Do you have that newspaper?
BODY PART FOUND IN TOKYO BAY
So you speak Japanese?
Of course.
You didn't say so.
I wasn't asked.
Why was I not told?
Sorry, I didn't know.
Do your job.
Sorry. She's being a smart ass.
Be careful.
I understand everything.
I want you to tell me about the night Lily Bridges disappeared.
From what we can tell, you were the last person she spoke to.
We spoke for a minute or so.
She left.
So I went back inside.
Not according to your neighbor.
She says a few minutes later, you left your apartment without an umbrella.
I did.
So it wasn't the last time
that you saw her?
I didn't catch up with her.
Why did you follow her?
She had something of mine.
I wanted it back.
What was it?
My coat.
So you spoke to her again?
No. I said, I didn't find her.
You assumed she was going to the station?
-Is that strange? -And you never saw her again?
Answer me!
How many times do you need me to answer the same question?
Ms. Fly -
tell me...
how long have you been in Japan?
Five years and two months.
You have family here?
Just me.
What does your father do?
He's an electrician.
Brothers and sisters?
Seven brothers.
Six actually...
one of them died.
You are unmarried, of course?
Of course.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No.
Are you sure?
Absolutely positive.
Shouldn't you ask permission?
I never ask.
Why not?
You lose the shot.
Don't people get annoyed?
I don't photograph people.
What do you take pictures of then?
Water,
buildings,
reflections...
that kind of thing.
But you photographed me.
A friend of mine is organizing a special event for
Tanabata Festival and asked us to perform.
But that only gives us two months.
Maybe if we could practice twice a week, we could do it.
Exactly.
Let's try!
I brought you a gift for your birthday.
Oh really?
Just a little something
I've been working on.
Thank you so much.
I have many at home.
I cultivate them myself.
I don't normally give them away.
I love it.
I didn't ask you to do that.
Tell me.
Do you know someone called Teiji Matsuda?
I do, yes.
Did Lily Bridges know him?
Yes.
When did you first meet him?
May 3rd.
You seem very certain of that.
That was the date.
Was he your boyfriend?
For a time.
Why didn't you say that when I asked before?
He asked in the wrong tense.
This is a murder investigation.
You understand?
And we strongly suspect it was someone who knew her.
This is very serious matter.
Why are you so unhelpful?
You're not like Japanese women.
Yes, I am.
I can take your order if you're ready.
Just a moment please.
Excuse me.
What would you like?
Me too.
Look.
The light, the shadow, everything exactly right.
At school.
I was always in the darkroom.
There was an old teacher, Mr. Hyakutake, who taught me.
There were about a dozen people in the photography club.
But eventually they all left, and there was only me.
I understand that.
The subject always gives something -
some part of themselves - to the photographer.
If every time I took a photo it took a piece of your soul...
would you still let me?
I will put these away.
I've got to go to work.
Will I see you this weekend?
I have to work.
Yes but...
I will call you.
We finished. She left. I didn't try to find her.
When I found you, I stopped thinking of Sachi.
I'm sorry.
Please forget I ever did this.
I have to get back to work.
Hold me.
Did you have fun tonight?
Yeah...
What's the matter?
Well, you and Lily were having a good time out there.
She's a good dancer.
Were you jealous?
No, not at all.
Why?
I wanted you to be.
You are my girlfriend after all.
How many girlfriends did you have before Sachi?
Not many.
You were too busy in the school dark room?
I was.
When did you lose your virginity?
You know...
With Sachi.
I didn't really like the girls in my hometown.
Oh, really?
It's an old book
but has a lot about the culture of Sado.
It's a very beautiful island,
but not so many people go there anymore.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
You seem a little--
I'm perfectly fine.
-I never thought you'd come. -Why not?
-Well, it's good to see you. -You too.
We got carried away.
We?
What are you talking about?
I did it.
I killed Lily Bridges.
How did you kill her?
Tell me how did you kill her?
I smashed her head in.
With what?
A brick.
It's good you are talking now.
Tell me why you did it.
It's best to give us as much information as possible.
Best for you, I'm sure.
All you need to know is...
I am guilty.
Louisa Fly.
Come with me, please.
The DNA test results came back.
Looks like the girl in the bay was not your friend after all.
Who was it?
We don't know.
But...
we do know it wasn't Lily Bridges.
This puts your statement in serious doubt.
Did you murder Lily Bridges?
No.
Then why did you say you did?
Because I wanted to kill her.
You do realize that the crime you confessed to
would be punishable by death?
We have been unable to locate Teiji Matsuda.
Do you know where he is?
Do you think there's a possibility that Lily and Matsuda may have...
run off somewhere together?
Yes.
I thought so.
At this point, we are re-classifying this as a missing person's case.
I think I preferred it when she was dead.
We all live in our own reality.
Maybe in some way, you thought you did kill Lily Bridges...
but I never felt so.
You have guilt, but it is from a deeper source.
Why did you come to Japan?
Why do you ask?
Tell me.
There was this tree.
I used to climb it...
all the way up.
Sometimes,
I would take a book up there and sit reading.
One day,
my brothers showed up. They had been on a fishing trip with the Boy Scouts.
I was eight.
They surrounded the tree
and started throwing pinecones and stones...
at me.
I told them to stop.
There was this sharp heavy stone on the ground.
I saw my brother Marcus grab it.
I met his eyes
and his arm came up to throw it.
Then I just...
jumped...
right on to him.
Marcus fell back.
His head was pierced by a nail sticking out of a plank of wood.
He tried to get up with the plank still attached to him.
And...
again his eyes stared back at me.
He died in the hospital that night.
The nurse said to me, "It's not your fault."
I didn't know what she meant.
So I just said,
"Okay, yeah."
From that moment,
I didn't speak for three years.
It's easy to ignore people when they're silent.
So that's what my family did.
My parents were heartbroken.
I knew what they were thinking about me.
So, I...
planned my escape.
-How? -At age 11,
I started learning Japanese.
That's a very sad story.
Yes.
But it has nothing to do with this case.
Can I go now?
Sign this retraction.
Is Detective Kameyama here?
I'm sorry. He's not in right now.
Do you want to leave a message?
No.
It's okay.
He will be here tomorrow morning.
Thank you.
