Blood Ring 2

---

- The corpse found in the well...

- Yes, sir.

Mr Yamamura.

No, it's not necessary.

I haven't seen her

since she was a child, anyway.

The well was on the estate of

Dr Heihachiro lkuma.

The place was sold 30 years ago.

Since then no one

has opened the well.

It has been sealed.

Then there's no doubt.

It's Sadako.

But...

No 'Sadako' is registered in either

Dr lkuma's or her mother's records.

What's happened to Dr lkuma?

He died, soon after

the place was sold.

So I'm the only one left alive.

Please cremate her immediately.

It doesn't matter

which family she belongs to.

I'm afraid we can't do that.

This is a very strange case.

One of the people who found

her body is dead.

The other one is missing.

There's something else.

The estimated time of her death...

According to the autopsy,

she died only one or two years ago.

What?

It means she was alive.

In the well, all that time,

for 30 years.

RING 2

Starring

Miki Nakatani

Hitomi Sato

Kyoko Fukada

Nanako Matsushima

Hiroyuki Sanada

There's a story going around

about a cursed video.

What kind of video it is?

The version I've heard is,

a scary woman appears,

saying, "You'll die in one week."

That's what I've heard.

It interrupts late-night TV,

Then there's a telephone call,

The late-night programme

on which channel?

What I've heard is

some local channel in Izu,

- In Izu?

- Yes,

Is it really a good idea

to use this stuff?

Why not?

You'll die unless you make a copy

and show it to others...

Yes.

I have to confirm that story

with someone.

Have you heard from Ms Asakawa?

No.

The police called about her, too.

Yeah?

Excuse me...

Can I see Ms Reiko Asakawa?

Well...

She's not in at the moment.

There's a story going around

about a cursed video,

What kind of video it is?

The version I've heard is,

a scary woman appears,

saying "You'll die in one week, "

That's what I've heard,

It interrupts late-night TV,

Wait!

Do you know anything about Asakawa?

We haven't been able to contact her.

A man named Ryuji T akayama is dead.

T akayama?

Ms Asakawa's ex.

The police came once.

She's been away for a while.

Did they go inside?

No, not at the time.

Go ahead.

Ms Takano.

What is this?

A video tape?

Dad,

forgive me,

This is to save Yoichi,,,

Are you OK?

Last time I saw her,

Ms Asakawa asked me about the video.

It was a human interest story.

They don't give a single mother

important reports.

Oh, yes, her boy.

I'll go ask the school.

Ms Asakawa?

She's not in.

This is the police,

Reiko Asakawa's father was

found dead this morning,

- Mr Kadokura?

- This way.

- Sir.

- Yes?

- I'm Omuta, from Shizuoka police.

- Thanks for coming.

Any luck finding the daughter?

None at all.

How about the body found in the well?

- We're rebuilding her face.

- Rebuild...

As soon as we have her model,

we'll take it

and ask around the area.

He found the body first.

Do you want to see it?

People don't normally die like this.

Was he making a copy?

Well...

We wonder if it has anything to do

with this note.

DEAR RElKO,

I GOT RlD OF THE VlDEO.

THERE lS NOTHlNG

TO WORRY ABOUT.

No good.

He's been absent

for more than 10 days.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why are you looking for Ms Asakawa?

I want to know what happened

to Dr Takayama.

I'll check a bit more.

If I find anything, I'll call you.

See you.

Yes?

Police, Sorry for calling so late,

I'd like to ask

about Mr Ryuji Takayama,

Are you Mai T akano,

who found his body?

Yes.

May l...

Please.

Oh, I remember Mr T akayama.

He taught maths.

Are you...

I'm his assistant.

I see.

Ms Takano,

have you ever heard of

Sadako Yamamura?

No.

Shizuko Yamamura? Sadako's mother?

No.

Heihachiro lkuma?

No.

Ryuji Takayama and Reiko Asakawa

were investigating something.

Is that right?

I don't know.

I see.

Today,

Reiko Asakawa's father

was found dead.

He died the same way

as Mr Takayama.

You know what I mean?

Please go.

They found the body in the well.

An unidentified woman, who died

one or two years ago.

But the well has been sealed

with concrete

for 30 years.

Can you believe it?

In the dark well, for 30 years.

Neither of her hands had nails.

They were all found in

the sides of the well.

Probably, she tried to climb out

so many times...

Please go!

Alright.

If you find out anything about

Reiko Asakawa,

call me at this number.

I'm sorry,

but this is such a strange case.

What's it all about, the video?

I don't know.

No...

Do you live around here?

I can concentrate better here

than in my room.

I see.

OK, it's rolling.

Let's continue.

Three seconds...

So, you have to copy it

and show it to someone else

within a week.

Otherwise, a week later,

at the same time...

So there's an original video

to make a copy from?

Yes.

Where does it come from?

I've heard that it's just there

in the room.

Everybody has some videos

they can't remember recording.

Among those tapes,

they find a strange one.

- How would you know that's the one?

- It's obvious if you see it.

- Has anyone seen it?

- I know someone who has it.

They're scared,

so they show it to each other.

It's going around among friends.

Have you seen it?

Is it possible to get me a copy?

OK.

Excuse me.

Work out a price.

Probably, Ms Asakawa was

after these four.

A week after this date,

all of them died at the same time.

Hard to believe, isn't it?

This girl, Tomoko,

she was Ms Asakawa's niece.

A girl was with her

when she died.

Kurahashi...

Masami Kurahashi.

What happened to her?

She's in the hospital.

She can't speak.

The hospital belongs

to your university.

The doctor can't tell you anything

about patients' privacy.

The questions should be

on the area of his research.

Fine.

This way, please.

Ms Kurahashi!

How are you feeling?

Would you like to come out

to the balcony for a change?

Doctor wants you to

get some fresh air.

Are you still afraid of TV?

It's fine.

I'll bring a screen

so that you won't see it.

OK?

Doctor,

they're here,

Hello.

I'm Kawajiri.

Please.

Our medical files are

different from others,

because we attach photos.

Do you know why?

In case they run away?

That's right.

Illness can change the patient, even

their family can't recognise them.

So we always take photos

when they arrive.

But when we took photos

of this patient...

..with our usual camera here...

..a strange image came up.

It's called 'spirit photography'.

Something in a person's mind affects

the light and exposure.

There were similar cases in the past.

You mean, this photo was...

We also tried just

having her hold a film.

This shows a character clearly.

SADA:

You may think I'm a strange doctor.

All of my colleagues do.

Do you know Ryuji Takayama?

That's odd.

He's the only one

who listened to me.

He was once in medical school,

before he went in for maths.

You know he died?

What a shame.

You didn't even come to his funeral.

OK? This way,

you don't have to see it.
