SWEETPEA: I remember now it was Jamie who said that the Golden Gate Bridge
wasn't anything more than a bridge.
And the forest,
it was just a bunch of trees.
There wasn't any mystery there.
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
What is the purpose of your trip?
I came here to break up with my boyfriend.
Welcome to Japan.
WOMAN: (OVER PA SYSTEM) Please do not leave baggage unattended.
If you see any suspicious objects,
please report to airport security.
(JAPANESE MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
ANSWERING MACHINE: You have one new voice message.
JAMIE: Hey, um, I'm running late,
I'll be there to pick you up soon.
You're not Jamie.
Jamie didn't wanna come and get me?
He asked me to come get you.
Guess I have no choice but to go with you.
There's a bus.
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
ANSWERING MACHINE: Hi, this is Jamie and this is my number.
Hey, it's Sweetpea, call me back.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE OVER RADIO)
(YAWNING) Where are we? Where's Jamie?
He's in there.
This is guide tape.
Just tack it on a tree when you first go in
so you don't get disoriented.
You can always find your way back here.
Your boyfriend's group,
they're shootin' not too far in there.
It gets quiet in there,
which may or may not be comforting depending on what your style is.
Don't get spooked,
but every so often the sound drops out in there.
You can be walking or talking and then you won't hear a thing.
It can be a little disconcerting at first.
I'm really sorry, I have to go. (CAR ENGINE STARTS)
Hello?
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
Jamie!
Hello?
Hey! Hey!
(PANTING) I saw you. Who were you with before?
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
Sorry. Do you know... Do you know...
Do you know it around here? Do you... Can you...
Can you take me to...
Here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Okay.
Thank you for helping me.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
When I was young we used to hang out in malls.
You meeting friends?
Yeah, me, too.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
Hey, hey. It's okay.
Come on, come on.
Yeah, come on.
Just hold me.
Look, got the map?
Just gonna go straight ahead, it's good, come on.
Can I tell you a secret?
Of course I can.
I traveled this whole world for Jamie.
I can't wait to see the look on his face when I tell him.
(MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
Come on.
Hey! "North" and "south" are wrong!
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
COLE: Kill playback.
(MUSIC STOPS) Hi, I'm Sweetpea, Jamie's girlfriend.
Isabel, producer.
I'll take this to Jamie's cabin.
Cole Gordon, director.
Sweetpea Jake. Where's Jamie?
(SIGHING) So...
We've misplaced Jamie.
But the men here like Mak
assure us that people get a little lost out here... Hmm.
...and that there's nothing to worry about. Hmm.
And we were worried earlier,
for a short while this morning when he wasn't here.
Yeah.
But,
it is a little disorienting here and...
That's me preaching to the choir, clearly.
And, well, sometimes...
Sometimes men just like to piss in the woods alone.
Everything was fine first two days.
And then suddenly this morning, poof, he was gone.
Poof. Hmm.
My guess,
he just wanted some time to himself.
Yeah, a little "me" time.
I'm sure he'll be back real soon.
You seem like a peach and I bet he can't wait
to reunite with you, baby doll.
He figured it out.
I beg your pardon?
My boyfriend is brilliant.
Come again.
He figured it out.
I came here to set him loose.
You came all the way to Japan to break up with him?
Yeah, it's animal behavior to do it in a text.
Sure, absolutely.
He's just gonna wait out there.
He's gonna wait out there until I leave.
I'm not leaving.
I don't think we budgeted for this.
Okay. So, let me... Let me get this straight.
He's holding up this production,
pissing in the woods, so to speak,
so that you don't dump him?
(ISABEL CLEARS THROAT)
(SIGHS)
SWEETPEA: I don't think we've met.
I'm Signe.
Hi, Signay.
Signe.
What did I say?
"Sig-nay."
Where's Jamie's cabin? It's over...
I'm sorry, I don't recall asking you.
Great idea.
You two partner up.
You know the woods, you know the man.
We have a film to make. Yeah.
You're still gonna shoot the music video?
How can you do that without the singer?
We've got a dress, a model, a location.
Well, it's money, dear. It's uncouth to discuss, but, you know.
(SOFTLY) I just want it to be good.
MAK: That's Jamie's.
I don't need a partner.
Okay.
God, he's so good at playing games. It's almost admirable.
Certainly.
It wasn't that you left me in the parking lot,
it was how you left me in the parking lot.
That's reasonable.
Look, I appreciate you picking me up from the airport.
It was Jamie's responsibility and you really didn't have to, but...
Is there a reason why you left me?
Mostly it was because I had to go.
If I may point out,
you arrived here on your own. Safe.
Yeah, if it wasn't for that little girl's help.
I think I saw her and Jamie together. I can't be sure.
I don't need a partner.
Okay.
I just wanted your first impressions to be yours, not mine.
First impressions.
This is a dense fucking forest.
(CUPBOARD DOORS SLIDING)
Where's your stuff, Jamie?
Wanna move like you're the wind.
Am I a bird or the wind?
COLE: Well, you're... You're a bird in the wind.
Beautiful.
It's Isabel, right?
I flew over from Tokyo on the 11:00 a.m.
Jamie flew over with Signe
and Jane on the 2:00 p.m. And when he arrived,
he didn't have anything with him.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SIGHS)
(POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES)
SWEETPEA: Is he back?
What?
Is he back?
Oh, I don't know.
What are you doing in my cabin?
Jamie's cabin?
What I do every morning.
Hang up his costume.
Where's his luggage?
He didn't have any luggage.
Why do you guys keep lying for him?
He's been on tour for a month,
he travels with luggage.
We met in Tokyo
right before we flew over.
He was wearing his own clothes.
He asked if he could change into his costume, his suit.
He wore it on the plane.
This is the suit he's wearing in the video, yeah?
And according to you, he has no luggage.
So, what is he wearing now?
I steam and clean.
He wears one suit, gets it messy with Signe
or whatever, and then we switch.
There's doubles.
(HAMMERING)
(SAWING)
I wanna go there.
(MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE)
I think we should partner up.
How did you find this place?
I followed the path from the cabins.
Your sneakers are out on the porch.
You can't do that, wander the forest on your own.
SWEETPEA: The wardrobe girl said Jamie is wearing his black suit.
Can you walkie in the description?
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(MAN SPEAKING JAPANESE OVER RADIO)
Thanks. That should make it easier to spot him.
Yes. Come on, we can cover more ground together.
Who picked Jamie up from the airport? Was it you?
113.
What? Why do you guys have numbers?
Are you guys prisoners?
International tour destination.
It's easier to read than letters.
'Cause I can jack you out if you're being held against your wishes.
MAK: The grounds, they're mostly flat, just trees,
so if he's taking time to be alone
or just think, he's safe.
SWEETPEA: Jamie does this sometimes.
MAK: Disappears?
SWEETPEA: Avoids things.
I think he did something
with Signe.
He's hiding out so I don't catch him.
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
Let me call him.
(RINGING)
ANSWERING MACHINE: Hi, this is Jamie and this is my number.
He's been here.
Not here,
to the grounds,
somewhere to charge his phone.
I want you to know I feel bad doing this.
Okay, keep watch.
Do we have a sign if she comes, partner?
No, she'll just catch you, so you better hurry.
Okay, right, then just knock like this if she comes.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
What are you doing in here?
I came to apologize.
By breaking in?
The door was unlocked.
It's a cabin.
I'm sorry.
I think I was rude to you earlier.
No, you weren't.
Is Jamie's luggage here?
No,
he didn't have any luggage.
Isabel told me he might have left it here.
No.
Okay.
Maybe I misunderstood.
Yeah.
I'll see myself out.
How did you know?
Just then, you knew I was lying.
How did you know?
Because, little girl,
you are so out of your league.
You slept with him!
I want you to tell me.
Tell you what?
You slept with Jamie.
(SIGHS) You don't wanna know that.
So you did, stop the cart.
No way, Jose.
Stop the cart. Don't stop the cart.
Stop the cart, Jose!
Obviously he hired you because he knew you.
Obviously.
How did it start?
You look like a sweet girl.
Why do you wanna ruin your life by knowing a detail like that?
So, I'm not the only person here who doesn't know? How did it start?
He sent me a fan letter.
A fan letter, really?
Let me guess, "Dear inconsequential woman,
"that underwear you spent your life selling
"looked great when I was a teenager.
"And for a woman who's pushing 50,
"you actually look fuckable.
"Love, Jamie,
"a cliche fucking rock star."
Actually,
he said I looked happy in all of my photographs.
You two are in love?
(LAUGHS) Oh, God.
I mean, what were you guys doing?
Where is his luggage? Where the fuck is he now?
We banged. Is that a crime?
He banged around, Sweetpea.
Everybody bangs around.
Now you know.
You feel better?
COLE: Maybe Signe's right. Maybe some things are best not to know.
SIGNE: Sit back and relax.
Enjoy your life.
You're free.
Clean as a new pin, Miss Marple.
You can look all you want.
Not gonna find anything that I don't want you to find.
ISABEL: You might be losing it, Sweetpea.
This is a man of means, no?
Has his way with women?
SWEETPEA: Yeah.
Type of guy who likes a little drama.
Comes to Japan to film a little movie for his music,
hires a girl he's hot for, finds out his girlfriend is coming.
And now instead of the most logical answer,
that he just went home,
you think he's hiding out,
sneaking into our rooms to charge his phone.
He called me.
I got a missed call from his number
but he didn't leave a message.
This proves he's charging his phone somewhere in the forest.
Or that he just left.
He left you.
He left me.
He's gone.
SWEETPEA: I don't know anymore.
Is it me or is it them?
MAK: Come on.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
I won't be able to follow along.

That's not fair!
He cheated!
Okay. Cheers.
MAN: Cheers.
(ALL TOASTING)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
You shouldn't smoke, partner. Forest fires.
I was thinking...
It makes sense Jamie left.
Went home.
Didn't have to deal with me and Signe.
These men are nice.
(SOFTLY) Yeah.
I thought they were creepy at first, but...
You're not like them.
I mean, you're nice like them, but...
You don't belong here.
Why do you think Jamie came here to shoot the video?
He's a public figure.
Being somewhere so far away like this place...
He doesn't have to deal with all that.
Do you think he went home?
No, I don't think he did.
Let me walk you back.
My coat.
I'll get it.

(SCREAMING) No! No! No, Sweetpea!
She's my friend, help her! No!
No!
No...
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
We should call the police.
MAK: (SOFTLY) We are the police.
(CAR DOOR SHUTS)
Where are we?
You have to come with me.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(IN ENGLISH) This is Kaori's dad.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(CRYING)
Sweetpea.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
I'm worried. MAK: Sweetpea.
(SOBBING SOFTLY) Please take me back.
Sweetpea. Just take me back.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
Please just take me back to the cabins.
Sweetpea, I have to show you something. Please calm down.
Gee whiz.
What a horrible break.
Just a kid. Goddamn awful thing.
We found this with her.
That's mine.
ISABEL: Why did the girl have it?
MAK: We don't know.
How many photos in the camera?
ISABEL: Why does it matter?
COLE: Well, maybe Signe's got a point there.
If there's another photo that he took, it could give us...
Evidence, clues.
Of what?
Well, the more we get to know our man,
his tendencies, likes, dislikes we may find him.
Ten. The film comes in packs of 10.
This is absurd.
How many are left?
(CAMERA CLICKING)
Eight.
There's another photograph.
We should all get some sleep.
We leave in 24 hours. With or without Jamie.
He's a grown man, Sweetpea.
There's nothing we can do if he wants to be missing.
It's not him in this one, is it?
No. It looks like one of us. Blue jumpsuit.
SWEETPEA: I have to find that other photo.
We cleaned the grounds.
We have to call the police.
There's been no crime, Sweetpea.

Jamie.
I've been so worried about you.
You weren't supposed to be here.
You can hold my hand.
There was this young girl...
Kaori, I met her.
She's dead.
Why are you here?
I read about it.
Where's your stuff?
I put it on a plane going somewhere else.
Jamie, you planned this trip.
Yeah.
You weren't supposed to come.
Yeah, I always follow you.
What life did you dream of for you and me?
One where you love me.
And you never stop loving me.
Marriage?
Yeah.
What else? Children?
No.
Yeah, we're too selfish for that.
And poor.
We're not poor, Jamie.
We will be.
Ten, 20 years, what will it be?
No one wants music by old men.
Yeah, but we don't need money.
Live on love?
Yeah.
What life did you dream of with me?
I came here to break up with you.
I know.
But you know I won't.
(SIGHS) I know.
(SOFTLY) You can call off the search parties.
I'm here now, I'm here.
Okay, I'm here.

Sweetpea.
Has anyone seen...
His belt.
