home for tonight. Ok?
JOHN KATAGI (voice only)
Yeah. I will...
GARCON (voice only)

Sound(More gunfire.) : "BANG!”
Sparks fly between KATAGI and GARCON.
KATAGI
It's not a joke time, Garcon. This is

KATAGI fires a few more shots in the direction of the enemy's
gunfire. KATAGI fires some more again. Sparks fly.
Garcon
Your gun skills are quite bad. Very bad
(Garcon says this and he pulls his gun out of his coat.)
Garcon gets out of the shadow of the car a bit, and fires a one
shot.
A sound of the fire!
A shout in the distance:
Aaah!
KATAGI got amazed.
KATAGI
That's right, yeah, … Garcon. you were

KATAGI in the passenger seat, GARCON is driving the wheels.
KATAGI
I couldn't find any Japanese Buddhist
temples in the Bay Area.
GARCON
Mmm... I see.
KATAGI
But I found a suspicious cult settlement
from the info of Internet,... It's in
a low-density area of the city. It may be a
modern version of cult commune. The atmosphere
is like a drug addict community. Sometimes,
they are taking only the parts of the religion
that they like. Some of them are selfsufficient
communities.....
Garcon
Wow!
KATAGI
During the so-called BUBBLE period of the
Japan economic history, lots of Japanese
companies went overseas. At the same time,
Japanese Buddhist ideas also entered the
countries. But after the high economic period,
many Japanese companies left behind the countries.
However, some wicked spiritual ideas are still

40 EXT. The community field (outside, daytime)
Mainly, KATAGI converses with the Lady S, and GARCON follows him.
There are men running around in only their bathing suits...
Lady S
As you can see, the members of our

at five o'clock and start our day
with ZEN.
Men in bathing suits
Oichi-ni, oichi-ni! (one two one two in

I can't give personal info.
Garcon
Mmm... Yeah, I understand your
position... but, directly saying,
...some of the members of this
community may be involved in a series
of unusual murders. You must know that...
it's currently occurring in this big city...
LADY-S
Well!! … there is no such thing at all!
41 INT. Commune House (interior) -DAY
KATAGI and GARCON are sitting on the carpet.
LADY-S (actually the name is never called in the movie) comes

Garçon
This is the chronological sheet of the
date and time of the murder. We need to
clarify the alibis of the community
members here...
The woman leaves the room with the sheet-documents Garcon gave.
KATAGI
What do you think? Is she checking
the members' alibis properly?
Garcon
I can't say for sure, but I don't think
she knows well about this commune's main
act. For no reason, but she seems to love
this group deeply. It might be her life …
for no reason.
Katagi notices something.
He looks at the small window of the room.
From the window, a young woman is looking at Garcon & Katagi.
Katagi walks near to the window.
(CONTINUED)
27.
KATAGI
Who are you?
The young woman
We're all going to die and be saved...
BODISAWA is going to save us.
KATAGI
What are you talking about? Wait!
The woman runs off, laughing hysterically.
KATAGI
What the hell is that?
The front door opens and LADY-S returns.
LADY-S
Thank you for waiting. I checked the
general schedule of all the members.
There were no problems at all.
But one guy's action was bit strange...
Garcon
How?
LADY-S
He hasn't been back to his room in this
facility for the past two weeks.
Garcon
What?
(Saying seriously,)LADY-S
He's a very nice person and I do not
think he got involved in any of your cases!
Garcon
We need to know every information. OK? This
is a serial murder case. Murders.....! OK?
There could be more victims.
(After a moment,)The woman LADY-S
Okay......... He,...
He used to go to work from the room in
this commune. So, he has a work-place in
the city centre. Why don't you go there?
You'll find something there.
(CONTINUED)
28.
GARCON:
Cop'nker. (Thank you in Thai)
KATAGI
Um,I just saw a young woman with her
hair all messed up..
LADY-S
LOLA, right? Her name. She is LOLA … … …
She got some mental problems... but she's
getting better since she came here. We
do medication here. But ........... ever
since that incident, she's been saying some
crazy things.
Katagi
That incident?
LADY-S:
Well..., it was a strange story.
She told me it.
One day, those male trainees were
floating in the sky ........
I feel it was just a daydream...
Mmmm..., Please, … please leave when
you're done, Misters. Sorry,but,
...We're busy.
KATAGI is looking at the LADY-S' eyes deeply.
Garcon
Enough. We're done for today.
KATAGI pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful.
Then, the two leave the building.
KATAGI
Well, that girl..., Lola..., The lady
said she's taking medication now...
Garcon
Hey, let's go.

KATAGI is next to him.

The man:
Hum... I'm not sure about it. I can't
say no more. I cannot tell you Ian's
address. You know it. It is a personal
info. And,he doesn't come here anymore.
What did he do?
Garcon:
Well,... we are from the police.
You should give me some information about
this. It is related to The murders that
have been happening in this city.
The man
Oh no! He's the killer? He doesn't look
like that at all. He was very nice, quiet,
and ... well, he was a good guy to me.
The man gives Katagi a flirtatious look.
Katagi got his eyes wide open with a surprised look.
Katagi hurried to leave there.
43 EXT. Outside a cheap apartment in District B (noon) -DAY
With a noisy sound, a car comes into there with a hurry stop.
Garçon's voice;
This is where that Ian's living in. … hum,

liked you, John. Ha!
After pull into the parking lot, KATAGI and GARCON get out.
KATAGI
But … well … I'm straight.
Garcon
Hmm.
KATAGI and GARCON are waiting for Ian's return.
KATAGI, coffee in hand.(looking at the door of the apartment)
Garcon continues to eat ice cream...
A strong wind continues to blow.
(Annoyed,) KATAGI:
He's not coming back!
(CONTINUED)
30.
GARCON
Well, … wait. If Ian's not coming back
here, where is he going? Patience.
Patience. OK?
KATAGI
I go crazy if I do not move!
GARCON
What's wrong with you? Calm down.
Silence for a while.
KATAGI
You saw that girl, didn't you?
GARCON
What?
KATAGI
The girl... The girl who talked to
us in that commune, she was saying
some strange things. Her eyes reminds
me of the eyes of my girlfriend.
GARCON:
"...”
KATAGI:
My girlfriend was getting some medication.
She's talking about her feeling always.
She says this world is going crazy. I do
not know what I reply for her feeling.
Garcon:
"...”
KATAGI:
This world is crazy, … yes, sometimes
I feel it is.
Garcon:
Even if the world is crazy, we're just
doing what we have to do. It is true that
we all have the seeds of sin in us, but
we must not cultivate them. And,... as
policemen, we're the watchdogs of the human
society.
(CONTINUED)
31.
KATAGI
Hey, Garcon, huh! Well, ...you're just
an opportunist!!
Garcon
Mmm. Maybe, you're getting tired...
Yeah,..you're tired. Today, you go home.
It is the better way for now...
Katagi turns away and leaves.
Time passes for a while. A while after.
Suddenly, a tall white man is seen with his hand on the front door
of the apartment. Garcon hurries up to him.
The tall white man, putting his hand on the front door-knob, tries
to open it.
Garcon
Ian? Are you Ian, right?
Ian turns around.
Garcon
I am from Bay Area Police. I'd like to
ask you a few questions. Can you make
some time for them?
Ian
What do you,police-men want from me?
Garçon
I'd like to ask you some questions about
incidents, which are happening in this
huge city.
Ian
...I don't think I can tell you anything
that will help you , the police.
Garcon
OK. I went to the BODISAWA COMMUNE,
BODI.COM. , you know
Ian's facial-expression changes. Unnatural eyeballs movements.
Garcon
This's not an official investigation.
(CONTINUED)
32.
But I expect you might be able to tell me
something related to this case.
Ian, ...silent for a moment.
Ian:
..Would you like to have a nice drink?
Garçon:
What?
Ian
I think we're both tired. I know a good
place. Detective, how about a drink?
Ian's eyes, crystal clear.
Garcon
All right.
44 EXT. Chinatown, Neon District (night)
The neon lights in the nite-city...
Ian
What do you think, Detective? The
atmosphere around here.
Garcon
It reminds me of my young-adult days.
In my early 20s. It's a distant memory
now. Before I became a cop. Back then,
I was an Olympian and they gave me a
scholarship to college. The money I made
from my part-time job went to be paid for
all the fun around here.
Ian
Huh. It was before becoming a cop...
Garcon
At first, I didn't want to be a cop.
But when the FBI saw me at the Olympics,
they came to recruit me into their group.
'Cos I got the gold medal in the shooting
event...
(CONTINUED)
33.
Ian
That's amazing.
Garçon
I got the shooting talent from God.
I was the natural-born. I won the
gold medal with very little effort.
Ian
Huh.
Garcon
But I made a big big mistake in the work...,
woman. Yeah,...woman. I was part of an
FBI operation, and I leaked some inside
information to a woman I met in a bar. She
was actually a female spy from smugglers.....
Ian
And?
Garcon
The operation got fail. I was expelled from
the section.
I've been working hard since then.
The only thing I could do was shooting.
I had to relearn the basics of the crimeinvestigation
techniques. Seven years later
from then, I received a merit award from
the mayor. But...
Ian
But?
Garcon
My wife left me. I was working too hard...
I did not even have the time to talk with
my wife and kid...
Ian
So now you're...
Garcon
Yap. I live alone.
The two walk down the street at night, talking.

Anyways, It's a fancy bar.
46 INT. BODISAWA Cafe (indoor, night)
Inside the café, there is a lot of Indian art.
Ian

Ian points to a large painting on the wall.
In The painting, there you see a golden-skinned woman floating in

Garçon
Nice to meet you.
Madame BODISAWA
Nice to meet you too.
Garcon smiles.
Madame Bodisawa
Ian, is this person your friend?
Ian
No, he's not. He's actually a detective.
Madame Bodisawa
What?
Ian
There have been strange murders in this
city recently..., mmm... Don't you see
the news on TV, Madam?
Madame Bodisawa (FROM HERE:MADAM-B):
Oh, I remember... mmm
Ian:
And this cop is feeling suspicious of me...
Garçon
No.., at least, not yet... I just want
to ask you some.
Ian
And you know, it's more fun to talk here,
right? That's why I brought you here.
MADAM-B

47 INT. Private room - NIGHT
Garcon and Ian walk in. They sit down on the sofa.
Garcon
Let's get started. Ian, you belong to
that BODISAWA-Commune, right?
Ian:
Yes.
Garcon:
In the case of the Bay Area serial killings,
the killer left some strange words on the
walls of the crime scene, so we hit the
commune.
Ian:
I see.
Garçon:
I've done some research. You haven't been
back to the commune in a while. That's
why we've been looking for you. Why?
Ian
The commune didn't suit me.
Garçon
That's it?
Ian
That's it. I am free where I am living, right?
Garcon
・・・・・. We believe there are four killers.
We think they're all knowing each other,
and having the same crazy philosophy...
mad idea... to do killings in the case...
Just then, MADAM-B walked in.
MADAM-B
How are you two doing? How's it going?
I'll buy you your first drink, Cop!
MADAM-B puts three glasses of red wine on the table in front of
the two.
(CONTINUED)
37.
Madam-B:
Can I join you?
Madam-B stares meaningfully at Garçon's face.
Garçon
I'm interviewing Ian. I don't think
he's a criminal, but I need to. I do
not mind you join us, Madame.
How 'bout U, Ian?
Ian
I'll tell you everything I know. MADAM,
you can stay here too. I don't mind.
Garcon is looking at the watch on Ian.
Garçon
You have a nice watch.
Ian
Yes.
Ian has a cool red watch.
Garcon
I have the same one. I am not wearing
it today, though. But I'm sure it's
a nice piece!
Madam-B sits down next to Garçon.
Madam-B
I don't enjoy discussing watches!
Let's talk about something else, Garçon.
Are you married, Garcon?
Madam-B says so, and puts her hand on Garçon's leg.
Garçon
My wife left me.
Madam-B
Then you must be lonely...?
Ian
It's kind of like hearing U today,isn't it,
Monsieur Garçon?”

Madam-B stares into Garson's eyes.
Madam-B
I'm not married, either.
Ian
Madame, ...you like Mr Garçon, hum?

Ian leaves.
Garçon
Oh, come on.
Madam-B
It's fine.
Garçon
Mmmm...
Madam-B:

Garçon turns on the TV. It's a cartoon. He watches it a while.
Sound ; door opening sound Garçon turns around.
Madam-B comes out of the shower room, naked. She walks towards
Garson closer.
Madame
I am BODISAWA. I will take you to my paradise...
Madam-B's nude skin turns gold-color.
Then, Madam-B floats in the air.
Garçon
What? What is it? Is it because of the
beer I just had?
Countless hands sprout from Madame's back.
Garçon

Garcon
Mike, what's wrong with your leg?
KATAGI
He'd got injured while doing surfin', he said.

once.
53 EXT. Sukhumvit District (evening)
Katagi is driving down a tree-lined street.
He looks to be off duty and is dressed in plain clothes.
He's lookin' beyond the window, thinking about something.
Suddenly, he has noticed something out there.
KATAGI
What the hell is that?
He sees a strange boy in his sight from his car. A young Asian
man with long hair is swinging a wooden sword outside a house,
showing the serious face. KATAGI pulls his car to the side of the
young man (TETSUO). After getting out of the car, Katagi walks to
the young man. The young man does not look at Katagi. Just
continues to swing the wooden sword again and again.
KATAGI
You're Japanese, aren't you?
The young man stops swinging the wooden sword.
54 INT. In the car - TWILIGHT
KATAGI is driving his car and the young man TETSUO's sitting in

I feel this society is really just full
of shit.
Just then, TETSUO's cell phone rings.
TETSUO answers the phone.
TETSUO
Hey, I got a call. Sorry,... I'm going
to the balcony.
After a while, TETSUO comes back from the room's balcony.
KATAGI
A woman? Huh?

important to me. Hhhuuu..

Madam-B was working at the bar counter. Sees Tetsuo.
Madam-B
You're late!
TETSUO goes to the hidden room of the underground bar.
“Room of the Five Spirits” ..., this seems the name of the secret
room. The room name sign hangs on the above wall of the door.
The five persons of them gather together in the room.

disappeared into the block-digital-hologram-noises, and IAN's face
appeared. Ian was a killer! But, he is covering and hiding his
real face under the high-tech digital hologram, which he made!
*DAIT... or Daito, the sword-user.

KONG(Looking at NDALI&DAIT,)

The police car speaker
What's going on?
Garcon
We're the cops! We'll take your

So you think we should send back Mr Katagi
to Japan...?
64 INT. Questioning room in the police station (interior) DAY

to do anything, please do everything you
can to help him.

OK. I'll be at the station right away.
So, meet me there.
Garcon
Sure. I'll meet you outside of the
station today. Let's meet at the
Starbucks Cafe very near to the Sukhumvit
station. The basis of the investigation is
interviews. Right? The basic principle
of any investigation is to ask questions.
Yes. When you put the whole info-pieces
together, you will get results, … the truth.
Anyways, today we'll go to any place that
we can get to, and we'll ask around 'bout
BODISAWA.

I love this city because of those links
between different cultures... But there're
such people who try to use those links as
the breeding ground for evil crimes.
KATAGI
Yeah. We must get'em. They should be in
prison, right?

masala-style tapestry shop. The interior is decorated like a room
of the ancient Indian style, with posters of the image of the
Bodisava inside. Garcon's cell phone rings. Garcon answers his
cell phone.
Garcon
Yes. This is Detective Garcon.
(CONTINUED)

Madam- Bodhisattva (BODISAWA)
(the person calling Garcon): "It's me..”
Garcon
I'm at work ... I access you later.
Madame-B
That's fine. You can't forget the last
time you saw me, right?
Garçon, looking at a beautiful poster of an imaginary Bodisava.
And, he scratches his head.
71 EXT. In front of Madame B's apartment (mid-afternoon) -DAY
Garçon appears.
Garcon
Ugh... I'm here.... well well …
Garcon puts his one hand on his own face.
Garcon
... I have come to her apartment..., again.
I'm crazy about MADAM-B... I know it is
not good. I am a policeman. I need to
control myself... But I can't. Maybe I've
been single too long...?
Garcon's cell phone rings!
Garcon
SHIT!
Garçon switches off his cell phone.
72 EXT. Street -DAY
KATAGI's cell phone rings. He answers.
KATAGI
What? Mike's body was found in the
Chao Phraya River!? So that means that
the attacker was Mike?! Right? Was Mike
an enemy from the beginning?”
(CONTINUED)
52.
Katagi looks up the sky there...
KATAGI
.....there was the day when Mike was at
the station late at night. He said that
he had come to pick up something he had
forgotten...
At that time, Mike was facing backwards,
trying to leave the room..... Oh,my!
That was unnatural! He was spying on
both of us! And he was just leaving!!
Katagi puts his one finger on his forehead.
KATAGI
On that night, ... I didn't notice it.
I should have been more careful about
our surroundings!
(Flashback; Mike ... caught in the bucket in the dark at
P.Station)
KATAGI
Yeah, it was weird that I saw Mike's
back when he held up. So, now I know...
that meant he was on his way to leave the
front of the room where we'd been. Well...,
I'm foolish foolish foolish!
Mike was listening our talk!!
Now he … got shot/drowned.
・・・・・・・・KONG shot/drowned
73 INT.Madame B's room. -DAY
Garcon knocks on the door. The door opens. There is Madame B,
naked.
Madame B
Oh, Detective Garçon, your red watch today
is the same as Ian's......hmm....
Madame B, closes the door. Madame's kiss. Madame B's countless
hands hold Garçon. Garçon smiles.
(CONTINUED)
53.
Madame B
Mr. Garçon... One of my servants
disappeared last night. Can you take
his place...? Mmm-hmm.
Garçon
I'm going to offer myself to you...
Madame B
You are mine. Ho-ho-ho. You're mine...
Trip video, bursting...(Garcon's mind image visuals)
74 EXT. In front of Madame B's apartment. -DAY
Garcon comes out.
Garcon:
Damn, what happened to me? I've never
lost control like this before...
Flashback; the fantasticly-changed Madame B. The beautiful
image...
Madame B (voice):
You are mine,Garcon. You're mine. You
move at my will.
75 INT. DON BOSCO Thai Catholic Church - TWILIGHT
Garcon, praying.
A human-like figure approaches to him... (an angel?)
Garcon (looking at the figure),
"・・・Hmm.Mmm.”
The human-like, Angel-like figure says:
Garcon..., You are now captured by the demon.
Seize wisdom and Hold on to the teachings of
the Bible, and don't forget them.
THEN, the bell tower of the church rings.
Garçon looks at the bell tower. THEN, When Garcon looks
back at the mysterious human-figure, "he" is no
longer visible..........
Garcon
Was that an Angel...?
(CONTINUED)
54.
76 INT. Police Station (night)
KATAGI is at his desk. KATAGI gets his face up to the big clock.
KATAGI
Where the hell is Garcon? OH, MY...!
mmm...I'll take a nap...
KATAGI covers himself with the blanket on the room's sofa.
77 INT. Pool Bar -NIGHT
The sound of billiards echoes in the air.
Garcon and KATAGI are talking while playing 8-ball.
KATAGI
Garcon, ... do you know anything about BODISAWA?
(With a bit-panic facial exp.)GARCON
Yeah,well... I've heard that ... in that
neighborhood...
78 EXT. In front of Bodisawa's apartmen t -DAY
Garcon and Katagi're on a stakeout. The two of them're in a
parked car. (In a plainclothes detective car.)
Garcon
That window, that window with the red
curtains....! That's Bodisawa's room. But
John, … you think the woman who calls
herself Bodhisattva is a deeply-related person
for this case? Eh … ?
Katagi
Mmmm. It's my imagination... I was
drawing a picture of this case … YES. I got
it from the interviews I did. An Asian woman
who calls herself Bodhisattva(BODISAWA) is in
that zone. Or, some say MADAM-B. She is known
by her bar colleagues for her self-righteousness.
This woman seems to be a wicked user of some
drugs & witchcraft. I think she was mindcontrolling
four killer men.
(CONTINUED)
55.
She must have commanded her men to
carry out the murders. That's what I
think happened.
Garçon
What? (in a panic) What? You think
that's the structure of this crazy case?
BLACK.
CUT TO:
SUPER:
“ACT 6”
(-in SAME scene OF 78-)
KATAGI
It's just my thought.
GARCON
There's no movement today. For now,
we get back.
79 EXT. Sukhumvit Zone (night) (This 79-80 scene is P.O.V. -
the audience's point of view is the killer's point of view.)
You see a hand wearing a red watch, holding a gun.
The hand and the gun chase after the victim...
The victim turns around and rushes away from us(the audience).
The killer's gun fires. The victim falls down.
The victim:
"Hey, please let me run away... Why are
you shooting at me? Oh, yeah..., I did
bad things, yeah. I've made a lot of money
with my useless diet machines. But why do
you have to shoot me? No relation."
(CONTINUED)
56.
80 EXT. From the city-back-street (Night) to the Cape (Shooter's
POV)
On the screen, you see a hand with a red watch pointing a gun at
the victim. The gun front is running after the victim back.
Then gradually you will see the Cape.
Victim (to the killer)
What? What?! Alrighty, yeah, …
You're that BODISAWA's messenger being
who saves people? Ho! So, you wanna
say like that! You want to send me to
the other side so that bad guys like me
can't do any more bad things? And that's
supposed to be the salvation of my soul?
You have no right to judge me! your
master BODISAWA's insane!!
The killer's gun fires.
The victim, in a panic, slips and falls off into the water.
81 Black screen
Voice A
Mr. Mayor! You have come all the way
to here...!? HOW COME?
The mayor's voice
I heard that you'd got another victim
of the freak murder! As the city's mayor,
I can't just watch this anymore. Mmm...,
Cannot stand any longer! Where is the
Expert from the Tokyo Metropolitan
Police Department? With such a great
help, why you haven't caught the killer?
I wanna see the expert from Tokyo!
From the black screen to : VIEW of the station inside. (Katagi
takes off his blanket from his head)
82 INT.Police Station, ...inside the station (morning)
KATAGI
It's me. I'm really sorry, Mayor. I'm
really sorry. But I've gotten quite
important information.
(CONTINUED)
57.
(Mayor walks over to Katagi.)
MAYOR
Tell me.
KATAGI
In the city's greater zones,
there's a commune,..... where
people live together,seemingly
in some cult way of something of
Japanese ideas.
Mayor is looking at Katagi deeply.
KATAGI
I have found that out through my
interviews. Well, some of their
trainings're looking like the Japanese
Buddhist ways. But it is not true.
The philosophy of the Buddha no longer
exists there! It is a group of people
who use crazy drugs,and cheat people,and
they're killing. …over-using drugs,
changed them to the ones who got some
different personalities in one mind.
Mmmmm... mmmmm, it is complexed...
mmm. Hum.
mmmi.
KATAGI is putting his palm on his forhead.
KATAGI
Well,...I mean, if you were in there,
you're no longer a unified. You'll
be a person who goes back and forth
between the separate monster-like
personality and the normal. So, It's
an evil organization of the evil
dimension. Mmmmm, I am not a good
explainer... though.
Mayor
What do you want me to do?
KATAGI
With your full authority, give me the
OK to my operation.
(CONTINUED)
58.
MAYOR:
"What?”
KATAGI:
We're going in that camp! Yes, it
is today! … with our police force
of Bangkok.
At that moment, the phone at the station rings.
Subordinate A picks up the phone.
Subordinate A
...yeah, I see, I'm kind of in the
middle of something...
Garcon arrives at work. He is wearing a red watch.
KATAGI notices the watch and looks at it.
Garcon
You're kind of busy. Hum..?
KATAGI
We're now going into that camp! Alright?
Garcon
Okay.
KATAGI, GARCON, and another policeman go outside.
Subordinate A watches them, holding the receiver.
He looks at Garson's red watch...
Subordinate A
What, what? A red watch? Oh, hey,
Detective Garcon!
The three men leave, and get into a police car and a heavy truck.
After they got into a police car and a heavy truck, the
Subordinate A said,
(A) :
"They're gone, well, it's probably
just a coincidence. The victim, who
was about to be killed, fell into the
river, was swept away, and was saved
by a fishing boat.... The killer was
wearing a red watch. ・・・・・.”
Subordinate A thought about it for a while, then poured himself a
cup of coffee and has it...,
(CONTINUED)
59.
Subordinate A
A red watch is a common watch, right?
But...but...mmm
Subordinate A puts down his coffee and leaves the station with a
small milk drink in his hand.
83 EXT. Commune of Evil (Daytime)
There is a big red tent in the field. There, a police car appears
with sirens. Followed by a heavy truck. The cars stop in front
of the commune. Katagi comes out of the police car. He puts his
walkie-talkie near his mouth and says;
KATAGI
The missing girls are trapped inside this
tent. Now, we go in!
Armed police come out of a heavy truck. The officers enter the
tent. KATAGI looks that scene.
(Walkie-talkie in hand) KATAGI
How's it going?
POLICEMAN
They're here, 20 of them. There are 20 of
them. They all seem to be girls who are
missing and being searched for. The
perpetrator... I can't find him. Anyway,
we'll release the girls.
84 EXT. Field -DAY
Twenty girls come running out of the red tent. They run to
Katagi.
The girls say, :
"Thank you! Thank you!!”
After that, a policeman comes out with TETSUO (DAITO) in
handcuffs.
POLICEMAN:
You...,DAITO? Mmm... you might be in
prison for 115 years...
(CONTINUED)
60.
KATAGI
TE..., TETSUO...!
KATAGI, with his tears going down the cheeks.....
Garcon
What's the matter?
KATAGI
No, it's okay, it's personal.
Let's go.
KATAGI and GARCON enter the commune hut. (with guns in hand)
85 INT. Inside the tent -DAY
KATAGI and GARCON enter. Madame-BODISAVA (MADAM-B) is there!
At that moment, a race car breaks through the wall and enters.
It's Ian (NDALI) , who is driving the race-car.
Ian has a red watch on his hand. Then, THE POLICEMAN A comes in.
A:
Red watch! It wasn't Detective Garson,
I knew it! Yes, I knew it!
The Policeman-A, Quickly throws a hand grenade into the race car.
The car explodes. ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ NDALI got explosion.
Madam B , with an expression of anger.
KATAGI
HOLD your hands up. Do not make
pointless resistance.
KATAGI's gun is pointed onto the Madame-B.
Madame-B winks.
Suddenly, Garçon, who was standing beside Katagi, points
his gun onto Katagi!
KATAGI:
"What?”
Garçon:
My body is moving by itself! Some
kind of control on to me!!ahh!
Garcon's face is covered in sweat.
(CONTINUED)
61.
Garcon
My fingers! ・・・・ My finger!!...,
oh,my finger, it's about to pull
the trigger.aahh...!
Suddenly then, a white milk splash comes down to Garcon's red
watch.
The white milk covers the red watch!
Garcon comes back to his senses.
A:
The red watch and the will to kill, …!
THAT was hypnosis, .........
that was witchcraft!!"
86 EXT. Field – DAY
The sound of a helicopter propeller...
In the meantime, Madam-B had jumped onto the jet helicopter
piloted by ZANZE. The silver jet helicopter flies up.
ZANZE, in the cockpit, smiles from the cockpit.
The trainees with backpack-jets on their backs try to follow the
helicopter. The trainees fly away.
Garcon
That's what the flying demon is!
Madam-B and her men were planning
their own made Armageddon!!
The trainees suddenly lose their backpack-powers energy and fall
into the sea.
KATAGI
A split in the crew! Madam-B cut
the AI program remotely...!
The girls
DO NOT let them get away!
KATAGI

Chief (via walkie-talkie)
All right. I'll send out a specially
armed VTOL. Wait.
ZANZE (from cockpit) :
"Goodbye!”
ZANZE's jet helicopter gets away.
A little while later, with a roar, an armed VTOL appears above
Katagi.
It lands on his side.
The pilot
(Willie Jabberwocky, a black female pilot of
the U.S. Army in Thailand) says, :
"Mr. KATAGI, get in! I'm Willie Jabberwocky, the pilot."
KATAGI gets into the VTOL.
The girls saved from the commune
Wow, So cool. MASTER KATAGI. You have to date me
sometime! Master Katagi!
VTOL flies up.
The two planes chase over BANGKOK.
87 EXT. Over BANGKOK (outside, daytime)
ZANZE and Madam's jet helicopter goes.
KATAGI's VTOL chases after it.
KATAGI got his helmet.
THE JET HELI gets progress at a very high speed through the

The ZONE is a kind of high-tech related buildings area. JET HELI
is on the way of the electric power towers canyon.
After it, JET HELI gets to the high residential tower build.area.
There, KATAGI'S VTOL got the very close to JET HELI.

Some shops there... and JET HELI flies over the drive.
From JET HELI's pilot room, the drive view is wide and straight
ahead, and the sky is so blue.
JET HELI goes and goes running away from VTOL at max speed.
Then JET HELI turns left.
VTOL also turns left after JET HELI.
The TWO both at the max speed!
88 INT. Inside KATAGI's VTOL -DAY

KATAGI and the pilot smile at each other.
91 EXT. Sea (evening)

KATAGI points at the GPS and stares at it. The plane will pass
through the Gulf of Thailand!
KATAGI
This course... leads us to...?!
Pilot
Yeah, they're going to leave Indochina
and go to Nepal!
KATAGI
We'll be in trouble... Is this a
violation of airspace?
Pilot
mmm... yes... Shall we attack?
KATAGI
Wait a minute. First of all,
a warning: Stop. If you don't,
we'll shoot you down.
The helicopter ignored the warning.
Combat begins.
Chase.
VTOL fires.
ZANZE's helicopter easily dodges.
KATAGI
Those guys are trained in flight simulator
games, you know...
(CONTINUED)
65.
The helicopter slows down rapidly.
The VTOL is backed up by the helicopter (passing upward).

That heli got another missile!
We can't outrun it at this distance!
Comms: "It's Stein. Remote launch!”
The VTOL which TAKAGI and THE PILOT were in, does the dummy
ejection, by the remote-control with the mechanic, Thomas Stein's
decision.
