The true inventor of the movies was Louis Aime Augustine Le Prince. On September 16, 1890, after visiting his siblings in Dijon, he got on a train going back to Paris and nobody ever saw him again. Neither his body, nor his luggage were ever found. The developer of the camera capable of shooting 4 frames per second... ...using paper-based film, was the Englishman William Friese-Greene. In 1921, at a gathering of movie industry people... ...which included not even one person who knew him... ...and while passionately giving a speech in front of an audience, he died. A natural scientist Emile Reynaud. Caught by a spell of depression that nothing was going well... ...he threw his films and equipment into the Seine in 1910... ...and died in a sanitarium in Ivory in 1918. And, the great "Grand" George Melies. Melies produced a staggering 4000 movies between 1896 to 1914. In the 1930's Melies was sighted at a kiosk in the Montparnasse station... ...with his second wife. He was making a living by selling souvenirs. He died on June 21, 1938. What is the ominous shadow creeping up behind the history of motion pictures? The truth would freeze the whole world in fear. "Talking Head." Coming soon. Well, looks pretty good. Replace the blanks tonight... ...and finish the first print by the afternoon the day after tomorrow, right? Yeah. Hey, where is Mr. Morita? We're in the home stretch now. You're determined to do this? Once the truth is revealed, the movie comes to an end. Now that the story has been developed around the mystery... ...that's the only way it can come to an end. Although, whether it will be the confession from the mastermind... ...of this whole thing, or a mystery-solving clue is yet to be known. Either way, it's by surviving that one is qualified to tell everything. Get Itano for me. Redo these. Can't hear you. Surviving to the end, your existence itself is set for a retake. Go and be reborn once. Self-replacement trick! Right behind you. Come out! Did you call me? Fool. Come out! It's your turn. What's the matter? What's the point of hesitating now? You or me, whichever survives will tell the truth... ...and put together a new crew to complete the film. That's the only way. In any case... ...a truth told at the end of the movie can't possibly be the one and only truth. True. But we aren't the only ones remaining here. You must have known it since long ago. Maybe ever since when you set foot in this studio for the first time. You just refused to acknowledge and accept it. What are you talking about? I'm finally beginning to see. A movie that has a name, but whose nature is unknown. Staff who were killed in order. They were faithfully acting out the roles given to them... ...and at the same time, hinting about the truth of the matter. A movie that is the story. A man who is being constantly spoken of by others but never shows himself. The existence who rules the situation from outside the frame. And that's not all. The man who cast a shadow behind every single incident. Everything was done to materialize his intentions... ...and it progressed according to his plan. Yes. The movie is, as we speak, moving forward as scheduled. Your predecessor isn't missing, nor is he dead. He must be, as we speak, somewhere in this studio directing this film. You and I, who are appearing in this movie... ...in order to materialize his intentions, are nothing but characters in the story. The one who remains standing in the end to tell the truth... ...it's neither you or me. It's him!
