whoever produced it.

The distributor might jump around

from site to site selling it.

I'll handle that.

Fine. We'll continue looking

into the company.

They're in court now, so if we're lucky

we can sit in on the hearing.

It's also important to know the

company's whereabouts,

and it may help us hone in

on the girl's death.

The case focused on the magazine's

disclosure of the girl's name...

and defamatory remarks about the

company, possibly constituting libel.

We were able to sit in just once,

but the plaintiff wasn't the company itself,

but just a client company.

As such, we were unable to find out

much about the case.

We weren't even able to find out

the company's address.

The defendant was present in the courtroom,

so we were able to talk to him.

We again asked to interview

the reporter,

but the magazine again declined,

on the grounds that it was still in court.

On the other hand, Nakagawa had

several replies on the internet,

not all of them were serious,

but it opened up new possibilities for us.

Yeah?

Really?

I understand

Thank you.

The reporter at the magazine

agreed to meet with us.

Sorry to trouble you.

Everything I tell you, I want you to say

that you found out on your own.

I originally intended to dig deeper, but,

as you know,

we ended up getting sued.

As a result, I'm under fairly

tight restrictions.

Still, I was troubled by the girl's suicide,

so I decided I had to talk with you.

I was... investigating the company,

even before her death.

The manager previously operated

a religious organization.

At that time, there were a number

of disappearances...

and suicides under strange circumstances.

The organization said that had

moved into their temples.

Regarding the suicides,

they said the girls were acting on their own.

They made up excuses.

As you probably know, the law doesn't like to interfere

with religious organizations' activities.

I guess you could say they're protected.

When I looked into these incidents,

the organization said they had joined

the temple or committed suicide.

I found that large sums of money

were involved.

You mean insurance benefits

and personal assets?

Yes. About two years ago,

the religion attracted quite a bit

of interest from the media.

The wave of negative press led

to it being dissolved.

But the media has a short

attention span and lost interest.

The head of the religious organization became

active again about a year ago.

That's the company you're interested in,

'Office R'.

The company's name is 'Office R'?

No, you'll have to forgive me,

I can't say the real name.

Let's just call it Office R.

It's an NPO and has nothing

to do with religion.

An NPO?

You can think of it in that way.

You can think of them as a

counseling service.

They solicited girls with eating disorders

and counseled them.

Is counseling ineffective for

eating disorders?

I think so.

There were suspicions that they

were providing drugs,

which would clearly have been illegal.

This is just my suspicion,

but I think they were using the

girls for child pornography.

They didn't want normal girls,

they wanted ones thin as mummies,

to photograph naked.

Such images attract high prices among

connoisseurs of such things.

Unfortunately, I have no proof.

A bit more closely related to

your problem,

I did meet with the president

of the company once.

He seemed to have some

strange sort of power...

Strange?

You mean spiritual?

I got hold of this when the girl committed suicide,

just before the company moved.

I hope it's useful.

Miss Nakagawa's brother's

name is listed here.

Is this a list of people who bought

the suicide DVD?

I couldn't say.

If it is,

this is a huge number of people.

What is this?!

Can you introduce me

to the company president?

What you're asking is impossible.

But if this many people are watching the DVD,

the result could be mass suicides.

I'm sorry, but I can't go any further.

Please stop filming.

If all these people really bought

the DVD, this is big - unbelievable.

You want to check each one?

Give me a break.

It's too much.

It's more responsibility than

I can take.

Then we turn it over to the police?

It wouldn't do any good.

Yeah Miss Nakagawa,

we found something huge...

if it's true, it will be catastrophic.

I take that back,

it's probably already happened

What? You found out about

the DVD? Tell me!

I contacted the guy who sent the DVD.

We made a big mistake.

What is it?

One, you have to watch the DVD alone.

Two, think about how we are different

from Kayo and my brother.

Different? We saw the video from

beginning to end.

My brother and Kayo saw it

on their PC's -

do you know what that means?

The DVD somehow interfaces with

some internet program?

Yes, that's why nothing happened.

I'm going to try it now.

Hold on, I'm coming to meet you.

Wait till we get there.

That will ruin everything...

Kayo's death is my fault.

This is something I have to do.

Just wait, don't do anything rash!

Miss Nakagawa? Miss Nakagawa?

Oh God, you have to watch the DVD

on your computer, and alone.

I wonder if it's programmed to automatically

access the necessary interface?

It connects to the internet

in some way.

Maybe it connects with the spirits of the

people who have already killed themselves?

I don't know!

I don't know what to think anymore.

The camera...

Miss Nakagawa filmed it!

Her watching the video!

She watched it alone!

She disappeared and several days passed.

We did look for her.

She hadn't returned to her home town and

wasn't at her brother's apartment.

We looked in all the newspapers

the following day,

but there weren't any articles

about suicides.

We reported it to the police,

but they couldn't help us.

She doesn't answer her mobile phone.

She had vanished completely.

I confirmed that the DVD had

been played on my PC...

after our conversation on

my mobile phone.

At least she left us this tape.

But, we don't know whether to believe...

what we saw on the tape.

The Last Footage

Miss Nakagawa Filmed

I received an e-mail message from

the sender of the DVD.

His e-mail address was masked,

so I couldn't write to him,

but he said it wouldn't work unless

I watched it alone and on a PC.

There's no doubt in my mind that my own

careless actions led to another person's death.

Kayo had no intention of dying.

Even now, I can feel her innocence.

Now, there's only one thing I can do:

To watch the DVD on the PC alone,

as the e-mail instructed.

I can't even guess what will happen.

Honestly, I'm scared...

but if I can't uncover the truth,

what happened to Kayo will

remain a mystery.

I've put the DVD in to play.

The scene on the rooftop appeared.

It's the same as before.

Nothing is changing.

There's the sound of construction work.

Additional images are appearing.

What's that?

This video will ensure suicide.

People who see it will die...
