Is it you, Mr. Kuwata?

I'm your manager! It's not me!

Then who!

Explain it to us!

We deserve to know!

What're you doing now?

Filming to prove my point.

Why... Why my school...

Haruna...

Let's go home... okay?

What now? Are you still filming us?

It's not like that. Believe me.

If you see this tape...

you'll understand.

This is what I just taped.

What does this mean?

It's because I tried to catch them...

It's my fault.

It's not you. Breathe.

Rewind Haruna...

Let's go home... okay?

Later, Kuwata called a psychic.

- This is the psychic,

Dr. Okazaki. -Hi, I'm the director.

I like to tape the ritual...

Do as you wish.

This is Dr. Okazaki.

And this is... You

must be Haruna.

Yes, I am.

Have you met before?

No, I don't watch TV, either.

There's nothing to be alarmed about.

I watched the tape beforehand.

I'm a psychic. Not a mind reader.

There is nothing haunting you here.

So she's okay?

She is clean.

What a relief!

My work here is done.

- Doc, a question. - Yes?

It's over, right?

I said there is nothing

haunting her here.

I didn't say it was over.

Not over? What do you mean by that?

I've already told Mr. Kuwata.

This is what we call

spirit possession.

We have to go to her school.

To the source of the problem.

If only we could, but... Um...

The thing is... l called the school...

but they refused when

I told them our situation...

I told you my coming here

won't solve the problem.

You were fine with that

so here I came.

Still... What happens if

we don't kill the ghost?

You mean "dispel the spirit".

Either way, we did the ritual.

I told you on the phone.

That is not enough.

Mr. Kuwata, I'm sensing...

You're hiding something.

Hide what?

Dr. Okazaki... What'll happen

if we don't dispel this spirit?

I don't know.

I fear what will happen to her.

Are you saying...

Something will eventually

happen to her?

Please! Help Haruna!

There must be something!

Calm down.

Show me the DVD you used.

I doubt we can see the

same picture.

Instead, I can show you

the tape I shot.

In that case...

show me that tape.

Okay.

Kitagawa! Tape!

Let's go home... okay?

Stop.

Let's go home... okay?

Doc...?

Mirai...

I know...

We have to go to the school.

It's the only way.

Hold the camera?

Idiot!

Hello?

What should we do?

We'll figure something out.

Seriously?

I'll call you back with the details.

Thank you.

Who was it?

- She said okay. -What?

The school just gave us

permission.

Few days later,

the crew visited Haruna's school.

Hello?

Uh-huh... where're you now?

And the doc?

I'm already here.

What!

You're not with the doc yet? Sh*t!

You're stuck in traffic?

You're worthless!

Get your ass here!

Right now! You hear me?

Sh*t!

- Good morning. -Good morning.

Good morning.

Where's the psychic?

Well...

The thing is...

What do we do now?

Let's just go without the doc.

What's the point in that!

Calm down.

You don't have to shout.

It might not be the same without her...

But today's the only day the

school said we could come.

Let's tape everything we can,

and have her see it later.

Thatjust might be enough.

Enough 7

Are you the TV crew?

That's us.

Hello, I'm Tachibana, the director.

This is the producer, Kuwata.

Mirai Shida, the actress.

And this is... Ms. XXX, it's

so nice to see you again.

I see you on TV. Nice to see

you back.

TEACHER:
KAYO MOGAMI (ALIAS)

Today's the school's anniversary.

So there're no classes.

No school activities.

That's why you let us come.

Where's the psychic?

We had some problems.

That's a shame.

I've always wanted to meet one.

This way.

Was she your teacher?

Yes. Never thought

I'd see Ms. XXX though.

Why not?

She doesn't believe in ghost stories. She hates them.

But she's the one who agreed to help us.

Come on.

You brought indoor sneakers.

They're better than slippers.

Well, we're the only ones here.

Do you mind if I tape everything?

Go ahead. But first,

I want to show you something.

Show us what?

Aren't you curious why

I agreed to help?

Come this way.

Your school is big.

IS it'?

Is this the girl's bathroom?

Yes.

Hurry UP...

In here.

This is the announcement room.

I want to show you one of

the radio club's tape.

What's in the tape?

You'll see.

This is your afternoon school news.

Today, I'm here with the swim team.

They will be participating

in the upcoming tournament.

First, let's talk with the Captain.

You must be excited?

Yes, I am.

When did you start swimming?

I started in junior high.

What kind of training are you doing?

It looks like a normal interview.

Keep watching.

What is your goal?

To win, of course.

Next, let's talk with Saito.

What was that?

What is your goal?

To win, of course.

Next, let's talk with Saito.

What is that?

No idea.

It looks like it's

floating on water.

So it may seem...

But I suppose...

you can make something

like this with a computer.

I guess, but... like my other

tape, it doesn't look edited.

Other tape?

We saw a girl in it.

Why are you showing us this?

Why not?

You've never believed in

ghost stories. You never have.

And you think this tape is a fake.

Why did you agree to help us?

The truth is...

the student who taped this became ill.

Became ill?

Mentally ill.

She's still in the hospital.

That's not all.

There's a lot of rumors.

Students seeing strange things.

They're saying there's

some kind of curse.

That's all they talk about these days.

A curse?

You want us to stop the rumors?

I thought if you came to the school...

And prove there's nothing strange,

the rumors would fade away.

You're very popular here.

Everyone adores you.

Nice kids.

Come to think of it...

The rumors got worse ever

since you became famous.

Never mind.

Someone's there.

No one's here but us.

There's nothing there!

- Who! -Kitagawa!

What the hell are you doing?

Sorry, I didn't know where you were.

- Who is this? -She's my assistant.

Where's the doc?

Um... When I told

her I'd be late...

She said to...

She said to go without her.

She'll see the tape later.

- What! What the hell! -I'm sorry.

She said she'll catch up.

I gave you one simple task!

Wait a minute!

How did you get in here?

The entrance, downstairs.

That's impossible!

I locked the doors myself.

No, it was open.

I'm sorry. I climbed over the gate.

But this door was open.

That can't be.

I remember locking this door.

I saw you.

Do you want to check the tape?

No need. Must be my misunderstanding.

So, which part of the school

do you want to see?

Let's start with the pool.

Fine.

Kitagawa!

- Grab a camera! -Yes, sir.

This way.

The shower from the video.

Excuse me.

There's no way it'll turn on by itself.

Miss. Shida...

What did you mean "from the video"?

We saw this shower in a video.

Who taped it?

We don't know.

Hey? You all right?

Excuse me.

Are you done here?

Yeah, we're done.

Why don't you drain the pool?

It's better that way, for maintenance.

Was that interview taken over there?
