Reincarnation Page #2

about going where people died...

...but the director wants

all the main cast to come.

I have the feeling

I shouldn't go to that hotel.

Why, all of a sudden?

Something's not right.

Strange things have been happening

ever since I got this script.

Strange things?

I see that hotel in my dreams.

And that girl...

I'd never heard of this!

Hey!

You read the articles.

That girl whose father killed her...

It's like I'm...

Hey!

Settle down!

But it's weird!

I knew that girl's face!

Look...

Her memories are in me.

Nagisa!

Get a grip, will you?

Look, even if, and I mean 'if'...

...you were that girl reborn...

...you won't die in that hotel again.

Well...

You know how big an opportunity

this film is, don't you?

We're here!

This is the site of the incident.

What's wrong with you?!

Sorry.

Ow!

Careful! Let me do it.

This is quite the fence!

This way.

Be careful up there. Watch yourself.

Be careful.

Watch yourself.

The door's open.

Everyone...

This way.

Watch your step.

This way. In you go.

Gather round.

Everyone over here.

First, here...

Shinohara...

Lay down here. Head over there.

Turn your head a bit this way.

Arms out like this.

OK, Shinohara...

The front-desk clerk died here,

like that.

Everyone...

...remember what you see,

what you touch, and how it feels.

Wait... don't move.

Be careful! Watch your step!

Suzuki, come here.

Sit here.

Your head this way,

your legs sprawled out...

Not all the way. You'll get dirty.

Yamaguchi!

Your head over there,

laying on your back.

Just enough to feel it.

I didn't ask you!

Sorry?

Why are we here?

So everyone can get

the real feel of the place!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

OK...

Please...

When he falls,

I want to cut to a close-up.

Then go hand-held...

Excuse me...

Don't move...

Hey... are you feeling OK?

I'm fine. Sorry.

You look a bit pale...

Sorry to keep you...

Mr. Kondo?

What happened?

Is Nagisa here?

Has Nagisa come back?

What?

I was by the washroom waiting for her,

but she's gone.

Gone?

What?!

Well, it's...

...the ladies' room downstairs.

I'll go check.

Where is it?

Downstairs.

Sugiura!

Come on.

This room...

The girl you're playing was killed here.

You sense things...

She's late, damn it.

It's odd, though, isn't it...

you knowing someone like that.

Well, you said you wanted to meet her.

She might help with my report.

No way!

That professor's going against

all that 'reincarnation' stuff.

You can meet 'Weirdette', but still...

'Weirdette'?

So why are you two such good friends?

We're not.

How do you know her?

Tell me!

She's just a friend!

Look, if you don't want to meet her...

She's pretty.

Well, she's a would-be actress.

She is, is she?

Am I late?

No, no. Thanks for coming.

No problem.

This is a big school, huh.

Yeah.

It's a nice place.

There's lots here.

Oh, this is Ms. Kinoshita,

Yayoi Kinoshita.

Yuka Morita.

Hi.

Hi.

Let's go inside.

Hm?

Have we met before?

I don't think so...

Oh, I know!

Sorry. Maybe it was before.

'Before'?

In a past life, you mean...

I'm sure we've met somewhere.

Do you often feel like that?

You must know the feeling

that you've been somewhere before...

Deja vu, you mean...

Hell, even I get that.

Sure! Everybody should know,

but they just can't remember.

You're just not conscious of...

But how can you tell apart...

...memories from before you were born

and ones from after?

It's easy. Research.

Research?

There's something you want to know...

Let's both go.

Go where?

Come on.

Thanks for the treat.

Hey, wait a minute!

Producer Koji Yamanaka

will now offer the sacred bough...

...in prayer for the safety

and success of this production.

"Eleven Lives Stolen Away"

Here. In a past life I was her.

...35 years ago.

You see it says she was strangled?

Look.

Doesn't that hurt?

No. I was born with it.

It used to be fainter, though.

Lately it stands out more.

Not good for an actress.

Where's this hotel?

Oh, yeah...

there's a picture further back...

Hello?

Hi. Can you talk now?

Just a minute...

There's a picture back a few pages.

Hi. I'm in a library now...

I'll call back.

No...

It's nothing really important

or anything...

You know that drama you were in...

"Professor Omori's Wife Badly Injured,

Unconscious"

"Mrs. Ayumi Omori - Sole Survivor"

Damn!

Sorry. Some books fell down.

Yuka?

Yuka?!

I'm hanging up, OK? 'Bye.

Yuka?

Yuka?

Yuka?

Yuka?

Together forever.

Together forever.

Why did you decide

to make a film about this?

Why?

I've been getting weird sensations.

Like at that hotel...

Why did you want me

to play that girl so much?

Why...

...were in you that room?

I got this for the film...

...from the family of one of the victims.

The girl you're playing

was holding this when she died.

All her bitter fury would have

gone into this doll.

Confront the spirit of the girl...

...who died holding this.

I'm the only one who survived.

I pray for them every day...

...but I never feel that the souls

of those children are at peace.

Please...

I got this when it happened.

I don't know how to say this...

That hotel...

We'd stayed there...

...on the only family trip we ever took.

I have something I'd like to show you.

I drew it when I was small.

Were you there, too?

I've never been there.

But I've always seen it in dreams.

This belonged to that man.

The newspapers all said

Professor Omori was mad.

I thought so, too.

Or at least, I wanted to think so.

But reading and rereading those notes,

I came to realize...

...that man wasn't crazy at all.

'The flesh is but a vessel.'

At some point

he went beyond his specialty...

...into where we come from

and where we go...

...and if our memories really vanish

when we leave our bodies.

It's like he was obsessed with that.

Is there a Mr. Omori staying here?

You are?

His wife.

This way.

In here.

Thank you.

May we meet again.

Yuya! Chisato!

Together forever.

I think...

...he was doing an experiment.

We're filming at last!

Oh, that film you gave me...

they got something off it.

It was hard finding someone

who'd work on it.

Where did you get it?

Hey, Nagisa...

Thank you.

You OK?

Oh yeah...

...what should I do with this?

What's on there?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Yes?

Ms. Sugiura, it's time to get changed.

Thank you.

Hello, it's me.

That girl Yuka I introduced you to...

Her family called.

She hasn't been home since that day.

Call me if you know anything.

'Bye.

Look behind you...

Like you were dizzy sometimes...

That's right...

Pant if you want...

Now fall!

Yeah... then wait for a bit...

Turn forward, then stand...

Like you're being pulled forward...

Good... you're dizzy...

Behind you again...

This way, too...

Stop... look right...

Good. Now left, and quickly...

OK!

Cut!

Can we do that in one cut?

One cut?

Hmm...

Yes, if we pull out the ceiling

and the walls at the corner.

Take out ceiling and wall!

I'm taking the wall.
