Sadako!

Hey!

Yes! After Shizuko killed herself,

Dr. Ikuma took Sadako with him.

But nobody knows

what happened to them since.

Find them!

Dr. Ikuma may be dead,

but Sadako should be in her 40s.

I'll explain later. Hurry!

I doubt Sadako is alive, either.

She killed a man just by wishing his death.

Her power was much stronger

than her mother's.

Then that video...

it's not from this world.

It's Sadako's wrath.

She's put a curse on us.

All the ferries have been canceled

because the typhoon's too close.

Try a fishing boat. We'll pay.

A fishing boat?

The typhoon might change course.

You'd better wait.

Okay, then I'll find one!

Mr. Takayama!

Mr. Takayama!

Hello?

Ms. Asakawa? I'm sorry,

but there's no trace of either of them.

Hello?

Thank you.

Yoichi!

Izu!

Ryuji!

Ryuji.

The phone didn't ring at my house.

The only place it rang was at that cabin!

Dr. Ikuma must've...

But we're stuck here.

You can't take a boat out

on a night like this!

Let me handle this.

Sadako's calling you, isn't she?

Or maybe she's planning

to drag us into the sea.

Take us!

It's strange, isn't it?

I'm not afraid at all.

Sadako probably died there,

before that cabin was built.

Was Sadako Dr. Ikuma's daughter?

He had a wife and family.

His affair with Shizuko caused a scandal.

That was another reason for his dismissal.

Let's find Sadako's corpse.

Will that lift the curse?

Will that save Yoichi?

There's nothing else we can do.

I have one day left.

I guess Sadako doesn't hate you.

Shizuko used to talk to the sea.

She mumbled things to it.

She looked like she was having fun.

I hid once and listened.

But it wasn't a human language.

Hello?

Yoichi?

It's Mom. I'm coming back tomorrow.

I'm bored here. I want

to go back to school!

Don't say that!

You'll hurt Grandpa's feelings!

He's laughing. Do you want to talk to him?

That's okay.

I'm sorry.

I'll hurry home.

What's wrong?

I still have something to do.

Say hello to Grandpa for me.

What time did you watch the video?

It was 7 or 8 minutes after 7:00 p.m.,

but it was before 7:10 for sure.

If the story's true, that

will be your deadline.

Here.

- A well, just as I thought!

- A well?

Her father?

Dr. Ikuma put this lid on.

Sadako's under here.

I'll go down.

Sadako was still alive!

She tried to climb up.

Lower the buckets!

Pull it up!

Pull it up!

Pull it up!

It's 6:
00 p.m. already!

I know! Hurry and take it up!

Pull it up!

Asakawa!

Damn it! Are you trying to kill me?

Hey!

Asakawa!

Let's switch.

You can't lift anymore.

No!

Then who's going to lift the buckets up?

We don't even know if it'll save us!

Then what about Yoichi?

You have to pick him up tomorrow!

Don't look down!

Where are you?

Come out!

Please! Where are you?

It's you.

Hey! Asakawa! It's past 7:10!

We're saved!

Why did he kill his own daughter?

Maybe she wasn't his daughter.

I wonder if her father was even human.

The marks are gone.

It's over.

I'll take you home.

Get some rest.

I've got a deadline for my essay.

Thank you.

Idiot!

Tuesday, September 21

Why?

Now I got it! Asakawa!

Are you a resident?

I'm Takayama Ryuji's wife!

The body's been taken away, ma'am.

What happened?

When I got there, he was

lying on the floor.

Did he say anything to you? About a video?

His face...

Why, Ryuji?

Will Yoichi die, too?

Didn't we lift the curse?

Why was I the only one saved?

Sadako's curse was only lifted from me.

Why not you, Ryuji?

What did I do that you didn't?

What did I do that you didn't?

Ryuji?

Something I did that you didn't...

to lift the curse.

I copied it...

and showed it to you!

Dad? Yeah, I'm on my way.

I have a favor to ask you. It's for Yoichi.

I heard that there's a way

to lift the curse from the video.

You have to copy it and show it

to someone else within a week.

Then what happens to them?

They have to do the same thing

within a week.

Then it never ends?

That's right. It goes on forever.

But if you don't want to die,

you'd do it, wouldn't you?
