and something strange appeared.

What was it?

A well.

You could only see it for a second.

Was that it?

Yes.

You've seen it too, haven't you?

You'll be all right, if that's all.

But I wouldn't look at it again.

Masami can't speak either.

So?

If Yoichi goes on like this...

So what should I do?

Lock him away in some hospital?

What's it got to do with you?

I'm sorry.

Please leave.

Can I come back

and see Yoichi sometime?

Hi.

Here.

You got it? We said 20,000, right?

I watched it last night.

Mr Okazaki,

you'll watch it too, won't you?

Sure. There's no point if I don't.

Do you promise?

Of course. Trust me!

Hang on. The money...

Don't forget.

Nice catch.

Here it comes.

Are you studying that already?

Why were you at the station

the other day?

Was your mom angry?

Was there someone there?

The woman with long hair.

Let's eat.

Go and wash your hands.

I think Yoichi won't speak

because he blames me.

That's not true.

After we left my dad's place, the TV

would come on when Yoichi came near.

Could you talk to Dr Kawajiri?

If he's like Tomoko's friend Masami...

You've seen Asakawa Reiko.

- I didn't call him.

- A reporter asked us about a patient.

He'll be here soon.

We're going to try an experiment.

It might help the boy, too.

Come in.

This way.

What are you going to do?

This is tap water.

The paper can absorb...

...about that much.

Just like before.

Concentrate on the water.

That's good.

The water has changed.

Some kind of energy

has gone from her to the water.

We can explain the film

the same way.

It's energytransfer. In time

all the energy should be transferred.

We're going to try that now.

Have a seat.

- Are you going to record this?

- Yes. Just like with the pictures.

- But you'll see the well.

- A well?

- Everyone who sees it dies.

- You're still alive.

Hayashi... - Mr Okazaki.

This is a blank tape.

Can you set it up?

Masami! This is dangerous.

If everyone sees it...

There's something in my head.

Quick! The tape.

Even if we get it on tape,

videos don't kill.

Fear can kill. Prove that,

and the energy will dissipate.

- You can leave if you want to.

- No.

Begin.

Just like with the photo film.

Relax and look at the camera.

What's that sound?

Who's that?

Doctor!

Ms Kurahashi!

What are you doing?

Some girl called for you...

She said that it's been a week.

Was it the girl with the tape?

Right. I'll give her a call.

Good night.

- Sawaguchi.

- Is this Kanae?

- Yes.

- It's Okazaki.

- I've watched the tape.

- Great! I was really scared.

Don't you trust me?

It was almost time...

You know that strange woman...

The one in the mirror?

- Hello?

- Yes, that's the one.

Didn't it look like she changed

into a child for a second?

Just before you could see the well.

Where's the tape now?

I got rid of it. It's too dangerous.

Nobody else should see it.

But you have to show it to someone!

You have to, Mr Okazaki.

I don't want you to die.

All right.

See you, then.

The woman in the mirror...

Reporter Dies Witnessing Psychic Test

The test destroyed the reputation

of a certain Dr Ikuma Heihachiro.

The Fatal Demonstration

Yamamura Shizuko and Dr Ikuma

Shizuko...

You can't just will someone dead.

Dr Ikuma spoke about

how intention is a living thing...

...and how energy of thought

could take physical form.

30 years in a well...

30 years of concentrated thought...

...wanting revenge.

We've all seen it.

Did Takayama and Ms Asakawa's

father see it before they died?

Why the father?

Did her boy see it?

Him, too?

Just like the girl.

This can't go on.

Where's Ms Asakawa? Tell me!

Yes?

Kanae!

- Kanae!

- Come with me.

We just want to ask a few questions.

Don't worry.

Just a minute...

Get away from here!

Run!

Can't you hear me? Run!

What's wrong?

Mom!

Yoichi!

Freak!

- Freak!

- Murderer!

Freak!

Yoichi! Yoichi!

Yoichi!

Dad?

Dad!

We didn't save Yoichi?

Your child isn't Yoichi anymore.

Yoichi...

Yoichi...

No!

Stop it!

Okay.

Why won't this erase?

Who did the story start with?

It never really starts with anyone.

People get anxious,

and rumors start to fly.

Professor?

What's wrong?

Let's go.

Does it look like her?

Yes... just as strange.

We'll take some pictures.

That's good.

Sadako! Why did you leave me alive?

I was the one who made you

and your mother into a freak show!

Do you want me

to return you to the sea?

Is that it?

Do you know

the Yamamuras in Sashikiji?

There are lots of Yamamuras

around here.

A woman named Shizuko lived here.

Oh, there...

THE YAMAMURA INN

Hello?

This way.

- I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?

- No.

- Can you promise me something?

- What?

Don't do that again,

no matter what happens.

It's really scary. Okay?

Are you on my side?

Of course I am.

Okay.

I put Sadako in the sea.

It's the only thing I could do.

That's what Shizuko did with her.

She went off alone

when she went into labor.

She came home with a flat stomach,

saying she'd put the baby in the sea.

But the next day she came back,

and the child was with her.

What's that sound?

It's the cave where Sadako was born.

"The River of Offering".

Unwanted children were put here,

so the tide would take them.

Who was Sadako's father?

Hello?

- Yes?

- Is Ms Takano Mai staying here?

No.

- Well, at least you have vacancies...

- Sir!

Sadako!

You're dead!

You're dead!

You're safe!

Do you remember what you

dreamt about last night?

Okay. Think of your mother.

That's good.

Can I speak to you?

The thing that controls him is anger.

His anger summons her.

He can't control it.

My equipmentis on its way.

I'll try to make Sadako disappear.

There are no ghosts, no next world.

Despite what Takayama said.

Will Yoichi be strong enough?

What's your suggestion?

What if the police show up?

He can channel the energy.

He's the best medium.

I'll do it.

- Are you as strong as Takayama?

- Yes.

That doesn't mean

you'll be better than the boy.

What if I saw the video?

All right. All we need now is water.

Water?

Sea water doesn't permeate as well.

We need fresh water

to absorb Sadako's bitterness.

Guide the energy into the water.

It will dissolve there.

And Sadako will disappear...

- All right?

- Yes.

Take your places.

Remember that I'm on your side.

Begin.

Close your eyes.

Remember what you saw.

What did you see?

Yes! Your father and mother are dead.

You're all alone. What did you see?

It's that woman's fault

your mother died.

She betrayed your mother.

That's right. It's my fault.

Good! Just like that.

Dr Kawajiri! What's that?

I can see into the next world.

Sadako...

Sadako...

Take me!

Please.

Take me...

...and put an end to this!

No!

Are you okay?

Don't let go.

Let me fall.

Grab the wall. I can't hold you.

Grab the wall!

Ms Takano...

It's all right. No more!

Yoichi!

Yoichi?

Yoichi!

Take him.

Professor...

Yoichi, give me your fear.

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Climb the rope!

Don't look back.
