Face-Maker (2010) s01e01 Episode Script

Trauma

This is your new face.
[Two months ago.]
Why the hell did you follow me here? Hiroaki, it's because I couldn't contact you on your cell phone, I wanted to talk to you about the inspection of the wedding hall.
- Don't you understand? - Eh? I am going out with that woman, so see ya.
Wait! For me, there's no one else but Hiroaki.
- If it's for Hiroaki's sake - Shut the hell up! Seeing your face pisses me off! Hiroaki! Seeing your face pisses me off! It's all because of this face It's all because of this face Miss, I have expressed many times, we cannot comply with your wishes at this establishment.
Please, I beg you.
I was turned away everywhere I went.
This is the last place.
Please transform me into someone else.
I can pay whatever the price is.
Please.
There's a limit to cosmetic surgery Iwant to be reborn.
Nothing good will come from living on like this.
Because of this face, happiness always escapes from me.
Because of this face Because of this face Can you keep a secret? Eh? Please go to the basement.
This way.
Come in.
Umm Please take care of me - No traces of previous surgery.
- Yes.
You can tell? - What are you doing?! - Please be quiet.
- No silicon.
- Please stop.
I have not tampered with any part of my body! An operation is a delicate procedure.
An irresponsible operation, without grasping accurate information about whether the bones have become brittle or the condition of the muscles, can cost you your life once the scalpel pierces the body.
It is necessary to examine your body.
Please endure it.
A body untouched by a surgeon's scalpel.
A natural subject, untainted.
Didn't I say that before? This is just sexual harassment! From here on out, I shall be resculpting your naked body.
It's not sexual harassment.
I'm going out.
It was my mistake for coming to this shady place.
Didn't you come here because you wanted to change your life? You said, "I want to become someone else.
I want to be reborn.
" No matter which doctor you went to, they all turned you down.
You lost your will to go on, didn't you? Perhaps you will commit suicide the moment you leave here.
Your face reflects your heart's turmoil.
The muscles in your face; triangularis and orbicularis oris muscles, tell the truth.
- But other than death, I - Please, rest assured.
- Right now, a chance has come.
- Chance? That which is necessary for people to be reborn is despair.
This! Amongst these, who do you want to become? Choose which ever you like.
Eh? I will let you be reborn with the face you desire.
With such a beautiful face, even I can become someone.
Yes but, once a person has had an operation they cannot have another.
That is my condition.
How much does it cost? - We don't ask money.
- Eh? Payment for your operation will be your face.
My face! In exchange for turning you into someone else, I shall take your face.
Could it be the faces here originally belonged to someone else?! Face Maker.
I've heard rumours about you! Somewhere in Tokyo, there's a cosmetic surgeon who lets people become reborn as someone else! Please transform me into someone else.
Please! Kirishima Shun, once belonged to the United States Marshals Service.
As part of the US Federal Witness Protection Program.
he performed cosmetic surgery.
Granting people new faces, he was known in the black market as: Face Maker.
Face Maker.

This is your new face.
Thank you very much! I don't know how I should thank you Ah my voice If your physique changes this much, your voice also changes too.
As a farewell gift for your new departure, I will leave you with a quote from French philosophers, Deleuze and Guattari.
"Dismantling the face is no mean affair.
" "Madness is a definite danger.
" Madness There have been instances after someone obtains another person's face, suppressed desires are unleashed.
When you change your face, it will invariably have an effect.
You may be consumed by this face.
I Since I was little, I have been tormented by my former face.
The people I loved They all disappeared.
That's why I'll become a different person and be happy.
This time, for sure.
Why everyone is starring at me? Do they realize I've had surgery? Hey, hey.
Your eyes are super cute.
- It's not surgery! - Huh?! - Nevermind.
- Say, if you're free, wanna get a drink? Here is my business card.
Do you belong to any establishment? Establishment? Currently, our place offers double the premium wage.
No, no, ours is triple.
Ah excuse me.
Please pardon my intrusion, but here is my business card.
Do you have any interest in show business? I see.
This is how it is for a beautiful person.
They're always being looked at and being called out.
[Higuchi Reimi.]
I wonder how he would view the present me now? Are you meeting someone? Let me treat you to a glass.
I am Endo from Soua Agency.
Nice to meet you.
From Nanbu department store to EL Mart, - I'm in charge of Tokiwa Automobiles - I I have no interest in a man who brags about his own titles.
Unfortunately, my ideals are high too.
Yet, when all those ideals combine and take form, they become you.
Let's go! There's a cafe I want to take you to.
He never took me to this cafe before.
I hear the pasta here is delicious.
Want to go try it out? I'm busy.
How about you go alone? This is the first time I've seen this this side of him.
Hey, get further away from me! What if someone we know sees us? Who would have thought that by me changing my face, he would change this much? It's not just him.
Wow, for real? What men see isn't what's inside.
It's the face.
When you're ugly, no matter what you do, you never enter men's field of vision.
When you're beautiful, without doing anything at all, you become the centre of male attention.
I've obtained the privilege.
Reimi Close your eyes.
- Eh? - Hurry up.
Open your eyes.
This is! Will you go out with me.
with the intention to marry me? All I think about is you, Reimi.
It can't be anyone else but Reimi for me.
This person would probably forever love the me who has become beautiful.
Hiroaki! - You! - Why won't you pick up my calls? ¥3,000,000 yen! Look, I've prepared it! - What is this about?! - Didn't you say if I got all the money, you'd meet with me?! - Stop it already! - Kyaa! Reimi, let's go.
This girl is crazy! I've spent a lot of money in order to go out with this man! - What the hell are you saying?! - He has gambling debts! II've spent ¥5,000,000 on this man! This man cannot do without me! He told me, "You're the only one I can rely on in times of trouble!" What about you?! - Don't touch Reimi! - Kyaa! Listen, you promised you would never appear before me again.
Did you hear me? Hey! Huh?! Did you hear me or not? Hey, I'm asking you if you fucking heard me! STOP IT!! Reimi! Open the door! This is a misunderstanding! Reimi! - Hey, Reimi! I beg you - What is there to be merry about? - Don't touch her! - Kyaa! Seeing your face pisses me off! Reimi! Hey, Reimi! That woman was me - Reimi open the door.
- He was the man who threw me away Only this much? All my savings are gone And I've already given you ¥5,000,000.
In order to raise my sales record, I need more money for entertainment expenses.
If I get promoted, I'll pay you back properly, so If I can't achieve results in business, then marriage is still far away The only one I can rely on in times of trouble is you, Kayoko! Please, I beg you! I understand.
I'll do something about it.
From the beginning, I was just a source of income for him.
Reimi I understand.
I'll believe in you.
Reimi! As per the case you requested, Endo frequently visits an illegal casino in Shinjuku.
His gambling debts total approximately ¥20,000,000 yen.
He buys brand name goods and plays around with upcoming actresses and singers, accruing a debt of about ¥10,000,000 yen.
Using "work" as bait, he forcibily binds them in a connection with him.
Several of them meekly accepted the situation.
The multiple women who act as his income sources stretch out their own money every month.
Waaah! How wonderful! At ¥220,000,000 yen, you will hardly find another room as fine as this.
- ¥220,000,000 yen? - Yes.
- I've really fallen in love with it! I'm afraid I must ask, Will we be receiving your ¥22,000,000 yen deposit by the end of the month? - ¥22,000,000 yen? - It's one of the conditions of sale.
You know what? I've always longed to live in a place like that once I was married.
Marriage?! Ah I suppose it was too early to discuss this After all, we still don't have enough money.
Oh, no! It's fine.
Somehow I'll get the ¥22,000,000 yen.
Hiroaki Then, there's somewhere I need to drop by, so In these times of recession, he must be an extremely influential man.
Sensei! Why are you here? There's something I need to tell you.
How is your condition? The best.
I never imagined that it would possible for one to be so satisfied with life.
I see I'm really glad that you operated on me.
So, what did you want to tell me? Your face has been sold.
- Sold My face is on another person? - Yes.
Hold on a second! My face Where is this person from? I cannot answer that question.
I only came to report.
I understand.
It doesn't really matter what happens to that face.
That's all I have to say.
- Hey.
- Money again? - Eh? - I received this.
Soua Agency employee, Endo Hiroaki is a marriage swindler! He wants easy female targets to do as he pleases.
He is a gambling prince, smeared in debts!! Huh? - Endo-kun! - Yes.
What is it, Chief? Is this true?! No way.
It's fake! Someone set me up! The truth about the Endo Hiroaki you do not know.
He is the lowest kind of man.
He has deceived countless women! He is the enemy of women! The garbage of mankind! ENDO HIROAKI MUST BE PUNISHED!! Hey bro, you sure are betting a lot.
Shut up! I'm betting my entire fortune on this! Fourteen Fourteen! Four Two, Black, Even.
If we can't pay the deposit for the apartment by the end of this month, it will become someone else's, right? - But there's only two weeks left.
- Sorry it might be a bit difficult.
I guess so.
Don't worry about it.
We can just delay the wedding.
Ah, no, um I'll definitely purchase the apartment.
For the money, um I'll just borrow it from the company.
From the company? Yeah Recipient: ENDO Create Amount: ¥22,000,000 Item: Commercial production expense Date of Payment: 2010/End of October [Your transaction records have been updated.
.]
I have received confirmation of the ¥22,000,000 yen deposit.
Is this okay? Of course.
With this, preparations for our wedding are complete.
I'm so happy! Thank you! Reimi, let's become happy.
I'll believe in Hiroaki and I will follow you, okay? Yeah.
Are you Endo Hiroaki-san? You are suspected of embezzlement.
We have an arrest warrant.
You made a transfer of ¥22,000,000 yen for advertising expenses for an EL Mart client without management authorization, did you not? No No, that was per the company's instructions! We looked into a tip from the company.
Eh? The company received an anonymous tip from an outside information source.
Let go of me! Act like a man and go quietly! Reimi This is a mistake! Save me! Officer, this man would do anything for money.
He decieved countless of women, he plucked and harvested their money.
Huh? Please investigate his other crimes and deliver a severe punishment to him.
Hey Reimi, why are you saying this? This is my revenge.
Revenge? You don't know, do you? You wouldn't know a thing.
- Reimi, what are you saying? - We're taking you in.
Reimi!! Hey Reimi! This is a mistake!! Arrested for Embezzlement Suspect Endo Hiroaki's Inner Face Your face was sold.
Somehow, you have to stop it.
Stop what? I won't say anything more about you selling my face.
But, having it suddenly show up before my eyes is scary! - Suddenly showing up? - Yes.
It's chases me.
I wonder why she appears before you? I don't know.
I was hoping you could tell me! - Was your face really on someone else? - Eh? Or was it really yourself In other words, was it a doppelganger? Doppelganger? Someone who looks exactly like you in appearance.
Those who see their own doppelganger often meet a mysterious death soon after.
Isn't that just superstition? Though you took great pains to be reborn, you are still bound to your past.
That's what your former self came to tell you.
I don't understand what you mean.
Is that so? Didn't I tell you before that your face reveals your heart? Eh? Just now, the frontalis muscle in your face raised your eyebrows.
That, in other words, is a sign that indicates you are lying.
I took my revenge Ihad my revenge on the man who deceived me.
Revenge, huh? If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to start my new life.
I had to settle my past.
It's true that if people don't settle their pasts, they won't be able to find the true meaning of rebirth.
And so Has everything been settled? Soon, the suspect Shimano Kayoko will be transferred to New Eastern Police Station headquarters.
The suspect, Shimano Kayoko, worked for the Keyaki credit union in February of 2009, and is under the suspicion of embezzling ¥30,000,000 yen, to hand over to suspect Endo Hiroaki who worked for an advertising firm, Endo was apprehended just the other day in a separate case.
The only one I can rely on in times of trouble is you, Kayoko! Please, I beg you! I understand.
I'll do something about it.
Right now, the car with Shimano Kayoko has just arrived! I didn't do it! I'm not Shimano Kayoko! Please believe me! I didn't do it! It really wasn't me! I didn't do it!! Please believe me! The doppelganger who appeared before Reimi-san, was the manifestation of her feelings of guilt, wasn't it? If that's true, I wonder if Reimi-san will turn herself in? Still, there's the possibility that she won't be able get authorities to believe she was the real culprit.
Whichever road she chooses, the one who decides is her own heart.
