Ringu 2

- Get the corpse from the well.

- Yes, sir.

Mr Yamamura.

Don't. I haven't seen her

since she was a child.

The well was on Dr Ikuma's estate.

It was sealed when they

sold the place 30 years ago...

...and it was never opened after that.

But that is Sadako.

There's no record of a "Sadako", not

in Dr Ikuma's or the mother's family.

What happened to Dr Ikuma?

He died right after

the place was sold.

I'm the only one left alive.

Burn her! Dispose of the ashes

wherever you want.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

It's a very strange case.

One of the people who found her

is dead, and the other's vanished.

And there's one more thing...

The time of death.

According to the autopsy

she died only a year or two ago.

What?

That means that she was alive

down there the entire time...

For 30 years.

Everyone's talking about

this "video curse".

What happens in it?

I've heard that it's a creepy woman-

- who tells you that you will die

in one week's time.

They say she appears if you watch TV

late at night. Then the phone rings.

TV? What channel?

- Some localstation in Izu.

- Izu?

Do you really want to use this?

Why not?

You die if you don't

show it to someone within a week...

We'll have to get someone

to say that on camera.

- Still no word from Reiko?

- No.

The police called about her.

Is Asakawa Reiko here?

No, not at the moment.

Everyone's talking about

this "video curse".

What happens in it?

I've heard that it's a creepy woman-

- who tells you that you will die

in one week's time.

Excuse me!

Do you know what this is all about?

We haven't heard from her.

- A man named Takayama Ryuji died.

- Takayama?

Ms Asakawa's ex-husband.

The police have been here, too.

She's been gone for days.

- Have they been inside?

- No. They never asked.

Go ahead.

Ms Takano...

What's that?

A videotape?

Forgive me, father!

I had to save Yoichi.

Are you okay?

She asked me about a video

when I saw her...

She's a single mother, so they

don't assign her important stories.

That's right! Her boy!

He was in school...

- Ms Asakawa?

- She's not here right now.

This is the police. Ms Asakawa's

father was found dead this morning.

- Where's Mr Kadokura?

- Over there.

- Sir?

- Yes?

- Omuta, Shizuoka Police.

- Thanks for coming.

- Have you found the daughter?

- No.

- The woman in the well?

- We're reconstructing the face.

We're going to make a model

and ask around the area.

He found the body.

Hang on...

Do you want to see him?

People don't usually die like that.

- Are you recording something?

- Yes.

We're wondering if it

has anything to do with this note.

Reiko, I got rid of the tape.

There's nothing to worry about now.

He's been absent

more than ten days.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Why are you looking for Reiko?

I want to find out

why Professor Takayama died.

I'll check around.

I'll call you if I find anything.

Bye.

- Yes?

- It's the police.

I know it's late, but I'd like to ask

about Takayama Ryuji.

- Ms Takano Mai? First on the scene?

- Yes.

Can I come in?

Please.

That's right... Professor Takayama

taught math, didn't he?

- And you are...?

- His assistant.

Have you ever heard of

Yamamura Sadako?

- No.

- Her mother Shizuko?

- No.

- Ikuma Heihachiro?

No.

Takayama Ryuji and Asakawa Reiko

were looking for something, right?

- I'm afraid I don't know.

- I see.

Asakawa Reiko's father

was found dead today.

In a similar state to Professor

Takayama. Do you know what I mean?

Go away, please.

They'd found a corpse in a well.

A woman who died a year or two ago.

But that well was sealed

30 years ago.

It's hard to imagine, right? Almost

30 years down there in the dark...

Neither of the hands had nails.

They were found in the sides

of the well, where she had tried...

Go away!

All right.

Call me if you hear

where Asakawa Reiko is.

I'm sorry.

It's just such a strange case.

What's the "video" all about?

I don't know.

Nope...

- Do you live around here, Professor?

- Yes.

I can concentrate better here

than in my apartment.

- We're rolling.

- Pick up where we left off.

Three seconds...

You have to copy it and show it

to someone within a week.

If you don't, exactly one week later...

So there was an original video

that people copied?

Where did it come from?

It was just there.

Everyone has tapes

that they don't know what's on.

One had this weird stuff on it.

- How can you tell that it's that tape?

- You'll know.

- Does anyone have this tape?

- I know people.

They're scared, so they're all

showing it to each other.

Have you seen it?

Can you get me a copy?

Okay.

Look...

Excuse me.

Work out a price.

She was probably after these four.

They all died exactly one week

after they watched the tape.

It's hard to believe, right?

This is Tomoko.

She was Ms Asakawa's niece.

There was a friend with her...

Kurahashi... Kurahashi Masami.

What happened to her?

She can't speak.

She's in the hospital at the university.

The doctor can't talk about

a specific patient.

- You can only ask about his research.

- All right.

This way, please.

Ms Kurahashi?

How are you feeling?

Would you like to

sit outside for a while?

The doctor said the air

would do you good.

Are you still afraid of the TV?

I'll bring a partition

so you won't have to see it.

Okay?

They're here, Doctor.

Myname's Kawajiri. Have a seat.

We put photos of our patients

in their files.

- Do you know why?

- In case they run off.

That's right.

Illness can change people to the point

where their families don't know them.

So we always take pictures.

But when we photographed

this patient...

...using an ordinary camera...

...we came across something strange.

It's called "spiritphotography".

Something in a person's mind affects

the light. There have been many cases.

Is that what's happened here?

We tried just having

her hold the film...

Do you see the character?

SADA:

You probably think I'm crazy.

The entire university does.

Did you know Takayama Ryuji?

Yes. He was the only one

who would listen to me.

He studied medicine

before he switched to math.

Do you know he's dead?

It was a real shame.

Then why didn't you

attend his funeral?

You can't see it, right?

There's no need to rush.

Just take it nice and easy.

What's wrong?

Are you feeling ill?

Ms Kurahashi...

Get her out of here.

Tomoko?

Tomoko?

Help me...

Help me...

Restrain her!

Help me!

They said that was

the first time she has spoken.

Are you going to proceed

with Ms Asakawa's story?

Yes.

I wouldn't do that.

Why not?

I just wouldn't.

Did the girl tell you anything?

Wait!

I'm sorry.

Don't tell anyone.

The power you have now

won't save anyone.

Yoichi!

Are you Yoichi?

Where do you live?

Can't you talk?

Go in there.

It's not much of a place. Have a seat.

I want to go to school.

I'm hungry.

Well?

Do you remember Masami?

She was with Tomoko when she died.

Yes.

She passed a TV set at the hospital,
