Den-Sen

Suicide DVD

Infection

Our company mainly produced

TV programs...

on gourmet dining and local events

for cable TV networks.

Mr. Suzuki, is there anything

wrong with the camera?

I did a sound check.

There was some background noise.

Sir, something strange

arrived in the mail.

What?

It looks like a video.

What is it?

The letter attached says if

you watch it you'll die.

They probably sent it

to the wrong place.

We do gourmet shows.

That's for companies working in

horror and supernatural.

Check the address.

It is addressed to us.

Look at the DVD.

The packaging is really weird.

These used to be kind of popular.

There were letters and stuff

that brought bad luck.

I'm not interested.

It doesn't have anything

to do with our company.

Can I have it?

You like horror?

Yes.

I was going to throw it away

anyhow, so go ahead.

Why don't you produce

a report on it?

I'll lend you a camera.

It's about time you learned how to

put together a proper report.

It will be good practice for you.

Got it.

What kind of a report

do you want?

Do it like a gourmet dining report!

Like a gourmet report...?

That was the last time I

ever saw her alive.

I never thought she'd

actually die.

She said that she wanted to see it,

so I told her to write a report.

I really didn't give the matter much thought.

I feel absolutely terrible about the whole thing.

The police report chalked it up to suicide.

She jumped off the balcony of her

apartment of her own free will.

She didn't leave a note,

so we were all interviewed by the police,

but there was no evidence

any crime was committed.

Another woman commits suicide

It happened suddenly.

Kayo's parents came to Tokyo to retrieve

her body for the funeral.

Her parents thanked us for keeping

her on at the company,

but this only served to prick

our consciences.

The police asked if there was

anything I could think of.

I immediately thought of the video,

but I was sure they would

dismiss me as a fool.

Besides, I was the one who let her

have it in the first place.

I wanted to protect myself. Our cameraman,

Suzuki, apparently felt the same way.

I never thought it would

turn out like this.

I thought the director should take

responsibility for the DVD.

To be honest, I was scared.

You want me to tape this, right?

Tape absolutely everything.

Keep the sound on too.

We don't have an assistant director anymore.

This will serve as a record.

Hello, we met the other day...

Yes Actually, we lent your daughter

the company's camera

With the rest of her belongings?

Yes I see

I understand

If that's the case,

I'll go pick it up

Yes, I'm sorry to have

bothered you yes, goodbye.

What did they say?

It's still in her apartment.

Her stuff has to be out by the

49th day after her death.

They'll contact the landlord

to let us in.

We went to pick up the DVD.

We were curious what was on it.

But at the bottom of our hearts,

we may also have figured...

we could hide something that proved

our complicity in her death.

She was a fairly tidy person.

It's easy to tell she would have made

a good wife for someone.

And she was only 23 years old.

It's too young.

What are we doing here?

Let's get out of here.

She's dead, there's nothing we can

learn that will change that.

If I had only been more careful

Then, you believe it?

It's because I don't believe it.

Finding the DVD will prove that it

had nothing to do with her death.

I can't just let this go.

If we don't get to the bottom of this,

her soul won't be able to rest.

It's the DVD.

This is where she

We set up our equipment in the basement

of the office and started work.

The Last Footage Kayo Filmed

Kayo reporting I'm going to take a look

at a DVD sent to the company...

A letter was enclosed, stating that a man jumped

to his death after watching the video.

The letter was from the

man's elder sister.

With the cause unknown, the woman asked that we

determine what was behind the man's horrible death.

It's a difficult request to respond to.

Ordinarily, our company doesn't

handle such projects,

but in this case,

I was interested personally.

There are words streaming

on the screen. I'll read...

"This video will ensure suicide.

People who see it will die.

"However, the effect differs from

person to person

"If you survive seeing it once,

please view it a second time...

"from the beginning to fulfill

your wish to die.

"Please view at your own

discretion."

This seems to somehow be a

video to assist suicide.

An image appeared!

It looks like the roof of a building.

Well, what in the world could happen?

The image is fixed and there

is no change.

Absolutely nothing has happened.

It just sounds like noises from

a factory or something.

Maybe they're tearing down a building.

It's unpleasantly noisy.

What was on it?

Replay

You're right. I saw something.

Play it again in slow motion.

Slow Motion Replay

What was it?

For now, let's keep watching.

There is absolutely no change

in the image.

letter sent to company by

dead man's sister

There was no way to explain the footage shot

immediately prior to her suicide.

If you looked at it just right, you could see what

appeared to be the image of a person.

Neither Mr. Suzuki nor myself saw any reason

to examine Kayo's footage any further.

I was never the type of person

to believe in ghosts.

However, at the very least,

I had to acknowledge that watching that DVD...

was the last thing Kayo had done before

throwing herself off her balcony.

The brother of the woman who sent

the DVD in did the same thing.

It could just be coincidence,

but it was the same as Kayo.

We decided to pay the woman a visit.

Or rather, I should say, we felt we

had no choice but to visit her.

Hi, this is Takano from the

cable TV company

Hello I'm trying to get in touch with a

Miss Nakagawa, who sent a DVD in to our company

Yes, It's nice to meet you

I'm sorry to call you out of the blue,

but I would like to meet and have a talk with you.

Yes, I see. The address on the letter

you sent is OK, right?

Yes, well then, I'll be right over

Thank you for your cooperation.

Good bye.

I got in touch with her.

She says she can meet me now.

Did she say anything?

I thought she would be really serious,

but she wasn't like that at all.

Even just that is comforting.

Only half believing in the DVD's power,

I felt as if I had found partial salvation.

I had suspected the worst, but now it appeared

that I didn't have to think that way.

The world of evil spirits and revenge

from beyond the grave...

I felt my grip on reality growing.

I became calm and rational.

My sole motivation became debunking

the existence of a supernatural DVD.

Here.

Point the camera down -

I'll ask her if it's all right to shoot.

I'm the one from the cable TV company

who contacted you.

I'm sorry to have made you

come all the way out here.

Actually, we were doing a piece on the
