It's broken! - Because we're deep in the mountains.
- You saying it's my fault? Masa Endo - I didn't mean that at all.
- They should put up more road signs! It's useless! Juri Hello? Natsuko? Hi! Are you busy? Mari Nagata We're not there yet.
I'm so tired! Yeah, see you Monday.
What? Can you hear me, Natsuko? Makoto Onami - We're out of range again.
- Can you check the map again? - I just checked a minute ago! - We're almost out of gas.
Jun Haichi - OK.
We should be on the right road.
Here! Just as I said.
- At last! - I told you so.
It's so hot! It's still humid up here, too.
Impossible absolutely unbelievable! Well, we should be glad they had a cancellation.
What? Nothing.
Let's go in.
Shit! What now? We're late checking in, the key I don't believe it! No key? Where's the manager? He must be around here somewhere.
Must be around here somewhere.
Still out of range.
Yours too? What shall we do? How do I know? Really! Hello! Hello! Is anybody there? Hold on.
Hello, we're coming in.
Anyone home? Is anyone here? We made a reservation, Shibasaki.
Sorry we're late.
Hello? You think it's OK? Come in.
Inside? So this is it? You think it's OK, just walking in? Of course! We reserved it.
I'm sticky.
I'm going to take a shower.
You're right.
We made a reservation.
Wow, I'm really beat.
Fool! I've no change of clothes.
Fetch the bags.
No! Mayu! What happened? Nothing! No hot water, no cold even! Yeah.
Hello.
This is Shibasaki.
We arrived today.
Who? Shibasaki.
Today's reservation.
There's no running water.
Water? The water's cut off! The pipes must be blocked.
Whatever.
We need running water, now.
Right now? Yes! That's a bit difficult.
What? This area has become dangerous.
Folks around here don't go out at night.
What? No way! No, really.
Folks have disappeared.
Can't you wait until the morning? What? I don't believe it! Hold on a minute.
There's no water until tomorrow.
What?! He can't come until the morning.
Let me speak to him.
Stop fooling around! Get over here and fix the water! If you don't, we're not paying! Even if you come tomorrow, we're not paying for tonight! Hello? I'm sorry.
Can't you do anything? I'll be there first thing in the morning.
Don't go out tonight.
The rumor is that folks are spirited away.
Stay put until morning.
Hello? Hello! So? Is the water fixed? Or do we need to bear it? Well, something like that.
So, go on.
What? I'm thirsty.
But there's nothing around here.
There must be something back there.
Back where? I'm really thirsty! Now? I'm thirsty.
Shit.
Why does it always turn out like this? Damn.
A dead end.
Can I do a u-turn here? I don't believe it! You know what she'll say.
Freezing.
This is never going to work.
It works! What the hell was that? What the hell? - What the hell is it? Only one they had.
Wasn't there anything else? When you come to the country you try stuff you can't get in the city.
So try it yourself.
After all I went through to get it! It smells good.
Well, here goes.
Bet it's foul.
It's not bad.
I don't want any.
Can I have yours then? Since you keep raving about it, I'll try some.
Well, how is it? Unusual.
Give it to me then! I told you it was good.
I'm only drinking it 'cause there's nothing else! So give it to me then! No need to shout! Sorry.
See, I told you so.
You OK? Making me drink it, too.
What the hell? What the hell is going on? What the hell! What now? Stop it, Kota! It hurts! What are you doing? Stop it, Kota! It hurts! Stop it! Stop! What are you doing? I don't know! I can't stand it! I can't stop myself! I don't know why! I don't know, Mayu! Kota! MISSING PERSON Water! The manager must have come.
Not even a word! I'm going home! Why does it have to be like this? We've already paid for a second night.
It's the country.
Bugs get in.
Your pheromones were too powerful.
Jerk.
OK, OK.
That's so lame.
Shit! What now? We're out of gas.
I don't believe it! We're cursed.
Not a single car's gone by.
It's so hot.
Sorry.
No gas station around anywhere.
I've been looking this whole time.
What's that? The rude manager came by again.
He didn't even say hello.
I told him we didn't want it.
The manager? I had him share some gas with us too.
For no charge, of course.
Why didn't I think of that? You're useless.
It looks delicious.
Let's eat! I don't want any.
You still mad at me? I took responsibility and went for gas! Couldn't find it, though.
What's wrong? I can't figure it out.
You must have spiked my drink.
Oh, that.
So you did drug me! I did not! Do I look like that type of guy? Totally.
Ouch! That hurts! You opened the can yourself! That's true.
That's not fair.
You always uh-oh, the meat's burning! Cheers! It's not very good, is it? Where did you buy it? It? I can't stand it! I need to drink that juice! What was it? I can't bear it any longer! Shut up! Calm down a bit! I filled it with gas! I filled it up! Don't break down on me! It's crap! It's all crap! What will we do? I don't know! Why are you shouting?! Who cares?! After all I told you.
You scared the shit out of us.
We're customers! We won't pay! I told you not to go out at night.
What bullshit is it now? Let's go, Mayu.
The car! Leave it! If you get spirited away I warned you about it.
This is it.
Hurry up! Let me have some! I want more! You had more than me! Fix it! Fix it! I'll do anything you want! Sold out.
Stop messing around.
What? You said something.
What? Sold out.
Sold out means sold out! You've drunk it all.
Mayu! Help, Kota! Help! Mayu! Kota! Wait, Mayu! I'll save you, Mayu! Kota? It's no good.
It's hopeless! I can't do it! Kota! Kota! VENDING MACHINE WOMAN (Reporter) The man answers only, "Vending Machine, Woman.
" The police are continuing their investigation.
The missing woman still has not been found.
