You gotta get that looked at, honey.

What's this?

Just a little surprise.

It's the honeymoon photographs.

I gave Bruno the film last night.

Seiko just dropped them off.

[Chuckles]

Oh, God, I look hideous.

What's this?

I don't know.

Reflection, maybe?

Or it could just be

a bad frame on the roll.

- No, it's in a couple of'em.

- Really? Hmm.

Maybe I misloaded the film.

[Chuckles]

Well, if that's the case,

then we'll just have to reshoot.

Mmm.

Enjoy your first day in Tokyo.

Hold that. Hold it.

Just like that.

Eyes to me.

Eyes to me.

Can you drop your hand off the bottle

just a little... Right there. Perfect.

Hold that. Last couple.

Lovely. Uh, perfect.

Okay. Can you bring your hand down

just a little bit on the bottle?

A little more, more, more.

Okay. Right there, perfect.

Hold that.

Last couple frames.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Can you show me how to get to...

I'm looking for, uh...

Sorry. Sorry.

- Uh, it was, um...

- Mmm.

- Good. Rainy.

Yeah, you're soaked.

Let's get you out of this.

- Thank you.

- Megan called. She's sending over

the photos from the wedding.

Oh, that's nice.

I should give her a call.

[Chuckles] You could,

but it's 3:
00 a.m. In New York.

- Yesterday.

- Oh. Mmm.

- How was your day?

- It's... the office.

This'll only take a second.

Thank you.

- Moshi moshi.

- So, where'd you go?

- Uh, mostly I just walked around.

- Can I see your pictures?

[Chuckles]

Sure. They're just tourist shots.

- [Beeps]

- [Giggles]

- Oh, God.

- [Chuckles]

- [Speaking Japanese]

- What?

Spirit photos.

[Beeping]

Hold on.

You know wh... what these are?

Yeah. My ex-boyfriend works

at a spirit photography magazine.

- There are whole magazines?

- Yeah.

- [Beeps]

- Any in English?

Um, I can introduce you tomorrow, uh,

after the photo shoot.

- Come on. It'll be fun.

- Um...

That's cute.

You girls have a date.

- Uh... Well, I guess so. [Chuckles]

- Great.

Hey. Ah!

- Jane.

- Long time.

- [Ben] Adam, this is myjane. Jane, Adam.

- Hello. I'm Adam.

- Lovely to meet you.

- It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Speaking Japanese]

- [Bruno] Look at you. You look like an old man.

- Bite me.

- Yeah, a cane or something there, buddy?

- I got your cane right here.

- Um, sake?

- Sounds great. Sure.

Hai.

So, what do you do when you're not

traveling the world with this guy?

Actually, I just became certified

to teach sixth-grade English.

Really?

Well, that must be pretty fulfilling.

- No, l...

- [Speaking Japanese]

So, hey, Bru, you remember that Russian

hostess from the other night?

- No.

- Yeah, I called her.

She's comin' in

for an audition on Wednesday.

- Unbelievable, this guy.

- Some things never change.

- Hey, it's my job.

- [Men Chuckling]

- Arigato.

- Thank you.

- What is it exactly that you do, Adam?

- Um...

- [Laughs]

- I, um, I rep models.

Um, and I got this guy all the girls

he's workin' with the next two weeks.

Ah. You guys make quite the team,

don't you?

- [Adam] Certainly did.

- [Bruno] Three amigos

of the international department.

[Laughs]

- To good friends.

- [Others] Kanpai.

[Bruno]

Just perfect.

- Eyes right to lens. Perfect.

- ##[Woman Singing Pop]

- Right there. Hold that.

- [Shutter Clicks]

Perfect. Okay. Hold that.

Emi, can you bring that pipejust...

six inches out from your mouth.

No, out. Right.

Okay. That's enough color.

Let's shoot some black-and-white.

See, uh, right up there? That's my office,

right up there in the corner.

- That's your office?

- [Ben] Clear frame, please. Bruno!

- Yeah?

- Be plenty of time for that later.

[Bruno]

All right.

[Ben]

Clear the frame, please.

[Voice Whispering]

[Woman's Voice]

You left me here.

- What did you say?

- What?

What did you just say to me?

Nothing.

[Clears Throat]

Okay. Here we go.

Uh, Sandra, can you

bring your leg out a little bit?

- Thank you.

- [Shutter Clicking]

[Voice Whispering]

TheJapanese love

paranormal phenomena.

- And your boyfriend works here.

- No.

- Ritsuo is my ex-boyfriend.

- Oh.

- He's dating Yukiko now.

- Oh.

[People Chattering]

Konnichiwa.

[Chattering Stops]

- Seiko?

- Ritsuo?

- [Giggling]

- [Speaking Japanese]

[Seiko Giggles]

[Quietly Speaking Japanese]

Sorry. L... I was wondering if you could

tell me where you get your photos from.

- Oh, he's a fake.

- Oh. Shh.

Look. Our readers want to see scary photos.

And real ones are hard to find.

So, it's not a big deal.

Right, so none of this is real.

I didn't say that. Look, I started

this magazine three years ago.

And this is the first photo

we ever published.

That's me in the photo.

It was taken after my mother

had passed away.

It's real.

But that's just one picture.

Come on.

I want to show you something.

[Voice Whispering]

We didn't fake these.

You know, spirit photography

has been around since the 1800s...

as long as photography itself.

All across the world,

these images have always appeared...

connecting us with the unseen.

And I think they're trying

to tell us something.

Like what?

Well, depends on the people

and the pictures.

Unrequited love.

Maybe you've had an unfinished business

with a dead relative.

Could be your father,

mother, children.

- [Voices Whispering]

- I've seen pictures where

living people have appeared.

I think it's a case of strong emotions

making themselves heard.

- Like a message.

- Yes.

Think about it. Why all that effort

if you don't have something to say?

[Voices Whispering]

You know, if you're interested,

wejust did a big story on a local medium.

What?

He's a powerful spiritualist.

We had him take a look

at a bunch of photos. Here.

Does this mean that you can't tell

which ones are real or which ones are fakes?

I know that you can't fake a Polaroid.

There's no negative.

You load the film,

you push a shutter.

And out comes a photo.

How are you gonna fake that?

Maybe you should take a picture of your girlfriend.

My spirit doesn't really like her.

Well, then maybe I should

take pictures of you.

- [Seiko] Hey, where are you going with that?

- [Ritsuo Laughs]

Ritsuo.

[Voices Whispering]

[Whispering Grows Louder]

[Voice Screams]

Ow!

[Groans]

[Gasping]

- [Knocking]

- [Seiko] Hello.

Hey.

[Gasps]

- Is everything okay?

- Uh...

Uh, yeah.

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everything's fine. I just... I, um...

I got some chemicals in my eyes.
